Pledge of Allegiance led by Feldman. Opening comments by Chair Flowers. Moment of silence observed for recently deceased former building inspector Timothy Brennan. Councilor Rotondo is not able to attend the special meeting due to work constraints. Unfinished Business from Prior Meeting Order#065-National Grid/New England Power Company Petition for Transmission Line Franchise Flowers opens the floor for remarks by solicitors and council members. Mr. Miyares provides opening statements for the petition. Before city council is a draft for the new grant of the location that reflects the discussed changes from the prior meeting. There are a few minor additions that would assist the document for clarification and are user-friendly. Miyares informs council they have a suggestion for change on Condition#15. Rand is impressed with the list of conditions and appreciates the collaboration between council and the citizen groups on such a large-scale project. It is important to adhere to the list of conditions and be mindful as the project progresses with unforeseen circumstances. Ward 2 already incorporates similar infrastructure which is not high quality in the Goat Hill area. The project as proposed should create a better living situation for those residents. Rand takes care to point out,the other side of Ward 2 will experience large scale change. The dichotomy within Ward 2 has a complexity of equal parts improved quality of life and major disruptions. Sweeney believes the agreement reached with the city is good since the grant of location was approved by the state years ago. He thanks the administration and Commissioner Collins who worked with National Grid to obtain a revised quote for road repaving. Special City Council Meeting June 30,2022 Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 12 Houseman requests that a copy of his suggestions are provided to the mayor. Additional remarks include, notwithstanding the commitment by the council and the administration to support green infrastructure and clean energy initiatives, there are grave concerns expressed by the council and the constituents regarding this project. The main two issues of the project are construction location and public health. Neither of these issues are really satisfied. Through this process there are distinct limits as to what the city can accomplish. As such, Houseman encourages a vote to maximize the leverage the city has with this project. Otherwise, to deny the application and be left one minor relief would leverage state laws and agencies to avail the city. The other option is to grant the application and exercise the maximum leverage that benefits the city. Houseman provides a piece of public health history from 1914. Back then, the mayor's report highlights the following accomplishment. 84,320 gallons of light grade oil were sprayed on 96 city streets to keep the dust down. At that point in time, it was considered best practices in the interest of public health. Such practices today would not be lauded. Being humble and working with modern technology for what is not known may be more important than what is known. The experienced public notice process from National Grid and the Citing Board has been significantly flawed. One example was a legally required public hearing to get their permit. The hearing was held December 11, 2019 in Ward 4 at the Cove Community Center. Houseman was not notified of that hearing and the public who were notified were given a two-week comment period. The deadline was December 27, 2019, in the middle of the week during two big holidays, Christmas and New Year's Day. The timing of this public hearing insinuates via the busy holiday season that public knowledge and participation would intentionally be kept to a minimum. Houseman is interested in hearing what the corporate commitments will be by National Grid to keep the carbon emissions at a minimum to the Ward 4 constituents. Houseman quotes from their website that National Grid has a commitment to offset their construction project emissions. Houseman notes most members of council consider the offset acceptable via charitable donation as opposed to something National Grid should do as a matter of course. Houseman does not consider that acceptable and refers to it as "green-washing". He urges National Grid to step up with accountability and commitment. St. Hilaire recalls the first presentation in September 2018. The MOA between National Grid and the city had already been signed. That agreement outlined mitigation and construction impact. St. Hilaire prefers the council were in a different spot and having a different conversation. Outside counsel by Miyares informed council the root decision was already made and to move forward with a list of conditions in order to gain leverage. St. Hilaire reiterates residents' concerns with EMF. EMF experts from both National Grid and the city note there is a lack of evidence that link EMF exposure to cancer. St. Hilaire speaks about hearing from experts that