Hechenbleikner, Town Manager Lifting of Emergency Parking Regulations Dear Peter: As you know, in January I imposed temporary parking regulations on sections of Washington Street and Green Street. This action was taken in order to ensure that police and fire vehicles could continue to respond to and pass through these areas despite the large snowfall accumulation. Over the past several days it seems that there has been a break in the weather. Much of the accumulated snow has melted, widening travel lanes on local roadways to their normal capacities. As a result, I am lifting the temporary parking regulations effective immediately. These regulations had specifically been in effect in the following areas: Washington Street between Prescott Street and Fulton Street Temporary No Parking on the Northerly side. Washington Street between Prescott Street and Woburn Street Temporary No Parking on both sides. Washington Street between Woburn Street and Briarwood Apartments-Temporary No Parking on the Easterly side. Green Street between Ash Street and the entrance to Rite Aid Pharmacy-Temporary No Parking on the Northerly side. I will forward a copy of this memo to the Department Heads for their information and post it on the Reading Police Department website. An announcement regarding the lifting of these regulations will be posted. If you have any questions or concerns regarding these restrictions please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, v ~ James . Cormier Chief of Police xc3 12 G '77. r-s q Reading Cultural Council 2011 Responses: 36 1.

(i.e., public art , historical education, art/cultural programs supporting seniors, teens, families, children)? Answered: 31 Skipped: 5 high quality performances that represent a variety of cultures. The art and cultural scene is suffering from the maelstrom of easily accessible, prerecorded digital simulations of the arts that are now pervasive. The fullness of the live performance and personal interactions cannot be replaced by those things because they preserve only a small part of the whole experience. People don't understand that. We need to bring back the personal involvement of the general population in the arts by making performances and exhibitions more easily. accessible and frequent. Art/cultural programs supporting teens, seniors, families, children families and family freindly activities I consider involving teens with established artists to be crucial. This provides key learning experiences, invigorates the arts and harnesses the imagination and drive of youth. Music, Teens & Childrens, the library Preserving the history of the community, historic homes and the stories about them; tree lined streets that people can walk along with places to stop and get some coffee or an ice cream historical education, arts/cultural programs for seniors and their families Communication! If these programs exist, I am unaware of them. Arts awareness for all ages and abilities seniors historical I think there needs to be more in this town for teens to get involved in. art/cultural programs for all ages historical education music programs reaching out to all ages Historical Art--visual and literary Environmental 14 ~ ~ Multi-generational Historical education Publicity, volunteer support (recruiting & use of volunteer talent), public awareness of available cultural resources. I think it's important to keep the artistic and cultural initiatives in town totally independent of Town government (then they can't be cut in bad budget years). Any program that brings art and cultural activities to town regardless of the targeted audience. all of the above art/cultural programs for seniors, special needs, teens, families and individuals, with public events and historical education to create interest. I think it is very good for the community to have performances and gatherings that bring people out of their TV rooms to meet face to face and see real live people performing. We are growing too attached to our. screens, and too passive - we view art and music as things other people do/participate in'and we just observe. Everyone should be an artist, historical education, public art, music Historical Education and programs that the whole town can be involved in, whether it be an Art Festival or a music festival showcasing musicians from the middle and high schools and adults that also play music. It would be great to see them all come together! art, history of Reading, US and near east More events need to be planned for the public to attend- concerts, craft displays and sales, much more on Reading History via programs and tours. The Antiquarian Society needs a boost to do more in the area of history. ,Supporting seniors Towns committment to historic preservation, art and culture programs supporting children, teens and seniors No real "issue"; continue to publicize events in music, art, etc. Seniors, music ed. Any that promote town pride and unity and a sense of welcome to those new to Reading 3. What might artists and arts organizations do to make ours a more livable, prosperous community? Answered: 28 Skipped: 8 Beautification of our community through music and art. Opportunities to see and hear new art/music- expand our experience beyond our immediate environment/comfort zone. We need to make the arts more frequent and more public and easily accessible. Reading Art used to have great attendance at our Spring Show when it was outdoors on the common. It was visible and obvious and easy to walk through. We are now buried in the basement of the church. We need to move more of the arts into the center of town and make them more commonplace and visible. Hold community meetings and invite everyone Establishing a core community and a central physical space for collaboration and exhibition. Such a place would encourage artists to come to Reading and art lovers and buyers to visikt Reading. More performances. I've been to a couple of communities that have street art in the downtown area, and that makes it really fun to visit and walk around while you shop. One of the best is Belfast Maine. Boston has put in some really nice street art - interactive stuff in the greenway for kids to play and parents to sit and watch. not sure Print money? I think recognition by the town and school system is extremely important. The organizations are already out there, trying to encourage people to attend their events... yet we see little supported or encouraged by the Town & school system. have more exhibits, make them more enticing for the rest of the town and not just those in school or families who have children or friends in the programs. 