The Fall River City Council convened on June 27, 2023, addressing a range of municipal issues. The meeting began with a special citation honoring WSAR Radio for its 100th anniversary, presented by Council Vice President Pereira to James and Robert Carroll. Public hearings were held for three curb removal/extension requests from Fidel Estrella at 53 California Street, Scott and April Cabral at 402 Courtney Street, and Richard Aguiar at 1500 President Avenue, all of which were later approved. Key discussions included the future of the Bank Street Armory, with City Administrator Seth Aiken presenting the administration's recommendation to sell the building due to estimated rehabilitation costs of $10-12 million, despite Council Vice President Pereira's strong opposition and suggestion for preservation and alternative uses. The item was referred to the Committee on Real Estate. The Council also approved the transfer of $1,906,110.20 to the stabilization fund from FY22 Surplus Revenue and $23,726.06 from the reserve fund to the Bristol County Agricultural School. Appointments to the Commission on Disability for Joseph Rio and Misa Silva, Esquire, were confirmed. Grants totaling $99,650 from Mass EOEEA and $147,727.27 from FEMA were accepted. Other significant actions included the referral of a petition by Colin Dias to rename a section of Third Street to Jean Baptiste LePage Street to the Planning Committee, with an additional request for the committee to suggest alternative locations if the initial proposal is not approved. A request for Mohammed Shabbir to apply for taxicab medallions sparked debate regarding the fairness to existing taxi services and the regulation of ride-sharing companies, ultimately passing with a 6-3 roll call vote. The Council also passed ordinances related to miscellaneous traffic and the fee schedule for the Zoning Board of Appeals and Planning Boards. The next meetings were scheduled for July 18th and August 15th.

13:50um please come down subject matter is Third Street in England you have three minutes thank you council president and um members of city council I believe today you have an opportunity to bestow a great honor upon a resident of this community from a long time ago that served our country valiantly again thank you for allowing me the opportunity to address you today I stand before you and strong support of
14:25renaming only a section of Third Street right from Bedford to Borden to Gene Baptiste LePage Street this simple act would hold great significance in our community and serves a well-deserved tribute to a local hero and I'm sure everyone has seen and has read about this gentleman within the last few weeks few months especially since his memorial was um knocked down without a replacement Gene Baptiste
14:54LePage again nearly nearly a lifelong resident of Fall River born in Quebec made immense contributions to our nation during a time of conflict he furiously joined the fifth Battalion Canadian Mounted rifles of the Canadian expand area force a caliber record that felt fought valiantly on horseback and after his training in England he was deployed to France and the Western Front where he displayed unwavering bravery
15:28again I Believe by renaming this portion of Third Street he passes right in front of City Hall overlooking the highway we would again dispose bestow a great honor for Gene Baptiste LePage and again I'm just going to go briefly through the process of submitting a petition to change my street name as per city ordinance the city council is responsible tonight have referring the petition to the planning board
15:57the planning board in turn is obligated to do its research research the proposal and provide their recommendation back to this body for final action again I emphasize but this change will only affect Third Street from Bedford to Borden so it wouldn't have any minimum if any effect on any residential communities I don't I don't even I can't even think of any residential houses between Bedford to
16:25board and on third strip I believe it was just City Hall parking garage so if you like your street you can keep your street name and again in closing I urge you again to recognize the importance of this proposal there was no public Memorial announced after Mr lepage's Memorial was knocked down at Route 79 I believe we should honor his legacy and his sacrifice he made to our nation by improve approving the renaming
16:55of Third Street it's a beautiful name Not only would a beautiful place the area it also stand out as a testament to in our appreciation for those who have bravely served our country and I thank you for your consideration thank you thank you thank you thank you item number two we have discussion with representatives from the administration regarding the bank Street Armory Municipal Veterans Memorial referred to
17:21the Council on May 16 2023 the whole discussion has come down
17:42want to give us a quick little presentation I'll just give us a little where we are right now sure um good evening Seth Aiken City administrator um as you know the bank Street Armory was recently the subject of a request for proposals uh there was one proposal to purchase the Armory and convert it uh into a number of residential Apartments the Armory was um in 2015 the subject of a study by
