It is almost 6 months since my initial inquiry about this issue, and my attorney is eager to get this resolved since it relates to the disposition of my late wife’s estate. Is there any way to expedite this? Thank you, Ken Stampfer

Re: Parcel ID 94 1 223
To whom it may concern:
Through a series of transfers from estate to estate, I find myself in possession of this small undeveloped parcel of land, on which my late wife and I paid taxes for about 20 years. With the patient help of Heather in the Assessor’s Office, I attempted to locate and inspect the land today but was unsuccessful. Either the map is incorrect, or the land is no longer accessible via any passable road. I noticed that several of the streets in the area are not signed. All things considered, I would like to find some legal way of abandoning the property or donating it to the town. I cannot conceive of any desire of my own or my heirs to make use of the land, and I doubt that the abutter would have any interest in acquiring it. Is there a mechanism in place that would allow me to do this?
Sincerely,
5.1.a

Sorry – I didn’t add this to my report – do you want to add this under old business? Carol A. McLeod Finance Director Town of Merrimac 4 School St. Merrimac, MA 01860 (978) 346-0524
From: Shirin Everett [mailto:SEverett@k-plaw.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 5, 2019 5:17 PM To: Carol McLeod - Finance <cmcleod@townofmerrimac.com> Cc: Michele Randazzo <MRandazzo@k-plaw.com> Subject: MERR: Donation of Land Hi Carol, I am following up on your email about Kenneth Stampfer’s request to donate land to the Town. If the Town is interested in accepting this land, please note the following:
1. Town Meeting Authorization: A Town Meeting may be required depending on the purpose for which the Town wants to use the property. If the Town is interested in using the property for general municipal purposes, Town Meeting must vote to authorize the acceptance. Town Meeting authorization is not necessary if the Town is acquiring the property for certain specific purposes, such as land to be held for conservation purposes and water supply protection purposes. Please let me know the Town’s purpose; I can prepare a warrant article if necessary.
2. Taxes: Mr. Stampfer should be informed that he must pay all real estate taxes on
the property through the date on which the executed deed is delivered to the Town, as required by G.L. c. 59, § 72A.
3. Inspection: As with any real property acquisition, the Town should satisfy itself
that the property is not contaminated with hazardous waste or hazardous materials. Therefore, before the Town accepts the property, I recommend that someone walk through the property in order to inspect for the presence of hazardous materials. A walk-through may suffice, but if the property has been used for purposes that suggest contamination might be present, or if the walk-through shows past dumping activity, a site assessment should be obtained.
4. Title Research: Typically we recommend that the Town inspect the title to the
property before acquiring it, but, if the property passed through a number of probates, it may take considerable effort to find the probates and make sure that the
5.2.a
Town is acquiring the property from the correct parties. Alternatively, we can ask Mr. Stampfer for whatever probate information he has for John F. Connor, Helen F. Connor, and Raymond Connor, his predecessors in title, and we can cobble together an affidavit that links the original deed to Mr. Stampfer.
5. Deed: An email does not suffice to transfer title. A deed should be prepared,
conveying the property to the Town. If you would like me to prepare one, please let me know. I will also prepare an Acceptance of Deed to be signed by whichever board accepts the property.
In summary, please let me know the purpose for which the property is to be acquired and if you would like me to prepare the deed. Please request Mr. Stampfer for the probate information (specifically, the county and case number). Please let me know if you have any questions. Shirin Shirin Everett, Esq.

MBTA 2019 Fare Proposal Public Meeting 2/27/19 Boston
6.2
MBTA Fare Proposal Public Hearing
Event Description MBTA riders are invited to comment on a proposed fare increase which the Fiscal and Management Control Board is scheduled to consider in March following the month-long public comment period in February. Under the draft proposal, fares would increase an average of 6.3 percent with bus fares increasing by $0.10, subway fares by $0.15, a monthly LinkPass by $5.50 and a weekly LinkPass by $1.25. The proposed rates are below the statutorily- authorized 7 percent rate the MBTA is allowed to assess once every two years. Revenues from the rate increase will enable the MBTA to keep pace with inflation and support customer service enhancements being rolled out as a part of the authority’s comprehensive $8 billion modernization and improvement plan. If approved, the new fare schedule would take effect July 1, 2019.
Written comments about the MBTA Fare Proposal will be accepted through Thursday, February 28, 2019. They can be mailed to:
MBTA 10 Park Plaza Boston, MA 02116 Attention: Fare Proposal Committee
Comments can also be submitted using the MBTA website, by e-mail at fares@mbta.com, or by phone at (617) 222-3200, TTY (617) 222-5146.

