Now
it
is
there
we
go
rita,
lavoy,
47,
mary
now,
south
I'm
on
the
docket
tonight,
with
along
with
my
husband
isaac.
Lavoy.
Last
time
I
came
before
you
was
in
the
spring,
at
a
city
council
meeting,
we
had
damage
to
our
house
as
a
result
of
a
fire
at
the
house
next
door
and
at
that
meeting
I
was
encouraged
by
the
finance
director
to
put
in
a
claim.
So
that's
why
it
is
before
you
and
now
I
understand
it's
taken
a
little
bit
of
time
because
of
recesses
in
the
summer.
D
So
I
just
wanted
to
just
give
a
quick
kind
of
recap
of
what
our
experience
was,
so
that
when
you're
reading
through
the
claims
documents,
you
understand
exactly
what
happened.
The
house
next
door
to
us
was
abandoned
for
30
years
and
has
been
in
disrepair
and
had
numerous
zoning
and
building
violations
against
it
and
over
time
it
deteriorated
to
the
point
where
there
was
a
fire
that
ignited
the
cause
was
determined
as
a
little
inconclusive.
D
Perhaps
animal
damage,
perhaps
some
other
electrical
issue,
but
in
the
fighting
of
the
fire,
the
department,
either
perhaps
deliberately
or
perhaps
by
accident,
directed
the
fire
hose
instead
of
at
that
house,
that
was
on
fire
into
our
first
floor
window
and
the
high
pressure
hose
flooded
our
entire
first
floor.
Our
entire
first
floor
had
to
be
ripped
up
and
removed.
D
We're
still
that
not
back
at
our
house,
we've
been
in
a
rental
in
warwick
for
almost
seven
months
now,
as
if
the
repairs
are
going
up
through
there's
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
worth
of
damage,
and
it's
really
not
clear
why
the
fire
department
would
ever
direct
the
fire
hose
through
a
window.
It
was
probably
only
momentarily.
I
would
assume
that
maybe
they
lost
control.
D
I
don't
really
know
it
wasn't
noted
in
the
fire
report
at
all,
but
the
damage
caused
enough
flooding
that
it
came
through
our
first
floor
and
through
the
subfloor
and
into
our
basement.
So
as
a
result,
the
entire
first
floor
needed
to
be
ripped
up
all
the
kitchen.
All
the
walls
were
damaged.
There
was
smoke
damage
that
came
in
through
the
open
window.
D
It
actually
arced
over
the
house
that
was
on
fire
and
into
our
yard,
and
was
it's
a
high-pressure
hose
as
they
were
trying
to
get
into
the
house
that
was
on
fire
and
they
missed
and
hit
our
backyard,
and
there
was
an
18-inch
gouge,
where
the
high-pressure
hose
just
dug
out
a
huge
section
of
our
yard.
So
we
had
significant
damage
and
obviously
with
contractor
delays,
we're
still
in
the
midst
of
repairs
and
dislocated
and
we're
hoping
to
be
back
in
our
house
by
january.
D
That's
sort
of
my
goal,
but
I'm
here
before
you
just
to
kind
of
explain
my
story
and
why
we're
here
so
we
were
encouraged
to
put
in
a
claim
with
the
city.
Obviously,
our
insurance
is
taking
care
of
a
lot
of
it,
but
we
just,
but
we
do
have
a
five
thousand
dollar
deductible
on
our
insurance
and
that's
was
the
amount
that
we
put
in
for
the
city,
that's
where
that
amount
comes
from,
and
you
have
copies
of
the
insurance
reports
and
the
fire
report
as
well.
A
G
A
Out
of
executive
session
and
votes
were
taken,
I
will
now
entertain
a
motion
to
seal
the
minutes,
so
moved.
Second,
any
discussion
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
say
aye
hi
with
no
further
business
before
us
this
evening.
We,
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn
the
claims
committee
meeting
so
moved.
Second
again,
any
discussion
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
eyes
have
it.
We
are
adjourned.
C
E
C
C
Like
state,
I
just
want
to
state
for
the
record
that
council
member
mourinho
is
here,
and
we
do
have
a
quorum
all
right,
so
getting
back
to
the
business
council
vice
president
ferry-
we're
not
being
here
this
evening
has
an
excused
absence
and
I
believe
council
member
renzuli
is
running
a
few
minutes
late
and
should
be
here
moving
on
to
public
hearings
in
our
new
business.
Is
there
anybody
here
from
the
public
who
would
like
to
give
any
testimony
on
any
of
the
matters
before
the
public
works
committee
this
evening?
C
H
H
C
C
G
I
C
A
Thank
you.
Excuse
me.
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
know
this
was
continued
from
the
the
august
meeting.
I
guess
it's
more
broadly.
You
know
going
back
to
a
previous
conversation.
We
we
had
here
in
committee
about
any
sort
of
proactive
measures
we
can
take
as
a
city
to
reduce
speed
and
and
traffic.
A
You
know,
I
know
that.
Maybe
two
years
ago,
during
a
budget
there
were
funds
approved
for
traffic
calming
measures
on
pepper
milling.
I
think
it
was
I'm
trying
to
remember
that
councilman
brady
had
brought
forward.
So
I'm
wondering
you
know
especially
laurel
hill
avenue.
I
know
cranston
and
dyer
are
coming
up
as
well.
You
know
what
can
we
do
to
slow
traffic
down
and
make
those
streets
safer?
For
you
know
not
just
vehicular
traffic
but
pedestrians,
people
on
on
bicycles
or
or
anywhere
in
between.
C
Thank
you,
councilmember,
and
I
think
the
street
you
might
be
referring
to
was
peverell
and
I
don't
think
some
of
the
neighbors
like
what
they
did
now.
I'm
not
sure
those
bump
outs
are
working
but
directed
you
have
any
insight
or
any
suggestions,
or
I
mean.
Obviously,
we
can
of
course
always
request
the
police
to
come
out
and
do
some
enforcement,
which
we
can
do
with
an
email
to
the
administration.
But
director.
J
J
J
The
the
I'll,
probably
say
it
every
month
that
I'm
up
here,
the
littering
the
rodent
control
and
speeding
are
not
civil
engineering
issues
that
public
works
can
really
address
the
social
engineering
issues.
We
need
to
have
people
stop
following
the
rules.
I
I
see
it
being
out
on
the
roads.
They
will
stop.
They
will
slow
down
on
broad
street
some,
don't
even
so.
I'm
trying
to
see
exactly
how
high
the
number
will
go
on
broad
street
and
500
feet
later
they're
acting
the
same
way
because
they
did
not
get
hit
in
the
wallet.
A
J
J
J
A
I'll
just
add
on,
I
know
it's
it's
slightly.
There's
I
want
to
mention
about
diorav,
but
to
the
topic
of
the
speed
cameras,
the
neighbors
that
I've
talked
to
specifically
about
speed
crammers
on
on
harmon
avenue
in
the
school
zone
of
of
of
stadium.
You
know,
they've
all
said
unanimously
put
them
up,
but
so
thank
you
director
to
the
the
the
next
point
on
traffic
calming
for
for
dyer.
A
Specifically
to
that,
I
don't
know
if
this
might
be
a
question
for
solicitor
verdeckia
on
on
cranston
street
next
to
devon
manor.
There
is
a
pedestrian
activated,
light
to
cross
in
a
crossing
walk,
and
that
makes
sense
because
there's
a
you
know
highly
dense.
You
know
large
population
of
people
right
there
that
need
to
get
across
cranston
street
on
dyer
avenue,
which
is
wider
to
my
knowledge.
At
that
point
at
the
river
bend
apartments,
I
think
it's
9
55.
A
Maybe
there
is
a
there
is
not
a
pedestrian
activated
and
a
woman
was
unfortunately
killed.
I
think
last
year,
and
so
I'm
wondering
it
does
it
take
an
ordinance
to
get
a
pedestrian
activated
light
put
there.
Or
is
that
something
that
we
can
do
administratively,
because
that
is
there's
a
lot
of
kids
that
live
there
that
have
to
cross
to
go
to
if
they're,
going
up
to
gladstone
or
arlington
and
just
to
or
or
just
to
access
the
neighborhood
over
there?
