Description
September 26, 2016, City Council Meeting
A

A

First
of
all,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
to
all
the
council
members
who
took
away
a
part
of
their
weekend
and
called
me
back
this
weekend
to
kind
of
straighten
out
the
issue.
So
I
appreciate
very
much
all
of
your
time
and
effort
on
a
weekend,
I'm
here,
because
it
was
last
week
it
was
brought
to
my
attention
that
there
is
an
ordinance
six.
I
believe
it
is
16.
F
G
E
First
of
all,
the
language
includes
a
commercial
educational
institution,
and
then
it
goes
on
to
list
preschool
primary
secondary
charter
school
and,
by
definition,
typically
in
rhode,
island
and
nationwide.
When
we
talk
about
charter
schools,
we're
not
talking
about
a
commercial
agency,
we're
talking
about
a
publicly
funded
school,
so
the
attachment
of
commercial
educational
facility,
along
with
charter
school,
is
probably
is
deeply
problematic.
E
The
senate
bill
is
about
local
control
over
charter
schools
and
in
this
particular
bill
it
says
that
the
one
of
the
ways
locals
have
to
approve
charters
is
for,
and
I
quote,
from
the
bill,
local
written
support
for
a
proposed
charter
school
and
then
it
defines
what
written
support
is
written.
Support
means
a
resolution
or
ordinance
granted
by
a
city
or
a
city
council,
a
town
or
city
council,
so
effectively
this
ordinance
written.
E
E
I
trust
them
that
much
so
I
have
no
problem
with
the
business
itself.
I
have
a
problem
with
the
language
of
the
city
is
using
for
this,
so
I
would
love
to
see
that
business
get
granted
all
whatever
it
needs
in
order
to
open
tonight,
but
I
just
have
a
problem
with
this
language.
This
language
needs
to
be
amended
to
get
rid
of
the
word
charter
school
and
I'm
not
quite
not
not
quite
sure
why
we
have
the
language
primary
and
secondary
schools
in
there
as
well.
E
H
Dan
wald
27
sagamore
road,
I'm
also
a
member
of
the
cranston
school
committee
representing
ward
6,
and
I
want
to
thank
ms
taragusa
for
making
me
aware
of
this.
Just
in
the
short
version,
I'd
say,
I'd
have
to
concur
with
mrs
terragus's
assessment
a
number
of
years
ago,
the
city
this
community
came
together
to
prevent
achievement
first
from
opening
what
I
would
call
a
corporate-backed
charter
school
in
our
city.
H
H
H
I
believe
that
this
ordinance
needs
to
be
sent
back
to
the
committee
and
subsequently,
I
also
would
like
to
see
the
word
charter
school
removed
so
that
there
is
no
chance
that
any
organization
in
the
future
can
somehow
circumnavigate
the
proper
protocols
necessary
for
a
charter
school.
And
I
thank
you
for
your
time.
I
Mr
council
president,
just
a
point
of
information:
please
yes
councilman!
I
just
want
to
let
the
audience
know
that
it
was
never
and
is
not
the
intent
of
this
council
and
the
administration
to
open
up
a
charter
school.
It
is
probably
an
error
in
that
the
zoning
codes
have
not
been
updated
and
haven't
brought
into
the
21st
century.
If
you
will
that
when
a
person
applies
for
something
like
this,
the
mention
is
the
way
it's
mentioned
in
the
audience
ordinance,
because
that's
what
the
zoning
law
states
so
just
want
to
clear
that
up.
I
J
Hi
good
evening,
excuse
me:
I'm
not
a
public
speaker,
I'm
here
with
melissa,
vaga
and
melanie
rainville.
We
live
in
the
oak
hill
terrace
section
of
cranston,
which
is
over
between
reservoir
avenue
behind
mulligans.
It
is,
if
you
get
a
chance
to
campaign
there
walk
through
it.
It
is
one
of
the
most
amazing
neighborhoods
left
in
the
state.
J
We
are
a
true
community.
We
have
block
parties,
we
have
get-togethers
in
people's
houses,
we
have
pub
crawls
and
when
I
was
pregnant
with
my
second
daughter,
I
was
walking
the
neighborhood
with
my
husband
and
I
counted
in
the
forest
streets.
I
counted
28
children
under
the
age
of
five
and
we
all
know
each
other.
J
It's
the
kind
of
neighborhood
where
the
kids
come
over
and
play
in
each
other's
backyards
for
the
moment,
just
open
the
gates
and
play
so
we
got
together
and
kind
of
put
together
an
idea
of
putting
a
playground
in
at
the
empty
lot.
It's
owned
by
the
city
at
the
entrance
to
our
plat
on
the
reservoir
outside
the
new
london
outside.
J
I
know
that
it
was
on
the
docket
a
while
back
for
a
dog
park,
and
that
was
put
down
so
it's
been
vacant,
it
is,
it
is
maintained,
it's
mowed,
and
so
we
were
thinking
just
something
really
small,
nothing
big
like
the
brayton
park
playground
just
due
to
the
fact
that
we
are
kind
of
trapped
by
main
roads.
So
we
can't
walk
to
a
different
playground.
J
K
This
particular
preschool,
I
know,
is
going
to
be
a
fabulous
preschool
because
I
know
the
woman
who
is
going
to
be
running
it
and
she's
a
phenomenal
teacher
and
she
runs
a
phenomenal
program
in
cranston
public
schools.
So
that's
not
the
issue
again.
The
issue
is
simply
the
removal
of
the
word
charter.
It's
very
simple.
I'd
appreciate
your
time
for
this
kind
of
very
simple
request.
Thank
you.
A
L
Good
evening,
janine
nada
massey
25
oakview
drive
cranston.
As
you
know,
I
am
also
the
superintendent
of
cranston
public
schools,
and
I
am
here
as
well.
I
will
be
very
brief,
because
the
speakers
ahead
of
me
pretty
much
captured
the
feelings
of
the
princeton
public
schools
in
relation
to
the
950
phoenix
avenue.
Zoning.
L
L
We
do
a
phenomenal
job
in
cranston,
educating
all
of
our
students
and
by
support
with
your
support.
We
have
done
amazing
things
over
the
past
couple
of
years,
so
I
would
just
ask
if
possible
that
the
word
charter
be
removed
from
the
zoning
ordinance
in
order
to
preserve
the
integrity
of
our
cranston
public
schools
and
to
ensure
that
the
development
of
this
new
cranston
business-
and
I
echo
again
the
speakers
ahead
of
me
who
have
said
that
we
have
the
utmost
confidence
in
the
owner
of
the
potential
preschool.
L
I'm
also
asking
that
you
consider
this
to
be
done
as
quickly
as
possible
because
of
the
planning
stages
that
need
to
happen
with
the
business.
I
I
do
not
want
to
stand
in
the
way
of
a
high
quality
business
coming
into
cranston,
but
I
do
ask
that
you
consider
the
language
change
in
the
ordinance
and
I
thank
you
again
for
your
continued
support
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
in
collaboration
and
I'm
here
not
even
asking
for
money
tonight.
So
this
is
a
first
when
I
usually
stand
up
in
front
of
you.
A
First
is
a
resolution
memorializing
the
general
assembly
to
enact
enabling
legislation
mandating
that
homeless,
sex
offenders
register
with
local
communities;
emotional
proof,
all
right,
you're
sponsored
by
councilman,
favecchio,
bots,
farina,
papalospis
and
council
president
lanny
there's
an
emotional
proven,
there's
a
second
any
discussion
councilman
for
santa
maria.
I
thank.
I
M
G
As
you
know,
you
may
know,
there
are
two
elementary
schools
in
the
main
public
library,
probably
within
a
mile
of
that
harrington
wall
facility.
So
there's
you
know
the
and
the
people
that
go
there,
they're
like
in
the
morning
they
can
roam
free
wherever
they
want
to
go.
There's
no
supervision,
it's
just
a
shelter
of
last
resort,
which
is
fine,
but
there's
there's
no
supervision.
Now
they
are
they
currently
they're.
G
G
G
Offender,
the
sex
offenders,
the
registered
sex
offenders
are
already
under
a
24-hour
mandate.
They
basically
the
way
the
law
is
written
law
enforcement
wants
to
know
where
they
are
at
any
time,
they're
supposed
to
notify
if
they're
leaving
providence,
for
example,
if
they're
going
to
move
from
providence
to
cranston
they're
supposed
to
notify
providence
24
hours
before
they
go
and
20
within
24
hours
after
leaving
and
arriving
in
the
new
city,
they're
supposed
to
notify
cranston,
for
example,
so
there's
a
strict
mandate
in
terms
of
their
probation.
G
So
this
came
up
last
year
and
you
may
recall.
