No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
C
D
B
C
This
is
our
regular
budget
workshop
we've
finance
director
john
cena,
and
I
have
been
meeting
with
all
the
departments.
Over
the
last
few
months.
We've
met
multiple
times
gone
over
their
budget.
C
In
the
document
you
have
before
you,
you'll
have
broken
out
by
department.
You
will
have
the
department's
request
and
the
manager's
request.
There
are
some
changes
in
those
on
my
request:
you'll
see
and
we'll
discuss
those
as
we
get
to
each
one.
They're
fairly
minor.
We've
still
got
a
pretty
tight
budget
because
we're
on
the
five
year
plan,
and
so
we're
there's
not
a
lot
of
flexibility
in
this
budget,
but
we
did
encourage
each
department
to
put
down
what
they
felt
they
needed
and
and
that's
what
they
did.
C
This
budget
represents
a
full
four
percent
levy.
Cap
increase
per
the
five
year
plan,
but
due
to
the
preliminary
revaluation
and
growth
estimates,
we
do
not
anticipate
having
to
raise
the
tax
rate
for
this
budget,
as
presented
here
in
the
managers
column.
That's
preliminary.
We
still
have
to
get
the
final
numbers
in,
but
it
looks
like
between
the
reval
and
growth
rate.
C
We
should
be
able
to
cover
that
four
percent
and
in
fact
we
might
even
see
a
slight
decrease
in
the
rate
in
in
some
areas
that
we'll
discuss
at
a
later
date,
once
we
have
those
numbers
firm.
The
reason
for
the
four
percent
levy
increase
again.
This
is
what
was
projecting
the
five-year
plan,
but
the
primary
reasons
are
the
pension
contribution
increases
per
the
actuary.
C
Those
have
gone
up
on
the
town
side
of
about
another
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
over
last
year.
There's
an
increase
in
the
debt
service
due
primarily
to
the
road
and
senior
center
bond,
and
there's
also
the
increase
in
the
school
allocation
funding.
Request
that
we'll
discuss
next
week
when
the
school's
here,
but
those
are
the
primary
drivers.
There
are
some
other
drivers
that
you
see
in
the
budget,
but
those
are
the
those
are
the
big
ticket
items.
If
you
will
that
represent
that
four
percent
increase.
C
So
at
this
point
we
will
go
through
we'll
bring
up
each
department.
I
will
tell
the
full
council
there's:
some
of
the
directors
have
been
stricken
with
various
illnesses
and
they
were
pretty
serious
to
the
point
that
they
couldn't
be
here
tonight
and,
and
that
is
department
of
public
works.
C
Dave
ambari,
the
town
planner
mark
is
also
not
able
to
be
here,
and
the
tax
collector
rose
silva's
not
able
to
be
here,
so
they
will
be
available
next
week,
hopefully
and
there's
that
their
issues
are
resolved
by
then,
but
we
can
go
through
the
budget.
C
If
you'd
like
to
tonight
answer
any
questions
because
we
did
meet
with
each
department
and
we,
if
there
are
any
questions
that
we
cannot
respond
to,
we
can
do
a
call
back
next
week,
so
we
don't
have
to
spend
you
know
more
time
than
necessary
on
them
or
we
can
just
postpone
them
until
next
week.
I
will
leave
that
to
your.
B
C
E
C
B
All
right,
instead
of
going
in
the
water
since
everybody,
like
you,
said,
everybody's
sick,
why
don't
we
start
off
with
human
resources,
which
is.
F
17
of
the
document
that
was
distributed
as
well
to
the.
F
F
I'm
just
going
to
start
off
for
a
second
and
just
mention
that
the
first
few
items
of
the
budget,
general
wages,
the
department
head
and
various
salary
and
benefits
is
driven
by
the
personnel
supplement
that
we
had
previously
mentioned,
which
the
council
also
has
a
copy
of
a
schedule
behind
that
document
that
you
see
in
your
binder.
That
actually
shows
you,
where
those
amounts
come
from
those
the
departments.
Did
you
know
if
they
did
have
a
request
for
a
change
in
personnel?
F
G
Thank
you.
So
I
looked
over
what
was
spent
previously,
and
I
know
that
you
know
just
going
down
the
column.
We
tried
to
keep
it
in
line
with
what
we've
seen
in
in
history
and
as
we
go
down
the
computer
services
and
professional
services,
we
have
seen
some
increases,
but
those
just
have
to
do
with
the
they
haven't
had
increases
in
a
couple
years,
so
they
did
have.
G
They
both
had
an
increase
this
year
and
tried
to
break
out
some,
instead
of
just
mostly
going
with
supplies
and
expenses
tried
to
break
out
some
of
the
other
parts
of
the
budget
per
john's
request.
So
there
is
some
educational
and
memberships
that
are
broken
out
independently.
F
And
there
is,
you
will
see
also
in
your
binder
that
there
is
a
document
that
breaks
out
some
of
the
various
components
that
make
up
some
of
these
totals,
in
particular,
professional
services,
conferences,
travel
and
memberships.
C
And
really,
the
only
change
that
I
made
in
with
the
request
from
the
department
was,
I
did,
increase
the
overtime
number
slightly
from
200
dollars
to
to
a
thousand
dollars
just
knowing
the
that
office,
although
we
do
have
a
floater
now
and
that
should
cut
down
on
the
overtime
expense,
I
just
want
to
give
them
more
flexibility,
we're
already
up
to
9
54
through
february.
So
I
think
it's
proven
to
increase
that.
I
also
dropped
the
requests
for
conference
travel,
not
because
I
don't
think
that
it's
deserved.
C
I
think
it's
important
and
I
stress
to
all
the
departments
that
not
just
the
directors
but
the
staff
should
have
the
opportunity
to
do
some
of
the
extra
learning
and
the
conferences
and
those
types
of
things
it's
just.
This
is
more
on
an
equity
standpoint.
It's
a
two-person
office
and
if
you
look
at
the
other
department
requests,
this
is
the
highest
one.
Now
this
reason
for
that,
in
that
this
office
in
particular
the
deputy,
hasn't,
been
offered
the
opportunity
to
go
to
anything
since
she's
been
in
that
position.
C
So
again,
I
stress
that
you
know
it's
important,
that
our
deputies
are
trained,
because
the
whole
purpose
of
having
deputies
is
that
they
can
take
over
when
the
individual's
not
there
and
christine's
been
doing
a
great
job,
getting
ann
up
to
speed
and-
and
I
strongly
encourage
that-
you
know-
and
you
know-
joins
associations
and
gets
involved
and
is
able
to
carry
on
that
role
if
christine's
not
in
the
office,
but
I
just
tried
to
equalize
it
a
little
bit,
but
it's
I'm
not
if
the
council
sees
fit
to
grant
the
full
amount.
C
B
G
That
is
that
is
it's
two
software,
so
it's
the
camera,
software
and
the
administration
software,
so
the
camera
software
houses,
where
we
keep
the
field
cards
for
all
the
property,
values
and
land
values,
and
then
the
other
one.
The
administration
program
is
what
produces
the
bills,
so
that
would
be
motor
vehicles,
personal
property,
and
then
we
end
up
putting
the
real
estate
into
that.
Okay,.
F
Yeah
correct
and
if
you
look
at
the
bottom
of
each
budget
document
you'll
see
there's
a
total
without
benefit
allocations,
so
that
you
can
actually
compare
the
five-year
amount
to
the
amount
without
the
benefit
allocation,
as
well
as
without
benefit
allocation
compared
to
the
department
requests.
I
F
Well,
what
I
did
fred-
and
I
discussed
it
and
fred-
had
recommended
that
in
the
summary
or
on
the
summary
page,
which
is
one
page
two
in
the
handout
as
well
as
page
two
in
your
binder.
It
actually
has
the
department
request
the
benefit
allocation
column
that
actually
shows
the
change
or
the
shift,
and
then
what
actually
is
the
manager
so
yeah.
F
H
F
B
John
brought
this
up
at
the
last
council
meeting
when
he
gave
his
briefing
of
the
budget.
B
He
explained
that
in
each
budget
you're
going
to
see
an
increase
because
he's
showing
you
the
actual
cost
for
each
one
of
those
line,
items
for
that
department.
So
that
way
there
when
you
see
that
you'll
see
the
increase
but,
like
dave
said
earlier,
you're
going
to
see
a
big
difference
on
the
general
government.
Correct
yeah
decrease,
I'm
sorry
it's
it's.
C
If
you
look
in
the
past
years,
this
is
actually
the
lowest
budget.
It's
been
in
the
last
three
years,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
basically
since
ray
retired,
the
there's.
No,
that
longevity
goes
away
and
in
those
times
so
that's
that
was
a
gain.
So
this
is
actually
lower
than
the
five-year
plan
and
lower
than
the
previous
budget.
