LeLacheur,Jr. CFA Date: June 17, 2015 RE: June 23rd Agenda First on the agenda is approving a sale of Bond Anticipation Notes. We sold $2.365 million at a net interest cost of 0.46% for a one year maturity to Century Bank. That total consists of $665,000 Water main projects, $1,200,000 modular classrooms and $500,000 RMHS retaining wall repairs. These three projects need funding prior to June 30th, which may not be done through internal borrowing. In contrast the Birch Meadow field lighting project does not require any expenses before June 30th, so we will internally finance that during fiscal 2016. In June 2016 we will issue permanent debt for all of these projects, plus remaining debt for the library projects and anything else approved by Town Meeting. Next is a request to approve a Regional Health Agreement with Melrose. As was discussed during the FY16 budget process, next year we are sharing 20%of a Senior Health Inspector who will assist with Plan Reviews. A draft agreement is in your packet and will be presented to Melrose City Council for approval on Monday June 22"d. If there are any changes (none are expected) the Board will see those at your meeting. . Three members of the RCTV Board of Directors will be in to give a progress report. The School Committee appointed John Carpenter, and the Board of Selectmen appointed Kevin Walsh and Steve Goldy. I have attached a financial summary I prepared a year or more ago as a rough overview of their operations. Dr. John Doherty and I met with the RCTV Board in January 2014 and shared our concerns about service and other items. At that time the RCTV Board agreed to prepare a draft survey for the community and expected it to be ready in a month or so. Individual members have expressed to me that a draft was finally ready last winter and that it would be forthcoming from RCVT staff. I have only received a draft from Steve Goldy a couple of months ago and no communication from RCTV staff on this situation. The VASC met earlier in the week to consider volunteer applications, and interviewed some very strong candidates. Some folks that could not or did not attend may cause the VASC recommendations to be incomplete, but we can certainly add this to your July meeting agenda as needed. I am especially pleased at the two applicants for the Board of Health, having worked closely with that group over the past year along with John Halsey. We have a liquor license transfer request in front of the Board. Public Safety has reviewed the request and do not have any concerns. Note that the new applicant owns another liquor store in town that has recently been in front of the board for selling to minor violations, but since has had a clean record. The Board will then take up the possible sunset issue with five committees: Climate Advisory Committee; Economic Development Committee; Fall Street Faire Committee; Human Relations Advisory • Committee; and Trails Committee. Each group was in at a prior Selectmen's meeting to make comments and suggestions, and some material was submitted in writing. I have not received additional comments since that time. Finally Chairman Ensminger will lead a discussion on the Town Manager review process. Last year the Board thought to devise a broader evaluation tool in addition to the goals. I am happy to assist the Board in this effort, and try not to act like the fox in the hen house while doing so O. The next meeting is July 215`when I expect a full discussion on FY15 and FY16 goals. Does the Board wish to meet on a Saturday before that date?

Shared Senior Health Inspector Services. During the Term of this Agreement, Reading and Melrose shall share costs associated with limited services to be provided by the Melrose Senior Health Inspector. Specifically, the parties shall share the services and related expenses of the Melrose Senior Health Inspector in connection with restaurant plan reviews. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Reading and Melrose shall maintain separate Boards of Health which shall be vested with the authority for setting health policy within their respective communities. 2. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on July 1, 2015 and shall expire on June 30, 2016, unless earlier terminated as set forth herein. On or before January, 2016, the parties shall review their contractual relationship, the terms of which are set forth herein, to ensure that this Agreement continues to satisfy the needs and objectives of each community. 3. Identity of Senior Health Inspector. The parties shall share costs associated with limited services to be provided by the incumbent Melrose Senior Health Inspector, Jennifer Keough, or a successor hired by the City of Melrose through the standard personnel practice of Melrose. 4. Compensation. Melrose shall pay the salary and benefits of the Senior Health Inspector. Reading shall contribute its share of the associated costs for these positions by paying to Melrose a variable sum, as required by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, per fiscal quarter during the Term, each payment to be due and payable within fifteen (15) days after the commencement of such fiscal quarter (i.e., after 7/1, 10/1, 1/1 and 4/1). Melrose shall adjust the compensation it pays said position as it may be required to do in accordance with any collective bargaining agreements and standard personnel practices which impact upon the Senior Health Inspector, and shall give prompt written notice to Reading of any such adjustment. 1 ,51) Reading shall adjust its quarterly payments accordingly. In the event that any collective bargaining agreement requires Melrose to make a lump sum payment to the Senior Health Inspector reflecting a retroactive salary increase during the Term, Melrose shall promptly give written notice thereof to Reading and Reading shall, within sixty (60) days thereafter, pay Melrose its share of such amount to the extent that the retroactive pay period includes any part of the term hereof. For Fiscal Year 2016, the compensation paid by Reading to Melrose for the Senior Health Inspector shall be in accordance with Exhibit A attached hereto. 5. Other Collective Bargaining Agreement Benefits. Melrose shall provide the Senior Health Inspector with all benefits to which the position is entitled in accordance with standard personnel practices.

