So,
thank
you,
mr
president.
First
I'm
going
to
apologize
in
advance
to
this
very
large
audience.
I
know
you
didn't
come
here
to
hear
me
make
a
15-minute
speech
and
I
hope
I
can
get
through
this
relatively
quickly
without
boring
you,
but
the
council
did
does
give
me
once
a
year
the
opportunity
to
talk
to
them
briefly
about
the
state
of
the
city
and
a
preview
of
the
year
ahead.
So
that's
what
I'm
going
to
do
so
again.
Thank
you,
mr
president,
members
of
the
council.
G
So,
as
I
noted,
over
89
percent
of
our
eligible
residents
are
fully
vaccinated.
That's
based
on
statistics
from
the
commonwealth
from
just
last
week,
so
we
are
in
a
better
position.
That's
a
vaccination
rate
that
exceeds
the
state
average
and
far
far
exceeds
vaccination
rates
in
most
of
the
other
20
vaccine
equity
communities.
G
We
have
a
vaccine
clinic
that
operates
right
here
in
the
heart
of
our
city
at
the
senior
center
every
single
weekend,
with
ample
supply
of
vaccines
for
first
shots.
Second,
shots
and
boosters.
We
have
testing
readily
available
covert
testing
in
the
city,
both
the
drive
through
at
beth,
israel
and
our
own
stop
the
spread
site,
which
now
is
relocated
next
to
home
depot,
which
offers
testing
seven
days
a
week.
There
was
that
period
during
the
omicron
surge
when
lines
were
very
long,
but
really
at
this
point
lines
are
quite
manageable.
G
G
But
if
experiences
any
guide,
this
city
will
respond
effectively.
We've
done
it
in
the
past
and
we'll
do
it
again.
So
I
think
what
we're
looking
at
now.
What
we
need
to
focus
on
is
the
recovery
from
colvin
and
when
I
say
recovery,
I'm
talking
about
getting
us
back
to
and
regaining
for
the
city
that
sort
of
strong
economic
momentum
that
we
had
prior
to
the
onset
of
covet,
and
I
really
feel
like
we're
in
a
really
good
position
to
do
that.
So,
despite
was
particularly
in
a
financial
position
to
do
that.
G
So
of
course,
task
number
one
is
for
us
to
make
effective
spending
decisions
on
this
huge
one-time
infusion
of
federal
dollars,
it's
40
million,
which
really
is
a
once-in-a-lifetime
set
of
money.
We're
never
going
to
see
anything
like
that
again,
and
so
for
15
million
of
that
funding.
As
you
know,
we
hope
to
invest
in
social
services
and
we've
entrusted
the
decision
making
on
that
to
our
resident-led
opera
community
advisory
committee.
There
are
folks
here
in
this
audience
who
are
part
of
that
oppa
community
advisory
committee,
and
I
could
tell
you
I'm
not
exaggerating.
G
G
So
that's
the
15
million
the
balance
of
opera
that
other
20
plus
million
I'm
going
to
use,
as
I've
said
to
the
council,
to
support
and
expand
upon
our
capital
improvement
program,
capital
projects
in
the
city
that
benefit
our
residents
and
remember,
investment
in
our
neighborhoods
through
the
cip.
That
was
really
a
hallmark
of
our
spending
priorities.
G
Pre-Covered,
I'm
going
to
continue
to
make
that
a
priority
postcode,
and
you
can
see
that
you
should
be
able
to
see
that
in
that
cip
document
that
you
have
before
you
tonight.
That
document
is
probably
the
most
robust,
significant
cip,
that
this
city
has
seen
in
recent
history.
I
mean
it's
certainly
the
largest
one
I've
ever
submitted
to
the
council.
It
includes
over
24
million
dollars
of
direct
spending
in
fiscal
year,
23.
G
12.3
million
of
that
coming
from
opera
funds,
and
so
projects
in
that
will
benefit.
The
community
include
things
like
the
complete
renovation
of
highland
park,
with
new
turf,
the
redoing,
all
of
that
open
playground
area
at
the
williams
school,
full
rehabilitation
of
kerry,
avenue,
continued
rehabilitation
of
the
garden
cemetery
and
the
full
rehab
of
that
e91
facility
next
door.
G
Really,
we
are
kind
of
leading
the
region
in
this
climate
change
effort
with
our
new,
not
suffolk,
office
of
resilience
and
sustainability,
and
in
just
the
first
year
that
office,
which
is
it
covers
chelsea,
river
and
winthrop.
But
it's
physically
located
right
here
in
chelsea
city
hall,
they've
really
pushed
forward
some
substantial
climate
resiliency
efforts,
and
some
of
that
is
reflected
in
the
cip.
So
assuming
this
plan
is
funded
by
the
council,
I
certainly
hope
you
will
fully
fund.
G
It
will
commence
work
on
a
cloud-based
micro
grid
project
that
will
bring
solar
panels
and
battery
storage
to
city
hall
and
the
police
station.
We're
going
to
advance
our
full
design
for
the
major
climate
protection
project
at
the
mouth
of
the
island
and
river
and
we'll
begin
the
process
of
designing
the
fortification
of
the
mill
creek
areas
from
increased
storm
intensity
over
the
next
few
years.
All
of
this
done
to
better
protect
ourselves
from
the
inevitable
increase
in
weather-related
emergencies
that
we
are
going
to
see
in
the
city
because
of
climate
change.
G
So
we
stand
at
the
start
of
2022
in
very
good
financial
health,
with
this
robust
cip
plan
to
improve
the
lives
of
our
residents
with
covid
I'd,
say
somewhat
in
retreat
and
transitioning
from
this
sort
of
dangerous
and
threatening
pandemic
to
something
that's
somewhat
less
worrisome.
I
think
so.
Then.
What
are
our
major
challenges?
What
are
the
things
that
I
expect
to
be
focusing
on?
G
So
for
me
there
are
three-
and
this
is
where
I'm
gonna
be
spending
my
time
and
attention
over
the
course
of
the
next
year
or
so,
and
I
want
to
talk
about
each
of
them.
So
the
first
for
me
remains
our
housing
crisis.
Now
that
certainly
isn't
limited
to
chelsea.
This
is
a
regional
problem,
the
housing
crisis,
but
it
definitely
looms
lodge
here
in
the
city
of
chelsea
and
I've
long
said
you've
heard
me
say
this:
that
the
best
way
you
can
address
a
housing
crisis
is
to
build
more
housing.
G
That
is
a
simple
solution,
but
is
the
most
effective
solution
and
thankfully
I'm
telling
you
we
are
doing
that,
including
some
real
major
housing
developments
on
which
we're
going
to
see
some
real
pro
progress
in
calendar
year
2022
and
some
of
them
are
going
to
add
significantly
to
our
affordable
housing
stock.
So
you've
got
the
development
at
the
old
mida
site
at
1005
broadway
across
from
walgreens,
that's
going
to
add,
38
new,
affordable
units
to
the
city's
housing
stock.
G
There's
the
361
broadway
project
that
was
just
before
the
zba
the
other
night.
That's
going
to
add,
42
combination
of
affordable
workforce
development
units
on
broadway,
then
there's
the
innis
redevelopment.
That
project
is
finally
going
to
actually
break
ground.
This
construction
season,
that's
330,
new
mix
of
affordable
and
workforce
development
units,
including
96
brand
new
units
for
our
public
housing.
Tenants
that
list
doesn't
even
include
other
housing,
mostly
market
rate
housing.
That's
under
development.
G
We
have
the
400
units
coming
on
board
at
vero
across
from
chelsea
high
school
we've
got
20
units
under
construction
at
25.
6Th
street
you've
got
another
30
under
construction
at
the
old
stanislaus
church.
So
this
is
a
lot
of
good
housing
development.
That's
I
hope,
going
to
make
a
dent
in
our
problem.
G
Honestly,
I
still
think
we
still
do
have
to
do
more
and
there's
two
initiatives.
I'm
going
to
be
presenting
this
year
that
I
think,
will
help
chip
away
at
the
problem.
Neither
one
is
monumental,
but
they're,
both
small
efforts
that
I
think
can
help
so
the
first
one
I
have
not
given
up
on
my
desire
to
have
the
council
consider
changes
in
the
density
in
the
r1
and
r2
zoning
districts.
G
In
the
month
of
march,
we
have
a
we're
going
to
have
help
from
chapa,
which
is
a
statewide,
affordable
housing,
nonprofit
they're,
going
to
assist
us
in
facilitating
these
community
conversations
about
zoning
in
the
r1
and
r2
zoning
district,
and
what
I
really
hope
is
that
we
can
find
some
compromise,
some
compromise,
among
advocates
for
housing
among
residents
among
counselors,
for
some
tweaking
of
the
density
in
these
two
r1
and
r2
they're,
the
two
major
zoning
districts.
They
encompass
the
majority
of
the
city.
I
just
I
honestly.
G
I
simply
don't
believe
that
those
districts
as
they're
currently
constituted
in
our
zoning
audience.
I
don't
think
that
they
are
reasonable,
given
the
pressing
housing
needs
that
exist
in
our
community.
So
that's
one
thing:
I'm
going
to
resubmit
some
zoning
change
to
you
after
we
engage
in
this
community
conversation
during
the
spring
time.
G
This
is
going
to
require
some,
of
course,
council
approval
and
probably
some
appropriation
of
significant
acquisition
costs,
but
I
do
think
there
are
a
couple
of
isolated
opportunities
that
exist
out
there
in
in
the
city
for
transforming
some
vacant
parcels
and
I
hope
to
make
at
least
some
submission
to
the
council
by
sometime
in
the
spring
end
of
spring
on
a
couple
of
apostles.
So
I'm
hoping
the
council
will
approve
that.
G
So
that's
challenge
number
one
is
housing.
The
second
challenge
I
see
is
restoring
developer
interest
in
the
city.
Now
I
just
went
on
describing
the
great
developer
interest.
There
is
for
housing
and
we've
done
a
good
job
on
that.
But
where
we've,
where
I
have,
I
will
admit,
I've
fallen
short-
is
getting
developer
interest
in
the
commercial
industrial
sector.
Some
of
it
is
due
to
covet.
G
So
I
just
want
to
talk
briefly
about
each
of
them.
So,
with
respect
to
the
waterfront,
I
actually
think
we're
going
to
see
some
progress
on
development
on
our
waterfront
this
coming
year.
First
of
all,
the
major
redevelopment
of
22
willow,
which
is
right
across
from
the
waterfront
off
of
marginal
street.
That's
a
major
industrial
parcel
that
redevelopment
is
actually
already
fully
permitted
and
we've
just
learned
that
the
demolition
of
that
existing
building
for
replacement
by
a
brand
new
you
know
high-end
industrial
building,
that's
likely
to
happen
in
the
summer.
G
The
last
tenant
is
scheduled
to
move
out
of
that
building
at
the
end
of
june
and
that,
as
I
said,
that's
going
to
bring
some
modern
industrial
space
to
the
city,
which
will
be
a
good
thing.
A
similar,
large-scale,
state-of-the-art
industrial
building
is
proposed
for
295
eastern
ave.
That's
the
large
vacant
parcel
across
from
the
burke
complex.
G
What's
that
project
also
has
started
permitting
they
filed
with
the
mepa
office
already
for
that
proposal
that
project's
of
particular
benefit
to
the
city,
because
not
only
is
it
going
to
generate
a
lot
of
good
tax
dollars
on
what's
currently
a
vacant
parcel
of
land
and
really
not
generating
