City Council Meeting 12/6

Alysha McDevitt December 9, 2016

On Tuesday, December 6,  the City Council met at the Senior Center in Malden. Prior to the Council meeting, the Waterfront Access Committee, Rules and Ordinance Committee, Finance Committee all met to discuss varying occurrences around the city.

The meeting began with a recess, due to technical difficulties, which hindered the meeting from being televised. The Council granted a Malden woman permission to sell Christmas trees from December 7 to the 25. Multiple local businesses were requesting permission to extend their hours, to which the Council referred them to license. Similar to previous meetings, the councillors discussed construction and construction budgets around the city, as well as the Moratorium Committee created a while back.

The technical difficulties were resolved just in time for the councillors to tell Malden that Santa Clause is coming to town. It was announced that Santa will be in the Pine Banks park, as well as Ward 7 in the upcoming weekends.

The Rules and Ordinances Committee, which includes Councillors Spadafora, DeMaria, Crow, O’Malley, and Kinnon, met to discuss and amendment to sections 8.35 through 8.38, which refer to non-union salary schedules. The Finance Committee then met to discuss the following:

  • “Funds be transferred to departmental budget to fund a 2% increase in certain non-union salaries.”
  • “That $41,899 be transferred from revenue reserve to mayor’s office salaries.”
  • “That $37,352 be transferred from revenue reserve to police salaries.”
  • “That $14,000 be transferred from permits, inspections and planning salaries to permits, inspections and planning professional services.
  • “That $24,549 be transferred from police salaries to public facilities salaries.”

(All information can be found under the details of each Committee meeting on cityofmalden.org)
