Angstrom, Miller, rrcr*ci- an Santaniello; Ha Goal #1 Comprehensive financial review through FY2025 & FY2030 100916 Complete. Financial review modelling done through 2030; extensive public review & discussion. Goal #2 Local Real estate Tax Policy 100% Complete. Home Rule Petition approved by September Town Meeting; extensive public discussion. Goal #3 Projects outside of Tax Levy 100% Complete. This goal is to identify projects and plan a strategy moving forward. September Town Meeting approved a Capital Plan (blue pages), where the Facilities department (now under Town control) presents more detailed information. Goal #4 Gather feedback from the Community on the balance of resources and services 100% Complete. Three Community Listening Meeings held; September 1st Community Financial Forum is planned. If an October Override fails, this topic may need revisiting for FY18 budget cuts? Goal #5 Provide Information to the Community 100% Complete. Several public meetings have been held and extensive douments have been released and reviewed. Overviews written on both Senior Tax Relief and the Override for September TM. Town Manager and a Selectman have released information to the print media. IR2020 -2 Operational Efficiency Angstrom Chair; Delios, Jenkins, Furilla, Cabuzzi, LeLacheur; Ensminger Goal #6 Resource sharing with other communities & organizations 100% complete. The Town is always looking for regionalization opportunities to provide efficiency/ savings. Currently, the Assessor position is regionalized with Wakefield. In FY16 a Regional Housing Coordinator was hired. This position is shared with Saugus, N. Reading and Wilmington. North Reading has been very helpful with a transition in our Health division and we are exploring options to continue a relationship in conjunction with our new Health Agent. We are in ongoing discussions with 8 -10 communities for a range of issues, with a focus on DPW. Goal #7 Master Plan for Human /Elder Services 100% complete. The UMass Boston Gerontology Institute has produced a Master Plan for Elder Services. This will be combined with the survey by the MAPC into a final plan. Since the Override failed, no forward action that requires funding should be expected on this plan for now. Anew facility perhaps widening to be a Community Center should be considered. Goal #8 Gather internal operations data 90% complete. The FY18 budget process incorporated many changes in terms of presenting information to Town Meeting. DPW Policy review is final step and that is nearing completion. Goal #9 Conduct Peer comparisons as warranted & relevant 100% complete. The Economic Development Liaison and Town Manager have built an extensive Peer Community database that will be previewed with the Selectmen on April 20th. While the immediate use is for studying levers of economic development, the framework can tackle many other areas within the organization. Broadly, there is better statewide school data than there is municiapl government data. Goal #10 Continue to integrate and leverage technology 100% complete. An employee committee helped change our community alerts vendor to Code Red, which works well with our other systems. Next year we will more closely examine some MUNIS features. ��i R2020 -3 Communication Kraunelis Chair; Lannon Waring, Zager, Miller, Furilla, Jackson, Clark, Feudo, Lelacheur; Sexton) Goal #11 Review Selectmen's Policies - Article 2 Appointed Boards 90% complete. The Executive Assistant and Town Manager have compiled an extensive background and foundation on all appointed boards, including local and state legislative impacts. Remaining work is an agenda item to discuss next steps, scheduled for May /June '17. #12 Improve communications between Appointed Boards & both BOS and the community = =J 50% complete. Progress on this goal received a major setback when the Community Services Director position needed to be eliminated after the failed Override (it was vacant at the time). This item will need to be discussed further, a scaled back effort in Public Services will give more support to the ZBA as they are very busy with 40B projects. Staffing support for volunteer boards is a challenge. Goal #13 Cable Negotiations: complete by November 2018 85% complete (FV17 portion). We have solicited feedback from area towns and from Town Counsel on what legal help to enlist. We have collected all legal contracts and are reviewing the agreement with RCTV. Currently RCTV is conducting a survey of the community. Annual Town Meeting has just approved funding for legal services, so we have begun the procurement process. Goal #14 Website continuous improvements 100% complete. A migration to a new software under the some vendor allows