Capital Expenditures Committee
Co-chairmen Veterans Director James H. Campbell, Sr. and Fire Chief Charles D. Foley, Jr. showed Capital Article 29 expenditures to date. Mr. Burgess asked for a set of the rink plans. Chief Foley said they would find out about the plans. The GIS system should come out of remaining TEC funds. Fire alarm systems are up and running in Lyons and Donovan per Chief. High School boiler money is to study the system and look for a practical and efficient system. Mr. Moore and Mr. Caliri pared down and prioritized their lists. Mr. Fernandes asked about the Police cruiser. Mr. Campbell said that these are usually in the police budget but there is a need for a replacement cruiser. Chief Porter has indicated that he consistently remains behind by one vehicle. This is a high priority this year. Mr. Fernandes asked about the DPW vehicles. These are replacements, not additional vehicles. Mr. Burgess said the language is "to be traded or sold, or otherwise disposed of…". Chief Foley
said to make it clear at Town Meeting. Town Counsel said that disposition of the vehicle must be specified. Mr. Fernandes said the Committee had to be specific at Town Meeting. For the GIS system, a portion would come out of current. Not sure how much. Mr. Fernandes asked the impact on the borrowing costs - $100,000 per million. Only $3M of the $4.1M from 3 ½ years ago has been borrowed. Mr. Fernandes said that there are costs involved and there could be another $300,000 in debt service for FY09. We could put together a revolving program for regular upkeep. Chief Foley said in FY08 the roofs should be retired for a while, then onto boilers.

Public Comment
Joe Burke of Precinct 8 said that Community Preservation funds could not be used for recreation items. Mr. Burgess said the Community Preservation Committee may fund the school track in March through bonding. CPA bonding is outside of town bonding-not part of debt service. It does not increase the CPA tax. Mr. Alexopoulos asked Town Counsel if we funded it that way, bond it for 20 years, and state funding dries up, do we have to raise & appropriate to pay for it. Town Counsel said the debt instruments would be general obligation bonds. Debt holders do not get defaulted on or shortchanged. Mr. Burke said if the project is started, you must finish it and pay the debt.
Judy Gangel - Annual town clean up by the recycling committee to be held Saturday, April 14th. Looking for volunteers.
Library hours - she attended the Mass. Library Board meeting - She said she had encouraged the Board to contact our reps a while ago.
School - She proposed and sought the support of the Board to hold a march on March 21st to support the override. This is an early release day but a faculty meeting. She asked for March 18th. The length is about one mile north and south of Memorial Parkway. She asked the Board to commit to the march. Mr. Burgess said that parade requests go to Chief and Safety Officer for recommendation. Ms. Gangel said she left a message for the Chief. She suggested 1:00 p.m. Ms. Gangel asked each member to commit to participating in the parade. Members will check schedules. Mr. Burgess moved to allow if Chief and Safety Officer approve. Voted, 4-0.
Myriam Azer presented letter that she sent regarding full day kindergarten grant. She said the grant is a chance to improve services. They have not won it yet. They wanted the public to know. Mr. Burgess moved to send a letter of support for the grant. He said it will not affect the budget. Mr. Wells said full day kindergarten is the way to start them early. Mr. Alexopoulos said if we can offer this it keeps them in the school system. Voted, 4-0. Mr. Fernandes said there is a letter from Cong. Lynch later. He felt we should approach him also for a town planner and the full-day kindergarten (belt and suspenders approach).
Mr. Fernandes moved to send a letter to Congressman Lynch requesting a planner and full day kindergarten. Seconded by JB. Voted, 4-0. Also send to our reps and senator.
Gene Avrus said there would be a fund-raiser on Wednesday, from 7 pm-10 pm at Lombardo's for $20.00 per person.
25) Letter from SEIU 888 naming new negotiators.
26) Letter to Personnel Board from Dorothy LaPaglia.
27) Letters from the Sharon and Hull public libraries denying access to Randolph residents.
28) Letter from DHCD - Planning assistance for housing production.
29) Letter from Building Dept. re: - temporary Plumbing & Gas Insp.
