I
I
actually,
mr

No

with
that
we

We
have
public

and
accommodations
that
are
done
this
evening.
Public

limited
talkative

yes,
that'll
work.
J
Up
to
you,
can
you
hope,
just
hold
on
a
second,
the
stenographer's
telling
me
he's
having
a
problem
logging
in.
C

O
I
have
had
ron
ronzio
transcribe
audio
recordings
for
me
for
various
cases
that
I've
worked
on
for
years,
so
I
know
it's
possible
for
him
to
do
it.

I
just
added

as

head,
your

up,

notice,
the
record.
B
I'll
try

for

west

land
trust.
We
sent
the
council
a
letter
september
24th
referring
to
various
parts
of
that
letter,
so
the
west
atlanta
committee
submits
an
amendment
to
the
proposed
ordinance
5-20-0-4
special
use
permit.
The
amendment
is
based
on
two
established
principles.
B
First,
the
city
zoning
ordinance
recognizes
that
streets
may
be
given
special
protection
and
anticipation
of
future
actions.
Ordinance.
Seventeen
point
twenty
point:
zero,
nine
l
states
quote
additional
setbacks
on
certain
streets.
Additional
setbacks
shall
be
required
on
certain
collector
and
arterial
streets,
increased
in
anticipation
of
increased
traffic
generation
and
or
projected
highway
improvements.
B
The
communities
are
near:
ganset,
newport,
new
shoreham,
south
kingston
and
warwick,
and
my
letter
provides
various
examples
with
these
principles
in
mind.
The
westphalian
trust
requests
the
adoption
of
this
amendment
to
5-20-0-4
restrictions
on
applicability
of
dimensional
variances
as
the
comprehensive
plan
lists,
goals
and
policies
to
identify
and
protect
scenic
roads
in
western
cranston.
B
The
national
variances
may
not
be
granted
to
properties
requiring
special
permits.
Adjacency
streets
listed
in
the
city,
ordinance,
17.20,
09,
dl
streets
that
are
part
of
the
historic
farm
route
and
tip
and
orchard
road
and
seven
mile
road
north
of
situate
avenue
until
such
scenic
roads
are
identified
and
protected
properties
along
scenic
roads
shall
not
be
eligible
for
dimensional
variances.
On
your
special.
B
B
Our
amendment
ensures
their
continued
protection
until
the
city
identifies
and
enacts
correct
protections
for
scenic
roads
in
western
cranston
is
called
poor
by
the
comprehensive
plan.
Our
amendment
does
not
apply
to
commercial
or
industrial
zones
or
the
eastern
cranston
area
discuss
the
staff,
letters
or
the
churches,
or
restaurants
mentioned
in
mr
murray's
lottery.
B
B
P
As
many
of
you
might
know,
I've
been
advocating
for
this
document
for
about
the
last
three
years,
and
I
would
like
to
thank
matthew,
riley,
a
member
of
the
charter
commission
for
his
role
in
reaching
out
to
the
commission
members
and
securing
a
vote
to
go
ahead
and
to
councilman
hopkins
and
councilman
paplowskis
for
their
support
for
this
initiative
and
I'm
very
happy
that
we're
gaining
some
ground-
and
this
would
be
a
great,
simple,
four
or
five
page
document-
a
guide
for
the
citizens
of
cranston,
particularly
if
there's
going
to
be
a
property
directly
abutting
their
land,
and
this
would
probably
help
them
quite
a
bit
in
determining
what
their
role
can
be
in
what
the
role
is
of
all
the
departments
in
the
city.
P
P
Q
Don
roach
94
hybrid
drive
just
wanted
to
speak
about
the
resolution
sponsored
by
vice
president
favichio
and
supporting
our
men
and
women
in
blue.
Q
I
was
able
to
reach
out
to
council
member
for
vickio
prior
to
the
meeting
and
offered
just
some
a
suggestion
to
the
wording.
What
I
offered
to
to
add
into
a
particular
section.
Q
But
I
wanted
to
add
that
there
are
certainly
real
issues
and
reasons
for
people
to
feel
mistrust
and
felt
that
the
resolution
would
be
enhanced
by
adding
in
some
of
that
language
and
wording.
R
I
think
that
this
resolution
is
consistent
and
aligned
with
the
city's
work
with
one
cranston,
the
cranston
health
equity
zone,
diversity,
training
and
other
efforts
that
our
city
has
undertaken
to
be
a
leader
in
advancing
social
justice,
and
so
I
encourage
our
council
to
pass
this
resolution
declaring
racism
as
a
public
health
issue.
Thank
you.
Q
S
S
Good
evening
with
council
president
farina
good
evening,
everyone,
I
just
had
a
statement
that
I
wanted
to
read-
relates
to
yard.
T
Works
one
company
that
hasn't
had
to
alter
their
work
arrangement
during
this
pandemic,
as
yard
works,
incorporated
they've
been
operating,
full
steam
ahead
so
far
through
now
three
seasons
in
2020.
T
I
know
this
to
be
true
because
we
are
stuck
at
home
having
to
continually
hear,
feel
smell
and
breathe
in
the
effects
of
yard
works
activity
monday
through
saturday,
with
an
occasional
sunday
thrown
in
additionally,
as
we
record
video
of
yardworks
activity
to
help
prove
our
case
in
court.
We
are
now
on.
We
now
on
multiple
occasions
have
been
met
with
threats
and
harassment
by
yardworks
employees,
and
there
seems
to
be
no
end
in
sight
to
this
entire
nightmare.
U
Thank
you,
mr
council.
President,
members
of
the
city
council,
I
just
briefly
want
to
speak
in
favor
of
ordinance
5-20-04
as
presented
to
the
council
by
the
ordinance
committee.
I
did.
I
was
able
to
listen
in
part
to
what
mr
doe
said.
U
That
is
a
basic
tool
that
I
think
the
zoning
board
should
have
available
to
it
and
that
property
owner
should
that
does
not
mean
that
an
applicant
would
still
would
still
have
to
meet
the
the
legal
standards
for
directional
variance.
U
There
would
be
notice
to
neighbors
there
would
be
a
public
hearing
before
the
zoning
board,
so
there
this
is
not
an
automatic
event,
but
the
the
description
that
I
listened
to
with
respect
to
the
suggested
amendment
basically
would
apply
to
uses
within
the
a80
zone,
because
that's
principally
where
those
roads
are
that
mr
doe
is
referring
to.
As
it
directly
affects
the
cranston
country
club.
It
would
disallow
the
zoning
board
from
considering
their
application,
that's
presley
pending
so
respectfully.
U
If
that
amendment
is
offered,
I
would
urge
the
council
not
to
accept
it
and
to
proceed
forward
with
the
positive
recommendation
from
the
ordinance
committee.
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions,
but
thank
you.
C
V
W
Good,
I
would
just
like
to
hone
in
tonight
on
and
follow
up
to
the
520-04
ordinance
committee
change.
For
this
evening,
I
echo
the
sentiment
of
the
west
bay
land
trust,
as
stated
by
doug
doe.
W
I
think
that
it's
a
compromise,
I'm
not
in
favor
of
the
ordinance
amendment
as
a
whole,
but
at
least
with
those
amendments
it
does
protect
the
rural
nature
of
of
our
city
with
those
setbacks
that
were
carefully
placed
in
our
city.
For
a
reason,
I
do
think
that
the
ordinance
amendment
as
a
whole
expedites
a
process
that
otherwise
doesn't
need
to
be
expedited.
W
It's
we
are
still
a
very
appealing
city
to
many
businesses,
and
I
do
not
think
that
the
current
two-step
process
is
a
deterrent
to
those
businesses
from
entering
our
city.
I
think
that
when
you
purchase
a
property,
whether
commercial
or
residential,
you
know
the
limitations
of
that
property
when
you
purchase
it,
and
I
think
that
the
two-step
process
is
a
proper
protection
and
I'm
not
in
favor
of
the
ordinance
amendment
but
as
a
at
the
very
least.
W
I
think
that
the
west
bay
land
trust
recommendations
should
be
should
be
taken
into
action,
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
C
I
do
I
can
we
can
ask
him,
he
we've
been
having
some
feedback
issues
with
him.
Every
time
he
had
mutes,
we
get
some
really
bad
feedback.
So,
mr
liquor,
if
you
want
to
unmute
and
we'll
see
if
we
can
get
you,
I.
C
C
C
So
if
you
I
know,
you're
calling
with
fire
pits,
try
to
either
mute
your
phone
or
your
computer.
I
don't
know
if
you
have
a
microphone
on
your
computer,
but
give
it
a
give
one
more
shot
see
if
we
can
catch
in.
C
Just
like
here
just
try
muting
hey
what
you
should
work
now
I
just
I
broke
the
link
on
your.
A
Y
X
I
apologize
tech
savvy
a
little
bit
but
whatever,
but
I
don't
know
if
I'm
out
of
turn
speaking
about
the
fire
pits,
but.
X
X
Okay.
I
know
this
is
a
health
safety
issue
and
I
have
tried
everything
under
the
sun
through
the
proper
channels,
and
I
am
speaking
for
the
taber
street
condo
association
as
well.
X
X
I
have
gone
to
call
the
fire
department
call
the
police
department.
When
this
happens,
I
call
a
police
department,
they
say:
listen,
it's
not
our
jurisdiction.
Yes,
it's
under
our
control,
but
you
got
to
call
a
fire
department.
I
call
a
fire
department,
they
do
send
a
piece
of
equipment
out
which
is
costing
the
taxpayers
a
lot
of
money
and
all
they
can
do
is
they
say
we
can
tell
the
people
and
educate
them,
but
we
can't
enforce
the
ordinance.
X
X
I'm
not
going
to
mention
any
names
with
the
conversations
I
had
there,
because
I
don't
want
to
put
anybody.
You
know
behind.
Oh
behind
you
know
the
eight
ball,
but
I
went
into
city
hall
and
I
said
I'd
like
to
speak
to
the
math
was
open
door
policy.
Oh,
you
need
an
appointment.
X
Okay
forgot!
My
cell
phone
at
home
went
home
called
the
mayor's
office
gentleman
answered
the
phone
who
I
have
sent
emails
to
and
spoken
to
from
emails.
He
said
after
what
I
told
him
he
said:
listen,
you
got
a
better
shot
at
talking
to
the
cranston
herald.
Do
you
think
the
mayor
in
his
busy
day
is
going
to
talk
to
you
about
fire
pits
and
that
just
sent
me
an
orbit.
X
I've
had
26
years
in
the
military
and
I'm
not
giving
this
up.
My
wife
suffers
from
a
breathing
disorder
as
well
as
I
did
thanks
to
the
military,
and
it
just
seems
like
that.
The
people
who
are
breaking
the
law.
X
We
cannot
leave
our
doors
open
because
of
the
smoke
people
of
in
the
smell
people
are
burning
everything
under
the
sun
from
pallets
to
a
rotten
oak,
which
I
won't
say,
but
people
know
what
kind
of
oak
that
is
and
they're
burning
stuff
with
you
know
creosole
on
it,
I've
got
one
person
that
is
a
contractor,
that's
burning,
wood,
that's
got
varnish,
paint
and
anything
else
on
it
and
it's
just
unbearable,
and
I
don't
know
where
to
go
where
to
turn
right
now.
X
Well,
I
do
know
what
to
do,
but
I
I
just
want
the
city
of
cranston.
If
we
can
keep
this
local
to
to
just
end
this,
I
mean
with
the
addendum
when
this
thing
was
this
legislation
or
this
ordinance
on
december
7
2017
went
from
fire
pits
to
cooking.
There
is
nowhere
in
this
ordinance
cooking
it
fire
pits
are
not
mentioned.
It
says:
cooking
of
food
on
barbecues,
fireplaces
or
grills
shall
be
at
least
10
feet
from
property.
X
They're
not
cooking
on
it
at
all,
because
when
I
took
mr
stykos
councilman
stykos
around
right
in
view
of
every
single
fire
pit
was
either
a
charcoal
grill
or
a
gas
grill
that
people
are
cooking
on,
and
you
know
it's
it's
just
gonna
end
I
mean
we've.
We've
got
one
person
that
has
just
recently
sold
this
condominium
because
they're
up
to
their
ears
with
this
smell,
they're,
moving
out,
I
mean,
what's:
what's
it
gonna,
take
somebody
to
to
come
down
with
a
chronic
lung
disease,
somebody
to
die
from
all
this?
X
I
don't
like
inhaling
wood
that
is
being
burnt
in
a
fire
pit,
so
people
can
sit
around
and
drink
and
come
out
with
varnish,
it's
no
good
for
the
human
being,
and
it's
no
good
for
the
environment,
and
I
don't
know
where
to
turn
and
what
to
do
anymore.
So
you
know
I've
spoke
my
piece.
I
just
hope
that
we
can
put
it
into
this
fire
pit
situation
and
it
would
be
great
if
everybody
had
five
acres
of
land
and
your
next
door.
X
Neighbor
wouldn't
smell
it,
but
I
got
fire
pits,
burning,
40,
feet
away
and
when
the
wind
blows
in
my
direction,
the
smoke
on
the
smell
go
right
through
my
condo
and
I
can't
leave
the
doors
and
windows
open
but
they're
enjoying
their
fire
pit
and
they're
not
supposed
to
be
doing
it.
I
appreciate
your
time
and
again
councilman
stykos.
Thank
you
so
very
much
for
you
know
with
this
resolution
and
meeting
with
me,
and
I
appreciate
your
help,
sir,
and
thank
you
for
listening.
X
C
Z
B
Z
I
live
at
three
brewster
road,
it's
a
corner
house
on
pontiac
and
brewster.
I
mention
that
because
the
smoke
that
I've
been
experiencing,
this
has
been
going
on
now
for
months
now,
and
I've
had
smoke
coming
into
my
house
and
they
didn't
know
where
it
was
coming
from
at
first,
but
eventually
I
found
out
it
was
coming
from
the
neighbor
two
houses
down
from
me.
Z
I
went
to
my
doctor
who
diagnosed
me
as
having
smoke
inhalation
and
he
said
that
the
lining
of
my
lungs
and
the
nasal
passageways,
my
lonics,
because
they
also
was
flossed
at
the
time,
have
all
become
irritated
from
the
smoke
and
a
week
later
it
happened
again
and
it.
Finally,
what
I
had
to
do
was
I
had
to
hire
an
attorney,
because
my
health
is
really
being
impaired
very
negatively.
Z
I
hired
an
attorney
and
he's
helping
me
to
you
know
solve
the
problem
and
so
far
it
seems
to
have
been
solved.
But
the
point
is
no
citizen
should
have
to
go
through
this.
Nobody
should
be
forced
to
have
to
close
the
windows
and
always
be
on
guard
if
I'm
outside,
and
have
to
immediately
run
inside
to
avoid
the
smoke
and
make
sure
I
get
the
windows
closed
and
once
they
closed
the
windows,
the
smoke
would
linger
in
the
house
for
sometimes
a
day
or
two
before
it
would
clear
out.
Z
So
I
urge
the
council
to
protect
the
citizens
of
cranston,
because
this
is
a
real
problem.
It's
a
health
problem
and
smoke
inhalation
is
a
real
serious
matter.
If
you
don't
have
a
respiratory
problem,
you
can
get
one
from
inhaling
smoke
and
if
you
do
have
any
kind
of
a
smoke,
a
problem
with
your
respiration
system,
this
smoke
just
irritates
it
even
more.
So
I
really
urge
the
council
to
take
some
action
and
protect
the
citizens
of
cranston,
because
no
one
should
have
to
go
with
this
experience.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
AA
Okay,
I'm
tracy
bretton
and
I
live
at
174
columbia
avenue
in
cranston.
So
I
think
the
issue
with
the
smoke
kind
of
is
is
is
a
bigger
problem
than
just
the
fire
pits.
AA
I
think
that,
well,
I
know
that
the
city's
issued
restaurant
permits
to
people
who
are
actually
operating,
not
restaurants,
but
catering
businesses,
where
their
soul
job
is
to
produce
smoked
meats
that
they
use.
Big
smokers
with
that
are
pouring
smoke
into
our
backyards
and
polluting
our
houses
and
and
and
the
business
is
a
good
business.
The
people
are
really
nice,
but
it
started
off
as
a
little
what
I
thought:
a
barbecue
business.
AA
AA
So
I
really
think
that
the
smoke
issue
is
a
bigger
problem
and
councilman
styko
says
that
there
are
ordinances
already
on
the
books
that
will
protect
homeowners
from
this
kind
of
pollution.
But
apparently
from
the
subcommittee
meeting
that
I
went
to
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
the
fire
chief
doesn't
think
that
there
is
a
that
he
has
the
authority
to
do
anything
except
to
send
people
over
to
tell
people
to
put
fires
out.
AA
C
H
That's
the
the
testimony
has
been
provided
to
rose
and
we're
incorporating
it
in
the
record.
O
C
O
N
Hi,
sorry,
I'm
just
technical
difficulties
on
my
end
as
well.
Thank
you.
So
much
resolution
is
very
straightforward.
It's
a
resolution
I
introduced
last
year
and
it
passed
anonymously
and
I'm
hoping
and
encouraging
everyone
to
also
be
in
support
of
the
resolution
where
september
15
through
october.
15
is
nationally
recognized
as
hispanic
heritage
month,
where
we
recognize
many
americans
of
hispanic
descent
who
have
made
outstanding
contributions
to
our
nation.
N
We
have
obviously
many
hispanics
who
live
here
in
the
city
of
cranston,
and
so
I
would
like
to
invite
everyone
to
not
