Board ofSelectmen The following list is budget transfers that are required for P/1999sd this time. The following are major changes: *The major transfers are to place the funds from the personnel budget into the individual salary budgets that were provided for non-union salary step increases. * The Regional Vocational School District budget that was finally adopted in October requires additional funding; * FY 1999 revenues are greater than anticipated, and funds will be restored to the School Department to begin the 3 Y2year phased implementation of the building maintenance recommendations ($42,000); and to restore the "per pupil" expenditures 1nthe schools es requested /$142.00O\; * Debt was sold earlier than anticipated in order to take advantage of favorable markets. This will save the Town over $1 million iO the long run. The source Vf funds is from sale of real estate; + The Bacigalupo home rule petition is costing the Town $7500 because it comes from the non-contributory pension system. Asgresult of the budget modifications, the cash reserves of the Town will be restored to the 5% goal.

Board of Selectmen The Town Manager included in the FY1999 budget the expense of once per week rubbish collection and disposal and recycling for condominiums in Reading. This was done fOUOvVOg a dlgOge in Board of Selectmen policy that VVoU|d provide for that collection, subject to funding in the budget, During the deliberation on the FY 1999 budget, Town Meeting Voted to remove the funding for condominium rubbish collection and disposal, and [8CydiOQ. TOVVO Meeting also approved an iDst[ucUOD8| motion that dinect8d_thatthi3 issue be brought back k}Town K88eUOg in the F8||. The Board Of G8|8Ct[Oen has placed the Article on the Warrant in reflection of the instructional motion. The full gOOuo| oOSt of rubbish collection and disposal for condominiums is $64.401 for FY 2000. As a practical matter, if Town Meeting approved this Article in NoVgDlbeF. we CDU|d not begin collection WOd| approximately April 1, 1999. This is because ofthe need for our contractors to acquire additional dunnpstora and FanydiOg biOa, and to provide for the proper phasing of this vvo[h. TherefoPe, the estimated cost fOr% ofFY1S99 would be $16, 100. The annual cost estimate is higher than it was when considered as part of the FY 1999 budget— it was approximately $39.000. That figure did not include the Summit Village c0OUO0iOiUDlg or the Leaning BDl Farms site. It had also not taken into account pending. the cost of clumpster rentals and the purchase of special recycling bins. Finance Committee Report: Action Bylaw Commiftee Report: No repo .

Reading Municipal Light Board _ = The Reading Municipal Light Department ("RK8LO^ has identified through several -'stud ie s that additional electric capacity is required in the northeast quadrant of its electric system. Additional capacity can be brought to this area via a new transmission substation to be constructed by RPWLD. For technical and financial reasons, RK8LO needs to locate the substation next to transmission lines owned by its electric transmission supplier, New England Power Company ("NEP"). RK8LD owns two parcels of land in North Reading located ot24and 57 Haverhill - Street. The 57 Haverhill Street property is the site of an existing RIVILO distribution ( > ' substation. The 24 Haverhill Street property was purchased as a possible substation site as well as for its direct access to NEP's transmission lines which cross the property. As part of its commitment to neighbors to the 24 Haverhill Street property, RK8LO conducted two neighborhood meetings to discuss its plans for the SubSt8U0O with iObaneetad abutters. The attendees at both meetings were strongly opposed to siting the SUbSt8tiOO 8|oOQ Haverhill St[eet, and asked ifRIVILO could find another location that was not in their neighborhood. A suggestion was made to investigate two other sites. RK8LO found one site unsuitable. The other site, owned by the Town of North Reading and cU[[eOdy used in part for Town Department of Public Works ("DP\8/") pu[poaes, appeared potentially suitable for g substation site. It is not located near any residential neighborhood and surrounding uses would be compatible with a substation. Public officials, particularly including 8 number OfNorth Reading Selectmen at the second neighborhood 0eeUOg, agreed to help RIVIL[) pursue a plan that would allow RK8LDtV construct o substation at the North Reading DPW site. These officials support siting the substation at this \ocation, and have asked their Town Counsel and Town Boards to work with FlK8LD to this end. The plan would o)|ovv approximately 6.5 acres of the 55-acre DPW site, in on area adjacent to the NEP transmission |inao, to be deeded toRMLD. An easement would have tobe executed to allow RW1LO access from the site to Chestnut Stneed, the nearest public way. In exchange for this oiha.

Amend Paragraph 4.2.2. "Table of Uses" as follows: Delete the word "No" and substitute therefor "SPA" under the column, Res 8-15.8-2O.S-4O and opposite Nursing Home. Community Planning and Development Commission The Spence Farm property on West Street isin Chapter O1 status which means that the property owner has received a preferential tax status for agricultural use. Part of the benefit to the Town in having a property in Chapter O1 is that the Town has a 12O day period of time hJ meet any bona fide offer for the purchase ofthat property. The Marriott Corporation has made a bOD8 fide offer for the property in the amount of $1.75 Dli|!ion, and the Town has until November 7th to decide whether tO acquire the property. The Marriott Corporation proposes t0 develop 125 units of assisted housing on the propedv — a similar type of housing to the Longwood at Pearl Street (former Pearl Street School) development in Reading. In order to develop such a uoe, an extension of the special permit procedures for nursing homes is proposed byCPDC. The use proposed is viewed from a community perspective as being very faVo[abka — |oVvdornond for public services, low traffic ggDenaUml, the creation of almost 3 acres of open space (active recreation uses are being eva|uated>, and o net positive tax yield. Affordable housing vvOu|d be 8 part Ofany such development, either on site or off site. The property is currently zoned for G-20 and might generate 11 ho[noe if developed as zoned. Single family homes generate o net tax loss to the connrnundv mostly because of educational costs. Finance Committee Report: No report. Bylaw Committee Report: No repo .

Board of Selectmen The Town has been trying since 1E88 to have the 3 billboards on Main Street removed. (There used to be 4 billboards but one fell down and the OAB did not grant approval to re+iOats|| it). They are not iO compliance with local zoning and are not iO conformance with the Outdoor Advertising Board (C]AB) regulations. After years of legal process, the Outdoor Advertising Board finally found in the Town's favor but vvoV|d not order the removal of the billboards because to do so would trigger a demand for compensation by the owner. The compensation claims would reputedly beiO the tens Or hundreds of thousands ofdollars. / 19 AK Media. the 0VVO8ng of the bUlbVanjs, had previously approached the Town with a proposal to trade off these sites fora site or sites in Reading that would be more acceptable. In 1998. they again approached the Town with a specific proposal to locate g single 2 sided billboard On \8/eSt Street on the Woburn side of |'95, and in exchange would give Up the 2 existing sites on North N18iO Street. Additionally, AK Media owns the two acres where the double billboard is |oCBtgd, and would donate that site to the Town. |tie adjacent to the Kurchian Woods Conservation Area. The proposed site OD West Street South Of 1-93 is g co[DOl8rCi8| zone and is adjacent to CO[nDle[cio| and indUot[|8| zOO|Dg in VVObu[O. The Y|s|bU|tV of the site is from 1'83. All of the conditions outlined in the Spgd8| Permit conditions VvOW|d have to be met. AK Media has presented the TOVVD with 8 draft relocation agreement which VVoU|d include the elimination Vfthe two other sites oO Main Street and the donation of the land.
