Why is there a DPW worker using a city owned piece of equipment to plow a private residence? Will they be doing this for every driveway in Chelsea because I would love to have my driveway plowed by the city free of charge. How about they work on the sidewalks or crosswalks which are still buried. My house is on kimball and it overlooks cook ave so I could see them very easily

Also the whole street does not have cars parked but it's a small path that is being done.

I agree with you and also agree because side streets are a mess and need more attention. I’m sure the appropriate people will look into and deal with this.

This issue has been reported and received. I have personally spoken to various members of management and they are dealing with it.
It would be unlawful for the city to speak on issues of personnel or any actions that may or may not have been taken pertaining to this matter. As with all other things, there is a process/ procedure that must be followed. I’m not sure what else can be done to satisfy everyone’s concern.
Thank you to the person that reported it- it is essential in continuing to hold folks accountable and continue the transparency in local government we all advocate for.

Councillor Vidot,
You will need to explain how it is unlawful to comment on this issue since it is no longer a personal matter since City resources were used. Is there a code/ordinance or anything you can cite on why releasing this information is unlawful? Can you attach what the policy/procedure is with releasing the information since city resources were used for a personal nature? Will the details of this be addressed in a meeting and the minutes released? Obviously your answer will not be satisfactory most Chelsea taxpayers since it's blatantly obvious that there was an abuse of power here.
Thank you for responding here but please just let the citizens know if you will be releasing information on this matter in near future, if not then we can pursue other avenues to get attention on this matter.

Chelsea Homeowner,
I believe you may be misconstruing personal and ‘personnel’. I’m not saying it is a personal matter and therefore we can’t discuss it.
What I am saying is that the person in question is City personnel, meaning an employee and therefore as their employer, the City of Chelsea can not divulge private information as it would be a violation of the employees rights. There are employment/labor laws that the city must abide by.
You can probably call our HR dept. on Tuesday and ask the director where to find that law and I’m sure they’d lead you in the right direction.
Look, I share your frustration. The reason I got involved in politics was because I was tired of misusing powers, lack of transparency, lack of communication & many other things. But we have a new City Manager and Directors in various departments that are working really hard to ensure that we are being fair and transparent and holding folks accountable. I assure you that I have personally spoken to folks to make sure they got to the bottom of it. And still, I don’t know what the outcome/punishment was because it’s illegal for them to violate employees privacy and disclose that info. I have to believe that they followed protocol & issued a warning/ suspensión and/or whatever appropriate avenue to address the issue.
I will respectfully ask that you, like me ‘trust’ that these new leaders in the DPW dept. are doing their due diligence, until they give us a reason to think otherwise.
I can be reached at (617) 958-1282, if you wish to discuss further.