the route selection near the MBTA is not a viable option. The preference is for it to be off the city streets. Regarding the lack of communication,the process of transparency and communication has been a big problem. St. Hilaire cites the Brimbal Ave Whole Foods development as an example. Dismayed to see the same problems years later. These are issues that impact the residents the council serves. St. Hilaire thanks the public participation and consistency of dedicated constituents and asks that they continue to show up. St. Hilaire promises the council will hold National Grid accountable for the conditions they agree to. Special City Council Meeting June 30,2022 Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 12 Bowen appreciates the collaboration of the council and citizen groups. The starting point was unfortunate, frustrating, and disappointing. Recognizes the residents are still in that same place. She pledges to be vigilant and involved. Feels very strongly in holding National Grid accountable to the agreed upon conditions that are necessary to the base line of safety, protection and access to public ways. Bowen states that the city and National Grid should be held to higher aspirations of how to work together. By taking the vote tonight the council takes responsibility to see the project through and be held accountable to their residents. Crowley directs comments to National Grid. They have promised to treat the neighbors and neighborhoods with scrupulous attention to safety and detail and the utmost respect. He asks National Grid to fulfill those obligations with little to zero disturbance with the neighbors. Urges National Grid to step up and be the partners they say they will be. Feldman remarks that democracy works best with more voices in the room and is proud of the neighbor-to-neighbor advocacy. The pride, care and concern shown by the community as a whole is admirable. Feldman also commits to stand by residents. President Flowers, due to parliamentary procedure, while in the president's chair, one may not opine on the matter before the council. President Flowers will switch chairs with Rand later on in the absence of Rotondo in order for her to speak on the matter before council votes. Flowers notes the Director of Constituent Services, Rani Jacobson, has joined the meeting. Mayor Cahill provides remarks. Appreciates the participating residents and City Solicitor Stephanie Williams. Ensures that all levels will be tracking the project and staying engaged with the project, especially for the resident's sake. Ensures that the National Grid commitments will be adhered to. One specific condition that is extremely important is the understanding that when it comes to magnetic fields, the delta configuration is best practice and that it has a cancelling out effect. The other important piece with the delta configuration is a combination of depth and distance. It is very important that language remain in the condition as is. The city will do their part to ensure collectively that National Grid adheres to the plan and that there is no straying from the plan unless it is absolutely necessary. Houseman asks the Chair if National Grid is willing to go on the record to disclose if they have a proposal to mitigate the emissions or if they will craft one for council approval. Chair asks National Grid to respond. National Grid representative, Attorney Pizzi, comments they are exploring options for a tree fund, however that funding may not be available through the project appropriations. They are committed to pursuing green energy initiatives. There are 33 total conditions. The Chair will proceed through each condition in order. Bowen asks if the MOA amendments are dually signed and executed. Solicitor Williams answers, National Grid signed it and presumes the mayor also signed it. Mayor Cahill confirms he signed the MOA. Motion: Houseman moves for 5-minute recess. Feldman seconds. Motion carries 8-0. President Flowers ends recess and resumes the meeting. Special City Council Meeting June 30,2022 Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 12 Condition 4 Bowen asks Miyares if the last sentence should be removed based on other edits in the final draft since that language is covered by the separate condition. Miyares responds affirmatively. There being no further comments or questions regarding the matter: Motion: Bowen moves to strike the final sentence in Condition 4. Houseman seconds. Motion carriers 8-0. Condition 6 Bowen would like to amend the word"memorandum" in the second sentence to "MOA"for consistency. Miyares responds affirmatively. There being no further comments or questions regarding the matter: Motion: Bowen moves to replace "memorandum"with"MOA". Houseman seconds. Motion carries 8-0. Condition 8 Motion: Houseman moves to insert language submitted via draft, from a plan with standards referred to and approved by the Health Department, after section (h) and before the last paragraph. Bowen seconds. Discussion on the