Is
that
something
that
we
can
do,
because
I
think
it
is
needed.
K
Yeah,
I
think
that
that
is
probably
more
an
administrative
function.
I
don't
think
an
ordinance
is
necessarily
needed
for
that.
There's
already
a
crosswalk
there.
I
know
the
one
you're
referring
to,
and
I
mean
under
state
law,
whether
there's
a
a
pole,
a
an
electronic
light
or
anything
like
that.
State
law
requires
that
when
there's
a
cross
walk
traffic
has
to
stop
if
someone
is
trying
to
cross.
K
A
L
A
L
A
A
A
A
There
is
it's
difficult
to
to
to
describe
this
without
a
visual
which
I
don't
have
on
crescent
avenue
directly
across
from
stadium
school.
There
is
a
couple
who
own
77
crescent
and
there
is
a
utility
pole,
quite
literally
in
the
middle
of
their
driveway,
in
the
middle
of
their
driveway,
the
point
where
they
had
to
kind
of
recon
them
and
their
neighbor
had
to
collaboratively
reconfigure.
A
The
neighbor's
retaining
wall
take
part
of
it
out,
pave
you
know,
take
some
of
the
grass
in
their
little
kind
of
side
and
pave
that
that
way,
the
cars
could
get
around
the
neighbor,
who
you
know
does
not
own
77
crescent.
She
is
elderly
and
it
is
becoming
increasingly
difficult
for
her
to
maneuver,
leaving
the
driveway
they
had.
A
We
had
actually
approved
this
or
not.
We
members
of
the
public
works
committee
had
approved
this
poll
move
move
last
month
or
two
months
ago,
and
then
the
resident
received
word
that
they
would
be
financially
responsible
for
paying
the
cost
of
that
poll
being
moved,
which
I
think
it
came
to
what
they
had
been
told,
was
roughly
two
thousand
dollars
and
then
they,
but
they
had
also
expected
that
the
you
know,
cable
company
or
whatnot
would
also
charge
them
for
having
to
move
the
wires.
A
I
don't
know
what
we
can
do
but-
and
I
don't
know
if
that's
standard
practice,
but
it
is
ridiculous
that
they're
having
to
be
hit
with
that
bill
and
and
it
won't
be
moved
unless
they
pay
it.
Despite
us,
the
the
company
national
grid
bringing
that
before
us,
so
I'm
wondering
what
we
can
do
and
sorry
for
the
kind
of
long-winded
background.
C
C
J
Public
works
committee
approved
the
relocation
of
the
poll.
It
was
a
request
from
the
property
owner
to
national
grid.
National
grid
has
to
request
the
approval
of
the
relocation
of
the
poll.
Under
those
circumstances,
on
any
poll
does
the
city
of
cranston
pay
for
relocation
or
the
installation
of
new
polls.
The
the
poll
obviously
was
there.
I
don't
know
if
it
precedes
the
driveways,
but
this
is
a
private
matter
between
a
a
resident
and
a
utility
company.
This.
This
does
not
affect
the
city
of
granston.
C
C
G
Through
the
chair,
I
would
just
have
a
suggestion.
You
know
we're
all
in
this
together,
whether
you're
a
public
utility,
a
neighbor,
a
city
council,
whatever
it
is,
so
we're
all
expected
to
act,
how
we
want
others
to
act
around
us.
So
if
they're
not
going
to
be
helpful
to
our
residents
well,
they
do
put
a
lot
of
requests
to
put
things
up
before
us,
so
if
that
until
they
do
right
by
the
neighbors,
maybe
we
have
a
slave
moratorium
or
look
at
these
a
little
more
closer.
G
Some
of
these
requests
that
they
have,
because,
honestly,
there
are
utility
poles
everywhere
down
sarkanasik
down
pontiac
they're
starting
to
become
eyesores.
But
if
they're
not
going
to
do
the
right
thing
by
our
residents,
then
perhaps
we
take
a
little
closer
look
at
some
of
these
telephone
poles
that
they're
going
to
be
coming
up
in
the
future.
J
G
I
completely
understand
directive,
but,
like
my
colleague,
I
really
have
very
little
sympathy
for
the
utility
companies
and
what
the
puc
allows
them
to
do
and
how
they
allow
them
to
just
you
know,
take
over
and
do
whatever
they
want
to
the
residents
of
the
state.
So
I
I
would
like
them
to
to
work
with
them.
Rather
than
just
say
it's
on
the
neighbors.
M
Yeah,
so
so
can
we
suggest
that,
if
we're
all
in
agreement
a
letter,
perhaps
on
our
behalf,
maybe
from
the
chair
of
the
public
works
director,
sorry
public
works
committee
along
with
or
a
letter
from
the
administration,
just
letting
them
know
about
today's
meeting.
What
was
brought
up
before
us
and
the
fact
that
we
are
asking
or
here
to
work
with
you
in
hopes
that
that
is
looked
at.
M
It
may
carry
a
little
bit
more
also
of
weight,
not
that
one
person
doesn't
carry
weight
in
here,
but
more
so
as
a
unified
voice
to
the
to
to
the
company
to
the
national
grid,
where
it
is
resource,
the
new
name.
I
forgot
their
name
now,
but
they
also
even
have
like
signs
on
that
poll
and
everything.
So
my
assumption
is
that
it's
there,
because
people
have
been
parking
could
have
been
an
easement
as
well.
M
I
don't
know
whose
car
that
is
who's
who
it
belongs
to,
but
that's
that's
the
least
of
the
matter,
but
I
think
a
letter
coming
from
the
city,
maybe
better.
I
know
some
other
station
towns
have
done
that
when
they
send
a
letter
to
an
organization
or
a
company.
I
don't
know
if
that's
something
that
you.
J
I
think
it's
a
good
next
step,
we're
trying
to
at
least
try
to
help
out
the
resident
in
cranston,
but
again
I'm
just
throwing
up
the
red
flag
that
you
know
they
have
guidelines
that
they
have
to
follow
too,
and
this
relocating
of
utility
poles
because
of
personal
interest,
is
something
that
we
have
not
gotten
involved
with,
because
it's
more
of
an
issue
between
the
utility
company
and
the
resident
so
we'll
be
setting
a
precedent
of
getting
involved
with.
You
know
a
personal
matter
between
that
that
we
normally
don't
get
involved
with.
M
That
gun,
but
they
rent
the
space.
How
does
that
work
in
terms
of
legislation
with
us
in
terms
of
it's
a
sidewalk?
The
sidewalk
is
partially
owned
by
an
owner
in
the
city.
Right,
it's
it's,
but
it's
so
at
what
point
can
we
actually
just
do
the
you
know
friendly
letter
as
a
start
to
say,
hey
we're
here
to
work
with
you?
Oh.
J
No,
I
I'm
not
disagreeing.
I
I
think
that
it's
a
good
idea,
but
unfortunately
you
know
where
we
start
to
get
into
that
practice
where
we
normally
don't
get
involved
with.
You
know
when
this
happens
quite
a
bit.
There
are
cases
where
residents
will
ask
the
utility
company
to
move
a
poll
for
a
particular
reason
and
we've
never
gotten
involved
with
it
before,
because
we,
the
only
part
that
we'll
get
involved
with,
is
when
rhode,
island
energy
sends
us.
J
The
request
for
relocated
poll
we'll
go
out
to
make
sure
it's
not
going
to
be
a
problem
within
the
city's
right-of-way
for
pedestrians
in
for
vehicular
traffic,
but
we
don't
get
involved
with
the
reason
for
the
pole.
Moving
is
because
a
resident
wants
to
take
it
out
of
one
place
and
put
it
to
another.
M
Okay,
fair
enough
and
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
even
worth
it
having
them,
come
here
before
us
and
explain
to
us
the
actual
process
of
putting
up
a
poll
or
not
for
a
poll
101.
I
guess
you
know
lack
of
purposes,
but
I
mean
I
would
you
know
defer
to
the
council
member,
but
I
think
having
at
least
a
letter
or
something
and
could
be
that
for
that
we
are
trying
or
you're
trying.
That
would
be
at
least
one
way
to
go
about
it.