30) Letter from Harold Fitzgerald requesting that the Board take the time to inform the citizens why they voted and where they stood on the issues. Mr. Fernandes said he made his point very clear - it is critical that we pass the override. Services have depleted. Concerned about levels of education. Non-education is also suffering. Without it there would be cuts. Joe Burke said this is against override rules to discuss in a public building. Mr. Fernandes did not feel this was against the law and he recommended this. Mr. Alexopoulos said he voted in support of the override. He was supporting it. The level of service is deteriorating. Stop the bleeding. Save education. We need to keep kids in the schools. The town is not the same as it
was 5-10 years ago. This will be a good start. Mr. Burgess believed that we needed to do things differently, better, more efficiently. He voted to support the override question. He was disappointed in the arbitrary cut of $600,000 from the schools. That was how it was left on 2/5, and on 2/8 that changed. He supported an increase in school funding. He supported full day kindergarten last override. He would like to streamline school and town accounting functions. There are less police now. We see what is happening, we need more patrols. We need up-to-par fire services and equipment. When 4,000 people sign a petition to increase your library and the average voter turnout is 3,000, they need to vote for it. It should be a menu. He will support it all the way. The Board needs to balance the budget just in case it doesn't pass. Mr. Wells said the other members said it well.
31) We have no choice. If we want to save our town, we need to keep it a
community. He thought about a menu or a single question, he felt that it needed to be voted as a community. Mr. Wells said he wanted to keep it as close to $4M as possible. We have to sell it to the voters. He felt that this amount was more palatable. Our children and grandchildren need to stay here and raise their families. All departments have to pass it. Mr. Wells said he will be on TV to push it. All members are for it. Town Counsel said the Board should formally adopt the election warrant on March 27th and put 2 questions: override and a change in the office of Treasurer/Collector from elected to appointed. Mr. Alexopoulos moved to accept as written. Seconded by Mr. Fernandes. Voted, 4-0. Get original from Clerk for signature.
32) Letter from Alcohol Intervention Methods advising that Tomato & Cheese has been certified.
33) Letter from Building Commissioner re: 7 Young Terrace will be reinspected on March 1st.

37) St. Bernadette's request for a one day beer & wine license on March 17th. Mr. Alexopoulos moved to approve. Voted, 4-0.
Executive Secretary report
Underground utilities - has had much contact with the 3 utilities. All have expressed great reluctance to submit plans without first receiving town's plans showing the underground infrastructure. Letter from National Grid explained their position. DPW Engineer Steve Levreault was contacted. Beta Engineering would charge $74,000 plus $10,000. He has contacted other towns to see what they did. Some had it on disc. Here, it is all paper in various forms. The utilities are not doing anything until they have to. We can pursue legally, or prepare the plans at a cost of $84,000. Mr. Alexopoulos said in the letter the drawings should show the underground. We own Water and Sewer only. If the utilities have the drawings, these could be overlaid to see all. Same with
gas and telephone. Mr. Carroll said Verizon is above ground. Mr. Burgess said we were told 1) that the town had to prepare the underground utility plan by Beta. PWED grant application was obtained along with CPA. We were told if they did not act by deadline we could file suit. Comcast wants to go down the middle of the road. Mass. Electric doesn't have any underground utilities. In August, 2006, a clerk of the works was to figure this out. We don't have to dig up the majority of No. Main Street for this project. It's not going down Diauto Drive. This would be from Randolph Package to [the former] Brodil's. Short Street to North will be done. Electric can come from back of buildings. There are abilities to do this without digging up the street. Sewer line runs behind the Civita building. He wants to work with the utilities. We got a plan from Verizon about Memorial Parkway. Mr.
Burgess said he would go back to August - coordinate with a streetscape crew. We entered into an agreement with Cecil Group. If we had entered an agreement with a clerk of the works, he could do all this. Utilities would pay. Mr. Carroll said there is there is no money to pay for a clerk of the works. Subject to a reimbursement…if there is no money, we can't contract with anyone. Mr. Burgess said we could enter an agreement binding on both sides - doesn't get paid until utilities start collecting. This was back in August. The town would not have resources to pay, only the utilities. Check 30B for details. Town Counsel said this could be done. In this context, you have a memorandum of understanding between the town and the utilities to identify that a clerk will be hired for all of the utilities and indicate how it will be paid. After it is in place, look for a contractor. The 2% is not
mandated. We cannot charge them for spending 2% of their gross revenues on this project. They can pass on charges to customers. They present a plan for how they will comply with the bylaw by March 15th. Mr. Alexopoulos asked how National Grid could send a letter like that. Town Counsel said it was posturing in part. As one utility, why should they do all this work? Town Counsel said the Memorandum of Understanding would be hammered out. They will ask for the town to pick up some of the cost. Mr. Burgess said this was started in 2005. We need to get this done. Town Counsel said the town is not legally required to provide the plans. Mr. Burgess said the utilities are required to comply by March 15th. They state that all parties need to come to an agreement, as quoted in the National Grid letter. Town Counsel said to have an agreement in writing. Town Counsel suggested a meeting with utilities
and their counsel. We are at a point where their obligations are coming real. Town Counsel recommended he do this. Mr. Burgess said we were not spending any money on this. Beta has this. Town Counsel said the negotiations involve asking what the town is going to contribute. Mr. Burgess said we may not have to do this if we are providing from the back of the buildings. Town Counsel said an agreement needed to be in place first. Mr. Alexopoulos asked what type of agreements other towns pay. Canton paid 25%, they had fire alarms above ground. Town Counsel said the town cannot say they are paying nothing and doing nothing. PWED money can be made available. Mr. Alexopoulos asked if the North Randolph Business District would be going underground. Plan was reviewed. Not all will be done at the same time.
