Page 16 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 18, 2019 SICA AND VANNI | FROM PAGE 2 I think we’re done,” she said. “We at least need to see all the apartments in the pipeline finished before we do anymore.” Sica said the MAPC assessment did not consider the many variables that drive the demand for housing. She added that the assessment showed that Malden has devoted enough land to affordable housing to win protection under state laws from 40B projects that allow developers relief from zoning regulations in exchange for affordable units. Like others, she feels the MAPC’s call for a huge spike in residential development for Malden was out of line. “With all due respect to the MAPC, I don’t think any outside group should be setting targets for us,” she said. Still, Sica acknowledges the need for more affordable housing. She feels the city should require affordable units as part of any new residential project.

October 18, 2019 the city should develop strategies to make home ownership affordable for families. Sica does support the idea of a new hotel in Malden which would generate a new revenue stream with room and meal taxes. “People will come and stay and spend money in the city,” she said. “And the best part is that after their visit, they’ll leave.” Andrew Vanni For Andrew Vanni, stepping into the Ward 8 City Council race made sense. Vanni, who is now the finance director for the town of Millbury, has also worked as the finance director for Haverhill and was Middleton’s chief financial officer from 2004 to 2014. He has also maintained a private financial consulting firm for the past 26 years. “I felt my experience could be useful to Malden,” he said. “I could make the city’s finances stronger so Malden could provide more services and lower taxes at the same time.” Still, Vanni’s return to Malden was a surprise for residents who first knew him as a finalist in the city’s 2017 search for a new treasurer. Vanni withdrew his name from consideration for that job to take the position in Millbury. But Vanni remained involved in the treasurer search by sending an email to city councillors with information about one of the other finalists. Vanni said he meant to send the message anonymously (from a concerned taxpayer), but he accidentally entered then City Council President Debbie DeMaria’s name in the “From” line in the email form. DeMaria felt she was a victim of email fraud and asked SICA AND VANNI | SEE PAGE 17 ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 208 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, MA 02141 (617) 768-5800 Docket No. MI19P5063EA Estate of: Rose Cappuccio Also known as: Rosa Cappuccio Date of Death: 03/20/2019 CITATION ON PETITION FOR FORMAL ADJUDICATION To all interested persons: A petition for Formal Probate of Will with Appointment of Personal Representative has been filed by Rita Kelley of Billerica, MA requesting that the Court enter a formal Decree and Order and for such other relief as requested in the Petition.
