Unless the Narragansett Town Council is unable to reach an agreement with Richard Kerbel, he will take over as interim town manager from Narragansett Police Chief Dean Hoxsie.
NARRAGANSETT - About an hour after he received a standing ovation from residents, the Narragansett Town Council voted 3-2 to essentially remove interim town manager Dean Hoxsie from the position. In his place, the council appointed Richard Kerbel as interim manager, which elicited a mixture of surprise and laments from the crowd of about 80 that stayed until the end of Monday night's meeting. As councilors hastily voted to adjourn the meeting moments after the vote, one person from the stunned crowd yelled, “You should be ashamed,” which was preceded and followed by murmuring and light booing. The appointment is contingent on Kerbel reaching agreement on a contract with the town, but that appears to be a formality based on comments by the …

About 11 officers were honored and recognized for promotion by the Narragansett Town Council on Monday night.
Ten officers were promoted and a proclamation was issued to the retiring deputy chief Gerald D. Driscoll at Monday’s Narragansett Town Council meeting. Driscoll was honored for his lifelong work with the department. He started with the department as a patrolman and at the time of his retirement, he was a deputy chief, second-in-command to Dean Hoxsie. Following Driscoll’s retirement, which officially took place in November 2012, the council approved a reorganization of police ranks based on a recommendation by Hoxsie. The non-union deputy chief position was eliminated, and another captain unit was added. Sean Corrigan was promoted from to this captain slot from detective lieutenant. Other promotions: Kevin O’Connor, James Wass, Brent …

Near the end of a meeting Monday night, the council agrees to interview town manager candidates in private the next two Saturdays.
NARRAGANSETT – By a 4-1 vote and after 40 minutes of debate on Monday night, the Narragansett Town Council agreed to interview candidates in a private executive session for its open town manager position on Saturday, Jan. 12, and if needed, Jan. 19. Councilor Matthew Mannix was the lone vote against, with councilors James Callaghan, Douglas McLaughlin, Glenna Hagopian and Susan Cicilline Buonanno voting for. The interviews are expected to be held sometime between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. on those Saturdays. Mannix said he objected to having the meeting in an executive session, and said candidates should instead be interviewed in front of residents, given the past issues the town had had with managers. “Do I know there are drawbacks to this? Yes I…
