O'Leary at 7:30 P.M., there being a quorum present. The Invocation was given by the Rev. Jane Rzepka of the Unitarian Universalist Church, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. The Warrant was partially read by the Town Clerk, Lawrence Drew, when on motion of Paul C. Dustin, it was voted to dispense with further reading of the Warrant, except the Officer's Return, which was then read by the Town Clerk. ARTICLE 2. The following report presented by John H. Crooker, for the Municipal Light Department, was accepted as a report of progress. In light of the recent Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities decision relative to the Seabrook Project, the Reading Municipal Light Board will make a full and comprehensive report to this body on Tuesday, April 16th. By that time a number of outstanding questions should have been answered and we will be able to give you a definitive report. John H. Crooker, Chairman Municipal Light Board ARTICLE 2. The following "State of the Town" report presented by Paul C. Dustin was accepted as a report of progress. STATE OF THE TOWN Tonight as we open our annual town meeting, the first order of business is the report by the Selectmen concerning the State of the Town. In this year's report I bring you both a summary of the significant events of last year and a look to the future. The most significant past event certainly has been the land sale to TASC, and its future implications, while the main issue before us now is the need for the town governmental reform so as to better meet the needs of the coming years. In 1984 following lengthy negotiations 15.2 acres of land, occupied by the BPW on John Street were sold to TASC for $1, 760 000. Based upon their projections, the first of two 120,000 square foot buildings should be ready for occupancy by the fall of 186. When this occurs the Town will begin to receive the first tax dollars for what should ultimately be a magnet for the potential development of the balance of the land fill area. We all recognize, however, that this is not yet a completely rosy picture since we must still resolve the dilemma of the BPW relocation. To compound the problem is the realization that the planned relocation area now has a substantial sale value. We have, in fact, received expressions of interest to purchase the land for Office Park development. But what of Public Works? The present John Street study likely will not be completely until late summer, and therefore, a decision on the land use question will not be resolved until fall. The TASC sale implications therefore, and how, and to what extent, will the John Street area be utilized. The other major sale, the Reading Depot, is significant because this surplus building will not be torn down but will be maintained and converted into a restaurant. Through preservation restrictions, which will be incorporated into the deed, the railroad motif of the building will be maintained. These restrictions were worked out by the Historical Commission, the Selectmen and the builder, and will preserve the historical value of the Reading Depot. We have also begun the steps for the sale of the Community Center, "at long last" -- some might add. As I give this report, we have advertised for proposals for purchase and use, and those proposals will be in the April 25th. At that time, they will be evaluated and a decision made as to which to pursue. Again, we are faced with a dilemma. We have been directed to sell for the best interests of the Town, but are those interests best served by considering the social values if the building is used for elderly or low income housing, or a commercial sale to maximize revenue ?. Revenue that could be applied to help resolve the fiscal needs of the Town? This question must be wrestled with. During the past year, we have taken additional steps toward implementing Affirmative Action programs within the Town. Notably we hired our first female police officer. We have also formed a Fair Housing Committee which is now working to complete a Fair Housing Plan for submission to MCAD. This will help bring the Town into compliance with regulations and enhance our chances of obtaining Federal and State grant money. 309 Town Meeting April 8, 1985 So much for past accomplishments, what of the future? Also in the year just ended the Town took the major step of again endorsing the creation of a Charter Commission. As we were before in 1975, we are again at a crossroads. In 1975 the goal of that Charter Commission was consolidation of Town government to achieve greater efficiency. Today the issue is to streamline government so that it can more readily cope with the additional constraints and regulations which were not there when the previous Charter was drawn up. Reading town government today can be characterized as being conducted by Committee with no centralized authority able to direct or consolidate the priorities of the individual departments, as relates to the Town as a whole. Indeed, the elected Boards, Officials and other committees take no direction except as may be provided by Town Meeting. The Selectmen are sometimes accused of providing no effective leadership to guide overall direction. This role, in reality, is accomplished to some degree only by the Finance Committee through the means of appropriation request approval, or disapproval. Add to the autonomy of the departments, the constraints of Proposition 2'/z and other state requirements which have emerged over the years and