Donk aswè a nou gen yon seri de bidjè devan nou, epi nou pral kòmanse ak bidjè konsiltan an. Nou genyen Ellen Bordeaux, yon ansyen konseye ansyen, ki kounye a se yon konseye aji oswa ajans epi n ap chèche ranplasman li. Eski ou kapab marse nou atraver serten pwen dan Bidze ki nou annan devan nou?

[Ellen Brideau]: Pale sou evalyasyon bidjè. Lè w analize atik sa yo, w ap wè ke nou te kapab fè ti rediksyon. Ann kòmanse ak ekip la. Kwasans w ap wè a se sitou sou bò moun. Gen ladann ogmantasyon alokasyon pou vwayaj. Depatman an gen twa anplwaye sou plas ki sèvi ak machin pèsonèl yo pou fè enspeksyon sou plas. Yo ale deyò epi yo vizite pwopriyete chak jou. Se konsa, $150 pou chak moun. chak mwa, epi konte. Li ta dwe ogmante ane de sa, ak nan kou li bezwen yo dwe ogmante jodi a kòm pri a nan gazolin ogmante. Atik ki rete yo baze sou salè negosye kounye a. Aktyèlman nou gen de pòs vid nan depatman nou an, tou de se te pozisyon mwen te okipe nan wòl mwen anvan antanke Konseye Legal anchèf. Pozisyon Asistan Konseye a vid tou. Mwen konnen meri a ap travay di pou ranplase pòs sa yo. Deplase sou depans regilye, mwen pral jis kouvri en yo. Diminye bidjè pwofesyonèl legal ak evalyasyon. Nou toujou gen ka ki annatant devan Komisyon Konsèy Sipèvizyon Apèl nou an, men pwogrè sou Konsèy Sipèvizyon Apèl la rete trè dousman depi kòmansman pandemi an. Nou gen kèk ka nan dosye ki bezwen èd ak travay evalyasyon. Mwen bezwen kenbe lajan yo la si nou pa ka rive nan yon akò avèk yo. Se konsa, depatman sa a anboche yon avoka espesyalman. Depi mwen te nan depatman an, nou te benefisye de yon prezans trè fò avoka apèl nan Komite Sipèvizyon an. Mon swete ki sa i kontinyen avek arive nouvo konsiltan. Nou redwi sèvis pwofesyonèl. Pwojè sa a sèvi kòm sipò evalyasyon. Donk nou pa travay nan silo. Nou vle valè nou yo dwe egzamine pa lòt pwofesyonèl nan endistri a. Nou komisyone Revizyon Vizyon ak Solisyon Gouvènman an pou fè sa. Nou tou anplwaye moun ak sa yo rele 504 revi. Se konsa, 504 evalyasyon yo se evalyasyon ou yo, Pwopriyete pèsonèl, MSTAR, National Grid, envite ak elektè ki gen valè monetè trè wo. Nou itilize sèvis devwe pou sa yo. Mwen sispèk nouvo revizyon yo pral vle adrese pwoblèm revizyon ou yo, e sa yo se pwojè enpòtan pou depatman an, kidonk ou ta dwe kontinye. Atik ki rete a, frè konferans la, te yon ti kras redwi, men lòd IT te oblije ogmante. Depatman an sèvi ak zouti ki rasyonalize pwosesis yo epi ki pèmèt ekip yo travay pi efikas. 1. Sitou ekri pwosesis. Kòm rezilta, depatman an resevwa plis pase 500 tit pwopriyete nan rejis la chak mwa. Nou itilize yon nouvo pwogram lojisyèl ki sèvi ak entèlijans atifisyèl pou matche ak yon papye tè ak yon moso tè olye pou yo pran yon bon bout tan. Se poutèt sa, nou redwi pwosesis ekri. Sèvi ak nouvo teknoloji sa a, pwosesis la te redwi soti nan prèske twa semèn nan jis kèk jou. Yon lòt bagay nou itilize nan depatman an ki benefisye kontribyab yo se ke nou oblije soumèt done sou revni ak depans pou tout kont biznis chak ane. Nou te anboche yon konpayi pou kolekte done sa yo. ak atravè pwosesis aleka. Lè sa a, kontribyab yo pral konekte, kreye pwòp ID itilizatè inik yo, epi soumèt done revni ak depans yo nan fason sa a. Sa konfidansyèl. Yo santi yo pi byen sou li. Li tou pèmèt nou pran plis. An bref, bidjè a te redwi e mwen dispoze reponn nenpòt kesyon paske mwen te di anpil. Se konsa, mèsi.

[Nicole Morell]: Mèsi Alan. Prezidan Bear.

[Zac Bears]: Bonjou Elena. Mèsi paske w la. Mwen panse mwen vrèman fè, Gen kèk pwoblèm bidjè joj memwa mwen. Youn nan se frekans revalorizasyon nenpòt pwopriyete endividyèl, ki se konbyen fwa nou revalorize tout pwopriyete pa lalwa, sou yon baz chak ane, epi sa a se fè atravè metòd yo statistik kòrèk.

[Ellen Brideau]: Kounye a, lalwa egzije enspeksyon byen imobilye chak 10 zan. Vizit yo enpòtan, pa sèlman pou sa yo rele enspeksyon peryodik, men lè nou soti pou fè verifikasyon lavant, aktivite pèmi bilding ak revizyon jeneral kèk demann rediksyon, nou vizite pwopriyete a nan moman sa a. Si w gade Medford, dènye fwa nou te gen yon gwo evènman nan tout vil la ki te atire tout moun alafwa se nan 2014. Eske nou rive nan tout pwopriyete yo? Nou pa t 'fè sa. Men, mwen panse ke kèk manm konsèy ansyen pral sonje ke jis anvan COVID-19 frape, Mwen te fè l 'ankò lè l sèvi avèk teknoloji, lè l sèvi avèk NearMap nan yon pwodwi ki rele Pushpin, epi mwen definitivman te resevwa yon retounen sou envestisman nan men li. Se konsa, nou reyalize, sitou pandan COVID, ke moun toujou pa vle nou rete lakay yo. Mwen pa pran swen kote ou ye oswa nan ki pati nan peyi ou ye a. Nou toujou vizite kay, men nou tou itilize NearMap, ki se youn nan aplikasyon òdinatè sa yo, epi nou toujou sèvi ak pasaj siperyè sa yo. Mwen panse ke NearMap fè sa kat fwa pa ane, e se sa yo te fè jiskaprezan. Kidonk, èske nou vizite chak pwopriyete an pèsòn chak ane? Non, men nou ap analize ak chanje done otank posib pou nou rete aktyèl.

[Zac Bears]: Mèsi. Ou konnen, ou te di m 'sa a anvan, mwen jis bezwen di w ankò ane pwochèn.

[Ellen Brideau]: Oke, pa ane pwochèn. rele m.

[Zac Bears]: Mwen ka mande w pou w respekte sa. Um, men, um, mwen jis mande paske se yon bagay espesifik. Se konsa, jan ou remake, Moun ka pa vle yon moun antre lakay yo touswit nan sitiyasyon sa a. Men, jis yon kesyon, tankou, an n di ou gen yon kay ki, ou konnen, pa te note sou kat la, ou konnen, evidamman pa gen okenn ekstansyon reyèl oswa nenpòt bagay ki ta mande pou yon pèmi konstriksyon. Men, an n di yo ka fè kèk renovasyon enteryè. Ou konnen, mwen te kòmanse renmen èkondisyone santral oswa bagay konsa, bagay ki ta siyifikativman ogmante valè kay la. Sèl fason pou pran li se vizite pwopriyete a epi fè yon konsiltan vini.

[Ellen Brideau]: By wout la, gen tout pouvwa a sa yo dwe tou gen yon lisans pandan y ap kolekte yo. Briyan. Si yo fè sa san otorizasyon, asirans yo an danje. Se poutèt sa, w ap bezwen yon pèmi lè w ap fè renovasyon enteryè.

[Unidentified]: OK

[Ellen Brideau]: Mwen vle tou di ke èkondisyone ak èkondisyone santral pa pral ogmante valè yon moun nan dis fwa, li pral sèlman pote yon amelyorasyon nan yon moun. Lè sa a, nou kenbe yo. Pifò nan tan an, moun ki fè renovasyon ak Lè sa a, vann kay yo. Wi, yo ap prepare pou vann, epi nou pral wè nan MLS la oswa lòt mwayen tou. Mwen regrèt, men sa a.

[Zac Bears]: Ekselan. Non, wi, sa itil. Sa se mon dernyen kestyon. Ou konnen, nou te fè plizyè kalite konvèsyon, e aktyèlman, mwen gen de lòt kesyon. Padon, mwen jis panse ak yon lòt. Ou konnen, ann di yon moun achte yon kay, renove l, ou konnen, tankou yon kay yon sèl fanmi oswa de fanmi, tounen l 'nan de apatman, yon bagay konsa. Konbyen tan li pral pran biwo ou a reyalize sa a an tèm de evalyasyon?

[Ellen Brideau]: Kidonk, si mèt kay la achte yon kay a 2pm jodi a. Jodi a mwen tounen yon apatman. Wi, sa p ap afekte evalyasyon anvan FY2024. Ebyen, lalwa mande nou pou nou fè sa 1ye janvye anvan ane fiskal la kòmanse, donk se konsa kay la te sanble nan epòk sa a. Wi, donk li pa pran l. Sa a se kwasans. Natirèlman gen anpil. Mwen panse ke nou te fè plis pase 80 nouvo apatman, jis frape bòdwo taks nimewo 23, e mwen menm, Judy, te travay di.

[Zac Bears]: Ekselan. Kidonk, pa egzanp, lè mwen gade baz done valè tè a, se tankou, ou konnen, si se yon kay pou yon sèl fanmi oswa menm yon gwo bilding, ou konnen, tankou yon bilding apatman komèsyal, Valè tè a ak valè bilding yo se natirèlman omwen yon overgeneralization. Men, lè mwen gade nan apatman yo, li te ban m 'yon nimewo. Kisa nimewo sa a vle di? Èske li ekivalan a divizyon tè ak bilding?

[Ellen Brideau]: Yon fwa ankò nou evalye sa yon apatman ye. Apatman an fè pati tout inite yo sou tè a. Lè sa a, yon inite Ou wè, se poutèt sa, tè a nan kondo a pa gen okenn valè separe, valè a nan tè a manti nan kondo a li menm ak benefis ki genyen nan posede espas la. Li pa separe. Ankò, nou re-evalye valè sou mache a chak ane, nou re-evalye li. Mwen ta toujou evalye ak lòt apatman, mwen pa ta konpare apatman an ak de kay oswa yon sèl kay. vis vèrsa. Se konsa, konbyen yon apatman nan Medford koute? Kit se yon ranje apatman-style ak yon jaden oswa yon inite konvèsyon apatman, sa yo se valè diferan epi nou mete yo ansanm pou reyalize objektif sa a.

[Zac Bears]: OK

[Ellen Brideau]: Men se yon kondo epi ou pa janm wè valè tè a.

[Zac Bears]: OK Men, fondamantalman,

[Ellen Brideau]: Li anndan pakè a.

[Zac Bears]: Oke, gwo. Mèsi. Sa yo se kesyon mwen yo. Ou reponn tout kesyon mwen yo sou bidjè pandan prezantasyon ou a. Mèsi.

[Nicole Morell]: Mèsi. Sa byen. Konseye Caraviello.

[Richard Caraviello]: Mersi madam Chairman. Alan, ou gen kat moun sou lis depatman w la. Se konsa, ou te di gen de ouvèti. Ki de ki vid?

[Ellen Brideau]: Pozisyon yo se konseye anchèf ak konseye asistan.

[Richard Caraviello]: Kidonk ou pran konsiderasyon, kisa ou konsidere?

