Note: Labor Counsel Tim Norris and Fire Chief William Martineau were present. Collective Bargaining Labor Counsel Tim Norris explained the procedure and process of the JMLC arbitration hearing before the Tri-partie panel. The panel makes an award with respect to the issues submitted to arbitration. A tentative agreement was reached at the hearing but will not be finalized until the parties agree to the written panel award. Attorney Norris drafted a draft language of a panel award to present to the union attorney Paul Hynes. Attorney Hynes disagreed with several issues Attorney Norris said if the JMLC does not rule on the Minimum Manning clause and it is not addressed in the award, the Town still has the right to take a position that it is no longer in the contract. Attorney Norris' recommendation is subsequent to receiving the formal JLMC award, to draft a merged contract that specifically excludes the Minimum Staffing language. At that point, the Union could choose to pursue the matter at some legal level. Attorney Norris strongly recommended not signing any new contract that has a Minimum Manning clause. He also suggested that the Board refrain from talking with firefighters about the contract or JMLC award that would just create a chaotic situation. Daniel Lanen made a MOTION, seconded by Rosemary Smedile, to move out of Executive Session. Vote approved 5-0. ADJOURMENT: Respectfully submitted, Adele J.

My wife Kathleen and I have been North Andover residents since 2001. Our two boys are in first and third grade at Kitteredge School and our daughter will join them next year. I have been seeking an opportunity to volunteer in service to the town and I look forward to doing so as a member of the Board of Health. Frank MacMillan initially informed me of the vacancy on the Board and I have since had the opportunity to speak with Tom Trowbridge regarding the scope of the Board's activities,the time commitment required to serve on the Board and other relevant details. Since 1997 I have been a corporate lawyer, first at Testa,Hurwitz&Thibeault LLP in Boston, and since 2005 at Brown Rudnick LLP,also in Boston,where I am currently a partner in the Business Practice group. Brown Rudnick is an international law firm of more than 250 lawyers with offices in Boston,New York,London, Washington D.C., Hartford and Providence. Throughout my career I have represented emerging growth,high technology companies and the venture capital investors that fund these entities. My largest current client,Hologic,Inc., headquartered in Bedford,Massachusetts, is a leading developer,manufacturer and supplier of diagnostics products,medical imaging systems and surgical products dedicated to serving the healthcare needs of women. During my thirteen years in corporate practice, I've represented a number of health care and life science related companies and believe that the experience gained as an advocate for these clients will add valuable perspective in helping the town's Board of Health execute its responsibilities. I consider myself a thoughtful and deliberate decision maker who will appropriately debate important issues, adequately assess differing points of view and work hard to build consensus. I think that my professional background leaves me well positioned to make a meaningful contribution to the Board and I hope that I am given the opportunity to do so as I do believe i firmly that the time has come for me to give back to our town. I would be happy to discuss my background with you further or provide any other additional information you may require. For your information, I have attached a copy of my professional credentials as they appear at Brown Rudnick's web site at www.brownrudnick.com. Thank you for your consideration.

All are available in signed record form,which will be provided pursuant to a decision by the Board of Selectmen to accept these facilities through these documents. Please schedule an appearance before the Board of Selectmen as soon as possible to review and consent to the acceptance of these facilities, as these systems are already accepting use by residents outside of the development known as Meetinghouse Commons at Smolak Farms, and therefore should be under the control of the Town through the DPW. The station has been reviewed by DPW and outside consultants (Weston and Sampson), and we have agreed with DPW to provide the requested enhancements to the facilities as outlined in separate correspondence to Bruce Thibedeau, Director of Public Works. It should be understood that none of the requested items relate to deficiencies relative to the planned and agreed construction and functional details or condition of these facilities, but rather are enhancements or upgrades requested now which were not planned for in the original specifications, which were also rigorously reviewed by the Town and it's outside consultants prior to installation. Thanks for your help with this process. Please let me know if you need anything further or have any questions, and also please confirm a date for an agenda position with the Board of Selectmen. Sincerely, mas D. Zahoruiko, Manager Meetinghouse Commons LLC Attachments (8): 1. Consent and Acknowledgement of Subordination, Salem Five Cents Savings Bank; 2.

In anticipation of the acceptance of the Sewer Line and Pump Station, in December, 2009, the Department of Public Works had its consulting engineers, Weston & Sampson CMR, Inc., make an inspection of the pump station. Weston & Sampson provided a report to the Department of Public Works listing several deficiencies which required additional work, at an estimated cost of$5,500.00. In addition, the Department of Public Works required that a paved driveway be installed to provide access to the pump station. A letter was sent to Mr. Zahoruiko by Dennis Bedrosian, Plant Superintendent, on December 9, 2009, describing the work to be done. On December 17, 2009, Mr. Zahoruiko responded to DPW Director Bruce Thibodeau that he had reviewed the Weston & Sampson report and letter from Mr. Bedrosian, and indicating that he would do the necessary work, with the paving of the driveway to be completed no later than July, 2010. Copies of the Weston & Sampson report and the above-referenced letters are enclosed for your reference. To date, none of the work has been completed, but we have been informed by counsel to Mr. Zahoruiko that he has ordered some necessary parts and will commence work after the Town agrees to accept the easements and pump station. As you know, it is the usual practice of the Town to require that all infrastructure work be completed by a developer before it is accepted by the Town. After acceptance, the Town is responsible for maintenance and repair of the facilities, wAwpS l\work\n-andove\correep\selec[men.chm hr-meetinghouse.doc URBELIS&FIELDSTEEL,LLP April 9, 2010 Page 2 and must hire contractors to do the work in compliance with public construction laws, including payment of prevailing wages. Mr. Zahoruiko has stated his preference to complete the work himself, rather than provide funds for the Town to do the work, because he believes that he can complete the work at a lower cost than the Town, but requests that the Board of Selectmen agree to accept the easements and pump station before he completes the work. It is our understanding that the Department of Public Works recommends this arrangement for conditional acceptance and completion of the work by July 1, 2010. If the Board of Selectmen agrees to conditionally accept the easements, as requested by Mr. Zahoruiko, and allow him to complete the necessary work, we have prepared the enclosed Vote which provides that the Board of Selectmen conditionally accept the Assignment of Sewer Easement and Rights to Pump Station, and the Water and Sewer Easement in Meetinghouse Road, but that the acceptance shall not be effective, and shall not be signed or recorded by the Board of Selectmen until the work is completed before July 1, 2010.

