Communication Item 7D is an email from Valerie Speredelozzi requesting a letter of support for a new charter school that would include a Spanish English immersion program to submit to the RI Department of Education (RIDE) and potential rental of the South Road School building. It is noted that the State of Rhode Island paid approximately $5,000 a month in rent to the Town for the use of the South Road School building during the pandemic, and it would cost approximately $50,000 a year in rent for basic utilities alone if it were to be used as a charter school. Discussion ensues relative to the status of proposed legislation on a moratorium on charter schools.
Mr. Manni notes that during the Town Manager’s Report he will provide a profile on the Town libraries, the grant application for the Peace Dale Library renovation, provide an update on RIDOT maintenance of Old Tower Hill Road, and the Town wide water ban.

The Town currently receives $18,000 in funding for a Senior Services Specialist who provides critical information and guidance to seniors related to Senior Health Insurance, Medicare and Medicare fraud prevention programs. The new requirement of the grant stipulates that the primary contractor (currently Tri-County Community Action Plan) must provide the funded services as direct delivery and can no longer utilize community-based sub-contractors like the Senior Center.
New Business Item 11C concerns an amendment to an award of contract to Garofalo & Associates, Inc. for engineering services for the Fresh Meadow Brook Culvert Repair Project in an amount not to exceed $69,675, including a contingency of $10,000, with funding from the Road Improvement Reserve Fund.

9. TOWN MANAGER’S REPORT
The Town Manager introduces eight-year-old Hudson Domack, his mother Jessica Domack, and Heather Robenhymer, Account Manager from the RI Blood Center and gives a brief overview of the RI Blood Drive being held during the month of August. Hudson comments on his experience needing 96 blood transfusions within the first year of his life and in order to give back to the community and express his thanks to the Blood Center he organizes a blood drive every year for his birthday. His goal is to get 96 donors and requests people to consider donating. Ms. Robenhymer reviews the country-wide blood shortage and the importance of blood donations. Hudson’s blood drive code is 0943.
The Town Manager presents a profile on the Town Libraries. The Peace Dale Library was originally built in 1891 as a theater and was later donated to the Town by the Hazard family. The Peace Dale Library averages about 175 visitors per day.
It is noted that the livestream experienced technical difficulties due to weather conditions and discussion ensues relative to continuing the meeting. The Town Solicitor notes that there are no Open Meeting Act violations and the meeting can continue.
Mr. Manni resumes his presentation on the Town Libraries. The Kingston Free Library originally built between 1775 and 1776 as a county courthouse and served as one of the original state houses for the General Assembly. The Library averages about 45 visitors per day. The Robert Beverly Hale Library located in the Matunuck area was originally bult in 1896 in dedication to the son of author Edward Hale who wrote “A Man Without A Country”, and the Library averages 17 visitors per day. Mr. Manni reviews the budget for the three libraries and states that approximately 25% of the library budget is funded by the State with the remaining percentage being from the tax levy. There are 10 full-time employees, 16 part-time employees, and 8,282 library cardholders. The Town is currently applying for a grant to upgrade the second floor of the Peace Dale Library.
The Town Manager reviews RI Department of Transportation (DOT) maintenance of Old Tower Hill Road. The area including the medians and sidewalks are being cleaned up and maintained. RIDOT is coming back in October to maintain the bio-retention areas further.
The Town Manager gives an update on the Town-wide water ban that was put into effect on July 11, 2022. The water used in a day exceeds the water collected in a night and a high percentage of the water was being used to water lawns. Richard Bourbonnais, Director of Public Services/Town Engineer and Chris Jacobs, Representative from Veolia are present for discussion and questions. Factory Pond is already capped and the other aquifer in Green Hill has three existing wells, but an insufficient filtration system which would cost approximately $12 million to bring them to the required standards. The Town is making efforts to obtain congressional funding for this project and a plan is being put in place.
Chris Jacobs gives a brief synopsis on the all-outdoor water ban enacted in response to increased water demand and lack of rainfall which hasn’t yet improved. Mr. Jacobs reviews his attendance at the RI Drought Advisory Subcommittee meeting relative to providing a drought advisory to the governor for assistance. Essential water use is sustainable with the current aquifer conditions, and issues arise with increased irrigation.
Discussion ensues relative to the water ban timeline and weather conditions, the collaboration with Narragansett on pumping schemes due to a shared water pump, and Veolia’s long term and short-term goals.
Mr. Jacobs notes the main issue with water usage is automatic sprinkler systems. Veolia’s long term goal is researching for a new well source outside of the current aquifer and working on a feasibility study. Short term goals are consistent maintenance and improvements on their wells. Mr. Jacobs notes there is not a lot that can be done when in a drought and conservation is essential.
Discussion ensues relative to the high volume of turf farms pulling from the Chipuxet aquifer, the ability to monitor household water usage, educating households on water conservation, and drought resistant plantings for lawns. Veolia has water saving kits available at their office. The outdoor water saving kits consist of lower use nozzles, rain gauge, and a moisture gauge. The indoor kits consist of low volume shower heads, and other water reduction tools.
The Town Manager’s Miscellaneous Report dated August 4, 2022 is accepted, approved and placed on file.

