The supplemental budget contains funding for firefighters, funds the pension of a city employee serving in the military, and also adds $481,000 to the city's reserve account where it can be used in the event of an economic downturn or other financial challenge.

Costa, for his part, said that he had "legal concerns" but that he was "open to having the discussion." Ultimately, City Councilor Debra Botellio said that "we need to pass this for the sake of the people

Just over nine months after Sosabi Restaurant and Bar opened at 915 County St., taking over the space that served as longtime home of Portuguese food fixture O Gil, that space is now up for lease. North South Property Management posted Nov. 10 that a “fully operational, turnkey restaurant space” on County Street is “ready for its next owner/operator.” Kristin Teves, owner of North South Property Management, who has managed the property for over 20 years, told The Herald News that Sosabi restaurant has been closed for three to four months after it “failed miserably.” That included contending with noise ordinance violations , before the business was eventually evicted for nonpayment, she said.
