May 23, 2016, City Council Meeting

Yes,
please
stand
and
join
me
in
the
pledge
of.
A
A
D
G
H
If
it's
green,
thank
you
council
president.
As
you
know,
in
2004
in
2014
there
was
a
rhode
island,
dem
large
recreation
grant
program
for
which
the
city
received
400
thousand
dollars
for
earth,
sheltered,
vegetative,
roof,
sustainable
locker
room
at
cranston
stadium
that
would
be
located
in
the
the
southern
berm
of
the
stadium.
The.
H
Currently,
there's
a
there's
another
grant
round
of
where
the
city
could
obtain
another
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
project.
The
difference
between
the
200
2014
round
and
2016
round
is
that
in
the
2014
round
the
city
needed
an
equal
one-to-one
match
of
400
thousand
dollars,
which
city
appropriated
out
of
the
I
believe,
was
a
recreation
bond
fund
that
they
had
in
this
year's
program.
H
H
The
so
the
the
one
of
the
requirements
of
the
grant
submittal
is
to
have
a
resolution
from
the
city
council,
supporting
it
in
the
minutes
of
the
meeting.
To
that
end,
the
grant
is
due
on
friday.
I
plan
on
submitting
it
on
on
wednesday.
I
Thank
you
council
president,
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
to
put
an
official's
locker
room
in
right
on
in
these
new
plants.
Yes,
so
that
makes
it
a
little
it's
a
bit
bigger.
H
What
what
what
happened
was
that
the
there
was
a
two
there
were
a
set
of
as-built
drawings
from
the
2000
renovations
and
additions
to
the
cranston
stadium
as
built
drawings,
they're,
not
the
drawings
that
were
put
out
to
bid
they're
the
bill,
they're,
the
drawings
that
that
occur
afterwards.
In
other
words,
there
are
markups
on
it.
They
show
changes,
they
show
corrections
to
existing
conditions.
H
If
you
recall
the
winter
of
2014
and
2015
was
very
severe,
so
the
city
was
not
able
to
go
out
and
do
a
site
survey
as
required
in
the
contract
at
the
beginning,
and
we
were
given
the
as
built
drawings,
the
site
plans
to
work
with,
as
it
turns
out
the,
and
I
have
I
have
a
comparative
drawing
if
or
overlay.
H
If
the
council
would
want
to
see
it,
but
as
it
turns
out,
the
berm
the
burma
is
not
in
the
right
is
in
a
different
position:
different
shape,
different
configuration
and
what
that
resulted
in
is
there's
additional
structural
costs
to
the
project.
The
initiative
of
a
the
official
locker
room
that
you
refer
to
councilman
santa
maria,
so
that
those
two
things
resulted
in
the
additional
cost
of
approximately
four
hundred
thousand
dollars.
E
I
An
update
on
what
happened
today,
as
far
as
how
far
down
we
got
and.
H
H
The
the
geotechnical
report
for
the
to
to
give
guidance
on
the
strength
of
the
foundation
in
the
in
the
footings
was
done.
In
january.
H
They
encased
it
in
steel
today
of
180
feet
tomorrow,
they're
going
to
be
drilling
through
bedrock,
probably
through
to
a
depth
of
500
feet
rather
than
the
400
that
was
originally
planned,
because
I
did
some
calculations
between
leaving
the
site
today
and
coming
to
the
meeting.
It'll,
save
it'll
save
the
city
about
forty
four
hundred
dollars
by
going
to
a
500
foot
well
as
opposed
to
the
400
foot
wells.
G
H
I
have
I
have
a
spreadsheet
that
that
outlines,
where
the
80
that
80
000
plus
is
coming
from
the
city
of
zac
city
actually
has
a
match.
According
to
the
budget
that
I
developed
of.
J
J
H
J
So
about
sixty
thousand
is
there
any
risk
on
the
bond
we
took
in
2014
sunsetting?
So
what's
the
sunset
clause
on
that
original
grant
from
dem.
H
I've
I
started
talking
to
dem
several
months
ago
and
I
think
that,
given
the
given
the
circumstances,
they're
all
reasonable-
I
mean
things
happen.
The
as
I
said,
the
the
the
the
site
plans
that
that
the
city
had
on
the
asbel
site
plans
that
we
were
given
to
work
with.
They
were
stamped
by
an
architect
and
two
registered
engineers
by
all
by
all
accounts
because
of
the
markups
that
were
on
there.
They
noted
sewer
tie-in
here
and
whatnot.
There
was
work
done
in
the
berm,
they
looked
to
be
accurate.
J
H
I
should
note
that
the
to
do
the
work
on
behalf
of
the
city
that
I
took
out
an
insurance
policy
I
paid
for
the
drilling
is
only
paying
for
these
drillings,
which
I'm
to
be
reimbursed
for,
because
I'm
doing
work
on
behalf
of
the
city,
so
that
money
has
been
paid
out
of
my
pocket.
G
I
Oh
yeah,
do
we
have
any
any
idea
when
those
original
plans
that
were
incorrect
were
written.
H
Incorrect
as
far
as
as
far
as
the
portion
of
the
stadium
with
regards
to
where
the
berm
is
where
this
project
is
located,
which
is
the
reason
why
dem
you
know,
granted
the
funds,
because
normally
what
happens
under
the
statewide
comprehensive
outdoor
recreation
program
and
the
way
that
the
grand
scoring
is
large-scale
recreation
facilities
for
organized
sports,
such
as
football
soccer,
ranked
very
low.
And
it
was
the
nature
of
where
the
locker
room
was
being
placed
in
an
existing
berm,
so
that
it
would
not
create
any
more
would
not
add
impervious
surfaces.
H
C
H
What
they
do
from
the
ground
geothermal
system
that
was
part
of
the
original
grant
application?
What
the
geothermal
system
does
is,
after
about
six
to
eight
feet
below
the
ground,
the
earth
is
a
constant
temperature
and
the
constant
temperature
varies
depending
on
where
you
are
and
the
type
of
soil
and
bedrock
that
you
hit.
So
what
what
we'll
do
is
as
though
the
well
has
a
heat
capturing
fluid
in
it
in
these
tubes
as
they
go
down.
H
What
it'll
do
is
they'll
pick
up
the
heat,
take
it
up
to
the
building
and
heat
it
during
the
cooler
months
and
reverse
that
process
in
the
in
the
warmer
months,
so
that
it
could
serve
as
air
conditioning
it's
it's
basically
an
air.
It's
a
heat
exchange
system,
the
air
conditioners
that
we
have
in
our
houses,
our
heat
exchange
systems,
but
they're
on
one
way.
This
happens
to
be
2a
and
it
uses
the
earth.
C
Okay,
so,
and
they
had
to
go
down
they're
going
to
go
down
500
feet.
Does
that
help.
H
Originally,
we
were
planted
400
feet,
but
because
the
way,
the
way
that
the
all
the
bids
had
come
in
is
it
was
so
much
a
foot
for
drilling
and
then
so
much
of
so
much
a
foot
for
casing
over
the
steel
casing
over
above
20
feet.
So
what
happened
was
because
we
went
down
180
feet
all
of
a
sudden,
we're
paying
more
for
that
for
that
same
amount
of
depth
as
we
would
if
we're
going
to
500
feet.
H
So
it
makes
more
sense
if
we
went
to
500
feet,
not
only
we
save
money
if
we
want
to
save
four
wells,
but
we
might
pick
up
enough
heat
out
of
three
wells
for
500
foot
depth
as
we
would
a
404
with
400
foot
depth.
So
we
could
there
there's
potentially
additional
savings
there
and
that's
why
we're
doing
a
cut,
what
they
call
a
conductivity
test,
which
is
after
the
well
is
drilled
and
it
sets
for
sets
for
three
days
the
there's,
a
machine
that
that
tells
how
much
how
much?
H
C
And
would
you
explain
what
in-kind
services
would
look
like
in
terms
of
meeting
those
demands
for
the
80,
000
or
160?
If
we
have
to
spend
more.
H
Well,
in
in
in
discussing
the
project
before
there
were
certain
things
that
the
recreation
department
could
do
in
terms
of
demolition
and
whatnot,
so
those
are
included.
I
I,
if
you
remember
with
the
last
council,
I
believe
I
presented-
I
don't
know
if
this
council
wasn't
this.
I
think
the
council
changed
in
terms
of
personnel,
but
I
I
presented
a
model.
H
It
was
a
very
detailed
architectural
model
that
I
didn't
charge
the
city
for
so
I
included
that
in
donated
services,
because
that's
part
of
the
grant
application
as
well
so
all
told
all
those
things
they
they
add
up.
The
recreation
department,
the
other
day
put
out
for
the
geothermal
well
drilling.
They
removed
the
chain
link
fence,
put
a
pay
bales.
So
what
I
did
is,
I
included
the
the
value
of
that
not
only
for
the
materials
but
also
for
the
labor.
So
a
lot
of
things
like
that
added
up.
A
Any
other
questions,
councilman
stykos.
H
No,
there
are
a
number
of
there
are
a
number
of
you
know,
fallback
positions
I
mean
what
I
did
was.
I
was
very
careful
and
very
detailed
is
you
know,
I'd
be
happy
to
give
the
guy
brought
about
copies
for
the
council
very
detailed.
You
know,
construction
estimate,
it's
it's
still.
It's
doable,
but
you
know
certain
things
like
everything
you
know
you
just.
You
can't
have
everything
that
that
you
want.
H
Be
well,
I
think
what
I
would
have
to
do
is
because
the
structure
the
structure
has
to
change
before
with
the
berm
their
way,
I
thought
it
was,
you
would
go
up
eight
foot
and
then
you'd
have
a
straight
line
wall
between
between
from
the
base
all
the
way
up.
Now,
the
structure
has
to
kick
in
a
little
bit,
because
it's
shallower
that
structure
will
cost
more
I'll,
have
to
look
at
probably
narrowing
the
building
slightly
so
to
have
a
more
efficient
structure.
J
H
H
I
think
there's
a
I'm
not
sure
my
understanding
and
I
may
be
wrong-
was
that
the
city
is
able
to
build
a
state
accordingly
accordingly,
in
progress
so
as
opposed
to
waiting
until
the
whole.
The
whole
thing
was
done.
I
I
you
know,
I
would
say
this
I
want.
I
want
the
council
to
really
understand
this.
H
L
J
H
H
That's
why
that's
why
I
was
hired
under
a
given
direction
as
a
change
in
services
to
perform
the
city's
obligations
and
that's
what
I've
been
doing
and
that's
how
that's
that's,
how
it
was
discovered.
The
discrepancies,
serious,
significant
discrepancies
between
the
site
plan
I
was
given
to
work
with
in
the
actual
conditions.
G
I
wasn't,
I
was
the
council
president,
please
a
point
of
privilege.
This
is
where,
on
the
docket
is
a
resolution
to
apply
for
another
grant.
I
think
I
would
request
that
we
have
a
special
counsel
meeting
on
this,
because
I
think
this
is
a
little
bit
more
detailed
and
is
necessary
for
here
right
now.
It's
the
resolution
to
get
money.
If
the
administration
would
like.
M
I
would
because
I'm
afraid
there
may
be
a
little
bit
of
misunderstanding
going
all
the
way
back
to
the
original
as
drawn
plans
that
mr
falarski
referenced,
because
I
sat
through
a
couple
of
meetings
and
heard
a
lot
about
this
and
not
being
an
engineer.
It
took
me
a
while
to
sort
through
all
of
the
back
and
forth.