anything
more
than
minimal
taxes
for
the
city.
That
project
has
particularly
because
it's
going
to
improve
waterfront
access
in
the
city,
because
its
plans
include
construction
of
a
new,
fully
accessible
public
walkway
along
the
entire
shoreline.
That
is
part
of
that
property.
G
Of
course,
we're
not
going
to
free
up
all
our
potential
on
the
waterfront
until
that
municipal
harbor
plan
that
you
agreed
to
submit
to
the
state
many
many
months
ago
is
finally
approved.
That's
been
an
arduous,
permitting
process
with
some
of
the
state
agencies,
particularly
with
coastal
zone
management,
but
I'm
actually
optimistic
that
we
are
going
to
finally
get
state
approval
of
that
plan.
Hopefully
by
this
summer.
G
Another
area
of
my
attention,
in
addition
to
the
waterfront,
is
to
no
surprise
to
this
council,
the
downtown.
So
we've
really
put
a
lot
of
effort
in
trying
to
ensure
that
our
downtown
commercial
corridor
doesn't
suffer
any
long-term
negative
impacts
from
the
pandemic,
and
so
I
I
mentioned
two
housing
projects.
I
think
going
to
help
the
downtown
the
salvation
army
in
361
broadway
they're,
going
to
help
create
that
kind
of
density
and
activity
that
you
need
for
a
vibrant
business
district.
G
So
I
think
that's
a
step
in
the
right
direction,
but
in
addition
to
those
projects,
I
want
the
city
to
and
will
be
advocating
for
the
city
to
do
some
real,
more
direct
investment
in
the
downtown,
so
more
sort
of
investment.
In
the
public
art,
hopefully
with
the
kind
of
impact
that
beautiful
mural
on
fifth
street
has
had,
I
want
to
continue
to
support
and
help
restaurants
do
outdoor
dining
in
the
downtown.
We
want
to
do
some
more
infrastructure
improvements
in
the
downtown,
and
two
of
them
will
happen.
G
This
season
complete
redevelopment
of
the
remaining
area
of
cherry
street
and
the
redevelopment
of
that
section
of
second
street
between
broadway
and
win
a
summit
between
the
two
parks,
we're
going
to
be
redeveloping
that
stretch
of
2nd
street.
And
finally,
I
want
to
invest
in
more
events
in
the
downtown
events
that
will
attract
not
just
developers
but
residents
to
come
and
enjoy
our
downtown.
Now.
G
The
final
area
we're
going
to
focus
on
this
year
for
economic
activity
is,
as
I
said,
that
market
basket
area.
Now
we
all
know
the
new
commuter
rail
station
opened
up
behind
market
basket
in
the
last
couple
of
months.
I'm
hoping
that's
going
to
be
the
impetus
for
some
renewed
developer
interest
in
that
area,
but
there's
two
things
the
city
is
going
to
do
to
try
to
jumpstart
that
so
the
first
is.
G
The
second
thing
I'm
going
to
be
recommended
is
that
we
expand
and
I'll
be
coming
to
the
council
with
a
recommendation
for
this,
that
we
expand
that
new
mixed-use
overlay
district
that
we
just
approved
last
year.
Now,
if
you
remember,
we
created
this
mixed-use
overlay
district
in
that
area,
in
response
to
the
plan
to
everett's
planned
redevelopment
of
that
stop
and
shop
site,
so
stop
and
shop
buildings
coming
down.
G
There's
a
massive
redemption
proposed
on
that
paso,
almost
all
of
which
exist
in
everett,
but
we
wanted
to
try
to
get
some
benefit
out
of
that
development.
So
we
created
this
mixed-use
overlay
district
to
encompass
that
chelsea
piece
of
that
in
some
surrounding
area,
in
the
hope
that
we
might
benefit
now
it
is
a
little
too
early
to
tell
whether
we
will
benefit
from
that.
I
hope
we
do,
but
that
mixed
use
overlay
district
remains
there
and
is
a
good
step.
G
This
year
we
have
a
slightly
different
problem
facing
us
that
I'm
going
to
rely
upon
that
district
to
help
us
try
to
solve-
and
that
is
some
of
you
may
have
heard
of
this.
We
are
now
under
this
new
state
mandate
to
create
a
new
zoning
that
meets
this
housing
choice
regulation,
this
brand
new
regulation
from
the
department
of
housing,
community
development,
that's
applicable
only
to
so-called
mbta
communities.
G
The
penalties
are
that
if
you
don't
meet
this
new
zoning
in
and
around
transit
nodes,
you
are
going
to
be
precluded
from
applying
for
state
capital
grant
opportunities,
the
most
significant
one
of
which
is
the
massworks
grant.
So
we
rely
heavily
on
mass
work.
We've
done
it
all
sorts
of
major
projects
with
massports
in
this
city.
G
Long
before
I
came
the
most
recent
one,
we're
using
mass
works
dollars
to
help
us
with
all
of
the
infrastructure
redevelopment
in
central
and
willow
to
support
the
industry
development
that
grant
will
no
longer
be
available
to
any
community
that
fails
to
meet
this
new
zoning
regulation
and
it's
a
pretty
strict
requirement.
So
for
a
community
like
chelsea,
that
has
rapid
transit
bus
stations
and
that's
what
we
have
the
silver
line
is
a
rapid
transit
bus
line.
G
In
order
to
meet
the
zoning
requirement,
you
need
to
have
a
zoning
district
around
one
of
those
stops
that
allows
housing
by
right
of
15
units
per
acre
and
is
50
acres
in
size.
So
a
zoning
district
has
to
exist,
that's
50
acres
in
size
and
allows
by
right
not
by
special
permanent
variants,
by
right,
15
units,
an
acre
and
believe
it
or
not,
even
in
a
community
that
I
think,
is
as
housing
friendly
as
chelsea
is.
We
do
not
currently
have
a
zoning
district
that
meets
that
requirement.
G
We
have
a
few
zoning
districts
that
allow
15
or
more
eight
units
by
right
per
acre,
but
none
of
them
are
the
size
of
50
acres.
So
to
solve
that
problem.
What
I'm
going
to
propose
to
the
council
is
that
we
expand
this
mixed-use
overlay
district
from
where
it
exists
right
now,
which
is
stop
and
shop
and
that
little
triangle
near
the
high
school
expanded
to
cover
the
market
basket
area,
the
hotel
development
and
those
parcels
that
currently
are
occupied
by
one
north,
nothing
into
the
neighborhoods.
G
Just
where
one
not
sits
the
hotel
area,
the
market
basket
area
that
will
be
50,
plus
acres.
That
will
solve
this
mbta
community
zoning
problem
without
any
significant
impact
on
residential
neighborhoods.
There's
a
myriad
of
ways
you
could
solve
this.
You
could
take
the
r2
district
and
solve
it
there,
but
the
way
to
solve
it,
in
my
opinion,
with
a
minimal
amount
of
impact
on
residents,
is
to
just
expand
that
overlay
district
to
those
commercial
areas
in
and
around
the
new
commuter
rail
station,
and
I
will
be
proposing
that
to
the
council.
G
The
second
benefit
of
that.
I
think
it
will
send
a
good
message
to
those
commercial
owners
in
that
area
that
we're
really
trying
to
encourage
development,
and
I'm
really
hoping
that
something
good
will
come
of
this-
that
we
might
actually
see
some
decent
commercial
development
in
that
commercial
zone
before
the
end
of
2022.
G
I
hope
that's
true
because,
as
I've
said
many
times,
it's
development
and
particularly
commercial
industrial
development
that
offers
sort
of
the
best
hope
of
reducing
the
tax
burden
on
residential
property
owners,
but
still
allow
us
to
thrive
economically
notwithstanding
what
are
real
financial
constraints
imposed
upon
every
community
by
proposition
two
and
a
half
the
final
challenge,
so
we
talked
about
housing.
We
talked
about
economic
development.
The
final
challenges
I
see
is
in
our
school
department.
G
Now
our
relationship
with
the
school
department
honestly
has
never
been
better.
We've
collaborated
with
them
on
pandemic
response
on
vaccines,
on
testing
of
their
students
on
communication
of
of
covert
related
issues,
our
relationship
with
dr
abate,
a
superintendent
beta
and
her
leadership
team
is
outstanding,
and
I
certainly
have
no
qualms
about
the
the
sort
of
academic
things
that
are
going
on
in
that
school
department.
I
have
complete
faith
that
dr
abeda,
her
leadership
team
and
the
school
committee
will
make
decisions
that
are
in
the
best
interest
of
the
the
school
system
in
our
children.
G
It's
the
non-academic
area
where
this
school
department
needs
help.
I
think
where
perhaps
every
school
department
the
whole
nation
needs
help
is
in
the
non-academic
area
of
mental
health
and
behavioral
health
support
the
isolation,
the
stress
the
mental
deterioration
that
has
occurred
been
brought
about
by
this
pandemic.
G
That's
a
crisis
for
all
age
group,
but
it
really
has
been
particularly
acute
among
school-aged
children,
and
this
is
a
place
where
the
city
really
does
need
to
step
in
to
help
our
school
department.
We've
already
done
some
good
work
with
them
in
this
area.
Last
year,
dr
abeda
came
to
the
city
and
asked
us
to
take
part
in
and
help
her
create,
what's
called
this
children's
cabinet
and
that
kind
of
operates
similar
to
the
hub
brings
together
all
these
children
service
providers
on
a
regular
basis
we
meet
about
once
a
month.
G
We
collaborate
on
problems,
we
identify
gaps
that
exist
in
the
service
work
world,
so
we
do
have
the
start.
It's
once
these
gaps
are
identified
and
pri
and
there's
some
priority
to
some
service
models.
That's
where
I
think
the
city
needs
to
step
in
and
help
now.
I
certainly
don't
have
the
specifics
of
how
we're
going
to
help
at
this
point.
I
don't
know
how
you
tackle
this
mental
health
issue.
G
It's
certainly
not
a
problem
with
any
easy
solutions,
but
assuming
that
through
this
children's
cabinet
or
otherwise,
we
are
able
to
come
to
some
consensus
on
some
service
models
that
then
need
some
funding.
I'm
committing
the
city
to
step
in
and
provide
that
funding,
probably
with
opera
dollars.
I
really
do
think
that
behavioral
health
support
is
likely
to
emerge
from
this
resident-led
opera
committee
as
a
high
priority
for
them,
so
that's
sort
of
where
we
stand
at
the
start
of
2022..
I
mentioned
housing.
I
mentioned
economic
development.
I
mentioned
behavioral
health
issues.
G
These
are
by
no
means
new
problems
in
the
city
of
chelsea,
but
they
were
all
exacerbated
by
kovi
and
unfortunately,
kovit
is
here
to
stay,
we're
going
to
have
to
learn
to
live
with
it,
and
it's
going
to
continue
to
present
challenges
to
us.
But
you
know,
conquering
big
challenges
has
sort
of
been
this
city's
narrative
since
it
emerged
from
receivership
over
the
last
two
decades.
G
It
has
successfully
met
all
those
challenges.
I
have
no
doubt
that
this
next
decade
will
be
the
same.
That
working
together
will
meet
all
of
these
challenges,
and
I'm
really
excited
to
be
your
city
manager
over
the
next
two
years
and
work
with
you
to
make
sure
this
city
succeeds
is
makes
progress
and
reaches
its
highest
potential.
Thank
you.

