OLD BUSINESS:
Proposed Algonquin Gas Compression Station
The deadline for submitting written comments to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is
November 21, 2007. Special Counsel Jonathan Klaven prepared a draft submission. The Board made
comments and wanted additional text inserted in the letter to FERC.
Selectman Caggiano said that the 1600 Osgood Street site is not a really good idea either and wanted
that site deleted from the letter, because the town of North Andover is already overburdened by regional
facilities.

Street wanted to be considered as an alternative site. This would be a benefit to the industrial part of
their facility.

and giving James Xenakis, Chair of the Board authorization to send a letter to FERC with the Town's
concerns regarding the Boxford site for the Algonquin Gas Compression Station. Vote approved 5-0.
NEW BUSINESS:
Winter Parking Ban
The winter parking ban has been revised to make it clear that parking on the sidewalks is not allowed.
The Police and Fire Departments are very concerned about the practice of parking on sidewalks and the
danger for pedestrians when forced to walk on the street.
Selectmen Smedile and Lanen said that people have parked partially on the sidewalks for years because
many downtown streets are two narrow to allow emergency vehicles to pass through.
Chairman Xenakis said that the Board should approve the existing policy as stated and not enforce it if
the Police Department sees that there is a street or road that is over burdened by this problem.
Thomas Licciardello made a MOTION, seconded by Rosemary Smedile, to approve the parking ban
policy as amended and keeping in mind that there will be future exceptions made by discretion as
identified by the Police Chief. Vote approved 5-0.

sign in front of 13 Maple Street. Vote approved 5-0.
School/Municipal Consolidation Proposal
School Superintendent James Marini and the Town Manager Mark Rees are proposing the consolidation
of certain similar services to maximize efficiencies and possible cost savings for the town. The Budget
Communications Group has endorsed this plan and it is now being brought before the Board of
Selectmen and the School Committee at their next meeting for adoption. Approvals by the Boards would
direct staff to move forward with this major undertaking with implementation to take place in FY09.
Board of Selectmen Meeting November 19, 2007 4
Thomas Licciardello made a MOTION, seconded by Mark Caggiano, to approve the proposal of the
consolidation of town services so that the Town Manager could move forward with a plan. Vote
approved 5-0.
TOWN MANAGER'S REPORT:
Representative Torrisi's office informed the town that the legislation the town requested removing the Fire
Chief and the Police Chief positions from civil service passed the legislature and was signed by the
Governor. The town has begun the process of preparing a request for proposals to hire a consultant to
assist the town in conducting an assessment center for the permanent Fire Chief position.
The Department of Public Works has informed the Town Manager that the flood and drainage control
work along Mosquito Brook has been substantially completed. While this work will not eliminate the
possibility of continued flooding along this brook, it should go a long way toward mitigating the flooding.
The Department of Housing and Community Development has approved the town's smart growth
application and that the town is eligible for the$600,000 initial grant. The grant award requires that the
town designate a"Smart Growth Reporting Officer" and a"Municipal Official" responsible for filing an
Annual update. The Town Manager recommended appointing Community Development Director Curt
Bellavance to fill both of those roles.
On November 15, 2007, Police Officers Jarred J. Lawler and Brendan J. Gallagher graduated from the

