the 2022 City Council Inauguration

mayor@cambridgema.gov Phone: [phone removed] CITY OF CAMBRIDGE OFFICE OF THE MAYOR SUMBUL SIDDIQUI November 18, 2021 Dear Councillors, This communication is regarding the planning of the upcoming 2022 City Council Inauguration. In planning conversations with the Executive Assistant to the City Council, Naomie Stephen, we feel it would be prudent to observe a modified version of the usual event. The swearing-in ceremony can take place in-person on January 3, 2022, in the Sullivan Chamber, with masks and distancing observed. We would request that Councillors have a reduced number of invited guests and encourage the public to watch the event via the livestream/ZOOM. Given that the Inauguration will be observed soon after the holiday season (when we might anticipate a spike in virus spread), we propose postponing the usual reception to a later date, when an event can be planned outdoors, or when case numbers have improved. Please let me know your thoughts, or any questions you have regarding the Inauguration. Thank you, Sumbul Siddiqui Mayor
