RE: Town Manager Memo for June 28
th, 2022 Meeting
The excitement of the summer continues in Reading! As I write this memo, we are putting the final
touches on our Select Board Retreat which will be on Saturday June 25 at 8:00 AM at the Reading Public
Library. Porchfest is scheduled for June 25 starting at 12 PM and it promises to be a fun filled event for
our entire community.
At our meeting, our Community Development Director will present a Regional Affordable Housing
Intermunicipal Agreement. This work will be contracted out to Anser Advisory under housing consulting
services and replaces a Town Staff who will be retiring on June 30, 2022.
The Select Board will be asked to vote on two time‐sensitive ARPA funding requests. The first request is
to fund the design for the Maillet, Sommes and Morgan Stormwater Wetlands at $77,000. This funding
will help us advance the design for this critical project forward, in anticipation of several large funding
requests submitted to the State and Federal governments. The second request is more modest, $8,000 to
survey and research 0 Sanborn Lane for potential transfer to the Conservation Committee. This property
is just under 2 acres and the current property owner has offered to donate it free of charge.
We have received a draft of the Special legislation request from Town Counsel to increase the Board of
Health members, from 3 to 5. As a reminder, this special legislation is required because it is a change in
our Town Charter. The Town Charter was last updated in 2015. The Town Charter must be reviewed for
changes every 10 years. We will begin to plan this holistic review in 2023.
Finally, I wanted to update the Select Board that I had meeting with Community Preservation, a non‐profit
group that supports Cities and Towns with adoption of the Community Preservation Act. The organization
mentioned that a ballot question was last introduced in Reading in 2001 to pass CPA and it failed 51% to
49%. The organization provided a tremendous number of resources during the meeting. Their
recommendation is to form a CPA Study Committee; I will bring this to the Select Board in the fall so we
can begin the work on this committee. The organization’s website is on the links below.

THIS AGREEMENT is entered into by and between the Towns of North Reading,

RE: ARPA Funding Request
Title of Funding Request: 0 Sanborn Lane Survey, Engineering and Legal Fees
Project Description: Ralph James purchase 0 Sanborn Lane land on May 18, 2006, from his father‐in‐law
because the in‐laws had just sold their house located on the abutting property and the new
homeowners did not want the 1.9‐acre lot of land. Ralph James has owned the property for 17 years and
he would like to donate the land to the town and in particular the conservation commission. This land is
an asset to the Conservation Commission because it adds connectivity to existing town‐owned land and
the Town Forest. Ralph James said there was no dumping on the property, and he had no problem
donating it to the town as long as the town provides all the required documentation for the land
transfer.
The 1.9‐acre lot abuts water department land that borders the Ipswich River and lobs Pond Mill site. This
is not an isolated piece of property it will add connectivity to the existing open space and increase the
buffer to the Ipswich River. The Conservation Commission is in favor of acquiring this property. The
Assessor Victor Santaniello and Jaime Brussard in the assessor's office confirmed there are no liens on
the property and the taxes are paid up to date. The next tax bill will be $214.98. We do not believe there
has been any illegal dumping on the site and we have no environmental concerns on the property.
Amount Requested: $8,000
We have received two proposals to survey the property at $4,500. We foresee the need to have an
engineering firm review the survey with the abutters to ensure the boundaries are accepted. Town
Counsel will also need to incorporate a reference to this plan into the deed for conveyance of the
property to the Conservation Commission. Town Counsel will record both the deed and the mylar once
the deed is fully executed and once the Conservation Commission and Select Board have approved of
the conveyance in accordance with M.G.L. c. 40, § 8C

Purpose The purpose of this committee is to serve as an advisory committee to the

of the land for our community, understanding the needs of the community, located
on Symonds Way.
SWEC shall gather input from its members and the Reading residents as to what
the property should look like and its functionality. SWEC will hold regular
meetings and community outreach, SWEC will gather, analyze, and organize
information for future planning decisions related to the best uses for this property.
The Committee shall consider the following:
1. Best uses to serve as many residents as possible
2. Using public funds and grants where possible towards development

The first task of SWEC will be to define the best use for the property. SWEC will
provide feedback on potential physical layouts on the property developed by SV
Design Architects and funded by Town Meeting on April 2022. If a private/public
partnership is deemed appropriate, the SWEC will work with Reading Town Hall
staff to develop and review a Request for Proposals (RFP) for private developers
to invest in the property. Once proposals are received, and with the help of
Reading Town Hall Staff, SWEC will help review and evaluate the submittals to
the RFP. The Committee will offer recommendations for potential funding
options, if pursuing public development.
Deliverable The Committee shall begin its work in December 2022 and shall submit multiple
options for development recommendations using an evaluation scheme to be
determined by the committee to the Select Board no later than August 31, 2023
unless another date is agreed to by the Select Board. If approved by the Select
Board, the Committee shall present its development recommendations to
Subsequent Town Meeting in November 2023.
Sunset The Committee shall sunset on June 30, 2024 but may be extended by a Select
Board vote.
Public Body The meetings and deliberations of the Committee shall be subject to the Open
Meeting Law.

