They didn't come to agreement together. But I do know that I'm not a member of St. Mary's, but they've been great partners of the community for many years. They could've been charging the city a lot of money for many years. It's been well under market, what they've charged us. And frankly, these parking spaces are much needed by our businesses and our residents. So, I am also happy with the new lease. Obviously, it's something that I think the church wants and that also the city wants. Financially, it makes the most sense. I was, and still am, supportive of the one-year lease, just because I wasn't willing to play Russian roulette and have a fence put up . Whether that was going to happen or not, it was just important to me to get a lease on the books. So I just want to just reiterate that I think the church has been a good community partner to us, and I think we just need to have a little bit more communication going forward, both parties. And now that this is sort of in the forefront more, we can all be integral partners as well and kind of ask more questions about the leases going forward.","url":"https://vimeo.com/1211551486#t=6422s","page_url":"/video/2"},{"person":"finocchiaro-cal","date":"2026-07-09","video_id":3,"video_title":"Appropriations and Oversight July 9th 2026","meeting_id":5992,"start_sec":86.94,"end_sec":88.94,"similarity":0.609,"text":"Make a motion to open public comment.","url":"https://vimeo.com/1208609380#t=86s","page_url":"/video/3"},{"person":"finocchiaro-cal","date":"2026-07-09","video_id":3,"video_title":"Appropriations and Oversight July 9th 2026","meeting_id":5992,"start_sec":130.16,"end_sec":131.91,"similarity":0.622,"text":"Make a motion to close public comment.","url":"https://vimeo.com/1208609380#t=130s","page_url":"/video/3"},{"person":"finocchiaro-cal","date":"2026-07-09","video_id":3,"video_title":"Appropriations and Oversight July 9th 2026","meeting_id":5992,"start_sec":450.56,"end_sec":459.74,"similarity":0.777,"text":"Thank you.

Our own state representative voted in favor of that legislation. Reasonable people can disagree about the legal arguments surrounding the issue. What is harder to dispute is the message it sends when government appears to resist the oversight that voters overwhelmingly endorsed. Independent audits are not punishment. They are a standard tool used throughout government, as we do here in Melrose, to promote transparency and responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars. I will also note that when I introduced an earlier version of this resolution, I was encouraged to withdraw it because of concerns that speaking out on this issue could jeopardize state funding for our community. Whether those concerns were well-founded or not, I found it troubling that a discussion about accountability could be accompanied by fears of political consequences. At its core, this resolution is about a simple principle. Government derives its authority from the people, and when voters speak so clearly, the decision deserves respect. So I respectfully ask for your support tonight.

Again, I appreciate the conversation we're having around the table. I too obviously support more housing in the community. I think, like I've said this before, I think we're doing a good job in Melrose of putting up a lot of housing around. I just think that this house is very different than even potentially the building that went up across City Hall. Is, for our purposes in Melrose, a historical figure. And I think that it's also a beautiful house. And we're not looking to make every single old home a historic district. I think this one is just special. So, we're not looking to thwart housing from happening, but I think it's gotten this far. This house, obviously the people, like someone like Lori Massa, who's in the Planning Department, supports this, and I know she's very supportive of housing, so I don't think someone like that would do anything to prevent that from happening. So anyways, obviously you know I support this. I just gave my two cents.","url":"https://vimeo.com/1201640850#t=6277s","page_url":"/video/10"},{"person":"finocchiaro-cal","date":"2026-06-15","video_id":10,"video_title":"Melrose City Council June 15th 2026","meeting_id":5968,"start_sec":6579.81,"end_sec":6584.06,"similarity":0.644,"text":"I forget what Rule 36 reports are, because we don't have them that often.
