Commissioner AVery asked how far we are as far as the billing and are we getting there? Diane noted that the department has made great progress, the last of the February bills went in the mail today. The March bills will be out within a couple of weeks and at that point they should be almost current, hopefully May is the month that they hope to be right on line. Commissioner Avery noted that some people feel they are being billed higher than usual. Diane said that this is because they are getting their higher usage bills now, the months of January and February, also no posting has been done so people are getting double bills. Mr. Hall noted that the computer is running smoothly and they are not experiencing any down time, however they do have a problem with static and will need to purchase an air- conditioner. Also they may have to extend the walls of the computer room to the ceiling and keep the room separate from the rest of the Town Hall. Mr. Hall noted that he questionedrthem in the past about any special equipment and he was told that it would not-be BOARD OF SELECTMEN /LIGHT COMMISSIONERS Minutes of the Meeting April 18,1979 Page 3 needed, but the static caused by walking across the rug throws the computers off when touched. Jim noted that they are also considering installing a tile floor in there and taking out the rug. Jim noted that he needs equipment to pull the large cables on the 1 -495 project, and he is in the process of getting 4 quotes , he noted that legally he does not have to advertise this and go out for bid as long as he gets four quotes. When he receives the four quotes he will present his recommendation to the board. This is all 100% funded by the State.

Treasurer /Collector Joan Cutillo, is out of work with a back problem, Town Clerk, Arthur Remillard is attending a Town Clerk's dinner in Whitman and Ted Robinson, Parks & Commons had a prior commitment tonight. John McAlice, Town Accountant, John noted that it is a little too early to give a.report as far as his department's problems, etc. however, he is workingcvery closely with the auditors that are in and it is a good learning process for him since he came into the job without a knowlege of municipal accounting. John noted that the .auditors will come up with a series of recommendations as to what should be done, can be done. Everything is posted and up to date, warrants are done on a weeky basis, end of month balance reports are given to each depart- ment as close to the beginning of the month as possible so they will know where they stand with their budget balances. Selectman Avery asked John, looking to the end of the year if he foresees much trouble in budget balances, and John noted that percentage wise lit does not appear to be so, however being new at the job he does not know how much each de- partment spends. Selectman Colella commented that John is doing a fine job because of what he came into. Al Turinese- Board of Assessors , Al noted that most of the field work is done, they are in the process of getting change'forms ready for the computer. Thirty - Two maps have been updated with eleven more to go, hopefully they will all be done by next year.

