Subject: RE Fin Com Library Budget rUa
Hi Ruth,
As I mentioned yesterday, I agree with some and disagree with others of these expenses.
The agreement comes in two items for $2,790 that are unique to the Library and should be
purchased through your budget. These items are similar in that sense to the $55,000 annual
charge for NOBLE software:
• Library Insight museum & room booking software $1,500
• Bookletters(website booklist service) $1,290
The disagreement comes on $1,205 of these technology requests that is either redundant to
existing shared technology or mutual to the requests of other Town departments and should
be properly funded through the Finance /Technology budget. Every Town department has a
technology wish list that is far greater than that budget, and the Library should stand in
the exact same line. As we are integrating shared systems it is vital that the
responsibility and control for these systems be centralized in the Technology division:
• Survey Monkey $300
• Digital Commonwealth Membership(Digital scan /storage) $100
• Flickr (Photo storage and web display) $25
• Text a Librarian (Communication software mobile) $780
I will print up this memo & my response to share with FINCOM tonight in your absence.
Thanks,
Bob

Subject: Fin Com Library Budget
Hi Paula ^D
1 /
Bob and I have corresponded a few times about the Library's FY 2013 budget request and I
wanted to send you the information I've given to Bob for consideration this evening if
there is discussion about budget items that weren't in the Town Manager's budget.
Here's a list of the software and licenses that the library requested to be added to the
library's FY2013 budget:
Library Licenses & Online Service contracts
Library Insight museum & room booking software $1,500
Survey Monkey $300
Digital Commonwealth Membership (Digital scan /storage) $100
Bookletters (website booklist service) $1,290
Flickr (Photo storage and web display) $25
Text a Librarian (Communication software mobile)
$780
Total $3,995
As you may recall, these items were discussed by the Trustees at their November meeting
that you attended and the Trustees wanted this growing category of expenses to be included
in the budget request. It is not in the Town Manager's recommended budget.
For FY 2012,in case the subject of transfer requests is on your agenda, the library is
requesting additional $3000 in salary funding to cover a three -week overlap for a
retirement. I'll forward an explanation of the details of the position separately..
Thanks Paula.
Would you please acknowledge that you've received this message today as I can't attend the
meeting tonight and will print this for you if you don't receive it email today.
Thanks
Ruth

I believe Joe has begun his medical leave. Last Friday he had a contractor come in to look at the floor to
estimate the cost of concrete repairs and epoxy coating. It is recommended the existing epoxy coating be
removed and a new coating applied. The epoxy coating is important to prevent water and salt penetration of the
floor and the existing coating has exceeded its life span. Based upon a discussion I had with Joe on Friday he is
estimating the cost of the repairs as follows:
Engineering 5,000

To: Burns, Greg; Huggins, Joe; Delai, Mary
Cc: Hechenbleikner, Peter
Subject: Fire House repairs
I know Joe is eagerly awaiting his new knees, but a question for the group:
The Main Fire Station floor repair is proposed as an FY13 capital project. Last week for FINCOM we (Peter) showed it as
a $100,000 total project with the details as $17,500 for welding; $2,000 for radar; $4,000 for architecture and unknown for
epoxy or other repairs. The $100,000 was a placeholder meant to overstate the total cost.
Do you have updated or more complete cost estimates? I will need this in advance of the 3/28 meeting when FINCOM
votes the budget.
Thanks,
Bob'

April 23, 2012 Annual Town Meeting 9
Report on the Warrant
TO: Board of Selectmen
From: Peter I. Hechenbleikner, Town Manager
Date: Wednesday, March 28, 2012
Re: AHTF Housing Allocation Plan
Chapter 140 of the Acts of 2001 authorized the Town of Reading to establish an Affordable Housing Trust
Fund (AHTF).
♦ "The Town of Reading may establish a separate fund to be known as the Affordable Housing Trust
Fund for the purpose of creating or preserving affordable housing ... for the purpose of creating,
maintaining or operating affordable housing."
♦ The AHTF may "develop new or rehabilitate existing dwelling units for purchase or rental by low and
moderate income housing purchasers or tenants;"
♦ "Expenditures shall follow an allocation plan submitted by the Board of Selectmen annually to Town
Meeting at the Annual Town Meeting, and approved by Town Meeting."
♦ "all expenditures from the fund.... shall be in accordance with the allocation plan and approved by a
majority vote of the full combined memberships of the Board of Selectmen and the Reading Housing
Authority."
The purpose of the Affordable Housing Allocation Plan is to provide a framework for the Town to expend funds
on affordable housing. The current balance is $ 259,077. Funds have been accumulated over the years as
funds secured for the purpose by the CPDC, and funds deposited in one instance when an existing affordable
unit was no longer able to be kept affordable after efforts were made to do so. There are no Town generated
funds in the AHTF. The only expenditure to date from the AHTF is an amount of $200,000 for Oaktree
development to provide an additional 3 affordable housing units. That sum is in escrow and by the fall of 2012
the Town will know whether any or all of it has been utilized. Pending that information, the Board of Selectmen
has indicated that in the fall of 2012 it may ask to transfer funds from the 40R payments to the Affordable
Housing Trust Fund.
Under Article 6 of the 2012 Annual Town Meeting, approval was received for hiring a consultant to update the
Town's Housing Plan, including the 5 year "Housing Production Plan". This work was also included in the
Town Manager's 2012 goals.
This effort is important as a defense against unfriendly 40B developments in the community, and requires the
Town to develop a phased plan to produce housing to reach the 10% threshold as required by the 40B statute.
As part of these planning efforts, the Town will evaluate how the AHTF can best be used to support the
"Planned Production" goals of the Housing Plan, and it is expected that at the next Annual Town Meeting the
Affordable Housing Allocation Plan will be fleshed out in better detail, although it is important that the plan
remain as flexible as possible to enable the Town to respond to opportunities as they arise.
An additional initiative that is being considered is to join a regional consortium which would assist the member
communities in monitoring and administering the Town's responsibilities for the various affordable housing
developments that exist and will be developed in the future, to maintain the affordable units that the Town has
worked so hard to create. This would be a potential use of the "Administrative" monies designated by the
Affordable housing'Allocation Plan.

