Communications from the mayor. Item 11761, notice of appointment of Rachel J. Roberts to the position of the executive secretary for a term expiring January 1st, 2027. Councelor Heath. >> Thank you, Mr. President. Um I ask that
this um this item was placed on file. >> Second. >> Motion made by councelor Heath, second by councelor Kazinskus to place this item on file. Is there discussion? All those in favor? I. >> I. All those opposed? No. Motion passes. Item 11 1762. Notice of appointment of
Vincent Fusetaryi, the second esquire to the position of city solicitor for a term expiring January 5th, 2029. Council Heath. >> Thank you, Mr. President. Um, I'd like to ask [clears throat] that this item is placed on file as was the last one. And
I'd like to just go ahead and go to thank the mayor for the notification of both items. >> Second. >> Motion made by councelor Heath, second by councelor Kazinskis to place this item on file. Is there discussion? Councelor Brooks. >> Uh, thank you, Mr. President. In the
mayor's letter, he indicated that there had been a change in the term of term, the length of the term for the appointment. Historically, it had been a one-year appointment, and apparently in in the uh reworking of the ordinances,
it was switched to a three-year appointment. I have a problem with that. And so it would be my intention at the next meeting to put forth an amendment to the ordinance is to put it back to a one-year appointment. Um I think doing a
three-year appointment is uh not good in that it will overlap terms of mayors. And I think it's important that each mayor has the ability to select who they want as their city solicitor. Mayor Hawk made a new appointment when he became
mayor. Mayor Sanhair did not take Mayor Kelly's appointment. Mayor Kelly switched from the solicitor that Mayor Mana had. And so I think it's important that that we do it. And I guess the best way to do it is to go back to one-year appointment where where the and that
where we don't confirm or there's no other effort on our part. It's just it's what's comfortable for the mayor. So I would be putting forward something uh for the next meeting. Thank you. >> Thank you, council. Any further discussion? Councelor Heath. >> Uh, thank you, Mr. President. Um, [clears throat]
through you to the mayor, if um so through the chair to the mayor, if I could ask a question as far as um from my understanding the appointment lengths and I know from in my position as the appointments chair, it's up to three years. Is that the same situation as
such? >> Like to call on Mayor Nicholson to answer the council's question. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, counselor. Uh, so section 3-2 of the ordinance code, chapter 3, section two, uh, the ordinance code has a provision in it that says unless otherwise stated,
the appointment term shall be 3 years. There's an interpretation, uh, look on that one, um, that I think, you know, being brought up earlier today is something that I'm currently looking at right now, too. um in that where it says otherwise stated is that otherwise stated at the discretion of the mayor
and a documented reasoning as to why it's not three years or is it otherwise stated as in otherwise not stated in the ordinance code or in general laws or in something like that other than that. Uh so uh the reason why the three years was put up is the way that uh that was being read as unless otherwise stated where
the assistant city solicitor has a maration in the ordinance code that says the assistant city solicitor shall be appointed for no more than one year. um that's not listed for the solicitor itself. So that's why where section 32 says unless otherwise stated a three-year appointment be put forward um that this was put forward like that.
