A potentially-contentious debate was avoided after the resolution to make improvements at the MAT bus station with federal transit funds was removed.
There was some debate on the funding of control amendments for an Emergency Operations Center in City Hall when Council member Bob Santangelo took strong exception to the room as the location for the center.
"When you make command decisions during an emergency you need quiet," Santangelo said, noting that the room was neither secure, nor quiet.
Council member Deborah Kleckowsky noted that the antenna was being sought now to take advantage of state grants.
The authorization to submit the application for the grants was approved by the Council.
The Council returned a resolution to grant free-parking for handicap permits back to committee for further study.
The Council also heaped praise on Middnight On Main organizers. The New Year's Eve celebration is the first town-wide, family-oriented New Year's event for the city. Council members voted unanimously to have the city partner in the event by promising $10,000 in city services.

How about Phil Cacciola
Phil was the director of Consumer Protection for the past 18 years. He has assisted 100's of people with consumer problems and also took on assisting handicap issues. He has also worked for Veterans and American Legion on his own time. I guess he was not considered important to the City Hall crowd. What a shame
Phil just retired a few weeks ago. We usually consult with the retiree and respect their wishes as to how we honor their service to the City.