Affordable Housing Allocation Plan
May 5, 2011
Pursuant to Article 24 of the 2011 Annual Town Meeting, an Affordable Housing Trust Fund Allocation Plan for
the Fiscal Year 2012 in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 140 of the Acts of 2001 is as follows:
Available Balance — Unrestricted Funds: $458,017.68
Available Balance — Restricted Funds $ 0
Unrestricted funds shall be used for the following purposes:
99% for constructing affordable housing (including loan and grant programs); or for maintaining and
improving affordability of existing housing stock; or for the purchase of existing housing stock to add it
to or maintain it as a part of the existing affordable housing inventory
1 % for administration of the Affordable Housing Trust Fund
Until the Housing Plan is completed for consideration in the 2013 Annual Town Meeting approval of
the AHTF Housing Allocation Plan, , I would recommend that the Board of Selectmen adopt the
following allocation plan, which would also provide adequate funding for Reading's involvement of the
regional consortium as noted above.

Benefits
Retirement ($3,653,385; +17.9 %): The Retirement Board voted
an increase of +3.9% to the $3.13 million annual contribution
required. The Town's self - insured portion has declined to
$67,500; a $15,000 expense pays the annual fees associated with
seasonal and part-time employees' recent shift from social
security to a 403(b) plan; and $25,000 is set aside as every two
years the Town is required to conduct an update of the Other Post
Employment Benefits (OPEB) liability.
This budget includes a contribution of $420,000 to fund OPEB,
on the heels of an expected contribution of $500,000 from surplus
FY12 funds at the April 2012 Annual Town Meeting. While this
is well below the needed annual contribution of over $1.7 million,
it is important to begin to fund this obligation, and to signal to the
-�
Auditors and bond rating agencies that the Town takes the OPEB
liability seriously. A longer term plan to increase this funding will
occur as the pension liability becomes fully funded, or sooner if it
becomes required by law.
Worker Compensation ($341,250; +5.0 %): An estimated 5%
increase is projected as of early January 2012. Further
adjustments will arise during the budget process.
Unemployment Compensation ($120,000; - 20.0 %): Less of an
unemployment liability developed from the budget reductions of
FY12, and no significant further staff reductions are planned in
FY13.
Health & Life Insurance ($8,475,000; - 1.0 %): Late last spring
management negotiated several plan design changes with all
unions from the Town, School and Light departments, resulting in
higher out of,pocket expenses for employees and retirees but
lower insurance premium costs. This continued a multi -year trend
of benefit changes made in an attempt to contain health insurance
costs. A portion of the FYI savings to fund OPEB is proposed as
mentioned previously.
Beginning in the fall of 2011 the Town conducted an extensive
bid process for heath insurance, and the results were very
favorable — but still confidential in the details due to ongoing
negotiations with the unions. An independent consultant hired to
conduct this bid process cited the outstanding results as directly
attributable to the excellent management/labor relationship and
the prudent financial oversight by the Town.
Medicare ($675,000; +3.8 %): After a long history of
underfunding this difficult to forecast expense, the MUNIS
system was instrumental in properly projecting this beginning in
FY10. As predicted last year, the annual rate of increase of this
line item has slowed due to ongoing demographic shifts in the
workforce.
Indemnification ($65,000; +8.3 %): Police & Fire on duty injury
related expenses can vary widely in this line item. Each year the
budget is increased in order to be conservative.

