wishes, I remain

CITY OF NEWPORT
MINUTES OF THE COUNCIL MEETING
HELD JUNE 8, 2011
The following items of business, filed with the City Clerk under the Rules of the Council, came
before the Council at its regular meeting held on June 8, 20II.
The MAYOR called the meeting to order at 6:30 P.M.
The CITY CLERK called the roll and the following members were present:
CHARLES Y. DUNCAN
KATHRYNE.LEONARD
JUSTIN S. MC LAUGHLIN
JEANNE-MARIE NAPOLITANO
NAOMI NEVILLE
STEPHEN C. WALUK, MAYOR
HENRY F. WINTHROP
1. PUBLIC HEARING: Recommended 2011-2012 Operating Budget
PATRICK KELLEY, Chairman, Newport School Committee, pointed out that there would be a
$456,000 gap in the School Department Budget, even after significant cuts, because of reductions in
State and Federal Aid. He asked that the Council increase the City's allocation by $456,000 to cover
the gap.
Hearing no further comment from the public, COUNCILOR MC LAUGHLIN moved the hearing be
closed. Seconded by NAPOLITANO and VOTED UNANIMOUSLY.
(The hearing was reopened at 6:36 p.m.)
FRANK LANDRY, President, Local 911, AFSCME, said there were 108 members of Local 911 who
have not had a pay increase since 2008. He said there has not been very much communication with
management; and while there have been violations of the contract, the union has filed no grievances
in the spirit of cooperation. He said those proposed to get increases earn a great deal more than the
members of Local 911. He noted that step increases for his members were eliminated, but other
employees who make significantly more money have gotten them. He said the reductions in staff will
result in greatly reduced services at the Police Department; and, if there were to be a catastrophe, such
as a hurricane, the ability ofthe Public Services Department to provide services will be greatly
reduced because the workforce has been reduced by one-third since Hurricane Bob in 1991.
COUNCILOR MC LAUGHLIN moved the public hearing be closed. Seconded by COUNCILOR
WINTHROP and VOTED UNANIMOUSLY.
(Returned to discussion on Personnel Ordinance)
b. Ordinance Amending Title 3, Personnel (Second Reading)
MAYOR WALUK moved the ordinance be adopted on second reading. Seconded by COUNCILOR
WINTHROP.
June 8, 2011
Page 2
MAYOR WALUK moved the ordinance be amended to reflect the changes in the City Manager's
memo of June 7, 2011; i.e., Building Official, Grade 9; City Engineer, Grade 10; Director of
Planning, Grade II; Recreation Administrator, Grade 7, Assistant City Engineer, UT6; and Assistant
City Solicitor for Law Enforcement, $30,000. Seconded by COUNCILOR DUNCAN.
COUNCILOR NAPOLITANO said she had a problem with providing a significant increase of $5,000
for the Assistant City Solicitor position and moved that it be eliminated. Seconded by COUNCILOR
WINTHROP.
CITY SOLICITOR JOSEPH J. NICHOLSON said he had requested the salary increase because the
Assistant Solicitor for Law Enforcement has been asked to take on additional duties above those for
which he was originally hired.
VOTE: In favor - COUNCILORS DUNCAN, MC LAUGHLIN, NAPOLITANO, NEVILLE and
WINTHROP.
Opposed - MAYOR WALUK and COUNCILOR LEONARD.
COUNCILOR MC LAUGHLIN, citing an instance five years prior where there was a change in a
department director's duties and salary without a change in title, which change was never
accomplished because of a lawsuit, said he believed something different needed to occur in the
process.
COUNCILOR MC LAUGHLIN moved funding be removed from the position of Director of
Planning and funding instead be provided for a new planning position at Grade SII. Seconded by
COUNCILOR LEONARD
COUNCILOR WINTHROP, noting that the City Manager had been asked to make recommendations
with regard to the Department of Planning, Zoning, Development and Inspections, said the
recommendation before the Council separates inspections and zoning from planning and development
but retains the Planning Director title. He said he believed the current motion was targeting an
individual, was wrong, and bordered on a violation of the City Charter. COUNCILOR'DUNCAN
said the City Manager clearly outlined the duties of the Planning Director which are very involved
and taxing and he, therefore, would not support the motion.
COUNCILOR LEONARD said she would vote against the Personnel Ordinance in total because of
the trying economic times and because she felt there was very little time to discuss the proposed
changes that provide for upgrades and title changes with very little restructuring. MAYOR
WALUK cited the number of employees for which various departments are responsible and noted that
with the proposed amendment the Planning Director would be responsible for only three; he said he
did not believe the proposed amendment was irresponsible or harsh.
COUNCILOR NAPOLITANO, noting that the salary of the director would be reduced by $10,000,
said she agreed with Councilor Winthrop that the issue has become personal. She made note that
some very large projects were about to be undertaken in the City and said that the number of
employees in a department does not determine the title of director, but rather the responsibilities
June 8, 2011
Page 3
associated with the position. COUNCILOR WINTHROP agreed and said he knew of no large
organization that sets titles based upon how many people are reporting to an individual.
COUNCILOR NEVILLE said she would not support the proposed amendment and would support the
recommendations of the city manager as she believed there had been sufficient time for the changes to
be reviewed.
COUNCILOR MC LAUGHLIN said his proposed amendment was not to deal with a person but
rather with the process and restated his concern that the proposal was similar to a change four years
ago that resulted in a law suit. He invited the city manager to comment.
CITY MANAGER EDWARD LAVALLEE responded that one person, who was present at this
meeting, was being discussed. He said there would be no objection to his recommendation by the
individual, as the person chose not to do what was done four years ago. He said he believed the
current recommendation was professionally correct and the job merits the title of director based upon
the responsibilities and decisions the director makes that have significant impact. He said he believed
the newly proposed change was wrong.
COUNCILOR MC LAUGHLIN withdrew his motion.
COUNCILOR LEONARD said there are professional ways and emotional ways in which to make
change and what was done four years ago did not follow labor laws which resulted in the law suit.
MAYOR WALUK asked if funding was provided for the Grants Writer. CITY MANAGER
LAVALLEE responded there was not.
VOTE on the motion to adopt the Personnel Ordinance, as amended to include the City Manager's
recommendations (with $5,000 for Asst. Solicitor eliminated):
In favor - MAYOR WALUK; COUNCILORS DUNCAN, MC LAUGHLIN
NAPOLITANO, NEVILLE and WINTHROP.
Opposed - COUNCILOR LEONARD.
MAYOR WALUK moved the Ordinance Appropriating Revenues be reconsidered. Seconded by
COUNCILOR MC LAUGHLIN and VOTED UNANIMOUSLY.
MAYOR WALUK moved $700,000 be restored for Fire Department overtime and $10,000 for a part-
time Building Inspector. Seconded by COUNCILOR WINTHROP.
COUNCILOR LEONARD asked if the change would affect the tax rate; CITY MANAGER
LAVALLEE responded it would not because the money would be taken from the fund balance.
The motion was VOTED UNANIMOUSLY.
COUNCILOR NAPOLITANO moved $25,000 be restored to fund the position of Grant Writer.
Seconded by COUNCILOR WINTHROP.
June 8, 2011
Page 4
MAYOR WALUK said he would oppose the motion because he agreed with a suggestion by
Councilor Leonard that the position could be funded on a commission basis. COUNCILOR
NEVILLE said she supported having funding for grant writing but not with its being funded through
the Maritime Fund, as had been proposed. She asked if grant writing could be taken on by the Senior
Development Planner (Economic Development/CDBG) in the Planning Department. CITY
MANAGER LAVALLEE responded that it could. COUNCILOR NEVILLE said it would make
more sense to have the grant writing combined with that position. COUNCILOR LEONARD said
she, too, would not support using the Maritime Fund for a grant writer and said she believed the
position should be funded on a commission basis.
COUNCILOR NAPOLITANO noted that over four years the City paid $100,000 for the grant writer
who brought in $4 million. She said it is a very important position and she did not believe department
directors, with all the responsibilities they have, would have the time to seek and write grants.
COUNCILOR MC LAUGHLIN responded that the Recreation Director had probably found more
money in grants to support recreation programs, but said he recognized that not everybody will be
able to write grants, and supported having the Senior Development Planner provide grant writing
support to the staff.
VOTE ON THE MOTION TO RESTORE FUNDING FOR THE GRANT WRITER:
In favor - COUNCILORS NAPOLITANO and WINTHROP
Opposed - MAYOR WALUK; COUNCILORS DUNCAN, LEONARD, MC LAUGHLIN
and NEVILLE.
THE MOTION TO ADOPT THE ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING REVENUES ON SECOND
READING WITH FUNDING FOR FIRE DEPT. OVERTIME and A PART-TIME BUILDING
INSPECTOR WAS VOTED UNANIMOUSLY.
c. Resolution, re: Omnibus Property Tax Relief & Replacement Act
MAYOR WALUK moved the resolution be adopted. Seconded by COUNCILOR NAPOLITANO.
COUNCILOR LEONARD said she would like the public to be aware ofthe new tax rates: $9.93 per
$1,000 of assessed valuation for residential properties, and $13.76 for commercial properties.
FINANCE DIRECTOR LAURA SITRIN pointed out that it is a 3.8% increase in the tax rate.
MAYOR WALUK thanked the staff for the time spent in preparing and amending the budget. He
said the Fire Department is the biggest cost driver in the budget because minimum staffing does not
work in this community; and, as a result, other departments are taking hits and will not be able to
provide a complete, high level of service. COUNCILOR MC LAUGHLIN agreed. He said the
overtime issue in the Fire Department is not about the personnel, who provide superb service, but
about the process and problems that have evolved. COUNCILOR DUNCAN agreed with Mayor
Waluk's and Councilor McLaughlin's comments and said what the Fire Department is demanding
falls on the backs of those who are being laid off and departmental reductions.
June 8, 2011
PageS
COUNCILOR LEONARD said she regretted the 3.8% tax increase because many people are on fixed
incomes, business is down for the local merchants, and people are out of work.
COUNCILOR NAPOLITANO said she didn't think the comments regarding the Fire Department
were prudent because of on-going negotiations, nor should one union be blamed for the tax increase.
COUNCILOR NEVILLE said she would also like to thank the staff for their work on the budget; and,
citing the need to be respectful, she said hoped that within the next 12 months all contract
negotiations will be settled. MAYOR WALUK responded that when he believes there is a group of
employees, such as the Fire Department, who won't work for the betterment ofthe City, he will speak
up.
The motion to adopt the Resolution was VOTED UNANIMOUSLY.
Resolution, re: Authorizing the Tax Levy
MAYOR WALUK moved the Resolution be adopted. Seconded by COUNCILOR WINTHROP and
VOTED UNANIMOUSLY.

