I am very interested in serving the City of Pittsfield through the Zoning Board of Appeals. Please accept this letter and my resume for your consideration of this appointment.

Re: Legal Services Agreement - Outside Special Counsel for Review and Development of Leases of Airport Land

Dear Gloria:

This letter will confirm that the Pittsfield Municipal Airport Commission ("Commission") and the City of Pittsfield ("City") have retained Anderson & Kreiger LLP ("A&K") as special counsel to represent the Commission and the City in connection with review of certain existing lease agreements and development of new leases of Airport land as may be needed, together with legal advice concerning lease compliance with federal and state law. The attached budget represents the hours and fees that A&K anticipates will cover the outlined tasks.

A&K will submit and the PMAC a!,'J'ees to pay monthly bills for work on this project based on the attached budget.

Each monthly bill will provide a detailed daily accounting of all time spent on this project by each timekeeper. The PMAC agrees to reimburse A&K for our reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with this project (including travel), charged at actual cost without mark-up. These costs will also be itemized and billed monthly.

We expect that based on our current engagement with the Commission for review of solar projects and contracts at the Airport, that outside Airport counsel have already been designated as special municipal employees. Such designation by the City Council is necessary under Chapter 268A, the Massachusetts Ethics Act, for contractors or consultants engaged to perfonn a limited scope of work for the City or any of its departments or affiliated entities. If Airport Counsel has already been so designated, please send me a copy of the Council action for our records. If not, please arrange for the designation to be adopted by thc Council.

Thank you very much for considering our finn for this interesting and important work. Please confinn the agreement by the Commission and the City to these terms of retention by returning

to me two countersigned copies of this letter. After receiving these copies, 1 will sign and return one copy for your records.

Very truly yours,

Kevin D. Batt

Agreed:

STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS

ANDERSON & KREIGER LLP

Anderson & Kreiger LLP is pleased to submit this Statement of Qualifications for legal representation in reviewing long-tenn leases and potential new leases to Fixed Based Operators (FBOs) at the PMA. Anderson & Kreiger has nationally recognized expertise in the representation of public airport owners and operators in a diverse array of significant legal matters. Airports that are federally obligated under Federal Aviation Administration grant assurances and related law, regulations and policies, are required to adhere to special lease terms and conditions. Negotiations with FBOs can be fraught with complications not ordinarily encountered in other kinds of public leasing arrangements. We are prepared to provide the special expertise in airport law necessary to assist Pittsfield in its relationship with its FBOs.

DESCRIPTION OF FIRM

Anderson & Kreiger is a finn of 28 lawyers founded over 25 years ago by two lawyers who began their careers at Palmer & Dodge, once one of Boston's largest law fums. The firn1 is a limited liability partnership organized under Massachusetts law. All of the lawyers at Anderson & Kreiger LLP are authorized to practice law and are in good standing in Massachusetts.

Anderson & Kreiger has long been recognized as one of the leading New England firms with a practice devoted to the representation of municipal clients and environmental law. We also have a general civil litigation and appellate practice; we represent many clients in developing new, alternative sources of energy, including renewable energy projects; we have an active real estate practice that includes the representation of municipal clients in complex transactions, including airline agreements; and a highly sophisticated insurance coverage practice.

Anderson & Kreiger has a nationally recognized airport practice. In addition to its recent engagement by the City of Pittsfield to assist in

leasing airport land for a solar facility, our airport clients include:

• Barnstable (MA) Municipal Airport; Boston-Logan International Airport; Charlotte Douglas International Airport; Denver International Airport; Des Moines International Airport; Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport; Dulles International Airport; General Mitchell International Airport (Milwaukee, WI);

• Greater Rochester (NY) International; Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport; Huntsville International Airport; Los Angeles International Airport;

• Martha's Vineyard Airport; • Oakland International Airport;

Orlando International Airport; Pease International Tradeport; Philadelphia International Airport; Portland International Airport; Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport; Sacramento International Airport; Salt Lake City International Airport; San Diego International Airport; San Francisco International Airport; Seattle-Tacoma International Airport; Tucson International Airport.

We also regularly represent the interests of all of the nation's major airports as counsel to Airports Council International - North America CAC!"). During the course of their careers, the airport lawyers at Anderson & Kreiger have represented nearly I 00 different governmental airport owners in the United States.

