All

meeting
call
to
order
today
is
tuesday
april
28th,
that
is
now
6,
11
p.m,
town,
council,
budget
workshop
1170
main
street,
actually
all
of
west
warwick
and
all
over
the
state
of
rhode
island
tonight.
A
I
I'm
not
sure
if
marian
can
hear
what
I
mean
speak,
so
I
will
take
a
roll
call.
Councilwoman
williamson.
D
C
C
C
A
A
All
right,
well
I'll
start
with
item
number
one
or
supplemental
emergency
decoration
of
the
state
of
emergency
extension
executive
order.
2020-1
declaration
of
state
of
emergency,
as
amended,
will
be
amended
as
follows.
This
executive
order
shall
take
effect
immediately
and
remain
in
full
force
with
the
council's
approval
and
shall
continue
in
effect
and
automatically
renew
every
seven
days
until
june,
4th
2020,
unless
discontinued
earlier,
by
either
the
town
manager
or
the
town
council.
D
G
G
Will
be
determined
by
why.
C
G
Okay,
so
just
at
this
point
you
know
we
need
more
guidance
from
the
governor's
office
as
to
the
restrictions
that
are
going
to
be
in
place.
As
we
know,
the
governor
now
is
looking
to
reopen
certain
aspects
of
the
economy
and
government
services
offices
and
once
once
the
governor
starts
lessening
up
on
the
amount
of
people
that
can
gather
together
that
may
influence
we'll
have
a
direct
influence
on
the
referendum.
G
But
at
this
point
uncertainty
is
really
the
name
of
of
what
we're
facing
there's
great
uncertainty
as
to
what
the
state
budget
will
be
next
fiscal
year
going
into
the
pre
coven
19,
it's
hard
to
think
about.
I
pray
that
because
it's
dominated
everything
since
the
early
part
of
march,
but
the
state
budget
had
a
200
million
dollar
deficit
in
it,
and
the
governor's
proposed
budget
dealt
with
that
in
a
various
amount
of
ways.
One
of
the
ways
they
reduced
our
stress
community
aid
by
half
about
400
dollars.
G
So,
but
since
that
time
you
know
with
the
effects
of
the
coronavirus,
the
state's
revenues
have
fallen
off
of
cliff
was,
as
it's
been
often
said,
the
twin
river
casino
has
ceased
to
function:
lotteries
our
tickets
are
low
state
income,
tax
sales,
sales
taxes
really
been
affected
by
the
chronovirus
and
the
restrictions
on
sheltering
at
home.
G
You
know
that
has
been
something
that
has
been
sacred
to
speaker
mattiello,
but
now
he's
indicating
that
he's
looking
at
maybe
changing
the
schedule
for
reimbursement,
so
cities
and
towns
are
going
to
be
faced
with.
Do
we
send
out
motor
vehicle
bills
or
not?
If
we
send
them
out-
and
they
are
too
high,
then
there's
a
refund
if
they're
too
low,
then
it
may
have
to
be
a
supplemental
attack,
so
at
least
community
in
the
dark-
and
hopefully
you
know
the
governor's
office
and
the
governor
knows.
G
You
know
that,
hopefully
we'll
have
guidance
as
we
progress.
You
know
in
the
weeks
and
months
to
come.
So
with
that
again,
our
revenues
are
based
upon.
The
state.
Revenues
are
based
upon
the
governor's
proposal
in
january.
Local
revenues
are
based
upon
what
we
thought
they
would
be.
You
know
pre-corona
virus
effects
on
the
revenues
on
our
expense
side.
G
We
have
the
request
of
the
school
department,
which
was
included
as
requested,
and
the
school
department
has
been
a
great
partner
through
the
town's
fiscal
issues
in
the
last
four
or
five
years.
So
we
appreciate
that,
because,
on
the
town
side,
we're
estimated
with
the
same
fundamental
principles
the
last
two
have
had
in
the
last
two
budgets,
healthcare
has
been
estimated
in
five
percent.
As
you
remember,
last
year
we
had
a
larger
increase,
which
we
did
at
the
recommendation.
G
The
levels
recommended
by
our
healthcare
actuary,
which
at
that
point
were
you,
know,
double-digit
but
were
appropriate,
and
then
we
see
the
results
of
having
a
lesser
increase.
This
fiscal
year,
pensions
have
been
budgeted
in
accordance
with
the
actual
actuary
required
actual
contribution,
because
as
determined
by
our
actuary-
and
this
is
something
that
the
council
has
insisted
upon
as
well.
As
you
know
the
administration
so
we're
on
target
we're
funding,
100
of
that
required
contribution
and
all
wage
benefit
and
other
contractual
language.
G
Language
changes
from
the
collective
bargaining
agreements
have
been
incorporated
into
the
budget.
That's
been
presented
so
overall,
the
difference
between
the
manager's
recommended
budget
of
21
versus
the
top
10
budget.
Point
two
is
about
four
million
dollars,
but
some
of
that
is
offset
by
additional
revenue.
That's
been
you
know,
state
aid
or
other
revenues,
so
the
difference
is
a
local
property
tax
increase
of
about
2.2
million
dollars
of
that
2.2
800
000
is
allocated
to
support
the
school
system
and
1.4
is
allocated
to
support
municipal
services.
G
G
I
always
believe
from
learning
from
history,
and
I
subscribe
from
the
motto:
those
who
don't
remember:
history
are
doomed
to
repeat
it.
I
think
we
have
a
we're
on
the
right
track
in
many
areas
and
I
believe
we're
going
to
be
continuing
on
that
track.
So
with
that.
That
concludes
my
prepared
remarks
for
the
overview
of
the
budget
process
and
where
we
are
and
go
into
the
departmental
hearings.
A
Okay,
that
being
said,
why
don't
we
go?
I
know
there's
a
schedule
out
there,
but
let's
go
with
the
school
department
first,
since
that
is
the
largest
item
on
the
budget.
F
Sure
yep
well
good
evening.
Everybody
thank
you,
as
always,
for
the
opportunity
to
come
before
the
town
council
to
present
the
school
department's,
fy,
21
budget
and
I'll
just
start
with
saying
that
I
hope
everybody's
in
good
health
and
your
families
are
doing
well
during
this
time
to
use
the
town
manager's
words.
It
certainly
is
a
time
of
uncertainty
so
that
much
we
know
so
I
hope
everybody's
doing
okay.
F
Our
state
pension
contribution
is
one
hundred
and
thirty
three
thousand
dollars
and
that's
a
four
percent
increase.
Our
op
contribution
has
a
decrease
of
seventy
eight
thousand
dollars.
Twenty
two
percent
based
on
the
actuarial
valuation
and
the
municipal
pension,
has
an
increase
of
six
percent
at
one
hundred
and
three
thousand
dollars
goal
number
three
consideration
of
future
budgets
for
the
fy
21
budget
development
was
kept,
was
developed,
keeping
in
mind
and
predicting
its
expenses
in
upcoming
years.
F
After
several
years
of
level
funding,
the
school
department
does
anticipate
requesting
an
increase
in
appropriation
from
the
town
in
future
budgets,
beginning
with
fy21
in
goal
number
four
supporting
education
programming
in
the
school
department.
This
budget
meets
the
requirements
under
all
regulations,
federal
state,
special
education
and
the
bep.
F
We've
increased
the
number
of
pathways
for
our
high
school
students
to
a
total
of
seven
approved
programs
at
this
time,
and
I
remember
way
back
in
2015
when
we
were
talking
about
our
budget
and
our
concern
about
students
going
out
of
district
and
the
cost
for
out
of
district
place
tuition
payments
to
students.
We
talked
about
increasing
our
pathways
and
we've
done
just
that
to
this.
To
this
total
we
have
our
facilities
and
operation
management
program,
our
academy
of
finance.
F
We
have
computer
science,
pre-engineering,
music,
visual
arts,
media
broadcasting
and
journalism,
music
performance
education
and
we're
really
excited
about
two
new
ones
that
were
just
approved
for
an
met
and
a
bioscience
program
and
we're
always
considering
other
ones
to
seek
approval
from
ride.
Our
graduation
rate
continues
to
rise
after
a
spike
in
recent
years
to
our
latest
being
92
percent.
F
These
accomplishments
not
only
reflect
the
great
work
being
done
in
the
school
department.
In
our
continued
commitment
to
the
town,
it
sheds
a
positive
light
on
the
whole
town
of
west
warwick
as
being
innovative
and
progressive,
and
as
always,
we
are
committed
to
supporting
the
town
in
in
the
town
financial
situation,
as
the
town
manager
mentioned
earlier
in
his
remarks,
and
as
always,
we
appreciate
your
past
and
your
continued
support.
F
Thank
you
and
joe
spagnus
here
to
help.
If
we
have
any
more
specific
questions.
D
D
Actually,
I
did
have
a
question
about
how
how
covid19
has
hit
your
budget,
and
will
you
get
that
money
back?
I
know
that
some
of
the
provisions
for
the
state
money
that
was
received
allows
you
to
pay
for
some
chromebooks
and
things
like
that.
Do
you
have
any
idea?
I
mean
it's
very
early.
I
know.
H
They've
asked
us
to
submit
through
the
second
half
of
march,
and
I've
got
some
projections
for
april
and
after
our
meeting
with
fema
and
rima
that
I
did
with
the
chief,
the
amounts
have
changed
a
little
bit.
D
H
H
There
was
a
lot
of
time
put
into
the
distance
learning,
but
it
was
all
time
during
a
regular
course
of
a
day
which
we
would
have
been
doing
anyway,
so
they
only
let
us
allow
salaries
that
are
above
and
beyond
what
we
normally
would
have
seen
as
far
as
ours
worked.
