Description
August 24, 2015, City Council Meeting
A
A
A
A
D
Thank
you,
council
president,
just
a
brief
rundown
back
in
june,
there
was
a
really
bad
fire
early
on
11
o'clock
in
the
morning
on
florida
avenue.
Luckily,
three
of
our
guests
here
happen
to
be
driving
by
and
perform
some
heroic
deeds.
If
I
could
concentrate
I'd
like
to
read
the
proclamation
yes
and
will
the.
D
Whereas
detective
duffy
returned
to
the
building
and
led
another
gentleman
and
his
dog
to
safety,
then
suspecting
there
might
be
other
residents
on
the
third
floor.
Detective
duffy,
with
the
assistance
of
thomas
okolevich
and
officer
stephen
lang,
went
up
to
the
third
floor
apartment
and
quickly
broke
down
the
door
to
gain
entry
and
were
immediately
engulfed
by
thick
black
smoke.
And
whereas
sergeant
oklahovic
dropped
to
the
floor
in
an
attempt
to
search
the
apartment
for
additional
occupants.
D
Now,
therefore,
let
it
be
known
to
all
present
that
the
actions
and
bravery
of
detective
paula,
duffy
sergeant,
thomas
okolevich
and
officer
stephen
lang
went
above
and
beyond
the
call
of
duty.
Their
selfless
decision
to
enter
the
home
ultimately
saved
the
lives
of
the
occupants
and
demonstrated
an
unwavering
commitment
to
public
safety.
D
In
addition
to
our
actions
on
florida,
avenue,
detective
duffy,
coordinated
charitable
donations
from
local
businesses
and
cranston
citizens
to
assist
the
14
people
that
were
affected
by
this
tragic
event.
Further
demonstrating
that
her
commitment
does
not
end
when
the
final
report
is
written,
this
cranston
city
council
does
hereby
honor
and
recognize
these
brave
and
heroic
members
of
the
cranston
police
department,
whose
quick
and
selfless
actions
prevented
the
loss
of
any
lives
in
this
incident,
and
it's
signed
by
every
member
of
the
council.
A
E
Well,
I
think
the
facts
speak
for
itself.
There
was
a
truly
heroic
actions
by
these
three
officers,
I'm
proud
of
not
only
what
they
did
that
particular
day,
but
also
the
follow-up
to
go
out
and
garner
contributions
to
get
those
families
back
on
their
feet.
I
was
notified
today
that
detective
paul
duffy
would
be
recognized
in
rhode,
island
monthly
magazine
as
a
result
of
her
actions
and
going
above
and
beyond
the
call
of
duty.
So
again,
congratulations
and
thank
you
to
the
council
for
recognizing
these
great
offices.
A
Okay,
public
hearings
on
the
sign
up
sheet.
The
first
person
is
cindy
fogerty.
F
G
G
Cindy
fogarty
60
osteel
road.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
this
evening.
I
wish
to
address
your
agenda
item
7-15-03.
G
This
is
a
recommendation
to
modify
an
existing
three-way,
stop
sign
at
orsdale,
nollwood
and
crothers
street,
to
increase
that
to
a
five-way,
stop
sign
where
the
streets
converge.
I
am
opposed
to
this
modification.
I've
lived
at
this
intersection
for
28
years.
I've
raised
two
children
in
that
neighborhood.
Without
fencing
in
the
yard
they
have
played
outside
with
neighbor
children,
they
have
biked,
they
have
run,
they
played
ball
throughout
that
area.
We
have
had
no
incidents
of
any
children
being
harmed
in
that
area.
G
In
that
time,
perry
no
instance
of
pedestrians
accidents
and
in
fact
I
can
only
recall
two
minor
fender
benders
at
that
intersection
with
the
existing
three
stop
signs
that
are
there
we're
told
by
the
administration
that
stop
signs
aren't
just
to
prevent
accidents
that
there
are
some
other
reasons
when
they're
analyzing
where
to
put
stop
signs,
and
there
certainly
is
a
great
deal
of
information
out
there.
G
So
I
went
to
the
federal
highway
administration
site
and
both
most
states
and
the
federal
highways
do
indeed
have
very
specific
regulations
as
to
when
they're
putting
in
stop
signs,
and
they
recommend,
where
you
have.
A
combination
of
high
speed,
restricted
view
and
serious
accident
records
would
indicate
the
need
for
a
stop
sign
control
device.
G
Until
I
received
this
letter
from
councilman
arkhedo,
where
a
neighbor
a
few
a
few
blocks
away
from
my
house,
I
guess
indicated
that
he
found
an
obstruction
during
the
winter
time
based
on
the
piles
of
snow
that
were
placed
on
that
corner.
G
So
perhaps,
if
the
city
would
stop
piling
the
snow
on
that
corner,
we
could
eliminate
any
obstruction
issues.
As
I
said
earlier,
there
were
no
records
of
serious
accidents
there
and
the
federal
highway
administration
uses
the
basis
for
requiring
a
stop
sign
of
five
or
more
correctable
accidents
within
a
12-month
period.
I'm
talking
28
years
without
any
serious
accidents
at
that
site.
So
we
don't
meet
that
standard.
G
There
is
an
issue
where
I
do
see
cars
they
do.
I
can
hear
them
accelerate
as
they're
driving
through
the
neighborhood
they're,
accelerating
to
and
through
the
stop
sign.
That's
already
there.
The
stop
sign
on
nolwood
avenue
going
south
and
north.
There
are
stop
signs
on
both
sides
of
nowhood
they're,
not
accelerating
oresdale,
which
goes
east
to
west
west
east.
G
So
in
addition,
I
have
24
signatures,
which
I
will
submit
to
the
clerk
for
your
review
of
people
that
actually
live
in
the
immediate
area,
who
are
opposed
to
the
stop
sign
and
would
prefer
either
at
least
some
lesser
method,
or
that
some
additional
research
be
done
on
this
issue
or
enforcement
of
the
existing
stop
signs
on
that
location
be
a
priority
as
opposed
to
just
randomly
putting
up
another
sign.
It
doesn't
tend
to
work
most
studies
from
thank
you
that
have
been
done.
G
There
are
many
studies
and
in
fact,
a
professor
in
engineer,
reed
ewing,
who
actually
has
written
the
book
on
this
subject,
entitled
the
institute
of
traffic
engineers
traffic
calming
that
the
industry
no
longer
recommends
using
stop
signs
as
a
traffic.
Calming
measure
as
there's
a
tendency
for
drivers
to
actually
speed
up
in
between
stop
signs
because
they've
been
delayed
at
stop
signs.
So
there's
a
lot
of
information
out
there
that
they
are.
G
They
do
not
work
as
a
calming
device,
and
I
would
ask
you
to
either
further
study
this
particular
site
or
please
vote
down
the
passage
of
this.
These
particular
stop
signs
on
osdale.
Thank
you.
H
H
I
take
exception
with
mr
mulcahy's
report
that
deems
the
intersection
dangerous
and
I
will
elaborate
on
that.
I'll.
Be
brief,
because
I
know
you
got
quite
a
lengthy
agenda
tonight
after
I
found
that
there
was
a
an
issue
about
putting
stop
signs
there.
H
I
contacted
mr
okay
and
asked
him
if,
if
I
could
take
a
look
at
the
crash
data
or
the
accident
data
for
that
intersection,
and
he
advised
me
that
he
didn't
have
any
that
he
made
the
decision
without
that,
which
is
to
me
a
vital
piece
of
a
intelligent
decision
on
traffic
control
signs,
but
he
I
said
well,
what
did
you
base
it
on?
H
It's
hard
to
understand
why
a
decision
could
be
made
without
the
most
important
ingredient,
and
that
is
crash
statistics.
Action
statistics
I
found
from
the
police,
the
cranston
police
department
that
in
the
previous
five
years
there
have
been
two
crashes
in
that
area,
their
their
their
statistics
do
not
isolate
the
incidents
to
being
in
that
intersection,
but
in
the
general
area,
so
they
could
have
occurred
on
cruthers
on
osdale
or
on
or
on
norwood,
but
in
the
general
vicinity.
There
were
two
one
in
2010
and
another
in
2011.
H
Surely
that
is
not
the
criteria
to
determine
a
dangerous
intersection,
and
then,
if
you
take
mr
mulcahy's
two
items
that
he
mentioned
to
me
about
the
configuration
of
the
of
the
intersection,
the
geometric
configuration
as
well
as
the
visibility
in
it
both
of
those
work,
the
exact
opposite,
what
he's
saying,
they're
dangerous?
They
contribute
to
making
a
dangerous
intersection.
My
argument
is:
no:
they
don't
they
make
it
a
much
safer
intersection.
H
So
my
argument
is
this:
if
the,
if
the
intersection
is
going
to
be
declared
dangerous
by
the
traffic
engineer,
then
he
must
introduce
credible
evidence,
and
that
has
to
be
in
forms
of
crash
and
accidents
and
sadly
there
were
no
pedestrian
accidents
at
that.
At
that
intersection,
I
say
that
mr
mulcahy
ruled
subjectively
making
his
decision
arbitrary
and
capricious
and
not
creditable
so
to
act
on
it
would
would
be
not
quite
responsible
in
my
opinion,
and
that's
what
I
have
to
say
so
again.
I
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
H
I
My
name
is
steve,
agnoli,
127,
kingwood
avenue
and
cranston.
I
would
like
to
talk
about
the
no
confidence
vote
on
mayor
fung.
If
I
could,
I
have
been
living
in
cranston,
my
whole
life
and
mayor
fung
is
one
of
the
best
mayors
cranston
has
ever
had
since
2008.
When
the
mayor
took
office,
cranston
has
evolved
to
one
of
the
greatest
places
to
live,
work
and
play.
I
I
The
bond
ratings
went
up
and
a
great
interaction
he
has
with
the
community
what
town
our
city
wouldn't
want.
A
leader
like
that,
any
bad
weather
we
have
the
mayor
is
out
on
the
streets,
giving
residents
hour-by-hour
updates
on
public
safety,
take
a
step
back
and
look
at
what
the
city
has
become
over
the
last
seven
years.
That's
what
mayor
fung
is
known
for
that
is
our
leader,
and
I
am
damn
proud
to
call
him
our
mayor
of
our
city.
I
J
Good
evening,
everyone
bitto,
I'm
steve.
Okay,
I
think
he
said
it
all.
I've
been
a
cranston
resident
for
16
years,
very
proud,
cranston
resident,
I'm
also
a
businesswoman,
I'm
a
real
estate
broker.
Associate
I
sell
cranston
constantly.
I
have
two
closings
coming
up
for
cranston
next
week.
People
want
to
live
in
cranston,
it's
an
amazing
economic
atmosphere.
We
have
all
wonderful
shops,
city
view
garden
city
who
doesn't
want
to
live
in
cranston.
This
is
the
best
leader
cranston
has
ever
had.
Certainly
since
I've
been
here,
no
confidence
vote
really,
I
don't
think
so.
J
K
Thank
you
for
letting
me
speak
jonathan
keith
30
lodge
street.
I
want
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
the
no
confidence
vote.
You
guys
are
the
check
to
that
balance.
K
L
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
lisa
mancini.
I
live
at
234
bretton
woods
drive
in
cranston,
I'm
here
to
say
that
I
complete
faith
in
mayor
fung
and
I
oppose
the
noah
the
resolution
to
oppose
him
as
a
cranston
resident
since
1978
I
like
the
direction
the
city
is
going
in.
I
left
I
went
to
college,
I
came
back,
I
decided
to
get
married.
I
bought
a
house
in
a
nice
neighborhood.
I
chose
to
have
my
family
raised
here.
