Last year I worked on my Silver Award for Girl Scouts. I needed to find a problem in my community to solve and make sure that it would always be solved. I decided to address friendship and inclusion and raised money for a Buddy Bench to put at each elementary school and the RISE preschool in Reading. Dr. Doherty helped me so much and gave me permission to talk with the principals about my idea. Many people supported me while I worked on my project and made donations to help me achieve my goal. Mrs. King told my story to a reporter at Channel 5 and Erika Tarantal came to interview me at Coolidge in May. Dr. Doherty, would you please play the interview? So after that, I got a lot more donations and we were able to order all the benches we needed. Part of what I had to do for my project was make sure that the problem would be fixed for many years, if not forever. So I asked Shawn Callan to make a video of me and my f riends. Dr. Doherty, would you please play the video? Now the principals have the video to show their students at assemblies and students will know how to use it. No one should be alone like I was sometimes at school and I hope that the Buddy Bench is a tool that all students will be able to use. S�2 Thank you again for having me and supporting my project. 3, a 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 October 25, 2016 at 7:20 p.m. in the Selectmen's Meeting Room, 16 Lowell Street, Reading, Massachusetts on approving amendments to the Non - Union FY17 Classification Plan.

He noted that while he was there an elderly person passed out and the Fire Department was able to get in and out okay including using the elevator which they would not have been able to do in the old Library. Kevin Sexton asked if the Selectmen will get a tour and the Town Manager noted he will find out. Kevin Sexton noted that he hopes to see some historical items there. John Halsey asked Barry Berman if there has been any discussion with the Library Trustees regarding the Historical Commission having space there and Barry Berman noted that they have been focusing on just getting the project done. Public Comment - Bill Brown noted that he gave the Town Manager the latest rendition of Oakland Road and he noted the property was taken in 1939, not 1937. Town Manager's Report - The Town Manager noted that the Mass Selectmen's Association is having their annual conference on October 29th and they should let Paula Schena know if they plan on attending. He also noted that there is a letter in the handout from Kevin Bohmiller inviting at least one Selectman to give remarks at the Veteran's Day ceremony on November 111h I'm Page I 1 Board of Selectmen Minutes - October 4, 2016 - page 2 Discussion /Action Items Close Warrant for Presidential and State Elections 11 -8 -16 - John Halsey asked when the early voting will start and Town Clerk Laura Gemme noted October 24, 2016. She also noted that absentee ballots are available now for the Special Election. A motion by Berman seconded by Ensminger to close the Warrant for the November 8, 2016 Presidential and State Elections was approved on a roll call vote with all five members voting in the affirmative. Vote Warrant Articles #14 - #23 (land use and General Bylaw) for Subsequent Town Meeting November 14, 2016 - The Town Manager noted that Article 14 is to abandon a drainage easement. Article 15 is to abandon streets on Oakland Road. In November 2011, Town Meeting discontinued the public ways when it should have been private ways. This will correct that. Article 16 is to reauthorize the Board of Selectmen to sell real estate on Oakland Road. There is no specific Town use for the land at this time. The Selectmen can designate a use or just solicit proposals. Article 17 allows the Town Clerk to make alphanumeric corrections to the Charter. Article 18 is a new General Bylaw authorizing revolving funds. Article 19 is the new storm water management and erosion Bylaw. CPDC will be discussing this at their next meeting so the Selectmen might want to defer until after CPDC gives their opinion. Article 20 recognizes through a Bylaw that there is a Department of Public Works. Article 21 is a General Bylaw regarding temporary repairs on private ways. Our behavior will not change, only the liability will. We can also charge for repairs. Article 22 establishes a storm water utility that we already have. Article 23 brings us into compliance with the Federal regulations regarding the illicit connections and discharge to storm drain system. A motion by Berman seconded by Ensminger that the Board of Selectmen recommend the subiect matter of Articles 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22 and 23 of the November 14, 2016 Subsequent Town Meeting was approved on a roll call vote with all five members voting in the affirmative. A motion by Berman seconded by Ensminger that the Board of Selectmen recommend the subiect matter of Article 21 of the November 14, 2016 