At the end of each fiscal year, Reading shall reimburse Melrose for its workers' compensation costs associated with the employment of the Senior Health Inspector, such reimbursement to be equal to the product of Reading's contribution to the Senior Health Inspector's salary during such year multiplied by the rate paid by Melrose for workers' compensation insurance for the Senior Health Inspector for such year. Reading shall also reimburse Melrose for its health insurance, life insurance, and Medicare, costs associated with the Senior Health Inspector, said reimbursement to be equal to the proportion of Reading's contribution to the Senior Health Inspector's salary. 7.

I noticed the posting in from last June looking for volunteers both as full membership and Associate vacancies for the Reading Conservation Commission. I noticed the request is still posted and am interested in learning if any of the posts are still open. I have not held a position on a Town committee or commission in the past. However, my education and background may qualify me as a potential candidate to volunteer. I graduated from the University of Rhode Island in 2007 with a Bachelor's of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering. I worked eight years for GEI Consultants,a consulting engineering firm; I worked 3 years in the Hartford, Connecticut area and 4 years in the Boston area (offices located in Woburn, MA). I am a registered Professional Engineer in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I have a wide range of experience in the geotechnical,environmental and construction services fields including,slope stability analysis,seepage analysis, settlement analysis,wall analysis and design,excavation support design,construction oversight, remedial investigation and design,subsurface explorations,and laboratory testing programs. My primary background is in the geotechnical engineering field related to flood control structures(dams and levees)and excavation support systems. As an engineer, I have applied for local permits and participated in several public meetings, however it has been on the private (owner/applicant/developer) side. From my experience, I am familiar with the general responsibilities of the Conservation Commission and I am aware and willing to the time commitments required. My interest in the commission is drawn from my interest to get involved with the community and the alignment with my professional background. If positions are still available, I can provide additional resume and experience,if required. I can be contacted best via email or my mobile number below. I appreciate your time and consideration.

This position became open with the resignation of our long term member, Karen Flammia,whose term expires June 30, 2015. Mr. Robbins is a long time resident dedicated to the best interests of Reading. Prior to his retirement from the Town of Reading and since the beginning of my own tenure at this agency, he was assigned as the liaison between the housing authority and the police department. That relationship afforded him the opportunity to not only know RHA staff along with operational policies but extend a helping hand with residents when asked.He has always addressed any concerns I may have had about any potential issues within the developments or requests for guidance with the upmost discretion. I believe he would continue to exhibit a consistent and dedicated approach to addressing the overall needs associated with affordable housing and the administration of housing programs. The appointment of Mr. Robbins to our Board of Commissioners will provide an invaluable resource and will provide continued stability in this transition. The Housing Authority thanks you for your consideration of this appointment. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any further questions. Respectfplly, i Lyn E.

Mr. LeLacheur said this team is ahead of the game and their group skills will by far be the most valuable in college life and the real world. RMLD Citizen Advisory Board Member Report David Mancuso was present to talk to the Board. He explained 84% of their budget is literally to keep the lights on. They are selling less and less with the inventions of more ecofriendly options. The board is currently trying to come up with ideas to generate more revenue. RMLD has one of the lowest rates but likely to see some increases with energy. They are looking into utilizing fiber that is already underground. Mr. Ensminger asked if there was any way to expand to other towns. Mr. Mancuso said they would face some real difficulties but it's not impossible. He said they are looking into a generator to help save at peak times of electrical use. Mr. Berman asked if we could offer a better rate to someone who chooses to use at off-peak hours. Tom 011ila, Engineer for RMLD, stated they do have a program like that and said on-peak hours are 12 - 7 PM. Mr. Mancuso also said RMLD recently did an organizational study. l Page 12 0 Board of Selectmen Minutes - June 2, 2015 - page 3 Solar Opportunities Tom 011ila, RMLD Engineer, was present to talk about a possibility of a Community Shared Solar (CSS) Program. The program would be a partnership between a Private Developer, Municipal Utility, the Town, and end-user participates. The private developer would catch sustainable federal and state tax incentives that the municipal entities cannot. The vendor would be selected by the Town and RMLD for financing and ownership. RMLD would oversee all the specs and operations. The Town would receive lease payments for the property site. The best property site at the moment would most likely be at the High School. Mr. Ensminger noted roofs get replaced every 10-15 years but solar panels are good for about 20-40, who would take care of that if the roof needed to be replaced but the solar panels were still good. Before solar panels are placed on a roof, the roof is checked to see approximately how long it is good for and then if the roof may need