MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Selectmen
FROM: Peter 1. Hechenbleikner
DATE: January 16, 2009
RE: Board of Selectmen Meeting — January 20, 2009
3a) We have a single applicant for the Northeast Regional Vocational School District Committee
member. As you know, the member who was elected in November resigned prior to being
sworn in. Attached is a copy of the applicant's resume and a copy of the section of the
Northeast Metropolitan Regional School District agreement which specifies how the position
would be appointed. There are six members of the School Committee and five members of
the Board of Selectmen, totaling an 11 member appointment committee. In order to be
appointed, a person would have to receive six votes in accordance with our Charter. We have
scheduled this matter at 7:00 p.m. to accommodate the School Committee whose hearing on
the budget starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Superintendent's Conference Room at the Reading
Memorial High School, 82 Oakland Road. Hopefully the interview process will be able to be
completed within the first 15 minutes of the meeting.
4a) The Town Accountant will be in for her quarterly meeting with the Board of Selectmen.
4b) The consultant will be in to make a presentation to the Board on the OPEB actuarial
requirements. It is expected that members of the Finance Committee and the Reading
Municipal Light Board will also be present so that the presentation only needs to be made
once. The GASB 43 requirement does not include funding this liability — it only requires
identifying the liability at this time.
4c) The property owner and their team will be in to make a presentation to the Board of
Selectmen on a proposed north Main Street LIP. Copies of the documents are available in the
Selectmen's packet. Depending on the Board's reaction to this presentation, the applicant
may make a formal application to the Board of Selectmen under your LIP regulations, and
that would then require an application to the Zoning Board of Appeals as a "friendly 40B."
The staff comments from the most recent Development Review Team on this project are also
included.

Re: Reading's District School Committee Representative to the Northeast Regional
Vocational School:
Dear Town Clerk Johnson:
Please be advised that I am resigning from my position as Reading's District School
Committee Representative to the Northeast Regional Vocational School that I was
elected to on November 4, 2008. Via this letter, please be advised that I will not accept
this School Committee position that I was elected to on November 4, 2008 because of
increased travel demands at my work. New requirements at my job necessitates that I
travel several times a month to various parts of the country on official business. Based
on these new work demands, I will not be able to participate in School Committee
Meetings as I will be out of state on job related business on the days that the Northeast
Regional Vocational School District's School Committee meets. It is with regret that I
inform you of this decision. I am quite sure that the Board of Selectmen will find a
qualified replacement for me before January, 2009 when the Northeast Regional
Vocational School District School Committee meets.
Sincerely,
James B. Perry

Applicant:
The plan was revised to address comments and concerns expressed at the previous DRT
meeting:
• Less density: 20 units (down from 24) in four buildings. Five units would be affordable. One
unit in each of the buildings would be a handicap - accessible flat.
• Street lighting plan
• Trash/Recycling area
• Parking Spaces: 40 proposed with room to add five more if necessary.
•. Redesigned roadway -loop to improve fire truck accessibility (i.e. turning radius)
• Sustainable design: submitted a four -page memo outlining how the project would implement
sustainable design strategies using LEER guidelines.
• Roadway -loop will be impervious but driveways and walkways would be permeable to some
degree.
• Upgrade packages would be offered to tenants: solar panels, outlets for electric car in
garages....
• Walking trail to /from Francis Drive will be added. The abutter on Francis Drive is agreeable
to granting an easement.

Will affordable units be one style or different
styles like the market units?
Rendering shows lots of insets and variety in
architectural features — which is what we want
-- but it does not appear the variety has been
reflected in the plans.
Before submitting plans to the Board of
Selectmen, they should first be revised to
address police and fire chiefs' issues. Also, the
rendering should be revised to accurately
portray what is proposed.