motion. Sweeney asks if any National Grid representatives oppose the suggested changes in language proposed by Houseman. Miyares is uncomfortable referencing technology from a proprietary technology of an individual corporation. Suggests after"Anticimex SMART" insert"or equivalent technology". The Anticimex technology and longevity as an entity are unknown. St. Hilaire and Feldman agrees with not specifically endorsing any one brand name. Houseman agrees that the reference to equivalent is acceptable. Houseman asks Miyares if the words "enforced" should be in the next sentence. Miyares does not believe it is good practice for the council to enforce anything. Acceptable language should read as a separate sentence "This requirement may be enforced by the Director of Health". Bowen asks if it is appropriate to structure the language to say the Director of Health should be the "judge" of the technology and its efficiency. Houseman notes the vendor selection belongs to National Grid and not the council; that is a separate contract. Mayor Cahill briefly discusses the technology and vetting process for these technologies. Members continue discussion of the vendor and technology nuance. There being no further comments or questions regarding the matter: Special City Council Meeting June 30,2022 Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 12 Motion: Houseman moves to amend the original motion to accept the language reflected on the screen and as debated by council. Feldman seconds. Motion carries 7-1. St. Hilaire dissents. Condition 10 Motion: Houseman moves to suggest defining the whole statement of words "N-192 Replacement Project Citizens Advisory Committee (the "Committee")" and refer as "Committee" subsequently throughout the document where appropriate. Feldman seconds. Motion carries 8-0. Condition 11 Rand and Houseman both have amendments. Motion: Rand moves to add"and by email wherever possible" any time after"NEP shall provide notice by mail". Feldman seconds. Discussion on the motion. Houseman asks for clarification on the insertion. Rand recaps for Houseman. Miyares suggests using"reasonably practical" instead of"wherever possible". Motion: Rand amends the motion to "and by email wherever reasonably practical". Feldman seconds. Discussion on the motion. Bowen asks as a matter of legality should the punctuation include quotations around reasonably practical. Miyares suggests the following punction"by mail and, wherever reasonably practical, by email". There being no further comments or questions regarding the matter: Motion: Rand amends her motion to the punctuation and language suggested by Miyares. Feldman seconds. Motion carries 8-0. Motion: Houseman moves to amend the language in line 6 to "NEP shall provide the Commissioner,the City Council, and the Committee". Feldman seconds. Motion carries 8-0. Motion: Houseman moves to amend line 7 to "members of the City Council and the Committee, as determined by the City Council President". Rand seconds. Discussion on the motion. Mayor Cahill offers edits for the screen and the members discuss. Special City Council Meeting June 30,2022 Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 12 Motion: Houseman moves to amend the original motion for line 7 with suggested edits as presented on the screen. Rand seconds. Discussion on the motion. St. Hilaire points out the gender-neutral pronoun. Bowen asks if the intention is to allow the commissioner to select participants and for the council president to select participants. Houseman responds affirmatively. Bowen clarifies there are two decision makers and two groups of participants. St. Hilaire asks what is involved in a video sweep and is it appropriate for these members to be involved in the process. Mr. O'Leary responds. O'Leary outlines the process and cautions more people can create a cumbersome process. There being no further comments or questions regarding the matter: Motion: Houseman moves to amend the original motion for line 7 with suggested edits as presented on screen. Rand seconds. Motion carries 8-0. Condition 12 Motion: Bowen moves to amend the first sentence with the language presented on the screen. Houseman seconds. Discussion on the motion. Bowen asks the attorneys to comment. Miyares concurs the language proposed is satisfactory. The motion remains as presented. President Flowers asks for a vote. Motion: Motion carries 8-0. Condition 13 Motion: Houseman moves the amendment to the condition and reference to the MOA include but are not limited to the listed streets of E. Lothrop, Cross Lane and Boyles Street for road revisions and repairs post construction. Discussion on the motion. Miyares called out the strangeness of the suggested language. There are 12 streets, not only 3 streets. Miyares suggests listing all 12 streets affected along the route. Williams comments with respect to the MOA. She cites paragraph 10 from the MOA and references streets in Exhibit A. Williams points out this is not a scrivener's error. Houseman rebuts