[Music] on the website and welcome everyone to the Monday June 2nd 2025 select board and wage and personnel board meeting. Uh is anyone recording this meeting besides Lake Cam? Seeing no
one like to call to order. Plug here. Candido here. Carboni hunt here. Thank you everyone. And pledge of allegiance corner of the room. Pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America to the republic
for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you everyone. Let's move right along. We got a lot of agenda items today. So, select board
announcements. The special and annual town meetings will be held June 9th, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at Aonquit High School. Copies of the warrant are available for view viewing under news on the town's website. Paper copies are available at the town clerk's office,
police station, COA, and library. Um, the select board is looking for three at large members of the public to serve on the town hall building reuse subcommittee. Details on these positions and other positions can be found on the
town's Facebook page or the town's website under news. Does anyone else have a select board announcement they'd like to share? Hearing none, we're going to move to the town administrator report. Andrew, thank you.
Um, so the very first thing is I attached a uh newsletter for June and I attached a uh town meeting guide. These are ideas I've had but um have been actually implemented by Lacy
Marshall, HR director. Um she's done a great job with both of them. Um the newsletter especially I think a lot of work and she's able to do it I think pretty seamlessly and can just churn it out. Um and then I think the town meeting guide is going to be a work in
progress going forward. But I think this is a great first step um in communicating what town meeting is and what each article actually in plain English does. Um, I just wanted to say that LC is doing great work on those two
things. Well, thank you for your leadership here, Andrew, as we move into transition to making sure we are communicating with the public in the way that it's best going to be the most digestible format. And this is definitely it. It gives people a a quick
overview of what they're going to see, um, some important relevant information, and it's not so dry as the documents in the past. So much appreciated to you, your team, and especially to Lacy. Um this week we're doing the management
analyst um interviews, and then next week we are going to do the executive assistance of the select board and town administrator. Um so there'll be some big changes going on in my office. And the last one is there will be a I'll call it a community meeting, but it's just a joint select board and planning
board meeting on June 23rd at 6:00. Don't know the venue yet, but the MBTA is sending down a few representatives. Um, because they intend to develop the Lakeville MBTA train station parking lot. Um, don't know what that means, but
could be apartments, could be businesses. Um, so I I've invited the representatives from different land use boards and committees. Um, and we'll have that televised for the people at home. It'll be televised public meeting. Um, anyone can show up and ask questions. I think it's going to be the
first meeting in a series of meetings. Um, their process is that they're going to do basically get our feedback and put out a letter of a request for information from developers to then see who's interested in the real estate. Um,
I get the impression it's probably been years in the making. Um, so just point of information, but that's all I have for now. Madam Chair, yes. uh state representative normal has also expressed interest. So the invitation was extended to him as well. Oh absolutely. He will
be in attendance. And if you want to include any other of our other um Yep. Steve Sylvia who works for um he's he's on the school committee but he also works for Senator Rodicks will be in attendance. Okay. And I'm working on inviting maybe the finance committee
master plan. There's a lot of stakeholders obviously and what what happens over there. So um like I said it'll be the first meeting of many I think. Thank you. Um, we're going to skip item number four
and it's not 6:00 p.m. yet. Do we call order? Um, planning board support needs. I'm going to go to item number six. continued discussion regarding planning
board support needs. Okay. So, I sent out an email communication to the board on Friday uh with four um I guess options or game plans that are kind of all running seem kind of concurrently. Um the first one is I identified a state contract for
planning support services. Um this would kind of make a request for quotes process go by pretty quickly. Um, I think there's probably 50 to 75 companies on that list that we could probably ask for. Um, obviously some of them are more uh expensive, but I think
there's probably a list of people we could probably ask and see what they have for us. Um, another one I reached out to a neighbor in town planner who uh, everyone speaks highly of. Um, this person was opening potentially doing interim work um, night meetings if
needed. Um, it would be an off-site kind of deal and it' be project based. So, if there's any major projects going on, we could send that person this work and turn it around pretty quickly. Madam Chair, that she is currently in a town planet
position. Mhm. From what town? Black. Okay. Thank you. Yep. Um, the next one is I've been kind of going crazy recruiting people out of the blue, just kind of cold calling people that either are either town planners or assistant
town planners to kind of see if they'd be interested in taking on a role like Blakeville. Um, I got one bite I think is a pretty good candidate, but they haven't applied yet. Um, so hopefully in the next day or two we hear back. And then the last one is we're kind of
putting together a job description for what we're calling a planning and economic development coordinator. So we should have that by the next select board meeting. Um I'm not sure what the board I guess wants to see. They're all kind of different
options. So just present it to the board and show them you know how that looks that I think everyone would be able to make an educated decision on it. Um, and I think you already know my thoughts on uh making sure we're trying to find a way as quick as possible to support that planning board because they are in need
of something even if it's short-term in the interim, however we're going to do it, we really need to be able to support them and have them have some um some help on some of the higher level um discussions that are going on in that office. Right.
So I can have something on June 24th. Okay. That's final. Just send us what you got as you get it. Don't wait till to go on the thing so we can read it in advance. Yep. Let's
go. Item number seven. discuss and possible vote to approve the agreement for cable television license renewal services. Um we're looking at a proposed contract for legal services to negotiate with Verizon for our cable
contract. Our contract comes up every for Verizon it's 5 years every 5 years for Verizon. We go through this uh with our cable advisory board. um they spearhead the negotiations along with legal representation to make sure we're
in compliance and Verizon is in compliance and we come to an agreement on what we're being offered for um PEG funding and any other funding for the town of Lakeville. Andrew, is there anything else you'd like to add to that? Just that um it depends on the year and
what contracts are up. I think we budgeted 5,000 should be enough, but you never know if we'll have to just figure it out as the time comes depending on how the negotiation goes. And we've used Bill August I think at least 10 years. Mhm. So the cable commission advisory
board felt comfortable keeping with him. Yeah. I uh I don't have any objections to Mr. August. I think he's done a good job for us. Uh especially with um Verizon that tends to be more difficult than Comcast. Um, and uh, last time with
Comcast, he got us a 10-year agreement, which is what I'm hoping we'll come back with, um, for Verizon, uh, as we just want to try to lock in as much PEG access as we can. Uh, with the volatile
situation with, um, funding for cable uh, that's going on right now. I'll make a motion to approve. Oh, one question. Oh, I'm sorry. You can no go we make a motion then we do discussion okay motion all right I'll make the
motion then we'll do discuss second second second for discussion okay um so I understand the legal services for Verizon to these they're going to help us negotiate rate agreement with Verizon the Comcast
agreement when is that coming up for it's a 10 year which is every 10 years I believe it's 2028 somewhere around then I think it was negotiated 2018 So no I think we had it in 2019 2020. Yeah. Okay. Found the road. Yeah. We got we
got some time. Does this we had a concern raised regarding fees supporting Lake Cam. So when so I understand this is this this is not the Verizon agreement itself. This is for the law firm. Yeah.
