 Good evening and welcome everyone to the Selections meeting for May 23rd 2016 our first item on the agenda is a discussion for Memorial Day 2016 and we have our Director of Veterans Services Jeff Jeffery A. Chunglow Mr. Chunglow. Good evening so I just wanted to take this time Memorial Day is a week away just update the board and the residents on our Memorial Day ceremony so it's a very special ceremony this year not only that it's Memorial Day it's also the 150th anniversary of Memorial Day so that's an added feature but this year for the town marks a special event we're dedicating the last veterans lot at Mount Pleasant the last veterans bury a lot so it's going to be dedicated in honor of all the men and women that have served in the global war on terrorism campaign so the Veterans Council has worked very hard putting everything together in place to get this ready to go so I think that's going to be a very special event there is a change this year this year the ceremony will be conducted in the town hall ceremony will start at 930 and the reason for that change there's a number of reasons the biggest one is for me it's important that we honor and respect all of our veterans so I want maximum participation when I speak to a lot of the older veterans they're hesitant to come and participate at the square because there's no seating and they have to walk distances so the focus would be here to provide the seating transportation and I'll get to that in a minute but then the other big factor is it eliminates weather conditions as well so we'll have a very nice ceremony indoors we will be providing transportation for the older veterans from the town hall following the ceremony to Mount Pleasant cemetery for the wreath laying and the unveiling of the new monument at Mount Pleasant so so that is another caveat to draw people in this year for the ceremony I'm pleased to announce that we are going to be honoring three World War two veterans which is unprecedented and and there's a very special note for one of them but I'm not going to be a spoiler so so you have to come and you have to get the details on that one so three World War two veterans a Korean veteran Vietnam veteran and then for the global war on terrorism we're doing an in memoriam for John O'Reardon so he was our Arlington resident that died during that campaign period so his wife Patty will be representing him this year my cheerleaders Molly is his daughter okay very good yes so for the ceremony itself we have obviously our local speakers that will be present as well as the state officials but our keynote speaker is going to be Major General Jeffrey Clark so former commanding officer of Walter Reed Bethesda Military Medical Center now Director of the Defense Health Agency in Washington so he'll be arriving he agreed to speak so very very exciting speaker family practitioner so he still practices he's very in tune with all the veterans needs as well as family support so he's an excellent person to be able to speak to this campaign era that we're going to be honoring and in addition I have comments from Tom Kelly Captain Tom Kelly he's now president of the Medal of Honor Society so I had invited him to speak he agreed last year but he was elected president so he'll be in Washington so but he passed along his remarks so it should be a good day so 0 9 30 the ceremony will start will introduce everybody the semi military ceremony but should be worthy of of the town and and then we'll have the wreathlings at the cemetery and then the unveiling of the new monument thank you any questions and I think you were you going to speak to and if you did and I missed it I apologize I was trying to log out my novice agenda an event Sunday evening no that's a separate event that's a separate event but that's something that all of my colleagues have been notified of yes okay any questions if not thank you and we'll see you on Memorial Day unless sounds like a great event thank you yes well thank you very much and also you know the the members of the Veterans Council so couldn't do it without him so thank you very much okay next we have the consent agenda we have the minutes of the meetings of May 16 2016 along with an addendum to May 16 2016 we have a request for a special one-day beer and wine license June 4th 2016 at the Robbins Memorial Town Hall for a private event Samantha S.

Y. F. automotive center George and mckel 10 sunny side of Arlington mass don't believe he's here move approval by Mr. Byrne seconded by Mr. Grilly any questions if not all those in favor say aye aye all those opposed unanimous vote excuse me we now have agenda item 11 I see we have Arlington committee on tourism and economic development representative Tom Davison for approval the Arlington alive summer street arts block party Saturday June 25th 2016 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. we have restrictions and street closures from 9 30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Broadway and Mass Ave Broadway at Alton and Broadway before the fire station request for performances and boots on Broadway Plaza the use of the parking spaces on Broadway in front of the Veterans Memorial temporary bus stop to be relocated on the Mass Ave side of the Veterans Memorial the hanging of 12 pole banners and Arlington Center suspension of parking fees and the Russell common lot Tom Mr. Davison hi thank you I hope you're all excuse me I hope you're all well well this evening so to be the fourth year that we'd be doing the summer arts block party and it's been a big success and people are now starting to expect it