Council Rees present thank you our next speaker is former city councilor Rich Russell name and address for the record please good evening Council as my name's uh Rich Russell reside at 34 cross street uh several issues first on May 15th the city clerk's office received the public record request from me asking the simple question as to whom uh who the nonprofit agency broadcasting the videos of the council meeting on TVR 10 business days were over on May 30th here it is June 18th and I have had no response positive and negative from anyone in 200 Common Street I will be pulling out my copy of the secretary galvin's public record request manual to find out what my alternatives are next while going through the council agenda on a podcast I noticed agenda item 466 23 regarding the replacement of several Monument Flacks with the following note in parenthesis anti anticipated Monument revisions after July 1st 2024 with the fy2 budget this item was approved by the Council on March 19th of this year my question is with all of the money being shifted around between budget Accounts at the end of this budget year why couldn't the money be found to redo the plaques now instead of being shuffled to the back of the store just like a RL Pac was treated now to get really serious when is the city going to find a way to let citizens know what the schedule for grinding down and repaving these roadways are having worked around construction a little bit I can understand the maximizing the use of equipment instead of constantly moving it out and bringing it back when you allow Paving Contractors to totally screw up major roadways in the city at the same time it makes me wonder and other makes me and others wonder how in the world these contractors were hired without having some restrictions on they grind and repave when they get to it attitude maybe if somebody in the Brain Trust in this building had half a brain in their head they would offer at a discount rate to the Commanding General of Aberdine Proving Ground the use of our streets to test out army tanks on thank you for the chance to address you and like Congress people in Washington I relinquish the rest of my time thank you our next speaker is lisis roblas name and address for the record please Luis robes 183 Abbot Street on June 5th I composed an email to the council expressing my concern about his behavior specifically I highlighted the persistent interruptions and the troubling public accusations of racism directed at my district my message received no response from the council instead he referred my email uh he referred to my email during a public broadcast uh rather than acknowledging any missteps he doubled down on the racist allegations and portrayed himself as the victim claiming that he was the one being interrupted later I follow up with another email on June 11th attempting to engage in a recent in a reasonable dialogue as expected my efforts were met with silence once more not even a generic acknowledgement such as a thank you for your email or thank you for your for reaching out but I disagree was extended to me this lack of responsiveness reveals a defic Y in humility and an inability to accept constructive criticism a far cry from the qualities that one expects in a good leader within our council chambers Applause and signs are prohibited yet the council has managed to desecrate the decorum with his behavior his actions extend beyond mere disagreement he publicly accused a colleague of racism under the air under the public Ral Airways when press for evidence to substantial these claims he deflects directing us to the city cler for research however expecting working-class individuals to spend hours sitting through documents is unrealistic and disrespectful of their time the burden of proof is on the accuser not on the defendant it's disheartening to witness behavior that goes unchallenged especially when it perpetuates fear and stifles open dialogue your observation about The Silence from both Latinos and white people in the community highlights a complex Dynamic one where Fe Fe of being accused falsely accused often a ways that desire to advocate for what is right but I don't care if they get falsely accused for anything imagine being falsely accused and yearning for someone regardless of their background to stand up for you it's a powerful reminder of empathy and solidarity should be should transcend racial lines a Latinos we bear responsibility to accept each individual and treat everyone with respect our commitment to inclusivity extends Beyond any specific group let let's Champion a new era one where all voices are heard and where respect prevails let's commit to fostering constructive dialogue in the city CH ccil Chambers and respectful debate when discussing important issues personal attacks only hinder progress and divide our community thank you Mr Mr robas that is your two and a half minute mark thank you

persons wishing to be heard shall be afforded the opportunity the public hearing is now open is there anyone wishing to to be heard on this matter councelor Russell good evening I'm still Rich Russell 34 cross street the only question I have about this is and I I want to ask it about low Street also but that's that's down the uh that's water down the drain the this parking restriction that's going to take place is this going to be permanent or is this going to be a temporary thing during the construction in of the new police station and the destruction of the old police station that's all I really want to know parking in downtown Lawrence is limited I had to use some words fancy words limited best taking these spaces away is really uh not not a progressive move my estimation but that's what I really want to know permanent or temporary thank you we do have detective Cy here with us this evening that may be able to answer this question for you good evening Madame vice president members of the council Thomas cudy Lawrence Police Department 9 L Street Lawrence Massachusetts uh to answer councelor meridi Russell's um uh question that came up at the committee on ordinance chaired by for council president Le plant um and that issue come up this is only for the duration which we hope will be quick of the building of the new police station um to the point uh that Mr Russell brought up we had we monitored these these spots for several weeks before we actually months in the case of hry prior to making the request of you to approve this and they were used very very little dur during peak hours of the U post office in Norther exus Community College I think once people had to pay for those spots through the city um metering system I think that curtailed the parking