A
Meeting
call
to
order
today
is
tuesday
april
2nd
town
council
meeting
first
fiscal
year,
20
public
hearing,
1170
main
street.
That's
forward
rhode,
island.
B
C
Just
by
way,
you
know
background
on
you
know
the
march
18th
the
proposed
budget
was
submitted
to
the
council,
100
million
931
thousand
28
dollars
of
that
58.6
million
dollars
is
to
support
the
school
system.
43
42.3
million
was
to
support
municipal
operations.
It's
about
a
4
million
dollar
increase
to
the
budget.
4.4
percent
of
that
about
1.9
million
is
for
the
school
department
which
has
been
offset
by
state
aid,
so
the
school
department
has
requested
another
year
of
level
funding
for
local
appropriation.
C
In
order
to
support
these
plans,
a
3.99
percent
increase
in
the
property
tax
levy
will
be
necessary
at
this
time,
it's
impossible
to
say
what
the
actual
tax
rates
will
be.
I
know
there's
always
a
concern
when
you
go
through
a
revaluation
and
when
you're
in
a
market
that
appreciates
you
get
your
values
and
you
say:
wow
is
this
values
up?
C
You
know
with
that
and
as
it
is,
it
will
be
submitted
to
to
the
council
said
we
had
two
public
here,
two
budget
reviews
with
the
department
heads
on
the
18th
march
18th
and
march
26th,
as
was
in
it.
As
was
indicated,
this
is
the
first
of
two
public
hearings
and
hopefully
the
public
will
come
and
ask
a
question
or
express
their
views
on
the
budget,
and
you
know
this
is
the
appropriate
time.
A
I'm
going
to
start
with
the
council
has
had
its
chance
to
speak
and
I'm
sure
you
all
have
your
ideas
written
down,
but
I'm
going
to
start
off
with
the
public
and
let
them
come
up
and
speak
first
and
maybe
we're
on
the
same
page.
Maybe
we're
not,
but
we
can
listen
to
what
they
have
to
say.
Does
anybody
from
the
public
have
any
comment
on
the
budget.
D
I
think
you
got
to
turn
that
on
andrew
voss,
35
redbond,
claw
cranston,
I
am
the
owner
of
three
rental
properties
in
natick.
D
So
that's
why
I'm
here,
even
though
I'm
I
live
in
cranston
right
over
the
line
off
of
enfield,
to
answer
your
question,
mr
manager,
of
what
the
tax
rate
is
going
to
be,
I
can
tell
you
right
now:
it's
going
to
be
too
high,
no
matter
what,
because
of
the
revaluations,
I've
done
a
lot
of
math,
and
actually
I
got
one
quick
question
regarding
some
of
the
questions
on
the
actual
budget
by
department.
Are
we
do
I
address
that
now
or
are
you
going
to
go?
You.
D
Give
all
your
all
right,
I
know
you've
been
here
for
okay
yeah.
I
just
didn't
know
how
the
process
was
going
to
work.
Okay.
So,
anyway,
back
to
my
my
remarks
here,
I'm
a
hands-on
landlord.
I
keep
my
places
real
nice.
I
am
not
a
slumlord,
I
have
nice
tenants
and
they
cannot
afford
rent
increases.
D
D
I
I
I
invested
in
these
rental
properties
for
my
retirement,
I'm
a
contractor,
so
I
don't
have
you
know
any
kind
of
a
pension.
I
pay
my
own
stuff,
my
own
health
insurance,
my
own
everything
like
a
lot
of
people
do
so
my
investments
were
supposed
to
be
my
retirement,
my
kids
college
fund
and
just
like
no
one
else
wants
their
pension
touched.
I
don't
want
mine
touched
either.
D
D
I
forgot
what
it
was
last
week.
It
was
mentioned
about
a
change
in
the
tax
rate
that
that
that
still
skyrockets
my
property
taxes
on
my
buildings,
because
the
revaluations
went
up
so
high.
So
this
is
just
unsustainable.
I
already
sent
out
some
rent
increase
lettuce.
I've
already
got
people
telling
me
they're
gonna
have
to
look
for
another
place.
They
can't
afford
to
stay
there
anymore.
D
Last
week,
when
I
was
here,
the
gentleman
from
the
senior
services
thing
was
saying
that
he's
been
getting
a
lot
of
people
coming
in
that
are
getting
evictions
for
non-payment
or
rent.
This
is
why
we
can't
I
can't
hold
the
line.
I
can't
absorb
it
anymore,
so
it
gets
passed
on
to
the
tenants
who
in
turn
can't
pay
it.
Then
we
have
to
evict
them
and
then
the
landlords
are
always
labeled
the
bad
guys,
but
if
we
can't
pay
our
mortgages,
we
get
foreclosed
on.
D
So
I
mean
it's
a
vicious
cycle,
so
I
have
to
live
within
a
budget.
I
understand
the
town
has
a
budget,
but
the
departments
have
to
try,
and
you
know
you
guys,
every
they're
requesting
the
maximum
four
percent
increase
or
3.99
it
just
can't
happen.
We
just
don't,
have
it
not
just
me
and
all
the
taxpayers,
everybody,
we
just
don't
have
it,
and
I
don't
know
if
the
residential
rate
is
going
to
be
different
than
the
investment
rate,
but
it's
it's
unsustainable.
I
mean,
I'm
literally
gonna
have
to
start
selling
property.
D
I
just
can't
afford
it
anymore.
I'm
actually
still
paying
back
loans
from
the
2010
floods.
I
had
all
three
buildings:
12
feet
of
water
and
I'm
up
to
the
first
floor.
Countertops
I
had
a
heating
systems
electrical
systems,
everything
I'm
still
paying
back
loans
to
this
day.
D
I
understand
that's
nobody's
fault
here,
but
it's
just
that
there
are
other
things
into
play.
Just
besides.
You
know
taxes.
D
The
four
percent
increase
of
3.99
instead
of
shooting
for
the
moon.
Why
don't
we?
Why
don't?
Why
does
why?
Don't
you
go
for
the
least
amount
of
increase
instead
of
the
maximum
increase
like
why?
Why
does
why?
Are
you
gonna
shoot?
The
state
allows
four
percent.
Why
do
we
gotta
shoot
for
four
percent?
Why
don't
we
shoot
for
one
percent
or
a
level
fund
if
possible?
D
You
know
I
drive
two
trucks.
Both
of
them
are
2003,
because
I
can't
afford
a
2019
or
a
2015
truck
and
saddle
myself
with
that
kind
of
debt.
You
know
I
have
to.
We
have
to
live
within
our
means,
so
does
the
town,
the
town?
This
is
our
money.
D
Two
years
ago
I
had
one
of
the
building
fire
code
between
fire
code
and
fire
escapes
eighteen
thousand
dollars
for
fire
escapes
fifteen
thousand
dollars
on
two
different
buildings,
each
building,
fifteen
thousand
dollars
for
fire
code.
It
it's
insane.
D
D
One
of
the
buildings
well,
this
is
actually
not
an
accurate
number
because
I
based
it
on
the
current
tax
rate,
which
is
going
to
end
up
going
down.
But
if
it
was
to
say
at
the
current
tax
rate,
one
of
the
buildings
went
up:
31.5
percent,
the
other
one
46
percent
and
the
other
one
41.5
percent.
So
it's
based
on
the.
A
A
A
D
Was
it's
a
three
unit
and
that
one?
There
is
actually
not
one
that
I
have
a
huge
beef
with,
because
I
did
I'm
also
appealing
these
to
the
the
re,
the
the
nerve
ally.
I
already
had
my
sit
down
with
them
and
submitted
all
my
stuff.
This
one
here
is
actually
not
too
too
bad
compared
to
others
in
the
neighborhood.
That's
pretty
much
average,
my
other
ones,
the
four
units
are
out
of
control.
