Not
sure
what
your
question
was:
I
wasn't
listening,
but
so
the
earliest
we
could
have
it
is
April
6th.
If
we
advertised
it
next
week,
it's
working-
okay,
yes,
but
I
believe
councilman
Donegan
didn't
want
to
make
it
a
special
night.
Just
for
that,
that's
why
we
scheduled
it
wanted,
because
we
would
be
all
already
be
here
for
the
meetings
all.
A
A
C
B
C
E
I
appreciate
everybody
checking
the
dates.
I
had
a
scheduling
conflict,
but
I'll
do
my
best
to
be
here.
It
seems
it's
simple
to
keep
it
the
way
it
is
for
the
way
we
have
it
and
I
don't
know
I,
don't
want
to
potentially
push
the
date
back
any
any
farther
either
I
think
it's
important
for
the
city
to
have
a
Personnel
director.
Thank
you.
A
Yeah,
no
and
and
I
I
understand
I
appreciate
your
if
you
can
make
it
on
the
13th.
If
not
I,
also
appreciate
councilman
donegan's
efforts
to
try
and
accommodate
everybody's
schedule,
and
the
point
is
and
I
think
it
was
made
this
evening
that
if
there
is
a
situation
where
you're
not
going
to
be
able
to
attend-
and
you
want
to,
we
can
try
and
work
something
out,
because
we
will,
the
clerks
have
just
confirmed,
have
enough
days
notice,
not
by
much
maybe
a
couple
of
days,
but
thanks.
F
G
A
G
H
G
H
B
H
I
This
is
a
we're
going
matter
that
comes
before
us,
so
as
I
still
having
those
questions
from
my
constituent
and
that's
why
it's
gonna
be
there
until
we
have
a
solution.
So
this
matter,
where
was
before
us
in
last
month,
it's
a
status
and
update
on
badlandpool
project
and
as
a
we
did
not
have
really
something
concrete
as
a
plane.
I
Last
time
we
have
this
discussion
and
I
remember
says
that
the
project
will
cost
like
seven
million
dollars
and
when
I
asked
him
where
the
seven
million
dollars
will
come
from,
he
did
not
have
an
answer
so
I
hope.
Today
he
has
an
answer
for
us
and
how
this
project
will
break
down
and
what
is
being
discussed.
What
is
planned
because
the
people
need
a
pool,
that's
all
they
need
a
pool
to
cool
off
when
the
heat
comes
back,
because
we
remember
last
year
how
it
was
so
hard.
I
I
I
So
my
hope
tonight
is
to
have
an
answer
where
we
are.
If
we
want
to
do
the
phase
one,
how
much
it's
gonna
cost
to
just
get
the
pool
warning
and
the
best
house
bath
and
all
the
other
features,
so
how
we
can
those
can
come
after
if
we
have
the
money
and
we
know
where
it's
not
the
taxpayer,
that
will
pay
seven
million
dollars.
Thank
you.
J
Good
evening
so
I
spoke
to
Mayor,
Hopkins
and
director
Moretti
today
about
this,
and
the
mayor
has
agreed
with
the
will
of
the
council
and
making
the
project
smaller.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
pool
house
and
a
bath
house
for
that
original
price
of
approximately
3.7
million
next
phase
of
the
project
is
to
go
out
to
engineering
and
he
is
meeting
this
week
with
the
director
zydelis
to
identify
where
that
money
is
going
to
come
from.
I
J
No
I,
I
think,
like
say,
I,
think
the
mayor
listened
to
the
council.
The
Council
made
it,
but
only
clear
at
the
last
meeting
that
they
want
a
bath
house
and
a
pool.
They
don't
want
a
splash
pad.
They
don't
want
the
any
extra
stuff.
That's
part
of
the
project
that
was
originally
being
planned
for
so
the
mayor
is
going
forward
with
that
initial
phase
of
the
pool
and
the
bath
house
for
that
approximate,
3.7
million.
I
J
Is
it
what
this
phase
I
think
that's
going
to
be
up
to
the
engineer
once
we
once
we
get
that
what
get
that
wish
out
to
the
engineer,
the
engineer
is
going
to
make
that
decision
as
to
what's
the
best
way
to
get
this
project
done
in
the
most
cost
prohibitive
way.
So
that's
the
next
phase
of
getting
getting
it
to
engineering
and,
like
I,
said
the
mayor
is
going
to
be
working
with
director
zyde
Dallas,
to
identify
what
funds
they
want
to
use
to
get
to
that
next
phase.
Okay,.
J
I
J
Not
still
nothing,
the
answer
is
the
council
asked
for
a
pool
and
a
bath
house.
The
mayor
has
agreed
to
a
pool
in
a
bath
house
at
the
funding
of
3.7
million
is
going
to
come
from
grant
money,
Opera
money
or
any
other
item
that
the
financial
direct
disease
fit
so
I
think
the
May
is
being
very
accommodating
and
ask
in
doing
what
the
council
has
asked
them
to
do.
I
J
H
A
Okay
in
last
year,
the
pool
did
not
get
any
improvements,
because
last
year,
that
proposal
was
not
part
of
the
operating
budget.
So
it
was
impossible
to
conduct
those
type
of
large-scale
improvements
that
the
administration
with
people
looking
at
have
said
need
to
be
done.
Is
that
correct?
Okay,
all
right
thanks.
H
H
I
H
H
There
was
an
update
on
construction
of
parks
in
Knightsville.
It
was
continued
from
February
16th
I
just
spoke
to
him
a
little
while
ago
in
our
council
meeting.
He
said
he
was
all
set.
We
are
removing
this
from
the
agenda
if
he
has
any
questions
or
concerns
on
this
matter,
he'll
bring
it
right
back
up
to
the
administration
or
add
it
to
the
docket.
So
next
item
after
that,
we
have
the
request
from
Rhode
Island
energy
proposed
location
on
Randolph
Street
have
a
motion
to
approve.
G
H
A
H
H
He
actually
mentioned
a
DPW
had
conveyed
the
concern
relative
to
each
poll,
and
he
was
quite
sure
that
they
will
be
appearing
at
the
next
public
works
meeting,
which
is
clearly
today
and
if
not,
he
was
positive
that
they
will
be
providing
the
information
that
we
asked
for
to
the
clerk.
Is
there
any
information
that
National
Grid
provided
to
us,
or
is
there
anyone
here
from
National
Grid,
our
Rhode
Island
energy
should
say.
H
K
Yep,
so
on
Rose
Street,
we,
this
is
part
of
the
Knightsville
substation
rebuild.
So
what
we're
doing
is
we're
improving
our
asset
conditions
and
actually
reconductoring
most
of
the
area
for
larger
capacity.
So
the
the
mid-span
pole
is
needed
because
there
is
no
guying
from
pole,
three
across
Vigilant
streets.
So
what
that
would
do
was
would
raise
the
wires
up
and
create
the
adequate
clearances
needed
right
now
we
have
a
smaller
size
wire.
So
when
we
increase
the
size
of
the
wire,
it
actually
sags
more.
A
A
K
A
I'll
just
be
I'm
having
difficulty
with
this
one,
because
that
would
mean
that
that
particular
property
would
have
for
Narragansett
electric
poles
on
its
property,
one
on
each
side
that
that
faces
streets
and
that's
the
predicament
that
that
I
have
the
struggle.
I
have
here,
is
kind
of
encumbering
that
property.
In
that
way,.