F
As
far
as
the
you
know,
allocation
of
the
benefits
we're
looking
to
get
to
a
true
departmental
budget,
which
is
why
we're
looking
allocate
a
portion
to
the
departments
and,
as
I
had
previously
mentioned,
that
the
at
the
council
meeting
last
week,
we're
also
looking
to
actually
have
a
personnel
supplement
included
in
the
budget
this
year,
similar
to
the
document
that
you
see
on
each
department,
page
where
it
has
the
employee
positions
listed
as
well
as
the
salary
benefits,
payroll
costs
and
all
the
associated
costs
that
come
into
play
with
those
positions.
F
So
to
get
to
the
departmental
budget,
we
felt
it
was
proper
to
allocate
the
benefits
accordingly,
including
the
normal
cost
of
the
pension
taking
out
the
unfunded
portion,
which
will
remain
in
general
government.
So.
B
B
If
you
take
out
those
six
line
items
our
budget
for
the
assessor's
office
is
152
371,
so
it
is
2400
less
than
the
five-year
plan.
F
B
A
thousand
dollars
for
you
all
the
time,
so
the
actual
budget,
if
you
take
away
those
six
line,
items
is
152
371..
Okay,
what's
the
council's
feeling
on
the
department
request
for
confidence,
travel
versus
the
manager's
recommendation?
G
G
So
there's
the
the
rhode
island,
assessors
association,
which
we
have
quarterly
meetings
and
then
there's
the
northeast
regional
and
then
there's
the
international
assessors
association.
I
H
I'm
telling
you
some
of
this
for
now
favoring
the
managers
right
now
to
see
where
we're
going
with
this
budget.
H
F
Following
and
again
same
as
same
as,
as
I
mentioned,
with
the
assessors,
we
have
the
personnel
supplement
that
you
also
have
that
drives
the
first
three
or
four
items,
with
the
exception
of
the
overtime
and
the
sick
bonus,
because
the
overtime
sick
bonus,
we
don't
know
who
actually
would
receive
it,
although
in
this
case
we
do
because
there's
only
one
one
person
who's
entitled,
but
those
items
as
well
as
the
benefits
are
all
driven
by
the
the
supplement.
F
So
it's
basically
down
to
five
items
that
actually
are
line,
items
that
karen
actually
has
requests
for
is
the.
C
C
C
They
are
utilizing
karen
in
that
office
daily
I
mean
it
gets
in.
I
think
we're
seeing
changes.
I
mean
it's
we're
getting
a
lot
of
pushback
from
the
unions.
I'll
tell
you
that
you
know
the
way
that
we
are
enforcing
things
now
and
holding
them
to
a
certain
level
of
behavior.
But
it's
been
a.
I
think
it's
been
very
positive
and
we're
and
we're
seeing
the
effects
so.
I
J
Employees,
that
is
no
advertising
is
actually
the
cost
to
advertise
positions
that
we
have
available
or
any
recruitment
process
that
we're
going
through.
Like
now
we're
doing
the
police
officer
recruitment,
I'm
very
frugal
when
it
comes
to
advertising
a
lot
of
people,
don't
don't
use
print
ads
anymore
and
they're
very
costly,
and
I
think
you
know
that's
that's
a
number
that
perhaps
reflects
some
print
ads,
and
so
I've
tried
over
the
last
year
doing
it
a
little
differently
using
electronic
yeah.
J
Well,
and-
and
you
know
what
we
got,
the
department
of
labor
runs
those
ads
for
us
for
free.
We
get
the
announcements
out
there
excuse
me,
so
you
know
so
you
can
see.
You
know
I
had
a
significant
number
in
there,
but
yet
you
see
where
I
am
today,
I'm
at
611.
J
J
And
that
is
another
one,
that's
subject
to
are
we
you
know,
are
we
hiring
any
new
people?
You
know
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
change
happening,
because
that
is
my
medical
testing.
That
is
also
the
line
item.
If
I
require
an
independent
medical
evaluation
on
someone
which
is
a
bit
costly,
so
you
want
to
have
some
money,
yet
you
know,
if
you
don't
use
it,
it
looks
like
which
we're
not
spending
it.
You
know
for
what
reason
people
you
know
might
wonder.
J
B
J
Random
drug
testing
goes
through
there
as
well,
and
you
know
again,
if,
if
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
people
leaving
and
we're
we
don't
we
don't
hire,
I
don't
take
on
that
cost,
but
you
never
know.
J
H
You're
very
you're,
very
honest
and
seeing
that
you
you're
you're
volunteering,
you
are
right.
H
J
This
year,
I've
implemented
because
of
the
police
recruitment
process.
I
have
an
application
process
that
I've
implemented,
so
I'm
actually
bringing
in
some
revenue.
So
I
would
be
happy
to
give
you
a
bit
of
my
money
if
you
like.
J
K
H
J
J
J
J
G
J
F
Spread
out
across
it's
spread
out
across,
but
some
of
that
money
was
also
previously
allocated
to
the
town
manager.
For
example,
the
97
92
that
you
do
see
was
not
designated
for
hr,
but
it
was
designated
for
positions
that
used
to
be
part
of
the
town
manager,
for
example,
with
the
personnel
assistant.
With
with
that
position,
there
was
a
longevity
associated
with
it,
so
that
was
in
the
five-year
plan.
Part
of.
C
F
K
B
C
K
It's
just
absolutely
ridiculous.
You
can
see
already
just
for
two
years
I
mean
to
have
our
workman's
comp
reduced
by
90.
I
mean
that's
not
by
coincidence.
You
know
that's
from
a
lot
of
hard
work
and
and
really
doing
a
job
and
congratulations
and
thank
you.
C
The
reality
is
that
a
lot
of
these
personnel
issues
weren't
being
dealt
with
because
they
just
wasn't
the
time
in
the
in
the
days.
So
now
they
are
and
we're
seeing
the
results
so
yeah.
So.
G
A
L
L
L
L
Oh
okay,
yeah,
probably
yeah,
we'll
we'll
see
if
we
can
coordinate
on
that
so
yeah
I'm
going
to
brag
a
little
bit
but
I'll
keep
it
short
because
after
all,
I
only
get
you
as
an
audience
once
once
a
year,
if
I'm
lucky
and
we
have
dozens
of
programs-
and
I
could
go
on
but
I'll,
just
I'm
just
going
to
limit
myself
to
a
few
recent
developments
that
we're
doing
right
now,
we're
going
to
be
celebrating
our
50th
in
various
ways
and
one
of
which
is
creating
a
digital
archive
for
the
town's
history.
L
We've
already
started
scanning
photos,
newspapers
and
other
documents
for
our
collection.
For
instance,
we
have
every
west
warwick
high
school
yearbook
dating
back
to
1920..
L
And
so
in
this
way
we
intend
on
developing
as
wes
warwick's
memory
institution
we're
currently
a
partner
with
the
west
west
warwick
health
equity
zone
working
with
the
food
access
work
group
and
this
summer,
we'll
be
coordinating
with
sodexo
thunder,
miss
west
bay
community,
the
senior
center
and
the
other
partners
to
become
a
site
for
the
free
lunch
program
for
west
warwick,
youth
from
up
to
age
18.
L
and
we're
going
to
be
integrating
that
with
our
summer.
Reading
program
with
that
has
at
least
20
special
programs
for
families
and
providence
college
recently
donated
six
imacs,
which
we're
setting
up
as
a
creative
lab
and
the
imacs
are
loaded
with,
among
other
apps
apple's,
imovies
editing
software
and,
as
all
of
you
know,
west
warwick
was
recently
chosen
to
be
the
subject
of
rhode,
island
pbs's.
L
L
L
The
facility
is,
of
course,
a
town
asset
and
in
the
last
year,
or
two,
we've
made
significant
progress
towards
the
greening
of
the
building.
L
We
completed
a
43
000
retrofit
of
our
lighting
made
possible
by
winning
national
grids.
Light
up
your
library,
competition,
our
west
warwick,
patrons
out
voted
other
libraries
that
were
in
the
competition
at
the
national
grid
website
and
we
completed
a
240
thousand
dollar
window
replacement
project
made
possible
by
a
grant
from
the
chelsea
foundations,
and
that
was
a
huge
project
by
the
way
involving
demolition,
asbestos,
abatement
and
construction
all
accomplished
during
the
2015
february
march
snowstorms.
L
While
the
library
was
open
in
sub-zero
temperatures
and
a
big
shout
out
to
the
school
department,
because
we
couldn't
have
done
it
up
without
their
help.
Kenny
townsend
basically
functioned
as
a
general
contractor
for
the
project
and
his
crew
handled
boarding
up
insulation,
finished,
carpentry
and
other
tasks.
L
So
we're
really
grateful
to
the
school
department
and
this
spring
we'll
be
replacing
our
25
year
old,
rusted
and
deteriorating
hvac
rooftop
units.
We
have
two
units,
a
40
ton
and
a
30
ton
and
replace
we're
replacing
them
with
new
high
efficiency
units,
and
this
again
is
made
possible
by
a
140
000
grand
dollar
grant
from
the
champlain
foundations.
So
we're
not
just
maintaining
the
building,
we're
improving
it,
greening
it
for
for
the
town
for
decades
to
come.