I well when that the next step is they're going to negot what's our role going to be? how do we advocate on behalf of Lake Hammond and and um Bob Marshall was talking about dwindling fees and stuff like that. So is that next historically we've
given our feedback to the cable advisory board on um just a list of things that we're hoping to achieve uh or hoping to not have happen. Um but it hasn't been fully led by the select board. It's been
led by the unend I just I'm aware of the concern that Mr. Marshall brought to us. Absolutely. So, we get the law firm on board and then months few going down the road and they're going to work with cable advisory board and they'll pull us in as Okay. Yep. Yep. And that's why a
longer contract in my opinion is the way to go. Negotiating those fees, I'm sure cable advisory board, they'll do all that sort of and it also helps us not have to pay legal fees uh in a quicker cycle. And then we review the final agreement. Correct. Oh, as always with everything. Okay. Thank you. and then we
sign it as a board. Madam Chair, may I ask? Absolutely. So, just so you're aware, Lakeam is Oh, you have to identify yourself because you're not in session. 17 Johnson Drive. Um, Lake Cam is seeing declining revenues because of the number of people that are coming off of the cable and I
believe Bob Marshall came and talked with you guys about the importance of encouraging the Senate to redis redis how those calculations are done. So, I would just ask that if we do have that legal representation that that piece and it's not only the Senate, it's a federal
um the way that cable access is done federally, but yes. Great. Okay. Yeah. Good. Yeah. Right. And if I can just to go back to the motion, um is there a an expiration term that we going to put on here? Is it for one year? Um no. We usually do it until
they complete the contract. Okay. um because it's not a set time to negotiate a contract. We could we could, you know, make them come back and I just want to make sure that we weren't missing anything here. So, no, it took uh I think it took like
16 17 months last time for the Comcast contract. Okay. It's it's just it takes a long time for them to get back to you. Okay. But Verizon should be Right. Right. Right on. Just like customer
service. Uh I have a motion in a second. Roll call vote. I candy do I. Carvon I I. Motion passes. I'd like to invite Well, hold on. Now you got a whole another
minute to go. Let's see. Can we squeeze anything else in? Right. Agenda item number nine, discussion and possible vote to authorize the town administrator to apply for an FY26 municipal ADA
improvement grant. Uh Andrew has worked towards getting um some funds for us for ADA improvements and I will let him speak to that briefly. Yep. Uh so we did a self-aval transition plan. I think it was 2021. It
was finalized probably was started before that. I don't believe we've actually got any money um to implement any of the projects identified within. Um we kind of met with a internal group to identify possible projects. We came back with an electronic door and ramp at
the town hall um for EDA access and then Cleopon Park for beach mats and accessible wheelchair. I think those are fantastic projects and I'm I'm hoping that the state will see the or the ADA disability office will see the the
value in that for the town. Um we have an aging population uh in Lakeville. um somewhere between 11 and 15% of the residents of Lakeville identified as elderly or disabled. So having them be able to access services um in places
that are difficult for them to go like our own town hall um is is going to be a positive. Do any of the members have anything to add? Okay, I make a motion to authorize our town administrator to
apply for the FY26 municipal ADA improvement grant program. Second motion is second. Any discussion? Hearing none. Roll call. Plug I do I. Carbon I. Hunt I. All right. Now I'll invite the finance
committee to come to session. Sure. Sounds good. Uh call order meeting of the Lakeville Finance Committee. uh June 2nd at 6:01 p.m. Uh just ask if anyone else is recording the meeting besides lay
hands. Uh roll call. Robert Mowski. Lawrence call present. Uh Michael Wright. Uh madam chair, we just have one order of business before the warrant. Um need to discuss and vote on my appointment as
the finance committee representative to the regional finance subcommittee. I make a motion to uh to nominate Michael Wright as finance committee representative for regional finance subcommittee. Second call vote. Harowski
I. Costand I. Uh right. I congratulations. Thank you. All right. Um we are going to stop everyone. We are meeting with the
finance committee for warrant review. We have Oh, yes. And would you guys like to come up to the microphones? We got two spots, one here and one there. Sure. And yes, two times committee. It would
be helpful if the same person made the motion. The same person seconded it for the minutes. Makes things a lot easier. So, you make the motion. I second. If I don't want to make a motion, then I guess we'll all just pause. Unless Unless, of course, you don't if if you
object to anything, please don't feel compelled to make that motion or second. I'm close. Close. All right, Andrew, you want to walk through the process that you've outlined here?
Yeah, we can. Um, so I created a meeting motion summary. um basically just out kind of outlines. I don't think I send to the finance committee. I can it's going to be in the in the binder when town meeting happens.
Um but it just kind of goes look at it from here. It goes through the article um basically who's recommending it, what the majority vote needs to happen. Um it's not completely filled out yet. Tonight will obviously give us the
information to complete it. Um but we can start with the special special town meeting. Yes. So this is still a work in motion uh working document but I thought it'd be good to pass this out of town meeting
which basically is the warrant itself. The motion that we are going to read would be in red and then the majority vote whatever it requires. And then at after this we're going to put finance committee recommends or select board
recommends just so people have it. Um when I was at town meeting in the fall I don't think people were kind of following along with the motions because it's not really written down for them anywhere. Um just helpful information I guess. I agree.