Section VI. DEFINITIONS
The budget for construction and operation of the District’s Schools including payments of principal and interest on bonds and other evidence of indebtedness issued by the District shall be apportioned to the member towns subject to the following definitions:
A. Budget
As defined by this document, the budget is the amount of dollars voted by the Regional District School Committee to finance the District schools to be paid from the general revenues of the Regional School District. The budget shall be comprised of two parts: operating costs and debt service, each as herein defined.
7.1.d
4
1. DEBT SERVICE and CAPITAL COSTS include all costs that are used for payment of principal and interest on bonds or other obligations issued by the District. Capital projects shall be defined as costing not less than $10,000 and having a depreciable life of not less than 5 years.
2. OPERATING COSTS include all costs not included in Debt Service and

Section VII. METHOD OF ASSESSING COSTS OF THE REGIONAL SCHOOL
DISTRICT
A. All operating costs shall be assessed to the three towns on the basis of M.G.L. Chapter 71, Section 16B.
1. The district assessment will be calculated and reported to the member towns
by using the two – step method. The District shall list all general fund revenues, including but not limited to Chapter 70 and Transportation Aid, and reduce the member assessment as it relates to the approved operating budget by said amount. The remaining member assessments shall be calculated by charging each member Town its net minimum spending amount as approved by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for the Fiscal Year being assessed. Should the requested member assessments exceed the net minimum spending required then the remaining amount shall be charged to each member Town based upon its percentage of the entire District enrollment calculated to 4 decimal places as of October 1 of the prior Fiscal Year for grades K to 12, including out of District placements, as reported to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education on the statewide pupil census. All Debt Service and Capital Costs not associated directly to one member community’s Elementary School(s) shall be allocated and assessed annually using the calculation stated above for any amount over the net minimum spending requirement.
2. Should all member Towns agree on an alternative method of assessment the District shall be notified in writing by each member community’s Board of Selectmen Chair on the agreed procedure on or before March 1 of the year prior to the Fiscal year budget start date. If the per pupil method of assessment is chosen then the calculation shall be the same as the amount over net minimum spending stated in Part 1 of this section.
B. Debt Service, incurred by the District for an elementary school building of a
member town, less applicable Chapter 70B MSBA aid, shall be assessed to the member town in which the elementary school is located.
C. The payment of the assessed share of operating costs and debt service by each member town, as computed by the Regional District School Committee according
7.1.d
5
to the methods specified in Sections VI, and VII, shall be made by each member town’s Treasurer by check payable to the Regional School District in twelve equal installments by the fifteenth of each month.
Section VIII. RESPONSIBILITY FOR ADDITIONS, MAJOR REPLACEMENTS
AND MAINTENANCE OF SECONDARY AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
A. The District shall develop a 5 year capital plan for each building that will be
provided to each member town by January 15th. This plan shall include; item descriptions, estimated costs, and the projected depreciable life. Capital projects shall be defined as costing not less than $10,000 and having a depreciable life of not less than 5 years. Capital projects shall be scheduled and approved by the member Town. Emergency repair procedures shall be defined by the member Town lease agreement. In addition, the District shall provide the member towns with a maintenance plan for each of its buildings. The District shall include a line item in its budget to fully fund this plan. A year end maintenance report shall be provided to the member towns identifying the cost of all maintenance performed.
B. Each member town shall be responsible for payment of costs associated with the construction of new buildings, renovations, or making extraordinary repairs to the elementary school building/s located in that member town so long as they meet the requirements of a capital project as described in VIII A.
C. The costs of on-going maintenance for those items not included in paragraph VIII B. for the elementary schools and all costs for the secondary schools shall be borne by the Regional School District.
Section IX. ADMISSION OF ADDITIONAL TOWNS
By an amendment of this agreement adopted by each member town in accordance with Section XIV and complying with the provision therein contained, any other town or towns may be admitted to the Regional School District upon adoption as herein provided of such amendment and upon acceptance of the agreement as so amended, and also upon compliance with the provision of law as may be applicable and such terms as may be set forth in such amendment. A new member may be admitted to the Regional School District as of July 1 of any fiscal year, provided that all requisite approvals for such admission, including the Commissioner’s approval, shall be obtained no later than the preceding December 31. The authorizing votes may provide for the deferral of said admission until July 1 of a subsequent fiscal year.
7.1.d
SCHOOL DISTRICT
A. Any town withdrawing from the District must first pay all its share of total debt and current operating expenses. All withdrawals are subject to the approval of the Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education and must be approved by two thirds of the member Towns.
Any member town may withdraw from the regional school district in total or at the elementary level if accepted by a majority vote of the voters present and voting on the question at its Annual Town meeting called for the purpose, such withdrawal to become effective on June 30th of the year named in the question, provided: (1) that in pursuance of such vote, the withdrawing town gives the regional school district at least one years written notice of its intention to withdraw, (2) that the said town has paid over to the District any costs which have been certified by the District Treasurer to the Treasurer of the withdrawing town.
Section XI. ANNUAL REPORT
A. The Regional District School Committee shall submit to each member town an annual report containing a detailed financial statement and a statement showing methods by which the annual charges assessed against each town were computed, together with such additional information relating to the operation and maintenance of the secondary schools and each elementary school as may be deemed necessary by the Regional District Committee or by the Selectmen and/or the Finance Committee of any member town. This report shall contain a detailed listing of salaries by individual employee.
Section XII. BUDGET
A. There shall be a Regional Finance Advisory Committee, comprised of the following: one Selectmen from each member town annually appointed by each member town Board of Selectmen; the Finance Director, or person holding such position by whichever title it may be known, from each member town; the Regional District School Committee Chair, or his/her designee; and the District Superintendent and/or Business Manager.

