This study resulted from the Town of Reading's desire to investigate their existing water treatment facility and to develop a recommended improvements plan that will satisfy current and future treatment and operational challenges. The following major issues have driven the need for this study: 1. The requirement to meet Stage 1 Disinfectants/ Disinfection Byproducts Rule (D /DBR) for total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) by January 2004. 2. Consumer complaints about the hardness, taste, and color of the drinking water. 3. Excessive maintenance of aging and outdated equipment. 4. Heightened security awareness 5. The need to upgrade the existing WTP to current codes and safety regulations. 6. The need to increase plant efficiency by integrating the latest operational and monitoring technologies into the treatment facilities. Combined, these issues have presented the Town of Reading with an opportunity to conduct a full assessment of its water treatment facilities. An evaluation of the plant's future needs and an assessment of the efficiency of the current operations were used to develop a recommended improvements plan to provide Reading with high quality drinking water through the year 2025. Backgrou Readin ' re water treatment facili ally named the Hu cre Meadow Wat urification Plant, was firs structed nearly 70 ye . o with a capacity of million gallons per day ). The plant was des' to remove iron and manganese from Readin ' groundwater supply. atment consisted of coke tr , aeration, sedimenta ' , and slow sand filtr . Reading's tre ent plant has unde e two major upgrades and . tuber of improve is since it was first structed in 1935. The first . r upgrade was in 1962 n the plant was ex " ed and modified to meet ased water demands MO o comply with the - ign standards at that time. Following the 19 echanical upgrade, an add' ' al clearwell was co cted in 1968 and resi s removal equipment was ed to the sediment basins in 1972.

I have found iao legal impediment to proceeding if the Town wishes to pursue this, while there is no state statute or regulation explici--ly allowing the use of these devices by towns, similar devices aria currently in use in Massachusetts. The state police use cameras for traffic enforcement on the Massachusetts Turnpike, and several towns have cameras installed in police cruiserjs which the' * � use to videotape drunk drivers. Furthermore, there is a Supreme Judicial Court case from 1910 upholding the use of a ",photo speed recorder", which used a'camera, synchronized with a stopwatch, to photograph speeding vehicles. Commonwealth v. Buxton, 205 Mass. -19 .(1910). 1 found nothing to indicate that the holding in that case has been overturned. �C� 08/04/2005 08:16 FAX 5087999799 BRACKETr&LLTCAS Q003 Cameras have been in use on traffic lights in other states for several years, and to date there has been no successful challenge based on United $t;�Lte constitutional grounds.

Thank you for your cooperation Very truly yours, Heather C. White cc: Joan Langsam, Esquire Tom Murphy, Reading Police Department James W. Cormier, Chief of Police Electronic Speed Measuring Red Light Camera Program Based on our research with other law enforcement agencies, we are unaware of any Massachusetts communities that use these types of devices. The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority utilizes cameras to videotape drivers that evade tolls. A special CMR was designed solely for the Turnpike Authority. This CMR was designed in such a way so that an out of state offender can be mailed a citation by a Massachusetts State Trooper. The citation has a designated flat fee. There is a separate CMR for Massachusetts residents. This information was provided by Sgt. Doc Welby of the Massachusetts State Police. The Boston Police case did not involve the use of cameras. That case involved cadets mailing citations after observing violations. This information was provided by Margaret Buckley of the Boston Police Legal Department. Safety Officer Murphy has contacted Heather White from Town Counsel staff and she has stated that she cannot find any legal impediments with utilizing these types of devices. Sgt. Welby of the Massachusetts State Police did suggest meeting with officials from the Woburn District court prior to implementing any type of photographic enforcement. q C'3 4, Speed-related crashes kill more than 13,000 people in the USA each year, and cause nearly one third (31 %) of all traffic fatalities. • NHTSA estimates speed-related crashes Cost America more than $40 billion annually - for health care, law enforcement, and lost productivity, • That translates into $144 annually for every person living in the United States. When speed increases from 40 mph to 60 mph, the energy released in a crash more than doubles. • There is nearly an 80% risk of pedestrian fatality when vehicles impact at 35 mph. U • NHTSA research shows that two in three drivers see other's speeding as a major threat to their own safety and believe that aggressive speeding is increasing. Perceptions of this threat increase significantly with age. Further, more than two thirds of drivers support photo enforcement against speed. Support is particularly strong against drivers who are: Passing a school bus (82%) >- Speeding in a school zone (78%) V >- Trying to beat a train at a rail crossing (78%), and >- Running red lights (75%) M PY A 911, • In a 2001 Lou Harris poll, 77 percent of those polled said they want to see more done about speeding on local streets and highways. • in Washington DC, with seven speed cameras (one fixed-site and six mounted in cruisers) the program generated $51 million in revenues '01 -'04 and reduced aggressive speeding - from nearly 1 in 3 drivers in July 2001 to fewer than I in 20. • DC's program achieves consistent enforcement without taking Officers from other community policing responsibilities • In National City, CA, collisions declined 41% since the commencement of photo radar. • In Garland, LIT, a speed camera system together with extensive media coverage and strong support by city officials reduced average speeds in a 20 mph school zone from 36mph to 22 mph. Eight months after installation there were fewer crashes and not a single injury collision. • The UK's safety camera program recorded a positive cost-benefit of around 4:1 in its first 2 years. In its 3rd year, the program released around E54million to 24 local operating agencies. Benefits to society (for'avoided injuries') are estimated at around E221m annually as compared to costs of £54m. • In Victoria, Australia, the statewide program slashed road deaths by 51% in its first five years, In that period an estimated 1,226 people lived instead of being killed on the roads and another 9,800 were protected from major injury, giving insurers estimated savings of $AU1.5m. each week. Over 100,000 hospital bed days were freed up for other, non-emergency admissions. • - ----- ----- ------------ ...., ....... ... - . ...... ........ Prepared by Transol USA Inc.