which is kind of nice but it's also trying to expect it so there's another level of work to it but we have a great person that we've been able to bring on board Marga Vera who's a town citizen and she's been doing a great job really kind of rallying around this we have this year we have Robbins libraries participating the Arlington friends for the dramas participating for the first time which is which is exciting so it's looking to shape up to be a good day I did want to mention to that we do have Saturday June 25th but there is a rain date for Sunday June 26th that these same requests would apply to that date as well okay just a nitpicky question is it a suspension of parking fees in the Russell common lot or is it going to be a waiver or does it not matter it says waiver and the request is a suspension in the agenda I think they would functionally achieve this achieve the same but yeah I think it'd be a waiver okay so just whoever makes that motion under 11f waiver parking fees suspension to me means enforcement will go out and then whatever but it says waiver in the original request whoever makes the original motion if you could just add that as a friendly amendment anyone to move approval yeah I move approvals the quest as as presented to us substituting the word suspension for waiver Mr. Burn any further discussion no I just want to thank Mr. Davidson for bringing it forward I haven't been as involved in this as I haven't in past past years but I know that you know part of the intention and you can correct me if I'm wrong but part of the intention of ATED was to try to help get the festival up and off the ground and to try to pull in more involvement by the local merchants and from what I can see that that's actually been happening quite a bit and I think that's a positive positive development it's always tough when you when you are getting something rolling and to give it wings but it looks like this now does have wings and it's been a you know trial and error I know that last year there's an attempt to extend it to the green and it was a little bit too dispersed at that point so I think this is this is it's great the work that you and the rest of the merchants have been doing and I'm sorry I'll miss it this year I'll be out of town out of the country so yeah and just two other quick questions the notification of the MBTA regarding the bus stop I'm assuming you and or the town manager who's coordinating that I think in the past we've coordinated that with the ancient police department Corey with working with excuse me Corey working with Laura will manage that and that may be the same answer for my second questions in terms of the one recommended police officer that will be there that will be that person's designation location will be determined either by the chief yeah at the point of need wherever it's most needed okay that's fine on a motion by Mr. Carol with the suspension change to waver seconded by Mr. Burn any further questions if not all those in favor say aye as opposed unanimous vote and now me facetiously saying not you my favorite item of the year discussion unless you want to discuss scheduling the goal setting session our preeminent town manager mr. chapter like mr. Grilly move we table that this item 12 until I'll pass the gap no no mr. chapter it's always at the board's discretion it's like a dentist appointment we need to get it over sooner rather than later but once it's over glad no I'm teasing go ahead mr. chapter so thank you for that warm introduction to this agenda it is that time of year where we pick a date the past couple years I believe I think every year we picked a Saturday in June I know June is busy this year with a number of things happening if we you know need to slide to July and can make it work I think that's fine but just open to hearing what if we can find a Saturday that works for everybody and see if we can pick that date okay if everyone feels comfortable in getting their calendars out for Saturday and June do you anticipate a time range I think we've done I think we've done nine to noon in the past is that some yeah feasible to everybody I mean but we don't have to necessarily go the first two weekends for me the fourth well definitely the fourths difficult but I can't do the 11 in fact really the 18th is the only Saturday that really works in June I perhaps could make the 25th work how does 18 look for everybody no how does 25 no okay I mean if I had to I could skip fourth it's just on my graduation does want to move into July looking at everyone's faces yes be better for me but July would be better for me what dates in July do you have why don't we stop there well I'm July and fine about June I problems how about July 9th about July 16 how about July 16th July 16th works better for me okay I think so I think that's fine okay so July 16th at 9 a.m. in the town manager's conference town manager conference room to go no later than 12 noon unless we really feel like we need to all right and I'll leave it to mr. chapter lane to what we end up on sorry July 16 July 16 9 a.m. in the town manager's conference room second four okay I think we've actually done to 12 30 before I mean to excuse me to 11 30 yeah yeah and I don't mean to I am making fun of it and I shouldn't because the past couple of years at least last year the one that I remember mr. chapter lane actually was a very useful yeah I think it is a helpful it's one of the most productive discussions we have all year actually yeah it really is so I apologize for having fun with it it's just you know me and a Saturday and no I know I get it