WORKING, LISTENING, ACTING TOG Joseph M. Pasquale Dianne Royle, Amos M. Robinson Ralph P. Penney FELLOW RESIDENTS: Douglas M. Ronald The Board of Selectmen is proud to provide you with an update for Annual Report. Mansfield is one of a small number of communit undergoing a tremendous growth rate. Southeastern Massachuse and specifically Mansfield, has been far outpacing the state rate growth. This rapid growth has accompanying problems: inerea school population, increased demands for public safety, public wor recreation, social services, street lighting and other infrastructure lated services. Mansfield has been very fortunate to have a good mix of residenti and commercial properties. This has provided us with a sound fina cial base to deal with our problems. We have developed a syner; with all boards and committees in Town, as well as our elected sti and federal representatives, so that we all work together for a comm, goal - -the Town of Mansfield. We as a community have accomplished a great deal over the p� twelve months. We were able to negotiate the return of conservati land in the Great Woods that had been promised to the Town oN twenty years ago by the state. We completed the East Mansfield Sev project that will solve a number of problems including the protection our aquifer. We began the construction of the Plymouth Street ree tional fields that will be opened this spring and have started talks w the YMCA for a limited program at the former John Berry Scho Finally, we have increased support for recycling by adding a co prehensive curbside pick -up program. The future for Mansfield is bright. We have our challenges before us. Municipal office space is old, insufficient and costly to maintain and operate. The West Mansfield Fire Station is inadequate for the equip- ment and personnel required. The Police Station that is no longer suf- ficient for its needs. We also have the continuing problem of space in the educational system that is reflective of the growth we are experienc- ing. As the Town continues to work together and looks at the issues as a whole, we can deal with our challenges together, create new solu- tions, and prosper! MANAGER'S OFFICE NING WHILE REORGANIZING William F. Williams, Town Manager It is your Town Manager who presides as Chief Ex- ecutive and Administrative Officer and is committed to qualify customer services. Reorganization -- Changes in personnel and in- creased training occurred in 1993. A large number of personnel were trained at no expense with Mansfield corporate personnel in quality manage- ment and customer services. This training is sup- portive of the mission statement of the Board of Selectmen and has improved our communication ability. A few selected highlights of the year are listed below. Financial Administration -- The Town budget was approved and balanced within the confines of the limits of proposition 2 1/2. The Capital Improve- ment Program was increased to $674,000 utilizing surplus capital funds. With superior fiscal manage- ment and skilled expenditure control, we earned a surplus of $864,000. Personnel Administration -- Despite limited funds, we reorganized major departments and created more effective and efficient services. The Town Engineer and Public Works Department were reorganized with separate and clear lines of authority. Water and Wastewater Departments were staffed by new departmental supervisors with increased respon- sibility and accountability. An Acting Chief of Police was appointed on June 23, 1993 and has sig- nificantly improved service and morale. General -- A curbside bi- weekly recycling program was initiated and sanitation services contract com- pleted saving over $55,000 from FY1993 costs. Active safety programs and the increased attention to risk management caused our Workers Comp loss ratio to fall to 23 %. While we saved $11,000 in FY 1993, our performance will result in more sig- nificant savings in premiums in the future. Municipal Health Insurance costs were attached by uniform contract language for municipal and school personnel mandating 25 percent payment of health insurance premium increases by employees. The Plymouth Street Recreation Project became a reality with only $50,000 in Town funds and sig- nificant private donations. One multi - purpose field was completed with access road and culvert. Liability and property insurance costs were reduced $66,000 by efficient risk management and increased prevention maintenance. Regionalism has established itself in the cooperative purchasing of major Highway Department materials, office supplies, and in personnel training. l s timates of savings are $50,000 from FY 1993. Town wide emergency management training and improved equipment continued to prevent injury and loss of property during major storms and the Con- lon & Donnelly fire in July 1993. Planning feasibility studies of municipal facilities were completed for vacant sites and to address un- safe and inadequate space and growth issues. Customer service training led to an increase com- mitment to quality services and a better use of Town funds. Mansfield continues to be an active government in areas of residential housing development. The Town industrial base is solid and has been denoted as a prominent economic power in the state accord- ing to the State Department of Employment and Training. The Town Manager's objectives have been to provide leadership in continuing these posi- tive economic and revitalization efforts and to en- sure that adequate resources exist for improved services in all areas. PUBLIC SAFETY POLICE DEPARTMENT COMMON GOAL: A SAFE AND SECURE COMMUNITY........... This past year has been one of radical change and personal trial for the members of the Mansfield Police Department. Events have occurred which tested and ultimately proved the mettle of each Mansfield police officer. We have regrouped and moved on. Our department has lost members for various reasons over the past year but it has also gained new officers. Three new people, namely Thomas Whit- ing, Michael Ellsworth and Tracey Juda have joined our ranks. The latter two officers are Mansfield na- tives. For the first time in many years, the Mansfield Police Department is following a practice of calling for civil service lists of local candidates for potential new hires. The past practice of hiring strictly transfers from other departments has been dropped. Barring any great manpower emergency, this department intends to give the local candidates a chance which they have not had for many years. Officer Richard Hopkins was awarded the IV Against Drunk Driving Mansfield Officer Year. You may be seeing Richard's picb billboards and posters being issued by M.AX the coming months. Dispatching has been computerized eliminati need for paper logs. Dispatchers now enterl formation to the database immediately on re( a call.

