0:51Agenda item number two. Now is the time

0:52for the public hearing on the

0:53application for a special permit from

0:55attorney Brian Faulk on behalf of MRG

0:57Real Estate Ventures LLC American Thrift

0:59Stores to use the property as a

1:00transportational terminal and freight

1:02depot for the collection and

1:03distribution of donated clothing and

1:05household goods. The site would consist

1:06of parking for employees personal

1:08vehicles during business hours and

1:09overnight parking for company box trucks

1:11and parking for 50oot trailers to

1:13collect goods until shipped out. The

1:15site will have a parking area but no

1:17building at 38 Airport Boulevard, lot 3,

1:19order number 26-1009829.

1:23Okay. This public hearing will be taken

1:25up in four stages. First with the public

1:26speaking in favor, second questions from

1:29the public. Third, public speaking in

1:31opposition and then fourth questions

1:33from the city council. So I'll open the

1:35first part of the public hearing with

1:36the public speaking in favor. Starting

1:38with the applicant, please state your

1:39name and address for the record.

1:41>> Thank you, President Oing. Counselors.

1:43For the record, I'm attorney Brian Faulk

1:45from Mrick 100 Front Street in

1:46Worcester. Here on behalf of the

1:48applicant, MRG Real Estate Ventures LLC,

1:51which is an affiliate of American Thrift

1:53Stores. Um, as was mentioned, we're

1:55seeking a special permit for the

1:57collection and distribution of donated

1:59clothing and household goods.

2:02Use would be located on lot three in the

2:04airport industrial park. That's the

2:06third lot in um on the north side of the

2:08road. The address is 38 Airport

2:10Boulevard. And what you see here is a

2:13lot layout of the industrial park. Park

2:15is located in the city's limited

2:17industrial zoning district. Many of the

2:19commercial uses in that zoning district

2:21require special permits from the

2:23council. And we've been in here a few

2:24times over the years. Council has

2:26approved special permits for several

2:28contractor and landscaping yards uh

2:31which serve as a base for construction

2:32and landscaping trucks, equipment and

2:35materials, and employee parking. Um this

2:37proposed use would be very similar in

2:39character. Um, and it also requires a

2:41special permit under the transportation

2:44and freight depot use category.

2:47So, MRG plans to build out this lot with

2:50a parking area, landscaping, and storm

2:52water infrastructure. Um, as was

2:55mentioned in the hearing notice, there

2:56would be no building on the lot. MRG

2:59handles donation, collection, and

3:01distribution for American Thrift Stores.

3:03Um, that's a retailer that's based

3:05primarily in Florida, very similar to

3:07Savers. Uh MRG works with charities to

3:10collect donated clothing and household

3:12goods. Company currently works with the

3:14charity living beyond breast cancer. The

3:17collections are all by appointment um

3:19primarily from individual households.

3:21About 95% of their collection runs are

3:24to individual households. Um and they do

3:27work with some a smaller number of

3:29community organizations, but it's

3:31primarily by appointment household runs

3:34to pick up donated items. working with

3:36this charity. Essential essentially

3:38drivers go out in small box trucks on a

3:40daily route, visit the locations that

3:42have made appointments for pre-arranged

3:44donations and pickups. Uh the donor gets

3:47a charitable receipt, the charity gets

3:49proceeds from MRG and the items are then

3:51sold at American Thrift Store locations.

3:54Um the site here in Malbor would host

3:57daytime parking for drivers personal

3:59vehicles and then off hours it would be

4:01parking for the box trucks that are used

4:03for um donation pickups and then some

4:06trailers that will hold the collection

4:08items until they're moved off site. Um,

4:11and the trailers be roughly once a week

4:13that they get moved off site once

4:14they're filled up with donated items,

4:16taken off to um, either another

4:18distribution facility or to uh, American

4:21thrift stores, retailers uh, directly.

4:24Um, the lot will be surrounded with a

4:27white vinyl fence on three sides and

4:29then the front will be a chain link with

4:30a gating system for security. Um, the

4:34parking you see here um, has been

4:36modified from the version that we

4:37submitted. Um we changed the um the

4:40striping to show where the box trucks

4:42would be parked and where the trailers

4:44would go. It previously the version that

4:46was submitted just showed a typical

4:47parking um facility uh in in Malro with

4:52with um striping for cars. So after

4:54meeting with site plan review committee

4:56was suggested let's show the striping

4:58plan as it's actually going to be laid

4:59out and this is what it would be. Um

5:02there will be no self self-s served

5:05donation bins at the site. This is not a

5:07place for people to come and drop things

5:09off. There won't be bins there. American

5:11Thrift Stores doesn't have bins in

5:13Massachusetts. Everything's by

5:14appointment only. Pick up with these

5:16trucks and then storage in the trailers.

5:19In terms of process, I mentioned we met

5:21informally with the site plan review

5:22committee last month. Got some comments

5:24and suggestions from them. Um if a

5:27special permit's granted, we go back for

5:29formal site plan review um to amend the

5:32existing site plan for the overall uh

5:34airport industrial park. That concludes

5:36the formal presentation. Happy to take

5:38your questions and thank you for your

5:39time.

