Denaro _________________________

VOTED to dispense with the reading of the previous meeting’s Journal and to APPROVE, all in favor, 9-0.

_________________________

Motion made and 2^nd to suspend the rules for the purposes of taking the Order relative to the library expansion grant from the Committee on Liaison and to hear from His Honor the Mayor Scott Galvin on the matter, all in favor, 9-0. Mayor Galvin stated that the $24,000,000.00 library renovation and expansion proposal is too expensive that the building does need to be upgraded, that he supports the city accepting the 2008 grant in the amount o $4,700,000.00 based on the 38,000 square foot proposal, that the cost of the project should not exceed $15,000,000.00, that the project will be funded with a $5,500,000.00 bond, $2,000,000.00 from Library Board of Trustees funds, $2,000,000.00 in historic tax credits and the grant, that this proposal will have minimal or no impact on the tax rate, that the project must have the support of the Library Board of Trustees, the Library Director, and the Library Commissioners to move forward, that he recommends renovation of the existing library building, that the City Council will have to approve the bond, and that the grant funds are still available. Alderman Mercer-Bruen stated that this is a good compromise, and that this proposal gets the city close to construction as the grant is already in place for acceptance. Alderman DiTucci stated that she understood the

2008 plan to be deficient. Alderman Galvin stated that Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners Director Robert Maier stated that the size of the 2008 plan can be reduced by 5%, that the cost of construction at $400.00 per square foot for a 38,000 square foot building is approximately $16,000,000.00, and that with $4,700,000.00 grant proposal there would not be a break into the building as there would be with the larger building. Alderman DiTucci stated that she is concerned with the additional staff that would be needed for the 2008 design and the legacy costs of those employees, that the Library Trustees are seeking a bond in the amount of $5,500,000.00 and then they will develop the library, and that the City Council must trust the judgment of those who run the library as to what is needed to operate the library. Mayor Galvin stated that all parties are working to the same end and should not be battling. Alderman Raymond stated that he wants to see a plan based on the $15,000,000.00 projected cost, that the application to the Library Commissioners is based on $11,000,000.00 in bonds, and that he is not willing to support a project that will cost the city $10,000,000.00. Mayor Galvin stated that the original grant was for a 21,000 square foot addition, that there were some deficiencies which may have led to the 38,000 square foot plan, and that the cooperation of the City Council and Mayor are needed as well. Alderman Mercer-Bruen stated that if the current grant is not accepted there is no guarantee that another grant will be awarded, that the smaller library project may not receive architectural awards but should be designed to meet the basic needs of the city. Alderman Gately stated that a

$15,000,000.00 project can be completed. Alderman Gaffney stated that he needs to be assured that the $5,500,000.00 contribution will be the only amount the city will have to contribute, that there should be a new library board to oversee the construction with greater input by and perhaps members of the City Council on the board as well as citizens participation. Alderman Anderson stated that the city will be signing grant agreement if the grant is accepted and will be responsible for the cost of the project. Alderman

DiTucci stated that the funds for the project will not be released by the Library Commissioners until the city’s portion of the project costs are in place, that the city will only contribute $5,500,000.00 for the project unless the city decides to contribute additional money, that she is not an expert on library needs but the trustees and the architect are, and that she questions what the city will do if the smaller library project requires the hiring of additional staff. Mayor Galvin stated that he will not permit hiring of additional staff at the library. Motion made and 2^nd that the matter be laid on the table until later in the meeting, ROLL CALL: Anderson – Yes, DiTucci – No, Drapeau – No, Gaffney – Yes, Gately – No, Haggerty – Yes, Mercer-Bruen – No, Raymond – Yes, Denaro – Yes, Motion Passes.

Subject: 299 Washington Street – Addition to a Pre-existing Non Conforming Structure Special Permit – Special Permit Application Dated April 14, 2011 – Plans Dated April 14, 2011

The applicant is seeking permission to allow for the construction of a 6,959 S.F. addition at the above referenced location. The accompanying site plan shows the location of the proposed addition as well as the proposed drainage improvements and relocated parking spaces.

The additional roof runoff will be mitigated through an underground infiltration system. The submitted drainage computations for the underground infiltration system to mitigate the roof runoff for the 2, 10, 25 and 100 year storm events. These calculations demonstrate that the chambers will be able to handle the runoff from the roof for the designed storm events.

The applicant engineer should look at the site drainage and see what improvements can be made to meet stormwater management requirements.

