A
Council
president
pop
laskas
is
driving
back
from
new
jersey
at
this
moment,
so
I'm
gonna
be
running
the
meeting,
or
at
least
until
he
chimes
in
if
he
makes
it
at
all,
so
he
sends
his
apologies.
A
Can
somebody
help
me
out
what
are
the
prompts
when
somebody's
on
a
phone
if
they
need
to
raise
their
hand?
Does
anybody
know
star
six
and
star
knight
star
six
is
raise
your
hand,
correct
and
star?
A
A
A
Okay,
we
have
enough,
I
guess
we're
going
to
get
started
good
evening.
Everyone
I'd
like
to
call
to
order
a
special
meeting
of
the
city
council
for
february
10th
at
6,
00
p.m
rose.
Could
you
please
take
attendance.
C
A
Okay,
tonight's
meeting
is
a
workshop
to
consider
the
american
rescue
plan
act
funding
okay,
so
this
is
how
we're
gonna
run.
The
meeting
tonight
first
up
will
be
a
presentation
from
the
city
council
budget,
analyst
david
demaio,
as
he
did
in
the
last
meeting.
So
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
turn
the
floor
over
to
council
order
david
demaio.
G
Thank
you
all
welcome
tom.
Do
you
have
the
slide
presentation
that
you
can
put
up?
Also,
thank
you,
so
I'm
going
to
go
through
the
same
issues
in
the
same
presentation
as
the
last
time,
maybe
a
little
bit
more
of
an
abridged
version.
G
First
and
foremost,
we
just
have
to
realize
that
the
funding
we're
receiving
due
to
the
opera
funds
is
a
once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity
for
the
city
of
cranston
to
forge
forward
in
areas
that
are
necessarily
that
are
necessary
to
be
infrastructure
and
be
corrected
and
to
forge
forward
to
use
the
money
to
to
grow
the
city
and
help
with
issues
that
we
had
in
the
past
on
the
first
slide
tom.
G
What
I
want
to
bring
to
everybody's
attention,
as
I
did
before
the
the
american
rescue
plan
act,
had
direct
funding.
It
wasn't
just
that
this,
the
city
got
money
and
we
had
to
disperse
it
accordingly.
So
there
was
a
three
levels
of
funding
that
actually
was
given.
There
was
state
funding,
there
was
city
and
town
funding
and
there
was
school
funding
next
next
slide.
G
So,
as
we're
all
aware
of
the
state
of
rhode
island
received
1.2
billion
dollars
in
opera
funding,
the
city
of
cranston
received
or
will
receive
42.6
million
in
funding
which,
as
we
stated
in
the
past,
that
7.9
million
was
used
for
revenue
shortfalls
in
fiscal
year.
Ending
budget
of
june
30th,
2022
and
director
strom
had
supplied
the
council
a
list
of
the
calculation
and
how
it
was
calculated.
G
And
lastly,
the
cranston
school
department
received
the
elementary
and
secondary
emergency
relief
fund
which
came
under
opera.
They
received
20.8
million
dollars
to
be
dispersed
at
their
own
discretion
under
their
requirements
to
have
the
money
distributed.
G
There
may
be
some
additional
funding
that
the
schools
and
the
city
and
local
businesses
will
be
able
to
receive
now
that,
as
you
well
is
grants
that
the
state
are
putting
out
so
there's
actual
other
opportunities
for
the
city
and
the
school
department
and
local
businesses
to
receive
funding
that
may
may
come
up
that
may
not
come
out
of
the
city.
Funding
that
may
come
out
come
out
of
the
state
funding
in
which
they
appropriate
to
next
slide.
Please
tom.
G
So
a
few
notes
to
be
aware
of
to
keep
in
mind
the
treasury
rules
have
been
finalized,
but
do
not
take
effect
until
april
first.
Basically,
what
this
means
is
the
cities
and
towns,
and
the
organizations
that
have
appropriated
money
under
the
unfinalized
rules
can
still
use
that
or
they
have
an
option
to
maybe
use
the
rules
that
will
go
into
effect
april
1st
of
2022.
The
goal
was
not
to
let
them
stop
the
progress.
G
This
is
not
cares
or
crfs,
so
there's
no
urgency
to
spend
immediately
the
key
to
the
decision.
Making
is
to
be
aware
that
the
deadline
to
appropriate
costs
is
december,
31
to
20-24,
and
what
that
means
is
to
allocate
it
to
projects
that
everybody
agrees
upon.
G
the
treasury's
compliance
and
regard
reporting
guidelines
haven't
been
finalized.
I
believe,
in
the
last
presentation
director
sram
had
said
that
they've
been
filing
the
requirements
that
they
need
to,
but
they
haven't
had
any
other
disbursements
outside
of
the
initial
revenue
loss
next
side
piece.
Please
things
to
keep
in
mind
is
we
have
to
be
very,
very
cautious
not
to
rush
to
spending
without
a
plan.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
we
read
and
understand
the
guidelines.
G
We
want
all
our
award
terms
and
conditions
under
the
statute
to
meet
the
requirements
when
we
fund,
we
don't
want
to
be
liable
to
be
paying
money
back
and
the
biggest
thing
that
I've
been
reading
and
some
of
the
seminars
I've
taken.
Is
you
don't
want
to
be
making
premature
commitments
that
might
not
fall
within
guidelines
or
timelines,
because
again
we
don't
want
to
risk.
G
G
So
there
are
four
areas
of
broad
scope
where
the
funds
can
be
used
and
everything
will
fall
under
these
four
areas,
so
obviously
to
respond
to
public
health
emergencies
with
respect
to
the
coronavirus
disease,
negative
impacts,
including
assistance
to
households,
small
business
non-profits
impact
so
in
an
industry's
impact
such
as
tourism
travel.
G
Secondly,
premium
pay
to
essential
workers
which
are
considered
frontline
workers
through
emergency
grants
to
eligible
employees.
G
Thirdly,
is
the
one
that
we
used
already
was
for
service
revenue
loss,
so
there
was
a
calculation
there.
It
came
in
two
phases:
you
could
do
a
financial
calculation
or
you
could
elect
just
to
allocate
10
million
in
law
revenue
at
one
time
and
that's
it
for
all
your
funding
and,
lastly,
it's
to
make
necessary
investments
in
water
sewer
in
broadband.