L
So
that's
the
end
of
my
bragging
section.
L
Now
to
the
budget
you'll
see
in
your
handout
just
to
refresh
the
council's
memory.
In
april
of
last
year,
at
the
council's
request,
I
presented
a
plan
and
cost
for
annual
budget
increases
within
the
five-year
plan
to
allow
the
library
to
comply
with
the
state's
minimum
standards
for
hours
opened
by
fiscal
19..
L
L
L
Now,
if
we
look
at
the
the
numbers
on
the
on
the
library
budget,
there's
one
thing,
I
want
to
mention
right
off
the
bat
and
that's
when,
when
I
first
worked
this
out,
we
had
a
very
clean
and
clear
presentation
for
the
council,
with
our
salaries
line,
going
up
by
the
necessary
nineteen
thousand
seven
hundred
and
sixty
dollars
over
last
year's
figure
going
up
to
358.
L
L
L
C
There
yeah
the
state
funds,
cannot
be
used
for
salaries,
they
have
to
be
used
for
something
else,
so
they
took
the
money
he
had
elsewhere.
C
The
electric
costs
yeah,
yes,
it
should.
I
should
eliminate
it
right.
Well,
they
still
have
to
pay
a.
K
Portion
of
the
debt
service,
like
everyone
else,
does,
instead
of
paying
the
electrical
they
pay
the
debt
service.
That
should
be
well
you're
right,
I'm
sorry,
I
won't
eliminate
it,
but
the
debt
service
is
significantly
we're
supposed
to
have
major
savings,
the
first
year
of
operation,
so
we
could
cut
that
down.
L
Well,
this
num,
the
the
utilities
number,
is
actually
very
conservative
because
okay.
M
L
Put
this
in
perspective,
we're
adding
16
hours
to
our
work
week.
C
D
B
C
K
If
we're
going
online
we're
going
online
fiscal
17.,
so
if
we're
going
on,
this
is
17's
budget.
So
where
is
the
calculation
for
all
the
departments.
F
K
F
So
we
don't
know
exactly
what
the
first
year
costs
are
going
to
be,
but
we're
anticipating
that
and
you
will
see
with
some
of
the
other
departments
that
we
have
a
portion
that
we
took
out
of
their
budgets
and
we
plan
to
put
them
into
a
debt
service
or
put
them
into
what
I'm
going
to
plan
to
create
is
a
special
or
a
separate
fund,
an
internal
service
fund,
because
you
can
have
one
other
medical
that
will
actually
have
before
the
operations
and
the
debt
service
payments
of
the
wind
turbines.
Okay,
but.
K
F
K
C
K
Think
it's
great,
I
I
think
you
know
we're
going
to
we're.
I'm
I'm
very
pleased
about
what
we're
doing
and
I'd
like
to
see
the
fruits
of
it.
You
know
on
paper
and
where
we
can
show
the
people
where
70
of
them
voted
for
this
thing,
where
right
we're
keeping
our
promises
and
we
didn't
like
go
for
the
sky
when
right,
not
only
that.
I
I
L
Then
60.
and
once
we're
at
60,
you
know
we'll
have
added
832
hours
to
our
operations,
which
is
basically
three
and
a
half
months.
So
you're
going
to
be
open
three
and
a
half
months,
more
yeah.
I
I
K
D
I
K
B
B
B
L
Yeah,
that's
the
that's
the
half
half
of
the
again
in
your
readout.
What
what
we're
asking
for
utilities
to
to
add
the
four
hours?
And
that's
that's
only
a
percentage
of
of
the
appropriation
too!
That's
if,
if,
if
you
look
at
what
we
actually
spend
on
utilities,
the
actual
cost
that
we're
going
to
have
to
spend
is
probably
double
the
amount.
I'm
asking
here
to
go
up
another
three
and
a
half
months.
So
I'm
going
to
be
thrilled
when
our
when
our
utilities
bill
is
cut,
and
I'm
very
very.
D
L
Just
this
past
year
on
on
gas
and
electric,
we
budgeted
almost
74
000
dollars
just
for
gas
traffic.
F
And
speaking
of
the
agenda
management,
well,
you
will
see
with
this
department,
as
well
as
the
other
two
departments
that
are
part
of
the
agenda
management.
You
will
see
a
document
from
granigas
that
actually
outlines
the
cost
for
the
whole
fiscal
year,
as
well
as
the
allocation
between
the
various
departments
and
wastewater
pension
and
so
forth.
So
you
will
see
that
as
part
of
your
binder
document,
yeah.
K
F
Like
I
said
three
of
the
departments
affected
by
that
council
planning
and
zoning,
the
pension
has
their
own
portion.
That
you'll
see
there
as
well
as
waste
water
and
that's
in
the
separate
budget
for
wastewater
and
pension,
as
we
know,
doesn't
quite
have
a
budget
just
yet,
but
that's
another
story
for
the
time.
As
we
know.
Okay,
any
questions.
K
Yeah
I
like
that
that
they
distributed
the
genuine
management.
It's
good.
B
All
right,
let's
go
on
to
police
first
and
then
we'll
go
fire
after.
F
K
K
I
went
through
the
citizens
academy,
so
maybe
I
should
have
accused
myself
from
this
whole
process.
I
want
to
know
I
want
to
give
them
whatever
they
want.
B
F
If
I
can
just
add
just
like
with
the
other
departments,
you
have
the
supplement
in
front
of
you
that
has
the
various
positions
I
did
sort
it
by
position,
so
you
can
see
the
groupings
of
the
different
categories
and,
as
part
of
the
narrative
it
now
has
a
summary
of
or
at
the
bottom
of
the
narrative.
It
has
the
number
of
each
rank
and
file.
F
K
K
There's
no
chief,
any
innovations
in
here
like
body
cams,
gps
devices,
so.
E
E
D
E
If,
if
I
could
just
maybe
highlight
a
couple
of
the
the
items
and
a
couple
of
changes,
we
are
asking
for
a
couple
personnel
issues,
one
would
be
to
have
a
second
full-time
animal
control
officer,
as
we
did
probably
going
back
five
years
ago.
We
just
recently,
I
believe
it
was.
Last
year
we
approved
the
part
time
this
year,
we're
trying
to
get
it
full-time.
B
F
Amount
and
that's
the
benefit
is
that
in
here.
Yes,
it's,
it's
actually
part
of
the.
If
you
look
at
the
supplement
and
you
look
under
civilians
in
the
supplement,
you'll
see
that
it
has
animal
control,
pt
proposed
ft
yeah
and
it
has
medical
again
assuming
it's
just
a
single.
I
mean
we
don't
know
if
it'll
be
a
single
or
family,
but
the.
F
I
I
K
What
I'm
raising?
What's?
What's
the
what's
the
offset
john,
you
might
know
better
if
we
can,
the
dog
pound
supplies,
what's
the
offset
for
licensing?
What
do
you
take
in
for
licensing?
E
E
A
K
Yeah,
rather
than
delayed
the
process,
I
just
want
to
know
more
than
curiosity
what,
where
what
our
revenue
is
and
dog
licenses,
and
what
are
we
doing
you
know,
maybe
we
can
offset
some
of
that
expense.
For
I,
I
advocate
another
person
another
well,
some
more
help,
okay
down
there.
So
that's
how
we've
left
that
thank
you
go
for
years
and
years
and
years
and
we're
all
animal
lovers
up
here.
C
E
It
says
that
westward
may
provide
an
ordinance
for
an
annual
license
fee
of
seven
dollars
for
each
newted,
male
or
speed
female
or
15
for
each
unneutered
male
burn
spate
female,
so
it
sets
its
allows
you
to
set
an
ordinance
at
the
amount
of
seven
or
fifteen
dollars
and
it's
specific
to
west
warwick
and
their
list
of
different
communities.
H
K
B
B
Allowed
to
charge
you're
both
right
here.
What
you're
saying
is
it
gives
a
list
of
communities
itself,
there's
probably
another
set
of
communities
that
are
charging.
You
know,
because
I
know
some
communities
have
pitbull.
You
have
to
have
insurance.
You
got
to
have
certain
things
like
pawtucket.
I
know
they
have
a
law
there
about
certain
doors
and
you
pay
more.
So
I
mean.
E
B
G
E
That
is
a
combination,
we're
actually
year-to-date
we're
at
like.
B
E
Yeah
well,
we
updated,
we
updated
those
numbers
to
recently
up
to
the
end
of
february,
but
it
includes
licensing
fees
for
our
records
management
software,
which
is
about
twenty,
almost
twenty
one
thousand
dollars
for
that
about
twenty
eight
hundred
for
a
live
scan.
E
Computer
for
the
fingerprints,
our
mugshot
software
is
about
400.,
we're
going
to
need
to,
and
I'm
not
sure
the
price
but
cloud
storage
for
our
server.
That's
included
crime
reports.
That's
about
twelve
hundred
dollars
website
it's
about
450,
and
then
we
need
to
renew
our
power
dms.