Mill Wharf, June 30, 2011, through September 5, 2011, from 11 :00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
COUNCILOR MC LAUGHLIN moved the application be amended to stipulate it would be for
fourteen days, June 30 through July 13,2011. Seconded by COUNCILOR NEVILLE and VOTED
UNANIMOUSLY.
DAVID LESTER, owner of Sea Fair and managing partner of the Art Newport/Art Fair, provided
background information on the art fairs he has held aboard Sea Fair and said it is a cultural attraction
that would attract a substantial number of visitors to Newport. He said the restaurant and food and
beverages, which would be supplied and served by a local business, Blue Rocks Catering, were to be
provided as a courtesy, and mainly for the exhibitors who cannot leave the boat when the exhibit is
open. He noted that the caterer has a RI Class P liquor license, and he additionally has a State Class
G license. He said the boat is federally licensed as an interstate commerce ship, and he has never had
to be licensed by a municipality before, but he applied for a Newport license to be a good neighbor.
He said that, in addition to the cultural experience, he would be providing jobs for locals and a site for
local fund-raising events.
COUNCILOR NEVILLE asked ifhe would be paying taxes. MR. LESTER responded that he would
and that he had obtained his RI Sales Tax ID number. COUNCILOR NAPOLITANO asked why his
stay would be so long in Newport when in other ports the stay was only for one or two weeks. MR.
LESTER responded that he would like to stay longer because it is one of the few places that is
centrally and geographically accessible. MAYOR WALUK asked if dinner would be served in the
restaurant. MR. LESTER responded that it would not, nor would liquor be served after 7 p.m. unless
there were another special event license issued for the occasion.
CITY SOLICITOR JOSEPH lNICHOLSON, JR.. pointed out that both the Class P and Class G
liquor licenses are State-issued licenses; however, the Council has the authority to place reasonable
restrictions on the Special Event License.
BART DUNBAR, owner of Bowen's Wharf, objected to the granting of the license, stating that the
business would be paying no property taxes.
INGRID MARTIN of Blue Rocks Catering said the ship would not be operating as a bar, and she
would be paying local taxes on the food and beverage sales. She said she did not see how this would
not benefit everyone in town.
June 8, 2011
Page 9
SUE SHELDON, Sheldon Fine Art, objected to the license, stating it was a retail business that would
put local, year-round taxpaying merchants out of business.
MICHAEL JENKINS, representing Bannister's Wharf businesses and marina, said to have the ship
sail into Newport to do business and then sail away is an insult to the year-round merchants.
Following additional discussion, COUNCILOR MC LAUGHLIN moved the license be amended to
have the ship close at 7:00 p.m. and that additional Special Event Licenses would be required for any
openings after 7:00 p.m. Seconded by COUNCILOR WINTHROP and VOTED UNANIMOUSLY.
COUNCILOR DUNCAN said he agreed with those who objected based on the fact that the business
would not be paying property taxes as year-round merchants do.
COUNCILOR WINTHROP said he initially was skeptical of the proposal but now believed it could
have a positive impact on the downtown area. He said he would like to grant the license for the two-
week period to determine the impact it would have. COUNCILOR LEONARD said she agreed with
Councilor Winthrop's comments.
MAYOR WALUK said ifit's determined that Sea Fair has had a favorable impact he would support
extending the license. He said he understands that there is a fear of the unknown, but believed it
could be a positive thing for Newport.

23. Communication #4863/11, re: Agreement for Transfer of Ownership ofthe Newport Area
Career & Technical Center
resolution adopted. Seconded by COUNCILOR WINTHROP.
COUNCILOR LEONARD said at a past meeting there was a motion that the city do its own
evaluation of the building and she didn't think that had occurred. CITY MANAGER LAVALLEE
responded that he and the Public Services Director had met with the School custodial staff and went
over the building evaluation report line-by-line. He said one of Council's concerns had been the $4
million in needed improvements cited in the report; however, a number ofthe improvements have
been made. He said the School Department was asked to request more money from the State for
building improvements, and the State granted an additional $200,000 and removed the requirement
June 8,2011
Page 14
for an elevator. He said it was also stated by the Council that if the State doesn't come through with
the money over the originally-proposed three-year period, the building would go back to the State;
however, the State has now agreed to give the money upon transfer of the property.
COUNCILOR LEONARD, noting that the City has been unable to sell existing, empty school
buildings, questioned why the City would take on another building, and said she wondered why the
State was so anxious to rid itself of this building. MAYOR WALUK said he would support accepting
the building because of vital programs offered in the Career & Technical Center that may be
eliminated by the State if the City doesn't accept the building. COUNCILOR LEONARD asked if
the programs could be moved to another building. PATRICK KELLEY, School Committee Chair,
said they could be moved, but at substantial cost. In response to additional questions from
COUNCILOR LEONARD, he said he did not have the numbers in front of him, but many NewpOlt
students participate in voc/tech courses; and the former school administration building on Broadway
will not be abandoned because it will be used during construction ofthe new elementary school
COUNCILOR WINTHROP said he had no problem with accepting the $13 million building along
with $1.2 million for improvements from the State. COUNCILOR MC LAUGHLIN asked who
would receive the $1.2 million, the City or School Department. CITY MANAGER LAVALLEE
responded that the payment would come to the City to do the repairs.
VOTE ON THE MOTION TO APPROVE:
In favor - MAYOR WALUK; COUNCILORS DUNCAN, MC LAUGHLIN,

COMMISSIONERS
1. Application of Shiva Corporation, d/b/a Downtown Liquors, 202 Thames St., to transfer 100%

CHAIRMAN WALUK moved the stock transfer be approved. Seconded by COMMISSIONER MC

2. Communication from John K. Callaghan, Bellevue Wine and Spirits, re: Newport
Prescription Center, Inc., d/b/a Island Liquors
COMMISSIONER MC LAUGHLIN moved the communication be received and referred to the City
Solicitor for review. Seconded by COMMISSIONER NAPOLITANO.
JOHN CALLAGHAN, owner of Bellevue Wine and Spirits, said that when the City granted the
expansion of Newport Prescription Center's (d/b/a Island Liquors) Class A liquor license, the Council
June 8, 20II
Page 15
was not aware of the involvement of the Haroonian family, doing business under various names,
including Douglas Drugs, which would be illegal since they already have ownership of a Class A
license. He said he was told that five Douglas Drug employees were installing computers at Island
Liquors. He said having Douglas Drug and the Haroonian family involved in Island Liquors is not
only illegal but would put the owners of other package stores out of business, such as his, and Sully's
Beer, Wine & Spirits, Vickers Liquors, Bridge Liquors, and Rex Liquors, all of whom were present to
object to the Haroonian family involvement.
MAYOR WALUK suggested that the City Solicitor review the information to determine if any local
ordinances are being violated.
MATTHEW LEYS, ESQ., representing Newport Prescription Center, Inc., said the Prescription
Center is in compliance with all laws and the rumors are unfounded. He said Newport Prescription
Center has a consulting relationship with Douglas, which is not illegal. COUNCILOR LEONARD
said the City Solicitor would be able to review the information on the website and go to the Liquor
Control Division of the State Department of Business Regulations. CITY SOLICITOR JOSEPH J.
NICHOLSON said he would look into the matter.
KEITH KYLE, Esq., representing Vickers Liquors, Bridge Liquors, Sully's Beer, Wine & Spirit's,
Rex Liquors, and Bellevue Wine and Spirits, commented on a 2004 matter when the Haroonian
family attempted to open a large liquor store on J. T. Connell Highway under another name. He said
the Council denied the license when it was discovered the drawings submitted with the application
stated in small print that they were prepared for the Haroonians. He said he would like the Council at
their next meeting to have a hearing on the matter to explore the Haroonians ownership or
involvement with Island Liquors. CHAIRMAN WALUK said the matter would be dealt with based
upon the advice of the City Solicitor.
DAVID WHALLEY of Newport Prescription Center, Inc., stated that the allegations being made
were all false and he would be happy to answer any questions the Board might have.
The motion to receive the communication and refer it to the City Solicitor was VOTED
UNANIMOUSLY.

