My Name is Mike Sullivan and I am the Senior Pastor of the Graceway


Community Church in Middletown. At GCC we believe that it's time the Church
got out of it's buildings and into the community.

On August 14th and September 5th, GCC would like to continue our summer
program "Service in the Park," at Miantonomi Park. Each month we would like
to provide live music, hot dogs, drinks and encouragement to the community.

As the summer progresses we plan to expand our involvement to include


community service projects based on needs identified during these events. Our
goal is to encourage individuals and families, identify needs, provide assistance
and in doing so strengthen the community at large. Church should be about
the people not about a place.

We are requesting permission from the board to use the park on the afore
mentioned date. Our Prayer is that you can assist us in reaching our goals and
in doing so make a real difference for the community. We hope that you will
also consider continued involvement with GCC for future dates and "Service in
the Park."

Thank you in advance for your kind consideration.

Grace and Peace,

Mike Sullivan

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
To: Mayor Jeanne-Marie Napolitano & l\!~!Y~frs of the City Council
From: Edward F. Lavallee, City Manager c?~
Date: July 21, 2010
SUbject: National Grid Easement - Harrison Avenue Substation

Revised
Docket Date: July 28, 2010
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an easement to National Grid on City-owned property to enable the utility company to properly service and
improve a substation land-locked among City and private land parcels.

BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:


National Grid owns and operates a sub-station on land owned by the City of Newport, and further National Grid accesses
the sub-station via a City-owned parcel. The sub-station is located to the south and adjacent to the Rogers High School
soccer field. The access point is the western edge of City owned property on Harrison Avenue. National Grid has a long-
term lease agreement for use of the sub-station property and an easement on the access lane connecting the sub-station to
Harrison Avenue. This agreement would widen the easement on Harrison Avenue from 10 feet to 24 feet to allow
proper installation of subterranean service conduit and safe vehicle access to the sub-station, and would grant an
easement on the sub station parcel. National Grid is in the midst of a program to increase the supply of electrical power
to Newport customers. These easements will support the utility's efforts by codifying access that the City has
customarily permitted.

An initial request for an easement adjustment was filed in February 2010. That request was continued pending further
evaluation of the National Grid request. Subsequently, a public workshop was held to enable property owners and
residents proximate to the sub-station to comment on the National Grid requests. From the workshop, the City staff has
inserted provisions in the easements who stipulate the following: (1) no "above ground" installations, additions,
replacements. This specifically mandates that the proposed added lines to increase capacity at the sub-station will be
exclusively below-ground installations. Further, (2), any modifications to shrubbery, trees, or landscaping will require
the review and approval of the City arborist. At the public workshop, National Grid representatives assured residents that
no chemical herbicides will be used on the site. In the interim period, National Grid agents have volunteered their
services and have assisted residents in improving landscaping, removing trees and shrubbery on their abutting private
property. Further, they are working with residents to develop a design for aesthetic barriers surrounding the sub-station.
The residents have sent letters of appreciation for the National Grid effort.

Attached are three easement documents: (1) easement modification for the corridor between Harrison Avenue and the
substation (from 10' t024' wide; (2) Access easement for the same parcel to allow National Grid vehicles and personnel
to use the easement to service the substation; and (3) substation easement to allow exclusive access and control of the
parcel on which the substation is situated. The Solicitor has reviewed the agreements and recommended the addition of
an indemnification clause to the standard National Grid documents (attached). The fmal contract document will contain
the indemnification clause as recommended by the City Solicitor, as well as the prohibition against above-ground
additions and the requirement for the City arborist's review and approval oflandscaping, vegetation, tree, and shrubbery
changes.

Subject: National Grid Easement - Harrison Avenue Substation
Staff Presentation:
Applicant Presentation:

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve an easement to National Grid on City-owned property to enable the utility company to properly service and
improve a substation land-locked among City and private land parcels.

BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:

National Grid owns and operates a sub-station on land owned by the City of Newport, and further National Grid accesses
the sub-station via a CitY~owned parcel. The sub-station is .located to the south and.adj acent to the Rogers High· School
soccer field, The access point is the western edge of City owned property on Harrison Avenue. National Grid has a ltmg-
term lease agreement for use of the sub-station property and an easement on the access lane connecting the sub-station to
Harrison "Avenue.

this agreement would widenth¢ easement on Harrison Avenue from 10 feet to 24 feet to allow proper jnstal1~tion of
sllbteItlUlean service conduit and safe vehicle access to the sub-station, and would grant an easement on the substation
parcel.

