Enos DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF BUDGET DIRECTOR August 5, 2022 Council President Phillip Duarte Members of the Taunton Municipal Council 15 Summer Street Taunton, MA 02780 Dear Council President Duarte and Members of the Taunton Municipal Council, Last week, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced plans to provide communities with updated information on the potential risks posed by air emissions of ethylene oxide (EtO) from commercial sterilizers. The EPA is conducting outreach to share their efforts to address these potential future risks and is working on a proposed air pollution regulation to further protect public health by addressing EtO emissions at commercial sterilizers. As the City of Taunton does have a business in the Myles Standish Industrial Park which utilizes commercial sterilizers, the EPA will be conducting outreach specific to Taunton residents and businesses located nearby. It is important to note that EPA analysis indicates that the air near such businesses does not exceed short-term health benchmarks. However, the EPA concern is that a lifetime (70+ years of consistent daily) exposure to EtO emissions could possibly have a long-term health impact if current emission levels are not re-evaluated and reduced. EPA is working with businesses to take appropriate measures to proactively reduce emissions so as to minimize any potential risks in the future. The EPA has created a website with detailed information about EtO emissions (epa.gov/EtO) and will be hosting a national public webinar on August 10, 2022 from 8:00PM to 9:30PM and a local webinar for Taunton and Norton on September 13, 2022 at 7:00PM. For further information, please refer to the EPA website or to our City website (taunton-ma.gov).

ROTH, JR., AICP Executive Director August 3, 2022 Honorable Mayor Shaunna O'Connell Municipal Council President Phillip Duarte Taunton City Hall 15 Summer Street Taunton, Massachusetts 02780 RE: Leonard School Redevelopment Proposal Dear Mayor O'Connell and Members of the Municipal Council: OECD has been working on a proposal for the redevelopment of Leonard School. After reviewing various development concepts, we believe that a Cottage-Style Development would be an ideal use of the property. Cottage Developments are referenced in the Master Plan as a needed housing type. Traditional Cottage Developments are built at garden apartment densities but provide single-family units designed around a common area and shared parking. They are popular with singles, couples, single parents, and retirees. In order to make sure the City gets the development that is envisioned, it is recommended that a Request for Proposal (RFP) process be used versus auctioning off the property to the highest bidder and having no control over what is ultimately built. This way the City can determine the development style, density, and amenities we want to see. We believe this process will bring a redevelopment of the property that would be an asset to our City and would fit harmoniously into the neighborhood. OECD would like to meet with Municipal Council to discuss the concept, and request approval to move forward with an RFP process. A draft RFP is attached. If you have any questions or require additional information please contact me. Sincerely, ~-----()~~ William D.

Enos DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF BUDGET DIRECTOR August 5, 2022 Council President Phillip Duarte Members of the Taunton Municipal Council 15 Summer Street Taunton, MA 02780 Dear Council President Duarte and Members of the Taunton Municipal Council, The Finance Department would like to update the Council on the MUNIS software conversion as we have reached the first of many milestones. As you are aware, Mayor O'Connell has implemented a number of policies and procedures designed to place the City of Taunton on a path of financial stability, predictability and success. Investing in MUNIS software is an important step in the Mayor's plan. The City Auditor has uploaded the new and improved Chart of Accounts into the MUNIS portal. This allows for all future trainings and configuration sessions to have actual City of Taunton data. This was a major step forward for the Finance Team, and we would like to thank the City Auditor for his efforts. Furthermore, all of the necessary training sessions for relevant personnel have been planned and scheduled through December 2022. We are proud of the continuous progress we are making every day to improve our finance operations and modernize our procedures. Respectfully, 'PaJM-Jc .lluLo ~, :zi. ut I Patrick D.