Anderson & Kreiger has defined itself as a law firm that represents public sector clients with special distinction, and we have the resources and ability to serve airport clients with skill, efficiency and good judgment.

Anderson & Kreiger is highly qualified to provide outside legal services to the City of Pittsfield and its Airport Commission in their capacity as owner and operator of its airport system.

Our finn has always dedicated itself to serving public sector clients with expertise and creativity. Our governmental clients, including municipal airport owners throughout the country, are at the forefront of our practice. We have extensive experience in handling a wide variety of legal problems that currently face airport owners.

AIRPORT EXPERIENCE

The airport law team at Anderson & Kreiger is also currently involved in representing a large number of other airport owners in a wide variety of legal matters that call on exactly the specialized expertise in aVlatlOn law, environmental law, real estate law and litigation that we propose to provide to the City. We offer the following illustrative examples:

• We are currently representing Chicago, Seattle and San Jose in connection with the drafting and negotiation of new airline agreements and recently completed such work for the cities of Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville and Syracuse as well as for the Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority.

• We represented the American Association of Airport Executives ("AAAE") and ACI as well as I 9 individual airport sponsors in a petition for review of a TSA rule that would have placed the burden of staffing exit lanes on airports. Our work included filing a petition for review in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, briefing a motion to stay and supporting AAAE's and ACI's successful lobbying effort to obtain a legislative solution.

• Recently, we advised the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority ("SDCRAA") in responding to a threatened NEP A challenge to a new consolidated rental car facility. Anderson & Kreiger worked with

SDCRAA and the FAA to prepare the response. Ultimately, no challenge was filed.

• We represent the City of Los Angeles in connection with the establishment of new airport rates and charges, and we have handled for the City a major FAA audit; two separate Pt. 161 studies dealing with proposed limitations on the use of noisy aircraft at airports owned by the City; and a variety of other federal regulatory matters arising at the four different airports owned and operated by the City.

•

•

•

•

•

We successfully defended the Barnstable Municipal Airport Commission against a 13 count federal lawsuit by an FBO, falsely alleging racketeering, anti-trust, civil rights and tort claims.

We are currently defending a bid protest, including defeat of preliminary injunctions, against the Martha's Vineyard Airport Commission by a long-tenn tenant who failed to submit the most favorable response and offer of rent to the Commission's request for proposals.

We have advised Salt Lake City on the City's airline lease negotiations and FAA audit of airport revenue use, the extension of a light rail system into the Airport and NEP A compliance for its airport redevelopment program.

We have advised a number of different airport proprietors, including Barnstable and Rochester on issues arising from hangar leases, FBO agreements and Minimum Standards, and disputes involving airport fueling rules.

As we have since 1983, we continue to represent the Massachusetts Port Authority, owner and operator of Logan International Airport, in many different kinds of matters, including airport rates and charges; environmental permitting and compliance; airport revenue use; First Amendment issues arising from picketing at Massport-owned facilities, including the

airport; the regulation transportation at the airport; and against airport tenants.

of ground and claims by

This is only a small sample of the work the members of our airport law team have performed for airport owners, such as the City, over the past 25 years. We would be pleased to provide contact information for references upon request.

QUALIFICATIONS OF THE TEAM MEMBERS

Anderson & Kreiger proposes to draw upon a team of highly qualified, experienced and committed professionals to meet the City's requirements for outside legal services on airport matters. The team would be supported by other members of the firm on an as-needed basis.

David S, Mackey, our managing partner, joined us in 2013. Prior to joining A&K, Dave was the former Chief Legal Counsel and Interim Chief Executive Officer for Massport, giving Dave enormous insight and practical experience with the special legal, operational and business issues facing major multi-modal ports. Since joining Anderson & Kreiger, Dave has defended the Tulsa Airports Improvement Trust in an Oklahoma breach of contract action, in which the FAA and OIG found that the underlying contract violated federal revenue use rules. He represented airport industry groups and airports in challenging a TSA regulation that would have required airports to assume responsibility for exit lane staffing. Dave defended Massport in a case involving an alleged spill of jet fuel into Boston Harbor, and represented the Martha's Vineyard Airport Commission in litigation over control of the Airport by County government.

