Nick Lima, Director of Elections outlined the legal process for Canvassing Authority appointments. He spoke in favor of Kirk McDonough’s re-appointment.

 

Ken Hopkins, 157 Kearney St. responded to the docketed letters from the Council President relative to his absence from the state. He prepared a written response as well. He noted that he does not report to the City Council. He did inform the Council President, at a ribbon cutting, that he would be taking a vacation. He was able and did perform his duties as Mayor for the duration of his absence. There was no violation of the Charter. He requested that his letter be accepted into the record if the Council President’s letter is.

 

Robert Murray, 21 Garden City Dr. is in attendance on behalf of Byran White, relative to the Resolution authorizing the abandonment of a portion of Elmhurst Ave. He cited three previous resolutions for abandonments adopted by previous City Councils using the same process; approval was granted subject to administrative subdivision and easements.

 

Nicole Renzulli, 54 Massachusetts St. criticized Council President Marino’s sponsorship of the Resolution celebrating Black History Month given the allegations of her treatment of former Councilwoman Germain.

 

Alan Muoio, 460 Natick Ave., owner of Northeast Mulch Service is in attendance. He provided Council with a packet of photographs. He is happy to answer questions.

 

VII.            RESOLUTIONS

 

RESOLUTION Requesting the Administration and City Council Celebrate Black History Month in Cranston Throughout the Month of February; Sponsored by Council President Marino, Councilman Buonanno, Councilwoman Haroian, Councilman Andujar, Councilwoman Graziano, and Councilman Ritz  (vote may be taken)

 

The following Council members asked to be added as sponsors: Council Vice-President Wall, Councilman Traficante, and Councilman Campopiano.

 

Council President Marino expressed pride in sponsoring the resolution. The matter referred to by the disgruntled ex-Council member was vetted by the RI State Police. The allegations are false. What was represented this evening is shameful.

 

MOTION made by Council Vice-President Wall, SECONDED by Councilman Campopiano to approve the Resolution. Ayes – 8 (unanimous)

 

RESOLUTION Commemorating the 181st Anniversary of Dominican Republic Independence on February 27, 2025; Sponsored by Councilman Andujar, Councilwoman Haroian, and Councilwoman Graziano  (vote may be taken) [click to view]

 

The following Council members asked to be added as sponsors: Councilman Traficante, Council President Marino, Councilman Buonanno, Councilman Ritz, Council Vice-President Wall, and Councilman Campopiano.

 

MOTION made by Council Vice-President Wall, SECONDED by Councilman Traficante to approve the Resolution. Ayes – 8 (unanimous)

 

MOTION made by Council Vice-President Wall, SECONDED by Councilman Buonanno to take the agenda out of order. Ayes – 8 (unanimous)

 

The next item to be addressed was Council President Communications:

 

From Council President Marino: Mayor – Mayoral duties and notification of absence in compliance with the City Charter

 

Council President Marino offers no apologies for her letters. She is sorry for the Mayor’s unwillingness to communicate. The language in his letter is disheartening. The agenda item is about city business. The Mayor did mention his vacation at the ribbon cutting but did not indicate when or for how long he would be gone. She joked at that time if he was going to be away for more than ten days to let her know. City employees and the public inquired. She referenced the provisions of Chapter 5.07 of the City Charter which require written notice. The protocol observed in her first term was that the Mayor sent a letter to the Council President, which was then shared with the other members. That has changed since the time she has become Council President.

 

Solicitor Millea disagrees with a number of points in the Council President’s letter. The last time Section 5.07 was addressed there were no texts, cell phone use was limited, there was no zoom. The Mayor was in contact with his staff daily. He designated his Chief of Staff, in writing. There is zero mention in the Charter that any member of Council must be notified. There is a separation of powers issue. The Mayor is the Executive branch. The Council is the Legislative branch. The letter is misplaced and a moot issue. The Mayor had every ability to perform his duties.

 

Council President Marino pointed again to Section 5.07. The issue may be moot, but it matters going forward. If the Mayor communicated, this would not need to be discussed.

 

Councilman Traficante feels the Council has more important business matters to conduct. He suggested calling a draw, and the Mayor notify the Council in the future. If either letter is entered, they both should be. Both sides have been heard.

 

Councilman Buonanno believes this section of the charter may need review. With a lot more ways of communication, the Mayor can perform his duties while out of state.

 

Council Vice-President Wall agrees. The Mayor was absent. There were ways to communicate this. There was a lack of communication. We need to work out the protocol to prevent this discussion in the future. There should be some type of communication.

