Complete Streets Tier 3 Project Application
Ms. Lemieux reported this item is back before the Board, but is new to Chairman Alonzo and Mr.
Jeffreys. We are now on the MassDOT approval portion of the application. The areas we discussed
previously are the Main Street and Whalom Town Beach areas. She introduced Rich Benevento of
World Tech Engineering. Also present from World Tech was Bill Mertz. DPW Director Rodriquenz was
also present.
Mr. Benevento stated they looked at the projects that were under consideration last time and modified
both area projects. They reduced the Main Street area from four to three tasks. He added this is a
competitive program and they were looking for as many boxes to check off on the application as
possible to ensure approval. The beach project funding request is $220,000 and the Main Street project
is $230,000.
The beach project only checks off one box (provides pedestrian accommodation). The Main Street
project checks off many boxes. We are trying to assist you to identify the best projects) that will be
accepted by MassDOT. Sometimes it takes several attempts due to the competitiveness for the funding.
Mr. Mertz covered some of the reasons projects are accepted such as how many people it impacts,
intersection and pedestrian/vehicular safety, seasonal traffic etc.
Discussion ensued on timing of the projects with the paving management program, ADA requirements,
and other issues, such as increased housing near the Whalom area project.
Mr. Alonzo asked the Board what they would like to do as a decision had to be made due to the
impending deadline.
Mr. Jeffreys trusted World Tech's suggestions due to their experience with Complete Streets. He along
with Ms. Adams believed the Whalom area should be included in the application due to the safety
issues. They both agreed on removing improvements in the Village Area/Memorial Drive (#8).
Mr. McQuaid stated while he agreed the Whalom area is a worthwhile project, he did not believe it was
right for the Complete Street application as it does not meet the criteria we want to present to the state.
He added if he was going to remove one, he would not pick #8. That area is the most trafficed area out
===PAGE 3===
delhought the beden drea provemens were do temporn de g Wronges s opinon
that the Whalom project is premature and does not address all the issues in the area. Mr. Alonzo liked
that application alternative #1 showed a unified plan and checks off more of the boxes and addresses all
the elements of town center that was discussed on the walkability study.
Ms. Adams believed the project description for Whalom addressed all the issues. Mr. McQuaid noted all
it was doing was adding a sidewalk which Mr. Rodriquenz pointed out would eliminate the parallel
parking there due sidewalk and curbing taking up more road area.
Motion: K. Adams
2nd: M. Jeffreys

Vote: 2 in favor, 3 against (Luck, McQuaid, Alonzo)