15 1C tD Open Studio events, art center with studio space for individual artists to rent at reasonable cost Have shared activities That's a good question. What have they done so far? More public art & sculpture displays, adding a performance space downtown (perhaps in the Christian Science Church facility?), recruiting artists who perform at Memorial Park and the Fall Fair to perform at other times and in other venues in Reading during the year. Publicize these performance events outside of town, to invite visitors who might stay and have dinner or discover an interesting store here. Anything that will get their "product" in front of the community - street faires, open mike nights, presence at other town events, ie how could we incorporate art at the farmers market? Artisan cheeses? engage people in creating art (music, art, writing, etc.) so that they may better appreciate exhibits, readings, concerts, etc. Public events to bring out people so they can experience and learn about arts/culture. Something fun to try. Draw on the currently active supporters and encourage them to bring out their neighbors. Arts activities need to be made accessible. Attach a party/social gathering opportunity to the end of performances so people can mingle, meet and converse, not just watch then leave. More productions Have outside performances in the summer and make it like an old time "Ice Cream Social". The money made with selling ice cream could help sponsor additional programs! help with marketing The outdoor art show on the common of.years gone by was wonderful and something to look forward to. Have more displays of arts draw residents together, spark a conversation Reach out to the community Participate in "all town" events so that the community as a whole knows of these artists and arts (ie Friends and Family Day, Reading Fall Street Faire We have a great community... not sure how to make it more "livable" or "prosperous" 4.

If affiliated with a cultural organization, what are the most significant challenges you (your organization) expect to be facing in the next two years? Answered: 19 Skipped: 17 Funding the production of a program & reaching new audience members with publicity. I am a long time member of Reading Art Association (since about 1981). The membership is decreasing. Attendance at the meetings is down to the Members. of the Board and a few dedicated followers. Entries in our Spring and Fall shows is decreasing every year. The people running the events are getting tired, and there are few new members.showing up to take over. The next few years will be critical for the survival of the organization. 17 Gg funding of activities, and community involvment in our concerts. Funding People are so busy, getting them involved in town is more and more difficult Budget and loss of attendance because of the economy, lack of awareness, etc. N/A PR funding,, so others are aware. NA Less public (tax) support, so more aggressive private fundraising and volunteer recruitment. Communication of mission and finances. Attention being drawn away by N, video games, internet Getting name musicians to perform here for reasonable cost attendance, fund raising ' Rising cost of music scores, rental cost of performance venues, salaries for director and accompaniest(to keep talented people) Blank funding I'm with Reading Community Singers. Biggest challenge seems to be financial; maintaining adequate finances to purchase music, pay director and accompanist, etc: Funding for projects from the state/federal level 9. Please list any other comments or suggestions. Answered: 15 Skipped: 21 The arts need to be more frequent and accessible. Perhaps moving some of it into the center of town would help. The new Fall festival is a big success partly because of its central location. The concerts held at Memorial park were not well attended. There was no parking, and there were the irate neighbors who did not want it in their neighborhood. A few blocks can make all the difference. I wish there was more to do in Reading, at least on a Friday or Saturday evening - particularly to make it a nice place to stroll in the evening. If there is an email or something that tells about these programs, I don't know about it. How do you disseminate information? As Reading resident, I see the town supporting Arts in the schools (which is wonderful) but they do not encourage participation in the wonderful non-profit organizations in town. Acknowledgment and or acceptance by the public school system and Town would be wonderful. I am an artist living in Reading and searched for affordable studio space to rent this past year. I found nothing affordable and ended up renting in Wakefield. Appreciate the.interest the Town is taking in this area especially during these difficult economic times The schools need to continue the work with our youth and the larger community needs to support the rest of the cultural community. I keep asking around town, what "theme" Reading could adopt that would attract businesses, visitors, events, and investment. I think the cultural and arts organizations in town may have part of the answer. To invite businesses within that theme, we as a Town first have to clear away some of the over-regulation that frustrates, homeowners and businesses today. What can we (together) do or offer, that surrounding towns don't, that would give people a good reason to visit downtown Reading? Clearly I'm unaware of the organization and all the benefits it brings to the Town. But I'm very supportive and hope to learn more. Again, letting people know you exist and why, while holding public events that get your group recognized. Letting people (of all ages)learn why/what you do and how it can enrich their lives and the community. It is great to have the performance center at the high school, but, it is busy there. Reading needs some additional venue equipped with well designed acoustics and public display space None tr 18 how about shaded chess/checkers tables with benches around the common, memorial park, etc. fountain, not too big, in the common I would make more of these questions multiple choice: I don't really know what details to come up with for some of these questions. I have lived in Reading for 36 years. I have been a TMM for over 20. 1 have served on several boards and committees. 1 have volunteered in other ways. I hardly know you exist. 19 V Gl Economic "Development.