5:40>> Thank you, Attorney Faulk. Any other

5:42members of the public speaking in favor?

5:45Any other members of the public speak in

5:47favor? Any other members of the public

5:49speaking in favor? Hearing none, I close

5:52that portion of the public hearing.

5:54Questions from the public?

5:57Any members of the public have any

5:58questions?

6:00Please come up to the microphone and

6:02please state your name and address for

6:03the record, please.

6:05Hi, my name is Chris Russ. I live at 580

6:07Farm Road. Um, so we're not direct to

6:09Butters, but we're fairly close. Um, got

6:13a couple questions and a couple maybe

6:16concerns. Um, so I might go into the um

6:20unfavorable side, but question number

6:23one, is the site currently being used

6:26for

6:28this business practice? It

6:30>> it is not. No, it hasn't been hasn't

6:32been acquired by um the applicant yet.

6:36>> So, the two trailer trucks and two box

6:38trucks on the property are not part of

6:41this business.

6:42>> If they're parked there, they're not

6:43they're not doing collections or they're

6:44not supposed to be.

6:45>> Okay. Um

6:48I do have pictures of them from today

6:50that I can I'm not sure who to send them

6:52to, but um

6:54>> if if I could get if you can send them

6:56to the city council, get them to code

6:58enforcement to take a look to see what

6:59they are. Sure, Chris. Sure. Thank you.

7:01>> Um

7:03I'm glad to see that you've straped it

7:05the way it was looking because one of my

7:07comments was going to ask of how was

7:10this not a parking lot use and which

7:12isn't allowed in this business district

7:14but or limited industrial. So that's a

7:18bonus.

7:20Um [clears throat] going to my concern

7:22side is

7:24Farm Road is a designated 2 and a half

7:27ton limit for uh heavy vehicles

7:31and there's already a lot of that

7:34traffic on the road. Um more on the

7:38lighter side, but trailer trucks are a

7:41bit of a concern. Um, if this were to go

7:45forward, I would recommend or suggest

7:47that all truck traffic is sent directly

7:51to Route 20. Um, obviously if they're

7:54doing pickups in the neighborhoods, the

7:57smaller vehicles can head that way, but

7:59um,

8:01that would be one of the bigger things

8:03for me to make sure goes through.

8:08And then as far as engine idling goes,

8:10is that

8:12something that would happen here?

8:15>> I'm sorry, could you repeat the

8:16question? I didn't hear the

8:17>> uh engine idling when when trucks

8:19sitting warming for hours on end.

8:22>> Uh it wouldn't be for hours on end. I

8:24mean, they probably get turned on in the

8:25colder months for a couple minutes while

8:27drivers are getting ready to go out. Um

8:29but the the intent is not to sit there

8:31with trucks idling. They're they're

8:33there with appointments to go out, do

8:35the pickups, come back and and drop off

8:37and done for the day.

8:39>> And then in in your proposal, you

8:44mentioned there's three trailer trucks

8:45and eight box trucks. Is that something

8:49that's going to be limited to that or is

8:50there a growth that may expand beyond

8:53that?

8:54>> That that's what we anticipate. The max

8:56capacity would be eight box trucks and

8:58three trailers at the most. At the start

9:00talking to the applicant, they're

9:02thinking maybe three box trucks and one

9:04trailer. And then as things go, as they

9:06get developed here, it may increase to

9:08three trailers, eight trucks maximum.

9:11>> Okay. Um, good. Those are my questions.

9:17>> Thanks, Chris. Any other members of the

9:19public have questions?

9:22Any other questions from the public? Any

9:25questions from the public? Hearing none,

9:27I close that portion of the public

9:28hearing. Public speaking in opposition.

9:32Any members of the public speak in

9:33opposition.

9:35Any members of the public speak in

9:36opposition?

9:38Hearing none, I close that portion of

9:40the public hearing. Questions from the

9:42city councilors. Councelor Ducet.

9:44>> Thank you very much, Mr. President. Uh,

9:46just got a couple of questions for

9:47clarification purposes. Um,

9:50when is [clears throat] is there going

9:52to be any posted times on the because

9:55there's a fence in front, right? And

9:57when the business is closed, the fence

9:59is closed.

10:00>> Yes.

10:01>> Okay. Is there p published hours or

10:03something on the fence or is it just

10:05like quiet? You know what's there and

10:07that's it.

10:08>> Yeah. I don't think there's there's an

10:10expectation that we would have a sign

10:12with ours because this is not a place

10:14for the public to come and go. This is

10:16just employees coming and going with

10:17their own personal vehicles at the

10:19beginning and end of the day and the

10:20trucks coming and going on the routs. So

10:23we we wouldn't want folks coming there

10:25because it's not a spot for donations.

10:27>> Okay. Is there company signage?

10:29>> Uh there likely would be. Yes.

10:31>> Okay. Oh, but there you don't take

10:32donations on the spot. That's

10:34>> that's correct.

10:35>> Okay. Okay. Um also any street lights or

10:39not?

10:40>> Uh there will be lighting. Um, we do the

10:42phototric plan with site plan review as

10:45part of formal site plan review. So

10:46there would be lighting.

10:47>> Okay. Downward facing all that stuff.

10:49>> Yeah.

