RE: Stop Sign Placement—Winter Street
Date: January 28, 2010
North Andover Police Department is requesting the Board of Selectmen authorize a stop
sign be placed facing the dead-end portion of Winter St. and the intersection of South
Bradford St. as soon as possible. The intersection is currently a three-way stop and this
would make it four-way.
When this intersection was originally designated three-way the dead end portion of
Winter Street had only two homes and was treated more as a driveway. Today there are
four homes and the street has been improved and surfaced and is clearly a public way.
Although the residents stop when they approach the intersection people unfamiliar with it
tend to drive straight through which if perfectly legal.
Drivers approaching on South Bradford, the busier street, assume traffic on Winter Street
has to stop also. Recently a trash truck came barreling through the intersection from
Winter St., legally, to the surprise of another motorist who started to drive through
assuming the ti Lick had a stop sign also. This is not the only such incident.
This should be posted as soon as possible to avoid a tragedy, there is no change in any
traffic pattern and the number of people impacted is minimal. The DPW Director is in
agreement with this from an engineering standpoint. Please let me know if you need any
further information, photographs or an officer to discuss this with the Board

To the Board of Selectmen:
On January 20, 2010, 1 received a phone call from Linda Griggs. Miss Griggs
works at 60 Ashland Street(Kody & Company, Inc.) and has requested that the Town of
North Andover designate a parking spot in front of her place of work or across the street
from her work-as a"handicap parking only" space. Miss Griggs and her co-workers must
find parking on the street as there are no spots for their company in the rear lot. There is
no access to their office from the rear of the building either.
I have spoken with staff from the Town Manager's Office, Jim Lyons (Chairman
of the Commission on Disabilities), Donald Stewart, Lt. Carney, Sgt. Soucy, and Sgt.
Crane on the possibility of having this accomplished. It was suggested that I present a
Letter to the Board of Selectmen to seek approval for this.
I have enclosed two pictures. The first picture is of parking spots currently across
from 60 Ashland St. The second photo is a picture of 60 Ashland St. I have placed an X
next to the two places which I feel would be the best locations for the requested spot.
I have also enclosed Miss Grigg's business card and copy of her Disabled Persons
Parking Identification Placard.
I appreciate your time and consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Officer Mark M. Wilson

RE: Beijing Restaurant Incident#2009-16272
DATE: August 14, 2009
On August 13, 2009 at 12:38am Officer William Brush was on patrol in the area of Osgood
Street/Holt Road. Officer Brush observed a man running on the side of the road and conducted
a field interview. The officer had seen the same.person approximately twenty minutes earlier
in the parking lot of the Beijing Restaurant 1250 Osgood Street. During the interview of the
subject, Officers Brush and now present Officer Brendan Gallagher, ascertained he was "highly
intoxicated". Subsequently the man was placed into protective custody of the North Andover
Police Department for his safety.
Sergeant Michael Davis and the two officers, during station processing, overheard the subject
state he had been drinking all night at the Beijing and had several beers and a Mai Tai (oriental
alcoholic beverage).
The Beijing Restaurant 1250 Osgood Street has an All Beverage License ABCC#0826009 from
the North Andover Licensing Commission. As an agent of the Commissioners I contacted the
Beijing Restaurant on August 13,2009 at 2:30pm via telephone. I spoke to manager, David
Young, pertaining to this new incident and the prior one of July 16, 2009 (Report#2009-14259)
the arrest of two separate alleged drunk drivers that had consumed alcoholic beverages at the
establishment prior to their arrest. Mr. Young said he would look into it and speak to his
bartenders and security. I inquired if he had the recommended video system at the restaurant
per the security plan. He stated they had. Mr., Young was informed that I would be reporting
this matter to the Licensing Commissioners and something must be done. He said if a meeting
was requested he could translate to the ownership. (evidently there is a language issue). I then
asked if Mr. David Yue was available as I have often spoken to him over the years. Mr. Young
stated that Mr. Yue is no longer involved at all in the operation of the Beijing.
566 MAIN STREET,NORTH ANDOVER,MASSACHUSETTS 01845-4099
Telephone:978-683-3168 • Fax:978-685-0249
After the telephone conversation, I sent two North Andover Police detectives, Detective Sean
Daley and Thomas Donovan,to the Beijing Restaurant. I told them, as licensing agents, to go to
the Beijing Restaurant and review the video of last evening to see if the person placed in
protective custody had been drinking there. They were given the booking photograph of that
individual.
The detectives arrived at the restaurant at 3:00pm and spoke to Mr.Young and relayed my
request. Mr. Young did not know if the video was working and would check with the owners.
Another employee told the officers that he did not believe the system was operating.
We will follow-up concerning the video. The Licensing Commissioners may wish to conduct an
inquiry of these two incidents. The North Andover Police Department will have the officers
available. Currently we have requested extra police "liquor checks" and assistance from the
enforcement section of the ABCC.