D
Mine
are
much
much
higher
than
all
the
others,
and
my
whole
thing
to
them
was
because
I
keep
my
place
nice,
I
get
penalized.
You
know
it's
great
to
have
a
nice
valuation,
but
not
when
it's
coming
out
of
my
pocket
all
the
time.
Just
because
I
am
a
hands-on
landlord
and
maintain
my
properties
and
cut
the
lawn
and
sweep
the
sidewalks
and
plow
and
really
and
make
my
places
look
presentable.
D
All
right
so
now
over
to
the
budget
by
the
department,
so
I
just
have
a
few
questions
regarding
some
of
the
some
other
things.
D
Town
plan
is
on
that
was
on
page
five,
the
just
a
couple
of
explanations
for
fiscal
2019.
The
budget
on
the
wages
was
three
thousand
was
paid
out
of
sixty
two
hundred
now.
Some
of
these
are
small
numbers.
It's
just.
I
just
wanna
clarify
why
the
big
discrepancies,
but
for
the
proposed
budget,
it's
fifty
five
thousand
four.
Seventy
one,
an
increase
in
forty
nine
thousand
dollars,
which
one
are
we
talking
about
tom
playing
a
page
five.
A
D
D
A
A
Yeah
so
community
development
person
who
was
elaine
mansour
her
salary
used
to
be
in
the
cdbg
fund.
Okay,.
D
A
D
A
D
The
other
one-
I
guess
it's
all
like
this-
may
be
kind
of
the
same
on
the
same
thing,
but
the
page
six
personnel
proposed
2020
by
the
department
was
zero
and
by
the
manager
it
was
22
000
this
year,
80
80
000
this
year,
22
last
year,
the
other
year
by
the
department.
It
was
zero
and
fifty
eight
thousand.
What
what
are
the
big
differences
there.
A
A
C
Yes,
the
again
the
current
position
is
a
part-time
position
and
the
recommendation
is
to
create
the
personnel
director's
position
as
a
full-time
position
and
then
a
twenty
two
thousand
dollar,
a
part-time
non-benefited
position
to
assist
in
that
function.
And
if
you
look
back
on
some
of
the
prior
years
in
17
and
18,
it
was
about
the
same
cost.
So
the
town
went
to
a
part-time
system
and
for
personnel
and
I'm
recommending
it
go
back
to
a
full-time
position
with
a
part-time
clerical
assistance.
C
A
Last
budget,
the
council
majority
of
the
council
was,
I
think
it
was
tweeted
two
voted
to
move,
that
position
down
to
part-time
and
over
the
past
year
we
gave
it
a
shot
and
what
we've
heard
from
our
department,
heads
and
our
town
manager
is
that
you
know
that
position
needs
to
be
at
least
full
time.
D
Okay,
all
right
and
like
I
get
like
I
said
again,
some
of
these
are
small
numbers,
but
I
mean
I
have
to
cram
my
budgets
too.
So
that's
why
I'm
asking,
even
though
some
of
these
are
small,
because
it
ends
up
adding
up
on
the
town
clerk
page,
eight.
D
Actually,
there's
just
basically
a
line
item.
I
have
a
question
about
and
it's
the
copy
machine
is,
it
says,
budgeted
ten
thousand
paid.
Thirty
nine
hundred
and
the
proposed
budget
again
is
ten
thousand.
Why
a
six
thousand
thirty
nine
dollar
difference
like
what?
What
is
what
is
ten
thousand
budgeted
for
for
a
copy
machine?
Is
that.
B
D
D
Okay-
and
I
understand
this
thing
only
went
through
like
the
end
of
february,
so
that's
why
some
of
these
numbers
aren't
shown
yet.
Okay,
all
right.
Let's
see
general
government
page
14.
D
D
One,
I
guess
just
trying
to
understand
why
such
a
large
increase,
1.2
million
dollar,
increase
10
of
the
budget.
What
does
all
that
account
like
what?
What
is
all
that?
Why
so
much
in
that
one
department.
E
E
We
did
go
up,
50
000,
on
severance
pay,
because
people
are
retiring,
left
and
right
and
with
contract
negotiations
we
could
have
more
retirements
and
we're
already
over
budget.
As
of
february
for
that
line
and
a
bump
a
bump
in
the
fun
balance
number
for
where
we
hope
to
cover
some
of
the
contractual
obligations
that
get
negotiated
and
then
the
rest
would
go
back
into
the
fund
balance.
D
E
D
D
B
You
don't
you
have
similar
on
all
departments.
You
see
similar
increases,
it's
just
the
bulk
of
it
falls
here
to
general
government.
Is
that
correct.
D
Okay,
the
next
one
is
page
20
fire,
and
I
got
a
few
questions
on
this
one.
I
know
you
guys
kind
of
covered
it
last
week
and
I
heard
some
of
it
don't
know
if
I
understood
it
all
but
like
why.
Why
is
overtime?
One
third
of
the
budget
I
mean
overtime,
is
31
percent
of
wages.
D
Then
question
is:
what
is
the
line
items
of
sick
and
vacation
buyback?
What
actually
is
that,
if
someone
could
give
me
a
definition
on
what
that
actually
is
for.
A
Is
they
have
minimum
manning
15
to
a
shift?
Anybody
on
vacation
anybody
on
sick
time?
Anybody
on
sick
leave
anybody
on
loa.
A
D
F
D
A
What
happened?
What
happened
last
council
meeting
chief
veron
came
up
to
the
council
here
and
proposed
a
grant
that
would
pay
for
salaries,
not
not
the
full
salary,
but
25
percent
would
be
the
town's
responsibility.
If
I
remember
correctly
yeah.
I.
A
He's
brought
that
before
the
council
so
we're
looking
into
it.
We
gave
him
the
okay
to
move
forward,
we're
waiting
to
see
if
we
get
the
grant.
If
we
do,
we
do
that
should
if,
for
the
next
three
years,
it
should
help
you
over
time.
Okay,
but.
D
I
know
you
had
mentioned
two
weeks
ago,
possibly
what
if
we
were
to
up
the
manning
to
like
two
people
in
that
way
there
someone.
D
A
D
A
D
All
right,
so
the
second
thing
is,
then:
what
what
actually
is
sick
and
vacation
buyback
kristen?
You
want
to.
E
D
All
right,
I'm
not
even
going
to
say
anything
then
there's
a
line
item
for
I
just
want
to
understand
what
it
actually
is
for.
I
know
the
chief
kind
of
explained
it
last
week,
but
I
didn't
quite
understand
what
what
is
major
needs,
because
it's
going
from
zero
to
ten
thousand.
D
A
B
We've
had
a
roof
issue
in
one
of
the
stations
have
a
generator
problem.
You've
got
different
problems
that
come
up
over
the.
D
A
No,
it
goes
into
the
general
fund.
Well,
let
me
explain
something
about
the
general
fund
we're
supposed
to
keep
by
by
law
or
by
the
charter.
I'm
sorry
we're
supposed
to
be
at
five
percent
of
the
budget
in
our
rainy
day
fund.
We.
A
If
we
happen
to
see
that
there's
an
overage
there,
we
could
use
it
for
other
things,
I'm
a
proponent
of
using
it
for
one
time
buys
like
a
major
buy
like
if
we're
gonna
fix
a
roof,
or
you
know
that
it's
gonna
take.
You
know
you
fix
the
roof
it's
30
years.
Why
should
we
raise
taxes
to
fix
a
roof?
Because
that's
given
us
to
us
every
year,
when
we
can
do
a
one-time
hit
off
a
major
need?
D
Okay,
another
line
item
on
the
fire
is
supplies
and
expenses.
It
was
budgeted
for
50.
As
of
the
date
of
this
proposed
thing
here,
the
february
it's
at
29.6
and
then
it's
proposed
now
for
55
000,
just
what
is
supplies
and
expenses.