Last
november
we
passed
I
put
forward
a
similar
resolution.
We
passed
it
november
23rd
of
15,
and
then
I
followed
it
through
to
the
general
assembly.
Senator
lombardi
was
gracious
in
supporting
it
and
we
got
through
the
senate
judiciary
at
the
time
that
it
was
heard.
When
I
testified
at
the
senate
in
march,
there
were
49
sex
offenders
living
at
harrington,
all
probably
half
the
population.
G
Now
there's
currently
about
33,
26
of
them
level,
two
and
threes,
which
are
the
more
dangerous
offenders.
Okay,
so
that's
the
backdrop.
The
the
legislation
was
a
little
stricter.
It
actually
called
for
a
one
hour,
communication
between
the
homeless,
shelters
and
local
police.
It's
kind
of
strict.
I
really
that
wasn't
drafted
by
me.
That
was
something
that
was
drafted
up
in
the
general
assembly.
G
G
So
what
I
was
concerned
about
is,
first
of
all,
is
it
a
residence?
Is
it
is
that
a
residence
for
them?
Is
there
a
loophole
and
there's
a
there's,
a
tremendous
growing
issue
of
failure
to
register
people
being
listed
as
living
near
howard
avenue.
So
they're,
probably
under
a
bridge
somewhere,
there
are
some
that
are
not
identified
for
five
or
six
days.
So
there's
some
some
real
issues
with
the
the
registry
itself
and
having
accurate
information.
G
We
have
one
full-time
police
officer
that
just
monitors
sex
offenders
on
a
weekly
basis
and
and
they've
spoken
to
the
chief
of
police
and
the
library
officials,
and
they
have
they
even
go
into
the
public
library
at
times
they've
accessed
the
computer.
Sometimes
you
circumventing
the
these
I.t
security
and
getting
it
to
inappropriate
websites.
G
G
What
I
see
as
a
potential
issue
was
part
of
the
probation
and
release.
There
should
be
some
type
of
a
mandatory
authorization
for
level
two
and
three
offenders
permitting
temporary
housing
facilities,
including
should
include
hotels,
motels,
rooming
houses
and
shelters
to
notify
state
or
local
law
enforcement
within
a
24-hour
period,
which
would
mirror
the
the
current
requirement
that
the
offenders
have.
So
it
wouldn't
be
as
strict.
If
the,
if
they're
able
to
identify
quicker,
then
that's
fine.
G
This
would
avoid
any
hipaa
violations
and
any
code
of
ethics
issues
that
the
social
workers
seem
to
indicate
was
a
problem
for
them,
and
you
know,
although
the
the
offenders
already
have
the
obligation
to
notify
and
if
they
fail
to
notify
within
the
24
hours
they're
subject
to
arrest,
so
I
don't
think
you're
helping
them
by
not
giving
giving
notice
to
the
local
police.
Another
thing
that
would
so
the
other.
G
The
second
thing
I'd
like
to
see
is
possibly
a
reintroduction
of
that
senate
bill
2319,
requiring
temporary
housing
facilities,
including
all
the
definitions,
because
we've
seen
lately
that
there
are
rooming
houses
and
hotels
and
motels
that
have
unregistered
sex
offenders.
Living
and
them
are
working
and
another.
Another
issue
would
be
to.
G
That's
you
know
that's
supposed
to
be
on
there
because
the
speaker
there
was
a
speaker
that
was
going
to
be
here
tonight.
She
was
sick,
the
lady
that
runs
the
alliance
for
safe
communities
and
she
had
a
lot
of
statistics
on
the
inaccuracies
in
the
in
the
system.
But
basically
that's
that's
what
the
background
is.
C
G
On
the
registry,
until
they're
off
their
probation,
as
far
as
I
remember,
I've,
I've
looked
at
the
registry
and
I've
looked
at
and
you
they'll
give
you.
It
actually
gives
you
a
photograph,
a
detail
of
their
criminal
activity
and
the
date
that
they
come
off
probation
and
there
are
considerable,
lengthy
probations
that
you'll
see
and
there's
a
there's,
a
tremendous
amount
of
reincarceration.
M
G
M
G
Yeah,
I
I
don't
have
any
problem
with
that,
because
I
I
actually
like
to
have
the
alliance
with
safe
communities
come
in
and
speak
because
they
do
have
a
lot
of
data.
They
monitor
this
on
a
you
know,
daily
weekly
basis.
I
mean
they
they're
really
up
to
date
on
it
and
the
reason
I
brought
it
up
early
is
because
I
did
it
in
november
last
year
and
we
barely
got
it.
You
know
it
barely
got
to
where
it
needed
to
be,
and
we
didn't
have
much
input.
G
M
M
M
N
G
Police,
if
I
may,
council
president
no,
they
don't
that
that's
been
the
problem
for
the
six
years
that
I've
been
on
the
council.
When
I
first
went
to
meetings
with
at
the
police
department,
with
all
the
with
the
department
of
corrections
and
the
homeless
advocates
and
the
shelter
management
they
were.
G
They
were
vehemently
opposed
to
reporting
this
information,
and
so
basically
we
have
to
pay
our
police
one
one
full-time
and
possibly
some
part-time
police,
a
lot
of
money
just
to
monitor
who's
there
to
check
the
registry
and
make
sure
that
they
know.
What's
going
on
now,
the
management
changed
as
a
result
of
that
legislation
actually
house
of
hope
left
the
management
of
there
and
crossroads
now
took
over
and
there
is
better
communication
from
the
what
the
chief
tells
me.
G
A
N
N
If
I'm
looking
in
the
now,
therefore
be
it
resolve
section,
I
don't
see
any
reference
to
probation.
Do
it
well,
so
if
you're
on
the
list,
basically
you're,
you
should
be
notification,
notifying
wherever
whatever
your
police
department,
that
you're
in
or
city,
that
your
town,
that
you're
in
that
you're
here
and
you
have
24
hours
to
do
that.
N
O
G
N
Mean
quite
honestly,
I
think
this
doesn't
go
far
enough.
I
think
you
should
ask
the
general
somebody
to
close
harrington
hall,
but
I
will
support
this
resolution
and
also
I
would
ask
this
council
not
to
submit
it
back
to
committee,
because,
frankly,
all
we're
asking
is
that
these
offenders
do
what
they're
required
to
do
by
law
and
to
make
it
more
stringent.
N
P
Thank
you,
council.
President
yeah.
I
co-sponsored
this
resolution
back
in
2015..
I
think
we
need
resolutions
and
laws
like
this
to
change
how
harrington
hall
is
being
utilized.
The
fact
of
the
matter
is,
I
have
a
lot
of
friends
live
in
that
area
and
every
time
I
tell
them
that
there's
31
sex
offenders
living
in
harrington
hall.
They
want
to
shoot
me
being
a
councilman
and
ask
what
I'm
doing
about
it
to
change
that.
P
I've
worked
with
councilman
favicky
on
this
the
last
year
and
every
time
he
tells
me
he's
going
to
put
something
through
like
this.
I
wholeheartedly
support
it
because
it's
his
ward.
We
need
checks
and
balances
with
the
sex
offenders
that
are
going
there.
We
need
laws
like
this.
We
need
the
general
assembly
to
partner
with
us.
P
It
sounds
like
the
senate
did
a
great
job
and
partnered
with
us
and
through
the
work
of
senator
lombardi,
I
would
recommend
that
we
find
someone
in
the
house
that's
willing
to
partner
with
us
to
shepherd
this
legislation
through
once
we
get
it
through,
and
I
agree
with
councilman
vaz.
I
think
we
should
just
pass
this
tonight
and
stop
building
a
plan
of
attack
and
we're
only
asking
them
to
change
the
laws,
make
them
more
stringent.
A
C
C
Putting
into
committee
really
wouldn't
change
the
wording
much
it
would
be
more
like
may
put
it
into
the
ordinance
committee,
and
we
don't
want
to
do
that.
We
want
to
have
the
general
assembly
do
it,
so
I
I
don't
think
put
it
into
committee-
is
going
to
accomplish
much
but
just
delay
it
a
month.
So
I
would
be
against
put
into
committee.
It's
only
a
resolution.
It's
a
wish
list
from
this
council
and
I
would
reach
passage
tonight.
M
A
G
The
my
my
concern
is
that
the
the
statute
talks
about
residents
changing
a
residence.
You
could
argue
that
it's
not
your
residence
or
where
you
intend
to
to
live.
It's
a
temporary
living
accommodation.
Now
the
police
have
interpreted
it
as
requiring
notification
within
the
24
hours
because
whether
you
go
from
you
know
pro
shelter
in
providence
to
a
shelter
in
cranston
you're,
still
moving
from
one
city
to
another
and
they're,
not
they're,
taking
the
position
that
that's
a
change
of
residence,
but
you
know:
we've
had
that
issue
come
up
about
residency.
