Update with Planning Board Ms. Beth Collins, Chair of the Planning Board was present and thanked the Board for the invitation. Ms. Collins provided an update stating first that the Master Plan was something all the members enjoyed working on, but majority of the Boards time is spent reviewing proposals for specific properties and determining if they fit within the requirements of the Towns rules. She provided examples of recent decisions they made and highlighted the need for expanding what projects are done through the special permit process verses the site plan review process. The special permit process is a more wholistic approach and has a wider scope. The Select Board members then asked some questions about implementing the master plan and re -development at the train station area (TOD-Transit Oriented Development) and the need for a collaborative effort by all landowners. Ms. Collins noted that COVID has delayed the work that needs to be done for the TOD, but believes that it will bounce back within a few years. Mr. Dumas noted that the Town has gone from 1,000 commuters per day down to 60 which does not justify moving forward on the project at this time. 10. 6:30PM Public Hearing in Accordance of M.G.L.

Motion: To open the public hearing. (Aptowitz/Trowbridge) Roll Call Vote: Rhein —Yes Trowbridge — Yes Schoonveld—Yes Aptowitz—Yes DelVecchio - Yes Passes 5:0 Ms. Marianne Staples, Town Clerk was present and asked those present for the dog hearing to show themselves on camera and raise their right hand. She then swore in those in attendance for the hearing including Ryan Murphy, Heather Murphy, Stacey Connelly, son of Stacey Connelly, and Animal Control Officer Jeff Collins. Mr. Paul DeRensis, Town Counsel was also present for this agenda item. Chairman DelVecchio then asked Mr. Ryan Murphy, the person who made the complaint to give his account of what had happened. Mr. Murphy explained that since September he and his family have learned that the Connolly's dog named Dozer is aggressive towards his dog. Him and his family have had to be on the lookout for Dozer whenever they leave the house. He explained that the dog attacked his mother and his dog and both had to seek medical attention due to the injuries by Dozer. He explained how this has made them not feel safe in the neighborhood and that he would not want any other dog or person hurt. He concluded stating that this was the third incident and the day before the incident the Connolly's were seen walking their dog with no leash. Ms. Heather Murphy then added that they have to go by the Connolly's home to walk their dog because their home is in the middle of the circle. Mr. Aptowitz asked the Murphy's if their dog was on a leash when they walk it and they both answered yes. Mr. Aptowitz then asked if the other dog was on a leash and Mr. Murphy answered that he was for the first and third incident, but the second incident Dozer was not on a leash and broke through an electric fence. Mr. Aptowitz asked about the incident when Ms. Murphy was bit and if he was on a leash and Ms. Murphy explained that he was on a leash, but the owners let go or owner lost control of the leash. Mr. Aptowitz asked if the incident happen in their own yard and Ms. Murphy answered it was two houses away from her property and the property where the dog lived. Mr. Aptowitz asked how extensive the injuries were and Ms. Murphy stated that the she was wearing a puffer winter jacket, but Select Board Meeting Minutes February 17, 2021 the dog bit and broke through to the skin slightly and caused lots of bruising and the dog was bit in the neck leaving a cut. Mr. Aptowitz then asked what type of dog they had and Ms. Murphy answered that it was a Mini Aussie Shepard that was about thirty pounds. There were no other questions by Select Board members and no other witnesses for the Murphy's. Mrs. Stacey Connelly then stated that the Murphy's were correct that her dog Dozer got out of electric fence once. Mrs. Connelly stated that she and her husband have not walked him off leash in a long time and do not walk by the Murphy's home because their dog barks like a lunatic and gets Dozer's attention. Mrs. Connelly stated that they do not plan to walk Dozer in their neighborhood since the incident and if they do he has had a muzzle. Mrs. Connelly stated