General Communications Public Comment
RULE 41.
After the General Communications and prior to the Consent
Calendar at each City Council Public Hearing meeting there shall be a fifteen
minute period during which citizens may comment about Warwick city
government issues subject to the following stipulations:
a) The total period of time for public comment shall be 15 minutes.
Comments need to be brief in order to allow as many citizens as possible
to participate.
b) The topics for comment shall be issues directly affecting City government.
c) City Council members will not respond to questions during the public
comment period.
d) The public comment session will terminate at the expiration of 15 minutes.
Waiver of this provision requires unanimous consent.
1. Richard Corrente thanks Councilman Merolla for standing up for Bob
Cushman. Are there any conflicting reports to Mr. Cushmans report? If
so, would they be allowed to speak?
2. Chris Ougheltree Lives on the Eastern part of the airport. Air monitor
1
has been moved and should be put in a more westerly site. Winslow
Park- concerned about residential parking after it opens on August 1.
Was supposed to be only one access on Airport Road. No thru traffic,
should be reviewed. Concerned about speeding. How will the City
maintain these fields? Hopes there will be bags for animal waste and
human trash. There needs to be a neighborhood meeting with the
leagues about the noise (announcements and music).
3. Janice Pangman Thanks for RIAC meeting with neighbors. Wants a
no thru traffic on Warwick Avenue to Lakeshore. Driveways are
being used as a turn around and parking to use the walking path.
Many children in the neighborhood. Dangerous. Not happy that
Winslow Park is a done deal. Has devalued her property.

Salute To The Flag: Marie T. Ahlert
General Communications Marie T. Ahlert, City Clerk - Final City Council Meeting before retiring
1. Councilman Colantuono thanks Council Members for Marching in the Gaspee
Parade and also commends the Police, Fire and Public Works Departments for
an excellent job. He was told it was the best parade from a Cranston
Councilman. He also recognizes Marie Ahlert for her outstanding job as City
Clerk and Thanks her.
2. Council President Travis thanks Marie for being a great employee and friend.
3. Councilwoman Vella-Wilkinson thanks Marie for what she has done for the City,
as an advocate for the Trudeau Center and as an advocate for the veterans of
the City of Warwick. Councilwoman salutes Marie.
4. Councilman Ladouceur requests that Marie sing and record the Anthem for the
Council to remember her by, and thanks her for her service and direction,
responding to emails late at night and appreciates all of the help she has given
him.
5. Councilman Gallucci shares with Marie that it has been a long time, since 1993,
and it has been his honor and pleasure to support and recommend her
nomination for city clerk. and after all these years it has been the right choice.
She is acknowledged as running the best City Clerks office in the State.
6. Councilwoman Usler says that Marie was the first person she met after
becoming a Council Member and tells how nice Marie is, amazing at her job and
wishes her the best in the future.
7. Councilman Merolla tells that for 17 years, Marie has always been right there
with a straightforward answer and was very helpful to the Council Members. That
her foresight in thinking has not only benefited the City of Warwick, but also the
State of RI. The Probate system is commended around the state and other
Clerks offices turn to Marie for advice. The City is going to need more than two
people to replace her and he wishes her well in her retirement.
8. Councilman Solomon remembers back in 1993, that Marie as a young lady had a
thirst for knowledge and Ted Sheehan said she will do well and he was right.
Today, she is still a young lady, with a wealth of knowledge that she has shared
and thanks her for her services over the years.
PUBLIC COMMENT
RULE 41.
to participate.
1
comment period.
1. Don Fife Ward 1 He knew Maries parents after he retired and they were
the nicest people you could meet. Marie had told him to stay out of
politics. He wishes Marie well, approaches the bench and presents her
with flowers.
2. Roy Dempsey Ward 1 Wishes a good retirement to Marie. He says that
a lot of things should be discussed. Employees havent received wage
increases in 3 years and they should be allowed. The upcoming
increases are not over the board. The tax rate is going up by 3.4% to
raise 4 million dollars in revenues, where only 1.4 million is going to
compensation. Also pulling 3 million dollars from the surplus which makes
it 7 million dollars coming into to the city and only 1.4 going to
compensation. The compensation is not causing the citys problems and
the employees appreciate the problems that the city is facing and even if
the contracts pass that the Council should work with the employees to get
the finances under control. Jefferson Solutions, at last meeting addressed
debt and we should work together to solve.
3. John Kennedy Ward 1 Jefferson Solutions did a good job with the
presentation at last meeting. Buzz words were 20% co-pay, which was
used 15 years ago in the private sector which now the buzz word is 35%
with a $4000 copay. Zero.00% raise increases in the last 9 years in the
private sector. You cant ask people that arent getting raises to pay for
other people to get raises. Unless the problem is tackled now, the City is
chasing residents away.
4. Jerry DiDonato Ward 1 Thanks the Council for the opportunity to be
there. He has some issues with the Warwick Police Department. He had
an incident in February of 2012, He was threatened, but was told he could
not file a complaint because the Officer did not witness it. Next night, his
home was shot, bullet misses his wife and 18 month old grandson she
was holding, next night tires slashed, a trail of blood was left. Police took
samples, but nothing was done because he was told that the Police did
not have that type of database and later told that there was no money to
do it. Mr. DiDonato brought suit against 2 individuals. His family is in
danger yet the City gives out bonuses. A records clerk was served and did
not appear, but then was subpoenaed to appear. The clerk initially did not
remember that she was served to appear, but since no records were on
file, she did not appear the first time. Did not move forward on contempt
charge. Captain Coffey was subpoenaed and appeared at the deposition
with many papers in which Mr. DiDonatos name appeared 22 times
where he had brought suit against the defendants. The defendants hired
private investigator retired Warwick Police Officer Earl Hodson to do a
background check on Mr. DiDonato in summer of 2012. During this
investigation Mr. Hodson was told that Mr. DiDonato was poisoning dogs
in Governor Francis Farms area. The report was given to the Warwick
Police Department. The police reached out to the Warwick Beacon in
which several articles were published regarding the poisoning of dogs.
The police solicited individuals and several complaints were filed against
Mr. DiDonato. Nothing was ever found, but the matter at hand is how they
went about doing this. The actions from the police department have
polarized Mr. DiDonatos family. Eggs have been thrown at his house, car
doors have been kicked in due to the fact that people think that he
poisoned the dogs. Jerry sent the Warwick Police Department a check for
$5000.00 to take a polygraph to rectify the situation. Mr. DiDonato feels
that the Police sounded the alarm before the investigation based on an
assumption from an individual that they know is a problem.