Famed
american
historian,
dr
carter
g
woodson,
established
negro
history
week
to
celebrate
black
history,
accomplishments,
diversity
and
achievements,
and
whereas
carter
g
woodson
valued
education
and
believed
that
it
was
never
too
late
to
learn.
It
is
beneficial
for
all
americans
to
continue
to
learn
about
the
heritage
and
experiences
of
all
americans
and
whereas
it
is
through
learning
that
we
become
enlightened
and
come
to
understand
each
other
more
clearly,
whereas
black
history
month
allows
for
discussions
of
our
country's
legacy
and
slavery,
institutional
and
structural
racism.
C
And
whereas
this
year's
theme
for
2022
black
history
month
is
black
health
and
wellness.
And
we
are
honoring.
Mr
juan
gallego,
a
miss
rachelle
cromwell,
miss
nicole
mccoy,
miss
laurie
moore,
mr
barbara
smith
and
ms
sarah
almond
for
their
leadership
in
advocating
for
mental
health
and
wellness
and
now
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
chelsea
city
council
hereby
recognizes
february
as
black
history
month,
black
family
leadership
and
service.
D
Adopters
unanimously
under
suspension,
I'd
just
like
to
congratulate
all
the
recipients
for
their
tireless
work
within
our
community
working
to
make
our
community
a
much
better
community,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
But
I'd
like
to
recognize
mr
paul
smith,
who's
been
very
active
in
our
community
for
a
lot
of
years.
I
won't
say
how
old
he
is,
but
he's
been
doing
it
for
a
long
time.
D
The
other
person
I
like
to
single
out,
as
we
all
know
how
easy
it
is
for
us
to
go
to
the
kitchen
and
turn
on
the
water
faucet
and
get
some
water
juan
gallego
for
the
past.
Several
years
has
been
digging
wells
in
colombia
to
provide
water
assistance
for
people
who
cannot
get
to
areas
where
they're
able
to
seek
water.
So
I'd
like
to
congratulate
juan
on
the
work
that
he
does
and
he
raises
a
lot
of
money
for
for
this
to
happen,
I
just
wanted
to
be
able
to
say
that.
F
F
F
I
commend
you
for
all
you
do.
I
commend
you
for
all
those
educational
sessions
that
you
held
during
the
pandemic,
to
educate
our
people
to
go
out
there
and
get
vaccinated
the
sort
of
community
and
the
way
you
hugged
our
community,
to
educate
us
and
to
get
us
informed
and
to
get
us
out
there
and
to
stand
there
in
the
cold
and
inform
people
and
answer
questions.
That
is
something
that
is
beautiful,
and
that
is
just
one
reflection
of
your
years
and
years
of
service.
So
I
do
agree
with
that.
F
This
month
is
about
black
history
month.
It's
about
the
black
family,
it's
about
leadership,
it's
about
service
and
you
showcase
that
in
every
single
way.
So
I
commend
all
of
you.
I
congratulate
our
trailblazers,
but
I
commend
our
black
history
month
to
you
guys
for
making
it
possible
and
for
really
teaching
us
the
lesson
of
what
it
is
to
serve
and
to
serve
with
love.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I
too
wanted
to
echo
the
sentiments
of
my
sister
counselor.
I
have
seen
joan
cromwell.
You
know
we.
We
see
leaders
constantly
on
social
media
on
the
news
and
pictures,
but
it's
the
leaders
that
are
behind
the
scenes
that
are
actually
actually
making
more
leaders
that
are
the
ones
that
often
go
unnoticed,
and
I
see
joan
cromwell,
constantly
advocating
and
pushing
and
making
sure
and
and
talk
about,
the
real
issues
that
exist
in
this
community.
H
H
H
I
want
to
support,
and
so
I
called
john
I
was
like
look
hwang,
that's
leadership,
people
who
are
going
to
show
up
not
because
they're
being
asked
to
not
because
the
cameras
are
on,
but
when
no
one
is
looking
rachelle
cromwell
and
her
husband,
who
sits
right
next
to
her
and
I'm
just
going
to
talk
about
sarah
armand
at
the
same
time,
because
I
don't
want
to
make
this
sad.
But
when
you
live
in
intersection,
you
celebrate
transition.
So
it's
okay.
I
had
a
niece
that
was
murdered.
H
Last
august,
right
in
on
garfield
street
in
front
of
the
armin
house
and
close
to
michelle
michelle's
home
and
I
was
out,
I
was
in
ohio
seeking
medical
care
and
I
drove
back
because
you
know
for
services,
and
I
remember
parking
a
chair
could
barely
walk.
I
parked
a
chair
right
in
front
of
the
memorial
that
sits
right
in
front
of
the
armament
household
and
rachelle,
coming
out
with
her
husband
and
talking
to
me
and
crying
with
me
and
talking
about
what
their
experience
was
when
they
encountered
that
brutal
scene
that
night
that's
community.
H
I
can't
even
put
into
words
how
many
times
when
we
go
out
there
to
mourn
at
the
memorial
of
my
niece,
how
many
times
they've
come
out
and
brought
us
water.
Sarah
has
even
given
me
the
code
to
her
home,
so
I
can
go
inside
and
use
that
is
the
community
that
I
am
talking
about.
They
these
folks
right
here,
have
come
out
and
cried
with
my
family.
I
didn't
experience
anything
alone.
H
My
family
didn't
experience
anything
alone
because
we
are
a
community,
and
so
I
just
really
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
chelsea
black
community
period
for
the
way
that
you
all
show
up
in
this
community
when
community
leaders
don't
even
show
up
to
your
events
and
y'all,
keep
trucking
and
then
there's
an
issue
and
you
guys
keep
on
trucking.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
for
your
leadership.
Thank
you
all
for
how
you
show
up
when
the
cameras
aren't
on.
Thank
you
so
so
so
so
much
for
leading
by
example.
I
Everyone,
each
year
we
celebrate
black
history
month
this
year,
it's
no
different,
the
other.
We
have
celebrated
the
heroes.
Those
honorees
tonight
are
being
recognized
for
their
work
in
their
spirit
of
keeping
black
history
alive
and
the
work
that
black
history
celebrates
and
demonstrate.
So
I
just
want
to
congratulate
you
all.
I
want
to
congratulate
my
good
friend,
laura
and
again,
as
some
of
the
speakers
said,
it's
true.
A
lot
of
these
folks
is
being
recognized
tonight.
A
lot
of
these
folks
is
being
receiving.
I
B
I'm
seeing
no
other
comments
at
this
moment.
I
will
ask
that
we
will
be
suspending
the
meeting
so
that
the
council
robertson
can
present
the
differing
recognitions,
the
the
certificates
to
the
awardees
and
will
allow
for
picture
taking.
So
let
I'll
let
council
brown
just
name
everything
and
what
the
each
certificate
says.

