The classification amendment allows the board to consider several options that will be explained further along in this handout. Also, the decision of the board for each of the options must be submitted to the state's Department of Revenue on form LA -5. The options presented for consideration are: • Selection of a Minimum Residential Factor • Selection of a discount for Open Space • Granting of a Residential and / or Small Commercial Exemption Selection of a Residential Factor The Board of Selectmen has the option of selecting a factor of `1' which in effect would adopt a single tax rate for all residential, commercial, industrial and personal property classes instead of shifting some of the tax burden off of the residential class and onto the CIP class. If a factor of `1' were to be adopted, the single tax rate for all classes of property would be $14.71. This rate is determined by dividing the tax levy by the total value of all taxable property in Reading and then multiplying that result by 1000. $3,999,637,753 / $58,829,894 = .01471 x 1000 = $14.71 Chapter 200 In accordance with the provisions of MGL Chapter 200, The Board of Selectmen can choose to split the tax rate by shifting some of the tax burden from the residential class to the CIP classes of property. This results in a lower residential tax rate and a higher rate for the CIP sector. In choosing to split the tax rate, the board must remain cognizant of two important limitations contained within Chapter 200: 1) The residential share of the tax burden cannot fall below 50% of their tax burden prior to shifting, and 2) The CIP sector cannot absorb more than 150% of their tax burden prior to the shift. Historically, Reading has never adopted a split tax rate. a gau Selection of a Discount for Open Space: Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 59, section 2A defines class 2 open space as: "land which is not otherwise classified and which is not taxable under provisions of Chapters 61 A or 61 B, or taxable under a permanent conservation restriction, and which land is not held for the production of income but is maintained in an open or natural condition and which contributes significantly to the benefit and enjoyment of the public." A maximum exemption of 25% may be adopted for all property that is classified as Open Space under this definition. The Town has never voted a discount for open space since no properties have been identified which fulfill the requirements of this section. Granting a Residential and /or Small Commercial Exemption: Residential: The Board of Selectmen may adopt a residential exemption for all residential properties in the town that are owner occupied. The exemption amount could be up to 20% of the average assessed value of all eligible properties to be taxed at the residential tax rate, including vacant parcels as part of the total parcel count. Although the thought of granting a residential exemption to owner occupied residential properties appears to be a form of tax relief, it is not the case here in Reading. It is true that some properties would receive tax relief through the adoption of this measure, however, since the tax levy remains the same and the tax shift is only among the residential class, the overall residential tax rate would increase substantially to compensate for this form of tax relief. In our case for FY2015, the residential tax rate would rise from $14.71 to an estimated $17.82 According to the mechanics of this exemption, the tax burden for those owner occupied properties below the break -even point would be decreased. For all other residential properties, the tax burden would significantly increase. This includes all non -owner occupied residential properties and vacant residential land, as well as owner occupied properties above the break -even point since the exemption is deducted after the application of the much higher residential tax rate. Additionally, more assessing staff would be needed to accomplish the implementation and maintenance of this exemption program. The residential exemption had been adopted by only a handful of communities in the Commonwealth including Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea and Brookline and had never been adopted in Reading. In summation, adoption of a residential exemption will significantly raise the residential tax rate while providing a benefit ONLY to those properties below the break -even point. 10, sak-l." Commercial: An exemption of up to 10% of the property valuation can be granted to commercial, not industrial or personal, properties that meet the requirements set forth under the law. To qualify, eligible businesses must have occupied the property as of January 1, 2014 and must have had no more than 10 employees as certified by the Department of Employment and Training during the previous calendar year and the building must have a valuation of less than $1,000,000. A business which is just one of several businesses within a commercial building would not be eligible for an exemption unless every business in that property qualified as well. Similar to the residential exemption, the tax levy does not change and the exemption is borne within the commercial class resulting in and overall increase of the CIP tax rate. The assessing department is aware of only a handful of qualifying business properties in Reading.