to be replaced before the panels we would work with a contractor. Mr. Berman asked if we do the solar panels are we able to sell to more people, because if not, we still have the same problem of lots of electricity with no one to sell to. Mr. 011ila said this would be more helpful with cutting costs. Mr. Arena asked what would happen if we did put the panels up and then it fails, how much money would we lose. It was noted that the developer would take the financial hit if that happened. Mr. 011ila said there are many advantages to doing solar panels including payment to the town for the site, potential reduced electric expenses, RMLD customers could get clean, green renewable energy, there is no hassle to doing panels on our own property, RMLD would have no need for upfront capital expenses, and reduced wholesale power supply, capacity, and transmission costs. He noted there are 3 potential sites in Reading however RMHS looks like the best one. The next steps would be to make a financial plan, negotiate a lease, define metering policy and rates, and then find/approve a vendor. Mr. Halsey said there are a lot of benefits to all parties but it just doesn't seem like we are financially ready at the moment but it would be very wise to keep this path an option later on down the road. Climate Advisory Committee Report Dave Williams explained they are currently in the middle of a paper/cardboard recycling program and trying to get a dumpster behind CVS. The 2015 Earth Day Fair will focus on renewables. The Climate Advisory Committee is involved with a lot of outreach in the schools and community. They are looking to continue working with RMLD, planning division and the schools. The committee also recently adopted an island. Walk Reading Weekend Virginia Blodgett explained they have four organized walks set up for the weekend of May 30`h. Two walks on each day and this is to promote healthy lifestyle and if you cannot attend one of the walks to make sure you get outside for some kind of activity. Mr. Sexton move to proclaim Walk Reading Weekend on Saturday May 30th and Sunday May 31St, second by Mr. Arena and approved with a 5-0-0 vote. Continued Hearing - Liquor License Transfer - Grumpy Doyles The Police Department has reviewed the report and has no objection to moving forward. Mr. Halsey thanked them for clearing up that issue and noted the Board is excited for them to continue in Reading. Mr. Sexton made a motion to close the hearing, second by Mr. Berman and approved with a 5-0-0 vote. Mr. Sexton moved to approve a transfer of a Restaurant All Alcohol Liquor License to Unaqi Servers, Inc. doing-business-as Biltmore & Main Bar and Grill at 530 Main Street, for a term expiring December 31, 2015 subject to the following conditions: All Bylaws, Rules and Regulations of the Town of Reading and of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall be followed, and subject to a satisfactory Page 13 Board of Selectmen Minutes - June 2, 2015 - page 4 inspection of the establishment by the Town Manager or his designee, second by Mr. Arena and approved with a 5-0-0 vote. Continued Hearing - New Liquor License - Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza The proposed location is the old Macaroni Grille at 48 Walkers Brook Drive. The attorney said they are hoping to open 4th quarter this year. Police rendered clearance on the affidavit which means they hope to start construction in a month or so with a five week turnaround. Mr. Arena welcomed the Southern franchise to Reading and noted the Town has a low tolerance with noncompliance regarding alcohol serving. The proposed manager said they have never had any problems in their other locations and will comply with all of the laws in Reading as well. Mr. Sexton made a motion to close the hearing, second by Mr. Halsey and approved with a 5-0-0 vote. Mr. Sexton moved to approve a new Restaurant All Alcohol Liquor License to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza of Reading LLC doing-business-as Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza at 48 Walkers Brook Drive, for a term expiring December 31, 2015 subject to the following conditions: All Bylaws, Rules and Regulations of the Town of Reading and of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall be followed, and subject to a satisfactory inspection of the establishment by the Town Manager or his designee, second by Mr. Arena and approved with a 5-0-0 vote. Lincoln Street 40B Project Before this discussion got started Mr. Sexton noted he is old friends with the project developer and wanted to disclose that neither his company nor himself would benefit from this project. This proposed project would be where the Simply Wood and Doucette Buildings are currently. It would be five story buildings with the first story being parking and four floors of units above. The entrance would be on Prescott Street and be one way exiting onto Lincoln Street. They are proposing 77 units with one parking spot per unit. Seventy percent of the units would be one bedroom and there would be eight 3-bedrooms. Mr. Arena noted parking in that area is already terrible and with only 1 parking spot per unit, where would the spillover be? The Police Chief is not okay with the parking situation of this project and the Fire Chief is not okay with the clearance of the building as he cannot access the back of the building. The density of this project is 5 times what is allowed. Tom Speros of 22 Prescott asked what "40B" means. Ms. Delios answered that, with the approval from Mass Housing, a developer can come in and propose a development with affordable housing and bypass all of our local zoning laws because Reading currently does not have enough affordable housing that the State requires. Mr. Berman commented that these new buildings will be 63 feet tall which is 20% higher than the current buildings. Mr. Speros of 22 Prescott asked if the units will have balconies and the developer noted there is no plan for balconies at this