C
C

And,
finally,
s
22-04
s
ordinance
authorizing
a
loan
order
for
the
city
of
cranston
to
finance
the
construction,
improvement,
renovation,
repair
and
alteration
of
city
infrastructure
by
the
highway
department.
By
the
issuance
of
not
more
than
four
million
dollars
in
bonds.
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
forward
those
four
items
to
the
finance
committee
on
june
16th
for
a
hearing
so
moved
second
promotion
in
a
second
any
discussion.
F
C
Yes,
please
no
for
the
record
council
member
jermaine
is
here
and
also
for
the
record.
Councilmember
campo
piano
has
an
excused
absence,
he's
not
feeling
well
so
due
to
illness.
He's
not
here
this
evening.
Certainly
wish
you
well
council
member
campo
piano.
He
is
on
zoom,
but
he
can't
talk
per
open
meetings
so
at
that
this
point
I'll
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn
so
move.
Second,
all
in
favor
say
aye
aye.
Are
there
any
opposed?
C
E
D
F
E
Okay,
before
we
go
through
the
docket
for
the
regular
meeting,
I
would
like
to
just
take
a
moment
to
recognize
someone
that
we
would
typically
recognize
at
a
full
council
meeting.
But
since
I
think
it's
more
relevant
today
and
the
full
council
meeting
is
in
a
couple
of
weeks,
I
just
wanted
to
recognize
the
passing
of
cranston
teacher
coach,
someone
that
a
colleague
for
probably
all
of
us,
paul
bucci,
has
passed
away,
and
I
just
wanted
to
ask
for
a
moment
of
silence
and
some
thoughts
for
his
family.
F
G
F
E
B
So,
madam
chairwoman,
I
received
a
communication
actually
just
before
the
meeting
started
from
the
clerk
who
indicated
that
an
attorney
laplante
had
called
her
and
indicated.
This
was
about
three
o'clock
that
he
would
be
unable
to
make
tonight's
hearing.
However,
he
was
going
to
have
his
client
be
present.
B
B
I
B
Warwick
avenue
in
cranston,
so
this
is
the
same
owner
for
both
establishments
and
the
sergeant
will
testify
as
to
various
compliance
checks
that
were
initiated
by
the
cranston
police
department.
I
believe,
beginning
in
december
of
last
year
and
continuing
through
may
of
this
year,
and
she
will
reveal
what
those
compliance
checks
revealed.
So
that's
just
a
general
overview
of
what
this
particular
show
cause
hearing
is
about.
B
I
Okay,
so
back
in
december
or
actually
november
of
2021
my
division,
the
special
victims
unit
was
given
the
duty
to
do
compliance
checks
throughout
the
city
for
tobacco
or
alcohol.
So
we
went
out
to
do
those
starting
in
december.
The
reason
why
we
started
with
quality
few
was
because
we
got
anonymous
tips
that
he
was
selling
to
underage
kids
under
the
age
of
21
the
products.
B
I
B
I
So
we
go
out
to
very
seated
tobacco
or
alcohol
we
send
in
a
juvenile
decoy.
We
make
sure
that
the
establishment
is
not
selling
check-in
ids,
just
following
what
the
state
law
wants
them
to
do.
So
we
send
out
that
juvenile,
my
detectives
are
right
outside
with
them.
They
either
come
back
with
a
product
or
they
don't.
J
B
Just
to
clarify,
then
the
purpose
of
the
compliance
check
is
to
ensure,
or
rather
to
find
out
whether
or
not
a
business
establishment
any
given
business
establishment
is
complying
with
rhode
island
law
as
it
relates
to
the
sale
of
tobacco
or
alcohol
to
juveniles.
Is
that
a
fair
statement
correct
and
just
so
the
record's
clear
this
particular
gentleman
wasn't
specifically
targeted
correct.
I
mean
he
was
part
of
a
compliance
type
of
investigation.
Is
that
fair
to
say.
B
Okay,
so
let
me
first
direct
your
attention,
then,
to
december
and
specifically
december
30th
of
2021
and
at
approximately
17
22
hours,
which
I
believe
military
time
would
put
it
about.
5
30
in
the
afternoon
set
correct,
and
am
I
correct
in
saying
that
a
compliance
check
was
conducted
at
the
quality
fuel
at
873
cranston
street
through
the
use
of
a
juvenile
decoy
correct,
and
what
was
the
result
of
that
compliance
check
with
the
use
of
the
juvenile
decoy.
I
B
So
the
juvenile,
and
so
the
record's
clear
this
juvenile
decoy
was
under
the
age
of
21.,
correct
and
that
juvenile
was
able
to
access
the
quality
fuel
and
purchase
tobacco
products.
Is
that
your
testimony?
Yes,
okay
and
to
your
knowledge,
was
identification
ever
requested
or
checked
by
any
employee
of
the
quality
fuel
establishment?
At
that
time,.
I
B
Now
let
me
skip
forward
a
little
bit
to
january
28th
of
2022,
and
this
was
approximately
oh
9
30
hours,
which
I'm
assuming
would
be
in
the
morning.
Is
that
accurate,
yes
and
again
yourself,
and
I
believe
this
time
there
were
some
state
representatives
who
again
conducted
a
compliance
check
at
873
cranston
street
correct
again,
and
can
you
just
give
the
committee
some
background
as
to
what
was
found
at
that
particular
on
that
particular
date?
With
regard
to
that
particular
check,.
I
So
once
we
gave
the
because
there
was
three
violations
we
went
like
I
testified
already.
We
went
a
couple
more
times.
In
the
early
month
of
january,
we
went
to
the
store
to
give
him
the
violations.
We
also
brought
the
state
representative
with
us
as
well.
When
we
went
in
what
we
found
was
a
bunch
of
flavored
electronic
jewels
inside
the
store
which
is
illegal,
cannot
have
can't
sell
illegal
electronic
flavored.
B
B
B
I
I
It
did
not
just
took
to
reference
that
if
they,
if
they're
required
to
when
they
ask
they're,
required
to
tell
them
their
true
age,
they're
required
to
say
I'm
such
and
such
an
age,
or
I
don't
have
an
id
they're
required
to.
They
can't
say
that
they're
21,
don't
worry
about
it.
They
are
required
by
the
compliance
checks
that
they
have
to
tell
them
what
their
true
age
is.
So
at
no
time
would
they
ever
ask
that
okay,.
B
So
let
me
just
shift
gears
a
little
bit
because
it
is
the
same
owner
to
the
the
other
two
citations
which
concerned
the
speedy
mark
on
warwick
avenue.
So
I
believe
the
first
incident,
which
resulted
in
the
issuance
of
a
citation
occurred
on
february
10th
and
the
second
was
on-
may
12th.
No,
I'm
sorry,
yes
may
12th
of
of
2022.
B
I
B
B
B
B
I
B
M
I
B
Thank
you
sergeant,
you're
welcome
at
this
point
in
time
madam
chair
sergeant
put
together
a
package
of
the
incident
reports
of
each
of
the
citations
and
the
dates
that
she
had
mentioned
they're
here.
I
would
ask
that
this
package
be
made
part
of
the
record,
and
please
do
it
by
motion
to
accept
this.
B
N
B
B
B
N
B
B
N
B
Okay,
now
you
don't
have
to
say
anything,
okay,
but
we
have
presented
that
evidence
if
you
have
anything
that
you
wish
to
dispute,
or
you
have
any
evidence
of
your
own,
you
wish
to
put
on
I'm
giving
you
that
opportunity
to
do
it.
Sir,
I'm
not
trying
to
force
you,
I'm
not
trying
to
put
words
in
your
mouth,
but
the
city
has
taken
a
position.
B
It's
going
to
be
up
to
the
committee
as
to
whether
they
accept
the
evidence.
That's
been
presented
here,
okay,
but
I
will
tell
you
that
there
were
at
least
six
occasions
where
the
cranston
police
found
that
no
employee
of
yours
was
asking
for
identification
asking
about
age,
nothing.
They
were
selling
tobacco
products
to
minors.
That
is
a
violation
of
rhode
island
law.
Yes,
do
you
understand
that
sir?
Yes.
N
N
N
How
is
can
possible
they
check
in
within
one
day
or
one
week
and
give
us
some
months
in
one
day
not
like
this
time
they
did
officer
came
the
guy
got
served.
He
come
after
five
minutes
in
the
store
and
give
the
summon.
I
understand
we
checked
the
video.
Yes,
we
didn't
make
a
mistake,
but
how
can
possible?
We
have
a
three
summons
in
same
sequence:
78,
79
and
80,
and
one
happen
is
24
of
december.
N
B
I
understand
but
you're
talking
about
procedure,
which
I
your
lawyer
can
explain
to
you
about
the
procedure.
I'm
asking
you
about
the
merits,
in
other
words
the
truth
of
the
allegations.
We
could
talk
about
the
procedure
later,
but
that's
not
what
this
hearing
is
about
this
hearing
is
about
whether
or
not
you
have
any
evidence
that
to
contradict
the
cranston
police
department's,
testimony
that
on
several
occasions,
six
altogether
that
someone,
whoever
it
was
working
for
you
sold
tobacco
to
underaged
individuals.
Sir,
yes,.
N
So
when
we
receive
our
first
time
the
notice
we
take
all
the
action
we
fire
the
employee,
we
put
all
the
signs
in
the
store
21
under
21,
no
sir,
for
anything,
she
just
made
a
mistake.
Again
we
fired
this
girl
again
and
we
had
the
new
people,
my
manager
here
with
me.
He
checked
now
we
are
very
strict
about
the
ids.
We
watch
very
closely
our
video
recording.
