He indicated to George that the Main and Franklin Street intersection is eligible under the states congested intersection program and asked if we would like is to be considered. George explained the improvements we would like to see i.e. crosswalks, HP ramps and left turn lanes; and about the meeting we had last year with MHD and Rep. Jones. Mr. Wang felt the intersection had a reasonable chance of making it through the final list. They will be presenting the list of projects to the Transportation Planning and Programming Committee this Thursday. He will let me know the outcome ASAP. If it makes it through the final cut they will be doing a traffic study in May. The Massachusetts Moderators Association has produced DVD presentations that explain, in lay terms, the workings of town meeting. The Representative Town Meeting DVD, called "Voice of the People" premiered a couple of weeks ago at the Senior Center, and it will be aired on RCTV. You will recognize several people in the video. .

The Senate Ways and Means proposal would inflict extraordinarily deep and harmful local aid cuts that would cause immediate and lasting damage to cities and towns in every corner of Massachusetts. This budget would force communities to lay off thousands of teachers, police officers, firefighters, public works employees, librarians and other key staff. Essential services would be severely weakened, and reliance on the regressive property tax would skyrocket. This budget would cause greater harm to the Massachusetts economy, and make the recession last longer than necessary. It is urgent that you contact your Senators and tell them that they must VOTE TO REVERSE THESE CUTS AND RESTORE LOCAL AID, including INCREASING THE STATE SALES TAX, and using state stabilization funds and federal stimulus funds. Tell your legislators to support all of the MMA amendments listed below, and oppose any amendments that would harm local government. In addition, It is imperative that the Legislature immediately enact A REAL MUNICIPAL RELIEF BILL that removes health insurance decisions from collective bargaining, allows local option taxes, and finally closes the telecommunications property tax loopholes that give the telephone company a $50 million tax break that cannot be justified in these difficult times. URGENT NOTE: THE MUNICIPAL RELIEF COMMISSION'S DEEPLY FLAWED LANGUAGE ON MUNICIPAL HEALTH INSURANCE HAS BEEN FILED AS AN AMENDMENT TO THE BUDGET (Sen. Rosenberg - "Amendment Other 1 &2"). This plan would impose binding arbitration, keeps all plan design decisions in collective bargaining, and would give an outside, unaccountable arbitrator unilateral authority to impose costs on cities and towns. The MMA stron0v opposes this plan, and it is imbortant that you inform vour Senators that the Commission's health provisions are worse than no reform at all. and would move cities and towns backward instead of offerinL real reform that helbs. THE FISCAL 2010 BUDGET RELEASED BY SENATE WAYS AND MEANS WOULD: 0 5/18/2009 Page 3 of 5 • Cut municipal aid by $484 million below original fiscal 2009 levels • Cut Chapter, 70 school aid by $79 million • Eliminate police career incentive (Quinn Bill) funding ($50 million) • Eliminate sewer rate relief funding ($20 million) • Eliminate community policing and anti-gang funding ($34 million) • Cut $125 million from special education circuit-breaker • Cut $31 million from regional school transportation funds • Cut $8 million from library grants Click Here http://www.mass.gov/legis/lObudget/senate/index.htm to View the Latest Senate Budget Information and Access Your Local Aid Numbers The reality is that this budget would deepen the fiscal crisis for cities and towns, force sweeping and damaging cuts to public safety, education, road and bridge maintenance, libraries and other vital services, increase reliance on property taxes, and erode the very services that support our economy. This is a shared crisis, and cities and towns need basic levels of local aid and powerful tools to protect their communities. This budget does not contain the local aid or municipal management tools that are required. Local leaders call upon the Legislature to take this necessary action, and must work together as partners to deliver essential services to the people of the Commonwealth. Unless this action is taken, communities will be weaker, Massachusetts will experience a longer and deeper recession, and our economic recovery will be postponed. The Senate will begin debating the budget on Tuesday, May 19. PLEASE TELL YOUR SENATORS TO SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING KEY BUDGET AMENDMENTS: • MUNICIPAL AID: Vote to amend the budget to restore $264 million to Municipal Aid, bringing municipal aid up to the same level as the House and Governor's budgets (this would still slash municipal aid by $220 million below original fiscal 2009 levels) - please use Sen. Brewer's "placeholder" amendment (LOC 62) as the basis for restoring municipal aid; • CHAPTER 70: Amendment EDU 351 (Sen. O'Leary) to restore $79 million to Chapter 70 school aid; • SPECIAL EDUCATION: Amendment EDU 358 (Sen. O'Leary) to restore $79.8 million in funding for the special education circuit-breaker program, bringing the account up to $184.9 million; • REGIONAL SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION: Amendment EDU 329 (Sens. Brewer and O'Leary) to restore $20 million in regional school transportation funds, bringing the account up to $50.5 million; • PILOT: Amendment GOV 135 (Sen. Rosenberg) to restore $3 million to the payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) program, bringing the account up to $30.3 million; • QUINN BILL: Amendment EPS 