C
Town
manager's
contract
resolved
at
the
town
council
hereby
approves
the
attached
contract
by
and
between
the
town
council
of
the
town
of
west
warwick
and
ernest
m
sling
zilinski
town
manager,
town
of
west
warwick.
Be
it
for
the
resolve
that
the
council
president
is
authorized
to
sign,
said,
contract
subject
to
review
and
approval
of
the
town
solicitor
and
the
administration
I'll.
A
Second
discussion,
as
you
know
what
everybody
here
has
seen
the
contract
we've
gone
over
it
it's
been
sent
to
ernest
malinsky
he's
given
as
long
as
we
approve
it
he's
given
his
notice
to.
Is
there
a
doorbell
somewhere
downstairs?
Somebody
keeps
ringing
a
doorbell.
A
So
this
has
been
back
and
forth
between
earnest
and
myself.
He
agrees
upon
starting
october
10th,
a
few
other
bullet
points.
F
E
A
E
E
Opposed
to
the
minute
to
the
minutes
and
and
I'll
tell
you
why
I
looked
them
over.
A
lot
has
come
out
in
the
last
month
regarding
the
minutes,
especially
the
item
where,
where
mr
reed
came
up
at
the
end,
he
spoke
for
a
while
mentioned
issues
with
the
the
planning
board.
The
attorney
general
litigation
with
the
town
there's
only
five
lines
in
the
minutes,
and
I
know
he
said
a
lot
more
than
that,
quite
a
bit
more
than
that.
E
D
You
know
I,
I
agree
jason's
right
briefing
through
the
minutes,
people
that
come
up
make
comments.
It's
not
on
paper.
It's
on
the
the
video
and
I
myself
is
not
gonna
vote
to
accept
the
minutes.
D
D
A
A
D
A
Want
a
minute:
by
minute
we
don't
neither
none
of
the
clerks
are
stenographers.
If
you
want
a
stenographer
here
at
every
council
meeting
to
put
down
every
minute
and
we've
had
that
in
the
past,
that's
the
only
way.
You're
gonna
get
every
word
in
here
verbatim
he's
a
stenographer
and
none
of
our
clerks
are
stenographers.
I'm
not
happy.
E
E
Word,
in
my
words,
there
are
some
some
words
that
I
mentioned
here:
the
ag
litigation,
the
planning
board
things.

A
C
Mdt's
tablet
purchase
resolved
at
the
town
council,
hereby
approves
the
two
mobile
data
terminals,
mdt's
purchased,
two
island
tech
services,
the
cost

the
getac
f-110
rugged
tablet
and
the
mounting
equipment
and
accessories
is

hundred.
Ninety
seven

one

the

would
be
funded

municipal
court
funds,
eleven
thousand
one
hundred
and
ninety
four
dollars
I'll.
F
Thank
you,
as
you
know,
in
the
past,
obviously
the
councilman
that
I've
been
here
a
while
realizing
no
councilman.
In
the
past
we
have
the
municipal
court
so
much
of
the
revenue
that
comes
in
from
from
our
accident
reduction
details
or
whatever
other
details
we
may
do
on
that.
F
That's
a
restricted
account
that
someone
is
returned
to
us
to
use
to
purchase
so
many
times
we'll
buy
new
laser
guns
to
radar
guns
mdt's
like
we're
doing
this
year,
which
we've
done
in
the
past
or
other
equipment
for
the
police
department.
It's
an
alternative
source
of
revenue
not
coming
out
of
our
budget,
not
coming
out
of
our
capital
budget.
So
it's
just
using
an
alternative
source
to
be
able
to
purchase
a
couple
of
computers
for
our
vehicles.
E
Question,
how
often
does
that
come
to
you
chief?
Do
you
get
a
quarterly
yearly
or.
F
I
A
A
second
moving
second
discussion:
myself,
tim
williamson,
the
solicitor
al
di
fiori,
the
attorney
for
planning
board
mark's,
had
conversations
about
this,
and
their
recommendation
is
to
deny
the
claim
and
based
upon
mark.
If
you
want
to
speak
more
since
you're
the
planning
you're
playing
dual
role
right
now,
but
and
then
we
could
let
mr
d
fiore
speak
on
it.
If
you'd
like.
A
G
So
I
I
got
to
copy
the
claim
on
friday
and
I
reviewed
it
actually
reviewed
it
today
and
basically
the
claim
states
that,
by
the
recording
of
an
administrative
subdivision,
more
or
less
a
right-of-way
or
public
right-of-way
was
dedicated
to
the
town,
that's
technically
incorrect,
and
the
attorney
is
also
claiming
that
the
planning
department
or
the
town
planner
violated
rhode,
island
general
law
in
recording
an
administrative
subdivision
after
the
fact
that
eliminated
the
right-of-way.
That
is,
in
fact,
also
incorrect.
G
There
are
several
avenues
for
creating
public
rights
of
way
under
rhode,
island,
general
law,
all
of
them
requiring
a
public
hearing
and
acceptance
by
the
town
council
or
the
planning
board
and
a
recording
of
a
deed.
None
of
that
happened.
While
there
was
a
representation
on
a
map
that
says
right-of-way
so-called
nunes
lane.
That
right-of-way
is
a
private
right-of-way
and
contained
totally
and
wholly
on
private
property.
So
there
is
no
public
right
of
way
there,
and
that
is
the
claim
in
the
in
the
attorney's
letter.
G
So
I
would
say
that,
based
on
the
fact
that
he's
claiming
there's
a
public
right
of
way
as
a
result
of
the
subdivision
being
recorded
is
incorrect,
there
was
no
transfer
of
land
from
the
property
owner
to
the
town.
There
is
no
acceptance
of
a
right
of
way
by
the
council
and
there
was
no
public
hearing
establishing
a
right-of-way
so
on
all
of
those
counts
which
are
contained,
and
I
can
give
you
the
sections,
rhode,
island,
general
law
that
addressed
those
there
was
actually
no
right
of
way.
D
I
just
if
I'm
not
mistaken
now
I
just
got
a
few
questions.
I
mean
right
wrong
or
indifferent
that
goes
to
court,
whatever
reads
and
foreign
properties
that
that's
going
to
be
settled
in
court,
but
I
have
a
few
concerns.
D
First
of
all,
the
streets
named
nunes
lane,
so
the
town
don't
own
that,
with
a
town
sign
number
one
number
two
there's
been
some
I've
seen
some
documents
that
were
filed
with
the
town
and
it's
sort
of
disturbing
to
to
me,
and
I
sat
on
a
planet
board
for
quite
a
few
years
when
someone
files
a
legal
document
that
legal
document
is
stamped
and
put
into
our
records.
D
That,
from
what
I
can
say,
was
not
the
one
that
was
filed.
There
was
another
paper
filed
and
I
apologize.
I
had
both
papers
and
I
left
them
down
my
shop
with
all
this
other
stuff.
I
have
a
concern
with
that.
I
also
have
a
concern
when
mr
reed
came
up
here
last
week
and
he
said
he
could
change
the
agenda
on
the
planning
board
changed
the
dates
he
showed
each
and
every
one
of
us
that
I.
D
You
can
address
them
all,
but
I
just
want
to
get
the
other
ones
out.
On
my
other
concern
was
I
lost
my
train
of
thought,
I'm
glad
to
address
it
well.
Thank
you.
A
I
I
went
home
and
did
exactly
what
mr
reed
said
when
you
download
something
to
your
computer
in
excel,
excel
format.
You
download
it
to
your
computer.
Okay,
you
can
enable
editing
at
any
point.
Okay,
and
at
that
point
you
can
enable
editing
and
do
whatever
you
want
to
that
document.
But
when
you
hit
save
it
doesn't
save
to
the
town
website,
it's
saved
to
a
directory
or
a
drive
in
your
computer,
whether
it's
a
c
drive,
whatever
drive
you
save
it
to
you,
can
save
it
to
your
desktop.
A
You
have
altered
the
document,
but
that's
not
the
correct
public
document,
so
I
can
alter
anything
I
want.
I
can
download.
I
get
files
every
single
day
at
work
from
people
that
have
excel
format.
I
click
enable
editing.
I
can
change
whatever
I
want.
I
can
change
any
number.
I
can
change
any
address.
I
can
change
any
name
once
I
hit
save.
A
D
A
Click
save
it
does
not
save
to
the
time
website,
as
possibly
some
have
claimed
that
night
and
that
wasn't,
mr
reid,
who
claimed
that
he
just
he
never
hit
save
and
he
didn't
know
what
it
did.
But
if
you
download
something
to
your
computer,
you
can
alter
it
in
excel.
That's
been
corrected,
everything
is
in
pdf
format.
Now
you
cannot
do
it
unless
you
get
the
excel
a
pdf
conversion
to
excel,
and
then
you'd
have
to
do
it.
A
D
And
the
other
thing
that's
concerning
is
the
claims
meeting.
I
know
we
always
met
when
I
was
the
president
you're
meeting
about
in
the
clerk's
office.
You
meet
with
the
solicitor,
sometimes
the
department
head,
where
it
happened.
You
meet
with
the
clerk
right
after
that
claims
meeting,
15
minutes
before
the
council
meeting.
It's
automatically
put
on
that
agenda.
It.
A
D
A
A
And
somebody
says:
approve
it
and
you've
denied
it,
because
you
know
how
much
the
car
parts
cost
yeah.
You
could
do
that
here
tonight,
but
right
here,
they're
saying
basically
according
to
this
claim,
is
that
they're
asking
us
to
overturn
what
the
planning
board
did.
I
don't
think
legally.
We
can
even
do
that.
J
First,
no,
you
can't
overturn
the
planning
board
exactly.
Secondly,
as
to
this,
this
whole
thing
about
the
record:
a
a
plan
was
submitted
to
the
planning
board
on
that
plan.
It
said
nunes
lane
right
of
way
or
something
when
I
reviewed
that
plan
to
me,
that
was
a
access
to
a
piece
of
property
in
the
back.
J
J
If
a
person
comes
before
the
planning
board
and
submits
a
subdivision,
and
on
that
subdivision
there
is
a
right-of-way
like
it's
named
here.
There
are
two
things
that
have
to
happen
before
that
becomes
a
public
way.
First,
it
has
to
be
accepted
by
the
planning
board
and
recorded.
Secondly,
the
town
must
take
possession.
J
J
Then
the
town
did
nothing.
The
superior
court
said
it's
not
a
right-of-way.
The
town
never
took
ownership
of
it.
The
second
case
when
they
took
it
over
the
town,
went
in
they
extended
it.
They
took
the
gravel
out
they
put
asphalt
in
the
town
actually
took
over
the
road
so
by
by
law.
In
order
for
this
to
have
become
public,
the
town
would
have
had
to
take
ownership
of
it.
The
town
never
took
ownership
when
it
was
submitted
to
the
planning
board,
the
then
owner
of
the
land
seeking
the
subdivision
owned
the
entire
apostle.
J
He
had
access
on
one
side
and
he
was
looking
for
access,
I
believe,
on
industrial
lane,
so
to
his
back
piece
of
property
he
put
in
access,
he
owned
the
whole
thing.
There
was
nobody
that
he
was
granting
any
rights
to
access
to
their
property,
so
this
was
never
in
the
wildest
dreams:
a
public
right-of-way.
J
I
don't
know
whether
the
documents
angela
was
referring
to
are
two
different
deeds.
I
have
seen
two
different
deeds:
one
of
them,
including
a
right-of-way
one
of
them
not
including
a
right-of-way.
J
A
Concern
is
I
don't
me
personally
what
I
see
here
against
the
planning
board
and
that's
why
it
became
a
denial
was
because
we
can't
overturn
what
the
planning
board
did
we're
taking
away
nobody's
due
process.
This
is
just
a
claim
that
they
sent
to
the
council,
the
council,
if
denies,
are
approved,
he
they
still
have
their
due
process.
If
they
have
to
go
to
court,
do
whatever
again
it
has
as
al
saying
we
didn't
record
it.
Somebody
came
in
here
and
recorded
it
now.
Mr
reed
has
said
some
other
individual
has
recorded
it
at
this.
A
A
H
G
So
so
I
think
there's
some
confusion
here,
councilman
in
that
what
the
planning
board
approves
is
a
plan
and
it's
a
it's
a
large
map
with
lines
on
that's
what
was
approved
by
the
planning
board.
That
plan
that
was
reviewed
and
approved
by
the
planning
board
is
the
plan
that
was
recorded.
I
think
after
the
fact,
as
as
mr
di
fiori
had
mentioned,
there
were
there
there's
some
there's
some
discrepancy
in
deeds.
Indeed,
that
may
have
been
that
I
I
reviewed
some
deed
language.
G
I
personally
reviewed
some
d
language,
which
is
different
than
the
deed
that
was
recorded.
However,
the
planning
board
the
planner
nor
the
town
has
any
responsibility
to
review
the
deed.
I
was
doing
that
as
a
courtesy
to
the
to
the
surveyor
to
double
check,
to
make
sure
there
were
no
errors,
which
you
know.
Sometimes
you
find
errors,
but
once
once
the
plan
is
recorded,
that's
the
plan
of
record
the
deeds
after
the
fact
can
authorize
access
to
easements
or
right
of
ways
or
or
they
may
not
authorize
easement
to
access
a
right-of-ways.
G
What
it
basically
does
is
transfers
a
piece
and
rights
of
interest
of
property
from
one
person
to
the
other.
That
is
not
reviewed
by
the
plane
report.
It
was
never
seen
by
the
planning
board.
It
was
seen
by
me
as
the
planner
now
when
I
saw
when
the
reeds
came
in
after
the
fact
upset
that
they
didn't
have
access
to
an
easement.
G
They
showed
me
a
deed
that
deed
did
not
have
the
language
of
the
deed
that
I
reviewed.
That
was
clear.
I
reached
out
to
the
seller's
attorney
and
I
expressed
to
him
the
fact
of
what
the
reads
had
presented
to
me,
assuming
that
the
deed
was
recorded
in
error,
either
that
it
was
an
earlier
version
of
the
deed
or
it
was,
it
was
just
the
wrong
deed.
The
attorney
then
emailed
me
back
said
he
would
check
with
his
client.
G
J
Points
angel
first,
at
the
time
the
planning
board
acted
the
property
owner
owned
the
entire
fossil
he
put
on
this
apostle.
This
thing
called
nunes
lane.
You
cannot
grant
yourself
an
easement.
