Existing Vacancies: All vacancies are posted within 14 days upon notice to the Town Clerk and Town Manager’s Office. Often times, the 14 days, and beyond, passes without an application, thus leaving the seat vacant for an extended period of time. Should a vacancy occur unexpectedly between these scheduled intervals, the vacancy will be posted for th deadline of the 15 day. Other applicants to other boards/committees with existing vacancies may be interviewed at this time. If a board/committee with existing vacancies is experiencing quorum issues, and an application is received, a deadline of five days from the date that application is received will be established, and a VASC meeting scheduled as soon as possible following the deadline. 6 7 trees Arbor Day the as 6 2 , 20 4 2 of this and future generations.

Premises: Approximately . acres of land including any buildings thereon located off Symonds Way in the Town of Reading, Massachusetts For Participant’s Title, see Book , Page in the Middlesex South Registry of Deeds, at 208 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, MA 02141. WHEREAS, the PARTICIPANT has established a Park, Recreation, or Conservation Commission under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 45, § 2 or Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40, § 8C, hereinafter referred to as the COMMISSION, and has made application to the COMMONWEALTH for assistance under the Massachusetts Parkland Acquisitions and Renovations for Communities (PARC) Program, pursuant to St. 1977, Chapter 933, as amended, for a project briefly described as follows: Reading Recreational Courts, PARC #3: The project includes the development of a series of six to seven pickleball courts in partnership with a future community recreational and senior center, hereinafter referred to as the PROJECT. WHEREAS, the COMMONWEALTH has received said application and found the application to be in conformance with the Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan, St. 1977, Chapter 933, as amended, and the PARC Program policies and regulation, 301 CMR 5.00. WHEREAS, the COMMONWEALTH has approved said application and has obligated certain funds in the amount of $100,000 (One hundred thousand dollars). WITNESSETH: 1.The COMMONWEALTH and the PARTICIPANT mutually agree to perform the terms and conditions of this Agreement in accordance with the Massachusetts PARC Program, its policies and regulation 301 CMR 5.00, Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 45, § 2, Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40, § 8C, and St. 1996, Chapter 15. 2.The PARTICIPANT agrees to perform the PROJECT described above by authorizing its COMMISSION to develop, manage, maintain, and operate the PROJECT in accordance with the terms, conditions and obligations contained in the PARTICIPANT'S application(s), as approved, including any promises, conditions, plans, specification estimates, procedures, project proposals, maps, and assurances made a part thereof, and furthermore, in accordance with any special terms and conditions attached to and incorporated in this Agreement. No significant deviations from the PROJECT shall be undertaken without advance approval by the COMMONWEALTH. 10 3. The PARTICIPANT agrees that the facilities of the PROJECT shall be open to the general public and shall not be limited to residents of the PARTICIPANT. The PARTICIPANT shall prominently display on the PROJECT a sign designated by the COMMONWEALTH, which sets forth public access and an indication that the PROJECT received PARC grant funds. 4. The PARTICIPANT acknowledges Article 97 of the Massachusetts Constitution which states, in part, that: "Lands or easements taken or acquired for such park, recreation or conservation purposes shall not be used for other purposes or otherwise disposed of except by laws enacted by a two-thirds vote, taken by yeas and nays, of each branch of the General Court." The PARTICIPANT hereby agrees that any property or facilities comprising the PROJECT will not be used for purposes other than those stipulated herein or otherwise disposed of unless the PARTICIPANT receives the appropriate authorization from the General Court, the approval of the Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs, and any authorizations required by the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40, § 15A or St. 1996, Chapter 15. 5. The PARTICIPANT hereby covenants and agrees that the PROJECT, including the property and any and all associated facilities and improvements, shall be devoted to park, recreation and/or conservation purposes in perpetuity, within the meaning of Article 97 of the Commonwealth’s Declaration of Rights, and shall not be used for other purposes or otherwise disposed of except in accordance with the provisions of said Article 97. In the event that the property or facilities cease to be used for such purposes, all interest in the property or facilities shall revert to the Commonwealth pursuant to St. 1996, Chapter 15. The PARTICIPANT shall notify the Secretary in writing of any change in use or potential change in use of the property or facilities that is inconsistent with said park or outdoor recreation purposes. The PARTICIPANT shall have 90 days from the date written notice was received by the Secretary to present satisfactory evidence that the basis for reversion has been cured, in which case the property or facilities shall not revert. Upon receipt of written notice, the Secretary may review the circumstances of the property or facilities and determine that reversion of the property or facilities is not appropriate or essential to the protection of public open space in which case the provisions of paragraph 6 shall apply. 