A
Those
are
the
expenses
that
come
up.
You
know,
office
expenses,
we've
also
paid
software
bills,
and
you
know
all.
B
D
E
A
B
A
How
many,
how
many
men
and
women
do
you
have
in
your
department
chief?
There
are
72.
D
And
I'm
pretty
sure,
I'm
pretty
sure
I
know
what
it
is,
but
I
just
want
to
confirm
it.
Longevity
is,
after
a
certain
amount
of
years
you
get
a
bonus
or
how
does.
A
B
D
A
D
Okay,
all
right,
so
that
was
everything
on
fire
dpw
page
21.
D
It's
you
know
going
up
a
bit
just
wondering
I
I
know
the
year
fiscal
year
isn't
over
again,
but
there's
still
as
of
the
date
of
this,
there
is
a
correct
29,
budgeted,
984
000
up
to
date,
600
000,
so
it's
384
still
unused.
Is
that
money
going
to
be
used
this
year?
Does
anybody.
D
A
Well,
I
can't
speak
again:
it's
you're
at
a
half
a
year
and
you're
at
six
hundred
thousand,
so
nine.
Eighty
four,
I
imagine,
okay,
we're
gonna
use
that
up
in
the
next
three
months
and.
D
A
No,
for
instance,
if
higher
class
pay,
it
depends
on
which
department
you're
in
so
let's
just
say,
the
finance
department.
If
the
finance
director
is
out,
the
deputy
director
gets
higher
class
pay
to
cover
their
position,
while
they're
out
same
thing
with
the
clerk's
office.
If
the
clerk
is
out,
deputy
court
gets
a
higher
class
pay.
Okay,.
D
All
right
and
then
sick
bonus
is
the
same
as
probably
in
five.
You
know
the
other
line
items
it's
just
okay,
then
the
other.
The
one
of
the
bigger
things
I
had
with
dbw
was
the
capital
improvements
request
of
almost
six
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Last
week,
the
gentleman
that
was
talking
about
some
lawn
mowers
and
stuff-
I
I
and
possibly
a
truck.
I
I
don't
know
if
I
got
all
that
information
right.
If
we
just
clarify
that
yeah.
D
It's
that's
on,
let's
see
page
31.
D
D
A
When
national
grid
owned
it,
it
was
over
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
the
council
a
few
years
back
went
with
prism,
which
was
all
led
lighting,
and
that
was
their
contract,
155
or
whatever.
It
was
all
right.
D
D
On
the
building
official
page
24,
just
just
a
question-
is
there
other
properties
that
they
are
maintaining
paying
all
these?
Why
are
there
so
many
like
oil
that
says
twenty
thousand
dollars
and
that's.
D
D
A
D
Okay
yeah,
I
just
didn't
understand
what
all
that
was
like.
That's
why
I
thought.
Maybe
they
had
a
separate
building
somewhere,
we
didn't
we
weren't
seen.
Then
I
got
a
question
regarding
one
of
the
departments:
page
27,
the
housing
board.
I
know
I
think
you
guys
mentioned
that
it
hasn't
met
in
quite
a
while,
because
there's
no
not
enough
people
on
it
or
something.
But
what
is
the
actual
purpose
of
that
board?.
A
So
they
need
to
discuss
what
goes
on
at
kai
towers,
robert
street.
Okay.
They
represent
the
tenants,
so
their
council
appointed-
and
there
is
one
active
person
right
now-
is.
A
A
All
the
rest
have
resigned
and
nobody's
put
their
name
back
in,
for
it
he's
actively
soliciting
tenants
on
both
buildings,
but
there
seems
to
be
no
interest
at
this
point.
Okay
and.
D
B
A
D
D
For
parks,
department,
29,
page
29,
what
actually
is
parked
is
that
part
of
isn't
that
part
of
public
works
or
is
that
a
whole
separate
parks.
A
And
rec
is
separate
from
majority
of
the
year
there's
three
people,
two
people
come
over
from
dpw
during
the
spring
summer,
four
months
and
one
person
stays
all
year
round.
Okay,.
A
Because
of
the
only
three
people
there,
okay,
you
take
a
look
at
your
surrounding
communities
and
we're
going
to
probably
talk
about
some
of
that
later.
On.
Take
a
look
at
your
surrounding
communities.
Warwick
has
at
coventry
is
close
to
a
million,
almost
a
million
dollars
a
year
in
their
parks
and
rec
department
warwick.
I
know
they
have
more
fields
but
they're,
almost
two
and
a
half
to
three
million
dollars
in
their
parks
and
rent
and
we're
at
354..
A
I
I
you
know
we
as
a
council
last
year
and
I
think
councilman
lichardi
was
very
vocal
on
hiring
some
more
part-timers
for
the
summer
months
to
get
the
bike
path.
You
know
our
number
one
complaint
is
the
bike
path.
The
looks
of
the
bike
path.
You
know
they
do
a
great
job
on
the
fields,
but
we
can't
maintain
certain
areas
of
the
town
with
only
three
people.
It
gets
a
little
hectic,
especially
during
the
busy
time
of
the
months.
You
know.
A
Baseball
starts
up
now,
you're
starting
up
now,
then
you've
got
soccer
starting
up,
you
know
and
then
everything
else
so
you've
got
to
maintain
those
fields.
So
our
children
can
play
on
them
safely
and
whatever
it
may
be,
so
we
are
working
on
different
things
to
reduce
costs
there
or
get
or
get
more
help
there,
but
we
got
to
figure
out
how
to
do
it.
D
All
right,
that's
basically
everything
I
had
questions
on
the
departments
again.
I
just
want
to
kind
of
reiterate
that
you
know
there's
a
saturation
point
coming
where
we
just
can't
pay
anymore
and
it's
coming
real
fast.
We
just
can't
keep
increasing
four
percent
every
year.
It's
a
it's
unsustainable,.
A
H
A
D
And
now
you
know
four
percent
on
our
levy
right.
I
understand
that
and
and
based
on
what
the
tax
rate
gets
reduced
to
I
mean
I
did
a
lot
of
math
if
the
rate
got
cut
in
half
based
on
my
new
revaluations
I'd
break,
even
so
anything
over
a
50
reduction.
In
the
rate,
my
my
taxes
are
going
up,
no
matter
what.
So,
if
we're
only
talking,
you
know
10
15
20,
that's
that's
not
gonna!
That's
that's!
Gonna!
D
I'm
still
looking
at
a
major
increase,
no
matter
what
so
that's
all
I
got
all
I
can
say.
Is
you
gotta
keep
in
mind
that
we
just
don't
have
it?
The
tenants
can't
afford
to
pay
it
and
if
they
can't
afford
to
pay
it
they're
out
on
the
street
and
my
places
are
empty
and
they
get
bought
up
and
sold
or
foreclosed
on
or
whatever
you
know.
I
understand
budgets
go
up,
but
it's
got
to
be
within
reason.
We
just
can't
pay
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
B
I
I
Okay,
hello,
my
name
is
jeff
roser.
I
live
at
19,
sweetwater
drive
in
coventry,
rhode
island,
I'm
here
tonight
before
you
as
a
I
own,
a
few
properties
in
west
warwick
and
my
wife
owns
a
small
business
in
west
warwick
as
well.
I'm
here
specifically
to
talk
about
the
assessed
values
versus
the
tax
rate.
I
I
360
something
went
up,
152
thousand
dollars.
If
the
current
I
know
we
talked
about
tax
rate,
it's
going
to
go
down,
but
if
it
stayed
the
same
150
here
in
china,
that
building
would
go
up
six
times
that
building
will
go
up.
Six
thousand
dollars
in
property
taxes
that
one
building
that's
insanity
have.
