The South Kingstown Town Council convened on October 28, 2024, to discuss several key items, including a new liquor license application, equipment purchases for emergency services, and the acquisition of a drone for enhanced emergency response.
One of the primary topics was a resolution to authorize the town clerk to advertise a public hearing for a Class B liquor license application submitted by A and S Investments LLC, operating as Terminacy's Cafe. This establishment is set to take over the location previously occupied by The Flats on High Street in Wakefield. The council unanimously approved the motion, with further discussions planned regarding the cafe's opening date.
In addition to the liquor license, the council approved the purchase of a 15,000-pound capacity trailer for $14,995, funded by American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) resources. This purchase follows a competitive bidding process, with Wright Trailers providing the lowest qualified bid.
The meeting also addressed the need for a new floor cleaning machine, which will replace a broken unit. The council authorized the purchase of a Karcher I scrub 20 floor machine for $13,511.90, also funded through ARPA.
A significant highlight was the proposal for a drone to assist the Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The drone, equipped with thermal imaging capabilities, will enhance the ability to locate patients in challenging environments, such as coastal areas or during search and rescue operations. The council approved this initiative, emphasizing the importance of real-time data in emergency situations.
Furthermore, the council discussed the procurement of radios for three new ambulances expected to arrive in the coming months. These radios are essential for communication and will be installed in the new vehicles, which are set to be operational by early 2025.
Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to improving local services and emergency response capabilities, with several initiatives moving forward to enhance community safety and operational efficiency.
