2. Chris Ougheltree Lives on the Eastern part of the airport. Air monitor

2

has been moved and should be put in a more westerly site. Winslow Park- concerned about residential parking after it opens on August 1. Was supposed to be only one access on Airport Road. No thru traffic, should be reviewed. Concerned about speeding. How will the City maintain these fields? Hopes there will be bags for animal waste and human trash. There needs to be a neighborhood meeting with the leagues about the noise (announcements and music).

3. Janice Pangman Thanks for RIAC meeting with neighbors. Wants a no thru traffic on Warwick Avenue to Lakeshore. Driveways are being used as a turn around and parking to use the walking path. Many children in the neighborhood. Dangerous. Not happy that Winslow Park is a done deal. Has devalued her property.

Regular Public Hearing Meeting For

June 15, 2015 @


Warwick, RI 02886 @ 7:00 P.M.


Roll Call: 8/0 (Chadronet) Time: 7:05 PM Salute To The Flag: Marie T. Ahlert

Executive Communications General Communications - Marie T. Ahlert, City Clerk - Final City Council Meeting before retiring 1. Councilman Colantuono thanks Council Members for Marching in the Gaspee

Parade and also commends the Police, Fire and Public Works Departments for an excellent job. He was told it was the best parade from a Cranston Councilman. He also recognizes Marie Ahlert for her outstanding job as City Clerk and Thanks her.

2. Council President Travis thanks Marie for being a great employee and friend. 3. Councilwoman Vella-Wilkinson thanks Marie for what she has done for the City,

as an advocate for the Trudeau Center and as an advocate for the veterans of the City of Warwick. Councilwoman salutes Marie.

4. Councilman Ladouceur requests that Marie sing and record the Anthem for the Council to remember her by, and thanks her for her service and direction, responding to emails late at night and appreciates all of the help she has given him.

5. Councilman Gallucci shares with Marie that it has been a long time, since 1993, and it has been his honor and pleasure to support and recommend her nomination for city clerk. and after all these years it has been the right choice. She is acknowledged as running the best City Clerks office in the State.

6. Councilwoman Usler says that Marie was the first person she met after becoming a Council Member and tells how nice Marie is, amazing at her job and wishes her the best in the future.

7. Councilman Merolla tells that for 17 years, Marie has always been right there with a straightforward answer and was very helpful to the Council Members. That her foresight in thinking has not only benefited the City of Warwick, but also the State of RI. The Probate system is commended around the state and other Clerks offices turn to Marie for advice. The City is going to need more than two people to replace her and he wishes her well in her retirement.

8. Councilman Solomon remembers back in 1993, that Marie as a young lady had a thirst for knowledge and Ted Sheehan said she will do well and he was right. Today, she is still a young lady, with a wealth of knowledge that she has shared and thanks her for her services over the years.

PUBLIC COMMENT



b) The topics for comment shall be issues directly affecting City government.

2

c) City Council members will not respond to questions during the public comment period.

d) The public comment session will terminate at the expiration of 15 minutes. Waiver of this provision requires unanimous consent.

1. Don Fife Ward 1 He knew Maries parents after he retired and they were

the nicest people you could meet. Marie had told him to stay out of politics. He wishes Marie well, approaches the bench and presents her with flowers.

2. Roy Dempsey Ward 1 Wishes a good retirement to Marie. He says that a lot of things should be discussed. Employees havent received wage increases in 3 years and they should be allowed. The upcoming increases are not over the board. The tax rate is going up by 3.4% to raise 4 million dollars in revenues, where only 1.4 million is going to compensation. Also pulling 3 million dollars from the surplus which makes it 7 million dollars coming into to the city and only 1.4 going to compensation. The compensation is not causing the citys problems and the employees appreciate the problems that the city is facing and even if the contracts pass that the Council should work with the employees to get the finances under control. Jefferson Solutions, at last meeting addressed debt and we should work together to solve.

3. John Kennedy Ward 1 Jefferson Solutions did a good job with the presentation at last meeting. Buzz words were 20% co-pay, which was used 15 years ago in the private sector which now the buzz word is 35% with a $4000 copay. Zero.00% raise increases in the last 9 years in the private sector. You cant ask people that arent getting raises to pay for other people to get raises. Unless the problem is tackled now, the City is chasing residents away.