10:49>> Okay. Great. That's all. Thank you.

10:51>> Thank you, Council Ducet. Council Orum.

10:55>> Thank you, Mr. President. Um, question

10:58on the process for the employees. They

11:02they come and they pick up the trucks

11:04basically. Will there be a need for

11:06restrooms or a porter toilet?

11:09Um it's not intended for the site. No.

11:12Um like other drivers um in that

11:15industry, you know, they would they

11:17would not be using the site uh for the

11:19necessaries. It would be offsite.

11:22>> And so back to the question on restroom.

11:25So they're expected to drive in and get

11:28a truck and get out of there as fast as

11:30they get there or are they going to be

11:31waiting around for a while? Um my

11:34understanding is um the donations are

11:36all done pretty much arranged online. So

11:38they're going to have a device that

11:40tells them what your route is for the

11:41day. They show up, get their truck, do

11:43the route, come back, unload, and then

11:45leave.

11:46>> Okay. And it was mentioned already,

11:48anti- idling. It's 5 minutes, no more

11:50than 5 minutes. Um especially with the

11:52price of fuel, I would expect the

11:54company doesn't want them to idle more

11:56than 5 minutes. But with that said, I

11:58would just hope we don't have to go

12:01there in an enforcement side of it that

12:03hopefully the business will come in,

12:06chat with their operations with the city

12:08officials [clears throat]

12:09and if needed, I don't see a problem

12:11with a porter toilet, but we'll see

12:13where that goes. Thank you, Mr.

12:15President.

12:16>> Thank you, Council Orum. Council Piato,

12:18you all set?

12:19>> Yeah, thank [clears throat] you, Mr.

12:20President. Um, I have a few questions.

12:23Is there going to be an on-site dumpster

12:24for this area?

12:26>> Uh, no. Oh, there's not a plan for

12:27dumpster.

12:28>> Okay. Um, how busy do are they expecting

12:30to be like the first few I guess months

12:33or year?

12:34>> Yeah. I mean, this would be their first

12:35location in New England. Um, as far

12:37north, the f furthest north they

12:39currently are, I believe, is in

12:41Philadelphia area. Um, so they got to

12:43build up their network. Um, the

12:44expectation at the beginning is they'd

12:46have three box trucks and one trailer,

12:48and they might go up to as many as three

12:50trailers and eight box trucks. That's

12:52the that's the expectation.

12:53>> Okay. So, they do quite a bit of of I

12:55guess business, you would say. in other

12:56locations that they're established.

12:58>> Yeah, it's my understanding. Um they,

13:00you know, they're on regular routes with

13:02folks who, you know, get do donation for

13:05charity and you sign up for them to come

13:07and pick it up and the the charity gets

13:09a cut of it based on the um number of

13:11truckloads they take essentially.

13:13>> Gotcha. So, um during business hours,

13:16like I said, there's there isn't going

13:18to be anybody in this lot or will there

13:19be somebody like there tending to the

13:22trailer, per se? because I've I've been

13:24to donation sites before and there's

13:25always usually someone at like the main

13:27trailer that like either is loading or

13:30unloading um or you know just watching

13:32an open trailer.

13:33>> Yeah, I don't believe there'll be

13:34anybody on site during the day. Um it'll

13:36be the drivers doing the unloading when

13:38they get back.

13:38>> Okay. Um so they they're planning on on

13:41establishing themselves here for a

13:43pretty long time, I would assume. Then

13:45>> um but yes, um they're they're buying

13:48this. This isn't a tenant situation. All

13:50the lots in the industrial park are

13:52industrial condominiums. So, they're

13:53buying this site um to have this as

13:55their base of operations.

13:57>> Gotcha. Um in regards to the perimeter

14:01fencing, um do any of the other

14:03locations there have any sort of fencing

14:06like that or is this going to be the

14:08only location pretty much?

14:09>> Um many of them do. Um all of the

14:11contractor and landscaper yards have to

14:14have fencing um under that section of

14:16the zoning ordinance. there's um fairly

14:18strict rules in terms of visibility of

14:21materials and trucks. Um so this vinyl

14:23fence will will match the others in the

14:25area. So there are immediate neighbors.

14:28I'm I don't recall whether there are

14:29fences there. Um but that's the idea is

14:31that each one of these as they get

14:32developed will have, you know,

14:33comparable fencing.

14:34>> Okay. I'm I'm There's no houses behind

14:38that that green area, right? There's

14:39that's just there's like a a field for a

14:41bit or something. The

14:43>> there are some residential areas behind

14:45there. not directly uh behind this and

14:48there is a wooded area there but there

14:49are some residents there um in that

14:51area.

14:52>> Okay, that's all. Thank you.

14:54>> Thank you, Council Presiato. Council

14:56Irish.

14:56>> Thank you, Mr. President. Good evening,

14:58Attorney Faulk. A quick question um for

15:01employment for for the uh American

15:03thrift stores. Is it a requirement to be

15:05Corey checked for those employees?

15:07>> Uh I don't know the answer to that. I

15:08can look into it.

15:09>> That's something I would I would

15:10question um if this does go to Urban if

15:13that is something that their employer

15:15does. Thank you. Thank you, Mr.

15:16President.

