Leanne,
it's
still
going
to
be
able
to
be
listen
through
youtube,
though
right,
even
though
you're
muting
and
you're
right.
B
I
can
hear
you
okay,
so
I'm
I'm
in
good
shape.
Okay,
all
right
when
you
roseanne
where's
alba,
are
you
taking
the
role
tonight
anyway,.
B
Okay,
I'd
like
to
call
the
october
26th
2020
meeting
of
the
city
council
to
order
clerk.
Please
take
the
role.
B
First
on
the
agenda,
it
looks
like
we
have
public
hearings
and
accommodations.
I
don't
believe
there
are
any.
Is
that
correct?
Madam
court.
B
I
didn't
see
him
anything
to
confirm,
approve
the
minutes
of
the
last
meeting.
Is
that
on?
I
don't
see
it
on
the
agenda.
Is
that
supposed
to
be
on
there.
B
B
That
okay,
councilman
hopkins,
is
listening
in
but
he's
having
trouble
with
audio
just
to
report
to
the
committee.
So
he
is
on
he's
having
some
trouble
with
the
audio.
B
B
B
B
Okay,
well,
I
guess
we'll
continue
and
hope
that
councilman
hopkins
can
get
the
volume
to
work.
First,
I
am
under
resolutions.
B
B
Councilman
hopkins
is
not
able
to
do
it.
Councilman
staplauskas,
are
you
there.
E
Yes,
council
vice
president.
E
Vice
president
for
vicki
I'll
entertain
a
motion
to
approve.
E
And
we
have
a
second
for
discussion
under
comment.
Should
we
hear
from
the
council
first
and
do
a
public
comment?
E
Council
vice
president,
the
floor
is
yours.
B
All
right,
thank
you.
I
know
that
the
affordable
housing
was
is
a
big
issue,
big
topic
that
we
had,
and
I
know
that
it
will
continue
to
be,
and
that's
great.
My
approach
is
more
of
a
direct,
find
solutions.
Approach
and,
basically
you
know,
the
shortest
distance
between
two
points
is
a
straight
line.
This
is
one
area
that
I've
been
exploring
for
most
of
the
year
actually
in
discussions
with
the
planning
department.
B
They've
just
been
so
swamped
with
all
the
other
myriad
of
things
between
the
solar
ordnance,
redo
and
all
the
other
things
that
we've
had
on
the
calendar.
That
they're
just
swamped
with
work,
but
this
is
something
that
I
think
is
a
partial
solution
for
some
of
the
affordable
housing
issues.
If
you
know,
obviously
we
all
see
it
in
the
from
the
even
in
ward
6,
but
for
the
most
part,
most
of
the
smaller
apostles
from
ward
6
right
to
ward
1.
B
There
are
a
lot
of
parcels
of
land
that
got
caught
up
in
a
time
warp
I'll
use
that,
as
the
analogy
we
changed,
the
zoning
to
where
you
have
a
lot
of
a6
a6
is
the
smallest
zone
that
we
have.
But
yet
there
are
many
houses
that
are
built
on
four
and
five
thousand
square
foot
lots.
B
So
the
parcels
left
over
and
I
think
the
planning
could
probably
provide
some
numbers
for
us
are
left
in
a
conundrum
because
they
can't
they
can't
be
built
on
without
getting
either
a
dimensional
variance
or
a
zone
there
in
variance
a
frontage
variance
and-
and
it
creates
a
situation
where
it's
very
difficult
to
to
build
on
them.
And
the
problem
with
that
is
those
are
probably
the
most
affordable
lots
in
the
city,
and
some
starter
homes
primarily
could
be
built
on
them
and
they
are
being
done.
B
But
the
process
takes
quite
a
bit
of
time
and
it
also
opens
itself
up
to
objections
and
and
people
for
their
own
personal
reasons
objecting,
because
they
may
have
had
a
nice
piece
of
vacant
land
next
to
them
where
they
could
plant
a
little
garden
over
the
line.
They
can
throw
some
leaves
on
there
and
they
don't
really
want
to
see
anyone
develop
it,
but
the
the
that
type
of
zoning-
and
I
think,
former
com
councilwoman
mcfarland,
mentioned
it.
B
The
last
meeting
that
those
kind
of
parcels
are
perfect
for
some
starter
homes,
some
lower
priced
homes
and
also
the
fact
that
they
do
not
really
burden
the
city,
the
infrastructure
of
the
city,
the
roads
are
already
in
place.
The
schools
are
in
place,
the
fire
and
police
have
to
come
down
those
streets
anyway.
We
have
to
plow
them
and
take
and
maintain
them,
but
you're,
not
flooding,
one
area
with
50
new
houses
or
in
burdening
the
schools
and
yet
you're
providing
some
affordable
housing.
B
Planning
needs
to
really
assist
on
this,
but
I
think
it's
an
area
where
you
know
there
are
parcels
that
are
bigger
than
the
the
houses
the
house
lots
next
to
them,
and
yet
they're
not
being
built
on,
because
there's
a
lot
of
objection
or
the
cost
of
going
through
the
process
makes
it
cost
prohibitive.
B
So
I
think
it's
one
area
that
that
could
be
used
for
that.
I
think
we
have.
You
know
we
have
the
resources
in
the
city
to
do
a
number
of
things
on
housing,
including
planning
department,
the
housing
authority.
But
I
think
this
is
a
very
direct
and
simple
way
of
introducing
some
more
affordable
housing
into
the
city.
E
Thank
you,
council.
Vice
president,
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
the
committee
before
I
ask
for
a
public
comment.
J
Yeah,
so
what
what
your
resolution
it
says
enact
an
ordinance.
Do
you
mean
draft
an
ordinance.
B
Yeah
asking
the
the
administration
to
you,
know
research,
it
and
and
try
to
draft
an
ordinance,
I'm
not
sure
if
they
would
do
it
as
an
ordinance
or
as
a
change
to
the
comp
plan.
I
think
it
would
be
easier
to
do
an
ordinance.
I
think
they
have
authority
under
under
state
law
to
do
some
of
the
things
without
having
to
do
like
subdivisions,
for
example,
administrative
subdivisions.
B
They
have
some
authority
to
do
it
the
way
they
they
want.
They
don't
have
to
merge
every
lot
with
the
adjoining
house
if
they
don't,
if
the,
if
they
don't
want
to
or
if
the
homeowner
doesn't
want
to,
there's
always
been
a
an
impetus
at
the
state
level
to
try
to
merge
all
these
lots
to
adjoining
lots,
but
the
problem
with
that
is
that
you're
you're
leaving
these
this
resource
untouched
and
they're.
B
Really,
you
know,
I,
I
think
it's
a
good
source
of
land
that
isn't
super
expensive,
like
if
you
go
to
western
cranston
you're
not
going
to
buy
a
vacant
lot.
For
you
know,
30
thousand
dollars
it's
going
to
cost
100,
000
or
more
in
many
cases,
so
it
it
it.
Just
it's
cost
prohibitive
in
certain
areas
of
the
city,
but
these
are,
I
think
they
could
draft
an
ordinance
to
do
it.
I'm
just
urging
them
to
take
that
up.
J
Have
any
developers
approached
you
about
this
idea.
B
I
yeah
I've
seen
a
lot
of
it
in
my
work
you
know,
and
and
some
of
them
do
it
I
mean
there
are
some
that
are
able
to
get
some
of
these
approved
and
they
build.
