LATE FILE AGENDA
Thursday, October 12, 2017

L1.       WRITTEN MOTION, Councillor Martins, in support of Rosemary Heath, who lost her husband George in the 2016 Taunton Mall rampage, requesting that the New Bedford City Council send a letter of support to Facebook to change their legacy option, the current policy states that if a user is not named on your social media page after you pass, the page becomes locked, even for the spouse/partner, that people like Rosemary Heath have every intention to keep his memory alive through his Facebook page, sharing memories and pictures with his friends and family; and further, that Facebook not granting her access to her own husband’s page is an issue that is faced all around the world where the person you are committed to for life has no control of the social media page when you pass; furthermore, Facebook should allow for not only her, but for others to be the default legacy person and should notify them if someone is attempting to memorialize the account.

L2.     WRITTEN MOTION, Councillor Oliveira, requesting, that 934 Ashley Boulevard be Rezoned as MIXED-USE BUSINESS, in contrast to its current designation as RESIDENTIAL, abutting properties have been MIXED-USE BUSINESS for many years, and based on the historical use of 934 Ashley Boulevard, the request is valid.
