Description
June 24, 2013, City Council Meeting
A
A
G
G
The
idea
came
to
me
after
sitting
and
talking
with
rich
lang
who
owns
lanes
balarama
of
having
a
weekly
event
where
food
trucks
would
be
parked
on
his
property
to
help
him
drive
summer
business
to
langsbalarama,
where
it's
very
slow.
Where
they're
losing
money,
where
they'd
like
to
have
more
summer
business,
they
embraced
the
idea
to
the
point
where
they
were
willing
to
shut
their
kitchen
to
bring
these
food
trucks
into
the
city.
G
There
are
probably
25
food
trucks
that
are
prepared
to
pay
a
250
a
year
fee
to
pay
for
a
license
to
be
itinerant,
food
vendor
in
cranston,
which
would
also
each
pay
the
1
meals
tax.
It
would
go
directly
back
to
the
city
in
exchange
for
being
able
to
sell
their
food
once
a
week
at
lanes
bolarama
and
also
be
able
to
serve
from
their
food
trucks
throughout
the
city
since
they've
had
that
idea.
G
This,
this
change
to
the
ordinance
has
come
up,
which
is
basically
said
that
they
have
to
park
within
a
thousand
feet
of
any
com,
food
business,
which
is
a
lot
of
ambiguity,
which
means
if
a
gas
station
is
selling
hot
dogs.
Does
that
mean
that
a
french
food
truck
can't
park
within
a
thousand
feet
of
that
gas
station
to
sell
food
from
the
street
from
their
truck?
G
These
food
trucks
are
small
businesses
that
grow?
They
often
will
rejuvenate
areas
of
cities
that
are
downtrodden.
They
will
often
look
for
areas
to
open
brick
and
mortars,
which
is
what
a
lot
of
their
goals
are,
and
there's
a
real
opportunity
for
cranston
to
to
have
an
opportunity
for
these
trucks
to
come
visit
places
like
langsbalarama
or
fiddlesticks
places
where
there
is
no
food
service
or
there
isn't
this
type
of
food
service.
G
G
My
last
point
is
that
there's
a
lot
of
confusion
about
whether
or
not
these
food
trucks
would
have
to
pay
an
additional
fee
above
the
250
dollar
itinerant
food
vendor
as
being
considered
temporary
structures
to
park
on
private
property.
There's
a
temporary
structure,
which
is
5.76
that
we've
been
told,
they'd
have
to
pay
a
hundred
dollar
fee
for
every
100
days
as
a
temporary
structure
to
be
on
private
property.
From
I'm
sorry,
I
was
told
I
only
had
four
minutes,
so
I
was
speeding
through
from
from
my
understanding.
G
Food
trucks
are
not
treated
as
temporary
structures
anywhere.
There
are
vehicles
that
come
in
they
park
for
two
to
three
hours,
and
then
they
leave.
You
know
asking
them
to
pay
a
250
a
year
fee,
plus
a
hundred
dollar
for
every
hundred
days,
as
a
temporary
structure
seems
very
and
then
just.
Lastly,
I'd
like
to
call
your
attention
that
5.04.100.
G
0.030
lists
the
fee
is
125
dollars
for
residents
at
150
for
non-residents,
so
the
food
trucks
are
looking
to
be
part
of
the
community
and
are
looking
for
a
way
to
do
business
in
cranston
that
supports
their
american
dream.
That
also
supports
the
city
and
does
not
put
any
of
the
brick
and
mortar
restaurants
that
are
here
in
jeopardy.
I
appreciate
your
time.
Thank
you.
I
Kelly
coats,
my
address
is
1414
atwood,
avenue,
johnson,
rhode
island.
I
also
have
an
address
at
one
thousand
chapel
view:
boulevard,
cranston,
rhode,
island,
I'm
here
to
speak
on
three
documented
items.
Mr
chairman,
the.
Mr
president,
the
first
of
those
items
is,
I
want
to
support
counseling
santa
maria's
motion
with
respect
to
the
food
trucks,
so
I
do
represent
the
many
many
restaurants
that
we
leased
to
within
the
city,
and
I
am
totally
in
support
of
small
business.
I
I
You
know
very
cautious
on
a
food
truck
who's
supposed
to
provide
the
bathroom
for
the
customers
which,
which
other
retail
facility
is
supposed
to
give
up
their
bathroom
and
have
a
non-paying
customer
come
in
and
use
it.
When
I
build
a
shopping
center,
I
have
very
careful
review
by
the
city
of
cranston.
They
come
in
and
look
where
my
cars
are
going
to
park
where
loading
is
going
to
happen
where
customers,
where
people
are
going
to
walk
to
and
from
and
those
public
safety
issues,
get
reviewed
by
the
police,
the
fire
and
planning.
I
Often
they
get
reviewed
by
this
council
and
that
doesn't
occur
with
the
food
truck
if
you
council
and
santa
maria
open
up
a
taco
business-
and
you
do
very
well
what's
to
keep
me
from
coming
up
and
pulling
my
taco
truck
on
the
curb
in
front
of
your
business
and
opening
that.
So
yes,
I'm
in
favor
of
the
changes
councilman
that
you
added
to
your
bill,
and
I
appreciate
that
that
you
have
to
protect
these
small
businessmen
who
stretch
out
who
they
have
the
toughest
time
paying
their
their
fees,
their
taxes
and
their
licenses.
I
I
I
We
would
like
to
close
on
that
on
july,
2nd,
and
the
only
thing
preventing
us
from
closing
that
before
state
properties
committee
is
the
waiver
of
the
city's
first
rider
refusal.
We
are
paying
250
000.
We
have
a
perpetual
easement
granted
by
the
legislature
for
drainage,
so
if
the
city
were
buying
that
they
would
have
to
buy
it
subject
to
all
of
my
easements,
it
also
is
encumbered
with
wetlands.
I
I
We
were
also
purchasing
the
training
school,
which
was
promised
to
go
for
sale
and
be
on
the
tax
rolls,
and
that
is
also
before
this
commission.
Technically,
it
was
offered
to
the
city
on
the
22nd
of
may
and
by
state
law,
if
you
don't
respond
within
30
days,
they're
free.
However,
this
is
an
important
development
project
and
the
state
properties
committee
wanted
to
hear
from
the
city
of
cranston
our
purchase
price
on
that
property
is
4.5
million.
We've
also
agreed
at
our
expense
to
knock
down
the
buildings.
I
I
At
the
chapel
view
project
in
95
we
spent
750
000
removing
asbestos
not
from
buildings
but
from
tunnels
under
the
ground,
and
so
that
is
the
total
compensation.
Finally,
in
the
purchase
of
sale
agreement,
which
you
would
have
to
step
into
my
shoes,
I
have
to
have
a
building
up
within
four
years,
and
if
I
do
not
the
property
reverts
to
the
state
of
city
to
the
state
of
rhode
island,
so
you
would
be
subject
to
the
same
limitations
as
I
would.