M
So
it's
certainly
conceivable
that,
as
they
appear
on
these
plans,
they
were
not
the
engineers
focus
that
was
drawing
them
and
when
mr
fularsky
began
the
design
of
a
new
project
that
centered
completely
underneath
this
firm
and
started
taking
measurements
and
and
realized
that
the
shape
and
the
angle
and
the
location
was
a
little
bit
different
than
it
was
on
these
plants.
So
it
was
a
first
step
in
in
doing
the
plans
for
the
new
construction,
but
it
did
require
that
a
more
specific
set
of
plans
be
drawn
more
closely
focused
on
the
berm.
M
M
I
too
have
spoken
to
dem
the
director
of
planning,
and
I
am
somewhat
confident
that
we
will
not
only
get
the
extension
but
also
be
in
a
good
position
to
apply
for
the
new
grant.
This
is
a
very
unique
cutting
edge
idea
of
putting
locker
rooms
underneath
an
earthen
berm
with
a
live
growing
roof
or
cover
on
top
of
the
locker
room.
With
this
geothermal
heat.
It's
something
that
I
think
dem
is
pretty
interested
in
so
cautiously
optimistic
about
the
whole
project.
A
I
I
just
want
a
council
person
I
just
wanted
to.
I
know
when
we
hit
that
log
jam
earlier.
I
want
to
thank
director,
coop
and
director
barone
for
kind
of
getting
everybody
to
the
table
finding
out
where
we
were.
As
you
can
see
now,
things
are
moving
at
a
better
pace
than
they
were
before.
So
again
it
was
a
team
effort
and
I
thank
both
directors
for
taking
some
time
out
of
their
day
to
sit
with
mr
felowsky
and
mr
libertarian
and
getting
this
I
think,
moving
along.
I
So,
but
I
think
before
that
the
there
was
a
log
jam,
but
I
think
there
isn't
any
more
so
and
ken
doesn't
really
know
finances,
that's
more
of
a
director
strom's
area.
So
that's
why
we
had
him
involved
also,
so
thank
you.
A
Speaking
of
finances,
you
mentioned
earlier
that
you
there's
some
out-of-pocket
costs
on
your
part.
Some
of
these.
H
There
was
a
bill
in
november
of
7
700
that
was
submitted
to
the
city.
There
was
the
the
the
structural
testing
of
the
soil,
is
2750.,
there's
my
time
involved
and
then
there's
the
drilling
drilling
today,
when
it's
complete
with
the
conductivity
test
will
be
close
to
eighteen
thousand
dollars.
K
I
had
a
discussion
in
the
weigh-in
with
mr
pelosi.
I
never
received
the
7
700
bill,
he's
going
to
resubmit
it
to
me
and
I'll
take
care
of
that
immediately.
The
other
items
he's
going
to
be
generating
another
bill.
I
asked
him
to
come
and
see
me
with
that
bill
and
then
we'll
process
it
once
I
feel
that
it's
you
know
correct
and
accurate.
K
A
F
N
C
G
Yes,
this
item
on
the
agenda
has
been
continued
from
april
25th
2016..
I
guess
we're
waiting
for
the
parties
to
come
with
agreement.
I
know
if
the
parties
are
here
if
they've
spoken
to
the
city,
if
there's
an
agreement-
and
I
guess
we
can
move
this.
B
B
Pleases
the
council,
I
do
have
a
copy
of
the
agreement
and
the
deed
will.
E
G
Well,
if
there's
everything's
in
order-
and
I
just
need
a
motion
to
approve
one
second.
C
Thank
you
president.
I
just
wanted
to
to
make
sure
that
the
through
the
chair
to
the
parties,
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they're
they're
in
agreement
with
this
and
this
there
won't
be
any
because,
once
this
is
on
record,
you
understand.
That's
it.
We
can't
change
it.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure,
especially
the
butter,
because
he's
not
putting
up
the
funds.
I
guess
for
the
some
of
this
construction
of
the
driveway.
O
This
agreement
may
seem
a
little
odd
to
you,
I'm
the
one
instigating
and
costing
him
money
by
having
him
come
up
with
money
to
buy
his
half
of
the
piece.
It
is
all
on
me.
I
decided
this
idea,
so
I
did
not
choose
to
burden
him
with
that,
and
I
want
to
make
it
more
to
his
advantage
to
help
me
get
this
deal
done.
It
benefits
both
of
us.
I
know
what
I'm
doing,
I'm
an
old
guy.
O
Okay,
we
did
this
early
and,
as
you
can
see
by
the
agreement,
I
think
we're
we're
together.
Okay
and
by
the
way,
I'm
not
building
him
a
golden
highway
to
95.
yeah.
It's
an
eight-foot
piece
connects
to
his
driveway
gives
him
good
access
and
it
improves
his
value.
My
value
and
everybody
wins
especially
the
city
as
well
and
giving
up
a
piece
of
property,
and
we
offset
that
eighty
thousand
dollars
by
another
full
well.
P
Oh,
of
course,
100.
It
was
very
gracious
from
scratch
here
to
to
take
care
of
the
the
side
of
the
driveway
for
me,
so
that
way
I'm
able
to
get
in
and
I
have
good
access
and
I
definitely
appreciate
it,
and
I
appreciate
all
of
your
time
to
help
us
reach
this
resolution.
O
F
A
Yes,
ordinance
committee,
chairman
aiketo.
N
G
A
G
Yeah,
I
believe,
speaking
with
the
administration
traffic,
there's
a
amendment
that
I'd
like
to
propose
director.
G
C
I'll
second,
it
motion.
G
The
the
reason
for
this
is
the
constant
presence.
Yes
continue
when
we
first
put
the
audience
in
for
the
stop
sign,
it
wasn't
written
properly
and
that's
my
fault.
It
was
always
intended
to
be
a
three-way
stop
and
it
wasn't
that
I
proposed
to
put
signs
on
comstock
and
not
and
take
the
one
down
on
horizon,
but
the
proper
way
to
do
this
is
to
have
a
three-way
stop
and
the
language
I
proposed
in
the
amendment
will
do
that.
A
L
L
E
C
N
Next,
bill
passed
by
rush
community
4-16-1,
a
ordinance
and
amendment
of
chapter
8.28,
quarter,
city
crash
2005,
entitled
property,
maintaining
standards,
neglected
premises,
violation,
inspections,
notice
and
enforcement.
I
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
thank
the
committee
for
passing
this
through
to
the
council.
This
basically
was
written
a
few
years
ago.
We
were
finding
a
lot
of
foreclosures
back
in
0809
and
the
banks
weren't
taking
care
of
the
properties.
So
we
have
our
guys
go
in
and
trim
the
grass
weed
whack
and
put
a
lien
on
the
property
and
charge
a
10
percent
administrative
fee.
I
It
seems
to
work
because
when
mr
pachel
came
before
the
budget
committee
meeting,
he
said
they
have
been
collecting
it.
I
just
feel
that
still
some
banks
are
neglecting
their
property,
so
I
thought
it
prudent
to
raise
it
to
20.
Administrative
fee
evidently
passed
the
full
committee,
so
I
would
urge
passage
because
we
know
the
banks
can
afford
a
10
increase.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
council
president,
a
couple
of
other
things
I
just
wanted
to
mention
one.
I
think
one
of
the
back
backlog
of
these
those
foreclosed
properties
was
some
litigation
that
was
in
the
federal
courts
that
really
tied
up
the
titles
to
these
properties.
The
so
no
one
knew
who
owned
the
property
some
of
them.
Literally
I
mean
the
banks
were
so
their
foreclosures
were
being
held
up
because
they
were
void
and
there
were.
There
was
a
decision
actually
in
rhode,
island
that
that
voided,
thousands
of
foreclosures.
C
So
there
are
a
lot
of
foreclosure
deeds
on
record
that
are
actually
not
valid,
so
that
might
have
caused
a
lot
of
the
problem.
One
and
another
correction
I'd
like
to
suggest
to
the
solicitor
in
line
47
where
it
speaks
to
out
of
state
financial
institutions
and
banks
and
serving
the
director
of
business
regulation.
C
It
doesn't
work
with
federal
banks.
Federal
banks
are
not
required
to
register
with
the
secretary
of
state
or
with
the
department
of
business
regulation
they're,
federally
chartered
and
most
of
the
time
they
do
not
have
a
registered
agent.
If
they
have
a
bank
branch
location,
you
can
serve
the
manager
of
a
bank
branch
and
I've
done
it,
but
in
terms
of
reaching
a
federally
chartered
bank,
especially
if
they
don't
have
any
locations
in
rhode
island,
you
may
have
a
problem.
You
may
have
to
look
at
something
different
with
regard
to
that.
J
Thank
you,
council
president.
You
know
we
support
this
legislation.
I
think
it
makes
sense.
I
think
initially,
when
we
talked
about
passing
this,
we
talked
about
this
last
year
about
raising
the
administrative
fee.
I
thought
10
was
basically
like
a
nuisance
fee
for
a
bank.
J
If
it
costs
fifty
dollars
to
mow
along,
they
gladly
pay
us
55,
so
they
don't
have
to
find
someone
to
upkeep
the
property,
so
I
think
making
it
20
puts
a
little
more
teeth
in
it.
Lets
them
understand
that
we
will
be
charging
administrative
fee,
that's
more
than
just
a
nominal
10
increase.
It
will
hopefully
help
us
get
them
to
understand
their
responsibilities,
know
that
they
have
to
keep
the
properties.
Even
if
they're,
in
a
lengthy
foreclosure
due
to
some
kind
of
litigation,
they
still
have
to
upgrade
their
properties.
J
If
not,
the
city
will
do
it
for
you
and
charge
you
a
20
fee.
I
know
in
my
neighborhood
right
now
there
are
three
foreclosures
with
grass
that
are
about
knee-high
and
unfortunately,
no
one
seems
to
want
to
come
cut
their
grass,
so
the
neighbors
have
taken
up
on
themselves
to
do
it.
We
won't
get
the
20,
but
at
least
the
neighborhood
looks
good.
So
thank
you.
Councilman
santa
maria
and
councilman
asido
for
putting
this
through.
I
All
right,
thank
you.
I
just
checked
with
director
strom
council
president.
We
had
budgeted
that
line
item
last
year
for
eighteen
hundred
and
eighty
dollars
we've
collected
over
9
700.,
so
there
are
still
houses
out
there
and
banks
that
are
willing
to
pay
it,
because
when
they
go
to
sell
the
property,
they
look
and
see
a
lien
from
the
city
of
cranston
and
they
have
to
pay
it
before
the
the
deed
is
released.
I
So
I
think
it's
working
if
you're
nine
times
the
amount
budgeted
and
with
an
increase
to
twenty
percent,
maybe
you'll
see
these
things,
get
cleaned
up
in
council,
councilman,
farina's
neighborhood
quicker
and
I
think
20
percent,
like
they
say
money
talks
and
you
know
what
walks.
So
I
urge
passage.
G
E
G
C
Yeah,
I
don't
know,
I
don't
know
if
the
states
have
the
right
to
tell
the
federal
government
what
to
do
with
their
banks.
I
I'm
not
sure
of.
C
Well,
I
know
that
I
I
I
chased
down
a
bank
one
of
the
federal
chartered
banks.
I
could
not
find
an
agent
for
service,
I
called
dbr.
I
researched
it
researched
it
heavily,
and
I
found
that
you
could
serve
branch
manager
if
they
have
a
branch
here
which
is
easier
actually
just
serve
a
branch.
C
I
You
one
quick
question
through
the
cheer
to
minority
leader,
so
a
big
bank
like,
let's
say,
bank
of
america.
