North Andover High School 430 Osgood Street ANNUAL FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT TO VOTERS North Andover Home Rule Charter, consists of a diverse group of citizens appointed by the Town Moderator to learn about, explain, and make recommendations on all aspects of 1 2016 MESSAGE FROM THE TOWN MODERATOR Dear Neighbors: Tuesday evening May 10, 2016 commencing at 7:00PM in the North Andover High School auditorium. You have allowed me the great privilege of presiding at Town Meeting the past four years. Thank you. During these years I have sought to significantly modernize the functions, rules, reach and conduct of Town Meeting while making deliberate effort to preserve the traditions and procedures of the past that work. Collectively, the deliberate introduction of technology, improved procedures and new rules has made the meeting what I have promised fair, open and efficient. At this moment I can report that we will put a pause on new initiatives. As well, there are no rules changes for this upcoming Annual Town Meeting. I will continue to endeavor to conduct the meeting in a manner that offers a more appropriately informal discussion among participants for the purpose of easing voter understanding of the issues to be decided during this vital community conversation that we call Town Meeting. Your open-minded embrace of the changes made these years has had consequence elsewhere. Communities across the state have noted our initiatives such as use of real time on screen editing of articles, live web streaming and broadcast of proceedings, personal financial disclosure requirements and the appointment of Citizen Advocates to guide attendees in crafting motions or amendments that they wish to present. Our most far-reaching initiative to allow questions to be submitted from citizens, via email, who cannot attend the meeting itself has garnered significant discussion across the Commonwealth. In this, our third year of allowing more open access to the meeting, there will be at least one other community offering the same opportunity and several more planning to institute our ground- breaking program. These communities share my belief that Town Meeting serves two constituencies those who attend and participate in the meeting, and those who are governed by what is decided at Town Meeting. Procedures for accessing the on-line email forum in North Andover will be published two weeks before the mIt is important to note that the power of the meeting remains with those who do take the time and effort to be present, listen, deliberate and vote at the meeting. While all power is in the room, all helpful knowledge may not be in attendance. Interestingly, there is an effort in the Legislature to allow full remote participation at Town Meeting, including the right to vote. While a full virtual Town Meeting experience will not likely come for many years, I am pleased that we sparked conversations in our Commonwealth to assure that Town Meeting does not become an anachronism a dinosaur of governance anchored to history and not relevant to the lives and society in which we live. We in North Andover should be rightfully proud of being pioneers. 2 The North Andover Town Charter gives the Moderator the unilateral power to establish rules of parliamentary procedure in simplified form for Town Meeting. Significant new rules of procedure, including the first-ever in the nation requirement of disclosure of personal financial interest, have now been established and part of our practice for four years deserve note for those who have not participated before. If you are a first time participant or just need a refresher please do read the rules below in order to make our deliberative experience together the most productive possible for the entire community. Participating in our annual community assembly is a hallmark of Open Town Meeting. The general tenure of respectful deliberation and debate are governed adherence to the three simple behaviors below: It is asked that petitioners and follow-up speakers who address the meeting provide only new information in an effort to persuade undecided voters. Continued repetition of previously heard information as a show of support takes time and does little to positively influence the outcome of a vote. Please refrain from unnecessary applause or negative responses during discussions. Keeping remarks brief and relevant shows The most persuasive statements at Town Meeting are often those succinctly stated, disclosing new facts or arguments in an effort to advance a position while retaining the inute speaking time limit will be strictly enforced. Lastly, please review the Simplified Rules of Parliamentary Procedure, Addendums on Electronic and Visual Presentations, a Glossary of Town Meeting Terms and Participants as well as the Town By-laws that relate to Town Meeting. These rules and other information presented below will be helpful to all who attend, speak and/or present at Town Meeting. Town Meeting remains a unique tradition one we are reinventing with each session and initiative we collectively establish. Open Town Meeting remains the most direct and inclusive form of participatory democracy ever utilized in any form of government on this earth. I invite you to contribute to our vital community conversation. Please do attend, as every vote counts - and at Town Meeting many votes have consequential generational impact. Be a part of the future. Mark S. DiSalvo Town Moderator 179 Coventry Lane mdisalvo@sema4usa.com 978 683-4396 3 2016 NORTH ANDOVER TOWN MEETING SIMPLIFIED RULES OF PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE The purpose of Town Meeting is to establish and update the By-laws, operational policies, budgets as our form of government since 1646. It represents the purest form of democracy in that every vote truly counts. Each registered voter is guaranteed an equal voice in the decisions made by the Meeting. In order to protect the