F
And
and
I'll
just
add,
that's
actually
an
excellent
question
and
I'll
go
back
to
the
word.
The
town
manager
used
about
uncertainty
as
we're.
You
know
it
seems
like
we've
been
in
this
for
a
long
time,
but
it
really
hasn't
been
so
as
we
develop
our
distance
learning,
programming
and
servicing
all
of
our
students.
You
know
we're
still
working
out
ways
to
service
some
of
our
special
needs
population,
some
of
the
related
service
providers,
in
how
we
how
we
provide
those
services.
D
H
F
So
every
year
we
see
more
kids
being
interested
in
our
pathways,
and
you
know,
as
we
committed
to
from
the
beginning.
You
know
our
students
will
have
access
to
them
first
and
then,
as
students
show
interest,
we'll
will
allow
kids
into
the
programs
that
will
be
tuitioned
in,
but
you
bring
up
another
really
good
point
regarding
distance
learning,
our
kids
now
that
either
go
to
another
district
for
a
pathway
or
the
kids
that
come
in.
We
still
feel
in
those
programs
and
we're
still
providing
that
those
programs
digitally.
H
F
For
different
reasons,
some
kids
find
that
the
commute
to
a
different
district
is
too
long.
They
don't
want
to
be
on
the
bus
that
long
some
decide
it's
not
the
program
they
wanted
or
thought
it
might
be.
Some
kids,
the
reality
is,
is
they'd
rather
be
in
their
hometown
in
their
home
school
with
their
friends
and
part
of
their
home
school
community.
So
it's
it's
been.
You
know,
I
think,
when
it
first
kind
of
you
know
expanded
a
few
years
ago.
F
Kind
of
the
excitement
and
the
newness
of
it
was
an
appeal
for
a
lot
of
kids
and
and
there's
still
kids
that
go
out,
but
I
think
that
kind
of
the
small
and
I'll
be
honest.
D
Well,
I
don't,
I
don't
have
any
other
questions
on
the
budget,
but
I
know
you
guys
have
done
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
carrying
you
and
your
team
and
and
all
the
teachers-
and
I
know
it's
been
tough
on
parents,
and
I
hear
a
lot
about
how
west
work
is
sort
of
out
in
the
forefront
in
distance
learning
and
doing
a
great
job.
So
thank
you,
hats
off
to
all
of
all
of
the
teachers,
administrators,
great
job.
F
Well,
I
appreciate
it
appreciate
that,
as
we
all
know,
it
was
an
abrupt
jump
into
distance
learning.
Literally,
you
know
days
notice
to
to
jump
in.
So
you
know
I'll.
Just
I'll
just
comment
back
saying.
You
know
we
really
do
have
a
good
team
and
everybody
has
really
worked
hard
and
again
with
the
support
of
the
town
council.
F
For
several
years
now
we
had
the
technology
base
in
place
to
jump
in
which
has
not
been
the
case
in
a
lot
of
other
districts,
so
we're
fortunate
to
have
the
support
for
the
technology
we
have
for
for
several
years
now.
So
thank
you.
C
And
I'd
just
like
to
piggyback
on
what
councilwoman
williamson
just
said,
you
guys
do
a
phenomenal
job.
As
you
know,
a
father
of
three
who
have
already
gone
through
the
system
and
a
son
who's
presently
there,
especially
under
these
present
conditions,
also
as
a
teacher
who,
who
understands
it
from
the
inside
wes
walks
doing
a
fantastic
job
so
so
keep
up
the
great
work.
A
Thank
you
guys,
councilman
charlie.
I
know
you
want
us.
A
I
Right,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
karen
joe
thank
you
for
a
very
detailed
budget
which
it's
very
easily
understandable,
and
I
I'll
also
piggyback
with
what
councilman,
d'amico
and
councilwoman
williamson
said.
I'm
actually
becoming
a
teacher
during
distance
learning.
I
It's
and
we
all
had
to
jump
into
this
and
no,
I
think.
D
I
The
one
question
I
have,
though
I
I
want
to
be
prepared.
I
know
last
year
when,
whenever
when
we
everybody
voted
first,
the
first
voted
the
budget
went
down
and
then
it
came
back
to
us
if
I'm
not
expecting
it,
but
I
just
want
to.
I
don't
want
to
be
caught
off
guard.
If
this
happens
again,
would
you
be
able?
Would
you
be
able
to
cut
from
some
of
that?
800
000
if
needed-
and
I
know
you
haven't-
come
to
us
in
five
years
so.
F
Well
I'll,
just
at
this
point
I'll
just
say
that
there's
no
fluff
in
the
budget,
you
know
everything
in
there
is-
is
needed
and
required
again,
we'll
just
have
to
see
where,
where
we
land,
if
that's
the
case,
we'll
just
have
to
assess
again
there's
a
lot
of
uncertainty
right
now.
Regarding.
F
Budget
and
so
we'll
just
have
to
have
to
assess,
but
I
I
can
say
with
certainty
at
this
point:
there's
no
no
extra
in
in
our
budget.
F
C
C
Come
come
the
budget
vote
because
of
everything
that's
going
on
the
uncertainty
across
the
board,
so
I
just
think
we
have
to
do
our
job
and
look
at
this
budget
as
close
as
possible,
and
I
know
ernie
and
kristen
put
a
lot
of
work
into
this,
but
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
tough
sell,
because
a
lot
of
people
are
struggling
right
now,
so
I'm
not
saying
I'm
against
it
either.
I
just
think
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
it
really
closely.
C
F
But
again
you
know
what
john
that's
a
good
point.
There's
we
don't
know.
What's
going
to
happen,
we
don't
know
you
know
we
we're
not
sure,
what's
going
to
happen
with
summer
school
in
terms
of
that's,
why
and
so
september
is
certainly
out.
There
is
to
we're
we're
waiting
for
some
direction
and
guidance.
F
F
F
Part
of
the
conversations-
and
you
know
all
going
into
it,
always
with
our
our
budget
in
mind
and
the
town's
budget
and
the
financial
situation
in
town
and
what's
going
to
be
best
for
for
kids
and
families
and
and
we'll
just
see
what
happens
as
it
comes
along.
F
I
F
Well,
that's
what
we
don't
know
jason
right
now,
it's
it's
not
an
option,
as
we
all
know
you
know
directed
to
to
provide
instruction
remotely
moving
forward.
I
don't
know
if
there'll
be
options
or
not.
What
I
would
imagine
is
that
the
governor
will
come
out
with
clear
guidance
like
she
has
already
around
social
distancing,
the
economy.
F
You
know
people
have
had
to
close
their
businesses
for
the
time
being
very
clear
direction
from
the
state,
and
I
I'm
imagining
that
when
it's
time
to
make
a
decision
around
what
schools
are
going
to
do,
they
will
be
the
same,
very
clear
direction,
guidance
and
boundaries,
but
we
don't.
We
have
not
been
given
any
yet.
A
Again,
thank
you
to
the
school
department,
joe
karen
school
committee,
members,
randy
cooper
and
joseph
d
martino,
who
here
tonight
thank
you
for
working
hard
on
the
budget.
I
know
when
your
budget
was
fairly
voted
on.
None
of
this
was
going
on,
so
we
were
just
starting
up,
so
we
we
have
definitely
seen
some
change
since
our
budgets
have
been
formatted
and
entered
so
hopefully
we
can
figure
it
out,
and
hopefully
the
taxpayers
can
understand
what's
going
on.
A
It
is
a
tough
time
for
everybody.
Town
is
trying
to
work
with
taxpayers
to
help
them
with
their
taxes,
with
relief
and
postpone.
You
know
postponing
out
a
month.
So
you
know
the
town
will
do
what
it
can
and
hopefully
we'll
drive
in
the
end.
B
Yeah,
so
so,
just
quickly
our
budget
is
going
from
909
million
246
894
to.
B
And
982
dollars,
but
the
majority
of
that
597
thousand
dollars
is
contractually
from
the
last
negotiation.
And
although
you,
if
you
look
in
the
salary
it's
negotiated
in
our
budget
last
year,.
B
A
lot
of
you
know
it
was
the
increase
right
away
in
july,
two
percent
in
january,
two
percent
in
july,
coming
up
and
two
percent
in
january
again
going
forward.
So
that
is
so.
The
salaries
itself
is
about
three
hundred
thousand
dollars.
In
addition
to
that,
the
ancillary
things
like
the
longevity
goes
up
by
about
thirty
thousand
holidays,
went
up
by
twenty
thousand
and
the
only
other
additions
were
to
to
our
budget
worth
mostly
for
the
fire
stations
that
need
some
work.
We
have.
B
We
have
not
really
maintained
the
stations
as
well
as
I
would
like
to
see,
and
they
really
need
some
work
coming
up.
So
that
is
another
edition.
So,
through
the
year
last
calendar
year
we
responded
to
over
7
200
runs,
we've
consistently
increased.
The
runs
this
you
know
with
the
covid
responses,
where
over
70
runs
that
we've
had
with
the
covet.
B
We
instituted
a
couple
of
programs.
One
of
the
programs
was
a
narcan
distribution,
so
the
all
the
fire
stations.
If
anybody
needs
narcan,
they
can
come
into
one
of
the
stations
and
be
shown
how
to
use
it
and
be
given
free
samples
of
narcan
help.
B
Protect
someone
in
addition
to
that
over
the
course
of
the
year
we
had
to
buy
a
lot
of
company
ladder
was
out
for
several
months,
and
it
ended
up
being
out
for
almost
six
months
in
about
two
and
a
half
months
through
that
we
did
go
out
and
buy
a
lot
of
company
with
your
approval.
