Derek Dobis, 70 Post Road. 207 00:13:06,568 --> 00:13:09,228 It's been about two weeks since the Chicopee Conservation Commission 208 00:13:10,028 --> 00:13:13,468 approved a notice of intent for our municipal airport, 209 00:13:13,668 --> 00:13:16,388 WMDC, to build an 8,000-foot fence 210 00:13:17,308 --> 00:13:19,788 around the Slate Conservation area. 211 00:13:20,568 --> 00:13:23,748 There's no good reason for the fence in my purview. 212 00:13:23,788 --> 00:13:26,548 There's been no lawsuits that they've disclosed. 213 00:13:26,988 --> 00:13:28,728 They say they have no plans for development. 214 00:13:31,188 --> 00:13:33,088 And there's really been no dialogue. 215 00:13:33,268 --> 00:13:37,148 I first heard of this issue back when I was on the city council in December 216 00:13:37,188 --> 00:13:40,848 of 2020. So we're approaching six years 217 00:13:41,248 --> 00:13:45,148 on the Slate Conservation area issue, and there's 218 00:13:45,188 --> 00:13:48,848 just been no dialogue from the WMDC board 219 00:13:48,908 --> 00:13:52,848 members. We have three WMDC board members 220 00:13:52,858 --> 00:13:56,468 from Chicopee. We have Marie LaFlamme, we have Ed 221 00:13:56,608 --> 00:14:00,188 Cepiel, and we have a Shubek who lives close to 222 00:14:00,248 --> 00:14:04,128 me. And they really haven't been willing to meet with 223 00:14:04,188 --> 00:14:06,028 any of the neighbors, any of the abutters. 224 00:14:06,768 --> 00:14:10,748 Now, I understand that some residents, including myself, our position is 225 00:14:10,808 --> 00:14:12,888 that the land is conservation land. 226 00:14:12,908 --> 00:14:16,488 It should be placed into conservation, and I understand the airport board, their 227 00:14:16,528 --> 00:14:19,148 position is that the whole thing should be developed for business. 228 00:14:20,148 --> 00:14:23,688 But that doesn't mean that there can't be dialogue, that there can't be 229 00:14:23,728 --> 00:14:27,548 negotiation. I know my councilor, Councilor Shumsky, is working very hard to try to 230 00:14:27,588 --> 00:14:29,468 talk to both sides. I support that. 231 00:14:30,208 --> 00:14:34,188 And so I'm just asking the airport officials to talk to the abutters, talk to 232 00:14:34,208 --> 00:14:37,308 the neighbors. Let them know what you want to do with the property. 233 00:14:38,208 --> 00:14:42,068 If a deal can't be reached, so be it, but there should 234 00:14:42,168 --> 00:14:43,248 be dialogue. 235 00:14:44,088 --> 00:14:47,848 I believe the WMDC board members are making themselves look 236 00:14:47,988 --> 00:14:51,268 guilty of something by refusing to talk to the neighbors. 237 00:14:51,588 --> 00:14:52,708 There's no reason 238 00:14:53,828 --> 00:14:55,128 why they can't talk to the neighbors. 239 00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:58,528 Originally in 2021, if the council didn't block it, it was going to be a 240 00:14:58,788 --> 00:15:00,848 1.2 million square foot building. 241 00:15:00,898 --> 00:15:03,268 This has to be the largest development in Chicopee. 242 00:15:03,788 --> 00:15:07,168 And they weren't going to talk to the public at all. 243 00:15:07,348 --> 00:15:10,808 They definitely weren't willing to talk to the council. So I think that's wrong. 244 00:15:11,268 --> 00:15:14,148 There should be dialogue. These board members should be willing to talk to the city 245 00:15:14,188 --> 00:15:16,508 council. They should be willing to talk to the public. 246 00:15:16,568 --> 00:15:20,308 And so I came tonight to ask for dialogue. Please talk to the neighbors. 247 00:15:20,548 --> 00:15:22,728 Please talk to the city council. Thank you. 248 00:15:22,808 --> 00:15:25,368 Thank you. Is there anyone else for public input? 249 00:15:33,988 --> 00:15:36,208 Sue Nimcheck, James Street 362. 