G
So
what
I
put
together
here,
which
we
went
through
a
little
bit
more
in
depth
the
last
time
each
of
the
areas
these
are
suggested,
areas
that
are
covered
under
public
health
in
thinking
of
public
health,
with
a
re
reference
to
the
the
pandemic,
would
be
anything
that
would
benefit
us
to
track
testing
tracing
materials
to
prevent
any
of
those
areas
have
covered
services,
mental
health,
substance
abuse.
Those
are
all
areas
that
some
of
this
money
can
be
allocated
to
next
slide.
Please.
G
And
then,
with
the
negative
impact
aspect
of
it,
these
are
all
the
other
areas
that
we
could
allocate
funding
to.
You
know:
food
programs,
rent
and
mortgage
assistance,
cash
transfers,
internet
access,
eviction,
prevention,
job
training.
These
are
all
areas
under
the
negative
impact
section
of
it
that
actually
are
covered.
Also,
now
again,
I'm
only
giving
so
you're
aware,
I'm
only
giving
an
overview
of
the
areas
where
they
can
be
refined
to
specific
needs
of
the
cranston
community.
G
Tom
next
slide.
Please.
G
Again,
this
is
what
the
preview
and
pay
calculation
was,
which
was
the
third
I
believe
in
the
priority.
So
it's
any
frontline
worker
that
makes
under
a
certain
level
of
pay
annually
could
make
an
additional
pay
either
through
grants
to
frontline
businesses
that
are
out
there,
nursing
homes,
care
facilities
and
through
a
grant
system.
So
this
is
one
of
the
other
areas
that
the
community
can
benefit
for
it
next
slide,
please
and
then
in
the
infrastructure
section
of
it.
G
It
specifically
is
for
for
infrastructure
for
water,
clean
water
and
broadband,
so
obviously
there's
a
variety,
so
waste
water
treatment,
collection,
conveyance,
overflows,
storm
water,
energy
conservation,
water
conservation,
drinking
water,
treatment
and
trans
transmission
and
distribution,
and
obviously
broadband
upgrades.
So
everybody
has
access
to
the
internet.
G
The
last
couple
of
things
I
want
to
touch
on
before
we
go
to
the
next
slide
is
the
the
process
the
government
put
together
in
doing
this
round
of
funding
was
to
prepare
cities
and
towns,
states
and
schools
for
another
event
like
this
another
pandemic,
another
catastrophic
event:
the
goal
is
to
be
prepared
and
not
have
the
downtime
in
the
economic
loss.
G
The
last
slide
is
areas
that,
when
I
did
the
research
and
was
did
a
few
of
the
seminars,
these
are
some
of
the
ideas
that
came
across
that
were
more
in
the
majority
and
more
what
cities
and
towns
and
states
were
doing,
whether
it
was
you
know,
clean
up,
stormwater,
holding
ponds,
community
development
for
housing,
replacement
of
asbestos
and
lead
pipes
right
down
to
the
last
one
of
capital,
investments
in
public
facilities.
G
G
So
the
last
thing
I
wanted
to
do
prior
to
any
of
the
council's
questions.
So
in
our
last
meeting
I
did
a
spreadsheet
and
had
a
calculation,
so
we
had
roughly
50
people
or
so
that
participated
in
the
meeting.
We
had
18
people
who
spoke
and
there
was
an
abundance
of
questions
out
of
the
18
people.
G
H
G
18
people
there
was
about
nine
or
so
people
who
asked
about
housing
just
based
in
this
presentation,
housing
in
some
way
shape
or
form
based
on
what
the
decision
would
be
would
be
covered.
G
There
were
two
people
who
spoke
about
broadband
and
obviously
broadbrand
infrastructure
is
one
of
the
items
that
would
be
covered
again.
It's
just
what
plan
gets
put
in
place.
We
had
two
people
speak
about
additional
tree
planting,
I'm
going
to
give
a
broad
statement.
It
can
be
covered,
but
I
think
it
comes
along
with
other
projects
where
additional
trees
will
be
planted.
I'm
waiting
to
hear
back
to
see
if
there
is
a
specific
area
that
would
fall
under
just
to
allocate
funding
to
do
additional
plantings
across
the
city.
G
G
One
person
had
a
question
about
preparing
for
preparing
for
the
next
pandemic.
Obviously,
that's
what
the
plan
is
for
one
person
had
a
question
about
solar
panels.
G
G
We
had
revenue
loss,
which
we
know
was
covered.
One
other
person
had
asked
about
the
indoor
shooting
range.
I
have
to
do
more
research
on
that
to
see
if
that
would
be
considered
public
safety,
so
I
don't
have
a
definitive
answer.
G
And
lastly,
there
was
one
person
who
asked
about
funding
the
opec-
and
I
spoke
with
director
strom
and
if
director
schram
wants
to
add
to
it,
but
we're
currently
are
on
track
going
forward
based
on
what
our
percentage
of
calculation
is.
So
I'll
let
the
director
strong
just
elaborate
on
that
item.
If
he
would
like
to.
E
Thank
you
david.
Yes,
we
a
couple
of
years
ago,
we
did
not
fund
the
oped
at
a
100.
We
basically
funded
it
at
50
to
have
a
balanced
budget
we've
since
made
that
up
in
the
last
year,
and
we
intend
to
do
it
going
forward.
E
The
actuarial
report
reflects
that
short
payment,
so
it
has
been
recaptured
in
the
actuarial
report
and
in
the
ark
that
we're
going
to
be
paying
this
year
and
next
year,
so
we
have
made
up
for
that.
Fortunately,
our
rate
of
return
of
our
investments
have
been
very
good
and
overall
right
now
between
the
pension
fund
for
next
year
and
the
opeb
contribution
for
next
year.
E
If
you
combine
the
two
it's
going
to
be
less
than
what
we
contributed
for
this
year,
so
I
feel
that
we've
been
able
to
make
up
that
difference,
and
I
don't
think
that
it
would
be
necessary
to
fund
the
opeb
contribution
any
more
than
what
we're
doing
going
forward
here
for
22.
G
G
Thank
you
director
very
much
and,
lastly,
it
kind
of
include
in
closing,
you
know,
no
matter
what
decisions
are
made
with
any
of
the
funding.
G
I
think
we
all
have
to
realize
it's
an
opportunity
to
bring
cranston
up
to
speed
in
a
lot
of
areas
and
that
we
can't
miss
out
on
building
a
better
foundation
going
forward
with
doing
infrastructure
and
doing
things
that
will
never
end.
We
need
reoccurring
items,
we
need
plans
and
programs
and
projects
that
are
going
to
last
for
a
longer
period
of
time.
G
A
Thank
you,
mr
demeo.
