2026-10-19 - City Council

01:10Good evening.

01:13It is 5:00 and the Warwick City Council

01:17Finance Committee is come to order. You

01:20have your pen, please.

01:23Thank you very much.

01:26The first order of business is

01:28acceptance of minutes from committee

01:29meeting held on October 5th. Do we have

01:32a motion?

01:36>> Motion to accept the minutes.

01:38>> Second.

01:39>> All in favor?

01:40>> I.

01:41>> Thank you. PCR14-26

01:44resolution relative to bids. First order

01:47of business, acceptance of minutes from

01:49committee meeting held on October 5th.

01:51Do we have a motion?

01:52>> Motion to accept the minutes. Second.

01:55>> All in favor?

01:56>> I.

01:56>> All right.

01:57>> All right. A unique circumstance. There

02:00is no bid over the threshold of $50,000.

02:05So, the first thing we will do is ask

02:07the committee members. Are there any

02:09that they wish to have pulled? Uh we'll

02:12start with uh the senior member. That

02:14would be me, but I'll skip. Mr. Mudo,

02:17you first.

02:19Councilman Mudo.

02:22uh like to uh do several uh 2027 218

02:29fire hose service testing

02:312027 209 snowplow blades 2027 216

02:39the full face scuba mask

02:5170B overhead door repair

02:54and 2027-241

02:57repairs to 938M front end loader.

03:03>> Councilman Nappa, do you have any

03:05others?

03:06>> No, I was going to pull three and seven,

03:08but Council Mut pulled those already.

03:10>> All right. Well, then we will go in

03:13order. Uh the first 2027 218 fire hose

03:18service testing

03:24Yeah.

03:27>> Good evening, Assistant Chief Manhower

03:28from the Fire Department.

03:31>> Hi, Chief.

03:33>> Hey, Chief. [laughter]

03:36>> This is brutal. Uh so just give give a

03:40quick overview of uh what this is for

03:44and how did you determine between the

03:47two biders with one variable cost and

03:49one variable with a um with a daily

03:52charge.

03:53>> Yes. So uh fire service hose testing is

03:55required annually by NFPA. Uh basically

03:58what they do is they take each of uh

04:00pieces of hose. They bring it up to the

04:02rated pressure uh from the manufacturer,

04:05hold it and then inspect the hose for

04:07any damage or anything that's done to

04:09the hose. So it ensures us on an annual

04:11basis that the hose won't uh fail during

04:13a fire. Uh so it's required annually. Uh

04:16we have about 53,000 feet of hose. Uh

04:20the two biders uh one was

04:23[clears throat] cheaper like you were

04:24mentioning but had a mobilization fee.

04:27Uh the other one was a little more

04:28expensive with no mobilization fee. But

04:30if you just multiply the 53,000 it's

04:32about five days of testing that they

04:35typically do. Uh I went for six just in

04:38case there was an extra day. If you

04:39multiply that out uh by the 53,000 ft,

04:43uh the J uh JLN Associates top rung

04:46inspection winds up being the cheaper uh

04:49at about for six days with 53,000 ft of

04:51hose, it comes to about $19,358

04:55per year annually.

04:58>> And that leads to the next question.

05:01This is for two years.

05:02>> Two-year bid.

05:03>> Yes.

05:03>> So we're looking for 40 over two years.

05:05>> Yeah.

05:06>> Uh I want to say that was an excellent

05:08answer. Thank you. That was uh exactly

05:10where I was going for is uh with the uh

05:13the length of the the hose that we have.

05:16Uh and comparing this to last year's

05:21cost.

05:24I don't have last year's in front of me.

05:26Uh

05:28I believe I don't know what the price

05:30was last year. Actually, we're doing it

05:32right now. We're actually doing our

05:33round of host testing for this fiscal

05:35year right now. And I haven't got that

05:36invoice yet. So,

05:37>> okay. Uh but last year we spent in the

05:41first section for for the first year of

05:43the two years we spent uh $16,500

05:47last year for that amount of hose. So it

05:49was less expensive per foot last year.

05:51>> Okay. Uh as far as when you run these

05:55through uh the testing, how do you have

05:59an estimate about how many feet get they

06:03fail and usually what what that uh

06:05breaks down to? All all of our hose was

06:08replaced about four or five years ago by

06:09a federal grant. Uh so almost all of it

06:12is brand new. Uh so we have maybe I

06:15would say half a dozen lengths that fail

06:16every year. Uh usually that's a the

06:19coupling on the end pulling off. It

06:20pulls away from the hose more. There's a

06:22minimum amount that it's allowed to pull

06:24away and if it pulls past that they have

06:26to fail the whole hose or recoup it.

06:28>> Great.

06:34I believe you answered all my questions.

06:36Any other questions?

06:39>> Any questions from the committee? Any

06:42questions from the council? Any

06:44questions from the public? Questions

06:47from the public? Questions from the

06:50public? Seeing none, we'll move on to

06:51item two, 2027 209.

07:13We wanted your full attention.

07:14>> I got it.

07:16>> I can multitask.

07:18>> All right. Hi Christie.

07:19>> Hi.

07:20>> Uh

07:22let's do the same approach. give a quick

07:24overview and um how did we come up with

07:27the the pricing?

07:32>> This is a a new bid award for snowplow

07:35blades and um we historically have asked

07:39for $30,000. Um, it comes out of 65258

07:43and you know it's based on our usage,

07:47>> you know, but every winter is different.

07:50So we could we could need significantly

07:52more or we may not spend all $30,000.

07:57>> So considering this most recent year and

08:01the year before, typically how many

08:03bleeds does the city go through?

08:06>> Well, that all depends on the the storm.

08:09It depends on

08:11it depends on how they're used. Um, you

08:15know, if it hits a a manhole cover and

08:18breaks or when they get worn down. Um,

08:22it there's no there's no definitive

08:25number on how many we use.

08:27>> No, the question was how many did we use

08:29this year compared to and also last

08:32year?

08:32>> I don't have that information.

08:33>> You don't have that information. Okay.

08:41And you say this is a new bid or is do

08:43we usually test our blades?

08:46>> No, we don't test our blades.

08:47>> Okay.

08:55Is there any um any service fees or I'm

08:59sorry, not service fees, uh delivery

09:02fees for the blades?

09:03>> No.

09:03>> No. Okay.

09:06And the bid refers to other use. Uh, can

09:10you describe what that other use is?

09:13>> Other use.

09:15I'm not entirely sure what you're

09:17referring to.

09:18>> In the bid reference, there's a line

09:21that says other use.

09:24I can pull it out.

09:53>> [snorts]

09:54>> I'll come back to that one. Um

10:00the uh specifications

10:02were left as um generic. Uh do we have

10:08any uh manufacturers that we prefer?

10:13>> I don't I don't understand what you mean

10:15by generic. Their snowplow blades are

10:18different sizes. They have different uh

10:21highway standard hole punch. They're

10:23made of steel. They

10:27>> No, the question is uh the brand name in

10:29in the past you've

10:31>> there is no brand name

10:35>> okay

10:41right now that's all questions I have it

10:43>> any other questions from the committee

10:46council

10:48any questions from the public questions

10:50from the public questions from the

10:54Seeing none, moving on. I'm going to

10:56defer. This is an item that Councilman

10:59Nappa also was going to ask to be

11:01pulled. So, Councilman Napper, you're

11:03first up.