only
celebrate
where
we
can
but
congratulate
all
the
hispanic
heritage
committee
of
rhode,
island
arts
in
celebration
of
the
32nd
anniversary,
but
also
to
celebrate
the
hispanic
american
community
here
in
our
state
and
in
our
city.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
president,
through
council,
member
vargas,
if
you
don't
mind,
I'd
like
to
be
a
sponsor
with
you
on
this.
G
Thank
you,
mr
council.
President.
This
is
a
great
resolution
and
the
sponsor
wouldn't
mind
my
sponsor
as
well.
G
N
C
L
Thank
you,
president
same
same
sentiment
would
love
to
be
added
as
a
co-sponsor
keep
up
the
good
work
council,
member
vargas.
Thanks
for
bringing
this
up.
AD
Again,
thank
you.
Council
president
councilwoman
vargas
yeah
also
asked
to
be
added
as
a
co-sponsor
and
just
want
to
say
that
I
appreciate
everything
that
you
do
to
bring
this
to
the
fore,
and
you
know
I
wish
we
had
as
vibrant
a
celebration
as
we
we
had
last
year
that
you
helped
that
you
organized,
and
I
hope
to
be
able
to
to
do
that
together
again
soon.
D
I'd
like
to
be
I'd
like
to
be
added,
I
often
don't
do
this.
I
think
the
credit
should
go
to
councilwoman
vargas
who's
who's
done
the
work
on
this
and
I
haven't
contributed
so,
but
I
I
would
like
to
be
added
as
a
co-sponsor.
E
Thank
you,
council.
President
yeah,
I
was
only
I
wasn't
here
last
year.
I
don't
believe
for
your
celebration
council,
member
of
august,
so
I
I'm
glad
to
support
it
this
year.
E
In
the
spirit
I'd
like
to
just
mention
something
to
you
in
spanish,
if
possible,
go
resolution,
which
I
am
it's
a
pleasure
to
support
your
resolution
and
I'd
like
to
also
be
at
it
as
a
sponsor
that'll.
M
N
No,
no!
No!
No!
No!
Thank
you.
Thank
you
councilman
cycles
as
well.
Absolutely
I
don't
want
to
take
credit
for
this.
I
think
we
are,
you
know
we're
all
of
what
makes
cranston
special,
and
so
I
always
you
know,
welcome
everyone's
participation,
correspondent
co-sponsorship
of
resolutions
such
as
this
one.
Thank
you.
C
Yep
so
I'll
make
it
unanimous
and
ask
to
be
another
sponsor
and
just
say,
thank
you,
councilman
vargas,
for
as
your
time
in
the
council,
you
know
since
you've
been
here.
You've
definitely
made
us
more
more
concerned
about
a
lot
of
issues
that
you
know
that
didn't
affect
a
lot
of
the
white
men
that
were
on
the
council.
So
thank
you
for
being
part
of
the
council
last
four
years.
I
look
forward
to
seeing
you
continue
to
grow
as
a
council
person
and
in
whichever
future
you
decide
to
go
politically.
C
AE
Y
Y
C
AD
AD
Yeah,
thank
you,
council
president.
AD
This
you
know
earlier
this
summer,
all
of
us
received
a
survey
from
the
one
cranston
organization
that
was
sent
out
to
candidates
for
mayor
in
city
council,
races,
asking
us
about
our
thoughts
on
systemic
racism,
here
in
cranston
plans
to
increase
diversity,
inclusion
and
equity,
and
almost
everyone
responded,
and
I
found
you
know
I
found
the
responses
enlightening,
and
it
was
certainly
an
education
for
me
and
in
seeing
everyone's
perspective
on
the
matter,
and
my
hope
is
that
that
conversation
or
that
reflection
that
took
place
between
each
one
of
us
and
and
that
survey
that
it
doesn't
just
stop
there,
that
we
continue
to
have
these
conversations,
albeit
uncomfortable
at
times,
and
that
we
commit
ourselves
to,
as
the
resolution
resolves,
the
elimination
of
racial
disparities
and
all
systems
of
racism
that
exist
within
our
community.
AD
AD
Some
of
the
freshmen
city
council
members-
and
I
know
that
many
of
the
veterans
on
here
have
been
doing
this
work
for
years,
so
this
is
just
a
recommitment
to
that
and
that
as
we
move
forward,
we
we
continue
to
work
and
and
approach
this
work
through
the
lens
of
racial
justice
and
creating
a
more
equitable
society
for
everyone
here
in
cranston,
where
race
is
no
longer
an
indicator
of
outcomes
for
members
of
our
community.
So
I
encourage
everyone
to
support
this.
N
Tonight,
thank
you
if
the
co-sponsors
would
allow
I'd
love
to
be
part
of
a
co-sponsorship
of
this
resolution,
and
indeed
I
I
I
second
what
you
just
said
councilman
don
again,
so
I
won't
repeat
everything
that
you
said
and
how
I
feel,
but
pretty
much
much
needed,
and
we
word
for
word
every
dotted
eye
and
every
class
tease.
I
agree
with
on
this
resolution,
so
thank
you
for
submitting
this
forward
to
the
council.
E
Thank
you,
council,
president
to
the
sponsors.
I
just
my
only
concern.
How
do
we
declare
a
public
health
issue?
I
mean,
has
the
state
department
of
health
or
anyone
else
done
all
the
research
on
this
or
you
know
I
I'm
just
curious.
You
know,
I
understand
what
you
you
want
to
accomplish.
I
just
wonder
whether
I
I
don't
know
who
are
we
asking
an
agency
to
do
it
or
councilman
donaghy.
AD
Yeah
I
can
you're
getting
at
something
that
I
I
actually
gave
a
decent
amount
of
thought
to
when
drafting
this
resolution
was
the
difference
between
declaring
it
a
public
health
issue
and
a
public
health
emergency.
AD
And
if
we
were,
the
council
were
to
declare
something:
a
public
health
emergency,
the
implications
that
could
have
on
you
know,
potential
exec
executive
powers
or
giving
an
executive
powers
under
a
declaration
of
emergency.
AD
A
AD
E
AD
Oh
now,
with
the
administration
I
mean
I,
I
I'm
the
city
council
member
on
the
cranston
health
equity
zone,
I've
consulted
with
numerous
public
health.
I
would
say
experts
when
drafting
this,
and
one
of
them
spoke
earlier.
A
couple
of
them
cannot
be
on
the
call
tonight,
but
I
think
it's
I
don't
have
a
background
in
public
health.
AD
I
think-
and
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
anyone
that
is
a
public
health
expert
here
tonight,
but
I
think
it
is
widely
regarded
that
systemic
racism
does
impact
health
outcomes,
and
I
I
do
think
that
there
is
a
substantial
amount
of
data,
even
just
looking
at
census,
information
for
cranston
and
census
data
estimates
that
point
to
the
existence
of
it
within
our
community
and
its
impact.
C
AC
First
of
all,
I
would
like
to
thank
council
women
councilman
done
again
for
taking
this
initiative
and
as
a
public
health
issue.
As
a
woman
of
color
that
I
have
to
say
any
times
when
a
black
person
take
the
initiative
to
talk
about
racism,
people
see
it
another
way,
but
coming
from
you-
and
I
really
appreciate
it
and
to
be
a
co-sponsor
of
this
resolution
and
racism
impact
our
lives
not
only
physically
emotionally,
it's
holy
holistically
impacted
us.
AC
That's
why
we
call
it
is
the
public
health
issue,
because
I
can
take
one
example.
As
you
know,
a
woman
who
is
pregnant,
who
goes
to
the
doctor
because
of
implicit
bias,
for
example,
the
outcome
are
different
than
when
a
woman
who
is
a
white
woman.
AC
We
have
some
stereotypes
based
on
racism
that
in
particular
lives
whether
it's
education,
where
there
is
economic,
where
there
is
health,
so
is
it
public
health
because
to
be
healthy,
you
need
to
be
healthy
physically,
but
you
need
to
be
healthy
emotionally,
so
racism
impacted
us
emotionally
physically,
so
he's
a
publicly.
If
you
need
to
be
healthy,
it's
not
only
a
matter
of
having
a
disease.
AC
Can
you
can
see,
but
a
disease
that
can
impact
you
emotionally
is
a
disease
as
well
as
a
disease
that
impacted
you
physically.
So
that's
why
I
think
I
believe
it's
a
public
health
issue
in
my
perspective,
and
I
really
appreciate
that
we
framed
the
issue
that
way.
Thank
you.
So
much
council
done
again
for
this
initiative.
C
D
I'd
just
like
to
give
an
example
of
of
how
systemic
racism
has
affected
the
the
public
health
that
I
read.
A
D
The
there
was
a
widespread
redlining,
not
by
banks,
where
they
would
not
loan
to
minority
people
who
wanted
to
buy
houses
in
certain
neighborhoods,
and
so
the
the
people
of
color,
primarily
at
the
time
african
americans
were
confined
to
certain
neighborhoods,
then
those
neighborhoods
are
close
to.
D
In
those
neighborhoods,
so
that's
that's
one
example
where
systemic
racism,
it's
still
playing
out
now
that
redlining
has
been
at
least
weakened
and
hopefully
defeated.
Infant
mortality
among
people
of
color
is
higher
than
among
white
residents
of
the
u.s,
so
there's
kind
of
a
case
after
case
after
case
of
where
discrimination
has
continued,
because
it's
been
systematic.
I
know
that
black
farmers
were
not
able
to
get
the
same
loans
that
white
farmers
were
able
to
get,
particularly
in
the
south.
There
was
a
discrimination.
D
There
was
a
long
old
lawsuit
that
was
settled
recently,
as
in
within
the
last
20
years
to
comp
to
try
to
impart
compensate
those
black
farmers.
So
there
was
income
loss
there
and
when
income
goes
down,
access
to
doctors
and
hospitals
often
goes
down.
So
I
think
it
is
it's
a
real
problem.
It's
not
an
invented
problem.
D
It's
just
one
that
I
think
you
need
to
see
the
the
pieces
fit
together
in
you
know,
over
particularly
over
a
period
of
years
and
a
period
of
a
series
of
of
racist
policies
that
have
really
damaged
the
minority
community
in
the
united
states.
So.
G
Thank
you,
mr
council,
president,
not
to
echo
all
of
the
things
that
have
been
said
by
other
council
members,
but
I
will
be
voting
for
this
tonight
and
I'd
also
like
to
be
added
as
a
co-sponsor.
K
K
One
of
the
gentlemen
that
is
part
of
my
team
is
a
hispanic
male
of
color,
and
I
asked
him
this
very
question
and
it's
really
helping
me
to
understand
exactly
what
he
goes
through,
what
his
family
goes
through,
and
I
think
we
not
only
need
to
continue
the
discussion
but
take
some
action
on
it
as
we
move
forward,
and
I
wholeheartedly
support
this
resolution.
C
By
hearing
none
I'll
at
my
two
cents
on
this,
I
do
believe
that
systemic
racism
exists
in
our
society.
I
do
believe
that
this
resolution
is
something
that
the
council
should
definitely
pass.
I
hope
the
council
will
continue
to
work
to
reduce
the
levels
of
structural
institutional
racism.
I
know
councilmember
donegan
and
I
were
privileged
to
take
a
a
wonderful.
You
know
very
difficult
course
to
take
on
this
last
year
through
the
the
racism
foundation
that
was
given
by
one
cranston,
an
association
with
the
rhode
island
foundation.
C
I
know
a
lot
of
council
members
were
invited,
but
just
could
not
unfortunately,
participate.
Definitely,
some
that
opened
your
eyes
to
some
of
the
things
in
our
history
that
have
created
structural
institutional
racism,
around
policies
of
the
past
issues
with
with
laws
that
were
passed
well
before
a
lot
of
us
were
even
born.
Well,
a
few
of
us,
so
I
definitely
would
love
to
be
out
as
a
correspondent
and
would
hope
that
kelvin
mcdonagh
again
you
continue
this
work
as
you
continue
on
the
council.
AE
AE
AE
Y
G
G
C
D
Well,
I
think
we
we've
heard
from
three
residents
tonight,
one
from
ward,
one,
one
from
ward
two
and
a
third
from
ward
five
about
this.
This
problem
and
I've
thought
a
lot
about
this
problem
and
I
put
forth
a
resolution
because
our
law
is
our
ordinance
is
excellent.
AB
D
D
So
I
think
this
is
a
problem
for
the
administration
and
I
would
like
to
ask
mr
pirillo
just
because
he's
the
only
one
here
from
the
administration
or
the
the
highest
person
in
the
administration.
I
think
the
mayor
should
address
this
issue
with
the
departments.
But
how
are
we
going
to
enforce
this
and
protect
the
health
and
the
quality
of
life
of
our
residents?.
I
I
The
like
the
fire
chief
said:
councilman:
they
don't
have
enforcement
powers,
so
it's
up
to
the
pd
to
enforce
and
cite
for
that.
They
can
only
go
on
that
property
when
there
is
a
complaint.
So
that's
the
only
thing
about
trying
to
be
proactive
with
this.
I
can't
have
police
going
to
private
people's
backyards
for
fire
pits.
So
a
would
need
a
complaint
and
b.
We
need
to
come
up
with
a
system
where
either
fd
and
pb
are
responding
or
fd
is
responding
and
then,
if
needed,
pd
responds.
I
So
it's
something
I
can
talk
to
the
colonel
and
the
the
chief
about
how
we
can
try
to
get
to
the
bottom
of
why
the
increasing
amount
of
complaints
are
coming
in
for
the
fire
pits.
D
Yeah
just
to
I
think,
one
of
the
reasons
that
we're
getting
more
complaints
is
that
home
depot
is
selling
them.
A
second
reason
is,
you
know,
we're
all
kind
of
a
mildly,
going
crazy,
because
we're
staying
home
where
there
are
very
few
outside
options,
and
so
people
are
going
in
their
backyards.
I
think
that's.
The
second
reason
I
think
another
reason
is
that
people
are
more
sensitive
now
or
more
aware
of
the
dangers
of
asthma.
D
I
think
we
know
that
if
you
have
lung
problems,
you're
more
susceptible
to
covet,
19
or
more
likely
to
suffer
more
severe
consequences
of
catching
cobit
19,
but
I
really
think
that
this
I
mean
the
administration.
This
is
an
administration
problem
that
has
to
be
solved
administratively.
D
If
the
fire
department
needs
to
be
given
enforcement
power,
then
you
should
be
coming
to
the
council
with
that
recommendation.
If
it's
coordination,
then
there's
got
to
be
better
coordination,
but
this
is
just
really
horrible
for
these
people.
They
keep
mr
schoenberg,
who
called
me.
He
said
I
don't
want
to
call
the
fire
department.
They've
got
better
things
to
do
than
chase
down
some
smoke
in
ward
2.,
but
we've
allowed
a
system
of
an
enforcement
system
to
evolve
where.
D
It
just
doesn't
work,
and
I
certainly
hope
that
you
could
report
back
to
the
council
if
this
resolution
passes
next
month
on
the
the
progress
and
what
steps
have
been
taken.
Thank.
I
You,
I
think
the
difficult
part
also
is
I've
gotten.
Some
calls
from
ward
4
saying:
are
you
going
to
try
to
ban
fire
pits
and
I'm
like?
No,
I'm
not
going
to
try
to
ban
fire
pits,
but
because
of
the
different
sections
of
the
city?
Obviously
the
enforcement
needs
to
be
more.
I
think,
obviously,
in
one
two
and
three
where
the
houses
are
more
tightly
gathered
and
it's
more
of
an
issue
there
so
again,
I
think
it
leads
to
some
coordination
between
police
and
fire
as
to
how
they
can
go
about
messing
with.
C
D
D
So
that's
the
ordinance
that
that
we
have
so
I
I
guess
I
would
request
that.
The
next
meeting
of
the
safety
services
committee,
which
I
believe
is
going
to
be
on
the
what
the
13th
is,
that
right-
chris,
yes,
yes,
yeah
there
that
this
be
on
the
agenda
and
the
administration
could
report
someone
from
the
administration
could
report
about
the
what
they'd
be
doing
about
enforcement.
I'm
not.
G
Sure
steve
we
can
put
it
on
this
agenda.
This
one
coming
up
is
the
meeting
that
we
missed
today.
So
all
the
everything's
just
getting
forwarded.
I
don't
know
if
we
can
amend
that
again
to
add
that
might
have
to
be
the
following
month.
D
G
All
right,
thank
you,
council
president.
So
obviously
this
is
a
tough
issue.
I
know
a
lot
of
people
have
been
home
and
that's
why
there's
been
a
lot
of
fires
going
on.
I
think
we
have
a
good
ordinance.
It
only
allows
cooking
fires.
It
says
what
the
fire
pit
can
be
made
of
brick
masonry.
That
kind
of
thing.
G
I
think
it's
a
good
ordinance
because
it
it
still
allows
you
to
have
s'mores
with
your
kids.
You
know
that
kind
of
opportunity
if
you
want
to
cook
and
have
a
fire,
but
we
definitely
need
to
work
on
the
enforcement.
I
do
want
to
make
a
friendly
amendment
to
this
steve
line.
32
says
and
it
and
be
it
finally
resolved
that
the
mayor
report
on
progress.
G
Can
we
change
that
to
administration?
Are
you
okay
with
that?
Oh
yeah
sure
so
on
line
32
I'll
make
an
amendment
to
change
the
word
maya
to.
D
E
C
Thank
you
under
discussion
scene.
Unquote,
please
take
the
role
in
the.
J
AE
Y
Y