An
easement
has
to
go
from
one
person
to
another
person.
He
owned
the
whole
thing.
He
couldn't
grant
anybody
an
easement
because
he
owned
it
all.
J
This
party
could
not
appeal
it
because
they
weren't
party
to
it.
They
didn't
own
anything
at
that
time.
So
at
the
time
that
it
was
recorded,
this
was
a
I'll
call.
It
a
driveway,
I
own
the
whole
piece
of
property.
I
got
a
piece
in
the
back.
I
built
a
driveway
to
get
to
it.
That's
the
simplest
explanation
of
this
thing
and
how
somebody
comes
along
and
I
sell
them
a
piece
of
property
up
front.
J
D
I
can't
put
it
up
now,
because
I
can't
afford
the
taxes,
so
I'm
not
putting
up
any
buildings
number
one
number
two,
when
we,
when
the
person
who
bought
that
property
off
me,
that
came
for
the
for
the
to
the
planning
board
to
get
the
permission
to
build
the
building,
we
had
to
show
where
our
doors
are,
where
the
entrance
was
going
to
be
where
the
exit
was
going
to
be
ingress
and
egress.
D
D
A
Okay,
that's
that's
what
I'm
saying
I'm
not
taking
away
anybody's
due
process,
I'm
not
taking
away
as
as
it
was
claimed.
You
still
have
a
process.
This
is
just
a
claim
that
we,
the
town,
feel
we
have
no
responsibility
of
this
because,
based
upon
what
came
before,
planning
was
just
a
piece
of
a
piece
of
land.
I'm
not
sure.
Was
there
a
building
on
that
land
right,
just
a
piece
of
possible
land
that
was
subdivided
there
was
no
buildings
or
anything
at
the
time
correct.
At.
J
The
time
of
the
the
application
of
the
planning,
it
was
just
a
just
a
piece
of.
A
Land
that
land
sold
now
two
attorneys.
I
I've
I've
bought
a
couple
houses
in
my
time
when
I
go
to
my
when
I
go
to
my
closing,
I
make
sure
everything
is
my
eyes
are
dotted.
My
t's
are
crossed
and
then
I
sign
off
we
I
know,
there's
this
much
paperwork,
usually
in
a
closing,
but
again
I
think
it's
between
both
parties
and
not
the
time.
That's
that's
all
I'm
saying.
F
My
name
is
brian
matimoyo,
132,
rolling
wood
drive
north
kingston,
rhode
island.
I
am
close
friends
of
john
and
derek,
been
friends
with
them
since,
since
I
can't
remember,
I
am
a
licensed
landscape
architect,
so
I
do
have
some
familiarity
with
reading
plans
like
this.
F
They
asked
me
to
review
it
on
their
behalf
and
I
think
one
thing
that
just
caught
my
ear
is
when
a
solicitor
here
said
that
an
easement
is
granted
from
that
mr
nunes
or
a
foreign,
he
owned
the
entire
partial,
but
as
I
reviewed
the
documents,
the
right-of-way
goes
from
industrial
lane,
which
is
a
town
road
to
a
parcel
in
the
back
there.
So
technically
there
is
it's
not
mr
news
going
from
parcel
a
of
mr
news
to
parcel
b
of
miss
and
moons.
F
J
The
apostle
it
was
owned
by
mr
nunes
in
the
back:
let's
call
it
apostle
b,
the
land
went
like
this
came
out
and
then
a
piece
of
that
land
came
down
like
this.
It
was
just
one
great
big
parcel
and
the
tip
of
that
land
came
down
and
went
to
industrial
lane.
It
was
the
same
way
as
if
he
had
built
a
house
back
there
and
put
a
driveway
over
there.
It
was
the
one
possible
that
strip
we're
talking
about
as
moons
lane
was
never
cut
off
from
the
big
piece
in
the
back.
F
And
I
I
also
find
it
insulting
to
the
constituents
in
the
town
that,
from
what
I
have
been
informed,
that
there
are
members
of
this
board
that
have
a
family
relationship
with
mr
nunes
and
everything.
A
That's
used
to
recuse
themselves
and
I'm
not
I've
accused
myself.
This
claim
is
against.
The
no
hold
on
this
claim
is
against
the
planning
board.
So
I
represent
the
planning
board.
Whatever
whatever
goes
on
between
mr
reed
and
mr
nunes,
I
will
say
mr
news
is
my
third
cousin.
Okay,
I've
accused
myself
usually
from
everything
I'm
not
even
here
discussing
mr
nunes,
I'm
discussing
the
planning
board
but
and
the
planning
board
represents
the
town.
This
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
matter.
The
town
is
not
responsible.
A
F
L
The
bottom
line
is
you're
asking.
This
is
what
was
asked.
I
didn't
have
the
town
council
to
revoke
the
illegal
administrative
subdivision,
correct
the
town
council
does
not
have
that
power
under
charter
statute,
rule
or
regulation.
Even
if
the
reads
are
completely
100
right
completely
everything
they
told
you
is
factual.
This
town
council
cannot
overturn
the
planning
board.
F
L
F
It
was
a
recommendation
if
you
haven't
talked
to
your
viewers.
I
simply
saying
that
if
you
I
went
to
the
town
of
west
works
website,
I
clicked
on
tonight's
agenda.
I
clicked
under
claims,
and
it
says
there
council
denial.
I
don't
have
the
entire
thing
there
to
me.
It
would
have
been
simpler
when
there's
a
pending
potential
litigation.
That
could
happen
here
to
just
say
that
this
is
a
recommendation
to
the
to
the
council
members
to
deny.
Then
it's
the
fire
reviews
job
to
say.
You
know
what
I
agree
with
you.
Council
council.
F
We
go
forward.
You
make
your
decision.
The
wreath
then
take
their
action
in
superior
court
if
necessary.
That's
all
I'm
suggesting.
I
just
think
that
it's
it's
a
little
gray
and
there's
a
is
a
very
easy
way
to
have
solved
this
by
being
a
little
bit
more
friendly,
which
is,
I
think,
what
mr
councilman
padula
was
hinting
at
in
his
earlier
question.
That's
all
I
have
to
say
I
have
no
hard
feelings,
so
does
anyone.
I
appreciate
you
hearing
my
thoughts.
Thank
you,
david.
G
J
D
A
F
Gentlemen,
tom
oates,
from
colonial
way.
I
have
a
just
one,
quick
question
on
this:
I'm
looking
here
at
an
official
west
warwick
seal
on
this
page.
It's
main
street
maps,
town
of
west
warwick,
rhode,
island,
web
gsp
official
site
for
the
town
of
west
warwick.
It
lists
clyde
street
main
street
industrial
lane,
garrett,
lane
and
nunes
lane
as
town
roads
is
that
google
maps,
because
no
it's
it's
a
west
wallet
site.
This.
L
Lane
clyde
street
those
other
streets
aren't
even
on
here.
If
you
go
upstairs,
that's
what
you're
going
to
find
yeah,
but
this
is
well
the
point
I'm
trying
to
make
tommy.
Is
you
go
to
18
different
of
those
sites
you're
going
to
have
18
different
maps?
The
town
has
no
control
of
what
they're
putting
on
our
maps.
F
G
Do
you
see
this
this
here,
industrial
language
see
how
there
are
two
lines
in
the
side
of
it.
Right
indicates
it's
a
tower
seat
side
street
yeah.
The
two
lines
indicate
the
town
of
industrial
india.
The
two
lines
indicates
downward.
There
are
no
lines
associated
with
either
one
that
indicates
paving
from
what
I
see
on
this
it
doesn't.
It
does
not
indicate
it
indicates
the
right
of
way.
That's
been
dedicated
and
accepted
to
the
town
by
the
town.
J
G
Here
why
they're
on
here
I
don't
know
they
probably
shouldn't
be
on
there,
but
that
does
not
indicate
there's
a
road
see
this
line
here,
as
that's
indicated
here,
yeah.
That
is
a
lot
okay
and
that's
probably
the
building
number
43,
but
that's
a
lock
right,
there's
no
indication
of
a
road,
so-called
garrett
lane
going
into
that
lot,
and
this
is
a
lot
there's
no
indication
of
a
road,
so-called
news
lane
they'll
need
that
lot.
This
is
the.
If
you
move
this
over,
you
can
see
the
full
outline
of
that
law
right
yeah.
G
L
L
A
L
We
haven't
met
since
a
town
era
shows
it
is
being
denied.
A
town
era
is
also
a
town
era
that
the
demand
is
on
the
website
when
the
town
council
is
fully
aware
that
there's
another
party
involved
in
this
is
that
an
error
say
that
again,
if
you
pull
this
up,
you
get
the
decision
that
has
your
name
on
it
from
a
month
ago,
okay,
town
error
and
the
complaint.
What
decision?
What
decision
do
you
have?
There's
been
no
decision
made?
No,
no.
A
On
the
agenda,
you
look
at
every
item
on
the
agenda.
It
says
town
council
president
approves
supposed
to
check
off
for
approve
if
it
got
denied,
he
could
make
it
a
better
way
if
it
gets
if
this
gets
approved
tonight
as
a
denial
like
it's
a
millionaire,
this
gets
amended
if
it
gets
approved
as
an
approval
not
to
deny
it.
So
you
already
find
yourself
to
figure
that
the
town
council
is
going
to
deny
it.
No,
no!
No!
Well,
then,
where
is
it?
A
A
F
F
L
He
has
a
right.
He
has
a
right
to
adjudicate
that
matters
all
right.
Let's
go
back
to
this
when
we
discussed
this
before
mr
williamson,
you
told
the
town
council.
This
couldn't
be
discussed
because
it
was
under
litigation
that
trump
I've
told
the
town
council
many
times,
many
things
that
they
don't
choose
to
follow.
Does
the
town
council
or
whoever
can
publish
this
claim
that
was
published
john
because
you
submitted
it
through
your
attorney
through
the
claims.
L
A
L
L
L
D
L
L
L
L
A
I'll
be
honest
with
you:
all
claims
meetings
have
taken
place
in
the
12
years.
I've
been
here,
and
I
think
many
years
before
that
is
the
town
council
president,
the
attorney
the
solicitor
and
all
others
involved
meeting
me
in
there
bring
it
whether
or
not
we
say
this
should
be
a
denial.
The
department
head
dave,
I'll
use,
dave
limbaugh,
for
example,
because
he
does
most
of
the
claims
if
a
pothole
happens
in
warwick
and
yet
they're
saying
it's
westward.
London
ave
is
a
perfect
example.
A
M
L
A
L
Can
you
read
that
please?
No,
I
don't
want
to
read
it
right
now.
Can
I
read
it?
No
john,
it's
the
town
council
meeting.
You
want
to
litigate
this
matter
file
an
awesome.
You've
been
promising
us
for
two
months,
you're
going
to
file
a
lawsuit
that
hasn't
happened
yet
how
come
first
of
all,
you
didn't
probably
get
in
touch
with
my
attorney.
Oh
yes,
I
did
several
times
from
him
said
you
haven't.
Oh
okay,
I'll
supply
you
with
that
car
swipe.
I
could
supply
with
the
same
correspondence
where
I
did
contact
him
all
right
now.
L
L
L
Need
to
know
what
a
mickey
mouse
operation-
oh
mistakes,
or
mistakes.
If
I
get
a
mistake,
I
gotta
pay,
for
it
john
put
your
complaint
in
right,
but
don't
these
people
own
up
to
it?
The
law.
Is
there
put
your
complaint
in
writing.
It's
supposed
to
have
minutes.
The
claims
meeting
is
supposed
to
have
minutes.
C
L
L
A
A
You
came
to
hear
you
came
before
this
council.
You
told
me
point
blank,
you
told
this
entire
council,
you
have
no
access
to
your
property,
which
I
don't
wait
a
minute.
I
drive
down
to
your
property
down
on
industrial
lane
and
say
wait
a
minute.
The
entire
property
is
on
industrial
lane.
How
can
you
not
enter
you
got
to
remove
curbs
okay?
Then
you
met.
L
A
A
L
Okay,
very
professional,
so
where
do
I
go?
Dpw
or
maybe
I
go
see
the
fire
chief?
No,
the
law
says
I
come
to
the
council
for
procedures
that
the
town
planning
board
didn't
follow.
You
can't
overturn
their
rulings.
I
know
that
and
they
just
come
off
the
turn-up
truck,
but
you
have
control
of
their
procedures
and
when
I
tell
you
that
the
plenty
more
president
said
there's
nothing
I
can
do
well,
then
the
council
says
well,
there's
nothing.
I
can
do
either
because
we
don't
control.
A
L
J
L
Asked
them
to
change
the
policies
of
the
planning
board
and
that's
going
to
change
the
policy.
What
are
you
asking
the
town
council
if
you
go
to
the
planning
board?
Yes,
okay,
we're
talking
about
plans,
plans
and
planning
boards
that
they
kind
of
go
together
that
are
in
that
office
that
are
falsely
put
there.
There's
references
on
deeds
that
are
looking
that
refer
to
plants
in
that
office
that
I'm
not
there
plans
planning
board.
I'm
not
asking.
If
I
change
my
deed,
the
planet
can't
do
that.
You
can't
do
that.
L
He
can't
do
that,
but
he
so
far
been
the
only
honest
one
I
can
find
okay.
His
very
first
thing
was
that
it's
not
what
he
approves.
That
is
not
what
he
recommended
coming
from
the
planner
in
an
email
brings
it
to
a
planning
board.
I
don't
know
what
you're
talking
about
he's
talking
about
it
right
away.
They
got
all
the
access
in
the
world.
Well,
he
approved
an
administrative
subdivision
that
shrunk
it
down
to
10
feet.
L
L
A
They
didn't
have
to
come
to
public
claims
because
they
have
to
go
before
the
trust,
because
one
was
an
injury
claim.
That
goes
to
the
trust,
which
is.
A
F
Thank
you,
council
jared
nunes,
52,
phillips
street
carpentry,
I'm
not
going
to
belabor
this.
I
know
this
has
been
a
pretty
contentious
meeting
up
to
this
point.
All
that
I
want
to
say
is
that
I
I
personally
take
offense
at
the
fact
that
anybody
is
insinuating
that
anything
underhanded
happened
during
this
transaction
between
two
business
entities.
All
right,
I'm
a
partner.
The
entity
that
owns
this
property
is
4n
properties,
of
which
I
am
a
one-fourth
share
partner.