11:07>> Commander, if you would,

11:09uh, this is yours for the full face

11:10scuba mass. So, I just wanted to ask a

11:13couple of questions on this um to get

11:16this on the record. You and I had this

11:17discussion just prior to the meeting. Um

11:20so currently my understanding is that we

11:21are using full face masks with some um

11:25remote communication technology and that

11:28that sort of falters and is not very

11:30reliable. Is that my understanding?

11:31>> Uh good evening Councilman Robert Hart

11:32for the police department. Uh yes, we

11:34are currently using this brand fullace

11:37mask. When we originally purchased a few

11:39of them a few years ago, we decided to

11:41try the wireless version. We found that

11:44that um has limitations. Um a lot of

11:46times quite frankly it doesn't work. it

11:48gets garbled underwater. It's not really

11:50um uh foolproof. So, the standard really

11:53is to use wired communications. And the

11:56wires actually are within the tether

11:58ropes that tether to a diver. So, it

12:00looks like a normal rope, but it's

12:02actually wires running through it.

12:03They'll go right into their

12:04communication mass so that there's no

12:06chance of losing communications with the

12:07diver.

12:08>> Okay. And the tether that these wires

12:10will run through, it's not going to

12:11interfere with how the normal tethers

12:13work or is that place the normal tether

12:15or they now have two. This uh now takes

12:17the place of any tether we would use.

12:19It's fully rated as a full rope

12:21tethered. It's got the carabiner, the

12:23clips, and all that. Uh but again, the

12:24wires just run inside of it.

12:26>> Okay. And funding for this is no cost to

12:28the taxpayer because this is fully grant

12:30funded.

12:30>> This is fully grant funded through the

12:32uh JAG burn grant DOJ.

12:34>> Excellent. Thank you, Commander. That's

12:35all I have.

12:36>> All set.

12:37>> Yeah.

12:37>> Council Mudo.

12:40>> Thank you.

12:43the C uh the council asked all my

12:45questions except for one just a

12:47reconciliation question. So your request

12:50is for

12:52where is it

12:5519

12:55>> 199 $19,90

12:59but the bid came in at 15,149

13:02Councilman that's correct those numbers

13:04on the bid were just just guesstimates.

13:07We have a full spending authority of 19

13:08now and we went off of list pricing off

13:10of a website and say this is what we

13:12think we could get for that price and

13:14found out we can actually get more for

13:15that price.

13:17>> Thank you.

13:18>> Yep.

13:20>> Any questions from the council?

13:23>> Uh just a comment from myself. This was

13:25an item I was pulling and the same

13:27question Councilman Mudo had was mine.

13:30Thank you for your time. Any questions

13:32from the public on this item? Questions

13:35from the public? questions from the

13:37public. Seeing none,

13:38>> actually I have one one question.

13:40>> Just curiosity.

13:41>> I'll let you go.

13:42>> You'll let me go. Okay.

13:44[laughter]

13:46>> The uh the scuba uh this the uh scuba

13:49mask. What is the typical life on those?

13:52>> Um easily 10 years.

13:54>> 10 years.

13:57>> All right. So, we're moving on to 2026

13:59236. Councilman Mudo.

14:04>> All right.

14:09question here is um I believe there was

14:13an original request of $12,000.

14:17>> The original bid was $12,000. This is

14:20just to re-up the bid for a second year

14:22for the same $12,000.

14:24>> Okay. And is this um

14:28being purchased for the new vehicles or

14:30is this for replacement?

14:31>> No, this is for replacement lights,

14:33things that break. uh any extra things

14:34we need just to have a vendor on

14:36standby.

14:42>> Those are my questions.

14:43>> Thanks.

14:43>> Thank you. Any questions from the

14:45committee?

14:47Questions from the council?

14:49Questions from the public? Questions

14:52from the public? Questions from the

14:54public. Seeing none, moving on. The next

14:58item asked to be pulled

15:00was 2026 270B. Did you ask that one too?

15:05Can I defer? I'll defer it to Councilman

15:08Napa.

15:10He gets first questions.

15:13>> Good evening, Assistant Chief. I'm from

15:15the fire department.

15:16>> Good evening, Chief. Um, just looking at

15:18this bid item or looks like we're you're

15:21requesting to increase uh what was

15:24allocated for the overhead door repair

15:26and replacement by $10,000 up to

15:28$40,000. Correct.

15:30>> Correct.

15:30>> And uh we had this discussion earlier

15:33via email. I just wanted to clarify

15:35that. So these repairs, they're not due

15:38to any physical damage. Nobody drove

15:39through a door. It was just sort of

15:40unexpected PM and failing mechanical

15:43systems that just sometimes happen just

15:45unexpectedly. Is that

15:46>> correct? Yeah. Since this bid began, we

15:49haven't had any collisions or physical

15:51damage to any of the doors. This is just

15:53unfortunate. This summer, we had a lot

15:55of spring repairs uh and spring

15:57failures, and now they get pretty

15:58pricey. Uh the springs themselves cause

16:00uh are expensive, a lot of labor, and

16:03typically they need a scissor lift

16:04because our overhead doors are very

16:06tall. So, they need to rent a scissor

16:07lift in order to get up. So, they get

16:08pricey and we had a couple of them and

16:10some operator failures this summer, and

16:12it kind of shot what we thought we would

16:14be budgeting for for the year. Okay. And

16:16so we we got about six months left in

16:18this bid cycle if my quick math here is

16:21right. And we're you're about halfway

16:22through your budget already.

16:24>> Yeah, we're twothirds of the way. If we

16:26have 40, we're at 30 already, but uh we

16:29just went and uh finished all the

16:31maintenance, prevented maintenance on

16:32the doors. Uh so we're pretty confident

16:34in the next six months, all we're really

16:35going to be doing is some fixes and

16:37repairs and sensor repairs. So we think

16:39$10,000 should cover us for the next six

16:41months.

16:42>> Thank you. Go ahead.

16:45>> Councilman Mudo,

16:46>> thank you. I like letting him go first

16:48because he asked most of my questions.

16:51Uh just uh now just a clarification. Uh

16:54I have two dates and I know it's only

16:56only two days difference, but I have a

16:58contract end at 35. Uh yeah, I'm trying

17:02to figure out if it's supposed to be 35

17:04or 33. Uh, so the contract was March

17:084th, 2026 through March 3rd, 2027.

17:12>> So it's March March 3rd, right?

17:15>> Yeah, I did. It does say 35 in there.

17:17That is incorrect. It is March 3rd,

17:182027. That's the expiration date. That's

17:20my error on my letter.

17:22>> Okay, thank you. That's all correct.

17:25>> That's what I'm saying. Uh, solicitor,

17:28do do we need any actions by us to

17:31correct that

17:33typo?

17:35Uh could you highlight the is it on the

17:38resolution itself or is in the

17:40>> It's not on the resolution I'm told.

17:42>> Uh if it's not on the resolution and the

17:44resolution is correct. No amendments

17:45needed.