At
this
time,
I'd
like
to
ask
if
the
finance
director
robert
strom,
has
anything
to
add
to
david's
presentation
or
anything
that
you
wanted
to
put
in
yourself.
E
E
I
will
say
who
at
this
point
but
there's
one
candidate
that
I
feel
is
stronger
than
the
other,
that
I
think
the
council
will
be
happy
to
support
both
bids
based
on
the
resolution
of
25
000
is
under
they're,
both
under
20
000,
actually,
it's
just
slightly
on
them
and
that
will
be
disclosed
at
bow
cap
on
tuesday,
but
I
think
a
couple
of
things
that
were
brought
up
during
that
discussion
about
the
resolution
was
that
the
company
that
again,
I
don't
want
to
disclose
it
yet
one
of
the
companies
is
a
minority
business
and
also
will
be
polling
both
in
english
and
spanish,
and
I
think
that
was
something
that
was
asked
about
and
was
hoping
that
could
get
accomplished
through
the
resolution.
E
So
that's
a
positive
we
I
have
been
receiving
from
various
departments.
Specifically
public
works
fire
I.t
for
broadband
things
that
are
applicable.
That
could
be
helpful
specifically
in
I.t
cyber
security.
That's
something
that's!
E
E
Fire
was
looking
for
some
infrastructure
and
also
some
equipment,
and
also
parks
and
recreation,
we're
looking
at
some
recreation
facilities
and
things
that
would
enhance
the
facilities
that
are
currently
being
used
and
possibly
even
having
some
additional
project
done.
So
these
are
all
things
that
we're
looking
at.
I
believe,
obviously
based
on
the
ordinance
the
council
it'll
be
brought
to
the
council
when
we
do
have
a
a
list
of
items
and
hopefully
we'll
get.
E
Coming
from
a
financial
background,
be
cautious,
be
somewhat
conservative
how
we
spend
the
money,
because
we
do
not
want
to
create
any
type
of
structural
deficit
down
the
road
in
the
two
or
three
or
four
years
from
now.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
whatever
we
do,
we're
going
to
try
to
maintain
the
same
level
of
services,
but
not
impose
a
tax
burden
on
the
citizens
of
the
city,
and
so
that's
all
on
the
table
to
be
discussed
as
well
and
that's
about
it.
A
Thank
you,
director,
strom,
at
this
time
with
the
administration
like
to
weigh
in
on
any
comments
they'd
like
to
make
about
the
opera
funding.
I
Sure
thing
councilman,
the
only
thing
I'd
really
want
to
pass
along
is
mr
straw,
mentioning
some
projects
that
he
received.
I
guess
from
departments
up
in
the
third
floor.
There
are
no
preconceived
notions,
we're
here
to
listen
to
the
public
and
we
happy
to
hear
from
the
public
before
much
going
down
the
path
of
and
making
any
recommendations.
A
Thank
you,
director,
moretti
before
we
move
on
to
the
any
council
members.
Having
any
comments,
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
something
at
the
beginning
of
director.
Strom's
talk
just
now.
What
he
was
referring
to
was
the
city
is
going
to
conduct
a
poll
asking
people
citizens
what
they
think
we
should
do
with
the
money.
Besides
this
forum-
and
there
is
also
going
to
be
a
survey
conducted
by
the
council-
so
there's
going
to
be
three
different
ways:
we're
asking
people
how
we
should
spend
the
money.
A
So
there's
going
to
be
a
poll
that
the
cities
the
city
administration
is
going
to
take
care
of
the
council
is
doing
these
two
forums
and
also
the
council
is
doing
a
survey.
So
there's
going
to
be.
After
all,
three
of
those
things
are
done,
then
we're
going
to
sit
down
and
start
meeting
on
the
best
use
for
the
money.
A
F
Thank
you,
council,
vice
president
ferry,
nothing
specific
to
the
to
the
funds
themselves.
This
evening,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
again
to
everyone
that
is
here
this
evening
from
the
public
to
participate.
J
Hi,
thank
you
councilman
ferry.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that,
in
regards
to
the
survey
right
now,
councilman
vargas
and
I
have
worked
with
order
demayo
on
it
and
councilman
councilwoman
vargas
is
currently
doing
some
translation
in
spanish
and
as
soon
as
that
is
all
set,
the
city
will
have
a
web
page
up
that
we
can
place
the
survey
both
surveys
on
in
spanish
and
in
english,
and
I
just
don't
want
to
give
an
exact
date.
J
We
want
it
to
be
out
for
30
days
and
I
don't
have
an
exact
date
until
it's
completely
translated
and
up
on
the
website,
but
so
stay
tuned.
For
that
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
the
progress.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
move
on
to
public
comments.
So
if
you
are
a
member
of
the
meeting
right
now,
please
raise
your
hand
if
you
would
like
to
make
public
comment
in
reference
to
how
the
city
should
spend
the
opera
funds
we're
going
to
limit
your
testimony
to
four
minutes
and
please
try
and
stay
on
target
to
the
topics
that
audited
demayo
referred
to.
A
F
A
K
I
am
claire
stottmoller
of
9637
mile
road
on
january
27th
meeting
my
colleague
sheila
ressiger,
and
I
provided
information
on
why
in
spending
arpa
money
on
broadband,
it
must
be
the
safe,
fast
cost,
effective
future
proof,
wired
fiber
to
the
premises
and
not
the
wireless
that
is
a
pollutant,
pulsing,
microwave
radiation
at
dangerous
levels,
while
guzzling
energy
and
enabling
surveillance
and
mr
strom
talked
about
hacking
tonight,
and
I
failed
I'm
sorry,
mr
strom,
I
will
have
to
email
you
the
same
letter
that
I
provided
to
mr
demaio
and
all
the
city
council
members
and
the
mayor,
as
we
said
in
response
to
the
talk
about
smart
meters.
K
So
I
prefaced
that
letter
by
saying
that
one's
area
of
expertise
may
prevent
one
from
knowing
the
whole
picture
on
so-called
smart
meters
and
the
brand
5g,
because
they're
only
24
hours
in
a
day.
I
will
preface
my
abbreviated
salient
points
tonight
on
dangerous
radiation.
By
getting
a
little
personal,
I
am
an
opera
singer
not
to
be
confused
with
arpa,
but
I
am
an
opera
singer
and
former
college
music
professor.
K
I
do
not
enjoy
reading
about
radiation
and
gigahertz,
yet
I
have
for
three
years
because
I
have
a
passion
for
truth
and
for
healthy
living,
which
I
would
like
to
share
with
my
fellow
rhode
islanders
to
protect
them
and
the
pollinators
on
which
we
depend.