[Ellen Brideau]: Jodi a mwen konsidere kòm yon travayè tanporè a tan pasyèl. Mwen pa enkli isit la. Mwen devine... ki moun ki konsiltan plon an? Kounye a mwen se yon tèsteur plon men sèlman travay 10-20 èdtan nan yon semèn kounye a. Se poutèt sa. Kidonk, pozisyon sa a vid e nou espere ranpli li pi vit posib.

[Richard Caraviello]: Se konsa, ki salè ou ye kounye a? Ou jwenn salè sa a la?

[Ellen Brideau]: Pousantaj èdtan mwen te resevwa a te baze sou kantite lajan anyèl sa a. Se konsa, yo te peye m 'yon salè a tan pasyèl ki baze sou divize pa, kidonk si ou divize pa 52, ou divize.

[Richard Caraviello]: Se konsa, ou pa ap travay pou yon salè èdtan. Kidonk, de pòs ki vid yo se Konseye Prensipal ak Konseye Asosye.

[Ellen Brideau]: se vre.

[Richard Caraviello]: Èske gen yon moun nan biwo sa a ki kalifye pou pozisyon sa yo?

[Ellen Brideau]: Malerezman, poko.

[Richard Caraviello]: Lè w peye w, èske Vil Medford peye w tou?

[Ellen Brideau]: Wi, mwen te resevwa yon chèk nan vil Medford. Ankò, mwen peye pa èdtan, kidonk mwen pa pran yon salè.

[Adam Knight]: Oke, mèsi.

[Ellen Brideau]: Ou byen akeyi.

[Adam Knight]: Èske sa vle di ou vle nou kite ou rete isit la lannwit lan?

[Ellen Brideau]: Non. Mwen apresye sa. Mwen sètènman jis vle asire w ke depatman an ka ranpli responsablite li yo paske san li, epi mwen pral toujou fè evalyasyon mwen an, lajan an kòmanse ak nou. Mwen ka jwenn dosye bilding sa a bay Judy, men si mwen pa fè sa nou p ap kapab peye bidjè vil la.

[Adam Knight]: Oke, gen kèk bagay. Premyerman, Alan, ou gen gwo soulye pou ranpli lè ou rive Medford. Ed O'Neill te yon konsiltan ekselan e li te fè yon bon travay pou nou. Epi ou ranpli soulye ou san yo pa menm fè yon etap. Ou te antre nan epi anfòm parfe nan sa ki t ap pase. Konfòmite se toujou yon gwo enkyetid pou nou. Nou pa janm gen okenn pwoblèm. Li nan mitan yon sik re-evalyasyon. Ou ka reprann kote Eddie te kite, fè kèk amelyorasyon, optimize biwo a, adapte yo ak kèk chanjman teknolojik epi vrèman mennen biwo nou yo nan 21yèm syèk la. Li pral sètènman anpil rate. Mwen te toujou renmen travay avèk ou epi mwen swete w tout pi bon bagay.

[Nicole Morell]: Mèsi. Èske w gen nenpòt lòt kesyon sou bidjè estimatè? Èske telespektatè yo gen nenpòt kesyon? Mwen pa wè anyen nan sa, mèsi anpil pou tan ou, Alan. Ou byen akeyi. Jwi lannwit ou. Mèsi. Nan lòd yo prezante nou an, nou gen sa ki annapre yo. Si nou anvi enkli bann Komite Defans Sivil ek Lasante, nou annan Civil Defense ki travay avek departman Lasante.

[Richard Caraviello]: Bonjou, kiyès kap vini?

[Nicole Morell]: Oke, nou pral kòmanse ak sante, defans sivil ak kontwòl bèt. Fè li tout ansanm, Marion. Gwo, mèsi. Se konsa, si ou vle revize bidjè a devan nou, nenpòt ki pwen enpòtan, nenpòt bagay ou vle mansyone, nou pral kontinye diskite sou pwoblèm yo. OK, mèsi anpil.

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Bonswa. Pa gen anpil chanjman nan bidjè Sante Animal ak kontwòl Komisyon Konsèy ane sa a. Nou’n vwar en pti ogmantasyon dan lakantite travayer part-time. Sa a se pozisyon antrenè rekiperasyon a tan pasyèl nou an. Sa a se paske anvan Pa gen CAF nan pozisyon sa a ane sa a. Avèk plasman CAF, valè salè CAF pote yo te ogmante yon ti kras. Ankourajman konje maladi yo te elimine. Pwokirè a te di m 'ki pa gen plan pou pran retrèt ou, yo ka retire kòb la. Ofri sèvis pwofesyonèl nou yo te redwi. Sa a se atik liy lan. Nou itilize li pou kontwòl ensèk nuizib, fotokopi, konsiltan, sèvis lapolis. Donk sa se $5,000 mwens ane sa a. Nou espere pou n ka ranplase finansman sa a ak kèk finansman APA adisyonèl alavni pou kèk travay rat. Sa a se yon bon nouvèl. So salary pour bann profesyonnel lasante i desann en pti pe, sa pti chanjman, fondamantalman akoz nou annan en nouvo profesyonnel lasante ki vin avek nou sa lannen e i en step up, pa ki sa dimoun ki i ranplas i en step above li. Sa yo se chanjman reyèl k ap pase nan bidjè ane sa a.

[Nicole Morell]: Mèsi Marianne. OK

[Adam Knight]: Mèsi pou vizite. Atik sèvis pwofesyonèl yo redwi pa $5,000. Efè sa a pral genyen se yon rediksyon nan moustik.

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Se poutèt sa, kounye a pa gen okenn gerizon pou moustik. Wi, bòdwo nich la gen ladann moustik ak sèvis kanin. Kidonk kantite moustik se aktyèlman 35,000, ak yon ti ogmantasyon ane sa a pou rive 26,000. Men, sèvis pwofesyonèl se kote nou reyèlman vini ak kontwòl ensèk nuizib.

[Adam Knight]: Tankou mete yon pèlen sou yon chantye oswa nan yon pak?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Pak ak espas piblik, appâts egou ak plis ankò.

[Adam Knight]: Èske w panse gen yon fason (petèt atravè pwosesis otorizasyon an) ke nou ka rekipere kèk nan finansman ki te koupe a?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Wi, lwa wonjè yo ta dwe ede ak sa tou. Mwen panse ke nou bezwen plis reflechi sou sa e petèt kreye yon kont renouvlab pou ranmase lajan ke nou ka re-envesti.

[Unidentified]: Awesome, mèsi.

[Nicole Morell]: Nou genyen Manm Kongrè Collins, Vis Prezidan Bales, Manm Kongrè Calaviello ak Manm Kongrè Settle.

[Kit Collins]: Mèsi, Anna. Mèsi, Direktè O'Connor, paske w la. Mwen menm, gen kèk kesyon. Premyerman, eski i annan en lot dimoun dan ou departman ki pe ganny sibvansyon me ki pa’n aparet lo sa bann bidze, si i annan en revenus one-time from ARPA oubyen lezot grant?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: O wi, wi. Wi, nou genyen, Nou gen anpil sibvansyon nan depatman sante a e kounye a nou prevwa anviwon $900,000 nan sibvansyon pou ane pwochèn.

[Nina Nazarian]: Ou te di sou 900,000?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Yeah, diferan pwojè ke bous detid sa yo kouvri yo se pwojè trè espesifik, pa vre? Se poutèt sa, ou ka sèlman fè sa sibvansyon an pèmèt. Donk se yon travay trè espesifik, men pifò nan yo gen yon koòdonatè nan pozisyon sa yo. Ane sa a, APA ap ​​finanse travayè sosyal kominotè a plen tan nou an tou. Kounye a k ap travay kòm yon asistan administratif aplentan ak yon analis done a tan pasyèl nan biwo a.

[Kit Collins]: Mèsi. Sa a trè siyifikatif. Mwen konnen yo te fè anpil ak kapasite yo ak moun yo te resevwa nan sibvansyon ak ARPA. Sa a se pwobableman yon kesyon twò laj, men mwen konnen gen kèk pwojè ke mwen okouran de, tankou vilnerabilite minisipal la, pwojè Lyen Kominotè ki finanse ak sibvansyon. Se poutèt sa fen li an annatant. Èske gen yon lòt moun? Mwen kirye, eskize, sa a se yon ti kras nan paj la ke nou gen devan nou, men mwen se kirye si gen nenpòt lòt kalite gwo pwojè nan depatman ou a ki nan menm flux nan ke yo finanse pa sibvansyon olye ke bidjè opere.

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Donk, wi, pozisyon sekirite alimantè, mosyon foul moun pou bay sibvansyon an fini le 30 jen. Mesye, wi, sibvansyon vilnerabilite nou gen sibvansyon pou mobilite minisipal la ki fini tou 30 jen epi nou te aplike men nou pa t 'tankou repons jiskaske otòn la konsa te gen yon espas twa mwa. Sa a se kote Community Links antre. Men, nou pral kapab kontinye finanse yo ak fon ARPA. Nou pral kapab rete konekte ak kominote a nan lavni.

[Kit Collins]: Ah, padon, mwen pa tande dènye pati sa a. Èske w ap eseye jwenn finansman ARPA?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Nou espere ke apati 1ye Jiyè, Lyen Kominotè pral finanse pa ARPA alavni. Wi, sa a se yon travay nan pwogrè.

[Nicole Morell]: Gwo, mèsi. Prezidan Bear.

[Zac Bears]: Mersi madam Chairman. Bonjou Maria Anna. Mwen swete mwen konnen te gen klinik vaksinasyon ak nimewo pou kontwole toujou, men mwen espere ke ou menm ak ekip ou a te jwenn plis repo nan kèk mwa ki sot pase yo pase nan de ane anvan yo. Anvan pandemi an, anpil te fè ak anpil resous, epi apre pandemi an te rive. Mwen reyèlman jis vle rekonèt kantite enkwayab travay ekip ou a fè. Ak adapte yo ak sitiyasyon an epi eseye kenbe moun an sante ak an sekirite, mwen panse ke nou tout kapab. Konseye Collins te poze kesyon sou finansman sibvansyon ansanm ak lòt anplwaye ak lyen kominotè yo. Mwen devine sa mwen ap eseye di se, èske gen nenpòt plan alontèm pou fè sa rive? Mwen pa ta menm di se yon plan alontèm, men fondamantalman lide alontèm se, pou yo soutni yo apre finansman ARPA fin fin itilize, pozisyon ou mansyone yo ak lyezon kominote yo ak tout lòt bagay ki finanse pa ARPA, ou dwe chèche pou ranplasman appropriations, oswa èske gen yon plan, eske gen yon angajman pou mete sa yo nan bidjè a fonksyone?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Pou lemoman, nou pa pran angajman pou nou mete yo nan bidjè fonksyònman, nou pral sètènman gade nan apropriyasyon, e sètènman nou vle sa yo pozisyon yo kontinye jwenn finansman, kidonk nou espere kapab fè sa.

[Zac Bears]: Wi. Sa pa pèsonèl, se jis yon kesyon nou ap poze depi plizyè mwa. Ou konnen, mwen konnen kèk nan sa yo te devan nou, kèk nan li, nou te fondamantalman te tann sis mwa pou opinyon legal sou dokiman yo sou sèten bagay, men si ou te kapab fè yon ti limyè sou, ou konnen, lè ou mansyone bagay tankou obligasyon kominotè, èske ou te konnen ke majistra a te voye l 'bay nou pou apwobasyon nou kòm yon afektasyon, oswa èske li jis apwouve li epi li di ke li te kapab ale nan ARPA yon finansman?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Mwen sipoze se siyati majistra a paske li klè li sètènman kalifye. OK

[Zac Bears]: Yeah, li itil paske nou te mande, ou konnen, gen kèk fon ARPA ki te apwouve pa nou anvan nou e gen kèk fon ARPA ki te apwouve pa nou anvan nou e li kòmanse vin yon ti kras konfizyon, ou konnen, ki jan mwen santi mwen sou tout bagay ke ou sot site, mwen te la e mwen panse ke se egzakteman sa nou bezwen. Depi nou toujou ap reponn, li parèt nou sou wout pou nou pran vaksen timoun ant sis mwa ak senk ane, ki pral yon bagay konplètman nouvo nan pratik ou. Kidonk, mwen pa kwè ou konnen resous sa yo pa bezwen ijan. sa a se jis Mwen te kòmanse jwenn yon ti kras konfonn lè kèk bagay yo devan nou ak lòt moun pa, kidonk ki règ yo ki detèmine kisa ki ka ak sa ki pa ka rive jwenn nou.