18:08Stark Architects at which point it was estimated that the cost of total repairs would be between eight and nine and a half million dollars in 2023 that's probably closer to 10 to 12. I consulted a number of contractors who sort of deal in this sort of thing and that was uh essentially the number um I do have a handout if you're interested of the breakdown of the costs in summary the uh the 2015 study said
18:41that there were three categories of urgency for repairs one was immediate that needed to happen right away one was short term which needed to happen within three to five years of the 2015 study and the other was long term which would need to happen within five to eight years of the 2015 study and as you can do the math we're now at the end of that the longest period the eight years since
19:06the 2015 study so the majority of the work that's documented would need to be done there has been work done on the Armory since 2015 one of the chimneys was repointed and it was actually up there on Friday and it's still in great shape and one of the the lower smaller roofs so if you're standing in front of the Armory the there's a big flat rubber roof that you can see the the turrets
19:30behind that there's a slightly smaller flat rubber roof that was replaced and then the rest is a slate gabled roof both the front roof and the slate roof need to be replaced with all all the copper flashing and all the stuff that goes with the historical significance of the building the position of the city is that this is a beautiful building it would be it would have been amazing if
19:52in 2015 we had the resources and the foresight to try to save this building and to keep it for the city to do City events at this point we don't feel that the cost is is feasible and that the return on that investment would be there and at this point it's it's unclear as to what the purpose of the building would be especially since when the building was in its Heyday there weren't
20:19great venues for basketball and sports and we all now have quite a few really good basketball courts both indoor and out and other venues for sports around the city that's not the only purpose there is incredible nostalgia in history in this building but because it does appear that the cost of rehabilitating the building would be 10 to 12 million dollars and because housing is needed and because
20:42any project would work closely with the historical commission to make sure that the envelope the exterior of the building would maintain largely its current personality and historical significance the position of the city is that the sale is the the better way to go it would allow us to have a building that has residential use is rehabilitated is is um preserved in a certain way maybe just
21:09not in exactly the way that we that many folks remember that building um so that's I can answer any questions certainly sensitive to the fact that this would have been an amazing building to to save but I think the years have certainly taken a toll on it Wisconsin vice president her yeah I um objected to this when it came before us and you're right a study was done by stock architect in 2015 and I read the
21:40study and some work was repaired some of the work was completed and I know that it's been eight years and people haven't done anything with it um because of lack of funding I'm assuming to get that done but with oppa money both the city oppa money the Bristol County Opera money with the preservation and the Historic Society they're never brought to the table when things like this are discussed and they
22:05should be why do we have you know a preservation committee historic commission and never bring people to the table when we're talking about things being preserved what are the monies are out there are there grants out there I'm not saying that you have to fix this building within a year or two but if you had a plan and you have some money now that could be used for that but if there
22:28was a plan we have got rid of so many things in fall river that it's our history and future Generations will not have the ability um you know to go into the army sure we're going to make housing everybody is you know on the edge that we need housing now which we do but you can't just be turning everything into housing and there were a lot of events that could be there and honestly I would have
22:53put a tourism office there because then people come into the city they come there they they check what's going on once you get the trolleys have a trolley stop there where people can come around think outside of the box to get things done people will rent it you'll make money on it because people will rent it for varied events I just I'm probably you know not going to be successful in saying keep it you
23:22know you're going to say we don't have the money we have the money for things that we really want to do and sometimes other things we can't find the money for and I understand with you know the new high schools being built that the city is going to be in a financial struggle to meet all of those um costs I just cannot in good conscience and and I think the proposal that was given Mr
23:46Alan McNamara put in a proposal I think his proposal is good and I think he's done a wonderful job so it's certainly not about him in any way he's done a great job with the tech building and stuff and other Adventures that he's been in I think he's a good developer and we do have some really good developers in the city I just I'm totally against selling it whatever we
