Placing items in the Capital Improvement Program is a prerequisite, but in itself does not authorize spending funds towards these items. Bylaw Committee Report: No report Presentation given by: • Bob LeLacheur - See Attached Motion Carried I IPage ANNUAL TOWN MEETING Reading Memorial High School Preforming Arts Center May 1, 2014 On motion by John Arena, Board of Selection it was voted take Article 13 and Article 14 out of order ARTICLE 13: On motion made by John Arena, Board of Selectmen a vote was taken to see if the Town will vote to approve the FY 2015 -24 Capital Improvements Program as provided for in Section 7 -7 of the Reading Home Rule Charter and as previously amended, or take any other action with respect thereto. Backaround: The Section 6.1.3 of the Reading General Bylaw states "No funds may be appropriated for any capital item unless such item is included in the Capital Improvements Program (CIP), and is scheduled for funding in the Fiscal Year in which the appropriation is to be made" Bond ratings agencies also want to ensure that changes to a long -term CIP are adequately described. Article 4 made changes to the ten -year CIP covering FY14 -FY23, and Included all the detailed changes required to be disclosed by bond counsel. This Article changes the ten -year period to FYIS -FY24, and therefore only drops the current year and adds in FY24. Other minor changes have occurred that only impact FY16 and beyond. Please see the Blue Pages in the Appendix of this Warrant Report for the F15 -FY24 Capital Improvements Program. The following changes are proposed to the FY15 -24 CIP: General Fund FYIS: see Article 4 FY16 to FY24: Various changes made Water Enterprise Fund FYIS: none FY16 to FY24: Various changes made Sewer Enterprise Fund FY15: none FY16 to FY24: Various changes made Storm Water Enterprise Fund FY15: none FY16 to FY24: Various changes made 21Page ANNUAL TOWN MEETING Reading Memorial High School May 1, 2014 Preforming Arts Center Finance Committee Report - given by Barry Berman: The Finance Committee recommends the subject matter of Article 13 by a vote of 9 -0 -0 at their meeting on March 26, 2014.

Excellent worker compensation policies and procedures by the joint Town, School & RMLD Safety Committee led to lower premiums. The School Committee and Administration have requested funding for a school space schematic design concept for Early Education. They also need a new food service van, a few years earlier than expected because of equipment failure. Recreation has requested some funding for the Tennis Courts Field at Birch Meadow (behind the High School) to Improve safety. After a difficult winter, the scheduled parking lot repair funding Is cancelled, because this money is better spent on road repairs (potholes & skim coating). November 2013 Town Meeting approved funding results of a pay & class study for the Town Administration department, to be spread out to other Town departments depending on the results. As those results are not yet available, those funds are returned for other general fund uses as promised. Vacant positions during the year helped fund the costs of the Special Election held in March 2014 - the state is expected to reimburse those costs, but perhaps not until the next fiscal year. 81 Page ANNUAL TOWN MEETING Reading Memorial High School Preforming Arts Center May 1, 2014 Microsoft's sudden decision not to support one of their older operating systems has caused a need to replace /update some Police Cruiser laptops faster than planned, as requested by federal law enforcement authorities. Turnover in the Police department causes some expenses for hiring and promotions, seen in both lines G92 and N92. Injuries in the Fire department have led to higher than expected overtime, which should be reduced once an injured employee completes the retirement process. Surpluses in Fuel, Street Lights and Rubbish help fund the deficit in snow and ice. Finance Committee Report - aiven by David Greenfield: The Finance Committee recommends the subject matter of Article 6 by a vote of 9 -0 -0 at their meeting on March 26, 2014. Bylaw Committee Report: No Report Presentation given by: . Bob LeLacheur - See Attached Motion Carried ARTICLE 7: On motion made by Kevin Sexton, Board of Selectmen move that the Town vote to transfer $300,000 received from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in payment for development within the Town's 40R Smart Growth Zoning Districts from Free Cash into the Smart Growth Stabilization Fund. Background: The Town of Reading has received an additional $300,000 in payments from the State for the 40R Smart Growth project at Reading Woods. Another $150,000 payment is in process, but the timing is uncertain. This Article will move the $300,000 amount from Free Cash and into the 4011 Stabilization Fund, which will therefore have a $353,000 balance. Prior 40R funds have been allocated to roadway and sidewalk improvements, but none are planned for FY35 due to the significant amount of construction projects already planned. Finance Committee Report - aiven by Jeff Perkins: The Finance Committee recommends the subject matter of Article 7 by a vote of 7 -0 -1 at their meeting on Marchl9, 2014. One member abstained because of