I
have
four
children,
thriving
actually
excelling
in
this
cranston
public
school
system.
Why?
L
The
leadership
we
have
seen
many
mayors
come
and
go.
We
have
good
mayor
right
now
he
is
out
there.
I
read
want
to
restate
what
he
said.
He
is
out
there
with
everyone.
He
says
what
he
means
he
shows
up.
He
is
part
of
this
city.
This
is
his
blood
he
wants
to
be
here.
He
wants
to
do
a
good
job.
He
is
doing
a
good
job.
L
I
am
a
homeowner.
I
have
nine
multi
unit
properties
in
the
city.
I
want
to
be
here.
My
huge
family
wants
to
be
here.
My
tenants
want
to
be
here.
I
have
no
problem
selling
a
property
for
anyone
to
come
in
here
and
stay
here.
They
want
to
be
in
this
city.
We
have
businesses
thriving.
We.
I
have
many
family
members
who
own
businesses
here
they
could
have
left.
They
could
have
gone
to
other
places
in
this
country
in
this
world.
With
multi-million
dollar
companies,
they
stayed
in
cranston.
L
This
is
a
great
place
why
it's
thriving
garden
city
is
re
revitalized.
I
went
to
woolworths
as
a
kid,
and
now
I
go
all
the
different
stores
here
in
france
in
garden
city
chapel
view
everything
is
perfect.
Everything
is
coming
up
when
we
had
the
recession,
every
other
city
was
failing,
cranston
was
being
revitalized.
We
were
coming
up
up
roses
with
that.
L
A
M
I
remain
very
disappointed
in
the
way
these
things
are
playing
out.
The
mayor
just
doesn't
seem
to
get
it
and,
as
I
stated
in
the
last
meeting
I'll
state
it
again,
I've
known
alan
for
a
long
time
he's
not
the
same
person
that
I
knew
at
met.
Life
he's
dismissing
all
of
you
because
he
stood
on
channel
10
and
said
he
characterized
this
meeting
tonight
as
nothing
but
political
theater.
M
F
Stephen
carrara
5
priscilla
drive.
I
rise
this
evening
with
respect
to
the
political
theater
statement.
I
also
have
a
copy
of
the
confidential
police
report
that
the
confidential
report
that
superintendent
parry
had
prepared
for
mayor
fung
in
december
of
2008.
He
was
mayor,
elect
and
while
I
won't
go
through
the
entire.
F
F
They
voiced
numerous
complaints
about
the
administration
and
the
manner
in
which
the
singers
are
made
in
the
areas
of
promotion,
disciplining
of
offices,
equipment
and
facility,
maintenance,
officer,
morale
and
staffing
levels
in
the
different
units.
The
union
presented
to
colonel
mcgrath
the
results
of
a
2007
survey
conducted
by
the
union,
which
indicated
the
issues
of
concern
and
according
to
the
union,
there
was
no
response
from
colonel
mcgrath.
F
F
How
can
these
things
never
work
when
you
want
them
to
political
theater?
Much
more
than
this
resolution
is
a
statement
of
the
disapproval
of
the
council
in
the
clans.
Clanston
represent
residents
they
represent
regarding
the
release
of
the
state
police
report
regarding
the
cranston
police
department.
F
In
short,
our
city's
mayor
is
incapable
of
maintaining
the
charge
that
he
took
and
all
to
uphold
at
a
minimum.
He
failed
to
correct
the
minor
issues
in
the
department
that
existed
prior
to
his
taking
office
and
further,
he
exacerbated
a
manageable
situation
by
surrendering
management
rights
to
a
political
supporter.
F
Millions
of
dollars
have
been
wasted
on
legal
fees
and
potentially
multi-million
dollar
lawsuits,
any
chief
executive
executives
that
is
so
reckless
with
the
shareholders
money
should
be
at
the
very
least
sanctioned
in
the
case.
In
this
case,
he
should
seriously
consider
resigning
now,
instead
of
waiting
until
his
contract
with
the
citizens
expire
in
january
2017..
F
A
O
Richard
tomlins
400
farmington
avenue,
mr
president
of
the
members
of
the
council,
a
little
housekeeping
first
of
all
to
remind
that
individual
who
spoke
this
council
is
a
legislative
body
for
the
city.
They
have
equal
power
to
the
mayor.
It
is
the
same
in
the
state
and
it's
the
same
in
our
federal
government,
so
they
have
their
job
to
do
regardless
of
any
outside
interference
or
what
anybody
thinks
now
on
this
no
confidence.
But
quite
frankly,
I
don't
know
how
it's
going
to
go
down.
I
really
don't
care
and
I'll.
O
Tell
you
why,
because
it
will
never
do
the
job.
I've
heard
a
rumor
that
maybe
it's
a
first
step.
I
would
be
against
that
also
because
this
will
fade
away
very
quickly.
What
this
council
has
to
do
and
what
they
have
the
power
to
do
is
to
call
for
a
special
prosecutor,
use
their
subpoena
power
and
bring
in
the
individuals
that
is
talked
about
in
this
182
pages.
O
If
you
read
that
report,
which
I
think
at
least
a
half
a
dozen
people
that
spoke
here
tonight,
did
not
read
it,
you
will
find
out
that
a
lot
of
this
stuff
is
surfaced.
We
don't
go
beyond.
As
colonel
o'donnell
said,
it
was
900
900
pages
and
they
had
to
bring
it
down
to
182.
So
it
couldn't
be
that
all
that
comprehensive.
O
So
what
you're
charged
with,
if
you're,
really
going
to
do
your
job
is
to
bring
the
people
onto
subpoena
power.
Let's
find
out
what
those
tapes
really
say,
let's
find
out
what
those
cell
phones
have
to
say
about
ticket
game.
There
is
no
question
that
we
are
faced
here
with
a
minimum
of
two
million
dollars,
just
think
of
what
you
could
have
done
with
that
two
million
dollars.
O
If
you
know
anything
about
the
city,
the
demographics
are
changing
rapidly
and
we're
not
preparing.
As
rapidly
I've
talked
to
teachers.
I've
talked
to
administrators
and
there's
lots
of
work
that
we're
going
to
have
to
do
if
those
young
people
who
are
entering
our
schools,
particularly
in
special
areas
of
the
city,
are
going
to
go
on
to
become
tax,
paying
and
good
citizens
for
this
state
and
for
this
country.
O
So
what
I'm
saying
to
you
is,
I
think
this
is
kind
of
a
race
to
waste
the
time,
because,
no
matter
how
it
comes
out,
it's
kind
of
like
a
slap
in
the
face.
The
press
will
run
it
for
a
day.
Some
of
you
will
be
interviewed
why
you
voted
one
way
or
another
way,
and
it's
gone
by
the
time
the
election
comes
around.
O
O
O
O
I
don't
know
how
you
make
up
sick
days,
vacation
days
to
get
him
to
full
salary
before
he
retires,
and
then
they
say
he
will
earn
another
forty
thousand
dollars,
if
that
isn't
ripping
off
the
city
ripping
off
the
taxpayers,
and
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
and
150
thousand
dollars
that
has
been
spent
to
date
to
date
on
lawyers
fees
and
then
you're
prepared
to
give
them
another.
Forty
thousand,
why
don't
you
buy
them?
A
thirty
thousand
dollar
watch
and
save
ten
thousand?
O
A
Resolution
expressing
a
complete
lack
of
confidence
in
mayor
flung's
ability
to
continue
to
head
to
lead
the
city
of
cranston,
sponsored
by
council
president
lanny
council.
Vice
president
santa
maria
and
councilman
aceto.
Is
there
a
motion.
P
We
resolved
that,
whereas
on
november
14
2013
members
of
the
cranston
city
council,
finance
committee
met
and
voted
on
a
proposed
tentative
agreement
with
the
international
brotherhood
police
officers,
local
301..
At
that
meeting,
the
finance
committee
rejected
the
tentative
agreement
by
a
vote
of
florida.
Three
early
on
the
morning
of
friday
november
15
2013
members
of
the
cranston
police
department
issued
112
parking
tickets,
of
which
106
were
for
violations
of
the
overnight
parking
ordinance.
P
Additionally,
during
the
early
morning,
hours
of
saturday
november
16
2013,
the
cranston
police
department
issued
another
34
tickets,
of
which
31
were
for
violations
of
overnight
parking
ordinance.
The
majority
of
these
tickets
were
issued
in
the
arlington
and
edgewood
sections
of
the
city
of
cranston
in
awards,
one
and
three,
and
whereas
on
sunday
december,
1,
2013
city,
council,
members,
steve
stykos
and
paul
arkhedo,
who
represent
ward
1
and
ward
3
of
the
city
respectively,
filed
to
complain
with
the
princeton
police
department's
professional
standards
unit.
P
P
Regarding
the
findings
of
the
internal
investigation
into
the
issuance
of
the
parking
tickets
january,
9
2014,
a
notice
of
discipline
was
drafted
by
colonel
palumbo
in
address
to
captain
antonucci,
advising
that
the
office
of
professional
standards
unit
within
the
cranston
police
department
had
determined
that
there
were
a
total
of
128
tickets
issued
in
ward
1
and
war
3
in
the
days
following
the
finance
committee
meeting,
in
which
the
tentative
contract
agreement
was
voted
down.
The
investigation
uncovered
compelling
evidence
to
suggest
that
this
aggressive
ticketing
was
directed
by
captain
antonucci
and
coordinated
through
his
subordinate
officer.
P
The
assessment
concluded
quote
mayor
fung
was
aware
of
many
of
the
problems
within
the
department,
including
unwarranted
disciplinary
actions
taken
against
specific
officers,
the
intimidation
of
civilians
in
attempts
by
colonel
palumbo
and
his
top-ranking
officers
to
interfere
with
the
promoting
testing
process.
Yet
he
took
no
action
and
failed
to
rectify
many
of
the
significant
issues
brought
to
the
tension
concerning
colonel
palumbo's
erratic
behavior
end
of
quote.
The
report
also
concluded
that
mir
fung,
the
members
of
his
administration
interfered
and
unduly
influenced
the
department's
operations
when
it
suited
their
purpose.
P
A
Thank
you,
madam
clerk.
Under
the
discussion
council
vice
president
santa
maria,
would
you
step
for
the
stuff
up
here?
Please.
A
A
Of
this
resolution
I
have
a
few
words
to
say.
First
of
all,
I
read
the
182
report.
Page
report
twice
not
once
twice
it's
a
three
hour
read
so
I'm
assuming
most
of
you
in
this
audience
didn't
read
it,
but
the
questions
that
it
brings
up
are
both
moral
and
ethical
questions.
Concerning
the
leadership
in
the
city
of
cranston.
A
A
He
knew
was
going
on.
He
did
nothing
about
it.
Absolutely
nothing!
Good
men,
good
women
were
put
on
administrative
leave,
their
jobs
were
threatened,
they
were
given
demotions,
they
were
brought
to
court,
their
families
suffered.
They
suffered
for
doing
absolutely
nothing
wrong
all
because
of
vendettas
created
under
ex
colonel
palumbo,
with
the
knowledge
of
mayor
fung.
A
A
A
A
A
F
Yes,
I
did,
I
think,
it's
important
to
all
the
council
people
here
that
we
forget
about
what
we
do
in
real
life
and
just
think
about
what
we
were
elected
for.
Forget
that
we're
lawyers
forget
that
we
work
in
computers.
Forget
that
we're
printers
forget
that
we're
unemployed
or
retired
forget
about
that
and
just
think
of
the
taxpayers
and
the
people
that
you
represent.
