The Warwick Fire Department relied on only one loaned engine to fully staff the city’s nine stations Monday, although that could change at any moment, warned acting chief Marcel Fontenault.
Over the last month, the department has depended on as many as eight vehicles – a combination of engines, ladders and rescues – from other departments in a single day to cover for city vehicles out of commission for a variety of repairs. Fontenault can’t promise that won’t happen again.
“Some minor things have been fixed,” he said. “We have just one engine out right now.”
Looking long range, Fontenault said there needs to be a plan to replace some of the older vehicles. The department’s older trucks are used as reserves, filling in for the newer ones when they require preventive maintenance or experience a breakdown. But breakdowns with newer as well as reserve trucks have required the department to turn to other departments. Loaners have come from a number of municipalities, including North Providence, Coventry and North Kingstown.
On Wednesday the City Council awarded the $291,631 bid of New England Fire and Apparatus Equipment Corp. for a rescue to replace the Rescue 5, currently stationed at Station 4. Rescue 5 will then become Rescue 14, which will be used as a reserve.
In endorsing bid approval, Ward 5 Councilman Ed Ladouceur and chair of the finance committee called the new rescue “a revenue generating piece of equipment.”
“This isn't something that is just driving around the city or going wherever it goes. It is a revenue-generating piece of equipment,” he said. “I believe that in its life cycle it is going to pay for itself. That certainly makes sense to me.”
But while the council moved ahead with purchase of the rescue, it balked on the $848,070 bid for two Pierce Saber Stock Pumpers on the recommendation of Fontenault.
“We have some of their vehicles at this time. However, recently we've had some trouble with the model that we're looking at, so I think it's in our best interest at this time to hold this bid and go out to re-bid and we can look at the needs with the current administration and go forward and work together in purchasing some new fire equipment,” Fontenault told the finance committee.
In a phone interview Monday, Fontenault dispelled rumors that one of the city’s newer engines, a 2015 Pierce, was offline because of such a minor defect as a broken mirror. He didn’t describe the problem with the 2015 engine, but said there had been a broken mirror on a truck but it was offline no more than 20 minutes when a temporary replacement was installed.
Of the fully operational vehicles on the road, Fontenault said, “they have been inspected.” He also said the recurring breakdowns have not compromised the safety of Warwick residents as the department has been able to cover with the loaners.
The city has not been in the position to loan any of its reserves to other departments.
“We have nothing to loan out,” said Fontenault.
“The worst thing is a breakdown on a run,” said Fontenault. So far, there haven’t been any reports of that happening.
Replacing engines is an expensive proposition. Ideally, Fontenault would like to see the city acquire two new engines in the next year or two. He put the cost at $450,000 to $525,000 each and is hearing from vendors that the cost could be bumped up by five percent as a result of President Trump’s tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. Last September, the Finance Committee rejected a $350,000 bid for an engine, saying it could not commit to the expenditure so early in the fiscal year.
“Now that we have a new administration we have to look at the replacement process,” Fontenault said.

Simple,
Have each firefighter that has been overpaid by the unused sick time scam, write a check to re-reimburse the taxpayers. We can start with Fontenault writing his check for $5293.45.

Hey Craptain, here is an idea just for you. Instead of being the first to comment on Fire Department articles, why not get a job and be a contributor to the city of Warwick. Things you should try like paying taxes on time, not harassing neighbors and city employees, volunteering to help the less fortunate, etc. Things that "normal" citizens do and do not do. I would suggest coaching and mentoring youth but I question your psyche and the safety of the young should they be exposed to you. You claim to be a pilot...be a safe one go get an IFR ticket because it seems you are always in the clouds with obscured vision. You are a pathetic little man and your time is near. No one has been over paid and there is no scam as you portray. There maybe an accounting error just like financial institutions with accounting departments make. Get out of the clouds so you can see the horizon because right now your flying by the seat of your pants trusting your off kilter senses. If you are any kind of a pilot, you know the result when you disregard the instrument panel. I do believe you are heading for a big crash! Will the masses that are your followers avail themselves to your aid in the aftermath? Me thinks there is no one that will come to assist because there is no one for you there now. Tough landing Robbie...but hey if you walk away it will be considered a good landing. Walk away and it will be a great landing for Warwick.Your cleared to land runway 16 winds are 180 degrees at 35 knots...good luck!