John Halsey noted that he attended a Board of health meeting and strategic planning. They are looking back on tobacco 21 and urging other towns to do the same. They received information on ticks and the information will be posted on the website. The Recreation Committee invited him to participate in updating the Birch Meadow Plan. The Recreation Committee also invited him to look at an indoor facility that hosts lacrosse in Wilmington and he will pass the information along to the Board. RCASA is hosting an Opiate Forum on October 23. Town Manager's Report - The Town Manager noted that the Finance Committee met and took a two year look at 2% each year. There will be further information at the Financial Forum. The Board of Assessors wants to know if the Selectmen want to do a preview of the tax classification on October 28th and the hearing on November 18 or just do the hearing on October 28th. They should be able to get the information to the Board on October 23rd to hold the hearing on October 28th. The consensus of the Board was to hold the hearing on October 28th if the material is ready by October 23rd. Personnel and Appointments Badge Pinning - Police Chief James Cormier noted these are newly hired and promoted officers as of July 1, 2014. There are eight badge pinnings this evening for two new officers and six promotions. He reviewed each of their credentials. _ Page 1 1 Board of Selectmen Minutes - October 14, 2014 - page 2 Officer Kaylen Gooley was pinned by her parents; Officer Matthew Orr was pinned by his wife; Sgt. Corey Santasky was pinned by his wife; Sgt. Christine Amendola was pinned by her husband; Sgt. Patrick Silva was pinned by his wife and daughter; Sgt. Christopher Jones was pinned by his wife; Lt. David Clark was pinned by his sons and Lt. Richard Abate was pinned by his daughters. Chairman John Arena thanked everyone fo impressed with the credentials of the officers. to be able to hire officers who are the "cream Civil Service. being present and indicated he was very He commented on how fortunate the Town is of the crop" because we are no longer part of Conservation Commission - Daniel Ensminger noted that the Volunteer Appointment Subcommittee met and interviewed Rebecca Longley for a position on the Conservation Commission. She is a former member of the Commission. A motion by Ensminger seconded by West that the Board of Selectmen confirm the Volunteer Appointment Subcommittee's recommendation to appoint Rebecca Longley to a position on the Conservation Commission with a term expiring June 30, 2017 was approved by a vote of 5 -0 -0. Recreation Committee - Daniel Ensminger noted that Mary Ellen Stolecki is stepping down to an Associate position creating the vacancy that exists. The vacancy has been posted. The Volunteer Appointment Subcommittee interviewed Daniel Foley for a full membership position on the Recreation Committee. A motion by Ensminger seconded by West that the Board•of Selectmen confirm the Volunteer Appointment Subcommittee's recommendation, to appoint Daniel Foley to a position on the Recreation Committee with a term expiring June 30, 2015 was aaproved by a vote of 5 -0 -0. A motion by Ensminger seconded by West that the Board of Selectmen confirm the Volunteer Appointment Subcommittee's recommendation to appoint Mary Ellen Stolecki to an Associate position on the Recreation Committee with a term expiring June 30, 2015 was approved by a vote of 5 -0 -0. Discussion /Action Items Ricky's Liquor License Suspension - The Town Manager noted that Ricky's liquor appealed their suspension to the ABCC last week and this was placed on the agenda as a place holder should the Board of Selectmen need to take additional action. As of this moment, the Town has not received a decision from the ABCC so no action is needed this evening. Town Accountant Report - Town Accountant Sharon Angstrom was present to discuss the issue regarding the sale of RMLD trucks to an RMLD employee. She noted that a timeline of events is in tonight's handout and also attached to these minutes. It took a couple of weeks to receive some of the information. She noted the transaction has been reversed. RMLD General Manager Coleen