250 00:15:37,228 --> 00:15:38,768 It's lovely seeing you here, Derek. 251 00:15:39,488 --> 00:15:42,638 My ears and antenna are way up. I will be following what 252 00:15:42,748 --> 00:15:46,128 happens, okay? Because communication is everything. 253 00:15:46,808 --> 00:15:50,648 And I find silence is deafening, whether it's in planning 254 00:15:51,028 --> 00:15:54,188 or anything physically going to happen to 255 00:15:54,268 --> 00:15:58,228 infrastructure or transportation roads or neighborhoods or streets or 256 00:15:58,308 --> 00:16:00,448 anything, has a lasting impact. 257 00:16:01,648 --> 00:16:04,988 And if there's no communication everywhere, you're spot on, 258 00:16:06,148 --> 00:16:09,948 especially amongst councilors that you serve on various zoning 259 00:16:09,988 --> 00:16:12,338 committees, et cetera, and different types of committees. 260 00:16:13,308 --> 00:16:17,217 And where does the public fit in all of this when we come to do 261 00:16:17,217 --> 00:16:21,068 a three-minute input? I call it insight, because 262 00:16:21,128 --> 00:16:22,978 again, 24/7, 263 00:16:23,948 --> 00:16:26,588 the public usually knows what's happening in an area. 264 00:16:26,678 --> 00:16:30,468 And if a councilor doesn't understand that, they're really missing out, and so 265 00:16:30,528 --> 00:16:34,368 does the public. And we have an astute young member who's 266 00:16:34,708 --> 00:16:36,948 newly inquiring about everything out there. 267 00:16:37,347 --> 00:16:40,568 We have a core of integrity with High Five Joe. 268 00:16:41,368 --> 00:16:44,928 We have, wherever she is today, maybe up in Zoom, a Jessica 269 00:16:45,068 --> 00:16:45,488 Avery. 270 00:16:46,548 --> 00:16:46,868 Okay. 271 00:16:47,688 --> 00:16:48,868 And we have potential, 272 00:16:50,288 --> 00:16:53,528 and sometimes I think it scares committees or the 273 00:16:53,608 --> 00:16:57,368 council or maybe the mayor's office, okay, 274 00:16:57,448 --> 00:17:01,408 simply because maybe it's not part of the agenda or what I call 275 00:17:01,448 --> 00:17:05,248 the push. And when there's silence and not everything is 276 00:17:05,268 --> 00:17:08,108 known, what's the level of understanding? 277 00:17:08,148 --> 00:17:11,939 Not knowing much or little to nothing at all is really, really dangerous because 278 00:17:11,969 --> 00:17:15,328 the impact is forever. Level of questions, 279 00:17:16,128 --> 00:17:18,548 not many, if any, questions, if none at all. 280 00:17:19,189 --> 00:17:20,248 And my SOS, 281 00:17:21,368 --> 00:17:22,358 sometime, one time, 282 00:17:23,548 --> 00:17:24,189 single time. 283 00:17:25,429 --> 00:17:28,988 No inquiries all the time. And if you have that capability on 284 00:17:29,028 --> 00:17:32,648 everything, guess what? You do it all the time because this is not a job. 285 00:17:33,448 --> 00:17:34,308 This is a duty 286 00:17:35,228 --> 00:17:39,188 to service, to represent. Because when people leave 287 00:17:39,228 --> 00:17:43,198 the podium in committee meetings or planning board meetings or whatever, I look at 288 00:17:43,228 --> 00:17:45,648 their faces, they are freaking shocked. 289 00:17:46,508 --> 00:17:50,468 How can they cram in three minutes of their lifetime of a particular area or 290 00:17:50,528 --> 00:17:54,388 neighborhood and it's going to be changed and nothing they say 291 00:17:54,428 --> 00:17:58,248 is considered? Or I've met heads of departments and they go to meetings 292 00:17:58,688 --> 00:18:01,788 and it's totally discounted or not even recognized. 293 00:18:02,688 --> 00:18:03,928 There's your expertise. 294 00:18:05,138 --> 00:18:08,958 So at which point, you know that saying I made, not a spade or a shovel goes into 295 00:18:08,968 --> 00:18:12,688 the ground before until everything is known? 