Pride
football
was
first
started
in
2008.
since
then
chelsea
pride,
football
is
a
member
of
the
northeast
commonwealth,
youth,
football
and
cheer
league
chelsea
pride.
Football
is
led
by
by
president
lou
centina
and
vice
president
sean
o'reagan
and
board
of
directors
with
no
football
in
2020
due
to
the
pandemic,
leadership
decided
to
offer
free
registration
to
its
to
its
players.
During
the
hard
times
of
the
2021
season,
chelsea
pride
football
has
a
total
of
16
coaches
for
four
teams,
and
those
four
teams
have
had
a
total
of
70
players.
Who've
had
a
great
season.
B
At
their
annual
banquet
chelsea
pride
football
presented,
the
martin
scott
sportsmanship
award
to
two
chelsea
pride
football
players.
The
martin
sportsmanship
award
is
dedicated
to
martin
scott,
a
great
guy,
who
was
always
there
cheering
on
every
player
and
was
chelsea
pride's
chelsea
pro
football's
biggest
fan
chelsea

Football
up
also
presented
the
darren
moore
coaches
award
to
the
7th
and
8th
grade
player
for
showing
leadership,
dedication
and
strong
work
ethic.
This
award
is
in
memory
of
darren
moore,
who
is
a
coach
for
the
7th
and
8th
grade
team.
B
Each
team
practices
three
times
a
week
before
the
season
starts:
chelsea
pride
football
conducts
corey
backgrounds
on
all
coaches
to
ensure
that
and
satisfy
that
to
ensure
the
safety
of
the
children
chelsea
pride.
Football
is
a
great
based
league
that
offers
flag
football
for
first
and
second
greatest
tackle
football
for
third
through
eighth
graders.
B
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
we,
the
members
of
the
chelsea
city
council,
on
behalf
of
the
residents
of
the
city
of
chelsea,
wish
to
go
on
record
so
as
to
recognize
the
hard
work
and
dedication
that
the
coaches,
the
board
of
directors
put
in
each
and
every
year,
in
order
to
make
chelsea
pride
football.
The
program,
the
success
that
it
is
once
again,
congratulations
and
continued
success,
introduced
by
council,
leah,
robinson
and
all
members
of
the
city
council,
councilor
robertson,.
D
D
I
support
her
because
I
believe
in
prevention.
I
believe
that
the
kids
are
busy
doing
activities
that's
less
time
for
them
to
be
able
to
get
into
things
that
they
shouldn't
be
getting
into
being
a
former
athlete.
I
know
what
it
takes
about
playing
and
about
caring
for
your
body
and
making
sure
that
you're
doing
the
right
thing
at
all
times.
D
I
I
want
to
congratulate
the
maker
of
the
motion
for
this
resolution,
but
I
want
to
congratulate
the
guys
who
do
the
work.
The
two
brother
o'regan
brothers-
and
I
know
you
mentioned
the
other
player
here,
but
one
person
you
don't
mention
here
is
michael
lopez,
who
has
been
a
big
supporter
of
this
program
from
day
one
and
worked
with
those
two
brothers
and
every
event
that
I
go
to.
I
see
all
three
of
them
if
it's
not
four
of
them
with
the
young
man
has
mentioned
here.
I
A
few
years
ago,
when
the
other
program
kind
of
went
under
this
program
emerged
and
they
worked
and
they
worked
and
they've
been
out
there.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
dedication.
Thank
you
for
your
service.
I
know
they
do
all
types
of
small
events.
They
don't
look
for
recognition,
but
they
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
kids
have
a
nice
safe
place
to
go
and
practice.
Football
learn
a
game
of
football
and
keep
the
young
men
and
women
in
a
right
perspective
and
a
positive
surroundings.
I
K
K
F
Thank
you,
mr
president.
So
I
will
say
you
know,
I
don't
know
what
it's
like
to
be
a
mom
and
I
don't
know
what
it's
like
to
send
a
kid
off
to
to
play
and
watch
from
the
stands.
But
I
can
say
that
I,
I
know
the
value
of
sports
in
our
community
and
I
know-
and
I
also
want
to
commend
you
all
for
the
emotional
investment
that
you
put
into
this,
because
it's
not
only
coaching
kids,
it's
mentoring
them
as
well.
F
It's
also
putting
an
emotional
investment
to
to
listen
to
them
and
their
needs
off
the
field.
So
I
commend
you
for
for
the
work
that
you
do
that
you've
been
doing
for
years
in
our
community,
and
I
am
sure-
and
I
have
no
doubt-
that
there
will
be
a
star
one
day
who
will
make
it
at
some
point
to
the
nfl
or
one
of
these
big
league
games
and
and
and
hopefully
it's
it's
one
of
our
own
is
one
from
chelsea.
F
L
So
I
can't
climb
up
and
down
right
now,
they're
hurting
me,
but
I
would
like
to
say
thank
you
for
what
you
do.
I
know
my
children
and
grandchildren,
as
you
know
very
well,
knowing
my
son
they're,
all
coached
they're,
all
part
of
it.
My
granddaughters
are
cheerleaders
and
for
a
little
while
you
couldn't
practice
in
chelsea,
you
didn't
even
have
a
team
in
chelsea.
Is
your
team
back
in
chelsea?
Now?
Are
you
back
here?
Is
there
any
anything?
Any
of
us
can
do
you
know?
I
know
there
is
a
fund.
That's
there
for
use.
L
If
you
need
it,
you
can
get
it
it's
there
for
all
the
teams
of
chelsea.
I
don't
know
how
much
they
utilize
this
fund,
but
it's
there,
and
I
hope
that
you
can
go
and
get
some
to
give
some
of
the
children
that
I
would
use
or
even
the
cheerleaders
which
are
part
of
use.
I
don't
know
that
your
cheerleaders
go
to
college.
L
L
No
okay,
I'm
I'm
not
sure
if
your
cheerleaders
went
to
florida,
but
I
know
that
some
cheerleaders
went
to
florida
and
I
don't
know
if
they
were
from
pride.
But
I
hope
that
whatever
you
need
and
whatever
us
counselors
can
do
for
use
it's
a
good
thing,
because
you
try
to
help
the
community
and
the
children
without
the
children
of
our
community
to
have
something
to
do.
There's
really
and
what
you
do
is
a
good
thing.
J
Those
kids
really
learn
about
teamwork
and
about
teammates
and
about
winning
and
losing
you
know
it's
it's
it's
important
for
kids
to
to
know
how
to
lose
too.
You
know
it
really
builds,
builds
character
and
tries
to
you
know,
prepare
them
for
life,
but
you
guys
do
a
great
job
and
you
can
always
count
on
us
to
help
whatever
you
guys
need.
All
you
got
to
do
is
call
and
ask.
Thank
you.
B
B
There
really
isn't
a
fund
that
is
under
city
control,
but
tonight
there
will
be
legislation
that
I'm
important
you
know
putting
on
to
the
agenda
and
it's
a
mitigation
fund,
and
I
stipulated
that
in
a
subcommittee
meeting.
Other
communities
have
this
sort
of
fund
and
then
it
sometimes
goes
to
sports
programming.
So
the
counselors
or
the
council
can
give
back
to
these
very
same
programs
that
are
outside
of
you
know
another
avenue.
B
D
Judith
garcia
mentioned
about
an
athletes
being
able
to
go
on
to
the
next
level.
Actually
one
sunday
morning,
while
I
was
down
watching
the
game,
it
was
a
young
man.
A
very
little
little
boy
who
was
to
me
was
outstanding,
was
very
fast
running
back
and
forth
up
and
down.
It
happened
to
be
melinda's
son.
I
had
no
idea
who
it
was
and
I
was
standing
on
the
sidelines
and
I
said
who
is
that
kid?
B
B
At
this
time,
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
time
on
the
agenda.
We
will
open
up
the
public
hearing.
This
is
a
public
hearing
to
discuss
the
proposed
eminent
domain,
temporary
easement,
taking
on
broadway
a
copy
of
the
homeroom
petition
can
be
found
at
chelsea
city
office,
500,
broadway,
room,
306,
chelsea
mass
or
you
may
email,
f,
m
e
l,
a
r,
a
f
molera
chelsea
m,
a
dot
gov
for
electronic
copy.
So
if
there's
anyone
here
tonight
that
would
like
to
speak
in
favor
or
rather
on
the
proposed
eminent
domain.
G
Thank
you,
mr
president,
thomas
ambrosino
city
manager,
I'm
have
advocate
for
the
votes
necessary
for
this
eminent
domain
taking
and
for
the
appropriation
votes
necessary
to
provide
the
funding
for
it.
So
we
did
have
this
subcommittee
meeting
last
week
where
we
talked
at
length
about
the
details
behind
this,
but
basically
this
is
takings
required
for
the
reconstruction
of
upper
broadway
from
city
hall,
on
up
to
the
revere
line
and
for
the
most
part,
these
are
sort
of
insignificant
inconveniences
to
residents.
They
fall
into
two
categories:
there
are
nine
permanent
easements
we're
taking.
G
The
second,
in
the
larger
majority
of
these
are
temporary
easements,
more,
like
short-term
leases
to
pay
people
for
the
inconvenience
that
the
workmen
are
going
to
have
to
access
the
edge
of
their
property.
Mostly,
this
is
so
that
the
workmen
on
the
project
can
ensure
there's
a
smooth
transition
between
the
edge
of
our
project,
which
is
usually
the
end
of
sidewalk
and
their
property
line.
So
a
typical
situation
is,
someone
has
a
driveway
and
it's
intersecting
with
the
sidewalk,
our
workmen.
G
The
contractor
has
to
ensure
that
there's
a
smooth
transition
between
that
driveway
and
the
sidewalk.
Sometimes
that
will
require
a
little
tiny
bit
of
work
at
the
edge
of
side
at
the
edge
of
driveway
and
the
workmen
need
to
be
standing
on
their
property
and
doing
work
on
their
property,
so
we're
paying
people
for
the
temporary
nature
of
this
intrusion
on
the
edge
of
property.
G
So
I'm
recommending
that
this
is
necessary.
These
are
necessary
votes.
In
order
for
this
substantial
federal
funding
to
be
available,
we're
getting
in
excess
of
10
million
dollars
from
the
federal
government
to
do
this
work,
and
so
I'm
asking
for
the
council
to
proceed
with
this.
It
is
a
necessary
precondition
before
the
state
can
go
out
to
bid
on
this
project.
So
there
are
actually
five
votes
that
you
need
to
take
at
the
end
of
the
day.
G
G
So
it's
the
order
of
taking
approving
that
and
then
it's
the
four
appropriation
votes
so
that
we
have
the
money.
The
sum
total
that
we're
paying
everyone
in
the
whole
corridor
is
a
total
of
and
twelve
dollars.
Most
individual
property
owners
are
getting
relatively
small
payments,
because
the
intrusion
on
their
property
is
relatively.
M
B
B
B
Council
rideau
asked
that
we
approve
both
items,
regular
schedule
meeting
and
that
of
the
joint
special
joint
meeting
meeting
minutes
on
february
7th
under
suspension.
Seeing
no
objection,
we
have
a
communication
from
the
received
from
the
city
manager
regarding
the
notice
of
waiver
for
jody
robinson
console
robinson.