O'Brien and Julie Parenteau were present. Ms. O'Brien noted that the previous policy was over 20 years old and needed to be updated. All policies are in the process of being updated. She understands that the Town and Schools will also update their policies and she would be interested in seeing those when they are done. She noted that the RMLD policies are available on the website though there seemed to be some confusion as to where they could be found on the website. Ms. O'Brien noted that the RMLD core mission is reliability and they are in the 95th percentile. She noted that 80% of the budget is power supply. They are undergoing a comprehensive organizational study and looking at succession planning. They are developing a 20 year strategic plan. Page 1 2 Board of Selectmen Minutes - October 14, 2014 - page 3 John Arena noted that he looks forward toward a continued collaborative relationship. He noted the dialogue should be collegial but it hasn't always been. He noted this issue is out of the hands of the Board of Selectmen and he is confident that the Finance Committee will do a good job. Ms. O'Brien noted that she is coming in to talk with the Selectmen on November 18th about the LED lighting, tree trimming and charging stations. Daniel Ensminger noted that he would like to see her Board on a face to face basis. John Arena suggested a dedicated meeting to talk about what is possible. On another note, Town Accountant Sharon Angstrom noted an anonymous letter was received regarding a DPW employee who purchased a DPW Town truck a while back. It was a 1976 Chevy Dump Truck and $2195 was the high bid. The comparable range from $700 - $3300 depending on condition. The truck was in terrible condition and sold for parts. The truck is not comparable to what was given but she hasn't had the chance to review it yet. She recommends that in the future the Town get a value before going out to bid. The Town also needs a policy to help employees not make any mistakes about a conflict of interest. John Halsey asked if we can require a phone call to the Ethics Commission to see if the employee is allowed to bid and Ms. Angstrom noted she will check with the Town Clerk. She also noted that he was supposed to- notify the Town Clerk but he didn't. Marsie West noted that the vehicle needs to be advertised long enough (longer than one day) and to the right audience. Ms. Angstrom noted that this vehicle was advertised in many locations and we received multiple bids. John Halsey suggested putting a reserve clause on the auction and if the reserve is not met then go to the high bidder and see if we can get fair value. The Board thanked Ms. Angstrom for her work on this. Discuss Fees and Collection Policies - Ms. Angstrom reviewed the fee analysis and noted that she is only showing the fees that need to change. The Fire Department proposed fee increases include the fire alarm permit fee increasing from . $15 to $25; the flammable storage from $10 to $25; day care inspections from $0 to $25; gun powder storage from $15 to $25; single family smoke detector from $25 to $50; two family smoke detector from $50 to $100; miscellaneous permit from $15 to $25 and the sprinkler permit from $15 to $25. Ms. Angstrom noted that these are not a source of big revenue. The proposed fee increases for Community Services permits include residential plumbing 1 fixture from $22 to $45; commercial plumbing 1 fixture from $55 to $100; residential gas 1 fixture from $22 to $45; commercial gas 1 fixture from $55 to $75; residential plumbing and gas up to 3 fixtures from $22 to $45; electrical 1 - 10 outlets from $22 to $25. There seems to be a problem with the $22 amount in View Permit so the request is to increase to $25. The proposed fee increase for street opening /occupancy permits includes increasing all of the street opening permits to $50. The sewer permits all require the same effort so the proposal is to increase from $75 to $100. The water fees are low and should be increased to cover the cost of the actual parts being replaced. This would include increasing the 3 /a" valve replacement from $30 to $75 and the 1" valve replacement from $30 to $100. The meter test increase from $15 to $50 - we do a lot of these at the request of the homeowner and very seldom is there a problem with the meter. Hydrant test flow from $0 to $75 plus cost of ad; and the tapping fee for a new house from $0 to $250. The proposal for connecting the storm water to the Town's drainage from $0 to $75. Other Engineering proposals include plan scans from $0 to $5 and soil test witness /inspection from $0 to $25. 