Se konsa, kounye a, mwen ta renmen prezante zanmi m 'Roy Belson.
[Belson]: Nice to see everybody. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to say a few things. And hopefully, what I express will help you understand what's going on. Obviously, I'm here to share my perspectives and my thoughts about the upcoming questions on the November ballot, especially those that affect public education. So while I'm no longer the superintendent of schools, I'm in my seventh year of retirement or semi-retirement, I still stay very aware of education items, both in the community, the state, nation, and it's very enlightening to see what people are doing around the commonwealth. I spent 50 years in Medford public education, 23 years as superintendent, And I also served at different times as the budget director, the curriculum director, and the personnel administrator, as well as a teacher. So I care deeply about what happens in our schools and our community. I'm not here tonight to criticize the school administration. I know how hard they work. I know the challenges that they face. And I know that some of the things are beyond their control. I have always believed, and I still do, that schools deserve solid levels of funding and that the budget process must promote and support quality programming, stability, and predictability. Budget development must be resourceful and creative. It should not be a destabilizing force, exercise, and create uncertainty and conflict. And I think that's what's happened in the last couple of years. Yes, there will be from time to time differences among officials, educators, constituents, but at all times, they should be based on the facts, on available resources, best practices, and the needs of students and their families, as well as the community at large. The current override ballot questions, initiatives, and two of them in education, and one, a debt exclusion for the fire department, Call for, if you will, in the school department, a $7 million hike. You had a half a million dollars for the DPW at 7.5. This is a property tax levy. This request is based upon the argument that the school system has been perpetually in a structural deficit, and it's not true. The pertinent questions are these. Is it true that we're in a deficit? How does Medford compare with other communities around us? Are there good alternatives available to meet our needs? Is this a one-time request or will there be another one, a larger request in the near future? And I think you know the answer to that. What is the real impact on the Medford taxpayer? And does the voting public truly understand the pros and cons? And has there been sufficient information and time for the public to make an informed decision? So let's take a look and let's consider the following. The last two years relied heavily on the use of federal ARPA and ESSER funds. They were put out there because of the COVID crisis. It was well known that when these funds were used up, there would be a need for the city to sustain staff and programs with local and state revenues. Otherwise, there would be undesirable cuts to program and personnel. So was this necessary? When the budget process took place in the last year, everybody knew that those funds had to be replaced. And those funds enabled the city to build up a free cash reserve that is three times what has ever been in place. Almost at this point in time, $35 million. And if that was the case, was it necessary? And did the mayor really fail to provide full funding consistent with the school committee's request? when there's a significant amount of free cash available to the city, much higher than the amount available in previous years. The school administration, by law, is required to ask, and the school committee as well, for an amount sufficient to support the schools under Proposition 2 1⁄2. It's their legal request to do that. The mayor or the city manager in the past, when 2 1⁄2 passed, had the bottom line, and the city council can only approve or cut what the mayor provides. So it's not simple. The amount of money reported to DOR of free cash was $25 million in 2004. And as I indicated, they added another $9 million or thereabouts in the current fiscal year. Why, given the often repeated mantra of the mayor, transparency. Interesting word. And the city's financial director, did they fail to provide a clean and complete report on the city's financial position to the city council and the school committee? I