I Officer Brian Faye report the following, at approximately 12:15am on September 30, 2007 all units were dispatched to the Beijing
Restaurant for a report of a fight.
Upon my arrival, Officer Reid, Barter and Sewade were spread out over the front parking lot of the Restaurant attempting to assess
and gain control of the situation. The entire occupancy of the bar was gathered in the front and side parking lot in a mass state of
confusion.
Officer Reid was assisting an off duty EMT, later identified as 1111110&with an unconscious and bleeding male subject on the
ground.This male was later identified as Officer Barter was restraining a white male, later identified as
ne of Mr.4111111W friends,from retaliating on behalf of his friend that lay unconscious on the ground.Also there was
another male in close proximity to Officer Barter to which I immediately grabbed and pulled him away from the officer. This male was
later identifie( M also M friend. Mr. 111IMidentified himself as a victim and stated he had been sucker
punched in the jaw from behind and that he knew who had injured his friend.
stated that two men repeatedly kicked Mr.4GMqRW in the head, face and chest. Mr. 011111Wrought me over to a
gray vehicle with three occupants inside the vehicle. He pointed in the back seat and stated they are the ones that did this to Mr.
1 order the driver of the vehicle, later identified as to shut the vehicle off and told the two rear passengers, later
identified as and y, to exit the vehicle. After a check for weapons on the two males I asked for identification
and what had happene . At this time Sg Heffernan requested,over the radio, for one officer to give her a land line for an update on
the situation. Officer Sewade called the Sgt with an update. Both Mr.10 and4lilft stated that they didn't do anything and that
they just wanted to leave. Both males were unstable on their feet, had red glossy eyes and had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage
emanating from their persons.When I asked them how much they had to drink. Mr.-ft stated"this guy didn't do any anything"
pointing to W410100 still seated in the vehicle. I asked again how much he had to drink tonight and he stated, " I took criminal justice, I
now what's going on, I want to cooperate." Mr.4010M,while leaning on the truck of the car to keep his balance stated, in a slurred
speech, "A couple." I advised both men at this point to stand at the rear of the vehicle and keep their mouths shut while I spoke with
the driver. I order the driver to exit and stand at the front of the vehicle. I searched Mr.11Wor weapons and asked him for his
identification and what had happened.
The parking lot at this time was still filled with the bar patrons and still in a state of confusion. The Ambulance arrived and took over
care-of Mr.
While I was speaking with Mr. qWi I looked over my shoulder and saw Officer Reid, now standing up, attempting to restrain Mr.
still in a state of anger due to what had just occurred to his friend. I still at this time was not sure what Mr. s role
was in the incident so I advised the three men I was speaking with not to move and immediately ran over to assist Officer Reid.As I
approached, Officer Barter advised me that they were all set and we began to clear the area of everyone that was not involved or a
witness to the incident. Once the ambulance was clear from the scene and the crowd was separated, from the witnesses to the people
involved, I began to get statements from each party on what had just occurred.

Upon my arrival, I observed my Officers speaking to several patrons and victims as well. The most seriously injured,
had already been transported to Lawrence General Hospital. At this time, the Officers appeared to
have the situation under control. Officer Reid approached me and gave me the update, which essentially is noted in

Adrian Santana. Adrian was not the bouncer for the night, but I was told, the bouncer for the night had left and Adrian was