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Yeah, mwen pa sèten ki limit yo ye, jan mwen konnen finansman sante piblik se prensipalman finanse pa APA a, menm jan ak sèvis sante piblik la.

[Zac Bears]: Mwen panse ke si se te travay ou, ou ta gen kat travay siplemantè olye de twa. Sèl lòt bagay mwen vle mansyone se Ou di sèvis pwofesyonèl yo nan bès, men petèt kèk travay kontwòl ensèk nuizib ak wonjè yo ta ka fèt atravè ARPA tou. Èske li vrèman pral tankou ranplase 5,000, petèt menm ogmante pa fè yon ti kras plis?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Nou wè kwasans. Nou ap gade, nou gen twa diferan kontra devan nou kounye a epi nou ap eseye deside ki sa ki pi bon fason pou pi devan, men finansman an pral siyifikativman pi wo.

[Zac Bears]: Wi, sa ta gwo. Paske mwen, ou konnen, si mwen te tande pale de sa a, mwen konnen ou te tande pale de li. Kidonk, ou konnen, definitivman gen anpil moun atravè Greenland, men tout kote yo ale yo di gen plis rat pase te konn genyen, kidonk yo jis vle m '. Wi, mwen kontan tande sa.

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Wi, nou vle asire w ke ou reyèlman jwi sa a. Gen gwo finansman pou appâts ak rodentisid ak gwo pwogram, men li vrèman plis nan yon efò kolaborasyon pase jis anpwazònman ak elektwokisyon oswa tou sa yo ap fè kounye a, men nou bezwen koperasyon nan men biznis ak rezidan yo reyèlman soutni ak ede ak sitiyasyon sa a.

[Zac Bears]: Ki jan nouvo règleman wout yo kontribye nan sa?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Wi, sa a se yon evènman edikasyon jaden.

[Zac Bears]: Dènye bagay la se kontwòl bèt an jeneral. Èske se sèl Pat Hogan k ap sèvi kòm ACO?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Pat se ACO nou an. Sophie Antoine se pwofesyonèl swen sante nou an epi li sètifye tou pou fè travay ACO. Se konsa, li te sipò Pat a lè li pa te alantou.

[Zac Bears]: Wi, oke. Nou toujou pa ka pwograme li pou yon kantite rezon. Kòm mwen sèten ou konnen, nou te gen anpil reyinyon pandan sis mwa ki sot pase yo. Men, nou pral eseye fè yon reyinyon ke evidamman Pat ta ka envite nan, epi Lè sa a, mwen pa konnen ki lòt moun nan depatman sante a ta ka vle patisipe. Jis pou rezime, nou te tande pale sou sa a epi nou te tande pale de rezidan yo rankontre chen ki pèdi ak bagay konsa, e sa a se jis yon egzanp. Nou konnen ke kapasite nan aktyèlman fè travay kontwòl bèt se akseptab, e sa a se pwobableman yon bon fason yo mete li. Ou konnen Patrick te fè anpil bagay. Se konsa, nou te vle pale sou si te gen fason, evidamman, depreferans nou ta ka ogmante bidjè a ak èspere ke pote plis resous, men èske gen lòt kolaborasyon oswa patenarya atravè vil la ki ta ka ede, omwen petèt, Pou sonnen alam la epi fè l konnen ki kote nouvo sitiyasyon tankou sa a ta ka rive, ou konnen, pou egzanp, pwopriyete Brooks la, nou te gen kèk, kidonk mwen jis te vle fè w konnen, sa a se yon bagay ke nou ap chèche nan. Mwen menm mwen te pale avè l 'sou sa.

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Men, mwen panse lòt bagay sou kote sa a se li difisil pou nou reyalize ke li pa yon kote 24/7, dwa? Se konsa, li pa Se pa yon wikenn oswa yon aswè, kidonk li pi difisil.

[Zac Bears]: Èske w konnen lòt vil kote anplwaye yo gen dwa travay pi long èdtan 24/7?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Mwen pa kwè li. Mwen vle di, nan anpil vil, se andeyò depatman lapolis la epi yo ka gen sipò nan depatman lapolis pou kapab reponn 24/24, 7/7, men mwen pa sèten. OK

[Zac Bears]: Sa yo se kesyon mwen yo. Mèsi.

[Nicole Morell]: Konseye Caraviello.

[Richard Caraviello]: Mersi madam Chairman. Miriam, ou travay ak tout staff la? Wi. Mwen te wè $3,400 nan ti chanjman. Èske yon moun pral oblije peye oswa nou ta dwe mennen nan yon moun ki gen yon salè pi ba?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Sanatoryom 34446, sa a se paske Sara se yon nouvo Sanitarium louvri ane sa a, kidonk li se sèlman nivo youn, pa tankou yon moun ki ta dwe jwe.

[Richard Caraviello]: Nou dwe fè tout enspeksyon yo nan tout restoran yo e nou ap travay di pou fè sa.

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Wi, wi, bousdetid ke nou te patisipe nan te aktyèlman yon pati nan, se te yon bousdetid rejyonal. Mystic Valley Public Health Alliance, Malden, Melrose, Wakefield, Stone ak Winchester. Nou te resevwa yon sibvansyon $10,000 nan men yo pou anboche yon konpayi konsiltasyon pou fè sa nou rele nivo twa travay, ki se restoran yo.

[Richard Caraviello]: Se konsa, nou te gen yon konpayi prive soti epi fè enspeksyon an.

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Kounye a nou gen yon konpayi prive ki fè enspeksyon pou nou epi ki ede nou ratrape.

[Richard Caraviello]: Mwen panse ke youn nan gwo kesyon tout moun sou tablo sa a ap poze se sourit la. Kote nou ye ak pwoblèm rat la? Ou sanble prèske tout kote nan kominote a. Li nan tout kote nan kominote a.

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Ki sa nou ap fè... Se konsa, nou ap gade nan twa kontra diferan ak twa konpayi diferan epi eseye detèmine si li se yon konbinezon ... Èske sa la a? Non, sa ta pral avanse finansman APA. Briyan. Se poutèt sa nou ap chèche gwo finansman APA pou ede sipòte efò sa yo.

[Richard Caraviello]: Briyan. Ak rive nan Byoloji ak syans byolojik rive byen fon nan kominote a. Ki kote sa a mete depatman ou a? Ki sa depatman ou a gen pou di sou sa?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Wi, anfet nou annan en konsiltan ki pou zwenn avek Board of Health Mardi sa semenn pou diskit lo kote nou bezwen regilasyon biosecurity dan Board of Health, setadir proze licensing e oversight. pou nouvo laboratwa sa yo. Avèk nouvo zòn nan, yo pèmèt laboratwa Nivo 1 ak Nivo 2, men nou pa pèmèt laboratwa Nivo 3 oswa Nivo 4 nan vil Medford. Men, menm youn oubyen de moun bezwen lisans ak pwosedi sipèvizyon. So nou annan en konsiltan ki en eksper dan domenn pou edik bann manm Board of Health lo sa ki sa i vedir, ki sa bann regilasyon i devret fer, ki zot rol e zot responsabilite. Sa a pral diskite nan Madi epi apre nou pral gen yon odyans piblik. tounen.

[Richard Caraviello]: Èske yo pral gen yo dwe retrave nan kèk pwen?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Se pa ke pifò moun pa panse ak kèk nan lang nan, kèk nan tèminoloji yo, ak materyèl aktyèl yo jwenn nan laboratwa sa yo. Se sa ki ledikasyon i konsern, e se sa ki nou vreman bezwen trakase dan bann laboratwa prensipal e segonder, si i vre.

[Richard Caraviello]: Konbyen plis twalèt ou sèten yo pral genyen pou ou? Fè biwo ou pi alèz.

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Mwen pa gen okenn lide.

[Richard Caraviello]: Ki lòt vil ki sanble nan gwosè ak nou an?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Gwosè a se menm jan an, anplwaye a ka menm jan an, twa oswa kat moun. Yo ta ka gen, ou konnen, yon twalèt siplemantè, ou konnen, tout twalèt yo ki itilize kounye a, espesyalman nan moman sa a nan ane a, li vrèman difisil paske nou gen Teren kan ak pisin ak lòt kondisyon depa, enspeksyon ak pèmi. Menm bagay la tou ale pou plent lojman, plent vòt, plent fatra, ak tout lòt bagay. Trè sere ak trè difisil. Se konsa, konsesyon sèvis pataje yo ke mwen te pale sou yo pi bonè yo pral anboche tou sa nou rele enspektè pataje yo ede wete kèk nan fado nan kominote a. Natirèlman, sa a se yon taks pataje pami senk kominote yo. Se konsa, li pa pral pran tan, men li pral pwobableman pran omwen yon lòt jou pou ede nou kalkile sa a.

[Justin Tseng]: Mèsi.

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Mèsi Konseye Zeng.

[Justin Tseng]: Mèsi. Oke, mèsi ankò pou tout travay ou fè ak pou reponn rapidman lè mwen kontakte ou, repons ou yo toujou tèlman detaye ak reflechi epi mwen te vle, ou konnen, mete sa nan dosye a. Kèk nan kesyon mwen yo te deja reponn pa kòlèg palmantè mwen yo, sitou sa ki gen rapò ak pozisyon ki finanse ak sibvansyon ak kontwòl wonjè. Men, jis pou w klè, ou te deklare nan kontak kominote w yo ke sou yon peryòd twa mwa yo ta resevwa finansman. Èske yo pral jwenn finansman nan men ARPA?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Se poutèt sa, nou prevwa ke yo pral finanse pa ARPA lè finansman ARPA fini. Mwen devine mwen pa fin sèten nan dat fen kounye a.

[Justin Tseng]: Si sibvansyon pa mache.

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: OK Si ka finansman an valab, n ap resevwa lyen adisyonèl kòm yon pati nan finansman an.

[Justin Tseng]: Oh, gwo. Bon konnen. Èske gen okenn asirans nan men gouvènman an ke lajan ARPA sa yo pral itilize pou lyezon kominote a?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Tout pwosedi yo se kounye a jiska City Hall e mwen kwè li te siyen sou yo tout pou nou ka avanse pou pi devan apati 1ye jiyè.

[Justin Tseng]: Mèsi. Se konsa, um, mwen devine sa. Gen kèk moun ki kontakte m sou sitwèb vil la pou jwenn enfòmasyon sou COVID-19. Jis mwen konnen tout moun okipe e mwen mande si yo gen bon anplwaye an plas pou ede yo konpile tout enfòmasyon sa yo, telechaje li sou sit entènèt vil la epi kenbe li ajou.

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Wi, nou pral eseye pi byen nou. An reyalite, sit entènèt la te kreye atravè konsiltasyon kominikasyon. Se konsa, nou di yo statistik yo chak semèn epi yo jwenn yo. Kit se kantite ka oswa kantite vaksen yo, yo telechaje li sou sit entènèt la.

[Justin Tseng]: Mèsi. Mwen sonje ane pase Manm Kongrè Morel te poze kèk kesyon sou liy dirèk plizyè lang. Si sa kontinye, èske ou ka ba nou yon rapò sou sitiyasyon?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Wi, sa pral definitivman kontinye. Li ap itilize, evidamman pa anpil pandan COVID, men nou jwenn anpil demann pou sipò oswa referans pou jwenn enfòmasyon nan men travayè sosyal kominotè yo, kit se sou pwoblèm lojman oswa pwoblèm manje. Chak fwa nou anonse yon klinik vaksen, nou resevwa apèl k ap ede moun enskri. Kominote 7 te vrèman itil nan reponn apèl sa yo, mwen te nan diferan lang epi reponn mesaj vwa sa yo.