time. Linda Snow Dockser of Beaver Road asked if there were any plans for a community room inside. The answer is no, not at the moment. Mr. Berman asked how they plan on marketing these nice expensive units that are built around/behind a body shop. The project manager stated they will be targeting people looking to live close to the train. Page 14 Board of Selectmen Minutes - June 2, 2015 - page 5 Jeanne Thomas of 21 Arlington Street noted she is concerned about the lighting and the fumes because there is no buffer at all. She also said parking in this area is already really bad and this is only going to make it worse. The developer noted there will be a ventilation system in the garage because most of it will be enclosed. Caroline Gauthier of 76 Washington Street said she moved to Reading and to this street because it was nice and quiet and now her view will be of the parking garage exit and all she is going to hear are cars leaving because the garage is basically on top of her property. The developer said if she would like they will plant trees on her property as a sort of buffer. Mr. Arena asked about the trash situation since trucks will not be able to get through the garage. They said there will not be any dumpsters; there will be trash chutes in the buildings that will be emptied into barrels and wheeled out of the garage to the trucks. Tom Keegan of 90 Washington Street asked if they acquire the auto body property does that mean more units will go in. The developer explained they can't say what would happen but the plans would need to be redone and there is a probability that more units would go in. Mr. Berman asked if they acquire the auto body property would they consider making the building a mix-use building with some retail in there. The developer noted maybe, however they have not given it any thought because they do not have that piece of property so they are not planning for it at the moment. Nick Aiello of 92 Washington Street said he completely loses all his privacy with the height of this building which is right on his property line. Ron D'Addario of 97 Summer Ave asked the developer if they ever acquire the auto body property maybe they could think about eliminating one floor and have a little set back. Paul Stoddard of 96 Washington Street noted that he moved to Washington Street for the quiet neighborhood and now this development will ruin that quietness while putting up this huge building right on top of my property. He stated traffic in this area is already miserable because of the train and this will make it so much worse. One of the consultants for the project noted they do not have a lot of answers because they are in the beginning stages of a very long process but said the neighbors' comments and concerns will be considered. Jeanne Thomas of 21 Arlington Street said the street is a cut through street with parking limitations already, where do you expect guests of these 77 units to park. It was noted that the rules and regulations do not require the project to provide guest parking. Damon Lusk of 52 Washington Street wanted to reiterate most people's concerns and say there is absolutely no way the parking situation will ever work. Everett Blodgett of 99 Prescott noted that this street has a lot of walking traffic and this will make walking conditions worse. The project manager said they are still very early into the process and haven't had a lot of these conversations that raise the concerns being brought up. BCC's to Sunset Fall Street Faire - Chair Brian Snell said they are in their 6th year. They would entertain the idea of handing over the committee to the Chamber of Commerce but they would need transition time. Member Sheila noted it would help if they could have voting associate members. Member Steve Goldy said it would take time to show new people the process it takes to put on this faire. Mr. Halsey and Mr. Arena noted how big of a success this faire is and that maybe it is worth thinking about privatizing the committee. Page 15 Board of Selectmen Minutes - June 2, 2015 - page 6 Jack Russell explained he started the faire a long time ago and it is important to keep as a Town function to help feed the DIET trust. Mr. Berman stated if profits from the faire come back to the town he would like to see it stay that way. Mr. LeLacheur asked if the committee had any prospects or any plan for what they are going to do down the road when they don't want to be the ones running it anymore. Mr. Snell noted they have new people getting involved recently especially with the chamber. Mr. Halsey asked how the long the committee wants to stay for. The committee responded they would like to do three more fairs. Climate Advisory Committee - Ron D'Addario noted the committee would like to be renewed. He said they like working closely with RMLD and want to continue to do so but do not want to be with them. The group is asking for three years and would like to remain under the Selectmen. Economic Development Committee - Chairman Karl Weld said the committee is right in the middle of their master plan for the Town. The work they are doing is vital to economic growth in the Town. The committee would like to continue and expand with more members of expertise. Member Jack Russell explained the EDC should continue but be restructured, associate members should be encouraged and noted the committee lacks the talent to do the things they need/can/want to do. He said the building fagade program has been very successful but what they really need is a budget. Karl suggested maybe expand the group and form 2 subgroups, one that focuses on projects that are already complete and supporting them and one focusing on going out and starting new projects. Mr. Berman said he agrees it's important for us to control economic development so we get what we want. Mr. Halsey asked if Mr. Russell is suggesting the committee continue but with all new people with better experience. Mr. Russell answered in a way yes, but more expand the group