A
city
manager
the
information
on
the
stop
to
spread
covert
testing.
Dear
counselors.
I
am
writing
in
response.
The
recent
global
city
council
order
requesting
information
on
a
number
of
chelsea
residents
tested
at
the
stop
to
spread
covert
19
testing
sites.
Commonwealth
of
massachusetts
is
supporting
two
main
stop-to-spread
sites
in
the
city
of
chelsea,
the
one
operated
by
the
transformative
health
care,
the
currently
occupied
st
rose
foyer
area
and
the
drive-through
site
at
beth
israel.
B
The
city
coordinates
with
the
commonwealth
on
a
transformative
healthcare
operation,
but
has
no
direct
involvement
with
the
beth
israel
operation,
both
transformative
and
beth.
Israel
have
provided
information
to
the
city
regarding
the
breakdown
of
testing
by
residential
address.
In
each
case,
the
reporting
dates
back
to
the
early
december.
B
At
the
start
of
the
omar
crown
surge
at
the
saint
rose
walk-up
site,
there
was
a
total
of
4
336
chelsea
residents
out
of
9671
individuals
tested
during
that
time
frame
or
44.8
percent
at
the
beth
israel
site,
10
900
were
tested
with
2
301
or
21
having
chelsea
resident.
I
hope
this
is
helpful.
Council
robinson.
B
B
Console
robinson
asked
that
we
accept
them
filed
under
suspension
with
a
wavering
of
the
reading
under
suspension,
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
communication.
We
have
a
notice
of
waiver
from
the
city
manager
with
an
intent
for
mikela
raymond
mikela,
so
their
counselors
pursuant
to
the
administrative
code.
I
am
writing
to
notify
you
of
the
attention
to
how
you
miss
michaela
raymond
226,
judge,
road
lynn,
massachusetts
for
the
position
of
full-time
e-911
dispatcher
and
to
grant
her
a
waiver
from
the
residency
requirement
set
forth
in
the
administrative
code.
B
C
B
L
B
B
So
their
counselor
is
personal,
intuitive
charter
of
the
city
of
chelsea.
I'm
writing
to
recommend
the
following
individuals
to
the
boards
and
commissions
in
the
city
for
border
health:
miss
karina
kulla,
55
eleanor
street
for
reappointment
to
the
elder
affairs,
mr
jamie
santos,
14
bloomingdale