MA 01981 ttsw~nnwr art Carry in - Carryout ....Carry on the tradition. Keep Reading Beautiful The Goal of the Carry In - Carry Out Program is to: ® Foster a partnership between visitors and the parks by encouraging all visitors to help maintain clean parks. 9 Encourage visitors to bring reusable containers and to recycle as much as possible. ® Increase the safety of each park by reducing the number of bees, wasps and other pests generated by rubbish left behind. ® Reduce the cost of removing trash and recycling from the parks by redirecting limited staff resources to other projects. ® Improve the appearance of the parks by removing trash cans that detract from the beauty of the natural environment. Your cooperation means cleaner parks for everyone. 46 For the concept to succeed in Reading, the cooperation of all sports league coaches and players is essential. Keeping our community's parks clean is a healthy, environmental and economically smart plan. We ask all park visitors join in the effort to keep Reading's parks and playing fields clean, safe, comfortable, and inviting for all. For more information on this program, contact www.readingma.gov or visit The. Reading Recreation leagues are critical to the success of the Carry In / Carry out Program. We are asking for everyone's participation'. A small effortby each team during their game can add up to a huge benefit for all that use the parks. Every coach is responsible for the rubbish and recycling their players bring into the parks. As a.team member, each player is responsible for their own carry in/carry out items. Prior to leaving the playing area, ensure that all rubbish/recycling has been cleaned up. 47 Town of Bedford Bedford has been trying to implement a carry in, carry out policy for many years: Our DPW has always been opposed to providing barrels. I'd say at least the last fifteen years, probably much longer we've been trying to implement this. It doesn't work very. well because most people expect trash cans (both Bedford people and visiting teams) and when they don't find anything, they often just leave their items on the ground. We ask coaches to clean up after their practice or game, but there is often a lot of garbage on the fields (and then, of course, finger pointing... was it a school team or a rec team or who left the mess?). It's a bit confusing for people because some town facilities (tennis courts, for example) do have trash receptacles but other "facilities" such as fields do not. I understand the DPW perspective that there is a good deal of work involved in emptying barrels from multiple sites, but I don't see our success improving in regard to people carrying their trash out. Good luck! Amy Amy Hamilton Recreation Director Town of Bedford 12 Mudge Way Bedford, MA 01730 781-275-1392 Town of Holliston We were surprised at how well it actually worked. We instituted the policy mainly at our athletic fields ...not at our parks -etc. We sent out notifications to all the youth sports groups, that use our fields,of the new policy. We had very few issues on the fields where there were no barrels placed. Some of the fields are located on school grounds, and the schools did not want to go along with the policy--those places where we actually had trash barrels, were where the trash problems continued! Sports groups using our fields sign a field policy document, at the beginning of each season, alerting them to a system of "fines" should any of the "rules" be broken, and leaving trash behind became one of the: rules We take a deposit from groups at the beginning of each sports season and withhold the deposit if there are any violations, such as leaving trash. Interesting to note* that in the places, such as picnic areas and playgrounds, where we maintained the trash barrels, we continued to have "trash problems". 