B
N
We
have
a
store,
rhode,
island.
We
have
providence,
friends,
warwick
coventry,
we
have
a
store
in
different
state,
but
we
never
have
this
kind
of
issue
before
only
we
are
very
strict
now
more
than
before,
and
ever
and
the
only
my
concern
is
you
say
that
six
different
occasions,
but
my
concern
is
what
ticket
we
got
last
week.
N
B
N
So
when
we
hire
them,
we
have
when
we
hire
them.
We
train
with
the
previous
guy
as
a
manager
or
whatever
work
before
so
tell
them.
Somebody
come
by
the
buy
the
product
doesn't
matter,
it's
like
30,
40
years
old,
make
sure
check
the
id.
We
are
very
strict
about
that
and
we
are
mostly
no
time
there.
We
hired
the
people
we
trained
them.
I
don't
know
why
they
make
laziness.
B
O
B
O
Yes,
we
do
have
a
scanners,
but
we
have
a
default
key,
so
our
imply
by
doing
pressing
the
default
key,
because
in
a
gas
station
this
is
not
possible.
You
can
just
take
a
photocopy
and
serve
a
next
customer
because
everybody
in
a
rush,
but
we
do
have
strictly
like
the
either
they
have
to
scan
their
id
or
they
have
to
put
manually
now
like
they
definitely
have
to
ask
the
id
after
we
receive
the
last
violation.
O
B
O
Know
I
totally
understand,
but
the
thing
is,
as
he
mentioned,
like
we
received
the
one
letter
which
has
already
three
in
that's
the
time.
We
first
knew
like
what
exactly
happened
like
we
then
opened
the
mail,
so
we
found
out
like
three
violation,
all
comes
in
one
letter,
so
that's
the
first
time
we
knew
like
we
have
the
violation
we,
as
he
mentioned.
O
We
have
gas
station
in
other
states
too,
but
technically
sometimes,
yes,
our
store
get
caught
because
the
laziness
of
the
employers,
because
they
don't
want
to
check,
but
we
have
a
proper
system
in
each
gas
station
and
now
strictly
I
went
in
each
gas
station
and
changed
the
setting
either
they
have
to
put
the
idea
manually
or
either
scan.
Otherwise
they
cannot
make
the
transaction.
N
B
N
B
M
Thank
you
good
evening.
I
just
my
question
is
I
know
you
said
that
the
person
who
is
selling
your
employee,
who
is
selling
to
underage,
is
no
longer
on
staff.
No,
she
fired
and
is
she
and
I'm
not
sure
if
this
is
information
that
we
have
or
not?
Is
that
the
same
person
who
sold
to
all
of
the
underage.
N
M
M
It's
not
weird
to
me,
honestly.
It
is
not
weird
to
me.
You
know
why
it's
not
weird,
because
you
have
staff
selling
to
underage
children
here
in
our
community
and
so
if
they
would
have
gone
four
five,
six
seven
times
in
a
row.
Shame
on
your
employee
for
continuing
to
do
it
one
after
the
other.
So
I
am
not
sorry
for
that.
I'm
not
sorry
for
saying
that
you
should
know
you.
You
should
definitely
have
your
staff
know
better
and
be
trained.
M
You
let
go
of
two
staff
that
kept
doing
it
every
time
you
had
someone
go
in
and
and
and
I
have
no
sympathy
for
that
whatsoever
at
all-
and
so
you're
saying
you
train
your
staff.
Clearly
you're
not
training
your
staff
as
adequate
as
possible.
I
understand
you're
an
owner
and
you
have
employees
and
sometimes
they
may
be
in
a
rush.
As
you
said,
it
doesn't
matter.
M
A
O
Like
we've
been
telling
our
employees
please,
we
don't
want
any
sale
like
sell
to
the
miner,
as
I
mentioned
that
we
don't
want
that
revenue,
because
we
we
have
no
one
to
sell
to
the
miners
like,
but
I'm
not
gonna
lie.
We
do
get
that
kind
of
tickets,
like
once
in
a
year
like
we've,
been
doing
business
in
mass
rhode,
island,
new
hampshire,
but
the
thing
is
we
get
car
like
sometimes,
but
never
happened
like
that.
So,
of
course
we
find
out
in
that
cash
register.
There
was
a
default
key.
M
O
M
Well,
I
I'll
be
honest
with
you
and
I
apologize
for
cutting
you
off,
but
you
are
ultimately
the
owner.
You
are
responsible
and
accountable
on
what
how
your
operation
works
and
her
doesn't.
My
other
question
is
both
of
those
employees.
Do
they
only
work?
Have
they
did
they
only
work
at
in
in
one
location
or
do
they
work.
G
M
M
O
O
O
Whenever
we
received
the
tickets,
we
checked
the
cameras
and
we
find
out
who
was
doing
that
we
fired
them.
Technically,
one
was
late,
so
we
checked
in
back
on
a
payroll
and
find
out
who
was
working
at
that
time.
We
let
them
go.
Actually.
I
said
we
don't
want
that
thing
happen,
and
now,
after
that
thing
happens
like
we
have
that
many
tickets.
Now
we
just
doing
a
sign
thing
from
each
employee
like
clearly
we
mentioned
them
like
we
don't
want
any
kind
of
revenue.
We
don't
want
to
sell
to
the
miners
like.
O
M
Okay,
you
know
I,
I
was
just
a
little
confused
because
I
said
both
of
them
were
in
one
location,
but
it's
happening
two
different
locations
and
you
said
two
staff
both
of
them
worked
under
one,
but
either
way.
You
know
this,
you
know
what
I
I
hope
that
you
take
serious
action
on
this
and
I
believe
you
know,
there's
upcoming
other
hearings
or
that
you're
having.
M
But
but
at
this
point
you
know
I,
I
know
it's
tough
time
for
businesses,
but
when
it
comes
down
to
the
laws,
the
laws
of
the
laws
and
you
shouldn't
be
selling
to
anyone,
that's
under
the
age,
whether
it's
your
employee,
whether
it's
yourself,
you
are
accountable
for
that
business
and
what
happens
and
how
that
person
gets
trained.
Whether
people
are
in
a
rush
or
not,
and.
M
A
E
Thank
you,
councilman
marcus.
I
would
just
like
some
clarification
on
the
question
that
councilwoman
vargas
just
asked,
because
I
don't
I
don't
know
that
it
was
answered
properly.
So
two
locations
were
involved
in
the
sale
of
tobacco
to
underage
to
children,
and
only
employees
in
one
of
those
locations
were
let
go.
Is
that
correct.
O
No
ma'am,
both
people,
both
employees,
are
working
in
different
locations,
so
they
will
not
be
not
exchanging
employees.
Normally,
we
just
let
them
work
in
the
same
location,
because
that's
how
it
works
from
our
stores.
We
don't
want
to
move
our
employees
in
each,
so
both
employers
will
get
fired
when
we
have
a
tickets
and
whoever
sold
in
each
location.
We
let
them
go.
E
C
E
I'm
just
asking,
because
I
know
there
is
no
it's
not
like
with
alcohol,
with
it's
a
tip
certification
program.
I
know
that
the
family,
smoking
prevention,
tobacco
control
act
doesn't
require
you
to
implement
training,
but
they
the
fda,
does
have
you
know,
training
documents
that
you
can
use.
So
I
don't
know
what
you're
going
off
of.
Do.
You
just
say.
O
So
we
know
like
they
explain
us
how
you
need
to
cart
the
peoples
and
how
how
old
you
think,
like
you,
should
hurt
our
peoples
like
31
overs
year
old,
unless
unless
they
have
gray,
but
that's
our
choice
but
30,
if
somebody
looks
31
or
over
32,
you
should
call
that
it
does
not
matter
like
how
you
know.
I'm
saying
that's
the
procedure
same
thing,
you
tell
our
each
implies.
E
O
O
O
And
we
do
still
have
waves,
which
is
according
to
the
state
and
rules
and
regulations
like
you,
can
still
sell
waves,
which
is
nicotine
intersection
and
flavors.
But
it's
it
comes
in
different
tobacco.
Flavors
too.
What
you
call
flavors,
but
it's
clear
it
has
tobacco
like
marble
light
and
all
that
stuff.
E
And
I
just
what
I
don't
really
understand:
is
it
never?
It
doesn't
benefit
your
employees
not
to
card
someone,
because
I
don't
think
that
they
they're
going
to
get
paid
they're
12
an
hour
whether
or
not
they
sell
a
lot
of
tobacco
or
not.
It's
only
you
that
benefits
from
sales
at
your
establishment.
So
that's
why
I
have
a
real
problem.
O
You
know
they
are
so
lazy,
they
don't
want
to.
Even
I
somehow
you
know
it's
hard
to
get
the
people
to
a
lot
of
people.
We
had
a
lot
of.
We
have
a
lot
of
we're
facing
a
lot
of
problems.
We
hire
people
and
we
do
watch
their
criminal
record
find
out
like
they're
taking
drugs.
Alcohol
in
the
back
bathroom
store
was
locked
like
we,
it's
really
hard
like.
We
cannot
bring
the
people
from
here
anywhere
else,
so
we
have
to
find
our
own
people.
O
Still,
we
are,
it's
really
hardship
for
the
astor
too,
like
we're
still
investing
a
lot
of
money
in
that
store.
It
was
neglected,
very
bad
when
we
bought
that
store.
We
started
fixing
it,
but
it's
really
nice
location,
but
we
start,
but
it's
really
hard
like
how
is
gas
prices
going
up
plus
cigarette
prices
going
up,
but
we
don't
have
any
attention
still
to
face
that
kind
of
tickets.
One.