now no but when they're past noon mr. Greeley will buy us lunch okay sounds like a plan okay I'll buy it if we start at 11 okay we have correspondence received a motion to move receipt by so mr. Dunn seconded by second mr. Burn we have three agenda items two one of the three I think we just received well let me see what my colleagues say sorry move that we send the speed table request to tack and move receipt of the other two okay it's fine I think there might be somebody here to speak to one of them is there anyone here that would like to speak to any items under correspondence received the speed table name change or the letter from Superintendent Boqueline sorry about that thank you mr. I know Goldstein Arlington Human Rights Commission I wanted to talk about the considering a name change to the board of select men from board of select men to select board I'm not the one who submitted it I don't know the person who submitted it but since it was there I figured I would take the opportunity to speak about it it's something I had actually mentioned off hand to Adam a couple of months ago so I don't do you hold a hearing I don't know what happens at this point when you respond to a correspondence received you know if you'd like to make some remarks to it and then the chair in consultation with the rest of the board in the town manager will see where it goes forward in the future okay then I will read some probably just remarked thank you I get nervous that's why it's all written out so thank you chair Diane Mahon for allowing me to speak tonight the presence of a woman on this board is a great model for girls growing up right now it plants the seed that a career in politics is a viable opportunity for them while some people who are not male are clearly not discouraged from running for office as a select man some will be and that's a problem we should correct last week oh you're gonna tell that I'm really not local I don't know how to pronounce this Southwick Southic I don't know Southwick Southwick's town meeting voted to change their board of select men to a select board and that made it the 19th in Massachusetts to do so and I think Arlington should be next and here are a couple of reasons why an important way to encourage full participation in the political process is to remove barriers that make people feel unwelcome such as non-inclusive language if we want children of all genders to feel free to run for office we must remove outdated gender language like the board of select men which sends a message to impressionable children that men are the only ones who shape our town messages like that can restrict how they imagine their own future I understand that people have an emotional attachment to our town's traditions even down to what we call things but equality of opportunity is more important than sentimentality perhaps everyone knows that select men doesn't really mean just men but children don't reason the same way that adults do if it were really true it seems likely that this board would include more women than just one I also know that changes like this feel like a nuisance there are a lot of hoops to jump through but it's worth putting in the work so that the next generation of leaders includes all of the best quality candidates politics works best when everyone is free to participate it's not enough to remove prohibitions such as finally allowing everyone to vote we need to actively welcome everyone's contributions and that's why the Human Rights Commission supports this change thank you thank you thank you make what I Mr. really well I want to thank you that was a very well presented cogent argument that I disagree with but very well done and well of course and so I should be the last to speak on it since I am a select man but when this board had three women the majority they brought and miss mine they wish to speak to this but that this discussion was also held and they agreed to keep it at board of select men that doesn't surprise me at all okay there are there's a lot of reasons for that and I would never speak for miss mahan but it is a problem for women in politics to appear to be putting forth gendered related legislation they can't in order to be electable they can't really go on that platform it makes them seem like they're only a candidate for women as opposed to for the whole town which makes it harder to be elected I mean I if I had more time I could have brought a whole bunch of information about that and I can come back and do that if you wish but that is pretty well documented that many women don't feel comfortable saying that something bothers them when they do okay if I could continue but yeah thank you for those the as I say this was at the time when the majority of this board with three was three women out of five in the mid-1800s one of the robins sisters was elected to the Arlington school committee well before women even had the right to vote and by way of saying we have a proud tradition in Arlington of contributions by women but I'll shut up from there because I'm a select man I mean I think it's reasonable for us to maybe just consider discussing in the context of our goal setting and whether there's any further I'm uncharacteristically for me totally blanking on I accept Mr. Grilly that we discussed it but it might be the past couple weeks that I have but I I think if Mr. Curie has a very good suggestion that will initially discuss it at a goal setting meeting and then from there discuss the appropriate venue to address it at a future meeting or future forum or questionnaire or you know I don't want to