F
Okay,
and
the
only
thing
I
can
assure
the
council
and
anybody
else,
who's
listening
here
or
watching-
is
that
the
only
thing
I
can
assure
everybody
is
that
the
piece
of
property
that
mr
reed
purchased
is
exactly
as
drawn
and
negotiated
in
which
he
closed
on
all
right
with
his
with
the
benefit
of
a
closing
attorney
all
right,
it
is
exactly
what
he
purchased.
I
have
a
plan
of
a
building
that
he
presented
to
me
and
said
I
want
to.
I
actually
subdivided
this
piece
of
property
for
him.
F
He
said
I
want
to
fit
this
building
on.
It
was
a
40
by
60,
two
bay
garage
with
an
office
in
the
front
and
two
doors
in
the
back.
Okay,
I
subdivided
this
piece
of
property,
exactly
as
mr
reed
asked
for
exactly
to
the
dimensions
that
he
asked
for
to
fit
this
building.
I
sent
him
a
proposal
for
me
to
construct
this
building
for
him,
including
the
land.
Okay,
including
the
land
with
the
price
of
the
land,
was
included.
F
Okay
and
it
was
subdivided
exactly
as
he
asked
for,
and
there
was
nothing
underhanded
here.
He
I
never
promised
him
access
through
my
property
to
get
to
his.
That
is
akin
to
you
selling
your
house,
and
you
know
the
person
who
buys
it
saying
well,
I
should
have
access
through
your
neighbor's
property,
to
get
to
your
house
as
part
of
this
transaction.
F
It
makes
no
sense
and
that
that
was
never
part
of
the
deal
they
didn't
come
till
months
after
the
closing
and
said.
Well,
we
want
to
change
the
configuration
of
our
building
and
now
we
need
access
through
this
thing
and
mind
you.
One
thing
that
I
want
to
point
out
is
that
mr
reed
has
never
contacted
me
since
this.
I
had
one
correspondence
from
his
attorney
to
my
attorney
saying
we
we
want
a
corrective
deed,
because
we
believe
this
was
an
error.
We
responded
that
no,
it
was
not
an
error.
F
This
is
exactly
how
it
was
negotiated.
Okay,
so
he
has
never
reached
out
to
me
once
ins
to
talk
to
me
about
this,
mr
padula
hold
on
one.
Second,
please
see
I
want
to
make
this
clear
if
he
had
reached
out
to
me
and
to
this
day
all
right.
I
I
prior
to
this
even
happening.
I
consider
them
friends
all
right.
I
would
buy
the
piece
of
property
back
from
them.
I
have
no.
F
F
K
D
D
D
You
stuck
mr
reed.
I
never
insinuated
that
he
was
lying
or
telling
the
truth.
I
don't
care,
that's
not
my
beef.
My
beef
is
certain
things
that
were
done
on
this
by
on
the
town.
I'm
not
happy
with
nothing
to
do
with
you
two
guys,
because
I'm
wondering
what
other
people
made
mistakes
with
their
filings
or.
F
Something
else
councilman
I've
heard
everything
from
there's
no
frontage
to
town
employees,
change
the
deeds
to
this
happened,
and
that
happened
all
right.
The
deed
that
is
recorded
in
this
town
hall
is
the
same
deed
that
mr
reed
signed
in
the
presence
of
his
attorney
at
the
time
of
closing
nothing
changed
from
there.
It's
the
exact
piece
of
property
that
he
approved
the
purchase
of
so
and
his
attorney
recorded.
It.
A
A
N
L
This
claim
is
to
demand
that
the
town
council
revoke
the
illegal
administration.
Excuse
me,
administrative
subdivision,
recorded
on
april
27
2016.,
there's
been
absolutely
no
evidence
presented
on
either
half
whether
it's
in
the
legal
sub,
the
subdivision
or
not.
But
more
importantly,
this
town
council
does
not
have
the
power
to
revoke
what
the
planning
board
did
period.
A
L
B
Okay,
councilman.
E
L
Why
are
we
even
doing
it?
Excuse
me.
So
that's
a
very
good
question,
because
again
between
mr
d
fiore
and
myself,
we
indicated
that
it
wasn't
properly
before
the
town
council
a
month
and
a
half
ago,
but
everybody
wanted
to
go
forward
because
that's
what
social
media
has
been
doing
to
this
dollar.
So
now
it's
before
you
guys
all
right,
there's
a
recommendation
that
would
be
denied.
L
Mr
peduler
is
abstained.
Mr
goslin
has
recused
himself
too
there's
a
three
of
you
left.
E
A
A
L
L
A
Second,
discussion
john,
has
worked
with
angel
and
I
the
longest
john
is
actually
retiring
and
gonna
go
part-time
at
his
local,
firm
and
he'll
be
spending
his
winters
in
flowers.
So
he
he
called
me
and
told
me
that
this
is
what
his
plans.
C
A
By
the
end
of
december,
he'll
be
resigning,
so
we'll
be
looking
for
a
new
municipal
court
judge
and
he's
definitely
been
a
very
fair
judge.
He's
always
done
a
good
job.
I've
attended
some
of
his
court
sessions,
not
because
I
wanted
to
not
really
because
I
wanted
to,
but
he's
always
been,
very
professional,
never
had
any
complaints
about
the
judge,
and
you
know
I
thank
him
for
his
service
for
all
the
years.
He's
done
done
this
for
us
20
years,
20
years
going.
D
On
I
want
to
just
reiterate
what
david
said:
john's
been
a
lifelong
friend
and
a
neighbor
in
the
natick
section.
All
my
life,
both
families
been
very
friendly.
Johnny
did
a
great
job,
as
judge
and
our
moderator
temporarily.
D
He
said,
and
he
owned
that
for
what
five
six
years,
but
I
want
to
wish
john
and
his
family
good
luck
and
I
thank
them
for
their
service.
J
A
J
A
F
C
A
And
second,
any
discussion
again:
patty
o'neill,
not
100
sure
why
he's
resigning,
but.
A
He
has
not
been
made
judge
yet,
but
I
think
he
has
been
a
point
he
will
be
appointed,
so
he
just
wanted
to
give
us
a
heads
up,
and
so
at
that
point,
if
we
accept
this,
we
need
to
considering
that
we
have
court
dates
and
everything
else
scheduled.
A
A
You
know
I
was
here
in
2006.,
his
appointment
was
controversial
and
councilman
padula,
and
I
were
definitely
two
that
weren't
supportive
at
the
time
and
but
he
proved
this
wrong.
He
did
a
good
job
as
a
prosecutor
office
attorney.
So
no.
D
It
didn't
prove
us
wrong,
it's
just
that
they
fired
a
prosecutor
with
a
94
conviction
rate
and
a
week
before
christmas.
So
that's
why
I
was
opposed
to
it.
C
D
Yeah
lee
did
a
good
job,
she's
been
on
that
board
for
quite
a
few
years,
and
I'm
chairman
of
the
of
the
sewer
subcommittee
and
bernie
can
attest
to
it.
We
have
a
good
crew
on
there
for
the
committee
and
we'll
be
sorry
to
see
you
go
yeah
because
of.
A
Second
resolution
moving
second
discussion,
mr
machado,
is
actually
a
constituent
of
mine.
He
lives
at
clyde,
towers,
he's
very
vocal
and
very
he's.
An
advocate
for
the
residents
there
and
he's
been
he's
been
actually
battling
some
illness
and
he's
still
attending
the
meetings
and
still
making
sure
he
can
speak
on
behalf.
He
has
a
decent
working
relationship
with
the
housing
authority
and
he
brings
all
matters
to
them.
So
I
highly
recommend
mr
machado
yeah.
D
J
C
B
G
Town
council
members,
as
you're
aware
in
reviewing
the
fiscal
year
17
budget,
it
was
discovered
that
the
town
was
running
behind
on
revenues
and
a
little
over
on
expenses,
and
we
had
determined
that
there
would
be
a
deficit
at
the
close
of
the
fiscal
year
if
we
did
not
take
action
to
resolve
the
deficit
at
the
time
that
we
were
looking
at
the
deficit.
G
G
As
you
can
see,
in
this
corrective
action
plan,
we
have
identified
sources
revenue
sources
intended
to
resolve
the
deficit.
Those
include
capital,
reallocation,
an
opeb
trust
fund
transfer,
that's
other
post-employment
benefits,
unassigned
fund
balance
and
opeb
pre-funding
contribution.
That
is
a
contribution
that
the
town
included
in
the
budget,
the
town
made
half
of
the
contribution
earlier
in
the
year
and
has
not
made
the
second
half
of
that
contribution.
G
G
We're
we're
hoping
that
the
deficit
will
be
slightly
lower
than
it
is,
however,
we'll
be
using
the
full
capital,
reallocation
of
285
102
and
the
full
opeb
pre-funding
contribution
of
371
738
and
the
variance
will
take
place
on
the
opeb
fund
transfer
not
to
exceed
500
000
and
access
of
the
unassigned
fund
balance
not
to
exceed
453
494..
G
E
G
Determined
it
really,
we
need
to
look
at
what
the
overall
allocations
will
be.
We'll
have
to
look
at
the
amount
of
money.
At
this
point,
I
believe
there's
1.7
million
available
in
the
opeb
trust
fund,
so
that's
to
be
determined
depending
on
the
the
the
ultimate
deficit,
we're
hoping
to
retain
as
much
of
the
unassigned
fund
balance,
the
rainy
day
fund
or
whatever.
We
refer
that
to
as
possible.
D
People
who
don't
know
I
brought
this
up,
everybody
kept
criticizing
me
for
being
against
the
five-year
plan.
It's
my
turn.
Unfortunately,
I'm
gonna
pay
daily
because
of
the
properties
I
own
and
the
different
trusts
and
different
llc's,
it's
thousands
of
dollars
that
I'm
gonna
lose,
but
I'm
going
to
be
honest
with
each
and
every
one
of
you.
D
D
D
Maybe
once
in
a
while
with
council
approval,
we
covered
a
two
hundred
thousand
three
hundred
thousand
dollar
deficit,
never
four
million
that
can
never
ever
be
replaced
and
I'm
gonna
do
another
thing.
That's
disturbing
to
me:
we
have
three
million
dollars
in
an
enterprise
fund,
the
sewer
enterprise
fund.
Every
time
I
ask
the
manager,
this
belongs
in
a
sewer
department
account.
D
No,
no,
and
it
was
all
excuses.
Bernie.
I
asked
bernie
to
be
here,
the
superintendent
of
it.
What
we're
doing?
I
asked
the
manager
that
three
million
dollars
is
surrounding
communities
money
if
there's
ever
a
trap,
anything
a
break,
a
major
break.
Anything
that
happens
could
cost
us
millions
of
dollars.
That's
what
that
money
is
put
aside,
for.
D
My
hat
goes
off
to
the
manager
for
going
and
looking
at
everything
that
I
requested
and
a
lot
of
other
people
requested
and
he's
been
right
on
the
money,
but
we
got
our
hands
full.
So
whoever
bought
that
five-year
plan
and
the
14
percent
of
taxes
we
already
paid
is
out
the
door
out
the
window
and
they're
gonna
say
we
gave
nine
million
dollars
every
year
to
the
pension
fund
yeah,
but
they
ain't
telling
you
we're
spending
9.5
everything
is
unsustainable.
D
E
E
But
he
just
mentioned
the
sewer,
the
sewer
fund-
and
I
know
that
some
that
something
we
touched
upon.
There
was
what's
left
of
that
three.
A
Million,
let
me
let
me
clarify
something
first,
I
just
want
to
talk
about
what
angela
said-
and
I
agree
with
majority-
is
what
he
said,
but
when
he
says
200
000,
so
when
he
says
7
million
went
down
the
tubes
in
2012
june
30th
the
auditors
came
in
okay,
it
was
4.6
million
dollars
in
the
rainy
day
fund.
If
everybody
remembers
2012,
that
was
the
cruel
action
to
saved
five
percent
cut
five
percent
from
the
schools
everybody
rallied
the
school.
In
our
rainy
day
fund.
A
A
Wait
a
minute,
but
I'm
going
back,
you're
saying
five
year
plan:
the
five
year
plan
didn't
come
until
the
end
of
14
and
15.
2012;
okay,
it
was
4.6
2013,
4.5
fred
inherited
mike
stamfler's
budget
in
2014.,
okay,
stanford
created
that
budget
ended
up
with
a
shortfall
where
3.6
million
in
here
as
a
council,
I
have
all
13
resolutions.
A
The
council
approved
one
point:
one
million
dollars
out
of
the
rainy
day
fund
to
go
to
handicapped
fishing
pair
75,
000
civic
center
fire
upgrades,
400
000,
labor
specialists,
75
000,
unbudget
salaries.
Sixteen
thousand
dpw
truck
131
thousand
nine
hundred
labor
arbitration,
six
thousand
centennial
committee,
ten
thousand
actuarial
services;
thirty
five
thousand
pension
post
postage,
ten
thousand
negotiation
expenses.
A
Thirty
thousand,
please
sell
block
repairs.
Twenty
two
thousand
civic
center
roofs,
two
hundred
thousand
saint
germain
track
twenty
thousand,
so
we
approved
a
million.
So
now
we're
down
to
two
point:
two
point:
five
million
previous
council
correct
right
previous
council.
A
Now
over
the
years,
there's
been
other
expenditures
that
no
fault
of
yours,
jay,
the
75
000
handicapped
fishing,
pier
was
closer
to
a
half
a
million
dollars.
Okay,
the
first
councilman
who
introduced
that
told
us,
is
going
to
cost
us
75
000.
It
ended
up
being
500
000.,
no
fault
of
yours,
okay,
no
fault
of
anybody's,
not
even
that
council
person,
because
that
was
brought
to
us
as
a
fishing,
pier
75
thousand
dollars.
They
hit
ledge.
A
D
A
A
We
took
back
the
civic
center,
almost
a
half,
a
million
dollars
to
get
that
back
up
to
par
a
zamboni
and
all
the
all
the
electrical
work
get
the
ice
rink
back
up
and
running
and
function.
How.
A
A
Two
of
them
one
was
fire
fire
over
time,
which
was
over
300
000,
severance
payments,
which
is
very
rarely
in
the
budget
because
you
don't
know
who's
retiring
so
when,
let's
just
say,
chief
silver
retires
and
gets
a
70
thousand
dollar
check
of
all
the
sick
time,
and
all
that
that's
not
in
the
budget.
Those
are
surprise
items.