Ike: Comments on Scope of Environmental Impact Statement for Proposed East
to West Hubline Expansion Project(Docket No. PF'07®000)
Dear Ms. Bose:
The Town of North Andover("North Andover") appreciates the opportunity to comment
on the scope of the environmental impact statement("EIS")to be prepared by the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission(the"Commission") for review of the proposal by
Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC ("Algonquin") for an East to West Hubline
Expansion Project(the"Project").
North Andover's concerns focus on the element of the proposal that would likely involve
construction and operation of a new 10,300-horsepower(hp)natural gas compression
facility(the "Gas Compression Facility") on 8.2 acres of a 157-acre parcel of
undeveloped land in Boxford,Massachusetts(the"Boxford Site"). At the same time,
Algonquin is also considering an alternative, 50-acre site in Danvers, Massachusetts (the
"Danvers Site") located northwest and adjacent to the Danvers Landfill.
At the outset,we should note that North Andover supports expansion and upgrading of
interstate natural gas transmission capacity in New England in order to provide the
residents and businesses of our town and of other cities and towns in New England with
more affordable natural gas for heating and more affordable and cleaner natural gas-fired
electricity.
Despite our general support for improved interstate natural gas transmission capacity,
North Andover believes that the Boxford Site is an illogical location for the Gas
Compression Facility and strongly encourages the Commission and Algonquin to
aggressively and fairly consider viable alternatives. At present,the Boxford Site is a
large,undeveloped open space, zoned for residential and related uses and surrounded by
residential and other low-impact uses. The Boxford Site (and the 8.2 acre project site
within it) is located adjacent and in close proximity to residents [and businesses] in North
Andover. Access to the site by emergency vehicles is limited or nonexistent. A 10,300-
hp gas compression facility would pose unacceptable threats to the sensitive environment
in the vicinity of the Boxford Site,present an unwarranted nuisance to neighbors of the
Kimberly D. Bose
November 20, 2007
Page 2
project, and wreak a dramatic and permanent change in the character of the surrounding
area. Accordingly,the Boxford Site, if considered at all for the Gas Compression
Facility, should be considered only as a last resort after sufficient analysis of alternatives,
only after careful study of all environmental and community impacts and only after
careful elimination or mitigation of those impacts.
We have reviewed the preliminary list of issues and alternatives presented on pages 7-9
of the Commission's October 16, 2007 Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS for the Project
and propose the clarifications and additions set forth below. The list below does not
encompass all impacts that should be studied in the EIS because the Commission's
proposed list already included many issues of concern to North Andover. By the
same token,North Andover expressly reserves its right to advocate for more
detailed study of any of the issues set forth in the Commission's proposed list or the
list below.
1. Water Resources
a. Impact on Lake Cochichewick watershed, which affects the drinking
water supply for over 30,000 residents of North Andover and
surrounding populations
b. Impact on Carter Field Beaver Swamp (and Blue Heron rookery
conservation area)
2. Land Use, Recreation and Special Interest Areas, and Visual Resources
a. Compatibility with local zoning regulations(a factor which should be
considered regardless whether the Project is entitled to an exemption
from such regulations)
b. Impacts on recreational areas
3. Reliability and Safety
a. Access for emergency services
b. Traffic safety at affected intersections
4. Alternatives
a. Assessment of Danvers Site for the Gas Compression Facility should
be conducted at a level of detail(e.g., comparable level of engineering,
geotechnical and other data)commensurate with that used in the
analysis of the Boxford Site
b. Assessment of other alternative sites for the Gas Compression Facility,
including the site located at 1600 Osgood Street in North Andover,
likewise at a level of detail commensurate with that used in the
analysis of the Boxford Site
c. Assessment of alternative technologies (e.g., use of multiple smaller
electric turbines rather than large gas-driven turbines)that would have
less environmental impacts

Dear Mr. Rees,' '
Re: FERC Scoping Meeting Notification, PF07-15-000 - Algonquin Gas
Transmission, LLC, East to West HubLine Expansion Project
As you know, Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC ("Algonquin") is planning an
expansion of its interstate natural gas pipeline system with facilities being considered within
your area. The proposed expansion is called the "East to West HubLine Expansion Project" (the
"Project") and is necessary in order to transport new supplies of natural gas from Canada and
offshore Massachusetts. These new supplies will enhance the reliability of energy supplies and
pipeline system flexibility for the expanding markets in the New England and Northeast regions.
Algonquin recently requested that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC")
initiate an environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA") Pre-
Filing Process ("NEPA Pre-Filing Process") for the proposed Project. The FERC exclusively
authorizes the construction of new facilities including the modification of existing facilities and
is the lead federal agency responsible for conducting environmental reviews of interstate pipeline
projects in compliance with NEPA. On September 10, 2007, the FERC granted Algonquin's
request and issued a Pre-Filing docket number for the Project (Docket No. PF07-15-000). This
is the first regulatory step to obtaining the multiple approvals to build this Project and provides
stakeholders with an opportunity to review Project-related information and identify issues before
any permit applications are filed.
As part of its Pre-Filing Process, the FERC is required under NEPA to consider the
concerns that the public may have about the Project and to consider the environmental impacts
that could result from the proposed facilities. To that end, the FERC has scheduled the meetings
listed below. These meetings will begin at 7:00 p.m. and represent an opportunity for the public
to provide comments to FERC concerning the Project.

