Memorandum
To: Norman Khumalo, Town Manager
From: Jay Guelfi
Re: Parks & Recreation Seasonal Summer Clinic Directors, Assistant Directors and
Coaches; 20(B) Disclosures
Date: May 17, 2023
The purpose of this memorandum is to recommend the hire of 9 School Department employees
as municipal employees for the Parks & Recreation (P&R) Department summer sports clinics.
Because these individuals hold positions with Hopkinton Public Schools, the Town's Human
Resources Department has consulted with Town Counsel. In order for these school department
employees to be able to work as seasonal P&R summer staff, the following conditions set forth
below must have been satisfied and to date have been met:
• The second job must be with a completely independent agency, department, or board (in
this case, Parks & Recreation.) The individual may not participate in or have official
responsibility for, any of the activities of the second agency, and the first agency (the
School) must not regulate the activities of the second agency. This condition has been
satisfied.
• The P&R department is required to advertise each of the seasonal positions publicly.
Human Resources advertised these positions, on behalf of Parks & Recreation, on
February 17, 2023. Employment Applications were submitted to HR and selections were
made, in cooperation with Human Resources, by the P&R Director.
• The individual must complete a Section 20(b) Disclosure Form after P&R has selected
them for a seasonal position. These forms are included with this memorandum.
• The form requires certification by the P&R Director that no P&R employee is available to
perform the services as part of their regular duties. It also requires the approval of the
Select Board. I have certified this condition on the attached 20(b) Disclosure Forms.
Select Board approval is being requested for the May 23, 2023, Select Board Meeting.
• The P&R role must be performed outside of the regular working hours of the first
position. I am confirming that all work for the P&R positions will be performed no earlier
than June 1, 2023, in accordance with the Seasonal Certification with the Division of
Unemployment Assistance.
• The services performed in the P&R roles may not be part of the employee's duties in the
School Department position. This condition has been satisfied by confirming with the
School HR Department.
• The employee cannot be compensated in the seasonal position for more than 500 hours
annually. I am confirming that hours will not exceed 500.
Parks & Recreation Seasonal Summer Clinic Directors, Assistant Directors, and Coaches;
20(B) Disclosures
Page Two
May 17, 2023
Once the approval of the Select Board is obtained, these forms will be filed with the Town Clerk.
Based on the above information, the Human Resources Department recommends the following
individuals be hired for these Seasonal Summer Sports Clinics:
1. Thomas Keane - Basketball Clinic Program Director
2. Jean Cann - Track & Field Clinic Program Director
3. Michael Greco - Basketball Clinic Assistant Director
4. Mark Sanborn - Basketball Clinic Coach
5. Gregory Romanko - Basketball Clinic Coach
6. John Golden - Basketball Clinic Coach
7. Chancey Gaudette - Basketball Clinic Coach
8. Mikayla Pucci - Basketball Clinic Coach
9. CaIli Korbey - Basketball Clinic Coach
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