A
A
It's
not
200
a
little
less
than
that,
but
who
that
wasn't
in
the
budget
for
fi
fire
fire
truck
frame
repairs.
You
know
so
I
understand.
Like
I
read
the
article.
I
read
your
article.
I
understand
your
frustration,
there's
about
1.7
to
2
million
dollars
that
wasn't
authorized
by
the
council.
I
totally
agree
with
you
and
they're
both
on
shortfalls
of
800
000
on
each
side.
300.
D
A
If
you
want
to
say
that
there's
actually
non-spendable
in
june
30th,
2016
non-spendable,
205
thousand
dollars
in
the
rainy
day
fund
committed
money,
994
000.
john
mark,
what
was
that
committed
money,
994
capital
and
then
unassigned
453
000,
so
your
rainy
day
fund,
if
you
want
to
say
because
committed
and
non-spendable,
and
that's
what,
when
you're
saying
all
that
throughout
the
years
that
three
million
six
3.6
million
also
included
non-spendable
restricted
and
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
say
right
now:
there's
1.6
million
dollars
in
that
rainy
day.
No
there's
nothing!
A
D
G
I'm
not
sure
that
that
committed
number
is
is
that
accurate,
john
9
994
994
361.
as
of
june
30th,
but
what
you've
got
there
is
that
that's
a
committed
amount
of
money
that
is
not
the
unassigned
fund
balance.
So
the
you
know
the
the.
If
you
want
to
compare
apples
to
apples,
the
unassigned
fund
balance
in
2014
was
3.4,
and
today
it's
453..
G
Thank
you.
The
june
30th
2014,
the
overall
fund
balance
was
3.6
today,
the
overall
fund
balance
is
1.6.
That
includes
the
the
committed.
So
there
were
deficits
in
2015.
A
D
D
We
had
the
money
in
in
the
rainy
day
fund.
We
never
touched
it.
No
wonder
why
everybody
looked
at
me
when
I
had
three
eyes.
I
said:
let's
get
six
hundred
thousand
instead
of
paying
juice
on
it,
let's
use
our
own
money,
it's
only
sitting
in
a
fund
in
2012.
You
had
that
money
in
you
weren't,
using
the
sewer
sewer
enterprise
fund
and
we
weren't
two
point.
A
D
A
A
Here
and
you-
and
you
brought
that
three
million
dollars
to
me
three
or
four
times
in
our
conversations
over
the
phone
or
whatever
in
person
and
I
was
shocked-
I
said
well,
I
gotta
go
look
into
this
and
then
john.
I
had
a
conversation
with
john
john
says
at
any
given
time
that
the
sewer
department
asked
me
for
three
million
dollars.
I
can
supply
that
and
I
said
well
show
me
how
then
he
shows
me
per
my
request:
investment
balances
and
interest
rates.
Centerville
bank.
A
We
have
ninety
five
thousand
dollars
in
it
at
a
point.
One
percent
interest
rate
washington,
trust,
540
000
at
0.25,
washington
trust
at
3.6
million
at
0.25,
northern
capital,
516
000.
At
one
point,
so
you
got
four
and
a
half
million
dollars
somewhere
that
if
they
ask
for
it
it's
there
now,
when
somebody
says
it's
not
there
and
I
know
mark's
getting
ready.
I
asked
him.
D
D
How
that
surplus
came.
I
don't
know
what
kind
of
numbers
that's
why
I
told
you
you
need
a
financial
guy
in
at
that
position.
Yeah
put
a
town
planner
in
a
job.
It's
like
me,
letting
you
sit
down
my
salvage
out
of
my
auto
sales
yard
and
tell
you
to
run
the
daily
operations
he
took
off.
He
knew
that
this
was
coming
down
the
road.
I
don't
care
what
anybody
says.
D
A
Angelo
the
other
thing
I
do
want
to
point
out,
and
none
of
you
have
had
it,
but
every
year
we've
received
an
audit
from
2012
on
every
year.
We
sit
here
and
a
gentleman
comes
up
here,
tells
us
what's
going
on
in
the
audit
every
year
you
get
a
file
that
looks
nice
and
pretty
has
a
little
town
hall
picture
or
whatever
it
may
have
on
it.
D
A
D
A
D
D
D
E
E
G
It
could
go
back
into
a
fund
excuse
exclusively
for
the
sewer
plan.
I
would
not
recommend
that
you
do
that
at
this
point.
However,
because
we'd
be
busted,
how
come
there's
there's
the
town
has
about
seven
million
dollars
in
in
liquid
asset
in
a
checking
account.
That's
a
combination
of
sewer
authority,
money,
town
money
and
school
department
money
that
money
is
being
used
to
pay
pay
bills
across
the
board
for
the
sewer
authority
and
the
town.
The
school
department
pays
bills,
but
they
pay
based
on
the
town
providing
them.
G
My
concern
and
it's
my
concern
as
the
as
the
town
manager
today
would
be
if
you
were
to,
if
you
were,
to
remove
that
three
million
dollars
and
put
it
into
a
separate
account
that
there
could
be
a
point-
and
I'm
not
saying
we're
at
this
point
today,
but
there
could
be
a
point
where
the
town
would
not
have
enough
liquidity
unless
it
started
to
cash
in
those
other
accounts
and
draw
that
money
in
it's
a
very
complicated
issue.
Okay,
to
continue
to
pay
those.
What.
D
D
A
M
A
M
G
G
G
D
E
This
is
off
the
topic
of
the
super
mission
now
next
year
at
this
time-
and
I
know
we've
spoken
about
it,
but
where
are
we
going
to
be?
E
G
So
so
you're
a
couple
of
things.
The
premise
is
that
we're
expecting
a
deficit
in
2018
right.
So
that's
that's
the
premise.
So
so,
basically,
what
we're
going
to
do
when
the
new
town
manager
gets
here
is
we're
going
to
sit
down
and
we're
going
to
recreate
the
2018
budget
I've
already
issued.
I
was
going
to
save
this
for
the
manager
report
and
I
think
you,
gentlemen,
have
received
it.
We've
issued
a
spending
freeze
for
the
for
the
fiscal
year
2018.
G
No,
we
will
not
authorize
any
non-essential
spending,
so
we've
already
taken
begun
to
take
action
to
resolve
any
potential
deficit
in
the
18
budget.
We're
going
to
go
we're
going
to
look
at
the
18
budget,
we're
going
to
look
at
the
collection
rates,
we're
going
to
look
at
prior
collectibles.
We're
also
going
to
look
at
the
expense
of
the
expenses
that
have
been
budgeted
and
we're
going
to
put
in.
You
know
the
numbers
that
we
believe
are
appropriate
in
the
collection
rates
that
you
know
historically
have
been
achieved
by
the
town.
G
If
we
find
that
there
is
a
variance
between
the
revenue
and
expenses-
and
we
don't
know
that
there
is-
but
I
suspect
that
there
probably
is-
we
will
take
corrective
action
similar
to
we're
doing
this
evening
earlier
on
in
the
year
where
we
can
stop
spending.
We
can
stop
capital
improvements,
we
can.
We
can
do
certain
things
to
to
save
money
as
opposed
to
find
money.
That's
that's
the
plan
thanks
bernie.
D
How
many
sewer
subcommittee's
meetings
have
a
myself
or
yourself
as
then,
acting
as
then
the
whatever
planner
manager
about
our
sewer
enterprise
fund?
What
were
we
told
every
time.
M
It
was
brought
up
probably
three
or
four
meetings
going
back
to
the
end
of
2016
and
beginning
of
2017.,
but
just
to
go
over
the
financial
a
little
bit.
What
I
received
just
last
week
from
from
our
auditor,
the
3.154
million
that
we're
talking
about
investments
that
center
of
the
centerville
bank,
that's
in
the
sewer
enterprise
investment
fund,
there's
another
3
million
83
000,
that
is
in
reserve
as
bond
payment.
So
when
we
take
out
bonds,
we
have
to
have
so
much.
We
have
to
hold
so
much
for
final
payment.
M
That's
the
3
million
83
000..
The
remainder
2.6
million
is
what's
in
the
general
fund.
If
I'm
correct
now
I
the
only
thing
I
the
only
thing
I'd
like
to
point
out
tonight
is:
I
came
to
the
council
two
years
ago,
talked
about
assessment
money,
how
we
needed
to
be
putting
money
aside
for
catastrophic
failures
of
our
sewer
system,
and
I
asked
to
take
the
assessment
money
put
half
of
it
away
and
then
last
year
I
came
back
and
said:
take
100
of
it
and
put
it
away.
M
I
mean
I
can't
answer
the
question
as
far
as
when
it
started,
I'm
sure
it
was
probably
20
30
years
ago.
Oh,
we.
F
L
When
the
bonded
issue
regarding
the
72
stuff
finally
gets
trading
down,
it
was
under
rick,
padulla,
al
manning
and
john
rock
were
on
the
council
at
that
time.
They
finally
flip-flopped
with
a
sewer
committee.
Sewer
commission
was
no
longer
paying
the
town
back.
So
that's
at
the
point
in
time
when
the
money
was
in
the
echo.
M
But
when
I
did
come
up
at
the
sewer
commission,
as
angela
was
talking
about,
it
was
mentioned
that
we
could
put
it
aside
in
a
sewer
sewer
fund,
but
in
in
the
general
fund.
That
million
dollars
for
the
assessment.
A
D
M
Mean
we
do
we
do
sewer
billing
down
there,
which
is
a
major
major
major
part
of
our
work
down
here.
As
far
as
the
finance,
I,
I
think
you
would
definitely
need
more
more
employees.
I
Allen,
alan
g
palazzo,
five
robin
lane,
u.s
navy
retired,
and
I
think
many
of
you
have
been
here
for
a
while
agree
that
I
know
the
westward
pension
fund,
or
at
least
I
used
to.
I
followed
it
for
17.
I
I
know
I
want
to
address
it,
okay,
because
I
heard
something
here
tonight
that
really
disturbed
me
where
we're
coming
up
with
this
money.
This
five-year
plan,
the
teachers,
the
police,
the
fire
department,
municipal
employees,
came
up
to
the
plate
and
agreed
to
concessions
to
do
things.
Okay,
and
when
I
first
started
raising
red
flags
on
the
pension
fund,
it
was
98
funded,
I
believe
the
latest
I
saw
it
was
somewhere
less
than
18.
I
The
issue
that
bothers
me,
more
than
anything,
and
hopefully
municipal
employees
and
police
and
fire
who
are
sitting
here
took
notice,
was
the
fact
that
the
town
plans
on
taking
other
post-employment
benefits
that
are
owed
to
those
people
that
will
that
are
owed
by
the
town
and
they're
plugging
a
gap
with
it.
This
is
the
same
bs
that
got
us
into
trouble
with
the
pension
in
the
first
place,
and
I
heard
the
statement
that
oh,
it's
not
required.
I
believe,
I'm
not
sure,
because
I
had
gave
up
on
the
pension
fund.
I
I
told
you
when
I
gave
up
on
the
way
this
town
does
business
it's
either
gas
45
or
gas
48.
That
requires
that
the
towns
set
aside
funds
for
other
post-employment
benefits
and
right
now
you're.
Maybe
they
didn't
understand
it,
but
I
sure
the
hell
did
and
it's
an
issue
that
they
need.
If
I
were
them,
I'd
be
going
out
and
buy
tar
and
feathers
after
this
meeting,
because
you're
doing
it
to
them
again,
you're
doing
it
to
them
again.
They
may
not
realize
it.
I'm
raising
a
red
flag
again
tonight.
I
I
I
I
Okay,
that's
an
unnecessary
expense,
and
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there.
I
am
warning
this
town
and
the
employees.
You
are
headed
into
dangerous
waters
once
again.
Okay
and
that's
what
I'm
talking
about
is
the
deficit
and
what's
happening
with
the
other
post-employment
benefits
and
guess
whatever
it
is
45.
I
think
it's
40,
because
I
know
what
you're
saying:
okay,
60,
not
what.
I
I
And
you
know
I'm
just
about
gonna,
throw.
G
My
hands
up
just
can
I
can
I
just
make
one
statement
just
just
to
correct
something.
You
said
you,
I
understand
what
you're
saying:
there's
no
requirement
that
the
town
pay
in
advance
for
other
post-employment
benefits
and
I'm
not
saying
that
that's
right
or
wrong.
I'm
just
saying
that.
That's
the
fact
of
the
matter.
The
requirement
is
that
the
town
account
for
those
so
that
they
they
basically
carry
that
on
their
ledger
sheet.
G
G
I
G
G
G
A
Alan
just
just
to
clarify
something
and
just
to
throw
quick
numbers
out
there
in
2002
or
2000.
The
payout
per
year
from
the
pension
fund
was
1.4
1.5
million
dollars
and
I'm
might
be
off
by
a
hundred
thousand.
Here
there
2010
it
was
over
four
million
dollars.
Okay,
2017
we're
at
nine
point
something
million
dollars
per
year.
Payout
and
pension.
A
D
D
A
Could
you
imagine,
let
me
ask
you
this:
you
keep
saying
that,
but
if
we
would
have
stayed
at
fiscal
so
from
2008
to
2013,
we
averaged
about
2
million,
I'm
saying
average.
Add
them
all
up.
We
average
2
million
dollars.
If
we
continue
just
putting
two
million
dollars
in
and
paying
out
nine
we're
seven
in
the
hole.
Do
you.
D
I
The
people
who
advise
this
town-
and
I
said
hey-
you
can
go
after
them.
You
may
not
recover
20
million
dollars
that
was
being
spent,
but
god
4
million,
is
better
than
losing
20
and
people
ignored
that
because
the
political
powers
behind
the
walls
didn't
want
to
hear
it.
So
I
pity
you
guys,
because
you
are
stuck
with
a
mess-
and
you
know
I've
distanced
myself
for
a
long
time
from
becoming
involved,
but
I'm
upset
now
I'm
upset
with
the
legal
fees
we
pay.
I'm
upset
with.
I
What's
happened
to
the
rainy
day
fund,
oh
by
the
way,
that's
required
by
the
town
charter
to
be
maintained
at
five
percent
of
the
out
of
the
municipal
budget
school
department.
They
may
have
a
surplus,
but
we
have
to
maintain
that
little
level
of
effort.
We
know
that
for
a
fact,
so
I'll
just
leave
it
there.
Hopefully
the
town
employees
will
take
a
stand.
K
I'm
helene
anderson
and
I
live
at
650
east
branch
out
here.
