I just realized the mayor has not attended one meeting of the BOA this year. Isn't that unusual?
The mayor just arrived at the meeting.

| He's on his way..........I hope it's not another yelling scene like he did to Chuck DiPerri while in sandals and shorts for not thanking him for flowers. Gee.......I wonder who called him to get up there if he already stated he would not be there. |

The conversation about lower Broadway sounds to be a plus for the City of Everett. The developer is even willing to pay to have the traffic light installed. The developers plans are for a hotel, retail and a marina. Sounds better than a waste transfer station.
Just my opinion....

1.
So, Everett gets $10,000 for every election it holds to pay to open up the polls an hour early? $10,000 for being open for an extra hour when an entire election can be run for a little less than $30,000? Every community in the Commonwealth must get similar funding for doing the same. I'm sorry but that's ridiculous. I can understand receiving some reimbursement when the mandate was first implemented because the change was not budgeted for. But after that, every city or town should be responsible for its own elections, not every taxpayer in the Commonwealth. Don't get me wrong; if it is done at all, Everett should get its fair share though.
All that said, in a case where it is the state who mandates that the election needs to be held at all, I don't have a problem with the state picking up the tab. I hope that everyone understands as soon as this State Senate seat is filled, the winner will have to immediately have to start running for re-election this fall. And did I hear the city was finally reimbursed for the special US Senate election? Things like that need to be known so that you can do an informed analysis on how the city spends its free cash.
2.
Does Alderman Sachetta ever read a proposed ordinance before he votes on it? For him not to know what this ordinance covered after he had already voted on it once is really disheartening. And it's far from the first time it has happened.
3.
Even though televising all committee meetings will cost $40,000 a year, it is still well worth it. If the administration doesn't know how to squeeze that much out of the existing ECTV budget, I'm sure that we all could come up with a very simple solution to that issue for them.
9.
I had to laugh when this piece was first taken out of order (more on that later). But after Alderman Mangan explained his reasoning, it wasn't as out of line as I first thought. Not absolutely necessary but at least there was a reason behind it. I also have to admit that when it came up, I thought that the alderman would be going in the other direction with the piece. Once again, proves what I know.
In one way, I was very surprised where the support came from to even consider giving this license for selling flowers; in another, I was not. In the end, I believe that the right thing was done. No one should even consider applying for a license for anything unless their affairs are already in order or, at least, under control.
11. & 26.
Must have been asleep at the switch this week not to have noticed the duplicate item. Truth be told, I don't really pay a whole lot of attention to these dedications when they are on the agenda. I just figure that if they are requested, they are well deserved.
14.
I guess that it doesn't really pay to ignore your license renewal request anymore. The city is on top of the process now and if you miss the deadline, you have to pay an application fee like you were applying for the license for the first time. It used to drive me nuts when a business would get multiple years licenses renewed all at one time.
15. & 16.
Where are those anonymous letters going to? I thought Alderman Marchese was on fire last night. Very funny. And there's no reason that these meetings can't have a little humor in them to offset the seriousness of them. Everything in moderation.
17.
I really hope that these licenses to allow the serving of beer and wine on city property are issued sparingly. The city's liability insurance shouldn't be used to hold private organizations harmless if some issue arises as a result of issuing the license.
18.
We keep hearing that this ordinance is based on the Lynn Vicious Dog Ordinance; what was originally voted down was not. The Lynn ordinance deal with issues that occur after the fact, starting with the declaration that a particular dog of any breed is to be considered vicious. What was previously voted down assumes that an entire breed of dog is vicious, other breeds are not and starts with a licensing process. Two very different ways to come at the problem. Which is the best way to deal with it? I'm not sure that I know. I hope that the R & O committee spends some time figuring that out.
19.
I like the idea of a Homeowners Discount. But I think that I finally understand what bothers me about it. As it was talked about last night, the 20% discount seems to be calculated on the average value of every residential property and everybody who qualifies for it gets the same discount. It should be calculated on the individual properties and their values instead. I understand that state law controls what can be done. But if that's the issue, why not explore getting the law changed?
22.
I'd have to say that the board is pretty sympathetic some times with the way that they grant licenses to businesses. But I'd also say that businesses need to be grateful for opportunities like these. And they shouldn't push the board too far because they will push back. See item 9.
25.
Well, the biggest issue that came out of this piece has already been pretty well discussed. The only things that I'll add are the following. I thought that one of the major downfalls of the Ragucci administration was when Tony Serino was the person that usually appeared to represent that administration rather than the Mayor himself. People in this city like to see their mayor appear at these meetings. And even though it hasn't received much comment these days (what does anymore?), don't think that the Mayor's absence from these meetings hasn't been noticed. Also, does the Mayor realize that a request has been to televise committee meetings? Or is that his way of telling us that it is not going to happen? And it's alright to have spirited and lively debate on an issue just as long as it's not on TV? Sorry, I just don't get that at all.
I'm also glad that Alderman Marchese brought up the subject of the editorial in last week's Independent. I wanted to comment on that piece last week but I just couldn't find the time. Some of the things in that editorial just didn't seem seem to help the administration's case at all, even though there were remarks contain within it that were attributed directly to the Mayor. The press release about this week's business summit and some of the Mayor's remarks from last night have been much better in helping to explain the present tax situation. To me though, the bottom line is that no matter how painful it will be, someway has to found to cut the budget.
27.
I'm not pointing any fingers but it's too bad that if the work of the Blue Ribbon Commission was 90% complete, that it was never completed.
Again, I came at this piece from the wrong direction. It's an interesting idea. I'm just not sure what the demand would be for more condos in multi-family house in Everett. Worth looking at though.
28.
Sounds like the City Clerk could be busy addressing this problem.
29.
Oh well. I'd have to say that I was disappointed that this piece was sent to committee. I bet that the Auditor and the Budget Director weren't pleased either.
30.
Glad to hear that a traffic signal will be added at Thorndike Street. Obviously, something is needed down there if the Lower Broadway is going to be developed properly; but the number of traffic lights in that short stretch of road seems excessive though. Too bad there isn't a better answer. Glad to hear that the developer is willing to pay for infrastructure improvements that are needed to support his project. That is a refreshing change of pace.
As I have stated many times in the past, I'm not a fan of taking items out of order on the agenda. I just don't see the need for it unless there is someone there to appear on a piece. It was even confusing to the Aldermanic president last night. I had no problem with the item added under suspension last night; it just served the purpose of getting item referred to committee. |

