Town Manager

Reading, MA 01867 June 2, 2006
Dear Peter and members of the Board of Selectmen,
I would like to submit my name for consideration for the new
ad hoc committee on downtown parking, filling one of the
residents' slots.
I am a 12-year resident of Reading and, for the past eight
years, have owned a home on Linden Street with my wife and
three young children. I am a professional journalist,
employed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's
magazine, "Technology Review."
I and my family members are regular patrons of many downtown
businesses. We are supportive and appreciative of the
recent upgrades, and are predisposed to doing what is
reasonable and necessary to help them. I am a fan of the new
building on Haven Street and look forward to seeing how the
new "mixed-use" rezoning plays out. The Town has made some
wise planning decisions and I'd like to see this continue.
I also represent a community perspective that holds we
should be very wary of decisions that tend to erode
Reading's residential character. We must do what we can to
mitigate traffic impacts on all-residential streets flanking
and serving the Reading Square and Depot areas. A leafy,
low-traffic downtown area can be a very appealing place to
visit and shop.
Thank you for considering me. Please don't hesitate to
contact me if you have any questions or require any
additional information.
Sincerely,
David Talbot

RE: Reading Cultural Council (RCC)
21T6 APP 18 Pam 3: 46
Attached is the Town of Reading form regarding reappointment to the RCC. June 2006
marks the end of my 6' year as a member of the Council and according to Massachusetts
Cultural Council guidelines, the conclusion of my eligible term. At this time I will step
down from the RCC.
It has been a wonderful experience to volunteer and serve the Reading community on
this prestigious council. I would like to thank you, and Paula Schena, for your excellent
support during my tenure as Chair of the RCC. I would also like to thank all the helpful
staff at town hall who have worked with the Council on financial issues, and officially
receiving the grant applications. Special thanks to the Reading Recreation Department
staff for partnering with the RCC to present the Cultural Recognition Award.
During the transition period, I will introduce you to Elizabeth (Liz) Whitelam, who will
assume the chairmanship of the RCC effective July 1'. I'm sure you will enjoy working
with Liz, and I hope you will continue to support the RCC and it's goals.
Thanks again,

2006: 1-2-3 Pledge
Page 1 of 8
We have developed the 2006: 1-2-3 Pledge for Reading residents
and local government officials which lists specific Actions to take to
reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The pledge represents a small but
important baby step in the process of changing our lifestyle from one
that depletes the resources and destroys the ecosystem that we all
depend on for life to one that sustains our environmental support
structure now and for many generations to come.
The Action categories, 'Transportation', 'Energy' and 'Food Related'
were chosen because these are the areas where individual consumer
choices have the biggest environmental impact. It is easy to get
overwhelmed to the point of inaction with all the worrisome news in
the media regarding climate change and the well-meaning books
which offer 1001 actions you can take to help the environment. Such
book sometimes promote actions that might have little positive impact
or whose positive impact is the subject of debate. It is our intent to
help you move beyond inaction arising from anxiety, misinformation
or too much information. Therefore we based our pledge Actions on 0,3

about it. However, the overwhelming consensus in the scientific
community is that global warming is indeed happening and is indeed
due to human activity. We urge you to see two movies that will help

opinion on climate change is that the
average global temperature has risen 0.6 ±
0.2 °C over the 20th century, and that it is
likely that "most of the warming observed
over the past 50 years is attributable to
human activities". The increased volumes
of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse
gases (GHGs) released by the burning of
fossil ffiels, land clearing and agriculture,
and other human activities, are the
primary sources of the human-induced
component of warming.

