So, there are five types of kennels specified in Massachusetts general law. They're listed in the memo in the second paragraph, and the ordinance that we're talking about describes three of them. It describes personal kennels, commercial boarding or training kennels, and domestic charitable corporation kennels. But I believe this is because we don't currently have any of these in Melrose, and so we haven't gone through thinking through all the rules about them, but this doesn't talk at all about commercial breeder kennels or veterinary kennels.

As I said on an earlier comment, I do think, and along the lines of Councilor Williams' comment, that I'd like to see public engagement that might come from us indicating that we may not approve the lease tonight. I also, through the chair to President Freeman's discussion about the need for more parking downtown that some people have expressed. I'd also like us to think creatively as well about what other ways are to solve that problem if people are having that problem. And obviously, Melrose is very walkable. I usually walk downtown. But even beyond that, there are several events per year where we do shuttles. And people love the shuttles. People take them all over town, right? If 10% of the people who park right now would take a shuttle, we could have a shuttle running from further reaches of Melrose or something like that. So I don't know that parking is the only solution, and that may not be what people see, especially with what their experience is, is, \"I want a place to park.\" But, yeah, I'd like to challenge that slightly and also see what people say in the intervening week and a half.","url":"https://vimeo.com/1208609380#t=2974s","page_url":"/video/3"},{"person":"vandiver-kimberly","date":"2026-07-09","video_id":3,"video_title":"Appropriations and Oversight July 9th 2026","meeting_id":5992,"start_sec":4061.05,"end_sec":4069.3,"similarity":0.858,"text":"Since you're here with us in committee, can you give a brief overview of, in the event that we decide to pass this, what this portion of it would do?","url":"https://vimeo.com/1208609380#t=4061s","page_url":"/video/3"},{"person":"vandiver-kimberly","date":"2026-06-29","video_id":6,"video_title":"Protection and License - Appropriations and Oversight - City Council June 29th 2026","meeting_id":5979,"start_sec":1129.86,"end_sec":1136.11,"similarity":0.81,"text":"Sorry, could you clarify your comment about the snow dumping?
