Town Manager's Report
Administrative Services
Town Manager's Office
➢ Last week the new Board of Selectmen met and reorganized as follows: Chair John Arena, Vice Chair
Marsie West, Secretary Dan_Ensminger, and congratulations to the newest BOS members John Halsey and
Kevin Sexton.
➢ Volunteers are a key ingredient for both the School department and Townovemment. We have recently
sent out inquiries to all Town volunteers who have a term ending on June 309 to see if they are interested in
continuing to serve. For newcomers, please check out the Town's website for some volunteer opportunities
and background information at http .-/Avww.readin.qma.gov/ town - manager /pagestvolunteer- opportunities and
if you see something that interests you then please download an application form at
http: /twww.readingma.gov/ sites/ readingma /fiiles/file/file/volunteer application .D&. Note that in addition, there
will be two openings as of July 1$t on the Finance Committee because of term limits. The Selectmen's
Volunteer Appointment Subcommittee will be meeting in late May to review the Board, Committee and
Commission openings and match all volunteer's interested in helping out, so apply now!
➢ Tonight I will hand out a reorganized listing of BOS liaison assignments that attempts to capture the
significant Boards, Committees and Commissions in Reading. For. FY14, Goal #5 for the Town Manager and
staff is as follows: "Discuss with BOS the need for broad BCC meetings to convey information and
expectations. For information, include Open Meeting Law and Ethics trainings, and a discussion of electronic
meeting support. For expectations, discuss two-way BOS-BCC communication options As needed, give
further direction to specific BCCs on their mission or operating procedure. " As part of the Retreat scheduled
for May, we should discuss how to ensure that organized communication combined with clear shared Town -
wide goals can properly utilize all of the amazing volunteer hours and efforts that we are fortunate enough to
have in Reading.
➢ Tonight you will hear updates from MAPC, the Reading Housing Authority, the Charter Committee and the
Citizen's Advisory Board (RMLD). RMLD General Manager Coleen O'Brien is out of town but happy to
answer any questions that might arise from tonight's review of REC activity, the Cost of Service study, or the
projected rate increase (still +1.5% this summer). RMLD staff is examining the cost side to make sure the
rate increase is needed. Next week we will hear from the Fall Street Faire Committee, the Recreation
Committee and the Reading Ice Arena Authority.
Tomorrow night the Reading Garden Club hosts a Spring Kick -Off meeting for their Adopt -an- Island program,
scheduled for 7pm at the Pleasant Street Center. They are a great example of a public - private partnership
• Page 1 r
where the entire Town is the beneficiary. We have developed a DRAFT mapping tool that shows all the
Adopt -an- Island sites in town here: http: //bit.ly /leDLNU5
➢ Enclosed in your packet over the weekend is the work to -date (shown in track changes) by the Charter
Committee. Tonight you will receive an update, and be advised how the Board may participate if they have
any suggested changes to the Charter. Please see a further explanation below under the Town Clerk section.
for a discussion of past and future steps.
➢ Please note the Proclamations tonight for Municipal Clerk's week and National Public Safety
Telecommunication week, and join us in thanking both groups for their excellent work!
➢ We will be hosting a community workshop on behalf of the Boston Regional Metropolitan Planning
Organization on Thursday June 12� from 5:30 - 7:OOpm at the Pleasant Street Center. They are reviewing
the 2015 -18 Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) and the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) and
seek public comment on both documents. Copies of each will be available on our website when we receive
them.
Human Resources
➢ Retirements and a couple of open positions have caused the HR division to be exceptionally busy in the
hiring process lately. Thanks to HR Administrator Carol Roberts and Administrative- Secretary Petra