Fire Department is charged with the respon- ty of protecting the lives and property of the = of Mansfield and those who work and visit in its boundaries from fires, hazardous rials and other related incidents and also ides rescue and ambulance services to the com- e Fire, Rescue, and Ambulance Services have :ome more and more complicated and technical as years progress. The fire service remains one the most hazardous occupations resulting in a h rate of injuries and deaths. The challenge of providing the best possible service to the com- munity, while at the same time providing a safe working environment for our personnel, has become an immense task. The concerns associated with aids, hepatitis, and other communicable diseases requires continuous acquisition of new equipment and the escalation of the necessary training in an ef- fort to insure reasonable safety for all. This theory of hazards and training falls in concert with Fire Prevention, Fire Detection, and Fire Sup- pression as our population continues to grow and the demand for services increases. As a result of the enforcement of Fire Codes and Massachusetts 10 .. 11 General Laws and Public Safety Education, the ex- pertise required to control and suppress fire inci- dents has conversely increased. Technology and expertise is quickly replacing brawn on the fireground. Hazardous materials are pervasive in life today and as such, fire and rescue personnel face dangers never before encountered. Training must be increased to heighten the awareness and in- crease the knowledge of our professional fire and rescue personnel in order to better serve the public. The concerns associated with hazardous materials were very prevalent in Mansfield this past year. It has become a reality that the once small Town of Mansfield now has big city problems. Our depart- ment acted swiftly and appropriately in controlling and mitigating the incidents encountered. What has become clear as a result, is the need to insure to the extent possible, that similar situations in the future are avoided or mitigated in the same manor. The future will bring more changes to the fire serv- ice. As these changes develop and unfold, we as Professional Firefighters must participate in the con- tinual process of Training and Education and develop and implement reachable goals and objec- tives. I wish to offer my sincere thanks to the members of.= the department who are the Mansfield Fire Depart- ment. Through their knowledge and dedication, many lives have been saved; needless pain and suf- fering alleviated; and property, which otherwise might have been destroyed, was preserved. Thank you for a job well done. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS THAT SERVE AND PROTECT........ The Emergency Management Agency is charged with the overall "Emergency Preparedness Plan- ning" for the Town of Mansfield. This includes the coordination of all resources of the Town, public and private, professional and volunteer, to avert or combat the effects of disaster. A pool of trained volunteer manpower service is provided to the Town in both emergency and non- emergency situa- tions. Each year end provides us with an appropriate op- portunity for both reflection on the prior year and prospective consideration of the upcoming year. We must view 1993 as an exciting year for the Emer- gency Management Agency. It was a year of chal- lenges, accomplishments, and initiation of change. We were challenged in each of our 14 general "call outs" from acts of nature, to a fire emergency, to several area lost or missing person searches. Each had it's own unique circumstance which we were able to learn from and better prepare for a similar such occurrence in the future. Emergency activities included providing emergency power using our two trailer mounted generators to local residents, clearing of debris from roadways, winter storm emergency transportation via four wheel drive vehicles, emergency first aid, transpor- tation of residents to and from shelters during an emergency evacuation order, and the operation of shelters as required. We can count several major accomplishments in- cluding the conversion of the Ford Ambulance into a Mobile Incident Command Post /First Aid Station; the completion of phase one of the 800mhz radio equipment installation which again ties us with the Fire and Police Departments; the acquisition of a 3kw - 3 phase generator through the Federal Surplus /Excess Program, coupled with the rebuild- ing of the Jeep Multi - Purpose Vehicle to accom- modate this generator; and the reorganization of our Emergency Operations Center to better utilize the available space. There are a total of eighty (80) active members. The Emergency Management Agency is divided into five operational units: Auxiliary and Reserve Police, Medical, Communications, Engineering, and 12 Administrative. Individual units are responsible specialized activities ranging from the offerini Police Support with Auxiliary /Reserve Officers ongoing Criminal Justice Training Academy ed tion, EMT and first aid response