RE: Millennium Eatery D.B.A. Beijing Restaurant Incidents
DATE: July 16, 2009
On July 16, 2009 at 1:10am and 1:27am the North Andover Police Department arrested two
individuals for "Operating Under The Influence Of Intoxicating Liquor". These were separate
incidents. Both operators had been drinking at the Beijing Restaurant prior to their respective
arrests according to the investigation by the officers. The Beijing Restaurant 1250 Osgood
Street has an all beverage license ABCC#0826009 from the Town of North Andover.
Per our protocol with the North Andover Licensing Commissioners, and acting on their behalf as
licensing agents, I am reporting the following incidents;
At 1:10am Officer Jason Wedge was at a traffic accident when he observed a vehicle being
operated on Sutton Street with two flat tires. He stopped the car and after his observations
and sobriety testing arrested the operator. The operator made the following comment "You
guys are totally right I shouldn't be driving, I actually had more than I should have, 3 scotch and
waters. I normally wouldn't be driving in this condition coming from the Beijing. I wouldn't
consider driving any further than Methuen". NAPD Incident#2009-14259
At 1:27am Officer William Brush was called back to the police station for a car idling in the fire
.lane of the police parking lot. Officer Brush inquired of the operator if he was feeling alright.
The operator reported he was "all set". The officer could smell intoxicating liquor and believed
the operator had been drinking. After the officer's observations and testing he arrested the
operator.
Due to the same time period of the two arrests the two operators saw each other in the
booking area. The first operator stated the second operator was at the Beijing Restaurant too
and had bought drinks for the first operator. The first arrestee also stated that they were
worried about the second arrestee driving and tried to get him a ride home.
The two officers and their supervisor, Sgt. Michael Davis will make them available if the
Commissioners request.

On 7/16/2009 at 1:10 A.M. while directing traffic for a accident at 90 Sutton St in full uniform I observed MA
52YK60 approaching me with 2 flat tires on the drivers side of the vehicle. I stopped the vehicle and spoke
with the operator later identified a I asked Miss he knew that she
had 2 flat tires. Misstated that she didn't, but she did spin out and went off the road further up Sutton
St near McEvoy field. I then observed a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from her person, glassy
bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. I asked Mis94l�how much she had to drink and she stated 3 scotch
and waters. Officer Knab arrived on scene, I asked Mis to step from her vehicle so I can perform a
field test to determine if she would be able to operate a ve Icle safely. Miss stated.�you guys are
probly totally right I shouldn't be driving." "I actually had more than I should have 3 scotch and waters, I
normally wouldn't be driving in this condition coming from the Beijing." "I wouldn't consider driving any further
than Methuen.
Miss stepped from her vehicle and was unsteady on her feet. I asked her to step to the rear of her
vehicle which she did. At the time of the test Mis as wearing high heels which she agreed to take
off. She was also wearing a black tank top with a skirt. The area is well lit, flat surface and free from debris
with a clearly visible solid white line. I asked Misses if she had any medical condition that we should
know about. Miss stated that she has a equilibrium problem, but it will not prevent her from taking the
test.
Test 1 Alphabet: I demonstrated the test for Miss, I then asked Miss"111111110o recite the alphabet
which she did correctly however she had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from her person,
glassy bloodshot eyes and slurred speech.
,n•
Test 2 One leg stand: I demonstrated the test for Miss�then asked Mis�to begin the test,
MissI14RINWput her arms out about 12 inches away from her body raised her left leg about 3 inches off the
ground Miss started to hop several times then lost her balance almost falling over. I asked,Miffs
cif she would like to take the test again she stated No I can't keep my balance.
Test 3 walk and turn: I instructed Miss11111FAMW put her right foot in front of her left foot touchin heel to toe.
Missj�put her left foot in front of her right foot lost her balance almost falling over. Miss then
started the test on her own with out my instructions. Miss4obwas placing her right foot in front of her left
foot with out touching heel to toe and with her arms 12 inches away from her body. I told Miss~ that she
was not supposed to start the test until I told her to, however she continued the test. Miss 41INM was not
counting out loud and had fallen off the line on her 3rd step with about 4 inches between her heel to toe. Miss
then stopped and stated I don't have any balance right now.
Test 4 Horizontal gaze nystagmus: has a lack of smooth pursuit in both the left and right eyes
and a distinct nystagmus at max deviation. this test was performed twice to each eye.
After my observation I formed an opinion through my training and experience that MisA�was operating a
motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. I informed Mis that she was being placed under
arrest for 90/24 OUI liquor and 90/7 defective equipment. Trombly's towing was notified and towed the vehicle.
Officer Knab took an inventory of the vehicle. Mist was placed into handcuffs and double locked for

Attached please find a cover memo from Lt. Paul Gallagher regarding another

intoxicated" and the process to allow him to be served approximately three more drinks.