Kevin D. Batt, counsel with A&K, is a long term municipal lawyer who has served the Towns of Acton, Concord, Lexington, Dover, and Duxbury as Town Counsel, and provided special counsel services to Attleboro, Cambridge and Barnstable, among other communities. Kevin has provided long term representation to the Martha's Vineyard Airport Commission, including drafting RFPs for lease of aeronautical and nonaeronautical land, litigation over ternunation of

hangar leases and assistance with complex governance issues at the airport. He was a key member of the team in successfully defending the Bamstable Municipal Airport Commission in a major federal lawsuit with one of the airport's FBOs. In addition, he has helped airport and municipal clients host and develop renewable energy projects. Kevin is a graduate of Yale University and Boston University Law School and clerked for Justice Margaret H. Marshall prior to begim1ing practice.

Mina S. Makarions, a senior associate, focuses his practice on public sector clients, including airports. He has been practicing since 2009. Mina has advised several airport clients on regulatory, security and constitutional issues, including Massport, Detroit, and San Francisco and assisted in preparing an amicus brief on behalf of ACI on airport security issues. Mina worked extensively on tax matters for the City. He is a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School.

Christina S. Marshall, a junior associate, helps clients with litigation, public law, and environmental matters. She began practicing law in 2013. Christina has successfully defended the City of San Francisco in a Part 13 proceeding and has assisted airports on PFC collection matters. She has also advised multiple airport clients on potential litigation arising out of Metroplex flight track changes, as well as various regulatory, constitutional, and security issues. Christina received her undergraduate and law degrees from Boston College and clerked for the Superior Courts of Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

FEE AND COST STRUCTURE

Anderson & Kreiger's experience and approach to the delivery of services make it possible for us to deliver the highest quality legal services efficiently and cost-effectively. We are well aware that our clients, especially when they come from the public sector, engage counsel for favorable results at a reasonable cost. It is always our goal to control costs by using the most effective combination of lawyers to staff each

project. We are known for lean staffing by lawyers who understand what their clients do and how to solve their legal problems. The team of lawyers that would be assigned to serve the City has a proven track record of working especially well with public sector clients, including the City.

Rates

The regular hourly rates currently charged to public airport owners by the team members designated in this proposal are laid out below:

David S. Mackey $325 Kevin Batt $325 Mina S. Makarious $265 Christina Marshall $235

These rates reflect substantial discounts from our standard hourly rates. We would be pleased to discuss billing alternatives with the City.

Expenses

We would propose to bill, in addition to our legal fees, for necessary out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements, such as lravel and document reproduction. All of these items would be charged at cost. We are equipped with state-afthe-art communications technology, and strive to minimize the use of fax machines and ovemight couriers through the electronic transmission of information.

Billing

Anderson & Kreiger will plan to submit monthly statements accompanied by computer printouts detailing the time charges and disbursements covered by the bill, in a form acceptable to the City.

Proposed Budget for Pittsfield Municipal Airport -Lyon Lease Matter

Task Hours Hourly Rate

Review existing Lease and amendments, 22 $325 identify FAA compliance issues and other legal vulnerabilities, Senior attorney conference call with Town officials and rate memorandum of recommendations

Draft new lease documents 20 $265

Total

$7,150

$5,300

~3 Associate rate

Negotiation oflease 5 $325 (Sr.) $1,625

20 $265 (Assoc.) $5,300 -- ._-,

Total (3 tasks) $19,375

This Budget assumes that a combination of more senior and junior attorneys would be able to complete the tasks outlined above. The most unpredictable is the third task. On the one hand, Airport and City officials may be able to negotiate most of the items in dispute in a proposed lease without much legal help, and be able to reduce or eliminate this legal task. On the other hand, if considerable iterations of draft leases and protracted negotiations with an opposing counsel are required, time on this task could expand. We trust that the City would help us etTectively manage our time and provide additional compensation ifnecessary in this circumstance.

This budget also does not include legal assistance ifpublic procurement of new lease proposals is required, nor if litigation arises in the course of this engagement. A&K would continue to work with the City to address these needs, subject to appropriate amendments to this Budget.

Historically, PPD has completed these background checks by running a computer based National Crime Information Center (NCIC) records check. Beginning in 2010, under the CORI Reform Act, the Commonwealth began moving municipalities toward fingerprint based background checks, rather than the traditional computer based model. While they advocated for a move to fingerprint based checks, they did not require it. Prior requests by PPD to explore fingerprint based background checks were rejected.

