Town of Reading 16 Lowell Street Reading, MA 01867-2685 FAX: (781) 942-9071 Email: townmanager@ci.reading.ma.us Website: www.readingma.gov MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Selectmen ` FROM: Peter I. Hechenbleikner T DATE: December 4, 2008 RE: Agenda - December 9, 2008 TOWN MANAGER (781) 942-9043 1 c) The list of licenses and their status will be available for the Board of Selectmen to review and comment on prior to issuance of the licenses. 3a) Newly appointed Police Lieutenant Peter Garchinsky will be present for the traditional badge pinning ceremony. Lt. Garchinsky was promoted from the position of Sergeant and started his new position on December 1, 2008. 3bc) We have applicants for the Cultural Council and TTAC for interview and consideration for appointment. 4a) Consultant Rachel Stone and Human Resource Administrator Carol Roberts will be present to review the proposed Classification and Compensation Plan. This has been reviewed with Department Heads and affected staff. The first step is to adopt the Classification and Compensation Plan effective January 5, 2009. We will then place individuals in their proper grade and step in accordance with budget amendments approved by Town Meeting in November. 4b) Contrary to instructions, the property owner did advertise a hearing. In consultation with the Chairman, no hearing is required by Bylaw and none was posted. The Board can go ahead and consider renewal of the 24 hour operation. You have included in your packet a memo from Conservation Administrator Fran Fink relative to the status of the enviromnental issues of the site. 4c) In consultation with the Chairman, because this is the first renewal of the early opening permit, a hearing is scheduled for renewal of the early opening for Dunkin Donuts at 2 - 4 West Street. There are no staff concerns about renewal of this approval. 4d) The Savory Taste Restaurant on Main Street has been sold, and an application has been received for a beer and wine license for this site. Sign approvals have been granted. Staff has worked very hard with the applicant and its counsel to make this a smooth transition. 4e) As a phase in the implementation of the Downtown Improvement Project, staff is recommending that the new connection of Ash Street at Main Street south of Haven Street should be opened to two way traffic at this time. Practically, many people are using it as two way traffic and we should go ahead and acknowledge this. Staff recommendation is that until the signal light is installed, vehicles exiting Ash Street onto Main Street should be allowed to turn right only.

The comments we have gotten here at Town Hall have generally been positive. The major concerns about running this as an enterprise would be: How do we cost the bags or stickers How does the collector know, easily, who has paid - probably with a large sticker for each bag that would be clearly visible. Interestingly, this year even with the curbside collection, the trips to the compost center increased significantly from previous years - go figure. We'll certainly look at the option of making this into an enterprise system since that is the only way that I could see this program surviving during the coming budget year. Pete From: Torman, Harold S [mailto:Hal.Torman@lantheus.com] Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2008 8:41 AM To: Hechenbleikner, Peter Subject: Curbside Leaf Pick-Up Peter, I can't tell you how thrilled I was with the curbside leaf pick-up this year. It saved me 5 trips to the compost center and the related hassle of cleaning out the van. I believe there should be some serious consideration of making this a pay as you use program (maybe combined with the white goods sticker program??) and have it funded through a revolving fund to ensure it's a sustaining endeavour. I have to believe that residents are willing to pay for the convenience. The fund will receive revenue from sticker sales; maybe even leaf bag sales! 12/4/2008 ( 6 1 --'J Page 2 of 2 If the pay as you rake program is implemented, is there an option where some of the sticker or leaf bag sales could be run through the school PTO's and other non-profits as a fundraiser? In that case, the PTO's would have the ability to purchase stickers or leaf bags from the town at cost and resell them to parents at cost plus. The advantage to the parents is primarily convenience. Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.... Hal Torman Lantheus Medical Imaging Sr. Director Financial Planning, Analysis and Treasury Ops. Office: 978.671.8293 Cell: 781.771.1244 12/4/2008 Cameron and Cal-lie Arnott 31 Causeway Rd Reading, MA 01867 November 26, 2008 Edward D. McIntire Jr. Director of Public Works Town of Reading, MA 2[08 DEC -2 KI 11: L10 Mr. McIntire, I am writing in regards to the drainage problem that exists on Causeway Rd. Today is the day before Thanksgiving. Last night the rain brought 2+ inches, and because of the sloping in the road and the lack of a Catch Basin at the bottom of the slope, the water that rolls down Causeway Rd. collects in front of our house. The area becomes impassible, as I measured 8 inches of water that collected. In addition, with nowhere for the water to drain, it comes up our driveway and threatens to flood our basement. This is not an isolated incident. It occurs any time it rains more than an inch. When we first moved to the area in April of 2007, if the street flooded, the DPW would come out when we called and drain the street. Today, if we call for assistance, we are told we live on a private,road and therefore the DPW can not do anything to help us. With that, we were forced to let the water slowly drain down a manhole that was present in the deepest part of where the water collects. It could take up to 2 days to completely go down, but it would at least disappear in time. Recently this manhole was paved over by the DPW. Now, there is nowhere for the water to drain and we are living with a concern that each time it rains we could be flooded. Additional concerns involve our neighbors, one of whom. is restricted to a wheel chair. What happens if they need an ambulance and it can not reach them due to the flooding? And with winter here, the water and the entire perimeter will freeze, malting driving conditions dangerous. There are also environmental and health concerns. Mosquitoes are known to breed in standing water which leads to the spreading of Eastern Equine Encephalitis, a very serious health risk. Also, cars and trucks that attempt to drive thru the flooding leave behind a mixture of gas and oil which is visible on the surface of the water. We have heard many different reasons why no one can help us. We have been told we are a private road, yet we are plowed, have trash removal services, door to door mail delivery, and pay the same tax rates as other residents in town. We have also been told that it's not a private road, but instead we live on a road that has "not been accepted" by the town. From what I understand, there are tax benefits for the town if they make all roads acceptable, which is what Burlington, MA is currently doing. tj2-1 Something needs to be done. I am writing in hopes that a catch basin will be installed in the area to allow the water to properly drain. We have spoken to the Town Manager, who is aware of our situation as well as the Reading Conservation Committee and Reading Board of Selectmen, who as a favor to us, listened to our issue at a public meeting and attended an on-site visit of the area I write to you about. This should not come down as an expense the residents of Causeway Rd should have to pay for. We should be entitled to the same benefits as every other citizen in town. Thank you for your time.