K
Quaker
valley,
condominiums,
650,
east
greenwich,
you
poor,
guys,
are
getting
bombarded
by
the
navy
because
I
was
also.
I
also
worked
for
the
navy,
I
retired,
and
I
was
a
project
manager
and
I
manage
budgets,
500
million
and
up
so
I
know
a
good
budget.
When
I
see
it
and
I
know
a
bad
budget
when
I
see
it
and
unfortunately,
I've
had
many
opportunities
to
sit
in
on
budget
meetings
for
projects
that
were
way
over
budget.
K
K
You
don't
I
look,
I
I
really
had
to
dig
for
information
thanks.
I
really
had
a
dig
for
information
on
state
websites
on
the
town
websites
to
get
all
of
the
information
that
that
I
really
needed
to
understand.
Where
is
the
budget
where's
the
money
going?
Where
has
it
gone?
K
Where
what
do
we
have
for
our
2018
budget
and
there's
just
some
very
basic
things,
you're
doing
wrong
bottom
line?
One
of
the
things
you're
doing
wrong
is
when,
when
a
department
consistently
spends
over
budget
on
a
budget
line,
you
need
to
increase
that
budget
line
for
the
following
fiscal
year
or
tell
the
department
head
that
he's
going
to
figure
out
how
to
stay
within
that
budget
line.
A
Helene
one
thing
during
our
budget
season
and
I'll
stick
up
for
the
fire
department
in
one
aspect
when
it
comes
to
overspending
with
overtime,
is
the
council
cut
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
overtime
on
the
fire
chief
when
he
can't
propose
his
budget?
He
said,
please
don't
do
it.
You've
already
cut
my
budget
you're,
going
to
cut
my
budget
300
000
and
we're
going
to
overspend
and
it's
going
to
fail.
He
won
the
council.
The
council
went
ahead
and
still
moved
that
budget
forward.
A
K
K
When
you
see
when
we,
when
a
budget
comes
to
you
for
review,
you
should
have
a
balance
sheet
coming
with
it.
The
balance
sheet
should
tell
you
what
your
current
assets
are
and
what
your
current
liabilities
are
and
what
your
monthly
expenditures
are.
You
should
have
a
12-month
monthly
expenditure
chart
that
comes
with
that
budget.
K
The
current
the
2018
budget,
I
looked
at
had
actual
expensive
information
up
to
1231,
but
that
information
is
useless
in
a
budget.
That's
not
getting
approved
until
may
so,
and
you
had
information
up
to
april
30th
and
could
have
been
in
that
budget,
but
it
wasn't,
it
should
have
been.
K
You've
got
four
million
dollars
in
unrestricted
funds
in
for
the
school
department
which
are
they're
not
exactly
committed.
They're
planned,
that's
a
big
slush
fund
in
a
school
department,
and
they
actually
should
not
have
that
much
money
as
a
slush
fund,
so
that
all
of
those
expenditures
should
be
decided
on
by
the
council.
K
And
I
think
I'm
hearing
that
you
maybe
want
to
use
that.
B
G
You
cannot
rhode
island
general
law
requires
a
minimum
maintenance
of
effort.
That
means
that
the
town
council
cannot
reduce
the
appropriation
to
the
school
department
from
one
year
to
another,
so
whatever
money
they
have
they're
allowed
to
keep
if
they
realize
additional
money
during
the
fiscal
year,
either
federal
estate
money
they're
allowed
to
keep
that
that's
rhode,
island
law.
K
E
Thank
you.
Could
this
happen,
though,
if
I'm
just
using
your
numbers,
say
four
million
dollars
in
the
in
the
black
as
a
slush
fund,
we
can't
take
that
from
them
or
request
it
from
them,
but
in
conjunction
with
with
working
together
for
the
better
interest
of
the
town,
could
they
say
to
us:
he
has
four
million
dollars.
We
haven't
used.
G
Can
I
I
just
want
to
correct
one
thing-
and
I
know
people
use
jargon
in
terms,
but
I
would
not
refer
to
that
as
a
as
a
slush
fund.
Well,
a
lot
a
lot
of
that
money
is
being
used
for
capital
expenses
and
I'm
not
here
to
defend
the
school
department
but
capital
expenses,
improvements
to
school
buildings,
improvements
to
programs,
sir.
K
Thing
I
saw
from
you
said
was
that
800
000
had
been
used
in
the
last
year
for
that
793
thousand,
which
means
the
rest
of
it
is
just
planned
not
used.
Well.
A
I
can
tell
you
that
they
used
right.
Look
just
look.
If
you
take
a
look
at
the
high
school
middle
school
alone,
webster
night
drive
the
track
and
field
the
lights,
all
that
came
out
of
their
surpluses.
That
would
not
have
happened
without
those.
Without
that
I
understand
they've
done
all
capital
improvements
electrical
sprinklers,
all
that
stuff
they're
taking
out
of
there.
Instead
of
coming
to
us
and
saying
we
need
this
money,
they
they're
actually
utilizing
they're,
not
using
it
for
salaries
or
benefits
right
now,
they're
using
it
for
capital
improvement.
I.
K
Clear
it
was
clear
in
the
audit
report.
What
was
going
on
with
it,
it
was
also
about
four
million,
is,
is
a
fair
amount
of
money
and
they
really
should
be
coming
back
and
they
up
to
you.
You
know
if
they've
got
a
million
dollars
left
over
at
the
end
of
the
year,
their
school
budget
was
a
million
dollars
too
high
bottom
line.
You
know.
G
Think
we
need
to
show
you
outside
the
box.
The
school
department
creates
a
budget
that
budget
goes
to
the
school
committee.
The
school
committee
approves
the
budget.
That
budget
request
is
then
forwarded
to
the
town
council,
town
council.
If,
if
the
budget
is
requesting
an
increase,
the
town
council
has
the
ability
not
to
grant
the
increase.
If
the
budget
is
level
funded.
The
town
council
is
required
to
provide
that
minimum
maintenance
of
effort.
Can
the
school
department
ask
for
a
budget
that
is
below
the
current
maintenance
of
effort?
G
Yes,
they
can.
Are
they
likely
to
do
that?
No
they're,
not
the
the
school
committee
and
the
town,
and
I
you
know
I'm.
G
Okay,
not
in
the
school
side
of
the
budget,
and
it's
not
included
in
the
school's
maintenance
of
effort,
so
that's
a
benefit
that
the
school
department's
providing
the
town.
I
don't
know
you
know
to
what
degree
I
don't
know
their
projects.
Also,
the
school
department
has
agreed.
They
agreed
last
year
this
year
and
we've
been
discussing
it
with
them
and
and
they're
very
we've
been
very
clear
with
them
that
we're
hoping
and
we
suspect
that
they
will
be
coming
with
a
level
funded
budget
next
year,
not
asking
for
an
increase
in
appropriation.
A
K
Well,
two
more
things
actually,
I'm
gonna
hand
this
to
you,
because
I
have
a
question
about
that
I'll.
Let
you
take
a
look
at
it,
the
you
know.
It
really
isn't
fair
to
the
to
the
town
finance
manager
when
companies
are
building
are
billing.
You
know
many
many
months
in
a
rare.
You
know
it's
hard
to
it,
because
really,
what
he
should
be
doing
is
identifying
a
liability
at
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year
for
all
of
that
money.
K
That
has
yet
to
be
built
yet
to
be
built,
and
you
know,
and
that
that's
a
real
burden
on
him
to
to
figure
that
out.
So
I
would
I
encourage
you
to
please
tell
the
contractors
and
the
vendors
to
get
their
bills
in
within
30
days
and
if.
K
G
This
is
the
pension
contributions.
K
Okay,
so
it's
got
4.48
or
480
000
for
the
waste
management
department,
don't
they
contribute
that
480
000
to
the
town?
And
then
you
put
it
into
the
budget
into
the
pension?
That's.
B
H
What
this
shot
that
she's,
referring
to
from
the
from
the
from
the
budget,
actually
shows
all
the
components
of
the
total
recommended
contribution
by
the
actuary.
It
does
not
actually
illustrate
just
what
the
general
funds
portion
is.
This
is
all
sources.
H
H
Another
example
would
be
the
school
there's
a
school
amount
of
1.48
again
that
money
goes
directly
from
the
school
department,
it's
expensed
in
their
budget
and
goes
into
the
pension
fund
directly.
The
portion
that
is
in
the
general
fund
budget
is
the
first
two
line
items
the
6.73,
which
is
in
general
government
and
the
0.51,
that's
actually
within
the
departments
and
basis.
So
basically,
the
total
contribution
from
the
general
fund
in
the
budget
is
the
7
point,
I'm
sorry
the
6.73
and
the
0.51.
So
that's
all
that's
actually
in
in
the
town's
budget.
K
K
K
The
the
point
here,
gentlemen,
is
that
just
basically
medium
inc,
median
income
in
west
warwick
is
about
50
000
or
so
our
surrounding
compute
communities,
east
greenwich,
they're
about
80
percent,
higher
coventry
and
warwick
they're
about
20
higher.
The
point
I'm
making
here
is
that,
because
we're
we're
at
the
50
000
range
and
we're
a
lot
lower
than
these
other
towns,
we
have
to
be
very
careful
with
the
risk
we
take
because
this,
because
the
people
in
this
challenge
just
can't
afford
mismanagement,
we
can't
afford
risky
decisions,
not
like
the
other
towns.
K
A
D
F
D
A
F
L
E
H
I
just
want
to
add
one
note
to
that:
the
the
actual
op
trust
that
you
know
he
just
referred
to
when
has
been
mentioned
is
something
that's
administered
through
through
the
loc,
the
interlocutor,
island
to
local
trust
as
part
of
the
pool
documents.
It's
something
that
the
council
had
approved
before
mark
and
I
discussed
any
potential
transfers
from
that.
We
did
review
the
documents
as
far
as
making
them
available.
You
know
you.
A
A
H
I
want
to
say
just
rough:
I
can
provide
the
actual
number,
but
I
believe
it's
about
200
000,
that's
been
accumulated
from
the
employees
of
that
1.7
and
you
know
I'll
give
you
the
numbers
and
as
far
as
the
documents
you
know,
I
don't
see
any
reason
why
why
we
can't
provide
those
documents?
It's
not
something
that
was
requested,
that
they'd
be
posted
on
the
website,
or
else
I
would
have
as
I've
done
with
the
actuarial
reports
and
whatnot.
But
I
also
just
wanted
to
mention
one
other
thing.
H
A
H
G
If
you
deny
it,
you'll
run
a
deficit
I'll
have
to
notify
the
state
that
the
town
has
run
a
deficit
state
will
step
in
require
in
intermediate
action.
They'll
require
you
to
do
another
five
year
plan.
You'll
you'll
basically
have
the
same
scenario
you
had
three
or
four
years
ago
for
the
five-year
plan.
G
So
I
was
going
to,
I
was
going
to
mention
that
in
the
in
the
manager's
update
but
john
and
I
had
a
conference
call
with
the
auditor
general
and
the
department
of
finance
on
friday
to
discuss
our
plan.
G
Their
position
is
that
if
the
town
approves
this
ordinance
as
as
presented,
we
will
close
the
year
with
a
balanced
budget,
we
will
not
have
a
deficit.
There
will
be
no
further
action
required
by
the
town.
They
did
ask
us
to
provide
them
a
copy
of
the
executed
ordinance
and
we
agreed
also
to
have
monthly
update
meetings
with
them
moving
forward
on
the
fiscal
year
18
budget.
G
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
we're
trying
to
over
a
situation
where
the
town
actually
runs
a
real
deficit
and
the
state
is
notified
and
the
state
comes
in
to
intercede
with
the
town's
business.
Let
me.
D
D
D
G
D
H
H
I
got
told
at
that
meeting
and
it's
on
record
by
the
town
manager
that
there
was
a
million
dollar
surplus,
that
everything
was
great.
Okay.
Now
I'm
being
told
that,
just
in
the
rainy
day
fund,
there's
four
million
dollars
missing
I'd
like
to
know
which
nobody's
asked
yet
number
one:
where
did
the
four
million
dollars
go?
Number
two
who
moved
that
money
without
council
approval
and
number
three?
What's
going
to
happen
to
that
person.
A
First,
let
me
just
clarify:
one
million
dollars
was
moved
by
council
approval
out
of
that
4
million
got
13
resolutions
in
front
of
me
all
approved.
I
announced
it
earlier.
A
H
And
at
the
time
I
asked
I
asked
fred
and
the
council
to
cut
the
five-year
plan
in
half
if
we
were
in
that
good
shape,
and
I
was
told
that
it
couldn't
be
done
now
from
what
I
understand.
I
run
a
business
also-
and
you
know
that
you
know
it's
simple
mathematics
we're
coming
to
the
end
of
the
five-year
plan,
and
I
know
what
you're
going
to
do.
You're
going
to
tell
me.
You
need
another
five-year
plan
because
of
what
happened.
H
Okay,
so
now
take
that
million
dollar
surplus
and
add
that
to
the
four
million
and
I'm
going
to
tell
you
something
right
now,
I
don't
care
if
it's
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
was
moved
out
of
that
out
of
the
rainy
day
fund.
Somebody
moved
that
money
without
town
council
approval
that
money's
gone.
I
want
to
know
where
it
is.
I
want
to
know
what
it
was
used
on
and
I
want
to
know
what's
going
to
happen
for
that
person
or
those
persons
who
move
that
money
without
council
approval.
G
D
G
If
we're
talking
fiscal
year
16-
and
I
think
that's
what
that
gentleman
was
talking
about
it
would
be.
Last
year
there
was
a
deficit
of
a
million
dollars,
so
at
the
end
of
the
year
when
the
auditors
come
in
and
they're
reckons
again,
there
was
a
statement
earlier
that
a
budget
is
an
estimate,
and
that
is
absolutely
a
correct
statement.
It's
an
estimate,
it's
a
good
faith
estimate
and
that
the
budget
has
to
be
managed
throughout
the
year.
G
G
Basically,
at
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year
when
the
auditors
came
in,
they
found
that
the
revenues
were
under
estimated
and
the
expenses
were
overestimated
right.
So
so
so
we
overspent,
and
we
didn't
realize
the
revenue
that
that
we
thought
we
were
going
to
realize.
G
G
G
So
if
you,
if
you're,
not
tracking,
that
in
real
time
or
you're,
not
doing
estimates
in
real
time
to
see
where
you
are,
when
the
auditor
comes
in,
it's
either
discovered
that
you
have
a
surplus
or
a
deficit.