I
Yes,
I
did,
and
if
I
don't
get
the
right
answer
from
then
I'll
be
back
over
here
as
well,
I
I
drove
around
westward.
I
got
all
my
comps.
I
got
all
my
stuff,
it's
just
outrageous
now,
that's
I
have
other
buildings
too,
that
went
up
someone
up,
60,
000
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
Like
my
brother-in-law,
andy
said:
we
understand
that
you
guys
have
a
big
pension,
you're
trying
to
fill
and
you've
got
obligations.
I
I
know
you're
mandated
by
state
law
to
to
to
put
so
much
into
pensions
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
but
you
can't
keep
passing
it
on
to
the
landlords
and
small
businesses
that
contribute
taxes
in
this
town
and
take
care
of
their
properties
in
this
town.
Like
my
brother-in-law
said,
we
cannot
pass
it
on
to
the
tenants
any
longer.
A
lot
of
people
have
that
mentality.
Oh
just
just
raise
your
rents
just
raise
your
rents,
you
can
just
raise
your
rents.
I
We
have
tenants
now
that
can't
pay
their
rent
and
we
just
we
just
can't
absolutely.
Like
my
my
brother
said
we
just
can't
absorb
it
anymore.
It's
getting
to
that
point
where
it's
it's
it's!
You
know
they
said
this
is
I
don't
have
a
pension
if
you
have
a
pension
in
the
room
good
for
you,
my
buildings
are
my
pension.
I
I
We
just
can't
take
it
anymore,
so
I
don't
know
who
determines
the
tax
rate,
but
whoever
who
does
determine
the
tax
rate?
The
town
council.
A
Will
come
from
a
recommendation
between
the
assessor,
the
finance
and
the
town
manager
who
all
work
together
on
that
and
they'll
bring
those
numbers
before
us?
Okay,
and
then
we
have
to
look
at
that
now
I
mean
there
are
ways
to
move
things
around
per
se,
which
I
think
we've
done
in
the
past.
As
far
as
multi-family
single-family
in
one
year,
I
think
single-family
saw
a
decrease
in
taxes,
but
the
multi-families
three
family
and
higher
serve
25
taxes.
I
Yeah
I
was
a
victim
of
that
yeah
25
in
one
year,
because
you
said
you
put
the
tax
rate
up
to
the
equal
with
the
three
and
fours
yeah
like
that's
something
it's
just
it's
just.
If
I
got
my
when
I
bought
my
property
years
ago,
if
I
look
at
what
I
was
paying
property
taxes,
then
to
now
it's
astronomical
again,
I
understand
things
go
up.
I
understand
that
again
as
a
town,
we
have
an
obligation
to
to
me.
I
A
A
So
if
the
valuation
of
these
properties
go
up
to
whatever,
let's
say
two
billion
dollars,
no
matter
what
we
still
need
to
collect:
100
million
dollars,
not
110,
not
92,
100
billion
dollars
so
like
when
people
see
valuations
and
it
does
it's
usually
one
third
get
a
decrease.
One
third
stay
the
same,
and
one
third
see
an
increase.
That's
usually
how
it
happens
and
there's
years
that
it
goes
the
opposite.
You
know
some
of
the
people
who
saw
increases
three
years
ago.
A
I
might
be
seeing
decreases
this
year
because
they
were
hit
hard
three
years
ago
and
then
they
re-evaluated.
I
can
use
my
single-family
house
as
an
example.
You
know
I
was
up
40
three
years
ago,
I'm
up
19
this
year,
so
I'm
below
the
average.
So
when
the
tax
rate
is
set,
I'm
hoping
that
it
offsets
and
goes
to
the
right
direction
right
but
again
just
remember.
We
still
need
to
collect
a
hundred
million
dollars
now
our
town's
worth
one
billion
dollars
or
two
billion
dollars
in
valuation.
A
A
Due
to
these
appeals
and
everything
else,
we
haven't
solidified
those
numbers
yet
and
once
we
get,
I
wish
we
can
solidify
them
faster.
So
we
can
put
people's
minds
at
ease
to
understand
what
the
tax
rate
is
going
to
be
and
and
trust
me.
I
I
I
understand
you're,
probably
sitting
up
at
night
saying.
How
am
I
going
to
do
this?
You
know
I
have
a
two
family.
I
have
one
two
family
here
in
westborg.
I
have
one
in
coventry.
A
Got
to
also
figure
out
how
we're
going
to
make
it
work
all
right,
so
the
town
doesn't
end
up.
Let's
just
put
this
way,
the
town
have
a
good
time
if
we
don't
maintain
our
pension
fund.
What's
your
property
value
at
bankruptcy,
I
understand
well,
you
know
and
that's
what
we
want
to
protect
we're
trying
to
protect
you
in
that
aspect
also.
I
A
B
A
A
No,
no
because
you
might
cut
something
now
and
that
the
town
manager
department
head,
might
come
to
us
and
say
and
try
to
resell
it
to
us.
But
again
it's
our
decision
and
they
might
not
like
us
at
the
end
of
this
meeting.
Who
knows-
and
they
might
never
talk
to
us
again,
but
this
is
something
that
you
know
we
do
on
a
yearly
basis,
and
I
know
this
is
your
first
budget,
so
we
can
go
page
by
page
page,
four
town
manager.
J
B
Yeah,
I
would
just
I
would
just
reiterate
the
discussion
about
moving
people
around
and
whether
we
talked
about
finding
out
if
there
are
any
implications,
federal
money
with
that
cdbg
position.
So
I
just
want
to
put
that
out
there.
F
A
B
F
B
C
If
it
were
a
fully
funded
federal
position
and
then
the
position
was
asked,
the
person
in
position
was
asked
to
do
non-federally
funded
activities.
That
could
be
an
issue,
but
at
this
point
the
amount
that
could
be
coming
in
would
be
coming
in
is
much
less
will
be
less
than
what
the
person
was
being
paid.
So
therefore,
there
is
ability
to
have
other
types
of
work
being
done.
A
A
A
Based
upon
everything,
that's
happened
over
the
past
week
based
upon
what
I've
seen
over
the
past
week,
and
I
I
personally
think
that
you
know
that
we
maybe
get
rid
of
the
part-time
part-time
position
temporarily
and
see.
I
I
personally
think-
and
I
don't
know
how
to
say
this
publicly,
but
I
think
be
careful.
I
know
department
head,
I
I
think,
that's
a
department
if
we
have
somebody
in
there
full
time
that
they
should
be
able
to
run
that
department
on
their
own,
I'm
still
larry
on
the
part-timer.
G
B
B
Well
hold
on
before
you
get
into
that.
Let's
my
suggestion
doesn't
matter
right
now,
right
right,
there's
a
personnel
issue,
but
you
can
go
forward
discussing
the
line
items
and.
F
G
A
A
Things
did
fall
behind.
I
don't
disagree
that
possibly
bringing
that
up
to
full
time,
but
I
don't
see
another
part-timer
going
and
having
to
go
in
there
along
with
the
full-time.
I
think
we
can
increase
it,
but
not
not
with
a
part-timer.
Also,
that's
just
my
opinion.
That's
up
to
you
as
a
counselor.
B
A
F
F
A
F
G
F
B
F
B
C
Any
any
company
like
that
would
have
a
personnel
department
would
have
at
least
two
or
more
we
don't,
and
because
of
that,
I
think
that
there
are
needs
that
that
could
be
met
that
are
not
so
again.
If
you
look
at
it
in
that
standpoint
or
that
perspective,
a
company
that
size
part-time
person,
you
know
how
would
a
private
business
run?
Could
a
private
business
run
like
that?
In
my
opinion?
No,
and
that's
why
the
recommendation
is
before
you.
A
And
ernie,
let
me
ask
you
this
one
prior
to
hiring
a
director.