F
If
any
of
us
were
involved
in
one-tenth
of
some
of
the
items
that
happened,
we
wouldn't
be
in
office
today,
there'd
be
an
outro
major
outworld,
councilman
farina
always
says:
let's
move
ahead,
I
think
there
isn't
a
member
of
this
council
that
doesn't
want
to
move
ahead.
But
how
can
you
move
ahead
if
we
recall
the
series
offense
of
the
report
and
the
summary
letter
coming
to
light?
F
F
With
regards
to
colonel
perry.
We've
been
asking
for
that
at
least
three
members
of
his
council
was
asking
for
it.
The
state
police
asked
for
it
and
then
he
appears
on
a
radio
station
and
goes
ahead
and
tells
the
host
he's
going
to
release
the
letter
you're
right.
This
is
about
politics,
politics
of
interfering
as
a
chief
executive
officer
through
his
administration
and
go
in
in
creating
people's
civil
rights.
F
F
F
So
again,
I
apologize
to
taxpayers.
If
this
seems
political,
it's
really
not
political.
It's
our
job
is
being
a
council
person
to
get
the
facts,
nothing
but
the
facts
and
get
to
the
bottom
of
this.
I
am
voting
because
I
have
no
confidence,
because
the
administration
not
only
lied
to
the
taxpayers
of
my
ward,
but
he
lied
to
me
and
his
administration
lied
to
me
in
public.
After
the
fact.
Just
before
this
meeting
we
got
a
letter
from
lydia
wilson.
F
A
Q
Thank
you.
The
first.
S
Q
Address
is
the
charge
that
this
is
political.
This
is
frankly
what
the
mayor
trots
out
every
time
he
gets
severely
criticized.
He
says
it's
political.
If
you
look
in
the
state
police
report
on
page
157,
that's
what
he
said
about
the
superintendent
of
the
state
police
that
he
was
political
in
his
investigation.
Q
So
when
there's
criticism
instead
of
focusing
on
the
issue,
the
mayor
tries
to
change
the
subject
and
say
it's
political.
Everyone
else
is
always
political
he's,
never
political.
Now.
I
think
this
is,
as
other
council
members
have
said.
This
is
a
very
important
and
serious
thing
to
do
to
consider
a
no-confidence
vote
in
a
man
who
was
elected
by
the
people,
but,
like
president
lanny,
I
also
I
voted
for
alan
fung
on
occasion
and
I'm
just
I'm
embarrassed
that
I
did
that.
Q
I
was.
I
I'm
sorry
that
I
did
that.
C
Q
He
conducted
secret
behind-the-scenes
meetings
with
stephen
antonucci
and
promised
him
he'd
give
him
his
job
back.
That's
number
one
number
two
after
the
election
that
he
lost
for
governor
allan
fung
attempted
to
bring
steven
antonucci
back
at
full
rank
with
only
minor
penalty
number
three
on
two
occasions.
According
to
the
state
police
report,
alan
fung
in
meetings
with
police
chief
mike
windquist,
was
told
by
the
police
chief
that
if
he
brought
stephen
antonucci
back
onto
the
police
department,
that
chief
windquist
would
consider
resigning
and
in
response
alan
funk
said
well,
I
understand.
Q
Q
T
T
I
would
like
to
see
this
resolution
be
worded
slightly
differently
and
put
some
some
teeth
in
it.
Realistically,
this
is
if
we
do
pass
it.
This
would
be
our
opinion
how
we
think
councilman
aceto
mentioned
I
like
to
do
things
to
move
the
city
forward
and
be
positive
at
the
end
of
the
day,
if
there
was
some
language
put
into
this,
that
said,
we
have
no
confidence
in
mayor
fung,
running
a
police
department
and
to
make
my
statement
more
true.
T
I
believe,
there's
probably
one
person
in
this
room,
maybe
two
or
three,
who
I
feel
confident
around
the
police
department
and
that
would
be
colonel
lindquist
if
we
were
to
change
this
and
put
it
to
a
fact
that
we
urge
the
mayor
to
hire
a
public
safety.
Commissioner,
we
urge
the
mayor
not
to
be
involved
with
the
police
department.
We
urge
the
mayor
to
let
the
colonel
run
the
police
department.
T
I
could
support
that
because
it'd
be
a
positive
aspect
of
the
resolution,
as
opposed
to
just
us
throwing
up
our
hands
and
saying
we
have
no
confidence
in
your
mayor.
That's
the
fundamental
problem.
I
have
with
this
there's
nothing
in
here
that
says:
how
are
we
going
to
solve
the
problem?
What
are
we
going
to
do
to
fix
it
and
how
we're
going
to
move
cranston
forward?
T
T
So
if
we
could
add
some
language
to
this,
that
shows
how
we
move
forward,
how
we
power
positively
affecting
change
in
the
city.
I
could
support
it,
but
as
it
stands,
just
us
saying
no
confidence.
I
mean
we're
going
to
come
back
in
another
month
and
saying
he
needs
to
do
something
different.
He
needs
to
hire
a
public
safety
director.
I
mean,
let's,
let's
think
long
and
hard
about
what
we
want
the
mayor
to
do
differently
and,
let's
think
about
that.
R
This
council
is
putting
the
cart
before
the
horse.
I've
heard
this
council
would
conduct
a
further
investigation
beyond
the
state
police
assessment
asking
for
documents,
emails,
etc.
As
councilman
aceto
said,
and
I
think
I'm
on
record
saying
that
I
want
the
truth
to
come
out
and
I
don't
think
we
have
all
the
information
again.
We
have
182
page
report
and
colonel
o'donnell
is
on
record
as
saying
that
it
could
have
been
500
or
even
a
thousand
pages
and
whether
it
works
in
mayor
funk's,
favor
or
it
doesn't
that
information
does
need
to
come
out
again.
R
R
If
captain
dodd
waved
his
hipaa
rights
to
the
state
police,
maybe
he'd
be
willing
to
do
that
as
well.
But
that's
up
to
captain
dodd
has
anyone
from
the
council
called
the
administration
and
asked
hey?
Can
we
see
these
documents
relating
to
whatever
section
of
the
report
that
you
have?
Has
anyone
done
that?
R
R
So
again,
yeah
here
we
are
carp
before
the
horse,
but
we're
calling
for
a
resolution
of
no
confidence
is
my
opinion
that
this
is
folly
and
it's
an
attempt
by
the
democratic
majority
of
this
council
to
help
their
prospective
candidate
for
mayor
next
year.
R
No
criminal
actions,
no
criminal
actions
were
conducted
by
the
mayor.
Yet
there
are
members
of
this
council
advocating
the
mayor
should
resign.
Now.
Do
I
think
the
mayor
state
made
some
mistakes
or
bad
decisions
that
were
outlined
in
this
assessment?
Yes,
do
I
think
they
were
a
vote
or
no
confidence
or
resignation?
R
No,
I
do
it's
my
belief.
The
notion
of
no
confidence
vote
or
for
organizations
that
do
not
elect
a
leader
or
management
figure
in
one
instance
would
be
a
union.
A
mandate
of
no
confidence
or
confidence
in
the
mayor
comes
from
the
voters
of
cranston.
Every
four
years,
if
the
voters
are
that
upset
about
the
mayor's
choice
in
settling
with
captain
antonucci
or
any
other
aspect
of
this
assessment,
they
can
express
that
15
months
from
now
on
election
day.
R
If
the
mayor
runs
for
reelection
a
couple
of
points
too,
the
person
that
ordered
the
following
of
that
I.t
person
out
of
the
city
of
cranston
no
longer
works
for
the
city.
It
was
not
the
mayor
that
ordered
that
it
was
colonel
palumbo
he's
not
here
anymore,
and
it
is
my.
I
believe
this
report
that
came
out
today
that
two-page
report
that
colonel
former
colonel
parry
did.
I
believe
that
refers
to
a
division
between
the
union
and
the
previous
administration,
because
this
report
was
done
prior
to
mayor
funk
coming
in
office.
R
V
V
I'm
sure
the
public's
aware
that
the
mayor
had
secret
negotiations
and
contracting
to
a
secret
agreement
with
with
captain
tanucci
that
this
council
had
no
involvement
at
all
and
we
couldn't
even
ratify
the
deal
in
which
he
gave
the
gravy
train
to
captain
fuji.
So
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
for
the
record
president.
Many.
But
let
me
now
speak
on
the
resolution.
V
V
I
see
a
lack
of
honesty
in
our
leader.
I
see
a
lack
of
sincerity
in
our
leader.
I
see
a
lack
of
integrity
and
truthfulness,
and
if
the
mayor
chooses
to
stay
another
year,
I'm
going
to
find
it
very
difficult
to
vote
on
items
that
he
puts
forward
on
his
agenda
because
dealing
with
this
administration
the
past
several
years,
they
have
not
been
above
board.
They
have
not
been
truthful
to
the
council,
we
request
documents,
we
request
information,
they
stonewall,
they
delay
when
colonel
o'donnell's,
four
page
letter
was
was
released.
V
The
first
thing
the
administration
did
was
say
it
was
a
personnel
matter
and
we
can't
release
it
to
the
council
because
it's
going
to
jeopardize
sensitive
litigation.
Unfortunately,
president
lanny
was
able
to
move
around
that
and
we
were
able
to
see
the
four
page,
a
letter
that
the
colonel
o'donnell
stated.
V
Then
the
state
police
report
was
finished
and
it
was
182
pages
and
again
the
administration
moved
to
block
information
from
the
public
and
they
played
the
personnel
card
and
they
said.
Oh,
we
can't
release
this
because
there's
sensitive
material
in
there
and
it's
not
should
not
be
viewed
by
the
public
and
they
try
to
stifle
information
for
a
second
time.
V
Fortunately,
colonel
o'donnell
had
the
courage
under
the
freedom
of
information
act
and
he
was
able
to
release
that
for
all
of
us
to
read
and
find
out
the
truth
find
out
the
truth.
What
was
going
on
in
our
city
and
in
our
police
department,
and
when
you
think
about
the
police,
you
think
about
people.
V
You
can
trust
and
people
you
feel
protected
with
in
people
that
you,
you
believe
in,
and
what
I
have
a
difficult
time
in
understanding
is
when
our
police
department
was
doing
unethical
things
and
our
police
department
was
being
used
to
promote
the
agenda
of
the
cranston
police
department
because
they
wanted
this
fabulous
contract
that
the
mayor
negotiated
with
his
best
buddy
steve
antonucci.
V
V
Who
he's
has
this
intimate
relationship
that
he
would
not
even
discipline
this
captain
when
his
captain
went
well
beyond
professional
code
of
ethics
and
standards,
intimidating
members
of
the
council,
bullying
the
personnel
director
in
order
for
her
to
turn
over
test
confidential
test
scores
beyond
setting
up
sergeant
joseph?
So
we
have
a
history
of
this
officer,
always
crossing
the
line
and
our
chief
public
safety
director
does
nothing,
does
nothing.
What
he
did
was
force
that
out
to
promote
the
captain.
V
V
W
Councilman
pat
blakas,
thank
you,
mr
council
president.
I
have
to
agree
with
councilman
farina
when
he
said
that
made
the
statement
that
missteps
were
done
with
the
police.
Yes,
there
were
some
missteps
that
were
taken,
but
do
I
have
no
confidence
in
the
mayor?
No,
I
have
confidence
in
the
mayor.
You
know
I'm
I'm
a
freshman
councilman.
W
I
have
a
nine-month
window
to
look
at
and
when
any
of
my
constituents
contact
me
in
ward
5,
regardless
of
the
issue
when
I
send
it
on
to
the
administration,
that's
led
by
mayor
fund,
it
gets
taken
care
of
and
things
get
fixed.