think the answer's simple. The answer is that they wanted to leverage a crisis to create a need for an override, because you're in a situation where you don't have it, you're threatening cuts to important services, and if you don't give me the money, we're gonna have to do drastic measures. This is not Proposition 2 1⁄2. In 1981, 1982, I was in the school system. I was working with the superintendent's office, and the budget of the city of Medford for the schools was $19.4 million. That year, we had to cut $3.2 million. That's a cut. 150 people got laid off. That was difficult, very difficult. We are not in that situation right now. We are not in that situation. When the 2024 DOR, Department of Revenue Tax Recap Report is studied, and I did that, There are clear underestimates of revenue amounts when compared with 2023, specifically by almost 15%. So in other words saying, if investment income was X, it was 14% less when they were projecting their revenue, almost $18 million. Why create a crisis? Before you ask the public for an override, should you not first use the obvious resources available? You can always go back later on and say, you know, we used up our resources. But when you have them, why won't you use them? Let's talk about the tax rate. The Medford tax rate is low. The residential tax rate is low comparatively to area communities. Nothing wrong with that. I don't think anyone feels like it has to be number one, the highest tax rate in the Commonwealth. So it's not a bad thing when affordability for housing and other needs is challenging. If the overrides and debt exclusion pass, taxes will increase, I think, by at least 10%. especially when you include the 2.5% statutory increase that happens virtually every year. And what about the impact of re-evaluation? You know what's going on right now. They're checking your houses out. And by the way, if you haven't noticed, your house is worth more than it was when you bought it, in most cases. And when they reassess it, they're going to reassess it and the taxes are going to go up. And on top of that, you're probably going to pay a little bit more for water and sewer. And when you add it all together, if you have to take an equity loan, you're gonna pay a hell of a lot more interest than you might like. And if you're a new person wanting to buy a home, the mortgage rates are still at 6.2%, and even if it goes down to 5%, it's a hell of a lot higher than it was when people refinanced a few years ago. And what about renters? Some of these people will never have a chance. They just won't be able to to get in and the landlords are going to pass on the rent to their tenants. So, that affects people too. When you think about it, there's also a deduction, tax deduction limit. You used to be able to take your income tax and your house property tax and interest. You can't do that anymore in the current rule. So, you can't even deduct some of the stuff that you used to be able to do before. Some people can get around it for various reasons, Not everybody. If you look at the age factor in the community, 22% of Medford residents are over the age of 60. 14% are 70 or more. A lot of these people are on fixed incomes. They don't have another alternative to go to. And they're probably supporting their children, their grandchildren, and everything else like that as well. So a hit like this is really significant. By the way, as the high school project moves forward, and it's in a planning stage right now, undoubtedly there will be another override request, which isn't out there right now. That'll make three override requests. The two that are there now, and the one that might come up, plus the debt exclusion, in the very near future. Given the cost of a rebuild, or renovation, this will be the biggest number that you've ever seen. The SBA reimbursement rate is not known at this time. It will only cover certain costs. Not everything is eligible. If you look at high schools that have been built or renovated in recent times, you're talking somewhere in the vicinity of $200 million to $400 million to redo the high school. We've got vocational shops and other things like that that have to be preserved. That's an expensive thing. And if you maybe get 35, 40%, not getting the 90% that we got for the schools, the K through 12 schools that we got several years ago with Rick as the chairperson of the building committee at that time. And we, by the way, sold the old schools so that we actually made