Preamble No substantive change. The purpose of a Preamble is to explainTechnical edit: change “H” to “G” in the reason(s) why you have the law andreference to schedules. to state general introductory

Section 1 : Added a definition for “Probationary The SAP refers to ProbationaryDefinitions Employee” Employees in two sections so this

should be defined.

Section 2: No change.Position Titles

Section 3: No change. This is one oftwo provisions (alongNew or Changed with Section 4) that was reviewed byPositions Labor Counsel for conflict.

These provisions would benefit fromfurther clarification in the future; fornow, Counsel recommendsaddressing with a policy or procedures.

Section 7: Strikeout the word “merit,” as in Town doesn’t have a policy/program forAdjustment & “merit increases” and substitute “merit” increases.Compensation “salary” as in “salary” increasesPolicies everywhere it appears. Current salary increases may be viewed

more as “cost of living” adjustmentsthan merit increases.

Until merit program is addressed, moreappropriate to term adjustments as“salary” adjustments rather than “merit”based.

Use of the term “merit” in this contexthas led to confusion.

(a) distinguish between departments This section calls for Bo$ “approval” ofwithin the jurisdiction ofthe BoS and salary increases but this is notthose outside. appropriate for departments outside its

jurisdiction.

(b) Add the clause “absent exceptional The law currently reads that regular P-Tcircumstances as may be authorized employees are only eligible for salaryby the Personnel Board.” increases once a year. This adds

flexibility for extraordinarycircumstances.

(d) Adds a new subsection re: All provisions for probationaryProbationary Employees. employees currently appear in Section 9

“New Personnel.”

It was thought that the sectionspertaining to “Adjustments andCompensation” for probationaryemployees fit more properly in thissection with “Adjustments andCompensation” for other employees.

Much of the language comes from.

Section 9 although it has been edited forclarity.

Section 9: Title: strike “and Merit Increases” “Merit” is out. See Section 7, above.New PersonnelandMerit Increases

Title: add “Hiring” after “New This section deals with New PersonnelPersonnel.’” upon hiring, not compensation or other

Section 16: (b) Add a subsection recognizing The Personnel Bylaw recognizes that theDuties of the the Town Administrator as TA is the Personnel Director withPersonnel Board Personnel Director: personnel authority and responsibilities.

The Town Administrator serves as the Town Labor Counsel opined that theTown’s Personnel Director under the authority of Personnel Board andTown Administrator Bylaw [Ch. 27, Art. Personnel Director are not in conflict butIX]. As such the Personnel Director is . . . . ,

This general language is a placeholderpending that discussion.

Universal Change Strike: “and Personnel By-Laws” The SAP refers to the “Salaryfrom the phrase “Salary Administration Plan and Personnel By-Administration Plan and Personnel Laws” but the SAP is the Personnel By-By-Laws” Law.

It was thought that we should strike“Personnel By-Law” as redundant andpossibly confusing (since it might implythat there are two laws.)

Board of SelectmenSouthborough Town Hall17 Common StreetSouthborough, MA 01772

Dear Selectmen:

The Economic Development Committee currently has one vacant seat on the Committee.The Committee offered interviews to then-two applicants, one of whom subsequently withdrew.At its meeting on November 3 , 201 7, the Committee voted unanimously to recommend that theSelectmen appoint Suzanne Ducca to fill the vacant seat. Ms. Ducca is a Research Director forCBRE/New England and has long contributed to the EDC’s work by providing research and datato help the EDC reduce Southborough’s commercial vacancy rates. We believe her background,expertise and commitment will be a valuable addition to the Committee.

I should note that we received two additional applications from Barry Rubenstein andRobert Anderson for the EDC vacancy afier our November 3, 2017 meeting and vote. Mysuggestion (although not voted by the Committee at our last meeting) is that these applicationsbe held until another vacancy opens.

Thank you for your consideration, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you haveany questions.

Very truly yours,

Meeting Date: Tuesday, October 3, 2017, 6:30 pmLocation: McAuliffe Hearing Room, 17 Common Street, Southborough, MAPresent: Brian Shea, Bonnie Phaneuf, Lisa Braccio, Town Administrator, Mark PurpleAbsent: Dan Kolenda

Mr. Shea, as acting Chairman, called the meeting to order at 6:30pm. Mr. Shea wanted torecognize Fire Lieutenant Neal Aspesi for his assistance with hurricane relief in San JuanPuerto Rico. Mr. Aspesi was deployed for 19 days while serving as a Logistics Team Manageron the Massachusetts Task Force 1 Urban Search and Rescue Team. Lt. Aspesi waspresented with a proclamation, thanking him for his service on behalf of the Board ofSelectmen and Southborough residents.

