pass for the first time in a local vote. 138 00:08:53,730 --> 00:08:57,610 Second Madam President, I think I especially know that in 2009, Councilor Annabelle. 139 00:08:58,490 --> 00:09:00,850 Thank you so much, Council President and colleagues. 140 00:09:01,230 --> 00:09:03,430 I apologize, obviously, and support of his ordinance. 141 00:09:03,650 --> 00:09:09,930 I just wanted to explain a few of the changes that have happened since the public hearing that we held together in March. 142 00:09:10,270 --> 00:09:11,410 Many of you were there. 143 00:09:11,970 --> 00:09:16,910 But first of all, I would like to express a lot of gratitude to all the advocates who came out and submitted letters of comment. 144 00:09:16,910 --> 00:09:22,070 who was environmental advocates, neighborhood advocates, noise advocates, and the Rhode Island 145 00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:23,470 Nursery Landscape Association. 146 00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:26,710 After that hearing, I completely went. 147 00:09:26,990 --> 00:09:31,970 All of the letters we received and the testimony we heard in that several times with the 148 00:09:31,970 --> 00:09:36,170 remote, the nursery landscape association, as well as advocates, both in their places of 149 00:09:36,170 --> 00:09:37,890 business, as well as here at City Hall. 150 00:09:38,690 --> 00:09:42,770 And I know that the preference from landscape versus that we not pass this. 151 00:09:42,770 --> 00:09:47,930 But they offered really constructive feedback for if it were passed, how it would be easier for them. 152 00:09:48,210 --> 00:09:51,430 And I really wanted to take that to heart because the goal of this is we've discussed before. 153 00:09:51,610 --> 00:09:58,850 I used to address the noise pollution in our city as well as the carbon emissions and other forms of environmental degradation that come from gas leafflowers. 154 00:09:59,830 --> 00:10:01,030 It's not meant to harm small business. 155 00:10:01,090 --> 00:10:07,810 It's meant to be something that's positive for our residents, for our health and for the health of our neighborhoods, and health of our climate. 156 00:10:07,970 --> 00:10:11,510 And so it's really grateful for their partnership and coming to the table to talk. 157 00:10:14,150 --> 00:10:19,350 So the future changes we made, which I know is still maintaining the integrity of the proposal 158 00:10:19,350 --> 00:10:21,910 and we'll phase up the leafs over time. 159 00:10:22,210 --> 00:10:22,770 It does a few things. 160 00:10:22,830 --> 00:10:26,730 Money clarifies the definition of leafs for it to be really specific about what the type of 161 00:10:26,730 --> 00:10:27,770 equipment we mean. 162 00:10:28,790 --> 00:10:33,730 The initial phase of the phase out allows gas leafbores to be used only during a certain time of 163 00:10:33,730 --> 00:10:36,510 year during the fall when the leaves are heaviest and redest. 164 00:10:37,770 --> 00:10:40,390 The current electric equipment, I've been told that many people, 165 00:10:40,390 --> 00:10:49,610 It just is not up to the task yet, so the idea is to phase it out over time and allow them to continue using it during just the fall and use other equipment during other times of year. 166 00:10:50,470 --> 00:10:54,530 And we also move to the fines to the property owner not to the business. 167 00:10:54,870 --> 00:11:01,730 For a few reasons, one of which is it pertains to everybody using these, it's not just for services, not for just people hiring services. 168 00:11:02,650 --> 00:11:10,370 People are also worried about their workers and people taking photos of their workers and many folks are really worried about having their photo taken and being taken. 169 00:11:10,390 --> 00:11:16,490 submit it to any sort of enforcement, even if it is just DIS, in the challenging federal environment 170 00:11:16,490 --> 00:11:20,610 we are in, which I don't need to explain any further, and it does start with a warning first. 171 00:11:20,750 --> 00:11:24,110 So our constituents are going to immediately get a fine for doing this. 172 00:11:24,390 --> 00:11:28,390 They will get a warning, they'll get a heads up that, you know, hey heads up, this is a thing 173 00:11:28,390 --> 00:11:32,890 that happened, and it's up we have this ordinance, that's happening. 174 00:11:33,130 --> 00:11:37,750 The other thing that everyone will stop talking upon is I did talk with the Office of Energy 175 00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:45,970 resources at the state level, as well as Red Boyland, who had sponsored incentives for switching 176 00:11:45,970 --> 00:11:50,850 over to leaf growers, and I spoke about those with Wimla, I spoke about them with OER 177 00:11:50,850 --> 00:11:55,430 to make sure that those incentives were easier for businesses to access, and they have changed 178 00:11:55,430 --> 00:12:02,310 the criteria for how folks can sign up for them, because it was being reported over on us. 179 00:12:02,430 --> 00:12:06,770 So that has been amended, and I'm also happy to meet with any of the small businesses in 180 00:12:07,270 --> 00:12:14,110 I don't know about that, I want to make sure that this works for everybody and that they'd access it to all the resources. 