K
A
K
C
I
Thank
you
is
there
any
way
that
you
can
find
to
place
one
of
the
polls
because,
as
the
council
president
Marino
mentioned
four
polls
in
one
property,
that's
that's
really
a
lot.
So
can
we
check
if
there
is
a
way
we
can
move
that
and
put
it
somewhere
else,
because
if
there
is
only
three
poles
existed
in
this
poverty?
I
H
K
Yeah,
so
when
we
petition
for
a
poll
we
this
process
right
here,
so
we'll
come
again
for
you
guys
coming
across
and
we
would
actually
try
to
notify
the
homeowners
they
we
would
stake
the
poll.
They
would
see
the
exact
location.
So
you
know
they
have
the
opportunity
to
come
here
to
a
public
hearing
and
just
do
that
process
through
that
process.
They
would
be
able
to
ask
questions
and
see
why
we're
doing
the
project.
For
for
this
example,
it's
because
we're
doing
the
Knightsville
substation
rebuild.
H
So
is
there
any
notification
in
any
any
notification
at
all
to
the
to
the
right
to
to
the
owner
of
that
property
at
any
case?
So,
like
I
guess,
my
question
is
there
is
no
notification,
but
instead
it's
more
of
the
council,
the
city
notifying
the
neighbors,
oh
they're,
not
the
neighbors,
I'm,
sorry,
the
property
owner
where
the
pool
is
going
to
be
directly
in
front
or
if
there's
any
obstruction
or
anything
of
that
sort.
K
Yeah,
so
let
me
just
clarify,
so
you
know
we
do
have
a
customer
service
center.
So
if
there
is
a
question
they
always
can
reach
out
to
us,
I
actually
got
a
call
and
reached
out
to
a
customer,
not
not
this
particular
one
but
I.
You
know
they
can
obviously
reach
out
to
us.
Ask
us
questions
but
yeah.
There
is
a
public
forum,
for
example,
this
hearing
right
now
that
they
could
come
to
and
ask
for
other
questions.
H
L
Marisa
Albanese
also
with
Rhode,
Island
energy
and
our
office
address,
is
280
Melrose
Street
in
Providence,
so
on
individual
polls,
the
the
tech
who
happens
to
be
setting
the
poll
would
approach
the
property
owner
to
make
sure
that
they
know
where
the
poll
is
going
with
about.
With
a
few
of
the
petitions
that
you
have
in
front
of
you
tonight
and
more
that
will
be
coming
as
Andrew
discussed.
We
are
increasing
capacity
at
our
Knightsville
substation.
That's
an
overall
project.
L
H
Thank
you
and
to
just
follow
up
on
that
too,
when
you
are
putting
a
new
poll
and
there's
any
interruption
in
terms
of
electricity.
Yes,
you
don't
notify
the
resident
right.
No,
we
do
you
do
yes,
it's
agree
just
on
a
personal
end,
when
I
was
on
a
zoom
and
they
came
in
and
they
changed
to
polls
without
notice
and
I
was
the
middle
of
work
and
I
got
interrupted
for
a
full
20
minutes,
and
that's
why
I'm
asking
I'd
hate
to
see
any
of
my
constituents.
L
End
usually,
if
we
are,
if
we're
doing,
if
we
are
installing
individual
polls,
usually
the
tech
tries
to
knock
on
a
door
to
make
sure
that
the
resident
knows
where
they
are.
Those
get
scheduled
a
couple
weeks
in
advance,
but,
as
you
folks
know,
with
weather
and
other
circumstances,
we
may
not
be
there
on
the
exact
day,
but
we
take
every
measure
we
can
to
notify
the
resident
before
it's
going
to
happen
unless
it's
an
emergency
and
we
have
to
install
something
quickly.
Thank.
I
A
A
H
G
H
I
F
You
chairwoman
vice
president
good
evening,
thank
you
for
for
being
here
this
evening.
This
poll
location
is
my
understanding
to
accommodate
two
existing
polls,
one
that's
on
the
corner
of
Packard
and
one
that's
on
Cadillac
already
yeah.
Yes,
the
the
concern
that
I
have
is
the
the
property
owners
at
on
on
Packard.
F
The
way
that
those
two
properties
are
the
I
think
it's
27
Packard
and
then
the
property
next
to
them,
which
is
a
Flint
Avenue
address
it's
their
garage.
So
there's
the
27
Packard
Street
Garage,
then
there's
this
unpaved
area
and
then
the
garage
for
185
Flint
Street,
but
that
unpaved
area
in
between
for
Effective
purposes
is
used
as
another
place
for
a
car
to
park.
Right
now,
that's
how
the
residents
are
using
that
space
would
would
that.
Would
this
poll
location
interfere
with
that.
F
L
I
mean
that
so
just
from
our
purposes,
the
way
our
engineering
folks
look
at
everything
is
is
with
legal,
curb
cuts
and
access
to
the
to
the
street.
If
they're,
if
they're,
using
that
for
a
driveway,
we
can
certainly
meet
with
them
to
talk
about
it,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
install
a
poll
in
the
public
right-of-way
that
supports
the
the
other
wires
that
will
be
in
the
area.
I.
F
I
H
F
G
G
A
H
M
H
M
H
M
H
M
M
M
So
the
polls
are
just
not
haphazardly
installed,
and
so
this
proposed
ordinance
presents
a
problem
that
you
have
a
change
condition
or
you
have
a
new
development
and
someone
could
elect
to
say
that
you
know
we
have
an
issue
here
and
a
pool
needs
to
be
moved.
There's
a
set
process
for
pull
removal
so
once
they're
set
once
a
poll
is
established
to
remove
it,
there's
a
cost
involved
and
that
costs
is
born
by
the
person
requesting
that
the
poll
will
be
relocated.
M
H
H
Absolutely
is
there
anyone
else
here
to
speak
on
docketed
mattered
only
on
tonight's
agenda
right.
Is
there
anyone
on
Zoom?
No,
no
public
comment
right,
no
I
see
no.
No
additional
public
comment,
I'm
going
to
be
closing
that
and
moving
on
to
new
matters
before
the
committee
first
item
is
22303
ordinance
and
amendment
of
chapter
15
of
the
code
of
the
city
of
Cranston
2005,
entitled
buildings
and
construction
polls.
Relocation
sponsored
by
councilman
Donegan,
have
a
motion
to
approve
someone.
N
J
J
What
is
the
process
to
relocate
this
poll
and
have
that,
if
you
want
to
say
perfect
location
identified
and
just
lastly,
the
building
official
doesn't
set
a
fine,
he
can
give
a
violation,
but
it's
up
to
Municipal
Court
to
issue
any
kind
of
fine
and
I,
just
don't
think
it's
and
the
city's
best
interest
to
start
finding
rail
energy
250
dollars
per
day.
So
that's
the
administration's
objections.
A
A
Mourinho,
thank
you.
Councilman
downgan,
I,
just
have
a
question
on
line.
32
I
do
have
concerns
with
the
with
being
in
use
of
the
language
of
shall
in
terms
of
the
fine
and
I
would
be
more
amenable
to
having
the
word
may.
This
way
it
would
be
up
to
the
discretion
of
the
you
know:
Municipal
Court,
finding
body
to
administer
the
appropriate
find.
If
that
would
be
agreeable.
F
A
H
H
I
So
this
the
first
two
words
I,
have
a
little
problem
with
it,
because
it's
not
really
clear
for
me
so
is
that
is
the
way
we
can.