C
Counselor,
it
might
be
nice
for
you
to
send
a
letter
on
europe.
You
have
to.
We
obviously
have
our
own
letterhead
that
maybe
loop
in
a
state
rep
or
a
state
senator
for
the
area
too,
if
they're
interested
in
helping
you
know
if
they
get
enough
letters,
you
know
it
might
help.
Council,
member
jermaine.
N
N
N
So
if
it's
the
owner
of
the
house
who
is
responsible
of
the
sidewalk,
so
there
is
no
problem
to
ask
someone
to
get
out
of
my
property,
but
if
it's
not
the
owner,
who
is
responsible
of
the
sidewalk,
not
the
owner
of
the
sidewalk
is
the
city.
The
city
has
an
obligation
to
make
sure
their
residents
are
safe
in
any
ways.
N
N
So
that's
my
point,
so
I
think,
as
the
responsible,
the
public
works
on
behalf
of
the
city,
you
have
the
authority
to
tell
energy
to
remove
the
spirits.
It's
not
a
matter.
A
personal.
This
is,
is
a
matter
of
safety
of
the
resident
living
there
quality
of
life.
Why
a
person
need
to
get
out
on
his
driveway
and
have
to
have
this
burden?
N
This
is
our
job
to
make
sure
that
everyone
live
in
the
house
live
the
quality
of
life
without
a
burden.
That's
what
we
are
here
for.
So
I
don't
think
it's
a
matter
of
personal
that
a
resident
wants
something
he
needs
to
be
removed
and
if
it's
in
the
property
of
the
city,
the
city
have
the
authority.
C
J
We're
still
making
progress
with
the
time
for
a
call
and
receiving
back
the
indemnification
form
to
an
appointment
varies
depending
upon
the
district
that
it's
in,
because
what
we
try
to
do
is
we
have
one
rodent
control
officer,
so
we
try
to
keep
them
in
quadrants
of
the
city
per
day,
but
it's
good.
It's
come
way
down.
They're
also
been
a
reduction
in
their
requests.
J
J
Nobody,
no
bird,
is
going
to
eat
that
I'll,
tell
you
what
is
and
that's
the
same
problem.
So
again,
just
like
the
speeding
issue.
This
is
a
social
engineering
issue.
We
have
to
do
something
where
people
start
taking
care
of
the
bird
feeders.
The
bird
baths
compost,
animal
waste,
animal
wastes
a
huge
one,
logs
chickens,
roosters,
grape
vines,
fruit,
trees.
J
I'm
not,
as
I
said
in
july,
I'm
not
going
to
ask
this
council
or
the
administration
for
another
penny
or
another
staffer,
because
until
human
behavior
changes
we'd
be
throwing
good
money
after
bad.
But
we
are,
we
are
getting
out
to
everybody.
We've
got
a
much
better
program
than
providence
in
west
warwick.
West
work
has
none,
providence
will
do
a
baiting
if
it
doesn't
work
you're
on
your
own
and
we're
going
out
there
and
we're
rebating.
J
A
So,
thank
you,
director
and
it's
good
to
hear
that
the
the
I
guess
wait
time
has
come
down.
I
know
that
the
ronin
control
officer
is
working,
works
very
hard
and
and
it's
it's
appreciated
and
as
as
well
to
the
to
the
administration
and
specifically
gina
in
constituent
affairs.
She
she
has
been
very
responsive
as
as
I've
sent
in
probably
more
wrote
in
requests
than
she
cares
for
me
to
to
do
so.
So
thank
you
to
her
for
that
one
question.
A
So
I'm
wondering
and
then
beyond
that
are
there
ways
that
we
can
streamline
this,
where
the
indemnification
form
is
available
online
to
download
and
submit
electronically.
That
would
cut
down
on
needing
to
call
get
the
letter
sent
to
you.
Have
it
and
then
sending
it
back
if
it
could
just
be
downloaded
online
and
resubmitted,
it
would
free
up
time
for
the
road
and
control
officer,
as
well
as
streamline
the
process
for
residents.
Seeking
this,
you
know
vital
city
service.
J
Councilman,
while
that
sounds
good,
I
would
highly
recommend
against
that
we're
dealing
with
poison
and
we're
dealing
with
rules
from
dem.
The
reason
why
we
have
the
systems
in
place
is
to
make
sure
that
the
legal
property
owner
is
the
one
that
send
that's
authorizing
access
to
that
property.
We
are
audited
by
dem
the
the
process
is
not
onerous
a
phone
call
anytime.
During
the
day
you
don't
even
deal
with
the
rodent
control
officer.
You
deal
with
one
of
four
people
downstairs
on
the
staff.
J
Every
one
of
those
people
downstairs
the
clerk
and
every
one
of
the
engineers
knows
how
to
take
that
information.
When
a
request
comes
in
the
indemnification
form
goes
out
that
night,
the
biggest
the
biggest
in
the
is
getting
informed
back.
There
are
some
times
where
the
forms
don't
come
back
for
a
month,
but
the
form
goes
out
that
night
as
quick
as
we
get
that
form
back,
that
that
application
is
put
in
the
schedule
for
the
next
available
appointment.
J
So
we
are
dealing
with
poison.
We
have
to
protect
the
city,
so
it
has
to
be
the
property
owner
and
we
do
ch.
We
do
when
we
have
the
conversation.
We
have
the
conversation
with
the
person.
That's
calling
in
and
we've
verified
that
that
person
is
the
property
owner,
so
we'd
rather
not
take
a
chance.
That's
why
we
don't
hand
the
forms
out
to
be
here
and
delivered
to
a
bunch
of
people.
We
have
to
track
those
forms
and
we
have
to
be
able
to
be
audited
by
dem
periodically.
A
So
I
I
guess
I'll
I'll
concede
without
any
more
substantial
research
on
my
own
part
about
the
the
need
for
the
property
owner
to
to
sign
it.
I
still,
I
guess
I
still
that
doesn't
necessarily
answer
why
a
lan
a
tenant
couldn't
request
it
that
way
they
have
it
and
it
and
for
it
to
be
signed
by
the
landlord.
A
They
just
won't
call
I've
kept
asking
them
to
make
the
call
they
won't
call,
but
they
said
that
they
would
sign
it.
So
if
you
could
get
me,
the
form
he's
coming
to
pick
up
the
check
on
friday,
he'll
sign
it
that
didn't
happen,
and
they
can't
you
know
they
can't
access
the
service.
So
why
can't
a
rental
tenant
request
the
form
and
get
it
signed
by
the
landlord.
J
Because
that's
our
checks
and
balances
to
make
sure
that
that
that
tenant
is
in
fact
telling
the
truth
and
that's
what
we
have
to
prove
to
dem.
If
the
tenant
is
not
getting
the
landlord
to
address
a
rodent
issue,
then
that
should
be
a
complaint
to
building
inspections
and
then
it
will
get
taken
care
of,
but
to
keep
the
integrity
of
the
program.
Not
everybody
is
honest,
council
person
so
to
make
sure
that
the
signature
is
in
fact
the
property
owner.
The
system
is
in
place
that
the
property
owner
has
to
call.
J
We
would
have
to
check
with
dem
I
I
I'm
not
a
position
to
say
that
that
would
work.
I
wouldn't
want
to
agree
today
if,
in
fact,
the
em's
gonna
have
an
issue
with
that
and
it
most
we've
had
very
few
people
that
when
we
explain
it
to
have
not
gotten
the
property
owner
to
take
care
of
it,
because
they
do
know
that
there's
a
penalty
with
building
inspections.
C
Thank
you
really,
quick
just
want
to
know
for
the
record
that
council
member
renzuli
is
here
and
then
also
just
remind
everyone
that
we
have
another
meeting
that
should
have
started
six
minutes
ago.
So
we'll
try
to
move
on
quickly,
but
I
see
everybody's
hand
up
so
I'm
gonna
go
to
council
member
jermaine
first
and
then
council,
member
campbell,
piano,
okay,
council,
member
kevin
piano.
P
Thank
you,
council
president.
This
is
a
matter.
That's
gonna
be
concerning
to
me,
and
I
have
some
education
in
this
area
because
of
my
properties.
