Joint Meeting with Planning Board (Agenda Item #3103) COMMENTS - Current Meeting:

The Board welcomed Planning Board members Steve Rafsky, Jack Wiggin and Chris Pfaff and newly appointed Town Planner Abby McCabe. Also present was Nora Loughnane for the discussion.

Glacier and Everett Drive Properties:

The Glacier-Everett Area is an approximately 50-acre land area made up of several light industrial and converted warehouse facilities, some of which have been used for offices and retail establishments. This area is part of the Highway Business district. It was included within the FMUOD overlay district a few years ago to encourage mixed use development including housing.

The area is traversed by Purgatory Brook and prone to significant flooding. The town has spent years trying to encourage redevelopment of this area that is acceptable to residents of Willard Circle and St. Dennis Drive. Over the years several redevelopment proposals have been approved resulting in the development of the Prime Mercedes dealership and the Progressive Insurance facility. With the recent approval of the three Prime dealerships (Acura, Audi and Porsche) along Providence Hwy, most of this area will now be occupied by automobile uses, including a significant portion of the Carruth property which has been leased to Prime Motor Group for vehicle storage. Frugal Fannies will soon be the only remaining large retail use. Properties along Wilson Way are only partially occupied with office and light manufacturing uses, and the former Foster Brick site is now being actively marketed for sale and

redevelopment.

Steve Rafsky discussed with the Boards that the Town should really begin the discussions related to the redevelopment of this area and with the history and experience of University Station behind everyone, this was a great time to consider and discuss what to do with this area. Steve reported that Prime Motor Group was a gateway for the Town boards to really assess what the community needs are, whether a new train stop, Senior Residential Development, community area, etc.

Nora Loughnane reported that the Prime Motor three dealerships that are proposing the

redevelopment along Route 1 came in and really understood the needs of the community and has been very open with input from residents, especially related to the water issues in the

neighborhood. Nora also reported that the developers increased the landscaping and created a gateway entrance into the Glacier Avenue area.

(6)

Joseph Previtera of 16 Dean Street commented that the Green Report for the Prime Motor Group was extremely helpful from a conservation perspective, stating that prime went above and

beyond DEP regulations for the property and thanked the Planning Board for getting that.

Joe also added that he wanted to comment that if during the conversations about what the Town would like to see in that developed area to really not consider moving the train station stop because a lot of people moved to the area with the ability to walk.

Associate Member:

The town’s new charter allows for the appointment of up to two associate members to serve on elected boards and commissions, including the Planning Board, Library Trustees, Board of Assessors, School Committee, and Sewer Commission. These associate members can be

designated by the Chairman to sit on the board in the case of absence, inability to act, or conflict of interest on the part of any elected member of the board, or in the event of a vacancy.

Associate members must be appointed to 3-year terms by a majority vote of the attending members of the board or committee and the Board of Selectmen. At a recent meeting a member of the Board asked if the term of an appointed associate member could be for less than three years. The response is that the language is not clear as it says that “the associate members shall be appointed for 3-year rotating terms”, which is only possible if the two members are not

appointed at the same time.

P. Ahearn asked that the Planning Board and Board of Selectmen schedule a meeting in May to review applications and make the associate membership appointments.

N. Hyde moved to post for two Associate Membership open positions on the Planning Board and that applications should be sent to the Selectmen’s Office for review and distribution to the Board of Selectmen and Planning Board for consideration. M. Walsh Seconded. Unanimous Vote: 3-0

AYES: Patrick J. Ahearn, Michael F. Walsh, Nancy C. Hyde Request to Purchase new Voting Equipment (Agenda Item #3105) COMMENTS - Current Meeting:

Dottie Powers the Town Clerk reports that the current voting equipment purchased in 2001 and used in the voting of all four precincts of Westwood has become outdated and more expensive to maintain. A new voting system, the Image Cast Precinct Tabulator, was approved by the

Secretary of the Commonwealth William F. Galvin. The Town Clerk cites that the advantages of purchasing the new equipment are:

 It uses the latest optive scan technology.

(10)

 It comes with a two year warranty.

 The memory cards are 70 percent the cost of the current cards.  It is a proven system worldwide.

