March 28, 2022
City Council Meeting
A
Before
we
get
going
we're
going
to
start
in
a
couple
of
minutes,
I
know
the
parents
in
the
back
are
going
to
get
mad
at
me,
but
I
got
to
ask
for
everybody
to
try
and
squeeze
in
the
best
they
can
for
the
fire
code.
I
see
some
empty
seats
up
in
the
front.
We
can
get
most
of
the
people
to
sit
down.
That
would
be
helpful.
A
C
A
A
Also,
like
the
record,
reflect
that
council
member
mourinho
is
present.
I
like
to
ask
you
all
to
please
join
me
in
the
pledge
of
allegiance.
A
Thank
you
at
this
point
I'll
ask
for
a
motion
to
dispense
and
to
approve
the
minutes
of
the
last
meeting.
A
A
Hey
good
eve
good
evening,
everyone
we
have
many
citations
to
hand
out
before
we
get
to
the
teams.
I
just
want
to
say
we're
going
to
announce
your
name
come
on
up,
be
careful
of
the
wires
for
the
microphones
and
the
plants
that
need
water.
We're
gonna
do
that
after
the
meeting.
A
That's
our
tradition,
but
just
be
careful
when
you
do
come
up
here
when
we
do
call
your
team
up
we'll
take
one
team
at
a
time
shortly,
but
first
up
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
a
couple
of
directors
that
are
leaving
us.
That,
honestly,
I
think
all
of
us
on
the
city
council
are
very
sad
to
hear,
will
be
very
difficult
to
replace
and
do
a
ton
of
work
for
the
city
of
branson
and
have
for
years.
A
Good
health
and
good
fortune,
just
like
to
say
congratulations
to
director
strom
and
to
all
of
the
people
in
the
gallery.
Here
your
trash
gets
picked
up.
You
never
have
to
think
about
it.
Your
snow
gets
removed
and
many
other
things
it's
all
because
of
director
mason.
So
let's
give
director
mason
a
round
of
applause.
A
And
just
to
follow
up,
I
heard
the
the
men
and
women
of
public
works
department
gave
you
a
golden
golden
trash
can
for
your
retirement.
Is
that
true?
Well,
thank
you
very
much,
sir.
A
We
also
have
somebody
else
to
acknowledge
who
we
like
to
refer
to
has
the
golden
checkbook,
who
is
our
finance
director
for
the
city
of
cranston
who's,
done
a
tremendous
job
for
us
and
will
also
be
sorely
missed
and
I'll.
Read
director
schramm's
citation
on
this
occasion
of
his
retirement
from
the
city
of
branson,
serving
as
internal
auditor
from
july
1
1999
through
june
9
2000
and
as
finance
director
from
january
28
2009
through
march
31st
2022.
A
E
Thank
you
very
much.
I
just
want
to
thank
mayor
allen
fung,
who
I
worked
for
for
12
years
and
also
the
current
administration
mayor
ken
hopkins.
I
want
to
thank
all
the
council
members
present
and
in
the
past
that
I've
worked
with
over
the
last
12
years,
and
I
want
to
thank
my
staff
who's
been
very
helpful
to
me
to
accomplish
some
of
the
things
I
think
we
got
done
in
cranston
and
I
think
cranston
financially
is
in
a
better
position
today
than
it
was
when
I
came
in
in
2009..
A
Again,
congratulations
and
we're
going
to
miss
the
both
here
seriously.
So
thank
you
for
everything
all
right.
Moving
on
to
the
teams,
remember
watch
your
step
when
you
come
up,
we'll
call
you
up
one
by
one
hand
you
your
citation
and
then
please
just
stay
up
here,
so
we
can
get
a
nice
photo
when
you're
done.
Okay,
I'm
gonna
ask
council
member

give
me
a

A
So,

A
F
Thank
you
for
having
us
president
council.
What
can
I
say
about
these
great
kids?
I
took
them
on
kind
of
forced
to
coach
clcf
they're
like
hey.
We
need
a
coach
all
right
I'll.
Do
it
drafting
kids.
We
had
to
draft
kids,
some
kids
never
played
basketball
before
in
their
life
first
season
playing
and
they
developed
as
a
team
and
showed
their
resilience
worked
together,
never
gave
up
on
each
other
and
did
whatever
they
could
do
lost
one
game
by
four
points.
F
You
should
have
won
that
game
and
been
undefeated,
but
we
all
pulled
together
finished
the
season
strong
and
ran
away
with
the
playoffs,
and
it
was
great
to
have
a
huge
trophy
at
the
end
of
the
tournament
right
guys.
I'm
proud
to
be
your
coach.
Thank
you

listening
to
me.
Thank
you
for
letting
coach
ed

I
coach
you

so
I'm
super
proud
of
you
guys.
Thank
you.
A
The
next
team

are
honoring
is

proud
recognition
of
an
undefeated

going

of
all
these

a
very
successful

So,

G
A
Thank

The
next
team
that
we
are
honoring
is
the
saint
mary's
girls
group,
grandma
team,
who
finished
the
year
as
a
semi-finalist
and
made
a
big
push
at
the
end
of
the
season
to
get

the

The
entire
city

extends

to
what
your
team
will
accomplish
next
year.
So,
first
up
on
the
girls
grandma
team,
we
have
lily
sherman.
H
And
at
this
point
you
know
very
proud
look
forward
to
what
they're
going
to
be
able
to
do
in
the
future.
A
All
right,
one
more
team
to
go
last,
but
certainly
not
least,
this
team.
All
year
long
we
heard
about
family
family
was
their
theme
every
time
they
came
in
as
a
team,
they
were
announced
as
a
family.
They
had
a
tough
championship.
Game
came
back
with
seconds
to
go
with
a
three-pointer
to
tie
the
game,
and
then
they
came
back
to
win
the
state
championships
in
overtime.
A
Everybody
at
st
mary's
and
the
city
crash
was
going
to
be
prouder
of
this
team.
They
fought,
they
never
gave
up
and
they
came
out
on
top.
So,
let's
give
a
round
of
applause
for
the
d2
state
champs.
A
B
F
I
can't
say
enough
about
this
team
every
time
I
think
about
it.
I
get
choked
up
what
this
team
has
gone
through
this
year.
Guys
I
love
you
all.
You
know
the
president
council
said
something
about
family.
We
didn't
become
family
until
I'd
say
about
four
months
ago.
You
know
we
just
kept
striving
to
be
the
best
team,
then,
all
of
a
sudden
it
clicked.
We
became
a
family
and
you
guys
played
your
butts
off
for
me
for
coach
renee
and
for
each
other.
F
Nevertheless,
you
know
we
should
have
been
undefeated,
but
but
I'll
take
the
blame
on
that
one
lost
nate.
I
got
your
darn,
but
when
we
talk
a
hell
of
a
game
and
for
those
who
are
friends
with
me
on
facebook,
we've
seen
plenty
of
videos.
These
kids
came
back.
You
know
down
six
minutes
a
minute.
Thirty
left.
You
would
never
think
that
game
win
game
tie
in
three
by
nate.
You
know
put
us
in
overtime.
F
Two
seconds
left
angel
comes
up
with
a
great
unselfish
pass
from
marcelo
for
a
quick
two
second
layup
with
two
seconds
left
and
we
won
35-34
to
be
a
state
champion
and
hang
a
banner
up
in
st
mary's
gym
guys.
This
is
a
hell
of
a
way
to
end
your
eighth
grade.
You
know
we
battled
a
lot
as
kids
going
through
covid,
you
know
losing
a
whole
season.
I
couldn't
be
prouder
of
you
guys
so
from
deep
down
my
heart.
I
love
you
guys
so.
A
A
Thank
you
state
champions,
st
mary's
tigers
at
this
time,
I'll
call
for
a
five-minute
recess
to
allow
the
players
and
parents
to
go
home
and
have
a
late
dinner.
I'm
sure
you
don't
want
to
sit
through
the
rest
of
the
evening.
You
can
I'm
not
asking
you
to
leave,
but
we'll
call
for
a
five
minute
recess.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
A
All
right
I'll
hereby
return
us
from
recess.
Thank
you
very
much
everyone
that
was
a
lot
of
fun
having
the
teams
come
in,
not
the
saying
goodbye
to
the
director's
part,
but
having
the
teams
come
in
was
a
lot
of
fun.
A
Moving
on
to
item