G
What's
a
resident,
you
know,
god
knows:
we've
had
the
redistricting
issue
we've.
We
know.
We
know
that
there's
an
issue
there
so
with
definitions,
so
this
might
help
to
alleviate
that
problem,
because
now
the
the
the
shelter
also
would
be
permitted
to
to
send
the
information
to
the
to
the
police
department
without
fear
of
violating
any
hipaa
laws
or
anything
else.
G
So
that's
I'm
trying
to
solve
the
whole
problem
with
at
least
as
far
as
notification,
rather
than
us
we're
spending
a
hundred
thousand
a
year
or
so
to
have
our
police.
You
know
find
out
who's
there.
You
know
and
go
check
around
every
day
and
just
drive
around
and
try
to
identify
who's
around
and
keeping
tabs
on.
What's
going
on
so
and
that's
a
tall
order,
even
though
the
department
of
corrections
is
right
next
door,
I
mean
it's
literally
about
150
yards
away.
G
G
You
know
in
order
to
notify
because
they
know
that
they
could
be
arrested
if
they
don't
notify
the
police
department.
So
you
actually,
I
mean
my
way
of
thinking,
you're,
actually
helping
them
to
comply
with
the
law
that
they're
already
under
that,
otherwise
they
could
end
up
in
jail
for
five
years
more,
instead
of
at
the
homeless,
shelter.
N
Well,
you
have
to
click
in
four
deep
in
order
to
find
a
picture
of
a
person
you
have
to
do
that
for
every
single
link
versus
if
you
had
a
picture
on
the
website
that
you
see
first
and
then
click
into
it.
That
way,
it's
an
easily
searchable
website
for
sex
offenders.
So
I
don't
know
if
that's
something
that
could
be
an
amendment
in
the
resolution
or
something
that
maybe
that
can
be
testified
to
if
this
gets
heard.
A
A
P
You,
council,
president,
I'm
sure
councilman
vecchio
will
go
to
detail
about
his
his
resolution,
but
I
can
say
this
weekend:
I
had
the
privilege
of
walking
oak
hill
terrace
with
him
meeting
a
lot
of
families
discussing
the
idea
of
putting
a
playground
in
this
section,
we're
talking
about
challenges
for
the
neighborhood,
it's
a
great
neighborhood.
I
think
this
is
a
great
plan.
I'd
love
to
see
the
visibility
study,
how
we
pay
for
it.
What
the
curbs
look
like,
how
many
apparatus
we
can
get
in
there
how
to
build
it.
P
C
All
right,
no
problem,
councilman,
santa
maria
and
thank
you,
council.
Vice
president.
I
would
like
to
be
added
as
a
co-sponsor
and
I
did
talk
to
minor
leader
this
weekend.
Didn't
know
he
was
working
on
this
and
I
was
working
on
this
with
our
grant
writer
ken's
already
looking
for
some
grant
proposals
for
the
playground.
Speaker
mattiello
also
called
me
and
said
that
he's
looking
at
some
d.o.t
grants
to
make
it
a
green
based
playground.
So.
C
The
playgrounds
are
rather
expensive,
I
I
know
we
do
it
every
budget
season
and
if
we
can
get
the
grants,
I
think
we
can
make
this
a
really
great
place,
just
not
for
the
neighborhood,
but
for
everybody.
So
I
I
want
to
be
added
as
a
sponsor
to
this
and
we
are
looking
for
grant
proposals
from
both
ends
now.
So
I
think
it's
a
great
piece
of
legislation
I
used
to
play
up
there
when
I
was
young
and
it's
a
great
little
place
to
play
so.
I
G
Constantly,
thank
you,
council
president.
I'm
glad
that
everyone
is
willing
to
to
sponsor
co-sponsor
this
and
get
involved
in
this
council
with
santa
maria.
We
may
have
even
played
on
that
playground
as
kids
together.
We
we've
figured
out
over
the
weekend,
but
this
was
actually
my
stomping
grounds
as
a
young
person,
so
I
played
all
sports
on
that
field
as
a
young
person,
and
when
I
met
julie
who
came
in
it
was
tremendous
I
mean
she
came
to
me
with
the
with
the
idea-
and
I
said
yeah.
G
You
know
that
was
always
such
a
vibrant
playground
and
it
and
it
just
it,
looks
terrible.
Now
it's
a
mess,
and
there
there
are
a
couple
of
couple
of
things
that
make
it
really
good
for
as
a
as
a
playground,
as
opposed
to
the
dog
park
that
we
had
originally
looked
at
number
one
there
there
is
an
easement,
I
believe,
a
walking
path
for
access
for
the
neighbors
that
so
they
wouldn't
have
to
use
to
just
automobile
traffic,
because
there
is
the
parking
is
an
issue.
G
It's
going
to
take
some
work
on
the
traffic
side,
because
the
ingress
and
egress
is
is,
is
pretty
there's
only
one
lane
right
now,
but
I
noticed
it's
all
overgrown
and
it
could
be
cut
back.
So
there's
there's
a
tremendous.
You
know
opportunity
there.
It's
it's
not
big
enough
to
do
something
like
a
brayton
field,
it's
small,
so
a
small,
a
children's
area
would
be
great
the
grant
if
we
could
get
some
green
grant
money
that
councilman
san
maria
mentioned.
That
would
be
wonderful.
G
There
are
some.
There
are
some
wild
turkeys,
otherwise
known
as
guinea
hens
that
live
right
in
the
woods
there
behind
there.
So
the
dog
park,
I
think,
might
have
been
problematic
because
I've
talked
to
all
the
neighbors
and
you
know
they
see
them
all
the
time
they're
they're
there
and
then
only
only
in
rhode,
island.
I
you
know
I
went
to
visit
ms
gary
and
her
husband
and
her
husband.
G
Her
husband
bought
the
house
from
his
aunt
who
who
was
someone
who
was
a
friend
of
mine,
growing
up,
and
it
actually
introduced
me
to
my
wife.
So
I
ended
up
going
to
ms
gary's
house,
and
it
was
you
know
the
neighbors.
The
neighbors
are
great
in
that
that
area
a
lot
of
young
families,
it's
really
revitalized,
and
I
think
this
would
be
a
great
project.
So
I
welcome
the
assistance.
N
I
I
I
Okay
well,
based
on
that,
I
mean
I'll,
let
council
say
maria
speak.
Mr
council
president,
I
believe
until
the
public
works
director
can,
let
us
know
what's
going
on
with
this,
and
that
they've
met
all
the
state
requirements
in
the
city
requirements
before
we
vote
and
approve
this
unless
the
city
clerk
knows
that
no
other
action
is
going
to
be
taken,
which
I
don't
know.
C
Okay,
come
from
santa
maria
council
president.
Thank
you.
I
know
the
public
respect
had
some
reservations
with
this
tie-in
and
we
asked
him
as
a
body
to
for
report,
and
I
don't
see
a
report
in
here.
So
until
I
get
a
report,
I
would
ask
that
we
continue
this
until
we
get
a
report
from
the
public
works
director.
I
know
he
had
some
issues
with
it
and
I
haven't
seen
anything
which.
P
And
council
president-
I
I
do
remember
us
talking
about
this
three
months
ago
and
saying
that
we
would
approve
it
for
the
conditions
of
state
requirements
and
then
coming
back
for
the
bottom
meeting
state
requirements
and
without
having
that
report,
I
can't
move
forward
and
prove
it.
So
I
mean
I
don't
know
if
we
should
continue
at
our
table
at
this
time.
O
I
A
A
I
No,
I'm
not
going
to
make
an
amendment,
I'm
just
going
to
say
that
I
agree
with
you.
Maybe
d.o.t
is
working
slow,
but
if
we
recommit
it,
mr
council
president-
and
maybe
the
court
can
send
the
applicant
a
letter
if
they
are
still
interested
in
moving
forward.
Then
if
we
get
back
from
them
at
the
next
mean
that
they're
not
we
could,
just
you
know,
kill
it
in
committee
and
that's
it
be
done
with
it.
I
B
I
C
C
A
S
Sure,
jeffrey
michelson,
I'm
an
attorney
my
office
is
located
at
70
romano
vineyard
way
in
north
kingstown.
I
didn't
mean
to
interrupt
the
process,
but
I
am
here
on
behalf
of
anthony's
whole
fire
pizza.
I
have
brett
d'amato,
the
regional
manager.
If
there
are
any
questions,
this
is
a
family
restaurant
that
started
in
fort
lauderdale
they're.
