Here are the handful of items from the City Manager plus some Orders that leapt out like a clenched fist from the make-believe proletariat:
Manager’s Agenda #1. A communication transmitted from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, relative to an update on COVID-19.
Manager’s Agenda #7. A communication transmitted from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, relative to efforts to respond to the restaurant community’s need to expand outdoor dining services in response to Governor Baker’s announcement that restaurants will be permitted to provide outdoor dining services at the commencement of Phase II of the Commonwealth’s Reopening Plan…
I’m very curious to see how this slow and cautious "reopening" works out. I don’t think things will really be anywhere close to the way they were pre-corona for a long time. I still find it surreal to see everyone (or nearly everyone) wearing masks (including me). How this will work out with restaurants is largely unknown. It would be a lot simpler if they all had parking lots that could be reallocated for outdoor seating, but much of Cambridge is nothing like some suburban shopping center with those options available and plentiful. All we have are the sidewalks, maybe some portions of streets – and those really only work for restaurants adjacent to or very close to those spaces.
Then again, I suppose if you just advertise your business as a protest march many of the restrictions and health & safety guidance will be waived.
Order #1. That the Cambridge City Council schedule a hearing to discuss the possible use of body cameras by the Cambridge Police Department. Councillor McGovern, Mayor Siddiqui, Vice Mayor Mallon, Councillor Simmons
Order #7. That the City Manager be and is hereby requested to report back to the Council on how some, or all, of the $4.1 million dollar increase in the Police Department budget between FY20 and FY21 may be redirected towards measures that promote public health and safety in other departments. Councillor Sobrinho-Wheeler, Councillor Zondervan
Communications & Reports #2. A communication was received from Councillor Zondervan, regarding Funding our Community, Transforming our Policing.
Order #8. That the Cambridge City Council declare racism as a public health crisis. Mayor Siddiqui, Councillor Simmons, Councillor Zondervan, Vice Mayor Mallon
So much of this is based on an interesting metaphysical principle apparently accepted by a number of city councillors, namely that action at a distance works with political reform in much the same way as gravitational attraction. If you are horrified by abusive and even deadly behavior by law enforcement in a place like Minneapolis (as well you should be), then cutting funds to your local police department will address that horror. I have seen published a list of great ideas that should be the standard for law enforcement – and basically all of them are already established policy for Cambridge Police. So much for recognizing and rewarding positive initiatives.
For what it’s worth, I have no particular love for mass movements – including pro-Trump rallies, Our Revolution gatherings, "Defund the Police" actions, or even celebrations after your favorite team just won the World Championship. That said, I’m glad to see that at least the violence seems to be lessening – "flattening the curve" seems to be understood across lots of categories. I saw some bits and pieces from the Sunday rally on the Cambridge Common and was encouraged by some of the sense expressed by participants and organizers. Parenthetically, I got an enormous kick out of hearing one of the main organizers note that in Cambridge the disproportionate emphasis on "trees, bikes, and noise pollution" comes from a place of privilege (and this received a huge cheer). Now I don’t buy into all this confession-based privilege BS, but I think the implicit point was that these niceties may actually come at the expense of other things such as economic empowerment and creating pathways for people to move from poverty and government assistance toward economic security and having a personal stake in their city of birth (or choice). That’s a lot different than acting out of noblesse oblige.
I’ll simply note that we have appointed committees such as the "Climate Action Task Force", a "Climate Protection Action Committee", the "Leaf Blower Use Review Group", the "Advisory Committee on Climate Resiliency Zoning", various arts-related boards and commissions, numerous neighborhood conservation district commissions, a Bicycle Committee, a Pedestrian Committee, a Transit Advisory Board, a "Future of Mobility Implementation Blueprint Technical Advisory Group", various other advisory committees (including some on which I have served and continue to serve), a Women’s Commission, an "LGBTQ+ Commission", a "Harvard Square Kiosk Working Group", a "Public Planting Committee", a "Vision Zero Advisory Committee", and then some. These are all wonderful, but where is the "Jobs for Cambridge Youth Commission?" How about simply a "Recreational Opportunities for Young People Advisory Committee?" I do realize that there are nonprofits who actually do promote such things, but I wonder how this whole array of citizen initiatives on various environmental, transportation, and quality of life matters resonates with a kid growing up in Cambridge who is just looking for some hope and opportunity or simply something to do. I often think that what we really ought to be doing is letting local entrepreneurs run wild with their ideas and reward them handsomely for matching jobs to local people who want those jobs. I also think that making ground-level retail space at cost should be mandatory in any new mixed use building. Where are the apprenticeships for electricians and plumbers and carpenters? It’s not like Cambridge people aren’t doing work on their gazillion dollar houses and condos.