with more people with experience they need. Mr. Berman also noted he thinks the Board of Selectmen should have their own discussion about economic development soon. Human Relations Advisory Committee - Camille Anthony, Linda Snow Dockser and Kyung Yu were present. Linda Snow Dockser stated to the board that the committee would like to continue. She said they are working hard to bring community groups together. They use resources in the Town to keep up with things going on around the world to help keep Reading awesome. The committee educates and reports hate crimes, provides forums for dialogue in hard conversations and organizes educational and cultural celebrations of diversity. Mr. LeLacheur confirmed the relationship between the Town Manager, the Police Chief and the Committee will always continue. The committee noted they are asking for at least two more years. Trails Committee - Jean Jacobs, Will Finch, and Tom Gardiner were present. The Trails Committee cosponsored the Walk Reading weekend. They are advisors to Girl and Boy Scouts. They are currently in the middle of rebuilding Higgins Bridge which a lot of kids use. The committee noted they bring in a lot of grants. They would like to remain a committee because they work closely with Town staff. Mr. Arena asked if the Trails Committee and the Town Forest committee have ever considered merging. He said it may help you out more and would have more members. The committee agreed it may be useful to have more members however the two committees really do different things. The committee is looking for another three years. Page 16 Board of Selectmen Minutes - June 2, 2015 - page 7 Mr. Sexton second by Mr. Berman moved that the board of Selectmen vote that the maximum useful life of the departmental equipment listed below to be financed with the proceeds of the 1.2 million borrowing authorized by a vote of the Town passed April 27, 2015 (Article 5) is hereby determined pursuant to G.L. c. 44 C 7(9) to be as follows: Purpose: Modular classrooms; Borrowing Amount: $1,200,000; Maximum Useful Life 20 years, approved with a vote of 5-0-0. Approval of Minutes Mr. Sexton moved that the Board of Selectmen approve the minutes of May 5, 2015, second by Mr. Berman and approved with a vote of 4-0-1 with Mr. Arena abstaining. Mr. Sexton moved that the Board of Selectmen adjourn the meeting at 11:30 PM, second by Mr. Halsey and approved with a 5-0-0 vote. Respectfully submitted, Secretary Page 17 Off'OFgEgOi 4.. Town of Reading ^ ' Meeting Minutes <4 6f9.INCOR9°9' Board - Committee - Commission - Council: Board of Selectmen Date: 2015-06-02 Time: 7:00 PM Building: Reading Town Hall Location: Selectmen Meeting Room Address: 16 Lowell Street Purpose: General Business Attendees: Members - Present: Chairman Daniel Ensminger, Secretary Kevin Sexton, John Arena, Barry Berman Members - Not Present: Vice Chairman John Halsey Others Present: Town Manager Bob LeLacheur, Assistant Town Manager Jean Delios, Community Services Director John Feudo, Town Accountant Sharon Angstrom, School Committee member Jeanne Borawski, Martha Sybert, Stephen Crook, David Swyter, Justin Lizotte, Richard Hand, Jonathan Weber, Dan Creamer, Tom Fratto, Molly Baker, Brian Healy, Executive Assistant Paula Schena Minutes Respectfully Submitted By: Secretary Kevin Sexton Topics of Discussion: Reports and Comments Selectmen's Liaison Reports and Comments - John Arena thanked his colleagues for covering the Memorial Day ceremonies and he also thanked the veterans for their services. Barry Berman noted that he gave an address at the Forest Glen Cemetery. He attended the school assessment meetings at the various schools and people are satisfied with the schools. Kevin Sexton noted that he marched in the Memorial Day parade with his daughter and gave a speech at the Charles Lawn Cemetery. He gave kudos to Veteran's Agent Kevin Bohmiller, Bill Brown, Frank Driscoll and the Boy and Girl Scouts for all of their hard work in putting this event together. He and John Halsey met with the Firearms Safety Committee and Town Counsel attended the meeting. Town Counsel is not crazy about the language and they will meet again next Monday at the Police Station. John Arena asked if he had a sense of the overall schedule end date for this committee and Kevin Sexton noted that they will meet every two weeks until they have something to report. They hope to present to the Board of Selectmen in late August. Daniel Ensminger noted that he spoke at Laurel Hill and Wood End Cemetery on Memorial Day. It was a great event and it is Boy Scout Troop 702 100th Anniversary this year. He attended the May 26th walk with Secretary Ash from Economic Development Executive Office of Housing. They walked the downtown area and Secretary Ash praised the Town for being proactive. It was a very successful visit. Page I 1 Board of Selectmen Minutes - June 2, 2015 - page 2 Town Manager's Report - The Town Manager thanks Kevin Bohmiller and everyone else for a job well done on Memorial Day. He also noted that June 13th is Friends and Family Day and he will bring info on 40B sites, Bunratty Tavern and other projects. Daniel Ensminger suggested also bringing the MAPC sites. Discussion/Action Items Appoint Town Counsel - The Town Manager noted that he recommends reappointing Miyares and Harrington. John Arena noted that selection of Town Counsel is like finding the right match. Barry Berman noted that Ray Miyares brings everything down to everyone's level. He asked at what point does it become fiscally prudent to have an in-house counsel? The Town Manager noted that historically Reading has been tight with money and the question is what are the common things that we are dealing with. He categorizes and we are all over the place. He would like to have an in-house Counsel but he would want to wait. The nice part about having a firm is the breadth of knowledge within that firm. A motion by Sexton seconded by Arena to appoint the firm of Miyares and Harrington as Town Counsel