Last year, the Commonwealth updated our Criminal Justice Information System regulations and prohibited the use of computer based NCIC checks for the purpose of Civil background checks. With this change, the Department's ability to process background checks for license and permits was ham-strung. We have been informed that requiring applicants to submit their own records with their applications is also prohibited by law.

"DEDICATED TO EXCELLENCE"

Therefore, in order to process the required certifications for permit and license applicants, the passage of a local ordinance, allowing the use of fingerprints for civil background checks and the issuance of a local policy is required.

I respectfully request that you enact the attached ordinance, authorizing fingerprint based civil background checks so that we may submit our proposed policy to the Massachusetts Criminal Justice Information System for approval.

Chiefs of Police/Municipal Licensing Authorities

The CORI Reform Law, Chapter 256 of the Acts of 2010, amended the General Laws by adding M.G.L c

6, §172B %, which provides statutory authority for municipalities to enact by-laws or ordinances to

conduct national criminal background checks of certain municipal occupational licensees, The

Massachusetts Department of Criminal Justice Information Services (DCJIS) has issued the attached

policy and procedures document that details how to implement this process

Each municipality is required to have a Civil Fingerprinting Policy, This pOlicy must be approved by the

DCJI$ before the municipality can begin submitting fingerprints The attached Policy and Procedures

document contains the information you need to establish your municipality's civil fingerprinting policy.

In addition, the DCJIS has created the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Model Municipal Civil

Fingerprinting Policy for Occupational Licensing, which you may use either as your municipality policy or

as a guide to creating your own policy. This Model policy is available on the DCJI$ web site at

mass.gov/cjis. Please email your proposed civil fingerprinting policy, along with a copy Of your

municipality's civil fingerprinting by-law/Ordinance to [email protected], you w"di not

be able to submit civil fingerprints for licensing purposes to the State Police until your municipality's

policy has been approved.

Frequently Asked Questions on Speed Limits

QL What are the laws and regulations that govern speed limits in Massachusetts?

{01. Section 17 and Section 18 of Chapter 90 of the Massachusetts General Laws (!'1GL c. 90 §§ 17 and 18) c!!Clates the requil~emellts fOI- estZ:1L-:;lishillg pnste(J Sl)f'f:Ci 11!l~irS anrj 1'["1"" Sri"-]\"l)t( r-\' "Dec;j lin,:l', (Y' ,!I ')t-hl-'f

standards stated Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTeD) for ttlt: posting of speed limit slgna~Ji;;

Q2. What is a regulatory speed limit?

A2. With eel"tain exceptions noted below, a regulatory speed limit is one tllat has a Special Speed Regulation and speed limit signs posted per MGL c. 90 § 18. A special speed regulation is established by conductlllg an engineering study, having the authority responsible for legislating municipal traffic code approve the proposed speed zones (city-- and town-owned ways, only), submittll'lg the study and proposed speed zones to !'v1assDOT, having a special speed regulation duly approved by the MassDOT Traffic and Safety Engineering Senior: and the Registry of Motor Vehicles, and, lastly I erecting standard speed limit siqnage,

'The Section 2B.13 of thE: MUTCD also states that, "Speed zones (other than statutory speed ilmits) shal! only be estarJjisilcd on the basis of an engineering study that has been performed in accordance with traffic engineering practices. The engineering stud)! shall include an al1alysis of the current speed distribution of free-flowing vehicles." To comply with this statement, MassDOT has established Procedures for Speed ZOni'lfL where all of the details for the required engineering study may be found.

Q3. How does a municipality create a Special Speed Regulation on a city- or town-owned way?

A3 Fuli details on the procedure for creating Special Speed Regulations niay be found in the MassDOT procedures for Speed Zoning. The foliowing is a sumrrh:VY of the process:

Rcqu(;st sent by city/town to ,f'.1assDOT District Office. [,"1assDOT wiil rned \-vlth City/town for detailed exp!anatlon of proG:durt's (if requested). Cily/to\/vn will subm:l pr-oposed speed zon(~s along 'nith enginct;nn~~ justif'icc.niorl dnd iJdCkup data.

,~. Submittal revicvved by MassDOT District Office and Traffic & Safety Engineenng Section. S If appmved by MassDOT, speCial speed I'egu!ation prepal"ed by MassDOT TraffiC & Safety Enginee,.,ng

Section. 6. Regulation approved by city/town body that governs the municipal traffiC code. 7. HassDOT Traffic & Safety Engineering Section and Registry of Motor Vehicles signs off on approved

regulation. S. Speed lim;t signs are erected by city/town. Speed limit is now enforceable.

