Transcript

▶ 41:21 Devin Romanul: My name is Devin Roman. I'm the vice chair of this committee, substituting for chair Jamal Dean. I'm also joined tonight by, uh, voting members Gar Vandiver and President Melli and non-voting members, Williams Hamilton, Karachi, and Reky. Um, this serves as a notice for the quorum in accordance with open meeting law. This meeting is being recorded and broadcast live on MMTV. If there are no objections, the minutes from Thursday, uh, excuse me, the July 21st meeting will be approved as presented. Seeing no objection, those minutes are now approved. I'll now motion by unanimous consent to open the floor for public comment. Seeing no objection, public comment is now open. This is the portion of the meeting

▶ 41:59 Devin Romanul: where anyone can speak on any of our agenda items tonight. Do we have anyone here who wishes to speak on tonight's agenda or online? Alright, if there's no objection, I'll motion to close. Close. Oh, close public comment. Seeing none, we are now closed for public comment. And with that I'll entertain a motion to recess. So, Motion recess by Councillor Repe. Second. Second by Councillor Stewart. All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Opposed? Opposed? Alright. We are now in recess. Alright. Appropriations is now, um, now back. The administration would, uh, kindly move up to the table and next up we have, uh, council Williams in the queue for questions. Thank the floor Council Williams. Thank you. You're welcome. Okay.

▶ 46:21 Amending Chapter four, the revised ordinances of the City of Melrose to insert a new section four dash 15 payment of taxes as a condition of city facility rental. Good evening. Good evening counselors. Um, so before you tonight, um, as just mentioned, is a request to amend the city code to add a new section. Four 15. Um, this would apply to require taxes, any municipal charges and fees to have been paid at the time someone signs an agreement for a city facility rental. So this, um, mirrors the process we now have with licenses and permits, for example. So our treasure collector has a list, um, that she keeps of anyone that's delinquent on taxes, municipal charges and fees that she will send to inspection services,

▶ 47:03 liquor license, commission, et cetera. Anyone that's seeking a license or permit, we're just looking for the same process to also apply to any facility rental. So that would be Parks, property structures under operated by the city, including school and city buildings, Memorial Hall, the BB Estate, Milano Center. A lot of these, um, buildings such as Memorial Hall bb, they have their own boards that have complete control of a rental, but they do have to follow city ordinances, which is why, why we're looking to insert this into the city ordinance. So this would become a standard part of the process, um, when they're entering into these agreements. Happy to answer any questions anyone might have.

▶ 47:40 Devin Romanul: Any counselors have any questions? What is the will of the committee Motion to recommend for passage? Second, Motion to recommend by Councillor Es Seconded by Councillor Vandiver on discussion. All those in favor? Aye. A. Aye. All those opposed? Alright. The ayes have it. Motion passes. Thank you. Thank you very much. Call, call. Do you need a roll call under the ordinance? Um, yep. Sure. What? Um, Yeah, I do say roll Call. Alright. I apologize. Vice Chair Romanul? Yes. Council Garey? Yes. Council Vandiver? Yes. President Midgley? Yes. Motion passes. Motion passes. Thank you very much. Alright, second item on our agenda ID number 1 2 7 4 2 amending chapter 1 98 of the revised ordinances of the city

▶ 48:42 of Melrose, solid waste and recycling to update language to reflect current programs. Join us tonight are members of the Department of Public Works. Thank you so much for coming. Thank you. Um, I think you probably all know Jay Coy by now our acting acting city engineer. Um, thank you for having us. So I thought I would just quickly go through the bullets in the memo that we submitted, um, which with each of the ordinances, and then if you have any questions, um, just to summarize what the intention was of each set of updates. So, uh, for solid waste and recycling, that's what you said this one is? Correct. Okay. Um, so we, on a previous edit, we had added and recycling to the name of the ordinance,