You
know,
build
houses
on
them,
they
may
be
smaller,
they
may
you
know,
some
of
them
can
be
fairly
big,
but
you
don't
see
monstrosities
I
mean
you,
don't
see,
you
know,
use
on
a
five
thousand
square
foot.
Fifty.
J
B
Hundred
square
foot
lot
you're
gonna
see
an
average
home
an
affordable
home
under
rimfact
guidelines,
so
it
does
go
on
I'm
just
thinking.
There
may
be
a
way
to
streamline
the
process
a
little
and
create
more
growth
in
that
area.
J
But
my
question
is:
is
anybody
any
developers
talk
to
you
about
this
resolution
and
this
idea.
B
I've
talked
to
developers
about
the
idea.
I
didn't
ask
anyone
about
the
resolution.
I
did
the
resolution
on
my
own,
but
but
yes
absolutely
there
are
people
that
would
be
interested
in
doing
it.
B
J
What
was
this,
did
they
approach
you
about
this
idea
or
did
they
approach
the
planning
department,
I'm
just
trying
to
get
a
history
of
where
this.
B
No,
I
observed
it
and
I
you
know
discussed
it
with
the
planning.
I've
mentioned
it
to
planning
and
they
they
do
think
it's
a
good
idea,
because
they're
overworked
as
it
is
so
anything
that
can
make
the
process
speed
up
the
process,
I
think,
is
a
good
thing
and
make
it
you
know
it.
I'm
not
talking
about.
You
know
cramming
in
property,
but
it's
where,
where
it
fits
the
character
of
the
neighborhood.
B
So
if
you
have
an
area
where
there's
all
four
thousand
square
foot
parcels
and
there's
a
house
on
each
lot
and
there's
a
couple
of
vacant
pieces
of
land
to
make
them
require
them
to
need
six
thousand
square
feet
when
everybody
around
them
only
has
four
seems
like
you,
you
know
a
detriment
to
the
neighborhood.
Really
I
mean
it's
in
it
and
it's
it's
only
it's
some
property
that
could
be
utilized
to
an
advantage
in
creating
some.
You
know:
starter
homes
and
affordable,
affordable
homes.
B
Houses
are
expensive
today,
but
still
with
the
interest
rates
being
low,
people
can
afford
a
pretty
good
starter
home
and
I
think
just
think
that
it's
there
it's
available.
I
I
definitely
think
you
you
really
wouldn't
have
to
advertise
it.
I
don't
think
I
think
it
would
be
an
attractive
thing
to
developers,
because
it's
you
know
it's
a
it's,
the
type
of
home
you
can
build
even
on
spec,
rather
than
you
know.
If
you're
gonna,
you
don't
build
500
500,
000
houses
too
often
on
speculation.
B
L
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Yes
councilman
favichio,
we
have
discussed
this
idea
over
the
years.
It
hasn't
just
been
this
year.
The
idea
of
infill
development
is
something
we
see
practically
every
day
calls
to
the
office.
We
entertain
subdivisions
with
variances,
practically
every
single
month
in.
I
think,
to
your
comment
about
the
city.
L
Being
locked
in
time
is
that
when
you're
saying
that
everything
was
developed
in
the
eastern
part
of
the
city
prior
to
zoning,
they're
neighborhoods,
where
the
average
lot
sizes
were
3,
200
square
feet,
4,
000
square
feet
and
zoning
was
enacted
in
the
60s.
That
said,
6
000
is
the
minimum.
L
Now,
so,
basically
everybody
with
record
lots-
or
you
know
basically
made
everybody
non-conforming
number
one
and
number
two,
it
basically
locked
up
a
lot
of
the
city
for
new
development
and
the
only
way
to
get
around
that
is
to
go
through
the
process
of
subdivision
and
zoning
variances.
L
So
I
I
think,
councilman
the
the
issue
is.
This
is
not
going
to
be
an
ordinance
per
se.
This
is
going
to
be
a
package
of
ordinances.
This
will
be
comprehensive
plan
amendments
all
in
the
service
of
creating
new,
moderately
sized
units
and
houses
in
parts
of
the
city
where
they
make
sense.
L
In
addition
to
that,
you
know
these.
These
the
zones
themselves
are
very
out
of
date,
they've.
Never,
the
the
core
of
the
zone
has
never
been
amended
since
the
60s
and
we've
seen
that
that's
been
an
issue
you
know
for
decades.
This
has
been
it's
been
an
issue
for
decades.
L
So
if
we're
going
to
talk
about
moderately
priced
new
housing
and
new
housing
units,
they
really
have
to
be
infill
and
infill
is
the
is
the
way
to
get
units
that
are
that
are
in
the
range
of
affordable
to
be
built,
and
I
and
and
we've
been
in
support
of
this
idea
for
for
quite
some
time-
and
we
talked
about
this
issue
a
lot
just
a
couple
weeks
ago
with
the
affordable,
housing,
commission
and
whatnot,
and
this
is
certainly
going
to
be
one
of
the
main
discussion
points,
because
this
is
not.
L
This
is
not
going
to
be
an
easy
lift
for
the
city
and
it's
not
going
to
be
an
easy
lift
for
the
for
the
city
council
to
amend,
make
significant
amendments
to
the
zoning
code
to
the
comprehensive
plan
to
really
allow
development
in
the
areas
that
you're
changing
the
the
the
existing
zonings
that's
been
in
in
existence
since
the
60s
back
to
what
was
basically
platted
in
the
could
have
been
the
20s
or
the
30s
or
the
40s,
and
it's
it's
it's
about
equity
and
it's
about
justice,
and
I
think
that,
and
it's
about
fairness
to
to
people
to
be
able
to
build.
L
You
know:
affordable
range
housing.
Now
again,
it's
not
to
be
confused
with
actual
affordable
housing,
which
has
the
subsidy
attached
to
it,
which
has
deed
restrictions.
That's
another
slice
of
the
pie.
This
is
this
is
one
slice
of
the
pie.
So
you
know
I
look.
I
look
forward
to
bringing
this
to
the
council
and
having
workshops
and
really
discussing
this,
but
this
will
be
a
a
heavy
lift.
L
This
is
not
going
to
be
easy
and
I
don't
think
anyone
should
think
that
we'll
be
able
to
make
these
kind
of
changes
in
a
in
a
very
quick
fashion.
So
I
just
want
to
say
you
know
it
is
late
that
that
we
do
support
it
and
that,
but
there
will
be
a
lot
to.
L
E
G
Thank
you
so
much
council
president
for
the
night,
I'm
not
sure
right.
So
I
had
a
quick
question
and
this
might
be
to
or
either
director
pizzulo
or
councilman
favichio.
So
on
there
I
mean
it
says
I
think
it's
affordable
housing
right,
I'm
all
in
favor
of
working
and
again
it's
a
resolution.
It's
not
an
an
ordinance
per
se,
but
I
I
think
it's
a
great
conversation
starter,
just
like
we
had
in
the
housing.
G
Subject
line
last
month
as
well,
and
it's
just
in
urging
the
administration
there's
a
lot
of
steps.
That'll
go
with
this.
