Petition of Robert Ercolini and others Article 21. Procedure for Review of Proposed Trash Transfer Facility Agreement. The petitioner, Robert Ercolini, submitted other documents with the following warrant article that are not reproduced here. This other information is available for viewing at the Town Clerk's office or at the Town's website: www.townofnorthandover.com. This article states that the Agreement (see Agreement below) signed between the Board of Selectmen and Thomson Brothers Inc. (TBI) and related affiliates must first go through the proper procedures, as mandated by our town charter, before it is approved. Specifically, this article states that the Agreement must be thoroughly reviewed by the proper boards and then voted on at a subsequent Town Meeting. Be it resolved by the residents of the Town of North Andover that: Whereas, the North Andover Board of Selectmen (hereinafter Board of Selectmen) on a 3 to 2 vote approved an Agreement (hereinafter an "Agreement" with Thomson Brothers Inc. (hereinafter "TBI"), Trustee of L.M.T. Reality, Merrimac Cartage, Northside Carting, Inc. (hereinafter collectively "Affiliates" and Rocket Entertainment as of October 20, 2004 and that the Agreement requires the expenditure of funds by the Town of North Andover Whereas, TBI, the Thompson family and their Affiliates seek to construct and operate a transfer station on their property located at Holt Road in the Town; and Whereas, TBI, their Affiliates and Rocket Entertainment and the Board of Selectmen have entered into an Agreement to outline the costs and benefits to the Town arising from construction and operation of such a facility; and 8 2004 ANNUAL TOWN MEETING WARRANT FOR POSTING Whereas, prior consideration of such a facility resulted in denial of a site assignment for the facility by the Town's Board of Health; and Whereas, this denial was upheld on judicial review at both the Superior and Supreme Judicial Courts; and Whereas, the North Andover Planning Board and Finance Committee did not review the Agreement, prior to the execution by the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, in accordance with the Town of North Andover's Charter provisions; and Whereas, the Agreement provides for the expenditure of monies including but not limited to legal fees incurred by the Thomsons, costs incurred pursuant to the binding arbitration clause in the contract, charges for drop off of some recyclables, any increased costs incurred by the TBI, (without audit or review by the Town), and additional costs pursuant to "White Goods" that need to be appropriated and authorized by Town Meeting; Whereas, the Agreement did not involve public bidding to insure best possible price to the Town and allow for competition to others interested in providing these services; Whereas, the Agreement gives TBI the discretion to terminate the contract at any time and manipulate its (TBI's) obligations there under; Whereas, the Agreement leaves too many ambiguities and unanswered questions, the answers to which may prove costly to the Town, Whereas this Agreement subjects the town to lawsuits from other landowners seeking similar Agreements. Whereas, the terms of the Agreement and the Thomsons have revealed that TBI is using the threat of opening Rockets in an extortionate manner Whereas, no determination has been made that the there are sufficient sums in the Agreement to adequately monitor the facility's operation; Whereas, the Agreement does not provide for specific liquidated damages or automatic penalty clauses for TBI's non performance with respect to sections 1(h) and 1(o)-there is no specific penalty provided for TBI's failure to enforce traffic routes or TBI's failure to adequately enforce bans on prohibited materials, and thus TBI's incentive to perform under these provisions can not be adequately gauged; Whereas the proposed facility is twice the size as the original design that was denied by the 1997 Board of Health, and the Agreement does not provide penalty clauses if TBI brings in more than 650 tons per day of trash and construction and demolition debris. 