there is a new law that supercedes the town bylaw to allow the town to deny local licenses and permits to any
taxpayer who has neglected or refused to pay local taxes. However 14 day written notice of a hearing is required
to be given to to the licensee. Ms. Bertitam urged Ms. Williams to set up a payment plan with the Sewer
Commission.

Discussion of Hiring a Stormwater Expert
Ms. Luck stated she has attended many stormwater workshops and one recommendation is to look at what you
are planning to pave and determine what stormwater issues can be economically addressed to further the
mission of preserving the integrity of the roadways, reduce road flooding and eliminate some of pollutants from
entering the waterways by redirecting storm water. She stated she had reason to believe by setting aside less
than 10% of the funds that have been targeted for storm water for an engineer would enable them to develop a
plan to address this issue. She believed a plan such as this would allow the town to apply these efforts to fulfill
the requirements of the new Ms4 permit, demonstrate to the townspeople that we are serious about stormwater
management and provide a model of how successful stormwater management improves our roadways. This
would provide a real-time assessment of stormwater management that we can use at budget time. She
introduced Mike Clark from DCI Engineering and stated he would like to address the Board.
Mr. Clark stated he started working with the town on the new Ms4 permit. You have funding set aside for
repaving and you want to dedicate some of that toward stormwater management so you don't have to return
later and tear up new roads. There is design and permitting but there is also implementation and procurement.
Traditionally you would rely on the engineer for a standard design. There may be other alternatives to doing
that, but at this point he didn't know enough about the watershed and paving plans to determine that. He also
hasn't talked to the DPW Director so he didn't know where he would stand on this. Conservation Commission
is also involved in this process.
===PAGE 7===
Ms. Bertram stated this Board will be holding a workshop meeting to discuss pavement management, identify
stormwater issues on the planned roads and discuss the Complete Streets Program. She noted he is researching
what has been done up to the present regarding the Ms4 permit process. Is this information going to be helpful
in determining future stormwater improvements? Mr. Clark stated he just signed a contract with the town last
week. As we go through the permit process, there is definitely information there. Another key issue is to look at
the pavement management plan.
Mr. Ebersole stated he thought procurement at this point was too early. While he supports the concept, he
wanted to see the information we already have and participate in the pavement management plan/streets
workshop first with the DPW Director. Ms. Bertram agreed and thought a review of the data we already have
was the first step.
Mr. Clark stated from a planning view you look at all the existing state and local GIS mapping and identify
where water is being discharged. Then the Town can prioritize locations and strategize.
Mr. Toale stated there is a stormwater task force that is addressing that, a pavement management plan and there
is the Conservation Commission. All of them intersect at various points. Who do we want coming to the
workshop and what is the desired outcome of it?
Ms. Bertram stated there are the pavement management plan and the Complete Streets program. We need to
know which roads are coming up for paving and what the drainage issues are and what the proposal is to
address them. That is the stormwater piece. The second piece is the Complete Streets Program and a discussion
about whether it fits Lunenburg.
Mr. Ebersole stated he saw this as expanding and enhancing the pavement management plan. Further discussion
ensued
DPW Director Rodriquenz stated when this plan was formed we estimated the pavement and stormwater
improvement costs, which was difficult to do. $500,000 was dedicated to stormwater. We consider the
subsurface utilities; we always considered these types of things, especially drainage. This is something
we've been doing all along. In terms of soil conditions, how the roads work, the condition of the structures, he
believed he was the best person to make that decision. Where we really need help with is to review existing
conditions which is time consuming and labor intensive. We combine the structure analysis with the cleaning of
the catch basins so we know what we are doing before we pave.
Another component of stormwater is where the water goes and many times it affects private property. We need
to work with residents and get neighborhoods involved. We don't have easements. He has been working with an
experienced certified horticulturist and other companies on rainwater gardens and the local micro-climate.
There are a lot of things in process.
Mr. Ebersole stated when we get to paving we should advertise it so people are aware. We can talk to property
owners about granting an easement for placing a rain garden. Ms. Bertram stated this is the kind of dialogue we
want to have at the workshop. Mr. Toale suggested scheduling this as soon as possible after the new Town
Manager starts, probably February. Ms. Luck thanked Mr. Clark for coming in this evening.
There was no further public comment.
