Davis Ward Six City Councilor Present Kristen Strezo City Councilor at Large Present Mr. Mastrobuoni informed the committee of some additional documents that have been added to the website. Documents were also added to the "handout" section on the website. Estimated tax impacts in rrsponses folder. Chair will recap where we are and then move to cuts with SPD first. Then through book in order presentedd to committee. Review of FY-22 Budget Councilor Rossetti asked Mr. Bean about the impact of a $3.1 million cut to the FY-22 budget on tax bills. 1 million budget cut. She asked that the administration come back to the Council with a supplement to the tax levy. Mr. Bean said the final numbers would take place at recap time in the fall, adding that the new growth could be higher than projected at that time plus the state budget hasn't been finalized yet either. Councilor Rossetti stated her concerns, in part due to the water sewer increases along with a 10% increase in real estate tax bills and increased payments coming due for the new high school. She believes that those increases will lead to rent increases. She would like to use some of the $70 million the city is receiving in ARPA funds to help to lower the tax bills as other communities are doing. Mr. Bean is hopeful that commercial property will increase allowing the city to shift some of the tax burden off the backs of homeowners. He said that he understands that the impact will be bigger this year. Noting that there have also been significant issues with the water and sewer infrastructure. He said that the proposed budget tries to reflect what's happening in the city. Chair Scott noted that there are 40 new positions in this budget and said that requests made by

Finance Committee Page 2 of 13 Printed 10/4/2021 the council during the budget meetings have so far totaled $880,000. Councilor Niedergang submitted the following 3 resolutions: • That the Mayor increase the OSPCD Mobility Division budget by an additional $50,000 for additional studies, in order to move forward rapidly with implementation of Vision Zero. For example, a comprehensive traffic signal study and inventory and plan for fixing the many outdated and ineffectual traffic signals in Somerville are desperately needed. Other studies that should be undertaken as soon as possible and will need funds in the budget are an inventory and evaluation of pick-up/drop-off areas, and an analysis and report that delineates a standard operating procedure for the placement of flexible delineators (flex posts and other quick build deployments) at crosswalks and in other locations. This motion was initially tabled and then withdrawn. • That the Mayor increase the OSPCD Mobility Division budget by at least an additional $50,000 to be used exclusively for translation and interpretation services and communications to provide multilingual and equitable access to public presentations and meetings about street redesign and redevelopment, parking, and other issues of concern to residents. This motion was initially tabled and then withdrawn. • That the Commissioner of Public Works develop, staff, implement and assess a program for City snow-clearing at highly-travelled sidewalks, at high-pedestrian-traffic street crossings, sidewalk corners, bus stops, and curb cuts and accessibility ramps and that the Mayor request from this Council additional funds for this program if necessary. This motion was initially tabled and then withdrawn. Councilor Davis submitted a resolution to add 2 mental health positions to HHS. Councilor Mbah submitted a Resolution that HHS add 5 mental health counselors to support and expand services provided to the Somerville School District through the Trauma Response Network. Councilor Rossetti explained that the School Committee and School Superintendent have authority over the school budget and that the Council may only strike funds from the bottom line. Councilor Mbah stated that he would reconsider this Resolution. Councilor McLaughlin was recused from all Police Department discussions. POLICE Councilor Niedergang read a statement about his thoughts on the Police Department budget and made the following motion: • That the Police Department budget be level funded, resulting in a cut of $1,580,206 from its proposed FY-22 budget. He sponsored Chief Femino to speak on the proposed cut. Chief Femino said the SPD is currently operating with 81 officers and the level of services has felt the impact of reduced staffing. He pointed out that serious crime has risen and that there have been 18 confirmed shootings in the city in recent months. Staffing levels are appropriate at this time but there is a need to establish a baseline moving forward. Overnight gun and gang related crime requires several officers to respond to those incidents. Chief Femino said he is open to having a staffing analysis and doesn’t want to reduce staffing now only to find out later that it has to be increased to accommodate the work of the Office of Racial and Social Justice (RSJ). Councilor Mbah