Re: Housing Production Plan — Notice of Pending Expiration
Dear Mr. Goldy:
L( ctb(
The Town of Reading's Affordable Housing Plan was approved on January 3, 2007 pursuant to 760 CMR 31.07,
Planned Production. On February 22, 2008, the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD)
promulgated 760 CMR 56.00, Comprehensive Permit; Low or Moderate Income Housing, new regulations that
affect existing affordable housing plans.
Under 760 CMR 56.03(4), Housing Production Plans (HPP), the term of an Affordable Housing Plan is five (5)
years from the date of DHCD approval. This letter is to inform you that your Plan is due to expire on January 26,
2012. In order to renew your Plan for another five -year period, you must submit a revised or amended Plan that
addresses all the criteria set out in the new regulations, including a comprehensive needs assessment and
implementation strategies to address current and future needs.
Please note that the threshold requirements for certification have been reduced to 0.5 % of total housing units for a
one -year exemption and 1.0% for a two -year exemption (down from 0.75% and 1.5 %, respectively) for a
community to be considered "Consistent with Local Needs" by the Housing Appeals Court. In addition, municipal
approval of initial Plans, as well as subsequent revisions /amendments and renewals, has been expanded to include
the local planning board and the select board or city council.
Enclosed is a copy of the new HPP Guidebook, including the HPP Regulation, Guidelines, Production Goals, and
Frequently Asked Questions to assist you in the update and renewal or your Plan. If you need assistance please
contact Phillip DeMartino, Technical Assistance Coordinator, at 617- 573 -1357 or Phi llip.Dervlartino a,state.ma.us.

Dear Washington Park Master Plan Committee Member,
|am writing in regards to the recently published Washington Park Master Plan. First, |just
wanted to express my thanks for your immense efforts. Aso homeowner living directly across from the
park, | understand the challenges that this town asset faces. I appreciate the obvious resources that you
put into the Study. Second, I wanted to express my reservations about key facets of the study/report:
The report sites "hoo' onisnfanonmofthekeyUifnotthemoethnportent problems facing
Washington Park. While | agree with this assessment, | fail to see how the plan adequately
addresses the problem. |n fact, | strongly worry that many of the suggestions (more parking,
more courts, increased eeoting8mb|eo) will only exacerbate the issue.
The parking changes slated for Washington street (in that they would require removal of the
beautiful 1930s-era stone wall and, I assume, elimination of some of the park's oldest trees
that nestle directly next to the wall) seem to sacrifice a lot in return for small improvements in
parking/accessibility. Given that, per your study, more people prefer to walk to the park than
drive, | wonder just how necessary these changes are. Moreover, |emn (somewhat selfishly)
concerned about the impact that a parking lot would have on a neighborhood that is still
struggling to revitalize ib*e|[ Finally, | worry that the lot would oirno|y become satellite parking
for the nearby train depot, meaning that the town will have spent a lot of funds to improve
accessibility, only to find that most spaces are used by day commuters as opposed to park
goers.
Thirdly, \ have reservations about the study/process itself. |fnmy math ie correct, 182people
responded to the online survey. |a this statistical sample large enough to form any
meaningful conclusions? Also, a neighborhood meeting was held in September but only
^14+^ residents attended. |e the committee doing enough to publicize their efforts? Could
word be better spread via mailing to the impacted neighborhoods? | myself was unaware of
the survey, meeting, etc. (perhaps owing to the fact that I do not subscribe to the town
papers). Finally, it would seem that the section of Washington Street between Prescott and
Lincoln will be most impacted by potential changes (e.g. removal of walls, elimination of
trees, new lighting, new parking, prolonged construction, eto.). While the committee has
done a great job of incorporating neighborhood insights, I worry that the voice of this specific
neighborhood ie being underrepresented. | would only ask that |n your efforts going forward
you consider the impact that changes could have on both the park itself and the surrounding
homes. Despite some survey respondents calling the area "slummy" please know that we on
Washington between Prescott and Lincoln take great pride in the neighborhood and are very
interested in exploring changes that will BOTH benefit the community at large while do
nothing ho hurt/burden the immediate homeowners.
|would be happy to discuss any of these issues further. Please feel free to contact nmvia mail,
telephone, oremail.
Again, let mo just reiterate that, my reservations, |mmgreatly appreciative of your time and
efforts. The Master Plan represents mn exciting step forward. |em very interested to see where it will go
from here.
Sincerely,
E3