was approved by a vote of 4-0-0. Town Accountant Report - Town Accountant Sharon Angstrom noted that the Town is in good shape. The "other excise tax" is low but that is the meals tax and we receive that quarterly and have not received it yet. The RMLD payment in lieu of taxes comes in at the end of June. The "miscellaneous revenues" include $160,000 for insurance dividends and $25,000 for health insurance reimbursements. Daniel Ensminger asked where the RMLD payments show up and Sharon Angstrom noted under "other funding sources" - $2.3 million distribution. Sharon Angstrom noted that money was taken out of Administrative Services salaries account for snow and ice. The Town Manager noted that we are having problems with bids recently not coming in on budget. Kevin Sexton asked if that was because of the amount of work going on and the Town Manager it could be that, plus there is also a limited number of contractors. Sharon Angstrom noted that Town Meeting approved a line for Fire Fighter disability but she hasn't added that in yet. In addition, the schools capital seems high. Martha Sybert has indicated to her that she will have signed contracts before the summer. Sharon Angstrom noted that there was an inquiry from Linda Phillips regarding the school revolving funds and whether it is legal for the schools to run an entrepreneur business as a public entity. The State has responded that revenues and expenses should match. The revenues should be just enough to cover the cost of the program. John Arena asked what happens to the money and Sharon Angstrom noted that the school department is paying direct and indirect costs. The school person believed that an excess should remain in the revolving funds and there is no way she can move the money. They differ on opinions, it is her understanding that they cannot grow the funds over two years. John Arena noted that it is fine to accrue a positive balance as long as the expenses equal it. Barry Berman asked if they are allowed to charge back the wages costs part of salaries and Sharon Angstrom indicated yes and we do that also. Page 1 2 Board of Selectmen Minutes - June 2, 2015 - page 3 John Arena asked if a reconciliation sheet can be done every year and Sharon Angstrom indicated it can and she will be working with Martha Sybert on this. John Arena asked how we unwind this account and Sharon Angstrom indicated they could refund money to those who contributed to the fund. The money has to be used for what the fund was created for. The management letters says the school department has 6 - 24 months of excess in that revolving fund. Daniel Ensminger asked if there are any revolving funds on the Town side with a lot of excess and Sharon Angstrom indicated only one in building and that money was used for snow and ice. The Town Manager noted that Town Meeting will have to vote any changes on how the money is spent. Daniel Ensminger noted that Kathleen Colleary's letter indicates the fees must be calculated. John Arena asked the Town Accountant to come back in the first quarter of the new fiscal year with the result of solving these problems. Ms. Angstrom noted that they could lower fees or refund fees if there is too much excess. She also indicated she doesn't like when the auditors are finding things but they did mention that we were easy to work with and we do have an AAA bond rating. Martha Sybert noted that she reported to the State on May 18th that she will have the report in approximately six months. Barry Berman asked if the expectation is to be a zero at years end and Sharon Angstrom indicated no, there should be zero growth, not a zero balance. Sharon Angstrom noted that the auditors will start their field work for FY15 on June 22nd The Town Manager noted that the Department of Revenue has indicated that the tax rate setting could be difficult this year due to early retirements but they will bring in people to help out. Hearing - Second Driveway Request - 137 - 139 Salem Street - The Secretary read the hearing notice. The Town Manager noted we received comments from DPW, the Town Engineer and Police and they have no problem with the request. Developer Al Couliard noted that he will be raising the existing building and increasing the frontage separation from 29 feet to 81 feet. Barry Berman noted that he is creating two instances of driveways emptying onto a busy street at the same time. Is there anything in the code regarding distance between separate properties? The Town Manager noted there is not and noted that one of the driveways is shared. Mr. Couliard noted that the other driveway is big enough so they can turn around and pull out forward. Molly Baker, 143 Salem Street, noted she shares the driveway and they are going to a non- shared which she likes. She asked what will happen to the shared piece. Mr. Couliard noted it will go to grass. After two to four months he will cut and loom that piece. Ms. Baker asked if there will be any trees planted there and Mr. Couliard noted they will talk about this. Mr. Baker asked about the grading of the property and Daniel Ensminger noted this is not the forum for that discussion. X83 Page 3 Board of Selectmen Minutes - June 2, 2015 - page 4 A motion by Sexton seconded by Arena that the Board of Selectmen close the hearing on the second driveway request for 137 - 139 Salem Street was approved by a vote of 4-0-0. A motion by Sexton seconded by Arena that the Board of Selectmen approve the proposed driveway separation for 137 - 139 Salem Street as indicated on the plan by Christiansen & Sergi, Inc. dated April 16, 2015 subject to the following conditions: 1. That the applicant submit a grading plan to Engineering for review and approval as a substantial grade differential exists to each of the abutting properties; 2. The existing shared driveway does not have an outstanding legal document prohibiting this action; was approved by a vote of 4-0-0. Birch Meadow Field Lighting - Recreation Administrator John Feudo, Recreation Committee Chairman