RE: Beijing Restaurant Incident# 2010'3512
DATE: February 8, 2010
| have been notified by Sergeant Michael Davis that on February 6, 2010 at I:06arn
Officers EricSevvade and [hristmpherSnnedi|e conducted a field interview in the Beijing
Restaurant perking lot. They had observed a male, which had been a customer of the
restaurant, throwing ice about the lot. The officers determined the man was "extremely
intoxicated" and lived in Sandoxvn, NH. He did not have transportation and was becoming
belligerent due to his intoxication. The subject was placed in the protective custody by the
officers. The officers also conducted an interview with the Beijing Restaurant manager, Victor
Ng. Mr. Ng stated the man was a "little bit intoxicated" when he arrived at the establishment.
The officers asked if he had been served any alcoholic beverages and Mr. Ng replied "probably
three drinks". (See officer's reports)
It is my understanding that Mr. Ng is the new General Manager and serving alcohol to an
already intoxicated person could be e violation of K4GL Chapter 138 Section 89 "No alcoholic
beverage shall be sold or delivered on any premises licensed under this chapter to an
intoxicated person"
The North Andover Police Department, acting as agents of the Licensing Commissioners,
will have the officers available if requested.

I Officer Chris Smedile report the following:
On Saturday February 6, 2010 at 1:06 am, while on patrol in a fully marked cruiser, I and my partner Officer
Sewade approached Beijing Restaurant on Route 125. Upon approaching the Beijing Restaurant, we noticed a
white male outside the restaurant throwing ice in the parking-lot. When we approached the subject we asked
him what he was doing. The subject stated he was left without a ride. The subject appeared extremely
intoxicated (strong odor of alcoholic beverage on his breathe, slurring of speech, and glassy look in eyes).
Officer Sewade and I asked if he had a sober ride home and the subject stated "no." Officer Sewade and I
waited for the subject to call a ride, after many failed attempts to connect with a ride, Officer Sewade radioed
dispatch to call a cab from Haverhill. While awaiting the cab, we asked the subject to produce I.D. at the time,
he produced a valid New Hampshire license with the name t re-entered into the
Beijing restaurant to see if they had a cell phone charger and to use the bathroom. When he was informed he
must leave the property. began to be restless and belligerent towards Officer Sewade and an employee at
the restaurant. At that time, we informed Ab he was being placed in protective custody and that he was not
under arrest. The subject complied and was handcuffed and placed in cruiser. was transported to
the North Andover Police Station where he was booked and afforded all rights by Sgt Davis.
Prior to being placed in the cell, the subject was asked to remove his shoes, where upon Officer Sewade
located a yellow paper folded up containing a blue powdery substance, which we believe to be Adderall. This
was confiscated and placed in Locker 008 to be tested by detectives. Sargent was released to friend,
Charges for the drug possession are pending.

To: Members of the North Andover Board of Selectmen and Finance Committee
Beginning in November of 2009 and concluding in January of 2010 the Board of Selectmen engaged in a
public and rigorous discussion on the development of the Budget Policy Statement as required by Section
9-2-3 of the North Andover Town Charter (See Appendix A). The Town Manager's Recommended j
FYI I General Fund Budget attempts, to the extent possible, to adhere to the guidelines established in the
budget policy statement.
With one notable exception to be explained later,this budget message uses the same format as in previous
years with a review of estimated revenues, an examination of non-departmental costs and an explanation
of operating budget allocations.
REVENUES
Budget Policy Statement: 177 order to maintain frnar?cial stability, the SeleCtmen advocate the Toivra
follow a conservative financial policy regarding revertate budgeting. The operath7g budget shall be based
upon realistic estimates of predictable sustainable revenues.
The development of the revenue portion of this budget has been greatly assisted by the work of the
Revenue and Fixed Cost Committee' which reviewed each revenue line item and developed estimates for
FYI 1. With a few exceptions, this budget follows the revenue projections put forward by the Revenue
and Fixed Cost Committee.
Property Taxes: Property Taxes constitute 76% of North Andover's Operating Revenue. The amount of
funds that can be generated through this revenue source is governed by Proposition 2 %2,the state law that
regulates how much property taxes can be collected by a municipality. The operative variable impacting
the FYI I Budget is "new growth" which allows a city or town to increase its tax levy beyond the 2 %2
Percent allowed by Proposition 2 %2 due to new construction. Because of the protracted nature of the
current recession, the FY11 budget projects $500,000 in `new growth' revenue. In FYIO, the Town
' The Revenue and Fixed Cost Committee was established by bylaw to provide recommendations to the Town
Manager regarding estimated revenues and fixed costs for the upcoming budget year. The committee consists of
two members of the Finance Conunittee,the School Superintendent or his designee and the Town
Accountant/Budget Director.
generated $623,715 in `new growth' property taxes, but that was due in part by an aggressive effort by the
Board of Assessors to identify personel property tax accounts, which cannot be repeated in FY 11. lu
FY09, the new growth amount was $532,807. Prior to the recession, the Town routinely generated
$900,000 annual in new growth revenue.