296 00:18:12,698 --> 00:18:15,828 That's not only a physical aspect, but it's also the process. 297 00:18:15,888 --> 00:18:19,688 And I know the quarterly tax thing was passed and everything. 298 00:18:19,748 --> 00:18:23,088 And that meeting back in October was a freaking fiasco 299 00:18:26,698 --> 00:18:30,108 And only afterwards did I realize relationships and everything and what was the 300 00:18:30,318 --> 00:18:32,938 push. And I'll count down for you, Frank. 301 00:18:33,278 --> 00:18:33,518 Thank you. 302 00:18:33,538 --> 00:18:33,718 Okay. 303 00:18:33,738 --> 00:18:34,168 Three, two, one. 304 00:18:34,198 --> 00:18:35,938 Three, two, one, Frank. Thank you. 305 00:18:36,418 --> 00:18:37,998 Is there anyone else here for public 306 00:18:38,058 --> 00:18:40,698 input? 307 00:18:45,998 --> 00:18:49,618 My name is Anne Lutrovitz. I live at 134 Mountain View 308 00:18:49,778 --> 00:18:50,058 Street. 309 00:18:51,038 --> 00:18:54,838 And we're here tonight on behalf of more than 100 families to 310 00:18:54,918 --> 00:18:58,378 ask you to protect public safety by 311 00:18:58,418 --> 00:19:02,318 requiring comprehensive traffic, pedestrian safety, 312 00:19:02,798 --> 00:19:06,468 emergency access, infrastructure, and environmental 313 00:19:06,558 --> 00:19:10,498 studies before the proposed 23-home subdivision 314 00:19:10,578 --> 00:19:14,318 on a portion of 340 Pendleton Avenue 315 00:19:14,978 --> 00:19:16,838 and Mountain View is allowed to proceed. 316 00:19:17,378 --> 00:19:21,298 We also represent the many residents who have attended planning meetings and 317 00:19:21,418 --> 00:19:25,258 conservation committee meetings, submitted comments, 318 00:19:25,678 --> 00:19:29,238 signed petitions, and repeatedly spoken out against this 319 00:19:29,298 --> 00:19:32,878 development. The packets before you include our letter of 320 00:19:32,938 --> 00:19:36,818 opposition, a petition, project maps, a 321 00:19:36,898 --> 00:19:40,878 summary of our concerns, and our requests for studies that must 322 00:19:40,918 --> 00:19:44,058 be completed before this project proceeds any further. 323 00:19:44,558 --> 00:19:48,398 This is not a minor addition to an existing neighborhood. 324 00:19:48,798 --> 00:19:52,228 It's a project that would introduce 23 new homes and 325 00:19:52,318 --> 00:19:56,058 potentially more than 200 additional vehicle trips 326 00:19:56,198 --> 00:19:59,778 each day into a small residential area that already 327 00:19:59,838 --> 00:20:02,878 faces traffic and safety concerns. 328 00:20:02,918 --> 00:20:06,718 The subdivision would rely on a single access point, a 329 00:20:06,758 --> 00:20:10,618 paper road that would serve as both the entrance 330 00:20:10,818 --> 00:20:13,818 and the exit onto Mountain View Street. 331 00:20:13,898 --> 00:20:16,698 That one access point would carry residents, 332 00:20:17,258 --> 00:20:20,708 visitors, delivery vehicles, school transportation, 333 00:20:21,278 --> 00:20:24,258 service vehicles, and emergency responders. 334 00:20:24,638 --> 00:20:27,758 It would place a substantial new burden on a road and 335 00:20:27,818 --> 00:20:28,878 neighborhood that 336 00:20:29,818 --> 00:20:32,838 were not designed for this level of activity. 337 00:20:32,918 --> 00:20:36,898 We understand that the developer maintains that they have the right to 338 00:20:37,018 --> 00:20:40,898 move forward and that the applicable rules and regulations are 339 00:20:40,938 --> 00:20:44,778 being met. But technical compliance is not the end of the city's 340 00:20:44,798 --> 00:20:48,718 responsibility. Tonight, we are asking you to consider the 341 00:20:48,798 --> 00:20:52,538 real-world impact on people who already live in this 342 00:20:52,558 --> 00:20:56,318 neighborhood.