Interested parties may also submit written continents. The FERC asks that parties send
an original and two copies of their letter, referencing Docket No. PF07-15-000, by November 21,
2007, to:
Magalie R. Salas, Secretary
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
888 First St., N.E., Room IA
Washington, DC 20426
One copy of the comments should be labeled to the attention of"Gas Branch 2."
Following the Pre-Filing Process, Algonquin will file a formal application for review and
approval from the FERC. The FERC application is currently planned to be filed in the first
quarter of 2008. After Algonquin files its formal application, FERC will seek further public
comment and then issue a draft Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS") for the Project. A
comment period will follow the release of the draft EIS, providing an opportunity for additional
input from the public. FERC will review and consider all comments received on the draft EIS
and issue a final EIS during its certificate review process.
Algonquin encourages all interested parties to participate fully in the FERC Pre-Filing
Process. Please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
I

We are writing in reference to the Algonquin Gas Transmission Proposed Pr'O)' &,Pocket °
P1707-15. Algonquin has filed an application to construct and operate a new natural gas
compression station in Boxford,Massachusetts. i p
We have significant concerns with respect to the quality of life, environmental, and safety
impacts of this project. In addition,we purchased our homes knowing that the-lap around
us was zoned for residential uses and that commercial and industrial al used ouk nq�`;be
,_
allowed. In addition to the assessment already scoped by FERC, we believe the following
impacts should also be assessed in determining if Boxford is the appropriate site for this
project.
We further recommend that these impacts not only be compared between the two current
proposed sites (Boxford and Danvers), but also compared to the sites suggested by the
North Andover Board of Selectmen as well as the other alternative sites in Middleton,
Danvers and the seven sites previously proposed in Haverhill&Methuen in 2005/2006.:
1. Proximity to a protection area for a public water drinking supply which supplies water to
over 30,000 residents.
2. Property zoning and variances required(if not federally regulated)for the project.
3. Proximity to airport landing/take-off paths.
4. Availability of emergency services in which the town/city the facility is proposed.
5. Distance/road condition emergency service vehicles would need to travel to reach site.
6. Length and maximum grade of the access road to reach the site.
7. Safety of the driveway intersection(grades/sight lines @ Bradford St/Barker Rd).
8. Roadway width, availability of sidewalks, sight lines,and roadway grades of travel routes
for workers and construction vehicles(Bradford St/Barker Rd).
9. Proximity and location of vegetated wetlands and vernal pools(downhill from facility).
10. Elevation of site with respect to surrounding area(see attached map).
11. Amount of tree clearing required to construct site and access roadway.
12. Consideration of recreational uses(golf course)as well as homes.
13. Proximity to wildlife and the impacts of noise and land disturbance forcing them closer to
homes.
14. Existing noise,light,and air quality conditions of the site.
15. Road access to facility—liability issues related to access. Barker Road owned by Town
of North Andover and private landowner who is opposed to proposal.
If the Boxford site which is located in an environmental sensitive and residential zoned area
is found to be suitable for the proposed industrial use, the following measures should be
implemented to protect the surrounding neighborhoods and the environment.
L Applicant to provide funds to the towns of North Andover and Boxford to hire a third-
party reviewer to perform independent pre-and post-analyses of the project impacts
(particularly safety,noise, air,and water quality).
P
2. The use of multiple smaller electric compressors rather than one large natural gas driven
turbine.
3. Construction of a heavily insulated concrete building to house the compressors.
4. Construction of an earth sound barrier on all sides of the site facing residential homes.
5. Locate the site in the northeast valley of the site between Mount Hayman and Maiden
Hill as far from the area homes as possible.
6. Create a deeded conservation area that includes the watershed area for North Andover's
drinking water supply as well as the land to the southwest of the existing gas and power lines
abutting residential homes.
7. Commit to provide a full environmental study to ensure potential future changes to the
facility will not further impact the environmental sensitive area.
8. Enforce a more stringent requirement than the 55 db level at the closest receptors(homes
and golf course)due to the current land use,zoning, and environmental impacts.
9. Create an access driveway such that construction and emergency vehicles would not need
to travel through the narrow roadways of an abutting residential community to access the site
as well as traverse a long steep site access driveway.
10. Only the facilities that need to be located on the site should be allowed to by-pass current
local zoning requirements. All accessory uses such as office space, storage areas,etc.should
be located off-site at a location zoned for such uses.
Finally, r
y, a part of the impact assessment study, the distribution list for the previous
mailings sent to the area residents and property owners located within % mile of the site
should be provided. The land in which the current owner controls is much greater than the
30 acres described to be used for the project facility. The parcel as a whole should have
been considered and all residents and property owners within 1/ mile of this boundary
should have been previously notified of the project. Since this project is to be jointly filed
with MEPA,Massachusetts environmental review policy indicates that properties cannot be
separated or segmented in the assessment of the projects environmental impacts (301 CMR
11.01 c).
We hope these comments and suggestions are included in the project impact assessment
scope to better determine the impacts of the project and to protect the surrounding
neighborhoods and environment of the industrial type use proposed on residentially zoned
land.