We
change
this
a
little
bit
to
make
it
more
clear
what
reasonable
demonstration,
what
we
are
really
looking
for
when
we
talk
about
reasonable
demonstration
so
and
what
it
consists
exactly.
H
I
I
H
I
Okay
upon
a
reasonable
demonstration,
that's
the
this
one,
reasonable
demonstration.
Only
so
if
we
can
have
a
word
out
we'll
say
this
is
what
demonstration
reasonable
demonstration,
how
it's
How!
We
can
prove
that
how
we
can
like
what
evidence
we
need
to
say
upon
a
demonstration.
So
that's
what
I
want
to
know
sure.
O
But
my
my
issue
is
the
way
it's
worded.
It
seems
that
there's
sort
of
a
mix
going
on
here.
What
I
mean
by
that
is.
It
seems
that
the
council
acts
as
sort
of
the
investigating
Authority,
where
normally
that
would
be
code
enforcement,
would
do
the
investigation
report
to
DPW
or
the
engineer,
and
then
the
determination
would
be
made.
O
O
If
if
this
is
going
to
be
voted
on
by
the
committee,
but
it
seems
that
if
the
council
is
taking
this
under
its
wings
so
to
speak,
this
is
very
similar
to
a
license
situation,
where
the
council
has
the
power
to
issue
or
revoke
a
license.
But
it
really
has
nothing
to
do
with
code
enforcement.
We
don't
call
up
code
enforcement
and
say
go
out
and
tell
this
restaurant
or
this
class
a
liquor
establishment.
They
can
no
longer
operate
and
they're
going
to
be
fined.
O
So
if
there
were
a
hearing
and
the
Council
made
a
determination
that
the
polls
should
be
moved
well,
then
does
the
council
send
the
communication
to
code
enforcement
directing
them
to
issue
a
notice
of
violation
because
now
you're
getting
into
a
sort
of
a
separation
of
power's
issue?
I,
believe,
because
that
you
know
the
the
council
certainly
has
the
ability
to
say,
move
the
poll
I'm
not
so
sure
the
council
has
the
power,
though,
to
direct
Code
Council
wants
to
say
we'll
have
a
show
cause
hearing,
and
then
we
will
determine
that.
O
Rather,
whether
a
fine
is
appropriate,
I
think
at
least
that
would
be
consistent.
If
you're
going
to
exercise
your
jurisdiction
over
the
matter,
then
I
think
you
should
keep
it
right
through.
This
is
kind
of
a
mix
and
match.
It
seems
like
the
the
council's,
acting
as
the
fact
finder
then
shoving
it
off
the
code
enforcement
to
go
out
and
issue
the
violation
and
then
ultimately,
the
Municipal
Court
is
going
to
make
the
final
determination
and
it's
just
a
little
awkward.
O
In
my
opinion,
the
way
the
whole
procedure
works
so
that
that
would
be
my
concern.
I
mean
I
I
understand
what
the
intent
is,
but
I
think
it
it.
This
needs
more
work
with
all
due
respect.
I
think
it
needs
additional
thought
and
additional
work,
especially
from
a
procedural
perspective.
So
that's
that's
my
opinion.
F
A
H
G
B
H
C
F
H
H
H
H
H
B
H
H
It's
probably
going
to
be
close
to
almost
a
year
soon.
There
has
not
been
a
sign
placed
yet
heard
back
from
the
constituent.
I
did
drive
by
maybe
about
a
week
ago,
a
week
and
a
half
ago,
or
so
I
wasn't
there
having
driven
by
within
the
last
again
week
and
a
half
or
so
so
I'm,
not
sure
if
that
was
put
up
lately.
But
director.
If
you
don't
mind
filling
me
in
on
that.
H
K
P
And
every
one
of
the
polls
has
a
No
Parking
sign
on
it.
We
actually
did
not
feel
that
there
was
a
need
for
no
parking
hit,
a
corner,
because
the
whole
side
is
posted
as
no
parking,
and
the
only
parking
that
could
happen
within
the
corner
is
in
violation
of
Rhode
Island
state
law
that
happens
at
every
roadway.
So
it's
more
of
an
Enforcement
issue.
Councilwoman.
H
So
there's
no
parking
on
one
of
the
poles
furthers
down,
but
there's
not
one
close
by,
and
so
what
happens
is
there
is
a
utility
truck
and
sometimes
and
I,
there's
also
probably
someone
who
lives
by
or
visits
that
continuously
parks
on
that
right
within
the
actual
curbside.
So
even
when
there
is
a
garbage
truck
with
waste
management
is
going
by.
It's
really
been
tough
for
them
to
get
through,
causing
a
problem.
H
P
You
know
I
would
be
happy
to
put
it
up,
but
a
sign
is
not
going
to
stop
someone.
Someone
is
ignoring
the
law
and
parking
there.
Anyway,
it's
an
Enforcement
issue.
If
someone
sees
a
car
park
there
they're
in
violation
of
a
state
law
and
a
crimson
ordinance
now
somebody
needs
to
call
the
police
department
because
they're
breaking
two
laws.
It's
just
like
the
discussion
that
we've
had
throwing
up
more
speed
limit
signs
does
not
reduce
speeding,
It's
gotta.
They
got
to
get
tickets.
H
And-
and
that
is
fair,
sir
absolutely,
but
you
know
it
was
still
an
ordinance
and
it
was
passed
and
I
did
tell
the
constituent
deplete
that
there
would
be
a
sign,
and
that
was
a
discussion
we
had
almost
close
to
a
year,
so
I
I
would
really
appreciate
at
least
putting
a
sign
up
will
do
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
all
right,
I
have
no
further
business
on
here.
Can
I?
Please
have
a
motion
to
adjourn
the
Public
Works
committee
meeting
so
moved
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye
only
say
hey
eyes.
H
H
B
H
G
H
Q
N
Q
Let
me
go
first.
Thank
you
good
evening,
Madam
chairwoman
for
the
record
Robert
Murray
I'm,
an
attorney
with
office,
is
at
21
Garden,
City
Drive
in
Cranston
I'm
here
tonight
on
two
items.
First
ordinance
number
12304,
I've
already
sent
the
letter
and
the
chairwoman
and
the
council
president
said
they
had
anticipated
no
problem.
Continuing
that
matter.
That's
the
Crimson
Printworks
ordinance.
With
your
permission,
I'd
ask
at
the
appropriate
time
that
be
continued
until
your
April
13th
meeting.
It
was
a
slight
notice
issue
and
we
want
to.
Q
Q
I
was
here
last
year
when
he
proposed
ordinance
2-2202,
which
was
a
much
more
extensive,
ordinance
and
I
appreciate
that
evening.
He
chose
not
to
pursue
that
and
I
assume.
We
came
back
with,
let's
say
flight
this
year,
which
is
a
much
smaller
ordinance
and
but
I'd
still
on
behalf
of
a
number
of
clients
who
own
residential
and
Commercial,
we
have
some
concerns.
Q
Clearly,
the
complexities
and
the
concerns
of
last
year's
audience
have
been
reduced
and
and
and
eliminated.
In
many
ways,
however,
this
new
ordinance,
in
my
opinion,
still
plays
as
a
tremendous
administrative
burden
on
the
department
of
inspections,
that's
already
overworked,
with
limited
Staffing
to
meet
all
their
other
duties.
The
administration
can
speak
more
about
that.