Pete From: Ted Tye [mailto:Tye@NatDev.com] Seat: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 9:15 AM To: Hechenbleikner, Peter Cc: Kowalski, Carol Subject: Project Delay Pete, I am out sick today with very little voice. I called you yesterday to let you know that we are pulling back for the time being on the Reading projects. Despite all the good work that has gone into Reading Woods, the economic forces at hand are battering almost every real estate project in the area, including this one. With the credit market in upheaval, it makes it difficult to get anything started. Rather than exercise town officials and boards at this time, we have decided to go on hold and withdraw our applications. Hopefully, this is only temporary, and we are looking for ways to re-start in the near future. As you can imagine, this is as disappointing to us as it is to the town. I am copying Carol so that she is aware of this development and can adjust her agenda for next week. I'll be in touch soon.

This was the day before Thanksgiving which is traditionally a very busy night for restaurants and package stores. This liquor compliance check involved a 19 year old male and female who attempted to purchase alcohol without any identification. The Department's goal was for every establishment visited by these underage operatives to be carded by employees for proper identification. The Reading Police Department is pleased to report that we met 100% of our goal. Every establishment requested identification from the underage operatives. Thanks so much.

I have not reviewed the file yet to see whether there are any missing pieces, but things looked good on my last site visit. As part of the same permit, they removed all the accumulated sediments in the detention basin directly in front of the pump island and also the sediments in the wetlands next to the gas company driveway. They added rip-rap surfaces at the discharge points from the parking lot into the basin and the wetlands to help trap sediments in the future. The Certificate will require periodic cleaning. They also filed a remedial action plan with DEP for handling the contaminated soils and groundwater that they encountered when excavating the canopy footings and sediments, and have just issued a 21 E completion statement for that. All the contaminated soils and groundwater were carted away for proper disposal. The most recent report that I seem to have for the vapor problems that developed last February shortly after they finished the canopy is from May 2008. They were using the soil vapor extraction system to keep harmful vapors out of the building and had sealed off a number of cracks and drains inside the building that would allow vapors in. Air quality was good inside the building. They were planning to keep the system running until the soil vapors disappeared, and to continue monitoring closely. Another status report is due by November 30th. I don't see anything in the report about the actual source of the vapors. As far as I know, they are still doing the underground oxygenation treatment to encourage breakdown of contaminants that they have been conducting for several years to address problems that surfaced around 2001. The report we received a few months ago had at least one sampling site that continues to exceed standards. I think another report is due soon. So, things are a lot better than they were a year ago, but there are ongoing problems because of the haz mat under the pavement. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Mr. Hines thanked the School Committee for the opportunity to hold this meeting and reviewed the agenda. Mr. LeLacheur distributed a handout and reviewed the FYI 0 Budget Calendar, revenues, free cash, stabilization fund, Fincom reserves, interest earnings, accommodated costs and the Fincom finance policies. He stated that January 30 is a firm date to have the final voted budget to the Town Manager who in turn has to have the Town Manager budget to Fincom by mid February. He stated that Reading is in much better shape than many communities but we must be cautious and prudent in the ways we spend the free cash. Mr. Robinson distributed a handout to the committees proposing a judicious approach to using the reserves over the next three years. (See Attached) Ms. West cautioned the committees to go beyond one year because of the uncertainty on the state's part. Mr. Robinson would like to see a commitment to the process. He understands that numbers change and it is important to have a continuing dialog. Town Manager Hechenbleikner stated that the FY09 numbers are still unknown. We should start to have a better idea mid to late January. He feels that departments should start to construct a 0% increase budget for FYI0 and even then we may have to use a good amount of reserve cash. Departments must begin to establish priorities. 