Discussion: Mr. Jeffreys stated he would support the motion because it is going to pass and thanked
World Tech for their work. He believed Whalom area needs to be addressed at some point. Ms. Luck
agreed
Vote: 4 in favor, 1 against (Adams)
Mr. Alonzo stated alternative # 1 application will be submitted as presented. He thanked Mr. Benevento,
Mr. Mertz, Mr. Rodriquenz and Ms. Lemieux for all their work. Mr. Benevento stated notifications from
MassDOT should come by the end of the year.
OLD BUSINESS
1. Discussion about estimate for repairs to old Primary School
Ms. Lemieux referred the Board to the first item in her Town Manager report
"Following the September 10th Selectmen's meeting discussion on the estimate for the identified repairs thatthe
APDCrequested the Town undertake in orderto prevent further deterioration ofthatbuilding, I met with the DPW
Director and the Facilities Director to review the Facilities budget and the projects that were identified to be
undertaken this fiscal year. One discussion point that we did not go over at the September 10* meeting thatwas
in the Facilities Director's estimate, was a disclaimer that"the roofrepairs do not include unseenstructural
damagethatmay be presentfrom weatherdamage, security monitoring, and electrical costs." Ihavesince
contacted Vertex, the firm that conducted the Property Condition Assessment on that building, to get an estimate
on how much it would be to have their structural engineer inspect the building and issuetheir findings. I should have
that by thecloseof business today." Ms. Lemieux stated she had not heard back from Vertex yet.
"As another follow-up to that discussion, I did a fullreview of that account and what isavailable for projects after
deductingannual maintenance expenses, security, fire, alarm inspections, and other annual contracted costsand
there isapproximately $50,000 for projects, unless there are some unforeseen emergencies.
The projectsthat were identified during theFY20 budget processand subsequent were:
• TownHallADA Ramp (Contingency Funds>$27K)
• TownHallFix Sidewalk to align with Ramp
===PAGE 4===
The initial listalso had thereconfiguration of the Ritter entryway, but dueto estimatesreceivedso far, this will need
to be submitted as acapital projectthis year. The Facilities Directorisworkingon obtaining estimates for the
above mentioned projects, but based on the projects listed above, we believethere would not be sufficient funds
to cover all of these projects and any repairsto the old Primary School."
Ms. Lemieux added we also have to address ADA compliance for the above listed tasks, which would
be a priority.
Mr. Alonzo stated he was in favor of putting money into the building but not if the structural engineer
tells us the roof needs major work. He wanted to make sure we have a completely sealed envelope that is
protected from the elements and that there won't be any further deterioration of the building by what we
do. Maybe it is a good idea to go on the roof to find out what is involved. DPW Director Rodriquenz
stated we do need to get in the attic to find out what is happening there. He added every window leaks
and broken windows have been covered. All the grout between the exterior bricks is cracked; that means
moisture is getting through. The school is still loaded with asbestos and now it is loaded with black
mold. He understood the sentimental feelings around the building but to put any more money into the
building is ludicrous. Mr. Jeffreys agreed with Mr. Rodriquenz and thought they needed to be realistic.
Mr. McQuaid agreed but thought the townspeople might need a third party's opinion. Ms. Adams
suggested putting a demolition article on town meeting warrant to gauge what the town sentiment is for
the building.
Mr. Alonzo suggested finding out how much the Vertex inspection of the roof would cost. Mr. McQuaid
noted if you put an article for demolition up then you have to come up with half a million dollars to tear
it down and plant grass etc. Ms. Lemieux stated a non-binding article could be placed on the warrant.
Mr. Jeffreys asked what more do we need to know that this building is not working for us anymore.
Why do we need to spend more money? Mr. McQuaid stated what he heard every time it went to Special
Town Meeting was we need more information. To go to town meeting for a non-binding vote and not
bring any new information is a waste of our time on town meeting floor.
Richard McGrath, APDC Chairman, 22 Cushing Lane, remarking on the condition of the building noted
there were two buildings in Fitchburg that were vacant as long as this one and perhaps longer, that were
in similar condition with the brickwork. They were sold to someone in the community with the
stipulation that they be restored. They were and are still there. One was sold to an artist and she used it
as a residence and art studio. The other is used for storage. The APDC has recommended we follow that
model and the building be put on the market with a minimal sale price and stipulation that it be restored
within a certain amount of time. Mr. Alonzo noted obviously it is predicated by if the town wants to sell
the property. So that plan won't work if the final decision is to not sell the property.
2. Request for Layout Hearing for Butterfly Lane-hearing date October 15th
Ms. Lemieux reported this is going before the Planning Board before it comes to the Selectmen. They
will give their recommendations and a public hearing process is required. It will have to be approved at
Town meeting and that is one of the discussion items for special town meeting; putting in a placeholder
for the article. Mr. Jeffreys asked DPW Director Rodriquenz if he had any insight into problems

2. Right of First Refusal for 250 Howard Street- Removal from Chapter 61B
Ms. Lemieux reported the notice was sufficient according to town counsel and all appropriate parties
have been notified. It was also forwarded to the Open Space Committee. The Town has 120 days to
exercise its right of first refusal. Question was asked if the land could be subdivided. Ms. Lemieux did
not have that information. The Board will wait for feedback from the other notified boards.