National Grid is in the midst of a program to increase the supply of electrical power to Newport cllstomers. These
easements will support the utility's efforts by codifying access that the City has customarily permitted.

RECOMMENDATION:

The Council's consideration of the attached petitions is requested. Staff has reviewed the petitions and recommends
approval of the petition for the Webster Street location as submitted. Staff has met with National Grid on site with
respect to the Vicksburg Place location and has identified an alternate location on the west side of Vicksburg Place
approximately 50 feet south of the intersection and accordingly recommends approval as amended.

BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:

Attached are two petitions from National Grid. Copies of the petitions were forwarded to staff for review and
recommendation. The communications from the Public Services, Utilities and Planning, Zoning, Development &
Inspections Departments are enclosed.

The petition for the relocation of the existing pole on Webster Street 14 feet to the west of its current location is in
response to a request from the property owner to improve access to his off-street parking. Staff has reviewed the
petition and recommends approval.

The petition for a pole and anchor is for service to a new house on Vicksburg Place. Staff reviewed the application and
expressed some concern with the location. Staff and National Grid met on site and discussed various alternatives. As a
result of those meetings, a new location on the west side of Vicksburg Place approximately 50 south of the intersection
with Van Zandt has been identified as a more suitable location.

RE: National Grid Application - Vicksburg Place and Webster Street

Vicksburg Place: The Department of Public Services has reviewed the sUbject application and
together with PZDI and NGRID has come up with a pole location suitable to all parties that
addresses the concerns of all parties. The resolution moves the pole from the corner of Van
Zandt/Vicksburg to a location on the west side of Vicksburg approximately 50 feet south of Van
Zandt. We have no issues and recommend placement of the pole at this location.

Webster Street: The DPS has reviewed the proposed location and recommends approval as this
relocation was a request of the property owner to better access his off street parking. The pole is
requested to be moved 14 feet west of its existing location.

RE: National Grid Applications


Vicksburg Place
Webster Street

PZD&I Department staff reviewed the National Grid petitions and offer the following
comments:

Vicksburg Place (Lot 130) - National Grid proposes to install new pole "P2l-l" at the
southwestern comer of Van Zandt and Vicksburg Place. Locating this new pole will
create new overhead service lines across both Van Zandt and Vicksburg Place. Staff
conducted numerous site visits in an attempt to find a more suitable alternative, but it was
determined that this proposed pole and two overhead lines is the best option. Note the
City of Newport Zoning Code does not require underground service for existing lots of
record involving single family homes on private property. Only two-family and multi-
family structures must place new utilities underground, but only from the property line to
the structure.

Webster Street - This proposed location is a simple relocation of an existing pole. Staff
has no objections.

The installation of a new pole and anchor on Vicksburg Place located 50 south of Van Zandt, on
the west side of the street as revised by National Grid and the Department of Public Services on
July 9, 2010 will not interfere with any existing sanitary sewers, storm drains or water mains and

City of Newport
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
To: Mayor Jeanne-Marie Napolitano& Members of the City Council
From: Edward F. Lavallee, City Manager~
Date: July 21,2010
Subject: Washington Square Phase 3 - Funding
Staff Presentation: William R. Riccio, Jr., PE, Director of Public Services

RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the City Manager to submit correspondence requesting that the Rhode Island Department of Transportation combine
available enhancement funds for Newport projects in order to advance construction of Phase 3 Washington Square.

BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:

The Department of Public Services is currently working with the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) in order to
obtain funding authorization and associated approval to advertise the final phase ofthe construction project for construction bids. Due
to the limitation on existing funds for this project, there are currently inadequate funds available to allow the City to proceed with
construction. In short, the construction estimate exceeds the available funds by $522,523.03. Since the original project agreement
between the City of Newport and the State of Rhode Island stipulates that all necessary funds above those allocated for this project
through the state and federal enhancement program become the responsibility of the City of Newport, all costs in excess of the
allocated funds plus any construction modifications that result in change orders would become the responsibility of the City of
Newport. This would result in a substantial burden on the taxpayer via the Department of Public Services' operating budget line item
for road and trench repairs.