▶ 49:25 but somehow that just never made it into the formal ordinance. So we've added that again. Um, we are adding requirements for the type and placement of curbside compost receptacles. Now that we have curb curbside compost preferred vendor, um, we've, uh, extended the applicability of the violations. For some reason they were only in reference to all, except for one section of the ordinance. So we just extended it to encompass the whole, that whole section. Um, clarifying some provisions about mattress pickup and agents of the city versus the city itself, since we have different contractors doing different things. Um, correcting the reference to what line on the tax form we use for our discount programs

▶ 50:10 for consistency with both current practice and the water and sewer discount wording. Um, correcting references to recycling receptacle types. Somehow we missed that when we, when we entered into the new curbside program with the toters, we somehow missed some of the language in the recycling section. Um, we had an inconsistency on the duration of dumpster permits between two different sections of the ordinance. That's, that's corrected. And, um, an update just on the, on article four for consistency with current practice and compliance with state requirements. Thank you very much. Uh, do counselors, any counselors have any questions? Councillor ver Uh, thank you. I was just wondering whether, um, uh, whether the director

▶ 50:55 Kimberly Vandiver: and whether the council would be amenable to, um, in this section where we talk about, um, the discount program. Last year we passed something with two parts effective July 1st, 2024, effective July 1st, 2025, whether for clarity, um, it would make sense to do an amendment as well to strike out the part that was only applicable from last July through this July. And just clean that up a little, But Yes. So to take out the part that's no longer applicable Exactly. And just leave in starting July, 2025. Yeah. What's applicable? Yeah, Yeah, yeah. Um, in that case, um, can I propose an amendment now then? Would that be okay? Um, so I would, um, Propose, lemme get To that section. Uh, uh, so on top of the existing red line,

▶ 51:45 Kimberly Vandiver: I would propose the further amendment, uh, in, uh, section H three B, uh, To strike The First sentence that begins effective July 1st, 2024. Alright. Motion made by Councillor Vandiver and section H three B to strike the first sentence, beginning with effective July, 2024. Is there a second Just point of clarification? Yes. What, which document are we looking at that I don't see? Um, I'm in, so under, so we're in section four orders number two A and on that, so A, there's a red line document attached. Yep. Uh, and then I'm on page six of that document, A section that B at the top of the sixth Page. So it's section 1 9 8 3 s, rubbish yard. That one? Mm-hmm. Okay. So section 1 9 8 3. Section H three B. Exactly.

▶ 53:04 Kimberly Vandiver: Okay, Thank you. Uh, so, uh, this is the change we made last year, um, where we had stepped that program over two years. So I would just recommend taking out the first sentence in B. Yeah. Okay. And, uh, potentially even the next three, four words after that, effective July 1st, 2025, we could leave it at any resident Melrose who owns and occupies. And just take out the, the dates at which that changed. Second. Alright. Motion made by Councillor Vandiver, second by President Mickler to strike, uh, sentence beginning effective, um, all the way through the end of the date, effective July 1st, 2025. So the new section would begin with any resident of Melrose who owns or occupies single family home.

▶ 53:53 Do I have that correct? Alright. Thank you very much. That's The proposal. Motion made and seconded on discussion. Right. All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Aye. All those opposed? Alright. The ayes have it section, uh, B, that first sentence and first viewers, they're struck. Any other counselors have questions for Councilor Gareg? Yeah, I just have one quick question on 1 1 98 dash eight, um, temporary dumpsters where eliminating not to exceed 60 days in renewal after 60 days. Just curious on the renewal. Is it another, uh, permit, um, charge? Um, Um, no, it's typically not another charge. We just extend the permit and, and you'll notice in 1 98 9 it does say the permit shall be valid for 30 days

▶ 54:52 and renewable in additional 30 day intervals. So that's why we deleted the 60 days just because it was contradictory. But yeah, our practice is not to, um, to keep charging a new fee each time typically. And we're reducing from 60 to 30. Well, the 30 was already in there. Both were in there before. Okay. Yeah. And 30 is what we've been doing. Got it. So we're, so it's consistent with our actual practice. Thank you. Yep. Any other questions from counselors? Alright. What is the will of the committee Make a motion to recommend? Motion? Motion to recommend by Councilor Vandiver. Second. Second by Councilor Repe on discussion. Madam Clerk, will you call the roll please? Yep. Okay. Vice Chair Romanul.