So
I
get
an
answer
right
away.
So
do
I
have
confidence
in
the
mayor
fund
to
leave
the
city?
I
do
have
confidence.
Were
there
missteps
in
the
police
department?
Do
we
maybe
need
a
public
safety?
Commissioner?
I
agree
with
that,
but
I
will
not
be
supporting
this.
Thank
you.
X
You
president,
first
I'd
like
to
ask
to
the
sponsors
what
the
purpose
of
the
what
this
resolute
the
purpose
of
this
resolution,
I'm
trying
to
determine
whether
it's
just
to
just
a
simple,
no
confidence
or
you're
asking
the
mayor
to
resign.
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out
what
it!
What
the
purpose
is.
X
Okay.
Okay,
let
me
let
me
address
a
few
things.
First
of
all,
it
basically
just
recites
everything,
that's
in
the
police
report
and
it's
almost
verbatim
to
address
the
the
captain
antonucci
matter.
I
think
it's
pretty
simple.
There
were
three
only
three
options
in
this
matter.
You
could
either
bring
him
back,
which
was
a
bad
idea,
admittedly,
but
it
would
be
the
least
costly
thing
for
the
department
to
do.
X
You
could
go
all
the
way
with
the
leah
board.
Proceeding
spend
another
100
150
000
in
legal
fees
and
the
most
probable
result.
According
to
attorney
augusta
who
came
before
us
to
to
discuss,
it
would
be
that
it
would
be
dragged
out
for
a
year,
maybe
two
years
and
then
in
the
meantime,
as
soon
as
captain
antonucci
got
to
his
desired
retirement
age,
he
would
pull
the
plug
and
the
case
disappears.
He
retires
and
it
and
we've
spent
that
extra
150,
000
plus
he's
been
on
the
payroll
and
gets
paid
whatever
vacation
and
sick.
X
He
has
coming
the
notion
that
so
that
the
middle
ground,
in
that
whole
thing
was
that
was
the
deal
that
was
actually
struck
with
the
consent
of
the
police
chief,
and
that
was
to
have
him
retire
and
settle
the
matter.
X
The
notion
that
we're
going
to
spend
millions
on
his
pension
is
just
a
fallacy
that
pension
was
earned
in
the
19
years
or
so
that
he
had
worked
for
the
for
the
department.
It
was
paid
for
both
by
the
city
and
himself
and
he
wouldn't
be
denied
a
pension
because
he
didn't
quite
make
20
years.
I
think
that
that's
a
you
know
misconception
he's
going
to
get
his
pension,
no
matter
what
and
with
in
looking
at
all
the
cases
in
rhode
island.
X
Unless
you
commit
a
felony,
no
one
is
going
to
be
denied
a
pension.
That's
the
state
law.
The
cases
follow
that
to
the
letter
and
even
someone
who's
actually
served
time
in
jail,
has
preserved
part
of
a
pension
according
to
some
of
the
case
law
in
rhode
island.
X
So,
to
suggest
that
we
that
there
was
another
option,
I
don't
think
there
was
certainly
it
would
have
been
nice
to
go
all
the
way
on
the
leah
board
and
you
terminate
them
and
makes
it
makes
it
makes
it
set
an
example
for
the
for
the
rest
of
the
department
and
for
the
city.
X
But
it
was
not
practical
under
the
laws
that
we
have
and
that
again
relates
to
the
leah
boy
thing
when
which,
ironically,
I
have
a
resolution
on
later,
which
I
think
everyone
supports,
asking
the
legislature
to
make
some
serious
changes
in
that
law,
because
it
really
elongates
these
proceedings
and
makes
them
last
far
too
long.
Costs
way
too
much
money
for
the
city
and
legal
fees
and
there's
really
nothing
we
can
do
about
it.
X
The
purpose
of
the
resolution
is
just
to
tarnish
the
the
mayor,
okay,
but
aren't
we
tarnishing
the
city
itself
when
we
do
that
in
looking
at
the
police
department
over
the
last
20
years,
we've
had
seven
chiefs
that
should
be
concerning
to
us
that's
less
than
three
year
average
for
every
chief,
and
I
suspect,
if
you
go
back
50
years,
you're
going
to
find
the
same
kind
of
thing
mr
carrera
made
it
made.
X
Mention
of
that
report,
which
I
haven't
even
seen,
but
something
interesting
in
it
was
that
the
this
notion
that
the
you
know
all
these
a
and
b
team
stuff
started
in
2009.
Is
that
really
not
correct,
because
there's
evidence
that
it
was
it
existed
prior
and
probably
existed
for
a
long
long
time?
X
I
noticed
and
to
suggest
that
this
is
it's
not
political.
In
the
crisis,
I
read
in
the
constant
herald
that
the
democratic
party
caucused
on
august
24th
to
to
determine
what
its
next
move
would
be.
So
if
it
wasn't
political,
then
why
would
you
need
to
discuss
it?
We're
talking
about
the
a
and
b
team?
And
yet,
if
we
wrote
no
confidence,
then
aren't
we
dividing
the
city
and
dividing
up
our
team.
We're
trying
to
do
things
together
and
make
things
happen.
X
The
issues
with
regard
to
things
that
our
constituents
want
roads
like
roads,
services,
taxes.
We
need
to
get
back
to
work
and
do
these
things
and
and
we're
not
doing
them
we're
distracting
our
work
so
that
we
can
continue
to
talk
about
these
issues.
The
I
know
that
councilman
stykos
mentioned
the
computer,
the
computer
man,
the
I.t
man,
didn't.
That
matter
was
resolved
within
a
matter
of
hours,
from
the
from
the
narrative
that
we
saw
in
the
police
report.
X
The
mayor
addressed
that
very
quickly
and
threatened
to
fire
chief
palumbo
if
he
didn't
show
up
in
his
office
the
next
morning.
With
regard
to
captain
dodd,
you
know
attorney
augusta.
Who
was
our
attorney
as
well
as
a
another
attorney
that
was
consulting
with
him,
made
the
determination
that
he
he
should
be
disabled,
that
that
he
should
go
out
on
a
pension
that
was
there
there's
evidence
of
that
there's
a
direct
line
of
communication.
X
Mr
cordy
was
a
very
disciplined
notetaker
and
I
know
that
there's
evidence
of
the
of
the
fact
that
all
of
that
information
was
provided
and
that
we
weren't
we
weren't
misled,
because
we
were
advised
by
the
attorneys
that
were
hired
and
admittedly
one
of
them
is
the
leading
expert
in
rhode,
island
and
this
council
brought
him
before
the
council
to
to
discuss
that
issue.
X
With
regard
to
mr
sergeant
josephson,
you
know
the
the
the
administrative
issues
with
regard
to
the
police
department
and
not
something
that
the
mayor
is
involved
in
every
day
of
the
week,
and
this
officer
had
two
attorneys
advising
him
when
he
made
his
deal,
whether
that
was
a
good
deal
or
not,
I
don't
know,
but
he
did
have
both
two
attorneys
representing
him,
so
we
can
only
go
so
far
with
what
we
can
do
there
there's
a
there's,
a
collective
bargaining
agreement.
X
There's
a
union
that
you
know,
and
I
think
that
the
administration
has
already
made
steps
to
try
to
rectify
that
situation
as
best
it
can
be
done
under
the
under
the
collective
bargaining
agreement.
X
With
regard
to
captain
paduano,
you
know:
there's
a
there's,
there's
a
definitely
a
gap
there
that
I'm
still
concerned
about
in
that
there
was
a
report
filed
by
the
from
the
state
police
to
the
the
colonel,
then
colonel
palumbo,
which
said
that
that
case
may
not
have
had
merit,
and
yet
that
information
was
never
communicated
to
the
administration
and
so
that
gap
caused
quite
a
bit
of
that
problem
and
it's
unfortunate
and
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
ways
in
which
we
can
tighten
up
those
regulations
so
that
that
information
doesn't
languish
and
that
it's
it
that
it
is
provided
to
the
mayor.
X
Now
you
know
we're
talking
about
interference,
is
it
interference
or
or
is
it
running
the
department?
I
think
that
one
criticism
I
could
levy
is
that
I
think
the
mayor
should
have
exercised
more
control
over
his
police
chief
and
not
less,
but
I
don't.
I
suspect
that
police
chiefs
do
not
want
to
have
the
mayor
looking
over
their
shoulder
all
the
time.
X
I
think
it's
you
know
we
put
our
police
chiefs
in
a
position
of
trust,
we
trust
their
their
work
ethic
and
their
integrity,
and
we
put
a
lot
of
faith
in
them
and
I
think
that's
what
we're
doing
now-
and
I
think
you
know
it's
just
unfortunate-
that
colonel
palumbo
didn't
live
up
to
the
standards.
I
think
that
most
police
chiefs
have.
Q
X
The
city
has
been,
you
know
we
need
to
get
back
to
the
work,
because
this
city
is
doing
very
well,
despite
what
we've
been
through
with
the
police
department
and
this
police
department
has
maintained
its
community
law
enforcement
accreditation
before,
during
and
after
this
police
state
police
assessment,
it's
amazing
they've
been
able
to
put
everything
aside
and
maintain
a
high
standard,
and
they
continue
to
do
so,
and
they
do
some
great
things
as
we've
seen
so
you
know
councilman
aceto,
he
made
you
know
quite
a
few
remarks,
but
back
in
I
don't
know
that
you
were
calling
for
one
of
our
former
mayors
to
step
down
when
the
city's
rainy
day
fund
was
completely
depleted
and
the
teachers
were
worried
about
getting
a
paycheck
back
in
the
early
2000s.
F
Thank
you,
mr
council.
President
councilman
vega,
you
seem
to
know
so
much
and
who
ordered
the
code
red
who
ordered
the
ticket
scandal
who
ordered
that
you're
saying
that
these
gaps
are
five
minutes
ten
minutes,
then
you
also
said
that
the
mayor
shouldn't
interfere
or
shouldn't
be
managing
the
department
day-to-day
in
one
sentence
and
in
the
next
sentence
you
said
or
a
couple
of
sentences
later.
He
needs
to
go
in
there
and
manage
to
make
sure
from
day
one.
F
F
V
Thank
you
for
the
chair
council
vecchio,
like
you,
gave
three
options
of
what
the
mayor
could
do
with
the
with
the
captain
anthony
matter.
Were
you
aware
that
captain
anthony
was
a
probationary
captain?
V
Yeah?
I
don't
know,
I'm
not
sure
probationary
means
you
stay
out
of
trouble
for
one
year
as
a
police
officer.
When
you
get
promoted,
you
stay
out
of
trouble
for
one
year
and
you
keep
the
rank.
Evidently,
in
my
opinion,
captain
anthony
violated
that
probation
with
ticket
gate
and
other
instances
we
we
found
out
about
subella
we
found
about
josephson
and
I'm
well
aware
that
the
mayor
was
aware
of
what
was
going
on
with
his
personnel
director.
V
So
in
lieu
of
these
short
companies,
shortcomings
by
by
the
captain,
the
mayor
had
the
option
to
demote
him
to
lieutenant
because
he
didn't
he
was
not
did
not
achieve
full
rank
of
captain.
X
Mayor
respond
council
president,
yes,
well,
councilman
arquetto,
I'm
talking
about
once
it
get
into
the
leah
war
process.
There
was
no
op.
You
could
not
do
that.
You
could
not
demote
him
once
he
filed
the
leah
board
request.
D
You,
council
president,
I
guess
council
of
council
minority
leader,
vickio's
objectivity
went
down
the
tubes
because
every
journey
I
talked
to
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
this
case
thought
this
was
questionable
behavior
at
best.
At
best
you
talk
about
colonel
palumbo.