My
question-
I
guess,
is
so
if
this
is
a
lot,
that's
out
there
and
we're
encouraging
the
four
houses
to
be
built
upon
that
land,
so
it
can
be
part
of
affordable
housing.
Is
there
any
regulation
or
would
that
be
part
of
eventual
down
the
line
on
an
ordinance?
Where
can
we
set
like
the
price
like?
G
How
do
we
know
or
how
can
we
say
that
these
houses
are
suddenly
not
going
to
be
houses
that
are
going
to
be
selling
way
off
the
the
market
price
where
a
median
household
can't
afford
it?
My
family
can't
afford
it.
I
guess
I'm
trying
to
figure
out,
I
mean:
do
we
have
any
type
of
control
over
that
at
all?
G
Just
because
again,
it's
not
a
subsidized
housing
or
anything
like
one's
minds,
but
I'm
just
trying
to
kind
of
get
a
sense
of
purpose
as
to
how
can
we
say
that
the
person
in
itself
is
going
to
buy
that
plot
to
make
sure
that
there
is
an
affordable,
single
multi-family
housing
built.
B
I
can
answer,
I
can
kind
of
answer
that
council
member
of
argus,
I
mean
you,
can't
control
prices
on
the
open
market
items
like
that.
I
don't
think
that's
the
the
goal
I
mean
this
is
not
the.
I
don't
believe
this
would
fall
into
the
voucher
system.
That's
something
for
you
know.
Director
coop
might
be
able
to
answer
that
one,
but
it
it
does
under
the
present
market
conditions
it
it
would
be
considered,
affordable.
The
prices
may
be
higher
than
you
think.
B
However,
if
when
you
look
at
the
the
mortgage
payments
with
the
current
interest
rates,
you
know
that
1200
dollar
rent
amount,
rental
amount,
12,
1300
dollars
being
an
average
two-bedroom
rent
you
can,
you
can
get
a
a
mortgage,
your
mortgage
taxes
and
insurance
might
be
twelve
hundred
dollars
on
a
three
hundred
thousand
dollar
house,
so
you
know
it
can
be
affordable
in
that
respect
in
the
and
you
I've
seen
a
lot
of
homes
going
in
that
in
that
range,
and
I
think
that
you
know
a
lot
of
people
are
taking
advantage
of
it
and
they're,
not
the
hiring
higher-end
wage
earners.
B
I
think
they're,
you
know
fairly
moderate
income.
People
are
able
to
afford
that
because
the
the
mortgages
are
the
same
as
a
rental
price,
but
you
can't,
I
don't
believe
you
can
control
it.
That's
certainly
not
a
free
enterprise
type
of
law,
but
you
know
there
are.
Obviously
you
can
have
other
things
to
deal
with
in
terms
of
dealing
with
affordable
housing,
but
this
is
just
one
one
area
that
could
help
over
time.
B
You
know
to
create
some
more
housing
and
it
would
be
in
the
you
know,
areas
where
we
have
smaller
lots.
Basically,
you
would
probably
would
not
be
in
brady's
ward
for.
B
L
Also
about
supply
and
a
lot
of
things
that
drive
cost
and
increased
costs
as
lack
of
supply
and
not
to
say
that
you're
going
to
produce
so
much
housing
that
is
going
to
drive
down
everybody's
prices,
but
it's
about
housing
choice
and
it's
about
increasing,
increasing
housing,
choice
and
supply
in
the
market.
So
you
know
if
this
is
ocean
avenue,
5000
square
foot
lot,
probably
not
going
to
be
as
affordable
as
something
in
the
auburn
neighborhood
or
off
of
cranston
street.
You
know
it's,
it's
also.
L
But
again
these
issues
come
up
every
single
month,
every
single
week
where
somebody
wants
to
do
something
and
it
makes
sense
with
the
surrounding
neighborhood,
but
they
just
can't
get
there
because
zoning's
not
going
to
approve
it
or
they
don't
want
to
go
through
the
process
of
subdivision
and
going
to
the
zoning
board.
So
again,
it
is
a
small
slice
of
the
overall
affordable
housing
pie.
So
I
don't
think
that
we're
we're
talking
infill
is
going
to
be,
then
you
know,
grounded
in
you
know
the
subsidies
and
the
income
eligibility
requirements.
L
M
Thank
you,
councilman
pabloskis,
yeah,
councilman
vicki.
Obviously
you
know
my
my
hope
to
to
increase
housing,
affordability
and
availability
in
in
the
city,
and
I'm
not
gonna
pretend
to
be
an
expert
on
on
ill
infill.
Zoning
or
you
know,
obviously,
I'm
not
a
planner.
M
M
But
my
concern
is
that
obviously
this
is
a
small
piece
of
the
of
a
you
know,
larger
solution
to
creating
more
how
affordability
in
the
cranston
in
the
city
of
cranston.
But
you
know
I,
I
am
concerned
that
this
could
lead
to.
You-
know:
concentration
of
affordable
housing
and
a
concentration
of
lower
income
lower
to
moderate
income
families
in
certain
parts
of
the
city.
Whereas
I
think
the
you
know,
the
goal
should
be
to
see
a
disbursement
of
of
economic
diversity
throughout
the
city.
M
So
that's
that
that
that's
the
biggest
concern
I
have
with
this.
I
just
don't
want
to
see.
M
I
guess
what
I
would
say
is:
it
is
a
a
greater
concentrate
because
I
think
there
already
is
a
concentration
of
of
poverty
in
certain
parts
of
the
city,
and
I
just
don't
want
to
see
that
continue,
and
I
I
guess
I
have
concerns,
albeit
you
know
again,
I'm
not
an
expert
on
on
this.
But
what
might
accelerate
that
even
greater.
E
N
Yes,
pauline
de
rosa
97
cypress
drive
good
evening
council
members.
I
would
like
to
address
council
vice
president
favicio's
resolution
this
evening.
N
So
I
think
this
resolution
is
packed
with
more
questions
than
there
are
answers
right
now,
and
then
I
understand
that
there
will
have
to
be
further
discussion
on
it.
But
those
are
my
comments.
Thank
you
very
much.
E
B
Yeah
just
and
nice
to
hear
pauline's
voice.
Again
I
haven't
talked
to
her
in
a
while
yeah
I
mean
but
see.
That's
the
precisely
the
problem
I
mean
if
you
have
a
a
neighborhood
and
there's
only
two
or
three
lots
that
are
vacant
and
everything
else
is
built.
B
I
don't
know
how
you
can
say
that
there's
a
tremendous
impact
of
putting
one
house
on
one
street,
one
new
house
on
one
street,
one
new
house
on
another
street
when
the
whole
area
is
built
up
and
has
similar
size
homes
similar
size,
lots.
You
know,
and
we
can't
just
it.
It
would
be
very
difficult
to
do
that
in
in
ward
4,
where
you
have
r80
zones,
I
mean
how
do
you
you
know?
What
do
you
do
with
r40
zone
where
you
have?
B
At
least
you
know,
you
have
half
acre
one
acre,
two
acre
parcels
and
we
require
that
much
land
to
put
a
house
on
we.
You
know,
that's
that's
a
problem
so,
but
I
don't
I
don't.
I
think
that
part
of
the
issue
is
you.
You
can't
control,
you
can't
control
the
the
the
house
any
more
than
you
do
now.