Many of the deaths and injuries would not have occurred if drivers had obeyed the existing traffic laws. For over forty years jurisdictions around the world have successfully used photo- enforcement to reduce the violent death and injuries caused by these violations. Enforcement of red - light, rail, speed, and toll laws through the uses of photo - technology is a practical and cost effective method to reduce traffic accidents. Current technology, includes both wet film and digital systems which may be deployed with knowledge that public support for stronger enforcement is strong in most jurisdictions. These systems serve as a highly visible reminder to the public of a lesson each individual learns in childhood: Red means stopl PhotoCop TM is a private, non - commercial web site providing research, management, and technical information about the photographic enforcement of traffic laws. PhotoCop is designed for traffic, law enforcement, and other governmental agencies involved in enforcing traffic laws. PhotoCop provides information on red light, speed, rail crossing, and toll enforcement. In addition, locations and news of photo- enforcement sites in the United States, information about photography, and the legal issues surrounding this technology is provided. Who Supports Photo Enforcement? Red -light running, speeding, rail crossing violations, and toll violations each contribute to the needless carnage on our roads. In response to these problems, many jurisdictions have begun using automated law enforcement technology to identify and prosecute violators. In use worldwide - as this photo of a warning sign in London indicates - for over forty years, red - light, speed, rail crossing, and toll cameras are finding a place in many US cities. As mentioned, many jurisdictions around the world are using photo- enforcement to enforce traffic laws. The technology has only recently seen any growth in the U.S., however. For the past ten years many jurisdictions has tested various types of photo - enforcement. Even though the technology is stable, accurate, and cost effective, many jurisdictions unsure of local reactions have chosen to run pilot programs. This is primarily due to political insecurity and has resulted in slower growth of technology since demand is still relatively low. With over forty years of use worldwide, much research on photo- enforcement technology NN09__X*r'� q V http: / /www.photocop.com/ 8/4/2005 PhotoCop Page 2 of 8 exists. In the United States, of the Insurance Institute for Hi h"a 5qfe�t has led the field in his naaoerch into the effectiveness of red-light cennorae. Using limited reeouxxeo, he has managed to build a library of information on red-light running. Based in Virginia and using a donated camera, he has conducted many studies and published several reports ofinterest. Photo-enforcement has been used globally in over 45 countries. Two areas that have used it for some time are: Victoria, Australia and Ontario, Canada. One of the newest sites for red-light cameras isO8»ard-,CA. which began issuing citations on July 1, 1997 after completing a testing period where only warning notices were issued. Rail crossing accidents are of increasing concern. Recently a 'Cop-in-a-box' automated photo-enforcement at grade crossings began in DuPa g County L). The DRSC asked Senator Beverly Fawell to introduce a bill authorizing a pilot program using 'cop-in-a-box.' S.B. 1154 passed the General Assembly and was signed into law by Governor Edgar in 1996. Tickets will be mailed to motorists whose violations are captured on film at at three high-incident crossings during 1997." Who Delivers This Technology? Most photo-enforcement equipment | use around the world ks manufactured by American Traffic. Systems .(ATS), Driver Safety Systems, Ltd. (DSS). Econolite, G tsometer. Multinova, Peek, T affiPax, or Truy lo. Usually, however, jurisdictions buy from distributors such as Elec - tronic - D - ata * S - y - stems (ED ' S) who resell the equipment and provide processing services as well, and SAIC-Syntonic also distribute photo-enforcement systems. Only Redflex ' provides complete manufacture, distribution, and processing services in the United States. (Until recently ATS also provide complete solutions. However, they sold their U.S. processing contracts to RedFlex and cannot offer the service again until 2002. ATS still manufactures equipment and teams with other vendors such as Mulvihill Electric of New York in offering complete service packages. Only a few manufacturers like American Traffic Systems (ATS), Redflex, and Poltech seem committed to rapidly improving the technology. Many European manufactures are slower to change since the time and expense to get a new system certified in the EC is great. Of Course, Some Folks Don't Like It ,Not everyone likes this application nf photographic technology. Individuals and groups provide many - arguments for not using photo-enforcement. One such individual, for example, is Chris Longhurst. He has created the definitive work on photo-radar from a citizens point of view. His Spged-trap ible is a great source for those interested in speed enforcement. For those of us who think we see a camera behind every tree, Mr. Longhurst also keeps us abreast of devices out there that are NOT photo-enforcement equipment.. Even some professional ' alists have taken sides against hoto'nadnr. ChhoRiddmr in his column Unfit to Priht in the The establishment bringing us to our knees." While the article focuses on the congestion problems caused bythe use of photo-radar in Alaska, ha concludes his article with a general objection to, "the inappropriate, seemingly inexorable, intrusion of surveillance cameras into ... every day life." The National Motorists Association /NMAJ@ large lobbying group whose goals are outlined below also has negative feelings about red-light cameras and invite others to 'O'D. -�h�Vbp|'�V8th�f.