The results?
The results are $247,850.60 between 2015-17. What is very interesting is how on July 17th, all of the records for captains and battalion chiefs were missing. They mysteriously re-appeared on Aug 10th. They show some very interesting (shall we say clever) accounting. In the case of one battalion chief, the accountability sheets indicate that he took 24 sick days. The records of sick time show he took 23 sick days, and the sick pay sheets show he took 20 sick days. He was paid for 15 unused days which is perfect attendance having taken zero sick days. Now that some serious manipulation isn't it hemi-royd? Oh , I mean accounting error. Hemi-royd, why don't you take a shot at explaining this phenomenon . See if you can stay on topic.
The following men were all paid the maximum amount of unused sick pay, although they all took different amounts of sick time. This was during 2016-17 when the max payout was 15 days.

The amounts, I believe as you state, are chargeable as felonious offenses. So instead of laying it all out here, concentrate your efforts with State and Federal authorities and lets get some charges, convictions, and incarcerations.

There is alot of things that don't really make sense to me about these accusations. What is the actual crime Rob is accusing the WFD of? I think the 2 commenters have a point when they ask have authorities been contacted? Is Rob saying this is clerical, and the employees knew and didn't correct it? Is he saying employees received this extra money without knowing it? For this to be a crime it would involve large numbers of employees, payroll etc. Not just 1 or 2 people planning it. I would think law enforcement would be over a large scale "fraud" operation. Maybe I'm wrong. I will say if those amounts were overpaid to each employee knowingly or not there should be a system for the money to be paid back. That seems like a reasonable solution if there were any errors that took place.
Tuesday, August 21, 2018 Report this
Thecaptain
Scal,
Here is my fundamental argument and observation. This is the historical contract language of importance:
SECTION 6. PAYMENT FOR UNUSED SICK LEAVE AFTER MAXIMUM
ACCUMULATION
In any case where an employee has accumulated his or her or her maximum sick leave
entitlement under Section 1 hereof, he or she shall, at the end of each year, be entitled
to be paid for one-half (½) of his or her unused, yearly sick leave entitlement, not to
exceed ten (10) days. Such payment is to be made on the basis of said employee’s
daily rate of pay as of January 31, and shall be paid to the employee by the thirtieth
(30th) day of March of each year.
Since 2003 they were eligible to be paid for 10 days maximum. It is an annual benefit which was paid annually, like every other fire dept in New England that has an unused sick pay clause. Annual payment for the unused. In 2012 the language remained the same with exception to the last line which now states: and shall be paid to the employee by the last day of each month.
In 2015 it was changed from 10 days payment to maximum 15 days payment . The latest language is as follows:
In any case where an employee has accumulated his or her or her maximum sick leave
entitlement under Section 1 hereof, he or she shall, at the end of each year, be entitled to
be paid for three-fourths (3/4) of his or her unused, yearly sick leave entitlement, prorated
on a monthly basis, not to exceed fifteen (15) days. Such payment is to be made
on the basis of said employee’s daily rate of pay and shall be paid to the employee by the
last day of each month.
You will note the important specific language in all historical WFD contracts and in the current contract as follows.
HE OR SHE SHALL, AT THE END OF EACH YEAR, BE ENTITLED TO
BE PAID FOR THREE-FOURTHS (3/4) OF HIS OR HER UNUSED, YEARLY SICK LEAVE ENTITLEMENT
OK, are you with me so far? SHALL, AT THE END OF EACH YEAR is the verbiage that is still in the contract.
Very simply stated, you are entitled to be paid for 75% of your unused sick time to a maximum of 15 days. So at the end of the year if you used 5 days that means you can only be paid for 75% of 15 days or 11.25 days. Everyone is being overpaid and the system has been manipulated. It is impossible to take 12 sick days or even 1 for that matter, and still be paid the maximum unused sick time.
So as I have posted previous to this, how does one man who has perfect attendance get paid the exact amount that a man that took off 7 days gets paid? That's the question, but you will note that no FF will address that issue. The city documents are very clear and simple. However, we have found hundreds of mathematical errors contained within the documents. Not dozens, hundreds. That is fact.
If you took 10 sick days and you were paid out for perfect attendance, do you not know that a mistake was made? If so, do you bring it to anyone's attention? Think about this for a minute. Why did it take 2 years, and numerous AG complaints to finally force the WFD to release these documents? Why did they knowingly remove the upper ranks documentation?
You decide. My point is that there is clearly enough evidence to suggest manipulation at the least, and possibly more.