harassment and bullying from their peers and all adults; and
WHEREAS, Rhode Island Department of Education Bylaws G-14-2 requires the Local

thereby establishing an environment that builds respectful relationships, enhances productive
learning and teaching, promotes school engagement and academic success; and

WHEREAS, a recently suspended Gorton Junior High School teacher violated temporal,
communication and relationship boundaries in addition to prevention of sexual harassment policies
with two female students when he drew a picture of a penis on one girl and feces on another. Said
action could be construed as child endangerment, could cause emotional damage to the child which
could lead to a lack of self esteem, serve to desensitize children to inappropriate conduct between
adults and children, encourage instances of sexual harassment, lay a foundation of bullying and
name-calling by fellow students and confuse students regarding respectful and socially acceptable
behavior; and
WHEREAS, the Superintendent of the Warwick School District, Director of Secondary
Education and Compliance Officer failed to take suitable measures in this flagrant and outrageous
violation of State and District policies, including mandatory reporting to DCYF, in further violation
of the public trust. This lack of decisive disciplinary action arbitrarily places the teachers needs
above the students interests, broadcasts the message that selective inappropriate touching of students
and sexualizing the workplace/classroom is tolerated while creating an ethical, respectful learning
environment for children is optional. Furthermore, the Superintendents description of said teacher as
having an unblemished record is an affront to the entire Warwick School District.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Warwick City Council hereby takes a vote
of No Confidence in the leadership abilities of the current Superintendent, Director of Secondary
Education and District Compliance Officer for failure to consistently enforce standards and policies
designed to ensure a safe and respectful environment for children. There is no confidence in the
Superintendent, Director of Secondary Education and District Compliance Officer to take consistent
appropriate disciplinary action in instances of sexual harassment/bullying of students by teachers.
There is no confidence in the Superintendent, Director of Secondary Education and District
Compliance Officer to provide consistent full disclosure to the Warwick School Committee on the
misconduct of School District employees that may result in litigation. There is no confidence in the
Superintendent, Director of Secondary Education and District Compliance Officer to provide
consistent full disclosure to the Mayor of the City of Warwick on the misconduct of School District
employees that may result in litigation. There is no confidence in the Superintendent, Director of
Secondary Education and District Compliance Officer to present consistent truthful characterization
of School District employees.
The City Clerk is hereby directed to forward a copy of this Resolution to the Members of the
School Committee of the City of Warwick.
This Resolution shall take effect upon passage.