a possible professional conflict of Interest. Bylaw Committee Report: No Report Presentation given by: . Sharon Angstrom - See Attached Motion Carried ARTICLE 8: On motion made by John Arena move that the Town vote to appropriate the sum of $508,899 to the irrevocable trust for "Other Post - Employment Benefits Liabilities ". Backaround: As part of the FY14 budget the town voted $450,000 in the general fund, $45,215 in the water fund, $7,901 in the sewer fund and $5,783 in the storm water fund for Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) contributions. Although savings from health insurance premiums are available, this year they are needed to pay for the snow and ice budget so no further contributions are proposed. This Article will therefore move the total of all these OPEB contributions ($508,899) to the irrevocable trust for Other Post- Employment Benefits liabilities. 91Page ANNUAL TOWN MEETING Reading Memorial High School Preforming Arts Center May 1, 2014 As of June 2011 the Town's total OPEB liability (including the General Fund, the three Enterprise Funds and the Light Department) was $94.5 million. At that point the Town engaged in a two- pronged strategy to reduce this unfunded liability. First, an irrevocable trust was approved by Town Meeting, and funding strategies were established. Second, the growth in health Insurance premiums was reduced through a collective bargaining process with the unions. A just released OPEB valuation as of June 2013 shows these efforts have had strongly positive results, as the Town's total OPEB liability was $67.2 million - a $27.3 million reduction at a time when actuarially a $7.5 million increase was expected. The bulk of that decrease was due to the funding strategies established. The three Enterprise Funds and the Light Department are on an aggressive fully funding twenty year schedule, and the General Fund is on a partial funding schedule (about $1 million below full funding) projected over thirty years. The latter will transition to a full funding scheduled as is possible, is required by law or after the Pension Fund is fully funded in FY28. Here are the results of an area survey as to how other communities approach the OPEB funding issue. While there Is a wide range of responses, we note the clear trend towards taking this liability more seriously than even a year or two ago: Middlesex League Communities - OPEB Funding Strategies Amount Community Funded Description/Notes Arlington $6.8 million Annually appropriate the difference between $500K and the non- contributory pension appropriation; as non - contributories decrease, funded amount increases. Raised the retiree contribution for health insurance from 10% to 15% and annually appropriate 155K to OPEB. Belmont $0.6 million The Town is trying to develop a policy for an annual funding mechanism. Burlington $1.75 million No funding policy in place as of yet. Considering allocating a set % of free cash annually, building an amount into the operating budget annually, or both options in combination. Currently funding $500k per year out of free cash. Lexington $4.0 million Town earmarked Medicare D revenues over the past several years to the OPEB trust. Melrose $50,000 City has no funding protocol to date. Reading $2.9 million Funding strategy described above. No formal policy has been ($1.5 million adopted by FINCOM because of the loss of flexibility for funding Is RMLD ) other operating budget priorities. Stoneham $0 Town is aggressively funding the pension liability with a projected fully funded date of 2023. Intent is to pay this off and then begin funding OPEB. Plan to set up trust fund soon and potentially add any one time revenues windfall that might be received. Wakefield $3.7 million Town changed health insurance plans and allocated some of the savings achieved to OPEB. Currently, funding 1.8 million each year. Watertown $1.1 million Funds set aside in an OPEB Stabilization Fund (i.e. not a legal OPEB trust fund). Town is on an aggressive funding schedule for pension liability (2019) and intends to reallocate pension funding to OPEB upon fully funded status. Wilmington $100,000 The Town set aside token funds in an account still controlled by the town (i.e. not a legal OPEB trust fund). Considering adding $500k in FY15. 101 Pa g ANNUAL TOWN MEETING Reading Memorial High School Preforming Arts Center May 1, 2014 Winchester $0.9 million No funding policy in place. The Finance Committee is hoping to adopt one within a year. Woburn $1.2 million The City has set aside the Medicare D reimbursement over the past several years in a trust fund. Finance Committee Reoort - alven by David Greenfield: The Finance Committee recommends the subject matter of Article 8 by a vote of 8 -0 -0 at their meeting on March 19, 2014. Bylaw Committee Reoort: No Report Presentation given by: Sharon Angstrom - See Attached Motion Carried ARTICLE 9: On motion by John Arena, Board of Selectmen move to Indefinitely Postpone the subject matter of Article 9 Motion to Indefinitely Postpone Carried ARTICLE 10: On motion made by Dan Ensminger, Board of Selectmen move that the Town raise by borrowing or transfer from available funds, or otherwise, and appropriate the sum of $300,000 for the purpose