Old South Meeting House, Washington St

Recap: Town Council recognizes 100th birthday, FHS Unified Basketball team, grants TIF for Plansee, approves 6 contracts

Quick recap:

• Margaret (Peg) Simpson was recognized for her 100th birthday. The FHS Unified Basketball Team was recognized for the Special Olympics Gold medal
• The elections workers for the Sept primary and November election were approved. Early voting will be available the week before the Sept 6 State primary. All voting will be held at Franklin High School. The Council also approved resolutions approving for the police security coverage and other election details per recent legislation
• The Elks Riders presented a donation of $1000 for Veterans Services
• The Old South Meeting house expression of interest results were reviewed. The Council consensus was to proceed with an RFP for residential use with covenants to keep the property affordable, maintain the historical exterior and give priority to Franklin residents. The Town will prepare such paperwork to bring back to the Council for approval before putting it as a public offering
• After a contested discussion, the Council approved tax increment financing (TIF) for Plansee USA LLC to expand their current location. Lack of understanding of the process and purpose of the TIF incentive apparently drove the discussion. The TIF financing is limited to specific industrial zones but the Council can expand it if they chose to do so. Vote was 7-2 for the TIF
• The process of accepting the Davis Thayer School was formally started by the Council. The deed paperwork will proceed. Eventually a committee will be selected to determine the best use of the site
• A "friendly 40b" application process was developed by the Town and presented to the Council for their review and understanding
• The five year fiscal forecast was not yet ready for sharing but given the current inflation effects, it is anticipated that the FY 2023 budget will be difficult to complete as funded. An example was touted as the SNETT trail work put out to bid was expected to be in the $200K arena, the bids received back ranged from $300K to 800K. Stay tuned, we'll help to keep an eye on this inflation effect during the year as it could have major implications for future budgets
• The Council entered executive session to discuss the status of contract negotiations and returned to open session to approve 6 contracts. Apparently with an increase of 2.5% which highlights that the School Committee's approval of 4% increases for the teachers contract is an issue to be worked as things progress

School Committee votes to accept new 3 year teacher contract

The School Committee met mostly in Executive Session, and in the brief public session voted to accept the negotiated teacher contract terms with the Franklin Education Association (FEA) for the period September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025.

The meeting portion of this recording should start at about 2:00 minutes with the announcement of "recording in progress". After they enter executive session via roll call, the recording stops and the wfpr.fm broadcast resumes.

You can listen to the broadcast, or skip ahead to 37:42 when they return from open session. Current Asst Superintendent Lucas Giguere provides some updates on key speaking points:

• interest based bargaining to reach 3 year agreement
• 4 percent increases to the salary grid for years 1, 2 and 3 
• elementary teachers got an increase from 30 to 40 consecutive minutes for prep time
• middle and high school teachers got a daily advisory period for purposes of consistent application of social and emotional curriculum
• department heads and directors will formally participate in the teacher evaluation process
• language around course approval and limitations to that
• also bereavement language around coverage for family members that may not be art of a traditional family such as step parents or partners

In the roll call vote Dave Callahan abstained, all other committee members voted for and when asked by the Chair, Town Administrator Jamie Hellen voted no. So this is new, I have not heard of our Town Administrator participating with the vote of the school committee. 

I'll record it as 6-0-1 (7 members, 6 for, 1 abstain) all via roll call.

Town Council approves FY 2023 budget; which restores 2 DPW positions and provides what Schools asked for (audio)

FM #808 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 808 in the series. 

This session of the radio show is the two part audio recording of the Franklin, MA Town Council FY 2023 Budget Hearing #2 conducted on Thursday, May 26, 2022. All nine members of the committee were present. 

The budget hearing closes after discussion around the Cultural Council budget resolving to not doing anything now. The budget does get trued up in November before the tax rating hearing in December 2022.

The farmers market license for LaCantina was approved.

The legislation for action covered the procedural votes for the budget. The vote on the Town Clerk salary (also a discussion item from Wednesday) was tabled until the June 8 meeting. The other budget items passed by 9-0 votes.

The Council then voted to enter the first of 2 executive sessions, not to return to public meeting. The first session was going to be chaired by Mercer. The second by Vice-Chair Dellorco as it was concerning the Schmidt property and Mercer has been recusing himself from those discussions.

The total approved operating budget for FY 2023 is $142,391,586 

• adds back the two DPW positions cut during the FY 2022 budget

• gives the Franklin schools the amount they asked for

The meeting runs 1 hour.
