Opening:, A meeting of the Canton Finance Committee was called to order at 7:00 p.m. on Monday,
March 30, 2015 in the Salah Meeting Room of Town Hall.

A.       Approval of Agenda
Chairman Porter reviewed the items on the agenda.

B.       Announcements

There were no announcements.

C.       New Business

The purpose of the Board of Selectmen attending the Finance Committee meeting was to hear about their
positions on the Special Town Meeting Articles, the Annual Town Meeting Articles and the FY16
Operating Budget.

Chairman Porter opened up the meeting by stating that a number of questions regarding the Special
Town Meeting Articles from the Finance Committee and responses by BOS Chairman Del Vecchio had
been conveyed to the Committee members via email (see meeting handout). Chairman Porter introduced
BOS Chairman Del Vecchio. Mr. Del Vecchio introduced Mr. Salvatori, Attorney Ross, Attorney Mann
and Bernie Plante of Canton Holdings. The meeting was opened up to a discussion of items regarding
the Special Town Meeting articles:

Letter of Credit

Ms. Saint Andre commended the various parties responsible for negotiating this deal. She also asked
questions about the Letter of Credit and requested that the questions and answers be attached as part of
the minutes (see email dated 3/27/15 from Victor Del Vecchio to Mark Porter, meeting handout). The
Letter of Credit is intended to provide security for completion by the developer of those aspects that will
provide a public benefit (Developer Work Obligations or DWO). The Letter of Credit is also meant to
ensure that until the DWO are completed, the Town would have protection against a possible revenue
shortfall from the site to pay any debt service incurred for acquisition of property from the developer,

Revenue Stream

Ms. Gustafson expressed concern about the real estate market and that if the market were to take a
downturn and how this might affect the revenue stream of taxes collected. Mr. Murgia stated that the
FINCOM Minutes 3-30-2015                     Page 1 of 9                                   04/26/2015

Development Agreement addresses tax revenues collected instead of assessed valuations. If the market
were to decrease remarkably, the Town could increase the tax rate in order to collect the taxes.

Remediation of Property

Ms. Gustafson expressed concern about the public's knowledge about the brownfield and if individuals
would be interested in purchasing or would marketability be affected by the brownfield. Mr. Plante stated
that he did not believe the brownfield would be a concern and that matters of environmental protection
would be addressed in the Master Deed and condominium documents along with a planting restriction
within the soil as opposed to raised beds.

Mr. Del Vecchio stated that GZA looked at and had discussions with GEO Insight. Mr. Del Vecchio has a
two-page summary report as well as a detailed report that he would share with the Committee. Chairman
Porter inquired if this would be available on the website, which Mr. Del Vecchio stated the risk
assessment was in the form of questions and answers and that issues were still being identified. Mr.
Salvatori stated the site would be "cleaned to a permanent solution without any conditions". Most of
remediation will be dry land. Mr. Salvatori stated that extensive sampling has been done in the
waterways and ponds and there is a plan in place for one of the ponds to do monitoring through modern
attenuation. DEP does not favor remediation done on these water areas and favors leaving them
undisturbed. Mr. Del Vecchio stated that the Town will not accept the waterways until adequately
attenuated.

Day Care Center, Proposed Bridge at Norfolk Street Connecting Revere Street and Neponset
Street Ms. Saint Andre inquired about the inclusion of the Day Care Center on Neponset Street. Mr.
       -


Del Vecchio stated that the Day Care Center was included for purposes of the cap on commercial
properties for calculation for the revenues in the DIE Ms. Saint Andre expressed that there is a real
concern with the impact the Day Care Center could have on traffic on Neponset Street as well as the new
street connecting Revere Street and Neponset Street with the construction of a bridge over the river
impacting traffic on Neponset Street as well.