quality, and for active and passive open space; created more recreational opportunities
for a variety of age groups; and conserved additional natural resources and view sheds
that help define the rural quality that is characteristic of much of the town.
Pursuant to the powers granted to the Board of Selectmen by Section 3-1 of the Town Charter,
the Board of Selectmen hereby charges the Trail Coordination and Management Committee
(TCMC) as follows:
PURPOSE: The Town has a wealth of open spaces available for public enjoyment, and various
public and private entities that work concurrently to provide and maintain public trails. The
purposes of the TCMC are:
● To be advisory to the Board of Selectmen and serve as an “umbrella” over the various
entities,
● To coordinate trail planning, management and maintenance,
● To coordinate the planning of trail networks,
● To provide a sounding board for residents and others with respect to trails, and
● To function as a liaison between the Board of Selectmen and the public and private
entities which work to provide, manage and maintain public trails.
The TCMC will serve as a reference point for trails groups and the public, foster a user-friendly
and open/transparent process, establish branding, promotion and public education, foster
community engagement, and achieve sustainability. The TCMC will support and facilitate a
coordinated approach to trail planning and management, comply with town plans, rules and
regulations, and ensure the implementation of Town Meeting votes, adopted plans, regulations,
regulatory decisions and board/committee actions.
CHARGE: The TCMC will:
2
1. Make recommendations to the Board of Selectmen, the Town Manager, and other boards,
committees and organizations relative to the planning, development, implementation and
management of a townwide trail network and connections to regional trail networks. Areas
of consideration shall include public safety, environmental impacts and environmental
resources, financial impacts, public access and use, accessibility, sustainability, and
mitigation of impacts to abutters.
2. Advise the Board of Selectmen as to the management of specific parcels of land under the
care, custody and control of the Board of Selectmen.
3. Participate in the preparation and implementation of the Town’s Open Space and
Recreation Plan, pursuant to the requirements of the Mass. Dept. of Conservation and
Recreation.
4. Establish a transparent process for managing problems and conflicts; encourage
cooperation in addressing problems and conflicts; manage problems and conflicts and seek
solutions.
5. Make recommendations to the Board of Selectmen and the Town Manager as to the
measures necessary and appropriate to maintain and administer the townwide trail system
and program, including recommending an annual operating budget which includes trash and
debris removal, repairs, mowing, resurfacing, and restoration. Prepare an annual
management plan for guidance.
6. Recommend to the Board of Selectmen for approval, town standards for signage, access
and accessibility, trail marking, parking, mapping, vegetation and wildlife management,
viewshed mitigation, trail design and surface, and trail location as it relates to natural
resources, topography, and proximity to residential abutters. The draft standards shall be
developed in coordination with the Town boards/committees and organizations involved with
developing and maintaining trails on Town land.
7. Promote and encourage partnerships with other Town and Commonwealth agencies and
boards/committees to make Hopkinton a more walkable community.
8. Coordinate and oversee the publication of trail maps and trail guides for use by the public.
9. Encourage public involvement and engagement in the planning, management and use of
trails. Hold at least one public forum annually to solicit public input, ideas and concerns.
10. Meet at least annually with public and private trail groups to discuss proposed trail
development and maintenance plans.
11. Coordinate and manage an adopt-a-trail program, if appropriate, and coordinate volunteer
driven projects.
COMPOSITION: The TCMC shall consist of 7 members who are Hopkinton residents and
appointed by the Board of Selectmen. Initial members shall be appointed to 1, 2 and 3 year
3
terms to achieve staggered terms, and all members appointed thereafter will serve 3 year terms.
No member may serve more than three consecutive terms.
The membership shall be as follows:
● Four members at large;
● One member who is recommended by the Parks and Recreation Commission;
● One member who is recommended by the Conservation Commission;
● One member who is recommended by the Planning Board.
Committees/organizations recommending members may recommend more than one for
consideration, and those recommended need not be members of the recommending body. All
members shall have a demonstrated interest in the development, management and use of
public trails. One member (or associate member) who also has expertise in facilitation and
communication is desirable.
The Board of Selectmen may appoint up to 5 associate (non-voting) members if desired, in
order to broaden the perspective, representation or to facilitate the Charge of the committee.
No associate members shall be appointed until one year after a quorum of full members has
been appointed, so as to allow for time for the Committee to fully consider and clarify its
purpose and charge.
RELATIONSHIP TO EXISTING TOWN BOARDS:
The existing authority of an appointed or elected board/committee is not intended to be modified
by the Charge to the TCMC. While issues, concerns and questions may be reviewed and
recommendations issued by the TCMC, the final decision rests with the entity with jurisdiction.
However, a board/committee with jurisdiction may formally delegate a matter or specific project
to the TCMC, provided that the TCMC agrees to handle the matter or undertake the specific
project.