▶ 55:41 Yes. Council gpe? Yes. Council Vander Bear. Yes. President Elli? Yes. Motion passes. Alright. Motion passes. Thank you very much. Thank you. Moving on to our second item ID number 1 2 7 4 3 amending chapter 2 0 2 of the revised ordinance of the city of Melrose Streets and Sidewalks. Okay. So for streets and sidewalks, um, I'll do the same. I'll just run through the memo that we submitted with the red line version. Um, so first off, the first change updates the language in section 2 0 2 3 to allow bicycles to be ridden on sidewalks except in business districts and excluding motorized vehicles not needed for mobility purposes. That has been our practice. And just to explain a little bit of the reasoning behind that too.

▶ 56:31 Um, when we apply for our Complete Streets grant projects, we have oftentimes stated that in elementary school neighborhoods improvements to sidewalks are improvements to cycling, um, facilities because, you know, on, on road bike lanes are not really the right treatment for six year olds riding a bike to school. Um, and so we've sort of taken credit for sidewalks being our preferred method of little kids riding their bikes to school. And we've always had this language in the ordinance, which has been a little inconsistent with sort of what we're trying to, um, encourage, especially in those, um, school districts. So I thought that we would clean that up. Um, removing the reference to refundable deposits for the

▶ 57:18 engineering division permits. In the 10 years I've been here, we've never collected deposits, so I'm not sure how old that, um, provision is, but it's not something we've done in the last decade. Uh, the bonds, we have upped our bonds to 10,000 performance and payments bonds instead of 5,000 because 5,000 really doesn't cover. Um, if we have a road that's not properly repaired from a trench 5,000 doesn't cut it anymore. If we had required a curb to curb restoration, um, we've updated the insurance language for consistency with current and future requirements. I believe we just changed it to a reference to the city's current insurance. Um, rather than putting in the specific numbers, clarified the work hour provisions

▶ 58:01 clarified the applicability of construction procedures in the ordinance, um, to be consistent with current practice, um, actions in the event of improper private work. Again, to be consistent with current practice. Um, same with violations we're clarifying, there's a provision there that talks about police details and says they're usually the responsibility of the private proponent, but really they're always the responsibility of the, the, um, project proponent proponent for private work. Um, on all of the DP W's other fees, we had moved everything to a schedule of fees that's maintained by the DPW so that each time we want to raise the fee, let's say it costs us $3 to dispose of a car tire, and then our price

▶ 58:49 to dispose of it goes up to $4. We now can raise those fees, um, from all of our other, other ordinance sections, the solid waste and recycling the water, sewer and drains. We have those all in a schedule of fees that no longer sits in the ordinance, but we had missed doing that with the streets and sidewalks schedule of fees. And actually Council Williams had brought it to our attention, um, earlier this year with reference to block parties when we tried to change the fee and realized that it required an ordinance change. Um, so we've tried to be consistent with our other schedule schedules of fees and just reference that instead. Um, and then updated language for some reason, the, the, um,

▶ 59:28 Kimberly Vandiver: I believe the council had authority about curbing requirements, which was sort of an oddball thing in the ordinance because pretty much everything else was city engineer. So we updated that to city engineer. Great. Thanks so much. Any counselors have questions? Councillor ver Thank you. I have two questions. Um, the first one's probably easy, but just re relevant to the related to the city engineer. I know that position is vacant. There, there are some references to or designee. I wonder if we also need an or acting city engineer. Do we have an acting city engineer? You are the, I, I see. Yes. Okay. You're act also acting as that role. Okay. So that would be covered under the language. Yeah, I think, or designee really covers it anyway,

▶ 1:00:09 Kimberly Vandiver: but yeah, I would, I would consider it the acting city engineer is filling the role of the city engineer, just not in a permanent capacity. Wonderful. Thank you. And then the, the slightly um, more involved question I had was, um, so on the third page of this document that's attached here in three A about streets and sidewalks, red line, um, near the bottom of the page, um, 2 0 2 dash three riding or driving on sidewalk. Um, so the, what I was looking at this and wondering about was, um, how this would apply to any, um, scooters and how it would apply to any, um, e-bikes that are pushed by hand. Um, I in particular, um, we have in this red line no motorized vehicles of any kind or permitted density sidewalks.