48 We are considering removing the trash barrels from the parks, but don't know if we are there yet... I hope that helps you. Good luck! Maureen Korson Recreation Director Town Of Holliston 100 Linden St. Holliston, MA 01746 (phone) 508 429-2149 (fax) 508 429-0696 www,townofholliston.us/park.htm Towns of Hamilton-Wenham The environmental group Hamilton -Wenham Green spearheaded the pilot program. They had signs, a good amount of press, the OK from both towns (via Selectmen) and many volunteers patrolling the parks. The pilot did not make it into permanency fora number of reasons, but here are the key things we will hit when we go at it again (which we will) 1) Make sure there is plenty of education -hit it early, consistently and hard - marketing, schools, sports teams at all levels, town employees (DPW) other volunteer groups, young mothers groups, dog walkers ( consistent complaints about diapers and dog poop) You will need to be clear on why you want to.try this and what benefits will it have for park/field users? personal responsibility, save $ on pick up? tragedy of the commons? what will resonate? 2) Make sure there is buy in at all levels -from town manager to park supervisor; elementary ed having snack outside to High School sports -particularly coaches We had an insurgency in the park DPW that undermined the program - amazing how fast it can happen! 3) talk with other teams that use your fields (via rec department?) -urgent to allow them time to figure out how to handle. This were an afterthought for us -a mistake. 4) figure out how you are going to handle the program - remove trash barrels? If you leave a recycling bin -it will fill with trash (and poop!) Public bathrooms became a favorite dumping place! 49 5) signage is really important 6) measure results and report. Hope that helps a bit -if you have Q- feel free to call me. 978-837-2012 Best of luck!

Town of Peterborough, NH Yes, we have a carry in/carry out policy at our town beach, 2. Our Recreation Committee voted to make it a carry in/carry out facility. We advertised that fact with signage at the facility, through press releases and articles in the local paper, in our seasonal brochure, and just telling folks. 3. We weren't recycling previously and still don't and our other facilities. It's been too difficult to implement. People don't bother to separate and they put dog droppings in the recycle bin, etc. I'm not going to make my maintenance guys deal with that so we just don't recycle unfortunately. 4. Yes, the carry in/carry out policy has worked very well at that particular facility. Sometimes We get trash in our restroom trash cans because people don't want to bother taking their beach trash with them,. but in general, it's been very successful. I'm park however. The beach is restricted the people care more about the facility. park. Our other park also has a basketball court, ball fields, etc. Lots think it would be much more difficult to not impossible. I think a lot of it just community is willing to be. Good luck, I hope it works out for you. Jeffrey M. King, CPRP; CPSI; CPO Recreation Director not sure it would work in our other to residents, which helps because That isn't the case with our other playground, tennis courts, pool, more use. Lots of varied use. implement at that facility, though depends on how supportive your `s 1 .S~ 50 Peterborough Recreation Department 64 Union Street Peterborough, NH 03458-1056 Office Phone: 603-924-8080 Cell Phone: 603-831-8799 Town of Wakefield, MA Hi Jane, We do have a carry-in carry-out policy in Wakefield; we implemented it about 3 years ago. Every permit that we, had out has the policy on it; we also let every group know about the policy via email when we receive their request. Honestly, I think we have only had moderate success with: it, we still supply trash barrels at every field and those get filled up before any team would even consider carrying out their own trash. We have had instances with overflowing trash barrels but as soon as we threaten a league' with a termination of their permit, those problems seem to disappear. Whenever we have a group or family outing at a field, we instruct them that all trash must be removed by them and the trash barrels can not be used. The DPW eliminated a majority of trash barrels, the only ones that remain are the barrels near the exit/entrance of fields where they can be picked up and emptied relatively fast. The trash barrels that were time consuming in emptying were removed. Hope this helps Sean Timmons j 1 try 51 Trash cans to be removed from many Island County parks" KAPS Country 660AM Radio Page 1 of 2 Wednesday, March 2,20111360-424-0660 g n yr4 'twlrsl tl~~I LIVM Thanks"'for keep ur A Ohl -9 M.