The chairmanship of the Advisory Committee shall rotate annually among the members from each of the towns. The Committee shall prepare reports to be read into the School Committee minutes.
B. The Regional District School Committee shall prepare a budget on a fiscal year basis for the District in the following manner:
7.1.d
7
1. The budget process shall be initiated annually in December and shall
provide an opportunity for the Selectmen and Finance Committee of each member town to have input into its preparation. The Regional District School Committee shall complete its proposed budget for the ensuing year, and said proposed budget shall be posted in the Town Hall of each member town, shall be provided to each member town’s public library, and shall be submitted to the Selectmen, Finance Directors and Finance Committee members of each member town.
2. The proposed budget shall contain a notice stating when and where a public hearing will be held. The public hearing shall be held in any District school building. The notice of the public hearing shall be posted in all three towns. Said hearing shall be held at least ten (10) days prior to final adoption of the proposed budget. Upon request of the Finance Committee and/or the Board of Selectmen of any member town, the Regional District School Committee shall arrange to meet with such Finance Committee and/or Board of Selectmen for the purpose of discussing the proposed budget. Said proposed budget shall be submitted in the template approved by the School Committee, itemized at least as follows: central administration; expenses of instruction; transportation; operation of school plant; maintenance of school plant; outlay, debt and interest charges; the last named to specify all items costing $1,000.00 or more. All non-recurring expenditures shall be itemized. Enrollment, staffing, total expenditures and assessments for the past five years shall be included. The Chair of any member Board of Selectmen or Finance Committee may request further information.
3. 45 days prior to the date of the earliest member Annual Town Meeting the Regional District School Committee shall adopt by a two-thirds vote of all its members a budget with such changes as may have resulted from conferences and an open hearing. This budget shall be presented in two parts as outlined in the attached template (Exhibit A). No later than 30 days from the date of the approval vote, but within 10 days if possible, the Treasurer of the District shall certify to the Treasurer of each member town its assessed share of such budget.
4. The budget and assessment shall be so constructed as to show debt
service, capital and operating costs. It shall also list all general fund revenue used to reduce member assessments as described in VII. A. This budget should also identify the costs of any programs not uniformly offered at all District elementary schools.
5. Budget approval will be in accordance with M.G.L. Chapter 71, Section
16B.
7.1.d
8
6. If, in the opinion of the Board of Selectmen and/or Finance Committee of any of the towns, the Regional School District budget will not fit the budgetary capabilities of their town, they can request of the Regional District School Committee a special meeting to discuss the budget.
This meeting shall be called within seven (7) days of the presentation of the budget to the member towns. The meeting shall be attended by six members of the Regional District School Committee (two members from each member town), as well as two representatives of the Board of Selectmen and two representatives of the Finance Committee from each member town. The purpose of this meeting will be to discuss the ability of the town or towns to meet the financial obligation brought forth by their assessment of the submitted Regional School District budget. The charge of this group will be to recommend to the Regional District School Committee a reduced budget that least affects the educational integrity of the District and meets the financial capabilities of the town(s).
7. If a member town fails to hold a meeting within forty-five (45) days from
the date on which an amended assessment was adopted by the Regional District School Committee, the member town shall be deemed to have voted affirmatively regardless of whether the town had previously approved an amount equal to or greater than the revised assessment. No action by the town constitutes approval.
Section XIII. INCURRING OF DEBT
