MEMORANDUM

TO: Town Boards, Committees and Commissions FROM: Douglas W. Heim DATE: June 16, 2021 RE: *UPDATE* Open Meeting Law Requirements & Remote Participation Post-

State of Emergency Arlington boards, committees, and commissions, please accept this memorandum as an update with respect to your obligations and options under the Open Meeting Law for holding public meetings and hearings in light of Governor Baker’s decision to end the COVID-19 State of Emergency and rescind related Executive Orders effective June 15, 2021, including the March 12, 2020 “Governor’s Order Suspending Certain Provisions of the Open Meeting Law, G. L. c. 30A, § 20”(“The Order”).

In short, following his decision to rescind the Order, Governor Baker filed special legislation to extend public bodies’ ability to conduct public meetings remotely in exactly the same manner set forth by the Order. That initial bill was received favorably but amended and signed by the Governor in its new form late last night. It must be noted that in an effort to pass the much need legislation quickly, minor administrative issues in the bill may require correction.

Nonetheless, germane to remote meetings, the bill as passed accomplishes three critical

things for Arlington meetings:

Douglas W. Heim 50 Pleasant Street Town Counsel Arlington, MA 02476 Phone: 781.316.3150 Fax: 781.316.3159 E-mail: dheim@town.arlington.ma.us Website: www.arlingtonma.gov

2

1. Allows for remote meetings and hearings by public bodies through April 1, 2022; (the initial legislation only extended these allowances through September 1, 2021);

2. Retroactively approves any remote meetings1 held yesterday; and

3. Allows for remote town meetings through December 15, 2021.

Options for the Future

The bill allows committees and commissions to continue to conduct meetings entirely

remotely but you will also have the options to conduct them entirely in-person, or in a “hybrid” manner where the public body meets in person, but the public is provided remote access (as allowed by Town and School policy respectively, and sufficiently resourced to meet requirements for remote meetings).2

As you will recall, remotely conducted meetings under the Order must provide

“[a]dequate, alternative means” for public access which may include providing public access through telephone, internet, satellite enabled audio or video conferencing, or any other technology that enables the public to clearly follow the proceedings of the public body in real time (for most committees and commissions, the Zoom platform or similar technology). Remote participation also requires:

1. The Chair announce the name of the member or members who are participating remotely at the start of each meeting (and that the remotely participating members be reflected in the minutes)

2. That all votes be taken by roll call. 3. That members of the public body must be clearly audible to each other and to members of

the public at all times; 4. That public bodies in remote executive sessions identify and approve any other persons

present for executive session

If a hybrid meeting is held where only members or members and persons with business before the meeting are physically present, it is recommended that the foregoing requirements be applied to aid the public and other participants’ ability to follow the proceedings. Furthermore, please ensure that the public can access Zoom-based meetings without registration (by affording a dial-in option to listen rather than participate by video).

1 The status of hearings performed yesterday is not clear. 2 Boards and Commissions holding legal hearings are reminded that they must also provide for public comment and testimony, which are not covered under the Open Meeting Law.

3

Already Noticed and Noticing Meetings in the Immediate Term

For those public bodies who already noticed “in person” meetings but wish to switch to remote meetings, please contact the Town Clerk with updated information on the meeting “location” which can be published on the Town’s website and Community Calendar.

For those bodies noticing meetings or hearings taking place in the coming days and weeks, but still discerning where and how such meetings will take place, please include some version of the following contingency language:

*Meeting venue subject to change while remote participation legislation is pending. Please check the Town’s Website and Calendar for the latest information on the location or means to access the meeting. Meetings may be moved to physical locations.*

2. Recognition of Health and Human Services Department The Board thanked Christine Bongiorno, Director of Health & Human Services and Natasha Waden, Director of Public Health for everything that they have done in leading the Town during this public health crisis. Since the end of February 2020 their team has worked constantly day and night. Throughout this process they kept the Town informed, updated, vaccinated, and tested on a regular basis. On March 8, 2020, they announced the first presumptive case of COVID-19 in the Town of Arlington and on March 12th they closed the Arlington Public Schools and since that time we have struggled as a nation to find PPE to get through to a period where we could get tested and vaccinated and they have led the local efforts through it all. The Board would like to sincerely thank Mrs. Bongiorno and Mrs. Waden for their commitment to the Town, keeping everyone involved and making difficult decisions all while following the science to get us to where

2

we are now. The Board noted the accomplishments that they have achieved over the last two years including the distribution of thousands of facemasks, administered over 11,500 vaccines to residents ages 5 to over 70. Due to their planning and extraordinary dedication, Arlington was number one of all communities in the state for vaccinating children ages 5 – 11. The Board would also like to note the Council of Aging, who assisted needs like coordinating over 9000 delivers of food as well as telehealth services. The Board would like to thank once again not only Mrs. Bongiorno and Mrs. Waden but their whole team at Health and Human Services.

WARRANT ARTICLE HEARINGS

13. Articles for Review: Article 26 Endorsement of CDBG Application Mallory Sullivan, CDBG Administrator appeared before the Board and gave a brief presentation regarding the CDBG subcommittees budget for fiscal year 23 program year 48. Ms. Sullivan explained that this year they received 14 applications from different organizations and town departments for a total of 22 projects totaling a cost of

6

$1,150,288. Ms. Sullivan explained that these applications were reviewed by the CDBG subcommittee and have been split into the following categories: affordable housing, public services, public facilities, and improvements and planning and administration costs. The Board thanked Ms. Sullivan for her presentation and noted that this article represents the annual vote to endorse the annual applications for CDBG funds. Mr. Hurd moved favorable action. A roll call vote was taken on the motion by Mr. Heim. Mr. Hurd: yes Mr. Diggins: yes Mr. Helmuth: yes Mrs. Mahon: yes Mr. DeCourcey: yes Mr. Chapdelaine yes SO VOTED (6-0)

Includes vote of Town Manager for CDBG purposes. Article 16 Bylaw Amendment/Noise Regulations for Gas Powered Leaf Blowers Anne Goodwin and Alicia Russell appeared before the Board to give their presentation regarding the bylaw amendment. Quiet Healthy Arlington is proposing an amendment to bylaw article 12 section 5 noise regulation relating to gas powered leaf blowers. Ms. Goodwin stated that the current bylaw, which was adopted in 2013 does not meaningfully regulate their use and has been impractical to enforce. The proposed amendment will restore the right of residents to a quiet healthy environment. Ms. Goodwin explained that the proposed bylaw amendment would restrict use of gas-powered leaf blowers by commercial landscape companies, property managers, Town employees working on Town property and private property owners on a phased basis, with a proposed transition period to take place from May 31, 2022, to March 30, 2024. Ms. Goodwin explained that they are also seeking to establish that the use of all gas-powered leaf blowers would be prohibited as of March 30, 2024. Ms. Goodwin explained that they have some ideas on the topic of licensing, education, and penalties. Commercial landscape companies would obtain a license to operate in Town which would require the registration of equipment and education about the bylaw which they have proposed at $25.00 a calendar year. The Select Board supports this petition to transition from, and eventually phase out the use of gas-powered leaf blowers in Town. The Board recognizes the adverse environmental impact that gas powered leaf blowers have on the environment and appreciate that advancing technology continues to make electric powered leaf blowers more efficient, effective, and affordable. The Board expressed concern with the phase out timeline, especially as applied to residents, originally set out by the bylaw amendment proponents, but the current timelines are more feasible for residents and also more consistent with transition and phase out timelines already adopted by some surrounding communities. The following members of the public spoke regarding this warrant article: Paul Schlichtman, 47 Mystic Street Beth Melofchik, 20 Russell Street

Adam Auster, 10 Cottage Avenue Elizabeth Dray, 130 Jason Street Mr. Helmuth moved favorable action. A roll call vote was taken on the motion by Mr. Heim. Mr. Hurd: yes Mr. Diggins: yes Mr. Helmuth: yes Mrs. Mahon: yes Mr. DeCourcey: yes SO VOTED (5-0) Article 11 Bylaw Amendment/Domestic Partnerships Amos Meeks appeared before the Board and stated that this article is inserted at the request of the LGBTQIA+ Rainbow Commission to see if the Town will vote to amend Title I Article 23 of the bylaws to define the parameters of domestic partnerships in Arlington. Mr. Meeks explained the following amendments:

1. To eliminate the requirement that domestic partners reside together or share basic living expenses. The proposed amendments also eliminate the requirement that domestic partners are not married;

2. To establish certain employment benefits for domestic partners, including

bereavement leave, sick leave to care for a domestic partner or dependent of a domestic partnership, and parental leave; and

3. To set out limitations of liability so that nothing in the bylaw should be construed

to impose liability upon a domestic partner for the health or medical expenses of their domestic partner, with the sole exception of the medical insurance contributions assumed by a Town or School Department employee who is a member of a domestic partnership.

The Board thanked Mr. Meeks for his presentation and are in support of these amendments. The Board recognizes that the proposed amendments to the bylaw will likely be subject to review by the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Municipal Law Unit. Mr. Hurd moved favorable action. A roll call vote was taken on the motion by Mr. Heim. Mr. Hurd: yes Mr. Diggins: yes Mr. Helmuth: yes Mrs. Mahon: yes Mr. DeCourcey: yes SO VOTED (5-0) Article 12 Bylaw Amendment/Single Use Plastic Water Bottle Regulation Jennifer Lace a member of Zero Waste Arlington appeared before the Board and explained that their warrant article is in response to the increasing concerns about plastic pollution and its impact on the environment. Ms. Lace explained that this warrant article seeks to ban the sale of single use plastic water bottles at retail establishments in