9 2004 ANNUAL TOWN MEETING WARRANT FOR POSTING Whereas, TBI is using this Agreement as leverage to get its permits approved by the Department of Environmental Protection and the town's Board of Health; Whereas, the Agreement (signed by the Selectmen) will exert undue pressure on members of the North Andover Board of Health (who are appointed by the Board of Selectmen) in their deliberation on the proposed facility; Whereas, the Agreement has been reviewed by Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky & Popeo PC, and their concerns and comments are available. Whereas, the failure of Town Meeting to specifically reject this Agreement will cause it to be automatically approved by Town Meeting as part of its approval of the Town's annual budget appropriation for fiscal 2005; Now, therefore, Town Meeting states and declares the following: That the Agreement between TBI, their Affiliates and Rocket Entertainment and the Board of Selectmen is a non-binding recitation of proposed benefits and costs to the Town; and That the Agreement does not constitute a binding host community Agreement and that it requires further review, amendment and approvals by the Finance Committee, Planning Board, Towns employees and Town Meeting before it may constitute a contractual agreement; and That the Town's Board of Health has the ultimate authority to determine whether the site may be assigned for use as a transfer station in a manner that is protective of public health, safety, and the environment without influence from the Board of Selectmen; and That the voters of the Town of North Andover stand opposed to the siting of this facility and the making of any agreement which may purport to give any authority for construction or operation of the facility prior to Town Meeting approval of any agreement, That Town Meeting approval of such an agreement shall only be given after a full review of any proposed agreement by all appropriate Town Boards and professional personnel employed by the Town as to the impacts to public health, safety, economic costs and benefits and the environmental impacts which may arise from the construction and or operation of such a facility; and That no expenditure of funds, including any employee costs, shall be incurred by North Andover on or on behalf of this Agreement until a proposed Agreement is approved by Town Meeting. WITNES SETH WHEREAS, TBI proposes to develop property at 210 Holt Road (the "Site") for a solid waste recycling and transfer facility for up to 650 tons per day (the "Facility"). Reference to "TBI" in this Agreement shall be deemed to include TBI's successors and assigns; and 10 2004 ANNUAL TOWN MEETING WARRANT FOR POSTING WHEREAS, the Thomsons are owners of property at 210 Holt Road; and reference to "the Thomsons" in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the Thomsons' heirs, successors and assigns; and WHEREAS, TBI acknowledges that execution of this Agreement by the Selectmen does not constitute an endorsement or approval of the proposed Facility but merely sets forth the recycling and waste diversion benefits that TBI will provide to the Town of North Andover (the "Town") should TBI be successful in developing and operating the Facility at the Site; and WHEREAS, nothing in this agreement shall be construed to mean that the Board of Selectmen endorse any specific proposal or elements of any specific proposal for a Transfer Station or Recycling Facility at the subject lots (210 Holt Road). The purpose of this Agreement is to agree upon certain terms that will benefit the Town of North Andover should a proposed facility obtain all necessary environmental and other permits; and WHEREAS, this Agreement is in no way a directive to the North Andover Board of Health to issue a permit for the Facility; and WHEREAS, the Selectmen and TBI enter into this Agreement knowing that the Board of Health, and not the Board of Selectmen, has the authority to issue a permit for a solid waste recycling and transfer facility; and if the Board of Health denies the permit application for a solid waste recycling and transfer facility at the Site, then this Agreement shall be null and void. Now, therefore, for good, lawful and valuable consideration, TBI, the Thomsons and the Selectmen agree as follows: 1. For so long that TBI is permitted to operate and is operating the Facility as described herein and the Town zoning by-laws governing the use of the Site remain unchanged, TBI and the Thomsons agree as follows: a.

The Facility shall take recyclables that are at least those taken by a majority of North Andover's "comparable" community list. TBI agrees to enter into a mutually satisfactory agreement with the Town for curbside recycling collections containing at a minimum all of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement for curbside collection for the residents of the Town and such other terms and conditions consistent with this Agreement. The Town shall initially propose a form of curbside recycling contract containing such terms and conditions. TBI shall respond to the Town's proposed form of contract with specific comments and suggested changes.

The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties, and the parties agree to execute a curbside recycling contract incorporating such decision within ten days of such decision. The arbitration shall be held in the Boston area. TBI agrees that it shall not commence operation of the facility before executing the curbside recycling contract. c.
