Mayor Marty Walsh is asking municipalities around the Commonwealth to observe One Boston Day which
is intended to focus not on one city but on the entire region as a day to honor and remember all those

Citizen Petitions
Article 30- Change Voting Age to Sixteen for Town Elections-Celia DiSalvo, Adam Magaletta and Joy
Duboff
Celia DiSalvo, Joy Duboff and Adam Magaletta each spoke regarding the warrant article they submitted
to lower the voting age to sixteen for Town Elections, explaining that many 16 and 17 year olds want to
Board of Selectmen Minutes April 14, 2015 2
be part of the process and asked the Board to recommend favorable action on the article. The chair
opened the meeting up for public comment regarding Article 30.
Christina Damian of 30 Oxbow Circle, spoke in favor of the article and stated that age should not be a
barrier.
Ted Tripp of 262 Boston Street, stated that he opposed the article and that 16 and 17 year olds probably
have little idea of what the Town needs are and listed a number of other laws that have an age cutoff.
Article 31-Change in Liquor Quota, All Alcoholic Beverages for The Cork Stop, Inc., 1593 Osgood Street-
Sophia Stamos
Frank Stamos and Valerie Gidras-Papantonakis from The Cork Stop, Inc., explained they have been
operating with a Beer&Wine license for approximately 7 months and would like to expand to a full liquor
license. In response to a request from the Board, The Town Manager explained that that statute dictates
the number of liquor licenses based upon population so the only way businesses can exceed the limit is
through a town meeting vote and approval of the legislature.
Town Hall Expansion/Renovation Project
The Town Manager explained the next project in the Facilities Master Plan is the renovation of the current
fire station into expanded municipal spaces to bring Community Development offices back to Town Hall.
A working committee of employees and others provided feedback to determine the interior layout of the
building. Jeff Shaw and Chris Logan of Donham &Sweeney Architects and Dan Pallotta of P3, the project
manager, presented three options for the fagade and front courtyard improvements to town hall as part of
the expansion project. Chris Logan explained that the elevation at the Fire station is different than that at
town hall so they needed to take that into consideration when designing. The Board was concerned about
the maintenance required to have annuals in the courtyard, so requested that trees or bushes be planted
instead. The Town Manager explained the next steps are to take feedback from the Board, make some
changes, have a public meeting to solicit feedback from the community, and then have the architects
present a revised plan at a future meeting.
Eric Kfoury-Storefront Improvement Program and possible Farmer's Market
Eric Kfoury, Director of Community and Economic Development, explained to the Board that his office is
researching the possibility of having a Farmer's Market once a week at a downtown location. Mr. Kfoury
explained that survey that was given last month regarding the downtown area indicated the one thing an
overwhelming number of respondents requested was a Farmer's Market. Mr. Kfoury also briefed the
Board on the idea of a storefront improvement program for businesses on Main Street. The purpose
would be to address variations of esthetics and have a more consistent theme. The Town Manager
explained that the program would loan money to businesses to improve their storefronts and one possible
source of funds would be the proceeds from the sale of the Bradstreet School property.
Spring 2015 Clean Up Events
The Board was provided with a memorandum from Department of Public Works Director, Bruce
Thibodeau, explaining the various spring clean-up events that are happening in town.
The Town Manager announced the commuter bus service to Boston has begun and the town is exploring
ways to modify the service to make it more appealing to a wider range of commuters.

"Ask the Manager'
Question submitted: "Do we currently provide funding to MBTA and'MVRTA?" The Town Manager
explained that even though we do not have a commuter rail in town, the town gets charged based upon a
state calculation. If MBTA service was added, the assessment would increase. The town is charged
$113,000 from MVRTA. The town pays more than the services it receives, which is why there is no
additional charge for the new commuter bus service.