I
dedicate
a
great
deal
of
time
and
energy
at
the
detriment
of
my
own
financial
well-being.
K
So
in
future
I
would
appreciate
receiving
a
simple
reply
to
the
emails
I
send
for
the
sake
of
clarity
in
communication
and
for
the
simple
respect
any
active
constituent
deserves.
So
now
I
will
go
forward
with
my
content.
I
can
always
resend
those
emails,
but
I
heard
no
response
so
in
summarizing
what
I
sent
in
my
emails
and
then
I
will
also
provide
it
to
you,
mr
strom.
K
You
need
to
be
aware
that
so-called
smart
meters
pulse
microwave
radiation
into
homes,
even
a
neighbor's
smart
meter,
can
reach
another
person's
home.
I
provided
a
three-minute
video
which
shows
the
change
in
cell
structure
when
exposed
to
the
assault
for
only
two
minutes,
and
it
is
an
assault.
A
smart
meter,
assaults,
the
people
in
the
house
with
microwave
radiation.
K
I
provided
a
website
with
a
plethora
of
information
about
the
reasons
to
avoid
smart
meters
for
measuring
gas,
water
and
electricity.
People
across
the
country
have
been
sickened
by
this
radiation,
and
states
such
as
massachusetts
are
considering
bills
to
allow
residents
to
opt
out
without
a
fee
how
much
more,
prudent
and
financially
wise.
It
is
to
prevent
the
wholesale
installation
of
these
meters.
In
the
first
place.
K
Smart
meters
have
risks
for
security,
because
secure
wires,
protect
your
data
and
are,
without
that
they
can
be
hacked
into
so-called
public-private
partnerships
inevitably
tend
to
introduce
inherent
conflicts
of
interest
between
the
public
and
private
for-profit
investors.
K
I
provided
a
link
to
a
science
page
that
addresses
mr
dimeo.
You
had
brought
up
such
wonderful
goals,
wonderful
goals.
These
can
all
be
addressed
with
fiber
to
the
premises.
You
mentioned
mental
health
for
first
responders.
K
Please
note
that
in
california,
firefighters
ability
to
do
their
jobs
was
hampered
by
exposure
to
only
3g.
Now
we're
talking,
5g
yeah.
K
Yes,
all
right,
mr
dimayo,
you
had
wonderful
goals
in
protecting
public
health
safety,
averting
the
next
emergency,
and
I
would
say
that
fiber
to
the
premise
is
not.
I
scientists,
doctors,
thousands
of
them
fiber
to
the
premises,
meets
these
goals
and
wireless
broadband
defeats.
K
These
goals,
gloucester
just
on
january
11th,
voted
unanimously
with
no
discussion
to
connect
its
public
buildings
with
fiber,
I'm
hoping
to
get
their
it
director
to
talk
to
cranston's
id
it
director.
I
will
resend
my
email,
which
has
all
those
links
and
thank
you.
M
Yes,
hi.
Thank
you.
My
name
is
warren
hayman.
I
live
at
70,
arnold
avenue
in
the
edgewood
part
of
the
city,
and
thank
you
for
having
this
evening's
hearing
and
the
last
hearing.
I
want
to
just
speak
on
behalf
of
the
issue
about
trees,
and
I
I
heard
mr
dimayo's
comments
about
the
research
he's
doing
on
that.
So
obviously
would
defer
to
that,
but
I
want
to
just
say
that
adding
trees
to
our
community,
I
think,
will
help
in
the
mental
health
of
the
people
that
live
here
areas.
M
There's
a
lot
of
studies
that
have
shown
that
trees,
communities
with
a
lot
of
trees
have
less
violence
as
kids
do
better
in
school,
etc.
The
city
on
on
an
annual
basis
cuts
down
about.
I
think
it's
200
trees
per
year
according
to
the
city's
tree
warden.
So,
but
right
now
the
city
allocates
about
ten
thousand
dollars
for
the
purchase
of
new
trees,
which
allows
us
to
buy
about
25
new
trees.
M
So
if
we
were
to
increase
that
as
we're
suggesting
from
10
000
to
20
000,
it
would
still
mean
that
the
net
loss
of
trees
per
year
is
around
150,
which
does
not
have
us
going
in
the
right
direction.
If
we're
trying
to
expand
the
canopy,
which
is
again
helpful
to
the
mental
health
of
the
people
that
live
here
so
just
want
to
put
a
marker
down
for
increasing,
if
possible,
from
ten
thousand
dollars
a
year
to
twenty
thousand
dollars
a
year.
M
M
N
Sure
annette
bourne
51
community
drive
good
evening.
I
am
honored
to
be
speaking
to
you
tonight
on
behalf
of
the
cranston
housing
commission.
In
my
capacity
as
newly
elected
chair,
mr
vice
president,
we
communicated
in
a
letter
to
president
paplowskis
dated
february
7th
that
at
the
cranston
housing
commission
meeting
of
february
2nd
the
membership
voted
to
endorse
a
plan
which
I
am
about
to
enjo
introduce
for
the
use
of
a
portion
of
the
city's
arpa
funds
toward
the
city's
housing
needs.
N
N
One
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
toward
homelessness
diversion
this
funding
would
support
homelessness,
diversion
grants
of
no
more
than
five
thousand
dollars
to
address
emergency
household
costs.
To
prevent
homelessness,
eligible
households
would
need
to
earn
below
50
percent
of
area
median
income,
which
again
for
a
family
of
three
right
now,
would
be
thirty.
Eight
thousand
nine
hundred
fifty
dollars
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
landlord
incentive
grants.
This
funding
would
provide
incentives
to
landlords
to
rent,
to
tenants
with
rental
assistance
vouchers,
as
well
as
grants
to
bring
apartments
up
to
housing.
Quality
standards.
N
A
Thank
you
very
much,
and
it's
obvious
that
you
have
really
done
your
homework
and
we
we
are
really
going
to
take
a
good
look
at
what
you're
presenting.
Thank
you,
mr
lima.
Next
person
harrison
tuttle.
O
O
I
just
want
to
mention
for
the
record
that
my
two
questions
regarding
important
issues
regarding
equity
and
affordable
housing
from
the
prior
arpa
meeting
had
not
been
answered,
despite
this
council
saying
that
they
would
get
back
to
me.
So
if
you
know,
members
of
the
council
could
do
that,
but
today
I
wanted
to
stress
the
importance
of
why
we
need
to
spend
this
generational
opportunity
in
a
way
that
centers
black
indigenous
people
of
color
in
our
city.
