Reiner said he had forwarded the application to council members in a prior email. The council did not record any vote on the submission; the transcript indicates the submission was an informational update from the school administration.

The town's announcement page was identified as the place to find links to the Stage 1 submission and related materials.

Councilor Paero (as recorded in the meeting) objected to language that included Middletown and said he would vote against the letter as drafted. \"Although I am going to be voting in the negative on this ... Middletown hasn't taken an official stance on this and whether or not they're going to hasn't been made publicly known,\" he said during the discussion.

Other councilors and a staff member discussed how the draft referenced the company that produced portions of the study. One participant recommended clarifying that the entity formerly known as National Grid is now Rhode Island Energy. A staff member suggested a parenthetical such as \"RI Energy, FKA (formerly known as National Grid)\" to make the docket references consistent.

Councilors also questioned language in the draft that referenced the \"feasibility of additional natural gas pipelines.\" Councilor Plaen asked whether any public feasibility study exists; a staff member replied there is no public feasibility study and that any analysis may be internal to the utility. \"No. There is there isn't a feasibility study as of yet,\" a Town staff member said.

The transcript records edits being suggested (removing Middletown from a specific line and clarifying the energy company name) but does not record a final motion or recorded vote to adopt the letter during this meeting. The discussion therefore remained at the review-and-edit stage with suggested wording clarifications noted for the clerk to capture.

Next steps were not formally recorded in the transcript as a direction or a vote; the council discussed wording and asked the clerk to capture suggested edits for future consideration.

Because no formal adoption was recorded on the transcript, the town’s official position on the docket will depend on whether the council takes a subsequent vote or issues a finalized letter at a later meeting.","Councilors discussed revisions to an updated town position letter to the Energy Facilities Siting Board about the Aquidneck Island long-term gas capacity study, including whether to reference Middletown and how to cite National Grid/Rhode Island Energy; the council did not record a final vote during the meeting.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6462440,"Council approves routine minutes, vouchers and several appointments; one vote 6-1",72,387000,459000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5809580-d729448082c7fabb628f17076b56fdd1&start=387&end=459","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5809580-d729448082c7fabb628f17076b56fdd1/thumbnail_387000.jpg","/articles/6462440/Rhode-Island/Council-approves-routine-minutes-vouchers-and-several-appointments-one-vote-6-1","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6462440-3b2b4c3337bbfe3927fc457ccb619794/orig.mp4?Expires=1770738871&Signature=APmoy0366~WKWWc3jS~HFRWbKpdMjTGpEs2ibrvejKvWNnCDlhMWl0lzWscKUpvkzqm7tONfC-BbcJAih5F99vZ2HWp1PTfdOL1et5wKeY~9fTTn6SKybsuv6BRd5C2HuyLziRPpPqrZfwtN7-ieCezYcexC1XkXcNgSZOTh1eciQaBE05VJhA4pDtk0m~SBgu34Qphu24P8I3ty~N8qOa50D5zzecj7tcOCxK6vlTbEfwXX3KHPrzywTuCnDSEfn7aFxeR0voR9MnraH0KzSB-OhLwHKG7issJ0ExRjbQ1W785TiihFtjnM5BcxnWWQ6Q2~1-H36k9uWy377K9~Tw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Borsford Town Council on Sept. 22 approved routine consent items, accepted a resignation and confirmed three appointments, the council president announced.

The council approved the consent agenda and minutes from the Sept. 8 meeting, and voted to accept several small financial vouchers. The council also accepted the resignation of Mil Kinsella and confirmed three appointments to town boards.

Registrar Reiner summarized the personnel items before the council moved to votes. \"Motion to accept Mil Kinsella's resignation with regret,\" a council member moved; the motion passed by council vote. The council reappointed Daniel Corrigan to the Economic Development Commission. The council then appointed Jean Smith to the Parks and Recreation Committee; that appointment passed 6-1 with Councilor Ferrero recorded in dissent. Finally, Paul Malek was appointed as an alternate to the Zoning Board of Review.

Votes at a glance:
- Consent agenda and minutes: approved (tally recorded at the meeting as seven in favor; minutes and consent vote recorded as passing).
- Acceptance of resignation of Mil Kinsella: motion passed (recorded as 7 to 0).
- Reappointment of Daniel Corrigan to the Economic Development Commission: motion passed (recorded as 7 to 0).
- Appointment of Jean Smith to the Parks and Recreation Committee: motion passed, 6 to 1 (Councilor Ferrero dissenting).
- Appointment of Paul Malek as an alternate to the Zoning Board of Review: motion passed (recorded as 7 to 0).

Council President called each vote and members responded verbally during roll call before each tally. No further debate was recorded on the appointments or the resignation, and council members offered brief remarks of thanks for service when appropriate.

The approved appointments will be reflected in the town’s records and the newly appointed alternate will serve only when a vacancy or absence requires an alternate member to sit on the five-person zoning panel. No additional formal actions or follow-up tasks were recorded on these items during the meeting.","The Borsford Town Council approved routine consent items, accepted a resignation and confirmed three appointments on Sept. 22, 2025; one appointment passed 6-1 with Councilor Ferrero dissenting.","actionData","errors"]