He
was
the
mayor's
choice.
Remember
that
you
voted
for
him
and
all
of
a
sudden
you're
knocking
everything
he
did.
D
Colonel
colonel
palumbo,
colonel
colombo,
colonel
palumbo
was
at
fault.
That
was
the
mayor's
choice.
The
mirror's
inaction,
not
actions
the
mirror's
inactions
caused
padelano
case.
In
the
joseph
case
he
was
offered
90
000..
He
let
it
go.
He
turned
his
head
now
we're
getting
sued
for
5
million.
D
On
the
joseph
in
case,
a
first
year
law
student
could
figure
out.
That
was
a
violation
of
one
civil
rights.
First
year
law
student,
he
is
ultimately
responsible
for
everything
that
happens
under
his
watch
period
and
a
leader,
a
leader,
doesn't
turn
his
head
or
bury
his
face
in
the
sand.
He
faces
it
head
on.
Did
this
man
face
it
head
on?
No,
I
don't
know
I
don't
know
I
don't
know.
I
asked
him
three
questions,
three
questions
about
various
items
in
this
report.
I
don't
know-
I
don't
know,
I
don't
know.
D
T
Q
Y
A
D
With
santa
maria,
thank
you
council,
president
I'll
make
this
brief.
When
I
questioned
the
mayor
at
the
when
he
came
before
us,
we
talked
about
our
concerns
about
how
the
joseph
matter
was
handled.
He
agreed
with
with
with
us
that
it
should
be
taken
care
of.
He
didn't
take
care
of
it
for
a
year,
I'm
letting
that
go.
He
said
he's
going
to
take
care
of
it.
D
D
D
V
V
I
think
it's.
I
want
to
convince
councilman
san
maria
for
drafting
this
resolution.
Thank
you.
Councilman
botts.
R
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
agree
so
with
the
spirit
of
the
resolution,
but
I
think
there's
a
few
details
that
I
would
like
to
find
out
number
one.
If
the
position
is
restored-
and
I
guess
line
55
says
immediately
restore
so
if
that's
the
case,
let's
say
a
position
is:
is
it
going
to
be
an
acting
position?
Is
it
going
to
be
a
permanent
position
by.
T
D
Don't
know
exactly
how
they're
going
to
and,
as
you
know,
we
can't
negotiate
contracts.
This
is
just
a
resolution.
I
I
really
would
hope
that
we
would
leave
it
up
to
them
to
figure
out
how
they're
going
to
do
it,
but
talking
to
the
union
and
talking
to
the
administration,
their
intent
is
to
get
him
restored.
R
R
Z
This
obviously
was
brought
to
our
attention
due
to
the
report,
and
this
is
new
to
us.
We
have
sat
down
with
the
mayor
and
we
will.
There
is
some
contractual
issues
with
this.
It
could
affect
negatively
impacted
members
in
some
way,
but
we
we
have
in
preliminary
discussions
with
the
mayor.
We
think
there's
a
way
we
could
resolve
it
to
help
officer
josephson.
Z
R
I
mean
I
don't
know
if
immediately
restore
is
a
good
wording
and
maybe
it
should
be
changed.
I
don't
know
how.
D
About
if
we
friendly
amendment
take
out
the
rule
immediately
and
as
soon
as
possible
or
maybe.
R
F
I
would
not
vote
for
anything
else
that
doesn't
say
immediately.
Let
me
tell
you
why.
Okay,
first
of
all,
the
difference
is
pay.
According
to
my
research
is
about
a
hundred
dollars
more
a
week
to
move
him
from
senior
patrolman
to
where
he's
at
to
sergeant
that's
fifty
two
hundred
dollars
a
year,
that's
not
going
to
kill
the
city.
Second
of
all,
I
think
the
ibp
po
and
the
mayor
are
smart
enough
to
know
that
if
they
create
another
sergeant's
position,
I
think
the
members
who
on
the
promotion
list
now
this
above
and
beyond.
F
What's
there,
I
don't
think
any
of
those
guys
are
going
to
worry
about.
You
know
that
he
got
promoted
right
away.
They
might
be
one
patrolman
short
and
we
might
have
to
address
that
the
next
budget
cycle,
but
other
than
that
this
guy's
been
screwed.
I
can't
use
another
word
in
english
dictionary.
That's
probably
the
best
word
to
use,
and
he
should
be
reinstated
immediately
and
that's.
W
Paplockus.
Thank
you,
mr
council.
President.
I
see
the
colonels
here
I
like
to
ask
the
colonel
what
you
would
do
with
an
extra
sergeant
if
you
have
a
place
to
fit
them
in
how
you
would
make
it
work.
E
Well,
I
actually
met
with
the
mayor
as
well
and
the
ibpo,
and
that
20th
sergeant
position
in
my
estimation,
would
work
well
in
our
prosecution
division.
We
have
two
inspectors
that
work
in
the
division.
Now
it's
the
one
detective
division
that
does
not
have
a
sergeant
in
charge
of
it.
It's
a
very
important
position
and
most
departments
across
the
state
have
a
ranking
officer
in
charge
of
their
prosecution
divisions.
Thank
you.
X
E
Before
I
took
over,
as
chief
a
policy
was
instituted
that
no
officer
can
record
another
secretly
record
another
person
inside
or
outside
the
station,
so
that
policy
was
put
in
place
after
the
fact.
But
before
I
took
over.
X
As
chief
okay-
and
you
continue
that
policy-
obviously
that's
correct.
Okay.
Thank
you
now,
one
other
question.
Council
president,
through
the
chair,
I
guess
to
mr
quinlan,
the
you
know.
My
only
concern
about
this
is
that
under
section
chapter,
three
section
3.19,
the
non-interference
and
administrative
matters
section
of
the
charter.
Do
we
have
any
issue
with
trying
to
impact
something
like
this?
Okay,.
AA
I
believe,
because
a
resolution
is
merely
an
expression
of
the
will
of
the
council.
I
don't
think
that
that
could
violate
that
section
on
non-interference.
It's
urging
the
mayor
to
write
what
has
been
perceived
as
a
wrong
by
members
of
the
council,
but
I
do
not
believe
that
that
contradicts
the
non-interference
because
they're
not
directing
they
have
no
power
to
direct
them,
to
put
officer
josephson
in
any
position,
but
merely
to
recommend
and
state
that
it's
the
will
of
the
council
that
they
remedy
the
situation.
By
putting
him
back
into
sergeant.
AA
AA
Think
the
liability
issues
were
presented
in
the
state
police
report.
I
think
this
is
an
attempt
to
mitigate
those
liability
issues.
I
don't
think
that
this
any
more
than
the
state
police
report
creates
a
liability
issue
respectfully
and.
R
I
can
propose
a
friendly
amendment
if
you'd
like
and
I
it
would
contain
the
word
immediately
to
satisfy
councilman
aceto,
but
I
was
thinking
of
something
of
line
55
after
the
word.
Well,
it
begins
fung
and
then
two
immediately
begin
or
continue
to
conduct
negotiations
with
the
appropriate
parties
to
restore,
and
then
it
would
be
officer
matthew
josephson.
I
don't
know
I'd
put
that
forth
as
a
friendly
amendment.
D
Can
you
present,
can
we
get
that
red
again
for
the
clerk
I
didn't
catch
it
all
I'd,
be.
R
Y
E
A
No,
the
amendment
passes
6'3,
okay
on
the
amended
resolution
clerk.
Please
take
the
role.
Y
Y
A
F
F
R
Thank
you,
council
president,
during
costa,
repercostar
also
contacted
me
as
well.
I
didn't
realize
we
had
dueling
resolutions,
but
it
is
a
worthwhile
resolution.
I
think
the
museum
also
has
a
lease,
that's
being
broken
by
the
morale
and
airport
corporation,
which
is
very
unfortunate.
I
think
they
should
reconsider
again
it's
in
the
rightful
place
in
quonset
a
lot
of
history
there
with
the
seabees
in
aviation.
So
I
hope
my
colleagues
would
approve
this
resolution.
W
You
council,
president
laney,
if
you
don't
mind,
I'd
like
to
be
added
as
a
sponsor
of
this,
I
spent
many
days
down
there
and
volunteered
down
there
in
the
past
and
and
helped
out,
and
a
lot
of
hurdles
jumped
through
replace
the
roof,
a
lot
of
maintenance
things,
and
this
is
a
jewel
of
the
state
and
a
treasure,
and
it
belongs
in
quanta
and
it
needs
to
stay
there.
So
I
support
this.
A
Councilman
cyclos.
F
Council
president,
may
I
speak,
I
believe
it
doesn't
fit
in
their
plan
of
what
their
vision
is
for
that
park.
I
mean
that
park
has
been
developed.
You
know
pretty
good
a
whole
bunch
of
new
companies
have
come
down
green
core.
What
not
and
I
think,
they're
gonna.
You
know
it's
it's
in
such
a
spot
that
they
want
to
try
to
use
that
space
for
something
else,
and
I
think
they've
tried
to
secure
land
down
there
in
another
part
of
the
park
and
they
haven't
been
successful,
so
we're
the
rhode
island,
the
quantity.
Y
A
Yes,
next
resolution,
the
resolution
of
proving
the
creation
high
school
west
rfe
commercial,
black,
six
total.
D
You,
council
president,
this
resolution
just
is
required
by
the
grant
grant
writer
ken
folovsky.
It
is
forwarded
to
the
commerce
department
where
we
got
the
grant,
so
it's
just
basically
a
resolution
of
donning
the
ice
and
crossing
the
t.
So
I
urge
passage.
Y
F
A
Yes
motion
the
resolution
unanimously
moving
on
ordnance
committee
chairman
akero.
Thank.
V
You,
council,
bersalini.
We
have
a
resolution
calling
upon
the
brown
general
assembly
to
modify
provisions,
the
law
enforcement
officer's
bill
of
rights
to
provide
transparency,
reduced
costs
for
cities
and
towns
sponsored
by
ludwig
vecchio.
I
believe
there
were
some
amendments,
but
they
didn't
pass
in
committee.
I'm
moving
this
to
sent
create
a
study
commission
because
I
think
there's
some
members
who'd
like
to
instill
some
of
those
amendments
in
this
resolution.
A
D
Here's
here's
my
issue.
I
thought
when
we
talked
to
the
minority
leader,
we
were
we
we
liked
it,
but
we
wanted
to
make
some
cosmos
like
us
wanting
to
make
some
amendments
other
amendments
in
this
this
now,
so
we
haven't
really
done
anything
yet
so
why
can't
we
recommit
and
do
it
in
in
in
a
committee
and
and
make
the
changes
there
forming
a
study
commission.
V
Well,
I
know
I
have
some
ideas
that
I'd
like
to
implement
also
that
didn't
weren't
part
of
the
committee
process.
So
that's
why
I
was
thinking
about
the
study
commission,
but
if
you
want
to
recommit
back
to
committee,
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
tom.
I
just.
D
V
V
P
Through
the
chair,
we
need
clarification
on
the
motion.
Is
it
to
refer.
R
Botts,
thank
you,
council
president.
I
believe
it
was
the
will
of
the
committee
that
we
didn't
want
to
get
very
specific
on
the
changes
to
the
resolution,
because
we
don't
legislate
the
leaderboard
statute.
That's
up
to
the
general
assembly
to
do
and
councilman
steikos
did
propose
amendments
the
night
of
the
committee
meeting
and
there
they
were
voted
down
for
that
specific
reason.
R
A
Okay,
councilman
farina.
T
Thank
you
council
president.