24:10have to come up with whatever we have to do I mean people would do fundraising to save a building like this and then it was dedicated to Veterans yes it needs an elevator but you know the CPA will give you money for an elevator they gave academica Club money for an elevator because of the history there you don't think that they would give money here and that's that's the city's money that's our money
24:32I just we can agree to disagree on this I don't know that you'll have the votes here I've not really discussed it with anybody um it's just a personal feeling I have that I just think we get rid of too much of our history that's just my opinion with that I yield Mr President there you go son any further questions maybe no further questions thank you very much thank you Seth there's one
24:58point procedurally this will go to the committee on real estate um in the near future I believe so um it's got to be voted here when is the sale of public property it'll go to Real Estate and it'll be vented there then we'll have an opportunity to speak more about that transfer when the recommendation comes to the full Council so thank you thank you Council for clarifying that incorrect yeah
25:27move on to item number three transfers and Appropriations for five in the in according to the provisions of chapter 44 section 32 in Massachusetts Massachusetts general laws I recommend to follow Appropriations to your honorable body at the sum of one million nine hundred six thousand one hundred ten thousand twenty cents being the same as hereby transcript to stabilization fund from

26:58questions what's the increase so it wasn't due to increased enrollment it was due to the um the debt assessment was higher than what they originally what we thought it was going to be and what they said it was going to be got it thank you thank you but um wasn't it part of it that the assessment is a little higher because of the addition that they put on that building
27:22yes that that also comes into play yeah it's a great it's a great addition that they put on I've been up there in I thought that's what it was for because how many children do we have there I asked and they told me 800 and something no I think we only have four no we only have 41 children there Oh I thought we have that's a diamond no I thought there was more that were
27:43Bristol Aggie when I met with the mayor's office do you recall Miss Akins I was surprised at the number of students that we had there that's why I'm asking I believe it's only 41 students I had heard second hand I'm not directly from Bristol argue that it was a relatively small number I can find out and get the number today I thought it was like 88 or something like that yeah
28:10I thought it was less than 50 but I could be wrong I'll find out yeah just wondering yeah I mean we can get the I can get the number and we can get it to you tomorrow um because before there was even less so I'm just wondering more uh children are going into the agriculture because of marijuana Agriculture and things like that that they're trying to get degrees it's true um and I thought that that was

38:15thank you would have been like a brief summary or just should I just answer questions yeah yeah only one is filled that's correct um how many how many are budgeted for with this mou um are we to anticipate any transfers down the road for um retroactive pay so there is one environmental police officer in the queue he's at training right now uh this is a transfer from the sheriff's office so this is a person who
38:52I believe has 10 years experience and is coming in as a 10-year officer aside from that there are no transfers or other additions to the environmental that are anticipated there's one officer on duty actively there will be one officer in the next several months so there won't be the necessity to do any transfers that whatever was budgeted for in the FY 23 budget will cover this yes this was anticipated in the FY 23
39:20budget okay um I know the superior officers is just to put it back in line of where it was originally I understand that um there was a line item budgeted in the FY 23 budget anticipating this yes is that dollar amount going to cover this or again will it be transfers down the road to because we don't have enough budgeted nope completed we had an agreement in theory or in principle
39:50prior to the FY 23 budget going to the council and being approved we knew what the dollar amount would be and this is that so this covers the FY 23 budget anticipates this and covers it in its entirety okay that's very good um and I guess so will we actively be trying to fill the last three environmental police positions from the conversations I've had with the chief he obviously sees Great Value in
40:17those positions I mean they're out on the reservation they do a mission that's significantly different than the normal Patrol officers that said I think because there's always some shortages in Patrol his priority is to fill that first because they cover the majority of the the city and where the residents are and then if there's the ability to do so I think he would certainly look to feel
40:39environmental but at this point it's probably not the priority that Patrol is any further questions okay thank you very much thank you motion hasn't made and seconded or in favor aye any opposed push it guys emotionally adoption as well item number nine uh recommendations from the traffic commission to amend ordinances emotionally refer to traffic ordinances the appropriate motion referred to the audience committee