DATE: June 7, 2022
TOPIC: Killam: School Building Committee Appointment Committee Background and Discussion
At our meeting on the 9th of June, we will discuss the process of appointing the Killam School Building Committee for the
Killam project. We have a few regulations, bylaws, and time driven deliverables to work between as we determine the
who, when and how the committee will be formed. The purpose of this memo is to provide the preliminary background
so that we can engage in a fruitful discussion and end up on some recommendations. At the current time, the
appointment committee of the Killam School Building Committee is scheduled to meet on Monday, the 13th at 5:30 p.m.
and I wanted to discuss this with the entire School Committee prior to that meeting.
MGL Chapter 71, Section 68
The first factor to consider, and the highest in legal authority, is Mass General Law. MGL Chapter 71, Section 68 outlines
the requirements for School Committees to maintain school buildings and provide transportation to those school
buildings at various distances and age groups. Additionally, it includes this final clause:
Whenever a town shall undertake to provide a schoolhouse, the town shall appoint at least one
member of the school committee, or its designee, to serve on the agency, board or committee to
which the planning and construction or other acquisition of such schoolhouse is delegated.
Thus, at a minimum, we will need to appoint one member of the School Committee to the Killam School Building
Committee. We may choose to advocate for another member or two, but we will explore that throughout this memo.
963 CMR 2.00
The next authority to consider is 963 CMR 2.00 – Massachusetts School Building Authority – School Building Grant
Program. Since we have applied and been accepted into the MSBA Grant Program, we are bound by their regulations.
Within the regulation, Section 2.10.3 outlines the Killam School Building Committee composition requirements, approval
process and change notification process. The sub sections of that regulation are as follows (bolding by me and not in the
regulation itself):
(a) The Eligible Applicant shall formulate a school building committee for the purpose of generally
monitoring the Application process and to advise the Eligible Applicant during the construction of an
Approved Project.
(b) [T]he school building committee shall be formed in accordance with the provisions of the Eligible
Applicant’s local charter and/or by‐laws and it is recommended that the city, town, regional school
district, or independent agricultural and technical school make a reasonable effort to include one or
more of the following individuals: the local chief executive officer of the Eligible Applicant, or, in the
case of a town whose local chief executive officer is a multi‐party body, said body may elect one of its
members to serve on the school building committee; the town administrator, town manager, or city
manager, where applicable; at least one member of the school committee, as required by M.G.L. c. 71, §
68; the superintendent of schools; the local official responsible for building maintenance; a
representative of the office or body authorized by law to construct school buildings in that city, town or
regional school district, or for that independent agricultural and technical school; the school principal
from the subject school; a member who has knowledge of the educational mission and function of the
facility; a local budget official or member of the local finance committee; members of the community
with architecture, engineering and/or construction experience to provide advice relative to the effect of
the Proposed Project on the community and to examine building design and construction in terms of its
constructability
€ The Authority may hold “best practices” information sessions at varying geographic locations in the
Commonwealth for the purposes of keeping school building committees up to date on regulatory and
policy activities of the Authority.
(d) The Eligible Applicant shall submit to the Authority for its approval, a written statement describing
the composition of the school building committee and the role of the school building committee in
monitoring the Application process and advising the Eligible Applicant during the construction of the
Approved Project. The written statement shall be in a format prescribed by the Authority.
€ The Authority shall approve the composition and role of the school building committee which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Authority’s approval will be based on several factors,
including, but not limited to:
1. past performance of the school building committee, the building committee, whether
temporary or permanent, or any other committee responsible for the oversight, management, or
administration of the construction of public buildings, the composition of the school building
committee and qualifications of its individual members, the powers and duties of the school
building committee; and the school building committee’s procedures for conducting its meetings;
and
2. the extent to which there is representation of the municipal government, school district
personnel with management, educational and maintenance expertise, and representation of
members of the local community with design and construction experience.
After the approval of the school building committee by the Authority, if any, the Eligible Applicant
shall notify the Authority in writing within 20 calendar days of any changes to the membership or the
duties of said committee. The Eligible Applicant shall make a reasonable effort to ensure the