To support traffic laws based on sound engineering criteria and public consensus. To protect your right to own and use the kinds of vehicles you prefer. To support improved driver training and education. To oppose speed traps and other traffic enforcement measures carried out for revenue - generation purposes. Page 3 of 8 The official position of the NMA is given by Todd Franklin, the Communications Director of NMA: National Motorists Association Position on Photo - enforcement of Traffic Laws "NMA opposes the use of photo enforcement, including the citing of vehicle owners with moving violations that may or may not have been committed by the vehicle owner. With properly posted speed limits and properly installed traffic control devices, there is no need for photo -based enforcement devices. Taking a reckless driver's picture does not stop that incidence of reckless driving." Comments by Todd Franklin, Communications Director, NMA I'll add to that by saying that we have not seen any verifiable data showing that these devices reduce accidents. There are a few studies and reports from such objective groups as ... Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. While these studies make broad claims about accident reduction, they universally fail to take into consideration other factors that may have reduced accidents, as well as random year -to- year or month -to -month fluctuations. Photo enforcement, in our opinion, is about revenue. It also gives elected officials and other leaders a way to show the public that they are doing something. (The public doesn't have to know that accidents will not be reduced, but ticket revenues will increase dramatically.) Another group not supporting photo- enforcement is the Radio Association Defending Airwave Rights (RADAR). Their page includes discussions of photo -radar and their opinions of it. Other individuals have focused on disclosing the location of cameras or using the red -light cameras for snap shots. Andrew Warner's WWW Speed Trap Regis shows the location of speed -traps around the world. For some time, drivers -- especially cab drivers -- in New York City have carried lists of the supposed locations of the City's red -light cameras. The lists were rarely accurate. Still, many locations in the Big Apple are well known to citizens as can be attested by the collection of photographs kept by some City staffers. It is not only the back side of vehicles that get photographed. Besides mugging for the camera, some folks in Queens think dropping a dummy in the road and running over it for the photo is great fun. New York still has the most red - light cameras (18) of any city in the U.S. One very entertaining site is Ask Mr. Traffic. Many issues related to traffic are presented. Most detail is about California, but many other points of interest are presented. The text is interesting and the graphics are great. Detecting and Hiding - Trying to Beat the System An Australian company, RDS, has some good information or photo -radar use in Australia. RDS stands for http: / /www.photocop.com/ 8/4/2005 PhotoCop Page 4 of 8 This should give clue as to their point of view. There are many who see business opportunity and want defeat this technology. Another company - Crutchfield - offers drivers, "The freedom to relax and drive with confidence.." license plate. One is called Flash Buster. The maker claims that this product will cause the plate to be unreadable. Another d sells "Complete Line of Anti-Laser and Anti-Photo Radar License Plate Covers Domestic & International Car and Motorcycle aizeo|" Still another, Defense Depot, ofTenopo.Ahzona advertises that their, "ELIMINATOR is ... effective against photo-radar, both day and night, and is completely |ego|." The images above demonstrate the effectiveness of their claim. Another offers a warranty, "If Big Brother can successfully take a readable picture ofyour license plate within 60 days of purchase, we will refund your purchase price!" But the most interesting product by far is Stealthguard. Stealth-guard Absorbing _Q8[\ftd Steal.thGWard offers an innovative and unique oonthbuUontoPohoeRedar Countermeasures in the form ofo radar detector companion product--ehighperhormunoenerwaxUhatnuarQmdk/reducaoavehkde'sredar cross section and the associated effective range of police radar on that vehicle. Besides this feature, it is also a top performing car wax. GEODESY Anouther creative use of technology, however, may goto the Brits. The following is from The S eedtrap Bible GpS-based camera detector to be reviewed first by theGpeedtrap Bible. I've had elot of emails from people in the past, musing about the possibility of using a GPS-based device to locate the positions of known speedtraps. I've had to be a bit cagey in my replies because of certain "goings-on" in this area. Suffice to say, that those cloak-and-dagger proceedings are drawing to a close, and in June, the first commercially available GPS-based anti-speedtrap device is going to be brought to the market. And the Speedtrap Bib|eiogoingtobethehrsttobaotiL|conon|ygivoyouroughdobai|aotthernomontandpmone information will naturally follow shortly in the form ofafull test in the Testing Ground. The device iocalled the GEODESY and ismanufactured by Mmrpheous in the UK. k will cost E80 and will sit on your dashboard. It needs a clear view of the sky in order to track GPS satellites, and hence know your location. (Now you know the other reason | sent out the flyer about the increase inGPG accuracy last week.) GEODESY can be set to warn you when you are approaching the location of a knownapeodtnsp You can set the Warning distance but it will come preset to1 mile. |t will warn you via a set of lights and/or sounds. What about new trap locations? Well, the unit ships with a plug-in cradle. You connect this to your phone socket, and when you drop your unit into the cradle, it dials up Morpheous and downloads into it's database all the new locations since your last update. http://www.photocop.com/ 8/4/2005 PhotoCop Page 5 of 8 But how do you report new locations? Simple - GEODESY has a "report" button on it. If you pass a camera that is fixed (ie. not mobile sites) that the unit does not warn you about, you press the button. Next time you connect to the cradle, it uploads the coordinates of the camera to the central Morpheous database. The company then confirms the location, and if it's correct, it goes into the database to be downloaded into everyone else's units. In this way, the system can be kept up to date. What about the legality of the device? Well it's totally legal. It's not a radar detector - simply a GPS navigation aid. To make it illegal would mean making all in -car navigation aids illegal. What about cost? The unit costs £380 and comes with a year's free database access. After that it will cost £30 a year to register for continued database access. You can read all about it in the following document - it's an MSWord document that explains all the technical jiggery pokery far better than I ever could. http: / /www .speed - trap.co.uk/geodesy.doc Keep your eyes and ears peeled for the first reviews, coming soon to an inbox near you! Do any these devices really work? Are they really legal? Please send your experiences to mail_ @www.photocop.com. Some Jurisdictions Call It Quits Even some jurisdictions are not pleased with the results. For various reasons - insufficient revenue and citizen complaints being the most frequently cited- some programs have been shut down. After having tried photo- enforcement, Utah recently (April 29, 1996) modified their existing photo- enforcement law. Use is now restricted to roads with a speed limit of 30 miles per hour or less. Read all the details in Dan Harrie's story in The Salt Lake Tribune at: http: / /utahonline.sltrib.com /96 /APR /29/tci/00281635.htm Anchorage, AK has also abandon photo -radar after a one year pilot. In a 1997 story in the Anchorage Daily News, "So long, photo- radar", reporter Don Hunder describes the recent storm of controversy. For the complete report, please see: " http:// www .adn.com /TOPSTORY/T97O4O92.HTM" Ready for photo- enforcement in your community? Think about this. For any public safety,program to succeed it must have the approval and support of the citizenry. The following are a few of the ways communities may get the citizenry positively involved prior to installing a photo- enforcement system. 1. Photo Enforcement Warning Signs Signage informing citizens about the use of photo- enforcement may be placed at the jurisdictions' discretion or may be mandated by law. Signs may be placed at every location or at major entrances to a jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions — e.g. New York City - -have chosen to maintain a stealth program where no signage is used. 2. Public Awareness Campaign The objective of a public awareness campaign is to ensure that no one receives a notice without being forewarned. This strategy can outline the community education program designed as an on -going dialogue with community organizations, neighborhood associations, and schools. This strategy might also include a detailed plan consisting of a time -line, schedule of events and appearances, list of organizations and groups, and proposed community education strategy. http: / /www.photocop.com/ 8/4/2005 PhotoCop Page 6 of 8 3. Press Conference and Equipment Demonstration If desired, a major kick-off event designed bo educate the community about the objective of the program as a means to improve traffic safety can be scheduled. The press conference could feature local and state officials, supportive residents and community leaders eo proponents of the program. 4[Po|kcm Department and State Personnel Familiarization Training Just as it is critical for the public to be informed about the implementation of a new photo- enforcement program in their community, local law enforcement and jurisdiction personnel must be provided with the information necessary for adequate support and administration of the program. Training sessions should be scheduled for all key personnel within the jurisdiction's operational structure. Get the Picture?

In ground sprinkler operation even once a week will likely cause the river to stop flowing if we don't get an inch or 2 of rain this week. Will ---------- Forwarded Message ---- - - - - -- Hi, I did my monitoring this morning and the river in the upper reaches of Reading is dropping fast. My guess is that within 1 --2 weeks the river will begin to "pond up" and the flow stop where I do my monitoring, if the weather stays hot and there is no rain. The DO was 2.0 and the surrounding wetlands were drying up. I mention this because we might want to get ready to do some publicity, photos, walks, etc. if the river does dry up.

Board of Selectmen Meeting =July 12, 2005 — Page 2 Public Works Director Ted McIntire and WSSWAC Members Steve Crook and Mike McIntyre were present. Ted McIntire noted that there is approximately $1.8 million in the water reserves, and approximately $1.1 million in the sewer reserves as of the audit that was done in August. The required billing for water in FY 2006 is $3,676,779 and $4 million needs to be generated for sewer. This is a total increase of 5.5 %. The MWRA assessment is 80% of the budget. He also noted that there is no cost for the Water Treatment Plant yet except for the design, and the reserve fund was used last year but not this year. Selectman Ben Tafoya asked if the water rate had the MWRA water included in the calculation. Ted McIntire indicated that it did not because it won't be used until June of next year. Vice Chairman Richard Schubert asked if we have received any revenue from Gulf Oil, and Ted McIntire indicated that we have. A motion by Schubert seconded by Bonazoli to close the hearing on the FY 2006 water and sewer rates was approved by a vote of 5 -0 -0.

Verizon Issuing _Authorit�Report — Bill Solomon, Special Counsel for the Town, was present. The Town Manager noted that on April 15, 2005, Verizon submitted a proposal. The Town has 90 days to respond. A working group was formed which consisted of the Town Manager, Special Counsel, Joseph Duffy, Gail Wood, RCTV, the School Department, RT -TAC and the Town technology staff. They developed a draft proposal and are asking the Selectmen to approve it tonight. Attorney Bill Solomon noted that the Town put an advertisement in the newspaper and received the proposal. Verizon will respond to the Town's report. The Selectmen will then schedule a hearing and will have 60 days to approve or deny. Chairman Camille Anthony asked if the hearing was on the contract. Attorney Solomon noted that it was public input on whether Verizon is qualified to provide Cable TV. He also noted that they already provide internet and phone service. Board of Selectmen Meeting — July 12, 2005 — Page 3 Attorney Solomon noted that some of the points in the report deal with coverage in the community without density requirements, protecting the right of way of property, a PEG access corporation (Verizon offers 5% of their revenues), the PEG access has to have a means for programming to get back to Verizon to send out to residents, money for capital needs, customer service office in Reading or within a reasonable distance to Reading and a senior discount. Chairman Camille Anthony asked if this report sets the ceiling for negotiations, and Attorney Solomon indicated that it does. A motion by Bonazoli seconded by Duffy that the Board of Selectmen adopt the report and attachments titled "Town of Reading Massachusetts Issuing Authority Report Cable Television License Process by. its Board of Selectmen, July 12, 2005" as the Town of Reading's issuing authority report in response to "Verizon Proposal for a Cable Television License in the Town of Reading, April 15, 2005.11 A motion by Schubert seconded by Bonazoli to amend the main motion to allow the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen to extend the deadline if necessary was approved by a vote of 5 -0 -0. The main motion was approved, as amended,by a vote