2) What can I do to help?
We in the developed world have a large
environmental footprint. We use far more
of the world's resources than we produce.
"If everybody lived like today's North
Americans, it would take at least two
additional planet Earths to product the
resources, absorb the wastes, and
otherwise maintain life-support2."
"Our country (the U.S.) is responsible for
a lopsided share of the total consumption
of key products and materials. We use
one-third of the world's paper, despite
representing just 5 percent of the world's
population. Similarly, we use 25 percent
of the oil, 23 percent of the coal, 27
percent of the aluminum, and 19 percent
of the eopperl".
There are some simple steps you can take
to minimize your environmental footprint
and reduce your wastes, including green
house gases. The biggest impact you can
have is in the areas of Transportation,
Energy and Food Related Issues. Follow

5) What's harmful about carbon dioxide
emissions, COZ?
What are green house gases?
Many chemical compounds found in the
Earth's atmosphere, such as carbon
dioxide, act as "greenhouse gases." These
http://home.comcast.net/-tsopchak/RNCEC_123 Pledge_home.htm
-7,
6/9/2006
New Page 1 Page 7 of 8
gases allow sunlight to enter the
atmosphere freely but trap the heat in the
atmosphere. Over time, the amount of
energy sent from the sun to the Earth's
surface should be about the salve as the
amount of energy radiated back into
space, leaving the temperature of the
Earth's surface roughly constant.
Many gases exhibit these "greenhouse"
properties. Some of them occur in nature
(water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane,
and nitrous oxide), while 'others are
exclusively human-made (like gases used
for aerosols).
Why are atmospheric levels increasing?
Levels of several important greenhouse
gases have increased by about 25 percent
since large-scale industrialization began
around 150 years ago. During the past 20
years, about three-quarters of human-
made carbon dioxide emissions were from
burning fossil fuels.
Concentrations of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere are naturally regulated The
movement of carbon between the
atmosphere and the land and oceans is
dominated by natural processes, such as
plant photosynthesis. While these natural
processes can absorb some of the net 6.1
billion metric tons of carbon dioxide
emissions produced each year, an
estimated 3.2 billion metric tons is added
to the atmosphere annually. The Earth's
positive imbalance between emissions and
absorption results in the continuing
growth in greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere.
What effect do green house gases have
on climate change?
Given the natural variability of the Earth's
climate, it is difficult to determine the
extent of change that humans cause. In
computer-based models, rising
concentrations of greenhouse gases
generally produce an increase in the q
http://home.comeast.net/-tsopchak/RNCEC_123_Pledge_home.htm 6/9/2006
New Page 1
average temperature of the Earth. Rising
temperatures may, in turn, produce
changes in weather, sea levels, and land
use patterns, commonly referred to as
"climate change."
Assessments generally suggest that the
Earth's climate has warmed over the past
century and that human activity affecting
the atmosphere is likely an important
driving factor. A National Research
Council study dated May 2001 stated,
"Greenhouse gases are accumulating in
Earth's atmosphere as a result of human
activities, causing surface air
temperatures and sub-surface ocean
temperatures to rise. Temperatures are, in
fact, rising. The changes observed over
the last several decades are likely mostly
due to human activities, but we cannot
rule out that some significant part of these
changes is also a reflection of natural
variability."
However, there is uncertainty in how the
climate system varies naturally and reacts
to ernissions of greenhouse gases. Making
progress in reducing uncertainties in
projections of fixture climate will require
better awareness and understanding of the
buildup of greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere and the behavior of the
climate system.

PARKING SURVEY RESULTS
The Parking Sub-Committee of the Chamber of Commerce was established in March 2006 based
on the demands of area businesses for both public and employee parking.
Certain members of the chamber found that the existing parking configurations were not meeting
the needs of its customers. Other members observed that public parking spaces are regularly
being used by day long employees, who to avoid fines move their vehicles intermittently during
the day.
In response to a Town/Business forum with the Police Chief and Town Manager; a proposal was
made to adjust all public parking in Business Districts A and B to 2 hours a day. Concern was
expressed that this 2 hour parking limitation would not allow enough time for a residence to
complete all of his/her errands including grocery shopping and may in fact discourage use of
local businesses. In addition, the proposal does not adequately address the displaced employees
that can no longer park within the business district, if their shift is longer than 2 hours.
It was the opinion of committee that Downtown Reading businesses have transitioned to
primarily service businesses that require an increased level of employees to support their
operation. Based on this change, and in response to the above concerns the Parking Sub-
committee of the Chamber of Commerce determined that data on the number of employees in the
downtown business district would assist the Chamber and the Town in identification of the best
course of action.
SURVEY BOUNDARIES:
Physical Surveys were performed by volunteers from the Chamber of Commerce. A total of 116
businesses participated in the survey.
The street boundaries for the surveys were as follows; Woburn Street to the North, Washington
Street to the South, Main and Hamden Streets to the East and High Street/Train Station to the
West.
SURVEY COMPOSITION:
The committee surveyed 116 businesses located within the above boundaries. The survey
requested both the total number of employees in the area and the number of employees parking at
peak hours. Other information obtained included the number of employer provided spaces and
any rented spaces whether private or town. The final questions sought employee growth
expectations for the next 12 months.