My
only
want
in
moving
this
back
to
committee
was
today
we
received
an
email
from
the
national
representative
for
the
ibpo,
and
I
would
just
like
for
the
ibpo
in
general
to
give
us
their
sentiments
and
statements
on
the
resolution
before
we
pass
it.
No
one
was
at
the
meeting
when
we
did
approve
it.
That
would
be
my
only
rationale
for
continuing
it
to
give
them
the
opportunity,
as
a
group
to
speak
on
it.
X
Thank
you,
council
president.
Well,
it's
been
noticed
for
two
meetings,
no
one
they
were
here
early.
Well,
we
have
a
representative
from
from
local.
I
don't
know
if
he
can
speak
on
their
behalf,
but
I
mean
they've
had
the
opportunity.
This
is
merely
a
resolution
to
ask
the
general
assembly
to
look
at
possible
changes.
I
mean
we're
screaming
about
all
of
the
problems
that
happened
with
in
all
of
the
course
of
the
leab
process,
and
now
we
want
to
be
timid
about
sending
this
up
to
the
general
assembly.
X
I'd
be
willing
to
go
up
to
the
general
assembly
with
councilman
steichos
to
try
to
promote
the
specifics.
I
mean
I
understand
what
you
you,
you,
where
you
were
heading
with
that.
I
think
you
have
some
good
ideas.
I
think
what
would
happen
if
it's
too
specific
is
that
it's
going
to
get
lost
in
the
shuffle
up
there.
I
think
it
would
be
better
for
us
to
actually
testify
before
the
general
assembly,
with
with
some
specific
suggestions
and
maybe
even
meet
with
speaker
mattiello
beforehand,
who's
from
branston.
X
D
Thank
council
president,
I
am
going
to
use
councilman
bach's
term.
I
agree
with
the
intent.
I
I
like
the
intent
of
this.
I
just
think
this
may
be
too
general.
You
you're
worried
about
being
too
specific.
I
think
it
may
be
too
general
we
we
would
need
somebody
from
the
cranston
delegation
to
floor
manage
this.
D
I
would
suggest.
Maybe
we
meet
with
whoever
is
going
to
floor
manage
this
if
it
gets
because
they're
going
to
have
to
put
in
something
to
change
the
leah
war,
I
just
think
it
might
be
a
little
too
general
right
now.
I
think
maybe
we
need
to.
I
know
you
don't
want
to
be
too
specific,
but
I
think
it's
too
general.
I
think
we
need
to
meet
somewhere
in
the
middle.
So
I
wanna,
I
wanna
pass
this,
but
I
just
don't
think
it
it
has
enough
teeth.
It's
not.
A
T
You,
council
president,
I
actually
agree
with
you
councilman
favichio.
I
think
this
is
a
fine
resolution.
I
like
the
way
it's
crafted.
I
would
go
up
to
the
state
house
and
testify
with
you
and
councilman
psychos.
I
just
want
to
give
the
opportunity
for
the
union
to
say
that
peace.
I
know
it's
been
on
the
docket
twice
and
I
respect
that
opinion,
but
there's
been
so
much
going
on
in
cranston
in
the
last
two
months
regarding
the
police,
I
think
they
were
more
concerned
with
things
having
to
do
with
police
reports
and
lawsuits.
X
I
respond
council
president
councilman,
thank
you.
I'd
be
happy
to
you
know,
send
a
letter
to
them
to
to
ask
them
to
participate
with
us.
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
that.
I
just
think
you
know
we're
talking
about.
We
need
to
get
this
moving,
because
this
is
obviously
a
problem.
That's
hit
us
pretty
hard
and
we
need
to.
We
need
to
try
to
address
it,
and
I
think
this
is
just
one
one
step.
D
I
I'll
go
up
to
the
state
house
too,
and,
and
with
you
guys,
my
my
issue
is:
what
are
we
asking
them?
If
you
read
this,
what
are
we
asking
them
to
do
we're
not
sending
it
to
the
delegation
who's
gonna,
who's,
gonna
floyd
manage
it
if
they
put
in
a
bill,
we're
not
specific
enough
on
what
we're
gonna
do
with
this
after
we
vote
for
it.
Q
Don
was
accurate.
I
proposed
a
couple
of
amendments
in
committee.
To
be
specific,
I
felt
as
you
did,
that
as
you
do,
that
you
can't
just
say
it's
a
it's
all
messed
up.
You
need
to
say
here's
how
you
should
change
it
at
least
get
the
discussion
going,
but
that
was
not
the
majority
opinion
in
committee
so
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
his
version
was
accurate
now
mike.
So
what
you're
proposing
is
that
this
resolution
pass
and
then
I
under
that's
the
beginning
and
then
the
end.
Q
X
Perhaps,
and
if
I
may,
council
president,
maybe
a
subcommittee
if
whoever's
wants
to
go
up
there,
maybe
we
meet
meet
with
the
ibpo,
come
up
with
some
specifics
to
testify
with,
because
I
think
what
would
happen
is
if
you
try
to
be
very
specific,
we're
going
to
meet
just
the
way
the
the
ordinance
committee
went,
it
went
back
and
forth
and-
and
we
couldn't
get
the
amendment
you
know
you
weren't
able
to
get
amendments
agreed
upon
here.
X
Imagine
at
the
state
house,
so
I
think
the
my
idea
would
be
to
formulate
some
some
points
that
and
specifics
that
we
want
the
general
assembly
to
consider,
but
do
it
for
our
presentation,
and
maybe
we
make
it.
You
know
a
larger
effort
than
we
normally
do.
We
usually
send
resolutions
up
there
and
we
don't
always
go
testify,
but
this
one
is
so
important.
I
I
have
no
problem
with
the
subcommittee
that
you
know
actually
carries
forward
with
this.
A
Any
other
discussion
can
I
make
my
two
cents,
mr
sokoto,
when
he
sent
us
that
letter
today,
perhaps
an
interesting
point.
A
If
you
read
the
letter,
he
said
everybody's
concerned
about
the
cost
of
the
policeman's
bill
of
rights,
the
liable
proceedings,
but
he
questions
where
the
course
really
occurred.
Do
they
occur
on
the
administration
side
or
on
the
union
side.
A
A
A
X
The
intention
is
certainly
not
to
blame
the
union
for
any
of
this,
the
process
itself
and
and
councilman
steigles,
and
I
agree
on
the
fact
that
the
time
frames
and
what
we
I
think,
what
we're
suggesting
are
a
bigger
problem,
not
the.
I
know
that
there's
some
confidentiality
issues
that
the
policemen
would
want
to
keep,
and
I
understand
that
I
think
that
they're
entitled
to
that.
X
I
just
want
to
speed
up
the
process.
There's
a
180
days,
the
officer
gets
paid
well,
you
know,
while
the
process
is
going
on,
so
that's
in
the
state
statute
already
the
process.
They
never
seem
to
last
six
months.
They
seem
to
last
years,
so
I
think
it
was
more
the
time
frame.
I
don't
think
we
was
never
my
intention
at
least
to
to
dig
into
the
some
of
the
confidentiality
issues
that
that
need
to
be
protected.
X
I
think,
certainly
we
should
be
advised
of
certain
things
in
executive
session
that
we're
not,
but
I
don't
think
the
administration
is
even
allowed
to
hear
some
of
that.
So
I
that
was
never
my
intention.
I
I
I
I
have
a
strong
feeling
about
confidentiality
because
of
my
my
legal
training,
but
that
certainly
is
not
the
intention
of
this.
X
I
think
it's
the
time
frames
and
try
to
speed
up
the
process,
somehow
the
because
of
the
fact
that
it
takes
so
long
to
to
get
a
panel
in
together
to
hear
them
as
a
three
but
as
councilman
styko
said
it
takes,
it
can
take
forever
and
if
one
one
isn't
is
rejected
and
then
there's
there's
one
on
each
side
and
then
they
pick
a
a
third
person.
There's
always
a
you
know.
X
It
just
seems
like
a
very
cumbersome
process
so
that
that's
the
only
reason
that
that
I
that
I
brought
this
forward.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
what
the
union
or
the
administration
does.
I
think
once
you're
into
that
system.
You
lose
track
of
time.
That's
that's.
I
think
that
was
one
of
our
big
things.
Counseling.
D
I
thank
you,
council
president,
I'm
still
not
getting
my
question
answered.
We
passed
this
resolution
hypothetically.
What
happens
to
it?
Where
does
it
go?
Does
it
go
and
sit
on
the
speakers
or
on
his
desk?
Who
is
going
to
lead
the
charge
up
at
the
state
house?
It
can't
be.
Any
of
us
has
to
be
somebody
who,
in
the
cranston
delegation,
is
going
to
lead
the
charge.
Should
we
spoke
to
anybody
in
the
constant
delegation.
Are
they
willing
to
put
in?
None
of
these
things
are
being
answered
forming
a
subcommittee
or
anything
like
that.
D
We
still
have
to
figure
out
who
we're
going
to
give
this
to
is
josh
miller
going
to
do
it
on
the
senate
end
hannah
gallo?
We
don't
there's
nothing
in
here
that
says
what
happens
to
this
resolution.
We
want
something
to
happen,
but
we're
not
we're
doing
part
two.
Yet
we
need
to
to
put
down
let's
go
into
the
cranston
delegation,
and
we
probably
need
to
contact
someone
from
the
crimson
delegation
to
find
out
who's
going
to
do
it.
Oh
it's
just
going
to
sit
there.
I've
worked
there.
I
know.
X
I
respect
you,
thank
you,
council
president.
Well,
how
are
we
going
to
get
it
there?
That's
the
question:
if
we
don't
pass
a
resolution
and
we
don't
form
a
subcommittee,
it
it'll
never
get
anywhere.
You
know
I'm
just
trying
to
move
it
forward.
You
know
I'm
open
to
suggestions,
but
we've
already
been
through.
X
D
AA
AA
D
Okay,
so
if
you
want
to
work
on,
hopefully
someone
will
be
a
sponsor,
we
could
do
that,
I
mean,
should
we
contact
one
of
them
and
and
find
out
if
they
want
to
take
this
on,
just
don't
want
it,
and
I
I
want
this
to
get
up
there.
I
just
don't
want
it
to
sit
there.
I
mean
neither,
nor
do
I
so
that's
why
I'm
trying
to
help
you.
Have
it
not
sit
there.
Q
U
R
Going
to
spearhead
a
resolution
through
the
general
assembly,
but
I'd
be
willing
to
withdraw
my
motion.
If
it's
the
will
of
the
council
to
recommit
it
to
ordinance.
X
Yeah,
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
that.
If
we
want
to
send
it
back
to
ordnance
and
try
to
get
the
I
I
don't
know
what
you're
going
to
do,
but
try
to
get
the
speaker
involved
in
it
early
is
that
I
don't
know
what
the
intention
is
and.
Q
You
and
I'll
certainly
have
some
suggestions
about
it
that
we
we
try
to
focus
in
on
on
some
points.
I
know
you're
talking
about
the
delays,
the
time
frames
and
that
then
the
committee
could
decide
you
know.
Yeah,
we
agree
with
the
time
frame
is
the
problem,
but
we
don't.
For
instance,
I
think
I
said
a
committee.
I
thought
the
three-member
panel
was
a
problem.
Maybe
people
decide?
No.
Q
The
three-member
panel
is
not
a
problem
so
that
we
can
focus
at
least
our
our
our
complaints
with
the
current
law,
and
then
we
have
those
points,
and
then
we
decide
how
we,
you
know
who
we
go
for
a
sponsor,
and
that
would
be
my
suggestion.
Okay,.
A
Q
I
just
I
want
to
go
to
the
point
that
you
made
council
president.
I
think
we
should
get
some
information.
