To: Carl Valente
Cc: Bill Lahey; Kevin D. Batt
Subject: Sellars
Attachments: 9-17-13 letter from A Wrigley re Sellars(A0211017).pdf
PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL
Carl:
The attached letter from Alan Wrigley came in today's mail. The purpose of the letter is simple enough—
Mr.Wrigley is assisting Sellars in an attempt to sell his Concord Ave property, and is concerned that the
Town will exercise its right of first refusal under G.L.c.61A. He is asking whether the Town would
consider waiving that right.
Given the very long history between the Town and John Sellars,there are a lot of reasons why the Town
may want to facilitate a sale of his Lexington property. That being said,there are several issues that the
Town has outstanding with him, including:
• an unsatisfied attorneys'fees judgment of around$35,000,
• John's claim that he owns the land behind his property that has been maintained as
conservation land by the Town since the 1970s,and
• John's pending property damage claims associated with the alleged discharge of sewage onto
his property.
Whether this request presents an opportunity for a global settlement of those claims isn't clear, but it
seems to me that it's worth some discussion. The Town has some valuable claims that it could trade
away in whole or in part if it wants to(the right of first refusal and the attorneys'fees judgment)and John
has claims too that have some value(the last two bulleted items above). The last listed item is eligible for
insurance coverage, and the insurer is defending, but that may or may not be an obstacle to some kind of
settlement of it.
It may be unrealistic to think we could get a global settlement of all these issues, but it's worth some
discussion. 1 expect it may require the Town to be more generous with John regarding its claims than it
might be under other circumstances. I think it is something that the Selectmen could discuss in executive
session both under the guise of strategy with respect to litigation,and as consideration of the"purchase,
exchange, lease or value"of real property. If you think it would be useful for one of us to be there, I'm
sure that could be arranged, but I expect Norman and other members of the Board are familiar enough
with the background of this situation that it won't be necessary for at least a preliminary discussion.
Let me know if you have any questions,or any particular instructions regarding how you want us to
respond to this inquiry.

Jahn Sellars
Dear George,
Several months ago you and I had several conversations regarding the above noted
property.You are aware that Mr. Sellars has entered an agreement to sell his property. A title
search performed by the Buyer has, among other things,indicated that the property is
encumbered by an Agricultural or Horticultural Land Tax Lien,under the provision of General
Laws Chapter 61A.
The Buyers are understandably concerned that the Town might exercise the right of first
refusal provided in the statue after they have spent the money necessary to obtain the required
approvals for their project.
I am reluctant to remove the property from the protection of 61A because my client
would be subject to increased real estate tax if the deal falls through.
It was my thought that the Town might enter a memorandum of understanding that it
would not exercise its right of first refusal, and limit the agreement to this buyer through Spring
2014 Town Meeting. I am happy to draft such an agreement as a place to begin if you think it is a
viable idea.
Thank you for your input.
Ve Truly Yours

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
LEXINGTON BOA" OF SELECTMEN MEETING
DATE: STAFF: ITEM NUMBER:
Oct. 7, 2013 William P. Hadley, Director
SUBJECT:
Traffic Safety Advisory Committee Recommendation—
No Left turn 7 -9 AM Mon - Fri Old Mass Ave onto Bonair Ave.
No Left turn 7 -9 AM Mon - Fri Old Mass Ave onto Fairview Ave.
No Right turn 3 -6 PM Mon -Fri Wood Street onto Fairview Ave.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Time Based turn restrictions - Concerns of residents of the Fairview Ave neighborhood over
pedestrian and vehicular safety.
Fairview Ave is an unaccepted street and is extremely narrow, has several sight distance issues
and no sidewalks. The volume of commuter traffic using this road exceeds the safe capacity of
the roadway. TSAC recommends this commuter traffic should stay on the arterial roads (Old
Mass Ave and Wood St).
Site inspection by Police and Engineering staff support these proposals. Traffic safety staff
members comprised of the Police, Engineering, School Administration and Transportation
Service reviewed and support establishing and maintaining these regulatory signs.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Cost of materials and installation of each sign and post is approximately $250. A total of three
signs and posts equates to a cost to the Town of$750.
RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:
Motion to approve the proposed establishment of the time based turning restrictions.
STAFF FOLLOW-UP:
If approved, the DPW Highway Dept will install and maintain the proposed signs,

