Also in attendance: Fire Chief Petrin, Jim Farrell and Joseph Maiato representing the Beach Commission.  The Budget Committee conducted business occasionally seeking input from the Council on several subjects. Councilor Mushen offered insight on the reasoning behind ai move to: reducethe Council President's salary and increase slightly the Councilor's salaries. He noted that as the Administrator continues to take duties over, which have been historically handled by the Council President, it made sense to reduce the salary for the role of President to reflect less work. The Commission voted to support this proposal. (Vote can be found in the Budget Commitee'sminutes) The Council President noted the submittal for thel PensionArticlei includes the value for the pension contribution and the value for pension payments for contract employees noti in the Little_Compton Pension Plan. The Beach Commission represented by member Joséph Maiato and General Manager. Jim Farrell offered a review oft the Beach's Article submissions.

Mushen  President, Little Compton Town Council    0B-4  RHODE ISLAND LEAGUE OF CITIES AND' TOWNS PowerfulAllance  Dislinclive Communities  Legislative Priorities & Positions - April 2021  Legalization of Adult Recreational Use of Marijuana  Asi the General Assembly considers the legalization of adultrecreational. use of marijuana, League members have had extensive discussions on this topic. What our mayors, town managers and councilmembers have heard from their counterparts in other states isi that, if Rhode Island legalizes marijuana, our cities and towns will bear most of the direct burden. With various proposals having their own merits, our members are advocating fori the following: Cities and towns should be able to opt-out through their respective councils rather than through a ballot referendum. The Governor's proposal requires a special election by November 2021 if a community wants to opt- out. League members oppose the mandate for special elections, which involve additional local costs and often have low turnout. In this case, special elections on marijuana sales would lead to an influx of special interest money, and a relatively small number of voters could have a disproportionate impact on a community's decisions. Tosupport local oversight, cities and towns should directly receive at least a 3% local sales tax - as in the Senate proposal. Cities and towns need funding to handle impacts on traffic and congestion, manage public safety response to emergency calls, and address complaints about nuisance properties. If municipal funds are: subject to ai formula in state law - as proposed in the Governor's budget = they could be reduced or eliminated over time. Because communities that opt-out will also need to address public safety concerns, we support municipal safety grants and expanding temporary impact fees beyond three months as proposed ini the Governor's budget. We support the Governor's budget proposal to maintain a centralized licensing system through the Office of Cannabis Regulation and the Department of Business Regulation. The Senate proposal (S 0568) would allocate three. retail licenses per community under 30,000 residents, with an additional license permitted for each 10,000 residents above 30,000. This approach could authorize over: 250 retail establishments statewide, overwhelming  all cities and towns.  Waive the Local Maintenance of Effort (MOE) Requirement for Schools  With schools receiving unprecedented Federal aid for operations, school budgets should first rely on these funds before asking more of local taxpayers. Considering the hundreds of millions of dollars in school aid coming to our state, it is appropriate that cities and towns reduce their local contributions in FY: 2022 and FY 2023 to address local budget needs. Many school districts are reportedly experiencing surpluses from remote instruction and other COVID impacts, but cities and towns cannot reduce their mandated education maintenance of effort amount. In fact, many school committees are asking cities and towns for more local education funding despite those surpluses and incoming Federal funds. Not addressing this issue will create structural deficits and financial issues for years to During the Great Recession, the General Assembly allowed cities and towns to reduce their local maintenance of effort in 2010 and 2011. With significant Federal funding coming to school districts from the American Rescue In FY 2020, the state used approximately $40 million in Federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Response Funds (ESSERF) to reduce state education funding formula aid and close the state deficit. Similarly, cities and towns should be able to use Federal funds to reduce their local contributions, particularly in areas where MOE relief is a top priority of our members as they are preparing their budgets. This assistance would support  come.  Plan, similar MOE relief is warranted.

As ai resident and business owner in Adamsville, I'm asking the Little Compton Town Council to make ai request to RIDOT for sidewalks on Main St. As you'll recall, we contacted youi in 2018 requesting a crosswalk for the village. You were able to coordinate its construction with RIDOT. RIDOT completed ai traffic study and then began work that has been ongoing, first with signage and painting stripes on the road, and more recently with ramps on1 the north and south ends ofthe crosswalk. You'll note in the photos attached that unfortunately, the paint in the road] has since faded and these ramps only lead to rubble and grass. I understand from talking with the men working on the project that its construction is connected to a larger Main St.r road project to improve stormwater drainage in the village. If we are going to have more road construction in the village it seems like this would be the perfect time to consider other improvements to increase pedestrian safety and accessibility. I am also aware that our Comprehensive Plan identifies transportation goals that align with my suggestions. See attached 2018 Little Compton Comprehensive Plan: Transportation - Goals Policies & Actions. This may be an even: more opportune time to request improvements given the Biden Administration's stated goals and funding plans for infrastructure improvements. Creating a safe, walkable village will not only improve the quality ofl life for its residents, but will increase commerce and tourist activity int the area. Iknow there is tremendous local support for the idea, not just for those of us who live and work  here, but for tourists and people who come to visit.  Thank you in advance.

