Cambridge Day reports on the proposed changes to the Council’s rules and on the committee assignments for the 2016-17 term. I was on the ad-hoc committee that drafted the new rules, which include broadcasting Roundtable hearings. I am pleased to have been named chair of two committees: Health & Environment and Economic Development & University Relations and to sit on four others: Housing, Human Services & Veterans, Civic Unity, Neighborhood & Long Term Planning, Facilities, Arts & Celebrations. All nine councillors are members of the Ordinance and Finance Committees.
The proposed rule changes will be discussed and voted upon at our February 8th meeting. Public comment is welcome in writing or at the meeting. Call 617-349-4280 on Monday morning to sign up to speak, or arrive between 5:30 and 6:00 pm and sign in.