If
it's
covered
discovered,
you
have
a
deficit.
Those
bills
have
already
been
paid.
That
money
has
come
out
of
that
account
right.
So
what
is
on
paper
is
reduced
by
that
amount,
regardless
because
the
bills
have
already
been
paid.
G
Transfers
are
done
routinely
as
transfers
to
pay
bills.
So
if
you're
over
expending
a
line
item
that
could
be
problematic
in
that
you
know,
the
finance
department
won't
authorize
that,
but
if
you're,
if
you're
within
your
expense
side
of
the
budget,
but
your
revenues
haven't
come
in
as
expected,
you're
paying
bills
based
on
your
expense
and
then
lo
and
behold,
you
find
your
revenues
didn't
come
in
as
expected
and
you've
got
to
you.
You've
got
a
deficit.
A
A
Numerous
conversations
with
mark
and
john
over
the
last
few
weeks,
you
know
our
collection
rate
is
somewhere
around
95.8
somewhere
around
there.
So
this
is
for
four
percent
of
people
who
haven't
paid
their
taxes
and,
unfortunately
you
know
I've
looked
at
different
scenarios.
How
do
we
get
that
four
percent
back
as
fast
as
possible,
because
people
do
wait
to
pay
for
it?
A
You
know
I've
talked
about
amnesty
month
where
we'll
give
you
one
month,
if
you
can
come
in
and
pay
your
taxes
up
to
date,
we'll
waive
interest
or
whatever
these
are
the
ideas
that
I've
thrown
out.
I
think
I've
talked
to
jay
about
them.
Also,
the
payment
plans,
I
mean
personally,
I
think
they
gotta
stop,
because
I
look
at
a
list
of
payment
plans,
there's
individuals
with
five
six
seven
pieces
of
property
on
a
payment
plan.
D
A
Know
you're
talking
about
the
interest
angel,
but
when
you're
sitting
here
with
four
million
dollars,
five
million
dollars
that
hasn't
been
paid
yet
and
you
and
you
know
you
brought
up
a
comment.
You
said
a
comment
to
me
about
the
delinquents.
Well,
it's
only
200
000,
but
that's
compounding
almost
every
time.
So
if
you've
got
a
shortfall
in
somebody
not
paying
their
taxes,
you're
compounding
you're.
D
A
A
K
Mr
president,
I
I'm
sorry
angelo,
but
I
don't
think
you
guys
have
any
other
choice
but
to
pass
the
this
resolution.
As
that's.
K
K
K
Yeah
and
then
we
may
end
up
having
to
you,
know,
get
a
little
more
taxes
too
to
know.
K
It
well,
I
don't
know,
then
you're
gonna
be
cutting
personnel,
because
that's
the
only
place
you're
gonna
you're
gonna
be
able
to
get
enough
money
out
of
the
budget
to
do
it.
So
I
don't
know
if
anybody
really
wants
that
to
happen
either
certainly
need.
We
certainly
need
the
personnel
that
we've
got
in
the
town
at
the
moment.
So
anyway,
the
you're
you're
gonna
be
facing
this
again
and
you're
gonna
actually
gonna
be
facing
it
worse,
especially
if
you're
gonna
start
cutting
ope.
A
K
Just
joined
this
town,
so
that's
why
you
haven't
seen
me
before,
but
you're
going
to
see
me
a
lot
now.
Thank
you
so
much
you
know,
and,
and
so
so
you
know
it
is
time
to
really
take
some
serious
action,
though
we
really
can't
even
wait.
He
did
the
right
thing
by
by
stopping
all
unnecessary
expenditures
and
anything
that
was
over
the
budget,
although
you're
already
over
budgeting
some
line
items,
but
he
did
the
right
thing
there,
but
you're
gonna
actually
have
to
do
a
little
more.
I
think
you
bring
up.
K
L
M
H
D
G
And
again,
you
need
to
make
adjustments
in
your
budget.
You
have
to
have
a
more
realistic
collection
rate,
so
the
collection
rate
has
to
go
down.
There's
something
in
the
budget
called
prior
year,
collectibles,
which
I
think
is
budgeted
this
year
at
about
2.4,
probably
comes
in
about
1.8
or
2
million
dollars
that
needs
to
be
reduced.
So
you
already
know
looking
at
the
budget
that
your
revenues
are
not
going
to
come
in
as
they
have
been
as
they
have
been.
You
know
in
the
budget
presented
in
the
budget,
so
they
have
to
be
cuts.
G
B
M
G
A
I
just
want
to
clarify.
I
want
to
answer
something.
Paul
said
earlier,
having
numerous
conversations
with
ernie
and
I
know
mark
has
had
the
conversations
he's
asked
that
all
personnel
stay
where
they
are
until
he
come
in
and
assess
the
town,
and
I
I
told
him
I
would
grant
that
wish
so
to
answer
paul's
question
nothing
as
of
now.
A
Okay
ernie
will
come
in
here,
he's
very
financial
oriented
just
having
hour
here
an
hour
there
with
him.
I
I
think
he's
going
to
bring
a
lot
of
knowledge
and
a
lot
of
budget
items
and
he's
very
he's
been
meeting
with
mark
on
a
weekly
basis.
A
M
M
As
as
a
town
councilman,
we
we
trust,
we
trust
the
department
if
this
hold
on
I'm
speaking
right
now,
if
there's
a
road
that
needs
to
be
fixed,
and
I
ask
dave
lombardi
what
needs
to
be
fixed,
okay
and
he
says:
well,
you
need
to
do
this
and
drill
this
hole.
I
don't
know
anything
about
road,
so
I'm
going
to
trust
mr
lombardi
and
if
it
doesn't
get
fixed
right,
then
then
us
as
councilman
have
to
hold
people
responsible
for
not
giving
us
the
right
information.
N
N
N
N
G
G
One
of
the
requirements
of
the
plan,
however,
is
that
there
will
be
an
opeb
funding
and
that
the
full
arc
annual
required
contribution
for
the
pension
be
met
right,
so
those
are
requirements
in
there.
There
also
contained
concessions
that
were
negotiated
with
the
police,
fire
municipal,
school
unions
and
then
there's
a
variance.
G
G
So,
as
you
read
the
plan,
if
you
see
a
variance,
if
you
see
it
being
presented
as
a
deficit,
it's
really
the
responsibility
of
you
know
the
town
manager
to
address
the
variance
and
you
either
adjust
that
variance
as
recommending
to
the
council.
If
they
raise
taxes
higher
or
they
cut
expenditures
or
they
meet
somewhere
in
the
middle
okay,
it's
not
something
that's
carved
in
stone,
it's
a
living
document
and
it's
intended
to
be
a
dynamic
document
that
you
follow
and
you
make
adjustments
along
the
way.
G
G
So
that's
to
answer
your
five-year
plan
question
with
regard
to
any
budget
that
was
presented
to
the
council
approved.
None
of
those
budgets
are
exactly
in
compliance
with
the
five-year
plan
as
far
as
this
year's
budget,
if
you
look
at
this
year's
budget
in
particularly
on
the
revenue
side-
and
I
think
there
was
a
statement
earlier
that
when
you're
when
you're
putting
budgets
together,
you
know
past
history-
isn't
it
is
an
exact,
but
it
gives
you
an
indication
absolutely.
N
G
The
future,
so
if
a
collection
rate
is
coming
in
at
96.5,
you,
wouldn't
it
wouldn't
be
prudent
to
budget
a
collection
rate
in
excess
of
that.
You
know,
councilman
mentioned
that
in
warwick
they
budgeted
the
99
collection
rate.
That's
absurd!
That's
not
going
to
happen
as
well
as
prior
year
collectibles.
If
you
know
the
prior
year,
collectibles
are
coming
in
averaging
lower,
then
you
have
to
lower
that
what
that
means
is
you'd
have
to
cut
expenses
proportionately
or
you'd
have
to
raise
taxes
proportionately
correct.
G
So
when,
when
I
looked
at
the
budget-
and
it's
simply
me
looking
at
a
budget,
it's
not
my
budget's,
not
my
tool.
My
questions
are:
what's
the
collection
rate,
what's
been
the
historical
collection
rate,
what
are
previous
year's
collections?
What's
that
spent?
What
how
are
your
expenditures
running
when
you
put
those
two
when
you
put
those
two
items
together,
you
see
that
there's
there
there's
a
a
a
a
deviation
in
the
budget
where,
as
the
revenues.
G
Overestimated
the
expenses
might
be
right
on,
they
might
be,
they
might
be.
You
know
they
might
be
underestimated
in
certain
categories.
I
mean
we
already
heard
about
fire
over
time
I
mean
fire
over
time
is
notorious
in
every
community
for
coming
in
over
budget.
So
that's
something
that
was
under
budget.
I
won't
you
know.
I
don't
want
to
bore
you
with
the
details
of
each
and
every
line
item
that
I've
looked
at,
but
there
certainly
is
a
deviation
in
the
budget
that
was
approved.
G
N
G
Reconstruct
the
budget
so
you've
got
a
budget,
so
go
reconstruct
it.
You
look
at
what
would
be
a
more
reasonable
collection
rate
prior
year
collectibles
and
then
determine
what
revenue
you
have
available.
Look
at
your
expenditures.
If
there's
a
variance
there
now
we've
got
to
we've
got
to
bring
that
into
balance,
so
it
probably
means
cutting
expenditure.
Some
we've
already
started.
G
So
basically,
what
has
to
happen
in
my
opinion-
and
this
is
strictly
my
opinion,
but
whatever
changes
we
make
to
the
budget
now
administrative
wise,
you
know
you,
the
town
manager,
can
direct
department
heads
not
to
spend,
which
we've
already
done.
We've
already
issued
that,
but
if
there
are
other
expenses
that
the
council
has
approved
capital
expenses,
for
example,
or
other
expenses
that
are
beyond
a
manager
to
a
department
head,
something
needs
to
come
back
to
the
council
to
basically
tell
them
hey,
we
can't
put
a
new
roof
on
this
building
this
year.
N
N
Now
I
hate
to
even
push
this
even
further,
but
when
it
comes
to
certain
things,
the
policies
that
I've
been
inquiring
about
like
when
you
ask
for
public
information-
and
it
has
to
be
submitted
to
our
solicitor
before
anybody
can
do
anything
with
it.
It's
an
insult
to
department
heads
that
should
be
fully
qualified
to
say.
Oh
okay,
this
information
can
be
released.
This
can't.
Why
are
we
adding
extra
expenses
every
which
way
we
can
and
who
is
watching
any
of
this
I'll.
D
D
C
A
A
N
Where
does
this
make
any
sense?
Where
are
we
throwing
money
left
and
right?
I
don't
care
if
it's
ten
dollars
to
look
at
an
email
or
something
else.
You
know
we're
in
a
position
where
we
have
to
stop
spending
everything
I
mean
we
don't
have
it
we're
draining
funds
that
if
I
worked
for
one
of
those
unions,
my
god,
I
would
be
crazy
right
now.
N
D
Know
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna
answer
your
question
for
you,
my
feelings.
I
think
we
were
you
were
misled.
I
wasn't
misled
and
my
hat
goes
off
to
that
councilman
right
there
lichardi,
because
when
he
was
asking
me
questions,
why
are
you
against
the
five-year
plan?
Why
do
you
vote
against
the
budgets
right?
I
said
I'm
going
to
give
you
my
feelings
and
what
I
figured
out.
D
D
Took
the
time
if
they
would
have
told
you
that
we're
running
a
1.7
million
dollar
deficit
the
first
year
1.4
a
second
1.2,
you
wouldn't
vote
for
that
budget.
Would
you
no
but
evidence
fine,
we're
doing
fine?
We
have
surpluses,
as
mr
petrozzi
said,
they
misled
the
employees
and
they
misled
the
taxpayers.
N
Talking
about
faith
in
people
that
are
going
to
work
for
us,
because
this
isn't
working
and
if
this
isn't
enough
people
that
showed
up
here
tonight
to
show
that
people
are
getting
tired
of
it.
Then
maybe
the
next
meeting
will
be
bigger
and
they'll
get
bigger
and
they'll
get
bigger
until
people
have
had
enough.
D
J
M
A
N
A
Is
over
expenditures
that
should
have
been
brought
to
the
council?
I
agree
with
councilman
padula
100
that
that
should
have
been
brought
if,
if
a
department
spent
overspent
300
000
now
this
was
the
first
year
in
since
2012
2013,
because
there's
an
action
plan
in
2013
of
an
over
expenditure,
2014's
budget
was
written
by
mike
stamford,
2015
and
16
were
by
fred
presley.
Now
the
shortfall
in
2014,
mr
stanford
presented
a
budget
that
was
approved
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
five-year
plan,
nothing
he.
G
M
A
A
I
wouldn't
say
that,
but
I'm
asking
what
I'm
going
to
ask
the
town
manager
in
the
finance
director
is:
I
want
the
over
expenditures
for
each
year
and
why
we
were
over
800
thousand
dollars
one
year,
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
another
year.
So
that
way
there
when
somebody
says
to
me,
why
were
you
over
your
budget
by
two
in
2014?
G
Can
I
respond
to
him
because
he
that
that
is
an
inappropriate
statement?
Basically,
I
think
I
explained
it
earlier.
Bills
were
paid
bills.
G
G
Revenues
were
not
there
that
were
expected
to
be
there
to
pay
the
bill,
so
the
only
where
the
only
place
that
money
could
come
from
was
out
of
the
town's
checking
account,
but
who
said
to
take
it
from
the
rainy
day
fund,
it
doesn't
come
out
of
that.
You
you're,
not
understanding
the
rainy
day
fund
is
simply
a
number
on
paper.
The
money
is
in
the
bank
in
a
checking
account
when
you,
when
you
budget,
you
expect
to
have,
for
example,.
E
G
Million
dollars
coming
in
one
million
dollars
coming
out,
there
could
be
a
million
dollars
in
the
bank
if
you've
got
a
million
dollars
in
the
bank
and
you've
got
800
000
coming
in
and
you've
got
1.2
million
dollars
coming
out,
you're
going
to
take
1.2
million
dollars
in
the
bank
and
that
800
000
just
went
down
to
600
000..
That's
what
happened
but.
M
G
I
Once
again,
alan
palazzo
five
robin
lane
a
couple
of
points
of
order.