I
So
I
would
respectfully
request
that
you
enable
us
to
purchase
that
property
put
it
on
the
tax
rolls
we're
gonna,
be
shortly
coming
before
this
board
to
re-zone
the
property
for
chapel
view
phase
two
and
like
on
our
regular
chapel
view
that
pays
millions
of
dollars
in
tax
revenue.
We
hope
we
can
do
something
with
your
help.
That
will
be
a
major
major
tax
rateable
for
the
city.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
J
J
For
five
years
I
managed
a
restaurant
that
was
one
of
mr
coates
properties
and
never
once
in
that
five
years
did
anybody
did
we
feel
threatened
by
itinerant
vendors
trucks,
special
events
that
went
on,
we
actually
looked
for
anything
happening
in
the
chapel
view,
property
that
would
bring
foot
traffic
to
the
area.
We
wanted
all
the
businesses
in
that
particular
development
to
take
off.
It
was
a
long,
slow
process
and
I
understand
what
a
difficult
proposition
it
is
to
open
a
small
business.
J
I
stated
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
before
the
licensing
commission
that
in
opening
a
small
business
like
this
or
in
managing
a
small
business,
we
looked
at
the
synergy
created
by
a
variety
of
businesses,
including
food
businesses.
We
never
felt
threatened
by
them
and
we
never
wanted
to
threaten
them.
We
just
wanted
to
fit
in
and
take
our
fair
share
of
the
pie.
We
believe
there's
enough
out
there
for
everybody
to
succeed.
J
J
I've
seen
them
follow
the
regulations
that
are
laid
out.
They
are
not
an
unregulated
bunch
they're,
they
follow
the
rules
that
are
put
out
there
for
them,
and
there
are
rules
in
providence,
we'd
like
to
see
reasonable
legislation
here
in
cranston,
nothing
excessive,
but
certainly
something
that
would
make
it
fair
for
everybody,
and
I
you
know,
I
remember
the
comment
from
last
last
time
that
if
our
food
is
good
enough,
we
should
be
able
to
sell
a
thousand
feet
away
from
a
business.
J
K
L
L
I
think
we
have
to
stick
with
the
brick
and
mortar
people
that
are
going
to
maximize
the
returns
to
the
city.
You
know,
like
I
said
you
know,
they're
paying
a
small
fee
and
they're
paying
the
one
percent
back.
It's
it's!
It's
a
drop
in
the
bucket,
but
compared
to
what
a
brick
and
mortar
has
to
do
with
licensing
site
plan
review
parking.
L
You
know
we
there's
there's
a
there's,
a
tremendous
amount
of
issues
that
go
into
opening
a
restaurant,
never
mind
with
the
fact
that
it's
a
very
tough
economy
right
now
so
again,
my
members
of
the
brick
and
mortar
community
and
the
restaurants
and
we're
here
to
support
them
tonight
and
we
urge
passengers.
Mr
santa
maria's
motion.
Thank
you.
M
My
name
is
karen
krinsky.
I
live
at
86
jackson
street
in
warwick
I
own,
like
no
udder,
it's
a
non-dairy
soft-serve
ice
cream
truck,
I'm
in
my
fourth
season
and
pretty
much
in
all
in
all
four
seasons.
I've
decided
to
basically
only
operate
in
providence,
with
the
exception
of
one
year
in
warwick,
and
the
reason
why
I've
continued
in
providence
and
not
in
warwick
was
the
friendliness
and
openness
the
ability
to
be
able
to
operate
in
providence.
M
The
events
that
I've
done,
the
kinds
of
businesses
that
exist
there
for
the
kind
of
project
that
I
currently
sell.
We
we
support
each
other
so,
for
example,
as
a
strict
vegetarian
business
I
like
to
recommend
to
people
where
they
can
eat
where
they
can
get
food
at
brick
and
mortar
businesses,
and
so
I
have
people
coming
from
all
over
the
state
to
my
truck,
because
you
can't
find
my
product
anywhere
else
and
then
they're
spending
their
money
at
other
locations
that
I've
recommended
to
them.
M
In
fact,
you
can
go
to
my
website
and
I
have
a
list
of
restaurants
all
over
the
state
that
people
can
find
vegetarian
options.
So
I
do
feel
like
there
is
a
way
to
create
more
interest
in
brick
and
mortar
businesses
through
food
trucks,
we're
not
out
to
take
business
away
from
them.
I
really
feel
like
we
can
create
a
community
and
I've
been
featured
in
a
couple
of
national
magazines.
People
would
like
me
to
franchise
my
business
and,
quite
honestly
in
rhode
island.
M
N
Mr
president,
my
name
is
bob
coleman.
I
live
at
95
alpine
state's
drive
in
grandstand
and
I
operate
a
business,
branston,
delhi
and
pub
over
on
park
avenue.
Now
I
respect
the
the
food
service
business
in
in
all
manners,
but
I
have
to
support
councilman
santa
maria
in
this.
In
that
I
know
it
would
affect
my
business,
which
is
like
most
brick
and
mortar
businesses
has
its
peak
hours.
These
are
the
peak
hours
that
the
trucks
want
to
operate.
N
I
believe
that
was
even
referred
to
earlier
in
the
conversations
or
debates
if
I
were
to
have,
it
has
not
affected
me.
Yet
if
I
were
to
have
a
truck
within
250
feet
of
my
business,
I
would
consider
it
completely
unfair
with
the
disproportionate
amount
of
taxes
that
we
do.
We
do
pay
as
a
brick
and
mortar
operation
so
without
having
really
studied
the
situation
that
much
I
I
I
will
admit
that
this
is
a
not
in
my
backyard
situation
for
me,
but
I
just
want
to
get
as
a
tax
payer.
O
My
name
is
nicole
anderson.
I
live
at
144
carpenter
street
in
providence
and
I
do
not
own,
but
I
do
operate
a
coffee
truck
that
is
registered
in
the
city
of
cranston
but
operates
exclusively
outside
the
city
of
cranston.
Unfortunately,
so
I'd
like
to
address
a
couple
of
things
that
people
have
said
earlier,
first
of
all,
no
one
who
runs
a
food
truck
in
rhode
island
ever
wants
to
see
a
brick
and
mortar
business
go
out
of
business
because
the
food
truck
parked
next
to
it.
O
No
one
wants
to
see
any
brick
and
mortar
go
out
of
business.
For
any
reason
overwhelmingly
I
mean
I
have
a
coffee
truck,
so
I'm
not
a
chef,
but
overall
only
food
trucks
are
that
food
trucks
run
by
chefs
who
are
friends
with
chefs.