that she was very sorry about the incident and had not seen them coming up the street because it was dark. She stated that the dog weighs more than her and that he dragged her across the street and at some point, she let go of the leash and that's when he bit Ms. Murphy and her dog. She then ran over and pulled his head off of Heather and her dog and was focused on getting control of him so he didn't do anything else. She stated that they have hired a trainer and working to learn to control him because he is stronger. She stated that he does not have any prior issues even with other dogs at day care or dog parks, and it is just this one dog that seems to set him off. Ms. Connelly then offered to pay for Ms. Murphy's medical bill and replace the coat as she was not aware until tonight that she also had to get medical care. She noted that they did pay for the dogs medical care already. Mrs. Connelly stated they are not using the electric fence any longer and are planning to install a regular fence. Mr. Tom Connelly was on the phone, and stated that they taking every step to make sure its not going to happen again. They are going to muzzle the dog and install a permanent fence. Mr. DeRensis asked if Mr. Connelly was sworn in and Mr. Connelly answered that he was not seen or heard but he heard what the Town Clerk said. Mr. DeRensis confirmed that his statement just now would allow Ms. Staples to certify that he was sworn in. Mr. Aptowitz commended the Connelly's for trying to deal with the issue and then asked what type of dog he was. Mrs. Connelly answered that he weighed 120 pounds and was a rescue with Labrador, Shepard, Hound and Great Pyrenees. The Chair then gave the Murphy's an opportunity to ask questions and Mr. Murphy wanted to clarify that when the dog bit his mom and dog it was the Connelly's son who was walking the dog not Mrs. Connelly. Mrs. Connelly disagreed and said that it was her walking the dog. Ms. Murphy said it was the morning of January 11th at 6:45am. Mr. and Mrs. Connelly both replied that it was not their son and it was her in her pajamas and a hat walking the dog. The son then stated that he was in school at that time and his bus picks him up at 6:50am. Jeff Collins, Animal Control Officer was present and confirmed that Dozer was a large dog and does need training. The description of the incidents from the Connelly's and Murphy's were accurate and were what he was told by both parties. He believes that everyone is on the same page and there are concerns from both sides and the bite that Dozer did to Bo was in the throat area and was a puncture. Mr. Collins recommendation at this time was to declare the dog dangerous which would require an enclosed pen and not a fence when he is outside. He added that a muzzle, short leash and training are also recommended and will help, but there is a lingering fear. Mr. Rhein asked if the dog was declared dangerous could he be walked and Mr. Collins answered that he could, but it would have to be a 3-foot lead with a 300-pound strength lead and he must also be muzzled. Mr. Schoonveld asked if the dog is declared dangerous than would this apply anywhere in the state including the doggie day care. Mr. DeRensis confirmed that any order issued by the Board would apply anywhere so if the doggie day care had an open field it would be a problem. The Board then discussed the difference in a nuisance dog and dangerous dog and the construction of a fence verses an enclosed pen. Mr. Trowbridge stated that any fence over six feet would require a special permit and Mr. Collins stated that a four -foot fence would not be sufficient. Mr. Schoonveld then asked if it were possible at a later time to change the dog from a dangerous dog to a nuisance dog and Mr. DeRensis stated that at any point they could come before the Board and the decision could be modified. Motion: To close the public hearing. (Trowbridge/Schoonveld) Roll Call Vote: Rhein — Yes Trowbridge — Yes Schoonveld — Yes Aptowitz — Yes DelVecchio — Yes Select Board Meeting Minutes February 17, 2021 Passes 5:0 Motion: To declare Dozer a dog dangerous and require an enclosed, secured pen for him when outside the domicile and require that the dog be muzzled and, on a leash, held by an adult capable of restraining him when outside the domicile and/or enclosed secured pen.

