liberty for and justice for all. Yes. >> People, can you hear me, please? >> Yes, we can hear you. >> Okay. So, everybody can hear. >> Um, today in the agenda, we have a
couple of items on the new business. The first item on the agenda is item 4826 is the creation of the billing analysis position by the water department. So um
do we have Miss Car Garcia the personal director? I will. I'm William Hail, water and sewer commissioner. >> Oh, okay. Hi, William. How are you? Can you state your name and your address, please?
>> Yes. William Hail, water and sewer commissioner, 400 Water Street. Um, I have um a proposed position to be created for the water department. I have a little small slideshow. It's about probably three or four minutes. If I could just share my screen.
>> Okay. sending you a request to uh share. Can you see my screen? >> Yes. Are you able you all are able to see the screen? >> Yes. >> Okay. All right. So, I just have a quick overview.
>> Um, so what was that? >> So, with the growing complex, >> I think I think we're not seeing the right presentation. I mean, we just have a somebody else's screen. >> Yeah, I thought that it was the
um Jean. >> Yep. Um, just have Will will help. I'll help him. >> Okay, >> that was it. >> Okay, so just a quick overview.
So the growing complexity of your water billing operations over the years have um increased. So we have um a flexnet software program that collects all of our data for the water meters. Um every hour
um we will scan the water meters and we get that data to come into the water department. Um so when we get the data there's multiple reports that can be run and we need somebody like 100% of their time to be
running these reports on the back end. Um there's alarms that come through um for high usage. There's tampering alarms. There's probably about 15 or 20 different alarms. Um so right now we currently have three
clerks, an administrative assistant, and then a billing supervisor. The billing analyst position will assist the billing supervisor with over 12,600 bills that we do um per quarter. Um, we definitely
need a backup to help that out. And, um, so the water consumption, we just need to look at that before we send bills out. There's reports that need to be run so we can send accurate bills so that person will be on the back end and then she will give all the reports to the
billing supervisor before they're sent out. So that way we don't have errors. Um, so they look for anomalies in bills. Sometimes we have like, you know, large water consumers that are getting a minimum bill for $26,
but their their bill should be more like 2600 or $5,000, but for some reason there's something wrong with the account and then they get um a a minimum bill of $26. So, there's a possibility that we could lose that revenue.
um we we monitor these accounts, but we need that person to just be in the doing that all the time so we just don't lose track of accounts because if we go past a one quarter, two quarters, they could end up owing a lot of money. Um just so the core responsibilities
they'll analyze the water consumption data um identify regular usage patterns um whether that's you know with leaks or just using more water than normal um and then we can detect leaks meter issues or
billing errors. Um there's nonbuild revenue that we need to identify. So, that's part of um you know, if there's a problem with the water meter and they're getting a low bill, but the bill should be higher, but our system doesn't flag it automatically. It'll send them a low
bill, but we won't get any notification unless we're manually looking at those reports. Um so we want to look at consumption trends of our large users um like you know laundry mats or um any industry that uses a lot of water
because if they use significantly less then we need to find out why before it becomes an issue. So again we'll just validate the data accuracy before these bills are issued. We've had issues where people have had either low or high bills. We've sent
them out and then have have to correct the bills after the fact. But with one person just constantly doing this will be proactive. It'll reduce errors and customer disputes. In the future, we're going to be developing a storm water utility. This
position will help um with that billing system as well and put everything into it. Um it look if you look impervious surface data that's that's like rooftops and driveways. There's a lot that goes into a utility for storm a storm water
utility. So they'll be looking at that as well. Um so the main goal is you know customer service. So we I see it as an opportunity to exceed our customers expectations. Um, we want to be we want people to have confidence in us and just
know that we have an accurate billing system and uh this is what I was talking about a little bit about the revenue capture. So you know we if we build water there's such there's authorized consumption and then there's um unauthorized. So, you
know, a fire hydrant is example of it's authorized to use a fire hydrant. We don't see we don't get bu we don't bill for that water for firefighting purposes. Um, but if there's unauthorized consumption, there's apparent loss and then real loss
that comes to non-revenue water. So, we really need to focus on the water meter that's a parent loss and track those accounts down because people are using that water and they therefore should be build for it. And then just a conclusion, it will strengthen our operational efficiency,
protect revenue, improve data accuracy, supports future initiatives like our storm water utility proposal, and it's a street a strategic investment in our future for the water department. through you. Um I think uh another
screen is being shared. U M you're sharing your um your emails screen. John, can you assist Can you hear me? >> Yes, we can hear you. Let me continue.
