For more information, please izens with disabilities to be able to call the City’s 311 constituent services line to ask for free house numbers for their residences. “The Fire Department has grant money specifi cally allocated for helping seniors,” she said. “Many properties in Everett are missing address numbers. This poses a safety hazard, as it makes it diffi cult for safety offi cials to identify houses quickly. Massachusetts requires all residences to be identified by number. In lieu of using resources on enforcement, it would be preferable to collaborate with the existing departments in the city to help ensure some of our most vulnerable residents have access to house numbers, which is why senior residents should be able to call 311 to request getting address numbers on their home. “I’ve had discussions with Will Hurley of the Fire Department, who shared that they have the opportunity to allocate a small amount of money for providing seniors with house address numbers. I spoke with Chad Luongo of the Constituent Services Department, who agreed to set up a portal via 311 to notify the Fire Department of requests.” The matter was referred to the administration to facilitate the connection. The Councillors also approved petitions from National Grid to install an underground conduit from an existing utility pole under the sidewalk to private property at 14 Baldwin Ave. and another underground conduit from an existing pole to private property at 33 Mystic St. for a parking garage for Encore Boston Harbor, despite ongoing concerns about Nacontact Director of Youth Development and Enrichment John Russolillo at John.Russolillo@ci.everett.ma.us or Assistant Director of Youth Workforce Development at Roberto.Velasquez@ci.everett.ma.us. tional Grid’s role or lack thereof in providing access to the waterfront along the Malden River and helping residents of Glendale Towers, 381 Ferry St., get air conditioning. Rogers has pursued the waterfront access issue, while Ward 1 Councillor Wayne Matewsky has often spoken about the situation at Glendale Towers. “I don’t want to hinder any development of private property, but the people of Glendale Towers have been waiting for their electrical systems to be upgraded,” Matewsky said about the request involving Mystic Street. “National Grid used to be an asset for us, but they’re disrespectful to the Council. I’ll vote for this, but we expect some relief.” A representative from National Grid said he was unaware of the situation at Glendale Towers. Martins, Pietrantonio and Rogers voted against the request. “Some Councillors are voting ‘no’ on National Grid issues in solidarity with the river path,” Rogers later said. Another petition from National Grid to install a conduit from an existing pole to a customer-owned manhole at 380 Second St. was voted down. Councillor-at-Large Guerline Alcy Jabouin cast the lone dissenting vote against appointing former School Committee Member Millie Cardello to a three-year term on the Board of Assessors to fi ll a position vacated by William Hart when he became Everett Superintendent of Schools. Appointments or reappointments of Rebecca Edmondson and Derek Shooster to the Zoning Board of Appeals, James Booker to the Disability Commission and DeAnne Mullett to the Board of Health were also approved.