N
O
N
That's
there
is
nothing
it's
normal
when
we
say
now,
they
find
a
lot
of
homeless
people
from
the
street.
They
send
someone.
This
location
is
tough
because
homeless
people
always
outside.
We
have
a
lot
of
problem
over
there.
A
lot
of
people
don't
like
to
work
over
there
because
have
a
bad
reputation
in
the
crescent
area.
Even.
O
N
O
E
Q
F
Just
a
point
of
information,
I
know
the
matter
of
importance
of
this,
but
there
are
people
here
that
are
here
to
get
their
licenses
that
have
have
been
here
almost
an
hour
now.
I
think
we
need
to
either
put
them
at
the
end
or
somehow
bring
this
to
a
conclusion
just
to
be
mindful
of
the
people
that
here
waiting
just
to
make
a
point.
Thank
you.
R
R
O
O
N
N
N
When
we
hired
the
girls
people,
I
will
show
her
a
lot
of
attitude:
she's
scared
but
she's.
Okay,
now
she
asked
everybody
eyes
id.
If
ever
or
not,
we
just
say
sorry:
we
can't
serve
you.
We
put
more
cameras
in
the
system,
we
put
more
security
as
much
we
can,
and
now
we
are
very
strict.
We
are
both
watch
the
recording
now,
every
minute,
every
half
hour
what
we
did
before
the
last
girl.
She
have
to
ask
id
the
new
one.
Doesn't
matter?
Look
like
70
years
old.
She
have
to
ask
riding.
N
The
first
time
we
lost
almost
40
000
40
40,
because
we
got
big
delivery
for
cigarette,
but
we
want
to
stay
open.
They
break
the
door,
break
the
lock
and
take
all
the
cigarettes.
Each
carton
is
115
dollars.
Do
you
have
any
report
from
the
police
yeah?
They
have
it.
They
have
the
system,
everything.
I
know.
N
B
E
M
We
done
with
questions
console
environment,
just
a
quick
question
so
as
a
show
class.
The
fact
that
they're
here
before
us
is
it
up
to
the
committee
to
decide.
Ultimately
I
mean
we
can't.
Can
we
take
their
state
issue
license
in
terms
of
selling
cigarettes?
That's
the
state!
That's
that's!
What's
going
to
court,
correct,
okay,
please.
J
B
The
members
of
the
committee,
the
position
of
the
city,
is
that
I,
I
think
what
you've
heard
is.
There
has
been
no
denial
that
these
sales
were
in
fact
made.
Obviously,
the
city
has
easily
satisfied
its
burden
here.
Sergeant
sweeney
testified
in
detail
as
to
what
took
place
on
the
various
dates.
The
only
question
now
is:
what
is
the?
B
B
B
Nonetheless,
it
is
an
egregious
and
it's
very
serious
matter
when
you're
selling,
whether
it's
alcohol
or
tobacco,
to
minors,
that
is
a
very
serious
situation
and
it
cannot
continue
now
they
claim
that
they
have
installed
some
type
of
apparatus
or
they
revived
some
type
of
apparatus
which
will
prevent
this
type
of
activity
from
happening.
I
don't
know
if
that's
going
to
come
to
fruition
or
not
that's
going
to
be
up
to
them.
My
thought
was
to
do
this.
My
thought
was
to
issue
a
suspension
of
one
or
all
of
the
licenses.
B
I
would
then
ask
sergeant
sweeney
to
keep
tabs
on
both
locations
and
if,
during
that
time,
any
new
evidence
comes
to
light
that
either
of
these
locations
have
in
fact
committed
the
same
type
of
violation
or
for
that
matter,
just
about
any
violation
then
we
will
hold.
I
will
immediately
issue
another
summons
summons
these
gentlemen
in
and
at
that
point
in
time
the
only
thing
that
will
be
decided
is
whether
or
not
they
have
in
fact
violated
again.
B
If
they
have
the
10-day
suspension
immediately
goes
into
effect,
that's
the
end
of
it,
but
this
gives
them.
I
think
some
impetus
to
comply,
we're
after
compliance
we're
not
in
the
business
of
putting
people
out
of
business.
That's
not
what
we
do.
However.
However,
we
do
want
compliance.
So
it's
going
to
be
up
to
these
gentlemen.
B
If
they
comply,
if
they
follow
the
law,
they
will
be
fine.
If
they
do
not,
there
will
be
no
further
hearing
such
as
this.
There
will
be
a
five-minute
hearing
and
the
only
issue
will
be
whether
or
not
they
committed
a
new
violation
and
if
so,
then,
that
10-day
penalty
that
has
been
suspended
or
held
in
abeyance
will
immediately
take
effect.
B
G
B
B
You
know,
isn't
too
much
of
a
incentive
for
them
to
comply,
because
in
the
beginning,
as
you
know,
everybody
complies,
but
if
we
get
out
toward
45
to
60
days,
we're
gonna
see
if
they
can
keep
it
up.
If
they
can
keep.
You
know
the
appropriate
safeguards
in
place,
so
I
think
I'd
be
leaning
a
little
more
towards
60
days.
To
be
honest
with
you
thank.
G
You,
mr
solicitor,
and
strike
my
previous
motion,
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
that,
and
I
think
10
days
is-
is
too
too
less
of
a
penalty.
I
would
move
that
they
have
a
suspension
of
20
days
and
that
it
be
held
in
advance
for
a
period
of
90
days,
so
that
the
cranston
police
can
continue
to
ensure
their
compliance.
B
E
E
E
M
E
G
S
S
B
E
G
E
G
E
D
E
Next,
we
have
a
public
hearing
on
the
class
bv
liquor
license.
This
is
over
the
cap,
so
it
needs
our
own.
This
is
a
withdrawn,
so
never
mind.
We
do
not
need
to
vote
on
this
new
matters
before
the
committee.
We
have
several
that
are
ratification.
So
I'd
like
to
entertain
emotion,
to
vote
on
those
as
a
block.
R
F
E
A
E
A
E
U
U
We
started
the
food
trailer
just
because
we've
been
asking
a
lot
of
requests
for
wedding
and
for
small
stuff.
It
was
much
more
safe
and
much
more
sanitized
to
have
a
trailer
instead
of
putting
attendant
tech
10,
we
have
a
full
one
with
sync
and
pass
the
fire
department
as
the
city
of
the
whole
department,
and
we
have
a
name.
We
have
a
branding
and
I
just
don't
want
any
issue.
So
we
built
up
a
nice
trailer.
Just
we've
been
asked
to
cater
a
few
events
and
that's
what
we
did.
U
We
were
also
on
the
building
on
dyer
avenue,
the
old
al
seravo.
We
bought
the
building
in
the
middle
of
making
that,
as
a
commissary
as
production
for
our
operation
to
make
the
food
safety.
In
the
meantime,
we're
going
to
use
the
crested
location
to
do
the
prep
till
the
commissary
is
100
but
move
from
c3
to
m1.
Something
like
that.
We
see
my
lawyers
working
out.
E
U
You
good
luck,
one
minute,
just
off
the
record
for
nothing.
You
guys
did
a
great
job.
I've
been
in
classes
since
1982.
I
lived
here.
My
daughter
got
to
child
university,
so
the
first
curse.
When
I
heard
my
daughter
was
six
years
old
and
made
me
wanted
10
years
to
know
what
would
happen
and
they
did
a
good
job
and
it's
sad
to
hear
that.
That's
all.
E
V
D
V
E
D
E
W
E
F
E
D
E
Okay,
next,
I
have
a
public
entertainment
license.
This
is
for
pachux
athletic
club,
adam
julie
june
11th,
2022
12
to
5..
This
is
a
one
day,
entertainment
for
the
gatsby
day.
Is
there
is
adam
julie
present
hi?
Can
you
please
come
up?
Is
there
anyone
here
from
the
public,
whether
in
chambers
or
online,
who
would
like
to
speak
for
against
this
application?.

Thank
you.
Good

Okay.
I
see
no
business
from
the
traffic
engineer
we
already
took.
The
show
calls
out
of
order.
I
see
no
business
from
the
police
department,
no
business
from
the
fire
department.
We
have
several
licensed
renewals
I'd
like
to
entertain
a
motion
to
take
those
as
a
block
so
move.
Second,
any
discussion.
A
D
A
E
D
E
Okay,
there
are
there's
no
monthly
schedule
for
the
princeton
stadium,
so
we're
just
going
to
miscellaneous
and
we'll
be
done.
Let's
see,
there
was
a
temporary
outdoor
expansion
of
premises
for
aulani's
bistro,
fellini
pizzeria,
the
parlor
creamery
and
the
historic
park
theater
llc
there
are
no
presentations,
so
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn
so
moved
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye.
F
AA
Well,
I
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
I've
been
a
cranston
homeowner
for
about
25
years.
Admittedly,
I
have
never
before
followed
the
budget
process
at
all,
but
I'm
retired.
Now
so
I'm
paying
attention
and
I
was
really
kind
of
floored
by
the
process
that
we
just
went
through,
and
I
have
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
questions.
AA
On
a
related
note,
I
was
stunned
to
learn
more
about
the
7
million
or
nearly
7
million
that
have
accumulated
debt.
I
guess
in
the
city's
health
insurance
fund,
which
is
being
paid
off
again
with
arpa
money,
and
I
I
watched
the
finance
committee
meeting
on
the
23rd
and
the
administration
indicated
that
they
were
increasing
the
premiums
into
the
fun,
but
it
seemed
like
they.
Their
attitude
was
that
there
was
unforeseen
circumstances
that
led
to
the
problem
and
that
now
that
the
whole
you
know,
7
million
is
being
wiped
clean.
AA
That
there's
really
nothing
more.