repaired.
OLD BUSINESS (Continued)
1. Town Manager Performance Evaluation Procedure
Mr. Alonzo presented in writing what had been discussed at a previous meeting. He read aloud the
eleven steps of the procedure:
1. Each member of the Selectboard completes the Selectboard-approved Town Manager Evaluation Form.
2. Each member can, at the individual member's discretion, obtain feedback by speaking with individuals who
work for and/or with the Town Manager to be used when completing the Organizational Leadership and
Personnel Management segment of the evaluation instrument.
===PAGE 8===
Manager.
5. Once all the individual Selectboard members have met with the Town Manager, the completed evaluation
forms will be submitted to the Chair of the Selectboard for the purpose of writing the composite evaluation.
6. At an open meeting of the Selectboard, at which the Town Manager's evaluation is on the agenda, the
completed composite Town Manager Evaluation Form will be distributed to the entire Selectboard, the
Town Manager and entered into the public record.
7. The period between the release of the composite Town Manager Evaluation Form into the public record and
the discussion of said evaluation by the Selectboard at a subsequent, open Selectboard meeting, the
Selectboard members may review, in a controlled environment, the other members' individual evaluation
forms for the purpose of ascertaining whether the composite evaluation fairly and adequately reflects the
viewpoints of all the individual evaluations.
8. At no time are the individual evaluations to be entered into the public record either by having it read, in total
or in part, into the record OR by direct reference at an open meeting of the Selectboard.
9. At a later open meeting of the Selectboard, at which the Town Manager's evaluation is again on the agenda,
the composite Town Manager Evaluation Form will be discussed, modified (if necessary) and its acceptance
voted upon by the entire Selectboard.
10. Once approved, the composite evaluation will be discussed with the Town Manager and the Selectboard
members at an open meeting.
11. The approved composite evaluation will be placed in the Town Manager's personnel file and be part of the
public record.
Ms. Adams expressed concern about items #7,#8, #9. She preferred not to read other Board member's
input and would rather just discuss her own evaluation. She did not believe each Board member could
look at each other's evaluations and know what they should or shouldn't be saying in public. If we all
see our own voice in the composite, then we know it's complete.
Mr. McQuaid agreed at the time that he did not feel the need to read anyone else's evaluation. If other
people are going to do it, then I certainly will as well so I have that information. While he did not agree
with that step on the process, he did not believe there was anything wrong with the way it is laid out.
Mr. Jeffreys understood what Ms. Adams was saying but believed it was somewhat of an exercise that
we have to demonstrate. Working with the board members, I see the value in having some insight into
how you perceive someone that that I also develop perceptions of. That will help me to understand to
work better with you. Discussion about how the process would work ensued, keeping statements general
and not referring to specific evaluations or statements.
===PAGE 9===
do Discuss about arties for 11/12/19 special 1 own Iviceling
Ms. Lemieux reported the following were placeholders so far for special town meeting:
• Budget adjustment article for the current fiscal year
• Approval of the collective bargaining agreement first year pay increases
• Purchase of 250 Howard Street property
• Acceptance of Butterfly Lane as a town road would be another article
• Additional liquor licenses for the town
The Board reviewed the information provided by town counsel regarding petitioning the legislature to
exceed the town quota for additional liquor licenses. Discussion ensued around whether to request for
one specific business or just for general application by anyone.
Suggestion was made to request two licenses, and one can be specifically for Lanni Orchards and the
other unnamed.
Motion: D. MeQuaid
2nd: P. Luck
To petition for two separate beer and wine off premise licenses; one for Lanni Orchards and the
other unnamed
Vote: All in Favor
• Potential purchase of the property located at 635 Mass Ave
This property is located in front of the public safety building and would allow a second egress from the
public safety building lot.
• Chapter 81 about annual town meetings and submission of warrant articles and the 42nd day
before the town meeting which is a Saturday (when Town Hall is closed).
Ms. Lemieux recommended the wording to state the 60 day based on the town meeting schedule. It
allows additional time for town counsel review, making recommendations and meeting printing and
mailing deadlines. Discussion ensued on the ramifications of how this would affect filing articles.
General consensus of the Board was 47 days and adjusting board meetings.
Motion: D. MeQuaid
2nd: P. Luck
To approve inclusion of the above listed articles presented by Town Manager for the special town
meeting warrant
Vote: All in Favor
Motion: K. Adams
2n: M. Jeffreys
To create a non-binding article for demolition of the old Primary School
Discussion: Mr. Jeffreys stated this is a good opportunity to get some input from residents. Mr.
McQuaid noted a non-binding vote from people who are not necessarily going to be the same people.
who might be there when you are trying to get a real vote is just a straw poll. Ms. Luck agreed with him
because she did not think they had enough information. Mr. Alonzo did not object to placing the article
on the warrant but did not know how much data we can get from that. He did state he would be speaking
to the Town Moderator to keep discussion to a minimum on this article.
Vote: 3 in favor, 2 against (Luck, McQuaid)
===PAGE 10===
Mr. Jeffreys noted after being on this Board for a few months he thought they were making a lot of
progress but he did not like 3-2 or 4-1 votes. But, he appreciated that they all expressed their opinions
and agreed to disagree at times and we keep moving forward
Mr. Alonzo appreciated the comment and thought it was good that we all try to work together and listen
to each other for all these things.

