Re: Call For Emergency Special Meeting on July 21, 2025
Dear Interim Clerk Crane,
I am calling the City Council to convene for an emergency Special Meeting on July 21, 2025. The
call of the meeting is as follows:
“The City Council will hold a Special Meeting on Monday July 21, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. The purpose
of this meeting is to discuss litigation known as Said S. Abuzahra, Trustee of Equity Realty Trust,
et al. v. City of Cambridge related to the litigation. In addition, the City Council may move to
executive session in order to discuss strategy with respect to the litigation known as Said S.
Abuzahra, Trustee of Equity Realty Trust, et al. v. City of Cambridge (Mdsx. Super. Ct. Docket
No. 2017- cv-2459), executive session being necessary as discussion of this matter in open session
may have a detrimental effect on the litigating position of the City.”
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
_____________________________