The above numbers do not acknowledge as communicated by owners (5), the times when
mandatory monthly employee meetings are required, in the case of one employer, these meetings
could increase the employees downtown at any one time by 50.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CONSIDERATION:
As the committee reviewed the data provided, the following observations and recommendations
were made:
1. The downtown parking during most times, with the employees taking up public spots still
turns fairly well. Short of Thursday afternoon and Saturday morning, a spot can generally be
found. An increase in the times in certain areas to allow for multiple errands seems reasonable'
and may better serve consumers at 2-3 hours, especially if the new parking regulations do not
allow them to return later in the day.
This turn of the parking spaces is further supported by the hair salon employees comments that
they are relocating customers during their appointment, which suggests there are open public
spots for the vehicle to be moved to and from. The change to 2-3 hours could improve business
in the downtown area.
2. If with employees presently using public parking spaces, the traffic turns fairly well, then
should a portion of each of the public lots, i.e. against the fences, be converted to employee
parking?
3. We discussed unregulated areas where employees are currently parking. Can we define
which streets will allow for daytime parking by employees
Page 2 of 3 v
DRAFT
4. If employee parking vouchers are sold for both the approved streets and designated areas
within public parking, the number of vouchers should not exceed the number of spaces available
even though the spaces are first come first serve and the price should be reasonable.
5. The biggest fear is that finding employees and keeping employees will become
increasingly more difficult, if a solution is not provided simultaneous with the change in parking
hours.

Local Video Franchise Authority Threatened on Two Fronts:
State DTE Opens Rulemaldng Process on Verizon's Expedited Franchise Petition;
Congress Moves To Preempt Local Authority With National Franchise Legislation
Contact Mass DTE: Ask them to reject Verizon's petition to create
unrealistic franchise negotiation timeline
The Department of Telecommunications and Energy has begun a.nale-making process to
consider a petition filed by Verizon seeking to expedite the cable franchising process.
Under the Verizon plan, a community would be required to hold a public hearing within 60
days of when a new video service provider notifies a community of its intent to compete with the
existing provider. The community would be required to accept or reject the franchise application
within 30 days after the hearing.
Municipalities would have to base their assessment of an applicant's qualifications solely on
the application, amendments to the application, public hearing records, and public hearing oral
testimony. Under the Verizon plan, it appears that a municipality could not base its decision on
what transpires during negotiations, a key to the assessment of an applicant.
Attached you will find a_sample letter that we ask you to customize and send to the DTE.
They will accept public comments through July 14th, with reply comments accepted through
Sept. 13th. A public hearing will be held on Aug. 16th at 10 a.m. at the DTE Cable Division's
offices at One South Station in Boston, in Hearing Room A. The DTE notice is available at
www.mma.org.
Contact Senators Kerrv and Kennedv:
Ask them to onnose Congressional efforts to create a national franchise
Efforts to preempt local video franchising authority continue in the US House and Senate.
Your action is urgently needed to maintain local control over public rights of way and ensure
access to services for all parts of our communities, rich or poor.
The House had been expected to vote during the first week of May on a national franchise
bill endorsed by the House Energy and Commerce Committee in spite of widespread opposition
from leading municipal advocacy organizations, including the National League of Cities and the
U.S. Conference of Mayors, and state-based municipal advocates, including the MMA. Due to a
disagreement between the chairs of two key committees, however, the full House has yet to act
on the bill. In a dispute over "net neutrality" language, Judiciary Committee Chair James
Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin sought to have the bill referred to his cominittee, delaying a House
vote. The House Parliamentarian has rejected that request and the bill is due to be voted on in
early June.

