Follow up on Legal Counsel Interviews: Reference Checks and Review of Ratings (non-priced)

scoring by the Board, Ms. Lemieux and Mr. Burney. Ratings ranged from not advantageous, unacceptable,
somewhat advantageous, advantageous or highly advantageous. Miyares & Harrington's overall rating results
showed 4 out of 7 evaluators rated them highly advantageous; Murphy, Hess, Toomey and Lehane showed 3
out of 7 evaluators rated them as highly advantageous; Deutsch Williams showed 5 out of 7 rated them as
highly advantageous and Mead, Talerman & Costa rated 5 out of 7 as highly advantageous. The next goal is to
match the most advantageous non-priced proposal with the best price proposal.
Ms. Lemieux received 13 out of 16 reference checks back on the firms and presented them as well as their fee
schedules. The Board requested Ms. Lemieux separate the total hours over one year from KP-Law invoices of

Complete Streets Policy Review and Possible Vote to Adopt
Ms. Lemieux referred to the draft Complete Streets policy. Chairman Toale, DPW Director Rodriquenz., Land
Use Director Burney and she had met and put together the draft policy. The policy takes into account
MassDOT's criteria guidelines for the Complete Streets program. Once the Board votes to adopt the policy, it
will be uploaded into the MassDOT's website online portal and we would receive notification within three
weeks on our score. A score of 80 or above would generate funding of $50,000 for technical assistance which
would aid in the prioritization plan for our Complete Streets projects. The next step would be to solicit bids for
technical assistance and putting together that plan. After some discussion the wording under Implementation
(1) was changed to an advisory group of relevant stakeholders will be appointed by the Board of Selectmen
within six months of approval of this policy by MassDOT." Mr. Ebersole suggested waiting for approval of this
policy until Ms. Bertram returns next week as she had some concerns. He thanked Ms. Lemieux for all her
work. He asked if the Planning Board needs to revise their subdivision rules and regulations or policies to be
consistent with this. Land Use Director Burney stated yes there will need to be some work done. The discussion
will be continued.
Bylaw Review Committee Recommendations
Mr. Ebersole drafted a redlined version illustrating the bolded language that is going to be changed and
strikethroughs for provisions that are proposed to be deleted. Mr. Ebersole stated he did not put any editorial
comments but had some personal opinions on the following:
ARTICLE II TOWN ADMINISTRATION Add new bolded language to SECTION 1: SECTION 1. All Boards,
standing committees and officers of the Town, shall keep proper records of all their doings and accounts. The records and
vouchers of such boards, committees and officers shall be kept in their respective offices and shall not be removed
thereform; such records and vouchers shall be open to the inspection of the citizens of the town, the said records and
vouchers remaining under the supervision of the board, committee or officer having charge thereof.
Minutes of all town boards and committees must be approved in 30 days and periodic review of executive session
quarterly. The minutes of all town boards and committees meetings shall be filed with the Town Clerk within two (2)
===PAGE 3===
reeks after those minutes are approved by the board, and the minutes of all executive sessions of those boards an
ommittees shall be tiled with the Town Clerk within two (2) weeks of those minutes being made public. Minutes shal
include the material substance of the discussions, including votes, and need not be a verbatim record unless otherwise
required by law.
Mr. Ebersole noted this was a good item to have. Mr. Toale asked within 30 days of what, the meeting? Mr.
Ebersole stated he would make notes and forward them to Town Clerk Herrick and Committee member Rob
Bowen. Ms. Luck believed having minutes approved within 30 days was an unreasonable request adding there
are many boards that are unable to do that. Mr. Alonzo suggested approving them within two or three
consecutive meetings. Further discussion ensued on what is a reasonable time to complete minutes and
frequency of some board meetings. Mr. Ebersole will pass these concerns on to the committee.
Repeal SECTION 6 as it is covered in Town Charter, section 3-2, part (c).
SECTION 6. The Board of Selectmen shall have the right and power to revoke and annul any license, whenever any of
the terms and conditions of such license may have been broken, or any infraction of the laws of the Commonwealth has
been committed by the licensees.
Town Charter section 3-2 part (c) Board of Selectmen Licensing Authority reads:
The board of selectmen shall be a licensing board for the town and shall have the power to issue licenses as otherwise
authorized by law, to make all necessary rules and regulations regarding the issuance of such licenses, to attach conditions
and impose restrictions on any such license it may issue as it deems to be in the public interest and to enforce all laws
relating to all businesses for which it issues any license.
Mr. Ebersole stated repealing Section 6 is warranted because the Charter covers that.
Repeal SECTION 8 as the topic is covered by the Massachusetts Conflict of Interest Law.
SECTION 8. Except as otherwise permitted or required by law, no person holding an elective office shall perform work of
ether serves for the town for remuneration se long as such work is subject to the direct control or supervision of the Board
er Department of which such person is a member.
Section & is already covered by the Conflict of Interest law.
Repeal SECTION 12 as Massachusetts General Laws lists these fees.
SECTION 12 License and Permit Fee schedule adopted April 6, 1981 Annual Town Meeting, Article 23. (See "LICENSE
AND PERMIT FEE SCHEDULE") April 1981, 1982, May 14, 1988 Art 61.
(36 sections listed)
Mr. Ebersole stated Massachusetts General Laws lists these fees. He will be recommending not doing so. Mr.
Ebersole reported the committee did not want to be redundant to a fee schedule that was in the statute but the
statute states unless otherwise provided by bylaw the following fees shall be as follows...all this time we have
increased the fees so our schedule is the current fee schedule that was reviewed recently to be in line with other
communities.
ARTICLE V USE OF PUBLIC WAYS
Amend all language references to "man" or "men" to gender neutral language in entire ARTICLE V.
Mr. Ebersole stated this was standard practice.
Expand language in SECTION 2 regarding street to include "right of way".
SECTION 2. No person shall break or dig up the wrought part of any highway or street right of way, or place within the
limits of any street or highway street right of way any obstruction or rubbish, stones, ashes, or any animal or vegetable
substance or offal, or move any building into or along the same, without a license from the Selectmen, the Chief
Administrative Financial Officer (or equivalent), or DPW Director or his or her designated Agent.
===PAGE 4===
The DPW Director had suggested they include the words "right of way."
Repeal SECTION 13 as this section is a redundant statement of the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board
Requirements.
SECTION 13
(a) Any person or body that has lawful control of a public or private way or of improved or enclosed property used
ass off street parking areas for businesses, shopping malls, theaters, auditoriums, sporting or recreational