I
think
education
is
where
we
have
to
tackle
this
versus
abatement
and
stuff,
like
that.
I
think
if
we
sent
some
type
of
a
flyer
out
or
a
mailing
with,
you
know
the
rat
issue
with
some
pictures
of
like
the
director
mentioned,
with
with
the
food
on
the
ground
and
the
bird
feeders
and
real
graphic
stuff
that
will
catch
their
eye.
P
P
C
N
I
think
jordan
issue
has
so
many
layers
and
it's
not
something
easy
for.
For
example,
if
we
have,
I
just
heard
the
director,
you
have
a
property
where
the
there
is
what's
problem
and
the
owner
are
not
available
to
make
sure
to
take
care
of
that,
and
the
next
house
is
being
taken
care
of.
So
you
just
like
you
have
a
bucket
and
you
are
putting
water
and
then
you
have
a
hole
on
it
and
I
think
we
need
to
address
this
differently
to
look
at
all
the
layers.
N
N
So
I
wonder,
for
example,
that's
the
question
I
have
for
for
the
truth.
I
know
this,
is
you
know
private
property?
Do
we
know
how
often
someone
needs
to
empty
the
dumpsters
and
if
they
don't?
What
is
the
penalty
of
that?
Because
there's
so
many
things
that
is,
you
know
sustained
the
word
problem
we
have.
So
if
we
don't
address
all
is
this,
I
will
say
it's
a
system
that
is
in
place
that
keep
the
rats
problems.
If
we
don't
address,
all
part
of
this
system
is
like
we
are
doing
nothing.
C
J
C
M
Yeah,
I
can't
recall,
I'm
sorry:
there
was
an
ordinance
that
actually
just
introduced
last
year
and
it
was
about
dumpsters,
particularly
in
residential
commercial
apartments,
and
they
are
it
passed,
so
it
should
be
in
their
code.
But
it's
probably
easier
for
me
to
look
up
the
actual
ordinance
and
my
drive,
and
there
is
a
I
want
to
say,
had
to
be
collected.
Sorry.
C
Yeah
definitely
a
building
inspections.
This
issue,
if
any
of
you
have
apartment
buildings
in
your
awards-
and
you
know-
aren't
getting
picked
up
on
a
weekly
basis,
let
the
administration
know
so
we
can
let
building
inspections.
Now.
On
that
note,
I'm
going
to
close
this
portion
on
rotary
control
and
move
on
to
the
next
item.
C
O
Thank
you.
First
item
is
the
status
of
inspections
and
debris.
Cleanup
of
yard
works
from
the
prior
meeting,
so
I'm
just
looking
from
the
administration
where
that
stands,
there's
going
to
be
a
viewing.
Inspections
had
not
gone
out
and
just
wondering
if
inspections
has
gone
out
as
part
of
where
it
stands.
Thanks.
L
O
L
O
If
you
may
recall
the
previous
meetings
that
this
originates
from
there
were
photographs
submitted
showing
debris
that
clearly
did
not
belong
there,
and
some
of
that
debris
could
only
be
viewed
on
adjoining
properties
unless
the
inspections
department
was
given
express
permission
to
enter
the
property.
So
can
you
tell
me,
did
inspections
go
to
any
of
the
neighboring
properties
to
in
fact
view
those
areas
that
the
photographs
showed.
L
K
K
O
O
It
was
said
that
I
believe
it
was
director
mcauley
that
was
present
and
spoke
on
this
and
said
that
there
was
talks
with
dpw
and
with
the
police
recognizing
that
it
was
a
traffic
safety
issue.
However,
I
know
from
my
own
first-hand
account
of
going
out
to
that
area.
There's
a
large
amount
of
utility
work
being
conducted
in
that
area
right
now,
so
I
just
wanted
to
update
from
the
administration
as
to
where
things
stood.
L
You're
expressing
that
now
I
wasn't
aware
of
what
you
wanted
to
discuss.
I
know
we
had
discussion
on
this
and
I
thought
that
we
were
referring
to
this
before
the
bridge
was
finished.
It
was
used
as
a
cut
through,
so
the
concern
was
the
high
volume
of
traffic.
I
remember
that
it
was
reported
that
the
bridge
would
have
been
in
place
and
feeling
the
problems
would
be.
O
L
O
Sure
all
right,
all
right,
we'll
talk
and
then
I'll
see
if
we'll
continue
it
to
next
month,
thanks.
Okay,
the
third
topic
is
discussion
status
of
the
retaining
wall
in
the
basketball
care,
basketball,
court
area
of
aqueduct
road
bud
long
pool
facility.
I
was
contacted
by
a
resident
that
I
was
contacted
by
a
couple
of
residents
afterwards
as
well.
O
I
had
spoken
to
I
sent
an
email
with
photographs
of
the
retaining
wall.
Director
mccauley
had
then
contacted
me.
Three
days
later
was
in
august.
I
believe
it
was
august
16th.
He
had
said
that
the
mayor
himself,
I
believe,
director
bernardo
as
well.
I
don't
know
if
director
to
saglia
was
there
or
not?
I
don't
know
had
gone
to
the
location
said
that
it
was
a
concern
and
that
they
would
be
erecting
a
fence.
I
O
Wooden
wire
not
using
concrete
blocks,
but
actually
drilling
into
the
ground
and
blocking
off
that
area,
and
it
was
also
told
to
me
that
that
time
that
the
basketball
hoops
were
removed
from
the
basketball
court
that
was
clears
to
that
nearest
to
that
retaining
wall,
and
I
accepted
him
at
his
word
that
that
was
done
and
then
only
to
find
out
that
that
did
not
occur.
And
again
I
just
I'm
following
up
to
see
where
that
stands.
Thanks.
L
I'll
tell
you
what
I
do
know
and
it
wasn't
privy
to
that
conversation,
but
the
basketball
hoops
on
that
portion
have
been
removed
and
there's
going
to
be
erected
a
safety
safety
fence
that
orange
safety
fence
around
a
perimeter.
So
if
there
was
a
breach,
it's
going
to
the
fence
will
be
beyond
any
danger
point.
O
And
just
to
be
clear,
even
when
I
submitted
it
to
the
administration
with
the
photographs
I
didn't
say,
this
is
a
liability.
I
just
said:
look
a
resident
reached
out
and
clearly
from
the
pictures
it
looked
like
it
was
of
concern
and
to
be
addressed,
and
you
know
I
understand
mistakes
can
happen,
but
I
would
hope
that
in
the
future
it's
not
stated
that
something
is
actually
done
when
in
fact
it's
not
it's
not
done.
L
O
O
O
We
had
discussed
this
previously
in
february
direct
conversations
with
the
administration.
The
reason
why
it's
on
both
dockets
of
finance
committee
and
public
works
is
because
this
program
impacts
both
those
departments
and
where
it
currently
stands.
As
a
refresher
is
that
in
february
we
had
discussions
with
director.
Strom
was
the
finance
director
director
mason
who's.
O
The
public
works
director
at
the
time
and
with
the
mayor
that
the
septic
loan
program
would
be
something
the
city
was
going
to
entertain,
but
not
the
sewer
tie-in
program
and
that
the
dem
required
wastewater
on-site
wastewater
management
plan
needed
to
be
conducted
and
was
going
to
be
conducted
at
the
finance
committee
meeting
earlier
this
week.
It
was
stated
that
we
would
be
having
further
discussions
this
evening
and
that
director
bernardo
would
have
some
relevant
information
with
respect
to
this.
L
L
Is
the
administration
supports
this,
as
mentioned,
we
believe
we
solve
the
financing
of
this
application,
but
as
you're
aware,
there's
an
application
process
or
qualification,
which
I
referred
to
with
dem,
to
be
qualified
to
administer
this
program
and
that's
probably
about
a
twenty
thousand
dollar
bill,
but
we
believe
that
would
merit
to
fall
within
the
sewer
enterprise
fund,
so
we
could
probably
financially
afford
it
from
there.
As
I
mentioned
the
last
meeting,
it
did
lose
some
steam
by
losing
a
public
works
director
finance
director.
