THURSDAY APRIL 25, 1991 Continuation of ATM business. ; MONDAY APRIL 29, 1991 Continuation of ATM business. ALL SESSIONS WILL BE HELD AT THE READING MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM AT 7:30 P.M. THE CONDUCT OF TOWN AlEErING Reading's Town Meeting is conducted in accordance with the rules set down in Article 2 of the Charter. Although Robert's Rules of Order is the basic source, a Town Meeting member need only be familiar with what is contained in the Charter. These notes are intended to outline the major points that all Town Meeting members should know, and which by knowing, will make Town Meeting more understandable. ORGANIZATION . Town Meeting consists of 192 elected members, of which 97 constitute a quorum. There are two required sessions: the Annual Meet- ing in spring which is primarily for fiscal matters and acceptance of the annual budget, and the Sub- sequent Meeting in November. Special Town Meetings may be called at any time that the need arises. • Adjourn Ends the sessions, can be moved at any time. • Recess Stops business for a short time, generally to resolve a procedural question or to obtain informa- tion. • Lay on the Table Stops debate with the intention generally of bringing the subject up again later. May also be used to defer action on an article for which procedurally a negative vote is undesirable. Note that tabled motions die with adjournment. • There are three main committees which review cer- tain articles and advise. Town Meeting of their recommendations: Finance, for all expenditures of funds, By-Law for all by-law changes and the Community Planning and Development Commission for all zoning changes. Their reports are given prior to discussing the motion. GENERAL RULES OF PROCEDURE • The meeting is conducted through the warrant ar- ticles which are presented (moved) as motions. Only one motion may be on the floor at a time; however, the motion may be amended. Often two or more articles which address the same subject may be discussed together; however, only one is formally on the floor, and each when moved is acted upon individually. Note that the vote on one may influence the others. • Members who wish to speak shall rise, state their name and precinct, in order to be recognized • A member may speak for ten minutes, but permis- sion must be asked to exceed this limit. • (7) members can question a vote and call for a standing count and (20) can ask for a roll call vote; however, a roll call vote is seldom used because of the time it takes. PRINCIPAL MOTIONS ENCOUNTERED AT TOWN MEETING The following motions are the principal ones used in most cases by Town Meeting to conduct its business. Experience shows that the members should be familiar with these. Move the Previous Question Upon acceptance by a two-thirds vote, stops all debate and brings the subject to a vote. This is generally the main motion, or the most recent amendment, unless qualified by the mover. The reason for this as provided in Roberts Rules of Order is to allow for other amend- ments should they wish to be presented. Amend Offers changes to the main motion. Must be in accordance with the motion and may not sub- stantially alter the intent of the motion. In accord- ance with Roberts Rules of Order only one primary and one secondary motion will be allowed on the floor at one time, unless specifically accepted by the Moderator. Indefinitely Postpone Disposes of the article without a yes or no vote. • Take from the Table Brings back a motion which was previously laid on the table. • Main Motion The means by which a subject is brought before the meeting. THE FOLLOWING MOTIONS MAY BE USED BY A MEMBER FOR THE PURPOSE NOTED Question of Privilege Sometimes used to offer a resolution. Should not be used to "steal" the floor. • Point of Order To raise a question concerning the conduct of the meeting. o Point of Information To ask for information relevant to the business at hand. i. MULTIPLE MOTIONS SUBSEQUENT (MULTIPLE) MOTIONS If the subsequent motion to be offered, as distinct from an amendment made during debate, includes material which has previously been put to a vote and defeated, it will be viewed by the Moderator as reconsideration and will not be accepted. If the subsequent motion contains distinctly new material which is within the scope of the warrant article, then it will be accepted. An example of this latter situation is successive line items of an omnibus budget moved as a block. SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONSIDERATIONS . The maker of any proposed multiple motion shall make their intent known, and the content of the mo- tion to be offered shall be conveyed to the Moderator - prior to the initial calling of the War- rant article. . Once an affirmative vote has been taken on the mo- tion then on the floor - no further subsequent al- ternative motions will be accepted. (Obviously does not apply to the budget for example.) Also - There can only be one motion on the floor at any one time. You have the ability to offer amendments to the mo- tion that is on the floor. You also have the ability to move for Reconsidera- tion. METHOD FOR HANDLING THE ANNUAL BUDGET The annual budget, or similarly a lengthy bylaw, will be handled by the parliamentary procedure called "Consideration by Paragraph, or Seriatim." This is recommended in Robert's Rules of Order-for a long motion consisting of sections which can be discussed separately but which are so interrelated that action on a subsequent section may affect the action taken on a previous one. Consideration by paragraph allows that an earlier sec- tion may be adjusted to fit a change in a later section without going through the motion of reconsideration. The procedure is that each individual section, or separate motion if so made under one warrant article, is opened to debate and may be amended with a vote taken on any such amendment(s) at the time. No vote, however, is taken on the section itself until all sections have been considered. . Following debate on the.last section, the chair opens the entire article, budget or bylaw, to amendment. At this point any section may be amended as needed. Then the entire article is acted upon in a single vote.

Rule 7 When a question is put, the vote on all matters shall be taken by a show of hands and the Moderator shall declare the vote as it appears to him. If the Moderator is unable to decide the vote by the show of hands, or if his decision is immediately questioned by seven (7) or more members, he shall determine the question by ordering a standing vote and he shall ap- point tellers to make and return the count directly to him. On request of not less than twenty (20) members a vote shall be taken by roll call. Rule 8 All original main motions having to do with the expenditure of money shall be presented in writing and all other motions shall be in writing if so directed by the Moderator.

Moves to adjourn, to lay on the table and to take from the table'shall be decided without debate. Rule 12 The previous question shall be put in the fol- lowing form or in some other form having the same meaning: "Shall the main question now be put?", and until this question is decided all debate on the main question shall be suspended. If the previous question be adopted the sense of the meeting shall immediate- ly be taken upon any pending amendments, in the order inverse to that in which they were moved, except that the largest sum or the longest time shall be put first, and finally upon the main question. Rule 13 The duties of the Moderator and the conduct and method of proceeding at all Town Meetings, not prescribed by law or by the Rules set forth in this Ar- ticle, shall be determined by the rules of practice set forth in Robert's Rules of Order Revised, so far as they may be adapted to Town Meetings. Rule 14 All committees shall be appointed by the Moderator unless otherwise ordered by a vote of the Members present and voting. Rule 15 When the final report of a committee is placed in the hands of the Moderator it shall be deemed to be received and a vote to accept the same shall discharge iii. the committee, but shall not be equivalent to a vote to adopt it.

A motion to reconsider any vote must be made before the final adjournment of the meeting at which the vote was passed, but such motion to recon- sider shall not be made at an adjourned meeting un- less the mover has given notice of his intention to make such a motion, either at the session of the meeting at which the vote was passed, or by written notice to the Town Clerk within twenty-four (24) hours after the ad- journment of such session. There ' can be no recon- sideration of a vote once reconsidered, or after a vote not to reconsider. No article in the warrant shall again be taken into consideration after it has been disposed of unless ordered by a vote of two-thirds (2f3) of the votes present. The foregoing provisions relating to motion's to recon- sider shall not apply to any such motion made by the Board of Selectmen and authorized by the Town Moderator as necessary for the reconsideration of ac- tions previously taken by Town Meeting by reason of state or federal action or inaction or other circumstan- ces not within the control of the Town or Town Meet- ing. In the event such a motion to reconsider is made and authorized, said motion may be made at any time before the final adjournment of the meeting at which the vote was passed, said motion may be made even if the vote was already reconsidered or was the subject of a vote not to reconsider, and reconsideration may be ordered by a vote of two-thirds of the votes present. Section 5. Notice of every vote to be reconsidered at an adjourned town meeting shall be posted by the Town Clerk in two conspicuous public places in each precinct of the Town as soon as possible after adjourn- ment, and he shall, if practicable, at least one day before the time of the next following session of said ad- journed meeting, publish such notice in some newspaper published in the Town. Said notice shall include the vote to be reconsidered and the place and time of the next following session of said adjourned meeting. Any inhabitant of the Town may speak at a section ( Town Meeting, having first identified himself to the Moderator as an inhabitant of the Town. No in- habitant shall speak on any question more than five minutes without leave of the Town Meeting. In- habitants shall be given the privilege of speaking at Town Meetings only after all Town Meeting Members who desire to speak upon the question under con- sideration have first been given an opportunity to do so. Officers and Board and Committee Members who are not Town Meeting Members, shall have the same right to speak, but not to vote, as Town Meeting Mem- bers on all matters relating to their Office, Board or Committee.