and presenc various events, emergency communications, as' as equipment maintenance and inventory control. Change was initiated during 1993. There was complete reorganization which gave each meml both primary and secondary responsibilities and greater level of accountability in each area. Usinj "team" approach all of our procedures and polic are in the process of being reviewed and updated. Volunteers continued to train on the personal co puter system updating their skills on "ARCHIE" Hazardous Materials Program, as well as I daily /incident log, word processing, spread she and data base management programs. Plai resource inventories, and hazardous materials invi tories within the town are updated on a continui basis utilizing the various computer programs. During 1993, our agency was able to obtain proval for $4,872 in Federal Matching Funds un various Federal Emergency Management Rei bursement Programs. This money was returned the Town's General Fund. Volunteers are always welcome. All that is requir is a willingness and dedication to serve. The i quired training will be provided. Our success in 1993 was made possible by the forts of not only our own membership, but by inter - departmental cooperation, the business a munity who came to our rescue, and by the r dents who shared their expertise with us which lectively made our goals achievable. DEPARTMENT DE ENFORCEMENT FOR MPLIANCE ............................... Building Department is responsible for the in- ;tion of all construction at various stages of each ject to determine compliance with Federal, State local codes.

In addition, inspectors responsible for the inspection of the installation all solid fuel burning stoves. designated by MGL Chapter 40A, Section 7, the sector of Buildings is also the Zoning Enforce - at Officer and is responsible for compliance with the Town of Mansfield's as well as Chapter 40A of Zoning By -Law the Zoning Act. Through the Zoning By -Law, preliminary site plan review for all business and industrial zones is the responsibility of the Inspector of Buildings who receives assistance from all department heads during the review process. The Electrical Inspector and the Plumbing and Gas Inspector are responsible for the inspection of the installation of those respective facilities to determine compliance with current codes. Their inspections include new installation, replacements, and altera- tions. In most cases, there are a minimum of two inspections per job as well as many reinspections due to non- compliance. In order for the code enforcement procedure to work effectively, there has to be close coordination of inspections between the various individuals to in- sure compliance with existing codes. Building permits issued are a good indication of the total construction activities in any one year as a building permit represents the major portion of con- struction.

The Engineering Department is presently working on many diverse projects and is planning, with the Town's representatives, many other improvement projects which will insure better service and safety to the public. COOL ... CLEAR WATER ................. The Water Department consists of a staff of thir- teen and has the primary responsibility of providing safe drinking water to nearly 100% of the residents of Mansfield. It does it through a system of eight wells, approximately ninety miles of pipe and two storage facilities. There is 4.5 million gallons of storage capacity between the Foolish Hill reservoir and the Oxford Road standpipe. This storage capacity is equal to over a day and a half of average demand. The department also has the responsibility of maintenance and repair of the distribution sys- tem, meter installations and reading, operation and maintenance of five corrosion control stations and the ground's maintenance of the well and storage sites. 15 Water demand for 1993 was up by 12% verses 1992. The average daily demand was 2.49 million per day for a total of 912,440,000 gallons per year. This was due to the extremely hot and dry later part of the spring and summer. There were several periods during the early summer months where pumping exceeded 4.0 million gallons per day. Our groundwater system was stressed during this period due to the lack of recharge from rain. But even with the dry summer period our year end rainfall was only off by 2.5 - inches. A voluntary conservation measure was implemented at the end of the spring but the results fell short of our expectations. We express our thanks to those who conserved our most precious resource. Although we are still pumping within the State registered withdrawal regulations, serious consideration should be given to developing the Ash property. We began the design of the two potassium hydroxide corrosion control stations at the Cate Springs and Witch Pond wells and are planning to activate them in the summer of 1994 . The Town participated in the Federal and State copper /lead sampling and analysis. The lead results were well below the States requirements and the copper levels were slightly higher