Sen. DiDomenico explained the bill (H.965) would ban or restrict the chemicals currently used in rodenticides that can harm other animals that come in contact with poisoned rodents for up to four weeks. The bill has a lot of cosponsors but also has to compete with many other priorities. Rep. Garcia added the bill would require labeling, written justification, and a post-use report with a long-term rodent control plan. It aims to preserve wildlife while addressing rodent issues. Councilor Rogers thanked them for the information and for appearing. Councilor Hanlon asked about the origin and severity of the issue. Rep. Garcia said it was brought to tight by the MSPCA after wildlife was found harmed by the anticoagulant poison.

16.

Change orders to date total $70,377.19. Bids were provided to show they match what was won by the general contractor.

Rogers A resolution formally condemning the misinformation posted by Tricia McLaughlin and demanding an immediate public correction from Homeland Security concerning the detention of a juvenile arrested by the Everett Police Department Councilor Rogers provided a prewritten statement on this resolution.

While grateful to the person who reported the threat and EPD for responding, she said ICE's removal of the 13-year-old from Massachusetts without due process is unacceptable. She specifically condemned DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin for publicly claiming the minor possessed a firearm, which contradicted statements from Mayor DeMaria and Police Chief Strong. Her motion was to refer the resolution to DHS, Governor Healey, AG Campbell, Senators Markey and Warren, and Rep. Pressley.

20. €0332-25 Resolution/s/ Councilor Katy L. Rogers, Councilor Guerline Alcy Jabouin A resolution regarding the status of Luis Oswaldo, who was reportedly detained by ICE in Everett on September 10. Councilor Rogers described trying to find information on the case of Luis Oswaldo, who was reportedly detained by ICE on September 10 despite his family claiming he has no criminal record. Calls to Homeland Security went unanswered and searches in their system returned no results. The Everett Police Department also had no record of Luis Oswaldo. Rogers expressed serious concerns that EPD is not notified when ICE detains someone, citing general safety issues with the lack of local checks and balances on "masked men" taking people off the street. She requested the mayor and police chief provide any applicable information on the Oswaldo case and on the general protocol for notifying EPD when ICE detains someone. Refer item 20 to the mayor and police chief for an update by the next meeting. MOTION: Refer MOVER: Katy Rogers SECONDER: Holly Garcia RESULT: Passed [0 TO 0] AYES: NAYS: AWAY:

C0335-25 Resolution/s/ Councilor Anthony DiPierro Requesting an update on plans to address the ramp curbing at the intersection of Ferry and Sycamore Streets Councilor DiPierro received a response from city engineer Eric Swanson that the corner of Ferry and Sycamore can be corrected after MassDOT releases the vendor from contractual obligations and turns the street back over to Everett, likely in the spring. Rather than full removal, DiPierro requested DPW take immediate action to mark the raised curbing with paint, a flower box, or a trash can to prevent tripping hazards. Refer item 22 to DPW.

24. C0337-25 Resolution/s/ Councilor Michael K. Marchese A resolution requesting that all parties/businesses contributing to any Mayor's Legal Defense fund not profit from the city Councilor Marchese raised concerns about the amount of money that can be donated to a mayor's legal defense fund, up to $50,000 from a single entity". Even with the $1000 annual limit per person, he argued it lets donors buy influence with the mayor. Marchese said if a mayor accepts defense fund donations from a developer, that entity should be barred from profiting in the city. He acknowledged state law currently allows it but thinks it should be overhauled to prevent buying influence. Councilor DiPierro noted political donations are protected free speech under the First Amendment. Marchese maintained $50,000 is beyond free speech and requested referring the matter to the Office of Campaign and Political Finance (OCPF).
