Summary
At its Feb. 3 meeting West Warwick council approved consent minutes, a St. Patrick’s parade license, reappointed two juvenile hearing board members while tabling a third alternate, awarded a one-year fuel contract, and approved a tax-cancellation item (with a recusal noted).
The West Warwick Town Council on Feb. 3 approved several routine and ordinance-related actions as part of its meeting.
Minutes and parade license The council approved the minutes from the Jan. 20, 2026 meeting by voice vote and granted a parade license to the Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick for March 15, 2026; both items passed on council voice votes.
Juvenile hearing board appointments Council reappointed Virginia DeMasi and Anna Raimondo to the juvenile hearing board (terms to Dec. 2029). The council tabled consideration of a third alternate position while staff and the solicitor review the ordinance language and residency requirements; councilmembers asked staff to return with clarified wording that specifies whether the opening is for an alternate or a full member.
Fuel contract award A resolution to authorize a one-year contract for gasoline and ultra-low sulfur diesel was approved. Town staff reported Peterson Oil has supplied the town for roughly 10–12 years and was the sole bidder; the contract uses a daily-indexed price with a cap for the one-year term.
Tax cancellation Council considered and approved a tax-cancellation item that had appeared on a prior agenda. The presiding official recorded a recusal during the vote (transcript notes the president recused himself). Specific cancellation amounts were not listed in the meeting record.
Executive session and adjournment The council moved to executive session on a motion that passed, and the meeting concluded.
Vote details Most items were decided by voice vote; the transcript does not include full roll-call tallies for each motion. Where recorded, the meeting shows unanimous 'Aye' voice votes for the listed items.