Mr. Plante stated that a Traffic Study has been distributed to the Planning Board and others but did not
review it yet to see if the Study specifically addressed traffic entering and exiting the Day Care Center.
He also stated that during the Special Permit planning process with the Planning Board a special traffic
study would be looked at specifically for that use. In response to Ms. Saint Andre's inquiry as to whether
the neighborhood residents would be allowed an opportunity to have a hearing on this traffic situation, Mr.
Plante stated that while it was in the Exhibit H list of Schedule of Allocated Values/Costs under 5.1.12 of
Neponset/Norfolk Improvements, if via the traffic engineer's study in consultation with the Planning Board,
neighbors and the Department of Public Works that it is determined that the intersection is not heavy
enough to require a traffic signal then the $525,000 would be saved and not spent. Attorney Mann stated
that they would be before the Planning Board and ZBA with a Special Permit during this phase of
approval process and that the Day Care Center would require a Special Permit as well.

Condominium Contracts With regard to Ms. Leach's inquiry regarding the condominiums being under
                           —


one Master Agreement, Attorney Mann stated that there will be one or more condominium contracts,
however, the commercial would be separate from the residential. There will be an umbrella Master Deed
as well as a recorded Covenant that will cover age restrictions etc. that will apply to the units. Mr. Plante
stated that they would manage the development until such time that it is turned over to the management
company.

Chairman Porter inquired as to how owners, occupants and or renters would be notified of the growing
restrictions Attorney Ross stated that owners and renters would be notified of rental restrictions in
various places such as deeds, umbrella Master Deed and leases and that owners and renters would be
given explicit notice as to the restrictions in the lease.

Protections in Place with regard to Conveyance of Properties to Town Attorney Mann explained
                                                                              —



the different triggers in place with regard to conveyance (see meeting handout — email from Mr. Del
Vecchio to Chairman Porter dated 3/26/15). He further stated that there are two financial triggers: Pre-
100% completion funding trigger and post-100% completion funding trigger.


FINCOM Minutes 3-30-2015                      Page 2 of 9                                    04/26/2015
Printed on 5/11/15

Attorney Mann further explained that before there is 100% completion of the Developer Work Obligations
(DWO) i.e. public benefits outlined in Section 5.1 of the Development Agreement, there is a test, or a 30%
test or 70% test whereby there can or will be an obligation for the Town to fund certain completed public
benefit items so long as the 30% of the net revenue formula is financed for one year's debt service equal
to that 30%. He further explained that the second phase when everything including the project is
completed and there is a test at that point that there is enough revenue that equals the principal and
interest required to fund the debt service on what is going to be needed to pay the final debt. Once the
one to one test has been met (Developer Work Obligations and project has been completed and
inspection has been done relative to the assets) final transfer will be done.

Chairman Porter inquired that if the second test fails, because net revenues are not sufficient enough to
cover the debt service, what happens then? Attorney Mann responded that there would not be any
obligation at that point to purchase the assets. Chairman Porter clarified that if revenues were not
sufficient the Town would not be required to complete some sub-set of the purchase. There is a clause
that allows an item that is a public benefit (such as a water main) to be used even before a conveyance
occurs. If the Developer Work Obligations for the public benefit items are not complete, there is not
necessarily an obligation of the Developer to plug the shortfall for any outstanding indebtedness that the
Town has incurred, the Town can go to security. The Town's "protection" is that they would not be
required to make the purchase.

Per the Finance Director, if the revenues are not there to pay for it, the Town simply would not borrow for
it.

FEMA Flood Zone Maps Ms. Leach inquired if the property was located on any flood zone area. Mr.
                           —


Planted indicated that there is a small section that is in the flood zone area X, along the Diversion
Channel. All improvements, including the garage levels will be above the flood plain.

Chairman Porter stated that the Plymouth Redevelopment Project had the unanimous approval of the
Board of Selectmen and Planning Board. Mr. Del Vecchio stated that after two appearances before the
School Committee, the School Committee supported the project 5-0 and that they were in support of the
estimates of how the school enrollment could be affected, the use of the Rolling Mill and the $2 million
capital infusion to the School capital plan.