Warwick Wastewater Treatment Plant Levee Project

Warwick, Rhode Island
Pare Project No. 15069.00
___________________________________________________________________________________
Project Progress Update No. 1

The following activities have occurred since receiving notification to proceed:
On June 5th PARE engineers met with facility staff and representative from the contractor to discuss
the project and schedule. PARE and the contractor walked the site and reviewed specific areas of
concern, discussed possible solutions, and reviewed the work completed to date.
PARE engineers reviewed the current permit from RIDOT to facilitate the interface of the north end
of the levee with the embankment for Interstate 95. PARE has contacted RIDOT to commence
discussions relative to amending the existing permit/
PARE engineers gathered available reports from previous studies and commenced the development of
subsurface profiles and embankment profiles to facilitate design
PARE received topographic plans and CAD files from AECOM.
PARE contacted RIDEM to continue previous discussions relative to the revised footprint of the levee.
o PARE summarized the problems encountered during installation of the approved fiberglass
sheeting floodwall and indicated that the current approach would raise the earthen levee
where the sheeting was originally planned to be used. RIDEM was generally agreeable to this
approach in light of the problems with the sheeting. PARE discussed the outboard vs.
inboard options and RIDEM was generally agreeable with a permit modification if all of the
work could be done inboard. If any permanent work is necessary in wetlands or beyond the
approved limit of disturbance on the outboard side, RIDEM indicated that a new
Insignificant Alteration permit would be needed. While it was agreed that we all would much
rather stay away from a Significant Alteration permit, he could not rule out the possibility that
such would be necessary. In short, the level of permitting will be heavily dependent on the
specific design.
PARE commenced the development of four typical cross sections;
o New Levee Construction along the north side
o Raising the existing levee with all fill along the inboard (plant) side
o Raising the existing levee with inboard fill and a precast T-Wall at critical locations
o Raising the existing levee with cap that includes inboard and outboard fill.
PARE obtained a copy of the secant wall design for the southernmost clarifier which is an area of
concern.
PARE commenced layout of the levee extension along the northern limits. Currently the alignment
can stay within the approved easement from RIDOT, however the administration parking lot and
utility pole may be impacted. PARE is continuing design.
Two- Week Look Ahead
Complete geotechnical review and cross section evaluations
Develop and submit Geotechnical Design Basis Report
Commence review of yard drainage impacts
Commence hydraulic evaluation
Continue communications with RIDEM ad RIDOT

WARWICK SEWER AUTHORITY

Quarterly Report to City Council
July 13, 2015
WSA Budget
See attached line item budget report for FY15 as of May 31st (92% of fiscal year
complete). Summary:
o Revenues $20,001,021 (93%)
o Expenses $17,449,993 (81%)
Note that debt service payments are made twice a year (September and April)
Major WSA Board Decisions in Last Quarter
In April, the Board reviewed WSAs annual sewer usage rate study as performed by B & E
Consulting, LLC. No changes to the previously-approved rates were required. The Board also
approved up to $6,800 for B & E to review the sewer assessment rate structure and examine
various methods for assessing sewer construction costs. The Board passed a Resolution in
support of the Citys Comprehensive Plan (see attached). The Board approved numerous
purchases, including emergency repairs to chlorine piping ($11,500), replacement of an HVAC
unit in the Operations Building ($10,400) and a new plant water strainer for effluent recycling
system ($20,899).
In May, the Board held a public hearing and solicited comments on the budget for FY16. The
Board approved the purchase of an asset management, maintenance and materials software
system ($26,325), and a cab and chassis for a new sewer line cleaning vehicle ($112,950). The
Board awarded the contract for a new levee design to PARE Corporation for $78,810. The
Board also approved a one-year extension of Contract CC (miscellaneous sewer extensions and
emergency repairs) with DAmbra Construction.
In June, the Board approved several change orders to Contract 91 (see updated summary under
Treatment Facility Construction, below) as well as repairs to the sodium hypochlorite storage
and delivery system ($39,200).
Treatment Facility Operations and Maintenance
The treatment facility was in full compliance with the WSA discharge permit this past
quarter. Flows have been averaging about 4.8 million gallons per day in 2015 (plant
capacity is 7.7 mgd). WSAs new nitrogen limit (8 milligrams per liter) was in effect in
May.
The Superintendent and his staff continue to be involved in day-to-day management of
Contract 91 (phosphorus and flood improvements) and coordination with the engineers
and contractors on site.
The WSA received the A. Joseph Mattera Safety Award from the Narragansett Water
Pollution Control Association in April. As of this date, the WSA has worked 1,247 days
without a lost-work incident.

