Criteria for Evaluating Capital Projects
Town of Reading, MA
The following criteria are used by the Town Manager to
determine priorities for requested Capital projects to be
included in the Capital Improvement Program. Guiding
principles include:
Let's keep our commitments to public good by
taking care of what we've inherited to the best of
our ability,
Let's keep our commitment to future generations
by making prudent investments that will enhance
the quality of life long term
These criteria are not listed in any order of priority.
1. Project addresses a life health/safety deficiency
(example - inadequate fresh air into an office)
2. Project maintains or improves public safety
(example - replacement of Police and Fire radios)
3. Project is required to address an inadequacy that
makes a particular portion of the infrastructure
non-conforming to state or federal law or
regulation which is binding upon the Town
(example - HC access improvements to a public
building)
4. Project will result in substantial and measurable
cost savings (example - energy improvements)
5. Project replaces infrastructure that has reached or
is about to reach the end of its physical or
functional life, or the project will prolong the
physical or functional life of the infrastructure asset
(Example - road improvements)
6. Project is a high priority to the requesting
department and is essential to its operation
(example - replace stack shelving in the Library)
7. Project takes advantage of one-time or unusual
opportunities that benefit the Town of Reading
(Example - purchase of a critical parcel of land at
a lower price because of a slumping economy)
8. Project leverages Town resources to accomplish a
community goal at lower cost to the Town
(Example -purchase of a parcel of land a portion
of the cost of which is paid for through a one time
gift or grant)
9. Project advances a key goal of the community in
making an improvement beyond what exists
currently (Example - development of, an additional
elementary school)
Note - examples are actual situations that the Town is
dealing with currently, or has dealt.with in the recent past.

Finance Committee Meeting
b~ December 8, 2010
f63"'INCORQR" Conference Room, Reading Town Hall
The meeting convened at 7:30 PM in the Conference Room at Town Hall.
FINCOM Members Present: Chair Marsie West, Vice Chair David Greenfield, Mark Dockser, Bryan
Walsh, Barry Berman, Kevin Leyne, Francis Fardy and Paula Perry.
Members Absent: Hal Torman
Also Present: Assistant Town Manager/Finance Director Bob LeLachuer, and recording secretary Abby
McCabe. Town Manager Peter Heckenbleikner joined the meeting at 8:45 PM.
There being a quorum the FINCOM Chair called the meeting to order at 7:35 pm.

Budget Process:
The Committee discussed ideas on how to present the budget to Town Meeting members and the
community. It was recommended that a summary of the budget and a simplistic approach would be most
valuable. It was also suggested to look at more than a position's funding source when reviewing cuts such
as the function of the position and its importance to the Town. Mr. LeLacheur pointed out that all
positions funded by the general fund are listed at the back of the annual town warrant. The Board of
Selectmen will be having at least two meetings to discuss the budget in early January.
Mr. Greenfield asked if there were any updates from the state. Mr. LeLacheur responded that the state
appears to have less of a deficit than what was originally projected but there is still a significant shortfall.
There will likely be a reduction in state aid but the amount is unknown until the Governor's budget is
announced in early January. The health insurance costs are another major variable that will not be known
until February. The Town in expecting to have 1.75% change in the operating budget and assuming a 10%
change in state aid. The Town Manager provides his recommended budget to FINCOM in mid February
after the health insurance rates. and the Governor's budget have been confirmed.
One member suggested collecting an email list of all Town Meeting members to distribute information
before Annual Town Meeting. It was also suggested to include the meeting topics on the budget meeting
calendar in advance. Mr. LeLacheur explained that department heads and boards give their
recommendations for the budget but it is ultimately the Town Manager's recommended budget that will
be before FINCOM and Town Meeting.
Review of the Expenses Financial Forum:
A chart has been created listing all of the suggestions brought up at the financial forum in October that
focused on expenses and costs savings. Page 3 through 5 of the meeting handout shows the number of
votes each suggestion received during the forum. A FINCOM member asked how likely it is that
regionalization of certain positions and departments is possible. Mr. LeLacheur explained that many
regionalization options are currently being discussed and considered but it is not likely that they'll be
implemented at this point. Regionalization works best when there is a weakness in a service or particular
area so that can be shared with another community. A recent dispatch study with surrounding towns found
that there would be no cost savings for Reading. The veteran's services department is currently shared
with Wilmington.
as
Review undated version of the Revenue info with Town Departments:
The Committee reviewed a few examples for following up on the revenue financial forum suggestions to
expand cell tower leases, the sale of surplus town own land, and billing for at fault accidents. FINCOM
discussed ways to follow-up from the financial forum by adding information to the website that includes
research for each suggested revenue source, an explanation for why or why it is not being considered and
the next steps to be taken. Mr. LeLacheur will be in contact with the appropriate departments needed to
look into the revenue and cost savings recommendations. FINCOM recommended that the next step, the
responsible party and the final recommendation be clearly stated. Discussion continued on the format of
how the information should be displayed on the website. Any further comments should be directed to Mr.
LeLacheur. FINCOM discussed including the suggestions and the updates as an item to be reviewed
regularly at the Committee meetings. .
Ratings Aeencv view of cash position:
In response to a recent Boston Globe article about the accuracy of the figures in a study by Moody's
Investors Service, Mr. LeLacheur contacted Moody's for clarification on the figures. Moody's responded
that they did not know where the Globe got the data and provided further information on how Moody's
determines the ratings.
Dept Issue:
A chart detailing debt levels was also recently published based on 2008 data from the Department of
Revenue. The chart shows Reading with a very high debt level when compared to surrounding
communities. However, comparing communities over a year or a short period of time is not reliable
because it can be misleading by including one time payments. For Reading, there was a one time payoff
to the MSBA in 2008 which altered the results seen in this chart.
Licenses & Permit Assessment:
Mr. LeLacheur summarized the findings of the consultant hired to perform an inventory and needs
assessment for Reading's permitting and licensing. The consultant was responsible for performing the
inventory while the Town will make a recommendation for the permitting software that to be selected.
The permitting software vendor has not yet been determined. The new software would also need to be
implemented over time and most likely phased throughout different departments.
January Financial Forum Planning:
FINCOM would like to have the Capital Plan on the agenda at the financial forum in January. The
Committee will also provide and update and follow up to the last two financial forums with the updated
summary spreadsheets for the potential revenue and expense ideas will be on the website. The next
regularly scheduled FINCOM meeting is set tentatively for January 12th but will be cancelled if the
meeting is not needed. The next financial forum is schedule for January 26th.
ADnroval of Minutes:
On a motion by Mr. Greenfield, seconded by Mr. Berman. FINCOM voted 7-0-1 (Ms. Perrv abstainins)
to avnrove the minutes for October 27 2010 as written.
Mr. Fardy summarized the liaison meeting he recently attended with the Board of Library Trustees about
the new library building project. The next library meeting will be on January 4th
On a motion by Mr. Walsh, seconded by Mr. Dockser, FINCOM voted 8-0-0 to adiourn at 9:20 P.M.
