Dear World Cafe participant:
Thanks for participating in the World Cafe. The 225 participants and the organizers all
felt that this was a very worthwhile effort, and it was exciting and energizing too. Now
comes the follow-up.
Deb Gilburg and Kerry Dunnell have done a great job in mining the detailed information
from the World Cafe night, and that information is now available on the World Cafe web
site at www. read inaworldcafe. ora. In addition, the map and the actual sticky notes that
you all created are on display at the Library.
In my office we have put together an email list of all of the participants. I am now
working with Town and School Department staff to use the information and priorities
from the World Cafe to shape our own priorities and activities. This is a process that will
take a while, but I do want to keep you informed on how we are doing, and how your
thoughts and opinions are helping to shape your Town.
In order to continue this communication, I'd like to begin to directly address one of the
themes from the World Cafe - improved communication. Therefore with your
permission, I'd like to do a few things:
♦ Directly connect you as a subscriber to the quarterly newsletter "Your Community
Connection" that is available on the Town web site. That way we will be able to
directly connect you to Town news without your having to search on the web site.
o Connect you as a subscriber to a Town Manager's blog, which I will start soon. I am
eager to experiment with this new method, and will be using a one-way format with
frequent communications so that interested parties can get focused weekly
information about major happenings.
♦ I would like to use your names as potential volunteers for Town and School volunteer
positions. Reading has 47 formal standing Boards, Committees, and Commissions,
as well as periodic ad hoc (short term, focused topic) groups. We depend on a steady
supply of volunteers. By participating in the World Cafe you have demonstrated a
strong interest in the community. Many of you have even volunteered in specific ways
to work with and for your community. We have lots of volunteer opportunities - large
and small. Attached is a list of all the volunteer positions, plus two new Committees
that are being established, along with the town application form for you to fill out if you
are interested.
This is a start on utilizing the ideas and energy from the World Cafe. If there are no
objections within a week, I'll go ahead and move forward on these ideas. I look forward
to working with you for the improvement of our community of Reading.

December 5, 2007
Mr. Peter Hechenbleikner
Town Manager
Reading Town Hall
16 Lowell Street
Reading, MA 01867
Dear Mr. Hechenbleikner:
Thank you for your continued support of Mystic Valley Elder Services. Enclosed is a detailed
inventory and value of services delivered to Reading's older residents by Mystic Valley Elder
Services during the past year. I believe that this accounting demonstrates in a concrete way how
your local contribution assists us in returning a substantial amount of direct support to Reading.
Without Reading's assistance and that of the other seven participating cities and towns, Mystic
Valley Elder Services would be unable to continue to provide the level of crucial supportive
services currently available.
We have enclosed an invoice in the amount of $5,593 for Reading's FY 2008 cash contribution.
Payment of the invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt of this bill would be most helpful to us
in meeting our FY 2008 fiscal and programmatic obligations. As you may kilow, Mystic Valley
Elder Services is both the federally designated Area Agency'on Aging as well as the state's
designated Aging Service Access Point for the Town of Reading. We received these designations
through an application process approved by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' Executive
Office of Elder Affairs.
For next fiscal year (FY 2009), we are asking that you budget the same amount as this year's
contribution of $5,593. For the sixth year in a row, we recognize the fiscal constraints that you
are dealing with; therefore, we will not request an increase in the coming year. Our goal is to
raise the additional money we need to meet the increasing demand for services directly from
private sources. However, your support is crucial to our ability to provide needed in home and
community based services to area residents.
I want to personally thank you for your community's continued support of MVES' programs and
services through good and bad economic times. We will always be here for you and the residents
of Reading who need help at home.
If you have any questions concerning the enclosed bill or our service accounting, please feel free
to call me or Sean Hubacz, Director of Finance at (781) 324-7705.
Sincerely,
Daniel J. O'Leary
Executive Director

