I.                   NEW BUSINESS

            Please Note in Accordance with Section 42-46-6 (b) the Council May Review, Discuss and/or   take Action on the following items:

1)                  Discussion and Reconsideration of the Request by the Maddie Potts Foundation for Reimbursement of Current and Future Building, Electrical, and Mechanical Permit Fees Associated with the Construction of the Maddie Potts Field House

 

Council Present Carpenter reviewed the history of this item. She explained Letters were sent to Charlestown and Hopkinton to also donate the 1/3 portion of the building permit fees. She advised both Councils have declined to contribute the 1/3 towards the fee. She requested Town Planner Lacey explain the costs associated with building permits.  

 

Town Planner Lacey explained when the Department reviews what the hourly rate would be to review, about $145.00 per hour. This would be a general business rate. As it relates to this building permit the time would be included plan check review, building application completeness, implementing into the permitting software, inspections, and closing out the permit. This would not consider follow-up inspection, or field changes. This would be about 30 hours. This would be about $4,300.  The fee structure is intended to recover the costs separate from State fees.

 

Councilor Cacciola questioned what the other towns contributed would be? Town Planner Lacey explained at the last meeting each town would pay a 1/3.

 

Vice President Palmisciano explained after you remove the $500 that was paid to the state, it was $4,620 divided by three towns, which was $1,540 per town. The Town of Richmond was to return $1,540.00.

 

Council President Carpenter thanked Planner Lacey for review. Maybe we should request this from the district as all the communities will benefit. She is disappointed in the other towns’ response. We are a tri- town community that will benefit. She is also disappointed that is a procedure to exempt fees for non-profit organizations. However she does support the action the Town Council took supporting the 1/3.

 

Vice President Palmisciano questioned if the public could speak.

 

Council President Carpenter advised this was for Council’s reconsideration. She does see the presence of the Potts’ Foundation and wishes their presence and strength were also at the meetings of Hopkinton and Charlestown. She will, however, permit one speaker from the Potts’ Foundation.

 

Vice President Palmisciano also accepts the decision but is not in agreement with the approach. Each town spent 30 minutes discussing this. Several Council were in favor but then changed. He explained this building is being turned over to the district. If it was built by the district these fees would never be charged. He also explained at the Tree Lighting all DPW hours were volunteered and Police volunteer at Matthew’s wish, and why could not the Building Department volunteer their time for this? Is it so important to capture this fee when this will be a great benefit for the Richmond children? We should also consider waiving future fees.

 

Councilor Cacciola commented she is happy Richmond could contribute to the foundation, but disheartened that Charlestown and Hopkinton did not.

 

Discussion ensued on fee reimbursement.

 

Stephanie Potts thanked Council for considering. She also stated the General Contractor advised her that they will not need additional inspections based on what has been granted to the state. She advised 30 hours of Richmond staff time is excessive. The Foundation will not require the 30 hours of time, for inspection to build the Maddie Potts Foundation.

 

Council President Carpenter supported the Planner as this is his wheel house.

 

Town Planner Lacey further explained the time is further than inspections.

 

A motion was made to reimburse the Maddie Potts Foundation for the remaining $3,080 in Building Permit Fees paid and to waive any future building permit, mechanical or electrical fees by Vice President Palmisciano.  No Second Motion Fails.

 

A motion was made to waive any future building permit, mechanical or electrical fees for the Maddie Potts Foundation by Vice President Palmisciano.  No Second Motion Fails.

 

Vice President Palmisciano questioned as a citizen could he do fundraising efforts to support the cause?

Town Solicitor Ellsworth stated there is no issue with fundraising as a private citizen.

 

2)                  Discussion and Consideration of a Request of Wood River Health Services for Allocation from the Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund established under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 from the Town of Richmond in the amount of $196,077

 

Allison Croke, President and CEO from Wood River Health Services thanked the Council for putting this on the agenda. She further explained her request with the interpretation of ARPA funds. She discussed the impact of COVID in the community, COVID fatigue, workforce crisis, and demand for testing. She also stated she had submitted the same proposal to Hopkinton and Charlestown.

 

Vice President Palmisciano questioned what the other towns had done. Croke advised that Hopkinton acknowledged receipt, but nothing from Charlestown.

 

Council President Carpenter recommended referring this to staff as the Council has not determined how the ARPA money is to be allocated.

 

A motion was made to refer the following item to staff for further research and consideration: the Request of Wood River Health Services for Allocation from the Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund established under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 from the Town of Richmond in the amount of $196,077 by Vice President Palmisciano, seconded by Councilor Newman.                           Vote: President Carpenter, Aye; Vice President Palmisciano, Aye; Councilor Newman, Aye; Councilor Cacciola, Aye

3)                  Discussion and Consideration of a Request of The Nature Conservancy for Property Tax Exemption for a tract of land identified as Map 1 2E Lot 042

 

Cheryl Whitala from the Nature Conservancy explained her request for the newly acquired property formerly known as the Banfield Parcel.

 

Vice President Palmisciano questioned what the tax would be, about $2,353. Town Solicitor Ellsworth advised this property was in open space and TRC would also be in open space.

 

Discussion ensued on tax relief and loss of revenue.

 

Council President Carpenter requested what percentage is off the tax roll.

 

Town Planner Lacey stated land trust about 1,000 also Nature Conservancy, State Land, and TRC. He explained about 50% is protected.  He also stated protected does not mean tax exempt.

 

Town Solicitor Ellsworth advised some properties are in Open Space but not tax exempt just reduced.

 

Vice President Palmisciano questioned what neighboring communities that are protected such as Carter Preserve do they pay taxes?

 

Town Solicitor Ellsworth advised on tax exemption status with land conservation.

 

A motion was made to refer the following item to staff  and the Nature Conservancy for further research and consideration to obtain current number of properties exempt by the Town and what the value the Town is not getting if exempt and also obtain Information from other Towns on property exemptions, and continue the Consideration of a Request of The Nature Conservancy for Property Tax Exemption for a tract of land identified as Map 1 2E Lot 042 to the first meeting in February by Vice President Palmisciano, seconded by Councilor Newman.
