Communications from the Mayor:
Mayor O'Connell said they have a special presentation this evening. She was thrilled to
welcome their special guests, the Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical High School
Cheer Team. They are the MSAA 2022 Game Day Cheerleading State Champions! They
defeated sixteen teams across the state in a fierce competition. They are also back to back
champions because they won the 2021 State Champs as well which is really
extraordinary. Cheerleading is an incredibly challenging sport. It is a sport and a tough
sport. For anyone who questions this, take a look at the video and you'll see how tough it
is. You will be amazed. Her praise continued and wished them much success. She hopes
they are going to get to go to Nationals next. They are also thrilled they will be on stage
for "Lights On" on Saturday. Also who was present with the team was Principal Karen
Guenette and Assistant Principal Mark Mosher. She thanked them for all the support they
give the team. The five Captains joined the Mayor at the podium and gave a few words.
Mayor O'Connell gave a special thanks to the coaches as well. The Athletic Director,
Mark Leberda also gave a few words. Councilor Borges gave a special thanks to the team
and the coaches. She invited her colleague Louis Borges to join her at the podium. Her
praise continued. She also gave details on the teams journey of how they got this far.
Mayor O'Connell handed out citations to the team and coaches.
Motion was made to revert back to the regular order of business. So voted.

Motion was made to go out of the regular order of business to Communication from
the Mayor. So voted.
Communications from the Mayor:
Mayor O'Connell said as a reminder, "Lights On" is this Saturday night. Everyone is so
excited. This will begin at 3:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. The opening ceremony begins at 4:30
p.m. Also, Sunday is the Christmas parade which starts at 12:00 p.m. The Christmas
basket raffle is still available here on the 2nd floor at City Hall. You can purchase tickets
with the Clerk of Committees. This does help fund the parade.
Motion was made to go back to public input. So voted.
Opportunity for input by the general public.
Lilah Medeiros, 24 Knight Street, Taunton, MA spoke about Saints Way and Bridget
Drive being changed from a private street to a public street. She gave some details about
some of the devastation her property has been experiencing. Until April, she said she has
been in constant communications with different City departments. She stated the flooding
has become ridiculous. She explained how her property going way back to the 80's, used
to be agricultural. She said there is a drain that never used to be wet and now her entire
property is a river. This drainage has devastated not only her entire property but her
house as well. Her basement has two sump-pumps going day and night. The water has
risen over the furnace so many times that she no longer has a furnace. She also no longer
has a chimney to the furnace. She cannot leave her house more than an hour without
having to check to see how much sand has come in. She has sink holes and all of her trees
have fallen over. TEMA refused to set foot on her property last summer due to being
scared he was going to fall into a sink hole. She is now putting together a geological
study. The river starts right at the drainage on her property. She has never seen anything
like this. She has had to evacuate her home. Her walls are dripping from the
condensation. She gave the Council pictures and a map of her property. Councilor Coute
asked if she has spoken to the City Engineer about this. Ms. Medeiros said she has
spoken to Conservation many times, the Environmental Police, Environmental
Protection, officers in Lakeville, a company in Framingham, but not the City Engineer.
FEMA now considers her to live on an island and her flood insurance went up
$10,000.00 a year. She is not covered under her insurance right now because it's
considered a man-made disaster. Motion was made to refer to the City Engineer for
correspondence to the Council, Mayor's Office and the Law Department regarding
this issue and if a discussion is necessary it will go to the Committee of the Council
as a Whole. So voted.
Hearings:
On the petition submitted by the City of Taunton, 15 Summer Street, Taunton to allow
proposed changes to the Taunton Zoning Ordinance dated October 4, 2022:
Article XVII Transit-Oriented Development District
§ 440-1701 Purpose
§ 440-1702 Powers and administrative procedures
§ 440-1703 Applicability
§ 440-1704 Definitions
§ 440-1705 Density and dimensional requirements
§ 440-1706 Use regulations
3
§ 440-1707 Other design requirements
§ 440-1708 Review criteria
Motion was made to open the public hearing and invite the interested parties into
the enclosure. So voted. The City Clerk read the communications into the record.
Proposed Zoning Changes Dated 10-4-2022 with maps was submitted. Com. from Vice-
Chairman, Taunton Planning Board submitting a positive recommendation. Com. from
the Conservation Agent submitting comments. Com. from the Assistant Executive
Director, Board of Health submitting comments. Motion was made to make all
communications a part of the record. So voted. The City Planner, Kevin Scanlon, said
this is being precipitated by the States changes to 40A which is requiring cities and towns
that have MBTA service to provide some by-right housing within a half mile of the train
stations at which we have one coming in East Taunton shortly. They have a certain
number of units, which in our case is about 37,000-units of potential housing that they
need to create in some sort of by-right manner which they have chosen to propose as an
overlay district by amending the current TOD. They gave a presentation to the Council a
couple months ago. The Planning Board's got a favorable recommendation with one
condition which he would like to discuss further into this discussion. If approved, they
will submit this through OECD and then to the State. In that compliance model made
eligible grant funding that we would no longer be able for if this does not pass. Councilor
Duarte asked for Mr. Scanlon to comment on the Planning Boards condition to delete
three-family use. Mr. Scanlon said the Planning Board doesn't like tri-plexes. They don't
mind the one, two and three stacked up but the side-by-sides they just don't really like
them. They don't want it as part of this. He doesn't necessarily have a problem with
removing that particular statement. However, the state guidelines under the 40A
requirement is multi-family in their eyes, is three or more units. As Zoning is four or
more units. He doesn't have a problem with that line staying or going but if you're going
to take it out then he would want to amend item #1 to be multi-family three or more.
Councilor Duarte said he would agree to word it that way which is probably better to
change it in the multi-family section. Councilor Duarte asked when this came in front of
the Zoning Committee for the original presentation, he had asked him why on the final
page of the written part, why the percentage of the affordable housing required was being
reduced from 20% to 10%. Mr. Scanlon said under this legislation, page 7, section 4, item
B, under Affordability Requirements, they are actually capping the ability to no more
than 10% to be required. Basically he wants to make it easy as possible for these
developers to do this. Now if it's an apartment complex with a rental, all 100% is going
to be counted as our 41B caps. If it's a condo type sale only 10% would count. The
legislation itself is capping it at 10%. So, they need to change it to be in line. Motion was
made to open public input. So voted. Nobody was present to speak for public input.
Motion was made to close public input and to approve as presented on a roll call
vote. On a roll call vote, eight (8) Councilors were present, eight (8) Councilors
voted in favor. Councilor Postell was absent. So voted. Motion was made to close the
public hearing. So voted.