Um so if we can start with article one I suppose. Um, article one would be essentially capital for the transfer station. It would be out of retained earnings. So, um, as I'm sure you all
know, the transfer station got deppprised. Um, and it will be on July 1st coming up. And so, these are the retained earnings that currently exist, which is $83,451. Um, in order for us to then use this money, we have to then appropriate it
before July 1st and putting it on the special does this. And these are the projects that would be um completed. So any any questions? Okay. Madam
moderator, would you just introduce yourselves for the record as you're coming in? Lillian drain the town clerk this work. Katherine Goodfellow, town moderator. Welcome both of you. Okay, so that being said, we're going to
move on and actually go through these um one by one. And was it your vision to have us just all collectively or do one do two? because I know we're doing it different than we normally do
it. Yeah. I don't I don't quite know what you guys have done because we haven't usually approved them individually as the select board. We've usually just approved the whole thing, but last year it came up a few times that um some of the members who actually are no longer here both wanted um
individual approval of items to recommendation, make their stamp of approval on it for a recommendation. I don't necessarily need that. I just I was I don't know how this really forms. Maybe I should probably have asked this, but who who does the motions? Well, that's what we usually do. We usually go
through it. So, if anyone has personal feelings about or were part of this being brought forward, we usually let them speak to it first. Um and then, uh the chair usually takes the leftover.
I'm happy to read this one. Okay. Unless um Paul or Chris. No. Okay. And then the next um we have unpaid invoices as well. Move that to LC.
Yes, I can do that as well. Do we um do you want to vote as we're going? Yeah. The finance committee is going to do the same too. through you. Well, um, Madam Chair, through you, I in the past we've voted as as a group where
our recommendation was I I and then Yay. Um, but rather than re everybody reading it twice, we'll be here all night. We'll just go off of what you're finish that article and then we can make our own motion and go through it, I think, rather than sitting there reading the same articles over and over. Would
everyone like it to be read out completely or do you want just the summary statement? We all have the have seen them. So, we're good with them, right? Yeah. So, everyone good with that? I I think we're good with it if if they've these have all been released to the public. So, the public should have the warrant. So, we need I'm going to go
through and then I'll I'll actually go reverse. I'll have the finance committee vote first and then we'll vote second. All right. So, let's start the special town meeting. Um, article one, capital
improvements, projects at landfill. How does the finance committee vote? I I recommendation. Recommendations from finance committee. How does the select board vote? I move to recommend a vote
to recommend. Yes. Approval. Vote. Okay. Do we all vote? Right. Plug I can't do I Caron I Madam Chair. Um so is that a motion? Are you doing a motion and we need a second or are we just I think these have
already been made motions, right? Cuz they're articles. We were just affirming the articles. So yeah, I don't think Yeah, I don't think it needs that. I think it's already been through the rigor. Okay, we're voting to
recommend. Voting to recommend. So, did we give you last name? I I did not. Yes. All right. Uh, that means a recommendation from the finance committee and the select board for this article. Item number two, unpaid prior
year invoices. Does the finance committee have a recommendation? Approve. Costan I. Right. I approval. Does the select board have a recommendation? I recommend um approval of
Article number two special eye carbon hunt I moving on to the annual town meeting. Um I believe uh the chair of the finance
committee usually reads this article for the reading. That's correct. Be happy to do that. Anyone that's not here usually gets that. But yeah, we'll we'll love that. But yeah, it's not there. So there he goes. He gets it. Traditionally, the chair reads every one of them, right?
Yes. It reads the entire read two waters maybe gross, but that's the reason why we gave it. All right. So we make the motion though for the article and then the finance correct chair. Yep.
Um, does the finance committee have a recommendation on the FY26 operating budget and elected officials salary? I recommend approveky. I cost I. Right.
I finance committee recommendation. Does the select board have a recommendation for approval? Questions about number two? Oh, I'm sorry. Um, yes. I I um vote to recommend approval of article
number one. Yeah, I do. Carbon I Madam Chair, who's reading the motion? Um for item number one, Darren Beot. The motion, not the budget. You have the motion. The motion. Who would like to
read the motion? Does anyone have a preference? I'll take it. Thank you for making that distinction, Tracer. All right. Uh, I heard there might be some discussion on the on the next. Sorry, get ahead of myself.
Uh, let's have that discussion first because we're not really making the traditional vote. Let's have a quick discussion. So I I guess my question is we're we're voting to appropriate or transfer available funds. It doesn't say what or
how much or for what and more importantly for the parks. Uh but parks are an enterprise. Why are we funding them? I thought we stopped doing that last year. I'm getting I'm getting one head shaking. I believe the vote was turned down. So it's still an enterprise account. So
it's an enterprise account. So why are we funding them? or not. It comes out of it's a town it's a it's a town department budget. So hang on. Yep. Help me. So they're an enterprise fund which means they operate
outside of the town budget. Correct. Subsidized. It's it's hard to really explain but essentially it's it's all it's all one it's all part of the town. Okay. Okay. So, it has to be set in order for them to hit the revenue when expenses. So, we have to so we have to subsidize any
shortages that come up. Is that is that what this budget the article 2 means? No, we didn't we didn't fund any subsidies. Okay. Again, Madam Chair. Yep. Um so there's um an appropriate sum out of um the park retained earnings. Um
so any of this money that um is going into their budget is been designated parks. Okay. Yeah. So it comes in one account then we designate it to then we can designate it out if we need to right because so that'll be based on um their estimated receipts. Okay then should
balance in a perfect world it should balance it should balance out but if there's actual we can take so we have to vote their budget and then it's will be based on so their budget right now um is upon approval of town meeting is $313,550.