Finance Committee Page 3 of 13 Printed 10/4/2021 thinks there are less harmful people available to help than police officers and he believes that reimagining the Police Department needs to be accelerated. He will be proposing a $500,000 cut from the SPD salary line item. Councilor Ballantyne gave her thoughts and said that those most affected by crime should be at the table of reimagining police. The RSJ director needs to get started and get people involved. With respect to the budget, she would level fund the SPD and would support filling retirement vacancies. She’ll support 6 patrol positions for 1 month and support a Finance and Administration position. She also supports a police staffing study but wants funding for it in SomerStat. She noted that police overtime costs are close to $200K over their overtime budget now. She doesn’t know what the answer is about handling the many well-being calls received but she doesn’t think that the police should deal with them. Councilor Davis commented that the cut funds from SPD could be used for mental health services and he said that he supports a supervised consumption site. Councilor Ewen-Campen stated that the way funding is allocated is harmful to the city in so many areas, e.g., shelter, food, housing, etc., noting that the city has limited resources and they should be allocated properly because under-investing in other areas decreases public safety. Councilor Clingan would like an updated police study that takes into account the types of services provided now. He praised the SPD for saving lives and thinks that cuts are wrong. He would support cuts, though, if every Councilor would vote for a moratorium on forced overtime for police officers and he urged Councilors to allow the RSJ Director to do her job before making these cuts. Councilor Strezo said she stands for revisioning police, but everyone is not at table yet and a plan is needed. She commented that many constituents have told her that police should not be defunded and that the city needs more police. Councilor Rossetti said that it’s been about a 50/50 split on the SPD budget from the public hearing and emailed comments. Ms. Molina Capers, RSJ Director, said it’s impulsive to react now and it would be doing a dis-service to the community. She wants police to be at the table with their heads held high. If staffing levels are cut, OT increases and officers feel the effects of working many hours. Councilor White is frightened by the approach taken and repercussions that would result from the cuts proposed in this motion. He explained what level funding is and asked if one would reduce fire staff if there was a reduction in fires. Using crime stats to staff police is not the correct method to be used. Councilor Clingan said that citing a decrease in crime as a reason to reduce police is wrong and is a gamble until all the facts are in. Chair Scott agrees with Councilor Clingan on a forced OT moratorium. He said he’s looking at the requests made by the Council for additional funding, boards and commissions, and he thinks the police budget cuts could be used for these things. The motion failed. Councilor Mbah proposed to cut $500,000 from the Police PS salary line. The motion failed. Councilor Ballantyne proposed to cut $93,662.00 from the Police PS salary line. Chief Femino explained when these vacancies could be filled and Councilor Rossetti stated that the soonest Confirmation meeting would not be until September. The motion was approved. Councilor Ballantyne proposed to cut $177,106.00 from the Police PS salary line. The motion was approved. The meeting was recessed at 8:49 PM and reconvened at 8:55 PM

Finance Committee Page 4 of 13 Printed 10/4/2021 Councilor Ballantyne proposed to cut the Police OM Professional and Technical Services line by $60,000 (for a staffing study). Mr. Mastrobuoni said it’s a cross-department project and he can resubmit it to wherever the Council wants. The motion was approved. Councilor Ballantyne proposed adding $60,000 to the OM P&T line in RSJ for the Police staffing study and sponsored Denise Molina Capers to speak. Clingan asked if study would be helpful and Ms. Molina Capers said its necessary to assess using recent data in order to reimagine police. The motion was approved. Councilor Scott proposed a cut of $76000 from the Police OM budget (safety supplies). The motion was approved. The meeting was recessed at 9:21 PM and reconvened at 9:25 PM City Council Councilor Rossetti thanked the administration for the language change in the budget book (below) and for the $50,000 allocation for outside counsel. Councilor Rossetti’s previously tabled motion “that the administration strike the language “related to ongoing/exiting litigation” from the 3rd paragraph of the Ordinary Maintenance Changes narrative on the City Council page in the FY-22 Budget book” was withdrawn. Chair Scott proposed adding translation services to the Clerk of Committees budget for translation support services in amount of $18,000. The motion was approved. Chair Scott noted that none of the Clerks of Committees have received a raise in some time. Ms. Racaniello informed the Chair that the 2 monthly clerks will be getting a raise of 5% from the increased salaries budget. City Clerk Councilor Clingan proposed adding $53,000 to create an additional clerk in City Clerk’s Office to staff the Wage Theft Advisory Committee and the Jobs Retention Trust Fund to perform clerical duties. The motion was approved. RSJ Chair Scott’s motion that the mayor set aside an additional $300,000 in a segregated fund to be available for Racial and Social Justice appropriations mid-year was approved.