• Before we finalize a framework – we should probably gather and incorporate input from existing
committees (UCTC & TCMC), liaison committees/boards/commissions, the Town Principal
Planner, and the public
Consider a separate Citizen Advisory Board (CAB) – or some oversight mechanism
• To meet quarterly with the Hopkinton Trails Committee and Liaisons to ensure fidelity to the
Hopkinton Trails Committee’s charge, provide accountability to resident input/feedback, and
track progress on Hopkinton Trails Committee goals.
• 3 member board, 3 year staggered terms
Hopkinton Trails Committee - 5.19.23

• Please consider that there is a need for oversight. Best practice for any committee or
organization that serves a community of individuals however the community is designated is to
have regular formal input from that community, and within that best practice to maintain a
mechanism for accountability to the community members that contribute their time and
intellectual capital. A formal feedback and information loop if you will that ensures the
committee or organization embeds the community members’ input with fidelity into the work of
the committee.
o A CAB is not the only way to do this, but it is a way and considered a best practice for
this purpose
Encourage development of a “Friends of the Hopkinton Trails” 501(c)(3) Organization

Elaine Lazarus Meeting Notes of Agenda Item to Review UCTC Charge
Note:These notes are not Upper Charles Trail Committee Minutes
UCTC Members Present:Jane Moran,Ken Parker,Eric Sonnett,Eli Post,Scott Knous,Irfan
Nasrullah,Jim Ciriello,Bob Snyder,Cynthia Esthimer,Jamie Wronka (alternate member),Tim
Ritterbusch (alternate member)
Agenda Item -Review UCTC Charge:
Jane Moran suggested that members come up with suggested changes to the Charge that
might help its functioning.She stated that she would recommend having a member proficient in
social media,and to add to the Charge biannual reporting to the Select Board.
Jim Ciriello noted the current Charge includes a member with public relations experience and
this includes social media.He suggested changing the makeup of the Committee to include
more liaisons (not necessarily voting liaisons)from other boards/committees such as the Trail
Coordination &Management Committee (TCMC).
Cynthia Esthimer suggested that “public outreach”replace social media,and recommended
including “constructive collaboration”in charge item #10.
Eli Post stated he echoes the suggestions of Jane Moran and Cynthia Esthimer.He stated the
Trail impacts people’s daily life so the Committee should reach out and interact with people,and
this is paramount.
Scott Knous stated the membership should include a TCMC member,and the Parks &
Recreation Commission and the Conservation Commission should be reminded that their
member designees do not have to be members of those Commissions,they can designate
anyone.
Jamie Wronka suggested clarity in the number of route options the Committee is required to
recommend to the Select Board,and stated the provisions of the Charge referring to gathering
input from the community are vague.She recommended there be a definite number of route
options required,and more specificity in public outreach,such as specifying the number of
public visioning workshops required.
Bob Snyder stated he joined the Committee because he is interested in creating a bikeable trail
from Milford to Ashland,and he has heard the Town may be easing back on that goal because
it’s been found that it’s hard to do -but it’s still important to him.He stated he agrees with the
suggestion of periodic visioning workshops.
Ken Parker stated that skateboarders shouldn’t be part of what is included in the definition of a
“multi-use”(bikeable)trail,because that implies it will be a paved trail.He stated this shouldn’t
be part of the Charge,and it will increase opposition to it.He suggested amending charge item
1
#4 to require markings on the ground of the trail route wherever feasible so people can evaluate
that.Members discussed that visual markings could be required where possible,and it was
noted that some areas,such as the Campus Connector,had been marked in the past.
Tim Ritterbusch referred to Charge item #4 which references providing 2 or 3 route options to
the Select Board,noting that perhaps recommending 2 or 3 segment options that would be part
of one overall route would make better sense,reviewing it one segment at a time.He referred to
presentations of segments/routes to the Select Board,noting the Committee could show the
planning work,some of which might not be popular,but it gives the Select Board a choice.He
stated it should be made clear it’s a planning exercise for segments,and it doesn’t need to be
100%designed to present to the Board.He stated it should be clear that the UCTC does the
planning and the Select Board makes the choice.
Scott Knous stated what he heard is proposing segments for decision when ready rather than a
complete package.Irfan Nasrullah stated that as a Select Board member,he would like to see
the pros and cons of each segment.
Eric Sonnett recommended expanding or reorganizing the Committee to include a designee of
the School Committee,because much of the Trail would go through their property and there
needs to be interaction.He stated they are a potential partner and right now they have no say.
Jim Ciriello stated he has always looked at the Trail as segments.He stated “multi-use”means it
can be used for any non-motorized purpose and he is open to any surface treatment.He stated
he doesn't recall ever voting to use the Hayden Rowe route.He stated one segment can’t be
eliminated unless there is another option;he likes the use of segments and the reporting out.He
stated Con.Comm.has a representative because wetlands are involved,and he regularly
updates the Con.Comm.on that,and assumes other designees are doing the same.
Eli Post stated it’s dangerous to approve segments individually because you don’t know how
they will connect.
Jane Moran stated there was a conceptual route plan for the Environmental Notification Form
(ENF)that was being developed,but it never got to design.She stated the State needed an
overall plan because of the wetlands impacts,as there are limits on the amount that can be
impacted.She stated the Committee needs to be aware of that impact.She stated the ENF was
never submitted to the State.
Ken Parker stated in some places separate segments make sense,and in others they don’t.He
stated the Committee doesn’t have to wait until there is a complete route to start building,and
some parts can stand alone.
Irfan Nasrullah stated the MassDEP won’t approve each segment,they will need to see the
entire plan via the MEPA process.He stated the Select Board doesn't need the full plan to
2
review it.He stated that for the Charge,he likes quantifiable measurable actions,segment
reviews with the pros and cons of options.
Cynthia Esthinmer asked about the frequency of reporting and what is reported,and it’s
something for the Select Board to consider as to what they feel is important.