I
C
C
I
C
Yeah
right
well,
bank
of
america
would
be
easy
if
they
respond,
regardless
of
how
you
give
them
notice.
If
they
respond
in
our
local
court,
then
then
we
have
jurisdiction,
but
if
they
don't,
if
they
don't
respond,
let's
say
it
was
wells
fargo
who
doesn't
have
any
branches
in
rhode
island
if
they
own
a
mortgage
and
they
foreclose
on
a
property.
I
I
I
Were
ignoring
that's
right
once
we
put
this
in,
they
started
on
ignoring
us.
If
that's
a
word,
so
I
think
it's
working,
but
I'll
be
honest
with
you,
I'm
not
my
colleagues.
I
have
a
good
point
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
no
loophole
that
they
can
get
around
grabbing
the
the
d
without
paying
me.
M
I
haven't
heard
of
a
case
of
our
solicitor
not
being
able
to
find
one
someone
to
bring
to
municipal
court
to
answer
for
it.
If,
if
we
do,
then
again,
I'm
not
sure
what
we
can
do
about
it,
because
there
is
a
federal
preemption
issue
that
preempts
state
law
and
also
would
preempt
municipal
law,
but
we'll
have
to
talk
to
its
assistant
solicitor
marcella
handles
most
of
these
I'd
have
to
talk
to
him
about.
I
Could
we
get
our
counselor
involved
too
also
sure,
thank
you.
F
R
G
L
The
first
resolution
to
do
with
the
city,
purchase
of
street
lights
and
the
conversion
of
the
lights
to
led
lights
was
referred
by
the
finance
committee
without
recommendation
to
the
full
council
to
be
considered
on
the
condition
that
the
city
council's
attorney,
mr
quinlan,
could
look
at
the
legal
agreement
and
give
us
his
views
on
that.
C
A
Yeah
mr
quinlan
will
give
us
his
opinion.
S
The
the
language
genetic
in
the
agreement
and
language
in
the
resolution-
let's
start
with
the
resolution,
is
really
dictated
by
bond
counsel
to
comply
with
both
state
and
federal
law,
and
that's
why
it's
worded
that
way.
It's
a
little
odd
and
arcane
wording,
but
that
is
required
by
stable.
A
C
Thank
you,
council.
President
yeah.
We
discussed
this
at
length
at
the
finance
committee
and
I
know
councilman
stykos
had
that
question.
So
I
I'm
glad
mr
quinlan
was
here
to
answer
it,
but
I
think
it's
a
good.
It's
it's
going
to
save
us
money.
I
think
what
we
spend
on
the
bond
payments
is
certainly
going
to
be
paid
for
by
the
savings
and
electrical
costs.
I
think
we're
going
to
save
some
serious
money,
so
I
would
urge
passage.
M
A
L
A
L
A
E
C
E
A
L
The
next
ordinance
was
recommended
by
the
finance
committee
to
loan,
the
cranston
and
western
little
league.
I
think
it's
a
hundred
and
thirteen
thousand
dollars
to
construct
lights.
J
Thank
you
through
the
chat
to
the
sponsors.
I
would
like
to
be
added
as
a
co-sponsor
this
I
was
called
by
the
christmas
little
league
initially
and
asked
to
be
a
sponsor,
and
I
think,
since
I
missed
the
finance
meeting,
I
couldn't
ask
there
so
hopefully
they'll
allow
me
so
I'd
like
to
be
out
as
a
sponsor,
please.
I
am.
L
M
The
loan
is
a
no
interest
loan
because
we're
using
bond
funds
we're
not
allowed
to
charge
interest
that
would
violate
some
arbitrage
laws
and
there
is
a
loan
agreement
that
was
drafted
by
council
to
the
city
that
will
be
finalized
tomorrow.
Assuming
the
vote
goes
as
it
did
in
the
finance
committee
and
should
be
signed
this
week.
M
N
G
We
own
the
field
and
any
improvements
on
the
fields
throughout
the
city,
not
just
at
this
little
league
field.
It
happens
that
they're
putting
up
these
lights
and
if
something
really
bad
were
to
happen.
I
guess
one
of
my
colleagues
talked
about
38
studies.
We
would
own
the
fields
and
we
would
own
the
lights.
G
G
I
think
this
is
maybe
might
look
unusual,
but
it's
going
to
improve
the
facility
and
it's
going
to
improve
the
city
and
it's
going
to
leave
us
that
if
somebody
else
were
to
ask
us
to
do
the
same
thing,
I'd
do
the
same
thing
with
somebody
else,
I'm
comfortable
that
the
loan
agreement
is
going
to
be
signed,
and
I
really
don't
want
to
belittle
this.
We
can
get
copies
of
the
executed
loan
agreement
and
that'll
be
good
enough
for
me.
J
To
approve
this,
thank
you,
council
president.
I
agree
wholeheartedly
with
councilman
councilman.
I
look
at
this
as
more
of
a
leasehold
improvement
than
anything
else.
We're
loaning
a
lessee,
some
money
to
improve
our
properties
that
we
then
own
and
would
utilize.
Should
this
person
no
longer
utilize
our
facilities?
J
I
do
think
it's
a
step
in
the
right
direction
and
we'll
set
a
precedent
that
will
allow
other
organizations
such
as
clcf,
the
ravens,
softball,
leagues,
all
the
leagues
that
utilize
our
other
fields
and
other
parts
of
the
city,
the
bud,
long
leagues,
to
come
to
this
council
and
say
we
have
a
city-owned
property.
We
feel
a
need,
there's
a
need
for
lights.
At
this
field,
it
will
add
value
to
us
as
supporting
youth,
and
then
we
could
judge
that
accordingly,
based
on
the
merits
of
the
case
and
potentially
loan
bond
funds.
J
The
only
question
I
have
to
director
coop
is
in
the
ordinance
it
doesn't.
The
resolution
doesn't
say
how
many
months
we're
going
to
amortize
this
over,
just
as
we're
going
to
give
them
113
000
they'll
pay
payback
the
cost
in
the
fees.
Is
that
no
interest?
How
many
months
are
we
advertising
that
ten.
M
L
I
guess
I
I
also
don't
exactly
understand
what's
going
on
here,
because
I
was
happened
to
be
by
the
fields
last
week
and
there
are
lights
there.
So
is
this
a
second
field
that
is
supposed
to
have
lights,
so
there's
one
field
that
has
lights,
and
this
is
a
second
field.
That's
going
to
have
lights.
M
I
Thank
you.
Can
I
shed
some
light
on
this
being
a
part
of
this
little
leaf
felt
like
most
of
my
adult
life
and
childhood,
I
can
tell
you
there's
over
700
children
in
cranston
western
little
league
alone.
I
I
They
intend
on
letting
the
girls
softball
play
down
at
the
sherman
avenue
the
two
fields
there
and
that
overflow
will
go
and
play
at
the
second
baseball
field,
so
they
can
play
you
know
from
basically
from
afternoon
until
dark,
so
they
can
fit
all
those
children
in
the
700
children
plus
you're,
adding
now
the
the
girls
softball.
So
I
would
guess,
there's
probably
close
to
850
900
kids
so
or
more.
So
I
think
it's
a
matter
of
real
estate
in
this
situation,
rather
than
anything
else
that
they
we
have
the
room
out
there.
I
It's
not
near
houses.
Like
you
know.
Your
wards,
which
I
know
councilman
botch,
brought
up
all
the
fields
in
the
eastern
side
of
the
city
are
house
locked
so
to
say
that
they're
close
to
houses,
so
the
lights
wouldn't
be
feasible
there
up
in
western
cranston.
I
They
should
have
their
own
zip
code,
because
it's
I
mean
so
way
out
there
that
the
lights
won't
affect
that
many
people.
If
any,
I
think
the
last
time
we
put
lights
at
furado,
one
house
came
to
complain
about
it
and
they
haven't
complained
since
so
it's
a
matter
of
real
estate
for
them.
I
really
think
that
they're,
just
adding,
adding
adding
more
kids,
more
kids,
more
kids
and
they
just
need
to
have
that
field
at
the
max
and
adding
lights,
will
do
that.
I
So
just
the
comments
that
I
got
from
the
leader,
so
thank
you.
G
Just
a
couple
of
quick
points
to
the
administration,
with
the
lights
that
were
put
up
there,
they
pay
for
those
on
their
own.
We
don't
pay
an
electric
bill
there.
Do
we
director,
strom
or
director
coop?
Do
you
know
we
don't
pay.
G
Okay,
the
second
thing
is:
is
they'll,
be
playing
baseball
like
right
through
probably
almost
halloween
and
right
now
they
run
one
big
tournament
tournament
for
the
east
coast,
which
includes
teams
from
as
far
as
delaware,
washington,
d.c
connecticut,
maryland
new
jersey,
maine,
new
hampshire
and
vermont.
But
the
plans
are
also
to
have
tournaments,
not
just
in
the
summer,
but
have
football
tournaments,
also
in
the
fall
and
east
tournaments
that
they
have
will
generate
considerable
considerable.
G
Let
me
say
one
more
time:
considerable
amounts
of
revenue
so
that
they'll
be
paid
for
that,
and
I
just
need
to
add
on
to
something
that
councilman
santa
maria
said
with
cranston
weston
literally
now
offering
a
girls
program
it's
kind
of
about
time,
and
I
would
anticipate
that
within
the
next
three
to
five
years.
G
R
Papalakas,
thank
you.
Council.
President
councilman
aceto
stole
a
little
bit
of
my
thunder,
but
I
will
be
supporting
this
wholeheartedly.
I
think
it's
a
good
improvement
to
a
great
facility
that
the
city
owns.
I
want
to
thank
the
sponsors
for
putting
this
in
so
I
say:
let's
get
the
lights
up
and
let
the
kids
play
some
baseball,
so
I'll
be
supporting
it.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you.
The
only
one
thing
that
councilman
aceto
did
forget
was
it
gives
the
ability
to
play
spring
baseball
now,
whereas
they
can
have
tournaments
in
the
spring
for
early
spring
tournaments,
in
addition
to
the
summer
tournaments,
in
addition
to
the
fall
tournaments
having
two
lighted
fields,
and
you
know
having
been
involved
with
clcf
and
cranston
western,
both
leagues
over
the
years
when
you
go
to
those
tournaments
for
both
leagues,
especially
when
you're
talking
about
u11
u12
u13.
J
These
are
teams
that
have
played
in
the
state
championships
the
little
league
world
series,
two
of
which
have
won
the
little
league
world
series,
so
to
add
another
field
just
gives
it
the
more
ability
to
be
used
by
more
teams
at
more
times,
bringing
more
tournaments
to
the
city
driving
revenue.
I
think,
in
the
long
run,
in
the
short
run,
it's
a
definite
boon
to
the
city.
L
I
I
I
A
There's
a
motion
to
continue
in
a
second
any
discussion
on
this
motion.
G
Yes,
I'm
sorry:
what
was
the
ruling
from
the
solicitor.
I
No,
I'm
I'm
I'm
going
to
put
a
motion
to
move
the
question.
Let's
move
on
councilman
steichos's
motion
to
continue.
N
I
think
this
is
a
good
idea,
but
I
don't
know
what
the
hurry
is
and
I'd
like
to
see.
The
agreement,
I
think,
would
be
prudent
for
this
council
to
look
at
the
loan
agreement.
I
think
that
would
be
the
prudent
thing
unless
we
are
under
time
restraint
here.
Are
we
under
retirement
strength,
or
I
mean
if
we're
not.
I
think
the
best
direction
is
for
the
council
to
look
at
the
loan
agreement.
A
C
M
I
certainly
can
it's.