That
needs
to
be
done.
It
really
doesn't
make
sense
to
me,
and
it
seems
like
it's
completely
foreseeable,
that
this
would
happen
and
that
it
will
happen
at
some
time
in
the
future,
which
is
why,
in
my
experience,
dealing
with
a
lot
of
small
and
medium-sized
non-profits
as
a
union
negotiator
that,
if
they're
self-insured,
they
have
stop-loss
insurance-
and
I
don't
really
understand
why
that
hasn't
been
acquired
in
this
case.
AA
AA
That
will
ensure
it
doesn't
happen
again
and
in
particular,
in
addition
to
sort
of
dealing
with
whatever
the
structural
reasons
are
I'd
like
to
see
some.
You
know
effort
to
really
look
at
this
whole
process
and
make
changes
so
that
there's
a
reasonable
opportunity
for
the
council
to
provide
real
oversight
so
that
these
issues-
don't
just
sort
of
you-
know,
blindside
you
when
you're
on
a
deadline
to
approve
a
budget,
and
it's
really
too
late
to
deal
with
them.
AB
AB
I
understand
thank
you
yeah.
I
will
make
sure
it's
only
four
minutes.
I
guess
my
understanding
of
what
went
on
with
the
lust
council
meeting
and
the
meeting
of
this
committee
where
it
lasted
until
quarter
of
one
in
the
morning,
and
then
it
seemed
that
nothing
was
passed
and
then
by
not
passing
all
the
objections
that
were
there
somehow
this
budget
got
approved.
AB
AB
AB
Estimates
to
make
what
can
only
be
considered
a
complex
for,
I
don't
know
whose
benefit,
but
I
think
I
speak
for
a
lot
of
cranston
city
residents
who
use
the
pool
and,
like
the
pool
that
I
want
the
answer
for
how
it
went
from
125
000
to
open
it
last
year,
because
I
think
that
was
the
number
to
now
somewhere
between
two
to
four
million.
Depending
on
how
we're
going
to
do
this,
we
need
to
fix
the
pool.
We
don't
need
to
recreate
the
pool
we
need
to
fix
the
pool.
AB
AB
AB
We
shouldn't
be
tearing
a
structure
down
rather
than
fixing
the
mechanicals,
and
I
and
I
do
understand
that
sometimes
that's
more
expensive
than
tearing
something
down
and
fixing.
What's
there.
However,
I
I
would
certainly
I
have
some
knowledge.
I
know
anise
has
gotten
some
grant
applications.
I
have
a
background
in
grant
writing.
AB
I
was
a
federal
grant
director
for
rhode
island
college
and
I
also
wrote
successful
grants
for
the
department
of
secondary
ed,
I'm
happy
to
give
them
my
time
to
help
getting
funds
to
get
the
pool
open
and
so
that
it
won't
have
to
come
out
of
the
taxpayers
pocket,
which
seems
to
be
what
the
administration
thinks
is.
Okay.
F
F
F
M
M
M
AC
AC
M
AC
M
Would
you
be
able
to
just
email
me
that
information
in
terms
of
what
that
evaluation
is,
I
mean,
give
it
so
this
certainly
yeah
yeah
I
mean
there
are.
I
know
that
I
mean
they're,
obviously
growing
it,
but
it
also
depends,
I
would
say,
on
any
additional
buildings
correct.
That's
within
the
cranston
on.
AC
M
I
mean
it
seems
like
evaluations
and
everything
else
and
appraisal,
and
everything
else
keeps
going
up,
but
I
don't
know
if
it's
a
contracted
mutual
agreement
that
it
was
just
that
dollar
amount,
but
the
next
three
years,
ten
years
or
so
forth.
I'd
like
to
know
that
as
well.
If
the
dollar
amount
changes,
obviously
that
would
then
be
reflected
of
the
fy23
correct.
M
AC
F
G
E
F
T
Thank
you
with
respect
to
the
internal
service
fund
this
evening,
I'd
like
to
hear
from
the
administration
with
respect
to
plans
and
options
of
insurance,
such
as
with
a
third
party
collaborative
organization
and
additional
options
of
potentially
increasing
the
percentage
of
employee
contribution,
which
I
believe
is
currently
set
at
20
percent.
From
past
conversations.
AD
AD
It's
hard
to
pinpoint
it
because
I
don't
know
the
last
time
it
was
done
or
taking
a
fresh
look
at
it
in
terms
of
having
meetings
with
them.
I
don't
know
how
long
it's
going
to
take
to
get
that
understanding,
and
obviously
we
wanted
to
talk
to
various
collaboratives
if
possible,
at
least
a
couple
to
go
with
this
they'll
be
back
and
forth.
I
would
be
foolish
to
commit
to
a
time
frame,
but
I
would
say
months
not
weeks
and
not
years,
so
I
would
just
you
know
sometime.
AD
I
would
I
would
think
months
how
long
that
process,
because
it
it's
more
than
just
flipping
a
switch
to
say
your
house,
you
have
valued
at
x
amount
of
dollars.
You
want
so
much
liability
insurance.
This
is
something
where
it
has
to
be
a
sharing
of
claims
data
and
it
takes
time-
and
I
don't
know
how
long
it
takes
the
insurance,
the
collaboratives
part
of
me-
to
work
with
the
insurance
companies
to
go
through
that
process.
AD
Is
that
outreach
will
be
tomorrow
or
the
next
day?
There's
been
internal
meetings?
Talking
with
the
we've
had
discussions
meetings
with
us
colleagues
at
the
school
department
to
pick
their
brains,
and
so
you
know,
we've
we've
we've
done
that,
so
we're
doing
our
internal
work
to
so
we
can
see
what
their
experiences
are.
So
we
could
be
more
knowledgeable
in
a
better
position
to
speak
with
the
groups.
AD
AC
I
was
part
of
a
meeting
with
the
auditor
general
when
he
wanted
to
address
our
deficit
in
the
internal
service
fund.
There
was
no
other
discussions
about
joining,
collaborative
or
any
other
such
organization.
At
that
time
it
was
just
more
of
how
we're
going
to
address
the
cumulative
deficit
and
when
we
thought
that
we'd
be
able
to
eliminate
it.
T
AD
No
not
not
to
date,
there's
three
collaboratives
and
so
with
we're
looking
at
the
existing
one
that
we
have
and
also
one
of
the
largest
the
ones
that
school
departments
with
at
this
time,
but
the
third
party
it
it's
it's
possibly
there.
But
you
might
be
aware,
we
don't
have
a
finance
director
and
we've
been
tasked
with
with
a
lot
so
there's
kind
of
so
much
time
in
the
day
and
I
think
we're
making
terrific
strides
looking
not
wasting
any
time
looking
into
this.
AD
E
E
Health
care
advisor
okay,
so
has
anyone
thought
of
perhaps
using
that
consultant
to
develop
a
request
for
a
proposal
support
from
the
collaboratives?
It's
something
that's
been
done
in
that
was
done
in
warwick
a
couple
of
years
ago,
so
they
you
know
they
developed
the
request
for
what
we
need.
The
collaboratives
came
back
with
bids
and
then
they
chose
from
there
would
that
perhaps
be
easier.
AD
They're
starting
brand
new,
so
they
can.
We
could
do
that,
but
we
can
have
to
wait
according
to
their
time
frame
because
they
have
to
get
up
to
speed
with
the
city
of
creston
now.
So
if
we
wanted
to
wait
a
couple
of
month,
two
or
three
months
or
so
by
time
they
get
up
to
speed,
we
have
that
option,
but
we'd
rather
pursue
directly
and
faster
and
have
the
administration
delve
into
it
now,
rather
than
delay.
AD
E
AD
AB
E
E
E
E
AD
AD
AD
AD
Well,
it
was
reported
in
the
in
the
audit
re
report,
the
financial
statements
which
the
order
to
sign
off
three
years
ago
that
the
first
of
it
was
noted
in
the
financial
statements
that
a
deficit
had
begun
and
over
the
last
three
years
that
deficit
has
grown
as
to
when
it
got
to
the
order
to
general's
attention.
Perhaps
mr
igo
might
be
able
to
fine-tune
that
date,
but
that
was
building,
and
it
was
certainly
it
was.
It
was
in
that
report.
AC
Councilwoman,
I
believe
the
auditor
general
contacted
the
finance
director
back
in
january.
Our
report
is
due
to
the
auditor
general
on
december
31st
and
sometime
in
the
month
of
january,
the
beginning
of
february
called
finance
director
because
it
has
been
in
the
in
the
report
for
the
past
three
years,
as
mr
marie
said,
but
it's
it's
grown
over
the
past
three
years.
If
you
remember
last
the
last
council
meeting,
I
went
over
the
balances
and
how
it's
grown
over
the
years
with
the
council,
and
so
now
it's
getting
it.
R
AC
It's
it's
like
if
you
had
two
different
businesses,
one
business,
the
operation
of
the
city,
taking
care
of
this
city,
and
then
one
bank
account
taking
care
of
the
health
claims
of
the
employees
of
the
city,
the
account
that
takes
care
of
the
business
of
the
city.
The
operations
of
the
city
that
has
a
surplus.
AC
That's
the
only
source
of
money
that
the
health
care
fund
that
account
that
takes
care
of
the
employees,
health
is
is
basically
just
the
amount
that
comes
from
the
general
fund,
which
is
eighty
percent
from
the
city
and
another
twenty
percent
from
the
employees.
Now
they're,
not
all
eighty
twenty,
the
administration
play
pays
25,
so
the
city
only
pays
75
percent
of
their
claims
and
then
police
and
fire
have
different
rates
too.