The decision will be handed down on May 20, whether or not the state can proceed with revaluating towns if they fail to do so. If so the cost of the revaluation will be taken off the cherry sheet. Selectman Avery asked Al if the Assessors would have their figures in time for the town meeting as far as property evaluation. Al said that they will be pretty close and will have a general ideal as to how much it will be.. Selectman Mahana asked that after approval at town meeting for the revaluation how long will it take for the assessing to start and will the Board of Assessors take part in it. Al noted that the Assessors will screen the companies and then come before the Board with their recommendation. Al noted that these people are experts in their field and they will work with them on a minimal basis. Al noted that the only problem he can foresee is in land valuation, farm land etc. Bertram Cook - Building Inspector, Mr. Cook noted that Mansfield is growing slowly but surely, the industrial parkiis starting to pick up and in the past,,week his department received request for 7 new home permits. Selectman Mahana asked Bert if he has any trouble enforcing zoning laws and if he has enough help. Bert noted that he tends to let zoning slide until he has the time, building is the first priority , sometimes inspections in the park take more time than normal. Selectman Mahana asked Bert if he could use an assistant to enforce the zoning and Bert said that the assistant doesn't want to get involved in zoning either. Bert clarified what he said by "letting the zoning complaints slide" as meaning that he does not get to them immediately. Selectman Avery asked Bert if he has any sizable backlog and Bert noted only on certification of public buildings. DPW - Al Capeno (Thom Bonome is on vacation) - Al noted that his department is involved in doing pipe work, hauling fill to the dump, repairing fences and street cleaning. Al noted that the landfill is getting short of cover material, right now he is hauling cover from in back of the garage. Selectman Mahana asked Al if he could use cover material from CC &F and he noted that he could. The Town Manager noted that Karl Clemmey was suppose to get in contact with the people in chargeiof it and he has not heard from him yet. Selectman Avery feels that Al could bring some of it down in the town trucks. Another point that was brought:up by Selectman Mahana was whether or not the town can get reimbursed by the insurance companies of the people who hit the concrete planters along 106. Al feels that we could, only one planter is 'left.. The Town Manager will look into this. On the storm drain at Otis and School St. Al, noted that he repaired the pipe two weeks ago and roto the pipe to get the sand out of it, 50% of it is now working. Selectman Caponigro asked Al about Union St. Ext. and he noted that this is pending waiting approval from the owners. Fire Department , Chief Thomas Leonard reported that the men have hebuilt the hose rack for a larger storage capacity, he attended a hazardous material course in which he sent a report on to the Selectmen, some of his men have been doing maintenance work on the trucks saving the town money, they have retired the rescue truck,,whihh will go back to the Civil Defense, the base station radio.at the West Mansfield station has been replaced and the old one turned over to Civil Defense, mutual aid with surrounding towns has been revised, they are now in the process of doing hydrant inspections and by Fall, hopefully they will have hit all the hydrants. -4- BOARD OF SELECTMEN /LIGHT COMMISSIONERS Minutes of the Meeting ( April 18, 1979 Pag 5 Maintenance problems with hydrants are turned over to the water department. The Chief noted that he is in the process of mapping all the streets in town to show where the hydrants and fire alarm boxes are, alarm testing is a continuous thing, lockers have been ordered which were a capital outlay item in the budget and since the beds have been removed from the upstairs he is in the process of moving his office to the upstairs and the men intend to take over space downstairs to promote a physical fitness program. Alarm box testing is being done over an 8 -week period broken down into districts in order to prevent a shortage of men at the station. All the men have been recertified in the CPR course and they are also giving instructions to residents and in- dustry to date about 400 people have made use of the program and have been cer- tified. Five of the parttime men have taken EMT courses at the Sturdy at their own expense . The Chief noted that he is working on a equipment reorganizational program so that each piece of equipment will have the necessary machinery on it. The fire investigation unit is going well and they are working with the police department. Lately they have been having a problem with bomb scares which are very expensive but they have been working with the police and school de- partment to decide how they are going to handle the situation. One of the major problems is the high cost in fuel. They are hoping to get a 4 -wheel truck through Civil Defense and this truck should cut down on the capital improvements cost , they will have to purchase pump, tank, plow frame and radio for it. The Chief noted that he is working on an on -duty training program for the on -duty men, seems like there are jySt -not enough hours in the week especially with the industrial park and inspections to be made up there. He has received several request from industry for an in -plant fire brigade program. Selectman Mahana. asked the Chief if the Bristol Arms Apartments is still having a problem with their fire alarm . The Chief noted that it is not as high (the calls) as in the past, he is working with the building inspector and they are trying to get the owner to change the system over. The number of runs is down compared to 6 months ago. Selectman Caponigro told the Chief that the Board appreciated his report that he submitted last week on the seminar he attended. Library - Librarian, Peg Bradner informed the Board of the happenings at the Library. They have a complete supply of tax forms for filing federal income and state tax, which people have been taking advantage of. Peg also present copies of best sellers that the Library have . The Children's department is very active and this week during the school vacation, this department was utilized daily. Films are constanly being borrowed from the Boston Public Library and.she noted that the cost of an 11 minute film runs $165.00 which is way beyond her budget so this is where "state aid" helps The Library recently held a pupper show in which 75 people attended. Under a Special Federal Grant a girl has been working at the Library setting up an index file to prevent duplication which will tell where the most expensive material is kept. These index cards will also be on file in the Robinson, Middle and High School Libraries . Also being implemented is the use of the -5- BOARD OF SELECTMEN /LIGHT COMMISSIONERS Minutes of the Meeting April 18, 1979 Page 6 school Libraries during school hours by the public. Peg also had with her tonight a book from 1890 on tax assessments. Another thing that Peg wants to implement is a local history file on documents from the Town of Mansfield. This will in- clude anything pertaining to the Town that is published in the newspaper, hearings, etc. She would like duplicate copies made with one of the copies forwarded to her, this is from any of the departments in Town. These documents will be kept in acid free boxes, indexed as to what it contains. As an example, Peg had a box with papers and documents pertaining to the Town Manager, this also includes his budget FY78/79, FY79/80, and a clipping from the Boston Herald in which the Town Manager was quoted. One last item that Peg brought to the attention of the Selectmen is the. .increased price of the best sellers from last year. she noted that at one time the highest priced best seller was $10.00 and this has now jumped up to the $15.00 bracket. She noted that this is attributed to the cost of paper, labor and printing. Town Planner, Chad Maurer, noted that the major project now is the Wastewater Treatment Plant and that he and the Selectmen will be hearing a report on this when they go into meetwith Camp,Dresser & McKee on Monday, April 23. Along with the Wastewater Treatment Plant we are waiting for a grant from the EPA in the amount of $17,000 to study the interceptor out in the Henry and Alden Street areas. The grant for the infiltration basin was received last week. In addition Chad noted that he is working with the Planning Board on subdivisions,three articles will be in the Town Meeting submitted by the Planning Board and four articles by petition. Gravel removal permits are being reviewed that were sub- mitted by Clemmey and Vazza, also an application for a pond on Ware Street is being reviewed. Chad noted that he is involved with the Recreation Commission on the Memorial Park project and the Hutchinson Property. He noted that this committee was set up to study the project and hopes to have an article in the town meeting to raise funds for grading work which is estimated to cost around $80,000. for a rough grading job. Regarding the meetings of the 128 WRRC, Chad noted that these are held on a Wed- nesday night and he will not be able to attend. Diane Mangiaratti and Grace Genatossio, members of the League of Women Voters were in the audience and of- fered to attend these meetings between them. Chad noted that he was told whoever it is that attends the meeting to make sure that they have good com- munication with the board and keep them informed. Selectman Mahana moved that Grace Genatossio and Diane Mangiaratti be appointed as their representatives to this committee, seconded by Selectman Caponigro. Voted 4 -0.