>> Thank you mayor. Any further discussion? Councelor Mac. >> Why the mayor's at the podium if you don't mind um council president. >> Um so [clears throat] if we place to put this on file and there's a change to the ordinance this has already occurred. So this stays
as is correct and the ordinance would affect any appointment moving forward. >> Uh to be honest, councelor Mac, I'd have to go back and look to see the legal ramifications of that just because I don't know. My initial guess would be
correct. Uh but I don't want to give a firm answer without being able to review the options first. >> Thank you, counselor. Any further discussion? >> Councelor Tone? Yes, I'm just making a statement here and because I do agree that the mayor should have the ability
to appoint the city solicitor uh for the term that the mayor is in office. I I I find it a little bit odd that we are um extending uh the city solicitor. I have no issues or qualms with the city solicitor. So, I just want
that to be I do find it odd that we're you know, we're going a year past um the elected term for the mayor. Um so, um prior to taking action on this, I mean, is this something that needs to happen
this evening or can we table this? >> Council General, >> to be clear, my understanding is this is a notice from the mayor of his appointment. We aren't taking really any action. We're placing it on file. So, it was the mayor's at this point prerogative to appoint him for the three
years according to ordinance. So, I understand what you're saying, counselor, that, you know, should we be leaving this on? But there's really nothing to leave on for us to take action on. >> Any further discussion? Thank you. >> With that, the motion to place the communication on file. All those in
favor? I I >> Allos, no. Motion passes. Petitions, applications, communications. Item 11754, High Street, National Grid to relocate two jointly owned poles on High Street,
beginning at a point approximately 10 ft south of the center line of the intersection of High Street and Newton Street and continuing approximately 120 ft in an east direction, relocating P30 and P31 on High Street to alleviate clearance issues to new construction
being built on Newton Street. Councelor Mac. >> I make a motion to refer this item to the public service committee and to schedule a public hearing. >> Second. >> Motion made by councelor Mack, second by councelor Tone to refer this item to the public service committee and to schedule a public hearing. Is there discussion?
All those in favor? I. >> All those opposed? No. Motion passes. Reports of standing committees. Finance committee. Item 11685. A measure declaring the land located at
13 to 17 West Line Street as defined in the attached approval not required ANR plan as surplus for the purpose of disposition. Councelor Heg. >> Thank you, Mr. President, and through you to the council. The finance committee has met on this item several
times. Over the course of those meetings, it was explained that the mayor was putting this item up as he felt it made sense to declare the parcel surplus and dispose of it. Due to the special permits that were attached to the property, essentially in the early 2000s, the planning board granted
special permits stating that the city municipal lot, which it is behind 13 to 17 West Line Street also be utilized uh as parking for the residents at set address and that the city would continue to maintain it, repairs, paving, plowing, etc. Therefore, the mayor felt
that since we're responsible for the expense of a lot primarily used by the tenants of the privately owned building, that lot should be disposed of. The finance committee disagreed on two points. We felt that with a growing downtown rear main street development underway, it was too valuable and risky
to dispose of a municipal lot, and we weren't necessarily satisfied with the response concerning the special permit issue related to this item. Uh so with that, the finance committee reports that no action be taken on the item. Thank you. >> Thank you, councelor.
>> Item 11 1764, discussion on city council order. >> Are you making a point of order? >> Yeah. On on that 11685, do we have to take action to remove it from the calendar? >> The point of order is that we need to
take action to remove from the calendar. According to Robert's rules of order, a report from standing committee of no action be taken is and of itself removing >> removing from the count. Okay. Thank you. >> Item 11 1764 discussion on city council rules.
Council journal allowance. >> Thank you, Mr. President. So to a motion, the finance committee met on this item. Um the council president was there as an ex official member uh to discuss some of his [clears throat] proposal proposed changes. As um we all
know we made some significant changes um with former president Kazinskus um a year or so ago um to the rules. Um this was a little more cleanup um of those. Uh the changes that were proposed u were
to rule 13. there's some shifting of what falls under each subcommittee of the council. Um those pertain to four, five, and six, the uh committee on finance, committee on appointments, and committee on economic and community development. um vacancies moved from
finance committee into um appointments and then a number of um items such as zoning, industrial development, zoning, court of appeals, planning board moved into u the economic community development section which I we discussed and seemed to make uh make sense to what
that committee has been working on. Um and the other change was to rule 14. Um and there was a change there to reports u need to be submitted to the clerk. um from committees uh by noon Wednesday proceeding, a regular meeting uh just to give the clerk's office um that extra um
buffer to get agendas prepared um and um be ready for the the upcoming meeting the following week. The finance committee was in favor of these changes and I make a motion to pass the um pass the rules as presented in our packet.