for
reappointment
to
the
licensing
commission.
Emily
cherniak
183
congress
have
number
two
for
planning
board:
william
tuck
willis
88
marginal
street
for
the
appointment
to
the
planning
board.
B
C
We
have
a
copy
of
a
communication
from
the
city
manager,
the
kaplan
improvement
plan,
fy
23
fy
27.,
their
counselors.
Pursuant
to
my
obligation
under
section
5-4
of
the
chelsea
city
charter,
I
hereby
submit
to
you
my
proposed
capital
improvement
plan
for
fiscal
years.
2023-2027,
the
enclosed
clap
capital
improvement
plan
continues
the
city's
commitment
to
utilize
our
reserves
and
fiscal
spread
for
the
purpose
of
enhancing
the
quality
of
life
in
our
city.
The
proposed
total
investment
for
fy
23
is
in
excess
of
24
million.
C
C
As
I
have
previously
mentioned,
it
is
my
goal
to
allocate
significant
opera
funding
to
capital
projects.
The
allocation
for
fy23
is
12.3
million.
Another
6.6
million
in
opera
funding
is
proposed
for
the
ensuing
years,
mostly
for
the
improvement
of
school
department
athletic
fields
in
accordance
with
the
charter
requirements.
I
ask
that
the
city
council
move
this
capital
improvement
plan
to
a
public
hearing
following
that
hearing
and
the
council's
final
determination
on
this
plan
that
will
prepare
a
recommended
order
for
implementation
of
the
fy
23
proposals.
D
B
None
there
will
be
schedules
for
a
subcommittee
hearing
with
the
city
manager
and
relevant
staff.
Also,
we
will
have
a
public
hearing
and
it
is
moved
to
a
second
reading.
We
have
a
next
item
on
our
agenda.
Is
a
communication
received
from
resident
roy
bloom
regarding
repeating
incidents
with
semi-trainers
on
beacon
street?
B
It
reads:
it's
an
email
and
it
states
hello,
I'm
a
resident
of
chelsea
since
2020
and
serve
as
a
trustee
of
our
condominium
building
at
131,
133
beacon
street.
I'm
also
a
harvard
genomics
scientist
and
work
at
mgh.
Despite
many
repeating
accidents,
we
reported
in
the
past
beacon
street
has
been
and
still
is,
a
lawless
pass
for
semi-trailers
and
big
trucks
that
make
their
way
to
the
nearby
everett
industrial
zone.
E
F
For
the
purposes
of
our
colleagues,
the
communication
that
you
received,
it
was
from
a
a
constituent
who
also
was
backed
by
30
other
residents
of
the
area
they
are
seeking
for
signage,
that
is
clear,
visible
with
lights,
to
be
placed
in
key
areas
to
avoid
semi
trucks
from
from
trespassing
property.
Unfortunately,
this
had
horrible
impacts
on
their
property.
This
was
something
that
it
was
addressed.
It
was
brought
to
the
traffic
parking
commission,
jeanette
cintron,
our
city
clerk
handled
it,
and
they
should
be
having
these
new
signs
in
the
next
two
weeks.
B
B
This
was
introduced
at
our
last
january
10th
meeting
and
we
are
now
voting
on
the
following
individuals
for
community
recreation,
advisory
committee,
miss
cave
melissa,
covino,
15
lewis,

for
appointment
to
the
youth
commission,
miss
emily
manjavar

and
miss

for
eldritch

for

and
for
the
appointment
to

counselor

D
B
Our
next

C
Of
judah,
garcia
after
nine
in
favor
not
opposed
to
have
some
motion
adopted
on
both
items.
That's
it
for
second
readings.
Mr
chairman,
we'll
now
move
on
to
new
business
first
ought
to
run
the
new
business
order
introduced
by
council
of
the
nato.
I
did
that
the
city
manager
request
the
mbta
to
have
a
community
meeting
in
chelsea
to
discuss,
alerting
the
mbta
number
117
bus
route
to
travel
through
crescent
avenue
and
clinton