In preparation for our discussion on volunteer recognition,I wanted to count up how many
volunteers we have to recognize.I removed duplicate names (people who serve on more than
one committee),and we have a total of 178 volunteers.They are a variety of age groups,so
that makes it more challenging to find a good day or time to have an event.For example,if the
majority were at retirement age,we might make an educated guess that they were likely to be
available on weekdays.This is just a discussion point for our May 9,2023 meeting.

Select Board,
Good afternoon. I have been a resident of Hopkinton for 17 years and I have watched the town go from a charming quiet
place to a traffic ridden urban sprawl "city". Have there been discussions or motions to stop new construction? Let the
schools catch up and see if we can figure out the traffic. Is it something that the town can vote on? I know in Carlisle you
need an acre of land for new construction and they have been able to keep the charm of that town. I speak with lots of
residents who feel the same as I do and it's not too late to save this town, sadly though if construction remains at this
pace for another few years it will be too late.
Thank you,
James Bruce

RE: Approval of One-Time COLA Adjustment for Retirees
CHAIRMAN
THOMAS F. GIBSON, ESQ .

Chief Administrative Officer
LISA MALONEY, ESQ .
The Middlesex County Retirement Board is pleased to announce that
Chapter 269 of the Acts of 2022 ("the Act"), a local option which allows a one-time
increase to the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) granted to retirees in FY 2023,
from 3% to 5% of the System's $16,000 COLA base, has met the requirements for
enactment.
The one-time increase of 2% to the COLA percentage for FY 2023 will result
in an additional annual COLA payment of $320 for approximately 4,000 retirees
and beneficiaries whose pensions exceed $16,000 (from the previously granted
$480/year to $800/year). The approximately 2,500 retirees and beneficiaries
receiving less than $16,000 annually will receive proportionately less. Retroactive
COLA adjustments will be included in the June 30, 2023 monthly retiree payroll.
Acceptance of the Act was conditioned upon approval by the Middlesex
County Retirement Board and by two-thirds of the System's municipal Select
Boards prior to June 30, 2023. After reviewing the financial impact upon the
System, the Board voted to accept the Act on December 14, 2022, and to request
approval by the System's 31 Select Boards.

1.0%. After discussion with Town Administrators and Town Managers, the Board
voted to begin funding the COLA adjustment in FY 2026. The System Valuation as
of January 1, 2024 will be undertaken next year.