15:17>> Thank you, Councelor Irish. Councelor

15:18Villo,

15:19>> thank you, Mr. President. Thank you,

15:21Attorney Faul. Just one quick question.

15:23I know it's been touched on, but I don't

15:24think I heard the exact. Do we have

15:26preliminary business hours right now? I

15:27assume it's similar to kind of a

15:28contractor you are like pick drivers

15:30arrive in the morning, go out, do their

15:32shifts, come back at night, right?

15:34Trucks stay overnight, but um

15:35>> yeah, the plan is roughly 7 to 3. Um so,

15:38folks come in the morning around 7, get

15:40their route for the day, get their

15:41truck, and they'll be back around 3.

15:43>> Wonderful. Thank you. Thank you, Mr.

15:45President.

15:45>> Thank you, Council Fill.

15:47>> Councelor Presiano,

15:48>> sorry, just a follow-up to that. Is that

15:49um Monday through Friday or is it going

15:51to be Monday through Sunday kind of deal

15:53or?

15:53>> Um, it would be Monday through Friday.

15:55>> Okay, that's all. Thank you.

15:56>> Thank you, Council Presiato. Anyone

15:59else? Any other comments for the

16:00counselors?

16:02Comments from the counselors?

16:05You're good. Council Ruby.

16:09>> Thank you, Mr. President. Um, so my

16:11understanding at site plan the uh issue

16:14of farm road being a truck restriction

16:16was brought up. It was brought up again

16:18tonight. Even if somebody goes to Route

16:2220, they're on Farm Road where trucks

16:24are not allowed. So, will these trucks

16:27be under the uh 2 1/2 ton or is that

16:31going to be an issue where the special

16:33permit would now be putting trucks on a

16:36road that trucks are not allowed to be

16:38on

16:39>> the So, through the president, the box

16:42trucks would likely be under that weight

16:43limit. Um the trailers would not be. Um

16:46but that vehicle restriction has

16:48exceptions for roadways that are

16:50otherwise inaccessible other than

16:52through Farm Road. and that pertains to

16:55a number of businesses both in the

16:57industrial park and along Farm Road.

17:00>> Okay. So, us approving a special permit

17:05would then mean that we are saying it's

17:07okay to have more trucks on a road that

17:09the residents are complaining has too

17:12much truck traffic.

17:14Thank you.

17:16>> Any other questions from the councils?

17:17Council Ducat.

17:20>> Thank you very much, Madam uh Mr.

17:22President. Um I think that uh uh council

17:26councelor Oram brought this up

17:28effectively is that we need to make sure

17:30that the traffic actually heads north to

17:3220 and does not go down farm road

17:36because completely that section is fine

17:38going to the airport. You know it's

17:40somewhat industrial to begin with but

17:42beyond that you know we got to make sure

17:44the signs go to route 20.

17:46>> So thank you.

17:48>> Thank you councelor Ducet. Any other

17:50questions from the counselors?

17:53Questions from the counselors.

17:55Questions from the counselors. Hearing

17:57none, I close that portion of the public

17:58hearing and the entire public hearing

18:00and this is in urban affairs. Thank you,

18:03Attorney.

18:03>> Very much.

18:07[clears throat]

18:14>> All set.

18:16Item three,

18:17>> communication from W one, councelor Mark

18:19Vital, regarding proposed amendment to

24:01there are nine ballot questions for this

24:04to please study the little red Bible

24:07that was sent to them.

24:09>> Councilor Rob, we have an example of

24:10that red Bible.

24:11>> Thank you, Mr. President. I was going to

24:13rise to kind of state the same thing.

24:15There are nine ballot questions. Um, the

24:18little red Bible has uh 70 80. Well, if

24:24you count the stuff in the back, but

24:26there's a synopsis on the agenda, item

24:29number seven, that's been provided, I

24:32assume, by the clerk. So, if somebody

24:33doesn't want to look through or never

24:35received their red book, there is some

24:37information. But I would urge everyone

24:39voting, whether it's in person, by mail,

24:44to please look at this red book before

24:46you go and take your cheat sheet so that

24:49you know how you're going to vote on

24:50those nine ballot questions. because if

24:52you wait till you get there and you have

24:53no idea, you're not going to get it done

24:56in the 15 minutes that you are being

24:59allotted to vote for this time. Um,

25:02thank you.

25:30are filed and the vote is 10. Reports of

25:33committees.

25:35Councelor Roby.

25:37>> Thank you, Mr. President. So, the city

25:39council urban affairs and housing

25:41committee met on September 29th. We had

25:44two items on our agenda. The first one

25:46was order number 261009820,

25:50an application for a special permit from

25:52attorney Brian Faulk on behalf of 36

25:54Jefferson Street LLC to construct four

25:56townhouse units and a fourc car garage

25:59at the site's existing single family

26:01house to include a total of 18 spaces at

26:0436 Jefferson Street. I think the members

26:07of urban affairs were happy to see this

26:11submission after the prior one that came

26:14before us. Um, Attorney Faulk had taken

26:17into consideration comments from the

26:19department heads that we all received

26:21and had given us a revised draft um that

26:26had the suggested edits from site plan

26:30review.

