Recognizing May as Hyperemesis Gravidarum Awareness Month and May 15 as Hyperemesis Gravidarum Awareness Day.
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\froman\fprq2\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}{\f1\fnil\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}} {\colortbl ;\red0\green0\blue0;} \viewkind4\uc1\pard\nowidctlpar\tx2760\f0\fs24 Clerk Wells read the Resolution into the record. Councilor Clingan, speaking from personal experience, said that he wanted to raise awareness of this debilitating condition which is sometimes misdiagnosed. He commented that the HER (Hyperemesis Education & Research) foundation is celebrating its 25\super th\nosupersub anniversary and he sponsored Kimber MacGibbon, co-founder and Executive Director of HER, who is also a registered nurse and survivor of Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), to speak on the matter. \par Ms. MacGibbon told the council that her organization has helped 3 million women worldwide who are or were affected by HG, and that due to HER\rquote s research, a cause for the condition has been discovered. Because of the lack of knowledge about this condition, women are often being told that their symptoms are psychological. Ms. MacGibbon commented that after two decades of publishing studies on HG, little funding has been provided. She noted that mothers who get aggressive treatment early often avoid pre-term births and still births and she also stated that the recovery time sometimes takes a year. Additionally, children born to women with HG may have development complications.\par Councilor Strezo commented that women and all who can get pregnant are being gaslit and she asked what the barriers were to securing research funding. Ms. MacGibbon explained that there isn\rquote t a lot of pharmaceutical interest in HG and that very few companies are even working on it. She commented that Dr. Marlena Fejzo, an HG survivor and Director of Research at HER left her position at UCLA because the university would not fund her work. Overall, there is a lack of interest in the condition and it\rquote s not viewed as a priority to those who could potentially help. \cf1\f1\par }

That the city hereby adopts Chapter 329 of the Acts of 1987, An Act Increasing Local Control Over The Annual School Budget.
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\froman\fprq2\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}{\f1\fnil\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}} {\colortbl ;\red0\green0\blue0;} \viewkind4\uc1\pard\nowidctlpar\tx2760\f0\fs24 Councilor Scott assumed the Chair to allow President Davis to speak on this item. \par Councilor Davis explained that this Act allows a city council to consider a budget submitted by a school committee that is different from what a mayor has submitted. Councilor Wilson pointed out that even though this is state law, it still needs to be adopted by the City Council. Solicitor Amara explained that there is a discrepancy with the state\rquote s special legislation and that part of the law was not actually codified. She also explained that in a circumstance where a mayor does not approve a city council\rquote s action to approve a budget submitted by a school committee (that is different from a mayor\rquote s submittal), a 2/3 vote of the city council to override the mayor\rquote s veto would not be sufficient, as the mayor\rquote s signature is required. \par \pard Liaison Raddassi stated that the Administration is looking into this matter.\cf1\f1\par }

The base pay for police officers was increased by approximately $10,000 per year, the hazardous pay benefit was increased, language was included regarding the use of civilians for detail assignments, changes were made to the drug testing procedure and military leave language was included. Specifics of the civilian detail language still need to be solidified. Assistant Solicitor Sirigu said that the language is akin to that used in Cambridge and lays out some key points to be discussed between the union, Police Chief and other city departments. He also noted that there was no change to the use of body cameras.\cf1\f1\par Councilor Wilson moved for reconsideration of the item. The motion was not approved on a roll call vote of 0 in favor, 8 opposed (Mbah, Wilson, Ewen-Campen, Scott, Sait, Strezo, Clingan, Davis), 1 recused (McLaughlin), 2 absent (Burnley, Pineda Neufeld). \par }