3- indicates hiring process is underway
Town Clerk
➢ A point of clarification about the Town Charter, which is enclosed in your packet for tonight: last year
Annual Town Meeting approved some language changes about day counts and the Referendum
process. The final step is to bring these changes to the voters for their approval. Due to the ongoing
work of the Charter Committee, the Town Manager decided to delay the first set of changes until
November 2014 Town Meeting is finished with the entire document and send all proposed changes to
the voters at the local election in April 2015.
➢ Special Elections and Special Town Meetings have added to the already busy season at the beginning
of the calendar ear. The March 4"' Special State Primary election saw 1,136 (6.3 %) of voters cast ballots,
while on April 1 at a combined Special State and Local elections 4, 468 (25.0 %) voters participated. For
election results please see: http: //www.readingma.gov/ town- clerk/pages /election - results
➢ Census forms are still being processed — please send one in if you have not yet done so.
➢ A reminder to all dog owners to please register everyone's best friend with the Town Clerk's office as
quickly as possible. Dog registration is mandated by both Reading Bylaw and Massachusetts General
Law (MGL) because of public health concerns, but registrations also help reunite lost dogs with their
• Page 2
(3
owners from time to time. Registrations are mailed out each year in the census and otherwise available
online at: http: / /www.readin.qma.gov /town- clerk/pages /dog- licenses. Please note that the following late
fee schedule is already in effect: after March 31St a one -time fee of $10 plus an additional $5 /month fine
thereafter; after May 31St a one -time $50 fine for violation of MGL (we usually send out over 300 /year).
Annually the Reading Police department takes a small number of dog owners to court when they are in
violation for more than one year. This is not a result that anyone wants: it is expensive to the dog owner
and resource consuming for the Town.
➢ Town Meeting Season is upon us. Annual Town Meeting (ATM) begins at the Performing Arts Center at
RMHS on Monday April 2e at 7:30pm. Last week the Board of Selectmen called for a Special Town
Meeting to be at 8:30pm that first night of ATM to discuss the Early Childhood Center for all -day kindergarten
and pre = school. On last Thursday Town Meeting members were mailed information about each Town
Meeting, as well as Precinct Meetings that - begin at 7pm on April 28th. As always, Warrant Reports for each
Town Meeting are available 24/7 at the Police Station. If you have any questions please send an email to
Town Clerk Laura Gemme IgemmeC)_ci.reading.ma.us or Assistant Town Clerk Julia Rodger
irodger _ci.reading.ma.us
Technology
➢ We have temporarily repaired our voicemail system today by finding a scarce 20yr old part that we needed.
Funding for a new phone system is in the capital plan for FY15 and this repair should be adequate for that
time frame. Apologies for any inconvenience caused for the outage.
Community Services
Planning
➢ Work and public outreach efforts continue for the Zoning Advisory Committee's target date of summer 2014
to complete a draft overhaul of the Zoning Bylaws for the first time in over 80 years. To see continuous
project updates please check out this website: http: //www.vhb.com/readingzoning/. Attached is a letter sent
7AC Town MxtYq
out to Town Meeting members last week: Fkssage_ATH M14.1