O
That
is
why
today
collaboratively,
I
joined
multiple
cranston
residents,
creating
a
way
to
spend
our
american
rescue
plan
dollars
and
it
included
multiple
community-based
solutions
to
invest
in
our
bipod
community.
Here
in
cranston,
one
of
the
recommendations
included
the
cranston
equity
rescue
plan,
which
would
create
a
commission
appointed
by
the
city
council
made
up
of
bypoc
residents,
which
would
be
able
to
identify
the
disparities
caused
by
the
pandemic,
included
economic,
educational
and
health,
and
offer
target
support
to
residents
all
within
the
guidelines
of
this
offer.
O
You
know
it
is
time
that
our
cranston
law
enforcement
has
the
proper
tools
to
respond
more
safely
and
compassionately
with
people
who
have
serious
mental
illness
crisis.
Intervention,
training
or
cit
as
commonly
known,
gives
officers
options
other
than
arrest
and
incarceration
when
they
encounter
people
with
mental
illnesses,
and
I
think
it's
really
time
that
cranston
looks
to
improve
public
safety
using
this
once
in
a
generation
opportunity
for
people
of
color
and
I'll
end
by
saying,
throughout
the
course
of
this
city's
history.
O
Addressing
these
types
of
issues
have
been
made
second
priority
when
it
came
to
addressing
racial
equity
and
inequalities.
This
is
your
chance,
as
members
of
the
city
council,
to
change
the
way
cranston
deals
with
systemic
racism
and
disparities
from
the
clover
19
pandemic
and
I'll
finally
say
that.
My
hope
is
that
this
city
council
really
does
a
better
job
when
communicating
meetings
like
this
and
getting
back
to
residence-
and
I
encourage
every
single
one
of
you
to
look
at
the
proposal
that
I
jointly
submitted
to
all
of
you
in
the
clerk.
Thank
you.
C
P
P
P
I
believe
that
it's
everyone's
right
to
have
clean
and
safe
drinking
water,
and
it
shouldn't
just
be
for
the
people
who
are
able
to
afford
to
replace
the
pipes
that
are
coming
into
their
homes.
There
are
cities
in
the
state
of
rhode
island
that
have
been
doing
this
for
their
residents,
and
I
think
this
would
be
an
opportunity
for
the
city
to
make
sure
that
every
rhode,
island,
cranston
resident
at
least,
has
access
to
safe,
clean
drinking
water
that
goes
into
their
homes.
Q
Q
11
paul
place.
Thank
you,
okay.
I
just
wanted
to
support
the
housing
initiative
and-
and
thinking
about
that
I
was
glad
to
hear
a
previous
speaker
actually
articulate
a
very
extensive
plan,
and
I
just
wanted
to
emphasize
that.
I
hope
that
the
council
realizes
that
there
are
many
opportunities
and
ways
of
approaching
this
and
not
get
stuck
that
this
can't
be
done.
Q
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
one
that
is
going
on
currently
in
the
hartford
connecticut
area
called
the
south
side
institutions,
neighborhood
alliance,
which
has
taken
a
number
of
not-for-profit
and
profit
organizations
and
with
funding
from
county
and
state
programs,
have
been
able
to
put
what
they
call
the
cena
cityscape
project,
which
provides
housing
opportunities
for
first-time
home
buyers
through
the
purchase
and
rehabilitation
of
boarded
up
tax,
delinquent
and
abandoned
homes
in
the
in
in
hartford.
Q
The
program
now
in
phase
seven
will
create
four
new
home
ownership
opportunities.
When
the
renovation
work
is
complete,
the
properties
will
be
available
for
purchase
by
low
and
moderate
income,
first-time
home
buyers.
There
will
be
11
housing
units
on
the
market
for
home
ownership
opportunities
and
seven
rental
units,
thus
far.
The
partnership
between
the
four
local
organizations
has
led
to
83
redeveloped
buildings
for
new
home
buyers
in
recent
years.
Q
Q
Public
safety
provides
a
family
with
a
healthy
income
in
which
to
build
generational
wealth
and
gives
the
community
a
committed
neighbor,
who
will
take
pride
in
their
property,
and
I
think
that's
what
cranston
needs
is
a
way
to
get
more
and
more
people
committed
to
cranston
take
pride
in
our
city,
and
I
think
housing
is
the
key
to
this.
Thank
you.
L
Hi
david
baldwin
67
fourteen
avenue
and
I'm
just
a
private
citizen,
but
if
I
had
just
gone
through
a
pandemic
and
I
had
a
bunch
of
money
to
spend,
I
would
be
well
I
have
to.
I
would
be
spending
at
first
of
all
on
on
making
sure
that
my
systems
were
solid
for
the
next
time.
This
happens.
L
So
that
means
making
sure
that
not
only
do
we
have
safe
drinking
water,
but
that
we
can
get
rid
of
the
water
that
falls
on
the
city
so
that
we
don't
end
up
flooding
anywhere,
putting
in
good
good
old-fashioned
ground-based
broadband
for
the
city.
So
especially
anything
the
city
can
do
to
provide
its
own
broadband
or
make
sure
that
it
has
broadband.
L
If
broadband
from
the
major
providers
would
become
unavailable
for
some
reason
or
become
too
rarified
to
be
operable
in
a
in
an
emergency
and
housing
to
get
people
off
the
street
to
make
sure
that
there
were
people
who
had
a
place
to
go
whatever
was
happening.
But
I
also
had
a
question
which
was:
does
the
city
have
any
kind
of
audit
or
compilation
of
effects
of
the
pandemic
on
the
city?
L
Such
that
we
have
some
profile
of
knowing
how
the
pandemic
affected
cranston
and
you
know
where
it
hurt
and
what
we
might
want
to
fix
so
that
we
don't
get
hurt
that
bad
in
that
way.
The
next
time.
That
would
be
my
question
to
the
council
and
you
don't
have
to
answer
it
right
this
minute.
But
I
would
raise
that
question
for
the
council
to
consider.
A
Anything
else,
that's
it.
Thank
you
very
much
director
strom
in
order
to
demayo.
Could
you
please
make
note
of
that
question,
so
we
can
get
back
to
mr
baldwin
at
another
time.
R
R
I
was
seven
years
old
when
hurricane
sandy
hit
rhode
island,
I
didn't
understand
what
was
going
on
or
why
there
was
water.
In
my
basement
I
was
scared
of
that
water.
Even
with
my
bright
pink
boots
on
our
driveway
was
flooded.