B
The
planning
and
the
building
department
has
to
approve
any
house
that
goes
in
it
has
to
meet
all
the
setbacks
has
to
meet
all
the
requirements
that
every
other
house
in
that
neighborhood
has
and
the
the
building
code
is
far
more
strict
today
than
it
was
when
a
lot
of
those
homes
were
built.
So
I
don't
think
it's.
I
think
it's
a
it's
quite
a
bit
of
work
for
the
planning
board,
but
I
think
the
end
result
could
be
you'd
have
at
least
a
little
more
supply.
B
M
G
You
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
I
just
had
a
quick
question.
This
is
a
resolution
right
where
it's
actually
encouraging
the
mayor
to
put
some
sort
of,
or
the
administration
general
to
put
a
plan
in
place.
So
this
was
to
pass
today
is
that
for
the
current
mayor,
or
is
this
to
be
an
effect
where
it
would
be
encouraging
the
mayor
in
january
to
work
with
the
planning
committee
and
in
general,
but
in
general?
B
I
could
answer
the
question.
I
don't
know,
I
don't
think
it
forces
them
to
do
anything.
I
mean
it,
I'm
asking
them
to
do
it
basically
and
it
may
take
six
months.
Who
knows?
That's
that's
why
I
it's
kind
of
a
suggestion
for
the
next
session.
Sometime
of
argus.
You
know
you
know,
maybe
to
help.
B
G
Thank
you.
I
just
I
was
I'm
not
clear
exactly
that's
why
it's
again,
I
don't
every
day
the
in
our
meetings
is
a
learning
curve
for
me
just
to
understand
and
make
sure
that
I
you
know
that
I'm
understanding
this
correctly
and
what
the
outcome
could
potentially
be.
So
I
wasn't
sure
so.
If
this
was
to
pass
again,
it
would
still
have
to
be
an
ordinance
where
it
would
have
to
be
put
together
where
public
input
input
will
still
be
allowed
right.
Obviously,.
B
That's
why
I
did
it
as
a
resolution
asking
the
administration
this
one
or
the
next
one,
to
to
research
it
thoroughly
and
put
forth
whatever
ordinances
are
necessary.
I
didn't
do
it
in
the
form
of
an
ordinance,
as
we've
been
doing
quite
a
bit
lately
and
then
trying
to
do
all
of
the
the
work
that
that's
required
behind
it.
This
will
take
work.
There's
no
question,
so
I'm
just
asking
that
they
do
it.
If
they
don't
want
to
do
it,
they
or
the
council
next
council
doesn't
want
to
do
it.
G
Thank
you,
I'm
going
to
vote
for
this
this
evening,
just
because
you
know
it's
obviously
a
a
topic
that
has
been
discussed
throughout
the
country,
the
state.
Obviously,
here
within
the
city
as
well,
I
think
it's
a
good
thing
to
start
exploring
and
having
these
type
of
conversations,
and
the
reason
why
I
was
asking
is
just
some.
I
think
anything
obvious
should
have
public
input,
which
is
my
reason
of
asking.
G
I
understand
it's
a
resolution,
it's
not
an
ordinance,
but
again
I'm
just
trying
to
make
sure
that
I
understand
what
would
happen
if
you
know
a
resolution
like
this
was
to
pass,
and
I
look
forward
to
working
on
issues
such
as
this
one,
where
it
would
impact
housing
throughout
throughout
neighborhoods.
G
I
do
want
to
echo
what
councilman
donegan
did
say
as
far
as
making
sure
that
when
we
talk
about
affordability
within
the
city
that
ideally
would
be
great
to
make
sure
that
there's,
if
we
possibly
can,
I
know
sometimes
there's
a
little
bit
of
limited
control
that
we
have
on
on
the
council
side
on
that,
but
it
could
be
dispersed
throughout
the
entire.
You
know
city
and
not
just
a
particular
area,
where
we're
pretty
much
condensed
already.
G
Our
schools
are
a
little
bit
condensed
already,
particularly
in
these
areas
as
well,
which
is
a
is
another
concern,
but
for
the
time
being,
I
will
definitely
we'll
vote
for
this
resolution
this
evening,
and
hopefully
we
can
have
a
conversation
and
continue
the
conversation
on
housing.
As
I
know,
there's
enough
other
housing
ordinances
come
before
us
I'll
be
heard
at
some
point.
So
thank
you.
M
Yeah,
I
I
guess
I'm
you
know
I.
I
recognize
that
it's
just
not
that
it's
just
a
resolution,
but
you
know
it's
not
it's
not
an
ordinance.
So
it's
you
know
we're
not
voting
to
enact
changes
to
the
zoning
code
tonight
I
I
guess
I
just.
M
I
would
want
further
kind
of
data
on
the
impact
that
this
would
have
on
on
certain
parts
of
the
city,
because
not
not
on
on
the
entire
city
and
where,
where
we
could
potentially
see
further
development,
because
you
know,
like
I
said
for
for
many
of
the
points
that
I
brought
up
earlier,
you
know
I
just
I
feel
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
development
in
in
ward,
three
and-
and
you
know,
tensor
housing
is-
is
fine
to
a
limit,
but
anecdotally
there
was
a
vacant
plot
at
the
end
of
farmington
and
farmington
avenue
and
councilman
stykos,
and
I
you
know
really.
M
The
credit
goes
to
councilman
steigos
worked
with
the
the
owner
and
a
little
parcel
of
where
I
believe
a
sewer
line
was
was
transferred
to
the
city
and
now
the
city
has
this
tiny
little
pocket
park
at
the
end
of
farmington
ave.
That
is
a
little
bit
of
green
space
that
people
can
go
and
bring
their
dog
play
catch
sit
under
a
tree.
M
You
know,
there's
there's
not
a
ton
of
spaces
like
that,
and
obviously
that's
one
of
the
nicer
little
parcels
that
we,
you
know,
I'm
afraid
we
could
lose,
but
I'm
just
I'm
concerned
about
how
this
would
impact
different
parts
of
the
war
of
the
city
and
that
it
might
disproportionately
know
create
a
like,
I
said,
create
a
larger
and
greater
concentration
of
of
poverty
or
or
lower
income
families
in
certain
parts
of
the
city.
M
E
Thank
you,
council
member
council,
member
brady.
I
see
your
hand
up.
K
Thank
you
chairman.
I
I
just
want
to
say
councilman
favichio,
obviously
as
you're
coming
here
to
the
end
of
your
10
years
on
the
council,
I
I
totally
appreciate
your
advocacy
for
many
different
causes.
I'm
seeing
this
might
be
one
of
your
last
resolutions,
potentially
your
last
resolution
that
you're
putting
in.
I
always
appreciate
that
you
vested
you
know
every
discussion
point
that
we
came
in.
K
I
appreciate
that
the
administration
is
on
the
call
and
obviously
giving
their
recommendation
for
this
resolution,
so
I
will
be
fully
in
support
of
it,
and
I
also
want
to
let
you
know
that
I
truly
appreciate
your
advocacy
for
the
city
of
granston.
E
Any
councilmember
psychos.
J
Well,
first,
I
I
think
I
have
a
amendment
to
the
to
the
resolution,
which
I
think
is
the
intention
of
the
rebel
resolution.
But
a
couple
of
words
were
goofed
up
on
line
32
shouldn't
it
read
the
honorable
city
council
of
cranston
requests,
adding
the
word
requests
the
administration
to
devise
a
plan
to
amend,
exiting
laws.