A. The Regional District School Committee shall have authority to develop plans for District schools. According to Chapter 71, S.16d. the Regional District School Committee shall not incur any debt for the school until the expiration of sixty (60) days from the date said debt is authorized by the Regional District School Committee. Prior to the expiration of said period each member town will be notified of the intent to incur debt. Each member town which would bear a financial responsibility for the debt through the assessment of all or a portion of the principal and interest on such debt shall hold a Town Meeting for the purpose of expressing approval or disapproval of the amount of debt authorized by the Regional District School Committee by a majority of voters present and voting on the question. If the debt is disapproved by any member town, the debt shall not be incurred, and the Regional District School Committee shall then prepare an alternative proposal and a new or revised authorization to incur debt. The only exception to the restrictions in this paragraph shall be the incurring of debt in anticipation of revenues.
7.1.d
9
B. In the event that a member town should determine, prior to the issuance by the District of long term indebtedness to finance a Capital Cost, to make an upfront cash contribution to pay all of its allocable share of such Capital Cost, then the total borrowing authorized to pay costs of such Capital Cost shall be reduced by the amount of such upfront cash contribution. A member town’s share of Capital Costs for purposes of this section shall be determined in the same manner as used in determining the allocation of Capital Costs for the fiscal year in which the District’s borrowing for a particular Capital Cost is authorized.
When a member town has paid its entire share of such Capital Cost, then such member town shall not be assessed for any portion of Debt Service incurred by the District to finance the balance of such Capital Cost. Then, notwithstanding the provisions of Section VII(A) to the contrary, Debt Service on the amount to be borrowed shall be assessed upon the member town or towns that did not determine to make an upfront cash contribution on account of such Capital Cost, as if the District’s total enrollment consisted solely of the students from the noncontributing town or towns. Any upfront cash contribution on account of a Capital Cost shall be paid to the District prior to the issuance of long term bonds by the District to finance such capital cost.
Section XIV. AMENDMENTS
A. Amendments to the agreement must receive a majority vote of approval by each member town at a Town Meeting. Amendments may be initiated by the Regional District School Committee or by the Board of Selectmen of any one of the member towns.
B. No such amendment shall be made which shall substantially impair the rights of the holders of any of the District’s bonds or notes of the District then outstanding or the rights of the District to procure the means for payment thereof.
C. This agreement will shall be reviewed every three years by a group comprised of the Chief Financial Officer of each town (or person holding such position by whichever title it may be known), the PRSD Business Manager, and the PRSD Superintendent, the members of the Regional Finance Advisory Board, as described in Section XII. A who will jointly make recommendations for changes to the member Town’s Boards of Selectmen. Each town’s Chief Financial Officer shall participate on behalf of their respective Board of Selectmen, and shall be responsible to keep their Board apprised of communications and related meetings, and to provide their respective Board regular opportunities to initiate any potential amendments to this agreement or respond to any amendments as may be initiated by others. At any time the Towns may also appoint a task force to review the Regional Agreement. This task force will be made up of a member from each Town’s Board of Selectmen, the member town’s Finance Directors, the Chairman
7.1.d
10
of the School Committee, the Superintendent and a citizen from each member town.
D. All amendments are subject to the approval of the Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Section XV. SEVERABILITY OF SECTIONS According to Chapter 71.S.16I., in the event that any provision of this Regional School District Agreement shall be held invalid in any circumstance, such invalidity shall not affect any other provisions or circumstances.

