All right. So, I'm going to call this meeting to order. Um, this meeting is being recorded by the appointment and ordinance committee. If any other persons present are doing the same, you must notify the chairperson at this time. Okay. Nobody's recording. We do not
currently have a quorum. So, I'm going to hold off on the roll call of members until Councelor Wendelowski uh phones in. She's going to be appearing remotely. And because she's appearing remotely, all votes are going to have to be roll call votes. And that is just for the knowledge of the public.
So I'm actually gonna text council windows. The reason counselor is appearing remotely is because she's in transit. So I could see her needing a couple of extra seconds to get logged in. She should have all the log information.
Um, members of the public who are in attendance, if you are interested in making public comment or uh making a uh comment during any of the public hearings we have, please uh enter that information in the chat along with your address.
Got a thumbs up from Laura. when when I told her the recording was starting. So, that's a good sign. We've got counselor who's got a sick family member, so they're not here. Another one who is traveling. See, this
has been various extenduating circumstances. One thing that might be useful for you as far as process, at the very end of the packet, there's a statement of principles for this ordinance review we're doing. And so, if you want to take a look at that, that will probably be
this. There's also a spreadsheet that I'll try to find and share with you, which has all the work we've done so far. Yes, I read this. I went through everything on Yeah. And that right there in the PDF of this, there's a link to that spreadsheet
like share if need to. There she is. Okay. Hello, Laura. Whenever you're settled in, we'll do the roll call. She's muted. This is fine. Yeah. One minute of action.
Ready? All right. So, we're going to do a roll call of members. Um, Williams. Councelor Williams present. Uh, councelor Wendeli present here.
And I am councelor Garrett and I am also here. Uh, let's see. Councelor Gordon is not here and neither is uh councelor Golib nor is councelor Bulock present and they all informed us they weren't going to be here so that's not a
surprise. All right, so we have made it through our second agenda item. Let's move on to the minutes of which there are none. I'm assuming that Tammy is still working on them. So we'll just keep rolling. Um, I'm just going to repeat to any members of the public who are online, if you want to make a public comment, please put your name and your
address in chats. Okay, I see no nothing in the chat. So, we're going to move on from public comment. If you want to speak at any of the public hearings, you can speak in any of the individual uh public hearings we're going to do. So,
I will read the public hearing uh heading here. In accordance with home rule charter, the appointments ordinance committee will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, July 9th at 6:30 p.m. at city hall meeting floor, 2nd floor uh 14 court square and on Zoom uh to receive
public input on the following amending the code by adding the following new chapters. 120 Kasro's cultural district committee 122 local cultural council 320 downtown parking benefit district and in addition to amend the code in the following chapters 68 city council

Community Center, 35 Pleasant Street and on Zoom. And so that is that as far as the starting the public hearing. Just going to pull up a paper copy of the first one and I'll ask if there's any comment on
each of these just so we make sure that the public is heard. And so start with the first one. So Patty, if you could just record that at 6:40, we're going to open the public hearing. And I it might be on the second page, I
believe. Okay. Okay. And so this is the chapter 120, the Crossroads Cultural District Committee. And so this um came from the uh economic development department. Um Amy, do you
want to speak to it at all or you're welcome to join us at the table. There is plenty of room. I won't go through it. I will just say just for context that um when the Crossroads Cultural District was formed,
there was a I'm going to call it a task force, though it might have been titled something else. a group of folks who um joined together to create the district um and then they just continued serving as the Crossroads Cultural District, but there was never an actual formal or ordinance put into place to govern um
term limits and all of that sort of thing. So, this ordinance is just to give some structure um and bring that committee into compliance as a fully functional committee. Um, I'm going to ask the public if anyone wants to speak at this public
hearing, uh, please put your name in the chat or frankly turn your, you know, mic off or on and start speaking. If the answer is no, I guess, um, Patty, do you have any questions about this ordinance or Laura? I have no questions. Okay. So, um, at
6, uh, let's see, 42, we're going to close the public hearing on chapter 120, Crossroads Cultural District Committee. What time did you say it was? Uh, 42. 6:42. Okay.
Okay. And the next one is chapter 122, the local cultural council. We're going to open that one at uh 6:42. Excuse me, but there's only one.