181 00:12:14,750 --> 00:12:19,110 Not everyone's a member of Rino, Rino has reached out, they know how to work with us. 182 00:12:19,390 --> 00:12:21,350 But a lot of small businesses don't participate in that. 183 00:12:21,650 --> 00:12:24,750 So the goal is to really transition over and not be overly burdensome. 184 00:12:25,270 --> 00:12:27,090 So I hope that you do support this. 185 00:12:27,810 --> 00:12:30,430 It's something a lot of our residents have been asking for. 186 00:12:30,570 --> 00:12:32,950 It's probably one of the top five things I hear about. 187 00:12:33,130 --> 00:12:35,410 Folks have said, like, it'll be so much quieter. 188 00:12:35,410 --> 00:12:36,710 I can't wait to move back to Providence. 189 00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:39,690 And when they heard that this could be passing tonight. 190 00:12:40,010 --> 00:12:42,290 So I hope for your support and really grateful for it. 191 00:12:42,370 --> 00:12:44,450 And also to the committee members for the overview 192 00:12:44,450 --> 00:12:47,630 and conversation on this past week, last week, 193 00:12:47,770 --> 00:12:48,790 when we heard it again in committee, 194 00:12:49,730 --> 00:12:51,590 and for the large volume of people 195 00:12:51,590 --> 00:12:53,830 who came out to testify at the public hearing. 196 00:12:54,030 --> 00:12:54,670 So I'll stop that. 197 00:12:54,670 --> 00:12:57,110 Thank you so much, and I do hope you vote in support. 198 00:12:57,730 --> 00:12:58,470 Thank you, Councillor. 199 00:12:58,790 --> 00:12:59,370 Councillor Matale. 200 00:13:00,450 --> 00:13:01,890 Madam President, colleagues, 201 00:13:02,290 --> 00:13:04,750 I think we really need to think about what we're doing 202 00:13:04,750 --> 00:13:11,490 there's council members, the first one I first read this, this is gas pilot, the one equipment 203 00:13:11,490 --> 00:13:16,930 which I know it is obviously it falls under that category, but when we stop, when I want 204 00:13:16,930 --> 00:13:23,410 more, we're going to have chainsaw as weedwack is that the plan that we do is just keep going 205 00:13:23,410 --> 00:13:30,250 after and everything electric. I did some research on this as well and like you can say California, 206 00:13:30,250 --> 00:13:41,190 the affluent places like Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Massachusetts, Cambridge, Brookline, 207 00:13:41,530 --> 00:13:46,470 all affluent neighborhoods have this. And again, I know people won't like me saying this, 208 00:13:47,030 --> 00:13:52,090 but this is two sets of properties. We have these side, and we have the rest of us. 209 00:13:52,090 --> 00:13:56,330 In my word, I've been present, Councilman for seven years. 210 00:13:56,990 --> 00:14:00,890 I've got one call on noise of a leaf flow, not one. 211 00:14:01,250 --> 00:14:09,770 I've got plenty of fireworks and truestes and loud music, you name it. 212 00:14:10,070 --> 00:14:12,170 Which we already have in noise ordinance. 213 00:14:12,490 --> 00:14:15,350 The noise ordinance we have now is not enforced. 214 00:14:16,410 --> 00:14:20,590 So why don't we keep putting, I call it, I know some of my colleagues don't like to see them, 215 00:14:20,590 --> 00:14:27,190 I call it a few good, let's get on the press type of ordinance because who's going to enforce this? 216 00:14:27,450 --> 00:14:36,550 The police, the police have enough to do, you want to go to a call for a least war, or someone's house being broken into a war, someone being robbed. 217 00:14:37,710 --> 00:14:49,690 So, it just doesn't make sense, we don't have any enforcement. On the ones we have now, we say, we have fireworks, we have war for non-forast, we have loud music, non-forast, we have roosters in the city, non-forast. 218 00:14:49,690 --> 00:14:57,710 Well, the list goes on and on and we just keep putting ordinances in and we're not in force of so I don't see how bad it's going to help 219 00:14:58,350 --> 00:14:59,970 Where we start like in my world 220 00:15:00,590 --> 00:15:29,730 Assembly Lake, and a lot of words, the workers, within my word, they're not on the east side. The ones that are out there doing landscape and don't live on the east side to work on the east side. They work over in my word, and so the lake, and you name it, they're there, work up. So work even them, another issue to go through, you can go by a gas leafball for anywhere from 60 bucks to 400 bucks. 221 00:15:29,730 --> 00:15:33,970 electric ones are anywhere from $100 to $700. 