F. Mark Prince, School Superintendent is present and reviews their proposed School Building Committee (SBC) membership, and the RI Department of Education (RIDE) membership requirements. Mr. Prince also reviews the community events, school facility assessments, demographic studies, interviews with the Administration, and educational program reviews that will be presented to the SBC for analysis. Stage I of the process is assessing and identifying that facilities are in need, and Stage II of the process includes formation of the SBC, their review of all studies and assessments, and making recommendations to solve identified needs. The estimated timeline for Stage II would be approximately between September 2022 and February 2023. Findings will be presented to the School Committee and then presented to the Council if approved.
The Town Solicitor reviews RIDE membership appointment requirements, noting that the School Committee’s proposal meets the requirement of a minimum of 8 members. The Council is free to add members they wish to appoint as long as those members fit RIDE criteria with the exception of the School Committee members.
Discussion ensues relative to RIDE application deadlines, December 1, 2023 being the shovel ready deadline to maximize state reimbursement, the effects on the timeline if the proposed SBC members are not approved at this meeting, and the ability to submit a RIDE application without appointed members. It is noted that School Committee members appointed to the SBC are designated by the School Committee. Concerns are noted relative to the School Committee exchanging members due to upcoming elections, and not considering other community members to serve.
Mr. Prince reviews the community education process, offers to provide periodic updates to the Town Council, and states the SBC meetings will be held as public meetings without a public comment section in accordance with the RI Open Meetings Act.
Discussion ensues relative to establishing the Committee, the ability to appoint additional members at a future date, and the process for choosing the proposed member with architectural and construction experience.
Mr. Prince discusses establishing and organizing SBC meetings, inspection of the school facilities, and efforts in community engagement.
Discussion ensues relative to the importance of understanding the charge of the SBC and what decision making power they will hold. The SBC will be responsible for reviewing school facility assessments, demographic studies, interviews with the Administration, and educational program reviews; and making recommendations to the School Committee. If the recommendations are approved by the School Committee, they will then be submitted to the Town Council for review and approval. Discussion ensues further relative to adding Lucas Murray, Director of Administrative Services and Brian Silvia, Finance Director to the SBC, and issues with appointing too many members to the SBC.
Discussion ensues relative to the importance of allowing public comments at the SBC meetings, within reason so that work of the Committee can still be accomplished. It is further discussed that the details of Stage I of the process only identifies that there are needs, and Stage II is when a plan gets developed to address those needs. There is general consensus to remove one School Committee member and add the Town’s Director of Administrative Services, for a total of 9 members.
Discussion ensues relative to the benefits of having an odd number of committee members.
Councilwoman Kelso makes a motion to create a School Building Committee and appoint members as proposed by the School Committee, with the elimination of one School Committee member and the addition of the Director of Administrative Services, for a total of 9 members.
The Town Solicitor advises that the motion should include the School Building Committee charge as presented.
Councilwoman Kelso states that her motion leaves the selection of a School Committee member to the Chair of that body.
Discussion ensues relative to the RIDE requirement that the School Committee appoint 3 ex-officio voting members, meaning that they serve by virtue of their respective positions, those being the School Superintendent, the High School principal and a member of the School Committee.
Councilwoman Kelso continues her motion: the Town Council will name their appointments of the Superintendent of Schools, Mark Prince; the School Committee Chair will choose a member to represent that body; the local official responsible for building maintenance will be Brian Mahoney; the representative of the office or body authorized by law to construct school buildings in the municipality will be James Manni; the School Principal will be Chip McGair; the member who has knowledge of the educational mission and function of the facilities should be named by the School Committee, there is some uncertainty about that position at the moment; local budget official or member of the local finance committee will be Raquel Pellerin; member of the community with architectural, engineering and/or construction experience will be David Palazzetti; and we will add the Director of Administrative Services, Lucas Murray.
Council Vice President Collins seconds the motion.
Discussion ensues.

A roll call vote is taken, and it is
VOTED: to create a Town of South Kingstown School Building Committee (SBC) to consist of nine members with regard to the school construction project to consist of construction and/or renovation to the South Kingstown High School, so that the SBC may provide input relative to the effect of the project on the community, examine any building design and construction plans for reasonableness, and, if the Town proceeds to construct the project in question, so that the SBC may be responsible for the planning and supervision of the construction.