B
A
If
how
you
know
some
of
those
things
that
you
mentioned,
you
know
also,
I
just
want
to
point
out
like
that
ladder
truck.
You
saved
us
a
lot
of
money
because
of
the
actual
cost
of
that
ladder
truck.
It
would
be
crazy
if
we
would
have
let
that
go
on
for
the
money
that
they
were
asking
for.
A
So
you
know
again.
I
know
I
know
you've
been
very
frugal
in
your
budget,
but
also
taking
care
of
the
men,
and
I
don't
think
we
have
any
ladies,
but
men
and
women
of
the
fire
department
and
the
the
only
thing
that
usually
comes
up
is
how
how
are
we
looking
on
overtime
this
year?.
B
We're
gonna
be
slightly
above
on
the
overtime
I
believe
I'm
predicting
about
five
percent
over
is
where
I'm
anticipating
we
do
have
some
offsets
with
a
training
grant
that
we
have.
The
money
is
has
been
coming
out
of
the
the
overtime
budget.
I
think
we've
replaced
most
of
that.
B
B
We
had
12
individuals
in
a
fire
department,
instructor
class
that
was
interrupted
with
the,
so
those
are
offsets
that
will
be
going
against
the
the
overtime
budget,
as
I
have
it
as
of
today
we're
about
16
left
in
the
budget
year
and
we're
at
11,
which
is
x
that
actually
comes
out
to
five
percent
right
there,
so
you're.
Maintaining
that,
I
think,
will
be
good
and
also
in
the
past
month,
I'm
predicting
about
forty
thousand
dollars.
B
C
B
Yeah,
so
actually
the
director
communications,
I
think,
is
on
I'd
like
him
to
address
that.
If
he
would,
you
want
john,
I.
C
Am
on
you
guys
hear
me:
yes,
okay,
the
bulletin
board
systems
are
part
of
our
computer-aided
dispatch
system
that
we
employed
about
five
years
ago.
It's
an
add-on
to
that.
What
it
would
do
would
each
station
would
get
somewhat
of
a
a
live
stream
tv,
their
general
area.
C
So
when
that
station
is
dispatched
to
a
call,
the
main
purpose
of
it
is
that
call
will
pop
up
on
the
screen.
It'll
give
direction,
it'll
actually
pinpoint
the
gps
on
the
screen
and
it'll
actually
give
the
the
run
number
and
all
the
information
pertaining
to
that
call
to
the
guys
before
they
go
out
the
door.
C
It's
just
another
tool
for
the
guys,
they'll
look
at
it.
Other
things
that
can
be
done
with
it
is
training.
Bulletins
can
be
sent
down
to
them.
Training
dates
and
times
can
be
sent
down
to
them.
Also,
who's
working
can
be
sent
down
so
just
another
tool
for
the
guys
to
have
in
the
stations,
but
the
main
gist
of
it
is
that,
when
a
call
is
sent
to
a
certain
station,
the
gps
pops
up,
a
pinpointed
mock
will
come
up
on
the
thing.
C
C
B
We
have
been
adding
to
our
our
pre-fire
data
plan
company's
been
going
out
doing
inspections,
loading
information
into
that
cad
system.
C
G
Much
of
the
information
discussed
is
relayed
to
the
dispatch
or
you
know,
through
radio,
to
the
responding
engines
in
general.
The
requests
of
the
departments
were,
I
think,
2.5
million
dollar.
What
was
cut
was
2.1
million
dollars.
So,
looking
at
the
system
saying
there
are
some
advantages
to
it,
but
you
know:
other
expenses
in
the
fire
department
seem
to
be
more.
D
Actually,
the
the
only
question
that
I
have
fleet
maintenance
chief,
it
looks
like
through
the
end
of
march,
we're
way
above
budget,
and
yet
we
we
went
back
to
70
000
in
this
year's
budget.
Is
that
reasonable?
We
had
an
unusual
year.
B
Well,
we
had
an
unusual
year
in
that
the
the
latter
that
did
break
it
cost
us
just
a
little
over
thirty
thousand
dollars,
which
is
you
know,
forty
percent
of
that
budget.
Okay,
the
high
forties.
You
know
for
that.
One
item.
I
I
have
one
question
for
the
chief
sure
and
this
this
may
have
been
something
you
talked
you
were
talking
about
on
my
end,
you
were
breaking
up.
So
if
it
was
this
item,
then
I
apologize
where
it
says
alarm.
Radio,
computer-
and
this
might
have
been
something
that
john
patel
was
talking
about.
Last
year
we
adopted
37
000,
now
we're
up
to
102.
B
So
part
of
that,
I
believe,
is
the
contract
with
rcc
a
portion
of
our
that
budget
is
going
to
be
going
to
rcc.
B
For
that
160
or
180
000
budget,
so
we
put
money
I
think
in
in
a
few
departments,
in
order
to
not
putting
strain
on
one
department.
D
D
So
in
your
book
that
you
received
in
january,
if
you
go
to
the
fire
tab,
I
provided
a
detail
that
jeff
provided
to
me
of
everything
that
is
makes
up.
That
hundred
and
two
thousand
dollars.
C
A
B
So
ema
has
been
very.
B
B
Henry
had
been
the
deputy
director
and
he
did
a
great
deal
with
the
hazard
mitigation
plan.
He
since
has
moved
on
to
a
different
job
and
that
spot
now
is
being
held
by
tom
saner
tom
has
been
in
the
town
for
a
long
time.
He
is
he's
been
a
many
incidents
that
I've
been
at.
He
gives
a
lot
of
himself,
and
so
I
appreciate
his
his
help.
B
We've
got
a
group
of
about
eight
people
in
the
ema,
they've
been
assisting
the
school
department
in
they've
been
doing,
they
have
run
warming
shelters
in
the
winter,
but
last
winter
and
cooling
showers
in
the
summer.
They
helped
at
the
beginning
of
the
covered
pandemic
and
ran
a
flu
shot
clinic.
So
they've
been
very
active
in
the
community
and.
A
You
know
it's
been
a
little
hectic
for
you
lately
with
everything
going
on.
I
know
you've
been
trying
to
use
john
patel
and
these
meetings
taking
time
away
from
yourself
to
help
us
help
the
community.
So
thank
you
once
again
and
and
thank
you
to
your
department,
you
know
when
they,
when
they
signed
on
as
firefighters,
I'm
sure
they
weren't
expecting
a
big
endemic
to
come
out,
and
you
know
this
has
definitely
been
a
change
for
your
department.
You
know
kudos
to
you
to
your
group
for
what
they've
been
doing.
D
B
Yep,
it's
it's
75
is
what
the
the
grant
model
is,
and
I've
got
about
forty
thousand
dollars
in
like
overtime
expenses.
We
did
have
one
member
that
tested
positive,
so
he
had
contact.
He
had
just
worked
the
day
before,
so
he
had
contact
with
seven
other
individuals,
so
they
all
had
to
be
quarantined.
B
In
addition,
we
had
three
other
members
that
had
contact
with
positive
individuals
outside
of
work
that
still
needed
to
be
quarantined
according
to
the
department
of
health's
guy.
So
that's
what
we're
going
to
be
putting
in
for
reimbursement
on
all
the
overtime
expenses
for
all
of
those
individuals.
B
In
addition,
we've
spent
about
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
on
equipment
for
the
covid
and.
B
And
we'll
be
looking
for
reimbursement
on
that,
so
that
I
have
about
in
the
first
initial
submission
that
we
put
in,
I
believe
we
put
in
for
about
270
thousand
dollars
sure
exactly
how
much
of
that
we
got
back.
That
was
in
march
toward
the
end
of
march,
and
they
were
asking
us
to
predict
what
our
expenses
would
be
to
the
end
of
march.
I
know
I
believe
chris
could
probably
speak
a
little
better
about
it,
but
one
of
eight
communities
in
the
state
that
actually
got
some
money
from
that
first
round.
D
We
didn't,
we
didn't
get
any
money
yet
from
that
that
was
they
just
wanted
to
get
an
idea
of
what
was
what
was
coming
their
way,
I
think,
but
what
we
did
that
was
in
our
rescue
billing
account
from
the
department
of
health
and
human
services
because
of
medicaid
we
did
get
about
27
000
dollars
to
poverty
because
of
our
medicaid
rescue
ones.
C
A
And
ernie
and
chief,
I
know
you
guys
have
been
on
these
calls
and
you
know:
councilwoman
williamson
brings
up
a
good
point
about
reimbursement.
Have.
Has
anybody
brought
this
up
on
the
federal
side
as
far
as
the
reimbursement
from
fema
or
whatever
not
taking
as
long,
for
instance,
we'll
use
the
2010
floods?
We
received
that
money
in
2019
2020.?
A
Has
anybody
brought
that
up
and
you
know,
because
we
are
a
community
that
probably
can't
afford
long-term
loans
per
se?
But
you
know:
is
there
a
timeline.
G
G
G
You
know,
and
at
the
federal
level
we're
talking
about
providing
aid
to
the
states
and
cities
and
towns
counties
and
for
expenses
in
the
next
major
stimulus
package.
So
if
that
whole
philosophy
of
trying
to
get
funds
out
to
the
communities
that
desperately
need
them
because
of
the
impact
of
the
point
of
virus
on
services
and
expenses,
it
should
be
quicker.
C
G
C
I'm
wrong,
I
don't
mean
to
cut
you
off
for
me,
but
didn't
didn't
the
governor
say
something
that
she
would
be
announcing
later
this
week.
Some
more
announcements
about
the
local
municipalities.
G
Yes,
I
think
that
she's
gonna
be
giving
more
directives.