Chairman Porter thanked the guests for the information provided to him and the Finance Committee
ahead of time. Mr. Del Vecchio spoke in support of this blighted area being perfect for the use of a DIF
and that the DIF is a better version of a TIF, in that the improvements to the District are funded through
the use of the taxes specifically generated by the District/project. Currently, the annual taxes collected
from this property are $43,600 as compared to the $1.2 million projected in tax revenues based on the
Developer's assumptions.

STM Article 7 — Disposition of Land     —   Chairman Porter asked for clarification on the disposition of land
under Article 7. Mr. Salvatori explained that the waterway cutting through the Plymouth Property site is
technically not a river but a diversion channel. When the Army Corps of Engineers in the 1960s did a
reconstruction of the area, there were certain pieces of land along the waterway that the Town had
deeded to the Army Corps of Engineers as a matter of protocol for them to perform their work without
having to come back to the Town of approvals. The Army Corps of Engineers would take title to the
properties, perform its work, and then deed them back to the municipality. The Developer was unable to
find in their title search any reference to the deeding that was recorded. This would allow flexibility for the
Town during the process.

Let the record reflect that Nichola Gallagher arrived at the meeting at approximately 7:45 p.m.

STM Article 6 — Recommendations of the Community Preservation Committee Ms. Gustafson   -



inquired if the BOS had taken a formal position on the CCPC's recommendation of purchasing a portion
of the site with CPA funds. Mr. Del Vecchio stated that the BOS unanimously supported the
recommendation of the CPA to purchase the 5.2 acre parcel of land. Attorney Schneiders, who joined the
meeting, also stated the CPA voted unanimously 10-0 to support the land acquisition.

The discussion on the Plymouth Redevelopment project ended at approximately 7:50 p.m.

Discussion of Town Meeting Articles      —   Mr. Friel joined Mr. Del Vecchio in the discussion of the Annual
Town Meeting Articles as follows:

Article 5 — Collective Bargaining Agreements under the Board of Selectmen - $205,755
Article 6 — Personal Service Contracts under the Board of Selectmen - $102,980

Mr. Murgia provided a spreadsheet (see meeting handout) that breaks down the estimated contract costs.
These amounts will be allocated into the #910 budget, and if approved at Town Meeting, will be allocated
back to the individual departments after the start of fiscal 2016. These amounts are not in the FY16
operating budget amounts. Mr. Murgia noted that under Article 6 there is $31,021 being carried for the
increase in hours from 24 to 40 for the Conservation Agent. The BOS requested that the $31,021 be
included in Article 6 instead of in the Conservation Commission budget. Mr. Friel indicated that the BOS
decided to "hold" on this request pending information with regard to the added duties for the Conservation
Agent. The BOS will be taking a second look at this request based on additional information recently
received.

Mr. Friel stated that they have been in active negotiations with all groups with the exception of the Police
Department who preferred to wait for the results of the PEC negotiation results, which Mr. Friel indicated
had been recently successfully completed.

The $18.1 million budget endorsed by the BOS includes the amounts in Articles 5 and 6. The COLA for
the first year will be dictated by this cap as negotiations are in process. Chairman Porter asked that
Articles 5 and 6 be tabled for now so that other items could be discussed.

The motions for Articles 5 and 6 will include language referring to total dollar amounts. Ms. Gustafson
inquired if there would be language in the motion that might assure that all of these funds would not go to
just one or two bargaining units within the first year of the 3-year contract if the others do not settle. Mr.
Friel stated that that would be governed by how the negotiations proceed and the BOS final approval of
the settlements.

At approximately 8:15 p.m. Lisa Lopez and Jeremy Comeau, both of the Canton Community Preservation
Committee joined the Finance Committee meeting.

Canton Community Preservation Committee Ms. Lopez thanked the Finance Committee for allowing
                                                   —


her to present newly acquired information regarding the land purchase at the Plymouth Rubber site.
Lopez reported to the Committee that the CCPC voted unanimously to approve funds to purchase 6.84
acres adjacent to 2.0 acres being donated by the Developer at the Plymouth Redevelopment site
including the Revere Barn and Rolling Mill. The appraisal from long-time appraiser Rick Pino used by the
Town, came in at $1.74 million.