Richard Hand and Tom Fratto from the Little League were present. John Feudo noted that they are interested in hearing from the neighbors. This is the first of three neighborhood meetings. They have filed with Conservation for borings and the plan/design should be complete sometime in July/August. They hope the procurement will be in August. John Arena asked what the borings are for and John Feudo indicated that is for the construction of the lights. We will be going from 17 lights on a pole to 27 lights on a pole. John Feudo noted the intent is to light the Little League field, turf 2, the softball fields, the lighted softball field and Morton Field. John Arena asked if there is any thought about getting nets on Birch Meadow Drive and John Feudo noted they could put them on the fence. Daniel Ensminger asked what type of lights we will be using and John Feudo noted Musco lights. We will use directional lights that are a green system and don't waste light. Barry Berman asked about the height difference and John Feudo noted the current poles are 30 feet. The poles on the fields will be 50 feet and on the turf will be 50 - 60 feet. Barry Berman jokingly asked if we will put tires around them and John Feudo noted we will put padding around them. John Arena asked if there is any engineering for future development. John Feudo noted that some of the lights will be tied into the tennis box and the others will tie into the existing boxes. John Feudo noted that parking is an issue with or without lights on the fields. He recommends restricting parking on the resident side of Bancroft Street to resident only; have tennis parking only at the courts and baseball parking at the fieldhouse. John Feudo noted that the light schedule will vary by field and they will keep the neighbors in mind. There will be a little bit of light spillage. Moving the vehicles to the fieldhouse should cut back on the noise and the Little League will park at RISE. Kevin Sexton noted that beyond RISE is a court not being used and he asked if that could be used for parking. John Feudo noted that is possible to look at but it is close to houses on Longfellow. Page 14 Board of Selectmen Minutes - June 2, 2015 - page 5 John Arena asked about the problem of turning around on Bancroft Avenue and John Feudo noted that is why he suggests making it one way directed to the parking. John Feudo noted that we changed the address on all of the websites to 62 Oakland Road. The Recreation Committee is committed to accommodate the neighbors. He is adding way finding signs also. Kevin Sexton asked what is done for resident guest parking and the Town Manager noted that there are resident guest passes. The Town Manager noted that the schools have activities all year round. He suggests giving people a chance to change their behavior before making the street a one way. Dave Swyter, 98 Hartshorn Street, noted he had a hard time linking to the 2009 Master Plan. He suggests doing some Master Plan refiguring. John Feudo noted that when the first Master Plan was finished the Selectmen asked the Recreation Committee to relook at it. The first step is to light the fields. Imagination Station needs have changed. The Recreation Committee is doing a survey which was released yesterday. Daniel Ensminger asked what the timetable is for updating the plan. John Feudo noted it will take 30 days to get the results of the survey. He feels they will be looking at a 20% to 30% tweak. Dave Swyter asked if the Board of Selectmen is creating an ad hoc committee to update the Master Plan and John Feudo noted they are not, they gave that task to the Recreation Committee. Mr. Swyter noted that part of the Master Plan is not to add more parking. Barry Berman noted that most of the parking already exists and he doesn't see a divergent from the original plan. Dave Swyter noted that the Master Plan calls for no tree removal, no fences if possible, no advertising, etc. and he feels the Selectmen need to assign an ad hoc committee to investigate this. He noted that the lights at the tennis court are 40 feet high and we are adding 70 foot lights. He feels the neighbors will get glare from the vertical lighting. He noted that Musco can model the light glare on the houses. He noted that hours of operation need to be considered. The tennis court is lit and nobody is on it. John Feudo noted that it is difficult to determine when people will play and there is a schedule for the tennis court. The fields will only be lit when being used. Barry Berman asked if we can have an authorized user to turn the lights on and off and John Feudo indicated yes. Jonathan Weber, 84 Hartshorn Street, asked if we are taking the basketball court near RISE for parking and John Feudo indicated we are not. Mr. Weber noted that traffic must be looked at. He feels signage will make a difference and he is concerned about the lighting. He is concerned with tennis only parking because it will be hard to enforce and he doesn't like giving one group something more than everyone else. He thinks lights are workable if they are only on for events. He also noted that everyone is waiting for something to be done with Imagination Station. Julie Scott from Hanscom Avenue noted that Morton Field keeps getting closer to her home. She has dents in her siding. She asked if night games will be allowed and if the lights will be on until 10:00 p.m. She noted that games start at 8:00 a.m. John Feudo noted that the Recreation Committee will determine if it will be lit at night. They will get input from neighbors. He also noted that fields are not used until 9:00 a.m. Ms. Scott asked if the �G n� Page 5 +� Board of Selectmen Minutes - June 2, 2015 - page 6 benches will be steel and John Feudo noted they will be covered with plastic. Ms. Scott asked if there was a possibility of getting some netting and John Feudo indicated yes, if she wants it. Justin Lizotte, 246 Bancroft Street, noted that he is in favor of netting. He suggests putting signage in the batting cages