A RESOLUTION FOR CARBON PRICING IN MASSACHUSETTS WHEREAS, overwhelming scientific evidence confirms that climate change with associated global warming is continuing with insufficient abatement and that burning fossil fuels with their resultant polluting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has become a chief enduring contributor; and WHEREAS, climate change is a serious threat to our City’s current and future generations, whose lives and well-being we have the responsibility to protect; and WHEREAS, the costs of health care, public safety, extreme weather events, and ocean damages (acidification, warming and sea level rise) from climate change are increasing without adequate federal intervention; and WHEREAS, our City Council passed the 100% Clean Energy Resolution in 2016 (10-1) as an ambitious goal that involves multiple sources of funding and increased market-based incentives for non-fossil-fuel energy sources; and WHEREAS, carbon pricing has been identified by most economists as the most effective, fair and bipartisan way to decrease GHG pollution and thereby reach our Global Solutions Act goals; THEREFORE, we strongly and urgently petition the Massachusetts Legislature and Governor to promptly pass carbon pricing legislation with the following features, all of which are currently sponsored or under study and available for implementation:  498 CITY OF SALEM APRIL 12, 2018 REGULAR MEETING OF THE SALEM CITY COUNCIL 1) Establish a gradually increasing carbon pollution fee on GHG emissions to give energy suppliers and consumers a strong market-based incentive to switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy and to improve energy efficiency. 2) Provide sufficient rebates of collected carbon pollution fees so that most low and moderate - income households come out ahead or even from the combination of fees and rebates. 3) Provide rebates to vulnerable public and private sector employers to help cover any increased fossil-fuel energy costs. 4) Provide full compensation for regional and municipal transit authorities for increased costs for fuels caused by a carbon pollution fee, while retaining the incentive to transition to electric or other non-fossil-fuel modes of transportation. 5) Use a portion of the fees to fund municipal and other programs to encourage and improve clean energy, low-carbon transportation and resilience to the impacts of climate change. #228 – LETTER FROM THE MAYOR REGARDING AN INFORMATIONAL UPDATE RELATIVE TO JOINT LITIGATION AGAINST OPIOID MANUFACTURERS The following letter from the Mayor regarding an Informational Update Relative to Joint Litigation Against Opioid Manufacturers was received and placed on file. April 10, 2018 Honorable Salem City Council Salem City Hall Salem, Massachusetts 01970 RE: An Informational Update Relative to Joint Litigation Against Opioid Manufacturers Ladies and Gentlemen of the City Council: As you may be aware, a number of communities have joined lawsuits against opioid manufacturers. I have asked our City Solicitor to review our options in this regard and wanted to let you know that after a number of months of research into the topic, I am recommending that the City of Salem participate in a joint lawsuit, along with other municipalities, including Springfield, Worcester, and Haverhill in litigation being undertaken by Scott + Scott LLC and Anderson & Krieger LLP. There is no financial obligation to the City to participate in this litigation and the firms involved are paid a contingency of any funds that are awarded to the plaintiffs should the suit prevail. 499 CITY OF SALEM APRIL 12, 2018 REGULAR MEETING OF THE SALEM CITY COUNCIL The basis of this suit is that opioid manufacturers and distributors have directly and negatively impacted our community by misrepresenting the addictive properties of opioid drugs and not adequately monitoring and curtailing abusive prescription practices by “pill mill” distributors. Opioid addiction and overdoses have grown in Massachusetts, and Salem is not immune. While numbers for 2018 are slightly better, the totality of this legal drug’s impact on families, our schools, our community, and our workforce and economy are hard to ignore. In Salem, since 2015 we have had over 400 overdoses and around 50 deaths due to opioid addiction, and we know that close to 75% of heroin users report that they began by abusing a prescription opioid. If the suit is successful, compensation will depend on our ability to demonstrate a financial impact to the City. While not all of these will apply, the following items are representative of expense factors where other lawsuits have identified costs incurred that may be recaptured by successful litigation: funds paid for opioids through government-payor programs such as employee insurance; costs for providing medical care, therapeutic and drug purchases, or other treatments for patients suffering from opioid-related addiction; drug treatment programs; costs for providing treatment or care of infants born with opioid-related medical conditions; costs for providing services for children whose parents suffer from opioid-related incapacitation; and costs associated with law enforcement and public safety efforts related to the opioid epidemic. This last category is most likely where Salem will be able to recoup funds. In addition, cities and towns may be able to secure injunctive relief to prevent further unlawful distribution of these dangerous and harmful drugs. To be clear, we do not view this effort as a solution to the opioid epidemic. We remain committed to the multitude of other on-the-ground initiatives we have been conducting for the last three years to address this crisis. Those include expanded educational efforts, primarily in the Middle School grades, our door-knock addiction intervention program which has positively interacted with nearly 100 individuals since it began, and, of course, through the provision of naloxone to both first responders and the public. Salem’s was among the first police departments to carry this anti-opioid medication and, since 2014, has made use of it well over 200 times, saving many lives in the process. Salem, like hundreds, if not thousands, of other communities across the nation, has suffered an emotional, social, and financial toll due to the unchecked proliferation of opioid medications. With the mounting evidence that manufacturers of these medications were quite aware of the addictive and potentially deadly effects their product could have, it seems wholly appropriate that impacted communities seek remuneration for the fiscal costs associated with the failure to warn, prevent and address addiction. We can never “recover” the emotional and social costs we have incurred over the last decade from this epidemic. But this litigation seems a good first step in at least recovering the financial costs we have borne. Sincerely, Kimberley Driscoll Mayor City of Salem  500 CITY OF SALEM APRIL 12, 2018 REGULAR MEETING OF THE SALEM CITY COUNCIL (#229) – RESOLUTION FOR JON PARISIEN FOR BRAVERY AND HEROISM Councillor Flynn introduced the following Resolution which was adopted.