I am writing to inform you that the Town has received your letter in reference to the Washington
Park master plan. I appreciate your comments and welcome the feedback.
The ad hoc, Washington Park Planning Committee was dissolved in December of 2008 after making
its final presentation to the Board of Selectmen. There will be a public hearing scheduled by the
Board of Selectmen at some point this winter /spring to discuss the committees findings and
recommendations. All abutters will be notified. At that time, you are welcome to present any
feedback or concerns you may have of the existing plan in a public forum. Your letter has been
copied to the Board of Selectmen, so they will have your comments on file.
I also wanted to inform you that when notification for the neighborhood meeting was conducted, a
letter was sent to the name listed at your address (Palaymarchuk) from the Assessors Office.
Therefore, the letter may have been forwarded. If you have recently purchased your home, you may
want to contact the Assessors Office to change the name of ownership with the Town.
It's nice to hear from residents that truly care about their neighborhood. Please understand that the
words "slummy" and "hooligan" were taken directly from neighborhood comments and not
assumed by the committee. I think all of us truly feel that Washington Park is a tremendous asset to
the Town. I hope any improvements that are made satisfy all the needs of the community.
S nc ely,

Project Title
Energy Conservation and Municipal Infrastructure Improvement through Energy Savings Performance
Contracting
Project Description
The proposed Energy Savings Performance Contracting (EGPC) project provides distinct benefits to the Town of
Reading and the Commonwealth ofMassachusetts. with respect to the established funding priorities. These
• Energy efficiency (reduction in reliance nn foreign fossil fuel auppieo);
• Infrastructure renewal;
• Environmental stewardship (reduction of carbon enimsionn);and
°
Economic growth and development (creating jobs and preventing municipal and school layoffs).
Using the ESPC methods established under MGL Chapter 25A, Section 111, the Town of Reading has recently
completed a Request for Qualifications process to engage an Energy Services Company (ESCO) to' perform an
Investment Grade Audit (IGA) of fifteen municipal facilities (eight school buildings and seven municipal
buildings) and intends to then enter into an Energy Services Agreement (ESA) to implement energy efficiency
upgrades, renewable energy technologies, demand management solutions and energy infrastructure renewal in
most, |f not all, of its municipal and school buildings. The project has been approved and endorsed byall
necessary governing bodies of the Town including the Reading School Committee and. nearly'unanimous
support of Town Meeting in November of 2008 (copies of certified votes attached).
In response to our solicitation, the Town received responses from seven of the leading national ESCO's and has
selected NORESCO, based in Westborough, Massachusetts as the firm with whom it intends to partner in the
project. The terms of the IGA Agreement are anticipated to be finalized and the Agreement executed on'or
about January 26, 2009 with the IGA expected to commence on or about February 1, 2009. The anticipated
completion date of the IGA is mid- to late-April, 2009. Once the IGA is complete, the Town will select a
comprehensive package of-projects tobaimplemented. Norenno has identified o preliminary list nfenergy
efficiency improvements, -infrastructure renewal strategies and renewable ene rgy technologies viable for the
°
Energy efficient lighting retrofits and lighting conservation measures (occupancy sensors, UghUng
management controls, daylighting strategies, ekc.)
*
Replacement and upgrade of energy management controls and installation of demand-ventilation
controls
°
Replacement and upgrade of mechanical equipment (boilers, air handler units, unit ventilators,
compressors, chillers, etoj
°
Replacement and upgrade of fans and motors
°
Building envelope improvements (improved insulation, window replacement, roof replacement, etc.)
°
Installation of water saving devices
" Solar photovoltaic
Noreono will, through the comprehensive |GA. identify and present tothe Town a proposed scope of work to
include any and all potential energy and Water saving projects that could be implemented by the Town.
Reading sspc Project 1
rl
Typically, the scope of work resulting from the |GAis at the 30 to 50% design st age, The Town will select the
projects that yield the highest economic value during the month of May oo that the ESCO may proceed with
ordering equipment, hiring oub-oortrodom. and initiate project mobilization stages to allow for a June 1.2O0Q
construction start date.
The Town fully intends to include locally-based alternative energy generation (most likely geothermal orsolar)
on part of this project. The Town would utilize the resources provided under the Green Communities Act and
would aggressively pursue technologies manufactured by Massachusetts-based firms.
Based on Noresco's preliminary benchmarking assessment of the Town's facilities, the Town anticipates
implementing a comprehensive energy and infrastructure renewal project valued in the range of $3,000,000 to
$5,000,000 depending upon the payback period for the selected ECM's and the length of time for which the
Town is comfortable financing the project. The comprehensiveness of the project will be impacted by the level
of external funding the Town is able to secure. Such potential sources, other than the stimulus funds being
contemplated herein, include:
• Massachusetts Technology Collaborative Funding (particularly for solar orgeothermal
• Funding available through the MA DOER Green Communities Act
• Reading Municipal Light Department
• National Grid
• Emission Reduction / Renewable Energy credits
• Demand Response
• Private investment in renewable assets on public property owned byReading
° Private grant funding
"Please note in the description whether or not this project is bei considered for state or federal funds outside
of the potential federal stimulus, If so, please provide the program nr agency you've applied to,
Cost
The exact scope of the project will dictate the final cost and the scope selection will depend upon available
external funding, financing terms available at the time of borrowing, and length of time for which the Town is
comfortable financing. The Town will solicit public and private funding (discussed above), however, it does
anticipate borrowing for a portion of the project cost as well.
Will the requested federal funding be leveraged with any other public or private funding?
If yes, please explain:
Under a traditional ESPC, the Town would be limited in its ability to invest in energy infrastructure and
renewable energy projects as the investment potential will be strictly tied to the energy savings potential. The
requested funding would be leveraged with the potential energy savings to enable the Town to maximize its
investment in energy infrastructure and renewable energy projects.
Project Schedule
Expected start date: June 1.2OOS
Expected date ofcompletion: Deoamber31.2010
Has the project been 1O0%designed? No
|f no, when will design becomplete? Using the Performance Contracting methods established under K4GL
Chapter 25A, Section 11 i, the design will be at approximately 30-50% at the time of construction. Construction