for handheld devices to have much better functionality with the website. Following this transition, departments reviewed their portions of the website to make sure content is current and accurate. The Town may have too much information available, compared to Peer Communities. Content will be a future focus. Goal #15 Complete Library Building project and Assess Communication needs 100% complete. The Library Building project has been extremely challenging and certainly shows the wisdom of creating a Permanent Building Committee to oversee any future projects. The Town acquired the services of a good Owner's Project Manager, but a large portion of work has fallen on the shoulders of the Facilities Director, Assistant DPW Director and Town Manager in descending order. Future projects should consider town staffing to ensure that a strong inside hands remains in control, in conjunction with the PBC. The former Library Director and the Architect worked offline against protocol and we are our best to bring the project in under budget. ray IR2020 -4 Policy Burns Chair; Kraunelis, Segalla; Jenkins, Kinsella, Perkins, Schena, LeLacheur; Arena) Goal #16 Targeted Review of General Bylaws (Nov'16 Town Meeting) 100% Complete. Several General Bylaws suggested by Town Counsel were completed by November Town Meeting; the Bylaw Committee has created a list of changes meant for November 2017 Town Meeting. Goal #17 Review Selectmen's Policies - Article 1 Operating Procedures /Charter 80% Complete. We have reviewed policies internally, and have discussed with Town Counsel. Some of the Policies have rarely if ever been - followed. A periodic policy review should be undertaken after this comprehensive review is complete. Town Manager Policies also exist in a similar fashion, and should be folded into Selectmen's Personnel or other Polices as is appropriate. A KENO policy is needed for FY18. The review and change to the Liquor licenses policy is complete. The Board of Selectmen approved the Liquor license Changes. A Home Rule petition was filed and was passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor. The issue with finger printing has been resolved. Goal #18 Review Selectmen's Policies - Article 3 Licenses 90% Complete. Excellent progress has been made on most of these licenses. Remaining areas to be investigated either relate to economic development efforts or new societal items (such as Uber or Air BNB). Goal #19 Complete Legal Review of all union collective bargaining contracts 95% Complete. All FY18 contracts have been ratified and approved by the BOS except for Facilities. The retired HR Administrator has completed a thorough review of all AFSCME contracts (4 unions: DPW & Facilities). We will assess the legal work needed for FY18 after July 1st as she will continue in this role. Goal #20 Complete Review of Town Personnel Policies 95% Complete. An employee committee has met to discuss these policies for over one year. In terms of attracting and retaining employees, policies and compensation both play key roles. The HR Director has presented a draft version to the Selectmen. After all FY contracts are settled, the Town Manager will meet with all Town Unions to review this draft version - this cannot begin until Facilities have settled however. The Selectmen should see a final suggested versdion within 30 -60 days of the Town Manager/ union meeting. IR2020 -5 Long Term Planning Delios Chair; LeLacheur, Huggins, Kinsella, Lannon, Mercier; Berman Goal #21 Economic Development - Downtown(zoning, parking, initiatives /projects) 100% Complete. The foundation for many of these initiatives has been laid (i.e., 2009 Parking Study; .the EDSAT; the recent Ec Dev Action Plan; a recent $15,000 grant in April '17 for Wayfinding; and Town Meeting approval of an expanded 40R downtown smart growth district. Next year we will review the need for studying downtown parking, as we had delayed awaiting a 40R decision. Goal #22 Economic Development - Other Priority Development areas (zoning, marketing) 100% Complete. See comments under Goal #9 for a discussion of Peer Community research; an Ec Dev Liaison was hired to work on this project to establish a solid foundation of information for future use. An Economic Development Director was hired mid fiscal year and has already established significant working relationships with developers. Both of these positions will continue into FY18 and work on website improvements and marketing material. Planning and management staff met with the state on issues regarding developing the so- called Green Triangle (Walker's Brook area) and that PDA will be the key focus for FY18. Goal #23 Economic Development - Housing (zoning, demographics, projects) 