Our
document
management
software
that
we
purchased
for
years
ago.
E
G
E
G
E
Lighting
water
bills,
you
name
it.
B
D
E
E
E
You
wouldn't
have
thought,
but
they
they
are
one
other
thing
that
I'm
requesting
is
that
to
move
some
money.
A
couple
years
ago,
before
the
the
last
negotiated
contracts,
we
had
quite
a
bit
more
funding
in
the
training
budget
and
what
we're
looking
to
do
is
take
some
money
from
the
education
account.
We
have
less
people
going
to
at
the
time
at
this
time
going
to
college,
so
we're
looking
to
take
some
of
that
money
and
put
that
into
training.
E
So
we
can
allocate
that
for
other
training
courses
and
such
so
it
won't
be
an
additional
it's
just
moving
from
one
account
to
another
another
one,
correct.
B
Chief,
probably
should
ask
karen
too,
but
I
know
councilman
kenny
and
I
were
talking
last
week.
The
advertising
for
the
police
department's
been
all
referred
on.
The
radio
shows
how
many
police
officers
are.
We
hiring.
E
E
B
E
B
C
E
And
it
has
been
difficult
to
draw
our
candidates
to
to
even
apply.
I.
D
B
B
E
B
Did
it
for
scituate
and
somebody
else
too,
in
channel
10.,
but
I
was
like
how
many
you
know
how
many
offers
are
iron
so
just
to
clarify.
E
C
B
B
E
B
F
If
I
can
just
add
one
thing
to
the
about
the
dog
pound,
I
know
councilman
giroux
had
asked
about
the
about
the
revenues.
F
We
could
then
possibly
take
some
of
this
money
out
of
the
police
department
budget
and
be
paid
out
of
that
separate
fund.
We're
trying
to
do
and
be
creative
with
a
lot
of
the
different
funds
like
I've
mentioned,
to
try
to
establish-
and
you
know,
collect
the
money
and
then
have
it
be
designated
for
a
specific
use.
So
if
money,
you
know
if
we
collect,
you
know
five
thousand
dollars
in
dog
pound
fees,
but
we
only
spend
2
000.
B
B
Absolutely
and
you
know
kudos
to
her
she's
done
the
best
she
could
being
a
single
person
down
there
and
trying
to
operate
the
hours
of
operation
down
there
plus
deal
with
any
issues
she
has
to
deal
with
around
town,
whether
it's
a
mouse,
a
rat,
a
dog,
a
cat,
a
skunk
she's
done
well
with
that,
and
you
know
she
doesn't
hear
it
from
us
that
much
because
we
really
don't
see
her
or
we
really.
You
know,
but
I
know
I
called
the
chief
a
couple
of
times.
B
E
D
H
B
M
Looking
at
the
fire
department
budget
we're
pretty
much
level
funded
from
the
previous
three
years,
some
of
the
differences
in
our
budget
this
year.
I
guess
it's
about
130,
two
thousand
dollars
and
the
differences
come
in
on
salaries,
where
we've
had
a
lot
of
tiered
employees
class.
Four
three
two
they've
moved
up,
so
that's
the
increase
there.
We
have
had
no
hires
of
about
29
000
training,
you're
gonna
notice,
it's
up
about
25
000,
and
that
would
be
because
we
have.
M
I'm
just
going
to
my
page
here
we're
going
to
need
to
train
a
dispatcher.
We
have
a
dispatcher,
possibly
leaving
in
april,
we'll
be
I'll,
be
working
with
karen
to
establish
a
dispatcher
list,
hopefully
by
september
october
the
latest.
We
would
like
to
have
a
dispatcher
ready
to
go
to
train
him
or
her
within
12
weeks
before
that
person
retires.
M
M
I
put
that
in
there
I
I
could
lose
more.
I
may
have
about
10
people
that
can
retire,
but
I
don't
think
you
want
me
to
put
that
that
many
people
in
in
this
budget
that
was
one
of
the
biggest
increases
of
fleet
maintenance.
Two
years
in
a
row,
we've
had
big
bill
with
the
ladder
truck
and
we
increase
that
about
ten
thousand
dollars
and
the
biggest
item
on
the
the
increase
on
the
budget
would
be
on
the
department
head
salary
for
an
assistant
chief,
the.
D
M
For
request
for
assistant
chief,
this
will
be
the
fourth
year.
I've
been
a
requesting
assistant
chief
position.
C
Yeah,
so,
basically,
in
reviewing
everything,
we've
had
the
conversation
a
couple
times.
We've
talked
about
whether
or
not
it
could
be
done
as
as
a
half-time
position,
a
part-time
position.
I
think
the
potential
to
get
someone
retiring
from
another
department
come
in
part-time
is
a
very
qualified
person
would
be
something
that
we
could
do
and
as
it's
a
new
position,
I
just
think
it
would
be
prudent
to
see
how
that
would
work
before
jumping
into
the
full-time
similar
what
we
did
with
the
dog
officer
and
others.
C
B
B
I
see
what
your
concerns
are
and
he
explained
to
me
what
he
wanted
to
do,
but
I
also
explained
to
him:
you
know
that
I've
shared
individuals
names
with
him
that
I
think
could
be
achieved
in
the
future
and
I'd
like
to
see
individuals
from
that
department.
B
B
M
B
B
My
name
and
listen,
I
I've
I've
talked
to
firefighters
and
I've
talked
to
different
people,
and
I
see
how
they
perform,
and
I
know
individuals
that
I
even
brought
up
might
not
have
the
education
piece
yet
or
need
to
take
the
education
piece,
but
maybe
that's
something
we
want
to
look
at
is
maybe,
if
the
chief
has
somebody
qualified
taking
the
education
piece
just
like
we
did
here
with
you
as
an
assistant
chief
as
full-time
and
let
them
work
on
that
education
piece.
So
once
the
chief
decides
to
retire
that
person.
D
H
H
H
So
I
repeated
that
a
million
times
and
the
only
other
thing
I
don't
like
about
hiring
within
with
an
assistant
chief,
is
we're.
Making
another
position,
and
I
told
the
chief
I'd
be
all
fine.
How
long
have
I
said
it
chief
as
long
as
you've
been
looking
for.
One
show
me
where
you
lose
a
position
and
show
me
the
money
and
I'm
all
for
an
assistant
chief,
but
we
have
what
you're
doing
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
make
a
position,
that's
what
we're
doing.
K
M
I
look
at
it
this
way
here.
The
position
is
needed
more
than
ever
that
the
fire
service
ems
ema
has
been
expanding
more
and
more
every
year
and
one
chief
just
can't
manage
it
effectively,
and
I
think
everyone
knows
that
we've
gone
over
that
councilman
padua.
I
understand
what
you're
saying
about
adding
a
position.
M
Kingstown,
there's
only
two
departments
don't
have
assistant
chief,
which
ones
are
those
two
right
here
on
cranston
has
a
full-time
training
officer,
okay,
which
does
other
duties
besides.
Just
the
training,
a
full-time
ems
officer
and
an
assistant
chief
east
greenwich
has
an
assistant
chief
which
handles
other
duties
as
ems
and
other
duties.
M
East
providence
has
a
full-time
ems
officer,
two
officers
in
training
and
safety,
the
full-time
positions
east
pro
I
just
said:
east
providence
johnston
has
a
full-time
training
officer,
full-time
ems
coordinator
and
their
assistant
chief
is
a
battalion
chief
that
is
paid
overtime
and
works
administratively,
and
speaking
with
that
chief,
it's
really
not
working
out,
but
they
do.
Okay,.
M
M
One
one
and
one
training:
ems
assistant
chief
pawtucket,
two
in
training,
one
ems,
one
assistant
warwick,
has
two
assistants;
an
ems
and
two
training;
westwolf
zero.
When
socket
won
one
and
one
and
north
kingstown
assistant
chief,
who
also
handles
ems.
K
So
I
mean
the
way
I
look
at
it.
Councilman
are
it's.
This
to
me
is
is
like
going
years
without
an
hr
person,
we
brought
someone
on
and
it
benefited
the
town.
You
know
in
the
public
as
whole
and
it
benefited
just
the
inner
workings
of
the
town
to
have
somebody
to
assist
the
the
chief.
I
mean,
I
don't
think
he's
he's
wants
it,
so
he
can
get
out
of
doing
some
work
because
I
think
he's
going
to.
M
K
If
you
look
at
what
this
particular
individual
has
to
do,
I
mean
there's
just
so
many
grants
out
there
that
he
physically
doesn't
have
the
time
to
go
after
our
research
I
mean,
since
the
chief
has
been
here,
1.2
million
dollars
has
been
gained
in
grants
and
that's
just
by
you
know
one
person,
but
I'm
sure.
K
I'm
about
to
say
that
with
assistance
from
your
people,
but
to
have
somebody
there
as
an
assistant
to
be
able
to
just
one
thing,
go
after
more
grants,
I
think
could
benefit
everybody.
I
think
it
could
benefit
the
the
the
men
and
you
don't
have.