13th, along with discussion about a Complete Streets policy and a South Main Street Roadway Diet (Mass
DOT investigating possible realignment of S. Main Street to enhance ped/bike access and other amenities).
Conservation
➢ The State revised a Conservation Restriction on Harold Avenue that was previously signed by the'Board last
November. The revisions are further minor restrictions on the site, and the Board is asked to sign this final
copy tonight.
Health
➢ The Board of Health voted on March 2e to increase from 18 to 21 the minimum age allowed to purchase
tobacco products, effective July 1, 2014. At their Public Hearing they heard from several area businesses
that opposed this change, but in the end the vote was unanimous. The Boards of Health in Melrose,
• Page 3
Wakefield and Winchester have also voted this change; Boards of Health in Malden, Medford and Stoneham
are expected to follow suit this summer.
Human /Elder Services
➢ On April 22`d at 5:30pm at Parker Middle School we will have a Volunteer Appreciation Dinner. Both Rep.
Jones and Dwyer will attend as the do annually. It would be great if a BOS member or two could join us.
➢ We are very pleased to announce that Reading has received a State FY15 Mobility Assistance Grant in the
amount of $46,495 to pay 80% of the cost of a replacement van. The remainder will be funded through a
capital request in the FY15 (or from one of the COA Trust Funds), and there will be some capital funds
leftover that may be needed for a replacement van for Recreation that has suddenly taken a turn for the
worse.
Recreation .
➢ Recreation will be in front of the Board at your next meeting on April 22nd to give an update on their many
activities. Please get in touch with myself or Recreation Administrator John Feudo at
lfeudo _ci.reading.ma.us if there are any specific topics you would like to hear about. One program worth
mentioning is 'already heavily subscribed to' the intergenerational Bingo Night at the Pleasant Street Center
on April 24th from 4 — 5pm.
Veterans
➢ The Veteran's POW/MIA Chair of Honor will be a special guest at this year's Annual Town Meeting, as a
reminder to remember those patriots that have given their service and perhaps their lives to our country.
Finance
➢ The FY15 state budget continues to wend its way through the legislative process. An early aid resolution
from the House and Senate added about $75,000 in state aid to the somewhat low +0.8% figure found in the
governor's budget.
➢ The state will send us $90,880 in one -time Pothole repair funding to be spent by next fall. Further details at:
http: / /www.mma.org[public- works - energy -a- utilities /13136 - cities- tDwns-tp- get - additional -30m- for - road - repairs
➢ There is tentative agreement on the state's Bond Bill — details to follow. It appears that the legislature will
once again fund Chapter 90 with more funds that the Governor will agree to release. We are expecting just
over $600,000 for next year, which is the lower figure that is likely ti happen.
➢ FY14 has seen a fairly heavy projected use of Free Cash, however the Special Town Meeting called for April
2e may lower that amount by $485,000. We are very close to the minimum of 7% Reserves that the
Finance Committee has recently discussed as a target.
➢ In June we will issue permanent debt for the Library building project ($12 million) plus a few other debt -
financed items that need approval from Annual Town Meeting. We expect to issue. ten -year debt, but that
decision will be made depending on market conditions at the time of sale.
➢ Our annual-upgrade of the MUNIS financial software system was completed this past weekend, under the
expert direction of Operations Specialist Gail LaPointe, Town Accountant Sharon Angstrom and Network
Administrator Kevin Furilla. We'll all take several months to get used to the new software look, and do it all
over again next year.
Public Safety
➢ On February 2e we completed our expansion of ALS medications and equipment to all first line fire
apparatus. Engine 1 and Ladder 1 that respond out of the Main Street Fire Station were registered with the
State of Massachusetts as Class 5 Ambulances and now cant' advanced life support equipment and
medications. This completes our expansion of ALS medications and equipment to all fire apparatus. Engine
2 that responds out of the Woburn Street Fire Station has been registered as Class 5 Ambulance for a
number of years.

Public Works
West Street Proiects
Work on West Street continues. Over the next 2+ years there will be a wide variety of contractors
working on various aspects of the project. Weather, crew availability, and issues arising as work
happens all impact planned work schedules. In general, all contractors have been told NOT to block
driveway access unless proper notice is given to the homeowner — our preference is by knocking on the
door well in advance. We will do our best to keep the lines of communication open during this time. One
good resource to use is the Town's website at: http:/ /www.readingma.gov /engineerina-
division /pages/west- street - construction- information.
➢ The West Street Roadway project ad date is scheduled for Aril 260. This date is. subject to the passage of the
transportation bond bill.

the gas services to active customers will be replaced. Work is expected to be completed towards the
beginning of July.
• MWRA — Bid opening date has be extended to April 2e to permit responses to bidder questions. No
additional bid postponement is expected. Construction is expected to begin the beginning of June
and continue for 3 to 4 months.
• The web site will continue to be updated regarding all phases of the projects including proposed
detour routes to the extent possible.
➢ Next week the Board will hear a request from the Town Manager to delegate the authority to him to
establish temporary traffic rules and regulations in the area of the West Street project. The Police
department Executive Officer Dick Robbins will be present to answer any questions — we did this very
successfully during the RMHS construction project. Conditions change more quickly than the
Selectman's meeting schedule does.

Terrace, Putnam Road, Cherry Lane Drive, Balsam Road, Ash Hill Road, Wescroft Road,
Springvale Ave., Coolidge Road, Lisa Lane, Randall Road, and Willow Street (Lowell Street to the
railroad crossing).
Work on Willow Street shall not commence until June after the school year is completed at Austin
Prep. By the end of this week, residents on some of the streets, especially Border Road and Breton
Circle, can expect to see the contractor temporally lowering and burying all manholes and water gates
in preparation for the roads scheduled for reclamation. Residents should expect road closures and
detours while construction is occurring on their street. Construction updates along with detour routes,
and road closures along with the list of streets affected with treatment types, will be posted on the
Engineering Division's webpage.
Other Proiects
➢ Washington Park Improvements: Design is complete and we are in the process of finalizing the bid
documents. Bid date is expected early May with construction to start in June.
➢ Auburn Water Tower Improvements: At April 1 st meeting cell companies agreed to design and pay for new
equipment support system and install project staging for temporary relocation of cell equipment. The
installation of project staging is the only method where cell companies could can temporarily locate during
the project and maintain cell service. Cell companies requested improvements tied to renegotiation of
existing contracts and the participation by Verizon upon successful contract with Town for new equipment
installation. Initial planned Bid opening date of May 15th expected to be delayed 30 to 60 days pending cell
company/Town negotiations and required design modifications of support system and staging to be
performed by the cell companies.