Mr. Wells we have to be able to give something at this meeting. Mr. Burgess asked if we were directing town counsel to sit with them. Mr. Wells said we would be obligated in some form. Harold Fitzgerald said the letter is normal. Many town's have good plans on file. Sit down with them and tell them we don't have money or good plans and ask them what we can do. Town Counsel said the town should have existing condition plans. It is to our advantage to have these for the town. Mr. Fernandes moved for Town Counsel to sit with all parties. Seconded by Mr. Burgess who asked to be included in the sit down. Town Counsel said whoever manages the town's wires - Fire, DPW should be there, Mr. Carroll, and someone who can speak for the Board. Mr. Carroll will get date, send letter, and
meet with utilities and attorneys. MPIC, DPW, Fire, and Mr. Carroll. Voted, 4-0.
Discussion concerning review of the articles and setting the warrant. This should be done separately. Mr. Wells said there were only a few things left to do. Date to review will be decided.
Mr. Carroll reported that the Worker's Comp account is critical. The Town has been self-insured since 1994. We do not pay a premium. We pay a company to administer claims, and purchase stop loss insurance for catastrophic. Over the years, $2M has been saved. This year, we are deeply in the red. In past years, we had a surplus. There is a minor amount to pay employees but not to providers. This does not include any of Ray's medical. Projecting costs of $145,000 to end of year, plus Ray's expenses. This could fluctuate based on claims. Ch. 77 transfers could be adequate to pay the Blue Hills assessment, the street lights, and the unpaid bills. It was not anticipated that we would run out. The law requires we pay the comp. The short term solution is to seek a
Reserve Fund Transfer for a partial amount until we run out and later use Ch. 77. For Ray's, he is going to seek a special request to take from Stabilization for this claim only. We have filed a lien against the trucking company. He asked for authorization to request $25,000. Mr. Burgess moved to authorize the reserve fund transfer request. Seconded by Mr. Fernandes. Voted, 4-0.
Mr. Carroll has the info for Congressman Lynch and our State Representatives. Mr. Burgess said to reiterate those things stated that we need. Get a copy of letter. Mr. Burgess said to ask for Library aid from Federal govt. Let him know about our problems. Is there a grant outside of the appropriation process? Mr. Carroll said he has spoken with Jim Gordon several times in the last several months and he was not encouraging. Mr. Alexopoulos said the Human Relations Committee is looking for more basketball courts at schools and other locations. He will draft letter and circulate.
Letter from the Board of Health requesting the Board accept a grant for Medical Reserve Corps. $9,166. Mr. Alexopoulos moved to accept. Seconded by Mr. Fernandes. Voted, 4-0.
Signing of grant - Mr. Alexopoulos moved to authorize Mr. Wells to sign and accept the $100,000 for the Zapustas Arena. Mr. Burgess seconded adding "and the expenditure of same". Voted, 4-0.
The DPW is seeking a loan for Water Pollution Abatement Trust. Town Meeting authorized this. No place for Selectmen to sign. "Authorized officer" is Chairman Wells. Mr. Burgess moved to seek the loan. Seconded by Mr. Fernandes. Voted, 4-0.
Mr. Fernandes said he thought that Ms. Goggin would be here. Contact her to be on the next agenda at 7 p.m.
Mr. Burgess said there was a letter from IUOE about borrowing of sick leave. Anything set up? Mr. Carroll met with them and it was discussed. A member was present. Waiting for the union rep from Norwood to submit a proposal. Mr. Burgess said these are contractual items, but Personnel has voted this twice. Mr. Carroll said a memo went to Personnel telling them not to do this. He is waiting for the union rep's letter.