My
concern
about
the
ordinance
is
more:
it
assigns
enforcement
and
adjudication
duties
without
really
any
clear
guidelines
or
requirements.
Q
There
is
no
pre-notification
this
this
audience
takes
effect
upon
adoption
and,
as
opposed
to,
for
example,
takes
effect
on
pick
a
date,
November
1
2023.,
so
immediately
upon
adoption.
If
it's
adopted
this
month,
Property
Owners
all
over
the
city
would
have
to
start
filing
lead
safe
certificates.
Otherwise
they
face
a
250
fine
that
gets
renewed
every
60
days.
So
that's
a
concern.
Q
Q
Q
It's
not
clear
to
me
that
this
ordinance
only
applies
to
just
pre-1978
rent
1978
built
rental
properties,
or
it
applies
to
all
Residential
Properties.
Just
for
a
frame
of
reference.
Last
year
I
told
the
committee
that
in
Cranston
we
have
about
20
000,
single-family
homes,
2500
two
family
homes,
603
families,
about
105,
four
families,
23
five
families
and
then
a
combination
of
about
105,
six
or
more
dwelling
units.
Q
Not
all
single-family
homes
are
rental
properties,
but
even
if
10
percent
of
them
there
are
that's
2,
000
properties,
it
doesn't
say
in
the
ordinance
that
owner-occupied
houses
are
exempt.
I
know
I,
know
that
there
is
language
in
the
state
statute
and
I
know.
Councilman
Downing
was
trying
to
I
think
bootstrap.
Q
With
all
these
properties,
some
who
are
comply
in
compliance,
many
of
my
clients
are
in
compliance,
so
I'm,
I'm
kind
of
speaking
for
the
people
who
may
not
be
I
am
not
at
all
minimizing
the
concern
for
lead
safety.
It's
a
it's
an
issue.
Fortunately,
if
you
look
at
the
Department
of
Health
numbers,
it
is
dropped
down
dramatically
over
the
last
20
years,
but
and
that's
because
of
education
and
people
being
more
informed
and
there's
already
mechanisms
in
the
state
law
to
address
it.
Q
So
those
are
some
of
my
concerns
about
the
ordinance
I
don't
mean
to
you,
know,
take
anything
away
from
I
know.
This
is
an
issue.
That's
close
to
councilman,
Donegan
I,
know
councilwoman
Jermaine
co-sponsor
this,
but
I'm
not
sure
this
ordinance
is
in
the
best
position
this
evening
to
be
to
move
forward,
and
those
would
just
be
some
of
my
thoughts.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.
H
R
Name
is
Stephen
Litwin
I'm,
an
attorney
in
Providence,
Rhode
Island
I'm,
here
to
speak
on
item
three
and
my
brother
was
gracious
enough
to.
Let
me
skip
in
in
front
of
him
he's
item
one
and
two
I'm
hoping
item.
Three
is
quite
simple:
it's
just
a
simple
request
at
2110,
Plainfield
Pike
to
change
assessors
plat
35,
lot,
9
from
the
a80
zone
to
an
M2
Zone.
We
were
in
front
of
the
planning
board
last
week.
It
was
unanimously
approved
by
them.
R
It's
basically
a
lot,
that's
sitting
commercial
on
all
sides
and
Commercial
across
the
street,
and
this
poor
lot
is
stuck
in
the
middle
as
a
as
a
residential
lot
and
we're
looking
to
convert
it
or
have
it
change
to
a
to
a
industrial
zone
so
that
we
can
have
a
development
there.
It's
going
to
be
a
Milton
cat,
Distribution
Center.
If
anybody
on
the
committee
has
questions
our
team
is,
is
here,
we
certainly
can
answer
any
questions
about
what
the
end
development
would
be.
N
Good
evening
my
name
is
Thomas
Moses
attorney
of
the
firm
Moses
Ryan
I'm
here
to
speak
on
number
one
and
number.
Two
first
is
a
comprehensive
plan
Amendment
for
property
on
Oakland
Avenue
that
is
owned
by
my
client.
It's
Amalgamated,
Financial
number,
you
remember,
the
number
equities
won
sorry
and
also
number
two,
which
is
a
zone
change
with
me
today
is
the
Mr
Kelly,
Coates
CEO
and
president
of
carpinato
group
that
I'd
like
him
just
to
walk
you
through
the
proposal.
S
My
name
is
Kelly
Coates.
My
place
of
business
is
1414
Atwood,
Avenue,
Johnston,
Rhode
Island,
soon
to
be
100
sockinos
at
Crossroad,
Cranston,
Rhode
Island
excited
to
move
our
company
and
consolidate
in
Cranston
very
excited
to
invest
in
Cranston
a
community
we
love
and
are
invested
in,
and
so
we
look
forward
to
seeing
you
many
times
over
this
year
as
we
come
and
announce
great
projects
that
we're
bringing
into
Cranston.
S
So
for
this
one.
This
is
a
property
that's
been
vacant,
for,
if
you
can
imagine,
I
mean
I'm.
My
term
at
carpinados
is
is
older
than
some
of
you
live,
and
it's
been
vacant
that
entire
time
it's
right.
Next
to
an
existing
apartment,
building
and
we'd
like
to
put
up
a
first
class
apartment,
tiny,
small,
complex,
I,
don't
minimize
it!
It's
12
units,
you
know!
S
For
us,
when
we
do
apartment,
complex
is
usually
in
the
range
of
200
units,
but
this
is
12
and
our
it
abuts
the
bike
path
to
one
side:
apartment
complex,
the
other
side,
a
historic
Cemetery
which
you
were
gracious
enough
to
allow
us
to
go
and
investigate
to
make
sure
there
are
no
cemeteries
on
our
side,
which
they
did
that
finding
and
and
then
a
single
family
residence
with
their
garage
just
near
us.
So
we've
met
with
those
neighbors.
S
We
always
meet
with
our
neighbors
and
with
those
neighbors,
we've
agreed
to
put
up
a
solid
fence
thing
and
on
their
side
of
the
property
to
put
up
Landscaping,
your
follow
will
go
meet
with
them
with
the
landscape,
architect
and
we'll
allow
them
to
pick
whatever
Landscaping
they
want
to
have
on
their
side
of
the
fence.
At
our
side
they
understand
that
they'll
have
to
water
it
because
we
can't
go
on
their
property
and
water.
S
S
H
Thank
you
we'll
have
any.
We
probably
will
have
questions
from
the
committee,
but
it'll
be
after
once.
We
get
to
that
item
on
the
docketed
agenda.
Thank
you,
sir.
Is
there
anyone
else
actually
for
the
record
to
the
clerk?
If
you
can,
please
no
councilwoman
Rizzoli
has
joined
us
for
their
meeting.
Thank
you
is
there?
Anybody
else
here
in
the
chambers
would
like
to
speak
inducted
items.
H
Right
seeing
there's
no
additional
public
comment,
we'll
close
that
portion
of
the
meeting
we're
moving
on
to
new
matters
before
the
committee
up
first
is
matter:
1-23-01,
ordinance
and
Amendment
of
the
2010
comprehensive
plan
for
the
city
of
Cranston,
Oakland
Avenue,
sponsored
by
council
president
Mourinho
and
councilman
pop
Velazquez
may
I.
Please
have
a
motion
to
approve
motion
to
approve
second,
so
all
right,
this
motion
there's
a
second
any
discussion.
I
Thank
you.
Oh
gentlemen.
I
think
this.
This
is
the
phase
one
of
this
budget
coming
out
in
front
of
us
and
I
really
upload.