speak for my colleagues because we haven't had the meeting yet so right so I also understand that even if there's unanimous support here that doesn't mean it would go through town meeting easily I understand that it would require work okay thank you yes can we ask that of Doug there are there are 19 precedents already you know what I gave you so much I'm gonna ask you to sit down now not to be disrespectful just that I don't want to set a precedence for other correspondents received I've already kind of bent it already anyone from the side did I see a hand or no if I may Madam Chair just one of the things that I can do is it's actually a slightly different situation in every community so I would presume that it would be something that would have to go to town meeting and require special legislation but in order to be confident of that I'd actually have to do a fairly thorough review of previous changes to the Town Manager Act and probably some things before that because at least in fairly certain I'm not sure about the Southwick but at least in one or two other circumstances it turned out that the board had more discretion without going to town meeting so I'll make sure to try to vet that as early as I can so this board can be apprised of all its options as long as the town manager is not trying to you know create any cumbersome tasks okay on a motion by Mr. Dunn seconded by Mr. Byrne Mr. Byrne recommending that the speed table requests be referred to itaq the name change regarding the board of Mr. Lachman that's where my brain is the only other question I would have either to the town manager or to our vice chairman Mr. Dunn the letter from superintendent Boquelen murdered that name is there anything that we should or could do or we just received that letter and let him carry that Ballywech yes okay if the board wishes to hear more about me and I can tell you whenever you'd like to hear but there's nothing in specific we need to do for them I would just ask just very briefly if there's any next step regarding Minuteman so anything yep so this morning Adam and I were in Lexington talking to Belmont and a few other people and we we certainly didn't solve anything we did have a productive meeting and we have invited the other six full 16 towns here on June 20th which is of course the Monday after our debt exclusion vote and that will be a good time for us to you know it'll be like one more fact will have been settled whether you know whether or not Arlington is going to support it and we are going to keep this cut there's a path which is I'm hoping that the more we educate Belmont about the alternatives and how in my opinion dismal they are that they will follow a path similar to Arlington around so what I'm trying to do is I want to put more I've just described as I want to put more time on the clock because I think with more time on the clock we can persuade Belmont if we even if we fail at persuading Belmont we still have to figure out what to do next and so that's what that meeting is about like the kind of dual purpose both talking about what's next and using what's next to persuade them okay so motion by Mr. Dunn seconded by Mr. Byrne referral to tech when I say I check all those in favor say aye I was both before I accept a motion to adjourn I just want to say our next schedule meeting for the board of select department on June 6th 2016 I have asked the town manager and Attorney Heim we will be having two hearings unless something happens that night that night regarding alcohol alleged alcohol violations I have asked Mr. Chapter Lane and Attorney Heim on one of the hearings that we'll have to provide some sort of targeted information and guidance and perhaps legal ruling or advice in terms of what may or will be presented to us so I just want to let the rest of my colleagues on the board who are already aware of that just look for whatever is in our novice agenda and or comes sooner than that in an email am I paraphrasing that appropriately yeah I think that's very fair with that I'll take a motion to adjourn by do you want to do new business I would love to okay Mrs. Cropelka new business Sunday and Monday Attorney Heim just one quick matter I just want to publicly thank the staff of the legal department including my colleague Mr. Marlenga Patricia yours to enjoy and Kennedy and Peter Buckley for their terrific work and helping the legal department get prepared for town meeting what's been a busy season so thanks to all of them Mr. Chapter Lane so if the if the board would indulge me I received an email from Arlington Cooperative Elder Services asking if we could acknowledge and I think the board will be asked to acknowledge via a proclamation the hundredth birthday of an Arlington resident so Joseph Cam Cormier turned a hundred just this past Sunday so just yesterday he was born on May 22nd 1916 in Fitchburg Mass he was the first lieutenant in the army and fought in World War two he returned to Arlington Mass where he married his beloved wife Rosaline of nearly 68 years together they raised two beautiful daughters Susan and Diane Cam has one grandchild and he continues to reside reside in Arlington Cam likes to be busy often heard saying what should I do next he loves to do word games and puzzles Cam attends Cooperative Elder Services in Arlington where he has many friends so happy happy hundredth birthday to Cam and just wanted to give him sort of this public shout out thank you happy birthday Cam Mr. Graham happy birthday Mr. Cormier and I want to thank Marie and Adam and our chair for all of the work you all did to help us in terms