Mr. Burgess asked if articles were submitted by DTW. Affirmative.
Have we received any Personnel Board minutes - January 31st letter. Negative.
Mr. Burgess said there was a Police union issue and asked if any letters were sent to them. The matter was denied on 2/8/07.
Mr. Burgess asked why we are now in the Three Rivers Region. Mr. Carroll said that prior to joining Randolph; he was a member of SWAP. It is to get regions in close proximity together. We are all a part of the Boston central office. Randolph was initially in Inner Core, when they drew the radii, Randolph was dumped in. The meetings of sub-regions are opportunities to meet with planners in other towns and discuss ideas. Mr. Carroll said he is receiving notices from both. We are getting notices from all. Mr. Burgess moved to request that we belong to Inner Core and Three Rivers. Voted, 4-0. We should request this officially. He wants to make sure we are privy to other developments.
Mr. Burgess said to set up a date now for the request of the MBTA for later train hours.
Mr. Burgess referred to the paving of Pond and S. Lillian Street. Mr. Carroll said the Building Commissioner advised that the owner hired an attorney and they are going through to ZBA. Get a copy of the filing. Mr. Alexopoulos said that Mr. Carroll would be overwhelmed with all of this extra work.
Mr. Wells said that Chief Wells had requested signing the Metro Fire Mutual Aid District Agreement. Members have seen the agreement. Mr. Wells expressed concern about the cost. Chief Foley told him it is $2,500 per year. Mr. Wells said Chief Foley said he has it in his budget this year. We may not have the money next year if the override does not pass. Mr. Fernandes asked if this is a larger area of mutual aid. Mr. Wells said it goes all around and up to North Shore. We are in the Norfolk County mutual aid system now. Chief Foley said the bylaws require that the initiation fee is $10,000 (3 yrs.) They have reviewed and agreed to $2,500 for first year. They bring SWAT teams, etc., and they have tremendous resources. We may not get this chance again. The communities along
128 are members or are joining. Since 9/11, they are asking Chiefs to become part of this urban organization. They apply for grants for equipment and training. To be part of a metropolitan district opens up opportunities that we cannot get in Norfolk County. This does not mean that they will be at 6 alarm fires every day. He can find the money in his budget. He asked the Board to support. He will not be coming back for a Reserve Fund Transfer. He will budget for next year. Mr. Burgess asked if he had been to the FinCom this year for a reserve fund transfer. Negative and it is not anticipated. Mr. Alexopoulos said the benefit outweighs the cost. Mr. Burgess asked if we get physical equipment. Chief Foley said one community received radios that became part of the department. Chief Foley said Norfolk County does not have the resources. Mr. Fernandes asked Mr. Wells why he tried to get in (when he
was Fire Chief). Mr. Wells said we were losing personnel and making cuts. It would gain resources. Chief Foley said Bob Doherty is the coordinator. Mr. Wells said he had reservations about doing this right now. Mr. Fernandes shared his concern but said that Chief Foley said he could find it in his budget. Mr. Fernandes said this is backup for resources. Mr. Wells when we send someone on mutual aid, we have to hire. If we add 15 communities, there's a chance of going to Weymouth or Quincy or them coming here. Is it figured in budget, no. Chief Foley said there was a 2 alarm last week, Weymouth and Quincy came here due to problems. Chief Foley said without it we will not be able to gain the financial resources. Mr. Burgess said this is a 20 year agreement that supersedes others. (Norfolk County was just signed). The law allows this. Mr. Burgess said the obligation is $2,500.00. Chief Foley
said if we become a member, it will have all signatures of all towns in the district. The Board agrees to the interim. Mr. Wells asked to table for full board on March 12th. Chief Foley asked the Board to give specific questions to Mr. Carroll. Chief Foley said the Chairman of the FinCom did not see it as a new cost as long as it comes from the budget. Mr. Burgess said he heard Mr. Wells's concern about a message. He does not think we are sending that message. There is nothing in the contract that concerns him. We have the opportunity for resources. Mr. Burgess said he had to find the money without a RFT. There could be layoffs. He does not feel that it is irresponsible. Seconded
by Mr. Fernandes. Motion died 2-2 (Alex, Burgess). Mr. Fernandes moved to approve. Seconded by Mr. Alexopoulos. Voted, 3-1 (Wells). Chief Foley said that some MBTA communities receive more training because they are on a rail line.
Mr. Alexopoulos moved to adjourn. Voted, 4-0.
Meeting adjourned at 11:50 p.m.