I agree. 1015 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:02,280 I think the golf course is an invaluable asset for the city of Chicopee. 1016 00:40:03,180 --> 00:40:06,560 I just want to be clear with folks, it's likely never going away. 1017 00:40:07,380 --> 00:40:11,100 We'd have to replicate that amount of land somewhere 1018 00:40:11,140 --> 00:40:15,080 within Ward 6. And Sam, if you've got some 1019 00:40:15,340 --> 00:40:18,180 that's about 55 acres, you let me know, because 1020 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:23,000 unless Slate Road's on the table, but I think we heard tonight that's probably not. 1021 00:40:24,350 --> 00:40:28,280 The golf course is a viable entity in the city of Chicopee. It earns money. 1022 00:40:28,380 --> 00:40:32,320 They do well. The one knock on the golf course that I think is always 1023 00:40:32,380 --> 00:40:36,280 a concern with residents and councilors is it's weather dependent, and that 1024 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:37,140 is very much true. 1025 00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:42,060 But this year, if you look and compared our municipality receipts to that of 1026 00:40:42,100 --> 00:40:45,920 Springfield, with one course, we are far and ahead of their both combined 1027 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,740 revenues. So it tells us, and it tells me, 1028 00:40:49,720 --> 00:40:53,380 that Chicopee Country Club is a place where people want to go play. 1029 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:57,240 You have three municipal golf courses within a 1030 00:40:57,300 --> 00:41:00,420 17 or 20-minute ride. People choose Chicopee. 1031 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,540 Not discounting all the folks who come from Worcester, the Cape, because it's such 1032 00:41:04,620 --> 00:41:04,660 a 1033 00:41:05,980 --> 00:41:08,840 equitably priced golf course and golf experience. 1034 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:09,060 So, 1035 00:41:10,460 --> 00:41:12,240 I think that they did a great job presenting. 1036 00:41:12,340 --> 00:41:12,770 I only 1037 00:41:13,779 --> 00:41:15,279 think that we're going to grow more and more. 1038 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,840 And it'd be a nice case study to see what the 1039 00:41:18,860 --> 00:41:22,820 ancillary revenue raised across all nonprofits over the course 1040 00:41:22,830 --> 00:41:26,760 of a fiscal year are. In talking to folks with the Boys and Girls Club and the 1041 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:27,720 Reigns, on average, 1042 00:41:28,740 --> 00:41:32,480 most nonprofits are in that $15,000 to $20,000 range 1043 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,720 of monies cleared from using the golf course to have a tournament there. 1044 00:41:36,780 --> 00:41:40,280 So, it has an immeasurable effect on the community in and of itself. 1045 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:41,340 So, thank you very much. 1046 00:41:42,940 --> 00:41:44,299 Councilor Balkier. 1047 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,810 Yeah.

And I'm in favor 1063 00:42:44,500 --> 00:42:48,280 of helping the golf course as much as we can.

