Dept. of Elder Affairs
Nicole Taub, Chief of Staff explained the Department of Elder Affairs provides our senior population
with invaluable services. Sharmila Biswas, Director and her team continues to make sure this
population is supported and in contact with. Sharmila even found someone who will provide exercise
classes on video.
The Department of Elder Affairs FY2021 Budget request is $330,558.
Sharmila Biswas, Director stated we give our elders programs and services to help live a healthy
lifestyle and enhance and enlighten the life they have right now.
Councilor Sciascia stated this is a very lean budget. Is it enough to get done what you need to?
Sharmila Biswas replied yes this budget along with grant money should be adequate.
The following questions were also asked by members:
• What additional expenses do we anticipate, in terms of cleaning and cleaning supplies, once the
Senior Center reopens?
Our building is maintained through the Town’s Facilities Department, including staffing the
Center with a full time custodian. A thorough cleaning was performed after we closed to the
public and we are working with Facilities to make sure that all of our custodial needs will
continue to be met when we reopen. There is currently a supply of sanitizing spray and wipes
available for use at the Center and we do not anticipate any costs beyond those budgeted.
• Is the State grant that will be supporting part of the Service Coordinator’s salary guaranteed?
While the grant is not guaranteed, it is unlikely that all of the funding will be eliminated in FY21.
We have worked closely with our representatives to ensure funding for our program and have
been in contact with them regarding FY21. The money we receive is Federal grant money that
flows through the state and is referred to as the “Formula Grant.” The amount received is based
on the number of seniors we have (as reported in the 2010 Census) and is currently funded at $12
per senior. With the upcoming census, we are expecting the number of seniors in our community
to increase, which could balance out any reduction in the per person value of the funding.
• Are we incurring any savings now, as a result of not using the building, that we can carry forward
into FY 21?
Yes, we have incurred savings in various areas including Administrative Salaries (due to partial
funding by the grant), office supplies, copier/toner, social activities, outside motor vehicle
repairs, gasoline, building repairs, telephone and natural gas. A total of $10,000 will be
transferred to support the Town’s final supplemental budget request for FY20.
• Mileage (54101-5711) – what does this cover?
In addition to grant funding, this line supports travel to/from meetings, outreach visits and
deliveries to residents.
All members thanked Director Biswas for all she does for our elder population.
May 18, 2020 Ways & Means Committee 3 of 13
Municipal Licenses & Inspections
Nicole Taub, Chief of Staff explained the Department of Municipal Licenses & Inspections is run by
Director Marybeth McGrath. The time this pandemic is taking up is quite unexpected as we started the
calendar year 2020. The health department and the building department and those working under
Director McGrath’s leadership have both gone above and beyond on behalf of the residents of this
community. Her team is making sure businesses have information as we move forward with re-
opening of establishments.
The Department of Municipal Licenses & Inspections FY2021 Budget request is $1,080,778.
Marybeth McGrath, Director stated I have both the Health Division and the Building Division. At this
time we are involved in a serious communicable disease of COVID -19 pandemic that is keeping us
pretty busy.
Councilor Sciascia asked is this budget enough to get done what you need to?
Marybeth McGrath stated in these times we have to make do with what we have. I’m sure everyone
would like more positions added to their department.
Councilor Boericke, Chairwoman of the Committee of Ways & Means asked about Substance Use
earmarked funding.
Marybeth McGrath stated Lyn Frano, Substance Use Coordinator helped approve this budget with the
knowledge we will not be receiving this additional funding in FY2021.
The following questions were also asked by members:
• ADA Coordinator position had a nearly 30% increase over LY budget (pg. 55). In the budget detail it
is showing a 12% increase, which also seems significant compared to all other positions. Can you
please clarify the discrepancy between the budget and the salary detail as well as the large percent
increase?
During FY20, the position was upgraded from part time to full time and the additional funding
was transferred from other programs within the Municipal Licenses and Inspections budget to
support the change. [See Council Order No. 19 045—December 3, 2019]. Additionally, the FY20
salary includes a step increase effective after 6 months in the position. In FY21 the position is
being reclassified to include additional responsibilities in code compliance. These duties will
supplement the services performed by the building inspector. In previous years, the Department
had 2 full time building inspectors; however, in order to make necessary reductions, the second
position has not been filled and the FY21 budget includes partial funding for the position in the
event that we are able to staff it at a later date.
• $82K is budgeted for Substance Use (pg. 56). I am assuming this is the Coordinator’s salary, but
nothing was budgeted nor expended in FY 20. What changed from last year?
This program was previously maintained within the Mayor’s Office budget. This is the first year it
will be managed under Municipal Licenses and Inspections.
May 18, 2020 Ways & Means Committee 4 of 13
• Pg 54--Comm on Disabilities--Why has the entire FY2020 budget been dropped into Printing/Forms
for FY2021?
It was moved into that line item to pay for the recording secretary, who prepares the meeting
minutes from the audio recording, which average a minimum of $ 80.00 each to prepare. If the
Commission needs other items, including postage or supplies, they are funded through the
Admin program in the Municipal Licenses and Inspections budget.