May
23rd,
kids
are
playing
baseball.
The
polls
are
sitting
on
the
side
of
the
field.
The
fixtures
are
ready
to
go.
Holding
this
up
for
another
month
would
just
cause
unneeded
delay
and
havoc.
N
So
your
answer
is
because
it's
the
baseball
season
and
there's
polls
on
the
side
of
the
field.
This
is
the
reason
why
expedient
not
because
we're
the
watchdogs
of
the
people's
taxes.
I
guess
you
used
that
same
analogy
when
it
came
to
the
police
department
with
all
the
legal
expenses.
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
that
loan
agreement.
If
there's
nothing
wrong,
it
shouldn't
be
a
problem.
So
is.
A
A
N
G
A
I
E
F
I
J
E
L
Councilman
psychos,
I'm
not
going
to
be
voting
for
the
main
motion
for
several
reasons.
We
don't
have
a
loan
agreement.
I
don't
I
don't
know.
Apparently
we
were
able.
The
polls
have
been
purchased
before
the
council
approved
this
resolution.
If
they're
sitting
by
the
side
of
the
field,
I
don't
know
why
we
couldn't
negotiate
a
loan
agreement
quickly
enough
to
get
it
before
the
council,
and
I
also,
I
think,
that
we
have
a
a
problem
with
recreation
in
this
city,
that
there
are
low-income
kids
who
are
getting.
L
L
We
have
another
set
of
people
who
have
the
money
to
buy
things,
and
we
cater
to
the
second
group,
those
that
have
the
money
rather
than
try
to
involve
more
low-income,
kids
in
other
neighborhoods
to
participate
in
sports,
and
I
also
I
gotta
say
I
really
question
whether
this
is
for
the
benefit
of
the
kids
or
it's
for
the
benefit
of
the
coaches
and
the
adults
who
want
to
do
this
more.
L
L
I
really
question
whether
this
is
this
is
necessary
if
it's
just
having
just
the
coaches
demanding
more
time
out
of
the
kids
schedule
for
baseball
councilman.
A
F
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
will
be
voting
no
only
because
I
think
this
merit
in
what
councilman,
steichos
and
councilman
arketo
said
in
having
the
loan
agreement
in
front
of
us.
It's
it's
purely
procedural.
F
F
We
would
actually
give
waivers
or
scholarships
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
on
the
fees
for
registration
and
it
would
be
either
you
know,
graduated
if
you
pay
what
you
can
or
they
wouldn't
pay
anything
depending
on
the
situation
and
each
one
was
taken
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
so
I
don't
think
we're
preventing
low-income
children
from
playing
because
of
money.
There
might
be
other
issues
involved
with
that,
whether
there's
no
interest
in
baseball
or
whatever,
but
I
think
if
they
wanted
to
truly
play
the
game
they
would
play.
F
But
again,
I
think,
just
from
a
procedural
standpoint,
I
will
be
voting
against
this.
I
think
we
should
see
the
loan
agreement
in
front
of
us.
Thank
you.
C
Yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
President.
I
mean
this
is
this.
Is
such
a
simple
thing?
We
don't
draft
all
of
the
contracts.
We
basically
get
to
read
them,
but
we
we
rely
on
our
solicitors
and
outside
attorneys
to
do
the
contracts.
This
is
about
the
most
simple
contract.
You
could
possibly
it's
a
it's
a
hundred
and
thirteen
thousand
dollars
over
ten
years
with
zero
interest.
C
You
just
do
simple,
math,
calculation
and
and
the
other
thing
is
someone's
gonna
going
to
pay
to
put
to
improve
our
property,
whether
even
if
they
didn't
pay
it,
we,
it
still
improved
our
property,
so
I
I
just
don't
see
where
there's
any
any
pitfall
in
there.
So
anyone
who
wants
to
you
know
come
and
put
put
something
an
improvement
on
your
property
and
they
said
I'll
pay
for
it.
Just
let
me
play
ball
in
your
driveway,
a
couple
of
nights
a
week,
you're
not
losing
anything.
C
The
improvement
belongs
to
you
so
and-
and
I
don't
think
we
should
you
know
if
there's
problems
on
the
other
side
of
the
city,
then
there
may
be
other
remedies
for
us.
I
mean
I
don't
see
why
we
couldn't
do
the
same
thing
in
any
ballparks
on
the
other
side
of
the
city.
C
I
just
don't
see
where
denying
kids
you
know
the
ability
to
play
at
night.
I
mean
I
remember
coaching
and
you
know
it
gets
dark
at
certain
times
of
the
year,
it's
dark
early
and
you
can't
get
in
the
the
the
last
few
innings
of
a
game
and
where
there
are
a
lot
more
kids
playing
ball
and
a
lot
more
girls
playing
baseball
softball
today
than
they're
ever
than
ever.
So
I
think
we
we,
you
know,
we
certainly
get
the
we
get
it
back
in
many
ways.
A
J
J
I
coach
kids
from
all
over
the
city
on
my
clcf
team.
Joining
a
league
is
about
preference.
I
happen
to
join
clcf
because
at
the
time
I
knew
the
president.
I
also
know
the
president
of
cranston
western
little
league.
I
know
there
are
children
that
go
to
school
with
my
son
that
happen
to
play
in
aponog,
because
their
parents
know
the
head
the
head
guy
at
epenog.
It's
about
preference,
it's
not
about
what
war
the
league
the
field
is
in:
it's
not
about
low
income
versus
high
income,
it's
about
preference
and
as
a
point.
J
There
are
kids
who
can't
afford
it
that
they
make
sure
they
either
get
them
on
payment
plans
or
wipe
it
out
completely.
These
are
good
organizations.
These
are
positive
organizations.
I
agree
with
councilman
for
vecchio.
Literally
it's
941
dollars
a
month
for
10
years.
That's
the
loan
agreement.
They
agree
to
pay
it.
We
agree
to
take
it
at
no
interest.
J
G
Number
one
for
the
record:
the
city
didn't
buy
the
lights.
The
little
league
did,
I
guess.
Okay,
it
literally
did
number
one
number.
Two
little
league
is
a
national
organization
and
each
literally
has
a
chartered
territory
where
you're
supposed
to
be
living
within
certain
boundaries
to
play.
For
that
specific
league
number
three
in
the
fall.
G
Okay,
so
the
fact
that
you're,
accusing
one
part
of
the
city
to
to
have
it
all
and
discriminate
against
underprivileged
kids
is
bold,
councilman,
bull,
okay
and
then
to
say
well
that
just
gives
time
for
the
parents
to
do
stuff.
But
you
know
what,
by
me
being
a
parent
and
having
my
kids
do
stuff.
I
didn't
have
any
drug
issues.
I
didn't
have
any
police
issues.
I
didn't
have
any
other
issues
that
could
be
happening,
so
I
rather
have
kids
on
the
field.
I
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
threw
the
chair
to
councilman
stykos.
That
has
to
be
the
most
irresponsible
thing.
I've
ever
heard.
You
say
no
offense
a
kid
name,
a
kid
that
was
ever
denied
a
chance
to
play
ball
by
eddie
little
league.
I
need
names
because
if
I
find
that
out,
that's
wrong,
my
dad
took
money
out
of
his
pocket
to
make
sure
kids
played
my
dad,
ordered
special
helmets
for
kids,
who
had
big
squashes
that
couldn't
fit
with
their
helmet.
I
I
So
I
need
you
to
name
names,
because
if
I
find
out
that
happened
I'll
be
on
the
phone
to
williamsport
to
make
sure
that
doesn't
happen
again.
No
kid,
as
I
don't
think,
has
ever
been
turned
away.
I
just
checked
with
the
president
of
cranston
west
in
little
league.
He
said
emphatically,
no
no
one's
ever
been
turned
away.
L
L
But
fine
read
it
back.
What
I'm
saying
is
that
there
are
a
lot
of
kids
in
this
city
who
don't
participate
in
those
leagues,
not
because
the
leagues
turn
them
down
all
right.
That's
I
I
didn't
say
that
and
if
I
did,
I
was
wrong
all
right,
but
I
didn't
say
it.
What
I
said
was
those
kids
don't
participate
and
we
ought
to
as
a
city,
not
the
leagues,
but
as
a
city
we
ought
to
be
making
efforts
to
get
those
kids
involved
in
sports,
but
instead
in-
and
we
don't
do
that
all
right
now.
L
If
a
kid
shows
up
and
they
don't
have
the
money,
I
completely
accept
the
fact
that
the
leagues
make
efforts
very
credible
and
not
credible,
but
I
can't
think
of
the
word,
but
they
ought
to
be
congratulated
for
doing
it
to
have
that
kid
play,
but
there's
a
whole
group
of
kids
out
there.
They
can't
get
a
ride
after
school
to
go
to
practice
because
they're,
both
their
parents
are
working.
That's
a
problem
all
right.
They
don't
know.
L
Know
that
they
can
go
to
the
league
and
ask
for
a
waiver
of
fees,
they
don't
know
that,
so
they
don't
go
and
ask
or
they're
embarrassed
to
ask,
because
that's
that's
an
embarrassment
and
the
the
solution
to
that.
I
don't
have
the
solution
to
that
problem,
and
what
I
was
saying
is
that
that
ought
to
be
a
focus
of
the
recreation
department
and
instead
the
focus
is.
L
L
N
You,
council
president,
I'm
very
torn
on
this
issue
because
it
was
the
cranston
west
babe
ruth
league,
that
you
know
that
may
come
to
adulthood,
and
I
played
a
lot
of
baseball
in
my
my
life,
but
I
support
this
committee
in
committee,
but
I
can't
support
now
on
the
floor
for
two
reasons.
N
First
reason
is:
I
would
like
to
see
the
loan
written
and
at
least
read
the
loan
before
I
vote
on
approving
and
113
thousand
dollar
loan,
and
the
second
reason
is:
I'm
really
annoyed
not
absolutely
annoyed
that
the
fact
that
councilman
steichos
enlightened
me
that
they
already
have
a
field
with
lights
in
that
section
of
the
city
when
the
eastern
part
of
the
city
is
still
waiting
for
their
little
league
fields
to
get
light
so
based
on
those
two
reasons,
I'm
not
going
to
support
this
bill.
Thank
you.
F
You
president,
I
decided
to
vote
in
favor
of
this,
and
the
reason
is
this
is
that
when
we
vote
on
any
kind
of
financial
issues,
whether
it's
bonds
or
whatever
else,
we
have
the
terms
of
the
bond,
for
instance
an
interest
rate
or
whatever
told
to
us,
but
we
don't
have
the
actual
documentation
in
front
of
us.
We've
had
told
us
what
the
loan
agreement
is.
It's
a
10-year
loan
there's
no
interest
on
it,
they're
paying
was
it
yearly?
I
think
it
was
so
it's
you
know
again.
F
I
think
we
know
what
the
loan
agreement
is
going
to
be,
so
I
will
be
voting
in
favor
of
this.
I
think
it
is
a
good
idea
that
tournament
that
they
have
every
year
that
draws
teams
from
all
over
the
east
coast
is
an
economic
generator.
They
do
have
scheduling
requirements
that
a
lot
you
know
make
it
a
tight
schedule.
F
If
there
are
rainouts,
if
they're,
whatever,
then
they're,
really
pressed
for
getting
games
and
lights
can
only
help
and
who
knows,
that's
the
910
tournament,
maybe
some
years
down
the
road
we
land,
the
even
bigger
one,
which
is
the
11
12s,
and
maybe
this
turns
into
a
regional
tournament
before
it
goes
to
williamsport
so
again,
anything
that
we
can
do
to
improve
this
facility
and
again
it
is
city-owned
property.