17:46>> Okay. Any other questions on this item

17:48from the council?

17:51Wow. That's un

17:53[laughter and clears throat]

17:54any I'm sorry people the I can't see

17:57anybody now I can. Thank you. Um any

18:00questions from the audience? Any

18:03questions from the public? Any questions

18:05from the public? Seeing none, moving on.

18:082027 241 repairs to front end loader.

18:15>> Good evening, Chrissy and Council Mudo

18:18after she introduces herself.

18:23>> Christie, we're ready.

18:26>> All right, you're up.

18:27>> Thank you.

18:29>> Thank you,

18:31Christie. Um, what is the current age or

18:34our reading of the current loader

18:37of this loader I should say?

18:40[clears throat]

18:42>> This is

18:51I think it's one of the 2014s which is

18:54actually one of our newer ones or 20

18:57Yeah, 2016.

18:59>> Okay.

19:02Do you have uh

19:04>> I don't have the hours? No.

19:05>> You don't have the hours? Okay.

19:08And uh do you know how since it is one

19:10of the newer ones, do you do you know

19:12how much we've already spent in

19:13repairing uh this particular loader?

19:16>> No.

19:17>> No. Okay. Can you find that out for us?

19:20>> I can.

19:20>> Okay. Awesome.

19:24Uh so on that question is so what's the

19:27basis for the 566 exception? um

19:31you know is it emergency soul source

19:34dealer only? What what's the reason with

19:36the 566?

19:37>> Well, as it states in the um the memo,

19:40it's a soul source provider of Milton

19:42Cat Repairs.

19:43>> Okay.

19:52>> I know it's brutal. [gasps]

19:55>> I'm sorry. So when uh based on this,

19:59when is the um when is this scheduled

20:01for replacement? Um

20:04>> as far as the um

20:08>> can't see my own handwriting.

20:10>> Blinded.

20:11>> It is. Uh

20:12>> I'll try to help you.

20:13>> Yeah. I wish you were taller.

20:14>> I know.

20:15>> Uh so the life uh the life of a loader.

20:18Uh when we look at our enterprise

20:21replacement plans, what what type of

20:23rotation is this on? It all depends on

20:27the usage of the machine. This one's

20:29used daily at the compost facility.

20:31>> Um, we also use it for plowing. Right

20:34now, we're not slated to purchase a new

20:36one um up till

20:39right through our I forget what capital

20:41year 2030.

20:43>> Um, but that all depends on,

20:47you know, if there's a catastrophic

20:49failure or something like that, we might

20:51have to move that timeline up. Okay.

20:55Great. That's all the questions I have.

20:57>> That's all you got.

20:59>> Any questions from the committee?

21:01Questions from the council?

21:03Questions from the public on this item?

22:54>> Did that Chinese food?

22:57>> You did?

22:59>> Oh,

23:06>> hey, I know you. Am I on your committee?

23:10>> No.

23:12Ah.

24:26We'll

24:46follow us.

25:21Correct. Okay.

25:24Okay. The time is now 5:24 and the

25:28ordinance committee is now in session.

25:32First order of business is acceptance of

25:34the committee minutes that were held on

25:36October 5th, 2026.

25:38>> Move favorable action.

25:40>> Second.

25:40>> We have a motion. We have a second. All

25:43in favor?

25:43>> I

25:44>> I 40. Motion passes. Second order of

25:47business PCO. Second order of business

25:49as listed on the agenda, PCO 20-

25:5426-26 sub A, an ordinance to prohibit

25:57overnight parking on the easterly side

25:59of River Street. Uh my understanding is

26:02that this

26:04uh the title of this item needs to be

26:06amended on the agenda. There's no

26:08amendment to the actual body of the item

26:11just to correct the agenda. Uh the

26:13amendment would be such that we would

26:15add

26:17after River Street north of Bellow

26:19Street between the hours of 10 p.m. and

26:226 a.m. Um

26:25any comments or discussion on proposed

26:28amendment?

26:30>> Sounds good to me.

26:32>> Seeing is there any objection to

26:34amending the item? We got to do council

26:38and

26:39>> comments or questions by members of the

26:41full council. Comments or questions by

26:44members of the public to amend just the

26:46title.

26:48Seeing none. Any objections by

26:51committee? None in committee. Any

26:52objections by the council?

26:54Objections by the public? Seeing none,

26:59can we have a vote on Do we have to vote

27:01on unanimous consent?

27:03>> No. unanimous consent to amend the

27:05agenda as as stated just to have the

27:07updated title uh correspondent is is

27:10enough. You can do that by UC.

27:12>> Thank you. Got it. Thank you, city

27:14solicitor. All right. So, that is

27:15amended. Now, speaking to the item uh

27:18itself, this is up for second passage

27:20docketed by Councilman Foley. Councilman

27:22Foley, do you wish to be heard on this

27:24item any further?

27:27>> Overnight parking.

27:28>> Oh, yes. What had happened was the

27:33>> What had happened was Is this the River

27:36Street? All right. What had happened was

27:39when it was originally passed, it went

27:43too far. We didn't stop it at Bellow

27:46Street. It went across a paper street

27:49and into a residential neighborhood that

27:51it was not intended for. This just

27:54corrects that.

27:55>> Got it. So, we're removing the

27:57restriction on the neighborhood to allow

27:58the residents to park in their own

28:00neighborhood now.

28:01>> Right.

28:02>> Sounds like it makes sense to me. Any

28:04further comments or questions by the

28:05members of this committee?

28:07Comments or questions by members of the

28:09council?

28:10Comments or questions by the members of

28:12the public? Seeing none, do we have a

28:14motion?

28:15>> Move favorable action.

28:17>> Motion favorable action and a second.

28:18All in favor?

28:19>> I I motion passes.

28:23Okay, moving on. Next order of business,

28:25PCO3-26,

28:27an ordinance establishing a financial

28:29oversight commission. This was delegated

28:31by Councilman Mito and Councilman

28:33Lattiser, who cannot make it this

28:34evening. Council me, I'll defer to you,

28:36sir.

28:39>> Thank you, Chairman. We're uh we're

28:41going to wait in until uh November when

28:44Councilman Liser uh returns. We've also

28:47been working uh behind the scenes. We

28:49have some additional work with uh

28:52Solicitor Walsh. So, I think it'd be

28:54more appropriate when we uh when we

28:56regroup in November.

28:57>> Understood. Are you requesting to hold

28:59till the November 9th or the November

29:0123rd meeting?

29:02>> Uh let's do November 23rd.

29:04>> Okay. Any objection to this item being

29:06held till November 23rd?

29:08Seeing none, so held.

29:15Last order of business, PCO8-26,

29:18an ordinance establishing a real estate

29:20non-utilization tax. Uh, this is

29:23docketed by Council President Sappi. My

29:26understanding, Council President, is

29:27that you wish to hold this item to allow

29:29Councilman Latiser to be present. Is

29:31that correct?

29:32>> Yes, that's correct.

29:33>> Do we have a a date to which you that

29:36you wish to hold it till

29:38>> 9 or 23 of November?