Any
further
discussion
on
the
you
may.
G
I
B
AE
AE
Y
Y
E
E
L
L
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
I
I
agree
with
the
sentiments
I
first
off.
I
want
to
say
I
appreciate
council
councilman
steichos
continuing
to
fight
for
his
residence.
I
will
have
to
do
the
same.
I've
received
numerous
emails
of
people
concerned
with
more
regulation
of
fire
pits.
We're
seeing
other
towns
like
these
providence,
actually
extend
fire
pit
laws,
certainly
appreciate
and
understand
the
complaints
that
we're
receiving
throughout
the
city
and
in
more
dense
areas,
but
in
ward
4.
Here,
with
with
a
lot
of
my
constituents,
have
many
acres
of
lands.
L
They
want
to
be
able
to
do
snores
s'mores
with
their
kids.
They
want
to
be
able
to
grow
hot
dogs
on
a
fire,
and
you
know,
for
the
most
part,
I've
received
zero
to
no
complaints,
so
certainly
appreciate
the
other
parts
of
the
city.
I
know
more
research
has
to
be
done.
I
just
wanted
to
express
the
emails
that
I've
received
from
my
constituents.
AE
AE
Y
Y
G
G
E
C
Resolution
passes
moving
on,
we
have
resolutions
supporting
our
men
and
women
in
blue
spouted
by
council.
Vice
president
favichio.
E
Thank
you,
council,
president
I'll
make
a
few
comments
before
I.
I
I
make
an
amendment
to
add
some
language
that
I
discussed
with
mr
roach.
E
You
know
over
the
past
10
years
had
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
work
with
the
police
department,
and
you
know:
they've
evolved
into
a
really
tremendous
police
department,
doing
work
in
the
community
policing
getting
their
national
accreditation,
which
really
sets
them
apart
from
a
lot
of
other
police
departments,
and
I
know
that
the
you
know
the
police
have
come
under
so
much
stress
really
because
they've
been
become
a
target
and
not
so
much
here,
obviously
because
in
cranston,
luckily,
we
have
a
pretty
good
community,
but
we
did,
I
know
most
of
us
probably
received
hundreds
of
emails
from
not
all
from
cranstonians
as
well
asking
us
to
defund
the
police,
and
you
know
a
knee-jerk
reaction
like
that.
E
I
think
we
need
to
encourage
our
police
department
and
I
think
we
have
such
a
good
police
department
and
they
have
worked
with
the
colonel
and
the
majors
and
they've
participated
in
subcommittees,
and
you
know
working
on
on
different
things
that
they
didn't
have
to
do,
but
they
take
a
real
interest
in
in
trying
to
improve.
So
I
thought
it
was
something
that
we
should
do
to
support
them
and
tell
them
that
you
know
we.
E
So
that's
one
of
the
reasons
that
I
wanted
to
do
this
and
I
do
have
an
amendment
which
I
could
make
now
unless
you
want
to
further
discussion
first,
I.
E
Okay-
and
this
would
come
in
on
line
39
or
it
would
basically
push
down
from
where
line
39
is,
it
would
read,
whereas
some
residents
have
reported
experience
in
experiencing
racism
firsthand
resulting
in
mistrust
of
some
governmental
agencies.
E
I'm
not
sure
how
many
lines
that
will
take
up,
but
I'm
sure
the
clerks
can
at
some
point
fix
the
configuration.
C
AE
AE
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
G
E
J
C
Resolution
passes
moving
on
resolution
urging
may
have
fund
to
fund
4.1
million
from
france's
cumulative
surplus
to
cranston
public
schools,
sponsored
by
me.
I
will
give
council
vice
president
vicki
on
the
floor.
C
Yes,
so
I
submitted
this,
I
had
it
written
a
few
months
ago
and
I
was
holding
it
to
kind
of
see
what
would
happen
with
the
federal
government,
the
state
government,
to
see
how
budgets
would
work
out
to
see
when
funding
would
come
in
from
the
federal
government
to
try
to
figure
this
whole
thing
out.
C
I
know
we
removed
the
funding
during
the
budget
cycle
which,
at
the
time
seemed
like
the
very
thing
to
do,
because
we
didn't
know
where
the
funding
was
coming
from,
but
now
at
this
point
we're
in
october,
we
have
no
direction
from
the
federal
government
as
to
when
they're
going
to
finalize
their
budgets.
We
have
in
english
in
the
state
that
they
will
not
do
the
budget
until
they
get
funding
from
the
federal
government
and
lo
and
behold
our
kids
are
back
to
school.
C
C
So
I
put
together
this
resolution
to
urge
the
mayor
to
fund
it
directly
from
the
rainy
day
fund.
This
is
the
cumulative
surplus.
That's
why
we
have
it
for
issues
like
this
and
the
way
I
wrote
this
was
in
such
a
way
that
when
the
funds
do
come
back,
they
would
go
back
into
the
rainy
day
fund.
Logistically
that
the
mayor
will
have
to
you
know,
work
with
the
school
department
on
that
because,
as
you
know,
maintenance
of
effort
is
an
issue.
C
So
any
funds
that
came
in
this
year
from
the
incremental
state
aid
would
have
to
come
out
of
next
year's
budget.
So
you'd
have
to
kind
of
work
through
that.
Logistically
to
make
sure
you
don't
doubly
increase
the
maintenance
of
effort,
so
there
would
have
to
be
a
memorandum
of
understanding
sign
between
the
school
department,
city,
council
and
most
likely
the
mayor
if
he
does
go
down
this
route,
but
I'm
starting
the
ball
rolling
to
work
on
getting
the
schools
funded.
G
Thank
you,
mr
council.
Vice
president,
you
know
I
after
thinking
about
this,
and
I
certainly
understand
the
intent
council
president
on
why
you
put
it
in.
I
just
don't
think
much
has
changed.
G
I
think
the
state's
going
to
get
to
work
on
the
budget
after
the
election,
so
this
might
be
a
little
bit
premature,
I'd
hate
to
put
this
in
and
then
have
to
figure
out
the
maintenance
of
effort
and
everything
else
after
the
fact
would
you
be
okay
with
sending
this
to
the
finance
committee
and
then
seeing
what
would
happen
with
the
the
budget
coming
up,
I
really
think
they're
going
to
get
it
done
after
the
election.
C
A
C
To
be
honest
with,
you
know,
I'd
rather
vote
on
this
tonight.
My
I
might
not
be
here
come
december,
chris,
as
most
of
you
know,
I
recently
lost
an
election
to
council
for
hopkins.
Congratulations,
captain
hopkins,
so
I
have
kids
in
the
school
and
for
me
I'm
not
leaving
this
council
with
this
unresolved.
I
want
to
know
that
the
schools
are
going
to
get
funded
and
funded.
C
E
Councilman
hopkins
then
councilman
stykus,
thank
you
and.
K
Mr
vice
president,
yeah,
I
have
a
tendency
to
agree
with
the
councilman
pop
losques
on
this.
I
don't
want
to
rush
into
anything.
That's
going
to
have
an
effect
on
the
maintenance
of
effort.
We
have
seen
covert
money
that
has
been
transferred
over
to
the
schools
already
and
they
have
been
using
that
I've
spoken
with
the
superintendent
about
her
concerns
and
they
received
a
pretty
good
chunk
of
money.
That's
been
handling
some
of
these
issues
already.
K
We
also
have
a
statement
made
by
the
speaker
recently
that
the
money
will
be
coming,
so
I
have
a
tendency
to
agree
with
councilman
poplasquez
that
I
don't
want
to
rush
into
it.
I'd
like
to
see
it
go
to
the
finance
committee
for
more
discussion,
and
I
think,
eventually
we're
going
to
see
whether
the
state
will
come
through
with
that
money.
If
we
can
agree
that
the
speaker
is
right
on
his
presentation.
D
Yeah,
I
guess
I
I
come
somewhere
in
the
middle
on
this
discussion.
I
do
favor
sending
it
to
the
finance
committee,
I'd
like
to
see
it
go
to
the
finance
committee
this
month
and
I'd
like
to.
AB
D
School
department
come
in
and
talk
about
the
coveted
money
and
talk
about
where
their
costs
have
increased
above
what
they
anticipated
in
february,
when
they
they.
D
Budget
and
where
they've
decreased-
and
I
think
we
also
need
to
talk
about
that-
that
number-
that
4.1
is
that
the
the
right
amount
to
urge
the
mayor
to
give
them.
I
don't
see
how
we
could
do
that
with
the
we
could
give
them
that
money
and
then
say
that
state
aid
would
repay
us,
because
the
legislature
is
going
to
pass
a
state
aid
for
education.
D
That's
got
to
be
used
for
education
they're.
I
don't
think
we
could
say
that
some
of
that
money
would
have
to
come
back
to
the
city,
but
that's
an
issue
that
also
could
be
discussed
at
a
hearing.
C
To
the
chair
back
to
councilman
goes,
I
don't
mind
going
to
this
month's
finance
committee,
but
I
don't
want
to
wait
until
you
know
after
the
election,
because
at
that
point
I
think
it's
I
don't
think
anything's
going
to
happen
until
next
year.
At
this
point,
with
everything
that's
been
happening
and
having
spoken
with
the
speaker
having
spoken
with
our
federal
members
and
our
federal
legislation,
their
feeling
is
the
same
that
it
probably
won't
happen
until
at
least
the
middle
of
november.
C
To
start
so
I
have
no
problem
with
taking
this
to
the
finance
committee
meeting,
but
it's
discussion.
We
have
to
have
that
everyone
seems
to
have
been
avoiding
for
the
last
few
months
and
I
understand
why
we're
in
a
deep
election.
But
now
I
think
it's
a
discussion.
We
as
a
body
have
to
have
just
our
responsibility
to
fund
the
school.
D
Well,
I'll
I'll
I'll
make
a
motion,
then
that
we
refer
this
to
the
october
finance
committee
and
that
we
invite
the
school
department
to.
A
E
F
F
As
from
our
information,
it
seems
like
something
in
the
middle
of
november
should
happen,
and
we
should
know
what
type
of
funding
we're
going
to
get
for
school
aid.
That's
one
thing.
The
second
thing
is
when
you
have
the
school
as
an
invite,
the
school
has
right
now.
164
million
dollars
appropriated
between
ourselves
in
this
in
the
state
they've
only
used
31
million
so
far
this
year.
For
the
first
quarter,
that's
only
18.9
percent.
F
It
should
be
closer
to
like
25
percent.
I
think
the
school
at
this
point
is
is
okay?
Financially,
I
don't
know,
what's
going
to
happen
going
forward,
but
first
three
months
of
this
fiscal
year
they
seem
to
be
doing
fine
and,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
they
ended
up
fiscal
year
20
with
a
surplus
and
what
they've
done
is
they
put
about
three
quarters
of
a
million
dollars
into
their
capital
reserve
for
capital
expenditures
that
could
arise
in
the
future
and
they
also
encumbered
a
number
of
purchases
in
fiscal
year?
F
20
that
really
were
for
fiscal
year,
21.
just
to
get
a
jump
start
on
the
fiscal
year
21
year.
So
I
think
at
this
point
I
don't
agree
that
we
should
be
funding
the
school.
I
think
it's
a
little
premature,
but
if
needed
down
the
road,
it's
something
that
I
think
we
could
look
at,
and
I
and
the
other
thing
is.
I
think
something
like
this
should
really
be
done
in
the
fourth
quarter
anyway,
of
the
fiscal
year.
AE
L
Thank
you
chairman.
I
just
want
to
say
I
appreciate
council
president
ferena
bringing
this
forward.
I
look
forward
to
talking
about
this
more.
If
this
passes
to
go
to
the
finance
committee.
I
think
it's
a
very
serious
issue,
how
we
are
here
in
november.
What's
currently
going
on
and
not
exactly
what
the
budget
is,
I
look
forward
to
learning
more
from
the
school
department,
so
I
think
that
was
a
great
suggestion
by
councilman
stykos,
but
I
think
it's
a
serious
issue
that
we
definitely
should
be
discussing.
N
Yes,
thank
you,
so
I
also
want
to
thank
council
president
farina
for
bringing
this
up
to
light,
but
kind
of
like
what
council
member
cycles
also
said
right.
I'm
in
the
midst
of
it.
I'm
a
mother
of
two
who,
obviously
both
of
my
kids,
go
to
the
public
school
system,
and
I
know
how
important
this
is.
I
understand
the
necessary
resources
that
the
schools
need
in
order
to
manage
through
this
pandemic.
N
They,
I
believe
the
schools
were
awarded
approximately
2.7
million
dollars,
as
part
of
the
kobe
19
cares
grant,
and
I
believe
that
that
those
dollars
have
been
itemized
or
spent.
I
would
assume,
before
the
opening
of
the
school's
school
start,
whether
it's
custodial
supplies,
computer
equipment
and
and
so
forth.
N
So
I'm
all
for
sending
this
to
the
finance
committee,
I'm
not
obviously
on
the
finance
committee,
but
I'm
looking
forward
to
listening
to
the
to
mr
joe
balducci,
the
school
department
superintendent
as
well
to
kind
of
tell
us
a
little
bit
of
where
we
are
where
they
are,
where
the
spending
of
the
grant
is
and
a
combination
of
other
items
listed,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we
provide
our
school
department
the
proper
tools
in
order
to
continue
throughout
the
school
year.
E
E
Since
I
made
the
motion
to
delete
the
4.1
million
from
the
from
the
budget,
just
as
it
was,
then
we
didn't
want
to
commit
to
a
maintenance
of
effort
issue
and
since
then,
as
member
vargas
mentioned,
and
I
think
councilman
hopkins
mentioned,
some
coveted
money
has
been
sent
to
the
school
department
and
they've
also
had
less
expenses
to
a
certain
extent
which
which
I
think
may
lessen
the
impact
of
this.
So
to
me,
it's
still
a
little
premature.
E
I
mean
that
was
our
whole
premise
in
our
unanimous
decision
to
kind
of
hold
offs
until
we
know
exactly
what's
coming
in
so
I
have
no
problem
with
taking
it
back
in
the
finance
committee.
I'd
really
like
to
do
it
in
chambers
or
in
the
grandson
east
auditorium
if
we're
going
to
bring
in
the
school
department,
but
that's
another
subject
for
later
in
the
meeting.
E
But
but
I
I
I
do
think
that
it's
still
a
little
premature
and
I
think
that
the
as
mr
strom
said,
there's
money
available
for
them
to
to
continue
with
the
way
they're
going
without
us.
Having
to
you
know,
pump
some
money
in
immediately.
E
So
I
I'd
like
to
wait
and
see
so
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
continue
now
to
the
october
meeting,
which
is
what
the
13th
madam
clerk.
AC
E
One
five:
okay,
any
further
discussion
on
this
hearing,
none
clerk,
please
take
the
role.
E
AE
Y
Y
O
AD
AE
AE
AC
Y
AE
Y
E
AD
AE
E
Next,
we
have
a
resolution
authorizing
tangible
tax,
abatements.
K
AE
J
AE
Y
Y
O
K
Y
Y
Y
AD
C
So
moved
by
councilwoman
and
seconded
by
councilmember
hopkins
in
reverse
order
under
discussion,
councilman
brady.
Would
you
like
to
go
first,
as
you
are
named
as
a
sponsor.
L
Mike
I'm
just
trying
to,
for
whatever
reason
the
daca
just
came
down
just
give
me
one.
Second,
I'm
just
trying
to
get
the
link.
I
apologize.
I
I
The
study
indicated
a
readily
available
project
at
the
natick
and
wilbur
intersection,
consisting
of
a
single
lane,
roundabout,
a
complete
land
survey
has
been
done
and
plans
to
bring
prepared
for
a
potential
bidding
and
construction
available
in
fy
22,
also
due
to
the
tight
land
available.
In
that
hope,
phoenix
and
world
area.
They
are
studying
the
potential
of
land
acquisition
which
would
allow
for
a
single
lane,
roundabout
or
possible
installation
of
a
signalized
intersection.
I
L
Culture
president
fme
you're
right,
I'm
living
in
the
area,
much
obviously
much
like
yourself.
This
is
obviously
a
continued
problem
area.
I
think
it's
a
great
place
to
use
the
fees
to
continue
to
look
in
to
improving
this
area.
So,
like
you
know
much
like
director
parole
said
in
in
committee,
I
was
much
in
support
of
this
and
I
will
continue
to
be
in
support
of
this
because
I
think
it
needs
to
be
changed
as
quickly
as
we
can.
That's.
D
Yeah,
when,
when
would
this
money
be
spent,
when
would
it
start
being
spent
for
director
perillo.
I
To
the
best
of
my
knowledge,
I
think
some
of
the
work
would
be
done.
Some
of
the
money
would
be
spent
in
21
and
then
with
the
construction
going
20
into
22,
so
the
money
itself
just
for
the
study
would
be
21.
and
then
work.
2223.
D
Yeah,
I
just
would
I
I
know
this
was
in
the
budget
and
I
certainly
didn't
object
to
it.