continuity of membership of the school building committee throughout the life of an Approved
Project.
One key thing the regulation does not cover is voting rights. However, the documentation provided by the MSBA allows
for the Committee to be formed with both voting and non‐voting members. This will be critical as we work to comply
with the Reading ByLaws as well.
Reading General ByLaw
Within the Reading General ByLaw, the Permanent Building Committee is outlined and defined in Section 3.3.6. In
addition to defining the members of the Permanent Building Committee, this section of the General ByLaw also outlines
the process of establishing building committees. The key sections are as follows:
… Permanent and Temporary Members of the Permanent Building Committee shall be appointed by an
Appointment Committee consisting of the Chair of the Select Board, the Chair of the School Committee
and the Town Moderator. …
The Permanent Building Committee shall adopt a formal building project application process to be
followed in order for any proposed project to be considered for evaluation and possible administration.
The Permanent Building Committee shall evaluate only Project Applications forwarded by the School
Committee, the Select Board or the Library Trustees (the “Sponsoring Agency”). All Sponsoring Agencies
shall be notified of this application process and any revisions to it in a timely manner after their
adoption.
The Permanent Building Committee shall review and administer major Town building design studies
and construction projects having expected aggregate costs of $1,500,000 or more, but may decline
administration of Projects with little or no actual construction. The Permanent Building Committee’s
jurisdiction shall not extend to projects of the Reading Municipal Light Department. The Permanent
Building Committee shall present their project evaluations to Town Meeting at the request of the
Sponsoring Agency for consideration and approval.
Once Town Meeting has authorized funds for a Project, the Appointment Committee shall add
Temporary Members to the Permanent Building Committee for such Project. Temporary Members shall
have the same participation and voting rights as Permanent Members on matters affecting the
particular Project for which they were appointed. Temporary Members shall be registered voters of the
Town, nominated by the Sponsoring Agency, and shall serve only for the time during which the
Permanent Building Committee is exercising its functions with respect to such Project. In the event that a
particular project is subject to participant requirements of a state funding authority, the Appointment
Committee may appoint additional Temporary members to the Permanent Building Committee for
that project; provided, however, that, in no event, shall the aggregate number of Permanent and
Temporary Members for a particular project exceed nine (9). Quorum requirements for the Permanent
Building Committee shall be the majority of the Permanent and Temporary Members for a particular
project.
In the case of Killam, the School Committee is the Sponsoring Agency. We, through work with Joe Huggins, Kevin
Cabuzzi, Town Manager Fidel Maltez, Superintendent Thomas Milaschewski, and I have submitted our application to the
Permanent Building Committee. Our next obligation is to submit nominations for Temporary Members to the
Appointment Committee for the formation of the Killam School Building Committee.
If we look through the requirements of the MSBA in concert with the requirements of the Town of Reading ByLaws, I
suggest we can only nominate four voting members. However, since many of the people that will fill the roles the MSBA
has required, do not live in Reading, that should not be a problem. We can then nominate additional non‐voting
members as consultants, like how we built the RMHS Track Naming Committee with Kevin Tracey as a consultant.
Timing of Killam School Building Committee Creation
The Town of Reading Bylaw says the Appointment Committee shall add Temporary Members to the Permanent Building
Committee once Town Meeting has authorized funds for a Project. However, in their timeline for this phase of the
Project, the MSBA requires documentation about the membership of the Killam School Building Committee by July 31,
2022.
In working through this with Town Counsel and current Permanent Building Member Gregory Stepler, Town Manager
Fidel Maltez provided the following background:
I spoke about it to Town Counsel today and we agreed that it was grey area. In all reality, the school
building committee has nothing to do until Town Meeting votes the $2.2 Million funds for the
feasibility/schematic design. At that point, Town Meeting will have clearly voted for the project. It is a
little awkward, because the deadline of creating the school building committee is before November Town
Meeting. I could ask the MSBA if we could formally appoint the School Building Committee after the
November vote, but that wasn’t the recommendation from Town Counsel. We agreed today that it was a
technicality and not really a violation. If Town Meeting doesn’t approve the $2.2 Million, the School
building committee would dissolve.
I spoke to Greg Stepler, who is in Town Meeting and the Permanent Building Committee. He was involved
in making the bylaw. He said the intent of that language was to prevent “unrealistic” projects from
coming to the Permanent Building Committee. In other words, if someone wanted to build something but
didn’t have approved funds or Town Meeting support, the Permanent Building could use this language to
not take on the project. We all agree that the Killam School is not like this.