222 00:15:35,190 --> 00:15:36,490 And they have to have all the batteries. 223 00:15:36,730 --> 00:15:39,690 They don't just, it's not like I'm doing my house. 224 00:15:40,090 --> 00:15:43,350 They do like 10 different houses or more a day. 225 00:15:43,890 --> 00:15:44,590 So what are they going to do? 226 00:15:44,690 --> 00:15:48,310 I'm going to keep the costs on the batteries are very expensive. 227 00:15:48,910 --> 00:15:51,890 And I feel that we're pushing these small business they come here. 228 00:15:52,330 --> 00:15:55,670 And the small businesses do landscape and they do excellent work. 229 00:15:55,970 --> 00:15:57,870 And I feel that we're tying their hands. 230 00:15:57,870 --> 00:16:00,550 I don't care if it's now a year's now from now. 231 00:16:00,930 --> 00:16:05,410 You can't even buy a new electric at least for all right now. 232 00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:06,290 It's not even out there. 233 00:16:06,310 --> 00:16:10,250 You can't buy a new electric at anything right now because it's brand new. 234 00:16:11,530 --> 00:16:14,370 But I feel the time that the hands of a business. 235 00:16:14,390 --> 00:16:18,070 Someone that comes out, they're five or six people, they work very hard. 236 00:16:18,410 --> 00:16:20,830 And now we're going to say, so what's their option? 237 00:16:21,690 --> 00:16:24,230 My suggestion if this passes well by generator. 238 00:16:24,910 --> 00:16:39,270 by a generator, put it on the back of the trailer, start it up, that makes one noise in a leaf block, and charge your batteries, because we're giving these people not all to make them hand, the kicker is defying those to the homeowner. 239 00:16:39,490 --> 00:16:50,090 What are we doing? How many fines do we want to give the homeowner? They got the recycling, we do the recycling, they have no clue we get a little risk van, they don't pick up their garbage, it goes to the homeowner. 240 00:16:50,090 --> 00:16:57,150 Now we've got the FF12 graphs, environmental results, they give you a fine for that. 241 00:16:57,330 --> 00:17:03,110 Now we've got a fine, I know it's only a warning, but I make people, when they get the actual fine, say they never got it. 242 00:17:03,330 --> 00:17:05,810 So how are we going to get a warning? They're going to get a fine. 243 00:17:06,370 --> 00:17:10,390 We just raised access, it's just never ends for the people in the city of Providence. 244 00:17:11,190 --> 00:17:15,050 And I don't want to say, wait, is this stop? Because it says, yes, power, the one equipment. 245 00:17:15,050 --> 00:17:20,270 So, this year it's least lower next year, one more. 246 00:17:20,650 --> 00:17:27,570 Following year, we'd like to follow near chainsaw, we're not business friendly yet. 247 00:17:27,590 --> 00:17:32,830 We have a lot of people in my world and in other words, not even including the people 248 00:17:32,830 --> 00:17:33,770 that sell it. 249 00:17:34,550 --> 00:17:40,810 But I'm going to vote now, hopefully people can think about it, because at the end 250 00:17:40,810 --> 00:17:46,730 find those to that person. We're nickel and diamond these people out of the city. And 251 00:17:46,730 --> 00:17:49,970 eight years from now, these people aren't going to be here. They're just going to leave. 252 00:17:49,990 --> 00:17:52,530 They're going to say, you know what, I'm out of here, because I can't afford the city. 253 00:17:53,130 --> 00:17:55,670 So thank you very much, Madam President. Full of snow. 254 00:17:57,530 --> 00:18:02,490 Councilman, Councilman. Thank you, Madam President. And thank you, Councilman Tire for those comments. 255 00:18:03,310 --> 00:18:09,030 I think it's a really important policy discussion that we're having and I think it's important to consider 256 00:18:09,030 --> 00:18:13,730 everyone's perspective on this. I do want to say that this has been an issue 257 00:18:13,730 --> 00:18:19,230 citywide, perhaps maybe not in your work, but there are many people who have been 258 00:18:19,230 --> 00:18:25,810 calling to see this happen in the city and I understand your concerns here. 259 00:18:26,710 --> 00:18:34,390 As we think about facing out jazz-powered leaflets, this is also about protecting the public safety 260 00:18:34,390 --> 00:18:36,830 and also the public health of the worker. 261 00:18:38,230 --> 00:18:43,110 If you think about the toxic emissions of gas-powered leafflowers, 262 00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:47,430 it's equivalent to driving a gas-powered vehicle 263 00:18:47,430 --> 00:18:52,410 for 1,100 miles, many of these workers, in fact, 264 00:18:52,610 --> 00:18:56,130 do this work without having the proper equipment 265 00:18:56,790 --> 00:19:04,370 necessary or needed to make sure that they're safe and many of these 266 00:19:04,370 --> 00:19:12,390 of color. So that's one argument on the public health perspective. And I think we sometimes 267 00:19:12,390 --> 00:19:22,490 operate under this assumption that we are trying to be punitive or her people, but actually, 268 00:19:22,710 --> 00:19:27,970 in this case, it's the exact opposite we're trying to protect people and we're trying to protect workers. 