The
financial
situation
of
the
city,
which
I
think
is
fairly
perilous,
given
the
lack
of
action
by
the
state
and
the
federal
government
that
it
might
be.
This
might
not
be
the
top
priority
spending
project
for
rhodes
in
western
cranston.
I
offer
that
as
a
thought.
L
Councilman
cyclos.
I
certainly
agree
with
you
assess
your
you
know
your
sentiment.
I
brought
that
up
when
we
were
voting
on
splash
pad.
I
wasn't
sure
what
that
those
fees
should
be
going
to
that
at
the
time,
but
you
know
this
being
a
couple
years
out,
you
know
and
and
being
an
important
issue
in
my
ward.
I
don't
want
to
see
it
go
unnoticed,
but
I
do
get.
L
Your
sentiment
continue
to
obviously
have
the
ceo
look
at
our
city
finances,
but
I
do
know
it's
an
area
that
my.
E
You
could
cause
a
president
yeah,
I'm
just
wondering.
Would
this
be
because
it's
a
road
impact
fee?
Would
it
be
usable
for
anything
else,
but
that
I
know
we've
earmarked
certain
things
and,
and
you
can't
just
pull
them
back,
so
I
would
move
to
the
administration
through
the
chair
just
wondering
if
this
is
one
of
those
items.
F
F
D
Just
to
answer
mike
favicio's
question
or
give
him
a
little
money
from
this
fund,
the
last
time
we
used
it,
you
probably
remember,
was
to
repave
lipid
avenue.
D
E
Well,
I
I
you
know,
I
I
think
that
I
know
the
area
is
a
little
bit
trouble
problematic
for
for
traffic
and
it's
going
to
take
a
few
years,
so
this
is
kind
of
a
small
amount
actually
to
you
know
to
get
it
started.
Maybe
you
know
they
can
see
what
has
to
happen
next
year,
but
anyway,
I
think
I'm
going
to
support
it
anyway.
B
AE
AE
Y
C
E
AE
AE
Y
E
J
E
5-20-04
ordinance
an
amendment
of
chapter
17
code
of
the
city
of
cranston
2005,
entitled
zoning
special
use
permit
sponsored
by
mayor
fung.
This
was
heard
and
motion
to
approve
at
this
point.
K
D
J
D
D
Are
there
are
no
changes
here
and
we
just
go
with
the
after
the
section
that's
proposed
by
the
by
mr
murray.
E
Yeah
I
threw
the
chair
to.
I
don't
know
if
director
fazzullo
was
on
or
the
director
of
administration,
but
I'm
not
sure
what
the
you
know.
What
the
impact
of
this
amendment
is
other
than
to
just
basically
ban
looks
like
it's
banning
this
type
of
action
in
the
the
rural
sections
of
the
city.
AF
Mr
chairman,
I
had
no
knowledge
of
this
amendment.
Prior
to
this
meeting,
it
was
brought
to
my
attention
about
6
30
tonight.
I
don't
really
have
very
much
to
say
on
it
other
than
that.
This
would
take
a
lot
of
time
and
energy
to
research,
this
and
vet
this
through
legal,
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
causing
more
problems
for
the
city.
D
You
know
I
mean
what
it
it
says
mike
is:
there
are
specific
in
the
ordina
in
the
code
of
ordinances,
there
are
specific
setbacks
for
rural
roads
and
that
are
greater
than
the
setbacks
elsewhere
in
order
to
preserve
the
rural
quality
of
of
western
cranston.
D
So
this
would
bar
getting
a
dimensional
variance
on
those
roads
that
are
listed
here
of
the
farm
route
and
well,
you
can
read
the
ones
that
are
listed
so
as
as
it
relates
to
I
know.
We've
we've
talked
about
a
pending
ground
mounted
solar
project
at
the
cranston
country
club.
D
What
it
would
relate
there
is,
it
would
not
bar
them
from
having
one
it
would
prevent
them
from
having
one
in
that
setback,
so
it
would
prevent
them
from
having
one
in
60
foot
setback
on
burlington
road.
You
could
have
one
somewhere
else
if
they
got
a
special
use.
Permit
that
that's
the
intention
of
the
ordinance
is
to
preserve
the
rural
quality
of
these
these
roads
and
which,
as
doug
doe
mentioned,
is
a
very
strong
part
of
the
comprehensive
plan.
D
So
I
would
also
have
questions
if,
if
this
amendment
did
not
pass,
if
it
would
be,
could
be
viewed
as
a
change
in
the
comprehensive
plan
if
the
zoning
board
granted
the
dimensional
variance
of
in
the
in
any
case
on
those
roads.
D
A
provision
like
this
that's
going
to
destroy
the
potentially
destroy
the
rural
quality
of
of
western
cranston,
which
is
really
a
valuable
asset
to
the
city,
and
we
should
protect
it
rather
than
assault
it.
Solar
projects
and
and
inappropriate
development
of
the
vice
president
yeah.
E
My
the
only
concern,
I
think
that
isn't
this
a
mutually
exclusive
issue,
I
mean
this
is
just
a
process
issue
from
what
I
recall
that
it
was
where
you
could
do
the
dimensional
and
the
special
use
permit.
At
the
same
time,
it
didn't
mean
that
you
automatically
granted
it.
It
just
meant
that
it
could
be
done
at
the
same
time
to
avoid
any
any
real
problems.
D
Well,
I
guess
again
I'm
the
repeating
thoughts
of
doug
doe,
but
what
it?
What
it's
attempting
to
say
is
that
there
is.
There
is
some
value
in
doing
those
two
things
at
the
same
time
the
special
use
permit
and
the
dimensional
variance,
but
that
that
should
not
be
allowed
in
the
case
of
the
the
setbacks
in
on
these
certain
roads.
So
it's
a
yes
to
the
process,
but
not
in
this.
In
this
instance,
the
process
would
not
be
allowed
in
that
the
merged
process
would
not
be
allowed.
In
that
case,.
E
K
Thank
you,
president.
I'd
like
to
hear
some
more
from
mr
pazzullo
on
this.
You
seem
to
have
some
concerns,
both
legal
and
otherwise.
In
terms
of
this
amendment,
can
you
give
us
some
more
of
your
input
into
this.
AF
AF
One
of
my
first
thoughts
is
that
it's
it's
kind
of
a
regular
for
the
council
to
come
up
with
an
ordinance
and
then
say
that
the
zoning
board
cannot
rule
on
variances.
From
said
ordnance,
that's
you
know.
I
I'm
not
sure
that
we
can't
do
that,
but
it's
it's
kind
of
irregular,
so
we
have
to
look
at
that
and
yeah.
It
says
I
I
would.
I
would
echo
councilman
favichio's
point
that
this
is.
This
is
almost
a
different
ordinance
and
we're
talking
about
the
dimensional
in
the
special
units.
AF
Now
for
three
months
and
now
this
is
brought
out
and
it's
it's
a
very
different
type
of
ordinance.
That
really
only
has
to
do
with
one
sliver
of
one
special
use
in
one
part
of
the
city.
This
is
the
the
ordinance
that's
on
the
table
now
affects
applications
throughout
the
the
city
for
special
use.
That
might
also
need
dimensional
variants,
as
we've
described
before.
The
idea
of
the
the
scenic
roadways
is
really
not.
You
know
for
one
particular
application,
it's
it's
yes,
I
I
can.
AF
AF
G
Sorry,
thank
you,
mr
council.
President.
I'm
gonna
be
voting
against
this
amendment
tonight,
just
to
carve
out
one
section
of
the
city.
You
know
when
this
with
dimensional
variances
are
allowed
in
30
other
cities
and
towns,
and
this
would
allow
it
across
our
whole
city
for
people
to
apply
to
it.
There'd
still
be
public
hearings
on
anybody.
That
applies
for
a
dimensional
variance.
It
goes
to
the
zoning
board,
so
I
will
be
voting
against
this
amendment.
Thank
you.
B
C
D
We
were
told
by
you
that
there
had
been
a
part-time
employee
of
the
planning
department
who
had
gone
through
the
code
of
ordinances
and
had
highlighted
this
as
a
as
a
problem
as
something
that
needed
to
be
solved
because
there
had
been
a
court
case,
I
believe,
18
or
19
years
ago,
on
this
issue,
and
then
that
was
the
first
time
it
came
up
and
then,
in
the
second
time
it
came
up.
D
AF
There's
no
contradiction
here
whatsoever.
Councilman,
we
talked
about
this
in
august,
drew
farmer
who
is
the
associate
planner.
He
was
tasked
with
reviewing
the
zoning
code.
It
was
flagged
by
the
office.
It
wasn't
about
a
court
case
from
20
years
ago.
It
was
it
was
flagged
because
it
was
something
that
was
still
in
our
code
in
2020
that
didn't
really
make
any
sense
and
there's
no
really
value
added
to
it.
It
was
flagged
at
that
time.
The
ordinance
that's
before
us
tonight
for
for
a
vote
was
not
sponsored
by
the
planning
department.
AF
We
did
not
write
the
ordinance,
however,
the
ordinance
as
submitted
we
support,
because
we
had
already
identified
the
need
to
remove
this
language
from
the
zoning
code
and
amend
this
to
be
consistent
with
all
the
other
cities
and
towns
of
scale
that
are
doing
development
in
in
this
manner.
It's
a
relic,
it's
a
problem
and
that's
why
we
supported
it,
and
tonight
we
came
to
you
with
a
second
recommendation
that
was
requested
by
the
by
the
city
council
and
we've
prepared
that
report.
AF
If
you'd
like
to
talk
about
that,
but
this
other
stuff
that
was
discussed
in
august,
I
don't
think
there's
been
any
contradiction
whatsoever.
So
you
know
if
we'd
like
to
talk
about
the
ordinance
that's
on
the
table.
You
know
where
we're
here
at
your
disposal.
K
D
AE
J
N
J
AE
Y
G
E
AD
Council
president,
yes
I'll,
just
add
something
similar
to
what
I
said.
I
think
when
this
was
before
us
the
last
time
you
know,
I
I
don't
pretend
to
be
an
expert
on
all
of
these
things.
AD
I
think
that
it's
incumbent
on
us
to
at
least
for
me,
not
representing
this
ward
or
you
know
my
constituency,
not
particularly
being
impacted
by
this
piece
of
legislation
that
the
people,
the
people
that
would
be
impacted
by
this-
have
all
resoundedly
been
opposed
to
this,
and
so
for
that
I'm
going
to
be
voting
against
it
tonight.
C
N
I
just
want
to
get
some
clarification
as
it
stands
right
now.
The
the
the
proposed
language
before
us
pretty
much
if
this
was
to
say
move
forward
and
pass
say
today
at
that
point,
then
the
zoning
board
would
then
decide
if
they
could
give
a
dimensional
variance
and
also
decide
if
they
can
give
a
special
use.
Permit
correct,
correct
I'm
just
trying
to
okay,
so
I
so
I
have
so.
My
whole
concern
is
the
members
of
the
zoning
board
are
appointed
by
the
city
council
members.
N
I
believe-
and
I
I
I'm
not
sure-
and
I
again
I'm
still
learning
as
I
go,
but
I
believe
maybe
the
mayor
has
an
appointment
or
two
or
so
as
well,
that
they
could
a
point
on
there,
and
so,
as
council
members,
we
have
to
make
sure
that
when
we
also
appoint
members
to
the
zoning
board
that
we
are
appointing
members
to
the
board
of
whom
we
believe
has
obviously
the
best
interest
for
the
city.
N
That
has
the
background
and
that
we
trust
to
make
sure
that
if
a
decision
such
as
special
use
permit
or
eventual
variances
is
given
that
we
can
allow
them
to
also
make
that
important
decision
for
us.
Yes,
we
are
an
elected
body,
but
it's
also
as
elected
body.
We
are
appointing
members
to
the
zoning
board
of
review,
of
which,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
I
think
we
have
one
coming
up
this
evening
or
two.
N
So
it's
it's
not
this.
It
seems
like
this
per
this.
This
amendment,
or
or
just
this
language
is
more
so
impacting,
and
I
could
be
totally
wrong
more
so
of
the
western
side
of
cranston
councilman
brady
you're
on
the
call.
N
I
don't
know
what
you're
not
to
put
you
on
the
spot,
but
what
your
thoughts
are
on
this,
given
the
fact
that
it's
also
your
your
award
that
you're,
representing
because
the
way
I'm
I'm
leaning
towards
right
now,
is
that,
if
we're
able
to
decide
on
who
serves
and
we're
voting
on
election
of
city
officials
to
serve
on
boards
and
the
zoning
board,
are
appointments
of
the
city
council
members
of
the
city
council,
then
we're
obviously
making
sure
that
we
put
there
the
most
qualified
folks,
individuals
that
are
the
best
interest
for
the
city
and
that
we
can
trust
their
decision
as
to
whether
or
not
to
provide
special
use.
N
So
I
don't
counsel
men
brady,
if
I,
if
I
may,
through
the
chair,
just
to
get
a
sense
of
because
it's
I
feel
like
this
is
this:
could
impact
that
area
a
little
bit
more
than
in
our
area
and
and
in
the
eastern
side,
not
to
say
that
it's
100
on
the
western
side?
But
just
because
it's
more
of
a
rural
area
than
ours
than
mine
is.
L
Sure,
council
president,
do
you
mind
if
I
respond
councilwoman
vargas?
Thank
you
for
bringing
up
that
important
question.
Obviously
tonight
is
my
first
potential
appointments.
Just
like
yourself,
I
was
planning
on
on
speaking
on
that
later.
I
think
it's
very
important
for
us
to
have
a
role
in
how
on
who's
on
those
boards.
I
think
it's
important,
especially
especially
with
such
an
inexperienced
council
that
we're
about
to
have
to
surround
ourselves
with
some
people
with
experience.
L
Obviously
it's
just
myself,
you
john
and
chris
returning
these
boards
I'd
love
to
the
opportunity
to
learn
more
about
as
somewhat
of
a
rookie
council
person
for
the
most
part
I
haven't
had
much
say
in
in
in
those
appointments,
thus
far,
so
it's
crucially
important
that
we
continue
to
you
know,
educate
ourselves
on
these
boards
and
educate
ourselves
on
how
these
processes
work
for
this
particular
amendment
tonight
I
you
know.
Obviously
I
sat
we
took
the
time
we
went
out
to
the
site.
We
we
we
saw
it.
L
I've
spoke
to
all
the
residents.
I
went
door
to
door
so
for
this
particular
amendment
I
haven't
had
any
opposition,
with
the
exception
of
of
mr
doe,
who
I
think
has
been
very
passionate
about
our
award
and
I've
taken
a
lot
of
his
input
and
obviously
we've
we've
collectively
done
a
moratorium
and
and
fought
for
the
residents
of
ward
four.
In
this
particular
case,
you
know,
that's
I'm
gonna.
L
This
is
probably
the
first
time
I've
I've
disagreed
with
mr
dill,
so
you
know
as
far
as
your
direct
question
about
you
know
how
these
boards
matter,
I
I
listen
to
you
on
the
phone
and
and
I'm
gonna,
listen
to
you
more
further
on
in
this
conversation
and
and
we'll
likely
see
how
the
support
goes.
Obviously,.
L
Yeah,
no,
I
mean
I
knocked
door-to-door,
the
four
direct
residents
right.
There
welcomed
it.
I
I
did
not
speak
to
the
actual
resident
right
on
the
country
club,
but
the
four
direct
residents
across
the
street
within
that
cul-de-sac,
three
out
of
four
were
home
and
I
spoke
to
them
directly.
C
All
right
I'll
add
my
two
cents
on
this.
You
know
I
can
remember
2014
like
it
was
yesterday
when
the
the
planning
director
came
in
to
la
pola
and
told
us
that
we
needed
to
change
our
solar
code
to
match
the
state
and
it
wasn't
really
a
big
deal
and
it
didn't
matter
much
and
it
wouldn't
change
the
royal
character
of
western
cranston
and
everything
would
be,
would
be
great
and
we'd
be
before
green
energy.
C
Right
mike-
and
I
said
yes,
I
am
and
green
energy
is
important
and
we
had
solar
proliferation
in
western
cranston
and
two
people
came
forward
at
the
time
and
said
this
is
wrong,
and
that
was
council,
member,
steve
stykos
and
the
head
of
the
west
bay
land.
Trust
with
time
was
on
the
conservation
commission
douglas
doe,
and
I
listened
to
the
administration
and
director
umpola
at
the
time,
and
I
voted
for
solar
change
that
we
had
to.
C
Basically,
as
council
president,
I
had
to
pass
in
a
moratorium
and
and
undo
the
work
that
the
council
did,
because
it
was
wrong.
I
will
not
let
that
happen
again.
I
personally
have
received
more
than
five
complaints
about
this
potential
issue
from
neighboring
residents,
the
spot
zoning
aspect
of
it
allowing
someone
to
build
a
workaround
after
we
did
everything
to
change
the
solar
code.
The
fact
that
this
was
written
by
the
attorney,
who
is
representing
cranston
country
club
to
get
the
zoning
variants
bothers
me.
C
This
happened
once
before,
and
we
ended
up
with
eight
solar
farms
in
western
cranston,
and
everyone
said
we
wouldn't
so
on
history,
I'm
going
to
deflect
the
councilmember
steve,
steichost
and
doug
doe
this
time,
people
who
told
me
in
2014
I
was
wrong
and
I
should
have
voted
that
way.
I'm
going
to
listen
to
them
tonight.
Vote
no.