100% Complete. The town currently has five (5) 40B projects including (1) a past approval at 45 Beacon Court that has not moved forward; (2) a spring 2015 application to the state that has not been approved for Lyle Estates (meanwhile a 4 -lot subdivision is being reviewed by CPDC); (3) an August 2015 project that received a comprehensive permit from the ZBA in February 2017 for Reading Village near the train depot; (4) Schoolhouse Commons which is currently in front of ZBA; and (5) a large multi family project on Eaton & Lakeview has been filed with the state. The town has received a one -year 'safe harbor' reprieve from the state, so the latter project is not fully 'cleared'. The Metro North Reg'l Housing Svcs Office is led by Reading and includes North Reading, Wilmington and Saugus working collaboratively. Goal #24 Assess condition of Town infrastructure (Bldgs - existing /space needs; roads;, wtr /swr) 100% Complete. A final draft of the building security study (conducted by an independent consultant under the direction of the Facilities Director, Superintendent of Schools, Police Chief and Town Manager) is complete with initial cost estimates. We will review next steps including Executive Sessions needed to review with the elected Boards, and determine a funding path moving forward. For exisiting buildings, the PBC has worked with the Facilities Director and will begin their annual reviews at Nov'17 Town Mtg. Goal #25 Assess status of all Town owned land (include Oakland Road) 100% Complete. Town Counsel has completed an evaluation of Oakland Road, including all relevant documents and past Town Meeting actions. November Town Meeting approved the first steps needed to clear the legal issues, April 2017 Town approved the second steps which clear the title. The BOS will next determine a public process to discuss possible uses of the property. Meanwhile, the PBC has worked with the GIS Administrator and complied an extensive list of town -owned land.

Butler, Ret., Director 14 Anglewood Ln North Reading, MA 01864 617 - 594 -4413 metrofiredirector@gmaii.com I have been informed Reading is considering building a communications tower at the site of your Auburn Street Water Tower. My understanding is the communications tower as proposed is intended to be constructed to place communications equipment above the height of the existing water tower. Communications are vital for coordinated fire and emergency medical responses and Metrofire has built an extensive radio infrastructure to support Metrofire communities such as Reading. Metrofire is a consortium of thirty -five fire departments serving communities within the metropolitan Boston area, including the Cities of Boston, Cambridge and the Massachusetts Port Authority. The goal of Metrofire is to enhance and coordinate mutual aid operations delivered between its member departments, while acting as a single entity to improve the effectiveness of fire services. The Metrofire service area encompasses 345 square miles within the Route 128 perimeter, serving 2 million people or thirty percent of the Commonwealth's residents. One of the resources shared throughout the Metrofire departments is a regional radio system, implemented for use when mutual aid is provided across Metrofire member communities. Recently, Metrofire improved its communications by building a radio system that allows Metrofire communities to have two radio channels available for large incidents that require mutual aid response. This system allows a community to choose a radio channel for fire companies working on the scene of the emergency, and a separate channel for mutual aid companies that are responding to other emergencies in the community. This second channel significantly improves public and Firefighter safety by improving communications. For the communities in Reading's geographic area the second radio channel is called Metro North. Metrofire has plans to expand and improve the radio coverage for this channel. In consideration of the location of the proposed communications tower, site topography and the supporting infrastructure that is currently in place, if you decide to move forward and construct the proposed communications tower it could be identified by our radio engineers as a beneficial ` Qj Metrofire, Inc. is a Massachusetts Corporation serving the Commonwealth of Greater Boston. ` V V site to install communications equipment to expand the Metro North Channel. If this site was identified as a beneficial location and the Town of Reading granted us permission to install the communications equipment at this site it would have significant benefit to the Town of Reading and the Metrof re communities surrounding Reading.

