Mayor Bradshaw on Proposed Charter Amendment – June 18, 2021
Mayor Andrew Bradshaw
City of Cambridge
June 18, 2021
Good evening:
On the evening of June 16, I received an email including an essay that discussed the proposed amendment of the City of Cambridge’s Charter for the establishment of a Department of Human Resources. The essay indicates the clear dedication and concern of the author for the City’s well-being, but also contains incorrect assumptions and understanding, both of the proposal itself and of the language within the Charter of the City of Cambridge.
My response to the essay is attached. I hope this clarifies the matter, while also providing a more accurate view of the proposal and the present situation within the City of Cambridge
I appreciate everyone’s dedication to ensuring we make the best decisions for Cambridge. Only with this level of care can Cambridge succeed in all the ways we know are capable.
Best,
Mayor Andrew Bradshaw

Dear Readers:
Attached is my Cambridge Matters about a recent proposal that was scheduled to be heard by City Council this past Monday. I have received lots of questions and concerns about it and so have written the attached and also attached the proposal that was removed from the agenda on Monday for future consideration and possibly a work session.
I hope the attached help you to understand the issue and the solutions that I think are presently available under the current Charter to address them.
I welcome your thoughts. If you have views regarding the proposal or what I have offered, please let your Commissioner and the Mayor know or let all of them know.