Local Receipts: This category of revenues includes a variety of fees, charges, local taxes and
miscellaneous revenue sources and provides for 11.4% of the Town's revenues. The largest component
in this revenue category is motor vehicle excise taxes, which due to the economy is projected to be
$3,700,000; equal to the amount expected to be collected in FY10, but 5% below the $3,900,000
originally budgeted. All other local receipts are estimated to be at or slightly above amounts expected to
be collected in FY10 and consistent with the recommendations of the Revenue and Fixed Cost
Committee. The only exception is interest income which based on year to date postings is estimated to
come in at$400,000; $110,000 more then estimated by the Revenue and Fixed Cost Committee.

State Aid: Budget Police StateMent: There has been a reda7cti077 in state aid fo7° the p7407- two fiscal
veal's. There is nothing to indicate at this tine that there hill be an increase in state aid 177 the
foreseeable fwure, in fact, there n7ay 1,e7-J) well be a decline in state aid.fr the third straight year.
Because of the 1177certailaty of state aid i77 future years, estimating this revenue should be conservative....
Over the past year there have been major changes in how state aid is defined, funded and allocated. What
is now called "Unrestricted General Government Aid" used to be called "Lottery Aid" and "Additional
Assistance". In FY10, Chapter 70 (education) Aid was first increased, then decreased and then
ultimately supplemented with Federal Stimulus money. The Governor's Budget which was issued after
the work of the Revenue and Fixed Cost Committee provided for a level funding of Unrestricted General
Government Aid at $1,805,628 and for Chapter 70 to be funded at $6,470,012 which equals the FY10
Chapter 70 allocation of$5,440,937 plus the stimulus grant of$1,029,075. The Revenue and Fixed Cost
committee recommended budgeting for a 10% decrease in these two line items. The budget submitted by
the Governor is often revised by the state legislature before it is finally adopted. In recognition that the
Governor's budget does provide for more finding then predicted by the Revenue and Fixed Cost
Committee, this budget charts a middle ground by recommending Unrestricted General Government Aid
be budgeted at $1,715,347, a 5% reduction from FY10 levels and that Chapter 70 aid be budgeted at an
amount equal to the FYI allocation, exclusive of the stimulus grant, or$5,440,937,
Operating Transfers and Other Budgeting Sources: Budget Policy Statement: A basic te77ant of n7u77icipal
budgeting is that operational expenses should equal operating revenues i77 order to achieve a structurally
bala77ced budget. In FY10, the Torvn's General Fund budget was structurally unbalanced ivith operating
expenses exceeding operating revenues by$1.2 million. YT717ile this is an i777provement over FY09 ivhere
the difference ivas $2.4 million, every effort should be made to develop a budget that is sb•uct 17-ally
bala77ced
For the first time in many years,the Recommended FYI Budget is structurally balanced. No Free Cash,
Overlay Surplus, Health Insurance Fund Surpluses or other one time only ftnlding sources are used to
balance this budget.
Operating Transfers or funds from the Town's three enterprise funds to pay for administrative overhead,
insurance and employee benefits are projected to increase $1,118,554 to $1,126,621 or 0.72%. A review
of the indirect cost plan is currently being undertaken which may result in these amounts being changed.

Debt Service: Budget Policy Statement: The Selectmen are committed to continuing the czn-rent CIP
Pt°ogrcmt and to maintaining debt service levels ivithin the,fincmcial policy of 3 -5% of net operating
revenues. This reflects the Selectmen's concern that delaying maintenance on existing assets will result
in higher costs in fitture years.
Proposition 2 % Excluded Debt is declining fi•om $3,238,982 in FY10 to $3,168,569 in FYI I as debt
associated with the high school continues to be paid off. Non-excluded debt or debt that must be funded
within the limitations of Proposition 2 % is increasing fi-onn $3,409,070 to $3,744,091 as the full debt
service associated with the Police Station and the Pre-School Facility begins to be realized. The debt
service to net revenues ratio of 5% is still within the financial guidelines used by the Town. Additional
information regarding debt service can be found in the Town Manager's Recommended Capital
Improvement Plan for FYI 1-15.

