D
My
name
is
Roland
Goss
and
I've,
been
an
employee
of
the
city
for
27
years,
I've
been
assigned
to
the
station
behind
City
Hall
for
18
of
them.
I
just
recently
moved
this
past
summer
my
car
was
damaged
by
someone
in
the
neighborhood
that
came
through
the
lot.
Nobody
knows
why
he
did
it:
keyed
a
bunch
of
cars
and
left
damage
on
my
car
and
another
person's
car.
D
That's
on
the
claims
committee
tonight
I
came
here
to
speak
on
my
on
my
behalf
and
and
Bob's
behalf
actually,
but
he's
not
here
to
hear
this,
but
this
has
been
an
ongoing
problem.
Over
the
years,
the
27
years,
I've
we've
had
two
cars
stolen
one
from
this
lot
from
our
from
our
own
firemen
and
one
in
Edgewood.
We've
had
homeless
people
sleeping
in
the
vehicles
at
the
fours
that
have
the
car
has
been
left,
unlocked
and
wake
up
and
there's
been
a
homeless
person
sleeping
in
their
car.
It's
it's
an
ongoing
battle.
D
I,
don't
I
I
get
the
the
sentiment
that
you
know:
I'm
I'm,
a
person
that
Parks
my
car
out
here.
It's
like
parking,
your
car
anywhere
else.
It
could
get
damaged
anywhere
else,
but
I'm
on
duty
being
paid
by
the
city
to
work.
I
can't
watch
my
car
24
7..
Nor
can
you
in
any
public
parking
spot.
This
lot
is
being
used
as
a
public
parking
spot
for
the
cinema,
I'm
I'm,
under
the
understanding.
Now
that's
being
used
for
parking
for
the
for
the
cinema.
D
So
now
we're
going
to
have
people
from
out
of
state
parking
in
the
slot.
Our
cars
are
sitting
out
there
to
anybody,
whether
they
get
their
Windows
smashed
or
scratched
or
keyed
or
whatever
something
needs
to
be
done.
I'm
looking
for
my
reimbursement
for
the
money,
I
put
out
to
fix
my
car,
that's
the
main
reason
I'm
here,
but
I'm
also
looking
down
the
road
that
they
need
to
secure
this
lot
and
the
Lots
around
the
city.
It's
for
us!
You
look
at
Providence.
Every
fire
station
has
a
fenced
scenario.
D
D
So
why
can't
we
do
it
and
I
under
understanding
that
city
workers
have
had
their
cause
damage
out
here
in
this
lot,
so
secure
an
area
out
here
for
the
city
and
the
fire
department
and
whoever
works
here
for
the
city
of
the
teachers
to
put
their
cars
in
and
the
kids
can
park
outside
that
fenced,
an
area
that
way
at
night
when
I
go
on,
runs
from
in
the
station
or
any
of
my
other
co-workers.
They
won't
have
to
worry
about
my
car
being
damaged.
D
It's
not
fair
to
me
I'm
doing
my
due
diligence
coming
to
work.
You
know
and
I
just
want
to
see
that
paid
forward.
I,
don't
know
if
that
that
can
be
accomplished.
I
know
everything's
a
dollar
but,
like
I
said,
I
wanted
to
come
and
speak
on.
My
behalf,
I
think
there's
a
a
form
attached
to
my
material.
My
particular
incident
was
caught
on
video.
As
a
police
report.
That's
been
filed,
I,
don't
know
if
you
have
all
that
with
you.
D
So
little
unique
we
caught
the
guy
I,
don't
know
what
the
city
did
with
him.
They
took
him
to
court,
but
he
since
moved
he's,
not
there
anymore.
So
now
the
chase
is
on
and
I
I
don't
think
I
should
be
out
of
pocket
for
for
the
money,
nor
should
the
other
gentleman
that
had
his
car
keyed
from
our
job,
while
we're
working
we're
doing
our
due
diligence
to
provide
protection
for
the
city
I'm
just
looking
for
that
to
be
reimbursed.