we can quickly see how difficult it is to effectively prioritize. Let me name just a few: * Open meeting law * Proposition 2yz * Affirmative Action Laws OSHA and Right to Know Law * Environmental Protection and requlations In addition to implementing these requirements some of them further require the Town to provide a coordinator or administrator. Currently many of these administrators are present Town employees doing additional functions, but we may well see the need arise for people to be added because of scope and complexity. The result of all this is having a profound change in the needs and structure of local governments. The sophistication of thesse areas is demanding specialists or professionals in order to be effective. That this is so, all one needs to do is to read the local newspapers. This spring in particular, towns are changing their governmental forms as Town Meetings vote in Executive Secretaries and Town Administrators. One town in New Hampshire is even considering a city form. It is becoming evident that we must have an administrative structure which is adequate and knowledgable. Remember, Reading in 1985 is a $28 million corporation. Now, what of our traditional volunteer form, where citizens come forward to donate their time from Selectmen, School Committee, BPW .. through the various appointive and ad hoc committees, such as Fair Housing Committee to name just a few. Is this structure still adequate? The answer may well be, no. The system is now demanding more of its citizens than they, with business and family commitments, may be able to provide. Again, let me offer some examples: * Labor Negotiations- seemingly on a yearly basis, or at least so for 3 of the last 4, and with six bargaining units. * Annual town meetings of two sessions, often with specials within, as well as separate. Those need to be prepared for and attended. * Various study, and again some might say restudy, committees. * Board membership and additional liaison assignments. * Specific issues such as Affirmative Action whose complexity require more knowledge that generally possessed by a citizen volunteer. Our citizens have come forward in the past and hopefully will continue to do so in the future, although it is becoming increasingly difficult to fill the ballot each spring. Are there ON too many offices and committees? Does the answer lie in the proper balance of consolidation, with trained administrators, a centralized authority and citizen officials? We 1 have an opportunity now ahead of us to review Town Government and effect a more efficient form. Respectfully submitted, Paul C. Dustin Board of Selectmen 310 Town Meeting April 8, 1985 ARTICLE 2. The following report of the Finance Committee, presented by Russell T. Graham, was accepted as a Report of Progress. Mr. Moderator: In this Annual Town Meeting you will be asked to appropriate $26,083,797.00 to fund town government for FY 1986, without any allocation for salary increases because of on- going negotiations with unions. The end result of this, is that $583,707 is the total allowable increase in expenditure left if town meeting, in its deliberations, chooses to fund the requested appropriations. If the end result of negotiations create a need for a higher amount than this, then in order to remain within the legal limits of Proposition 2'/z cuts would have to be made. The total payroll on which increases could be due is $13,689,200.00. The figures mean that some very obvious tough decisions will have to be made in the on -going negotiations. Since hopefully, other expenses will have been set, higher salary requests than the limit amount spelled out, given in a Special Town Meeting could mean an offsetting decrease in personnel. That we have even this amount available comes about as a result of some extraordinary items whose continuance need to be analyzed. Within this budget, we have wherever possible, used funds from sale of real estate in order to allow Town Meeting the greatest flexibility in its decision making. Funds from sale of real estate cannot be used for salary increases, nor can funds from the stabilization account. If we were not to have used them and passed the budget as proposed, then you would be painted into a corner with theoretically wages increases to be granted and no funds to use for their appropriation. Conversly, it does not in any way mandate the use of the $583,707 to be available, for if Town Meeting should in any future Special Town Meeting determine not to appropriate part or whole of that sum for salary increases, it could be put into a stabilization account for the Town's future use. We believe this method, as we have said, allows Town Meeting the most flexibility in its deliberations. Finally, Mr. Moderator, we wish as we did in our FinCom Report, to express our thanks to all Boards, Committees, Departments and Employees, for the extraordinary cooperation we have, as your Advisory Committee, received from them. In the midst of much criticism we should pause to reflect how very fortunate Reading is to have the kind of people we do, so intensly involved and devoted to the common good of our Community. Hopefully, under Article 15, we will be able to translate that spirit of cooperation into an omnibus budget motion saving the Town Meeting hours of time and further bringing much relief to the posteriors of its members. Thank you Mr. Moderator. ARTICLE 2. On motion of Paul C. Dustin, it was voted to lay Article 2 on the table. ARTICLE 3. Carl H.