I walk through the village every morning at 6:30 to 7am from Old Harbor Rd. Every morning I stand at the crosswalk, on1 the north side, to wait to see ifanyone will observe the crosswalk signs. Cars from the Westport end and cars from Little Compton and cars: from the harbor area all pass through there and despite two warning signs going each way almost no one ever even applies a brake to slow down even though I am standing there wearing al bright reflective vest. Ihave chatted with the LC police patrol car when it is in town and Ihave talked with DOT workers doing. jobs in the area. Ialso put in a call tol DOT, all requesting that the paint on the crosswalk be replaced. It was actually never painted when the fancy handicapped ramp and warning signs were put in; I offered to paint it myselfbut apparently that would get mei into trouble. Iwould estimate that possibly one in fifteen cars that pass through the area actually stop to let me cross. Some actually speed up and one car blew his horn at me when Ilooked surprised that he was speeding through. Considering the increasing traffic (some of which is large construction vehicles), baseball season's start, and: more customers at' The Barn this time ofs year, this is a serious safety issue. Icertainly agree that sidewalks would be excellent and very helpful, but let's start by making the crosswalk safer and more visible and doing some enforcement oft the crosswalk stop.

The purpose of this rule is to establish cost- based and predictable municipal disposal fees to fund the Corporation's requirements to provide safe, environmentally compliant and cost effective disposal services to all RI municipalities, while at the same time ensuring that the solid waste management system remains financially self-suficient, reserving all cash surpluses for the  following reasons only:  1. 2. 3.  Defer any future municipal price increases;  Fund required major capital investments i.e. a new MRF or other RIRRC Increase landfill life using surplus to offset revenue losses from lower  Board authorized reserves commercial volumes.  4.2 Overview  The municipal solid waste disposal fee pricing structure is based on projected operating cash expenses, projections for debt service and normalized capital requirements. Each biennial review will produce firm two-year municipal solid waste disposal fees, plus a planning estimate for the remaining three years of the  five year look-ahead period.  4.3 Authority  Pursuant to the provisions of R.I.

Attachment 2  4.5 Procedure  A.  Beginning September 1, 2016 and every other year thereafter, the following procedure shall be used to determine the Municipal Disposal Fee to be charged in the-t two subsequent fiscal years beginning July-1noting that a Municipal Disposal Fee increase is warranted only when the Corporation's projected cash balance falls below the minimum cash balance requirement: 1. The Corporation shall prepare a five-year financial projection of its cash flows and balances no later than October 1. This five-year projection shall use as the baseline municipal disposal fee the prevailing municipal disposal fee in effect at the time of the analysis; the baseline fee shall carry through all five years of the projection. The projection shall include  full funding of landfill closurepost-closure liabilities.  2. Ifac cash deficit shows in either of the first two years of the projection period then the formula described in S 4.5(A)(3) of this Part below willl be used to determine the new Municipal Disposal Fee to be effective for those two fiscal years. The disposal fee as derived shall become the new baseline fee, against which further determinations of the need for future increases shall be measured. If a cash surplus is projected in each of the first two years of the projection then the municipal disposal fee will not be adjusted, and the baseline fee in effect at the time of the projection analysis shall be the municipal disposal fee effective for the subsequent The projected Municipal Price per ton shall be calculated for each year of the five-year projections using the following formula or as amended by  two fiscal years.  3.  future rulemaking:  a.  (Operating Cash Expenses + Debt Service + Normalized Capital and Capping + Extraordinary Cash Expenses) - Recycling Cash  Revenue = Total Landfill Cash Expenses Required from Municipal Tip Fees  b. Total Landfill Cash Expenses - Commercial Revenue = Cash  C.  Cash Required from Municipal Tip Fees /Target Municipal Tonnage = Projected Municipal Price per Ton  4.  The Municipal Disposal Fee shall be equal to the arithmetic average of the projected Municipal Price per Ton of the first two years of the five-year projection period, rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount. Projection years three through five shall use the set fee for planning and directional    Attachment 2  purposes only. The adjustments to the Municipal Disposal Fee will be approved and authorized by the Corporation's Board of Commissioners pursuant to R.I. Gen.