public
hearings
and

this
is

Thank

Moving
on
to
the
ordinance
committee
councilman
chair
of
ordinance
committee,
matthew
riley
for
introduction.
C
Thank
you,
council
president.
We
have
before
us
ordinance
3-2-2-0-1-s.
C
This
is
the
ordinance
and
amendment
of
title
ii
of
the
code
of
the
city
of
cranston
entitled
ward
boundaries.
This
would
be
enacting
the
city
of
france
since
2022
ward
redistricting
plan
sponsored
by
council
president
pablaskas.
This
passed
unanimously
in
committee,
and
I
urge
passage
tonight.
A
Thank
you,
chairman
I'll,
entertain
a
motion
on
3-22-01
s.
J
Thank
you
president.
I
don't
come
to
this
decision
lightly
and
it's
I'll
keep
my
comments
for
this
and
the
resolution.
So
I'm
not
gonna,
repeat
myself.
J
You
know,
we've
sat
here
through
several
meetings
and
I've
talked
about
the
issue
of
prison-based
gerrymandering
and
while
the
boundaries
themselves
of
the
maps,
I
I
don't
have
any
particular
issue
with.
In
fact,
I
think
that
they're
they're
quite
well
done
I'm
in
keeping
neighborhoods
intact,
particularly
neighborhoods,
that
were
once
part
of
ward
three
that
are
now
part
of
war,
two
or
one's
part
of
war,
two
that
are
now
part
of
ward
three,
so
you
know
in
my
personal,
you
know
the
ward
that
I
am
currently
elected
to
represent.
J
I
think
it
does
a
very
good
job
at
keeping
neighborhoods
intact,
so
my
issues
aren't
necessarily
with
the
ward.
J
My
issue
is
with
the
the
continuance
and
perpetuate
issue
of
prison-based
gerrymandering
and
including
non-resident
incarcerated
persons
in
the
redistricting
data.
J
Essentially,
there
will
be
about
11,
000,
actual
residents
of
ward
6,
not
including
resident
non-incarcerated
persons.
It's
about
14
000
residents
in
ward
3,
which
is
where
I
represent
so
effectively.
14
000
residents
in
ward
3
will
have
the
same
political
representation
of
11
000
residents
in
ward
6,
and
I
don't
think
that's
right.
The
resolution
that
is
not
before
us
officially
on
this
motion,
but
will
be
momentarily.
J
That's
done
to
residents
in
cranston,
outside
of
ward
six,
and
so
for
that
reason
I'll
be
voting
against
this
tonight,
and
I
would
urge
my
colleagues
to
do
the
same.
A
I
see
none
I'll
just
follow
up
by
saying
that
the
the
charter
says
that
we
have
to
obviously
people
accounted
where
they're
counted
for
the
census
and
that
charter
has
to
file
the
census.
So
that's
the
the
maps
that
are
before
us
today.
I
just
want
to
thank
director,
lima,
gis,
mia
jerusal
and
the
entire
board
of
canvases
for
all
their
hard
work
on
everything
that
they've
done.
So
thank
you
for
everything,
phenomenal
job
over
a
year
and
a
half
process,
and
certainly
thank
you
for
all
your
work.
M
M
I
guess
what
the
state
is
doing
or
perhaps
recommending
I'm
not
sure
if
director
lima
would
be
able
to.
I
know
we're
not.
I
Good
evening,
council
president
members
of
the
council,
so
the
the
state
reapportionment
commission
established
a
new
process
this
year
in
which
they
decided
to
not
count
a
portion
of
the
incarcerated
population
at
this
at
the
story
center
that
was
limited
to
just,
I
believe,
those
incarcerated
for
sentences
or
a
waiting
sentence
of
less
than
two
years
at
the
time
of
the
census,
which
is
april,
1st
2020.
I
So
for
that
narrow
segment
of
the
prison
population
at
the
aci,
the
incarcerated
population,
the
state
reapportionment
commission
decided
to
reallocate
that
population
to
what
they
define
as
geo-codable
rhode
island
addresses
elsewhere
in
the
state.
So
in
in
simpler
terms,
if
they
had
a
record
of
where
the
individual
lived
prior
to
being
incarcerated,
they
made
it
a
best
attempt
effort
to
put
that
individual
in
the
census
block
geography
where
they
could
be
counted
for
purposes
of
redistricting.
I
That
could
not
be
done
for
all
records
that
the
aci
had,
because
the
the
issue
is
here
was
they
were
doing
it
essentially,
after
the
fact,
the
aci
when
it
took
these
prisoners
in
on
or
before
april,
1st
2020
did
not
do
so
with
the
intent
of
using
that
data
to
provide
to
the
state
for
the
future.
I
So
the
data
wasn't
exactly
great
data
from
my
understanding
of
the
state
used,
however,
what
they
were
able
to
use
what
they
were
able
to
geo
code-
and
I
don't
know
the
exact
number-
we've
actually
asked
the
state
for
the
numbers
and
as
of
today,
they
still
haven't
responded
to
us,
but
the
the
numbers
that
they
did
reallocate
were
roughly
a
thousand
people
from
the
prisoner
population
and
that
was
used
to
change
the
statewide
totals
for
the
congressional
approachment,
as
well
as
the
state
representative
and
state
senate
apportionment.
I
I
So
as
part
of
that
motion,
the
state
commission
said
something
to
the
fact
that
this
motion
will
apply
to
just
the
actions
of
the
state
legislature
for
state
inc,
congressional
redistricting,
thereby
leaving
the
decision
of
local
redistricting
of
wards
up
to
the
individual
town,
so
in
in
essence,
the
intent
of
the
state's
action
was
to
only
if,
in
effect,
the
state
process
and
for
it
to
not
have
a
reverberating
effect
to
cities
and
towns
unless
the
cities
and
towns
themselves
decided
to
to
to
do
otherwise.
I
Now,
of
course,
here
in
cranston,
as
as
was
mentioned,
we
have
a
home
rule
charter
that
outlines
ridiculing
process-
that's
not
really
subject
to
to
alteration
except
for
by
action
of
the
voters,
it
that
varies
from
say
from
town
to
town,
city,
to
city,
amongst
the
39
municipalities,
some
cities
and
towns,
actually
don't
even
bring
ridiculing
to
a
council.
It's
part
two
aborted
canvassers
or
an
independent
commission,
but
the
process
here
is
what
it
is
and
it's
not
really
affected
or
impacted
by
what
was
done
at
the
state
level.
I
But
you
know
the
the
short
answer
version
to
your
question.
Council
councilwoman
is
yes.
The
state
did
employ
a
different
means
to
do
so
on
a
limited
basis
that
I
believe,
under
the
states
rule
set
that
they
they
kind
of
came
up
with
on
the
fly
there
were
around
1400
or
so
individuals
that
were
incarcerated,
the
aci
that
are
still
counted
by
the
state
in
cranston
and
there
abouts
a
thousand
that
are
not.
M
Council
president,
I
may
follow
up
the
question.
Thank
you.
Okay.
So
again,
it's
just
as
just
as
I'm
reading
the
information,
and
I
have
read
the
information
based
on
the
ordinance
committee
and
I'm
just
educating
myself
from
that
ordinance
committee
to
until
this
day
and
I'm
asking
questions
and
so
that
I
can
be
prepared
to
actually
vote
on
it
this
evening
as
well
or
more
informed.
I
should
say
than
than
what
I
was
at
the
ordinance
committee.
I
That
would
be
correct
and
and
to
expand
upon
a
little
bit
so
there's
several
different
ways
that
could
be
altered
and
changed.
It
was
discussed
a
little
bit
last
february
march
when
the
council
discussed
this.
A
charter
change
would
be
the
the
mechanism
for
for
the
city
to
change
this
in
the
future.
I
So
that's
one
mechanism,
another
mechanism-
and
I
know
that
there
are
several
groups
nationwide
that
are
focused
on
this-
is
to
actually
lobby
the
census
bureau
itself
to
change
the
way
it
apportions
population
data
when
every
10
years
with
the
decennial
census.
No
charter
change
would
be
necessary
in
cranston.
If,