with hours of use. He noted it is a private individual using the field early in the morning. John Arena suggested putting up some greenery and John Feudo noted that he would have to check with Conservation about that. Dave Swyter noted that horizontal is birds eye and vertical are headlights glare and Musco can model that. He asked the cost of the lighting and the Town Manager indicated $1 million. Mr. Swyter asked who is paying and John Feudo noted that the users will pay for the use. The Town Manager noted that Recreation charges fees and if they are below costs we can increase the fee to cover the costs for debt service for all of this. Dave Swyter asked about field maintenance and the Town Manager noted that maintenance is in the budget and users pay. Recreation also has playground funds to cover the fences if needed. John Feudo noted that they have an organization raising money to do field clean up. Dave Swyter asked if the basketball court was off the plan and John Feudo indicated it is not off the plan, it's just not a priority. A resident noted that the chain link fence has a hole in the side at the basketball court. A resident requested a speed bump on Bancroft. A resident from 77 Hanscom asked if the better hours are to satisfy existing customers or to bring in more groups. John Feudo noted it is for Town use. The resident asked if the Town rents out to out of towners and John Feudo noted we do, but try to discourage that. John Feudo noted that the Recreation Committee will hold a second hearing once they get the results of the borings. The Town Manager noted that the existing Master Plan is the default - we are just tweaking and making suggestions. Barry Berman noted that we also need the results of the survey before the second hearing. Dave Swyter requested that the foot candles and hours of operation be available at the second hearing. A motion by Sexton seconded by Arena to go into Executive Session to discuss strategy with respect to collective bargaining, and that the Chairman declares that an open meeting may have a detrimental effect on the bargaining position of the body and not to come back into Open Session was approved on a roll call vote with all five members voting in the affirmative.

Flammia as Board Member for this agency effective June 30, 2015. She has honored the Reading Housing Authority by giving us many years of her expertise and service and will be surely missed. She has served with great distinction during numerous consecutive terms as a tenant representative. Her knowledge of the community and this agency's programs only enhanced her ability to serve along side her fellow board members. She has always been supportive of me during my tenure here that began in early 2001 and has continually supported the Reading Housing Authority's vision to not only preserve our existing programs but expand low-income housing in the Town of Reading. Karen has been an invaluable resource in the promotion of creative and innovative housing ideas and supportive housing programs, especially those involving our seniors. The Reading Housing Authority is grateful to her for her many hours of dedicated service to the Authority's mission. On behalf of the Board and the staff of the Reading Housing Authority, we extend her our best wishes. Respec fully, S Lyn E.

It was a powerful and inspiring panel. Many thanks to Selectman Barry Berman who forwarded to me the invitation for this event. The organization is 4 years old and I think would be a great resource. You can learn more about it at http://northshorepride.org . The speakers included a State Representative Paul Tucker,the Mayor of Salem Kimberly Driscoll, an alum of Gordon College Paul Miller, and the executive director of of the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition Mason Dunn. I was surrounded by a diverse audience of articulate and passionate citizens very worried about LBGT suicide, community education, and connecting people to make a positive difference in everyone's lives. There were many ideas that were sparked by the informed panelists. One of them was being aware of the need to diversify our staff, not just with different genders, races, etc. but also with LBGT. Students need inspiring, caring, supportive, and successful role models, they also need to see that their schools and town are open to everyone succeeding, not just those of the majority profile. Yesterday at the North Shore Pride Lunch and Learn, the other thing mentioned aside from diversity in leadership/staff positions which has been mentioned before in terms of diversifying our teaching and administrative staff, is an "HRC (Human Rights Campaign) Municipal Equality Index." This index can be used as a tool to see how welcoming and supportive to LBGT our community is. [http://www.hrc.org/campaigns/municipal-equality-index] I have to say how proud I was to be from Reading yesterday, knowing that the LBGT Community was not shut down when they brought a challenge to our public school's attention. When the realization that gender assigned robes was not appropriate or comfortable, RMHS students and administration worked together to find a solution owned by everyone. There were no fingers pointed, but rather a collaborative effort which communicated respect and acceptance. It does not surprise me that the school facilities are already grappling with the Public Accomodations Law and corresponding bathroom (and locker-room?) needs, even before forced to do so by a law. It was also powerful to know that a portrait of Harvey Milk is being hung in the heart of our school! Mason Dunn, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition, was one of the panelists. His website [www.masstpc.org] has information about the proposed change in Public 1 � � 1 Accommodations Law that is currently being considered by our legislators. I have attached some informational sheets to this email as well. Thank you again Barry for the heads up about this learning opportunity. Have a great day!