Massachusetts Municipal Association, One Finthrop Square, Boston, Massachusetts 02110; (617) 426-7272
MMA Action Alert #9: May 30, 2006
The House version, sponsored by Representatives Barton and Rush would permit a 10-year
national franchise for former Bell companies, such as AT&T and Verizon. The franchise would
have no service-area requirement orbuild-out provision. This proposal would allow companies
to enter only the communities and neighborhoods they choose, which could create an enormous
divide, with certain neighborhoods deprived of competition and lower prices.
Under the Barton-Rush proposal, an incumbent cable provider with a franchise agreement
already in place would be allowed to get out of it and seek a national franchise immediately
when a phone company enters their service area, allowing the incumbent to stop serving
unprofitable areas. The incumbent would also be able to raise rates in areas of a community that
the phone company does not serve.
The U.S. Senate has also begun looking at a national franchise bill. Sen. Ted Stevens of
Alaska, chair of the Senate Energy and Commerce Committee, has introduced a far-reaching bill
that would create a national franchise.
The Stevens bill_would still require cable providers to negotiate with individual communities,
but seeks to expedite the process by setting a 30-day time limit for communities to act on an
application by a new entrant to the market. The bill would require franchise fees of up to 5
percent and some public, education and government access (PEG), but it has no build-out
requirements. The application would be drafted by the Federal Communications Commission,
with the commission playing a dispute-resolution role.
Under the Stevens bill; incumbent cable providers would be allowed to take advantage of the
national franchise once their existing agreement expires, though some stipulations in.the bill
could allow incumbents access sooner.
It is imperative that you contact Senators Kerry and Kennedy and urge them to oppose any
attempts to take away control of video franchising from local government. Attached you will
find. a sample letter opposing Senator. Steven's bill.

SAMPLE LETTER TO DTE
(on your letterhead)
May 2006
Andrea Nixon
Clerk, Cable Television Division
Department of Telecommunications and Energy
One South Station
Boston, MA 02111
Dear Clerk,
The (city/town) of , would like to register its strong opposition. to Verizon's March 16,
2006, rulemaking petition filed with the Cable Division of the Department of Telecommunications and
Energy. Verizon's petition proposes extremely unreasonable new rules for initial cable licensing.
The proposed rules would require a municipality to hold a public hearing on an initial cable television.
license application within 60 days of the application filing, and would require only 30 days from the time
of the public hearing for the municipality to approve or disapprove the application, and issue the actual
license in case of approval.
As most local officials will tell you, it is impossible to conclude a proper initial license application
review, negotiation, license drafting and issuance within 30d ays of the public hearing. Such an initial
licensing time frame would be untenable in the best of circumstances, and is. particularly untenable now in
light .of the many questions of first impression and complex issues raised by the non-standard terms and
conditions commonly reported to be included in Verizon-proposed cable licenses.
As you know from.RCNs initial licensing experience, cable operators willing to negotiate customary and
standard cable licenses enjoy reasonable and fast municipal licensing. The existing license timetables
have worked well for decades. They should not be changed at the behest of a single proponent. Note that
Congress contemplated and provided for a three-year renewal process when it more comprehensively and
carefully set forth cable licensing rules in the 1984 Cable Act. This framework worked well for decades
and there is no rational basis for casting aside the time tested licensing rules and replacing them with
radically abbreviated rules.
INSERT LOCALIZED STORYABOUT ENCOUNTERS WITH VERIZONIF THAT IS
APPLICABLE.
Municipal officials who are responsible for implementing licensing and who are accountable to the public
are in opposition to these proposed rules. Municipal officials are concerned that under the proposed rules,
our community and cities and towns across the state will be boxed into an untenable 30 day post-hearing
licensing process, and will lose the ability to properly review and negotiate Verizon cable proposals. This
is not even close to what is reasonably needed for a fair and reasonable licensing process. The
Massachusetts Cable Division should reject the Verizon petition and allow local officials to continue
serving their constituents as they have been doing for decades.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any further questions or desire further comment,
please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Name, Title and Community