26:31So, the chair began reading through the

26:33amended draft decision. There was

26:35consensus to the amendment in condition

26:37two to add information about the height

26:40requirements of the zoning ordinance,

26:42fire access for a ground ladder behind

26:44the buildings, confirmation of fire

26:46suppression, sprinklers throughout the

26:48dwelling units, including the existing

26:50building drainage improvements and

26:52landscaping. And there was consensus to

26:54the amendment in condition seven to add

26:56after the first sentence that the area

26:59between the existing sightes fence and

27:01the edge of the trail pavement shall be

27:03considered for additional trailside

27:04landscaping including areas on city

27:07property. There was consensus to amend

27:09condition 8 to strike pedestrian in the

27:12title and to substitute the word

27:14resident.

27:16And there was consensus to add in a new

27:18condition that would be fine-tuned by

27:22the solicitor suggesting language that

27:24the dumpster needed to be on a concrete

27:26pad, covered, screened, and kept cleaned

27:28with no trash pickup before 7 a.m. or

27:31after 700 p.m. Council Ducet moved to

27:34recommend approval of the draft decision

27:36as amended.

27:38The motion was seconded and the vote

27:39carried 5 to zero. So I am going to be

27:42asking for a suspension so that this can

27:45be referred to the solicitor and put in

27:47proper form.

27:48>> Then request for suspension of the

27:50rules. All those in favor of suspension

27:52opposed. Suspension carries. 10. Council

27:55Roby.

27:55>> Move to refer this to the solicitor to

27:58be put in proper form for our next

28:00agenda, our next council meeting.

28:03>> Motion made and seconded to refer this

28:04item as amended to the solicitor to put

28:07in proper form for the council to vote

28:08on at our next city council meeting. Any

28:11discussion on the motion? Seeing none,

28:13all those in favor? Opposed? Motion

28:15carries. This is going to the solicitor

28:17be put in proper format for our vote at

28:19the next meeting. And the vote is 100.

28:22Council Roby.

28:23>> And the second item was order number

28:2426100 9819. The application from for a

28:28special permit from attorney Christopher

28:31Flood on behalf of Boston Bruins LLC to

28:33construct, own, and operate a

28:35drive-through only coffee shop in an

28:37existing building at 2 Mount Royal

28:39Avenue. I'm not going to bother reading

28:40this. Um, it was kept in committee, but

28:43I wrote this up for the benefit of the

28:45solicitor as he and the attorney flood

28:48are working on a new draft taking into

28:51consideration um what we discussed and

28:55figuring out language specifically for

28:57the queueing which we couldn't really

28:59come up with on our own. So, this is in

29:01committee and we are meeting again on

29:03October 15th to finish it up hopefully.

29:07Thank you, councelor Roby. Any other

29:10reports of committees?

29:13Seeing none, agenda item number nine,

29:15order number 26-1009828

29:18draft intermunicipal agreement with the

29:19town of Hullbrook for the purpose of

29:20regionalizing our dispatch dispatch

29:23operations with a proposed

29:24implementation date of July 2028. In

29:27addition, a proposed ordinance amendment

29:29to chapter 133 police department section

29:329F. Recommendation of the finance

29:33committee is to approve. Council Irish.

29:36>> Thank you, Mr. President. Move the

29:37recommendation of committee to approve

29:39authorizing the mayor to enter into an

29:41intermunicipal agreement for the fire

29:44and police dispatch services uh between

29:47the city of Malbor and the town of

29:48Hullbrook. Please.

29:49>> Motion's made in second to authorize the

29:51mayor to enter into the intermunicipal

29:53agreement between Malbor and Hullbrook

29:55for fire and police regional

29:57regionalization dispatch services. Any

29:59discussion on the motion? Councelor.

30:04>> Thank you, Mr. President, I was the one

30:06counselor that needed more information

30:08and I did vote. I should have voted

30:10present. I think that would have been

30:11the appropriate vote, but in

30:13subcommittee I opposed it at that point

30:15so I could gather more information and I

30:18did. I spoke to the leadership both at

30:20the police department as well as the

30:22fire department as well as other people

30:25including

30:27lower leadership I would say not uh the

30:30chiefs but other people within the fire

30:32department. And I have talked to the

30:35people that will be unfortunately losing

30:37their work as dispatchers. But at the

30:40same time, my main goal is hopefully be

30:43between now and July 2028,

30:47there'll be a chance for them to look

30:48for other employment if they so wish or

30:52hopefully we as a city will try to get a

30:56dispatch center closer to Marro. Uh we

30:59are going to be the largest community in

31:01Hullbrook's dispatch regionalization

31:04regional dispatch center. Uh but at the

31:07same time

31:09um there'll be other communities I think

31:11that will probably consider joining this

31:14region. It's the concepts are excellent.

31:18It's just unfortunately it's way down in

31:19Hullbrook and I'm hoping we will see

31:22some commitment from the group in the

31:25town of Hullbrook to maybe get a

31:27secondary site up here, but I will be

31:29changing my vote. I am in favor of the

31:32um actual regional center. Just hope it

31:35gets closer down the road. Thank you,

31:36Mr. President.

31:37>> Thank you, Council Orum. Any other

31:39comments or questions from the councils?