I
think
it
is
a
benefit.
So
again
I
will
be
voting
in
favor.
J
One
of
the
benefit
of
giving
the
organization
a
loan
as
opposed
to
making
them
pay
up
front
for
these
likes
is
amortizing.
It
over
ten
years
will
be
less
of
an
impact
on
the
members
of
that
league.
Not
cause
league
fees
to
go
up
to
cover
the
hundred
thousand
dollars
or
have
to
reach
into
endowment.
So
they
will
have
additional
funds
to
make
sure
they
can
continue
to
upkeep
the
fields.
Paint
stripe,
fix
the
fences
and
do
the
things
to
keep
our
property
looking
excellent.
J
N
I
just
like
clarification,
president,
through

Just
a
reminder:
when
we
vote
on
contracts,
we
do
the
same
thing
with
the
resolution,
and
the
money
is
not
spent
might
be
a
little
bit
different.
You
know
we're
not
getting
any
equity
when
we're
voting
on
a
resolution
for
a
contract.
Here
we
own
the
fields
and
we're
getting
improvements.
So
when
we
vote
on
this,
even
though
there
might
not
be
a
loan
agreement,
it's
subject
to
it's
basically
the
same
principle.
A
Gentlemen,
you
know
it's
a
worthy
cause.
I
wish
there
were
more
little
league
fields
in
other
parts
of
the
city
and
I
wish
there
were
more
little
league
teams
in
other
parts
of
the
city
also,
but
it's
a
worthy
cause.
It
improves
the
field,
it
really
doesn't
cost
the
city
anything
it's
bond,
money
that
we
can't
charge
interest
on
and
we're
going
to
get
it
back
in
10
years.
F
G
L
Okay,
the
next
next
item
that
was
approved
by
the
finance
committee
is
a
resolution
loan
order
authorizing
the
issuance
says
of
certificates
of
participation.
This
is
the
same
issue
as
the
last
vote
doesn't
matter
is.
G

A

A
L
The
final
item
that
was
recommended
by
the
finance
committee
is
a
tax
incentive
for
wjs
llc
and
bloom
shapiro,
which
is
an
accounting
firm
that
has
purchased

former

C
You,
council,
president
I'll,
try
to
be
brief.
We
we
discussed
this
at
length
at
the
finance
meeting.
I
think
it's
a
really
good
project.
It's
an
example
of
what
the
mr
deboney's
office
does
the
economic
development
office
and
miss
la
presti,
but
this
this
is
certainly
a
boost
to
the
city.
80
employees
immediately
another
20,
potentially
all
high
paying
jobs,
and
you
know
renovation
of
a
building.
That's
really
not
even
on
the
main
drag
it's
not
even
on
park
avenue
it's
off
park
avenue.

A
U
50

street,
actually
248
chestnut
hill,
road,
wakefield,
rhode,
island.
G
Sir,
can
you
just
answer
one
question.
I
know
we
went
back
and
forth
you're,
not
an
accounting,
firm
you're,
like
a
consulting
company,
and
you
have
other
business
entities
right.
We're.
U
We
do
a
little
recruiting,
but
not
a
lot.
I
wouldn't
say
that's
a
major
focus.
U
Around
client,
our
location
doesn't
matter
to
our
clients.
Okay,
you
know
we
go
to
them.
Some
of
them
come
to
us.
You
know
we
have
conferences
and
whatnot
and
provide
services
for
them,
but
you
know
it
doesn't
matter
if
we're
located
in
cranston.
It's
a
matter
of
you
know
what
our
talents
are
and
we're
not.
You
know
it's
not
a
drive-by
drop,
your
tax
return,
personal
tax
shop,
it's
service
corporations.
G
Could
you
answer
what
portion
of
your
business
how
your
business
is
segregated
as
far
as
what
percentage
of
what
do
you
have
like
a
general
idea?
Not
really
I
mean
it's
not
50
percent
of
county
50
operations
is
it.
You
know
pretty
even
divided
along
the.
J
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
don't
have
any
questions
for
you
guys,
but
I
do
want
to
thank
the
economic
development
office.
I
don't
think
they
get
enough
thanks
for
bringing
in
these
businesses
working
for
them
vetting
them
to
mr
demoni
and
mrs
lapressi.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
work
that
you've
done
for
the
last
several
years.
Having
worked
for
a
center
for
a
couple
years,
I
know
exactly
what
consultants
do
where
I
was
living
or
working
made,
no
difference
to
my
clients
in
california
or
oklahoma
or
wyoming.
J
You
know,
prior
to
this,
I
carried
a
bag
for
a
long
time,
so
I
think
those
are
80
to
100
fantastic
jobs,
the
city
of
cranston,
sorely
needs,
and
those
are
the
type
of
jobs
we
want
to
see
continue
to
come
back
in
the
city.
So
thank
you.
I
think
this
is
a
very
small
investment
in
the
future:
employability
and
use
of
land
and
use
of
buildings
in
our
city.
So
again,
thank
you
for
choosing
cranston
as
your
home.
F
You,
council
president,
I
I
too
want
to
thank
the
economic
development
department,
this
great
great
job
again
and
as
a
councilman
for
the
award
that
you're
building
hopefully
gets
the
incentives
for
welcome
to
cranston.
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
great
feather
in
the
cap
for
the
city
to
have
these
kind
of
jobs
coming
in.
So
I
will
be
voting
in
favor
of
this.
Thank
you.
L
Yeah
I'll
be
opposing
this,
as
I
mentioned
the
committee,
because
I
don't
think
we
should
be
subsidizing
this
company
to
the
when
we
don't
subsidize
other
companies-
and
I
think
that's
a
major
problem
with
our
economic
development
program,
whether
it's
a
yoga
studio
or
a
restaurant
or
a
accounting
consulting
firm.
We
should
not
be.
N
Thank
you,
councilman
laney
I'll
be
supporting
this
legislation.
I
think
we
need
to
have
grants
to
be
business
friendly
and
we
welcome
businesses,
especially
businesses
that
are
going
to
create
new
jobs
for
employees
and
I'm
sure
that
most
of
you,
you
know
at
lunch
time
and
during
the
day
your
employees
will
go
out
to
the
city
and
pick
up
things
spend
money
at
cvs
and
local
restaurants.
So
I
think
this
is
a
good
thing
and
hopefully
grants
can
encourage
more
businesses
to
come
here.
Thank
you.
Good
luck,.
A
Any
other
discussion
concerning
this
I'll
make
a
quick
comment.
I
said
earlier
at
the
finance
committee
meeting:
congratulations,
thank
you
for
coming
to
cranston
and
we
really
appreciate
your
business.

A
All
undocketed
public
hearing
is
now
closed.
Election
of
city
officials,
arts,
commission,
councilman,
stykos.
L
We
did
have
a
meeting
with
about
23
24
people,
councilman,
pablo
lauska's,
councilman
lanny,
and
I
attended,
along
with
randall
rosenbaum
who's,
the
executive
director
of
the
rhode
island
council
for
the
arts.
He
ran
most
of
the
meeting
and
he
encouraged
people
to
volunteer
to
serve
on
the
commission.
L
L
They
were
all
told
that
to
send
a
resume
to
either
councilman
lanny
or
me,
and
that
we
would
get
the
the
commission
going.
The
mayor
has
two
appointments
and
the
council
has
seven.
L
L
So
at
that
point
some
resumes
came
in
and
what
I
would
like
to
recommend
is
that
we
approve
the
kevin
flynn,
jessica,
rosner
and
paul
carpentier
to
be
on
the
commission
and
that
we
hold
off
on
the
the
other
people.
And
let
me
just
explain
why
councilman
pablowskis
has
nominated
paul
carpentier,
who
was
an
art
teacher
at
cranston
east.
L
I
am
recommending
kevin
flynn
who's,
the
former
planning
director
and
I
who
I
spoke
with
and
he
said
he
would
serve
and
send
in
a
resume
thinking
that
he
knows
he
knows
all
the
people
who
could
could
agree
with
grants
and
he
kind
of
knows
the
system
and
then
jessica,
rosner
both
attended
the
meeting
and
sent
in
a
resume
and
said
that
she
wanted
to
be
a
member
at
the
at
the
at.
L
Now
the
other
people
on
the
that
are
listed
there
below
some
of
them
at
the
meeting
said
that
they
would
be
on
the
commission
and
my
concern
with
and
but
they
haven't
sent
in
a
resume
and
my
concern
with
them
was
that
they
left
the
meeting
thinking
that
they
were
on
the
commission,
because
we
didn't
have
nine
nominees
at
the
meeting.
Nine
people
didn't
say
at
the
meeting
that
they
they
wanted
to
do
it.
L
L
I
asked
randy
rosenblaum
from
the
state
council
of
the
arts
to
contact
them
and
see
if
they
still
wanted
to
be
on
the
commission,
and
he
said
he
would,
but
he
was
at
a
conference
in
montana
last
week
and
he
hasn't
gotten
back
to
me
so
cabral
collinson,
flores
and
mancini,
who
are
all
really
pretty
connected
in
the
in
the
arts
world
and,
I
think,
would
be
good
nominees
and
said
they
would
serve
on
the
commission.
I'm
not
sure
where
they
stand
now.
Just
to
give
you
examples,
I
mean
len,
cabral
is
a
storyteller.
L
L
She
attended
the
the
meeting
did
not
say
she
wanted
to
be
on
the
commission,
but
then
sent
in
a
resume
saying
that
she
did,
which
is
fine,
miriam
perry
sent
in
a
I
did
not
attended.
The
meeting
did
not
say
she
wanted
to
be
on
the
commission,
but
then
sent
in
a
resume
with
saying
you
know
if
I
can
serve
and
help
out.
That
would
be
be
great
and
lynn.
L
L
So
what
does
all
that
mean?
That's?
I
would
recommend
again
these
these
three
names
be
approved
and
that
we
then
take
a
little
time
to
sort
out
the
rest
and
we
sort
out
the
issue
of
do.
We
think
we
should
allow
a
non-resident
of
cranston
to
serve
on
the
arts.
Commission.
L
We
can
do
that
at
the
or
at
the
ordinance
or
finance
committee
meeting
this
month
we
find
out
from
cabral
collinson,
flores
and
mancini
if
they
really
do
want
to
serve,
and
then
we
can
make
the
balance
of
the
appointments,
which
will
be
four
spots.
L
J
Thank
you,
council
president.
I'm
inclined
to
agree
with
councilman
cycles
for
a
different
reason.
Usually,
when
I
see
appointments,
they
usually
have
a
sponsor.
J
So
since
I
have
two
colleagues
that
are
suggesting
three
people,
I'm
gonna,
you
know
I've
read
their
resumes.
I
think
they're
all
qualified,
I'm
gonna
vote
on
the
affirmative
on
those
three
people,
the
rest
of
the
people,
because
no
one
is
really
sponsoring
them
and
they've
all
put
in
that
they
want
to
be
on
the
committee
that
which
I
think
is
a
great
problem
to
have
a
lot
of
people
want
to
be
on
this
committee.
J
I
Council
president,
just
to
get
through
my
confusion
here,
michelle
aguiar
has
a
resume.
Len
cabral
does
not
have
a
resume
lynn.
Collinson
does
not
have
a
resume
rebecca
flores
does
not
have
a
resume
south
medicine
does
not
have
a
resume
miriam
r
perry
has
a
resume,
and
lynn
prodiger
has
a
resume.
I
A
Don't
use
my
terminology
tell
us
some
of
the
seat
up.