I
don't
think
there's
anybody
who
has
submitted
more
access
to
public
records
requests
either
to
this
town.
Other
towns,
the
attorney
general
everybody.
There
are
23
exceptions
to
for
denial
in
the
past.
When
I
was
actively
pursuing
things,
I
would
submit
a
request
either
directly
to
malcolm
or
to
the
town
manager.
I
would
usually
have-
and
I
always
you
know,
had
a
caveat.
I
You've
got
10
days,
10
business
days
to
respond
to
me,
the
first
hour's,
free
and
malcolm
would
be
able
to
call
up
something
within
15
minutes.
I
go
down
and
sit
with
them
and
I
have
an
answer:
no
problems
there,
where
this
policy
came
from
of
everything
going
through
the
solicitor.
I
don't
know
I
have
to
ask-
is
that
in
writing
anywhere
because
I
used
to
have
an
xo
used
to
say
show
it
to
me
in
writing.
Hold
on
mr
williamson.
I
have
the
floor.
I
The
second
item-
I
just
dropped,
track
with
regard
to
not
the
budget.
It
was
yeah.
I
totally
dropped
track.
Now.
Can
I
speak
now?
I
don't
know.
Are
you
running
the
meeting
we
have
this?
We
have
the
president
here.
Maybe.
L
L
Since
I've
been
the
town
solicitor
going
back
to
2001,
I
have
in
my
hands
since
2001
every
ass
ass.
Excuse
me:
apra
requests
for
information,
not
only
from
mr
palazzo
but
from
everybody,
that's
asked
for
it.
You
know
why
it's
a
legal
document,
it's
a
law
that
requires
legal
interpretation.
You
just
said:
there's
23
exceptions,
correct.
L
L
I
I
And
I
repeat
it
one
more
time:
why
do
we
need
to
send
request
to
the
solicitor
23
exceptions,
I'm
sure
mark
the
town
clerk
or
anybody
else
in
this
town
should
be
able
to
read
in
plain
english
and
provide
that,
and
I'm
surprised
that
the
solicitor
did
not
inform
you
at
this
claims
committee
meeting
that
any
committee
or
subcommittee
of
any
the
state
or
a
municipality
is
required
to
maintain
minutes.
F
F
M
What
they
call
hopping
from
the
fire
into
the
frying
pan?
Oh
vice
versa,
yeah
hello,
mr
carullo,
can
you
update
the
residence?
Well,
we
just.
We
spoke
a
little
bit
about
it
today.
G
G
That
portion
of
the
project
is
simply
phase
one
portion
of
the
project
and
will
not
provide
relief
to
the
downhill
residents
who
are
concerned
about
the
project.
There's
a
second
half
of
that
project,
phase
two,
which
would
range
in
cost
between
350
and
650
000.
That
has
not
been
designed
yet
based
on
those
conversations
and
based
on
my
presumed
need
for
these
individuals
who
desire
for
those
people
downhill
to.
G
Be
provided
some
sort
of
relief,
we
agreed
to
contact
the
engineer
and
look
at
options,
a
short-term
option,
long-term
option
and
one
of
the
options
that
was
presented
to
the
town
was
replacement
of
an
existing,
undersized
pipe
or
a
pipe
that
may
have
been
actually
in
fact
damaged.
We
did
have
that
conversation
with
the
town
engineer.
That
is
not
an
option
that
would
resolve
the
drainage
and
flooding
problem
in
the
area.
G
So,
as
a
follow-up
to
that,
I
asked
the
engineers
based
on
the
funds
that
we
have
available,
and
I
want
to
touch
on
that
in
a
minute,
but
based
on
the
funds
that
we
had
available,
I
asked
them
to
go
back.
Take
another
look
at
the
area
in
the
drainage
plan
and
to
come
up
with
an
an
alternate
plan
that
would
provide
the
most
relief
for
the
for
the
current
budget.
Now
I
know,
there's
been
some
statements
in
general
with
regard
to
numbers
anywhere
between
1
and
1.2
million.
That
was
available
for
the
drainage
project.
G
G
The
engineers
did
come
up
with
an
alternate
design,
which
is
a
kind
of
a
hybrid
between
the
green
infrastructure
and
some
new
piping
heading
down
into
the
into
the
area
that's
experiencing
the
flooding.
They
are
recommending
that
that
now
be
the
preferred
plan.
The
cost
of
that
plan
is
between
650
and
700
thousand
dollars.
G
So
we've
actually
asked
the
engineering
firm
as
well
as
the
department
of
public
works,
to
start
to
do
in
some
investigatory
work
there.
I
think
the
dpw
has
contacted
digsafe.
So
if
you
go
out
in
that
area,
you'll
see
some
markings
on
the
street
they're
looking
at
their
records
with
regard
to
existing
utilities,
fossen
o'neill,
the
town's
engineer,
is
doing
the
same
and
they're
coming
up
with
an
alternate
design
in
construction
plan.
G
Once
that
that
plan
is
firm,
I
think
that
we
would
need
to
readdress
it
and
come
back
to
come
back
to
the
council
for
a
proposed
revised
plan
and
authorization
for
spending.
G
We
would
then
go
out
to
bid
for
that
construction
and
and
initiate
that
phase
one
of
the
plan,
which
would
provide
them
with
more
relief
than
the
initial
plan
at
a
million
dollars.
They'd
probably
get
a
little
bit
more
relief
for
the
750
000
plan.
To
be
quite
honest
with
you,
that's
where
that
is
existing,
I
don't
know
if
you
have
any
questions.
G
Yeah,
so
the
green
infrastructure
proposal
on
shippy
avenue
was
basically
to
install
underground
cisterns
I'll
call
them.
You
know,
holding
tanks.
So
you
know
when
an
initial
storm
came
that
it
would,
it
would
reduce
the
volume
of
runoff
coming
down
the
hill
by
an
amount
equal
to
the
volume
of
those
those
those
holding
tanks.
However,
at
a
point
when
those
tanks
are
full,
the
water
will
still
flow
down
the
hill.
So
I
I'm
just
going
to
put
this
in
in
in
in
basically
figures,
so
that
we'd
understand
them.
G
So
if
there
was,
if
there
was
a
foot
of
water
coming
down
the
hill
and
surging
across
the
property,
you
know
these
might
remove
three
or
four
inches
three
or
four
inches.
So
my
concern
was
that
the
town
spends
a
million
dollars
towards.
G
And
that
the
relief
is
actually
unrecognizable
by
the
residents
in
the
area
and
they
come
back
to
the
town
and
say
look:
they
spent
a
million
dollars.
I
still
got
a
foot
and
a
half
of
water
coming
through
my
yard,
so
so
the
concern
was
when
we
met
with
the
engineer
to
tell
them
that
we
really
want
to
invest
that
money
wisely
and
to
construct
a
project
for
the
the
amount
of
money
we
have.
That
would
provide
them
with
the
greatest
amount
of
relief.
Again,
it's
still
only
phase
one
of
the
project.
G
M
G
Yeah,
so
so
I've
instructed
the
the
engineering
firm
fusion
o'neill
to
design
the
plan
without
the
easement
recently
the
property
owner
that
has
the
easement.
He
was
in
my
office
the
other
day
and
he
told
me
he
was
willing
to
give
an
easement
to
the
town
whatever.
That
means
he
told
me
to
contact
his
attorneys,
which
I
did
immediately.
His
attorney
informed
me
that
he
was
not
yet
under
under
contract
that
he
hadn't
paid
him,
so
he's
going
to
wait
until
he
gets
a
retainer
before
he
reaches
out
to
me.
G
A
And
it's
going
by
what
mark
said.
I
had
a
brief
conversation
with
mr
gallucci
tonight
around
six
o'clock
here
in
town
hall
and,
as
mark
stated,
he
has
asked
fosten
o'neill
to
do
a
project
without
the
easement,
but
also
the
gentleman
also
who
owns
the
property
says
he
has
no
problem,
giving
us
the
easement
based
upon
the
agreements
from
2005.
A
This
has
been
going
on
since
2005
with
wolfgang
bauer,
so
you
know,
and
but
he
he
has
some
development
that
he's
doing
on
the
property
storage
garages
or
something
that
he
has
planned.
So
he,
if
he's
going
to
give
the
easement
he
wants
it
to
be
where
it's
not
going
to
interfere
with
his
future
development,
which
I
don't
believe
it's
his
property.
If
he's
got
future
development
going
on,
he
he
wants
to
make
sure
that
he's
covered.
A
In
that
aspect,
we're
trying
we'll
we'll
have
more
of
an
update
within
the
next
week
or
two
anyway.
M
Pika
trail
25
northeast
street,
so,
mr
gold,
you
had
a
conversation
with
mr
gallucci
prior
to
the
meeting.
Well,
he
was
at
my
house
yesterday
and
said:
absolutely
not.
He
will
not
give
this
town
easement
to
that
property.
Well,
he
was
supposed
to
be
here
tonight,
but
he's
not.
I've
already
spoke
to
I've
asked.
I
haven't
put
that
in
writing.
Okay
for
me
to
bring
to
you
yeah,
I
don't
need
you.
I
believe,
that's
why
I
believe.
That's
why
we
said
we're
going
to
go
through
with
a
plan
without
him,
because
if
he's.
A
M
A
M
A
A
A
G
Can
I
can
I
speak
so?
Mr
catrell,
I
myself
spoke
with
mr
gallucci
and
I
was
very
clear.
As
you
know,
I
can
be
absolutely,
and
I
told
him
there
would
absolutely
be
no
quid
pro
quo
that
the
two
items
are
are
separate
and
distinct
that
the
issues
with
his
rental
property
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
easement.
We're
not
going
to
combine
those
if
he's
willing
to
give
the
town
on
these
men,
I'm
willing
to
talk
to
his
attorneys
about
the
easement
time
is
of
the
essence.
G
I
already
informed
him
that
we're
moving
ahead
without
the
easement
he's
very
clear.
On
that
I
did.
I
called
his
attorney
on
friday.
I
spoke
with
his
attorney.
His
attorney
said:
I'm
not
going
to
talk
to
you
about
these
when
he
hasn't
paid
me
yet
so
I
gave
the
attorney
my
contact
number.
I
told
him
time
was
if
the
essence
contacted
me
immediately,
I'm
waiting
for
the
attorney
to
contact
me
if
he
doesn't
contact
me
if
we
don't
have
a
resolution
for
the
eastman
we've
already
started.
The
preliminary
work
on
designing
without
the
easement.
M
I
got
that
another
thing.
My
problem
doesn't
have
anything
to
do
with
this
greenway
stuff.
It
has
to
do
with
the
pipe
that
the
town
replaced
a
couple
a
couple
years
ago,
probably
five,
six
years
ago,
you
cannot
choke
the
water
in
the
front
in
the
back.
You
can't
why
is
it
hey,
fred
president?
He
said
there
was
what
a
huge
rainy
day
fund.
There
was
plenty
of
money
to
fix
today.
M
Here's
my
question
to
you:
you're
my
councilman,
correct
yep.
You
took
an
oath
to
serve
me,
yep,
correct!
I'm
gonna.
Ask
you
one
question
you're
willing
to
help
me
right
now:
well,
I'm
gonna!
Yes
or
no!
No,
I
I
I
I
don't
have
to
answer
just
yes
or
no.
I
think
I'm
allowed
to
give
an
extra
yes
or
no
question
mark
the
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
L
M
M
M
M
M
I'm
not
look
david,
I'm
gonna.
Ask
him
one
more
time.
Are
you
my
councilman?
Yes,
yes,
are
you
willing
to
help
me
I'm
trying
to
yes
within
24
hours?
Can
you
get
in
touch
with
dem
and
have
my
soil
tested
because
of
the
petroleum
and
the
contaminants
that
are
in
my
yard?
Hey
apologize,
you
know,
I
have
people
getting
sick,
the
best
of
us.
M
A
Pete,
oh
okay,
aside,
I
I
feel
for
you.
I
have
a
constituent
sitting
right
in
the
back
of
this
room
that
I've
personally
witnessed
sitting
here
in
eight
feet
of
water
up
to
his
neck,
trying
to
bail
himself
out
because
of
town
drainage.
I'm
trying
every
single
year
to
try
to
get
money
put
aside
for
him
and
you
know.
M
A
I
want
to
go
to
mr
izzy's
property
and
say
hey
how
you
doing
today.
I
would
avoid
him
as
far
as
I
possibly
could,
and
I've
gone
down
this
property
he's
always
been
cordial
even
during
the
toughest
times
his
days
I
pulled
up,
but
I
saw
him
with
his
son
sitting
there
with
bags.
I
I
felt
so
bad
for
the
guy.
A
M
M
M
G
F
M
M
M
A
M
A
M
F
G
M
M
M
A
F
My
name
is
roy
blair
from
64
shippy
avenue,
I'm
basically
right
at
ground
zero
of
this
flooding
issue.
Now
for
this
new
plan,
where
does
it
start
from
in
front
of
my
house?
It
starts
right
there
in
front
of
64
shippy
avenue
at
the
bottom
of
agnes,
coming
down
from
reed
coming
over
from
west.
I
catch
it
from
three
directions:
three
different
hills:
you
catch
it
from
the
reed
carpentry
side;
yes,
yeah,
my
entire
backyard,
every
every
heavy
rain.
I
can
give
you
a
video
you've,
probably
seen
it.
F
G
F
G
There
was
a
there
was
a
five
million
dollar
road
bond
million
dollars
per
award
for
street,
paving
of
that
five
million
dollars.
Councilman
councilman
giroux
and
now
councilman
messier
have
dedicated
a
half
a
million
dollars
towards
resolving
the
drainage
issue
in
that
area.
There's
no
1.5
million
dollar
bond.
I
don't
know
where
that
information
came.
G
F
F
J
F
A
Address
when
you
say
it
goes
down
after
four
and
a
half,
I've
seen
some
bases
and
I'm
just
again,
I'm
not
familiar
that
basin
actually
goes
into
a
drain
which
goes
into
a
deeper
basin.
Is
that
let's
go?
Is
that
happening.
M
F
F
F
F
F
K
G
G
K
Okay,
so
you
guys,
maybe
you
ought
to
buy
the
buy
them
out.
You
know
truthfully,
if
they're,
only
if
there's
always
going
to
be
drainage,
drainage
issues,
you
just
kind
of
toss,
some
money
where
it's
not
really
going
to
help
you
know,
did
the
second
question
I
have
is:
did
the
state
engineers
take
a
look
at
the
phase
one
project.
