okay it has reached six o'clock so the committee on um Finance come to order following the public here in six o'clock if the clerk called the roll council's Kadeem here Dion here Kilby here by Liberty here Pelletier Pereira here proposal here Washington here president Camaro two people have signed up for citizen input the first one is Alexander Silva Sylvia and his subject is Bank Street Armory

hello Alexander Silva 148 Purchase Street um counselors by itself the proposal to convert the bank Street Armory into housing is a good proposal for the city of Fall River that will ensure this neglected underutilized historic resource is redeveloped for future use however the problem is that the proposal is by itself when looking to redevelop an important property most municipalities seek to solicit maximum

number of potential bidders to improve the chances of getting the best results possible for the community instead of casting a wide net to get it to get different ideas and options for the Armory the city did the legal bare minimum and as a result only received one proposal rather than putting the request for proposals out in the standard databases accessible to bidders around the state

region and Country there was only a single ad in the local paper the armories RFP wasn't advertised in the state's Central register like most other public solicitations it wasn't even listed on Fall River's own purchasing webpage if the city truly wanted to transform the Armory into some kind of entertainment or performance venue then the city should issue the request for proposals again specifically tailored to

that vision and make sure as many prospective bidders see it as possible if the Armory is converted into housing the city would lose the opportunity for the iconic building to act as a major economic Catalyst connecting Farmers downtown and Waterfront there doesn't have to be a timeline to sell the Armory for it to become anything less than what the community wants it to be the only timeline is a

result of the ongoing demolition of the building through neglect which could be halted with stabilization efforts and then recouped in the sale price the bank Street Armory means a lot to many people it deserves the chance to mean a lot to many more thank you thank you thank you very much thank you before I call the next speaker down I just want to read the open mini law pursuant to the open meeting law any

person maybe can audio or video recording of this public meeting or may transmit this meeting to any medium attendees are therefore advisor such recordings or Transmissions are being made with the perceived or unperceived by those present and not deemed acknowledged and permissible next we have Danny robillard the subject matter Old Second Street alley

I they might president Kamara members of the council Dan robillard 145 Old Second Street before I begin I want to make a a short statement that I speak here tonight only for myself and not on behalf of any board or commission that I might serve on furthermore I'm not speaking for any of the residents of the hudna building I speak only for myself tonight about two years ago the city planner and

a number of City groups had the idea to attempt to revitalize the Old Second Street alley well the plan might have been good in theory it has turned out to be an absolute disaster they brought tables and chairs in and as a result first of all I don't think the place looks that good to begin with okay I think the point is ugly but beyond that the tables and chairs have brought in uh

and the home was that woman people were congregating there uh almost around the clock that there's drugs being done alcohol being done I've seen and I can't use their my medical professionals at least three times in the last year if something is not done somebody will die in my opinion okay you have two housing complexes right at the base of this alley on the building where I reside and the academy building right

on the side of it okay now I judge no one if there are people there that need treatment they need shelter they need a housing whatever they need get them the surfaces they need but get them out of this alley they are disrupting the quality of life of the residents of these two buildings once again I judge nobody Society could judge me every second of every day this is not about

their needs and the problems that they face this is about congregation in an hourly way that is centered right in the middle of two elderly and disabled housing complexes about a year ago there was a petition signed by at least residents and ownership of the hunting building I'm not sure if the academy building was involved or not as far as I know that petition uh died in committee I'm not

sure of the exact uh status of it what I like to see it resurrected I'd like to see a meeting held and I really like to see that Howie cleaned up because if not somebody will die there I'm with that 22 years the last two and a half have been hell on Earth because of this issue okay thank you Mr Robot thank you very much thank you thank you item number two a discussion would be

God's hiring and retaining police officers it was tabled on 12 27-22 and approached the lift from the table second she was remain second all in favor aye any opposed motion carries

you can bring her down

good evening City administrator good evening sir we just had this on the table so we figured we'd have some discussion on it it was last year before in the December 27th right after between the Christmas and New Year's holidays and we uh tabled it for now so if you want to give us an opening on what's being made or you want to just have counselors ask your questions uh either

way I can very briefly uh bring this up to date is that okay talk to you great um okay so as you know uh in December this was raised um and I believe Patrol came down uh there were some very serious concerns that the administration was was equally sensitive to Public Safety is is frankly everything uh if you don't have that it's really hard to to build a city that people feel safe in

in good about uh and there's a lot of great things happening in the city and I think Public Safety underpins all of it um with regard to uh the issues that existed in December some of those have been addressed with the new um mou that was signed with Patrol in February that was ratified to this Council and then adjusted through superiors MO you that was I believe agreed on in April and then ratified by