• Pg 56--Substance Use Prevention--Why does there appear to be no budget for 2020? Why is the
requested budget for FY2021 roughly 13% higher than 2019 expenditures?
This program was previously maintained within the Mayor’s Office budget. This is the first year it
will be managed under Municipal Licenses and Inspections.
All members thanked Director McGrath for all she does for our town.
Planning and Community Development
Nicole Taub, Chief of Staff explained the Department of Planning and Community Development is run
by Director Christine Stickney. Her staff works with residents and local business owners looking to set
up shop here in town. She is actively preparing to oversee the development of a Master Plan. This will
be in the goal of the residents in mind as well as the Mayor’s office.
The Department of FY2021 Budget request is $620,674.
Christine Stickney, Director stated our department is responsible to oversee 5 boards including: Zoning
Board of Appeals, Planning Board, Conservation Commission, Community Preservation Committee and
the Historical Commission. 28 of these board members are volunteers. We have 5 full time
employees.
Councilor Sciascia stated this is a very lean budget. Is it enough to get done what you need to?
Christine Stickney stated I am. I will look at more grant opportunities that we can avail ourselves to so I
am satisfied with this budget.
Councilor Sciascia asked about the 50% cut in the Historical Commission monies. I have great concerns
in cutting that area. The repercussions of that cut could be significant. I hope we can go back and find
funding for the Historical Commission.
Christine Stickney stated the Historical Society can also apply for CPA funding.
Councilor Flaherty stated I have a deep appreciation for the Historical Society. I am hoping the town
will help them find ways to continue the funding for them.
Councilor Connors stated I agree with the funding for the Historical Society be increased.
May 18, 2020 Ways & Means Committee 5 of 13
Councilor Ryan stated I echo what other members said about putting back Historical Commission
funding. One great thing about Braintree is our history. If the Mayor’s office can put those funds back
into the budget that would be great.
The following questions were also asked by members:
• What was the $5K in Climate Change intended for? I see nothing expended YTD in FY20.
This is correct to date there has been no expenditure – the funds have been put in a purchase
order and earmarked as part of the Town’s local match to the Watson Park bank restoration
project. The local match (Town’s portion) is $20,000 total. An additional $5,000 has been
earmarked from another operating account and the balance of $10,000 has been requested in
the Capital Budget. The funds have not been expended because the project is presently
undergoing the various local, state and federal environmental permits for their comments to be
worked into the design. Work is estimated to be completed by the fall of 2021.
• $2,500 for Monatiquot Dam: what is the intention of those funds? Why has nothing been expended
YTD for FY20?
This is correct to date there has been no expenditure—The funds have been put into a purchase
order along with other funds for payment to Milone and MacBroom consulting. Information
about the project can be reviewed online at
https://braintreema.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5565/Monatiquot-River-Update-May-
2020?bidId=
• Consultants (01-17507-5305) $40K budgeted but we have not come close to meeting that over the
prior three years. What do we expect to change in FY21 to incur the full amount of this budgeted
request?
This line item has been used in the past to pay approximately $21,000 (half of the cost of the
Geographic Information Service (GIS) consultant). The GIS consultant maintains and revises the
current Town GIS system as new information becomes available. In addition, the consultant has
assisted in special projects including requested mapping, land calculations and other GIS requests
of the Planning/Community Development Office and land use boards that we serve. The
remaining funds have varied over the years as to use – they have been used as local matches to
grants such as MAPC (regional planning agency) and for Direct Local Technical Assistance
(Landing zoning, Ivory Street Corridor and Life Science Corridor studies). In addition, funds have
been used to have appraisals performed for land acquisitions by the Town. Also, funds have
supplemented year round internships as needed and Special Projects such as the clean-up of
Eaton’s Pond from the homeless encampments and illegal dumping. Funds have also been used
to supplemental larger projects such as architectural design - the universal accessibility of the Old
Thayer, Union School and Town Hall schematic design proposals that could not be covered by use
of CPA funding.
In addition having these funds assists our effort to seek grants for whatever becomes available
throughout the year through use as a Town match – these funds allow the department flexibility
to answer a grant solicitations with low costing local matches and having the funding availability
May 18, 2020 Ways & Means Committee 6 of 13
has also allowed the Town to obtain grants that we would have not made the submission
deadline if we were to require a further appropriation. Grant applications that can demonstrate
available local matches tend be looked upon more favorably than applications that have to seek
funding.
• Can we please have an explanation from Director Stickney or Ed on the 18th about how the CPA
fund works? I know it can be used for affordable housing, open space and historic preservation, but
it would be helpful to understand Braintree's strategy in using this funding. It looks like we have
significant unused funds, why?
See a summary of CPA funds taken from the Town’s current bond disclosure report.
The 7 member Community Preservation Committee (CPC) reviews the applications submitted by
organizations, individuals and other boards/commissions. As a recommending body they do not
initiate the applications they review and instead recommend appropriation to the Town Council.