Talking Points Against Verizon's Petition to the Mass. DTE
• Municipalities strongly oppose Verizon's March 16, 2006, rulemaking petition filed with
the Cable Division of the Department of Telecommunications and Energy.
• We are very concerned that Verizon's petition proposes extremely unreasonable new
rules for initial cable licensing.
• The proposed rules would require a municipality to hold a public hearing on an initial
cable television license application within 60 days of the application filing,, and would
require only 30 "days from the time of the public hearing for the municipality to approve
or disapprove the application, and issue the actual license in case of approval.
• It is impossible to conclude a proper initial license application review,
negotiation, license drafting and issuance within 30 days of the public hearing. Such an
initial licensing time frame would be.untenable in the best of circumstances, and is
particularly untenable now in light of the many questions of first impression and complex
issues raised by the non-standard terms- and conditions commonly reported to be included
in Verizon-proposed cable licenses.

SAMPLE LETTER TO SENATORS KERRY
AND KENNEDY
(On your letterhead)
May 2006
The Honorable
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Senator
Cities and towns across Massachusetts and'the nation are facing a mounting attack on their
existing local video franchising authority. Several bills moving through Congress would
significantly alter or eviscerate the ability of local governments to enter into and enforce local
cable franchise agreements, and to manage and collect fees for the use of local rights of way.
In -the Senate, Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska has introduced S. 2686, the Communications,
Consumers' Choice and Broadband Deployment Act of 206. While this bill purports to bring
about competition and lower prices to the cable market, in reality, it preempts the very local
authority that ensures that the neighborhood you live in would actually get competition and
lower prices.
As currently written, the Stevens bill undermines local franchising enforcement and compliance
authority, threatens local budgets, limits the benefit of broadband-video competition to a few
well-to-do neighborhoods, weakens provisions that ensure video providers meet each
community's needs and interests, and undermines the ability of local governments to protect
their residents and respond to cable customer service complaints.
INSERT PARAGRAPH ON YOUR LOCAL EXPERIENCES WITHFRANCHISE
NEGOTIATIONS.
While industry lobbyists claim this is about competition, -their business model and past practices
show that it is really about profits at local government's and taxpayer's expense.
Therefore, we strongly urge you to oppose the Stevens bill and any other attempt to preempt
local-control over video franchising decisions.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Name, Title, Community

Talking Points Against A National Video Franchise
• States where statewide or simplified franchising is currently in place do not
see greater or faster video competition deployment.
• Franchises do not just provide permission to offer video services; they are
the core tool local government uses to manage streets and sidewalks, provide
for public safety; enhance competition, and to collect compensation for
private use of public land.
• Eliminating franchises will cause chaos and deprive local government of the
power to perform its basic functions.
• Competition is for everyone. Current national policy implemented through
franchises encourages competition throughout the country, not just in urban
or suburban areas and not just for the wealthy.
® The telephone companies' business plans and legislative policies call for
allowing limited and selected network buildouts that would leave many
neighborhoods and communities behind, which is why they seek to avoid
local accountability and negotiations.
• In less than 10 years, under the current system of local franchising,
broadband service has been made available to 91% of all homes passed by
cable.
• Congress should not try.to manage local streets and sidewalks from
Washington; national franchising would abrogate a basic tenet of federalism
by granting companies' access to locally owned property.
• Content deals, not local government, stands in the way of new video service
offerings. Companies have not yet seriously dedicated resources to negotiate
franchises in most markets.
• Potential video competitors require relatively few franchises to implement
their announced business plans (for ATT 1,500-2;000 franchises, for
Verizon 100-200 franchises).
• National franchise legislation would have all consumer and municipal
complaints handled by the FCC, creating a massive and unresponsive
backlog that would burden municipalities for years.

To have and maintain an informed electorate in our current society, local government
needs to come into our citizens living rooms via a media that they are used to - their TV.
We are able to accomplish this through PEG access which is supported through fees
passed through to customers by the cable companies who operate in our communities.
These requirements have been carefully structured and negotiated by thousands of
communities throughout the country, and reflect local needs from Reading,
Massachusetts to Redding, California. PEG access is vital to a democratic society, but is
not a high priority for cable providers - they have often gotten out of the PEG access
business other than writing a check, and we all know that they would not do that unless it
was required by locally negotiated franchise agreements.