If
I
remember
correctly,
there
was
only
one
person
doing
that
job
prior
to
anybody
coming
here.
It
was
done
that
way
for
years
and
it
wasn't
a
director.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
a
director.
The
only
gripe
I
ever
had
in
that
position-
and
I
and
I've
still
stick
by
it-
is
that
hr
should
be
out
of
human.
That's
the
only
gripe,
not
the
person,
not
anything,
the
the
position
should
be
non-union
and
again
I'm
still
leery.
A
Why
does
you
have
to
have
a
director
over
one
a
director?
Why
does
why
can't
we
do
it
with
a
hr
person,
a
very
highly
qualified
hr
person
and
report
to
you
as
you'll,
be
the
previous.
The
town
manager
was
always
overseeing
hr,
but
we
always
had
an
hr
clerk
in
place
and,
like
I
said,
I
think
my
biggest
gripe
over
the
years
was
it
was
a
union
position.
It
should
be
out
of
them
other
than
that.
A
I
think
I
I
personally
think
we
can
fund
that
position
with
a
full-time,
qualified
person,
that's
doing
their
job
and,
if
they're
not
doing
their
job,
they
should
be
held
accountable
and
if
you're
held
accountable
and
you're
not
doing
your
job
you'll
be
out
the
door,
and
I
think
if
you
have
one
full-time
qualified
person
that
can
run
this
town
this
office.
That's
that's
just
my
opinion.
It
was
done
before
with
a
qualified
person
that
did
their
job.
The
only
great
anybody
had
was
it
was
in
the
union
and
that's
that's.
A
C
What
I
would
say
is
if
you
look
at
the
responsibilities
that
any
organization
has
reporting
at
state
level,
federal
level,
making
sure
that
all
the
regulations
laws
are
being
done.
You
know.
Certainly
there
is
the
aspect
of
you
really
have
to
have
a
person
that
understands
the
functions.
You
know
crosses
the
eyes
and
crosses
the
t,
shots
the
eyes
and
triple
kick.
I
mean
it
is
very
essential
that
that
that
type
of
work
be
done
and
go
back
to
again.
If,
if
we
were
a
larger
organization,
what
what
would
we
have?
C
We
would
have
more
than
that.
I
know
now
that
workflow
is
coming
into
the
manager's
office
and
that
and
that
point
that
takes
away
my
time
to
do
other
things.
You
know,
am
I
behind
in
a
lot
of
things,
yes
behind
in
a
lot
of
things,
because
I
can't
get
to
them.
I'm
behind
personnel
issues,
there's
personnel
issues
that
I
don't
know.
I
have
to
look
and
try
to
find
in
research,
so
it
does
take
time
away
from
the
manager's
work
that
he's
behind.
C
H
G
A
Right
now-
and
I
think
if,
like
I
said,
a
person
who's
here,
30
hours,
35
hours
a
week
doing
the
job,
I
think,
will
be
fine
right
now.
You
have
somebody
here
part-time
that
you
can
bring
in
on
occasion
as
as
you
sent
off
an
email
to
us
a
couple
weeks
ago,
and
I
understand
that's
going
to
back
you
up
and
backlog
you
because
you're
going
to
have
employee
issues
right
again,
I'm
I'm
one
guy,
I'm
one
person.
So
so
I
think,
is
what
I'm
hearing.
B
A
Just
think,
taking
a
leap
and
putting
back
the
full
time
and
a
pot
timer
without
having
solid
numbers
and
as
councilman
lechardi
said,
you
know
they
cut
it
back
to
part-time
last
year
and
yes,
the
first
three
months
or
four
months,
we're
taxing
department.
Heads
have
shared
that
with
us,
but
I
think
going
back
to
full-time
is
reasonable,
but
having
a
part-timer
in
there
right
now
is
unreasonable.
A
B
F
E
There's
you
know
you
have
to
consider
the
human
resources
director
he's
almost
the
protector
of
the
town,
there's
so
many
federal
guidelines
out
there.
There
are
being
that
there's
fmla,
there's
the
affordable
care
act,
there's
cobra
laws.
There
are
all
these
things
that
need
to
be
met
and
they're
not
being
met,
and
we
need
someone
who's
going
to
protect
the
town
and
protect
the
employees.
Why.
E
I
I
don't
know
if
there's
just
not
enough
time
right
they're,
just
this
person
needs
to
be
able
to
handle
a
lot
of
big
volume
of
work.
It's
a
big
responsibility
and,
in
my
previous
experience
in
searching
for
an
hr
person,
you
really
want
to
look
for
someone
who
has
these
certifications,
who
is
experienced
in
federal
and
state
and
local
government
laws.
You
just
you
want
to
make
sure
you
have
someone
that
is
here
to
protect
the
tent.
A
B
B
A
A
A
A
A
We
did
say
we're
going
to
put
a
line
item
in,
for
I
don't
did
you
get
that
change
last
time
it
was
two
thousand
dollars
for
advertisement
right.
F
Actually
put
into-
and
this
is
up
to
you
guys,
but
as
a
council,
but
reduce
that
ten
thousand
dollars
in
non
nonprofit
contribution
to
7
500.-
and
this
is
just
my
reasoning
behind
it-
would
be
twelve
hundred
dollars
in
in
advertisements
three
hundred
dollars
for
a
book
award.
That
brings
it
to
fifteen
hundred
well.
A
We
took
it
out
of
supplies
and
expenses,
not
out
of
the
non-profit
organization,
so
I
I.
F
B
F
So
I
went
for
the
for
the
non-profit,
a
max
per
group
for
a
non-profit
that
we
would
donate
sponsor
whatever
you
want
to
call
it.
I
I
had
it
at
fifteen
hundred
dollars,
and
just
I
would
say,
go
quarterly.
B
F
B
F
Know
I
think
we
do.
We
do
quite
a
bit.
We
help.
We
give
a
lot
to
a
lot
of
different
organizations,
but
again
I'm
trying
to
nickel
and
dime
this
a
little
bit,
because
I
agree
with
the
gentleman
that
came
up
here
and
a
3.9
percent
tax
increase
is
just
people
can't
afford
it.
I
mean,
I
think,
they've
told
me,
I'm
not
looking
to
go
to
zero.
F
You
know,
I
obviously
you
know
we
can
never
do
that,
but
people
call
me
and
they
say
what
do
I
do
just
like
the
gentleman
was
saying
you
know
these
are
older
people.
These
are
people
in
the
70s
and
80s
saying
I've
grown
up
here,
all
my
life
and
I
can't
pay
my
bills.
What
do
I
do?
I
don't
have
an
answer,
so
I
mean
I'm
looking
to
reduce
even
little
by
little.
B
F
B
A
A
The
sunshine
fund
again
that
just
a
lot
of
people
ask
about
that.
That's
the
cover
on
behalf
of
the
council,
if
an
employee
or
whatever
loses
a
family
member
or
whatever.
A
On
behalf
of
the
council,
on
behalf
of
the
town
or
fruit
basket,
to
the
family,
that's
where
that
is
so.
We
maintain
2500,
but
it's
not
that
we
use
it.
You
know
we
hope
not
to
use
it
actually,
but
I
mean
in
2018
we
did
use
1700
of
it
and
the
prices
of
stuff
is
going
up.
So
we
still
maintain
that
2500..
Somebody
did
ask
me
what
the
sunshine
fun
was:
it's
actually
a
family
member.
A
C
A
A
Issues
we're
going
to
take
it
as
5-0.
If
there's
issues
we'll
take
them
all
right,
ema.
A
A
A
Tax
assessor,
I
just
want
to
go
back.
B
A
B
G
When
he
first
started
working,
I
believe
he
was
under
the
impression
that
he
could
only
work
75
days
a
year
because
he
had
retired
from
the
same
position
in
the
city
of
cranston
and
the
state
law
on
retirement
says
can
only
work
75
days,
but
west
warwick
is
not
in
the
state
pension
system.
