' 1. TR-2017-48 - A Resolution to appropriate and authorize borrowing in the amount of $1,290,675.88
for engine replacement and fleet improvement project (Sponsored by Mayor Cohen) (Referred to
Finance Committee)
Motion to approve made by Councilor Calabrese and seconded by Councilor Suffriti. As Chair of the Finance
Committee, Councilor Johnson provided the report stating that Chief Sirois explained the need to replace the current
2008 engines as front line apparatus. Chief Sirois indicated that the 2008 engines would undergo some work to repair
rust and be utilized as backup pieces while the 1996 engines will be retired. The amount requested is based on a state
bid program that allows municipalities to price new apparatus without the need to develop detailed specifications. The
new engines would be manufactured by Pierce and the price quote included updating and upgrading equipment for the
new engines,as well as, rust repair work on the existing engines. Councilor Theroux made a motion to send a positive
recommendation to the Council which was seconded by Councilor Cavallo and the vote was approved by a 3 yes 0 no
and 2 absent vote. Councilor Johnson thanked the Chief for his very detailed presentation and back up. Councilor
Cavallo also noted that the Chief always comes to the City Council well prepared and it is appreciated.
The vote was 11 YES,0 NO approving the item.

Item L Public Hearin s
1. PH-2017-8(TOR 2017-9) - An Ordinance to amend Chapter 180 of the Code of the Town of
Agawam — Temporary Moratorium on recreational marijuana establishments (Sponsored by Mayor
Cohen) (Tabled 8/7/17)(1 of 2 readings)(Referred to Legislative Committee)
Motion to remove the item from the table wade by Councilor Theroux and seconded by Councilors Johnson and
Suffriti. Voice vote was unanimous removing the item from the table. Motion to approve the first reading made by
1 Councilor Calabrese and seconded by Councilor Letellier_ Council President declared the Public Hearing open.
Neither the sponsor nor anyone else came forward to present the item or to speak in favor. No one spoke in favor in
name only either. Billy Chester spoke in opposition stating there should be no debate as the voters voted no and hoped
the Council would not go against the majority vote. William CIark stated we should be voting on banning or not
banning these establishments instead of wasting time on a moratorium. No one spoke in opposition name only.
Council President declared the Public Hearing closed. As Chair of the Legislative Committee, Councilor Theroux
provided his report stating that his committee made a Motion to send a positive recommendation to the Full
Council made be Councilor Suffriti and seconded by Councilor Rheault. The vote was 3 YES, 0 NO, 2
ABSENT (Councilors Bitzas and Calabrese). He also noted that the Council needs to stop and look at what
we need in town. Even though the town did not vote for this, it passed statewide. This moratorium gives us
time to protect our community. Councilor Rossi is against the item as there is no need for this moratorium.
The House Bill details it quite well and provides for a moratorium statewide. This is rather redundant. It
makes more sense to meet with all the Department Heads to craft an ordinance that addresses this. Councilor
Johnson shared some of Councilor Rossi's concerns. The state indeed already has a moratorium in place.
He is more concerned that this moratorium conflicts with state law. Should we amend this to match the state
moratorium until 2019? Councilor Johnson believes that the majority of people voted on legalization of
marijuana—not as to whether or not a facility should be in town. He would like to see a question asking the
voters whether or not they want recreation marijuana sales in the Town of Agawam placed on the November
ballot. His thought process is either (1)amend the date on the ordinance to December 31, 2019 or(2) defeat
it and then place the question on the ballot. Councilor Bitzas agrees with Councilor Johnson but thinks we
should act this evening and then find out. Councilor Calabrese applauded Councilor Johnson for
2
highlighting the simple remedy which makes sense. Councilor Theroux said the MMA suggested and
recommended that communities pass a moratorium. We should probably do what Councilor Rossi suggested
and look into town zoning however he did agree that the ordinance should be amended. Councilor Letellier
agreed that the MMA has been extremely helpful with this as well as with solar. She would like to have a
public hearing or town forum to see what the people want and get an item on the ballot. We should act
appropriately rather than acting quickly. Councilor Johnson noted we need to ask the Law Department if this
is consistent with the state and favors placing an item on the November ballot. Councilor Johnson made the
Motion to amend §180-147(B) to change the effective date from July 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019 which
was seconded by Councilor Bitzas. Councilor Rossi reiterated not to lose sight that we need to do something
soon and Councilor Rheault agreed. Councilor Cavallo said the community needs to get involved and is in
favor of public input.
The vote on the amendment was 10 YES, 1 NO(Councilor Rossi)approving the amendment.
The vote on the main motion as amended was 10 YES, 1 NO (Councilor Rossi) approving the first reading as
amended.
2. PH-2017-9(ZC-2017-3) - Petition for Zone Change by Kialty Hrom for property located at 1178
Suffield Street,Agawam from Industrial to Residence B—Public Hearing date set for September 18, 2017
(Referred to Legislative Committee)
Motion to table this item until the Public Hearing on September 18, 2017 made by Councilor Cavallo and seconded by
Councilor Johnson. Voice vote unanimously approved. The item was tabled.
3. PH-2017-10(ZC-2017-4) - Petition for Zone Change by Halladay Farm Trust for property located at
311 Shoemaker Lane from Agricultural to Industrial B and Residential A-3 District- Public Hearing date
set for September 18,2017(Referred to Legislative Committee)
Motion to table this item until the Public Hearing on September 18,2017 made by Councilor Rheault and seconded by
Councilor Johnson. Voice vote unanimously approved. The item was tabled.
