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 City Hall will be open for extended hours of service until 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 21. The extended hours are part of a three-month trial in which the Board of Canvassers, City Clerk, Collections, Mayor's Office and Zoning Department will all have additional hours until 7 p.m.
Grebien said the added hours will allow those unable to make it to City Hall during the regular business day to receive services at night and help fulfill his pledge to provide greater access to municipal government services for residents and businesses.
In addition to the above named offices remaining open later, representatives of the Rhode Island Secretary of State Election Division will also be available on Nov. 21 from 5 to 8 p.m. at City Hall to provide voter identification cards, free of charge, to registered voters who do not have picture photo identification.
State law that takes effect Jan. 1, 2014 will require that all voters show a photo I.D. when they go to the polls, including for the elections in September and November of 2014. Acceptable forms of photo identification at the polls include: valid R.I. driver's license, U.S. passport, I.D. card issued by any educational institution in the United States, U.S. military I.D. card, State of Rhode Island or federal government issued I.D. card or governmental issued medical card.
Registered voters who do not have a form of photo identification as noted above are eligible to receive a free voter identification card. Please bring proof of your address (such as a utility bill or rent receipt) to verify your address.
The city Board of Canvassers will also be in attendance for city residents who wish to register to vote.
For additional information, contact the Mayor's Office at 728-0500, ext. 281 or the Board of Canvassers at 722-1637.Click here for the complete story
In cooperation with the state Department of Health, the city will host a free vaccination clinic for flu and other illnesses on Saturday, Nov. 16 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Jenks Junior High School, 350 Division St. (across from McCoy Stadium).
The following vaccines will be available:
Medical professionals will be on hand to answer any questions and provide more detailed information on what vaccines are appropriate or recommended for anyone attending the clinic.
Those with health insurance are asked to bring their insurance card but insurance is not required to receive the vaccines, which are being provided free of charge. No one will be turned away for lack of health insurance. There is also no residency or personal identification requirement.
"The idea of these free clinics is that by making the vaccinations free and available to everyone, everybody in the community will be better protected against these illnesses," explained city EMA Director Normand Menard.
The clinic is being run in conjunction with the Pawtucket Emergency Management Agency, whose volunteers have distributed informational flyers in Pawtucket and Central Falls at senior housing complexes, both public and private, local churches and public buildings.
The Department of Health works with municipal emergency planners and The Wellness Company, an ancillary health and wellness services provider, to hold free vaccination clinics in Rhode Island throughout the year.
Further information about the Department of Health vaccination clinics is available online at
http://www.health.ri.gov/find/vaccinations/. Further information about The Wellness Company and the services it provides is available online at http://www.thewellcomp.com/.
The EMA volunteers will also be in attendance at the flu clinic which will function for them as a Med POD (Medical Point of Dispensing) training exercise, according to Menard. "This will help us be better prepared in the event of an emergency that might require dispensing medical services on a community-wide scale," Menard said.

Contrary to Kermit the Frog's belief in the old "Muppets" skit that, "It ain't easy being green," being green in Pawtucket is about to become easier, at least when it comes to planting trees along city sidewalks.
The city announced a new program that will bring trees, free of charge, to sidewalks outside the homes of city residents, replacing a former 50-50 shared-cost program that had mixed results.
"Trees are not only good for the environment, they also brighten the city streetscape in so many ways," Mayor Donald R. Grebien said. "We're hoping that by broadening the program we will encourage more participation."
Program participants will have a choice of four types of trees: Chinese Elm, Bowhall Red Maple, Littleleaf Linden and London Plan Tree. For trees that would be sited under power lines, the two choices are Chanticleer Pear and Japanese Zelkova. The trees, about 2 to 2 ½ inches in diameter, must be spaced a minimum 50 feet apart. The city will provide mulch upon installation by a license arborist contractor, with long-term maintenance the responsibility of the property owner.
The program, funded under the city's federal block grant program, is being administered by the city Department of Public Works. To encourage neighborhood participation, DPW Director Lance Hill said highest priority will be given to joint applications by collaborating residents.
"We think residents getting together will have the greatest impact on improving quality of life in the neighborhoods," Hill said.
Applications are available at the Department of Public Works Center, 250 Armistice Blvd., or can be printed from the city website at www.pawtucketri.com/departments/engineering. (Because the applications require a signature, they cannot be completed online.) Applicants can also call DPW at 728-0500, ext. 339.
Applications will be accepted until Dec. 1, 2013 for the first round of planting in the spring of 2014 subject to funding availability. Those not accepted for the initial round will remain on a priority list for future planting.
Hill noted the city also maintains its traditional 50-50 funding program for sidewalk construction for both homes and businesses, with applications on the city website or at the DPW office.

The City of Pawtucket is establishing a public notice registry, for any person interested in receiving electronic notice of any changes to Pawtucket's land use and subdivision regulations or Zoning Ordinance. To be listed on this registry, please contact Kerri Vecoli at 401-724-5200 or kvecoli@pawtucketri.com.
Determined to be as pro-active as possible in addressing problem areas for rodents, the city is using technology as well as bait stations-three times as many as last year-to respond.
"We reorganized our approach and developed a tracking system with a software program to systematically track where we've been and where new complaints are coming from," said Zoning and Code Enforcement Director Shaun Logue.
"We can now account for all the properties with rat complaints, all the places where we have previously set out bait stations and what the results are. Every two weeks an automatic follow-up pops up," according to data input by city environmental inspectors, Logue said. Areas thus determined to have no activity will allow moving bait stations more quickly to new locations where they may be needed.
"It's a more modern approach to a very old problem," Logue said.
Logue said to ramp up for the active rodent season as the weather gets warmer, he ordered dozens of additional bait stations and now has approximately 100 available to deploy. While the Fairlawn and Woodlawn areas are the source of most complaints, he said no neighborhood should consider itself immune to rats and that the bait stations will be set out, with the property owner's signed permission, wherever needed.
"This is a quality of life issue for our neighborhoods and we will use whatever resources are needed to address it," said Mayor Donald R. Grebien, adding that a community meeting will be set up in the next few weeks to allow residents to voice any questions or concerns.
City environmental inspectors have undergone training by the state Department of Environmental Management. DEM-required notification cards, which also include emergency contact numbers, will be posted on property where bait stations are placed.
At Grebien's direction, Zoning & Code Enforcement has created an informative illustrated brochure with tips about rodent infestation and prevention as well as safety tips and links to other resources. The brochure is available on the city website at www.pawtucketri.com. To contact Zoning & Code Enforcement about a rodent issue, call 401-728-0500, ext. 254, or by email at asalum@pawtucketri.com.