Background Elections - Article 1 provides for the calling of the Town election for the positions listed. Election Day will have taken place by the time Town Meeting convenes. As Town Meeting members check in at the checkers' desks, newly- elected members will be asked to sign their oath at that time. The Town Moderator will then administer the oath of office to the group at the beginning of the first Town Meet- ing session. By-Law Committee Report No Report Finance Committee Report No Report ARTICLE 2 To hear and act on the reports of the Board of Selectmen, Town Accountant, Treasurer-Collector, Board of Asses- sors, 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 Boards or Special Committees. Board of Selectmen Background Reports - Article 2 will provide for reports to Town Meeting on various pending issues. There will be several reports including a report from CPDC on the Master Plan, a State of the Town report by the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, a status report on the sale of Town owned lands, and a Finan- cial report by the Finance Committee.Not all of these reports will be done exactly in order--some may be inter- spersed throughout Town Meeting as may be appropriate. By-Law Committee Report No Report Finance Committee Report No Report ARTICLE 3 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 Of- ficers and Special Committees to carry out the instructions given to them, or take any other action with respect thereto. Board of Selectmen 2 Background Instructions - This article appears on all Town Meeting War- rants and permits the Town Meeting to choose necessary Town officers and/or special committees, and to provide instruc- tions to the various officers and employees of the Town. The Article permits funding of instructional motions, should funds be needed. It is suggested that any member who plans on making an instructional notion which will require funding let the Finance Committee know of that fact as early as pos- sible in order to allow the FinCom to make a recommendation on the motion. This Article also will be used intermit- tently through Town Meeting, and will probably not be taken in order. There may be any number of instructional motions, but there will be two offered by the Board of Selectmen. One will be to seek Town Meeting endorsement of a specific trash fee program to off-set the FY92 increase in trash dis- posal expenses created by the RESCO pass-through costs. The second instructional motion will be to seek Town Meeting en- dorsement of an application by North Reading to have the in- dustrial areas on Concord Street included in the MWRA sewer service area, in order to provide protection to the Town of Reading's wellfields. There would be no cost to the Town of Reading, and the sanitary sewers would provide a con- siderable measure of protection. By-Law Committee Report No Report Finance Committee Report No Report ARTICLE 4 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. Board of Selectmen Background Amend Capital Improvement Program - This is an Article that appears in the Town Meeting Warrant each session, so that in the event that the Town Meeting wishes to amend the Capital Improvements Program to include or modify a project, this can be done. There are no known amendments to the Capital Improvements Program. By-Law Committee Report No Report Finance Committee Report No Report ARTICLE 5 To see if the Town will vote to adopt the Capital Improvement Program.as provided for in Section 7-7 of the Reading Home Rule Charter, or take any other action with respect thereto. Board of Selectmen Background Adopt Capital Improvement Program - Section 7-7 of the Read- ing Home Rule Charter requires the Town Manager to prepare and present a five-year Capital Improvements Program. This 3 is a separate section of this book that Town Meeting will receive and review. The annual review and update of the 5 Year Capital Improvements Program is included in the blue pages of the budget book in detail. It should be noted that C the Capital Improvement Program is intended as a guideline for current and future capital expenditures. However, the program, in and of itself, does not appropriate or authorize the expenditure of any funds. By-Law Committee Report No Report Finance Committee Report Recommend 7-0-0 ARTICLE 6 To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Town Treasurer-Collector, with the approval of the Board of Selectmen, to borrow money from time to time in anticipation of the revenue of the financial year beginning July 1, 1991, in accordance with the provision of the General Laws, Chapter 44, Section 4 and to issue a note or notes therefor, payable within one year and to renew any note or notes as may be given for a period of less than one year, in accordance with the General Laws, Chapter 44, Sec- tion 17, or take any other action with respect thereto. Treasurer-Collector Background Authorization to Borrow - This is a routine article on all Annual Town Meeting'Warrants. There is no anticipated need to borrow in anticipation of receipts for FY92, but this ar- ticle is routinely adopted so that the Treasurer-Collector will have the ability-to borrow if needed, and thus ensure the uninterrupted operations of Town government. Borrowing in anticipation of receipts requires approval of the Board of Selectmen. The last time the Town had to borrow in an- ticipation of receipts was in 1974. By-Law Committee Report No Report Finance Committee Report Recommends 7-0-0 ARTICLE 7 To see if the Town will vote to authorize the pay- ment during Fiscal Year 1992 of bills remaining unpaid for pre- vious fiscal years for goods and services actually rendered to the Town, or take any other action with respect thereto. Board of Selectmen Background Authorization to Pay Unpaid Bills - This article appears on the Annual Town Meeting Warrant to authorize the payment of FY91 bills in FY92. Since there are no such bills an- ticipated, this article may be indefinitely postponed. By-Law Committee Report No Report Finance Committee Report No Report 4 ARTICLE 8 To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Board of Selectmen to sell, or exchange, or dispose of, upon such ( terms and conditions as they may determine, various items of Town tangible property, or take any other action with respect thereto. Board of Selectmen Background Disposal of Property - This article is needed to authorize the disposition of materials for which the Town no longer has a need. The only items anticipated to be included under this article would the the trade-in of two police vehicles, the sale or trade-in of the lawn mower in the Cemetery Divi- sion of the Department of Public Works, and the trade-in of the pickup truck in the Sewer Division of the Department of Public Works. The total value of all these pieces of equip- ment is expected to be under $5000. By-Law Committee Report No Report Finance Committee Report Recommend 7-0-0 ARTICLE 9 To determine how much money the Town will raise by borrowing, or from the tax levy, or transfer from available funds, or otherwise, and appropriate for the operation of the Town and its government, or take any other action with respect thereto. Board of Selectmen Background Budget for FY92 - Article 9 is the FY92 municipal budget, which is included in the yellow pages of this document. This Article is discussed in detail in other sections of this report. By-Law Committee Report No Action Finance Committee Report See Details in Budget Section ARTICLE 10 To see whether the Town will vote to rescind the remaining bond authorization(s) for the purpose of constructing a new Central Fire Station, constructing Drainage Improvements, and constructing Roadway Improvements, or take any other action with respect thereto. Board of Selectmen Background Bond Rescission - Article 10 would rescind previous debt authorizations for three projects: The Fire Headquarters project had a bond authorization of $2,500,000 for its construction. The total cost of the project was $2,305,000, and the remaining authorization of $195,000 should be rescinded. In the 1989 Annual Town Meeting, debt was authorized to reconstruct South Street from Main to Walnut. The amount of debt authorized was $150,000. Since that authorization, the Town has secured Chapter 90 State funds which may, be used for that purpose, and it is therefore recommended that this 5 previous authorization be rescinded. In the 1989 Annual Town Meeting, $210,000 in debt was authorized to construct drainage improvements on part of the Saugus River basin, from Main Street. northeastward to Walkers Brook Drive. While drainage work continues to be a need in Reading, street repair and reconstruction must take a higher priority during these difficult financial times. At such later date that the Town is able to undertake such projects, Town Meeting authorization will be requested in order to reauthorize this project. Meanwhile, staffing levels and other priorities suggest that the debt authoriza- tion for this project be rescinded. Rescission of these amounts does not give the Town any addi- tional funds, but it does eliminate the debt authorization from our debt limit, and cleans up our financial statements and accounting records. By-Law Committee Report No Report Finance Committee Report Recommend 7-0-0 ARTICLE 11 To see if the Town will vote to amend the Reading Zoning By-Laws by deleting Section 7.2.1. thereof in its en- tirety, and substituting therefor the followings 7.2.1. The Town Manager shall appoint a Zoning Enforcement officer, who shall be charged, designated, and authorized with the enforcement of these Bylaws." and by substituting the words "Zoning Enforcement Officer" for the words "Building Inspector" in Sections 3.2., 4.6.3., and 7.2.3. of the Zoning By-Laws; by substituting the words "Zoning Enforcement Officer's" for the words "Building Inspector's" in Sections 4.4A.3. and 4.9.3.18. of the 'Zoning By-Laws; by deleting the words "and Massachusetts State Building Code" from Section 4.9.3.18. thereof; and by adding the words "or Zoning Enforcement officer as appropriate" immediately after the word "Buildings" in Sections 7.1.1., 7.1:1.1., and 7.1.2. of the Zoning Bylaws, or take any other action with respect thereto. Board of Selectmen Background Zoning officer Bylaw - Article 11 would allow the Town Manager to appoint a Zoning Officer who may be someone other than the Building Inspector. It is the intent of the Board of Selectmen to provide in the motion under this article language that would make the appointment effective for a year, and to permit a Zoning Officer or Officers to be ap- pointed. The purpose of the Article is to give the Town the flexibility to designate a Zoning Officer other than the Building Inspector in order to give the Town the ability to respond to changing economic conditions and the effect of those conditions on the Building Inspector's workload. During very busy times, the Building Inspector doesn't al- ways have time to devote to Zoning Enforcement. During less 6 busy times the Town needs the flexibility to regionalize, share, or otherwise provide Building Inspection services at the minimal possible costs, and that may dictate that the ( Building Inspector is not in the best position to do Zoning Enforcement. Additionally, when the Building Inspector is out of Town for vacation, or is sick, we use the services of a Building Inspector from another Town to fill in. The out- side Inspector cannot be expected to know Reading's Zoning Bylaws (the Building Code is uniform through-out the State, but each Town has its own Zoning Bylaw). The Community Planning and Development Commission has reviewed this proposed Bylaw change at a Public Hearing, and recommends its adoption with the conditions noted. This ar- ticle requires a 2/3 vote of Town Meeting, as do all Zoning issues. Following is a copy of the text as it will appear in the motion. By-Law Committee Report Recommend 3-1-0 provides the flexibility needed for effective administration of zoning law enforcement and future regionalization without loss of accountability. Finance Committee Report No Report CPDC Report Recommend unanimously with the 11. That the Town.Manaaer shall appoint one or more Zoni Enforcement Officers for a minimum term of one year each, who shall be charged, designated, and authorized with the enforcement of Zoning By-Laws." The basis of this recommendation is that this change would promote flexibility, back-up, specialization, and regionalization of Zoning enforcement services. PROPOSED MOTION UNDER.ARTICLE 11 Moved that the Town vote to amend the Reading Zoning Bylaws by deleting Section 7.2.1. thereof in its entirety, and sub- stituting therefore the following: 117.2.1. The Town Manager shall appoint a Zoning En- forcement Officer, for a minimum term of one (1) year, who shall be charged, designated, and authorized with the enforcement of these Zoning Bylaws. The Town Manager may also appoint one (1) or more alternate Zoning Enforcement Officers to assist the Zoning Enforcement Officer or act in his or her stead." and by substituting the words "Zoning Enforcement Officer" for the words "Building Inspector" in Sections 3.2., 4.8.2.1., 7.2.2. and 7.2.3. of the Zoning Bylaws; by sub- stituting the words "Zoning Enforcement Officer's" for the words "Building Inspector's" in Section 4.4A.3. and 4.9.3.18. of the Zoning Bylaws; by deleting the words "and ( Massachusetts State Building Code" from Section 4.9.3.18. thereof; and by adding the words "or Zoning Enforcement Of- 7 ficer as appropriate10 immediately after the word "Buildings" in Sections 7.1.1. and 7.1.2. and immediately after the words "Building Inspector" in Sections 4.6.3., 4.7.5.. and 7.1.1.1. of the Zoning Bylaws. So that the revised Sections will read as follows (new language is shown in bold print): 3.2 Zoning Map Districts are shown, defined and bounded on the map entitled "Reading Zoning Map", dated November 1, 1986, as amended, consisting of an index map and 35 sheets containing 39 detailed maps, prepared and signed by the Community Planning and Development Commission, which constitutes a part of these By-laws. The map shall be kept on file and current by the Community Planning and Development Commission, who shall supply copies to the Town Clerk, the Btrr-l-trig-err Zoning Enforcement officer and the Board of Appeals. There shall be appended to the "Reading Zoning Map" as Exhibits 1, 2, 3 and 4 the maps entitled "Flood Insurance Rate Map, Town of Reading, Massachusetts Middlesex County," with an effec- tive date of July 2, 1981 consisting of Panel 1 of 4, Panel 2 of 4, Panel 3 of 4, and Panel 4 of 4.