Yeah. Oh, that's a good point. Yes. So, what we could just do is just make a note of the opening and closing of it on the same box there. if you just want to list the title. Does that make sense? Okay. Normally there aren't this many public
hearings at the same time. Okay. Very good. So 642 or 64 at this point is the start of the second one which is local cultural council.
opened at 6 44. Okay. Right. Amy, would you like to speak to this one briefly as well? Um I very briefly that similarly this is um to take the uh local cultural council uh organization
and codify it um establish term limits um number of members at seven and just um codify their procedures in an ordinance. happy to answer questions, but uh just again any members of the public wish to speak on the establishment of
local cultural council members public speaking of local cultural council. Um any questions on this one? Yes. So in terms of giving it structure, what kind of what are we saying is the structure? Um so in the ordinance it lays out that
there are seven voting members. It specifies what their term limits are. Um, specifies how they're appointed and gives a little bit of language in terms of what types of folks we would look for. Um, so, uh, members who have some
involvement in the arts, humanities, or science, um, for appointed members to that committee. And what are the term limits? Um, I'm going to read it out here so I don't mess it up. Seven voting members who are appointed for staggered terms of three years. You can serve a maximum
term of maximum number of two terms or a total of six years and then you're required to step off. Okay. Thank you. Sure. The last one was the crossroads cultural districts. Yes, that's that can be you the money for that can be used for multiple purposes including economic
development. This is strictly just the arts and that's the um another distinguishing feature crossroads cultural district is a geographically bounded district which overlaps with the downtown commercial core. Um, local cultural council can be used for cultural projects all over Greenfield.
Okay. Um, I have no questions. We discussed this. Um, Christian Lelant who was in the department came and visited us. So, our questions are answered at the time. So, if you two are all set, then let's close
this section of the public hearing at 6:46. Okay. All right. The next new chapter is chapter 320, the downtown parking benefit district, and we're still at 646. Once more, if you don't mind,
I'm back again. Um, the downtown parking benefit district is a geographically bounded district which um follows the downtown commercial core and it takes a percentage of or a dollar amount out of the authorized parking revenue. So
that's parking revenue from meters um and kiosks but not parking tickets. Puts it into a dedicated fund that can then be used for um improvements and placem that has to do with um parking,
transportation infrastructure um and improvements that just make that downtown commercial space better. So, it could be anything from um uh parking meters purchasing to plants and flowers that make it a nicer place to walk or
trash cans or anything like that. And it's a minimum of 10%, right? It could be more. I think um I believe that that's the way that we had it set up was a minimum of 10. Um the idea being a that gives the mayor flexibility um or gives us flexibility to make it higher, but doesn't lock us
into an amount that's too high. Um, but the goal in this is that the more people you get to come downtown because you're making it more attractive and easier to walk and easier to bike, then that revenue will increase over time and your 10% will increase over time. And I forgot to say, if any members of
the public wish to speak on this, please uh raise your hand and do so. Um, any other questions or All right, so let's close this one at 6:48. Thank you, Amy. Okay, this is now getting into the
amendments rather than new chapters of the code. So, we're on the second bullet under the public hearing agenda item. So, we're looking at chapter 68, city council parking permits, and it is now 6:49. Okay.
And so, just the this one's a pretty simple change. The biggest difference is we used to get parking permits that had that lasted for the term of our office and now they're yearly permits and it's reflected in the code under section A and then the additional change is you
can there if there had been a city council designated parking space it could be taken away. There is no city council designated parking space so it's just struck out because it's a moot point because no one saw it fits to give the counselors a
parking space to fight over. Okay. So, I don't I think this is pretty pretty cut and dry. Yeah. All right. Um, all that being said, it's now 650 and we can close this unless you have some insight on this one, Laura. Okay. Uh, let's move on to So, no public comment on that.
Oh, I'm so sorry. Thank you for calling me out. Uh, anyone have a comment on that one? All right. So now it is still 650 and we can safely conclude the due process was followed and close that.
All right. So the next one is an amendment to chapter uh 164 of the planning board section 2 residence requirements service and other boards and it is
no still 650. Okay. Uh the change on this is again very very simple. There's no longer a Greenfield Monu Transportation Authority. So you could serve on it, but it doesn't exist. It's cross. Okay.
Um any comments from the public on this? Okay. Hearing none. Any questions for members of the committee? All right. We're going to call this public hearing closed at 651. Okay, just following along on the agenda. We are now at 5:15, the
conservation commission section 5A, the clerk. So the context on this uh submission from the department of planning and development is that we are no longer a town and so they changed the word to city in section 550-1 as opposed to town
and that is the and then the other uh change it's a department of planning and development not department of planning and community development. So those two changes are pretty minor and take us in line with the actual governance of the town. Open at what time? Uh, open at 6:52.
