Medford City Council will hold a committee of the whole meeting on the subject next week.
The Medford City Council did not vote Tuesday night on a loan order from Mayor Michael J. McGlynn for nearly $3.2 million in water improvements.

Council President Robert Maiocco said the suggestion the loan order be discussed at the committee of the whole came from McGlynn. Councilor Michael Marks added that he had requested information from the city regarding its use of zero percent finance loans. Marks wanted to know the number of such loans the city has taken advantage of over the years. "I hope that information is part of this committee of the whole meeting so we…

Mayor says new DPW facility could be completed by late summer 2014.
The Medford City Council met with Mayor Michael J. McGlynn Tuesday to discuss the findings of a space needs study for the Department of Public Works. The document is expected to provide a guideline for a new DPW facility to be constructed at the location of the dilapidated, soon-to-be-demolished DPW yard on James Street.