31:41Councelor Roby.

31:43>> Thank you, Mr. President. I was not able

31:45to attend the finance committee meeting

31:47and I'm not on finance so I wouldn't

31:48have been able to vote but I am also in

31:51favor of this and I I know going into it

31:54I also had concerns about the employees

31:57that the city currently has. Um but I

32:00think weighing those employees against

32:03the better choice [clears throat] of a

32:05regional center which I did go visit

32:08last week um it was pretty impressive to

32:11see what they had. I think the concerns

32:14that were brought up at the finance

32:16committee meeting were around how do

32:18people know where someone is when they

32:20call. Um so the first thing that was

32:22made clear when you call 911

32:25the operator asks you your name and

32:28where you're located. So immediately I

32:31mean unless you have no idea where you

32:32are. If you're on a cell phone they can

32:35see where you are on their screen

32:37immediately they know where you are. So

32:39even if you don't know, so you don't

32:41have to live in Malboro to know where on

32:44that map is that they are. So that made

32:47me much more comfortable. I was also

32:50under the impression, and I guess it

32:52used to be this way. When you called 911

32:55from a cell phone, it went to a state

32:59>> dispatch. It no longer does that. It

33:02goes to immediately to the area where

33:05you are located. So the issue of a state

33:10dispatcher then having to send it to

33:12someone else is gone. Um, [snorts] we

33:15were able to hear 911 calls that came in

33:18and to listen to the process to know

33:21that they had when that 911 call, every

33:25person was listening to the actual

33:28person who answered the phone so that

33:31they could immediately start the process

33:33of sending someone to help them. Um I

33:38think it from what I've heard the issue

33:40in Malber is that they're short of

33:44staff. So they don't have that

33:46redundancy for if one person's already

33:49on the phone and there's the second

33:51person gets a call there's no one then

33:53that can be the backup. So the regional

33:56system was just amazingly impressive. Um

34:00they are outgrowing their space. They

34:02made that very clear on the visit and

34:04they are looking to build somewhere and

34:07our understanding is they have looked at

34:09sites in Malber. Whether this is where

34:12they come is unclear at this moment.

34:15They can't commit to that. But obviously

34:18the first step is to get us to make the

34:21agreement to join the the uh regional

34:26center and then go from there. So, I

34:28would encourage that vote to happen

34:31tonight. Thank you.

34:32>> Thank you, Council Roi. Councelor

34:34Presiato.

34:35>> Thank you, Mr. President. Um, I also was

34:37not at the finance meeting, but I did

34:39watch the meeting. Um, I also spoke with

34:41city leadership regarding the dispatch

34:43center. Um, what were what would be the

34:45advantages of it financially and also um

34:48just in terms of safety for our city. Um

34:51I was um you know I was I was pleasantly

34:54surprised that you know there's um

34:56there's been a lot of thought put into

34:57this from from you know the police

34:59chief, the fire chief and all the other

35:01people that are involved in this in this

35:03um whole transition. Um and you know

35:08I really want to thank councelor Roi and

35:09councelor Orm for going to the dispatch

35:11center talking a little bit about it

35:12because um they're residents are

35:15definitely worried about the response

35:17time and the knowledge that we would

35:19possibly be losing from this dispatch

35:21center here and the people that work

35:22here. Um but we are very assured that

35:27you know with this technology

35:30it's so easy to find people here.

35:32there's no real lag in response time

35:34between emergencies or 911 calls. Um,

35:37this these systems are tried and true

35:39and and they've been running for for

35:40years now. So, I I have I personally

35:43have nothing to worry about about, you

35:44know, delays in response time and

35:46whatnot. Um, it is a very difficult

35:49decision to make um regarding the the

35:52employees that we do currently have in

35:53dispatch. Um, but it's my hope that we

35:56do get a more uh local center and

35:59hopefully that they can also apply to

36:01those positions as well. Um, but I think

36:03for the overall betterment of the city,

36:05this would be a good decision for us.

36:07Thank you.

36:07>> Thank you, Council Presiano. Council

36:09Vid,

36:10>> thank you, Mr. President. Um, I too

36:13talked with the leadership here in town

36:16and the it's almost certain that the

36:18quality of our of our system will

36:20improve if we go down to Hullbrook. It's

36:23also going to be a savings as we know

36:25for the for three years at least uh

36:28savings to the city. One thing that

36:30hasn't been mentioned and I think it's

36:31really really important is that the

36:34contract that we eventually will sign

36:35with Hullbrook um either party can

36:38terminate it with just in writing. So

36:41there is no there if it doesn't work we

36:43can just go right back to what we were

36:45doing. Um, and I think that that's a

36:47nice that's a nice uh add-on to the

36:49contract that that a lot of folks don't

36:51they think of a contract as a three-year

36:53contract, five-year contract. This could

36:55be a, you know, a very small contract if

36:57things don't work out. Thank you, Mr.

36:59President.

36:59>> Thank you, Council Vital. Council Ducet.

37:03>> Thank you very much, Mr. President. Um,

37:06I made it down there to visit the

37:08facility. I was extremely impressed with

37:09it. Um, the the communication it the

37:14technology nowadays, right? It doesn't

37:15matter where you are, you know, uh my

37:18biggest concern was redundancy, like how

37:21many different connections are you, you

37:22know, you're going to have between us

37:23and peeking and poking with them. They

37:25actually have they're pulling fiber.