sanctity of that vote, the North Andover Town Charter empowers the Town Moderator to establish the rules of Procedure under which Town Meeting is to be conducted. These rules are historically based on the traditions established by generations of North Andover citizens and by other New England communities, acting as legislators of their local governments. Specific parliamentary rulings and conduct are governed by the Moderator, using Massachusetts General Laws, the North Andover Charter, North Andover By-Laws, and local tradition as a guideline. The passing of each Town Meeting adds to the rich history and changes to that practice and tradition that helps guide future Moderators and meetings. not applied and have no bearing on conduct of our meeting. Past Moderators have utilized the book published by elected to utilize that resource if appropriate. Town Meetings across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are similar, but not identical, in the and help define the role and latitude of the Moderator. At North Andover Town Meetings we will endeavor to present all necessary information in an efficient and timely manner so that the most clarity can be afforded to voters, enabling them to make informed decisions. Voters, in turn, have a unique responsibility. Not only must they express, by vote, the decisions made based upon their own judgment and perspective, but also be cognizant of the effect their vote and/or decision has on all citizens of North Andover. There are ten simple rules of procedure for North Andover Town Meeting: 1.Article The first action required after the announcement of any WarrantMain Motion is that a be proposed. The citizen sponsor of an article, Town Board sponsor, or Town Board with an affirmative recommendation, are likely movers of a main motion. The initial motion for the Town budget will be made by the Finance Committee. Any Town Board or voter may amend the motion for consideration and deliberation of the meeting. All motions must be seconded by a voter other than the person offering the main motion and only then may discussion and debate begin. 2. Any voter wishing to address the meeting must first gain the attention of the Moderator when no other speaker has the floor. Public microphones are to be utilized, where a speaker seeking to be recognized, being courteous to others and those next in line, will call out to be heard by addressing the Moderator. Speakers must introduce themselves 4 using their full name and street address each time speaking at a session of Town Meeting. 3. Once recognized by the Moderator, a speaker is given a turn to speak for up to five (5) minutes and must address the meeting on only the article currently under discussion. Voters not doing so or speaking in a disrespectful fashion may be suspended from speaking on the matter at the discretion of the Moderator. Additional time can be granted by assent of the meeting, by prior arrangement with the Moderator, and at the discretion of the Moderator. Questions are welcome, as well as statements endorsing a position. A voter with a question will take precedence over anyone stating an opinion of support or non-support for an article. 4. Any person who has a financial interest in any article under discussion shall make a disclosure of that interest before speaking. Any person who is a spouse, parent, grandparent, child, brother, sister, or in-law of a person who has a financial interest in an article shall also disclose such relationship before speaking. The employment, whether paid or unpaid, of any person acting as an attorney, engineer, architect, land surveyor, broker, consultant, agent or in any other capacity by a person interested in the article under discussion, shall be disclosed before that person speaks. Violation of such disclosure, or refusal to disclose the required information, if asked, shall result in Disclosure is not generally required of voters who are utilizing and/or are beneficiaries of Town services such as, for example, public safety, public works and public utilities, or parents of children in public schools. However, if the speaker has a personal financial interest beyond what is reasonably available to all eligible citizens then disclosure is required. 5. Town employees and/or appointed or elected officials are required to identify their position and whether or not they are speaking in an official capacity. Such identification shall satisfy the disclosure requirement unless there is a specific matter under discussion that does not involve their official capacity as an employee, appointed or elected official. A blanket initial identification, upon the first opportunity to speak, is acceptable for each session of the meeting unless the individual is not speaking in an official capacity. In such case, the speaker shall be compelled to make a disclosure. 6. All remarks should be addressed to and through the Moderator, for the benefit of all attendees. Direct questioning of others is not permitted. Questions may be directed, through the Moderator, to any petitioner, speaker or official and, if determined germane by the Moderator, the person asked will have the immediate opportunity to answer should they choose. 7. An amendment, changing or limiting the main motion, can be offered during the course of debate. The Moderator may rule an amendment out of order if it is beyond the scope of the warrant article. The Moderator will redirect the discussion to consider the proposed amendment once it is properly before the meeting. Specific wording of any proposed amendment must be made available in writing to the Moderator and Town 5 Clerk before it can be considered. The party proposing such motion shall concisely state, to the meeting, the consequence of the amendment on the existing main motion and/or article being considered. Should reference or context be necessary to provide the meeting with full understanding of the amendment then this shall be allowed at the 8.