8

the Town of Arlington, as well as in any Town owned buildings such as schools. The proposed ban would apply only to single serving containers of non-carbonated, unflavored drinking with a volume of one liter or less, that is made in whole or in part or plastic material, excluding the cap, with any designated resin codes 1 through 6. Ms. Lace explained that this article if passed would be enforced by the Town’s Department of Health and Human Services effective as of November 2022. The following members of the public spoke regarding this warrant article: Beth Melofchik, 20 Russell Street Amy Speare, 118 Ridge Street Elizabeth Dray, 130 Jason Street Sarah McKinnon, 10 Kilsythe Road Priya SanKalia, 253 Pheasant Avenue Larry Slotnick, 94 Grafton Street The Board thanked Ms. Lace for the presentation. The Board expressed support for the concept of statewide legislation on this issue as a way to minimize any potential impact on small businesses. However, in light of the stalled efforts at the state level, the Board supports this local measure as a necessary means of protecting the environment and public health through reducing solid waste and unnecessary strains on recycling resources, minimizing litter, reducing the Town’s carbon footprint and climate change impacts, preserving local waterways, and protecting the health of Arlington residents and visitors by reducing the sale and disposal of single use plastic water bottles. Mr. Hurd moved favorable action. A roll call vote was taken on the motion by Mr. Heim. Mr. Hurd: yes Mr. Diggins: yes Mr. Helmuth: yes Mrs. Mahon: yes Mr. DeCourcey: yes SO VOTED (5-0) Article 13 Bylaw Amendment/Prohibit the Use of Face Surveillance Ezra Fischer appeared before the Board to present his bylaw amendment to prohibit the use of face surveillance. Mr. Fischer explained that this bylaw would ban all use of facial recognition technology in the Town of Arlington except that which is already provided by state. Mr. Fischer explained that this will not ban the use of any existing security cameras that the Town operates or restrict buying or deploying new ones. Arlington has never used facial recognition software so this will not change anything about the way Arlington as a Town currently uses video or still images. Mr. Fischer further explained that this article would not prevent a private entity from using any software they would like on their own property. Mr. Fischer stated that the recently enacted Chapter 253 of the Acts of 2020, of the Justice, Equity, and Accountability in Law Enforcement Act (“JEALE” Act) for the first time in Massachusetts regulates law enforcement personnel’s use of computerized facial recognition searches for the purpose of identifying “unidentified persons.” Mr. Fischer further noted that the JEALE Act also established a Special Commission to Evaluate Government Use of Facial Recognition Technology in the Commonwealth which releases a report outlining its concerns and

9

recommendations on March 14, 2022. Mr. Fischer explained that current facial recognition technology is inaccurate because in addition to not being extremely good at recognizing faces it has been proved to be worse at identifying people of color, women and especially women of color. There have been multiple cases of false arrest bases on the use of facial recognition leading to lawsuits against municipalities. The Board thanked Mr. Fischer for his presentation and agrees that this is an important complicated issue. After a lengthy discussion, the Board agrees that there are a lot of very specific and good instances where this law could be beneficial but is concerned regarding the unintended consequences and would like to defer to the experts in the state level. Mr. Heim stated that with respect to setting policy, it is important to recognize that our Town Manager Act vests most of the Town’s policy in day-to-day administration and supervision of the departments in the Town Manager.

Mr. Franzosa explained that this study committee was created in 2021 which called for the formation of a study committee in turn, a youth and young adult advisory committee. Mr. Franzosa explained that the purpose of the Collaborative will be to cultivate the perspective of youth and young adults on issues affecting the Town. While purely advisory in nature, the Collaborative will serve to enhance representation of youth and young people, harness youth activism, and establish a pathway and resource for further engagement in and with the Town’s government. Mr. Franzosa explained that the structure of the Board will be based off of the Envision Arlington model. As presented, the bylaw would authorize appointment of one youth (ages 12 and up) and one young adult (up to age 39) from each of the Town’s 21 precincts. Only half of the membership will be voting members at any given time. The Board thanked Mr. Franzosa for the presentation and the great amount of work that has been done leading up to this recommendation. The Board unanimously recommends to Town Meeting the creation of the Arlington Youth Collaborative as developed by the Youth and Young Adult Advisory Board, Commission, or Committee Study Committee established under Article 17 of the 2021 Annual Town Meeting. Mr. Diggins moved favorable action. A roll call vote was taken on the motion by Mr. Heim. Mr. Hurd: yes Mr. Diggins: yes Mr. Helmuth: yes Mrs. Mahon: yes Mr. DeCourcey yes (SO VOTED 5-0) Article 13 Bylaw Amendment/Prohibit the Use of Face Surveillance Mr. DeCourcey explained that this warrant article is before us for a second time as the Board had tabled this from their last meeting. Mr. DeCourcey stated that the Board had got to a place where they believed there could be potential preemption issue because of the JEALE Act and potentially doing a resolution instead. Mr. Fischer thanked the Board for their time and explained that the issue around the Town Manager Act in particular is what helped them make their decision of a resolution instead of a bylaw amendment. Mr. Fischer stated that he has drafted a resolution for the Board’s review and is hoping for the Boards support as well as supporting the action to support the State Representatives to continue to do their work on facial recognition.

The Board thanked Mr. Fischer for the great deal of work he has done for this warrant article and explained that at this time they would support a resolution and to work with Town Counsel on final language before Town Meeting. Mr. Hurd moved favorable action for a resolution with final wording to be worked out with Town Counsel. A roll call vote was taken on the motion by Mr. Heim. Mr. Hurd: yes Mr. Diggins: yes Mr. Helmuth: yes Mrs. Mahon: yes Mr. DeCourcey yes (SO VOTED 5-0) Article 14 Vote/Establish a Committee on Insurance Costs and Issues Mr. Fischer appeared before the Board and stated that he intends to pursue the contemplated project through the already existing Civic Engagement Group. The Select Board thanked Mr. Fischer for his continued interest and research on this subject. Mr. Hurd moved no action. A roll call vote was taken on the motion by Mr. Heim. Mr. Hurd: yes Mr. Diggins: yes Mr. Helmuth: yes Mrs. Mahon: yes Mr. DeCourcey yes (SO VOTED 5-0) Article 15 Bylaw Amendment/ Noise Abatement Mr. Heim stated that this is before the Board again as the Board had asked for language about what an abutter notice may look like. Mr. Heim explained that he has drafted something to insert into Mr. Schlichtman’s warrant article where he left blank the distance and number of days in advance. Mr. Heim explained that there is a qualifier put on the authorized exemption for public and private way projects which inserts the clause following transmission of an abutter notice as set forth herein. Mr. Heim noted that there is a sub paragraph that notes an abutter notice is going to be required for non-emergency public work, utility projects or private ways outside of the allowance. The Select Board thanked Mr. Heim and Mr. Schlichtman for their work on this warrant article and recommends this resident-petitioner-proposed adjustment to the Town’s “Noise Bylaw,” which presently permits the Department of Public Works, its agents, and certain public utilities to perform work during restricted hours which would otherwise violate the Town’s noise bylaw with the permission of the Town Manager. The Board added the language “within 500 feet of anticipated work, two (2) business days in advance of such work commencing.”

Mr. Helmuth moved favorable action. A roll call vote was taken on the motion by Mr. Heim. Mr. Hurd: yes Mr. Diggins: yes Mr. Helmuth: yes Mrs. Mahon: yes Mr. DeCourcey yes (SO VOTED 5-0) Article 18 Bylaw Amendment/Phase Out of Certain Toxic Rodenticides on

Public/Private Property, with Reporting Requirement and Public Education Article 77 Resolution/Establishing an Integrated Pest Management Policy for Town

Land, Prohibitions, and Public Education about Rodenticide Hazards The Board heard these warrant articles together. Mr. Theil appeared before the Board and gave a brief presentation on their warrant article. Mr. Theil explained that their goal was to identify a set of policies around this issue that were legally viable while considering the Town Manager Act and also the state law that restricts what local communities can do. Mr. Theil explained that they are looking for the Board’s support for a three-pronged approach to address the many dangers posed by use of second-generation anti-coagulant rodenticide (“SGARs”) poisons to address the rodent population in Arlington. The Board thanked Mr. Theil for his presentation and explained that the use, handling, and transportation of SGARs are regulated by state law which almost certainly pre-empts local regulation. The Board also stated that this is also regulated under the Town Manager Act. The Board agrees with the petitioner that these poisons pose a danger not only to their targets, but to wildlife, pets and potentially humans. The following members of the public spoke regarding this warrant article: John Sanbonmatsu, 100 Varnum Street Elana Varner Adam Karachi, owner of a pest exterminating company Laura Kiesel, 260 Massachusetts Avenue Robin Bergman, 320 Park Avenue Paul Schlichtman, 47 Mystic Street The Board believes the goals of this resident petition article can best served by adding a registration and notification layer harmonious with existing state law, seeking authority to prohibit SGARs in the future, and resolving to support and educate the public about Integrated Pest Management regardless of the Town’s regulatory authority. The Board is seeking Town Meeting’s support for the below three step approach:

1. A bylaw requiring licensed commercial applicators of SGARs to register with the Town and notify the Health Department when and where SGARs are deployed;

2. Special Legislation to authorize the Town to locally regulate SGARs, with the long-term goal of prohibiting SGAR use throughout the Town and promoting Integrated

6

Pest Management solutions which rely on non-toxic methods to address infestations and permit SGARs only as a las resort; and

3. Adopt a Resolution encouraging Integrated Pest Management, discouraging SGAR applications throughout Town, but particularly for Town and School lands and buildings.

Mr. Hurd moved favorable action. A roll call vote was taken on the motion by Mr. Heim. Mr. Hurd: yes Mr. Diggins: yes Mr. Helmuth: yes Mrs. Mahon: yes Mr. DeCourcey yes (SO VOTED 5-0) Article 27 Revolving Funds Mr. Chapdelaine explained that this is an annual warrant article to receive reports on expenditures and receipts of the various Town revolving funds and to authorize and reauthorize such funds in accordance with state law. Mr. Chapdelaine explained that these funds must be reauthorized annually in order to enable expenditures from them, and as such, must be included in our abbreviated Town Meeting session. Mrs. Mahon moved favorable action. A roll call vote was taken on the motion by Mr. Heim. Mr. Hurd: yes Mr. Diggins: yes Mr. Helmuth: yes Mrs. Mahon: yes Mr. DeCourcey yes (SO VOTED 5-0) Article 47 Endorsement of Parking Benefit District Expenditures Mr. Chapdelaine explained that they are putting together one final refinement on the spreadsheet and will come back to the Board on Wednesday with that figure.

Mr. Hurd: yes Mr. Diggins: yes Mr. Helmuth: yes Mrs. Mahon: yes Mr. DeCourcey yes (SO VOTED 5-0) Article 75 Resolution/Commitment to Increase Diversity in Town Appointments

7

Elizabeth Dray appeared before the Board and explained her warrant article which is to ask for the Board’s support in a resolution to increase diversity in Town Appointments. Ms. Dray explained that this resolution serves to focus attention on commitment to building a community where everyone is heard, respected, and protected. This resolution asks appointing authorities to identify and actively break down the barriers that maintain the status quo and prevent us from benefiting from the rich diversity of experiences, perspectives and ideas found in our community. Ms. Dray explained that the Town of Arlington has repeatedly affirmed its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Board thanked Ms. Dray for her presentation and supports this resolution and seizes the opportunity to reaffirm the Board’s continuing commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in all Town matters. The Board hopes that it leads to an increase in applicants and appointments of persons from underrepresented groups to Town committees and boards. Mr. Diggins moved favorable action. A roll call vote was taken on the motion by Mr. Heim.