Okay. Any comments from the public? All right. Hearing none. Any questions from the committee? Right. So, we're going to close this one at 651 52. Sorry.
So so is now 653 and we're looking at uh chapter 550 planning board section seven, the appeals process. Uh, this is a more significant change than I think most of the rest of the ones that we've seen.
And so, I'm just going to read it in its entirety for the record. This is application form. Uh, no, this is appeals 557 right above it. So, we just did um application form. Yes. And now we're on 550 section 7
appeals. I thought we just did 550 and conservation commission. If I made an error. And now we're doing 550 planning board section one application form. Could have made a mistake. Just double check. Looking at the public hearing.
Yep. Yeah. So the conservation commission 515A about the clerk is on page 31 of the packet and it's the one with the Greenfield Monu Transportation Authority. The one that we just
discussed is 550-1. Yeah. Application form. Yeah. And that's the change from town to city clerk and department of planning and development rather than um community development.
Okay. If I made an error, we should go back through just to make sure we didn't do it. We didn't uh do it incorrectly. Well, let me can I let me read you what I have. So, the number one is the chapter 120 crossroads. Number two, local cultural commission.
Yep. Number three, 320 downtown parking. Yep. Number four, city council parking permit. Yep. Number five, 164 planning board. Number six, 515, conservation. Yep.
Number seven, 550, planning application. Okay. Let's um we'll just let's just run through it to make sure we're crossing all our eyes and done all our sees. Okay. All right. So, uh we'll call this one open at uh 6:49.
I'm sorry, 6 messed up my times. 6 uh 53. Yes. And this is the application form 550 planning board section one. Yes. And this is the change from town to city clerk and department of planning and community development to department of
planning and development. Okay. And that's the only change. Okay. Any comments from members of the public? Any comments from members of the committee? No. Okay. Now we can close the public hearing. Okay. At 6:55.
Thank you. So our next uh amendment is chapter 550 planning board section 7 appeals. Mhm. And we're going to open this one at 6 uh 51. And I was like,
you closed at 655. 55. I'm so sorry. I've messed a couple times. 656. Okay. Okay. And I'm going to read this one just because again, I think it's more complicated and I just wanted to make sure I said this one out loud. Uh, decisions on So, the original language
is decision on site plans made by the planning board may be appealed to the zoning board of appeals in accordance with section 200-8.6 6 the zoning ordinance and with sections 8 and 15 of the zoning act mass general law chapter 48. The proposed change in languages
decisions on site plans reviewed by the inspection inspector of buildings may be appealed to the zoning board of appeals in accordance with uh section 200-63 of this ordinance with sections 8 and 15 of the zoning act general law chapter 48. Decisions on site plan reviewed by the
planning board or by spe a special permit granting authority as part of the special permit application may be appealed superior court in accordance with section 17 of the zoning act master general law chapter 40A. Um any comments from members of the
public on this proposed change. Okay. Hearing none. Any comments or questions from members of the committee on this proposed change? Let me assume that some discussion has happened on this. You said this is a bit more complicated. So could you perhaps absolutely talk a little bit about it.
So the big difference here um site plans are required for you know a number of different kinds of things built in the city. Yeah. Prior there was an automatic right to appeal to the zoning board. This is a change that does not give
um a automatic right to appeal on all site plans but only once as part of a special permit. So less site plans will go through the zoning board of appeals potentially and more would have to go to court if a a butter for example had an objection to
them. So it's a change and but what it also and kind of on the other side of it if someone is trying to build a project if somebody objects to it then they have to go to court to stop it versus going to the zoning court of appeals.
That could be a problem. Yeah. So it's a it's not an insignificant change which is why I wanted to kind of pause on this. Right. So I So okay. So let's talk about the fact. So, I remember a little while back there
were folks down um Country Lane, Country I forget the name of the street, but that area and there were plans for this huge marijuana farm and they uh appealed it and won,
right? But I believe that was done at the CDN. Yeah, that was done at the zoning level. Now, if this passed, they would have to go to court for this and spend money on lawyers. So based on what I'm reading, decision on site plans reviewed by the planning board and the special permag
granting authority may be appealed superior court. I think that's problematic. There's also a reference and I think it's probably worth pulling it up and I'll um I'll pull up section 200-63 of the code. Okay,
I did look this up last night because I was also curious about this. So, I just want to make sure again that we're addressing all the pieces. So, that's part of the zoning ordinance. Got E code up right now.