Approximately I 8 months ago, RIDOT was downsizing the overall program and was proposing to eliminate the Thames Street
Demonstration project; however, the City strongly petitioned RInOT to keep these funds in the program. The City was ultimately
successful in keeping this line item intact for the short term. At this point in time it appears to be prudent and necessary to petition for
reallocation of these funds to complete the improvements to Washington Square in order to keep the impact on the taxpayer to an
absolute minimum. The Thames Street Demonstration Project has been inactive for quite some time and the upcoming sewer project
will also extend the time frame associated with any future improvements to this area. It would therefore be beneficial to the City to
use these funds at the present time rather than incur the risk of losing these unspent federal dollars. In summation, it is recommended
that the City petition the RIDOT to allow the use of the funds that were originally targeted for the Thames Street Demonstration
Project (America's Cup to Ann Street) to be re-allocated to the completion of Washington Square in an amount of $450,000. This
would result in a difference of $72,523.03 which is a much more viable participation rate for the City should the need arise which
ultimately will be dependent upon the actual bid prices received for the construction solicitation.

What is Bandwidth?
Bandwidth is referred to in three different ways.

In electronics communication-

A given bandwidth is the difference in hertz between the highest 11'equency the
and the lowest fj"equency the signal uses.

In computer nctwOl'I<s -

Bandwidth is often referred <IS,

• The amount of data tmnsferred.


or
• The size of tile data line used to transfer the information.

NEWI'OIl'I

What is Bandwidth?
When referring to the amount of data transferl'ed.

Example,

On Thursday 12 people accessed the archived video of the Feb 17th


COlillcilmceting. The video me is 883Mb in size.

(/2 limes 883Mb)

The total "bandwidth" transferred is IO,596Mb or 10.6Gb

What is Bandwidth?
When referring to the size of the dltta line.

Example,

Currently Newport has two TI lines cOIlnc.::cted to the Internet at City Hall.
Each TI has a "handwidth" of 1.5Mh/sec for a lola I or3Mb.

Think of it as a pipe. The bigger the pipe the more data can be transferred.

Why is Bandwidth Important?

• Transferring any file requires bandwidth.

• Streamed files are very large.

• Streaming many files at once is huge.

• Bandwidth costs money.

What Streaming Demands

333Mb /scc

This is the maximum raw information at the camera.

To make the image more manageable the camera compresses the


stream as it is sent directly to a DVD recorder and/or an encoder.

An encoder uses specific types of codec (sojiwGl'ealgol'ilhms). The


codcc fUllctions as a file converter that further slreamlines and
compresses the signal. There are many codec, Flash being one.

Streaming
Comparison considerations,

• As apples to apples as possible


• Streaming both Archived and live solution
• All meetings including School Committee
• Who's doing the preparation work for archived files
• Bandwidth

Four different solution types were reviewed,

• In-House - A solution developed fully in-house, where preparation and presentation of archived
and live streaming Is done by the MIS department at City Hall to the public
I • Granicus and Clerkbase -Two solutions fully outsourced to companies that will do everything,
with differences

I • Acrostream - A solution where both archived and live video is sent to a hosting company, with
the preparation done by the MIS department
• Hosting.com and Vlmeo - A solution where archived video resides on a host and prepared by
I MIS. The live streaming video is done by the MIS department at City Hall to the public

I In-House

An in-house solution would be a complete package. MIS will setup an encoder to receive the signal from
the camera. This signal will be sent out via our internet line as a live stream. The Internet line will need
to be substantial to accommodate the number of streams that are likely to be asked for by the public.
N. Kingstown reported having 2000 requests for one live meeting.

The encoder will also store the video which will be prepared later by MIS to create the archive. The
docket, agenda, minutes, and any attachments can be added.

This solution offers great fleXibility as far as appearance and content. However, it requires a great deal
of MIS resource. About one third to half of the web designers work week would be devoted to this.
More important, the City would have to add large amounts of bandwidth going to the Internet. It is
difficult to say how much without knowing how many viewers there will be. I would guess Newport

l would generate more interest than N. Kingstown.

I
Granicus

Granicus offers a complete package. The most important features of this solution are,

• Unlimited number of meetings


• Unlimited storage space
• Unlimited bandwidth for both live and archived streams

The City would not have to add bandwidth. The preparation of the documentation would be done by
Granicus. This prep would not be as detailed as that of Clerkbase.

Clerkbase1

Clerkbase offers a complete package. The City currently uses Clerkbase for its web based document
retrieval. The retrieval system and streaming systems are linked. In other words, you have to buy both.
This makes Clerkbase a bit more interactive with the documentation that goes with each archived
meeting.

