2026-01-12 - City Council Regular Meeting

Summary

Built from the document posted as the January 12, 2026 minutes. It is thin: it holds only the attendance roll and a copy of the inaugural meeting minutes, so the business of this meeting is not in the record we have. This is an older meeting, from January 2026; the portal lists no council meetings after April 6, 2026.

  • Monday, January 12, 2026, 5:30 PM, Sullivan Chamber. Presiding officer: Mayor Siddiqui.
  • Attendance: all nine members present. Simmons arrived 5:31 PM, McGovern arrived 5:34 PM, and Sobrinho-Wheeler attended remotely; Al-Zubi, Azeem, Flaherty, Nolan and Zusy were present at call to order.
  • The rest of the posted document is the text of the January 5 inaugural minutes (stamped as adopted February 9, 2026, 9-0, by Interim City Clerk Paula Crane). No motions, votes, public comment or agenda items for January 12 appear.
  • What was expected that evening: at the December 22 meeting the Council said it would still have two January regular meetings (January 12 and January 26) before the Cambridge Street Rezoning petition expired at the end of January, and the two policy orders held over by charter right (Parking Permit Limits Near New Development and a companion order) were to come up at the first regular meeting. How they were handled is not recorded here.