Our recent experience in negotiating one of the first cable TV franchises in
Massachusetts with Verizon has been illuminating on this issue. The proposed franchise
agreement that they presented to the Town had little in the way of PEG support, and was
missing a lot in the language that protects the citizens of our community in Right of Way
issues, and even in getting the service at all. We negotiated fairly and diligently, and
were able to get a fair agreement with Verizon - but the agreement needs to reflect local
needs.

BOARD OF SELECTMEN
(781) 942-6643
FAX: (781) 942-9071
The Town of Reading would like to register its strong opposition to Verizon's March 16,
2006 rulemaking petition filed with the Cable Division of the Department of
Telecommunications & Energy. Verizon's petition proposes extremely unreasonable
new rules for initial cable licensing.
The proposed rules would require a municipality to hold a public hearing on an initial
cable television license application within 60 days of the application filing, and would
allow only 30 days from the time of the public hearing for the municipality to approve or
disapprove the application, and issue the actual license in case of approval.
As most local officials will tell you, it is impossible to conclude a proper initial license
application review, negotiation, license drafting and issuance within 30 days of the public
hearing. Such an initial licensing time frame would be untenable in the best of
circumstances, and is particularly untenable now in light of the many questions of first
impression and complex issues raised by the non-standard terms and conditions
commonly reported to be included in Verizon-proposed cable licenses..
As you know from RCN's initial licensing experience, cable operators willing to
negotiate customary and standard cable licenses enjoy reasonable and fast municipal
licensing. The existing license timetables have worked well for decades. They should
not be changed at the behest of a single proponent. Note that Congress contemplated and
provided for a three-year renewal process when it more comprehensively and carefully
set forth cable licensing rules in the 1984 Cable Act. This framework worked well for
decades and there is no rational basis for casting aside the time tested licensing rules and
replacing them with radically abbreviated rules.

Reading in fact has concluded its negotiation of a franchise with Verizon and with both
parties working diligently, it took over nine months. Much of the time it took was
because Verizon did not have a comprehensive draft of a proposed license. While
negotiation of the "business points" of the license was concluded fairly quickly, it took
almost five months to conclude the negotiations on the language issues, many of which
are complex because of the nature of the Verizon business model vs. conventional cable
TV providers.
Municipal officials who are responsible for implementing licensing and who are
accountable to the public are in opposition to these proposed rules. Municipal officials
are concerned that under the proposed rules, our community and cities and towns across
the State will be boxed into an untenable 30 day post-hearing licensing process, and will
lose the ability to properly review and negotiate Verizon cable proposals. This is not
even close to what is reasonably needed for a fair and reasonable licensing process. The
Massachusetts Cable Division should reject the Verizon petition and allow local officials
to continue serving their constituents as they have been doing for decades.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any further questions or desire
further comment, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Dear Mr. Laskey: -
Enclosed is a copy of the Advisory Board's Comments and Recommendations- on the
MWRA's proposed Current Expense Budget for fiscal year 2007, starting this Julys`. The
Recommendations were approved at the May 18, 2006 meeting of the full Advisory Board.
The proposed rate increase for FY07, at $46.3 million, is the largest in more than a decade. As
significant as this increase is, current rate projections point to rate revenue requirements at high dollar
amounts for at least the next six years after FY 2007. Rate revenues cross the $500. million mark with
this proposed budget and are expected to be more than $600 million just two years later and more
than $700 million two years after that, in FY 2011. By FY 2013, rates will be $287 million higher
than they are today.
These rapidly rising rate requirements reinforce the need to revisit the rates management
strategy. The Advisory Board is recommending that the Authority convene a working committee,
which could consist of MWRA staff, representation from the Board of Directors, the Advisory Board
and the Financial Advisor. A key element of this revised strategy is the development of a debt
restructuring plan to provide sustainable and predictable rate revenue requirements through FY 2013.
The Recommendations also call for decreases in expenses and increases in non-rate revenues
totaling nearly $12.1 million. The Advisory Board recommends that the spending reductions and non-
rate revenue increases be used to reduce the drawdown of rate stabilization funds and be reserved to
ease the impact of future rate increases. If debt service assistance funding is passed, the receipts
should be used during FY07 to reduce FY07 community assessments.
Thank you for the opportunity to review the proposed budget. We look forward to discussing
these Comments and Recommendations with you, the MWRA Board of Directors and your staff.
Sincerely,
Katherine H. Dunphy