L
L
L
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure,
especially
now
I'm
a
bit
kind
self-conscious
about
the
finances
and
just
trying
to
make
sure
we
have
a
program
that
we're
comfortable,
confident
about.
But
I'm
confident
this
is
going
to
happen
and
now,
but
in
terms
of
the
certification.
So
so
here's
the
thing
we
were
told
that
and
it's
going
to
be
taking
approximately
three
to
four
months
with
the
financing
application
process,
to
give
an
idea
on
timing.
L
L
Quite
sure,
I
don't
think
it's
a
problem.
I
just
said
my
my
biggest
my
assessment
is:
is
making
sure
we
develop
a
proper
plan
eligibility
and
there's
a
there's,
many
requirements
so
basically
where
our
own
lending
program
and
to
have
a
fair,
fair
program,
because
it's
really
a
blank
piece
of
paper.
But
there's
history
to
it.
As
we
know.
O
Yeah,
I
did
take
the
time
and
I
had
spoken
back
around
that
time
in
february.
I'd
spoken
to
a
couple
of
other
towns
that
administered
the
program
they're
actually
rather
generous
with
their
time
too,
because
once
we
lay
whatever
the
requirements
are
that
we
want
to
for
the
program.
It
is
easy
after
that,
since
it's
the
lending
is
really
through
rhode,
island
housing.
G
L
I
I
could,
I
believe,
put
it
this
way,
go
into
a
time
frame,
assume
that
we
develop
a
plan
which
hopefully
will
be
expeditious
once
we
have
that,
then
we
can
begin
to
if
we
begin
to
apply
for
the
financial
application,
that's
to
be
three
or
four
months
and
then
tell
me
if
I'm
wrong
director,
I
think,
did
he
say
it
may
take
six
months
or
not
yeah
that
that
was
it
just
hit
me?
Yes,
so
it
could
take
up
to
six
months.
From
that
end,.
C
C
M
M
There
was
one
done
last
year.
There
was
another
one
done
after
that.
It's
been
pretty
much
what's
happened
is
that
there
is
a
tremendous
amount
of
speeding,
as
we
all
know,
there's
speeding
taking
place
in
throughout
the
entire
city,
but
the
residents
of
chiswick
trap
chiswick,
I
have
pretty
much
have
you
know.
I
met
with
them
a
couple
of
weeks
ago.
There's
a
couple.
M
How
do
we
do?
How
do
we
work
as
a
star
starting
point
and
in
our
conversations
in
our
meeting
just
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
we're
hoping
that
the
administration
after
researching
can
appeal
write
a
letter
through
a
say,
google
maps
or
say
well
waze,
which
is
also
own
now
by
google
and
requesting
that
they
reroute
and
not
have
the
you
know,
have
it
used
only
for
local
traffic
but
not
have
like
a
anyone?
M
M
So
that
is
my
ask
for
tonight.
Is
there
something
that
we
as
a
city
can
actually
do
the
public
works
director
or
highway,
or
even
the
police
department
would
be
able
to
probably
be
able
to
do
given
the
fact
we
already
have
the
traffic
study
we,
we
know
it's
not
just
a
speeding
area,
but
it's
also
rerouting
it'll
cut
down
the
amount
of
possibly
speeding
a
potential
someone
getting
hit
and
the
traffic
going
through.
There
is
a
sign
right
now.
Q
M
They've
tried
already
in
there
and
google
has
responded.
They
need
a
letter
from
the
city,
so
we
need
that's,
and-
and
that's
that's
why
my
ask
is-
is
to
have
that
letter
in
support
of
the
residents
so
that
way,
we're
able
to
do
it
because
the
residents
can
do
it.
Oh
yeah
yeah
yeah,
and
so
they
did
it.
So
the
neighbors
did
a
petition
I
actually
haven't
received.
M
P
B
J
What,
yes,
it's
actually
a
couple
of
things?
The
the
first
thing
I
need
to
clarify
is
this
is
not
a
speeding
issue.
Multiple
studies
have
shown
from
the
police
department
that
the
enforceable
violations
are
between
one
and
four
percent.
With
an
average
speed
of
24
miles
an
hour
when
you're
on
the
street,
you
can
perceive
it
being
faster
with
that
being
said
again,
speeding
is
only
the
only
way
to
address
it
is
through
enforcement,
and
this
really
doesn't
look
like
a
speeding
issue
as
much
as
the
country
traffic
going
back
to
2010.
J
The
first
study
that
was
done
in
this
area
showed
a
volume
of
traffic
between
300
cars
from
broad
street
to
narragansett
parkway
in
the
morning,
cutting
through
and
100
cars
in
the
other
direction,
so
there
is
traffic
through
there.
The
one
thing
that
I
will
caution
is
we're
talking
about
a
system
that's
in
place
to
remove
a
private
roadway
from
google
and
in
waze.
This
is
not
a
private
roadway.
This
is
a
public
roadway.
J
If
we
ca,
I'm
not
saying
we
shouldn't.
If
the
administration
wants
to
I'd
be
more
than
happy
to
send
a
letter
to
both
of
them,
but
it
has
to
be
a
request,
because
these
are
public
roadways
and
we
would
have
no
way
of
enforcing
stopping
cars
and
saying
do
you
live
here?
Do
you
you
know
you're
cutting
through
the
public
roadways
when
you
do
things
like
that,
you're
going
to
take
the
burden
of
this
traffic
off
of
cheswick
and
you're
going
to
relocate
it
somewhere
else,
so
that
that's
always
a
problem?
J
You
know
you,
the
traffic
is
going
to
go
there.
I
was
there
today.
I
know
exactly
what
you're
talking
about.
I
I
saw
speeding
the
speeding
wasn't
on
cheswick.
The
speed
was
in
there
against
it,
parkway
they
were
going
over
the
speed
bump.
I
I
they're
ruining
their
vehicles,
but
I
drive
a
dpw
explorer
and
not
a
police
explorer,
so
they
didn't
care.
J
M
M
The
one
done
last
year,
I
know
it
was
done
right,
like
in
february,
probably
right
when
it
like
kind
of
snowed,
so
that
when
I
kind
of
take
kind
of
lately
right
but
but
I
understand
right,
moving
the
traffic
low
and
that
burden
on
to
another
area,
we
have
that
conversation
as
well
with
with
the
residents
of
on
that
street.
I
didn't
want
to
move
it
to
sefton
or
move
it
to
bluff
and
keep
it
going
because
we're
going
to
keep
having
the
same
problems
just
on
a
different
street.
M
J
My
only
point
in
pointing
out
the
fact
that
the
study
showed
this
in
2010
is,
I
think
it's
a
lot
of
people
that
know
this
area.
I
think
it's
people
in
cranston.
I
think
it's
people
in
warwick,
so
even
if
we
get
waze
and
google
to
change
it'll
be
for
people
that
are
cutting
through.
But
if
you're
familiar
with
the
area,
they're
going
to
continue
to
go
where
they
go
and
it's
a
public
street.
So.
M
They
will,
but
because
we
see
a
lot
of
out
of
state,
I
don't
know
if
you
saw
that
today
and
a
lot
of
even
you
know,
amazon
and
so
forth
and
you're
right
right.
We
can't
have
someone
from
the
police
department
stand
there
with
your
vehicle,
be
in
their
vehicle
and
say:
do
you
live
on
the
street
or
not?
M
I
definitely
understand
that
part,
but
if
we
can
try
to
at
least
see
what
we
can
do
and
move
it
over
to
norwood,
it
might
help
out
the
traffic
on
that
end,
and
you
know
less
pressure
on
the
road.
I
guess
so
there
won't
be
a
request
for
me
to
say:
hey,
you
know,
is
it
possible
to
pave
this
week
anytime
soon,
because.
M
F
F
O
M
J
And
again,
I
I
just
I'm
not
opposed
to
if
the
administration
directs
me
to
write
a
letter
to
google
in
ways.
I'd
be
more
than
happy
to
do
that.
I
just
want
to
when
I
answer
questions
I'd
like
to
give
you
all
the
information
and
the
potential
pitfalls,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
all
understand
it's
not
speeding
and
if
you're
familiar
with
the
area
you're,
not
using
waze
in
google
and
they're,
going
to
continue
to
use
that
roadway.