Bedrosian, Plant Superintendent to Mr. Thomas Zahoruiko, dated December 9, 2009, and on the further condition that all of said work shall be completed before July 1, 2010, and that counsel for Meetinghouse Commons, LLC shall provide current certifications of title upon completion of the work. i i s-\%vp5I\work\n-andove\mist\proposed vote-meetinghouse doc North Andover , Massachusetts ;valuation of the Meeting House Road Pump Station December 2009 I I W 16W&WOM soy CMR INC.

Salisbury [Charlie @Salisbury.org] Sent: Monday, April 12, 2010 4:22 PM To: Rees, Mark Cc: Bradshaw, Joyce; Brown, Gerald Subject: If the warrant is re-opened ... Mark, Gerry Brown has decided that the current Article 34 (which proposes to amend the Zoning Bylaw for single and/or two-family non-conforming use buildings) is NOT"ready for prime time" at this year's Town Meeting—and he would choose to withdraw it, if the warrant should be re-opened. If so, can you arrange for the selectmen to vote to delete it from the warrant, before closing and signing it? Otherwise, if the warrant is not re-opened, this article will be dispatched by a motion to"Take no action" on the floor of Town Meeting.

Due to the fact that we are continuing to deal with budget constraints, I continue to be creative in trying to make the pond self-sufficient. I have taken a hard look at how to provide a great resource at a reasonable expense to its users. My recommendation will reflect this struggle. The following are the revenue and expenses over the past eight years. Year Revenue Expenses +/- 2002 $27,495.00 $46,680.34 -$19,185.34 2003 $28,136.00 $42,344.81 -$14,208.81 2004 $29,234.00 $43,123.92 -$13,889.92 2005 $32,013.00 $41,137.55 -$9,124.55 2006 $27,899.00 $44,610.49 -$16,711.49 2007 $25,028.00 $43,730.05 -$18,701.98 2008 $28,823.00 $35,482.74 -$6,659.74 2009 $25,849.00 $ 34,138.66 -$8,289.69 Stevens Pond is presently staffed by one Director, one Assistant Director and eight lifeguards. Our Director earns $16.00 per hour and our Assistant Director earns $13.00 per hour. Our lifeguards earn between$10.00 per hour and$12.50 per hour. In 2003 the Board of Selectman voted to set the starting lifeguard wage at$10.00 per hour. The Staffing is comparative to most communities and any reduction of staff would present safety concerns. We also hire gate attendants at$8.00 per hour. Gate attendants check permits, sell daily passes and monitor the parking and concession areas. The Pond contracts for weed removal and prevention. This work,which is done under the Department of Public works, must be done on a yearly basis. Weed removal has not been done in three years and must be done prior to opening in 2010. Stevens Pond Renovations: We are very happy to announce what renovations have been completed and what we are still working on. June 2008: Completion of brand new bath house, which includes guard shack, bathrooms, outdoor showers, deck and storage area. June 2008: Construction of new picnic tables July 2008: Construction of brand new playground August 2008: Installation of new flagpole June 2009: Purchase of new docks,rafts and equipment I Long Term: New fencing, and improvement to parking area. Hopefully June 2010 Staffing: Pond Director Kathy Lyons Stagno will be returning for her fourth year and we will be hiring one guard as Asst. Director. It is recommended that staff numbers remain the same as previous years. All lifeguards will be properly certified. Department of Public Works: It is recommended that DPW continue to offer services in the following areas: prepare for opening by assisting with set-up pond(clean up, weed removal, sweeping parking lot, raking sand, cutting grass, cutting bushes along Stevens Street, adding sand.) We also need trash pick-up three times a week, along with normal cutting and maintenance throughout the summer. Selling of Permits and Swimming Lessons: Upon approval of the Board of Selectman, the Youth Center is prepared to sell all permits and swimming lessons, along with all other programming. This will be done Monday thru Friday 9:00am-5:00pm. Once the pond is open, residents will purchase the services directly at the pond during normal operation hours. The Youth&Recreation Services will begin to immediate marketing of the pond including flyers to every school child and advertising in the Eagle Tribune and North Andover Citizen. Information will also be put on the town website, Youth Center website and local cable channel. Special Circumstances: As in the past accommodations will be arranged for residents with financial hardships. In 2009 we had 10 season passes and 4 swim lessons that were issued to families that requested financial assistance. These families will be asked to provide minimal documentation to support their request. Hours of Operations: ,? I recommend that the pond be open Monday June 21St thru Friday August Nth. Hours will be 9:30am to 7:00pm Monday thru Sunday BLUE CROSS/BLUE SHIELD:BLUE CREW CLEANUP DAY We will be looking to have this community service project done in late May 2010.