Okay. Okay. I understand it. All right. Finance committee, do you like to vote your recommendation? Manovsky I. Costan I. Right. I select board. Would you like to vote your recommendation? Yes. I vote to
recommend approval. Plug I. Candy. I Carboni. I Madam Chair, who's reading the motion? Park Enterprise Budget. I say Larry Constant. Nothing. The chair reads them all. All the chair reads them all. That's
tradition. Like I said, anything that's left over, I will gladly take. All right. Number two passes. Number three is the capital planned and expenditures. Um and that is who would
like to read that? And this is the capital um improvements and this is the money coming out of stabilization. Stabilization because we broke it into two different categories this year. Yep. Stabilization and free cash. Okay. Ideally, the same person would read
both. Right. And you're on the capital expendit. Yes, it's that Candido person. All right. I will put myself for both of those. Okay. Article number three. Would the finance committee vote to recommend the capital plan expenditures out of
capital stabilization? Manowsky I. Cost I. Right. I thank you. And select board. Would the select board like to make a recommendation on capital plan expenditures out of capital stabilization? I vote to recommend approval.
Plug I do I. Carbon I. Hunt I. Next item is the second half, the capital plan expenditures out of free cash. Does the finance committee have a recommendation? I cost I. Right. I
I'd like to ask if we could change the word free cash. I hate that term. Nothing. It does cause a lot of problems. I have to say nothing about any cash. I just want to be clear. Nothing free about it. Uh and select board would like to make a
recommendation. I'll vote to recommend approval and I can candid. All right. Uh item number five is oped. Uh who would like to talk about other
postemployment benefits transfer? I'm happy to read that one. I'll see. All right. Does the finance committee have a recommendation on OPED transfer? Um, I'm sorry, we're on number five. Um,
where are we with our OPED payments? Does anybody have a answer to that? Well, we funded them at like 310,000 last year. So, we've been funding them really, really well. So, back in
2019, we started funding around 150,000 a year. and more if we had more and less if we had less. It was kind of that line item that we would dunk more into if we had the ability. This is the first year in a while that we're we're on downturn
on this and that's just because of the financial situation that we're finding ourselves in. But we are within well within the guidelines that have been set out um by our actuaries to um to achieve a stable financial rating and even
continue to go higher. as far as I know. Andrew, was there anything else? No, I mean I can get a balance and send to everybody. I was just more I just want to make sure that we're keeping um let's say the minimum payment due. I I know this was a tough budget year. So, we had to find places and I just want the 310 really helped us from last year. Yeah,
that was a big help. And I just want to make sure we're holding that minimum payment so that we don't start, you know, getting into um negative uh reporting so to speak, I guess we'll say. Okay. That does impact our credit rating too, doesn't it? Yep, he does. That's what I That's what I Madam Chair,
our finance director is here and I know he spoke to it um at a previous uh budget meeting and I believe is it 203. Yeah, I think that we were well within our drive to our 2022 or whatever. Okay,
that's what I thought the number was, but I just wanted to make sure. Thank you everyone. Does the finance committee have a recommendation? I cost I. Thank you. Does the select board have a recommendation? I vote to recommend
approval of five. I do. Garbon. I uh item number six, uh the CPA, the community preservation act. Um would anyone actually is this usually
someone from the CPA that speaks to this? And this would be who's the chair? Is it Nancy Yates? This No, I believe Michelle Mccair. Will you make sure Michelle knows that this is assigned to her and
so is the other one as well? One and two. Six and seven. All right. Uh, does the finance committee have a recommendation on article on warrant item six? I I have a question before we make a recommendation. Um, so
the appropriation for administrative expenses seems high. What is that paying for? Um, I don't know for this particular one. Was it meeting minute notes they had or was there something else too? Sorry.
You have to come to the mic. I I know you'd like love to sit there, but I'm going to force you to come up and speak at one of the open spots, please. And who are you? Who is this knowledgeable guy in the back of the room? So, uh, Mike Ellis, town accountant. So, the admin fee is 5%
of the revenues is how that's derived. So, it's 5% of the estimated revenues, which is what the CPA guidance recommends. Um, it can be used for reporting secretary, if you need a legal service or legal intaking on something. So kind of a wide variety of of administrative costs that aren't exclusive to an open space or a
designated project. So the 5% is based on recommendation from the state in this program. So it's not something you can adjust. Nope. Uh it's uh 5% of the estimated revenue. So if you click the five um what's listed there, that's what you would get the and if they don't spend it, it stays in the pot. It
actually operates almost like a budget. It opens on July 1 and anything that's uh not spent will be closed back up to undesated fund balance at June 30th. So, and the reason why it does that is because every year you're getting more. So, the 5% is like a moving target. So,
what's the uh balance, sorry to put you on the spot, the balance of the un undesated fund balance in that it's about 500 600 I believe it's just over 500,000. Yeah. I can for the total fund. Correct. Yep. Um, one more question about that, Mike.
So, if that 5% doesn't get used for anything related to CPA, then then it become it essentially becomes free cash for us for the following year. Um, no stay in CPA. So, it stays in CPA. It actually closes back to the undesated fund balance category, which is not so the three categories, open space, uh,
community housing, historic, and then this undesated fund balance, which is kind of a general can use on anything. It closes back out to that fund. Y. So, thank you. Okay. Approve. Costam approve. Right. I And for the select, would you like to
vote a recommendation? Vote. Vote to recommend approval. I can't do carbon. I Hunt. I. Next part of community preservation act project article number seven and it's
the lakeville cemetery right yes does the finance committee have a recommendation approve cross I right eye does the select board have a recommendation I uh vote to recommend approval
plug I carbon I all All right, moving right along. Thank you everyone for with this new little way. Uh, compensated absences is article number eight. Um, Andrew, can you just speak to
this one one more time cuz this is new. Yeah, so we're starting a fund. We're going to put 25,000 in in it initially from free cash. Um and this will cover any um acred um contractual uh compensated absences which could be vacation, sick,
whatever the the contract allows for. Um when a retirement or a vacancy happens um like in the case of Tracy um and Lori coming up, we have to pay them out. Generally speaking, I think it comes out of some sort of account. I think I've
seen probably operating here which leaves us in a in a bad way to pay some of these big payments. Um so I think this is more of a fiscally prudent way of paying those out. Yeah. And for the people at home that don't know um we have to pay out um and when we're people
are leaving we have to have a payout and if it's not expected we didn't budget it um it becomes like Andrew said where we're trying to find money from another line to support it. um because we're very specific on our salary lines departments. Ideally, this fund
gets big over time because um police and fire when they retire they have these big kind of typically a big balance hundreds of thousands and so I think this fund will get bigger over time but this is what we were able to put in initially. Does anyone have any questions on this?