6 It was the consensus of the members of the Financial Forum that the: • The Town of Reading has practiced good fiscal responsibility. • It is early in the process and the boards need to continue to collaborate. As each department develops their budgets they must prioritize, collaborate and begin discussions early. • Departments shall develop a 0% increase budget and a level service budget with defined priorities should funding beyond 0% be available. On a motion by Mr. Goldv. seconded by Mr. Tafova the Board of Selectmen adjourned at 9:45 u.m. The vote was 3-0. Respectfully submitted, Secretary P Sb~ READING SCHOOL COMMITTEE Administrative Offices 82 Oakland Road Reading, MA 01867 781 944-5800 TO FROM DATE: Members of the Financial Forum Charles R. Robinson Chair, Reading School Committee November 24, 2008 Charles R. Robinson, Chair Christopher Caruso, Vice-Chair Lisa F. Gibbs Karen Janowski David C. Michaud Elaine L. Webb Patrick A. Schettini, Jr., J.D. Superintendent of Schools The current Finance Committee Reserve Policy states that reserves shall be maintained at 5%. Historically reserves have been a combination of Free Cash, Stabilization Fund, Finance Committee Reserve Fund, Sale of Real Estate Fund etc. Currently reserves are at a very healthy 10% or 5% over the FINCOM policy. The current distribution is as follows: Free Cash $4,917,000 Stabilization Fund $1,453,988 . - FINCOM Reserve Fund $127,375 There are various reasons that would require the use of reserves with probably the most important one being to balance the budget in a difficult year. Reading is headed into a difficult budget cycle which will probably last for the next two to three years. As such, we propose that we judiciously use reserves over the next three years in order to maintain services for our residents. A proposed schedule is as follows: - Year 1 (FY10): $1,000,000 - Year 2 (FY11): $1,000,000 - Year 3 (FY12): $1,000,000 In doing this, without accounting for annual regeneration, Reading will still have reserves at 5% ($3,500,000). satisfying the Finance Committee Reserve Policy. We respectfully ask that this proposal be given serious consideration as we are facing difficult times and our recent fiscal conservatism will allow us to get through this period without dismantling services. In the last five years we have worked too hard, both on the Town and School side, to make our community the envy of many in the area. We as the leaders of our community have the fiduciary responsibility to spend town funds wisely and spending funds to retain the level of quality in our town that our residents expect and deserve is maintaining our fiduciary responsibility. The citizens of the Town of Reading - whether they are our senior citizens or our students - deserve it.

This activity within the Town's right-of-way is in violation of the Town's By-Laws, regulations and policies. The following is a list of the violations: 1. In the right-of-way of Gleason Road, the sidewalk and grass strip has been dug up without a proper permit. 2. Activity on the right side of your property (as you face your home) appears to be the prelude to the construction of a .second driveway which also needs approval from the Town of Reading Engineering Division. Based on current Board of Selectman regulations, you do not have sufficient frontage to warrant a second driveway opening on your property. In order for a second driveway to be installed, a variance would need to be obtained from the Board of Selectmen. Due to the length of this process and the fact that the asphalt plants will be closing for the year within one week, the Town is requiring you to immediately restore your sidewalk and grass strip to its original condition within three (3) business days of receiving this letter.