29:40>> We can just do

29:43we can just do the next meeting

29:44optimistically 119. Just bear in mind

29:47for those listening at home and those

29:49here that there's a sub A as well. It's

29:52not officially adopted by any means, so

29:54both will still show up. So, just for

29:57people to be aware and review the sub

29:59when they have time, that way when we do

30:01eventually have time to discuss this,

30:04they're up to date.

30:06>> Okay. Any objection to holding this item

30:09until 11:9?

30:10>> No. No.

30:11>> Seeing none, so held. It is now 5:29.

30:14Ordinance is adjourned.

30:18Would

30:27the public safety committee please

30:29convene?

30:49I got a fish.

31:33I I'm just not I'm not trying to be a

31:36stickler, but should we be staying by

31:38the time posted or can we run early

31:44>> the um

31:46per resolution that we did uh by

31:50Councilman De Louuise, we adjusted those

31:52meeting times and the public safety

31:55committee is eligible to begin at 5:20

31:58a.m. It is 5:31. So, it is allowable to

32:01proceed at this time and it was posted

32:03uh accordingly with the Secretary of

32:04State's office.

32:10>> Thank you, Councilman.

32:12The public safety committee uh is uh

32:18active at 5:31.

32:20Uh, first order of business is the

32:23acceptance of minutes from the October

32:255th, 2026 meeting.

32:27>> Move favorable.

32:30>> Second.

32:31>> Second.

32:32>> All in favor?

32:33>> I

32:37the do it again.

32:41Uh,

32:43next order uh vote is for the acceptance

32:45of minutes from the committee held on

32:47October 5th, 2026.

32:53Move to accept. Move to accept. Second.

32:56>> All in favor?

32:57>> I I

32:59301

33:01absent.

33:02Great. All right. The first item on the

33:06list is PCR 6826,

33:10a resolution in regards to installing

33:13stop signs on Bllye Street where it

33:16intersects Maple Street and Chestnut

33:19Street and on Elm Street where it

33:22intersects by Bllye Street.

33:26This is Councilman Ricks. Yes, thank

33:29you. So

33:31uh we had discussed this issue a bit at

33:34the last meeting.

33:36There remains some inconsistencies with

33:39the traffic study

33:42uh compared to the reality on the ground

33:45and I also have some concerns ongoing

33:48about the findings of that traffic

33:50study. So

33:53we have not yet received clarification.

33:56I think it makes sense based on a

33:58conversation I had with the council

34:00president to continue this matter for

34:04one additional meeting to November 9th

34:07to make sure that we are getting some of

34:09the answers there

34:12and then we'll be able to move forward

34:14with this at that particular meeting. I

34:18certainly don't intend to hold this

34:20beyond then.

34:22Okay. Thank you, Councilman. So is is

34:25there are there any objections to

34:27holding this to 119 from the committee

34:33council

34:35and the public? Okay. Held until 119.

34:41Next order is PCR 9226

34:45resolution relative to Andrew Castro's

34:48claim. This would be Councilman Kirby.

34:52Yes.

34:54Uh seeing [clears throat] that the B was

34:56not in the way of construction of the

34:58gas line, I think we look with favorable

35:01action and we should pay this.

35:07Any uh comments from the committee

35:10Councilman Rex,

35:13thank you. Yes, I see that there's been

35:15extensive documentation

35:18responses from the

35:21uh from the claimant as well.

35:25I could see some potential for some

35:27concerns on uh some items here, but I

35:31think that the amount of documentation,

35:34the statements, and the consistency with

35:37what we can actually verify as well,

35:40Google Maps, the Street View, and the

35:42like.

35:44I'll also state that the estimates all

35:47show amounts greater than $300.

35:51Estimates look legitimate to me. Our

35:54maximum authority here is 300. So I

35:57would concur with Councilman Kirby that

36:00payments in the amount of the maximum of

36:01300 would be appropriate.

36:07Any other comments, Councilman Kirby?

36:09>> No.

36:09>> No. How about from the council? Any any

36:12comments?

36:14No. Any comments from the public?

36:19Any comments from the public?

36:23Last call. Any comments from the public?

36:26All right. Seeing none, may I have a

36:28motion, please?

36:32>> Move to approve in the amount of $300.

36:35>> Seconded.

36:36>> All in favor?

36:37>> I. Okay.

36:45All right. Next item is PCR108-26,

36:51a resolution in regards to installing a

36:53stop sign on Pocahontas Drive where it

36:56intersects with Alquan Al Gangquin Drive

37:00and Squantum Drive. This is Councilman

37:02Foley. Councilman Foley, would you like

37:05to introduce

37:17Stop playing music.

37:19>> He's just opening up his page.

37:24>> Yep.

37:30>> Sorry.

37:33>> The ones that were there were never

37:35authorized by ordinance or resolution.

37:38This solves that problem.

37:40>> Thank you.

37:41>> Okay.

37:41>> Thank you. Any discussion by the

37:43committee?

37:45>> No. Any discussion by the council?

37:50>> Seeing none, any discussion by the

37:52public?

37:54Any discussion by the public?

37:59>> Go ahead.

38:01>> We all know this. We all We've all had

38:03traffic studies done, but I want to

38:05compliment our community policing

38:07officers. I know in my cases when I ask

38:10for a traffic study and I tell them Mr.

38:12Napper is the one who called in and

38:15asked about this, they go knock on his

38:17door and they involve him in the

38:19conversation so that regardless of what

38:22the decision that constituent knows what

38:26why what the why and what for of it. And

38:30uh I think that's a a unique I don't

38:33know if other departments do it. I know

38:35ours does and I I'm grateful for it.

38:37Thank you. That's all.

38:38>> Thank you, Councilman Foley. And I will

38:41concur. You know, our community policing

38:43does a great job. Uh policing in general

38:45does a good job. I'm sort of favored to

38:47the K9 group, but other than that, last

38:51call for uh comments from the public.

38:56Seeing none, may I have a motion?

38:59Move favorable action.

39:02>> Second. All in favor? Hi.

39:04>> Hi.

39:26>> Actually, is that is that it?

39:29>> That's it. That's safety.

39:31>> Oh, that's awesome.

39:34All right, that was our last item. I'm

39:36used to going to page two, but nothing

39:37on page two. All right, so uh public

39:41safety concludes at 5:39 p.m.

39:48>> Would the intergovernmental committee

39:50please convene?

40:00[laughter]

40:01>> All righty.

40:03>> [clears throat]

40:14>> How are you? How are you?

40:28>> Good evening. Time is now 5:39. Our

40:32governmental comes to order.

40:40Uh first item in business is acceptance

40:42of the minutes from October 5th, 2026.

40:45Do we have a motion?

40:46>> Motion favor action.

40:47>> Second.

40:48>> Uh moved and seconded. All in favor?

40:51>> I

40:51>> I

40:544. Thank you.

41:00>> Okay. First up on our

41:03uh docket is the uh appointment for the

41:05city clerk.

41:09[clears throat]

41:14So, Miss uh Tara Booth.

41:29Thank you, mayor.

