(Seal)
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS
September 22, 1994
Middlesex, ss.
To any of the constables of the Town of Reading, Greetings:
In the name of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, you are hereby required to notify
and warn the inhabitants of the Town of Reading, qualified to vote in elections and Town
affairs, to meet at the Reading Memorial High School Auditorium, 62 Oakland Road in said
Reading, on Thursday, September 22, 1994, at seven-thirty o'clock in the evening, at which
time and place the following articles are to be acted upon and determined exclusively by Town
Meeting Members in accordance with the provisions of the Reading Home Rule Charter.
ARTICLE 1 To hear and act on the reports of the Board of Selectmen, Town
Accountant, Treasurer-Collector, Board of Assessors, Director of Public Works, Town Clerk,
Tree Warden, Board of Health, School Committee, Contributory Retirement Board, Library
Trustees, Municipal Light Board, Finance Committee, Cemetery Trustees, Community Planning
& Development Commission, Town Manager and any other Board or Special Committee.
Background
Article 1 is the article under which reports are- made to Town Meeting Members. There
are no known reports to be made.
Bylaw Committee Report No Report
Finance Committee Report No Resort
ARTICLE 2 To choose all other necessary Town Officers and Special Committees
and determine what instructions shall be given Town Officers and Special Committees, and to
see what sum the Town will raise by borrowing or transfer from available funds, or otherwise,
and appropriate for the purpose of funding Town Officers and Special Committees to carry out
the instructions given to them, or take any other action with respect thereto.
Background
Article 2 provides for Town Meeting to make instructions to Town Officers and special
committees. These are often instructions that come up during Town Meeting and they
are not known ahead of time..
Bylaw Committee Report No Rep
Finance Committee Report No Report
ARTICLE 3 To see if the Town will vote to amend the Capital Improvement Program
as provided for in Section 7-7 of the Reading Home Rule Charter and as previously amended,
or take any other action with respect thereto.
Background
Article 3 - The attached three pages of the Capital Improvement Program as adopted by
Town Meeting last Spring, reflect the shifting of several road construction projects from
FY96 to FY95 in order to expend the $437,355 in available Chapter 90 funds. Chapter 90
funds, in accordance with the Capital Improvement Program, will be expended on Franklin
Street from Main to Grove, on Grove Street from Franklin to Lowell, on Walnut Street
(this is increased from the amount previously anticipated), on Summer Avenue from
Brook to Main, and on Pearl Street from Franklin to Main. This is also reflected in a
change in the grant or outside funding amount under Source of Funding.
The remainder. of the Capital Improvement Program from FY96 through 2004 will be
modified as part of next year's Capital Improvement Program process, to fully program all
available Chapter 90 funds at that time.
Bylaw Committee Report No Report
Finance Committee Report The Finance Committee, at their meeting on August
31, 1994, recommended the subject matter of this article in the amount of $437,855 in
accordance with the revised Capital Improvement Program, by a vote of 8-0-0.
ARTICLE 4 To see what sum the Town will vote to appropriate from available funds
for highway projects in accordance with Chapter 90, Massachusetts General Laws, or take any
other action with respect thereto.
Background
Article 4 - Town Meeting was informed in the spring of 1994 that Chapter 90 monies
had at that time not yet been made available to the cities and towns, and could not be
appropriated. The Town has just been informed that its Chapter. 90 allocation for FY95
and FY96 is $875,710. Half of that amount, or $437,855 is available in FY95. Because
the Town is interested in getting some of our road construction projects under way prior
to the winter of 1994-95, a Special Town Meeting to appropriate available Chapter 90
funds has been called.
The Capital Improvement Program approved by Town Meeting.last spring outlines the
projects that will be undertaken. The appropriation by Town Meeting of the Chapter 90
monies is a general appropriation since we don't know the exact cost of any one of
those projects. The Capital Improvement Program outlines the Town's intent of the
priority of expenditure.
It is the Town's intent to do the Franklin Street and Grove Street work this fall. This
would be a microchip seal process similar to that used on High Street. Some areas of
the roads would be reconstructed where they have failed badly. The entire roadway
including the reconstructed area would then be oversealed with the microchip seal
which will extend the life of the roadway. It is important to try to do this work before
winter in order to protect these roads.
2
Additionally it is anticipated that upper Pearl Street from Franklin to Main Street will be
into construction this fall with the majority of the work done next spring.
Bylaw Committee Rem No Report
