Description
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).

So
what
I
have
asked
was
for
each
one
of
them
to
come
before
the
council.
Just
give
us
a
brief.
I
know
they
both
gave
brief
interviews
or
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
in
front
of
some
of
us,
but
I
said,
but
some
of
the
council
wasn't
in
attendance
of
that
meeting.
It
was
actually
a
democratic
town
committee
meeting.
So
I
told
him
I'd
like
to
have
him
here
before
the
council.
I
think
we
discussed
it
before
last.
A
C
So
first
I've,
obviously
to
start
by
giving
you
a
little
bit
background
about
myself
professionally
and
I
work
for
a
company
called
schneider
electric,
it's
a
global
specialist
in
energy
management
and
automation,
and,
right
now,
in
my
current
role,
I
handle
communications
for
over
24
thousand
employees
across
north
america.
I
also
support
our
executive
committee
in
north
america
on
change
management
issues
that
happen
within
the
the
company,
as
well
as
increasing
employee
engagement
across
our
our
employee
population.
C
I
really
believe
that
the
experience
that
I've
had
will
support
the
direct
objectives
in
the
public
school
strategic
plan,
especially
when
it
comes
to
the
idea,
which
I
think
is
step,
one
of
increasing
communications
and
student
engagement
across
the
town.
In
terms
of
more
about
me
personally,
I
bought
my
home
on
lexington
avenue.
I
live
on
79
lexington
avenue.
I
bought
it
about
2010
and
right
after
buying
it.
I
became
immediately
passionate
about
my
house
specifically
as
well
as
the
town
that
I
I
lived
in
and
that
pride
led
me
to
volunteering
within
the
community.
C
I've
been
an
active
and
continued
to
be
an
active
west
work.
Citizen.
I've
spent
my
time
volunteering
as
a
very
proud
elf
during
the
arctic
christmas
tree
lighting
cleaning
up
some
back
leg
path
during
the
earth
day,
wow
very
tall
cleaning
up
the
bike
path
during
the
earth
day,
celebration
behind
the
legion
and
supporting
our
local
residents
in
need
through
the
west
fork
lines
which
I've
been
recently
voted
as
the
president
of
this
past
year.
C
Just
some
background
about
the
lions
club.
Specifically,
we
support
the
youth
of
west
warwick
through
free
vision,
screening
in
our
schools,
and
we
also
purchase
glasses
for
children
who
are
unable
to
afford
them.
After
the
vision
screening,
we
purchase
supplies
for
the
youth
center
on
factory
street
and
we
also
support
families
who
have
children
currently
fighting
cancer
within
our
town
and,
most
recently,
we
supported
chartering
the
best
buddies
club
at
the
high
school
and,
if
you're
not
familiar
with
best
buddies.
C
It
is
a
program
that
creates
opportunities
for
one-on-one
friendships
for
people
with
intellectual
and
developmental
disabilities,
and
I'm
really
proud
to
say
that
after
the
first
year,
they're
thriving
as
their
first
year
building
lifelong
friendships
within
the
club,
and
we
recently
visited
their
end
of
year
celebration
at
the
high
school,
and
you
could
really
tell
that.
They're.
C
Doing
really
good
work
together
with
the
children
who
are
in
the
regular
population,
as
well
as
the
children
within
the
special
education
program
and
really
working
for
the
youth
of
westworld
with
the
lions
club
is
what
initially
spurred
me
to
want
to
run
for
this
position.
And
you
know
after
deciding
why
to
run.
C
C
My
research
also
led
me
to
find
out
great
things
that
the
district
is
currently
working
on
for
one
example
with
the
chromebook
initiative
and
finding
out
more
about
what
they're
doing
to
improve
the
education
and
engagement
with
the
students.
So
if
elected
and
appointed,
I
would
be
here
and
willing
to
support
the
efforts
of
the
school
department
and
make
sure
they
have
the
ability
to
continue
the
great
work
they've
already
started.
C
I
also
want
to
make
one
point
really
clear
today,
with
today's
national
state
and
local
political
environment.
We
are
really
seeing
some
people
starting
to
demand
change
and
I'm
here
to
tell
you
that
change
for
change
sake
is
not
productive
and
I
really
don't
stand
for
change.
I
stand
for
making
logical
fact-based
decisions
that,
in
the
end,
are
the
best
option
for
the
children
of
our
community.
