Street, Reading, Massachusetts. Present were Chairman Camille Anthony, Secretary

Hechenbleikner, Town Counsels Joan Langsam and Yvonne Gonzalez, Paula Schena.
Landfill Update
The Town Manager noted that Dickinson wants to pass papers on November 11th which is a
holiday so he suggested November 12th. The $3 million and deed will go into escrow until the
Conservation Commission appeal period is over and the building pen-nits are issued.
Yvonne Gonzalez noted that the letter of credit will be for one year at a time. If the bank
chooses not to renew, then we can go after the full $3 million. The Town Manager noted that the
schedule for the Town to draw is being worked on.
Fraen Settlement
Joan Langsam noted that Fraen wouldn't let us test their property unless we signed the
agreement but she had a problem with the agreement. We did testing around the perimeter of the
site and are waiting for the results. Joan Langsam noted that we will pay them $25,000 and
agree to do paving up to $25,000.
Welch Settlement
Joan Langsam noted that we will put in language that they will comply with Chapter 4013. They
agreed to paving, curbing and sidewalk from their property to Salem Street. They want to wait
until Spring to do paving and sidewalks.
Chainnan Camille Anthony suggested that they get a bond in the full amount. Town Counsel
indicated she will get financial assurances if the work is not done by December 1, 2002.