of making roadway, pedestrian and similar improvements, including the costs of easements, consulting services, audits, plans, documents, cost estimates, bidding services and all related expenses Incidental thereto and necessary in connection therewith, said sum to be expended by and under the direction of the Town Manager; and to see If the Town will authorize the Board of Selectmen, Town Manager, or any other agency of the Town, to apply for a grant or grants, to be used to defray the cost of all; or any part of, said roadway, pedestrian and similar Improvements; and to authorize the Town Manager to enter into any and all contracts and agreements as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this Article. This sum is in addition to the $1 million approved by November 2013 Town Meeting for the same purpose. Backaround: At Subsequent Town Meeting in November 2013, Town Meeting authorized $1 million in debt under Article 8 for the local share of the West Street road project. The Town's share of the project costs consist of engineering, non - participating items, easement acquisition and a project contingency. In February 2014, MassDOT determined that the full cost of the traffic control Interconnect conduit and associated cable is a non - participating item, different from previous guidance we had received. This Article seeks to authorize $300,000 for additional debt to pay for that item, which is too large to be covered by the previous contingency amounts. The West Street Roadway Improvement Project is a roadway safety improvement project on West Street beginning from the Woburn City Line and extending in the northerly direction to just north of its Intersection with Willow Street. The project also includes improvements to the Intersection of Woburn Street at Summer Avenue. The project limits extend approximately 7,500 feet (1.4 miles) along West Street and an additional 2,500 feet (.5 mile) along the intersecting side streets for a total project length of approximately 10,000 feet (1.9 miles). 111 Page ANNUAL TOWN MEETING Reading Memorial High School Preforming Arts Center May 1, 2014 The improvements consist of roadway reconstruction, geometric improvements, drainage improvements, sidewalk construction, curbing, wheelchair ramps, installation of new traffic signals at three (3) locations and signal upgrades at two (2) intersections, pavement markings and signage. The project is designed by the Town of Reading's consultant Greenman - Pedersen, Inc. (GPI) in accordance with MassDOT construction standards and is bid as a Commonwealth of Massachusetts MassDOT project. The additional Town's share of the project to be authorized under this Article is identified on the attached list. Engineering Services $193,300.00 Construction Costs (Non- Participating Items)* $780,000.00 Easement Acquisition $171.350.00 Total $1,144,650.00 Contingency $155.350.00 Total Project Cost $1,300,000.00 * The non - participating Item cost is an estimate only. The Town of Reading's final cost will be based on actual Bid prices received, and the 20% Contingency is expected to be sufficient. Surplus funds, if any, will come back to Town Meeting in order to be directed at another future debt authorization. Finance Committee Report - given by Karen Herrick: The Finance Committee recommends the subject matter of Article 10 by a vote of 9 -0 -0 at their meeting on March 19, 2014.

Background: The purpose of this Article is to authorize the Board of Selectman to take a water easement over the properties of 87 Belmont Street (Assessors map 28 lot 112) and 93 Belmont Street 121 Page ANNUAL TOWN MEETING Reading Memorial High School Preforming Arts Center May 1, 2014 (Assessors map 28 lot 113) to permit the installation, maintenance and repair of a new water main. The Town of Reading has an existing sewer and drain easement that the water easement can be added to. So there is no need to take any additional area. The purpose of the easement is to enable the Town to Install a new water main connecting Belmont Street to Ivy Street. The new main will eliminate a major dead end in the water distribution system as well as improve fire Flows and water quality to the Libby Avenue area. The easement modification, expanding the use of 2,819 +/- s.f. of the existing sewer and drain easements to include a water easement is depicted on the plan entitled "Easement Modification 87 & 93 Belmont Street, Reading, MA," prepared by Bay State Surveying Associates dated March 12, 2014.

The easement is occupied by an existing sewer main only, and if approved, the resulting easement area is of sufficient size to enable the Town to provide proper maintenance or repair of the sewer main. If approved the Town will release all right, title, and interest to approximately one hundred forty-one (141) square feet of the drain and sewer easement as depicted in the plan below. 141 Pa g ANNUAL TOWN MEETING Reading Memorial High School Preforming Arts Center May 1, 2014 Finance Committee Report - given by Peter Lvdecker: The Finance Committee recommends the subject matter of Article 12 by a vote of B -0 -1 at their meeting on March 19, 2014, even though it is unlikely that the Town will actually spend any money on relaxing this easement.