So
he's
not
limited
to
that.
B
G
He's
been,
he
was,
he
was
away.
I
did
some
texting
with
him
today.
He
remembers
signing
some
kind
of
paper
when
he
first
started
working
here
with
tracy
10
10
11
years
ago.
I
I
wasn't
here
at
that
time,
so
I
don't
know
what
he
signed
or
what
it
was,
but
I
think
it
was
160
dollars
a
day
for
seventy
five
days,
which
is
twenty
so.
G
A
Question
has
come
up.
You
know
he
used
to
be
responsible
for
printing
the
forms
for
labeling
them,
mailing
them
sending
them
out
and
all
that
which
used
to
take
up
a
couple
of
many
days
of
his
time.
A
B
F
B
B
A
A
Of
part
I
have
you
know,
first
of
all,
is
is
the
raise
increase,
but
the
other
question
that
was
brought
up
and
I
and
I
thought
about
it
afterwards
was,
and
you
hit
the
nail
you
said
he's
been
here
11
years,
so
how
many
businesses
are
out
there
that
aren't
assessed
or
how
many
things
out
there
aren't
assessed
if
you've
done
a
job
for
11
years
and
you've
done
it
thorough
and
you
work
at
75
days
a
year.
Yes,
it's
part
time,
but
I
think
by
year
five
you've
got
the
town
covered.
It's
not
like.
A
I
A
A
And
you
come
out
right,
a
new
business
comes
to
town
tony,
goes
out
and
assesses
every
single
one
like,
for
instance,
we
sit
here
and
approve
hundreds
of
licenses
a
month.
Does
he
go
out
and
assess
every
single
one
of
them
properties
or
new
licenses?
What
does
he
do
or
yes,
or
does
he
figure
it
out
from
behind
the
desk.
G
No
he'll
make
a
physical
visit
along
with
phone
calls
and
paperwork.
Sometimes
it's
a
business.
It's
a
vendor,
so
they're
not
going
to
be
they're
in
a
location,
but
someone
is
leasing,
something
from
a
from
a
vendor.
You
know
like
we
release
copy
machines,
so
we
assess
that
company
that
leases
them
to
us.
G
G
You
have
businesses
that
constantly
are
moving
in
and
out
all
year
long
they
bring
new
stuff
in
with
them.
The
old
stuff
goes
out.
We
had
the
case
there,
a
few
months
ago,
with
the
pizza
place
right
next
door
over
here,
the
friendly
way
the
guy
was
throwing
everything
out
and
everything
in,
and
so
now
all
new
stuff
is
going
in.
Is
the
person
go
to
report
we
don't
know
they're
supposed
to,
but
if
they're
not
it's
up
to.
A
A
And
my
question
is
and-
and
you
know
don't
take
this
the
wrong
way,
but
if
you
tell
me
I'm
getting
twelve
thousand
forty
two
dollars
and
that's
my
budget
and
I'm
sitting
here
saying
to
myself:
I'm
a
human
being.
I'm
gonna
come
in
my
75
days
and
get
that
twelve
thousand
forty
two
dollars,
but
I'm
not
gonna,
be
the
guy
to
say
you
know
what
I'm
gonna
save
the
town
two
thousand
dollars
and
not
come
in
ten
days.
A
G
A
G
G
F
A
B
G
At
certain
times
a
year
he's
out
more
than
others
so
because
you
know
like
during
the
the
winter
spring,
he
needs
to
spend
more
time
in
the
office,
because
that's
when
all
the
paperwork
is
coming
down,
it's
fall
late
fall
winter.
You
know
like
around
that
christmas
time.
That's
when
we
go
out
to
make
sure
the
businesses
are
still
there.
How.
G
No
he'll
usually
be
six
months.
He'll
do
a
couple
of
tours,
so
he'll
usually
make
one.
After
all,
the
builds
are
gone
out.
So
some
probably
like
august
he'll,
do
a
tour
see
if
anything
news
coming
in
then
he'll
do
another
one
christmas
christmas
time,
new
year's
time
to
see
if
they're
still
there,
because,
if
they're
not
in
on
december
31st,
we
can't
we're
we're
not
allowed
to
assess.
G
E
The
amount
that
line
is
twelve
thousand
forty
two,
but
includes
some
printer
maintenance
and
another
contract.
The
amount
budgeted
for
him
is
11
7
right.
E
E
F
I
still
have
questions.
We
have
a
a
floater
in
the
department,
I'm
sorry
floater
in
the
department
clerk
florida
clerk.
Yes,.
F
F
F
B
Else
in
the
tax
assessor
did
we
did
we
have
conversations
about,
and
so
you
can
answer
these
possible
cuts
for
the
conferences
and
travel
and
memberships.
Oh
yeah
colleges,
I
have
710
versus
the
3640.
G
A
B
A
E
There
are
classes
that
are
held
out
of
state
that
were
paid
for,
underneath
that
classification
that
you
cannot
take
here
locally.
E
I
have
been
taking
them
the
last
year
and
a
half
I
haven't
had
the
opportunity
to
go,
but
I
would
still
like
to
continue
to
go.
E
E
All
over
I've
been,
you
know
like
vermont,
new
hampshire,
maine
locally,
like
that
I
mean
I'm
not
looking
to
go
to
ohio
or
arkansas
or
any
place
like
that,
but.
E
They
are
from
every
month
in
various
parts
of
the
the
52
state
of
50
states,
okay
and.
E
It
depends
generally,
the
class
is
like
500,
but
then
you
have
to
stay
for
the
week
so
under
that
conference
and
travel,
that's
where
that
thousand
plus
expense
was
put
in.
C
C
You
know,
usually
dan
saying
is
like
a
regional,
you
know,
training,
regional
conferences,
so
whether
that
number
can
be
reduced,
it
probably
could
but
leave
something
in
there
for
the
ability
to
go,
and
you
know
further
that
type
of
training
so.
E
E
75
for
three
rhode
island,
assessor
association
meetings,
one
at
sixty
dollars,
there's
an
I
I
guess:
iao
conference
for
500
room
and
board
and
airfare
750
and
500
transportation,
100,
deputy
education
classes,
400,
deputy
lodging
1080
and
gas
for
office
vehicle
175.
G
G
A
G
E
G
E
G
A
B
F
G
E
A
B
Fire
so
with
fire
is
capital
budget
separate
from
this?
Yes,
yes,
okay!
So
we'll
do
that
separately,
yeah,
okay,
again
we're
hoping
to
address.
A
I'm
making
a
suggestion
from
here
from
dpw,
but
it's
actually
two
departments
it'd
be
building
official
and
department
of
public
works.
We
talked
about
the
maintenance
department
and
I
know
this
is
probably
contractual,
but
something
we
could
talk
about.
I
think
if
we
can
go
down
to
one
maintenance
person
for
the
buildings
and
then
move
one
person
down,
I'm
not
looking
to
cut
a
position,
I'm
looking
to
move
more
help
down
to
dpw.
G
A
A
Okay,
so
now
we're
looking
at
three
different
budgets,
so
we'll
go
back
to
police,
real,
quick,
I
think
one
you
know
in
councilman
d'amico
brought
up.
You
know
that
you
know
cleaning
this
building,
that
building
that
building
37
hours
a
week,
two
people
we
were
just
wondering
why
you
know:
could
it
be
done
with
one
person
and
and
move
that
manpower
to
somewhere
that
needs
it
also
throughout
the
year.
You
know,
so
that's
just
my
opinion,
I'm
just
throwing
it
out
there.
B
I
I
agree,
I
mean
if
we
could,
if
we
could,
you
know,
put
the
time
somewhere
else
somewhere
where
it
could
benefit,
and
maybe
that
makes
more
sense.