Present were Councilor Phillip Duarte, Chairman and Councilors Dooner, Borges, McCaul,
Pottier, Coute, Sanders, and Quintal. Also present was City Solicitor Matt Costa. Councilor
Postell was absent.
The meeting was called to order at 5:48 PM.
1. Meet to review finalized public input policy.
Councilor Duarte stated that tonight's discussion was a continuation from the prior week. He
read a communication from City Solicitor Costa dated November 29, 2022.
MOTION: Make the letter part of the record. So voted.
MOTION: Approve the proposed changes to the Rules of the Council and the registration
documents enclosed forthwith.
Councilor Pottier summarized his understanding that with the changes, public input on new
topics would be allowed, but new items would be referred.
Councilor Duarte indicated his understanding that new items would need to be registered in
advance.
Councilor Pottier suggested that if his interpretation is not correct, language should be added
Councilor Quintal indicated that he believes this is getting too confusing and that he would like
to go back to the old way of doing things. In situations where something escalates, the Mayor or
the Council President can bang the gavel.
Councilor Borges agreed that this discussion has gone too far and that there was nothing wrong
with the way they were doing public input in the past. She indicated that the Chair should decide
when things go too far.
Councilor Pottier summarized his understanding of the new process. Either someone can talk
about something on the agenda or it gets referred. He reiterated that under the Open Meeting
Law, a new item can't be brought up for discussion because it is not on the agenda.

The Committee of the Council as a Whole - Continued
Councilor Coute agreed with Councilor Pottier that his understanding of the language is that the
public can bring up anything they want but if it's not on the agenda, it would need to be put off
until the next meeting.
Councilor Duarte stressed that what was being put forward by Councilors Pottier and Coute was
different from what was discussed last week.
Councilor McCaul requested a recess to allow time to consult with the Law Department.
However, he was unable to make that motion due to the motion on the floor.
Councilor Sanders indicated that he would be unable to support these changes to the policy as
written. He stressed that everything was working fine before. Under the old process, if
something required urgent attention they could entertain the topic. Otherwise, it would be
referred to a subcommittee. Mr. Sanders looked at the documents as presented and stressed that
he believes that the way it is presented, items that are not on the agenda must still be registered
with the Clerk in advance to be put on the agenda and expressed concern about the amount of
information required to register either that day or in advance.
Councilor Dooner expressed her understanding that with this policy, items can either be
registered in advance or brought up that day.
Councilor Pottier again indicated his belief that with this policy if someone wants to bring up a
new matter, they are welcome to do so and to be referred.
Council President Duarte recognized City Solicitor Costa.
Councilor McCaul indicated that he was looking for some clarification as there was confusion
amongst the Councilors.
Attorney Costa clarified that if this policy, which is an amendment to the Council's temporary
policy, were adopted, everything to be discussed at the Council meeting would be on the agenda.
Councilor Duarte confirmed with Attorney Costa that to bring up items not on the agenda, one
would preregister and Attorney Costa confirmed that if the deadline was missed it would be on
the next agenda.
Councilor Pottier again asserted that with this policy anybody can talk about any item not on the
agenda, they would just be referred. Attorney Costa stated that the Council can suspend the rules
with a vote.