Captain, I appreciate the step by step explanation. I had heard you explain it on the radio before. However, this was a bit easier to follow. The upper ranks documents you refer to, what was the explanation given for their disappearance? Was there an explanation ever given as to why the payments were changed to monthly? Who would have ok'd that, meaning would that decision come specifically from within the Department? I just want to learn the truth about the issue. I know with time the report will show whatever it shows, this is an important issue. It is a heavy accusation Rob which is why I ask questions, its nothing personal...but I do understand the point you make about perfect attendance vs taking 1 sick day, and getting the same payout. I guess we will all find out soon enough. I will reserve full judgement until the report is finished.

Scal,
A couple of things. You most likely will not see the finished report any time soon because as of this day the mayors office has refused to release payroll documents to the auditor. That is the delay amongst a few other things that I wont discuss on here. However, this issue boils down to 4th grade math. My accusation is that there is something wrong with the 4th grade math. I can assure you, the numbers that I have posted are indisputable.
As to the explanation from the WFD as to why there were missing documents? The answer was "Uh, we don't know, we just bring for review what you asked for". Direct quote from August 10th. By the way, there are still several members documents still missing. Why?
You have to understand a couple of things. Until my relentless questioning on this issue, not one city council member in 20 years has ever asked for 1 single piece of documentation to quantify anything presented by the WFD. They are at fault along with Avedisian, his former chief of staff in 2012, Peter Ruggiero and others, to ignore common contract law and knowingly and willfully engage in contract language which puts the taxpayer at risk. I don't know if you have every thoroughly read and understood this contract, but there are several areas of language which contradict the sentence before it.
In that situation, the law dictates under false claims, that the original premise of the language must be interpreted and the historical language must be studied. I implore you and anyone else to go to this site:
http://www.municipalfinance.ri.gov/contracts/
and find 1 municipality that has a unused sick pay out that is distributed monthly. Then you can do the same for MA and CT.
I think it is pretty obvious that we have been gamed and everyone knew about it. Just unfortunate that 4th grade math is so challenging to elected officials.

While a member of the department we were paid one a year in the month of October for unused sick.
I do recall certain individuals complain and firing off comments to the Beacon that this practice has to stop. Why are we paying firefighters for being healthy to the sun of $200,00 a year in the month of October. The city can't afford this. Sound familiar?
So the firefighters in the next contract negotiated for it to be paid monthly to alleviate the October issue.
So the real issue isn't being paid monthly or yearly it's being paid at all and that's the truth.
These critics won't be happy until that happens. If it does happen they just can't erase the days. They've earned them contractually.
So the critics aren't happy whether yearly or monthly.

Warwick Man, why in your opinion did this accounting or clerical error go unnoticed? I haven't accused anyone of anything on this topic but I think that is a fair question. I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) you even stated this was some type of clerical error, if that is the case then it is not a complete clown show, and that money should be paid back. Again, that is ONLY if it is found that these employees were overpaid. Even if this turns out to be a simple clerical error (I know Rob disputes that) I hope other departments like DPW, Schools etc are looked at with the same scrutiny the WFD has. We have one of the best fire departments in the region, I hope that is not overlooked throughout this discussion.

So while I understand your point, you are preaching to the choir on those things. However, if there was any kind of clerical error it should be corrected immediately, I don't think you dispute that though. I don't dispute when this is over he'll probably be following the trucks around again (which again, is ridiculous) but as much as I hate that stuff, it doesn't make every single thing he says a lie either.