The background check process in Massachusetts is 2519 01:22:40,244 --> 01:22:43,764 fairly difficult and somewhat convoluted. 2520 01:22:43,784 --> 01:22:47,564 But roughly 15 years ago, Deval Patrick had 2521 01:22:47,624 --> 01:22:49,904 revamped the CORI system so that 2522 01:22:50,844 --> 01:22:53,864 an employer could only consider, or an entity could only consider, 2523 01:22:54,844 --> 01:22:58,284 felonies that occurred within the last 10 years or 2524 01:22:58,304 --> 01:23:01,624 misdemeanors within the last five as disqualifiable offenses. 2525 01:23:02,104 --> 01:23:05,884 And I'll qualify that by saying that the CORI process has 2526 01:23:05,924 --> 01:23:09,534 three very distinct silos. There's A, which are acceptable 2527 01:23:10,664 --> 01:23:13,484 crimes committed, if any crime is really acceptable. 2528 01:23:13,524 --> 01:23:17,424 B, there's those that it leaves it to the discretion of the entity or 2529 01:23:17,504 --> 01:23:20,514 the employer. And then there are what is categorized as C, 2530 01:23:20,804 --> 01:23:24,624 non-starters. Those are things like sexual assault or 2531 01:23:24,664 --> 01:23:28,504 felony murder or some other horrific crime that would make anybody 2532 01:23:28,564 --> 01:23:31,144 ineligible to work in a public-facing role. 2533 01:23:32,484 --> 01:23:36,284 What's not clear, and Councilor Cuccine referenced it, what are we using 2534 01:23:36,364 --> 01:23:36,674 as that 2535 01:23:37,664 --> 01:23:41,344 marker point? Are we using the date of conviction? Date of release? 2536 01:23:41,744 --> 01:23:45,584 I just want some clarification so that we can publicize this so applicants 2537 01:23:45,604 --> 01:23:49,564 know that if they've turned their life around, there may be something kind 2538 01:23:49,584 --> 01:23:52,764 of still in the closet a little bit that could affect their ability to work with 2539 01:23:52,804 --> 01:23:56,484 the city in some capacity. So I'm hoping that this clears it all up, 2540 01:23:57,164 --> 01:24:00,664 gets everything standardized so that we don't have licenses that are being then 2541 01:24:00,704 --> 01:24:04,644 pulled back in because the CORI comes back bad a month after they've already 2542 01:24:04,664 --> 01:24:08,484 been in operation. I want to avoid that. That's not a great look for the city. 2543 01:24:09,324 --> 01:24:09,924 Mr. President? 2544 01:24:10,404 --> 01:24:10,564 Yep. 2545 01:24:11,244 --> 01:24:15,034 Is this item, through the chair to Councilor Brooks, is this 2546 01:24:15,124 --> 01:24:16,704 item related to number 42? 2547 01:24:17,184 --> 01:24:17,524 It is. 2548 01:24:18,144 --> 01:24:19,654 So should the item go to- 2549 01:24:19,654 --> 01:24:23,574 Well, it is and it isn't. This is more of an operational definition of what 2550 01:24:23,584 --> 01:24:24,823 the CORI process is. 2551 01:24:25,744 --> 01:24:29,464 We will memorialize the CORI process in item number 42 2552 01:24:29,624 --> 01:24:30,544 in ordinance. 2553 01:24:30,664 --> 01:24:31,124 Okay. 2554 01:24:31,164 --> 01:24:34,944 But this is more for an overview for those who don't deal with CORIs every day, 2555 01:24:35,724 --> 01:24:39,164 that these are the standards that the Commonwealth sets forth. 2556 01:24:39,244 --> 01:24:41,704 It's more of an informational meeting, because I don't think the general public 2557 01:24:41,744 --> 01:24:43,084 knows this information either. 2558 01:24:44,004 --> 01:24:47,364 So should it go to ordinance instead of rules? That's my point. 2559 01:24:47,424 --> 01:24:50,844 It's a rules discussion as far as I'm concerned because- 2560 01:24:50,884 --> 01:24:50,894 Okay 2561 01:24:50,894 --> 01:24:54,244 ... they're talking about the practices internal to the police department. 