Mr. Andrew Maylor, Town Manager

North Andover, MA 01845
Dear Mr. Maylor,
On behalf of the North Andover Booster Club Little League, I would like to thank the
entire Board of Selectmen for their past two years of approval for our Opening Day Parades.
This year will make our third annual parade. It has been such a great success and all the
players from T-Ball through Majors have had great time marching in it. We would like to
continue this tradition and would like the use of Merrimack and Water Street to Main Street to
Waverley Road to Dana Street on Saturday, May 2"d 2015 starting at 8:15am for the third
annual Little League Opening Day Parade. The parade will start at 9:OOam sharp at the corner
of Main and Water Street and finish by10:00 am at the Carl Thomas Complex. We will utilize
sign boards and local media to notify the public about road closures prior to the date of the
parade and during the parade. Also, there will no distribution of candy. No candy will be thrown
from any town vehicles or by people on foot.
I had a meeting with Lt. Gray from the North Andover Police Dept., which took place on
February 23rd to review and discuss all the aspects of the parade route and safety concerns.
The parade will form at 8:15am at the intersection of Merrimack and Water Street. It will proceed
down Water Street onto Main Street and then will turn left onto Waverly Road. From Waverely
Road and then turn right onto Dana Street and will conclude at the Carl Thomas Complex for
opening ceremony.
One new addition this year to the parade is the town's softball program. They have
accepted our invitation to join us in marching in the parade to represent their program. The
NABCLL is very excited about the new addition to the parade.
NABCLL would like to continue extending the invitation and welcome all Town Officials
to march in the parade and as well as join us at the Opening Day Ceremony. I'm hoping our
third annual parade will continue a tradition for all current and future players as well as the entire
community of North Andover.
I look forward to hearing from you in the very near future with any questions or concerns
regarding my request.
Sincerely,
Marc Cooperstein
NABCLL Parade Organizer

Re: Kittredge Memorial
Meg Coulter requests the Board add her mother's name to the Kittredge Memorial, which is located in
front of the Hay Scales Exchange. The Board of Selectmen has done this once before. In 1984, the
Board of Selectmen unanimously voted to add Dr. Edwina Kittredge to the memorial at no cost to the
Town. The cost of adding another small plaque, similar to the one for Edwina, is approximately$860.

Due to the increase of growth in our rural areas, we have added an
additional trash truck to our Wednesday route. We now have three trucks out on

putting a strain on our general maintenance section. It will be difficult to
continue to provide all services which we have been accustom to without
additional personnel being added to this department.

year , and I would like to thank the people of North Andover for the privilege
of serving as your Highway Surveyor.

Re: Amended Financial Reserve Policies
I
Hello,
On March 26, 2015 1 sent you the following email:
As you may recall anew set of Financial Reserve Policies was approved by the BOS and FinCom last February. With
a warrant article to establish a SPED Stabilization Fund now on the draft warrant, 1 have amended the policy to
incorporate the guidelines for use of those funds. The proposed language has been reviewed by Ray Santilli, Lyne
Savage and Jim Mealey.
Additionally,you may recall that the town established by town meeting vote a OPEB Trust Fund in 2010. A
suggestion to place money into this fund was opposed by the FinCom two years ago and in the alternative a
stabilization fund was approved and funded with$1 million. The FinCom has revisited this idea and feels that there
is a benefit to having both types of funds. The warrant contains an article to add to the OPED Trust fund$500k
from the health insurance trust fund. The Financial Reserve Policies have been amended to allow this as well
The Finance Committee will be reviewing these policies and will likely vote on them at their meeting in early April.
The policy will then need to be adopted by the BOS. This will be on as a consent item on your next agenda.
P.S.The Finance Committee reviewed the Policy at great length at their April Stn meeting and will vote
th
on the amended Policy on April 15

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: Board of Selectmen
From: Andrew W. Maylor,Town Manager
Cc: Laurie Burlaff
North Andover Finance Committee
Date: April 8, 2015
Re: Proposed Solar Related Articles
There are two solar projects in the pipeline. One contemplated for Osgood Landing that was rejected by
the building inspector for zoning reasons, but that will likely be appealed to the Zoning Board of
Appeals. The other is on a parcel owned by the Brooks School across the street from the school on
Great Pond Road.
Solar projects like these require Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) agreements to eliminate the
uncertainty of how the equipment will be taxed. The authorization to enter into a PILOT requires town
meeting approval. If one or both of these projects reach the development stage after the warrant
closes, then you could not execute an agreement until after the next annual town meeting, unless you
wanted to call for a special town meeting, which seems unreasonable. Therefore, I have worked with
Town Counsel on two articles which would allow the town to enter into a PILOT if either project
becomes a reality. Additionally,the proposed project at Osgood would be designed to generate net
metering credits which the town could use to offset a portion of the cost of electricity for public
buildings, this requires an additional article.The specific terms of the PILOTs and the Net Metering
Agreement would have to be negotiated and the agreements ratified by you. Please note that these
agreements are now commonplace and follow a framework that would be the basis for our agreements.
If these projects do not move forward there is no risk oncost, but if they do we will be in a better
position to complete the business deal. I would suggest these get added to the warrant as the last two
financial articles. It should be noted that similar articles have been adopted by dozens of towns in
Massachusetts.

