Christine Lamas Weinberg, Katherine Shozawa and Olufolakemi Alalade. I have come to look upon those who choose to serve on City boards and commissions as possessing a sort of nobility. Regardless of their age, these public- spirited people are like the Village Elders. They serve without compensation and, in some cases, most notably the Planning Board, they devote a significant amount of time in this voluntary capacity. Perhaps we should form a congress of all those who serve or who have served at one time – The League of Extraordinary Ladies and Gentlemen. Manager’s Agenda #1.
A communication transmitted from Richard C. Rossi, City Manager, relative to the Outdoor Lighting Zoning recommendations. These are the zoning amendments that would go along with the proposed Outdoor Lighting Ordinance. It has been interesting, and at least somewhat entertaining, watching how this reasonable proposal to regulate intrusive lighting has led to some people wanting to expand it to deal with all lighting, including advertising signage that shine into the bedrooms of no one.
This seems like a particularly Cambridge sort of thing – a proposal to regulate something turning into a proposal to regulate everything. I like the idea of establishing some standards for outdoor lighting, particularly in residential areas, as a courtesy to those who would like to get a good night’s sleep. What this has to do with decorative lighting, especially garish and aesthetically questionable lighting in places like North Point, escapes me.
Perhaps that’s the real point of these zoning recommendations – to grant the Planning Board some regulatory authority for this other stuff while the Municipal Lighting Ordinance remains focused on ensuring that spotlights don’t shine into people’s bedroom windows or darken the night sky. Manager’s Agenda #1.
A communication transmitted from Richard C. Rossi, City Manager, relative to the votes necessary to seek approval from the Massachusetts Department of Revenue of the tax rate for FY2.
A. Authorize the use of Free Cash of $1. FY1. 7 tax rate; B. Authorize $2,0. 00,0. FY1. 7 tax rate; C. Authorize $1,7. 00,0. City Debt Stabilization Fund to be used as a revenue source to the General Fund Budget; D.

Under MGL Chapter 5. Section 5, Clause 1. E; L. Vote the FY1. MGL Chapter 5. 9, Section 5, Clause 4. D as follows: income and assets limits for elderly persons from income limits of $2. M. Vote the income limit for deferral of real estate taxes by elderly persons as determined by the Commissioner of Revenue for the purposes of MGL Chapter 6.
Section 6, subsection (k) for a single person ($5. As Bob Healy would always say, the City doesn’t set the property tax rates. The Department of Revenue does. He would also add that once these votes are taken these rates are virtually guaranteed to be the same as those given in the communication: .
This is a decrease of $0. FY1. 6. The commercial tax rate will be $1. FY1. 6. Property values have been escalating so rapidly (average of 1. Riverside and Cambridgeport. Manager’s Agenda #1. A communication transmitted from Richard C. Rossi, City Manager, relative to the Broadband Task Force recommendations and Tilson Report.
Boondoggle alert. One estimate is that it would cost $1. Comcast or another Internet service provider in favor of such a new network, especially if Comcast adjusts its pricing structure a little. That’s a lot of public money expended for a discount. Anyway, this report just calls for a Feasibility Study. Manager’s Agenda #1. A communication transmitted from Richard C.
Rossi, City Manager, relative to City accomplishments during City Manager 2. Read Rich Rossi’s memo. It has been a busy few years.
Then think for a while about all of the major capital projects Richie has played a lead role in over the last few decades. It will make you feel pretty good about City government in Cambridge – even on the evening when votes are being taken to determine how much property tax you’ll be paying this year. Manager’s Agenda #1. A communication transmitted from Richard C. Rossi, City Manager, relative to Awaiting Report Item Number 1.
Vail Court by eminent domain. Hallelujah! The City takes this step only when absolutely necessary, and this is long overdue. Manager’s Agenda #1.
A communication transmitted from Richard C. Rossi, City Manager, relative to the City’s Agreement with Mass. DOT and MBTA regarding funding contribution agreement for Green Line Extension Project.
These are the details associated with the announced agreement that was made several months ago. Order #5.

City on the proposed policies. A communication was received from Paula M. Crane, Deputy City Clerk, transmitting a report from Mayor E. Denise Simmons, Chair of the Housing Committee for a public hearing held on Aug 3.
Inclusionary Housing Study and the Draft Recommendations of the Community Development Department. Committee Report #2.
A communication was received from Paula M. Crane, Deputy City Clerk, transmitting a report from Mayor E. Denise Simmons, Chair of the Housing Committee for a public hearing held on Sept 8, 2. Inclusionary Housing Study and Draft Recommendations of the Community Development Department. The Housing Committee has now voted that the Community Development Department’s recommendations for Inclusionary Zoning be forwarded to the full City Council with a favorable recommendation. Primarily this will set the Inclusionary Housing required percentage for new construction over a minimum size at 2. City Council could still modify this proposed percentage.
There will apparently still be some discussion about whether this will be phased in and, if so, over what period. I still remain skeptical whether this requirement will be economically feasible beyond the short term. I also have some misgivings about a future in which only wealthy people will be able to afford market housing with everyone else having to apply to a government agency to access housing that is affordable to them. The biggest mistake made over the last 2. That had previously been one of the most significant sources of affordable housing for both owners and renters. Thurs, Sept 2. 95: 3.
Special City Council Meeting to vote on extending an offer to a finalist for the position of City Manager. Additionally, the City Council may meet in Executive Session to conduct strategy sessions in preparation for negotiations with the prospective City Manager or to conduct contract negotiations with the prospective City Manager.
As I stated at the microphone last Monday – I wish the City Council good wisdom and good luck.