The AHTF requires Town Meeting approval of an annual allocation plan submitted by the Board of Selectmen. AHTF expenditures require approval by a majority vote of the full combined membership of the Board of Selectmen and the Reading Housing Authority. AHTF uses include: 151 Pa g ANNUAL TOWN MEETING Reading Memorial High School Preforming Arts Center May 1, 2014 • Create or preserve affordable housing; • Maintain or operate affordable housing; • Develop new or rehabilitate existing housing as affordable homeownership or rental units; The purpose of the Affordable Housing Allocation Plan is to provide a framework for the Town to expend funds on affordable housing. The current AHTF balance of $260,232.60 reflects revenue generated through the actions of the CPDC, as well as proceeds from the loss of an affordable unit. There are no Town tax aenerated funds in the AHTF. The only expenditure to date from the AHTF, in the amount of $200,000, was to assist Oaktree development with financing affordable housing at 30 Haven Street. That sum has been fully been utilized. At the 2012 Annual Town Meeting, approval was given for funding to hire a consultant to assist a staff initiative to update the Town's Housing Plan, including the five -year "Housing Production Plan ". 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 MGL Ch. 40B. Reading's Housing Production Plan has been approved by the Board of Selectmen and by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Town commissioned and received a supplemental report on how the AHTF can best be used to support the "Planned Production" goals of the Housing Plan. This report was received in late winter 2012, and a presentation was made in April of 2013 to the Board of Selectmen and the Reading Housing Authority. The report recommends a significant restructuring of the Town's AHTF efforts. The Board of Selectmen considered these recommendations last fall, but decided against any changes. Therefore, the current recommendation Is to adopt the AHTF Allocation Plan as shown below as the framework for the use of Affordable Housing Trust Fund in FY 2015. Last November, Town Meeting approved a part-time Regional Housing Services position in the Community Services department. Since that time Reading has had a conversation with several area communities to create a Regional Housing Services Office (RHSO), with Reading as the 'lead town'. The Reading Board of Selectmen has executed an Inter- municipal agreement with North Reading, Saugus and Wilmington to begin this RHSO effort. Other communities are expected to join within the next year. The RHSO plans to hire a shared staff person to monitor and administer affordable housing requirements. This will include working on the Subsidized Housing Inventory (SHI) as well as maintaining ready buyer and ready renter lists. Affordable mousing Trust Puna FY 2014 Pursuant to Article 15 of the 2014 Annual Town Meeting, an Affordable Housing Trust Fund Allocation Plan for the Fiscal Year 2015 in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 140 of the Acts of 2001 is as follows: Available Balance - Unrestricted Funds: $260,232.60 Available Balance - Restricted Funds $0 Unrestricted funds shall be used for the following purposes: 5% up to a maximum of $10,000 for administration of Affordable Housing Remainder for constructing affordable housing (including loan and grant programs); or for maintaining and improving affordability of existing housing stock; or for 161 Pa g ANNUAL TOWN MEETING Reading Memorial High School Preforming Arts Center May 1, 2014 the purchase of existing housing stock to add it to or maintain It as a part of the existing affordable housing Inventory Finance Committee Report - given by Barry Berman: The Finance Committee recommends the subject matter of Article 15 by a vote of 7 -1 -1 at their meeting on March 19, 2014. Bylaw Committee Report: No Report Presentation given by: . Bob Lel-acheur- See Attached Motion Carried ARTICLE 16: On motion by Dan Ensminger, Board of Selectmen move that the Town vote to authorize the following revolving funds for certain Town Departments under Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 44, Section 53E 1/3 for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2012 with the receipts, as specified, credited to each fund, the purposes, as listed, for which each fund may be spent, the maximum amount that may be spent from each fund for the fiscal year, and the disposition of the balance of each fund at fiscal year -end.