Getting back to the City Council orders, I really see them primarily as political theatrics, and my perception of our elected councillors as bleating sheep grows by the week.
Order #3. 100% Affordable Housing Overlay Zoning Petition 2020. Councillor McGovern, Councillor Simmons, Councillor Sobrinho-Wheeler, Councillor Toomey
I frequently find myself applying Occam’s Razor when trying to understand things in mathematics, in physics, and also in public policy. This latest submission of the so-called "Affordable Housing Overlay" probably establishes a new municipal record for overly prescriptive and convoluted policy. The driving principle continues to be the transfer of as much private property to public and quasi-public ownership with the Housing Division within the Community Development Department as landlord/gatekeeper. This comes at a time when we are likely to see significant shifts in housing demand and property valuation due to the pandemic. Rather than see how the rental and real estate markets might shift in response, this Council understands only command and control. I’ll have a lot more to say about this misguided policy and its backers as it snakes its way through the weeds.
OK, that’s enough for this week. – Robert Winters
PS – The June 8 meeting was all Public Comment and was recessed. The meeting will reconvene on Wed, June 10 at 5:30pm w/o any additional public comment. The agenda has been augmented with several additional items.
As The World Burns, the City Council is now meeting to premier their new Zoom shows and characters – Councillor Nolan will host "Science Says" while Councillor Zondervan continues to perfect his "Mumbles" character while the City Clerk repeatedly asks, "What was that you said, Councillor?" There will also be a prolonged discussion on the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars.
As for the agenda items to be acted out by these memorable characters and others, there are these special scenes:
Manager’s Agenda #1. A communication transmitted from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, relative to an update on COVID-19.
Manager’s Agenda #5. Transmitting Communication from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, relative to the appropriation of $677,300 from Free Cash, to the General Fund Finance Department Other Ordinary Maintenance Account ($125,000); to the General Fund Fire Department Other Ordinary Maintenance Account ($125,000); to the General Fund Police Department Other Ordinary Maintenance Account ($208,300); General Fund Executive Department Other Ordinary Maintenance Account ($200,000) and to the General Fund Emergency Communications Department Other Ordinary Maintenance Account ($19,000) which will cover projected costs of materials and supplies related to the COVID-19 crisis for City departments through the end of the fiscal year. Funds will be used to purchase masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, cleaning materials and spray sanitizer, as well as communication costs.
Manager’s Agenda #6. Transmitting Communication from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, relative to the appropriation of $60,000 from Free Cash to the General Fund Human Service Programs Other Ordinary Maintenance account for continued support of Homeless Shelter / Local Restaurant Community meals program through the end of the fiscal year.
Manager’s Agenda #7. Transmitting Communication from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, relative to the appropriation of $2,175,000, from Free Cash, to the General Fund Public Works Other Ordinary Maintenance Account ($944,000); to the General Fund Human Services Department Other Ordinary Maintenance Account ($770,000); to the General Fund Police Department Other Ordinary Maintenance Account ($245,000); and to the General Fund Finance Department Other Ordinary Maintenance Account ($216,000); to cover costs associated with the War Memorial Temporary Emergency Shelter at 1640 Cambridge Street.
Manager’s Agenda #8. Transmitting Communication from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, relative to the appropriation of appropriation of $150,000 from Free Cash to the General Fund Finance Department Other Ordinary Maintenance Account, for COVID-19 testing kits.
Most of these agenda items involving expenditures were signaled at last week’s first Budget hearing. Good thing we kept that Free Cash piggy-bank intact rather than raid it to exhaustion for pet projects. It was never just about keeping a AAA bond rating. The Budget Hearings continue this week.
