MOTIONS, ORDERS AND RESOLUTIONS

14. VACON — the two dead (almost) trees at Ashley & Sunset be removed before they fall (if on city property).

15. VACON — that the petition sent to Ordinance on June 6th be transferred to DGR as a meeting/public hearings will be taking place on July 12th so the petition can be taken up earlier.
Petition of Andre Gamble for a special permit for a third floor dwelling (7.2.9) at 39-41 Portland St.

16. VACON — that our city engineer evaluate the area at Sullivan School for the addition of a crosswalk. This is a constituent request.

17. VACON — that a stop sign be placed at the corner of Maginnis Ave and Apremont Hwy.

18. BARTLEY — The DPW install signage proximate to 33 Edbert Dr alerting motorists of an Autistic person in the area. Receive, adopt,  refer to the DPW.

19. JOURDAIN — Ordered, that the DPW fix the raised sidewalk on West Franklin Street near Sycamore Street.  Going in both directions the raised sidewalk needs to be more effectively repaved and highlighted for drivers so they slow down but does not cause excessive banging especially by heavy trucks going over them that are causing very disturbing sounds for the surrounding neighbors.  After installation, the road had to be dug out for water or sewer and that has contributed to the problem.

20. JOURDAIN, PUELLO — DPW install a crosswalk on Cabot Street at South Summer Street on the Westerly corner in front of Capri Pizza so people can safely walk across the street in this heavy traffic area.  There are no nearby crosswalks.  Ideally this would be a raised sidewalk with appropriate signage but at a minimum a crosswalk with appropriate signage including in the median.

21. JOURDAIN, PUELLO — DPW repaint the crosswalk at Clemente Street and Cabot Street.

22. JOURDAIN, PUELLO — DPW Parks Division replace the 3 park tables/chairs that were removed from Valley Arena Park.  That they also remove the large tree branch resting on the basketball court.

23. JOURDAIN, PUELLO — DPW Forestry Division trim the following trees in South Holyoke that are out of control or dangerous or touching peoples’ homes: 1) tree between 21-23 Hamilton Street; 2) tree between 531-533 South Summer Street;  3) tree next to 527 South Summer Street; 4) trees near 6 and 7 Adams Street.

24. JOURDAIN, PUELLO — Building and Codes & Board of Health send notice to the owner of record of large lot (PARCEL ID 029-08-006) located at 569 South Bridge Street to properly mow their grass which is many feet high, remove all trash and debris (as large as a car bumper) all the way out to the sidewalk and street.  In the absence of an immediate clean-up and bringing this to code, owner should be immediately fined and/or city should clean up and lien the property owner.  It is in outrageous condition and there are no excuses for this.  Please note City of Holyoke owns the lot next door at Parcel ID 029-08-007 and it is equally as bad a condition and city should immediately go over there and clean that up and mow.

25. JOURDAIN, PUELLO — DPW Parks Division please place signage in parks in South Holyoke that people need to pick up after their animals or making them aware of our fines for failing to do so.

26. JOURDAIN, PUELLO —   DPW repair with patching the sidewalks in front of 582 and 586 South Summer Street for safety of residents.

27. JOURDAIN, PUELLO — Mayor and Building Dept/Board of Health/Law Dept please provide the City Council with a status report on the demolition and resolution of the dangerous abandoned building at 27-29 Cabot Street and 510 South Bridge Street (Parcel ID 031-01-014 owned by Next Realty Inc. with Corporate President of Shakeel Ahmed Butt of 10 Patriot Parkway in Weymouth, MA).  Fencing is no longer safely enclosing the property and it has a dangerous debris field and is an attractive nuisance for children. According to my records, there was a fire there in September 2021 and another fire in April 2022.  It has been vacant from even before these fires.  Please report if the owner is paying the vacant building fee and when this building is going to be demolished since it seems inconceivable that it will be restored.  This has gone on for too long and is a danger to residents.

28. JOURDAIN, VACON — That the Auditor and if needed relevant dept heads and Mayor please review the Free Cash certification with the Finance Committee and City Council.

29. MALDONADO-VELEZ, ANDERSON-BURGOS — that the City Council adopt a Resolution of strong support and solidarity for the LGBTQIA+ community. Members of the LGBTQIA+ community — especially people of color and trans people — continue to face discrimination and cruel, persistent efforts to undermine their human rights.  An onslaught of dangerous anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation has been introduced and passed in States across the country, targeting transgender children and their parents and interfering with their access to health care.  As Councilors, we are elected to represent all of our residents, and that includes those within the LGBTQIA+ community. We believe everyone should be able to live without fear of prejudice, discrimination, violence, and hatred based on race, religion, gender identity, and sexual orientations. We believe this Resolution of strong support and solidarity also reflects the strong support shared by the vast majority of our residents.

30. MALDONADO-VELEZ — that we create an ordinance that if the owner of a rental property does not live in Holyoke, they are required to hire a local property management company that is accessible to our residents. There have been too many issues with rental property regarding rodents, water, and electrical problems where residents have been unable to get in contact with the owner in order to remedy the situation.

31. MALDONADO-VELEZ — that if someone is putting in an RFP through the city for a property that is up for sale and the applicant has outstanding issues with the Board of Health, Building Department, or any other city department having to do with other properties they own, that they are not eligible to win the bid for the RFP.

32. MALDONADO-VELEZ — that a communication is sent to the Council as to when the rubbish at 27 Cabot Street will be cleaned up.

33. MALDONADO-VELEZ, RIVERA_J — ORDER that Sec 38-73 (6) of our ordinances be amended for the hours to read 10pm instead of 11pm and 8am instead of 7am.

34. MCGEE — Order that the joint committee of school and council invite in the receiver to discuss and provide information on the Financial literacy program for both high school campuses.
