Move that the Board of Selectmen adjourn the meeting at p.m. From: Robert W. LeLacheur, Jr. CFA Date: May 11, 2016 RE: BOS Agenda for May 17th 781 - 942 -9043 townmanager@ci.reading.ma.us www.readingma.gov /town - manager Next week the Board will revisit the Paint & Sip liquor application on Haven Street. Recall last meeting the applicant revised the floor plan an hour or two before the meeting; since then the Building Inspector has seen the plan and given his approval, so this item is all set. The Climate Advisory Committee and the Trails Committee will be in to give the Board updates. At 8:10pm a new Hearing for parking regulations in the Hartshorne Avenue and Bancroft Avenue area will be held. Because of a resident's suggestion of increasing the area to be regulated, we sent out a larger public notification of this Hearing. As you will see, staff led by the Police department has no objection to the 10pm posting on Bancroft instead of 8pm if that is what those residents wish, nor is there an objection to posting Hartshorne to be resident parking only for the same hours. However the suggestion of safety concerns on Hanscom Avenue is not recommended. As yet there have been no safety issues because of visibility. If parking is shifted to this location because of the other regulations then the Police will monitor it. Short of an emergency it should be taken up next fall as part of a project review. If safety is a concern then there will need to be no parking at all in the area during those posted hours — if it is unsafe for non - resident cars then it is just as unsafe for residents. A brief discussion about some wayfinding'signage near Morton Field will follow. I have seen preliminary designs and they match the style done in other parts of the community. Selectmen, Town Administrator Mike Gilleberto and DPW staff from North Reading will then be present to give the community an update on the MWRA project that we have been assisting them with for almost two years. Finally you have two liquor license issues — the first is a request for a change in Beneficial Interest at Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. After a discussion with Town Counsel it seems prudent to let the ABCC do a vetting of the new owners (institutional investors through an investment firm) and for the Board to simply approve the request. The second is a transfer to a new owner at Ristorante Pavarotti — recall one was approved previously and then a request was made to cancel that approval. This is a new buyer. �V_ yC Office of the Town Manager `^ 16 Lowell Street 6J�INCOkp��P Reading, MA 01867 To: Board of Selectmen From: Robert W.

LeLacheur, Jr. CFA Date: May 11, 2016 RE: Water abatement request 781 - 942 -9043 townmanager @ci.reading.ma.us www.readingma.gov /town - manager Kasie Moriarty and her husband Michael at 106 County Road have been in touch with us for a couple of months regarding low water pressure. They purchased the home early in 2016, and the prior occupant had never notified the town of any issues. An investigation by DPW staff did indeed conclude that the water pressure was unacceptably low and needed to be fixed by the town. A long term fix is already in the capital plan in three to five years when two pump stations in the area will be consolidated to one. Meanwhile a short -term fix is also the town's responsibility. After a discussion with Town Counsel, the best approach is to have the homeowner purchase and install some equipment that the water department provided advice on. The town should pay for this equipment plus installation cost through the Water Enterprise Fund through an abatement of water bills paid. Since these residents have only recently moved, abating all past and current bills are not sufficient to pay the cost, but they agreed that a promise of future abatements until the accounts are squared up was fine with them. The total estimated costs are less than $2,000. I request that the Board approve the following motion at your next meeting so that we may draw up an agreement between the town and these residents to remedy the situation: "Move that the Board of Selectmen acting in their role as Water and Sewer Commissioners agree to fully abate the May 2016 cost of equipment and installation at 106 County Road in order to remedy a low water pressure situation. This abatement will be funded by the Water Enterprise Fund and include all water bills previously paid in fiscal year 2016 by the current residents, and continue for all future water bills for these residents until the above costs have been fully repaid by the town."

I can probably count on one hand the number of times I have emailed the Board of Selectman in the 30 years I've lived in Reading. My main question is what is going on with the roads. I understand there is probably a lot of paving forthcoming. BUT, why is preliminary work being done so far in advance of the paving? I live on Warren Ave and use Minot Street every day. It's like multiple bombs went off on Minot Street. I drive around & know there are other streets in similar condition. It's very frustrating & quite frankly just plain embarrassing.