Okay,
7-20
ordnance,
amendment
of
chapter
17
go
to
the
city
of
cranston
and
title
zoning:
citizen's
guide
to
land
development
process,
sponsored
by
council
members,
hopkins
and
paplowska
sighted
approval.
G
Okay,
thank
you
all
right.
I
promise
to
be
brief.
This
this
came
from
fruition
from
work.
The
charter
review
commission
did
instead
of
putting
this
in
the
charter,
which
is
quicker
for
us
to
do
it
by
ordinance
and
it
seems
like
a
better
fit.
So
I
urge
passage
and
thank
my
colleagues
in
advance.
Thank
you.

We
provided
information
regarding
the
harmful
physiological
neurological
and
other
health
effects
of
this
pulsed
data,
modulated
microwave
radio
frequency
radiation
information
regarding
the
potential
for
the
lowering
of
property
values
and
thus
property
taxes,
and
also
about
potential
fiscal
liability.
The
city
might
incur
from
class
action
lawsuits.
V
We
assert
that
these
are
serious
matters
that
affect
every
resident
of
cranston,
as
well
as
our
precious
environment,
and
we
expect
our
public
officials
to
acknowledge
that
there
has
been
enough
evidence
presented
to
at
least
warrant
a
follow-up.
I
would
also
like
to
make
a
statement
about
certain
errors
and
omissions
in
the
public
minutes
of
this
august
24th
council
meeting.
V
V
C
V
C
Anyone
else
to
speak
during
public
comment:
what
twice.
L
Council
president,
I
had
a
resident
that
wanted
to
speak.
Mr
felino,
I
don't
know
if
he's
having
trouble
or
he
tried
to
speak
earlier,
did
he
email
you,
mr
ella,
or
call
you.
H
I've
been
emailing
him,
I
believe,
he's
a
panelist
now
and
should
be
able
to
speak
if
he
wants
to
do.
C
Piccolino
he's
on
before.
C
H
C
He
can
he
can
get
up
and
running
we'll
let
him
bounce
in
later
in
the
meeting,
because
I
don't
think
anybody
will
object
to
a
resident
talking
who
just
has
having
a
technology
issue
we'll
go
on
to
election
of
city
officials.
We
have
three
appointments
with
the
zoning
board
of
review.
C
We
you'd
like
I'm,
I
was
going
to
take
the
role
and
I
assumed
everybody
would
vote
yes,
it's
your
appointment,
usually
with
reward
appointments.
We
we
have
the
resumes.
If
anyone
has
any
questions
based
on
the
information
they
receive.
Now
would
be
the
time
to
ask.
L
There's
two
appointments.
President
there's
two
appointments
for
this
particular
state:
that's
maybe
why
the
discussion
is
requested.
C
There
is
so
I've
asked
the
the
award
council
person
to
get
preferential
treatment
to
go
first,
so
we'll
hear
hers.
If
hers
fails,
then
yours
gets
to
go.
N
Thank
you,
mr
council.
President.
Y
C
N
Thank
you,
so
the
zoning
board
of
review
for
those
who
are
not
aware
city
residents
that
are
on
the
call
it
has
appointments
by
the
city
council
members,
the
member
that
was
on
there,
which
was
a
ward
one
member
moved
out
of
the
city,
and
so
there
is
a
vacancy
to
fulfill
the
unexpired
term
of
that
person
who
is
currently
bringing
on
the
zoning
board.
N
The
city
council
can
nominate
someone
to
serve
on
the
zoning
board
of
review.
In
this
case,
I've
moved
forward
to
nominate
for
the
approval
and
vote
of
the
passage
of
the
council.
Members
from
mr
zambrano
who's
been
a
member
of
ward
one
community
for
an
extremely
very
long
time
in
his
family.
N
He
would
be
an
asset
to
the
zoning
board
to
again
fulfill
the
vacancy
and
unexpired
term.
I
believe
it
was
member
number
five
who
again
I
mentioned,
moved
out
of
the
city,
the
boarding
commission
in
the
city.
I
think
it
is
no
secret
to
any
one
of
us
or
new
any
type
of
news
to
us.
N
The
fact
that
our
boards
and
commission
need
to
be
diversified
in
our
city,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
I've
committed
to
the
ward
one
constituency
has
been
to
make
sure
that
in
any
place
or
point
that
I
can
reflect
diversity
and
be
able
to
appoint
someone.
I'd
definitely
do
it
in
this
case
with
boards
in
commission
those
you
see
the
members
of
the
council,
you
know
how
passionate
I
am.
So
I
am
a
border
boarding
commission.
I
believe
this
past
year.
N
Council
member
donegan
had
recently
mentioned
earlier
during
the
call
that
one
cranston
did
a
survey
where
some
of
the
members
of
the
council
had
submitted
submitted
their
information,
and
it
was
very
enlightening
in
indeed,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
those
who
submitted
or
anyone
who's
read
it
or
anyone
who's
posted,
whether
it's
social
media
or
anywhere
along
the
lines
that
diversity
matters.
And
we
want
to
make
sure
it's
inclusive,
that
the
gaps
we
need
to
address
the
gaps
and
the
representation
that
are
by
by
by
targeting
and
our
reaching.
N
You
know
not
just
people
of
color
but
also
women
and
promoting
civic
participation
and
and
making
sure
that
we
have
representations
from
different
perspectives
and
communities
as
as
we
have
here
before
us.
This
evening.
N
We
have,
I
believe
there
is
a
member
of
ward
4
who
served
on
the
zoning
board
of
review
and
had
just
recently
moved
over
to
ward
1,
which,
for
the
record,
I
called
and
welcomed
the
member
to
to
edgewood
to
the
eastern
side
of
cranston.
N
Person
wanting
to
serve
on
a
border
commission
because
we
want
to
make
sure,
like
I
said
that
we
have
civic
engagement,
but
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
can
diversify
our
boards
and
commission,
particularly
with
this
appointment,
where
the
geographical
residency
according
to
this
vacancy
is
that
the
person
must
live
in
ward,
one
and
two
of
which
two
of
the
names
that
are
being
nominated
for
this
position.
Both
are
ward
one.
N
But
in
this
case
mr
sombrano
brings
not
only
a
per
not
only
a
diverse
perspective
but
as
but
a
diverse
background,
and
you
know
he's
he's
latino
and
I
think
that
he
is
also
qualified
to
be
serving
on
the
zoning
board
of
review.
As
we
all
just
had
recently
a
conversation.
How
the
zoning
board
of
review
is
one
of
the
top
important
boards
in
in
our
city
not
to
degrade
any
other
border
commission
in
our
city.
N
But
it's
definitely
up
there
in
terms
of
decisions
for
the
city,
and
so
mrs
zimbrano
has
that
that
background-
and
I
again
when
one
of
the
things
that
I
wanted
to
say
too,
is
that
there's
been
many
names
that
have
come
before
us
of
appointments
and
when
a
council
member,
particularly
who
lives
in
that
area,
has
submitted
a
name.
N
I
truly
respect
that,
and
I
truly
value
the
judgment
of
that
other
counsel
person
to
make
sure
that
they're,
putting
or
nominating
a
name
of
which
they
think
the
person
is,
is
qualified
not
to
say
that
the
other
person
that
is
going
to
be
who's
who's
who's
come
before
us
as
well,
for
I
guess,
for
a
discussion
or
vote
to
be
on
there.
Person
is
also
qualified,
but
as
award
one
council
member.
N
I
would
like
to
see
some
diversity
in
our
zoning
board
of
review,
as
well
as
many
other
boards
and
commissions
throughout
the
city,
and
I
received
a
listing
from
from
leanne
with
an
updated
listing
of
vacancies
that
we
have
aborting
commission
and
I
highly
encourage
many
of
you
to
take
a
look
at
it
as
well
and
fill
those
in
it.
Is
you
know
it's
it's?
How
can
I
say
it?
N
This
is
a
person,
who's
qualified
and
a
person
who's
who
has
a
background
who's
latino
that
we
can
actually
make
sure
that
we
say
we
are
diversifying
our
boards
and
commission
as
a
start,
and
so
I
shouldn't
even
say
the
word
qualified
you
know
because
he,
but
is
the
matter
of
the
point,
is
that
I
hope
that
I
can
count
on
your
support
of
from
from
you
from
all
of
you
on
the
council
and
supporting
carlos
and
brannon
to
be
serving
under
the
unexpired
term
for
the
zoning
board
of
review.
N
I'm
not
sure
if
any
of
you
had
had
the
opportunity
to
take
a
look
at
his
resume,
but
I
believe
leon
share
that
with
with
everyone
and.
N
I
hope
I
can
count
on
on
your
support
as
a
ward,
1
council
member
to
make
sure
that
we
diversify
the
boards
in
commission
as
we
move
forward,
and
my
hope
is
that
if
we
may
still
have
actually
a
vacancy
as
an
alternate
that
we
can
fill
that
in
as
well,
whether
or
not
the
other
person
who's
currently
serving
would
like
to
serve
on
there.
N
I'm
not
trying
to
discourage
anyone
from
being
on
a
border
commission,
because
if
because
of
the
color
of
the
skin,
or
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
gets
a
chance
to
serve
on
a
board.
But
if
I
have
the
opportunity
to
make
sure
that
we
can
diversify
it,
I
need
to
make
sure
that
you
guys
know
that
I
will
make
sure
that
we
diversify
our
boarding
in
commission
as
a
start.
So
that's
all
I
gotta
say
I
guess.
C
Thank
you
councilman.
I
see
donegan
and
I
see
councilor,
donnie
and
cousin
hopkins
I'll
get
to
you
guys
in
a
second,
but
before
I
do,
since
we
do
have
two
people
going
for
the
same
seat,
it
is
germaine
to
discuss
why
the
other
person
might
be
better
for
the
seat
at
this
time
because
they
both
are
going
for
the
same
specific
seat.
C
I
know
sometimes
you
you
talk
about
things
being
drained,
but
since
this
is
the
same
seat,
if
you
wanted
to
make
a
pitch
for
the
other
candidate,
you
can't,
even
though
this
one
is
before
councilwoman.
AD
Yeah,
I'm
just
I'm
just
gonna,
say
I'm
gonna
be
supporting
the
appointment
of
of
carlos
sambrano
this
evening
and
it's
in
no
way
a
reflection
of
you,
mr
barbary.
Obviously,
I've
I've
known
you
and
you've
known
my
family
for
a
very
long
time,
and
I
appreciate
everything
that
you
do
for
the
city.
AD
AD
You
know,
I
I
think
it's
councilwoman
vargas
should
have
the
person
in
that
position
that
she
trusts
the
most
and
that's
not
a
a
slight
at
you
in
in
in
any
way
whatsoever.
So
I
hope
there's
a
way
we
can
get
you
on.
Keep
you
on
the
board
as
an
alternative
or
or
or
whatnot,
and
I
appreciate
again
everything
that
you
do
for
the
city.
I
am
going
to
be
supporting
carlos
san
bruno
this
evening.
K
Thank
you,
president
lomas.
You
know
how
much
I
care
about
your
your
concerns
on
this,
but
I
want
to
bring
up
the
the
other
point.
First
of
all,
you're,
not
the
only
one
that
represents
ward
one.
We
have
three
city-wide
candidates
that
also
represent
ward
one
as
well
and
have
just
as
much
of
an
influence
on
those
selections
as
well
in
terms
of
dealing
with
the
problems
and
issues.
K
I
just
spent
the
entire
week
working
on
issues
down
in
stillhouse
cove,
and
I
spent
much
of
my
time
on
the
council
working
on
issues
in
ward
one.
So,
even
though
you
represent
that
area,
I
feel
I
have
just
as
much
of
a
concern
about
things
that
happen
in
that
area
and
again
looking
at
diversity.
K
We
we
have
a
couple
of
women
that
are
already
on
the
zoning
board
and
I
don't
know
mr
zambrano,
but
what
I
did
look
at
on
both
of
their
resumes
was
experience,
and
I
think
that
has
to
count
in,
and
you
mentioned,
that
it
was
a
board
that
was
extremely
important
to
the
city,
and
I
just
don't
understand
why
we
would
take
somebody
like
mr
barbari,
who
has
loads
of
experience,
having
worked
on
this
committee
and
and
not
put
him
at
the
top
of
the
list
so
in
in
this
particular
instance.
K
As
much
as
I,
I
will
continue
to
support
diversity
throughout
our
city.
I
think
experience
is
just
as
much
if
not
more
important
in
this
election.
L
You,
council,
president,
echoing
what
council,
councilman
hopkins
said
I
would
have
to
agree.
I
think
diversity
should
continue
to
be
in
the
forefront
of
all
of
our
conversations,
and
I
think
councilwoman
vargas
has
done
a
tremendous
job,
making
sure
that
it
is-
and
you
know
this
is
nothing
against
mr
zambrano.
I
think
he
has
a
great
resume
and
I.
AB
L
Whoever
is
appointed
tonight,
the
other
one
will
remain
as
an
alternate
and
we
can
continue
to
educate
whoever
that
may
be
and
keep
them
involved
in
the
city
because,
as
we
all
know,
it's
very
difficult
to
get
people
involved
on
these
boards
and
commissions.
And
that
being
said,
you
know,
the
person
that
I
I
suggested
tonight
has
an
attendance
record
that
has
been
great
he's,
never
missed
a
meeting
from
my
understanding
he's
very
passionate
about
it.
L
He's
taken
the
effort
to
call
me
on
numerous
occasions
now
throughout
this
process
and
continue
to
say
it
show
to
me
that
he's
passionate
and
wants
to
remain
in
that
seat.
I
did
live
in
ward,
one,
certainly
not
the
ward.
L
One
representative,
you
know,
99
of
the
time
I've
told
councilwoman
vargas
that
I
will
resort
to
her
opinion,
and
you
know
I
will
resort
to
her
what
she
wants
to
do
for
that
award
as
she
is
representative
of
that
ward,
we're
all
passionate
about
cranston,
and
I
just
don't
want
to
see
someone
with
experience.
You
know
lose
interest
in
city,
government
or
city
boards,
so
for
in
this
particular
case
you
know
I'm
hoping
that
they
both
can
eventually
serve.
D
Yeah
I
we
need
to
look
at
the
way
that
this
ordinance
was
written
and
it
was
written
so
that
there
would
be
a
geographic
diversity
on
the
zoning
board
and
to
have
one
council.
Member
on
the
same
meeting.
Proposing
two
members
of
the
zoning
board
is
is
just
from
two
different
wards
is,
is
just
not
appropriate.
D
D
D
You
know
that's
just
that's
just
frankly
wrong
and
if
somebody
from
ward
one
moved
into
ward
four-
and
I
was
proposing
or
councilwoman
vargas
was
proposing
that
that
person
bump
out
mr
barbari,
that
would
be
seen
as
completely
inappropriate.
So,
let's,
let's
look
at
the
what
this
is
intended
to
do?
It's
to
spread
the
authority
of
the
zoning
board
out
geographically
in
the
city,
and
I
think
when
we
talk
about
diversity,
we
can't
keep
going
to
the
same
people
for
these
appointments.
D
D
D
Put
geography
aside
and
vote
for
mr
zambrano,
who,
ms
vargas,
I
think
she's
found
a
really
qualified
candidate
and
we
got
to
recognize
that
and
give
him
a
chance
to
be
part
of
the
decision-making
process
in
cranston.
E
It
did
yeah
yeah,
I
mean
well,
I
don't,
I
don't
think
it
matters.
I
mean
whether
you've
been
there
three
months
or
three
years.
If
you
choose
to
live
in
one
part
of
the
city
you're
eligible
to
vote
in
that
part
of
the
city.
As
long
as
you
registered
in
time-
and
you
know,
we've
had
people
move
around
the
city
that
are
on
boards
and
commissions,
they
don't
have
the
restrictions
that
we
do.
I
don't
think
there's
any
restriction
on
on
where
you
live
or
whether
the
appointments
come
just
from
that
ward.
E
I
mean,
I
don't
recall
actually,
but
I
think
the
principal
issue
here
is
is
experience.
I
think
we
need
to,
especially
since
it's
a
quasi-judicial
type
of
board,
I
mean
they,
they
have
autonomy.
E
We
can't
dictate
to
the
zoning
board
what
they
do
and
their
and
their
decision-making,
so
they
are
very
autonomous
and
it
it
is
a
difficult
job
and
you
need
experience,
does
matter
and
I've
always
supported
diversity
on
the
on
the
committees.
Council
mustegos
and
I
did
agree
on
that.
I
think
in
our
first
very
first
session.
E
We
both
thought
that
there
should
be
more
women
and
more
minorities
on
many
of
the
commissions,
so
I
I
mean
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
with
trying
to
diversify.
I
just
think
that
the
the
experience
factor
is
important
and
if
you
look
at,
we
have
a
third
person
on
the
on
the
list
tonight,
who's
actually
a
civil
engineer
which
is