for
example,
the
census
bureau
decided
outright
on
its
own
accord
to
count
incarcerated
persons
at
their
last
known
address
prior
to
incarceration,
the
census
bureau
has
considered
that.
I
know
that
was
considered
in
advance
of
the
2020
census.
I
It
was
considered
in
advance
of
the
2010
census,
but
so
far
they
haven't
been
persuaded
to
change
that
the
other
mechanism
would
be
by
an
act
of
the
state
itself.
There's
been
legislation
proposed
in
the
general
assembly
each
of
the
last
several
years
that
would
instruct
the
cities
and
towns
and
create
a
mechanism
that
would
require
the
aci
to
report
to
the
secretary
of
state
last
known,
addresses
for
for
incarcerated
persons
to
be
used
exclusively
in
with
certain
privacy
protections
in
place
for
the
redistricting
process.
I
That
mechanism
isn't
currently
in
place
so
any
independent
action.
For
example,
a
charter
change
in
the
city
of
cranston
would
have
to
have
concurrent
with
it
some
sort
of
duplicative
action
at
the
state
level.
That
would
enable
the
city
of
cranston
to
encumber
make
the
the
aci
provide
that
information
or
or
enter
a
memorandum
of
understanding
or
agreement
to
provide
that
what
is
essentially
confidential
information
to
the
city
for
use
in
that
purpose.
That's
the
process
that
would
take
significant
policy
discussions
in
months
or,
if
not
years,
to
actually
implement
correctly.
M
Thank
you
so
much.
The
other
thing
was
then,
that
someone
right
now
or
the
incarcerated
person
at
the
ac
aci
grounds
right
now
could
vote
right
now
as
of
now
in
cranston,
so
as
long
as
they're
having
committed
a
felony
right
or
they're,
guessing
trial
or
so
forth,
but
other
and
and
receive
the
services
of
course,
which
they
would
have
to
if
someone
falls
and
the
ambulance
gets
called
or
something
happens.
M
Obviously
we
provide
that
service
because
they're
in
city
grounds
a
city
in
our
city,
but
as
far
as
then
the
children
of
those
pres
of
the
prisoners
they
can't
go
to
school
in
cranston.
That
is,
is
that
correct?
Well,.
I
I
I,
as
far
as
I
know,
I
really
can't
answer
that
it's
that's
sort
of
for
the
jurisdiction
of
the
school
department
and
the
state
laws
control
where
students
can
and
can't
go
to
school
as
well,
but
in
terms
of
actual
voting
against
that
portion
and
that
under
chapter
1
of
title
17,
the
definition
of
a
domicile
is
established.
So
a
domicile
is
considered
someone's
residence
for
voting
purposes.
I
So
it's
it's
restrictive
and
this
is
misconstrued.
Often
it's
restrictive
to
someone
who's
actually
eligible
to
vote.
If
you're
a
registered
eligible
voter,
your
residence
for
voting
purposes
is
defined
as
abcde
and
is
not
lost
solely
by
incarceration
in
a
correctional
facility
or
attendance
at
an
educational
institution
or
if
you
get
confined
to
a
nursing
home
or
a
hospital.
Your
existing
residence
continues.
However,
if
you're
convicted
upon
conviction
of
a
felony,
you
lose
the
right
to
vote.
I
So
that's
a
non-applicable
statute
so
that
language
doesn't
really
apply
to
that
individual
until
such
time
as
that
person,
for
example,
is
released
from
their
friendly
conviction
and
then
they
can
be
re-enfranchised
actually
and
they
often
are
automatically
by
our
office.
But
that
said,
you
know
the
rules
are
what
they
are
in
those
instances.
You
know
if
a
law
passed
tomorrow
that
you
know
where
to
count.
I
Voters
who
live
on
the
moon,
I'm
gonna
go
sign
up
for
astronaut
training,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
you
know
the
law
is
very
clear
in
cranston
that
you
know
we
have
a
charter,
that's
controlling
in
order
for
the
process
to
continue
which
were
required
by
the
charter
to
complete
the
process
were
required
by
state
and
federal
law
to
complete
the
process,
to
not
see
that
process
through
to
fruition
in
in
a
timely
manner
and
timely
being
the
next
few
days.
I
We
could
be
in
a
position
where
the
actual
conduct
of
the
election
is
jeopardized
and
the
ability,
for
example,
voter,
not
just
voters
but
candidates,
that
want
to
come
into
office
in
in
june
and
provide
declarations
of
cancer
when
we
wouldn't
be
in
a
position
to
securely
inform
those
people
where
they
actually
live.
What
boundary
they
live
in.
You
know
absent
passage
by
the
council
and
approval
by
the
mayor.
M
N
I
Right
would
be
incarcerated
if
someone
is
awaiting
trial,
for
example,
if
they
did
want
to
vote.
You
know
the
turnout
would
probably
be
pretty
low,
because
at
that
point
people
have
other
things
in
mind,
but
they
are
still
allowed
to
vote.
They
would
most
likely
vote
from
their
previous
address
using
a
mail
ballot
and
that
address
would
be
listed
at
the
previous
board
of
campuses.
So
we
don't
have
data
that
would
destruct
upon
that.
But
going
back
to
the
beginning
at
the
pastor,
you
see
the
pastor.
I
You
said
at
the
bestory
center,
the
prestory
complex
as
a
whole.
We
do
also
have
eleanor
slater
hospital,
so
eleanor
slater
there
are
people
confined
by
their
will
and
not
by
the
will,
for
you
know,
under
ruling
and
mental
incompetence,
or
for
for
other
things
that
are
allowed
to
vote
and
that
do
in
fact
vote.
So
we
have
about
80
to
100,
depending
on
the
year
individuals
that
vote
by
mail
ballot
from
from
that
precinct.
M
All
right,
thank
you.
I
I
have
two
quick
things.
If,
if
could
be
very
quickly,
I
apologize
taking
the
microphone
away
from
everyone
else
that
I'm
sure
wants
to
speak
as
well
is.
If
we
were
to
change
the
charter
would
have
to
go
based
on,
obviously
an
ordinance
have
it
if
it
passes.
It
would
then
go
on
the
ballot
for
this
year,
which
would
then
change
it
for
the
census
10
years
from
now,
exactly.
I
That
would
be
my
understanding,
it'd
be
subject
to,
I
think
legal
interpretation,
but
for
the
most
part,
yes,
a
charter
change
for
an
action
that
we'll
be
taking
in
the
future
will
only
be
effective
for
that
action
and
not
retroactive
to
previous
actions.
M
O
M
I
So
the
the
voting
rights
act,
the
the
constitution,
federal
constitution,
state
constitution
and
the
charter
all
require
the
city
to
undergo
a
registering
operation
every
10
years,
following
the
release
of
the
decennial
census
and
that's
established
by
court
precedent.
So
a
failure
of
the
city
to
complete
that
process
and,
for
example,
continue
under
the
2012
existing
ward
boundary
lines
which,
by
the
way
were
drawn
using
the
same
rules,
could
be
considered
a
significant
violation
of
those
those
legal
principles
and
open
up
the
city
to
litigation.
I
But
I
think
the
more
pressing
matter
is
for
our
office
by
april
15th.
Our
final
data
transmission
has
to
be
made
to
the
secretary
of
state's
office,
and
not
only
that,
you
know
assuming
if
the
council
were
to
pass
this
tonight
and
would
be
transmitted
to
the
mayor
for
his
signature
before
the
ink
is
dry
on
the
mayor's
signature
I'll
be
on
the
phone
to
regine
printing
so
that
they
can
begin
printing,
our
60
000
piece
mailer
that
we're
going
to
every
registered
voter
in
the
city
in
the
month
of
may.
I
There
are
supply
shortages
right
now,
and
so
the
timing
on
that
is
is
critical,
we'll
be
printing
hundreds
of
new
maps
so
that
when
candidates
come
in
when
voters
come
in,
they
can
see