269 00:19:27,970 --> 00:19:35,370 The other piece is the quality of my challenges that this is opposed for many of our residents in the city. 270 00:19:35,670 --> 00:19:40,750 Do you respect what neighborhood you're in, whether it's the east side or anywhere else in the city. 271 00:19:41,170 --> 00:19:43,190 People deserve peace and quiet. 272 00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:50,270 And I think the problem that we are trying to solve here, and we've all received these dealership emails, 273 00:19:50,930 --> 00:19:54,870 is the fact that people are using these gas-powered leaf growers 274 00:19:54,870 --> 00:20:02,850 that are, in many cases, evaluation of the noise ordinance, the times that are not helpful 275 00:20:02,850 --> 00:20:04,530 for anybody in that community. 276 00:20:05,110 --> 00:20:10,330 So if you're a baby being working out by a gas-powered leaf blower, that's a problem. 277 00:20:10,990 --> 00:20:18,650 If you are someone who, you might want to go, I've gotten no emails from constituents about 278 00:20:18,650 --> 00:20:19,770 that. 279 00:20:19,770 --> 00:20:28,990 There are people who have public health issues and challenges and it's something that we should address. 280 00:20:30,090 --> 00:20:46,530 The other piece is, we've seen other municipalities, we've seen other states, we've seen other cities, past these laws to get to completely eliminate gas power weak blowers. 281 00:20:46,530 --> 00:20:52,750 they have been on the forefront of that years and years ago, so in fact, we're behind the 282 00:20:52,750 --> 00:20:59,110 curve on this. California, Kansas law, a while ago, and there are so many other 283 00:20:59,110 --> 00:21:07,950 municipalities that have these laws on the box. I do want to say a lot of appreciation for the 284 00:21:07,950 --> 00:21:15,730 on this committee, but also will be the lead sponsor council and the end of law for being 285 00:21:15,730 --> 00:21:22,070 very thoughtful and intentional about this process. There are a lot of advocates, there are 286 00:21:22,070 --> 00:21:29,150 part of this process, but she also, as you heard, worked very diligently with the people who are 287 00:21:29,150 --> 00:21:33,950 in opposition to try to find some middle ground and to find some commonality to move this 288 00:21:35,190 --> 00:21:42,050 Ultimately, gas powered leafflowers, a polluter, they throw in our public health, they shatter 289 00:21:42,050 --> 00:21:47,930 the peace of our neighborhoods. This is not the punitive ordinance. This is there's plenty 290 00:21:47,930 --> 00:21:54,290 of lead time to try to educate the public on what we need to do. As a sponsor mentioned, 291 00:21:54,970 --> 00:22:00,210 we can work very closely with the members of the General Assembly to try to get resources 292 00:22:00,210 --> 00:22:05,930 in funds to mitigate some of the challenges around moving to cleaner energy and 293 00:22:05,930 --> 00:22:11,570 technologies, but ultimately this is the right thing to do. It's protecting the 294 00:22:11,570 --> 00:22:17,530 worker, it's protecting our constituents, and in the long term we're doing the right 295 00:22:17,530 --> 00:22:22,530 thing for everyone involved. And the one point that I just want to make last point, the 296 00:22:22,530 --> 00:22:28,690 parts department has already been leading the charge on this. So we have many people 297 00:22:28,690 --> 00:22:38,450 are sitting in fact who are using this cleaner technology. These are workers in our city that are 298 00:22:38,450 --> 00:22:45,870 benefiting from the fact that they don't have to use these overly notches, gas powered leaf 299 00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:51,270 blowers that are detrimental to their public health. And I think we are serving as a model. 300 00:22:51,810 --> 00:22:56,670 We have to read on this issue, this is about quality of life, this is about protecting the workers, 301 00:22:56,670 --> 00:23:02,430 This is not a punitive ordinance. We're not saying we're going to do this tomorrow. We're giving people some lead time 302 00:23:02,430 --> 00:23:08,830 So I think this is completely reasonable and I hope I hope that our colleagues you're 303 00:23:08,830 --> 00:23:18,010 Spective of how you feel about this issue. I hope that we'll look at the bigger picture here and think about how we're going to protect our people 304 00:23:18,010 --> 00:23:24,350 Our workers, but also the quality of life of the residents in our city and with that 305 00:23:24,350 --> 00:23:28,790 I'll say, lastly, I just want to say thank you to the sponsor. 