3 Page 1 3 v �f/� Board of Selectmen Minutes - October 14, 2014 - Daae 4 For late fees on dog licenses the proposal is to keep the fee at $10 or $20 plus the $50 bylaw violation on May 1 and then lien against the tax bill in a timeframe as prescribed by law including a $75 recording fee and $75 release fee. If the dog owner is not the property owner the matter would go to court as it currently does. John Arena asked what the timeframe is for this and Ms. Angstrom indicated nine months to one year. John Halsey noted this is not only a fee reduction but a recovery process and he likes this because it is practical. The Town Manager noted this also simplifies the workload. Mary Ellen O'Neill asked what happens if a dog passes. Town Clerk Laura Gemme noted that if the dog passes in the year issued then it will be voided for that year. She noted that the biggest problem is that people return the form but don't put their name on it. Compost Sticker /Depot Parking - The Town Manager noted that the MBTA charges $4 per day which works out to be $983 per space per year or $70,000 for 71 spaces. The Town of Reading collects $80,000 per year for 545 spaces. Most people don't know that the Town pays $536,000 per year to the MBTA for costs and that comes out of State aid. He suggests splitting the Compost Center /Depot parking fees. The Town can pay our trash contractor to pick up more leaves for approximately $25,000 per year. It costs $40,000 per year to run the Compost Center. The community would need a lot of lead time of at least one year to make this change. Marsie West noted that she parks at the depot every day and the cost is too low - $.10 per day. Vote Subsequent Town Meeting Warrant Articles - Regarding Article 6 the Town Manager noted that the owner of Stop and Shop is a Dutch company and they are not interested in acting on this issue. They are actually thrilled that we are doing this and this gives the Town the ability to put a bus shelter there. Article 8 are zoning changes to be made over four Town Meetings. Marsie West noted that the ones in November are core articles. The Town Manager noted that every Town Meeting Member will get a large handout to read in advance. We will start Articles 7 and 8 on the second night of Town Meeting. Robert Corwin, 199 Summer Avenue and member of the 01867 Neighborhood Preservation Group spoke regarding Article 9. He noted that there are over 500 lawn signs throughout Town and 900 residents signed petitions. They are asking the Board of Selectmen to .support sending Article 9 to Town Meeting. John Arena noted that 22 houses responded and 2 did not. He asked about the relationship between 01867 and the sponsor or the Article the West Street .Historic District Commission. Daniel Ensminger asked for the rationale of not going all the way down Summer Avenue. Kathy Greenfield noted that decision was up to the West Street Historic District Commission to create the boundaries and she knows that they wanted to capture Wisteria Lodge. Daniel Ensminger asked if the West Street Historic District Commission noticed the homes and Kathy Greenfield indicated they did. John Halsey noted that there was no one from the West Street Historical District Commission here this evening. He noted they are having a public hearing on October 27tH He would love the see the house preserved but can't vote to support an Article that the Selectmen do not sponsor. He can't vote until he hears from the West Street Historic District Commission and the public. Page 14 Board of Selectmen Minutes - October 14, 2014 - page 5 John Arena asked how many homes are involved and Kathy Greenfield indicated there are 25 parcels and 23 owners. John Arena noted he is surprised that the West Street Historic District Commission is not here tonight. John Arena noted there are legal letters in tonight's packet regarding Article 9. The Town Manager noted that the first letter is from August from Criterion and the second letter is from the 01867 Attorney. Town Counsel agrees with the 01867 Attorney. If he didn't agree, it wouldn't be on the Warrant. The Town Manager noted that he spoke with Everett Blodgett, the Chairman of the West Street Historic District Commission today. He asked Mr. Blodgett if anyone objected and Mr. Blodgett indicated that one person objected in writing. Mr. Blodgett requested that the Board of Selectmen not support this Article because they are not sponsoring it. John Halsey noted he would rather wait and hear what everyone has to say. The Town Manager noted that the Selectmen will be posted for October 27, and there will be a place holder on the 10/28 Selectmen's agenda for this and take no official action tonight. Article 10 - Daniel Ensminger asked if there was any safety evidence regarding this article. The Town Manager noted that there is no proven evidence and page 50 of tonight's handout shows how many areas of Town could be affected by this article. John Arena