They
all
hang
out
together,
they're
all
friends
on
twitter
and
on
facebook,
and
they
share
each
other's
statuses
and
tweets
incessantly.
O
If
you
want
to
find
out
where
to
go
to
eat
in
a
restaurant,
ask
a
food
truck
owner,
so
the
threat
of
food
trucks
to
brick
and
mortar
businesses
is
true.
A
truck
could
scare
a
restaurant,
but
it's
not
going
to
put
a
restaurant
out
of
business.
No
sane
taco
truck
owner
is
ever
in
one
million
years,
going
to
park
in
front
of
a
taco
restaurant
and
compete
with
them
selling
tacos.
O
You
want
to
go,
find
people
who
are
looking
for
street
food,
not
people
who
are
going
to
look
to
sit
down
a
nice
air-conditioned
place
with
a
bathroom,
which
is
another
thing
that
we
need
to
address.
No
one
spends
time
at
a
food
truck
in
the
way
they
do
in
a
restaurant.
And
so
where
do
you
go
to
the
bathroom
the
same
place?
You
go
to
the
bathroom
whenever
you
go
to
a
park
or
out
in
the
public
to
do
kinds
of
things
that
you
do
when
you're
sort
of
out
and
about
in
recreating.
O
I
understand
that
protecting
small
businesses
is
important,
but
it
seems
to
be
that
over
and
over
it
sounds
like
truck.
Owners
are
not
also
considered
small
businesses,
and
if
we
were
all
members
of
the
chamber
of
commerce,
would
the
president
of
the
chamber
of
commerce
be
supporting
this
bill
in
the
same
way,
we're
not
really
inspired
to
become
members,
because
so
far
cranston
seems
like
an
iffy
place
to
do
business,
but
we
all
want
to
do
business
here.
O
Another
thing
that
I
want
to
address
is
this
temporary
structure.
Permit
that
I'm
not
really
clear
on
how
the
wording
goes
as
an
itinerant
food
and
vendor.
I
have
to
pay
a
250
or
as
a
truck
registered
in
cranston
a
200
annual
fee,
and
then
I'm
also
considered
a
temporary
structure
where
I
have
to
pay
another
hundred
dollars
for
a
hundred
day
permit,
and
I
believe
that
the
wording
in
the
law
is
that
I
cannot
have
this
permit
more
than
120
days
out
of
any
year,
which
really
limits
doing
business
in
cranston.
If
that's
enforced.
O
So
in
providence,
where
most
of
the
food
trucks
operate,
food
truck
owners
do
not
have
an
ordinance
that
tells
them
how
many
feet
they
can
or
cannot
be
around
an
existing
business,
but
because
we're
really
cool
people
who
like
to
hang
around
with
really
cool
restaurant
owners.
We
have
a
coat
of
conduct
that
we
regulate
ourselves
with
and
we
don't
go
within
200
feet.
O
No
one
takes
out
a
tape
measure
and
no
one
makes
sure
that
it's
200
feet,
but
nobody
wants
any
problems
we
want
people
to
enjoy
food
food
is
one
thing
that
all
human
beings
have
in
common.
We
all
do
it,
whether
we're
mother,
teresa
or
osama
bin
laden-
and
we
all
like
to
celebrate
things
with
food
truck
owners,
brick
and
mortar
owners.
O
We
all
want
to
play
together
nicely
think
that
if
cranston
could
adopt
a
more
reasonable
amount
of
feet
where
a
truck
could
be
within
a
near
a
brick
and
mortar
business
trucks
would
rush
here
and
start
doing
business
right
away.
I
think
that
the
citizens
of
cranston
would
really
love
the
opportunity
to
have
food
trucks
in
their
neighborhoods
and
no
one
wants
to
see
a
brick
and
mortar
restaurant
owner
get
upset
for
any
reason.
O
So
if
the
food
trucks
go
some
places,
someone
gets
mad
about
we're
not
going
to
feel
welcome
there
we're
not
going
to
want
to
stay
there.
I
would
never
park
my
coffee
truck
in
front
of
another
coffee
shop.
It
doesn't
make
any
sense
for
my
business
or
for
the
coffee
shops
and
it
doesn't
do
any
good
for
my
own
reputation.
P
P
My
wife
and
I
go
to
providence
regularly
to
check
out
the
new
food
trucks
and
when
we're
there
we
all
be
browsed.
She
loves
to
shop,
so
we
walk
around
and
go
in
different
shops.
I
think
to
not
embrace
what's
going
on
in
the
united
states
now
we
should
be
embracing
these
food
trucks
to
come
here.
I
think
a
thousand
feet
that's
333
yards.
I
can
only
think
in
terms
of
football
field,
so
that's
like
three
football
fields,
so
it
seems
pretty
far.
P
P
Q
Hello,
my
name
is
vinnie
donoval
1710,
playfield
pike,
cranston,
rhode,
island,
I'm,
the
owner
of
39
west.
I
support
richard
santa
maria,
like
she
was
saying
earlier.
There's
a
250
dollar
fee.
We
have
a
lot
more
fees
that
are
involved
sewer
fees
per
unit
in
our
unit.
We
have
four
units:
it's
over
four
thousand
dollars
for
just
sewer
fees,
whether
or
not
you
have
a
kitchen,
a
restroom
or
no
water.
We
still
pay
four
thousand
dollars
a
year,
plus
tangible
taxes.
Q
Q
H
H
Has
specific
time
elements
that
I
have
to
adhere
by
and
the
board
has
to
adhere
by
once
someone
appeals.
I
have
20
days
to
answer
once
it
goes
to
the
board.
They
have
30
days
to
schedule
a
meeting
and
then
another
45
days
to
answer
after
that,
so
requiring
permission
for
more
than
five
meetings
a
month
would
cause
some
of
these
problems.
If
I
go
past
those
dates,
I
actually
have
to
call
the
state
send
a
letter
to
them
and
get
permission
from
the
director
of
administration.
H
Another
part
in
this
is
versus
the
alternate
member
was
going
to
be
compensated
at
the
same
rate
as
a
regular
member,
but
then
the
very
next
section
says
that
they're
only
going
to
be
meeting
be
receiving
25
per
meeting
when
they
actually
sit
down
so
there's
some
type
of
conflict
in
the
wording
of
the
ordinance.
At
that
point,.
H
H
A
B
R
S
S
I
had
a
little
discussion
on
the
phone
that
well,
you
know
what
happens
if
indicating
that
there's
some
doubt
of
whether
they
want
to
want
this
to
happen.
They
the
deacon
that
I
spoke
with,
said
what
happens
if
the
business
changes
you
know
does
the
liquor
license
go
with
the
new
business
and
then
she
also
mentioned
that
another
business
on
the
street
very
close,
had
asked
permission
for
the
same
kind
of
permission
and
hadn't
gotten
it.