You
know
for
reopening
of
different
facilities.
You
know
if
you
have
parks
beaches,
marinas
those
are
going
to
be
part
of.
What's
going
to
be
discussed
and
at
the
local
level.
What
we're
really
really
looking
for
is
some
guidance
as
to
you
know,
for
communities
that
have
financial
tell
meetings
or
referendums.
G
G
G
Can
the
cities
and
towns
borrow
a
short-term
funds
to
cover
a
potential
shortfall
until
budgets
are
adopted
and
tax
bills
go
out
and
can
be
received?
So
I
think
that's
the
type
of
guidance
that
we've
been
looking
for
from
the
governor's
office.
Is
you
know
our?
How
can
we
operate
doing
the
business?
We
have
to
do
the
requirements
we
have
to
follow
when
we
have
various
restrictions
in
place
now
the
state
did
receive
the
1
billion
200
half
of
the
1
billion
250
million
dollars.
So
they
have
that
and
they
were
awaiting.
G
They
had
some
guidance
from
the
federal
government
how
that
could
be
spent
and
by
now
maybe
they
have
the
other
guidance
of
how
that
can
be
spent.
So
again,
the
league
of
cities
and
hotels
have
been
very
active
working
with
the
governor's
office
or
other
state
agencies
on
behalf
of
the
citizen
towns
trying
to
make
our
needs
known
as
far
as
reimbursement
and
what
we
have
to
deal
with.
G
So
to
make
a
long
answer
short,
we
don't
know,
but
if,
if
the
fundamental
belief
is
we
have
to
respond
quickly
to
restore
the
economy
and
assist
businesses,
entities,
hospitals,
clearly,
cities
and
towns
and
the
state
are
in
that
boat.
So
that
message
is
out
there.
Hopefully
they'll
respond
quicker
than
you
know.
The
10
years
from
the
last
one.
D
Actually,
one
more
question
chief:
how
are
you
on
ppe.
B
So
we
started
planning
very
early.
I
wasn't
able
to
speak
at
the
last
meeting.
Sorry,
but
we've
started
playing
very
early
and
and
play
some
orders
in
feb
early
february.
B
They
were
even
backwarded
then,
but
we
did
get
delivery
in
beginning
in
march,
like
the
first
week
of
march
before
we
actually
had
any
runs.
So
we
are
compared
to
our
the
other
departments
in
the
area.
We're
well
stocked.
B
Not
not
at
this
time
the
only
president
really
had
were
the
face
shields
and
the
school
department
stepped
up
and
gave
us
something
a
couple.
Other
companies
stepped
up
sound

in,
I
remember
the
other
one
lacerda
they
all
stepped
up
and-
and
we
have
a
good
amount
of
face
shields
now
and
then

A
Thank
you.
Chief
town
and
planning.
C
Okay,
my
budget's
pretty
self-explanatory
tried
to
level
fund
just
about
everything
in
the
budget,
so
the
only
increases
are
in
salaries
and
benefits
related
to
salaries,
which
were
across
the
board
for
all
of
the
non-union
employees.
I
think
there
was
a
resolution
approved
by
the
city
council.
So
that's
the
reflected
increase
in
the
planning
budget.
Everything
else
is
pretty
much
level
funded.
H
G
C
H
A
Thank
you
mark
we'll
go
into
town
engineer.
G
G
One
of
the
areas
that
you
know
it
doubled
from
you
know:
20
000,
to
40
000..
This
is
for
additional
services
that
may
be
above
and
beyond
the
scope
that
the
town
has
technical
expertise
for
and
again
we're
fortunate
to
have.
A
director
of
public
works
is
a
as
an
engineer,
a
civil
engineer.
G
So
that's
really
a
great
asset
to
us,
but
there's
going
to
be
times
where
special
special
needs
or
special
items
are
going
to
be
necessary
for
projects
and
one
of
the
things
that
we've
noticed
that
you
know
when
we
do
go
out
to
bid
and
proposals
on
some
bigger
projects.
We
may
need
to
look
at
hiring
a
consultant
to
help
with
the
management.
You
know
the
specifications
and
the
administration
of
the
project
program
similar
to
the
the
sewer,
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
and
the
sewer
department.
G
They
use
the
consulting
engineer,
jim
dearmonk
jeremiah,
to
do
a
lot
of
their
work
as
far
as
the
process
goes
from
developing
specs
reviewing
recommending
construction
management
oversight
to
closure,
and
there
may
be
situations
coming
up
that
the
town
may
have
to
look
at
that
model
for
special
projects.
But
there's
one
now
that
we're
looking
at
that.
G
We
may
need
some
a
little
bit
more
expertise
on
than
what
the
director
has
is
either
time
or
the
experience
factor
to
do
so
that
it
was
basically
to
bolster
up
the
ability
to
use
a
consulting
engineer
as
needed
and
again
we're
fortunate,
because,
with
you
know,
we
can
piggyback
on
actually
there's
a
contract
with
the
sewer
department
for
jim
germain
associates.
And
we
can
piggyback
on
that
as
well.
G
And
there
are
times
where
you
know
the
building
department
has
used
them
for
looking
at
projects
that
are
going
on
reviewing
plans
and
responding
to
the
technical
areas
for
expertise.
So
the
intent
is
to
just
add
a
few
few
more
dollars
to
give
us
the
ability
to
reach
out
for
specialized
skills
when
we
need.
G
Yeah
again,
their
their
budget
again
is
is
a
very
small
minimal
budget
for
the
the
running
of
the
board
and
the
assistance
necessary
for
the
meetings
and
pretty
much
that's
it.
You
know
very
small
budget.
There.
A
G
All
right,
the
personnel
budget
has
increased
from
the
prior
year.
G
There
is
an
inclusion
for
a
part-time
employee
to
assist
with
the
clerical
work
of
the
office
and
as
we
look
at
the
needs
of
the
department
again-
and
you
know
the
analogies
that
everyone
is
probably
sick
of
sick
and
tired
of
hearing
about.
But
again
when
you
look
at
an
organization,
you
can
compare
it
to
a
structure
building
the
house.
G
You
need
a
strong
foundation
to
move
forward
and
I
think
one
of
the
strong
foundations
are
the
is
the
financial
operations
it
has
to
be
strong.
So
it
can,
you
know,
grow
and
develop,
and
we
are.
We
are
at
the
point
now
where
we
have
a
strong
foundation
financially,
we
want
to
continue
and
improve
and
build,
but
that's
what
we're
doing
at
the
present
time.
And
then,
when
you
look
at
the
human
resources
area
that
could
be
considered,
you
know
the
roof.
G
If
you
have
a
strong
foundation,
you
want
to
have
a
good
roof,
so
you
can
work
on
other
areas
as
you
need
them,
and
you
know
this
is
a
need
that
the
town
really
needs
to
to
shore
up
with
a
very
strong
personnel
director,
and
fortunately
I
believe
we
have
one
that's
interesting
in
coming
to
the
town
and
with
that
strong
foundation,
a
good
director,
knowledgeable
director
and
then
that
person
can
look
at
things
that
are
just
not
being
done
haven't
been
done.
You
know
some
of
our
personnel
policies.
G
Administrative
procedures
were,
I
think,
adopted
in
2015
have
not
been
reviewed
or
updated.
We
look
back
at
job
descriptions.
Those
have
not
been
reviewed
or
updated
for
many
many
years
and
some
are
very,
very
old
and
we've
been
trying
to
view
them
as
a
vacancy
comes
into
place,
but
that's
something
that's
going
to
be
very
important.
There
are
many
programs
that
haven't
been
done,
that
it
would
be
very
beneficial
to
the
town.
G
You
know,
there's
a
program
that
who
cross
runs?
That's
you
know
it's
a
basically
a
health
management
program
for
doing
things
that
you
know
you
know
we
all
should
do,
there's
an
incentive.
For
example,
you
have
a
program
where
you
know
a
family
or
individual.
G
You
know
for
for
going
to
regular
dental
checkups,
going
for
physicals
going
for
preventive
issues
that
you
know
most
of
us
do,
but
a
lot
don't
and
if
they
meet
certain
criteria
of
going
to
certain
checkups,
you
know
employees
can
receive
a
a
stipend
back.
You
know
for
this
and
again
the
benefit
of
the
town.
Is
you
know
our
employees
are
the
incentive
to
go,
for
you
know
the
regular
required
checkups
that
the
town
you
know
pays
for.
G
But
if
you
go
for
preventive
issues,
you
know
there
can
be
a
reimbursement
to
the
employee.
The
benefits
by
you
know.
If
something
is
amiss
with
an
employee
that
they
may
not
have
gone
well,
you
can
correct
something
or
catch
something
really
early
in
the
process
rather
late.
So
a
lot
of
programs
that
can
be
instituted
that
haven't
a
lot
of
management
items
that
haven't
been
done.
G
You
know
every
a
good
community
has
like
double
checks
on
things
and
you
know,
whereas
we're
working
you
get
very
good
double
checks
in
the
finance
area.
There
aren't
a
lot
of
double
checks
in
the
personnel
area.
G
I
think
we
need
to
improve
upon
that
again
when
you
look
at
the
the
focus
of
what
a
personnel
department
does
you
know
some
of
the
items
that
you
listed
by
could
just
go
on
and
on,
and
you
don't
want
to
draw
it
on,
but
you
know,
starting
from
the
beginning,
you
know
job
analysis,
defining
physician
descriptions,
employee
improvement
and
selection,
training
and
development,
collective
bargaining,
labor
relations,
the
legal
legal
responsibilities
of
the
department.