J
O
C
I
hope
so
councilman
hopkins
and
councilwoman
jermaine
are
somehow
having
trouble
logging
on
they
can
watch
it.
They
just
can't
speak
okay.
I
I
J
Thank
you,
I'm
a
little
bit
torn
on
this
resolution.
I
think
it's
it.
It
sounds
like
a
good
idea
to
look
at
this
and
I
think
it's
the
kind
of
thing
that
the
planning
department
should
do.
J
J
So
I
really,
I
guess
I
I'm
going
to
vote
for
this,
but
I
would
really
ask
the
planning
department,
I
think
developers,
opinions
should
be
considered
and
I
think,
but
it
should
be
done
like
every
other
member
of
the
public
has
to
do.
If
they
have
something
to
add,
there
should
be
a
hearing
and
they
should
stand
up
and
speak
and
and
give
everyone
the
benefit
of
their
opinion.
J
It
should
not
be
done
secretly
in
your
office
with
mr
bolton
or
mr
murray,
and
then
the
council
has
to
kind
of
drag
it
out
of
the
planning
department
where
these
ideas
came
from.
They
have
ideas
that
are
good.
F
J
Well,
the
secret
part
is
that
that
came
only
after.
I
really
asked
hard
questions
in
the
planning
department.
It
was
not
the
original
explanation.
The
original
explanation
was,
you
know.
Well,
I
don't
want
to
go
into
that.
We
all
know
what
it
was,
but
let's,
let's
have
an
open
forum
and
if
these
ideas
are
are
so
good,
let's
hear
them
in
an
open
forum,
not
in
a
in
a
private
meeting.
I.
F
Agree,
I
think
that
that's
the
role
of
the
planning
commission,
it's
a
role
of
the
committee
meetings
and
its
role,
the
council.
So
I
think
jason
bazulo
was
here
at
every
meeting
to
to
answer
questions
and
give
his
opinions,
and
I
don't
think
the
administration
is
hidden
anything
whatsoever.
I
think
we're
very
transparent.
E
Thank
you,
councilman
cycles.
I
see
public
comments
over
but
allow
attorney
murray
to
speak.
I
see
his
hand
up.
There
are
no
objections.
Go
ahead.
P
Yeah,
thank
you,
mr
president,
just
just
very
quickly
and
I
I
I
just
privately
sent
councilman
psychos
an

I
want
to
underscore
I
had
nothing
to
do
with
this
resolution.
I
learned
about
it
when
I
saw
it
on
the
docket.
I
don't
appreciate
the
suggestions.
Somehow
this
resolution
came
forward
with
some
nefarious
suggestion.
P
I
disclosed
at
the
time
of
the
last
the
dimensional
variance
orders
that
I
did
assist
in
drafting
it
and
asked
the
mayor
to
introduce
it.
It
was
not
just
for
the
cranston
country
club,
it
had
a
more
general
purpose,
but
I
I
don't
appreciate
some
type
of
slight
on
me
that
I
had
nothing
to
do
with
this
resolution.
You're
discussing
right
now
and
that's
all
I
want
to
be
clear.
Thank
you.
E
J
My
mistake
us
I'd
like
to
respond
to
that.
I
didn't
say
anything
about
this
resolution.
He
said
about
the
solar
resolutions
and
I
didn't
want
my
point:
is
that
bob?
If
you
have
good
points,
they
ought
to
be
expressed
in
a
public
forum
where
they
can
be
bounced
around
and
what
happened
on
the
the
the
most
recent
ordinance
was
that
you
went
in
and
and
worked
with
the
planning
department
to
draft
an
ordinance.
J
I
think
you
drafted
the
ordinance
and
that's
what
happened
on
how
we
got
big
solar
plans
and
changes
in
the
comprehensive
plan
was
mr
bolton
went
in,
and
all
I'm
saying
is
that,
instead
of
quietly
going
in
and
getting
to
the
mayor
so
that
you
can
get
what
you
want,
you
ought
to
state
it
at
a
public
meeting
and
it
can
be
discussed
and
that
didn't
happen
on
either
one
of
those.
It
only
happened
that
we
know.
That
is
that
I
asked
you
about
it.
J
J
A
F
E
All
right,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
director
and
councilman
attorney.
We
need
to
stay
on
topic
on
the
resolution
that
is
before
us,
so
we
can
be
here
all
night
talking
about
you
know
whatever,
but
let's
stay
on
topic.
Anything
else
on
the
resolution.
That's
before
us
and
then
I'll
I'll
say
my
piece
on
it.
E
Any
other
discussion
from
the
council,
members
dare
being
none.
I'm
gonna
echo
councilmember
brady's
comments
and
thank
council
member
for
vickio
for
putting
this
in
you
know
you've
been
here
10
years.
This
might
be
your
last
resolution,
along
with
councilmember
psychos.
Thank
you
for
your
10
years
as
well.
I
will
be
voting
for
this
tonight.
I
think
this.
You
know
this
is
non-binding.
E
It's
just
a
resolution,
but
it
gives
the
planning
department
the
opportunity
to
have
those
workshops
and
have
those
meetings
in
open
forums
to
discuss
the
possibility
of
doing
something
with
this,
so
I
will
be
supporting
it
and
it's
up
to
a
future
council
and
a
future
mayor,
probably
down
the
road,
to
take
this
on
any
other
discussion
there
being
none
clerk.
Please
take
the
role
on
the
resolution
as
amended.
I
I
B
Thank
you,
councilman
pepasquas,
sorry,
it
took
so
long
for
a
simple
ask,
but
next
we
have
reported
committees.
The
public
works
committee.
I
know
councilman
hopkins
is
having
some
difficulty
with
the
with
the
audio
portion.
B
Why
don't
you
do
the
public
works
committee,
while
you're
at
it.
E
I
I
B
The
ordinance
committee
8-20-0-3
ordinance
amendment
of
chapter
point,
one
two
code
of
the
city
of
cranston
2005
buildings
and
construction
complaints
sponsored
by
councilman
donegan.
This
was
passed
as
amended
in
committee,
emotional.
E
F
Vice
president,
if
I
may
yes
director
my
only
I
would
I
support
the
the
way
it's
amended,
my
just
questioning
it
says,
considered
and
investigated
by
said
department,
and
then
it
says
such
complaints
will
be
investigated
by
said
department.
Isn't
that
kind
of
duplicitous.
B
Yeah
it's
I
thought
that
was
that
was
removed,
but
I
could
be
wrong
councilman
down
again.
Did
we
take
that
that's
out
of
there.
M
I'll
make
a
motion
to
amend,
to
remove
the
sentence
beginning
with
such
beginning
on
line
26
and
ending
with
said
department
on
line
27.
B
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
any
further
discussion,
all
in
favor
on
the
amendment
I
mean
clerk,
please
take
the
role
on
the
amendment.
I
I
I
E
E
J
G
B
Okay,
thank
you
councilmember.
Did
you
hear
that
amendment.
O
B
Okay,
now,
on
the
the
motion
as
amended,
I
believe
we
had
a
motion
and
a
second
any
further
discussion
on
the
motion.
As
amended
hearing
unclear,
please
take
the
role.
