IX.             PUBLIC HEARING – ORDINANCES FINAL PASSAGE

 

A.    An ordinance relating to a onetime adjustment of an excessive sewer consumption charge.

AN ORDINANCE IN AMENDMENT OF CHAPTER 17 OF THE REVISED ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF EAST PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, 1998, AS AMENDED, ENTITLED “UTILITIES.”

            SECTION I.  Section 17-183 entitled “Charges to be based upon water consumption; rate” of Chapter 17 of the ordinances of the City of East Providence, Rhode Island, 1998, as amended, entitled “Utilities”  is amended by adding thereto the following:

            (g)  Upon written request of the property owner, an adjustment of an excessive sewer consumption charge may be approved by the Claims Committee with a review and recommendation by the Director of Public Works, if the request meets all of the following conditions:

            (1)  The excessive consumption must exceed the prior year same period consumption at the property by thirty-three (33) percent.

            (2)  Excessive use cannot be caused by change in use, i.e., added living units or conversion from residential to commercial.

            (3)  If the property was billed for water that did not enter the sewer system during a specific time period, the customer shall provide documentation from a licensed plumber supporting the occurrence and repair of the leak, along with a copy of the paid repair receipt. The customer may also provide additional documentation to prove that water did not enter the sewer system to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works. The average usage for the property will be determined by meter readings.  This average will be compared to the period in question, to establish whether or not an adjustment is warranted. 

            (4)  If the customer is unable to provide documentation as noted in the section above, the adjustment to the sewer consumption charge will be computed in accordance with the following formula:

            Total billed consumption, minus prior year same period consumption, equals excessive consumption. Excessive consumption divided by two (2), plus normal consumption, equals the total adjusted consumption upon which the adjusted sewer consumption charge will be calculated. The calculation will be made using the sewer charges in effect for the billing period in question.

            (5)  The adjusted amount will be deducted from the amount owed if the bill is unpaid or credited to the account if the bill has been paid.  There will be no adjustment of interest charges unless the written request had been received prior to the due date of the bill.

SECTION II.  This ordinance shall take effect upon its second passage and all ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed.

Requested By:  Director of Public Works

Tom Riley 3625 Pawtucket Avenue (02915) with a concern regarding equipment failure, if it is not a leak does this ordinance address the equipment failure.

Lewis Geradis 30 Linden Street (02915) wanting information on why the water and sewer bill can’t be billed separately. 

City Manager Lemont explains the enterprise fund. 

Director Coutu addresses Mr. Riley’s concerns that yes an equipment failure could be addressed by the ordinance.  It would address any situation regarding excessive consumption.

 

Mayor Briden states a misread in the meter would be one where the water did not actually enter the sewer system, subparagraph 3, and the customer would show the water did not enter the sewer system and this is to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works. 

 

Director Coutu states that is correct. The sentence of any additional information provided to the Director of Public Works should cover it. The Water Department can check the meter. They have all the meters suspected of being broken reviewed by a technician.

 

Councilwoman Rossi asked Director Coutu if the ordinance should pass as is then will you be able to address Mr. Riley’s issue?

 

Director Coutu stated he would be in a better position to do so where prior there was no measure of adjustments. Other customers who have submitted claims are waiting for this to go forward.

 

Councilwoman Rossi stated if we pass tonight Mr. Riley, Director Coutu will review and you could come back and let us know if the ordinance was sufficient meanwhile this gives us a jumping off point and if we have to amend it further we can.

 

Mr. Riley was in agreement.

 

A motion to approve the ordinance for final passage is made by Councilwoman Rossi, seconded by Assistant Mayor Rose and on a roll call vote it is unanimous. 

 

B.     An ordinance pertaining to proper care of sidewalks.

AN ORDINANCE IN AMENDMENT OF CHAPTER 14 OF THE REVISED ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF EAST PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, 1998, AS AMENDED, ENTITLED "STREETS AND SIDEWALKS"

            SECTION I.  Sec. 14-43 entitled “Duty of owner or occupant to cut grass” of Chapter 14 entitled “Streets and Sidewalks” of the Revised Ordinances of the City of East Providence, Rhode Island, 1998, is amended to read as follows:

Whenever a paved or improved sidewalk area, or an unpaved sidewalk or any unpaved part thereof adjoining any building or lot of the land on any street, highway, square, or public place shall be overgrown with grass, weeds, or underbrush, it shall be the duty of the owner, occupant, or any person having the care of such building or lot to cut such grass, weeds, or underbrush to a height not exceeding six inches in order that it may be made safe and convenient for the use of the public.  The owner or any other person having the care of such building or lot shall cut such grass, weeds, or underbrush within five days after receiving notice that he is in violation of this section from the chief inspector.

(a)    Penalties.  Violations of this section shall be subject to a written warning for a first offense, a fine of $25 for a second offense, and a fine of $75 for a third and subsequent offenses.

(b)   Whenever the owner, occupant or any other person having the care of such building or lot fails to comply with the notice from the chief inspector within five days that he/she is in violation of this section and the chief inspector determines that such grass, weeds, or underbrush adversely effects the safety and convenience for use of the public, the inspector may order the removal of the grass, weeds or underbrush and assess the whole costs incurred for such removal by imposing a lien on the property as provided or authorized by law for the enforcement of common liens on property.  Such lien will be recorded to ensure payment of such costs.