Now
up
to
59
restaurants
they've
been
making
their
way
up
the
east
coast.
S
They
made
a
left
turn
they're
in
philadelphia
and
pittsburgh
and
they're
going
to
be
opening
in
chicago
soon,
but
they'll
they're,
applying
for
a
class
b
license
to
go
in
by
l.l
beans
at
garden
city,
and
it's
a
very
nice
family,
friendly
restaurant.
I
think
it
will
be
a
nice
addition
to
the
city
councilman.
C
S
S
G
G
B
D
B
D
C
T
I
did
reach
out
to
the
police
department.
The
police
department
indicated
essentially
that
it
is.
This
is
my
term
that
they
don't
want
to
be
in
the
business
of
babysitting
this
business.
The
police
department's
already
been
into
this
establishment
they've
gone
through
all
the
items,
any
items
that
they
deem
are
part
of
their
investigation.
They
have
seized.
The
items
that
are
remaining
are
essential
items
that
they
can't
determine
who
belongs
to
them,
whether
they're,
properly
there
or
they're
reported
stolen.
T
So
what
mr
dimitri
has
proposed
is
essentially,
whatever
the
council
deems
as
appropriate
hours
to
allow
people
who
have
items
there
on
layaway
or
items
that
were
then
sent
there
for
repair
content
will
want
to
reach
out
to
them.
They
will
then
execute
this
receipt,
which
will
be
then
made
available
to
any
law
enforcement
agency
that
they
would
like
to
come
in
and
take
a
look,
but
these
are
items
that
are
belong
to
other
people.
T
I
guess
the
the
next
bridge
that
has
to
be
crossed
is
that
if
there
are
items
that
are
not
claimed
so
in
captain
gibalt's
email
back
to
solicitor
rawson
about
this
issue,
essentially
I'll,
just
I'll
quote
from
her
email.
At
this
point,
the
cranston
police
department
has
done
as
much
as
possible
in
order
to
reunite
the
stolen
property
with
its
owners
and
for
us
to
continue
this
process
would
not
be
practical.
T
So
my
it's
only
a
suggestion.
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions,
but
allowing
these
people
to
get
their
items
back
from
continental
coin
council
can
set
any
hours
that
they
deem
appropriate.
The
captain
did
mention
that
the
only
purpose
of
having
a
police
officer
present
for
this
purpose
would
be
for
keep
the
peace.
The
officer
who
would
be
there
would
have
no
knowledge
about.
Q
This
would
not
permit
a
sale
of
other
items
that
had
not
been
already
on
layaway
or
items
that
the
sale
of
items
or
the
dissemination
of
items,
if
you
will
that
were
not
dropped
off
for
repair,
would
also
not
include,
or
would
not
permit
continental
coin
to
purchase
any
new
items.
Now
that
particular
line
is
not
within
this
receipt.
I
think
that
those
are
the
guidelines
that
the
council
can
can
set,
in
other
words,
that
they
are
not
entitled
to
receive
any
new
items.
Q
Part
of
this
and
I'll
read
from
it.
This
will
confirm
this
is
under
a
section
where
we
would,
where
the
purchaser
and
or
mrs
asante
would
list,
the
item
or
item
is
being
picked
up.
It
indicates
that
this
will
confirm.
I
am
the
rightful
owner
of
the
aforementioned
items
brought
in
for
repair,
or
that
said,
item
or
items
were
purchased
by
me
per
previous
purchase
and
sale.
Q
Agreement
on
layaway
terms
said:
item
items
were
returned
to
me
on
the
date
written
below,
and
I
waive
any
further
claim
against
continental
coin
and
or
its
principles,
agents
or
assigns
signed
under
penalty
of
perjury.
Then
it
would
require
their
address
driver's
license.
Number
other
governmental
issued
identification
number
the
date
under
that
it
would
be
required
to
be
signed
by
a
representative
continental
coin,
certifying
that
the
above
mentioned
item
or
items
were
returned
on
that
date.
P
Farina.
Thank
you.
My
concern
with
this
is
when
we
talked
at
the
safety
services
meeting,
we,
the
police,
were
very
vehement,
that
no
money
changed
hands
and
if
an
item
was
in
the
layaway
and
they
made
six
out
of
12
payments,
that
would
mean
that
they
would
owe
continental
coin
half
the
money
for
the
item
on
layaway
or
if
the
item
had
been
in
repair,
was
repaired
and
not
paid.
For
that,
then
would
mean
that
money
would
be
exchanged
to
pay
for
the
repair,
so
how
much
society?
How
do
we.
T
How
do
we
handle
that?
I
think
the
idea
councilman
through
the
chair
would
be
that
no
money
is
actually
going
to
go
to
continental
coin.
For
that
it's
going
to
be
returned
to
the
individual.
Any
money
that
is
going
to
be
transacted
would
be
the
return
of
items
that
were
given
for
on
layaway
and
as
far
as
the
repair
items.
I
guess
it's,
but
if
I.
P
P
If
the
item's
on
layaway
and
money
is
owed,
I
mean
I
don't
see
a
business,
giving
a
five
thousand
dollar
ring
to
someone
that
only
paid
five
hundred
dollars
for
it.
So
how
are
we
going
to
remedy
that
situation?
And
the
same
is
true
that
they
did
do
work
on
the
repair
of
the
piece
of
jewelry
and
the
person
picking
up
hasn't
paid
for
the
repair,
then
continental
coins
going
to
want
to
be
paid
for
the
work
they
did
in
the
repair
and
give
the
piece
of
jewelry
back
to
the
customer.
T
Right,
I
think
that
what
was
contemplated
mr
dimitri
may
be
able
to
answer
that.
What
that,
essentially,
you
want
the
items
getting
back
to
if
there's
a
dispute
that
has
to
be
worked
out
for
work
performed.
That
has
to
be
done
in
essentially
a
court
proceeding
this
this
procedure,
and
this
thing
in
this.
The
idea
behind
these
receipts
was
essentially
to
get
items
back
to
people
and
to
get
people
back
their
money
if
they're,
if
there
is
a
dispute
over
money
that
sold.
That
is
something
that
has
to
be
handled
for
the
court
system.
P
I
Q
Q
P
P
Question
just
something
to
solicitor
ross
o'neill.
That
was
the
concern
that
captain
gebo
had
when
she
came
before
us
that
no
money
changed
hands
at
any
of
these
kind
of
sessions.
So
if
now,
the
police
have
changed
their
stance.
They're
telling
us
that
money
can
change
hands
to
close
these
things
out.
P
T
I
could
address
that,
mr
president,
that
the
the
gist
of
the
email
from
captain
gee
ball
to
solicit
rawson
was
essentially
that
I
and
I
think
that
the
position
the
police
department
has
clarified
since
last
time
we
hear
that
they
were
concerned
about
no
new
transactions.
They
didn't
want
them
to
have
a
blanket
open
policy
that
the
the
idea
behind
this
was
to
get
items
back
to
people
one
way
or
another
councilman.
A
I
I
Okay
and
how
how
soon
and
what
saturday
would
you
think
that
you
would
be
ready
to
start?
Would
you
need
a
week
to
10
days,
because
if
not,
we
can?
I
I'm
probably
going
to
put
a
motion
in
to
say
that,
from
october
1st
october,
8th
so
forth
to
the
month
of
october
that
for
a
four-hour
period,
you're
open,
you
know
we'll
let
the
police
know
that
you're
going
to
be
open
during
these
hours.
I
Q
I
C
I
Point
of
information,
mr
chairman,
this
was
an
item
that
was
already
on
the
docket
that
we
spoke
about
and
had
a
hearing,
and
then
I
believe,
if
you
read
the
minutes,
the
minutes
would
say
that
we
were
going
to
make
a
final
determination
at
the
council
meeting,
because
there
was
a
question
as
to
how
the
administration
and
mr
dimitri
wanted
to
handle
this.
So
here
we
are,
it
was
advertised
and
we
can
make
a
decision,
I'm
guessing,
although
I'm
not
an
attorney.
So
I
don't
want
to.
Q
I
U
We
have
no
such
license
their
license.
It
was
my
understanding
their
license
was
revoked.
It
was
continued
to
this
meeting
to
approve
the
release
form
that
would
be
used
for
the
return
of
existing
merchandise
they
and
with
the
city
and
council's
approval.
They
could
be
open
for
that
solely
limited
purpose,
not
to
engage
in
the
retail
business
of
second-hand
sales,
but
just
to
return
existing
items
in
their
possession.
U
U
U
I
I
I
understand
that,
and
I
don't
think
the
intent
is
to
let
them
sell
to
the
general
public.