This power shall in no way eliminate, decrease or abrogate the powers of any other board, committee, commission or other authority having legal jurisdiction. It shall be the duty and responsibility of the applicant to secure any and all permits, licenses and approvals necessary to the project. Copies of. the detailed decision of the Community. Planning and Development Commission shall be transmitted to both the applicant and to the Board of Appeals within 45 days after the Community Planning and Development commission receives the submission for Site Plan review. 4.8.2.1. The Aquifer Protection District is hereby established to in- clude those areas within Reading from which water will flow to the municipal wells, either directly through the groundwater system or indirectly, first, through the surface water system and then through the groundwater system. The district includes all areas delineated on the Aquifer Protection District Map, dated September, 1985, on file with the Town Clerk, Bttil4ir "-fnapeeter Zoning Enforcement of- ficer, Community Planning and Development Commission, and Reading Department of Public Works. 4.9.3.18. Conformity with PUD Plan and Special Permit 1 If, for any PUD or construction phase thereof, the CPDC finds that either the Developer has failed to begin develop- 9 ment within the specified time period, including any ap- proved extension period, or that the Developer is not proceeding in conformity with the Special Permit, then the CPDC may, after 60 days from written notice (and any addi- tional period which the CPDC may deem necessary so as to provide the Developer reasonable opportunity to cure any deficiencies), revoke the Special Permit as it applies to the phase of construction at issue, and/or require that the Developer amend the Final PUD Plan subject to procedures specified in the Amendments to Final PUD Plan, Section 4.9.3.13. If the CPDC revokes the Special Permit for the PUD then the Final PUD Plan shall be null and void as it ap- plies to the phase of construction at issue and all sub- sequent phases which depend upon said phase for their con- struction and operation in conformance with the Final PUD Plan. The provisions of this paragraph are additional to the Reading Btti~d~rg--~__*±rLe Zoning Enforcement officer's powers of enforcement under the Zoning Bylaws and Massaehusetts-State-Build}ng-eede. 7.1.1. The Inspector of Buildings or Zoning Enforcement officer as appropriate shall require of every applicant for a license or permit for any construction, alteration or use of any building, structure or premises, for which a' permit or license is by law required, such written information, plans, specifications and other data as he shall deem neces- sary for the full and accurate exposition of the proposed construction, alteration or use, with relation to the requirements of this By-law. Such material, so required, shall be kept on file in the records of the officer or of- ficers to whom it is submitted. 7.1.1.1. Whenever an application is made for a building permit which the Building Inspector or Zoning Enforcement officer as appropriate believes may be affected by an Over- lay District boundary, the Inspector shall require the ap- plicant to provide as part of such application a plan, cer- tified by a registered land surveyor, of the lot on which such building is intended to be built showing the exact location of the district boundary. Such plan shall not be required where a permit is applied for solely for interior work. 7.1.2. No building erected, materially altered, relocated or in any way changed as to the construction or use under a permit or otherwise, and no land, shall be occupied or used without an occupancy permit signed by the Inspector of Buildings or Zoning Enforcement Officer as appropriate, which permit shall not be issued until the building and its use and accessory uses, and the use of all land, comply in all respects with this By-law. 10 7.2.2. Whoever violates any provision of this By-law shall be ( punished by a fine not exceeding three hundred ($100.00) dollars for each offense and each day that such a violation continues shall constitute a separate offense. Upon any well-founded information that this By-law is being violated, or upon his own initiative, the Bitirl-&!"-Enapeeter Zoning Enforcement officer shall take immediate steps to enforce this By-law, including making complaint in the Fourth Dis- trict Court of Eastern Middlesex held at Woburn. 7.2.3. If the n-ding-3~er Zoning Enforcement Officer is requested in writing to enforce the provisions of this By- law against any person allegedly in violation of this By-law and the 3-e~i-rrg-3-ne~ta~ Zoning Enforcement officer declines to act, he shall notify, in writing, the party requesting such enforcement of any action or refusal to act, and the reasons therefor, within fourteen (14) days of receipt of such request. ARTICLE 12 To see if the Town will vote to amend the General Bylaws of the Town by deleting Section 4.6.1 thereof relating to the disposal of surplus property and substituting therefor the following, or take any other action with respect thereto: 4.6.1 Whenever an item or collection of items of tangible personal property with an estimated net value of less than Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) within the control of an of- ficial body, but excluding the Municipal Light Board, shall be determined by that official body to be surplus, obsolete, salvage or beyond repair, it may be disposed of by sale, trade or otherwise, by the Town Manager with the approval of the Finance Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an item or collection of items of tangible personal property with an estimated net value of less than Five Thousand Dol- lars ($5,000.00) no longer useful to the Town but having resale or salvage value may be disposed of at less than fair market value to a charitable organization which has received a tax exemption from the United States by reason of its charitable nature by the Town Manager with the approval of the Finance Committee and without any further Town Meeting action. " Board of Selectmen Background Surplus Property Bylaw - The State Uniform Procurement Act went into effect in May 1990, and regulates a number of issues including the disposition of surplus goods. The proposed Bylaw would implement the relevant portions of the ( j State law, and would permit the disposition of surplus goods to charitable organizations serving Reading. A similar ar- 11 ticle was considered in the Fall of 1990, but was in- definitely postponed when the Bylaw Committee felt that it should be done as a Bylaw, and not just by a motion. It should be noted that the Town Bylaw previously gave Fincom the authority to approve disposition of surplus good with a value of up to $5000. The proposed Bylaw returns this to a value of $500 in accordance with the new law. By-Law Committee Report Recommend 4-0-0 Finance Committee Report Recommend 7-0-0 ARTICLE 13 To see if the Town will vote to accept the provi- sions of Chapter 291 of the Acts of 1990 relating to enhanced 911 service, or take any other action with respect thereto. Board of Selectmen Background Ch. 291 - Enhanced 911 Service - This article would accept the relevant portions of State law which permit the E911 telephone system for Police, Fire, and Ambulance services to be installed in Town. By law, the Town has until December 1991 to accept the provisions of the law, and to agree to have E911 installed without cost to the Town. After that time it could still be installed, but the Town would have to pay. E911 is a program that allows a resident to dial 911 for emergency services, and even if the person is not able to talk, the central dispatcher will still be able to deter- mine the address of the caller and to respond immediately. The changes will also considerably enhance telephone service to handicapped individuals. The Town's public safety com- munications system is set up to be able to accept the in- stallation of E911 simply, and both the Police and Fire Chiefs strongly recommend this article. Installation by communities would take place on a first come, first served basis, and with the adoption of this article we will be well positioned to get installation as quickly as possible. The cost of installing E911 is to be borne by the telephone com- pany, and the phone company will also be permitted to change its charges for directory assistance in order to pay for E911. It is our understanding that if a household does not want to be in the E911 system, they can request to be left out of the system. By-Law Committee Report Recommend 4-0-0 The Committee feels acceptance of this Chapter provides a very beneficial public safety feature. Finance Committee Report No Report 12 ARTICLE 14 To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Board of Selectmen and/or the Municipal Light Board to terminate, convey or abandon certain existing rights of vehicular and pedestrian access, as depicted on the Plan entitled "Plan of Land in Reading, Massachusetts owned by Gerald F.