in those spots uh very few people have used low Street since the kios were put in so uh there'll be very little impact and I think Council of delario brought up in the committee meeting as well that if the public needs to park in these SPS during business hours of the police department no one's going to say wait a minute you're not a police official but you're doing business in the police department you'll be able to park there as well so it should have very little impact to the um residents of the city thank you any other is there anyone else wishing to be heard on this matter seeing none the public hearing is now closed I will entertain a motion motion to approve motion has been made by Council dezario secreted by Council Lon discussion discussion councelor leant so this came out of the committee with with an amendment and I just want to make sure the amendment is part of the of the motion as well can we confirm that that was part of the part of the part of the motion can you repeat what the amendment sure so what we did on on the two different there's two different items on this particular item uh we were allowing this per this parking to be continued until such time where the where there is further parking when to tear down of the building takes place and there's an additional parking that does not require the need for these dedicated spaces so there was a a condition uh that was placed on that came from the committee and I believe came as well at the full Council level as part of a public hearing notice Madame clerk do we have that Amendment as part of that definitely is not in the public hearing notice it was amended on the L Street one at the full Council after the public hearing um but when we ordered the public hearing on this what that's not how it was published yeah you can amend it now despite not being published that way yeah um who made the motion it was councelor Del Rosario Mr councelor Del Rosario accept a friendly moment to Friendly Amendment to accept the uh to accept the U amendment to uh allow this permit parking to be in in effect until uh further parking uh is produced in that area I accept the amendment Madame clerk do you have perfect okay so amendment has been accepted seconded by councilor lzone any other further discussion seeing none all those in favor say I I and the eyes have it okay we're going right into committee no Communications from the mayor City officials or city is actually this may be a good time so we actually do have it's not on the agenda but we do have some communication from our City attorney that I was just told about before the meeting started I'm going to call attorney who to the podium good evening Council vice president members of the board um I'm actually going to address three items on your agenda and one item that you previously heard I just want to be specific if this came from the city attorney's office um if you look at uh 274 of 24 2 274 24 resend the reimbursement requirement for creating a thriving Lawrence and you also look on page four under new business 299 of 24 and 301 of 24 which is also requesting recent reimbursement requirements okay yep okay it is the position of the City attorney that these are not correct you cannot do this what happened is that these went out as reimbursement Awards so Lawrence has one of the distinctions of having probably the most nonprofits of any city or town in the Comm the Massachusetts you send out what you're going to do with rules and the rules are as follows and you have to follow those rules if you want to get the loan that you want to receive this money the rules were that this is reimbursable so my nonprofit who might have no money whatsoever did not apply for these loans why because I don't have the money to spend UPF front to get reimbursed so what you've done is you've told those people you cannot apply now everybody that applied understood they had to pay their money up front and they would get reimbursed now what you're saying is we now have select few people that are remaining who now tell you oh we did apply to be reimbursed but now we want the rules changed for us you can't do it you have to take this money you have to go back and you if you want to make it non-reimbursable you have to put out a new order to say I have this amount of money 100 500 700,000 to be used for this purpose it is not going to be reimbursable and I want you that's the way I want it to proceed you cannot pick and choose you are selectively choosing people and changing the rules for these select people that's that's not allow thank you uh give me one second counil Del Rosario quick question for you uh attorney hen for item 27424 this item was brought to us by the community development director was she informed by the administration or yourself about this before bringing this item to the council agenda it was never brought to me beforehand okay thank you councelor is any councel Rosario thank you to you m sh I also Place some items in there and I and I place it due to the fact right I I addressed those yes and and and I place it due to the fact that also those organizations did not have the money but because we approve one right they felt entitled to be approved to and I agree with what you're saying what I don't agree is and and and and with all your respect uh attorney hoon is that you send partial email just to a couple of people here at the council saying what you're saying right now none of us got the email and and it and it looks it looks to me it looks to me and it's been looking to me with all your respect that you say one thing today as an attorney and then the next day you said it's your personal opinion so I'm just wondering which way are we going are we going with your personal opinion today or with the actually legal matters that you saying is legally and I heard you before and I heard a lot of people before saying that while we were doing it and that's why I did abstain on that vote on that day because I knew I read what you said to somebody here one of the colleagues but none of us not all of us got that email and we should got all of us should have got that email before we before my colleagues whoever voted in favor or against it would would have read it and and and be because it was your recommendation your legal recommendation I'm assuming that's correct and and and that was that was the decision making because I got the chance to read it read it I abstained to that vote right but some of my colleagues did not receed it so we need to be on the same page when it comes to legal matters we cannot be having new personal opinions on one side and then new legal advice on the the other and that's why all those