II. Scheduled Appointments (Board may vote)1. Continued Discussion of Notice of Intent to Sell for 135 Deerfoot Road parcel

Finance Director Brian Ballantine presented Community Preservation Commission(“CPC”) funds and land acquisition financial options. CPC funding available forappropriation until 6/30/18 is $255,703. If land acquisition is sought, Mr. Ballantinerecommends doing so with CPC funding, not general funds.

CPC Chair Frederica Gillespie (present) summarized CPC meeting on 9/23/17 to supportcontinued investigation of land purchase. On 9/26/17, CPC determined there would beadequate funds in CPA account to cover the bond, and voted to approve $8,000 in CPCfunds for the Board of Selectmen to hire a consultant. The funds must be used within100 days of 10/3/17. Discussion was held regarding the possibility of entering into alegally binding agreement limiting developer to maximum 5 house limit (excludingexisting house) in exchange for the Town not purchasing land.

Deerfoot Road residents (present) are in favor of the land being sold to and developedby Brendan Homes, and would welcome the small development. Historical SocietyChair and Recreation/SHOPC Chair spoke on behalf of their boards being in support ofgoing to Town meeting allowing vote to purchase.

Mr. Shea noted that initial notice of intent to purchase (as required when Chapter landis being sold) was received in late August, and the Board has only 120 days to respond.He feels they have very limited time to do a land study and call a special town meetingand is not in favor of a special meeting. Ms. Phaneuf said she doesn’t feel there is timeto do properly research, fund, etc. and would not be in support of purchase right now.Lisa Braccio would be in support of checking with Town Counsel to see if a 6-lot limit(including existing house) can be put in an agreement in exchange for non-purchase ofland.

Attorney Wayne Leblanc, representing the Dowds, reminded that the Purchase and Saleis a condition between the land owner and Brandan Homes; it is not a condition oftransaction, and would not be part of the deed. Also, there is a contingency that if the

Selectmen’s Minutes 10-03-17 DRAFT Page 1

developer cannot get approval for six lots, they are not required to purchase theproperty.

Ms. Gillespie noted that once the property is sold, the property owner has full discretionto develop that land to the full extent of the zoning code and 40B regulations.

The discussion has been continued to the Board’s October 17 meeting.

Ms. Phaneuf motioned to accept $8,000 CPC funds to hire a land consultant, to be spentwithin 100 days; Ms. Braccio seconded and motion passed, 3-0.

A subsequent vacancy became available in July 2017 and he reapplied.Mr. Robbins summarized his background as a longtime resident that returned toSouthborough in May 2016; he is a Real Estate Attorney specializing in commercialconversions. He was a member of the Grafton ZBA for four years before moving back toSouthborough. The Board asked if he has any potential conflicts with current ZBAdevelopments — he does not. If a conflict does arise, he would recuse himself. He neverhad to do so in Grafton.

The Board had a discussion about the position being advertised, and if other candidatesfrom last year’s interviews were contacted. Mr. Purple noted the only other possiblecandidate would be Mr. Green, who was emailed and was not interested in the position.

Ms. Braccio was contacted by some residents with concerns about lack of advertisementfor the position. After some discussion, the Board agreed to advertise the position toallow additional volunteer forms, and make a decision at their next meeting of October17th

4. Roger Challen, RE: New Technology Committee BylawMr. Challen, along with previous Municipal Technology Committee Chair ClaireReynolds, recommended the Board reconsider their intention to extend the existingMTC appointments until 10/17/17, as two additional weeks will not be helpful.

A discussion was held relative to managing the property and/or selling if purchased by theTown. Ms. Phaneuf asked if a warrant article could mandate that additional town meetingvote would be required to develop, modify or sell the property. Town Counsel Ciprianoconfirmed that it could be done.

Since the discussion at the last meeting, several answers have been provided by TownCounsel:

. Cannot place conditions on right of first refusal. The right is simply for themunicipality to exercise interest in purchase, and must substantially conform tothe offer already being made.

. Limits on selling due to bonding.

. Maintenance and insurance cannot come from CPA funds.