I
think
that
makes
sense
that
doesn't
change
the
dollars.
It
doesn't.
F
A
A
A
Official
again
I
I
just
brought
up
my
concern
with
building
official
versus
with
mario's
and
the
police
that
we
have
one
in
the
police
department
one
in
building.
So
we
can
look
at
that
zoning.
A
Any
issues
senior
center,
any
issues,
housing
board.
As
of
right.
Now
we
have
to
keep
that
4
800
in
case
we
do
fulfill
that
board.
So
I
don't
think
we
should
change
that.
A
F
F
I'm
not
for
it
there's
no
disrespect
to
librarians
or
their
or
their
schooling,
but
again
I'm
looking
to
cut
somewhere
at
some
point
and
I'm
I'm
not
for
the
12
000
this
year.
A
A
C
Yeah,
what
you're
going
to
see
is
for
the
budget's
current
staffing
and
there
could
be
longevity
shifts
or
stuff
shifts
things
of
that
nature,
so
the
the
salaries
are
as
they
were,
as
they
are
now
without
any
type
of
contractual
change.
H
F
B
E
E
B
B
B
F
D
B
E
B
A
G
Yeah
that
increase
in
department
head
the
way
it
works.
A
G
For
that's
for
six
full-time
employees
and
I
was
giving
the
part-time
employees
a
50
cent
an
hour
raise
that's
in
there
as
well.
Okay,.
F
I
don't
have
a
question
on
it.
Questions
same
similar
questions
I
had
last
year
is
we
we
say
we
all
right.
We
have
a
is
dave.
A
F
H
We
will,
in
the
summer
time
we
anticipate
having
part-time
people.
Don't
you
say
summer,
what
do
you
for.
H
H
H
H
F
H
Never
tried
that
that
might
be
a
tough
order
to
fill,
I'm
not
sure
something.
We
can
certainly
look.
I
H
But
it's
not
something.
I've
ever
tried
in
my
experience.
It's
usually
part-time
summer,
help
which
I'll
admit
is
getting
hard
to
get
nowadays.
You
know
we
used
to
have
them
all
over
the
place.
It's
just
hard
to
get
nowadays.
You
know
they
can
get
a
job
staying
inside
nice
and
clean
and
you
know
probably
for
more
money
than
we're
going
to
offer
them
to
come
here.
For
the
summer.
That's
been
my
experience
lately.
H
H
H
H
For
the
parks
department,
the
employee
we
have
in
the
parks
department
for
what,
though,
for
any
overtime
that's
incurred
for
field
maintenance,
cutting
anything
that's
incurred
in
in
if
you'll
see,
though
that's
been
cut
by
the
manager
and
some
of
that
money
moved
into
part-time
employees
to
try
and
cut
down
on
the
overtime
correct.
I
can
tell
you
now.
H
I
am
in
discussions
with
my
stash
my
staff
over
that
overtime,
I'm
not
sure,
what's
required
in
that
department
in
the
springtime
I
haven't
been
here
in
the
springtime
the
number
looked
high
to
me
when
I
first
looked
at
it
and
we
are
in
discussion.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
I
had
a
four-hour
discussion
today
about
it
what's
necessary
over
time
and
what's
not,
and
so
I
I
can
assure
you-
I
am
looking
into
what's
necessary
and
what's
not
and
what's
not
will
not
be
paid
out,
it
will
be
not
used.
H
I
can
tell
you
after
my
four-hour
conversation
today,
I
can
agree
on
there.
There
is
overtime,
that's
going
to
be
needed
there,
some
overtime,
there's
no
question
about
that.
If
we
need
all
that
we've
had
in
the
past,
jury's
still
out
on.
H
A
So
if
we
can
look
at
that,
I
mean
it's
not
fair
to
the
civic
center's
budget,
that
they
have
a
position
as
100
percent
funded
out
of
their
budget,
but
50
percent
use
them
for
box
scheduling
or
whatever
it
may
be.
Yeah,
I
would
say:
okay,
I
mean
if
you're
not
because
I
can
tell
you
you're,
not
scheduling
anything
up
there
in
the
summer,
except
for
you
know,
summer
ice,
maybe
if
but
the
civic
center.
As
far
as
sports
goes
up
there,
everybody's
outdoors
in
the
summer,
nobody's
indoors,
so
you're
probably
scheduling
your
baseball
games.
F
F
F
F
F
A
H
F
H
No,
we
talked
about
that
should
be
all
going
through
the
secretary.
That's
that's
how
that
should
all
be
done.
That's
a
change!
We're
going
to
be
looking
at
making
that
frees
that
person
up
right
to
be
on
the
fields.
Getting
everything
done,
that's
where
he
doesn't
have
to
bother.
He
showed
me
today
the
emails
he's
getting
from
teams
and
tournaments
and
everything
else
that
should
all
be
going
to
the
office,
not
for
the
outside
guy.
I
agree,
100
yeah,
that's
a
change!
A
And
I
will
say
this
dave.
I
know
it's
your
first
year,
but
I
know
I
spent
15
years
at
all
those
fields
and
it's
remarkable
the
amount
of
work
three
individuals
do
per
season
and
last
season
they
only
had
two
individuals
for
two
thirds
of
the
season.
So
again,
when
you
look
at
parks
and
rec
through
other
communities,
they're
sitting
here
with
staff
of
15
20
people
and
we're
sitting
on
staff
of
three
so.
J
H
H
H
A
What
your
priorities
are
guys
most
of
us
have
been
involved
with
leagues
throughout
the
years.
We
have
the
town
at
heart
and
we
want
our
fields
to
be
the
best.
You
know
nothing.
Nothing
is
a
greater
feeling
when
you
have
people
come
to
mccarthy
and
now
raise
silver
and
say:
wow,
you've
got
back
to
back
great
fields
and
you
know
best
in
the
state
when
we
hold
tournaments.
I
know
when
we
did
it
for
babe
ruth.
I
know
john,
you
you've
been
doing
it
for
40
years.
You
know
37.,
you
know.
A
When
people
come
to
our
fields
and
say
what
a
great
field
they
are
yeah,
you
know,
that's
that.
A
A
B
B
B
B
That's
capital
for
everything,
it's
capital
for
everyone.
Okay,
so
I
can
discuss
fire
yeah,
so
I
would
like
to
see
the
department
get
at
least
two
or
four
radios
that
they
requested,
which
they
requested.
Twenty
six
thousand
dollars
worth
of
radios.
If
we
did
half
would
be
thirteen,
I
just
feel
like
we
should
be
keeping
them
current.
You
know,
I
think
it
was
last
budget
or
budget
before
we
were
arguing
over
a
thermal
imaging
camera
and
I
think
we
denied
it,
but
we
didn't
deny
it.
F
A
Thermal
imaging
he
had
a
grant
for
and
we
approved
the
chief
room
chief
paris
came
before
us
and,
and
I
said
I
went
myself
councilman
giroux
and
I
think
there
was
one
other
person
there
and
town
manager
jim
thomas.
At
the
time
we
went
before
and
we
went
to
the
training
facility
and
we
were
downstairs
and,
like
I
said,
with
thermal
imaging,
I
couldn't
see
you
yeah.
I
mean.
A
But
yet
I
could
see
that
gentleman
in
the
corner.
If
I
had
the
thermal
imaging
and
to
me
you
know-
and
I
I'm
a
firm
believer-
and
I
I've
said
it
before.
I've
lost
a
family
member
in
this
town
and
I
think
it's
a
great
asset
and
I
think
you
know
for
sixty
five
hundred
dollars.
You
save
one
life,
it's
well
worth.
B
A
B
You
address
the
chief,
so
we
had
talked
about
the
flail
mower
appropriation
of
twenty
five
thousand.
It
was
only
plus
five
thousand
rent.
I
mean.