Through Middlesex County Sheriff James DiPaola, we hope to receive a favorable decision to receive grant funding to conduct a feasibility study for this concept. A series of meetings were held with the Steering Committee from the above communities, and also included Middlesex County Sheriff James DiPaola and representatives from the Metropolitan Area Planning Council. The Steering Committee determined a letter of interest from all communities interested, be included in our grant proposal and a feasibility study be conducted. Our goal is to create an integrated and efficient regional network that takes advantage of the latest generation of trunked and digital communication systems. Fire/Police and EMS agencies must be able to communicate effectively during emergencies such as major fires, major crimes, as well as interoperability with local, state, county, and federal agencies. Another goal is to create a Regional Operations Center to enable both public safety and general government agencies to meet mission-critical communication objective efficiently. cerely, 1 Peter I.

It is our hope that these lovely wooden markers will help to showcase our pride in Reading's interesting and varied architectural history. The signs were designed by Reading resident Ann DiCicco, and the cost of their manufacture was underwritten by a donation form Archstone Corporation. Enclosed with this letter is a copy of our brand new West Street Historic District informational brochure. Copies of this brochure will be available at Town Hall and will be delivered to the offices of local realtors as well, in order to increase awareness of the District and all the marvelous qualities this neighborhood embodies. As the fine weather continues, and with it the opportunity for home improvement, please remember to contact the Commission with your plans for exterior alterations before seeking a building permit. The process is simple and straightforward, and we look forward to offering our input while you are in the planning stages of your project. For more information about the District or the Commission, please see our webpage under Boards and Committees at ReadingMA.gov, or contact the Commission directly at wsha,ci.readin2.ma.us. We look forward to working with you. Sincerely, The West Street Historic District Commission S"e, i Reading is a rare community in its architecture and history. Few towns have so many homes whose styles and construction methods span three centuries, and a heritage that includes settlement in the mid-1600s and a colonial militia that fought during the Battle of Lexington and Concord. The West Street Historic District reflects that rich heritage. It was the site of the first settlement in today's Reading and the site for the mustering of the militia on April 19, 1775. The District is a showcase of modest and diverse houses built from the mid-1700s to the Victorian Period to the post-World War II suburban boom. Numerous homes have been honored by being placed on the National Register of Historic Places. This architectural diversity reflects how West Street, like Reading itself, grew from a 17th-century farming village to a mature 21st-century suburb. The Town of Reading established the District in 2005 to help preserve and protect this unique neighborhood. The Commission which oversees the District is made up of Reading residents, including some who live in the District. We believe that by working together to preserve the District, we will not only enhance the Town of Reading, but enjoy the benefits of improved traffic flow and property values, as well as a sense of community. Take a virtuattour of the West Street Historic District on the Town web site :at www.readinuma.rov ff Z. ~ c y,. y~ ti West Street Historic District FAO Q: Where is the West Street Historic District? A: As shown on the map on the left, it runs along West Street from Fremont Street to County Road. Q: How many homes are in the District? A: 66 homes, on and near West Street, from Fremont Street to County Road. Q: What is the purpose of the District? A: The goal is to preserve the distinctive characteristics of buildings and places significant to Reading's history, maintain and improve the settings of those buildings and places, and assure that new construction is compatible with the District's architecture and streetscape. Q: What does that mean for me when I plan to do work on my house? A: All exterior work is subject to review by the Commission, even if the project does not require a building permit. Projects that will have a significant impact on the District will require a "Certificate of Appropriateness." A partial list is shown on the right. Q: How do I apply for a "Certificate of Appropriateness?" A: Applications are available at Town Hall or on line on the Commission's web page at www.readimma.aov Q: What if I have more questions? A: You can reach the Commission by email at wsha.ci.readinn.ma.us The West Street Historic District Commission... is not here to prevent change or "freeze" homes as they are. Rather, we are here to guide exterior changes that will balance individual needs and creativity with the District's historic character, with the goal of enhancing the quality of our District and our town, for the benefit of all of us.

With the addition of many deep-pocketed stores in our midst, it is well past time for the average homeowner to gain some tax advantage. With the extra income these stores generate, they also bring traffic and at times, the need for increased police presence. These latter are subsidized by the homeowners in larger proportion than is fair. A spliftax rate is the only proper response. ALL Selectpersons need to recognize this and vote accordingly.