[Justin Tseng]: Mwen kwè li. Ane pase, Prezidan Morel te soulve yon kesyon konsa tou.

[Nicole Morell]: Anjeneral mwen pa gen plis kesyon, kidonk mande kèk.

[Justin Tseng]: Mwen panse Prezidan Morel te mande tou sou sante mantal lè ou te di ou te wè yon ogmantasyon nan ka yo. Èske nou te wè kèk estabilizasyon ane sa a oswa èske nou toujou wè kèk upside?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Nou fèk resevwa Sondaj Swen Sikyatrik Kominotè semèn sa a e sa yo se fondamantalman rezilta nou yo Boutèy yo soti nan etid konpòtman adolesan ki fèt nan lekòl primè ak segondè. Se konsa, kounye a nou ap revize done yo. Preliminè sanble parèt pwomèt, espesyalman konsènan itilizasyon sibstans. Men, nou genyen tou Behavioral Health Council, ki pral Voye yo rapò anyèl la, èspere ke nan fen ane pwochèn, nan fen Jiyè, men kounye a nou gen de sou-komite ki aktyèlman ap gade nan statistik yo, ane pase, ane sa a 2020 se yon ane trè difisil yo konpare. Se konsa, nou ap gade disponiblite pwogramasyon nan vil la ak sa nimewo sa yo aktyèlman di nou sou sa k ap pase ak done yo, kidonk nou espere ap travay sou sa pandan tout ete a.

[Justin Tseng]: Ki resous nou genyen kounye a? Mon konnen ou’n mansyonn travayer sosyal, travayer sosyal ki finanse par ARPA, donk nou annan sa. Èske nou gen plis resous espesyalman konsantre sou sante mantal?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Nou gen yon antrenè rekiperasyon a tan pasyèl ki travay ak moun ki gen maladi itilizasyon sibstans epi ki ale pòt-an-pòt nan kominote a, nan pak yo, epi kenbe tras de nenpòt surdozaj nou ka genyen. Lapolis kounye a gen travayè sosyal kominotè, e mwen panse ke yo pral anboche tou yon jèn travayè sosyal. Sa se vreman ankourajan nouvèl. Nou travay trè sere e travayè sosyal nou yo travay trè sere ak yo.

[Justin Tseng]: Sa se mon dernyen kestyon. Èske w konnen sa lòt kominote yo ap fè an tèm de sante mantal, mwen panse espesyalman pou jèn moun, men tou sante mantal an jeneral?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Nou fè pati plizyè sibvansyon rejyonal ki vrèman vize sou jèn yo kounye a. Nou ap antreprann yon gwo evalyasyon. Penny se lidè operasyon sa a. O nivo rejyonal, nou wè sa k ap pase. Ankò, yon fwa evalyasyon an fini, nou pral gen yon trè bon lide. Lè sa a, lekòl la aplike yon pwogram referans, ki te gwo. Moun yo ka rele si yo bezwen sèvis epi yo ouvri pou tout elèv Medford yo ak fanmi yo.

[Nicole Morell]: Èske Komisyon Konsèy la gen nenpòt lòt kesyon? Mwen vle di ou mèsi ankò, Marianne. Mwen vle di, ou merite mèsi espesyal chak ane, men mwen espere ke byento ou pa pral resevwa mèsi espesyal pou sa ou te pase nan depatman an. Se poutèt sa mwen patikilyèman rekonesan pou travay di ou pandan de ane edmi ki sot pase yo. Mwen konnen nou gen defans sivil. An reyalite, mwen ta dwe yon pèseptè trezò. Mwen konnen ou vle soti isit la. Kidonk, si nou ta ka sispann pou yon ti moman, nou ta tounen nan defans sivil. Mèsi, mwen apresye li. Mwen konnen mwen gen sa a nan nòt mwen yo tou, epi mwen jis wè li nan nòt mwen yo.

[Judy Johnston]: Mèsi anpil. Non mwen se Judy Johnston. Mwen se trezorye a e mwen jis revize bidjè mwen an. ou ka tande mwen? Wi. OK OK Salè, nap bese salè. Nou genyen, sa a se premye fwa. Nan yon ane ak yon mwatye, nou te deja gen yon ekip konplè. Se konsa, nou te chita epi nou anboche twa nouvo anplwaye. Nou te anplwaye yon nouvo anplwaye pewòl ane pase. Se konsa, nou gen tout anplwaye yo. Lè sa a, nou te pran retrèt ak moun ki ale. Se poutèt sa nou ap bese salè ak pwolonje dire lavi, paske kounye a nouvo moun yo pa pral viv osi lontan. Pou depans nòmal, Nou ap eseye kenbe tout bagay menm jan. Nou dwe ale nan 5301, ki se tit taks la. Mwen mande plis lajan paske kounye a menm jan ak ane pase a, chanm lan ap mande plis obligasyon taks. Se konsa, nou te ale nan avoka ankò an Desanm. Nou te travay avèk yo pou ogmante limit la pou yo pa ale dèyè pèsonn pou mwens pase $5,000. Se konsa, nou ogmante limit la epi yo enpoze yon kosyon taks. Se konsa, nou mete plis lajan nan obligasyon taks. Alor nou bezwen ogmant lakantite lakour teritoryal e diferan fees ki nou pou peye. Se poutèt sa mwen te ajoute atik liy sa a. Pwosesis done yo ap ogmante paske plis nan nou ap peye sou entènèt. Gen yon frè 25 santim pou chak moun. Peman sou entènèt ak sèvis pewòl, kont sa a kouvri anpil bagay diferan nou peye pou. Frè labank, mwen bese, redwi. Depans transpò yo te ogmante kidonk mwen te oblije ogmante depans transpò yo. Sous dlo a kase paske nou gen yon biwo kounye a. Nou te deplase nan mwa desanm epi nou tout te la, biwo koleksyon trezorye a te tout sou yon bò epi nou tout te ansanm pou nou pa t bezwen yon lòt glasyè dlo. Nan reyinyon kota nou pral koupe l an mwatye. Prim asirans yo te ogmante ane pase a paske nou te oblije trete bon asirans pou anplwaye biwo a ak biwo grefye vil la. Ak lajan an pa t 'tankou yo te panse. Se poutèt sa mwen te abandone li. Se tout. Mèsi, Judy. Freshmen ak lous.

[Zac Bears]: Mersi madam Chairman. Bonjou Judy. Bonjou. Kèk kesyon, twa kesyon. Premyèman, ki enpak revokasyon yo genyen? Ki enpak sa pral genyen sou biwo a?

[Judy Johnston]: Nou te toujou gen kat anplwaye. Mwen pa gen okenn lide ki kote senk pozisyon anplwaye sa yo ye. Nou te toujou gen kat anplwaye. Nou gen de kesye, de lòt anplwaye nan biwo a, ak yon sèl anplwaye pewòl.

[Zac Bears]: Briyan. Ou konnen, mwen sèten ou tande sa tout tan, donk mwen regrèt mande ankò, men èske gen yon plan oswa yon orè pou peman dijital, tankou kat kredi ak bagay konsa, ka fèt an pèsòn nan biwo a?

[Judy Johnston]: Nan biwo a? Non, mwen pa panse sa.

[Zac Bears]: OK Non.

[Judy Johnston]: Nou ka eskane chèk la pou nou ka kite yo fè sa.

[Zac Bears]: Padon, mwen vle di, si yon moun antre nan fenèt la.

[Judy Johnston]: Peye yon frè rabè? Non, pa vrèman. Nou pa diskite sou li. Gen frè ki enplike. Se konsa, pifò moun ki peye pou sa a fè li sou entènèt.

[Zac Bears]: Briyan. Wi. Mwen jis mande paske mwen panse, ou konnen, sa mwen mande kounye a se, pakin nan la epi moun vin achte tikè pakin, sa a se diferan de poukisa yo ta ale nan yon pèseptè trezò pou mande yon bagay. Pi gwo yo, tankou taks sou pwopriyete ak bagay konsa, ou konnen, tankou yo pral peye pou li. Nou te tande nan men moun k ap peye pou tikè an pèsòn ke yo vle kapab peye pou tikè yo atravè metòd tankou kat kredi oswa peman dijital.

[Judy Johnston]: Oke, ou ka fè sa sou entènèt.

[Zac Bears]: OK

[Judy Johnston]: Wi, men se pa nan biwo a.

[Zac Bears]: Wi, gen kèk tansyon ki antoure sa a. Se konsa, ou konnen, mwen jis vle fè remake ke mwen panse ke sa a pral yon sèvis

[Judy Johnston]: Men, kat kredi, si yo peye tikè pakin, ta sou lòt bò a de tout fason. Li pa ta menm bagay la tou, paske nou pa ta gen fichye oswa anyen fè sa ak.

[Zac Bears]: Tout sa nou tande se te pa gen pèsonn la, mwen pa konnen, mwen pa la chak jou, men fondamantalman sa nou te tande se nou te ale la pou peye yon tikè pakin epi yo te di, nou pa ka fè sa ak yon kat kredi isit la.

[Judy Johnston]: Sa a se yon biwo separe. Ou pral oblije ale nan pakin epi mande. Mwen pa ka reponn okenn kesyon sou pakin.

[Zac Bears]: Briyan. Lè sa a, nan tèt taks la, Mwen ka sonje li yon ti kras mal. Èske ou ka ajoute kèk kontèks kòm konsèy la mande pou mete kèk kalite presyon adisyonèl sou sa a?

[Judy Johnston]: Oke, nan yon odyans bidjè palmantè ane pase a, mwen te mande konbyen lajan nou te ranmase nan kontra taks. Te gen yon rapò ki montre nou te ranmase anpil mwens lajan pase ane anvan an. Men, sa ki te pase se te nou te gen avoka anvan, epi apre yo te arete yo. Nan 2020, mwen panse ke yo te di pa ranmase okenn lajan. Nou pral kolekte pa nou.

[Unidentified]: Wi.

[Judy Johnston]: Se konsa, nou te eseye chaje, nou voye lèt, men moun jis pa ta peye. Nou te resevwa kèk apèl nan men moun, men se te li. Mwen voye yon lèt chak de mwa. Se konsa, nan mwa desanm, mwen te rankontre ak avoka a ankò paske yo, uh, yo te amase lajan epi yo pa peye paske yo te peye sèlman lè moun peye, Kantite lajan yo dwe nou an. Wi, yo te dwe anpil lajan nan moman an. Yo, ou konnen, um, pandan prèske dezan, nou pa t 'kapab ranmase okenn lajan. Ki jan yo pral peye nou? Èske w ap kontinye travay avèk nou? Se konsa, nou kontinye travay avèk yo. Nou te di ogmante limit la soti 5 a 25,000 moun pou yo pa pèsekite pèsonn. Yo koperativ e yo trè zanmitay. Yo travay ak moun yo ofri rabè sou frè legal. Yo te fè anpil lajan depi nou te tounen ba yo an Desanm. Se konsa, mwen pa gen valè a kounye a, men mwen ka jwenn valè a si ou vle.

[Zac Bears]: Sa ap ede. Èske li prensipalman rezidansyèl oswa komèsyal?

[Judy Johnston]: Li se prensipalman rezidansyèl yo. Nou te vann a lakriye piblik yon pwopriyete men vil la te sezi sou li. An reyalite, nou gen de. Youn te vann piblik nan mwa desanm. Lòt la te retounen ak moun nan aktyèlman vann pwopriyete a epi li te ba nou tout lajan an tounen. Se konsa, yo te peye frè avoka yo, kidonk nou te ranmase anpil lajan nan moman taks.