S
A
E
President
does
the
sponsor
know
that
at
this
late
stage
of
the
general
assembly
period,
if
we
put
this
back
in
committee,
it
probably
won't
get
to
passed
before
the
end
of
the
session
and
it'll
go
to
january.
Just
you
know
a
dose
of
reality
to
the
applicant.
If,
if
we
don't
get
this
movement
soon,
you
know
they're
already
doing
the
budget
now.
So
I
I
I
you
know,
I
know
you
you
want
to
help
them
out,
but
I
just
wanted
to
throw
that
out.
There.
S
S
A
E
S
B
S
B
T
T
E
It
this
way
we
told
the
gentleman
that
he
had
to
go
through
getting
the
letter
from
the
church
and
the
general
assembly
process
he
nodded
his
head.
So
he
understood
what
we
were
saying
right
and
councilman.
Psychos
has
now
told
me
he
hasn't
got
a
letter,
so
he
either
didn't
understand
or
he
needs
a
phone
call.
E
T
A
C
Councilman
favecchio,
thank
you,
council
president.
Yet
this
I
I've
looked
at
this
and
I
know
this
area
really
well.
This
is
the
detention
pond
that
mr
coats
talked
about
and
the
training
school
property
all
rolled
into
this
one
resolution
and
it
it's
a
large
piece
of
property,
but
you've
got
a
lot
of
wetlands
and
then
you've
got
the
training
school
property
when
we
can
convert
four
and
a
half
million
into
taxable
land
which
it
wouldn't
be
if
the
city
owned
it.
C
U
S
K
C
We
received
there's
a
letter.
You'll
you'll
see
it
in
there
there's
a
letter
from
the
state
department
of
administration,
talking
about
disposition
of
surplus
state
property
and
they're
advising
the
city.
It
was
may
22nd
that
the
letter
went
out
and
received
in
early
june,
so
we're
just
taking
care
of
it
in
a
normal
course.
C
A
D
S
U
S
S
B
E
F
Thank
you,
council
president,
I
guess
to
be
camouflaged
by
the
camera
again,
but
resolution
authorizing
city
to
consent,
the
mutual
aid
agreement
with
the
city
of
warwick
and
the
town
of
johnston
with
respect
to
its
police
departments.
This
passed
unanimously
from
orders
committee
who
obtained
a
motion
to
approve.
U
V
U
U
B
U
S
F
B
S
A
U
A
S
E
S
S
The
committee
felt
that
it
would
be
better
to
pay
people
an
annual
salary
rather
than
a
per
meeting
salary.
You
know
there
was
a
amendment
on
the
the
paying
the
alternates
per
meeting.
There
was
an
amendment
on
that
minutes
should
be
kept,
including
the
reasons
for
the
denial
of
each
appeal
and
term
limits
on
the
assessment
board.
So
there
were
four
amendments.
C
Does
that
address
the
issue
of
the
1250
per
year?
Does
that
address
the
issue
that
the
assessor
brought
up
about
when
they
need?
They
certainly
wouldn't
be
paid
more
if
they
needed
to
be
present
at
more
than
five
meetings
per
month?
In
other
words,
if
they
had
a
deadline
to
meet
and
they
had
to
meet
an
extra
time,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
I
don't.
S
C
B
Yes,
I'd
like
to
offer
two
amendments,
if
I
may,
on
section
I
guess
four
or
five
there
should
be,
there
shall
be
no
more
than
one
meeting
per
day
with
a
maximum
of
25
per
count
a
year.
I'd
like
to
amend
that
to
say
as
needed
to
the
to
I
guess
as
needed,
so
that
way
that
they're
not
limited
to
only
meaning
25
times.
B
Right
now,
the
way
it
reads
it
says
that
you
can
only
meet
25
times
per
calendar
year
with
reassessment
coming
up,
not
that
I
want
to
go
into
discussion,
but
reassessment
coming
up.
It
should
be
as
needed
so
that
when
they
do
revaluation,
if
they
have
to
meet
30
times
or
40
times,
you
know
they
can
meet
that
and
it's
not
going
to
make
a
difference
because
the
salary
is
per
year.
So
I
don't
want
to
limit
the
tax
border
review
to
the
violation
of
the
law.
T
S
B
S
S
U
S
F
A
U
A
B
R
Are
a
couple
of
changes
council,
president
to
the
ordinance
since
first
introduced
they've
been
characterized
as
scrivener's
errors
or
little
tweaks,
but
I
want
to
fully
explain
before
the
council,
given
the
litigious
nature
of,
what's
been
happening
so
far
with
our
various
customers
of
the
sewer
system,
but
this
can
be
explained
by
the
public
works
director
myself,
the
various
changes
and
I
can
go
on
for
next
month's
full
council.
I
met
with
him
this
morning
and
talked
with
him
and
he's
fine
with
that
procedure.
A
C
K
B
B
E
F
A
E
Council
president,
I'm
just
a
little
concerned
again
for
the
mom
and
pops
and
the
small
operations
that
sell
tobacco.
Fifty
dollars
doesn't
sound
like
a
lot
to
a
lot
of
people,
but
to
them
it
is
a
lot
of
money,
the
big
conglomerates
to
sell
cigarettes.
This
is
a
drop
in
the
bucket.
I
just
we've
tried
this
before
and
under
the
guise
of
it
stops
kids
from
smoking
doesn't
stop
kids
from
smoking.
E
A
B
Mosquito
all
right,
thank
you,
mr
president,
to
councilman
san
maria.
I
I
understand
your
concerns.
However,
if
you
look
at
that
industry
and
you
look
at
well,
I
guess
it's
relevant.
It
might
not
be
relevant,
but
you
look
at
violations
of
selling
cigarettes
to
minors
and
whatnot
statistics.
Statistics
will
show
you
that
it's
the
small
business
that
is
in
violation
overwhelmingly
more
than
50
percent
of
the
time
when
it
comes
to
selling
cigarettes
to
miners,
as
opposed
to
the
major
corporations
who
have
trained
pruning
training
programs
that
are
open
to
everybody.
B
F
Thank
you,
president.
Through
the
chair
to
the
sponsor
of
the
legislation,
councilman
steichos,
just
to
inform
the
general
public,
you
want
to
increase
the
license
fee
from
what
amount
currently
to
what.
What's
the
increase
from
100
to
150
100
to
150,
and
do
we
have
an
estimate
what
that
would
generate.
F
U
B
S
A
E
F
S
So
I
understand
that
concern.
I
don't
think
it's
it's
fair
to
just
say:
oh,
it
won't
happen,
but
I
also
think
a
thousand
feet
is
a
long
way,
as
somebody
pointed
out
three
football
fields
so
picture
yourself
at
cranston
stadium
and
at
one
end
of
the
at
one
end
of
the
field,
and
that
you'd
have
to
go
three
lengths
to
get
to
where
the
food
truck
wouldn't
be
interfering
with
the
the
the
restaurant.