REPORT OF THE

SELECT BOARD

TO THE

TOWN MEETING MONDAY APRIL 25, 2022

8:00 P.M.

INTRODUCTION

The Select Board is pleased to present its report to Town Meeting of its main motions under the following articles. These votes are the result of hearings the Board conducted between February 23rd and April 4th, during which time the Board heard from proponents and opponents of the various articles. The objective of Select Board Warrant Article Hearings is to develop the Board’s recommendations on each article before it by majority vote, to be set forth with the comments in the Select Board Report in advance of Town Meeting. Where the Board supports taking some action contemplated by an article, regardless of how it appears before the Board, the Select Board, with assistance of Town Counsel, shall develop a motion for Town Meeting to take a specific action. Where the Board opposes an article, it will recommend a vote of “no action” to Town Meeting in its report. The Board would like to welcome back Stephen W. DeCourcey to serve as Arlington’s newly re-elected member of the Board. The Board thanks Town Meeting members for their service and for their willingness to give fair and serious consideration to all of the important issues raised by the various articles. The Board wishes Town Meeting well in its deliberations and stands ready to respond to any questions or comments concerning these articles.

Please note that where necessary for clarity, new or additional language in an amended Town Bylaw has been underlined, while removed language is denoted by strikethrough.

COMMENT: The Select Board unanimously urges Town Meeting to support and adopt this suite of updates to the Human Rights Commission Bylaw as developed and requested by the Commission itself. The proposed amendments do not alter the mission or orientation of the Commission. Rather, the amendments reflect administrative and modest substantive alterations primarily aimed toward three goals:

1. Simplifying language and/or eliminating unnecessary provisions; 2. Adding definitions and/or clarifying Commission processes for receiving,

investigating, and resolving complaints as well as initiating proactive responses to incidents; and

3. Updating provisions regarding the Commission’s purpose, powers, roles, and resources to better reflect and aid the Commission with modernized presentation of equity concerns.

The Board trusts the Commission’s recommendations for these updates and welcomes the tenor of same, which is not a critique of the Commission or the original bylaw, but rather reflects an effort to strengthen the Commission and reinforce its operations using the experience of its members over the last several years.

COMMENT: The Select Board unanimously recommends to Town Meeting the creation of the Arlington Youth Collaborative as developed by the Youth and Young Adult Advisory Board, Commission, or Committee Study Committee established under Article 17 of the 2021 Annual Town Meeting. The purpose of the Collaborative will be to cultivate the perspective of youth and young adults on issues affecting the Town. While purely advisory in nature, the Collaborative will serve to enhance representation of youth and young people, harness youth activism, and establish a pathway and resource for further engagement in and with the Town’s government. The proposed structure of the Collaborative is modeled on Envision Arlington – a standing committee which may also utilize more flexible and informal forums for discussion and idea development known as “Task Groups.” As presented, the bylaw would authorize appointment of one youth (ages 12 and up) and one young adult (up to age 39) from each of the Town’s 21 precincts in order to garner a wide base of participation and viewpoint. Only half of the membership will be voting members at any given time. Paired with modest quorum requirements, the Collaborative will be able to efficiently conduct its business while benefitting from the collective wisdom a larger public body.

(5 – 0)

COMMENT: The Select Board unanimously supports the thoroughly researched and carefully developed recommendation of the Police Civilian Advisory Board Study Committee to establish a standing commission which will serve as a civilian resource for the public to file complaints, raise concerns, or recommend commendations about Arlington police officers, as well as a forum examine Arlington policing policies and practices. The purpose of the recommended commission bears highlighting:

The purpose of the Arlington Civilian Police Advisory Commission is to provide an opportunity for increased understanding and trust between the community and the

Arlington Police Department, assist members of the public as a resource in the event they have complaints, concerns, or commendations about policing in Arlington or specific police personnel, and to provide the Arlington Police Department and Town management with a public forum for feedback about police personnel, policies, procedures and data.

The Board agrees with the Study Committee that a Civilian Police Advisory Commission with this purpose (and the recommended commission composition, duties and responsibilities of the proposed bylaw to achieve such a purpose) is well-customized to fit the needs of Arlington. Generally, the Arlington Police Department, including its internal investigation of complaints against its officers, has provided very high quality, modern, community-centric policing throughout the Town. However, the Study Committee identified specific areas of community concern, including unfamiliarity with how to file complaints (or commend exemplary officer

conduct), confidentiality questions, anxiety about filing complaints against the police with the police, and specific stories where personal trust in the police department was eroded. Germane to these sometimes competing data points, in at least one compelling story relayed to the Study Committee in one of its fourteen (14) listening sessions, the same person reported both highly positive and highly negative experiences with APD officers under differing circumstances. The Select Board believes that the proposed Civilian Police Advisory Commission will provide a resource for the public and for APD to help reinforce and cultivate confidence, trust, and communication such that the excellent conduct of Arlington police officers is recognized, acknowledged, and encouraged; and the negative conduct of Arlington police officers is conveyed, heard, and addressed. Of note: though the Study Committee recommended that no retired law enforcement officers from Arlington or elsewhere be eligible to serve on the Commission, by a vote of 4-1 (with Mr. Diggins in the negative), the Board amended the article to allow retired Police Depart law enforcement officers from elsewhere (i.e., not from Arlington) to be eligible to serve on the Commission.

Finally, the Board strongly recommends Town Meeting members and interested parties read the report of the Police Civilian Advisory Study Committee provided to the Select Board and supporting materials both from the Chief of Police and the Director Diversity Equity and Inclusion, both of whom support this recommended bylaw, which is provided as reference material in this report to Town Meeting.

ARTICLE 9 BYLAW AMENDMENT ACHIEVING NET ZERO

GREENHOUSE GAS EMMISIONS FROM TOWN FACILITIES CONSISTENT WITH THE TOWN OF ARLINGTON’S NET ZERO ACTION PLAN

VOTED: That no action be taken under Article 9.

(5 – 0)

COMMENT: The Select Board supports the goals of this article inserted at the request of the Clean Energy Future Committee (“CEFC”): to update and replace Title I, Article 16, Section 4 of the Town Bylaws(“LEED”) (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) to effectuate a policy of eliminating gas emissions from municipal buildings consistent with the Town’s Net Zero Action Plan. However, additional time is needed for the CEFC, Permanent Town Building Committee, and Town Manager to work out details of appropriate standards and expected processes to meet them. The Board’s hope and expectation is that this article will return for further discussion at the 2023 Annual Town Meeting. ARTICLE 10 BYLAW AMENDMENT/ TREE PRESERVATION AND

PROTECTION

VOTED: That Title V, Article 16, Sections 2 and 4 be and hereby are amended as follows:

ARTICLE 16 TREE PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION A. The following definitions shall apply to this By-law: "Demolition" - Any act of, or commencing the work of, destroying, pulling down, removing or razing a building or commencing the work of total or substantial destruction of a building; or removing the roof structure, or removing two exterior walls, of a building. “Protected Tree” - Any existing healthy tree on private land with a DBH of eight (8) six (6) inches or greater located in the setback area, which does not pose an immediate hazard to persons or property or is not under imminent threat of disease or insect infestation. “Tree Plan” - A site plan drawn and stamped by a certified land surveyor or engineer, and stamped by a certified arborist or landscape architect, showing all Protected Trees in the setback areas as defined herein and public shade trees near the property, and indicating, on the site plan or in a separate document, which Protected Trees will be retained, which will be removed, and, how critical root zones of each Protected Tree and public shade tree will be protected from damage during site work. B. In all instances of construction or demolition as defined and applicable herein, the owner of the property shall submit a Tree Plan accompanied by a fee of $50, to the Tree Warden prior to or concurrent with an application for a building or demolition permit. Additionally, if any Protected Trees were removed during the 12 months preceding the application for a building or demolition permit, such trees shall be accounted for on the Tree Plan to the best of the owner's ability and shall be mitigated pursuant to paragraph 4.C. If no Tree Plan is required, the owner shall sign an affidavit on the Building Permit Application that no Tree Plan needs to be filed per the Tree Bylaw.

(5 – 0)

COMMENT: The Select Board unanimously endorses the suite of Tree Protection Bylaw updates recommended by the Tree Committee. In brief, the updates and alterations to the current Tree Protection Bylaw will optimize the Town’s efforts to identify, and where possible, discourage unnecessary tree removal and/or damage to trees during construction activities. The proposed changes will:

• Expand the definition of “protected trees” under the bylaw to include trees smaller in diameter;

• Expand the definitions of “demolition” to encompass a wider range of construction activities; and

• Clarify and strengthen tree plan requirements by requiring plan certification by arborists or landscape architects; and requiring owner’s affidavits where applicants represent no tree plan is needed.

ARTICLE 11 BYLAW AMENDMENT/DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIPS

TITLE I

ARTICLE 23

DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIPS

Recognizing its commitment to fair treatment of its citizens, the Town adopts this Bylaw that acknowledges domestic partnerships. People in committed relationships who meet the criteria established by the Town as constituting a domestic partnership are provided an opportunity by this Bylaw to register at the office of the Town Clerk, obtain a certificate attesting to their status, and share in certain rights and benefits conferred under this Bylaw. Section 2. Definitions

A. “Domestic partnership” shall mean two or more persons who meet all of the following requirements and who register their domestic partnership in accordance with Title I, Article 23, Section 3.

(1) They have made a commitment of mutual support and caring for their domestic partners;

(2) They reside together and intend to do so indefinitely;

(3) They share basic living expenses;

(2) They are at least eighteen (18) years of age;

(3) They are competent to enter into a contract; and

(4) They are not married to anyone or related to each other by blood closer than would bar marriage in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

B. “Dependents” shall mean a child or step-child of any domestic partner.

Section 3. Registration, Amendment and Termination

(5 – 0) COMMENT: The Select Board unanimously supports this recommendation of the LGBTQIA+ Rainbow Commission to update the Domestic Partnership bylaw. The proposed amendments include changes aimed at meeting the following goals:

1. To eliminate the requirement that domestic partners reside together or share basic living expenses. The proposed amendments also eliminate the requirement that domestic partners are not married;

2. To establish certain employment benefits for town employee domestic partners,

including bereavement leave, sick leave to care for a domestic partner or dependent of a domestic partnership, and parental leave; and

3. To set out limitations of liability so that nothing in the bylaw should be construed

to impose liability upon a domestic partner for the health or medical expenses of their domestic partner, with the sole exception of the medical insurance contributions assumed by a Town or School Department employee who is a member of a domestic partnership.

The Board unanimously supports these amendments to the original bylaw that was passed by the 2021 Annual Town Meeting and approved by the Massachusetts Attorney General’s

Municipal Law Unit in a decision set forth in correspondence dated December 23, 2021. The Board recognizes that the proposed amendments to the bylaw, if adopted by the 2022 Annual Town Meeting, will be subject to review by the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Municipal Law Unit.