306 00:23:29,290 --> 00:23:32,970 Thank you to everyone who worked incredibly hard on this initiative. 307 00:23:33,530 --> 00:23:36,490 I want to send this shout-out to the Providence Noise Project. 308 00:23:37,010 --> 00:23:40,810 All in the neighborhood associations across the city who are part of this process. 309 00:23:41,370 --> 00:23:44,470 But also the people who are doing issues within work 310 00:23:44,470 --> 00:23:47,110 didn't came to the table to try to think about making it better. 311 00:23:47,250 --> 00:23:48,450 And that's what I think this is. 312 00:23:49,310 --> 00:23:52,130 So again, I hope that we'll support this ordinance 313 00:23:52,130 --> 00:23:55,710 and finally pass it to like, thank you Madam President. 314 00:23:56,850 --> 00:23:58,190 Good morning, I am 29. 315 00:23:59,210 --> 00:23:59,570 Can't forget. 316 00:24:00,470 --> 00:24:01,610 Thank you very much, Manager. 317 00:24:04,340 --> 00:24:10,820 I owe my car as a model, and they say, and I wish you can have a job position for them 318 00:24:10,820 --> 00:24:16,080 to model when they lose the right to work and do a use of their gas power. 319 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:22,640 I got a lot of problems, and because to each other, they depends on these particular 320 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:33,180 job, they have a lot more, a little more, a wee walker, give us a little more electrical 321 00:24:33,180 --> 00:24:39,500 cost money between the hours.

It brings a lot of different opinions, but to do the work in and pull the mud sling into the side and get to the pool where it had to date, but it's not easy task, and that's what my colleague has brought us to this point. Like folks have said, this does not go into fact until 2023. 382 00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:36,120 While I do respect and appreciate the noise concerns, what really drives me to support something like this is the environmental piece. 383 00:30:36,940 --> 00:30:46,380 Folks are worried about the cost of living, the expensive rent, which is all about the concerns, but we don't have a clean environment to live in. 384 00:30:46,380 --> 00:30:53,380 Louie, none of this matters, and that's exactly where we're heading as a society here and 385 00:30:53,380 --> 00:30:54,940 in Providence and other places. 386 00:30:55,540 --> 00:31:00,940 We've talked about pollution around the world, we've talked about the congestion and 387 00:31:00,940 --> 00:31:02,840 in different parts of the neighborhoods of traffic. 388 00:31:03,420 --> 00:31:11,260 We need to be doing everything as a municipal, as a municipal body, to start showing love to 389 00:31:11,260 --> 00:31:14,760 this planet that gives us a lot of every single day. 390 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:33,000 And, you know, this moment, you know, cut off all carbon emissions, but if you read and see the papers and data and research that the emissions that these instruments put out on a yearly basis, it will really blow your mind. 391 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:41,340 So, that's why I want to rise in strong support of this, you know, if you read it as a headline, 392 00:31:41,540 --> 00:31:45,420 then yeah, you may be not supported, but what you dig down in the details 393 00:31:45,420 --> 00:31:49,920 and actually understand the process that is played out. 394 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:55,920 To me, this is a very common sense, a good government bill, and I'm proud to support you. 395 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:56,760 Thank you, I'm President. 396 00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,980 Good, good discussion. I am 29. 397 00:32:02,860 --> 00:32:05,680 Yep, further discussion? Before. Good. 398 00:32:06,140 --> 00:32:07,180 How's one beer, sir? 399 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,340 Okay, okay. That's a little strong. 400 00:32:17,020 --> 00:32:21,300 So thank you very much. I want to thank this sponsor of this for putting this together. 401 00:32:21,500 --> 00:32:23,540 I'll be extremely honest with you. 402 00:32:23,540 --> 00:32:27,540 I have been completely on the fence on this one for the longest time. 403 00:32:27,540 --> 00:32:57,440 There's already a reason many of them that were spoken about today, but what I think is a really positive move about this particular ordinance is that you've put it out so far in advance so that we can do all of the things that we're intending to do the right way and I think that that it really needs to be noted that the time dedication to make sure that we get a right has been put into place into this particular ordinance and I appreciate that. 404 00:32:57,540 --> 00:33:01,280 If there's one particular ask that I could make, 405 00:33:01,740 --> 00:33:09,700 and it's only because of a situation that I came across in the past month and a half for my professional life, 406 00:33:10,060 --> 00:33:16,740 is that we really do a lot of education around the batteries and how to dispose of them properly. 