I
looked
out
my
window
and
a
family
was
canoeing.
My
neighbor's
backyard,
a
space
that
was
a
field
of
grass
just
the
day
before
ever
since
that
day,
whenever
it
rains
too
hard.
I
go
down
to
my
basement
and
make
sure
nothing
paper
is
touching
the
ground
for
fear.
There
might
be
another
flood.
R
This
is
a
once
in
a
lifetime
opportunity
for
you
to
ensure
that
no
other
childs
in
this
city
has
to
be
introduced
to
the
climate
crisis.
As
horrifically
as
I
was.
It
is
critical
that
this
state
invest
in
resiliency
infrastructure
infrastructure
to
mitigate
flooding,
including
rain,
passionate
landscaping,
pocket
parks,
street
trees
and
other
sustainable
interventions
in
front
line
communities.
The
climate
crisis
is
certainly
here
and
affecting
families
across
cranston.
It's
time
that
it
is
finally
addressed.
It
is
time
that
I
no
longer
live
in
fear
of
storms.
R
Additionally,
it
is
also
critical
that
cranston
starts
to
consider
clean
water.
A
human
right
cranston
must
invest
in
creating
a
fund
that
would
provide
grants
to
replace
private
side
lead
service
pipes
for
lower
income
homeowners.
There
are
six
thousand
one
hundred
and
fourteen
private
side
lead
service
pipes
remaining
in
the
city
of
cranston.
This
is
unacceptable.
R
Our
city
deserves
clean
drinking
water.
Again
I
remind
you,
we
have
the
money
to
make
sure
everyone
in
this
city
has
what
they
need
to
be
successful.
And
again
I
ask:
do
you
want
to
be
the
council
members
who
simply
lowered
taxes,
or
you
want
to
be
the
council
members
that
created
a
livable
city?
My
question
for
you
tonight
again
is:
how
big
will
you
dream?
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
hope
you
forgot
your
night.
D
Good
evening
my
name
is
bill
mcelini.
I
live
at
45
pasture
view
lane.
First
of
all,
thank
you
to
this
to
the
council
for
scheduling
this
special
meeting
to
collect
public
input.
I'm
certainly
going
to
take
advantage
of
the
opportunity
to
have
my
voice
heard.
D
Having
heard
some
of
the
previous
speakers,
my
issue
is,
maybe
well
is
certainly
much
smaller
in
scale
and
scope,
but
maybe
no
less
important
in
the
long
run,
because
it's
a
public
safety
issue
in
this
case
regarding
the
bike
path-
and
I
might
first
mention
that
the
term
bike
path
is
a
bit
of
a
misnomer.
D
D
I'm
not
exactly
sure
how
you
would
implement
this,
I'm
not
suggesting
a
full-blown
stop
light
with
a
pedestrian
button,
but
there
may
be
some
kind
of
warning
signal
to
let
the
cars
know
if
there
could
be
somebody
coming
along
popping
out
from.
In
many
cases,
these
intersections
are
kind
of
screened
by
trees
and
and
other
infrastructure
just
a
way
to
let
them
know
there
might
be
something
coming.
D
By
way
of
example,
I
would
recommend
main
street
in
coventry.
Main
street
is
also
route
117
in
carpentry,
where
there
seems
to
be
some
kind
of
system
in
play
where,
when
somebody
approaches
on
the
bike
path,
it
triggers
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
a
flashing
light
or
whether
it's
a
red
light
or
a
yellow
light,
but
some
kind
of
warning
to
the
cars
that
there's
people
coming
one
way
or
another.
D
D
I
would
suggest
four
different
locations
where
we
might
want
to
put
some
kind
of
light
in
place
from
the
north
from
the
north
end
of
the
city
at
garfield
street
outside
of
lowe's,
then
again,
further
south
at
dyer
avenue
and
again
at
uxbridge
street,
and
maybe
at
sherman
avenue
short
and
sweet
again.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
S
Good
evening
my
name
is
christina
brown.
I
live
at
217
armington
street.
Thank
you,
council,
vice
president
and
members
of
the
council
for
the
chance
to
speak
tonight.
As
you
already
are
aware,
the
arpa
funds
represent
a
chance
to
mitigate
the
disparities
caused
by
the
pandemic
and
invest
in
our
communities
to
bolster
a
resilient
future.
S
As
you
know,
we
do
not
meet
the
statutory
obligation
of
maintaining
10
percent
of
affordable
housing
and
we
haven't
built
any
new,
affordable
low
to
moderate
income
housing
units.
In
over
a
decade
we
have
at
least
20
72
homeless,
students
in
our
public
schools
and
our
neighborhoods
have
gotten
more
expensive
over
the
pandemic,
offering
less
housing
options.
S
These
funds
can
create
a
pathway
to
making
cranston
a
resilient
community
where
all
residents
have
a
safe,
affordable,
healthy
home
and,
due
to
the
time
it
takes
to
build
housing.
Any
allocation
you
are
considering
to
address
this
issue
needs
to
be
approved
as
soon
as
possible
to
make
a
meaningful
impact.
S
The
13
million
also
includes
2
million
for
home
repair
funds
to
assist
homeowners,
specifically
landlords
and
bringing
their
units
up
to
minimum
housing
standards
required
by
law,
including
lead,
safe
certificates.
The
remaining
funds
include
line
items
for
permanent
supportive
housing
and
emergency
housing
solutions
to
assist
our
housing,
insecure
and
unsheltered
neighbors.
S
Additionally,
we
I
want
to
thank
you
for
outlining
the
efforts
to
engage
residents
further
with
the
survey
and
other
public
input
that
you
are
going
to
take
on,
but
I'm
wondering
how
you
will
proceed
in
notifying
residents.
As
you
decide
to
spend
these
funds
and
another
question
I
have,
or
I
would
urge
you
to
administer
the
survey
in
more
languages
than
just
english
and
spanish,
as
we
have
a
significant
asian
population
and
southeast
asian
population
in
the
city.
T
My
name
is
michael
beauregard
from
136
bluff
avenue,
and
I
want
to
start
by
thanking
councillors,
fairy
mourinho
and
donegan
for
being
here
tonight
to
listen
to
the
testimony
and
thank
you
also
for
taking
the
lead
on
these
meetings.
So
I'll
keep
my
comments
brief.
I
have
a
few
things
to
touch
upon
so
first
off
I
just
want
to
make
a
mention
for
prioritizing
some
amount
of
arpa
funding
to
address
the
child
care
crisis.