ARTICLE 12 BYLAW AMENDMENT/SINGLE USE PLASTIC WATER

BOTTLE REGULATION

VOTED: That Title VIII, Article 9 of the Town Bylaws (“Public Health and Safety”) be and hereby is amended to add a new Article 10, “Single Use Plastic Water Bottle Regulation” as set forth below: ARTICLE 10 SINGLE USE PLASTIC WATER BOTTLE REGULATION SECTION 1. Purpose and Intent

The Town of Arlington (“Town”) recognizes that the use and disposal of single use plastic water bottles have significant negative impacts on the marine and land environment, and to public health, including but not limited to:

1. Contributing to the plastic pollution of the land environment, waterways and

oceans; 2. Contributing to the harm and premature death of marine animals through

ingestion of microplastics; 3. Posing a health risk to humans, including through ingestion of hormone

disruptors such as phthalates that leach into plastic water bottles, inhalation of toxic emissions from burning plastic bottles in incinerators, and ingestion of microplastics in the food chain;

4. Exacerbating climate change through the use of millions of gallons of oil every year for the manufacture of single use water bottles in the U.S.

The purpose of this bylaw is to protect the environment and public health through reducing solid waste and unnecessary strains on recycling resources, minimizing litter, reducing the Town’s carbon footprint and climate change impacts, preserving local waterways, and protecting the health of Arlington residents and visitors by reducing the sale and disposal of single use plastic water bottles. SECTION 2. Definitions

A. “Single use plastic water bottle”: Any single serving container, whether sold individually or in bulk, containing non-carbonated, unflavored drinking water with a volume of one liter or less, that is made in whole or in part of plastic material, excluding the cap, with any designated resin codes 1 through 6.

B. “Department”: The Arlington Department of Health and Human Services. C. “Director”: The Director of the Arlington Department of Health and Human

Services.

D. “Retail Establishment”: Any commercial enterprise, whether for or not for profit, including but not limited to the following: restaurants, pharmacies, convenience stores, grocery stores, gas stations, liquor stores, seasonal and temporary businesses, retail stores, and any other businesses that sell single use plastic water bottles to the public.

SECTION 3. Regulation of Single Use Plastic Water Bottles

A. No retail establishment, as defined in Section 2, shall sell any single use plastic water bottle, as defined in Section 2. The sale of single use plastic water bottles is unlawful and any such sale is subject to the enforcement and penalties set forth in Section 4 of this Article.

B. No person shall sell single use plastic water bottles, as defined in Section 2, in any Town owned building.

SECTION 4. Enforcement and Penalties

A. Each retail establishment, as defined in Section 2, located in the Town, and every person using a Town owned building, shall comply with this bylaw.

1. If it is determined that a violation has occurred, the Director or their

designee shall first issue a warning notice to the retail establishment for a first time violation.

2. If, after 14 days from receipt of the warning notice, the retail

establishment continues to violate this bylaw or commits a second violation, the Director or their designee shall issue a notice of violation and shall impose a penalty against the retail establishment.

3. The penalty for each violation that occurs after the issuance of the

warning notice shall be: no more than:

(i) $100 for the first offense; (ii) $150 for the second offense; (iii) $200 for the third and all subsequent offenses.

4. Retail establishments shall have 15 calendar days after the date that a notice of violation is issued to pay the penalty or request a hearing in writing to the Director.

B. The Director may promulgate additional guidelines and regulations necessary

for the effective enforcement of this bylaw, consistent with the foregoing. (5 – 0)

COMMENT: The Select Board unanimously supports this recommended addition to the Town’s Public Health and Safety Bylaws brought forth by the Zero Waster Arlington Committee to

prohibit the sale of single use plastic water bottles, as defined in the recommended amendment.

The Board expressed support for the concept of state wide legislation on this issue as a way to minimize any potential impact on small businesses. However, in light of the stalled efforts at the state level, the Board supports this local measure as a necessary means of protecting the environment and public health through reducing solid waste and unnecessary strains on recycling resources, minimizing litter, reducing the Town’s carbon footprint and climate change impacts, preserving local waterways, and protecting the health of Arlington residents and visitors by reducing the sale and disposal of single use plastic water bottles.

ARTICLE 13 BYLAW AMENDMENT/PROHIBIT THE USE OF FACE SURVEILLANCE

VOTED: That Town Meeting hereby resolves as follows:

“A Resolution that Government use of Face Surveillance should be Further Limited in Order to Conform with Our Values”

WHEREAS:

A. Facial recognition technology has been proven to be worse at identifying people of color and women and even worse at identifying women of color. This biased inaccuracy has already led to multiple cases of false arrest leading to lawsuits against municipalities; AND

B. The rights of free speech and assembly are among our most prized and government use of face surveillance has a chilling effect on free exercise of these rights; AND

C. Widespread government use of face surveillance would violate basic expectations of privacy and our Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures; AND

D. The people disproportionately harmed when government surveillance power expands are the segments of our population uniquely vulnerable to any kind of poorly wielded government power: LGBT+, homeless people, people with mental illnesses, people of color, and of course the many people who embody more than one of those categories; AND

E. The current state law pertaining to this issue (M.G.L. Ch. 6, Section 220) has several gaps: a. By regulating only the use of facial recognition by law enforcement, it allows other

branches of government free reign to use face surveillance however they wish; b. It requires only a court order to perform a facial recognition search, which is a

lower standard of proof than a warrant; and c. It defines both facial recognition and facial recognition search but then only

legislates the use of facial recognition search. This means that while the limited application of taking an unidentified image and using software to identify it is regulated, there’s nothing to prevent any part of government, including law enforcement from doing facial recognition in their day-to-day operations.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY TOWN MEETING OF THE TOWN OF ARLINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS:

1. Town Meeting calls upon our state representatives to promptly follow the recommendations of the Special Commission to Evaluate Government Use of Facial Recognition Technology in the Commonwealth including amending the current state law to:

a. both limit use of facial recognition search to felony cases and by requiring a warrant based on probable cause with the exception of responding to emergency situations or identifying a deceased person; and

b. ban the use of face recognition for surveillance, tracking, and emotion recognition; AND

2. We further ask that our state representatives push for additional legislation to address the non-law enforcement government use of this technology; AND

3. We also use this resolution to make our expectations of our own town government clear. We expect that the only use of facial recognition technology by the Town of Arlington be that which is explicitly provided for in state law.

(5 – 0)

COMMENT: The Select Board joins the resident petitioners in their concern about the abuse of facial recognition technologies to gather inappropriate information from and about members of the public. The recently enacted Chapter 253 of the Acts of 2020 – the Justice, Equity, and Accountability in Law Enforcement Act (“JEALE” Act) for the first time in Massachusetts regulates law enforcement personnel’s use of computerized facial recognition searches for the purpose of identifying “unidentified persons,” but does not cover all the necessary ground in this body’s opinion, including passive use of such technologies, use of such technologies to monitor “known” persons, or use of such technologies by non-law enforcement entities.

The JEALE Act also established a Special Commission to Evaluate Government Use of Facial Recognition Technology in the Commonwealth, which released a 173 page report outlining its concerns and recommendations on March 14, 2022. The petitioners and the Select Board agree that it is important to track the progress of action on those recommendations in the immediate future. It is also essential to acknowledge that the Town does not now and has no plans to utilize facial recognition technology. Nonetheless, the Select Board believes that the instant resolution affirms the importance of prohibiting the use of this technology both externally and internally in a manner that avoids potential issues of pre-emption by state law and is consistent with the discretion invested in the Town Manager and department heads under our separation of powers within the Town Manager Act.

ARTICLE 14 VOTE/ESTABLISH A COMMITTEE ON INSURANCE

COSTS AND ISSUES VOTED: That no action be taken on Article 20.

(5 – 0)

COMMENT: The petitioner intends to pursue the contemplated project through the already existing Civic Engagement Group. As such, the Select Board recommends no action with appreciation for the petitioners’ continued interest and research on this subject.

ARTICLE 15 BYLAW AMENDMENT/NOISE ABATEMENT VOTED: Title V Article 12 (“Noise Abatement”) Section 3 (“Daytime-Only Activities”), Subsection (A)(3)(a) (“Authorized Exemptions for Public and Private Way Projects”) be and hereby is amended to provide for a notice provision for application of exemptions for certain roadway and utility projects, to read as follows:

3. Authorized Exemptions for Public and Private Way Projects a. Following transmission of an “abutter notice” as set forth herein Arlington Department of Public Works, public utilities, and/or their contractors may perform non-emergency work in and/or on public and private ways within the Town of Arlington outside of the operating hours set forth in this Section with the permission of the Town Manager. i. “Abutter notice,” shall be required for non-emergency public works or utility projects in or on public or private ways outside of allowed day-time hours under this bylaw, and may be satisfied by a mail, hand, or electronic delivery of a notice setting forth the date, time, and expected nature of work being permitted by the Town Manager under this section to each residential unit within 500 feet of anticipated work, two (2) business days in advance of such work commencing.

COMMENT: The Select Board recommends this resident-petitioner-proposed adjustment to the Town’s “Noise Bylaw,” which presently permits the Department of Public Works, its agents, and certain public utilities to perform work during restricted hours which would otherwise violate the Town’s noise bylaw with the permission of the Town Manager. The purpose of the already existing exemption is to recognize that some road and utility projects are better and more safely performed under night-time or early morning traffic conditions. However, the consequential noise from such work, while unavoidable impacts surrounding abutters. By providing advance notice of these Noise Bylaw-exempt activities, such residents can prepare for and mitigate such impacts, or provide further input to the Town Manager.

(5-0)

COMMENT: The Select Board unanimously supports this resident petition article to transition from, and eventually phase out the use of gas powered leaf blowers in Town. The Board recognizes the adverse impact that gas powered leaf blowers have on the environment and appreciates that advancing technology continues to make electric powered leaf blowers more efficient, effective and affordable. The Board expressed concern with the phase out timeline, especially as applied to residents, originally set out by the bylaw amendment proponents, but the current timelines are more feasible for residents and also more consistent with transition and phase out timelines already adopted by some surrounding communities. Accordingly, the Board unanimously supports this proposed bylaw amendment.

ARTICLE 17 BYLAW AMENDMENT/CONVERSION OF GAS STATION DISPENSING PUMPS TO SELF SERVICE OPERATION

VOTED: That Title 5, Article 5 (“Self-Service Gas Dispensing”), be stricken in its entirety and to note its removal so as to read as follows:

ARTICLE 5

This Article Removed

SELF SERVICE GAS DISPENSING Section 1. Restriction on Sale No filling station shall allow the pumping of gasoline for retail sale by any person other than an authorized attendant employee of said filling station. Section 2. Customer Pumping Prohibited No attendant at any gasoline station shall permit any non-employee to pump gasoline or engage in any distribution of gasoline within the station.