Discussion and Consideration of Penta Communications PR and Marketing Assistance Phase II Mr. Dumas stated that this was an opportunity to continue the great work that has been done already with Penta Communications. Mr. Dumas explained what Phase II consisted of and stated that the total expense was $150,000. He stated in FY23 he would be looking to add an Economic Development Director/Coordinator. Chairman DelVecchio stated that the Finance Committee is considering this item tomorrow as a reserve fund transfer. Mr. Trowbridge believed it was important for the Board to take action on this item tonight and knows that there was hesitation moving this item forward when the question was asked of who we are targeting or attracting to Mansfield. Mr. Trowbridge then read a statement "We are trying to target companies that add value to the Town and do not draw a great number of services. Companies that utilize a great deal of electricity that can save an incredible amount of money due to Mansfield low electricity rate. Biotech companies, box stores and specialty stores like in the Mansfield Crossing. Businesses in the Downtown, businesses wanting to go into industrial park and businesses that were noted in the Master Plan by residents." Mr. Trowbridge stated that they are not a community that can target specific industries, but rather attract a diverse group of businesses. Mr. Schoonveld also agreed that the Board should take action, but believed an economic development person needs to be in place to know who we are marketing to. Mr. Schoonveld then asked if the funding was all going to spent this fiscal year and if this was a known expense it should be in the FY21 budget and Mr. Dumas answered that it was a known expense and per the request of FinCom it was pulled out of the budget. Mr. Dumas also answered that it would not all be spent in this fiscal year and he expected to have half left for FY22. Mr. Schoonveld then asked why an Economic Development Director would not be hired now. Mr. Dumas answered that currently the FY22 is at negative $4.7 million and he was not going to add any new positions. He added that he was not looking to take that on now as a cost, but hopes in FY23 that it can be added. Mr. Schoonveld responded and said that this position would bring in revenue and could be offset in a year or two. Mr. Schoonveld lastly commented with a comparison stating that it seems like we are buying all the tools to do a project for our home, but we should just hire a contractor, so why would be buy a tool box for a person who is not here. Mr. Rhein stated he has been happy with what he has seen so far and he thinks it would be foolish to stop here and when considering that this is a very small percentage of the whole budget so it makes sense to move ahead with Phase II. Mr. Rhein also commented that things change and the Board should not lock themselves in by going after a certain industry. Mr. Rhein also thought that there may not be a need for an Economic Development Director as that would be a larger financial commitment and suggested that a consultant maybe enough. Mr. Aptowitz agreed with Mr. Trowbridge and stated that we need to move forward with this plan and not waste any additional time. Chairman DelVecchio agreed with Mr. Dumas in that the Town should not add a new position to the budget at this time unless the budget is going to be in better financial shape than it is currently. He added he wanted to continue on and see progress. Motion: To support Penta Communications PR and Marketing Assistance Phase II Project. (Aptowitz/Schoonveld) Chairman DelVecchio asked if there was any further discussion and Mr. Schoonveld stated that the Economic Development position is a revenue producing position and their salary could be covered with pulling in one account and they should fired if they didn't. Mr. Schoonveld stated that he would go to a FinCom meeting and tell them not to consider this position as a new FTE. He added that this was our tax base and we need this tax base to be productive. He wished the Board had the courage years ago to add this position because the Town would be in a different position today. Select Board Meeting Minutes February 17, 2021 Roll Call Vote: Rhein — Yes Trowbridge — Yes Schoonveld—Yes Aptowitz — Yes DelVecchio - Yes Passes 5:0 Mr. Trowbridge then asked the Board to agree by consensus on his motion. Motion: To agree by consensus with the list of companies that the Board is trying to target: "We are trying to target companies that add value to the Town and do not draw a great number of services. Companies that utilize a great deal of electricity that can save an incredible amount of money due to Mansfield low electricity rate. Biotech companies, box stores and specialty stores like in the Mansfield Crossing. Businesses in the Downtown, businesses wanting to go into industrial park and businesses that were noted in the Master Plan by residents." (Trowbridge/Aptowitz) Chairman DelVecchio then asked if there was any discussion. Mr. Schoonveld stated that was not an Economic Development position it was just some talking points. He stated that we need experts to know what is good for the Town and he was not favor of this motion. Mr. Trowbridge stated that FinCom had asked what the Select Board