for a total of 139 licenses. In response to your questions, the data suggest that: (1) yes, the
legislature routinely increases the quota where there isn't a named licensee; and (2) though roughly
66% of the petitions granted were for a single, named package store, convenience/grocery store, or
restaurant, the legislature seems to have no problem granting multiple licenses in a single petition
for existing businesses or businesses yet to be named. The following breakdowns of the data are
instructive:

12 Convenience/Grocery Stores
4 Package Stores

Members not present: Tom Alonzo, Chairman; Phyllis Luck, Vice Chairman,
Others present: Heather Lemieux, Town Manager; Jack Rodriquenz, DP Director; Adam Burney, Land
Use Director
The meeting commenced at 7:00 p.m. with the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mr. McQuaid announced in accordance with the requirements of the Open Meeting Law, please be
advised that this meeting is being recorded and broadcast over the Lunenburg Public Access channel.
He reminded all per policy that speakers during public comment would be limited to 3 minutes per
speaker except at the discretion of the Chairperson.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Mr. Jeffreys reminded everyone that there are a lot of scams out there, many times coming through
email. Just be mindful that if you get something you don't recognize with a link, don't open it.
Ms. Adams stated her town outgoing emails haven't been sent as of August 20th
, and there was no
indication of that to her so for anybody who never got a response, she was not ignoring them. The issue
is being worked on now.
Rhonda Lisio, 181 Reservoir Road, noticed on the agenda that there are four candidates for three
positions on the TC Building Design Committee, and wanted to speak in opposition of one of the
candidates. She was in opposition due to her belief that he was unwilling to apply objective standards in
the decision-making process during his service as the School Building Committee chairman. She would
prefer candidates who identify needs versus wants on the TC Building Design Committee.
Ingrid Helmer, 141 Canterbury Drive, informed the Board of a Youth Pain Management forum
sponsored by ROAR at the Middle/High School auditorium on October 17% at 6:30 p.m.
APPOINTMENTS:
Kindness Rocks Presentation from LHS Community Service Club
Holly Smith, President of the LHS Community Service Club, and Mrs. Jennifer Miller, Advisor/Teacher
to the club presented on Kindess Rocks; a national project that they would like to join. The club will be
painting kind and inspirational messages on rocks and dispersing them throughout the community. The
mission of the project states one message at just the right moment can change someone's entire day,
outlook or life. Take a rock when you need one, share with a friend or leave one for someone. Smith and
Miller provided some painted rocks and read some of the messages painted on the rocks. Mrs. Miller
stated they are seeking donations of paint supplies and rocks. They can be dropped off at the school. She
noted within the next month you should see the rocks around town. The Board thought it was a great
idea.

would depend on the project and location. She thought this would be a good opportunity to see it this is
a good fit before running for election.

Mr. Jeffreys-aye, Ms. Adams- aye, Mr. McQuaid-aye, Mr. Allison- aye, Mr. Bittner- aye, Ms.

