Did I hear Mike Mangan say something about how copies of the proposed charter has to be mailed out to residents and implying the charter commission is out of money? How on earth can they be out of money? There were rarely any announcements in papers and they certainly did not have to pay for use of the room.

The only thing I can think of is paying that consultant, which IMHO was the biggest waste of tax payer money. Newburyport caught on and let him go. I think the commission hired him to get out of doing their research.

The questions asked of him could have easily been found by going on the internet, to a library, a city or town hall, calling elected officials in other cities, etc. I know one of the biggest reasons for hiring a consultant was to write the charter. As for the writing part, I am NOT impressed. It is a cookie cutter of the Melrose charter. Anyone can cut, paste, and create a PDF. Even MGL is online. While I'm on charter.... I think the lack of public hearings was terrible, and the way the public hearings were run was just terrible and unorganized. The 1st and last public hearings are somewhat useless. The few they had, they gave people 5 minutes to discuss the entire charter?? I'll never understand why didn't they take the charter in sections, rather than rushing through the whole thing. I hope it fails, it's so compromised that it's not even funny.

I am in favor of the unicameral form of government but, because there is a four year term for mayor in there, I will be voting against the revised Charter. Most people I speak to on the four year term for mayor are against it. Imagine the amount of damage that could be done in four years if the mayor is totally incompetent. I prefer to be able to vote them out of office in two years. If the majority of the voters approve of the job being done, he will be re-elected, thus giving him his four years or more.

From MGL Chapter 43B, Section 11:

"The city council or board of selectmen shall cause the final report of a charter commission, or a charter amendment proposed in an order which has become effective under section ten, to be printed and a copy to be distributed to each residence of one or more registered voters. Such distribution shall occur not later than two weeks before the election at which the question of adopting, revising or amending the charter is to be submitted to the voters. Additional copies of such final report or proposed amendment shall be filed with the city or town clerk for distribution to registered voters requesting the same and one such copy shall be posted in his office."

I don't believe that any money was ever budgeted by the Charter Commission to do this mailing since it was never their responsibility. And since the expense will not occur until FY'12, there would be no need to budget for it and add it to the tax levy before then. I would expect to see a line item for it under the City Council when the FY'12 budget gets presented next week.

While I largely agree that the charter review process both here and elsewhere appears to be somewhat "cookie-cutter"-ish, I believe that it can be both a good thing and a bad thing. Is there really a need to reinvent the entire wheel? If there is something that works well somewhere else, why not use it as a basis for what you're trying to do? If the charter had actually been written by members of the commission, don't you believe that some version of the same approach would have been used? The downside to using this type of approach is that it probably tends to lead to somewhat of a "closed" process. With a limited number of consultants involved in charter writing and, likely, the same people at the state level reviewing the revised charters every time, it's probably hard to convince them that there might be a better way to do something than what they are used to seeing in every charter.

From what I've heard, there were only a couple members of the charter commisssion that expressed any interest in attempting to write any of the charter themselves. Most of the members went into this thinking that they would hire a consultant to write it for them. This was not a question that we as voters knew enough to ask before we elected the commission members but I still think that we need to assume some of the "blame" for, if that's what you perceive it to be, by electing who we did to the commission. That said, I don't believe the commission could have written a charter without any type of direction or legal help. The state wasn't likely going to hold their hand during the entire process. Given the way that the city solicitor's office has been staffed for the duration of the process, it would have stretched a limited resource even thinner. And no slight to Mrs. Meijia, but she probably doesn't have all the necessary knowledge readily at hand and it probably would have taken her longer to get to the commission answers than someone who deals with these issues all of the time; it also would have taken away time from other things that she needed to be doing. Given that they were going to hire a consultant and my belief that they needed some kind of help anyways, the $10K that they spent on the consultant doesn't bother me at all; you have to break some eggs to make an omelette. I will admit though, if you asked me the same question 18 month ago, you would have gotten a totally different answer.

As for the charter itself, I am happy with it as a whole although there are parts of that I believe could have been written more simply and clearly. There's a lot of good things in it, things that this city desparately needs to do and have available. But that said, I too am having a hard time with the four year term for mayor. I had no problem with exploring it but it is the one issue that I would have liked to have seen voted on separately. Instead, we're faced with an all up or all down vote. As a result, I'm stuck on the fence on this one and probably will remain there until I actually cast my ballot in November.

I'm a bit surprised (but pleased) that the agenda got posted on the city web site as early as it did this week. My surprise is because the minutes for last Monday's CC meeting and the copy of the FY2012 budget that RVC requested at the joint convention still haven't been posted as far as I can tell.

2. The wording of this piece is somewhat confusing to me. Some grants, like the one with for the stadium, require some type of match from the city. Does the way that this is worded mean that there would be no need to come back to the city council to approve an additional appropriation if such a match is required? I hope that someone asks about that.

9. Something does need to be done about Webster Street and I guess it's either this or one-sided parking. I'm not sure what impact this will have on the City Hall Parking lot though. It's awful hard finding a parking space there sometimes and instead of being able to loop around again you'd have to go out on to Broadway and all the way around the block again. Maybe they could switch the entrance and the exit too. But, for some reason, that just doesn't seem natural to me; I think that your first inclination would be to turn into the first available opening.

15. Atty. Marchese back in front of the Board again. Wonder what will happen this time?

20. Glad to see this piece on the agenda. I'm surprised that this hasn't been more on a talking point on either of the boards lately since it was reported that Everett has the highest basic cable rates in the local area. Probably not anything that's going to come out of this that will change that since the city is in the middle of a 10 year contract with Comcast; but, it's probably a good time to start talking about what, if anything, can be done to get the city into a more favorable position when the time comes to negotiate a new cable contract.