That
can't
be
overstated,
because
you
know
you
have
to
be
up
to
date
on
all
the
laws.
G
Regulations
changes
you
know
we
just
did
that
with
our
cdl
requirements
that
came
in,
so
we
have
to
be
current
on
our
requirements,
because
we
have
to
do
everything
that
every
other
community
does
big
or
small
and
some
departments
and
many
our
sides
have
more
and
more
staff
than
we
do
so.
G
You
know
we
look
at
the
department
and
we
look
at
priorities.
You
know
if
our
budget
is
43
million
dollars
and
the
personnel
department
is
170.
000
total.
Now
a
lot
of
communities
don't
put
their
entire
cost
of
a
service
to
rent
a
service
in
the
department
I
mean
the
town
has.
So
when
you
look
at
the
police
department,
fire
department,
any
department,
that's
the
total
cost
with
salary
benefits,
health
care,
pension
contributions,
so
the
investment
of
170
000
for
a
43
million
dollar
company.
G
If
you
want
to
look
at
it,
that
way
is
really
minimal
and
I
believe
it's
properly
done
will
result
in
great
benefit
going
back.
You
know
some
of
the
things
that
hadn't
been
done
were
again
as
simple
as
it
could
be,
but
you
know
when
we
send
october
notices
to
send
them
out
on
time.
They
need
to
be
send
out
certified.
Well,
they
weren't
being
sent
out
certified.
They
were
like
emails,
that's
not
good
enough!
Today!
You
know
everything
has
to
be
done
in
twitter
form
and
certified.
G
So
again,
if,
if
the
town's
on
top
of
that
people
are
on
top
of
on
top
of
that,
if
there's
issues
of
employee
harassment
discrimination,
if
they
can
be
jumped
on
right
away
again
again
the
legal
compliance
of
something
like
that
cannot
come
in
really.
The
report
needs
to
do
a
good,
better
job
of
doing
that.
G
I've
been
working
on
that
you
know
part-time,
since
we
have
our
director
had
left
quite
a
while
ago,
and
it
is
very
time
consuming
in
preparation
for
cases
whether
it
be
documentation
for
workers
comp
case.
If
you
want
one
last
one,
but
the
legal
compliance
for
that
unemployment
appeals
for
unemployment.
G
If
there
are
human
rights
complaints,
you
know
presenting
that
to
the
town
for
human
rights,
complaints,
appearances
for
the
state
labor
board,
you
know
a
lot
of
work
and
has
to
be
done
to
get
ready
for
cases
like
that,
so
it
is
time
consuming
and
if
something
isn't
done
just
right
again,
that
tom
could
lose
in
a
case
because
all
of
the
eyes
were
not
dotted
into
his
cross.
So
again,
it's
my
belief,
and
I
appreciate
the
counsel,
including
that
back
in
as
a
full-time
position.
G
So
I
know
you
understand
the
issue
with
that
and
there
has
been
questions
about
a
part-time
person.
You
know,
is
it
needed?
G
The
the
thought
is
if
you
have
a
part-time
person
that
can
be
there
to
take
care
of
the
day-to-day
things
that
are
routine
but
time-consuming,
checking
in
with
blue
cross
about
coverage
or
something
not
covered
and
putting
a
point
on
off
of
coverage
trying
to
answer
their
questions.
G
G
G
And
again,
I
also
will
mention
that
without
a
director,
a
lot
of
the
departments
have
had
to
do
especially
the
bigger
departments,
police
and
fire,
but
had
to
run
their
recruitments
on
their
own,
which
they've
done,
and
you
know
they
do
well.
But
you
know
if
the
town's
personnel
director
can
help
with
that
and
work
with
the
appropriate
person
in
police
and
fire
that
will
free
a
warm
command
staff
officer.
You
know
lieutenant
captain
to
do
other
things.
G
G
So
I
was
looking
at
that
just
reviewing
things
and
really
came
across
a
a
lot
of
very
interesting
ordinances
and
charter
provisions.
Quite
interesting
now,
one
of
the
one
of
the
items
that
have
been
brought
up
at
council
meetings
through
citizens
or
citizens
comments
is
the
appearance
of
the
town.
And,
specifically,
you
know
you
have
buildings
that
are
vacant,
it
could
be
boarded
up.
You
know
some
are
you
know
explainable,
there's
a
fire,
it's
boarded
up,
it's
not
structurally
sound,
but
it's
not
structurally
sound.
G
You
can't
demolish
it,
but
there's
either
insurance
issues
or
proceeds,
but
there's
many
many
buildings
that
are
in
town
that
especially
our
main
thoroughfares
that
are
just
naked
and
some
are
in
various
states
of
repairs.
In
fact,
I
remember
one
president
came
up
and
made
a
very
articulate
comment
about
the
state
of
these
buildings
and
one
that's
located
close
to
the
hall
and
the
roof
they
had.
I
think
there
was
a
vegetation
growing
from
the
roof.
G
You
know,
and
so
again
you
know
remembering
that
going
through
ordinances,
as
I
did,
you
know
there
was
an
ordinance.
That's
on
the
books
called
a
real
estate.
Non-Utilization
tax-
and
you
know
it
was
you
know
quite
interesting.
G
So
when
I
look
at
that
pulled
the
audience
looked
at
the
ordinance
and
there
is
a
provision
where
the
minimum
housing
officer
can
go
out
and
survey
vacant
buildings
that
are
underutilized,
it
could
be
vacant.
Buildings
could
be
buildings
that
you
know,
need
improvement,
but
vacant
buildings
and
upon
that
review
you
know,
criteria
can
be
developed
and
ultimately,
individuals
can
be
taxed
on
their
vacant
buildings.
G
If
they
don't
have
a
a
plan
for
that
building
and
again,
you
know,
there's
a
whole
procedure
set
out
and
if
somebody
has
a
building,
that's
vacant
maybe
needs
a
repair.
G
The
town
could
impose
a
and
I'll
just
read
the
exact
quote:
imposition
of
tax,
the
town
of
west
work
hereby
imposes
a
tax
of
ten
dollars
per
thousand,
an
assessed
value
upon
them
upon
the
privilege
of
utilizing
vacant
and
abandoned
property
within
the
town
during
the
privileged
year,
which
the
first
year
was
january,
1st
2003
and
every
year
afterwards,
and
again,
I'm
not
sure
if
this
was
ever
used.
G
I'm
not
sure
if
members
of
council
recall
this
being
used,
but
it
is
a
possible
method
to
encourage
some
development
or
some
individual
thinking
about
doing
something
with
buildings
and
office
offices
state
buildings
that
are
not
being
utilized
to
their
fullest
potential,
so
a
survey
would
be
done,
criteria
could
be
established,
you
know
the
the
highest
or
best
use
or
for
development
purposes,
and
the
property
owner
will
be
notified
and
they
have
the
ability
to
do
the
process
to
submit
a
plan
for
a
development
that
would
satisfy
any
requirements
of
non-utilization,
and
if
there
isn't,
then
a
tax
could
be
imposed.
G
You
know
for
that
non-utilization
of
vacant
property.
So
again,
looking
at
that.
Well,
you
know
looking
at
those
properties
developing
the
criteria,
that's
pretty
it
could
be
a
pretty
extensive
position
thing
to
do.
It
falls
upon
the
minimum
housing
officer.
Now
you
could
probably
use
two
minimum
housing
officers.
They
could
go
street
by
street
and
just
fill
up
citation
books
in
certain
areas
that
you
know
that,
just
because
of
nature
in
the
area
you
know
multi-family
homes,
residences,
those
type
of
things.
G
You
know
the
type
of
nuisances
that
we
have,
but
so
the
thought
was
well
if
we
could
get
a
intern
that
could
come
in
work
with
the
new
housing
officer,
develop
a
criteria
and
look
at
going
out
and
doing
this
survey
and
then,
following
up
on
the
steps
necessary
to
you,
know,
approach
the
property
owners
and
let
them
know
about
the
the
ordinance
and
their
property
has
been
identified
as
the
immediate
property
needed
in
need
of
utilization,
and
you
know
see
what
happens
and
at
minimum
at
least
people
would
know
that
you
know
there
is
an
ordinance
about
the
non-utilization
and
you
know
there
could
be
a
fighting
pose
a
tax
impose,
or
maybe
some
people
may
get
the
opportunity
to
think
about
developing
their
property.
G
You
know
that
they
may
not
have
so
again.
This
is
an
existing
ordinance.
It's
in
place
and
for
again
a
maybe
a
small
investment.
We
can
start
to
process
to
look
at
a
way
that
we
currently
have
to
improve
the
vacant
buildings
that
we
have
and
as
a
result
of
some
of
the
feedback
that
has
been
given
to
me.
G
You
know,
through
the
emails
I
receive,
I'm
sure,
council,
members
and
various
department
heads
in
the
area
receive
those
emails
about
building
structures
needing
improvement,
and
it
seems
like
something
that
would
be
worth
moving
on.
Trying
for
a
small
investment.
D
Ernie,
why
would
that
be
placed
in
your
budget
instead
of
the
building
official
budget.
G
I
thought
this
would
be
something
that
I
would
do
just
it
could
be
any
budget
I
could
do
because
I
would
probably
be
the
best
at
that
contacting
various
colleges
and
universities
for
these
different
types
of
programs
to
make
those
introductions,
but
it
could
have
been
any
budget.
No,
no
special
needs.
C
G
Yeah
I'll
just
make
a
few
introductory
comments,
and
you
know
don
can
can
take
it
from
there
again
this
this
budget,
two
budgets
really
have
been
sort
of
reworked
with
the
passage
and
approval
of
the
collective
bargaining
agreement
with
our
council
94
our
local
union.
