Hechenbleikner Town Manager Town of Reading 16 Lowell Street Reading, MA 01867 Subject: Reappointment to the Community Planning & Development Commission (CPDC) Dear Mr. Hechenbleikner: This letter is in response to your recent communication regarding the subject reappointment. Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend tomorrow's Board of Selectmen's hearing, Since my appointment in June of last year, I have developed a better appreciation for the various town processes required to support the functions of the CPDC. This is due in large part to the wonderful and dedicated individuals currently serving on the Commission, Jonathan, Neil, Susan, and Dick have a wealth of experience and I have benefited from their wisdom and insight, Chris Reilly has a demonstrated ability to keep the Commission focused on the key issues, and along with other town staff (such as Joe Delaney), provide the right information, at the right time and at the right level. I sincerely hope that my efforts have had a net positive affect on the Commission. I have attempted to leverage my engineering, project management and medical device background to help identify novel approaches to some of the difficult issues the Commission regularly faces. One such effort resulted in a guidance document for the public hearing process of site plan reviews, In addition, I have become actively involved with the Master Planning Advisory Committee (MPAC). On that Committee, my focus has been on keeping the team organized, developing consensus around the tasks to accomplish, prioritizing the efforts, and trying to set forth a structured process that includes using . documented criteria for making decisions. The town continues to face a difficult challenge with how to balance the desire to retain a glow England Character' while needing to address the many economic, housing, development (land use), transportation, and other issues common to our region. My perspective is that the CPDC, in concert with the other town Committees and Boards, must continue to work together with the public, businesses and other local, state and federal agencies in order to be successful. I would like to continue to offer my support to those efforts by asking for reappointment to the CPDC. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly, Regards, = ~~c/ ohn Sasso P.02 Page 1 of 2 C - Hechenbleikner, Peter From: Hechenbleikner, Peter Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 1:59 PM To: 'frank murray'; Reading - Selectmen Cc: Fiore, Jane Subject: RE: dog attack Frank Thanks for your email. You may be aware of the following, but in case you are not: • The incident took place on May 28 • The dog was quarantined immediately at home, which is appropriate practice in such a situation. • The Animal Control Officer has visited the house to make sure that the quarantine is being enforced • An administrative hearing was held on June 2 by the Health Services Administrator. • A fine was issued and paid • The owner has been ordered by the health Services Administrator to have the animal taken to behavioral training school • The dog was/is registered in another community, and proof of rabies vaccination was submitted to the local Health Services Administrator. • The dogie is required henceforth to always be on a leash. This matter comes under the Board of Health who have adopted regulations on these kind of situations. They are taken very seriously, and fortunately we have very few incidents. When incidents do occur, they are handled very swiftly. Some communities have bylaws addressing pit bulls. I am told that this is not a pure bred and would not fall under such a bylaw. I know we all share your concerns for safety, and especially the safety of children. That;'s why we take the issue so seriously and respond as soon as we become aware of an issue.

Recently a pit bull owned by a person on our street attacked a young boy. And as I understand it, the dog is still in the owners house (being quarantined). I hear every year of many incidents like this and with this very dangerous breed. I live in Reading for many reasons, but the safety of my children is the top reason. I can't believe that this dog is not being held by the police. Imagine this dangerous animal in your neighborhood. I don't know what you can do, but I would appreciate anything that you can do. Going forward, we should pass a law that handles cases like these, swiftly. I like dogs, but this breed or any 6n12005 23 ARD OF SELECTMEN MEETING SIGN-IN SHEET FOR THE 21olczoos- DATE:' (Please print) NAME ADDRESS logy. IT Nvcvl-,-~ Gc~ o Lc~o w►d aove4o '7, M)