41:31>> Good evening, chairman. Um, tonight I'm

41:33here to ask you to confirm the

41:36appointment of our acting clerk, Tara

41:39Booth, as city clerk of the city of

41:41Warwick. Um, as you know, several months

41:44ago, our um, former city clerk uh, left

41:49uh, kind of abruptly. We didn't get much

41:51notice. We didn't have any time for

41:53transition. And the person who stepped

41:56up to take over that that uh department

41:58is Tara Booth. Tara's worked for the

42:00city for 20 years, 14 years in the

42:02clerk's office, and she knows every

42:04aspect of the of the uh clerk's duties,

42:06which include municipal court, um uh so

42:12much of it. Land evidence, deeds, vital

42:15statistics, probate court. She knows

42:16every aspect of it. She's respected by

42:19the people that are working under her.

42:21She's worked right away to modernize and

42:23make the office more efficient. Um we're

42:26moving into um public records takes a

42:28lot of their time. We've moved into

42:29software that will automate that. Um

42:32wouldn't have to be monitored as closely

42:34as it is. She's crossraining the

42:36personnel. She's reduced the wait time

42:38there. Uh we don't have to wait for a

42:40vitals clerk anymore because there's

42:42another one just ready to take their

42:43place. Um she's we're we're working on

42:46we have a problem with archiving

42:48records. Uh we're working on that with

42:50her. She's respected by everyone that

42:52works there, a lot of whom came here

42:54tonight. Um including her husband, Mr.

42:58Clerk.

43:00[laughter]

43:02She cares deeply about the city. Um the

43:04city clerk's office is probably one of

43:06the most public facing departments we

43:08have. People go there for help and they

43:12don't want to be met with an attitude.

43:13They want to be met with pleasant people

43:14even though a lot of times they're not

43:16pleasant. Uh, Tara has the temperament

43:18for that. She's fantastic at customer

43:20service. Um, we did post the position.

43:23We interviewed several and it was very

43:25clear, more clear than since I've been

43:26here, who we needed to hire in that

43:28position. So, I'm asking you for that

43:30confirmation and and Mrs. Booth is here

43:33to answer any questions you might have.

43:35>> Thank you, Mayor.

43:36>> All the way from up there.

43:38>> Yes. [laughter]

43:40>> Well, thank you for joining us tonight.

43:41>> Thank you.

43:43>> Um, members of the committee, any

43:45questions?

43:49Uh, so just wanted to make a couple

43:51comments. Um, since you took over as

43:55acting city clerk, I think you've done

43:56an exceptional job. I look forward to

43:58working with you in the future. And I

43:59can say that from a professional

44:00standpoint, uh, when my staff comes to

44:02the clerk's office to record deeds and

44:04get probate docs and file things. Um,

44:06they mention how nice it is to go in and

44:10that things are a lot quicker,

44:11especially getting deeds recorded when

44:12we do our trust work and things of that

44:14nature. So, I can definitely attest to

44:16what the mayor has said. So, you're

44:17doing an excellent job. Please keep it

44:18up.

44:18>> Thank you.

44:18>> And um you're not allowed to retire

44:20until we say so.

44:21>> Oh, [laughter]

44:23we'll be working together for some time.

44:25>> She's young. She has [laughter]

44:28>> Thank you, Councilman.

44:30>> Anyone else?

44:32>> Yeah, sure.

44:32>> I just like to make a comment. Um, I

44:35don't I don't know you uh well, haven't

44:38needed um to go to the clerk's office

44:40lately, but the um recommendations by

44:44the mayor and from what I've heard, uh

44:47you seem like you're a right fit for

44:49this position. So, good luck.

44:52>> Thank you.

44:54>> Thank you, council.

44:57>> Members of the council, Councilman

44:59Ricks,

45:01>> thank you. Thank you for all of your

45:03services uh to the years of service to

45:06the city

45:08uh hopefully many years of excellent

45:12service uh as in this new role of city

45:16clerk as well. I've heard only great

45:19things about all of the work that you're

45:22doing at the clerk's office, including

45:25uh your role here as acting clerk. Have

45:28full confidence in your abilities.

45:31Uh yeah, I would say that the clerk's

45:34office is a little bit of everything,

45:36but there's nothing little about it.

45:39It's a it's a fire hose of all of these

45:42issues coming at the city. So, it's an

45:46incredibly important position,

45:48incredibly important office, and uh I

45:52don't want to speak for anyone else on

45:54the city council, but I think it's

45:57pretty safe to say that that city

45:59clerk's office is in good hands. Thank

46:02you.

46:02>> Thank you.

46:04>> Thank you, Councilman. Anyone else?

46:08Okay, seeing none, I did uh make a few

46:11phone calls around today uh to just get

46:14some some background. You and I don't

46:15know each other all that well, but um

46:17everyone sang your praises and uh it's

46:20already um just in the first few months

46:22that you started made a bunch of

46:24improvements. So, uh good to hear. Good

46:26luck with uh with your term.

46:28>> Thank you. Um

46:31>> do we have a motion?

46:33Uh members of the public, anyone

46:37anything to add?

46:39Let the record show there were several

46:41thumbs up [laughter] from the gallery.

48:31Authority. I've also been a realtor for

48:34about 50 years started in 1977.

48:38I'm very familiar with the issues that

48:41sewers provide for both residential and

48:44commercial real estate and it seemed

1:33:49meeting held on October 5th, 2026.

1:34:51speakers, concluding their allotted time

1:34:52or 30 minutes. Waiver of this provision

1:34:54requires unanimous vote of the council.

1:34:58All right. First up,

1:35:06does anyone have an objection to giving

1:35:08everyone five minutes on the list? There

1:35:09are seven on the list.

1:35:12All right, we'll do that then. First up,

1:35:14we have, and I apologize in advance if I

1:35:17butcher any pronunciations, Joe Moran.

1:35:35just state your name before you get

1:35:36going and then have at it.

1:35:38>> Sure. Gina Presioce.

1:35:44Um I'm not sure if you received the

1:35:46email packet that I sent you regarding

1:35:48the property at um 175 Post Road. It's

1:35:53It's basically why I'm here because

1:35:54we've been having issues with this

1:35:57property for years now and we need help

1:36:00to get it squared away. For years, the

1:36:03neighbors and the residents have been

1:36:04pursuing numerous avenues to have the

1:36:06activities on this property brought into

1:36:08compliance with the Warwick zoning

1:36:09ordinance and applicable uh regulations.

1:36:13And despite the complaints and the

1:36:15hearing and enforcement notices, the

1:36:17legal proceedings and the disputed act

1:36:19the disputed activities continue at all

1:36:22hours of the day and night 24/7.

1:36:25There's a crane company on the property,

1:36:27wide load trucks,

1:36:30transport car um tractor trailers

1:36:32bringing cars in and out. um is also a

1:36:37longhaul trucking and big trucking

1:36:40parking lot 24/7 advertised.

