Town Clerks counter and the Town Clerk would let him leave the flyers there. The Town Manager
noted they were political in nature and if he wanted to leave them at Town Hall they could be left on the
bulletin board inside the Town Hall front door foyer.
Marsie West suggested that Mr. Ryan hand them out at the Senior Center tomorrow night during the
Financial Forum because those are the people who will care about the information.

authorization for the local share of costs. Depending on what the State requires, these costs will be
close to the$600k we have budgeted.
Road Improvements
♦ All paving for our spnng/summer round is complete (20 streets approx. $1.6M)ll The contractor
should finish the loam and seeding of roadway edges where required and a couple of remaining
driveway aprons this week. Traffic markings will be installed on Oakland Road by mid-week.
♦ We will be opening bids for our second round of paving and crack sealing the second week of
September. We had to delay until we knew how much money we would get from Chapter 90—the
latest figure is about $600k, which is well below the Governor's initial $900k figure, but in line
with recent history. It is possible more Chapter 90 funding will be freed up during the fiscal year-
we will wait to bid micro-seal work until winter/spring.
Discussion/Action Items
Hearing — Review and Adopt Traffic Rules and Regulations — The Secretary read the hearing notice.
Police Chief James Cormier and Officer Justin Martel were present. The Town Manager noted that the
Board of Selectmen Minutes–August 20 2013 –page 4
intent of the project was not to make changes, but to make it more user friendly. Inconsistencies were
found and the changes will bring in line with votes already taken. Orienting the regulations by street is
much easier
Marsie West noted that there are no stop signs on Rustic at Beaver or Scotland at Summer. Chief
Cormier noted that it was in the current regulations but the signs were never put up.
Officer Martel noted that there are heavy vehicle exclusion signs that were never approved by the state
so they have to be taken down. Marsie West noted that it makes sense to remove signs but it doesn't
make sense to put up a stop sign that was never put up.
Officer Martel noted that Section 11.1 indicates that all old votes are carried forward into the new
regulations. The Town Clerk will be the keeper of the record and will do the renumbering. Changes are
listed in the Briefing Package that is attached to these minutes. Officer Martel noted that there are four
additional amendments on page 47 of tonight's handout and are as follows:
•On page 15 under Article 5.4.IA, insert"for a period longer than one hundred twenty minutes
after the word"Fridays."
•On page 31 under Article 10.I11,replace the language"Articles 5.4.4E and 5.4.6"with"Article
5.4.6."
•On page 33 under Article 11.4,replace the language"numbering and organization"with
"numbering,organization, and typographical characteristics."
• On page 114 under Appendix 5,strike the language"Old Sanborn Lane-15 MPH"because it
was not approved by the state.
Marsie West suggested that Section 10.IA regarding$20 fines for certain panting violations say that"all
parking fines will be $20 except as noted below in Sections 10.IB-E," instead of listing each one.
Officer Martel agreed and noted this will be included as the 51h amendment tonight.
Daniel Ensminger noted that the no parking at comer sign on Temple Street at Woburn is in the wrong
location and James Bonazoli noted that it is not a good use of the Police or Engineering to be out
measuring. Chief Cormier noted that the intent is to get the document approved and if the Board wants
to add or eliminate then hold hearings and notify the neighborhoods.
Everett Blodgett noted that seven years ago Sally Hoyt went through a huge process of heavy vehicle
exclusion on West Street and he asked if there are any others in town. Officer Martel noted there is a list
in Appendix 4.
Donnan Eames, I I Bancroft Street, asked if Bancroft Street is still heavy vehicle exclusion because
there is no sign Chief Cormier indicated it is. -
Board of Selectmen Minutes—August 20 2013 —nage 5
Ann Ward, a.resident of Bancroft Avenue noted that the packet indicates it is being deleted. Officer
j_ Martel noted that is an inconsistency and he will add that from Lowell to Woburn on Bancroft Avenue
from 9:00 p.m.to 7:00 a.m.but he wants to investigate this first to make sure the state approved it.
The Town Manager indicated Bancroft Avenue heavy vehicle exclusion will be added as the 6's
amendment made tonight.
A motion by Tafova seconded by West to close the hearing adopting the Traffic Rules and
Regulations dated August 20 2013 was approved by a vote of 5-0-0.