' C PH-2017-11(TOR-2017-10) - An Ordinance to amend the Code of the Town of Agawam Zoning
ordinances to add solar energy systems (Sponsored by Councilors Cichetti, Mineo and Suffriti) (Two
Readings Required)--Public Hearing date set for September 18, 2017(Referred to Legislative Committee)
Motion to table this item until the Public Hearing on September 18,2017 made by Councilor Johnson and seconded by
Councilor Letellier, Voice vote unanimously approved. The item was tabled.
Item J. Old Business
1. TOR-2017-7 - An Ordinance to Add Section 3-8.7 to the Code of the Town of Agawam entitled
Capital Improvement Planning Committee (Sponsored by Councilors Cichetti, Mineo and Suffriti)
(Tabled 8/7117)(Second and Final Reading)(Referred to Finance and Legislative Committees)
' Motion to remove the item from the table made by Councilor Cavallo and seconded by Councilor Johnson. Voice vote
was unanimous removing the item from the table. Motion to approve the second reading made by Councilor Letellier
and seconded by Councilor Suffriti. Councilor Cavallo thinks this would be a good move for the town regardless who
is in the mayor's seat next year. This provides improved communication with the administration. Councilor Rossi
agreed with the intent however challenges the legality and believes it to be in violation of the Charter. He feels the
procedures are invalid and illegal. Councilor Letellier said there are two clear sides. She believes it to be
complimentary and NOT contrary to the Charter. This in no way changes the Charter — it just adds to the
' communication. Right now there is no mechanism to hear from the people. This is NOT adversarial — it is only
adversarial if the Mayor does not want to talk with us which is how it is now. Councilor Mineo noted that it mirrors
our charter and is a good tool. It gives the people a voice at the table. Councilor Rheault also did NOT see how or
where it conflicted with the Charter. He would think it's a matter of if you believe it to be a necessity but said it was
not contrary to the Charter. Councilor Johnson concurs with Councilor Rheault in that it in no way is conflicting with
3
to the Charter and said the vote is if it is necessary which he believes it to be. He also concurred with Councilor
Letellier in that it is complimentary to the Charter. Councilor Letellier noted the the Law Department did act and send
their opinion. Councilor Rossi made a Point of Information that it added Section 3 to the Charter to which Councilor
Johnson quickly noted that there was no Point of Interest as it specifically states "add Section 3 to the Code of the
Town of Agawam" not the Charter. Councilor Theroux stated that he was correct in the sense that the Capital
Improvement Plan is in the Charter. Councilor Letellier made valid points for more input for the public. Hopefully
with the new administration in January, the Council could have a seat at the table and hopefully set additional
parameters and have more input with the process_ The process indeed should be more defined and refined. Councilor
Cavallo expressed confusion. We are trying to be proactive and should move forward with this. Councilor Theroux
said the City Council has the final say on the Capital Improvement Plan anyway,
The vote was 7 YES (Councilors Calabrese, Cavallo, Cichetti, Johnson, Letellier, Mineo and Suffriti), 3 NO
(Councilors Rheault, Rossi and Theroux), 1 PRESENT(Councilor Bitzas)defeating the second and final reading.
2. TO-2017-28 -Voucher List for MMA Annual Dues$5,434.00(Referred to Finance Committee)
Motion to approve shade by Councilor Calabrese and seconded by Councilor Letellier. As Chair of the Finance
Committee, Councilor Johnson provided the report stating that the funding provides for the town's membership in the
Massachusetts Municipal Association which includes the Council and Mayor. Councilor Theroux made a motion to
send a positive recommendation to the Council which was seconded by Councilor Cavallo and the vote was approved
by a 3 yes 0 no and 2 absent vote.
The vote was 11 YES,0 NO approving the item.
Item K. New Business
1. TR-2017-50 - A Resolution authorizing the posting of the warrant for the Town Primary Election on
October 10,2017 and the Town General Election on November 7,2017(Sponsored by Mayor Cohen)

Referred to the Finance Committee,next Agenda.
Item Any other matter that may legally come before the Ck l Council.
Councilor Cavallo asked Council President to inquire about the cell service which has not changed since the Verizon
cell tower went in and Verizon ensured better service in the Silver Street area. He also wished the students good tuck
in the new school year. The Full Council wished all the students and teachers a great year and reminded everyone to
drive safely. Councilor Theroux asked Council President to invite the appropriate members of the administration to
discuss concerns with the Walnut Street area and reminded everyone that we need to be working on the Agawam
Shopping Center. Councilor Calabrese is keeping her eye on Ceasar's and wondered what was happening with that.
Councilor Mineo noted he resolved his cell phone issues by changing carriers. Councilor Letellier expressed
disappointment with the Chamber in having a mayoral debate that is charging the public to attend. It should be open to
the public however she has not received a response from the Chamber. Councilor Cavallo also said the times were not
good for most people anyway as they have to work. Councilor Letellier acknowledged that but the bigger problem was
charging for the debate. It should have been rethought. Councilor Suffriti reminded Councilor Theroux that he was on
the BMI Committee with a meeting on this coming Tuesday, 9112 at 5.30 in the Peirce Room of the Library if he or
anyone would like to attend. Better to start there for more information. Councilor Rossi was grateful that some people
1 are interested in business growth in town but agreed with Mr. Clark regarding the parks especially Vaileybrook and
Meadowbrook parks and asked for a memo to be sent to the Mayor and Chris Sparks —he wants these neighborhood
parks up and running. Council President noted that there is currently a survey online regarding parks and recreational
needs in the town.