Subject: ENERGY STAR's Change a Light campaign
Hi Peter,
Would you kindly forward this to your employees.
Thanks,
Priscilla
RMLD has joined Americans nationwide in the fight against global warming by encouraging its customers
and town employees to change at least one light at home to one that has earned the ENERGY STAR label.
RMLD began its efforts on February 15 and is working with 13 elementary schools in Reading, North Reading,
Wilmington and Lynnfield to reach out to students and their families. Based on its enrollment, the school in each
community with the highest percentage of pledgers will receive a $2,000 RMLD grant to make energy efficient
improvements to their school.
We would like to invite you to keep energy savings at the flop of your mind and to play an additional, vital role in
helping to fight global warming by commiting to change at least one light to an energy-efficient compact fluorescent
light bulb (CFL). Please help us attain our goal of reaching 1,000 pledgers by June 1.

To all Public Safety Telecommunicators,
April 4, 2008
The Week of April 6-12, 2008 is National Public Safety Telecommunicator's Week. In
recognition of this event, I would like to thank all the Public Safety Dispatchers for their
hard work and dedication to the community throughout the year.
As a Public Safety Dispatcher for the Town of Reading, you are the primary contact for
the residents of Reading and the Fire Department during an emergency
situation. You interact with people in crisis during every shift and do it in a highly
professional mamier.
Each and every day the residents and Firefighters depend on you to answer our
emergency calls for assistance, determine the appropriate response, dispatch the
appropriate personnel and equipment, provide support to people in distress, provide life-
saving instructions and also support the emergency response. You are the first point of
contact when the public needs assistance and are responsible for making sure Firefighters
have as much accurate information as possible about the incidents they are responding to,
for the safety public and the responding Firefighters.
The Reading Fire Department recognizes and appreciates the critical role you have in the
Town of Reading's emergency response. You are professionals who are the first point of
contact for a person who is experiencing an emergency and provide a vital link to
Firefighters who are on scene.
It takes a very special person to be able to be a Public Safety Dispatcher. The level of
expertise involved in providing the public with a reliable, coordinated'public safety
response, originating from the first phone call, to the dispatch of the appropriate
personnel and providing on going support to the emergency scene is truly remarkable.
On behalf of the Reading Fire Department, I would like to thank all of the Town of
Reading's Public Safety Dispatchers for their hard work and dedication to the community
throughout the year. Thank you for all you do!
Sincerely,
Gregory J. Burns
Chief of Department

Subject: RE: Water Bill
Hi Peter,
I just got back today from visiting the grandkids and just remembered about your Thursday deadline about information for the
board. I intend to keep it simple and explain that based on my home history since November, 2004, according to Town records I
have utilized an average of 1800 cf per period of usage. This is far less than the December, 2007 recording of 4700 cf. You have
indicated that there have been two similar instances but you did not say when they occurred. No matter, two or three in 45 years
of residency is not a reoccurring incident. I have no positive reason as to what occurred to cause such a spike in the meter
reading. I am sorry to take up your time and that of the boards but I just can't let this pass without venting my frustrations at
someone in hopes of resolving this matter. Thank you for your time and I will see you on the eighth.

Hi Pete,
For tomorrow's meeting, I have a few questions about water use at the Bordieris:
1. Is it possible to collect a history of water use over time to show when the
spikes have occurred?
History 1985 - present, attached.
2, Are there any other water customers in town with a similar issue or complaint?
There are complaints every time we send out bills. Staff discusses the
consumer's issue(s) with them to try and identify the reason(s). Readings
are checked and meters are tested if the owner requests. If the meter tests
correctly (within American Water Works Association guidelines), the bills
stands as issued and the owner pays for the test ($15.00). If the meter is
over-recording, there is no charge for the test and the bill is abated as
appropriate.
3. Are there other single family homes with similar volume of water use?
The usage at this location has averaged 2,373 Cubic Feet per quarter from
August 18, 2004 to February 11, 2008. The average residential account uses
2,250 Cubic Feet per quarter.
4. Do the Bordieris have an irrigation system?
Yes.
5. Do they now have a new remote reading meter to get more frequent
readings?
There has been a radio read unit at this location since 2002. We generally
do not read the meters more than quarterly.
Thanks, Rick