L
Just
just
to
add
to
it,
I
have
spoken
with
police.
To
be
quite
frank
with
you,
the
colonel
is
not
big
on
such
a
letter.
He
does
feel
as
if
moving
it.
This
is
going
to
cause
another
problem.
If
there's
more
complaints,
it's
on
him.
However,
I
know
the
mayor
is
very
close
to
this
and
you
have
a
strong
desire
for
it.
I'm
sure
the
residents
have
a
strong
desire
for
that.
So
certainly,
I
think
mr
the
director
bernardo
would
be
happy
to
write
that
letter.
C
Okay,
thank
you.
All
that
concludes
chesapeake
traffic
study.
Next
is
a
communication
here
from
council
vice
president
ferry,
but
he's
not
here
this
evening,
so
I'd
like
to
ask
that
that
can
be
continued
to
next
month.
Madam
clerk,
thank
you
very
much
at
this
time
I'll,
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn
so
moved.
Q
E
Q
A
Over
over
the
summer,
I
forget,
if
it
was
july
or
august
budget
auditor
demayo
and
I
had
sat
down,
and
he
presented
me
with
what
is
before
each
of
us
this
evening,
which
is
you
know
the
requested
fiscal
note,
and
you
know
it's.
It's
now
been
submitted
as
part
of
the
record
through
through
through
the
clerk
the
for
the
first
year.
Well,
essentially
based
on
his
assumptions.
A
The
the
fiscal
impact
year
over
year
would
be
about
a
hundred
and
eighty
one
thousand
dollars
taking
into
account.
You
know
expenses
the
money
brought
in
so
based
on
his
assumptions.
It
would
be
a
hundred
and
eighty
one
thousand
dollars
a
year.
I
you
know,
I
reckon
I
think
we
all
recognize
that
the
difficult
position
you
know
the
city
is
in
regarding
the
budget.
So
are
you
cognizant
of
how
every
dollar
is
being
spent?
A
A
There
were
considerable
feedback
that
I
have
received
both
from
housing
experts
from
members
of
the
committee
from
the
administration
members
of
the
public,
the
budget
auditor.
So
I
am
going
to
withdraw
it,
take
all
those
considerations
into
account
and
then
resubmit
as
a
reworked
ordinance
to
fine-tune
some
of
those
questions.
But
I
did
I
appreciate
the
budget
auditor
putting
this
together.
I'm
glad
that
it
was
submitted
to
you,
know
kind
of
get
on
the
record,
how
much
this
ordinance
might
might
cost
per
year.
Q
I
N
Thank
you
chairman.
This
ordinance
came
before
us
because
of
reasoning
to
reach
out
to
explain
the
dangers
in
the
intersection,
frankfurt
and
pleasant
street.
So
a
lot
of
people
got
confused
and
they
use
it
as
a
four
ways
and
some
people
like
hesitancy
that
has
been
someone
knows.
Oh
I'm
glad
I'm
starved.
So
that's
why
I
request
to
put
we
already
have
twist
sign
just
to
add
another
one
to
make
it
four
ways.
I
don't
think
that
will
will
require
so
much
money.
N
N
Some
people
might
have
and
that's
the
reason
I
propose
to
add
to
make
it
four
ways
because
where's
it
in
this
area,
which
I
would
say
it's
dangerous
people
being
like
almost
bumped
into
all
and
one
another,
because
some
people
think
it's
a
four
ways
and
you
use
it
as,
if
always
so.
That's
the
reason
for
that.
C
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
councilmember
jermaine,
for
putting
this
ordinance
in
well.
I
agree
with
it
and
I
think
the
intent
is
good
for
the
ordinance
I'm
just
looking
through
the
traffic
engineers
report
now
and
it
does
have
an
expensive
cost
of
45
to
55
000.
You
know.
Sometimes
we
could
overlook
the
the
amount
of
money,
but
when
you
look
at
the
crash
data,
it
looks
like
there's
only
been
one
minor
collision
in
the
past
five
years.
C
G
C
G
Could
just
clarify
I:
I
was
reading
that
as
well.
The
cost
council
president,
that
was
for
their
alternative
suggestion
of
a
landscaped
traffic
island,
so
they
were
saying
that
the
stop
sign
is
going
to
be
80
something
feet
away.
So
that's
why,
for
that,
an
alternative,
that's
what
the
cost
of
the
island
would
be.
N
N
A
trap,
so
the
suggestion
to
helping
to
mitigate
the
issue
is
to
put
an
island.
That's
their
suggestion
right.
So
that
wasn't
my
suggestion
I
didn't
ask
to.
I
don't
want
to
ask
to
use
more
taxpayers,
so
I
just
asked,
as
for
one
stop
sign
to
add
in
the
intersection
make
it
you
know
more
secure,
safer,
okay,
make
it
safer
for
degrees
in
it.
So
that's
what
I
asked
so
I
don't
ask
to
to
spend
more
money.
L
Yes,
responding
to
the
administration's
opinion,
and
we
do
concur
with
the
councilwoman
that
adding
a
50,
40
50
000
island
may
not
be
the
necessary
solution,
given
the
lack
of
his
incidents
there.
We
do
question
about
the
location
of
putting
that
stop
sign,
85
feet
away,
but
if,
if
you'd
still
like
to
do
that,
we
would
have
no
objection
if
you
want
to
do
a
stop.
Sign
group
just
want
to
mention
that.
C
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you
for
clarifying
the
issue
with
the
island.
Now
my
new
concern
is
having
a
stop
sign,
85
feet
from
the
intersection.
That's
a
long
way,
that's
eight
and
a
half
stories
for
our
building.
That's
ten
ten
feet,
I
think
per
story.
So
I
I
don't
remember
a
stop
sign
after
I
see
it
five
feet
or
two
feet
in
front
of
me.
I'm
not
gonna,
remember
from
80
feet
that
I
have
to
stop.
So
that's
my
concern.
Q
Agree
with
council
president,
it
might
be
a
little
bit
confusing.
It
doesn't
really
add
anything
to
this
four-way
stop
if
it's
so
far
away
from
where
everyone
else
is
stopping,
or
am
I
not
understanding
correctly,
one
sign
would
be
85
feet
away,
but
the
other
three
signs
would
stay
exactly
as
they
are
correct.
Yes,.
A
I
am
undecided
on
this
and
you
know
it.
Speeding
on
frankfurt
is
an
issue
and
and
pleasant
street
people
in
a
hurry
to
get
to
twin
oaks,
but
I
I
the
the
one
signage
coming
as
you're
coming
off,
niantic
on
to
frankfurt.
That
being
so
far
away
is
different.
I
I
don't
know.
Councilwoman
is
correct
that
this
is
an
issue
and
something
should
be
done,
but
I'm
still
on
the
fence
on.
If
this
is
the
proper
thing
to
do.
C
I
mean
you
know,
stop
signs
or
what
they
are
they're
stop
signs.
We
put
them
up,
we
take
them
down,
we
do
it
all
the
time
you
know,
I'm
it's
85
feet
away.
I
mean
if
it
doesn't
work,
you
know
it
doesn't
work.
It's
still
a
three-way.
Stop
at
that
point.
So
maybe
we
could
always
try
it,
but
I
don't
think
spending
the
money
on
the
island
and
council.
Remember
jermaine,
you
agree
with
us,
so
I
agree
with
not
spending
the
money
on
the
island
to
the
administration.
C
L
Aunt,
just
a
little
closer
no
mike
is,
I
think,
it's
a
revenue
generator,
because
if
you
look
where,
if
you're
coming
off
malta
someone's
turning
a
quick
corner,
they
could
go
right
past
that
stop
sign
where
pleasant
street
is
right.
I
we
we
support
it
as
a
revenue
generator,
but
and
in
all
seriousness,
though-
and
I
do
cause-
maybe
I'm
just
cheap,
but
there
was
only
one
incident
in
the
in
the
five
years
and
for
that
we
don't
think
it's
necessary
to
be
quite
frank
with
you.