We were aware that North Reading agreed to site the pump station elsewhere in North Reading, and RHC is very appreciative. As I noted however, we remain concerned about the water main line running into North Reading, and proposed to run through the archeological site. I do understand from my conversations with the Wright- Pierce folks that plans have not yet been finalized. However, as they stated in the DEIR and have reiterated in my conversations with them, they intend the line to run within the Mill Street right of way and in some fashion across the Ipswich River via or near the Mill Street Bridge. That area, and the Mill Street Bridge specifically, is an integral portion of the archeological site. This is what we'd like to discuss with you; specifically Reading's position on that and any action Reading representatives intend to pursue and advocate for in relation to that aspect of the plan. At an earlier meeting and again at last week's meeting, Wright- Pierce folks responded to RHC's concern by suggesting they could alternatively consider tunneling under the river at that point, an option which, from an engineering viewpoint, they noted is fairly routine and has been done in several other cases. RHC will continue to strongly advocate for that option, and the Reading Conservation Commission representatives previously supported that position as well. We would be most interested in discussing your position on that, and any actions you, the BOS and other Town representatives might take with respect to it. I am glad to hear that RHC's comments have been discussed at Town staff meetings; RHC would be most interested to know the substance and outcome of those discussions. I will plan to attend the BOS meeting tomorrow around 8:15, and look forward to that discussion.

As a part of the DEIR process, RHC has submitted two formal comment letters to North Reading, Reading and State representatives involved in the process, expressing the Commission's comments and specific concerns about the project and its adverse impact on the Lob's Pound Mill site. I have also attended and participated on behalf of RHC, in numerous public meetings by North Reading representatives regarding the project. Even though North Reading has agreed already to move the proposed pump station elsewhere than on the Lob's Pound Mill site, we continue to have significant concerns about remaining adverse impacts on the site from the proposed water pipe connection and piping across the site. It would be helpful and useful to RHC in fulfilling its responsibilities as a representative of the Town, to meet with Reading's other representatives to best understand the full scope of Reading's interests and position in the project. > At the recent meeting in North Reading, I learned that North Reading representatives will be meeting with Reading's Board of Selectmen this Tuesday regarding the project. I'm disappointed that, as agents of the Town with some Z U7/1 responsibility for and much expressed interest in this project, RHC did not learn of this meeting via Reading's Town Hall. Where possible, RHC would respectfully request some direct advance notification of future meetings in relation to this project and in which the Commission is permitted to participate. > I look forward to hearing from you regarding your thoughts and any available dates /times to meet with you. > Best, > Jonathan 0�� LEGAL NOTICE TOWN OF READING To.the Inhabitants of the Town of Reading: Please ' take notice that the Board of Selectmen of 'the Town of Reading will hold a public hearing on May .17, . 2016 at 9:10 p.m. .in the Selectmen's.