Selectmen's Office
Interim Recommendation to BOS 10/7/13—from Ad Hoc Community Center Advisory Committee
This report is a continuation of the Interim Recommendations made to the BOS at its meeting of 09/23/13. The
AhCCAC held an additional meeting on 09/27/13 to consider and discuss the recommendations below which were
approved unanimously as follows:
Recreation:The Recreation Department provides programming all over the community, utilizing space in
schools, at parks and playgrounds, at the Library, Cary Hall, in rented church spaces, and elsewhere. Recreation
Offices are located at the Town Office Building. Despite the fact that the Town Office building was recently
renovated, given this building's space limitations, the Recreation department still has the need for additional
facility space for independent Recreation programming, storage, and for seasonal employees.The present
Recreation storage space in Cary Hall is insufficient for the amount of materials and equipment that needs to be
stored. Cary Hall is slated to be renovated in the near-term and this will also drastically reduce programming
space for Recreation activities currently operated at Cary Hall.The Cary Hall renovation plan also calls for
discontinuing Recreation's present storage.
A long term goal of both the Recreation and Human Services departments is to collaborate more on
programming. In particular, there are obvious synergies and opportunities to collaborate around physical
exercise programming, arts and crafts, and inter-generational activities.
Similar to Human Services, keeping staff together is a priority so that programs can be efficiently run and to
maintain productive communications. The Recreation seasonal employees are a significant part of the staffing
component of running a Recreational program as large as Lexington's. Seasonal Managers in the Recreation
Department presently do not have an adequate work space in Recreation's current offices. Finally, in deploying
sports and other equipment all over town, Recreation staff need to be located as close to its storage facility as
possible.
• Move all mission critical activities to the new Community Center.
• Relocate all Recreation staff to Marrett Road as part of the Interim Plan.
• Consolidate equipment,(now housed in multiple locations scattered throughout town) and move
Recreation storage to 39Marrett Road
• Move all Recreation public-access services (walk-in registration, swim tags, Community Service Program)
to the new Center as part of Interim move.
• Look for opportunities to move"level 2" program activities (as identified in staff matrix depicting Levels
as follows -#1 Mission Critical,#2 Desirable, #3 Not Move/Long Term) into the Center as soon as
possible as space allows.
Further updates to the plan:
As the design has progressed and the Interim construction has been evaluated further, the architects have
determined that an additional bathroom should be added as part of the code compliance in changing the facility
from an office designated use to a place of assembly. It is believed that this bathroom can be provided within the
original budget range presented to the BOS at its meeting of 9/23/13. Other updates since the plans presented
09/23/13 include the design costs for developing construction drawings to build a continuous sidewalk from Marrett
Road to the new building. These design costs can also fit within the projected budget. A structural analysis to
accommodate the assembly use load bearing is underway. It is not yet known if any upgrades to structure will be
required, and if so, at what cost. The results of the structural engineering evaluation are due back to the Town prior
to Town Meeting.

SUBJECT:
Ad Hoc Townwide Facilities Master Planning Committee, Final Report
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Ad Hoc Townwide Facilities Master Planning Committee completed their charge on August
30, 2013 with the completion of their Final Report. Bill Kennedy and Richard Pagett will present
a summary of the Final Report to the Board of Selectmen.
In completing the charge, the committee held twenty three meeting and met with representatives
and liaisons of all Town and School Departments that were identified with specific needs in the
committee charge. A public workshop was also held in February to receive public input on
facility needs.
The committee selected the Cecil Group to support the committee work. The Cecil Groups scope
of work under contract has been completed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
A financial model has been included in the Final Report. The model identifies estimates of
project costs and the combined impact on excluded debt, both individually and combined.
RECOMMENDATION/ SUGGESTED MOTION:
Motion to accept the Final Report of the Ad Hoc Townwide Facilities Master Planning
Committee, as presented.
STAFF FOLLOW-UP:
Site selection process for Public Safety facilities should proceed, consistent with Board of
Selectmen FY 2014 goals.
It is anticipated that the School Committee will recommend submission of a Statement of
Interest to the Massachusetts School Building Authority for a Hastings Elementary School
project in January 2014.