➢ Negotiations on the lease for temporary space are ongoing. When they are complete we will have some
very exciting news to share with the community! The_ visible portion of the project will begin late next
summer and early in the fall, and is expected to last 18 months or so. The new design is both functional
and attractive — details may be found at: http:// www .readingPi.org /about/library- building - program/

on other priorities including curbside and leaf and grass collection five times a year at a
cost of $25,000, with additional fees for parking, Sunday hours at the Library and
additional training. The Board decided to focus on one time expenses since any of the
other issues may not be sustainable over time. The consensus of the Board was to spend
the additional available funds as follows: Police lights and lasers - $3500, training for
Town employees (by putting in the Human Resources Budget) - $25,000. The Town
Manager will develop for staff a list of the professional development programs to be

Section 3.9 Waiver of Retail Sales before 6 a.m.
Section 5.10 of the General Bylaws of the Town of Reading prohibits retail sales prior to
6:00 a.m. It also provides for a process by which the Board of Selectmen may consider allowing
retail sales between the hours of midnight and 6:00 a.m. when the Board determines that
permitting retail sales during those hours is in the interest of public health safety and welfare, or
is in the interest of public necessity or public convenience.
These regulations are adopted by the Board of Selectmen to provide guidance to the
Board of Selectmen, applicants, and the public regarding how applications for waivers from the
restriction on hours of retail sales will be handled.
Each application will be dealt with on a case by case basis. An initial application for a
waiver or hours of retail sales prior to 6 a.m. shall require a public hearing noticed to all property
owners within 300', and by publication in a local newspaper and/or publication on the Town's
web site. Renewal of a waiver shall be required on an annual basis with each waiver expiring on
December 31. The Board of Selectmen shall determine on a case by case basis whether a public
hearing is required for each renewal.
The Board of Selectmen may revoke approval upon receipt of complaints that the
operation is taking place contrary to the approval granted by the Board. Revocation shall be
made only after a public hearing, unless emergency circumstances require an administrative
revocation pending hearing.
The following guidelines are not intended to be a full list of issues to be dealt with by the
Board but are merely guidelines to the applicant:
1. Approval will be granted for businesses within a commercial or industrial zoning district
only.
2. In general, approval shall be for the entire business. For example, if a business dispenses
gasoline, sells coffee, and has a convenience store, all within the same business, then the
approval shall be for all parts of the business.
3. The retail use for which approval of a change in retail hours is permitted will be the
principal use on the property.
4. Written approval of the property owner will be required prior to the Board hearing an
application for a license. This will need to be renewed annually.
5. The • Board may require evidence that the change in permitted hours of retail operation
will have. minimal effect on the neighborhood adjacent to the site.
6. The applicant must show that adequate controls are in place to ensure .public safety and
follow food code sanitation protocols.
7. No waiver of the hours of retail sales will be considered for prior to 5 am Monday
through Friday. No waivers shall be. considered for Saturdays. Sundays. or State
Designated legal holidays.
8. The Board may limit the use of outdoor speakers, drive - thru's, and/or restrict parking in
certain areas in order to limit the impact of the waiver on .neighboring properties. In
order to address these issues, the Board may require a site plan from applicants, drawn to
scale, and showing locations of these features and their relation to abutting residential
buildings.
9. Prior to the issuance of a waiver on the hours of retail sales, the Board may request a
review by the Health Division, Police Department, and the Building/Zoning Inspection
Division and proof that all necessary approvals, permits, and other licenses needed to
operate have been issued.
(1�1;) Clp1l
10. A waiver to allow retail uses prior to 6 a.m. is not a waiver of any other bylaw or
regulation of the Town of:Reading or other agency having jurisdiction.
11. Parking lot cleaning,-and other maintenance operations (excluding emergency work), and
deliveries shall not take place between the hours of 9:00 PM and 7:00 am. Rubbish
collection and recycling shall not take place between 9:00 PM and 6:30 am.
