Finance committee approves tax abatements, defers appointment vote and reports no new collective‑bargaining updates
Summary
On Jan. 13 the Finance Committee approved real estate and motor vehicle tax abatements, continued Mayor Hopkins’ appointment of Daniel Marcinko to a future special meeting, and reported no changes to two pending labor contracts.
The Cranston Finance Committee met Jan. 13 and approved several routine tax‑abatement items before the committee. Members voted to approve the listed real‑estate tax abatements and motor‑vehicle tax abatements as presented, with roll‑call votes recorded in the meeting minutes.
The committee also considered an advice‑and‑consent item: Mayor Hopkins’ appointment of Daniel Marcinko to the Tax Assessment Board of Review. The committee continued that appointment to a special Finance Committee meeting scheduled for Jan. 27 to allow additional review and processing.
Committee staff reported that, after discussions with Director Moretti, there were no new updates to collective‑bargaining agreements with Teamsters Local 251 and Laborers Local 1322; those matters will be moved to a future meeting when appropriate. With no further business, the committee adjourned.
The votes on tax abatements were taken by roll call; the clerk recorded affirmative votes from committee members present.