L
L
L
I
think
that
was
a
result
of
her
request
of
looking
into
this
matter
so,
but
this
is
the
the
two
alternators
that
the
traffic
engineer
came
up
with
I'm
not,
and
certainly
obviously,
this
councilwoman
could
speak
for
herself,
but
I'm
not
so
sure
she
particularly
proposed
that
location
more.
So
the
traffic
engineer.
N
M
Yeah
I'm
just
trying,
I
I'm
so
sorry,
I'm
really
trying
to
understand
and
again
I
know
that
this
was
not
drafted
by
the
councilwoman
on
this
map,
but
but
on
your
end
by
looking
at
this
you're
suggesting,
if
we
take
this
photo,
that's
before
us,
do
you
don't
think
that
stop
sign?
That's
on
this,
the
graphic
on
the
stop
sign
should
be
where
it
is
now.
M
C
L
R
N
I
don't
want
to
see
fatalities.
I
don't
want
to
just
take
a
decision
because
there
is
a
fatalities.
We
don't
want
that.
So
we
need
to
always
proactively
take
measure
not
reacting
to
something.
So
I
will
feel
really
bad
if,
like
in
the
next
few
years-
and
you
say,
oh,
there
was
an
accident,
there
was
something
happening
here
and
that
we
could
breath
in.
But
at
the
same
time
I
think,
oh,
if
we
think
it's
up
to
you,
if
we
take
is
it
doesn't
need
it
for
an
additional
stop
sign.
M
I
G
Q
P
B
G
I
G
R
R
R
R
R
I
feel
the
city
of
cranston
is
going
to
great
lengths
in
attempting
to
take
away
the
legal
right
of
a
person
to
smoke
marijuana,
and
you
are
not
acknowledging
that
portion
of
the
population
who
depend
on
cannabis
for
medicinal
purposes
and
how
will
this
ordinance
be
enforced
and
if
a
person
is
using
edibles?
How
is
that
enforced?
R
R
R
E
G
L
A
A
Burnham
and
the
the
issue
being
that
there
there
are
everything
from
one
gentleman
in
particular
that's
on
crescent.
He
has
sent
me
and
posted
his
ring
doorbell
videos
of
some
of
the
polls
and
and
tel
and
wires
being
struck
by
you
know
18,
wheelers
and
whatnot
that
it
just
doesn't
seem
fitting.
Those
are
two
really
narrow
roads.
The
only
concern
I
have,
admittedly,
is
falvey,
who
I
do
I
do
need
to
call,
but
I
understand
it
might
not
be
an
issue.
C
Yeah
I
looked
at
the
map
today
and
I
don't
you
know
the
fabulous
you
know
fabulous
is
a
big
business.
That's
over,
I
don't
think
they
use
those
two
streets,
so
I
don't
think
that's
an
issue
and
you
know
what
I
thought
this
was
for
a
stop
sign.
This
is
for
no
through
trucking.
I
don't
know
if
we
would
get
a
traffic
engineer
report
for
that.
So
my
apologies,
my
apologies
for
asking.
R
Q
C
G
I
A
A
The
only
responses
that
I
received
in
return-
and
there
were
about
six
or
seven,
were
all
yes
to
the
stop
signs.
There
wasn't
a
single
neighbor
that
responded.
That
said,
no
in
the
area
that
I
I
talked
to
I
mean
I,
I
grew
up
on
norwood
avenue,
it's
it's
probably
from
my
personal
experience
arbitrarily
and
from
the
residents.
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
needed
there.
Q
C
It's
you
know
it's
one
of
those
things
we
don't
have
to
get
we're
supposed
to
statutorily,
give
the
traffic
engineer
two
months
to
do
a
traffic
study
and
when
I
became
council
president,
I
bumped
into
mr
mulcahy,
and
he
goes-
please
adhere
to
the
two
months.
I
beg
you
please
so
it's
something
that
I
would
like
to
do
here.
I'm
gonna
continue
my
two
ordinances
at
the
end
of
the
end
of
the
docket
just
to
try
to
adhere
to
that.
But
I
mean
it's
still
the
law
of
the
council.
L
Q
P
C
G
All
right
moving
right
along
to
8-22
until
the
consumption
of
marijuana
in
public
places
sponsored
by
myself
and
councilwoman
renzoli.
I
will
entertain
emotion,
emotional
proof,
second
and
I'll
just
explain
this
briefly.
We
did
have
some
public
comment
on
this.
It's
well
known
that
the
state
of
rhode
island
has
legalized
recreational
marijuana
and
now
has
kicked
it
really
to
the
cities
and
towns
to
to
define
their
regulations
to
find
their
policy
on
how
they're
going
to
allow
that
in
in
their
communities.
G
So
this
is
going
to
be
a
multifaceted
issue
that
we
have
to
regulate
the
use.
We
have
to
determine
planning
and
zoning
of
where
these
shops,
if
they
come
here,
will
go.
The
financial
aspect
of
the
the
state
pays
three
percent
to
the
the
hosting
town,
but
are:
are
there
any
other
available
available
fees
or
licenses?
G
So
I
actually
spoke
to
the
administration
and
a
victoria
scott
from
the
governor's
office
they
haven't.
While
they
passed
the
law,
they
have
not
finalized
the
actual
regulations
through
dvr.
Yet
so
I'm
waiting
to
hear
back
on
that,
but
this
first
step
right
now
without
anything
it's
basically
the
wild
west
marijuana
is
legal.
G
You
know
you
can
do
it
anywhere.
What
this
has
been
tailored
after
is
the
alcohol
consumption
policy
in
the
state
in
the
city.
So
you
can't
just
go
walking
around
drinking
a
beer.
You
can't
you
know,
drink
and
drive
things
of
that
nature.
Similarly,
there's
regulations
as
to
cigarette
smoking,
but
this
we
are
not.
G
Despite
what
was
said
in
public
comment,
we
are
not
looking
to
criminalize
anything,
but
as
a
municipality,
we
have
to
have
some
sort
of
regulation,
whether
those
are
loose
or
tight
is
for
this
body
to
decide,
but
it's
an
issue
that
has
been
put
on
our
plate
that
we
now
have
to.
We
have
to
put
together
a
policy,
so
I
think
this
is
the
first
step
in
in
handling
the
marijuana
issue
is
simply
defining
where
it
can
be
consumed.
G
C
Thank
you,
a
chair,
yeah
I
like
to
be
out
as
a
co-sponsor
as
well,
and
I
do
agree
that
you
know
the
genies
out
of
the
bottle
so
to
speak
on
on
marijuana
being
legal
across
the
state.
You
know
we
do
need
to
set
some
kind
of
guidelines.
I
think
marinette
just
like
alcohol
is,
is
fine,
so
I'll
be
in
support
of
this
tonight.
Thank
you.
L
I
K
K
K
If
you
want
to
add
more
clarification
and
say
that
the
the
police
department
is
responsible
for
enforcing
this
ordinance,
you
can
certainly
do
that.
I
think
just
by
default.
The
police
department
is
going
to
enforce
this,
but
it
like,
I
said
it's
in
the
discretion
of
the
committee.
It
wouldn't
hurt
to
put
it
in.
M
A
line
45-47
a
is
this
language
taken
by
from
any
other
ordinance
or
state
legislation,
in
terms
of
it
shall
be
unlawful
for
any
person
to
consume
marijuana,
whether
by
smoking,
vaping
or
any
other
method,
while
operating
or
occupying
a
motor
vehicle.
As
a
passenger
on
a
public
roadway
like
how
do
you
enforce
that.
K
Well,
that
that's
a
good
question,
but
again,
if
this
was,
I
didn't
draft
this
first
of
all,
this
was
this
was
drafted
by
solicitor
rawson,
so
he's
the
one
who
would
really
know.
But
if
you're
asking
me,
I
would
say
this:
if
you
substituted
the
word
alcohol
for
marijuana,
essentially
you're,
going
to
find
that
it
mirrors
almost
word
for
word:
the
current
statutory
scheme
for
alcohol,
so
open
containers,
there's
an
example.
You
cannot
ride
with
an
open
container.
You
cannot
consume
alcohol
while
driving.
So
I
think
again,
we
just,
I
believe
his
intent.