 

Solicitor Millea agrees the charter section should be reviewed. It was written before cell phones and laptops. The first sentence of 5.07 refers to the Mayor being temporarily unable to perform his duties. Vacation is not listed as a reason. The voters approved this language in the charter. It is up to the voters to change it.

 

Council Vice-President Wall reiterated it comes down to communication. Even if it is not required, it is not unreasonable.

 

Councilman Ritz is not in support of the Council President’s letter. He is concerned with setting precedent. A lot is unclear. He feels this should have been handled in private. If the Council President’s letter is entered into the record, the Mayor’s letter should be entered as well.

 

Councilman Campopiano has an issue with reference in the letter to “sources from outside the office”. That’s hearsay; conjecture. This could encourage future vindictive letters.

 

Director Moretti had no intention of speaking. He is disgusted people felt the Mayor would retaliate. That is not the Mayor’s character. It is propaganda. He disagrees the Council President was uninformed. He received a text message asking when the Mayor would return, which indicates she had direct knowledge he was away. Voting the letters into the record will only add fuel to the fire. As explained by the Solicitor, the charter provision applies if the Mayor is unable to perform his duties. It’s been proven he did perform his duties. He testified that he interacted with the Mayor daily. He attested that the Mayor was able and did perform his duties. The executive branch ran flawlessly.

 

Council President Marino recalls the text. She was informed the Mayor would return Monday. He did not return until Wednesday. This is about the decency of communication. The lack of respect and the Mayor’s letter are disgusting and grandiose.

 

No action was taken.

Council President Marino wants to be sure the property is not within 200 ft of the school.

 

The City Clerk advised the Assessor’s map would have indicated if it was. They would not have accepted the application. She also confirmed the Letter of Good Standing was received on 2/21/2025.

 

MOTION made by Councilman Traficante, SECONDED by Councilman Andujar to approve the new BV Liquor License, over the cap, for JMMH Corp. dba Ginza Asian Bistro. Ayes – 8 (unanimous)

MOTION made by Councilman Andujar, SECONDED by Councilman Traficante to approve the new BV Liquor License, over the cap, for Ming’s Asian Street Food, LLC. Ayes – 8 (unanimous)

 

C. Report from the Chair, Councilman Wall, on the FINANCE COMMITTEE meeting held February 3, 2025: (nothing new to report) (no vote)

 

D. Report from the Chair, Councilwoman Graziano, on the PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE meeting held February 13, 2025:

 

RESOLUTION for Approval of the petition for the ABANDONMENT of portion of Elmhurst Avenue; Petitioner: Bryan D. White; Sponsored by Councilman Campopiano; approved by the Public Works Committee February 13, 2025 subject to “proper easements being recorded in proper way for sewer or utilities” (vote may be taken)

 

Council President Marino was not at the Public Works meeting. She did review it later. She wants to correct the representation that Ed Tally said there was no sewer connection. He said there was no sewer easement that he could find. She has some reservations. First, the easements should be fully vetted and properly documented before the property is transferred. There is no reason they can’t be done in advance of the Council passing the resolution. Second, she is not convinced $15,000 is the fair market value for 6,500 square feet. She would like to hear how the city came to that number. Was it the Assessor or the applicant? She will not support passage this evening. She suggests the item be continued 30-60 days to address the issues, especially the easement, which may have a cost associated, which has not been represented.

 

Councilman Ritz suggested approving with conditions due to all the back and forth.

 

Council President Marino disagrees it’s been back and forth. She is representing the city’s interest. She feels 30 days for proper documents is well within reason.

 

Councilwoman Graziano reiterated her original concerns. It would be a disservice to move ahead. She wants Public Works to review the easements. Without them, Council is at a disadvantage. She is advocating for the city staff to be able to do their jobs; to ensure the city has the proper authority to conduct work.

 

Councilman Buonanno referenced the letter from Deputy Tax Assessor, Dave Cole, to Mark Marchesi dated May 3, 2024 indicating the $15,000 value.

 

Councilman Andujar wants to move forward. The Assessor valued the property. We are asking the applicant to incur additional costs when he could be shot down.

 

Council Vice-President Wall voted to move this out of committee but has no problem waiting another 30 days for due diligence.

 

Robert Murray indicated his client, the applicant, has no object to a 30-day continuance.

 

Councilman Campopiano asked if this would need to be referred back to committee if continued. Council President Marino answered no. It would remain at full Council.