of 5 -0 -0. Regulations and Improvements re: Wood End School — Superintendent of Schools Pat Schettini and School Committee Chairman Rob Spadafora were present. The Town Manager noted that the Selectmen set up the working group after discussion in January. The consensus of the group is that access should be from as many areas as possible, additional parking onsite is a priority, no cut through traffic onsite, and the School Department will manage the methodology for student pick -up and drop -off. The School Department is funding the additional parking onsite and the DPW is doing the work. Pat Schettini noted there will be an additional 20 -25 parking spaces and will be sufficient for staff plus additional visitors. The Town Manager noted that the flashing school signs are solar power with speed boards. They will be funded by the Inspections Revolving Fund. The Committee did a survey regarding sidewalks. Franklin Street is the first priority for sidewalks and Sunset Rock Lane is second. There is funding of $388,000 available for these two priorities The Town Manager noted that there will be paved access from Dividence Road and from Fox Run Lane to the site. The Town Manager noted that there are proposed traffic regulations including no parking, stopping, standing during certain times in many areas; do not enter during certain hours in a couple of areas; no parking on Sunset Rock Lane will change to school hours; and the Board may want to re -look at the no parking on Roma Lane. The Town Manager noted that he talked with Representative Brad Jones regarding the Safe Routes Program and there is no funding. 0` 5 Board of Selectmen Meeting - July 12, 2005 - Page 4 Selectman James Bonazoli asked if there will be extra cost for snow plowing. The Town Manager indicated that there will be. He also noted that there are three additional Crossing Guards in the budget this year and two of them are for this area. Rob Spadafora noted that the paved access should be a priority, and the sidewalks on Franklin Street are badly needed. Selectman James Bonazoli asked if the Town will be painting crosswalks at every street off of Franklin Street. The Town Manager responded probably not. Chairman Camille Anthony asked how many people who responded to the survey indicated that they would walk. The Town Manager noted that there was quite a few. Chairman Camille Anthony noted that Michele lantosca, sent an email and had concerns regarding the proposed traffic regulations, and how it would effect mail delivery and trash pick- UP. The Town Manager noted that there are still unresolved issues. Old Sanborn Lane is a private way and certain people have the right to use it and some do not. Bruce McKenzie suggests making it a one way. He recommends holding a hearing to do something about the situation. Selectman Ben Tafoya noted that there are also speed issues on Old Sanborn Lane, and asked if we could put up a sign. The Town Manager noted that if they buy it, we will install it. He also noted that the Town will not be plowing Old Sanborn Lane this Winter unless the trench is filled in. The Town couldn't sweep it this Summer without damaging our equipment. The Town Manager noted that Emerson Street is a private way and will get a lot more traffic and will need more maintenance. He also noted that it would be unfair for the private way. The Town can plow the snow but not maintain the road by law. If we want to do this, then we have to accept the street and bring it up to standards. Bill Brown noted that the path from Fox Run Lane and the other one must be ADA compliant. John Cataldo of 46 Sunset Rock Lane asked about the gate. Pat Schettini noted that there will be a gate and they are working out the location and whether it will be open or closed during school days. The consensus of the Board was to have the Emerson Street on the Agenda first, and then do the other traffic regulations on a separate night. Review of Animal Control Issues — Health Administrator Jane Fiore, Police Chief Jim Cormier and Animal Control Officer Ron Burns were present. The Town Manager noted that there is an issue with dog bites. a Board of Selectmen Meeting- July 12, 2005 — Page 5 Jane Fiore noted that the Town has a leash bylaw and licensing bylaw. The Animal Control Officer is within the Police Department but works with the Health Department, and responds to all dog bites. The Health Department supplies vaccine for anyone who was bitten. A dog is quarantined after biting someone — 10 days confinement if vaccinated, 45 days if late on the rabies and 180 days if no vaccine. Board of Health regulations include 30 days behavioral training and the dog is put down after the third bite. To date, 1849 dogs have been licensed this year, and there have been nine reported dog bites so far this year. Vice Chairman Richard Schubert asked who holds the dangerous dog hearings. Jane Fiore indicated herself and a representative of the Board of Health. Vice Chairman Schubert asked when a hearing is held. Jane Fiore noted after the first dog bite, if it is in a location where it can become infected. She also noted that she had two dog hearings this year where the owners were responsive. Vice Chairman Schubert asked if neighbors are notified, and Jane Fiore indicated they are not -- just the victims are notified. Chief Jim Cormier noted that the Town Clerk's Office sends out a notice to everyone who hasn't licensed their dog this year. Selectman Joseph Duffy asked if any of the dog bites were from pit bulls. Jane Fiore indicated that one was a mix. Selectman Duffy noted that he felt a pit bull should be put down after one bite. Chairman Camille Anthony indicated that she felt it wasn't moral to send the dog out of Town to another community, and asked what other Towns do. Selectman James Bonazoli asked if we ever had to put down a dog. Jane Fiore indicated that there were two in the past three years. She also noted that a dog owner can choose to put their dog down. Selectman James Bonazoli asked if we have restrictions based on breed, and Jane Fiore indicated that we do not. Vice Chairman Richard Schubert asked if the owner is responsible for any veterinarian costs, and Jane Fiore indicated that they are. Kirsten Tzianabos of 14 Duck Road noted that on Memorial Day weekend, her son was attacked by a dog who got away from its owner and bit her son on the leg. The owner was very upset and offered to reimburse her and indicated the dog was moving in two weeks but the dog is still there. She is concerned that this dog still exists and feels that we need to be more proactive. Chairman Camille Anthony asked why we wait until three bites before putting the dog down, and Jane Fiore noted that this is based on State code. She also noted that a local regulation can be stronger than the State regulation. Chairman Camille Anthony asked where the dog is now, and Chief Cormier indicated that the dog is home and the owner has been responsive. S Board of Selectmen Meeting — July 12, 2005 — Page 6 Selectman Ben Tafoya asked if the Police