Communication #9. A communication was received from Saul Tannenbaum, 16 Cottage Street, regarding correcting the record on Municipal Broadband costs.
This communication provides a preliminary version of a feasibility study of municipal broadband that has already been done (true), and the City Manager indicated at the Budget Hearing that the City’s consultant has plenty more information to provide at a future committee hearing (if they ever get around to holding such a meeting). The manager’s off-the-cuff remark was that he didn’t want to commit to "a million dollar study for a billion dollar program." I definitely want to hear more because the last thing I’ll do is accept the supposed expertise of these councillors. If the City Administration believes that an acceptable level of Internet access is available via other means, I would like to hear about that. Above all, if a credible argument can be made that a City investment in municipal broadband will put the City at great financial risk, I would like to hear about it and better understand why this might be the case. Elected officials like to score points on how much they can spend, but city managers earn their keep by finding ways to spend what is necessary to efficiently deliver services – or at least that’s how it’s supposed to work.
Order #3. Governor Baker’s Emergency Order on March 25, 2020 included a ban on reusable bags and lifted all municipal bans and fees on plastic bags. Councillor Nolan, Councillor Zondervan
I hope that reusable bags will again be permitted but that fees on plastic bags will not be imposed until the coast really is clear.
Communications & Reports #1. A communication was received from Mayor Siddiqui, transmitting information from the School Committee’s Regular Meeting and Subcommittee meetings.
I appreciate these reports but I remain very concerned that public education is not being equitably distributed in this virtual environment and that it will remain very difficult to correct this regardless what steps are taken.
PS – I haven’t felt this nervous about the state of my country since 1968. I have yet to see anyone emerge as the kind of leader who can rally people toward peace and justice rather than vengeance and defense. Maybe if Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama all did a joint message that might be a start, but there are many people acting out right now on both extremes of the political spectrum who would likely be unmoved. Anarchy and Twitter stardom apparently remain more attractive to some characters than civilization. – Robert Winters
Episode 464 – Cambridge InsideOut: May 26, 2020 – Carefully Venturing Outside from Inside
This episode was broadcast on May 26, 2020 at 6:30pm. Topics: The Empty City; Riverbend Park and the closing of streets here and elsewhere; Impasse on Municipal Broadband; Catching Up with the City Council; FY2021 Budget. Hosts: Judy Nathans, Robert Winters [On YouTube] [audio]
Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui and City Manager Louis A. DePasquale joined members of the Veterans Services Department, Cambridge Police and Cambridge Fire to place flags at the graves of our fallen in the Veterans section of the Cambridge Cemetery. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s Memorial Day observances will feature several virtual events and remembrances.
“Memorial Day is a time to remember the brave men and women who gave their life for our country and to honor them for paying the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom, our country, and our Cambridge,” said City Manager Louis A. DePasquale. “I ask that our residents, on Memorial Day this year, find time in their day to conduct a moment of silence and remembrance for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country.”
During the evenings over the Memorial Day Weekend, Cambridge City Hall will be lit up gold and decorated with wreaths bearing the message, “Cambridge Remembers Our Fallen.” The gold lighting on City Hall honors the Gold Star Families of our City and the Commonwealth, and also honors all Cambridge veterans lost in service and to COVID-19. Additionally, a pre-recorded Memorial Day observance will air on Monday, May 25, at 10:00am and 8:00pm, on the Municipal Cable Television Channel, 22-CityView. The observance will also be available online at Cambridgema.gov/Covid19.
“Lighting up City Hall gold, having city staff place flags on the graves of fallen heroes, and placing special wreaths on the City Hall lawn are ways for all of us as a community to remember those who have lost their lives in service to our country, and also to the families who have lost a loved one to COVID-19,” said Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui.

The boys and girls will again have a virtual shindig this week in and out of the Sullivan Chamber. I’m still counting on an innovative Kendall Square startup to develop special glasses that can filter out the glare of virtue signaling, but until then there’s this:
Manager’s Agenda #2. Transmitting Communication from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, relative to the appropriation of $500,000 from the Massachusetts. Department of Environmental Protection to the Grant Fund Public Works Department Extraordinary Expenditures Account which will be supplemented with $379,000 in City funds to purchase three plug-in hybrid rubbish packers that will replace three diesel powered rubbish packers.