FY04 FY05 FY06 FY07 FY08 FY09 FY10 FYI
Retirement Assessment: The Essex Regional Retirement System has informed the Town that it can
anticipate a $207,255 increase (7.98%) in FYI l for a total of$2,803,785. This money is used to offset a
portion of the unfunded liability for municipal employees who have previously retired. Given the
significant reduction ill the value of the system's investment portfolio, one would expect that the
assessment to be greater then this 8% increase. However, the Essex Regional Retirement System has
informed the town that under their operating procedures which only require actuarial updates every three
years, the loss of portfolio value will not impact assessments until FY2012. hi order to moderate this
future anticipated large increase in assessments, the Governor has filed legislation that would extend the
funding period to eliminate the unfunded liability by an additional ten years.
Group Health Insurance: The Town's appropriation to the Health Insurance Trust fiord to pay for its
portion of employee health insurance costs is recommended to increase fi-onn $6,847,527 to $9,000,419 or
a 31% increase. The magnitude of this increase is a result of last year drawing down the surplus in the
Health Insurance Trust Fund by $1.8 million dollars through reducing the town appropriation to the trust
fund by a similar amount. When one factors back in this $1.8 million dollars into last years appropriation,
the actual increase in the town appropriation is 4% ($9,000,419/$6,847,527-1-$1,800,000) reflecting a
decline in the growth of our health insurance claims. ( See page 32 )
State Assessments; State assessments are payments made to the state for a variety of regional programs
that the town participates in, such as the Mosquito Control District and Regional Transit Authorities and
to reimburse state for services provided to municipalities. In FYI I, based on the Governor's
recommended budget, the total state assessment is expected decline by 6.42% from $2,336,140 in FYI O
to $2,186,218 in FYI 1. Driving this reduction is a decrease in the Retired Teachers Health Insurance
Assessment from $1,883,555 to $1,713,623.
Capital and Reserves : $300,000 is recommended to be placed in the overlay account in FYI 1. In FYI 0,
$905,000 was effectively transferred to the Town's Stabilization fund in order to address concerns from
the Town's bond rating firm about inadequate reserve levels in the General Fund. This resulted in the
Town's reserves increasing from $1,264,536 to $2,193,975 or 2.93% of operating expenses.
Unfortunately, even with this infusion of money into the Stabilization fund, the Town was not able to
avoid having a warning placed on our bond rating since we are still not at the 5-10% level of reserves
deemed necessary by the financial markets. As we embark upon the FYI I budget process, consideration
Should be given if additional funds become available to placing some of those funds into our stabilization
fiord.
OPERATING EXPENSES
School/Municipal Allocation Budget Policy Statemmt: The Town has operated for' the past several years
under a budget convention that allocates revenues beAveen the North Andover Public Schools and North
Andover municipal ope7'ati077S Using this basic 07-Mula: Total Revel?ues'plots `Other Finance?g Sources'
less `Non-DepartmeWal Costs' equal `Funds Available for Operating Ex7)e77ses'. Funds available for
operating expenses are then initially split between the School Department and Municipal Departments on
a 213i" (66.6%) 113i" (33.3%) basis. ...in recent years this convention has slowly changed in favor• of the
School Department. Tf e must avoid continued School Department increases at the expense on Municipal
operations and uo'ge return to the 213ir71113'`7 (ratio) (or lesser based on needs) split within a prudel?t
number of budget cycles.
Total Revenues and Other Financing Sources is projected to equal $76,758,098 and Non-Departmental
Costs are estimated to be $22,871,449 leaving a balance of $53,886,648 available for Operating
Expenses, an increase of$184,000 or one third of one percent (0.34%) If the current ratio of 68% of
funds available for operations going to the School Department and 32% going to municipal operations
were to be carried over into FYI 1, then the School Department would receive $125,099 of the available
funds and the municipal departments would receive $58,871. Should the ratio return immediately to
2/3`x/ UP the School Department would see a decrease of $596,910 in funding while the municipal
departments would see an increase of $755,491. In compliance with the Budget Policy Statement, this
budget recommends that a `prudent number of budget cycles' to return to 2/3"'/l/3"' be five years. Under
that calculation the School allocation is recommended to be $36,520,000 (rounded up) or basically level
funded at last years amount and the municipal budget be set at $17,366,648 or an increase of$181,719 of
the FYI projected budget. (See page 15)
z The$1.8 million dollars made available by reducing the appropriation to the Health Insurance Trust fund was used
to 1) increase the stabilization fund by$905,000 and 2)to balance the operating budget.
Consolidation of Support Services Budget Policy Statement: Rec0g17izi77g that the toiiw must become
7rtwe efficient to szn vivo din-ing these dill cull times, the School Committee and the Board of Selectme77
sitccessfilllt� combined several functions over the past trvo years to recluce overlap and increase
efficiencies....ive suggest that the Towwn Alanage7• in preparing his recommended FYI budget provicle an
alternative bztdgel format that places these consolidated operations into clistinct buclget categories...rve
urge that...consideration be given to fzmcling of a schoolhr7zn7icipal.facilities director...
The Town Manager's Recommended Budget has been prepared using two formats or options. The first
format Option A, (See pages 16- 18) is the same format that has been used in previous years, while
Option B (See pages 19-22) breaks out the costs associated with Outside Auditing, Purchasing,
Information Systems and Structures and Grounds that were previously budgeted in the respective School
or Municipal Department Budgets, and combines them into four separate departments under the new
budget category of Support Services with a total budget of$5,132,1 1 1.
The largest Support Services Department under Option B is Structures and Grounds with a budget of
$4,118,108. The recommended Town Manager's budget makes the assumption that with a budget in
excess of$4 million dollars, through greater efficiency and economies of scale that sufficient funds could
be found to pay for a Facilities Manager without having to increase the consolidated budget for this
department. It should be recognized, that unlike the Purchasing and Information Technology
Departments that have been successfully consolidated, at this stage a combined Structures and Grounds
Department is only a budget concept, with considerable work to be done to implement it. To that end,
similar to what occurred when the Information Technology Department was created, a working group of
school and Municipal administrators and residents be immediately established to review current
operations, look at other communities that have successfully consolidated facility maintenance and
develop a course of action to establish this support department in North Andover.