1:36:44Um but to our knowledge the only zone

1:36:47there's the only zoning authorization

1:36:50for the property was 2023

1:36:53a zoning certificate identified as a

1:36:55terminal yard. There's been no ma uh

1:36:58minor land development application,

1:37:00approved changes of use, special use

1:37:03permits, or certificates of occupancy

1:37:05authorizing the various operations

1:37:07taking place on the property. During a

1:37:10zoning board proceeding,

1:37:13uh an expert witness testified terminal

1:37:15yard was not an appropriate

1:37:16classification for the actual activities

1:37:19occurring at 175 Post Road. The expert

1:37:22explained that the commercial trucking

1:37:24parking lot junkyard related operations

1:37:27were not permitted permitted

1:37:29uses within the light industrial

1:37:33zone. It is zoned for light industrial

1:37:36and what's been going on there is

1:37:38anything but

1:37:40um it's also on a flood zone and they

1:37:44have um all kinds of PCV piping that's

1:37:48been there for years. it's starting to

1:37:50disintegrate and all of that is either a

1:37:53fire hazard or it's going to leech into

1:37:56the river that we spent millions to

1:37:58clean up. The question regarding the

1:38:01city's initial authorization is also an

1:38:03issue during the proceedings at

1:38:06municipal court because it's been in

1:38:08court a couple of times. Uh the judge

1:38:11said that um that's why the company had

1:38:16not um obtained the necessary permits

1:38:19comparing the situation to permitting

1:38:21the requirement for construction of a

1:38:24skyscraper or any of their other jobs.

1:38:26And their lawyer said because the

1:38:29building official told us we didn't have

1:38:31to. That statement was made by their

1:38:34attorney, not by the building and zoning

1:38:37director himself. Nonetheless, it raises

1:38:39an important question about the guidance

1:38:41that was provided to the property owners

1:38:44and why this operation was allowed to

1:38:46commence without uh applications or

1:38:49approvals.

1:38:51Um just the ongoing enforcement. We know

1:38:54it's a process. We keep hearing how it's

1:38:56a process. We're four years into this

1:38:59process. It's going back and forth to

1:39:01court. The city's taking them into court

1:39:04finally. Um they've had notice of

1:39:06violations. They've gotten

1:39:10more than one. Um it's just constant and

1:39:15we've been trying to go with the process

1:39:17and we've been working with the process,

1:39:20but there's laws on the books. There's

1:39:22there's procedures that were never

1:39:24followed to begin with and that's what's

1:39:26gotten us here. Nothing about this

1:39:29property is in compliance. It's never

1:39:31been in compliance and we're still

1:39:33fighting the process. This has cost

1:39:37public citizens hundreds of thousands of

1:39:39dollars to fight and it's also costing

1:39:42the city a lot of money to to fight, I

1:39:44would assume, because it keeps going

1:39:46back and forth to court. Um,

1:39:49and it's just it's a whole disruption to

1:39:52our way of life. We can't have our

1:39:54windows open in the summer. It's so

1:39:56loud. They have refrigerator trucks

1:39:58droning all night long.

1:40:00wide load trucks that can't even make

1:40:02the turn from

1:40:03>> You have one minute.

1:40:04>> They have street onto post road. We just

1:40:07need the city council. If there's

1:40:08anything you can do to help step in or

1:40:10move this process or get these people

1:40:12into compliance or work with the

1:40:14departments, we need help. We we can't

1:40:17keep doing this. It's just everyone's

1:40:19sick of talking about it. And I just

1:40:22wanted to see and thank you for your

1:40:24time and see if there's anything you

1:40:26guys could do.

1:40:28Thank you.

1:40:31Thank you. Next up is Joe Moran.

1:40:43>> Good evening. My name is Jill Moran and

1:40:46I am a resident also at 200 Post Road

1:40:50Village Condominiums and uh I served on

1:40:53the board there for about nine years.

1:40:55So, I want to thank you for the

1:40:57opportunity to speak tonight, and I do

1:40:59appreciate everything that you do for

1:41:01the city, and I know it's not an easy

1:41:03job. I've been a property manager for 20

1:41:07years, and when I have an issue with a

1:41:10resident or whatever it might be, I

1:41:13always try to look at it from every

1:41:15side. I try to look at it from the

1:41:16resident side, I try to look at it from

1:41:18ownership side, and then I look at it

1:41:21from my side. And then at that point, I

1:41:23form my plan. So I'm asking the council

1:41:28to please try and look at it from our

1:41:30side and what we've experienced for the

1:41:33last two plus years, the noise,

1:41:36everything that Gina said. I'm not going

1:41:37to rehash what she said. I'm just asking

1:41:40that you look at it from our side and

1:41:42put yourself in that position of 4:00 in

1:41:44the morning, 2:00 in the morning, all

1:41:47day Sunday afternoon. Imagine if that

1:41:50were next to your house. Just please try

1:41:52and see things from our perspective.

1:41:55It's very easy. I do it myself. I label

1:41:58people as a complainer. I label them as

1:42:00difficult.

1:42:02Um I I can be guilty of that. But I do

1:42:04that in my head. I still continue and do

1:42:06my job the way I need to do it the right

1:42:09way and be fair. And that's all we've

1:42:11been asking of the city.

1:42:14So, on another note, the reason that I'm

1:42:17here besides that is I know that

1:42:20Councilman Foley is uh supportive of a

1:42:23truck ban on uh rerouting of the trucks

1:42:27on Post Road. I appreciate that support.

1:42:29Thank you very much. That's part of why

1:42:31I'm here tonight. Um that area of Post

1:42:35Road has gotten so busy. the speeding

1:42:39cars, the speeding trucks. It's a safety

1:42:42concern as well as being very loud. Um,

1:42:47that's the the main reason why I'm here.

1:42:49Village Green has 151 um uh units. So,

1:42:54there's 151 plus people. Many of us have

1:42:58pets. Many of us cross post road. Many

1:43:01of us walk to the village. It's not very

1:43:04safe anymore. So, I encourage that. um

1:43:08you you might consider that truck ban as

1:43:11well as a a crosswalk. And also one

1:43:14other thing that I talked to about a

1:43:15year ago uh with Councilman Foley about

1:43:18was um the sound meters, the noise

1:43:23meters that New York City has put in

1:43:25place. I know Providence is working on

1:43:27it. Newport has them. They've been

1:43:29extremely successful. And I would

1:43:32encourage the city to possibly consider

1:43:34the sound meeting meters as well as

1:43:37maybe a a speed um meter. I'm not even

1:43:41sure what they're called, but in that

1:43:42area of post road. Um, so again, just to

1:43:45summarize, appreciate your time and your

1:43:49support, and I would just like to

1:43:52encourage uh maybe rerouting the trucks,

1:43:54a crosswalk, and maybe some sort of

1:43:57speed or sound meter in that area of

1:44:00post roads around 200 Post Road. Thank

1:44:03you for your time, and thank you for

1:44:05everything that you do.

1:44:10>> [clears throat]

1:44:11>> Next up is John McNeel.

1:44:25>> Good [clears throat] evening everyone.