The CVS lot will have Police to help cross the street and scouts will help carry plants. The Board thanked them for their hard work. Council on Aging Update - Elder Services Administrator Jane Burns and several Council on Aging members were present. Jane Burns noted that a Town wide survey was taken by 378 people in February and she has the preliminary results. The top rated programs include: socialization at the Pleasant Street Center; communication; medical transportation; the Elder Human Services /Van. The biggest challenges for elders is health, then financial, and companionship /relationships. Jane Burns noted that it is helpful having the Nurse Advocate social services at the Center. Social services involves many hours of relationship building. The need for social services is increasing. Barry Berman asked what steps they take to find the elders in need and Jane Burns noted that they hear from the Police and Fire a lot. The paramedics break down the barriers. They have also received referrals from the Library and Mystic Valley Elder Services is a two way relationship. Jane Burns noted that last August they dealt with three homeless situations. They also work with RCASA regarding addiction in seniors. John Halsey asked what the data is to determine if they need more staff and Jane Burns noted they are looking at that now. She also noted that they are not the only ship in. the water and they have many strong partners. John Arena asked if the total population growing or is use and intendancy growing. Jane Burns noted she would have to get that information. ` Jane Burns noted that they have two vans now that take trips to the grocery stores, downtown, and YMCA. The vans made 6000 trips. The medical transportation does approximately 78 rides per month. Over the past year 1000 seniors visited the Center over 10,000 times. Jane Burns noted that future planning includes; review of comparable communities; communication of programs and services via Facebook, Website. She did thank the Board for the electronic sign in. There are space constraints at the Pleasant Street Center and some programs cannot be offered due to lack of space. Dinners and special events sell out quickly and they can only accommodate 70 people. Page 1 2 Cam% la v Board of Selectmen Minutes - Mav 3, 2016 - Daae 3 John Arena asked if there are any thoughts to regionalize and Jane Burns noted they have not looked at going out of town. They are looking for space in town that is handicap accessible. MAPC Member Report - MAPC Rep Steve Sadwick was present. He noted that Reading is in the North Suburban Planning Council. They are working on the transportation improvement plan and the Town had hired MAPC to work on the hazard mitigation plan. MAPC has finalized the Economic Development Plan. Steve Sadwick noted that the zoning workshop that was held was great. He suggests the town look at the strategy of the parking plan. He feels the funding of the Economic Development Planner will help to implement the Economic Development Plan. He feels the services that the MAPC is providing today are so much better than 10 years ago. RCTV Report - Kathi Crook, Stephen Goldy, John Carpenter and Phil Rushworth were present. Kathi Crook noted that the present meeting coverage is 62.50 hours. At this time last year it was 39.5 hours. They covered 14 hours of 40B meetings. RCTV is working hard to make sure we have fiber in all of the buildings. The Library Community Room will have a mini work station. They are talking to the Schools about getting back in there. They are combining theater with technical. The annual meeting is May 19th and they will do a 72 hour film festival. In addition they are planning on upcoming contracts. John Arena asked about coverage of High School athletics and it was noted that the plan going forward is to talk with the High School about getting parent groups to cover events. John Arena suggested they might get better coverage with seniors. He also suggested giving the students credits for the programs. John Arena suggested they put a small room at the High School and it was noted that there is no room there. The Town Manager noted that the High School changed their schedule to staggered which makes it impossible to schedule. Review Town Manager Goals - The Town Manager reviewed his goals. Regionalization - The Town Manager noted that regionalization goals have been met. He has strengthened community relationships and examined Town /School. He has talked with other communities regarding regionalization of senior services and they are not interested in crossing the borders. Facilities is working out great and the shared Human Resource person with the schools is working out great. Explore public /private partnerships - he is working on a survey. Performance Measurement - The peer community data is good and it is helpful to Town and Schools. Communication is doing well. Board, Committee and Commission communication needs improvements. See Click Fix is going well. The 911 is coming up for renewal and it might be time for a change. Strategic planning is being done. He doesn't know where a Master Plan Committee fits in because we are doing so much it almost seems like it is being done by piece meal. Real Estate - The Post Office is moving across the street. The Town Manager noted that he knows the person purchasing the Post Office and working with the federal government has been difficult. Review Downtown Parking - This