Dear Mr.Rees:
I am again writing to you in regards to a handicap space for my daughter,Brynn,in front of my house at 13
Maple Ave. Sergeant Soucy contacted me and informed me that this issue will come up at the next town
meeting on November 19a'. Unfortunately my wife,who is in nursing school,has class that night. Because
my daughter requires special care I am trying to arrange for a nurse to sit with her that night so that I can
attend,but in case that can not be arranged I would like to try to answer some anticipated questions that my
arise that night.
It's my understanding that one of the major issues will be how we will deal with snow removal from that
spot. Simply stated,whenever it is snowing or a storm is due, our vehicles will be parked in the drive way
and off of the street so that the plows can do their job as usual. Our intention is not to park a vehicle there
all the time,just for transporting purposes as the front porch where the wheel chair lift is located is right off
of the street.
I will also be responsible for cutting a path thru the snow bank to the designated handicap spot on the street.
I have always done this in the past,but having a designated handicap spot in front of the house would
ensure that whenever my daughter is coming or going from the house there will not be another car parked
in that spot where I have cut a path thru the snow bank from the sidewalk to the street.
This will be especially helpful when the handicap bus that takes her to and from school picks her up or
drops her off. Often,the bus has to search for a spot on the street during the winter where they can safely
park while lowering the ramp to accommodate her wheel chair. At times it can be for 2 houses away.
Again,this would ensure her easy access right in front of our house.
I hope that this helps answer some questions in the event that I am not in attendance at the November 19a'
meeting. Please feel free to contact me with any other issues that I have not anticipated.
Thank you for your support in this matter.
Sincerely
James&Stacie Selfridge
Dear Mr. Rees,
My name is Rebecca Stone. I am a registered nurse working at 13 Maple Ave. I have
been working as a nurse there for 2 years. The child I care for there,Brynn Selfridge is
medically complex. She has a diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy,Epilepsy, seizures, and severe
respiratory related conditions.
Her illnesses require frequent trips to the hospital via ambulance. On these occasions it is
very difficult for them to access Brynn if there are people parked in front of the house.
Having a designated spot left empty would make transportation for Brynn much easier.
If you check town records you will see that Brynn has been picked via ambulance in a
911 emergency situation on frequent occasions.
Brynn takes a special needs bus to school on a daily basis. Many times we have trouble
loading her onto the bus due to cars being parked in front of her wheelchair ramp. Once
again,having a designated parking spot in front of her ramp, for Brynn,would make this
problem disappear.
The property at 13 Maple Ave shares a driveway with the property next door. This
frequently poses problems with transportation accessibility?
The Father, James Selfridge is also handicapped. He has had multiple knee replacement
surgeries due to cancer at a young age. He has difficulty walking distances, and has
frequent falling episodes due to weakness.
As you can see,this designated spot would allow for this family to care for their daughter
and father much easier. Please consider this matter fully and with a generous heart. This
little girl is a blessing from above, and anything that might make her life easier would be
greatly appreciated.
I
Thank you for you time and consideration,