“And we was fined $50 and had to pick up the garbage…..” – Stockbridge, MA
Manager’s Agenda #3. Transmitting Communication from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, requesting the appropriation and authorization to borrow $6,500,000 to provide funds for the design and construction of various water pollution abatement projects, including but not limited to Sewer Capital Repairs Program and climate change preparedness efforts.
Manager’s Agenda #4. Transmitting Communication from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, requesting the appropriation and authorization to borrow $5,000,000 to provide funds for the reconstruction of various City streets and sidewalks.
Manager’s Agenda #5. Transmitting Communication from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, requesting the appropriation and authorization to borrow $16,000,000 to provide funds for the Municipal Facilities Improvement Plan which will support improvements at the Department of Public works Complex including the Ryan Garage, Lafayette Square Firehouse structural repair, and other municipal buildings.
Manager’s Agenda #6. Transmitting Communication from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, requesting the appropriation and authorization to borrow $9,000,000 to provide funds for the construction of improvements of the Lexington Avenue and River Street Firehouses.
Manager’s Agenda #7. Transmitting Communication from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, requesting the appropriation and authorization to borrow $237,000,000 to provide funds for the design and construction of the Tobin Montessori and Vassal Lane Upper School.
Manager’s Agenda #8. Transmitting Communication from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, requesting the appropriation and authorization to borrow $1,800,000 to provide funds for various Schools for repairs to electrical service, roof replacement, chiller replacement, floor replacement and replacement of bi-directional amplifier and antenna in various school buildings.
These are the annual Loan Authorization orders that accompany the budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Note the big fish in there – $237 million to borrow for the design and construction of the Tobin Montessori and Vassal Lane Upper School. Last year’s loan authorizations totaled $74.3 million and $88.15 million the year before that. I suppose we’ll be seeing a tidy little jump in debt service next year even with our AAA bond rating. I hope one of the city councillors at least asks what the projections for residential real estate taxes might be for the next cycle. It’s not like other budgets are being slashed. Once again, here’s a chart showing the one-year and two-year changes to department budgets as well as the 16-year changes.
Manager’s Agenda #9. A communication transmitted from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, relative to an update on COVID-19.
Expect more grandstanding from the usual suspects as soon as the City staff have completed their reports. There’s nothing like a good crisis to practice your political speech-making. Frankly, I just want to hear what the Cambridge response might be to Governor Baker’s cautious "phase one re-opening plan." I expect some councillors will continue to harp on street closures as the One Big Answer to All Things.
Charter Right #1. That the City Manager be and hereby is requested to work with the Police Department to provide information to the City Council about social media protocols and what disciplinary action has been taken as result of the Department’s social media use incident.
I really wish some councillors understood the City Charter and actually listened last week to what the City Solicitor (correctly) had to say. The last thing we need are politically driven councillors micromanaging City employees. By the way, if a City Council aide calls for the firing of a City employee, is that a violation of Chapter 43, Section 107?: “Except for the purpose of inquiry, the city council and its members shall deal with that portion of the service of the city as aforesaid solely through the city manager, and neither the city council nor any member thereof shall give orders to any subordinate of the city manager either publicly or privately. Any member of the city council who violates, or participates in the violation of, any provision of this section shall be punished by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars or by imprisonment for not more than six months, or both, and upon final conviction thereof his office in the city council shall thereby be vacated and he shall never again be eligible for any office or position, elective or otherwise, in the service of the city.”
Order #2. Creating an Arts Recovery Advisory Committee. Vice Mayor Mallon, Mayor Siddiqui, Councillor Nolan, Councillor McGovern
Order #3. That the City Council go on record in strong support of Bill HD. 5054 relative to restaurant delivery commissions during the COVID-19 state of emergency. Councillor Nolan, Mayor Siddiqui, Vice Mayor Mallon, Councillor McGovern
Order #4. That the City Manager is requested to provide an immediate update to the Council on the digital equity research initiative and advisory board, and on efforts to ensure reliable access to the Internet citywide. Councillor Nolan, Vice Mayor Mallon, Councillor Simmons, Councillor Zondervan
Regardless how one feels about municipal broadband, I think we do need some answers about how some version of universal Internet access can be achieved if only for the purpose of educational access in a school year conducted via Zoom and similar platforms.