Additionally, in further discussions, it was agreed that the Gienapp demographic study and analysis, which was
authorized by Town Meeting, satisfies the intent of the ByLaw. While that authorization wasn’t for more than
$1,500,000, we know the full cost will be so and the MSBA approval of our participation in the process further
validates this as a real project rather than speculative or unrealistic.
Therefore, the recommendation is to form the Killam School Building Committee now, at least prior to the July
31st, 2022, deadline and empower them after Town Meeting has appropriated the funds for the Feasibility
Study, presuming they do. As outlined above, if Town Meeting does not appropriate the funds, the Killam
School Building Committee simply dissolves.
Role of Killam School Building Committee vs. School Committee
The role of the Killam School Building Committee will be in alignment with that of the Permanent Building Committee.
Specifically, it will be to “review and administer major Town building design studies and construction projects having
expected aggregate costs of $1,500,000 or more.” They are not the marketing or advocacy arm of this project. That role
will still sit with the School Committee as we move forward with Town Meeting and, hopefully, the eventual town wide
vote.
Further, since this is the first time this portion of the General ByLaw is being executed, it will be important that we stay
tightly aligned with the Killam School Building Committee, so we make sure nothing falls through the cracks. It will also
be important that our feedback, the feedback of the administration, and that of the greater community is incorporated
into the design appropriately.
Summary Recommendation for Discussion
Given all of the above, the following are the roles, people, and recommendations of voting or non‐voting that I would
like us to discuss and ultimately nominate to the Appointment Committee of the Permanent Building Committee:
Role Person Voting/Non‐Voting Resident
Chief Executive Officer / Select Board
Member
Member Elected by Select Board Voting Yes
Town Manager Fidel Maltez Non‐Voting No
School Committee Member (min of 1) To be Discussed Voting Yes
Superintendent Thomas Milaschewski Non‐Voting No
Local Official Responsible for Building
Maintenance
Joe Huggins Non‐Voting No
Representative of the Office or Body
authorized by law to construct School
Buildings
TBD TBD TBD
School Principal Sarah Leveque Non‐Voting No
A member with knowledge of the
Educational Mission and Function of
Killam
A member of Killam Staff TBD TBD
Local Budget Official or Finance
Committee Member
Endri Kume, Town Treasurer Voting Yes
Members of the Community with
Architecture, Engineering or Construction
Experience
The Permanent Building Committee Voting Yes
As we review the above, we really have open spot for a voting member that may be filled by people in the categories
marked with a TBD in the Voting/Non‐Voting and Resident columns. That is because we will have one Select Board
member, at least one School Committee member, and the Town Treasurer all as Voting Residents of the Town. The
suggestion of the appointment of Endri Kume to the Local Budget Official role was provided by the Town Manager, Fidel
Maltez, as Endri oversees all borrowing and monitoring of debt and cash for the Town and reports to Sharon Angstrom
while also being a Town Resident.
I have asked for Legal Counsel to provide feedback on the “Representative of the Office or Body authorize by law to
construct School Buildings” membership on the Committee. Initial feedback is that the Body in question is the School
Committee. So, this could be the second School Committee seat, or if the Killam staff member is a resident, that would
provide the fourth member of the Killam School Building Committee.
Additionally, we do not have to fill every role as they are recommended roles only. There is nothing that prevents us
from having more than one person per category, but we also do not want the committee to get too large. Alternatively,
we can choose to have one member fill more than one spot. Finally, as outlined in the General Bylaw, quorum would be
defined only by the voting members of the Committee; the Permanent Building Committee members plus the four
Temporary Members nominated by the School Committee and appointed by the Appointing Committee.
Please be prepared to discuss this, including asking any questions you may have, during our meeting on Thursday.

Dear Mr. Haley and Ms. McCarthy,
Thank you for the opportunity to meet with you today about my application for a position on the Board of Health. I was
disappointed to learn that the two incumbent members will be automatically recommended for reappointment and that
there will be no open interview process where all candidates for these positions receive consideration.
In light of this, I regret to inform you that I will be withdrawing my application. However, as I mentioned when we met
today, I feel strongly that it is important to have an epidemiologist on the Board of Health, especially given the ongoing
COVID pandemic.
I sincerely hope that you will work to change the town charter to expand the number of voting members and that you
also consider adding more associate, nonvoting members to the BoH so that the town can benefit from more residents'
expertise. In addition, I hope that the BoH changes its policies to allow for a fairer selection process that allows non‐
incumbents a chance to be considered.
Thank you again.

No that clears everything up. I’m fine with those dates. If any of the full time members are not reapplying, you may also
