Ms. Borges suggested that a committee be put together to determine where the funds should go. Mr. Duarte reminded everyone that prior to February of this year the Mayor's Worthy Cause was separate from the City finances. Motion by Ms. Borges and seconded by Mr. Martin to adjourn at 5:46 PM So voted.

Mr. Sanders thanked Attorney Gay for providing two versions. Ms. Dooner said that she is fine with either version. Mr. Sanders expressed concern that the Committee requested one small thing and the Law Department provided a lot more changes to the language in the Golf Commission. Attorney Gay stated that at the same time this came up in Committee, other discussions were happening and the intent was not to take power away from the Council. Mr. Sanders invited Judy Chambers into the meeting. Ms. Chambers expressed some concerns. Mr. Sanders suggested that the Ordinance should reference the inaugural selection of committees for the Council golf course representative. Mr. Duarte thanked Attorney Gay for providing two versions. He stated that he would not have an issue with the Mayor making the appointment to be confirmed by the Council as this is consistent with other boards and commissions and is realistic.  Ms. Borges said she is alright with the Mayor making the appointment to be confirmed by the Council but suggested that language be added regarding the appointment at the time of the inauguration. She stated that in sections 10-37, 10-37, 10-38, and 10-39 the Council has been removed from any control of the golf course. She suggested that anywhere it says "Mayor" it should say "Mayor and Council". She noted that she has seen the Council lose control over the last 4 years. Mr. McCaul agreed with Ms. Borges and suggested that appointments should include a resume. Ms. Borges noted that anyone interested in serving on a board or commission can complete an application on the website. Mr. Sanders stated that he shares Councilor Borges' concern about the Municipal Council losing their role and he would prefer to see the Ordinance maintain the Council's role in appointing these positions. Mr. Duarte stated that he believes the most important thing is the Council approving the RFP for the manager of the Golf Course. The City Council has very little to do with the day to day operations. He thought that the language clarifying the procurement for the manager of the golf course was helpful. Mr. Duarte noted that if resumes are to be required that should be a universally applicable policy. Motion by Mr. Duarte and seconded Ms. Dooner to move version 2 with the appointments by the Mayor and confirmed by the Council and retaining the one councilor as a member to a first reading with additional language about it aligning with the inauguration choice. Ms. Dooner stated that she is fine with this since the Council has full authority to not approve the Mayor's appointment at any given time. Mr. Pottier stated that if resumes are to be required, the intent is good but it might be better to require a list of qualifications in letter form with the mayoral appointment. Ms. Borges agreed that a list instead of a resume would be better. Ms. Postell stated that if the intent is to start requiring resumes that the best option might be a letter of intent or interest. He noted that he wouldn't want to deter anyone since it is nice to see residents interested in public service but believes a letter might be more suitable. Councilors Dooner and Duarte voted yes. Councilor Sanders was opposed. So voted, 2-1. Motion by Mr. Duarte and seconded Ms. Dooner to adjourn the meeting at 6: 18 PM So voted.

Meet to discuss the proposed conveyance by Taunton Development Corporation to the City of Taunton of various "odd lots" within the Myles Standish Industrial Park. Attorney Gay explained that back when he was still the City Solicitor there were a few parcels of land within the Industrial Park that were not buildable and that needed to be transferred to the City. The City agreed in principal but there were some issues at the time. They needed to be cleaned out and so forth. Bob Field put together plans for the parcels. Mr. Cornaglia and Mr. Abreau put together a plan of what needed to be done and the work was completed. A title exam was completed and they drafted a deed. There are 4 different parcels altogether. Mr. Pottier asked ifthe parcels are contiguous and Attorney Gay stated that they are contiguous to the streets. He stated that they parcels are not buildable. Most have drainage pipes, etc. There are 20 acres in total. Mr. Cornaglia stated that this is important to the drainage that is there and needs to be maintained. Motion by Mr. Duarte and seconded by Ms. Dooner to make the plans part of the record. So voted. Ms. Borges asked if there is a guarantee that these parcels will not be developed and Attorney Gay confirmed. Motion by Mr. Duarte and seconded by Ms. Dooner to accept the conveyance ofproperties from the TDC and they remain unbuildable. Ms. Dooner noted that the deed does not restrict development and Attorney Gay stressed that these are not buildable lots. So voted. 