Sorry. >> All right. If if there's any questions, I'm happy to answer them. Okay. Councelor, do you have any question regarding the creation of this uh billing analysis position?
I don't have question at that moment. Madam chair, >> you don't have any any question any comments? So neither of the counselor have any question or any comment on this regard? >> No question so far. >> Through you madam chair. >> Okay. Go ahead councelor Rosario. I
believe if if Commissioner Hill it's it's okay with it, we also have to add to this position that at least at the minimum requirement it's it's it's a requirement for this position. Um
if we're going to we should make it uniform in every new position that we've been that we start creating starting now and ask for at least the minimum requirement. Um I haven't seen I don't have uh I didn't see I don't know if we presented it but I didn't if I missed it
I doubt it but I didn't see what the minimum requirements are for this position. So uh if we can state on the ordinance the the candidate must meet at least the minimum requirement for this position. I I will be all in favor for
that >> through you madam chair council. I guess it's um so I did send a >> a job description up and I believe it does have the minimum requirements. It's a high school graduate with one to three years of related work experience and accounting, bookkeeping or billing or
any equivalent combination of education, training experience that provides the required knowledge, skills and abilities to perform the essential functions. But I can um resend that if you for next meeting. >> Okay. >> Okay. So we if we can add that into the
ordinance as a mustave at least the minimum requirement I will be in favor of sending it up with a favor recommendation uh council the Rosario and
okay as far as I know we don't this is a new position and we still do not have like that the language of this position So at this point I think that we should table and send it to the city atonement
to draft the language for this new position that is going to be created at that the labor of the water department. I mean I'm in agreement but again and the language should be stated that the minimum required minimum requirement for
this position should be should be I mean the minimum requirement for this position the candidate should have at least um in the language whatever the language the the commissioner and the city attorney work >> okay >> that should be established on that
>> madam chair madam chair through you um so we do actually have the language and it was drafted so for some reason there was a miscommunication but uh I will be happy to send that over so it was prepared but for some reason it didn't go through.
>> Okay. So uh so you said that you already had the language but it wasn't sended to us. >> Yes. >> Okay. Um still I think that we so and who drafted did you draft it or that was
drafted by the city attorney? >> Uh through Carol's and city attorney both of them have seen it. >> Okay. So uh councelor at this moment because we haven't see it and I think so
that we should make a motion to table to read that we will able like to read it and to make sure that everything is right in there and at the same time we would like to
hear so uh from also from the personal director Mr. Garc Miss Garcia that uh to find out uh a little bit more about it and
this position um we had the pawn for that position too. So currently we're I'm working with the chief finance officer on that at the moment. But I mean it looks like we will for next fiscal year but currently no
this would be a position that will come for next fiscal year and would u go through the budget process as well. >> But I think so that because we are missing a lot of detail. We should I would like to hear from your from your
council a motion like to table until we have all the detail on the position and that we all agree uh for maybe for the next meeting to take him out and discuss it again.

>> I have a question through you, Madame Chair. >> Yes. >> Yes. So I noticed that you have on uh all the items you have uh July but the carnival is on in June. So is
that a mistake in the in all the items or with the dates or because I I know that we've been all part of the money span is in June. >> Can I say something? >> Yeah, sure. It is remembered but that before they used to do the fundraising
in May since we're moving the festival to August he okay >> just wanted to do it closer so he moved it to June that's >> okay all right yeah that that's that clears my my >> thank you any more comment
Lopez um I have a question for you. >> Yes. >> Because he uh um this item they say a fundraising. >> Yeah, it has always been that a fundraising. The one that he brings before the festival. It's a fundraising.