Williams and asks for clarity of the MOA. Houseman recalls he spoke with Commissioner Collins and Attorney Riley from National Grid and that the streets would be repaved and restored curb to curb. Mayor Cahill weighs in. National Grid will provide funds to have all the streets in Ward 4 who are affected (12 along the route) fully restored from curb to curb. Houseman asks what happens i t Special City Council Meeting June 30,2022 Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 12 when the funding depletes, and roads still require revision. Mayor Cahill reiterates the plan is to have all the streets along the route fully restored curb to curb as well as adjacent streets that will have wear and tear due to traffic detours. If the funding depletes before all streets are fully restored the city will seek additional funding through Chapter 90. Houseman will accept the mayor's public statement and commitment. Sweeney reads from the MOA confirming that the $3.5M will be used to repave the roads within 18 months of project completion. Sweeney asks if there would be any chance the city would go beyond 18 months. Mayor Cahill confirms the city will follow the project work. The city does not need to wait to begin repaving roads. Houseman and Bowen discuss the scrivener's error in the MOA and recall Commissioner Collins comment from a prior meeting that it was an error. National Grid representative echoes Williams's concerns in reading from the MOA. The specific language states National Grid agree to repave all impacted streets, or to restore curb to center line. National Grid concerns are the amended language for Condition 13 contradicts the MOA. Williams reads from an email exchange between herself and Attorney Riley regarding Exhibit A and the streets therein. St. Hilaire is most concerned with the mayor's commitments to have the streets repaved and accepts that commitment. He does not believe the amendment for Condition 13 be included. Sweeney prefers to leave the language as is. The mayor's public commitment and MOA are sufficient. The council will be diligent and make sure these conditions are followed through. Feldman finds that including any streets are moot at this point. It is incumbent upon the city to see the conditions are followed through while NEP supplies the funding. Miyares provides additional remarks. Problem 1, they are issuing a grant of location. They have been diligent to avoid placing requirements on the executive branch or on the city. Second problem, if you call out 3 streets it is reasonable to infer the other 9 streets are left out for a reason. If you get into a dispute about why they were not included that becomes an issue. If you name 3 streets it is prudent to name the other 9 as well. He strongly discourages the language to say the city will do it or the executive branch will do it. St Hilaire asks if we say"all streets affected by the project will be repaved curb to curb". Miyares cautions the city will run into case law,which clearly states the obligation of a utility in a grant of location is to pave from curb to crown. Miyares strongly urges councilors to accept the language as agreed upon in the MOA, which basically states NEP agrees to repave the roads along the route. Rand believes the current language presented in the MOA and the Condition should remain as agreed upon. Based on the discussion, Houseman withdraws his motion. He still has grave concerns about leaving out a list of streets affected by Ward 4. Houseman finds the layout problematic. He does not doubt the mayor's commitment. He prefers a documented commitment. St. Hilaire echoes Houseman's concerns since some of Ward 4 residents are now part of Ward 6. Bowen also discusses the flaws in the process where information was not appropriately disclosed during public hearings or presented. Finds it to be a serious breach of trust in the process. Rand points out the condition language stipulates it will repave all public ways. Rand is comfortable listing all 12 streets. Flowers suggests listing the 12 streets with Crowley concurring in order to move the motion along. Feldman asks Miyares if listing the 12 streets weakens the Special City Council Meeting June 30,2022 Meeting Minutes Page 8 of 12 sentiment of the condition and if this will affect those detour streets and the ability for them to be restored. Miyares does not believe listing the 12 streets will weaken the sentiment of the condition. The language "all public ways" and"but not limited to" acknowledges the impact on other streets and that they would be repaved as well. Pizzi believes the MOA is appropriate as agreed to and as referenced by the condition. Pizzi has strong objection to "including but not limited to" because that could potentially expand upon what was agreed to in the MOA. Miyares focuses on the language "restoration of all public ways impacted by the Project". Their obligation is to restore is curb to crown, not curb to curb. The MOA says National Grid will provide funding, and the