Subseauent Town Meeting was approved on a roll call vote with Halsey, Berman, Arena, and Ensminger voting in the affirmative and Sexton abstaining. Cemetery Building Project - Joint Meeting with the Permanent Building Committee, the Finance Committee and the Board of Cemetery Trustees - The Permanent Building Committee, Finance Committee and Board of Cemetery Trustees all called to order at 8:00 p.m. The Town Manager noted that the Permanent Building Committee has been in to see the Selectmen a couple of times. They have worked on the cemetery building and drafted Bylaw revisions. The biggest change in the Bylaw is defining the Permanent Building Committee and at what point do other members join them. They feel a project needs to get Page 1 2 Board of Selectmen Minutes - October 4, 2016 - page 3 further into the process before bringing in other members. They recommend that only three elected Boards can bring a project to the Permanent Building Committee. The elected Boards need to be the gatekeepers of the money. The instructional motion by Mark Dockser was for the Permanent Building Committee to review and determine a solution to resolve the physical space needs of the cemetery department. Since Town Meeting, the Facilities Department has taken control and has made the building safer so the urgency is not as great as it was then. Permanent Building Committee Chairman Gregory Stepler noted that the committee was formed in October 2015. Their immediate task was to evaluate the cemetery building and establish guidelines for the committee. They developed a flowchart to be used. They started the process of what they needed, developed a matrix regarding the site selection with two cemeteries as possible locations and created an OPM request for services. John Halsey noted that it sounds like there was no intention of going beyond outside of the cemeteries. Greg Stepler noted that was correct because the data that was available to them said there were no opportunities outside of cemeteries and they didn't have the instructional motion. John Halsey noted that the instructional motion had a different path than what they were doing. In addition, the Permanent Building Committee has dealt with unfavorable opposition that wasn't deserving and the data they were given was not the best information. Greg Stepler noted that the Permanent Building Committee should evaluate every option not just what one group wants to hear. Barry Berman noted that the Permanent Building Committee was formed and Town Meeting asked them to solve the cemetery building problem. They figured out a way and a process but it wasn't a project yet. He feels a good value came out of the process. Greg Stepler noted that the instructional motion short circuited the first half of the process. John Halsey noted that some of the material that was provided was flawed i.e. no other Town property to use. Greg Stepler noted that was correct because otherwise they would have asked for a list of Town owned land. John Halsey noted that the Board of Selectmen owes the Permanent Building Committee an apology. John Arena noted that the Board of Selectmen and Finance Committee were against this but the Town Meeting instructional motion bypassed that so what do we do now? John Halsey noted that nothing can be done until there is funding. We have two Warrant Articles that have money going to the design. The Board of Selectmen and the Finance Committee can vote on them and then Town Meeting. Greg Stepler reviewed the Committee's Bylaw revisions. The process includes taking input, evaluate and then make a recommendation. There is no project at this point. They would then make a report to Town Meeting. Town Meeting then approves the project and gives the Permanent Building Committee temporary members. Greg Stepler noted that the sponsoring agency is the gatekeeper so they won't have advisory committees going to Permanent Building Committee. The application process includes a statement of interest to feed the Permanent Building Committee information. Bill Brown noted that this circumvents the Charter because anybody can put an Article on the Warrant. John Halsey noted that an Article is different than an application to the Permanent Building Committee. Bill Brown asked why the Cemetery Board was invited tonight. He noted there is a critical need to replace that building and they have a brand new truck sitting outside. Putting them down at the DPW Garage is not efficient. John Halsey noted that is a process that not one of the Committees here tonight can decide. We have heard from the abutters and we would be ill advised to put a financial commitment in play. Bill Brown noted that the Weston and 6A3 Page 1 3 Board of Selectmen Minutes - October 4, 2016 - page 4 Sampson report said there is no room at the DPW site. The Town Manager noted that report is outdated and in his opinion that report was flawed. Kevin Sexton noted that there has not been a full