children's books to families in need. Yesterday, on a bitterly cold Sunday evening, hot soup and a
warm fireside welcomed guests who've donated 160 books so far. We're confident we'll meet our goal
11/26/2013 1 9)
Town Manager's Report
Tuesday, November 26, 2013
of 175 books with a few more days to go! This public service project is in its 16th year thanks to the
dedication, generosity, and leadership of the Reading Public Library Children's Room staff. The
beautiful new children's books will be distributed by the Reading Food Pantry to brighten Reading
children's holiday season.
Finance
♦ Assessing — The Tax Classification Hearing will be held at the Selectmen's meeting on December 10th
♦ Treasurer /Collector — Tax Bills will be sent out as soon as possible after the Hearing, probably right
around December 25th
Public Works
♦ Two follow -up survey questions we did after the last BOS meeting:
• Do you have an early payment discount? Only Danvers, Mansfield and a portion of Lynnfield
of the 20 responses we received joined Reading in offering a discount. Eliminating the 10%
discount next year and instead treating these bills like any others in terms of late payments
would be a benefit in terms of both an immediate reduction in the stated rates, and a help in
the Collections process, as currently payments are compressed into a small window just before
the discount expires.
• Do you have a discount for seniors? Mansfield offers a 10% discount; Stoneham offers an
unspecified discount; and Westborough offers a $20 /bill discount. Reading is in the majority in
not offering a discount here, but it is food for thought. I will put together a brief presentation on
billing as part of the January budget meetings.
♦ Weekend Storm — Reading was fortunate to suffer minimal damage. Tree Warden Bob Keating reports
that a few private trees fell onto public sidewalks and streets, and were immediately cleaned up.
♦ Franklin /Main — No news since safety audit completed. Will meet with Town Engineer and acting
District Manager of MassDOT in next few weeks to see what the status is.
♦ Current Projects:
• Howard Street Sewer Replacement - Project ongoing, now 25% complete, contractor completed
work on easterly side of West Street, work continues on westerly side. Work will continue
throughout winter as weather permits.
• West Street Roadway — MWRA completed design in 36" water main for project, MassDOT
reviewing water addition. Current revised advertisement date late Jan. 2014.
• Water Main Projects — Design continues, first contract for main replacement to be bid late winter
following ConsCom approval of Belmont to Ivy cross country portion.
♦ Future Projects to be bid out this winter:
• Washington Park Improvements
• Memorial Lights
• Drainage Projects (late Winter early Spring Bid)
• Howard Street Drain (Con Com required, application pending)
• Walnut Street Drain (Con Com required, application pending))
• High Street Drain (Vine to Dudley)
• Main Street (RR Tracks to Minot St) - (Con Com required)
Public Safety
♦ Forest Street House Fire — On November 22nd a fast - moving 2 -alarm fire heavily damaged a home on
Forest Street, but fortunately the three residents managed to escape in time. The home has been
boarded up and the Fire Marshal's Office is now determining the cause, which is a routine step. Captain
Marchetti was the Officer in Charge, he and his group did a great job.
♦ In conjunction with RCASA and other partners including Reading Public Schools, Middlesex Juvenile
Court, Eliot Community Health Services and Hallmark Health the Reading Police Department submitted
a grant application to the Department of Public Health. This 3 year grant is a police based jail

diversion program for individuals with mental illness. In essence this grant would provide
training for the entire police department to educate in alternatives for people with mental
illness.
♦ On November 19th three Reading Firefighters responded to Ipswich as part of the Essex County
Technical Rescue Team response to rescue a construction worker who was trapped in a trench. The

Subject: Public hearing for Memorial Park Lighting
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed lighting of the skating ponds at Memorial
Park. As the owner of 30 Harrison Street, I am a direct abutter to the park with windows within
50 feet of the proposed lights. This lighting will directly impact my home's privacy and allow
unwanted light in bedrooms during night hours. When I purchased my home I was told the park
was closed dusk to dawn and not used for organized activities. I did not realize that had
changed. Had I known the park would be open after dark, I would have reconsidered the
purchase of the property.
Since taking ownership there have been incidences of vandalism to my property abutting the
park. Allowing night lighting is not only going to allow access to skating but also make the park
more appealing for kids to congregate after dark to hang out. Further, it has been my experience
that there are not more than several weeks, at best, when the ice on the ponds is suitable for
skating. To expend the money for installation and operation of six lights for this short period
seems unfounded. I believe the money could be better spent elsewhere to the benefit of more
residents.
In summation, I want to thank you for allowing me the opportunity to present my opinion to the
Board of Selectman regarding this proposed plan. I wish to go on record as being in opposition
to the lighting of the ponds to allow night skating. I sincerely hope you will not approve this
project.
Regards,
Amy B. Mahoney