2.
Hey! An appointment to fill an unexpired term. Maybe somebody is finally paying attention to the ordinances again in regards to how they do appointments. But don't worry; we'll keep an eye on it.
3.
Hmm, nothing in the ordinances already about City Census Regulations? If that's the case, I'm glad they are addressing it. I've always wondered how they can temporarily suspend your right to vote until you've filled out a census;. maybe this piece will answer that question.
4.
OK, this is an act that was passed by the State Legislature that can be adopted by any municipality, not the home rule petition that the city submitted last year for essentially the same purpose. If I'm reading the act correctly (You must be logged in to see this link.), Section 5 of it appears to require the city to have a snow shoveling ordinance. If I'm correct, it might be wise to address that issue first seeing that the City Council has never been to pass such an ordinance in the past.
5. + 6.
As I said last week, I support both of these transfers. However, I would hope that we could hear a discussion on a few items surrounding it first though.
First, I think that the actual balance of the Stabilization Fund needs to be disclosed. I don't believe that we should be relying on either myself or Councilor Marcus for that info.
Secondly, I 'd like to hear a discussion of where the administration is headed with using the Stabilization Fund. Granted, my concerns are more with the $2+ million transfer that was referred to committee last week by the Common Council last week; but, I don't think that it would hurt to understand the complete picture before approving this transfer from the Stabilization Fund.
Lastly, back at the Alderman's meeting on September 14, 2009, Alderman Marchese made a request that the Mayor consider taking $500,000 that was anticipated to be returned from the the stadium project and put it towards the purchase of a new fire truck. We know from last week's discussion, that this purchase can't be put off until then in order for the city to get the quoted price. Alderman Marchese may have already received an answer to his request; but, I think that the public deserves to know the answer to it as well. Will that money be returned to the Sale of Real Estate Account or will it be put in the Stabilization Fund to “make up” for this particular transfer?
12.
I watched the Finance Committee and I'm still kind of baffled as to why this piece couldn't be addressed at the last Board of Aldermen's meeting. I really didn't see the absolute need for the Mayor to be there to answer the types of questions that were asked at the Finance Committee meeting. Then again, neither of the two main sponsors of the piece were at the Finance Committee. Maybe we'll get a better idea of why the Aldermen felt that the Mayor's presence was necessary at tomorrow night's meeting. But while I'm thinking about it, didn't Councilor Sarnie have a piece on the agenda a couple of year's ago asking that the City Council receive budget reports on a regular basis that would show some of this information? I'll have to do some research. |