[Zac Bears]: Donk mwen pral jwenn rapò sa a pou ou, mèsi, rapò sa a ap itil sèlman an tèm de frè legal. Ou konnen, ann di yon moun gen 26,000. Èske frè avoka yo ap tankou yo dwe 31,000 oswa plis, tankou yo dwe 50,000, oswa èske nimewo sa a ap ogmante sou tan?

[Judy Johnston]: Non, tan an pase. Sa t ap ka a si yo te swiv taks nou yo ak enterè yo epi yo ajoute frè yo, ki te separe. Kidonk, lè yo peye, yo mande nou konbyen nou dwe, answit yo mande yon frè, epi answit moun nan dwe peye tout kantite lajan an anvan nou lage.

[Zac Bears]: Nan pataje enfòmasyon, si sa posib, èske ou ta ka pataje kèk kalite orè frè ke ou genyen?

[Judy Johnston]: Mwen pral oblije mande yo.

[Zac Bears]: Wi, mwen sèten ou dwe mande yo, men li ta itil pou wè sa paske, ou konnen, li se yon balans konstan ant eseye ede moun ak eseye kenbe yo responsab. Epi jis gen enfòmasyon adisyonèl sa a.

[Judy Johnston]: Wi, mwen pral jwenn li pou ou.

[Zac Bears]: Mèsi.

[Judy Johnston]: Ou byen akeyi.

[Zac Bears]: Mersi madam Chairman.

[Nicole Morell]: Èske w gen nenpòt lòt kesyon sou Shopkeeper Collector? Judy, mwen jis gen yon kesyon. Ou mansyone frè 25 santim pou peman sou entènèt.

[Judy Johnston]: Se tankou yon split, tankou lameri a peye yon pòsyon epi apre sa pòsyon peye pa... Non, lameri a sèlman, si yon moun peye sou entènèt, gen yon frè 25 santim, epi lameri a peye, yo fè nou peye 25 santim. Li pa gen pwoblèm, li pa enpòtan. Mwen panse ke sa a se rezonab.

[Nicole Morell]: Sekirite. Wi. OK Ann wè si piblik la gen nenpòt kesyon. Pa gen okenn diskisyon yo te wè sou tablo a ki te konplete. Mèsi anpil.

[Judy Johnston]: Mèsi anpil.

[Nicole Morell]: Mèsi. Nou pral retounen li nan Defans Sivil. Mèsi paske w pèmèt nou fè sa.

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Aktyèlman non, pa gen anyen pou di sou bidjè a. Prèske pa gen okenn chanjman ant bidjè ane pase a ak bidjè ane sa a. Mwen pa konnen si gen moun ki gen kesyon, men pou moun nan nou kap gade lakay yo ki pa ka konnen sa defans sivil vle di, ou ta ka di se yon tèm ansyen. Li te itilize pou kèk tan. Mwen panse ke kounye a moun yo ap reflechi plis sou, mwen pa konnen, planifikasyon enprevi, preparasyon pou enprevi, men se sa ki sou sa.

[Nicole Morell]: Mèsi. Prezidan Bear?

[Zac Bears]: Mersi madam Chairman. Mwen pa gen okenn dout paske bidjè a pa chanje, men èske gen nenpòt depans alantou pandemi an, oswa fondamantalman preparasyon pou ijans? Èske pandemi sa a se yon ijans? Èske nou pral kapab jwenn nenpòt èd akòz mezi nou gen depatman sa a oswa depatman an patikilye mete an plas pou sipòte preparasyon pou ijans pou pandemi an?

[MaryAnn O'Connor]: Menm jan avè m, twous preparasyon pou ijans sa a.

[Zac Bears]: Se konsa, ou, ou se yon ijans. Mwen wè. Oke, mèsi.

[Nicole Morell]: Gen nenpòt lòt kesyon sou frè sa a? Non. Orevwa, Mariana. Mèsi anpil. Oke, kidonk nou, uh, mwen devine nou ka pake an premye paske zanmi medya kominotè nou yo, mwen panse yo dwe avèk nou jouk nan fen, dwa oswa oke, mwen vle di, si ou anfòm, wi, mwen devine ou ka kite lè ou fini, oswa oke, nou pral pran ou. ap eseye fè moun soti si yo ap eseye soti. Mwen te panse ou te oblije rete isit la tout nwit lan. Kidonk, depi w ka ale lè w fini, n ap mennen w. Oke, nou gen bidjè Peg Access Metro Community Media la devan nou. Kevin Harrington, si ou vle ban nou yon BECA.

[Kevin Harrington]: Bonswa tout moun. Donk, wi, si ou gade nan bidjè a, pa gen anpil chanjman sibstans. An reyalite, si nou gade nan depans renouvlab, espesyalman bidjè pou FY22 ak bidjè ki pwopoze pou FY23 yo se menm bagay. Pami chanjman yo genyen yon diminisyon nan manm manadjè estasyon an konpare ak fiskal 2022 ak sèlman yon ti ogmantasyon nan kantite anplwaye pou pozisyon manadjè estasyon an ak pozisyon kowòdonatè pwodiksyon an. Lè sa a, anplis, Sèl bagay mwen vle fè remake se jis nan ka moun yo kirye, sa a se depans nòmal, ekipman nou yo, lòt atik, sa a se gwo atik ke nou itilize pou ranplase kamera elatriye. Se sèlman 18,000 ki nan lis kounye a, e sa ka chanje. Sepandan, nou gen plizyè lòd acha ki nan diferan etap nan sik lavi yo. Se konsa, mwen devine nou pral tankou $50 pi ba pase bidjè nou. Se konsa, nou ka jwenn atravè li jis byen. Anplis de sa, ou konnen, se te yon ane trè enteresan. Mwen te kòmanse nan mwa Oktòb e, ou konnen, mwen toujou konnen anpil bagay sou estasyon an ak kijan li fonksyone e mwen dispoze reponn nenpòt kesyon ou genyen. Anvan nou kòmanse, mwen vle remèsye kowòdonatè pwodiksyon mwen an, Kat Darnell, ki te enkwayab depi mwen te kòmanse pale ak kominike avèk manm kominote nou an, ansanm ak Shane Colbert '22, ke anpil nan nou konnen e ki souvan nan izolwa a. Li te tou definitivman itil nan ban m 'yon sans sou ki kote nou ye jodi a ak fè estasyon an kanpe ak fonksyone. Se konsa, nan fason sa a, Kite li pou mwen.

[Nicole Morell]: Konseye Caraviello.

[Kevin Harrington]: Konsènan kont aksè ki konekte, mwen pa konnen sa ou vle di. Koleksyon kab.

[Richard Caraviello]: Mwen pa gen okenn lide. ou pa konnen. Si w ka konnen ki kantite lajan yo te ranmase ane sa a oswa ane pase a epi voye l ba nou.

[Kevin Harrington]: Absoliman. Paske mwen konnen kesyon sa a poze chak ane. Se konsa, mwen klè: ou vle di lajan Comcast ap ofri?

[Richard Caraviello]: Wi, nou resevwa finansman nan men yo chak ane. Wi. sa se tout. Ou reyèlman pa gen anpil ankò.

[Zac Bears]: Mersi madam Chairman. Mwen te pale ak Kevin anvan reyinyon an. Yon bagay moun te mande se si nou ta ka viv reyinyon konsèy vil yo ak reyinyon komite sou YouTube kòm yon altènatif. Kevin te di ke li ta gade nan li epi li te panse se te yon posibilite. Se konsa, sa a ka rive byento. Jis kèk kesyon. youn nan prensipal la Bagay tankou afekte koneksyon atravè peyi a jis koupe fil yo, moun pa gen fil ankò. Ou konnen, nou te fè yon efò pou fè gouvènman federal ak leta yo konsidere chaje kèk santim pou abònman difizyon pou aksè lokal yo. èske w konnen efò sa yo? Jis paske mwen, mwen jis mande sa a paske mwen panse li se fre. Asire w ke ou konnen epi ou ka mete non nou sou li, ou konnen, si gen yon lèt ki di Medford Community Media ka la pou di nou sipòte kalite defans sa a, nou kwè li enpòtan pou konsève ak kenbe aksè lokal yo kòm paysage medya a chanje. Donk se plis yon obsèvasyon pou wè si w konnen, si w ap pran aksyon. Si ou pa, petèt mwen kapab epi nou ka konekte. Se pa mwen, mwen ta dwe fè pwòp rechèch mwen an pou di ou ki moun pou pale, men wi. Wi.

[Kevin Harrington]: Wi. Mwen poko konnen sa. E, jan mwen konprann li, mwen panse ke youn nan benefis nan nou ak anpil nan estasyon aksè lokal yo se ke ou ka jwenn aksè nan sèvis nou an atravè bwat set-top ke ou te peye pou. Men wi, si ou gen yon navigatè entènèt, Ou pa menm oblije rete nan Medford. Ou ka ale nan sit entènèt nou an epi ou ka jwenn aksè nan tout reyinyon gouvènman yo, jwenn aksè nan tout kontni an. Mon dakor, nou anvi fer sir ki nou pa pe regle bann keksoz ki ganny fer lo non public interest, public access. Tout se posib. Se konsa, wi, mwen pral kenbe yon je sou sa. Si mwen tande yon bagay tankou sa a oswa si mwen resevwa nenpòt kalite notifikasyon sou aksyon, mwen pral kenbe tout moun afiche.

[Zac Bears]: Ekselan. Wi. Menm, ou konnen, li definitivman bon pou w rete enfòme, men reyèlman jis kenbe yon je sou li paske, ou konnen, mwen panse ke pandemi an ka ralanti yon ti kras paske moun yo te rete lakay yo ak itilize televizyon kab pwobableman plis pase yo te fè nan ane anvan yo. Li sanble ke pousantaj plat yo fondamantalman desann toupatou paske moun ap deplase sou YouTube TV oswa bagay tankou Netflix ak Hulu. Olye pou yo gen yon bil kab ak. Sa pa etone m ke gouvènman federal la poko refè. Dènye bagay mwen vle mande se, èske gen nenpòt nouvo emisyon ke moun ap travay sou, tankou yon emisyon televizyon, ke nou ka eksite pou jwenn nan orè a byento?

[Kevin Harrington]: 是的。 那是什么？ 是的，CBB 计划仍然强劲。 我昨天刚录了一集。 是的，我们有一些节目需要休息一下。 你好，游艇之眼。 我不确定你是不是这么说的。 对不起。 但我们正在进行一些工作。 我一直在与学校委员会成员麦克劳克林交谈，希望让他回来，但目前不确定该计划的名称是什么。 而是一个将学生、教育工作者和家长聚集在一起召开圆桌会议的教育计划。 他们制作了一集关于电子烟的节目，我观看了它以获得一个想法。 所以他正试图在秋天的某个时候把它拿回来。 我还与位于梅德福广场的 ICCM 的一位先生交谈，讨论从他的组织中招募人员作为成员，这些人可以 报道您自己正在发生的事件，也许还可以使用工作室空间。 所以，是的，我们肯定有一些潜在的线索正在开发中。

[Zac Bears]: I will just suggest one thing that I think would be a bonanza, which is a local politics talk show. If you can find anyone who'd want to host it, I don't know who would. Absolutely, you know? The door's open.

[Nicole Morell]: There's plenty of dealer power down there, I'm sure.

[Zac Bears]: Oh, hot ones for, yeah, that would be hot ones for local politics. I'm not gonna last long in that show. Yeah, but I'll throw it out there. Cause I just think it's that there's some great stuff in some other communities. You know, I love, I was interested in, I think the Lynn election results and they have like a live results show broadcasting live and they put the numbers up and it's just kind of a nice little instead of, least the last couple elections it's been like did Zack said that the put the post on Facebook for the election results it's a little more show a little more. Absolutely. And so you know I would love to see stuff like that obviously I. If I were to do it, people would say it's a biased program.