The most important features of this solution are,

• Limited number of meetings (more can be addedtor atee)


• Unlimited storage space
• Unlimited bandwidth for both live and archived streams

A big difference with Clerkbase is they will charge additional fees for each meeting added to the list,
whereas the other solutions are unlimited. You will see this adds significant cost.

Acrostream

Acrostream is a hosting company. They prOVide server space to store archived video for on-demand
viewing and a mechanism for streaming live.

The only advantage of this type of solution is that we offload the bandwidth issues to the hosting site.
The downside, unlike a Granicus or Clerkbase solution, is we do all the work related to preparing the
archived files.
I

I 1 Thesolution was priced two ways. One for 22 council meetings and another for 22 council meetings plus 18 other
Board/Commission meetings (to be apples to apples). This does not Include any workshops, budget meetings, etc.

I
Hosting.Com

Hosting.com is a hosting company. They provide a server space to store archived video only. They have
no mechanism for streaming live. Live streaming would have to be done by MIS or offloaded to a
company like Acrostream.

The only advantage of this type of solution is we offload the bandwidth issues only for archived video. If
we were to add the required bandwidth to the Cities Internet connection for live streaming we would
not need to outsource hosting the archived files.

The catch, if we used Hosting.com for archives and Acrostream for live streams we may as well go solely
with Acrostream, because their overall cost is lower than a combination of a Hosting.com/ln-house
solution.

The other downside, again unlike a Granicus or Clerkbase solution, is we do all the work related to
preparing the archived files.

Vimeo

Vimeo is similar to posting video to YouTube. They have no mechanism for streaming live. This solution
has the same issues as using Hosting.com. There is little to no functionality with the system used to post
archive video to their host site. There is also no support for dealing with issues.

The only advantage to this solution is that it is very cheap, $60 per year, if all we want to do is post an
archive file. There are limitations of anyone file must be less than 1Gb and no more than SGb per week
can be uploaded.

Gotchas

The Council Resolution requests the School Committee meetings be included. The pricing that is
provided includes archiving and live streaming of these meetings. However...

The Thompson School and City Hall are connected via a fiber optic line for access to the Lawson financial
system. A connection to the encoder at City Hall can be made from Thompson that would facilitate both
archiving and live streaming from that location. Should School Committee meetings be held at a
location other than Thompson additional items would be necessary increasing the project costs.

In addition, these solutions do not consider two meetings occurring at the same time.
Conclusions

Certainly cost is a driving factor; however, it is important to provide the best solution for the smallest
number of dollars for the purpose of providing the residence of Newport access to meetings. Anyone of
these solutions will work. Clearly some offer more functionality and better pricing then others. Those
solutions that don't offload bandwidth issues are very expensive.

I believe a fully in-house solution would be cost prohibited. It is the second or highest costing solution
and would put a burden on the MIS staff.

Acrostream would be a good solution if we wanted to maintain 100% control over content and
appearance and offload bandwidth issues. It is in the middle for cost.

Hosting.com is similar to Acrostream regarding content and appearance, but it does not offer live
streaming or linkage to documentation.

While Vimeo is very low cost, it does not offer any amount of function beyond showing an archived
video of small format and low quality. It does not offer streaming live or linkage to documentation
therefore MIS would have to provide this function. After reviewing sites that use Vimeo a question has
to be asked; Does Newport want its face to the public shown from a web site similar to YouTube. Vimeo
is just another YouTube.

With Acrostream, Hosting.com, and Vimeo MIS would have to provide preparation of the archived
I Video. As pointed out in the spreadsheets this would require 33% to 50% of the web designers work
week.
[ Vimeo and Hosting.com do not offer streaming live video. In-house resources would have to be used to
accomplish this. I feel adding enough bandwidth would be cost prohibitive.

Clerkbase's solution while offering a higher degree of linkage with documentation carries a heavy cost.
My concern with this solution is the "nickel and dime" approach to pricing. If all meetings were videoed
archived and streamed this would be the most expensive solution.

Two prices points are shown for Clerkbase. The lower is the minimum which does not include other
meetings, just Council and School (at Thompson). The higher includes all meetings. The other solutions
include all meetings. Apples to apples

One solution stands out for both price and functionality, Granicus. This solution offers some linkage to
documents, off/oads the bandwidth issue, allows unlimited meetings and storage, and at a reasonable
price.
