Monday Essentials: Officer DeNapoli Benefit Bill Up for Debate at City Council

Welcome to Monday Essentials, our weekly column taking a look at the week ahead. Here are five things to know about this week: 

1) Cooler week until Friday 

Looks like mostly a comfortable week temperature-wise. According to the National Weather Service most days this week will be in the 75-78 degree range with the temperatures hitting the 80s on Friday. We can also expect mostly sunny skies with a chance of rain on Thursday. 

2) Officer DeNapoli benefit bill 

According to a meeting notice sent out by City Clerk William Campbell, the bill on Officer Robert DeNapoli's benefit package will be taken up during the City Council meeting starting at 7 p.m. in the Council Chamber at City Hall. The officer was shot multiple times during a robbery in 2011. Mayor Galvin will present a new version of the bill.
