estimates were high. The Town Manager explained that it is the Town's policy to
increase estimated bills to encourage owner to call for meter change out. Vice Chairman
MacCaffrie questioned why the town would up estimate bills to force residents to do
meter change outs. He stated that he did not agree with that policy, that the Town should

Chairman McCue requested a 5-minute recess at 8:04 p.m. to make copies of information
for discussion with Norton.
Chairman McCue called the meeting back to order at 8:15 p.m..
Chairman McCue asked State Representatives Poirier and Coppola to address the issues
facing Mansfield and Norton.
Representative Coppola stated that there is good news and bad news regarding the
budget. Chapter 70 Local Aid, lottery funding and other issues present daily challenges.
He stated that he hoped the final budget would be out by the end of June or the beginning
of July. The resolution with the bottom line figures was presented:
Mansfield received $9.628 million in Chapter 70 last year
· House Ways and Means promises $10,555,161
· Additional Assistance $725,040
· Lottery Funding $1,292,920
r

State is putting:
r . $11.6 million more in for regional transportation.
· $24 million more in for charter school contribution.
Representative Poirier stated that the School Building Assistance for repairs and
improvements would be available in the future. The Town Manager inquired about the
Towns two projects in the audit process. He also inquired if the numbers were going to
be reduced for those projects previously approved and funded. Representative Coppola
stated they would continue at the going rate for the existing list.
Representative Poirier and Coppola reviewed the Town of Norton figures as well.
Representative Poirier stated with the $1.5 billion deficit the State is dealing with, she is
pleased with the amount of aid being provided to communities and that it should be a big
boost for the school budgets.
Representative Coppola noted the Prescription Advantage Program for seniors would be
of additional help. He stated that it is important that money is going to the Free Care
Pool for hospitals so that they will be able to stay in business. He stated that the House of
Representatives has heard the requests for hold harmless. Representative Coppola said
that cuts will be made in Continuing Education and job cuts for State workers.
Representative Poirier stated that it will take a number of years for the State, Cities and
r Towns to dig out of cuts made over time and that there have been a number of cuts made
in human services. She stated that we are still a few years away from being out of the
woods, but that the economy is looking good.
Chairman McCue inquired about lottery funds going back to Towns. Using funds in lieu
of raising taxes is the lesser of two evils. He also inquired as to whether the
Representatives saw the money coming back to the Towns. He and Vice Chairman
MacCaffrie stated that is the way it was originally sold to the Towns. Representative
Poirier stated that this happened before in the early 80's and 90's and that it will happen
again. She stated there is a 5-year plan being designed to bring it back to where it was
and that she believes that is the way it will happen again. However, the State is not in
position to do that yet. Every reserve has been wiped out, few reserves are left, but pretty
much many of the all-major and minor reserves have been used for this budget. Every
effort has been made to fund what has been funded and she would like to be able to fund
everything to bring the level back. Unfortunately, it is not possible to satisfy all entities.
Representative Coppola said he believes lottery money should go back to the
communities, but he doesn't see it happening for awhile. However, if pressure continues,
it could happen in the future. Chairman McCue stated that it is that situation the Town is
in now. The Town Manager said in relation to the Speaker's initiative to put money back
into reserves, but at the same time, we could perhaps look at taking some of that money
and using it. Town Manager stated that while he understands the need for reserves, but if
you look at reserves and cuts, maybe a little less could be put into reserves and more cout
r be put into the Cities and Towns.
Board of Selectmen Minutes of April 14, 2004

