A National Grid representative, identified in the hearing as Mohammed, told the council the recloser \"helps isolate outages\" so that instead of larger outages affecting about 200 homes, only a smaller group — \"maybe 10, 15 people\" — would lose power and restoration would be quicker. The clerk recorded that all paperwork was on file and the fire department had no objections.

The council opened the hearing, invited the petitioner to speak, heard the explanation of the equipment’s function, and then closed the public portions; no members of the public registered in favor or opposition. The council then voted by hand and the petition was granted.

The petitioner will work with city staff and National Grid’s permits process to install the pole and the recloser at the location described in the petition filing.","National Grid asked to install a utility pole and a recloser on Mill Street to reduce the size and duration of outages; the council granted the petition by hand vote after the petitioner described the equipment’s outage-isolation function.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6150231,"Brockton council adopts several state grants for public works and parks; refers others to finance",304,1633000,1937000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5508944-3f3405e4343fef6ffd430b56e5b8a025&start=1633&end=1937","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5508944-3f3405e4343fef6ffd430b56e5b8a025/thumbnail_1633000.jpg","/articles/6150231/Brockton-City/Plymouth-County/Massachusetts/Brockton-council-adopts-several-state-grants-for-public-works-and-parks-refers-others-to-finance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6150231-fa9a094bd0513bc5484d87410d3f9526/orig.mp4?Expires=1775140574&Signature=CD2b7GDJPKq11SX1E55EMnbkJgTsf2Lft70QX7td7j5o-V~ygH67HpPEI5V7oCkhG6nt8XhEx-kvWJBQeQi7w9vI30nHQl~aDWDKL5zJc0nTLb0o70MrnGBEDKu4~bt4yP8ZfNSKWDvyn9RywjmJD7Uqk3hMDyWURcRYlxUE7SqSmSQmbHPdvAgGBh2S~0nZTIgdFCaVns~US3XuJQOck1Zov5JhTAbhEWNgY-VGNijahDK2yPYSXpCLPC6qmDlKNjWQt69~Q~UyZ4Nlq60RgX~f51uka2sPYbWZV3rDX-GOoLAGLOtJxaNdUvQvZvt-NYPayoYBzpKmwrlzNsXUgw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","BROCKTON, Mass. — At its July 28 meeting, the Brockton City Council adopted multiple orders authorizing acceptance and expenditure of state grants and donations for city departments and referred other grant requests to the finance committee for detailed review.

Orders adopted by roll call included a $500,000 MassDOT grant to the Department of Public Works (Highway), a $247,383.46 MassDOT grant to the Department of Public Works (Highway), a $40,000 grant from the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation to the DPW, a $1,200 donation from EMOS Recycling to the Department of Public Works, and a $1,321 donation from the Solon Saguaro Youth Organization to the Parks and Recreation Department. The clerk’s roll calls recorded the adoption of those orders by the council.

Combined, the council adopted authorizations to accept and expend at least $789,904.46 in grants and donations during the meeting. Two items were referred to the finance committee for further consideration: a $125,000 award from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (a substance misuse prevention grant program noted in the mayor’s communication) and a $50,000 grant from the Department of Mental Health to the Brockton Police Department; councilors directed those matters to finance rather than taking final action on the floor.

Councilors noted the routine procedural steps under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 44 when the mayor requests acceptance and expenditure of grant funds; multiple items had already been reviewed by the standing committee on finance and were returned with favorable reports before the council’s roll-call votes.

Staff will complete the administrative acceptance procedures and any reporting required by the grant terms. Items referred to the finance committee will return to the full council after committee review.","The council adopted multiple grant orders at the July 28 meeting — including two MassDOT grants to Public Works, DCR funds, and small donations to city departments — and referred public-health and police grant items to the finance committee for further review.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6150235,"Brockton council confirms slate of appointments, including fire alarm operator and redevelopment authority member",1566,134000,1700000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5508944-3f3405e4343fef6ffd430b56e5b8a025&start=134&end=1700","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5508944-3f3405e4343fef6ffd430b56e5b8a025/thumbnail_134000.jpg","/articles/6150235/Brockton-City/Plymouth-County/Massachusetts/Brockton-council-confirms-slate-of-appointments-including-fire-alarm-operator-and-redevelopment-authority-member","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6150235-8f53083797d5c52db7db77b35607a629/orig.mp4?Expires=1775140574&Signature=X8gYBzuXozv4c1LzqIqTHAD0htTxhpvh4IuhLfp6cXHIUJ8KngWXX0RfThxcUBhHvKTNcZluKqXsBp-7wb9eLDV5~T1tZwbX7ar8bia8nM3ccYYj8oOy02hNSB-k2NkVGd8-ettiDDiq3xFTrFYS4lPiL65y7uXocinbnzIfxMup8iNZ3BQNm7IYHXNLftfmFtY2CXwbg-KbOSZzAFG-NWo~J1I8ZM6aGxKXfg3cQeeL9fpHnN882Wvj5WxLL0EEXSPvxj2FjfPSelNyJlywKc2Tyyid2NjHGnJIXhD962-aR0TRm0VjFKU0uMu923fTobMzOgDUS9LPkUzzoPlPwg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","BROCKTON, Mass. — The Brockton City Council on July 28 confirmed a series of appointments and reappointments to city boards, departments and authorities, including the confirmation of Daniel J. Reedy as a fire alarm operator in the Brockton Fire Department and Jamie Hodges to the Brockton Redevelopment Authority.

Reedy, who the fire chief described as having prior experience as a dispatcher at Northeastern University, was confirmed by roll-call vote. Chief Nardelli told the council: \"This has been a vacant position that it just took a little while to get through civil civil service to get the background investigations done, and we are running short in that department. So to be able to get him started right away is is greatly appreciated.\" The council recorded the appointment as confirmed.

The council also confirmed Jamie Hodges to the Brockton Redevelopment Authority. Hodges spoke to the council at the meeting, saying she had served as an alternate on the Zoning Board of Appeals for the past four years and that she sees redevelopment work as \"creating pathways for families, supporting small businesses, and making sure that every decision made reflects the needs and values of people, who live in the city of Brockton.\" Several councilors spoke in support of Hodges before the roll-call confirmation.

Other confirmations and reappointments acted on July 28 included: the reappointment of Kenneth Galligan to the Zoning Board of Appeals (the council took the item up under suspension of the rules and later confirmed the appointment by roll call), reappointments to the Council on Aging board, the Cultural Council, the Conservation Committee, and the Brockton Retirement Board, among others. Multiple appointments were confirmed by recorded roll-call votes; the clerk’s roll calls recorded the confirmations as adopted.

Several council motions for reconsideration were made following appointments; the council voted on the motions for reconsideration and those reconsideration motions failed, leaving the original confirmations in place.

The confirmations concluded a lengthy appointments section of the agenda; the council thanked volunteers and appointees for their service.","The City Council confirmed multiple appointments and reappointments on July 28, including Daniel J.