Just I just have one question. And um did we have to um vote to create the designated account for this? What do you mean? It's not a separate account, right? It's just a separate budget item line. It would just be like a free cash
standalone or an article that you could just draw from. So it'll always stay there. Okay. Um until it's I know what you mean. Yeah. Just like where it's housed. Yep. On the balance sheet. That's all. So that it's not spent anywhere else. Oh
no no no the be issue. Okay. Any other questions? I think it sounds like a really responsible move to do that. All right. Finance committee. Do you have a recommendation? I cost I right eye. And I vote to
recommend approval as well and we need someone to speak to it. Charles Hunt. Next item is the unregistered vehicles. Oh, sorry. I candid bony eye. Hunt. I
thank you. Article number nine, the unregistered vehicle bylaw. Um, I'll just speak to this really quickly. This is a housekeeping article. Um, the previous iteration of the article did not have a mechanism for us
to actually assign violations and penalties and if we were to assign it, there's just no authority um that attached to it before this uh remedies that situation. And so we can uh if
someone was had storage of unregistered vehicles um and we found them liable of a violation and penalty, we can charge them in the fees listed below. Uh whereas in uh we couldn't before because
the article was uh poorly written. Um just that it is what it is or not. Um, is there is there an um is the a residents or wherever allowed to have any unregistered vehicles? All the Yes,
the bylaw allows for how many? One. One per one per household or whatever it may be. Let me see. Was it one? Yes. I thought it was one. Okay. So, you can only restore one car at a time. Um I think it's But you can if you had it
stored. That's different. No. Okay. Yeah. If it's in a garage, it's different as long as it's not out. Yeah. We're just talking out out in the thing. So, we're not uh preventing someone that has a fourc car garage from having four project cars in their garage. All right.
And and then the the fees for the first offense, 100, 200, 300, so forth and so on. Yep. Okay. Yep. And then each day the violation is considered a separate offense each day. Wow. Okay. How do you like that? I I think it's a Wow. Move
those cows quick. We're not messing around anymore. All right. Does the finance uh committee have a recommendation? Manovsky. I Costan I. Right. I make the same motion to recommend for the select board. Bud
I. Candid. I carbon I. Hunt. I. Who would like to speak to this? I'll read it. Thank you, Mr. Hunt. Article 10, disposition of abandoned funds. Um, Andrew, can you speak to this? Uh, can I invite Erica up to just
present it? Oh, Erica, there you are. Please come up, speak, sit your mic and uh, introduce yourself. Good evening. Erica Korea, treasurer, collector. So, this article would pretty much um
give us the um authority if um any funds, whether it be tailings um that don't reach people or abandoned property, um it gives us the right to um not turn it over to the Commonwealth to keep it for general fund.
And we've been turning it over to the Commonwealth or has it really not even since I've been here? No. Um, but I don't know what happened prior. Would anyone like to speak to
it or you No, no, no. I just um I just since I mean I knew that this was on here, but until you just spoke to it and just said those words, it made perfectly sense to me. I would rather keep the money local. So, I attended um a meeting
um on the new changes to tax title and the presenter, excuse me, was Ken Woodland from the state and he mentioned this. So, my question was, wouldn't it be advantageous for every community to have this? One would sink. Yes.
Yes. All right. Does anyone have any further questions on this article? Um, I believe we one of us has to read unless Erica is granted permission to read at time or does one of us
is are you a resident? No. So, we would have to add her to No, she couldn't actually. It would should be one of you guys. It should be a non-resident should not be making a motion. I will happily make a Erica, are you going to be there to hang out and chat? Absolutely.
Thank you very much. Thank you. All right. Disposition of abandoned funds. Uh, does the finance committee have a recommendation? I, right? And does the subboard have a recommendation? Make the same recommendation. Plug eye. Andy, do I.
Carbon I. I. Erica, thank you for bringing this to us and uh letting us know about something we had no idea about until you brought it to us. And Erica, I'm going to add you for permission to speak in case somebody has a question and you do need to explain.
Fantastic. Um, article 11, Harrison A layout. Does anyone have any questions on the Harrison A layout? Like to know how that came about. Um,
no, I think he's somewhere else. Um so the Route 79 project um is starting to get in the full swing of everything. They're starting to do easements uh basically takings or start that whole process is starting. Um they basically need a approved layout of the entire
stretch of road that they need to do. Mhm. Um we're finding that a lot of that doesn't exist currently. Typically they would come to the town and see what we have on file and we would give it to them but finally we don't have anything. So they have to like basically redo that
process very quickly. Um and so Harrison A didn't have that. So this basically they had to go out and recreate what it currently exists. So housekeeping as it were to make sure we're in compliance.
So it was never on record. It is considered a town. We do we do maintain it. We do those. So it just I think it's just a formality to develop to state to the state that we
are in compliance with all of our town roads for that area. Does the finance committee have any questions or any recommendations? Finance committee like a recommendation of no recommendation.
Does the select board have a recommendation? I vote to recommend approval. I do I All right. And who would like to speak to the Harrison A layout? I'd be happy to. It sounds like
I'm misery. Well, do you want Frank there to explain it as well? Yeah. And madam chair, if we can to just make note that um Franklin would need to be on our town moderator's list as well. Yes, he is. I think he gets that one.