r Representative Poirier stated concerns about the cuts in the middle of the year that
occurred in the past, they were disastrous, with Towns having to come up with the
difference between what was projected for funding by State and what the Towns actually
received. She stated that she was happy that they would be putting something back into
reserves. The Town Manager stated he agreed, but perhaps we could put a little less in
reserve.
Vice Chairman MacCaffrie said that he doesn't see what reforms will do to reduce the
cost of building. That changes needed to be made, perhaps proven plans for buildings
could be shared instead of each Town having to pay for design and engineering fees
associated with developing such plans. He also suggested they could provide cities and
towns with 5 or 6 different designs to choose from--that way all the Towns would have to
pay for as far as the design was concerned were the necessary changes to tweak it to
better suit their needs. He stated that frills come at expense and that he has noticed that
the trend has lately been getting away from simplifying models and instead designing and
building grandiose buildings and schools. He stated that parameters should be set that
funding will be provided within certain parameters, but not funded outside of those
parameters.
Representative Poirier stated that it does seem foolish for Towns to pay for something
that has already been designed and that models could be used. She also stated that part of
a reform package is that a Clerk of the Works was a provision to assist in the oversight of
r projects.
Norton Board of Selectmen Chairman Bob Kimball stated that Norton has gone three
times for an override to build new schools and it has been defeated by ballot each time.
He stated that Norton already had the plans, but due to lack of funding, was unable to use
them. He stated that he agreed with Vice Chairman MacCaffrie that the State should
provide plans to Towns, noting Towns have to spend too much money to build new
schools. He stated that growth is tremendous, and if Town's can't come up with a way to
build their own schools, then they may have to look at regionalization. Norton needs
another school, but there is no funding available and the existing schools are falling apart.
Representative Poirier stated that construction reform is a huge part of the proposed
reform, including changes in requirements for sub-bids, etc. A task force has been
meeting for a year and this project is ongoing. She stated that basically everyone is of a
like mind, the construction reform is needed and that she hopes that the reform will come
forward with meaningful change to save cities and towns money.
Rte 495 Southbound Access Ramp
r
Representative Poirier stated that she would like to get tje ball rolling to put money in for
the design cost and was hoping to get funding from Transportation. Bond money will be
available. She stated that a letter was sent today to the House Chairman of
Transportation regarding this project and she said that a bond bill should be coming out
Board of Selectmen Minutes of April 14, 2004

in couple of weeks and is that she is hoping to get that money. Representative Poirier
r stated that the project is for the southbound ramp only.
r
r
Chairman McCue stated that Norton and Mansfield have put together a letter and
identified the fact that both towns are in support of the southbound ramp, but opposed to
the northbound ramp. The letter was being given to the Norton Selectmen tonight for
review and signature and Mansfield will sign it next week when the Mansfield Board is
in full attendance. He stated that Mansfield appreciates Norton's cooperation in this
matter.
Representative Coppola inquired if the ramp would actually be located in Norton or
Mansfield. Vice Chairman MacCaffrie stated that the ramp would be located entirely in
Mansfield.
Norton Chairman Kimball stated he felt that the commercial properties that would benefit
from this project should have to assume a portion of the burden. Representative Poirier
stated that it was her understanding that there was some sort of agreement that the
property owners would provide mitigation if development gets to a certain point. Vice
Chairman MacCaffrie stated that the existing agreement with the property owner makes
no sense the way that it is written, and that due to the way it is written, there is a Catch
22.
Norton Chairman Kimball stated that he felt the responsibility for development should be
put on developers, not the State or Towns. Representative Coppola stated that the same
thing should have happened when the Norton shopping plaza was being developed and
that the developers should have had to provide mitigation. Vice Chairman MacCaffrie
stated that the Towns need to be looking at working together to figure out how
development will impact both towns. He feels that the Towns now have that rapport to
work together. Chairman McCue agreed with Vice Chairman MacCaffrie, that it is vital
to work together on these projects, that they benefit the Towns both recreationally and
economically. He stated that he is pleased that the two towns have such a good working
relationship now. Norton Chairman Kimball stated that for the last three years,
communication has improved, that the Towns are unified in the fact that they have
common problems and common interest. Norton Chairman Kimball stated that he would
like to propose setting up a meeting in about a month to discuss these issues and work
together on common goals. Chairman McCue stated that the Mansfield Board is aware
Norton did not support that northbound ramp. Representative Poirier stated that they
made it clear that they are only in support of one southbound ramp.
Rte 106 Underpass
Selectman Amoruso inquired about the status of the Route 106 underpass project.
Representative Poirier stated things are still slated to go forward in this fiscal year
through MassHighway. The Town Manager stated that the Town has issues with some of
the pumps. They are failing and could cost the Town $145,00-200,000 to replace them.
He stated that it doesn't make sense to spend the money to replace them because they will
Board of Selectmen Minutes of April 14, 2004