It's still with the same um with the same uh program within the family um festival, but it is a fundraising just to to kind of raise the some some
money for the festival itself. That has always been the setup. It used to be in May for Mother's Days before and because we're moving to August, he just wanted to do it further up to be closer to the festival. As before, we used to do May
and June. Now we will do June and August because there were no other days available for the park recreation. We went for the meeting. So um getting back to what councelor Miguel was asking you I can see in
because it's practically a month it's a month it's a different you know practically one month in between >> yes >> so June 18 and 19 from 5:00 p.m. 11 p.m.
And then again you had June 20 and 21 and the festival is like in July practically either in or July so practically one month later. Yes. Because that is the fundraising the fundraising uh festival well carnival
that has always been done at the cinema. You remember that one? It's >> the same. It's just the dates are changing. That's all. Councelor, any more question? Any more comments? >> And I hear a motion on item 5326.
A motion to send to as a committee report item 5326 to >> There is a motion to send it as a committee report. May I hear a second? >> Already second by councel de Rosario.

cancer meeting. No. >> Yes. Miss Lopez. >> Yes, I will be there. Thank you. >> Okay. Thank you. Is the meeting at 7 o'clock as always?
>> Uh the next item is uh item 5426. >> Not a problem. >> This is the campon common earth day. is a citywide cleanup on April the 25th,
2026 from 7 a.m. to 300 p.m. So is a is groundwork Lawrence. There is any one here from the
institution council. Do you have any comments? Okay. Oh, hi. Good evening. Who's there? Good evening. So there is no one. So council, I would like to hear a motion,
discussion, comments on item 5426. >> I do have a question. I mean something to discuss but a concern. I know um
through you shar um but we don't have anyone from the from groundwork to to respond but um I noticed the dates it's basically for the school vacation so I was wondering if they uh you know took a
look I mean took uh that date into consideration because I know that even though it's vacation week we will have a lot of people out outside of the city and the intention of the Earth Day cleanup is to get everybody involved. Um
so I'm not sure if they actually, you know, look into that. Um though that's my only concern with the dates, but you know, this is a annual cleanup that we we've been doing for a
while now. That's all I had. I'm not sure if anyone from groundwork is online um to provide us any type of comments. >> So uh council me at this moment I don't
see no one from ground work uh online or joining this meeting but I know that this is something that is been celebrated for the last few year >> here in the city of Lawrence. So they bring a lot of people that say a lot of
youth that really enjoy that you know hopefully we don't have a snow by that time and and it's they spend a lot of a lot of good time. So principle the youth you
know that enjoy being part of this hu clean up that is being done in the city. So I would like to hear from the other council what they think and whatever
that's uh motion that they consider that it should be sended. We should be sended to uh the full cancer just as a committee report or
we know recommendation and to be discussed in four at the next council councelor. I would like to hear a motion or do you want to do a motion to table? Well, I was make a motion to send it to
uh full council with federal recommendation item 5426. >> Second. >> So there is a motion to send it to the full council with favor or in favor? I
couldn't hear >> favor or recommendation >> with favor recommendation. >> Yeah. >> Already second by council ready. All those in favor >> discussion. >> There is no question. Madame Clair.
>> Sure. Um roll call for the item 5425. >> 26. >> 26. I'm sorry. 5426. I'm sorry. Councelor Rego de Rosario. >> Yes. >> Councelor Selena Reyes.
>> Yes. Council Frank Miguel. >> Yes. >> Madame Chair Anna Levy. >> Yes. >> Thank you. Motion carries. Next item is the oneway.

in into the uh engineering department and also the DPW. So, we want to send it back to them the item and they will run street study and whatever they decide to do, we will go with with the um with the recommendation that they will send us.
So if it's if I can make a motion to send it to the engineering department, DPW and also the police department who was actually actually involved in the conversation and whatever decision they make who can bring it back. So that will be my motion.
>> Yeah. Second. So, a motion already made it by councelor Rosario to send item 5526 oneway cross street from Manchester
Street to Broadway and that was second from councelor vice chair Miguel. Uh any comment any discussion on this item? All those in favor?
>> I didn't hear any none. >> Rosario, you are all okay. So all of them in favor. >> Any none? So clear.