B
Floor,
mr
president,
thank
you,
mr
vice
president.
So
one
of
the
matters
that
had
come
up
during
the
discussion
of
the
forbes
project
was
the
possibility
that
there
was
going
to
be
as
part
of
mitigation.
Maybe
some
sort
of
mitigation
to
limit
the
impact
of
traffic
in
that
area
was
the
project
developers
were
going
to
have
some
sort
of
shuttle
service,
but
what
that
discussion
led,
or
at
least
to
me,
was
the
awareness
that
that
whole
corner
of
chelsea
does
not
have
any
sort
of
nearby
public
transportation.
Bus
stops.
B
The
117
and
the
116
as
far
as
chelsea
goes
are
duplicative
in
their
route.
They
enter
from
meridian
street
rundown
park
to
hawthorne
to
bellingham
square
and
then
straight
shot
down
broadway
and
only
in
revere.
Does
the
116
and
117
then
have
two
different
routes,
but
the
116
and
117
here
in
chelsea
are
basically
identical.
B
Why
I
picked
the
117
buses,
because
that
is
the
one
that
is
the
one
in
revere
takes
the
closest
right,
and
this
is
the
fastest
one
to
wonderland,
and
so
the
idea
being
that,
if
you
are
coming
from
east
boston
and
once
you
pass
saint
rose,
that
the
117
bus
could
possibly
take
a
right
down.
Crescent
half
follow
crescent
ave.
B
B
B
B
I
need
to
have
this
discussion
now
and
I
think
we
should
have
this
conversation
to
see
if
the
makes,
I
think
the
most
perfect
sense
just
to
see
if
they
can
have
an
alternate
bus
route
there
there's
not
another
part
of
the
city
that
does
not
have
bus
service.
Admiral
hill
has
a
bus.
Yes,
we
complain
about
the
frequency,
but
at
least
they
have
a
bus.
B
Central
ave
has
a
bus,
so
I
think
that
it
would
just
help
the
this
that
corner
of
city
of
chelsea
to
see
if
we
can't
make
one
little
adjustment
to
that
that
bus
route
and
see
if
we
can't
get
a
couple
of
stops
there
and
it
would
be
either
equal
or
less
than
to
the
current
stops
that
they
already
have
on
broadway,
so
the
speed
would
not
be
any
different,
but
again,
I
hope
we
can
have
a
discussion
about
this,
and
maybe
we
can
bring
some
much
needed
bus
transportation
service
to
that
area.
Thank
you.
B
I
F
You,
mr
chairman,
I
will
say
this
is
a
brilliant
request
and
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
appetite
for
this
conversation
to
happen.
I
know
that
green
roots
actually
hosted
over
the
weekend
a
focus
group
with
chelsea
residents
to
have
discussions
around
public
transportation
and
mbta
and
bus
routes.
I
think
that
what
I
I
look
forward
to
to
hearing
and
and
seeing
this
happen,
we're
not
asking
it
doesn't
sound
like
the
counselor
is
asking
to
reinvent
the
wheel.
This
is
a
a
bus
route
that
has
existed
here
for
years.
F
What
we're
talking
and
the
underlying
issue
that
I'm
hearing
is
accessibility,
let's
make
our
transportation
accessible
in
our
community.
This
is
not
too
much
to
ask
for
chelsea
is
a
1.89
square
mile
community
making
these
transitions-
and
these
shifts
is
about
giving
access
to
folks,
and
I
definitely
look
forward
to
expanding
this
conversation
and
bringing
other
groups
in.
I
know
that
this
is
the
time
to
do
it.
There
was
a
focus
group
created
over
the
weekend.
There
was
a
good
turnout
that
green
roads
had.
F
I
C
B
Thank
you,
mr
vice
president.
Again
it
was
I'm
co-writing
this
only
because
originally
the
district
councilor
tonighty
garcia
was
going
to
introduce
it.
She
asked
me,
you
know
one
of
those
normal,
I'm
a
newbie.
How
do
you
do
this
and
I
explained
it
to
her,
but
then
she
had
to
go
and
she's
travel,
and
so
I
said
that
I
would
just
carry
the
water
for
her
and
introduce
it
with
her
her
her.
B
There
is
no
crosswalk
at
that
location,
and
so
at
that
corner,
she's
looking
to
have
a
crosswalk
painted
there,
so
that
they
can
safely
cross
and
there's
probably
is
going
to
be
more
than
just
painting
a
crosswalk.
That's
probably
going
to
need
some
sort
of
sidewalk
work
that
needs
to
be
done
there,
but
I
hope
to
present
this
or
again
send
this
to
the
dbw
and
then
maybe
I
don't
again.
I
don't
know
if
this
goes
to
traffic
and
commissions.
B
I
C
Council
tenerife
garcia
request
that
the
city
manager
look
into
any
legal
action
that
the
city
might
have
in
pursuing
a
reduction
of
the
overall
cost
of
construction
for
the
new
northeast
metropolitan
regional
vocational
high
school.
To
make
the
debt
service
equitable
among
all
12
cities,
and
improve
the
admissions
process.
F
You,
mr
chairman,
so
you
guys
know
the
issues
with
this
and
I'm
glad
that
you
know
I
don't
have
to
convince
the
counselors
here.
We
we
presented
ourselves
as
a
full
body,
not
only
as
a
as
a
city
council,
but
also
school
committee
members,
superintendent,
tom
bracino.
We
knew
before
that
special
election
took
place
in
january
that
we
were
not
in
favor
of
this
expensive
northeast
project.
F
It
costs
a
lot
for
a
city
and
it's
going
to
create
a
predicament
for
our
community
for
the
next
30
years,
so
the
vote
happened,
chelsea
voted
against
it
and
the
other
11
communities,
with
the
exception
of
saugus,
voted
in
favor
of
it.
So
now
we
are
liable
and
we
need
to
pay
for
this,
but
this
request
is
a
simple
request
for
the
public
that
is
out
there
listening.
F
The
request
is
to
ask
the
city
manager
to
look
and
and
come
back
to
us
with
with
writing
of
what
are
some
of
those
legal
actions
that
we
can
take
to
tackle
any
of
these
three
issues.
Either
it
being
lowering
the
cost
of
that
construction,
either
it
being
making
the
debt
service
more
equitable,
which
is
something
that
you
know
we
all
agreed
on
that
we
figured
you
know
it
needs
to
be
more
equitable
and
if
there's
anything
legally,
we
could
be
doing
to
improve
the
admissions
process.
F
So
I
look
forward
to
to
seeing
what
the
city
manager
comes
up
with
in
terms
of
what
legal
action
we
can
be
taken
and
if
there
is
any
legal
avenue
that
we
can
take,
I
hope
that
all
of
us,
as
a
full
body
can
come
together
and
co-sponsor
that
and
support
that.
If
that
were
to
be
the
case
or
if
it's
even
feasible
again,
we
don't
know
what's
feasible
or
what
is
not.
F
I
K
I
K
Is
something
that
we
definitely
need
to
look
into
and
something
that
I
do
want
to
speak
on
in
terms
of
the
admissions
process
and
the
reason
why
I
want
to
highlight
this
is
because
I
have
received
phone
calls
of
constituents
and
parents
saying
that
it
is
challenging
for
them
to
get
their
children
in
when
they're,
not
an
amb
student,
and
being
that
this
is
a
vocational
school.
I
I
feel
like
we.
K
We
need
to
do
better
to
ensure
that
students
that
can
benefit
from
you
know
the
technical
programs
that
they
provide,
that
they
have
the
ability
to
go
there,
and
so
I
think
it's
extremely
important
that
we
are
equitable
in
our
admissions
process.
Especially
you
know.
If
we're
going
to
pay
for
this
school,
we
need
to
ensure
that
our
youth
that
will
benefit
the
most
of
going
into
the
school,
have
the
ability
to
get
in
just
you
know
like
in
the
door
for
lumeno.
K
You
know-
and
so
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
because
this
is
something
extremely
extremely
important
to
me,
not
only
as
a
city
counselor,
but
you
know
as
a
mother
and
and
this
is
probably
something
that
I
I'm
gonna
look
forward
to,
or
you
know
conversations
with
my
children
long
term.
So
this
is
an
issue
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
Asap.
K
E
K
I
H
I
haven't
really
been
involved
with
this
process,
but
I
do
want
to
commend
my
sister
counselors
for
taking
the
initiative
to
talk
about
this.
I
actually
went
to
northeast
and
it
was
just
as
hard
back
then
to
get
into
the
school,
and
it
is
something
that
we
we
often
do
see.
So
I
do
think
it's
important
so
long.
H
I
C
L
For
years,
we
have
this
fund
that
allows
high
school
students
to
go
to
college,
but
yet
I've
been
here
many
years,
I
don't
know
how
this
function
works
and
I
don't
know
I've.
Personally,
I
know
people
they
wanted
to
go
to
college,
but
couldn't
go
to
bunker
hill
because
supposedly
they
didn't
meet
the
qualifications.
L
This
fund
is
to
help
anybody.
Anybody
that
wants
to
go
from
the
school.
What
if
a
child
doesn't
meet
all
a's
and
it's
b,
so
he
should
be
discriminated
against
and
not
be
allowed
to
go
to
college
because
of
it.
I
want
to
know
exactly
how
this
works
and
how
they
choose
who
chooses
who
goes
to
college.
L
L
The
only
reason
why
I
brought
this
up,
because
somebody
brought
it
up
to
me
and
asked
me
they
would
like
to
go
to
college
and
they
were
denied
to
go
to
college,
and
there
was
someone
that
was
in
a
reach
program,
so
that
person
wanted
to
go
to
college
and
couldn't
go
because
he
said
he
didn't
qualify.
So
we
made
this
fun
for
any
student
that
wishes
to
go
to
graduates
high
school.
That
was
the
whole
purpose
of
it.
L
To
allow
any
student,
you
shouldn't
be
choosing
like
people
to
go
to
reach
okay
they're,
not
as
the
same
level
as
the
other
ones,
but
if
they
wish
to
go
to
school,
they
should
be
allowed
to
go
to
college.
They
shouldn't
be
denied.
This
fund
was
particularly
made,
especially
for
any
student
of
the
city
that
wanted
to
go
to
school.
L
They
couldn't
afford
it,
so
it
shouldn't
be
denied
that
he
can't
go
to
school
because
he's
in
a
reach
program
or
because
he's
in
a
program
that
doesn't,
I
want
to
know
exactly
how
it
works,
how
they
determine
who
goes.
I
think
it's
fair
that
all
of
us
should
know
exactly
how
it
works
and
this
fund,
I'm
going
back
to
the
same
thing,
was
done
to
help
the
children
of
our
city,
so
every
child
of
our
city
matter
everyone,
so
everyone
should
have
the
same
opportunity.
I
G
G
We
have
left
to
the
school
department
how
best
to
administer
it.
My
understanding
is,
there
are
some
criteria
they
require.
I
think
it
is
that
you
start
taking
some
early
college
courses
with
bunker
hill
before
you
graduate,
and
there
is
some
minimum
standards
for
how
well
you
do
in
those
courses.
I
don't
think
you
need
to
get
an
a,
but
there
are
some
minimum
requirements
as
to
what
you
need
to
do.
You
start
with
these
early
college
courses
in
bunker
hill,
and
if
you
meet
their
requirements,
then
you
are
eligible
for
this
scholarship.
G
G
I
don't
think
there's
any
problem
with
having
representatives
from
the
school
department
come
up
at
a
subcommittee
and
explain
to
the
city
council
exactly
what
those
requirements
are,
because
we
will
be
again
like
we
have
done
for
the
last
three
springs,
asking
to
provide
more
money
so
that
the
graduating
class
from
2022
can
take
part
in
this
program,
and
this
is
costing
us
roughly
about
300
000
a
year.
God
bless
you,
which
I
usually
recommend
in
a
free
cash
appropriation
and
that'll,
be
the
same.
This
year.
G
G
M
H
L
I
And
keep
it
and
keep
in
mind,
we
have
a
delegation,
a
member
for
this
school
committee
on
our
body.
We
can
actually
send
requests
also
to
get
all
this
information.
That's
why
we
have
this
person
on
our
city
council,
so
we
can
find
out
things
that
we
need
to
know
about
that.
Just
for
a
point
of
clarity,
okay!
Yes,
anybody
else
have
anything
to
stay
on
this
order.
Okay,
so
it
goes
to
conference
and.
C
C
F
C
B
I
F
C
B
C
But
okay,
but
you
want
to
send
it
to
the
subcommittee
and
the
public
hearing.
Also
that's
correct,
whereas
the
city
council
recognizes
the
large
planned
or
special
permit.
Development
projects
can
have
both
positive
and
negative
impacts
on
the
community
and
whereas
an
established
body
of
law
supports
a
municipality's
right
to
require
monetary
contributions
in
connection
with
commercial
and
or
residential
development,
including
conditioning
and
development
permit
upon
the
payment
of
such
contributions,
when
a
reasonable
relationship
can
be
demonstrated
between
the
required
fee
and
the
government's
legitimate
purpose.
C
And
whereas
the
city
council
considers
both
the
impacts
and
needs
of
the
immediate
area,
as
well
as
the
royal
chelsea.
Whereas
city
council,
as
chelsea's
duly
elected
legislative
body,
is
responsible
in
both
identifying
the
impacts
and
determining
the
appropriate
mitigation.
And
whereas
the
city
council
orders
that
the
determination
efforts
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.
H
A
B
E
B
E
B
B
B
You
know
in
discussions
there
and
then
it
gets
somehow
wrapped
up
into
a
conditions.
You
know
agreement
with
the
as
part
of
the
special
permit,
but
that's
not
really.
I
think
the
light
of
day
and
I
tried
to
put
something
in
the
charter
but
was
told
that
legally,
it
was
not
possible
and
at
least
through
the
charter,
and
when
I
introduced
the
order,
it
was
still
the
same
thing
and
we
had
a
meeting
last
fall
and
the
city
manager
in
order
to
assist
my
concerns
addressed
them
said.
Look
there
is
a
method.
B
B
B
That's
my
my
my
only
issue
with
it,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
I
just
want
to
get
something
done,
and
it
may
not
be
perfect,
but
the
fact
is,
it
is
what
other
communities
are
doing
and
the
the
city
manager
doesn't
have
the
power
anymore
to
try
to.
As
he
said,
look
I
don't
want
to
sit
with
a
developer
and
try
to
negotiate
the
best
deal,
and
I
give
one
guy
one
thing:
another
guy
something
different.
This
makes
it
very
easy
for
my
job.
B
If
there's
any
lobbying,
that's
going
to
be
done.
This
is
where
it's
done
and
we
are
held
accountable
for
our
votes
and
we
are,
I
think,
the
best
body
to
decide
what
this
community
needs.
We
hear
from
the
community
all
sides
and
then
we
say
as
a
vote.
This
is
what's
going
to
happen.
It's
kind
of
similar
to
the
cpa,
except
there's
a
you
know.
Obviously
we
have
cpa
group
who
makes
the
nominee
the
recommendations
and
then
we
approve
it
but
similar
again,
I
look
forward
to
having
further
discussion.
B
B
So
I
look
forward
to
putting
this
on
the
books
so
that
large
projects-
and
we
should
act
quickly
because
there
are
some
on
the
horizon,
and
I
want
to
capture
that
value
before
it's
lost
and
so
that
we
have
an
avenue
to
really
put
this
in
a
we
can
have
mitigation
in
our
books
in
a
transparent
and
open
process.
Thank.
C
Homeowners
in
the
city
of
chelsea
have
been
burdened
with
high
sewer
and
water
rates
due
to
escalating
mwra
charges
and
the
need
to
upgrade
obsolete
water
and
sewer
infrastructure
in
the
city
and
whereas
the
economic
impacts
of
the
covert
pandemic
have
exacerbated
financial
pressures
on
chelsea
homeowners.
Whereas
a
program
providing
for
rate
relief
to
homeowners,
similar
to
the
residential
exemption
provided
to
taxpayers,
will
ease
these
financial
constraints
and
now,
therefore,
be
it
audited
by
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
chelsea.
C
As
follows
that
a
petition
to
the
general
court,
accompanied
by
a
bill
for
a
special
law
relating
to
the
city
of
chelsea,
we
filed
with
an
attested
copy
of
this
order.
Being
hereby
is
approved
under
clause
1
of
section
8
of
article
2,
as
amended
of
the
amendments
of
the
constitution
of
commonwealth
of
massachusetts,
to
end
that
legislation
be
adopted
precisely
as
follows.
C
Except
for
clavical
and
editorial
changes
or
form
only
an
act
authorizing
the
creation
of
a
residential
exemption
for
water
and
sewer
charges
in
chelsea
being
enacted
by
the
senate
and
house
of
representatives
and
general
court
assembled
by
and
by
the
authority.
Of
the
same
as