Order #5. That the City Manager is requested to confer with the Election Commission and Board of Election Commissioners to determine the feasibility of universal vote-by-mail for the City of Cambridge. Councillor Nolan, Mayor Siddiqui, Vice Mayor Mallon, Councillor Carlone
I’ll take this one. If you boys and girls were paying attention when there was the previous debate about "early voting" for municipal elections, it was explained to you at that time that such authority lies with the State and not with the City – hence the Home Rule Petition that is now collecting dust in the foyer of the State House and which is dutifully included in every City Council agenda packet by our City Clerk. The City cannot simply enact universal vote-by-mail via a Council vote or by a vote of the Election Commission. That authority resides with State government – and I expect that universal vote-by-mail may well be forthcoming from our glacial legislature. That said, if they were to simply permit "no excuse absentee voting" which everyone seems to understand is both feasible and politically acceptable, that would likely address most of the concerns about safety in voting. Time’s a wastin’, legislators.
Order #6. That the City Manager is requested to amend the Cambridge emergency advisory on face coverings/masks to require face coverings be worn inside common areas of multi-unit buildings with the exception of 2-and 3- family buildings and in all workplaces where more than one person is present at all times. Councillor Nolan, Councillor McGovern
Good idea. Even in my triple-decker, the tenants and I maintain social distancing in a way that might make you think we don’t get along. (We do.)
Order #7. That the City Manager be and hereby is requested to develop and present to the City Council a comprehensive strategy for how we are going to reopen the city. Councillor Zondervan, Councillor Sobrinho-Wheeler
By "present to the City Council a comprehensive strategy", the authors of the Order no doubt mean "present to the City Council a plan to carry out the specific strategies that we hereby propose". This seems to be a recurring theme of these councillors.
Order #9. That Chapter 2.108 be amended by inserting a new section 2.108.140. Councillor Zondervan, Councillor Sobrinho-Wheeler
Some of you may recognize this as just a reformulation of the eminent-domain-like proposals from these same socialist councillors from a few weeks ago. When nobody salutes your flag, just sew the threads into another flag. There are better ways to handle an emergency than confiscating whatever property suits you.
Communications & Reports #1. A communication was received from Mayor Siddiqui, communicating information from the School Committee’s Special Meetings held on May 7, 2020.
Are we actually still providing public education in Cambridge or are school staff just lending a few suggestions to those students who are now being effectively home-schooled by their parents – while a lot of other students are enjoying an early summer vacation?
Episode 463 – Cambridge InsideOut: May 12, 2020 – Still Inside more than Outside
This episode was broadcast on May 12, 2020 at 6:30pm. Topics: The Empty City; closing of streets; mandatory face masks and social distancing; Coronagendas; carefully restarting construction; Catching Up with the City Council; FY2021 Budget; To Tweet or Not to Tweet – Councillors and the City Charter; access to recycling. Hosts: Judy Nathans, Robert Winters [On YouTube] [audio]
Here’s my take on this week’s agenda:
Manager’s Agenda #1. A communication transmitted from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, relative to an update on COVID-19.
Manager’s Agenda #2. Transmitting Communication from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, relative to the FY2021 submitted budget appropriation orders.
I like to track how the budgets of the various City departments change from year to year and in the long term. Here’s a chart showing the one-year and two-year changes as well as the 16-year changes.
The big jumps upward this year are for Public Celebrations (up 31.8% in one year and 45.7% for two years), Public Investment (up 38% in one year and 114% for two years), and the Library (up 26.3% and 38.9%). Curiously, Employee Benefits dropped 16.4% from the FY20 Budget, but the change from the Adopted Budget or actual expenditures could possibly be different.