407 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:24,940 I sat in a training with fire chiefs from all over the state about just about diffusing these actual batteries, 408 00:33:24,940 --> 00:33:31,460 And it was really scary and it's not something that most people would even realize with these things. 409 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:47,040 So if there's one point of advocacy that I would make is that we just put our best food forward and really create some advocacy around doing it the right way, especially if we're going to have homeowners taking care of these things on their properties and things like that. 410 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:52,300 I am going to be supporting this. I do appreciate the overall of all the work that you put into this. 411 00:33:52,480 --> 00:34:05,780 And I do agree with my fellow counselors that had a lot of hesitation, but I also understand that there's a lot of room to make sure that we do enact an enforce in the proper way. 412 00:34:06,060 --> 00:34:12,060 And with regards to enforcement, I think that's a very broad turn of the things that we need to work on. 413 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,580 And we should actually be taking care of a lot of those things through our committees. 414 00:34:15,580 --> 00:34:23,840 So thank you. Thank you any one who hasn't spoken yet before I allow the sponsor to say no, okay 415 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:30,060 Council and one thank you and I'll be pretty if one I really appreciate this robust to pay even among the folks who opposed it 416 00:34:30,060 --> 00:34:35,060 So thank you for sharing your views. I did want to share three for three additional quick things 417 00:34:35,060 --> 00:34:39,280 What is an agreement with Councilwoman Peterson? Yes, let's work on that 418 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:44,680 I'm just saying that ladies are in the mobility the scooters and things like that and I want to make sure the city 419 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,840 addressing some of those issues as well, so people can use all these devices and all these 420 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:53,220 batteries and safely as possible.

And, quite frankly, this is a good deal. Right now, it makes fiscal sense for us. And I support it wholeheartedly. Thank you. 566 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,300 I have a question, Councilman Sanchez. 567 00:45:30,060 --> 00:45:30,700 Thank you, Mayor President. 568 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:38,140 I, when I first saw this, I think I got a little part of goes the first way I found out about this proposed deal. 569 00:45:38,540 --> 00:45:43,580 I definitely, you know, had a lot of concerns in my mind right away, I was absolutely not. 570 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,120 But then, you know, you're deep in the details. 571 00:45:47,180 --> 00:45:53,740 You know, my, just general concern of the city going out for bond in these times is, 572 00:45:53,740 --> 00:46:01,120 It has more responsibility to the city in a time where we're asking for our neighbors to pay more. 573 00:46:01,380 --> 00:46:07,840 I definitely hesitate to be asking for more money for the city of Providence. 574 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:18,080 But when you dig into details as the financial committee did a couple of weeks ago, conversations with the finance team, this is makes sense. 575 00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:26,080 absolutely. Going forward, it's going to give the city a lot more flexibility. We, on top of 576 00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:31,620 the rental payments, we're spending more than a quarter million dollars on maintenance and repairs 577 00:46:31,620 --> 00:46:39,240 on the annual basis. So when you add that to the rent, the debt payment is going to be a lot less. 578 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:46,220 Then we have four control of the building to do whatever we need to do in terms of repairs, upgrades, 579 00:46:46,220 --> 00:46:53,540 It's moving offices around to fit needs of our city department better, which is a great 580 00:46:53,540 --> 00:46:54,420 plus. 581 00:46:54,740 --> 00:46:59,940 But it's important to acknowledge that this wouldn't be a good deal if that really, really 582 00:46:59,940 --> 00:47:01,640 copied lease was it in place. 