has been looked at and it was determined that there is plenty of parking It's just not where people want it to be. Page 13 �� �/ Board of Selectmen Minutes - May 3, 2016 - page 4 Recreation Improvements - These are low on his list. The lighting is being done. DPW Location - The Town Manager noted that the Permanent Building Committee met last night and they have narrowed down to two cemeteries for the Cemetery Garage. Six neighbors of Wood End showed up and they are not happy. Library Project - The project is going slow. The construction manager quit two weeks ago. It is more important to do it right than do it fast. Oakland Road - This is on Town Counsel's lap. The Town Manager noted that a new Town Engineer was appointed on Monday. The Town Manager noted that he would like to meet with a couple of Selectmen to review the Selectmen's Policies. Daniel Ensminger asked if the MMA has model policies. The Town Manager noted that he needs to spend more time on financial planning. The financial calendar for neighborhood meetings includes: June 1 at Coolidge Middle School at 7:00 p.m.; June 7 at the Pleasant Street Center at 1:00 p.m.; and June 16 at Parker Middle School at 7:00 p.m. August 16th is the last day to close the Warrant. Financial Update - The Town Manager noted that he and John Halsey met with the Assessor. He identified three articles to address elderly tax payers. We can expand the Senior Tax Work amount from $750 to $1000. We currently have 20 folks in the Senior Tax Work Program. In addition, there is the Senior In Home which requires a Home Rule Petition. Anyone who files for the circuit breaker would qualify for this. People will need to apply each year and this will be a burden on staff. He recommends graduate per income so that the less you earn the more you save. He recommends setting the objective at $500,000. We have two options - Option 1 is to leave $500,000 on the table and Option 2 is to redefine revenue within residential. Barry Berman suggested finding out what the people have to say. The Town Manager noted that it is up to the Board of Selectmen on whether it gets tied into the override. He recommends tying into the FY18 budget. He noted that the community who did this found out they had a much larger amount who qualified but Victor Santaniello already knows the numbers for us. He noted that this can go the next Town Meeting. The Town Manager noted that the third option is that the homeowner can defer taxes until the house is sold or the person dies. The risk with this is if the person passes away while they own the house they pay 8% in taxes instead of 4 %. John Arena asked what the interest rate is on arrears and the Town Manager noted 16% set by State law. Barry Berman noted when we ask for the override we will ask if people will pay more to help the elderly. If we give too much information people might default to no. John Halsey noted that we have to give people credit on understanding. John Arena noted that we have to talk about why we are here. Nobody did anything bad - it's the health insurance costs. The Town Manager asked if we should talk about peers and Barry Berman noted yes. John Arena noted we could talk about peers but the residents won't get anything out of it. Hearing - Application for Wine and Malt General on Premise Liquor License for the Art Lounge on Haven, 78 Haven Street - Attorney Brad Latham, Judy Barolak and her husband were present. Attorney Latham gave the certified green cards to the Town Manager. Page 1 4 0 �avy Board of Selectmen Minutes - May 3, 2016 - page 5 Attorney Latham noted that the floor plan has changed. The door to the back area was not shown and the bathroom door on the side was not there. The back room will be locked. Their hope is that the patrons will go to restaurants afterwards. They will attend the class and have a glass of beer or wine and drinks will be limited to no more than two drinks per person and classes are no long than three hours. There will be no more than 24 people at one time. The Town Manager noted that the applicant came in late today with the floor plan change and he suggests the Board continue the hearing to allow time for staff to review the change in plan. John Arena asked about our unused licenses and the Town Manager noted that the Board needs to determine if any future applicants serve a public need. It is also first come first serve. John Arena noted that previously he was in favor of this but he is afraid of unintended consequences on someone we don't want. He suggests the Board of Selectmen decide a framework for the remaining licenses. Barry Berman noted that our Economic Development Plan recommends clustering restaurants. John Arena asked if the intent is to have more than one class per evening and Judy Barolak noted she could start one on Saturday afternoons. John Arena noted that on page 59 the corporation says food and Attorney Latham responded that the corporation is allowed to serve food but will not be serving food. Barry Berman asked if the displays will be moving in and out and Judy Barolak noted that the left side will be emptied out. The Town Manager recommended continuing the hearing until May 17 at 7:20 p.m. A motion by Berman seconded by Ensminger that the Board of Selectmen continue the hearing on the application for a Wine and Malt General on Premise Liquor License for The Art Lounge on Haven, 78 Haven Street to May 17, 2016 at 7:20 p.m. was approved by a vote of 5 -0 -0.