(5 – 0)

COMMENT: The Select Board recommends termination of Arlington’s prohibition on self-serve gasoline with interest in Town Meeting’s collective perspective. Arlington is the only community in the area which prohibits self-serve gasoline service (gas stations may continue as full-service under the proposed revision), which poses a variety of challenges for Arlington station operators, including maintaining adequate staffing, providing security for all potential staff, and providing competitive operating hours. The proponent of the article noted that attracting and retaining attendants has been a persistent challenge. In the past, the primary concerns expressed by Town Meeting were pump operation safety, expansion of the number of pumps (or “service bays”) at gas stations and sufficient access for disabled and elderly customers. With respect to safety concerns, the Board is satisfied that a common sense assessment of the current state of gas pump technology renders stations far safer than they were in 1975 when the prohibition passed. With regard to the number of pumps, gasoline stations on Massachusetts Ave and Broadway typically operate under special permits which limit the number of service bays and place further conditions on operation. Similarly, special permits can provide an avenue for requiring full-service call buttons and setting hours of operations where attendants must be on site to assist customers, which are also generally required by the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Board believes that modern technology, in which call buttons are standard on many pumps and pump fail-safes prevent prior safety concerns merits reconsideration of this Town policy, which could expand hours of operation for local stations and ease hiring and retention challenges as well.

ARTICLE 18 BYLAW AMENDMENT/PHASE OUT OF CERTAIN TOXIC RODENTICIDES ON PUBLIC/PRIVATE PROPERTY, WITH REPORTING REQUIREMENT AND PUBLIC EDUCATION

VOTED: That Title VIII (“Public Health and Safety”) be and hereby is amended to add a new Article 12 “Use of Second Generation Anti-Coagulant Rodenticides” for the purpose of encouraging Integrated Pest Management practices and documenting the use of Second-Generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides by licensed Pest Management Professionals, as follows:

Art. 12 “Use of Second Generation Anti-Coagulant Rodenticides

Section 1. Purpose and Findings A. The purpose of this bylaw is to protect the health and welfare of Arlington, its

residents, and local wildlife, by reducing the use of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides and promoting Integrated Pest Management strategies.

B. The Town finds that it is in the best interest of public health to eliminate the use of toxic rodenticides on town land, ponds and waterways, to encourage the reduction and elimination of the use of toxic rodenticides on private property, and to introduce and promote natural organic management practices.

C. The Town further finds that second-generation anticoagulants are more likely than first-generation anticoagulants to kill non-target animals after feeding on poisoned prey or carcasses, and remain longer in animal tissues. As a result, second-generation anticoagulants pose greater risks to non-target species including pets and wildlife. Children are at risk of poisoning when coming into contact with highly toxic second-generation anticoagulants.

D. The Town finds that all its citizens, particularly children, have every right to

protection from exposure to hazardous chemicals and from rodenticides in particular.

E. The Town finds that a balanced and healthy ecosystem is vital to the health of the town and its citizens, and as such it is also in need of protection from exposure to hazardous chemicals including rodenticides.

Section 2. Definitions

The following terms shall, for the purpose of this article, have the following meanings,

unless the context otherwise requires. “Rodenticides” are a subclass of pesticides, defined under the Massachusetts Pesticide Control Act, M.G.L. c. 132B and/or 333 CMR 10.00, as substances or mixtures of substances intended to prevent, destroy, repel, or mitigate rodents that are declared to be pests by the Massachusetts pesticide board. “Integrated Pest Management” is a decision-making strategy and record-keeping process for managing pests that monitors to determine pest population levels, and combines biological, cultural, mechanical, physical, and chemical tools and other management practices to control pests in a safe, cost effective, and environmentally sound manner that contributes to the protection of public health and sustainability. It prioritizes the use of non-chemical pest control methods and the careful use of least-toxic chemical methods when non-chemical methods have been exhausted or are not feasible, and the selection of rodenticides that are the least toxic product that will be effective on a target pest. “Second-generation anticoagulant” is a rodenticide that was developed to control rodents

that are resistant to first-generation anticoagulants, including but not limited to brodifacoum, bromadiolone, difenacoum, and difethialone. “Certified applicator”, an individual who is certified under the provisions of 333 CMR 10.00 as authorized to use or supervise the use of any pesticide (including rodenticides) which is classified by the Massachusetts Department of Agriculture as being for restricted use. “Commercial applicator” is a certified applicator under the provisions of 333 CMR 10.00, whether or not they are a private applicator with respect to some users, who uses or supervises the use of any pesticide (including rodenticides) which is classified by G.L. c. 132B, the Massachusetts Department of Agriculture or any agency of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts being for restricted use for any purpose or on any land other than as provided in the preceding paragraph. Section 3. Integrated Pest Management Education

A. Both commercial applicators and the general public are encouraged to utilize Integrated Pest Management strategies on all properties throughout the Town.

B. Integrated Pest Management shall be encouraged during licensing and permitting

processes, including common victualar, demolition, and building permit application processes.

Section 4. Registration of Applicators

A. All certified and commercial pesticide applicators operating within the Town of Arlington must register with the Town of Arlington Department of Health and Human Services prior to the application of any second generation anti-coagulant rodenticides within the Town of Arlington.

B. The applicator must provide proof of licensure for each employee who will be applying second generation anti-coagulant rodenticides within the Town of Arlington.

C. The Department of Health and Human Services shall be authorized to enact regulations to effectuate this section, including a method to indicate registration by certified and commercial applicators

D. Failure to produce a Town-issued proof of registration upon request shall be considered a violation of this bylaw, subject to the penalties set forth herein.

C. Each applicator who registers shall be given a copy of this bylaw as well as any resources highlighting the dangers of second-generation anticoagulants in Arlington and benefits of Integrated Pest Management, and recommend alternatives deemed appropriate by the Department of Health and Human Services.

Section 5. Notification of Deployment of Second Generation Anti-Coagulant

Rodenticides

A. All licensed certified and commercial applicators shall provide written notification to the Department of Health and Human Services within forty-eight (48) hours any time second-generation anticoagulant pesticides are utilized or deployed for proactive or reactive pest management services in Arlington.

B. The Department of Health and Human Services is authorized to enact regulations to

effectuate this section, including processes for coordinating the other Town departments, State agencies, and commercial applicators to enable tracing placement, cleanup, and unintended impacts of second generation anti-coagulant rodenticide on non-targeted wildlife and domestic animals.

Section 6. Fees & Penalties for Non-Compliance

A. A fee sufficient to cover the costs of implementing registration, notification, and education systems may be levied by the Department of Health and Human Services.

B. Any commercial pesticide applicator who fails to register with the Department of Health and Human Services and dispenses or uses second generation anti-coagulant rodenticides in the Town without being registered shall be subject to the following penalties:

a. A fine of fifty dollars ($100.00) for the first offense; b. A fine of two hundred dollars ($200) for the second offense; c. Any subsequent failure to register paired with use of second generation anti-

coagulant rodenticide shall be punishable by a fine of three hundred dollars ($300); and/or prohibition from applying pesticides of any kind in Arlington for a period of one year.

C. Any commercial pesticide applicators’ failure to timely notify the Department of

Health of use of second generation anti-coagulant rodenticides within the Town regardless of registration status shall be subjected to the following separate penalties:

a. A fine of fifty dollars ($100.00) for the first offense; b. A fine of two hundred dollars ($200) for the second offense; c. Any subsequent failure to register paired with use of second generation anti-

coagulant rodenticide shall be punishable by a fine of three hundred dollars ($300); and/or prohibition from applying pesticides of any kind in Arlington for a period of one year.

Section 6. Severability The invalidity of any section, provision, paragraph, sentence, or clause of this bylaw shall not invalidate any other section, provision, paragraph, sentence, or clause thereof, nor shall it invalidate any determination or finding of a violation under this bylaw which has been issued. AND FURTHER VOTED: That the Town does hereby request and authorize the Select Board to file Home Rule Legislation to provide substantially as follows:

“AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE TOWN OF ARLINGTON TO PROHIBIT USE OF SECOND GENERATION ANTI-COAGULANT RODENTICIDES BY COMMERCIAL PESTCIDE APPLICATORS” Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same as follows: SECTION 1. Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, including G.L. c. 132B, the Town of Arlington may regulate through local bylaw or Board of Health regulation or ordinance the use of second generation anti-coagulant rodenticides within the Town of Arlington, including prohibiting the use of such pesticides by licensed commercial applicators as defined in 333 C.M.R. 10.00. SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon its passage.

(5 – 0)

COMMENT: The Select Board respectfully requests Town Meeting’s support for a three-pronged approach to address the many dangers posed by use of second-generation anti-coagulant rodenticide (“SGARs”) poisons to address the rodent population in Arlington:

1. A bylaw requiring licensed commercial applicators of SGARs to register with the Town and notify the Health Department when and where SGARs are deployed;

2. Special Legislation to authorized the Town to locally regulate SGARs, with the long-term goal of prohibiting SGAR use throughout the Town and promoting Integrated Pest Management solutions which rely on non-toxic methods to address infestations and permit SGARs only as a las resort; and

3. Adopt a Resolution encouraging Integrated Pest Management, discouraging SGAR applications throughout Town, but particularly for Town and School lands and buildings (set forth in Article 77.

These poisons pose a danger not only to their targets, but to wildlife, pets, and potentially humans, and have resulted in the documented deaths of wildlife throughout the Town. However, the use, handling and transportation of SGARs are regulated by state law, which almost certainly pre-empts local regulation absent the authorizing special legislation set forth in the recommended vote. As such, the Board believes the goals of this resident petition article can best served by adding a local registration and notification layer harmonious onto the existing state law, seeking authority from the State to prohibit SGARs in the future, and resolving to support and educate the public about Integrated Pest Management regardless of the Town’s regulatory authority.

ARTICLE 19 VOTE/STREET NAME “MAGLIOZZI BOULEVARD”

VOTED: That no action be taken on Article 19. (3 – 2)

Mr. Hurd and Mr. Helmuth voted in the negative.

COMMENT: The majority of the Board recommends no action on this resident petition article to have the Town designate the unnamed public way as “Magliozzi Boulevard,” in honor of the Magliozzi brothers, Tom and Ray, hosts of the nationally broadcast automobile and auto repair radio talk show, “Car Talk” on NPR. All members of the Board agree that the Magliozzi Brothers were extraordinary residents and worthy of recognition. However, the majority’s position is that Town Meeting action is not necessary to honor the Magliozzi brothers, and instead propose to refer the proposal to the public memorials committee to make a recommendation back to the Select Board as has been past practice in similar circumstances.