this Council in June the idea there was that um for uh sorry many years just because the city was was Cash poor we were not able to offer raises to patrol and Superior officers and police and that allowed us to fall significantly behind surrounding communities and the result was of course that we were having trouble retaining and recruiting the best officers for our Police Department so what we did with

the new wage scale that this council did ratify was bring up a new officer to a wage that is close to what the surrounding communities on the average are paying it allows us to compete for officers and in addition to that we have a loan program that if an officer Begins the academy we pay for the Academy we pay for the equipment we it's about nine thousand dollars that was a pretty

significant bar to recruitment for some officers they would have to pay out of their own pocket and then uh basically hope for the best in their police career to ultimately recoup that over time what we do now is we loan them that money and if they stay for three years the loan turns into a grant and it's forgiven um so that I believe has lowered the bar to join the police force the new wage

scale I think has certainly made it easier for officers to support their families and and basically do the job that is so important to the city one of the things that we look at is obviously Manpower and I don't mean that person power officer power I apologize for the for the gender specific term but Manpower um we are still short I think at the time we were 22 officers down we're still 18 officers down

um that is in large part attributable to the attrition of retirement with a few officers that have left for disciplinary reasons um in this since uh well at least in 2023 so in the last seven months there have been no officers that have left voluntarily so I think that's a good thing and that's a change in the last two years prior to that there were six officers that left voluntarily not

retired not disciplined but just left either to go to other smaller police departments or to change professions entirely one I believe left to become a photographer and so we have not lost any officers due to voluntary position and um in addition to Manpower I think availability is the other thing that the police look at we have been able to successfully um bring on a group of young motivated

really effective officers who are working more shifts and so the availability pieces is how can you deploy your assets to meet the needs of the department at any given time and that's not simply a Manpower how many people do we have issue it's how many people do we have working how many shifts and so in June of 2022 there were um I believe 83 shifts where we needed to Force officers to fill those shifts

in 2023 June so last month we only had to do that 35 times so less than half the number of times we've had to force officers uh year to year so 35 versus 83 forces is a pretty significant reduction and I think that speaks to the availability issue perhaps even more compellingly than the Manpower issue I think in the next six months you're going to see that Manpower issue change

somewhat that takes a little bit of time because you're putting people through the academy that's a multi-month process and then after that there's a process for the field training officer for then the officers to hit the street so so I think there's probably a year before we actually see a significant Manpower change in terms of availability we're already seeing an effect and I think morale is better

um and with that I will take questions thank you Council seat six comes vice president Pearl I have to tell you I'm glad that you're here Mr Aikens however it's disappointing to me that we're talking about police issues and the chief not be here did we invite the chief we did invite the chief Lauren that to me is disappointing because some of the questions that I would have is what are we spending for overtime money

on additional police a discussion regarding how many officers do we have that are looking at gangs gun shootings because I I see sometimes on Facebook oh there was a shooting here and there I talked to the Chief and that's not true there wasn't a shooting there so I think people read things and assume that there was a shooting or a stabbing and it was a drive-by when it's maybe a domestic

violence which still isn't right but and what are we doing with traffic details to alleviate some of our offices from having to take overtime or to do double duty because officers today on the street are not dealing what they dealt with 10 15 20 years ago and they need to decompress you don't want to burn people out or if they make a mistake because they're just overwhelmed then you know it's a

discipline action the morale I've heard good I've heard bad and that's what I'll tell you I did meet with two offices yesterday because neighbors had concern over an individual neighbor that they hadn't seen there was no nurses going in the cause disappearing people are moving stuff and they call for a wellness check and I have to say I was super impressed with the two young officers that showed up they did an

exemplary job you know so I think that there's good that's happening too but I think that sometimes people look at a negative on Fall River being a very violent Community when I mean to just today a detective in New Bedford was shot I mean he's I'm you know getting better I mean it wasn't fatal but it's scary for officers and those were some of the other questions I have like for example you go to the

police academy you come back how long are you in a car with another officer before you're on the street do you know that answer how many months it is um let's see so yeah it's it's usually eight to twelve months I can give you the specific number so in the chief's defense he and I had a conversation about this and he goes do you need me there um there's some operational stuff that

he shared with me and he said there's just a lot going on can you handle this and I said yes so I apologize we can always have them come back Council um I think I'd like to do that I think I would like to table this again well let's let's get let's see if some questions you hadn't answered some questions people people need to have answers we haven't had a press conference on shootings or whatever and