1.  East Providence Business Fair (by Assistant Mayor Rose)

Assistant Mayor Rose announced he would like the City to host a business fair. Over the past few years businesses close out due to in some part because they were being overlooked. During February/March he would like to see the City, each year set up a meet and greet with local businesses for department heads and citizens to meet new businesses and to give them information on what businesses are out there in the local community which can assist the City.  Assistant Mayor Rose spoke about Standard Hardware, which was a local business that closed. Adding, the City needs to focus on these businesses and this meet and greet can help out the City and the citizens of the City.  He will be working on this over the next couple of months to set a plan in motion for the first East Providence Business Fair.   

 

Mayor Briden commended this as a good idea.

 

2.      Request of Charter Amendment Questions for the Ballot regarding Mayoral Form of Government and Partisan Elections, to be Drafted for Passage by the Law Department (by Assistant Mayor Rose)

Assistant Mayor Rose stated that he would like to have a charter amendment speaking to these two items drafted for the next election.

 

Mayor Briden asked if the two items could be taken as separate votes.

 

Assistant Mayor Rose stated he would like to make a motion to place these questions on the ballot and to send them to the Law Department for drafting of the language of each question separately.

 

Mayor Briden asked if any members of the public wished to be heard.

 

Sandy Barone 12 Weeden Avenue (02916) restated some of her points from the previous meeting where she spoke under Communications on this topic. She added the City would need to address the terms of a Mayor for the questions taking into account the recent Charter Amendment regarding 4 year terms for City Council. 

 

Tom Riley spoke as an individual, not as Chair of the Canvassing Board, against both potential Charter Amendment questions.

 

Julie Silva spoke in favor of the questions being placed on the ballot.

 

Val Lawson, 122 Hoyt Avenue spoke in favor of the questions being placed on the ballot.

 

John Faria, 20 Rowley Street spoke in favor of the questions being placed on the ballot.

 

Alice Martin, 1 Vineyard Avenue spoke in favor of the questions being placed on the ballot.

 

Under discussion Councilwoman Rossi made a clarification to previous comments by the public that regarding how the City ended up in a financial issue in the first place, with a Budget Commission, was due to a severe lack of personnel in the Finance Department. Adding, the City went through 4 directors and nobody knew what was what.  The City had 4 people in a few short years and no one had a firm grip on the finances and that was compounded with politics. 

 

Assistant Mayor Rose makes a motion to have the Law Department draft a question for the ballot, in the form of a resolution, to be passed by the Council for a Mayoral form of government for the next election Councilwoman Rossi seconds the motion and on a roll call vote it is unanimous. 

 

Assistant Mayor Rose makes a motion to have the Law Department draft a question for the ballot, in the form of a resolution, to be passed by the Council for  partisan form of elections for the November 2014 Election Councilwoman Rossi seconds the motion and on a roll call vote the motion passes 4-1 with Mayor Briden voting Nay. 

 

 

3.      Welcoming Businesses (by Councilwoman Capobianco)

4.      5 Year Capital Improvement Plan for School Department (by Councilwoman Rossi)

Councilwoman Rossi stated there was a presentation at the recent School Committee Meeting outlining the 5 Year Capital Improvement Plan adding that this was going to be a Joint Meeting and clearly there is a need to reschedule this meeting or a work session between the Council and School Committee to begin to take a look at the plan.  This meeting should include the Acting City Manager and the Finance Director so that both bodies can look at exactly what the options are.  Councilwoman Rossi requests the City Clerk poll the Council and coordinate with Pat Iannelli on the School Side.

 

5.      Economic Development Plans (by Councilwoman Rossi)

This item was deferred.

6.      Community Event Announcements (by Councilwoman Rossi)

This item was deferred.

Assistant Mayor Rose announced the Memorial Joe Silva Toy Drive and Dinner would be taking place on December 14^th at the Knights of Columbus, 3200 Pawtucket Avenue. This is an annual toy drive and new unwrapped toys or gifts are needed for donation to children ages 0-16 and these toys benefit the Children’s Friend of Holiday Giving Drive 2013 in Memory of Joseph Silva for more information call 434-3556 or email js7950@aol.com.

 

                        D.  Report of School Committee Liaison

School Committee Member Liaison Tony Ferierra spoke stating they have been hosting meetings to inform the public and these meetings are held every other night at various schools.  He urges parents to participate.

Also, he urges the Council to look at the work done in the auditorium at the High School as he is very upset with it. He has requested a list of who is managing the project. The drop dead date for completing the work is December 15^th.

 

Councilwoman Rossi stated the School Department used to have a committee which was a Building Committee and it would go through all the construction.  The Budget Commission disassembled this committee and for 18 months she fought this. She would like to ask the School Committee to put the Building Committee back together and hold regular meetings on a biweekly basis.  She would like to ask Mr. Lemont’s support in this endeavor and that not 10 cents of these checks get written out until there is accountability.

 

School Committee Member Tim Conley states the construction company was awarded $6 million but that this is not enough to make all the repairs.  He shares some of these same concerns. The Superintendent made a change in the day to day management of the facilities and pulled all maintenance staff out and centralized it to the City Garage due to her concerns.  This $6 million is a drop in the bucket for the needs in that building and anything we do is cosmetic. We have been very diligent of the tax-payers money on this project. The reality is the needs of the building are far beyond the funds allotted. When you don't invest in the infrastructure for years this is what happens, we inherited this issue and while he is not pointing fingers they are stewards of a band-aid being placed on a surgical wound. The reality is we need a new high school and if we want to maintain our accreditation we have to show a good faith effort.

 

There is a motion to extend the meeting by 15 minutes by Councilwoman Rossi, unanimous consent is granted.