T
That's
ongoing
across
the
state,
but
particularly
in
cranston
as
a
very
new
parent
who
has
two
sons
who
I
was
lucky
to
be
able
to
get
into
child
care,
I'm
currently
looking
at
somewhere
between
23
and
25
of
our
household
income
going
to
covering
that
cost,
and
so
I
know
I'm
actually
doing
relatively
much
better
than
most
in
the
city
and
can
only
imagine
what
you
know
kind
of
medium
income.
Families
must
be
going
through.
T
I
saw
many
providers
that
were
looking
at
300
400
a
week
for
child
care
services,
and
so
this
is
really
clearly
unsustainable
and
not
accessible
to
a
whole
wide
range
of
folks.
Thankfully,
there
was
a
program
that
opened
last
month
in
my
neighborhood,
and
so
that
was
the
only
way
I
was
able
to
get
in.
Otherwise
I
would
have
been
looking
at
six
to
nine
month
waiting
periods,
I'd
also
like
to
put
a
plug
in
for
the
trees
proposal
that
has
been
previously
mentioned.
T
I
think
eighty
thousand
dollars
is
a
relative
drop
in
the
bucket
for
the
amount
of
funding
and
is
certainly
something
we
should
be
looking
at
in
terms
of
the
sustainability
and
green
impact
that
that
kind
of
an
investment
might
have
across
the
city.
I
also
would
like
to
support
the
idea
of
the
led
remediation
funding
or
support
for
lead
remediation,
particularly
not
the
mains,
but
the
leads
for
houses.
T
As
previous
speakers
have
noted,
it's
really
inaccessible
for
a
lot
of
households
across
the
city
to
support
the
cost
of
do
replacing
their
lead
leads
for
their
house
and
that's
where
we
know
a
lot
of
the
contamination
happens,
and
my
house,
you
know,
being
over
100
years
old,
has
pretty
high
lead
levels.
So,
as
a
new
parent,
I'm
really
concerned
about
that
and
also
mentioned
that
the
federal
infrastructure
bill
that
was
passed
recently
has
2.9
billion
dollars
for
lead.
T
Remediation
and
rhode
island
is
slated
to
receive
two
billion
dollars
from
that
that
bill.
So
I
would
encourage
the
council
to
be
aggressive
in
lobbying
our
state
leaders
to
see
what
funding
we
can
procure
from
that
and
not
try
not
to
use
arpa
funds
for
this
if
possible,
and
then.
Finally,
I
also
want
to
definitely
support
the
previous
proposals
for
housing
as
what
was
presented
by
netborn
and
the
housing
group
that
she's
been
a
part
of.
T
Certainly,
I
think
housing
is
really
inaccessible
for
a
lot
of
our
median
and
lower
income
residents,
and
so
I'm
just
being
thoughtful
about
what
we
can
do
with
the
money
we
have
and
the
timeline.
We
have
to
spend
it
to
try
and
really
make
some
impact
for
those
who
are
most
housing
insecure
in
the
city
in
particular,
I
think
some
of
the
proposals
around
repairs
and
and
making
you
know
kind
of
bridging
the
gap
for
folks
who
are
unable
to
purchase,
I
think,
would
be
really
thoughtful.
T
Investments
and
finally,
I
just
want
to
again
thank
the
counselors
who
are
here
today.
I
know
you
have
been
leading
the
charge.
T
Some
there
has
been
a
intent,
I
believe,
to
do
a
survey,
but
as
far
as
I
understand,
it's
been
over
three
months
and
a
survey
has
not
been
put
out
by
the
administration
or
the
council,
and
I
do
want
to
be
mindful
about
making
sure
that
we
get
that
out
in
the
near
future,
so
that
there's
sufficient
time
for
that
to
be
responded
to
as
well
as
for
that
to
inform
the
process,
I
think
we're
getting
close
to
march
and
the
need
to
start
to
come
to
some
recommendations.
T
I
mean
I
would
also
just
like
to
reiterate
what
christina
mentioned
earlier,
about
the
need
to
communicate
out
the
decision-making
process,
because
that
seems
like
that
would
be
of
great
value
to
residents
to
understand
how
priorities
were
set
for
this
funding.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
I
really
appreciate
your
having
these
hearings,
so
thank
you.
B
Hi
there.
Thank
you
very
much.
My
name
is
candace
brown
casey,
I'm
a
resident
of
68
nole
wood
avenue
in
ward
3..
First.
I
just
want
to
echo
a
lot
of
the
sentiments
that
we've
heard
tonight
and
at
the
previous
meeting,
especially
as
pertain
to
housing,
affordable
housing.
In
particular.
I
just
bought
my
first
house
back
in
january
of
last
year
and
decided
to
move
toward
to
from
warwick
to
cranston.
B
It
was
absolutely
the
right
choice
and
it's
just
important
that
you
know
all
of
our
neighbors
have
the
same
opportunity
for
housing
security,
especially
when
we
have
this
influx
of
of
money
to
to
assist,
and
I'd
also
like
to
to
loan
my
voice
to
the
calls
for
attention
to
be
paid
to
child
care,
as
we've
heard
repeatedly
in
the
news,
women
in
particular
and
mothers
have
been
hard
hit
by
job
losses
during
the
pandemic,
particularly
due
to
issues
with
child
care.
B
Localities
can
utilize
arpa
funds
to
prevent
or
address
gun
violence
in
cities,
because
we
know
that
increases
in
rates
of
gun,
violence
in
our
communities
can
be
traced
to
the
onset
of
the
pandemic
and
violence.
Intervention
professionals
are
performing
essential,
frontline
work
to
protect
public
health
and
interrupt
gun
violence.
B
Since
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
there
have
been
at
least
five
shootings
in
my
ward
ward,
three,
including
a
recent
shooting
on
cranston
street,
and
therefore
I
urge
cranston
to
take
an
important
step
towards
ending
gun
violence
by
using
a
portion
of
the
american
rescue
plan,
act.
Funds
to
support
community
violence,
intervention
programs,
which
will
help
decrease,
gun
violence
and
I'll
also
I'll,
be
forwarding
a
a
longer
written
version
of
how
these
funds
can
be
used
for
for
community
violence.
Intervention
programs.
B
But
I
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
and
the
opportunity
to
to
present
these
ideas
tonight.
Thank
you.
A
Is
there
anyone
else
in
the
public
that
would
like
to
testify
this
evening?
Please
raise
your
hand.
I
A
A
If
you
want
to
raise
your
hand
on
and
you're
on
a
a
cell
phone,
it's
star
nine
to
raise
your
hand
and
it's
star
six
to
unmute.