37:28they already have fiber at a Sudbury uh

37:30that they own, you know, so there's

37:32there's a lot of infrastructure that

37:34they already have in place that is close

37:36enough to reach into us and provide that

37:38type of redundancy because we don't want

37:40the the communication to go down and

37:43suddenly we don't have 911, you know,

37:45but they have multiple redundant

37:46approaches including satellite with

37:49Starlink. So I don't think there's that

37:51much of an issue with that. Um, I think

37:54our dispatch center is woy inadequate

37:57and to invest in upgrading it would be a

38:00significant cost and this is a way to

38:02alleviate that cost while focusing long

38:04term on basically a more you know

38:07regional dispatch center possibly in

38:09Malber and I think that this is to learn

38:12from the best and then build and go

38:15beyond that with something closer to us.

38:18So hopefully it'll work out but thank

38:20you.

38:20>> Thank you councel Ducet. Council Fillo.

38:22>> Thank you, Mr. President. Um, I will not

38:24belabor the point. I know folks know I

38:26was very supportive of this in

38:27committee. [clears throat] I did have a

38:29chance last week to go down and see the

38:31whole Brook facility with Council Roby

38:33and I know Chief Goen and I had an

38:34opportunity to uh stand behind the main

38:37911 call taker for a couple of calls

38:39which was was a very unique experience.

38:41But um to see the facility right 15

38:44folks sitting around you know waiting

38:46for that 911 call to come in having a

38:48main liaison who's facilitating that

38:50call and to see quite literally as

38:52councelor Roby point out all 15 folks

38:54pick up the phone at the same time and

38:56in one particular 911 call it was a auto

38:59accident on Route 1 in Norwood. So right

39:02the concern that I keep hearing is that

39:03they won't have knowledge of the

39:04community because they're not from here.

39:06I asked the dispatcher, she's not from

39:08Norwood, so she, you know, right, to put

39:10that to bed, she was able to immediately

39:13identify which way on the road the

39:15vehicle was, right? Were they

39:16northbound? Were they southbound?

39:18Immediately, the two callers who were

39:20covering Norwood Police and Fire

39:22immediately dispatched both, right? They

39:24stayed on. You could hear all the other

39:25phones click when they all went down,

39:27right? Hullbrook and East and all the

39:29other communities putting the phones

39:30down cuz, okay, it's Route One in

39:32Norwood. This isn't me. But when another

39:34911 call came in, they were picking it

39:36up too to make sure that they were um

39:38always making sure every call was being

39:40answered. I thought that was incredibly

39:41impressive. Um seeing the five monitors

39:45displayed and immediately seeing the

39:46ping. I mean quite literally the call

39:48was answered and they had pinned the

39:50person in their location. Um not only

39:53that, but the dispatcher was able to see

39:55local businesses and I could hear her

39:57asking the gentleman on the phone,

39:59right? Um is is this business to the

40:01left of you or to the right of you? just

40:03double triplecheing their location to

40:05make sure they were getting it right. Um

40:07really really impressive stuff. Can't

40:08say enough good things. Um I know and I

40:11I could be wrong, but I believe

40:12Hullbrook assisted us when Malbor

40:14Hospital flooded, right? So they've

40:16already kind of had some some impact on

40:18our community and um based on what I

40:20heard from some of our first responders

40:22regarding that incident, they don't know

40:23if we would have been able to to handle

40:25that without the assistance of a

40:26regional facility like this. So I think

40:28that also shows that when we have major

40:30catastrophic events in town, it requires

40:33this coordinated effort that currently

40:34our dispatch just cannot handle. So um

40:37really really impressed, really

40:38supportive of this and can't wait to

40:40vote for it. Thank you, Mr. President.

40:41>> Thank you, Council Fillo. Councelor

40:42Naven,

40:44>> thank you very much, Mr. President. Um I

40:46also was not at the finance meeting. I

40:48was unable to attend. Um but I did watch

40:51it on TV and since I didn't use any of

40:53the valuable minutes that everyone else

40:55did, I'm going to use them now. I will

40:57belabor the point um that councelor

40:59Fchilla was kind enough not to do so. Um

41:02a lot of folks here have said um quite a

41:04bit about the the benefits of the

41:06system. Um and so I don't want to kind

41:08of be redundant on that part. For me, I

41:10kind of want to take a little bit of a

41:1130,000 look view. As many of you know,

41:14um I'm fortunate during my day job um to

41:16be able to work with a lot of our

41:18communities in the region and across the

41:19Commonwealth. um kind of witness dayto

41:22day what they're doing, what challenges

41:24they face um and kind of what they're

41:26trying to do to mitigate those

41:27challenges. Um and time after time, so

41:30many of these communities all face the

41:31same challenges where their budgets are

41:33growing too fast and their growth is not

41:35growing fast enough.

41:39What then comes is their struggle to

41:40provide services. Um we see that time

41:42and again across the Commonwealth.

