Key actions recorded in the meeting minutes include minutes, tax roll adjustments, contract renewals, certification sign-offs and appointments.

Consent and administrative approvals
- The council approved the minutes of the Sept. 4, 2025 regular meeting, additions to the 2025 tax roll totaling $5,730.59 and abatements totaling $4,650.75, and accepted the Finance Director's report for August 2025.

Liquor license transfer applications withdrawn
- Two pending public hearings on Class A liquor-license transfers were removed from the table and the applications recorded as withdrawn after notices from applicants. The council recorded withdrawal of the application from Kevin J. Kitson (Christie's Liquors Inc.) for a transfer to a Patel applicant and the withdrawal of the application from Lisa M. Kitson (Kitson Liquors Inc.) for a transfer that had been continued since August. The transcript did not show additional details about the prospective transferees' names or reasons beyond \"the sale...fell through.\" (Information in applicants' written withdrawal notices was recorded in the clerk's file.)

Appointments and charter review
- The council reappointed Stephanie Salisbury to the Foster-Glocester Juvenile Hearing Board for a term to expire Sept. 2026.

Contracts, certifications and programs
- The council authorized the town council president to sign the CodeRED emergency-notification contract renewal (Oct. 3, 2025 to Oct. 2, 2026). The Police Chief Joseph Delprete had requested the renewal; the annual contract invoice is $2,750 and was previously budgeted.
- The council authorized the town council president to sign the attorney-general records-administrator certification for the town clerk based on completed training.
- The council authorized the hunting of deer and wild turkey on the William Mills Conservation Area from Oct. 1, 2025 through May 24, 2026 under Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM) hunting regulations, with town-issued landowner courtesy cards limited to 30 Glocester residents for muzzleloading/archery as described in the motion.

Executive session notice

Jessica Parker in her capacity as tax assessor (PC–2025–01882), (B) Gloucester Teachers Association v. Gloucester School Department (UPL–6428), and (C) potential litigation; the council added a collective-bargaining update under item D for discussion only.

Other items
- The council discussed a request from a correspondent to consider increasing the number of annual food-truck licenses; councilors said the subject would be placed on a future agenda for further discussion.

Beltram.

A town memo from Beltram noted the town's existing electricity contract expires at the end of the calendar year and recommended extending the contract at current-day pricing because market prices were already starting to climb ahead of the long-range winter forecast.

The motion authorized signing the four-year renewal, with the final price to be determined by the finance director at the time of signing.

Councilors voted to approve the authorization during the meeting; the motion passed.","Following a memo from the finance director, the council authorized the town council president to sign a four-year Constellation Power Options contract at current-day pricing, with the finance director to determine the final price at signing.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6463824,"Glocester council approves transfer of Sunset Cove Mobile Home Park license",350,1888000,2238000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5784924-9c0d33dc3d29ec89143ff556795d9722&start=1888&end=2238","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5784924-9c0d33dc3d29ec89143ff556795d9722/thumbnail_1888000.jpg","/articles/6463824/Glocester/Providence-County/Rhode-Island/Glocester-council-approves-transfer-of-Sunset-Cove-Mobile-Home-Park-license","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6463824-217b6e1744824b5088387cf41e44f4b5/orig.mp4?Expires=1773725336&Signature=OSm7JXJXeHr9jcpowcg3XV1~MwzPPGltQaMFsQZnRc-kofmRegCFJfxrAsmySZ~6LUbtFOquOmTTOBIF-yuRB9LgTFaYcjrV66HMfZB~6TXlItHR98Pymodye7s6mmmbNxHf-BX8vSbsQ~YAN5FMRBWiy3Vbq~fcfCkvDKbmi~Kwy4uMMA-pkLAl6p15EUWbfzMWym6J0Hzk0vtSENx3zDPXyCaGPiL60R375jtT-UshxPYHhAujr6YZn9AeVo8dPdto9CSxalV2SqN16-SuhGwrRox~14JPwNp43E3fLZzX4PJAr9CohBsz5P33QqGh7WRfBffrOzfFjfYm1d0GWA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Glocester Town Council on Sept. 18 voted to authorize the transfer of the mobile home park license for Sunset Cove Mobile Home Park at 2267 Putnam Pike from current owner Janice Lowell to purchasers Shanna Boyer and Peter DuFrenees.