than the required action level. The construction of the two new corrosion control stations will bring the copper levels into com- pliance. We are also analyzing the entire water sys- tem and hope to have the results and recommenda- tions by the spring of 1994. The Water Department continued their hydrant replacement program in replacing over 20 hydrants with new materials. They also repaired over service leaks, renewed over services and participated in the water main construc- tion on Bird Road. WATER POLLUTION CONTROL FACILITY EXCEEDS STATE, FEDERAL LOCAL REGULATIONS .................. The Water Pollution Control Facility consists of a 3.14 million gallons per day advanced wastewater treatment plant and a sludge landfill /compost facility. The facility and present staff of ten have the primary responsibility of abating the potential pollu- tion of local ground and surface water caused by sewage and septage generated in the towns of Mansfield, Foxboro, and Norton. The effluent (water cleansed by the treatment process) is dis- charged into the Three Mile River, which flows to the Taunton River and eventually into the upper Narragansett Bay. The facility continually meets or exceeds federal, state, and local water quality stan- dards. In May of 1993 the facility again received high marks in the Save the Bay Annual Report. The report listed the facility as having extremely low concentrations of pollutants discharged into the Bay. During 1993 the facility treated 675 million gallons of wastewater for an average daily flow of 1.849 million gallons. This flow represents 58.9% of the facilities capacity. Included in these flow figures are 9,988,049 gallons of septage, or an average'daily flow of 39,952 gallons received and treated at the facility. With a pollutant removal rate greater than 99% we removed 2,136,112 pounds of pollutants in the form of sludge. Approximately half was buried in the sludge landfills during the winter months, while the remainder was composted. 16 The Mill Street lift station was put on line in Spring of 1993. This station serves East Mansf with state of the art equipment. There are two mersible pumps located in a wet well at the sta with a combined pumping capacity of 900 gal per minute. The station has a back -up gene] with automatic switching in the event of a p( failure. There is also an automatic system moi which is connected to the telephone lines to plant personnel in the event of a system fai Sophisticated telemetry transports flow gathered from the Essex Street Parshall Flume measuring device) to the Mill Street site where charted and recorded. Presently the station is f ing an average of greater than 25,000 gallor wastewater daily. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT SHAPING THE GROWTH OF MANSFIELD ........................... The Planning Department is composed of two fu time employees, an Administrative Secretary and Planning Director. The Administrative Secrets provides direct support services to the Plannii Board and indirect support services to the R Housing Committee, Capital Improvements Com- mittee, and other Boards and Departments as may be necessary. The Planning Director's primary task is to provide professional assistance to the Planning Board. In addition, the Planning Director assists the public and other boards and Town Departments. 'Be Planning Director also serves as the Town's Fair Housing Director, Civil Rights Coordinator, and the Americans with Disabilities Act Coordinator. Departmental staff services include review of sub- division plans, special permit applications, and most development proposals. Planning Department staff also prepares amendments and revisions to the Town's Subdivision Regulations and Zoning By- Law. Planning Department staff prepares and as- sists other Town Departments in grant application preparation. The Town's Subdivision Inspector, a position shared with the Engineering Department, inspects construction of unaccepted subdivision streets, sidewalks, drainage systems, and other required im- provements. The Inspector reviews construction cost estimates and proposed surety. During the past year, the Inspector has played a key role in manag- ing and supervising the completion of construction within subdivisions when the developer has defaulted. Completion is paid for by the developer's surety. Surety may be awarded to the Town by the courts or agreed upon in an out -of- court settlement. PLANNING BOARD GREAT WOODS LAND USE STUDY COMPLETED ..................... r rr., ;During the course of the year, the Planning Board held numerous public hearings to receive public 'comment on development proposals. In addition, the Board's consultant completed the Great Woods Land Use Study, a grant funded study resulting in several recommendations for proposed zoning by rH law amendments which will be brought to the An- nual Town Meeting in the spring of 1994. The Board also produced an updated town street map during 1993. The following table provides a summary of some of the Planning Board's activities over the past five years.