I
commend
you,
because
one
of
the
things
when
I
heard
about
housing
that
I'm
that
I'm
so
happy
and
then,
when
I
heard
also
we're
gonna,
have
some
affordable
housing
I'm
happier.
I
I
You
have
money,
you
welcome!
You
have
no
money,
you
welcome.
We
have
something
for
everybody,
that's
why
we
call
diversity.
Inclusion
so
have
something
for
everyone.
If
you
can
afford
a
500
million
dollars
house,
you
can
come,
you
can
find
it
in
coincidence,
build
it.
If
you
can
or
have
a
house
that
1500
800,
we
have
something
for
you.
So
that's
why
I
am
I'm
in
full
support
of
this
project
and
I
upload
you
and
thank
you
for
bringing
it
to
Queenstown.
B
I
concur
with
councilwoman
Jermaine
and
also
I
can
say
that
I
was
at
the
the
Planning
Commission
meeting
and
that
I
was
very
impressed.
How
this
group
responded
to
neighbors
in
need
of
having
different
Landscaping
done,
fencing,
they're
being
very
accommodating
and
I
think
oftentimes.
We
have
to
beg
people
to
be
good
neighbors,
so
it's
nice
when
it
just
is
seeming
to
happen
organically
and
so
I
just
want
to.
Thank
you
for
that
and
I'd
like
to
see
this
project
go
forward
and
more
like
it.
Thank
you.
H
A
C
A
H
The
council
president
any
further
discussion.
All
right.
I
also
would
like
to
just
add
that
I
want
to
thank
the
carpinato
group
and
everyone
that's
been
involved
in
this
project,
making
sure
that
a
not
only
do
we
have
affordable
housing,
but
that
we
also
have
a
accountability
of
the
location
where
everyone
is
taking
care
being
good
neighbors
of
the
landscape,
as
we
often
sometimes
well,
as
we
sometimes
hear
from
Neighbors
that
are
not
satisfied
with
the
landscape
of
their
surrounding
neighbors.
So
this
is.
H
This
is
a
great
step
forward,
in
addition
to
having
a
built
right
where
the
bike
path
is
as
well.
It's
great
Revenue
also
for
the
city
of
Cranston,
and
it's
a
lot
that's
being
placed
to
good
use.
So
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
you're
continuously
considering
Cranston
and
making
sure
that
we
have
affordable
housing
included
in
this
development,
which,
for
me,
is
first
and
foremost
one
of
the
most
important
things
when
it
comes
down
to
Development
coming
into
the
city.
H
G
H
F
H
I
I
H
Thank
you
next
item

Please
have
a
motion
to
approve.
I
H
F
Thank
you,
chairwoman.
Vice
president,
it's
it's
fairly
straightforward,
I
think
it's!
It's
simply
that
when
the
city
removes
a
tree
that
we
that
we
replace
that
tree
to
the
best
of
our
ability,
you
know
in
a
place,
that's
proximate
location
to
that
previous
tree.
This
is
just
to
ensure
that
we
are,
you
know,
maintaining
our
tree
coverage
throughout
the
city.
F
H
H
B
Thank
you.
This
might
be
a
question
for
the
administration
I'm,
not
sure.
If
there's
many
been
any
like
Financial
impact
or
about
about
this
I
know
we
don't.
We
can't
estimate
how
many
trees
are
gonna
come
down,
but
do
we
know
how
much
it
costs
every
time
we
put
one
up
and
does
this
second
part
to
that
question
this
might
be
for
the
sponsors.
B
J
U
Hello,
so
just
to
kind
of
comment
on
the
funding
aspect
of
things.
Just
some
general
numbers.
We
remove
about
a
hundred
trees
a
year
and
we
plant
about
25
trees.
As
a
current,
so
simple
math
would
say
you
need
a
four
times
budget
increase,
but
that
would
just
be
to
purchase
and
install
trees
that
doesn't
account
for
the
maintenance
of
juvenile
trees,
which
often
require
water
bags,
as
well
as
additional
fertilizers
to
grow
the
root
system
of
the
trees,
as
well
as
any
sidewalk
work.
That
would
need
to
be
doing.
U
The
meat
needs
to
be
done
in
order
to
give
the
tree
an
appropriate
tree
well,
which
is
typically
24
square
feet.
Four
by
six
of
a
sidewalk
most
of
the
trees
in
the
city
are
planted
in
tree
Wells
that
are
substantially
smaller
than
that,
so
that
sidewalk
expanse
would
be
another
unknown
factor
to
this
program.
U
Just
a
couple
other
notes
that
I've
taken
on
this,
the
city
plants
trees
currently
with
our
backup
sidewalk
tree
planting
program,
so
that
requires
a
property's
owner's.
You
know
the
input
into
this
progress.
They
have
to
agree
to
have
a
tree
put
on
their
property.
The
city
does
not
plant
trees
in
the
public
right-of-way,
which
is
a
concrete
sidewalk
in
most
situations.
H
F
You
thank
you,
sir,
for
for
being
here
this
evening.
The
25
that
the
city
plants
is
that
through
the
the
back
of
sidewalk
program,
or
is
that
something
separate
back
of
sidewall
program?
Yes,
we
I'm
trying
to
remember
how
much
is
budgeted
for
that.
Is
it
15
000
each
year,
ten
thousand
ten
thousand.
So
if
we
needed
to
to
plant
four
times
more,
it
would
be
forty
thousand.
U
I
would
be
hesitant
to
agree
with
that,
because
that
doesn't
include
the
maintenance
of
the
juvenile
trees
in
any
sidewalk
work.
No,
that
that's
fair.
All
of
our
tree
planting
are
done
by
a
non-profit
agency
that
handles
all
of
that,
so
they
are
able
to
purchase
trees
and
plant
them
at
a
private.
At
a
private
rate,
foreign.
B
Anyone
else,
no
okay
is
there
a
way
that
we
could
maybe
offline
accomplish
this
going
through
a
another,
non-profit
or
Dem,
or
something
where
we
could
get
some
free
trees.
We
could
try
that
perhaps
if
we
want
to
fill
this
quota
without
having
to
spend
more
money,
that's
just
an
idea
to
put
out
there.
U
I'll
also
just
jump
in
really
quickly
those
25
trees
that
we
plant,
the
city
is
already
struggling
to
find
25
Property
Owners
to
put
those
trees
on.
We
struggle
with
that
and
often
the
last
five
to
ten
going
Parks,
because
we
can't
find
participants
willing
to
join
the
program.
So
if
we
were
to
bump
that
up
to
a
40
to
100
trees,
excuse
me
we're
going
to
be
quite
short
of
fulfilling
that.
B
H
H
Okay,
but
not
I,
don't
want
to
get
into
the
conversation
who
owns
and
who
doesn't
own
the
sidewalk
at
this
point
right,
but
in
a
sense,
is
the
sidewalk
in
itself
that
would
it
would
the
one
of
those
trees
apply
if
I,
as
an
order
of
my
property,
wanted
a
tree
on
my
sidewalk
to
replace
the
one
that
I
have
there?
If.
U
I
So
when
you
say
that
that's
made
me
think
about
last
two,
two
months
ago
or
twin,
we
had
this
conversation
about
side
work
and
there
were
a
lot
of
trees
that
were
white
like
in
the
sidewalks.
So
and
then
my
question
at
that
time
is:
what
do
we
do
with
them,
because
they
are
really
Hazard?
