5 Minute Recess
PUBLIC HEARING
PUBLIC COMMENT

Karin Chavis asks about Ferry and E. Boston opening their own....they are only charging $5
dollars...there has been discussion of doing away with the Ferry, would like an update on this.

There has been no discussion until tonight about a new public safety building? Has there been any
thought on this? Is this going back to engineering for review?

Asks about the cost of the new Vocational School....we do not have to vote yes, but if we don’t it will be
an automatic yes...it will go to ballot and has to be 50% of the communities

If it passes, the town will be in debt. For $261,842 30 years...

Jack Dowd —Bad call, could not hear

Vasili Malios-CBD Construction work has been fantastic and Somerset especially. Problem on Pleasant
St is no
signage and could the town look into the light up crosswalks to promote a safe walking travel to the
Center?

TOWN COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 5, 2021 PAGE1

Julia Wallerce-Calling about crosswalks and safety improvements in the center...please support towns
effort to take advantage of many grants available for our community....understands no such thing as free
money....cost of doing nothing , cost more than what a grant would be. Upsetting incidents on our
streets, low cost improvements can help. Don’t just focus on the heavy hitting projects...

Robert Carroll P6- Watched Interim CFO Cirillo budget report and was surprised and disappointed about
what was proposed for grant programs...it’s as if he states grants are bad? Town is already challenged
each year with our budget....town school has no band...due to no grant funding, it is really important to
support our schools.

The Ferry grant is an Enterprise fund and it has not received support from Tax Payers, funds from the
State, Quincy & Boston Seaport has balanced the books...tickets sales lower, but if using grant money, it
will not hit Winthrop taxes...not cost taxpayers anything....it keeps cars off the road...

Winthrop cannot afford to say no to free money....we do not have the tax base...

Urges Winthrop to keep on going after these grants...

COMMITTEE REPORTS
Councilor Letterie....discusses 4 items on agenda-

-Town Council appropriate $90,000 from the FB Reserve of Overlay Surplus Account to Assessors
Consulting Line-this will be voted with a Positive Recommendation

-Inspectional Services Fees is accepted

-Town Council appropriate $86,000 for the Dog Park/Golf Shed Project

-Dog Park Golf Shed...has already been approved...Total Cost approx. $540,000. Miller Field
Committee put up $275,000 The Winthrop Foundation put in $100,000 --- - -Town Council Voted to
match the Winthrop Foundation $25,000. A balance of $140,000 is left.....still looking for potential
funds that might come from the Miller Field Committee, doing further review as it leaves a balance of
approx... $71,000 of small line item balances, The motion coming out of Finance will be amended
from $86,000 to $71,000; this will still leave a balance of approx... $80,000 to complete the project.
Think there is potentially $25,000 coming from the Miller Field Committee.

-Town Council appropriate $20,000 from TC Reserve for the search of a Town Manager
This will begin the process of the beginning of a Town Manager Search Committee.

Motion will be amended from taking $20,000 from the Town Council reserve to taking it out of the
Town Manager Permanent Salary Line Item.

Joint Finance Committee and Rules & Ordinance
Will pass with a Positive Recommendation that the Town Council adopt the new Fee Schedule for the
Inspectional Services Fees

Public Safety

Did not have a meeting but did receive an email with potential opportunities for funding for the access of
the Fort Banks School from Governors Drive. Councilor Flockhart spoke to our planner, Rachel Kelly
about this and she does not believe out project qualifies for this but will review other prospects but stated
the town would have to do a traffic study and design to be able to apply.

Interim Town Manager Delehanty states there has been a traffic study on this and they are on the website
for review.

Councilor Flockhart asks if these would suffice for an RFP. Interim Town Manager replies, if not, then
we will review.

TAN CATINGTIT MERTING OR OCTOBER 5, 2021 PAGE2

TOWN MANAGER REPORT
Congratulates Acting Fire Chief Scott Wiley...

Reports a couple unforeseen problems on the Revere St. Project which is being worked on
water.

CBD-Both Interim Town Manager and DPW Director Steve Call reports that after a meeting with the
Designer and explains that the water and sewer main will be covered by the ARPA’s money.