Capital
A recap of FYI capital funding shows:
$948,000 voted by April 2011 Town Meeting
+ $139,500 voted by November 2011 TM
+ $144,000 requested at April 2012 TM
+ $331,000 requested at April 2012 TM (40R funds)
$1,562,500
The target baseline capital spending per FINCOM policy for
FYI is $1,593,358 (includes $300,000 due to energy savings).
This total is noticeably higher than the April 2011 funding above
because of a drop in FY 13 debt service.
The proposed FY13 capital spending is $1,937,700 — an amount
higher than suggested by FINCOM because of the use of some
additional one -time OR Smart Growth Stabilization funds.
Following is a summary of the proposed in FY 13 capital:
Capital Funding Sources:
$250,000 from the sale of real estate (fund expected to be fully
drawn down by FYI unless replenished by land sales);
$367,000 from the 40R Smart Growth Stabilization (fund
expected to show a $180,000 balance after a four -year spending
plan is completed in FYI 5);
$1,320,700 from the general fund.
Capital Projects:
$168,000 for Town Facilities: $100,000 DPW cemetery building
design; $58,000 for Main St. Fire Station floor repairs; $10,000
windows and doors at the Senior Center;
$12,000 for School Facilities: for HVAC systems at Parker;
$517,000 for the School Department; $400,000 for possible
modular classrooms; $75,000 for network technology projects;
$42,000 to replace a 1999 pickup truck;
$36,000 for the Fire department to replace a 1996 pickup truck;
$1,204,700 for Public Works: $730,000 for road repairs (an
additional $600,000 of Chapter 90 grant funds is expected to
further increase the total FY13 road repair budget); $135,000 to
replace a 1995 sidewalk snow blower; $88,000 in general curb
and sidewalk repairs for pedestrian safety; $63,000 to replace a
1993 dump truck in the cemetery division; $48,700 to replace a
Parks division Tractor of indeterminate age; $45,000 for the
Sturges Park playground; $30,000 for DPW fence replacement;
$28,000 to replace a 1993 Toro Leaf -Vac; $20,000 for
engineering survey equipment and $17,000 to replace a 1995
cemetery mower.
Debt
In March 2012 the Town saved almost $5 million in total debt
service between FY13 and FY25 by taking advantage of low
interest rates and refinancing some old debt. About $0.5 million
was saved on behalf of the Massachusetts School Building
Authority; another $450,000 was saved inside the tax levy and is
available for town capital projects; and $3.9 million was saved for
taxpayers outside the tax levy.
Inside the tax levy $2.28 million (- $964k from FY12)
The Town negotiated a lump sum settlement from the MSBA for
the remainder of their share of Coolidge MS debt and then used
that to reduce the amount outstanding in a newly refinanced debt
issue. The net result in FY13 was a loss of $462,000 in MSBA
revenue and a reduction of $577,000 in debt service for a net gain
of $115,000. In FY14 debt 'service on a $1.5 million cemetery
garage is scheduled to begin, and in FYI debt service on a $1.5
million DPW building is scheduled to begin.
Excluded from the tax levy $2.26 million ( -$534k from FY12)
Total savings of $3.86 million for taxpayers will be realized
between FY14 and FY25 due to the refinancing. Future large
projects considered as debt exclusions include the Public Library
renovation ($7 million town share) and the K_illam Elementary
School renovation ($3 million town share).
Regional Vocational Schools
A sharp decrease (from 23 students to 16 students) at the
Northeast Vocational school results in a 26% reduction in that
budget. Based upon final enrollment at Minuteman the FY12
budget was overfunded, so this item is reduced 16% for FY13.
State Assessments
Town Meeting does not vote on these charges, they are deducted
from any State Aid payments the Town receives. The FY13
budget uses the figures from the Governor's budget released in
January 2012. Here are some details:
MBTA ($522,885 +10.7 %) To maintain and operate regional
public transportation for services rendered to communities within
the Authority. Assessments are apportioned based on weighted
population shares of the MBTA district, using data from the
7/1/04 U.S. census estimates.
Education ($65,453 - 23.2 %)
Charter School Tuition ($42,978) to pay for students that attend a
charter school district. Assessments use October 1s` enrollment
plus expected growth, and are finalized using April 151 data;
Essex Agricultural School ($12,475) one student chose to attend
this school instead of one of the vocational schools listed above;
School Choice Tuition ($10,000) to pay for students attending
another school district under School Choice. Assessments are
based on October I" enrollments and updated on April 15';
Special Education Assessments (none) to partially reimburse the
state for students enrolled in state hospital schools. Assessments
are based on full -time equivalency in special education programs
from the previous year.
Registry of Motor Vehicles Surcharge ($13,260 -5.2 %) to
reimburse the RMV for marking a license or registration for non -
renewal due to non - payment of parking violations, excise taxes,
and abandoned vehicle costs. Assessments are based on prior year
actual expenses.
Metropolitan Area Planning Council ($7,796 +9.0 %) to promote
urban planning and to respond to common urban problems of
Boston and surrounding communities. Assessments are
determined by 2004 population.
Air Pollution Districts ($7,685 +5.5 %) to pay for the costs
incurred by the Department of Environmental Protection in
monitoring air pollution levels and enforcing air quality standards
at industrial, commercial and institutional facilities. Assessments
are determined 50% by 2004 population and 50% by 2004
community assessed values.