J
C
O
I
I
E
B
Yes,
all
right:
next,
we
have
9-20-01
ordinance
an
amendment
of
title
10.32
code
of
the
city
of
france
without
five
motor
vehicles
in
traffic
removal
of
no
parking
on
in
vernia
sponsored
by
the
mayor.
I
believe
this
motion
to
approve
to
have
a
second.
B
I'll
second,
it
for
discussion,
any
discussion.
R
I
O
I

I
B
Yes,

have
welcome

you're
able
to
actually

on
this
9-20-0-2

code
of
the
city
of
cranston

I
I
E
B
R
O
I
I
I
B
Yes,
next
we
have
the
finance
committee
I'll
continue
on.
I
guess
the
first
item,
five
there's
20-03.
I
believe
that
was
continued.
B
This
was
the
mbes
and
that
is
was
withdrawn,
and
next
we
had
9-20
9-20-07
the
property
tax,
ordinance

of
the
city
of
cranston
2005,
entitled
property
tax
classification,
change
of
tax
value
for
commercial
renewable
energy
systems.
What
did
we
do?
Did
we
continue
that
one
as
well.
H
B
B
B
B
Okay,
okay,
so
now
we
can
go
to
the
resolution
authorizing
real
estate
tax
abatements
this
past
couple
hours
ago,.
O
I
I
R
O
I
I
B
B
R
O
I
I
R
O
B
Yes,
that
here
of
finance
under
public
hearing,
madam
clerk,
any
comments
to
be
read
into
the
record.
B
Let's
see
did
we
do
we
have
any
was,
I
know
we
allowed
people
to
speak
on
individual
items.
Any.
B
E
B
R
O
O
I
I
R
O
I
I
I
B
O
R
O
I
I
B
F
Council
vice
president,
I
spoke
to
solicitor
rawson
today
and
he
was
not
able
to
get
you
the
counsel,
the
document
for
this
meeting.
So
we
will
have
that
this
week
to
you
and
if
there's
any
questions,
please
reach
out
to
me
personally
on
that:
okay.
B
Thank
you
director,
perello
director
perrillo.
You
have
the
next
item.
F
Yes,
deputy
chief
richard
mancini
is
asked
to
continue
for
another
additional
year
of
service.
He
did
pass
his
medical
background
and
we
asked
the
council
to
approve
his
appreciation
of
service.
A
O
I
I
B
Yes,
next
under
council
president
communications,
since
I'm
acting
tonight,
I'll
just
I'll
just
say
I
I
did
not
expect
to
create
a
firestorm
with
my
with
a
simple
resolution
and
I
certainly
did
not
have
any
discussions
with
mr
murray,
something
that
I've
been
looking
at
for
over
a
year
on
my
own,
so
just
to
put
the
record
straight,
and
I
apologize
if
mr
murray
was
offended
by
anything,
but
he
had
nothing
to
do
with
it.
Next
council,
member
communications
council,
member
of
august,
you
had
something.
G
Yes,
I
did
thank
you,
chad,
so
I
just
had
I
think,
on
the
council
dock.
You
know
there
was.
Is
it
broad
street
cemetery
yeah
just
wanted
to
ask
the
administration,
if
possible
through
the
chair?
If
what
is
the
last
update
on
the
cemetery,
I
think
the
last
time
that
I
was
pretty
much
given
some
sort
of
update
was
actually
let
me
go
back.
G
I
think
it
was
maybe
over
a
year
ago,
right
around
a
year
ago,
where
there
was
a
couple
of
complaints
coming
in
coming
my
way
from
constituents
to
live
around
the
area
and
families
whose
loved
ones
are
laid
to
rest
there,
and
I
had
forwarded
some
pictures
over
and
at
the
same
time,
think
that
the
owner,
mr
rod
at
some
point,
was
given
some
sort
of
notice,
because
of
either
the
the
grass
and
the
overgrowth
and
and
and
the
fact
that
there
was
a
lot
of
just
unfortunate
a
lot
of
folks
where
maybe
I
just
came
into
the
cemetery
and
they
would
dump
mattresses
and
just
dump
a
lot
of
things
into
that
cemetery.
G
Where
I
understand
he
has
very
limited
control
to
an
extent,
but
most
recently
there
was
a
it
was
like
a
manhole.
That's
right,
I
believe
it's
on
the
cemetery's
property,
but
it's
like
literally
right
on
the
line
on
the
sidewalk
and
I
wasn't
sure
if
he
had
and
if
he
ended
up
going
to
court.
G
I
know
kobe
hit,
but
I
didn't
know
if
he
ended
up
making
it
to
court
if
he
did
not
make
it
to
court,
because
I
believe
the
building
that's
very
visible
right
on
the
broad
street
side
was
in
really
really
bad
conditions,
but
I
think
part
of
the
roof
was
actually
been
keeping
in.
At
one
point,
there
was
wire
sticking
out,
and
so
I'm
I'm
really
concerned
that
if
I
know
it's
a
cemetery,
I
know
it's
private
property
at
that
point,
there's
very
very
limited
control.
G
I
think
of
maybe
what
we
can
do
and
in
my
conversations
with
mr
russell
dudd
was
that
there
is
some
sort
of
account
or
trust
or
some
sort
of
where,
unfortunately,
he
has
no
way
of
withdrawing
those
funds
and
using
it
as
operational
expenses,
but
only
the
interest
that
is
made
out
of
it.
It's
really
really
disheartening
to
see
a
cemetery
like
that,
and
at
some
point
I
not
sure
if
this
is
some
sort
of
language
that
maybe
has
to
be
brought
up
to
the
state.
G
Is
there
anything
as
a
city
we're
able
to
do?
We
have
two
sections
of
the
fence
right
on
broad
street,
of
where
their
the
poles
are
falling
apart.
He
mentioned
to
me
that
it
was
two
cars
that
actually
crashed
into
that
area,
which
none
of
them
actually
had
car
insurance,
so
he
couldn't
go
through.
He
couldn't
go
after
them
and
there
has
been
cleanup.
There's
been
cleanups
over
the
years.
I
recall
the
community
last
year
around
october
did
a
cleanup
as
well,
and
I
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out.
G
G
Chairman,
if
I
can
answer
to
councilman
hopkins,
thank
you,
I
reached
out
kenny,
I'm
sorry
councilman
hopkins.
I
reached
out
to
them
already
I've
been
having
conversations
since
last
year,
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
he
said
she
said,
but
apparently
from
a
member
that
I
spoke
to,
they
had
reached
out.
They
try
to
help
and
he
was
unappreciative
and
I
don't
want
to
point
fingers
out.
G
But
that's
what
I
was
told
when
there
was
a
group
of
young
kids
who
ended
up
cleaning
the
cemetery
the
commission
tried
to
helping
out
and
they
couldn't
get
a
hold
of
them
eventually,
when
they
did
it,
it
was
winter
time
they
were
told
that
he
was
not
living
in
the
state
at
the
at
the
time,
and
I'm
being
told
that
the
actual
commission
in
itself
is
really
been
trying
themselves
to
try
to
figure
out
what
they
can
do,
but
they're
also
very
limited,
and
that's
why
I'm
bringing
it
to
the
attention,
if
there's
anything
that
we
can
even
do
on
the
state
side,
which
I
think
we're
limited
as
well.