[Kevin Harrington]: So, and it probably would be so we're definitely to briefly piggyback on that we are definitely looking at opportunities whenever they present themselves to, you know, you know, bring things up a notch when we can with with the means that we have. We're speaking of upcoming programming way down the road. The Medford Malden Thanksgiving football game is going to be at Medford. So I wanted to use a phrase, I want to Cadillac it, I want to get as many student volunteers we get, get some students in the booth doing commentary, you know, not sure how much we'll be able to do that level. But yeah, try and take opportunities to be like, how can we kind of like, you know, bring this up a little bit, make it a little more special. whenever we can within our resources. So I appreciate the feedback. That's definitely something we wanna be open to. So if anyone watching out there wants to fill out the paperwork and come to the studio, sit in front of a table and talk about local politics, door's open. So.

[Nicole Morell]: Yeah, if you're watching right now, you're halfway there.

[Kevin Harrington]: Yeah, it's true.

[Zac Bears]: ESPN 15. All right, that's all I had.

[Adam Knight]: Thanks, Kevin.

[Nicole Morell]: Councilor Knight.

[Adam Knight]: Madam President, thank you very much. Kevin, thank you for being here. I just want to commend the work of Shane Colbert. The kid's unbelievable. He does a great job. He's an asset to the department. I mean, who would have thought that he was a high school senior up there every Tuesday night, you know, running the multimedia for us, as well as other meetings across the school district and out of the city. The kid's unbelievable. He's worth his weight in gold. And I just want to let you know what a great job he's doing as a supervisor.

[Kevin Harrington]: Absolutely. 100% agree. Thank you.

[Nicole Morell]: Any further questions on community media? Seeing none.

[Unidentified]: Thank you, everyone.

[Nicole Morell]: All right, we have parking and the historical commission. I'm not seeing Director Morrison on the call, Chief of Staff, Madam Chief of Staff. Will you be presenting on parking?

[Nina Nazarian]: Thank you. Let me contact our parking director. Hold on one moment, please.

[Nicole Morell]: Okay, we can also, we can take the historical commission, but then I also, I saw Ryan Hayward on, I know we got a letter, so if you want to just read the letter. He was on, he's no longer on.

[Zac Bears]: Well, maybe we could read the letter into the record at least.

[Nicole Morell]: Yeah, we're waiting. Nina's trying to track down Director Morrison for parking. So we're going to go. We'll go to the Historical Commission. Don't have anyone here from the Historical Commission at the time. We did get a letter from them that I can read into the record at this time.

[Zac Bears]: Summarize some of it was like lists of addresses. I don't know if we want to go that far.

[Nicole Morell]: I'll skip over that part.

[Zac Bears]: I don't think we need to get too involved with the Historical Commission.

[Nicole Morell]: Yeah, this email came in at 9.58 this morning. It came with I went to council, it should have gone to all of us, it came with a number of budget sheets. This is from Jennifer Keenan, the chair of the Medford Historical Commission. Regarding the Historical Commission FY23 increased budget request, dear Madam President, with regard to the proposed FY23 budget for the Medford Historical Commission, the requested increase is to provide matching funds for a survey and planning grant from the Massachusetts Historical Commission. The mayor is fully supportive of this annual funding and has requested an increase of $3,000 on our behalf. The city has accepted the survey and planning award and is committed to funding the project. The nominal increase reflects the rising cost of preservation work and every dollar goes to fairly compensate the consultant hired to undertake these valuable planning projects. You may not be aware, but the city of Medford is a certified local government for the communities with this designation and guarantees that a portion of state level funding for historic preservation will be passed along to applicants. This puts Medford in a small pool of competition, and we've consistently secured survey and planning grants since 2012. Awards from the Massachusetts Historical Commission total 125,000 to date. Survey and planning grant projects undertake research and documentation of the city's historic resources. Our dense landscape is a record of the past. It is changing every day, and it's important to capture a small amount of the best representative structures that reflect important moments in the cultural narrative. Moving neighborhood by neighborhood, the commission hires a paid consultant to select and record properties on state inventory forms. The process is overseen by the Massachusetts Historical Commission, and forms are made available online. These inventory forms are not just a window into the past, they're a valuable tool, they're used by the commission, by planning agencies, state agencies, and the general public. As a result of this work, we have added more than 1,000 inventory forms covering the neighborhoods of West Medford, Medford Square, East Medford, Wellington Hillside, South Medford, Winter Hill, and the Brickyard Slash Mystic Park. We have learned that there are less than 3000 historic structures sorry 3000 structures predating 1900s. These buildings are rare non renewable resource this documentation work allows us to not only understand their importance but to ensure their history is captured on paper in the hopes that may someday translate into additional recognition and protection. This year, the commission will hire a consultant to undertake work in Fulton Heights. The $35,000 S&P project requires $17,500 match. This is an increase of $1,500 from previous years. The grant is reimbursable. We are required to expend the amount before compensation to the Commonwealth. This doubles the amount required, thus reflecting the increase. The reason we cannot match these funds from our normal budget is that every year we spend 100% of our budget, which is allotted to demo, delay, administration, legal postings, and a handful of subscriptions to related organizations. We consistently spend our budget and do not expect a downturn in demand. Loss of funding would be detrimental to the ability to operate. We recommend you review our annual report for the prior year to see the full spread of activities. We hope this brief summary answers your questions. For additional information, if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at historicalcommission at medford-ma.gov. Sincerely, Jennifer N. Keenan, Chair, Medford Historical Commission.

[Adam Knight]: Madam President.

[Nicole Morell]: Councilor Knight.

[Adam Knight]: At this time last year, we posed the question to the Medford Historical Commission, how many homes have been saved and restored?

[Nicole Morell]: Here, Mike, if you can make it long.

[Adam Knight]: At this time last year, we were having these budget hearings and the question was posed to our historical commission, how many homes have been saved and restored to the historical condition? And the answer was zero. And then I asked, how many homes have been saved and restored since the enactment of the ordinance? Well, no, I said in the last 15 years, I believe was the question I asked. And the answer was zero. Our ordinance doesn't work, Madam President. All right, all it does is create demolition delays to put people that are willing to invest in this community in a position of financial hardship. Look at 16 Foster Court, for example, we had a developer that was willing to invest millions and millions of dollars into this community. He went before the Historical Commission. He was held up for 18 months. They tried to make his parcel a single home historic district. The place was an absolute disrepair, rubble. It was a junk heap. I was afraid to go in it, and we went in it. Couldn't even fit up the stairs. It was a nightmare. That parcel went through the demolition delay process of 18 months, went through an exercise before the city council, which The committee pretty much said it was because he wouldn't cooperate and do what we told him to do. So this was the action that we took as retribution. That parcel remains undeveloped, Madam President. Why? Because he lost his funding. So when we look at an opportunity, just like we had last night when the gentleman came and said, going to be able to generate $3 million in permitting fees and $2.9 million in new growth property tax to this community by a change in zoning and a local development. We had a small residential developer in this community that was willing to invest millions of dollars to create housing. But because of the action of the Historical Commission, costing the opportunity, and it cost this community that investment. And this is not uncommon. This is not uncommon. Said a gentleman by the name of James Calvi up here, the developer in the city for 25 years, small scale development, residential homes, not a millionaire, not one of those people that build high rises, someone that comes in and rehab homes, makes them better, improves our community, improves our curb appeal. Multiple deals lost because of the demolition delay of 18 months. because of the process that's in place. It's no longer a commission that focuses on preserving the historical, cultural, and political significance of homes in this community. Because if it were, Mike McGlynn's house would be historically significant. The home where the mayor grew up in, a former state rep, the longest serving mayor in the city of Medford, the longest serving mayor in the history of Massachusetts, that has political significance. A home where his father performed, served as mayor of this community, state representative, city councilor. Multiple high-level positions in government related to historic preservation for the Secretary of State. That house isn't historic, but Pacelli's is. The only thing I ever see historic in Pacelli's is the curtains up in the second floor apartment. That's the oldest thing in the building. There's nothing historically significant about it. But because of these actions of these small boards and commissions that are acting as a design review board, acting as a design review board and not as a commission to preserve historic, political, and cultural significant structures in this community, we're at a loss. We're at a loss. And quite frankly, I think the board is out of control. I would move to slash their budget in half. You see people that live in this community that are business owners. One comes to mind, one comes to mind, but I don't even want to say their name because, God forbid, they know that they're complaining. The Historical Commission knows they're complaining, then they're going to be subject. They're going to be subject to the whim. to the whim. If they want to find something historically significant, they will. I heard a story about a building that was being worked on. Then they thought it was the long lost schoolhouse. So they stopped all construction on the property. Oh, that was a schoolhouse that was over by the Cape and moved in 1911. And it kind of looks like that. So stop everything and let us look at it. Give me a break. Come on. We're messing with people's lives, people's livelihood. We're messing with jobs that are getting created in this community. And we're messing with growth. We're also messing with improvements, embeddements. And now it's my understanding that the commission's involved in interior demolition, interior reconstruction, placement of windows, types of construction materials being used. It's getting ridiculous. People want to invest. People want to spend their good, hard-earned money in this community to make it better. Let them. Let them.

[Nicole Morell]: I just want to note for clarity, although it's always very confusing, historic districts are under the historic district commission. Just, I know you did one more side just for clarity.

[Richard Caraviello]: Thank you, Madam President Council night is 100% right. All we've done is torture people who want to appeal, change the curb appeal of our city, but it's a card a funeral home, West Medford. that we're going on three years now, sitting there doing nothing. You held the guy up for 18 months. Are you doing, you know, we talk about affordable housing, all sorts of stuff. All you did was hold the guy up. Now the cost of lumber and services are through the roof. You got a guy in Boston, you held him up to your committee for six months. Now you're telling him he's gonna wait another 18 months because the six months you held him up doesn't count toward the 18 months. Councilor Naire, this is a group that's out of control in the city. We haven't saved one home. This council, I think in 2015, told them to go out and identify properties, areas of the city that are historical. And to this day, seven years later, they have not done it. And they keep throwing it back onto this group. It's their responsibility to go out and identify the properties that they think are historical, not for us. And then when people come to them, you want to sit there, like I said, want to torture them for 18 months so they can't do anything. This is why when you talk to people, nobody wants to come to the city of Medford to work, because we torture people who want to come here and do good things. We torture them. And it's not fair to them. You get these small guys that do the small projects, you kill them. They can't afford to hold onto this property for two years and wait while this group tries to figure out what it wants to do. If you drive by all around the city, you see these signs, you made them buy these big giant signs to put up for demolition. Again, these are houses that are poor curb appeal. Mr. Lebowski said during our zoning thing, if it's going to improve your community, then let it go through. He lives in the town. He says, I live in a teardown city of Concord. There's more historical homes in Concord than probably anywhere in the country. And they seem to manage to figure it out, but not us. We want to torture people, and that's why people don't want to come here and do things in our city. And we'll continue to do that until this group figures out, you're not saving anything. Nothing has been saved yet.

[Nicole Morell]: Thank you, Councilor Caraviello. Any further discussion? President Bears.

[Zac Bears]: Thank you, Madam President. I would just add, that I'm certain that there are ways that we can improve the process for the historic commission. I wanna delineate that I have found the historic district commission's actions to be pretty arbitrary. I mean, the historical commission for better or worse has a process. I think there's a clear disagreement with the process and its impact on the community, but there is some consistency to it. If someone waits six months to get heard by the historical commission and then they put an 18 month demo delay, I think the six months should count towards the 18 months. I don't know. And I know that. So I'm just saying, I think there's room here to have a discussion and make some changes around that. The historic district commission, if you watch some of their meetings, I mean, I'm getting calls from residents who are just trying to put a minor change in their home and they're getting panicked because the historic district commission As you noted, has not gone out and done its, its work to seek find historic districts around the city that are potentially there and put them in there looking at these single single family has a single home historic districts. Now I do know there are some people who. Like there are homeowners who have actually asked for their own home to become a single home historic district. I don't necessarily have a problem with that, but I just think that, and quite frankly, a piece of this is the membership. It's just the historic district commission, as far as I know, has been the same people for years and years and years and years. I think that they could benefit from new members, different perspectives. Obviously the mayor is the appointing authority, but so basically my whole point is here, I have some, I think there's room here for all of us to have a discussion about different changes we could make. And personally, I would start with the Historic District Commission, which I think is just kind of making arbitrary determinations that aren't even grounded in a process. Separately, I think there may be some adjustments to historic commission process that could be made to make things a lot better, but I will say they do seem to be detail oriented, maybe too detail oriented for some, but it isn't just at least random and arbitrary.

