City of Cambridge continues efforts to help residents prevent utility shut offs. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: *Ini Tomeu* <itomeu(a)cambridgema.gov> Date: Mon, Jun 28, 2021 at 11:36 AM Subject: COVID-19 Utility Bill Moratorium Ending July 1. City of Cambridge continues efforts to help residents prevent utility shut offs. *City of Cambridge* *Contact:* Ini Tomeu, Public Information Officer itomeu(a)cambridgema.gov *For Immediate Release* *COVID-19 Utility Bill Moratorium Ending July 1 **City of Cambridge continues efforts to help residents prevent utility shut offs * *Cambridge, MA, June 28, 2021* -- As of July 1, 2021, the utility moratorium put in place by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts during the COVID-19 pandemic will end. Utility customers who have an overdue balance on their natural gas or electric account, may potentially have their service disconnected after July 1. These customers should also receive a notification about this directly from Eversource. Utility customers can prevent a potential shut-off of their electricity and gas by taking action. If you are having trouble paying your bill, help is available - even if you have never needed assistance before and even if you are currently working. Enrollment in an Eversource payment plan could prevent a service disconnection when they resume. For those who are low income qualified, there are special programs to help. First, be sure you are enrolled in the Discount Rate through Eversource. Eligible customers may qualify for a 36% (electric) or a 25% (natural gas) discount on monthly bills. Also, sign up for Eversource’s New Start program, which forgives overdue balances as on-time monthly payments are made. All customers, regardless of income, can enroll in a payment plan to pay a past-due balance over a period of up to 12 months. There is also protection available if you have a medical condition and a financial hardship, have a baby under 1, or if everyone in your household is over 65 and a minor resides in the home. Visit Eversource.com/BillHelp <http://link.mediaoutreach.meltwater.com/ls/click?upn=iNz98fGjAij26T-2FVbfVb…> or call Eversource at 866-861-6225 to find the best program or option. Massachusetts has utility and rent assistance resources available to help residents pay these bills. The Cambridge Multiservice Center can also help with a wide variety of housing-related issues. For more information, call 617-349-6340. Additionally, the City of Cambridge has partnered with All In Energy, a local nonprofit with a mission to accelerate an inclusive clean energy economy, to help you connect to a wide variety of energy-related resources. All In Energy staff can help you access the resources listed above, understand your utility bills, protect yourself from third-party energy suppliers, and connect residents and small businesses to energy efficiency programs, renewable energy options, heat pumps, and electric vehicles. For more assistance navigating these programs, contact the City of Cambridge’s Utility Bill Helpline with nonprofit partner All In Energy at 617-430-6230 or cambridgehelp(a)allinenergy.org. *-###-* _._,_._,_ ------------------------------ Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

Fwd: [ACN] Support tree protection and stronger condo conversion
by raryals 28 Jun '21

28 Jun '21

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Lee Farris <Lee(a)leefarris.net> Date: Mon, Jun 28, 2021 at 12:29 AM Subject: [ACN] Support tree protection and stronger condo conversion To: Cambridge Residents Alliance CORE < cambridge-residents-alliance-core(a)googlegroups.com>, Cambridge Neighborhood Association Google Group < association-of-cambridge-neighborhoods(a)googlegroups.com> Cc: FPRA Google Group <fresh-pond-residents-alliance(a)googlegroups.com> Dear neighbor, Monday 6/28 is the last City Council meeting until Aug. 2. There are two new items on the agenda that we ask you to support. 1. The strengthened *Tree Protection Ordinance* is almost ready for a final vote. Unfortunately, it *does not require affordable housing developers to protect trees*, which means lower income residents will likely have less access to trees and their benefits. (There was a proposal to require affordable housing developers to protect trees during the discussion of the Affordable Housing Overlay, but that did not succeed, nor did a recent effort to amend the draft tree ordinance.) The proposed amendment (see below) would provide city funds to assist affordable housing developers in protecting trees. It is listed as Unfinished Business #6, CMA 2021 #50 <https://cambridgema.iqm2.com/Citizens/Detail_LegiFile.aspx?Frame=&MeetingID…> . 8.66.040 - Applicability This Chapter shall apply to all trees located on Lots specified in the following section §8.66.050 and §8.66.055. *This Chapter shall not apply to any project of the Affordable Housing Trust or otherwise for the construction of low and moderate-income housing meeting the standards established pursuant to any City, State or Federal housing program designed to assist low and moderate-income households.* *To ensure equity and justice, the city shall, whenever possible and to the extent permissible by law, make available expertise and financial resources outside of the Affordable Housing Trust to ensure maximum canopy protection and maximum canopy expansion within the scope and limitations of any affordable housing project in the city. [amendment in red]* === 2. The Cambridge Residents Alliance has long called for a *stronger condo conversion law*, such as Boston has. Policy Order #10 <https://cambridgema.iqm2.com/Citizens/Detail_LegiFile.aspx?Frame=&MeetingID…>asks the manager and Council to discuss a draft ordinance that includes automatic five-year notice requirements for low-to-moderate income, elderly and/or handicapped residents; resident’s right to purchase time frame of no less than 180 days; and relocation costs for residents to move are at least $10,000. The draft ordinance would then be discussed in a future Housing Committee meeting. === In last week’s Council meeting, votes on Charter Reform <https://www.cambridgeday.com/2021/06/22/from-65-million-for-covid-to-drug-r…>, a reparations policy order, and two other issues were delayed, and will be voted on this week, so if you did not yet speak about these, you still can. You can sign up to speak in person or remotely here <https://www.cambridgema.gov/Departments/citycouncil/publiccommentsignupform> . *P**lease let the City Council know your thoughts, in your own words, *by emailing council(a)cambridgema.gov, and copy the Clerk at clerk(a)cambridgema.gov. Please BCC me, lee(a)leefarris.net, so we can know how many emails were sent. Feel free to forward.

To: PSNA <portersquare(a)googlegroups.com> Cc: Susan Hunziker <shunziker(a)comcast.net>, Janie Katz-Christy < jkatzchristy(a)gmail.com>, info <info(a)wardmaps.com>, Guitar Stop < guitarstop(a)hotmail.com>, Katherine Beaty <katherinebeaty(a)gmail.com> The link to the meeting and the materials is here: http://cambridgema.iqm2.com/Citizens/Detail_Meeting.aspx?ID=2923 I will be presenting at the meeting today as part of a Working Group of PSNA, small businesses along the Avenue, the Bicycle Safety Committee, and neighbors. We are asking the City to work with us to redesign Mass Ave from Harvard Square to Dudley St., but not only for bicycling safety. We need to look at the design of the whole Avenue, and use this opportunity to improve it as our community center. The Avenue has to work for all of us: safety for bicyclists, parking and loading (and continued outdoor dining) for our small businesses, an inviting location for our neighbors and visitors to shop and eat, and a safe place to walk and cross the street. The redesign should include offering better bus service and possibly putting this part of Mass Ave on a road diet to slow down traffic, introduce dedicated left turn lanes, create more, and safer, crosswalks, etc. I hope you can attend and speak up!