A
A
C
A
D
A
V
T
Yes,
I
had
a
couple
of
constituents,
call
and
complain
about
boat
trailer
parking
on
the
streets
in
on
woodbury,
road
and
parkway
ave.
One
of
the
streets
has
a
no
boat
trailer
parking
sign.
I
know
we
discussed
in
committee.
The
idea
of
you
know
stopping
the
right
of
way
for
boats.
However,
looking
at
this,
it
was
a
traffic
safety
issue.
Both
trails
were
parking
on
one
side
of
the
street
and
the
issue
is
safety.
Vehicles
cannot
get
down
the
street,
hence
the
need
for
the
ordinance.
AB
F
Q
D
T
T
If
they
stop
parking
their
boats
on
streets
that
are
wider
or
find
adequate,
off-street
parking
that's
allowed,
but
again
I'm
willing
to
try
this
as
a
solution
to
help
remedy
the
issue.
If
it
doesn't
work,
I'm
sure
councilman
psychos
and
I
will
get
together
and
bash
our
heads
against
the
wall
and
figure
out
how
to
stop
people
from
creating
public
safety.
You
shouldn't
award
one
I'll
support.
It.
X
You,
council,
president,
through
the
chair
to
the
sponsor.
I
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
this.
I
I
heard
from
some
people
about
boat
trailers
and
there
really
is
no
regulation
of
boat
trailers
of
the
size
of
boat
trailers
that
could
be
parked
even
in
the
in
a
driveway
and
they've,
become
an
aesthetic
issue
for
a
lot
of
people,
even
in
in
your
ward
as
well.
X
T
To
to
resort
retort,
I
did
get
some
phone
calls
from
concerned
residents
who
thought
this
was
limiting
boat
trailer
parking
in
their
homes,
which
brought
up
two
different
factors:
people
who
wanted
me
to
get
an
ordinance
on
the
books
that
actually
stopped
people
from
parking
boats
in
the
driveway
and
people
who
were
vehemently
against
us
drafting
an
ordinance,
not
parking
boats
in
the
driveway.
So
I
think
to
your
your
point:
it's
we're
gonna!
Have
we
can
look
at
that?
We'll
have
to
be
very
cautious
as
to
how
we
do
it
in
certain
streets.
T
B
A
V
Next
7-15-02
audience
amendment
title
10,
chapter
32,
city,
cranston,
2005,
motor
vehicles
and
traffic
princess
al
farmington.
Now
four-way
stop
sign.
This
has
been
recommended
by
the
neighbors.
There
was
a
four-way
stop
sign,
but
in
the
recent
past
the
administration
took
down
one.
I
guess
two
of
the
four
stops
because
it
wasn't
an
ordinance
on
the
books.
It's
just
to
correct
that.
So
they
can
re-uh
configure
the
stop
signs
here.
U
V
Yes,
next
item,
I
would
like
this
letter
for
mr
murphy
to
be
entered
the
record
and
I
think
former
councilman
fogerty
spoke
on
this,
so
I'm
going
to
withdraw
this
five-way
stop.
This
needs
to
be
a
further
study
by
the
traffic
and
engineer.
V
A
Most
remaining
second
to
approve
any
discussion.
Let's
hear
from
mr
paula
first,
then
we
can
cross-examine
them.
N
N
A
requirement
of
the
fema
and
the
requirement
for
continued
participation
in
the
national
flood
insurance
program
is
that
we
basically
re-adopt
a
flood
insurance
program
of
the
flood
ordinances,
reflecting
the
updates
and
whenever
we
do
that,
it's
an
opportunity
to
revisit
the
floodplain
elements
and
make
corrections.
We
did
that
this
is
our
third
time
doing
this.
In
fact,
the
definitions,
the
changes
in
the
definitions
is
this
time.
Fema
came
back
and
suggested
that
we
use
in
our
floodplain
ordinances.
N
The
definitions
is
provided
in
the
legislation
establishing
fema,
so
what
we
did
I
did
is
strip
out
the
definitions
that
were
sort
of
our
definitions
and
resubstituted
famous
definitions
for
the
definitions,
both
in
the
definition
section
and
the
flood
plain
ordnance.
That's
a
very
quick
explanation.
The
definition
definitions
that
you
see
are
the
definitions
that
fema
suggests
that
we
use
and
who
am
I,
the
question
of
fema
so
keep
them
happy
there.
Any
questions.
A
N
N
No,
what
the
ordinance
says
and
has
said
since
you
first
adopted
it
in
the
70s,
is
that
we're
more
strict
now
what
the
ordinance
says
now
is
that
if
you're
in
the
floodway,
which
is
the
restrictive
portion
of
the
floodplain,
you
can't
build.
If
you
are
in
the
floodplain,
you
can
build,
but
you
have
to
build
to
certain
performance
standards.
It's
protection.
It's
it's
basically
elevating
above
the
floodplain,
it's
providing
for
compensatory
storage.
D
N
Two
parts
to
the
floodplain
one
part
is
called
the
flood.
There
are
many
parts,
but
in
the
100-year
floodplain
there's
a
portion
called
the
flood
waves,
but
I
tell
everybody
it's
where
the
current
goes:
it's,
where
the
houses
wash
away
our
ordinance,
which
is
not
required
by
free
model
enough
power,
and
it
says
you
can't
build
in
that.
So
if
there's
no
house
stand
out,
you
can't
put
a
house
here
and
then
there's
the
remainder
of
the
flood
plain
where
the
water
goes
in
a
100-year
event.
N
C
N
A
T
T
P
When
the
these
were
introduced,
we
suspended
the
role
of
referring
them
to
committee
and
advertised
the
public
hearing
directly
before
the
full
council,
because
there
were
some
timing
issues
in
having
these
approved
to
meet
some
deadlines
with
with
regard
to
I
I
guess
the
fee
is
it
fema,
but
the
director
can
speak
to
that.
That's.
T
P
Hold
on
one
second
referred
directly
to
the
city
council
for
hearing
because
of
the
deadlines,
and
that
was
in
my
conversations
with
the
director
as
to
when
they
were
going.
The
other
two
that
were
introduced
did
go
to
committee
and
were
advertised
for
committee,
but
the
public
hearings
were
advertised
for
this
evening.
T
A
N
I
may
the
floodplain
maps
become
effective
october,
2nd
2015.,
what
fema
in
the
past
I'll
do
what
in
the
past
in
the
past,
if
fema
believed
you
were
adopting,
they
give
you
time
to
work
through
the
adoption.
Females
come
back
to
us
and
said
that
if
the
ordinances
are
not
adopted
prior
to
that
they
were
suspended
from
the
flood
insurance
program
when,
by
the
time
this
is
on,
I
wish
I
was
a
free
agent
on
all
this,
but
at
times
this
went
up
to
rima
into
fema.
N
For
now
they
don't
approve
them
beforehand.
They
give
an
indication
that
this
was.
They
would
accept
these
by
the
time
I
got
them
back
for
review.
There
wasn't
time
on
the
august,
which
is
when
we
that's
august
to
advertise
it
for
the
ordinance
committee.
We
wanted
to
get
it
in
and
pass
in
august.
In
case
there
was
a
problem
that
gives
us
a
september
to
correct
it.
If
we
hear
this
in
september
and
there's
a
problem
that
we
can't
pass
these
for
whatever
reason,
then
we
lose
our
rules,
participation
in
the
flood
insurance
program.
N
C
N
Can't
be
passed
at
least,
it
gives
me
a
month
to
correct
it.
If
we
wait
until
september-
and
that
was
the
thinking
of
the
times
we
wait
until
september
there's
a
problem,
it
doesn't
get
passed,
we're
out
of
the
flood
insurance
program
and
it'll
be
an
awful
lot
of
unhappy
people
which
I
can't
blame.
So.
N
N
E
V
N
N
Have
a
date
in
front
of
me,
but
by
the
time
I
got
them
back,
they
were
ready
for
submission
in
in.
If
I
believe
in
my,
why
move
them.
V
N
V
C
N
V
X
Z
X
We
need
an
emotion
motion
to
approve.
A
B
B
V
Q
N
Once
again,
what
the
requirements
for
participation
in
the
national
flood
insurance
program
is
that
you
have
a
locally
doppled
adopted
regulatory
scheme
to
regulate
development.
In
the
flood
plain
we
have
had
one
since
1972,
when
we
got
our
first
maps
is
the
requirement
is
when
you
have
new
maps,
are
issued.
You
re-adopt
the
ordinance
at
a
minimum
to
reflect
the
maps
and
work.
We
did
that
in
2009.
We
did
that
in
2000.
N
I
think
it
was
in
2013..
We
were
again
doing
it
in
2015,
because
they're
issuing
new
maps,
so
it's
basically
stripping
out
the
existing
ordinance,
because
it's
easier
to
take
out
everything
than
just
change
specific
sections
in
restating
the
floodplain
ordinance.
This
ordinance
is
basically
the
same
that
you've
seen
in
2009-2013.
N
Q
And
then
it
changes
to
reflect
the
current.
N
Maps
the
maps
as
as
will
be
existing
in
october,
2nd
2013
changes
that
when
we
did
it
in
2013
fema,
suggested
some
language
as
to
the
level
of
flood
protection.
That
added
some
ambiguity
as
to
how
high
we
had
to
protect
how
much
we
had
to
protect
new
and
substantially
improved
houses.
So
I
worked
out
with
fema
some
improved
language
to
make
sure
that's
clear
and
fema
has
asked
it,
and
we
did
that
to
add
some
additional
regulations
to
our
coastal,
a
zones
and
the
earth.
N
Part
of
the
coastal
liaisons
is
an
area
called
the
limited
limwa
limited
areas
of
limited
wave
action
and
that's
what
the
major
changes
are
and.
Z
N
R
N
No,
the
insurance-
this
gets
into
a
much
more
philosophical,
but
the
insurance
of
what
the
insurance
companies
say
they
are
or
what
fema
says
they
are.
So
it
depends
on
where
your
house
is
how
high
it
is
elevated
out
of
the
floodplain,
because,
with
your
first
livable
floor,
they
set
the
rates.
This
ordinance
wouldn't
necessarily
affect
the
rates
except
that
for
new
houses.
We
require
and
that's
also
building
codes.
N
R
My
concern
is
we're
suspending
the
rules,
we're
seeing
this
for
the
first
time
and
then,
if
there
was
a
result,
you
know
someone's.
I
guess,
flood
insurance
went
up
that
we
could.
The
only
thing
we
could
say,
then,
is
blame
fema
because
they
railroaded
this
through.
So
that
was
my
concern,
but
it
it
seems
like
what
you're
saying
is.
It
would
affect
new
structures,
because
you
have
to
build
it
at
a
certain
height
and
that
existing
structures,
it
would
only
be
from
their
insurance
providers
due
to
other
forces
exactly
okay.
Thank
you.
Y
Q

A
A
A
A
Next
on
the
agenda
safety
services
committee-
councilman
farina-
I
believe
you
chaired
that
committee.
I.
T
Did
council
president?
Thank
you.
The
only
thing
on
the
docket
tonight
is
the
appeal
for
the
denial
of
a
license
for
body
works
license
for
massage
therapy.
This
was
for
sun
massage.
It
was
denied
unanimously
by
the
safety
services
and
license
committee.
The
reason
for
the
denial
was
twofold,
based
on
the
recommendation
of
the
police
department
and
reviewing
the
applicant's
application.
T
She
was
the
only
person
to
come
before
us
for
a
massage
parlor
that
had
24
rooms
due
to
the
size
and
the
fact
that
she
was
the
only
person
under
our
new
bodyworks
license
ordinance.