▶ 1:00:54 Kimberly Vandiver: I wonder if that should be no motorized vehicles of any kind are permitted to be driven on city sidewalks. Could I push one of these items and then park it at a, um, at a bike parking ramp, you know, in front of a restaurant or something like that? Is that Okay. To bring it onto the sidewalk at all. Um, Yeah, no, that's a good point. If you're, you know, locking up a motorized scooter to one of our lollipop bike racks on the sidewalk, you will have to bring it up onto the sidewalk that, um, the intent is that, um, no motorized vehicles of any kind are permitted, I suppose, to be driven on city sidewalks. Is that the wording? Yeah, exactly. Suggested, Yeah, I, I have no problem with that amendment.

▶ 1:01:36 Kimberly Vandiver: So, um, I would propose that amendment in that section 2 0 2 3, um, just adding the words to be driven so that they're permitted to be there, but not permitted to be driven on the sidewalk To be driven dur inserted in which, uh, part of that, uh, Uh, in the red line section, uh, the final sentence of 2 0 2 dash three. So the last sentence would read, aside from those required for mobility, no motorized vehicles of any kind are permitted to be driven on city sidewalks. Alright, so Motion Bay by Councillor Vandiver to insert to be driven, um, in that sentence. Second. Second. Councillor gpe. Second on discussion. All those in favor? Aye. Aye. All is opposed. Let the ayes have it. The amendment is approved.

▶ 1:02:24 Ryan Williams: Any other counselors have questions? Councillor Uh, Williams. Thank You. Um, so sorry, I gotta get my notes. The eBike thing was a good catch. Um, I'm wondering how in this section we enforce the inappropriate use of motorized vehicles on sidewalks. There's nothing in the ordinance itself that says, what do you do if somebody, you know, rides their motorcycle down the sidewalk? Um, I know that there are fines for operating motor vehicles and parking motor vehicles on sidewalks. Do you think that it is, um, necessary to reference those fines in this section, or would it be helpful to reference the fines in the section? So in 2 0 2 dash 3.1, under use of gas power vehicles, scooters, power boards,

▶ 1:03:15 Ryan Williams: and many motorbikes, it does say penalties. Any person in violation, any person violating the provisions of the section shall be subject to a fine of $50 enforcement. The Melrose Police Department shall have the authority to enforce this section. The provisions of MGL Chapter 40, section 20 1D may be used to enforce this section. I don't know the MGL reference, but I would think that's, that covers what you're referring to. Yeah, it's actually, it's interesting to me. So the penalty in 2 0 2 3 for putting a motorized vehicle on a sidewalk is twice the fine, I think for the police find ticketing somebody for parking on a sidewalk. And I don't expect the committee to hash that out here, but I, I just thought of something to, to point out

▶ 1:04:06 Ryan Williams: that in my review of the Streets and sidewalks ordinances in the city, we have kind of a lot of competing, you know, where DPW and the police kind of overlap in some of these ordinances. And I'm not a voting member of the committee, so I can't propose any kind of, um, any kind of amendment. But I do think it's important to enforce the, um, enforce not having motorized vehicles parked or operated on sidewalks. Um, so with that being said, I, I had, um, an interesting question about the schedule of a fee. So you brought up, you brought up the, the story that Yes, the resident reached out to me, surprised that the black parties had been, um, made to have a hundred dollars fee. Asked me, I looked at the code, I saw

▶ 1:04:51 Ryan Williams: that they were in the code as free. Um, and now we're proposing getting rid of the fine section in the code, and I think in some cases that makes a lot of sense. I don't know why the engineering department is issuing block party permits. It's not really the engineering division, it's actually the, it's more, um, through the DPW itself. Yeah, the forms are available at engineering. Yeah. But they get processed through, uh, our admin, our DPW admin division. So, um, once they come into either engineering or our main office, they go to one of our, um, actually one of our account clerks mm-hmm. Who handles the applications, um, make sure that the police chief, the fire chief and I have all, or me