be taken care of when the project is completed, but it made more sense to spend the
r $35,000 to repair them for now. He stated that the Town is seeking to get permission
from the State to leave the signalization at West Street and Forbes Boulevard.
The Town Manager stated that the ongoing bridge construction for the Williams Street
Bridge and the School Street Bridge are running along well, but voiced concerns that the
Elm Street Bridge seems to be going nowhere. He voiced frustration over not being able
to get a straight answer from MassHighway regarding this project. Representative Poirier
suggested setting up a face-to-face meeting in early May with all parties present to
discuss outstanding issues. Representative Coppola stated that it does no good to have
meetings with the wrong people, that it is important to talk to the right people, to talk to
the commissioner or higher up than that. The Town Manager suggested getting the
MBT A involved too. The Town Manager stated his concerns that the bridge projects have
cut down access to the center of town and schools, these projects have dragged on too
long. Selectman Amoruso stated that the problem is this is a public safety issue. He
suggested having the meeting in Mansfield and that perhaps they could all take a drive
out to the sites. Representative Coppola suggested that the Town develop their own
timeline and let the State know that this is the timeline the Town would like followed.
The Town Manager stated his concerns, that everyone involved must be prepared to
commit to the time schedule and that the Town would take a pro-active approach to
getting the projects completed. Selectman Amoruso said he would be more than happy to
attend the meeting.
r
Concerns about money being returned to the cities and towns from the Big Dig were
discussed. Vice Chairman MacCaffrie stated that the money was originally taken from
the Towns and should be returned to them. Representative Poirier stated that she believes
that the money coming back would go into the general fund. Chairman McCue inquired
if there was any way to ensure that the money would go back to the towns. Representatie
Poirier stated that there are situations across the state that are worse than ours are. Roads
are in disrepair everywhere, although we are catching up. She stated that she thinks that
the State is doing the best they can with what they've got.
Representative Poirier and Representative Coppola said that it was a special thing to
come together with both Boards and that it is a terrific way to do business, as one big
team. They thanked the Boards. Representative Coppola asked they be called anytime
they could be of help. Representative Poirier stated that she would be in touch regarding
setting up the meeting in May.
Vice Chairman MacCaffrie went through his old business list:
· DeGirolamo Property - the issue with the cars being in violation of zoning bylaws at
the DeGirolamo property was taken care of by the Building Inspector.
r
· The Board never got an answer on the 40B report and why it didn't go out sooner.
The Town Manager stated that he would take responsibility for the delay, that he
Board of Selectmen Minutes of April 14, 2004

thought the final copy was a draft. The report was e-mailed and a hard copy was
(" mailed immediately as soon as it was realized. Chairman McCue inquired if the
Town could put some sort of procedure in place so that something like this does not
fall through the cracks again. The Town Manager stated that it Was his fault; he
should have gotten the letter to the Chairman two weeks sooner
· Sewer Treatment Plant - he would still like to know what happened and why the
transformer was taken off line. Chairman McCue inquired if DPW Director Lee
Azinheira, and WPCF Operations Manager Ken Hackett would provide this
information. He would like information on the problems leading up to the failure and
the steps taken since then. He inquired if information would be provided prior to the
meeting. The Town Manager stated that information would be provided and that the
issue of transformer would be addressed in the document. Selectman Amoruso
inquired if this means that this would cease to be an issue. The Town Manager stated
that it has happened again during testing since the power failure and that there are
repairs that will need to be done and funded. Vice Chairman MacCaffrie inquired as
to when this additional failure occurred. The Town Manager stated it may have
happened a few weeks ago. Vice Chairman MacCaffrie stated that he would have
thought that this would have been brought to the Board's attention sooner, when it
occurred. The Town Manager stated that he will have a report on that incident and
that if he felt the failure during testing was a major issue, he would have been on the
phone to inform them.
r · Inquired about an explanation as to why bids on the HV AC system were so high. He
stated he would like the Engineers to come to a meeting to discuss this issue. He is
concerned that it may have been substantially underfunded. The Town Manager
stated that he thought perhaps part of the reason for the high bids was due to a sharp
increase in steel and materials costs. Vice Chairman MacCaffrie stated that he was
aware of the increases, but that the increase occurred after bids were submitted.
· Selectman Amoruso stated that the preparation for the Sister Cities event was rolling
right along. They will be here at the time of Town Meeting.
· Chairman McCue stated he has heard concerns about the Golden Triangle project. He
inquired as to what sort of mechanisms we have in place to allow for comments and
concerns with the project. He stated that he felt whoever did the traffic study in that
area did a pretty good job. The Town Manager stated there is a local process, public
meetings, department reviews to discuss concerns of projects. Selectman Achille
stated that it is important that if the town feels they would like to comment, the local
review process is where those concerns should be addressed. Chairman McCue
stated he was wondering what is appropriate and not appropriate to address.
Selectman Amoruso stated we need to bring all boards up to speed on what direction
f' the Town is trying to go in. Vice Chairman MacCaffrie stated that many times
Board of Selectmen Minutes of April 14, 2004