Chairman, State Treasurer June 1, 2006 Executive Director
I am pleased to provide you with the Final Report of the School Facilities Needs Survey. Chapter 208 of the Acts of 2004, the
statute that created the Authority, mandated that we undertake a survey of the general conditions of the 1,817 school buildings in
the Commonwealth. Moreover, the Authority is statutorily charged with being the official keeper of the long term capital plan
for the use of the billions of dollars which the Commonwealth has entrusted the Authority with investing in local school projects.
The Authority's goal is to ensure that these funds are invested wisely based upon need and as the result of a thoughtful planning
process.
Also, please find in this packet a detailed copy of the facilities ratings report for each school building in your district. The
Authority hired DeJong, Inc., an educational assessment and planning firm from Ohio, after an RFQ process to perform the
Needs Survey.
Every school building in the Commonwealth was personally visited by teams of former educators and engineers and rated to
give the Authority's Board a baseline understanding of the general conditions of school buildings in the Commonwealth. Every
district superintendent was afforded the opportunity to review or correct the data collected. It is important to note that the Board
of the Authority will be making funding decisions for the new program which begins after July 1, 2007 on the basis of the 8
statutory criteria prescribed by section 8 of Chapter 70B of the Massachusetts General Laws, which emphasizes need based upon
building condition and overcrowding. However, the Needs Survey results provide a powerful benchmarking tool for the
Authority's Board in giving a preliminary assessment to a community's stated needs, as expressed through the community's
submission of a "Statement of Interest" form available on the Authority's website. Here are some of the findings:
The condition of the 1,817 Massachusetts Schools is generally good:
- Over 76% of Massachusetts school buildings rated in generally good condition
- Only 3%, or 62 schools, were rated in need of substantial work
- There was little correlation between the relative wealth of a school district and the general condition of the
school buildings within that district.
Massachusetts state taxpayers have expended a substantial amount on schoolhouse capital facilities over the past 60
years-- of the 1,817 schools in the Commonwealth, 1,156, or 63%, are currently being reimbursed for construction or
renovation projects undertaken between 1986 and 2005 with an approximate MSBA cost of $11 billion.
• The Commonwealth has been paying an average of 72% of local capital school construction or renovation costs
prior to reform.
Almost one-half of the current school facility square footage in the state is new or recently renovated.
Massachusetts schools have been built 32% to 39% larger, on average, than the maximum gross square footage space
requirements per student in the Department of Education regulations.
These, and other findings, are in the Executive Summary of the Needs Survey Final Report. This information is also available
on our website at www.mass.aov/msba.
As usual, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me.
Yours truly,