Joint Meeting with Lunenburg Housing Authority to mutually appoint to Housing Vacancy due to
Failure to Elect - Ron Dionne, 131 White Street
Linda McDonald, Vice Chair of the Housing Authority stated they had a quorum for their meeting and
called their meeting to order. Ron Dionne stated he lives in the Pearl Brook Apartments and has started
attending the Housing Authority meetings. He has experience in building maintenance. He also served in
Townsend on the Housing Authority for one year.
Mr. Jeffreys asked Ms. McDonald if there was a history of members of the Board also being subject to
the authority of the Board. Ms. McDonald stated no, but it is not against the law. She added the position
is until the next election and since he had a history with Townsend, she motioned to appoint him to the
Housing Authority. Ms. Adams seconded it.
Vote: Ms. McDonald- aye, Ms. Menard- aye- Ms. Christen- aye, Mr. Jeffreys -aye, Ms. Adams-
aye, Mr. McQuaid - aye
Special One Day Beer & Wine License: 3 Lancaster Ave. for October 17- Dragonfly Garden Café
LLC
Owner Joslin Schneider, 3 Lancaster Avenue, presented for the application. She had a request for a
special event for the Lunenburg Community Pollinator Habitat at the café. It is a two-three hour
timeframe with around 30 attendees. Mr. Jeffreys asked if town meeting passes the two additional liquor
licenses, would you be interested? Schneider stated it is something that she considered as there has been
a lot of interest in the other events over the summer. We are looking at the new year and seeing if this is
something that fits. Mr. Jeffreys asked if the license process was cumbersome for her. She stated yes,
she was not comfortable with public speaking and preferred cooking and baking.
Motion: K. Adams
2nd: M. Jeffreys
To approve the special one day beer and wine license for October 17" from 5-8 p.m.
Discussion: Mr. Jeffreys asked if the Board had to compel applicants to appear for the license
applications. Ms. Lemieux stated it's best if there are questions that need to be answered.
Vote: All in Favor
TC Building Design Committee Citizens at Large Interviews: (3 positions)
Ms. Lemieux informed the Board this was the first of two interviews for these positions, the other is on
October 8'' when votes will be taken. Present tonight were Mike Mackin, Deb Cristen and Dave Blatt.
Pete Lincoln had withdrawn his request to be appointed. Town Moderater Tim Murphy was also present
as he participates in the appointing to building project committees.
===PAGE 3===
used for schools. Mackin answered currently, no.
Ms. Adams asked, "What do think about the fact that the schools are currently using the building?" Mr.
Mackin stated there will be times that there is a need for expanded space, which is nice and why I think
it's useful to maintain the building as much as we can. He clarified he did not see a future use as a
school. Mr. Jeffreys stated there was no question Mackin was qualified, but had to hear from the other
applicants first.
Deb Christen, 100 Boucher Road, has lived in town all her life. She is currently on the Housing
Authority and has volunteered on various committees in town, including the Personnel Committee. She
and her children attended school at the TCP.
Mr. Murphy asked Ms. Christen if there are any particular uses for the TCP that you think are most
important for us to consider. She believed we should look at the needs of everything. There could be a
variety of things there. It could be a diverse community center. It still has a functional gym and
cafeteria. Murphy asked, "Do you think the schools need the building?" Ms. Christen stated she did not
understand why they were (still) there when they built a new school. Ms. Adams answered they needed
room for the extended day care program.
Mr. Jeffreys asked,
"Do you think town offices may have a future purpose in the building?" She stated
"It's level, so it would be handicapped accessible, so it's a possibility. But they would need more
parking spaces." The Board thanked her for coming in this evening.
David Blatt has lived here almost 25 years and has volunteered on other boards and currently is on the
Green Community Task Force and Zoning Board of Appeals. He brings a background in construction,
design and energy efficiency. He looks at the TCP as a community building and what it is going to be is
yet to be determined. It would be based on what it is going to look like and what the town needs are as
well as all the different community groups.
Mr. Murphy asked Blatt if there are any particular uses for the TCP that you think are important for us to
consider. Blatt stated he would like to see town offices under one roof making it easily accessible for all;
and then looking at other things we can do with the building.
Murphy asked "Do you see it being used by the schools?" Mr. Blatt would not want to see it as a
classroom facility because he did not like the idea of moving the kids around too much. But if the school
needs it for after school care, it is something to be considered.
Mr. McQuaid thanked all three for volunteering and stated the other interviews would be next week.
Ratification of Town Manager's Appointments
Ms. Lemieux stated tonight's notice of appointment is for three positions, a Council on Aging Senior
Van Driver, Recreation Director and Assistant Town Manager/HR Director.
The first is Helen Godin as the COA Senior Van Driver. She was recommended by the COA Director to
fill a vacancy in the MART Thursday/Friday driving schedule. Godin previously drove for MART and
came with glowing recommendations.