431 (Sen. Tisei) to level fund the police career incentive pay program at $50.2 million (still millions below full funding), and limit the program only to current participants; and • COMMUNITY POLICING: Amendment EPS 417 (Sen. Timilty) to restore $5.3 million to J 5/18/2009 Page 4 of 5 community policing. PLEASE TELL YOUR SENATORS TO SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING KEY REVENUE/RELIEF AMENDMENTS: • SALES TAX INCREASE: Vote to support the vitally necessary sales tax increase and other revenues that will be presented during the debate to limit the damaging cuts in the Senate budget, and provide a lifeline level of municipal and state funding for essential programs; • LOCAL-OPTION TAXES: Vote to support the extremely important local-option tax provisions allowing for a 2% local-option sales tax on meals and an increase of up to 4% in the local room occupancy tax (Sen. Rosenberg has sponsored language in Amendments Other 1&2); • TELECOM LOOPHOLES: Vote to support Amendment Other 19 (Sen. Creem) that would close the telecom tax loopholes that are abused by telecommunications companies at the expense of local taxpayers; and • PENSION SCHEDULES: Amendment LOC 78 (Sen. Tarr) to extend the pension funding schedule from 2028 to 2030, reducing the pension funding requirement for fiscal 2010, an important cost reduction for localities. PLEASE TELL YOUR SENATORS TO OPPOSE THE FOLLOWING BUDGET PROVISIONS: • SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION GRANTS: Vote to STRIKE Section 33 of the Senate Ways and Means budget, which proposes to eliminate the state's minimum reimbursement percentage for school building projects, currently set at 40%; and • MUNICIPAL HEALTH INSURANCE: Vote to OPPOSE the municipal health insurance provisions included in Amendments Other 1&2 discussed above. Municipal officials across the state strongly oppose the Municipal Relief Commission language because the provisions would move communities backward and they report that this change would be even worse than no reform at all. Sen. Hedlund has filed very good language (LOC 65) that would achieve real and meaningful municipal health insurance reform by giving localities plan design flexibility while granting unions impact bargaining power - LOC 65 is the amendment to support. Share this information with municipal workers in your community, and urge them to contact their Senators - their jobs are at stake Check the MMA website for links to the SW&M budget and frequent updates from the MMA Now is the time for your Senators to protect cities and D 5/18/2009 Page 5 of 5 towns!

There are two areas_ within the Police Department this may pertain. First is parking tickets, Our current fine for parking tickets is $20. By statute it can be as high as $50 After 21 days the late fee is $5, this is set by statute. After the parking clerk reports to the registry, there is another $20 for the registry. At this point we also add a $15 city fee for administrative processing. The total we would collect per ticket if it is not paid is $60. $20 ticket $ 5 late fee $15 city fee $20 registry fee We could increase to a maximum of $75 per ticket (max allowable by statute) this could be a combination added to ticket cost and/or city fee. City fee is only on late payments. Calendar year 2008 we wrote 2400 parking tickets $15 increase would net $36000. I do not recommend this. 8% of our tickets get to the registry for their fee and the city fee. The second area is Dog Licenses. These are regulated by the BOS, late fees are $10 first late month, $5 per month after that. On June 1St, a fifty dollar by-law violation is assessed. 0 Current fee permits 30 10 3escripflon Rain Barrels Bulk Stickers \Nhite Goods Street Suns cRTsos discontinued) Compost bins d for f:Yo9 Total Revenue profecte 20 25 0 plckup 10 drop_o 252 Current Revenue 2flpg to date) (July 3138 12670 8040 ,21245 lc'up 7380 drop-off IA940 p 2875 Estimated Revenue Recommended fee 3765 15204 30 10 10338 . 20 2,245 11184 a 5 20 pickup 10 drop- 2875 45637 Description Reproductions Photocopies Permits Current 2008 Current fee Revenue 8.5"x11" 8.5"x14" 11"x17" Large format copies 18"x24" 24"x36" Electronic Copies Compact Disk Reproductions Total - - Street Opening/Occupancy: Utility Construction or Reconstruction Street Occupancy Permit Driveway Construction Sidewalk Construction Curb Installation Jackie's Law (in effect March 2009) Trench Excavations Private Property Street Opening/Occupancy Total 100 $0.25 $0.25 $0.25 $2.50 $5.00 $10.00 $754 Recommended Estimated fee Revenue $0.25 $0.25 $0.25 $2.50 $5.00 $10.00 $50.00 $50.00 $25.00 $25.00 $25.00 $25.00 $25.00 $25.00 $25.00 $25.00 $50.00 $50.00 $5,800 Drain Permit: Connecting to Town's Drainage System 0 $0.00 Drain Permit Total $0 Sewer Permit: Installation 28 $75.00 Disconnect 7 $75.00 Repair 7 $25.00 Water Permit: Service Pipe Connection (Entrance Fee + Actual Service Cost) $100.00+ $23,765 (Fee based on actual labor & material cost - varies each service) Service Pipe Maintenance (Actual Cost of Service Renewal) $13,907 (Fee based on actual labor & material cost - varies each service) Water - Sewer Permit Total $37,672 Drain Layer License: (Authorizes Contractor to Perform Work of Public Property) Initial Fee, $100.00 Annual Renewal Fee $75.00 Drain Layer License/Renewal Total $2,600 Total Fee Revenue - Engineering $46,826 $75.00 $75.00 $75.00 $25.00 $754 59 $8,300 Increase expected from Jackie's Law $150 Increase resulting from new fee $100.00+ $23,765 $13,907 $37,672 $100.00 $75.00 $2,600 $49,476 j HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN PETITION We respectfully request notice of a,Yf B iture public hearings concerning this matter.