see a need for change. Chief Cormier indicated that he could see what other communities are doing but there is a need for some wiggle room. Selectman Joseph Duffy indicated that waiting for three dog bites is too much, and feels that it should be reduced to two bites. Chairman Camille Anthony noted that unprovoked attacks need to be dealt with and three bites are too many. Vice Chairman Richard Schubert suggested looking at what other communities do, look at specific breeds, whether owners are cooperative and prevent repeat offenders. The Town Manager indicated that the Board of Selectmen could ask the Board of Health to review their regulations and tighten up procedures. Breed specific might have to be a Town Bylaw. Chairman Camille Anthony indicated being breed specific is racist — it could wipe out a whole breed. We want to restrict behavior, not breeds. Severity is an issue and circumstances have to be taken into consideration. Vice Chairman Richard Schubert indicated that breed is not necessarily the problem but it would be helpful to have information on breeds to fall back on after the first bite. Selectman James Bonazoli noted that he has a problem with home quarantine. The Town Manager noted that he will draft a letter to the Board of Health and bring it back to the Board of Selectmen before sending it out. Approval of Veteran's District — The Town Manager noted that every city and town is required to have a full time Veterans' Officer or form a district. We have never had a district. We have approval from the State. The principal office will be in Reading and the satellite in Wilmington. The cost will be shared equally and the Town Manager will be on the Board. Vice Chairman Richard Schubert asked about the Veteran's Agent Board. The Town Manager noted that when a district is set up, one member from each Town serves on the Board who hires, sets rate of pay, etc. Vice Chairman Richard Schubert asked what happens if a Town decides they don't want to be part of a district. The Town Manager noted that district would be dissolved and we would find someone else. A motion by Bonazoli seconded by Duffy to approve the formation of a Veterans' Service District between the Town of Reading and the Town of Wilmington; that the costs of the District will be shared equally between the Town of Reading and the Town of Wilmington; and that the Town Manager shall be designated as Reading's member of the District Board was aunroved by a _vote of 5 -0 -0. l Board of Selectmen Meeting- July 12, 2005 — Page 7 Approval of Improvements — Brande Court — The Town Manager noted that there was a map in the handout on Page 7. This is a new development and the property owner is asking for three parallel spaces behind their building. They have 19 spaces in the back and under the building. There are some drainage issues and he talked with the property owner regarding landscaping. He wants employee /merchant parking. Vice Chairman Richard Schubert noted that the plan shows street trees, and asked if that was the area. The Town Manager indicated that it was, and the owner will come back with a plan. Vice Chairman Schubert asked how the purchase would be handled, and the Town Manager indicated that it would be done by lottery. Selectman James Bonazoli asked if there is a sidewalk, and the Town Manager indicated that it was on the opposite side of Brande Court. A motion by Duffy seconded by Schubert to approve in concept the plan for provision of 3 parallel parking spaces on Brande Court at the southeast corner _of Brande Court and Chute Street, subject to the Town Engineer's and Town Manager's approval of the landscaping treatment of the lands between the right of way and the abutting off - street parking lot The Board further approves the designation of those parking spaces as "Employee/Merchant Parking Spaces" pursuant to Section 514 of the Town of Reading Traffic Rules and Regulations was approved by a vote of 5 -0 -0. A motion by Schubert seconded by Bonazoli to adjourn the meeting of July 12, 2005 at 10.58 p.m. was approved by a vote of 5 -0 -0. Respectfully submitted, Secretary Board of Selectmen Meeting July 26, 2005 For ease of archiving, the order that items appear in these Minutes reflects the order in which the items appeared on the agenda for that meeting, and are not necessarily the order in which any item was taken up by the Board. The meeting convened at 7:30 p.m. in the Selectmen's Meeting Room, 16 Lowell Street, Reading, Massachusetts.

Reports and Comments Selectmen's Liaison Reports and Comments — Selectman Ben Tafoya noted that he attended the CPDC Meeting last night, and mixed use zoning in Downtown was being discussed. He also noted that CPDC wants to work closely with the Board of Selectmen. The Selectmen need to take action on parking in the area, both short term and long term. The Town Manager noted that the key is the mechanism for mixed use which could include eminent domain if needed, acquire land for additional parking and capital for a parking garage. This will be put on the Selectmen's August 9, 2005 Agenda. Selectman Tafoya also noted that interviews for the Town Accountant have been completed. Chairman Camille Anthony noted that she and George Hines, with the Town Manager, chose 10 candidates for the Assistant Town Manager/Finance Director position for the Town Manager and Richard Foley to interview.

He recommends reducing the number of members from nine to seven by eliminating one resident position and the representative of the Hospital Trust Fund. Hearing — Heavy Vehicle Exclusions — Linden Street and Bancroft Avenue — The Secretary read the hearing notice. The Town Manager noted that the residents had concerns that the Downtown improvements may cause more trucks onto their streets. The Town applied to Mass. Highway for a Heavy Vehicle Exclusion. Mass. Highway approves a Heavy Vehicle Exclusion on Linden Street but not Bancroft Avenue. Mass. Highway suggests a nighttime exclusion for Bancroft Avenue, The Town Manager's recommendation is for all of Linden Street and 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. exclusion for Bancroft Avenue. Dave Talbot of 75 Linden Street noted that he is grateful that the Town is doing this. He also noted that the problem began when High Street was closed to trucks and the West Street exclusion has made it worse. Selectman Joseph Duffy asked if the trucks are avoiding the lights on Main Street, and the Town Manager noted that these trucks are doing business in Reading, not just cutting through. A Bancroft Avenue resident noted that the trucks are ruining the street and the High School kids speed down Bancroft Avenue. Selectman Ben Tafoya suggested that the Town Manager should notify the Chief of Police regarding the High School traffic. Jean Thompson of 48 Linden Street noted that the traffic has increased dramatically on Linden Street. Kelly Malin of 77 Bancroft Avenue indicated that she knows when the High School kids are getting out of school. She asked if a four way stop sign could be installed.

