WALSH ARSENIO CHAVES Telephone: (508)821-1471, Ext. 3014 Facsimile: (508) 828-9315 www.achaves@tauntonpd.com Honorable Shaunna O'Connell, Mayor and Municipal Council City Hall 15 Summer St Taunton MA, 02780 02/07/2022 I received a request from Councilor Coute and the City Council to check on speeding and speeding enforcement in the area of 110 Highland Street. I placed the Black Cat II radar traffic recorder on the phone pole in the area of 110 Highland Street. The Black Cat II radar traffic recorder collects data from bi-directional traffic counts to volume and speed. This unit is designed to be discrete to motorists with no obstructions or signs. The unit captures accurate speed and traffic data. I placed the Black Cat II at 110 Highland Street on 2/1/2022 at 1:46 PM and removed the unit on 2/5/2022 at 1:20 PM. The posted speed limit in that area is posted at 25 MPH. The unit detected 11, 190 vehicles with an average speed of 24 MPH. The highest speed detected was 50 MPH with the lowest speed at 7 MPH. I have attached the entire report with this letter. I also looked into the volume of motor vehicle crashes in the area. I found that there have been 7 motor vehicle crashes in the area between 106 Highland Street and 135 Highland Street dating back to 2017. At this time I could not find any evidence that there is an issue with speeding in the area of 110 Highland Street.

CITY SOLICITOR February 7, 2022 Council President Phillip Duarte Members of the Municipal Council City of Taunton City Hall 15 Summer Street Taunton, Massachusetts 02780 Re: "Review Matters in File" as agenda item Dear Council President Duarte and Members of the Municipal Council: This letter is in regards to "review matters in file" as an agenda topic. The Law Department is providing this opinion in response to questions presented by several councilors after "review matters in file" did not appear on recent committee agendas. This legal opinion does not relate to whether "review matters in file" is placed on an agenda; rather, it is about the appropriate scope of discussion under said agenda item if it appears on the agenda. Under the Open Meeting Law public bodies must list the topics to be discussed in their meeting notices. The topics listed must be sufficiently specific to reasonably inform the public of the matters to be discussed at the meeting. Based on the above standard "review matters in file" is not sufficiently specific to serve as a public notice of discussion of any matter in particular. Therefore, it cannot be used as a placeholder to bring up for discussion any topic that happens to be on file with the committee. Page 2 February 7, 2022 Council President Phillip Duarte Members of the Municipal Council Re: "Review Matters in File" The only purpose that "review matters in file" can serve, by itself, is to provide notice that the committee will literally review what is in the file for the purpose of scheduling future meetings. If the matters in file are not identified on the agenda, there can be no substantive discussion of such matters other than to refer them for discussion at a future meeting. If the matters in file are actually listed out on the agenda then the committee would have the right to discuss any or all of them at its meeting in compliance with the Open Meeting Law. Therefore this would be the best approach because it would allow the committee to have a discussion as to the matters in file beyond just deciding whether to schedule them for a meeting. Even a decision to table a matter requires some discussion of the substance of the matter and therefore it is recommended to list the matters on file when this subject is on the agenda. Thank you for the opportunity to provide this legal advice.

The Council as the appointing authority must schedule a hearing to address the potential termination of this employee. Under the Civil Service law the Municipal Council may designate a hearing officer to hear the appeal. A hearing with the Committee of the Council as a Whole acting as the hearing officer satisfies the procedural requirements of the Civil Service law, with said Committee's recommendation to be confirmed by the Municipal Council. I am respectfully requesting that the Council vote to refer this matter for an executive session hearing with either the full Council or the Committee of the Council as a Whole as soon as reasonably possible. Please note that under both the Open Meeting Law and the Civil Service Law, the employee is entitled to have this hearing in executive session unless he opts for an open session .

Attached please find copies of the previously approved Host Community Benefits and Pilot Agreement and Option Agreement with Aries Taunton, LLC. These are the same documents that were previously approved by the Municipal Council on December 29, 2020 (Option Agreement) and February 9, 2021 (Host Community Benefits and Pilot Agreement). They were subsequently signed. Therefore, the Inspector General's office requested that we consider issuing a request for proposals on sludge disposal. As you may recall, we initially took the position that the City had in fact already complied with procurement requirements via an earlier Request for Information and Qualification (RFIQ) in conjunction with the Special Act which provides for procurement of services relative to wastewater residuals associated with the treatment plant. However, after further review we agreed to request proposals as suggested by the Inspector General's office. The only proposal received was Aries Taunton, LLC and it was the same proposal as previously Page 2 February 10, 2022 Council President Phillip Duarte Members of the Municipal Council Re: Aries Taunton, LLC submitted with the same material terms for a Host Community Benefits and Pilot Agreement, and a separate Option Agreement. The Inspector General's office has recently reviewed the steps we have taken with the Request for Proposals and the response submitted by Aries Taunton, LLC, and did not find any deficiencies with the same. Because the RFP and response have not resulted in any necessary changes to the existing Agreements, no new vote is needed to alter the previously approved documents. Therefore, our understanding is that Aries Taunton, LLC will proceed under the existing signed Agreements as it proceeds with the state licensing/permitting process. The next step in this process will be for Aries Taunton, LLC to proceed with its applications for the necessary state permits and licenses as may be necessary to operate the proposed facility. If Aries Taunton, LLC obtains its required licenses and permits then a Lease Agreement will be presented to the Municipal Council for approval in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement.