[Adam Knight]: Not even that, I mean, if you look at the meetings and you watch the meetings, they clearly say, we wanna slow you down. That's our goal. If we slow your project down we win. They say that that's not the legislative intent. When you read the ordinance, the ordinance says they'll help the owner find a buyer that will restore it. They don't do that. They punish the person that owns it by saying, show me your designs, and maybe we'll approve you. Show me your designs, and maybe we'll approve you. So either way, they're driving up your cost. You're either going to have to go to an architect and redesign your plans 27 times. Now, mind you, they have no, absolutely zero authority over the design of your building, number one. Number two, they have zero authority over zoning. So I can go show them a castle. They take the zoning board, the zoning board's gonna go, no, we're not letting you do that. So God forbid you wanted to knock a place down and build a place that needed a variance. How long would that take? How long would that take? That's why we can't build. That's why we see nothing happening. But this board is, in my opinion, out of control, out of control. I don't see any need or any desire, or it's not warranted an increase. We've seen their budget grow over the past three years, but we have not seen any successes. And for the previous two decades before that, none either. Why are we continuing to invest good money after bad on a process that clearly doesn't work? to keep the historical people happy and quiet because they got their money. We're in a huge budget crisis right now. The things that they're preventing from happening are the things we need, jobs and growth.

[Nicole Morell]: Thank you, Councilor Knight and Councilor Caraviello.

[Richard Caraviello]: Thank you, Madam President. As we mentioned, people, garages now. Garages are falling down and they can't repair, but I'm gonna say it. In 11 years on this council, one of the votes I regret making was the vote to increase the demolition delay from one year to 18 months. If I had my way, I would take that vote back now. Again, let's say I've made some votes that I regret, and that's one of the votes that I regret making on this council was giving them the 18 months because all of a sudden it's caused headaches for everybody in the community.

[Nicole Morell]: I think that's prevail. And yeah, I would agree with racism bears assessment where I think, you know, again watching me as I feel like the historic district commission has is definitely perhaps may have lost the thread at this point. I do think, you know, I think we're hearing from some of the same people I think like many things. There is the good intention as far as the demo delay, but like many things, the people who want to get around it will, the people who want to play nice are the ones who end up getting hurt in the process, the people who might not have the coffers for it. So I do agree that I think there is some improvement to be made in that whole process. And it's, you know, part of it is an ordinance that can be changed.

[Adam Knight]: And if you look at the penalties, Madam President, for knocking down a parcel, a residential parcel without a permit, what is it? Two years, you can't get a permit. Well, you already got me at 18 months. I might as well knock it down without a permit and then just wait yelping out the six months. Because if I have to wait six months to get heard, and then you tell me I gotta wait 18, there's 24 right there. Well, I can just knock the house down, sell the land, and now we got a new person there. No harm, no foul. They didn't do anything wrong. I'm gonna buy a piece of land. I'm kind of surprised someone hasn't picked up on that.

[Zac Bears]: Ask something good of me. No, no, no, I mean, you picked up on it, but I mean, pick up on it. That sounds like a business. There's an arbitrage opportunity there.

[Nicole Morell]: You're in a council meeting.

[Adam Knight]: That's two we came up with tonight.

[Nicole Morell]: So Councilor Knight, do you have a motion on the floor?

[Adam Knight]: At this point, we don't even have a budget on the floor. So I'm gonna wait till we get the full budget book and then I'm gonna reserve my recommendations for that.

[Nicole Morell]: Any further discussion on the historical commission? Seeing none, we will go back to Madam Chief of Staff. Do we have anyone from the parking department or will you be presenting that budget?

[Nina Nazarian]: Thank you, Madam President. Parking Director Morrison is on the call.

[Nicole Morell]: OK, great. Oh, there we go. Morrison, I see now. Director Morrison, would you like to just give us an overview of the budget that we're looking at? And then we can go around with questions. And I will ask you to unmute.

[Faye Morrison]: Hi.

[Nicole Morell]: Hello, we can hear you.

[Faye Morrison]: Can you hear me? Because I'm having a little trouble hearing you.

[Nicole Morell]: We can hear you.

[Faye Morrison]: Okay, great. I'm sorry, what was the question?

[Nicole Morell]: If you'd like to give us just an overview or highlights from the parking budget that we have before us, and then we will just have questions from the council and any members of the public.

[Faye Morrison]: Okay. So it's pretty basic. We based the budget pretty much on what we've spent to date and made some assumptions. I mean, the fees are pretty set. There's not much mystery here. So I'm happy to entertain any questions that you might have.

[Nicole Morell]: Thank you, Director Morrison. Do we have any questions from the council?

[Faye Morrison]: I'm sorry, I'm really having a hard time hearing.

[Nicole Morell]: We have a question from Vice President Bears. Thank you for the brief overview. Okay.

[Zac Bears]: Thank you, Madam President, and thank you, Director Morrison. I just have three questions. Sure. What was the, or, you know, do you have an estimate of the revenue that we will bring in in fiscal 2023 from the parking department?

[Faye Morrison]: No, there's no way I can give you an estimate on what revenue might be with less than a year of collection. Okay, because we've only been collecting like three months, that would be difficult. I mean, you could make some projections based on what we've collected so far, but I don't think that's a good way to do that type of thing, because you have no idea what will happen three or four months from now.

[Zac Bears]: Yep, I understand that makes sense to me. Do you. And again if you don't have this figure off the top of your head. If you could just share it with the city clerk later but could you just let us tell us potentially how much revenue we raised in, in the first quarter of this year.

[Faye Morrison]: Well, again, we weren't starting to raise any revenue until March.

[Zac Bears]: OK

[Faye Morrison]: So it wouldn't be a full first quarter of this year.

[Zac Bears]: Okay. All right, right. Well, then I will, I'll move on from that question. Okay.

[Faye Morrison]: I mean, I can tell you what we've raised so far. If you can hold on one second, I can get the clerk to grab that. Omar, Omar. Sure. Can you give me just a rough estimate of what we've raised so far? Okay, just give us a second he's going to bring up that screen for me and I can give you that I can give you that amount. Pretty quickly. I can answer your third question while we're waiting for that.

[Zac Bears]: Absolutely. Um, I noticed, just obviously the fiscal 2022 budget was, I think, was created before you were even here. We've made some changes since then. Just in terms of the staff changes, will the 13 positions included in this budget be sufficient for the department and how will that affect the customer service?

[Faye Morrison]: I think that right now we have, we can provide good customer service with the four clerks in the office. PCOs in the street and the three meter crew. Would I like to have more field staff? Obviously it would allow us to do a lot more, but I think that we're doing fine at this level. And I was comfortable with being asked to, you know, freeze on hiring for now. I think we're fine, but obviously we could always do a lot more if we had more people in the field.

[Zac Bears]: Great, thank you. And then just my last question is on training. I just noticed that there's not really a budget for training in here. Could you let us know a little bit about how you train your employees? And is there any additional resources that maybe are needed for that?

[Faye Morrison]: Well, the beauty of that is that the company I hired to do our command center, GTECNA, has done all of the training for the clerks and for the parking control specialists. So there are monies in there for training. It's just not a separate budget item. It's part of the package that we purchased.

[Zac Bears]: Great. Those are my questions.

[Faye Morrison]: And that is ongoing, everyone.

[Zac Bears]: Excuse me? Great.

[Faye Morrison]: Sorry, I was just saying that that was all my questions right and as a hold on one second I'm gonna have that figure for you and as technology as we have had to add some more technology to the system that has continued the training. So, the clerks do it probably more often than anyone else because they're the ones handling the command center. But as things come up and we add different systems that help the one that we originally started, work more smoothly, as we're trying to tailor residents in the city, that will cause more training. But that is something that we have enough people where two folks can be training while two folks are running the office. So we haven't had any issues with that so far.

[Zac Bears]: Great. Thank you. And if you can share that revenue number when whenever I sure will he's pulling it up now.

[Richard Caraviello]: Great, thank you.

[Nicole Morell]: Any other questions, Councilor Caraviello.

[Richard Caraviello]: Thank you, Madam President. Hey, you have the sixth largest budget in the city of Medford. Are we going to cover our budget this year with with with revenue.

[Faye Morrison]: I just I think I just answered that question I can't tell you what revenue we're going to take in in advance of actually doing.

[Richard Caraviello]: You've got a budget of $922,000. Do we plan on collecting at least $922,000 to cover budget? Because if not, we should have just kept Park Medford here. So you don't know if we're going to make budget?

[Faye Morrison]: We've only been collecting money since March, City Councilor. You're asking us to continue to the future. I cannot do that.

[Nicole Morell]: I do see Chief of Staff Nazarian has her hand up. Nina has her hand up.

[Nina Nazarian]: Thank you, Madam President. I was just going to see if we could refer to Finance Director Dickinson. I believe there have been projections on this to the degree that that may be helpful. Obviously, we are still going to be seeing and tracking revenue, but.

[Nicole Morell]: Director Dickinson, do you have any projections you can share? You can come to the mic. I know. Even if it's just no, you can come to the mic.

[Bob Dickinson]: I'm afraid I don't have firm projections on this. We expected to take in more than $900,000. not for this year, obviously, but for next year.

[Richard Caraviello]: We're not, you know, we're gonna make budget this year.

[Bob Dickinson]: Well, so we haven't spent all that budget this year. So I could get those numbers together. I actually was just trying to run it on my computer to figure out where we are. Revenues are, because of what's been going on in the finance department, revenues aren't up to date and posting so getting the actual numbers i'd have to go to the treasurer's. software program to. see what she's brought in for for parking revenue so far, and I would probably take to just started in March, I would take April and May and do protections, based on those two months on what we might be able to we don't know what we've collected in April. I do not know that right now. I would have to look and actually vet those numbers before I can make a firm projection on.

[Adam Knight]: Do we have the dollar amount of tickets that was issued? Say there was 650 tickets that were issued that totals $132,000. Some people pay them, some people don't, but then we'll at least have an idea of what the potential monthly revenue generation. is and then we can do the math and I had to multiply that by 12 and then assume that in the winter it's going to be worse and the summer might be a little bit better give a take and you know we'll have an idea what we're working with but for us to raise that much money I think in the next 15 months I think director Morrison is I have that figure for you now if you're ready you do have that number uh yep we're ready when you are yeah since March 160,000

[Faye Morrison]: That's in pay by phone fees, credit card fees for transactions, permits, that's for everything.

[Nicole Morell]: And that's revenue since March 1st?

[Faye Morrison]: Since March 1st. Between March 1st and March 9th, not all of the systems went on at the same time. We were having some problems with the merchant processor, but that's approximately about the time we started collecting from every source.

[Nicole Morell]: And that goes through the end of May or today.

[Faye Morrison]: No, that would go through the end of May, the end of May.

[Nicole Morell]: Okay, so for March 3 at the end of May 160,000.

[Richard Caraviello]: I'm not finished. Is there a reason why we're not accepting credit cards for these.

[Faye Morrison]: I don't know why you don't accept credit cards at City Hall. You don't know why your department's not collecting credit cards, not my department, sir, as I've explained before when I would have to have a credit card platform for this department to use it. In order for us to collect with a credit card, the city, i.e. the treasurer's office would have to set that platform up, not this office.

[Zac Bears]: We can't independently set up a financial office. Point of information.

[Nicole Morell]: Your bank would do it for you.

[Zac Bears]: Point of information. Director Morrison, we just heard from the treasurer Basically, fingers are getting pointed across the hall. Maybe if the chief of staff could speak to how we can get this system implemented.