Police Chief, Larry D'Afile, informed the Board that he has a civilian dispatcher now working and that he is doing very well however, the pay isn't much. This is a CETA employee. All of the policemen have been certifed in CPR. Saturday, April 21, all but 2 of the policemen are taking the Sergeant's exam at the Library. -6- BOARD OF SELECTMEN /LIGHT COMMISSIONERS Minutes of the Meeting April 18, 1979 Page 7 The Chief noted that he is still short 2 men, he is operating with 16 men plus himself and the force should be 18. This year in the budget he requested 4 patrolmen but has been advised that the Board wants to fill the two vacancies first and the civil service list has been frozen. A list of investigations, arrest, etc. for the month of March was read and presented to the Town Manager. The Chief noted that some of the accidents listed occurred at the intersection of Forbes Blvd. and 106 and he feels that the only reason these accidents are happening is that the people operating the vehicles are not coming to a complete stop it is not because the view is ob- structed , right now the radar unit is broken down and they are waiting for a second unit. The Chief further noted that anyone not stopping for the flashing yellow light will be cited and have to go to court. Arson, the Chief noted is a big item and number one crime throughout the country, Mansfield had two arsons last month and two people have been charged. The Chief noted that he does not like the CAP program and spent a couple of hours on this last week with the Town Manager going over,the budget looking for ways and places to cut down. The Chief noted that the Town Manager wants to cut back on services and wants to know how he can do this, if a call is re- fused both he and the police will be subject to charges and he wanted to know who will take the blame for refusing to answer a call. Selectman Avery noted that in reducing personnel] services will be cut it is not a case of refusing it is that you don't have the personnel. The Chief informed the Selectmen how the new law changing the drinking age from 18 to 20 will work and affect them. Applicants not having a driving license 20 years and older will have to come to the police station and fill out a form with proper identification, birth certficates, etc. in the presence of a police officer to be signed by that police officer, then this form has to be taken to the registry to have a picture taken. The Town Manager noted to clarify on what the Chief said regarding the cutting back on services, what he wants to do is cut down on overtime due to sick leave. A man will not be called in to cover for anyone out sick. This will require a review of patrol plans and scheduling of manpower, he does not mean a cut in services as a response to calls, etc. Veteran Agent, Gladys Cross, noted she was very happy to report that she only has 18 active cases, it appears that the employment picture is better. Many of the veteran's are applying for schooling because they only have 10 years after discharge in which to do it, they are all Vietnam veterans. Glady'.s noted that she is very busy now wirth pensions of WW2 veterans, she also noted that she will not have any trouble living within her budget.

Ron recommends that the bid for the Mueller Products be awarded to Hilco Supply, Inc. of Sudbudy, Mass. with the low bid of $6322. This was approved on a motion by Selectman Mahana, seconded by Selectman Caponigro. Voted 4 -0. -7- BOARD OF SELECTMEN /LIGHT COMMISSIONERS Minutes of the Meeting April 18, 1979 Page 8 Ron recommends that the bid on the Open Bid section be awarded to Municipal Services, Inc. of Shrewsbury, Ma. with the low bid of $6165.00. This was ap- proved on a motion by Selectman Caponigro, seconded by Selectman Mahana. Voted 4 -0. Ron noted that in the Sewer department the equipment is holding up pretty good, he has had to do a few repairs hnd right now he is in the process of having the Leonard St. lift station changed over. Ron feels that this was never installed right in the first place, that one of the pumps never worked right, it has to be rebuilt properly. Ron also feels that if the people living in that area intend to finish their cellars they should have check valves installed at a cost of $30.00. Selectman Caponigro agrees with Ron and feels that if people have had their cellars pumped out once,they should be told to install a sump pump, we are the only town around who pumps out cellars. Town Counsel, Charles Mulcahy, informed the Selectmen that he meets with the Town Manager and Town Planner every Friday morning to discuss and go over any problems they may have. Right now he is busy getting ready for the Town Meeting, and wanted to take time out now to endorse a booklet that the League of Women Voters have printed up as a guide for the Town Meeting that they intend to pass out.

Joanne Wood asked Selectman Avery what he meant by a deficit and he noted that some of the money may have been used for expenses during the year, plus the ex- penses involved in doing the rebates . Selectman Avery wants a cost estimate on this from the Town Clerk, Town Treasurer and Board of Assessors before the Town Meeting.