Reading Conservation Commission
Town Hall
16 Lowell Street
Reading, MA 01867
Re: 420 Franklin Street
Dear Commissioners:
As you are aware, the Historical Commission has a strong interest in your
decision regarding the conservation issues associated with the historic property at 420
Franklin Street. Over the past months, we have become educated on the complexities of
wetland regulations and now have a greater understanding as to the Conservation
Commission's role in this particular case. The Historical Commission is well aware of
the task that is before you and appreciates the efforts you put forth to protect natural
resources. As a commission, we are also charged with protecting valuable resources -
the Town's dwindling stock of historic structures. Due to the unique nature of this
property, a demand has been created for both wetland conservation and historic
preservation, and that while we understand your interest in the former, it is our job to
shed light on the importance of the latter.
The property at 420 Franklin Street contains a First-Period house, built circa
1711, which makes it one of only a handful to remain in Reading - its company includes
the Parker Tavern and the Foster-Emerson House. A First-Period house is one built
during the first architectural period of colonial settlement in America from 1625 -1725.
The timbers used in the framing, were likely hewn from the virgin forest of the area, and
represent the earliest values of craftsmanship in the colony.
It is the Historical Commission's position that a variance from compliance with
the Wetland Regulations "is necessary to accommodate an overriding community,
regional, state, or national public interest." The retention of the historic house is not only
of local interest, but also important to the state and the country, as it is listed not only on
the Town's Historical and Architectural Inventory, but on both the State and National
Registers of Historic Places. The important role this property plays as part of our local
identity and community heritage is due, not only to its historic architectural significance
and the early settlers who lived in it, but also to the fact that it was preserved over a
number of successive generations of a single family. We as a community, have a duty to
act on its behalf, to preserve the homestead and continue to build that memory of place
that becomes our culture.
It is due to the aforementioned significance as well as the mitigation offered, that
the Historical Commission believes that the most reasonable alternative is the plan that is
proposed. Because the word `.`reasonable" is subjective, it is this Commission's opinion
that the overriding strength of the argument to maintain the historic structure in its
National Register setting outweighs other alternatives.
The granting of a variance for this plan is not likely to set a wetland variance
precedent, because this unique combination of wetland and a National Register First
Period house does not exist on another parcel in the Town of Reading.
The Historical Commission requests that in granting a variance, the Conservation
Commission include a condition that preservation restrictions, provided by the Historical
Commission, be placed on the deed of the historic house in perpetuity. If the
Commission's decision to grant a variance is based on "public interest," that interest must
be preserved by placing such deed restrictions.
While this property is privately owned, it is, arguably, also an important part of
our community's historic memory and the fabric of this once agrarian town. One might
contend, then, that a private owner has a certain social obligation to care for it and use it
in such a way as to not diminish or destroy it while it is under their stewardship. In return
for fulfilling this obligation, the private owner might be entitled to economic relief - in
this case, in the form of the fee waiver requested in the Notice of Intent.
We, as a community, have the opportunity to save a 300-year old house in its
entirety, by infringing on a portion of a wetland, but, conversely, do not have the option
of infringing on only a portion of the house, and saving the wetland in its entirety - under
the current scenario, if the wetland is preserved, the house is gone forever. We cannot
recover what is lost when the house is destroyed - ever. The loss of wetland, however,
can be mitigated by supporting replication, whereas replication is not possible to mitigate
the loss of the house. The Town desperately needs your help and understanding if we
are to protect this house.
Respectfully submitted,

Local Video Franchise Authority Threatened on Two Fronts:
State DTE Opens Rulemaking Process on Verizon's Expedited Franchise Petition;
Congress Moves To Preempt Local Authority With National Franchise Legislation
Contact Mass DTE: Ask them to reiect Verizon's petition to create
unrealistic franchise neeotiation timeline
The Department of Telecommunications and Energy has begun a male-making process to
consider a petition filed by Verizon seeking to expedite the cable franchising process.
Under the Verizon plan, a community would be required to hold a public hearing within 60
days of when a new video service provider notifies a community of its intent to compete with the
existing provider. The community would be required to accept or reject the franchise application
within 30 days after the hearing.
Municipalities would have to base their assessment of an applicant's qualifications solely on
the application, amendments to the application, public hearing records, and public hearing oral
testimony. Under the Verizon plan, it appears that a municipality could not base its decision on
what transpires during negotiations, a key to the assessment of an applicant.
Attached you will find a_sample letter that we ask you to customize and send to the DTE.
They will accept public comments through July 14th, with reply comments accepted through
Sept. 13th. A public hearing will be held on Aug. 16th at 10 a.m. at the DTE Cable Division's
offices at One South Station in Boston, in Hearing Room A. The DTE notice is available at
www.mrna.org.
Contact Senators Kerrv and Kennedv:
Ask them to oppose Congressional efforts to create a national franchise
Efforts to preempt local video franchising authority continue in the US House and Senate.
Your action is urgently needed to maintain local control over public rights of way and ensure
access to services for all parts of our communities, rich or poor.
The House had been expected to vote during the first week of May on a national franchise
bill endorsed by the House Energy and Commerce Committee in spite of widespread opposition
from leading municipal advocacy organizations, including the National League of Cities and the
U. S. Conference of Mayors, and state-based municipal advocates, including the MMA. Due to a
disagreement between the chairs of two key committees, however, the full House has yet to act
on the bill. In a dispute over "net neutrality" language, Judiciary Committee Chair James
Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin sought to have the bill referred to his committee, delaying a House
vote. The House Parliamentarian has rejected that request and the bill is due to be voted on in
early June. 1
