Description
May 29, 2013, City Council Meeting
A
A
B
And
the
contest
was
for
all
aspiring
artists
and
all
the
high
schools
in
the
state
to
submit
artwork,
and
it
was
called
the
jack
reed
high
school
arts
competition.
I
believe
there
were
several
hundred
submissions
and
a
woman
from
cranston
won
the
award,
so
her
painting
will
now
be
displayed
in
jaclyn's
office
for
the
next
year.
E
A
B
B
And
I
represent
the
applicants
nancy
mcgovern
and
for
a
zone
change
that
is
on
for
action
by
the
council
this
evening,
it's
received
favorable
reviews
by
the
planning
commission
that
a
planner
is
really
just
a
housekeeping
matter,
so
to
speak,
it's
an
island
that
is
designated
c5
in
a
fully
residential
district
and
the
application
is
set
in
order
to
make
it
consistent
with
the
land
use
plan
and
the
comprehensive
plan,
and
I
believe
that
there's
been
no
opposition
whatsoever
and
I
would
move
for
its
passage
in
adoption.
Thank
you.
B

Any
of
those
questions
I'll
make
a
quick
comment
on
it.
We
try
to
encourage
businesses
to
come
and
relocate
in
the
city
of
cranston.
If
we
wait
and
put
this
to
another
committee
here,
the
general
center
will
be
closing.
Councilman
samuel
is
absolutely
correct.
We'd
have
to
wait
till
january
and
to
hold
up
the
business
until
january.
It's
not
fair
if
we
can
avoid
it
comes
from
this
year.
Yes,
we
heard
this
in
safety
services
and
there
weren't
any
objections
at
all
other
than
the
fact
that
there
was
an
issue
with
the
ten
feet.
B
A
B
G
B
A

A

B
A
G
A
B

B
G

Due
to
the
elevated
nitrogen
and
phosphorus
levels,
which
caused
a
lot
of
fish
to
die,
so
epa
went
up
and
down
these
coasts
targeting
certain
treatment
plants
because
that's
where
they
had
control
of
them
and
they
forced
everyone
to
lower
their
permit,
so
we
would
actually
have
to
lower
it
anyway.
We
would
have
had
to
do
it
by
work
if
the
landfill
had
stayed.
B
G
B
B
Vendor
license
this
past
committee
randomly
this
is
basically
as
basic
as
I
can
would
only
allow
fireworks
packaged
fireworks
to
be
sold
in
a
permanent
structure.
They
could
not
be
sold
in
a
temporary
structure
all
like
tennis
or
anything
else.
They
have
to
be
in
a
permanent
structure
again.
This
was.
G
As
well
yeah,
I
think
it
was
done
to
protect
saint
mary's
feast
as
well.
We
don't
want
any
vendors
on
the
street
selling.
Fireworks
is
we've
seen
that
in
norwalk
and
other
cities-
and
it's
it's
terrible,
you
know
and
I'm
sure
that
there's
so
much
risk
in
that
kids
could
get
access
to
at
least
a
fireworks
very
easily
and
they
could
be
stolen,
just
a
bad
situation.
So
I
fully
support
this
any
other
discussion.
A
B
B
B

H
H
Committee,
I
think,
is
what
it's
called
is
proposing
next
week,
making
it
unavailable
to
food
trucks
to
operate
within
1000
feet
of
an
existing
restaurant
and
we'd,
just
like
to
say
that's,
extraordinarily
unfair.
To
someone
like
me,
who
owns
a
coffee
truck
that
I
couldn't
be
within
a
thousand
feet
of,
say,
a
mexican
restaurant.
They
were
not
competitive
business
at
all.
An
ice
cream
truck
parked
within
a
thousand
feet
of
italian
restaurants.
No
threat
to
establish
business
food
trucks
are
super
popular
there's.

Problems
with
the
administration
being
that
I
have
an
update
from
my
director
of
constituent
affairs,
who
has
been
diligently
working
on
the
multiple
universe,
requests
that
have
come
from
this
particular
councilman.
So,
in
addition
to
this
claim
that
he's
having
difficulty
working
with
the
administration
getting
ahold
of
us,
I
can
tell
you
that.
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
G
G
F
B
Will
not
be
having
a
meeting
of
the
audit
committee
until
august
at
the
earliest,
because
at
this
point
the
auditors
aren't
even
looking
at
the
city's
books.
The
fiscal
year
hasn't
ended
yet,
and
if
there
are
questions
about
the
city's
financial
condition,
I
would
suggest
bringing
them
up
at
a
finance
committee.
That's
always
attended
by
bob
strong,
that's
the
first
item.
B
B
The
administration
hired
someone
to
do
projections
of
what
money
was
needed
and
what
rate
hikes
would
produce
what
revenue
they
looked
at
a
couple
of
scenarios.
Four
percent
of
years.
I
believe
they
looked
at
six
percent
a
year
in
this
report
and
five
percent
produced
the
money
that
is
projected
to
be
needed.
In
order
to
do
this
improvement
should
the
should
the
upgrade
cost
less.
B
I
would
anticipate
the
administration
in
the
later
years,
say
the
fourth
or
fifth
year
coming
in
and
saying
you
know,
we
saved
some
money,
we
don't
need
five
percent,
but
that
was
looked
at
by
the
finance
committee
by
the
administration
provided
us
with
a
copy
of
that
study.
I
can't
remember
the
name
of
the
guy
who
did
it,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
point.
B
B
B
And
that
we
can
have
a
series
of
community
meetings
in
western
princeton
to
address
some
of
the
issues.
They
did
a
great
job
when
they
did
their
road,
which
used
to
be
an
oil
carriage
horse
road.
There
are
other
worlds
or
issues
that
we
need
to
bring
for
the
attention
of
the
state.
As
the
council
president
knows,
it
took
how
long
to
get
that
stopped
on
phoenix
avenue.
F
B
The
issuance
of
the
three
resolutions
is
for
the
total
amount
of
the
issuance,
so
in
other
words,
it
is
a
lot
more
than
what
we're
going
to
go
bonding
for
and
the
reason
why
they
do
that.
Is
they
rather
come
before
the
council
and
get
approval
so
that
we
don't
have
to
keep
on
submitting
resolutions
for
every
time
we
borrow.
It
does
not
mean.
B
B
All
three
rating
agencies
were
very
pleased
about
our
discussions
in
going
forward
with
the
pension
plan,
the
unfunded
liability
and
also
how
the
school
in
is
their
finances
they're,
making
their
second
payment
this
year
and
scheduled
for
their
third
next
year
for
the
deficit
reduction
plan.
Those
two
issues
are
probably
the
most
important
for
our
bond
rating.