section
one
northward
standing
any
general
or
special

the

C
The
city

home
or
four
family
home-
to
receive
a
reduction
on
the
water
and
sewer
bill
for
the
entire
premises
equal
to
20
percent
of
the
entire
bill.
This
reduction
shall
be

lieu
of
annual

any
other

or

the
owner
is
otherwise
entitled
on
the
water
and
saw
a
bill

this
20
percent
discount
on

from
chelsea
taxpayer
residential
exemption.
Pursuant
to
the
massachusetts
law,
chapter
59,
section
5c,
section
3
and
this
act
shall
take
effect
as
of
july
1

water
and
sewer
bills

on

Okay,
this
thing
was
done
before
this
order
was
done
before
to
help
the
homeowners
of
the
city
it
it's
really
not
up
to
us.
This
is
just
us
trying
to
help
the
homeowners
that
are
here
after
this
goes
to
a
pub.
It
was
supposed
to
go
to
a
public
hearing,
but
it,
but
that's,
okay,
it's
another
story.
So
what
happens
is
what
this
does?
Is
we
put
it
forth
to
a
public
hearing?
L
Then
it
goes
to
the
state
house
and
the
state
house
has
to
approve
whatever
we
want
to
do
for
the
homeowners
of
this
city
and
it's.
This
is
the
first
time
anything
like
this
is
ever
done,
and
maybe
it
won't
go
true
and
maybe
it
will,
but
it
never
hurts
to
try
to
help
the
homeowners
that
are
here.
We
only
have
something
like
18
percent
homeowners
in
the
city,
18,
that's
very,
very
little
20
percent.
L
If
you
give
every
homeowner
in
this
city,
20
off
the
water,
it's
about
50
bucks
a
month
for
a
three
family
house
for
a
single
family
house,
it's
about
15,
so
it
doesn't
really
cost
a
whole
bunch,
but
it's
a
symbol
showing
that
the
people
that
live
here
that
we,
the
council
care,
we
do
care
about
them
that
we
want
more
people
to
come
to
our
city.
So
this
is
just
a
way
to
send
it,
but
we
really
don't
decide
on
this.
Who
decides?
Is
the
state
house,
so
I
want
the
people
to
understand.
L
We
do
not
decide
on
this
after
the
public
hearing.
If
it
goes
to
the
state
house,
the
state
house
determines
the
only
thing
we
the
council
want
to
do
is
try
to
help
use
a
little.
That's.
The
whole
purpose
of
this
is
try
to
help
and
alleviate
some
of
the
problem
with
the
water.
The
water
became
a
mortgage.
Water
is
an
essential
part
of
your
life,
but
it's
it
got
so
expensive.
L
So
here
I'm
trying
to
help
everybody,
not
only
me
all
of
us
the
whole
body's
trying
to
help
the
people
that
live
in
that
live
and
own
their
homes
here,
and
even
the
tenants
anybody
that
lives
here
and
we're
not
giving
them
a
bunch.
20
is
hardly
anything
for
the
amount
of
homeowners
that
we
have
here.
80
percent
of
our
city
is
not
home.
Unoccupied,
80
percent
of
our
city
is
people
that
don't
they
live
here
transients
they
stay
here
three
four
five
years,
then
they
go
away.
L
B

H
President,
I
just
want
to
state
publicly-
I
mentioned
it
privately
to
the
city
manager
and
to
some
staff
members,
but
when
we
have
public
meetings
here
at
city
hall,
we
really
should
have
the
doors
open
at
least
15
minutes
prior
to
the
meetings,
but
especially
the
handicapped
door,
because
if
we're
having
public
meetings
and
the
handicap
door
is
closed,
what
we're
really
saying
is
that
handicapped
folks
are
not
allowed
to
come
to
public
meetings
and
where
in
2022,
this
is
something
so
basic
and
we
really
should
do
better.
We
need
to
be
more
inclusive.
H
We
can't
talk
about.
Let's
have
people
come
to
city
hall
if
we're
not
going
to
open
the
doors
for
them,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I'm
saying
it
out
loud
so
that
the
administration
could
go
back
and
talk
to
whoever
they
need
to
talk
to
to
make
sure
that
we
are
opening
the
doors
for
public
meetings.
We
are
public
building.
We
are
public
servants,
let's
open
to
the
public.
Thank
you.