Mr. Friedmann attended the Housing Authority meeting and the Historic District meeting regarding the paperwork for Criterion on Summer Ave. He also attended the Holocaust Speaker at Coolidge and would highly recommend listening to her. Mr. Halsey had the privilege of attending an active shooter training this morning. He explained how overwhelming it is to actually watch a scenario like that play out in front of you and watch our real Police officers and Firefighters respond to it. Public Comment Bill Brown thanked everyone behind the scenes for their work on the Memorial Day program as well. Town Manager's Report Mr. LeLacheur noted while he was at the bomb scene, he learned of another swastika at the high school. He is working to set a community inter -faith event to respond to these incidents. He thanked the clergy and rabbi for help with figuring out how to respond. Inter - Municipal Agreement Superintendent of Schools John Doherty and Finance Director of Schools Gail Down were present to explain the agreement. The agreement is with Wakefield for a shared Food Services Director. It is something they have been doing for years and working out wonderfully. Both towns are very happy with the services. Mr. Ensminger asked if this new agreement is essentially the same as the previous one. Ms. Dowd noted it is the same with an added COLA. Mr. Berman asked if this was a Wakefield employee being shared with Reading or vice versa. Ms. Dowd noted it is a Reading employee that Wakefield contributes too. Mr. Ensminger made a motion to approve the three -year Inter - Municipal Agreement with Wakefield for a shared Food Services Director as presented. The motion was seconded by Mr. Berman and approved with a 5 -0 -0 vote. Mr. LeLacheur noted that Town Accountant Sharon Angstrom has been helping out the school department while they were without a finance director and is asking for money for a fraction of her extra time as a thank you. Mr. Ensminger made a motion to extend the gratitude of the Selectmen to the Town Accountant for her assistance to the School Department while they were in transition to a new Director of Finance and Operations earlier in the fiscal year, and further move to approve a one -time payment of $2,000 to the Town Accountant during this fiscal year, which represents only a portion of the additional hours worked for this purpose. The motion was seconded by Mr. Berman and approved with a 5 -0 -0 vote. Appoint Member to RCTV Board Mr. Arena noted this is just filling a vacancy. Mr. Ensminger made a motion to appoint Stephen Crook as a member of the RCTV Board with a term expiring June 30, 2018. The motion was seconded by Mr. Halsey and approved with a 5 -0 -0 vote. Page 1 2 2017105130 Board of Selectmen - Page 3 RCTV Report Phil Rushworth noted RCTV will be returning to the High school for classes in the fall. He urged everyone to come to the focus groups regarding the cable contracts. Mr. Arena expressed his wish for more meetings in more conference rooms to be televised. Mr. Berman asked how many members they have. Mr. Rushworth noted they fluctuate between 250 -350 members and it has been like that for the past 10 years. Mr. LeLacheur thanked Mr. Rushworth and RCTV on behalf of Dr. Doherty for getting back into the schools. Town Forest Committee Update Richard Wetzler noted the scouts are everywhere in the forest and they have lots of students using it for projects as well. Recreational use is very high between runners, bird watchers and dog walkers. They are currently discussing on /off leash days and maybe some non -dog trails. They are looking at getting help from professionals to keep the forest healthy and young. Trails Committee Update Jean Jacobs and Kim Honetschlager gave the Selectmen a presentation update on what the Trails Committee has accomplished in the past year. Mr. Berman thanked them for all their hard work. Human Rights Resolution Citizens of Reading have come to the Selectmen asking for a Human Rights proclamation. Mr. Arena and Mr. Berman then took versions and edited them. Mr. Arena explained they hope this new document they have created becomes a preamble to their policies. Mr. Arena read the preamble and noted it would be place before the Board of Selectmen's mission statement. Mr. Berman thanked the people who brought this to their attention and noted although they feel a proclamation is important, they feel a preamble would be more effected and timeless as it would become a part of their policies. Mr. Ensminger made a motion to approve the preamble to the Board of Selectmen Mission and Values statements of policy. The motion was seconded by Mr. Berman. Mr. Halsey suggested not signing the end of the preamble and instead just timestamp the end. Mr. Halsey made a motion to amend the preamble, seconded by Mr. Ensminger and approved with a 5 -0 -0 vote. Mr. Halsey proposed amendment striking the word `commit' on the second page, second by Mr. Ensminger and approved with a 5 -0 -0 vote. Mr. Berman made a motion for an amendment and passed out a handout. His amendment states