of getting through this past town meeting it's quite a bit of work and always well done that's it yesterday I actually attended a great breakfast with some students from Arlington Catholic in their family one was a Nicky Daugherty who is of course my fiancee's little sister and then Lou Daugherty who there is no relation but they did grow up and went to St. Agnes and now Arlington Catholic together but I just want to recognize them as winning the Central Catholic League Sportsmanship Award so both for their their standouts on you know in both their athletic and academic pursuits so congratulations to them and I'm it's nice to it was a really nice breakfast to attend Maron into a great fan anything else that's it Mr. Carol I just want to congratulate actually the Rockin Robbins the Robbins Library book cart drill team which came in second place in the Mass Library Association's book cart drill team competition and their YouTube video is available online and it is hilarious but I can't get the song out of my head the what is the Bruno Mars songs three items but I'll be brief in order of importance first off June 14th is a big vote we are going to be voting on three different debt exclusions and I am happy to say that I'm supporting as you all know yes on all three and if you want to learn more go to build Arlington's future.org once again build Arlington's future.org which has a lot of information particularly I recommend the FAQ I got a note from a colleague today at work who said this was particularly well-written I was like I'd agree with you and I didn't do it so and I think there are a lot of people who are working on that site in that campaign and I encourage people to learn about them and then get out on vote on June 14th in declining importance from there I'm working on I've got at least one constituent who's very excited about modifying the block party approval process in specific to lower it from a hundred percent assent to a hundred percent notification with something like eighty percent agreement and so I'm going to ask the chair to put that on a future agenda please and last but certainly not least as the final meeting before Memorial Day I hope that the chair will soon announce that few that the summer meetings are indeed thank you that's all I got thank you and thank you for bringing up about the June 14th vote myself with the chair of the school committee Jennifer Seuss as well as Steve Dacorsi who serves on the finance committee but finance committee is a political body co-chairing that I would ask everyone who watches this select committee live or a replay there are going to be many forums mr. Dunn cited build Ellington's future website the Facebook page tomorrow night here at the high school there'll be forum regarding discussion around middle school what the middle school should and could look like in the future I know Steve Liggett and others are working on with John Griffin from Allington housing authority to getting into our senior housing complexes to explain what the June 14th vote is and what its impacts not only will be but also sort of what some of the relief could be because everybody working on this debt exclusion which is a phase one similar to what is being done in Lexington we anticipate a phase two after hopefully a successful June 14th vote with the two million dollar plans for Allington high school being approved three to five years out we'll actually have to go back to the voters in terms of building rebuilding or renovating Allington high school I would encourage everybody to really look at all the information that's out there I do want to thank the town manager and the assistant town manager deputy town manager sandy pooler who has provided every member of the board of selectmen here today I hope I'm paraphrasing this correctly or the request came from the senior center regarding some information about the debt exclusion what it entailed what do you want to am I gonna yeah so there has been that's accurate a lot of questions coming from attendees at the senior center so at the suggestion of the COA director and director of health and human services we're going to put together a one-page informational insert just laying out what the questions actually are asking for and what the tax impacts would be to put into the senior newsletter and then we'll also put together an informational session where I'll make myself the superintendent and try to get somebody for a minute man available to answer any questions that residents might have and I'll leave it to the town manager whether at the June 6th meeting whether it's an agenda item or perhaps something under new business where I know there's been some preliminary figures that you have presented in that one-page summary one-page graph regarding what the tax impact would be to the average homeowner I don't want to say from my memory right now because my brain hasn't been working too well but maybe that's something we can announce on June 6th unless you want to say it tonight I mean I have I know you provided I believe a preliminary draft quarterly figure as well as a yearly figure for the average homeowner so if you want to say tonight or do you want to wait maybe the impact that has been provided by the town manager's office for the average single family tax bill is $245 a year for all three questions combined that's all three which myself and my colleagues will be voting for all three if there is anything else if not I'll take a motion to adjourn by Mr. Burn seconded by Mr. Kierrow all those in favor say aye I will oppose unanimous vote see you on June 6th
