LeLacheur, Jr. CFA Date: November 17, 2014 RE: MBTA service in the Town of Reading Dear Dr. Scott, 781 - 942 -9043 townmanager @ci.reading.ma.us www.readingma.gov /town - manager For the past few months the Town of Reading has been trying to resolve a conflict that arose some time ago regarding train whistles. One resident came to me early on and expressed concern that when some train engineers saw him sitting on a nearby porch, they blew their whistle because they knew it annoyed him. We often manage such complaints, and sometimes all parties have a good laugh when we learn all the real facts. I respect your time and quite realize the complexity of high -level issues that you deal with. My request, in contrast, is quite basic. How do we get train certain whistles to stop blowing in Reading? For a while as we repaved a crossing road, we well understood federal regulations that until we restored certain roadway safety measures the train whistles would sound as a precaution. After some time of maneuvering between your organization and the Federal Railroad Administration, we had the "do not sound horn" order issued to train employees — I believe that happened about a month ago. We had a welcome few weeks of peace and quiet. In recent days, however, the train whistles are back — but only some of the time. In particular we note the 12:30- 1:30pm train coming from Wilmington, and a freight train at 3:30am. In the past we have been told to contact Justin Manachek, Safety Manager for the MBTA. We have tried that in recent days to no avail. I am hoping you can point me to a better and more lasting solution, or at least an explanation, of the current situation. I do appreciate any time you have spent on this issue, on behalf of the residents of Reading. TMOTHY J.

I would like to recognize your crew, Lt. Mark Dwyer, FF Scott Myette, & FF John Keough. Woburn Incident Commander, Captain Michael Koster struck a second alarm for a one story commercial building in the congested downtown area with heavy fire engulfing the attic and roof area. Your engine crew, initially sent to cover, was redirected to the fire where they quickly placed a portable "Blitz" monitor into action helping knock down the lire on the Campbell Street side of the building. I also appreciate your personal presence offering another level of safety and expertise to the operation. Once again. I thank you for Your departments' response and it is r n reassuring that we ca always count on your assistance when the need arises. Sincerely, Timothy J. Ring Chicf of Depart► lent 6 f, y V DEVAL L.

BERWICK CHAIR JOI..E TE A. WFSTBROOK COMMISSIOVF.R DAVID W. CASH COMMISSIONER As you know, the regulations of the Department of Public Utilities ("Department ") prohibit electric and gas companies from shutting off service from November 15 through March 15 (`Moratorium ") under certain circumstances. 220 C.M.R. § 25.03(1). On October 2, 2014, representatives of the Commonwealth's investor -owned utilities, the low - income fuel assistance network, and the National Consumer Law Center jointly requested that the Department extend the Moratorium in advance this year, to April 1, 2015. In a subsequent conversation with the Office of the Attorney General they too are in agreement extending the date to April 1, 2015. . These parties reason that extending the Moratorium in advance assists the coordination of benefits to those in need. The parties also request that the extension to April 1 be made every year hereafter. The parties state that this will create certainty for all parties and allow companies and fuel assistance agencies to engage in better messaging to customers. I agree that extending the termination date of the Moratorium at this time will enable a consistent message among utilities and ratepayer advocates, which will assist ratepayers to meet their financial obligations while protecting them from shut -offs in still cold weather. That message includes the importance of making payments during the winter months and avoiding the accumulation of large arrearages. Further, with advance notice of the Moratorium extension, local fuel assistance agencies will be better able to anticipate the additional intakes that occur when the Moratorium ends. Therefore, I request that your company refrain from initiating the termination process until April 1, 2014. More specifically, I request that second requests for payment pursuant to 220 C.M.R. § 25.02(3)(b) not issue until April 1, 2014. FAX: (6 17) 345 -9101 tvww.mass.1,,ovldpu / �) Page 2 I appreciate your cooperation in extending the Moratorium in previous years. Thank you in advance for your anticipated continuing cooperation.