4. Jerry DiDonato Ward 1 Thanks the Council for the opportunity to be there. He has some issues with the Warwick Police Department. He had an incident in February of 2012, He was threatened, but was told he could not file a complaint because the Officer did not witness it. Next night, his home was shot, bullet misses his wife and 18 month old grandson she was holding, next night tires slashed, a trail of blood was left. Police took samples, but nothing was done because he was told that the Police did not have that type of database and later told that there was no money to do it. Mr. DiDonato brought suit against 2 individuals. His family is in danger yet the City gives out bonuses. A records clerk was served and did not appear, but then was subpoenaed to appear. The clerk initially did not remember that she was served to appear, but since no records were on file, she did not appear the first time. Did not move forward on contempt charge. Captain Coffey was subpoenaed and appeared at the deposition with many papers in which Mr. DiDonatos name appeared 22 times where he had brought suit against the defendants. The defendants hired private investigator retired Warwick Police Officer Earl Hodson to do a background check on Mr. DiDonato in summer of 2012. During this investigation Mr. Hodson was told that Mr. DiDonato was poisoning dogs in Governor Francis Farms area. The report was given to the Warwick Police Department. The police reached out to the Warwick Beacon in which several articles were published regarding the poisoning of dogs. The police solicited individuals and several complaints were filed against Mr. DiDonato. Nothing was ever found, but the matter at hand is how they went about doing this. The actions from the police department have polarized Mr. DiDonatos family. Eggs have been thrown at his house, car doors have been kicked in due to the fact that people think that he poisoned the dogs. Jerry sent the Warwick Police Department a check for $5000.00 to take a polygraph to rectify the situation. Mr. DiDonato feels that the Police sounded the alarm before the investigation based on an assumption from an individual that they know is a problem.

SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 14 15

Resolved that, 16 17

WHEREAS, the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City of Warwick are 18 matters of paramount importance to the City Council; and 19

20 WHEREAS, the educators, administrators and School Committee members in the Warwick 21 School District hold the public trust and responsibility for professional practices that should 22 demonstrate ethical conduct in the education and treatment of Warwick students; and 23 24 WHEREAS, the citizens of Warwick wholly expect a student-centered school district where 25 children will learn and flourish in a safe, courteous environment that is free from all forms of 26 harassment and bullying from their peers and all adults; and 27 28 WHEREAS, Rhode Island Department of Education Bylaws G-14-2 requires the Local 29 Educational Agency to create a climate of safety, security and belonging for all students and adults, 30 thereby establishing an environment that builds respectful relationships, enhances productive 31 learning and teaching, promotes school engagement and academic success; and 32 33 WHEREAS, protocols have been established to ensure each RI school district conforms to 34 statewide standards while individual administrators, staff and educators do not breach proper 35 boundaries; and 36 37 WHEREAS, the Rhode Island Educator Code of Professional Responsibility emphasizes the 38 requirement to maintain a professional relationship with students at all times, both in and outside the 39 classroom; and 40 41 WHEREAS, evaluation criterion for administrators and educators includes the demonstration 42 of respect for everyone in all actions and interactions; advocating for students best interests; acting 43 ethically and with integrity while following all school district and state policies; and modeling strong 44 leadership qualities while engaging in actions that reflect the values of the district; and 45

WHEREAS, a recently suspended Gorton Junior High School teacher violated temporal, 1 communication and relationship boundaries in addition to prevention of sexual harassment policies 2 with two female students when he drew a picture of a penis on one girl and feces on another. Said 3 action could be construed as child endangerment, could cause emotional damage to the child which 4 could lead to a lack of self esteem, serve to desensitize children to inappropriate conduct between 5 adults and children, encourage instances of sexual harassment, lay a foundation of bullying and 6 name-calling by fellow students and confuse students regarding respectful and socially acceptable 7 behavior; and 8 9 WHEREAS, the Superintendent of the Warwick School District, Director of Secondary 10 Education and Compliance Officer failed to take suitable measures in this flagrant and outrageous 11 violation of State and District policies, including mandatory reporting to DCYF, in further violation 12 of the public trust. This lack of decisive disciplinary action arbitrarily places the teachers needs 13 above the students interests, broadcasts the message that selective inappropriate touching of students 14 and sexualizing the workplace/classroom is tolerated while creating an ethical, respectful learning 15 environment for children is optional. Furthermore, the Superintendents description of said teacher as 16 having an unblemished record is an affront to the entire Warwick School District. 17 18 NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Warwick City Council hereby takes a vote 19 of No Confidence in the leadership abilities of the current Superintendent, Director of Secondary 20 Education and District Compliance Officer for failure to consistently enforce standards and policies 21 designed to ensure a safe and respectful environment for children. There is no confidence in the 22 Superintendent, Director of Secondary Education and District Compliance Officer to take consistent 23 appropriate disciplinary action in instances of sexual harassment/bullying of students by teachers. 24 There is no confidence in the Superintendent, Director of Secondary Education and District 25 Compliance Officer to provide consistent full disclosure to the Warwick School Committee on the 26 misconduct of School District employees that may result in litigation. There is no confidence in the 27 Superintendent, Director of Secondary Education and District Compliance Officer to provide 28 consistent full disclosure to the Mayor of the City of Warwick on the misconduct of School District 29 employees that may result in litigation. There is no confidence in the Superintendent, Director of 30 Secondary Education and District Compliance Officer to present consistent truthful characterization 31 of School District employees. 32 33 The City Clerk is hereby directed to forward a copy of this Resolution to the Members of the 34 School Committee of the City of Warwick. 35 36 This Resolution shall take effect upon passage. 37 38 39 40 SPONSORED BY: COUNCILWOMAN VELLA-WILKINSON 41 COUNCILWOMAN USLER 42 COUNCIL PRESIDENT TRAVIS 43 44 COMMITTEE: INTERGOVERMENTAL 45