Re: Minor Modification of Landowner’s Decision and Notice of Special Permit issued to Anthony J. Triglione

Dear Mr. Campbell:

Please be advised that this office represents Anthony J. Triglione. On February 10, 2011 the City Clerk’s Office issued a Special Permit to Anthony J. Triglione, Landowner and Boston Billiards Supply Inc., Petitioner (copy enclosed). The permit was sought as condition precedent to the purchase of the real property located at 102-104 Main Street, at the corner of Ash Street. However, due to unforeseen financial issues, the Petitioner was unable to complete the purchase of the building and is no longer involved with same.

My client is the owner of the building and also is the Founder and President of Mission of

Deeds, Inc. located in Reading, Massachusetts. As you may be aware, Mission of Deeds, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization providing home furnishings and house wares, free of charge, to people in need. After much contemplation and reflection, my client is respectfully requesting that a Minor Modification be made to said Special permit to allow his property to be used as a storage and distribution center for home furnishings and house wares to further expand the good works of Mission of Deeds, Inc. in the community, as opposed to the retail sale of billiard tables and related accessories. It should be noted that the intended hours of operation of Mission of Deeds, Inc. at this location, will be far less than those set forth in Condition Number 6 of the Special Permit as granted. Initially, this location may only be open to the clients of Mission of Deeds, Inc. 2 to 4 days per month.

Therefore, we request that all reference to “billiard table sales and service retail facility” in the Decision be modified to “storage and distribution center for home furnishings and house wares.”

So that my client may move forward as quickly as possible with his plans, I respectfully request that action be taken on this request for a Minor Modification at the upcoming City Council Meeting scheduled for June 7, 2011.

Thank you for your kind attention to this matter, and please do not hesitate to contact me personally should you have any questions or concerns.

Very truly yours, s/Robert W. Tedesco, Esq.

Motion made and 2^nd that the MINOR MODIFICATION NOT be ALLOWED AND THE PETITIONER BE NOTIFIED TO FILE A FULL SPECIAL PERMIT PETITION, all in favor, 9-0.

Motion made and 2^nd to take from the table the Order relative to the library expansion grant and to hear from His Honor the Mayor and the Board of Library Trustees on the matter, all in favor, 9-0. Appearing was Janet Rabbitt, President of the Library Board of Trustees and she stated that at the City Council meeting in May 2011 the City Council indicated that $5,500,000.00 was the maximum contribution that the city would make for the library project and that the tax burden would not increase, that an Historic Tax Credit could be obtained with a value of between $3,000,000.00 and $4,500,000.00, that the Board used a tax credit of $3,500,000.00 as an estimate for their calculations, that the Historic Tax Credit was created in 1976, that the owner of the building receives a 20% tax credit for historical renovations, that there is also an emphasis on energy efficient renovations, that the building must be listed as a historic structure on the National Historic Register, that the work must preserve the historic nature of the building, that there was a shortfall of funding of $3,179,376.00 before the project was downsized, that the funding can be accomplished by reducing the size of the building and using cheaper materials without compromising the building, that the Trustees will begin an aggressive fundraising campaign, and that the Trustees did not hear about the proposal of the Mayor until this meeting. President Rabbitt offered a document entitled “Trust Funds,