▶ 1:05:39 or Jim Troop have signed off on the application, made sure that that the location is appropriate, the times are appropriate. We have had ones we've had to deny. Sure. Um, and then passes that along. She then manages our, um, uh, operations staff delivering the equipment to the block parties on Friday before usually their weekends. So typically on Friday afternoon, our operations staff, our highway division, we'll drop off barricades at all the houses where that are using them, and then on Monday morning, pick them all back up. Yeah. So I guess the thing that I find interesting about the block party permit is that it is the only thing that is explicitly listed as having no charge. And I read that as being language

▶ 1:06:27 Ryan Williams: that's intentional in the ordinance to not have a charge for the block party. Um, and, you know, if we take that item f out of the ordinance, then you could make it a hundred dollars or $200 or $300, whereas some communities actually will give residents money to have a block party because they recognize the social benefits of having, you know, occasional use of the street for, um, for that kind of social gathering. So I'm, I'm, I'm hoping that, um, you know, it would be nice if that could stay free for no charge. Uh, I understand that we're raising fees in some regard. Um, you know, $5 here, $10 there on people raising block party from $0 to a hundred dollars feels a bit strange to me, especially since it's something we should wanna

▶ 1:07:17 encourage people to do. Um, so I, you know, if I were on the committee, I wouldn't support it. Um, and I think we should look for ways to keep that free by putting it into other ordinance language somewhere else. I will say there is a substantial cost to the city for the, the time and the materials that we use. Um, for instance, porch Fest is a great example. We have to cut people off at a certain point with Porch Fest because we only have a limited number of barriers and barrels and we can't, um, we can't meet the demand, but we end up spending, you know, the better part of a day delivering materials and the better part of a day, um, taking materials back. And I know in the city's current financial situation, um,

▶ 1:08:03 where we're short staffed, you know, it's not necessarily, I personally don't think it's necessarily the best use of city resources if the residents who are benefiting aren't paying, at least for the time that's being spent to deliver the materials to them and pick it up. So why couldn't residents pick the materials up themselves if they were approved for the permit from the city Yard? They could, but we usually are giving the, um, the plastic barriers that are the long Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Hole with the two sort of sawhorse ends, um, when that's what we're delivering. It's a little unruly to throw in your car, but I mean, there are plenty of people who drive SUVs and pick up trucks who could for sure.

▶ 1:08:40 Mark Garipay: Who could take them. That is a possibility. Um, we, because we don't set them up right. We bring them before the event, the residents do set them up themselves, so Right, right. Maybe there could be a, you know, a, a sliding fee structure where okay, if you come and get it, it doesn't cost as much or Okay. Yeah. Well, I appreciate your thought on that. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. That's all. Councilor Ger pay. Just a quick thing on the block parties, um, I, We, we drop off barricades. Um, do we usually get everything back or I guess most of it, guess at the end of the end of the season, I'm wondering is, is it a financial cost that we have to replace things that was never, never returned? I guess

▶ 1:09:22 There's, there's a little bit of that more with, if we're dropping off cones or smaller things, cones disappear. Mm-hmm. Um, the barricades themselves, I don't know of any instance where a whole barricade has been gone that we dropped off, but, um, and same with barrels. I don't know of instances where those have disappeared, but it is certainly a concern. Um, like when we used to do the Slow Streets initiative or some of the pilot work that we've done, those cones, you know, half of them are gone by the time we go to pick them up Again. Um, to Council Williams' point, I think block parties are, are great for the community. I think they build strong neighborhoods. Um, I understand our financial situation.

