Manager, relative to Awaiting Report Item Number 10-52, regarding a report on
the possibility of structuring the parking ticket system in a way that would
increase parking tickets as people stay longer at expired meters or general
no-parking spots.
Approved, referred to Transportation, Traffic, &
Parking Committee
Apr 12, 2010
To the Honorable, the City Council:In response to Awaiting Report Item Number 10-52, regarding a report on the possibility of structuring the parking ticket system in a way that would increase parking tickets as people stay longer at expired meters or general no-parking spots, Traffic, Parking & Transportation Director Susan Clippinger reports the following:
Parking violations and the associated fines for the City of Cambridge are set by the Traffic Director in accordance with Chapter 455 of the Acts of 1961 which created the Department and as further regulated by MGL Chapter 90 Section 20A1/2.
Chapter 90, Section 20 A1/2 says in part:
The ...traffic director of any ... city ... having such a ... director with authority to promulgate traffic rules, ..., shall, from time to time, establish by rule or regulation a schedule of fines for violations subject to this section committed within such city ...; provided, however, that all such fines shall be uniform for the same offense committed in the same zone or district, if any; ...
We cannot create a fine that increases with time for two reasons. First, it is not allowed in Chapter 90. Second, there is no way of knowing when a vehicle first becomes illegally parked unless the PCO is standing beside the vehicle at the time.
If there are specific areas where illegally parked and ticketed vehicles are preventing others from accessing those spaces, please let us know. We can than focus enforcement on those particular areas to resolve the problem.
Very truly yours, Robert W. Healy, City Manager
5. Transmitting communication from Robert W. Healy, City Manager, relative to Awaiting Report Item Number 10-55, regarding a report on the policy of on-street parking spaces being used by construction workers.
Apr 12, 2010
To the Honorable, the City Council:
In response to Awaiting Report Item Number 10-55, regarding a report on the policy of on-street parking spaces being used by construction workers, Traffic, Parking & Transportation Director Susan Clippinger reports the following:
Contractor parking for major construction projects is currently handled in several ways depending on the location of the project. First choice is always that the contractor's vehicles are accommodated either on the construction site or at another off-street site. Contractor vehicles parked without paying the meter fee will be tagged for meter fee unpaid. Contractors feeding meters will be tagged for over staying the time limit at the metered spaces - meter overtime. When available parking is limited the property owner can request a "tool truck permit" to allow spaces adjacent to the construction site be reserved for the contractor's commercial vehicles during the construction work hours. The fee for those permits increases with number of spaces requested and duration of the permit. Requests will be reviewed to balance the needs of the contractor and the needs of the adjacent properties and businesses.
Very truly yours, Robert W. Healy, City Manager
6. Transmitting communication from Robert W. Healy, City Manager, relative to Awaiting Report Item Number 10-09, regarding a report on requirements of tap water being available on request at licensed establishments.
On Apr l, 2010 the Board of License Commissioners voted 2-0, after consulting with the restaurant industry, to advise all alcohol and non-alcohol licensed food establishments that it be a recommended practice that they serve tap water to any customer, upon request, free of any charge. The Commissioners reasoned that there are different levels of restaurant s, and a rule of this nature would not be applicable to all in the same way. The Commissioners ask that each restaurant use their best judgment as to their customers' needs.
The Commissioners want this information presented to the licensees at the next annual mandatory renewal meetings, as well as at the next CLAB meeting.
7. Transmitting communication from Robert W. Healy, City Manager, relative to Awaiting Report Item Number 10-42, regarding a report on whether the First Street corridor project can be extended to include visual improvements such as lighting.
8. Transmitting communication from Robert W. Healy, City Manager, requesting authorization in accordance with Chapter 30B to solicit bids for a 5-year contract for regular school bus transportation services.
Agenda Item No. 8A Apr 12, 2010
ORDERED: That the City Council go on record authorizing the Purchasing Agent to solicit bids for a five-year regular school bus transportation services contract, in accordance with Chapter 30B.
9. Transmitting communication from Robert W. Healy, City Manager, relative to Awaiting Report Item Number 10-33, regarding a report on the following questions with reference to the Main Library: plans for the public meeting spaces; use of the Library by high school students; usage date being collected; plans for a cafe space; and use of the underground parking.