Dear Mr.Rees:
I am writing to you at the suggestion of Sergeant Soucy with the North Andover Police Department. I
would like to request a designated handicap parking space in front of my house at 13 Maple Ave for my
disabled daughter who is 4'/Z years old. My wife and I have lived in North Andover for approximately 6
plus years.
My daughter,Brynn,has a severe seizure disorder with developmental delays. She uses a wheel chair for
transport and although I have a drive way our wheel chair ramp is right in front of the house with a lift to
get her onto the front porch.
My driveway is actually and easement with the house next to mine at 15 Maple Ave. Therefore it is not
always convenient or accessible to transport my daughter to the bus or one of our vehicles.
She attends the Franklin School and is in the Special Needs Program. Therefore she is picked up by the
handicap accessible bus each morning Monday thru Thursday and dropped off each afternoon. A
designated spot out front would allow her to board and disembark either a car or the bus to and from her
lift.
Also in the event of an emergency it would allow for easier and quicker availability to transportation. If
you are able to check 911 calls to our house for emergencies you will see that over the last few years we
have had no fewer than 25 emergency situations where she had to be transported to the hospital(in one
instance she was med flighted to MGH in Boston).
I have enclosed some supporting letters from her nurse at the Franklin School as well as one of our home
nurses who helps care for Brynn. Also,you will find a copy of my daughter's handicap placard.
Finally,if it makes a difference,I myself am also handicapped. Due to cancer a few years ago I have had 3
total knee replacements on my left leg as well as the tibia and femur of my left leg replaced with steel rods.
So needless to say having this spot in front of my house would be beneficial to me as well. I have also
included a copy of my handicap placard.
Thank you for your support in this matter.
Sincerely,
James&Stacie Selfridge

Dear Mr. Rees:
My name is Barbara Ann Donovan. I am the Preschool nurse for Brynn Selfridge
who lives at 13 Maple Ave, North Andover, MA. Brynn is a beautiful four year
old girl. She has a diagnosis of CP and a seizure disorder. Brynn is non-
ambulatory with no use of any of her four limbs. She is difficult to carry due to
her spastic, tonic, and clonic movements. It would be medically prudent to have a
parking spot in front of her home to make a safe transfer from home to car.
Brynn's father, James Selfridge is also handicapped with only minimal use of his
light ?peg. It s important for him to have a space available in fi n�- ofhis home so
that the distance he must ambulate with Brynn in his arms is as short as possible.
A designated handicap space in front of Brynn's home would be the best way to
optimize the distance needed to transfer her from home to car in the safest possible
environment. Please consider designating a handicap space for the safety of Brynn
Selfridge.
Thank you for your support to the Selfridge Family. If you have any questions
please contact me at 978-500-9353.