1:44:26My name is John McNeel. My property is

1:44:28at 131 Pro Post Road. My wife and I

1:44:31purchased that house about 5 years ago

1:44:33and we uh share a border with 175 Post

1:44:36Road. Uh, thank you all for allowing us

1:44:39the opportunity to speak tonight. Um, I

1:44:42do I'm going to be a little bit

1:44:44redundant in trying to get you guys to

1:44:46understand what living next to this

1:44:47property has actually been like. Um,

1:44:50with our windows open uh towards 175, my

1:44:54wife and I are awakened in our home

1:44:56pretty much regularly with engines

1:44:59revving, loud banging of heavy equipment

1:45:01on trucks and backup beepers, which is

1:45:04probably the worst part of our evening

1:45:06is the constant beep beep beep at uh all

1:45:11sorts of different times, unexpected

1:45:12either 1:30 in the morning, 4:30 in the

1:45:15morning, 4:00 in the morning, 5:30, or

1:45:18just uh recently this Saturday morning

1:45:20at 5:00. Um, and it, you know, there's

1:45:23there's no rhyme or reason as to when or

1:45:25where it's going to happen. Um, you

1:45:28know, I understand that there are court

1:45:30cases, very high-profile court cases

1:45:33that are still going on, zoning

1:45:34proceedings, appeals, and another

1:45:37hearing coming in November. But while

1:45:39all that continues, we're the ones that

1:45:42are living next to it. Uh I don't think

1:45:45any member of this council would find it

1:45:48acceptable to have a commercial

1:45:49operation next to their home waking

1:45:51their family at 1:30 or 4:30 in the

1:45:53morning. Uh I don't think that we should

1:45:56have to accept it either. Uh so my

1:45:58request tonight is very simple as our

1:46:00elected officials uh please help us get

1:46:03this resolved. Uh we've been dealing

1:46:06with this for years. We don't need

1:46:08another explanation of why it's

1:46:09complicated. We need to know what the

1:46:11city can do now, what it's going to do,

1:46:14and when we can expect that to happen.

1:46:17There's uh one other reason I think that

1:46:19this should matter to all of us. I'm a

1:46:22former uh Air Force veteran. I'm a

1:46:24currently an assistant principal in

1:46:26Massachusetts, but before I before I did

1:46:29that, I spent many years teaching

1:46:30secondary history in Rhode Island and

1:46:33Massachusetts.

1:46:35The Gatsby affair is taught in American

1:46:38history classrooms far beyond Warwick

1:46:41and Rhode Island. Uh, in fact, my eighth

1:46:44grade history teachers in Attelboroough

1:46:46are about to teach this period right

1:46:48now. We are prominently featured in Ken

1:46:51Burns current series about the

1:46:53revolution. Um, and the village is also

1:46:56prominently, if you haven't seen it, I'm

1:46:58sure everyone's familiar. Elijah Rhodess

1:47:00in the village are in the other uh Ken

1:47:03Burns series the civil war. Both are

1:47:05used in school curriculums throughout

1:47:06the country throughout probably the

1:47:08world because McMillan is the the

1:47:11producer of the curriculum and they push

1:47:13that out to anyone that wants to teach a

1:47:15mayor US history one. Um I think

1:47:18sometimes when you live here it's easy

1:47:19to forget what we have. Uh Puxit and

1:47:22Gatsby aren't just neighborhoods. This

1:47:25area is part of a nationally significant

1:47:27story about the beginnings of the

1:47:29American Revolution. That's why I

1:47:32personally struggle to understand why

1:47:34protecting the character of this village

1:47:36hasn't been a greater priority.

1:47:39What happens at 175 Post Road isn't

1:47:42confini confined to the property line.

1:47:44The noise, the tr truck traffic, the

1:47:46pollution and the industrial activity

1:47:48affect the people who live around it.

1:47:51But they also affect the character of a

1:47:53historic village that all of us have

1:47:55inherited and have some responsibility

1:47:57to protect.

1:48:01Years from now, the question shouldn't

1:48:04be why the residents didn't speak up. We

1:48:06have repeatedly for years. The question

1:48:10will be what the city did when we did.

1:48:14Uh we're asking you to help us protect

1:48:16our homes, protect this village, and

1:48:18finally bring the situation to a

1:48:19resolution. We just want to be able to

1:48:22sleep on our own homes. Thank you.

1:48:29Next up is Daniel Dubai.

1:48:36Good evening, Council President Sappi

1:48:39and members of the city council. My name

1:48:42is Danell Dubai and I live in Arnold's

1:48:44Neck. I'm here tonight to give you a

1:48:46brief update on the ongoing access

1:48:49issues involving Mijiav and the marina.

1:48:52As many of you know, our community has

1:48:55been advocating to preserve historic

1:48:57shoreline access and ensure safe

1:49:00emergency access through Miji A. We have

1:49:03collected more than 200 signatures and

1:49:06more than 200 letters were sent in and

1:49:08submitted from concerned residents.

1:49:11Unfortunately, the situation remains

1:49:13unresolved. For more than a century,

1:49:16Miji A has been used by our neighborhood

1:49:19to access the shoreline, and today the

1:49:21same carter also provides access to my

1:49:24residents, including vehicle access,

1:49:27utilities, and emergency services. The

1:49:30issue became personal for me in May 2025

1:49:33when my 9-month-old son fell in the

1:49:36Warick Fire Department responded and

1:49:39commercial obstructions prevented the

1:49:41emergency vehicle from getting all the

1:49:43way through the corridor to reach us. As

1:49:46a mother, the experience was frightening

1:49:48and as a member of this community, I

1:49:50remain concerned about what could happen

1:49:52during another emergency. whether at my

1:49:55home or at the shoreline.

1:49:57We've continued efforts to negotiate

1:49:59with the marina and find a reasonable

1:50:02solution that respects its business

1:50:04operations while also recognizing the

1:50:06needs of our historic neighborhood.

1:50:09Unfortunately, additional obstructions

1:50:12have appeared and the access concerns

1:50:14remain.

1:50:16Through our research, we've also

1:50:17uncovered historical records dating back

1:50:20more than a century that raise important

1:50:22questions.

1:50:24Questions about Mijlabs Miji Aab's

1:50:26original dedication, its 1958

1:50:29abandonment, and whether public or state

1:50:31interests in this corridor remain.

1:50:34Councilman Jack Kirby has been working

1:50:37with our community on a resolution that

1:50:39we hope will come before this council

1:50:41for consideration.

1:50:43The revised resolution requests that

1:50:45Rhode Island's Coastal Resources

1:50:47Management Council and Coalition

1:50:50investigate the historical records,

1:50:52review the public access and emergency

1:50:55safety concerns, and make a formal

1:50:57determination regarding Miji AB's status

1:51:00as a public shoreline access point and

1:51:03right ofway.

1:51:04Rhode Island is the ocean state. Our

1:51:07coastal access is a treasured part of

1:51:10our history and our state's identity

1:51:13[snorts] and the rights and the

1:51:14responsibilities surrounding that access

1:51:17deserve to be clearly understood.

1:51:20I wanted to make sure the council knows

1:51:22that this issue has not gone away. Our

1:51:25community remains involved. We are

1:51:27continuing to work towards a resolution

1:51:29and we appreciate the council's

1:51:31attention to this matter as it moves

1:51:33forward. Thank you for your time.

1:51:39Richard Langith is up next.

1:51:48[clears throat] Uh Richard Langith, Budl

1:51:50Long Farm. Um we've been talking about

1:51:53rights of way for a long time, actually

1:51:57for hundreds of years, truth be known.

1:52:00What I'm concerned about, and I think

1:52:02I've mentioned this before, there are

1:52:04many new people moving into Warwick.

