North Smithfield Town Council - June 30, 2025
A focused special meeting called for three purposes: set the FY2025–26 tax rates following the town’s revaluation, approve the procurement structure for the police station Construction Management at Risk (CMAR) process, and finalize a minor tax classification ordinance amendment. All five members present. No public signed up for open forum. The meeting was brief (~55 minutes) but consequential — the tax rate decision directly affects every property owner in town and reflects the first full revaluation cycle in years.
North Smithfield Town Council - June 23, 2025
A special meeting called as a continuation of the FY2025–26 budget public hearing. All five members present. No open forum. The meeting ended with everything tabled to June 24, but substantively it exposed two significant governance problems: a public challenge to the procurement process for the new senior services program, and a finance reconciliation failure that left the council unable to review current-year actuals with any confidence.

The meeting was heavily attended, primarily due to a resolution opposing Rhode Island 2024 gun control legislation. Agenda items also covered the FY2025–26 budget public hearing (continued), police vehicle procurement, a proposed code of conduct for boards and committees, Material Sand & Stone expert engagement and road use permit, senior center software, and tax ordinance amendments.
