Mayor Donald R. Grebien
Pawtucket is a city of 71,148 residents founded in 1671, at the strategic falls of the Blackstone River and the upper tidewaters of Narragansett Bay. It is a city with a special place in the industrial history of the United States. For it was here at the Slater Mill Historic Site that Samuel Slater successfully constructed and operated machines for spinning cotton yarn in 1793. Besides textiles, a variety of machines and iron working shops grew up alongside the textile industry.

Mayor Donald R. Grebien announced that extended hours of service at City Hall, first initiated for the last quarter of 2013 as a trial run, will continue for the first four months of 2014. The extended hours will again be available until 7 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month.
The increased availability for the public will again apply to the Board of Canvassers, where residents can register to vote or use other services, City Clerk, Tax Assessor, Tax Collections, Mayor's Office and Zoning Department.
The Thursday dates when the added service will be available are: March 20 and April 17. An online survey, with details to be announced, will be conducted in February to allow the public to express how availability of the added hours can best serve them.
"The reason we put the extended hours program in place is because we realize not everyone can make it to City Hall during normal business hours," Mayor Donald R. Grebien said. "Now we want to continue refining what we offer so we can best serve the public."
Grebien said the added hours also helps fulfill his pledge to provide greater access to municipal government services for residents and businesses.
For additional information, contact the Mayor's Office at 728-0500, ext. 281 or any of the City Hall offices that will be open for extended hours. Normal City Hall hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday.Click here for the complete story

When it snows in Pawtucket, the City depends on its citizens to be helpful, responsible, and aware of the need to remove all snow and ice from sidewalks including walks and ramps leading to a crosswalk.
During the winter months, many Pawtucket residents, including children walking to school and the physically challenged, need to be able to safely use the public sidewalks. This means that all snow and ice should be removed from the sidewalk, which shall be defined as that portion of a street between the curblines, or the lateral lines of a roadway, and the adjacent property lines, set aside and intended for the use of pedestrians. This enables people of all ages and physical conditions to have access to clean pedestrian walkways.
The definition of a sidewalk is broader than the traditional image of a paved walkway. A sidewalk can also include unpaved areas along the lateral line of a roadway. A sidewalk in technical terms is the edge of the roadway to the edge of the right-of-way, which extends beyond the edge of pavement and into the front or side yard. Even if there is not a constructed concrete sidewalk in front of your house or business, the property owner is still required to provide a sufficient path for safe pedestrian travel.
A city ordinance requires removal of snow and ice from public sidewalks by the abutting property owner, with violations subject to fines. If any citizen or business has a concern regarding sidewalk snow removal, the Division of Zoning and Code Enforcement is ready to help. Call (401) 728-0500, ext. 347 (Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 a.m.) to report locations which may be in violation of the City snow removal ordinance.
For seniors and the disabled, a volunteer snow shoveling program is overseen by Seniors Liaison Beth Roberge. The program, in its third year, relies primarily on school-age youths willing to help their neighbors at no charge. The service is subject to availability of volunteers and currently there is a waiting list. For more information, contact Roberge at 401-728-0500, ext. 241, or by email at broberge@pawtucketri.com.

The City of Pawtucket's improving financial position received objective recognition from a major credit rating agency that affirmed the city's bond rating at its current investment grade while raising its rating outlook from stable to positive.
"This is indeed very good news for our residents and taxpayers and shows we are continuing to move in the right direction," Mayor Donald R. Grebien said.
Fitch Ratings left intact its BBB- rating on $14.9 million of the city's general obligation bonds, citing increased revenues and expenditure cuts that have helped to stabilize city operations, "reasonable" management projections for further improvements, ongoing balanced budgets on the municipal side of operations and the city's projection of an operational surplus for the current budget year.
Also cited in the report were the city's discontinuance of relying on short term borrowing for cash flow purposes, full funding of annual required contributions toward city pensions, low debt levels for a community of its size and an ongoing rise in contributions to reserves, improving by $2.8 million to $5.2 million or a "moderate" 4.9 percent of municipal spending, reversing a prior negative trend that persisted before fiscal 2012, among several other areas.
The report noted the ongoing plan to address prior year deficits in the School Department which is projecting positive operating results for its final audit of fiscal 2013. "A trend of positive school fund operations could lead to positive rating movement. Timely elimination of the deficit balance is paramount," the analysis stated.
The full report, issued Nov. 19, is available online at www.fitchratings.com.