money. Don't tell anybody. You don't get that now. So you're gonna be talking about potentially 100 to $200 million of local assessment over and above. That will impact taxes on top of the early override assessments. And by the way, if the override passes in November, you will see the increase on your January 2025 tax bill. You're not gonna wait a year to build it up. You're gonna see it in January. It's only a few months away. Now one of the arguments that comes around is that somehow Medford salaries and cost per pupil are not competitive. Now as a educator, I think I started off with this, I want every nickel I can get for the schools. I mean, I'd be less than honest if I didn't tell you that I think the schools deserve every nickel we can give them, and we have plenty of needs. But no one gets everything they want, and no school system is able to do that, and no community is able to do that. Well, let's take a look at the Medford Public Schools financials. And this is according to the latest Department of Elementary and Secondary Education statistics. The state average per pupil is $19,714. Medford is currently spending $21,372. Arlington is spending $18,615. Malden is spending $17,428. Melrose is spending $15,540. Peabody is spending $16,996, and I can go on and on. Now, someone can say, well, there are, Mystic Valley, by the way, one of the charter schools that sucks away dollars from our budget, is paying, is spending $14,167. Now, there are places, Somerville 23958, we just built a building so you can see where, that's involved. And by the way, if you want to chase Cambridge, Cambridge is spending $36,712. Of course, Cambridge has got a property base that's incredible. And Burlington is $25,297. And by the way, if we were still sending kids to Minuteman, the cost would be $34,176. And if we continued to send 50 kids there like we did when we cut it off, we'd be pushing $2 million a year of money out of our pocket. And that's why we rebuilt the vocational school. And people argued about, why are you not sending the kids to Minuteman? Because they're sucking dollars out of Medford. And we had a right to rebuild our own school and run our own programs at a far less cost. So, then the question comes about teacher salaries. Where's Charlene? Charlene? All right, Charlene, don't take offense. Okay. If you look at the average salary for the Medford teachers, average salary, and this is latest numbers, you know, obviously it's gone up a little bit. The average salary is $88,179. That's the statistic. If you're on the top step, 10 years, a master's plus 60, this year fiscal 25, you're going to make $111,000. In Arlington, the top salary is $83,466. I mean the average salary. Melrose is $76,369. Beverly is $84,765. Malden is $83,366. Marblehead is $84,365. Mystic Valley, the charter school, is at $73,823. Prospect Hill at $78, another charter school. And so on and so forth. Our teachers deserve good pay, but they don't leave because they can make $2,000 or $3,000 more in another community. They leave because they're afraid they might get their job cut. They leave because they don't have good benefits. And in Medford, health benefits and other benefits contractually are outstanding. There are a lot of reasons why people stay in the Medford public schools or come to us. Because our benefits are good. They're very good, by the way. and our salary is competitive. There is a teacher shortage in the country, so, you know, Medford's gonna be affected by that. There are a lot of people not going into education right now because they're feeling that it's too challenging. But people will stay with us for stability. So the argument that somehow we're not competitive is not real. Now, what are the alternatives besides free cash? Well, first of all, Medford's new growth is in the tank. We're on any building permits currently in place at City Hall right now. And unless you're really big on a beer haul, that's the only thing that I know about. How much are we leaving on the table? How can we grow the tax base rather than increase taxes on residents? We're not doing it. We're not doing it. Don't penalize the school system operations by building up huge reserves in free cash. Don't underestimate revenues. Let's strive for affordability. And in the request for the override, there's these general categories, teacher salaries, this, that, and the other thing. Be specific. The people who are voting for this are voting against it, need to know where every