To see if the Town will vote to amend the Town of North Andover Zoning Bylaw, Section 13 Continuing Care Retirement Center (CCRC), by making the following amendments to Subsections 13.1, 13.2, and 13.5(b) (by identifying text which is deleted as strikethrough and text added as underlined), as follows: SECTION 13 CONTINUING CARE RETIREMENT CENTER 13.1 Establishment There is established a Continuing Care Retirement Center (CCRC) as a permitted use under the Special Permit provision of this Bylaw. Such permitted use may only be authorized in existing Residence 1, Residence 2 and Village Residential Districts. A CCRC parcel may include an adjoining parcel of land which is in the Residential-1 District, providing provided that no development shall be permitted in the Residential-1 portion of a CCRC parcel in excess of ten percent (10%) of the lot areas of the Residential-1 portion within such CCRC parcel. The authorization will empower the Planning Board to review and approve a 24 definitive plan under the Special Permit provisions in Section 10.3 and as in otherwise provided for in this section. A CCRC shall include a nursing home care facility and congregate housing units and may also include independent dwelling units and assisted living units. A CCRC may also only include any or all of the foregoing housing types provided it is affiliated with a nursing home. 13.2 Purpose The purpose of the CCRC is to provide for the development and use of specialized housing and nursing care for the elderly on the basis of the Planning Board to issue a Special Permit in the permitted District (2) Districts with greater flexibility from the pattern otherwise permitted in such districts. It is intended to create health care, including home health care, housing and other supportive services designed to meet the needs of the elderly population and to enable that population to live independently. It is further intended to encourage the preservation of open spaces; to allow for new nursing care facilities and housing that causes relatively little demand on Town services; and to preserve the Town's residential character. In creating an alternative to existing nursing and housing possibilities for the elderly, the CCRC is intended to allow for a greater mixture of buildings, structures and uses with regard to density than is otherwise permitted thereby allowing for the nursing care of the elderly and the relief of the physical, economic and emotional stress associated with the maintenance and care of traditional nursing home and residential properties. 13.5 Standards and Restrictions Permissible Density.

The CPA, adopted at a Special Town Meeting in January 2001, and by the voters at the Town Election in March 2001, levies a 3% surcharge 45 on property taxes with two exemptions: $100,000 of the value of every residential property is exempted, and a complete exemption on property owned and occupied by people who qualify for low-income housing or low- or moderate-income senior housing. The Community Preservation Committee (CPC) annually recommends how funds should be spent or set aside for future spending among the allowable categories of a) open space; b) historic preservation; c) affordable housing; and d) land for recreational use, with a minimum of 10% required in each of the first three categories. In addition, a maximum of 5% may be spent on administrative expenses by the CPC. Town Meeting may either approve or reduce the recommended expenditures, but cannot add to them.