This is the third of three meetings on proposed Water/Wastewater rates for FY2014. At the first
meeting held on September 9, 20123, the Board reviewed the results of FY2013 water and
Wastewater operations, billed usage and retained earnings histories; the FY2014 water and
Wastewater budgets as adopted at the 2013 annual town meeting (direct and indirect costs that
will serve as the basis for calculating FY2014 water and wastewater rates), and proposed
changes to the budgets adopted last spring; and,preliminary FY2014 water and wastewater rates.
At the second meeting, the Board took public comments on proposed Water/Wastewater rates for
FY2014
Tonight's meeting is for the purpose of setting FY2014 Water/Wastewater rates. The proposed
rates presented on September 23rd reflected a combined increase of 2.4% for the average user of
120 hundred cubic feet. The rates presented tonight for the Board's approval reflect a combined
increase of 1.6% for that average user. The reasons for the change are as follows:
1. A mathematical correction to the Hanscom/Lincoln Labs rate increasing it from $4.84 to
$4.94, which in the absence of any other revisions would reduce the combined increase
for the average user from 2.4%to 2.3%.
2. Based on a review of initial estimates of usage used to calculate rates proposed on
September 23rd, the following changes have been made to selected annual estimates:
increase in irrigation from 230,000 HCF to 244,000 HCF based on recent meter readings
from Section 1 for the Fall 2013 billing; increase in Hanscom/Lincoln Labs from 235,000
HCF to 240,000 HCF; and an increase in tier 2 wastewater from 105,000 HCF to 108,000
HCF.
Based on these changes,proposed FY2014 water and wastewater rates are as follows:

• A table showing the impact of proposed rates on low, average and high users.
• A memorandum from the Assistant Town Manager for Finance to the Town Manager
responding to questions raised at the September 23rd public hearing by Joel Adler
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Rates as proposed will generate revenue need to fully support the
FY2014 direct and indirect operating costs of water and wastewater operations.
RECOMMENDATION/ SUGGESTED MOTION: That the Board approve proposed
FY2014 water and wastewater rates as shown above.

Subject: FY14 Water and Wastewater Rate Setting — responses to Joel Adler's
questions
At the Board of Selectmen's public hearing on proposed FY14 water and wastewater
rates, Joel Adler raised a number of questions. I met with Bill Hadley and Erik Gitschier
to discuss the questions. Below you will find Joel's questions and our collective
responses.
1. If our Bedford water charge covers all costs, including the hard and soft costs,
why are Lexington rate payers charged 1.43 times as much in the first rate block,
2.14 times as much in the second rate block and 2.82 times as much in the third
rate block? We are retailers of water and not wholesalers.
First, regarding the matter of wholesaler versus retailer, the Town is, appropriately so, a
wholesaler, not a retailer of water. Lexington simply passes MWRA water to Bedford at
our wholesale rate (plus a small surcharge); a rate that Bedford would be billed if it
chose to connect directly to the MWRA main.
I was able to find the minutes of the February 20, 1973 meeting of the Board of
Selectmen at which time a proposal to sell water to Bedford was discussed. I have not
yet been able to identify subsequent meetings where this proposal was discussed. It is
my sense though that this proposal was a precursor to an arrangement that was
codified in the agreement described in the next paragraph.
The current rate we charge to Bedford is based on a 1993 intermunicipal agreement
between Lexington and Bedford with a 25 year term that calls for the water rate to be
charged to Bedford at the "current MWRA wholesale rate" times the monthly metered
Bedford water consumption times 1.01" plus a demand charge that started at $42,623
and is adjusted annually by the CPI. In a conversation I had with the Town Manager of
Bedford, he recollected that these charges were derived from a study done on or about
1993 by Camp, Dresser and McKee.
1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE•LEXINGTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02420
2. Why are Hanscom and the Cambridge Center (MIT Lincoln Labs) charged 2.05
times the Bedford rate?
Upon my arrival in Lexington, I inherited the practice of annually increasing the water
rate billed to Hanscom, the Cambridge Center and the Veteran's Hospital by the same
percentage increase applied to Tiers 1, 2 and 3. Bill Hadley and I researched our files
to see if we could find written agreements that codified this practice but did not find any.
However, I did find the following through a search in Laserfiche which indicates formal
deliberation and discussion on the provision of water to Hanscom and the Veterans'
Hospital:
April 4, 1949 Town Meeting: approval of an agreement between the Town and the
Veterans' Administration for the extension of water mains to a point near the Bedford
line for the purpose of supply water at the point to the Veterans' Hospital
June 28, 1961 Meeting of the Board of Selectmen: The proposed water contract with
the Air Force was discussed. It was agreed that before proceeding further with an
agreement, a letter should be obtained from Whitman and Howard, an engineering firm.
Finally, if the Town had a unitary rate for all users instead of the predominant tiered
rates, the unitary rate, net of Bedford usage and revenue, would be $4.38 per HCF.
FY2014 rates proposed to be charged to Hanscom/Lincoln Labs and the Veterans'
Hospital are $4.88 per HCF and $5.83 per HCF respectively. The result is that the
Hanscom/Lincoln Labs rate is 1.1 times the unitary rate and Veterans' Hospital rate is
1.3 times the unitary rate, which I would suggest is appropriate for these commercial
entities.
3. Why is the V.A. Hospital in Bedford charged 2.51 times the Bedford rate?
See the response to question#2 above
4. It was reported in the Comptrollers Office document dated 09 Sept. 2013 "That
much of the $409,138 M.W.R.A. surcharge that Lexington received was
attributable to increased usage by the Town of Bedford in the summer of 2012 for
an aggressive flushing program." How much of that $409,138 surcharge has
Bedford paid to Lexington? Note that the flushing program is not yet complete
(started October 2010). Will Lexington pickup the 2012 surcharge as well as the
2014 surcharge?
The $409,138 surcharge referenced above is in fact the increase in the MWRA
assessment from FY13 to FY14, a portion of which is attributable to Bedford's
extraordinary usage in the summer of 2012 (FY13) for a flushing program to remediate
contamination in parts of Bedford's water system. All the water that Bedford used in
FY13 was paid for, as was the case in prior years and will be the case moving forward.
5. Has Lexington received any portion of the savings Bedford has seen ($19.4
million) by connecting to Lexington to get water from the M.W.R.A.? Why is this
arrangement, which still has five years left, enforceable? Will it likely be
extended? Why does Bedford have the right to tell us what we can charge them
for our water? (as they seem to have done for twenty years.)
I am not clear on how the $19.4 million in savings referenced in the question was
calculated. I assume it is based on the difference between what we charge Bedford and
the rate that we charge to either Hanscom or the Veterans' Hospital. In any case, there
is no provision in the agreement between Bedford or Lexington that calls for any
"savings" to Bedford to accrue to Lexington. In fact, Bedford had to pay the MWRA
$7,145,000 for the right to access MWRA water through Lexington's water mains.
The agreement between Bedford and Lexington includes a termination clause that
reads as follows:
"Termination can only be by mutual agreement except in the event that the Town of
Bedford obtains access to adequate water supplies by alternative means, through the
MWRA or otherwise..."
6. Bedford has been part of our water delivery system for twenty years. They have
an ongoing problem with coliform bacteria, which is a sign that conditions could
be ripe for the growth of other more harmful bacteria such as Escherichia Coli,
also known as E. Coli. Bill Hadley stated that our water is frequently tested but
that did not answer my question. If Lexington's pipes become contaminated will
Bedford compensate us for the cleaning, flushing and relining of our pipes?
First, the agreement between Bedford and Lexington includes the following language
which might be triggered in the event that contamination of water in Lexington were to
result from conditions created in Bedford:
"If as the result of supplying water to the Town of Bedford, the Town of Lexington incurs
repair or replacement costs in its water system beyond those expected in the delivery of
the stated consumptive quantities, the Town of Bedford shall be responsible for its
proportionate share of costs..."
Second, at each point in our system that feeds Bedford, there are backflow preventers
that will prevent the infiltration of Bedford water into our system.

