Waltham City Council approves $1.8M in labor funding, infrastructure spending. The Council allocated $678,550 for a three-year Teamsters union contract and $1,158,400 for non-union compensation increases, both through June 2028. Infrastructure financing of $1,591,316 was approved for water, sewer, and street projects on seven streets; a $2,125,684 loan authorization for the same work was first-read and tabled.
The Council confirmed Debra Catalanotti to the Council on Aging and Diane Lane to the Cemetery Commissioners, both unanimously. Three personnel promotions and six street-resurfacing projects were approved, and the Council overrode the Mayor's veto on two zoning orders by votes of 12-1 and 13-0.