Easement B and the Adjacent Properties are depicted on a plan entitled: "Easement Plan of Land in Reading, Mas- sachusetts, prepared for Reading Municipal Light Depart- ment, scale 30 feet to an inch - January 2, 1991," prepared by Robert E. Anderson. Reading Municipal Light Department Background RMLD Easements - This article is requested by the RMLD, and will allow the new facility on Ash Street to operate in an efficient manner with the least disruption to the neighbor- hood. The plan has been reviewed by the Community Planning and Development commission, and has been approved by them. The plan basically consolidates access easements to the properties to the rear of the facility, and moves the ease- ments to a location where they will have the least negative impact on the -adjacent residential community. The chairman of the Land Bank Committee has also endorsed the plan. This requires a 2/3 vote of Town Meeting. (see appendix) By-Law.Committee Report No Report Finance Committee.Report No Report 13 `1 ARTICLE 15 To see if the Town will vote to authorize the ap- propriation and expenditure from time to time and without further Town Meeting action of monies relating to all fiscal years prior to Fiscal Year 1992 distributed or to be distributed to the Town pursuant to General Laws Chapter 90, Section 34(2)(a) for main- taining, repairing, improving and constructing Town ways and for any other purposes for which said funds may be expended under said Chapter 90, and to authorize the Town to file all applica- tions for said funds and to enter into all contracts or agree- ments as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this Ar- ticle, or take any other action with respect thereto. Board of Selectmen Background Chapter 90 Funds - Article 15 authorizes expenditure of $474,071 in current and previously authorized Chapter 90 state grants for street reconstruction. The uses of these funds are limited to reconstruction projects, and cannot be used for on-going maintenance. The Town's street reconstruction program calls for the completion of the reconstruction of Haverhill street from Charles Street north to North Reading as the highest priority project (estimated cost of $250,000 including sidewalks on one side), followed by the reconstruction of South Street from Main to Walnut (estimated cost of $225,000 with sidewalks on one side). The Haverhill Street project will be ready to go to bid on July 1, 1991, and the South Street project will be going to a hearing this year, with construction next year. Sidewalks are a permitted expenditure as long as they are associated with a street reconstruction project, but the money cannot be used only for sidewalk construction. The inclusion of sidewalks as part of these projects is necessitated by the elimination of school busing. Future projects to be funded from Chapter 90 moneys may include upper Pearl Street (Main to Franklin), and Charles Street. Specific authorization from Town meeting will be sought on an annual basis for any future Chapter 90 street reconstruction projects. By-Law Committee Report No Report Finance Committee Report Recommend 7-0-0 ARTICLE 16 To see if the Town will vote to amend the General Bylaws of the Town to change the dates for Annual Town Meeting by deleting the phrase "third Monday preceding the second Monday" in Section 2.1.1 thereof and substituting therefor the phrase "fifth Tuesday preceding the fourth Monday" and by deleting the word "second" in Section 2.1.3 and substituting therefor the word "fourth" so that said Articles 2.1..1 and 2.1.3 shall read as follows, or take any other action with respect thereto: it 2.1.1 The Annual Town Meeting shall be held on the fifth Tuesday preceding the fourth Monday in April of each year for the election of Town Officers and for such other matters as required by law to be determined by ballot. 14 2.1.3 All business of the Annual Town Meeting, except the election of such Town officers and the determination of such matters as required by law to be elected or determined by ballot, shall be considered at an adjournment of such meeting to be held at 7:30 p.m. on the fourth Monday in April, except if this day shall fall on a legal holiday, in which case the meeting shall be held on the following day or at a further adjournment thereof." Board of Selectmen Background Town Meeting Dates Bylaw - This article would accomplish two things: It would move the beginning date of the Annual Town Meeting back two weeks - i.e. two weeks later.- The effect of this change will be to give the Town, and the Finance Committee two extra weeks to develop the budget. In these times of fiscal uncertainty, this additional time would be most help- ful. If this change is not adopted, the budget could be placed at the end of the warrant under the current Town Meeting schedule, but additional mailing costs would be in- curred in order to mail the budget separately from the rest of the Warrant. Further, moving the schedule will ensure that school vacations and all spring religious and secular holidays are avoided. The second change would be to have the election on a Tuesday instead of a Monday. There are two reasons for this sug- gestion. First, elections in the United States are histori- cally on a Tuesday. Second, having the election on a Tues- day ties up the polling places for less time (Monday after school through Wednesday before school), rather than Friday afternoon through Tuesday morning. The Town Clerk has sug- gested this change. By-Law Committee Report Recommend 4-0-0 The Bylaw Committee feels the additional two weeks between elections and Town Meeting is beneficial for: Budget Review 121 Committee review of articles and _(3) _ Orientation of newly elected board members and chairmen. r--7 1.L- m...... -1- -1 _-4- 4 rimer: ; er.r.~r1-In n 4-rtr i-n 4 r~- Finance Committee Report Recommend 5-2-0 ARTICLE 17 To see what sum the Town will raise by borrowing or from the tax levy or transfer from available funds or other- wise and appropriate for the purpose of purchasing a Fire Depart- ment ladder truck; such appropriation to include all costs of ac- quiring, preparing, and originally equipping the fire truck as required to complete the purpose of this article, all monies to be expended under the direction of the Board of Selectmen, or take any other action with respect thereto. Board of Selectmen Background Purchase Ladder Truck - The vehicle in need of replacement 15 is a 1965 American LaFrance 85' tractor-tiller aerial. Cost new was $65,000. In 1981 it was refurbished with a new trac- tor at a cost of $110,000. This is a two driver vehicle. We propose to replace it with a straight 110' rear mount aerial-single driver vehicle at an approximate cost of $395,000. This is the second year for this request. At the time that the Ladder Truck was refurbished in 1981 consideration was given to making a new purchase. The deci- sion to refurbish was made to buy time and save money. The economy of that decision is questionable. The full life ex- pectancy of any piece of fire apparatus is twenty years with the last five to ten years considered as spare or reserve time. The trailer of this unit is twenty-six years old. We had it tested last year and the ladder was found to be structurally safe but operationally deficient. The deficiencies were due to wear and tear and old age. A major problem is that when specialized parts need replac- ing spare parts are out of manufacture and not available. The original company has been out of business for years. We now have to order parts specially made at exorbitant costs and wait sometimes for months to make repairs. We continue to experience problems with the tiller steering mechanism. These components have been rebuilt and replaced three times in the last ten years. The last repair cost over $4000 and the truck was down for six weeks. This is an extremely un- safe condition. The 85' aerial is undersized for our needs and being a two operator tractor trailer is truly a dinosaur by modern standards. With the staff reductions caused by budget cuts we have had the truck out of service approximately 70% of the time since July 1, 1990. Contractual agreements specify two firefighters assigned to the truck - of course you have to have two in order to drive it. The replacement vehicle would only require one man to drive it and contractual obligations aside, in an emergency situation with a need for this vehicle we could almost guarantee at least having a person available to bring.it to the scene. With the present staffing levels and even projecting further cuts, we would still have the availability of a ladder truck more than we do now. By-Law Committee Report No Report Finance Committee Report Recommend 7-0-0 ARTICLE 18 To see what sum the Town will raise by borrowing or from the tax levy or transfer from available funds or other- wise and appropriate for the purpose of purchasing a Fire Depart- ment ambulance; such appropriation to include all costs of ac- quiring, preparing, and originally equipping the ambulance as required to complete the purpose of this article, all monies to be expended under the direction of the Board of Selectmen, or take any other action with respect thereto. Board of Selectmen 16 Background Purchase Ambulance - The vehicle in need of replacement is ' our spare ambulance, a 1976 Modulance. It was in an accident in 1981 and the body was re-mounted on a 1982 Chevrolet chassis. The ambulance cost new $30,000. The 1981 refurbish- ment cost $40,000. This unit is in extremely poor condition. It has served as a back-up since 1987. We are proposing to reduce our present first line ambulance to back-up status. That unit is a 1986 Frontline on a Ford chassis. New cost was $60,000. It presently has 50,000 miles on the odometer and is showing signs of age and wear. In better times a case could be made to run two ambulances instead of one. Last year we did over 1200 ambulance runs. We needed a mutual aid ambulance more than 150 times. Our emergency E.M.S. calls outnumber emergency fire calls by a ratio of 10 - 1. It is extremely important for us to have a reliable spare ambulance. The ambulance is very busy and it does require repairs and preventive maintenance. Mutual Aid does help us but there is never a guarantee of availability. Both of our ambulances are inspected by the State every two years and are due to be inspected in July 1991. There is no doubt that the 1976 Modulance will fail the inspection. It only barely passed the last time and that was because we had a generous inspector. Our spare ambulance is now so unreli- able and unsafe that we hesitate to use it therefore that puts a greater burden on our first line piece. Our primary ambulance will be five years old and has 50,000 tough miles on it. Experience tells us that more repetitive problems and failures especially in the complex electrical systems begin to set in at this point in time. Our spare ambulance was run well beyond that and by 1986 had been run into the ground. Unless we purchase a new ambulance this year we will not have a backup. As our primary ambulance becomes less reli- able or is out of service for repairs, (preventive main- tenance would be nearly non-existent) and mutual aid was not available we would not be able to respond to a request for an ambulance. That scenario is unacceptable. Over the last five years we have made E.M.S. (Emergency Medical Service) a priority and rightly so. The need has been demonstrated. The demands on this service continue to increase. The ambulance is the single most important and the busiest emergency vehicle in the Town. The ambulance does generate income and the fees for one year would ap- proximate the cost of a new vehicle. Personnel assigned are on- duty firefighters essentially performing double duty. Since the ambulance arrived in the Fire Department in 1973 there has been a reduction of thirteen firefighter posi- tions. The only real demonstrated cost of operating an am- bulance service has been the vehicle and equipment costs which the budget has really not adequately kept up with. This is the first request for this item. It had been on the capital plan for FY92. Due to the continuing increase in E.M.S. calls, the signs of beginning mechanical and electri- cal problems with our primary ambulance and the condition of t our spare piece, we have moved this up to FY 91 as a 17 priority. A new ambulance fully equipped and similar to our present ambulance is approximately $85,000.

Board of Selectmen Background Water Supply Bylaw - The Commonwealth of Massachusetts 18 Department of Environmental Protection requires a Bylaw to establish-the procedures for dealing with a water state of emergency. The last time we has such an emergency was in the summer of 1989, and the Board of Selectmen established procedures at that time. This Bylaw makes the establishment of those procedures enforceable, and establishes the mechanism for promulgating the regulations to give maximum notice to the public. By-Law Committee Report Recommend 4-0-0 This bylaw provides a local mechanism for the Town to en- force a DEP water emergency plan.

Board of Selectmen Background Street Acceptances - Articles 23 through 33 - Attached is the material reviewed by the Board of Selectmen prior to their hearing on these street acceptances. The Board recom- mended articles 23 through 29, and 31 through 33 by a vote of 5-0-0, and article 30 by a vote of 4-1-0. There is no betterment to be charged for these streets. They are all streets newly constructed by developers, and need no improvements. The total cost of the acceptances is the filing fees and Land Court costs of $1000, and these i fees would be shared by 89 property owners, resulting in an average betterment of $11.25 per household. The revenue to 21 be generated would be less than the expense of setting up the betterment cards and sending out the bills. Therefore the $1000 in costs has been included in the Department of Public Works, Engineering, Non-personal Expenses line item 76 in the Budget. Article 30, the acceptance of Grey Coach Lane has generated some concern. Initially there was an issue over the type of street lights to be installed. The developer and the new residents had wanted decorative colonial lantern types of lights. This type of fixture is not a standard fixture of the RMLD, and the costs would have been extra. The conven- tional type of lighting has been installed with underground wiring. More recently, one of the abutters has raised a concern about a drainage problem. CPDC has reviewed the matter and has determined that it is a private matter be- tween the abutter and the developer not creating a concern for the Town in terms of accepting the street.

Nigro SELECTMEN OF READING r 28 Reading Town Meeting April 8, 1991 Warrant Article Number 14 March 21, 1991 Town Meeting Members Town of Reading Municipal Building 16 Lowell Street Reading, Massachusetts 01867 Dear Town Meeting Members; The Municipal Light Department is requesting permission from Town Meeting Under Article Number 14 to establish a twenty five (25) foot wide by approximately six hundred and thirty (630) foot long right- of-way easement over existing Town of Reading Municipal . Light Department property located on Ash Street and identified as lot numbers three (3), four (4) and five (5) on Assessors map number forty four (44). The Department is also requesting permission under Article Number 14 to accept the abandonment of the right-of-way easement for vehicle traffic only (utility easements would be retained) over lot number 18 Assessors Map number forty four (44) on Ash Street, property which the Department presently has under agreement, and which directly abuts the Department's existing property. The property is presently owned by Ash Street Realty Trust. These requests are being made pursuant to G. L. c.40, Sections 3, 15 and 15A. The proposed new Right-of-Way, and the existing Right-of-Way which the Department proposes to be abandoned are depicted on the Parking Plan and Easement Plan- Attachments 1 and 2. page 1 of 2 ..Q Abandoning the Right-of-Way on lot 18 and establishing a new Right-of-Way over lots 3, 4, and 5 also requires agreement among all parties who have rights to the existing easement over lot 18. Rights to the easement are granted to Thomas Leonard, Trustee of E T Realty Trust, Ernest G. Babcock, Clifton P. Englund, Herbert C. Miesfeldt- and Janice Pendergast. These entities and persons own adjoining property to the east and southeast of lots 3, 4 and 5. The affected rights of way provide access to such adjoining property. The change in easements, which is the subject of the warrant article, is conditioned on the Department's completion of the purchase of lot 18. These plans and the new right of way configuration have received approval from the Community Planning and Development Commission (CPDC). Town Meeting approved the Bonding for the expansion of the Light Department Facilities in April 1990 which expansion contemplates the purchase of lot 18. The change in easements (which are the subject of the warrant article) will allow safe access to all affected properties, permit the best use of the Department's combined parcels (i.e., lots 3, 4, 5 and. 18 following its acquisition) and eliminate vehicle traffic on the existing right-of-way. Employee parking will be provided at the rear adjacent to the right- of-way with walk-lights at the crosswalks to provide safety entering and exiting the facility.