>> Okay. Um document 5526. Councelor Selena Reyes. >> Yes. >> Councelor Grego del Rosario. >> Yes. >> Council Frank Miguel. >> Yes. >> And Madame Chair Anna Levy.
>> Yes. >> Thank you. Motion carries. Um the next item on the agenda is item 5626 is a shark care parking a hanglo street
by councelor Selena Reo trees and Öza man >> motion to send it to uh Lawrence police. It's a motion to send it to the Lawrence Police Department and I think so that
should be sent also to DPW. So any discussion on this item or any comment? So >> um can you share? >> Yes.
>> Uh it's uh to the Lawrence Police Department and once they send the recommendation then we um I guess I mean if we send it to DPW we will have to rely on >> we have we have to table the iron until
we got the report. >> Yeah. So right now the motion is to send it to Lawrence police department to deporo and to table the item
>> until we got the uh the report. >> May I hear a second for the motion please? >> Was already second. >> It was already second. >> It's already second by councelor de Rosario. No,
>> I second. >> I second it, but Rosario also second and two. >> Okay, >> I heard the Rosario first. >> All those in favor say I. City clear, please.
Councelor Selena Reyes. >> Yes. >> Councelor Grego de Rosario. >> Yes. >> Councelor Franklin Miguel. >> Yes. >> And Madame Chair Anna Levy. >> Yes.
>> Thank you. Motion carries. So the next item to in the agenda is item 572C is remove or a handicap parking
4850 Juniper Street Council Gregor Rosario and Eln Rio Maria. Um, this is uh continuous used to live right next to my house and she came to us before she moved.
>> So, she's already out of the house. >> Um, if uh we can send it right to DPW from here, so they can remove it right away. It doesn't I mean it doesn't require an approval by the full council if we know that it's needed removal. If that's uh if that's okay with you, that
will be my motion to send directly to DPW for removal. Second >> discussion or I I have a comment. So I cancel the Rosario. I want to ask it to send it for
uh to order a public hearing. >> I mean is it I mean we don't need to if we 100% sure there is a removal. if we send it a public hearing is to see if anybody will show up and is against the removal but the owner uh actually is the mother of of the person that is there
and Ida is the the one that actually has the handicap placer and they no longer live in the house. I mean at the end of the day if if you as a chair decided we should send it for a public hearing I mean I believe it's not required when we are 100% sure that it's just a removal
and it's from the actual person that require to have the handicap place in that place. So any other question on this regard? Any comment on this? >> No comment. I'm sorry.
>> No, we don't have no question because uh councelor de Rosal is right. When we be sure the person is asking to remove him, we don't need to ask him for uh public hearings. >> Okay. But we should send it directly to
the uh to the full council. That's I think so that we should send it to the to the full council for the removal. So I'll remove my motion then. Uh whatever you decided is needs to be done chair we'll do. So it's going to delay
the removal of the handicap. Now with the snow, it's it's a parking that is not being used. People need to park. Um again, it's a removal that we know is going to be a removal. There's nobody in that house. The person that actually requested
doesn't need it, doesn't leave there anymore. But if again, if the motion is to send it to the full council for approval, let's go right ahead. I mean, that will be the motion. um will be delaying the removal of this handicap parking and we denying somebody to park

>> Yes, for this specific wilder net it's also similar to the other item. Uh we are we were asked by the mass DOT to install a new traffic cabinet to power traffic lights. They're rebuilding the intersection for Essex Street and
Aimsbury Street. So, we're just providing power to this new cabinet and we need to install a new handhole towards the sidewalk and install uh conduit in between the manhole, the existing manhole and that new handhole to provide electrical power. So, that's
what this specific item is about. So do you have the times that when you are thinking to start doing this? I don't have the uh 100% accurate timeline for mass dot. They plan to have
this done in the early spring. So around April give or take when the ground is more thawed. But I believe some of the work already started for that intersection. like what >> not on not on the electrical portion but
I believe MSDOT is already working on uh doing some of the work within that intersection on the street curbing things like that. So this is the instalics and and street. >> That's right.
>> Okay. So council >> so motion to send uh to full council with federal recommendation item 49325. >> I think you need to order a public hearing. Order public hearing. Ordering a public. Yes.