The CCPC agreed that the purchase price would be paid for by a 10-year bond. By paying down this
bond based on a schedule of principal and interest payments, the CCPC would have funds available for
other CCPC projects. The CCPC will be asking for input from the community as to the uses of the land
for the community. A permanent conservation restriction for this land must also be approved by the state
(e.g. 15-page covenant). It is the CCPC's intent that the conservation restriction be as unrestrictive as
possible.

Mr. Casamento inquired as to the potential rescinding of the CPA, for example five years into the 10-year
bonding period of the loan. Ms. Lopez stated that by law during the term of the bond, the Town is not
permitted not to participate as a CPA community. (This statement was made by Ms. Lopez at the time of
the March 30th meeting, however, it was later clarified by Ms. Lopez to a Finance Committee member that
the CPA tax could be rescinded by the Town but that sufficient taxes would still be collected after
rescindment to cover bond payments.) The CCPC looked at 10, 15 and 20 year bonding for the land
purchase and determined that the 10-year bonding was the most reasonable with P & I payments being
approximately $180,000 to $235,000 per year. The Town would only purchase the land after the
environmental cleanup and landscaping has been done.

Article 19 Motion 8 - $99,120 — Community Preservation funds for the restoration and preservation
of the Steeple in the First Unitarian Church

Ms. Lopez stated to the Finance Committee that during the CCPC's discussion of this project that their
recommendations for appropriation of these funds would be contingent upon 1) continued maintenance of
the steeple and 2) public access and use of the historical steeple. Under the Coalition's guidance to
Canton's CPA, it was recommended that they avoid asking the church to sign a permanent restriction
because approval by the state could take 2-3 years and would not be worth the value to the Church or the
Town and instead the Town should negotiate a private agreement with the Church for upwards of 30
years. The CPA is actively pursuing this with the Church. Ms. Lopez asked that the Committee not hold
up their vote on this. The warrant article will make clear that the project appropriation will be dependent
upon execution of a privately negotiated-restrictive covenant. Ms. Lopez is hopeful that it would be
completed by Town Meeting time.

Ms. Lopez clarified for Ms. Saint Andre that the party that would hold the Conservation Restriction for the
Plymouth Rubber acquired land would be the party that could legally enforce its terms. Ms. Lopez further
stated that for most land purchases the conservation restriction is held by a party other than the Town,
which is the Neponset River Watershed Association. Also they have received advice that a Board of the
Town could hold this Conservation Restriction, which they are reviewing with Town Counsel. Ms. Saint
Andre did not think that a Town could hold a Restriction on its own property. Ms. Saint Andre spoke in
support a permanent restriction for the steeple instead of one that expires in 30 years, as she was
concerned that the Town would have less safeguards on property they would not own (such as the
steeple) as compared to a restriction on property that they would own (open space at Plymouth Rubber).
Ms. Lopez doubted that the Church would agree to an agreement in perpetuity.

Mr. Comeau stated that the Planning Board voted 4-1 in favor Plymouth Rubber. Chairman Porter
confirmed that the Planning Board would be making a motion only on Articles 1 and 2 of the STM.

Continued Discussion of STM Articles/Plymouth Rubber          -




Mr. Salvatori stated that 27 units would be designated as affordable housing units but that the Town
would receive credit for 72 units of affordable housing.

Mr. Del Vecchio stated that the whole Plymouth Rubber process has been transparent and inclusive and
that they have received support from the School Committee, Planning Board, Historical Commission,
Conservation Commission and the ADA Committee. There was no mention of the Board of Health,
Department of Public Works or Finance Committee. Mr. Del Vecchio also stated that by constructing a
road connecting Revere Street and Neponset Street, there would be fire and safety benefits as well as
traffic benefits by having less traffic on Sherman Street, Chapman Street and Revere. A traffic study
would address this. Ms. Saint Andre asked that a neighborhood forum take place.