Today,
I
really
don't
have
the
answers
for
everything
and
that's
okay,
and
that's
really,
because
I
don't
yet
have
all
the
facts.
C
C
C
C
C
C
D
D
B
D
Really,
whatever
there's,
if
you
want
I'm
sure,
there's
a
there's
a
future
for
you
bright
future
for
you
here
in
west
wallach
and
you
know,
welcome,
and
I
I
think
again,
you
did
a
great
job.
Did
you
have
you
come
from
just
a
little
background,
further
background
deeper?
Did
you
come
from
west
walk
originally,
no.
D
C
C
D
D
E
D
F
D
I
work
for
the
rhode
island
department
of
education,
so
education
is
very,
very
important
to
me
and
the
time
will
come
when
we
just
can't
afford
what
you
need,
but
it
might
be
part
of
the
basic
plan
that
the
state
has
and
there
might
be
required
things.
There's
gonna
come
a
time
when
you
can
have
a
real
conflict
and
you're
going
to
find
out.
We
just
can't
give
you
that
million
dollars
all
right.
How
are
you
going
to
handle
it.
C
C
We
can't
do
it,
let's
wait
until
next
year,
but
let's
you
know
agree
that
we
will
get
this
back
eventually
if
we
can,
if
we
can
do
that,
but
it
all
starts
with
being.
You
know,
communicative
and
collaborative
from
the
very
beginning,
because
if
you
make
enemies
with
people
or
if
you're
not
friendly
and
you're,
always
saying
no,
no,
no!
No,
when
there's
a
time
when
you're
in
need
people
won't
always
be
there.
You
know
and
willing
to
to
work
with
you.
D
G
G
G
B
D
B
D
Seven
weeks
away,
six,
if
we're,
if,
if
we're
forced
to
I
mean
it,
does
let's
face
it.
Let's,
let's
be
honest
here
it
it
does
give
a
person
an
advantage
if
they're,
if
they've
been
appointed
to
this
position
and
just
a
few
weeks
later,
there's
a
primary
and
you
can
campaign
off
of
it,
there's
all
sorts
of
things
that
give
you
an
advantage.
D
E
I've
had
some
I've
had
some
conversations
with
town
solicitor
about
this
and
one
of
the
things
I
agree
with
you
entirely
yet
in
fact,
the
only
thing
I
really
get
out
of
this
I've
I've
spoken
to
sue
and
I've
spoken
to
you
jasmine.
The
only
thing
I
get
out
of
this
is
I'm
considering
making
a
proposal
for
future
years
to
make
school
committee
at
large,
because
we
have
two
fantastic
candidates:
I'd
love
them
both
to
be
on
the
school
committee.
I
wish
there
was
some
way
ward
for
two.
E
E
D
And
we
have
two
great
candidates
here
and
you
know
we'll
see
again.
Yes,
we
really
do
it's
very,
very
difficult.
That's
why
I
said
win
lose
a
draw.
You
know
I
want
to
give
you
a
call,
so
you
can
serve
on
some
committees
or
economic
development
or
something
like
that.
That
can
benefit
the
town.
You
want
to
run
the
council
yeah.
B
H
H
D
H
H
That's
what
I
was
trying
to
get
at.
We
probably
should
do
the
second
interview.
Oh
yeah,
I
agree
yeah.
Well,
I
mean
I'm
just
saying
if
you,
if
you're
suspect
in
not
wanting
to
do
it
yeah
for
any
particular
reason,
whether
it's
political
governmental
I
just
want
to
let
you
know,
there's
no
penalty,
no.
D
D
It
was
like
you
know,
six
months
before,
though
I
wasn't
appointed,
so
it
probably
doesn't
apply
here,
but
but
it
does
give
you
an
advantage.
I
mean
benny
was
had
supported
me.
He
wanted
me
to
run.
It
does
give
you
an
advantage
like
that.
It's
almost
like
an
endorsement,
you
know
and
that's
where
it's
not
fair,
yeah.
Well,
you
know,
in
my
mind
whether
the
laws,
if
it's
the
law,
it's
the
law,
but
I
can
still
have
my
opinion.
A
A
So
it
could
be
important
that
over
the
next
eight
weeks
or
12
weeks,
actually
a
little
longer
than
that
going
into
november.