 

MOTION made by Council Vice-President Wall, SECONDED by Councilwoman Graziano to continue the Resolution for 30 days, to the March Council meeting. Ayes – 7 (Campopiano, Buonanno, Graziano, Ritz, Traficante, Wall, Marino) Nays – 1 (Andujar)

 

E. Report from the Chair, Councilman Andujar, on the ORDINANCE COMMITTEE meeting held February 13, 2025:

 

01-25-01  ORDINANCE In Amendment of Chapter 17.84 of the Code of the City of Cranston, 2005, Entitled “Zoning” (Change of Zone – Terminus of Caraway Drive); Petitioner/Property owner: Margaret Scaralia; DENIED by a unanimous vote of Ordinance Committee February 13, 2025  (For information purposes only – no vote to be taken)

 

Solicitor Millea advised that despite the fact this was denied by unanimous vote of the Ordinance Committee it still requires a full Council vote. Atty. Angell concurs. This is a direct petition to the Council. The full Council must vote. Solicitor Millea suggested the item be continued to the next regular Council meeting.

XIII.            COUNCIL PRESIDENT COMMUNICATIONS

 

From Council President Marino:

 

•  Mayor – Mayoral duties and notification of absence in compliance with the City Charter [click to view]  (vote may be taken to accept letters into record)

 

This agenda item was addressed earlier in the meeting.

 

•  Update from the Administration and discussion of fire incident at 460 Natick Ave. occurring November 18, 2024 to November 19, 2024; and cause of the fire, fire prevention for future, specific land and business uses at the location; safety and compliance; licensing; and status of inspections  (no votes)

 

Solicitor Millea reported the fire marshal went out. The fire was naturally caused due leaves and branches and dry weather. There are no code issues. The neighbors are not at risk. Mr. Muoio runs a respectable business. The property falls in an A-8 residential zone. It is a legal non-conforming use. They hold a nurseryman’s license from the state. No violations were found during the February 19, 2025 inspection. Some vehicles were noted on the property. He mailed a letter to Mr. Muoio today indicating as long as the vehicles are not part of any other business, there is no issue. They are asking him to certify all his business operations fall within the nurseryman’s license. There is no reason to suspect otherwise. If so, he is compliant.

 

Council President Marino asked if February 19 was the first and only inspection.

 

Solicitor Millea is unsure. Director Moretti asked the inspections department to go out and conduct a current inspection. Whether or not there were previous inspections is a question for Director Rodio. There is very little the city can do to enforce anything that falls under the auspices of the Right to Farm Act.

 

Council President Marino asked if there is a written report available from February 19. She would also like an email confirming if there were any other inspections since the fire and up to February 19.

 

Solicitor Millea confirmed there is a memo from Stanley Pikul. He will provide it to the Clerk to be circulated to Council. He will ask David Rodio and Stanley Pikul to check their records for other inspections. The fire marshal provided a report to the City. He can send that to the Clerk as well.

 

Council President Marino asked what uses were determined. It was her understanding there were multiple uses, such as processing outside materials. She asked if any city licenses are required and if any city licenses are held.

 

Solicitor Millea answered nursery and landscape business, lawn beauticians. Nothing else came to light during the inspection. No licenses are required under the Right to Farm Act. He defers to the Clerk’s office relative to existing licenses.

 

President Marino mentioned a large pile of asphalt on the property. When will that be removed?

 

Solicitor Millea indicated the pile is scheduled to be removed early spring. It is unable to be moved at this time. It is condensed from the cold weather. They are waiting for the weather to break. This was addressed by inspections.

 

Council President Marino asked if the city is required to render a cause of fire to the state.

 

Solicitor Millea defers to the fire department but does not think so.

 

Council President Marino asked what the fire department and city will do to ensure proper oversite of the piles and combustibles.

 

Solicitor Millea noted the Fire Department and Inspections Dept did not raise concerns. We would be treading on dangerous ground. The mulch is being used within the Right to Farm Act. It is a DEM issue.

 

Councilman Campopiano has driven by. The business needs to be a good neighbor. He has witnessed asphalt and multiple trucks. Are all the trucks registered to the business?

 

Council President Marino asked if a license would be required if equipment was being worked on in the large building.

 

Solicitor Millea replied not unless they are operating an autobody or auto repair shop. They are working on their own vehicles, not bringing in other vehicles to fix.

 

Councilwoman Graziano will take the time to review the Right to Farm Act.

 

Council President Marino noted the property is not zoned commercial. It is zoned residential. Commercial use is not appropriate.

 

Solicitor Millea clarified. Anything that does not fall under the nurseryman’s license would not be legal.

 

XIV.            COUNCIL MEMBER COMMUNICATIONS (no votes)

 

From Councilwoman Haroian: •  Budlong Pool Update