>> Second. >> Motion made by councelor Allowance. Second by council Hegeland to pass the rules as presented. Is there discussion? Council Gazinskus. >> Thank you, President Tyros. As chair of the economic and community development committee, I I support the changes that
were made and the different areas that were put under the committee other than only the department. I think it makes sense and I think it showed uh from the last year of the committee that we should certainly take those on. It makes sense with categorizing. And when I've, you know, looked at other, um, cities that have a similar type of committee,
they kind of fall under that area as well, too. So, I'm glad to, uh, make those changes. Um, and I just want to say that I support those. So, thank you. >> Thank you, council. Further discussion, councelor Hegman. >> Thank you, Mr. President, and through you to the council. I, uh, also will be offering an additional amendment this
evening. Uh, so I move to amend by adding rule X. The X would just become the next subsequent number in the rules. that no standing committee or subcommittee of a standing committee or the committee of the council as a whole shall vote to refer any item to the
council which has not already appeared on the agenda of that committee at a previous meeting. This rule may only be suspended by an affirmative vote of a majority of the council and the council president. Second. Is there a second? >> Motion to amend made by uh with with
additions made by councelor Heglin, second by council Kazinskus. [clears throat] >> Councilor Hegman. Do you have a copy of that amendment? >> You have possible request to recess to pass out to the council as well for review. >> We shall be in recess. Thank you.
of the council is an amendment by councelor Heglin, seconded by councelor Kazinskus. Uh for rule X, no standing committee or subcommittee of a standing committee or the committee of the council as a whole shall vote to refer any item to the council which has not already appeared on the agenda of that
committee at a previous meeting. This rule may only be suspended by an affirmative vote of a majority of the council and the council president to add that rule to the um to the item. Council M. >> Um if I could ask through the uh council
president to the to council he um I'm questioning the term subcommittee because to my knowledge there is no subcommittee of a standing committee. We're all standing committees but we shouldn't be using the word subcommittee at all because there's no such thing as a
subcommittee. Council, >> thank you. Um, you know, that's certainly something we um we could amend. I uh I think in in general, I just sort of anticipating if there was some sort of unique situation where one was account accounted for, but historically we have never done something like that. So, that is
something that certainly could be removed. >> And my my second question, if if I'm allowed, um, so it it would need both the majority of the city council and the council president. This council president is part of the council vote. So wouldn't it just be the majority of
the council? What the So you're saying even if it's the majority of the council, the council president has to vote in affirmative for this to occur. >> Council, >> correct? Yeah. Just as a as a formality that's in there.
>> Yeah. >> Councelor Kazinskus. >> Okay. Uh thank you, Mr. President. Uh, I just I I am in support of this and I want to uh just express why I'm in support of it. Um,
it had always been in the rules that an item should go to a subcommittee and then it would go to the city council. Well, for years items really went most of the time to the city council. we would refer items and anyone um even for the public watching as well if you would see our
meetings we would typically have an agenda and lots of things would get referred and that was one of the reasons I made the change to really affirm what we should be doing which was everything goes to the subcommittee first and that's why our agendas are different now our meetings run differently is because the subcommittees have already met on
these items and there's already a report so it makes things a little bit more efficient or much more efficient and and so this case it's basically doing that um council I just want to be sure I have that correct but it's so what this is doing is it's basically making it so that the item goes to the subcommittee
first they have it on an agenda and it stays on their agenda for another meeting um so that there is more time for them to be able to um consider that item and it's not like something good on the agenda they have to act on at that meeting. It gives more time for that
item. uh and whereas before we would have something in front of us as a council, it would get referred to the committee and by the time the committee met, they would have already have had it in front of them for a significant amount of time. Whereas in this case, if a if a committee meets on a Wednesday and we meet on a Monday and they just
got that item on their agenda, they may make a decision for that item for that following meeting and it just doesn't give a lot of time for the item in front of them. This this makes it known that if you're going to submit something to a subcommittee, it's going to be on there for at least one agenda before that item is considered. So, you have to be
thoughtful about the amount of time you have in front of the council. That's how I'm looking at it. And um I understand that is the technical way that this is happening, but that's why I support it because I think um that's something that's that that was a miss probably when um the the rules had been amended