1.
It sounds to me like the city played its own part in this screw-up. So I think that the Board made the right decision in just letting this play out until the license(s?) expire(s?). Let the courts sort out the other issues, if necessary.
The City Council recently passed an ordinance on what the requirements are for a second class motor license (more on that later). After this debacle, maybe they also need to consider coming up with ordinances that describe exactly what is required for every other type of license as well.
3.
What's the difference between the annual city census and the census done every ten years by the Federal government in regards to securing funding? What are the numbers from each used for? I've never been clear on that. BTW, did everyone else get a letter telling them that they would be getting their Federal census form next week? What a waste!
I'd really like to see some details of what is being proposed here though. Just because something sounds like a good idea doesn't mean that it is something that can easily be implemented. For example, it was proposed last night that parking stickers not be issued if the applicant hasn't filled out their annual census. Since the annual issuance of parking stickers and the census now happen in the same time frame, will you now be required to file your census and give sufficient time for processing before you can get your sticker? In the past, I've dropped off my census form and gotten my sticker in the same trip to City Hall. Will there be an easy way for the parking clerk's office to check on your census status so that it doesn't slow the process? I didn't hear of any horror stories this year of their being any major bottlenecks in the issuing of stickers. I'd hate to see the city to take a step backwards in that regard. I'm all for looking at things that can potentially bring more money to the city; I just believe that implementing any type of change needs to be well thought out.
4.
I'm glad that the question was asked about snow shoveling. I've been critical of Alderman Sachetta in the past for not being prepared to debate pieces on the calendar. I'm glad that he proved me wrong this time, on this particular piece. He won't get off entirely free for the night though; but, more on that later.
I can't really disagree with Ms. Murphy's assessment that a snow shoveling ordinance isn't required . She's the lawyer, I'm not. But I think that to have that view sends the message that the city doesn't care about “the removal of snow and ice from sidewalks within such portions of the municipality as they consider expedient by the owner of land abutting such sidewalks.” I don't think that's the right message to send.
The city needs a snow shoveling ordinance. Some time and effort just has to be invested in it so that they come up with one that works for as many people in the city as possible. And I wouldn't have any problems with one that includes some type of exemption for the elderly and the disabled.
I'm still not convinced that the acceptance of this state law is the magic pill that everyone is looking for.
It still has the option in it that allows the alleged violator to take the ticket to court if they are not satisfied with the hearing officer's decision. I can't see the city slapping liens on any alleged violator until they've had their day in court, if they want one. Also, to me anyways, the way that the law is written, this process appears to begin when a ticket is written. So what happens to all of the tickets that were written before this law is accepted by the city? I don't believe there was enough discussion of that point. Maybe there will be at next week's Common Council meeting; lets hope that there is anyways.
6.
I'm glad that we got an accurate accounting of the balance of the Stabilization Fund; I'm also glad that my figure was closer to the actual amount than Councilor's Marcus'. There's probably some type of interest income that gets added to the account. Don't get me wrong; it would have been nice to have an additional $2 million in that fund but I just didn't see how that was possible given what I remembered.
Although I would not have had a problem with the money for the pumper coming from the Stabilization Fund, I felt that it was necessary for there to be a discussion of why this money should be taken from Stabilization Fund rather than some other source. I didn't really hear any of that. Given that was the case, I have no problem with using Free Cash for this acquisition instead.
I'm someone who doesn't agree with the usage of electronic devices by attendees of meetings in the City Hall Chambers. As such, I don't believe that City Council members should be calling the Mayor in the chambers during meetings. The administration was well represented at the meeting, If there was a need to get a hold of the Mayor, it should have been done by his representatives and outside of the chamber.
If the Mayor doesn't agree with the practice of backing the City Council into a corner on an issue (and it's not the first time that he's said that), then why does he allow this “fine” Everett tradition to continue?
10.
Seems like the Board is going to be a little bit more carefully about issuing and renewing licenses. We never saw exactly what was included in the second class motor dealers license ordinance that they just passed Lets hope that it included the applicant providing some proof that their business has the right to operate at the location specified on the license application. If not, then it is time to amend that new ordinance already.
12.
I don't think that the discussion about this issue accomplished a whole lot more than what happened at the Finance Committee the other night. It's no surprise that the Sand/Salt lime item will also require a transfer; it's always cut during the budget process since it's one of the only line items that can be overspent under state law. The usage of the sand and salt? Well, that might be an issue for another day.
It's really hard to believe that after two plus years of service and having an accounting background that Alderman Sachetta seems to have so little understanding of how the city's finances work.
I know that the piece called for the Mayor to appear on it; but I thought, even before we found out that it was the DeMaria's wedding anniversary, that Alderman Van Campen was a little bit out of line to take a shot at the Mayor for not appearing at this meeting when he himself did not appear at last week's Finance Committee meeting and the Mayor did (well at some point in the meeting, anyways). I know that Alderman Van Campen was on vacation last week but the scheduling of committee meetings is flexible enough so that he could have requested the meeting be held at a time when he was available to attend. That said, I also don't think that Alderman Mangan needs to stick up for the administration either. The Mayor is a big boy; I'm sure that he can take care of himself. Of course, if the Mayor would appear more often at these regular Monday night meetings, then his critics just wouldn't have as much to say.
I raised the issue a few weeks ago that I thought that the Parlin remodeling project would be coming in over budget. Then, I read and/or heard some conflicting information that made me doubt what I had posted. I was ready to eat some crow but I wanted to be sure which information was correct first. I was sad to hear that I might have been right in the first place. Still not sure how bad the damage will be though. The issue needs to addressed soon. |