Gen. Laws S 23-19-13(g)(3) the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation ('the Corporation") has developed the below procedure to calculate "the maximum amount of municipal solid waste that each municipality will be entitled to deliver to the corporation at the municipal tipping fee", known as  the municipal solid waste cap (hereafter "Cap").  3.2 Overview  A. The Cap calculation procedure is based on the following criteria:  1.  the total of the statewide Cap and diversion adjustments shall not exceed  historical waste generation; performance; and populations.  2. Caps shall be based on waste diversion targets, not on actual 3. the distribution should account for both year round and seasonal  3.3 Procedure  A. Ono or before April 1st prior to the Corporation's fiscal year beginning July 1st the Corporation will update the municipal solid waste disposal caps using the steps below, and notify each municipality of its Cap allocation for the upcoming fiscal  year. 1.  Calculate total statewide municipal sector waste generation by totaling all solid waste, and recyclables (i.e., refuse, MRF recyclables, yard debris, scrap metal/white goods, tires, etc.) as reported annually by municipalities  to RIRRC.    Attachment: 3  2.  Calculate the total statewide Cap by reducing the statewide municipal sector waste generation by the waste diversion assumption of 35%, i.e. Obtain the most recent year population estimate for each municipality from the more current of the decennial U.S. Census or the Rhode Island Department of Administration Statewide Planning Program's official Calculate the year-round equivalent seasonally adjusted population: Obtain the most recent seasonal housing estimates from the For each municipality assume three occupants per seasonal household, unless a modification to this assumption is approved by the Corporation's Executive Director. A municipality seeking to increase the occupants per seasonal household assumption shall submit a formal request prior to March 1st to the Corporation's Executive Director for consideration. Such a request should be supported by documented evidence, such as renter/realtor surveys that show a greater number of occupants per seasonal household assumption applies to the municipality. Approval of any request for an increase to the seasonal housing shall be at the discretion of the Corporation's Executive Director and shall be granted for the duration ofi the fully executed Municipal Solid Waste Agreement signed by both the Corporation and the municipality; For each municipality calculate the seasonally adjusted population (Population Estimate) + (Seasonal households X occupants per seasonal household X 3.5 months /12 months per year)  (statewide Cap X (1-0.35))  3.  Population Projection.  4.  a. b.  decennial census;  C.  using the following formula:  5.  Calculate each municipality's Cap by multiplying its percentage of the total statewide seasonally adjusted population by the total statewide Cap.

Thei federally-required STIP is al list oftransportation projects thati the State of Rhode Island intends to implement using United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) funds. Alli transportation projects that utilize federal transportation funds must bei included in the STIP. The new STIP will cover Federal Fiscal Years (FFY)2 2022-2031, with thet first four years (FFY2022-2025) providing detailed funding information to demonstrate ederally-required fiscal constraint. Abridged information willl be provided for the out-years In December 2020, the State adopted the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), Moving Forward Rhode Island 2040, which establishes a 20-year horizon fori investing in the State's transportation systems. The LRTP examines the State's most critical transportation needs and challenges, as well as providing ai framework for achieving statewide goals and objectives. These goals for bridges, highways, transit, and active transportation renew the state's commitment to funding projects that maintain a state of good repair, improve safety, enhance connectivity, build community character, and improve economic development opportunities. All projects in the STIP must be consistent with, and help implement, the goals oft the LRTP. The STIP, with its 10-year timeframe, represents the translation of recommendations While the state is on the path to recover from the COVID-19 economic downturn with bright hopes for the future, it also must deal with the reality of funding costly infrastructure projects when programming the STIP. Inaddition, the most recent federal surface transportation funding bill, Fixing America's! Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, was passed in 2015, and currently has no official successor. This has forced the state to operate on a year-to year basis with a one- year extension oft the FAST Act at: 2020 levels. State funding sources are also. limited; current levels do not provide an adequate long-term solution for all infrastructure needs identified. Therefore, programming for new and ongoing projects proposed in the new FFY: 2022-2031 STIP is based on anticipated level funding, as well as federal requirements tor meet the most urgent asset management and: state of good repair goals, first and foremost. Bus transit operations have also been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and will be programmed with continued service anticipated to exceed revenue miles operated in past years.  (FFY: 2026-2031).  from the LRTP into a shorter-term program of improvements.  1    Due to these funding limitations, this update oft the STIP will not include a solicitation for new  projects. Within our current, approved STIP program (FFY 2018-2027), all available funding is fully committed to state of good repair projects and other projects resulting from our two most recent solicitations (2016 and 2017). Projects that are int the out-years oft the current STIP (FFY2022-2027) are expected to be programmed for construction int the new  STIP (FFY2022-2031).  Ina anticipation of future STIP project solicitations, as well as improved use oft technology fori the STIP process, we are diligently working to develop a new set of STIP software tools. The Electronic-State Transportation Improvement Program (E-STIP) software application is part of a major effort to improve STIP management, efficiency, project submission, public transparency, and project status reporting. The new E-STIP software will support an online map-based project intake, data-driven project scoring, and will help us to flag potential project feasibility! issues, such as permitting or readiness, much earlier in the process.  With new tools on the horizon, the process of preparing and adopting the FFY 2022-2031 STIP is facilitated by a public involvement process that enhances the ability of stakeholders to comment on the proposed program of projects and review the drafts STIP before the State Planning Council (SPC) adopts the final document. The FFY2 2022-2031 STIP adoption process is outlined below and provides the opportunity for the public, municipalities, and transportation  stakeholders to comment on the FFY2022-20315 STIP:  June 22 - Public Release & Notification, / Start of 30-Day Public Comment  August 26-TACI Meeting: TACrec September 9-S SPC Meeting: SPC:  Period for Draft STIP July 22- - Pubic Hearing July 23- - Public Comment Period Ends  Additional notifications will be provided by the Division of Statewide Planning regarding the opportunities for involvement outlined above.