organization when they heard what they heard they contact me some of them contact me some of them maybe contact uh the the uh the um development director to try to get what he gets and and and and I think we should have we should be all on the same page is it legal or is a personal opinion when it comes to legal matters and and that's what that's concerning right now so um just so you're aware um the other day in the mayor's office uh there was a councelor president I was brought let's call it on the carpet for that very reason that you're speaking I made an assumption it was an incorrect assumption I presented it to the president of the city council I made the Assumption which was wrong that he would in fact share it with the board he did not share it with the board that's my apology that's that's my fault I should have given it to the whole board again with many items in due respect my position has been to limit I I never want to embarrass anybody I don't ever want to say you're doing the wrong thing in public I I prefer to do it in private um that's why I tried to do it through the city council the mayor's office explicitly Council will tell you um a very long time chastise me it will never happen again if I have any communication that needs to go to this Council it will go to each and every member of this Council it will not go to one particular Council even if it even if it involves one particular Council I will make sure that the entire council is is addressed and I do apologize you are correct that's exactly what I did and and I do set your apology but when it comes to legal matters we should not have personal opinions into legal matter it should be legal matters and legal opinion I mean it it it it it's one thing that what I think and what is legal and and that's why I did it in a memo form usually if it's a legal opinion or you're looking for I I tend to do it in writing so that you can see these items were addressed tonight again I was as I say brought on the carpet and asked to appear here tonight um so that because I say I think some people misinterpreted the mayor's um opposition to that the one that passed um he was doing that as a result of my opinion uh not my opinion of of of my legal decision and um people assumed that it was the mayor that was opposed to it it was not it was the mayor after confirming with me tell me telling him I do not believe that is correct I do not believe you can change the rules in the middle of the of this however thank you thank you you do understand councelor D Rosario's concern that although you're communicating with the mayor you do have nine counselors that did not not the full Council understood I heard perfect Council Reyes will was pres and she will tell you that believe me I heard it over and over and over thank you any other comments or questions for the attorney uh senior advisor spanner council president councilors good evening uh I appreciate this uh the correction of of our City attorney but I would like also like to say because um in the media the mayor was portrayed as being um uh unilaterally uh sorry being taking decisions on its own without the respect of the of the city council and that was something very um that was not appreciated by by the administrations particularly the mayor so that's one of the reasons why the discussion we had a meeting with with our City attorney because the mayor was seen and we received many calls probably yourselves have received calls in terms of what's going to happen with the with with the funds and with the grants and that was not that was not appreciated by the administration so now the public knows and we want to make it clear that the mayor did the right thing he followed the advice of the City attorney it was brought to you and also I made the uh on behalf of the mayor I wanted to make a a suggestion that night to table the matter until you would have received the information because I remember uh councelor um uh mark llant received the information and unfortunately some of you didn't receive the uh the document but to rest this case you know and now the public knows that the mayor didn't have any didn't make any decision other than what was recommended to him Cil thank you give me uh one second I'm going to take this opportunity to address my colleagues and I think this is a Learning lesson for all of us I ask that if any of you received Communications um from the city attorney or the Administration that will be helpful in decision making processes for this board I ask that you share it um that way we can all be on the same page and moving forward it won't be any confusion or or anything although I it's the message has been loud and clear but I'm going to ask the same thing of of this of this body thank you councelor lzone uh I just want to make a comment in regards to what uh the advisor Banner just mentioned so it took the administration months to figure it out that the money allocated for the other organization was not supposed to that that item was not supposed to the city council it took months for you guys to figure that out since campaigning we had the same discussion about the funds that were supposed to go to feder the commerci Ed so yes spanner my uh advisor spanner the maor knew what he was doing he was denying the Federation commerci uh the money that I was allocated to then base in another uh uh base in another reasons not the ones that you explain now so we took the City attorney also so months and weeks to figure it out that the city council was not supposed to approve that amount of money am I correct how many months advisor spanner advisor span I I would answer this question it was upon request by several city council uh members that requested the mayor to present this case of the reimbursement back to the city council as we should because the money is done going to be transferred from one Department to the other which is an executive decision but if it's going to be transferred from a department I mean from a nonprofit allocated to a nonprofit organization and transferred to the city to a city Department I believe at that time there was a request from the city councilors particularly sponsored by uh councelor Mar leant at that time and and city counselor which is now Senator uh Pavel payano to stipulate the condition addition that these funds would come back to the item would come back before the city council and you would vote on it and that's exactly what the mayor did we went back back and forth and it's not false what the mayor stated the mayor did for the best interest what was requested from him as the mayor to bring the item back before the city council and that's exactly what they did how