Officials say the trash cans will be removed from the parks as of today. Island County officials hope park visitors will follow the "pack-it-in, pack-it-out" rule when it comes to trash, and that the island's vibrant volunteer community will pick up some of the slack, not to mention some of the trash. Trash cans already have been removed from Saratoga Woods and the boat ramp at Mutiny Bay, and are expected to be removed from Rhododendron Park near Coupeville and other island county recreation areas. On the south end of Whidbey Island, signs have been posted announcing the end of trash collection at Freeland Park, Double Bluff Beach, Dave Mackie Park in Maxwelton and Dan Porter Park in Clinton. In all, 35 to 40 trash cans will be removed from Island County parks. I Go Back.P 0e This entry was posted on Tuesday, March 1 st, 2011 at 10:43 am and is filed under News Headlines.

ADVERTISERS http://www.kapsradio.comlkaps-radio-660am-newg eadlines/trash-cans-to-be-removed-fro... 3/2/2011 Possible Issues: Dog Waste Diapers How do we notify visitors from other communities who may- not know the "rules"? When items are not "carried out", trash becomes a bigger issue for our parks/forestry personnel. It becomes more work when it's all over the ground than taking out the barrels of trash would have been. Do we institute the program as a pilot in one playground or town- wide? Do we take all barrels out of the parks and playgrounds and leave them street side, or do we remove them altogether? We would need to also remove all recycling bins (since they would fill with trash). How can we monitor the program? The town had leverage associated with the rubbish/recycling program- - their trash wasn't going to be picked up. What leverage do we have with this program? For the sports teams it may be easier to determine, unfortunately they are not the only ones using the parks/facilities. 5 `g 53 Board of Selectmen Meeting February 15, 2011 For ease of archiving, the order that items appear in these minutes reflects the order in which the items appeared on the agenda for that meeting, and are not necessarily the order in which any item was taken up by the Board. The meeting convened at 7:05 p.m. in the Selectmen's Meeting Room, 16 Lowell Street, Reading,' Massachusetts. Present were Chairman James Bonazoli, Vice Chairman Camille Anthony, Secretary Richard Schubert, Selectman Stephen Goldy, Town Manager Peter Hechenbleikner, Assistant Town Manager/Finance Director Bob LeLacheur, Office Manager Paula Schena and the following list of interested parties: Fred Van Magness, Michael Ciaccio; Robert Ciaccio, Tim Houston, Paul Feely, Lynne Johnson, Peter Kramer, Matt Casey and Mary Ann Quinn. Reports and Comments Selectmen's Liaison Reports and Comments - Stephen Goldy noted that he received comments and phone calls, regarding snow shoveling and fire hydrants.

He noted in Reading the storm ended February 2 and the Town started clearing on February 7 and didn't finish until yesterday. He also noted that the Town needs new hydrant markers too. He indicated this is a public safety factor. Town Manager's Report/Assistant Town Manager Report - The Town' Manager gave the following report: Administrative matters ® The Town of Reading hosted the National Guard deployment at Reading Memorial High School Field House today - Tuesday February 15, 2011. The National Guard was truly appreciative of the efforts of the Town, and particularly for the community support for buying sweatshirts for each of the soldiers. The total cost of the sweatshirts was $9,000, and the total amount of money raised to date is $11,335. The surplus will be kept in a fund by the Town to be used at the request of the National Guard to assist the soldiers as needed for items such as helping to pay for travel for emergency leave. I cannot remember everyone to recognize for their efforts, but they include the Reading Police, Fire, School, and Public Works Departments, as well as VSO Frank Driscoll and CS AA Maureen Knight. 54.