r
developers are willing to provide assistance with traffic control. with companies like
Wal-Mart, etc. Selectman Amoruso stated that the School Street Bridge should be
completed before that project starts. He stated that the traffic from the proposed mall
would affect the Industrial Park as well. He stated that something will have to be
done about the railroad crossing, the Town will need to get some sort of mitigation to
get that fixed, in addition to the intersection of West Street and Forbes Boulevard.
All those things need to be incorporated. Selectman Achille stated that concerns
should be submitted to the Planning Board. Selectman Achille also noted there would
be time to address the concerns of the Board. Chairman McCue asked about the
appropriate way to talk about concerns with other boards regarding growth in that
area, including commercial growth. Selectman Achille noted hearings take place to
voice concerns. Selectman Amoruso stated that perhaps the Board should put
together a letter with concerns and the direction the Town is looking to go in terms of
growth. Vice Chairman MacCaffrie said issues and concerns can be channeled
through the Town Manager's Office and Department of Public Works in regards to
signal lights and road repairs, such as the widening of roads. Selectman Amoruso
stated the whole area needs to be evaluated for traffic issues generated from the
shopping mall. Vice Chairman MacCaffrie said the Town also needs to look at the
impact on other intersections, both east and west of the area. Selectman Amoruso
stated a mitigation plan needs to be prepared and put in place. He also stated that it is
possible that the Town may have huge changes in traffic flows.
· Chairman McCue stated that the Jewell Street complaint had been addressed, but
r delayed by the weather. A letter was sent requesting a 30-day extension. The Town
Manager stated that he, Selectman Amoruso and Selectman McCarter took a ride
down to that site and it was a mess. The Town Manager stated that in his opinion, a
significant amount of progress has not been made.
· Chairman McCue stated that the Highway Division did pick up the chunk of
pavement that the Town tore up while plowing. Vice Chairman MacCaffrie stated his
concern about the tone of the response. The Town Manager stated that the Town
takes care of a number of citizen concerns on a daily basis.
The Town Manager stated that a public meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, June
22, 2004 for the Hatheway-Patterson property to discuss the field investigation and
additional monitoring wells, as well as the assessment of the monitoring. The Town has
hired the Cecil Group to look at the risk assessment and review what zoning would allow
for the use of the land. He stated that he is hoping that the planning process will be
finished no later than the end of September if all goes will. The Town is working with a
compressed timeline. This project process has been very public and inclusive of the
residents, in fact a resident from that area sat on the selection committee for the
consultant. Chairman McCue inquired if there had been any contact with Mass
f' Development. He stated that they are interested in using the site. The Town Manager
Board of Selectmen Minutes of April 14, 2004