E
As
I
told
you
in
committee
the
day
after
mother's
day,
I
got
phone
calls
from
practically
every
flower
shop
in
the
city
saying
that
the
continent
vendors
were
selling
flowers
for
a
dollar,
a
piece
hurting
their
business
and
that's
with
a
thousand
foot
radius
again.
A
thousand
foot
radius,
I
think
is,
is
a
good
standard
because,
like
you
said
just
now,
they
say
it
won't
happen,
but
it
can
happen.
E
They
can
put
their
identity
food
truck
right
on
the
curb
the
middle
of
the
street
and
hurt
these
businesses,
and
I
know
for
a
fact
I
have
many
businesses
in
ward
5.
As
we
all
know,
we
have
the
best
restaurants
in
town
bar,
none
they're,
hurting,
I've
talked
to
them,
they're
hurting
they're,
just
getting
by
this
will
hurt
them
more.
I
think
a
thousand
feet
is
more
than
fear.
I
mean
you
make
it
sound
like
it's
it's
in
in
in
seattle,
washington,
it's
not
again,
they're
saying
they
have
good
food
trucks.
E
I
don't
doubt
that
I'm
not
here
to
hurt
them.
I
frequent
a
food
truck
in
providence.
As
ron
probably
knows
he
sees
me
there
every
day
I
I
like
their
french
fries
and
I
like
their
hot
dogs.
I
like
their
hamburgers,
but
I
also
know
that
if
you,
if
they
parked
in
front
eddies,
eddies
and
sons,
would
probably
complain,
and
they
would
have
every
right
to
because
when
you
walk
to
the
restaurant
and
you
get
intercepted
by
a
food
truck
you're
not
going
to
go
into
the
restaurant,
because
you've
already
eaten
you're,
not
hungry
anymore.
E
Unless
you
really
want
to
go
to
that,
restaurant
you'll
go
around
the
food
truck,
but
I
think
it's
more
than
fear
and
I
think
it's
unfair.
If
you
cut
down
for
itinerant
food
vendors
and
keep
the
flower
vendors
at
a
thousand,
it's
not
working
for
the
flower
event
is
now
so
I
won't
be
supporting
this
amendment.
U
I
just
to
comment
on
councilman
santa
maria's
concern
about
the
flower
vendors
being
similar
to
the
food
trucks.
I
don't,
I
don't
think
it's
this
apples
to
apples
situation
because
there
isn't
like
a
taco
day,
there's
a
there
isn't
a
day
like
mother's
day
or
something
like
that
where
you
really
are
targeting
that
one
day
for
selling
the
food.
So
I
I
I
find
that
the
thousand
feet
seems
like
a
a
very
long
distance.
So
I
support
the
500
feet
seems
like
a
compromise,
because
I
think
200
feet.
F
Thank
you,
president.
Well
due
respect
to
my
colleague
from
what
one
and
I
and
I
understand
his
position
in
lieu
of
the
testimony
we
heard
this
evening
from
a
number
of
restaurant
owners
and
business
establishments
who
profess
that
they
there
is
difficult
economic
times
and
in
competition
with
vendors,
who
have
very
little
overhead
pertaining
to
a
restaurant
who
has
heard
you
know,
sewer
fees,
utility
fees
and
numerous
other
costs
to
run
that
establishment.
C
You,
council
president,
I've
listened
to
the
hearings
at
the
committee
meetings
and
and
tonight
as
well
a
couple
of
things
that
I've
noticed
when
we
some
of
the
people
discussed
providence,
and
there
is
a
tremendous
amount
of
trucks
in
providence.
But
providence
is
a
different
city,
spread
it's
bigger
and
spread
out,
there's
more
neighborhoods
that
may
not
have
restaurants,
I
mean
cranston
is
really
full
of
restaurants.
We
have
a
ton
and
I
think
that
thousand
feet
is
not
as
far
as
you
as
you
might
think.
C
I
always
think
in
my
ward
of
in
garden
city
from
newport
creamery
to
saganasa
crossroad,
I'm
sure
is,
is
a
thousand
feet
is
or
less
I
mean
this.
You
can
get
pretty
close
500
feet,
you're
not
going
to
be
very
far
from
some
of
these
places
and
a
couple
of
things
that
were
mentioned
in
the
committee
meeting
about
hope,
highlands
about
maybe
being
near
the
ball
fields.
C
But
I
was
pointed
out
to
me
that
we
have
youth
organizations
that
have
the
concessions
at
some
at
cranston,
stadium
and
and
at
hope,
highlands
and,
and
they
depend
on
the
revenue
from
their
concessions
to
help
support
those
youth
organizations
so
and
they're
nonprofit,
and
it
helps
the
community
helps
the
kids
in
the
city.
So
I
think
we
have
a
balance.
We
have
to
balance
the
different
competing
interests
and
our
restaurants
pay
a
lot
in
meals
tax.
C
I
don't
know
how
much
we
receive
from
the
from
the
itinerant
vendors
in
the
meals
attacks
to
the
city,
but
I
asked
mr
strom
earlier.
He
really
didn't
didn't
know
if
he
could
segregate
that
number,
but
I
think
that
we
need
to
support
the
businesses
that
spend
the
thousands
and
thousands
of
dollars,
and
I
don't
think
this
precludes
the
the
itinerant
vendors
from
from
getting
on
to
certain
areas.
C
He
still
would
have
to
get
the
permit.
I
believe-
and
I
don't
think
two
or
three
hundred
dollars
is
an
awful
lot
of
money.
For
you
know
four
or
five
month
license
it's
a
lot
cheaper
than
rent
and
not
having
to
go
through
all
the
inspections
that
the
other
bricks
and
mortar
restaurants
have
to
do
so.
I'm
I'm
not
going
to
support
the
amendment.
I
think
a
thousand
feet
is
a
proper
dimension.
S

Congratulations.
Thank
you.
Council
president
right
now,
itinerant
food
vendors
aren't
the
only
ones
who
would
have
to
pay
a
temporary
structural
license.
Businesses
throughout
the
city
have
to
pay
temporary
structural
licenses
now
for
tents,
anything
that's
temporary
structure.
The
clerk
has
contacted
senator
miller,
who
had
brought
up
some
points
about
it
that
they
do
have
to
apply
for
a
temporary
structural
license
because
they
have
a
temporary
structure.
They're
not
going
to
be
there
forever.
B
A
B
R
R
R
D
B
B
R
Know
I
don't
want
to
get
into
all
the
nuances
of
it,
because
clearly
I
don't
have
a
vote,
but
you
know,
let's
say,
for
example,
if
you
are
mario's
whatever
and
you
give
your
friend
permission
to
be
on
your
property
and
then
your
property
is
within
a
thousand
foot
of
someone
else's
property.