a means of egress to a street or public way.
(d) The punishment for violations of subparagraphs (a) through (c) shall be $100.00 for each offense.
Mr. Ebersole stated his only question is do the Police have the power to issue tickets under the state regulations
as opposed to the bylaw? If they don't, then we can't enforce it.
ARTICLE VI GOVERNMENT OF TOWN MEETINGS
Repeal SECTION 3.
SECTION 3. No money shall be raised or appropriated at a special town meeting except by a two thirds vote of the voters

regular meetings.

Committee Reports:
Ms. Luck reported the School Committee meeting last week was cancelled due to illness. She stated she
attended the MA Congress of Lakes and Ponds Associations workshop last Friday. DEP Wetlands and
Waterways Program representative presented on the new Chapter 91 General License Self Certification process
for residential small dock and pier owners, which is applicable to all great ponds, navigable rivers and tidelands,
Whalom Lake is Lunenburg's one great pond. All such docks and piers are required to be licensed and recorded
on property deeds. She suggested Lunenburg be brought up to speed for this process. The Storm Water Task
Force is meeting on Thursday.
Mr. Alonzo reported Cable Advisory meets tomorrow. Finance Committee meets on Thursday. School Building
Committee meets next Wednesday.
Mr. Ebersole reported Sewer Commission is meeting tonight; one big topic continues to be infiltration inflow;
trying to remove the extra water in the sewer system.
Town Manager Report:
Ms. Lemieux reported the Board has received a copy of an indoor air quality report for Town Hall conducted by
the Department of Public Health in December 2016. They came to perform air quality testing and make visual
observations of the building. Results of the air quality test indicated the carbon dioxide levels, temperature,
humidity and particulate matter concentrations were below the recommended level and there was no detection
of carbon monoxide. However, the visual observations include bird waste in the attic, high levels of moisture in
the basement that have led to mold and a ventilation system that is not working properly. Mr. Lemieux and
DPW Director Rodriquenz have been working together and taken the following steps to address the issues. A
commercial restoration and cleaning company has been contacted to look at the basement and attic. They
provided an estimate for cleaning the attic bird waste of $7,400. She contacted Massachusetts Interlocal
Insurance Association (MIIA) to file a claim for mold remediation in the basement but unfortunately learned
today from the claim adjuster that it will not be a covered incident. If there had been a recent incident that
caused water damage, such as a broken pipe or structure that led to the mold, it would have been covered.
At this time we do not have a cost estimate for the mold remediation. Outside of the mold remediation which
includes restoration of records that we cannot destroy, there are a number of issues to get the basement to be
weathertight. Staff has been advised not to enter the basement until further notice. The DPW Director has
contacted a pest control company to control the rodent problem in the building; they will be working on sealing
all holes to prevent future access by squirrels or other critters. The ventilation system and other building repairs
will need to be addressed separately and a scope of work will need to be put together to establish a basis for
getting bids for performing that work. Overall we are at a preliminary stage of assessment. We will address the
attic and basement situations first.
Ms. Lemieux reported she has received notification today from the Department of Revenue regarding the
Community Compact Program and the submittal of our three best practices submitted. We will receive a grant
up to $10,000 for the cost of a cyber security assessment; a grant up to $10,000 to implement a citizen
communication engagement plan and a grant up to $25,000 for the stormwater measures to be implemented.
She is working with the IT Director to finalize the scope of work for the cyber security assessment and the
citizen communication engagement plan. She has contacted the Storm Water Task Force to request they provide
a scope of work to implement the stormwater measures.