The reason for this is that the budget that was prepared by all departments was for a revenue projection that included level funded State Aid and other revenue items. Recently, the Massachusetts Department of Revenue furnished a bulletin notifying all cities and towns of the projection of State Aid that is in the Governors budget. This reduces the level funding by a net amount of $280,739 of revenue. There is some risk in this amount. Funding of $283,242 from the Highway fund ($0 this fiscal year) and an increase of $234,035 (a 27% increase) in Lottery distribution are included. Another area of concern is the inclusion of a new assessment for Retired Teachers Pensions in this bulletin. We were advised that Reading's.assessment could be $130,859. This has not been included in this budget because it would require unpopular legislation to be passed, however it is a concern because it may be passed or if the State funds this they could further reduce State Aid. In addition, a current review of projections of revenue from other sources caused a reduction of $159,000. These other areas were Interest Earnings, Fines, and Charges for Services. The Selectmen have agreed to impose a trash fee to fund the increase of $486,000 for the Resco improvements if this is the will of Town Meeting. The amount raised by that fee would offset the revenue shortfall that is needed to fund the budget that you are now presented. If the trash fee is not passed then a new budget will need to be prepared and reviewed. For this reason, the trash fee is expected to be the first item brought before Town Meeting. Much time and effort have gone into preparing, reviewing, and trying to support all line items of this budget by employees and volunteers. The available revenue is less than FY91 even if we have a trash fee. The Municipal and School sides of Town Government have been working together to combine functions such as Custodians, Accounting and Finance, etc. This has saved some money. The Finance Committee has reviewed all line items of this budget and have had 12 meetings during February and March. We have made reductions to some lines, but with the limited revenues available, budgets were prepared that already reduced items that we would have. Some items that we reduced were Capital items that we are only deferring. There are no salary increases projected in this budget with the exception of a small amount that the School's are contractually required to pay. Almost all union contracts expire June 30, 1991. 48 The following is a comparison of the revenues and expenses: Revenue (000's) Updated Current Increase FY9.1., FY92. (_Dec_rease ) Property Taxes $18,932 $19,620 $ 688 other Local Revenues 3,180 3,058 (122) State Aid 5,383 5,104 (279) Operating Transfers 132 130 ( 2} Abatement Surplus 192 166 ( 26) Free Cash 848 666 (182) Light Department 1,250 1,350 100 Sale of Real Estate 1,300 566 (734) Trash Fee 0 486 486 Total Revenue $31,217 $31,146 $ ( 71) As you can see, a number of areas of revenue are down, such as State Aid, Free Cash, and Sale of Real Estate funds. As previously noted State Aid is still officially unknown and other projections of revenue, such as Excise Taxes and Charges for Services, are at risk. We think a note of caution should be given for future years before we finish this budget. The only reason we have $666,000 of Free Cash available is because we received the State Aid withheld for FY90 at the end of that fiscal year after expense reductions were made. Do not expect that again. We are using all of the Sale of Real Estate funds for balancing this FY92 budget. Future years will not have this revenue source until we replenish this Fund.

If a Town Meeting member wishes to amend a line item by adding money to it, then, we need to know where the money will come from. The Finance Committee wishes to acknowledge the hard work and high level of cooperation of all the employees and volunteers who worked so hard to prepare and present this balanced budget tow s. The Reading Finance Committee Willard J. Burditt, Chairman Elizabeth Greene, Vice Chairman Nicholas Agneta Richard Coco Harvey Dahl Gerald MacDonald George McWilliams Frederick VanMagness Nathan White so FY 92 BUDGET MESSAGE TOWN OF READING, MASSACHUSETTS Each year in the annual budget message, I outline what 'a dif- ficult budget process it has been. All the past years pale in comparison to the budgeting problems of FY 92. Yet with the help and cooperation of the Board of Selectmen, the School Committee, the Finance Committee, and the Town and School staff, I am presenting to you a FY 92 budget that, while drastic in its ef- fect on services to the community, is a fair and reasonable budget given the circumstances. The Town's annual budget is the major policy statement as to what the community is, and what services it will offer. It estab- lishes priorities, allocates the very scarce funds that are available, and establishes future directions. A number of recent events have had a role in developing this budget. On the posi- tive side, Reading continues to be a community of intense caring, as evidenced by the following: The development of Imagination Station, an adventure playground developed in the Birch Meadow area, was an all volunteer effort. Not only did residents and businesses donate over $60,000 in money and services, but they also donated thousands of hours of time in developing this facility. With the assistance of the Department of Public Works, a number of service clubs, businesses, and individuals par- ticipated in the "adopt an island" program that has resulted in the landscaping and care of over one dozen traffic is- lands and other public sites in Reading. The Town's senior citizen van was wearing out and becoming undependable. There were no funds in the budget to buy a new van, but again service clubs, businesses, and in- dividuals donated almost $30,000 and the van was delivered in the fall of 1990. In the aftermath of the defeat of the Proposition 2 1/2 override, a group of citizens formed the 80-10-10 group to help offset the impact of the reductions in funding for lo- cal services. The group raised over $40,000 in a few short weeks and donated the money to the schools for art programs, to the Division of Elder Services for the Shopping Assis- tance program, and to the Library for additions to the col- lection. When the Persian Gulf war started, a group of local families of service men and women was formed to develop support for families and service personnel. The yellow ribbons helped to focus that support, and help the community to remember those in the armed services. There are many more examples of the manner in which this is a caring and giving community, in addition to the now routine support for the Fund for the Common, Garden Club 51 landscaping at the Library, band and athletics groups, and the many civic organizations that receive and give support to the Town and its citizens. Residents of Reading have implemented a trash recycling program whose success has been beyond expectations. This is evidence of the very real concern that residents of this community have for their Town and the environment. At the same time that these positive efforts were taking place, there have been a number of setbacks for this community, and indeed for the State and Nation in the past several months: As work on this budget was started, the United States began to prepare for war, and indeed during the process of developing and reviewing this budget the nation and its allies successfully entered and ended the Persian Gulf war. The impact on Reading was enormous, not only in terms of the number of residents and employees activated during the con- flict, but also in the attention that the war took from other matters. The Northeastern part of the United States has, more seriously than other parts of the country, entered a reces- sion. The impact is severe, with unemployment in Mas- sachusetts at nearly 10%. The effect has touched everyone. Those lucky enough to be employed are having hours, wages, and benefits reduced. Layoffs have occurred in nearly all of the large employers in the area, making jobs a number one (concern of most residents. Twice during the past year the residents of Reading have been asked to override proposition 2 1/2 to provide more funding for schools and local government, and to renovate and expand two elementary schools. Twice, the residents of Reading by an overwhelming vote, said no. The reasons people voted the way they did are varied, but the result is the same. The most direct negative impact on Reading in recent years is the chaos in state government. Voters came out in record numbers in November to vote for a new Governor and many new legislators. They also voted on a number of questions in- cluding referenda which expressed residents belief that tax dollars are more effectively spent on local government than on State government. The new Governor and the State Legis- lature have before them the task of reducing a mammoth State budget deficit over the next 18 months, and part of that program is to reduce aid to Cities and Towns, and to impose new costs at the same time. These events, and others over the past several months, have set the stage for this budget. BUDGET GUIDELINES At the beginning of the budget process, the Town Manager, Super- intendent of Schools, The Finance Committee, The Board of Selectmen, and the School Committee met to review with the Town's 52 financial staff to review projected revenues and fixed expenses. This resulted in budget guidelines to reduce all budgets by 3.2% from FY91 levels. The initial budgets submitted by the Depart- ments and reviewed by the Departments were based on those guidelines. Priorities were established prior to the Town manager's review. The areas of priority are: Public Safety, including Police, Fire, and Emergence Medical Services; Public Education, represented by the School Department and Vocational Education budgets; Continued maintenance of a strong financial structure repre- sented by the Town Accountant and Finance Departments. As budgets were reviewed, modifications were made based on these priorities, and these priorities are represented in the budget submitted by the Town Manager to the Board of Selectmen, and the budget finally submitted by the Town Manager to the Finance Com- mittee for their exhaustive review. REVENUE In modern times municipal budgets are built based on revenues available, not on actual need. The revenue projection are based on realistic but conservative estimates. The total revenues available to the Town are projected to decrease by .2% or $70,000. This reduction exists even with a $486,000 trash fee which has been developed to offset a similar amount of trash dis- posal increase this year. If there were no trash fee, revenues would be down by 1.6%. In fact, the only revenues projected to increase are: Property tax revenue by 3.6%, and earnings dis- tribution from the Municipal Light Department by 8%. The reduction in all revenues is primarily due to the poor economy. State aid is reduced in an effort to balance the State budget. Excise tax revenue is level because many people are not buying new cars. Charges for services revenues are down in spite of a significant increase in the fee schedule because there is little new construction. Fine revenue is down because the Town has had to lay off five Police Officers in the past year. Sale of Real Estate funds are depleted because the poor real estate market has not allowed some of our proposed real.estate sales to proceed as planned. Town Meeting needs to be aware as we consider this budget that many of the funding sources being used are at their limit. We will carry.a Free cash balance into next year of about $150,000. There will be some replenishment of free cash, but a budgets get tighter and more accurate, there is less Free Cash generated. Additionally, the FY92 budget uses all remaining balances in the Sale of Real Estate accounts. We have a couple of sales pending, but until the economy improves the completion of those sales ap- pears unlikely. It is my recommendation as Town Manager that, when the economy improves again and additional revenues become available, the Town invest as much of these new revenues in the capital plant of the 53 Town which has become neglected. We will have established a new base level of service with the FY92 budget, a lower base than we have been used to. Rather than re-establishing all services in better times, the Town would be better positioned to meet future budget crises and economic downturns. Meanwhile, we all need to become more self sufficient, whether that means no longer relying on the Town to plow sidewalks and remove snow from the Square, or students helping to keep the school rooms clean. This community has undertaken such efforts in the past, and we can do it again. GENERAL COMMENTS The budget as proposed is very basic. There will be a reduction of services in virtually every area of Town government and in the Schools. Every attempt has been made to reduce the negative im- pact of these changes on the public. In addition we have used this budget crisis to effectuate some economies of operation that might not otherwise have been possible. The budgets reflect a newly implemented and negotiated Health Insurance program for employees and retirees; a zero salary increase for all Town and School employees except for members of two School bargaining units that have a year left on their contracts; the installation of a new Centrex telephone system which will lower phone bills and improve customer service; the consolidation of much of the business services of the School Department with Town business services; the consolidation of the supervision of the building maintenance functions of the Town and the School Departments; the implementation for the full year of the Recreation Revolving fund; and full cost accounting of the Town's two enterprise sys- tems - Water and Sewer. Detailed explanations of each budget are included with the budget material. Accounting Department. This contains the accounting and auditing function of the Town, and the budget reflects an increase in clerical hours and a shar- ing of a junior level person with the Finance Department to be able to handle the business functions of Accounts Payable, Payroll, and benefits management functions of the School Depart- ment. Community Development Department The proposed budget includes a reduction in the clerical support from full time to 30 hours per week. Operational efficiencies in the telephone system and in fee collection will partially offset the reduction, but there will be a significant loss of effective customer service. The Board of Selectmen has authorized us to look at regionalizing all or portions of this Department and fur- ther reduce expenses. There is considerable interest in this concept by some neighboring communities, but no specific plan is in place yet. Finance Department This Department remains at FY91 staff levels, except for the ad- dition of clerical staff hours to assume the School business operations, and the addition of a shared (with the Accounting Department) junior level person to help with data processing needs related to the School business functions. 54 General Services Department The Department of General services has three major changes in FY92: an 18 hour/week position is added to do the Workers Comp., Unemployment, and other personnel related functions for the Town C and School Departments; all phone expenses for the Town depart- ments are included in line 44 as part of the change in the phone system, and at an overall savings of about $12,000; and all professional development funds and dues and memberships for Town Departments are included in line 36. Human Services The major changes in this department are: to reflect the actual reduction in hours of the senior van driver which are possible because of a more efficient scheduling program; an elimination of all but the basic administrative expenses for Recreation from the municipal budget by placing all the programs in the revolving fund (which will generate enough surplus to "pay the Town back" for even the administrative expenses); to restore the dead animal pick-up program which was eliminated from the FY91 budget; and to increase the Veterans aid (line 50) to reflect actual ex- penditures. Library The Library will reduce administrative staff by cutting the Tech- nical Services Division head position. There will be a reduction in hours that the Library is open. Additionally some changes in administrative operations such as fines, borrowing periods, and availability of the card catalogue are being considered. Public Safety - Police The Police Department will maintain the level of the force in ex- istence in FY91. A retired officer will be replaced. A position for an additional Lieutenant has been eliminated, and the number of Patrol Officers has been increased by one. The overtime has been reduced by 8%. Animal control has not changed from the cur- rent half time situation. Public Safety - Fire The number of fire-fighters has been reduced by 1 through the retirement of a firefighter who was injured on duty several years ago. Therefore the effective fire fighting force has not been reduced from FY91 levels. A new ladder truck will make the firefighting force more effective with the limited staffing, and the new ambulance is essential to continued operation of the Emergency Medical Management system. The former separate Emer- gency Management line items are included in the Fire Department budget. Public Safety - Dispatch The central dispatch operation started in May 1990, and has generally proven to be effective. It has caused some problems, as will any new procedure, but the cooperation of the Police and Fire Departments will resolve and such problems. The central dispatch operation is an essential part of the E911 system being proposed. Completion of the full staffing of this operation is C the highest public safety priority, but this is not proposed for FY92. 55 Public Works - Building Maintenance The supervisors position in this Division has been eliminated, and the School Building Maintenance Supervisor will supervise maintenance of the Town buildings. We will explore this year the possibility of fully integrating the Building Maintenance func- tions for the following year. Public Works - Engineering There are no additional changes, except that the Street Better- ments appear as a $1000 expense item to avoid assessing an average betterment of less than $15, and the administrative ex- pense that assessing betterments entails. A portion of the salaries are charged to the Water and Sewer budgets reflecting work effort by the Division on water and Sewer issues. Public Works - Administration All Administrative salaries of the Department are included in this budget. A portion of the salaries are charged to the Water and Sewer Divisions, based on work performed by the general ad- ministrative staff for the utility enterprise systems. Public Works - Highway There are no changes in the operation of this division from FY91 levels. The service provided is not adequate, but is the best that the staff can do. Public Works - Street Lighting The Town is in the process of eliminating 5% of the street lights to save FY91 dollars. Further level funding of this line will further reduce street lights to an unacceptable level. Public Works - Rubbish Collection/Disposal This budget reflects the same level of disposal and recycling as was implemented in FY91. Recycling is very successful, and total tonnage is being reduced. The dramatic increase in cost is Reading's share of the State ordered retrofiting of the trash plant in Saugus. Reading is contesting this "pass through" cost in court, but at the present time this is a contractual obliga- tion of the-Town. Even considering the cost, Reading's total rubbish disposal costs of about $78/ton are not uncommon in this area of the State. Public Works - Parks and Forestry There is no change in the operation of this Division, which is a consolidation of two previously separate Divisions under the same supervisor. The Board of Selectmen has returned a basic level of funding for turf maintenance to preserve the turf quality in our parks. Public Works - Equipment Maintenance A portion of this budget,is being charged to the Water and Sewer enterprise accounts, because the Division maintains all the equipment. Fuel costs are level funded, and without more help some of the equipment is not being repaired in a timely manner. 56 Public Works - Snow & Ice There is no change from FY91 Public Works - Cemetery The Cemetery Division continues to do an excellent job on main- tenance of its three cemeteries. Continued development of the Charles Lawn Cemetery will be done using funds encumbered for that purpose. School Department Extensive efforts are being made to save money through the con- solidation of some functions with the Town. Detailed information on the School budget is included in their section of the yellow budget pages. Northeast Regional The Regional Vocational School in Wakefield educates 29 Reading students. The total enrollment is declining 11%, and the Finance committee has chosen to level fund the budget, which would be $10,000 less than requested. At least 8 of the 12 communities in the District need to approve the budget for it to go into effect. Debt Service See the detailed sheets and the debt service schedule at the end of the blue section of this book for details. Employee Benefits The Town has begun a process of self funding its unfunded pension liability. The sharing between the Enterprise accounts and the Town is actuarially determined. The Non-Contributory Retirement program is limited as to membership, and we do not expect any new enrollees. The two person increase this year should be the last increase. Unemployment is based on the anticipated level of positions to be eliminated next year, and for which transfers are not likely. The Group Health/Life insurance is a contractual ex- pense, and reflects the cost of the new program which was put in place last fall. A new Federal law brings all non pension eligible employees into the Social Security system, and the in- crease reflects the Town's contribution. Workers Compensation is self funded by the Town, and the previously funded trust fund has been depleted. Costs of the "old cases" continue, and new cases also occur. State and County Assessments The assessments are an estimate at this time, and pay the Town's share of the MBTA, Metropolitan Area Planning Council, County government, and sundry miscellaneous regional assessments. If the Town were not to pay these assessments, the State would deduct them from our State Aid payments. Water The Town's water treatment plant improvements will be going "on line" this spring, and the second phase is scheduled for this summer. The cost of Reading water continues to be high, but rates have been able to be reduced slightly over the past several years due to declining debt service, improved treatment and delivery, and improved metering. The water continues to be care- 57 fully monitored and tested, and meets all State and Federal guidelines, except that the sodium content is higher than State levels. Sewer , The major increase in the sewer budget is the MWRA expense for treatment, and for the clean-up of Boston Harbor. Town expenses have been reduced through reduction in staff, declining debt service, and all other efficiencies we can develop. The MWRA budget is not finally adopted,.so the assessment could go down slightly before the rates are set. Peter I.