When the project commenced in 2007 the Chair signed the regulatory agreement

RE: Amendment to Regulatory Agreement for Johnson. Woods in Reading
Dear Brad,
The Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) has reviewed and approved the final
draft of the Amendment to the Regulatory Agreement for the Local Initiative Program (LIP) development
— Johnson Woods in Reading. This Amendment approves the addition of 127 total units, including 19
affordable units. The original Regulatory Agreement included 166 total units with 17 affordable units.
The sales prices for the 12 new affordable two - bedroom units (and the 6 unsold two - bedroom units from
the previous phase) have been increased from $168,100 to $171,100. The sales price for the 7 new-one-
bedroom units will be $153,100. The marketing for the 19 new units and the 6 unsold units will be in
accordance with the updated Marketing and Lottery Plan approved by DHCD in May 2013.
The locations of two LIP units previously approved have been moved from Building 24 to Building 60 —
the addresses will be 39 Johnson Woods Drive and 169 Johnson Woods Drive.
Because this development will continue to be built out in phases; any future changes in sales prices,
location of units or percentage of beneficial interest must. be reviewed and approved by DHCD and the
Municipality and will require additional amendments to the Regulatory Agreement.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Underage Alcohol Enforcement Report
2013 Summary of Local Alcohol Compliance efforts
Chief James W. Cormier
Reading Police Department
Reading, MA 01867
Following a thorough community needs assessment in 2007, Chief James Cormier, Lt. Richard
Robbins, Executive Officer, and Sgt. Detective Mark Segalla, Criminal Division Commander worked
collaboratively with the Reading Coalition Against Substance Abuse ( RCASA) to secure funds and
resources to improve alcohol compliance. RCASA provided training and funds for the Detective's
Division in 2008 to develop a pilot alcohol compliance project.
Following the success of that project, the Reading Police Department pursued grant funds through
the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety to expand efforts to reduce youth access to
alcohol and increase alcohol compliance efforts from December 2008 - September 2013.
Over six years, Reading Police conducted 153 checks. There were thirteen liquor violations, which
indicate the overall compliance rate is 92 %. The activities described in this report are part of a
larger community initiative to reduce access to alcohol using environmental strategies that share
information, build skills, and change policies.
The Reading Police Department would like to thank the Town Manager and Board of Selectman
for their commitment to alcohol compliance and to the Highway Safety Division, Office of
Grants and Research for the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security in Massachusetts for
grant guidance and funding support.

In 2005, Town Meeting members identified the issue of underage drinking in Reading as
a high priority in Reading, Massachusetts. In 2006, the police chief, town manager,
superintendent, and residents representing 12 community sectors formed the Reading
Coalition Against Substance. Abuse ( RCASA) to combat the pervasiveness of substance
abuse among the citizens of Reading. Since this time, RPD and RCASA have worked
together to identify needs and implement change.
Needs Assessment
The Reading Police worked in partnership with RCASA to conduct a thorough needs
assessment. First, the police department conducted an internal survey of officers about
the issue of underage drinking'. The results indicated that officers spent considerable
time responding to calls related to underage drinking but utilized a variety of tactics to
address these situations.
Police log reports" confirmed there were a significant number of complaints and calls for
service related to underage drinking. From 2008 -2009, officers reviewed internal
policies and protocols with the support of JBS Professional Services and RCASA. They
identified a number of areas needed for training and policy development. This
information inspired a series of professional development opportunities on Alcohol
Compliance, Party Patrols, Shoulder Tap, and Fraudulent IDs.
Other data collected to support the needs assessment included:
✓ Middle and High School Youth Risk Behavior Surveys
✓ PRIDE School Faculty and Parent Surveys
✓ Coalition Survey
✓ Key informant interviews
✓ Focus groups
✓ Trainings /workshop data
✓ Police Data (log reports, calls for service)
✓ Health Data (local Cause of Death data)
✓ EMS (calls for service)
✓ Compliance Surveys for alcohol and tobacco
✓ Environmental Scans
✓ Policy reviews (alcohol, tobacco, police & school protocols)
The School Risk Behavior Surveys for middle and high school students indicated a high
number of youth abuse alcohol and require intervention. The RCASA Data Workgroup
updated the survey on a bi- annual basis and shared results with the community.

In addition to the school policies, Chief James Cormier issued a Zero Tolerance Policy in
2012 for the Reading Police Department regarding juveniles and substance use. This
policy requires officers to document all interactions with juveniles and take issues of
substance use seriously. First time offenders are candidates for the Reading Police
Juvenile Diversion Program. Youth and their parents appear before a Clerk Magistrate.
The Reading Police Prosecutor provides relevant information on their infraction. If
youth agree to complete court - required conditions including the education class,
community service and an essay, they will not have a record of their offense.
RCASA staff launched the education class for school violations and diversion in October
of 2012. The class is offered monthly. Background material for the program was drawn
from "Alternate Routes: An Alcohol Diversion Program'" and the "Creating Lasting
Family Connections Program": Since the program started, we have served 77 youth.