G
K
G
So
that's
the
project
that
we
directed
the
engineers
to
revise
right,
so
they
they're
reducing
the
size
of
that
project
and
then
incorporating
underground
piping
right,
which
will
move
the
water
from
point
a
to
point
b.
That
is
the
new.
Let's
call
the
new
phase,
one
let's
for
example,
so
that
has
not
been
reviewed
by
redundancy.
K
Okay,
so
that
hasn't
been
reviewed
and
the
the
council
understands
that
the
estimate
that
he
gave
for
phase
two
of
somewhere
around
750
thousand
dollars
is
a
total
wild
ass
guess
because
they've
got
no
design.
So
you
can't
estimate
without
a
design,
yeah.
G
K
K
Well,
it's
an
extreme
variance,
it's
a
big
variance,
but
it
could
be.
It
could
still
end
up
two
million
dollars
because
nobody's
looked
at
you
don't
have
a
design.
If
you
don't
have
a
design,
you
don't
have
a
good
estimate
bottom
line,
so
this
could
end
up
costing
quite
a
bit
more
than
you
ever
anticipated,
and
so
you
might
want
to
take
a
look
at
some
other
alternatives.
K
K
G
So
so
the
town
applied
for
two
2016
round
department,
environmental
recreation
grant
for
a
playground
at
factory
street.
G
The
grant
application
was
submitted
in
may
of
2016,
and
the
town
received.
The
award
in
september
of
2016.
is
a
80
20
grant,
which
means
the
state
will
pay
80.
The
town
pays
20
the
grant
was
written
for
a
total
cost
of
138
000
100
000,
coming
from
the
state
and
thirty
eight
thousand
dollars
coming
from
other
sources.
G
Those
sources
would
include
an
in-kind
match
of
labor
from
the
town
of
four
thousand
dollars
for
site
work.
It
would
also
include
a
donation
in
labor
from
a
local
construction
company
of
four
thousand
dollars,
also
for
site
work
and
installation.
G
The
local
contribution
in
total
cash
would
be
five
thousand
dollars,
and
there
was
a
contribution
of
about
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
from
thunder
mist
for
a
project
that
they
were
constructing
up
there
for
an
orchard
and
a
gazebo
or
yeah
whatever
they
ended
up
putting
up
there.
The
total
of
those
contributions
is
38
thousand
dollars,
so
the
town
would
have
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
coming
from
dem
and
we'd,
be
trying
to
match
that
with
in-kind
and
donated
money
as
much
as
possible,
which.
G
G
G
Then
the
town
submits
its
invoices
for
payment
of
the
project,
as
well
as
its
matching
fees
and
then
around
the
state
of
rhode
island
will
then
forward
a
check
to
the
town
for
100
000.
The
grant
is
good.
The
the
expiration
of
the
grant
is
2018,
so
it's
good
until
september
2018..
So
the
expectation
is
that,
sometime
over
the
winter,
someone
from
the
town
likely
me
who
will
be
writing
an
rfp
to
go
out
to
bid
for
design
purchase
of
equipment
and
construction
of
the
of
the
playground
it
needs.
G
So
if
so,
the
expectation
is
if
we
can
get
an
rfp
out
over
the
winter,
that
we
can
do
a
bid
award
in
the
spring
and
hopefully
have
construction
complete
by
the
end
of
the
of
the
grant
period.
Dem
has
had
a
practice
of
granting
extensions.
They
granted
multiple
year
extensions
to
the
fishing
pier.
My
preference
is
that
we
meet
the
deadlines
that
that
are
included
in
the
grant.
So
the
hope
is
that
we
can
get
the
rfp
out
and
and
get
the
project
under
construction
over
the
summer.
G
N
G
So
I
didn't
mention
that
and
that
so
I
missed
that
announcement.
So
when
I,
when
I,
when
I
wrote
the
grant,
the
intention
of
the
grant
was
for
it
to
be
self-sustaining.
However,
I
you
are
correct
in
that
the
councilman
at
the
time
did
dedicate
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
capital
funding.
G
G
Forty
seven
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
remaining
in
that
account
and
I
believe
twenty
five
hundred
dollars
was
expended
at
the
request
of
the
councilman
for
some
tree
removal
on
which.
G
G
D
F
G
My
goal
and
I'm
and
I
and
and
at
that
time
hopefully
I'll
only
be
the
planner,
but
my
goal
would
be
maybe.
N
Okay,
so
in
the
event
that
you
accomplish
this-
and
we
don't
have
to
touch
that
ward
3
money
is
ward.
3
councilman
prepared
to
use
that,
maybe
for
the
people
that
are
suffering
on
chippy
ave
and
put
that
money
in
with
whatever
money
is
going
from
the
town
to
maybe
get
these
people.
Some
type
of
relief.
M
A
Vendor
invoicing
not
gonna,
be
the
dead
horse,
all
night
plain
and
simple,
not
just
vendors,
but
all
clients,
and
whatever
it
may
be
from
the
town,
should
have
their
invoicing
in
no
later
than
60
days.
A
A
You
can
look
at
that
mark
and
I
have
also
talked
about
other
options
that
we'll
probably
bring
into
the
next
council
meeting
for
billing
and
how
to
how
to
build
whether
it's
retainers,
whether
whatever
it
may
be
we're
going
to
discuss
that
within
the
next
couple
weeks,
we'll
bring
that
back
to
you
the
next
console
meeting.
A
B
A
You
know
and
I'll
agree
to
that,
but
I
also
want
to
make
sure
it's
detailed
I've
seen
and
from
rit
people
exchange
serve
for
what
you
know.
D
A
Well
again-
and
I
think
some
of
that
would
have
to
do
with
the
tomato,
so
we
could
is
that
that
person
to
wait
till
october
10th,
I
mean
as
long
as
we
can
still
set
the
resolution
as
far
as
invoicing
goes
and
then,
if
we
need
to
change
it,
we
can
change
it.
E
We,
I
don't
think
so.
I
I
really,
I
think
I
think
the
five
of
us
need
to
get
together,
and
I
understand
that.
There's
things
you
can
and
can't
talk
about
in
a
private
meeting,
but
I
think
the
five
of
us
need
to
be
on
the
same
page,
no
matter
what
that
page
is,
and
we
have
to
come
together
with
some
sort
of
a
plan
prior
to
the
new
town
manager
coming
in.
E
Invoicing,
when
you
get
to
invoicing,
when
you
go
out
to
when
you
have
a
vendor,
there
should
be
a
contract
with
that
vendor.
I
would
think,
no
matter
what
what
vendor
it
is,
whether
it's
busing
for
the
summer
program
or
you're
dealing
with
a
a
magician
I
had
at
crompton
playground
he's
a
vendor.
There
was
a
contract
mark,
signed
the
contract,
you
know
and
it's
pretty
simple,
the
do's
and
don'ts.
This
is
what
he
expects
is
what
we
expect
mark
signed
it.
E
G
D
E
D
A
D
That
were
there
were
department
heads
no
vendors,
you
don't
need
vendor,
you
don't
need
approval
for
vendors.
You
don't
need
approval
for
reorganization.
You
don't
need
approval
for,
for
any
of
that
am
I
am.
I
correct.
G
G
D
E
A
E
A
E
K
Helene
anderson
give
all
the
current
vendors
and
and
contractors
60
days
to
get
all
of
up
caught
up
to
date
and
then
tell
them
after
you
know,
november
they're
going
to
have
to
give
you
their
bills
every
30
days.
A
A
A
Yeah,
that's!
He
did
bring
up
a
good
point.
We
do
have
contracts
with
some
of
our
vendors
rit
people.
They
could
have
dates
set
in
it
also
a
day
set
in
it.
So
we
might
want
to
just
review
that
real,
quick
and
make
sure
it's
within
spec
and
we
can
go
from
there
for
a
new
one
citizen
appreciation
day
event.
Mr
d'amico.
B
Okay,
so
if
you
recall
last
year
we
had
a
citizens
appreciation
day
in
october.
It
was
a
really
nice
event.
It
was
a
food
truck
event.
We
had
fireworks,
we
had
some
games,
it
was.
It
was
our
first
time
doing
this
and
I
think
everyone
had
a
really
nice
time.
We,
our
numbers,
were
a
little
low
because
at
the
time
we
had
planned
for
a
saturday
and
the
weather
wasn't
good,
so
we
ended
up
on
a
sunday.
B
We
were
competing
with
the
patriots
game
steelers,
so
it
was
good,
but-
and
this
is
a
council
event,
this
is
why
I'm
bringing
it
up
in
front
of
you.
It
was
expensive,
you
know
last
year
it
was,
you
know
the
board,
we
ran
it,
but
we
weren't
really
aware
of
the
numbers
when
I
took
over.
I
asked
for
the
numbers
and
they
were
pretty
high-
that
event
cost
about
nineteen
thousand
dollars
and
there
was
four
thousand
sponsorships.
We
don't
have
those
sponsorships
this
year.
We
have
a
thousand
in
the
sponsorship.
B
We've
lost
three,
but
I
can't
in
good
faith
in
the
committee.
I
don't
think
in
good
faith.
Can
you
know
ask
for
the
money,
especially
given
the
events
of
the
last
few
weeks
to
spend
in
a
four
hour
period?
I
mean
to
me
it's
ridiculous:
to
spend
fifteen
thousand
dollars
on
fireworks.
We've
all
seen
fireworks
before
right,
but
this
can
still
be
a
great
event,
because
what
we're
doing
is
we
are
going
to
bring
together
the
trunk
or
treat
event
which
lori
swanson
runs
we're
going
to
bring
the
food
trucks
back.
B
We
have
a
lot
of
games
and
activities
that
are
planned
for
this,
so
we
want
to
make
it
a
really
nice
event,
but
as
a
committee,
we
don't
want
to
make
the
decision
to
say
no
to
the
fireworks,
because
it's
a
council
event.
So
that's
why
I'm
bringing
it
before
you
there
was
money
taken
last
year.
I
think
it
was
from
the
recreation
fund.
B
I
can't
think
of
the
exact
line
item
yeah
so
again,
my
opinion,
unless
something
miraculous
happens
and
one
of
the
sponsors
that
we've
reached
out
to
or
one
of
the
businesses
that
we've
reached
out
to
sponsors
fireworks,
I
don't
think
the
town
should
put
the
bill
for
it.
Given
certain
circumstances.
Right
now,
but
that's
up
to
you
guys
how
much
of
the
fireworks
well.
B
B
B
A
Sponsor
from
last
year,
I
did
yeah
speaking
to
john,
and
that
was
centerville
bank
and
after
what
happened
here
a
month
ago,
that
was
a
big
influence
on
that.
So
when
we
sit
here
and
talk
about
certain
things
in
public
and
embarrass
certain
people
who
are
presidents
of
banks,
they
don't
want
to
do
anything
with
their
sponsors.
B
B
4Pm
to
9
p.m,
guys
the
other.
The
other
thing
that
you
have
to
consider
you
know
if
we
have
fireworks,
there's
a
fire
detail
involved
like
last
year
because
of
the
weather
delay.
We
had
to
go
through
the
night
with
the
you
know
the
fire
detail,
it
ended
up
costing
about
seventeen
hundred
dollars
for
fire
detail.
That's
a
lot
of
money.
M
One
other
thing
before
I
forget,
if,
if
we
do
have
fireworks,
keep
in
mind
that
the
dog
pound,
which
I
know
was
an
issue
brought
up
last
year,
right.
M
B
M
B
The
fireworks
to
happen
this
one,
the
other
thing
guys
that
we've
caught
is
the
the
stage
and
the
band,
because
we
felt
that
people
weren't
going
there
for
the
band
they
provided
music,
but
originally
we
thought
it
was
going
to
be
an
event
where
people
would
sit
in
the
stands
and
they'd
watch
the
band
and
that
didn't
didn't
really
occur
so
we're
going
to.
As
far
as
I
know,
95.
E
A
K
K
B
B
Is
and
again
I
wanted
to
bring
it
before
council.
I
don't
think
we
should
touch
any
money.
We
have
a
thousand
spot,
it's
a
little
bit
more
than
a
thousand
at
this
point,
but
we're
still
working
to
get
sponsorship
so
that
we
pay
for
this
event
without
touching
anything,
but.
B
K
F
K
K
F
F
H
There
is
I'm
not
saying
I
I
agree
with
some
of
what
elaine
just
said
on
most
of
it.
Actually,
we
are
cutting
non-essential
expenditures
as
much
of
a
greater
event
as
this
is
or
could
be.
There
is
15,
or
there
was
15
000
put
into
recreation.
To
answer
the
question
about
what
was
a
budgeted
item,
however,
that
15
could
be
used
for
something
else.
Quite
frankly,.
M
B
We're
gonna
need
a
fire,
detailed
police
detail,
but
I
think
we
can
cover
that.
M
E
E
Park
and
you
have
possibly
a
babe
ruth
game
going
on
or
an
aau
baseball
team
playing
you
go
further
down,
you
could
have
softball
going
on,
then
you
could
have
cal
ripken
and
you
could
have
kids
playing
basketball
people
playing
tennis,
so
the
park
is
used
by
a
lot
of
people
at
any
given
time.
So
if
you
need
a
police
detail
for
this
event,
then
why
won't
you
need
it
for
every
single
day
it
does.
It
doesn't
make
sense.
Yeah.
C
F
E
B
A
All
right
do
not
do
not
knock
registry.
The
reason
why
I
put
this
on
jay,
one
of
your
constituents,
carrie
st
jakes,
send
me
an
email
asking
me
about.
If
the
town
had
a
do
not
knock
registry
at
the
police
department
or
anywhere
in
the
town,
do
we.
D
A
Would
get
a
list
of
do
not
knock
registry,
so
some
towns
have
it
where
so,
let's
say
so,
solar
city
wants
to
knock
door
to
door
to
sell
your
soul.
They
would
have
to
get
a
permit.
We
already
passed
that
I
don't
know
if,
but
I
don't.
A
A
It
doesn't
even
look
like
a
no
soliciting
sign,
but
it's
only
at
his
doorstep,
but
it
looks
decorative
and
he
put
no
solicitor
he's
never
had
anybody
knock
on
his
door,
but
his
neighbor
does
so
that
was
my
suggestion
to
the
individual,
but
they
just
asked
me
if
there
was
a
do
not
knock
registry.
I
said
I'll
have
to
check
into
it
like
that.