r
said that it may be premature to contact them now because the Cecil Group is working on
reviewing the information. Chairman McCue requested that the Town Manager let Mass
Development know what is going on. The Town Manager stated he would do so.
The Town Manager discussed the House and Senate numbers for local aid and the gap
left after what the Town was able to capture for revenue. He stated that he is scheduled
to meet with the School Committee on Tuesday to discuss budget issues.
The Town Manager discussed the possible impacts of implementing a 6.5% cut. The
Police Officer assigned to the Schools would have to go back to the Police Department.
The money for the Crossing Guards would be cut from the Police Budget. The Police
Officer positions that are not filled will need to be filled because the Town cannot afford
not to fill them. He stated that there are three front line cruisers approaching 100,000
miles by July, and they run 24 hour per day, 7days per week. It is important that first
response vehicles are not compromised. The Town will not hire two people at the Fire
Department to fill positions cut by attrition. He stated that reports would be provided to
the Board on trends in expenses and salaries. He stated the Chief Assessor's position was
not filled in FY'04 in an effort to make the budget work. However, in FY'05, it will be
critically important to have a full time Chief Assessor on staff to provide necessary time
for revaluation. Selectman Achille inquired what the Chief Assessor would provide that
a part time position would not. The Town Manager stated that full time presence is
needed with the revaluation coming up. He stated that he would look very closely at the
budget before Town Meeting, that he would like to go to Town Meeting with a consensus
r budget. He stated that he felt townspeople deserve that and he is committed to doing that.
He stated there was a need to look at some aspect of stabilization. School enrollment has
increased approximately 3%, and he feels the Town has always been committed to
funding at or above the net school spending limit. He would like the Finance Committee
to provide the Schools and the Town with what they perceive to be fair budget numbers.
The Town Manager is preparing to meet with Department Heads to review budgets and
look at needs. He cautioned that program elimination or cuts might be needed. He stated
that he does not, cannot and will not support an override of Proposition 2 1/2.
The Town Manager stated that the Treasurer has looked into refinancing Town bonds.
Town Manager stated it is important the Board understands the positive impact that
refinancing will have for the Town. Selectman Amoruso inquired why the Town is only
looking into refmancing these specific bonds. He asked if other bonds close to the 3%
cut off should be looked as well.
The Town Manager stated that in order to refinance, Bond council requires the vote to be
taken as follows:
r
Motion: That, in order to reduce interest costs, the Treasurer is authorized to
provide for the sale and issuance of bonds under G.L. c.44, §21A to refund all or
any portion of the remaining principal of and redemption premium and interest on

however, that no bonds shall be issued under this vote unless and until the final

The Town Manager stated that the final issue to be brought up to the Board was that the
Town is finishing up the fund drive for the Mansfield Around the World project. The
sign location has been changed to the South Common in the center of town where north,
south, east and west meet. The Town Manager stated that the sign was purchased on a
purchase order issued in FY'03 and if there is any difference, it will be coming out of the
DPW budget. Vice Chairman MacCaffrie inquired where the funding is coming from
and questioned why the work was not being done from the funds raised since it was
originally a cost that was presented as donor supported, with no taxpayer dollars being
used. He further asked why the funds are not simply being transferred to the South
Common installation. Selectman Achille stated that it was his understanding that the
work was going to be paid through donations and inquired how much money was going
to be spent for this project. The Town Manager stated that the funds would come out of
r this year's operating budget, not next year's. Vice Chairman MacCaffrie stated he
thought there was a spending freeze on this year's budget. The Town Manager stated that
there was, but certain improvements are budgeted. He said he was not sure how much it
would cost the Town, but it should be less than $500 or $1,000. He stated that he thought
that he should have discretion to spend the money to beautify the community. Chairman
McCue stated that yes, the Town Manager does have the discretion. Selectman Achille
stated that he is tired of these turf battles, that he was elected last year and that he feels he
has to respond to people. In the end, he provides evaluation, but doesn't want his opinion
swept aside and needs to state what his concerns are. Chairman McCue stated that he did
not mean to sweep anyone's concerns under the table, that he was just stating that the
Town Manager did have that discretion. The Town Manager stated that he feels that he
has always met the objectives of the Board and intends to continue to do so. Vice
Chairman MacCaffrie stated that perhaps that Town would be better served using the
money elsewhere, like the COA or at the Schools. He stated that he understands that we
have Sister Cities coming and the need for beautification, but we must be realistic. The
Town Manager stated that Town has made commitments to certain projects, like the sign
project. Selectman Amoruso inquired what about concerns of the placement of the sign.
The Town Manager stated that he wanted the Board to know when these kinds of
decision are made; you have to look at the commitments to the community. That the
Town shares common objectives and just mentioned it for the.ir information. It needs to
be done. Vice Chairman MacCaffrie stated we need new police cruisers, need this, need
that and they all add up.