He's a regular. He's a regular. All right. Uh uh number 12, roadway alteration acceptance. This again is part of the Route 79 project. Does the finance committee have any questions on this portion? No. Finance
committee makes recommendation. No recommendation. Okay. Does the select board have a recommendation? I vote to recommend approval. One eye. Candy. Do I? Carbon. I will speak to this one as well. So I
just love it. All right. Next item is a planning board item and this is about our ADUs or accessory dwelling units. Um, and we are making this article and we're amending
the existing article that we have to meet the new state guidelines that came out in February. March somewhere somewhere this past winter. February, I believe. Yeah. Um, so we just have some amendments to make to make us in compliance with the
state guidelines and this would be the chair of the planning board speaking to us. And that again is Michelle where they're designated or designated and that would be the same for 14 and 15.
Does the finance committee have a recommendation? Finance committee make has a recommendation of no recommendation. Does the select board have a recommendation? Um I will vote to recommend approval. Plug eye. Candy
I guess. Um apartment deletion. Um can you tell me again why this is in two parts, Andrew? Um 13 and 14. I don't know why they split it out like this, but they did. All right. Yeah,
that's a real answer. I don't know. With with a finance commission recommendations. That's real, Andrew. Thank you. I appreciate it. Madam Chair, I just have a question on this one. It's the other ones are all like amendments and it shows you what's being amended. This one just says it's
being removed and then it doesn't show you the section that's been removed. So, it's not really clear at all what that that's my request as well that if we're deleting something, we need to show the town what is being deleted. Agreed. Agreed. Thank you. Um Andrew, we will
have to revoke this. Right. Or the recommendation could just be a no recommendation until No recommendation because it's not fully realized. I don't know. Do we want to do it with provision like as as long as you know it has the wording on what was
being removed? Yeah, I can create want me to create a handout to pass out. It just it just needs to be Yeah. Just like on article 13 where it needs to be strike through and bolded and just so everyone can see what's being t taken
out. Is it too late to do that? Um, well, you would have to revote the whole warrant if you're adding that section in. But yeah, the warrant is being revised. So, you don't have another meeting before town meeting to revote that. We do have a meeting right before
town meeting to revote that. But are you are you meeting before town meeting? We could Yeah, we've always had I think besides some as a handout. It can be just it can be just a handout. so that
and when it comes up to this I can say you received a handout referring to this particular motion you know this this article and they can look at it. I just want to make sure that people know what is being removed. Um madam chair
question to the town clerk. Um will that go through the AG's office? Okay. By not having it in the warrant it will it'll be it be sufficient. So we'll do a handout. You're not materially changing anything about the article. You're just
adding the information so people can see it. Okay. And they don't have to look it up and bring their bylaws with them. Yeah. They'll look up they'll look up the the bylaw and it does say the entirety of that section. Okay. So,
and it's in the article before as well or no? Mhm. It's different. Well, it's the same. It's a different chapter and chapter. Mhm. Okay.
All right. Does the finance committee have a recommendation? Finance committee has a recommendation of no recommendation. Does the select board have a recommendation? Yeah, that's your words. So, I'll vote um to
recommend approval with added language with Do we want to be specific about any of it? No. No. Okay. I carbon I through you madam chair. Yep. This um
passed the must of the town council. Interesting. Okay. This is why. All right. Planning board. Planning board. All right. Article 16.
Do we have 15? Wait. No. Or article 15. Yep. I bypassed myself. There we go. Site plan review edits. Um, I wish the planning board was here to speak to this today, but has everyone
got a chance to read this article? I guess I just want to make sure everyone has their questions answered if they have any. Finance committee. Finance Committee makes a recommendation. No recommendation. Select board.
Um I'll vote to recommend approval. What eye? Candy. Carbon. Yeah, I Okay, now 16. Um, I think I know who should speak
to this. Mr. Clona, I'm going to put that right on to you. Um, does anyone have any questions about article 16? No, I can say that even though we normally abstain from making a recommendation because we're
specifically called out, we will make a vote on it. All right. Does the finance committee have a recommendation? Manovsky I. Cost I. Right. I Does the select board have a recommendation? I vote to recommend approval.
I can do I. [Music] That was it. Nice job. That was the quickest I think we've ever got through those. Right. Make a motion.
Yeah. Um if the board's done with us, we can make our motion. J. There's no new business in the old business for us. I don't believe so. I don't think we I think we're done with you. Okay. They don't need us anymore. I'll make a motion to adjurnn. Uh
second. Second. That's right. We're just trying to aggravate Tracy at this point. It's her last couple weeks with us. Thank you, finance committee. This is your last town meeting. Yes. Huh? You shouldn't have put that 25,000 in. She wouldn't mind letting me go.
All right. What do we That was on Mike's. There it is. We're going to go to item number eight. So you can take it. You can take it. Discuss some poss possible vote to authorize tax collector to option off
properties using Sullivan and Sullivan. Locate properties located at three Walnut Street, 6 Central A, and four South A. Thank you for coming back up, Erica. Can you please speak to this agenda item? Certainly. So, we have three
parcels that the town um is potentially interested in auctioning. Um so, I went out um I contacted three auctioneers, uh Sullivan, Sullivan auctioneers, uh JJ Manning and Zost
Group auctioneers. Sullivan and Sullivan came back with the lowest uh percentage. the town will not um the town will not have to incur any expenses with that 2.75%. It goes on to the buyer, but I still wanted the lowest
percentage to go on to the buyer. Um the other ones came in around 6%. Um and Sullivan and Sullivan came in at 2.75. Um excuse me. They were the first to get back to me and they really seemed um easy to work with in addition to the
2.75 that I keep keep mentioning. Um thank you for doing your due diligence, sir. You're welcome. Thank you. They would need approximately 5 weeks um to between the start of the proc process and conducting the um auction and it's
pretty much for advertising purposes. Um, as we're all aware, there was a new um new law that went into effect regarding tax title. Um, all three properties were taken prior to November
1st, 2024. So, we we would not have to give back any excess equity. Madam Chair, um, did we under remember the process. Does it have to go into the care and custody of the select board? No, those are ones.
No. So, the ones that need to go into the select board authority are the ones that you may want to sell to an a butter because we don't have enough butter. Okay. But this is something that strictly falls under the task for collector. Okay. Just wanted to make sure I had my
head on straight and um just for people at home, we've done everything properly has been through every bell and whistle and it's probably been years in the making. I have reached out to um KP Law, especially now with the new law changes.