Aries and the City each may be referred to as a "Party", and collectively as the "Parties". RECITALS WHEREAS, Aries has conceived a singularly attractive and environmentally sustainable opportunity within the City of Taunton, Massachusetts for a biosolids processing and gasification facility (the "Project") on a site located within, and owned by, the City (the "Site"); and WHEREAS, the Parties expect that neither the Project nor the Site will be subject to property tax; and WHEREAS, the Parties expect that the Project will receive an average of approximately 430 tons per day ofbiosolids. WHEREAS, to the extent that the Project may be subject to personal property tax, the Parties acknowledge that M.G.L. c. 16, § 24B provides a mechanism for the payment of a volumetric fee by the operator of a privately owned residual waste treatment facility in lieu of such property tax; and WHEREAS, Aries is willing to provide the City certain upfront payments, fees and other financial benefits in consideration for the City's hosting and support of the Project; and NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 1. Aries Upfront Payment. Aries shall pay the City an upfront payment in the amount of Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000) no later than five (5) days after the closing of non-recourse financing providing Aries sufficient funds for the construction and commissioning of the Project (the "Financial Closing"). 2. Sewer Capacity Reservation Fee. Aries shall pay the City an upfront sewer capacity reservation fee in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) no later than five (5) days after the Financial Closing (the "Sewer Reservation Fee"). The Sewer Reservation Fee shall be credited against the Project's future sewer reservation fee capacity payment obligations.  3. Tipping Fee Revenue Sharing. No later than March 1 each year, Aries shall pay the City an amount equal to three and nine tenths percent (3.9%) of the tipping fee revenues collected by the Project during the preceding calendar year (the "Tipping Fee Revenue Share"). Aries shall provide substantiation of such tipping fee revenues reasonably requested by the City. 4. Volumetric Fee in Lieu of Property Tax. The Parties agree that the Tipping Fee Revenue Share paid to the City with respect to a particular year, divided by the number of tons of residual waste received by the Project during such year, shall constitute payment of a volumetric fee as contemplated by M.G.L. c. 16, § 24B. 5. Cooperation. The City shall on a best-efforts basis support Aries in securing all state and local permitting required for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Project. 6. Project Development; Exclusivity. (a) The Parties acknowledge that Aries may terminate its development of the Project for any reason, or for no reason at all, in its sole and absolute discretion. In the event that Aries decides to terminate development and financing efforts relating to the Project, Aries shall promptly (within five (5) business days after making the decision), deliver to the City written notice of such decision (the "Project Termination Notice"). (b) The City hereby agrees that until the earlier of the (i) termination of this Agreement or (ii) receipt of the Project Termination Notice, the City shall not lease or sell its property to any other entity for the purpose of the development, construction and operation of a biosolids processing facility. (c) Aries commits to charging the City a tipping fee for City-generated biosolids no greater than that charged to any other customer of Aries providing biosolids to the Project. 7. Termination. This Agreement will terminate upon the expiration or termination of the lease to be entered into by the City and Aries for the Project site or, if earlier, upon the delivery of a Project Termination Notice. Either Party may terminate this Agreement if the other Party is in material breach of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within sixty (60) days following receipt of notice from the non-breaching Party. 8. Miscellaneous Provisions. (a) Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties, shall supersede any other oral or written agreements, and shall be binding upon successors and assigns. No amendment or modification to this Agreement shall be valid or binding on the Parties unless made in writing and signed on behalf of each of the parties by their respective duly authorized officers. (b) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision and term of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner to be effective and valid; however, if any provision or term of this Agreement is held to be prohibited or invalid, then such provision or term shall be 2 ' ' ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or affecting in any manner whatsoever the remainder of such provision or term or the remaining provisions or terms of this Agreement. (c) Waiver. The failure of either party to enforce, at any time or for any period, any provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision or of the right of such pal ty thereafter to enforce such provision. (d) Assignability of Agreement. Neither Party may assign this Agreement or any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that Aries may assign this agreement to any affiliate of Aries that directly assumes full responsibility for the entire development and financing of the Project. In the event Aries assigns its rights to pursue the Project to a third party, Aries will use its best efforts to ensure that such third party also assumes the obligations of Aries under this Agreement; provided, however that such action will not release Aries of its obligations hereunder without the City's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that their respective obligations hereunder shall survive a change of control of either Party. (e) Notices. Any notice, request, demand, instruction or other communication given to either Party hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or sent overnight by Federal Express or other professional carrier, in each instance to the Parties at the addresses set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement and shall be deemed given when delivered, if delivered personally and twenty-four (24) hours after having been deposited with Federal Express or other professional carrier, if so sent. Either Party may, at any time, change the address to which future notices shall be sent by written notice given in accordance with this Section. (f) Survival. Sections 7 and Section 8 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason. (g) Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict oflaw principles. Exclusive venue for any litigation related to the Agreement shall be the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