I am trying to read between the lines about how the Covid-19 pandemic will express itself in the FY21 Budget, but perhaps those effects may primarily be felt in terms of a long string of supplemental expenditures and dipping into "free cash".
The City Council apparently continues to treat itself with its political appointees (a.k.a. aides) with an 11% one-year jump. The City Manager’s Office (Executive) also increased its budget by nearly 13% in one year and 24.4% over two years. The overall FY21 Proposed Budget is 5.5% more than last year’s Proposed Budget.
Charter Right #1. That the City Manager be and is hereby requested to review the order and align it with guidelines promulgated by the CDC, WHO, Dr. Fauci, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to make clear face coverings are required in public settings only when physical distancing is not possible. [CHARTER RIGHT EXERCISED IN COUNCIL MAY 4, 2020]
Everyone has opinions. Everyone has agendas. Some people say they have God on their side. Others claim they have Science on their side or that Climate Change is their Righteous Cause and that everyone should comply with their agenda or else. Everyone has opinions, and bullshit is currency in Cambridge. The streets and sidewalks are not crowded – not even Memorial Drive, so they vote to close down streets to curry favor with their preferred constituents. Walking, coughing, maskless disease vectors congregate on benches and in doorways in Central Square, but the City Council will debate for hours whether it’s OK for someone to doff their mask in the park without penalty. I am often reminded of the secret of performing magic – distraction.
Order #1. That the City Manager be and hereby is requested to order the Department of Public Works and any other relevant departments to consider implementing Simple Recycling’s curbside textile recycling program and report back to the Council on this matter in a timely manner. Councillor Toomey
Order #3. That the City Manager be and hereby is requested to work with the Department of Public Works and any other relevant City departments to reopen the Recycling Center for a limited time and to place recycling bins strategically across the City for residents who are unable to access the Recycling Center to allow for residents to recycle plastic items such as bags. Councillor Toomey
One thing I have known for 30 years is that Councillor Toomey has been one of the most stalwart supporters of recycling in Cambridge, so it’s no surprise that these Orders are coming from Councillor Toomey. Regarding the Recycling Center, many of us are clearing out and organizing our living spaces while staying at home, and it sure would be great if we could recycle some of our scrap metal and more. I have a defunct old TV taking up space that won’t be picked up with the rubbish and the City has suspended all other alternatives. We have brought tons of stuff to various Red Cross donation bins and elsewhere, but there’s a lot more where that came from. Remember the old "Bring Your Own Bag Ordinance?" Well, they won’t even let you in the store with that now and you will likely exit with a bunch more plastic bags, and it might be good if there was a place to lose them.
Order #2. That the City Manager report to the Council with an update on recommendations being discussed by the Small Business Advisory Group so the Council may be prepared for quick action on items that may properly come before the body. Councillor Nolan, Councillor Carlone, Vice Mayor Mallon, Councillor Sobrinho-Wheeler
I have no doubt that this will soon become one of the hottest topics at City Council meetings.
Order #4. That the City Manager be and hereby is requested to work with the Police Department to provide information to the City Council about social media protocols and what disciplinary action has been taken as result of the Department’s social media use incident. Councillor Sobrinho-Wheeler, Councillor Zondervan, Councillor Carlone
The "Shoe On The Other Foot Test" should be applied here. Imagine that someone in the Police Department inadvertently used the wrong account to tweet something like “More insane crap from that f— (expletive redacted) Orange Menace in the White House. Sad for us.” Do you think there would even be a story let alone demands for disciplinary action? By the way, the person who erred here has been one of the most solid, courteous, and well-respected members of the Police Department for a very long time, and most of the present and former city councillors know it. I will be interested to see which councillors want to throw him under the bus for not complying with Cambridge political orthodoxy.
Order #5. That the City Council go on record in solidarity with all Lesley University workers and in support of the demands of the community petition. Councillor Zondervan, Councillor Carlone, Mayor Siddiqui, Councillor Sobrinho-Wheeler
I am in general agreement with all of the intentions of this Order, but I would like to inform those who don’t understand the concept of infinity that not even our local elite universities have infinite financial resources. Even Harvard and MIT are having to make some difficult choices. – Robert Winters