▶ 1:10:01 Kimberly Vandiver: I would just encourage if things change and we're in a different position next year that we look at maybe reducing, reducing that down back to zero. But, uh, I think, uh, I think it's builds, builds good, uh, good, good strong neighborhoods when you have block party and people out, so. Great. Thank you. Yeah, I agree. Thank you. Any other questions? Councilor Vanderberg And just briefly echoing that, I also think block parties are, are really a great thing for the community. I think it would, if it doesn't add too much overhead, would be nice to have those options in place for people to pick up or to pay for drop off. Um, and I also wanted to mention, since we're kind of digging into a couple of changes here,

▶ 1:10:41 but overall, I just wanna say I really appreciate the amount of detail to go through and review this line by line and make these updates and adjustments. So thank you. Thanks. What is the role of the committee? Motion to recommend Second. Motion to recommend by Council Repay, seconded by President mre, What I believe recommend as amended Motion to Recommend Motion to Recommend as amended. Yes. We're on that conversation for a while, so I forgot. Motion to recommend as amended. Thank you very much. Um, on discussion. Madam Clerk, could you please call the role Vice chair remodel? Yes. Council oppe? Yes. Council Vandiver? Yes. Present Elli? Yes. Motion passes. Thank you very much, um, given the time, uh,

▶ 1:11:26 Leila Migliorelli: I'll entertain a motion to, uh, recess. So moved. Uh, motion made by President mre second recess or adjourned? Uh, we still have one more. One more order. Second by Councilor Gareg. Sorry. All those in favor of recess? Aye. Aye. All those opposed? Alright, we're now in recess for full counsel. Got two people out there. Are they chitchatting or Rob? I don't have, They Can chat later. I have one thing on my desk. It's about five minutes. Okay. Good evening. The time is 7:59 PM on Monday, August 18th, 2025. This meeting of the Melrose City Council is called to order. And President Elli in accordance with Massachusetts Open Meeting Law. This meeting is being broadcast and recorded by Melrose Cable Access tv

▶ 1:14:08 To yeah, To recess. To recess. Yes. Question. You got it. Who was it? Who? Councilor Romanul. Who said the motion? No, I said yeah, I said one. Okay. Okay, Williams. Alright, we are now, um, Recessed. Alright, welcome back to the third and final installment of the Legal and Legislative Committee meeting. Our final item tonight, ID number 1 2 7 4 4 amending chapter 2 28 of the revised ordinances of the City of Melrose Water, sewer, and Drains. Thank you. Um, so this is the third and final of our ordinance amendments. Um, that was similarly run through the bullet points. So this clarifies the ownership of fire services to private properties clarifies the ownership of domestic water services to private properties

▶ 1:15:14 that are over two inches in diameter. In both cases, we traditionally have assumed or not assumed, but consider those to be owned by the private property owner. So if there's a problem with the fire service in the portion that's under the street, the city doesn't want to own that. It's usually six inch ductile iron pipe. It's expensive to replace. Um, but the ordinance never clarified that. So we're clarifying those, um, clarifying requirements pertaining to domestic water services to multiple buildings on the same property or multiple services to a single building. Um, that actually comes into play with the A DU discussion as well. We've been asked some questions recently, um, and felt that we needed that clarified.

▶ 1:15:55 Uh, removing some language about sewer material materials that are conflicting with the state's plumbing code. Uh, updating references in the stormwater section to the stormwater design and construction standards rather than rules and regulations because that's just not what we ended up calling our document. Um, clarifying the applicability of our stormwater permitting program. Updating language and regulatory references for consistency with the city's stormwater nty permit and clarifying ownership of private stormwater infrastructure, which is usually installed during major redevelopment projects as part of the engineering division's conditions for the planning board decisions, um, clarifying

▶ 1:16:34 Devin Romanul: that those are then owned and maintained by the private property owner. Great. Thank you so much. Mm-hmm. Do any counselors have questions? Seeing none. What is the will of the committee? Motion to recommend? Motion to recommend made by Councilor Vandiver. Second. Second by President Melli on discussion. Madam Clerk, would you please call the role Vice Chair Romanul? Yes. Councilor Repe? Yes. Council Vandiver? Yes. Present mere? Yes. Motion passes. Motion passes. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Thank you. Appreciate your time. Um, that being our last agenda item. If there's no objection, we'll now adjourn the meeting. Hearing no objection. The meeting is now adjourned. Thank you so much.