previously and I think it's a really good catch and I um want to thank the counselor for um putting the amendment forward and I support it. Thank you. >> Thank you councel councelor Hegler. >> Thank you Mr. President. Thank you counselors for the questions and comments. I do appreciate it. Uh just to add and clarify a little more, we
obviously we could create a subcommittee of a standing committee. We never have, but it is something we could do. So that was sort of again just proactive. Uh it would be my intention that you know it would be at least six plus the president um if we were going to suspend the rule at a regular meeting. That uh really was
what I was getting there as well. And just to offer some more background and information, you know, since joining the the city council, I've been on the appointments committee and the finance committee. And there's really three reasons why I'm putting this forward. First, in that time, uh most meetings,
we've had far too many items that were incomplete, had errors, or had missing information. Uh especially on finance, uh we've moved away from conditionally referring items. That was something we were doing. You know, we'll put this up for the Monday meeting pending we get this information. We've moved away from
that and sort of adopted this practice informally. Um and usually the day of the meeting, right? Again, I think we've moved away from that practice and it's a good thing and this rule would really just put that in as a standard best practice for every standing committee. Second, it never hurts to build in
standard for taking more time as councelor Kazinskus was hinting at as well. I give credit to both councelor Tyrros and our former council president and the chairs for making a lot of improvements on this. But by rule and custom, an item could get submitted, as we were just talking about, put on a standing committee agenda that meets a
couple of days later. it could then get voted on and referred for the next regular meeting. If we look back, we would find many, many items that were handled that way. There's really, I think, two issues with that. Councilors and the public have very limited time to review the item and associated materials, which these are not full-time
positions, and I think that's something to keep in mind. It also doesn't encourage the mayor and city employees to get to the council these items and materials with much lead time. uh if the rule and the norm favors expedience, there's always, I think, this unspoken pressure to get things going and to move
things through. Uh and I think just to sort of give us some more leeway, that's one of the reasons I offer this amendment. Lastly, without this rule there, um you know, in that that pressure to get things done in in one meeting, if we accept this amendment, that'll certainly change. There's been
times where I voted on an item only to think of a question later on um or to hear from a resident later on and something I would have liked to have discussed in the moment and now we're in the situation of being at a full council meeting and sometimes we've asked for more time at those full council
meetings. We've referred an item back. Uh and I think if we just catch this earlier, we'll have this opportunity to avoid those situations as well. And it just allows for more contemplation, which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing either. you know, the norm is to sort of wait, have that discussion. That
allows more time to process the discussion. Questions you didn't know your your colleagues and peers on the council standing committee were going to ask. Um, things might come up that you now need to do more homework on. Uh, but again, if you don't if the practice hasn't been asked for more time, if you're not maybe comfortable, this
allows the standard stop gap for that to happen. Uh, and then only truly items that are an emergency could and could not have been prepared. there's still a way to pass those along if need be. So, I think it prevents conditional votes, getting documents right before the meeting, passing items in a committee
that contain errors. Um, you know, that first meeting and items on the agenda is an opportunity to get everything in order, make sure everything's double checked, ready to go, encourages the mayor to get us items sooner, to bring issues to our attention ahead of time. Same to department heads. The council's not always kept in the loop where there
are problems, and there have been too many times, I think, when something is dropped on us late. uh and then we're expected to cover the same ground in a very small fraction of the time. So I hope the amendment's accepted. However, I understand that this may not be a solution favored by all committees. Uh and should that be a case and this is
voted down as a council rule, my intention would be to propose this in a similar way as a you know at least a committee rule for the committees I stand on. Thank you. >> Thank you councelor for the discussion. Councelor Mac. Um, thank you for that explanation, Councelor Hagglin, because
I I do agree, especially in the last year, there has been an increasing amount of items brought before standing committee meetings and the council um that are incomplete, have multiple errors, um,
and have been rushed through or we find after that things weren't done appropriately and and sadly, I think this is a stop gap measure that we have to put into effect to get those who are