dollar is going. They don't want to just hear it's going into a tank someplace that hopefully will support the kinds of things that we consider to be important. General categories don't cut it. The override vote is less than two months away. And residents, citizens, are already voting or are going to start voting very soon. So besides the general information on the web, so the city's web, What does the average citizen know about the need and the impact? Probably not a lot. Many of you will vote by mail at the general election for the president and senator, and local races are at a minimum. So there aren't a lot of people who might even come out because, you know, they'll vote for the president and that's it. The Secretary of State, I'm going to pull this out. Most of you probably got this. Secretary of State sends out this every year, every year there's an election. And in it, not only are the candidates identified, but the ballot issues, there's five ballot issues statewide. They're identified with pros and cons and research so that you as a voter can actually decide based on some information based on partisans born against and research whether to vote for a particular item. I haven't seen anything in this city that would even comes close to that. You have a lot of people who will go in there that day and they will not know the impact of what they're doing. Some of them will think they're voting for $7 million for a new high school. They're gonna be surprised. Many will vote by mail. So, is this the right way to request an override from our taxpayers? Our city deserves, our citizens deserve more transparency than we're currently seeing. Our citizens need more information on the city's finances. The city council needs more information on the city's finances. They don't have it. How many times, and we go to Rick or to anyone else, George, how many times have you asked the city's finance director, is he still reconciling some previous year? Well, they're working on it. No one wants to tell anybody what's really there. And that's a problem. So people will vote without really knowing. Our citizens need to know that there will be a likely third override coming to them in the future for that high school. Now, whether it's a rebuild or it's a renovation, it's going to be expensive. It's gonna be expensive. And SBA will not give us 90 cents on the dollar like they did way back when. And we will not have buildings to sell off to pick up the rest and make money. Our citizens need to be assured, need to be assured that the school budget will not be shortchanged. That any municipal service will not be shortchanged. When legitimate resources are available without an override. Let's not leverage the override. Let's not create a crisis in order to get an override through. If there's a need for more money down the road for operations, after the high school project becomes known and the reimbursement rate, well, okay, put it out there and people can talk about it. But right now, you haven't got all the information. Right now, you don't know the big ticket item coming down the road. You haven't got any idea. At least you don't, many of you don't. And it's important that you do. Because too many people out there are going to be pushed out of their homes. Too many people are going to not be able to afford to come to Medford. And our school system will be played with. You don't leverage the school system. You make sure, you don't leverage the fire department, the police department. You don't leverage the, you make sure they have what they need to do the job. And if you've got the resources available, then do it. And if you really, really need something, then you make the case for it. And in my opinion, the case hasn't been made. The case hasn't been made. Thank you for listening.
[Scarpelli]: Mwen onore ke yon zanmi nan nou ki te travay di pou ponpye yo pran sibvansyon ak pran presyon an nan sitwayen nou yo nan baz taks nou an, sekretè pou sendika nou an, Danielle Masolino se isit la. Byenveni, Danielle.