All
employees
are
to
come
before
us
for
approval
with
licensing
from
the
state.
She
admitted
that
she
had
workers
working
for
her
and
there
were
no
additional
people
with
her
for
approval.
For
those
two
reasons,
we
deny
the
application
unanimously.
AD
P
I
think
there's
some
communication
issues.
She
does
not
have
a
license
from
the
city
of
cranston.
What
she
does
have
with
the
application
is
she's
a
licensed
or
certified
therapist
with
the
state
health
department,
not
the
city.
D
Thank
you
council
president,
through
the
chair
to
vice
chair
farina.
What
would
you
remember
what
the
vote
was
on
this
unanimous
against
unanimous
to
deny.
A
All
right,
you
have
a
rhode
island,
massage
therapist
license
come
forward
to
the
microphones.
Do.
AE
AE
License
are
you
going
to
give
it
up,
but
the
road
dividing
license
can
be
used
for
cranston
right.
Cranston
is
part
of
the
road
like
rhode,
island.
A
AE
A
A
96
wall
square
city
court,
give
you
any
comments
on
this.
P
I
I
I
have
no
comments.
Is
there
any
specific
information
that
you're
looking
for
from
the
file.
T
President,
this
was
the
establishment
that
was
operating
in
the
city
without
a
city
license
that
the
police
went
and
shut
down.
She
then
came
before
us
at
the
last
safety
services.
Community
truth
be
told
it
was
on
the
safety
services
and
licensing
committee.
In
june
the
applicant
did
not
appear
open.
The
business
began,
giving
massages
without
a
city
license.
The
police
then
went
in
and
shut
her
down.
R
Thank
you,
council
president
should
also
be
noted
that
the
reason
cranston
police
went
there
was
because
there
was
an
advertisement
on
backpage.com,
as
we
all
know,
that
website
is
usually
not
used
for
legitimate
businesses
that
are
offering
massage
therapy
they're,
usually
offering
something
else.
That's
not
legit,
so
I
think,
given
the
fact
that.
R
Came
before
the
council
didn't
come
before,
the
council
in
june
operated
her
business
without
a
license
in
july,
and
given
the
fact
that
her
means
of
advertising
were
suspect,
I
was
very
against
offering
a
any
kind
of
license
to
the
establishment,
but
she
says
she
has
a
massage
therapy
license
and
I'm
curious
through
the
chair
of
the
clerk.
What
kind
of
license
she
applied
for
with
the
city.
P
It
was,
it
was
originally
listed
on
the
agenda
because
we
weren't
sure
of
the
nature
of
the
operation
what
she
was
going
to
be
providing,
and
that
would
have
been
addressed
at
the
meeting
when
she
appeared
for
the
license
as
to
what
exactly
this,
what
services
she
was
going
to
be
providing
all
of
that.
But
again,
I
think
she
did
indicate
at
the
meeting.
There
were
other
employees
working
for
her,
which
were
not
licensed.
P
AD
AE
A
Well,
I'm
not
experiencing
this,
so
I'm
not
going
to
come
any
further.
She
has
to
reapply.
AE
A
A
So
counseling.
R
A
Thank
you
claims
committee,
councilman,
povecchio.
X
Thank
you,
council
president.
We
met
and
settled
nine
claims
all
very
small,
this
time
so
happy
to
report
that
I
think
we've
gotten
rid
of
all
of
the
winter
accidents
and
mailbox
issues
and
potholes.
A
AB
Coutu
I
live
at
20
7
lee
street
in
cranston.
We
talk
about
the
flood
issue
here
and
I,
mr
boss,
asked
about
insurance
after
the
second
great
plug.
We
had
there's
like
a
900
perk
test.
You
have
to
do
before
you
even
get
flood
insurance
and
then
they
base
it
on
how
much
in
the
flood
zone
you
are
listening
to
what
that
gentleman
said.
AB
It
seems
like
20
years
ago,
when
I
met
my
wife
and
now,
where
I
live,
the
houses
on
that
lot
should
have
never
been
built
because
they
were
in
a
flood
plain,
but
the
eem
didn't
care.
Neither
did
members
of
the
city
council
so
now
there's
a
house
that
is
supposedly
being
built
because
they
took
the
lock
that's
there.
They
split
it
in
half
again
without
any
recollection
of
anyone
in
the
neighborhood
hey.
This
is
what
we're
going
to
do.
AB
He
just
does
this
on
a
win,
so
I
like
the
city
council
to
when
things
like
this
happen,
to
investigate
what
building
these
builders
are
doing
in
dead-end
streets
and
what
are
they
doing
and
putting
houses
up
for
no
reason
with
no
plan
or
no
nothing
on
a
whim?
And
that's
that's
the
the
problem
I
have
is
that
yeah,
my
husband
underwater
twice
in
in
seven
years?
Okay,
now,
two
more
years
that
seven
airplane
is
coming
along.
Not
too
long
ago,
the
city
came
in
the
stream
that
follows
behind
my
house.
AB
I'll,
give
you
an
impressed
perspective
if
you
take
the
canyon
just
before
the
the
canyon
there's
like
a
actually
it's
a
lake.
I
didn't
realize
it
to
the
right
that
my
house
is
on
that
side
and
I
live
in
that
area
behind
my
house,
there's
a
stream
that
runs
and
that
stream
was
dredged
by
the
city
about
a
month
ago,
dm
came
by
with
a
bunch
of
of
people
and
had
them
flatten
out
that
land
every
time
the
eem
comes
and
causes
a
problem.
AB
AB
He
got
fined
dm,
took
their
money,
then,
two
weeks
later
after
he
paid
his
fine,
they
can
take
that
tree
out,
because
that's
the
way
the
state
law
is,
I
don't
know
what
the
city
on
this
is
on
this,
but
this
is
something
that
affects
me
and
affects
all
my
neighbors,
because
they
get
four
feet
of
water
in
their
house.
Not
the
two
feet
that
much
not
that
two
to
three
inches
that
I
get
in
mine.
AB
So
when
I
see
this
floodplain
thing-
and
I
see
builders
just
doing
things
on
dead
end
streams,
because
nobody
cares
about
us
on
dead-end
streets,
I
mean
the
trees
still
haven't
been
picked
up
from
the
from
the
the
big
micro
burst
storm
we
had,
but
yet
everyone
other
neighborhood
street
has
been
so
that
is
my
concern
as
a
taxpayer.
Is
that
what
is
the
city
going
to
do
about
these
floodplain
issues
and
builders,
building
houses
and
just
doing
things
without
without
any
say?
C
S
Matt
chandra
139
smith
street
in
edgewood
I
had
a
a
concern.
That's
been
raised
to
me
by
a
couple
of
people
that
live
in
the
city
that
there's
been
a
after
the
micro
burst.
A
lot
of
us
in
cranston
were
hit
hard.
What
I
don't
understand
is
there
was
a
lot
of
money.
It
seemed
spent
on
contractors
coming
in
to
clean
it
up,
and
two
of
my
friends
now
have
emailed
me
or
texting
me
that
they
were
concerned
that
they
saw
contractors
sitting
around
for
several
days
working
on
their
street.
S
And
they
were
concerned
that
they
never
actually
saw
dpw
come
out
and
do
it
it
was
all
subcontracted
out.
So
I
guess
the
question
I
have
is:
has
anybody
in
the
administration
at
any
point
reached
out
to
any
other
cities
and
towns,
especially
on
this
type
of
storm?
This
type
of
storm
was
very
localized.
Warwick
was
hit
hard
granston
was
hit
hard,
other
places.
Weren't.
Did
we
reach
out
to
any
other
cities
and
towns
to
say
hey?
Could
you
lend
us
a
hand
for
a
week
or
two
in
order
to
that?
C
AC
The
city,
as
far
as
I
know,
had
one
crew
from
northeastern
tree
that
was
hired
as
a
contractor
to
supplement
the
work
of
our
highway
crews
that
were
out
on
the
roads
and
we
did
get
a
crew
from
the
town
of
johnston.
The
mayor
of
johnston
graciously
offered
to
allow
one
of
his
crews,
including
a
truck
and
a
chipper,
to
come
and
help
us
out
in
the
in
the
week
following
the
storm,
because
we
had
so
much
to
do
in
such
a
short
time.
AC
Our
crews
continue
to
go,
make
the
rounds
around
the
city,
and
certainly,
if
mr
coutu
wants
to.
Let
us
know
his
address,
we'll
make
sure
we
get
somebody
by
there
as
quickly
as
we
can.
S
S
A
A
AC
I
have
confirmed
with
chief
mckenna
that
in
fact,
deputy
chief
fournier
has
served
honorably
since
1985
and
would
recommend
that
the
council
approve
his
city
pension,
effective
september
4th
at
the
end
of
his
shift.
A
Is
there
a
motion
most
remaining
second
discussion?
Yes,
yes,
councilman
director.
Y
A
AC
Excuse
me
lieutenant
david
records
of
the
cranston
fire
department
in
compliance
with
the
department,
pension
ordinance
and
anticipating
his
56th
birthday
request
to
be
continuing
in
service.
For
one
year,
the
administration
received
documentation
indicating
that
he
is
eligible,
and
I
would
recommend
approval
of
this
request.
Emotional.
A
Y
C
A
A
A
A
Q
Yes
can
do
we
have
any
new
news
on
the
176
patuxent
avenue.
This
is
a
scaffolding.
That's
been
up
for
years.
X
E
Q
Very
good,
thank
you.
Okay.
The
next
connect,
my
next
item-
the
providence
water
hydrant.
This
has
been
resolved
today
by
ken
mason
I'd
like
to
thank
through
director
barone
like
to
thank
ken
mason
for
his
work
on
this,
but
just
so
everyone
else
knows
that
this
could
happen
to
you.
Q
Q
At
the
end
of
beau
street,
which
is
a
dead-end
street
that
leads
to
fay
field
and
there's
no
question,
apparently
no
one's
questioned
whether
the
hydrant
is
needed,
but
they
didn't
inform
the
property
owner,
and
so
they
just
stuck
the
hydrant
in
a
rather
prominent
place
in
her
lawn,
and
then
they
installed
it
pretty
poorly
so
that
it
was
stuck
up
in
the
air
rather
than
flush
to
the
ground.
Q
Q
What
director
mason
worked
out
was
to
move
the
hydrant
to
where
the
property
owner
wanted
it
and
to
make
it
flush
with
the
ground,
but
that
was
very
painful.
I
think
for
everyone
involved
to
get
that
done
and
it
seems
like
providence
water
if
they're
going
to
do
something
on
your
property,
even
though
it's
in
a
city
easement
that
they
should
tell
you
here's
what
we
plan
to
do
and
then
you'd
have
an
opportunity
to
make
suggestions.
Q
I
just
want
let
everybody
know
about
that.
All
right
and
the
last.
The
last
thing
was:
I
asked
for
a
report
on
all
private
investigators
hired
by
the
police
department
since
2009
and
director
strom
supplied.
I
think
you
sent
a
an
email
to
me
saying,
or
maybe
it
was
to
everyone
saying
there's
only
one.
Q
AF
The
councilman,
when
I
did
my
research,
I
and
I
believe
I
think
you
should
have
got
a
copy
of
the
invoice
today.
Yes,.
C
AF
AF
In
addition,
I
don't
know
if
I
sent
you
this
email,
but
I
got
an
email
from
colonel
windquist
and
he
also
I'll
read
this
to
you.
He
he
confirmed
that
1550
that
I
found,
but
in
addition
he
mentioned
the
company
identified
as
interstate
investigations
of
cumberland
was
hired
by
beacon
mutual
insurance
company
to
conduct
conduct
surveillance
on
major
catalano.
