Parking exceptions in somerville

I'm told in cambridge, the parking folks are generally willing to look the other way if you're having a party and you give them advanced notice. Does Somerville have a similar policy?
Thanks

I was going to say, it makes sense to limit the number of vehicles.

Also, I have heard much about the Cambridge parking enforcement. But little about its generosity.

If you're having a party in Cambridge and you call and ask nicely 48 hours beforehand, they will not ticket or tow non-permit-having cars parked on your permit-parking-only street.

AFAICT Somerville requires $1/car for "one-time event passes" (see the first bullet point (http://www.somervillema.gov/section.cfm?org=traffic&page=916)), which is far less generous than Cambridge's just ask us first (http://www.cambridgema.gov/traffic/Consideration.cfm) policy (you can even ask Cambridge online (http://www.cambridgema.gov/CityOfCambridge_Content/forms/tpat_consideration2.cfm)).