They
are
unsafe
for
our
children,
our
elderlies
and
I
was
really
confused
about
who
owns
this
hour.
I
U
U
Correct
that
has
happened
one
time
because
it
was
in
a
high
pedestrian
area,
Broad
Street,
but
typically
trees
that
are
on
residential
streets,
minor
artillery
artillery
roads
that
have
sidewalk
uplifts
because
of
trees.
If
it's
a
healthy
tree,
the
city
will
not
remove
that
tree.
So
if
the
property
owner
is
willing
to
come
part
of
our
back
of
our
sidewalk
replacement
program,
we
will
work
with
that
property
owner
to
address
that
tree
or
if
they
want
to
remove
that
tree.
I
Oh
so
I
think
I'm
gonna
come
back
with
this
discussion
again
because
we
still
need
to
have
qualification
on
that,
those
three
that
we
need
to.
We
place
them
by
smaller
trees
and
when
we
have
those
big
big
trees
that
lift
up
the
concrete
and
cause
safety
hazard
for
our
resident
and
tells
me
if
the
tree.
So
what
do
we
prioritize
at
that
moment
the
tree
of
the
safety
of
the
resident?
So
that's
a
question
I
would
like
to
have
and
say,
but
it's
not
the
question
today.
B
U
No,
we
work
with
property
owners
if
they
want
to
fix
their
sidewalk
and
there's
a
tree
impacting
the
sidewalk.
We
will
certainly
tell
them.
You're
welcome
to
take
the
sidewalk
out
and
our
tree
Warden
will
come.
Take
a
look
to
see
if
we
can
prune
any
roots
for
you
to
make
this
ADA
Compliant.
If
it's
not
possible,
that
might
require
the
tree
to
come
down
to
make
it
ADA
Compliant.
C
A
With
respect
to
the
concerns
of
the
funding
that
was
mentioned,
saying
you
know
we
move
a
hundred
and
you
know
we
do
25
and
that
may
be
four
times
the
amount
with
a
you
know:
320
330
million
dollar
budget
I,
don't
think
that's
a
significant
amount,
particularly
given
the
incentives
that
are
available.
Free
money,
that's
available,
whether
through
the
infrastructure
bank
or
other
organizations
for
us
to
get
funding.
A
I'm
sure
in
this
small
amount
to
facilitate
a
program
like
this
and
the
language
in
this
ordinance,
as
proposed
by
councilman
Donegan
I,
is
gives
a
lot
of
leeway
in
the
language
saying
that
it's
as
close
to
the
location
of
the
previous
tree
as
previous
places
possible.
You
know
clearly,
if
there's
a
safety
concern
or
some
other
unusual
circumstance
we're
not
looking
for
it
to
necessarily
be
in
that
exact
location.
A
But
I
think
that
in
today's
day
and
age,
with
the
issue
of
you
know,
of
of
global
warming
and
climate
I
think
that
we
can
make
an
effort
to
find
some
locations
to
plant
trees,
and
maybe
we
as
a
city,
Can
Make,
a
Better
Effort
at
getting
notice
to
residents
of
the
ability
to
plant
trees
on
their
property.
So
I'm
I'm
hopeful
that
that
there's
a
desire
to
not
just
remove
but
to
actually
promote
this.
A
This
type
of
improvement
to
the
environment
and
to
the
concern
of
you
know
if
a
storm
or
something
were
to
you
know,
knock
down
trees.
That's
why
it
says
for
any
tree
removed.
You
know
removing
is
not
if
a
hurricane
comes
and
knocks
down
100
trees.
You
know
so
that
that's
not
the
intent
and
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
the
language
here
would
ever
put
us
in
that
type
of
precarious
situation.
When
we
would
be
facing
that
so
I'm.
Hopefully
we
can
reach
some
compromise,
but
I
see.
F
Thank
you
and
I
would
just
as
a
as
a
kind
nudge
to
to
the
administration,
perhaps
in
the
mayor's
tax
letter
that
goes
out.
I
know,
city
code
requires
that
he
mentions
recycling.
Perhaps
he
could
he
could.
We
could
go
all
in
on
on
going
green
and
and
also
include
some
information
about
the
the
back
of
sidewalk
tree
planting
program
because
I'm
sure,
if,
however,
many
households
in
the
city
learn
of
it
or
or
are
more
familiar
with
the
program,
I
bet,
we
would
get
a
lot
more
applications.
B
B
U
A
Just
just
to
that
that
point
of
that
being
concern,
it
says
you
know
as
close
to
the
location
as
possible.
So
if
it's
a
problem
of
the
public
way,
it
doesn't
say
it
has
to
go
in
the
exact
same
location
or
in
the
public
way
that
aside,
I
was
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
make
mention
of
the
importance
of
using
native
species
for
replacement
of
trees
and
planting
of
trees.
A
And
do
you
know
if
we
are
making
efforts
currently
to
use
native
species,
because
that
is
of
significant
importance
while
I'm
not
an
arborist
again
I've
just
got.
You
know
general
knowledge
of
some
of
this,
and,
if
we're
not
using
native
species,
it's
actually
counterproductive
to
the
current
tree
population.
It
invites
more
invasive.
U
Yeah,
so
I
too
am
not
an
arborist,
but
speaking
to
the
Arbors
that
works
for
Public
Works,
he
is
very
on
top
of
the
type
types
of
trees
to
be
planted.
He
only
does
native
trees
a
lot
of
the
trees
that
we
have
that
are
non-native.
Have
those
disease
that
you're
talking
about
that
he
is
very
well
on
top
of
so
yes,
he
is
planting
native
trees
in
the
city.
H
H
But
hence
the
reason
why
it
says
here
you
know,
as
close
as
possible
to
that
location.
So
I
also
agree
with
councilman
Donegan.
You
know,
I
know
that
there's
a
letter
newsletter
and
we
have
a
new
comes
person
as
well
in
the
mayor's
office,
and
even
we
as
council
members
can
also
be
able
to
Market
that
and
provide
that
information.
H
That's
coming
up
I
know
that
there
has
been
limited
to
trees
as
well
when
I
reached
out
I
think
it
was
to
maybe
the
West,
Bay
I
think
trust
and
I
had
reached
out
yeah
trust
in
asking.
You
know
if
there's
still
additional
trees
or
any
trees,
and
they
were
like,
where
are
out
of
trees
and
I've,
had
constituents
reach
out,
saying
I'd
love
to
have
another
tree
so
exactly
where
in
their
location,
they've
been
asking
and
it's
sporadically
in
different
areas,
some
in
their
private
properties.
H
G
Not
a
question
I
just
had
a
well
two
comments.
One
just
I
didn't
want
to
didn't
know
if
this
would
but
didn't
want
to
set
a
precedent
of
anything
I
hate
to
be
that
guy.
But
are
we
allowed
to
go
forward
with
the
vote
if
there
is
not
a
fiscal
note
attached
to
it
or
I'll,
leave
that
in
the
Regal
and
then.
O
O
If
anyone
on
the
on
the
committee
knows
probably
not
what
type
of
cost
we're
even
talking
about
here,
if
you
want
to
continue
this
audible
abundance
of
caution,
the
child,
that
does
say
any
ordinance
that
may
have
a
impact
on
City
finances
must
be
accompanied
by
a
fiscal
note.
That's
what
the
charter
says.
If
you
want
to
go
strictly
by
the
charter,
then
I
suppose
we
probably
should
have
a
fiscal
note.