I
don't
have
any
women,
but
the
men
there
I
think,
could
benefit.
K
You
know
the
chief,
the
manager
looking
at
things
that
might
be
getting
done
partially,
but
not
completely,
where
another
person
could
do
that.
I
see
this
as
an
investment,
not
just
for
the
chief,
but
for
a
professional
governmental
entity
that
that
should
have
you
know
an
assistant
to
the
chief.
It's
not
unusual.
The
chief
of
police
has
an
assistant.
I
think
the
manager
agrees,
but.
B
K
K
H
I
I
Said
about
the
word
investment
I,
like
the
word
investment,
but
I
like
what
councilman
gosling
said,
how
we
need
to
consider
bringing
up
somebody
within
that.
We
think
you
know,
is
a
good
candidate,
and
that
is
that's
determined
by
the
town
manager
and
determined
by
the
fire
chief
who
we
think
is
important,
but
I
think
we
need
to
just
like
how
we're
planning
for
the
future
in
all
of
our
other.
K
K
H
K
H
H
H
H
I
I
just
don't
think
that
we
don't
have,
and
you
know
how
I
feel
about
other
things
where
we
we
we
ate
ate
the
thing
with
the
station
fire.
When
I
was
president
at
the
time
I
met
with
kachiri
and
kachiri,
we
couldn't
afford
taking
that
hit
and
he
left
it
up
to
us.
We
had
to
pay.
The
ball
was
in
our
court
and
that
wasn't
our
mandate.
H
That's
a
state
mandate,
and
I
said
at
the
time
then
you're
going
to
have
the
fire
marshal
from
the
state
take
responsibility
because
we're
taking
responsibility
for
something
we
shouldn't
be
taking
responsibility
on.
So
that's
my
feelings.
I
believe
me.
I
know
joe
personally,
I
know
what
he
does.
I
have
conversations
with
him
on
a
regular
basis.
If
I
have
a
problem
or
if
something
comes
up,
this
comes
up
and
I
understand
his
need
for
this
and
he
could
be
doing
other
things
and
making
it
better,
but
I
don't
think
we
have
the
money
well.
K
I
think
I
I
agree
in
a
lot
of
it
as
far
as
the
money
we've
got
to
find
the
money.
It
is
a
new
position
and
we're
doing
this
to
to
help
the
department
and
ultimately
help
the
taxpayer.
How.
K
K
In
in
eight
years,
guys,
okay,
it's
over
a
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars
a
year.
Okay,
that
would
pay
plus
for
an
assistant
that
might
have
been
able
to
get
another
half
a
million
dollars
in
grants.
Who
knows
because
one
man
can
only
do
so
so
many
things
your
people
can
do
so
many
things.
What
I'm
saying
is
again
it's
an
investment.
K
K
Allow
you
to
do
things
that
you
couldn't
do
and
do
more
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
right
now
and
that
that's
my
point,
yeah.
I
agree.
We
got
to
find
the
money
we
got
to
find
the
money,
but
but
again
keep
in
mind.
You
know
over
the
last
eight
years,
1.2
million
dollars
and
that
has
directly
right
subsidized
the
taxpayers,
because
the
scuba
equipment
you
had
to
get
that
paid
for
it.
I
can't
remember
all
the
things
joe,
but
it
seems
like
every
month.
G
B
M
It's
time
for
the
department
to
be
progressive,
I
feel
frustrated.
My
men
feel
frustrated
that
we
can't
we
have.
We
have
an
officer
in
the
audience
and
we
do
a
lot
of
training
when
a
new
recruit
comes
on.
They
get
all
kind
of
training,
we'll
have
a
training
officer
that
will
do
monthly
training
trainings.
M
We
have
a
lot
of
good
offices
that
can
that
want
more
and
the
assistant
chief
will
handle
most
of
the
operational
aspect
of
the
job
because
grants
yes,
don
johnson
does
a
hell
of
a
job
helping
me
do
the
narratives
and
all
for
the
grants,
but
after
that,
managing
a
grant
once
we
get
it
takes
a
lot
of
time
quarterly
reports
and
how
you
spend
the
money
at
all
it
just
it
just
go,
goes
on
and
on
all
the
meetings
that
we
have
to
attend.
There's
a
lot
of
things.
M
It's
not
only.
I
I
thank
councilman
giroux
for
highlighting
about
the
the
grant
money
and
how
much
we
we
have
saved
the
taxpayer,
but
I
also
have
to
concern
concern
of
the
department
safety.
M
M
M
And
I
went
to
a
seminar
last
month
over
here
at
the
west
valley
inn
the
chiefs
association
put
on.
We
had
a
a
speaker
come
in
a
well
renowned
fire
chief
and
he
he
hit
a
little
point,
and
I
made
a
note
of
it
about
liability,
and
I
mentioned
about
training,
our
offices
and
fire
ground
tactics
and
all
if
something
goes
wrong.
M
Niosh
national
institute
of
these
acronyms
get
me
as
an
organization
comes
in
and
investigates.
If
something
happens,
somebody
gets
hurt,
dies
on
the
job
or
whatever
and
like
they
said.
We
do
give
a
lot
of
training
to
new
recruits
and
all,
but
we're
not
giving
the
training
to
our
offices
and
there's
a
liability
there
and
my
goal
is
to
move
it
forward
and
make
the
department
better.
M
If
anyone
has
known
me,
I
if
it
was
coaching
or
whatever
when
I
leave
something
I'm
leaving
it
in
good
shape
in
the
future,
that's
what
I
want
to
do.
I
just
don't
want
to
just
sit
on
my
hand,
say
I'll,
write
my
timeout
and
go
from
there
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done,
and
I
would
I
would
suggest,
full-time
because
I've
already
lost
years
and
there's
a
lot
of
things
I
like
to
accomplish
and
work
with
the
work
with
the
men
to
get
accomplished.
K
So
so
what
do
we?
What
have
you
put
in
here,
fred
for
a
second
position
for
a
assistant
position?
It's
0.5,
fte,
yeah?
Okay,
so
again
we
we're
not
making
decisions.
We're
gathering
information
right.
So
unless
you
want
me,
unless
you
want
to
well
put
this
one
to
bed
now,.
B
K
Well,
well,
the
manager's
already
put
in
he's
already
he's
halfway
there
got
50,
I'm
saying:
go
the
whole,
I'm
recommending
that
we
bite
the
bullet
and
give
give
something
what
we've
said
we're
going
to
do
for
years.
I
know
we've
been
putting
it
off
your
points,
are
you
know
we're
in
a
five-year
plan,
but
this
this
this?
I
don't
know
if
I
want
to
call
it
a
promise,
but
this
was
made
you
know
hold
off
hold
off
hold
off
next
year,
we'll
do
it
50
percent.
M
K
M
B
K
All
right,
this,
my
guess,
is
typically.
H
M
M
Chiefs
that
make
more
than
chief
of
department
here
just
saying
that
was
the
point
chief,
we
never
told
you,
you
couldn't
apply:
smithfield
69,
000,
portsmouth,
78,
000
change,
north
providence,
79
000
and
I
know
they're
in
for
not.
M
M
And
all
that
can
be
found
in
the
department
of
revenue
municipal
guidelines.
K
K
I,
what
I
want
to
know,
can
we
afford
it?
That's
the
question
so
john
and
fred:
can
you
tell
me,
can
we
afford
it,
can
you
look
in
there
again
see
we
can
get
the
rest
of
it.
0.5.
C
C
Giroud
said
something
that
you
know
in
all
likelihood,
if
you
put
this
out
to
an
application
process
which
we
would
we're
going
to
get
a
lot
of
retired
firefighters
from
different
parts
of
the
state.
Even
if
you
approve
the
full-time
position,
I
would
recommend
that
we
post
the
position
as
full
or
part-time
will
be
considered,
because
I
don't
want
to
not
select
the
best
person
who
may
be
retiring
but
not
want
to
do
you
know
a
40-hour.
C
Want
a
little
flexibility
may
want
to
do
20,
30,
whatever
it
is,
so
I
I
would
just
want
that
flexibility
to
hire
the
person
that
is
most
qualified
for
the
job.
You
might
be
able
to
get
a
lot
more
out
of
30
hours
from
somebody,
that's
more
qualified
than
40
hours.
Out
of
somebody
that
you
know
we'll
fund.
K
K
B
Now,
chief,
I
support
us.
Let
me
just
throw
this
out
there
if
you
do
hire
with
him
and
councilman
kenny
and
asked
me
a
question
about
promotions,
and
then
you
eliminate
that
position
a
year
from
now.
Another
council
comes
in
and
says
you
know
it
is
election
yeah.
It
could
be
five
new
people
up
here
this
year.
C
Bargain
it
with
the
union,
if
the
union
wanted
to
sit
down
and
have
that
conversation,
we
could
do
an
moa
to
the
contract
stating
that
and
it
would
be
very
specific
to
the
person.
That's
offered
the
position.