6. The PARTICIPANT further agrees that despite any such authorization and approval, in the event the property or facilities comprising the PROJECT are used for purposes other than those described herein, the PARTICIPANT shall provide other property and facilities of equal value and utility and the proposed use of said other property and facilities is specifically agreed to by the Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs. 7. Failure by the PARTICIPANT to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the policies or regulation of the PARC Program may, at the sole option of the COMMONWEALTH, suspend or terminate all obligations of the COMMONWEALTH hereunder. 8. PARTICIPANT and COMMONWEALTH acknowledge that the benefit desired by the COMMONWEALTH from the full compliance by the PARTICIPANT is the existence, protection, and the net increase of park and recreation facilities, and that such benefit exceeds to an immeasurable and unascertainable extent the dollar value of the funding provided by this Agreement. Consequently, the PARTICIPANT and the COMMONWEALTH agree that payment of money damages by the PARTICIPANT to the COMMONWEALTH would be an inadequate remedy for a breach of this Agreement by the PARTICIPANT, and, therefore, that the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be enforceable by specific performance. 11 9. The PARTICIPANT agrees to record a copy of this Agreement at the Registry of Deeds and to provide proof of such recording to the COMMONWEALTH. In the case of a development project, this Agreement shall be recorded with and a marginal notation entered on the deed to the property to be improved by PROJECT. This project agreement shall also be recorded and marginally noted on any prior deed, restriction, conveyance, or other instrument affecting the PROJECT area. Failure to do so shall not impair the validity or enforcement of the agreement. The PARTICIPANT agrees to reference this project agreement in any deed, restriction, or conveyance or other instrument affecting the PROJECT area.

The Select Board will work together to represent the interests and needs of all the residents in our community. 2. The Select Board will lead by example at all times to build trust. We agree to avoid words and actions that create a negative impression of an individual, the Select Board, or the Town. While we encourage debate and differing points of view, we will speak with care and respect. 3. Surprises to the Select Board or Town Manager will be the exception, not the rule. We agree to ask the Board Chair or the Town Manager to add an item to the agenda within a reasonable time frame rather than bringing it up unexpectedly at a meeting. 4. The Select Board works collaboratively to establish vision, create policies, ensure accountability, and fulfill the responsibilities as the executive branch of the Town as established in the Town Charter. The Town Manager is the Chief Executive Officer and works collaboratively to execute Board objectives, manage staff, day-to-day operations, and finances for the Town as outlined in the Town Charter. 5. During meetings, the Select Board will speak to items on the agenda and refrain from engaging in inappropriate debate. Requests for further information on issues will be referred to the Town Manager. 6. Communications between Town staff and the Select Board are encouraged. Board requests of staff will be directed to the Town Manager. 7. Any complaints or criticisms of personnel received by the Select Board or individual members will be directed to the Town Manager (further details are available in Select Board Policy Article 1.4 Communications). 8. The Select Board will consider research, best practice, public input, and financial impacts in decision making. 9. When executive sessions are held, Board Members will honor the confidentiality of the discussions. 10. The Select Board and the Town Manager will facilitate goal setting for the Town. 11. The authority of the Select Board is in the body as a whole, not in individual members. We agree that an individual Board Member will not take unilateral action. 12. When Board Members attend meetings of other committees or boards as liaisons from the Board, they understand that they are speaking as individuals and not for the Board except when reporting a decision of the majority of the Select Board. __________________________ __________________________ __________________________ Salvatore Bramante Karen Gately Herrick Christopher Haley