That
somebody
needs
to
fill
that
position
because
now
you're
not
talking
it's
not
just
fill
the
position
in
september.
It's
whoever
wins
between
them
now
has
to
face
a
republican
candidate
in
the
general.
So
the
school
committee
is
now
without
a
any
type
of
what
for
representation
from
july
till
november.
D
E
There's
plenty
of
representation
for
the
schools.
People
can
contact
me.
People
can
contact
the
chairman
of
the
school
committee.
I
mean
it's
west
war,
we're
a
tight-knit
community
so
to
say
that
the
the
citizens
of
ward
4,
don't
have
a
representative
on
the
school
committee.
They
can
call
anybody
and
get
results
on
the
school
committee.
It's
it's
not
like.
They
need
their
ward
4
representative
to
go
to
the
school
committee.
A
And
fight
for
those
what
I
meant
by
that
was
also
that
they
don't
have.
Sometimes
they
don't
have
a
quorum.
They
had
an
injury,
they
had
somebody
on
vacation.
So
now
out
of
four
people,
two
people
aren't
there.
You
only
have
two
people
show
up
to
a
meeting.
That's
you
know.
It's
happened
a
couple
of
times,
you're.
A
D
D
A
H
G
H
Yeah,
so
what
I'm
getting
at
is
the
mr
messier
resigned.
Chris
are
you
here?
Yes,
what
was
the
exact
date
of
your
resignation,
all
right
so
may
16th
to
the
21st?
It's
now
the
middle
of
july.
You
can
keep
delaying
and
keep
delaying
and
not
a
point.
But
again
at
what
I
mean
if
this
was
january,
would
you
waited
four
months?
H
D
D
B
A
G
H
I
D
H
I
D
I
I
I
I
was
the
second
daughter
of
four
daughters
to
william
and
madeleine
pelletier
doyle,
who
were
also
from
west
forward.
My
sister
carolyn
baby
aqua
is
a
teacher
at
st
joseph
some.
I
don't
need
to
get
into
the
whole
family
history,
but
it's
just
to
highlight
the
people
that
I'm
related
to
directly
by
blood,
which
is
my
sister
patty
doyle
chatel,
who
worked
for
cenavale
bank
for
over
34
years
and
sheryl
johnson,
who
actually
works
for
the
west
school
department
at
the
maisey
quinn
school.
I
I
currently
work
for
the
state
of
rhode,
island
in
behavioral
health
care
in
cranston.
I'm
an
administrative
assistant,
administrative
officer
for
the
prevention,
substance,
abuse
prevention
unit,
and
that
is
a
passion
that
I
have
is
substance.
Abuse
prevention-
I
was
very
I've-
always
been
very
involved
since
early
on
before
my
children
were
born
with
recreation,
the
town,
recreation
and
then,
once
the
girls
came
along,
I
was
very
involved
with
town
recreation.
I
I
That
is
one
of
the
foundations
of
what
I'm
looking
to
do.
If
I
were
to
be
on
the
school
committee-
and
I
would
still
be
involved
with
the
youth
in
town-
even
if
I
was
not
on
the
committee-
because
it's
always
been
such
a
highlight-
I
am
very
involved
with
the
I
was
involved
with
the
substance-
abuse
prevention
task
force
in
west
warwick
for
just
under
10
years.
During
that
time,
I
represented
was
a
liaison
from
the
elks
and
the
liaison
from
the
wizards
association,
of
which
I
was
the
co-president.
I
I
was
very
involved
with
youth
athletics
at
the
wizards
athletics
at
the
high
school,
as
well
as
the
drama
club.
One
of
the
big
things
that
I
would
be
looking
to
do
is
seek
out
grant
opportunities
from
the
department
of
ed
rhode,
island
department,
of
ed
to
fund
after
school
programs.
So
there
would
be
something
available
for
every
student
that
is
looking
to
do
something,
for
example,
a
technology
club.
We
don't
may
not
have
one
have
something
so
that
the
get
try
to
get
grant
funding.
I
You'd
have
a
teacher
faculty
member
or
an
adult
supervising
that
that
would
be
paid
out
of
the
grant,
giving
those
students
an
outlet
could
have
educational
games.
They
would
have
a
peer
opportunity
with
their
classmates
the
keeping
that
age
group
of
12
to
15
year
olds
that
are
too
they're,
too
old
to
be
in
daycare.
