| 1 | | | Resolution | Resolve: That it is the sense of the Malden City Council that the city must develop a plan to increase local revenue in the next 3-5 years to match projected future expenses. In addition to the regular annual inflation of city salaries and costs, currently projected expenses for the city include: capital investments for schools and city facilities; road and sidewalk construction and maintenance; priority projects such as the Malden River Works project and the Cultural Arts Center; pension and pension benefits costs for city staff and retirees; and Malden’s required contribution to the Northeast Metro Tech High School construction project. Additionally, increased required local contributions to education remain a significant liability under Massachusetts Chapter 70.
Malden should evaluate all possible local income sources to develop clear targets and a plan to meet these needs. This plan should include a strategic approach for using zoning and other tools to promote a sustainable rate of mixed-use development for growth in the commercial and residential tax base. It should also i | amended | Pass |

| 1 | | | Resolution | Resolve: That it is the sense of the Malden City Council that it is vital for our city’s future to have a fair requirement for local education funding, one that reflects the city’s true ability to pay as tied to our actual revenue sources. The Massachusetts Student Opportunity Act (SOA), now in its fourth year of implementation, is providing critical resources for the Malden Public Schools to support our students and families. With $9 million in new Chapter 70 state funds for next year, we are grateful to be able to hire new teachers and support staff for our students, who are 74% Black, Indigenous and People of Color, 63% low income, 23% English Language Learners, and 18% students with disabilities.
However, as the full SOA foundation funding formula is phased in, it is also dramatically raising Malden’s expected contribution to the schools beyond our ability to pay. Next year requires Malden to contribute $3.1 million more in local funding for schools, capturing 85% of the total expected increase in local tax revenue and receipts for the whole city. As a Gateway City, Malden is | amended | Pass |