G
To
get
this,
I
mean
we
haven't
had
this
in
a
while:
let's
go
ahead
and
do
it,
but
I
would
vote
on
the
ones
that
we
have
the
resumes
for,
and
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
with
them,
since
they
were
at
the
meetings
and
whatever
and
then
later
on.
If
you
have
other
people,
you
know
have
another
meeting,
have
some
resumes
or
change
it,
so
we
can
put
another
four
or
five
people
on
there
and
move
on
with
it.
G
N
Thank
you,
council
president,
because
I
have
a
request
that
I
would
like
to
vote
on
each
person
individually
based
upon
their
merits
and
based
upon
a
resume.
So
I
concur
council,
santa
maria.
We
should
only
take
candidates
that
have
submitted
resumes.
It's
only
fair.
C
You
president,
I
have
a
question
through
the
chair
of
the
sponsor.
Did
you
say
steve
the
mayor's
two
appointments
are
not
those
are
separate
from
the
other
people
at
the
top,
okay,
so,
and
how
many
total
in
total?
Can
we
point
currently.
C
We
and
you
have
what
two
or
three
in
excess
of
the
r7
is,
that.
L
Well,
we
have
one
two,
three,
four,
five,
six,
seven,
eight
nine
ten
well
eleven
eleven
for
seven
slots.
If
you
count
the
woman,
so
we
have
the
artist's
exchange
woman.
C
We
could
I
mean
we
could
increase
it.
I
guess
if
we
had
to,
although
if
you,
if
you
schedule
a
lot
of
meetings,
maybe
some
will
drop
out
because
give
them
the
schedule
like
in
the
finance
meetings,
and
they
might
some
of
them
may
bow
out,
but
whatever
you
know,
whatever
the
majority
wants
to
do.
It's
fine.
I
A
question
the
mayor's
two
appointments,
don't
have
resumes,
but
they
got
a
letter
from
the
mayor
already
putting
them
on.
What
are
you
gonna
do
with
those
two?
No,
they
don't
have
a
resume.
They.
I
A
T
The
mayor,
the
mayor's
appointments
they
did
provide,
resumes
and
the
the
ordinance
also
requests,
I'm
not
sure
the
number,
but
some
of
the
members
of
this
council,
the
ox
council,
have
to
have
a
degree
in
the
arts.
T
I
asked
the
clerk
when
I
provided
the
letter
of
appointment
if
she
wanted
copies
of
the
resume
and
her
response
was
no
because
it's
informational
only
if
you
need
the
resumes
which
you
shouldn't,
they.
T
That
joe
aggressed
his
way,
pardon
me
joseph
agresti's
wife,
I'm
not
sure
no.

Q
However,
ms
mourinho
has
been
unresponsive
to
me
trying
to
obtain
update
on
the
legal
bills
I
emailed
her
last
week
and
also
had
a
phone
call
into
her,
but
without
reply,
my
recommendation
would
be
me
to
go
into
the
department
sometime
within
the
next
month
report
back
to
you
at
the
next
council
meeting.
This
way
I
won't
have
to
disturb
her.
N
Q
From
the
last
time,
which
was
in
march,
as
you
know,
is
kind
of
a
range
of
two
scenarios,
the
lowest
number
that
I
had
reported
without
any
state
police
costs
would
have
been
four
million.
Q
Four
hundred
forty
one
thousand
dollars
rounded
four
million
four
hundred
and
forty
four
four
four
four
one
rounded
nearest
thousand
okay
and
then
we
had
plus
state
police,
but
some
people
don't
want
to
see
that
in
this
report
and
then
up
to
a
range
of
six
million
one
zero,
zero
without
state
police,
but
that
excludes
any
potential
additional
costs.
Regarding
the
police,
captain
patrolman
sergeant,
josephson
captain
gilbeau's
demand
and
associate
in
legal
costs.
Q
The
demands
that
josephson
is
822
thousand
gilboa
is
1
million
250,
but
solicitor
rawson
will
probably
be
the
first
to
say.
Q
A
A
A
Responsibility
tomorrow
morning,
contact
miss
moreno
and
I'll
go
down
there
with
you
and
you'll
do
an
order
of
that.
The
legal
fees.
I
don't
want
any
delays
on
this.
It's
too
important.
C
Thank
you.
Council
president.
Through
the
chair
to
the
auditor,
I
have
a
question
if
I
were
to
take
a
deduction
on
my
tax
return
for
a
a
bill
that
I
never
received,
and
I
never
wrote
a
check
for
how
well
would
that
go
with
the
irs.
C
Q
Yes,
the
the
charge
I
had
was
to
quantify
the
costs
involving
the
issues
addressed
in
the
state
police
report
in
their
in
their
investigation.
Those
costs
was
not
saying
that
cost
the
taxpayers
the
city
of
cranston
directly.
It
was
what
were
the
costs,
so
those
would
be
considered
some
of
the
costs
for
colonel
o'donnell.
So
this
so
so
it
was
within
the
scope
of
my
responsibility.
Q
But
if
you
want
to
narrow
that
further
to
say
those
that
are
the
city
of
cranston
tax
values
direct
pockets,
it
would
be
without
those
costs
and
that's
why
earlier
I
made
sure
I
gave
you
the
numbers
without
the
state
police
costs.
C
Q
C
Q
Q
That's
why,
with
with
all
due
respect,
I
I
gave
the
number
the
number
I
gave
him:
four
million
4.4
million
excluded
state
police
as
a
courtesy
or
just
not
to
exaggerate
any
cost
surviving
the
state
police.
But
if
there's
an
argument
about
the
state
police
costs,
it
should
be
directed
to
colonel
o'donnell.
I
believe
I'm.
C
Just
a
little
bit,
there's
no
cost
to
us,
so
I
really
don't
care
at
this
point
and
the
same
thing
with
pensions.
Pensions
are
something
that
we're
already
obligated
to
pay.
We've
been
obligated
to
pay
they're
paid
for
by
the
the
city
and
the
employee,
whether
they
retire
at
it
at
one
point
time
or
another.
So
I
don't
understand
why
those
what
your
premise
is
to
even
include
them,
apparently
moody's,
investor
service
and
markham,
the
municipal
auditing
firm.
C
Don't
even
mention
your
concerns,
so
I
I
don't
know
why
we
continue
to
just
go
over
the
same
things.
Q
Not
quite
sure
of
moody's
involvement
in
my
report,
nor
marcum's
involvement
in
it.
So
I
can't
respond
to
that,
but
as
to
the
pensions,
what
it
was
if,
for
example,
colonel
mcgrath
was
still
police
chief,
you
would
not
have
had
two
or
three
police
chiefs
on
retirement,
so
you
have
extra
retirements
that
is
being
quantified
in
these
costs.
Q
If
he
you
would
not
hit
mcgregor
would
have
stopped.
You
would
not
have
a
mcgrath
on
retirement,
you
would
not
have
palumbo
on
retirement.
You
wouldn't
have
some
of
the
other
officers
blackmar
in
the
same
case
kevin
lynch.
Q
So
without
that
disruption
in
terms
of
turnover,
the
city
would
not
be
paying
more
people
on
the
pension
rolls.
So
therefore,
it's
incremental.
C
Q
C
J
Thank
you,
council
president
lanny
yeah.
I
call
mr
moretti
report
and
ready
math.
I
don't
really
like
meredith
math,
I
don't
know,
I
don't
have
a
crystal
ball
in
front
of
me.
That
tells
me
when
people
would
have
retired
or
when
they
wouldn't
have
retired
and
how
much
of
their
pension
they
paid
for
themselves
versus
how
much
of
the
pension
we
ended
up
paying,
for.
J
I
don't
have
any
kind
of
that
reports
that
show
that,
and
I
know
mr
doesn't
have
those
kind
of
reports
either,
but
I
will
remind
him
that
I
know
you're
a
cpa
and
I
know
you
think
we're
not
your
clients,
but
in
actuality
we
are
your
clients,
you
work
for
this
council,
the
whole
council,
so
a
hypothetical
question
asked
by
one
of
its
members
is
not
necessarily
tax
advice.
It's
a
hypothetical
question
through
the
chair
to
the
director
of
finance.
K
I
believe
we've
paid
with
all
the
settlements
legal
bills.
I
believe
it
was
just
under
a
million
dollars
and
that's
already
been
paid
for
it's
already
been
on
our
financial
reports
and
right
now
I
have
nothing
that's
to
be
paid
at
this
point.
L
I
just
I'd
just
like
to
say
that
this
attitude
that
the
pension
doesn't
cost
anything
we
just
sort
of
make
people
disappear
onto
the
pension
rolls
and
we
can
forget
about
them
and
handle
very
bad
behavior
by
giving
people
severance
pay
and
pensions,
there's
a
cost
to
that
a
big
cost,
and
I'm
glad
that
the
report
includes
that,
and
I
certainly
think
that
what
the
mayor
did,
particularly
with
chief
palumbo,
putting
him
on
administrative
leave
and
then
allowing
him
to
retire
when
he
accumulated
his
another
year's
service,
rather
than
firing
him
outright
that
there
was
a
cost
to
that,
and
there
was
a
cost
of
putting
mr
patalano
on
administrative
leave
for
two
years
now
there
there's
an
argument
that
oh,
we
would
have
paid
mr
padalano
anyway,
if
he
had
been
working
well,
we
don't
pay
people
not
to
work
generally.
L
G
No,
that
was
me
I
I
just
want
to
add
that
I
mean
if
we
look
at
the
legal
costs
here,
there's
twenty
seven
thousand
dollars
one
line,
and
I
believe
thirty,
one
or
thirty
three
thousand
are
not
aligned
that
are
directly
related
to
it.
G
So,
whether
we're
arguing
on
how
much
money
it
is,
or
it
isn't,
even
that
fifty
or
sixty
thousand
dollars
that
we're
spending
you
know
on
legal
fees
here
is
something
that
we,
you
know
shouldn't
be
paying
and
using
it
towards
something
else,
like
maybe
getting
lights
on
the
other
side
of
the
city.
If
you
will
so
there
are
costs,
I
I
you
know
there
was
cost
for
severance
pay.
G
You
know
and
comp
time
and
there
was
cost
of
vacation
pay,
so
I
mean
I'm
guessing
that
stuff
was
budgeted
for,
but
you
know
whether
it's
the
right
number
or
the
wrong
number.
I
think
we
all
should
be
able
to
agree
that
there
are
some
costs
and,
and
that
and
that's
it-
I
mean
whether
we
believe
mr
moretti
or
we
believe
whatever
there
are
costs
there.
But
you
know
nobody
said
it.
That's
there's
no
cost.
F
I
can
council
president
I'll
proceed
to
beat
the
horse
some
more
yes,
I
don't
think
we
argue
that
there's
no
costs
involved
and
I
think
we've
all
been
pretty
consistent
in
our
statements.
We
don't
believe
the
cost
has
been
nine
million,
eight
million
seven
million.
On
our
side.
F
We
believe
what
the
director
of
finance
said
is
a
million
and
maybe
some
more
costs
to
come,
but
I
don't
think
it
costs
anywhere
near
that
as
far
as
colonel
palumbo,
I'm
sure,
if
he
got
fired,
I'm
sure
there'd
be
costs
involved
with
him
suing
the
city
for
wrongful
termination.
F
F
So
there
are
costs
involved,
no
matter
what
you
do
and
I
think
the
problem
is
you
try
and
minimize
the
cost
as
much
as
you
can
they're
entitled
to
their
pension.
You
could
murder
someone
and
you
still
get
your
pension
right
retire.