So
is
there
anyone
from
the
public
that
would
like
to
speak
heather
typical
up
briefly
heather.
C
U
U
I
practiced
what
I'm
gonna
say
and
I
clocked
in
at
under
two
minutes,
so
I
volunteer
for
the
cranston
neighborhood
tree
planting
program.
My
paid
job
is
licensed
clinical
social
worker.
So
I
see
a
lot
of
mental
health
fallout
from
covid.
U
I
worked
from
home
during
the
height
of
the
covet
pandemic,
my
living
room
to
be
exact,
and
not
that
I
was
slacking
on
the
job,
but
looking
out
my
front
window
during
that
time,
I
noticed
a
lot
of
people
out
walking
more
neighbors
than
I
ever
even
thought
I
had
when
I
worked
in
my
garden.
I
saw
many
more
people
outside
in
their
yards
being
in
nature.
Helps
people
deal
with
the
stress
of
social
isolation.
U
U
I
ask
you
to
consider
increasing
the
cranston
neighborhood
tree
planting
budget,
which
has
remained
the
same
for
seven
years,
because
trees
provide
many
environmental
and
public
health
benefits.
I'm
almost
done.
Funding
for
increased
tree
planting
in
urban
areas
fits
arpa
goals
for
public
health,
improving
mental
health,
health
and
environment,
including
storm
water
issues.
U
In
my
last
point,
trees,
as
sara
lee
mentioned
at
the
last
meeting,
are
essential
to
consider
when
building
affordable
housing
or
any
other
structure
trees
mitigate
flooding,
which
we're
seeing
a
lot
more
of.
I
urge
you
to
consider
trees
as
a
tool
for
mitigating
flooding
in
themselves,
not
just
as
an
add-on
to
another
project.
U
Last
point:
one
mature
oak
can
absorb
50
to
200
gallons
of
storm
water
per
day.
That's
a
lot
of
water!
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
your
consideration
whether
you
have
two
minutes
left,
I'm
good.
Thank
you
just
thank
you
all
for
your
community
service,
because
you
guys
have
a
hard
job
and
I
go
to
some
of
those
meetings
and
it's
a
long
day
for
you.
So
I
really
thank
you
all.
A
Okay,
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
close
public
hearings
is
there
anyone
on
the
council?
That
would
like
to
add
anything
before
we
look
for
adjournment
of
the
meeting
tonight.
A
I'd
like
to
ask
auditor
demayo
a
question
did
in
reference
to
a
question
that
was
asked
before
that
we
didn't
answer.
Somebody's
question
was
that
one
of
the
questions
we
had
put
aside
or
is
it
just
something
that
we
we
failed
to
do
because
I
I
want
to
apologize
to
him,
I'm
going
to
probably.
G
The
order
the
affordable
housing
we
kind
of
addressed
even
in
the
opening
comments,
that
was
one
of
the
things
that
he
had
questioned.
So
I
believe
they
were
answered
and
I
wrote
down
the
verbal
questions,
I'm
wondering
if
those
questions
might
have
been
put
up
on
the
screen
that
were
directed
to
the
council
to
respond
to
because
he
had
said
it
was
inequities
and
affordable
housing,
which
we
actually
addressed
under
the
a
broader
scope
that
those
stuffs
could
be
funded.
G
Based
on,
whatever
plans
put
in
place,
we
didn't
specifically
get
to
any
one
item,
but
as
a
broad
scope,
we
did
address
that
those
could
be
addressed,
but
it
just
depends
on
what
plans
would
be
put
in
place.
A
All
right,
I
I
just
think
we
need
to
get
a
hold
of
him
tomorrow
and
just
try
and
clarify
his
question
and
and
see
that
we
do
a
better
job
of
getting
back
to
him
next
time.
Anybody
else
in
the
council
like
to
make
any
comments:
councilwoman
germaine.
H
Thank
you,
council.
Vice
president,
I
don't
have
really
a
lot
of
things
to
say.
I
just
think
all
the
residents
that
took
time
this
afternoon
to
come
to
really
raise
their
voice
and
it's
important
for
us
to
hear
from
them.
So
I
will.
I
ask
them
to
continue
to
show
up
to
raise
their
voice,
because
it's
important
to
get
a
many
perspective
will
from
those
perspectives.
H
We
will
find
the
best
solution
to
really
serve
the
resident
coincidence,
and
also
what
I
would
like
to
add
is
I'm
happy
to
see
a
many
department
have
forward
some
proposals,
so
I
had
a
conversation
with
parking
recreation
and
I
know
what
we
need
forward
to
an
interim
infrastructure
park
and
and
playground,
and
mostly
for
but
long
poles.
So
we
have
a
great
conversation
and
I
hope
that
there
will
be
consideration
as
we
move
forward.
We
can
have
those
program
forward
too,
and
mostly
there
was
a
sewer
problem
since
2020.
H
Since
I
was
appointed,
we
have
a
sewer
problem
in
world
two
and
that's
been
there
for
it
told
me
over
10
years,
and
I
think,
with
this
alpha
money,
we
will
have
a
chance
to
address
this
sewer
problem,
so
I
I'm
really
excited
to
to
hear
more
and
more
and
from
the
survey
and
the
poll.
Thank
you.
J
Hi,
sorry,
I
was
trying
to
find
the
raise
hand
button
on
my
ipad.
I
just
have
a
quick
question
for,
but
maybe
perhaps
director
strom
could
answer
director
strom.
The
recommendations
from
the
council
are
really
the
summary
from
the
council
based
on
what
our
constituents
give
us
for
information
for
their
ideas
and
their
priorities
from
the
poll.
The
survey
and
these
meetings
we
keep
saying
different
dates.
Does
this
need
to
be
aligned
with
the
mayor's
budget?
Or
is
this
a
separate
budget
like
it
could
be
a
separate
budget
item?
Arpa
funds.
E
In
my
opinion,
this
would
be
a
separate
funds,
it's
it
is
a
separate
fund
and
it
would
be
separate
from
the
budget.
J
J
E
And
these
funds
are
going
to
be
utilized
for
whatever
the
administration
and
council
agrees
upon
going
forward.
It's
not
something
has
to
be
acted
upon,
say
by
april
1st
or
adopted
by
may
say
10th.
J
A
Okay,
in
conclusion,
I'd
like
to
thank
everyone
that
attended
the
meeting
tonight,
we're
going
to
work
hard
to
get
this
right
and
we
appreciate
your
support.
Do
I
have
a
motion
to
adjourn.