COMMUNITY NETWORKING......... UTILIZING RESOURCES ............... Social Services The role of the COA is changing. The impact of changing times, de- funding, down - sizing of social service agencies and downturn of the economy has put greater demands on community service agencies. Along with the needs of the elderly population, the needs of young families has grown as well. During the past year the Council on Aging focused on social service needs of the community for the low and moderate income families who are facing difficult life challenges. With the added part-time staff position of a licensed social worker the COA was better able to handle client intake for such needs as food, clothing, shelter, rent, fuel assis- tance, counseling and seek out other valuable resources within the area. A client application process was initiated to help determine client needs. A food pantry and furniture bank set -up several years ago is utilized daily to help clients get through difficult times. The COA works extensively with the West Side Benevolent Society especially during Thanksgiving and Christmas for kids to extend a Happy Holiday Season for all needy individuals and families within the Community. With funding from the United Way, Salvation Army and donations from local citizens enables the COA to assist these families on a day -to -day basis. The newly developed intake process has helped to service approximately 61 new families this year. Mental Health Services Frail elders needing more extended service provi- sion has seen the focus on mental health issues. Crisis intervention is being utilized more than ever before for problems regarding neglect, abuse, isola- tion, as well as mental health deterioration. The COA Outreach Program works closely with Bristol Elder Services and other local agencies to provide assistance to frail individuals. The Council on Aging is a mandated reporter for any individual who may be in jeopardy of abuse or neglect. Social Programs Along with many of our programs and functions at the COA facility, we incorporate social programs to help elders stay active and socially involved. Some of these programs that were a major success during the past year included: the Harvest Ball in October, the Heritage Food Festival in January, Valentine's Dance and Luncheon in February, St. Patrick Day program in March, Volunteer Recognition programs in April and May, the May Day Breakfast Celebra- tion the first week of May, as well as Grandparents Day in June. Continued support from the Town of Mansfield, community organizations and volunteers enable the Council on Aging to move forward to future en- deavors. Community networking, utilizing resources and working together is the goal of the Council on Aging to better service all community members. 22 MANSFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY EXCELLENCE IN LIBRARY SERVICES .. ............................... 1993 continued the trend of high demand for publi library service in Mansfield. With the publ', library's roles of providing support for independei learning, provision of popular materials for all a€ groups, meeting needs for recreational, cultura educational, and informational materials 1993 four us continuing our best efforts to meet Mansfield needs in these areas. During 1993, 140,000 iten circulated to library patrons. Many residents a tended a variety of programs hosted by the Librar: from Story Time for pre- schoolers through adu programs on a variety of subjects from computers snakes. In 1992, two Federal Library Services and C struction Act grants were awarded to the libn with funds for these grants actually arriving March of 1993. These additional funds, in amount of $17,782 enabled us to purchase a Pu' Use computer, with accompanying educatic software for use in the Youth Department, 1 many more purchases in books, magazines, vid( and audio- cassettes. Also, nine programs geared to parent -child pa ticipation were held. As part of this grant project, Wheaton College intern joined the library staff 5 eight weeks this summer. Two important staff changes occurred this year. In April, Jeannette Ferguson, our Circulation Librarian for ten years, retired. Mrs. Ferguson, known for her quiet pleasant service, was replaced by Barbara Sheffield. In July, Dinah Smith, Mansfield Public Library's Director for nearly 10 years, left to become director in a large public library. Ms. Smith guided the library through the construction and move to our new facility in 1989, as well as our massive conver- sion to library automation is 1987. Accolades and appreciation are extended to her! The Board of Library Trustees was busy all year guiding the policies of the library, providing funds for special programs, and forming a "Business Al- liance" with Mansfield businesses for the purpose of fund raising. With the resignation of the Library Director in July, they spent the fall conducting an extensive search for a new Director. A new Direc- tor was expected to join the library in January 1994. The Board looks forward to continued excellence in library service to the community. 23 Recognition of the Mansfield Library professional staff came with appointments of the Library Direc- tor as Chair of New Technology and Cluster Development for Eastern Massachusetts, the Children's Librarian to the Collection Development in Youth Services committee for communities under 25,000 in the Bridgewater Subregion, and the Reference Librarian to the Regional Reference Sur- vey and Development Group. As the American Library Association states: "Libraries can get you through times with no money better that money can get you through times with no libraries." The Board of Library Trustees looks forward to continued quality library services for the Town. VETERANS SERVICES ASSISTANCE WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT ............................. The Department of Veterans' Services is responsible for the administration of the veterans' assistance program in accordance with State and Federal laws. In addition, the Office of Veterans' Services is also the initial contact for veterans and /or their families seeking