1:52:07People who think when they move in

1:52:10they're going to have access to the

1:52:11shore.

1:52:14Housing is now what what's a house?

1:52:17500,000 400,000.

1:52:20The people buying these houses expect

1:52:23city services. And one of the services a

1:52:26lot of them expect is access to the

1:52:28shore.

1:52:30We have an economic development

1:52:32department. We we have a tourism

1:52:35department. Um there's all kinds of

1:52:38state agencies like the Commerce

1:52:40Corporation who literally gets millions

1:52:43of dollars um to advocate for tourism.

1:52:48Yet none of them deal with coastal

1:52:51access. Th this is an opportunity for

1:52:54all of us.

1:52:56maybe not W two, but um most of the

1:52:59folks have have access to the to the

1:53:01shore. Um and and we really need to

1:53:05focus on this. This is a very very

1:53:07important thing and and I just feel a

1:53:10lack of traction not not by the city

1:53:13council but perhaps by the

1:53:15administration and and I know it can get

1:53:17a lot better. Um there was a previous

1:53:20speaker who um expresses frustration

1:53:24with with this and and rightfully so. Um

1:53:28why why can't we all work together and

1:53:30get this shoreline going? Um there's

1:53:33been some wonderful progress. Um the I

1:53:36think the planning department, I'm not

1:53:38sure, but somebody came up with um a

1:53:40website that has 200 rights of way

1:53:44listed in the city of Warwick. Just just

1:53:46think about this. 200 of them and and

1:53:49and it's in a database now. So this is

1:53:52an opportunity maybe AI um this this is

1:53:56an opportunity for all of us to focus on

1:54:00these issues to write the things down

1:54:02whether it be warn neck pawit where we

1:54:06know there's been big problems which

1:54:09continue to this day there's there's a

1:54:11place in Pawamit where the gentleman has

1:54:14put in sprinklers in the rightway and he

1:54:17can turn them on when you start going

1:54:19down the rightway that's been

1:54:21outstanding for more than a year. Why

1:54:24can't the city do something about that?

1:54:27The these are real issues. There there

1:54:30are issues at Warwick Neck. There are

1:54:33issues in my neighborhood, Sylvia Drive.

1:54:35What they did was they put up no parking

1:54:38signs on Sylvia Drive. Sylvia Drive is

1:54:41probably the widest street in Warwick

1:54:43because the sewer authority took down

1:54:45the center of it. All the all the cedar

1:54:48trees came down. So, this is a very wide

1:54:50road. It's maybe as wide as this this um

1:54:53chamber here. And why can't we have

1:54:56parking on Sylvia Drive? I mean, this is

1:54:58just mind-blowing.

1:55:01But I'm talking at a higher level. I'm

1:55:03talking about what is the opportunity

1:55:05for the city and why can't we get people

1:55:07in city administration engaged and

1:55:10involved and maybe adopter right away? I

1:55:13don't know what to do. All I know is

1:55:15that people moving in expect it and

1:55:18they're just not getting it. and I

1:55:19appreciate you thinking about it. Thank

1:55:21you.

1:55:26Next up is Rob Cody.

1:55:33>> All right. Well, if he shows back up

1:55:34before we're done, you can have at it.

1:55:37And then lastly, Bill King.

1:55:49Good evening. My name is Bill King. Um,

1:55:52this is also about 175 Post Road. I'm a

1:55:55a unit owner at Village Green and it's

1:55:58directly across the street. I've lived

1:55:59there for 25 years and I have to say the

1:56:02last four plus have been quite

1:56:04disruptive because of that area. You've

1:56:06heard my my three neighbors speak and my

1:56:09wish is not to take up your time but to

1:56:11speak in affirmation and support of what

1:56:13they've said. It's been multiple years

1:56:16wherein people of this area in the

1:56:18community have spoken up and fought to

1:56:21have this untenable situation addressed

1:56:23and resolved. We've attended meetings at

1:56:26times with the mayor, zoning board

1:56:27hearings, historic district commission

1:56:29hearings, and the community gatherings.

1:56:31We've spoken to the media and spent

1:56:33endless hours outlining and pleading

1:56:36with all the man manners of authorities

1:56:37to try and get to a point of resolution.

1:56:40It is frustrating and we just wish that

1:56:43with the definitive violations and

1:56:45ordinances that have um occurred and um

1:56:51that

1:56:53we could please get some form of faster

1:56:56resolution if at all possible. We know

1:56:58it's a process. I live about a tenth of

1:57:00a mile from the s from the area because

1:57:02I live in the back of the property and

1:57:04it's extremely disruptive when any of

1:57:06the windows are open at all times of the

1:57:08night and day as you've heard. I just

1:57:10want to sincerely ask for your attention

1:57:12and your effort to please focus on

1:57:14resolving it. I also appreciate

1:57:16Councilman Foley for what he's been

1:57:17doing and everyone here who's been doing

1:57:19everything. Thank you.

1:57:25>> All right. And one last opportunity, Rob

1:57:28Cody.

2:16:38>> Nope. Get them off the clock.

2:16:42>> All right. And just find it.

2:16:45>> So, all right. So, we'll jump to PCR

2:16:47112-26, a resolution authorizing the

2:16:50mayor to enter into contingent fee legal

2:16:52retainer agreement regarding PVC pipe

2:16:54antirust litigation. just to make sure

2:16:56nobody has an objection right now that I

2:16:58said the full title this time. All

2:16:59right.

2:17:02So, this is docket on behalf of the

2:17:03mayor. So, city solicitor. Thank you,

2:17:06Mr. Chairman, members of the council.

2:17:07This um litigation is class action being

2:17:10brought against manufacturers of the PCV

2:17:14pipe um with claims um that they

2:17:18violated basically the um Sherman

2:17:20Antitrust Act by um charging more than

2:17:24they should have during a period of time

2:17:26between 2021 and 2025. Um the city did

2:17:30purchase such pipe during that time

2:17:33period. We're recommending that the

2:17:35mayor be allowed to enter into the

2:17:38engagement whether it's a contingent fee

2:17:40agreement, meaning that the city will um

2:17:44not have to put out any money whatsoever

2:17:46if in fact there is a recovery for the

2:17:49city. The law firm will retain 25% as

2:17:52its fee. Highly recommend that the city

2:17:56um allow the mayor to enter into this

2:17:59litigation because there's only upside

2:18:01for the city. All

2:18:04right. So, because we didn't take public

2:18:06comment on this earlier, does anyone

2:18:08from the public wish to comment on this?

2:18:12>> All right. So, does anyone have a motion

2:18:14they'd like to make on this? Councilman

2:18:17Ricks move.

2:18:19>> Favorable.

2:18:20>> Second.

2:18:20>> Second by Councilman Nappa. All right.

2:18:22And Councilman De Louise, did you want

2:18:23to All right. Does anyone have any

2:18:25further questions or comments on this

2:18:27item?

2:18:29>> All right. Seeing none, clerk will

2:18:30please call the role.

2:18:31>> Mr. Mr. Sappy.

2:18:33>> Yes.

2:18:33>> Mr. Douise.

2:18:34>> Yes.

2:18:35>> Mr. Foley.