ARTICLE 20 VOTE/CODE ENFORCEMENT

VOTED: That no action be taken on Article 20. (5 – 0)

COMMENT: The Select Board appreciates the concerns and frustrations of the proponent of this article regarding Code Enforcement. It is important to acknowledge both such frustrations but also that enforcement and collection on enforcement actions often requires significant time and resources. Even more significantly, the Board is concerned about creating a position of this nature through a Town bylaw. The Manager is empowered and charged under the Town Manager Act with creating and dissolving positions and departments. If there are insufficient resources, the Manager addresses advance staffing needs and concerns through the budget process whenever possible, rather than having Town Meeting create new positions via bylaw, or re-assign duties and then fund such positions in a subsequent Town Meeting Cycle. Still further, some members expressed concern about creating a new position or office with an operating override on the horizon.

ARTICLE 21 VOTE/ EXTENSION OF YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULT ADVISORY BOARD, COMMISSION, OR COMMITTEE STUDY COMMITTEE

VOTED: That no action be taken on Article 21.

(5 – 0) COMMENT: In supporting the recommended action under Article 7, the Select Board believes that no action is required to extend the life of the Study Committee. However, if Town Meeting does not support the vote on the establishment of the Arlington Youth Collaborative, it is the hope of the Select Board that an extension of the Study Committee will be authorized under Article 7. ARTICLE 22 VOTE/ESTABLISHMENT OF TOWN COMMITTEE TO

EXAMINE BUDGETARY IMPACT OF OVERNIGHT PARKING

VOTED: That no action be taken on Article 22. (5 – 0)

COMMENT: While the Select Board agrees that many of the issues identified in this article require study, the Board is already engaged in much of the same work through a pilot program. Further, any study committee would be likely working across purposes with other entities (such as the Parking Advisory Committee) and projects, all of which would be making recommendations to the Select Board as the authority over parking, public and private ways. Lastly, it also bears noting that the same professional staff would likely be tasked with supporting an additional committee engaged in the same or similar work as an existing committee. ARTICLE 23 VOTE/BOARD OF YOUTH SERVICES UPDATES VOTED: That no action be taken on Article 23.

(5 – 0) COMMENT: The Select Board expects the Board of Youth Services to return this article to Town Meeting after conducting further research on the scope of necessary action before Town Meeting. ARTICLE 24 HOME RULE LEGISLATION/FINANCIAL ESTIMATES &

BUDGET DOCUMENTS

The Select Board will report under Article 24 at Town Meeting. ARTICLE 25 HOME RULE LEGISLATION/EARLY VOTING FOR TOWN

ELECTIONS VOTED: That the Town does hereby request and authorize the Select Board to file Home

Rule Legislation to provide substantially as follows:" “AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE TOWN OF ARLINGTON TO OFFER EARLY VOTING IN TOWN ELECTIONS” Section 1: Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, the Town of Arlington shall allow any qualified voter, as defined in section 1 of chapter 51 of the general laws, to vote early in person for any regular or special town election. Any voter wishing to vote early in person may do so at the time, manner, and location prescribed in this section.

(a) The early voting period shall be set by the Select Board in consultation with the Arlington Town Clerk. The early voting period shall include a minimum of three business days during the regular hours of the Arlington Town Clerk’s office, and may include additional days, so long as it ends no later than the date determined by the Town Clerk as necessary to prepare a final voting list for the polls on Election Day. At least one early voting weekday shall extend until at least 7 p.m. For any Town Election held on a weekday, at least one weekend day shall be included in the Early Voting Period.

(b) The Select Board, in consultation with the Town Clerk, shall establish an early voting site for early in-person voting under this section that is centrally-located, suitable, and in a convenient public building. The early voting site shall be accessible to persons with disabilities. The designation of an early voting site shall be made not less than 14 days

prior to the beginning of the voting period established in section (a). Notice of the early voting location, dates, and hours shall be posted in the office of the Town Clerk and on the Town’s website not less than 7 days before the early voting period begins.

(c) The voting, processing, and counting procedures for early voting ballots shall be consistent with section 25B of chapter 54 of the General Laws and the regulations promulgated by the State Secretary for the administration of early voting appearing at 950 CMR 47.00, to the extent practicable.

Section 2: This act shall take effect upon its passage. (5 – 0)

COMMENT: The Select Board requests Town Meeting’s support for this authorization to file Home Rule Legislation permitting early voting options for Town of Arlington elections as recommended by the Election Modernization Committee (“EMC”). If approved by the Commonwealth, this legislation would permit registered voters in Arlington to vote early in any regular or special Town election on terms to be set by the Select Board, in consultation with the Town Clerk.

Per the EMC’s recommendation, at a minimum, early voting hours would include:

• Three (3) business days during the Town Clerk’s regular office hours; • At least one (1) early voting day extended to at least 7 p.m.; and • At least one (1) weekend day.

The Board notes that efforts on the State level to pass a local option statute to a similar effect appear to have stalled for the time being. As such, the Board strongly supports this measure to enhance voting access and convenience in Town elections as soon as possible which should not preclude the Town from taking advantage of any local option early voting legislation at some point in the future. ARTICLE 26 ENDORSEMENT OF CDBG APPLICATION

VOTED: That the Town hereby endorses the application for Federal Fiscal Year 2023 prepared by the Town Manager and the Board of Selectmen under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (PL 93-383), as amended.

(6 – 0)*

COMMENT: This article represents the annual vote to endorse the annual application for Community Development Block Grant funds, a summary of which Town Meeting may find attached to this report. *Includes vote of Town Manager for CDBG purposes. ARTICLE 27 REVOLVING FUNDS

COMMENT: The above summary represents the annual vote to receive reports on expenditures and receipts of the various Town revolving funds and to authorize and reauthorize such funds in accordance with state law. These funds must be reauthorized annually in order to enable expenditures from them, and as such, must be included in our abbreviated Town Meeting session.

EXPENDITURES VOTED: That the Select Board approves the operating and capital expenditures proposed by the Town Manager and Parking Implementation Governance Committee and recommends Town Meeting’s endorsement of the votes of the Finance and Capital Planning Committee’s respectively.

(5 – 0) COMMENT: Pursuant to Title I, Article 11 of the Town Bylaws, “Parking Benefit District Expenditures,” proposed Parking Benefit District Operating and Capital Expenditures are prepared by the Town Manager and the Parking Implementation Governance Committee (“PICG”) before submission for endorsement by the Finance Committee and Capital Planning Committee respectively; and subsequently Town Meeting. The Select Board approves the Manager and PICG’s proposal to the Capital Planning and Finance Committees and urges Town Meeting’s support as well. ARTICLE 73 RESOLUTION/TRUE NET-ZERO OPT-IN CODE FOR

CITIES AND TOWNS VOTED: That Town Meeting hereby resolves as follows:

A True Net Zero Opt-In Code for Massachusetts Towns and Cities WHERAS,

A. Global warming is an existential planetary crisis. B. On June 2, 2021, Arlington’s Town Meeting adopted a resolution declaring a climate

emergency and calling for an immediate urgent mobilization to protect the climate, reducing the pace of warming and slowing down ecological collapse to the maximum extent possible. Among other things, the resolution committed the town to use all of its influence to encourage climate action by other government authorities including the state in order to support rapid greenhouse gas reductions. This is important not just for the environment but the economy as well. In December 2021, the U.S. Financial Stability Council reported to Congress that climate change was an “emerging threat” to the United States financial system.

C. Global warming is not only an environmental issue, or even an economic one. It is also a profound moral issue. Almost every disaster brought about or exacerbated by climate change disproportionately affects the poor and marginalized. This is true on a global scale, but also within countries, and states, and towns and cities. As the Climate Emergency Resolution approved by Town Meeting in 2021 stated: “the marginalized populations in Arlington, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and worldwide, including people of color, immigrants, indigenous communities, low-income individuals, homeless persons, and people with disabilities, are already disproportionately affected by climate change, and will continue to bear an excess burden as temperatures increase.”

D. There is no time to lose. Global warming is not a future catastrophe. It is here already. It is causing hurricanes, fires, floods, and droughts. The sea is rising as polar ice melts. Massachusetts is not immune from any of this. Indeed, reports in early 2022 suggest that the consequences of global warming are more severe in New England than they are elsewhere in the United States. As science writer Bill McKibbon puts it, “If we don’t act quickly, and on a global scale, then the problem will literally become insoluble.” Or, more simply, “winning slowly is the same as losing.”

E. The fight against global warming requires action at every level. We must act globally, but we must also act locally.

F. Massachusetts has adopted legally binding policies for achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This target is unattainable without a radical reduction in fossil fuel use in the Massachusetts building sector. Emissions from buildings account for 27% of greenhouse gas emissions in the Commonwealth, a contribution that is second only to the transportation sector.

G. In March 2021, the Massachusetts Legislature enacted the Next Generation Road Map on Climate Change, reasserting the Commonwealth’s commitment to leadership in the fight against global warming. Among the many features of that legislation was the requirement that the Department of Energy Resources (DOER) develop an opt-in specialized stretch building code aimed at achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in buildings. This provision was passed by a large majority in the legislature, despite an earlier veto. A strong code will give towns and cities that choose to adopt it – hopefully the great majority - the tools they need to achieve their own net-zero objectives in a timely way. A weak code, however, will not only be ineffective in itself but also stand in the way of stronger actions at the local level. The “net zero

stretch code” provided for in the Road Map is a critical step in the Commonwealth’s strategy to meet net zero by 2050.

H. DOER must promulgate an opt in specialized stretch code by late December 2022. It is required to engage in extensive public consultation, including at least 5 hearings within 18 months after the Roadmap becomes effective. The hearings must be held in various locations in the state, including urban, suburban, and rural settings, and at least one hearing must be held in an underserved community or one with a high percentage of low income households. As of January 2022, DOER had not published a draft code or conducted any of the required hearings.

I. Arlington has been a leader in the fight against global warming. In December 2020, it became the second town in the Commonwealth to enact a “Clean Heat” Bylaw limiting the adoption of fossil-fuel infrastructure in newly constructed buildings and major renovations. That bylaw requires approval by the state legislature through a “home rule petition” because it is thought to be preempted by the existing state building code. The necessary legislation has been filed and subjected to a hearing, but it has not been reported out of committee. In the absence of the Clean Heat bylaw approved by Town Meeting, new construction and major renovations in the town have continued to install fossil fuel infrastructure, usually for natural gas, frustrating the Town’s net zero policy

J. In early 2021, the town adopted a comprehensive Net Zero Action Plan that called for strong action to control building emissions in the town and ensure that the town will achieve net-zero in the building sector by 2050. And in November 2021, Arlington was a leader in organizing 30 Massachusetts municipalities to encourage DOER to adopt a strong, true net-zero stretch code.