NORTH ANDOVER FINANCE COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM
TO: NORTH ANDOVER FINANCE COMMITTEE
FROM: BEN OSGOOD,EVA HAMORI,JEAN SULLIVAN
SUBJECT: TOWN FACILITIES MANAGER
DATE: 10/24/2007
With the intent to study areas within the town structure which might allow for changes in order
to tighten financial controls, the Fin Com formed a subcommittee to review the viability of the
creation of a town-wide Facility Manager position. Initially,we anticipated that in the broadest sense
this Facility Manager would supervise the maintenance of, purchases for, and replacement of town
facilities and related equipment. While the Finance Committee is not a policy-making body, it is
within its purview to make recommendations for roles such as this and to present to the appropriate
boards its suggestions for changes in policy and framework.
Currently, town facilities and properties are maintained by individual departments, such as the
Department of Public Works and the School Department. These properties,termed"903 accounts",
have an assessed value totaling$114,482,000 for land and buildings. The replacement value for these
facilities is estimated to be at least three to four times the assessed value.
The expectation is that the creation of a Facility Manager role would allow North Andover to
achieve greater financial control of existing facilities expenditures and capital improvements. As with
the recently created Purchasing Manager position, such a role would allow for the centralization of
functions and responsibilities. Additionally, it could provide leverage in the establishment of
maintenance contracts and services. And, if the department size expands, it would allow for the
hiring of specialists rather than generalists to fill well-defined roles within the department and could
therefore save money by precluding the need to hire high-priced consultants such as architects for
projects such as roof replacements. The Facilities Manager would also be tasked with keeping
abreast of the public bidding laws and with instituting comprehensive building maintenance
programs,thereby lessening the chance of problems such as legal issues related to compliance or sick
Building-related health problems.
According to the Town Charter, the creation of a position such as this would require the
affirmative vote of four members of the Board of Selectmen and would not become effective until
the position is funded by a vote of Town Meeting.
During the benchmatking process, subcommittee members were in contact with the Facilities
Directors/Managers of towns such as Andover, Danvers, Chelmsford, Hull and Wilmington.
Andover provided us with a lot of information on their department, which they termed to be the
"most sophisticated town Plant and Facilities Department" in the state. Their director, Joseph
Piantedosi, explained that his department provides scheduled and routine maintenance to all Town
and School buildings, building equipment,Parks&Grounds, Cemetery&Forestry,traffic signals&
Town owned street lighting. They maintain the Town fuel depot, and all Town owned vehicles &
motorized equipment and manage rentals in the old Town Hall, athletic fields and school gyms and
auditoriums. The department is also responsible for managing all major building related capital
projects and capital improvements for all areas of responsibility. In addition, they manage all
contracts for energy purchases and manage all mechanical systems through 28 miles of fiber optic
cable,providing systems monitoring,24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Bob Levasseur, Danvers Buildings Supervisor, who has served the town for 20 years in their
DPW Buildings Division,was just as enthusiastic about the role and importance of his department as
Mr. Piantedosi was about the role of the Andover department. The Danvers department has
responsibilities which are quite similar to Andover and Mr. Levasseur's department actually owns all
the town buildings—including the schools. Their school buildings alone total one million square feet
of space. The Danvers staff is responsible for approximately $350,000 worth of capital
improvements annually, as well as for contracting and supervising all other capital improvements,
which they estimate saves "hundreds of thousands of dollars"each year.
The subcommittee also learned that the town of Lexington has instituted a facilities role,
Wakefield's position is in process and Franklin is studying their options. These are only some of the
towns in Massachusetts which have Facilities Departments.
The International Facility Management Association (IFMA) has recently published their findings
and forecasts for 2007. These trends underscore the importance of keeping up with the rapid pace
of change in the facilities field,including regulatory acts such as ADA, emergency preparedness and
disaster recovery, energy management and sustainability, maintenance and replacement issues
surrounding aging buildings, emerging technology, and being proactive in the establishment of
performance and measurement standards.
We believe that by employing a qualified individual with the right education and background in
the role of Facilities Manager, the Town will be able to create a facilities management infrastructure
which will allow us to leverage our facilities expenditures,to better manage our very important land
and buildings, and to plan for their maintenance and improvement in the most fiscally responsible
way-

Memorandum of Agreement
Reorganization of Information Technology
This agreement is between the City of Melrose and the Melrose Public Schools.
Purpose
This agreement is for the purpose of reorganizing and consolidating the information
Technology departments of the City of Melrose and the Melrose Public Schools. The
City of Melrose expects to better manage technology enterprise-wide by improving the
planning, funding, coordination, implementation and support of current and future
technology initiatives.
Current Organization
Currently the City of Melrose and the Melrose Public Schools each have independent
Information Technology departments. There is minimal sharing of resources and no
combined planning for technology. The City Technology Department currently has a
Director and support staff. The School Technology Department has no Director, a
vacant Network Manager position and one Desktop Support Specialist. All budgeting
and planning is done independently.
Proposed Organization
Under the leadership of one Director, the City and School Information Technology
Departments would be combined under an enterprise wide department. All technology
budgeting, planning, purchasing/acquisition and implementation would be decided and
managed through this department. This combined department would have dedicated
City and School support staff divisions. Each division would assume total responsibility
for all support within either the schools or city. Any cross divisional support will be at the
discretion of the Information Technology Director.
Lines of Supervision and Evaluation
The Director of Information Technology City/School would report directly to the Mayor of
the City of Melrose for City operations and all finances. All School operation reporting
lines would be to the Superintendent.
Responsibilities
The responsibilities of each staff member are detailed below. Also please see the