Okay. Uh, Vice President Carriat. Yes, ma'am. Um, and I'm a little bit double booked, so I just want to make sure I'm able to stay for whatever if there's any votes that need to be taken or recommendations. But,
um, given that this is complicated and two of the people are not part of the regular committee, y I would suggest that we postpone any recommendations on this until the next meeting. I think that's a good
idea. I think there's just some questions and even like what is what is the problem that this change is seeking to address. I I think that's a great point. Um Oh, we got somebody else joining from the public. Let me let him Oh, there's a hand. Oh, that was your hand. Um yeah,
so let's let's um finish let's close this hearing and then when we get to the motions, we'll just we won't forward a recommendation and that way we can have the discussion and have this tabled at the full council meeting or we can just send it to committee chairs for August actually might be a better idea and then
throw it on to because I think this definitely needs more talking about it. So all right, great. Um I won't read section 2-63. I do have it pulled up. I think there is some flexibility, but I'm mindful of
your time. So, let's close this public hearing with that conversation at 7:01. Okay. So, we're at 550 planning board section 11. Yep. 550 section 11. And it is about to
be 7:02 on the clock on the wall, which just by the way, for any members of the public watching this, I'm going on the wall clock, not a computer. All right. So, this is uh the application form. The change here is
similar to the uh 550-1 where it's just changing the word town to city and department of planning and community development to the department of planning and development. And that is the substance of the changes. Anyone from the public want to speak on this one?
Any members of the committee? Okay, we can close this public hearing at it's still 702. That's odd. There's a proposed change that isn't scheduled for public hearing from the recreation department. I got put on this
page. Just going to write that down to follow up without, but there's no public hearing, so we can't talk about it. All right. So, the next item on the agenda is chapter 590, zoning board of appeals, section 7A, regular meetings.
Up here, open at open at 704. Um so this is again the ZBA and the difference on this is a change of uh regular meeting location from the police department to city hall. There's in
addition again the word town turning to city um similar change on the department of planning development instead of permits manager. So that's actually a substantive change, but still. And then
the actually the most substantive change to it isn't in the section we're talking about, so I'll hold off on that. So in section 590-7, it's really just the change of the meeting room spot and the word city is now included. Any members of the public want to speak
on this? Any members of the committee? No. All right, let's close this public hearing at uh 7:05. Let's open the next one which is chapter 590 board appeals section 9 application form and it is
still 705. moment. So this is the application form section where town is changing the city permits manager changing to department of planning development and that's it. Any members of the public want to
comment on chapter 590-9? Any members of the committee? 7 70 76. Thank you tremendously taking us. Thank you. Okay. The fact that it's done is really valuable.
All right. So 706 uh chapter 590 board of appeals section 16 relication. Uh there is a change in this section. So previously um the planning board had to consent to
so both the planning board and the ZBA had to consent to having a reharing if they ruled against something. This change is that so the planning board has nothing to do with the decision if the ZBA rehars a case or not. That's the the
substance of the change. So the ZBA would decide for itself rather than and rather than the planning board and the ZBA having to decide if they hear um from an applicant a second time. And the past practice has always been that the planning board would
and the ZBA had to give approval to do it. So what's the logic behind this change? I think they don't want the planning board based on the plan language they don't want the planning board influencing the decision on it is my understanding
and in has there been discussion in this committee regarding this and what has been the implication this one to be perfectly honest was long enough ago that I don't recall the discussion like I believe that we must have because we went through all of these I could not tell you for the life of me what the logic was behind this
beyond ond just what I kind of just said to you. Okay, that's hard to it's kind of it's hard to grasp what kind of decision should be made on something like that if you don't if we don't have
right. We could also not a recommendation on this one too. I would definitely approve of that because on that it's a little bit more we should consider it. We have to be responsible for this stuff, right? Okay. So, yeah. Then when we get to we're going to get to motions in a bit and what we'll do is just not forward a
recommendation on this. Okay. Now that was just so I have it correctly. 590-16-16. Okay. And just in case I didn't say it, any members of the public have a comment on this? Any other comments from members of the
committee? Okay. All right. So now it is 7 uh let's see 7:08. Okay. We're now going to move on to chapter 550 planning board section 3
review of applications. see it in the packet either. Again, it's not the packet. We can't take action of it. Yeah, it's not in here. So, not in packet.