K. Adoption of a strong opt-in specialized net zero stretch code is essential if Arlington is to achieve the net zero objectives that its residents need and demand.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY TOWN MEETING OF THE TOWN OF ARLINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS,

1. Town Meeting calls upon the DOER to promulgate a true net-zero opt-in building code that will allow towns that are willing to do so to pursue aggressive policies in controlling greenhouse gas emissions in the building sector in order to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 or before. In this connection, Town Meeting considers a net-zero building to be an all-electric, highly energy-efficient building that uses renewable sources to generate at least as much energy as it uses each year, so that operations are carbon neutral and emissions of embodied carbon are minimized.

2. The Net Zero Opt-In Code must cover both commercial and residential construction and both new construction and major renovations.

3. The Net Zero Opt-In Code must -- a. Achieve energy efficiency by prescribing leading standards, such as Passive

House, New Buildings Institute, or Living Building standards, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions operational expenses, and grid load.

b. Require primary heating/cooling and other systems to be 100% electric. c. Require buildings to be powered by 100% renewable energy, which can

be on- or off-site, generated or purchased, providing associated grid and other emissions are fully offset.

d. Effectively address the challenge of minimizing embodied carbon in the use, production and transportation of building materials.

e. Require appropriate monitoring, disclosure, and correction to ensure that buildings systems are operating as designed.

f. Require the selection of low-impact refrigerants and refrigerant recycling (prohibiting disposal) to limit ozone depletion and carbon emissions.

g. Ensure that any exemptions are narrowly defined, fully justified and last only as long as the justification exists. Waivers, if any, should be available in limited instances, based on a clearly defined process.

(5 – 0) COMMENT: The Select Board joins the Clean Energy Future Committee (“CEFC”) in seeking Town Meeting’s support for support for a Resolution that would call for the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (“DOER”) to promulgate a true Net-Zero Opt-In Code that will better allow municipalities, like the Town of Arlington, to aggressively pursue policies to control greenhouse gas emission in the building sector related to projects involving new construction or significant renovation. The Board looks forward to a member of CEFC providing further education for the Meeting and the public about forward-thinking ways our community and state can take action on climate change. ARTICLE 74 RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE MASS. FAIR

SHARE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT VOTED: That Town Meeting hereby resolves as follows: WHEREAS, the best way to build a stronger economy for all of us is to make sure that we have quality public schools for our children starting with pre-K continuing through affordable public higher education, and a reliable transportation system; and WHEREAS, students need a well-rounded education, founded on a rich and varied curriculum that includes science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), music, art, and athletics; and WHEREAS, the COVID-19 pandemic has only heightened the need for major investments in pre-K through 12 education to help students get on track academically, socially, and emotionally; and WHEREAS, tuitions and fees at our public colleges are among the highest in the country, and too many students are forced to take on debt that may take years for them to repay and that may consequently limit their ability to afford good housing, raise a family, and otherwise spend and participate in our economy; and WHEREAS, for Massachusetts to compete against other regions around the nation and the globe, we need modern, reliable transportation and safe ways to drive, walk, and bike; safe public transportation that works, and safe roads, bridges, tunnels, and sidewalks; more climate resilient transportation options; and WHEREAS, we have a large backlog of neglected and structurally compromised bridges, tunnels, roads, and public transportation infrastructure in need of repair; and

WHEREAS, now more than ever to lift our economy into an equitable and long-lasting recovery we need new investments to fix our transportation system and improve our public schools, make public higher education affordable again; and WHEREAS, our Commonwealth’s highest-income residents—who have seen their collective net worth rise dramatically in recent years—pay the lowest percentage of their annual earned income in state and local taxes, and have the ability to pay more for the investments we need to build a strong economy; THEREFORE, let it be resolved that the Arlington Town Meeting supports the proposed Fair Share Amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that would create an additional predictable, annual tax of four percentage points on annual income above one million dollars and dedicate the funds raised by this tax to quality public education, affordable public colleges and universities, and for the repair and maintenance of roads, bridges, and public transportation.

(5 – 0) COMMENT: The Select Board strongly recommends this resolution to Town Meeting to consider support the “Fair Share” Constitutional Amendment. While the Board is mindful that neither the Select Board nor Town Meeting can or should weigh in on every statewide ballot question, it is the Board’s overall view that this particular issue merits the opportunity to locally amplify residents’ consideration of the important issues at stake. In brief, the Massachusetts Constitution prohibits a graduated income tax, and as such, all residents regardless of income level pay the same overall tax rate. The Fair Share Amendment however proposes to amend the state constitution to specifically create an additional tax or “surtax” of four percentage points on the portion of an individual’s annual income above $1 million. Funds from the surtax would be earmarked specifically for “quality public education and affordable public colleges and universities, and for the repair and maintenance of roads, bridges and public transportation.” All Massachusetts voters will have their opportunity to vote directly on this proposal on the November 2022 statewide election ballot. However, the Board believes that this specific measure is of both statewide and local concern. Thus, in addition to holding the personal support of many Board members, the Select Board as a body unanimously and enthusiastically supports the use of Town Meeting for public education and forum for discourse on this ballot question. ARTICLE 75 RESOLUTION/COMMITMENT TO INCREASE

DIVERSITY IN TOWN APPOINTMENTS

VOTED: That Town Meeting hereby resolves as follows:

WHEREAS, Arlington is deeply committed to the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and building a community where everyone is heard, respected, and protected; and

WHEREAS, the Select Board has shown its commitment to identifying and eliminating barriers to access and engagement with the goal of bringing unheard voices to the table by

supporting the Town Manager’s creation of a DEI division and by voting to support and approve a Community Equity Audit: and

WHEREAS, the Select Board recently voted to approve a reprecincting map which included the specific goal of increasing the diversity of Town Meeting; and

WHEREAS, the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Division has identified barriers of outreach, engagement and education that inhibit applicants from underrepresented groups from applying for open position on our public bodies: and

WHEREAS, the Town is committed to being more welcoming and an important component of that is making the Town’s public bodies more accessible to, and representative of, the full diversity of Arlington’s residents; and

WHEREAS, increasing the diversity in teams adds new perspectives and experiences that have been shown to increase problem solving, innovation, productivity and personal growth;

BE IT THEREFOR RESOLVED, that the Arlington Town Meeting votes to deepen Arlington’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion; and

BE IT URTHER RESOLVED, that Town Meeting urges and invites the Town’s appointing authorities to prioritize and center the communal goal of increasing the diversity of Town boards and committees by intentionally working to identify and break down barriers, such as education, engagement and outreach, that inhibit applicants from underrepresented groups from applying for positions on Arlington’s public bodies and to commit to appointing qualified applicants from underrepresented groups to fill openings such that the Town’s Boards and Committees reflect the diversity of Arlington residents including race, ethnicity, color, religious views, national origin, sex, gender identity or expression, citizenship, age, sexual orientation, disability, housing tenure, military status and other forms of diversity.

(5 – 0)

COMMENT: The Select Board unanimously supports this resident submitted resolution and seizes the opportunity to reaffirm the Board’s continuing commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in all Town matters. The Board unanimously supports this resolution and hopes that it leads to an increase in applicants and appointments of persons from underrepresented groups to Town committees and boards. ARTICLE 76 ALEWIFE BROOK IS A VALUABLE NATURAL

RESOURCE VOTED: That Town Meeting hereby resolves as follows:

WHEREAS, the Alewife Brook in East Arlington is a valuable natural resource area for Arlington residents, but degraded by sewage contaminated discharges from the Combined Sewer Outfalls (CSO) from the MWRA, Cambridge, and Somerville; and

WHEREAS, the MWRA, Cambridge, and Somerville, are in the late stages of completing required benchmarks directed by a series of Court Orders known as the “Boston Harbor Case;” and

WHEREAS, despite meeting many benchmarks and improving water quality in the Boston Metro Area, the Somerville CSO is not yet in compliance and the Alewife Brook is not sufficiently meeting water quality standards following CSO events; and

WHEREAS, contaminated waters from the Alewife Brook can flood onto Arlington lands and houses; and

WHEREAS, the MWRA, Cambridge, and Somerville are required to submit action plans to address these concerns and renew their water quality variance with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (“MA DEP”) and other state and federal regulatory authorities;

THEREFORE; Town Meeting declares the Alewife Brook to be a valuable natural resource deserving of equal commitment to rehabilitate and restore to the highest water quality standards feasible for wildlife, resident abutters, and recreation; and

FURTHER, that Town Meeting also resolves to encourage and support all Town officials in engaging the MWRA, Cambridge, Somerville, and the Department of Conservation and Recreation as well as state and federal regulators, legislators, and officials to garner the actions necessary to eliminate CSO discharges into the Alewife Brook and render the Brook a safe resource to live near and beautiful water resource to enjoy for the public.

(5 – 0)

COMMENT: The Select Board strongly urges Town Meeting’s support for this resolution (advanced by “Save the Alewife Brook” organization) which would declare the Alewife Brook as a valuable natural resource, and urge Town officials to engage the Massachusetts Water Resource Authority (“MWRA”), Cambridge and Somerville decision makers, as well as Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (“MADEP”) and Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) regulators to take further actions to reduce, and wherever possible eliminate Combine Sewer Outfall (“CSO”) discharges into the Alewife Brook.

In short, CSOs – events in which heavy rains or other saturations result in sewage being directly released into waterways from combined sewer and storm water pipes rather than funneling through wastewater treatment infrastructure – have historically been a serious source of local and regional water pollution. The MWRA, along with municipal sources of CSOs like Somerville and Cambridge were charged under orders from the federal court with eliminating or significantly reducing CSO discharges and their negative impacts on water quality. While the MWRA has been highly successful in meeting benchmarks and requirements set by the Court over the course of thirty five years, it has not eliminated CSO discharges entirely or ensured that every body of water meets state and federal water quality standards. This is especially true for the Alewife Brook, which experienced significant CSO discharge events in recent years even as the MWRA closed many of its CSO sources and completed infrastructure improvements as directed.