[Richard Caraviello]: I get the treasurer not taking credit cards because they're big ticket items. These are $25 tickets, $50 tickets. Every city in this country.

[Zac Bears]: I just asked the treasurer this question, why don't we have the system? And she said, it's not my problem. And we just asked the parking director, and the parking director said it's not. that that that parking department can't do that so maybe the chief of staff could speak to that and people take credit guys and the guys madam chief of staff could you is there any insight you can provide related to that

[Nina Nazarian]: Thank you, President Morell and to Councilor Caraviello and Vice President Bears. I guess the best thing I can say is that we have heard comments and the importance of credit cards being brought in as a form of accepting payment. And it's something that we will be looking at over the course of the next year. I cannot say where that responsibility lies at this point in time. I don't know if, I, I don't know off the top of my head, which department would have to go through the procedures and where we would need to see some of all, they all take credit cards when you walk up to the window.

[Richard Caraviello]: They actually have a window. That's I love with the people so so we so we don't have to go down on our knees to listen to what's being said. That's, that's another problem. You've got a window there that nobody can hear anything, and it's not level with people, so people have to bend down to talk to the people on the other side of the glass there. That's not right for a lot of senior citizens in this community who go up there and they have a problem. I hear that all the time.

[Nicole Morell]: I understand your frustration. I think we're looking at issues that predate Director Morrison, particularly.

[Richard Caraviello]: No, that's not predated for Director Morrison. The window was put in while she was there.

[Faye Morrison]: President Morell, if I may. I was here, City Councilor, without my consultation.

[Nina Nazarian]: President Morell, if I may, that window was put in at the direction of the former Building Commissioner Moki, I believe and I understand that that window to be at the appropriate accessibility height.

[Richard Caraviello]: Okay. Thank you, that's it for the moment.

[Nicole Morell]: Vice President Bears.

[Zac Bears]: And I just want to say thank you, Chief of Staff for taking on that there will be, looking into the credit card processing over the next year, I just want to note that, you know, when one person says it's them and then the other person says it's them, I think that's a time to just step in and maybe say, we're going to decide at the top level, how we're going to implement this and then, and then implement it. And, you know, obviously I, I'm not. I don't work for the executive branch of the city government. So, but but that's just a It's hard to hear, we ask one department, they say it's the other department, we ask one department, they say it's the other department. So if you could just report to us as you work through this in the next year to let us know, and hopefully let us know as quickly as possible how it's gonna work out and who's going to be putting in the credit card processing. Thank you.

[Nina Nazarian]: Thank you, President Morell, if I just may. Absolutely, through you to Vice President Bears, My interest is to determine what best management practices are in other communities to determine which department it would fall under as the most appropriate department. That was the reason for my comment.

[Zac Bears]: Thank you, that makes perfect sense, thank you.

[Nicole Morell]: Yeah, and just my request is whatever department we decide that is, if we could provide them the support to get that done because we're really inhibiting our residents.

[Kit Collins]: Understood.

[Nicole Morell]: Councilor Collins.

[Kit Collins]: Thank you, President Morell. I just wanted to thank Director Morrison for being here at the, excuse me, for the overview. I think that obviously it's difficult to present a comprehensive overview when the department is so very fledgling. I know there's been a lot of hard work done in spinning up a whole new department from nothing. And of course, it's hard to make substantial projections because of that. Personally, I've been excited about the deprived. deprivatization of the parking department for a long time. I'm confident that, you know, over the longterm, we'll see some returns here. I also just wanted to note, I think that in all the hard work that's been going into just beginning this department from the ground level, I don't think that there's been really capacity or time yet to implement any of the recommended changes from the commission on parking policy and enforcement. And I'm also curious to see if when we're able to consider possibly implement some of those recommendations, if that could positively affect revenue for that department as well. So I just wanted to make those comments for the record. Thank you again, Director Morrison.

[Nicole Morell]: Thank you, Councilor Collins. Vice President Bears.

[Zac Bears]: Thank you, Madam President. I have a question for Director Dickinson. Just a quick question, Bob, if you don't mind. Was any parking revenue built into the local receipts number that we got in the presentation that had the revenue, the presentation from last Tuesday?

[Bob Dickinson]: There were, basically no.

[Nina Nazarian]: OK

[Bob Dickinson]: Um, there were some numbers that I was just selling the other Councilor that I need to review all of our, my assumptions on 2022 revenue when I'm looking, putting together the, what I expect the recap will look like in 2023 or this fall. Um, some of those numbers, I, I, I tried to come up with the biggest number that I could comfortably say that I could support. And none of those categories had parking in it. So I will obviously, when I re-vet those numbers, I will be looking at the parking revenues. I'll ask parking how many tickets have gone out, the dollar value of those tickets. Because obviously, if you start in March, people take a while, I know I take a while to pay my parking tickets. So the actual revenue that's coming yet, there's obviously going to be a lag.

[Kevin Harrington]: Wi.

[Bob Dickinson]: So that way we can get firmer numbers, I can get number up to date numbers from the treasurer on how much we've actually received, etc, etc, etc. And then come to a more knowledgeable number for you guys.

[Zac Bears]: Okay, yeah, that's helpful just to know that it's not, it's not baked into the numbers that we have right now. That doesn't mean there may be doesn't mean that the local receipts, since you said you've estimated a pretty high, those may be a little bit less so maybe we're not just all getting net net positive from all the parking revenue I understand that. And I just wanted to clarify just one other thing you said you noted. that the information is in the treasurer system, but it hasn't made to the finance system. And that's because we're using all these multiple systems that you mentioned to us the other day. Is that correct?

[Kevin Harrington]: Yes.

[Zac Bears]: All right. So I just want to, to be honest, My small piece of advice would be maybe every time that you come up here in the questions about that, just remind us that we're using several systems and they don't communicate with each other, because I think that helps us.

[Bob Dickinson]: Actually, just today, I went through exactly how cash receipts come from the software system that the treasury uses and get uploaded into the admin system and how that actually works. I won't bore you with it, but it's changing. We're not going to do it. There's got to be a better way to do that. So it's just needlessly redundant. It takes an awful lot of time. And that should be seamless.

[Zac Bears]: Great. OK, thank you. And I just give that advice because it'll always help the conversation for us to remember the situation.

[Bob Dickinson]: No, it will come up all by itself.

[Zac Bears]: Okay, good. Thank you. Well, not so good, but I'm glad that we'll be hearing about it. Thank you.

[Nicole Morell]: Chief of staff has her hand up, Madam Chief of staff.

[Nina Nazarian]: Thank you, President Morell. I just wanna mention that I think we should probably follow up and get back to the council on this question about revenue for the parking budget, because perhaps I misunderstood, but I was under the impression that we did build in some numbers. If we could get back to the city council on that, I just wanted to put that on your radar.

[Nicole Morell]: Thank you. Any further discussion on the parking budget? Seeing none. Thank you, Director Morrison. That concludes the budgets we have before us tonight. We did table veterans on Saturday because we have been meeting for four hours and the chair of the veteran subcommittee Wasn't there, do we wanna take that back up or save it for a future date? Councilor Caraviello?

[Zac Bears]: I would defer to Councilor Caraviello.

[Nicole Morell]: Do you wanna take, we tabled veterans on Saturday because it was at the end of the meeting and you, do you wanna do it now or do you wanna do? Chief of staff Nazarian, would it be you who's gonna speak on veterans?

[Nina Nazarian]: Yes, I'd be happy to President Morell.

[Nicole Morell]: Okay, we can take that. I'll give you I'll give folks a minute just to find it.

[Nina Nazarian]: Just going to close my window for a quick second. I don't know if you guys are getting any feedback, so just hold on one moment. I'm ready whenever the city council is present.

[Richard Caraviello]: Yes.

[Nicole Morell]: Yeah, I was giving folks a chance to pull it up. I realized, I don't think we ever got a hard copy we have in our email.

[Richard Caraviello]: I have a hard copy.

[Nicole Morell]: You have a hard copy? Okay, great. Does everyone else have everything they need?

[Richard Caraviello]: Great. I just have a few questions. Just a few questions on this.

[Nicole Morell]: Go ahead, Councilor Carvill.

[Richard Caraviello]: I'm neither I know you and I had met with a couple of people for the position. Have you decided on any one of those two for the position yet.

[Nina Nazarian]: President Morell, through you to Councilor Caraviglia, the mayor, yes, the mayor has appointed, and we're gonna be sending out an announcement very soon. We're excited to announce that Jeremy Johns has joined the city as the next veterans director. Delighted and very much appreciate your insight, Councilor Caraviglia, in particular, because there's- I'm sorry?

[Richard Caraviello]: Was that the second person we interviewed.

[Nina Nazarian]: Yes, correct.

[Richard Caraviello]: Yeah, he was he was abused, but he was a very good person and I'm happy that we hired him.

[Nina Nazarian]: Thank you for your support and in particular, thank you for your information during that. Yeah, as a matter of fact, he actually. We were happy to say that Jeremy was able to begin this past Monday, but because of Darlene White's quick information, we realized that there was a conference that would expedite and assist Jeremy in the process to be able to get the necessary certifications and access. So Jeremy's actually presently at a conference right now and has been since Monday and will be in the office first thing tomorrow. So his first day of work was Monday, but first day in the office will be Thursday.

[Richard Caraviello]: Excellent. He was a very good person. Did he agree to the amount in the budget, the salary?

[Nina Nazarian]: Yes. As a matter of fact, I believe we adjusted this budget accordingly, but I will triple check that.

[Richard Caraviello]: Thank you very much for hiring him. He was a good person.

[Nina Nazarian]: And thank you for your support in that process.

[Richard Caraviello]: And that's about it for me.

[Nicole Morell]: Any other questions on the veterans budget?

[Justin Tseng]: I'm also happy to hear that we have a veteran service director. My question is somewhat more specific. You might not know about it, Chief of Staff Nazarian, but a bunch of students at the CCSR, the Center for Citizenship and Social Responsibility at the high school, talked to me about a project that they were working on with a former veteran service director, and they wanted to make sure that they, the city had agreed to work on them, but it was kind of put on hold. for a little bit, and they wanted to know that they would receive some funding in this budget next year for their plaque project, which to go into a little bit of description about is basically they wanted to have short biographical plaques for veterans who served at Medford and to put them around town squares named after veterans. I was wondering if you knew anything about if they would secure that funding, if that funding would still go through this year?

[Nina Nazarian]: President Morell, through you to Councilor Tseng, I don't have any information on that, but I would, if you're so willing, I would suggest that if you have a contact there, putting them in touch with Veterans Director Johns and then asking them to go through the process. And if there's something that the city administration needs to do, we'll be happy to look into it and work cooperatively the best obviously we can.

[Richard Caraviello]: Thank you, Councilor Tseng. He's during our interview, he did seem like he was going to be very community oriented person.

[Nicole Morell]: So I was I was happy with any further discussion from the council. Seeing none, this concludes the veterans budget includes the budgets before us tonight. I just want to note before we adjourn that the meeting for the budget meeting for tomorrow has been canceled, we will be taking schools on Tuesday to allow the council to review the school budget that was delivered to us today so that will be moving to Tuesday to allow time for that. The police budget and remaining any remaining budgets will be scheduled for Wednesday.

[Richard Caraviello]: Can I have a hard copy because my printer at home, it'll cost me $80 in toner.

[Nicole Morell]: Can we expect hard copies of the school budget?

[Nina Nazarian]: Yes, it's my understanding. Thank you, President Morell. It's my understanding that the school department will be printing them beginning tomorrow. I will check on when the ETA would be for when the budget books would arrive. And I think my understanding is there's a lot of documentation. So obviously none of you would want to print them on your home printers. No one should expect that.

[Nicole Morell]: Thank you. Further discussion, anything else? Do I have a motion to adjourn? I have a motion of Councilor Caraviello to adjourn. All those in favor? All those opposed? Meeting is adjourned.