The Committee of the Council as a Whole - Continued
Councilor Duarte drew attention to subsection "f' which requires people to preregister for non-
agenda items which would need to be clarified if the desire was to allow items not on the agenda
to be brought forward. Attorney Costa suggested that subsection "f' could be clarified to allow
for new subjects to be raised and referred.
Councilor Dooner brought attention to subsection "c" which discusses referring new items.
Councilor Coute further questioned Attorney Costa who indicated that the Attorney General
strongly recommends not discussing items not on the agenda but to allow public comment.
Councilor Sanders indicated that his concerns about subsection "f' are valid and that there is not
a smooth connection to subsection "c". Subsection "c" refers to the agenda in general where
subsection "f' is related to public input specifically which currently limits new items to
preregistration. Attorney Costa reminded the Council that the public can put items on the agenda
and if they miss the deadline it will be on the next agenda. Councilor Sanders indicated his
desire to change subsection "f' to allow for new items to be brought forward without
preregistration.
Councilor Quintal wondered what the harm would be in going back to the old way. Attorney
Costa indicated that new items should be referred and the trouble arises when there is
deliberation.
Councilor Dooner asserted that section "c" is as clear as can be.
Attorney Costa indicated that subsection "f' should be clarified so that new items could be
brought up to be referred if the intent is to hear items both on the agenda and not on the agenda.
Councilor Coute revised his motion to add to section "c":
REVISED MOTION: Add to section "c": The public can bring up a topic not on the agenda.
Items on that matter can be referred to the appropriate committee or department.
Councilor Duarte suggested that subsection "f', which is about public input, should be amended
to include "or general matters" in the last sentence.
Councilor Coute revised his motion:
REVISED MOTION: Law Department to insert language where it deems appropriate. The
public can bring up a topic not on the agenda and items on that matter can be referred to the
appropriate committee or department for discussion.

The Committee of the Council as a Whole - Continued
Councilor Borges stressed that subsection "f' should be amended to add "or in general" and
suggested that the motion should be that the Law Department revise the language as discussed
and get it back to the Council for review next week.
Councilor Coute restated his motion and requested the vote be on a roll call.
Councilor Sanders suggested that the policy is basically back to where they started and supported
Councilor Borges' request to have a clean version to review. He also would like to give
Councilor Postell a chance to vote on the matter.
Councilor Duarte indicated that he would also like to see a clean version of the language and
suggested this could be voted in the Full Council next week.
Councilor Conte withdrew his motion and made the following motion:
MOTION: Refer this to the full Council agenda for next week for a vote with the Law
Department revisions that the public can bring up a topic not on the agenda and items can be
referred to the appropriate committee or department for discussion.
Councilor Quintal again indicated that it was working well 3 or 4 months ago and suggested that
they return to that process.
Councilor Coute added "or action" to the motion.
REVISED MOTION: Refer this to the full Council agenda for next week for a vote with the
Law Department revisions that the public can bring up a topic not on the agenda and items can
be referred to the appropriate committee or department for discussion or action. On a roll call,
Councilors Dooner, McCaul, Pottier, Coute, Sanders, and Duarte voted yes. Councilor
Borges and Quintal voted no. The motion carried with a 6-2 vote.
The meeting adjourned at 6:52 PM.

RE: Important Information-Price Changes
•
Dear City Attorney:
At Comcast, we are always committed to delivering the entertainment and services that matter most to our
customers in your community, as well as exciting experiences they won't find anywhere else . We are also
focused on making our network stronger in order to meet our customers' current needs and future demands.
As we continue to invest in our network, products, and services, the cost of doing business rises. Rising
programming costs, most notably for broadcast TV and sports, continue to be the biggest factors driving price
increases. While we absorb some of these costs, these fee increases affect service pricing. As a result,
starting December 20, 2022, prices for certain services and fees will be increasing, including the Broadcast
TV Fee and the Regional Sports Network Fee .
Enclosed are the notices customers will receive within their bill starting November 20, 2022. We know you
may have questions about these changes . If I can be of any further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact
me via email at patrick_shearns@comcast.com .