There was no activity in the Conservation Consulting Revolving Fund during Fiscal Year 2014. The balance as of March 3, 2014 remains at $0. Inspections Revolving Fund - Beginning In 2004, Town Meeting approved the Inspections Revolving Funds as a way to deposit building and other permit fees from three large projects (the Oaktree, Pulte Homes and Johnson Woods developments). These funds are allowed to be used directly for purposes of plan review, inspections, legal expenses, initial property value appraisal and appeals, and general management of the Community Services operations related to three developments as well as for the construction of curbs, sidewalks and pedestrian safety improvements and records archiving and management. The balance available as of March 3, 2014 in this fund is $797,490, and of that total $55,000 is proposed to be used to help offset some of these related activities in the FY15 Community Services budget. A spending strategy for this balance will be developed in time for the FY16 budget: continued support of certain Community Services budget items, community economic development programs, and transfer to Free Cash are some of the options. Health Clinic Revolvina Fund - The Reading Health Division contracts for third party payments for a number of immunizations. The funds are used to augment the influenza vaccine supply from the State Department of Public Health to insure vaccine for the homebound clients and first responders. The Division also uses these funds for materials for other screening clinics. Clinic client fees are also deposited Into this fund to offset vaccine and clinical supply costs. The balance available as of March 3, 2014 in this fund is $44,443. The State has been cutting back on the free flu and other vaccines to be distributed to cities and towns, and the Town therefore needs to purchase extra doses. The necessary amounts used for clinic vaccine, supplies and staff salaries related to the clinics each year directly from the revolving fund is therefore approximately $25,000. Beginning this year, the Board of Health and staff requested that the uses of these funds to be broadened to allow public health programs. One example of such a program is to offer discounted bicycle helmets to people in the community. • Library Materials Replacement Fund - During the course of a year, the Library recovers funds from patrons who have lost or damaged books or other materials. Previously, those funds went Into the Town's General Fund and at the end of the year went Into Free Cash. Once this Revolving Fund was adopted (beginning In FY 2010), those funds recovered from patrons for lost or damaged materials were available directly to the Library for expenditure to purchase replacement materials and processing supplies. The balance available as of March 3, 2014 in this fund is $9,596. • Mattera Cabin Operating Fund - The log cabin on the Mattera conservation land was purchased several years ago, and was recently renovated by the Vocational School. Some of the use is revenue generating, and it is anticipated that over time the site will generate enough funding to pay the operating costs of the cabin - primarily utilities. This Article allows those revenues that are generated to be used directly for the operating expenses of the cabin. The balance available as of March 3, 2014 in this fund is $663. 181 Page ANNUAL TOWN MEETING Reading Memorial High School Preforming Arts Center May 1, 2014 Town Forest Revolving Fund was created in 2011. The purpose is to allow revenues from controlled timber harvesting and permit fees to then be spent by the DPW Director upon the recommendation of the Town Forest Committee, on improvements to the Town Forest, Including planning efforts. The Town Forest Committee has had a forest stewardship plan created (through a grant) to make recommendations on forest management including controlled timber harvesting. The Committee is In the process of determining how to proceed in beginning this work, and those results are expected in the spring of 2014. The balance available as of March 3, 2014 in this fund is $0. It is anticipated that timber harvesting on a limited basis could begin in FY 2015, and therefore there will be future proceeds which can be used for the purposes of the revolving fund. Finance Committee Report - aiven by Paula Perry: The Finance Committee recommends the subject matter of Article 16 by a vote of 9 -0 -0 at their meeting on March 19, 2014. Bylaw Committee Report:. No Report Presentation given by: Bob LeLacheur - See Attached After some discussion a vote was taken: Motion Carried ARTICLE 17: On motion by John Halsey, Board of Selectmen move that the Town vote to appropriate the sum of 6605.669 in anticipation of reimbursement from the State under Chapter 44 Section 6, Massachusetts General Laws, or pursuant to any other enabling authority for highway projects in accordance with Chapter 90, Massachusetts General Laws. Backaround: The purpose of this Article is to make Chapter 90 funds for road Improvements available to the Town. The Article authorizes expenditures upon receipt of the grant. Last year, both the Governor and Legislature approved a figure over $900,000 for Reading. During the year the Governor refused to release that full amount because his $300,000 Increase from recent levels was predicated on tax increases that were not embraced by the Legislature. We are therefore planning on a FYIS figure closer to $600,000, but it is anyone's guess at this point what might happen. We are learning that legal opinions vary widely across the Commonwealth about Town Meeting voting these funds. Actions range from those that meticulously correct the voted FY14 figures to exactly match has been released by the Governor (perhaps forgoing any unlikely opportunity to receive the higher amount at year end) to those that have Town Meeting take no role at all in the Chapter 90 funding process. For now we will ask that Town Meeting simply vote to accept the Chapter 90 funds provided by the state.