impressive,
so
I'm
not
sure
what
I'm
gonna
do,
but
I
I
I
think
we
you
know
we
need
to
look
at
experience.
C
G
You
are
council
president.
This
is
a
tough
vote.
This
is
a
really
tough
one.
I
know
mr
barbary
has
done
a
great
job
on
the
zoning
board.
I
know
he
shows
up
to
meetings,
he's
very
thorough
and
has
represented
the
city.
Well,
and
I
I
you
know,
I
also
respect
councilmember
vargas's
pick
and
that
person
is
very
qualified
too
to
do
this,
but
I
also
don't
like
to
to
just
take
that
knowledge
based
on
that
institutional
knowledge
and
and
put
them,
you
know
or
not,
not
elect
them.
G
I
know
that
he
represented
ward
4
or
that
area
the
western
side
of
the
city,
but
he
moved
toward
one,
and
I
don't
think
he
would
ever
have
he'd
have
the
best
interest
of
ward
1
at
heart
in
ward
if
he
was
to
serve
so
this
is
a
tough
one
for
me.
I
certainly
understand
all
your
points,
council,
member
vargas,
and
I
just
don't
like
that.
Just
somebody
who's
willing
to
serve
someone
who
has
served
and
served
with
honor
and
dignity,
it's
tough
to
just
not
vote
for
them
again.
AD
Yeah,
I'm
just
gonna,
add
this
mr
zambrano's
experience
and
to
be
completely
honest,
I
I've
never
met
mr
zambrano,
but
his
resume
us
air
force
reserves
an
mba
home
inspector
realtor.
AD
That
all
sounds
like
pretty
pertinent
experience
for
the
zoning
board
of
review,
and
I
just
again
I'm
just
going
to
reiterate
this
when
it
comes
to
these
things
and
there
are
appointments
by
ward
and
you're
the
elected
ward
person.
You
want
the
person
serving
on
that
commission.
That's
representing
your
award
that
you
know
is
going
to
have
the
best
interest
that
that
you
can,
that
you
have
a
relationship
with
you
can
trust
you
can
have
those
conversations
with
and
that
you
know
they're.
You
know
them.
AD
I
think
that
helps
give
security
to
knowing
that
person
is
there
with
the
best
interest
of
of
the
ward,
and
this
is
I
I
I'm
not
saying
it.
AD
I'm
not
saying
that
mr
barbari
would
not
have
the
best
interest
of
the
ward,
but
I
wouldn't
go,
and
I
have
a
tremendous
amount
of
respect
and
consider
all
of
you
friends,
but
I
would
not
go
if
there's
an
appointment
to
be
made
for
ward
4
or
word
5
or
word
six.
I
wouldn't
start
go
and
finding
nominees
to
appoint
to
those
positions.
V
AC
AC
Thank
you,
while
I'm
new
to
the
process,
but
I
would
like
to
know
what
was
the
president
in
proposing
someone
to
the
board?
Is
there
any
rules
how
to
we
follow
those
rules
in
proposing
someone's?
AC
So
I
would
like
to
know
that
and
whether
I
appreciate
I
know
mr
barbari,
but
I
don't
I
met
with
him.
I
know
he's
really
qualified,
but
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
what
will
be
set
up
as
a
president
in
going
over
the
choice
of
the
world
elected.
C
Thank
you,
so
I
can
go
through
that,
so
mr
barbari
ended
up
moving
from
ward
4
to
ward
1
in
doing
so
resigned
his
seat
that
was
associated
with
ward
4..
C
C
I
believe
the
email
to
several
members
of
the
council-
and
I
think
mr
andrew
brady
just
was
the
one
that
happened
to
admit
it.
So
we
have
a
case
here.
That
is
not
a
typical
case
of
an
opening
in
an
award
where
you
had
someone
resign
and
then
the
council
person
submitted
a
name.
This
is
a
very
different
kind
of
case
where
you
had
someone
that
resigned
because
they
moved
or
was
in
the
process
of
resigning
because
they
moved
and
the
person
in
the
area
they're
moving
to
also
resigned.
C
So
he
made
the
request
that
he
continue
serving
on
the
board,
which
he
has
done
so
for
the
last.
I
think
three
years
without
issue,
I
think
he's
attended
almost
every
meeting,
so
the
request
made
sense
that
he
be
continued
to
allow
to
serve
on
that
board.
In
that
time,
council
of
the
vargas
found
someone
from
ward
one
and
submitted
that
that
name
as
well.
So
now
we
have
two
people
before
us
requesting
to
be
appointed
to
that.
N
N
Thank
you,
you
know
again
just
for
the
record
purpose
as
well.
I
am
not
whatsoever
degrading
the
experience
or
so
of
mr
barbari,
as
mentioned.
I
you
know
I
I
I
thank
him
for
his.
N
You
know
servers
in
education
as
well
and
in
his
time
on
the
zoning
board
of
review,
but
I
again
I
had
a
conversation
with
him
and
I
had
a
conversation
with
councilman
brady
as
well,
and
I
also
did
say
you
know,
there's
also
a
opening
position
as
an
alternate
and
whether
or
not
he
would
consider
it
seems
like
he'd,
rather
not
serve
on
the
as
an
alternate
member,
but
continue
to
serve
as
an
active
member,
but
I
also
forwarded
him
the
listing
as
well
as
I
would
with
with
anybody
that
I
you
know
that
the
listing
that
the
clerk
forwarded
over
to
me.
N
N
You
know
thinking
of
a
couple
of
potential
names
who
would
potentially
be
able
to
serve
on
it,
and
you
know
I
I,
mr
mr
zambrano
came
to
mind
and
just
because
he's
he's
been
living
in
the
ward,
you
know
he's
for
for
quite
some
time,
and
you
know
mr
barbari
has
been
serving
on
the
board,
for
maybe
I
think
maybe
this
is
his
first
or
second
term.
I'm
not
too
sure
to
be
quite
honest
with
you,
but
I
did
offer
having
him
serve
as
an
alternate.
N
So
just
just
for
the
record
on
that,
but
and
again
no
disrespect
to
mr
peary,
I
I
we.
We
welcome
everyone
to
edward
our
reward,
one
with
open
arms
and
to
mr
to
councilman
hopkins
point.
I
I
agree
with
you
right.
It's
you.
We
have
three
council
members
and
we
have
the
word
one
and
you
represent
the
entire
city,
but
I
my
on
my
end
too,
is
I
you
you
look
out
for
the
for
everyone
in
the
city.
N
My
best
interest
is
also
to
look
out
for
everyone
in
in
the
city
of
france
and
francis
can't.
When
I
take
a
vote,
it's
not
just
impacting
my
side
is
impacting
the
entire,
our
entire
city,
but
as
a
ward
one
resident.
I
need
to
make
sure
that
just
like
many
other
council
members
on
here
that
are
representing
their
respective
wards,
they
vote
or
listen
based
on
whether
it's
email
calls
that
they're
having
with
their
constituency
and
so
as
a
ward
one
council
member
I've
been
hearing,
let's
diversify
a
boarding
commission.
N
Well
here
is
an
opportunity,
I'm
not
going
to
bring
back
quotes
from
each
and
every
one
of
you,
because
I
don't
honestly,
I
would
be
paraphrasing
when
you're
talking
about
diversity.
Enough
is
enough.
Everybody
wants
diversity,
but
when
push
comes
to
shove,
no
one's
voting
for
diversity
at
all.
Right
now,
so
I
want
to
see
the
city
change
and
continue
to
move
forward
and
in
a
positive
way
where
we're
inclusive.
We
just
had
a
survey
that
was
presented
to
us
by
one
cranston.
M
N
But
enough
is
enough.
Let's
just
not
talk
the
talk.
We
have
a
lot
of
us.
A
lot
of
us
have
been
on
the
record
again
just
saying
I'm
willing
to
listen
to
the
community,
I'm
willing
to
make
sure
that
you
know
that
I'm
here
to
bring
people
to
the
table
from
all
backgrounds
by
listening
and
objectively
learning
from
all
conversations
councilman
brady.
You
mentioned
this
in
your
one
cranston
survey
and
here
is
a
zoning
board
of
review
appointment
to
diversify
our
boarding
commission
and
it's
not
just
to
diversify
it.
N
N
M
And
so
as
a
woman
of
color
as
a
latina
as
the
first
woman
of
color
to
be
elected
to
the
city
of
cranston
city
council,
let
me
remind
you
that
if
I
have
to
because
it
was
a
long
time
coming,
it
was
a
shame
that
we
can't
even
go
ahead
and
expand
in
our
horizon
and
make
sure
that
we
bring
people
of
color
to
represent
our
zoning
board
of
review,
to
represent
and
be
on
the
board
in
commission
representing
our
city
of
cranston.
It
is
2020
still
fighting
this
fight
hitting
me
where
we
are.
E
Yes,
cuz
just
just
one
comment:
both
both
councilman
donegan
and
councilman
stykos
at
one
point
defeated
african-american
candidates
in
their
races.
For
for
the
council,
so
I
mean
you
know
they
didn't
just
give
up,
because
I
mean
if
they
really
wanted
to
step
aside,
they
could
have,
but
they
you
know
they
ran
a
normal
race
for
for
a
council
seat
and
they
and
they
won.
So
you
know
I.
I
don't
think
that
there's
anything
inherently
wrong
with
mr
barbari.
E
My
preference
has
always
been
to
start
people
in
an
alternate
capacity
so
that
they
can
learn
kind
of
learn
the
ropes
because
it
is
a
really
there
are
some
serious
decisions
on
the
on
the
zoning
board.
But
you
know
I
you
know
it's
it's
a
tough
one,
because
we
have
two
two
qualified
people,
one
that's
served
three
years
and
one
that
hasn't
served
yet
and
that's
you
know
that's
the
dilemma
we
face
so
anyway.
E
Just
just
throw
that
in
there
just
because
it
is
something
that
happened
and
we've
we've
had
council
we've
had
candidates
on
our
side
that
have
been
african-american.
We
have
one
now
we've
tried
to
do
that,
every
election
cycle-
and
so
you
know
all.
N
Not
start
counting
how
many
people
who
we
have,
whether
you're,
color
or
not
running
for
office.
The
point
here
is
to
diversify
your
boards
in
commission,
with
all
the
respect
by
council
president
favicio,
it's
not
about
do.
You
know,
checking
off
the
check
box
right
this.
This
is
about
making
sure,
as
you
mentioned,.
N
You
know
diversifying
and
and
making
sure
that
you
know
we
have
the
opportunity
to
diversify
our
boarding,
commission
and,
and-
and
this
is
the
time
to
do
it,
and
so
again
I
respectfully
ask
for
you
to
and
not
not
you
in
general,
mr
favico
but
entire
council
to
look
beyond
and
look
at
your
platforms
as
your
door
knocking
and
what
you've
committed
to
and
make
sure
that
we're
appointing
people
on
there
there's
been
people,
who've
been
appointed
to
boards
and
commission
as
a
as
a
newbie,
and
they
didn't
start
off
as
alternates.
N
L
L
Well,
first
off
I,
I
truly
appreciate
councilwoman
vargas
and
her
passion
on
this
topic.
I
don't
think
any
you
know,
I
don't.
I
necessarily
think
it's
fair
to
mr
barbaria
to
say
that
if
we
vote
for
him,
it's
a
it's
a
racist
vote
or
it's
it's
not
voting
for
mrs
zambrano
she's
she's,
incredibly
passionate.
I
it
was
my
understanding.
This
was
not
a
ward
one
appointment.
This
was
a
council
appointment
and
we
could
have
this
discussion
and
I
appreciate
the
discussion
tom.
L
I
I
still
think
has
the
experience
and
and
I'm
passionate
about
it,
and
I
think
we
need
the
experience
and
I
don't
think
there
should
be
much
console
interference
from
when
I
started.
I
wasn't
even
sure
I
was
able
to
speak
to
that
board,
because
I
know
that
eventually
some
of
the
stuff
comes
to
us
and
there
couldn't
be
interference.
So
ethically,
I
wasn't
even
sure
what
that
had,
but
her
passion
and-
and
you
know
the
way
that
she
speaks
on
this.
I
think
she
makes
some
good
points.
L
I
think
I'm
gonna
speak
to
tom
and
I
think
tom
would
be
okay
with
being
an
alternate
like.
I
said,
though
the
guy
has
has
served
for
three
years
he's.
Obviously
a
principal
at
our
high
schools
he's
very
passionate
about
the
city
of
princeton.
I
don't
think
he
would
want
to
even
be
involved
in
a
conversation
where
it
talks
about.
You
know
him
being
in
consideration
against
a
diverse
candidate.
L
So
for
that
reason
in
itself
you
know
I'm
going
to
remove
him
from
consideration
and
I'm
going
to
take
councilwoman
councilwoman
vargas's
recommendation
tonight
and
I'll
be
voting
in
favor
of
him.
I
want
her
to
know
that
you.
AB
L
L
You
know
to
say
that
we're
voting
against
you
know
just
because
we're
not
voting
for
him
or
we're
necessarily
racist
or
not
helping
with
diversity,
and
maybe
that's
not
the
way
that
you
try
to
portray
it,
but
your
passion
coming
out.
It
seemed
that
way,
and
you
know
I'm
mildly
offended,
but
I
know
that's
not
who
you
are.
As
a
person,
we've
talked
many
many
times
offline.
I
consider
you
a
friend.
I
appreciate
your
passion.
L
I
appreciate
your
fight
and
you
know
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
I'm
going
to
be
moving
tom
from
consideration.
I
hope
you'll
consider
him
for
an
alternate.
Hopefully
they
can
work
together
and
he
can
help
show
him
the
ropes
moving
forward,
because
I
I
do
strongly
believe
we
need
some
experience.
C
With
the
with
the
removal
of
the
second
candidate,
I
see
no
further
discussion
to
be
acquired
in
this
topic.
Everyone's
spoken
once
in
accordance
with
our
rules
with
that
emotional
clerk
who
take
the
role.
D
AE
AE
Y
J
L
Y
C
Yes,
appointment
of
dean
to
drop
her,
I
can
never
say
dean's.
Last
name:
waterford,
member,
councilman,
brady,
the
emotional
approval.
L
L
Dean's
been
he's
lived
there,
his
whole
life,
and
I
know
him
personally.
He
has
kids
in
cranston.
He's
a
business
owner.
He's
an
engineering
background
civil
construction
management.
He
has
a
master's
he's
been
to
numerous
zoning
board
meetings,
he's
taken
a
a
vested
interest
in
it.
You
know
with
the
removal
of
tom
from
that
seat,
I
he
reached
out
and
he's
very
passionate
about
the
position.
So
I
look
forward
to
hopefully
him
getting
appointed
and
all
of
us,
you
know
working
with
dean,
moving
forward.
AE
AE
Y
Y
C
Yes,
reports
of
city
officers,
we
have
the
cranston
art
commission
on
there
tonight.
I
don't
know
how
they
would
feel
about
potentially
maybe
holding
this
for
us,
because
it
is
10
o'clock
if
they
are
passionate
about
going.
I'm
sure
we
will
all
listen
with
baited
breath,
but
we
have
the
presentation.
I
don't
know
what
their
plan
was
tonight
who
is
on
from
the
cranston
arts
commission.
AB
Hello,
I'm
not
sure
if
you
can
hear
me.
This
is
danielle
izzy,
st
pierre
I'm
a
resident
of
ward
5
and
the
chair
of
the
cranston
arts
commission.
I
just
had
a
few
brief
remarks.
I
wanted
to
make
nothing
visual,
so
I'll,
be
really
quick.
AB
So
good
evening,
council,
president
farina
members
of
the
council
and
residents
of
cranston,
my
name
is
danielle
izzy
saint
pierre,
and
I
am
the
chair
of
the
christian
arts,
commission
and
the
resident
of
ward
5..
Since
my
pres
predecessor,
leah
tavmajian
hill
gave
me
gave
her
presentation
in
september
of
2019.
AB
The
council
has
produced
a
commission
rather
has
produced
some
excellent
content,
as
well
as
an
event
which
furthered
our
mission
to
engage
the
community
with
local
arts
and
artists,
which
is
arguably
more
important.
Now
than
ever
in
october,
of
2019,
the
commission
organized
the
6x6
event,
which
was
hosted
at
the
artist
exchange
at
50
roll
square.
AB
Six
local
artists
were
invited
to
present
for
six
minutes
each
on
their
respective
mediums
included
were
a
vocalist,
photographer
storyteller
actor,
fiber
artist
and
a
muralist.
This
event
built
on
the
success
of
the
public
art
installation
of
the
crane
flight
mural
by
featuring
doc,
amy
bartlett
wright
as
a
keynote.
AB
Some
presenters
brought
examples
of
their
work,
while
others
encouraged
audience
participation
by
passing
around
materials.
This
event
was
a
fun
way
to
engage
the
community
while
showing
artists
processes
further.
We
are
grateful
to
have
had
the
opportunity
to
host
an
in-person
event
before
the
world
went
into
lockdown
due
to
covid
in
response
to
the
pandemic
and
the
collective
duty
to
a
collective
duty
to
engage
the
community.
AB
The
last
several
months
meetings
have
been
focused
around
our
next
large
public
art
project.
The
arts
commission
will
be
working
closely
with
the
cranston