Does
that
run
or
follow
the
ordinance.
E
Council
president
you're
running
councilman
cedar
you're
running
into
the
fact
that
some
people
are
going
to
have
to
pay
a
temporary
structural
license
and
some
aren't
everyone
along
the
feast
route
pays
temporary
structure
when
they
put
up
a
tent
and
with
the
fireworks
ordinance.
We
did
the
same
thing.
We
told
them,
they
had
to
rent
a
place
and
have
a
prim
a
permanent
structure,
even
if
it
was
seasonal.
E
So
I
I
I
think,
yeah
we've
always
had
this
for
temporary
structures
temporary
structure.
This
is,
unless
you
take
the
wheels
off
these
trucks,
they're
temporary
structures
and
the
only
madam
clerk
when
she
sent
the
letter
said
private
property
owner
with
a
letter
to
the
council
can
have
a
temporary
structure,
a
la
the
fee
society
which
has
the
sausage
truck
and
they
pay
a
temporary
license
fee
to
have
that
sources
truck
there.
I
don't
want
to
stop
putting
including
the
itinerant
food
vendors
in
a
certain
caste
system.
I
think
we
all
pay
the
same.
U
U
R
U
R
S
So
if
I
could
just
finish
so,
if
somebody
wanted
to
park
a
food
truck
in
a
certain
spot
and
there
were
five
restaurants
within
a
thousand
feet.
If
the
food
truck
owner
received
written
permission
from
those
five
restaurants,
then
the
food
truck
could
park
there,
even
though
they
were
with
a
thousand
feet.
So
that's
the
idea
of
the
amendment
I
can
say
the
wording
here
in
the
second
of
councilman
santa
maria
seems
to
be
eager
to
comment.
E
A
A
E
Thank
you,
council
president.
This
doesn't
solve
councilman,
favicio's
garden
city
problem.
This
doesn't
solve
a
problem.
If
you
have
restaurants
that
don't
own
the
property
that
rent
the
property
such
as
39
west,
it's
owned
by
they
they
rent
it
out.
You'd
have
to
get
the
property
owner
to
agree
to
it
too.
You
get
there's
too
many
moving
parts
now,
because
even
some
leases
have
the
fact
that
you
can't
have
two
restaurants
in
one
strip,
mall
you're,
making
too
many
moving
parts.
You're
gonna,
it's
gonna
cause
more
consternation
between
businesses.
E
C
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
mean
in
theory.
I
think
it
sounds
like
what
councilman
stycos
is
proposing
is
not
all
that
bad,
because
it
puts
the
burden
on
the
on
the
itinerant.
Vendors
have
to
go
out
and
get
approval
from
all
of
the
restaurants
in
that
thousand
foot
radius,
which
is
not,
which
is
not
an
easy
task,
but
if
they
all
agree,
that's
fine.
C
You
know
you
have
to
one
thing
you
have
to
remember,
though,
is
now
someone
has
to
draw
that
1000
foot
radius
and
determine
who
was
in
there
and
there's
a
cost
to
that,
and
that's
going
to
create
a
little
more
bureaucracy
just
to
do
that,
because
the
city
is
going
to
have
to
certify
who
is
in
that
that
radius
similar
to
zoning
issues.
So
you
know,
I
understand
the.
I
think
it's
not
not
the
worst
idea,
I
think
it
may
present.
C
F
F
If
you
have
four
restaurants
on
a
location,
a
vendor
has
three
out
of
four
will
probably
go
to
that
location
and
try
to
sell
his
goods,
and
at
that
point
one
restaurant
may
and
restaurant
didn't
give.
He
make
the
agreement,
we'll
probably
call
the
cranston
police,
and
we
have
now
our
safety
services
personnel
tied
down
or
with
something
frizzle
or
frivolous,
such
as
selling
goods
in
a
certain
private
area
in
less
than
a
thousand
feet
radius.
F
F
U
U
Sort
of
is
it
you
know,
so
maybe
it
is
worthwhile
for
these
businesses
or
the
food
trucks
to
come
to
agreement
with
a
certain
area
that
they
wanted
to
serve
to.
I
don't
know
so
in
sort
of
hopes
of
helping
the
small
businesses
in
some
way.
I
think
that's
not
a
bad
bad
way
and
food
trucks
are
small
businesses
as
well,
so
I'm
in
favor
of
it
thanks.

A
A
B
Discussion
on
the
motion
yeah,
mr
president,
I
I
think,
if
I
recall
correctly,
this
person
wasn't
at
the
last
safety
services
meeting.
I
you
know
it's
somewhat
controversial
because
it's
above
the
gap-
and
I
wanted
to
speak
to
her
to
see
about
you-
know
seeing
what
her
hours
of
operation
would
be
so
that
we
could
perhaps
offer
a
license.
You
know
just
for
the
hours
of
operation
I
mean
I
mean
if
everybody
chooses
fine
I'll,
withdraw
the
motion.
We
send
it
back
to
committee,
but
at
this
point
she's
missed.
E
D
When
she,
with
regard
to
the
last
safety
services
meeting
the
special
meeting,
she
had
been
informed
at
the
regular
meeting.
It
was
going
to
be
on
that
date.
After
that
meeting,
when
she
didn't
attend,
I
tried
contacting
her
and
kimberly.
O'brien
in
my
office
tried
contacting
her.
Her
mailbox
was
full.
We
could
not
get
through.
D
R
B
R
A
B
E
Thank
you
just
want
to
put
a
shout
out
to
rachel
bluestein
she's,
a
sixth
grader
at
woodridge
elementary
school,
and
she
won
the
rhode
island,
art,
educators,
association's
flag,
drawing
contest.
There's
a
citation
here
for
her.
If
she's
watching
on
tv
just
want
to
say,
congratulations
and
we're
very
proud
of
you
as
a
council.
Thank
you,
council
president.
A
V
V
I
just
wanted
to
rise
and
thank
the
city
administration
and
the
fire
chief
for
a
position
they
took
on
an
issue
three
weeks
ago
that
just
cropped
up,
and
I
wanted
the
council
to
be
aware
of
it.
Everyone
knows
about
the
ins
what's
going
on
in
central
coventry,
because
people
don't
want
to
pay
their
taxes,
they
had
to
close
three
of
their
five
fire
stations
and
what
what
their
plan
was
is
to
use
surrounding
cities
and
towns
for
their
fire
service.
V
Three
weeks
ago,
the
cranston
fire
department
popped
up
on
their
dispatch
cards,
an
engine,
a
ladder
and
a
chief,
and
we
started
getting
responses
dispatches
to
central
coventry.