COUNCILOR MC LAUGHLIN moved the Council convene in Executive Session in Room #232A,
pursuant to RIGL 42-46-5, "Purposes for Which Meetings May Be Closed... ," Paragraphs (a)(l)
"Personnel Matters"; and (a)(2) "Collective Bargaining or Litigation"; to discuss the pending vacancy
ofthe position of City Manager and the IAFF collective bargaining agreement. Seconded by
COUNCILOR WINTHROP and VOTED UNANIMOUSLY (5-0). (Councilors Leonard and Neville
arrived shortly after the roll call.)
At 6:30 p.m. the Council reconvened in Open Session.
CITIZEN'S FORUM: AARON BUEHLER, 30 Vaughan Ave., a member ofthe Newport Fire
Department, responded to comments made previously by Councilor Duncan comparing a fire
fighter's being in harm's way with someone in the military stationed in Afghanistan, who, Councilor
Duncan said, would be making a lot less money. MR. BUEHLER said in 2004 he spent a year in
combat in Iraq and earned $16,100 more than if he had he been working for the Fire Department
during that time; and a member ofthe Department currently serving in Afghanistan will be earning
$22,900 more than ifhe were working here for the Fire Department. He said the military does not
require payments towards retirement and health care; and one serving in combat receives military
pay, family separation pay, hazardous duty pay, housing, etc. He said everyone is aware ofthe
military men and women putting their lives on the line in combat; however, it should be noted that 85
fire fighters died in the line of duty in the US during the past year and he believed it was fruitless and
argumentative for Councilor Duncan to compare the two. He said comments such as Councilor
Duncan's serve only to harm attempts to have the City and union come together in resolving issues.
ANNETTE BOURBONNIERE, 33A DeBlois St. (Chair of the Accessibility Commission) said she
appreciated being able to attend the council meeting as a "regular citizen" and not separated because
of the lack of accessibility of the Council Chambers. She said she hoped the Council would
periodically hold meetings at Thompson Middle School until City Hall is completely accessible.

a-6) Kitt Kites, d/b/a Newport Kite Festival; Brenton Point State Park July 9 and 10, 20II,
from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
COUNCILOR LEONARD said she had received a letter from the Castle Hill Association,
representing 85 homes in the area of Brenton Point, as well as e-mails and telephone calls from
residents, all in opposition to the Kite Festival. She said concerns from last year include a person
directing traffic with vulgarities on the back of his tee shirt, campers illegally parked in the park
overnight, all kinds of items being sold in the park, and cars illegally parked everywhere, all of which
made for chaos in the neighborhood. She also made note that five members ofDEM were observed
at the park, but some spent the day in their air-conditioned trucks until DEM was notified.
RON KITT, applicant, responded that people camping had nothing to do with the Kite Festival, those
working at the Kite Festival wore staff shirts, staff personnel parking cars wore orange shirts, and the
person directing traffic with vulgarities on his shirt was not part of his organization. He said it is a
family-friendly event. He said he had only two vendors last year, Del's Lemonade, and a tent giving
out free food and kites. He said a financial institute that was a sponsor ofthe event was also giving
out free information. He said two speakers are placed in the far field and used for those who fly their
kites to music. CITY MANAGER EDWARD LAVALLEE noted that events occurring within the
park are under the control of the Department of Environmental Management, while parking
enforcement outside the park comes under the jurisdiction ofthe Newport Police Department. He
noted that the Police Chief has recommended two detail officers be hired for this year's event.
COUNCILOR NAPOLITANO said she had attended the event the last couple of years and was
shocked at what she saw last year-about 20 vendors, which made it look like a flea market. MR.
KITT responded that it would have been up to DEM to regulate that and noted that parking
management and staff are in the park during the festival. COUNCILOR LEONARD stated that Mr.
Kitt needed to hire DEM enforcement officers to keep things under control. MAYOR WALUK said it
would be unfair to have an event sponsor responsible for everything that goes on it the park; rather,
DEM should be addressing the problem. MR. KITT said he had paid last year for aDEM
enforcement officer. He said the weather durin%last year's event was not that great and questioned if
the events that occurred were actually on July 4
t
Following additional discussion, MAYOR WALUK moved the license be granted subject to two
detail officers being hired for traffic and parking control, the speakers' being faced towards the ocean,
and a list of vendors being provided to the City. Seconded by COUNCILOR NAPOLITANO.

Communication from Susan Cooper, Recreation Director, in support of the
request.
COUNCILOR MC LAUGHLIN said a neighbor of the park had asked if people using the park are
required to properly clean up after their events. CITY MANAGER LAVALLEE, noting that
Recreation Director Susan Cooper had sent a letter of support for this event, said that she had
indicated that there have been some litter problems resulting from large families and gatherings and
other informal uses of the park because of the limited number oftrash barrels; however, with city-
approved events all trash is removed from the park.

WALUK said he was also concerned about public access as this would limit access to the Pier. He
said he would like a contract in front of the Council before voting on the matter. COUNCILOR

administration. MAYOR WALUK disagreed, stating there first should be a contract to review. CITY

1. PUBLIC HEARING: Aquidneck Island Reuse Planning Authority Recommendation-
Navy Hospital
a. Communication #4868 from the City Manager, re: Navy Hospital-AIRPA
Reuse Plan Recommendation (with accompanying resolution)
b. Resolution ofthe Town of Middletown endorsing the plan of AIRPA for the
conveyance and reuse of Navy surplus lands in the Town of Middletown.
WILLIAM CORCORAN, JR., of the Newport Redevelopment Agency said the plan had been
reviewed extensively by the Agency and it is their recommendation that, in addition to there being an
economic benefit conveyance, there also be a public benefit conveyance, which would include two
acres of land for a public park and the three acres of submerged land for a marina or public use. He
said the economic development conveyance would be a collaboration between BRAC and the City so
that the City could get funding at a reduced rate and when the City sells the land, the proceeds would
be shared with BRAC. He said it would also give the City control over the use of the property.
COUNCILOR MC LAUGHLIN moved the public hearing be closed. Seconded by COUCILOR

MAYOR WALUK moved the licenses be approved. Seconded by COUNCILOR WINTHROP.
COUNCILOR DUNCAN said he could not support the licenses because the activities are in direct
competition with local businesses and it would be setting a precedent.
DAVID LESTER, owner and CEO of SeaFair/ArtNewport, thanked the Council for granting the two-
week trial period. He said the food and beverages, provided by a local caterer, are an amenity to the
HELD JULY 13,2011
Page 4
art exhibit and on an average day less than 50 alcoholic beverages have been sold, and an average of
12 to 15 lunches, most of which are purchased by exhibitors. He asked that the Council allow him to
continue through the summer. He said in addition to the caterer's Class P liquor license, he had
received a Class G from the State of RI because the purpose of the ship is interstate commerce.
CITY SOLICITOR JOSEPH 1. NICHOLSON, JR., pointed out that the State Department of Business
Regulations controls the Class P and Class G liquor licenses; however, the City has jurisdiction over
Special Event Licenses and the ability to impose reasonable conditions.
COUNCILOR NAPOLITANO said she had a problem with granting the licenses and questioned why
the applicant, who at other locations stays only three or four days, wants to remain all summer in
Newport. She said she had heard from many ofthe downtown businesses that have been struggling.
She asked how the business makes money if it is not from food and beverages. MR. LESTER
responded that the business's profit is made through the rental of exhibit space. He noted that it is
part of a global network of trade fairs, and he was not here to skim business from the local merchants.
He said Newport was chosen because it is centrally located and a great place for people to visit.
BART DUNBAR, owner of Bowen' s Wharf, said SeaFair is competing with him because he also
rents space and pays over $150,000 in taxes. He said it is not a level playing field and would be
precedent-setting.
TONY GILL, owner of an art gallery on Bowen's Wharf, said May and June were record-breaking
months for his business, but if the SeaFair is allowed to remain it will put him out of business.
ANNETTE BOURBONIERRE, Chair, Accessibility Advisory Committee, asked ifSeaFair were
accessible because e-mailsshehadsentwentunanswered.MR. LESTER responded that every effort
would be made to accommodate everyone who wants to board the ship.
SARAH GILL, gallery owner on Bowen's Wharf, said she has reviewed all the information, and
asked how many of those visiting the ship are paying since there appear to be free boarding tickets
everywhere. She said Newport does not need more visitors in the summer and suggested the ship
come in September or March when more visitors are needed. She said her business would not survive
if SeaFair remains for the summer.
KAREN ROARKE of Middletown, member of the Arts & Cultural Alliance, said she has had the
opportunity to exhibit on board SeaFair and, while she did not have many sales, it was very gratifying
as it brings out people from all over and gives local artists great exposure. She said SeaFair is
drawing people downtown, it is a cultural event and the plank should not be pulled up.
STEPHANIE SCHMIDT said she understood the perspectives of the local businesses and restaurants
because the cost of infrastructure improvements must be borne by the residents and year-round
businesses.
BARBARA FENTON, 8 Dennison St., spoke in favor the licenses. She said the art work is what one
would see in major cities and she believed that because it is a new and innovative concept it has
people concerned; however, the City should not be stuck in the past.
HELD JULY 13,2011
PageS
GEREMIE CALLAGHAN, owner of Fluke Wine Bar & Kitchen, said SeaFair should visit in
September or March because she didn't believe Newport could handle 300 more visitors a day, which
would increase traffic congestion.
MARTHA MARIE GROGHAN, owner of a small business, said SeaFair has enjoyed the benefit of a
Special Event License in Newport for two weeks; but allowing the ship to remain through the summer
goes beyond the scope of a Special Event License.
TINA DOLEN, 58 Washington Street, said, given the size of the ship, it should be in New York as it
does not fit well with the charm of Newport.
COUNCILOR WINTHROP said while he would propose an amendment, he was baffled with those
who say more people aren't needed in Newport and pointed out that it is the business of the NBCCVB
to bring in visitors. He pointed out that if Mr. Lester was conducting his business on land he could
have gotten a Transient Trader License at a cost of $350 for three months and without having to
appear before the Council. He said given the number of days the ship would be here he would be
paying five times that amount with the Special Event Licenses. He also noted that Parascondola and
Casey's marinas are receiving significant rental money, 40 people have been employed, sales tax is
being paid, and a local business is operating the food and beverage aspect.
COUNCILOR WINTHROP moved the license be amended to allow operation from 1:00 p.m. to
10:00 p.m. for the art exhibit, and from 1:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for food and alcohol, with the
restaurant to close by 7:30 p.m. Seconded by COUNCILOR NEVILLE.
COUNCILOR MC LAUGHLIN pointed out that the amendment would expand the operation of the
restaurant. MR. LESTER said the restaurant closes at 3 p.m. except for private parties.
COUNCILOR WINTHROP withdrew his original amendment and moved the license be amended to
provide that sale of alcoholic beverages stop at 8:30 p.m., with other provisions on the application
remaining the same. Seconded by MAYOR WALUK.
MAYOR WALUK spoke in support of the amendment. COUNCILOR NAPOLITANO spoke in
opposition.
VOTE ON THE MOTION TO AMEND:
In favor - MAYOR WALUK; COUNCILORS LEONARD, MC LAUGHLIN, NEVILLE,
And WINTHROP.
Opposed - COUNCILORS DUNCAN and NAPOLITANO
COUNCILOR MC LAUGHLIN said it is inequitable because laws were not in place when the ship
arrived that would address a seasonal license. He said SeaFair provides an opportunity to try
something different and he did not believe that it would cause more harm than good. He said it would
attract visitors who won't be out arguing on the street with the police at I :30 in the morning. He said
if SeaFair brings in 300 people a day, they would be people who are going to spend money and
contribute to the local economy.