It works closely with almost all other Town departments in these areas, with appropriate State agencies, and with neighbor- ing Towns and Cities on both a one-to-one basis and a regional basis. The Department provides direct support to the Community Planning and Development Commission, the Zoning Board of Appeals, and the Conservation Commission, all of which are required by State Law and all of which perform many critical tasks mandated by State Law and local by-laws. It also provides support to the Histori- cal Commission and the Land Bank. Almost all of the principal duties performed by this Department are statutorily required of local government--Planning, Zoning, Subdivision and Site Plan Review, Conservation, and Inspections. The Department currently consists of 5.2 full-time-equivalent staff members: full-time Town Planner/Community Development Director, Conservation Administrator, and Building Inspector; and two part-time Principal Clerks, a part-time Wire Inspector, a part-time Plumbing and Gas Inspector, and a part-time Zoning Board of Appeals Recording Secretary. Because of extensive efforts to coordinate and streamline. opera- tions, the Department has been able to continue its work generally unabated in Fiscal Year 1991 despite having sustained a 17.2% reduction from its Fiscal Year 1990 budget. The proposed Fiscal Year 1992 budget has been devised to meet a directive to reduce- the budget by at least an additional 3.20 relative to Fiscal Year 1991 in a manner least disruptive to providing essential, mandated services, and to reflect changes in activity levels currently taking place in the economy. Such changes particularly affect the level of, and fee-revenues from, construction. It is proposed herein that Wire and Plumbing/Gas Inspections each be reduced from 20 hours per week to 18 hours per week, and that Clerical support be reduced from a total of 40 hours per week to 30.5 hours per week. The Clerical reduction proposed is not desirable and cannot be sustained permanently, but will have to suffice until the overall budget picture is improved. It will reduce effectiveness and timeliness with performing such clerical functions as necessary paper-work, correspondence, meeting packages, legal notices, filing, and accounting. However, some mitigation measures may be 69 Line Items 3 - 4 ( TOWN OF READING FY - 1992 BUDGET DEPARTMENT: Community Development BUDGET SUMMARY (FORM A) DIVISION: Conservation DATE: November 9, 1990 ANNUAL TOWN FINANCE BUDGET ACTUAL ADOPTED PROPOSED MANAGER COMMITTEE BUDGET (REVISED) EXPENDITURES BUDGET BUDGET RECOMMENDED RECOMMENDED / SUMMARY FY - 1990 FY - 1990 FY - 1991 FY - 1992 FY - 1992 FY - 1992 S $ ~ S S $ PERSONAL SERVICES (FORM 8) 27,385 27,201 27,307 27,814 27,814 27,814 NONPERSONAL EXPENSES: PURCHASE OF SERVICES (FORM C) 0 0 0 0 0 0 SUPPLIES (FORM D) - 1,300 960 500 300 300 300 OTHER CHARGES (FORM E) 0 0 0 0 0 0 TOTAL NONPERSONAL EXPENSES 1,300 960 500 300 300 300 CAPITAL OUTLAY (FORM F) 0 0 0 0 0 0 $ $ $ $ $ $ TOTALS 28,685 28,161 27,807 28,114 28,114 28,114 FINANCING PLAN: $ $ $ $ $ $ GENERAL FUND 25,134 25,134 WATER FUND SEWER FUND ELECTRIC FUND Revolving Fund 2,980 2,980 $ $ $ $ $ $ TOTALS 0 0 0 0 28,114 28,114 70 Line Items 3 - 4 TOWN OF READING FY - 1992 BUDGET DEPARTMENT: Community Development C PERSONAL SERVICES (FORM B) DIVISION: Conservation ANNUAL TOWN FINANCE ACTUAL ADOPTED PROPOSED MANAGER COMMITTEE PERSONAL SERVICES BUDGET EXPENDITURES BUDGET BUDGET RECOMMENDED RECOMMENDED CLASSIFICATION # FY - 1990 FY - 1990 # FY - 1991 # FY - 1992 # FY - 1992 FY - 1992 Cons Administrator 1.0 25,885 25,890 1.0 27,307 1.0 27,814 1.0 27,814 27,814 Recording Seclry Pt 1,500 1,311 0 0 0 0 TOTALS 1.0 27,385 27,201 1.0 27,307 1.0 27,814 1.0 27,814 27,814 71 Line Items 5 - 6 TOWN OF READING FY - 1992 BUDGET DEPARTMENT: Community Development BUDGET SUMMARY (FORM A) DIVISION: Planning DATE: November 9, 1990 ANNUAL TOWN FINANCE BUDGET ACTUAL ADOPTED PROPOSED MANAGER COMMITTEE BUDGET (REVISED) EXPENDITURES BUDGET BUDGET RECOMMENDED RECOMMENDED SUMMARY FY - 1990 FY - 1990 FY - 1991 FY - 1992 FY - 1992 FY - 1992 S $ $ S S $ PERSONAL SERVICES (FORM 8) 2,900 2,198 40,904 0 0 0 NONPERSONAL EXPENSES: PURCHASE OF SERVICES (FORM C) 0 0 0 0 0 0 SUPPLIES (FORM D) 1,400 859 0 0 0 0 OTHER CHARGES (FORM E) 0 0 0 0 0 0 TOTAL NONPERSONAL EXPENSES 1,400 859 0 0 0 0 CAPITAL OUTLAY (FORM F) 0 0 0 0 0 0 $ $ $ $ $ $ TOTALS 4,300 3,057 40,904 0 0 0 FINANCING PLAN: $ $ $ $ $ $ GENERAL FUND WATER FUND SEWER FUND ELECTRIC FUND $ $ $ $ $ $ TOTALS 0 0 0 0 0 0 72 Lane Items 5 - 6 TOWN OF READING FY - 1992 BUDGET DEPARTMENT: Community Development l PERSONAL SERVICES (FORM B) DIVISION: Planning ANNUAL TOWN FINANCE ACTUAL ADOPTED PROPOSED MANAGER COMMITTEE PERSONAL SERVICES BUDGET EXPENDITURES BUDGET BUDGET RECOMMENDED RECOMMENDED CLASSIFICATION # FY - 1990 - FY - 1990 # FY - 1991 # FY - 1992 # FY - 1992 FY - 1992 Dept Head/Planner - 1.0 * * 1.0 40,904 Recording Seclry - pt 2,900 • 2,198 0 0 0 0 *see General Dept $ $ $ $ $ $ TOTALS 1.0 2,900 2,198 1.0 40,904 0.0 0 0.0 0 0 73 Line Items 7 - 8 ( TOWN OF READING FY - 1992 BUDGET DEPARTMENT: Community Deve6opnent BUDGET SUMMARY (FORM A) DIVISION: Zoning Board of Appeals DATE: November 9, 1990 ANNUAL TOWN FINANCE BUDGET ACTUAL ADOPTED PROPOSED MANAGER COMMITTEE BUDGET (REVISED) EXPENDITURES BUDGET BUDGET RECOMMENDED RECOMMENDED SUMMARY FY - 1990 FY - 1990 FY - 1991 FY - 1992 FY - 1992 FY - 1992 S $ S $ S $ PERSONAL SERVICES (FORM 8) 2,400 1,502 1,100 1,100 1,100 1,100 NONPERSONAL EXPENSES: PURCHASE OF SERVICES (FORM C) 0 0 0 0 0 0 SUPPLIES (FORM D) 200 193 0 0 0 0 OTHER CHARGES (FORM E) 0 0 0 0 0 0 TOTAL NONPERSONAL EXPENSES 200 193 0 0 0 0 CAPITAL OUTLAY (FORM F) 0 0 0 0 0 0 TOTALS 2,600 1,695 1,100 1,100 1,100 1,100 FINANCING PLAN: $ $ $ $ $ $ GENERAL FUND WATER FUND ---I- SEWER FUND ELECTRIC FUND $ $ $ $ $ $ TOTALS 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 I 74 Line Items 7 - 8 TOWN OF READING FY - 1992 BUDGET DEPARTMENT: Community Development PERSONAL SERVICES (FORM B) DIVISION:.