historical
society
and
public
schools
to
produce
historically
significant
student-produced
murals
on
various
public
works
buildings
citywide
moving
forward.
Our
goals
remain
the
same
to
continue
engaging
the
community,
virtually
encourage
creativity
and
look
forward
to
the
days
we
can
gather
our
community
to
celebrate
the
arts
together
in
person.
AB
I
would
like
to
invite
any
cranston
residents
present
on
this
meeting
to
engage
with
the
cranston
arts
commission,
via
social
media
email
and
by
attending
future
meetings
which
occur
on
the
third
monday
of
each
month
at
6
pm,
as
we
are
always
looking
for
input
and
ideas
from
fellow
cranstonians.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
very
much
danielle.
I
appreciate
the
the
effort
from
the
arts
commission
and
your
abridged
my
marks
tonight.
C
B
D
C
Okay,
moving
on
to
council
president
communications,
I
don't
have
a
whole
lot.
Just
everybody
stay
safe.
I
I
know
council
vice
president
has
been
toying
with
the
idea
of
potentially
having
some
meetings
in
public
again,
be
rest
assured,
as
we
think
about
this,
they
would
be
hybrid
meetings
where
we
would
try
to
do
both
a
zoom
presence
and
an
in-person
presence.
C
I
do
like
the
idea
of
maybe
doing
it
in
an
auditorium,
so
he
asked
about
that
a
couple
weeks
ago,
so
I've
tasked
him
with
going
out
and
working
with
the
clerks
to
make
that
logistically
a
reality.
So
I
will
let
him
work
on
that
and
figure
out
what
we
can
actually
get
into
a
room
together
in
some
socially
distant
masked
up
capacity
with
that,
I
would
just
echo
the
words
of
counselor
vargas
diversity
is
very
important
by
tonight.
C
We
came
to
a
resolution
that
allowed
us
to
put
a
diverse
candidate
on
to
the
zoning
board.
Thank
you
for
your
passing
councilmember
vargas.
With
that
I'll
move
on
to
council
member
communications,
councilmember
donegan
traffic
at
chapel
view.
AD
I
think
you
know,
I
think,
we're
all
aware
of
the
mess
of
of
a
traffic
that
occurs
around
starbucks
in
chapel
view
and
how
much
it
it
backs
up
over
there
and
I've
I've
actually
started
getting
some
calls
about
it,
which
is
not
something
that
I
had
in
the
past.
AD
S
C
Sometimes
I
go
there
because
you
know
you
go
to
show
us
starbucks
a
lot.
I
drink
too
much
coffee
and
sometimes
they
do
have
it
set
up
like
that
and
other
times
they
don't
so
to
the
administration
like.
I
know
we
worked
with
them
to
get
that
set
up
and
get
the
change.
Why
aren't
they
continuing
with
that
queuing.
I
I
do
not
have
an
answer
why
they
changed
back
to
that
original,
but
I
will
inquire
with
the
landlord
in
the
end
starbucks
to
get
that
we
can
city
where
it
was
working.
Like
you
said
earlier,.
C
Yeah
it
was,
the
queuing
was
perfect,
they
were
going,
they
were
going
around
the
long
way
and
going
in
front
of
the
building
and
they
weren't
pushing
the
traffic
out
into
that
that
oncoming
lane
for
shows,
I
have
to
imagine,
shaw's,
doesn't
like
it
when
they
don't
do
that.
So.
I
Yeah
I'll
we'll
follow
up
and
come
some
come
up
with
some
kind
of
compromise.
We'll
have
the
landlord
work
on
that.
AD
AH
I
hope
you
can
hear
me.
Finally,
this
is
anthony
palino.
L
AH
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
I
I'm
very
grateful.
Councilman
brady
he's
put
up
with
my
phone
calls
and
and
emails,
and
so
on
for
the
past
couple
of
months,
my
wife
and
I
and
our
family.
We
live
at
450,
pip
and
orchard
road
for
the
last
27
years.
I
have
my
business
on
reservoir
avenue
to
say
that
we're
invested
in
cranston
is
an
understatement.
AH
This
past
spring,
our
next
door,
neighbor
acquired
some
chickens
and
consequently
also
acquired
a
rooster,
sounds
crazy,
but
this
thing
starts
crowing
as
early
as
four
a.m.
Every
morning,
seven
days
a
week,
it
goes
on
on
and
off
all
day,
it's
it's!
It's
gotten
to
the
point
where
it's
affecting
our
health,
our
well-being.
It's
almost
like
the
complaint.
AH
So
just
like
the
complaints
that
you
heard
earlier
regarding
fire
pits,
we
end
up
being
locked
in
our
home
all
summer,
with
the
windows
closed
not
being
able
to
enjoy
some
fresh
air,
because
you
can't
believe
how
loud
the
crowing
is.
AH
I
spoke
with
the
animal
control
officer.
He
agrees
that
they
can
be
extremely
loud,
but
the
problem
remains
that
my
neighbor's
zoning
is
a80,
which
has
some
kind
of
nebulous
agricultural
component
to
it,
and
the
animal
control
officer
won't
do
anything
about
it.
He
was
in
contact
with
people
at
zoning
and
they
said
that,
because
there's
some
portion
of
the
zoning
that
mentions
agriculture
that
there's
a
roadblock
to
banning
roosters,
I
I
have
nothing
against
farms,
nothing
against
farmers,
nothing
against
people
who
want
to
have
backyard
chickens.
AH
That's
a
that's
a
a
fad
that
goes
all
through
the
state.
It's
not
a
fad,
but
it's
something
that
people
have
a
an
interest
in,
and
I
support
that
wholeheartedly
to
have
roosters
for
to
have
chickens
to
produce
eggs
or
for
whatever
you
want
to
do
with
them,
doesn't
require
you
to
have
a
rooster.
AH
The
the
long
and
the
short
of
it
is
that
there's
no
rule
regarding
this.
There
was
an
ordinance
I
understand
that
was
put
in
some
years
back,
I
think
by
councilman
psychos
regarding
roosters.
You
know
the
maintenance
of
chickens
and
roosters,
one
of
the
other
issues.
As
an
aside
to
this
is
that
my
neighbor
does
not
keep
the
chickens
fenced
in
they're
allowed
to
roam
free.
AH
There
is
no
they're
right
on
my
property
line,
not
30
feet
from
the
rear
of
my
home,
which
was
where
all
the
bedrooms
are
located
and
many
times
during
the
course
of
the
week,
we'll
walk
outside
our
our
deck
walk
outside
the
front
door.
You
find
your
chicken
in
our
flower
beds,
running
across
the
driveway
running
across
the
yard,
scaring
the
crap
out
of
my
grandchildren,
who
live
with
us
and
and
more
than
one
occasion,
I've
seen
them
strutting
down
dipping
orchard
road.
Now,
that's
not
something!
That's
not
not
only
that.
AH
AH
It's
really
getting
to
the
point
where
it's
unbearable
and
and
I've
I've
gone
everywhere
in
terms
of
of
the
animal
control
officer.
As
I
mentioned,
I
tried
contacting.
Zoning
did
not
get
a
return
phone
call.
I
spoke
to
someone
at
the.
I
think
it
was
the
minimum
housing
and
the
gentleman
I
forgot
his
name,
but
he
was
very
nice
and
he
asked
me
where
the
chicken
coops
were
or
the
or
where
he
keeps
them.
I
said
they're
right
on
my
property
line,
not
30
feet
away
from
my
house,
and
I've
asked
my
neighbor.
AH
AH
You
know
if
if
he
was
crawling
at
12
o'clock
in
the
afternoon
well,
I
guess
we
could
put
up
with
it,
but
this
goes
on
all
day
and
it
starts
at
four
o'clock
in
the
morning
and
it
goes
on
and
on
and
on
and
there's
no
respite
from
it,
and
I
guess
it's
going
to
require
something
from
the
city
council
in
order
to
address
this,
like,
I
said
this,
this
ordinance
that
was
put
in
that
evidently
was
passed
some
years
back,
but
then
for
some
reason
vetoed
by
the
mayor,
maybe
by
pressure
from
farmers.
AH
This
my
neighbor
is
not
a
farmer.
He
has
a
nice
piece
of
property,
he's
got
five
acres
or
more
or
at
least
five
acres
or
four
acres
he's
in
the
real
estate
business.
He
is
a
remax
broker.
These
are
pets,
nobody
runs
a
farm
with
three
or
four
chickens
and
one
rooster.
So
you
know
the
argument
that
potentially
this
is.
This
is
a
farm.
It's
a
working
farm,
it's
a
commercial
farm,
it
doesn't
hold
water.
AH
If
someone
wanted
to
make
that
argument
even
down
the
street
on
the
end
of
pippen
orchard
road,
where
playing
for
your
pike
comes
in,
I
mean
I've
lived
here
almost
30
years,
there's
a
farm
there
and
and
I'm
sure
they
have
chickens,
but
they
have
a
a
a
barn
or
chicken
coop
or
building
situated
right
in
the
middle
of
their
property.
That's
not
near
any
of
the
residential
neighbors
and
you.
A
AH
Okay,
fine,
no
problem
with
that,
but
this
is
not
a
farm.
This
is
a
residential
area.
It's
always
been
a
residential
area.
Since
I
moved
there
was
a
residential
area.
The
fact
that
there's
some
agricultural
component
to
this
that's
nebulous
that
no
one
can
explain
to
me
what
that
agro
agricultural
component
is
comprised
of
leads
me
to
believe
that
it
it
doesn't
qualify
for
that
purpose.
AH
So
I'm
asking
the
council
please
please
to
do
something
again,
like
the
like
the
passionate
arguments
that
were
brought
up
by
all
those
individuals
about
fire
pits.
I
won't
even
mention
the
fact
that
these
people
also
have
a
fire
pit
and
I
know
very
well
how
that
works
when
the
wind's
blowing
your
way
forget
it
even
closing
the
windows
won't
help
you
and
putting
the
air
conditioner
on
to
try
to
take
the
smoke
out
of
the
house,
but
I'm
I'm
not
here
to
talk
about
that.
AH
I'm
here
to
ask
for
relief
so
that
we
can
get
back
to
the
quiet
enjoyment
of
our
house
that
we've
known
for
almost
three
decades-
and
I
thank
you
director
perello.
I
Yes,
unfortunately,
I
I
believe,
mr
pelino's
right
on
point
when
it
comes
to
the
animal
control
officer
that
I
spoke
to,
I
said
the
same
thing
as
has
minimum
housing
there's
nothing
currently
on
any
books.
Regarding
roosters,
I
know
he's
I've
seen
emails
from
him.
I
know
he's
tried
to
reach
out
to
his
neighbor
and
work
something
out
with
him
and
that
hasn't
really
worked.
C
AH
Don't
say
something:
may
I
say
something:
there's
an
ordinance
against
barking
dogs.
I
I
think
I
read
that
I
tried
to
look
at
the
audiences
if
it
was
a
barking
dog
that
went
but
that
barked
morning
noon
and
night
I
think
the
animal
control
officer
would
have
some
ability
to
to
exercise
control
over.
Am
I
correct
in
that.
C
To
some
degree,
so
what
we'll
do
mr
paley
know
is
we're
gonna,
we'll
get
the
you
know
through
councilman
brady,
we'll
get
together
with
the
administration,
the
animal
control
officer
and
zoning
and
figure
out
the
best
way
to
move
forward
to
see.
If
there's
a
way
we
can
solve
a
problem.
You
know
what
I
see
council
cycle
says
hand
up,
so
he
might
have
a
piece
of
information.
D
A
AE
C
Okay,
so
we'll
we'll
start
working
on
this
for
you,
mr
palino
and
counseling
councilman
stykus
might
be
ready
to
submit
a
ban
on
roosters,
so
I'll.
Let
councilman
brady
and
councilman
stykos.
Take
the
ball
on
that
for
you
how's
that
sound.
N
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
council,
president,
so
speeding
on
broad
street.
Obviously
we
have
we've
seen
it
in
the
news
for
those
who
have
not.
N
N
You
know
she
she's,
obviously
in
the
hospital
and
I'm
I'm
quite
not
sure
if
she
still
is
right
now
or
not,
but
my
get
well
wishes
and
speedy
recovery
goes
out
to
her
and
her
family,
but
speeding's
been
an
issue
and
not
only
on
broad
street
but
throughout.
Obviously
the
city,
but
broad
street
and
arrogance.
N
Boulevard
has
been
a
concern
that
I
put
more
than
once
on
the
under
council
member
communications,
and
I
believe
representative
mcnamara
also
sent
out
a
letter
for
the
for
the
record
to
the
clerk's
office,
and
so
I
reached
out
to
the
police
department
in
hopes
that
we
can
get
one
other
traffic
study
done
where
just
about
a
year
ago,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
maybe
right
around
this
time,
yep
there
was
a
traffic
study
that
was
also
done,
and
the
police
was
very
cooperative
on
that
and
the
miles
per
hour.
N
The
speeding
wasn't
as
as
what
we
or
I
anticipated
it
to
be
in
the
sense
of
a
dramatic,
overwhelming
amount
of
of
speeding.
However,
the
recent
stats
that
were
just
sent
to
me
on
another
traffic
study
was
that
was
done
now
a
year
later.
N
Was
that
with,
and
it
was
done
within
the
last
week-
was
that
the
average
speed
was
29
miles
per
hour
now,
but
maybe
two
three
weeks
ago,
I
spoke
to
the
to
the
department
to
the
pd,
and
I
was
told
that
they
were
out
there
in
about
an
hour
or
so.
There
was
at
least
35
about
35
tickets
issued
speeding
continues
the
village,
for
example,
the
mile
per
hour
is
there
is
25,
that's
the
speed
limit.
N
We
also
can't
continue
to
have
traffic
studies
one
year
or
every
two
three
months
after
another.
Eventually,
traffic
studies
are
going
to
become,
I
want
to
say
irrelevant,
but
not
productive.
Now,
broad
street
is
the
main
road
I
get
it.
I'm
wondering
and
I've
had
a
conversation
with
the
administration,
and
my
hopes
is
that
we
can
have
some
sort
of
a
conversation
on
on
a
policy.
N
Now
I
am
not
a
big
proponent
of
speed,
bumps
or
humps
or
however
many
call
it
the
rubber
ones
or
or
but
or
the
ones
that
are
a
partial
speed
bump,
where
there's
still
a
gap
between.
So
motorcycles
to
avoid
accidents,
however,
with
the
excessive
amount
of
speeding
and
accident
happening
and
the
fact
that
we
have,
I
know
we're
going
into
already
we're
in
fall
going
into
the
winter
and
but
we
do
have
in
the
village,
also
business
owners
that
have
outdoor
seating.
N
I
emailed
mr
ken
mason
and
mr
steve
mulcahy
the
traffic
engineer
in
hopes
that
we
can
put
our
brains
together
and
figure
out
what
we're
able
to
do,
because
it's
it's
just
an
ongoing
issue,
and
so,
if
the
administration
has
any
policies
in
place
at
all,
I
was
told
that
there
was
some
sort
of
conversation
that
was
taking
place
on
the
potential
study
of
speed.
Bumps,
I
know
the
rubber
ones
are
not
as
effective.
They
break
a
lot,
but
there's
there's.
N
I
know,
concern
of
the
fire
department,
maybe
the
police
department.
If
there
was
a
speed
bump
and
the
access
going
over
it
or
damaged
maybe
to
their
vehicles
or
so
forth,
but
many
of
the
towns
have
it,
and
I
don't
know
the
digital
solar
kind
of
a
panel
very
similar
to
the
one
on
pontiac
right
outside
of
chester.
N
Barrows
is
a
potential
to
reduce
some
sort
of
a
traffic
where
it
tells
you
the
speed,
if
that
would
be
an
option
as
well
to
place
right
around
broad
junior,
the
village
area
a
little
further
up,
or
so
that's
where
I
would
ask
the
engineer
to
to
take
a
look
and
give
me
his
experience,
because,
obviously,
I'm
not
an
expert
at
that.
N
But
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
can
put
our
brains
together
and
and
our
heads
together
and
see
what
outcome
we
can
do,
because
I
I
just
otherwise
I'm
going
to
keep
adding
speeding
on
broad
street
on
our
agenda
every
few
months,
and
I
don't
know
if
they
ever
got
back
to
councilman
hopkins
on
even
on
his
suggestion
at
one
point,
which
was
like
the
3d,
the
3d
imaging
of
optical
illusion
or
so
of
of
speed,
bumps
or
any
other
options
that
we
could
potentially
work
on.
N
So
looking
for
the
administration
on
some
sort
of
a
guidance
looking
forward
on
input
from
all
of
you
as
well
on
the
council
to
find
out
what
we
can
do.
If
I
have
to
put
a
petition
together,
which
I've
knocked
on
businesses
on
broad
street,
that
they're
all
in
support
of
of
a
speed
bump
in
that
specific
area
residents
as
well,
whether
it's
80
90
percent
of
the
people,
I'm
not
going
to
say
that
the
speed
bumps
are
going
to
avoid
speeding
as
a
whole.
N
But
if
we
put
a
speeding
bump,
of
course,
I
think
director
perillo.
If
you're
still
on
the
call.
We
have
discussed
the
potential
of
people
calling
maybe
complaining,
there's
people
speaking
right
in
front
of
them
and
the