Town of Merrimac
Summary
The Merrimac Public Library has an outdate and obsolete Honeywell system using a Lonworks communications protocol. Much of the functionality used for todays energy conscience strategies is not available in the current system and access to the system is limited. To upgrade a latest technology, all the existing control hardware and wiring will need to be removed and replaced. With this upgrade the town will have better control over their HVAC systems for temperature resets, start/stop optimization, and airflow reduction.
This proposal and scope of work has been broken down into 3 phases to give the town more budget flexibility. These phases will need to be done in order, but not necessarily at the same time.
Phase One
In phase one, the operator interface or “front-end” computer system will be replaced. All other downstream hardware can be left in place and integrated for now into the new system. This will give operators more access to the system with the capability to trend and monitor energy usage and ensure generic schedules are executing properly.
Phase Two
Phase two will consist of the replacement of the existing boiler controller with a new Bacnet controller. This controller will provide new programming and energy optimized sequences of operation for the boiler system. In addition, the two hot water pumps will be retrofitted with VFD drives, that can control the output of the motor slowing it down when less water is needed in the system.
Phase Three
The final phase will complete the system upgrade, it includes the remainder of the controllers downstream.
7.8.a
 
Mechanical Scope of Work PHASE ONE SCOPE: Phase 1 will include replacing the existing system interface with a new Niagara 4 Interface. All the existing field controllers will be integrated via the Lonworks protocol into the new supervisory controller. The new supervisory controller will also have BACnet capabilities. Supervisory Controller
Replace existing Honeywell LonStation with new Niagara 4 Interface New enclosure installation (there is not an existing controls enclosure for the network interface)
PHASE TWO SCOPE Phase 2 will include replacing the existing boiler controller and adding VFDs to the hot water pumps. Hot Water System
CNTRL 1 XL15A o Replace existing panel with a new BACnet MS/TP Control and Panel o Provide new program and sequence of operations o Reuse existing Input and Output devices where possible o Provide and Install (2) New 5HP 230VAC / 60 HZ VFD's o Run a new BACnet MS/TP Bus to the Supervisory Controller
PHASE THREE SCOPE Phase 3 will include replacing the remainder of the field controllers. This includes the 4 AHU's, the TAB's A&B and WPR 1&2. (4) AHU's
Replace existing Honeywell controllers with new BACnet MS/TP Controllers Replace sensors where necessary Replace actuators and devices where necessary Reuse existing wire and conduit where possible Run a new BACnet MS/TP Bu to the supervisory controller

Summary
The Town Hall air handling units are experiencing control issues. The units are constantly in full cooling or full heating causing the staff to have to control them manually. The cooling coils for these units are constantly freezing due to excess cooling. This creates constant mechanical and occupant comfort issues.
The new controls package included in this upgrade will give the user the ability to schedule units properly and control to temperatures appropriate for the units. Given the manual control of the units for heating and cooling it is difficult to calculate the savings that could be achieved from the upgrade. However, we can assume with proper temperature setpoints control a savings of 4% off total electrical usage, 3% on therm usage, and $760 a year on mechanical savings. Utilizing other more efficient operating sequences and schedules should provide another 5% savings for both electrical and therm usage.

From: Costigan, Laura [mailto:Laura.Costigan@pfizer.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2019 8:10 AM To: Carol McLeod - Finance <cmcleod@townofmerrimac.com> Cc: lcostigan21@gmail.com Subject: Legal question Hi Carol- This is what the playground committee would like to ask the town legal counsel:
- The BOS has made the decision to remove the playground equipment. If the playground equipment is removed, it voids warranties and will also cost more on the town with the cost of removal and reinstallation of the equipment. The playground committee wants to work with the AAB to continue the time variance process but we need to stop the town from removing the equipment. Are there any actions the playground committee can take to stop the town from removing the equipment? We know we can get a significant amount of signatures on a petition but we weren’t sure if a petition was the way to go.
Thanks for your help! Laura Costigan Playground Committee, vice chair