Let me correct the false information that once again has been given by Daydreambeliver. You do recall that last week he said he was not a member of the WFD but worked for W. Warwick for 30 years. So how would he know.
Correction - The sick time "year" is February 1 to Jan 30.
Correction - The once a year payment was never made in October, it was made on March 30th. See historical contract language below.
SECTION 6. PAYMENT FOR UNUSED SICK LEAVE AFTER MAXIMUM
ACCUMULATION
In any case where an employee has accumulated his or her or her maximum sick leave
entitlement under Section 1 hereof, he or she shall, at the end of each year, be entitled

What amazes me is the grandstanding you do.
This article is about trucks and departments loaning them and our status in the fleet.
First comment the infamous Rob off track talking about sick leave.
What's the matter Rob can't get your name in the paper enough?
When the dust settles not one firefighter knowingly and blatantly misled the city or embezzled. If so then they should be persecuted and this goes back to Rowan,Chartier,Sullivan,Armstrong and McLaughlin. This audit will show it was the city if at all made mistakes not the fire department.
You can only use what the city provides be it software or pencil and paper.
Yes we know the audit isn't moving as fast as you would like but it will get done you need to relax just a bit and let them do there jobs.
Once this is over what's the next topic your planning on going after? It's never ending and they expect it unknown what it is but I'm sure you have a checklist.

Daydreamer always has to make things into a personal attack. I didn't attack him for his numerous spelling, punctuation and grammar errors. I am simply pointing to fact that has been supported by official documents. The only conclusion is that clearly, without a doubt, men have been paid in direct conflict with the contract language which has resulted in over payments. Now, I can certainly speculate on how this has taken place, I can show documentation as to the use of paper and pencil, and I can perform the simple math. However, officially speaking, we all know that the "OFFICIAL' explanation will have to come from a third party. However, given the facts, lets all stipulate for the record that if a private resident and taxpayer had not made the records requests, perform the analysis, and brought the findings to the officials, there would never have been a third party and that nothing would ever have been done. We have the right under the law to vigorously challenge and question our elected officials. Remember that.
One thing I can guarantee for certain. There will be major changes made in the way that unused sick time is paid out, (if at all).

“There will be major changes made in the way that unused sick time is paid out, (if at all).
You care to elaborate ? I certainly know that’s contractual and as far as I recall your not part of the negotiating team with the city and you certainly don’t negotiate with the fire department so please elaborate what you mean?
The city council also doesn’t negotiate all they do is vote yes or no that’s there job after a temporary agreement is in place.
You do realize you can’t take away the sick days owed to each individual and that they will have to be compensated for every single one they have whether one or one hundred and forty.
You also realize the city doesn’t pay TDI so if the city abolishes sick time or accumulating ( which they won’t) then the cities cost will go up with each employee.
I have no problem with anyone including you asking about city finances as I live here also.
If there are overpayments how is this the FD fault? Wouldn’t it be payroll or the finance department? Stop blaming everything on the FD for the cities woes.
They are a small percentage of the budget and could things improve of course but let it play itself out and stop with the guarantee about major changes.

Daydreamer,
First, you can say thank you to me for saving so far `11.5 million dollars on car taxes that has gone directly back to the people of Warwick. That is what has been returned as of July 1 2018 due to my efforts and continued abuse of elected officials which forced the exemption to be increased to $2000. Not withstanding the fact that there would have been no talk whatsoever about statewide reform had I not been a royal pain in the ass to lots of elected officials. So , your welcome.
Second, I have been outspoken about DPW waste for a very long time, school dept waste, and sewer issues. Where have you been other than being anonymous and changing screen names regularly.
In addition, you do realize that the fire departments finances are self contained, payroll is done in house, sick time recordings are done in house, and all of the calculations relative to payroll are done in house and then sent to finance to have the checks cut. You do realize that the finance department has no oversight whatsoever on the production of records of the WFD. You must know that. If I have been told that, and the city council has been told that publicly, then you must be aware of it. So stop trying to indicate that "if there is a problem it is within the finance department". It is called manipulation. You make lots of baseless claims without any kind of documentation which I find rather odd. On the other hand, I wont speak until I have an official document in hand.
As I have said a hundred times, any time you or anyone else would like to review the documents, just ask. Anytime, anywhere. Here's an idea, why dont you make a time to meet, say at the Warwick Public Library, and I will present the documents and show you the analysis. We'll do it there that way there wont be a group of firefighters whistling and hooting like they did when Cushman gave his analysis on the pension liabilities. Or would you rather not see the paperwork and ignore it as did Marcel Fontenault when he was handed copies at the budget hearings?
Pick a time.