people are wondering is it bad and I don't think it's that bad so let the the chief take credit with his offices for the good that's being done rather than have negative uh Shine Down it and if he asked you whether or not he had to be here with all due respect uh Mr Akins that's not your call that's the president's call not your call okay it's the president's call am I

right well Council yes and no first of all the resolution is about hiring and retaining officers administrative stuff the chief like I said was kind of we put this agenda together you get to notice um certain Humanity conversation he felt he could handle the questions let it run its cost let us get its questions and if we can always have the chief come back he's not afraid to come to the council

meeting I agree I don't think he couldn't come and he spoke to you then you could have put it on another day I'm not saying that the chief you know is incompetent to be here I believe he is but I just I feel bad that he's not and if he couldn't come so I didn't say he couldn't go through here I didn't say he couldn't come I did not speak to

the chief personally so but I was told I told him you're invited if you can make it that's fine if not we can do it another time or whatever but let it run its course let's get the answers hiring and retaining police officers that's where it's about it's an administrative so that's what it is may I I'm sorry with that I yield thank you that's okay we're good come to see four Council of Liberty I just

had over the last seven months to go elsewhere no voluntary so there's been no voluntary departures to other departments when did Sergeant Smith leave Sergeant Smith I thought was a retirement no yeah no no there was one this week I think there's been and do we know if the three officers that were going to the fire department did they go to the fire department so that was last year one did

go to the apartment two rescinded their chair and sort of the fire department when we signed the new mou we are going to table this and oh thank you thank you Council CD Council Washington oh yield if we're going to table this

I don't think it does anyone any good to um forgive me just blast someone for not being here with the complexities of of his job and his position you don't know what may be happening and there's an officer here obviously it may be a crisis there may be something happening within the city that prevents the chief of police from being here so I think to go off a little bit on

graduated on that the council prayer I'm sorry but I have to say what I have to say okay you have been United yeah and councilman thank you for being stable and very logical in terms of your approach to being president which I enjoy I think I think that um we can handle this and we can have him come on at a later date to go over this very important issue because I have some questions too

but this this probably a logical reason why he couldn't be here so thank you thank you Council you you yes I do thank you come to C2 comes down I only have one question you made um note of the fact that we were down to 22 officers now we're we have 18 so we and does that include the academy you're speaking of the one or does it not so that includes

um so we we've hired 13 officers well our Big Picture answer and I'll I'll answer the specific question but just so you have the context um in 2023 we've hired 14 officers plus one environmental police officer which makes the number of environmental police officers too so it's a it's a 15 officer Edition so far in 2023 in the Years halfway through we hired a total of 18 in 2022.

um so the fact that we're down um 18 total does include the nine officers that just graduated from the academy uh they're not away from their field training officers yet but they'll be on the road later at the very end of this year um and then the um the 18 to some extent includes retirements other just general attrition that you know that we were expecting are aware of so essentially in the last

say two years we'll call it two years between retirements involuntary departures voluntary departures and academies we've only gained four officers we went from 22 vacancies to 18.

so that tells us we had a lot of departures um I don't think it's as simple as that like I I think I guess we could we could say that right but I don't think it's actually that simple uh because you know every year you're going to count on some retirements um every year you know you might count on any number of other reasons why somebody might either depart to go to a

different department or change careers whatever and then you have a number of officers you can count on on bringing in um the fact that we had the 22 and that we reduced that by four I think actually suggests a bigger game than just those four spots um the fact that we had two officers that were transferring to fire that rescinded their transfer um is certainly very positive the fact

that over the last two years we had six officers voluntarily just leave not for medical not for retirement not for discipline and we haven't had any in that I'm aware of and I can check on Sergeant Smith um in the last several months I think is certainly uh indicative of some change that we'll probably see continue to improve over the next six months to a year okay and I said one question but I

lied I have a second one so as much as people hate it and it's done all the time how do we fare compared to New Bedford in terms of retention and this numbers the numbers Etc do we know um and and if if they're doing better than us what are they doing differently that we should do or if we're doing better good for us so one of the things I've learned the

hard way in this job is is not to guess or speculate even when I really want to to be helpful um my sense is that we are doing better there's a lot of vacancies in New Bedford um but I can get you the actual numbers and confirm that sense okay maybe we can have that one next time with that I yield thank you any further questions come to see one Council team just one quick question

um so the well it's time to talk about Manning hours do you have the IOD numbers as well I do not I mean can you get them yeah if you can get that because I think the engine on duty numbers are also going to play into how many actual uh you know from a staffing level how many people we have to be able to operate the department with and comp time retirement numbers right

with that I yield thank you eight Council Washington final question no what's that yep thank you just want to make sure that everyone's understand the resolution that was tabled was for hiring and retaining police officers there might be other questions that we want to talk about violence in our community if that's one of them we buy you need to file a new resolution so we can better prepare everyone for what

we're going to talk about so I just want to make it clear with everyone um we motion to the table have to be made by Council seat three and seconded all in favor aye any opposed motion is now tabled