I
I'd
also
like
to
see
a
mentoring
program
begin,
so
you
can
take
the
children
that
are
at
that
12
year
old,
spot
12,
13,
14
year
olds
and
bring
them
into
I.
I
heard
a
commercial
about
the
boy
scouts
and
it's
just
seeing
where
they're,
making
future
leaders
so
you're
trying
to
get
them
involved
in
something
the
teachers
and
the
professionals
at
that's
at
school
level
are
doing
wonderful
jobs.
When
the
students
are
in
the
classroom,
it's
keeping
them
engaged
in
positive
behaviors.
I
Once
the
school
day
is
done,
the
athletes
have
forums
for
them
to
that.
They
mandatory
forums
that
they
have
to
attend
about
substance,
abuse
prevention
and
they
have
to
come
with
a
parent.
Why
that
doesn't
happen
for
all
of
the
clubs?
I
don't
know.
I
think
they
did
start
up
for
drama,
and
maybe
they
are
doing
it
now,
but
it
would
possibly
be
something
that
would
just
bring
parents
in
to
see
the
good
things
that
are
happening.
I
going
to
open
houses
when
my
daughters
were
in
high
school,
some
of
the
teachers
were
they.
I
I
If
you
show
up
you
know,
but
if
you
make
something
mandatory
and
there's
like
an
attendance,
I
know
it
sounds
rather
militaristic,
but
it's
just
some
parents
just
don't
know
how
wonderful
things
are,
and
then
that
speaks
also
to
what
jasmine
mentioned
about
the
communication
piece,
getting
the
information
out
to
parents,
so
that,
if
you
want
to
know
something,
that's
going
on,
it
becomes
a
primary
tool
to
reach
out
and
communication
is
two-way.
It
has
to
be
appropriate
to
listen
to
what
people
are
saying
and
that's.
I
One
of
my
I
feel
one
of
my
greatest
skills
is
the
ability
to
listen
to
what
people
are
saying.
Not
passing
judgment
filtering
the
information
remaining
calm.
I
do.
I
just
feel
I
still
have
so
much
more
to
give
to
the
town
I
did
run
for
school
committee
in
2004
came
up
short,
oh
well,
and
I
did
try
to
fill
vacancies
that
had
been
created.
I
I
don't
think
mr
messier
remembers
this,
but
when
he
filed
his
candidacy
papers
in
2012,
I
actually
was
in
town
hall
at
the
exact
same
time,
and
when
I
heard
that
it
was
someone
new
that
was
looking
to
run
for
office,
I
withdrew
my
candidacy
because
I
said
okay
we're
going
to
get
some
new
ideas,
some
new
people
in
there
I
didn't.
I
actually
didn't-
want
to
see
your
primary
have
to
happen.
So
he
was
your.
I
Fault,
so
that's
basically,
as
far
as
so
just
some
little
bullet
points
that
I
had
here,
I
I
do
feel
one
of
my
greatest
strengths
is
listening.
It
isn't
about
arguing
a
point
but
listen
to
both
sides
of
the
discussion.
It's
a
discussion
I
happen
to
see
today.
You
never
win
an
argument
with
a
negative
person.
You
don't
because
they
will
only
hear
what
suits
them
and
listen
only
to
respond.
E
D
No
you
your
your
presentation.
This
is
a
very
unusual
interview
process.
By
the
way
you
know
very,
very
unusual,
it's
not
a
you
know,
we're
not
sometimes
we're
not
traditional
and
we
we
go
off
the
beaten
path
and
do
things
differently
and
tonight's
an
example.
Sue
thanks.
You
you,
you
did
a
great
job
again,
your
resume.
Your
your
spec
sheet
here
did
a
speaks
for
itself.
Again,
we
have
two
fantastic
candidates.
D
You
know
we
really
do
and
you've
answered
all
my
questions
already
I
mean
I
could
ask
you
know
the
the
conflict
question.
What
happens
when
you're
in
conflict
you're
an
advocate
for
the
kids,
but
the
bottom
line
is
what
decision
do
you
make
when
it's
about
money?
The
town
can't
afford
it
and
the
school
department's
asking
for
it
and
we
start
to
battle
being
an
advocate
for
the
kids.
How
do
you
handle
it
again?
The
the
standard
answer
is
communication
which
isn't
a
bad
answer.