as leaders of the Town wanted to attract to Town. Mr. Schoonveld stated that FinCom has asked this question for years, but it is not a strategy for economic development. Mr. Schoonveld commented he would support the motion if BioTech was removed because it was being specific and Mr. Trowbridge stated his motion stands as is. Chairman DelVecchio believed this was a broad statement. Mr. Rhein added that the Bio Incubator in Mansfield has been successful and there was no harm in building off of that success. Roll Call Vote: Rhein —Yes Trowbridge —Yes Schoonveld — No Aptowitz — Yes DelVecchio - Yes Passes 4:1 At 7.59PM the Board took a short break. Chairman DelVecchio called the meeting to back to order at 8.04PM. Discussion and Consideration of Sign By -Law Mr. Shaun Burke stated that instead of creating a new by-law it was decided to amend the current zoning in the by- laws, he added that this clarifies the temporary signs and goes on to a section we do not have now for digital message boards. Mr. Rhein thanked Mr. Burke, Mr. LaCasse and Mr. Blackman for their time on this matter. Mr. Rhein stated that Mr. LaCasse had looked at other towns by-law and created a new by-law, but it was decided to amend the existing by law as Mr. Burke said. Mr. Rhein stated that with this by-law political signs are not allowed in the public way and when individuals pull papers to run for office the Clerks office could provide information of where they can and cannot put signs. Chairman DelVecchio asked if Mr. Burke and Mr. Blackman were ok with the amendment and Mr. Burke stated that it makes sense especially for adding the digital message boards as they have been a valuable resource for getting information out there. Mr. Blackman commented that the verbiage added for the temporary signs provides enforcement and clarifies that they are not allowed in the Town right of way and he was in support of the changes. Mr. Aptowitz commented that it is important to have these changes so the Town can maintain its ambiance and enforcement is needed if there is going to be a bylaw. Mr. Trowbridge asked what the fine was for a company that puts up 50 signs for example. Mr. Blackman responded that it is $50 per day per sign but the challenge is getting the big corporations to pay the fines. Mr. Schoonveld asked if another business wanted to put up the message board like the one at the school or public safety how could they and Mr. Blackman responded they would need a special permit. Mr. Schoonveld then stated that he agreed political signs should not be allowed on public property and Mr. Rhein answered they did not get into that with this by-law and the issues it may cause with first amendment rights however the Town Clerks office will provide instructions and make it clear that they need to be on private property. Motion: To support adding the Sign By-law to the Annual Town Meeting Warrant. (Aptowitz/Schoonveld) Select Board Meeting Minutes February 17, 2021 Roll Call Vote: Rhein — Yes Trowbridge —Yes Schoonveld—Yes Aptowitz—Yes DelVecchio - Yes Passes 5:0 8. Discussion and Consideration of Vacant Structure By -Law Mr. Dumas stated that this by-law is for vacant residential buildings and Mr. Blackman explained that the by-law was not discussed in his meeting with Mr. LaCasse as time ran out. He further explained that he personally was not in favor of this by-law as currently there are six residential and one commercial structure that are abandoned structures. He knows that the Paine School is one of these that is talked about and its in disrepair, but it is considered secure under the building code. He also added that he saw four come off the list in the past two years because they were purchased and rebuilt and the high value of property in Mansfield has helped that. Mr. Dumas commented that this discussion came about by the Board because they wanted enforcement for the abandoned properties and allow for the Building Inspector to go onto these properties and complete an inspection. Mr. Blackman stated he was concerned as he could not go onto private property without the owners permission. Chairman DelVecchio stated that the Board wanted to put this forward and wanted to make sure the necessary steps were taken to add it to the warrant by March 15t and then hopefully final language could be developed to work out any concerns. Mr. Blackman stated that he would support what the Board wanted, but asked if this should be in the general by-laws or the zoning by-laws and that Town Counsel may help answer that. Mr. Rhein stated that he was more concerned with this by-law being for commercial properties however he did have a home in his neighborhood that fit this description. Mr. Schoonveld commented that he fully supported this and was glad to hear the discussion between Mr. Dumas and Mr. Blackman. Mr. Trowbridge also commented that he supported this and this will be good to have before there is another Paine School situation, but also would like Town Counsel to review this, and noted he thought it should go under the general by-laws. Mr. Trowbridge also stated that this could get expensive if the property needs to be boarded up, but there should be a way to recoup those costs. Motion: To support adding the Vacant Structure By -Law to the Annual Town Meeting Warrant.