2nd: K. Adams

===PAGE 4===

4: M. Jelfreys
Vote: All in Favor
Mr. Lemieux stated the last appointment is for Asst. Town Manager/HR Director. There were 112
applications submitted for this position. It was narrowed down to six in-person interviews. Julie
Belliveau comes with glowing references and has 14 years of experience in Human Resources, with the
last six being in Westminster as their Personnel Administrator. She holds two Associates Degrees.
Ms. Lemieux introduced Ms. Belliveau to the meeting. Ms. Adams congratulated Belliveau on making it
to the final interview process and appointment. Mr. Jeffreys stated it was great this position finally exists
and Belliveau will fill a critical need for the town and take some of the weight off the Town Manager's
plate. He asked her if she had any concerns about the schedule. Ms. Belliveau stated no, she thought it
was a good a balance as she has two school-aged children.
Mr. Jeffreys asked what she thought would be her primary focus once she starts. She stated getting
acquainted with the department heads and finding out if they have any specific needs.
Motion: M. Jeffreys
2": K. Adams

portion of the project.

was signed off by the Assistant Clerk Magistrate yesterday. Attorney Counsel is going to provide a
service of the warrant to the current owner according to his last known address. As part of the next
steps, I will get an updated cost estimate from an environmental consultant and review possible
fundingsources.

===PAGE 7===
Selectmen hearing next week. Ms. Lemiuex stated all decisions of both Boaras would be
compiled on one spreadsheet.
OLD BUSINESS
submitted. Recently added articles concern the purchase of streetlights from Unitil:
To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate, borrow, or transfer from available funds, a
sum of money for the purpose of converting the Town's existing street streetlights to energy efficient and
long lasting LED fixtures; or take any other action relative thereto. (Submitted by the lown Manager)
She did not want to miss the opportunity for possible Green Community grant funding
opportunity in March.
Another is a non-binding article concerning the old Primary School:
To see if the Town will vote to provide guidance to the Board of Selectmen on a non-binding
resolution as follows: Do you support the demolition of the old Primary School located at 30 School
Street? (Submitted by the Board of Selectmen)
Ms. Lemieux noted the two articles petitioning the state for additional alcohol licenses are for
off-premises (package store) only. She had consulted with town counsel on questions asked about
the alcohol licenses at the last meeting. There would three options: the license could be
transferred to that specific location if Lanni Orchards sold the business. If they relinquished it, it
could remain an existing license for another business in town or it would go away. So that will
have to be part of the discussion before the article is finalized.
Mr. McQuaid reviewed the upcoming meeting schedule. October 8th is the next BOS meeting. A
workshop meeting on October 15' will address identifying, defining, discussing and finalizing the
criteria to be used in determining the use and/or re-use of the following buildings: Town Hall, Ritter
Building, Old Primary School, Brooks House, T.C. Passios building. Regular business will be on the
October 22 agenda. Special Town Meeting is Tuesday, November 12 at 7:00 p.m.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Dave Rodgers, 82 Highland Street, regarding the interviews for members for the TC Building
Design Committee, asked if this is a done deal as there is no funding, etc. Ms. Lemieux stated it
would be for putting out a Request for Proposals to hire an architectural engineering firm to
provide a detailed design and cost estimate for the TC Passios Building.
Mr. Rodgers in response to the public comment policy respectfully requested this three-minute
rule would also apply to the Board members.
Mr. Jeffreys noted during his tenure on the Board that there has not been a limit to anyone
speaking, but there have been public comment periods going over 45 minutes, and in order to get
business done they can't continue to allow this. It is important to hear from members of the