M
K
M
K
A
great
question
because
if
a
police
officer,
for
instance,
is
on
a
fixed
post
or
he
just
happens
to
pull
up
in
traffic
next
next
to
a
vehicle,
it's
pretty
easy
to
see.
When
someone's
consuming
alcohol,
I
mean
you're
going
to
see
budweiser,
you
know,
you'll
see
a
bottle
of
scotch.
Now.
If
someone
is
smoking,
that's
a
little
bit
different.
That
police
officer
ultimately
still
has
to
justify
his
actions.
He
would
have
to
have
probable
cause
that
the
person
was
violating
the
ordinance.
K
G
G
So
if
a
police
officer
smells
that
they're
charging
them
with
that,
I
don't
think
they're
going
to
be
too
concerned
with
our
ordinance.
It
could
be
a
separate
ticket
that
gets
added
on
top
of
that,
but
that
that's
going
to
be
a
criminal
offense
that
they're
going
to
deal
with.
I
don't
think
they'll
they
would
have
any
it
wouldn't
really
get
to
the
municipal
level.
At
that
point,.
I
M
Okay,
sorry,
thank
you,
so
someone's
not
allowed
and
I
listen.
I
understand
obviously
the
point
of
this
and
I'm
all
in
favor
of
you
know:
park
athletic
field,
city
property.
You
know
within
the
city
property.
Perhaps
if
we
don't
want
smoking,
someone
in
here
shouldn't
smoke
and
I
believe
they
can't
and
not
having
someone
smoke,
marijuana,
marijuana
and
trust
me.
I
I
understand
that
part
of
it.
M
They're
vaping
or
smoking
and
they're
taking
out
their
trash
and
they're
now
on
the
sidewalk
or
putting
their
trash
right
on
the
thing,
because
technically
they're
in
violation
of
this,
so
I,
if
we
can
amend
some
of
the
language
on
this
and
I'm
I
I
just-
I
can't
vote
on
this
today
as
a
affirmative
as
a
yes.
But
I
definitely
get
your
point
on
this
because
it's
it's
definitely
sometimes
the
smell
that
you
take
a
whiff
and
you're
like
it's
over
the
top
right,
but
with
school.
M
You
know
school
grounds,
public
city,
that
we
can
probably
control
but
first,
but
I
think
we
still
need
some
tweaking
on
this
particular
ordinance.
The
way
it's
presented
tonight
just
not
to
be
in
violation,
you
know
get
tackled
or
or
be
brought
before
attention,
even
if
it's
an
aclu,
you
know
coming
before
saying
whether
this
is
right
or
not,
which
you
know.
Sometimes
we
agree.
Sometimes
we
disagree
with
aclu,
but
in
this
case
I
still
think
that
it
needs
a
little
bit
more.
K
G
N
Thank
you
chairman.
This
is
a
good
step
to
make
sure
we,
our
children,
our
people
are
safe,
okay,
but
I
do
echo
the
sentiment
of
councilman
vargas
with
some
languages,
because
we
feel
I
feel
like
we
we
we
may
go
too
far
in
private.
You
know
rights
of
those
people,
for
example,
in
the
definition
of
public
place,
instead
public
street,
any
public
street.
N
N
O
Thank
you.
I
do
think
that
there
is
a
lot
of
merit
to
the
idea
of
having
further
discussion
in
the
council
as
a
whole.
I
can
speak
for
myself
when
I
say
I'm
in
support
of
the
idea
of
prohibiting
the
use
of
of
marijuana
in
certain
public
spaces.
Look,
I
don't
want
to
smell
it.
I
don't
want
my
kids
smelling
it.
O
So
it's
important,
but
there
is
some
tweaking
to
be
had,
I
believe
in
the
state
law.
They
define
some
of
the
use
to
diff
differentiate
between
medical
use
and
adult
use,
cannabis
being
it
being
used
for
non-medical
persons.
You
know
over
the
age
of
21,
etc.
So
we
can
put
specific
provisions
in
there
and
this
is
definitely
a
topic.
That's
going
to
need
that
kind
of
deep
dive
and
specificity
to
get
it
right.
So
that's
my
two
cents
thanks.
A
That
way,
it's
it's
we're
still
protecting
some
of
those
kind
of
sacred
areas,
but
thanks
for
bringing
it
forward.
I
think
that
this
is
something
we
can
all
work
on
and
thank
you
to
the
sponsors
and
one
last
thing,
because
I
don't
always
get
a
chance
to
say
I
agree
with
mayor
hopkins,
but
in
the
in
in
the
in
the
2020
mayoral
debate,
mayor
hopkins
did
say
that
he
favors
legalization
and
agree
with
him
on
it.
So.
C
Going
to
time
stamp
that
we're
going
to
save
that
john
already
already
screen
grabbing
it,
hey
no
seriously,
I'm
in
favor
of
this
tonight
I'd
love
to
pass
it
tonight.
I
know
that
you
know
the
cat's
out
of
the
bag
already
or
whatever
you
say
on.
You
know,
legalization
of
marijuana,
nothing
we
can
do
here,
but
I
do
think
if
we
do
continue
this,
we
should
continue
it
for
a
month.
C
Give
everybody
time
to
review
this
again,
see
what
other
cities
and
towns
are
doing
in
other
states
as
well
and
come
back
at
the
committee
level.
I
think
we
do
our
some
of
our
best
work
at
the
committee
level.
The
council
is
more
structured
to
just
you
know,
take
final
action
on
stuff,
so
I
think
if
we
do
continue
this,
we
should
just
continue
this
for
a
month.
Thank
you.
G
G
L
Yeah
sure,
just
certainly
the
administration
has
no
problem.
It's
your
authority
to
do
what
you
wish
can
certainly
understand
the
complexity
of
this.
Just
what
just
as
you
go
back
to
committee
to
realize
that
the
state
did
not
go
overnight
and
very
quickly
adopt
this.
There
was
a
lot
of.
As
you
all
know,
there
was
a
lot
of
controversy
over
the
years,
there's
controversy
and
not
unanimity
in
getting
it
passed
in
the
the
the
recreational
law.
So
there's
not
going
to
be
a
perfect
law.
I
guess
so.
L
My
point
is
no
matter
what
you
come
up
with.
It's
not
gonna
be
perfect.
So
if
you're
gonna
strike
for
perfection,
I'm
not
sure
if
you're
gonna
get
there,
but
something
I
do
have
to
note-
and
I
ask
you
please
to
consider
this
and
the
chief
will
ask
you
to
consider
this.
Just
like
you
say,
hey,
you
don't
see
a
problem
walking
around
with
the
joint
and
do
what
you
want
to
do,
but
is
that
good?
Is
it
fine
if
you're
walking
around
the
vodka
bottle
and
walking
down
the
streets
drinking
vodka?
L
If
it's
medical,
I
take
my,
I
take
my
my
high
blood
pressure
pills
after
I
leave
the
council
meetings
at
home,
but
I
think,
if
you
can
consider
things
like
that,
please
to
that's
where
the
colonel's
looking
at
this
to
say
what
is
the
difference,
and
perhaps
I
think,
if
maybe
you
feel
as
if
marijuana
should
be
able
to
used
in
public.
Perhaps
alcohol
should
be
able
to
be
consumed
in
public
just
as
well
just
to
throw
that
just
to
be
an
antagonist.
L
If
you
will-
or
you
know,
but
that
that's
a
lot
of
the
consideration
that's
going
into
this
and
it's
not
going
to
be
perfect
enforcement's
not
going
to
be
perfect.
I
don't
think
a
police
officer
is
going
to
stop
an
individual
if
they
throw
their
trash
out
across
the
street
drinking
a
beer
bottle
and
going
back
home.
L
If
is
that
what
we
want
in
cranston-
and
I
think
you
gotta
overall
you're
gonna
deal
with
an
imperfect
ordinance
and
I
respect
what
you're
doing
and
sure
a
couple
of
issues
to
tweak
it.
But
those
are
kind
of
the
philosophical
considerations
I
think
was
behind
this
thing,
particularly
in
terms
of
the
chief's
concern
and
the
mayor's
concern.
Thank
you.
