Somerville needs poll inspectors
Polling place workers information session, 2 and 6 p.m. Tuesday. The city’s election department is hiring inspectors for the March 5 presidential primary election. These informational sessions will discuss basic knowledge of the polls and have attendees fill out paperwork to become city employees. IDs along with a passport, Social Security card or birth certificate are needed to fill out the paperwork. Inspectors must be registered voters in Massachusetts, but not necessarily in Somerville. Compensation for inspectors is $200 for the day. The sessions take place at Somerville City Hall, 93 Highland Ave., Central Hill. Registration for the sessions is required.
City asks about federal funds
Five-Year Consolidated Plan community meeting, 6:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday.

These yearly funds come from the federal government for housing and community development activities. To get the funds, the city has to create a five-year plan to decide where funding is needed; the 2024-2028 period is being discussed. The Tuesday meeting is at Bow Market, 1 Bow Market Way, Union Square, while Thursday’s meeting takes place via Zoom videoconferencing..