If
the
council
wanted
to
go
that
route,
to
say
that
you
know
if,
after
you
know
x
amount
of
years,
I
mean
I
don't
think
it
would
be
forever
right.
It
would
be
a
certain
time
limit
on.
You
know
whether
it
be
within
two
years.
B
That
yeah,
you
know,
I
don't
know
every
line
of
the
contract.
I
just
wanna.
He
asked
me
the
question.
I
wanted
to
ask
you
so
all
right,
you
know,
I
just
want
to
throw
it
out
there.
G
F
It
is
but
there's
a
proration
involved
because
we
now
pay
it
out
or
we
now
actually
calculate
it
as
of
the
higher,
depending
on
the
higher
date.
When
you
hit
your
next
step
for
the
longevity,
for
example,
rather
than
just
looking
at
okay
in
june
of
next
year,
they'll
have
the
next
level
if
they
don't
hit
that
next
level.
Until
sometime
during
the
fiscal
year,
we
prorate
it.
So
we
don't
give
credit
for
a
full
year
if
they're
hitting
the
anniversary
halfway
through
so
the
departments
yeah.
C
B
F
B
F
M
C
H
L
M
Basically,
there's
no
change
from
the
previous
year
sean
henry,
who
assists
in
the
ema,
who
will
be
working
on
he's
waiting
word
from
rima
on
a
grant.
D
M
And
hopefully,
we'll
be
adding
money
grant
money
into
this
we're
going
to
be
applying
for
a
grant
for
ema
directors.
It's
based
on
my
salary,
a
percentage.
M
B
F
B
It
will
be
for
the
the
public
hearings
right
now.
It's
just
department
heads,
but
if
you
want
to
come
up
real
quick
I'll
give.
D
You
two
seconds:
well,
it's
just
a
and
there's
nothing,
I'm
achieving.
I
just
bring
in
my
guys
are
concerned,
so
they
asked
me
to
call
my
daughter.
It
was
a
public
hearing
tonight
but
they're
concerned
that
that
the
money
that
we
have
given
up
and
the
benefits
that
we've
given
up
for
the
financial
condition
of
the
town
is
now
going
to
be
used
to
fund
another
position
on
the
fire
department
and
it
doesn't
look
like
it's
going
toward
a
financial
problem,
but
just
to
fund
another
position,
I'm
just
bringing
what's
next
door.
D
Okay,
they're
also
concerned
with
that
we
have
a
reopener
next
year,
and
is
this
going
to
be
told?
Well,
we
created
a
new
position.
We
really
don't
have
any
money.
I
took
a
few
thousand
dollar
hit
on
this
and
then
at
the
end
of
the
five-year
agreement
we
got
our
benefits
back,
so
your
budget
is
going
to
go.
Has
a
big
consideration
given
to
you
know
when
those
when
those
benefits
are
due
back
and
that's.
D
I
just
echo
angel
who's
concerned
about
the
cost
and
that's
what
we're
bringing
from
next
door
and,
if
you've
considered
that-
and
you
talk
about
that-
that's
great,
but
those
are
the
concerns
that
the
fire,
the
firefighters,
have
okay,
take
it
under
consideration.
Thank
you.
B
F
Yeah
wait
until
that
settled
down,
but
I
was
gonna
go
through
it,
but
basically
the
other,
the
fred's
column,
so
to
speak
or
fred's
recommendation
is
to
level
it
to
what
it
was
last
year.
It
has
been
running
high.
Obviously,
as
we
know
for
many
years,
it
has
been
that
made
the
main
purpose
or
main
cause
for
that,
I
should
say,
was
the
staffing
that
was
not
addressed.
So
we
have
addressed
the
staffing
we
now
have
the
tax
collector.
F
We
have
a
floater
so
again
we're
requesting
that
it
stays
level,
but
we
anticipate
that
between
the
staffing,
as
well
as
some
procedures
and
different
processes
that
we're
coming
up
with
with
banking
and
different
things
like
that
that
we're
going
to
look
to
streamline
it,
get
it
down
even
lower.
I
should
say:
streamline
operations,
one
of
the
biggest
complaints
that
we've
gotten
from
a
lot
of
taxpayers
is
how
long
it
takes
for
their
checks
to
be
cashed
or
checks
to
be
applied.
F
So,
besides
the
overtime
we
have
that
to
deal
with,
but
now
with
the
staffing
and
with
remote
deposit
services
from
the
bank,
we're
able
to
be
more
efficient
and
more
effective,
we're
getting
it
in.
You
know
getting
the
money
in
the
bank
and
with
rob
with
the
floater
position.
That
has
been
a
big
help,
so
we
expected
in
17.
F
We
can
start
to
see
the
fruit
of
those
changes
come
to
fruition,
but
we
still
anticipate
that
there
may
be
some
overtime
that
is
needed
again
because
we're
trying
to
push
everything
into
those
collection
cycles.
How.
B
Is
that
florida
position
working
because
I
happen
to
be
here
friday
and
the
comment
was
said
to
me,
I
think
in
the
clerk's
office.
I
think
somebody
called
out
sick
somebody
had
taken
the
day
off
and
it
was
only
one
person
was
on
lunch.
There's
only
one
person
with
a
line
out
the
door
and
they
said
whenever
they
need
the
phone
or
help
they
don't
get
it.
B
A
D
A
A
C
The
way
it
works,
we
set
it
up
that
that
karen's
office,
the
hr
department,
would
schedule
the
floater.
So
if
a
department
head
sees
that
there's
a
scheduled
absence
and
they're
going
to
need
the
coverage
they
request
through
karen
now,
if
she
gets
multiple
requests
from
multiple
departments,
she's
got
to
base
it
on
need
and
priority,
and
someone
needs
to
make
that
decision.
If
she's,
not
sure
she'll
come
talk
to
me,
but
basically
that's
how
it's
set
up
now
in
an
emergency
situation.
C
B
How
does
the
situation
I
know
marion
said
she
asked
for
indication
either,
but
how
does
a
situation
when
a
clerk
is
in
the
office
by
herself
and
marianne
was
not
here
and
there's
a
line
out
the
door
and
there's
two
people
in
that
office,
because
the
florida
was
sitting
at
her
desk
and
was
at
her
desk?
C
D
B
Know
so,
marianne,
I
think
that's
something
that
you
need
to
tell
the
clerks
in
your
office
if
they
do
run
into
that
bind
and
I'm
trying
it
wasn't
rachel,
because
rachel
was
there
alone.
I
forgot
who
said
it
that
when
they
asked
for
the
former
that
never
seems
to
get
it
in
that
in
your
office,
yeah.
B
C
A
A
C
A
C
B
You
didn't
tell
me
right
now:
rachel
handled
the
situation
very
well,
she
did
she,
I
I
was
there
and
she
actually
asked
it
was
kind
of
funny.
She
goes
hey
if
anybody
has
any
complaints
with
the
town.
There's
a
town
council
president
and
I
always
hear
the
science
of
papers,
which
was
she
was
just
joking
around,
but
two
actually
complimented
her,
because
she
was
doing
double
doing
trying
to
keep
them
both
going
get
them
both
out
of
here
at
the
same
time.
But
there
were
six
people
in
line,
and
you
know
she
was
trying.
A
B
F
And
I
can.
I
can
also
add
to
that
that
there's
been
times
before
when
we
may
have
had
the
floater
and
something
came
up,
whether
it
was
in
assessors
or
I
don't
know
that
it
was
necessarily
clerks,
but
there
was
something
that
came
up
where
the
floater
was
needed
elsewhere.
So
karen
you
know
communicated
that
to
rose
or
myself
and
said.
Look
I
know
robin
is
you
know
supposed
to
be
with
you
today,
but
something
came
up.
Can
we
pull
her
back
and
you
know
make
it
up
to
you
another
day
or
whatever,
so
there.
B
F
The
overtime
was
higher
than
anticipated
or
expected
back
in
leading
up
till
december
january
in
november
and
october
as
well,
because
of
the
fact
that
we
did
implement
the
new,
the
new
hr
payroll
system
and
with
this
particular
company,
instead
of
actually
paying
them
the
consulting
fee,
they
have
us,
so
they
had
staff
actually
do
a
lot
of
the
setup
and
and
whatnot
which
helped
them
to
understand
the
system
better,
but
unfortunately
led
to
overtime
that
we
didn't
expect
during
that
time.
F
Now,
since
then,
the
overtime
has
dropped
back
to
where
it
should
be
within
finance,
especially
payroll.
So
to
speak,
because
that's
where
a
majority
of
it
was
there
have
been
a
few
occasions
that
it
may
have
come
up
during
tax
time
in
terms
of
getting
the
w-2
zone
and
so
forth.
But
that
is
not
something
that's
expected
to
continue.
It
was
something
that
did
take
place
because
of
that
system.
B
God
forbid.
Well,
I
know
you
brought
up
to
me
and
I
talked
to
john.
He
gave
me
his.
He
gave
me
his
explanation
and
I
thought
it
was
good
enough,
so
I
really
didn't
make
any
mm-hmm.