Twenty Seventh Payroll Every seven years, due to the uneven nature of our calendar, North Andover
has an extra payroll period beyond the normal 26 payroll periods in the other six years. To address the
budget aspects of this 27"' payroll, it is recommended that salaried employees (both Non-union and Union
employees) have their annual base salary divided by 27 pay periods rather then 26. The result would be
that the employees would receive slightly less in their bi-weekly pay check but, because of the 27"'
payroll, they would still be paid their annual salary. Hourly employees would continue to be paid based
on the actual number of hours worked. (See Page 23) for details on the 27 payroll matter.
Municipal Budgets: Most of these budgets were level funded; however, some were increased or
decreased slightly as follows:
Town Clerk- Increased by 12.56% to pay for three scheduled elections in FYI 1, compared to one
scheduled election in FYI 0.
Police Department—Funds to purchase 4 police vehicles were included in the recommended budget, but
overtime was reduced from $417,793 in FY10 to $ 399,521 in FYI ] which may negatively impact
staffing levels in FYI 1.
Fire Department— Similar to the Police Department, overtime has been reduced from $732,913 in FYI
to $675,907 in FYI 1, which may also negatively impact staffing levels.
Department of Public Works -Streets and Sidewalks — Funding for small drainage improvement projects
and contract services was reduced.
Veterans Services- hlcreased benefit claims is resulting in the department's budget increase in FYI 1.
Stevens Library— Funded at the mininnuli required to be certified by the state and thus eligible for state
aid to libraries.
Stevens Estate- The Stevens Estate Subsidy is anticipated to decrease to $40,000 for FYI 1, down from
$91,380 in FYI and $196,295 in FY09
Conclusion:
The Town Manager's Recommended General Budget should be considered the starting point in the
budget deliberations that will ultimately result in a budget being approved at the May 11, 2010 Annual
Town Meeting. Between now and then, budget assumptions and estimates are certain to change, some
with positive results and some with negative results. Throughout this budget development process, we
are committed to working with the various boards and committees involved to bring forward an agreed
upon budget at town meeting that is fair, transparent and understandable. I would like to express my
appreciation to members of the Revenue and Fixed Cost Committee and to Assistant Town Manager Ray
Santilli for their considerable assistance in developing this budget and particularly to Town
Accountant/Budget Director Lyne Savage who makes it all come together.

SECTION 9 NON-CONFORMING USES
9.3 Pre-Existing Non-conforming Single Family Residential Structures and Uses
in the Residential 1,Residential 2,Residential 3,Residential 4 and Residential 6
Districts:
a. Pre-existing Non-conforming Single Family Structures: Pre-existing non-conforming
single family and two family residential structures in the RI,R2,R3,R4 and R6
Districts,may be changed, extended or altered,provided that there is a finding by the
Zoning Enforcement Officer(Building Commissioner)that such change, extension, or
alteration shall not render the structure more nonconforming than the existing structure.
Upon such determination, a building permit may be issued where applicable. The
following circumstances shall be deemed not to increase the nonconforming nature of
said structure:
1. Alteration of a structure which complies with all current yard setbacks,building
coverage, and building height requirements but is located on a lot with insufficient
area,where the structure after alteration will comply with all of current Bylaw
requirements except for lot area.
2. Alteration to a structure which complies will all current yard setbacks,building
coverage, and building height requirements but is located on a lot with insufficient
frontage,where the structure after alteration will comply with all of current Bylaw

that the nonconforming nature of such structure would be increased by the proposed
extension, alteration, or change, the Zoning Board of Appeals may, by special permit,
allow such extension, alteration, or change where it determines that the proposed
modification will not be substantially more detrimental than the existing
nonconforming structure to the neighborhood