G
If
it
requires
legislation
anything
along
those
lines,
I
brought
it
up
to
the
attention
of
senator
miller
and
he's
trying
to
figure
out
what
we're
able
to
do
on
that
end.
But
if
this
gentleman
who's
the
heir
he's
the
last
in
line
of
his
family
passes,
you
know,
I
think
I
I
don't
know
how
that
works.
I'm
not
an
attorney,
don't
want
to
try
to
be
an
attorney
right
now
and
try
to
you
know
say
I
think
this
is.
G
But
for
the
time
being,
he's
with
us
right
now
and
there
has
been
family
members
who
have
reached
out
to
me
because
they're
trying
to
deliver
a
tombstone
and
there
has
been
no
call
now-
we
can't
tell
in
a
way
we
I
think
we
have
limited
powers
as
to
how
you
can
tell
an
actual
business
owner,
how
to
run
their
business.
G
G
But
it's
really
disheartening
and
the
reason
why
I'm
responding
to
you
regarding
the
commission
in
general,
because
when
I
spoke
to
a
woman
I
get
a
woman
who's
on
the
commission
in
the
city
it
was,
it
was
just
really
a
dead
end
and
the
mausoleum
doesn't
belong
to
him
either
and
the
grass
has
gotten
cut
in
the
summer,
but
it
gets
cut
only
the
first
20
feet
where
he's
no
longer
visible.
G
So
again,
I
know
that
I
they
got
the
gentleman
had
gotten
sighted,
I'm
not
after
having
somebody
get
cited,
but
I'm
just
trying
to
make
sure
we
keep
people
accountable.
Just
the
same
way.
We
keep
residents
accountable
as
well.
R
I'll
be
more
than
happy
to
work
on
it
with
you,
councilman
councilwoman,
all.
F
I'm
not
aware
of
mr
dodd's
financial
situation.
I
know
we
did
take
into
court
because
of
the
violations.
The
inspections
department,
anne
marie
in
particular,
has
been
very
active
in
dealing
with
the
property.
F
We
did
get
a
court
order
in
august
to
go
on
the
property
and
clean
it
all
up
which
we
intend
on
doing
very
very
shortly,
between
parks
and
recreation
and
the
highway
department.
We
are
going
to
go
in
there
and
do
a
massive
cleanup
of
the
property
for
the
court
order,
and
the
court
order
also
makes
him
either
demolish
or
reconstruct
the
structure
on
the
promise
on
the
premises
that
you're
speaking
of
so
the
city,
has
a
role.
G
Through
the
chair,
if
I
can
to
the
director,
if
possible,
sure
director
pirillo,
so
what
happens
when
the
city
goes
in?
Is
I
assume
that's
a
lien
correct
that
then
takes
place
after
that?
G
F
We're
not
going
to
get
payment
for
it.
We
understand
the
city
is
pretty
much
that
because
this
gentleman's
claiming
he
has
no
financial
capabilities
to
upkeep
it
himself.
So
leaning,
the
property
is
not
going
to
really
serve
us
a
purpose.
So
basically,
we
asked
the
court
for
permission
to
go
on
to
his
property
and
clean
it
up
for
him
and
that
was
granted
to
us
by
the
court.
G
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
I
do
have
another
question:
if
possible,
there
isn't.
There
is
some
sort
of
an
account
that
he
had
mentioned.
G
Is
there
any
way
at
all
that
we
are
able
to,
as
a
municipal
court,
ask
him
the
the
status
on
that
account
that
he
has
that
is
set
where,
and
I
forgot
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
some
sort
of
trust
or
specifically
type
of
account
that
he
has,
but
because
he's
mentioned,
that
he
has
an
account
he's
unable
to
withdraw
only
just
what
it's
being
made
from
interest
account.
F
Hopefully,
I'm
not
100
sure
what
the
power
of
the
miscible
court
is
regarding
diving
into
the
finances
like
that.
I
think
at
this
point
you're
not
in
our
view,
it's
more
of
a
hazard.
So
that's
why
we're
going
in
there
to
clean
it
up
and
take
the
debris
away?
We're
not
really
concerned
with
the
repayment.
It's
basically
trying
to
maintain
it.
Keep
it
safe.
Keep
the
manholes
in
place,
keep
the
wires
where
they
should
be
and
maintaining
it.
F
So
no
one
gets
hurt
on
the
property,
but
that's
really
our
focus
as
opposed
to
getting
reimbursed
for
the
for
the
time
and
service.
G
Well,
it's
definitely
a
start,
and
I
I
appreciate
it
because
I
remember
putting
this-
I
think,
on
the
docket,
maybe
sometime
last
year,
and
if,
if
there's
anything
else
that
we're
able
to
do
again,
I'm
not
trying
to
go
ahead,
and
you
know
in
a
way
tell
the
gentleman
how
to
run
his
business.
But
it's
also
unfortunate
the
way
you
know
it
is.
We
have
tombstones
that
are
veteran
tombstones
that
are
knocked
off,
I'm
not
saying
it's
him.
G
So
I
understand
his
frustration
when
he's
also
letting
me
know
that
there's
been
there's
people
dumping,
so
many
things
in
there
to
the
point
that
when
I
remember
doing
a
cleanup
last
year
there
were
certain
things
that
I
had
to
warn
my
volunteers
as
a
heads
up
not
not
to
pick
up
and-
and
the
city
was
generous
enough
of
actually
even
picking
up
the
stuff
from
the
cleanup
and
leaves
and
debris
that
monday
afterwards,
but
is
there
anything
we're
even
able
to
do
is
regarding
even
defense
in
in
itself.
F
G
C
G
F
No
I've
seen
it.
I
mean
the
only
thing
he's
ordered
to
do
by
the
court
if
they'll
reconstruct
or
demolish
the
structure
on
the
pres
on
the
premises
and
then
report
back
to
the
court
as
to
how
he
goes
about
doing
that.
So
it's
pretty
vague
in
the
court
order
and
the
consent
order.
So
I'm
not
sure
we
can
mandate
can
do
much
more
than
what
the
judge
ordered
him
to
do.
G
G
Okay,
so
is
it
fair
to
say
that
I
can
keep
this
on
the
next
council
communications
for
next
month,
just
to
kind
of
follow
up
and
see
where
we
are?
If
it's
been
okay,
if
to
the
clerk,
if
you
don't
mind
or
determine,
if,
if
I
may,
I
continue
to
add
this
I'll
leave
it
on
the
council.
That
would
be
appreciated.
K
You
chairman,
just
if
I
could
briefly
on
that
last
topic:
councilwoman
vargas,
councilman
papaluskas,
mr
hopkins
and
myself
in
the
past-
didn't
have
the
best
experience
working
with
the
that
that
committee,
the
cemetery
committee,
either
we
you
know
we
went
in
and
we
adopted
a
couple
spots
and
spent
the
time
cleaning
him
on
myself.
So
I'm
that's!
K
I'm
not
suggesting
that's
the
answer,
but
if
you
do
go
that
avenue
and
find
yourself
not
getting
that
far,
I'm
sure
we'd
all
be
willing
to
help
you
clean
up
that
area
on
behalf
of
the
deceased.
So
I
did
want
to
offer
that.