A motion by Tafova seconded by West to approve the revised Town of Reading Traffic Rules and
Re ulations dated August 20 2013 to include revisions as listed in the two nage Briefing Package
and the additional six amendments as indicated in these minutes,was approved by a vote of 5-0-0.
Close Special Town Meeting Warrant— The Town Manager noted that Article 5 is related to retirees'
benefits. Article 6 is for a debt exclusion for the Woburn Street School which is the topic of the
Financial Forum tomorrow evening and it will be decided then whether to move forward with the
project. Town Counsel Gary Brackett noted that the Board can close the Warrant tonight and can make
a motion tomorrow night to cancel the Special Town Meeting, if need be, as long as the Warrant has not
been posted.
A motion by Tafova seconded by West to close the Warrant consisting of six Articles for the
Special Town Meeting to take place on September 16 2013 at the Reading Memorial High School
Performing Arts Center 62 Oakland Road at 730 p.m.was approved by a vote of 5-0-0.
Hearing Adopt Policy Establishing Ad Hoc Zoning AdvisoryCommittee — The Secretary read the
hearing notice. There being people present for other agenda items and no one present for this
hearing a motion by Ensminger seconded by West to continue the hearing to a time set by the
Chairman was approved by a vote of 5-" Chairman James Bonazoli noted the hearing will be
continued until 9:15 p.m. A motion by Ensmineer seconded by West to reconvene the hearing on
the Ad Hoc Zoning Advisory Committee at 9.15 p.m.was approved by a vote of 5-".
James Bonazoli noted that the previous discussion by CPDC was they wanted more members but the
Selectmen did not want a quorum of CPDC on the committee.
Ben Tafoya noted that the goal is to put the Zoning Bylaws into a better format and to simplify. If the
Board wants to make major changes then they need a different policy.
Marsie West noted it is not a straight recodification without addressing certain issues. There will be no
change in land use but this will address issues that cause bottlenecks.
Ben Tafoya noted we are not changing the zoning map.
The Town Manager noted that the goal is to simplify and organize. There will be 20 — 30 public
imeetings so there is an opportunity to get feedback.
'Board of Selectmen Minutes—August 20 2013 —page 6
Ben Tafoya noted that the overlay districts have never been used so will they be changed during this
process? The Town Manager indicated they will not.
John Arena indicated he would like to see exceptions.
A motion by Ensminger seconded by Tafova to close the hearing on adopting the policy
establishing an Ad Hoc Zoning Advisory Committee was approved by a vote of 5-0-0.
A motion by Tafoya seconded by West to approve the policy establishing an Ad Hoc Zoning
Advisory Committee was approved by a vote of 5-0-Om
Set Liguor License Fees for CY14—The consensus of the Board was not to change the liquor fees.
A motion by Ensminger seconded by Tafoya that the Board of Selectmen set the liquor.license fees
for CY14 as follows:
Liquor Fees All Alcohol Wine/Malt Package Store ' Clubs
Restaurant Restaurant
CY2014 $3700 $2700 $2500 $1300
The motion was approved by a vote of 5-0-0.
Paint and Sip Beer and Wine License—James Bonazoli noted that there was discussion some time ago
about a Paint and Sip business that offers beer and wine and that would require a liquor license. The
problem is that the Board of Selectmen policy requires food be served.
Town Counsel Gary Brackett noted that he spoke with the City of Newton and they had reservations so
the commission required food service be provided and contracted through a caterer. They also put time
restrictions, restrictions on amount of drinks, price and liquor.only available for people attending the
session. Judy Barolak's proposal is to have no food. This would set a precedent and he recommends
considering whether the Selectmen want to offer this type of license and do a survey. The Selectmen
would also have to decide what type of regulations they would want and after doing the study adopt as a
policy and issue on a license by license basis.
Police Chief James Cormier noted that it would be a cumbersome task to take on license by license. He
noted that the Board previously set food requirements and he would strongly recommend the Board do
research.
Marsie West noted she went to a paint and sip and there is no time to eat and drink. She suggests
checking with Newton and see if they are actually eating.
John Arena noted that alcohol is secondary to the intent of the establishment and it would be worth
doing the study.
The Town Manager noted that paint and sip is popular in other states but not so much in Massachusetts.
Board of Selectmen Minutes—August 20 2013 —nape 7
John Arena asked if it is possible to restrict just to paint and sip and Town Counsel indicated it could be
challenged.