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mark Rees, Town Manager
FROM: Curt Bellavance, Director
RE: Massachusetts Green Communities Act Assistance Program
DATE: February 3, 2010
On Monday, February 1 our office held the first meeting as part of the Green Communities
Assistance Grant. The grant was awarded to North Andover by the Department of Energy
Resources (DOER). The grant provides an energy consultant to work with the Town and provide
an action plan for becoming a "Green Community". The consultant assigned to North Andover
is ICF International.
In order to become a Green Community the Town must commit to the five goals listed below.
If the Town becomes a Green Community then there are additional State funds available to the
Town. The funds have been set aside in an Energy Trust which can only be used for specific
purposes related to energy reduction.
The consultant is required to produce an Action Plan that will assist the Town on reaching the
five goals. This memo briefly describes the five criterion needed to be "adopted" for becoming
a Green Community.
Criterion 1—As of Right Zoning
The Town must demonstrate that an Industrial District (Osgood Landing)zoning specifies
medium and heavy manufacturing related to alternative energy. Our office will work with
DOER on any specific language requirements. ATM must adopt zoning changes.
Criterion 2—Expedited Permitting
North Andover has adopted the 43D Expedited Permitting process but will need to adopt
Criterion#1 within the 43D district(Osgood Landing)to meet DOER requirements.

D{....... 070 400 0541 C.... 070 L00 OCAS ULJ. .........i.....e..�.,...+6...,d.......�.+..,
Criterion 3—Baseline GHG Inventory& Plan to Reduce GHG Emissions
The North Andover Sustainability Committee (NASC) has made significant progress on the
energy-use baseline. The Town has been working with Peregrine, who developed DOER's new
Mass Energy Insight tool. Also,Town vehicle fuel use and mileage are tracked using the Gasboy
software. Some Town buildings were audited in 2009. The consulting group Snyder is
developing a baseline inventory for the schools. The Town would have five years to reduce
their energy consumption by 20%based on the baseline audit.
Criterion 4—Green Vehicle Fleet Purchasing Policy
The Town has a current inventory of its municipal vehicles and would need to commit to
purchasing green vehicles in the future. The process of replacing older vehicles with green
vehicles would need to be outlined in a Green Vehicle Fleet Purchasing Policy and Plan. The
Board of Selectmen and/or Town Manger would need to adopt a vehicle purchasing policy.
Criterion 5—Stretch Code
This is the criterion that may generate the most debate. The Town would need to adopt the
Stretch Code,which is an appendix to the State Building Code (780 CMR) adopted by the Board
of Building Regulations and Standards last year. The Stretch Code is based on the International
Energy Conservation Code (IECC)and is an optional code that exceeds the current energy code
and provides higher construction standards for both residential and commercial construction.
ATM must adopt the code.

included in this scope shall comply with 78o CMR 13,34, 61,or 93, as applicable.
101.3 Purpose and Intent.
The purpose of 78o CMR 12o.AA is to provide a more energy efficient alternative to the base
energy code applicable to the relevant sections of the building code for both new construction
and existing buildings.A municipality seeking to ensure that construction within its
boundaries is designed and built above the energy efficiency requirements of 78o CMR may
mandate adherence to this appendix.
This appendix may be adopted by any municipality in the commonwealth,by decision of its
governing body.In a city having a Plan D or Plan E charter the governing body shall be the city
manager and the city council, and in any other city the mayor and city council. In towns the
governing body shall be the board of selectmen. In order to be adopted,the appendix must be
considered at an appropriate municipal public hearing,subject to the municipality's existing
public notice provisions.If adopted by a municipality this appendix rather than 78o CMR 13,
34, 61, or 93, as applicable,shall govern.
This appendix shall regulate the design and construction of buildings for the effective use of
energy. This appendix is intended to provide flexibility to permit the use of innovative