what
their,
what
their
maps,
what
districts
they
are.
They
are
in
and
we'll
also
be
sending
as
a
resolution
later
on
on,
the
docket
indicates
to
the
general
assembly
procedural
motion
to
codify
the
council's
action
in
state
law,
which
is
was
done
10
years
ago.
I
So
all
that
will
happen
the
day
that
this
is
ratifies
law
by
the
city,
and
then
there
are
a
number
of
other
actions
that
our
office
has
to
take
over
the
course
of
the
over
the
next
succeeding
few
weeks
as
we
prepare
for
canada
declaration
in
june
and
once
we
hit
june,
that's
the
election,
we're
we're
in
a
non-stop
train
at
that
point
of
50
or
60
election
deadlines
that
all
happen
in
succession
and
not
one
of
those
deadlines
can
be
moved
or
delayed,
because
it
would
therefore
put
us
in
violation
of
state
law
and
delay
other
processes
and
delay
the
actual
conduct
of
the
election
in
the
city
of
branson
itself.
I
So,
that's
why
it's
critically
important
it's!
It's
sort
of
a
we're
up
against
an
immovable
wall
in
here
and
so
no
matter
what
the
city
has
to
have
a
ridiculing
plan
in
place
here
in
the
in
the
next
really
now,
but
ideally
the
next
few
days,
and
that's
why
tonight
the
city
of
providence
is,
I
believe,
conducting
their
final
public
hearing
on
this,
and
you
have
towns
all
around
the
state
that
are
scrambling
to
to
do
what
we've
been
doing
here
for
the
last
year
and
get
this
process
complete.
M
Thank
you.
I
I
appreciate
your
your
time
and
I
know
a
lot
of
other
cities
are
going
through
it
as
well.
I
mean
my
concern
is
obviously
here
in
cranston
the
fact
that
we
have
an
incarcerated
population
and
the
you
know
we
always
we
we
hear
loosely
the
term,
occasionally
the
gerrymandering
right
and
you
know,
let's
be
honest.
M
A
lot
of
the
folks
that
are
incarcerated
are
also
you
know:
black
and
brown
community
members
that
are
also
there
and
I'm
just
kind
of
concerned
as
far
as
including
that
into
the
population,
whether
or
not
if
we
did
not
include
any
of
the
incarcerators
in
the
population.
Would
it
really
dramatically
make
a
den
in
the
ward
redistricting
at
a
wall.
I
So
not
knowing
the
numbers
because,
like
I
said,
we
have
requested
the
numbers
from
the
state.
So
if
we
wanted
to,
we
could
go
through
that
theoretical
exercise
and
even
though
they
said
it
would
be
made
available
to
cities
and
towns.
As
of
today,
despite
numerous
requests,
the
state
has
still
not
provided
I
say
the
state,
the
state,
reapportionment
commission
and
its
staff
have
still
not
provided
those
numbers
to
the
city,
so
we
can't
even
really
consider
that
theoretical.
If
we
wanted
to,
because
we
don't
have
the
data.
I
That
said
we
can,
I
could
estimate,
I
can
say
well,
say:
there's
a
thousand
people
there.
If
we
follow
the
exact
same
rules,
the
state
did.
That
would
not
significantly
change
the
ward
boundaries.
There
might
have
to
be
minor
changes
here
and
there,
but
it
wouldn't
be
a
complete
redrawing
of
the
entire
map
of
the
city,
for
example,
because
it
wouldn't
a
thousand
people
in
the
city
of
80
000,
wouldn't
throw
off
the
target
population
that
much
it's
not.
For
example,
this
is
a
bigger
issue.
I
I
know
in
other
jurisdictions
where
you,
for
example,
have
a
federal
penitentiary
with
12
000
inmates
in
a
small
rural
town
of
fifteen
thousand
people.
That's
a
significant
issue
there
in
that
wildly
would
throw
off
population
numbers
here.
It
wouldn't
throw
them
off
enough,
where
we'd
have
to
completely
redraw
the
map
or
start
from
scratch,
but
it
would
require
us
to
to
go
through
an
effort
to
redraw
the
map
in
some
way.
M
Thank
you
again
and
and
and
for
the
record,
you
know
the
reason
why
I'm
also
asking
as
far
as
increasing
numbers
or
decreasing
numbers,
particularly
in
ward
6,
is
not
anything
politically
on
on
councilman
riley
or
whether
it's
a
republican
or
a
democratic
held
physician.
It's
really
just
the
issue
at
hand
in
that
ward
itself,
you
know
just
increasing
that
that
number
due
to
the
incarcerated
population.
M
It's
really
one
of
my
my
my
concerns
that
I
that
I
have
as
the
research
team,
but
otherwise,
as
I
did
last
during
the
ordinance
committee,
and
I
commended
you
and
your
staff
on
the
work
that
you've
done
and
the
great
the
the
mapping
and
the
gis
as
well
being
done
by
the
staff.
I
I
really
appreciate
that
my
only
concern
is
really
on
the
incarcerated
population
being
counted
towards
the
ward
6
population.
I.
I
Understand
completely,
I
also
understand
what
someone
done
said
as
well.
You
know
for
me,
as
I
mentioned,
as
an
elections
administrator
what
the
law
is,
I'm
going
to
always
going
to
follow
it
and,
as
directed
I'm
going
to
proceed
as
as
directed
just
in
this
case,
I
know
that
we
are
at
a
point
where
we
cannot.
A
Thank
you
director,
lima.
You
testify
in
front
of
us
a
lot.
I
can
hear
the
urgency
in
your
voice
tonight
with
the
deadline
that
your
office
and
you
are
up
against
who
had
their
hand
up
next
councilmember
donegan.
You
spoke
already
so
I'll,
go
to
council
member
renzuli
and
then
councilmember
jermaine.
K
I
Well,
a
a
no
a
person
who
will
be
at
the
aci
wouldn't
be
counted
there
for
for
voting.
So
there's
two
separate
things:
there's
the
census
population
numbers
so
the
if
they
were
there
on
april,
1st
2020,
that's
where
the
census
counted
them.
Yes,
if
someone
has
a
you
know,
is
incarcerated
but
has
not
been
convicted
either
what
they're
incarcerated
for
or
previously
on
conviction
of
a
felony.
They
still
technically
have
the
right
to
vote
in
some
cases.
I
Do
vote,
but
it'd
be
my
understanding,
the
the
vast
vast
majority,
if
not
all,
would
vote
using
their
previous
address
so
their
their
current
address
of
residence
or
record
in
the
central
voter
registration
system,
in
other
words,
someone
who's
been
incarcerated.
The
aci
isn't
generally
filing
a
voter
registration
form
to
register
to
vote
at
the
facility,
because
usually
they
focus
on
other
matters
of
that
at
that
point
in
time
in
their
lives.
But
if
they
did
choose
to
vote,
it
would
be
via
mail
ballot
at
their
previous
address.
K
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
answering
that
question
and
everyone's
questions
you're
extremely
knowledgeable,
and
I
know
that
the
whole
city
appreciates
it.
I
would
like
to,
I
guess:
ask
legal:
are
we
essentially
going
against?
We
take
an
oath
to
uphold
the
charter
and
if,
in
the
charter,
it
says
we
need
to
go
by
the
census
numbers,
regardless
of
of
how
we
feel
you
know
where,
where
people
should
be
counted,
is
it
we're
essentially
going
against
our
oath?
If
we
vote
against
us
tonight,
correct.
O
A
And
not
to
confuse
things
more
and
directly,
you
can
clarify
just
like
if
a
college
student
was
at
johnson
wales
on
april
1st,
they
get
counted
there,
but
they
could
live
in
saratoga,
new
york
and
to
an
absentee
ballot.
Rob
is
that
the
kind
of
the
same
premise
to
what
councilwoman
rinzuli
was
asking
right.
I
So
the
census
counts,
for
example,
students
at
brown,
university
or
university
of
rhode,
island
or
rhode
island
school
design,
pc
in
in
france's
case
johnson
wales
university.
If
they're
resident,
if
they're
domiciled
in
in
the
city
on
that
date
april,
1st
2020,
that's
where
the