Yeah.
But
what's
your
answer.
I
I
There
are
some
ways
of
trying
to
gather
additional
funds
that
is
not
going
to
the
taxpayer
for
and
that's
where
the
grant
opportunities
would
be
so
critical.
Now,
when
the
bottom
line
comes,
I
mean
jasmine
did
have
the
perfect
answer.
There
may
be
some
things
we
just
we
just
cannot
do
it
this
year.
We
will
keep
it
on
your
wish
list
and
we
will
look
at
it
again
during
the
next
fiscal
year.
I
There
isn't
anyone,
that's
well-being
is
dependent
upon
a
certain
budgetary
item.
Let's
say
we're
not
talking
about
a
family,
starving
or
homeless
person.
I
mean
those
are
needs
that
families
need
that
families
deserve,
but
we're
talking
about
okay,
we're
going
to
have
to
put
off
the
purchase
of
that
copy
machine
contract.
That's
going
to
run
us
forty
thousand
dollars
over
the
next
four
years
that
we've
got
to
pay
ten
thousand
dollars
just
to
the
bottom
line.
To
use
make
all
those
additional
copies
we
have
to
fix
it.
I
Mr
marquette
got
a
wonderful
grant.
So
I
understand
from
one
of
the
students
who
is
going
to
be
a
10th
grader
next
year
he
was
able
to
get
that
funding,
nothing
off
the
bottom
line
from
the
school
department,
so
there
is
creative
financing.
I
know
that's
a
horrible
way
of
saying
it,
because,
especially
after
the
mortgage
crisis
of
that
creative
financing,
but
there
are
there-
is
money
there
and
having
the
right
person
to
be
able
to
go
and
find
it
in
by
way
of
grants
federal
grants.
I
work
with
my
department.
I
B
I
Already
in
17,
but
there
was
no
money
from
the
state
in
prevention,
it
was
all
federal
money,
so
there
is
money
there
and
now
they,
the
state,
of
course,
has
allocated
it
to
the
different
communities.
It's
the
same
way
with
the
department
of
vet.
I've
been
contact,
I've
been
given
the
name
of
john
murman
at
the
school
department
department
of
ed,
who
is
instrumental
in
monitoring
grants
and
a
website
called
thrive,
which
we
have
a
new
person
at
our
department,
a
denise
asian
who
is
extremely
knowledgeable
in
grants.
I
Picking
her
brain
to.
Let
me
know
what
we
can,
so
there
are
difficult
decisions
that
have
to
be
made,
but
it's
being
respectful
of
the
opinions
and
positions
of
the
people,
making
those
decisions
that
a
mutual
respect.
That's
there
to
come
to
a
resolution
and
if
need
be,
things
sometimes
just
have
to
be
put
off.
A
A
D
D
F
A
B
A
B
E
Like
I
said
earlier,
I
I
support
scheduling
the
meeting
where
we
appoint
whoever
is
chosen
by
the
people
at
the
primary
on
september
13th.
I
don't
care
if
we
schedule
the
meeting
tomorrow.
You
know
tonight
for
september
14th
or
september
15th,
but
I
would
feel
more
comfortable
making
the
appointment,
I
being
a
teacher,
and
I
ed-
I
know
you
said
you
talked
about
working
at
ride.
E
I
I
think
we're
in
a
good
place
right
now
between
our
school
committee
and
our
town
council,
and
the
last
thing
I
want
to
do
is
like
ed
was
alluding
to
is
politicize
the
process
of
school.
What's
going
on
in
our
schools,
because
it's
so
important
that
we
get
this
right,
so
I
don't
want
to
give
like
ed
said
any
edge
to
any
particular
person.
So,
let's
let
the
voters
make
their
decision
and
then
I
think
we
can
move
to
a
point
the
very
next
day
and
that's
what
I
recommend
and
that's
what
I
support.
B
A
A
I
think
that's
very
fair,
and
only
because
you
can
sell
yourself
to
the
voters
of
west
warwick
and
they
can
decide-
and
I
think
it's
very
fair
actually
for
sue
you've
been
a
lifelong
resident.
You
probably
know
a
lot
of
people.
I
think
it's
very
fair
towards
jasmine
being
in
the
community
for
five
six
years
and
getting
involved,
so
she
can
explain
herself
and
everything
else.