uh submitting items or preparing items to do things correctly. Um because when we it comes to us whether at at a standing committee or at this table at council chambers, we need to have the most accurate information in front of us
and that has not been happening and I think um I think it's something that we all need to acknowledge needs to greatly and vastly improve. Thank you. Thank you, councelor, for the discussion. Councelor Brooks. >> Uh, thank you, Mr. President. So, I
guess as I understand it, this is to allow us to um study [clears throat] an issue, give us time to think about it, and um take two we're taking two meetings so that we we can discuss it and then think
about it and then act on it at the next meeting. And that's what this is talking about doing. and we're being asked to look at this that we received 10 minutes ago and act on it now. >> Okay,
>> council consensus. >> Well, that's that I to to the counselor. I mean to speak to that I I I understand. I think that's fair, but that's how amendments work. So that's why we have in place to get an amendment, take a recess, sit on it for 10 minutes, and then we're able to discuss it. That's not this isn't this
isn't a brand new item coming before the council that we have to make an action on. um in terms of you know with with um tons of different type of documentation and questions this is pretty straightforward and again this is amendment to something and we don't have to make decision on it necessarily right
now we can keep the other item on the agenda but um and that's always been kind of the practice for um for an amendment. So I think it's that I think I think they're apples and oranges. That's my opinion on that. Um, the other thing I wanted to speak to
again on the amendment is that um, the last line where this role may only be suspended by an affirmative vote of a majority of the council and the council president. Uh, I do like the thoughtful piece to have the majority and then the council president as part of that. Uh,
but I do think there are definitely exceptions where you do this rule may have to be suspended. Like it just happens. It's not for lack of planning or communication or anything like that. Sometimes there are exceptions and I think this helps highlight that there
are exceptions and and it's not something that should be a regular practice. It's this something has to be a clear exception to the rule because we have to vote. That isn't an exception and it's not just oh I threw it on because I forgot about it or something like that. Uh so I appreciate that caveat being put in here uh for that
reason because I I know firsthand that that it it does just happen here and there. So thank you. >> Thank you councelor Councelor Heg. >> Thank you Mr. President to the council just to respond to the comment about the timeliness. I I do see what you're saying, but again being the junior most counselor. I know that amendments cannot
be offered beforehand. They have to be brought to the meeting otherwise that's an open meeting law violation. So I would hope that uh my senior colleagues would understand that. Additionally, this isn't an ordinance, a money order. This isn't some major piece that will impact the city. It's just a rule that
impacts us how we operate understanding committees. So I think the scale is significantly different than why I am preaching we put this in place. Uh and it's something that could be suspended by any standing committee at any given moment and it could be suspend suspended by the larger council. It's just a small
rule to provide in a stop gap. Thank you. >> Thank you councelor Tony. >> We could go back and forth all night on this but this is a common sense best practice. I support the amendment. I think it's a great addition. Um we need
to be informed. We need to expedite um decisions through through um the the the committees that are set up for the council. Um I support it and I I I think a lot's been said. We can continue to talk about it, but I think it's a
no-brainer. >> Thank you, councel. Further discussion on the table. We have a motion to amend by councelor Heglin, second by councelor Dazinskus to add rule X which we sub subsequently numbered if passed. All
those in favor I. >> I. >> All those opposed? No. >> No. >> Motion motion to amend passes. Now for the item the question as amended made by councelor Dolawitz second by councelor Heg to pass the rules. All those in
favor I. >> I. All those opposed. No. Motion passes. There's no unfinished business. New business. Item 11 one 765. A resolution to file and accept grants
with and from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy Environmental Affairs for the Parkland acquisition and renovations for communities park program for development of all the case playground. Council Kazinskis. >> Thank you, Mr. President. I would like
to make a motion to adopt the resolution. >> Second motion by councelor Kazinskus, second by council allowance to adopt the resolution. Is there discussion? Council Kazinskus. >> Uh thank you, Mr. President, I would like to request for the mayor to speak
on this particular item as the mayor is present. >> I'll agree. Next time, would you speak to this item in front of us? >> Thank you very much, Mr. President. Thank you very much, Dr. Kazinskus. Uh this is something that is unique to certain grant applications that we uh
apply for uh particularly from the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs. Uh the park grant, as the acronym is listed before you, uh has a very specific process that EA uh requires cities and towns to follow in order to accept these funds.