Joint Discussion with Zoning Board of Appeals — The Town Manager noted that nobody from the ZBA was present because they did not receive notice of the meeting. Chairman Camille Anthony noted that this was on the Agenda because Debby McCulley requested reimbursement for her appeal to the ZBA. The Town Manager noted that the issue is how understandable the instructions were. Vice Chairman Richard Schubert asked if there should be a separate process for existing conditions and asked how often this happened. The Town Manager noted that a person gets to the ZBA by appealing the Building Inspector and it is the same process for violations. He also noted that the notice is required by law and cannot be changed. The Town Manager noted that when a complaint is made, we have to investigate and determine if there is a violation. Chairman Camille Anthony asked if there was any way to simplify the process. The Town Manager noted that the ZBA does not have any other process legally. Selectman Ben Tafoya asked who determines if something is "applicable" in this case. He noted that there is a difference between building something and if something already exists. The Town Manager indicated that staff informs the applicant of what is needed. He also noted that when it is an issue of the location of a structure, a certified plot plan is needed. Vice Chairman Richard Schubert suggested a decision tree or user friendly guide with definitions. He suggested finding out if other communities have guides. Chairman Camille Anthony indicated that the form had a lot of verbiage and needs to be refined. She suggested highlighting action items with symbols. Selectman James Bonazoli asked about the complaint notification process. The Town Manager noted that a letter is first sent indicating that there appears to be a violation and requests that the property owner see the Building Inspector within 14 days. If the property owner does not respond, then they get a ticket. If they don't pay the ticket, then they receive a notice from the Town Clerk. Selectman James Bonazoli suggested adding to the notice a check box for people to indicate they want to appeal. The Town Manager noted that the intent is to let people know they have a violation — a ticket is not the first part of the process. Board of Selectmen Meeting= July 26, 2005 — Page 5 Selectman James Bonazoli asked if the burden can be put on the complainant. The Town Manager indicated that it could not, and noted that most violations get taken care of before getting to this stage. Vice Chairman Richard Schubert asked if there was any way to describe "grandfathering," and the Town Manager noted that is where the ZBA comes in. The Town Manager indicated that he would check with Town Counsel regarding the law and variances. Review of Reading Police Department "Most Wanted" Website — Police Chief James Cormier and Police Officer Dave Stamatis were present. The Town Manager noted that Chief Cormier suggested this website; and they checked with Town Counsel on the legality. Chief Cormier noted that Officer Stamatis has worked hard on the website. Most bigger cities have a most wanted site and he would like to add one to ours. Mug shots can be used on the website and as warrants are recalled, the picture and info will be removed right away. Officer Stamatis noted that he takes a lot of pride on the website. He indicated that this will give residents a sense of participation and will be another median of communication. He also noted that the court issues warrants and asks the Police to serve them. The people posted on the website will be a resident who committed a crime in Reading. It would be for more serious crimes that would require five or more years in prison and also controlled substance violations. The website will be maintained and updated daily by himself or someone on the Technology Division. Selectman Joseph Duffy asked how many outstanding warrants there are in Reading, and Chief Cormier indicated approximately 70 -100, but only the most recent will be put on the website. Vice Chairman Richard Schubert asked how the website will be advertised, and Chief Cormier indicated in public displays, Selectmen's meetings, etc. Vice Chairman Schubert noted that he needs to be aware of community feedback and make adjustments as necessary. He also asked if there are security systems in place, and Officer Stamatis noted that the Town server is protected. Selectman Ben Tafoya asked if a warrant is issued if that means a person has been convicted of a crime at this time. Chief Cormier indicated not necessarily but there is at least probable cause. Selectman Tafoya asked if a distinction will be noted on the website, and Chief Cormier indicated that could be done. Selectman Ben Tafoya asked how many will be posted at one time, and Chief Cormier noted that approximately six will be posted. Vice Chairman Richard Schubert noted that it should be clarified on the website as to what a resident should or shouldn't do if they have seen one of the criminals who are posted. Review of Proposed Land Acquisition — Kieran Road — The Town Manager noted that this is 10 acres of privately owned land. The owners are interested in selling to the Town. Grants are not available at this time. The Town Manager indicated that he has talked with the Town Forest 6 Board of Selectmen Meeting — July 26, 2005 — Page 6 Committee and Conservation Commission and they are both interested. This land abuts other town owned land. He doesn't know the cost yet but it could be approximately $100,000- $200,000. Selectman Joseph Duffy asked if the owners have indicated what they want, and the Town Manager indicated that they have not. Vice Chairman Richard Schubert indicated that he feels this is worth pursuing. Selectman Ben Tafoya asked if the Town had adopted the Community Preservation Act, would this have paid for it. The Town Manager indicated that it would have. Selectman James Bonazoli asked why we would want to take this off the tax rolls, and the Town Manager indicated that it is not a big loss of money. He also noted that this property would add value to the community with trails and passive recreation. The consensus of the Board was to move forward. The Town Manager will get for the Board of Selectmen the amount of taxes being paid on the property. Schedule Board of Selectmen Retreat — August 16 or August 30? — The consensus of the Board is to have their Retreat on August 16, 2005.