Town elective leaders will speak against hate crimes without restricting free speech. Mr. Friedmann seconded his motion. Mr. Halsey noted he doesn't think it needs to be stated that we will speak out during incidents. They have the power to speak out if they want to. Mr. Arena suggested taking out the sentence 'we cannot and will not prevent free speech' because that is a known fact they cannot do that. The committee voted on Mr. Berman's amendment 2 -1 -2 and the amendment did not pass. The committee voted on the document as written as amended by Mr. Halsey, the motion passed with a 3 -0 -2 vote with Mr. Berman and Mr. Friedmann opposing. Mr. Friedmann expressed his thoughts that this was done too quickly. Mr. Arena noted this has been going on since December now. Mr. Berman thanked the citizens for bringing this to them however they decided it needed to be a Board of Selectmen document and not a document brought by the outside community. John Russo expressed his frustration with the board and noted they are not solving anything with this. Page 1 3 C o%� 2017105130 Board of Selectmen - Page 4 Sherri Vandenakker asked what this preamble is going to do or change and then noted it will do nothing. She commended the Selectmen for their words and statements however noted this is not solving anything. Mr. Arena explained they are aware of what is going on in town. Ilene Monterio thanked the Selectmen for their work on a document to help everyone. She felt the document has a very positive feeling to it however asked where the enforcement is going to come from. Nick Holmes noted this is setting us up for endless conflicts with our first amendment with free speech. He commented he has not heard anything about graffiti in year and it's very coincidental that these incidents are happening now that we want a human rights resolution. Theresa Wiggins asked if the Board is ever going to vote on the Human Rights Resolution because this is not the same thing. Mr. Arena noted this is how the Board chose to respond to the resolution. Mr. Berman noted they think it is better to act as we see fit since you are asking for action. It is not exactly what you wanted but it is how we chose. Ms. Wiggins told the Board they need to vote on the resolution. Mr. Friedmann noted he would like to have voted on it as well. Elaine Webb wanted to clarify to the community that there were a large number of people behind the scenes who did react /respond and are taking this very seriously. She wanted to make sure the community knows there are things being done. Kris Holmes noted our town is more divided than ever since this resolution has been brought forward. Hate is taught and our kids should be taught about the horror of these past historical events in school so they know better. Heather McLean asked how the Board plans to promote or let the community know about this new preamble. Mr. Arena noted they could do a press release. Town Manager Bob LeLacheur noted they are trying to spearhead an interfaith community event. Laurie Houten noted she just wanted to echo the article Mr. LeLacheur referenced about Belmont using their swastika incident to make their town stronger. Gary Phillips commended the Board for not taking this too far and for your reserve. Linda Snow Dockser thanked all the leaders and for that press release and kind words. Words are not just words and we need to stop acts of hate. She wished Mr. Berman's amendment passed and noted she does not think this preamble will tell out minorities they are safe in this town. Bob Hayes noted they are taking away free speech. James wanted to remind everyone yesterday was Memorial Day and let's not forget about that. We are going too far with these resolutions. Some of the most intolerant people are behind this proclamation wanting tolerance. Dan Dewar noted he can support a preamble but he is against the proclamation because we are creating problems with free speech. Page 1 4 0 2017105130 Board of Selectmen - Page 5 Kris Holmes commented we are stifling free speech and asked why it has to be one way or no way. John Russo asked what the data on crimes the past few years are. Sherri Vanderakker noted her Jewish friends kids are scared to go to high school. Anne Landry commented the Human Rights proclamation is a much stronger statement that the board could have made. She did thank the board for their kind words and what they have done though. Mr. LeLacheur noted, legally, a proclamation is not the way to go. It will only get us into trouble. Kaitlyn Mercurio wanted to make it known the groups protected were pulled right from mass law. Linda Snow Dockser noted they have found swastikas in other areas around town. Ilene Monterio expressed her opinion that the preamble is a much stronger document that doesn't infringe on free speech. Minutes Mr. Ensminger made a motion to approve the minutes of May 16, 2017, second by Mr. Berman and approved with a 4 -0 -1 vote with Mr. Friedmann abstaining. Mr. Friedmann made a motion to adjourn at 10:45 PM, second by Mr. Berman and approved with a 5 -0 -0 vote.