583 00:47:02,340 --> 00:47:06,760 So, I think it's important as constituents and representatives of the people that we serve 584 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:14,460 to highlight those important details to show, you know, all neighbors, these decisions 585 00:47:14,460 --> 00:47:21,980 that we're done in the past, probably, you know, behind a bathroom, quickly passed through a 586 00:47:21,980 --> 00:47:26,100 council chamber, I don't know the exact process that went through, but if I had to guess there 587 00:47:26,100 --> 00:47:33,940 was a lot of community and public input, because we all have rather least it's extremely unfair 588 00:47:33,940 --> 00:47:40,920 to the people of Providence, but by, you know, buying this building on this opportunity that we have, 589 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:47,760 I think we're doing a little bit more justice to the people that we serve. 590 00:47:48,180 --> 00:47:53,750 And lastly, I want to highlight, which was an American side of mine, is that we wouldn't have any more 591 00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:59,620 debt capacity to keep funding and future CIP projects. 592 00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:07,400 The finance team or the administration did say on record that this doesn't impact any other 593 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:14,380 future, CIP, or any other possible bond projects that we want to do in the future. 594 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,360 So we've all of those things noted. 595 00:48:18,780 --> 00:48:21,400 I'm glad to support this bond. 596 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:23,000 Thank you, President. 597 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:24,440 Councilman Gauss. 598 00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:25,740 Thank you, Mayor President. 599 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,500 Thank you for those comments that I made by my colleagues. 600 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,720 I also had a similar reaction, but I want to say that. 601 00:48:33,260 --> 00:48:36,200 This is a financially important thing for the city to do. 602 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:45,280 we are the term expires in the school year 2036 and it would likely need to be renewed at the time. 603 00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,320 I understand the concerns that people are sharing here. 604 00:48:49,300 --> 00:48:51,620 But as you just heard from the finance show, 605 00:48:51,780 --> 00:48:56,740 when you just heard from my council colleague or council colleague, 606 00:48:57,380 --> 00:49:00,680 Miguel Sanchez, the annual lease, 607 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:08,880 It's going to cost 1.5 million per year, and that's just going to escalate, and as you 608 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:16,680 also mentioned, the figure of $250,000 in additional maintenance and management and utility 609 00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:24,060 costs for the project. So this is a financially proven thing to do, and so I certainly urge 610 00:49:24,060 --> 00:49:53,180 my colleagues to support this, is it relates to the Valley Street and Water Fire building, you know that's a critical cultural institution in our city, and I think it's all so important that we're able to think about this holistically and collectively and be averaged that service on that borrowing as we have heard in committee and from a finance department is 611 00:49:53,180 --> 00:50:05,280 is over $300,000 a year. So this plan purchase will allow us to lease the building and 612 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:13,940 it's used for for 20 years and also ensure that we're operating in a very fiscally 613 00:50:13,940 --> 00:50:19,460 prudent way as a city. So it's the right thing to do. I understand that there are people 614 00:50:19,460 --> 00:50:27,720 Well, congratulations here, but I think ultimately this is going to be beneficial for our balance sheet here in the city of Providence. 615 00:50:27,780 --> 00:50:28,640 Thank you, Madam President. 616 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,100 Thank you for your discussion, and there you are. 617 00:50:32,220 --> 00:50:33,740 Madam Clerk, please cover up. 618 00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:35,620 Council President Miller, aye. 619 00:50:36,020 --> 00:50:38,820 Deputy Majority Web and Opa, aye. 620 00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,480 Majority Leader Espinal, aye. 621 00:50:42,500 --> 00:50:45,640 Senior Deputy Majority Leader Gonzales, aye. 622 00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:47,380 Come again. 623 00:50:49,690 --> 00:50:52,310 Thank you.