Judy Barolak noted that the paint and sip in Newton does not serve food. .They have prepackaged
snacks. There is no mention or offering of food and if you ask about food they suggest restaurants in the
area. There are also some paint and sips in Boston. Others are bring your own booze and some are
located within all alcohol restaurants and some are beer and wine with prepackaged snacks. Ms.
Barolak noted that Newton has been doing this for three years and they created this license for this one
premise.
James Bonazoli noted that he loves creativity but has issues with setting a precedent. He feels a study
would be worthwhile. He suggested surveying both in Massachusetts and outside of Massachusetts.
Ms. Barolak asked if she served food if it had to be hot. Ben Tafoya noted that the Board has softened
the policies over the years but it was always an amenity for restaurants. The intent is to have a full
service restaurant and he has a problem trying to get around it. Ben Tafoya indicated he would like to
see Newton's regulations.
John Arena indicated he would like to know what other towns have done for non-restaurant situations.
Marsie West asked about bring your own booze and Town Counsel indicated it is not allowed.
1 Aberiona River and Saugus River Drainage Studv — Town Engineer George Zambouras noted that in
2010 a study was done of the Aberjona and Saugus Rivers. It evaluated the existing conditions;
recommended improvements and developed an implementation schedule. The Minot Street area has
been added due to flooding.
A report was made to the Board of Selectmen in July 2012. He has met with the consultant and they
have a good accurate model. There will be a presentation to the Board in November and he needs to
know if the Board wants to invite the Conservation Commission to the presentation. The consensus of
the Board was to invite the Conservation Commission.
Daniel Ensminger asked about the Aberjona area and Mr. Zambou ms noted it covdrs mostly the Bond
Street area due to flooding and surcharging.
Saugus River issue is that the Track Road and Line Road bridge is unsafe for fire apparatus.
Discuss DPW and Cemetery Garage Sites — The Town Manager noted that several years ago the
cemetery garage and cold storage came under the CJP Plan for $500,000. Currently there is $1.50
million for cemetery and $1.50 million for the DPW Garage. The funding is through Facilities. The
School Department cancelled $100,000 for the cemetery project because there was no contract in place
even though there had been three months of contract negotiations. The Department of Revenue has
determined that the Town Accountant has the liberty to move forward finds if Town Meeting has
- approved them and the project is moving forward.
Board of Selectmen Minutes—August 20 2013—page 8
James Bonazoli noted that the Board of Selectmen did site visits of the cemeteries years ago. RFP's
were sent out and we selected a firm.
Town Engineer George Zamboums noted that the existing cemetery garage is over 100 years old and has
structural issues. The cemeteries,property at Pearl and Audubon and the compost site were looked at as
possible sites for the cemetery garage. Two sites, Laurel Bill and Forest Glen, were chosen for further
analysis and the Town issued an RFP. The consultant will do a space needs study and then the Board of
Selectmen and
Cemetery Board will make a decision then do a RFP ford design.
DPW Garage— George Zambouras noted that the current use is 5.9 acres. The original John Street site
was 15 acres and used sites at the landfill and the Nike site. The current site deficiencies to address
include security, safety, parking expansion, and improve vehicle maintenance area and public access.
The previous study said the minimum area needed was six acres.
George Zambouras noted there are currently two RFP's —one for the cemetery garage and one for the
DPW garage that will analyze for planned improvements and up to three sites for all DPW functions
including administration,Engineering and cemetery.
The Town Manager noted that staff has looked at the industrial zone at the Reading Municipal Light
Department and he suggests talking with the RMLD.
Daniel Ensminger suggested expanding where the DPW garage is now but later realized that there is
other properties in between that doesn't make expansion possible.
The Town Engineer reviewed maps of possible Town and State owned property sites as well as privately
owned sites.
Marsie West asked how much of environmental issue is there for both the Town and State. George
Zambouras noted the environmental issue is a defined limit of a 100 year flood.
Cemetery Director Bob Keating noted that it is more efficient to have cemetery maintenance at a
cemetery. All of the cemeteries are located in the center of Town and east. He noted that 99% of all
cemeteries operate that way.
Cemetery Board Trustee Bill Brown noted that he cemetery was an orphan until 1986 and he feels the
garage should remain at the cemetery.
The consensus of the Board was to move ahead with Task 3.