Warwick Wastewater Treatment Plant Levee Project Warwick, Rhode Island Pare Project No. 15069.00

___________________________________________________________________________________ Project Progress Update No. 1

The following activities have occurred since receiving notification to proceed:

x On June 5th PARE engineers met with facility staff and representative from the contractor to discuss the project and schedule. PARE and the contractor walked the site and reviewed specific areas of concern, discussed possible solutions, and reviewed the work completed to date.

x PARE engineers reviewed the current permit from RIDOT to facilitate the interface of the north end of the levee with the embankment for Interstate 95. PARE has contacted RIDOT to commence discussions relative to amending the existing permit/

x PARE engineers gathered available reports from previous studies and commenced the development of subsurface profiles and embankment profiles to facilitate design

x PARE received topographic plans and CAD files from AECOM. x PARE contacted RIDEM to continue previous discussions relative to the revised footprint of the levee.

o PARE summarized the problems encountered during installation of the approved fiberglass sheeting floodwall and indicated that the current approach would raise the earthen levee where the sheeting was originally planned to be used. RIDEM was generally agreeable to this approach in light of the problems with the sheeting. PARE discussed the outboard vs. inboard options and RIDEM was generally agreeable with a permit modification if all of the work could be done inboard. If any permanent work is necessary in wetlands or beyond the approved limit of disturbance on the outboard side, RIDEM indicated that a new Insignificant Alteration permit would be needed. While it was agreed that we all would much rather stay away from a Significant Alteration permit, he could not rule out the possibility that such would be necessary. In short, the level of permitting will be heavily dependent on the specific design.

x PARE commenced the development of four typical cross sections; o New Levee Construction along the north side o Raising the existing levee with all fill along the inboard (plant) side o Raising the existing levee with inboard fill and a precast T-Wall at critical locations o Raising the existing levee with cap that includes inboard and outboard fill.

x PARE obtained a copy of the secant wall design for the southernmost clarifier which is an area of concern.

x PARE commenced layout of the levee extension along the northern limits. Currently the alignment can stay within the approved easement from RIDOT, however the administration parking lot and utility pole may be impacted. PARE is continuing design.

Two- Week Look Ahead

x Complete geotechnical review and cross section evaluations x Develop and submit Geotechnical Design Basis Report x Commence review of yard drainage impacts x Commence hydraulic evaluation x Continue communications with RIDEM ad RIDOT

WARWICK SEWER AUTHORITY Quarterly Report to City Council

July 13, 2015 WSA Budget

x See attached line item budget report for FY15 as of May 31st (92% of fiscal year complete). Summary:

o Revenues $20,001,021 (93%) o Expenses $17,449,993 (81%)