noted this is what he meant about unintended consequences. The proponent said there were only two or three affected by this and the Board of Selectmen acted in haste. That is a long list on page 50. He can't support this Article. John Halsey noted that he feels the same as John Arena and believed the process was flawed. This Article is tied to the testimony of one complainant and this applies to thousands of acres. People can hunt with bow and arrow and only firearms allowed by law and those firearms do not shoot two miles. He noted that the Board heard from one person who proposes the change the law without due process. He suggests tabling the Article. Daniel Ensminger noted this is like chasing a ghost and he read Section 70 of the Mass General Law that restricts the use of weapons. Marsie West indicated after seeing this long list of properties that would be affected she cannot support this Article. She was originally in favor of putting this on the Warrant but is not supporting until due process is done. The Town Manager noted that the Article could be indefinitely postponed or tabled. Town Meeting will be looking for an explanation. John Halsey and Kevin Sexton indicated they would help with the write up of the background. A motion by Ensminger seconded by West that the Board of Selectmen recommend the subiect matter of Article 3 of the 2014 Subsequent Town Meeting Warrant was approved by a vote of 5 -0 -0. A motion by Ensminger seconded by West that the Board of Selectmen recommend the subiect matter of Article 5 of the 2014 Subsequent Town Meeting Warrant was approved by a vote of 5 -0 -0. Page 5 Board of Selectmen Minutes - October 14, 2014 - page 6 A motion by Ensminger seconded by West that the Board of Selectmen recommend the subiect matter of Article 6 of the 2014 Subsequent Town Meeting Warrant was approved by a vote of 0 -5 -0. A motion by Ensminger seconded by West that the Board of Selectmen recommend the subiect matter of Article 8 of the 2014 Subsequent Town Meeting Warrant was approved by a vote of 5 -0 -0. A motion by Ensminger seconded by West that the Board of Selectmen recommend the subiect matter of Article 10 of the 2014 Subseguent Town Meeting Warrant failed by a vote of 5 -0 -0. A motion by Ensminger seconded by West that the Board of Selectmen move to indefinitely postpone Article 10 of the 2014 Subseguent Town Meeting Warrant was approved by a vote of 5 -0 -0. Town Manager Evaluation - Daniel Ensminger noted that he took 31 goals and numerous objectives and used a four number ranking system - #1 is n /a; #2 is not met; #3 is met; and #4 is exceeds. John Arena noted that composite #1 is the most significant goal and he exceeds in the succession planning and back up to eliminate the single point of failure. Number 19 commends Community Services and the Town Manager in working with the state to shape 40B developments. The Town Manager also stepped in when the Library Building Project was going astray. John Halsey indicated he found that since he was a newly appointed Selectmen and didn't have the experience that the other Selectmen had he found this a difficult task. Kevin Sexton noted that he was not able to fill out his portion due to personal commitments but he feels the same as John Halsey because he is new too. He noted that the Town Manager took the ball and ran with it. Reorganization was a big factor and tough in the first year. He is juggling a lot and the Board of Selectmen want everything done right away. He feels the Town Manager exceeds expectations in key areas. Marsie West noted that so many goals were met and very few didn't get done. She feels he is moving in the right direction. John Arena noted that the Town Manager is willing to hear critical feedback and he runs with it. He understands and meets goals and is a real success story. The Town Manager thanked the Board for their honesty. He noted that the Charter Committee suggests the Town Manager not being the Ombudsman. He also feels his review should extend beyond goals i.e. just because a goal was accomplished doesn't mean it was done well. Approval of Minutes A motion by Ensminger seconded by West to approve the minutes of September 10, 2014 was approved by a vote of 5 -0 -0. A motion by Ensminger seconded by West to approve the minutes of September 23. 2014 as amended was approved by a vote of 5 -0 -0. A motion by Ensminger seconded by West to approve the minutes of September 29. 2014 was approved by a vote of 4 -0 -1 with Arena abstaining. j 2 A motion by Ensminger seconded by Arena to go into Executive Session to consider the purchase, exchange, lease or value of real property and to discuss t 6 Page 16 Board of Selectmen Minutes - October 14, 2014 - page 7 strategy with respect to litigation and that the Chairman declares that an Open Meeting may have a detrimental effect on the negotiating position of the body and not to reconvene in Open Session was approved on a roll call vote with all five voting in the affirmative.