To: Hopkinton Select Board <selectboard@hopkintonma.gov>
I attended the Select Board meeting on May 9, and am writing to offer some thoughts regarding the Upper
Charles Trail and the Upper Charles Trail Committee (UCTC).
• The Upper Charles Trail was first conceived of in 1997, when a Metropolitan Area Planning Council
study resulted in the concept of a 25 -mile trail to link the communities of Milford, Ashland, Sherborn,
Holliston, and Hopkinton via an abandoned CSX rail bed.
• As noted in the UCTC's own mission statement, the UCT is intended to be a recreational path, not a
commuter path: "The mission of the Hopkinton Upper Charles Trail Committee (UCTC) is to provide
leadership and oversight of the planning, design and development of the Hopkinton rail trail for
recreational use."
• As proven by Holliston's extraordinarily popular portion of the trail (and Hopkinton's Center Trail), a
packed stone dust surface will accommodate all users (with the exception of rollerbladers), and is
ADA-compliant. It's also less expensive to install & maintain. A paved path discourages use by those
who prefer a surface with a little "give" (runners and horse riders).
• Retaining institutional knowledge makes sense with a successful organization, such as the fire
department. The UCTC's efforts have been resoundingly rejected by the Town, and retaining that
"institutional knowledge" will just continue the problems. Documentation (maps, meeting minutes,
etc.) of the committee's work still exists and can be referenced as needed. The Town Engineer will
still be the Town Engineer.
• The UCTC was charged with developing multiple proposed routes to offer to the Select Board. After
more than a decade of work, they proposed a single route that goes through the school properties,
and then down Hayden Rowe. Clearly this is not a realistic route, yet it was presented as the only
option. An alternative western route was considered and rejected by the UCTC. A new Western route
has since been proposed and appears on the UCTC's current maps, but as the UCTC Chair stated at
the meeting, that was developed by the TCMC, not the UCTC.
• Article 47 was quite specific in the actions to be taken: "...abolish the Upper Charles Trail Committee
(UCTC) and establish a subcommittee termed the Upper Charles Trail Subcommittee under the
direction of the Trails Coordination and Management Committee...This subcommittee shall perform
the function of the former UCTC..." There is no ambiguity in what the Town voted to have done.
I will be the first to acknowledge the complexity and difficulty of the task the UCTC was formed to address.
As an original member (since 2005) of the Hopkinton Trails Club, I am keenly aware of both the issues with,
and interest in this project. Make no mistake about it, the residents of Hopkinton want a trail. Rather than a
vote against the trail, the vote at Town Meeting was a vote of no confidence in the UCTC's ability to develop
that trail, and I agree with that sentiment.

Despite the town meeting vote, the Upper Charles Trail Committee met and voted to maintain Jane Moran as chair and
Eric Sonnet as vice chair. It was also clear that Hayden Rowe, while off the table in the near term, could be back in a
couple years. This seems unacceptable.
At the recent Select Board meeting, the Board acknowledged that town meeting had spoken loudly, yet this is the UCTC's
response. The Board expressed concern about a loss of institutional knowledge, but the bigger issue is that a majority of
the UCTC voted to spend over $350,000 on engineering work (Segments 5 and 6) that has no value without Hayden
Rowe, so these folks are unlikely to be objective in reviewing alternatives.
We are reaching out to you to let you know that while we understand you have a lot on your plate right now, replacing this
committee, and honoring the town vote on articles 47 and 48 is important.