I. Connnunication from CRMC, re: Notice of Intent to change the management plans,
policies, procedures and regulations. (Receive)
COUNCILOR LEONARD noted that the communication was received on June 10
th
, after the June
22
nd
docket had been published, and calls for a written response by July 12'h. She said there is a
significant change which she did not support with regard to "Redbook" Section 300A-Recreational
Boating Facilities, C.2, whereby the CRMC Executive Director or the Deputy Director will make a
determination as to whether or not an application would go before the full CRMC.
COUNCILOR LEONARD moved that the city administration send a letter to CRMC requesting
longer periods of time in which to respond to these notices so that the Council would have an
opportunity to review proposed changes and, if wananted, submit written responses. Seconded by
MAYOR WALUK and VOTED UNANIMOUSLY.
k. Communication from The Valet Connection, Inc., asking permission for a second valet
podium on Thames St., between South Baptist St. and Dearborn Street (No. 485 -
NoA94 Thames St.; cunent podium located at 509 Thames St.). (Approve subject to
details being worked out with city administration.)
CITY MANAGER EDWARD LAVALLEE commented on his memo to Council asking that the
originally-approved plan for valet parking be undertaken before any expansions are granted. He
pointed out that the new plan would eliminate parking spaces on Thames Street. Discussion on the
use of the Emmanuel Church parking lot followed, wherein CITY MANAGER LAVALLEE said the
Church has been renting out spaces, as do other churches; however, that use needs to go before the
Zoning Board for approval before it can be approved by the Council.
MAYOR WALUK moved that the communication be withdrawn at this time. Seconded by
COUNCILOR NAPOLITANO.
COUNCILOR MC LAUGHLIN said the idea of valet parking is to facilitate people getting to and
from businesses and the City should do everything possible to help the business because it will get
cars offthe street.
The motion for withdrawal of the connnunication was VOTED UNANIMOUSLY.
I. Communication from Robert M. Silva, Esq., transmitting petition of St. Clare Home to
improve and expand its facility by amending Section 17.08.010 of the Zoning
Ordinance, "Definitions" to add "Convalescent Homes and Rest Homes," and
amending Section 17.100.040 of "Development Standards" to add Paragraph E.
HELD JULY 13, 2011
Page 7
(Receive, refer to Planning Board, and order advertised for hearing at August 10, 2011,
council meeting)
MAYOR WALUK, noting that State Law and the City Code require that the petition be forwarded to
the Planning Board, moved the communication be received and the petition be forwarded to the
Planning Board, and the proposed zoning amendments be advertised for hearing on August 10, 2011.
Seconded by COUNCILOR WINTHROP.
COUNCILOR DUNCAN objected, stating that the Zoning Board had spent a great deal oftime
reviewing a similar petition and made a decision to deny the changes based on the merits of the law.
He said it would be up to the applicant to now go to Superior Court to appeal the Zoning Board's
decision, not to come before the Council.
COUNCILOR LEONARD said the petition is problematic and wrenching. She said she knows the
importance ofSt. Clare's Home; however, the proposed language would affect all three convalescent
and rest homes in Newport that existed before 1976. She said that while she empathizes with St.
Clare's, this process is not following the rules as she knows them. She said if St. Clare's had come to
the Council before going to the Zoning Board she would not be bothered by the petition; however,
now she believed it should go to Superior Court on appeal.
ROBERT LOBECKER said his daughter owns a house on Dennison Street and there are 50 abutters
who are opposed to the expansion of St. Clare's. He said the petition before the Council is a clear
attempt to end-run the Zoning Board's decision. He said they all want St. Clare's to stay, but they
just want it to be smaller than what they are proposing.
CHRISTOPHER BOYLE, ESQ., Chair of the St. Clare's Advisory Board, said that based on the
Zoning Board's denial of the petition they could file an appeal to Superior Court; however, they have
been advised that it could take one and one-half to two years in Superior Court, and longer ifit goes
to the Supreme Court. He said St. Clare's doesn't have that time because of financial constraints. He
said St. Clare's has been a part ofthe community for 80 years and has never before asked for
anything; however, they now need relief or they will not survive. He asked that the Council
participate in helping to keep St. Clare's, and made note that bringing the petition before the Council
was a proper process because any citizen has the right to petition for a change to the ordinance.
COUNCILOR LEONARD responded that she would like to see ifthere could be assistance in getting
the matter expedited in Superior Court because she believed that would be the correct process.
ATTORNEY BOYLE said he would address that issue when it comes before the Council.
KRISTYN MEADE said the neighborhood was opposed to the expansion as it would be spot zoning.
BARBARA SIMMONS said it would be wrong to not stop the process here because she believed it
would be allowing St. Clare's to go through the back door.

August 10,2011:
In favor - MAYOR WALUK; COUNCILORS MC LAUGHLIN, NAPOLITANO,

m. Communication from Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. re: Draft Technical
Memorandum Horizontal Curve Review, 205 Ocean Drive (Receive and refer to city
administration)
COUNCILOR LEONARD spoke on behalf of the property owner's request to have the pole removed
by his driveway at 205 Ocean Ave., noting that she had been advised that there have only been two
accidents in the past few years and both were during daylight, so the streetlight had no bearing on
public safety. She said she would like the administration to take this under advisement and provide a
recommendation at the next council meeting. MAYOR WALUK suggested it be by resolution.
COUNCILORMC LAUGHLIN moved the communication be received. Seconded by COUNCILOR
NEVILLE and VOTGED UNANIMOUSLY.

MAYOR WALUK moved the license be approved, subject to the conditions imposed by the Zoning
Board. Seconded by COUNCILOR WINTHROP.

restrictions. COUNCILOR LEONARD said she was not opposed to the expansion as long as the
zoning board restrictions are monitored.
The motion was VOTED UNANIMOUSLY.

NEWPORT, Ri 02840
The Hon. Mayor & Members of the City Council
Newport City Hall
Newport, RI
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
August 1,2011
I would like to thank you and the City of Newport for your kindness in hosting the Morgan V.
Group last October. The height of our three day week-end was a Concours d'Elegance that saw
50 antique Morgans (led by Officer Kevin Parsonage) drive slowly through town from the Best
Western Hotel to the back garden of The Elms. Last year was the 32
nd
year for our annual
national club event ... which we call "AutumnMog". Last year we held the first day of the
weekend events in Charlestown R.I. at Ninigret Park. Our annual Friday Autocross customarily
attracts 20 to 30 vehicles from New England, NY, NJ, PA, MD and VA. But you might not
know be aware that Ninigret Park has been dug up this past year and the old runway was planted
with Maple trees. Accordingly the Morgan club must find a suitable parking lot of reasonable
size in which to hold our Friday Autocross (September 23
fd
).
Last years success and popularity for the AuturnnMog event has led us to once again bring our
three day annual members meeting back to Newport. Friday night we will have dinner at Le
Forge and we are holding our Concours d'Elegance on Saturday at IYRS. Our Grand Banquet
will be at the Best Western Hotel where the majority of the attendees are staying. On Sunday we
will be at the National Museum of American Illustration. In fact you may see all ofthe details of
the weekend at our web site www.morgan34.org.
By way of planning, we have worked for the past two years with Jen Pitt at the Newport County
Convention Bureau. When we received the notice last week from Charlestown regarding
Ninigret Park, Jen suggested that we talk to Eric Reise. Once I explained the actual event to Eric
he suggested that the East Parking Lot at First Beach would be ideal and upon checking his
calendar said that the East lot is available on Friday September 23
fd
Eric suggested that I contact
you.
Accordingly, the Morgan %Group would like to request the use ofthe East Parking Lot ofFirst
Beach for our annual Autocross from 9:30 AM until 4:00 PM on September 23
fd
. This is an event
where we bring in an official from the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) to set out a tight
course with orange cones and the drivers must drive the course without knocking over a cone.
The cars reach a top-end speed of no higher than 25 to 30 miles per hour.
In the interest of safety we would like to hire Officer Kevin Parsonage (if available) for
area Security. This is a "closed event" and we would not allow the general public onto
the confines ofthe East Lot (albeit people can watch from a distance). We also will have
an EMT vehicle and crew on-site during the event.
The club has had this event every year for the past 16 years and we have an unblemished
record as driving safety is a major concern for us and in fact is the reason for the
Autocross (as a driver training exercise). The club operates as a not-for-profit and carries
a substantial liability insurance policy which I will be happy to send along upon your
request ($3 million per year; $2 million per event). And we will be happy to provide any
references that you may find helpful. In Newport we have worked with Ivan Colon at the
Newport Mansions organization (401) 847-1000 x 139; James Mecray at IYRS (856)
455-5676; and Lis DaCruz at the Best Western (401) 849-9880 Ext. 185. They as well as
Officer Parsonage and Jen Pitt could give you a solid understanding of the Morgan club.
If permission is granted, we would arrive at the lot at 9:30 AM on Friday September 23,
2011 and would be gone by 4:00 PM.