Article 13 — Accept General or Session Laws Enacted by the General Court       The BOS has not
                                                                                  —



voted on Article 13 yet. The Finance Committee would recommend that Article 13 be postponed
indefinitely.

Article 18 — Additional Local Appropriation to Supplement the Commonwealth's Chapter 90 Roads
Program The BOS had originally been in support of $850,000 for this article but voted to support
          —


$500,000.

Mr. Sims inquired about the Chapman Street sidewalk improvements and granite curbing recently
approved at a BOS meeting that had been turned down at last year's Town Meeting. Mr. Del Vecchio
stated that this had been approved at their most recent BOS meeting by amending the vote taken at their
June 24, 2014 meeting and that the BOS had responded to a recommendation by DPW that this project
could be done due to cost efficiencies.

Ms. Gustafson requested a detailed listing of the Ch. 90 plan and the funding for that plan using both Ch.
90 funds and mitigation funds for FY16 and FY17. Mr. Del Vecchio stated that also at the June 24, 2014


F1NCOM Minutes 3-30-2015                     Page 5 of 9                                   04/26/2015

meeting a number of projects had been approved by the BOS using both Ch. 90 funds and mitigation
funds.

Article 37 — Vote a Home Rule Petition — Number of Alcohol Licenses & Package Store Licenses

At the time of the meeting, Town Counsel was working on language for a motion for greater than five
additional licenses.

Article 38 — To Approve Funding for a Comprehensive Assessment of Town Buildings and
Facilities

An estimate by Architect Roy Brown indicates that $155,000 would be needed for this assessment with
free cash as the source of funds. This would include 26 school and municipal buildings. The Rink would
be pulled and evaluated separately. This would not be a space needs analysis but would be a study of
systems, roofs, windows etc.

Article 39 — Vote To Approve Title Change for Human Resource Administrator

Mr. Casamento inquired as to how this role evolved from an Administrator to a Director. The HR
Department was formed as a result of a 2001 Blue Ribbon Committee. This position had been voted in
May 2001. He stated that this could result in a compensation change depending upon the Compensation
Study being requested under Article 40. The BOS unanimously supports this title change.

Article 40 — A Municipal Compensation/Job Description Study

Mr. Casamento was concerned with the ramifications of this study and questioned whether or not the
Town is having difficulties in retaining staff. One of his concerns is that undercompensated positions
could cause a strain on the budget. Mr. Friel stated that the BOS policy is to be at or above the average
for salaries.

Ms. Leach inquired if employees would be involved with the position descriptions. The response was that
yes the employees would be involved in the position description reviews.

This study would not include an analysis of health, vacation and sick compensation.

Ms. Gustafson commented that a result of the last study was that these position description reviews
would be a routine matter done by the Human Resource Administrator.

The cost of this study was up to $50,000 or $400 per position.

Article 41 — Consolidation of Department of Public Works & Property Maint. Department

At Counsel's recommendation this article would include a stand-alone department as a new division of
the Department of Public Works and would formalize what is going on now. The Property Maintenance
Department has been assisting with improvements recently made in the Water Department Office, the
move of Council on Aging to their new location at 500 Pleasant Street, Earl Newhouse waterfront and
assistance with snow and Ice.

Mr. Trotta, DPW Superintendent has developed a third supervisor's position and has developed a job
description for this new position.

Discussion - Article 42 — Appropriate Funds to Meet Expenses for Next Fiscal Year (FY16) -

Chairman Porter suggested the Finance Committee discuss and ask questions about the budget:

Council on Aging - Mr. Sims inquired about the custodial services request for the Council on Aging. Mr.
Sims agrees with Mr. Salvatori that there should be a separate maintenance position for COA instead of
outsourcing. Mr. Friel stated that they would outsource major items such as heating but that since the
Rink collapse there could be Rink/Recreation staff available for assistance at the COA as well as the

FINCOM Minutes 3-30-2015                     Page 6 of 9                                  04/26/2015

maintenance staff at the Police Department. The FY15 COA budget had been increased in anticipation of
being opened in FY15.