I
think
it's
to
have
them
open,
so
they
can
get
rid
of
items
that
belong
to
customers,
and
that's
that
I
mean
they
said
that
they're
not
going
to
sell
to
the
general
public.
Our
attorney
said
that
we're
not
going
to
let
them
sell
to
general
public
unless
we
just
have
them
open
up
those
four
saudis
and
not
give
them
a
license
that
that's
fine
with
me
too.
If
it
solves
the
problem,
because
they're
not
really.
B
I
M
Q
Q
Some
were
layaways
and
it's
multiple
pages
and
again
you
know
the
the
plan
would
be
to
call
these
people
upon
the
opening
of
the
doors
saying
we're
going
to
be
here
for
the
next
four
four
saturdays
now's,
your
chance
to
come
and
get
it.
And
after
that
richard
you
know,
we
won't
be
available.
Basically.
C
Can
we
can
we
make
a
motion
to
let
them
open
based
on
the
revocation
of
the
license,
and
that
it's
still
active
that
the
next
four
saudis
they
can
open
nine
to
one
or
make
it
by
appointment?
We're
we're
allowed
to.
We
don't
have
to
give
them
a
temporary
license,
because
I
don't
think
we're.
We
have
the
we
can't
give
out
licenses
from
a
swimming
pool.
I
U
I
think
the
issue
of
saying
that
they
can
be
open
on
a
given
day
then
leaves
them
if
their
doors
are
unlocked.
The
general
public
may
attempt
to
come
in.
It
makes
more
sense
if
they're
contacting
existing
customers
with
no
names.
That
they'd
be
informed,
to
call
to
schedule
an
appointment
to
pick
up
the
merchandise
at
a
specific
time
on
one
of
those
four
saturdays.
They
should
not
be
open
to
the
general
public
and
they
can
keep
a
log
of
those
appointments.
C
C
See
I
have
a
problem
with
that
because
we
asked
all
of
us
asked
that
it
be
regulated,
and
you
know
it
seemed
to
be
kind
of
ignoring
that
now,
because
the
police
don't
want
to
quote
unquote
babysit,
but
there's
no
regulation
on
this.
It's
it's
haphazard
at
best,
something
if
I
may
miss
the
president.
T
T
People
just
can't
walk
in
so
if
they
could,
during
those
four
saturdays
that
the
continental
coin
be
allowed
to
return
items
during
those
four
saturdays
again,
not
use
the
terminology
open
and
be
contacted
documented
by
the
receipt
that
mr
dimitri
has
prepared.
I
think
that
may
resolve
our
issue
about
using
the
terminology
open,
but
perhaps
making
the
items
available
to
those
four
consecutive
saturdays.
I
don't
want
to
get.
A
B
O
A
P
B
O
I
I'd
like
to
propose
an
amendment
to
line
25
and
the
amendment
should
read
the
youth
and
this
amendment
will
be
on
that
property
and
then
that
business
for
as
ever
as
long
as
that
business
and
hopefully
it'll
stay
in
existence
for
a
couple
hundred
years.
So
my
amendment
is
met
so
that
there's
no
mistake
in
language
and
nothing
else
can
open
up
there.
I
M
I
Well,
he
here's
the
problem,
councilman
arketo.
As
you
know,
we
discussed
at
the
meeting
our
zoning
law
when
you
do.
Zoning
doesn't
specifically
zone
it
for
one
item
in
particular,
so
as
the
ordinance
was
originally
written
it,
the
use
could
be
for
all
those
things
that
we've
mentioned.
By
doing
it.
This
way
we're
kind
of
putting
a
deed
restriction
on
the
property
in
the
building
so
never
show
that
change
to
anything
else,
except
for
a
free
school
and.
O
P
Farina,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Council,
president
yeah.
This
is
the
exact
reason
we
challenged
it
in
committee
because
the
code
says
charter
school.
You
can't
just
take
a
word
out
of
the
code
because
it's
in
the
code.
I
love
this
idea.
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
restrict
it.
I
still
think,
as
I
said
in
the
subcommittee,
we
have
to
look
at
changing
the
language
in
the
code.
So
every
time
somebody
wants
to
open
a
daycare.
We
don't
have
someone
say:
oh,
my
god,
it's
his
charter
school.
P
Let's
go,
you
know
all
come
out
and
force,
because
the
intent
of
this
council
is
in
the
administration
is
not
to
start
a
charter
school
right.
So
I
still
think
we
need
to
go
back
and
look
at
that
language
and
segregate
charter
school.
The
way
from
all
the
blanketed
instances
where
it's
in
there
to
to
really
separate
the
two.
So
I
commend
this
and
I'll
be
supporting
it
as
a
supportive
committee.
Just
one
question.
A
G
Thank
you,
president.
Through
the
chair,
mr
quinlan,
just
I.
I
think
this
is
similar
to
what
we
did
with
one
of
my.
I
had
something
on
oklahoma
avenue
where
we
had
a
zone,
zoning
issue
and
we
reached,
even
though
in
the
ordinance
you
were
allowed
to
have
drive-throughs,
we
restricted
the
usage
and
made
it
part
of
the
deed
so
that
it
was,
you
know,
even
though
the
ordinance
said.
One
thing
we
restricted
the
usage
under
that
ordinance
is
that.
Am
I
correct
that.
G
B
D
B
A
B
B
A
J
D
B
M
M
This
is
basically
to
pay
off
the
business
which
loaned
the
money
to
make
the
sewer
treatment,
leasing
deal
under
the
traffic
canty
administration
and
what
it
does
is
it
lowers.
It
allows
us
to
borrow
money
at
a
lower
interest
rate
from
the
infrastructure
bank.
Then
what
we're
currently
paying
an
interest
to
try
time
director
strom
could
provide
the
details
if
people
are
interested.
I
W
I
I
G
W
W
It's
going
to
be
just
short
of
three
million
dollars,
beginning
in
2017
of
two
hundred:
seventy
nine
thousand
two,
ninety
nine
and
eighteen,
four,
eighty
five
and
nineteen,
four
four,
eighty
two
and
twenty
twenty
four
eighty,
two
and
twenty
twenty
one,
four
eighty
one
and
2022
and
concluding
in
2023
for
483
000..
So
every
year,
there's
significant
savings.
C
C
M
R
Mr
chairman,
I'm
going
to
I'm
going
to
address
councilman
stykos's
question
because
I
did
have
a
conversation
with
our
tax,
assessor
south
kosher
today
and
apparently
there's.
Let
me
start
with
the
simple
answer:
if,
if
we
work
off
the
tax
due
on
the
property
currently
over
the
10-year
period
of
the
incentive,
the
incentive
amount
would
be.
R
769
500,
however,
that's
based
on
the
current
assessment
of
the
property,
given
the
fact
that
the
assessment
was
reached
when
the
property
was
being
used
as
a
manufacturing
facility,
it
was
worth
more
than
than
it
would
be
if
it
were
empty.
It
was
worth
more
than
likely
than
it
will
be
next
year
when
it
is
reassessed
based
on
the
new
use,
because
the
assessment
of
a
commercial
property
depends
in
part
upon
the
use
and
upon
the
revenue
that's
generated.
R
P
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
support
this
wholeheartedly.
I
think
this
is
why
we
looked
at
some
of
these
tax
incentives.
A
few
years
ago,
we
left
the
10-year
4
million
dollar
5
million
dollar
tax
incentive.
Facing
the
same,
we
want
to
drive
businesses
to
cranston.
I
think
this
is
a
good
partnership
of
a
building
that
potentially
might
not
have
been
used
as
manufacturing,
again
realistically
no
one's
doing
manufacturing
in
the
northeast.
P
The
fact
that
honeywell
was
manufacturing
this
would
have
been
an
empty
property
or
potentially
some
other
use.
I
think
this
is
a
good
partnership
for
cranston
and
I
look
at
it
like
we're.
Investing
even
at
the
worst
case,
number
770
000
of
taxpayer
dollars
over
10
years
for
a
company
that
let's
say
they
never
hit
their
lofty
goals
of
200
jobs
and
they
flatline
on
an
average
of
100
jobs
a
year.
These
jobs
will
average
about
50
000
over
the
over
the
10
years.
P
So
that's
50
000
times
100
jobs,
that's
5
million
dollars
times
10
years,
that's
50
million
dollars,
they've
invested
in
the
city
of
cranston
and
payroll
payroll
taxes.
People
coming
here,
I
think
it's
worth
the
city
at
a
worst
case
scenario-
investing
770
thousand
dollars
to
bring
this
company
to
cranston.
I
know
they
could
have
gone
a
lot
of
different
places.
I
know
they
were
looking
at
areas
in
one
socket,
warwick
south
county,
and
they
chose
cranston
because
of
this
tax
program.