Dear Mr. LaVallee, Please find enclosed 1) a photo of the right rear tire of our
2000 Nissan Altima. The tire and hub cap were damaged due to the construction
work being performed in our neighborhood at the beginning of June by National
Grid. The exact location was at the base of Russell Ave. just before Malbone Rd.
Please also find 2) a copy of the invoice for the replacement of the damaged tire.
It was a small gash but it was on the sidewall and that cannot be corrected, it had
to be replaced. I am hoping you can help us with getting this resolved. I can be
reached anytime by either phone (401) 418-0121 or via email
kevin@premierpm.biz or kpc21856@gmail.com
I would like to thank you in advance for your attention to this matter

To whom it may concern,
I
I
J
My name is Stephanie Knightly and I have been a resident of Newport, Rhode Island for three
years now. I am writing this letter because my car was towed on Narragansett Ave on July 28, 2011. I
park on this street everyday because I work at the bottom ofNat1'agansett Ave at the real estate agency,
NewpOlt Rents. I have a parking permit which also allows me to park in sticker designated areas and I
have never had an issue parking here before.
When I got out of work around 4 pm my car was gone and a women came up to me and told me it
had been towed. I asked her why my car was being towed and she pointed to a moving truck that was
outside of her house and said I had parked in a "Temporary Tow Zone". I then looked for signs indicating
this and the only one I found was taped to the sidewalk in an inconspicuous manner. As you could see
from the pictures this sign was taped to the ground on the passenger's side of my car. Since I park here
every day I wouldn't think to walk around my car to look at the ground for a sign indicating NO
PARKING. In addition, there was a pole about 10 feet in front of the sign that was taped to the ground
which I also took a picture of. If the sign that was taped to the ground had been taped to the pole it would
have been in a spot that was visible.
I also looked up Rhode Island's statute for temporary parking signs. In the, Rhode Island Code,
( 31-21-15 Temporary No Parking) it states "In the event that the state or any municipality creates a
temporary parking ban in a given area, any signs within that area allowing parking shall be covered in
such a manner that the lettering on the signs shall not be visible, provided that, the provisions of this
section pertaining to the covering of signs need not be complied with during any snow emergency or
other emergency, or when the state or municipality is conducting any street sweeping or other
maintenance activities." I The sign on the pole in the photo, which indicated sticker parking was
pelmitted, was not covered in this manner.
The total amount in fines was $161.00. I inserted a copy of the receipt from the towing company
as well as a $25.00 ticket that was placed on my windshield. I would like to be reimbursed for both
charges because they were issued unlawfully. I appreciate you taking the time to review my case and I
look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you,
Stephanie Knightly

Michael O'Hare came into the station to report a public fall with injuries. Mr. O'Hare reports that he was walking
in Market Sq. when he stepped onto a small man-hole cover that was not properly secured. Mr. O'hare reports
that the man-hole cover flipped up and his left leg slipped down inside the hole.
Mr. O'Hare provided Newport Hospital paperwork showing that he suffered a foot sprain, knee sprain and has
follow -up appt to determine if the fall caused further damage to an already pre-existing condition.
Mr. O'Hare states that he did call the NPD to make them aware of the loose man-hole cover and sought medical
attention on his own for his inj uries two days later, after icing and resting at home.
I check ofthe dispatch log for 5/28/11, does note a can for that date and time. 11-10224 in which an officer
responded to check on the condition of the manhole cover.
Copies of all hospital paperwork have been scanned into images. Mr. Ohare reports that he did have a friend take
pictures of the cover and he will provide those photos to the NPD as soon as they are available.

C ~ l I o ~ l'llQ1WP"
On Tuesday, July 26 I was coming to work in Newport. I was on Touro Street heading north toward the
intersection of Spring Street and Touro. I crossed over Spring Street and was just onto the other side of
Touro and hit two storm grates in the road at the corner of the intersection. I immediately heard a
noise and I determined I had blown a tire. The road is quite bumpy and the grates are extremely uneven
and raised above the blacktop at the intersection of Touro and Spring. My right rear tire hit both of the
grates and I got a flat. They are very dangerous to drive over. That road is also narrow. The cars
coming south down Touro are supposed to stop on the white line to give cars turning up onto Touro, or
coming up Touro on the other side of the street room, but they do not stop on the line, they pull right
up to the corner of the intersection, making the road even more narrow for cars to travel in both
directions. I pulled my car on to High Street to check out my tire and sure enough I had a flat in my
right rear tire. AAA came and put the spare tire on the car for me. I was late one hour to work. The tire
had two cuts in it.
I brought the car to be serviced directly after work. It was determined that the tire could not be
repaired; it was damaged beyond repair, thus, needed to replace the tire. I am writing to request
reimbursement for the tire. I am enclosing a bill for the new tire, and, photos of the grates in the road,
and of other bumps/holes in the road where the flat tire occurred. I am lucky that the rim on the tire
did not sustain damage from the flat tire.
I would appreciate being reimbursed promptly for the damaged caused to my tire.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Enclosures

WHEREAS, He, whose name is Love, has lovingly commanded us: "I give you a new
commandment: Love one another" [John 13:34]; and,
WHEREAS, the ancient Roman poet, Virgil, has versified: "Since Love conquers all, all
must yield to Love" [i.e., Omnia vincit Amor; et nos cedamus Amari. - Eclogues, X]; and
WHEREAS, this motto, likewise, is emblazoned upon the Newport / Amor Vincet Omnia
City Flag, because Roger Williams, writing in 1658 explained, "... since there is so
much sound and noise of purchase and purchasers, I judge it not unseasonable to declare
the rise and bottom of the planting of Rhode-Island in the fountain of it: it was not price
nor money that could have purchased Rhode-Island. Rhode-Island was obtained by love;
by the love and favor which that honorable gentleman Sir Henry Vane and Myselfhad
with that great sachem Miantinomi."; and,
WHEREAS, the biblical commandment, the poet's verses, and the Newport Flag's motto
direct us to love one another and yield to Love, as our paramount concern for every
minute of every hour, every hour of every day, continually, every day of every year of
our lives; and,
WHEREAS, that we love is as essential as that we live; so much so, that living and
loving become one the more our human nature fulfills itself in goodness; and,
WHEREAS, goodness is present everywhere, when we have eyes to see how Love
conquers all; and,
WHEREAS, guided by Love we obtain the serenity to accept the things we cannot
change, the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference;
and,
WHEREAS, the serenity, courage, and wisdom flowing from Love, bringing us to
understand the meaningful unity of beauty and truth; and,
WHEREAS, the unsurpassed beauty and truth of our fair City of Newport becomes
meaningful through our Newportant love, loving the beaches and the Bay; loving the
Cliff Walk and the Ocean Drive; loving The Breakers and The Elms; loving the Hunter
House and the White Horse Tavern; loving from the Atlantic shoreline to Farewell Street,
and from Newport's Colonial origins to Newport today and Newport tomorrow; and,

WHEREAS, , the greatness of our fair City-by-the-Sea, nestled on her Island of Peace,
can only properly be comprehended by our ever-growing love for her, expressed in our
loves for one another, and by our comprehensive loves for all her children, our very dear
sisters and brothers of past, present and to come.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, as we are well persuaded by these convincing
reasons of the justification for dedicating a special day to joyously commemorate
Newport Love, it is resolved that the Newport Love Day Embassy of the Newportant
Foundation, hereby, empowers Doctor Love to issue and proclaim this Love Day
Proclamation: In the name of Love, therefore, and since there is no higher authority, we
hereby proclaim, Friday, July 29
th
2011 as the Thirty-Fifth Annual Newport Love Day,
traditionally celebrated in keeping with the spirit and sentiments of this proclamation and
as every individual sees fit, however one may be moved by his heart's desire.
Henceforth, let Newport, Rhode Island be known as the Cradle of Love Day, which we
dearly hope shall become a festival for all the world to share: our World Lovolution Day.
Lovolution Now! Bring it on! All for Love and Love for All!
Thus empowered and resolved, Doctor Love urges and enjoins all within hearing of
his voice: Love one another always, and love Newport all the time all the days of your
lives. Love will prevail in all ways, days after days after days. Celebrate love day with
someone you love. And, may your heart fill with gladness when you look upon the
eloquent flag of Newport: Our "New Glory of Love" flying over the town, proclaiming:
"Amor Vincet Omnia", meaning "Love Conquers All"; and Newport Love Day shall
demonstrate to all: "Love reigns supreme! Love is King! Love is Queen! Long live
Love!"
Lovingly proclaimed by George Brian "Doctor Love" Sullivan, Ph.D., Amorior.