Now
we
went
when
we're
dispatched,
but
when
we
looked
into
it
when
the
fire
chief
looked
into
it,
the
town
of
carpentry
or
central
coventry
specific
had
put
cranston
fire
apparatus
on
their
dispatch
sheets
without
even
asking
the
city
of
cranston
if
they
come
into
their
town.
V
The
next
due
fire
apparatus
to
that
end
of
the
city
takes
12
to
15
minutes
to
get
there
if
it's
a
rescue
run,
if
someone's
had
a
heart
attack,
12
to
15
minutes
isn't
going
to
do
it
and
if
it's
a
fire,
we're
going
to
lose
the
house
in
12
to
15
minutes.
So
again,
I
thank
them
for
taking
the
stance.
They
did
tell
them.
V
If
there's
a
fire
in
central
coventry
or
a
rescue
run
that
they
need
us
for,
of
course,
we'll
go,
but
we're
not
going
to
be
doing
automatic
mutual
aid
and
that's
what
they
wanted
us
to
do
right
now,
we're
under
the
mutual
aid
agreement
and
that's
if
they
have
an
incident
we
go,
but
they
used
automatic
mutual
aid
which
sent
us
to
different
parts
of
central
coventry
when
there
wasn't
even
an
incident,
just
a
reported
incident.
So
again
I
want
to
make.

Unlike
some
of
the
councils
that
I've
been
on
in
the
past,
we
seem
to
work
very
well
together
and
that's
to
your
credit
as
individuals
we've
put
in
body
politics
aside
and
we
work
for
what's
best
for
the
city.
I
think
everybody
here
for
doing
their
job
and
supporting
my
leadership
council,
member
communications,
councilman
stykos.
X
Councilman
cycles
to
address
the
concern
regarding
parkview
middle
school.
Not
only
has
the
administration
been
on
top
of
the
department
of
recreation
to
remind
the
little
leagues
and
other
participants
at
the
parkview
fields
not
to
park
their
cars
there,
but
we
have
sent
the
police
to
also
speak
to
them
to
get
them
to
cooperate.
X
X
What
we
are
probably
going
to
do
is
talk
to
the
league
again
to
you
know,
let
them
self-police
and
if
we
see
that
we're
not
getting
cooperation,
we're
gonna
have
to
drop
the
hammer
on
them,
but
you
know
we
take
into
consideration.
Some
of
these
people
that
are
parking
are
the
very
same
people
who
are
there
to
watch
their
children
and,
yes,
are
they
doing
something
wrong?
X
Yes,
they
shouldn't
be
parking
like
that,
but
you
know
it's
within
our
discretion
to
enforce
there,
and
the
tact
in
the
tactic
that
we've
decided
to
take
is
to
allow
the
people
to
move
their
car.
However,
with
that
being
said
due
to
a
continuing
issue,
I
think
we're
going
to
take
the
next
step,
which
is
talk
to
them
one
more
time
and
let
them
know
that
there's
not
going
to
be
any
more
free
passes
and
we
will
start
ticketing.
S
When
I
get
the
phone
call,
then
I
call
into
the
office,
then
we
go
out
and
talk
nice
with
people
we
get
the
cars
off
next
year,
we're
going
to
go
through
the
same
thing,
so
I
think
the
administration
has
to
come
up
with
a
method
of
stopping
this
from
happening
at
the
beginning
of
the
season.
Not
after
I
start
getting
the
phone
calls,
and
I
bother
you
and
waste
your
time
with
it.
So
hopefully
you
can
do
that
with
the
recreation
department.
X
Oh
councilman,
just
just
to
be
clear,
we
do
meet
and
we
did
meet
this
year
again
with
the
leagues
to
let
them
know
that
they
shouldn't
be
doing
that,
and
I
think,
if
you
recall,
during
the
beginning
of
the
year,
we
did
see
some
effect
and
then
the
other
thing
too
councilman
is,
I
believe
I
understand
it's
frustrating
dealing
with
the
issue
year
in
and
year
out,
but
don't
forget
that
there's
new
parents,
because
you
know
kids,
move
into
the
league
move
out
into
the
neighborhood.
So
there's
a
lot
of
variables
too.
X
Probably
the
same
thing
we're
doing
this
year:
councilman
because
look,
we
can
talk
to
people
and
let
them
know
what's
happening
and
people
I
mean
they're,
going
to
do
what
they're
going
to
do.
But
again
it
may
not
be
the
same
people.
We
don't
know
if
these
people
that
are
that
are
doing
this
were
there
last
year.
Do
they
do
they
understand?
Do
they
know?
So
that's
why
we
give
them
the
talk
at
the
beginning
of
the
season,
and
you
know
when
there's
an
issue
we
go
out
there
again
and
we
remind
them
again.
X
K
S
S
So
I'm
wondering
what's
happening
based
on
that,
we
were
told
in
the
budget
hearings
that
new
people
were
being
trained,
that
essentially
the
situation
was
under
control
and
the
council
then
added
20
000
to
the
budget,
which
I
understand
doesn't
start
until
june
july,
1st,
but
added
20
000
to
the
budget
for
rat
control.
And
here
we
have
someone
who's
waiting
six
weeks,
while
the
rats
are
cheerfully
breeding.
A
X
Thank
you,
council,
president
councilman
stykos
to
to
address
this
issue.
If
you
recall
in
the
email,
the
constituent
had
claimed
that
she
called
the
mayor's
office.
In
fact,
she
had
not
called
the
mayor's
office.
She
had
called
the
public
works
department
downstairs,
which
is
the
appropriate
way
to
address
these
issues.
However,
when
a
constituent
calls
and
tries
to
schedule
these
appointments,
the
person
downstairs
is
working
off
a
master
calendar,
so
they
literally
are
trying
to
slot
people
as
best
as
they
can,
according
to
a
first-come,
first-served
basis.
X
So
I
can't
tell
you
I
can
tell
you
that,
as
a
matter
of
course,
she
probably
was
giving
us
a
date.
That
was
four
five
six
weeks
out,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
not
only
has
she
her
date
been
moved
up,
but
I
believe
she
might
have
already
been
completed
as
of
today
as
far
as
the
additional
funds.
As
you
pointed
out,
those
funds
are
not
available
to
us
until
july.
X
First,
when
the
new
fiscal
year
begins
and
in
anticipation
of
that
director
cory
and
the
administration
with
director
mason
have
already
booked
the
third
party
vendor
to
come
in
that
first
week
of
july
and
take
care
of
the
backlog
of
calls
that
we've
gotten.
So
we
are
working
within
the
parameters
that
we
have
in
terms
of
budget
and
personnel
to
try
to
deal
with
the
backlog
and
just
to
clarify
a
situation
with
the
additional
people
that
were
trained.
S
Service,
thank
you.
What
happened
with
the
idea
of
when
councilman
arkhedo
and
I
met
with
you
and
the
public
works
director.
