From the city ordinances:
"Section 2-191. Composition, appointment and terms of office.
There shall be a planning board consisting of five (5) members who shall be appointed by the mayor, subject to confirmation by the city council."
Tonight, I hope that someone brings up the other points that I mentioned a couple of weeks ago about planning appointments tonight, i.e., that there are three members of the board that have expired appointments and a fouurth was never confirmed by the Common Council. |

It's a shame that the two projects on Beacham Street didn't line up better to provide an opportunity to save a bit of money. Oh well.
It seemed to me as if once again, in the finest tradition of Everett politics, that the Beacham Street project is being shoved down the City Council's throat. Don't get me wrong. Beacham Street needs to redone. But the BOA was asked to approve the design money in order to qualify for a grant whose application deadline would have already passed if not for a natural disaster. And if I heard the gentleman correctly, the deadline was the 16th, before the Common Council will vote on the appropriation. And one of the major conditions for receiving the grant is to display that the project will be ready for the next construction season? With plans not even started, how likely is that to convince the powers that be that the project will be ready for next spring? And when the city applies for grants, isn't a vote of City Council required to authorize the Administration to do so? That was the case with Air Force Road (BOA – 06/14/2010, CC – 06/21/2010) and more recently with the Shute Library ( BOA - 05/23/2011, CC – 06/06/2011). This all seems very rushed to me. But, as I'm to willing to admit, what do I know? |

It's been posted 48 business hours in advance for as long as I can remember. This is a very easy thing to do and we know the agendas are final by Thursday. It "appears" that every time there's a controversial issue, the agendas are never posted on-time, just like the ECTV videos that have a strange way of either disappearing or have technical difficulties.
I guess I'll have to wait to see if there's anything that can be controversial this evening. |

Call it what you will, as suspected...just by skimming the agenda, I see a few controversial items on particularly 10, 11, 21 and 23.
It's going to be interesting to see just how much the charter commission has spent and spent on that consultant. Nothing personal against the man but after seeing the proposed charter, it's rather evident that it was a cut and paste from the Melrose and Holyoke Charters. Anyone could have done that and with MGL online, it could have been researched from the commissioners that were willing to put in the effort. If there was a legal opinion needed, we were told we had the city solicitor. I'm curious how much was spent there.
What's this about outside legal council on item 23? The mayor stated everything was done in-house and why are we paying for 3 attorneys?
Looks like a long night for the alderman. |

| On item 21, the Charter Commission sent a letter instead of showing up in person. So none of the Aldermen could get their questions answered in person. |

It is obvious that Alderman Marchese has a problem with the new charter. That is certainly his right. But just as a lot of us don't believe that city meetings are the place for campaigns for elected offices to play out, I don't believe that the Council chambers are the proper place for anyone to be expressing their feelings about what is now a political issue that will be decided by the voters in November. That's a whole lot different from asking the Charter Commission how they spent the money that they were appropriated.
I have no clue why a representative of the Charter Commission didn't appear at the meeting. But what I do know is that according to MGL, Chapter 43B, Section 8, and also from what I have posted before, the Charter Commission had to turn over any remaining funds and document their expenses back in June. Why is this an issue now?
I guess it was the signs. I have confirmed that a committee was set up. I'm sure that the City Clerk knows that. Why didn't he speak up when Alderman Van Campen mentioned he had to believe that private funds had been used for the signs? It would not have been absolute proof that nothing funny was going on but it would have been more evidence that it is very likely that things are being done correctly.
And if Alderman Marchese's real main concern was when this "crap" was going to be published, why was his agenda item so specific that it didn't include that issue? And if he had been paying attention, he would have known, again under MGL, it is actually the City Council's responsibility to publish and distribute the final report and can therefore control when it is mailed to the voters. Again, why did nobody speak up on that? Are they afraid of Marchese?
I have heard that Everett's Charter Commission has stayed very involved in the final report distribution process, which is above and beyond what they are required to do under MGL. But by doing this, it's likely to avoid any snafus from occuring. That's something that can happen very easily; if you've got a little time to kill, do a little research on what's happening in Holyoke with the final distribution of their new charter. We like to think "Only in Everett" but crazy things seem to happen everywhere. |

There are questions I hope get asked. I know this is a savings for municipalities, but will this compensate for local aid cuts?
How much per week is the actually savings to the employee…compared to the increase in co-pay, medications and deductibles that employees will have to pay? Any cost savings to the city should also be applied to overhead/fixed costs that we are constantly hearing about at budget time. I’d like to see a promise about that, and not have the administration use this savings as an excuse to spend spend spend however they want. I’m not sure that this will go over well with unions either. I’m not sure, but I think they lose veto power, but still have a say. That’s not a consolation to the unions or employees. I do understand that unions can be very difficult to negotiate with.
I question the retiree aspect of this. I have to look it up but I believe retirees will be forced on Medicare, which a National Health Plan for elderly and disabled. Although it all sounds good, and it very well could be a good thing I kinda have mixed emotions on it.

I hear you but not all doctors accept medicare patients and there are also cut off points. Medicare does not pay their bills accurately, so the doctors do not want to deal. When you've put in so many years of work, I just do not feel it's fair. People that are lifetime workers should have the best possible care but that seems to be going to people that Obama open the flood gates too instead!