Fundraising, City Funds and Grants for Addition/Renovation Project” to the City Council for review. Motion made and 2^nd that the document be received and made part of the record, all in favor, 9-0. President Denaro stated that the library grant was awarded in 2008. President Rabbitt stated that in 2008 the City Engineer projected the cost of the library project at $20,000,000.00 in a T.A.R.P. funding proposal for shovel-ready projects, that there were a number of deficiencies with the project but the grant was approved because of the dire need for improvements in Woburn’s library, that the final date to accept the grant is June 16, 2011, and that all funding has to be in place before the grant money will be paid to the city. Alderman DiTucci stated that the city cannot accept the grant until all of the funds for the project are available. Mayor Galvin stated that the Administration’s proposal includes a smaller Historic Tax Credit estimate, that the plan is tied to a 38,000 square foot design project but the design can be changed and the square footage reduced 5% below the 38,000 square feet, that the $5,500,000.00 is being pledged to the 38,000 square foot plan, and that if the money is not available the project will not move forward. Alderman DiTucci stated that she was not aware that the $5,500,000.00 was only for the 38,000 square foot project. Mayor Galvin stated that he has always been clear that the $24,000,000.00 project is too big, that he will permit spending for $15,000,000.00 for the library, that the city received a $4,700,000.00 grant for a 38,000 square foot project, and it is the 38,000 square foot which is the target of the grant. President Rabbitt stated that under the CBT plan $8,000,000.00 to $10,000,000.00 of the cost is for renovation of the existing building. Mayor Galvin stated that the design of the library will have to be worked out. President Rabbitt stated that it was not certain how a new plan and all the research that is necessary could be completed with the short time frame. Alderman Raymond stated that he will not commit the city to $10,000,000.00 in bond money. Alderman Mercer-Bruen stated that she was surprised that the Trustees are not happy with the Mayor’s proposal, that the alternative proposal of the Trustees is based on estimates, and that there is no certainty that there will be another grant. President Rabbitt stated that there is no certainty in the Mayor’s proposal because there is no plan for a $15,000,000.00 addition. President Denaro stepped down from the chair and Alderman Mercer-Bruen assumed the chair. Alderman DiTucci stated that the City Council told the Trustees to come up with a new plan and the Trustees have done so, and that the City Council has not been given any information to assess the Mayor’s proposal. Alderman Drapeau stated that he was not aware of the Mayor’s proposal, that the library does need to be renovated, that he is not certain what the $15,000,000.00 will pay for, that he will support the new plan with a cap on the city’s investment of $5,500,000.00, and that if in three years the project cannot be funded then the project can go away. Mayor Galvin stated that the city will fund $5,500,000.00 for a $15,000,000.00 project “period”, that the $24,000,000.00 project is too much, and that the project can be completed for a lower number. Alderman Haggerty stated that he has concerns with the scope and size of the project, that he will support the $5,500,000.00 investment, that this is an appropriate and fair amount, that these are difficult economic times, that the $15,000,000.00 plan is completely hypothetical and he cannot support that plan, that the City Council can approve the authorization for the grant application with the proviso that the city will only fund $5,500,000.00, and that he wants the Order to read “subject to bond approval not to exceed $5,500,000.00 by the City Council.” President Denaro stated that he had conversations with the Mayor but not with the Trustees, that the was no communication between the Trustees and him since the May 2011 City Council meeting until he received a call from President Rabbitt last Friday but he has had many conversations with the Mayor during this time, that the $15,000,000.00 plan is on file with the City Council and was received from the Trustees and approved by the MBLC, that a grant was awarded based on that plan, that the project was designed without enough input from the city side of government, and that if the City Council feels rushed in this matter then the city can walk away from the deal. President Rabbitt stated that the Trustees are willing to state that they will seek only $5,500,000.00 from the city regardless of the size of the project. Mayor Galvin stated that to accept the $5,500,000.00 he would have to bond the entire $15,000,000.00 of the project although the city will only pay $5,500,000.00 and the remainder would be paid by other sources, and that if the City Council accepts the grant and the Mayor approves as well then the MBLC will send out a contract in September. Alderman DiTucci stated that it does not make sense not to apply for the $24,000,000.00 grant rather than build a $15,000,000.00 building that was already determined to be deficient if in either case the city will only pay $5,500,000.00, and that there were three city employees on the library construction committee when established by Mayor McLaughlin. John Corey, City Engineer stated that he was a member of the Library Building Committee for the last two years, that the Committee never voted on anything but received presentations, that the costs of the project were reduced by $3,000,000.00 in one meeting, that with compromises, which do not seem to exist, the cost can be reduced further, that approximately $3,500,000.00 is the most that can be pared from the new plan, and that a $15,000,000.00 project is possible with compromise. Motion made and 2^nd to amend the Order to add the words “subject to bond approval not to exceed $5,500,000.00 by the City Council” in the first paragraph after the words “City of Woburn” and before the words “approves the proposed renovation”, ROLL CALL: Anderson – Yes, DiTucci – Yes, Drapeau – Yes, Gaffney – Yes, Gately – No, Haggerty – Yes, Mercer-Bruen – No, Raymond – No, Denaro – No, Motion Passes. Motion made and 2^nd that the ORDER be ADOPTED, AS AMENDED, ROLL CALL: Anderson – No,

DiTucci – Yes, Drapeau – Yes, Gaffney – Yes, Gately – No, Haggerty – Yes, MercerBruen – No, Raymond – No, Denaro – No, Motion Fails. President Denaro stated that the Trustees can use the remaining day to meet with city officials.
