Following that meeting, the city and archdiocese agreed on a new revised three-year lease that'll be before the council this evening. This revised lease replaces the one previously submitted by the mayor with this order. So a yes vote tonight will to be approved the revised lease as submitted by the mayor on July 14th. With that, Councilor Romanul. Thank you, Mr. President. This order comes to us from the Appropriations and Oversight Committee with a recommendation not for passage, as originally scripted or as originally intended. As you alluded to, there have been some substantial changes since our most recent meeting, including the dollar amount with an escalator clause, as well as an end date of June 30th, 2029 instead of June 30th, 2027. So, since I was chairing the meeting, I didn't get an opportunity to opine, so just if you'll indulge me, I'll say that during that discussion, the one-year timeline rubbed me the wrong way. It doesn't give us a lot of time to proactively plan for the future of our downtown. And my goal was really to force a longer-term discussion, and I'm so pleased that the conversation has evolved to the degree that it has. I'll say that my secondary goal here was to have these conversations concurrently with the police station, which the timelines will start to line up more readily given the lease that's before us, and that contiguous space can be of great value to our community and to our businesses. And I'm very sensitive to the success of our business owners, making sure that our downtown is thriving. Making sure that we have adequate mobility to those spaces is paramount. I also want us to be cognizant of the conversation as it evolves to mobility of people and not necessarily vehicles. And I get that we also have a parking shortage for what we have now, and those ideas are intentioned, but I'd like to hold those together as we think about future planning. So, I'd like us to move more towards long-term planning and some thoughtful mobility studies for the future. So this buys us a little more time, and with that, I will motion to approve the revised lease statement as submitted on July 14th, 2026, relative to the parking lot near St. Mary's Church on 41 Myrtle Street in Melrose. Second. There's a motion to approve the revised lease agreement made by Chair Romanul, seconded by Councilor Finocchiaro. Going to Councilor Williams on discussion.