census
bureau
counts
them,
that's
where
our
population
numbers
show
them.
You
know
that's.
Actually,
there
is
a
correction
made
there
in
the
in
the
census,
numbers
in
2020
versus
2010
in
2010.
I
The
census
have
erroneously
counted
all
the
the
students
there
in
providence,
which
throws
off
the
numbers
in
ward
one
a
little
bit,
and
I
think
one
of
the
reasons
actually
why
we
see
a
bigger
population
increase
in
ward,
one
than
the
rest
of
the
city
is
because
we
informed
the
census
of
that
error.
A
couple
of
years
ago,
they're
able
to
update
their
data,
we
created
a
new
address.
It
was
100,
harborside,
boulevard,
providence,
rhode
island.
I
Even
though
five
of
the
12
dorms
there
are
physically
in
cranston
they're
all
sharing
the
same
address,
so
we
established
through
the
public
works
department
and
through
working
with
johnson
wales,
a
new
address
there
55
wildcat
way.
Cranston,
rhode
island,
so
that
the
students
who
are
domiciled
at
those
residence
halls,
the
five
on
the
cranston
side
would
be
counted
correctly
by
this
by
the
census
bureau
and
looking
at
the
data.
I
It
appears
that
that
was
the
case
and
that's
the
case,
for
you
know,
people
in
the
hospital
or
nursing
home
or
other
other
areas
where
you
may
be
considered
temporarily
absent
from
another
domicile.
But
as
far
as
the
census
bureau
is
concerned,
that
is
where
your
domicile
consensus
day.
In
order
to
prevent
you
from
being
counted
multiple
times,
they
count
you
where
you
are.
The
census
bureau
calls
it
counting
people
once
only
once
and
in
the
right
place.
I
A
You
director
and
councilwoman
council
woman,
jermaine.
P
Thank
you,
council
president.
Thank
you.
What
do
you
tell
him?
My
question
is,
you
know
I
spoke
already
when
you
present
and
I
commend
you
for
the
lie.
I
have
no
issue
with
the
lie,
but
my
issue
is:
is
it
clear
the
state
took
an
action
to
remove
whether
completely
or
not
completely,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
if
we
do
whatever
we
do
here
when,
like
the
resolution,
we're
not
there
yet.
So
if
we
pass
this
ordinance
and
we
pass
this
resolution
and
we
send
it
to
the
state.
P
So
if
they
say
no
we're
not
following
what
we
propose,
what
would
happen.
I
So,
in
this
case,
the
state
wouldn't
be
empowered
to
do
so
because,
under
the
homo
charter
provisions,
the
state
does
not
have
the
ability
to
dictate
to
the
city
how
we
draw
our
award
lines.
However,
the
city
has
decided
over
decades
to
include
language
in
the
charter
requiring
our
ward
lines
to
be
approved
by
the
state.
So
the
state
views
that,
to
my
understanding
as
a
procedural
measure,
so
it's
not
something
that
they
can
go
to
the
general
assembly
and
the
general
assembly
would
debate
it
and
decide
to
change
it
and
and
alter
it.
I
What
whatever
the
the
the
city
sends
to
the
state,
the
state
says:
oh
thanks
for
thanks
for
sending
it
to
us,
we'll
we'll
we'll
get
this
passed,
we'll
encode
it
in
as
a
local
act
and
resolve
so
from
from
a
city
perspective.
I'll
give
an
example.
10
years
ago
my
predecessor,
when
she
was
registered
coordinator,
drafted
similar
legislation
to
go
to
the
state
that
actually
included
all
the
award
boundaries
the
meets
and
bounds
descriptions
of
how
each
ward
would
be
defined.
I
The
state
legislative
council,
the
general
assembly
in
2012,
threw
that
out
and
rewrote
the
draft
resolution
in
essentially
the
form
that
you
have
here,
which
is
just
a
paragraph
that
says,
to
the
extent
that
this
needs
to
be
approved
by
the
state.
It
is
hereby
approved
by
the
state.
So
so
the
state's
action
of
the
state
general
assembly's
action
to
to
ratify
the
councils
in
the
city's
action
is
is
purely
a
procedural
act,
and
it's,
I
think
it's
you
know
if
you
want.
You
want
me
to
postulate
a
reason
why
it's
there.
P
P
I
I
We
would
then
have
to
rely
upon
cooperation
from
the
state
from
a
state
agency
that
is
not
subject
to
oversight
by
the
city
to
provide
that
data,
which
is
confidential,
data
and
information
to
us
in
order
to
make
those
decisions,
and
then
I
I
think
then,
then
there
would
be
another
legal
question
if
we
were
to
remove
just
the
city
of
branson
were
to
take
that
action
and
remove
persons
from
the
aci.
I
They
would
be
nowhere.
They
would
have
no
representation
so
that
those
persons
could
then
perhaps
have
justification
to
enter
the
litigation
of
the
city
and
there's
there's
a
lot
of
legal
questions
there
that
I'm
not
really
qualified
to
answer,
but
that's
those
are
hypotheticals,
and
in
order
for
for
all
that
to
happen,
yes,
there
would
have
to
be
a
charter
change
first
and
those
other
questions
would
have
to
be
answered
along
the
way.
I
I
can
tell
you
that
nationally
redistricting
is
one
of
the
most
litigated
functions
of
government
at
all
levels
of
government,
and
so
I
I
can't
I'm
not
an
attorney.
I
can't
look
at
this
and
I
don't
think
I
don't
think
that
would
be
the
case
for
any
ordinance
or
any
act
passed
by
the
council.
That
an
assurance
could
be
made
that
it's
that
it's
litigation
proof.
R
You,
council
president,
thank
you
director,
lima,
for
all
the
work
that
your
office
has
has
put
into
this.
While
I
appreciate
and
understand
councilman
donegan's
argument
and
concerns-
and
I
have
those
as
well-
because
I
do
not
think
that
when
we're
talking
about
redistricting
populations
for
the
wards
that
we
should
be
considering
a
population
that
is
not
really
eligible
to
vote
here
in
cranston,
so
therefore
I
don't
see
how
that
leads
to
fair
and
equal
representation.
So
I
agree
with
that.
R
The
state
commission
did
something
they
haven't
done
in
a
long
time
and
at
least
set
forth
that
the
that
the
end
result
should
be
that
the
aci
incarcerated
population
should
not
be
considered
when
doing
the
redistricting,
but
the
state
has
not
enacted
a
law
to
enable
us
to
do
that
tonight
and
our
charter
limits
us
to
following
the
census
data
which
includes
that
population
director
lima,
took
it
one
step
further
in
terms
of
the
census
bureau,
while
they've
been
considering
the
action
hasn't
done
it
yet
either.
R
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
mourinho
anybody
else
who
hasn't
spoken
yet
nice,
councilman,
riley.
C
I'll
put
in
my
two
cents
so,
first
and
foremost,
director
lima,
I
thanked
you
at
the
ordinance
committee
and
I
want
to
thank
you
and
your
staff
and
the
board
tonight.
You
guys
were
on
top
of
this.
The
foresight
you
had
a
year
ago
putting
everything
together,
you
blew
other
cities
and
towns
away
and
the
state
as
a
whole.
You
guys
should
be
commended
and
everyone
should
know
how
how
well
you
guys
did
and
how
hard
you
all
worked.
C
So
I
want
to
thank
you
with
regard
to
the
issue
of
the
quote:
unquote
prison
gerrymandering,
the
setting
this
forth
just
on
prisoners
when
the
actual
group
should
be
populations
not
eligible
to
vote
where
they
are.
That
would
include
your
all
your
college
students
in
ward,
one
that
would
include
all
your
children,
every
children
in
every
single
ward.
So
there's
a
lot
of
transient
groups
that
go
through
the
city
that
are
that
are
included.
C
So
why
this
one,
and
not
that
one
with
respect
to,
however,
the
charter
deals
with
legally,
I
concur