Fire Department - Ms. Gustafson inquired about the Fire Department budget including an increase for
FY16 for four firefighters being promoted to Lieutenant if the regional dispatch were not implemented.
What is the rationale if the central dispatch is not being implemented? Ms. Gustafson would like further
information on this. Mr. Casamento stated that the Fire Chief had indicated he would not be going
forward with the Lieutenant promotions, and that the additional funding to the Fire Department budget
would be for overtime. The Fire Chief requested $120,000 but the BOS voted $86,000. Mr. Friel would
follow up with the Fire Chief on his intentions regarding the promotions.

Conservation Commission — Conservation Agent — The increase from 24 to 40 hours is still under
consideration by the BOS.

Assessing Department — The BOS had renegotiated in the past the Director of Assessor's salary. In
addition there is a 5% 20-year step being considered. Mr. Friel verified that there were a number of
individuals in Department head positions that had been granted a 5% 20-year step. Currently, the BOS is
nOt including the Assessing 5% step in the budget for FY16, that the Board of Assessors may be pursuing
this on their own.

Vote — Article 13 — Accept General or Session Laws Enacted by the General Court

A motion made by Jim Casamento that the subject matter of Article 13 be indefinitely postponed
was seconded by Sepp Bergschneider. Vote: 11-0-0.


Vote — Article 19 Motion 8 - $99,120 —Community Preservation funds for the restoration and
preservation of the First Unitarian Church

Chairman Porter spoke about the uncertainty of recommending Article 19 Motion 8 for $99,120 without an
executed agreement between the Community Preservation Committee and the First Unitarian Church
with regard to ongoing maintenance and public access to the steeple. Ms. Saint Andre inquired if a
change to the language in the motion could be done before the Finance Committee voted a final
recommendation on Article 19 Motion 8.

The Finance Committee did not take a vote on Article 19 Motion 8.

Vote - Article 37 — Vote a Home Rule Petition — Number of Alcohol Licenses & Package Store
Licenses

A motion made by Rob Barker to recommend to Town Meeting a Home Rule Petition to increase
the number of alcohol licenses by five licenses was seconded by Sepp Bergschneider.
Vote: 11-0-0. (At the time this vote was taken, the Finance Committee voted on the original motion in
the warrant proposed by the Board of Selectmen for five additional liquor licenses, but as noted on page 6
of these minutes, Town Counsel was working on amending the BOS original motion to increase the home
rule petition to a number greater than five additional licenses and possibly additional package store
licenses.)

Article 38 — To Approve Funding for a Comprehensive Assessment of Town Buildings and
Facilities

A motion made by Rob Barker to recommend to Town Meeting the use of $155,000 from Free Cash
for a comprehensive assessment of Town buildings and facilities was seconded by Sepp
Bergschneider.

Ms. Gustafson questioned if there may be another source of funds, such as mitigation funds, for this
study.

Mr. Sims asked if both municipal and school buildings were included in this study.

Mr. Bergshneider preferred waiting for more information on the free cash balance before the Finance
Committee acted on Article 38.

Mr. Barker withdrew his motion. There was no vote taken by the Finance Committee on Article 38.

Vote — Article 39 — Vote To Approve Title Change for Human Resource Administrator

A motion made by Rob Barker to recommend to Town Meeting that the title of the Human
Resource Administrator be changed to Human Resource Director was seconded by Nichola
Gallagher. Vote: 11-0-0.

Vote - Article 41 — Consolidation of Department of Public Works & Property Maint. Department

A motion made by Barbara Saint Andre to recommend to Town Meeting that the Department of
Public Works be consolidated with the Property Maintenance Division was seconded by Sepp
Bergschneider. Vote: 11-0-0.

Special Town Meeting — The Finance Committee would be voting on the Special Town Meeting articles
at a future meeting. No votes were taken at the meeting on STM articles.

D.       Other Business/Open Issues