many months it took for the administration to figure it out that that's my question it was not it was based on recommendation C based on recommendation uh at the end of the process so you guys were dealing with this situation since the campaign and I'm going to put it out out there yes because we had me personally as the president of feder the commerci had different meetings with the mayor speaking uh going over the same issues so we took the administration and the City attorney months to figure this out and now we have a director uh director pel requesting money so she's not even aware or this is saying uh according to you you use a term well I don't I think you use a term that illegal or that we're not supposed to approve it but we have now a city councelor and a director of a department requesting the same process for money uh allocated to other two different organization so it looks like that the administration is not paying attention or they don't know what they're doing and also the attorney doesn't know what he's doing cuz he keep changing his mind so for the people that are watching the pen Administration took more than eight or nine months to figure it out that that money was not supposed to be sent to the city council so just be clear on that uh advisor spanner thank you councelor Lon councelor the plant thank you I just want to make sure that we're clear um I believe the city attor not the city the city clerk send us the letter prior to the vote that was referenced earlier this evening so we all had a copy of that prior to our vote that evening and I'm looking through my I'm trying to go through my my packet I believe that we also had as part of our packet I'm kind of going through it right now while people are speaking just to confirm that but that's my belief that that was also part of the package so it was sent to us two different uh two different times thank you madam thank you councelor attorney attorney hen what is your recomend so we have an item under the the budget and finance committee and we have two new business items what is your recommendation given the information that you're presenting us at the moment that they' be removed from your calendar um so just so we're clear I have no problem with the money going to these organizations if these organizations want to front the money they will get the grants that's the rules I think they're they're wonderful organizations they deserve the money you just can't change the rules and to address Council lones when the first time I found out that they were changing the rules was the day I wrote my memo I'm not privy to everything that happen in this in this city city council does many things that I I don't review the administration does many things I don't review I I don't look at everything I can only look at what people presented to him I made I was made aware of that as a result of being made aware of that I filed my memo but I would recommend that all these matters be taken off and that Community Development again put these matters out for a bit unless these organizations somehow can front the money in which case they they they're still entitled to it that's how they applied for it that they had the money to front and that they would get reimbursed thank you uh uh advisor Spanish Vice chair it is in in response uh when we submitted uh we published the driving Lawrence uh creating a driving uh lawence uh Grant it was open to the public to apply that was the process to use the arpa funding so it's incorrect to say that this Administration didn't use it it didn't uh follow process or we didn't or we were stalling purposely uh it is incumbent upon both the administration as well as City councilors to be informed of all of this because they have Public public information and it's shared with you during the the whenever we we address these issues now the striving Lawrence uh program uh vice president was something that initiated in previous administ uh the previous city council so if you if to my in my view my personal view if you know that there a grant that's being used it is your duty as a city councelor to also inform yourself of what the condition and requirements are from the program thank you my last comment before moving forward into the committee reports um I do want to say the first item that we had regarding this did come from you advisor spanner so there there is a miscommunication between ample various stakeholders so we want to make sure that we're all on the same page moving forward about items and identical items like this Madam chair I just want I just want to correct councelor the plant thank you so I just want to I did confirm on our June 4th packet that letter was part of our materials that we received for that evening's vote so we had it prior to the vote I just want to make sure that we're all on the same page and I know that the attorney's doing the best that he can to try to get information out he didn't make a mention that he's going to change the process as far as getting information distrib uted uh but I just want everybody to know that we all had the information prior to Casting a vote on June 4th thank you Madame chair Council Lon uh for the record I just want the people that are watching the people that are present to know that the mayor chooses and pick what counselors should see certain uh communication and and and and and and and I'm referring to that letter that they sent about the the funds that the feder receive thank you coun councel moving on uh thank Youk is councilor Rosario thank you to you and and now that I have you at at attorney Hood I had to call you to get that correspondence did I call you for it right I never got it in my pocket I never got it and and the same way you said it it we were informed me in that meeting that the president of this city council actually received that email and he did not share it with the people that did not get it um and I had and that's why I took the initiative to call you to get it and I appreciate that you I agree with that and I appreciate it you sent it to me right that day we we realized that two counselors in this board had the letter and that's why I call you to try to get it to see what was going on and I was perpetrated in every social media as I was I was against given the the com the people that do works the commercials people without I that I didn't want to give the money and the decision that I made abstaining on the vote it was because your recommendation and not because you gave it to me and not because the mayor gave it to me because I went out and got it thank you councilor Zario moving thank you attorney H moving forward committee committee report budget