Each
contract
delineates
how
much
each
employee
has
to
pay,
but
on
average
it's
the
80
20
split.
AC
Well,
I
I
I
believe,
like
I
said
the
last,
I
don't
know
if
you
were
at
the
last
council
meeting,
but
there
were
extraneous
circumstances.
We
had
this
major
fire
that
started
the
downfall,
and
then
we
came
into
covid,
which
was
also
a
once-in-a-lifetime
type
thing.
Those
those
are
the
types
of
events
that
led
to
the
deficit
being
grow,
bigger
and
bigger.
Each
year.
AC
AC
R
AC
F
T
Thank
you
this
evening.
My
agenda
item
with
respect
to
the
bud
long
pool
is
asking
questions
with
respect
to
the
firm
that
conducted
the
feasibility
study
report,
this
federal
hill
group,
llc
architects,
I'm
wondering
how
they
were
specifically
chosen.
I,
as
I've
mentioned
previously,
could
not
find
anything
within
our
board
of
contracts
and
purchasing
with
respect
to
this
going
out
to
bid
or
for
a
bid
waiver.
T
In
addition,
the
report
itself
is
unsigned,
so
I
don't
even
know
who
prepared
this
report
specifically
and
with
respect
to
that
specific
company.
Even
if
you
look
online
for
their
website
and
even
the
documentation
that
was
provided,
it
doesn't
mention
who
the
members
are,
what
their
qualifications
are.
T
You
know
who
the
owners
are
of
this
company,
that
combined
with
the
fact
that
it
was
not
put
out
to
bid
or
given
a
bid
waiver
really
demands
answers
to
these
questions.
In
addition,
as
you
see
on
the
agenda
item,
I'd
like
to
know
the
specific
cost,
we
heard
that
it
was
going
to
be
13
000.
Is
it
or
was
it
definitively
13
000?
T
And
if
so,
specifically,
where
is
this
being
paid
from
in
the
budget
which
department
which
line
item
and
then
after
that,
I'd
like
to
have
some
discussion
as
to
what
the
actual
plan
is
in
place?
What
are
we
actually
doing
to
prioritize
opening
the
pool
and
the
status
of
the
planning
commission
approval
for
the
capital
improvement
project?
T
I
know
that
we
have
the
grant
writer
put
out
for
a
federal
grant,
for
I
believe
over
2
million
might
be
2.2
or
million
dollars
with
respect
to
that
which
all
council
members
signed
off
on
and
we're
hoping
that
will
come
through,
but
other
than
that.
What
are
the
plans?
So
if
the
administration
through
the
chair
can
address
these
concerns,
that
would
be
great.
AD
AD
L
On
the
first
one
that
they
were
on,
they
were
taken
from
the
approved
list
of
city
contractors,
and
you
know
that
was
done
god
that
was
done
in
january
with
the
intent
that
possibly
he
would
give
us
a
positive
report
to
potentially
open
this
poll.
After
seeing
the
report,
it
didn't
look
well
and
we
were
planned
to
try
to
get
it
up
and
going
if
they
gave
us
inclination
that
it
could
be
done
or
one
of
his
plans
is
to
not
demolish
it,
but
that
would
be
costly.
L
L
The
report
was
done
by
the
federal
hill
group
and
I'm
not
sure
the
actual
person
that
went
in
and
out
did
let
them
in
a
few
times
he
did
his
own
research
or
they
had
a
woman
there.
Once
that
I
met,
I
don't
know
if
he
was
there
when
you
guys
had
joined
me
down
at
the
pool,
but
that
can
all
be
found
out.
I
can
get
him
to
document
that.
L
T
L
L
F
Councilwoman
marino
may
speak
director
tasaglia
with
all
due
respect
the
request
from
councilwoman
mourinho,
which
was
on
the
agenda
since
we
submitted
it
last
week
specifically
said
who
are
the
owners
members
and
who
specifically
prepared
the
report.
We
appreciate
the
fact
that
you
want
to
find
out
this
information
for
us,
maybe
tomorrow
or
the
next
day,
but
I'm
disappointed
that
the
information
is
not
here
in
front
of
us
at
this
time.
AD
L
AD
AD
Okay,
thank
you
if
I,
if
I
might
want
to
add
just
as
if
I'm
not
sure
if
it
applies
to
the
professional
organizations,
but
the
cpa
firms
they'll
sign
the
report
by
the
name
of
the
company
when
signing
off
on
the
financial
statement
orders,
they
don't
put
the
individual
names,
I'm
not
sure,
if
that's
a
reason
for
their
with
the
design,
architects
that
they
don't
individualize
it.
But
at
least
we
found
out
the
name
of
the
individual
that
mr
tassalia
worked
with.
T
L
L
We
have
to
get
someone
to
evaluate
this,
so
we
can
realize
if
it's
feasible,
to
open
this
pool
this
summer,
based
on
last
year,
when
we
did
not
open
all
that
was
assessed
at
that
point
was
the
pool
itself
and
some
of
the
components
in
a
structure.
It
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
building
and
some
of
the
other
violations
that
were
revealed
in
the
report.
You
know
leaking
of
the
water
and
if
you
go
through
it,
I
don't
have
to
read
it.
L
You
know
verbatim,
but
the
idea
was
to
get
a
plan
and
a
blueprint
to
try
to
open
it.
And
after
looking
at
the
report,
I
didn't
think
it
was
feasible
to
do
a
a
band-aid
approach,
but
rather
to
make
it
a
better
product
and
to
modernize
it.
And
with
that
being
said,
if
the
report
came
back
positive,
we
could
have
put
in
the
budget
or
it
could
have
been
amended.
L
T
I'm
I'm,
I
appreciate
your
intent
directed
to
saglia,
but
I
need
to
make
this
abundantly
clear.
The
point
of
addressing
this
is
to
get
this
fixed.
We
all
agree
the
administration
council,
the
public,
it's
a
priority.
It
needs
to
be
fixed
frankly,
with
all
due
respect.
The
thirteen
thousand
dollars
on
a
report
that
is
unsigned
done
without
going
through
the
board
of
contract
and
purchasing
was
a
waste
of
time.
It
was
a
waste
of
money.
From
my
perspective,
you
are
right.
T
We
need
to
have
it
address
in
the
correct
way
and
I
don't
want
to
repeat
the
mistakes
of
the
past,
which
brings
me
to
the
next
issue
of
this,
of
the
status
of
the
planning
commission
approval,
because
we
could
not
even
place
us
on
the
capital
operating
budget,
because
that
was
not
done
properly
again.
Not
intentional.
I
understand
that,
but
we
do
not
have
time
to
repeat.
Nor
do
we
have
the
money
to
repeat
the
mistakes.
T
The
next
thing
I
would
ask
is
to
director
moretti:
can
you
tell
me
what
is
the
actual
plan,
the
actual
next
step,
with
respect
to
getting
this
pool
open?
We
know
it's
not
going
to
happen
this
summer
and
that
then,
would
include,
what's
the
stan
status,
of
obtaining
the
planning
commission
approval
in
that
process.
Thank
you.
AD
AD
But
the
the
alarming
things
that
were
identified
is
the
public
as
a
safety
of
that
pool
the
the
structure
of
the
pool
and
the
physics
of
it
that
if
it
were
open
today
that,
given
the
drainage
or
the
holes
or
the
breeches
in
the
pool,
it
is
felt
that
a
child
could
be
sucked
down
to
the
pool
to
a
drain,
and
certainly
there's
no
one
in
this
room
that
didn't
want
to
think
about.
That
is
that
the
pool
house
is
not
ada
accessible.
AD
AD
With
that
this,
this
report
came
out
after
the
submission
to
the
planning
commission.
As
you
know,
inadvertently
it
was
put
on.
It
was
a
part
of
capital
not
allowed
by
the
charter,
so
it
was
taken
off
so
as
as
you
know,
the
grant
writer,
along
with
certainly
the
endorsement
of
the
council
in
the
work
of
the
administration
working
with
senator
reids
and
white
house's
offices,
trying
to
obtain
a
2.8
million
dollar
grant.
AD
AD
That's
an
option,
and
we've
kind
of
haven't
even
hit
the
tip
of
the
iceberg
in
terms
of
the
use
of
arpa
funds,
which
could
be
considered.
I
think,
through
a
lot
of
discussion
with
the
with
this
group,
this
body
and
the
recommendation,
but
there
is
no
money
in
operating
expenditures
to
safely
open
the
pool
at
this
time,
and
it
looks
as
if
it's
going
to
be
an
investment
in
order
in
order
to
get
there.
T
R
Thank
you,
council,
chairman
council
marino,
and
I
will
share
this
same
sentiment
about
this
whole
report.
I
questioned
I'm
not
gonna
come
back
to
it
because
I
questioned
it
the
day
I
heard
about
it.
I
thought
it
would
be
biased
because
we
did
not
well,
I
don't
know.
Probably
there
may
be
some
many
other
company
that
were
they
if
they
were
a
bid
or
not.
R
So
I
think
if
it
was
transparent,
we
will
not
have
to
ask
those
questions
about
it,
because
the
role
as
all
of
us
we
want
it
to
be
open
and
doing
things
in
transparency
would
really
prevent
us
to
asking
those
questions.
We
know
so
I'm
learning
how
we
do
things
here.
What
is
the
culture?
So
we
just
call
someone
and
giving
a
job
or
we
open
it
for
many
companies
to
choose
the
best
bid.
So
that's
my
question
and
that
need
to
be
answered.
R
R
R
I
wonder
if
somebody
really
took
time
to
think
about
this
residence
that
has
this
the
only
thing
they
have
when
it's
hard
to
go
to.
