July 21, 1992
The Board of Selectmen met in Executive Session at approximately
9:35 p.m. in the Conference Room, 16 Lowell Street, Reading, Mas-
sachusetts. Present were Chairman Dan Ensminger, Vice Chairman
George Hines, Selectmen Eugene Nigro and Bill Burditt, Town Coun-
sel H Theodore Cohen, Town Manager Peter Hechenbleikner.
The Board reviewed Town Counsel's comments on the proposed ice
rink lease negotiation positions, as well as the Town Manager's
comments. Issues discussed were lease extensions, when the title
gets turned over to the Town, the start date of the lease - hours
of operation, and definition of major events.
At 10:05 p.m. Nelson Burbank, Ken Latham and Brad Latham attended
the meeting. The memo from Brad Latham dated 7/16/92 was
reviewed. Mr. Latham went over the memo in detail to clarify the
issues. The Board established a meeting for August 18 starting
at 8 : 00 p.m. in Executive Session. Ted Cohen and Brad Latham
will work on the lease outline. Ted Cohen and the Town Manager
will meet with the CPDC Chairman and either Dan Ensminger or
George Hines.
The Town Manager reviewed a proposed settlement to the Police
Contract. The Board reviewed the Contract. They were satisfied
with all issues except that the draft called for a minimum man-
ning clause which would have a sunset clause of June 30, 1993 .
The Board felt this would be setting a dangerous precedent and
would be hard to negotiate out. The Board rejected the proposed
settlement on that grounds. They did agree to look at the pos-
sibility of a lump sum clothing allowance if that would help to
settle the contract.
On motion by Hines seconded by Nigro the Board voted to adjourn
the Executive Session. All four members present voted in the af-
firmative and the Executive Session was adjourned at 11: 05 p.m.