G
G
You
know
this
department
has
done.
You
know
lots
of
things
and
you
know
yard
waste
is
in
particular,
which
again
is
a
big
issue
in
our
community
in
every
community.
So,
with
the
contract
expiring,
with
our
sanitation
company
mega
limited,
the
current
cost
included
a
lease
payment
for
these
totes
or
the
big
bins.
You
know
that
you
see
that
the
one
armed
trucks
will
take,
for
you,
know
the
solid
waste
and
recycling
so
that
was
paid
off
so
going
into
the
new
fiscal
year.
G
There
is
a
a
amount
coming
off
of
that
of
maybe
217
000,
something
like
that
off
the
expense
so
going
in.
We
could
have
a
new
contract
with
them
or
someone
else
and
less
money,
because
we
have
bins
in
place
but
again,
looking
at
some
of
the
issues
that
have
confronted
the
town
and
again,
some
recurring
themes
about
work.
G
That's
you
know
done,
but
you
know,
maybe
you
know
not
as
fast
as
we
want,
or
something
comes
up
with
a
priority
shadow,
so
yara
waste
or
bulk
waste,
or
something
like
that.
So
with
this
opportunity
we
were
approached
by
a
competitor
asking.
You
know
when
you
go
out
to
bed
and
say
well
we're
thinking
about
it.
So
of
course,
then
we
approach
our
current
vendor
and
say:
hey.
What
can
you
do
for
us?
Can
you
help
us?
We
have
various
needs
that
you
know
we're
doing
that.
You
know.
G
G
So
so
we
just
talked
about
it
and
they
agreed
that
they
could
do
guard
ways
for
us.
So
we
went
back
and
forth
with
that
and
we
went
back
and
forth
with
ball
pickup
as
well,
but
we
agreed
that
that
function
may
be
better
kept
in
house.
So
we
agreed
to
do
that.
So
in
our
discussions
with
our
current
company
doing
our
solid
waste,
we
have
reached
a
tentative
agreement.
Fuel
subject
to
council
approval
ratification
where
our
crew
will.
G
You
know
they
would
be
enjoying
first
picking
up
yard
waste
along
with
solid
waste
and
recycling
which
they
do
for
many
communities.
But
our
crews
will
be
using
that
time,
which
is
quite
not
a
quite
successful
amount
of
time
to
do
other
projects,
so
that
was
a
way
to
improve
the
services
that
are
delivered
to
the
our
public,
our
constituents,
the
public,
our
users.
G
So
with
that,
so
we're
hopeful
that
once
we
get
fully
implemented
with
the
confines
of
the
changes
in
the
contract,
we'll
have
be
able
to
have
work,
crews
or
crews
that
can
be
utilized
for
construction
and
then
a
work
crew
that
could
be
utilized
to
do
the
important
things.
Other
things
such
as
you
know,
auto
repair,
you
know
other
things
that
need
to
be
done
so
quickly.
Ultimately,
you
know
the
vision
is
at
some
point,
having
three
fully
staffed,
fully
staffed
department
with
three
crews,
two
construction
and
want
to
do
everything.
G
So
that's
the
vision
and
with
division
we
increased
the
equipment,
operator's
position
to
increase
it
from
one
to
two
and
move
on
improving
fulfilling
our
labor's
positions,
because
now
we
have
the
ability
to
recruit
employees
as
laborers,
with
the
ability
to
get
a
cdl
not
required,
because
what
we
found
is
you
know
a
lot
of
individuals
applying
for
jobs
as
for
cdl
required,
even
if
the
laborer
felt
that
they're
going
to
be
driving
most
of
the
time-
and
that's
not
the
case,
most
of
the
cases
is
going
to
be
entry
level
work.
G
That's
going
to
be
done,
for
you
know,
heavy
work
you
know
requirement
is
to
lift
80
pounds
so
with
the
with
the
ability
to
recruit
those
individuals-
and
I
hate
to
say
it
with
the
economy.
The
way
it
is,
you
know
we
will
sure
get
very
good
qualified
applicants
that
want
to
work
for
the
town,
for
hopefully,
security
and
benefits.
G
So
you
know
so
the
vision
is
to
improve
our
services
and
one
of
the
biggest
areas
is
of
our
department
focus
on
on
more
talent,
related
things
that
will
be
a
benefit
to
the
community.
So
that's
the
sanitation.
So
even
though
it's
the
same
amount
close
to
the
same
amount,
we're
going
to
be
getting
the
ability
to
do
more
work
there
and
then
we'll
also
mention
another
personnel
change.
Was
we
had
a
vacant
mechanics
position
and
we
tried
recruiting
for
a
mechanic.
G
So
because
of
that
fact,
we
are
recommending
that
the
mechanics
aid
be
created.
That
can
do
a
lot
of
work,
but
nothing
that
a
certified,
but
not
a
certified
mechanics
worker
that
has
certifications.
But
somebody
who
has
the
mechanical
ability
the
ability
to
learn
and
wants
to
learn.
It
can
be
an
asset
to
the
mechanics,
helping
you
know
and
also
a
person
that
can
be
trained
to.
G
G
Ultimately,
if
somebody
works
out
really
really
well
at
a
certain
point
in
time,
the
position
for
mechanic
8
could
be
upgraded
to
a
full-blown
mechanic,
because
our
mechanic
department
does
a
great
job.
They
are
fantastic.
I
mean
they
have
a
a
mindset
of
you
know.
When
equipment
comes
in,
it
has
to
be
repaired,
it
has
to
be
repaired
quickly
and
correctly.
G
So
when
you
have
the
public
safety
vehicles,
police
fire
fire
apparatus,
they
do
a
lot
of
their
own
work
rescues.
They
have
to
get
in
and
out
quickly.
So
the
mechanics
department
is
does
a
great
job,
and
this
physician
would
obviously
augment
that
and
ultimately,
if
somebody
is
a
really
good
good
writer
to
learn
ultimately
maybe
work
into
the
mechanics
position.
G
So
those
were,
I
believe,
the
major
changes
and
then
don
can
discuss.
You
know
what
you
know
basically
his
observations
since
being
here
since
december,
and
you
know
what
his
vision
would
be
and
then,
as
I've
always
said,
to
directors.
Clearly,
if
there's
something
that
has
been
cut
from
the
budget,
you
know
I
I
always
give
the
directors
the
ability
to
you
know
if
they
fill
a
very
passionate
issue,
so
we
need
to
bring
that
forward.
I'd
rather
have
them.
G
Do
that
and
you
know,
go
you
know
in
some
other
fashion
and
with
that
some
of
the
also
mentioned
some
of
the
requests
that
were
made,
I
think,
can
be
dealt
with
through
a
capital
program,
because
in
this
budget
also,
we
can
talk
about
some
of
the
capital,
improvements
and
equipment
that
we
propose
that
would
be
acquired.
G
That
would
be
department
of
public
works
related
because,
again,
part
of
the
vision
is,
if
you,
if
you
want
people
to
do
a
good
job,
they
need
training
and
they
need
equipment
and
some
of
our
equipment,
you
know,
needs
to
be
replaced
and
we've
had
we've
gone
and
we've
gone
without
a
piece
of
equipment.
That's
been
valuable,
you
know,
you
know
that
you
know
we
propose
to
replace
with
the
lease
and
again
I
hate
to
say,
but
you
know
there
was
the
thought:
okay.
Well,
let's
just
go
and
buy
one.
G
Now
and
again
I
understand
it
because
that's
the
way
it
used
to
be
and
that
that's
a
very
good
method.
If
you
have
a
lot
of
money
in
the
bank,
but
you
get
fiscal
discipline
says
well,
we
can't
go
out
and
buy
this
right
now,
let's
budget
it
maybe
let's
hope
to
release,
and
can
we
borrow
a
piece
of
equipment
from
another
community
that
can
help?
G
Can
a
outside
vendor
help
do
the
work
and
because
we
just
don't
have
the
funds
so
there's
some
equipment
that
I'll
mention
is
going
to
be
in
part
of
the
lease
we're
proposing
and
as
well
as
you
know,
at
some
point
you
know
the
a
road
road,
a
transportation
improvement
bond
where
we
can
do
road
work
and
drainage
and
sidewalks
and
that
repair.
G
So
one
of
the
items
that
the
director
mentioned
and,
as
I
agree
with
completely,
is
you
know,
assessment
of
the
roads
conditions
and
how
they
you
know.
What
is
the
worst
you
know,
get
that
type
of
data
and
something
like
that
would
be
an
eligible
expense
for
a
transportation
road
improvement
bond,
so
that
could
be
covered
under
that
if
and
when
we
make
that
movement
to
do
that.
G
But
again,
at
this
point
don,
if
you
could,
you
know,
give
your
observations
and
your
observations
about
the
budget.
Oh
one
more
minute,
one
more
thing,
I'll
mention
one
more
thing
this
budget
is
going
to
be
underspent
significantly
depends
on
investment
between
seven
and
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars.
G
Based
on
the
assumptions,
I
think
about
a
half,
a
million
of
that
is
personnel
services
related
because,
of
course,
you
know
we
haven't,
had
the
ability
to
hire
the
employees
for
various
reasons
and
then
the
rest
is
either
in
commodities
things
you
need
to
work
or
services
that
you
don't
provide
for
yourself,
but
you
know
we'll
hire
out
for
striping
and
services
like
that.
So
I'll
get
finally
I'll
review
myself
and
don
and
you
can
take
over.
E
Okay,
I'm
unmuted.
Now
I
I
agree
with
everything.
Ernie
said
we're.