 It has a fast processing time.

 It is designed to maximize accuracy and prevent fraud.

The Town Clerk highly recommends that the Board of Selectmen approves this upgrade in order for the Town of Westwood to stay current in the election field. Costs of the systems are $35,000 which is reduced by $2,500 by trading in the existing system. The funding will come from the states poll receipts.

M. Walsh asked if the Town Clerk would be able to add an additional machine, should the population require a precinct addition in Westwood? M. Jaillet responded that if that were to happen, the Town would have to go through an extensive process to add a fifth precinct and therefore, would give Dottie enough time to purchase an additional machine, should it be necessary.

N. Hyde moved to approve and sign a motion that read as follows:

On this On this 29th day of April 2015 the Westwood Board of Selectmen have voted by a

majority vote as required by MGL Chapter 54 Section 34, to begin using new optical scanning vote tabulators, the Image Cast Precinct Tabulator (ICP), at all four the towns precincts, for all future elections beginning with the Presidential primary on Tuesday March 1, 2016, therefore discontinuing the use of the current Vote Tabulators, Accu Vote.

Use of COA Van (Agenda Item #2575) COMMENTS - Current Meeting:

P. Ahearn and M. Walsh both stated that they each had completed and filed with the Conflict of Interest statement with the Town Clerk, stating they can act objectively on this issue.

Some months ago, the Selectmen’s office received an inquiry about how St. Margaret Mary’s Church has been allowed to use a COA Van on Sunday’s to transport elderly parishioners to church services from one of the Glens. At the Town Administrator’s direction, Lina, the new

(13)

Director for the COA was asked to look into the matter and determined how this practice came about and what should suggest be done, if anything?

Lina reports that volunteer drivers from the Church are provided with keys to drive elderly parishioners to St. Margret Mary’s Church from Highland Glen each Sunday. She has

determined that the practice was started when a requested was made of the COA and members of the parish were given a key to the van and allowed its use for this purpose. Pam has a

recollection that the Board had been consulted at the time, but we have not been able to locate any paperwork on it, so it would have been an informal discussion

Concerns about the practice are as follows:

 The drivers, who are volunteers from the church, have not been CORIed, trained, or had their driving records reviewed in order to verify they are suitable to volunteer to drive the van and transport others

 Limitations should be made on the town insurance policies related to such use, and an insurance policy rider on St. Margret Mary’s policy naming the town as covered should be provided which eliminate any liability for the Town.

M. Jaillet reported that he had a conversation with Father Linahan St. Margaret Mary’s Church will be adding the Town of Westwood to its insurance coverage. The drivers would be CORI’ed and a copy of a release of liability be given to the passengers.

P. Ahearn expressed that he believed the use of the van to get passengers to and from their places of worship was a great idea and that the Town should consider any requests for this service.

N. Hyde asked that the Town consider a procedure for checking in on the driver’s and making sure that the church and the Town have appropriately filed any and all liability coverage.

M. Walsh moved to allow St. Margaret Mary’s Church to use the Council on Aging Van to transport passengers to church services provided the Town is added to St. Margaret Mary’s Insurance policy and all drivers are CORI’ed. N. Hyde Seconded. Unanimous Vote: 3-0

AYES: Patrick J. Ahearn, Michael F. Walsh, Nancy C. Hyde Response to Open Meeting Issues (Agenda Item #3108)

On March 17th Patrick Higgins, a Chicopee resident, filed an Open Meeting Law complaint with the Office of the Attorney General stating that the Westwood Board of Selectmen voted to enter into executive session to discuss “potential of litigation” which was not reflected on the agenda. The board will recall that on March 9th it entered into executive session to discuss the Attorney General’s decision to deny the Street Access Bylaw which had been adopted at Fall Town Meeting requiring a commercial use in an abutting town to receive a special permit to access a residential street in Westwood.

In order to respond to the complaint Town Counsel will need a vote of the Board of Selectmen authorizing him to do so. Tom has identified an instance where the Town Counsel filled a response to a similar complaint on behalf of the Board of Selectmen in another community was criticized by the Attorney General’s Office for not being authorized respond on its behalf in advance.