So
that's
the
question
I'm
asking
I
have
right
now
I
know
already,
but
I
have
a
great
concern
about
health,
because
the
way
they
policy
with
this
water
is
a
source
for
mosquitoes.
R
L
Answer
that
if
you'd
like-
oh
yes,
okay,
that
that
tool
is
a
liner
that
was
put
in
a
few
years
ago-
that
has
continuously
leaked
since
they
put
in,
has
had
to
be
removed,
and
if
you
take
all
the
water
out
of
it
and
we've
pumped
it
a
few
times
to
get
the
levels
down,
we've
pumped
it
out
over
the
winter
right
before
the
winter.
Maybe
once
after
you
get
the,
if
you
don't
leave
water
in
there,
it
doesn't
keep
it
taut.
So
what
will
happen?
L
A
L
R
L
You're
correct
I
mean
the
water
is
going
to
attract
mosquitoes.
I
mean
the
whole
area
is
wetlands,
but
I'm
sure
you
know
and
if
we
have
to
keep
it
that
way
through
the
summer
that
we
can
do
something
to
counter
pot.
You
know
the
the
bugs,
or
whatever
I
mean
there
are
there
are
organizations
that'll
spray
down
there
for
us?
If
that's
the
concern.
S
R
So
I
have
complaints.
I
I
have
complaints
about
a
lot
of
other
residents
that
have
dempsters
in
their
backyard,
that
you
know,
keep
mosquitoes
and
what
I
heard
is
like
if
we
as
a
city,
we're
not
taking
care
of
our
own,
how
we
can
tell
a
resident,
hey,
you
have
to
take
care
of
these
dumpsters.
You
have
in
your
backyard.
F
E
I
thank
you
director,
cecelia,
in
discussions
with
the
architects
who
you
met
there,
who
who
I'm
assuming
had
some
part
in
this
report,
at
least
to
go,
give
any
science
steps
forward
for
all
the
the
small
plans
that
were
there.
Do
they
have
more
details
that
they
could
provide
if
we
decided
to
go
with
one
of
those
routes.
L
J
R
R
AD
T
So
I
just
want
to
be
abundantly
clear
and
to
the
point
of
like
councilwoman
renzuli,
you
know
referencing.
Well,
maybe
we
can
go
back
to
them
for
more
information.
I
cannot
be
clearer.
That
is,
I
believe,
a
clear
mistake.
We
do
not
know
the
qualifications
of
these
people
and
I'm
sure
you
had
good
intentions.
I'm
not.
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear
to
the
administration
that
this
is
extremely
problematic
and
the
person
maybe
was
an
architect
great.
T
R
F
M
AD
AD
Had
asked
directed
to
say
it
to
take
this
segment,
so
if
perhaps
he
can,
he
can
ask
he
can
reply
to
that.
I
believe
not
if
it
was
chosen.
Mr
mccasey
indicated
there
was
a
list
of
the
list
of
these
professional
architects
and
engineers,
and
it
was
from
that
list.
Did
it
go
in
front
of
the
the
vocab?
I
don't
recall
it
going
in
front
of
bocap.
T
M
M
Well,
it's
about
13
000
give
or
take
you
had.
I
think
roughly
had
said
right.
What's
that
yeah
15
000.
you
have
875
high
amount
was,
did
not
go
through
the
board,
didn't
get
a
waiver
and
I
would
hate
the
perception
of
the
outside,
just
our
taxpayers
and
everyone
to
say
this
is
the.
I
know
a
guy
kind
of
a
person
or
a
company
whether
or
not
it
happened
that
way
it's
just.
It
should
go
through
the
proper
channels
and
so
versus
just
saying.
M
That's
obviously
just
one
part
of
the
problem,
but
I
I
not
going
to
sit
here
and
be
redundant
because
a
lot
of
the
questions
that
I
had
were
actually
asked,
and
I
appreciate
my
fellow
colleagues
for
taking
the
lead
and
asking
those
questions,
much
of
which
constituents
in
the
world
one
area
also
have
in
terms
of
what
are
the
next
plans
for
the
pool.
At
one
point,
I
believe
you
had
mentioned
director
that
there
would
be
the
parkview
pool,
at
least
for
that
side
of
town
would
be
open.
Is
that
a
plan.
L
L
Yeah
I
mean
it
is
an
alternative
option.
It's
not
it's
not
the
pool,
experience
of
the
outdoor
experience
and
the
sun
and
the
fun
you
know
the
destination
of
it,
but
I
could
you
know
figure
that
out
this
week
I
would
call
over
there
and
we'll
see
if
it's
a
opportunity
that
we
want
to
take
advantage
of.
T
Thank
you.
This
agenda
item
of
the
park
place
theaters.
I
was
inquiring
as
to
the
production
in
terms
of
the
prior
owners
contract
with
the
city
and
the
new
owners
contract
with
the
city.
Just
this
afternoon
I
received
a
copy
of
the
contract.
Thank
you
to
director
moretti
and
solicitor
malay.
It
was
the
2017
contract.
T
Thanks
and
then
I
also
was
looking
to
see
our
production
of
the
insurance
binder
and
the
actual
policy
of
insurance
in
place
with
respect
to
that
business's
use
of
the
parking
lot
previously
one
of
the
owner.
I
think
it's,
mr
quinlan,
when
he
appeared
before
the
safety
services
commission
had
stated
that
he
did
in
fact
have
an
insurance
binder
that
was
produced
to
the
city.
AD
Councilwoman,
marina
was
gracious
enough
last
week
to
send
me
an
email
requesting
those
two
items
and
immediately
I
requested
solicitor
malay
to
look
into
it
and
produce
the
insurance
binder
or
any
document
of
additional
insured.
Along
with
the
the
lease
the
the
the
I
get,
the
lease
agreement
or
the
arrangement.
He
has
not
gotten
back
to
me,
and
I
will
I
apologize
for
that
on
behalf
of
mr
malay,
but
I
promise
to
look
into
it
again
again.
AD
T
F
AD
There
it's
the
bottom
line
is
there
is
an
in-process
action
plan
to
address
the
growth
of
government
over
the
years
and
the
issues
facing
the
city
and
the
various
communities
regarding
the
pandemic.
That's
caused
stress
financial
stress,
along
with
some
of
those
issues
previously
discussed
about
the
funding
of
some
past
funding
for
reserves,
etc.
AD
Acquiesced
with
the
councilwoman
renzuli,
the
mayor
has
imposed
a
I'll
call.
It
phase
one
contingency
plan
to
implement
those
budget
reductions
anyway,
so
the
department
heads
a
task.
The
administration
is
tasked
with
running
to
a
budget
less
that
million
or
million
won
regardless
I'll
describe
those
there's
many
cuts.
You
might
recall,
or
changes
to
the
budget
that
pretty
much
eliminated
wiggle
room
for
spending.
AD
Obviously
third
floor
was
was,
as
it
typically
had
been
before
informed
of
the
collection
of
the
budget
and
that's
when
was
recognized.
There
was
significant
shortage
in
the
budget,
so
within
48
hours.
Basically,
the
administration,
the
mayor's
budget,
had
to
react
and
was
a
perfect
no,
but
it
was
a
reaction
to
to
the
process
and
knowing
what
had
to
have
been
done
and
that
a
tax
increase
has
been
proposed
of
2.85
percent
as
we
know,
and
there
is
a
an
issue
over
the
budget
gap
needing
to
be
filled
in
time.
AD
So
it's
been
taken
very
seriously
extremely
serious.
Let
me
say
that
so
at
that
time
we
went
through
the
process,
but
now
we
decide
to
impose
that
1.1
what
we're
calling
the
contingency
phase,
one
where,
in
that
we've
we're
working
with
a
contingency
plan,
phase
two
that
cuts
deeper,
unfortunately
into
into
the
city
infrastructure
and
we're
just
we're
trying
to
find
ways
of
mitigating
any
collateral
damage.
AD
Frankly,
that
may
be
as
a
result
of
it
and
it's
gonna
be
cuts
that
are
gonna
hurt
and
so
we're
looking
at
those
kind
of
at
this
point,
I
think
it'd
be
unfair
if
I
disclose
this
to
working
process
and
we've
we're
trying
to
work
with
the
the
bargaining
units,
who've
been
more
than
gracious
to
us
so
far
to
share
in
this
pain
and
concern,
and
so
that's
that's
where
we
are
we'll
have
to
see
how
deep
we
can
go.
We're.
AD
AD
We
hit
a
point
with
the
firefighters
that
we
suspended
negotiations
in
light
of
the
recent
events,
we
want
to
hope
of
resuming
those
negotiations
and
and
asked
police
if
we
can
open
the
contract
there.
Also,
we
have
meetings
scheduled
with
the
libraries
to
see
what
possibly,
what
what
can
be
done.
There's
so
there's
a
whole
host
of
initiatives,
but
but
there's
no
one
magic
bullet.
AD
If
you
will-
and
this
kind
of
relates
back
to
the
discussion
with
councilwoman
mourinho
about
the
collaboratives,
it's
kind
of
all
in
part
of
these
efforts
that
we're
doing
so,
it's
not
just
we're
going
after
one
thing
is
many
approaches
that
we're
taking
to
we're,
calling
it
reduce
the
size
of
government.
So
those
are
just
a
handful
of
things,
and
so
it
is
a
working
process
and
hopefully
we'll
have
an
update
in
a
month
or
so
as
to
next
steps.
T
Thank
you
director,
moretti
for
what
you
stayed
this
evening,
but
as
we
are
sitting
here,
meeting,
I've
had
at
least
three
people
reach
out
to
me
with
respect
to
a
press
release
that
I
assume
was
issued
today.