Docket Item- Noise Ordinance Amendments
At the July 27
th
Council meeting, Council approved a recommendation to modifY language in the noise
ordinance that will eliminate an overlap in the times specifying noise level limits. In the current language
of the ordinance a one-minute overlap appears at times specifying a change in' the permissible noise
levels. The correction will eliminate the time overlap.
The Council also deferred another change concerning the application of "narrow band" sound. By
definition, the Ordinance specifically limits noise levels for this type of sound, and distinguishes it from
other conventional noise levels. The original recommendation to the Council was to apply this narrow
band sound standard to noise emanating from air conditioners.
) Subsequent to the drafting of the recommended Ordinance change, the staff was advised to research air
conditioner manufacturers to determine whether the application of the narrow band sound limit would
conflict with conventional air conditioner noise output specifications; the concern being that the City may
be considering a permissible noise limit reduction that is unreasonably low relative to the manufacturers'
design specifications. Aside from the question of applying the noise output specifications for air
conditioners, challenge has been raised concerning the appropriateness of applying the narrow band noise
standard to air conditioner noise. The challenge purports that the specific sounds emanating from air
conditioners does not satisfy the conventional definition of narrow band sound. The staff has been
provided with a report of an engineering study conducted in Newport that distinguishes air conditioner
noise from that meeting the criteria of narrow band sound. The specific property at which the engineering
study was conducted is 68 Ayrau.\t Street. Noise emanating from air conditioners at that site was
analyzed by an acoustics engineering firm and determined not to satisfy the particular sound wave
characteristics of narrow band sound. The staff will further research the issue to corroborate the recent
study. In the interim, no changes should be made to the current ordinance language concerning narrow
band sound, and the narrow band sound standard should not be applied to air conditioner noise unless
future research contradicts the current acoustics engineering report.

Docket Item - 205 Ocean Avenllle - JRequest for Removal of Streetlight/Pole
At the last City Council meeting, the Council granted approval for a modification to the existing utility
pole and street light abutting the property at 205 Ocean Avenue. The administration was authorized to
work with the applicant to resolve the details of an alternative plan. The applicant had engaged a traffic
engineering consultant and from the finding of the consultant's study proposed to remove the light pole
and replace it with an estimated ten traffic directional and warning signs. The proliferation of signage on
Ocean Avenue having been raised as an issue in recent months, the applicant's attorney and staff met to
consider other options. Both parties agree that a plausible solution is to relocate the existing utility pole
to the opposite side ofthe street, thereby removing the pole and light glare from the applicant's property
but retaining the illumination of the roadway provided by the streetlight.
It is understood that the applicant will pay National Grid for the cost of relocating the utility pole. The
applicant's attorney, Dan Prentiss, will confirm this plan with his client and proceed with a petition to
move the pole. I have asked Mr. Prentiss to keep the City informed of progress. Also, the Public Services
Director is in contact with our National Grid liaison to facilitate initiation of the work

Award of Contract - Broadway Street.cape Final De.ign Phase
Paige R. Bronk, PlanninglDevelopment Department Director
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a not to exceed contract award of$357,656.45 to The Louis Berger Group, Inc. for final design services for the
Broadway Streetscape Project.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The Broadway Streetscape Preliminary Design phase was successfully completed in 2010. A Council Workshop was
conducted in November 2010. The Project proposes streetscape improvement upgrades to the road surface, curbing,
pedestrian crossings, sidewalks improvements, and lighting to the benefit of businesses, residents and visitors. There has
been strong public support for this effort to date. Funding has been allocated to both Preliminary and Final Design
phases. The City has been proactive in strategically financing and managing the project to leverage federal and state
construction financing. There have been positive discussions with RIDOT regarding this proactive approach. In
preparing for such construction funding, the City is satisfying RIDOT design specifications.
This project is being coordinated by staff from Planning/Development and Public Services Departments. A Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) was distributed to solicit proposals from qualified design firms for this final design phase. A
Qualified Based Selection (QBS) process waS used to select the preferred team. Seven (7) firms responded and three (3)
were "short-listed" and interviewed. Staff used criteria to evaluate the teams; the evaluation summary is attached.
Ultimately, The Louis Berger Group, Inc. (LBG) and their three sub-consultants were selected as the preferred team.
The sub-consultants include Gates, Leighton & Associates, Antonio Franco & Associates, and BL Companies, Inc.
The project "Scope of Services" and budget for the final design has been refined through discussions between staff and
the LBG team. The "Project Schedule" illustrates a 10 months timeframe, but with a 90% design submittal made to
RIDOT in 8 months. During the design process, there will be ongoing communication with RIDOT for staged design
reviews to ensure the product satisfies RIDOT standards and specifications. RIDOT has reviewed the Preliminary
Design and has agreed to work closely with the City on this next phase. The budget has included costs for this ongoing
communication and review with RIDOT. In addition, RIDOT required an "underground survey exploration" which has
been included to the budget at a cost of $39,000. LBG will be using the road survey provided by RIDOT,. but some
"spot" measurements may be required as needed. Further analysis for the shared bike use within the corridor has also
been added to the project.
This final design phase includes the development of Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) for review and
procurement, the RIDOT advertising process, and coordination/review of bid construction submittals.

RE: Request for Qualifications "QBS - Broadway Streetscape # 11-054 "
Final Design Scope and Fee Schedule
Dear Mr. Bronk,
July 14,2011
On behalf of the Louis Berger Group Team, I want to thank you and the other members of your committee for
retaining us as the preferred consultant for the final design of the Broadway Streetscape project. Enclosed herewith
is the final detailed scope of work together with the associated fee schedule.
We have provided the level of effort as well as the costs for all of the tasks that were included in the Request for
Qualifications, with some additions/clarifications noted below. We assume this contract will be a "not to exceed
limitation" as defined in the attached scope and fee and will consist of only two submissions (90% and P.S.& E.) to
the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT). We have recently received the Topographic Survey for
this section of Broadway that was completed by Garafalo & Associates (Garafalo) for RIDOT. It contains a
sufficient amount of detailed information and we therefore have only included hours for some minor field work
where additional grades may be required. We also note that no "property boundary" survey was perfonned; however
we are in agreement that no property acquisitions/easements should be required. If this is not the case, we would
expect that RIDOT (at their expense) would direct Garafalo to perfonn this task. Otherwise, we would have to
amend our contract to use Garafalo as a sub consultant to us for this work.
At a recent meeting with RIDOT, they requested the City perfonn a very intensive Underground Survey Exploration
to detennine any underground conflicts with our proposed design. The cost fOr this work is included in our attached
proposal. Completive prices were requested from three qualified firms. Only two responded and we are carrying the
price for the less expensive of the two.
We have also added a new Task to the scope to revisit the bicycle movements as presently "shared" with the
roadway. This will also include consideration of alternatives to the angled parking that will include a new concept of
"backing in" to the angle parking spaces.
This Proposal will remain valid for a period of sixty (60) days from this date and thereafter until withdrawn, or a
contract is executed, or the procurement is terminated by the City of Newport, whichever occurs first. Our Vice
President, Aboud Alzaim, P.E. is authorized by The Louis Berger Group, Inc. to negotiate contracts and to bind the
company contractually.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at jcapaldi@louisberger.com or (401) 415-9441, or Aboud J. Alzaim at
aalzaim@louisberger.com or (781) 707-7444); if questions arise or if additional infonnation is required.
We are available to discuss this proposal at your convenience and remain eager to begin the work on this project.
Very truly yours,