Given continued water quality problems in the Alewife, the MWRA, Somerville and Cambridge are still required to maintain “variances” for state and federal water quality standard deficiencies from MADEP. The current variance extension runs through August, 31, 2024, but the process for seeking further variances begins this year. The MWRA, Cambridge and Somerville must issue an updated “Long Term Control Plan,” which will ultimately require MADEP’s review and approval to extend the variance beyond August of 2024. The Control Plan sets forth both what the MWRA, Cambridge and Somerville believe they must continue to work on, and how they believe they can make progress. The Board strongly believes that this resolution is helpful to supporting Arlington’s demand that CSOs be sufficiently addressed in the Alewife and that water quality standards are met such that the Alewife can be enjoyed by wildlife and the public without exposure to dangerous levels of bacteria and other contaminants. ARTICLE 77 RESOLUTION/ ESTABLISHING AN INTEGRATED PEST

MANAGEMENT POLICY FOR TOWN LAND, PROHIBITIONS, AND PUBLIC EDUCATION ABOUT RODENTICIDE HAZARDS

VOTED: That Town Meeting hereby resolves as follows: WHEREAS, Town Meeting wishes to protect the health and welfare of Arlington, its residents and visitors, and local wildlife, by reducing the use of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides and promoting Integrated Pest Management strategies; and WHEREAS, second-generation anticoagulants are more likely than first-generation anticoagulants to kill non-target animals after feeding on poisoned prey or carcasses, and remain longer in animal tissues; and as such, second-generation anticoagulants pose greater risks to non-target species including pets and wildlife, and children are at risk of poisoning when coming into contact with highly toxic second-generation anticoagulants; and WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of public health to eliminate the use of toxic rodenticides on town land, ponds and waterways, to encourage the reduction and elimination of the use of toxic rodenticides including on Town-owned properties, and WHEREAS, the Town finds that a balanced and healthy ecosystem is vital to the health of the Town and its residents and visitors, and as such it is also in need of protection from exposure to hazardous chemicals including rodenticides, including and especially on Town-owned and managed properties; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

A. Town Meeting urges the Town and all its property-holding or managing entities, including departments, commissions, boards and other subdivisions, to introduce and promote natural organic management practices known commonly as “Integrated Pest Management” for the remediation of rodent infestations; and further

B. The Town continue its current work to develop and implement an Integrated Pest

Management Policy and/or set of practices with the goal of eliminating use of second generation anticoagulant rodenticides by or on behalf of municipal property owning or managing entities; and further

C. The Town engage in public education and outreach efforts about the benefits of Integrated Pest Management policies and practices on Town-owned land and in general.

RE: 2022 Annual Town Meeting and Special Town Meeting

Dear Select Board Members,

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and in consultation with Arlington's Director of Health & Human Services, I request approval to conduct Arlington’s Annual Town Meeting and Special Town Meeting therein, scheduled to commence April 25, 2022, through remote participation. I propose to use a combination of: (1) the Zoom videoconferencing platform, and (2) an online queuing and voting platform developed by ZPato Research of Lexington to facilitate the process of debate.

I certify that, with the assistance of Select Board members Lenard Diggins and Eric Helmuth, and members of Town staff, all components of the system described above have been tested and I am satisfied that this system will enable our meetings to be conducted in substantially the same manner as if they had occurred in person at a physical location. I certify that the system (i) allows the moderator, town meeting members, town officials and any other interested members of the public to identify and hear the moderator and each town meeting member who attends and participates in the remote meeting, as well as any other individuals who participate in the meeting; (ii) provides the ability to determine whether a quorum is present; (iii) allows participants to request recognition by the moderator and makes such requests visible to the meeting participants and the public; (iv) allows the moderator to determine when a town meeting member wishes to be recognized to speak, make a motion, or raise a point of order or personal privilege; (v) enables the moderator to recognize a town meeting member, town official or other individual and enable that person to speak; (vi) provides the ability to conduct a roll call or electronically recorded vote; (vii) allows any interested members of the public to access the meeting remotely through ACMi for purposes of witnessing the deliberations and actions taken at the town meeting; (viii) allows members of the public to participate in debate through the submission of statements for or against a motion; and (ix) provides for the town meeting to be recorded and available for future viewing. I further confirm that I am satisfied with my predecessor's consultation with Arlington’s Disability Commission regarding system accessibility. For accessibility purposes, the platform presents the same user experience as last year’s version, but I will be in consultation with the commission in the coming days out of an abundance of caution.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at your convenience.

Sincerely

Greg Christiana

(Director of Planning) Re: Petition Signatures in Support of the Mass Ave Vision Zero campaign in Arlington

__________________________________________________________________________________

To the esteemed members of the Arlington Select Board: On behalf of the EALS Coalition, I am writing this letter for inclusion into the formal record of the April 4, 2022 Select Board Meeting. The Coalition requests the Select Board to address the issues and concerns raised below related to pedestrian and bicycle safety along Mass Ave. These issues have been framed within our Mass Ave Vision Zero campaign and petition, signed by 544 individuals, including 466 Arlington residents (see enclosure for names). The goal of Mass Ave Vision Zero is the elimination of fatalities for all users of Arlington’s de facto Main Street. As you know, in less than ten years, two pedestrians and a bicyclist have been killed by automobiles on Mass Ave. For a Town that prides itself on its sense of community and high quality of life, these three fatalities should be considered unacceptable. Besides containing our three primary business districts, Mass Ave sees thousands of children walking, biking, riding the bus, and being driven to school on a daily basis. It’s for these reasons that the recently-adopted Connect Arlington Plan highlighted the need to improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists on Mass Ave. Our group, the 466 Arlington residents who signed the petition, and likely hundreds of others whom we were not able to reach, hope the Town will move quickly to ameliorate the hazardous conditions along the avenue. We implore the Select Board to make Mass Ave a safer, more-accessible, more-comfortable street for all residents and visitors no matter their transportation mode, age, or physical ability. We know that fixing a roadway that runs for more than three miles through Arlington cannot be done overnight. We hope the Town will consider a phased approach to enhance safety and accessibility on Mass Ave in the short, medium, and long term. Our preliminary recommendations include: Short-term Improvements (<2 years, by the end of 2023)

• Enhanced crosswalks at non-signalized intersections or mid-block o Priority 1: Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs1) at 3-4 lane segments of Mass Ave (12

locations) o Priority 2: RRFBs at 2 lane segments of Mass Ave (12 locations)

1 RRFB cost estimate: $20,000-$30,000 per crosswalk; can reduce pedestrian-involved crashes by 47%, per FHWA Proven Safety

Countermeasures: https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/provencountermeasures/rrfb.cfm

• Elimination of bicycle lane gaps2 o Dundee Rd. to Sunrise of Arlington (650’) o Burton St. to Brattle St. (1600’) o Coleman Rd. to Schouler Ct. (900’) o Schouler Ct to CVS crosswalk, upgrade to separated bike lanes to protect riders from busy AHS drop-

off zone (650’) o Sunapee Rd. to Rt. 16 (250’)

• Installation of 20-50 new bicycle racks3 • Study to determine opportunities to improve bus service via transit signal priority, queue jumps, and

enhanced bus stops with shelters and benches (cost TBD)

Medium-term Improvements (2-5 years) • Lane re-allocation to improve safety for motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists (two travel lanes, median left

turn lane, bike lanes, and refuge islands at all crosswalks) o Priority 1: from Bartlett Ave. to Rt. 60 (cost TBD) o Priority 2: Franklin St. to Harlow St. (cost TBD)

• Rebuild of Mass Ave/Appleton intersection w/ new signal equipment (cost TBD) • Elimination of bicycle lane gaps

o Lexington Town Line to Dundee Rd. (900’) o Bartlett Ave. to Rt. 60 (1800’) o Appleton St. to Burton St. (275’)

• Implementation of improved bus service via transit signal priority, queue jumps, and enhanced bus stops (shelters, benches, and amenities)

Long-term Improvements (5-10 years)

• (Worst-case) Rebuild of Mass Ave/Appleton intersection w/ new signal equipment (cost TBD) • Mass Ave rebuild and streetscape enhancements from Rt. 60 to Franklin St. (cost TBD) • Elimination of bicycle lane gap: Swan Place to Pond Lane (1200’)

We recognize the need to overcome a variety of challenges to implement this phased Vision for Mass Ave. While funding is always a primary concern, all of the short-term and most of the medium-term improvements are intended to be relatively low cost, likely totaling less than $1 million. Also, closing the bicycle lane gaps will require restricting parking to one side of Mass Ave but fortunately, the impact will be blunted since none of the gaps feature storefront businesses on both sides.

We look forward to hearing about the next steps in the process. Thank you,

Phil Goff and Chad Gibson, Co-chairs Everywhere Arlington Livable Streets (EALS) Coalition ealscoalition@gmail.com

MASS AVE VISION ZERO

Ensuring pedestrian and bike safety from Arlington Heights to Cambridge

While Massachusetts Avenue provides a link for drivers, bus riders, pedestrians, and bicyclists, the road has proven deadly for the latter two modes and MUST be fixed. 

The goal of the Mass Ave Vision Zero campaign is to move elected and appointed officials to ensure that every block of Mass Ave is safe for all users.

 

Whereas:

‐ Two pedestrians and one bicyclist died on Mass Ave after being struck by automobiles (in 2013, 2015 and 2020, respectively) with others seriously injured,

‐ More than 3,000 children use Mass Ave to access Arlington High, Ottoson Middle, Arlington Catholic, and the Gibbs School on foot, by bike, by bus, and by car, 

‐ All three of Arlington’s primary business districts rely on Mass Ave to provide access for customers and employees,

‐ The recently approved Connect Arlington Plan explicitly identifies the need to improve pedestrian/bike safety along the length of Mass Ave, and;

‐ Mass Ave provides active transportation connections to the Minuteman Path, the Alewife Greenway, and protected bike lanes in North Cambridge.

Therefore, the Town of Arlington must make Mass Ave a safer, more‐accessible, more‐comfortable street for all residents and visitors no matter their transportation 

mode, age, or physical ability. Mixing ‘quick build’ improvements with a vision for longer‐term redesign of key segments, the Town should follow these four principles:

1. Designated crosswalks shall be made safe using more pedestrian‐friendly traffic signals and median islands, bump outs, improved ligh ng, and flashing beacons at 

unsignalized intersections

2. Striped bike lanes–ideally separated/protected from traffic–shall be incorporated with green pavement markings through busy intersec ons and plen ful bike racks from 

end‐to‐end 

3. Bus service should be faster and more reliable with priority bus lanes and queue jumps, more bus shelters and–a er coordina on with the MBTA–enhanced service

4. On‐street parking must priori ze short‐term customer parking (not employees or residents) without compromising safety for people walking, bicycling, or using 

mobility devices. 

We, the undersigned, support the principles above and call for the Town of Arlington to fulfill the Connect Arlington Plan and expedite planning and fundraising to ensure 

implementation of the lower‐cost, ‘quick build’ safety features on Mass Ave prior to June 30, 2023.