Discussion/Action Items Presentation - School Recycling - Youth Liaison Jimmy Houston gave a presentation to the Board on recycling in the schools. He noted that he has formed a Recycling Club and they meet on Thursdays. They check each room to make sure there are two containers - one for paper and one for bottles. He noted there are more bins than trash barrels in the school. They are working on increasing knowledge and their goal is to eventually reduce the amount of trash. Camille Anthony asked if there was any way to track the recycling and Jimmy Houston noted that the bins are full every week -the club empties them every Thursday. James Bonazoli noted that the next challenge will be to get the other schools onboard. Joint Meeting with Cemetery Board re: Cemetery Garage - Cemetery Director Bob Keating and Cemetery Board members Janet Baronian, Mary Vincent, Olive Hecht, William Brown, Ronald Stortz and Elise Ciregna were present. Town Engineer George Zambouras noted that the existing site is over 100 years old and has insufficient room for storage of equipment and has structural deterioration. He noted that he looked at Town owned property and impacts on neighborhoods. James Bonazoli asked about the Oakland Road site and George Zambouras indicated there was too much ledge and. it would be very expensive. George Zambouras noted that he and staff looked at the following locations: ® Laurel Hill ® Forest Glen - would have to cut a new road through a wooded area and it is completely surrounded by residents ® Charles Lawn - the building would displace existing grave sites ® Wood End - there is a security issue and it is at the far end of Town of Reading • Audubon Road property ® DPW facility The three locations to be considered are: Laurel Hill Cemetery, Forest Glen Cemetery and the Town owned property on Pearl Street at Audubon Road. Camille Anthony asked if the Audubon Road location could be screened and George Zambouras indicated not ideally due to the change in grade. ba„3 56 Board of Selectmen Meeting - February 15 2011 - page 4 Bob Keating indicated that Laurel Hill is the best choice and Forest Glen is second choice. He noted that we would save man hours by working out of a cemetery, rather than have to travel all the way across town and the administrative files are kept in Town Hall across the street from Laurel Hill. Fred Van Magness, 43 Franklin Street, indicated he was in favor of building the cemetery garage at the DPW facility instead of paying to build a toilet, office, etc. He doesn't want to see duplication of facilities. Camille Anthony showed interest in looking at the DPW garage immediately so DPW Director Jeff Zager will be invited in to discuss this. Establishing the Date of the 2011 Fall Street Faire - James Bonazoli noted that feedback from three surveys show that the majority of people are'in favor of holding the Fall Street Faire on September 11, 2011 as long as there is a commemoration for 9/11. The Town Manager noted that he received a phone call from a resident who felt very strongly against it. Stephen Goldy noted that if the date is moved one week either way then they are -holiday weekends. He also noted that he spoke with the Fire Fighters and they are in favor as along as there is a service for 9/11. A motion by Bonazoli seconded by Goldy to select the date of Sunday, September 11, 2011 for the 2011 Fall Street Faire was approved by a vote of 4-0-0. Hearing - Traffic Issues: Main Street (Quick Stop) Parking Regulations -The Secretary read the hearing notice. The Town Manager noted that the parking is very heavy due to Grumpy Doyle's. Police Chief James Cormier noted that there are two 30 minute spots in front of CVS and they work out fine. There is no problem with enforcement. He noted that there has been a change in business in the area and if the Board grants the regulations then we might hear from Haven Street businesses. Dan Dewar, owner of Quick Stop; the owner of Quiznos and the owner of the Cleaners all submitted petitions in favor of the parking regulations. The resident from 129 Ash Street indicated there is never a parking space available and he is in favor of the regulations. Dennis Frasier from Colonial Manor noted that there are spaces in front of the VFW but they are not striped. The Town Manager noted that ' once Mass Highway has signed off on the Main Street project then the Town can stripe. Mr. Frasier also noted that he has traffic lights in this driveway facing Ash Street and he never had that before. 57 O_A Board of Selectmen Meeting - February 15, 2011 - page 5 John Hill, 2 Waverly. Road, noted there is never a space available when he goes there and is in favor of the regulations. Margarite O'Sullivan noted that she usually gets a spot in the morning, but later in the day there are no spots. She also noted she is very happy with the 30 minute spots in front of CVS. James Bonazoli asked if we could get an additional space in front of the businesses and Chief Cormier indicated there is not enough room for three cars per engineering specifications. Richard Schubert noted that he will not support the changes in regulations because then other businesses will make the same request. He would consider looking at other zones. Camille Anthony noted that it is not right for one business to take up every parking space. The spaces are filled from lunchtime through dinnertime. She noted that the Town's parking program is detrimental to these businesses. She said it is not business friendly