I appreciate your time and desire to listen to our concerns regarding the safety of community members crossing on Birch Meadow Drive. I am pleased to hear of the new safety measures planned for the Birch Meadow area this summer. I am confident that the new safety measures presented by the town, coupled with the addition of a crosswalk near the emergency access road will only add to the overall safety of the Birch Meadow complex: I look forward to the Town's recommendations regarding the expansion of the school zone on Birch Meadow Drive. Again, many thanks for your time regarding this matter. Sincerely, Anne Joyce G 6/12/2008 r ! )nO B EGAD- SECE' h1V. Cumulative.

In addition Article 4-10 of the Reading Home Rule Charter provides for the appointment by the Board of Selectmen of a Land Bank Committee. Neither document is clear as to the membership or mission of the Land Bank Committee. The purpose of this policy is to establish the details of this Committee. There is hereby established a three (3) member Land Bank Committee. The Committee will be made up of three (3) members appointed for 3 year terms, so appointed that one term shall expire in each year. In selecting the Committee membership of 3 members, the Board of Selectmen shall appoint all members and shall give consideration to members representing the following interests within the community: • Experience with land records; • Experience with legal proceedings involving land transactions; • Knowledge of the Community; • Experience with information technology and it's uses in records management; • Knowledge of and experience in local government in Massachusetts. The Land Bank Committee shall serve as a resource to Town government providing information in its possession on Town owned land. In performing its mission, the Land Bank Committee shall undertake the following tasks with and in cooperation with appropriate Town staff- • Using the latest technology, catalogue and maintain an ongoing file of information on all land in which the Town has, or in the past has had an ownership or interest, including easements; • Upon request, or upon knowledge that Town Meeting, the Board of Selectmen, or any other officer or body of the Town has interest in any particular parcel of above described land, the Land Bank Committee shall provide to that body a synopsis of the information on that property that the Land Bank Committee has in its possession; • As requested, the Land Bank Committee will do research on property that the Town may have an interest in acquiring in deed or easement. • With staff, organize the periodical perambulation of the boundaries of the Town of Reading. • Make recommendations to the Board of Selectmen, the Town Manager, and other bodies of the Town on measures appropriate to implement this policy. This Committee shall administratively fall within the Department of Finance. Staff as available will be assigned by the Town Manager to work with the Committee.

If threats of a fighting storm are in the area, all coaches, officials, and players should be on guard that lighting is a possibility. Coaches and officials are expected to keep their eyes on the sky. It is recommended to check weather forecasts before leaving for a game. 2. The FIRST sign of lighting or thunder will suspend any games/practices from continuing at that moment. 3. The league official, umpire/ref, or coach will instruct all players, coaches and fans that a danger is present and they should seek shelter immediately. Each league should establish prior who will make the decision. 4. All players, coaches, fans and umpires are expected to take cover immediately. Recommended places for shelter are buildings with active electrical circuits or hard-top vehicles. 5. Wait at least 30 minutes after the last lightning flash before resuming activities. If field conditions allow you to continue and lighting has not been present for 30 minutes, teams may continue play. 6. Umpire/ Refs, Coaches, or League Officials will determine whether or not it is safe to resume the outdoor activity. (This person will be established by the Organization.) 7. If anyone is struck by lightning (players, coaches, fans or umpires) CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY. IMPORTANT NOTE: The rule of thumb for estimating distance from a thunderstorm involves counting the number of seconds between when lightning is seen and when thunder is heard. This is called the "flash to bang" method. However, many people mistakenly believe that the equation is one second equals one mile, when in reality, FIVE seconds equals one mile. To quote from the NCAA policy: "If an individual counts 15 seconds between seeing the flash and hearing the bang, 15 divided by 5 equals three; therefore the lightning flash is approximately 3 miles away.

Elradley-lones©hou.state.ma.us www.bradjonesonline.com June 9, 2008 Mr. James Bonazoli 16 Lowell Street Reading, MA 01867 hJ E3 o~ na Dear Mr. Bonazoli: aa. Knowing of your interest in having a dedicated turn signal installed in the northbowq- center lane of Route 28 where it intersects Franklin Street, I wanted to take a moment tt update you. As you may know, I wrote to MassHighway last fall to ask that such a dedicated turn signal be installed at this intersection. Unfortunately, MassHighway felt that the traffic patterns at the intersection did not justify the new signalization. Subsequently, I asked for a compilation of accident data from the Reading Police Department. Once my office was in receipt of this report we requested a meeting with MassHighway officials to present the report as well as the anecdotal evidence you and many others have shared with my office. I am pleased to let you know that the meeting is scheduled for next week. At this time it remains to be seen what the outcome of the meeting will be, but it is my hope that the presentation of these details will convince MassHighway of the need for the additional signalization. Please be assured that I will update you once a final decision has been reached. If there is anything I can do to assist you in the meantime, please do not hesitate to ..contact, my office. H.