traffic light cabinet for mass dot at this intersection and they mass dot also plans to do their work in the early spring around April. So that one is on the same anar. >> That's correct.
>> And also you are thinking to start by early spring. >> That's correct. >> Council, there is a motion regarding taking this item from table. So um any discussion on this item?
>> Um through you sir. So is this item related to the same uh project that you were discuss that it was discussed on the previous item 49325? >> Yes. For mass dot project I I don't have a reference for their uh project number
so I can't say for sure. Okay. It's highly likely they are related. >> Okay, thank you. >> So, um, councelor any motion?
>> I believe that we need to make a motion to take it out of table first. Uh I already did a motion to take a IRO table that was uh made by uh councelor Mig and that was uh as by councelor >> Rees
you have that. >> No >> there was no motion made to take it out of table. We took the item before that out of table. This one is still table matters. >> Okay. So motion to take it 3726 out of table install and maintain
on the ground country on an street and Canada street. >> Can I hear a second? >> Second. So motion is already second discussion. Any question or comment?
>> So this um through you share. Uh this is to order a public hearing as well to um Right. Okay. >> Yes. >> So we make a motion to send it to full council to order a public hearing items uh item 3726. Gans, can I hear a second?
>> Second. >> Already second by councelor Selena Rees. Any discussion? All those in favor. >> Hi. >> M. >> Okay.
Roll call for document 3726. Councelor Gregor Gregory Del Rosario. Like what are we voting on? Are we voting on to get it out of table? Are we voting on to send it? Because I haven't vote to to to take it out of table yet
myself. >> I'm not sure. >> Yes, we already did a vote to take it out of table and that was second by council rees. >> We voted on to get it out of table though. Maria, did we Miss Holler, did we vote it on to get it out of the table
or we still discussing an item that's still on table matters? >> No, they uh it was second it was made a motion to take it out of table by the vice chair Franklin Miguel and it was uh seconded by uh councelor Selena Reyes.
>> No vote. No was taken to take it out the table. >> Like you mean when they said uh all eyes? >> Okay. I mean I believe that to take it out the table, we all need a vote on it. Yes or no? You want it out of the table, right? Is that is or I'm wrong.
>> Uh well, sometimes they do it, sometimes it hasn't been done. So >> there's a motion made. It was a motion made to get it out of tape. We never finalized the motion and then uh councelor Miguel put a motion on it to send it to the full council with favor recommendation. What motion are we voting on? That's the question.
>> Uh it's mo on the to send it to the full council and order public hearing. >> Okay. So I vote I vote yes but again we never voted to get it out of the table. We made the motion and we second it but we never voted to take it out of the table.
So discussion there is no discussion. All those in favor say I. any >> I >> any the only thing it happen is like I asked for emotion and everybody get
quiet like it's I don't know but most of the time they get quiet they don't make it the motion and I asked for this to I don't to be bold and practically it's like nobody want to answer me
>> what it is that's the problem >> with all your respect When we on Zoom, we don't we don't do all in favor, right? It's a raw automatic roll call. And that's probably why everybody's quiet. Everybody is probably waiting for the roll call. When you on Zoom, we
don't do all in favor. >> It's a it's an automatic roll call. That's maybe that that's maybe why everybody is quiet waiting for the roll call. I mean, I'm quiet waiting for the roll call because I I know it's not in order to call all those in favor when we when we are in a Zoom meeting, but
that's okay. Another thing is that you call for the motion again but I mean we should wait for the counelors to make the motion. I believe the chair I mean don't make no motions. You request a motion one of the counselor will ask for the motion and then we second it.
>> But I mean we we we jump in we going and we going out of order of everything we've been doing. But that again I might be wrong but we completely out of order what we what we doing. >> Completely out of order.
So, roll call. >> Uh, roll call for document 3726. Um, councelor Grego del Rosario. >> Yes. >> Councelor Selena Reyes.
>> Yes. >> Councelor Franklin Miguel. >> Yes. >> And Madame Chair, Anna Levy, >> yes. >> Okay. All yeses. Motion carries. >> Thank you. So, counelor, any other item that you