Since
the
article
from
the
news
station
aired,
it
looks
like
5
30
this
evening
and
it
specifically
states
that
it
was
a
press
release
from
the
mayor
dealing
with
the
structural
deficit.
K
T
I
to
be
clear,
am
not
asking
about
general
practice.
I
am
asking
about
the
specific
press
release
that
deals
with
the
structural
deficit
that
I'm
sure
the
administration
was
well
aware
of
that
we
would
be
speaking
of
tonight
and
the
administration
through
you,
as
the
communications
director,
put
out
a
press
release.
Can
that
at
least
aired
as
of
5
30
this
evening?
So
I
am
asking
you:
when
did
you
send
that
press
release.
K
T
And
to
be
clear,
then
it
is
your
general
practice
since
you
brought
it
up
that
you
do
not
take
part
in
sending
to
the
council
of
the
city
issues
of
importance
that
the
mayor
is
sending
out
to
the
press
as
a
press
release.
Is
that
my
understanding
of
you
this
evening?
That's
your
general
practice.
I
just
want
to
be
clear
on
that
sure.
K
T
A
I
I
can
tell
you
now,
mr
piba,
that
we
and
the
residents
who
pay
your
salary.
I
don't
find
that
acceptable
and
I
will
take
pleasure
in
putting
forth
an
ordinance
that
is
going
to
require
that
those
press
releases
get
shared
with
the
council
before
they
go
out
to
the
press,
because
that
is
not
a
huge
ask,
especially
on
a
topic
as
as
as
important
as
this,
and
if
there
is
anger
in
my
tone
this
evening,
you
are
correct.
M
Thank
you,
director,
moretti
and,
and,
and
I
I
agree
with
the
sentiments
that
councilwoman
marina
has
just
put
forward.
There
were
conversations-
I
guess
you
had
just
said
with
the
teamsters,
the
laborers
and
probably
so
many
I'm
just
curious.
Why
none
of
those
conversations
unless
I'm
wrong
have
been
expressed
or
funneled
through
our
finance
chairman
or
were
even
I'm
not
sure
either.
M
AD
Yeah,
we
don't
have,
we
don't
have
answers
to
those
questions.
We're
working
with
these
people
they're
cooperating
that
doing
what
they
can.
They
they
feel
they
hurt
as
long
as
much
as
we
do,
we
are
not
in
the
position
to
divulge
personnel
discussions,
as
I'm
sure
you're
aware-
and
that
is
your
fundamental
explanation
as
to
we
cannot-
should
not
and
be
bound
to
involve
personnel
decisions
names
any
any
any
ideas
specifically
at
this
point
other
than
to
say
what
I
expressed.
M
AD
Chairman,
I
believe
not,
and
there
comes
a
point
where
the
city
has
to
operate,
and
there
has
to
be
some
administrative
leadership
in
the
relationships
that
we
share
with
these
union
leaders
that
there
has
to
be
a
trust
and
then
we're
not
going
to
babble
everything
we
say
and
do
so.
We
have
a
responsibility
to
them
in
keeping
with
that
trust,
and
we
just
we
will
inform
you
as
there's
anything
reportable
to
say
we're,
not.
J
I'm
I'm
not
sure
it's
a
legal
question.
You
know
the
council
legislates
and
the
administration
administers
the
day-to-day
affairs
of
the
city
to
the
extent
that
things
are
shared
with
the
council
president
or
the
chair
of
a
committee.
From
a
practical
standpoint,
it
would
seem
that
that's
important,
but
it's
not
a
legal
issue.
M
AD
AD
M
I
understand
that,
but
I
assume
communication
in
terms
of
press
releases
releases
have
to
be
authorized
or
approved
by
someone.
Are
they
approved
by
you
before
they
go
out?
They
approve
by
the
mayor
by
the
mayor
and
in
terms
of
that
press
release.
Just
not
I
you
know
I
I'm
not
trying
to
get
out
of
line
here,
but
the
fact
that
it
says
that
the
democratic
party
rejected
those
budget
saving
changes
in
terms
of
the
budget.
Let's
just
take
a
note
that
we
weren't
the
only
ones
who
voted
against
it.
M
There
was
another
republican
member
here
there
was
no
who's,
not
who
just
left
from
the
finance
committee
a
little
early
that
participated
in
in
in
that
vote
as
well.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
going
to
have
a
message
on
a
press
release.
Have
it
right
or
don't
have
one
at
all?
Thank
you.
I'm
done
you're.
F
Welcome,
okay,
director
moretti
just
about
two
minutes
ago,
you
used
the
word
trust
and
I
want
to
trust
that
we've
sat
here
when
contracts
have
come
up
and
money
has
been
spent
and
we've
asked
the
questions.
Can
we
afford
this?
Can
we
afford
that
contract?
Can
we
afford
to
do
these
things
and
you've
always
said
yes,
but
yet
you've
never
shared
any
of
the
information.
F
Once
we
hit
the
budget
and
there
were
problems,
you
did
not
come
back
to
bus.
You
didn't
come
to
the
finance
chair,
you
didn't
you
didn't,
try
and
sit
down
with
our
caucus.
You
did
not
make
us
aware
of
any
of
the
problems
and
how
can
we
continue
to
trust
when
the
budget,
first
of
all,
as
councilman
mourinho
said,
was
an
f.
It
uses
half
the
covert
money,
it
creates
a
12
million
structural
deficit.
F
AD
AD
The
finances
we
are
right
about
to
schedule
a
meeting
with
the
council
president
pablokus
and
because
there
is
no
council
minority
leader,
I
believe
and
and
mr
donegan
again
so
we
so
absolutely
correct,
but
we're
not
having
weekly
meetings
and
as
to
that
press
release.
I
agree.
Council
should
have
been
on
it,
but
but
to
say
we
haven't
communicated,
that's
not
fair.
You
didn't
present
a
balanced
case
until
I
had
to
retort,
so
please
be
fair
and
that
could
help
develop
trust.
Also.
T
R
R
Council
marino,
when
she
asks
let's
have
better
communication.
We
are
one
city
we
all
here
to
work
for
the
betterment
of
the
resident
of
queenstown
those
action.
When
the
mr
director
say
that's
the
way
he
does
things,
he
doesn't
send
quests
willis
so
having.
This
is
a
little
ass
to
share
communication
because
is
that
it
is
done
to
show
or
one
group
look
well
or
one
group
look
bad.
Is
that
the
culture,
but
I
think
we
should
do
things
find
common
ground
to
do
for
the
resident
of
queensland.
R
R
I
know
I
just
I
know
I
gave
him
the
benefit
of
the
doubt
that
he
that's
what
he
wants
to
say
when
he
says
not
the
you
know
generally
to
share
the
communication
quest
release
with
the
council.
When
you
share
the
information,
we
do
not
ask
you
to
say
back
and
forth.
Oh
you
don't
want
this
in
your
communication.
R
R
AD
Hopefully,
apparently
he
didn't
inform
you
because
nobody
knew
what
was
going
on
and
and
but
we
can't
control
that,
but
we
intend
to
meet
with
mr
don
again
again
and
also
mr
pop
lockus
it'll
be
this
week,
because
that
was
that
was
certainly
something
it's
it's.
We
don't
have
a
lot
to
report
back
on
at
this
point.
T
Thank
you.
I
don't
take
any
pleasure
in
saying
this,
but
it
has
to
be
said
because
it's
the
truth-
and
it
pains
me
to
your
point
of
you-
know
basically
not
wanting
to
cause
a
panic
or
cause
fear.
I
can
tell
you
honestly
that,
since
last
thursday,
I
have
heard
from
numerous
residents
in
the
city,
some
employees
of
the
city
that
have
used
that
exact
word
of
their
scared
and
they're
afraid,
so
the
ship
has
sailed,
even
though
that
may
have
been
the
intent
to
keep
it.
T
AD
Is
nothing
that
we
we
are
being
as
open,
transparent
with
these
gentlemen
that
are
here
along
with
other
people
in
the
union
leadership?
I
have
offered
my
presence
at
any
meeting
that
they
wish
me
to
be
there
to
explain
exactly
where
we
are
with
the
with
the
city,
and
we
are
communicating.
We
thought
the
right
thing
to
do
is
communicate
directly
with
the
union
representative
union
leadership,
their
representatives
and
work
with
them
versus
when
word
gets
to
those
people.
AD
We
cannot
control
that
we
feel
for
those
people
that
may
be
effective,
they
might
not
be,
we
feel
more
than
you
think
we
feel,
and
but
we
unfortunately,
we
can't
control
if
once
a
discussion
gets
out,
you're
absolutely
right,
but
it
went
through
the
proper
channels
and
and
and
that's
the
most
important
thing
that
they
received
it
the
right
way
versus
from
the
outside.
They
receive
it
from
the
inside
out.
T
AD
Thank
you,
but
I
can't
think
of
a
better
way,
unfortunately,
in
a
terrible
situation
than
to
speak
directly
to
those
people
or
the
way
that
the
union
representatives
want
us
to
communicate,
I
can't
think
of
a
better
way
if
you
ever
think
of
a
better
way,
we'll
be
happy
to
receive
that
input.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you
director,
marty
in
the
past.
I
I
can
say
this.
The
press
release
thing.
This
is
not
the
first
time
it's
happened,
so
I
didn't
know
when
we
would
get
press
release,
I've
seen
it
on
facebook
and
then
gotten
the
press
release.
So
I
don't
I
don't
know
I
am
unclear.
If
we
can
interfere
with
an
administrative
matter
to
say
you,
you
have
to
send
us
a
press
release
when
you
send
it
to
the
press,
but
that
is
your
job.
