WARWICK, RI — Most offices at the City Hall Annex have been temporarily moved to 51 Draper Ave. after the building was damaged by a burst water pipe the weekend of Jan. 5, and Mayor Scott Avedisian has also approved purchases to replace lost equipment immediately to avoid interruption of services.
Equipment that may need be replaced includes computers, electronics, and office supplies, according to a memo sent to City Finance Director Bruce Keiser.
Departments covered by the emergency request are:
- Building Department
- City Council Office
- Community Development
- MIS Department
- Personnel Department
- Planning Department
- Tax Collectors
- Tax Assessors
The emergency purchases will be paid for through budget code 18-400, and detailed in a spreadsheet, maintained by each department head, which identifies and describes the purchases as well as the loss the purchase replaces, according to the Mayor’s executive order approving the purchases.
Building inspector East Side Construction is conducting an independent inspection and assessment of the damage to the City Hall Annex.