Dear Jacob,
Congratulations on attaining the highest rank in Scouting. We know the trail to
Eagle has not always been an easy one and we recognize that you have had to work hard
to get this far. Your time in positions of leadership within Troop 119, and the successful
completion of your Eagle project, speaks to your dedication.
Being an Eagle is so much more than just another rank. It is a recognition of what
you have achieved so far, but of more importance is the implied promise you have made
to maintain the ideals of Scouting into your adult life.
We know that your family and fellow Scouts are proud of you and will look to
you to be a leader as you continue your journey beyond Eagle.
Again, congratulations and good luck in all your future endeavors.

Brian,
I am the correct person to send the request to use the Battle Green to. Near the
Mast/Flag Pole is sufficient for the area. Send the application along and if I have any
questions I will contact you.

Ms. Pease -
My name is Brian Wood - I work at the Natick Soldier Systems Center with Deb Mangano and
COL Hillman.
I will be picking up the responsibility for the application to use Lexington Green for COL
Kevin Hillman's retirement ceremony.
Are you the correct person to forward the application to? The ceremony is planned for
November 1st, so we have sufficient time for the selectmen to discuss approval.
If you are the correct person, I can have the application to you tomorrow.
Just one question- how specific does the location on the Green need to be? The intent is
to gather near the Mast/Flag Pole - approximately 100 people - no seating planned, just
standing.
We look forward to working with you in planning and have a wonderful ceremony a such an
historic site for our Army.
Thank you so much.
Respectfully,
Brian J. Wood

Ms. Mangano,

Attached is information on how to apply to the Selectmen to use the Battle Green and the
regulations also. Just be aware that your request to use the Battle Green will need to go
before the Selectmen for approval; they meet approximately every two weeks. If the
retirement ceremony is soon, please give me a call so we make sure we can get it approved
in time. If you have any questions, please give me a call.