I just felt more comfortable reaching out to them and um but like I said, these three are prior to the new law changes. So, okay. I'll make a motion to approve um well to authorize the tax collector to auction off properties using Sullivan and Sullivan located at
three Walnut Street, 6 Central Avenue and for South Avenue. Seconded. Can you reword that? It sounds like the properties are Sullivan and Sullivan. Is that that location instead of just if we can just add um prior to using the law
for um the auction auctioneer auctioneer firm Sullivan and Sullivan Y regarding the properties located Thank you. at Walnut Street 6 central Avenue and 4 south avenue. Thank you. I appreciate
that. Seconded again. Motion and a second. Any discussion? One question. So, Eric, your email says I mean there's three properties, correct? You said all three we're going to the town will keep the town took them prior to the the new
date change. So, we can keep the excess equity if there is any. Okay. I thought there was two of them that fell on the opposite side of that, but actually I was wrong. We corrected it. I gave him incorrect information. email email says differently. Yeah,
that's the memo I passed out before. That's the updated. Yep. Oh, sorry. I didn't Okay. There's a lot of paper. Oh, yeah. Thank you. All right. Any further discussion? Hearing none. Roll call. Well, I need a
carbon. I fantastic. Thank you, Erica. Thank you. Are you Are you done? Do you I think so. You're done. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Um, moving on to article
number 10, article agenda item 10, uh, discussion and possible vote on final FY26 town administrator capital budget recommendations. Probably should have had this earlier in the
Mhm. Yeah. Well, seeing as we uh ipso facto already voted for this um in the warrant articles, um I'll take a motion. I I make a motion to vote on the
final FY26 town administrator capital budget recommendations as presented. Do we have a second? Second. Motion and a second. Um, just to let this group know, the capital expenditures committee met this afternoon um and approved all these

resignation of Rick Fez from the Energy Advisory Committee. On May 21st, we received a letter from Rick Vez. Um, please be advised of my resignation from the Energy Advisory Committee effective immediately. It has
been a pleasure and an honor to have served the town of Lakeville over the years. I wish you all the best of luck in the future. Rick has been a uh important member of the community for us for for years in things like energy advisory. He also had lots of informal
meetings with me back when we were kind of coming up with an IT strategy back in 2019 and 2020. He's been a great resource for the town and always willing to jump in and help and we thank him for his service. Yes. Does anyone else have
anything to add? Just that it's been a an honor working with Mr. Boles. um known him for many many years and um I know his um always an out there. Yes. Because he's very uh supportive to see the
success of our community. Very invested in the success of the town. Um all right. Any further discussion? Would someone like to make a motion to accept uh the resignation for Mr. Veles? So I'll make a motion reluctantly to accept

Boaz. Really appreciate it. Um item 14, discuss and possible vote to appoint Jeffrey Youngquist to uh to Zebra. Uh attached is an email from the
ZBA chairman notifying the board that Jeffrey Youngquist has volunteered to serve on the zoning bylaw review advisory committee as the ZBA's representative. If appointed, his term would would expire July 31st, either
2025 or 2026. Um well, because considering madam chair that the um it doesn't go really because we just voted it and we have no members. So the appointment cycle would be July 1st. So
I would say that we wouldn't appoint anybody. So, I would make a motion to table this to give other people a chance to um actually is there going to be other people? No, they won't. Representatives
from um other conservation will be sending somebody um I believe they made a motion at their last meeting. Do we have the charge all finalized? Did we We finalized it. It includes a representative from conservation, planning, zoning. There's a couple at large, I believe, too. Okay.
So, I would I would uh vote to um appoint Jeffrey Youngquist um as the representative from the ZBA to the zoning bylaw review advisory committee with a term to expire on July 31st, 2026.
A motion and a second. Um any discussion? Um I know I was actually surprised that uh Mr. Ali uh was not there. He was on Zrack before, did a fantastic job. I'm sure Mr. Youngquist will do a great job. Um, I did have a
resident bring up a question um if Mr. Jungquist has filed a um a disclosure um because I believe he works in uh capacity with a private developer in town and we want to make sure all those
any um anything that would potentially be a issue uh that we have a disclosure on that. So we make sure um he's filled out all his paperwork, dotted all his eyes, and crossed all his tees. Yep. Yep. That's my only comment on that.
Uh, do we have a second? Do we have a motion and a second? Um, any further discussion? Okay, roll call vote. I can do I. Carbon. I hunt. I. Thank you, Mr. Youngquest. Look forward to working with
you. Agenda item number 15. discuss and possible vote to appoint Matt Ferrer as a member of the conservation commission. Attached is a letter from the chair of conservation commission requesting the appointment of Matthew Fere as a member. I've attached Mr. Ferrer's letter of interest and
resume. If appointed, his term would expire July 31st, 2028. Um, reading that letter, um, the conservation committee has reviewed the letter of interest from Matthew Ferrer at our May 13th meeting and has voted to recommend his
appointment. I'll make a motion to appoint Matthew Ferrer as a member of the Conservation Commission with a term to expire July 31st, 2028. Seconded. I have a motion to second. Any further discussion? Hearing none. Roll call vote.