with
councilwoman
mourinho
the
charter
clear.
C
So
as
of
tonight,
I
don't
see
that
we
even
have
a
choice,
but
at
the
same
time
I
like
to
try
to
cut
through
things
and
not
dispel
with
just
noise
and
focus
on
actual
specifics,
and
I've
asked
this
question
before
I
don't
know-
and
we
can
just
use
this
vote
before
us
tonight-
how
anyone
in
ward
6
has
a
greater
voice
on
whether
we
pass
this
redistricting
plan
than
someone
in
ward,
five
or
four
based
on
simply
that
this
theory
of
one
person,
one
vote
because,
like
we
already
established
the
fact
that
there
are
five
dorms
full
of
people
in
ward,
one
that
are
counted
but
not
eligible
to
vote
and
their
number
of
children
and
children
differ
in
each
each
of
the
wards
that
are
counted
and
that
don't
vote.
C
So
I
I
think,
there's
no
actual
specific
difference
to
anyone
throughout
this
city.
When
there
are
nine
of
us
here
that
vote,
I
can,
I
understand
the
number
and
the
amorphous
theory
behind
it,
but
when
we
actually
get
to
concrete
people,
how
does
you
know
john
smith,
at
23,
dalwood
road
benefit
over
someone
else
on
that's
under
trail.
So
that's
all
I
had
to
say
on
that.
C
A
J
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
appreciate
the
comments
of
everyone
tonight
and,
and
I
recognize
that
this
is
a
policy
disagreement
and
that's
that's
the
nature
of
being
in
politics
or
policy
disagreements,
and
that's
quite
all
right.
I'm
not
gonna
go
back
and
forth
with
councilman
riley
we've
done
it.
J
I
think
three
or
four
times
on
this
issue,
so
I'm
just
not
going
to
go
back
into
a
point
by
point
tonight.
I
just
want
to
be
clear,
though,
that
my
my
vote
against
the
maps
and
the
resolution
is
not
in
any
way
a
reflection
of
of
my
feeling
of
the
work
of
the
canvassers
department
or
director.
Lima.
I've
told
him
that
personally
want
to
let
the
canvassers
know
that
you
have
all
done
an
incredible
job,
transparent,
communicative
throughout
the
entire
process.
J
It's
it
has
nothing
to.
I
don't
want
anyone
to
think
that
I'm
making
any
sort
of
accusations
of
nefarious
conduct
or
anything
like
that.
I
just
want
to
be
real
clear
about
that.
I
think
you
all
have
done
a
great
job.
It's
merely
a
policy
decision
that
policy
makers-
that's
us,
have
chosen
to
make
or
not
make,
and
that's
it.
A
Thank
you
councilwoman,
and
I
promised
to
give
you
the
last
word
you're,
the
last
council
member.
The
last
word
I
do
see
chairman
jack
voney
in
the
audience
and
he
hasn't
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
it.
Do
you
want
anything
to
add
chairman
before
I
call
for
a
role.
S
I'll
be
extremely
brief:
randall
jacovoni,
2219
phoenix
avenue,
I'm
the
chairman
of
the
redistricting
committee
or
the
now
dissolved
redistricting
committee.
I
would
just
point
out,
I
think
the
point
that
I
just
want
to
stress
that,
but
if
you
don't
vote
for
this
essentially
because
the
state's
guidance
was
vague,
what
essentially,
would
you
are
doing
is
if
we
removed
those
people,
even
though
we
don't
have
the
ability
to
do
that,
because
the
charter
does
not
allow
us.
This
board
does
not
allow
us
to
do
that,
so
it
wasn't
even
an
option
we
had.
S
S
So
by
voting
against
this
tonight
in
a
sense,
you're
actually
you're,
putting
us
into
a
situation
that
if
we
had
done
something
different,
you
would
count
people
nowhere
and
I
think
that's
worse,
actually
I'd
rather
at
least
have
them
counted
somewhere
than
counted
nowhere.
So
that's
all
I
would
add,
but
I
appreciate
everybody's
everybody's
kind
words
about
the
process.
Really
the
between
maria
and
nick
did
a
fantastic
job
and
made
our
jobs
easier.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
yeah,
we're
really
lucky
to
have
all
of
your
hard
work
and
maria
I've.
Never
given
you
a
citation
for
retirement,
you
have
to
stay
because
you're,
the
best
gis
operator
in
the
state,
so
the
g
means
great,
so
keep
up
the
great
work
and
thank
you
very
much,
madam
clerk.
Please
take
the
role
on
three
two.
Two
three
two
two
dash.
Oh
one
s.
L
L
J
A
Yes,
motion
passes.
A
Okay,
moving
on
to
resolution
memorializing
the
general
assembly
to
enact
city
of
cranston's
22
ward,
redistricting
plan,
this
passed
in
committee
urge
passes.
We
pretty
much
just
discussed
it
in
a
motion.
B
M
L
A
Yes,
motion
passes.
Thank
you,
chairman
reilly.
That
concludes
the
business
of
the
ordinance
committee.
Moving
on
to
public
comment
for
undocketed
items,
I
know
there
are
a
couple
people
here
to
speak
tonight.
Please
come
up
one
at
a
time
name
an
address
for
the
record.
Please
limit
your
comments
to
four
minutes.
I
will
be
timing
and
get
name
and
address
for
the
record
in
four
minutes.
A
T
T
My
house
sustained
substantial
damage
from
the
fire,
both
from
what
appears
to
be
accidental
fire
fighters
directing
the
host
through
our
window,
flooding
our
first
floor,
but
also
damage
from
the
fire
itself.
All
of
our
siding,
all
of
our
roofing
needs
to
be
replaced.
We
are
going
to
my
whole
family
is
going
to
have
to
move
out.
The
contractor
expects
at
least
six
months
up
to
a
year,
while
all
of
our
things
are
put
in
storage
and
our
house
is
repaired.
T
T
T
There's
also
substantial
debris
that
went
down
the
sidewalk
and
is
going
all
the
way
down
the
street
into
the
storm
drain.
So
there
are
really
two
things
that
I've
been
asking
for
from
the
city
and
again
I
have
received
zero
phone
calls
returned
I've
called
the
mayor's
office.
I've
called
the
deputy
chief
of
staff,
I've
called
the
building
inspector.
T
T
A
They
first
of
all,
our
our
heartfelt
sympathies,
are
with
you
and
your
family,
and
thank
you
for
coming
here
to
to
tell
us
about
this.
I
will
direct
you
to
director
moretti
the
mayor's
chief
of
staff
he's
here,
so
he
can.
He
can
talk
to
you
now,
director.
A
U
Just
in
fairness,
just
the
mayor
was
at
your
house
speaking
with
your
husband.
I
know
that
so
I'm
not
quite
sure
about
a
meeting
because
he
took
the
meeting
to
your
house.
That
being
aside
sure,
we
can
arrange
you
to
put
a
claim
in
with
the
city
of
cranston
in
the
finance
department,
the
lady's
name
is
gianna
whether
you
want
to
go
to
your.
U
We
could
go
to
your
insurance
company
directly,
so
director
strom,
you
can
visit
his
department
if
you
like,
and
that
would
satisfy
that
claim,
and
it
was
very
unfortunate
that
fire,
but
thank
goodness
no
one
was
injured,
that
we
have.
The
place
will
be
demolished
next
door.
There's
legal
proceedings
that
had
to
take
place
and
offenses,
as
you
probably
realize,
has
been
put
around
the
perimeter
to
secure
it
and
the
old
debris
has
been
swept
up.
A
U
We'll
have
direct
we'll,
have
deputy
macaulay,
give
you
a
call
or
your
husband,
whoever
you
prefer,
because
I
know
that
was
but
I'll.
T
I
mean
I
I'm
very
happy
to
meet
with
you
all.
I
think
that
is
a
great
first
step.
I
I
just
really
do
want
to
emphasize
the
fact
that
the
level
of
customer
service
that
is
happening
is
so
abysmally
low
that
I
I
can't
believe
that
I
haven't
gotten
return
phone
calls
and
I'm
somebody
who
understands
this
system.
I've
worked
in
municipal
government
and
I
just
kind
of
my
heart
goes
out
for
people
who
don't
know
how
to
navigate
this
system,
and
it's
just