3. Update and discussion on 745 John Hancock Road. Mr. Pottier began by first noting that this was discussed in the Public Property Committee in August of 2023 when it was voted to issue an RFP for potential use. He explained that due to Proposition 2 Yz the City can only increase the tax levy by 2 1/2 % while inflation has risen by 3% annually thus widening the gulf between revenue and expenses. He further noted that Taunton had a cut in local aid from $12 Million to $8 Million in 2008. Mr. Pottier stated that the bond rating recently increased and the rainy day fund has been increased. Still, he noted, there are future challenges. In August, CFO Dello Russo showed a forecast with a deficit beginning in FY27 and the City is looking at ways to meet the challenge. Mr. Pottier discussed other revenue streams such as solar arrays and also the MPP (Marketable Properties Program). 20% of the properties in the MPP have gone to open space. The John Committee on Public Property September 17, 2024 Page2of6  Hancock parcel was voted to go out for RFP. Mr. Pottier explained that originally this parcel was purchased for $2.8 Million for consideration of a solid waste solution. He discussed the commercial tax rate ($24.50) vs. residential tax rate ($11.00). Mr. Pottier noted that this is a unique sized parcel where much of the land is contiguous to the rail line. He indicated that he appreciates the concern of the residents and stated that they are looking at ways to use properties to limit impact to residents and drive income. Mr. Dello Russo stated that the City is in the middle of a process to complete its due diligence for this property. He explained that TMLP might be interested in the property and that tonight would be premature to take action as all the facts are not yet on the table. He asked that no action be taken until he can come back with all the information. Mr. Pateakos stated that they have had several meetings with TMLP and there are a number of businesses coming into the Industrial Park that TMLP electrical cannot sustain and they will need to build a substation. He said that he would like to continue the discussion with TMLP about this. Mr. Pottier stated that he would like to think that the substation would have limited impact on residents and he would like to continue the dialogue. Ms. Dooner requested that if a substation is the avenue that the City is considering, when the team comes back they should bring more information on size, noise, exact location, and the impact on wildlife. Mr. Duarte suggested that it's a courtesy to entertain TMLP's proposal and it is a significant issue to the City if power for the Park is an issue. The City's revenue relies on the Industrial Park Mr. Duarte stated that financial issues faced by the City are not because of mismanagement but are due to cyclical issues affecting municipalities across the state. Expenses are rising faster than revenues. Mr. Postell asked what information goes into this process and what information they need. Mr. Dello Russo stated that they received information that TMLP might be interested in the site and they are looking for additional time to come back with more information. They always look for interest and gage the types of use that are best suited. Neighbor concerns are considered. Following any vote to surplus, any development would go through Site Plan review, Planning Board, and sometimes the Special Permit process. Mr. Postell emphasized that all the properties are different and sometimes they need to be cautious. Mr. Pateakos stated that this is rare industrial land. Generally they look at sites, think of who has reached out before, who is looking for industrial land and he will reach out and tell them that there is land available. Mr. Pateakos noted that Research and Development can have little impact. Life sciences is also in demand. Mr. Postell stated that he wants to be sure that they are being open minded as this impacts the people, the environment, and so on. Mr. Martin stated that he appreciated amount of people who have reached out and assured them that this is not being taken lightly. Committee on Public Property September 17, 2024 Page 3 of6  Mr. Dooner requested that they dive into how sounds from a substation might impact wildlife in the area. Mr. Quintal stated that it seems like TIV.[LP might be one of the best options right now. He requested that discussions with TMLP be fast tracked so the residents can breathe easier and can know what is coming. He was also interested in a study on cancer impacts. Mr. Quintal asked when they could come back and Mr. Dello Russo suggested that they come back in 30 days to give an update on where they are. Mr. Sanders stated that the property was scheduled for auction on Thursday at one point. Mr. Sukeforth indicated that the RFP for a similar parcel, the Prince Henry parcel, went out for 60 days with no results and they often change strategies. The internal strategy was to put it out to auction and gain some interest. When they heard from TMLP, they took down the auction. Mr. Sanders asked ifthe Council takes no action today ifthere are options that would no longer be available. Attorney Gay said that he believes they will be in the same spot in 30 days that they are in this evening. Ms. Borges asked when TMLP first expressed interest in this property and Mr. Pateakos stated that Jim Howland had talked about the potential needs of the TMLP in the Park, including a substation, probably a year ago. Discussions for this specific site