Janice Lowell, who said her family owned the park for decades, addressed the council and expressed support for the sale and confidence in the transferees' plans to revitalize the property.

Shanna Boyer and Peter DuFrenees told the council they plan to rebuild and replace the existing mobile homes with new units and improve the park's aesthetics. Boyer said infrastructure upgrades will be needed, including septic and water-system work; she reported they have been in contact with the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management on engineering plans. Boyer said the park currently contains 10 mobile-home sites and eight site-built cabins and that only a few units are occupied now; she said about four residents currently remain and that one would vacate before closing.

The council moved to grant the transfer; the motion states the license will be reissued and renamed upon receipt of required documents.

Councilors asked about occupancy and plans for existing residents; Boyer said the new owners intend to work with current residents and not to displace them immediately and to allow time for renovations.

The motion to approve the license transfer passed.","The council approved transfer of the Sunset Cove Mobile Home Park license from Janice Lowell to Shanna Boyer and Peter DuFrenees, with applicants describing plans to rebuild and upgrade septic, water and housing stock.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6463828,"Glocester council approves Halloween 'Fall Festival' and spooky train at 474 Putnam Pike",465,1371000,1836000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5784924-9c0d33dc3d29ec89143ff556795d9722&start=1371&end=1836","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5784924-9c0d33dc3d29ec89143ff556795d9722/thumbnail_1371000.jpg","/articles/6463828/Glocester/Providence-County/Rhode-Island/Glocester-council-approves-Halloween-Fall-Festival-and-spooky-train-at-474-Putnam-Pike","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6463828-f1e286120d34f611ca858d044acdb879/orig.mp4?Expires=1773725336&Signature=gJ9jtPQh-xfdaUaOww-0TN6uQtOtowgnPfyKXSe8pQKG-oSkvqDdbEghixYk2aRk-YkD5CptGVqOitH9S-4DeKtQ1R4mhJI8rEJarZcHXqQI8kNcQseEC~eOUDLJc2oiMBDcs7Rljl1AQmvYziypH0QgFXj6Z1aQUVNP1nHg73nLuOoHWrjl4iahk2qD8T3GaR6bbCaE4pV6xk84lEp4Ke4UTdTc2Efs3uGI44rl~2G0yOt4FpKB1ew4Wj68gebZbWKmgBlt4v2CGxnFLy3x3bzYXbc7ymLh2ZQeNhxwYp39YeTEn4Z1kz~ipCMZZhIxBBICPbLuigdKl~zzr1pRog__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Glocester Town Council on Sept. 18 approved a special-event license for Harmony Products LLC to hold a Halloween \"Fall Festival\" and a \"spooky train\" at 474 Putnam Pike in October.

The council's motion, made during a public hearing, approved the event with conditions that require police and fire approval before a license is issued; a prohibition on on-street parking with posted signage; a ban on alcohol on-site; required town and state permits for vendors selling nonprepackaged food; proof of insurance; and specified hours of operation of 5 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 6 to 9 p.m. Sunday.

The application lists Russell Gross and David Chiquette as co-applicants. Chiquette described the event as a family-oriented festival with hot beverages, carnival-style games and a train ride through the woods. \"So essentially what is a Halloween festival where families can...have, like, a hot chocolate and hot apple cider and go for a train ride through the woods,\" Chiquette said during the hearing.

Chiquette told the council organizers expect to be able to park about 100 cars on-site using an adjacent field and said the train ride can carry about 100 people per hour. He said the organizers plan security and staff with EMT training on-site and that police detail is part of the plan for a nighttime event.

Council members asked about amplification and volume levels. An exchange during the hearing clarified that music would be kept at a low volume and oriented toward the back of the property; organizers said the train itself would use \"dark and ominous\" sound effects rather than loud amplified music.

The council's motion also required that any mobile food establishment obtain the town event permit under Glocester Code of Ordinances chapter 191-11 and present a valid state license, and that the town clerk be presented proof of insurance before issuance of the license.

The council approved the motion. The council's approval followed the public hearing and included the conditions described above.","The Glocester Town Council granted a special-event license for an October Halloween festival and a \"spooky train\" at 474 Putnam Pike, approving conditions including police/fire sign-off, no on-street parking, vendor permits and insurance and setting event hours.","actionData","errors"]