The motion carries the matter is approved on a roll call vote. 629 00:51:28,690 --> 00:51:34,210 Thank you, Madam Clerk. Item 32. Madam President Majority Leader. 630 00:51:35,350 --> 00:51:40,130 Motion 2 and we see you in a pool. Second amendment. 631 00:51:40,130 --> 00:51:45,570 We have a motion and a second any discussion on item 32 comes on Sanchez. 632 00:51:45,750 --> 00:51:46,470 Thank you, my president. 633 00:51:47,090 --> 00:51:51,750 Today I want to raise a strong support of this appointment. 634 00:51:52,230 --> 00:51:59,430 I've met with possibly to be director, Sean here shortly. 635 00:51:59,890 --> 00:52:04,450 A handful of times, we had a record meeting and he did attend. 636 00:52:04,450 --> 00:52:29,890 Being the Director of the Director of the Department is not an easy job, but it's a very important one, especially now, you know, I think we will live in a time where we're utilizing rec centers for a lot more than just a recreational center, it's a huge community, a lot of resources, a lot of lives being saved by a lot of our youth spending time and then learning important life skills. 637 00:52:32,030 --> 00:52:38,930 But through those conversations and experiences with Shawna, I think he's going to be a great director. 638 00:52:39,870 --> 00:52:45,150 He knows that this is a team that we're going to hold him accountable when he, 639 00:52:45,190 --> 00:52:51,250 but we're also there to support, to keep increasing funding to the right department. 640 00:52:51,430 --> 00:52:53,310 I think it's something we should start talking about now, 641 00:52:53,310 --> 00:53:02,270 before the budget season comes, so I just wanted to rise in and strong support of Sean 642 00:53:02,270 --> 00:53:02,810 Oli. 643 00:53:03,070 --> 00:53:04,890 He is here today. 644 00:53:06,270 --> 00:53:06,550 Thank you. 645 00:53:06,730 --> 00:53:07,670 I just got some questions. 646 00:53:07,750 --> 00:53:08,090 I do. 647 00:53:18,870 --> 00:53:24,430 I also wanted to echo Mike the comments from my finance committee colleague. 648 00:53:26,010 --> 00:53:32,090 He made a wonderful presentation in the finance committee and what we learned in what was 649 00:53:32,090 --> 00:53:36,790 to fight to is his commitment to the city of Providence, to the youth of the city of Providence, 650 00:53:37,630 --> 00:53:43,110 and being partners with each council member in one of our ex-centres. 651 00:53:44,210 --> 00:53:50,530 We disagree at this in this chamber around tables on a lot of topics, but one of the things 652 00:53:50,530 --> 00:53:57,050 we all agree on is our youth, our children, proper education, wonderful recreation service. 653 00:53:57,490 --> 00:54:01,730 It's critical to their growth and their development, and it's something that every single 654 00:54:01,730 --> 00:54:05,850 Council person, I know, takes very seriously. 655 00:54:06,390 --> 00:54:09,050 I think that Sean has a great pick. 656 00:54:09,250 --> 00:54:10,970 I think he's got a strong background, 657 00:54:11,370 --> 00:54:20,330 and I'm really excited about what he's going to show our young people. 658 00:54:20,610 --> 00:54:23,390 He's certainly going to be a strong leader, 659 00:54:23,550 --> 00:54:25,350 and someone that they can all look up to. 660 00:54:25,690 --> 00:54:27,890 So I wish him well, and I hope 661 00:54:27,890 --> 00:54:29,310 hardly support him. 662 00:54:29,310 --> 00:54:31,890 That was a good question. 663 00:54:32,250 --> 00:54:32,930 Councillor Thompson. 664 00:54:33,230 --> 00:54:33,930 Thank you, Madam President. 665 00:54:34,070 --> 00:54:38,410 I don't want to believe that points here, but I couldn't think of a better person to hold 666 00:54:38,410 --> 00:54:38,970 this role. 667 00:54:39,430 --> 00:54:41,910

a very holistic way is something that has always 671 00:55:02,190 --> 00:55:07,450 made me really perk up and I can, again, think of a better leader to read well 672 00:55:07,450 --> 00:55:08,010 operation. 673 00:55:08,530 --> 00:55:14,030 OREC centers are not just about our kids playing basketball and that's something that we 674 00:55:14,030 --> 00:55:19,190 have talked about and I know that he is ready to step up to the plate to make sure that 675 00:55:19,190 --> 00:55:26,130 we're really addressing all the social emotional needs of our kids and whether it's 676 00:55:26,130 --> 00:55:38,090 I'm training the other holistic elements that we've spoken about, so I just want to thank you for stepping up and leading on behalf of the children in the city of Providence and want to