STATEMENT OF SERVICES
Broadway Streetscape Improvement Project #11-054
Newport, RI
Scope of Services for Final Design
July 2011
The Scope of Services to be provided by the LBG Team includes professional engineering
and landscape architecture services for the preparation of complete Plans, Specifications,
Estimates and Contract Documents for advertising for bids, based on the approved City of
Newport preliminary/feasibility analyses, plans and related documents dated November,
2010. The detailed Scope of services for Gates, Leighton and Associates Antonio P. Franco
& Associates are attached to this Submission. Also attached is the Scope and Fee from DGT
Survey Group - Providence, Rl; and Underground Surveying, LLC - Danbury, CT, who
submitted costs to perform the Underground Survey. AEI Subsurface from Warren, Rl did
not submit a quote as they were too busy to accept new work. We are carrying the price
from Underground Surveying, LLC in our proposal as they submitted the lowest cost.
This Final Design process will be in accordance with standard RlDOT practices and
guidelines for Federal Aid STP funding, as applicable. The existing plans and documents
mentioned above will be transmitted to RlDOT requesting their acceptance as a 10%/30%
submission and requiring only a 90% and PS&E submission. This Scope of Services has
been divided into the following tasks:
Task - Comm1iD RSq]lI.Ioreml!mts
The LBG Team will attend a start-up meeting with the City of Newport to discuss the City's
design guidelines, project schedule and other project related issues. The LBG Team will
evaluate all outstanding issues with the City, such as the location of and type of all
crosswalks and Bus stops; the resolution of the alternatives proposed at Dunkin Donuts; the
expectations 'for improving water quality; finalizing the choices for the landscape and
streetscape alternatives; finalizing the hardware details for the new lighting poles; and
reviewing the intersection improvements at Lower Broadway with Stone Street and the
additional turning movement concerns of Stone Street with Spring Street as discussed at the
Council meeting on November 9, 20 IO.
As noted in the attached WBS Template provided by RlDOT there are 4 (four) main
elements to the scope of work. They are Final Desiglll (30%, 75% & 90% Combined),
PS&JE, Advertisi/l1lg !li/l1ld Post DesiglII.
During the Final Design process the LBG Team members will be responsible for Project
Management; Wetlands and Water Quality issues; StOlID Water Management and Design;
Utilities Coordination; developing Highway and Traffic Plans and with submissions at the
30% and 90% Stage; providing a Right-of-Way submission (mainly for temporary
easements); and preparing a 90% set of Contract Documents, Specifications and Estimates.
During this phase the LBG team members will develop the final landscaping and lighting
designs and details. We will also coordinate all work through the City of Newport officials,
meeting occasionally, especially prior to submissions to RIDOT.
The PS&E Phase is the "final" submission, just prior to advertising for bids, which will
include the final disposition of all comments from the City, RlDOT (and their Consultant if
required), the FHWA and any other regulatory agency.
The Advertising Phase involves assisting RlDOT as the project internally moves from the
Design Section to the Contracts and Specs Section, where the project will be coordinated
with the Rl Department of Administration for eventual award to the lowest responsible
bidder.
It is understood that the City has initiated coordination with RIDOT for project funding.
Building on this initial coordination, LBG can represent and advocate for the project,
especially through the TIP process where it is anticipated that the City may need to make a
presentation to the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) in order for the existing
funding for Broadway to be increased significantly to successfully build the project as
envisioned and designed.
Task 2 - fisHID1
We have recently received the Topographic Survey for this section of Broadway that was
completed by Garafalo & Associates (Garafalo) for RlDOT. It contains a sufficient amount
of detailed information and we therefore have only included hours for some minor field
work where additional grades may be required. We also note that no "property boundary"
survey was perfonned; however we are in agreement with the City that no property
acquisitions/easements should be required. If this is not the case, we would expect that
RIDOT (at their expense) would direct Garafalo to perform this task. Otherwise, we would
have to amend our contract to use Garafalo as a sub consultant to us for this work
Task - lSu!>suriac<!! IEJ(piClwatimli
RlDOT will require a very intensive underground Survey exploration to detennine any
conflicts with the proposed design. This will require a special sub-consultant with
experience in this field and with RlDOT work. Proposals were requested from three Sub-
Consultants, as noted in the Scope of Services above, based on the following scope of work:
The work to be performed by the utility survey sub-consultant includes verifying and
supplementing the b'asemapping provided I by RlDOT, from the southerly Project
limit at Farewell Street to the northerly Project Limit at Bliss Road. LBG will
provide the sub-consultant AutoCAD dwg file.
For the northern portion of the Project (Cranston Ave to Bliss Road), the sub-
consultant shall review the utility information shown on the basemapping for
completeness and accuracy. Locations of all utility poles, traffic signal hand holes,
loop detectors, manhole covers, pull boxes and water/gas gates shall be confirmed.
Overhead wires shall be shown.
A comprehensive utility mapping for the southerly portion of the Project (Farewell
Street to Cranston Ave), shall be provided. The sub-consultant shall review the
utility infonnation shown on the basemapping for completeness and accuracy,
2
including locations, pipe sizes and materials, duct banks. Locations of all utility
poles, traffic signal hand holes, loop detectors, manhole covers, pull boxes and
water/gas gates shall be confirmed. Overhead wires and underground service
connections/drops shall be shown. Invert elevations to the nearest hundredth of a
foot shall be obtained at all storm and sanitary sewer structures. Record information
shall be obtained from the City Department of Utilities for the storm sewer, sanitary
sewer and water systems and the applicable private utility companies with facilities
within the Project limits, including but not limited to electric, cable, telephone and
gas. Depths of cover shall be obtained for the water main, gas main and all other
underground utilities that are present. Test pits and/or vacuum excavation shall be
performed as necessary to verify depths.
Lastly, the sub-consultant shall verify the presence of abandoned trolley tracks
within the roadway in the Project limits. If present, the tracks should be located and
approximate depth of burial shall be provided.
Deliverables: The underground survey sub-consultant shall provide an AutoCAD
.dwg file (1 :20 scale) containing all of the information required above. Copies of all
record information obtained shall be provided.
1 < l J $ ~ <4 - lBocj,lc!@ "SlhiBlw@dJ lllli'i@" iBli'iil1 AIili9JH@ lfl'<lJwHdi'iSJ
We have added a new Task to revisit the bicycle movements as presently "shared" with the
roadway. This will also include consideration of a new concept of "backing in" to the angle
parking spaces. Meetings will be held with local officials and stake holders as well as
RIDOT. A separate report will be prepared that will present the alternatives with
recommendations.
T<lJsk 5 utility CO>lJ>wc!oi'iaticm
LBG will form a liaison with private and public utility owners to insure a smooth
advancement of this project toward construction; we would expect that the City, State and
Federal agencies will want us to insure that all planned utility work is made in advance or
during this project. The objective is to ensure that no planned utility work will be
performed on newly constructed pavement or sidewalks within a five year period from the
project's completion.
l<lJsk { Project Scll'Bedlll!@
At the start of the project, the LBG team will develop a detailed formal project schedule of
activities from inception through project completion. The schedule will be developed in
consideration of input from the City of Newport and RIDOT and will serve as a guide to
tracking the progress during each task. A detailed Progress Report will be submitted
monthly for the project, outlining the various activities performed, dates of meetings
attended, dates of submissions made, and dates of receipt of project material as applicable.
The progress report narrative will also clearly identifY items that are pending resolution that
may impede progress on the project.

underground facilities or may fail to accurately identify their location.
Accordingly, there is no guaranty or warranty, express or implied, that all
Underground Facilities will be located or that their location will be
accurately identified.
Client understands that readings from underground utility detection
equipment are subject to environmental factors such as variable soil
conditions, presence of groundwater, thick concrete pavements,
reinforcing steel, and other factors. Due to these factors, general sweeps

August 2 2011
At the July 27, 2011 Council Meeting, docket item 4877/11, Broadway Streetscape Final Engineering
Plan, was continued to the August 10, 20II meeting. The purpose of the continuance was to allow time
for the City staff to provide a depiction of the preliminary engineering streetscape plan as it currently
exists. Specifically, details are sought on the resolution of design options discussed at previous workshops
and work group sessions, including:
@ Inclusion in the streetscape design of a bike path, and its relationship to angular parking spaces
for vehicles;
m Reconfiguration of traffic flow on Broadway south of the intersection at Marlborough x
Broadway, to become one-way south;
o Improvement of street lighting to convert existing lights or add new decorative/historic lights;
o Addition of bump-outs and other traffic calming features; and
e Use of rain gardens and other methods of reducing the impact of storm water run off.
These and other aspects of the project were presented in conceptual form and open to discussion at
previous public work sessions. Attached herein is a memorandum from Planning Director Paige Bronk
summarizing the status of the project. As noted in his report, much of the project components and
specific determination of inclusion of some optional items are at the conceptual stage at the completion of
the preliminary engineering phase. During the final engineering work decisions regarding the inclusion,
modification, or deletion of these elements will be discussed and finalized. Among the criteria that will
impact those decisions are: safety, aesthetics, cost, continuity, and environmental considerations.
In summary, the product of the preliminary engineering phase is a conceptual plan that identifies some
essential program elements and a list of optional inclusions. The final engineering phase will begin with
consideration of the conceptual plan as a work-in-progress. Some of the optional elements are cited in the
attached memo as Preferred Alternatives; which is to say that at this point those elements are included in
the conceptual layout but not mandated components of the plan. These elements are subject to further
analysis and refinement, and final determination as to their inclusion in the project. There will be
continuing opportunity for public review and comment on the project elements.