Revere St. TIP project is going to be starting soon. The town has been notified by the DOT that we must
send out notices to people’s property that we might have temporary/permanent easements on, 7 are
temporary, the Winthrop Housing is permanent. We must compensate for the payment of these
easements to the homeowners... homeowners can gift their easement and a form will be generated but we
must pay legal costs...etc... There is a substantial cost. We will also have appraisals to process.

We will have to come back to the Town Council for funding.

Town Manager RFP has been submitted to the Procurement officer will be advertised and bids will be
expected.

DPW Surplus Vehicles-6 have been processed, we are still waiting for others.

October 22, 2021, Frankie Fabian Way behind the High School will be dedicated.

Green way grant has been researched and the Barr foundation will cover our match. Confident that this
grant will not cost Winthrop any tax paying dollars.

Two People have submitted bids on the Middle School which are being reviewed

Fall Fair Craft Show on October 9, 2021

Covid Update-Please see Town Website for all up to date information

Comments on Ferry, the DOT has made clear for us not to relay on them, they want to see how it works
without their funding.

TM has conversed with the DOT and they want a week by week and month by month cost analysis.

School department has relied on so many grants for their balanced budget; it is not a good procedures to
continue this.

Public Safety Building is something that has always been on his plate for thinking about this building.
Councilor Flockhart thanks DPW Director for the paving of the roads.

Councilor Ruggiero clears up the two projects at the beginning of Short beach. The TIP project includes
all the road_& sidewalk work. Unfortunately, both major construction projects are going on at the same
time.

DPW Director gives an update on work being done. (Please see Departmental Page of our Website)

Councilor Ferrino comments on the process in the parking lot of surplused vehicles.

TOWN COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 5, 2021 PAGE 3

He asked about the RFP on the E.B. Newton
DPW Director Calla reports RFP bids are next step.

Councilor Letterie asks that a review be done and citations be issued for all involved with the tragedy
that happened to our town in June.

Asks about the Revere St. TIP project and hopes this does not involve too much traffic with the Fort
Banks Scholl road, which is already impacted.

Comments on the grants and schools...he thinks more of Title 1 Grants which help the schools, he feels
the verbiage caused confusion and would like to clear this up on the Public Comment of Robert Carroll.

Councilor Christopher reflects on a walk thru in the CBD of the planting that will take place, would like
to know expectations if any of the plantings are to change from original and what the time line is.
Interim Town Manager has asked the DPW Director to return to the Architects and ask. Questions will
be: is there a cost change? are there better ideas? He does not want to just say yes if an increase cost is
involved. If there are major changes, it would have to come back to the Council.

Will plantings happen in the spring? Yes.

MEMORANDUM
TO; Town Council
FROM: Al Legee, Commissioner of Inspectional Services
DATE: September 9, 2021
RE: Proposed Fee Increases

Over the past seven years, the volume of building inspections has increased, Given the
increase in population in Town, the amount of daily construction, new construction and
violations, the Department needs to increase the amount of time spent for zoning review, plan
review, and approval, The cost of full inspections has risen while the fees associated with these
inspections have remained the same, Recently, the Inspections Services Department conducted a
fee comparison with other communities in the greater Boston atea. The comparison findings are
attached, Our conclusion is that the Town of Winthrop is lagging behind several communities in
the fee levels associated with inspections. After review of the data, we recommend the following
changes to our fee structure:

MEMORANDUM
TO: Interim Town Manager
FROM: Kathy Rappa, Deputy Treasurer/Collector
DATE: September 23, 2021
RE: Proposed Fee Increase

Our office recently conducted a survey with surrounding municipalities on their collection fees
and found that one of our fees are not in level with the other communities we surveyed.

Our Municipal Lien Certificate fee is $50.00 for a 1 to 4 family dwelling. We would like to
increase that to $75.00.

Over 4 family & commercial is $75.00, That fee would like to remain the same.

Re: Assessing Department Fees

Upon reaching out to other local municipalities and assessing departments regarding fees for abutters lists we found
that the typical range was from no charge at all to $30. The most common fee was $25.

Our current fees go by the radius of the abutters that need to be notified — ranging from $10 for 100 feet to $60 for
500 feet, Approximately 95%t+ of the abutters lists we do here are 100 feet, and the small remainder are comprised
of 150 foot lists at $25.

I recommend we switch to a flat rate of $25 for any abutters list. This would allow us to make a considerable amount
more, while keeping the prices reasonable and on par with surrounding communities,

Please let me know if any there are any questions or if more information is required.