One
of
our
suggestions
was
to
use
the
mayor's
annual
tax
letter
to
educate
people
on
proper
disposal
of
trash,
and
I
noticed
that
once
again,
the
annual
letter
was
blank
on
the
back.
X
X
F
Thank
you,
president.
A
couple
of
things
one
one
is
on
the
agenda
one's
just
just
developed
tonight,
but
this
is
the
second
council
meeting
that
I'm
hidden
from
the
camera.
Now
I
don't
know
if
it's
because
of
my
looks
and
I
might
break
the
camera,
but
if
that
camera
should
be
positioned
in
another
area,
so
at
least
I
can
get
on
camera.
So
we
can
need
to
address
that.
F
But
what's
on
the
dock,
it
was
pertaining
to
a
councilman
steigel's
response
time
with
the
administration
on
5
13
13,
a
constituent
contacted
me,
lives
on
oarsdale
road
who
evidently
the
in
the
winter
time
the
snow
plow
ruined
her
her
curb
and
she
has
a
crib.
That
is
not
it's.
It's
kind
of
out
of
the
ordinary.
It's
made
a
cobblestone.
F

Second,
email
to
the
administration
on
5
29
13
by
6,
10
13
constituent
in
question,
had
not
been
contacted
by
the
administration.
All
she
wanted
was
someone
from
highway
department
to
look
at
the
damage
it
sets
at
the
image
and
give
her
a
basically
a
ballpark
figurine
when
that
would
be
addressed.
But
if,
if
our,
if
our
city
is
running
to
the
point
where
a
constituent
contacts
his
or
her
councilman
on
513,
doesn't
get
a
phone
call
from
the
administration
four
weeks
later,
we
need
to
address
this.
F
F
X
F
You
and
I
can
sit
down
and
look.
We
can
go
over
the
points
on
this.
I
love
to
do
that,
make
ourselves
so
custom.
You
make
an
appointment
this
whenever
you
have
the
time.
Just
call
me
and
I'll
sit
with
you
for
30
minutes,
and
I
know
you
have
a
hectic
schedule
and
it
may
be
more
hectic
after
august
and
what's
going
to
happen,
you
know
when
certain
individual
makes
an
announcement
you're
going
to
even
be
more
hectic
and
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
call
you.
I
can't
call
the
directors
we're
going.
B
Yes,
carlos
just
an
ongoing
issue-
that's
been
happening
in
western
cranston
over
the
last.
Probably
five
or
six
weeks
is
the
fact
that
the
yard
waste
pickup
hasn't
been
happening,
the
same
time
as
the
same
day
as
trash
pickup.
I
know
public
works
has
been
addressing
the
issue
and
they
sat
down
and
worked
with
waste
management,
I'm
just
seeing
if
there's
an
update.
If
that
problem
solved,
I
guess
they
were
short-handed
and
I
know
inclement
weather
was
putting
people
behind
the
8-ball.
B
X
So
by
by
the
very
nature
of
how
they
operate,
they
fall
behind.
However,
we
through
director
mason,
have
brought
in
waste
management
and
taken
them
to
the
mat
and
director
mason
was
very
aggressive
in
dealing
with
them
and
they
have
assured
us
that
they're
going
to
stay
on
top
of
it
and
in
fact
they
have
worked
most
saturdays
to
use
it
as
a
catch-up
day
and
as
of
right
now,
the
call
volume
has
really
dropped
off
to
a
trickle.
X
So
right
now
we're
satisfied
with
the
improved
service
that
they're
providing
and
we
will
actively
continue
to
monitor
it,
and
if
any
constituent
should
call
you
with
an
issue.
Please
let
us
know
because
we're
where
you
know
we're
on
them,
and
they
went
as
far
as
to
give
us
a
new
manager
for
our
for
our
city,
because
they
were
having
some
issues
with
prior
people.
B
Just
based
on
what
councilman
steinko
said
about
his
two
issues,
I'm
looking
at
the
cranston
webpage,
you
know
the
front
around
the
move,
there's
a
section
that
says
hot
topics.
Maybe
you
know
the
first
one
anyways
if
we
could
post
something
on
the
rodent
issue
and
maybe
down
the
line
since
it's
not
that
important,
we
can
move
some
of
these
old
things
down
and,
put
you
know
proper
protocol
for
parking
at
park
view.
B
So
you
know
you
can
refer
that
that
we
don't
have
to
send
an
email,
but
they
come
to
the
website
and
look
at
these
issues.
I
mean
that
would
be
helpful.
I
mean,
I
know
you
know
it's
updated
with
the
council
meetings
and
meetings
once
a
month.
So
I
don't
know.
Perhaps
if
we
get
somebody
to
do
that,
that
would
help
the
entire
city.
X
A
E
X
E
And
just
a
quick
comment
on
consonant
psychosis
concern:
when
I
drive
down
the
street
in
my
neighborhood
at
least
every
10
hot
10th
house
doesn't
have
a
garbage,
can
they
just
leave
the
garbage
out
without
a
garbage?
Can
is
that
being
monitored?
I
I
think
they're
supposed
to
have
a
garbage.
Can
that's
just
asking
for
trouble
as
far
as
I'm
concerned?
That's
just
that's
just
a
something
I
noticed,
but
can
we
maybe
get
a
knock
on
their
door
and
tell
them
they
really
need
to
put
it
into
a
receptacle.
X
Our
inspectors
are
out
in
the
city,
you
know
during
normal
work
hours
and
if
they
do
see
stuff
like
that,
they
do
try
to
address
it.
However,
do
keep
in
mind
that
a
lot
of
people
take
their
garbage
out
after
work
hours
and
when
our
inspectors,
quite
frankly,
aren't
out
there.
So
we
may
see
those
type
of
things
happen,
but
just
be
our
mind,
the
limited
time
that
our
inspectors
are
available
to
monitor
those
type
of
situations.
C
I
just
had
one
quick
thing:
council
president.
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
commend
the
fire
department
and
mr
valletta
and
the
administration
on
that
issue
with
coventry.
Just
so
happened
that,
on
my
way
to
the
meeting
tonight,
I
witnessed
a
rescue
in
progress
in
garden
city
and
an
elderly
gentleman.
Tate
was
taken
to
you
know
by
a
stretcher
into
the
ambulance
so
to
the
rescue.
B
On
this
trash
thing,
carlos,
is
it
too
much
to
ask
waste
management?
I
mean,
as
they're
picking
up
the
trash
I
mean
they
got
to
know
their
bad
situations
without
trash
cans
and
stuff.
Can't
they
make
a
note
so
that
you
know
somebody
from
the
administration
could
call
them
and
tell
them
and
warn
them
the
problem,
especially
in
the
areas
that
we,
you
know,
have
this
road
problem.
You
know
I
mean
they're
our
vendor.