to have one size fits all. She suggests two 30 minute spots and indicated that will not hurt Grumpy Doyle's business. James Bonazoli noted he is in favor of two spots and suggests in front of 519 and 525. A motion by Schubert seconded by Goldy to close the hearinLy on parking regulations on Main Street was approved by a vote of 4-0-0. A motion by Schubert seconded by Anthony to amend the Town of Reading Traffic Rules and Regulations adopted by the Board of Selectmen on March 28, 1995, by adding to Appendix A-4b" Parking prohibited during certain hours on certain streets - 30 minute parking, 9:00 AM until 9:00 PM (Monday through Saturday)": Main Street northbound - The two on-street parking spots along the curbing adjacent to 505 and 519 Main Street The motion was approved by a vote of 3-1-0 with Schubert opposed. Hearing= Policy Establishing a Fall Street Faire Committee - The Secretary read the hearing notice. Stephen Goldy asked if there should be one member of the Board of Selectmen on the Committee. It was decided either one Selectmen or designee should be on the Board. Camille Anthony noted that the expenditure of funds should go through the Selectmen. Jack Russell noted that the funds are allotted by the Economic Development Committee to run the faire. James Bonazoli noted that tents were bought last year and he's not sure he would have done that. Bob LeLacheur noted the policy was too wordy and suggested removing some wording. 58 6~ Board of Selectmen Meeting - February 15 2011 - page 6 A motion by Goldy seconded by Schubert to close the hearing establishing a Fall Street Faire Committee was approved by a vote of 4-0-0. n by Goldy seconded by Schubert to appr Street Faire Committee as amended was a the policy dated 2-I5-11 establishir ote of 4-0-0 Preview Annual Town Meeting Warrant - The Town Manager reviewed the Town Meeting Warrant. Article 15 - Rescind Wetland Regulation Bylaw Richard Schubert noted that he is in favor of streamlining the Bylaw instead of rescinding it. James Bonazoli noted he sees no benefit in duplicating what the State requires, but he is in favor of looking at it if need be. Stephen Goldy noted that the Town Manager presented a budget reducing positions and eliminating procedures: It will be hard to do shared services if someone new has to learn our Bylaws. Bill Hecht, Chairman of the Conservation Commission, indicated that no work, goes away if the Bylaw is rescinded. He noted that the, same due diligence will need to be done. Camille Anthony noted that she was on the Conservation Commission when the Bylaw was passed. She is not ready to throw out the Bylaw just yet. She has concerns about flooding in homes. Stephen Goldy suggested that someone from the outside could take a look at the Bylaw. Dave Mancuso from "Making Reading Better" (MRB) noted that studies can go on for a long time - quoting "death by study." He indicated MRB is willing to support whatever is in the best interest of the Town. Camille Anthony asked what MRB's mission is and Dave Mancuso noted they look, at customer service and how the Town interacts. He also noted that complex, confusing regulations create stress which makes it difficult to get things done. Bill Hecht noted that preventing someone from doing something never makes, anyone happy. James Bonazoli disagreed and said it is all in the approach. Mr. Bonazoli noted that the answer may be no, but they don't have to walk away unhappy. He has talked to. many residents who have anxiety over Reading regulations. Article 17 - Amending Demolition of Historic Structures Bylaw - Richard Schubert indicated he would like to strike this from the Warrant. He said the cost of this would be loosing historic inventory. Stephen Goldy noted there is a lot of question as to what is on the historic inventory and he is in favor of moving it back to six months. He had friends who couldn't sell their house on Salem 59 Board of Selectmen Meeting - February 15, 2011 - page 7 Street because it was on the inventory. This does not wipe out the demolition delay, it will just ease the pain. The consensus of the Board was to talk to the Historical Commission. Article 18 - Amending; Bylaw Regarding Outdoor Speakers - The Town Manager noted that it is . a waste of time for the Building Inspector to enforce speakers at restaurants i.e. Bertucci's and Longhorns. He does not recommend amending the portion regarding gas stations, just the part regarding dining. Richard Schubert noted that would be for restaurants where the sound cannot be heard in a residential area.

On February 1, 2011 Cushing, Jammallo & Wheeler, Inc. (CJW) sampled groundwater fi-om the three monitoring wells at the Causeway Road Substation. This represents the 9"' groundwater sampling event since December 2009. The testing results were non-detect for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and/or oil. This is great news and, in our opinion, it is now appropriate for the substation to be "closed out under the applicable state' regulation (i.e. Massachusetts Contingency Plan). The" data from this and previous groundwater sampling events plus the recently completed soil remediation activities will be used to close out the site. It is expected that the submission of the final report (i.e. Response Action Outcome Statement) to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MADEP) will occur in March 2011. Please feel free to contact me at 978-368-6320 if you would like to discuss this matter further. Sincerely, INC.