Thank

Thank

My
name
is
Lenny
Bradley
Jr
I'm,
a
professional
engineer
with
Dupree
engineering
located
at
two
Stafford
Court
Cranston
Rhode
Island
good
evening
Mr,
chairman
and
members
of
the
committee
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
Colby
Enterprises,
who
is
the
owner
of
the
property
that
we're
here
to
talk
about
tonight?
The
property
is
currently
there
existing
or
was
there
business
headquarters,
they
have
moved
and
they
basically
want
to
redevelop
this
property
into
one
of
the
seasons,
markets,
gas
stations
that
they've
been
renovating
throughout
Rhode,
Island
and
Massachusetts.
J
There
happens
to
be
a
cemetery
on
the
property.
I
have
with
me,
Jay
I'm,
sorry,
jay,
Waller
from
public
archeology
laboratory
who's
done
a
lot
of
the
work
to
support
the
application
to
do
the
improvements
on
the
site
because
we're
doing
work
within
25
feet
of
the
limits
of
the
cemetery.
We're
required
to
get
permission
from
the
city
to
do
this,
this
the
renovations
to
the
site,
the
improvements
to
the
site.
J
If
you
look
at
the
the
materials
that
we
submitted,
you
will
see
that
today,
as
it
is
as
it
stands.
There's
existing
pavement
and
drainage
infrastructure
within
that
25
foot
offset
today
in
what
we
are
proposing
to
do
is
essentially
repave
that
area
as
part
of
the
expansion
or
part
of
the
the
renovation
of
the
the
property
there.
So
that's
why
we're
here
Jay
can
speak
more
to
the
archeology
piece
of
it.
J
So
we,
our
last
step,
is
to
come
before
the
city
council
and
get
your
sign
off
so
that
we
can
proceed
with
the
project.
We've
done
a
lot
of
engineering
on
this
site
today
it
is
with
the
Department
of
Environmental
Management
for
a
Wetlands
permit,
and
it
is
also
with
the
Rhode
Island
Department
of
Transportation
for
a
physical
alteration,
application
permit
and
we
have
been
before
the
city
planning
staff
for
a
development
plan
review
and
we've
done
a
pre-application.
So
we've
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
we've
done.
J
We
still
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
This
is
one
of
the
steps
that
we
have
so
I
don't
want
to
keep
going
on.
If
you
have
questions
of
me
or
or
if
Jay
we're
here,
I
have
presentation
boards
I
can
put
up
on
the
easel.
If
you
like
to
describe
the
work
in
more
detail,
it's
whatever
the
pleasure
of
the
committee
is
at
this
point.
K
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Jay
Waller
Jr
I'm,
a
senior
archaeologist
with
the
public
archeology
laboratory
out
of
Pawtucket
Rhode
Island
26
Main
Street
I've
been
practic,
I've,
been
an
archaeologist
working
in
the
state
for
almost
30
years
now,
and
I've
done
I've
been
involved
in
dozens
of
cemetery
projects,
including
a
number
here
in
the
city
of
Cranston.
So
we
were
contracted
by
Colbert
to
assist
them
with
compliance
with
the
Cranston
historical
Cemetery
ordinance,
as
well
as
the
state
historic
Cemetery
Act,
so
in
contract.
K
So
it's
two
family
cemeteries,
but
it's
more
or
less
in
confined
to
one
area.
So
the
long
and
the
short
of
it
is,
we
conducted
a
field
review
of
the
existing
conditions,
documented
disturbance
on
all
four
sides
of
the
existing
stone
walls
that
was
previously
Disturbed,
and
we
also
tracked
the
history
of
the
cemetery
itself.
It
was
established
in
the
1800s
in
the
19th
century
and
until
1972
thereabouts
when
295
went
in,
it
was
surrounded
by
Farm
Fields.
K
There
was
nothing
out
there,
but
wouldn't
the
highway
or
with
the
with
295
development
of
the
area.
The
intersection
Plainfield
Pike,
as
well
as
295
development
of
the
area,
rapidly
increased
and
then
by
late
1980s.
It
pretty
much
was
at
the
configuration
right
now.
The
assessment
in
our
consensus
was
that
the
cemetery,
the
project,
will
not
have
any
impact
on
the
cemetery
on
either
Cemetery
actually
technically,
and
that
construction
is
unlikely
to
impact
unmarked
Graves.
K
Should
not
be
no,
because
any
work
that
was
done
there.
Utilities
are
all
around
all
four
sides,
as
well
as
the
highway
itself.
If
there
was
something
at
one
time,
previous
construction
would
have
Disturbed
it,
but
we
don't
even
believe
that
that's
the
case.
We
believe
that
the
graves
themselves
are
contained
within
these
stone
walls
that
are
in
the
stone
fence
that
surround
the
burial
plots
themselves
and
they
do
appear
to
be
original.
K
Not
no
there's,
no,
we
went
through
the
site
records
and
the
state
files
there
was
no
evidence
of
human
remains
were
recorded
archaeological
sites
that
were
on
Earth
anywhere
around
that
nearby,
not
when
I,
say
nearby
I'm
talking
like
a
quarter
of
a
mile,
but
nothing
in
the
immediate
vicinity
within
a
stone's
throw.
Thank.
I
Thank
you,
I!
Don't
want
to
make
assumptions
so
I'm
just
going
to
ask
the
question
with
respect
to
the
cemeteries.
I
know
you're
not
going
to
be
doing
any
work
in
in
the
cemetery
itself.
But
what
protections
are
you
going
to
place
in
the
around
the
perimeter
of
the
cemetery?
To
ensure
that
you
know
someone
doesn't
get
a
piece
of
equipment
and
park
it
over
on
the
grass
not
realizing
there
are
Stones
there.
K
J
To
add
to
what
Jay
said
is
part
of
our
plan
preparation
work
that
we
do.
We
actually
demarcate
a
limit
of
disturbance
which
basically
circumnavigates
the
whole
site
and
typically
what
we
require
the
contractor
to
do
is
to
put
up
you
know
a
straw
waddle,
a
silt
fence
to
demarcate
what
the
limit
of
construction
is
stated.
They
don't
go
beyond
that.
So.
J
That
that's
my
experience
as
well
is
that
the
you
know
property
owners
and
sometimes
some
communities,
the
DPW.
If
it's
not
maintained,
will
go
in
there
a
moment,
that's
what
I've
seen
But.
Typically,
it's
the
families
that
own
it
and
and
the
property
owners,
so
Colby
is
a
great
Steward
and
so
I'm
sure
they'll
they'll
do
what
they
they'll
do
their
piece
to
keep
it
clean.
F
Just
so
I
was
going
to
ask
the
question:
councilman
Campbell
piano
stole
my
thunder
over
the
years.
I
get
a
lot
of
complaints,
I'm
sure
you
all
have
about
historical
cemeteries
and
not
maintained,
and
whenever
I
get
off
the
highway
on
a
Plainfield
Pike.
You
know
that
so
those
cemeteries
are
The,
Grass,
Is,
Always
cut
it's
clean
and
I've
never
received
a
phone
call.
F
So
if
Colby
is
maintaining
that
and-
and
you
know,
paying
respect-
and
that's
great
so
I'm
happy
to
hear
that
and
I'm
also
happy
that
the
state
letter
says
that
they
have
no
objections
to
the
city
council
permitting
construction.
So
it
seems,
like
you,
cut
all
your
eyes
crossed
and
he's
crossed
and
eyes
dotted.
Thank
you.