evaluation. We've looked too narrowly at parcels we own right now. The Permanent Building Committee model is phenomenal and he wasn't aware that the Permanent Building Committee didn't have all of the information needed. He recommends pressing the reset button on this. Elise Ciregna, Chairman of the Board of Cemetery Trustees, noted that the idea of reset is okay but what will it take to get the right information. John Halsey noted that a list of everything the Town owns is available but the Permanent Building Committee was told there was none. He also noted that to spend capital without due process in advance is inappropriate. In addition, this committee needs a certain amount of money to do its work. John Arena departed from the meeting at 8:45 p.m. Finance Committee Chairman Mark Dockser noted that he wrote that instructional motion. He noted that we had a project for many years that needed to be vetted. He's sorry it was a painful process for the Permanent Building Committee. The Town Manager noted that there has been discussion with past and current DPW staff. The study that was done was done cheaply with a predetermined result. If the Permanent Building Committee goes forward then it will be a good process. In FY16 $200,000 was allocated for the process. He kept $50,000 of the $200,000 for an OPM. In April Town Meeting took $150,000 for facilities but the money was not used by June 30th so it went back to free cash. There is a financial mechanism in Article 11 to remove the $150,000. Greg Stepler noted having some money available is critical to get the data they need to make a decision. John Halsey asked if $100,000 in a revolving fund is appropriate and Greg Stepler indicated it is. The Town Manager noted he didn't know if a revolving fund is appropriate, he thinks it would be better to have a budget line. He would like to see an annual funding in facilities and he would add another line in facilities for the cemetery building. David Traniello asked if the $100,000 has been allocated to facilities for the Permanent Building Committee and the Town Manager indicated yes if the Finance Committee approves it tonight. Bill Brown asked if a project over $2.5 million has to go to the voters and the Town Manager noted that $1.5 - $2 million is excluded debt and the policy is not binding. Elise Ciregna noted that the Cemetery Board is satisfied with the discussion tonight and thanked the Board for the invitation. The Cemetery Board voted to adjourn at 9:20 p.m. Barry Berman thanked the Permanent Building Committee and the Permanent Building Committee adjourned at 9:21 p.m. Vote Warrant Articles #3 - #13 for Subsequent Town meeting 11 -14 -16 - Vanessa Alvarado asked if the $100,000 will be used at the discretion of the Permanent Building Committee and the Town Manager noted that if we don't hire an OPM for $50,000 then the money cannot be used for any other purpose. The $50,000 from last year is iron clad but there can be some leeway for the $150,000 for this process. John Halsey noted this fuels the spirit of the instructional motion. Page 1 4 Board of Selectmen Minutes - October 4, 2016 - page 5 Barry Berman asked if we don't build a cemetery garage is the money lost and the Town Manager noted the money goes back to free cash at the end of the fiscal year. Vanessa Alvarado asked how long the result of the research is valid. The Town Manager noted that none of their work will have a dollar amount so it will be timeless. Mark Dockser asked at what point do we get a cost estimate and the Town Manager noted after the design process. David Neshat asked about the $125,000 budget amendment for the security evaluation. The Town Manager noted this might not be capital it just might be a process. Mark Dockser asked what the total for cleaning services is and the Town Manager noted that we had to change cleaning companies and the Town is $200,000 and the Schools $290,000. The Town Manager noted that these numbers are not final numbers so what they see at Town Meeting might change. Vanessa Alvarado asked if any other buildings are being looked at. The Town Manager noted that Killam and the DPW Garage have been discussed but nobody has asked the Permanent Building Committee to spend any money on those. Vanessa Alvarado asked if there are any concerns regarding the override and the cemetery project and the Town Manager indicated no, that is why the Permanent Building Committee was formed. A motion that the Finance Committee recommends the subiect matter of Article 11 as amended was approved by a vote of 8 -0 -0. A motion by Berman seconded by EnsminAer that the Board of Selectmen recommends the subject matter of Article 11 as amended was approved by a vote of 4 -0 -0. Brian O'Mara, Precinct 1, asked what does that mean now since the RFP was put out with a narrow scope. The Town Manager noted that he will talk to the Procurement Officer about redoing it to increase the scope. Rick Nazzaro, Precinct 1, thanked