Hechenbleikner DATE: May 30, 2008 RE: Selectmen's Agenda - June 3, 2008 TOWN MANAGER (781) 942-9043 James Bonazoli will be holding office hours at 6:30 p.m. in. the Conference Room. 2a) As you know Anna Dixon has requested that Sally Hoyt be recognized locally as she has been by the State for the Unsung Heroine. We put this on just ahead of the time for appointment of Constables so that this can be done together. 3) The appointment process is clear from the paperwork. We, of course, do not know in advance how many people will be showing up. A number of incumbents have requested to be reappointment and they typically do not show up for reappointments. 4a) Margaret Soli, Chairman, will be in for the Highlights section of the Selectmen's meeting to review the work of the Human Relations Advisory Committee. 4b) This is the annual amendments to the FY2009 Compensation Plan effective July 1, 2008. The chart reflects a 2% increase in the Compensation Plan. Additionally, there are a couple of minor amendments proposed for the Classification Plan at this time. 4c) Enclosed in this material is a chart that we have been developing for follow up on the DPW Study. This is in draft form and will be more fully formed for Tuesday night discussion with the Board of Selectmen. 4d) In your material you have a request for an extension of the Reading Ice Arena lease for the Burbank Arena. The original term of the lease was 10 years and then it can be extended in 5 year increments. The Burbank Arena proposes to do a fairly large capital improvement (not a large floor area) by adding a woman's locker room. They would like to have a new 10 year lease for this purpose so they will have a guaranteed length of time to amortize the cost of those capital improvements. I reviewed this matter with Town counsel and she has no problem with what is being proposed. Site plan and Conservation approval will be required for the work that is proposed. Early discussion with the Conservation Administrator does not indicate any problems with what is being proposed. 4e) Selectmen Steve Goldy would like to discuss the concept of having a student member of the Board of Selectmen. He will have material on that issue for the Board. 7a) I will need a brief Executive Session with the Board of Selectmen to discuss settlement of litigation.

The Board has adopted a policy of not sending substantive responses to emails in order to try to stay in compliance with the Commonwealth's open meeting law which prohibits policy discussions by the Board outside of an open public meeting. Please understand that the Board values your input on issues and your correspondence will be included in the materials circulated to the Board prior to its next meeting and it is available as part of the public record. The Board members will have a chance to comment during an upcoming public meeting. If you want to have a personal discussion of the issue with a member of the Board, we hold "office" hours in Reading Town Hall before the first regularly scheduled meeting of each month at 6:30 PM in the first floor conference room. Thank you again for contacting the Board of Selectmen. Ben Tafoya Secretary Reading Board of Selectmen From: Penta, Lawrence [mailto:Lawrence.Penta@tdbanknorth.com] Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2008 11:39 AM To: Reading - Selectmen Subject: Tree Limb I need to appeal to the Board of Selectmen for the removal of a tree limb that extends over my driveway from a tree which sits on my front lawn. The limb fallings have been causing damage to my personal property, namely our automobiles, for quite some time, leaving a black film on the vehicle finishes. I have notified the town tree warden and public works director on two occasions, this past fall, and May'08 respectively. I have noticed much work being done by the town this spring in the neighborhood cutting similar tree 5/29/2008 Page 2 of 2 limbs in similar settings. I would like to meet with the Board to review the matter and the unprofessional comments made to me, a resident and taxpayer of Reading, by the tree warden this past fall, or if necessary, request a public hearing on the matter. Please let me know the appropriate forum including date and time to discuss the matter.

One of those bills is H3279, copy attached, which allows towns to pass a bylaw to impose fines if double poles are not removed within 90 days. I thought perhaps the Selectmen may wish to ask Reading's Reps. and Senator to support the bill. Ellen Ellen Callahan Doucette, Esq.

May 9, 2008 Board of Selectmen Town of Reading 16 Lowell Street Reading, MA 01867 Dear Board of Selectmen ~Y.r9QM3:®b READING ICE ARENA AUTHORITY, IN 51 SYMONDS WAY READING, MA 01867 (781) 942-2271 At the last meeting the Board of Directors of the Authority, the Board discussed the need for locker room facilities that would accommodate female teams and more specifically the Reading girls' varsity hockey team. At the time the original facility was designed and constructed girls' organized hockey in Reading did not exist. Now there is a girls' varsity team, youth level teams and the early stage of a woman's team. After discussion, the Board unanimously agreed that the need exists for female facilities and the board authorized me to further pursue that goal. In reviewing our building layout, the expansion of the existing footprint adjacent to the current boys' varsity locker room would best accommodate new female locker rooms. We would want to construct a separate girls' varsity locker room, toilet facilities and another locker for females. In order to accomplish this and obtain the necessary funding, we request that the board agree to a ten-year extension of the existing lease. This extension will allow the authority to amortize the expansion costs over that period of time and have a viable addition. We attach an original of the site plan with the expanded area shown on it. As illustrated, the expansion will not have an impact on the parking. Based on preliminary conversations with the Conservation Commission administrator, the initial opinion is that the expansion would not have an impact on the wetlands. We look forward to your consideration and response in the near future as this is a project we would commence promptly in an effort to have the facilities available to Reading teams as soon as possible. We are most available to meet with you or a subcommittee of the Board to discuss this in more detail.