Water nmUon specialists
Specialty engineering/design consultants
Renewable energy specialists
Given that the p `ect scope will likely include work on fifteen municipal and school buildings representing
almost one million square feet of building space and a construction time frame of 18-24 months, it is estimated
that this project will result in the employment of over 20Uindividuals.
Will your municipality be able to fully fund the operations of the new or updated facility with local government
operating. funds?
Based on preliminary estimates, this project ia likely ho reduce energy consumption, and thereby expenditures,
by20Y6-2596potentially. The facility improvements would allow for oubotantia| moderation ofanUnipeted
increases to the facilities' opnroUngbudget, thereby enhancing the town's abUityto fund the operation ofits
facilities while freeing up resources for other critical municipal needs such as critical public safety and teaching

Reading PublicLibrary Exterior Infrastructure Improvements
Project Description
|n July of2O08.e comprehensive assessment ofthe Reading Public Library was performed by Adams 8Smith
LLC. Among its findings, this assessment identified critical issues with the building's exterior infrastructure
which are described below.
The Reading Public Library, constructed in 1895, requires significant exterior improvements to stabilize the
building | and prevent further deterioration. These improvements include replacement of copper gutters
and downspouts and re-pointing of all exterior brick work. The current gutters and down spouts are failing
causing major damage to the brickwork and rotting of exterior woodwork. Replacement of the gutters and re-
pointing will seal the building envelope and prevent future damage, In addition, the chimneys are also in poor
condition with two of the four ' which need to be rebuilt from the roof line up. Flashing around the entire building
and damaged historic architectural details are also in need of repair and replacement.
This report |oavailable at: The
specific findings which this project addresses are detailed on pages 4, 5 and 7 respectively of the report.
This project is not currently being considered for other state or federal funding.