x Note that debt service payments are made twice a year (September and April) Major WSA Board Decisions in Last Quarter In April, the Board reviewed WSAs annual sewer usage rate study as performed by B & E Consulting, LLC. No changes to the previously-approved rates were required. The Board also approved up to $6,800 for B & E to review the sewer assessment rate structure and examine various methods for assessing sewer construction costs. The Board passed a Resolution in support of the Citys Comprehensive Plan (see attached). The Board approved numerous purchases, including emergency repairs to chlorine piping ($11,500), replacement of an HVAC unit in the Operations Building ($10,400) and a new plant water strainer for effluent recycling system ($20,899). In May, the Board held a public hearing and solicited comments on the budget for FY16. The Board approved the purchase of an asset management, maintenance and materials software system ($26,325), and a cab and chassis for a new sewer line cleaning vehicle ($112,950). The Board awarded the contract for a new levee design to PARE Corporation for $78,810. The Board also approved a one-year extension of Contract CC (miscellaneous sewer extensions and emergency repairs) with DAmbra Construction. In June, the Board approved several change orders to Contract 91 (see updated summary under Treatment Facility Construction, below) as well as repairs to the sodium hypochlorite storage and delivery system ($39,200). Treatment Facility Operations and Maintenance

x The treatment facility was in full compliance with the WSA discharge permit this past quarter. Flows have been averaging about 4.8 million gallons per day in 2015 (plant capacity is 7.7 mgd). WSAs new nitrogen limit (8 milligrams per liter) was in effect in May.

x The Superintendent and his staff continue to be involved in day-to-day management of Contract 91 (phosphorus and flood improvements) and coordination with the engineers and contractors on site.

x The WSA received the A. Joseph Mattera Safety Award from the Narragansett Water Pollution Control Association in April. As of this date, the WSA has worked 1,247 days without a lost-work incident.


Contract 91 (Treatment Facility Construction) Project Status: The most recent progress report has been included with this report. Project Issues: The WSA engaged a new engineering firm to prepare a new design for permitting of an all-earthen levee. The engineer has made significant progress in less than a month (see attached progress report). Project Schedule: The phosphorus and other operational improvements are on track for compliance with new limits in 2016. The levee improvements are behind schedule and will be fast-tracked to the extent possible. EXPENSE SUMMARY

Contract 93 (Influent Sewer Rehabilitation) Project Status: The most recent progress report has been included with this report. The project is currently out to bid. The bid opening is scheduled for July 21st. The WSA Board approved an amendment to the contract with Brown & Caldwell for construction phase engineering services in the amount of $117,775. Sewer Extension Planning & Construction (projects included in $33 million bond authorization) Governor Francis Farms Phase 3 (Contract 85 B) Completion of the design work is pending an agreement on the land acquisition for the pump station.

East Natick Phase 3/ODonnell Hill (Contract 69 A) Engineers (Garofalo & Associates) are continuing to collect details about the individual properties to be serviced. Project cost estimates have been refined by Garofalo and have decreased slightly from WSAs budget estimates. Garofalo will be proceeding to finalize the plans and obtain required permits. Funding has been requested for this project in 2016. WSA is planning to hold a meeting soon with area residents to provide project updates and obtain additional information about individual properties.

Northwest Gorton Pond (Contract 88) Currently proposed for construction in 2016. No recent activity. Bayside The WSA has approved a revised plan for sewering this area which consists of two phases. Phase I is construction of the main interceptor sewer on Tidewater Drive and Phase II will be construction of lateral pressure sewers and connections for about 40 residential streets off Tidewater Drive. The WSA Board approved a proposal from Gordon R. Archibald, Inc. (GRA) for engineering services for preliminary design of Phase I in the amount of $278,985. The Board also approved $66,700 for associated cultural resource monitoring services to be performed by the Narragansett Indian Tribe. Phase I (Contract 86A) has been further broken down for construction purposes. A project meeting with residents is scheduled for June 30th.

Contract 86A-1 Tidewater Drive Pumping Station to Friendship Street

Design of this section of Tidewater Drive is complete and cleared from an archeological perspective. WSA has submitted applications for both the Order of Approval and the Certificate of Approval to the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM). RIDEM has issued the Order of Approval (project permit) and the Certificate of Approval (authorizing funding under the State Revolving Loan Fund) is pending. The WSA continues to coordinate the installation of sewer pipe in this section of Tidewater Drive with the Department of Public Works (DPW). The agreement currently in negotiation is to have D'Ambra Construction (under contract with WSA) install the sewer main from the pump station to Friendship Street. The WSA would not be responsible for performing pavement restoration work, but would provide monies to the DPW toward the roadway restoration. The cost savings realized by not installing the permanent bituminous trench pavement would be provided to the DPW for the full roadway restoration.


Contract 86A-2 Tidewater Drive Interceptor

GRA has begun preparing the updated sewershed plan to ensure all dwellings within the area are serviced. GRA sent base plans to utility companies requesting review and confirmation of their utilities as shown on the base plans. The information will be utilized to finalize
