THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES COUNCILOR CLEMENTE.

 

With majority consent of the Council, the following motion made by Councilor Clemente, seconded by Councilor Grebien, is PASSED on a unanimous voice vote:

 

The Clerk is instructed to send a communication to Craig Stenning, Executive Director, Division of Behavioral Health Care, Department of Mental Health, Retardation and Hospitals, regarding the property located at 278 High Street in Pawtucket.

 

The City Solicitor and Councilor Clemente met with representatives from the Department of Mental Health, Retardation and Hospitals and a representative from the Office of the Attorney General several months ago to discuss the feasibility of turning this property over to a local organization to rehabilitate the property for housing.

 

At that time the Council was informed that the plans were set for a residential drug treatment program facility for women, and that this was final.

 

The Council is in receipt of a letter from Gerald J. Coyne, Deputy Attorney General outlining the development of this property.  This seems to be in conflict from what the Council was told several months ago.

 

The Council is asking for the following information:

 

1.   When will a final decision be made for the property at 278 High Street in Pawtucket?

2.   If the property is not used for a substance abuse rehabilitation treatment program facility for women, will there be a consideration given for local groups originally interested in acquiring this property?

 

The Council has major concerns regarding this boarded up building, as it is a target for vandals.

1.   How did the state acquire this property?

2.   What is the City of Pawtucket’s role?

3.   Any information as to which State agency is making the determination for the future of this property.

 

 

028   Communication from Mario H. Gonzalez, requesting a change in the d/b/a name of his Auto Repair Shop and Second Hand Shop Licenses at 192 Pine Street from Price Right Auto Sales & Repair to Liberty Auto Sales & Repair, is READ AND ORDERED FILED, and the request to change the d/b/a name from Price Right Auto Sales & Repair to Liberty Auto Sales & Repair, is APPROVED on a unanimous voice vote.