A
O
Yeah
that
that's
correct,
Madam
president
I
mean
the
ordinance
would
not
become
effective
unless
and
until
there
was
a
fiscal
note.
Obviously
the
the
ordinance
is
not
effective
and
unless
and
until
passed
by
the
full
Council.
So
you
could
do
that
as
well.
But
then
you
know
the
the
time
lapse
between
committee
approval
and
when
it's
heard
by
the
council
is
probably
a
pretty
short
period
of
time.
I
I,
don't
know,
I
I
think
it
would
be
done
in
time.
A
I
agree:
it
is
but
the
current
tree
it's
like
ten
thousand
dollars
for
whatever
it
is
a
hundred
trees
or
25
trees.
It's
not
a
substantial
amount
of
money.
I,
don't
think
it
would
take
a
lot
of
time,
and
if
it
does,
we
could
always
continue
it.
So
my
preference
anyway
would
be
that
we
vote
on
it
this
evening
and
make
it
subject
to
the
providing
of
the
fiscal
note.
H
O
H
B
H
Thank
you
there's
one
additional
remaining
on
the
ordinance
committee
and
that
is
2-23-06
ordinance
and
amendment
of
Title
9,
chapter
9.08.062
of
the
code
of
the
city
of
Cranston
2005,
entitled
public
peace,
morals
and
Welfare
notice,
requirements
for
removal
and
pruning
of
trees.
It
is
sponsored
by
councilman,
Donegan
Council.
Vice
president
Vargas
in
council,
president
Mourinho
is
your
emotion
to
approve.
H
H
Is
this
yep?
Okay,
so
I'll
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
this,
this
ordinance
in
itself,
the
way
it's
been
introduced
and
the
Amendments
that
are
on
here,
as
we
can
all
see,
that
the
First
Amendment
on
this
ordinance
is
online
between
line
28
up
until
line
30.
notice
on
the
trees
should
indicate
the
date
of
notice,
the
date
time
and
location
of
public
hearings
in
the
city's
tree
warnings
telephone
number
in
emails.
I'll
start
off
with
saying
that.
H
So
to
me
it
makes
absolutely
no
sense
and
then
I
think
it's
only
right
for
us
to
provide
notice
on
when
that
notice
was
going
up
and
allow
the
public
to
have
a
fair
public
hearing
where
then
we
as
a
city
or
the
city
Administration
the
tree
Warden
or
whoever
it
is,
can
actually
provide
reasoning
to
as
to
why
that
tree
is
going
to
be
removed
instead
of
just
cutting
it
down
or
removing
it.
And
the
other
item
on
here
was
line
34
instead
of
having
a
three
day
of
the
hearing.
H
Sorry,
within
three
days
of
the
hearing,
the
tree,
Warden
she'll
render
his
or
her
decision
granting
or
denying
the
appeal
I.
Think
seven
days
makes
more
so
sense
of
allowing
enough
timing
for
someone
to
come
forward
and
know
what
the
the
number
the
the
time
in
which
they
can
come
before
us
to
deny
or
speak
week.
H
I
guess,
in
behalf
of
of
the
reason
why
the
tree
should
be
removed
or
not,
and
then
line
35
would
be
adding
language
in
and
notifying
Ian
notifies
a
person
who
are
known
to
be
of
interest
and
provide
Cranston
City
Council
Members,
with
the
list
of
the
city
trees
to
be
removed.
The
location
of
the
tree
in
reasoning
for
the
final
decision
at
the
next
Cranston
City
Council,
Public,
Works
committee
reasoning
behind
that
is
I,
really
feel
that
you
know
we
have.
H
C
J
J
H
Yeah,
okay,
so
so
pretty
much
the
so
it
says
the
tree
warning
shall
render
his
or
her
decision
granting
or
denying
the
appeal
right.
I.
Think
notifying
the
person
of
interest
would
be
pretty
much
the
members
who
actually,
if
you
look
at
line
28
through
30,
so
you
know
how
the
notice
goes
up
with
time
and
date
and
when
the
appeal
is
so.
If
anybody
comes
before
us
or
before
Oh
I
shouldn't
say
before
us,
but
reaches
out
to
the
tree.
Ward
and
saying
I:
don't
want
this
tree
coming
down
or
Etc.
H
J
J
H
J
H
U
If
anybody
reach
out
to
him
in
opposition
of
taking
the
tree
down
the
written
appeal,
as
it
says
in
this
ordinance,
that's
when
the
public
hearing
would
be
triggered
so
for
him
to
post
on
the
tree
with
a
date
time
and
location
of
the
public
hearing
at
the
time
of
the
posting
We.
Don't
know
if
there's
going
to
be
a
public
hearing
or
not
so
doesn't
totally
qualify
and
then
at
the
bottom
can.
H
I
interrupt
you
right
there.
If
you
don't
mind,
would
it
make
sense
then,
instead
of
doing
then
the
notice
where
the
tree
should
indicate
a
date
of
notice
in
terms
of
the
sorry
of
the
public
hearing
that
the
public
hearing
can
possibly
actually
be
at
the
Public
Works
committee
meeting
the
next
scheduled
Public
Work
committee
meeting
and
they
would
be
able
to
attach
that
as
a
date,
sorry
councilwoman
renzoli.
It's.
B
U
I
personally
have
concerns
with
waiting
for
a
monthly
meeting,
because
this
our
tree
maintenance
program,
is
already
about
a
year
behind
from
requests,
and
the
program
is
almost
entirely
reactive.
There's
really
no
trees
that
he
is
identifying
and
taking
down
himself.
It's
all
constituents
that
are
calling
the
office
requesting
the
trees
to
be
maintained
or
pruned
or
removed,
and
that
list
is
about
a
year
behind
right
now.
So
if
we
were
to
have
to
wait
every
month
to
get
approval,
that's
gonna
backlog
us
a
little
bit
more.
U
A
You,
first
of
all,
just
to
give
some
context
to
it
over
the
years,
even
as
a
constituent
I
had
heard
from
people
and
I
saw
them
myself,
there
were
notices
posted
on
trees
that
they
were
going
to
be
removed
by
the
city
and
there's
no
data
on
it.
So
it's
10
days
from
what
you
don't
know
when
that
was
put
up.
That's
the
problem.
I
also
heard
complaints
of
people
where
they
saw
the
notice,
but
then,
by
the
time
they
called
it
was
too
late.
Again
there
was
no
date
on
the
notice.
A
The
notice
is
useless.
10
days
who's
counting
it.
You
know
what
is
the
point
of
putting
a
notice
if
nobody
knows
when
the
10
days
starts
so
I
I,
you
know,
I'm
thankful,
councilwoman
Vargas,
you
know
is,
is
coming
forth
with
these.
With
these
changes,
she's
heard
from
constituents
about
this
I
have
heard
from
constituents
about
this
issue,
even
as
a
council
member
of
of
late.
This
issue
has
this:
this
came
up
in
the
fall.
It
came
up
from
a
few
people
as
well
so
into
this.
A
You
know
I
understand
with
the
administration's
concern
and
the
Department's
concerned
no
one's
looking
to
create
more
burden,
but
regardless
of
the
changes
that
are
put
forth
in
this
amended
ordinance
the
ordinance,
as
it
states
already
said,
a
there's
a
notice
and
said
B
there's
a
hearing
right,
it's
already
in
there.
We
didn't
add
that
part.