mayor will restore streets curb to curb. Miyares does not find including the list to be harmful nor helpful. His final opinion is to leave the wording as currently presented. Sweeney concurs. Sweeney clarifies section 10A with Miyares, who confirms the city's preference is to have the $3.5M funding from National Grid and the city prefers to repave the streets. There being no further comments or questions regarding the matter: Motion withdrawn. Condition 15 Miyares presents an amendment on the screen for council to review. He remarks, counsel for National Grid suggested, incorrectly, that including a condition for the laydown area was beyond the council's scope of authority. Miyares suggests including in the condition an explanation of exactly why it is within the council's scope of authority to include a condition for the laydown area. Laydown areas, unlike the rest of the project, will have impact as long as it is the laydown area. That could be the whole duration of the project. Miyares suggests the condition is appropriate any time National Grid incommodes the public ways and use of the public ways throughout the duration of the project. The suggestive language at the beginning makes the point clear. They are also proposing that NEP be able to go to the commissioner and seek temporary approval until they are able to seek full approval through the council. The existence of a temporary approval is not an invitation to spring any last-minute temporary requests on the city. The intent is to mitigate and minimize disruptions as well as to engage NEP in timely communication for these requests until they can go through the full process. Motion: Rand moves to accept Condition 15 as amended and proposed by Miyares. Sweeney seconds. Discussion on the motion: Sweeney asks for clarification on the temporary work staging area. The request would need to go before the commissioner of Public Works before it comes to council for approval. Then the temporary staging area is approved. Miyares clarifies the process listing one scenario or emergency scenarios as the exceptions. Bowen looks for language clarification on"temporary" and its perceived meaning. Miyares agrees and amends language to "Until such time the council Special City Council Meeting June 30,2022 Meeting Minutes Page 9 of 12 approves that use". Miyares also suggests defining"temporary"to mean no more than 60 days. Rand recommends a shorter time period considering the project appears to move in 2-week phases. Mayor Cahill cautions council to keep council meeting schedule in mind as they deliberate the time period, specifically referring to the summer recess for council. St. Hilaire does not feel the council has purview to approve laydown areas. He feel that rests with the commissioner of public works and asks why the council would want that responsibility. Miyares replies, the council would want the responsibility to specifically review the public use of the public way and how it will be impacted. This is a unique circumstance and because there is no standard for doing so. He has seen projects where the laydown area on projects were really annoying and vexing on the public. The city wants to ensure the laydown area and the impact to the laydown area are mitigated as much as possible. Miyares has suggested the council needs to know what it is, where it is, and ensure it is adequately controlled. Rand reminds councilors of the importance of stage and laydown areas. Residents do not want porta-potties in their front yards indefinitely. The impact cannot be understated. Houseman would like clarification on the difference between"lay down" and"lay out" areas. O'Leary provides clarification and discusses storage site for equipment and environmental impacts. O'Leary acknowledges National Grid would like to minimize impact as much as possible. Housman asks O'Leary his opinion on language he will propose to the amendment. The Central Cemetery should not be used as a staging area at all. O'Leary has no objections. There being no further comments or questions regarding the matter: Motion: Houseman moves to add an amendment to the amendment, language shall read, "the Central Cemetery shall not be used as a staging area". Feldman seconds. Motion carries 8-0. Motion: Rand moves to accept Condition 15 as amended and proposed by Miyares. Sweeney seconds. Motion carries 8-0. Condition 21 Motion: Bowen moves to add a sentence at the end of the condition, "NEP shall include in all public communications about the Project a statement about how affected members of the public can reach the project liaison". Sweeney seconds. Discussion on the motion. Bowen asks Miyares to weigh on the language proposed for the final sentence she suggests adding to the condition. Miyares points out the first sentence suggests the project liaison has to be available to the city and city entities. The last sentence suggests the liaison is available to members of the public. To add the last sentence the first sentence would need edits. Bowen