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, tankou George te di, mwen se sekretè a Inyon pou ponpye yo. Mwen menm tou, um, mwen pa jis yon sekretè. Mwen aktyèlman gen yon ponpye. Mwen travay moute nan, um, um, mwen moute nan wotè yo kounye a, aktyèlman. Padon. Se konsa, um, Mwen isit la ki reprezante sendika nou an sou non sijè sa a. Li evidan, mwen sèten anpil nan ou konnen ke, tankou George te di, nou te gen yon anpil nan esè ak tribilasyon nan vil la dènyèman. Apre sa, mwen te tande nan men kèk sitwayen, ou konnen, nou te gen diskisyon. Avèk moun mwen te vini nan tout sa yo panse ke nou ka jis pa vle sa a katye jeneral oswa nou pa renmen tou sa ki ap vini soti nan City Hall ki ak konsiderasyon nou paske nou se nan akwochaj ak majistra a kounye a epi ki se 100% pa vre. Nou pa ta renmen pa gen anyen plis pase yon nouvo katye jeneral paske si okenn moun swa te mache nan katye jeneral aktyèl nou an oswa si ou te wè nenpòt nan medya nou yo ke nou afiche sou entènèt se nan move fòm ak nou ta Nou se nan bezwen dezespere nan katye jeneral la. Sa yo te di, nou pa kanpe dèyè esklizyon nan dèt ke yo te pote nan sitwayen yo paske, pou plizyè rezon, sitou paske sa ki ke yo te woule soti ak sa ki esklizyon nan dèt ta dwe peye pou se yon plan konsepsyon grav mank pou katye jeneral nou an, pou depatman nou an. Nou santi nou kòm yon sendika ke nou pa kapab, nan konsyans bon, mande sitwayen yo peye pou yon bilding $ 30 milyon dola ki pa menm satisfè bezwen debaz nan depatman nou an. Ak Malerezman, li pa satisfè bezwen nou yo, sitou paske nou te konplètman eskli nan pwosesis la nan konsepsyon bilding lan. Aktyèlman, yo espesyalman te di ke nou pa te pèmèt yo patisipe nan pwosesis la. Menm si nan depatman an, moun ki ap viv nan bilding lan, nou te vini ansanm, nou te fòme yon komite, nou diskite bezwen yo nan depatman an ak sa nou bezwen kòm yon depatman pwal pi devan. Pou kapab grandi ak sipòte sitwayen yo kòm lavil la ap grandi bò kote nou yo. E tankou mwen te di, yo konplètman respekte nenpòt bagay nou te di. Yo pa janm mande pou opinyon nou yo ak yo aktyèlman te di chèf la fin vye granmoun, ansyen chèf la Friedman, ke li pa t 'fè nou konnen nenpòt ki enfòmasyon ke li te gen sou bilding sa a. Lè nou te finalman jwenn yon chèz ak chèf la nan anplwaye tounen nan ete dènye a diskite sou sa ki te ale sou, nou te di yo ke yo te ap resevwa pare yo vèt limyè yon pwojè paske yo te panse li te bèl bagay. Se konsa, nou te gen yon chans pran yon gade vit nan sa ki te ale sou epi nou jwenn yon bilding ke li pa t 'kapab nan Sipòte nenpòt kwasans nan depatman nou an nan tout. Tankou mwen te di, nou pa t 'pral kapab ajoute nenpòt ki plis konpayi ki, ou konnen, ta ka fè siplemantè, ou konnen, ak ladrès siplemantè oswa nenpòt bagay tankou sa. Li te sèlman sa ki te kounye a la. Nou menm tou nou te jwenn yon bilding ki te pral gen chanm ki te Nou rele yo doub lokatè. Se konsa, kounye a nou ap viv nan chanm ke mwen, nou dòmi nan chanm bunk ak plizyè moun. Tankou li, ou konnen, tankou kan ete. Um, se konsa bilding sa a te resevwa bati ak nou te aktyèlman pral dòmi nan chanm ansanm ankò. Mwen pa konnen si nenpòt nan ou ale lakay ou ak kòlèg travay ou ak dòmi ak yo, men li la, li nan yon ti kras etranj. Um, mwen konnen. Um, Men, sa a jis te fason ke li te nan sèvis la dife. Epi sa a, se sèvis dife nan tout peyi a. Li te toujou tankou sa nan tan lontan an. Men, evidamman, fwa yo ap chanje. Bagay yo ap chanje. Nou gen fanm. Nou gen tout mache nan lavi vle ponpye kounye a, ki se gwo. Epi li bèl yo wè depatman divèsifye. Se konsa, ke yo te di, nou bezwen pou kapab akomode sa. Ak konsepsyon nan bilding ke nou te montre ete dènye aktyèlman pa t 'akomode sa. Epi li te aktyèlman, pou mwen pèsonèlman, li te yon ti kras boulvèsan. E sa ki te desann nan twalèt, chanm bunk, douch, kazye chanm, tout bagay. Se konsa, tout bagay te pral fè tankou yon espas pataje. Se konsa, youn nan lòt enkyetid yo gwo ke nou te se, ou konnen, sendika a dife te gen lè estasyon lapolis la moute. Mwen si ke nou tout konnen ke tout sa ki te fini ale nan yon espas ki te kote ansyen gwo kay won fòmasyon nou an te nan. Nou te fache anpil sou pèdi gwo kay won fòmasyon nou an. Mwen vle di, nou afiche sou li toupatou, e mwen panse ke nou ta chwazi li nan ak tout bagay. Se konsa, nou te pwomèt, espesyalman pa majistra sa a, e nou te pwomèt pa ansyen majistra a, ke nou te ale nan jwenn yon gwo kay won fòmasyon. Men, lè nou te wè plan an konsepsyon pou katye jeneral yo nouvo, ki sa nou te jwenn li te pa gen anyen plis pase yon eskalye, epi yo te rele li yon gwo kay won fòmasyon. Pou nou, fòmasyon gwo kay won, gwo kay won fòmasyon fin vye granmoun nou an, nou te ka aktyèlman boule. Nou ta ka limen bagay sa yo sou dife nan li epi li mete l 'soti tankou wout la nou ta fè nan kay regilye. Gwo kay won fòmasyon sa a te, tankou mwen te di, li te jis yon eskalye, epi li te aktyèlman yon mwayen pou sòti. Se konsa, rès la nan bilding lan ta dwe lè l