We
had
one
cut
that
we
talked
about
this
morning,
which
was
the
winter
needs
and
whenever
you
cut
the
snow
budget,
look
out
for
the
next
winter
because
it
comes
back
in
with
fury,
but
that's
one
of
those
line
items
that
I
think
everybody
understands
that
if
we
spend
more
than
150
000
next
year,
you
know
I
can
always
come
back
and
and
talk
to
the
council
talk
to
the
town
manager.
E
So
without
understanding
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
that
and
we've
done
a
couple
of
things
without
winter
methods
we're
not
using
sand
anymore.
So
that's
an
immediate
savings
of
not
putting
sand
down
it's
more
effective.
It
actually
saves
on
salt.
So
you
save
a
little
bit
on
salt
and
it's
a
tremendous
savings
on
the
cleanup
other
than
that.
On
the.
E
If
you
look
at
my
budget
you'll
see,
I
had
three
line
items
that
I
added
that
were
not
funded
this
year,
but
I
also
understand
the
extraordinary
circumstances
that
we're
under,
but
at
some
point,
if
we
do
a
supplemental
budget,
a
preventative
maintenance
plan
and
preventative
maintenance
program
ought
to
be
instituted
as
well
as
catch
basin,
cleaning
and
sidewalk
repair.
Once
we
resolve
that
ordinance,
the
biggest
problem
we
have
right
now
is
we're
even
down
four
people.
E
From
last
year
I
can
barely
put
out
two
crews
and
that's
not
enough
to
get
everything
done,
that
you
would
like
to
get
done.
We
are
doing
yard
waste
right
now.
We've
got
about
10
percent
of
the
city.
We've
made
one
pass,
we're
going
to
be
working
in
the
natick
area
and
there
should
have
been
a
code
red
put
out
today
for
that
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
drive
on
that
and
new
london
avenue.
We
should
have
all
the
binder
down
tomorrow,
so
maybe
I'll
get
some
of
my
crew
time
back.
A
Just
going
back
to
trash
yard
waste
bernie,
I
I
heard
you
talking
about
going
out
to
bid.
Are
we
gonna
be
going
out
to
bid?
Are
we
looking
to
extend
the
contract.
G
We'll
be
looking
to
extend
the
contract
in
our
discussions
with
mega.
We
believe
they've
done
a
good
job.
We
were
approached
by
another
company.
That
said,
you
know,
you
know
our.
You
know
if
you
were
to
admit
it,
our
cost
would
be
more
than
our
competitors
because
we,
you
know,
do
a
better
job.
G
But
again
the
plan
would
be
is
to
extend
a
contract
with
a
current
provider
mega
and
then
july
1st.
They
would
begin
the
yard
waste
yard
waste.
Pickup
now
I
believe,
have
to
go
back.
You
know
they're
going
to
give
us
so
many
weeks
of
of
service.
So
at
that
point
then
you
know
the
department
can
look
with
you
know.
We
have
consultation,
certainly
with
the
council,
because
this
is
a
major
issue,
but
it
seems
like
there
are
times
where
the
work
is
very
heavy
compared
to
other
times.
G
So
I
can
have
the
work
done.
You
know
you
know
weekly
when
it's
really
heavy
in
the
beginning
and
end
a
little
bit
less
in
the
middle
to
stretch
that
out,
but
the
the
intent
is
is
to
recommend
to
the
council
an
extension
for
a
current
contract.
With
a
current
provider,
I've
asked
the
director
of
public
works
and
the
account
solicitor
to
work
with
our
current
provider
to
develop
the
language
of
a
contract
and
then
submit
that
to
me
and
then
we'd
be
submitting
that
to
the
council.
G
D
E
I
believe
it
is
just
the
timing
thing
when
I
did
my
analysis
this
morning.
It
shows
the
75
000
under,
but
as
you
look
at
what
the
quarterly
bills
are,
I'm
afraid
that
that's
not
going
to
happen,
so
I
think
you're
going
to
find
that
we're
going
to
be
right
on
budget.
G
And
I
would
like
to
to
mention
something
while,
while
don's
here
in
our
in
our
budget
we're
proposing
to
release
a
number
of
pieces
of
equipment
and
one
is
going
to
be
the
rescue
that
the
council
has
approved
and
the
funding
for
that
would
come
from
the
official
account
for
the
rescue
service
billing,
and
I
will
say
this
is
a
a
phenomenal
process
that
the
town
has
the
individuals
who
recommended
that
and
the
council
that
put
that
in
place.
G
It
was
really
to
be
commended
because
most
communities
don't
have
this
and
it's
pay-as-you-go
or
leases,
and
I
will
tell
you
that
the
equipment
that
the
town
has
in
public
safety
is
really
very
good,
and
I
think
the
part
of
that
is
this
week's
program
where
you
can
lease
out
the
equipment
pay
it
back.
You
know
through
the
week's
program
and
then
more
money
comes
in
each
year.
So,
as
you
pay
off
the
lease
you
can
at
least
another
one.
G
It
is
really
truly
something
that
I
think
most
leaders
would
love
to
have,
but
they
don't
and
I
think
they
look
at
our
equipment.
As
you
know,
I
wish
we
could
do
that.
So
that's
very,
very
important
that
that
you
know
they
have
good
equipment
and
that's
one
of
them
and
if
you
could
just
just
mention
quickly
the
equipment
that
is
under
the
would
be
under
the
lease
and
kristen
you
have
the
the
list
of
them
correct
yep.
I
have.
D
It
so
under
the
equipment
lease
would
be
the
six-wheel
dump
truck
the
mid-sized
front,
loader
the
hook,
lift
the
mini
excavator,
the
flail
mower,
the
6x8
trailer,
and
to
get
the
most
bang
from
our
buck.
We
would
put
the
new
rescue
in
that
lease
and
then
apportion
out
the
rescues
portion
of
the
lease
payment
will
come
out
of
the
rescue
funds.
G
D
By
so
that,
with
the
estimated
cost
that
we
had,
it
would
be
a
920
000
lease
based
on
seven
years
at
maybe
three
percent.
The
rescue
fund
would
be
about
55
000
a
year
and
the
it
would
be
about
94
000
ish
for
additional
lease
payment
for
the
general
fund.
G
Okay,
so
again,
for
that
amount,
the
type
of
equipment
that
would
be
coming
in
to
help
the
provider
department
and
equipment
to
do
their
jobs
and
the
fire
department
to
do
theirs.
The
rescue,
because
that
is
very
rescues,
go
take
a
lot
of
use.
You
know,
so
it
seems
like
a
very
good
investment
to.
D
Make
but
I
think,
actually
that's
a
great
way
to
do
it.
It
makes
sense.
I
noticed
that
on
the
capital
budget
worksheet
that
you
you
provided
to
us
kristin,
there
were
a
couple
of
other
things
under
dpw
and
this
assault
shed.
I
thought
we
had
approved
previously
this
year
so
when
he
gave
me
his
budget
when
I
got
his
budget,
it
was
january.
D
So,
okay,
he
hadn't
even
come
up
with
that
idea.
Yet,
okay,
so
so
so
so
some
of
these
things,
it's
it's
an
older
version.
Okay,
all
right!
Thank
you
department
request
and
then
you
know
once
we
got
to
the
manager,
we
knew
we
didn't
need
that,
so
it
wasn't
funded.
Okay.
You
know
I
didn't
move
on
to
manager.
A
C
G
We
are
keeping
that
department
up,
whereas
the
standard
allocation
of
resources
would
be
a
supervisor
and
two
laborers
maintenance
workers
that
come
from
public
works
for
about
a
little
over
half
nine
months
out
of
the
year
and
are
dedicated
to
recreation.
G
So
what
now
we
have
is
a
recreation
department
that
will
have
actually
the
supervisor
in
three
laborers
and
with
when
to
be
hired.
So
with
that
workforce,
it
is
anticipated
and
expected
that
the
type
of
the
work
that
can
get
done
in
that
area-
you
know
in
recreation
fields,
the
parks,
the
fields,
recreation
areas
and
other
areas
of
the
town.
It
can
get
done
maintained
the
way
people
remember
it
a
few
years
ago.
G
So
our
goal
and
objective
is
to
improve
the
services
there
and
to
allocate
enough
resources,
personnel
to
get
those
jobs
done
and
then
to
have
the
ability
to
move
some
into.
You
know
move
some
employees
around
between
public
works
and
recreation
as
needed.
G
You
know
when
the
situation
arises,
so
we're
hopeful
and
again
as
we
move
forward,
we'll
see
how
the
new
structure
works.
But
again
the
goal
is
what
we've
tried
to
do
throughout
the
budget
is
improve
the
way
we
do
things
to
improve
the
services
that
the
public
has
the
end
user,
and
this
was
a
major
area
of
that
and
again
with
more
staffing,
we
reduced
the
overtime
because
hopefully
there'll
be
less
need
for
overtime
and
with
the
ability
to
approve
vacation
times
and
management
structure
there.
G
Hopefully
we'll
have
the
staff
available.
That
will
be
there
to
do
their
job
at
when
the
job
needs
to
be
done,
and
with
that
again
we
are
on.
We
are
projecting
to
go
under
budget
with
that
department,
maybe
about
four
or
forty
thousand
dollars,
or
something
like
that
and
again,
as
we
move
forward,
we
may
take
a
look
at
the
need
to
you
know:
maybe
some
part-time
positions
again.
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
you
know
when
the
governor
is
looking
to
reopen
the
economy.
We
open
businesses.