It appears that the Commission's opinion is that any new owner, who had not previously applied for a demolition permit would have to reapply if they choose to demolish the building. I have reviewed the Reading Demolition of Historical Significant structures bylaw and it is my opinion that once a determination has been made concerning the significance of the property there would be no requirement for a subsequent owner to reapply. The bylaw uses the term "applicant" and owner interchangeable which would appear to result in an interpretation that the applicant does not have to be the owner. Such a conclusion follows the procedures with most other permitting provisions relating to land use. Developers regularly apply for permits prior to purchasing the property. If the permits issued are not satisfactory they can either not purchase the land or seek a reduced price. Likewise it behooves a homeowner to determine the permitting obligations on his/her property prior to marketing it. There is nothing in the current bylaw that would prohibit the practice complained of by the Commission. Under the section 5.13.3 Procedures of the bylaw, no language is included that would provide that the Demolition Permit is issued to the individual and not the property. An analogy can be made to the issuance of variances and special permits which run with the land and entitle 3 #-01 not only the applicant but subsequent owners the right to exercise the benefits granted thereunder. The stated purposes of the demolition bylaw are to preserve and protect historically significant structures and to find individuals who may want to restore and/or preserve them rather than destroy them. As such if the structure is found to be significant the bylaw requires a six month delay in demolition. The purpose of the six month delay is to determine options for the structure. The owner is responsible for participating in the investigation of alternatives to demolition. It would be redundant to require and would serve no purpose to make a subsequent owner go through the same process. Please advise if you have additional questions concerning this issue.

This land was taken in 1937 for taxes together with the land under the control of the School Committee ( Approx . 20,000 Sq. Ft. ) there is 160,000 plus Sq. Ft. Given the value of land in Reading I would suggest a sale of this land would bring upwards of $ 1.5 mil . While it can not be used to build sidewalks it can free up funds in other areas that can in turn be used for sidewalks or roads . Given the Towns record on property sales I would strongly suggest it be sold at auction if legally possibly. William C. Brown 28 Martin Rd.

Around the same time we will make the following changes to the staff configuration. Drinr to nr -tnhpr 2005 As of October 2005 Position Hours/ week Position Hours /week Coordinator of Volunteers 30 Coordinator of Volunteers 21 Nutrition Program 31 Senior Center 35 Coordinator Coordinator (to include about 30 minutes per day in support of the MOW program) The week of July 25, 1 will discuss these changes with staff, most specifically with the 2 staff positions directly affected — the Coordinator of Volunteers and the Nutrition Program Coordinator. Following that discussion I will work with HR Administrator Carol Roberts to post the position of Senior Center Coordinator. If there are applicants in -house who meet the qualifications, I will arrange for interviews. If not, I will work with Carol to get the position advertised so that we can have someone in place by early October to complete the 61 transition on this aspect of the consultant's recommendations. I understand that this represents an increase in total staffing levels in this Division of approximately .5 FTE. This is necessary in order to allow the Administrator to focus time and efforts on fully implementing the consultant's recommendations. Once these recommendations are fully implemented and running smoothly — estimated to be 12 to 24 months - then we can further evaluate the staffing levels, and see if we can accomplish all of the mission of the Division with a reduction in staff to current levels. Attachments: Evaluation of the Nutrition Program Coordinators Position Coordinator of Volunteers Revised job description Senior Center Coordinator job description Evaluation of the Nutrition Program Coordinator's Position Prepared by: Dawn Folopoulos . Costs (IFY06) Our Nutrition Program Coordinator's salary at 31 hrs/week (not including benefits) =$26,388/year $16.37/hour. This position is also entitled to 10 vacation days, 11 paid holidays, and up to 15 sick days. According to MVES the meal site portion of the job requires 3.5 hours per day. At our Nutrition Program Coordinator's salary (3.5 hrs=$57.30/day = $14,897/year) If MVES provides an employee for this task... They will charge the Town of Reading a cash match of $5,593/year. The cost of a MVES hired Meals on Wheels Driver(s) (MOW) is included in this amount. The option to continue to use our volunteer drivers is available. MVES Costs MOW Driver $8,200 /year (15 hours a week for I driver) Site Manager +$9,,1 OQ&ga- (17.5 hours a week) $17,300 /year (Benefits are not included in this amount) - $5,593 /vear cash match from Reading $11,707 /year total Reading Cost Savings Salary $26,388 /year Cash Match -$5 �,5 $20, 7951year total Advantages and disadvantages of transferring responsibility for the mealsite and/or MOW programs to MVES. Advantages - • Cost savings could be applied to having a Senior Center Coordinator. • Consistency: If MVES provided The Meals on Wheels driver, it would benefit the seniors in that they would see the same person everyday. This consistency could add peace of mind for the seniors. Additional, the driver would be more apt to notice any change in the senior's health. ■ Dan OLeary, the director at MVES "wants to be a good partner."' They have no desire to change the current arrangement but are willing to work with us to create a different way of handling this service if we need them to. Disadvantages - • The seniors are familiar with our Nutrition Program Coordinator. And the Nutrition Program Coordinator is keenly aware of the seniors individual needs. There may be some loss of comfort if the current Nutrition Program Coordinator were not providing the noontime meal and possibly a decrease in attendance. ■ We cant be certain that a MVES employee would be as dedicated to our seniors as our current Nutrition Program Coordinator. ■ If we have a MVES employee as the meal site manager, we have no say in choosing that person. Yet, they will have a significant Influence on the atmosphere at the center and the quality of the service. If we did not have a good match our lunch attendance could potential decline and we.could lose kitchen volunteers. ■ Reading residents have a strong sense of pride in their volunteerism. If we had a MVES driver we could offer our current volunteer drivers other opportunities. During this transition we risk losing some volunteers.

By all accounts their response to this situation was conducted in a highly professional manner. I compliment them on their quick response to what could have been a very serious and life threatening emergency. The Town of Reading is very fortunate to have such professional emergency personnel in its employ. It is times like this that demonstrate what a fine community in which we live and gives another opportunity for our emergency personnel to show what wonderful role models they are for Reading's young people.