Overview:
The Preliminary Design Phase was finalized in 2010 for the Broadway Project. The streetscape project limits are
from Farewell Street to Cranston Avenue. In addition, the paving of this roadway would include this distance
plus be extended north to Bliss Road. The effort included multiple public meetings including guidance from the
"Advisory Committee." The Committee consisted ofBroadway merchants, residents, a City Council liaison, and
the AARP. Also, there were two public input meetings heldplus a Council Workshop.
Broadway is a major north-south urban arterial connecting points north to the center of Newport. The roadway
primarily has one lane in each direction, with on-street parking on both sides. Through the project limits, the
adjacent land uses are primarily commercial to the south and a mix ofcommercial and institutional to the north.
Major landmarks in the project locus include Newport City Hall, Thompson Middle School, St. Joseph's Church,
First Presbyterian Church, Newport Police Department, Cranston-Calvert Elementary School, Equality Park, and
Congdon Park.
This corridor is the most trafficked central artery leading to Newport's downtown. This transitional portion of
Broadway extends the city northward toward residential and extended commercial districts. Northern Broadway
presently has no dramatic transition, no strong sense of arrival, no clear message that one is entering one of the
most historically significant cities in the country. Metropolitan quality, pedestrian friendliness, and self-identity
have been sacrificed to accommodate motor vehicles. Initial project goals were as follows:
~ Improvements at crosswalk locations for enhanced pedestriansafety.
~ Maximization ofon-street parking capacity.
" Sidewalkamenities including decorative paving, street furniture, and plantings at optimal locations.
" Potential conversion of Broadway to one-way traffic flow southbound between Marlborough and
Farewell.
.. Replacement/augmentation ofcobra head lighting withhistoric pedestrian-scale fixtures.
.. Reduce pedestrian/vehicular conflicts on Broadway sidewalks by modifying curb cuts to reduce vehicular
and pedestrian conflicts.
.. Widening sidewalks at select points for sidewalk cafes, pedestrian amenities, and bike racks
Preferred Alternatives:
The process considered and reviewed various options and alternatives. The corridor was divided into three
subareas including "SouthernBroadway", "Mid-Broadway", and "Northern Broadway." Attached are the design
iroages illustrating the preferred alternatives for each snbarea. In general, the preferred alternatives include the
following elements:
" Narrowed automobile travel lanes and intersections to slowtraffic and increase pedestrian safety.
~ Strategically relocating crosswalks proposing some to be elevated.
" Combination ofdiagonal and parallel parking withnet increase offive spaces.
.. Proposed different road snrface (design and color, stamped surfuce) for parking areas to differentiate
visnally from automobile travel lanes and bike areas.
~ "Sharethe road" bike areas betweenparking and travel lanes onboth sides ofroadway.
.. "Bump outs" at key locations for traffic calming and pedestriansafety.
" One way travel lane south from Malborough to Farewell.
" Expanded "greenareas" particularly at intersection ofMarlborough and Broadway and at Equality Park.
August 2, 2011
.. Eliminated bus pull-offs to maximize pedestrian space and automobile parking.
.. Reduced width ofextremely wide curb cuts at some commercial locations.
With the guidance ofthe "Advisory Committee", it was understood how critically important it was for all of the
alternatives studied to incorporate the maximum possible parking spaces. This was successfully accomplished
while still providing for the streetscape elements necessary to "calm" the existing traffic flow, without any
deterioration in level of service. Certain portions of Broadway's width, especially near Dunkin Donuts, were
determined to be unusually wide. As a result, the roadway width and orientation was realigned to significantly
improve pedestrians' convenience and safety.
There was strong support for the new "one way" traffic flow from Marlborough to Washington Square. Also,
there was a re-design ofthe Marlborough/Broadway intersection to reduce the high speed right turns. This design
concept also provided reduced crossing distances for pedestrians and opened up areas for aesthetic, streetscape
and water quality enhancements.
The preferred alternative re-aligned, redesigned, relocated and/or removed the existing crosswalks. Some were
proposed to be elevated and some remained "at grade". Concerns from the Frank E. Thompson Middle School
were addressed by relocating the two crosswalks closest to the school to better accommodate students walking
from nearby neighborhoods.
Newpedestrianscale lighting options were recommended afIer completion ofa lighting feasibility analysis. A
retrofit to the existing systemis possible which would satisfy lighting standards. Replacement ofthe Cobra head
lighting with a substitute would be required to satisfy aesthetic lighting concerns.
Final Design Considerations:
The Preliminary Design Phase successfully addressed many desires. However, more design needs to be
accomplished including the following:
.. The relationships of a bicycle travel lane, especially as it operates adjacent to the angle parking. This
includes gathering and reviewing all ofthe information available on a relatively newconcept of"backing
into" angle parking. A report will be prepared on the advantages, disadvantages and safe operation, and
stakeholders will be engaged.
.. Investigate the location of the existing utilities, especially the vertical location of the Trolley Tracks.
There were public comments requesting that we "flatten" the center ofthe road to reduce the rather steep
slopes of the angle parking. This would improve safety and have improved pedestrian and aesthetic
advantages.
.. RlPTA' s interests and principal concerns have been addressed, but they need to be fully engaged to
address the remaining issues withthe Bus Stop locations, including shelter types and access.
.. The public strongly supported changes to the existing lighting. The Preliminary design presented
alternatives that would light the sidewalk area as well as the roadway and possibly the raised crosswalks
using "historical" standard types. Due to the high construction cost, the next phase will analyze National
Grid's new "historically compatible" options to see ifthey can accomplish our goals. Funding support
from RIDOTmay allowmore flexibility ofchoice during final design.
.. Proposed areas for landscape, streetscape and water quality enhancements need to be designed
considering the resources necessary for proper maintenance.
.. Project success as perceived by the public will require the inclusion ofsome landscaping. Plant selections
will minimize the need for repetitive maintenance including watering. However, all landscapes will
require some care. During the preliminary design process, numerous property owners and business
August 2, 2011
owners within the project area were engaged in discussions of"adopting" and caring for plant materials,
weeding, etc. The City's Arborist has also been engaged inthe process.
Storm water quality improvements were added as a concept in the initial phase, but more detailed designs
need to be refined for "rain gardens" and "bio-filtration" and how they can be incorporated into the
project innew"green areas" and possibly at "bump out" locations.
RIDOT comments and questions as a result of the future engineering review and analysis plus fue
underground utility survey.
Estimated Project Costs and Funding:
Cost estimate for Broadway Streetscape Project from Washington Square to Cranston Avenue
(includes paving of Broadway, sidewalks, stormwater, utilities, landscape, hardscape and
lighting) = $3,099,620
Cost estimate to cold plane and overlay pavement from Cranston Avenue to Bliss Road =
$394,380 .
Total Estimated Project Construction Cost =$3,494,000
The State has allocated $1.25 million to date for the paving portion of the proj ect through the
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Additionally, RIDOT has been working with the
City to secure additional funding. RIDOT recently applied on the City's behalf for Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) (Transportation, Community and System Preservation -
TCSP) grant funds. RIDOT provided a letter (see attached) that indicates their intent to construct
this project, once designed, pending available funding.
Additional construction funding includes Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and
"Safe Routes to School" grant funding.

National Grid Pole Request
365 Thames Street - New Pole # 31
The Planning and Development Department has reviewed the request and offers the
following comment.
365 Thames Street - New Pole # 31 The Department does not have any issues with the
placement of this new pole. This service would serve the new Transient Boater Facility
at the Armory. The Rhode Island Historical Preservation and Cultural Commission
(State Historic Preservation Office) governs the property through historic easements.
Although underground service would be preferred, the Commission will not allow a pad
mounted transformer on the front of the building. Other property locations are not
feasible for a transformer due to floodplain concerns and also required clearances. The
installation of the new pole on Thames is the best option to serve the facility's electrical
needs.

RE: National Grid Application - Thames Street - service to Transient Boater Facility
This petition involves the addition of a utility pole to provide service for the Transient Boater
Facility that is housed within the basement level of the Armory Building. The new pole is located
between Ann Street and Brewer Street and has been located at the corner of the church parking
lot and the adjacent building. Upon inspection, this appears to be the least intrusive iocation for
its placement. Natlonai Grid indicates that underground service would require street level surface
pad mount transformers and switch gears be placed within the plaza area located within the front
of the Armory building; however, it appears that the State Historic Preservation Officer objects to
this type of installation due to its negative impact upon the historic structure. These surface pad
mounted transformers and gears need to be appropriately located to provide regulated
ciearances to structures etc which would likely require block walls and or fencing to surround
them similar to the most recent similar installation that serves the 41 Degrees North property.
Although underground facilities may be preferred in concept, it appears that the pole installation is
the least obtrusive to the area. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me
at your convenience.

Award of Bid # 12-003 - Water Division Meter Read Laptop Computer
Kenneth R. Mason Deputy Utilities Director - Engineering
The Department of Utilities Water Division recommends the award to Stiles Company Inc., Norwood MA, for the
purchase of one (I) mobile meter reading system laptop computer for a total of $13,650.00. Funding for this computer is
from the Water Division FY 2012 Capital Improvement Plan.
The Newport Water Division has converted its billing system in which all quarterly customers receive their bills in July,
October, January, and April. This conversion requires all accounts to be read in a short window of time in order to make
sure water bills are processed and delivered in a timely fashion. Based on this workload, a more powerful laptop
computer is required, in lieu of the equipment the Water Division currently utilizes. The current handheld computers are
used on a daily basis by the meter department for the installation and maintenance of the meters in the system however
they cannot efficiently handle the amount of data required to be collected for the quarterly billings. The handheld
computers will only hold enough data for approximately 650 accounts. This laptop computer will enhance the ability of
Water Division meter personnel to read all 14,500 accounts within the prescribed timeframe and will also be needed
when the Water Division converts to a monthly billing system at some point in the future. The laptop is a "toughbook"
computer which also includes the Badger ORION Reading system software, which is proprietary software required for
the radio read system.
The City solicited sealed bids for the purchase of the mobile readiug system laptop computer for the Water Division
Customer Service department. Only one (I) bid was received on July 15, 20 II and was initially quoted at $21,000.00.
This quote was recognized as over the amount budgeted for the equipment and as allowed under State Law Chapter 45-
55, Award of Municipal Contracts, City staff negotiated a lower price for the unit at $13,650.00.

Ordinauce Ameudmeut - 20 mph Speed Limit - Thames Street from
Poplar Street to Marlborough Street
Staff Presentation:
RECOMMENDATION:
Modify the ordinance governing speed limits to reduce the speed limit on Thames Street, beginning at the northern
terminus (intersection of Thames Street and Poplar Street), and proceeding south to the intersection of Thames Street at
Marlborough Street. The current speed limit is 25 MPH. The recommendation is to reduce the speed limit in the affected
location to 20 MPH
Traffic studies have been conducted in the upper Thames Street area during the past year. The City's ITC has entertained
several reviews of traffic-related issues and neighborhood groups have appeared in various public forums to discuss
concerns related to traffic density, speed, and vehicle weight restrictions. Reviews by the ITC and City administration
agree that reducing the speed limit by 5 MPH will increase safety, slow down traffic, and reduce noise.