Hello Friends,
I'm here as another citizen against the bike trail down Hayden Rowe. It is my firm belief that, even when citizens
spoke against this section at their community meeting, the UCTC was not listening. Eric Sonnett spoke freely to the
Independent about it not going through the Charles View Estates, his neighborhood. He didn't want people parking in
front of his house, which we all know is completely legal on most streets. He talked about the characters it may bring to
the neighborhood. He said the same to me at the citizen's meeting . Apparently it's okay then to bring them by our
schools and other peoples houses? We lived in Hayden Rowe in the 90's. Backing out of our driveway was scary, and
that was before the population explosion in town. Hayden Rowe is crazy busy now especially with the addition of
Marathon School. Adding the new Elmwood School over there will certainly add to the congestion.
If we have to re-examine the sections leading to sections 5 & 6 let's do it. I don't think the town will ever support
this bike path going down Hayden Rowe. Let's do it safely and correctly the first time. I want to see the a reexamination
done of the proposed trail through the Charles View Estates. There were neighbors from that section who came in
support of it going through their neighborhoods.
People in Hopkinton have historically fought against the 'well the decision was made so tough' type of approach to
changes in our town. (Like the elementary school proposal at Fruit Street). Please hold the UCTC accountable to the
towns wishes. It'd be a foolish mistake to put it down Hayden Rowe and will see as much traffic as the double bike lane
down Main Street .
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Good afternoon, members of the Select Board.
Thank you for taking the time to read the feedback you are receiving.
I have volunteered as an alternate member of UCTC since September 2022. I voted, along with 72% of ATM voters, in
support of articles 47 & 48. I have two significant concerns where UCTC is not meeting the charge, supporting my vote.
1) Charge 4: outline and present 2 or 3 route options to the SB, one located west of Hayden Rowe. UCTC members
(multiple) have stated in meetings "there is only one route", "the western route is not viable", the western route "was ruled
out years ago". The chair encouraged letting the TCMC work on the western alternative - giving UCTC responsibilities to
another committee that lacks the same level of operational support. I have asked for documentation of the evidence that
the western route is "not viable" - it does not exist beyond in memories of long time members.
2) Charge 6: gathering input from as many Hopkinton residents as possible. It took months to create an outreach
initiative, spearheaded entirely by a new member from summer 2022. Despite Scott Knous starting this work in the fall,
we have STILL not developed a survey and multiple meetings this discussion has been pushed off to another meeting or
into a working group of which results are not discussed in the main committee meetings.
The UCTC lacks transparency and efficiency also. Communication from the chair is always through her personal email - I
requested that she please use the town email, which now I get emails forwarded from her personal address to her town
address to me. This is in conflict with her stated concern that the wealth of knowledge from years of the committee are
important to be preserved, when so many committee specific communications are not documented in the town system -
which would immediately be accessible to future chairs.
As an alternate member, I have attended every meeting except 1 since joining. Every voting member has never been in
attendance. Despite this, the UCTC chair has decided that alternates may only vote when a quorum is not present - I am
asking the Select Board to please formalize guidance alternate members' voting status. I strongly suggest a policy that is
the same across all boards - if an alternate is present when any voting member is not, the alternate will vote.
I am in support of dissolving the current UCTC. I am asking that the Select Board honor the town voters' concerns
expressed at the annual town meeting - thank you for honoring the deep concerns and creating a new committee. If you
do not feel this is the best path forward - please prepare a full explanation of reasoning with concrete requirements and
timelines in place so that if the committee continues to fail to meet expectations and charter, consequences will be clear
and actionable.
Very sincerely,
Jamie Wronka

Dear Select Board,
I am writing to express my support for the vote at town meeting to dissolve the UCTC in its current form. Unfortunately, I
was unable to attend given that we have young children, but my husband attended and voted in favor of article 47.
It has become clear to anyone paying attention that the current chair is either unwilling or unable to move forward in a
reasonable manner. She and other members have repeatedly stated that the western alternative is not a viable option
because of opposition from abutters while ignoring the opposition from abutters along Hayden Rowe. She also repeated
the false claim that the Western alternative requires a bridge, which a resident had to correct at town meeting. A school
committee member also explained the rush to spend money on a trail segment that was already known to be a potential
future site of the new Elmwood school.
For these reasons, I ask that the Select Board hear the town's concerns and move forward with creating a new
committee. If you feel that the process used was not what you would want, then I request that you explain what process
you believe will better address the concerns of the townspeople and put specific requirements and timelines in place to
ensure that issues are appropriately addressed.
Regards,
Lucia V. Lopez

It's unfortunate that the Hopkinton Select Board shirked their
management responsibilities with regard to the Upper Charles
Trail Committee.
This committee was appointed by the Select Board and given
a specific assignment. The committee is charged with
identifying routes for a multiuse trail connecting with Milford
and Ashland. And in addition they are to use the existing
Center Trail. The committee has spent 11 years exploring
routes.
If the Select Board was dissatisfied with the progress of the
committee, they could have had a discussion with them.
Instead they allowed a dispute between town volunteers to
simmer and erupt at our recent town meeting.
Volunteers are the energy that keeps our democracy going.
They are a valuable resource and should be treated with
curtesy and respect.
The challenge now is to restore a civil process and establish
trust so that the work of building a multiuse trail can be