Finance is now adjourned city councilman will begin at seven o'clock

pursued to the open meeting law any person may make an audio or video recording of this public meeting or may transmit this meeting to any medium attendees are therefore advised that such recordings or Transmissions are being made with the perceived or perceived by those present and not deemed acknowledged and permissible I'm Clark the first item is The Miz request for the confirmation of the appointment of

Dennis Soares to the cultural Council motion to approve second motion to approve confirmation as a meeting seconded all in favor aye any opposed motion carries the second is a request for the confirmation of the appointment of John Lapointe to the traffic commission motion to approve second motion to confirm has released and second it all in favor aye any opposed motion carries item number three is a communication

from the mayor in a proposal regarding the bank Street uh proposal excuse me review and recommendation with regard to the bank Street Armory foreign counter C2 yeah I just like to make some comments on this um and I get it's going to finance and we'll have our opportunity but I wasn't here at the last meeting when the Armory was discussed um there's been some misinformation on it saying that the

possession never went to the RDA when in fact it really did I'd like to know what the appraised value so people can be prepared when we have it in finance I'd like to have people here who can answer these questions I guess is my point uh could you be free to invite anyone I'll ask anyone who they want to invite you because one of the things that was in here originally the disposition of the Armory

to a private developer shall be for a dis a disposition price of not less than the assessed value of the Omri at the time of said disposition I don't know that 200 000 is the assessed value um also I am having a very hard time with the fact that 400 just shy of 400 000 in taxpayer dollars have gone into that building and we're going to sell it to somebody for two hundred thousand

dollars to me that's slapping the taxpayers in the face when you take their money and spend double what you're selling it to a developer for I don't care who the developer is or where they come from that's a slap in the face in my book um it's just I don't know it's not something I can support and for me there's gonna have to be some serious changes to support selling that Omri

with that I'll yield thank you motion hasn't made and seconded all in favor aye any opposed motion carries item number four is a communication from the mayor and a proposal for Bristol County Opera funding in the amount of 450 000 for the preliminary design efforts in Stafford Square second motion refer to finance has remain seconded all in favor aye any opposed motion carries item five is the mayor's communication

and proposal for Bristol County Opera funding in the amount of three million dollars for the city's particip participation in the Route 79 project to upgrade the drainage system and other improvements in this area Finance has amazing second is all in favor aye on the motion uh counseling seat seven Council proposal yeah it's just a clarification question this three million is a part of the Six Million six

million which on our list is the unidentified Water Project yeah of the Bristol County Opera funds yes yes okay I yield thank you thank you councilman motion has been made and seconded all in favor I heard eyes any opposed motion carries items referred to finance item six is a communication from the mayor in an order requesting approval of a five-year contract for bus school bus

transportation with railing Whaling City Transit we also received a communication from the school committee indicating that this uh a vote was taken last evening with the school committee and there was a favorable vote taken I have a question the school committee did vote on this as well last evening and the vote taken was a favorable vote it was four two supposed to show it up second motion

would be to accept communication place of file.org and refer the item to finance is that the motion Council yes yes I can second it on the motion content success Council vice president the only question I have is there a time limit on on this uh to get these contracts out because then we don't have another meeting until the end of August August you know so I'm just not sure that's the only question I had

no one knows is there a time limit on this or not how soon can we make a motion away the rules to have them come down second motion wave was a mean signal in favor be opposed come on down please

do I still have the flaw Mr President Mr Pacheco and if you I guess you have to identify yourself I'm sorry forever Public Schools uh rickleberry consultant to the mayor with regard to the electric bus project thank you um when do you have to have this vote from the council by so the the term the five-year term is what's in question not the contract itself because the contract itself is

approved by the school committee okay but just the five years so I'm only looking for the term I can't we can't do the term without permission from the council so it's just going to be able to put out a bid for five years unless you it's not a bid so this is already it's this the contract is already the agreement has been approved by the school committee it's just a term that's

that's in question in the term of the contract the term of the agreement that we're looking for an extension of the current um rfrp that went out in uh 2020 2020 um was um listed as all of the uh Roots all of the particulars of the contracts so what we're looking for is that term and the reason we're looking for that term is that we're ready to start doing the infrastructure at The Whaling City Depot