P
O
A
X
O
I
W
B
W
W
A
G
G
So
the
impact
of
that
you
know
it's
not
really
a
loss,
but
you
know
you
could
have
collected
17
000
a
year
for
10
years,
but
but
now
the
property
is
going
going
to
be
worth
a
heck
of
a
lot
more.
So
the
future
assessments,
as
councilman
asido,
I
think
was
alluding
to
will-
will
certainly
surpass
the
monies
that
were
not
relinquishing.
We
were
just
for
not
taking
in
the
next.
G
And
then-
and
you
know,
of
course,
the
200
employees
100
to
200
employees
will
add
more
into
the
local
economy
and
we
get
some
monies
back
in
in
the
even
the
meals
tax,
from
that's
correct,
going
to
our
restaurants
and
and
going
to
the
gasoline
stations
and
utilizing
all
our
other
services.
So
I
think
it's
good.
You
know,
I
think
it's
a
good
thing.
I
think
mr
deboney
and
missile
presti
do
a
great
job
on
these
things
and
I
think
we
need
to.
W
F
M
M
Otherwise
that
will
benefit
the
city
and
in
this
instance,
dean
warehouse
has
purchased
the
property,
and
I
don't
know
anything
about
their
business,
but
my
guess
is
they
bought
that
property,
because
it's
in
a
good
location
on
295
and
they're
running
a
warehouse
business
and
the
building
is
in
good
good
shape.
They
like
the
building,
it's
the
right
size
and
they
can.
They
can
make
that
work.
M
It's
a
it's
not
accurate
to
say,
as
councilman
farina
said,
that
they're
coming
to
cranston
because
of
the
tax
incentive
program.
What
mr
mancini
said
was
that
that
I
think,
was
a
a
factor
in
the
decision,
but
at
no
point
was
it
a
statement
made
that
they're
buying
this
property
because
of
the
tax
incentive.
M
I
think
if
we
voted
no
tonight
they'd
still
open
up
the
warehouse,
they'd
still
run
their
operation
and
we'd
have
the
same
amount
of
tax
revenue
from
them
as
we
do
from
other
warehouse
operations.
So
I
won't
be
supporting
this.
I
don't
think
we
should
give
away
public
money
to
private
companies
to
as
a
as
a
gift
when
they're
going
to
do
these
things
anyway,
and
these
folks
have
already
bought
the
building.
So
thank
you.
O
O
C
We
made,
may
you
know,
made
it
to
2.5
million
dollar
purchase
price
or
we
made
it
have
some
teeth
and
we
made
sure
that
there
were
good
jobs,
full-time
jobs,
not
private
contractors
so,
and
the
fact
that
they're
bringing
in
100
jobs
and
are
going
to
hire
more.
I
just
think
it's
a
no-brainer,
I
don't
think
they're.
P
Councilman
farina
thank
council
president
to
correct
the
economic
development
director
if
the
business
abandons
or
closes
their
property
at
any
time,
the
city
can
put
a
lien
on
the
property
for
said
taxes
that
were
given
in
abatement
on
the
building.
So
if
the
company
decided
tomorrow
after
we
gave
this
tax
break
to
leave,
we
could
then
put
a
lien
on
the
property
for
every
dollar
we
gave
them
in
tax
incentive.
P
This
is
a
no-brainer
to
sit
here
and
say
that
the
company
made
a
decision
to
come
here
solely
because
of
a
tax
incentive
is
not
a
true
statement,
but
if
they
had
a
pile
of
apples
in
one
hand
and
a
pile
of
apples
in
the
other
hand,
and
the
left
hand
was
cranston,
the
right
hand
was
everywhere
else.
They
saw
our
tax
incentive
and
said
you
know
what
this
is
a
better
deal
in
cranston
we're
going
to
cranston
it's
a
factor.
It's
a
big
factor.
And
again
I
commend
you
for
coming
here.
X
Yeah,
thank
you,
mr
thank
you
councilman
through
the
president.
I
I
think
it's
very
important
to
realize
and
know
first
off
understand
the
ordinance
that
you
that
you
have
in
the
ordinance
that
you've
labored
to
pass,
because
it
is
a
good
ordinance.
It
is
a
tax
incentive
program
that
specifically
reads
on
its
face
that
an
applicant
is
entitled
to
it
if
they
spend
in
excess
of
two
million
dollars
or
greater
in
construction
or
if
they
purchase
an
existing
facility
of
two
of
2.5
million
dollars.
We
have
a
purchase
price
of
4
million
dollars.
X
We
specifically
chose
this
location,
not
only
because
of
its
site.
Its
site
is
is
excellent,
but
when,
in
relation
to
cost
of
this
facility,
purchase
price
to
other
facilities
in
woonsocket
and
in
warwick,
we
knew
that
tax
incentive
available
here
would
be
a
no-brainer
not
to
take
advantage
of
this
tax
incentive.
This
process,
which
is
streamlined
as
opposed
to
other
cities
like
providence,
which
is
not
as
streamlined
as
this
we'd,
be
foolish
not
to
take
advantage
of
it.
X
So
we
chose
this
location
shows
this
building
with
this
tax
incentive
in
mind,
and
we
did
that
particularly
to
go
forward
in
this
city
as
opposed
to
any
other
city,
in
conjunction
with
the
several
other
locations
we
already
have,
which
is
in
warwick
and
which
is
in
cumberland
and
the
other
thing.
That
is
an
important
factor
that
I
think
that
your
gentleman
should
should
put
a
feather
in
your
hat
about
is
that
this
is
not
a
business
that
you're
taking
away
from
another
city.
This
is
a
a
an
existing
loca.
X
This
is
in
a
location
in
which
you're
adding
so
cranston
now
becomes
part
of
a
greater
spectrum
of
locations
that
exist
under
the
umbrella
of
this
company,
which
is
only
going
to
come
to
help
the
city,
because
it's
going
to
add
other
businesses
to
it.
So
I
I
personally,
I
don't
think
you
have
a
choice.
I
think
your
ordinance
speaks
for
you.
It
provides
the
outline
for
which
someone
is
entitled
to
receive
it.
We
worked
with
the
city
in
presenting
our
proposal
to
ensure
that
our
proposal
met
these
guidelines
and
we
met
the
guidelines.
X
So
I
don't
think
there's
much
debate
here,
especially
when
you
have
someone
who's
willing
to
to
come
into
the
city
with
200
jobs.
That
doesn't
happen
that
often
in
return
all
they're
asking
for
is
what
you've
put
on
your
web
page
as
a
tax
incentive,
and
it
says:
let's
see
how
cranston
can
save
you
money.
Well,
that's
why
we're
here
we
want
to
see
how
cranston
can
save
your
money
can
save
us
money.
That's
writing
your
web
page.
X
It's
running
your
websites
where
you're
advertising
is
what
we're
relying
on
and
I
think
that's
a
good
thing,
not
a
bad
thing,
and
I
don't
think
it's
anything
that
anyone
should
be
beating
each
other
up
about.
I
think
that's
positive.
Finally,
I
note
that
if
this
owner
goes
into
default,
that
building
would
probably
be
sold
at
foreclosure
or
you
know
bad
things
would
happen,
but
you
wouldn't
lose
out,
because
your
taxes
are
always
priority,
as
as
councilman
foreigner
has
noted,
which
is
a
positive
intake.
V
A
Any
other
discussion
I
also
be
supporting
this
and,
as
I
said
at
the
original
meeting
before
it's
a
no-brainer
short
term,
we
may
be
losing
a
little
bit
of
money
but
long
term.
The
city
will
be
better
off
200
potential
jobs,
a
company-
that's
willing
to
invest.
Four
million
dollars-
is
not
going
to
go
belly
up
tomorrow
morning.
So
I'm
not
worried
about
that.
A
Their
attorney,
mr
mancini,
probably
said
everything
correctly
when
he
described
exactly
what
would
were
transpiring.
We
spent
an
awful
lot
of
time
working
on
this
10-year
plan
to
get
business
in
the
cranston.
I
remember:
councilman
santaria
spent
an
awful
lot
of
time
on
that,
mr
deboney,
and
it's
paid
it's
paid
off
in
in
aces.
It
came
to
fruition
and
cranston's
gonna
be
a
better
place
for
this
type
of
incentive.
B
D
B
G
G
A
H
Getting
text
messages
from
my
kids
now
do
I
have
to
restate
my
name:
no
leave
it
all
set
all
right
dan
wall,
27,
sagamore
road,
also
on
the
cranston
school
committee,
and
the
committee
I'm
on-
is
the
wellness
subcommittee.
So
I
guess
this
would
fall
kind
of
under
this
in
recent
weeks,
maybe
even
going
back
a
month
during
the
summer.
