Council Vice President McEntee makes a motion to adopt the budget as written with an amendment to Account 1370, contribution to the Southern RI Chamber of Commerce by increasing the proposed amount from zero dollars to $7,000. Councilman O’Neill seconds the motion.
Discussion ensues relative to revising the motion to consider this proposed amendment as an independent item, to allow for any additional amendments to the budget to be presented and considered.
Council Vice President McEntee revises her motion to amend the budget by adding $7,000 to Account 1370 Southern RI Chamber of Commerce, increasing the amount from zero to $7,000. Mrs. McEntee states this is a contribution from the Town that has gone on for at least 20 years if not longer, and she feels that supporting local outside agencies that work toward the betterment of this community is important, and she believes the Chamber of Commerce does exactly that.
Councilman O’Neill seconds the revised motion, and discussion ensues.
Councilwoman Fogarty suggests splitting the funds by giving $4,000 to the Chamber of Commerce and giving the $3,000 that was for holiday spending to the Downtown Merchants and Peace Dale Neighborhood Revitalization. This is an option that the Council could look at so all the $7,000 stays in the community.
Council President Whaley invites comments from the audience.
Maureen Martin is present and comments that she agrees that the Chamber of Commerce probably works for the betterment of the Town, and asks what the Council’s stated criteria is for other groups who might want to get involved in a grant such as this, her understanding was this kind of money was for non-profit groups, and asks what other kind of groups could come forward.
The Town Manager explains that the Town considers funding applications submitted by outside agencies, and briefly describes the agencies that are receiving funding. Mr. Alfred explains there has been no specific criteria that has been developed by the Council, it has really been on an annual basis that they reaffirm the support levels that they’ve had in prior years.
Ms. Martin states for the record, as a taxpayer, that she would prefer to see her tax money put to better use than supporting a group that has the ability to raise money, and that has membership fees, and that could be self-supporting. She comments in regard to the circulation of a budget petition in opposition to this proposed funding.
Council President Whaley discusses some of the Chamber’s contributions to local groups.
A roll call vote is taken, and it is
VOTED: to increase Account 1370 Chamber of Commerce from zero dollars to $7,000.
Whaley – yes McEntee – yes Eddy – no Fogarty – no O’Neill – yes
The motion passes 3 to 2.
Council President Whaley makes a motion to amend Account 1372 Washington County Regional Planning Council by increasing the donation by $500, from $2,500 to $3,000. Councilman O’Neill seconds the motion.
Councilman O’Neill speaks in favor of the additional funding for the Washington County Regional Planning Council.
Council President Whaley speaks in support of this group and its accomplishments.
Councilwoman Eddy comments that the group appears to have improved since she attended their meetings as the Town’s representative.
Councilwoman Fogarty comments in support of the group’s work and agrees with Mrs. Eddy that they have made improvements since she attended their meetings as the Town’s representative.
There being no comments from interested citizens, a vote is taken and it is
UNANIMOUSLY VOTED: to increase Account 1372 Washington County Regional Planning Council from $2,500 to $3,000.
The Town Manager indicates that with the two amendments passed, the expenditure statement will be increased by $7,500, and suggests the Council consider a third amendment as follows:
A resolution amending the Town Manager’s Proposed Budget whereby Account 41401 Payment In Lieu Of Taxes be increased by $7,500, from $227,206 to $234,706.
Mr. Alfred states that this will provide the expenditure to income statement to be in balance, without any changes to any of the other revenue accounts. The additional $7,500 is available because subsequent to the submission of this proposed budget to the Council, it was determined that Bayberry House, the new housing development near the police station, as a property exempt will be paying 8% of the rental income that’s received, that’s forecast at almost $7,900. He is recommending only $7,500 because it is their first year.
Councilwoman Eddy makes a motion that the Town Manager’s Proposed Budget revenue account 41401 Payment In Lieu of Taxes be increased by $7,500 from the amount of $227,206 to the amount of $234,706. Council Vice President McEntee seconds the motion, and discussion ensues.
Councilwoman Fogarty notes that this budget is a zero percent tax increase to the community, a fact we should be celebrating, and thanks the Town Manager and Finance Director for their efforts.
Council members congratulate staff for a job well done.
Councilwoman Eddy moves to approve the budget as amended. Councilman O’Neill seconds the motion, and it is