There are no personnel funds in the Data Processing budget as the Assistant Treasurer/Collector con- tinues to be the Data Processing Coordinator. Besides providing programming and systems support the Data Processing budget is also responsible for purchasing hardware, software, computer re- lated supplies, and computer training for all departments. Water and sewer areas use approximately one sixth of the computer resources. One sixth of the computer budget is approximately $10,700 for FY92. In FY92, the telephone bills for the modems will be included with the overall telephone bill within the Town Manager's budget. Maintenance for the PC's will increase because the equipment is older and we continue to add equipment as their warranties ex- pire. (We currently have 17 PC's and 13 printers under contract.) We should see some leveling off of PC maintenance because.no new purchases of capital equipment are scheduled for FY92. Software maintenance is for essential VMS and ADMINS upgrades to the main computer system. Forms processing, (folding, stuffing, and mail- ing of bills) is being adjusted to reflect actual costs. Computer training continues to be used by all departments, primarily DPW as they develop applications specific to equipment maintenance schedules. Encumbrance Status 02-045-5800 Capital Outlay; encumbered for purchase of a cash register in Collector's office; machine was ordered June 1, 1990 but was not received until September . The balance as of 12-10-90 is $2362.00; machine has been installed but we are wait- ing for training and linkup to the main computer before payment is made. Completion and final payment expected by mid January. Personnel Summary There are no personnel funds in the Data Processing budget. Revenue Summary The Department generates about $300.00 to $400.00 dollars a year for the sale of information provided on computer tapes or labels. The receipts are deposited into the General Fund. 87 Line Items 27 - 28 'TOWN OF READING FY - 1992 BUDGET BUDGET SUMMARY (FORM A) DEPARTMENT: FINANCE DIVISION: 035 GENERAL DEPARTMENT BUDGET DATE: March 13, 1991 ANNUAL TOWN FINANCE BUDGET ACTUAL ADOPTED PROPOSED MANAGER COMMITTEE BUDGET (REVISED) EXPENDITURES BUDGET BUDGET RECOMMENDED RECOMMENDED SUMMARY FY - 1990 FY - 1990 FY - 1991 FY - 1992 FY - 1992 FY - 1992 S $ $ S S S PERSONAL SERVICES (FORM 8) 260,034 252,982 271,079 271,079 290,664 290,664 NONPERSONAL EXPENSES: PURCHASE OF SERVICES (FORM C) 54,500 55,035 57,700 58,700 61,580 61,580 SUPPLIES (FORM D) 1,600 1,297 2,400 1,200 1,200 1,200 OTHER CHARGES (FORM E) 1,550 1,978 1,150 1,150 300 300 TOTAL NONPERSONAL ( EXPENSES 57,650 58,310 61,250 61,050 63,080 63,080 CAPITAL OUTLAY (FORM F) 0 0 0 0 0 0 $ $ $ $ S S TOTALS 317,684 311,292 332,329 332,129 353,744 353,744 FINANCING PLAN: S $ $ $ $ $ GENERAL FUND 278,622 - 272,230 - 283,593 282,984 304,399 304,399 WATER FUND 12,246 - - 12,246 16,702 16,702 16,702 16,702 SEWER FUND 12,216 12,216 16,643 16,643 16,643 16,643 ELECTRIC FUND 14,600 - 14,600 15,391 16,000 16,000 16,000 $ $ $ S $ $ TOTALS 317,684 311,292 332,329 332,329 353,744 353,744 88 Line Items,, 27 - 2~ NARRATIVE FOR GENERAL DEPARTMENT BUDGET:FINANCE The Finance salary budget shows a change in the department head's salary. This is a reflection of the combining of the current stipend ($2,567.00) from the retirement budget into this budget and is not an increase. No funds for the Treasurer will be requested under the retirement budget. As a result of the assumption of School Department business functions, the Finance clerical budget has been increased by 2/10 or $4,585. -This represents an increase in 8 1/2 hours of cleri- cal time per week. There is also a new position of Assistant Data Processing coordinator at a salary of $15,000 to help with school department business operations. This position is being shared with the Accounting Department (50/50). The other half of the salary ($15,000) is funded in the Accounting budget. Two tasks have been absorbed in the Fiscal 1991 budget year with no extra staffing. We have adopted a quarterly real estate billing and we have assumed the tasks of the personnel clerk who was not replaced in General Services. The expense budget does not show a decrease because the overall decrease in data processing covers the requested decrease of 3.2% in both the salary and expense budgets of the General Department as well as data processing. Absorbing quarterly tax billing, continuing to address delinquent tax titles, and paying for banking services and increased postage for all departments, including school, does not allow for decreases. The Financing Plan of the General Department Budget shows charges to the water and sewer funds as follows: 1/10 salary of Data Processing Coordinator $4,061 1/4 salary of Adm. Assistant Collector's Office 6,717 full salary of clerk in Collector's Office 17,472 charge for Dept Head's retirement services 95 lockbox 5,000 $33,345 Services to Reading Municipal Light Department $16,000 The total number of full time equivalent positions budgeted and filled as of 10/1/90 is 10. There are no vacant positions. Municipal lien certificates in the produced $17,308 in revenue in Fiscal Year redemption fee for tax titles, which must be of deeds out of the appropriation for that $340.00. There were no encumbrances for this Collector's office r 1990. The $10.00 paid to the Registry purpose brought in budget. 89 Line Items 27 - 28 TOWN OF READING FY - 1992 BUDGET PERSONAL SERVICES (FORM B) DEPARTMENT: FINANCE DIVISION: 035 GENERAL DEPARTMENT BUDGET ANNUAL TOWN FINANCE ACTUAL ADOPTED PROPOSED MANAGER COMMITTEE PERSONAL SERVICES BUDGET EXPENDITURES BUDGET BUDGET.

The environmental health program includes in- spections of all licensced facilities in the town as well as response to a variety of citizen complaints. The town also provides mosquito control programs, outpatient men- tal health services and job training/residential living for men- tally retarded citizens through contracts with local agencies. This fiscal year this division was reduced by 150. -Next fiscal year the Public Health Nurse will be another reduced 2.0 hours/week which result in the loss in tuberculin testing and all community health education.

Support staff provide general administration, telephone coverage, typing, and answers of general questions for Health, Elder Services, Recreation, Veterans Services, Fuel As- sistance and general Human Services. The Department Head func- tions in the dual role of Director of the Health Division as well as the Director for the Depertment. Staffing levels are at a minimum. Expenses are dangerously low as the office supplies includes all postage except for registered letters and large envelopes. Encumbrance Status None Personnel Summary There is a full time Director, a full time Administrative Assis- tant, and 1.3 FTE Principal Clerks (19 hours/wk for Elder Serv- ices and 30 hours/wk for Recreation/Fuel Assistance). Last fis- cal year witnessed a changeover of two of the three support staff. Due to the terminal illness of the Administrative Assis- tant in November of 1990, the salary line item for FY90 is un- usually low. Her temporary replacement was a Principal Clerk which accounts for the higher expenditures in that line last year. Revenue Summary There is no revenue for this division. 120 Line Items 56.,- 57 TOWN OF READING FY - 1992 BUDGET PERSONAL SERVICES (FORM 8) DEPARTMENT: Hunan Services DIVISION: Hunan Services - 521 ANNUAL TOWN FINANCE ACTUAL ADOPTED PROPOSED MANAGER COMMITTEE PERSONAL SERVICES BUDGET EXPENDITURES BUDGET BUDGET RECOMMENDED RECOMMENDED CLASSIFICATION # FY - 1990 FY - 1990 # FY - 1991 # FY - 1992 # FY - 1992 FY 1992 $ $ $ $ $ $ Director 1.0 38,956 38,957 1.0 41,099 1.0 41,099 1.0 41,099 41,099 Admin.