Q4. What is a statutory speed limit? A4. Statutory speed limils exist in the absence of special speed regulations and offiCial posted speed limits. MGL c. 90 § 17 requires that dnvers operate motor vehicles at a rate of speed that is no greater than reasonable and proper with regard to the use of the road and safety of the public. Reasonable and proper

are defined as:

20 mph in a schoo! zone;

30 mph in thickly settled or business district for at least 1/8 of a mile;

40 rnph on an undivided way outside of a thiCkly settlc'd 01' business dlstr-ict foe dt ieast 1/4 of a Jiliie; and

50 rnph on a divided way outSide of a thickly settled 0,- business district for at least] /4 of a rni:e

Section 2B.13 of the MUTCD does not require an engineering study to establish a statutol-Y speed ilfT;;': since they are set based upon geographic uiteria in the absence of a speed reguliltion. Howeve!, \Nlti") the eXu0ptl(:1 to the types noted Irl Question 8, statutory speed limits do not lnclu(ie posted Signs.

Q5. What is a thickly settled or business district?

AS. MGL Co 90 § 1 of the MGL defines a thickly settled or business district as, "the territory rontlguous to any way which is built up with structures devoted to business, or the territory contiguous to any way where dwelling houses are situated at such distances as will average Jess than two huncir'ed fed bc:tvveen ~iI2:;~; fcr- ,-,

distance of a quarter of a mile or over."

Q6. How does the new speed limit legislation passed in 2016 affect my town?

AG. Sections 193 and 194 of Chapter 218 of the Acts oL2016 CTP?ltf'~~ f\','''' r-':h/\' C:'p,d'i\:!'_~ '(I n-1,~';1-,'-'r lj:-1 ~ ;1.,-.

~IGL:

Section 193 allows the municipality to opt-in to MGL c. 90 § I7C, thereby redUCing the statutory speed limit from 30 rnph to 25 mph on any or ali city- or town-owned roadways \Nithui a thickly settie(j or business district. The legislation aiso requires cities and towns to Dotify MassDOT of these changes,

Section 194 creates I"1GL c. 90 § I8B, allowing muniCipalities to establish regulatory 20 mph safety zones. Since tliis creates a regulatory speed limit/ the MUTeD requil-es an engineering study prior to the establishment of the the safety zone and t should conform to the guidance found in the MassDOT Procedures for Speed Zoning.

Q7. If a city or town opts-in to Section 193 of Chapter 218 of the Acts of 2016, will that supersede any existing posted speed limit?

A7. No, This legislation only affects streets that ar·e currently governed by a statutory speed lirTlit. If an {~xistlf1q special speed regulation is in place, it VI/ill conhnue to govern.

Q8. Can cities and towns post their own speed limits?

/-\8. Standard speed limit signs may only be posted upon the establishment of a regulator-y speed limit PCI- MGL Co 90 § 18 and the [v1assDOT Pmcedurcs for Speed Zoning. Howc:vel-, lhen? JI-e other speed-related signs that cities and towns may elect to post upon cornpletion of prop(:r engineering studies:

Safety Zone speed limits may be posted and should follow ~lassDOT guidelines, as descnbeej ill Q9.

Q9. What is the process for establishing Safety Zone speed limits?

Safety Zone speed limits are the only regulatory speed limits that municipalities can adopt without prior approval from fv1assDOT. Safety Zones cannot, however-, be placed on State Higiiway 'Nitilout [VJassDOT dppr-oval.

Speed limits within a Safety Zone must be set at 20 mph and are intended to be used In ar'cas \'vilc:rc "!Ui:lcrable road users an~: likely to be pn:::senL Exarnpies of sLich areas are. parks and playg(Qunds.

To establish a Safety Zone, MassDOT has developed the follovvillg miniillum cnter12L

The street should be adjacent to a land use that is likely to attract vulnerable road users

The Safety Zone should contain one or more areas that have potential conflicts between motor vehicles and vulnerable road users that warrant a reduction in speeds such as crosswalks, driveways or side streets

The mininlum -length of the Safety Zone should be at least 1/4 of a-mile and j't should not extend more than 500' beyond a side street unless an applicable land use continues along the adjacent block