F
And
included,
obviously,
in
you
know
in
this
budget
it
does
now
have
the
full-time
collector
position
and
the
when
we
switched
last
year
we
actually
took
candy
or
the
one
of
the
accounts
payable,
while
the
accounts
payable
position,
put
it
back
into
finance
and
did
bring
in
another
body
and
in
person
yeah.
Oh
yeah,
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
changes
to
again
try
to
be
more
efficient,
more
effective.
F
It
made
sense
that
the
finance
director
be
sitting
in
the
finance
designated
area
of
that
spot.
So
you
know
that,
plus
you
know
we
did
need
to
give
rose.
You
know
the
collector
on
office
for
meeting
with
constituents
that
may
have
concerns
and
different
things
like
that.
So,
but
those
most
of
that
work
is
pretty
much
wrapped
up
knowledge.
F
Just
a
few
minor
things
we're
doing
now
again
trying
to
make
the
office
you
know
more
efficient,
more
effective
and
have
you
know,
have
people
where
they
should
be
being
able
to
see
the
counter.
One
of
the
problems
we
were
having
was
one
of
the
tax
collector
clerks
actually
couldn't
even
see
at
the
counter,
because
she
was
so
far
down
to
the
finance
side.
F
So
all
things
like
that
that
made
sense
for
the
office
we're
also
looking
into
or
rose,
is
now
looking
into
a
secure
or
some
type
of
a
shield
at
the
counter
from
from
the
taxpayers.
In
terms
of
you
know,
god
forbid,
there's
a
grab
and
grab
and
run
or
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
theft.
F
You
know
dealing
with
it
being
that
they
deal
with
cash
and
whatnot,
so
we
are
looking
into
that
and
we
do
have
some
tax
sale
fees
that
we
that
we
collect
that
we
could
actually
potentially
offset.
H
F
Cost
of
that
safety
safety
upgrade,
and
you
know
just
trying
to
make
the
office
and
provide
the
office
with
everything
all
the
tools
it
does
need.
You
know
to
run
and
be
able
to
collect
efficiently
and
get
those
checks
in
the
bank
so
to
speak.
Included
in
this
as
well
are
included
in
your
binder.
You
will
see
a
detail
for
some
of
the
conferences
and
some
of
the
fees
or
dues.
Actually,
that
rose
has
requested
in
fred,
and
I
support
it's
pretty
basic.
K
Bros
this
one
is
only
that
could
be
easy
page.
K
F
Yeah,
the
original
or
the
amount
last
year
for
the
department,
I
should
say
the
amount
that
we
had
received
was
the
request
was
not
enough
to
cover
the
actual
cost
per
the
schedule.
That's
provided
there
for
their
portion.
C
K
M
C
Hedge
programs,
no
no
yeah
and
they're
like,
but
we
don't
want
to
be
on
tv.
K
Did
you
see,
did
you
see
the
email
that
I
sent
you
today?
Did
you
get
a
chance
to
read
that
a
constituent
you
know
who
I'm
talking
about
asked
all
these
questions
I
mean
like,
and
I
mean
I
wasn't
here
I
didn't
attend
but
like
if
it
was
recorded,
she
probably
would
have
had
the
answer.
I
couldn't
possibly
answer
all
the
questions
that
she
had.
C
B
Did
anybody
see
the
video
that
I
forgot
was
a
show?
I
saw
it
on
this
weekend
where
they
had
a
two-member
board.
They
held
a
meeting,
it
was
on
camera,
it
was
live.
I
forgot
what
community
was
in.
I
have
to
go
back
and
look
at
it.
It
was
on.
It
was
on
one
of
those
late
night
shows
like
two
in
the
morning
on
the
weekend
and
it
showed
it
actually
had
the
coventry
fire
chief
situation.
B
It
was
a
joke,
but
he's
a
british
guy.
He
we
brought
up
his
name
before.
B
K
B
Remember,
ed,
fred,
ed
ben,
you
can
call
me
whatever
you
want.
Whatever
you
want.
Wasn't
a
public
hearing
tonight
you
didn't
want
anybody
to
speak.
D
B
F
B
C
The
big
change
in
this
one
is:
we've
added
an
assistant
director
position.
The
purpose
of
the
position
is
multifaceted.
A
big
piece
of
it
is
to
cover
to
let
this
individual
and
in
combination
with
dave's
position
will
be
able
to
cover
the
running
of
the
department
of
parks
and
rec
as
well.
C
So
you'll
see
that
a
portion
of
this
individual's
salary
is
located
here,
there's
a
portion
in
parks
and
rec
and
there's
a
portion
in
the
civic
center
budget,
and
the
reason
is
that
the
idea
would
be
that
that
would
allow
both
dave's
position
and
the
assistant
position
to
serve
as
oversight
for
all
of
those
areas
and
we've
had
the
conversation
with
dave
and
he
feels
with
another
person
on
board.
C
That
would
be
very
doable
and
I
think
it's
more
than
we
had
with
just
ray
on
board
doing
it,
but
I
think
we
need
to
devote
more
to
our
recreation
department.
There's
a
lot
going
on,
and
so
that's
that's
the
reasoning
for
this
position.
F
E
F
D
G
No
in
the
past
we've
had
assistance.
I
think
the
last
one
we.
H
B
B
One
of
the
reasons
I
I've
talked
to
fred,
you
know
and
don't
get
me
wrong.
Ray
did
the
best
he
could
for
what
he
had,
and
you
know
he
went
up
there
every
morning.
But
again
I
talked
to
fred
early
in
the
year
about
moving
parks
and
rep
over
to
dpw
only
makes
sense.
I
mean
dpw
and
parks
and
rec
are
right
there
and
pretty
much
the
next
parking
lot
over
and
they
go
there.
Everyone
there's
no
supervision
throughout
the
day
and
don't
get
me
wrong.
B
They
they
do
a
very
good
job
for
what
little
they
have,
there's
three
guys
basically
and
some
pot
timers
and
three
guys
taking
care
of
all
the
ball
fields.
The
soccer
fields,
you
name
it
they're
non-stop,
I've.
I
know
two
out
of
the
three
are
constantly
non-stop.
I
don't.
I
never
see
the
third
one,
it's
because
it's
either
at
night
or
whatever,
but
I
I
I've
seen
it.
But
again,
sometimes
you
need
direction
and
you
know
ray
would
go
home
at
two
o'clock
three
o'clock.
B
B
And
that's,
and
I
think
personally
it
also
helps
a
guy
like
dave.
Lombardi
who've
had
a
knock
on
wood,
a
good
winter,
it's
over,
hopefully
yeah.
But
if
you
guys
all
remember
last
february,
I
said
to
fred,
I
said:
dave
is
cranky,
but
he's
not
cranky
because
he's
miserable
about
his
job,
because
we're
taxing
him
that
that
and
he's
putting
in
90
hours
a
week
in
the
month
of
february,
but
with
a
with
an
assistant
on
with
him.
You
know
he
can
go
home.
You
know
this.
B
Been
very
sick,
thank
god.
We
haven't
had
a
very
bad
winter,
but
you
know
between
his
personal
stuff
and
you
know,
he's
had
to
help.
You
know
the
guys
down
there.
Cheeseburger,
freddy
and
them
guys
have
all
stepped
up
to
the
plate
to
help
dave,
even
though
he's
out
when
he's
out
of
work
and
they've
done
a
good
job.
But
again
you
gotta
have
somebody
there
supervising
and
also
in
all
three
and
we've
put
an
ice,
rink
and
field
house
in
there
too.
H
H
M
D
D
B
C
It's
it's
something:
we're
going
to
move
move
towards
with
the
next
negotiation
session
and
try
to
get
some
more
flexibility
there.
For
that
reason,
but
for
right
now,
it'll
just
be
you
know,
it'll
be
managed
under
there
we're
going
to
keep
the
budget
separate
one
of
the
things
we're
doing
too
we're
reviewing
now
just
ed.
C
You
might
be
interested
in
this
we're
reviewing
recreational
software
cloud-based
software
products
that
allow
for
all
the
field,
scheduling
the
team,
scheduling
for
all
the
facilities
and
teams
will
actually
be
able
to
set
up
their
profiles
and
they
can
select
their
fields
and
they
can
pay
online
that'll.
Take
a
lot
of
the
onus
off
of
like
duffy
and
those
people
that
are
doing
that
now.
C
Correct
so
so
we're
looking
at
there's
a
couple
different
products
out
there
devoted
just
for
the
recreation
industry
and
the
and
there's
some
you
know
decent
ones
so
and
and
the
payment
for
it.
Our
fee
comes
off
of
when
people
pay
their
bill
for
the
fee
for
the
field,
so
they
actually
just
do
a
surcharge.
C
So
it's
really
can
be
done
at
no
additional
cost
to
us.
The
way
that
they're
set
up
so
we're
looking
at
several
options,
we'll
present
those
to
you
once
we've
looked
at
two
or
three
of
them
and
and
present
that
to
you,
but
we're
looking
at
ways
to
streamline
it
and,
like
that
said,
bring
it
to
the
21st
century,
because
it's
long
overdue
general
wages.