in Cambridge; and
WHEREAS: Several of those high-profile, high-growth companies have not stayed in
Cambridge; and

economy and keeping our current small businesses afloat will have broad benefits

WHEREAS: Governor Deval Patrick filed legislation on Jan 22, 2010, entitled

WHEREAS: The City of Cambridge should have access to a diverse array of
financial tools for coping with the current economic climate; and
WHEREAS: Section 25 of HB4526: An Act Relative to Municipal Relief provides an
optional Early Retirement Incentive Program for cities and towns; and
WHEREAS: This program would allow a limited number of long term employees to
receive early retirement benefits, while restricting the City's ability to
refill those same positions to no more than 30%, 45% and 60% of the former total

COUNCILLOR CHEUNG
WHEREAS: Despite the fact that chronic viral hepatitis is the most common blood
borne infection in the United States, there is currently no routine and
universal screening in place for early detection; and
WHEREAS: Hepatitis B is a serious infection of the liver caused by the hepatitis
B virus (HBV), and can lead to premature death from liver failure or liver
cancer, with an estimated 46,000 new infections domestically each year; and
WHEREAS: HBV is dubbed a "silent killer" because it often infects
people without symptoms, and when symptoms do appear, it is often too late for
treatment to be effective; and
WHEREAS: A simple 3-shot hepatitis B vaccine can provide lifelong protection
against HBV; and
WHEREAS: Although Asians represent less than 10% of the total population in the
Boston area, they account for greater than 50% of new chronic hepatitis B cases;
and
WHEREAS: The goal of Hepatitis B Awareness Week is to highlight the global
nature of chronic viral hepatitis epidemics and recognize the need for a
comprehensive public education and awareness campaign designed to help infected
patients and their physicians identify and manage the secondary prevention of
the disease, and to help increase the length and quality of life for those
diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B infection; now therefore it be
RESOLVED: That the Cambridge City Council declares the week of May 16-22
"Hepatitis B Awareness Week;" and be it further
RESOLVED: That the Cambridge City Council supports raising awareness of
the risks and consequences of chronic hepatitis B infection, and the urgency for

O-7 Apr 12, 2010
COUNCILLOR CHEUNG
WHEREAS: Not since 2003, when the City commissioned a report from HMFH
Architects, Inc., has the city looked into the feasibility of a wind turbine at
Danehy Park and the wind harvesting potential of said site; and
WHEREAS: Since the release of this report the price of electricity has
skyrocketed; and
WHEREAS: The 2003 report only allowed for the consideration of a 250 kW turbine;
and
WHEREAS: New technology can accommodate a 600 kW turbine or larger; and
WHEREAS: Since the release of the HMFH Report, the cities of Medford and Hull
have instituted successful wind turbine programs that have far exceeded
expectations, with Hull's second wind turbine being siting on a former landfill,
similar to Danehy Park; and
WHEREAS: A wind turbine in Cambridge could not only be a proud and visible
stepping stone to a greener future but could also save the city millions of
dollars in electricity over time; now therefore it be
ORDERED: That the City Manager be and hereby is requested to confer with the
appropriate department heads on requisitioning a study on the feasibility of a
wind turbine at Danehy Park and the wind harvesting potential of the site; and
be it further
ORDERED: That the report include measurements for the largest possible turbine
for the site and analyze the advantages of Danehy Park, including its higher
elevation than the surrounding area.
O-8 Apr 12, 2010 amended
COUNCILLOR CHEUNG
WHEREAS: The Cambridge City Council is always looking for new ways to green our
economy and stimulate job growth; and
WHEREAS: Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) enabling legislation would allow
Cambridge to establish voluntary opt-in improvement districts, known as PACE
districts, to help property owners finance investments for energy efficiency and
renewable energy investment; and
WHEREAS: This arrangement spreads the cost of clean energy improvements-such as
energy efficient boilers, upgraded insulation, solar installations, etc - across
a payment plan that automatically transfers to the next property owner if the
property is sold; and
WHEREAS: Surveys report that limited capital availability is cited as the most
common barrier to capturing potential energy savings, and PACE bonding
mechanisms offer many advantages over traditional loans for financing energy
efficiency retrofits; and
WHEREAS: The PACE bond market has the potential to dramatically accelerate the
energy retrofitting of America's building stock and the passage of PACE
legislation would benefit property owners, existing lenders, and create job
growth; and
WHEREAS: PACE enabling legislation has passed in nearly twenty states over the
past year; and
WHEREAS: PACE enabling legislation is now up for debate in the Massachusetts
State House, Bill #4393 #4526; now
therefore be it
ORDERED: That The Cambridge City Council go on record urging the Cambridge
delegation to support said legislation; and be in further
ORDERED: That the City Clerk be and hereby is requested to transmit copies of
this order to the entire Cambridge Legislative Delegation on behalf of the
entire City Council.