2562 01:24:54,304 --> 01:24:55,604 We're not creating an ordinance to 2563 01:24:56,524 --> 01:25:00,484 essentially manage what the police department does with respect to 2564 01:25:00,524 --> 01:25:04,394 CORIs and how they run them. We're asking to change the ordinance to say, "Hey, 2565 01:25:04,484 --> 01:25:08,324 let's run everybody before they receive a license." And this second 2566 01:25:08,404 --> 01:25:12,354 one is, "Okay, we're gonna explain to you what the process is." I thought it 2567 01:25:12,384 --> 01:25:15,804 was better suited in rules, but I'm amenable to have it go anywhere. 2568 01:25:15,884 --> 01:25:16,284 Well, if you're gonna 2569 01:25:17,340 --> 01:25:20,560 Again, Councillor Brooks, if you're going to talk about CORIs and 2570 01:25:21,300 --> 01:25:24,369 ordinance, maybe you do both of the same committee. That's my suggestion. 2571 01:25:24,369 --> 01:25:26,250 I'm fine with that if the chair of ordinance is up to- 2572 01:25:26,250 --> 01:25:27,510 That's up to you. Just making a suggestion 2573 01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:27,550 ... okay with that. 2574 01:25:27,550 --> 01:25:29,040 Fine. But I agree with you, it is just information. 2575 01:25:29,060 --> 01:25:30,540 Okay, guys, we're not going to-- Hold on. 2576 01:25:30,700 --> 01:25:31,500 Let's go 2577 01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:34,000 one at a time. Okay, you all set? 2578 01:25:35,300 --> 01:25:36,820 She wants to change his motion. 2579 01:25:37,300 --> 01:25:38,610 Okay. You want to change the motion? 2580 01:25:38,610 --> 01:25:40,150 It's a friendly amendment if he wants to have it go to ordinance. 2581 01:25:40,150 --> 01:25:42,380 He's making a friendly amendment to send it to ordinance. 2582 01:25:42,540 --> 01:25:42,960 Sure. 2583 01:25:43,060 --> 01:25:46,000 Okay, so friendly amendment. So we can just do one. 2584 01:25:46,740 --> 01:25:47,180 Okay. Sure. 2585 01:25:47,440 --> 01:25:50,680 Any other comments from the floor? Any comments from Zoom? 2586 01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:52,110 Just Councilor Cusche. 2587 01:25:52,860 --> 01:25:54,760 Since it's going to come to me anyway, I'll speak at it in committee. 2588 01:25:54,820 --> 01:25:58,000 But for those who don't know, there's a big push in the state right now for a CORI 2589 01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:01,560 sealing. So that's something we're going to have to deal with, too, because now 2590 01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:05,040 you're not going to have access to that information when they seal their CORI 2591 01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:05,400 checks. 2592 01:26:05,660 --> 01:26:06,820 We'll see that in ordinance. 2593 01:26:08,220 --> 01:26:10,920 Mr. President, the proper form, I believe, would be just a motion 2594 01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:14,960 to send it to ordinance. You don't need to amend anything, just a motion to send to 2595 01:26:14,980 --> 01:26:16,140 ordinance and vote. 2596 01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:17,020 That's what we're going to do. 2597 01:26:17,080 --> 01:26:17,320 Okay. 2598 01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:20,420 That's on the floor right now to send it to ordinance. 2599 01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:24,200 Well, it still is an amendment because the original motion was sent it to rules. 2600 01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:25,100 Either way. 2601 01:26:25,180 --> 01:26:29,060 So the amendment would be to send it to ordinance, which stops discussion about 2602 01:26:29,140 --> 01:26:29,740 my amend- 2603 01:26:29,850 --> 01:26:30,700 Of course, and opens his 2604 01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:32,100 ... my motion.