An Act Providing for the Establishment of Other Post Employment Benefits Liability Trust
Funds in Municipalities and Certain Other Governmental Units. Effective January 10, 2009.
Adds a new local option section,Section 20, to G.L. c. 32B,which governs group health insurance
for active and retired employees of local governmental entities. The new option allows a city, town,
district,county or municipal lighting plant to set up a special trust fund, the Other Post
Employment Benefits (OPEB) Liability Trust Fund,for appropriations made to cover its unfunded
actuarial liability of health care and other post-employment benefits for its retirees.
Reimbursements received by the governmental entity from the federal Medicare program for
covering retiree drug costs (Medicare Part D)may be credited to the fund as well. Acceptance is by
vote of town meeting in a town, city council in a city having a Plan D or Plan E charter, city council
with the approval of the mayor in any other city, the governing board in a district, county
commissioners in a county and board for a municipal lighting plant. Previously, municipalities had
to obtain special acts to create an OPEB trust fund.
The governmental entity must retain an actuary to establish a funding schedule. The schedule must
be reviewed and approved by the Public Employee Retirement Administration Commissions
(PERAC's) actuary. In addition, the schedule must be reviewed every three years by the chief
executive officer of the entity and any update must be reviewed by PERAC's actuary as well. The
governmental entity is not required to make appropriations into the fund according to the
schedule,but any appropriations made are held in trust for OPEB obligations.
The governmental unit's treasurer is the custodian of the fund or in the case of a light plant, an
officer designated by the board. Investment of fund monies by the custodian must be consistent
with the prudent person standard set forth in G.L. c. 203C for private trust funds. Interest earned
on the investment of fund monies belongs to the fund.
Chapter 479 of the Acts of 2008
AN ACT PROVIDING FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS LIABILITY TRUST
FUNDS IN MUNICIPALITIES AND CERTAIN OTHER GOVERNMENTAL UNITS.
Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to establish forthwith a local
option for municipalities and certain other governmental units to establish certain trust funds, therefore it is hereby
declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the
same as follows:
Chapter 32B of the General Laws is hereby amended by adding the following section:-
Section 20. A city, town, district, county or municipal lighting plant that accepts this section, may establish a separate
fund, to be known as an Other Post Employment Benefits Liability Trust Fund, and a funding schedule for the fund.
The schedule and any future updates shall be designed, consistent with standards issued by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board, to reduce the unfunded actuarial liability of health care and other post-employment
benefits to zero as of an actuarially acceptable period of years and to meet the normal cost of all such future benefits
for which the governmental unit is obligated. The schedule and any future updates shall be: (i) developed by an
actuary retained by a municipal lighting plant or any other governmental unit and triennially reviewed by the board for a

municipal lighting plant or by the chief executive officer of a governmental unit; and (ii) reviewed and approved by the
actuary in the public employee retirement administration commission.
The board of a municipal lighting plant or the legislative body of any other governmental unit may appropriate amounts
recommended by the schedule to be credited to the fund. Any interest or other income generated by the fund shall be
added to and become part of the fund. Amounts that a governmental unit receives as a sponsor of a qualified retiree
prescription drug plan under 42 U.S.C. 1395w-132 may be added to and become part of the fund.
The custodian of the fund shall be: (i)a designee appointed by the board of a municipal lighting plant; or(ii)the
treasurer of any other governmental unit. Funds shall be invested and reinvested by the custodian consistent with the
prudent investor rule set forth in chapter 203C.
This section may be accepted in a city having a Plan D or Plan E charter by vote of the city council; in any other city by
vote of the city council and approval of the mayor; in a town by vote of the town at a town meeting; in a district by vote
of the governing board; in a municipal lighting plant by vote of the board; and in a county by vote of the county
commissioners.

Hi Maura,
hope all is well with you. I haven't seen you in a while.
I have heard that the Legislature passed something (irrevocable trust?)for municipalities to use if they are funding their
(GASB 45) unfunded liability. Is that true?

Enclosed is a facsimile check showing the dividend amount awarded to you. You may
use this as a premium credit or, if you prefer, you may request a check for this amount. In
either case, please make your request in writing. Contact Greg McGrath at
gmcgrath @mma.org(1-800-374-4405 ext. 256). If you wish to publicize the dividend
award, I have enclosed a sample press release for your use.
It was also announced at the annual meeting that MIIA is continuing distribution of
$10,000,000 in Participation Credits over three years. Fiscal year 2011 will be the third
year of this distribution. This amount more than doubles Participation Credits granted
prior to FY2009. In addition,MIIA granted a one-time $2,000,000 Participation Credit
retroactive to FY2009. This additional amount was distributed in July 2009. Thus,the
three-year Participation Credit total will be $12,000,000.
The Participation Credit recognizes the continuing commitment of many of our members
over several years, and recognizes the administrative savings to the program from these
loyal members.These credits will be applied to your Property &Liability and Workers'
Compensation premiums on policies effective July 1,2010. Only members who remain
in the program for fiscal year 2011 are eligible to receive Participation Credits.The
credits will be shown in your invoice.
Thank you for your loyalty and for your part in maintaining the excellent loss control and
safety records which allows MIIA to provide these savings to our members.