So, we're not going to open that hearing because there's nothing to open. And so, instead, we're going to move on to chapter 520, Council on Aging, which is replacing the existing ordinance in its entirety with new language. And this
one, we will open at 710. Okay. I'll give you the numbers. 520, Council on Aging. 710 open. Yes. And this one I do remember discussion with pretty distinctly. I know that uh
the chair of the committee u councelor Golib has some amendments that we came up with at the last meeting and so I just I remember supporting the amendments there basically there's a couple changes just language wise they mention um the in article 9 amendments
these ordinances or any section thereof maybe amended revise or repeal by a tutor's majority of vote of this committee the word ordinance isn't appropriate you know to something that the council agent can do so we changed it to these bylaws or something along those lines. Catherine's got the language which she'll bring to the next
meeting because I know she's going to be there. Okay. All right. Um, any members of the public have any comments on this ordinance as it is written? All right. Any members of the committee? Okay. Let's close this public hearing at
7-Eleven and our final amendment. So at the bottom of page 33 there is a reference to 550-3. Okay to discuss. Oh that's a weird spot for it.
What page? 33 of the packet. might not be enough to just Yeah, I don't I'm not comfortable without seeing seeing it. It doesn't seem like a huge change, but we're going to have to do another public
hearing, but let's let's hold off on that just a second. finish the Native American burial grounds and take a look and see if there's enough. All right, so let's um 712. Let's open up 307 Native American burial grounds.
The context on this additional par 712 the context on this. There's a new paragraph added to give Native American tribes a role in discussions and determinations about Native American burial grounds, right? Rather than local tribes. Yep.
Previously, it was less local tribes, which is not appropriate. Okay. All right. Any members of the public wish to speak on this? Any comments from the committee? Um, all that being said, it is now 7:13, so we can close this portion of the
public hearing. Let's just pull up as I'm thinking about it. If we don't do going back to 550 planning board section 3 review of applications now, it has to be posted
again by the city and the newspaper. And if it's not a substantial change, they do say what the change is and it's properly posted. So, I just want to hopefully cover that if we have enough. So, I'm just going to pull up the code, read the context of it so they don't have to do a full public hearing for a
relatively 550 planning board. Section three view of applications. All right. So, uh the addition from the section as it reads now the planning board shall within 10 days transmit one
copy of the site plan to DPW, fire department, inspector of buildings, zoning board, conservation commission, and historical commission for review and comment. Fly above the comment with 30 days should be deemed as no objection to the site plan.
So that's what they want to add is recreation department after inspector of buildings to the people that can comment and review site plans. That's the change. So
it's allowing people to review and comment on site plans. Adding in the recreation department to the review of site plans. Okay. Right. So I I'm comfortable having this be a public hearing. I think that's a fairly simple change regardless of what motion we make on it. Uhhuh.
So, it's 7:15. If there's no objection from the committee, let's open the public hearing on this chapter at 7:15. So, it's again Mhm. uh let's see, chapter 550, uh section 3, review of applications
under the planning board. Uh the public just heard the change outlined. Any comments from members of the public? Okay. Any comments from members of the committee? Yeah. Okay. It is still 7:15 and we'll close the
public hearing at this time. The public hearing is now closed and we can move on in motions. So, this is the chance to decide if we're going to endorse or not endorse
these various items. Uh the first one though is actually the appointments. On page four of your packet, there's a list of people be appointed. Would you uh mind reading starting with the
order number at the top? Order number FY2600-002 city council order city of Greenfield, Massachusetts. Uh, the city council moved that it be ordered that the Greenfield City Council pursuant to charter section 2-10 affirms
the following appointments by the mayor. Agricultural Commission Lumarie Judge term to expire December 31st, 2028. Commission on disability access Jen Ranken term to expire December 31st,

Yes. Can I get a uh motion to on this me? So moved. So moved. And then second. Perfect. All right. Any discussion? I'd like just to offer a friendly amendment. Oh yeah.
Friendly amendment um for two different pieces. The under the historical commission. Let's change it from of to two and then also let's strike Anna Oldman and Michael Thorough because there's no need to appoint them based on the ordinance. I'm just going to start an email right
now with the fiscal order number and any proposed amendments we want to email to the members of the committee. remove two. Um, all right. Any other comments on
this one? All right, we got to do a roll call vote. Okay, let me ask a question first. In terms of recording this, I don't think we have enough spaces on here for everything that we're going to be voting on tonight. So, I'll just do
the best I can. Yeah, that's it's going to be Tammy will take minutes of this. So, this is an aid to her. It's not All right. Yeah. So, it's it's really doing the best that we can as the important part. Okay. All right. So, um who's at the top of the list?