Members - Not Present: Chairman John Arena Others Present: Town Manager Bob LeLacheur, Police Chief Jim Cormier, Town Counsel Ray Miyares Minutes Respectfully Submitted By: Secretary Daniel Ensminger Topics of Discussion: Ricky's Liauors license suspension Town Counsel Miyares explained the decision by the ABCC, received late on Friday afternoon, to uphold the 90 -day license suspension but to request that it be split into 50 days immediate and 40 days held in abeyance for two years, to be rescinded if no other license violations occur during that time frame. He was quite pleased that the ABCC had taken the offense very seriously by upholding the suspension, which as far as he knew was unprecedented in the state. Mr. Ensminger asked that if another violation happened whether the new penalty would be 40 days, and Mr. Miyares replied that a new Hearing would need to be held, and the Board was free to make a decision at that time on the merits of the circumstances, but 40 days would be additional to a new penalty. Mr. Miyares stated that when Ricky's went to court to seek a stay of the license suspension, that request was denied by a judge. He believes that fact had some influence over the ABCC decision. The ABCC worked quickly to render a decision. He stated that if the Board had not been able to meet tonight, or if they do not agree with the ABCC suggestion, then Ricky's liquors would have a much greater chance of success at getting a stay from a court this week. Mr. Ensminger spoke about the Board revisiting their guidelines to ensure that flexibility for different circumstances is made very clear, and Mr. Miyares said that the ABCC did recognize their current guidelines did have such a disclaimer that allowed flexibility, but that it was a reasonable idea for the Board to examine those guidelines in light of these recent events. Mr. Cormier asked that both the Police department and RCASA be involved in any such discussion about liquor policy guidelines, and Mr. Halsey agreed. &) 1,0 Page 1 1 Board of Selectmen Minutes - October 20, 2014 - page 2 Mr. Halsey said that it was clear that the Board's message had been delivered with the length of the suspension. To speak for himself, it was never his intent to ruin a business, but it seemed as if the Board did not get their full attention the first time around as another violation happened so quickly. Other Board members agreed with that assessment. Mr. Miyares said he pointed out to the judge deciding the original request to stay the suspension that the business had no other employees, and aside from rent paid suffered no real economic loss. Mr. Ensminger asked if the ABCC decision was binding, and Mr. Miyares said that it was not - merely a suggestion, but one the Board should take seriously. Mr. Cormier said that the 50 + 40 day suspension was historic, and the Board should be very pleased with the strength of the message delivered to the entire community. Mr. Miyares noted that the ABCC cited three violations, and under current Selectman's policy the fourth violation includes the possibility of license revocation. Ms. West thanked Town Counsel and the Police department for a job well done. Mr. Ensminger moved that the Board of Selectmen accept the recommendation of the ABCC dated October 17, 2014, and vote to amend its prior vote so as to suspend the liquor license for Jay & Ricky, Inc. DBA Ricky's Liquor for a period of ninety (90) days, with fifty (50) days to be served /closed, and forty (40) days to be held in abeyance for a period of two (2) years provided no further violations of Chapter 138, Local Board, or Commission Regulations occur. The fifty (50) day period shall begin on September 3, 2014 and expire on October 23, 2014. The licensee did not appeal a four (4) day suspension imposed earlier this year, so the four (4) day suspension will be served as voted on September 2, 2014, to begin at the end of the current suspension period, beginning October 23, 2014, and ending on October27, 2014, seconded by Mr. Sexton, and approved by a 4 -0 -0 vote. The liquor license shall be available at Town Hall in the Town Manager's Office between 8:00am and 5pm on Monday, October 27tH. _ Mr. Sexton moved to adiourn at 7:25Dm, seconded by Mr. Halsey, and passed by a 4 -0 -0 vote. Respectfully submitted, Secretary Page 1 2 %'►i Mystic Valley Elder Services Fiscal Year 2014 Service Report: Reading In FY14 over 508 Reading residents used Mystic Valley's services valued at $2,644,378, of these 110 were eligible for Nursing Facility care while remaining at home.