sèvi avèk ki antre nan ak sòti bilding lan. E ke se aktyèlman, ou pa ka rele ki lakou fòmasyon si li nan yon mwayen nan sòti. Yo dwe separe. Se konsa, nou te pito fache lè nou te wè konsepsyon an. Nou te pote enkyetid sa yo moute ak chèf la nan anplwaye yo. Li mennen yo bay majistra a. Yo te sanble sezi, ak Lè sa a, yo Kalite tounen nan tablo desen an. Ak depi lè sa a, nou aktyèlman pa te pèmèt ankò, pa pèmèt yo fè nenpòt ki, nenpòt ki planifikasyon. Nou pa te pèmèt yo pale sou bezwen nou yo. Se konsa, lè nou te resevwa yon lòt plan ki te kalite mennen nan nou pa Chèf Friedman nan kòmansman oswa fen ane pase a, li ankò, tonbe trè kout. Se konsa, nou manke espas pou, um, Nou manke espas depo. Nou manke espas pou kapab ajoute plis moso nan aparèy pou ke depatman an te kapab grandi. Nou manke espas pou ajoute plis manm nan depatman an. E ankò, te gen lòt enpèfeksyon osi lwen ke espas twalèt, kazye espas, bagay sa yo tankou sa. Se konsa, ou konnen, nou evidamman yo pa kontan ak plan sa a. Akote de pa te kontan ak plan an, nou te di rezon ki fè plan sa a pa t 'kapab gen nenpòt ki pi bon pase sa li te te paske bidjè a ki te lavil la mete sou kote te $ 30 milyon dola ak yo ke yo pa t' kapab depanse yon lòt pyès dis santim ameriken plis pase $ 30 milyon dola yo ke yo te gen. Se konsa, nou te tankou, oke, si sa a, se li, byen, nou pral eseye travay ak sa a. Epi nou te mache alantou ak antreprenè a, nou te eseye fè li travay. Lè sa a, nou te jwenn ke esklizyon dèt sa a te vini soti. Epi kounyeya nou ap chèche konnen ke esklizyon dèt la aktyèlman pou tout pwojè $ 30 milyon. Se konsa, kesyon nou an pou lavil la te, sa ki te pase nan lajan an ke ou bidjè orijinal? Men, si te gen enpèfeksyon nan bidjè a ke ou te gen, si te gen pral fè yon esklizyon dèt, poukisa yo pa t 'ou mande pou lajan siplemantè pou kapab petèt fè ki rive, petèt satisfè bezwen yo nan depatman an? Nou pa ap mande pou luks, nou jis ap mande pou Basics nan katye jeneral la. Epi li aktyèlman chokan pou nou wè ke vil la pa planifye pou depanse yon sèl dola sou bilding sa a, e yo ap mande tout sitwayen nou yo pou nou fè tout bòdwo a. Se konsa, paske nan tout bagay sa yo, nou 100% pa vle wè Sitwayen nou yo ap afekte pa sa a, ak Lè sa a, vire toutotou ak aktyèlman konnen ke pwojè a tou pral gen kèk enpèfeksyon grav epi li pa pral anfòm bezwen yo nan depatman an. Se konsa, ou konnen, nou ap mande moun yo vote pa gen okenn sou sa. Nou evidamman, tankou George te di, nou te gen yon ane difisil. Nou pa gen anpil kominikasyon ak vil la. Se konsa, ou konnen, kesyon sa yo reyèlman, nou pa reyèlman gen yon opòtinite yo poze kesyon sa yo, chita epi pale ak yo. Nou te gen konvèsasyon. Nou te pale sou bagay ki te pral chanje. Lè sa a, nou te di ke nou ta dwe eskli nan Lè sa a, sou. Ansyen chèf nou an te di nou ke li te espesyalman te di ke nou pa te sipoze yo te di sou bagay sa yo. Malerezman, nou pa menm ka ede eseye fè sa pi byen. Se konsa, lòt pase jis lefèt ke gen nan jis enpèfeksyon anpil, nou reyèlman, nou pa kanpe dèyè sa a ogmantasyon taks nan tout. E nou ap mande nou tout vote pa sou li. Nou te gen, mwen te gen yon koup la moun rive jwenn soti mande nou vini nan sipò nan ogmantasyon taks la, epi mwen te kouriyèl tounen. Mwen se yon ti kras pi bon lè mwen gen yon ti kras nan tèt kòmanse epi yo dwe kapab ekri li tout desann ak edit sa mwen te di. Se konsa, mwen te kouriyèl tounen yon koup la moun, yon sèl fanm espesyalman nan youn nan lekòl yo, epi eksplike poukisa nou pa t 'kapab, ou konnen, nou pa t' nan sipò sa a. Apre sa, mwen pa t 'menm jwenn anpil nan yon di ou mèsi pou tan ou. Paske nou pa te sipòte li. Okenn moun pa te enterese nan poukisa nou pa sipòte li. Mwen pa ta dwe di pèsonn. Moun sa a espesifik pa te enterese nan poukisa nou pa te sipòte li. Se konsa, nou santi nou tankou li nesesè ke nou vle jwenn yo deyò tankou poukisa nou pa sipòte li. Men, an menm tan an, li nan yon ti kras difisil jis paske nan klima aktyèl la yo fè sa san yo pa kònen klewon tankou nou jis yon pakèt moun sou moun fache ak nou jis pa renmen anyen. Se konsa, si okenn moun gen nenpòt kesyon, Mwen disponib, lòt ofisyèl sendika yo disponib. Si ou janm gen nenpòt kesyon, santi yo lib yo rive jwenn soti nan nou. Si ou bezwen adrès imel nou an oswa anyen, ou ka mande m 'kounye a. Oui, George Scarpelli kapab tou jwenn li soti nan ou. Nou ta kontan pale sou nenpòt nan bagay sa yo. Nou anpil apresye sipò tout moun nan tout tout bagay ke nou te ale atravè tout ane sa a. Tout moun te bèl bagay sou sa. Mèsi.
