Council approves minutes, reappoints Zoning Board members and schedules charter-hearing
Summary
On June 23 the South Field Town Council approved executive- and open-session minutes with a small amendment, reappointed Peter Carnivale and appointed Dennis Finley to the Zoning Board, and set a July 21 public hearing on proposed charter amendments.
At its June 23 meeting the South Field Town Council approved the June 2 executive-session minutes (sealed) and the June 2 open-session minutes after a small amendment swapping two collective-bargaining headers. The council reappointed Peter Carnivale to the Zoning Board for a term expiring in May 2027 and appointed Dennis Finley to a Zoning Board term expiring in May 2027; both motions were seconded and approved by voice vote.
The council also voted to schedule a public hearing on July 21, 2026 to consider charter amendments proposed by the Springfield Charter Review Commission. The meeting record cited Rhode Island General Laws 42-46-5-A in describing the executive-session subjects (personnel, collective bargaining and real estate) referenced in the sealed minutes.
No roll-call tallies were read; the record shows voice votes and the chair's announcement that "ayes have it." No dissenting votes were recorded in the meeting transcript.
Next steps: The council will proceed with the scheduled public hearing July 21 and continue regular agenda work; staff will present any required ordinance language if disposition or sale of town property is proposed in the future.
