Summary
The mayor submitted several communications including large funding requests, appointment confirmations, a $1,000 donation to the Fire Department, and requests for executive sessions; the council referred items to the appropriate committees (Finance, Licenses & Franchises, Committee of the Whole).
The clerk read a series of communications from the mayor. Notable items included a request to accept objections regarding vetoes on earlier orders (referred to Ordinances & Rules), a request to name the West Wing of 617 Lexington Street for Robert Eagle (referred to Licenses & Franchises), a transfer request of $678,550 to fund the early years of a three-year collective bargaining agreement, and a $1,000 donation to the Waltham Fire Department from the Riverty Foundation (both referred to the Finance Committee).
The mayor also submitted materials related to an affordable-housing application for "Cardinal Cottage," with the required affordable-housing restriction noted as being drafted by the law department, and requested confirmations of appointments to the Council on Aging and Cemetery Commissioners (referred to the Committee of the Whole). The mayor requested opportunities for executive sessions on matters involving property purchases; the chair directed those communications to the Committee of the Whole where those matters already have pending consideration.