and obviously Whaling City does not want construction going on in their site unless they have a contract um so that's the urgency of the of the request when the electric bus project was accepted uh the grant money from EPA and the clean energy commission the commitment by the city was to operate the school buses for a minimum of five years the contractor also had to make a commitment to operate the school

buses for five years which outlived the term of her original contract hence uh disagreement for uh for the additional five years so it brings the contract coterminus with the commitment with regard to the EPA grants and the CEC grants for the electric buses so we need a motion to approve for the five years yes does it take time Mr President obviously impression need to go to France

committee but it does not need to go it doesn't because there's no Finance well then I would make a motion that we approved for the five year

the motion was to go to finance where it doesn't need to go to finance do you want to change it a motion to approve the five-year contract second to the electric buses thank you on the motion to approve the five-year contract you yield counselor I do Council C1 Council team thank you Mr President so so I recognize as the legislative body we've got to approve contracts anything over three years so

my I guess I just heard that so the EPA Grant is requiring a five-year operation or no what it's requiring is is that we have an agreement in place for the operation of the bus for five years okay and without an extension so to speak we don't have that yeah um so then my other question is is just seeing that there were two opposed it would were there any was there any

reason given for the opposition for the two committee members in terms of the duration or the term of the contract the the opposition if I understand it as I was there um was that the proceed procedurally it wasn't presented to the school committee prior to the need for the five-year contract gotcha so it wasn't really necessarily any issues with the five-year contract exactly are you thank you awesome

any other questions motion to adopt approve has been made and second all in favor aye any opposed motion case thank you very much thank you thank you thank you now quick item seven is the FY 23 quarter four budget report closure at a finance second motion further committee and friends have made the second all in favor um any opposed motion carries we have the traffic commission recommending amendments to the traffic

give us a citation for Richard and Debbie Danner

can I just say something about Rick and Debbie Dana absolutely these are two people that do a lot a lot of work for the library donate a lot of time and they're great uh donators and contributors to all things kids but they also we're instrumental in paying for changes in latitude and the concept that was held yesterday and they've done that in the past they're just great people and been doing a lot of work and

sometimes I just don't think that we stop and thank people that do so much and contribute so much to the city so I thank everyone for approving this citation for them thank you thank you Council good work motion to adopt a remaining second or in favor aye any opposed motion carries item 11 is a citation for Bobby Justin motion to adopt second motion to adopt is a minute and seconded all in favor aye any opposed

motion carries we have the order granting permission to Peter Whalen for the removal of curbing on Ford Judson Street second motion to adopt has a meeting second and all in favor any opposed motion carries I have the police Chiefs report on licenses motion to adopt hasn't made and seconded all in favor aye any opposed modern counties 14 is a request to um revoke a storage permit um for the property located at

what's that 32 William Street yes 323 William Street Canyon Boulevard exactly this the tanks were not installed at this location so that it is not necessary

proposal so just curious were there was there a change in plans for this property if I'm correct here wasn't this supposed to be the property that was supposed to become a gas station yes that was recently demolished so is there a change of plans for the property now I assume there are they got in touch with our office and said that they never installed the tanks and they're they're

not planning on moving forward so what is it do we know if it's a different developer that's going to develop the land or we do not know that that's all they told us and we did confirm with the fire department that the tanks were never installed so would it be possible to find out get an update on what that property was going to become that'd be good we can check with the planning department excellent

thank you very much I yield motion 200 million seconds all in favor aye any opposed motion carries

we have a number of claims motion to refer to Corporation Council Corporation Council has a meeting seconded all in favor aye any opposed motion carries item 16 is a communication from Robert shank regarding a water drain repair reimbursement he also filed a claim uh which is what was just referred to The Corporation Council okay people to speak on against people that have an emotion in a second

please accept the place on file someone's second should have made it seconded on the motion content C6 College vice president the only question I have is uh Mr Shank had a pipe that broke from the street to his house it was a lead pipe and there was one other one at the last council meeting that came in from someone now we took Opera money and I believe uh Council Dion was instrumental in putting

Opera money into water to do the lead pipes now this is a lead service that the city would have had to do now that it broke before the city got there now the homeowner is paying and they don't feel it's fair that all the other ones in the city that are being replaced are being replaced with the Opera money and they're not um because it broke so I don't know what

committee this should go to or where but I think there's an injustice here and I know that the drain layer that did this particular one I know he called the city to send a bill to the city which was less expensive than what it's going to cost the city to do it so I I don't understand I don't know what committee book works I think we need to look look into this Public Works in transportation
