AUTHORIZING A STOP SIGN ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF HOLLYHOCK AVENUE
AT ITS INTERSECTION WITH CHERRYWOOD DRIVE
Given its first reading; assigned to the COMMITTEE ON INFRASTRUCTURE by President McCarthy

PERIOD FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT
Ms. Mary Elizabeth Carroll, 91 % Chandler Street

| was last here in January. I’m very sick right now; | almost went into cardiac arrest because my clothes
were loaded with a chemical that looks and feels like glass. After having Christmas with my mother | saw a
bed bug on my bedroom wall and | went to the Marblehead Board of Health and gave them some
information about the environment and they told me to go to a dermatologist. | saw the dermatologist on
February 29" and in between I’ve been into three houses and infected them. | went to Heidi’s building on
Monday after | saw the dermatologist; Heidi Peek is the environmental health lady and she doesn’t care. |
told her that | was on fire and was contagious. She said “you think you are highly contagious.” So | said
okay I'll go to your building until one of you gets sick. She said she didn’t want to see me every day as that
was negative attention so | went to her building on Tuesday and | stayed in the hallway. It was a little
contaminated. | went back on Wednesday and it was really contaminated. Thursday | saw my case
manager at Community Council and he said Heidi had called him and left a message with an intake worker
telling her that | am on fire. She should be calling poison control and not Community Council. My anger
issues with Heidi may be a psychiatric issue but the poison in my body is Heidi Peek’s issue. Yesterday |
saw glass pouring out of both of my hands. Heidi is useless and she doesn’t care. | am trying to find a
dermatologist to do a biopsy but there’s nothing on me and according to the doctors if it’s not on you then
it's not in you. Like | said to the Mayor last year the beaches are connected to the ocean and the ocean is
connected to the whole world. | am going on all of Facebook and all of Twitter tomorrow because | can’t
find a doctor. | guess | am going to infect every building until the whole building gets sick. I'll just keep
infecting Heidi’s building until someone gets sick. It’s not right that someone has to get sick to prove I’m
sick but if that’s the way Heidi Peek wants it.

Mr. Bernie Cote, 22 Granley Street

| don’t know if this is the proper place to bring this up but this is about a crosswalk on Main Street where
that Santander Bank is. Well, | was heading toward the Bank of America and | was trying to cross and the
cars wouldn’t stop. Number one, the crosswalk needs to be repainted and you need to put a sign there
marked “crosswalk/pedestrian’s walking.” Someday someone is going to get run over.

REMARKS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN

Alderman Lopez

I'd like to thank the previous speaker for making that comment. | think any citizens who spot dangerous
areas in the city should give the feedback back to the city. | also wanted to remark on the debate we had
regarding the grant for the Public Health Department. | think Alderman Siegel raised a value point about
making sure that we do research before endorsing pieces of legislation. | took that to heart and | want to
apologize to the Board for not having the answers that | should have had as the liaison to the Board of
Health. I'll do my best to do better in the future. | also wanted to make an announcement that this
Saturday at 11:00 a.m. there is an awareness walk to raise awareness of the impact of the opioid crisis. |

Board of Aldermen Page 20
March 8, 2016

encourage all of the Board of Aldermen to attend. It really puts a human face on the numbers and statistics
that we may be seeing and the need for the resources that we are custodians of.

Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja

Several of you got e-mails or texts from me regarding use of the microphone last night, especially the use
of the public microphone; it was not well situated for many of the speakers to be caught. | think if you are
running a meeting to make sure it’s all captured appropriately.

Alderman Schoneman

| think the issue last night was that the people weren’t speaking into it.

Alderman Siegel

I'd like to thank Mr. Cote for coming up, hopefully that’s something we can take a look at. Regarding the
meeting last night | think part of the problem was that it was just general mayhem. There was a period of
time during public comment where it was just a lot of yelling when it should have been more orderly. It
wasn’t supposed to be an on-going debate about legislation that had already been voted on. | would like to
not have to go through that again as it wasn’t a pleasant experience.

Alderman Cookson

| wanted to make reference to R-16-014 which was regarding changing the purposed of up to $600,000 of
unexpended bond proceeds from the Broad Street School Elementary project. | want you to know and |
am seeking guidance on this particular topic; | received a call from a constituent in Ward 1 who was
concerned about the darkness of the intersection of Broad Street and Upstone. Surprisingly the
construction that took place to remove the wooded area to increase the parking has actually made the
intersection darker as you are travelling westbound towards Hollis. You don’t see your headlights reflect
on the brush or the trees so it’s very difficult to see. With that being said | don’t know what the solution is.
There is a pole that’s directly across the street but it doesn’t have cobra headlight on it. Do you request the
electric company to install a cobra? Do we do that through infrastructure or is there an opportunity with
some of the $600,000 that are pulling away from the school to actually look at that intersection to make a
lighted improvement so you can see the intersection at Upstone?

President McCarthy

It isn’t something we generally do out of the bond proceeds. It would be done through the Infrastructure
Committee via a communication asking them to install a light on that pole and why.

Alderman Cookson
If that light is not enough? That’s my concern.

President McCarthy

Then we would have to look at it some more. That might be a good place to try out some of the new
fixtures when we get around to it. Those lights are not tremendously expensive if | recall and it should be
paid for out of the streetlight account which should have enough money to cover it.

Board of Aldermen Page 21
March 8, 2016

Alderman Cookson

The practice throughout the city is that we alternate lights; one on and one off and in this case you would
have three consecutive lights lit and I’m not sure if that’s a big deal or not.

President McCarthy

We typically go off script when it comes to streetlights.
Alderman Dowd

After reading the minutes of the Infrastructure meeting, | went through that intersection at night. | think with
the new LED lights that those two lights would be intense enough for that intersection. If you put in three
LED’s you might have neighbors complaining about it being too light.

Alderman Clemons

Regarding the Personnel & Administrative Affairs Committee meeting last night, | will take responsibility for
the public not being able to hear. We had a very heated crowd there who were not in favor of the
legislation that we had passed. There was some confusion and even Alderman LeBrun received an e-mail
yesterday that the meeting had been cancelled. To compound that problem we had moved the meeting to
an earlier time to facilitate a heavy schedule. | suppose the discussion could have been handled more
appropriately however | do believe that the public needs to speak at the committee meetings and ask
questions of us as well. As far as that practice goes | won’t be changing that.

Alderman Wilshire

| wanted to thank the Mayor for the two excellent appointments he brought forward tonight and the Board
for confirming both. | have high respect for both individuals who were confirmed tonight. | also wanted to
thank Mr. Cote for brining those concerns to the Board.

Inaudible from a member of the audience.