Contract 91 (Treatment Facility Construction)

Project Status: The most recent progress report has been included with this report.
Project Issues: The WSA engaged a new engineering firm to prepare a new design for
permitting of an all-earthen levee. The engineer has made significant progress in less than a
month (see attached progress report).
Project Schedule: The phosphorus and other operational improvements are on track for
compliance with new limits in 2016. The levee improvements are behind schedule and will be
fast-tracked to the extent possible.

Contract 93 (Influent Sewer Rehabilitation)

Project Status: The most recent progress report has been included with this report. The project
is currently out to bid. The bid opening is scheduled for July 21st. The WSA Board approved an
amendment to the contract with Brown & Caldwell for construction phase engineering services
in the amount of $117,775.
Sewer Extension Planning & Construction (projects included in $33 million bond
authorization)
Governor Francis Farms Phase 3 (Contract 85 B) Completion of the design work is pending an
agreement on the land acquisition for the pump station.
East Natick Phase 3/ODonnell Hill (Contract 69 A) Engineers (Garofalo & Associates) are
continuing to collect details about the individual properties to be serviced. Project cost estimates
have been refined by Garofalo and have decreased slightly from WSAs budget estimates.
Garofalo will be proceeding to finalize the plans and obtain required permits. Funding has been
requested for this project in 2016. WSA is planning to hold a meeting soon with area residents
to provide project updates and obtain additional information about individual properties.
Northwest Gorton Pond (Contract 88) Currently proposed for construction in 2016. No recent
activity.
Bayside The WSA has approved a revised plan for sewering this area which consists of two
phases. Phase I is construction of the main interceptor sewer on Tidewater Drive and Phase II
will be construction of lateral pressure sewers and connections for about 40 residential streets off
Tidewater Drive. The WSA Board approved a proposal from Gordon R. Archibald, Inc. (GRA)
for engineering services for preliminary design of Phase I in the amount of $278,985. The Board
also approved $66,700 for associated cultural resource monitoring services to be performed by
the Narragansett Indian Tribe. Phase I (Contract 86A) has been further broken down for
construction purposes. A project meeting with residents is scheduled for June 30th.
Contract 86A-1
Tidewater Drive Pumping Station to Friendship Street
Design of this section of Tidewater Drive is complete and cleared from an archeological
perspective. WSA has submitted applications for both the Order of Approval and the
Certificate of Approval to the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management
(RIDEM). RIDEM has issued the Order of Approval (project permit) and the Certificate
of Approval (authorizing funding under the State Revolving Loan Fund) is pending. The
WSA continues to coordinate the installation of sewer pipe in this section of Tidewater
Drive with the Department of Public Works (DPW). The agreement currently in
negotiation is to have D'Ambra Construction (under contract with WSA) install the sewer
main from the pump station to Friendship Street. The WSA would not be responsible for
performing pavement restoration work, but would provide monies to the DPW toward the
roadway restoration. The cost savings realized by not installing the permanent bituminous
trench pavement would be provided to the DPW for the full roadway restoration.

Contract 86A-2
Tidewater Drive Interceptor
GRA has begun preparing the updated sewershed plan to ensure all dwellings within the
area are serviced. GRA sent base plans to utility companies requesting review and
confirmation of their utilities as shown on the base plans. The information will be utilized
to finalize the interceptor location such that subconsultant PAL, Inc. can determine the
archaeological investigation limits. GRA assisted WSA in preparing notices to
homeowners on Tidewater Drive regarding the June 30th meeting and will be providing
assistance with establishing their preferred sanitary service locations at this time so those
locations can also be investigated by PAL. GRA is also preparing to perform subsurface
borings on Tidewater Drive as part of the preliminary sewer design work.