Annually the CPC holds a public meeting, duly advertising that funds are available, for public to
attend; however, because of the current situation with COVID this has been delayed. In addition,
there is a CPC website that provides the application and the information on past projects up until
the last year – it has not been updated to include FY19 and 20 projects.
• Pg 26--Administration--Your expenditures in Planning Admin are quite different year to year. Can
you explain what this line item covers and why expenditures vary so widely?
The use of this line is fairly broad and has varied from year to year to cover general operation
expenses of the Department. Prior purchases include office furniture, file cabinets and a recorder
for taping meetings. Additionally, it has been used to purchase manuals, including land use and
ITE traffic manuals, a 21E at the Allen Street property and a Parking Study of Town squares.
• Pg 28--Conservation--What does the part-time ranger do?
We have two rangers that work 3 hours each a week. They walk the conservation lands, keep the
trails cleared of any down limbs and they collect any trash on the properties. They also keep
watch on activities including identifying deer stands for illegal hunting or homeless
encampments. There is approximately 460 acres of lands under the custody and care of the
Conservation Commission.
• Pg 28--Conservation--Why do you have $2500 budgeted for the Monatiquot Dam when you have
no history of expenditures there?
See above. This project has been underway and the funds will be expended at a later date.
• Pg 28--Conservation--Please explain why the budget for the two line items for Vegetative
Treatment seems to be going up, when expenditures are going down. This same trend is evident in
the line item for Trees Fertilizing/Pest.
Our Department is responsible for the lake and pond treatment for both Sunset Lake and Eaton’s
pond to assure the vitality of these two environmental resources. Without the treatments they
would become choked with weeds because of their shallow depth and eventually kill the areas of
vegetation and species. The treatments are done annually (usually in July) in portions of each of
the water bodies because we don’t have enough funds to do them in their entirety each year.
May 18, 2020 Ways & Means Committee 7 of 13
The Tree/Fertilizing/Pest line takes care of some key vegetation including the great oak across
from Town Hall in the rotary behind the Library as well as other areas of tree plantings that were
done by the past administration to care for the trees in these areas around Town. We work the
department of public works for certain key vegetation to ensure everything is cared for properly.
• Pg. 30--Economic Development--Why is the requested budget for consultants more than double any
recent expenditures?
See above.
• Pg. 30--Economic Development--Have you moved costs for Life Science somewhere else?
In consultation with the Mayor’s Office, the decision was made to not fund this program. The
Department’s regional participation was not yielding any quantified results for the Town and we
no longer belong to the Life Science Corridor.
• Pg. 30--Economic Development--Costs for Data Processing seem to have dropped substantially since
2018. Can you explain that, and also, why you have kept your budget request more closely in line
with 2018 expenditures?
In prior years the Town moved to a centralized purchase process for equipment including
computers, printers or plotters per the direction of the Mayor’s Office. This coming year our
computers are slated for replacement as is the plotter in our office. The current equipment is 4-5
years old and we have set aside funds to replace at least one item in FY20. We also pay the
annual service plan for the plotter, which increases annually, out of this account. The plotter
allows us to produce plan size printing for maps and plans and is one of two owned by the Town.
Without the plotter, we would be required to utilize a third party vendor for these services,
which would be more costly.
• Pg. 32--Historical Commission--Why are costs for consultants so much higher than expenditures?
The Historical Commission is charged with maintaining the historical inventory for the Town’s
Historic resources and submission to the Massachusetts Historical Commission. This type of work
is done by a historical preservation architect to validate and research a Form “B” that is
submitted to the state. In addition this line item has been used to hire a consultant for the
enlargement of the central local historic district and the Commission has desire to create other
historic districts throughout the Town. The Braintree Historical Commission (which is not the
Braintree Historical Society nonprofit) is a town commission that meets once a month
throughout the year and their expenditures are fairly low.
• Regarding the cutting in half of the historical society reimbursement I was told that "the Town
intends to work with the Historical Society to identify other means of support that can be provided".
My follow-up question is: has that been done and what will the town do to support the historical
society. Also, I really think this is not an area that should not be cut so dramatically.
The Town is considering other services it can provide to the Historical Society, including for
example assistance with maintenance of the grounds through DPW (rather than using a third
party vendor). Additionally, the Historical Society may be eligible for CPA funds to support their
May 18, 2020 Ways & Means Committee 8 of 13
operations. This has been suggested in the past, but the Society has not submitted an application
for consideration.
All members thanked Director Stickney for her continued work for our town.

Chairwoman Boericke asked if anyone would like to speak on Order 20 039.
Christine Stickney stated CPC funding can be used in a number of “buckets” as: Community Housing,
Historical Resources, Open Space and an undesignated reserve which can be a combination of those and
some recreational if it meets the criteria. The Committee recommends the appropriation of the funds
which Town Council then needs to approve. The state typically matches funding. This year we got
approximately $539,000 from the state. We carry about $8.1 million balance on the books. An applicant
would come before the CPC committee, who votes on this and then presents it to the Town Council. We
then assist the applicant in its project with procurement and other requirements.
A request for a new roof from the Historical Society would be allowed funding from the CPC.