Maybe
some
of
that
money
could
be
shifted.
B
Okay
well,
thank
you,
and
I
did
want
to
just
mention
that
with
those
portable
radios,
they
would
be
to
replace
radios
that
we
have
right
now
that
aren't
code
compliant
with
the
microphone
microphones.
One
of
the
things
that
recently
they
identified
as
people
get
in
trouble
in
high
heat
environments.
J
B
Bring
into
the
fire
these
are
radios
that
bring
into
the
fire
and
so
that
their
their
lifeline
getting
out
to
the
incident
commander,
so
they
are
very
vital.
You
know
to
our
operation
and
in
a
safety
way,
so
I
did.
I
did
want
to
bring
that
up.
Okay,
so
it
is
very
important
to
us.
B
F
B
No,
that
that's
what
we
we
put
into
the
budget
to
start
to
replace
to
actually
start
to
replace
these.
We
have
about
60
portable
radios
right
now.
We
have
about
11
on
the
apparatus
that
have
been
replaced
with
the
apx.
I
have
the.
B
When
chief
barris
was
chief-
and
I
became
director
eight
years
ago,
chief
paris
and
I
put
a
program
together
where
we
actually
have
about
60
radios.
We
went
into
a
program
where,
every
year
we
asked
for
four
radios,
and
every
year
we've
gotten
four
radios.
Last
year,
we
we
asked
for
four.
It
got
cut
down
to
two
which
we
sat.
We
were
satisfied
with,
but
this
year
we
asked
for
four.
B
For
the
simple
reason
is
we
want
to
get
rid
of
the
last
four
radios
that
are
not
currently
serviced
by
motorola
they're
out
of
production
and
they're
out
of
service.
Motorola
does
not
service
them
anymore,
so
we'd
like
to
get
those
last
four.
We
put
them
in
a
payment,
we'll
use
them
as
backups,
but
we'd
like
to
get
them
out
of
front
running
trucks
and
get
our
last
four
replaced
with
the
current
serviceable
radios
that
motorola
currently
offers.
B
So
we
started
this
program
approximately
six
years
ago
and
we've
been
going
every
year
and
every
year
I
put
it
into
the
capitol.
So.
B
Probably
would
request
two
I'd
rather
go
back
and
just
go
with
two,
because
they
are
still
serviceable,
but
it's
just
every
year
these
radios
take
a
beating,
they
go
into
fires.
They
get
used
365
days
a
year,
24
7..
They
don't
last
forever.
They'd,
probably
be
useful
to
go
back
into
into
reserve
and
go
on
our
reserve
pieces
where
they're
not
used
every
day,
but
they
do
get
used
every
single
day.
B
A
Dave
the
jay
cosmilla
charity
asked
about
the
skag
mower
and
the
mower
for
parks
in
the
mold
for
dpw.
H
H
H
B
H
H
I
think
that's
what
he's
asked
me,
which
one
would
be
more
important.
Is
that
reasonable,
the
more
important
one
would
be
parks
and
rec
we're
going
to
they
do
a
lot
more
cutting
than
the
highway
department?
Does
you
know
the
highway
cutting
would
be
you
know
roadside
cutting,
which
we
do
with
a
lot
of
small
equipment
right
now.
The
request
for
the
larger
equipment
would
be
less
manpower
covering
a
lot
more
ground.
Yeah.
B
H
What
we
did
was
we
we
came
to
the
council.
We
got
permission
to
use
that
to
rent
that
flail
mower,
the
only
one
we
can
find.
I
think
it
might
have
come
out
of
connecticut.
I
could
tell
you
to
date:
we
have
not
used
it
yet.
It's
been
sitting
in
our
yard.
It's
been
under
repair,
I'm
basically
ready
to
tell
the
guy
I've
missed
my
window,
where
I
had
all
the
help
available
to
use
that
machine.
Take
it
back
I'll,
try
it
again
in
the
fall.
H
We
have
done
a
lot
of
work
without
it
on
the
bike
path
up
and
down
it.
So
that's
kind
of
the
route
we're
taking
right
now
I
may
reappropriate
that
money
that
was
approved
to
rent,
that
towards
buying
some
fence,
and
we
have
some
very
dangerous
areas
on
the
bike
path
that
we
need
to
pay
attention
to
immediately.
I'm
probably
going
to
reappropriate
that
5
000
to
buy
some
fencing.
A
H
B
H
H
H
H
B
Kristen,
will
you
be
able
to
send
out
an
updated
capital
budget
sheet
so
that
we
can
see.
A
One
thing
and
I'll:
let
public
comment
come
up
on
this
in
one
second,
just
part
of
our
budget.
The
last
final
pages
are
all
the
salaries
of
all
the
employees.
You
can
look
over
that
as
general
public.
If
you'd
like
it's
there,
it's
open
to
the
public,
there's
nothing
to
hide.
So
that
being
said
joe,
if
you
want
to
come
to
the
mic,
I
see
you're
on
your
way
up
already
yeah.
B
Along
with
the
budget
on
the
street
lighting,
I
know
that
the
town
of
johnston
had
sued
the
national
grid
for
the
street
lights,
that
they
said
that
the
was
on
state
property,
state
highways,
and
I
understand
they
won
the
suit
so
and.
A
B
A
G
They
filed
a
lawsuit
and
it
was
actually
even
though
they
won.
They
settled.
B
Moving
forward,
and
so
the
issue
of
the
they're
going
to
pay
going
forward,
but
they
don't
have
to
pay
going
back,
but
the
issue
is
with
prison.
The
town's
got
a
contract
with
them
already,
so
national
grid
has
been
kind
of
been.
B
G
G
H
H
A
J
Well,
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
to
really
peruse
it.
I'm
also
going
to
have
rose,
take
a
look
at
it
because
of
her
accounting
experience
with
bank
of
america,
but
there's
a
few
things
in
here
that
that
were
really
wow
and
the
one
thing
that
got
my
eye
is
under
fire,
page
20.,
sixth
line
from
the
bottom
hydrants
2016
375
546,
2018,
550
065,
and
then
we
got
projector
for
fiscal
year.
508
394
dollars.
Welcome.
A
Give
you
a
total.
We
have
a
total
somewhere
665.
J
There
was
a
lot
here
from
medical
insurance
on
the
tax
successors
and
I
ran
a
quick
calculation
yeah
page
17
fiscal
year,
2018
for
the
tax,
assessor
199
730.
It
was
193,
000
actual,
and
then
we
got
up
to
199,
so
the
bottom
line,
the
total
and
then
for
2019.
J
J
Yeah
yeah:
why
why
why
did
medical
insurance
go
up
so
much
well,.
E
Upgrading
the
working
rates-
yes
and
then,
if
you
look
back
at
fiscal
year,
17
and
18,
I
believe
there
were
gaps
in
staff
for
the
tax
assessor,
so
the
complete
expense
was
not
hitting
the
books
back.
Then
there
was
a
gap
of
time
when
before
we
hired
sal
right,
so
that
that
would
cause
those
numbers
to
look
lower.
But
yes,
absolutely
the
jump
between
to
from
20
from
19
is
about
8
000
and
that's
because
of
the
working
rates.
J
Department
of
public
works,
page
21..
Thank
you,
6,
lying
down
overtime.
I
looked
at
that
and
I
said
wow
150
157
365
dollars
in
overtime
and
we
got
150
000
projected
for
fiscal
year
2020..
Can
you
elaborate
on
that
a
little
bit?
That's
a
lot
of
overtime.
Where
are
we
line
six
page
21.
A
Well,
I
can
elaborate
a
little
bit
and
dave
and
elaborate
first
of
all,
snowstorms
happen
on
a
sunday.
That's
not
a
normal
work
day.
Snow
storms
happen
on
saturday.
It's
not
a
normal
work
day
depends
on
we.