B
H
In
addition,
with
the
bringing
on
of
all
day
kindergarten
to
grants,
then
in
moving
the
sixth
grade
to
western
hill,
we
have
an
increased
number
of
even
younger
students
crossing
that
rather
busy
street
all
right.
So
I
feel
and
that
it
would
be
important-
and
I
know
a
lot
of
my
constituents,
especially
in
the
dean
of
states
area
field,
would
be
important
for
us
to
have
a
crossing
guard,
I'm
not
exactly
sure
where,
but
somewhere
between
the
dean
street
cranston
street
area
of
oaklawn
avenue.
So
what
am
I
asking
you
for?
H
H
For
it,
because
a
lot
of
us
when
we
go
out,
we
speak
of
princeton
futures
cranston's
future.
The
truth
is
this
is
something
to
do
something
really
really
good
for
cranston's
future.
I
know
I'm
not
sure
whether,
where
what
department
it
goes
to
the
police
department
or
what,
but
I
would
ask
the
councilman
to
advocate
on
behalf
of
the
students
who
are
crossing
them.
That's
my
only
answer
this
evening.
I
P
P
A
A
W
W
A
O
And
thank
you
just
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
it's
my
understanding
that
the
crossing
guards
are
under
the
jurisdiction
of
the
police
chief,
which
is
when
they
are
a
special
entity,
contracted
a
private
company
but
they're
coordinated
by
the
police
department
through
the
administration.
So
the
the
city
council
has
very
little
control
of
those
call.
If
any
it
would
go
police
department,
administration
in
that
contract.
D
O
C
I
A
I
I
am
I
am,
but
I
am
but
I
mean
if
it's
an
issue
right
and
and
it's
mostly
school
I
mean
obviously,
over
the
years,
the
last
three
or
four
years,
we've
really
kind
of
kind
of
gone
out
of
our
way,
a
little
bit
to
help
you
guys
out.
So
at
this
point,
if
for
the
rest
of
the
year,
you
can
at
least
absorb
the
cost
for
two
more
three
more
for
more
than
when
we
do
the
budget
next
year.
I
H
However,
I'm
coming
here
and
that
I
fully
said-
and
I
you
know
that
I'm
not
exactly
sure
who's
in
charge
right
right.
So
personally,
I'm
asking
the
people
in
charge
now
and
and
basically
the
councilman.
My
ass
was
this
to
advocate
for
the
students
who
do
live
in
dena
state,
and
I
know
I
realize
that
it's
probably
a
little
bit
more
sensitive
on
myself
than
councilman
to
advocate
for
that,
because
the
truth
is,
these
are
children
who
are
crossing
our
streets.
F
M
F
H
I
H
As
to
what
what
I
can
give,
I
I
don't
know
I
I
certainly
go
back
and
ask
without
being
you
know,
sarcastic
I'll
certainly
ask
if
there's
money
for
a
crossing
guide.
But,
however,
when
I
asked
that
question
the
crossing
guides
do
not
come
out
about
audrey
and
when
you
allocated
money
as
you
well
know,
it
had
nothing
to
do
with
crossing
paths
in
the
book.
H
A
B
C
C
H
Perhaps
not
I
get
the
idea,
your
budget,
I
get
your
yeah
and
the
council
president
also
did
you
know,
say
the
budget.
You
know
the
budget
is
done,
but
looking
forward,
how?
How
do
we
make
this
happen?
Because
this
is
busy
and
we
do
have
an
increasing
number
of
students
who
are
which
you're
familiar
with
in
that
area
who
are
crossing
that
street?
Perhaps
five
years
ago.
C
C
C
P
You
so
the
clerk
has
been
kind
enough
to
show
me
the
sections
in
the
code
book
where
it
says
it's
governed
by
the
police
department
and
I'm
sure
there's
some
probably
rules
on
how
it
works
and
we
have
to
do
a
little
working
on.
I
don't
want
to
read
slave.
We
want
to
watch
the
debate,
but
I
will
say
I
think
the
idea
here
that
I
have
is
that
councilman
for
vecchio.
This
is
your
ward.
I
think
we
should
draft
a
resolution
asking
whoever
decides
where
these
people
go.
P
We've
had
a
drastic
change
in
the
population
of
every
school
in
the
city,
because
we're
moving
people
around.
Potentially
we
have
crossing
guards
that
I'll
make
it
up
to
temple
school.
That
don't
need
to
be
there
anymore,
because
the
population
has
gone
down
and
down
don't
grow
up,
because
it's
your
water,
it
could
happen
at
oakland
school
too.
P
Do
we
look
at
reallocating
some
of
these
bus
monitors
from
a
place
where
they
don't
need
to
be
or
move
them?
Do
they
need
to
be
hope?
Highlands
now
because
it's
a
junior
high
school,
if
there's
a
mo,
if
there's
a
crossing
guard
there,
could
we
move
them
from
hope,
islands
to
western
hills.
So,
let's
draft
a
resolution
that
asks
whoever
owns
this
to
take
a
look
at
where
they
are
see.
If
we
can
move
one
around
and
fix
this,
and
if
it's,
if
it's
the.
G
Thank
you
dan
for
bringing
the
issue
forward.
May
perhaps
maybe
we
could
ask
the
police
department
in
the
interim
to
just
do
a
review
of
the
situation
in
that
area
to
see
where
they
might
be
needed,
how
many
we
may
need,
and
then
you
could
reassess
the
other
areas
as
well
and
see
you
know
whether
you
can
shift
some
people
rather
than
I
don't
know.
G
If
the
times
are
different,
maybe
there's
some
overtime
that
could
be
available
available
to
some
of
the
crossing
guards
to
just
go
over
them
to
western
hills,
but
we
don't
even
know
how
many
we
would
need
or
what
areas
would
be
problematic.
So
maybe
we
could
get
the
police
department
started
on
that.
I
don't
know.
R
Mr
president,
if
I
may
there's
no
resolution
necessary
I
late
last
week
I
got
a
heads
up
from
the
superintendent
and
I
promised
that
I
would
sit
down
with
the
police
department,
the
traffic
department
and
whoever
and
figure
out
whoever
else
it
is
that's
involved
in
making
these
decisions,
because
I
know
there
are
people
that
make
these
decisions
and
get
to
the
bottom
of
it.
So
there's
no
need
for
resolution.
We
will
look
at
this
and
figure
out
what
we
can
do
and
I'll
be
happy
to
inform
the
interested
council
members
when
we
get
there.
A
O
Thank
you
just
for
the
audience
council
president
code,
chapter
10.24,
the
mayor
of
the
city,
is
empowered
to
appoint
not
more
than
50
women
as
school
crossing
guards.
Such
appointments
shall
be
made
in
accordance
with
the
charter
and
in
no
way
shall
establish
school
crossing
guards
as
permanent
members
of
the
police
force
1024.03,
it
shall
be
the
duty
of
each
school,
causing
god
to
stop
and
direct
traffic
at
intersections
and
crosswalks
designated
by
the
chief
of
police.
I
I
A

B
A
A

G
A
D
A
R
R
D
Y
Mr
president,
the
first
one
that
was
a
settlement,
it
was
actually
a
defect
in
a
crosswalk
and
that
had
settled
basically
for
the
amount
of
the
medical
bills.
The
bills
were
about
five
thousand.
We
settled
for
six
thousand.
The
second
settlement
was
a
rear
ender.
We
were
at
fault,
the
medicals
were
about
eight
to
ten
thousand.
We
settled
for
fourteen
thousand,
and
so
those
were
resolved
where
liability
was
not
an
issue
and
we
settled
those.
A
Y
A
You
found
yourself
in
a
situation
where
there
were
seven
open,
major
investigations
that
were
active
and
in
various
stages
of
completion,
and
you
came
into
a
situation
where
mayor
fung
wanted
to
reinstate
his
political
ally
friend
and
the
author
of
ticket
gate
captain
antonucci
through
it
all.
You
refuse
to
bend
to
tremendous
political
pressure
and,
as
a
result
of
your
efforts,
confidence
in
the
police
department
has
been
restored
and
the
citizens
of
christian
once
again
have
a
police
department
that
they
can
be
proud
of.
R
A
G
Thank
you,
council
president,
through
the
chair
to
to
the
administration.
I
don't
know
if
you're
up
to
it
tonight,
it's
been
a
long
night,
but
I
I
was
just
looking
to
see
if
you
had
any
idea
or
if
you
could
put
together
an
idea
of
what
we
saved
on
the
the
win
on
the
redistricting
case.
As
far
as
legal
fees
that
we
were
potentially
liable
for.
Y
Mr
president,
yes
yeah
well,
the
good
news
is
by
winning
the
case.