You
know
a
policeman
from
providence
murders,
a
firefighter
he
still
gets
his
widow
or
whatever
or
whatever
his
wife
still
gets
his
pension.
So
you
know
what
the
pension
laws
are
ridiculous
and
I
don't
think
we
can
argue
that
so
yes,
the
pensions
are
a
built-in
cost.
F
No
matter
what
you
do,
I
think
the
one
stipulation
was
embezzlement
from
the
city
and
that's
it
so
you
know
again.
To
be
honest,
I
don't
even
know
why
this
is
still
on
the
council
docket.
I
think
it's
beating
a
dead
horse
and,
frankly,
I
know
my
constituents
are
sick
of
hearing
about
it
and
they
want
to
move
on.
You
know
everyone's
tuned,
this
out,
it's
white
noise.
Now,
let's
move
on
and
let's
get
on
with
the
council
business.
J
J
J
J
When
this
started
we're
going
to
continue
every
month
to
say
it's,
nine
9.91
million
nine
point,
nine,
two
million
nine
point:
nine
three
million.
We
get
it.
You
have
a
number,
that's
nine
million.
We
say
it's
something
like
two
million
the
number's
wrong,
it's
terrible,
but
to
continue
to
bring
this
up
every
month
for
updates.
A
Anybody
else
I'll
say
the
last
words
here
and
I'm
going
to
use
captain
padalano.
As
an
example,
captain
patelano
stayed
home
for
two
years
collected
approximately
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
while
he
was
home.
Somebody
had
to
cover
his
job
for
two
years
and
somebody
had
to
cover
the
person
who's
covered
his
job
for
two
years,
so
he
got
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
he
settled
out
of
court
with
three
hundred
thousand
dollars.
That's
half
a
million
dollars.
A
A
Deny
your
point
of
personal
privilege
now.
Let
me
finish
as
far
as
there's
an
ongoing
thing.
Beating
your
horse
to
death,
bull
people
want
to
know
they
want
to
know.
What's
going
on,
maybe
one
party
doesn't
want
anybody
to
know
what's
going
on,
and
the
other
party
wants
everybody
to
know
what's
going
on,
of
course,
are.
E
A
And
they're
going
to
be,
and
and
the
simple
fact
that
mr
moretti
can't
get
in
to
find
the
legal
cost
in
this
city
because
nobody's
available,
including
mr
strom,
tells,
and
that's
not
his
job.
Excuse
me:
it's
not
his
job,
it's
miss
san
marina's
job
and
she
would.
She
will
he'll
get
that
information
and
he's
going
to
put
it
in
next
month's
report.
A
J
J
J
Every
month,
we're
gonna
continue
to
have
legal
bills.
We're
gonna
because
we're
fighting
pending
cases,
they're
gonna,
cost
five
to
ten
thousand
a
month
every
month
and
that's
uncalled
for,
but
we're
fighting
legal
cases.
So,
if
you'd
like
to
keep
bringing
us
up
every
month,
we
can
keep
going
through
these
motions.
I'm
fine
with.
K
When
mr
beretti
needs
to
look
up
the
legal
bills,
my
suggestion
to
him
was,
he
should
go
to
the
legal
department.
I
shouldn't
have
to
be
the
one
that's
doing
that
work,
you're,
asking
him
to
pursue
and
find
out
what
the
legal
bills
are.
That's
fine,
but
I
shouldn't
be
the
one
to
be
the
intermediary
for
all
bills
that
relate
to
this
police
case.
K
I
personally
don't
pay
all
the
bills.
The
bills
come
from
the
law
department
to
be
paid.
They
don't
come
through
me
directly
now.
Can
I
get
that
information?
I'd
have
to
stop
what
I'm
doing
to
go
to
auditing
to
find
out
what
was
paid.
It's
much
easier
if
you're
looking
for
legal
bills
which,
by
the
way,
is
in
the
report
every
month
that
no
one
even
looks
at,
but
if
someone
would
look
at
it,
they
would
find
the
increases
from
month
to
month.
K
But
my
point
is
that
he
should
go
to
speak
to
the
legal
department
and
they
should
provide
him
those
legal
bills.
It
shouldn't
have
to
go
through
me
because
then
I'm
basically
doing
the
same
thing.
I'm
going
to
go
up
to
the
legal
department
check
to
see
what
they
have.
Maybe
that
hasn't
been
paid
yet
and
compare
it
to
what
has
been
paid.
A
M
The
report
on
hiring
of
special
counsel
consultants
etc
has
been
distributed
to
the
council
as
it
is
every
month
along
those
lines,
I
will
inform
mr
moretti
and
the
council
president.
Any
requests
for
information
coming
from
mr
moretti
should
be
directed
to
me
from
now
on.
I'm
not
going
to
put
our
legal
department
under
the
gun
of
doing
analysis
within
a
day
or
two
before
a
council
meeting.
I
Yes,
yes,
executive
communications
on
council.
I
had
a
few
questions
on
the
monthly
legal
bill.
I
Ask
him
if
I
may
sure
could
I
have
mr
I'd
like
to
ask
mr
rawson,
because
I'm
I
have
a
few
questions:
the
bill
from
adler,
pollock
and
sheehan
yep
in
the
bill
from
blish
and
kavanaugh
right.
M
I
B
And
john
tarantino
represents
colonel
palumbo
personally
and
bliss
and
kavanaugh
represents
the
city
of
cranston
and
the
city
council.
I
B
That
the
acl
lawsuit
is
the
us
supreme
court
about
two
months
ago
decided
on
the
issue
of
one
person,
one
vote.
I
believe
it
was
in
texas
and
it
had
to
do
with
who
can
vote
and
they
ruled
that
the
census
does
rule
out
which
helps
our
case
by
the
way.
Remember
our
case
is
based
on
the
prisoners,
so
the
u.s
supreme
court
actually
helped
our
position
so
partridge,
snow
and
han
that
10
000
represents.
B
B
B
Yes,
there
were
a
couple
times
during
the
past
year
that
we
had
to
ask
attorney
augusta
for
some
information
related
to
files
that
he
used
to
work
for
us.
Did
that.
E
B
I
B
Oh
you
know
what
that's
when
the
auditor
comes
in
mr
councilman
brave,
actually,
what's
the
moon
when
markham
has
to
get
a
letter
from
all
attorneys
as
to
the
status
of
their
cases,
so
I
believe
that
was
the
preparation.
B
Well,
if
we
contact
a
lawyer
for
a
certain
reason,
he
had
sent
us
a
bill
in
response,
but
you
know
maybe
I
will
stipulate
to
the
fact
you're
in
the
wrong
business.
Yes,.
I
Yeah,
I
think
that
probably
we
should
get
a
second
on
that
and
then
lastly,
general
question:
where
are
we
on
the
guild
wall
case?
Well,
I
can
see
this
going
on
a
very
slippery
slope
of
spending.
A
lot
of
money.
B
I
I'm
asking
general
questions:
what
are
the
legal
fees
for
currently
here?
One
six
to
four
twenty
seven.
B
B
Yeah
for
the
year,
I
don't
have
the
exact
total
number
for
guild
ball,
but
at
this
point
there
are
no
depositions
at
this
point.
All
we've.
Actually,
the
only
thing
that's
happened
in
the
last
few
months
is
there's
been
a
demand
letter
which
has
been
made
part
of
the
audit
report,
but
that
was
just
a
letter
from
her
attorney.
There's
been
no
discovery,
there's
been
no
deposition,
so
you
know
you're
going
to
have
to
address
that
with
attorney
brazier.
At
some
point.
I
And
then,
if
I
just
did
the
last
one,
the
stephen
robinson
up
to
70
thousand
dollars.
B
B
Well,
the
team
you
know
again,
I
think
director
administration
can
speak
more
to
that,
but
there
is
some
still
pending
negotiations
as
well
as
those
grievances
and
arbitration.
So,
to
be
honest
with
you,
that's
towards
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year
and
it's
you
know
it's
about
70
000..
If
you
compare
that
to
the
year
before
with
other
labor
council,
I
think
that's
actually
much
less
than
the
previous
fiscal
year.
I
B
I
G
B
Well,
she
filed
in
state
court
and
state
court
does
not
keep
the
reins
in
a
federal
court
case.
Well,
there's
an
actually
fast
track
in
federal
court.
She
it
can
linger
in
state
court
for
a
while
and
ultimately
it's
her
case,
she's
the
plaintiff
years
months
years
years
years,
and
it's
up
to
her
it's
her
burden.
It's
her
to
move
forward.
B
V
Ken
mason,
director
of
public
works
payroll
road
does
not
fall
under
the
state
department
of
transportation
safety
improvements
project
that
we
have
ongoing
with
them.
As
you
recall,
there
was
a
330
thousand
dollar
grant
that
the
city
secured
through
d.o.t
and
we're
proceeding
with
d.o.t
on
on
preliminary
and
and
final
designs,
and
we've
got
five
locations
in
the
city
that
we
are
working
with
them
for
safety
improvements.
G
To
do
you
want
me
to
listen
to
what
we're
doing
on
pepper
road
director
as
far
as
the
complaints
of
speeding
going
down
to
comstock,
do
you
have
any
recommendations
for
either
changing
the
speed
limit
to
15
miles
an
hour,
speed,
bumps
signs,
bump
outs,
anything
that
that's
my
question.
I
I
I'm
glad
the
rest
of
the
city
is
getting
the
money
for
the
rover
improvements,
but
I'm
concerned
with
peverell
road.
V
We
have
no
plans
right
now
for
peverell
road.
We
did
have
an
estimate
drawn
up
and
some
plans,
preliminary
plans
growing
up
for
bump
outs,
but
it's
a
significant
cost
and
we
didn't
proceed.
G
A
Okay,
council
president
communications,
christian,
historical
cemeteries,
commission
we're
appointing
colleen
colin
pochrust
for
that
commission
there's
an
opening
there.
A
A
A
A
A
L
T
Do
the
historic
marker?
First,
we
received
the
check
today
for
15
000,
and
I
have
a
meeting
set
up
with
ed
garcia,
to
kind
of
do
an
exploratory
meeting
as
to
exploratory
as
to
see
where
these
markers
will
be
placed.
L
L
T
E
L
Okay,
thank
you
and
we've
already
talked
about
the
arts
council.
So
that's
you're.
Welcome!
That's
all
I
had.
N
N
T
We
have
in
what
way
we
determined
that
that
property
is
owned
by
cranston
housing,
okay
and
we
reached
out
to
them,
told
them
that
they
need
to
clean
it
right
and
they
need
to
repair
the
fence.
Okay
next,
and
I
also
responded
back
to
the
senator.
Thank
you
next.
N
Item
is,
I
have
tall
grass
38
barry
street,
but
it
actually
isn't
38
parishes
next
door
and
the
next
door
house
has
no
number
so
that
that's
why
you
need
to
realize
that
okay,
you
said
you
were
going
to
work
on
that
right.
N
N
N
Princess
avenue,
12
grass,
so
that's
three
one
last
item
and
through
the
chair
to
the
administration
I
don't
know
who's
gonna
answer
this,
but
what's
the
status
of
the
rhode
island
mattress
program,
have
we
set
up
dumpsters?
If
so,
where?
What
are
the
hours
for
those
dumpsters?
Could
you
fill
me
in
on
the
rhode
island,
mattress
program.
N
N
V
They
have
to
make
an
appointment
with
the
city
clean
city
coordinator
and
the
hours
of
operation
right
now,
just
thursday
mornings,
from
7
30
to
11
30
in
the
morning
for
dump
for
driving.