41:44They're unable to provide services. And

41:46when those decisions have to get further

41:48delayed, it's not just what services

41:50they don't provide or how much taxes

41:52they have to raise. They start cutting.

41:54And when they have to get forced into

41:56making decisions, especially in smaller

41:58communities a little bit further away

41:59from us, and they have this regional

42:01conversation like we're having here

42:02today, they're having a conversation

42:05that gives up their control that ru that

42:08really diminishes the services that they

42:10provide. And so for me coming at this

42:13decision and coming at kind of looking

42:15at this, it speaks a lot to some of the

42:17things that Malber does. Right. Right.

42:19We are fortunate enough. We have the

42:20same financial talking points that Mr.

42:23President, you deliver to us and to to

42:25the people of this community every time

42:26we consider a budget, every time we set

42:28a tax rate, every time we consider a

42:30special permit. And we do have those

42:32same constraints,

42:35but through a lot of forward thinking, a

42:37lot of luck, and some tough decisions

42:39that are made here in this chamber and

42:40here up on the fourth floor, we have

42:43been able to kind of keep the storm at

42:45bay. And that storm is still coming. Um,

42:47it is no different. We all know what we

42:50face at home as an affordability

42:52challenge. What we see here in

42:53government, it is just magnified. And we

42:55talk about that a lot. by looking at

42:58some of these decisions such as this

43:00before us here today, some of the some

43:02of the growth opportunities before us. I

43:05think we all know I don't share

43:06everyone's opinion about all of the

43:07growth opportunities before us, but by

43:09looking at how to do this, it's not just

43:12about building more and getting more

43:14revenue in, although that's important.

43:16It's about how we're able to provide

43:17services better. Um, so for me, this is

43:20where I try to keep an open mind because

43:22as I heard when I watched the um when I

43:25watched the finance meeting,

43:27regionalization is a scary term. People

43:29are concerned when they start to hear

43:30that. They immediately think we're not

43:32going to have any control. We're not

43:34going to know anyone. I think it's a

43:35testament to all that you've spoken

43:37about here tonight that um the

43:40impressiveness of the facility. I also

43:42spoke with our public officials um our

43:44public safety officials here in Malbor

43:46um and really tried to pressure test

43:48what that means for them where the

43:50challenges are for them and you know

43:52between the cost of running the center

43:54the cost of the overtime when we can't

43:56staff our response center the

43:59>> one of the first if not

44:01>> the cost the cost um of upgrading the

44:05technology that is constantly running

44:07out of date um when we work with the

44:10other communities that are part of this

44:11new regional center. Um we're going to

44:13be able to share those costs without

44:15sacrificing some of the control and some

44:16of the services. And so I think for me

44:20that spoke to a a great benefit. Um I

44:23don't want to minimize the need of the

44:24employees that are are going to be

44:26impacted by this. Um I was heartened to

44:29know that folks that are part of our

44:32retirement system will be able to

44:34transfer that time in their public

44:36sector service into the system. um down

44:39in Hullbrook. I was also heartened to

44:41learn that, you know, the average

44:43starting salary is about $18,000 more.

44:45Um you know, that's not and that's not

44:47to minimize as someone who drives 2

44:49hours each way to work every day. Um I I

44:52get it. I get the struggle that that is

44:54and I don't want to minimize it. Um but

44:56again, I think that this is an important

44:58piece where we are able to continue to

45:00provide a service and we will be able to

45:01provide so in the future. Everybody else

45:03already kind of spoke about what the

45:05costs are going to be in the first few

45:06years. And you guys talked a lot at the

45:07committee, but it it's not insignificant

45:09where the Commonwealth is putting grant

45:11dollars and how they're rewarding the

45:13communities that are working together to

45:16save money and hopefully improve

45:18services. And so when it comes to that,

45:20when we can do so in this manner, I

45:22think it's important. Obviously, by the

45:24way, I've been going on, I will be

45:25supporting this this evening. Um, but

45:27Mr. President, I thank you for indulging

45:29me and um, I hope that this passes.

45:31Thank you. Thank you, Council Naven. Any

45:33other questions or comments from the

45:34counselors? Council Roby.

45:36>> Thank you, Mr. President. I just want to

45:38make clear that uh all of the

45:40communities have the option to withdraw

45:42at any time. Uh we were told that no one

45:45has left the regional center that is

45:48currently a member of it. Thank you.

45:51>> Thank you, Council Rob. Council Orum,

45:54>> I'll make it quick. M

45:56>> the one thing that I was concerned about

45:59is redundancy. Uh that same night, I

46:02believe we had an airport that was shut

46:04down and they had redundancy,

46:06but our police chief noted that if need

46:10be,

46:11all the officers in their patrol cars

46:14have cell phones issued now by the city.

46:17So if we had to, we could use cell

46:19phones if all the redundancy went down.

46:22You know, you just never know in this

46:24world. and the local emergency planning

46:26committee which I serve with uh they

46:28have their own radios, ham radios. So

46:30there's another opportunity for us to uh

46:33be involved if if something failed. But

46:36more importantly, I just want to thank

46:38the present dispatchers in our city for

46:41the work they do under the challenges

46:42they face and I hope and I wish them the

46:45best in their future careers. Thank you.

46:48>> Thank you, Councilwoman. Any other