TISEI MIDDLESEX AND ESSEX ROOM 308, STATE HOUSE (617) 722-1206 Honorable Ben Tafoya, Secretary Reading Board of Selectmen c/o Reading Town Hall 16 Lowell St. Reading, MA 01867 Dear Selectman Tafoya: June 10, 2008 E3 00 W a w ~n Thank you for making me aware of the Selectmen's concerns about the proposed Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) changes included in the Senate budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2009. Please be assured that I understand the Board's concerns about increasing the COLA base for municipal retirees from $12,000 to $16,000. Although this change would provide a modest increase in monthly income for retirees, I am well aware it would have a much larger impact on communities like Reading, which would be forced to adjust - and likely extend - its unfunded pension liability payment schedule to reflect these changes. The Massachusetts Municipal Association (MMA) has already weighed in on this issue, and has warned that the COLA provisions will increase costs for cities and towns without providing any new revenue stream to pay for the enhanced pension benefits. MMA is also opposed to the state mandating the base increase without local input or approval. During the Senate budget debate, an amendment was adopted that would make the COLA base increase a local option. I have enclosed a copy of the redrafted language for the Board's review. Because the House and Senate budgets contain different COLA language, the fate of this proposal will ultimately be decided in conference committee. I will be sure to contact you once the committee completes its work to provide you with an update on the status of this proposal. Once again, thank you for taking the time to make me aware of the Board's concerns. If I can be of any further assistance in this or any other matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. chard .

Morrissey, Galluccio, Timilty, Hart, Pachecho and Marzilli moved that the bill be amended by deleting Section 15 and inserting in place thereof the following section:- "Section 15. (a) Section 103 of said chapter 32 is amended by inserting the following new paragraph:- 0) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) to the contrary, any system, by accepting the provisions of this paragraph as hereinafter provided, shall establish a base amount of $16,000 upon which the cost-of-living adjustment shall be calculated. Prior to accepting the provisions of this paragraph, the board of such system, in consultation with the commission, shall determine the costs associated with the cost of living adjustment that may be paid in accordance with this section. Acceptance of this paragraph shall be by a majority vote of the board of such system, subject to the following approval procedure: in the case of a city the city council in accordance with its charter, in the case of a town, the town meeting, in the case of a district, the district members, and, in the case of an authority, the governing body. In the case of a county or region, acceptance of this paragraph must be approved by the governmental units, the employees of which are members of any such system, as follows: the board of selectmen of every town which is a member of the county or regional system, the county commissioners on behalf of a county, the district members in a district and the governing body in an authority, with the vote of each governmental unit weighted in the proportion that the number of employees in such unit bears to the total number of employees in all governmental units of such system as of the succeeding January first. Approval in a county or region shall be by no less than two-thirds of the weighted vote being cast in the affirmative. Acceptance of this paragraph shall be deemed to have occurred upon the filing of the certification of such vote and approval with the commission. A decision to accept the provisions of this paragraph may not be revoked. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (6A) of Section 22 or Section 22D to the contrary, for each system that has accepted the provisions of this paragraph, the board, in consultation with the commission, shall prepare a funding schedule which shall reflect the costs and the actuarial liabilities attributable to the cost of living allowance that may be paid in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph and said schedule shall be designed to reduce the applicable retirement system's pension liability to zero by such year, that may be subsequent to June 30, 2028, as approved by the commission. The board shall file revised funding schedules triennially with the joint committee on public service until such costs and liabilities are reduced to zero. (b) Section 22D of said chapter 32, as appearing in the 2006 Official Edition, is amended by inserting in line 29 after the word "approve" the following words: - provided further, however, that in the event that a system has accepted the provisions of paragraph 0) of Section 103, the funding schedule, and any updates thereto, shall be designed to reduce the unfunded actuarial liability of said system to zero as of such year, that may be subsequent to June 30, 2028, as the commission shall approve." i7