would like confirmation from National Grid that they will be responsive to the public concerns and needs. Pizzi replies to Bowen, her understanding of the condition is that if an emergency occurred late at night, the appropriate EMS entities would communicate and coordinate with a city official who in turn will contact National Grid. Special City Council Meeting June 30,2022 Meeting Minutes Page 10 of 12 Feldman does not think any language edits or changes are necessary. Feldman prefers National Grid to use their discretion and keep the language simple. St. Hilaire concurs, simple language is best. Mayor Cahill weighs in regarding the standards of communication during emergencies. He believes the original language is sufficient and not to overcomplicate the triage process with cumbersome language. Bowen wants the communications to be balanced and not have concerns left on an unresponsive hotline, voicemail or email inbox. There being no further comments or questions regarding the matter: Motion: Bowen amends her motion to accept the edited language on screen. St. Hilaire seconds. Motion carries 8-0. Condition 23 Motion: Rand moves to amend language in the first sentence as presented on the screen. Feldman seconds. Discussion on the motion. Miyares offer edits. Motion: Rand moves to amend her original motion with suggested edits by Miyares. Feldman seconds. Discussion on the motion. St. Hilaire asks if there is any concern when to provide the written report or frequency of receiving the report. Miyares suggests adding "promptly" in front of provide. Advises not to micromanage the process. The language should suggest the expectation that such communications will be passed along in a timely manner. There being no further comments or questions regarding the matter: Motion: Rand moves to amend her original motion with suggested edits by Miyares and to include "promptly". Feldman seconds. Feldman seconds. Motion carries 8-0. Condition 29(e) Motion: Rand moves add under 29 (e)the following language "and laydown, staging, and storage areas". Bowen seconds. Motion carries 8-0. i I Condition 29(h) Motion: Rand moves to add another section to Condition 29. The new addition is "29 (h)" as presented on screen. Houseman seconds.

Motion: Bowen moves to correct a typo for consistency in condition 32 as mirrored by the prior condition. Houseman seconds. Motion carries 8-0. Parliamentary procedure Rand assumes the Chair and Flowers speaks as a councilor for final comments. Flowers issues a tremendous thank you to the residents. There was not a full and robust public process for grant of location application. Flowers appreciates this time and works in an open space of transparency for the public and council to coordinate. Flowers finds the diligence to public concern for the health and safety of the results highly admirable. This was done in true community spirit as residents reached out across their wards to offer suggestions, research, and compromise. Flowers acknowledges Mr. Mahood in recognition for his perseverance on green initiatives and concern for the environmental effects. Flowers reads a few words from Mr. Mahood. "What is our civic responsibility if we cannot hold companies accountable to their commitments to maintain a clean environment and preserving that green world for the future generations". This has been an uphill battle against well-funded opponents. He reminds the council, with words added from Flowers,that"it is not charity, it is your policy and our shared future"to follow through with the mitigation strategies. Flowers quotes from Mr. Mahood's words because the hard work is before them, maintaining accountability from all parties involved. Flowers quotes from another resident. During one of the proceedings, Mr. Riley stated"residents' opinions are Special City Council Meeting June 30,2022 Meeting Minutes Page 12 of 12 not facts". Carole Rein presented at the podium,these words, "what I want to state is not a fact but a truth". Flowers notes that Miss Rein commented on the lack of trust; lack of trust in the process, lack of trust in how things played out; lack of trust in National Grid; lack of trust in these moments. Flowers states that is a truth that has been clear here during the proceedings. This is a chance for National Grid to rebuild some of that trust by adhering to conditions, promoting green initiatives, and addressing concerns for public health and safety. Flowers calls on National Grid to be a better community partner and to be willing to lean into working together to rebuild some of that missing trust. There being no further comments or questions regarding the matter: Motion: Houseman moves to accept Order#065-National Grid/New England Power Company Petition for Transmission Line Franchise with the Conditions as amended and proposed. Feldman seconds. Discussion on the motion. Houseman asks legal counsel if the motion as proposed is airtight. Miyares and Williams confirm affirmatively. Motion: Motion carries 7-1. Rand dissents.
