2026-11-09 - City Council

Summary

Upcoming meeting. Built from the posted agenda packet only (a PDF dated November 5); item numbers come from machine-read text and may contain errors. Ward and vote results are not yet known.

  • Public hearing on C0213-26: an order to amend the Administrative Code, replacing the Youth Commission with a Recreation and Youth Commission. The Mayor's October 7 letter says the current commission was never validly accepted under M.G.L. c.40 section 8E. See Recreation and Youth Commission.
  • Unfinished business includes C0122-26, a zoning ordinance regulating data centers (Data Center Zoning Ordinance), and C0221-26, an ordinance removing the Youth Commission from Chapter 2 of the Revised Ordinances.

  • New business: C0239-26 asks for a presentation on the proposed Winter Parking Ban Pilot Program and 2027 resident stickers (Winter Parking Ban Pilot Program). The packet mentions a "snow emergency" only as part of that parking policy; it is not an emergency declaration.