G
G
We
have
positions
that
we
need
to
review
job
descriptions
and
recruit,
for
which
we
intend
to
do,
but
we
also
have
to
be
mindful
of
where
we
are
at
the
at
this
point
in
time
in
in
you
know,
we
have
regular
calls
with
our
the
league
of
cities
and
towns
who
represents
the
municipalities,
and
so
when
we're
in
these
calls
that
we
discuss
these
issues
with
you
know
our
peers,
and
you
know
many.
G
So
you
know,
as
we
look
toward
moving
forward,
we
have
to
look
at
our
where
we
are
where
we
think
our
fiscal
condition
is
now.
I
will
say
that
again,
you
know
the
current
budget
and
we
always
looked
at
where
we
are
currently
as
a
barometer
of
where
we're
going
and
we
have
made
changes
in
projections
when
we
made
the
original
projection.
Before
this
happened.
G
You
know
we
were
estimating
because
of
vacancies
and
other
issues
in
a
good
economy,
because
when
you
have
a
good
economy,
you
know
your
taxes
aren't
paid
your
prior
years
are
paid.
You
have
less
funds,
for
you
know
tax
sales.
You
have
increases
in
realty
taxes,
because
people
are
buying
and
selling
real
estate.
You
know
people
go
out
to
dinner
more,
so
your
taxes
or
meals
are
up.
You
know
hotel
taxes,
you
know,
that's
not
big
for
us,
but
in
some
cases
it's
really
big
newport
providence.
G
G
G
Less
building
going
on,
you
know
less
meal
tax,
less
hotel
tax,
which
is
natural.
You
know
the
property
taxes.
Those
were
going
on
very
well
and
at
this
point
maybe
something
like
three
million
needs
to
be
received
between
now
and
into
the
fiscal
year
which
you
know
is
doable.
G
You
know
you
know
the
the
we
canceled
the
tax
sale,
but
if
we
hold
that
you
know
before
the
end
of
august,
those
proceeds
can
be
put
back
into
the
prior
fiscal
year
because
of
the
accounting
in
their
60-day
rule.
G
So
I
mean
that's,
you
know
reasonable,
so
you
know
we
think
we'll
end
the
year
in
a
favorable
balance
which
is
good
and
so
we're
not
in
the
pressure
that
some
communities
are
that
are
so
close
that
they
have
to
take
immediate
action,
and
I
guess
it's
because
of
you
know
the
the
the
budgeting
principles
and
fundamentals
we
we
do
is
conservative
nature.
So
that's
going
to
help
us
this
year
and
hopefully
help
us
in
years
to
come.
G
So
and
then
the
big
issue
is
state
revenue.
Now
I
never
knew
this.
This
law
existed,
but
if
the
state
revenue,
if
the
state
doesn't
have
a
budget
in
place
and
kristin
you're
on
calls
with
finance
directors,
so
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
please
do
that.
If
the
state
doesn't
have
a
budget
in
place,
they
are
to
remit.
C
Yeah,
but
would
that
would
that
the
state
of
emergency
when
we
get
to
june
30th
or
or
when
they
do
in
the
budget?
Because
I
mean
we
might
not
be
in
a
state
of
emergency
by
june
30th.
D
I
would
have
to
reread
the
law,
but
it
it's
been
mentioned
a
couple
of
times
in
the
in
the
finance
director's
calls
that
you
know
that
is
a
possibility,
but
everything
is
everything's
still
up
in
the
air
yeah.
C
D
F
G
That
really
creates
a
pressing
need,
depending
on
how
long
a
state
budget
can
be
or
a
local
budget
can
be
adopted,
so
our
fund
balance
has
increased,
but
by
no
means
it's
where,
where
it
should
be.
So
as
we
move
forward
ernie
our
budget,
you
know
we
need
to
think
of
being
mindful
of
of
of
the
things
that
may
come
up
very
shortly.
A
Ernie,
I
just
want
to
point
out.
We
are
on
parks
and
rec.
I
think
we
should
save
this
for
revenue
and
expenditure
portion,
okay,
any
questions
on
parks
and
rec.
A
I
only
have
myself,
you
know
a
couple
of
things
that
I'm
looking
at
on
the
budget
bernie,
you
said
the
part-timers,
you
were
looking
at
this
year.
I
already
know
all
the
leagues
have
pretty
much
canceled
their
spring
ball,
softball
baseball,
so
I
I
don't
and
obviously
high
school
and
middle
school
has
caught
the
sports,
so
they
won't
be
having
to
take
care
of
the
fields
as
much
per
se
making
sure
they
cut.
You
know
pregame
and
lined
and
whatever.
A
So
I
I
personally
am
expecting
a
lot
more
to
get
done
as
far
as
like
flight
path
and
whatever
and
again,
I'm
not
running
the
department,
so
I'm
not
going
to
micromanage,
but
I
know
also
I.
I
also
know
that
we
also
agreed
to
a
full-time
secretary.
G
G
Yeah
we've
got
some
thoughts
and
ideas,
but
now,
at
this
point
is
where
we're
going
to
be
now
looking
at.
You
know
the
overall
needs
of
the
town
to
see
where
that
type
of
position
can
fit
in.
So
that
would
be
something
that
we
would
be
looking
at
sooner
than
later,
because
that
has
to
be
into
effect
before
july
1st,
and
because
because
this
is
where
the
recreation-
you
know
it's
budgetary
for
july
1st,
but
we
need
to
have
somebody
move.
You
know
to
their.
G
You
know
new
department,
or
at
least
get
ready
to
move
that
so
that's
that's
sort
of
on
the
radar
as
a
sooner
than
later,
the
ultimate
program
will
work
if
we're
fully
staffed.
That's
the
goal
is
to
be
fully
staffed
to
move
toward
that,
but
you
also
have
to
look
at
you
know
fiscally
the
way
of
the
land,
and
you
know
some
of
the
coming
back
from
the
shutdown.
You
know-
and
you
know
so
we'll
be
talking
about
that.
G
You
know
the
staffing
in
place
or
start
to
to
get
more
staffing
in
place,
and
I
agree
I
think
you
know
we
should
be
able
to
maintain
our
facilities
that
we
need
to
maintain,
but
there's
some
areas
that
we
also
need
to
look
at.
G
G
You
know
how
the
town
looks,
certainly
images-
and
I
think
that
starts
with
the
town
first
and
we
have
to
maintain
what
we
have
to
show
that
you
know
you
know
set
the
example,
so
hopefully,
through
these
measures,
where
we
can
have
our
facilities
looking
very
well-
and
you
know,
as
an
encouragement
to
others
to
do
that,
and
the
upcoming
budget
doesn't
have
any
money
for
part
time,
but
we
have
some,
I
think,
left
over.
We
have
something
for
this
year.
If
we
need
to
get
you
know,
maybe
some
people.
C
I
What
is
we
have?
Eighty
thousand
dollars
say
if
I'm
reading
the
right
budget,
eighty
thousand
dollars
set
for
supplies
and
expenses,
what
what
types
of
supplies
and
expenses
are
in
this
line.
E
You've
got
a
whole
host
of
them.
This
is
done
back
being
unmuted,
but
the
for
example.
We
went
up
to
one
of
the
playgrounds
and
we
rebuilt
the
boxes
around
it.
We've
replaced
swings.
We
do
fertilizer,
we
do
plugging
we
do
line,
we
do
seating.
E
E
E
Honest
with
you,
I
don't
think
I've
looked
at
a
bench
or
a
picnic
table,
including
in
front
of
the
town
hall,
that
shouldn't
be
ripped
out
and
replaced
they're
all
dilapidated,
and
I
think
that
most
of
them
are
beyond
repair.
And
you
can
carry
that
one
step
further,
even
bleachers
which
don't
meet
ada
or
they're.
The
old
wooden
bleachers.
E
E
If
you
take
a
look
at
any
of
the
playgrounds,
they
have
been
cleaned
up.
They've
we
bought
270
cubic
yards
of
mulch
and
they've
all
been
re.
All
the
playgrounds
have
been
re-mulched.
The
old
stuff
was
pulled
out
because
it
had
been
there
for
years,
and
so
I
think
we're
doing
pretty
good
in
that.
But
I've
only
got
two
guys
in
that
department
right
now
and
I've
only
got
we've
we're
only
getting
one
or
two
work
days
a
week
because
of
the
weather.
I
I'll
tell
you,
I
know
I
complained
quite
a
bit
over
the
last
four
or
five
months
of
across
the
ground
and
it
looks
fantastic.
So
I
want
to
give
you
a
lot
of
credit.
You
guys.
I
know
there
was
an
entire
work
crew
there
for
days,
but
but
it
looks
fantastic
and
that's
what
it
should
look
like
and
it
shouldn't
have
gone
that
far,
but
it's
it.
But
it
looks
great.
E
I
can't
say
anything
about
the
past.
I
can
just
say
in
the
future
we're
going
to
try
to
do
it
a
little
bit
a
lot
better.
Actually,
but
again,
the
manpower
is
just
the
key,
and
I
just
noticed
we
don't
have
the
part-time
wages.
I'm
not
sure
why
that
wasn't
put
in,
and
I
also
think
going
from
30
000
down
to
2
000
for
overtime
is
a
little
bit
over
over
the
top.
I
really
think
that
ought
to
be
at
least
5
000.
To
give
me
some
flexibility
due
to
weather.
A
All
right,
we
can
keep
that
in
mind
and
if
you
want
to
send
us
a
request
via
email
or
whatever,
and
then
we
give.
E
A
A
record
for
the
public
hearing
also.
E
C
A
C
A
What
I'm
saying
I
think
we
have
to
adjourn
this
meeting.
Don't
hang
up
on
here,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
you
can
stay
here,
we're
going
to
adjourn
and
then
so
we
can
do
it
again
and
reconvene
for
granicus
for
the
civic
center
budget.