it's
very
disappointing
to
see
this
level
of
service
and
we'll.
U
T
N
I
live
at
50,
malvern
avenue
in
cranston
and
before
I
start
my
remarks,
I
would
like
to
read
from
the
reliant
general
laws.
3614
one
pertaining
to
code
of
ethics
is
the
policy
of
the
state
of
rhode
island
that
public
officials
and
employees
must
adhere
to
the
highest
standards
of
ethical
conduct,
respect
the
public,
trust
and
the
rights
of
all
persons,
be
open,
accountable
and
responsive,
avoid
the
appearance
of
impropriety
and
not
use
their
position
for
private
gain
or
advantage.
N
This
is
the
radiation
emitted
from
so-called
small
cell
antennas
for
5g,
on
utility
light
poles
in
front
of
people's
homes
and
also
from
smart
meters
that
measure
electric
gas
and
water
usage.
We
are
not
opposed
to
technology.
Far
from
it,
we
object
to
wireless
radiation,
which
causes
harm
to
humans,
flora,
fauna
and
the
environment.
N
N
Our
group,
5g
free
rhode
island,
was
permitted
to
provide
an
hour-long
presentation
to
the
august
24
2020
cranston
city
council
meeting.
Unfortunately,
there
was
no
follow-up
after
the
election
that
fall.
The
makeup
of
the
cranston
city
council
changed
claire,
and
I
have
continued
to
update
the
council
on
significant
developments
such
as
a
landmark
lawsuit
against
the
fcc,
but
there
has
still
been
no
response.
N
H
Steve
fry's,
107
garden
hills
drive,
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
proper
to
talk
about
this,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
it's
like.
I
want
to
thank
the
council
for
approving
what
the
work
of
the
redistricting
commission
did
just
now.
All
you
who
voted
for
should
be
commended.
I
was
very
glad
to
see
the
ordinance
committee
voted
for
unanimously
and
the
last
thing
I
wanted
to
say
I'm
not
to
repeat
myself
from
the
ordinance
committee.
H
I
want
to
particularly
commend
those
who
voted
for
this
ordinance,
who
did
so
not
because
they
agree
with
everything
in
it,
but
because
they
follow
the
law,
I'm
on
the
planning
board,
and
sometimes
I
have
to
make
decisions
as
I
was
on
the
when
I
was
the
public
utilities
commission
as
general
counsel.
Sometimes
you
got
to
make
decisions
not
because
you
like
it,
but
because
you're
following
the
law,
because
the
alternative
is
to
engage
in
political
expediency
and
just
create
chaos.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
member
councilwoman
mourinho,
who
did
so?
H
V
I
should
have
used
my
opera
voice.
Excuse
me,
I
am
an
opera
singer,
and
so
I
told
you
I
don't
like
reading
about
microwave
radiation,
but
in
addition
to
this
gift
that
sheila
and
I
have
compiled,
so
you
can
avail
yourselves
of
the
information
we've
kept
abreast
the
last
two
years.
I
have
good
news
that
I'm
going
to
share
with
you.
V
It
is
really
good
news
in
the
arena
of
microwave
radiation,
verizon
a
t
and
others
started
offering
new
c-band
wireless
at
frequencies
in
january
2022,
with
upgrades
to
existing
wireless
telecommunications
facilities,
wtf's
expected
to
continue
over
the
next
few
years,
so
the
big
lie
has
been
fully
exposed.
The
lie
that
alleged
that
4g
5g
so-called
small
wireless
telecommunications
facilities
needed
to
be
installed
on
utility
poles
in
front
of
your
bedroom
or
my
bedroom.
V
That
can
now
be
ignored
because
now
they're
using
c-band
as
their
waves
for
5g,
so
they
the
whole
idea
that
it
had
to
be
installed
on
the
very
dangerous
antenna
outside
someone's
bedroom.
That
is,
is
no
longer
poof
gone
t-mobile.
In
addition
to
its
much
hyped,
600
megahertz
service
has
expanded
its
5g
mid-band
service
at
frequencies,
around
2500
microhertz
spectrum,
blah
blah.
None
of
the
infrastructure
antennas
for
these
frequencies
need
to
be
installed
on
utility
poles
in
front
of
homes.
V
All
three
cellular
carriers
are
attempting
to
still
expand
their
millimeter
wave
antenna
infrastructure.
But
cities
will
make
a
metaphor
since
we
had
basketball
tonight,
cities
that
know
how
to
skate
to
where
the
puck
will
be
are
shutting
down.
Such
hazardous
wtf
applications
to
deliver
actual
public
safety
to
their
residents.
V
In
closing,
I
can
provide
this
in
the
booklet,
but
I'll
just
add
one
more
thing
here.
All
three
u.s
carriers
have
repurposed.
Three
four
excuse
me:
3g
4g
frequencies
for
their
low
band
and
mid-band
so-called
5g
nationwide
service,
which
is
anything
but
all
speed.
Tests
to
date
of
broadly
available
service
show
that
actual
4g
speeds
exceed
actual
5g
speeds.
And
of
course,
you
know
that
sheila
and
I
have
been
presenting
a
number
of
times
about
how
fiber
to
the
premises
is
the
way
to
go.
V
V
D
Vin
mcchrystal,
65
stage,
drive
hello,
everyone.
You
may
remember
me
from
back
in
november,
when
the
council
voted
seven
to
two
to
defeat.
A
proposal
by
a
developer
named
casao
to
have
sage
drive
the
zoning
change
from
a80
to
820,
which
was
two
acres
to
a
half
acre.
I've
been
talking
to
councilman
campobiano.
D
D
Over
a
dozen
times
through
the
years,
we've
been
battling
this
for
over
a
decade,
and
you
know
the
mistakes
that
were
made
back
in
2010
and
the
comprehensive
plan
which
we
all
know
has
expired.
I
think
we
should
remove
these
properties
from
that
comprehensive
plan.
I
did
contact
jason
pazzullo.
I
asked
him.
How
do
I
get
this
done
and
he
said
to
me
that
the
comprehensive
plan
amendment
it
would
be
done
through
an
amendment
many
cities
and
towns
do
amendments.
D
We
would
have
to
work
through
the
city
council
to
submit
an
ordinance
that
would
amend
the
comprehensive
plan
and
that's
what
I'm
here
tonight
to
ask
to
have
done.
I'd
like
to
have
the
city
council
come
up
with
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
comprehensive
plan
to
take
the
sage,
drive,
property
and
two
other
properties
which
we've
had
to
testify
on
over
the
years
out
of
the
comprehensive
plan
from
2010.
A
Any
other
public
comment
from
the
gallery
that
hasn't
spoken.
Yet,
okay,.
I
All
right
good
evening
once
again,
council
president
members
of
council-
I
just
want
to
let
the
emergency
council
know
and
sincerely
anybody
else.
President,
we
do
have
a
number
of
maps
available
that
we're
only
keeping
one
or
so
of
each
for
the
record
and
the
rest
will
be
discarded
or
recycled.
So
if
anyone
would
like
a
copy
of
those
maps,
I
can
make
them
available
to
you
here
tonight.
I
Otherwise,
our
office
will
be
charging
five
dollars
per
map
for
any
resident
or
or
candidate.
That
would
like
one
in
the
next
few
weeks.
I
A
A
Okay,
thank
you.
I
will
close
public
comment
for
undocumented
items.
Moving
on
to
elections
and
or
appointments
of
city
officials,
we
have
the
appointment
of
julie,
messenger
for
a
term
to
expire
january,
2nd
2023
sponsored
by
council
member
donegan.
This
is
an
appointment
to
the
small
business
advisory
committee.
This
is
informational.
Only
no
vote
will
be
taken
report
of
city
officers.
I
see
none
moving
on
to
executive
communications.
We
have
the
legal
fees
report
from
july
to
march
and
there
are
any
questions
from
council
members
to
the
administration
on
the
legal
fees
report.
A
I
see
none
moving
on
to
council
president
communications.
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
wish
everybody