N
N
Firm,
so
I
I
really
would
request
the
administration
at
least
expand
those
hours,
maybe
twice
a
week,
maybe
perhaps
a
saturday
morning
with
people
not
working,
I
I
don't
think
you're
giving
the
citizens
an
opportunity
to
get
rid
of
their
own
mattresses.
I
think
I'll
yield
to
councilman
san
maria.
At
this
point.
I
Yeah
I
talked
to
the
director
about
it.
The
director
is
willing
to
sit
down
and
see
if
we
can
expand
the
hours
I
mean
7
to
11
one
day
of
the
week
I
mean
I
can
just
see
one
of
us
saying:
hey
boss,
we're
going
to
be
late
for
work
because
we're
going
to
drop
off
a
mattress,
a
lot
of
people
don't
have
trucks,
I
mean
it.
I
think
it
should
be
at
least
three
days
a
week.
I
I
V
I
Worry
about
the
course,
but
you
just
assume
have
mattresses
all
over
the
city
making
it
look
like
a
third
world
country.
I
mean
we
gotta
to
spend
money.
You
have
to
spend
money
to
solve
a
problem.
You
have
to
spend
money
to
solve
a
problem,
we're
willing
to
put
up
cameras
in
areas
to
stop
people
from
doing
it
there.
Now
we
have
a
a
remedy
and
we're
narrowing
it
down
to
7
to
11
on
one
day
of
the
week.
I
don't
know
just
doesn't
make
sense
to
me.
V
S
V
J
J
I
believe
then,
they're
selling
them
to
these
recyclers
to
make
additional
funds,
because
I
know
when
I
bought
my
mattress
a
month
ago,
cardi's
told
me
the
hallway
fee
was,
I
think,
twelve
dollars
for
the
mattress
and
eight
dollars
for
the
box
spring,
and
they
were
doing
it
at
the
same
time.
They
were
dropping
me.
The
new
mattress.
V
J
And
I
thought
that,
as
of
january,
1st
2017
is
when
the
rule
changes
on
mattresses,
where
they
can
no
longer
put
them
in
in
certain
spots
where
recycling
materials
were
going.
So
that
was
the
big
need
for
this
change
for
us
to
get
ahead
of
it.
I
don't
think
the
need
will
come
yet.
I
think
the
need
will
be
more
in
early
2017
when
the
federal
law
changes.
If
I
remember
the
latest
presentation
correctly,.
N
Thank
you,
president.
Through
the
cheer
to
director
mason,
it
seems
to
me
that
the
administration
is
is
lethargic
towards
this
program,
possibly
because
of
a
lack
of
manpower
and
the
cost
incurred
by
the
city.
N
N
Is
there
something
we
can
put
in
a
newsletter
that
could
be
put
in
the
envelopes
when
we
mail
out
the
taxes
to
notify
the
citizens
that
we
do
have
a
dumpster
it's
at
the
garage?
N
These
are
the
days
of
opportunity,
so
not
only
the
wealthy
individuals
that
have
computers,
but
you
know
the
the
the
people
that
are
not
so
affluent
will
be
able
to
be
notified,
that
this
program
exists
and
the
other
people
want
to
save
the
eighteen
dollars,
the
other
people
that
are
willing
to
utilize.
This.
N
V
Perhaps
the
cranston
herald
might
put
an
ad
in
the
paper,
but
yeah
we
can
look
into
that.
Yes,.
A
A
V
I
J
Counts
from
freno.
Thank
you.
I
do
have
only
a
couple
council
member
communications.
The
only
reason
they're
not
in
the
roster
this
month
is
because
one
happened
on
sunday
morning
and
the
other
one
happened.
This
morning,
two
police
officers
were
killed
in
the
last
48
hours,
one
by
an
active
shooter,
the
other,
by
a
tragic
car
accident.
I
just
wanted
to
give
my
condolences
to
jamestown
police
officer
and
the
auburn
massachusetts
police
officer
that
lost
their
lives
over
the
weekend
and
won
this
morning.
J
I
think
we
talk
a
lot
about
issues
and
we
forget
that
there's
a
true
cost
to
doing
police
work
and
firework
and
and
working
in
those
tough
professions,
and
I
just
want
to
give
my
condolences
to
those
and
thank
all
the
firemen,
the
policemen
and
anyone
who
lays
their
life
on
the
line
every
day
in
cranston
in
the
state
of
rhode,
island
and
the
united
states
of
america
for
what
they
do
for
us.
Thank
you
go
ahead
and
overseas.
A
Councilman
santorio.
I
I
thank
you,
council
president.
I
have
two
items
I
had
the
mattress
dropped
off,
but
councilman
aquido
asked
that
woodridge
and
bud
long
what's
going
on
with
woodridge
road,
which
is
that
small
street
that
was
supposed
to
be
done
last
year
with
the
utility
massacre
and
then
secondly,
bud
long
road.
If
anyone's
driven
down
that
street
in
the
last
few
days,
it's
gonna
have
to
have
a
curb
to
curve
pavement.
We
can't
be
doing
the
half
street
pavement
that
we've
been
doing
or
the
little
squares
that
national
grid
does.
I
V
Woodridge
road,
that's
the
small
road
between
reservoir
and
budlong.
That
will
be
paved
to
curb
curb,
because
that
was
the
permit
that
was
issued
to
national
grid
because
they
cut
into
a
road
that
was
less
than
five
years.
Paved
bud.
Long
will
not
be
paved
curb
to
curb
that
will
be
a
trench
similar
to
what
they're
doing
around
the
city.
Now,
where
they'll
mill,
the
probably
an
eight
foot
lane
where
they've
disturbed
only.
I
I
C
Thank
you
council
president,
a
couple
of
things
you
had
to
follow
up
with
mr
mason
through
the
chair
of
mr
mason
that
so
woodridge
is
going
to
get.
It
failed.
Basically,
the
work
that
the
grid,
the
national.
V
V
Herod
was
actually
curbed,
the
curb
because
they
they
went
into
a
road
that
was
just
paved
less
than
five
years
ago.
The
city
has
a
moratorium,
a
five-year
moratorium
for
for
opening
a
road
up,
and
if
and
if
we
allow
them
to
go
in
before
the
five
years
there
we
require
them
to
go,
curb
the
curb,
but
along
road
was,
I
don't
believe
it
was
seven
years.
I
think
it
was
closer
to
10
to
12
years
that
that
road
was
paved.
C
And
through
the
chair
to
director
barone,
I
have
a
couple
of
quick,
quick
items.
C
Yes,
director,
that's
16
freedom,
next
door
to
16
freedom.
I
don't
I
don't
know.
If
you
I
had
sent
a
follow-up
email.
I
noticed
it
there's
a
pile
of
wood.
I
don't
know
if
there's
anything,
we
can
do
about
it,
but
this
is
a
huge
pile
of
wood
on
an
empty
lot
on
a
lot
right,
close
to
the
street
very
close
to
the
street.
That's
the
biggest
problem
is
kind
of
messy.
I
don't
know
if
if
that
really
can
be
cited
or
whether
anything
can
be
done.
T
C
But
it's
actually
it's
similar
to
councilman
aquido's
issue,
it's
next
door
to
there!
That's
where
this
pile
of
wood
is
and
it's
I
don't
know
whether
it's
part
of
a
there's,
a
house
behind
it.
I
don't
think
the
email
said
that
yeah
I'll
send
you
another
okay,
but
I
wanted
to
ask
you
that
and
we're
still
waiting
on
capuano
for
the
bank.
T
I
G
Can
you
can
you
refer
me
to
a
website
on,
I
guess,
best,
practices
for
repaving
roads
as
far
as,
if
there's
national
standards
someplace,
because
it
just
seems
to
me
as
we're
doing
these
roads
a
quarter
strip
at
a
time
that
it
it
doesn't
make
sense.
G
I
know
we're
getting
ready
to
look
into
the
road,
paving
ordinance
and
the
road
ordinance
again,
but
with
these
utilities,
if
the
number
somebody
gave
us
a
couple
weeks
ago
or
maybe
last
month,
was
that
within
the
next
five
to
ten
years,
50
of
the
roads
will
be
dug
up
because
of
upgrades
and
either
national
grid
for
gas
or
province
water
for
water
lines.
I
mean
this
is
like
complete
chaos.
G
G
V
V
One
case
in
point
is
right:
now,
shar
avenue
in
in
edgewood
is
actually
having
a
new
water
main
installed
and
at
the
same
time,
last
last
year,
at
this
time,
national
grid
replaced
the
gas
main
in
that
road.
We've
we've
coordinated
with
both
national
grid
and
providence
water,
where
both
of
them
are
going
to
be
writing
checks
to
the
city
and
when,
when
the
water
main
work
is
done,
we
plan
on
paving
that
road
in
the
fall.
V
That's
all
for
for
roads
and
and
some
highway
equipment,
yeah.
L
L
R
Director
mason
a
couple
weeks
ago
on
valon
road
like
province,
water
was
going
to
dig
into
a
road
that
was
less
than
a
year
old.
I
know
you
reached
out
to
them
and
it
was
a
permitting
issue.
Have
they
given
you
any
resistance,
or
I
mean
I'm
glad
that
I
caught
them
but
and
you
went
down
to
see
them,
I
think,
but
I
don't
you
know
it's
a
brand
new
road.
V
I
Can
I
follow
up
on
council
paplowski
says
when
councilman
paplowski
has
told
me
about
this.
He
just
happened
to
be
bringing
his
children
to
school
and
noticed
that
they
were
going
to
ready
to
dig
up
and
tell
me
if
I'm
wrong,
I
was
ready
to
bring
up
a
brand
new
street.
He
called
the
administration
and
you
guys
didn't
know
anything
about
it.
I
I
I
I
I
No
okay.
So
where
did
I
go
wrong?
How
is
if
we
were,
if
constant
papillosis
wasn't
there,
they
would
have
dug
up
the
road
correct.
They
were
ready
to
go.
Council
papalos
has
told
me
they
were
ready
to
go
with
a
backhoe.
That's
correct,
you
didn't
know,
that's
correct.
Did
highway
maintenance?
No!
No!
Did
director.
Baron
know
no
okay,
so
it
doesn't
matter
what
road
it
was.
It
was
a
brand
new,
paved
road,
you're,
saying
it's
a
five-year
moratorium.
V
V
I
Okay,
but
by
filing
the
permit
that
that
would
mean
you
know
that
they're
going
to
be
doing
work
there
correct
they
went
there
and
when
you,
when,
when
they
were
asked,
they
said
that
there
was
a
leak
there
correct
and
you
asked
them
to
make
a
small
dig
rather
than
a
big
dig.
They
didn't
do
anything,
but
they
didn't
do
anything
because
council
paplocks
just
caught
them
before
they
were
going
to
do
you
see
my
point:
they
they
sniff
out
these
new
roads
and
they
dig
they
did
they
did
sheffield
road.
Did
they
do
sheffield?
I
F
You,
president,
through
the
chair
to
director
barron,
I
just
have
a
couple
of
issues.
I
just
want
to
confirm
you
received
them.
I
got
a
house
at
25
belmont
that
the
grass
is
getting
pretty
pretty
long.
Can
we
send
billy,
and
these
guys
that
particular
house
has
been
repeat
offenders.
They
have
neighbors
at
con,
I'm
so
I'm
being
proactive
to
keep
the
neighbors
from
contacting
me
about
the
house.
So
if
we
get
building
inspections
out
to
kind
of
look
at
them,
if
you.
T
F
Me
I'll
take
care
of
that.
Okay,
I
think
I
did
and
then
just
I
think,
I've
emailed
you
about
various
potholes
throughout
my.
T
Yes,
along
with
the
highway.