Board of Selectmen Recommendation:
Finance Committee Recommendation: Favorable Action
EXPLANATION: This Article is the fiscal year 2016 appropriation of funds for the
Town of North Andover. This annual budget is a declaration of our Town's priorities a
statement on how we choose to allocate the limited collective resources that exist. The
operating budget enables the day-to-day operation functioning of the town by paying for
recurring expenditures for programs' and 'services, employee salaries, rents, utilities,
supplies, insurance and debt service. The Library, Schools, Police Department, Fire
Department, Elder Services and dozens of other town departments rely on this funding to
provide services to you on a daily basis. The level of funding, and the choice of how we
8
it
allocate that funding at Town 'Meeting determines the level of services that visitors,
residents and businesses receive in the coming year.'
The operating budget consists of local aid received from the Commonwealth, our local
taxes (property, excise and business) and other fees collected by the Town. All town
activities, not specifically directed to other accounts such as Water or Sewer Enterprise
Funds, are funded through this budget. As a result, most of the Town's operating
expenditures are paid through this appropriation.
Rather than being asked to vote on each line item, Town Meeting is asked to vote' on
various sub-totals (bolded lines in the above schedule) reflecting the overall budget for each
Town department. By approving the sub-totals, ;rather than individual'line items, the
Town Manager will have spending flexibility within those programs so long as the Town
Manager'does not exceed the sub-total amount for the department. A majority of the
Town Meeting has the right to vote on individual line items (or in fact, further subdivide
them)if so inclined (although this would limit the Town Manager's budget flexibility).
Article 17: Appropriation — Water Enterprise Fund for Fiscal Year 2016. To see if the
Town will vote to appropriate the amount of $5,322,268 in aggregate, for the purpose listed
under column "FY16 Recommendation: Town Manager, Board of Selectmen, Finance
Committee" for the Fiscal Year beginning July 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2016; without
regards to individual line items, and to operate the Water Enterprise Fund, that $5,322,268 be
raised from Water receipts and from these receipts $923,227 be transferred to the General Fund
for indirect cost and $635,000 to Capital Projects,
or to take any other action relative thereto.

Community Preservation Committee
Board of Selectmen Recommendation:
Finance Committee Recommendation:
EXPLANATION: The Community Preservation Act (CPA) addresses community issues
such as acquisition and preservation of open space, creation and support of affordable
housing, acquisition and preservation of historic buildings and landscapes, and creation
and support of recreational opportunities. 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 on property taxes with two exemptions: $100,000 of the value of every residential
16
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.North Andover
received matching funds equal to$498,619 or 35.4% in FY15 from the Commonwealth.

and Board of Selectmen shall deem to be in the best interest of the Town, and to take such other
actions as may be necessary to implement and administer such agreement,
or take any other action relative thereto.
Board of Selectmen
Board of Selectmen Recommendation:
Finance Committee Recommendation:
EXPLANATION: The property owner and/or the selected developer of the Solar PV
Installation at the above referenced property will be required to pay property taxes for the
assets which are installed on the site. The Massachusetts Department of Revenue allows
Towns to enter into Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) agreements which enable the Town
and the solar developer to iestablish a fixed PILOT that meets the Town Tax Assessor's
valuation'for the term of the agreement. This PILOT would provide the Town with a
known annual taxable income stream and would reduce tax uncertainty for the developer.

mechanism that enables municipalities to acquire electricity credits from renewably energy
projects that can be used to offset their own electricity costs. The purpose of this article is to

metered electricity credits from a proposed solar photovoltaic energy generating facility to be
developed at the property located at 1600 Osgood Street,North Andover, shown on Assessor's

Karen,
The Fire Departments recommendations for a Common Victualler's License for a proposed new business,
The Green Apple Caf6 to be located at 11-15 First St.are as follows.
The business has been operating as a pizza and sub shop and is equipped with certain fire safety features.
I have been in contact with both parties and have discussed what will be needed to continue operating as a
restaurant.
The fire suppression system in place,will have to inspected by a licensed fire suppression technician and
comply with the current fire codes. This inspection will include the hood and exhaust section as well as
the suppression system itself.
I have been working with the previous owner to have the property's fire alarm system inspected and
tested.He has done this and replaced a couple defective detectors.I witnessed a test of the system on
March 24,2015 and signed a certificate of compliance.
Once the suppression system for the grill is completed the Fire Department will be satisfied, and
recommends the restaurant be open for business.
If anyone has any questions or concerns please contact me at your earliest convenience.
Respectfully,
Lt.Frederick McCarthy

