From YouTube: Claims Committee - Part One, January 13, 2022
Description
Claims Committee - Prior to the Start of Executive Session
January 13, 2022
A
All
right
next
on
the
docket
is
the
approval
of
the
minutes
from
the
last
meeting.
Those
minutes
are
not
yet
available.
So
do
we
need
a
motion
to
continue
on
that
or
we
do
I'll
entertain
a
motion.
C
C
Yes,
point
of
information,
mr
chairman
of.
B
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
I
do
see
that
we
have
someone
in
the
audience
this
evening.
Is
there
anyone
from
the
public
that
wishes
to
speak
on
any
matter
before
the
committee
this
evening.
A
If,
if
well
we're
all
virtual,
if
you're
on
the
phone,
I
believe
you'd
have
to
press
star
nine
to
unmute
yourself
and
if
you're
on
the
computer,
you
can
just
raise
your
hand
and
tom,
mr
tomly
will
be
able
to
add
you
to
the
panel
to
speak.
C
A
Seems
to
be
on
their
end,
they
need
to
unmute
themselves.
It
is
star
nine.
C
Mr
chairman,
yes,
while
we
work
on
the
the
constituent,
that's
called
in
attorney,
vedakia
will
be
on
the
call
in
about
16
and
90
seconds
he's
working
on
it.
Great
thank.
A
You
to
the
person
that's
at.
A
I'll
give
it
another
30
seconds,
if
not
I'll
I'll,
make
the
assumption
that
you're
here
to
to
spectate
this
evening
and
not
you're
not
seeking
to
speak
under
public
comment.
A
D
Yeah
hi:
this
is
chester,
salisbury,
96,
mason,
nav,
cranston.
A
Hi,
mr
salisbury
good
evening,
please,
if
you'd
like
you
can
the
floor
is
yours
to
to.
Let
us
know
why
you're
here.
D
Oh
okay,
I
had
a
claim
on
the
tree
branch
that
landed
on
my
house
from
a
city
tree
and
I
put
in
a
claim
and
it
was
denied
so
I'm
appealing
on
it.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
mr
salisbury,
so
the
the
claims
committee,
our
process
is
a
little
bit
different
than
other
than
other
committees.
What
we
do
is
we
go
into
executive
session,
where
it's
just
the
members
of
the
committee
and
legal
counsel
and
then
we'll
and
we
discuss
the
claims
before
the
city
and
then
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
come
out
of
executive
session
afterwards.
So
we.
A
Won't
be
included
in
that
conversation,
we're
allowed
to
go
into
kind
of
a
private.
B
A
Virtually
according
to
rhode,
island,
general
law.
So
if
we
leave,
if
we
leave
the
room
so
to
speak,
just
want
you
to
understand
what's
going
on,
but
thank
you
for
coming
this
evening
and
and
letting
us
know
why.
You're
here.
D
D
A
Well
is:
is
there
any?
Is
there
any
additional
information
you'd
like
us
to
have,
while
you
have
you
know,
while
the
floor
is
yours
to,
let
us
know
why
we
should
approve
your
claim.
D
Well:
okay,
I'm
the
denial.
They
said
your
claim
was
denied,
because
the
city
had
no
indication
that
the
tree
branch
required
removal
and
karma
and
therefore
do
not
act.
Negligency,
negligency,
okay
and
what
I
put
on
my
initial
claim
that
the
indication
that
that
required
removal
goes
back
to
a
year
ago
when
a
branch
just
under
the
branch
that
caused
the
damage
this
time
was
removed
and
they
didn't
remove
the
branch
that
caused
the
damage
this
time.
D
And
I
think
they
asked
me
to
embellish
it
a
little
bit
bit
and
I
put
down
that
the
tree
branch
that
fell
was
rotted
but,
and
they
say
no
indication,
but
if
that
had
been
removed
before
it
wasn't
the
rock
that
caused
the
cause
of
damage
that
it
was
the
tree
should
have
been,
the
branch
should
have
been.
Second
branch
should
have
been
removed.
Then
the
last
time.
A
Yeah,
I
think
you've
you've
made
your
your
your
point
clear
and
that's.
I
appreciate
you
and
we
appreciate
you
coming
and
sharing
that
information.
I
can't
we
can't
really
go
back
and
forth
on
the
the
merits
of
the
claim.
Like
I
said
it's,
what
you've
shared
with
us
this
evening,
we'll
take
that
into
consideration,
along
with
the
documentation
that
we
previously
had
and
we'll
consider
your
appeal.
A
So
the
vote,
the
vote
has
to
take
place
in
executive
session,
which
we
will.
If
we
were
in
city
hall,
the
the
nine
of
us
we
would
get
up
and
we
would
go
into
a
private
conference
room
and
we
we
take
votes
in
executive
session
and
then
we
come
out
and
report
on
the
votes
taken.
So
the
vote
won't
be
taken
in
public.
It's
taken
an
executive
session.
D
I
don't
know
whether
the
the
initial
claim
was
based
on
supposedly
being
rotted,
but
that
shouldn't
have
been
the
the
thing
for
the
for
the
reason
it
went.
It
went
down,
it
should
have
been
removed
before
it
wouldn't
make
any
diff
if
it
was
removed,
it
wouldn't
make
any
difference
on
the
branch
and
so
forth.
D
Okay,
so
in
other
words,
what
I'm
saying
is
that
basically,
the
about
a
year
ago
one
branch
was
removed
was
was
good,
but
the
other
one
just
above
it
was
probably
hanging
over
the
roof
more
because
it
was
was
just
above
it
and
that
wouldn't
have.
A
Thank
you,
mr
salisbury.
We'll
take
that
into
consideration
and
we
appreciate
you
taking
the
time
to
come
and
speak
before
us
this
evening.
D
A
D
All
right,
okay,
is
this
a
niece.
D
A
Sounds
like
something's,
someone's
printing,
something
behind
me.
Sorry,
all
right.
Seeing
no
other
members
of
the
pub
no
public
comment
I'll
entertain
a
motion
pursuant
to
section
42
46
582,
pending
to
enter
into
executive
session.
A
A
C
A
All
right,
once
we
get
into
executive
session
gianna,
it's
all
yours.