I do. Carboni I Hunt I. All right. Item number 16. Um, this one had me a little flumxed. Um, discuss the possible vote to appoint Moren Candido, Paul Hunt, and Christopher Quanka to the rent control
board. Uh, my understanding of the rent control board as it exists now is the rent control board is made up of the select board. Mhm. Um, prior to 2020, the rent control board was its own board. Um, and their only real task was
um over the um mobile home um I forget which one. Twin coach. Twin coach uh mobile home. Um and um there were no other responsibilities really actually tied to that. Um, and then in 2020, the
select board decided to take up the duties of the rent control board. I never knew that anyone had to be voted in for it. I thought it was just implicit that it was part of the select board. I looked at my notes from last
year and I didn't see where I was voted in and I didn't see where Lorraine was voted in specifically when she came in. So, can I just get a quick conversation on how that came about? Um, these are traditionally annual appointments at the
in the July um appointments. Um, they've always been appointed. We've always appointed them. Well, if I may, Madam Chair, I u cuz I was part of this when we didn't um reach out to have folks um
I guess sit on the rent control board. So back on September um at the select board meeting on March 21st, 2022 uh there was a discussion um and a vote made u to says
here um that we assume the role of the rent control board as there are no members currently. So the select board um voted to be the members of the rent and control board. Two questions. Can the select board just decide that they're the right and control board
without going to town meeting? Um because I know there was a vote at one point to make them board of health and then separate them at board with board of health and those were both town meeting votes. Um but those are elected bodies as opposed to appointed bodies. So I just
want to make sure the select board was within their jurisdiction in order to make this happen in the first place. And the second place, it seems from what member Carboni said that it just automatically happens. Then again, I
don't think we were probably really clear in uh what the process was for subsequent boards. Uh it I didn't see that document you have. Yeah, this is I just did a Google search on
town on a Google search. Put a town search for the minutes because I knew the vote took place. Okay. So, I'm checking the annual appointment memo for 2022 cuz I don't have it for last year or the year
before. And if it and if that is the case that we do have to do it annually is why is there only three members and not five? Because you are on there already. But you can't have it annually if she's
already on there. Right. So I don't I don't see it. Let me look. Well, I guess just to cover basis, we could we could vote this annually that um we vote to make the select board um the act, you know, the
acting body of the rent control board. So that's materially different than than this agenda item. So I would just say we would just into the next. In 2023, the select board were voted as rent control
board with one-year terms. So that happened. So was that Brian on July 11th, 2022? Oh, okay. Yeah. So I didn't see anything for 23 or 24. Well, yeah. 20 22. July
11, 2022. Um, Leah, let's see. Leah, Rich, and Lorraine were voted as members of the rent control board, but did it expire? Terms to expire July 31st, 2023. Okay. So, her term has
expired. So, her point is valid that she should be on here as well. Correct. Um, so why don't we just bring this back at the next meeting unless time of is of the essence. Do we have No. No. I just happened to catch it when I was looking through appointments. Okay. Let's make sure it's on whatever um you have for
your appointments for going forward and then we can move forward with this and add it onto the next agenda item. Agenda 16 17 um discuss possible vote on select board
members to serve on town hall building reuse committee. The charge calls for two members of the select board to be appointed. Brian Day was previously appointed. I'm also on that uh board. Would any other select board member like
to serve on the town hall building reuse committee? I do that. Anyone else? Just so we can have a fight to the death if need. Okay. All right. I'll make a motion to appoint
um False Hunt as our represent designate to the town hall building reuse. uh committee with the term to expire July 31st, 2026. I second motion and a second. Any further
discussion hearing? None. Roll call vote. Plug eye. And either I carbon I. Okay. Item number 18, discuss scheduling July and August select board meeting dates
calendar. And Madame Chip, can I just confirm I have I think I wrote something down for the June. Can we just one more time? Oh, do we have Oh, sorry. We have a meeting on June 24 in addition to the regular the special meeting on June 23.
That that was okay. Got it. That was throwing me off. And then we have town meeting on the 9th. Yes. Correct. Okay. If we really want to, I could squeeze something in on the 17th, too. No, not necessarily. Not so much. All right. So, July 8th is a Tuesday and July 22nd is a
Tuesday. Um, I would be July 8th is a definite must. Um, I would be okay if we took July 22nd off and only did it as needed and not have a regular scheduled meeting. Um, we
usually take care of all of our previous year stuff on the firstish week of July. So, we're making sure we do it. We usually don't have anything much because it's the start of whatever, but I'd like to give everyone a break um from
meetings um unless we absolutely need to have them. I concur, Madam Chair. Yes, we have all our annual appointments in July. We can't do them on the 8th. We can um Yeah. If you don't want to meet on the 22nd, we can just Yeah, I think
we'll zoom in on the ETH. I think I'd rather have one long long meeting on the ETH than add another meeting. I'd like I'd like our people to be able to go enjoy something and and not worry about coming in for a little bit. Uh, all right. So, um, but again, we'll reserve
it if we do have something that we need to get done. And to your point, Tracy, if something pops up, we will make sure we keep that in. But July 8th for sure. And then we have August 5th and August 19th or
26th. Does anyone have any preferences there? What is it? The 5th and the 19th. I think the 5th and the 19th works fine for me. Does anyone else fine with me? All right. The 5th and the
19th of August. So, Madam Chair, that means you'll be meeting the day after Labor Day in September if you go with the 19th. If you go the 26th, you skip Labor Day week. I don't know how that works out with school and stuff like that, but
does anyone have any problems with day after Labor Day? No, cuz school starts, right? Yeah. Yeah. Life's back in session. That's right. All right. That works out fine for all of us as of now. We do reserve the right to change it, though. All
right. Item 18 done. Uh 19 updates. Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical Building Committee. We've not had a meeting since I provided the last update. All right. No updates. Fire Station Building
Committee. Uh the Fire Station Building Committee meeting uh met this past Wednesday evening. So, we received an update from our OPM um which is the owner's project manager and our architect. U so all of the bid packets
have been reviewed and everything looks like they're going to be going out the is it the first week in June or second week in June? I thought it was middle of July. I thought it was July. I thought it was July 11th. Okay, maybe I missed that. They I think they they're trying to give us like a
date out in the future, then they're going to try to like go fast and furious and try to get before that date. Okay. So, I know that they've um already scheduled a meeting with the conservation commission and met um with them. It's been uh I guess post uh
continued and there's uh they'll be scheduling time to meet in front of the the planning board as well as um my gosh, I'm having it rain freeze at the moment. Conservation planning

note for that as well. So maybe between you and I, we can make sure that they come to fruition. Yes. And I've had really really preliminary discussions with Andrew regarding the website and he's got some ideas on how we're going to collect and gather all those inputs. Okay. Community boards, committees, and