I
F
I'm
sorry,
that's
okay.
One
of
the
reasons
is
the
wii
pro
rated.
Originally
dave
had
the
assistant
here
at
the
60
000
versus
the
60
or
whatnot,
and
he
also
had
initially
included.
What's
her
first
name,
oh,
my
god.
The
recycling
quarter
nicole
nicole's
salary.
Here,
however,
we're
looking
to
actually
have
her
be
paid
out
of
our
recycling
fund
because
we
receive
recycling
revenue.
So
basically
those
are
the
changes
we
just
we
allocated
the
way
it
should
be
and
just
to
comment
on
that
assistant
director.
F
Besides
the
60
of
the
salary,
the
benefits
are
also
allocated
at
60.
So
if
there
is
a
medical
or
anything
like
that,
it's
60
here
20
at
recreation
or
parks.
When
we
get
to
parks,
and
then
we
do
plan
to
have
that
other
20
as
part
of
a
civic
center
budget,
which
will
not
be
in
the
general
fund
because
its
own
enterprise
fund,
but
it
will
be
a
separate
budget.
C
Yeah
we
have
a
situation
where
we
have.
We
had
a
mechanic
that
was
on
extended
workers
comp.
We
cannot-
and
we
were
already
at
bare
bones
with
in
the
mechanics,
so
we
had
to
bring
in
another
mechanic,
so
it's
showing
as
the
additional
position.
Ultimately,
we
need
the
position,
so
we
did
keep
it
in
to
add
it
in
so
he
wants.
This
guy
is
done
with
workers
comp
and
he's
not
coming
back,
but
we
want
to
rehire
in
his
position
because.
C
F
F
C
So
there's
a
general
wages
item
here,
that's
basically
for
the
part-time
individual
that
we
spoke
about
with
this
road
bond.
We
need
a
real
engineer
to
oversee
this
whole
process.
C
So
from
the
the
bid
specs
and
we've
had
someone
working
on
that
he
was
the
former
town
engineer
in
smithfield
retired,
so
he
put
together
a
bid
spec
package.
You
go
up
online
and
look
at
it.
It's
like
we
went
from
three
pages
to
a
document
like
that
which
is
which
is
where
it
should
be,
for
what
we're
asking
for
it
has
all
the
protections
all
the
specifications,
all
the
protocols
that
go
with
testing
and
things
of
that
nature
and
we'll
just
be
providing
oversight.
C
It's
probably
more
than
we
need
he's
basically
on
board,
for
you
know,
probably
five
or
ten
hours
a
week
at
a
busy
week.
He's
did
more
the
last
few
weeks
because
he's
writing
help
was
helping
us
put
these
specs
together,
but
he
he
agreed
to
come
and
do
this
for
forty
dollars
an
hour
registered
engineer
with
40
years
of
experience.
I
I
started
the
conversation
by
saying:
would
you
do
it
for
75
and
he
said
I'll?
Do
it
for
40.?
C
So
so
he's
going
to
help
us
out
and
it's
obviously
very
qualified,
and
so
we
just
put
that
in
and
basically
it's
gonna
it's
to
it's.
The
focus
is
on
that
on
those
roads.
He's
also
available,
though,
if
we
want
to
review
a
subdivision
plan,
or
you
know,
a
development
plan,
because
we
haven't
had
an
engineer
on
board
for
a
while,
so
just
to
have
that
set
of
eyes
to
kind
of
check
everything.
C
Basically,
this
will
be
coming
out
of
our
it
right
now.
What
we
do
is
any
kind
of
road
inspection
things
like
that
we
send
jim
jeremy
out,
but
all
due
respect
to
jim's
firm,
it's
it's
very
expensive
and
his
expertise
is
in
other
areas
he's
in
you
know
basically
in
water
and
sewer,
and
it's
he's
mechanical,
whereas
this
is
a
civil
engineer
that
we.
C
With
with
experience
with
rhodes-
and
I
know
firsthand
having
been
the
planning
director
in
smithfield
when
mr
geldart
was
the
was
the
town
engineer,
he
rode
those
construction
companies
like
nobody's
business.
They
hated
him
because
he'd
be
out
there
going
says
two
inches.
I
want
two
inches.
Do
it
again,
we
need
that
kind
of
you
know
oversight.
Even
if
it's
spot
checking
it's
going
to
be
a
big
difference.
You
know
so
correct
and
that's
why
I
mean
I
think
it's
important
to
protect
the
investment
of
the
taxpayers.
Here.
C
It's
a
small
price
when
you're
looking
at
a
five
million
dollar
road
bond
to
have
somebody
on
board.
That
knows
knows
what
he's
doing
and
has
the
expertise
to
kind
of
just
go
out
and
just
double
check
and
he's
willing
to
train
dave's
assistant.
If
the
council
decides
to
go
ahead
and
hire
that
position
to
inspect
the
roads
as
he
would
so
he's
going
to
take
him
out
and
go
through
so
that
we're
not
paying
him
to
go
out
all
the
time
we
can
send
the
assistant
out.
C
Absolutely,
but
I
don't
know
if
dave's
going
to
be
a
willing
learner,
as
some
other
people
might
be.
C
C
I
C
C
Again,
the
idea
we
left
the
5
000
in
for
the
direct
position
because
we
would
like
dave
to
still
serve
in
in
that
capacity
that
ray
was
doing
but
more
in
the
oversight
and
it'll
be
a
shared
responsibility
between
the
assistant
director
and
the
director,
so
that
hasn't
changed.
But
we
added
the
amount
for
the
assistant.
It's
shared.
C
If
I'm
assuming
it's
a
like
public
event
on
a
town
property.
K
K
K
K
Yeah,
it's
a
possibility
to
to
get
sponsors,
and
I
I
think
we
can,
but
that's
going
to
take
organization,
correct
and
leadership
to
to
do
that.
You
know
and
I'd
be
happy
to
be
part
of
it
yeah.
It's
a
lot
of.
K
M
K
So
we're
going
to
have
to
see
we
might
be
able
to
get
a
copy
sure
something
like
that,
an
opt-in,
you
know
to
celebrate
some
type
of
celebration
that
the
people
can
count
on
every
single
year.
All
right,
you
know
like
this,
isn't
reinventing
the
wheel.
I
mean
there's
some
penalties
everywhere.
Do
it
and
you
know
whether
their
funding
is
from
the
general
fund
or
from
donations.
K
K
To
have,
I
think,
who's.
K
K
The
police,
you
know,
there's
there
was
incidentals
the
band
right,
but
I'd
like
to
put
something
in
there.
Anyway,
I
mean
you
know
if
you,
if
you
want
to
fund
it
through
somewhere
between.
I
K
If
we're
going
to
stop
those
golf
balls,
aren't
going
to
hit
themselves
yeah
right
exactly,
but
if
we're
going
to
I
mean,
if
we're
going
to
do
it
for
september,
which
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
competition
for
events
in
september.
A
lot
all
the
way
from
new
hampshire
down.
K
B
You
know
senator
satchel
called
me
a
few
months
back
and
they
were
looking
at
doing
a
vendor
truck
where
all
different
vendors
come
in.
You
know
he
was
looking,
but
he
was
also
looking
at.
You
know
they
wanted
to
do
a
one-day
event
with
the
town.
So
maybe
this
is
something
we
could
do,
but
they
didn't
want
to
buy
that
300
and
400
licenses
license
for
one
day
to
come
into
town.
To
do
this
event
and
we
adjusted.
C
That
last,
when
we
did
the
fees
yeah.
H
K
D
B
Any
questions
from
fox
and
rex,
besides
adding
15
000
for
special
events,
we
said
10.
10,
15.
10
to
15.,
okay,
there's
10
for
fireworks,
so
yeah.
H
L
F
D
F
K
Those
locations
belong
to
the
town.
I
mean
we
put
them
on
telephone
calls
right
by
the
way
private
citizen
couldn't
do
that
like
that
right,
so
the
banners
it's
it's
very
profitable.
It's
gonna,
it's
gonna,
make
make
us
probably
about
between
nine
to
eleven
thousand
dollars
on
those
banners.
So
it's
time
to
refresh
them
anyway.
So
you
know,
we've
got
a
lot
of
them
on
the
street.
H
H
F
F
I
believe
in
the
previous
budget
we
had
in
general
wages,
we
had
included
the
floater
position
plus
benefits
correct.
Well,
the
ben
yeah.
The
benefits
get
shifted
to
the
appropriate
line
item
and
the
salaries
is
just
the
the
number
you
see
for
the
79.
112
is
basically
just
the
positions
that
are
listed
in
the
personnel
supplement
for
the
salaries
and
the
benefits
are
where
the
benefits
should
be.
B
Now
councilman
giroud
in
the
back
setting
the
camera
and
the
camera
to
show
the
public
and
how
big
our
audience
is
tonight.