The FY92 budget as presented will require further reductions in library services and hours of operation. Both the staff and the Library Board of Trustees have attempted to preserve the essential library functions (book acquisition, cataloging, and circulation; information retrieval; and introduction of reading and books to youngsters) at a minimal level. To accommodate the 3.2% reduction, the Head of Technical Services position will be eliminated. The loss of this 20 hours per week position will necessitate a restructuring of library operations. The Assistant Director will function as the Head of Technical Services. As a result, the 11 hours per week that she gives to public service (covering the Reference Desk) will no longer be available. Therefore, the reference division will lose 11 hours per week of coverage. The Circulation Desk currently has 103 staff hours to cover 118 hours of operation with no time for work that must be done away from a public desk. The Library cannot sustain its current level of operation with a 3.2 Y reduction in funds and a continual increase in circulation and reference requests. The proposed decrease in the FY92 budget will necessitate a reduction in operating hours and changes in the level of services available. The FY92 budget as presented (with a 3.20 decrease) will result in: reducing hours of operation by 7 % elimination of one division head's. position longer borrowing period (less availability of materials) limit of one renewal per item reduction of teachers' borrowing privileges from 8 weeks to 4 elimination of deposit collections at senior housing communities cease maintenance and repair of public.access Apple Ile Other options, not yet voted on by Board of Library Trustees: elimination of card catalog (no backup for downtime) voluntary contributions for fines in lieu of staff calculation and documentation ENCUMBRANCE STATUS 02-611-5561 encumbered for books purchased balance as of 7/1/90 $224.58 balance as of 12/21/90 $0 PERSONNEL SUMMARY FY91 budget 28 individuals; 15.8 FTE no vacant positions at this time REVENUE SUMMARY final y-t-d projected FY90 FY91 FY92 Fines $15,465 $ 7,321 $13,500 Copier 8,536 4,152 9,000 123 $24,001 $11,473 $22,500 1 1~ Line Items 58 - 59 TOWN OF READING FY - 1992 BUDGET PERSONAL SERVICES (FORM B) DEPARTMENT: Library DIVISION: Account # 611 ANNUAL TOWN FINANCE ACTUAL ADOPTED PROPOSED MANAGER COMMITTEE PERSONAL SERVICES BUDGET EXPENDITURES BUDGET BUDGET RECOMMENDED RECOMMENDED CLASSIFICATION # FY - 1990 FY - 1990 # FY - 1991 # FY - 1992 # FY - 1992 FY - 1992 S S S S S S Director 1.0 38,956 38,997 - 1.0 41,099 1.0 41,099 1.0 41,099 41,099 Assistant Director 1.0 30,748 - 30,514 - - 1.0 33,969 1.0 - 33,969 1.0 33,969 33,969 secretary 1.0 18,701 19,163 - 1.0 19,729 1.0 19,729 1.0 19,729 19,729 Division Head 1.5 36,251 36,491 3.5 105,432 3.0 90,205 3.0 90,205 90,205 Librarian - 4.5 107,704 - 108,568 2.3 63,690 2.3 63,690 2.3 63,690 . 63,690 Library Associate 3.0 59,150 55,619 2.6 - 54,013 2.6 54,013 2.6 54,013 54,013 Senior Technician 1.0 19,130 19,767 1.0 20,182 1.0 - 20,182 1.0 20,182 20,182 Technician 2.1 33,821 31,481 1.5 25,956 - 1.5 25,956 1.5 25,956 25,956 Aide 0.3 3,806 4,030 0.1 2,008 0.1 2,008 0.1 2,008 2,008 ---Page--------------- 2.4 23,923 24,464 1.8 21,180 1.8 21,180 1.8 21,180 21,180 ' S E S S S - S TOTALS 17.8 372,190 369,094 15.8 387,258 15.3 372,031 15.3 372,031 372,031 124 Line Items 60 - 61 TOWN OF READING FY - 1992 BUDGET BUDGET SUMMARY (FORM A) DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC SAFETY DIVISION: POLICE DATE: MARCH 13, 1991 ANNUAL TOWN FINANCE BUDGET ACTUAL ADOPTED PROPOSED MANAGER.

The budget proposed by the Chief came within the 3.2% decrease guideline showing the loss in overtime. This would have resulted inadequate staffing level with a major piece of equipment being out of service all year. The recommended budget reflects the loss of one firefighter position through at- trition and a reduction in buy back for a net decrease of $42,223. The expense reduction is shown in training. Telephone expense is removed. There has been an increase in Metrofire dues of $1000, so that the net loss is $3,660. We are now pinched in all areas and many lines are not adequately funded. On the Capital outlay the Ladder Truck and Bucket Truck still ap- pear. Both have been deferred. Added to this is an ambulance replacement. Our fleet is.aging - repairs are more costly - parts are not available - down time is a problem and safety is jeopardized.

As has been related int he past, clerical posi- tions of Administration were reduced drastically in the past five years through good management practices. The absence of the clerk for 20 hours has had a detrimental effect upon the perfor- mance of the entire administrative staff. In spite of previous claims that existing work would be made easier to promote a reduction !in work hours by administration, this has not been true. There are deficiencies in computer uptake that have prevented any advantages that were to be gained. This staff per- son should be returned full time to administrative duties. Staff time has been pro-rated over various individuals throughout the Public Works function. One clerical position .(37.5 hours) has been moved from.,, Highway Division to Administration; one clerical position (37.5 hours) has been moved from water Division to Ad- ministration as 17.5 hours/week. 1.

Through attrition, the Department has been reduced con- siderably over the past three years and its effect is apparent town-wide. The purchase of services and supplies were con- siderably underfunded for Fiscal 91 and though slight expected increases have been addressed in the.*Fiscal 92 budget, funds have been reduced for miscellaneous projects and supplies for this Division. The Capital Outlay program is as specified in the Capital Outlay Sheet. Please note that Chapter 90 construction funds of $118,000 is completely reimbursable by State Department of Public Works. The effects of the Fiscal 92 budget further reduces the Division down to one of performing only those items required for safety such-as line painting throughout the com munity, and extremely minor maintenance items on roads and streets. The biggest single impact to the community will be lack of sweeping in the spring of 1991, the funding of which has been eliminated in the Fiscal 91 budget. 1.

No reduction of work force is con- templated. To offset any additional impact on the tax levy, we expect to take approximately $71,000 from bequest income to meet this cost. Due to the retirement of the Division Head and hiring a replacement at a lower rate, there is some reduction in the to- tal labor item. Maintenance - This part of the budget is pretty much level funded. Grave box item has been increased because of a 25% in- crease in the cost of each unit. An additional $3,000 item has been added - repair of the northwest pier of old receiving tomb. The sooner this problem is worked on the less will be the final costs. Funding from sale of lots account has been recommended by. the Cemetery Trustees to meet the expense of this portion of the budget. Development - On July 3 a request to encumber $29,644.06 for the continuation of this work was approved. After completing another large section at Charles Lawn, there still is a balance of $21,093 (10/31/90) to grade and seed another section in 1991 and 1992. Buy-Back of Lots - As of July 3, 1990 there was a balance of $1,300.00 encumbered for this purpose. Several transactions were pending at that time. Present balance is $338.67. Capital Outlay - Purchase of Mower - In 1987 the urn garden was developed. In 1988 another large section was added to the acreage of Forest Glen. This present year saw the completion of a 3/4 acre plot at Charles Lawn. This plan calls for the pur- chase of a larger capacity riding mower (6011) with a material gathering capacity. A 1987 unit is to be traded. Repaving of certain avenues - Laurel Hill - those included have not received any attention for over 30 years. Work should be done to prevent further deterioration. Both of these items are planned to be financed from Cemetery Funds. 163 amine Items 102-104 CEMETERY (Continued) 1.

Munnelly, Ed.D. Superintendent Post Office Box 180 Reading, Massachusetts 01867 BUDGET MESSAGE Reading School Committee Stanley Nissen chairman Carol Lyons vice-chairman George Shannon Mary Williams Barbara Philbrick James Nally Developing a school budget for the 1991-92 School Year has been a particularly difficult task for the Reading School Committee. The Superintendent and his staff were asked to prepare three educational budgets for consideration by the Reading School Committee. The School Committee, at its January 2, 1991 meeting which was its last before the January 13th public hearing, voted to accept the Level Service budget as the official budget. The only increases are those for which the School Committee has contractual obligations, namely step raises for teachers, a cost-of-living raise in the third year of contracts for secretaries and aides, special education program services increase in aides and tutors accounts, bus costs, and sports officials. At the School Committee meeting earlier this week, the School Committee voted action which further reduces the Level Service budget by eliminating the post of School Business Manager as part of a merger of Town and School fiscal services, by consolidating custodial services with the town, by agreeing to an early retirement proposal for teachers, and by reducing with great risk the substitute teacher budget. Fees for athletic participation were raised by $10 to a per student per sport fee of $90. These actions reduce the gap between the money made available to date by the Town Manager and Finance Committee action and the "new" Level Service budget to $333,518 which we hope is an amount which a trash fee will cover. The School Committee feels this new Level Service budget is reasonable on every count. It has pared down every possible planned expenditure by reassessing each line and each program of the budget and yet educational services are still maintained at the level of the 1990-91 school year programming.

There should be no immediate effect ex- cept perhaps a slight delay in time. Purchase of services have been reduced approximately $11,000 due to inflation of prior projects. Supplies have been modestly increased to reflect an- ticipated increases due to inflation. The user charges and ex- penses have been reduced significantly due to changes in health insurance and interest on debt. Capital Outlay is as was presented in previous capital out- lay plan. Rates will be reviewed and a recommendation made some time in April. 1.

There will be no particular adverse reaction with the exception that work will be done at a slightly slower rate. Purchase of services have been increased significantly to reflect our purchases with the Infiltration/Inflow program that has been ongoing over the past five..years. This is the last fee prior to actual construction if that event occurs. Modest-in- creases have been made in the supply area to cover anticipated inflation increases. The most significant change has been in the user charges and expense portion of the budget and concerns the 20% increase expected from the MWRA sewer assessment. This in- crease is soft at the present time and probably will not be able to be firmed up until March or April. MWRA has made efforts in the past to get the hard numbers out prior to our Town Meeting and they will continue to do so. Review of sewer charges will be made in April as has been our practice in the past. Capital Outlay expense is as previously noted in the capital outlay plan. 1.