a
happy,
easter
and
passover
coming
up
before
that
as
a
full
council.
Certainly,
we
have
a
busy
month
coming
up
with
the
budget
schedule
and
such
and
probably
be
here
every
other
night
through
for
the
next
six
weeks,
starting
very
shortly.
A
The
mayor's
budget
address
is
on
friday
april
1st,
so
please
mark
that
on
your
calendar,
certainly
like
to
also
send
our
thoughts
and
prayers
to
those
in
ukraine.
I
was
hoping
since
last
month.
Things
would
change
and
get
better,
but
it
seems
like
it
hasn't
it's
gotten
worse,
so
I'm
certainly
on
behalf
of
the
entire
council,
extend
our
thoughts
and
prayers
to
the
country
of
ukraine.
A
That
being
said,
it's
not
on
the
agenda,
but
I'd
like
to
briefly
ask
direct
them
already.
If
you
don't
have
any
information,
that's
fine,
any
news
on
the
knightsville
project
or
redevelopment
or
the
park,
if
not
I'll,
just
punt,
that
to
the
next
public
works
committee
agenda.
Just
looking
to
pick
your
brain
for
a
second
yeah.
U
Sure
thing
lemay's
next
project,
if
you
will,
is
the
knightsville
project
after
rolf
square
parts
of
villages,
wrapping
up
with
some
lighting
in
fact
should
be
installed
very
soon.
That
should
wrap
that
up,
I
think
very
soon.
Now
we
have
to
get
warlock
to
take
care
of
that
with
get
after
pacosi
as
to
knightsville.
U
As
you
know,
the
bay
had
a
concept
actually
council
president
had
a
nice
concept
about
the
cola
pocket
park
and
last
year
the
may
wants
to
look
into
the
feasibility
and
to
see
if
that
program
would
come
into
existence
and
that
basically
being
expand
where
the
gazebo
area
is
over,
that
mound
and
the
entire
land
in
the
back
there,
where
people
use
it
for
parking
part
of
the
st
mary's
feast
uses
that
to
expand
that
whole
thing
to
make
a
a
park
out
of
it.
U
Well,
that
concept
got
expanded
into
thinking
of
an
entire
district.
Revitalization,
particularly
with
the
number
of
businesses
there
number
of
restaurants
there,
and
I
think
the
mayor
envisions
knightsville
as
being
the
next
best
thing
or
the
best
thing
since
federal
hill,
as
you
know
so
many
restaurants
in
that
area.
U
So
many
small
businesses,
so
he
asked
the
director
mason
to
come
up
with
some
concepts
and,
as
you
might
remember,
when
at
the
at
the
event,
at
the
gazebo
last
october,
when
speaker
shakati
presented
the
check
for
ten
thousand
dollars
that
we
invited
the
council,
along
with
the
public
to
to
we
had
initial
plans
laid
out
to
see
what
that
redistricting
would
look
like
that.
An
average
product
renovation
would
look
like
and
that
concept
was
introduced.
U
Input
was
received.
Director
mason
went
back
and
incorporated
the
that
input,
along
with
businesses
along
cranston
street,
where
director
paulino
solicited
input
and
so
they're
finalizing
some
engineering
plans
for
the
area
in
which
it
really
entails.
An
rfp
will
be
going
out
for
street
streetscaping
that
being
from
I'll,
say
from
randall
street
right
through
I'll,
say
the
center.
U
The
spoke
there
of
knightsville
with
cranston
street
phoenix
avenue
and
park
avenue
meet
extending
a
little
bit
further
to
verveena
street
green
avenue
and
down
to
a
little
past
the
marchetti's
area
on
park
avenue
this
and
that
streetscaping
really
entails
a
new
trees
that
are
basically
diseased.
Just
what
every
tree
is
is
diseased.
It
was
determined
by
the
arborist
new
lantern
lighting
and
stamped
concrete
sidewalks.
U
So
hopefully
that's
gonna,
give
it
a
nice
new
look
and
as
part
of
the
I
don't
know
if
the
exact
terminology,
but
a
supplemental
bid
will
be
going
in
for
the
pocket
park
depending
on
funding
to
to
make
that.
Basically,
as
we
mentioned,
expand
it
put
a
butcher,
cart
in
there
there's
a
pergola
more
of
an
inviting
area
to
have
concerts
that
type
of
thing.
So
that's
on
the
on
the
on
the
docket.
U
If
you
will
and
we'll
see
what
the
bids
come
in
at
and
if
everything
works
out,
we'd
be
looking
at
mid-july
after
the
feast
to
to
break
ground
with
everything
in
order
and
then
and
now
we'll
be
sharing
that
you
know
will
be
a
financing
proposal
to
the
council
very
soon.
A
A
Okay,
moving
on
to
council
member
communications,
we
have
communications
here
from
council.
Vice
president
ferry
I'd.
Ask
that
this
remain
on
the
docket
until
next
month,
when
council,
vice
president
is
here,
just
want
to
say
that
all
of
our
thoughts
and
prayers
are
with
council
vice
president
and
we'll
continue
to
keep
him
in
our
thoughts
and
prayers
and
we'll
see
him
shortly
and
wish
him
and
his
family
the
best.
R
The
item
this
evening
and
status
of
the
city's
acknowledgement
and
approval
signature
of
the
baseline
documentation
report
for
the
night
conservation
land
as
overseen
by
the
west
bay
land
trust
a
couple
of
members
of
the
west
bay
land
trust
reached
out
to
me,
I'm
stating
that
they
were
seeking
the
approval
signature
on
the
baseline
documentation
report,
which
was
required
for
them
to
file
with,
I
believe,
dem
and
I
put
on
this
evening.
I
also
spoke
with
director
moretti
just
as
recent
as
today
about
this.
R
U
Yes,
thank
you
thanks
for
calling
us
to
our
attention
to
my
knowledge
to
that.
We
very
much
appreciate
you
sending
along
that
documents.
135
pages.
This
is
the
first
of
the
first
page
of
it.
So
I've
sent
this
along
to
planning
director
pazulo
and
he
he
just
he'll
be
looking
into
it.
I
think
he'll
do
it
pretty
expeditiously
within
a
week
or
two
more
than
likely,
he
gave
it
a
quick
blush
just
giving
a
little
update
and
he
thought
it
looked
pretty
comprehensive
and
it
was
a
good
job.
U
We
did
notice,
it
was
dated
2016.,
just
gotta.
You
know
obviously
just
to
give
a
sanity
check
to
that,
but
he
thought
the
document
appeared
in
good
order
go
to
parents.
He
does
have
some
questions
in
terms
of
who
you
know
assigned
us.
Who
is
it
really?
You
know
going
to?
What's
it
used
for
that
type
of
thing,
but
at
first
blush
it
looks
like
it's
a
nice
shape
and
he
thinks
possibly
even
by
the
end
of
this
week.
U
But
let's
say,
let's
say
by
the
end
of
next
week:
he'll
give
his
recommendation
with
that.
The
mayor
can
sign
off.
A
Thing
and
not
councilmember
mourinho,
that
west
bay
land
trust
they
need
any
service
projects.
I
got
a
lot
of
boy
scouts
in
the
troop
that
needs
service
hours,
pass
it
along.
R
A
Yeah
they'll
be
happy
to
get
some
people
out
there
to
help
great
thanks.
Thank
you.
Okay.
Moving
on
to
council
member
communications,
anybody
have
anything
to
to
add
before
I
close
out
this
section.
M
M
M
We
hope
that
you
can
actually
take
that
survey
and
for
anyone
who
hasn't
shared
that
we
hope
that
you
can
share
it
on
your
end,
as
well,
with
with
your
network
with
your
constituency
as
well,
in
hopes
that
we
get
more
survey
response
and
then
eventually
have
all
those
responses
shared
with
with
all
of
us.
So
I
have
to
say
that
the
latino
policy
institute
actually
had
reached
out
in
hopes
as
to
how
the
survey
was
going,
and
I
asked
them
to
please
share
it
if
at
all
possible.
M
A
A
I
see
none,
madame
clerk,
you
please
take
the
role.
B
L
A
Yes,
city
council's
next
regular
monthly
meeting
will
be
held
on
april
25th
2022..
Thank
you
very
much
everyone.
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn
motion.
