1. Guest Presentation and Q&A
Dr. Edward Goetz, lead author of the Minneapolis Rent Stabilization Report, was the featured guest at tonight’s committee meeting. ○ He reviewed 5 program design options with the committee. ○ Rent caps do have an impact. Can eliminate rent gouging. Landlords can still
increase
rent,
but
extreme
rent
increases
avoided.
○ 4 main approaches to rent caps- one including tying to rate of inflation
(consumer
price
index).
i. Choice of cap 1. Think about administrative burdens when looking at options for
how
to
cap
2. Another consideration: rollback (setting base rent retroactive to

Chair Tetreault called the meeting to order at 6:03 p.m.
1. Public Speak –no one was present for public speak
2. Continued Discussion of proposed zoning changes
Update from the last meeting – B Newton, K Jamrog-McQuaid, and P Gamborini met with Dr
Hare from the UMass Hydrogeology lab and they are interested in working with us on our
proposal.
Dr. Hare has proposed to create a mod flow model that we can use to plug scenarios into to get
feedback on groundwater levels, recharge and water quality impacts.
The study will take about 2 years and will involve two parts:
1. Data discovery
2. Public Engagement with the Planning Dept and Conservation Commission
Consensus is that this could be an important decision-making tool for the City.

In Attendance: Pasqualina Azzarello, Tracey Eller, Steve Collicelli, Ted Perch, Allyson
Manuel, Cyndy Sperry, Maude Haak Frendscho, Peter Follet.
Approval of January minutes: Approved unanimously.
Public Speak- Felicia Jadczak, City Council Vice President came to speak regarding Cultural
Chaos and why she chose to disclose that Cultural Chaos was not happening this year to the City
Council before ECA made the announcement. Felicia addressed concerns surrounding the
cancellation of Cultural Chaos. She explained she publicly shared the cancellation news because
she felt: The community deserved a stronger voice in the decision-making process, and
Businesses and residents impacted by the event should have had more opportunity for input. She
wanted to make sure the public knew about the Cottage St subcommittee meeting that was taking
place the following Wednesday. She also stated that she knew that the committee did not make
this decision lightly but felt strongly that the public’s voice needs to be heard when making these
decisions. Committee member Maude Haak Frendscho spoke to say she wanted to acknowledge
that this decision did not happen in a vacuum and discussions about Cultural Chaos have been
ongoing for years. The pause is intended to create space for evaluation, sustainability planning,
and broader community engagement. The decision was not sudden or made lightly.

Call to Order Subcommittee Chair Megan Harvey called the meeting to order at 3:38 pm.
Public Comment None
FY’26 Update Julia Saari-Franks, the Director of Business Services, provided the committee
with two updates on the current fiscal year. First, more was budgeted last year
for vocational tuition than will likely be used, so there will be some savings
from that budget line. Second, there were unanticipated and unavoidable
increased costs associated with replacing a nurse in the district quickly, which
required the use of a temporary staffing agency until the position was
permanently filled. This resulted in unexpected charges of $60,182.16 above the
budgeted amount. The district has filed an Appropriation Request with the City
of Easthampton for Mayoral and City Council approval (see attached
document). The appropriation will be presented to the full committee at the next
regular session meeting.

Recommendations
Partnership Members went over key aspects of the zoning recommendations
A. Removal of the 18-unit cap per building
• K Perrier also noted that there is a limit of 8 or 9 buildings per parcel, which further
limits creative design and doesn’t allow for smaller buildings or clusters of buildings
on some sites where that might be more desirable.
B. Mixed-Use in Residential Zones
• D Boyle noted that up until the 1930s, Easthampton had 14 cash markets
throughout the City because many residents lacked refrigeration. D Boyle
commented that this type of mixed-use in residential zones would be most suitable
for artists and small commercial businesses.
C. Duplexes by right with single family set backs
D. Table of Areas – recommendations reducing to 3 Zones

Charity Funds CommiƩee MeeƟng Minutes – February 26, 2026
CommiƩee AƩendees: Gail Canon, Barbara LaBombard, Marlene Michonski, Carol Smith
City Staff Guests: Brooke Johnson, Hetal Patel
The meeƟng started with introducƟons and a welcome to newest commiƩee member Marlene
Michonski, and city staff Brooke Johnson, Treasurer, and Hetal Patel, Auditor. Barbara provided
an overview and history of the CFC commiƩee. There was addiƟonal discussion regarding the
four funds under the jurisdicƟon of the commiƩee – WhiƟng Street, Sarah Balch Wells, Jerome
& Margaret Lyman, and Lucy Greene – as well as the Patrick Flynn Fund administered out of the
Mayor’s Office. The CFC funds have been overseen by the City Clerk’s office, but we agreed it
would be best to move jurisdicƟon to the Treasurer’s Office. While the P . Flynn fund must be
managed by the Mayor’s Office, the CFC expressed a willingness to assist in whatever way we
could. We discussed the need for the commiƩee to know how much money is available in each
fund to help organizaƟons that support Easthampton residents of limited financial means, and
how much of each fund is principal that cannot be distributed. Once the accounts are under the
Treasurer’s Office, the checking account previously uƟlized by the Clerk’s Office can be closed as
it will no longer be needed to dispense funds.
MoƟons Made and Passed
1. Close fund accounts not under the purview of the Treasurer and ensure that all CFC
accounts are under the purview of the T

Maude, Andrea, Noel,Jim, Frank
Public speak
Frank-musician and retired. Offering to volunteer and participate.
Beth-support for the chaos “pause”
Noel “art in motion”-chaos is important and supported. She curates the dance acts. She feels
upset about finding out the way they have. They feel pushed out.
Andrea-had a studio at cottage st. wants to know why chaos is being taken away from us.
She wants the background of how this decision was made.
Pasqualina-Chaos grows every year in terms of artists/participants and public. Incredible
amount of time to prepare. We know the value of chaos. The cost has gone up. ECA pays for
public safety and it's our largest cost. Requirements have increased for public safety. All
overtime. Big cost. Infrastructure, stages, sound, porta potties have all gone up.
We went over the budget of the past till now.
Chaos is very fragile. It's grown but we have not. If everything goes smoothly, it's a beautiful
day. The weather is a huge factor. If it is canceled, all that money is still spent. We have been
very lucky. We are truly taking a pause. This year we are programming the district from April
through December. More than 20 events. Helping to bring money to the artists and businesses.
Every event planned has a rain date.

a. Sites: Park Street parcel (64 acres): this committee investigated all the sites that
belonged to the city (Park Street, Highland Street, Holyoke Street, and Daley Field),
Park Street presents the best opportunity. Allyson has found nothing that would
disqualify the Park Street parcel. It is important to note there are several privately
owned parcels listed in the Ad-Hoc Building Committee report, but none of the
owners are interested in selling. The Highland Street property may be an option, but
there are issues with it. The mayor will raise the viability of Highland Street with the
city attorney. Following discussion, Tony made a motion to make Park Street the
number one site for building a new Senior Center, which was seconded by Tom. The
motion passed 9-0.

most of the appointments that come before us, these are both appointments made by the City
Council President, and are thus handled differently). While the two appointees do not need to
be approved by our committee, the committee agreed that if possible in the future we can
invite city council presidential appointees to meet with this committee for the sake of
transparency and prudence.

3. Discussion of proposed zoning changes
B Newton suggests that our focus should be on the recharge areas that we want to protect. The

people=more “stuff”; it could take a long time to see the impacts; we need better population
projections to determine how much water we need.
K Jamrog-McQuaid asked about the impact of climate change. Dr. Boutte from UMass has
noted that we have rising groundwater levels. Will cl