Uh back in November of 2023, the match for this grant application was already appropriated by vote of the city council. Uh that is because as part of EA's requirements for the park grant application, the application cannot be submitted until a potential match is already appropriated. Uh so as a result
since all of that work was done before the application was submitted when our application was approved and granted for funding by the executive office of energy environmental affairs on October 29th 2025 a resolution in order to accept the grant funds has to be done uh
by the city council and uh signed by the mayor as well because the match was preappropriated beforehand. Now, we know what the final numbers are uh from the Commonwealth. Uh we know that they've approved uh as it says in the resolution document itself, a full project cost of
360,000. Uh if the cost goes higher than that, any previously approved uh match that is higher than that is able to be used for that purpose. Uh but of that $360,000 project, uh the state is providing funding for $252,000 and change on that
item. So, uh, the council's vote, uh, before with the resolution right now allows the city to accept the grant funds and authorizes the mayor to utilize those grant funds that have been accepted for that specific project. It basically allows the legislative branch of the city's government to have an
extra say in the acceptance and use and utilization of those grant funds. uh because it's for a dedicated park in the city and under article 97 of the constitution of the commonwealth uh that requires additional um public process and this is the part of the process to close out us being able to utilize those
funds for this project. Uh this project uh relates to playground over in ward 2. Uh people may remember a couple years ago that we had the former wooden structure at overase playground uh that had to be taken down due to the structural integrity of the wooden
structures that were there. Uh this grant application that was submitted and approved is to replace the structures that were torn down not with wooden structures uh but with other structures uh for playground equipment to make it so that we have the same amount of playground equipment we had there two years ago when the structures were torn
down. Uh so this will basically bring the park back up to whole as to what was there prior to the structure being torn down. Uh we are in communications with the disability, excuse me, disability commission and the um municipal grounds commission that oversees our playgrounds to make sure that they uh have some say
at the table with regards to how this new equipment is installed, move forward and ordered and all of that uh material there. But the resolution before you now is allows the city to even have that process to begin with and be able to tell the state that we will accept those funds that you have now awarded to the city. If there's any questions on that,
the resolution in the end has to be signed by the council president on behalf of the city council and myself and then sent back off to the executive office of energy environmental affairs at which case they can [clears throat] then send us the funds at that point uh for us to be able to utilize. >> Thank you. Next one. Do any counselors have questions to the mayor while he's
at the podium? Councelor Tony, >> has this item been discussed at the service committee? >> No, this item has not. We actually did didn't get this on the council desk. There's an email from the mayor requesting this to bypass subcommittee uh through rule 14.
>> Thank you. >> Any further questions? Council Kazinskus. >> To the council's [clears throat] comment, too. That was one of the reasons I wanted to have the mayor come forward because it has been some time and this is something that came on the agenda that had not been subcommittee first. So, thank you for the um explanation, Mr. Mayor. >> I think it is a worthy exception to go
directly given also um the time as well. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, council. Council General Outs with the new rule passes. Do we need to take a vote to override? >> Mhm. >> It's already on the agenda. >> Yeah, it was already this agenda is already established,
>> but duly noted. Council journal. >> Any further questions? >> Thank you, M. Thank you very much, Mr. President. >> Motion to adopt the resolution is made by council Kazinskus, second by council allowance to adopt. Is there any further discussion? All those in favor? I
>> I those opposed. No. >> Motion passes. Councelor comments and remarks. Are there any counselor comments and remarks this evening? >> Councelor Haggler. >> Thank you, Mr. President. Just want to
um congratulate the students that were inducted into NHS tonight. It was great to see a lot of us there. Uh and it's pretty exciting for those kiddos. Thank you. >> Congratulations to them. Thank you, counselor. Any further comments? I just have an announcement that I've had the requisite discussions with