the Board for taking the residents comments in opposition and thank the Permanent Building Committee for them. Daniel Ensminger noted that the Weston and Sampson report is outdated. The issue of a DPW Garage is an issue also. When will they look at that? John Halsey noted that they will hopefully consider that when they are looking at alternatives. The Town Manager noted that Article 3 is changes to the Capital Plan. Mark Dockser noted that the enterprise fund timing is being delayed to future years. A motion by McNeice seconded by Moll that the Finance Committee recommends the subject matter of Article 3 was approved by a vote of 8 -0 -0. Peter Lydecker will give the report. The Town Manager noted that Article 4 is to dispose of surplus. A motion by Moll seconded by Neshat that the Finance Committee recommends the subiect matter of Article 4 was approved by a vote of 8 -0 -0. Marc Moll will give the report. The Town Manager noted that Article 5 is to rescind Library debt authorization. Gis Page 1 5 Board of Selectmen Minutes - October 4, 2016 - paae 6 A motion by McNeice seconded by Alvarado that the Finance Committee recommends the subiect matter of Article 5 was approved by a vote of 8 -0 -0. Vanessa Alvarado will give the report. The Town Manager noted that Article 6 is to clear debt off the books. A motion by Landry seconded by Alvarado that the Finance Committee recommends the subiect matter of Article 6 was approved by a vote of 8 -0 -0. The Town Manager noted that Article 7 is to transfer previous debt. He noted that previously issued debt in the amount of $140,000 has to be used towards a project and he suggests moving it to the library project. The last estimate shows we are $149,000 over and another $100,000 disputed. If Town Meeting authorizes he can pay. He prefers to close the project out as fast as possible. Mark Dockser noted that he was shocked that we have an overage on the Library project. He asked if it was core costs or items such as furniture. The Town Manager noted that there was a lot of ledge in the rear parking lot that we didn't know about. In addition, the condition of the existing building fundamental structure was very poor and it was uncovered when the walls were taken down. We also took three ways to make sure the Library doesn't flood again. Barry Berman noted that there were a number of things including the retaining wall on Deering Street. That was originally not part of the budget but we rebuilt it right at the cost of $100,000. The overage has to be paid and in the overall scheme of things it is not that much over. Mark Dockser asked if anything was done outside of the budget. The Town Manager noted that RCTV built a place for their equipment; the Library Trustees paid $180,000 for the book sorter; and DPW did some site work. The Library Trustees did not do fundraising up front. Daniel Ensminger asked if the $140,000 covers the outside lighting and the Town Manager noted he was not sure and he just found out that the lights cannot be dimmed - they either have to be on or off. Paul McNeice noted he was extremely disappointed that the Library Trustees have not done fundraising. Vanessa Alvarado noted that Friends of the Library have contributed a large amount of money so there are donations coming in. The Town Manager noted that any construction work has to be in the $18.9 million cap. A motion by McNeice seconded by Neshat that the Finance Committee recommends the subiect matter of Article 7 was approved by a vote of 8 -0 -0. David Neshat will give the report. The Town Manager noted that Article 8 is to transfer debt to water projects. A motion by Moll seconded by Alvarado that the Finance Committee recommends the subiect matter of Article 8 was approved by a vote of 8 -0 -0. Paul McNeice will give the report. The Town Manager noted that Article 9 authorizes the grant loan program in the sewer enterprise fund. A motion by McNeice seconded by Moll that the Finance Committee recommends the subiect matter of Article 9 was approved by a vote of 8 -0 -0. Paul McNeice will give the report. �✓j Page 1 6 Board of Selectmen Minutes - October 4, 2016 - page 7 The Town Manager noted that Article 10 is to add more Library debt but the odds are less than 2% that we will need this and it can't be approved tonight because we don't have a number. The Town Manager noted that Article 12 is to pay prior year bills. A motion by Moll seconded by Alvarado that the Finance Committee recommends the subject matter of Article 12 was approved by a vote of 8 -0 -0. Eric Burkhart will give the report. The Town Manager noted that Article 13 is for the Retirement Cost of Living increase. There is not enough information to vote on this. A motion by Berman seconded by Ensminger that the Board of Selectmen recommends the subject matter of Articles 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 of the November 14, 2016 Subseauent Town Meeting was approved by a vote of 4 -0 -0.