COLD-WATER METERS-DISPLACEMENT TYPE, BRONZE MAIN CASE 11
4.2.8.1 Normal flow limits. At any rate of flow within the normal test-flow
limits as listed in Table 1, the meter shall register not less than 98.5 percent and not
more than 101.5 percent of the water that actually passes through it.
4.2.8.2 Minimum flow rate. At the minimum test-flow rate to the lowest
normal test-flow rate as listed in Table 1, the meter shall register not less than
95 percent and not more than 101 percent of the water that actually passes
through it.
4.2.9 Plastic covers, top or bottom design. The design of plastic covers, top
or bottom (Sec. 4.1.9), shall meet the following requirements:
4.2.9.1 Fatigue limit. Covers, top or bottom, shall be designed to be
watertight and capable of withstanding, without exceeding the fatigue limit of the
material or being structurally damaged, a hydrostatic. pressure of two times the rated
maximum working pressure (300 psi [2,100 kPa]' minimum) for a period of 15 min.
4.2.9.2 Burst pressure. Covers, top or bottom, not designed to break shall be
designed to have a burst pressure of at least four times the rated maximum working-line
pressure (600 psi [4,200 kPa] minimum). Breakable covers, top or bottom, shall be
designed to have a burst pressure of at least three times the rated, maximum
working-line pressure (450 psi [3,100 kPa]). Components shall be watertight at 150 psi
(1,050 kPa) after being subjected to a minimum of 100,000 pressure cycles of 100-300
psi (700-2,100 kPa) in 1.5 sec and a hold time of 1 min and followed by an immediate
release of pressure to the 100-psi (700-kPa) lower limit.
Sec. 4.3 Detailed Design
4.3.1 Main casing. All meters shall have an outer case with separate,
removable. measuring chambers. Cases shall not be repaired in any manner. The inlet
and outlet shall have a common axis. Connection flanges shall be parallel.
4.3.1.1 Small-size meter casings. Casings of meters in sizes 1/2 in. (13 mm)
through 1 in. (25 mm) shall be of either frost-protection or split-case design, as
designated by the purchaser's specifications.
4.3.2 Connections.

To: Board of Selectmen
From: Peter I. Hechenbleikner, Town Manager
Date: Tuesday, April 08, 2008
Re: Water Storage
Following up on the last discussion with the Board of Selectmen, I have met with staff
about the issue of how to work with the MWRA on the needed water supply
redundancy and water storage. As part of that discussion there were also some
questions that the Board of Selectmen had raised, and they are addressed as
follows:
• in sizing 6.5 mg tank storage capacity, did they assume that Reading would
retain storage volume? Yes If so, how much? 1.75 MG - approximately
equal to a day's supply
• If.MWRA storage is built in Reading, do we need to retain our own storage?
What is the case in other MWRA served communities? See attached Charts
• Can/will all or some of the water main improvements be done regardless of
water storage amounts and location? Yes - particularly the
interconnection with Stoneham.
• Since the primary driving determinant for the height of the storage tanks is
the elevations in Stoneham, can higher (in elevation) tanks be built in
Stoneham and if storage is needed in Reading can lower tanks be built
serving Reading? Not by the MWRA - they need the storage to serve the
entire 6 community area.
• Can the 6.5 mgd storage capacity be split into two or more locations? yes
In order to work towards agreement between the Town of Reading and the MWRA
on the issues of water storage and redundancy, both of which are important to
Reading, I would suggest that 2 members of the Board of Selectmen be designated
to work with staff including meeting(s) with the MWRA staff and state representatives
as appropriate, to have a discussion on all of the issues. This Reading group would
then report progress to the full Board of Selectmen within a specific time frame (I
suggest 3 months). The purpose of the Selectman/staff group is to be able to spend
the time to fully understand all of the issues and make sure that the MWRA fully
understands all of Reading's issues and needs.