We
do.
We
at
this
point
are
not
liable
for
any
fees
or
costs
that
were
incurred
by
the
aclu,
as
you
know,
through
the
tom
brady
case,
and
we
always
go
back
to
that
case.
We
won
between
before
three
appellate
judges.
The
aclu
can
ask
for
an
on
bonk
hearing,
which
means
all
nine
justices.
I
believe
it's
seven
or
nine.
I
forget
what
it
is,
but
it's
the
complete
amount
of
dependent
they
can
ask
for
that.
Y
It's
rarely
given
or
they
could
go
to
the
us
supreme
court,
which
I
doubt
will
take
cert
because
they're
obviously
already
decided
earlier
this
year,
but
it
does.
I
will
have
to
take
a
look
at
that,
but
my
feeling
is-
and
I
think
we've
talked
about
this
with
our
legal
counsel-
the
aclu
took
on
a
novel
issue
when
they
sued
us
and
they
would
have
a
right
to
their
legal
fees
if
they
had
won.
They
also
had
more
attorneys
than
we
had
and
they
also
had
a
novel
issue.
Y
My
understanding
is,
is
we'd
have
to
pay
all
of
their
attorneys
and
we
would
also
have
to
pay
a
premium
rate,
because
it's
a
novel
law
that
they
went
forward
on
so
I
would
say,
would
either
be
double
or
triple
what
we
had
to
pay
to
defend
ourselves.
I
will
also
say
because
this
never
went
to
trial.
As
you
may
know,
we
had
cross
summary
judgments
when
the
plaintiffs
fought
a
summary
judgment.
We
filed
a
counter-summary
judgment
and
it's
good.
Y
Y
G
I
Y
Y
Well,
I
my
budget
for
outside
legal
fees
is
always
set
by
the
council,
and
I
have
to
pay
that
out
of
these
fees.
As
far
as
our
fiscal
year,
I
think
we're
up
to
20
to
30
000
so
far,
but
obviously
that
now
has
ended.
Okay,
so
that
money's
coming
out
of
your
budget,
it
does
and
but
remember
the
figure
I
gave
you
councilman
is
out
of
the
last
three
years.
This
has
been
pending
for
three
fiscal
years,
so.
Y
C
Y
It's
my
understanding,
her
deposition
is
scheduled
now,
as
I
mentioned,
this
has
been
kind
of
a
slow
case
we're
on
to
our
third
or
fourth
year
now,
and
she
really
has
done
nothing
to
go
forward
again.
I
don't
want
to
breach
any
confidentialities
with
our
attorneys.
It's
my
understanding.
Her
deposition
is
scheduled
for
next
month
october.
Y

Did
not
appeal
we
would
have
to
pay
every
fee
that
was
incurred
by
the
aclu
up
to
that
point
so
think
about
it.
That
would
have
been
two
years
of
fees
up
through
the
summer.
So
by
this
appeal
that
was
done
in
a
matter
of
weeks
months.
We'd
save
that
half
a
million
I
would,
I
would
guess.
I
think
it's
about
double
our
fees.
If
I
had
to
guess.
I
Yeah
I
just
wanted.
Well
I
I
I
just
don't
understand
what
you
meant
by
throwing
in
the
towel,
because
under
the
first
judgment
councilman
through
the
chair,
we
we
were
asked
to
go
ahead
and
try
to
start
redistricting
and
then,
as
we're
redistricting
we're
still
working
the
other
end.
And
when,
once
we
went
to
the
appeal,
I
don't
think
anybody
threw
in
the
towel.
I
I
think
this
council
acted
responsibly
because
we
were
under
judgment
from
one
judge
to
go
ahead
and
move
to
redistricting,
and
I
think
we
did
that
and
then
you
know
we
won
the
appeal,
and
that
was
that
I
don't
think
anybody
in
this
room
on
this
council
wanted
to
throw
in
the
towel.
You
know
I
mean
certainly
wasn't
me
and
the
rest
of
the
council.
People
could
speak
for
themselves
and
we
were
asked
to
redistrict.
We
did
did
a
damn
good
job.
I
G
C
Thank
you,
but
I
will
also
say
that
we
had
a
30-day
time
limit,
so
we
agreed
as
a
body-
and
I
know
you'll
agree
with
this-
that
we
were
going
to
out
of
abundance
of
caution
start
to
redistricting
in
case
we
weren't
successful
in
appeals
court.
So
that's
not
saying
between
the
towel.
That
saying
we
knew
that
the
administration
was
going
to
file
a
lawsuit
and
we
were
going
to
continue
with
the
redistricting
just
in
case
that's
a
little
bit
different
to
throwing
in
the
towel.
Well,
that's
exactly
what
happened.
C
So
and
I
don't
think
I
said
anything
that
we
would
lose
either.
I
just
said
that
we
had
to
do
what
we
had
to
do,
because
we
didn't
have
much
time
we
actually
only
had
20
days,
because
by
the
time
we
got
the
committee
together
and
ended
up
with
20
days.
So
so
you
know
that's
wrong.
That's
a
little
different
than
throwing
in
the
towel.
F
B
O
A
couple
of
issues
I
have
I'm
still
waiting
for
my
paving
list
for
ward
three,
the
proposed
paving
list.
I
know
jeff
perone
is
in
here,
but
you
haven't
paved
any
streets
in
my
district.
Yet,
but
at
least
you
can
tell
me
what
streets
you
may
pay
if
you
get
the
federal
grant,
so
does
the
administration
have
any
knowledge
as
to
proposed
streets
that
will
be
paved
in
ward
3
if
any.
O
O
She
might
want
to
send
traffic
safety
out
there
to
replace
that
stop
sign
and
then
gladstone
street.
I
know
I've
been
complaining
about
the
fence
to
no
avail,
but
now
there's
a
lot
of
foliage
growing
through
the
fence
tree
branches,
weeds
which
is
prohibiting
the
young
children
for
using
the
sidewalk
and
they're
walking
in
the
street.
So
could
we
get
a
city
crew
to
gladstone
at
least
trim
the
vegetation
that
has
grown
through
the
fence,
so
the
first
graders
don't
have
to
walk
in
the
street.
O
I'd
appreciate
that
okay
and
then
I'll
just
like
to
read
this
into
the
record.
This
is
from
the
providence
journal,
a
letter
to
the
editor.
It
says
condition
of
cranston
bike
path
to
disgrace.
I'm
writing
this
letter.
After
many
attempts.
I
believe
that
many
attempts
to
get
the
city
of
krantz
to
do
something
about
the
disgraceful
condition
of
the
cranston
bike
path.
I
have
spoken
with
the
director
of
boxing
recreation,
one
of
the
director's
employees
and
one
of
the
mayor,
allan
funk's
aides
and
have
also
spent
sent
emails
and
pictures
to
the
map.
O
The
bike
path
in
cranston
is
part
of
the
east
coast
greenway,
which
boasts
that
some
day
it
will
be
connected
from
maine
to
flower,
but
in
cranston
the
bike
path
is
a
disgrace
to
the
city.
I
have
complained
so
many
times
that
I
feel
that
after
this
letter
is
published,
there
may
be
retaliation
wow
as
you're.
Not
it
is
a
risk.
I
am
willing
to
take.
The
litter
is
bad,
the
fence
posts
are
in
rough
shape.
The
heaves
are
numerous.
There
is
washout
in
several
places.
O
The
garbage
can
sometimes
go
weeks
without
being
emptied,
large
branches
and
trees
fall,
and
our
left
just
left
a
foot
or
two
off
the
path.
And
last
but
not
least,
chemicals
are
sprayed
six
to
eight
feet
on
each
side
of
the
pack
to
kill
all
vegetation,
including
the
grass
just
so
the
grass
does
not
have
to
be
cut.
The
bike
path
should
be
an
asset
to
the
great
city,
not
the
burden.
O
The
recreation
department
admits
it
is
I
just
like
to
make
the
administration
aware
that
we
need
to
be
sensitive
to
the
bike
path,
because
not
only
people
from
cranston
use
that
but
all
residents
of
rhode
island
and
it's
it's-
you
know
it's
the
image
of
our
city
and
we
need
to
be
vigilant
in
cleaning
up.
I
know.
O
Council
minister
accounts
my
students
myself
had
volunteered
numerous
times
to
help
clean
that
bike
back,
and
we
welcome
any
council
people
or
other
citizens
to
do
so,
but
we
need
maybe
to
have
a
day
that
the
city
will,
you
know
publicize,
maybe
in
the
fall
and
in
the
spring
that
citizens
come
out
and
pitch
in,
we
can
help
clean
that
bike
path.
That's
something
the
administration
I
think,
should
work
on.
Thank
you.