If that space sits empty for any length of time, the businesses nearby don't stand a chance, and the whole area will deteriorate. Also, it seems to me that preventing the store's closing by either helping to find a buyer or helping a new grocery store to move in quickly would work out better financially for the town than letting it 'sit idle for months and months, during which shoppers will go elsewhere and the site will be less viable for a new business in the future. I wanted to suggest a few things that could be done immediately to improve the chances of getting another grocery into that space fast and keeping the area viable: 1. Could Arnold Rubin be persuaded to delay the closing of his store in order to allow more time to line up a buyer or to find a new grocery store to move in? 2. Are there economic incentives available from the town or from the state that could be offered to a grocer who wanted to move in, since it is located near the train and near the 1 center of town? What about tapping into SmartGrowth funds from the state or even using some town reserves for this effort, since so many local jobs are being lost and so many local businesses are being threatened by this closing? 3. Could RMLD and the gas or oil company that supplies Atlantic be persuaded to give generous breaks for a new store that upgrades old and inefficient equipment? 4. Could Eastern Bank be persuaded to give very good terms on loans to renovate and to buy new equipment for a store that wants to locate in that space? 5. Could Calareso's or any other grocery stores be approached to see if they'd be interested in that space? 6. Could the building's owners be persuaded to offer very favorable lease terms to a new store? 7. Could the town provide free or discounted legal services if there was interest in converting Atlantic into a cooperative or an employee-owned market? I hope you will act quickly to do what you can to prevent that area of town from becoming a dead zone. Thank you for your consideration.

I am a Reading resident who owns two Gennan Shepherds and am very diligent in respecting the town's laws regarding dogs and use of public spaces. I also have two children who utilize the town schools, parks, playgrounds and recreational areas. Because my family spends significant time in these areas, I have been personal witness to dog owner's inappropriate use of turf fields, despite very visible signage specifically prohibiting dogs/animals within these areas. While I am very much in support the proposed change to the rule, I am concerned with the town's ability to enforce such a rule. The proposed rule states that it is enforceable by the police department. Unfortunately, the police have many other more important matters to deal with. We still have to rely on the integrity of the dog owners to be aware of and follow the rules, and the courage of others to speak tip when they see a violation. 12/3/2008 Page 2 of 3 In the past when I have observed dog owners with their pets on the turf, I have politely approached theirs on the matter. I have asked, "Are you aware that dogs are not allowed on the turf?" I use this wording so as to provide them with an opportunity to say "no." Most of the time, the response I get is an indignant, "yes." I usually follow up by explaining that the town has invested huge amounts of money to provide our children with these wonderful turf field areas upon which to enjoy sporting activities. My children use these fields, and dogs will ruin them. This past spring, I spoke to a man with his dog inside the "lacrosse" turf field adjacent to the softball fields at the high school. After talking to the roan about the rule, I actually asked him why he felt it was OK to have his dog on the field. I was curious and I just wanted to know what he was thinking! Needless to say, the man was not very happy and became very defensive. He began yelling and using obscenities, creating a public display in front of a park Rill of families enjoying aspring time 3rd/4t" grade girls softball game. I find it extremely sad that marry people these days carry on their daily activities with little regard for rules, regulations and rights of others. They seem to feel that the rules don't apply to them. And, as long as they don't get caught doing something prohibited, it's OK. The sad thing about this incident is that the man was a father of one of the girls playing softball. What sort of example was the man setting for his child and others? We wonder why there is a problem with youth respecting rules and authority these days. Recently, there was a survey done regarding use of parks in town. When I completed my survey, I suggested that the town consider adding a fenced in dog park to the recreational areas. This may be one way to help with the inappropriate use of playing fields by dog owners, as I know this problem goes beyond just the turf fields. It includes other areas like Hunt Field, schools, etc. Such a measure wouldn't alleviate the entire problem, but by providing an alternative fenced. in area for dog use it may help. Thank you for allowing me to provide you with my feedback and support regarding this issue. I hope the addition of the rule is successful in keeping dogs off the turf fields. With the added public attention being given to the problem, I am hopeful that dog owners will take more responsibility for their actions and more people will speak up if they see fields being inappropriately used. If I can be of any assistance to the town in its efforts to help alleviate the problem, please feel free to contact me.