So
all
that
we
are
trying
to
do
as
council
members
is
improve
it
so
that
the
notice
is
adequate
notice
and
that
the
hearing
is
notice
to
people.
It's
improving.
What
we
already
have
so
I
think
we
can.
B
Thank
you,
chairwoman,
I,
don't
know
if
this
is
too
techy,
I,
don't
think
so,
but
I
don't
know
why
we
can
just
have
a
Google
map
plug-in
on
the
website
like
they
do
and
lots
of
places,
and
we
can
just
drop
little
green
dots
on
where
we
want
to
those
trees
are
might
be
removed.
People
of
Interest
see
a
notice
with
the
QR
code
on
it.
They
go
like
this,
takes
them
to
a
Google
form,
they
submit
it
and
then
they
can.
All
the
rest
of
us
can
monitor
the
green
dots.
B
If
we
want,
we
don't
need
to
get
special
extra
notices,
I
think
it's
cheap
and
not
hard
to
do
it
just
came
to
me
now,
though,
I
swear,
as
we
were
doing
this
so
I'm,
just
saying
I
think
that
that's
a
really
efficient
way
to
do
this
and
it
will
keep
everyone
knowing
what's
going
on
without
too
much
extra
paper
and
no
real
excuses
either.
Thank
you.
J
Yeah
I
can
just
follow
up
I.
Think
what
Justin's
saying
is
that
the
date
time
and
location
of
a
public
hearing,
if
there's
no
people
that
are
against
it,
there
won't
be
a
public
hearing,
so
he
can't
give
a
notice
of
a
public
hearing
if
there
doesn't
have
to
be
one
so
I
think
that's
what
his
point
is
on
the
notice.
He
can't
give
a
date
for
public
hearing
if
no
one's
against
the
removal.
It's
just
going
to
happen.
So
that's
the
only
thing
I
think
he
was
trying
to
make.
H
H
B
Chair
I'm,
just
wondering
are
they,
but
what
the
problem
is
with
this?
That
was
brought
up.
It's
just
talking
about
the
do.
We
need
to
amend
that
the
public,
the
public
hearing
date,
what
they're
saying
so
just
saying
it
can't
have
the
date
of
the
public
hearing
on
it.
It
can
have
the
D
of
the
notice,
which
I
agree
with
what
you're
saying.
If
we
don't
know
10
days
from
a
date,
that's
not
on
the
notice.
B
So
if
it
says
you
know,
I,
don't
know
March
16th
date
of
notice
and
then
all
the
information,
but
it
can't
have
the
date
of
a
public
hearing,
because
someone
might
not
oppose
and
that
we're
not
going
to
have
a
public
hearing.
So
it's
a
non-existent
public
hearing
I
think
that's
all
what
they're
trying
to
say.
F
H
F
F
F
A
N
B
I
totally
understand
what
councilman
down
and
saying
what,
if
someone
gets
it
sees
it
on
the
Ace
day
and
writes
a
letter
I
don't
want
them
to
think
that
it's
necessarily
getting
to
City
Hall
and
through
whatever
our
mail
process
is
to
the
person
who's
gonna
open
it.
And
then
you
know
it
kind
of
sets
people
up
to
think
that
they're
in
time,
but
they're
not
in
time
so
I
don't
know
just
want
to
put
that
out
there.
We
have
to
have
some
kind
of
mechanism
to
alleviate
that
problem.
I
H
I,
don't
we
that
would
be
a
question
to
the
administration
in
terms
of
that
process,
but
before
you
answer
that
question,
I
did
actually
find
a
picture
of
the
notice
of
the
tree.
Sorry,
it's
taken
quite
long
on
this,
but
it
does
read
notice.
This
tree
has
been
scheduled
for
removal
by
the
city
of
Cranston.
Please
contact
the
city's
tree
Warden
with
questions
or
concern
and
then
there's
a
phone
number
on
there.
That's
the
only
item.
That's
noted
on
there,
just
as
an
FYI
to
all
of
us.
U
B
I
would
just
like
to
say
that,
because
no
one
really
objects,
this
doesn't
sound
like
it
would
be
a
ton
of
extra
work
on
anyone
if
it
was
I
would
be
totally
100
against
putting
more
on
the
administration,
but
to
my
understanding
from
where
we're
getting
this,
no
one
ever
really
objects.
Maybe
it's
because
less
people
know
but
I
can't
see
it
increasing
like
a
hundred
fold,
so
I
will
be
voting
in
favor
of
this.
B
Just
for
that
reason,
but
I
do
think
that
we
should
find
a
more
modern
way
of
doing
it
and
I
don't
know
if
we're
being
for
micromanaging
by
asking
for
this
list
to
come
before
us
we're
not
approving
the
list
right.
It's
already
been
done.
It's
just
like
retroactive,
then
I.
Don't
think
that
that's
too
big
of
a
deal
either.
H
To
your
point,
correct,
there's,
there's
we're
not
approving
it,
it's
more
of
what
is
going.
What
has
is
going
down
or
or
up
in
terms
of
well
going
down
in
terms
of
the
trees
or
who
you
know,
there's
been
an
appeal
process.
I
mean
it's
already
noted
on
here
here.
She
may
appeal
to
the
tree
warden
in.
H
A
What
precipitated
this
is
that
I
Know
Myself,
councilwoman
Vargas,
maybe
others
heard
from
residents
saying
I-
saw
a
notice.
There's
no
data
on
it.
I
don't
know
when
it's
going
to
be
taken
down.
I,
don't
know:
when
is
this
hearing
going
to
be?
Where
is
this
hearing
going
to
be
so?
The
the
notion
of
where
is
the
hearing
when
is
the
hearing
is
not
because
of
the
Amendments?
A
That's
actually
what
we're
trying
to
cure
tonight
and
I
think
that
it
might
be
better
if
we
continue
this
to
next
month's
Public
Works
meeting
and
in
the
meantime
we
have
a
conversation
with
the
administration
to
shore
up
I
think
we
can
be
in
agreement
on
what
the
notice
will
say,
but
then
we
can
have
further
discussion
on.
Where
is
the
best
place?
A
When
is
the
best
place
for
the
public
hearing
to
take
place,
who's
going
to
conduct
it,
and
then
the
simple
part
of
notice
to
the
objectioners
I
mean
that's
really
what
you'd
be
providing.
So
my
suggestion
would
be
that
we
continue
this
another
month
and,
in
the
interim
I'd
be
happy
to
speak
to
the
administration
of
councilman.
Vargas
wants
to
councilman
Don
again
and
Shore.
This
up.
H
H
So
that's
so
adding
that
amendment
of
notice
of
indicating
where
the
public
hearings
are
when
they're
going
to
be
it's
more
like
if
you
read
it
as
without
the
Amendments,
it's
like
okay,
so
when
are
they
I
think
any
one
of
us
would
probably
get
a
question
from
a
constituent
or
one
of
these
being
held
and
I
wouldn't
have
any
answer
for
them
unless
I
reached
out
to
the
administration.
On
my
end.
So
if
we
can
have
a
motion,
then
to.
C
B
C
H
G
H
Yes,
thank
you
before
we
adjourn
I
do
want
to
actually
take
this
time.
It
is
not
on
the
docketed
item
but
I
would
like
to,
on
behalf
of
the
city
council
thank
director
Perillo
for
his
years
of
service
to
the
city
of
Cranston
and
his
you
know
Dedication
that
he's
had
for
the
last
few
years.
So
thank
you.
