3. €0272-22 Ordinance/s/ Councilor Stephanie Martins An ordinance amending Section 4-5 (Affordable Housing Linkage Fee) 4(g) Collection of Linkage Fees Veto message from His Honor The Mayor MOTION: Favorable Action MOVER: Stephanie Martins ISECONDER: Stephanie Smith RESULT: Failed [7 TO 3]
Yes: Costa, Isola, Marchese, Martins, Matewsky, Nguyen, SmithNo: Cardillo, Hanlon, LattanziThis vote followed the Mayor’s veto of the ordinance; overriding a veto needs a two-thirds vote of the council, and the minutes record it as “Failed [7 TO 3]”. The names in this vote were read from the page image, where the scan is faint. The minutes record the motion as failing although the yes votes (7) outnumber the no votes (3); some council votes need more than a simple majority (for example, two-thirds for zoning changes and some money orders).

Hanlon, as President A petition requesting a new auto body/mechanical repair license for Malden Auto of Everett Inc at 49 Robin Street The City Clerk was asked why these new licenses were before us, since others in the community had been asking for a license in the past and were denied since there weren't any new licenses. The Clerk informed the Council that these are new people iaking over the license but the location already has these licenses for a few decades now and the owner of the property is selling the building and business to Malden Auto Body. Councilor Matewsky said he was in favor of these transfer of the license since both the current owner and proposed new owners of the property are long standing residents and business owners in Everett and have had no issues in the past. MOTION: Favorable Action MOVER: Stephanie Smith ISECONDER: Wayne Matewsky RESULT: Passed [10 TO 0]
The minutes give the count (10 to 0) without names; it matches the ten councilors present, so each is shown voting yes.