K
Regarding
the
agenda,
my
topic
is
going
to
be
continued
to
next
month
that
I
did
put
on
here,
but
I
was
asked
by
a
constituent
to
ask
on
the
record
if
director
pirillo
got
a
update
on
the
email
that
I
sent
earlier
regarding
the
leak
I
assume,
since
it
was
just
dropped
on
your
desk.
You
might
not
have
one,
but
I
was
asked
to
ask
a
director.
F
K
Thank
you,
sir,
and
I
appreciate
your
assistance
on
the
stop
sign
issue
and
and
other
issues
we
had
this
week.
You've
been
very
responsive
and
I
truly
appreciate
it.
B
Thank
you,
councilman
hopkins.
I
know
you've
had
difficulty
getting
on.
So
if
you
wanted
to
say
anything.
R
Thank
you
chairman.
Yes,
I
I
did
as
recently
as
yesterday
and
today
I've
had
an
issue
on
pontiac
avenue,
where
the
I
don't
know,
if
it's
the
homeless
population
or
the
people
that
are
being
let
out
of
harrington
hall,
it's
actually
a
two-fold
issue.
Some
of
them
have
been
sleeping
in
an
abandoned
building
literally
right
on
pontiac
avenue
we've.
I
was
just
sent
the
pictures
this
afternoon.
That's
why
I
didn't
get
them
to
director
pirillo
yet,
but
it
looks
like
people
are
sleeping
there.
R
I
went
by
and
checked
and
I
found
a
piece
of
plywood
put
up,
possibly
to
brace
them
from
some
of
the
cold
winds,
but
also
that
they're
getting
in
through
abandoned
windows
and
they're
staying
in
there,
and
if
you
happen
to
drive
by
the
property,
it's
it's
pretty
nasty
where
they're
leaving
all
of
their
debris.
R
I
did
call
councilman,
I'm
sorry,
representative,
chris
malay,
he's
aware
of
the
situation
trying
to
work
with
on
the
state
level,
but
I
I
would
also
ask
if
we're
gonna,
take
a
look
at
this,
that
we
should
look
at
the
bus,
stop
where
these
people
are
let
out
they
come
out
and
literally
right
at
the
the
apartments
on
pontiac
avenue,
and
I'm
wondering
if
ripta
could
move
that
to
an
area
where,
where
we're
not
close
to
our
constituents,
that
bus
stop
possibly
move
it
further
down
where
it's
more
of
an
industrial
area.
R
But
I
don't
think
it's
an
appropriate
place
for
a
bus
stop,
especially
knowing
the
number
of
sex
offenders
that
are
let
out
of
harrington
hall
at
night
that
jump
on
that
bus
and
then
head
down
into
the
city.
R
So
I'd
like
to
see
if
we
can
get
ripped
and
move
that
bus
stop
as
well,
but
if
the
administration
could
again
through
the
state,
maybe
take
a
look
at
this.
It's
becoming
an
issue
more
so
lately
and
I've
had
complaints
from
constituents
for
the
last
24
hours
about
it.
F
Councilman
is
the:
is
the
residents
they're
occupying
state
property,
or
is
it
a
private
residence?
Do
you
know.
R
The
residence
where
they're
staying
is
an
abandoned
former
state
building
looks
like
it
was
a
prison
at
one
point
right
on
the
right
on
the
main
road
and
the
apartments
across
the
street
are,
I
think
they
call
the
pontiac
apartments
where
you
take
the
left
at
the
where
the
charter
school
is,
which
would
also
give
me
another
reason
to
thank
god
our
kids
aren't
in
school
all
the
time
right
now,
but
having
that
bus
stop
in
that
area
is
kind
of
raises
a
red
flag.
For
me.
B
Appreciate
it
anything
else,
councilman
hopkins.
No,
I'm
good.
E
Thank
you,
mr
vice
president.
This
is
the
first
main
council
meeting
since
the
passing
of
former
council
president
john
lannie.
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
minute
to
acknowledge
everything
he
did
for
the
city,
not
only
as
a
city-wide
councilman,
but
the
fifth
ward,
councilman
and
I'll
certainly
be
missed,
and
he
definitely
left
his
mark
on
the
council
on
the
city,
and
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
to
express
deeper
sympathies
to
the
family
and
to
you
know,
you
know,
he'll
be
missed.
B
Thank
you
for
bringing
that
up,
but
I
did
attend
the
the
brief
ceremony
that
they
had
at
the
church
for
john
lanny,
and
I
I
served
with
him
for
eight
of
the
councilman
psychos
and
I
served
with
him
for
about
eight
years
eight
of
our
ten
years,
I
believe
with
councilman
lanny,
and
he
was
always
a
gentleman
and
and
did
a
fine
job
and
really
spent
a
lot
of
his
time
working
for
the
city,
so
my
condolences
as
well
to
the
family.
Anyone
else
from
the
council
have
any
other
concerns.
B
I
don't
see
any
other
hands,
there'd
be
no
further
business
for
the
council.
The
next
meeting,
the
next
full
council
meeting
will
be
yes,.
B
B
O
H
I
I
B
C
R
Just
is
there
a
chance
that
we
can
get
back
into
chambers
like
to
bring
that
up
for
discussion,
yeah.
B
I've
been
asking
the
administration
and
and
asking
the
school
to
school
committee,
how
they're
doing
it
because
they've
been
doing
it,
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
that
library
or
yes.
B
Been
in
the
east
library
and
they've
been
doing
only
zoom
for
the
public.
I
believe
that's
the
way
they've
been
doing
it
director
perello.
So
I,
if
you
know,
if
you
want
to
just
take
one
last,
look
at
that
and
see
if
there's
any
way
we
could
make
use
of
their
technology.
I
don't
know
what
they're
doing
but
they're
doing
something
to
accommodate
both
in
person
and
the
public
comment.
B
Well,
I
mean
yeah.
I
think
that
you
know
I
mean,
because
we
have
a
couple
of.
We
may
have
a
lengthy
audience
hearing
next
month
as
well
with,
and
I
can
already
see
some
issues
with
documents
and
charts
and
things
of
that
nature
that
might
be
very
difficult
online.
B
I
know
we
received
a
239
page
traffic
study
on
something,
so
I
don't
know
how
we're
going
to
deal
with
a
lot
of
this
stuff.
But
if
you
want
to
just
take
a
look
at
that
and
let.
F
Us
know,
I
know
my
conversation
with
the
superintendent
and
and
ed.
They
were
not
interested
in
having
any
public
in
for
the
for
the
meeting.
So
it
would
be
probably
just
the
the
council
itself
with
no
public
and
then
we
would
have
to.
F
B
B
O
B
Yes,
no,
I
we
were
aware
that
you
and
councilman
hopkins
were
listening
in
on
the
meeting.
I
apologize
for
the
difficulty
and
we
just
discussed
trying
to
maybe
do
the
next
couple
of
meetings
in
person
so
that
at
least
the
council
could
be
sharing
space
and
have
the
public
come
in
as
they
are
tonight
on
zoom
or
telephonically,
so,
okay,
anything
council,
member
jermaine,
any
anything
else.
You
wanted
to
add
to
the
meeting
now
that
you're
able
to
speak.
O
Yes,
I
have
a
couple's
a
complaint.
I
would
thousand
think
about
a
resolution
in
ordinance,
mostly
it's
about
traffic
and
complaint
about
speeding
in
our
world,
so
I'm
planning
to
submit
some
ordinance
to
address
those
issues.