E
To
make
a
policy,
I
believe,
or
is
it
as
confident
mourinho
suggested?
Do
one
of
us
need
to
put
in
an
ordinance
to
do
so?
It
may
be
legal.
I
don't.
I
don't
I'm
a
little
confused,
because
this
came
up
once
when
councilman
donegan
and
I
tried
to
put
something
through
public
works
and
we
were
told
we
can't
interfere
with
administrative
functions.
J
If,
if
I
may,
mr
chairman,
the
the
notion
of
composing
an
ordinance
to
direct
the
administration
as
to
how
various
positions
and
functions
should
occur
outside
of
what's
in
the
charter,
it
can
be
construed
as
interference
with
the
day-to-day
operations
of
the
administration.
The
duties
of
mr
paiva
are
determined
by
his
employer
in
the
administration.
T
And
and
that's
fine
that
will
save
me,
the
trouble
of
an
ordinance
and
every
time
that
some
something
such
as
this
occurs,
it
will
be,
you
know,
brought
to
light,
but
hopefully
it
will
not
occur
because
again
it's
a
disservice
to
to
the
city
as
a
whole
and
to
residents
it's
not
productive.
You
know
we
do
want
to
work
in
unison,
and
I
appreciate
and
take
director
moretti
at
his
word
that
it
was
just
mere
inadvertence
and
oversight,
and
that
is
not
the
intention
going
forward
and
we
will
see
from
there.
AD
R
R
R
For
the
truth,
they
said
no-
and
I
know
this
budget
was
presented
as
a
this-
was
like
the
best
when
we
we
shoot
the
budget.
Okay,
we
said.
No,
that's
not
working,
it's
not
good
like
that's
now.
There
is
all
those
negotiation
on
the
tables
and
that
could
be
done
before
the
budget
and
I'm
asking
where
is
their
will
to
do
good?
R
Will
it
come
from
so
for
the
truth,
each
head
department
says
they
were
asked.
I
remember,
council
president
chair
finance,
vice
president
asked
this
question
to
each
one
of
them,
so
if
there
was
a
way
to
do
things,
why
we
go
from
there
to
here?
Why
that's
the
question?
What
what
is
the
purpose
of
that?
If
they
could
do
something,
is
there
any?
Is
there
a
pressure
right
now
or
is
it
just
after
the
budget
in
the
administration,
eyes
open
and
see?
R
R
So
after
we
say
no,
it's
not
good
and
now
there's
things
that
can
be
done
and
we
do
it
under
the
table
and
not
even
we
don't
ask
to
have
all
the
details,
but
if
there's
something
that
has
to
be
done,
we
should
be
now.
I
don't
know
what
it
says
in
the
because
I
haven't
have
a
chance
to
with
the
first
wheelies,
so
we
are
the
bad
guys.
R
If
there
is
thing
we
can
do
for
the
good
of
the
president
of
coincidence,
let's
do
it
where
we
can
make
compromise
where
we
can
make
concession.
Let's
do
it,
but
don't
pretend
at
first
it
was
perfect
and
now
when
we
see
all
the
issue
and
suddenly
we
know,
we
see
the
structural
deficit,
12
million
dollars
and
now
we
see
things
has
to
be
do
other
ways
and
don't
okay.
We
are
the
bad
guy
in
this.
R
So,
but
if
we
do
because,
if
we
take
ownership,
we
should
take
ownership,
whoever
take
ownership
for
this
budget,
the
way
it
was
presented
and
now
what
we're
doing
right
now
and
then
just
something
just
doesn't
add
up,
and
I
think
we
should
you
know,
get
rid
of
those
all
cultural.
The
way
we
do
things
here
for
the
better
of
the
resident
of
concern.
We
need
to
do
things
differently.
That's
my
my
hope.
Really
because
we
are
concerned,
we
want
to
see,
you
know,
question
flourish.
R
R
M
I
will
thank
you,
chairman,
given
the
fact
to
the
director
already
that
some
of
these
conversation
that
the
mayor's
offices
has
been
having,
whether
it's
with
the
teamsters
just
the
unions
overall
right
at
that
point.
Am
I
correct
to
say
that
if
we
were
called
for
an
executive
session,
then
we
would
be
actually
privileged
to
have
that
information
at
all
in
terms
of
given
the
fact
and
I'm
not
asking
for
staff
employees
named.
AD
H
J
M
F
AD
AD
And
word
of
mouth
is
how
other
people
potential
came
about.
There
is
no
interest
expressed
to
us
from
anyone,
in
fact,
quite
the
opposite,
they're
concerned
about
someone
who
has
a
viable
job,
putting
themselves
out
there
at
the
risk
of
not
being
accepted.
So
that's
been
conveyed
to
us
on
a
couple
of
occasions,
so
we're
concerned
and
there's
been
no
interest
and
we
know
how
critical
it
is,
but
we
can't
get
blood
out
of
a
rock.
At
this
point.
AD
We
exhausted
what
we
could
previously
and
we're
calling
upon
those.
So
if
there's
any
no
to
answer
your
question
anything
new,
we,
it
was
exhaustive.
The
last
time
when
we
thought
we
had
an
extremely
competent
person.
The
council
respectfully
disagreed,
but
no
there's
no
new
fresh,
innovative
ways
of
recruiting.
F
No,
my
question
is:
have
you
tried
to
figure
out
what
it
is?
You
need
to
do
differently
to
get
someone
interested
in
the
job,
whether
it
be
a
pay,
raise
a
different
kind
of
structure
with
a
job,
a
different
description
of
the
job,
I'm
just
thinking
out
loud
here.
Has
there
been
any
plan
to
try
and
change
the
application
process
to
get
someone
interested
in
the
position?
F
AD
Nothing
different
salary
commitment
commensurate
with
experience,
as
I
said,
there's
more
of
a
deterrent
coming
to
cranston.
It's
not
as
it's
questionable,
so
we've
turned
some
people
off
and
word
gets
around.
So
if
anything,
I
think
a
barrier
has
been
created
that
we
didn't
have
before,
but
we
still
it
doesn't
matter.
We
still
have
to
persevere.
T
T
How
about
with
respect
to
the
option
of
hiring
a
recruiter?
I
would
think
after
we
exhaust
the
issue
after
we
exhaust
the
issue
of
at
least
posting
on,
like
an
indeed
or
something
like
that.
The
option
of
a
recruiter
but
we'd
have
to
put
that
out
to
bid.
I
mean
that
is
a
vital
role.
We
all
agree
and
clearly
just
looking
within
the
walls
of
rhode
island
is
not
going
to
necessarily
be
enough.
AD
AD
Exactly
what
we
did
before
it's
a
smaller
community
than
you
think
the
number
of
people
that
yeah
that's,
why
we
had
a
terrific
candidate
and
would
have
done
a
bang-up
job,
especially
lead
us
through
difficult
times
that
had
that
depth
and
breadth
of
experience.
Obviously
the
council
thought
differently,
and
so
we
don't
want
to
be
put
on
the
defensive
on
this.
AD
T
Need
to
move
beyond
what
hasn't
happened
and
try
to
actively
pursue
someone
in
that
role,
and
I
don't
think
that
from
what
you've
described,
that's
there's
enough
activity
to
try
and
pursue
somebody
in
that
role,
not
saying
it's
easy,
but
there
are
other
options
that
are
available
that
don't
cost.
I.
M
M
I
I
know
that
the
mayor
was
calling
for
for
for
help
of
like
union
and
everyone
else
to
kind
of
tighten
up,
and
I'm
just
curious,
whether
or
not
with
a
recent
press
release
that
went
out
whether
or
not
the
mayor
is
still
going
to
be
giving
his
directors
a
three
percent
salary
increase.
Given
everything
that
you're
asking
of
everyone.
M
F
Thank
you
director,
moretti.
Please
don't
take
any
of
what
we're
asking
you
personally
tonight.
This
is
a
serious
matter.
We're
getting
many
many
phone
calls
emails
from
people
that
are
very
concerned
about
their
tax
bills,
and
I
feel
that
it
is
our
responsibility
to
clear
the
air
on
on
any
of
these
items
that
they
ask
us
the
question
so
with
with
no
further
ado,
I'd
like
to
have
a
motion
to
adjourn.
E
E
I
would
just
like
to
know
if
the
approval
of
the
budget,
as
it
as
it
stood
from
the
beginning,
raised
the
salary
of
the
finance
director.
Did
that
happen
because
it
was
in
the
budget,
and
so
the
person
that
I'm
just
asking
is
the
person
that
we're
looking
for
now.
Are
we
looking
for
someone
who
will
take
108,
000
or
135?
Where
did
we
ever
land
there?
Because,
because
I
don't
think
we
landed
anywhere
and
that's
gonna
change?
AD
M
AD
At
this
point,
salary-
commencement
commensurate
with
experience,
we
could
have
different
people
applying
at
different
experience
and
qualification
levels,
so
we
don't
want
to
have
to
overpay.
If
someone
we
have
to
groom
and
work
with,
and
if
we
have
a
superstar,
we
request
to
have
that
person
at
the
higher
end
of
that,
so
it's
commensurate
with
experience
and
negotiable.
If
you
will
thank.
F
AD
AD
E
Q
E
That
is
what
we,
because
I
think
that
might
be
like.
We
have
a
lot
of
issues
here
that
we
only
get
to
meet
once
or
twice
a
month
and
I
feel
like
we
can't
get
past
them.
So
I
know
that
last
time
we
found
a
person
where
you
found
a
person
that
you
thought
was
excellent.
I
agreed
they
were
not
a
cpa,
so
they
were
out
and
are
we
looking
for
a
cpa
now.