Finance Committee Page 5 of 13 Printed 10/4/2021 Denise Taylor said that the department is under resourced for translation services and is in the process of assessing needs and goals of the department. ISD Chair Scott’s motion that the mayor create 2 fully funded new positions (one Review Planner and one Violation Inspector for existing infrastructure) within ISD, requiring hires to have demonstrable experience and knowledge on ADA compliance matters, was approved. Councilor Rossetti asked Personnel Director Anne Gill to prioritize filling ISD positions in light of a 35% anticipated retirement of staff. Treasury Chair Scott’s motion that the administration provide for the creation of a position starting July 1, 2021 for a clerk to assist with the planned superannuation of an employee and ensure a fully staffed department, in the amount of $90,000 for FY22, was approved. Grants Chair Scott’s motion that the administration provide for the creation of a position starting October 1, 2021 for an administrative clerk to assist with ARPA and fund tracking documentation, in the amount of $50,000 for FY22, was approved.

Councilor Rossetti’s motion that the Administration reconsider its proposed budget by incorporating 10% of ARPA funds towards the FY-22 Budget, given the increase in Water and Sewer rates, Real Estate Taxes, and the High School debt exclusion, coupled with a 9% increase in the proposed FY-22 Budget was not voted on and remains on the table.

Finance Committee Page 6 of 13 Printed 10/4/2021 The meeting was recessed at 11:05 PM and reconvened at 11:10 PM. Councilor Davis’ motion that the mayor add 2 mental health positions to the HHS Department, was withdrawn. Councilor Mbah’s motion that the administration add 5 mental health counselors to HHS to support and expand services provided to the Somerville School District through the Trauma Response Network, was withdrawn. A motion by Councilor Davis & Mbah that the mayor add 5 mental health/ social worker positions to the HHS Department, was approved. SomerStat Chair Scott motioned to cut the new position for a Digital Innovation Officer. Ms. Desir said this position would increase government transparency among other things and will engage community members directly. The department has a small staff and can’t provide level of service community deserves. Councilor Ballantyne asked about the RSJ budget digital bridge initiative being tied to this position and Ms. Desir said SomerStat will work with them. Councilor McLaughlin said the Council asked for some positions months ago and now these have just been requested in the past few days. He said that he is disappointed how this is being handled and he thinks this is a circus. The motion failed. Chair Scott motioned to cut the vacant position in OES Mr. Sellars-Garcia explained the importance of the position. The motion failed. DPW Councilor Rossetti asked for a status on her request for an executive session to discuss the status of the DPW commissioner. It has not been scheduled yet per Chair Scott and Councilor Rossetti would like it to happen prior to the Council’s summer recess. Councilor Rossetti asked about splitting buildings and grounds into 2 divisions and has concerns about negotiating in good faith. She wished it was vetted with the union prior to putting it in the budget. Ms. Lathan said unions were made aware and there will be some things to work out, especially with seniority. The city’s issue is alignment of the DPW. Councilor Rossetti also questioned the addition of a Superintendent of Buildings among the 3 new positions in the Buildings Department. Councilor White doesn’t think this can be done without an administrative order and suggests getting an opinion from Law Department. Chair Scott sponsored Frank Wright for his opinion and Mr. Wright said he would need more facts in order to render an opinion. He will look at it and have an opinion ready tomorrow. Councilor Niedergang would like to know what the conversation with the union entailed and Ms. Lathan said she could only speak to what she knows. Ms. Gill said that this conversation is better suited for an executive session. Councilor White thinks it’s best to vote this out without any approval of the DPW