Joyce,
I do not have concerns about Academy Road or Greene/Middlesex. I am assuming the Great Pond Road request is
related to the construction of the new Rea`s Pond pump station?That is going to be filed with the commission shortly.
I have contacted the representative for the Carlton/Jonnycake project to see how much excavation will be done as there
are several wetlands located on those streets. I will get back to you as soon as I here from the contact Alek.
I believe I reviewed and signed off on Quail Run Rd last fall but will call to confirm that nothing has changed on that one
either,

Chief Paul J.Gallagher
TO: Andrew Maylor,Town Manager

FROM: Paul J. Gallagher, Chief of Police
DATE: April 5,2015
RE: March 2015 Crime Statistics
i
Once again North Andover made national news,this time when a resident hosted an underage
drinking party and allegedly charged an admission to minors. Police were called to the address
for a complaint by neighbors about an underage drinking party. On-scene Officers reported at
least 30 minors inside the residence with at least the same number fleeing through the woods.
This incident tied up the whole shift for a few hours to secure the property,make sure minors
were picked up by their parents,and search the wooded area for remaining minors who may have
been injured or intoxicated when they fled. The homeowner was arrested and is facing some
severe charges. The Police are working with the District Attorney's office as this sort of crime is
taken very seriously.
Opioid abuse continues to be a concern of not only the police department,but also many
residents. This month,once again, an Officer came across a subject unresponsive in his vehicle
at a local gas station. The vehicle was still in reverse,the person's foot was on the brake, and in
his hand was drug paraphernalia. The Officer realized the dangerousness of the situation and
checked on the subject to make sure he was not overdosing. When the subject awoke,he
immediately shoved the paraphernalia out of site and removed his foot from the brake. As the
car began to roll backwards towards the gas tanks of the business,the Officer pulled the
uncooperative subject out of the vehicle,jumped in to put the car in park,then turned his
attention back to the subject who had shoved his hands into his pocket and tried to ingest the
remaining narcotics. After a struggle, the subject was placed under arrest and brought back to
the station. This scene is becoming more and more of a trend. As a result, Officers are training
to not only revive subjects overdosing,but also handling volatile situations such as this. Another
aspect the Police Department is concentrating on is the secondary crimes related to drug use.
These include motor vehicle breaks,shoplifting and larcenies, and operating a motor vehicle
while under the influence of a drug.

A newer Officer, assigned to the midnight shift,observed a suspicious vehicle in a mall on Route
114 and queried the license plate. The car came back stolen and sped off into Lawrence and a
pursuit ensued. The Officer conducted the pursuit in a most professional manner while being
monitored by the Sergeant. With the help of Lawrence and State Police,the vehicle was stopped
and after a few short foot pursuits,four subjects were arrested and brought back to the North
Andover Police Station for booking.The suspects had criminal records and we believed the
Officer stopped a planned burglary.This incident illustrates how important Police Officers from
different agencies train and work together and follow their policies and procedures.
Several officers participated in Read Across America at the Franklin and Kittredge Schools.
Police Officers and other town officials read to a classroom of elementary school children and
answered questions from the students.
A final inspection was completed and the CCTV for the Lawrence Municipal Airport is fully
operational in our Communications Center.This addition will aid police in providing security at
the airport and has recording capability to assist with investigations involving the airport.
All Sergeants and several Officers attended report writing training sponsored by the Essex
County District Attorney's Office. Merrimack College provided the venue and services for this
valuable training.
The Police Department worked in partnership with the North Andover Senior Center,Essex
County Sheriffs Department,NA Cam and Mass School of Law,to film a mock trial involving a
contractor paving scam. The mock trial is meant to take some of the mystery out of the trial
process for victim's that may be afraid to report a crime for fear of testifying in court.This was
also done to show what a potential contractor scam might look like.The mock trial will air on
the local television station once it is edited.
Governor Baker has proclaimed the last week of March and the month of April as"Motorcycle
Awareness Period". To make motorist more aware of the number of motorcycles on the road,
the Police Department is working with the Massachusetts Motorcyclist Survivor's Fund to
promote the"Check Twice-Save a Life"campaign.The department is promoting this campaign
through social media and signage in town.
The Department's School Resource Officers attended a seminar on Teen Dating Violence.This
was hosted by the Essex County DA's office and focused on identifying and dealing with
possible victims and abusers at an early age.
Detectives assigned to the Criminal Investigations Division completed a 21/2 year joint
investigation with the DEA when 7 individuals were arrested for multiple offenses involving the
illegal sale of narcotics.This criminal enterprise used fraudulent prescriptions to obtain opiates
such as Oxycontin and Percocet and sold the prescription weds on the street. More than 3,000
pills were illegally obtained and sold at a street value of over$90,000.00.