noise,
and
if
that
was
to
be
placed
potentially
at
city
cost,
then
if
there
was
ever
a
time
where
they
wanted
to
remove
a
speed
bump
that
could
some
stages
in
towns
have
a
policy
where
then
the
neighbors
would
have
to
come
together
and
remove
it
at
their
own
expense.
N
But
I'm
really
trying
to
just
poke
around
and
see
what
we
can
do,
because
it's
it's
just
rather
overwhelming
to
to
you,
know
it
too,
and
hopefully
I
just
don't
want
to
see
someone
lose
their
life
because
of
speeding
and
again
the
situation
was
road
rage,
speed
bump.
Some
would
argue
it
would
have
made
it
worse
the
impact
of
an
accident,
but
if
we
can
prevent
some
sort
of
speeding,
if
we
can
prevent
speeding
some
way
or
the
other
I'm
open
to
ideas.
I
Broad
street
in
particular.
No,
I
think
speeding
is
a
city-wide
issue.
I
we
met
with
councilman
steichos
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
ken
mason
and
I
on
grace
street
to
try
to
address
that
problem
and
people
were
flying
by
us
as
we
stood
there.
I
So
it's
a
it's
a
problem
everywhere
throughout
the
city,
and
I
think
what
needs
to
happen
is
we
need
to
have
some
type
of
subcommittee
to
decide
how
we're
going
to
move
forward
as
a
city
when
it
comes
to
speeding,
I
think,
a
combination
of
speed,
humps
electronic
signage,
some
additional
car
posts
by
pd-
maybe
some
I
don't
know,
there's
gonna-
be
a
myriad
of
things
that
we
have
to
do.
One
thing's
not
gonna
is
not
gonna
solve
it.
I
Obviously,
everyone
would
love
to
have
a
policeman
on
their
street
24
7..
Unfortunately,
that
can't
happen,
but
I
think
a
combination
of
again
maybe
feed
humps.
If
that's
something
the
city
wants
to
do,
but
again,
police
and
fire
are
kind
of
leery
on
that
due
to
response
time,
so
that
that
is
an
issue
that
we
need
to
address
with
the
police
department
and
the
fire
department.
I
I
know
mr
mason
is
concerned
about
the
plows,
with
speed
humps
in
the
winter,
damaging
plows
and
the
speed
humps
getting
dug
up
by
the
plows
and
there's
always
obviously,
what's
the
cost
going
to
be
of
installing
these
speed
humps
all
over
the
city?
What
are
the
parameters
going
to
be?
Is
it
just
going
to
be
side
streets?
Is
it
just
going
to
be
main
roads?
I
Is
it
going
to
be
x
amount
of
feet
from
a
stop
sign
x,
amount
of
feet
from
an
intersection
not
next
to
a
blind
curve?
There's
all
different
parameters
that
other
cities
and
towns
have
put
in
place.
Like
you
mentioned,
90
of
the
citizens
on
the
street
have
to
sign
a
petition
saying
they
want
it.
100
of
the
people
who
will
but
the
speed
hump
have
to
want
it
and
then,
basically,
if
they
don't
want
it,
it's
going
to
be
removed
at
their
cost.
I
I
In
that
neighborhood
castleton
estates,
I
know
we're
trying
to
do
that
in
that
area,
but
I
think
ken
said
that's
a
25
or
30
000
speed
reduction
mechanism
that
gets
kind
of
expensive
if
we
start
doing
that
all
over
the
city.
So
I
think
there's
a
lot
to
discuss
and
I
do
not
have
an
answer
for
you
right
now
on
broad
street
councilwoman.
N
Hey
thank
you.
If
I
can
just
ask
two
quick
questions.
Director
pirillos,
I
guess
one
is
more
of
a
school
zone.
If,
if
we
can
look
into,
if
we
do
have
a
policy
or
what
policy
was
put
in
place
at
the
time
that
there
was
a
speed
bump
that
was
placed
on
shore
ave
right
across
from
rhodes,
elementary
school
edgewood
elementary
doesn't
have
a
speed
bump.
N
That
was
a
concern
from
a
constituent
and
obviously
being
a
parent
of
a
child
who
goes
to
that
school
as
well,
and
seeing
the
overwhelming
amount
of
speeding
and
people
going
right
through
even
school
buses,
sometimes
even
when
they
have
the
stop
sign
out,
is
rather
concerning,
but
two
I
guess
my
so
that's
one.
Do
we
have
a
policy
for
that
or
how
did
that
come
about?
And
two
are
you
suggesting
maybe
having
some
sort
of
speed,
hump
policy,
because
the
city
are
you
saying?
N
Cranston
doesn't
have
a
speed
policy,
speed,
hum
policy
or
subcommittee,
and
if
not,.
N
I
N
Okay,
so
maybe
I
can
connect
with
you
or
any
other
council
members
at
all
that
perhaps
want
to
work
on
any
type
of
potential,
look
looking
into
any
policy
on
on
speed
humps
in
the
city
and
wondering
if
we
might
take
a
few
policies
that
are
already
in
place
in
other
cities
and
towns.
N
I
know
providence,
for
example,
has
breed
bombs
all
around
and
wondering
what
their
response
time
is
when
it
comes
down
to
police
department
or
fire
department,
and
maybe
put
something
something
together
on
the
potential
policy
for
for
the
city.
N
So
is
there
a
reason
why
we
chose
the
other
area
to
do
a
speed,
bump
pilot?
I
guess
castle.
You
said
sac
castle,
something.
I
Estate
for
doing
that,
the
bumpers
that
neighborhood
we're
running,
I
think
we're
doing.
N
So
so
we
can
do
something,
so
we
could
potentially
be
do
something
like
that
again
if
we
allocate
funds
for
a
study
like
that.
I
I
just
think
it's
you
just
got
to.
Obviously
thank
god,
bob
strum's,
not
here
anymore,
but
financially
I
mean
it's
expensive,
thirty
thousand
a
shot
so.
N
No,
that
is
no,
I
get
it
all
right,
all
right,
so
I'll
reach
out
to
some
cities
and
towns
as
well
just
to
kind
of
get
a
sense
of
what
their
policies
are.
Unless
you
have
anything
or
you're
aware
of
any
other
cities
that
you
perhaps
you
can
reach
out
to
or
I'm
not
sure
anyone
in
the
office
would
be
able
to
reach
out
in
hopes
to
have
that
information.
N
Okay,
okay,
does
it
have
the
response
time
on
there,
too,
with
speed
bumps.
I
No,
it
just
goes
with
the
completely
difference
of
a
street,
get
the
opportunity
to
put
a
speed
hump
in
talks
about
the
the
petition,
the
hundred
percent,
the
eighty
percent,
the
removal
costs
stuff,
not
the
cost
of
the
the
removal
charge
to
the
neighborhood
if
they
decide
to
remove
it
where
it
goes
and
so
forth.
So
it
kind
of
breaks
it
down
in
those
terms.
N
Okay,
all
right
all
right,
so
what
I'll
I'll
do
unless
any
council
members
again
I'm
open
to
ideas
on
here
and
I've
been
open
to
ideas
even
with
within
the
residence
as
well,
what
they
think,
whether
it's
some
have
proposed
cameras.
Some
have
said
the
digital
sign,
speed
bumps,
I
know,
there's
an
expense
that
comes
with
it.
N
It's
definitely
a
tough
time
right
now
with
the
budget,
but
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out
what
we
are
able
to
do
and
how
we
can
go
about
trying
to
reduce
the
amount
of
speeding.
If,
if
anything
I
mean
we,
I
know,
there's
a
no
no
chase
or
no
first
pursuit
after
like
atvs
and
all
that
that
are
driving
by
all
night.
D
I
Correct
and
cameras
cameras
do
work.
However,
they
do
they're
good
for
a
short
term,
because
once
people
know
the
camera's
there
they're
going
to
slow
down,
but
the
company
requires
you
to
to
pay
them
x
amount
of
money
each
month.
So
at
some
point
that
becomes
counterproductive
because
people
are
slowing
down,
which
is
great,
but
it's
costing
the
city
x
amount
of
dollars
a
month
to
a
contractor.
P
I
I
think
major
quirks
on
the
wall.
He
may
have
some
input
councilwoman.
N
Yeah
and
and
the
major
and
the
lieutenant
have
been
very
helpful
in
the
sense
of
making
sure
that
we
have
the
traffic
studies
being
being
done,
but
I
guess
major,
I
guess
my
question
I
get
directly
to
you
would
through
the
chair
would
be
what
what
are
other
options.
I
guess
do
we
have
like
what
do
you?
What
do
you
think
or
what
or
our
objections
and
speed
bumps
are.
AG
Right,
I
think
I
have
to
I
think
I
have
to
remember
what
director
pirillo
had
just
mentioned.
I
mean.
B
AG
He
definitely
has
the
the
knowledge
and
experience
as
far
as
as
she
is
with
the
the
johnston
police
department,
and
I
I
mean
as
as
tragic
as
that
that
action
was
on
broad
street.
It's
just
I'd
have
to
say
an
isolated
incident.
I
mean
that
easily
could
have
taken
place
on
scituate
avenue
on
reservoir
avenue.
It's
like.
I
said
it's
a
it's.
It's
a
terrible
accident
and
the
department
I
mean
wishes.
AG
The
you
know
the
people
involved,
especially
the
pedestrian,
has
speedy
recovery,
but
it
was.
AG
It
was
one
of
those
things
where,
like
I
said
it's
and
that
was
married
by
the
traffic
officers
out
of
the
scene,
could
have
could
have
happened
anywhere
and
as
far
as
the
numbers
that
were
that
were
sent
to
cynthia
this
morning,
councilwoman
it's
with
the
with
the
the
data
data
box,
speed,
speed
data
box
that
was
put
in
place
in
two
locations
on
broad
street
one
one
abroad
in
armington,
which
was
further
up
as
you're
aware
on
broad
street,
and
but
the
one
closer
was
broadened.
AG
AG
Basically
that
wasn't
that
was
in
place
for
for
a
week
and
out
of
let's
see
I'll,
give
you
a
quick
synopsis
here,
let's
see
out
of
40
40
000,
almost
41
000
vehicles,
40
684,
to
be
exact
that
were
recorded
in
that
time
frame
that
being
north
and
southbound
on
broad
street,
the
average
median
speed
was
29
miles
per
hour.
So
that's
that's!
That's
definitely
within
the
lines
I
mean
it's
the
speed
limit.
There
is
25
so
to
say
pro
for
a
week's
time.
AG
29
miles
per
hour.
I
mean
that's,
that's
pretty
much
where
it
where
it
should
be.
I
mean
there
were
a
few.
If
you
look
at
the
numbers,
I
mean
you'll
see
one
of
50
one
at
60..
It
they
take
the
highs
and
lows
and
they
and
they
average
it
all
out.
So
for
that
many
vehicles,
and
even
going
further
up
on
broad
street
brought
in
armington,
it
just
so
happens
that
that
average
speed
also
worked
out
to
be
29
miles
per
hour.
AG
So
to
answer
your
question,
I
I
don't
know
what
the
answer
is.
Like
the
director
said,
and
I've
got
35
years
on
the
job
and
to
this
day
that
seems
to
be
one
of
the
main
complaints
of
and
rightfully
so,
people
who
do
call
and
they
and
they
complain
about
speeding
and
so
forth.
But
they're
just
is
as
tough
as
as
it
is
to
hear.
There's
just
that.
AG
There's
there's
not
enough,
there's,
not
enough
offices,
so
we
we
could
have
another
50
officers
on
the
job
and
to
say
yeah
we're
going
to
put
a
an
officer
on
every
complaint
that
comes
in
it's
just
it's
it's!
It's
not
feasible,
because
if
we
were
to
let's
say
we
do
have
a
traffic
division
but
as
as
you're
aware
they
we
we
had
a
we.
AG
We
had
another
tragedy
last
last
week
on
cranston
street,
with
an
elderly
woman,
and
as
of
as
of
yesterday
today,
I
should
say
the
one
of
the
traffic
officers
was
still
working
on
that
case.
AG
There's
a
lot
to
it
so
with
a
with
a
traffic
division
of
four
offices
and
to
to
have
them
to
go
and
concentrate
on
on
the
complaints
that
come
in
I,
that
is,
that
is
a
priority,
but
just
like,
when
we
put
beat
officers,
let's
say
on
a
particular
concern
that
comes
in
whether
it's
stop
signs
or
speeding
and
and
so
forth.
When
I,
when
a
high
priority
call
comes
in,
we
have
to
pull
that
off,
so
they
could
be
out
there
for
an
hour.
AG
They
could
be
out
there
for
10
minutes
and
when
a
call
comes
in
and
deemed
to
be
a
high
priority
call,
we
have
to
pull
that
officer
off
those
traffic
poles.
So
I
I
I
don't
know
I
don't
know.
I
don't
know
if
those
traffic
humps
or
bumps
were
you
know
whatever
way,
people
wanna
wanna
call
them.
I
don't
know
if
they
are
the
answer,
because
now
you
have
to
deal
with
like
we
said
fire
vehicles,
police,
other
emergency
vehicles
going
to
a
call
snow
plows.
AG
I
know
one
of
the
traffic
officers
I
discussed
with
him
today.
I
said:
what's
that,
what's
your
feeling
on
29,
he
said
well,
he
says
some
of
the
complaints
are
coming
into
in
patuxent
village.
AG
If,
if
the,
if
the
average
speed
north
and
southbound
is
29,
he
says
most
likely
if
the
average
speed
heading
southbound
on
broad
street
from
from
park
avenue
is,
is
29.
It's
most
likely
going
to
decrease,
as
as
most
most
operators
are,
are
going
in
towards
a
a
business
district
with
stores
and
so
forth.
It's
not
to
say
that
you
wouldn't
have
one
person
like
you
did
the
night
of
the
accident
and
and
and
excessive
speed
was
determined.
AG
I
mean
you
know,
god
forbid,
that
that
could
happen
again,
but
for
the
most
part
most
most
people
are
paying
attention
in
law
abiding
citizens,
if
they're,
if
their
average
speed,
is
29,
it's
safe
to
say,
they're,
probably
going
a
lot
less
than
that
when
they
approach
the
village.
Knowing
there's
gonna
be
congestion
with
you
know,
pedestrians
and
in
vehicles
in
that
area.
So
I
I
I
so
the
answer.
AG
You
answer
your
question.
I
I
don't
know
what
the
perfect
scenario
is
as
far
as
speed
bumps
or
humps.
AG
I
I
know,
as
far
as
what
the
director
also
mentioned
earlier
on
castleton
drive
that
the
geographics
of
that
particular
street
is
different
than
broad
street
and
with
that,
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
broad
street-
is
more
of
a
of
a
a
congested
cut
through
to
work
and
so
forth,
where
castleton,
for
the
most
part,
is
even
though
it
can
be
a
cutthroat,
it's
safe
to
say
that
a
good
majority
of
people
that
use
that
that
road
live
either
in
that
neighborhood
or
or
surrounding
streets,
whereas
broad
street
could
be
just
people
coming
up
from
warwick
making
their
way
into
province
or
the
the
other
way
around.
AG
N
N
If
we
don't
mind
that
would
be
great
and
then
what
I'll
also
do
in
the
meantime
I'll
see?
If,
if
we
can,
if
director
perillo,
you
can
send
me
the
at
least
for
the
time
being
the
johnston,
speed,
bump
instillation
policy
and
then
I'll
take
a
look
at
some
other
ones,
and
maybe
that's
something
that
needs
to
be
working
just
because
I
feel
that,
although
that
needs
to
be
worked
on
at
the
very
same
time,
some
sort
of
you
know.
N
Immediate
solution
should
be
done,
and
I
don't
know
what
the
immediate
solution
should
it
should
be,
but
I
do
know
with
there's
been
a
lot
of
speeding
and
just
reckless
driving
people
going
right
through
stop
signs
on
park,
ave
and
broad
street.
Those
are
the
type
of
calls
that
I
that
I
get
all
the
time,
but
if
we
can
do
a
follow
up
and
add
this
definitely
to
thank
you,
council,
president,
to
the
next
safety
29.
I
A
N
Yeah,
you
may
not
get
pulled
over,
maybe
until
like
10
over
so.
But
the
point
is
that
when,
if
you're
in
the
village-
though,
maybe
this
maybe
a
speed
bump,
there
could
potentially
be
a
a
possibility
just
because
people
are
still
going
a
little
over
and
there's
kids
walking
it's
just
friday
night
saturday,
it's
jamming
and
people
are
still
speeding,
but
we'll
we
I'll
I'll,
follow
up
with
you,
director,
pirillo
and
if
you
can
follow
up
also
on
the
speed
bump
on
on
roads.
N
Elementary
I'm
curious
what
we
could
also
do
for
edgewood
highland,
because
that
one
school
has
it
the
other
one
doesn't
and
there's
a
lot
of
speeding
in
that
area.
Obviously,
right
now,
it's
cold,
there's,
probably
not
as
many
students
going
in
person,
but
nonetheless
there's
still
students
at
that
at
the
school
and
so
councilman
cyclos,
and
I
both
received
an
email
from
a
constituent
regarding
speeding
in
that
particular
area.
D
Yeah
I'd
like
to
request
that
those
be
it's
late
and
that
would
those
be
referred
to
the
upcoming
ordinance
committee
meeting
makes.
C
J
Just
for
clarification,
you
constant
cycles.
You
want
those
on
the
ordinance
agenda
or
public
works.
AE
J
AE
Y
C
Yes,
now,
on
the
the
block
approved.