Youth who receive a School Chemical Health Violation and Court Diversion Contract are
only required to take the educational course once. Together with our Alcohol
Compliance work, these policies and program represent a change in how our
community holds young people accountable for underage drinking and related
violations. The 2013 Reading Youth Risk Behavior Survey results showed significant
progress regarding underage drinking.

Training & Compliance Operations
From 2008 -2013, the Reading Police Department carried out alcohol compliance
operations with the support of funds from the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney
General and the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security. These
operations would not have been possible without the support of a comprehensive
training plan involving key stakeholders. Following alcohol compliance training,
detectives conducted a.series of operations. Violations were referred to the Reading
Board of Selectman"'. Public hearings were conducted. The LLA administered violations
in all cases referred by police.
For this grant year, RCASA conducted training on underage drinking prevention and
youth risk behavior for new officers. Additionally, officers received training from the
Chief of Police on documenting juvenile incidents related to substance use or abuse,
particularly underage drinking.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION
LICENSING OPTIONS
Chief James Cormier
Reading Police Department
15 Union Street
Reading, MA 01867
Chief Cormier,
January 24, 2013
As directed -by your Office and in accordance with Reading Police Department Policy and
Procedures, I have placed together an executive summary of background investigation options
for Class II and III motor vehicle licenses, peddler licenses, taxi/vehicle for hire licenses and
second hand dealer licenses.
Option 1
The Board of Selectmen (BOS) can ask the Police Department to conduct and internal record
check. The PD can do an in -house record check which will give the selectmen information on
any issues that have occurred within the Town of Reading. This is a very limited review of the
applicants.
Option 2
The BOS can apply Option 1 and also have the Town's Personnel Director run a limited Board
of Probation check thru the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services. The check
done by the HR director would not be as inclusive as the Police Department check. The BOS
could request that the applicant provide a copy of their Driver's History (if necessary) and/or
Board of Probation history.
Option 3
The BOS can apply Option 2 and also have the Police Department run the applicants fingerprints
through the Civil Fingerprinting bylaw for a fee set by the BOS, $30 which has to be given to the
State. This will give a nationwide check based on fingerprints for any criminal activity that is
supported by fingerprints. The Police Department can also apply Option 1 and run a check in
their In -House computer system to see if the licensee has any involvement with the Police in this
Town.
(99
�L1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION
Option 4
The BOS can designate the Chief of Police as the License Authority and the Police Department
can run a complete background on the licensee. This would include conducting the Civil
Fingerprinting per bylaw for a fee. The Police Department will also run a complete Board of
Probation Check and the In -House computer check.
The Chief of Police already has the authority to run Liquor License applicants due to the fact of
being designated an agent of the License Authority by the BOS.
Enclosed, please find copies of relevant Selectmen's Policies and Town By -Laws. There is also
a list of all licenses relevant to this issue. Please let me know if you need any further
information.
Respectfully Submitted,

MEMORANDUM
To: Town Manager Peter I. Hechenbleikner
From: Chief James Cormier
Date: 01/14/2013
Re: BOS inquiry on Class 2 & 3 M/V Dealers License
Peter,
During the Selectmen's meeting of Tuesday January 8, 2013 we had discussion with the Board
of Selectmen regarding Class 2 and 3 M/V Dealers background checks. The Board requested
Information on what the surrounding towns are doing in relationship to the discussion and
whether or not we are being duplicitous in our background recommendations with that of the
Registry of Motor Vehicles.
As was requested, I spoke with Chiefs of Police from all the contiguous communities regarding
this topic. Of the six contiguous communities, 3 have the civil fingerprint bylaw in effect, 2 are
In the process of implementing it, and one will explore it at some time but has no immediate
timeframe. So, five of the six will have brought it for review in the very near future. In five of
the six communities the BOS is the Licensing Authority for the Class 2 and 3 M/V licenses, in one
it's the city clerk.
In terms of doing criminal background checks, all the Chiefs indicate they believe the Class 2
and 3 M/V dealers to be under the category of dealers of second hand articles. in one
community, the HR Director does the Board of Probation checks (in this case the HR director
could make and assessment of suitability but I don't believe they could share the background
check with the Board unless they- are CORI certified), in two communities the Police
Departments provide information to the Licensing Authority, and in two other communities
(;�), 5f,3
they follow the civil fingerprint bylaw (in one of those two, its only for new applicants, not
renewals), and in the final community, the Police Department provides only an in -house record
check. The Chiefs who are in process of moving the civil fingerprint bylaw forward would be
recommending that it be used for this purpose to their respective Licensing Authorities.
I am still pursing definitive information from the Registry of Motor Vehicles regarding their
process. I do not believe they do record checks prior to issuing repair /dealer plates. I will
continue to try to confirm this information.

obtaining criminal history information, to see if there have been any updates to be
sure the Town remains in compliance.

the fingerprints and the appropriate fee, the Police Department shall transmit the
fingerprints it has obtained pursuant to this by -law to the Identification Section of the

suitability in making this determination.