Re: Osgood Smart Growth Overlay District Letter of Approval
Dear Mr. Rees:
Pursuant to MGL, Chapter 40R and 760 CMR 59.05(4), I am pleased to issue this non-expiring Letter of
Approval to the Town of North Andover (Town) for its adoption on June 4, 2007 of the Osgood Smart
Growth Overlay District (District). The District allows for the construction of 530 Incentive Units. The
Town is entitled to a $600,000 Zoning Incentive Payment from the Smart Growth Housing Trust Fund
established by outside section 26, subsection 35AA of Chapter 149 of the Acts of 2004.
This Letter of Approval is subject to the following conditions:
1. If a building permit has not been issued for a Bonus Unit in the District within three years of the date of
the Zoning Incentive Payment, or if a building permit was issued within such three-year period, but no
certificate of occupancy for such Bonus Unit was issued within two years thereafter, the Town must
submit satisfactory evidence, in the form of certification by the Plan Approval Authority, zoning
enforcement officer or public works official, of the start of construction within that time period of one or
more Projects as defined by 760 CMR 59.02, or be subject to revocation under 760 CMR 59.07(3) and the
repayment of monies under 760 CMR 59.06(3). The start of construction requires evidence satisfactory to
the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) that construction activity has occurred
in good faith on the Project, such as the pouring of foundations or footings, or utility relocation, or the
remediation of hazardous materials on the site, and provided that such construction is continued through to
completion. The three-year time period is extended by the time that a Project on which construction would
otherwise have started within the three-year time period is subject to legal or administrative appeal or
challenge, or if the proponent is actively pursuing other required permits or there is other good cause for
the failure to start construction.
2. The Town designates a smart growth reporting officer required by MGL, Chapter 40S. Such officer is
responsible for preparing a smart growth address list, based on occupancy permits issued in the District,
and transmitting such list and supporting documentation to DHCD.

3. The Town designates the municipal official responsible for filing an Annual Update with DHCD on or
before July 31 of each year. The Annual Update shall contain the information specified 760 CMR 59.07.
4. Prior to the issuance of a building permit and marketing of a unit for a Project within the District, the
affordable units shall be subject to an Affirmative Fair Marketing Plan approved by DHCD. Such Plan
must describe the resident selection process for the affordable units and must set forth a plan for
affirmative marketing that provides maximum opportunity to low or moderate income households,
including minority households.
In order to receive the $600,000 Incentive Payment, the Town must execute a Commonwealth of
Massachusetts Standard Contract Form. Please contact Don Schmidt at (617) 573-1363 to discuss the

II EXECUTIVE SESSION
IIA Collective Bargaining: Enclosed is a letter from Town Counsel Urbelis discussing a recent
court case in which a retired employee was denied coming back on to the town's health insurance plan
after initially declining the benefit when first retired. The court ruled that this denial was appropriate
since the governing body had adopted regulations prohibiting this practice. There are pros and cons to
adopting a similar rule in North Andover that the Board should discuss.

RE: HEALTH INSURANCE
Dear Mark:
i
Last week the Supreme Judicial Court decided Cioch v. Treasurer of Ludlow. This
decision, pursuant to G.L. ch. 32B, upholds the right of the Board of Selectmen to adopt a policy
or regulation (or town meeting to adopt a bylaw) which bars a retired municipal employee from
enrolling in group health insurance if the retiree did not opt to enroll in the coverage at the time
of retirement: The plaintiff, a retired teacher, took coverage under her husband's employer's
group health insurance policy at the time of her retirement. Later, when the husband retired, the
plaintiff and her husband sought to obtain coverage under the town's group policy. When
Ludlow denied enrollment,plaintiff brought suit.
The Court decided that the town is free to adopt a policy limiting enrollment to active
employees, provided the policy provides for continued coverage of those employees during their
retirement.
Please call if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,
Thomas J. U elis

To all;
At tonight's Selectmen's meeting I intend to ask the Board to change its meeting schedule in December from the
3rd and the 17th to the 3rd and the 10th. This would allow the Selectmen to hold their tax classification workshop
on the 3rd and their tax classification public hearing/vote on the 10th. Please let me know from your perspectives
if this new meeting schedule creates any 'agita' for you, especially since the Selectmen will not be meeting again
until January.
Thanks,
Mark