probably began a couple months ago if not longer. Ms. Borges asked why it went out for auction if the TMLP had interest. She stated that she believes that the MPP is a great program but she thinks that this should be reconsidered and perhaps even make it conservation restricted. Ms. Borges stated that she would like to see if the City Council surplussed this, can it be un- surplussed. She indicated that she watched the video of the original meeting and at that time Mr. Sanders stated that money isn't everything. Ms. Borges indicated that she is really starting to take a look at these MPP properties and there have been issues with 3 of them. She also suggested that TMLP doesn't need 39 acres of land but likely needs about 1 acre. Ms. Borges stated that she voted for the RFP, not an auction, and only heard about the TMLP recently. She indicated that her stance has completely changed since a year ago. Mr. Dello Russo stated that it goes to strategies and to means and methods. He stressed that the MPP is not just about one time money, it's also permanent tax revenue. Mr. McCaul stated that his stance has changed as well. He noted that a couple of weeks ago he was invited to go to a neighborhood meeting. He suggested that the Council should have been told about TMLP before. He stated that it should be brought to conservation as recommended by Ms. Borges. Mr. McCaul stated that the Council needs to make a decision tonight. He stated that the land is precious land and that the Council needs to protect the community. Mr. Postell asked how much the City spends sending properties to auction and Sukeforth stated they spent zero but the commission was 10% if sold. Mr. Postell asked if it is common to put something out there to auction just to entice and then to bring it down and Mr. Sukeforth stated that it has been done. Mr. Della Russo stated that it is free advertising and expands the interest pool. Committee on Public Property September 17, 2024 Page4 of6  Motion by Mr. Postell and seconded by Ms. Dooner to open public input. So voted. Ms. Boucher expressed concern with high health risks associated with substations including links to increased risk of childhood leukemia. Mr. Gracia expressed concern with a substation and cancer and the impact on the wildlife. Mr. Mros stated that the industrial park had the best rating in the State because of the open space, the way it's laid out, and the good companies. It's a good place and that's what brings in the good companies. Ms. Hoye stated that decisions are coming at the expense of the community's future. She suggested the City not sell the property. But, in the absence of that, the Council should require a comprehensive plan that includes financial projections, environmental information and public health information. She stated that this is a vital green buffer that they cannot afford to lose. Ms. Carr stated that if the Council approved this to go to an RFP and not an auction, she would consider this to be insubordination to the Council. She believes that any large piece of land should be done with an RFP. Ms. Carr suggested that the people who are making decisions on what to do with the land should be people who live here. She requested that the Committee vote to remove this parcel from the MPP. Mr. Fitzgarald stated that originally the documents for the auction had errors and inconstancies and he feels it was rushed. He noted that during the July 18, 2023 meeting there was talk about the tax yield and it seemed to be a discussion about the entire parcel. Mr. Harding stated that the buffer zone is to protect the residents in the event that something devastating happens like a chemical spill, flood, or fire. Without the buffer zone the residents will be left vulnerable. Mr. Pemberton stated that this does not impact the employees or their families. He has been in real estate for 35 years and an auction is not to generate interest but it is to sell the property Mr. Speciale stated that a couple years ago they lost all the woods behind them to a new neighborhood and lost trees to Fore Kicks. Ms. Kotkowski stated that there are no sidewalks and the last building has a humming sound coming from it all day long. Mr. Fitzsimmons stated that this this piece of property should have been made conservation land a long time ago. His understanding is that this parcel was originally owned by TMLP and they decided they weren't going to use it so sold it to a person in Norton for $35,000. It was declared industrial property and then the City paid $2.8 Million to buy it back. Committee on Public Property September 17, 2024 Page5 of6  Ms. Mosher stated that the purpose of the MPP is for "blighted or unused" properties. She stated that in earlier meetings, it was said that this was easy money and a no-brainer. She would like this to remain open space. Motion by Mr. Postell and seconded by Ms. Dooner to close public input. So voted. Mr. Pottier said that he would like to consider this and come back at a later date. Motion by Mr. Postell and seconded by Mr. Martin to remove this from surplus and restrict it to conservation. On a roll call, Councilors Martin, Postell, Duarte, and Dooner voted yes. Councilor Pottier voted no. The motion passed, 4-1. Motion by Mr. Duarte and seconded by Ms. Dooner to adjourn at 8: 10 PM So voted.