information regarding the numerous programs administered by other service organiza- tions. This past year brought a major change to the depart- ment; a new Director was appointed to fill the posi- tion vacated due to retirement. However, the one thing that hasn't changed is the clear indication of increased activity for the future. Due to the volatile economic conditions now prevalent, this Department continues to serve the needs of clients, younger and older, who are ex- periencing financial hardships and are seeking aid until such time as these problems can be per- manently resolved. When long term assistance is indicated, the Department continues to secure such aid, as is available and beneficial to the client, from other agencies to help reduce total financial assis- tance. The Department of Veterans' Services' mission and goal is to provide our clients any and all assistance possible and to do so with the assurance of dignity and respect. COMMITTEE ...... QUEST FOR EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE..... A. Ruppert Emil Giordano Lawrence Roberts James B. Millikan, Jr. Dr. Richard Warren left the Superintendency in July after announcing his resignation the previous June. After conducting a national search, the School Committee announced the appointment of Dr. Donald Nicoletti, who came to us from Putnam, Connecticut. Dr. Nicoletti as- sumed the position in August, and he and his family moved to Mansfield later in the fall. Jim Hunt resigned as principal. of the Qual- ters Middle School in the fall. Assistant principal John Hagerty was appointed acting principal, and Edward Deusser was named acting as- sistant principal. 24 25 Linda E. Chilson In the fall the School Committee approved several of Dr. Nieoletti's proposals designed to improve long -range planning and educational programs. Curriculum Study Groups (CSGs) will ensure that administrators and teachers will continually assess and upgrade the curriculum. The Capital Asset Management Plan will bring existing school build- ings up to code. The Long -Term Facilities Plan will address space needs brought about by continued projected student. population growth. EDUCATION MANSFIELD PUBLIC SCHOOLS MCET ... SCOLA ... NASA LEARN NET...

The past year was a busy and fruitful one for the Mansfield Municipal Airport. The long awaited project to reconstruct the paved runway finally came to fruition. The runway reconstruction project was completed on time and significantly under original engineering estimates. In addition to the runway work, the majority of the aircraft parking ramp area and almost half of the taxi -way paralleling the run- way were rehabilitated. The Airport Commission is now in the final stages of planning and obtaining federal and state grants to reconstruct the remaining taxi -way and ramp areas. At present, the prospects for obtaining monies to complete this project in fis- cal year 1994 look promising. Due to our ability to obtain federal and state funding earlier than planned for the runway reconstruction project, the savings realized on the runway project should entirely fund the Town's share of the current project. With the completion of the planned taxi- way /ramp reconstruction project, Mansfield Municipal Airport will have new or rehabilitated pavement on all major runway, taxi -way and ramp areas, making Mansfield one of the finest small Airports in the en- tire state. The Airport continues to be home to chapters of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) and the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). MANSFIELD CABLE ACCESS d y MANSFIELD CULTURAL COUNCIL PROVIDING COMMUNITY ACCE AND LOCAL PROGRAMMING.... The past year has brought several changes to Mansfield Cable Access Corporation.

In 1990, these two agencies merged to form he Massachusetts Cultural Council. The Council is now funded solely by the Megabucks game con - Jucted by the State Lottery Commission. The state agency receives an annual appropriation and support from the National Endowment for the Arts. The Local Council The Mansfield Cultural Council receives funds from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and then regrants funds to local individuals and organiza- tions'. The money allocated to the Town is deter - mined' by the State's Local Aid formula which is based on population and property 'values. Funds may only be used to support programs in the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences' (sciences that connect directly to our lives). Programs must also benefit the public. Funds may not be used to re- place existing publicly funded programs and may not be used as sole support for continuing projects. The policy of non - discrimination must be upheld. New projects are encouraged as are those initiated by local qualified applicants, those that serve many people, and those that encourage community in- volvement. Funding is based on the state fiscal year and grants are awarded through a reimbursement process. The Council's funding meeting for fiscal year 1993 was held on November 9, 1992. The total alloca- tion from the state was $3,120 and requests totaled $15,120. Many quality applications were con- sidered. The following projects received partial or total support: Attleboro Museum for workshops and demonstrations available to residents of sur- rounding communities, Mansfield Elementary Schools for students to attend Boston Ballet's "The Nutcracker" and for a visit from Mother Goose, Mansfield Parks and Recreation for "Concert on the Common ", the Town of Mansfield for restoration of historical Town records, SMARTS collaborative for theater, music and arts programs, and The Uncom- mon Theatre Company for their production of "Heidi". In order to be more informed and helpful to ap- plicants, members of the Council attended a workshop sponsored by the Attleboro Cultural Council. The meeting was held to review grant - writing procedures and administrative activities, and to discuss policies and needs. At Mansfield Cultural Council's most recent meet- ing, new officers were appointed. They were Chairperson Suzanne Shaver, Treasurer Dawn Mar- tin, and Secretary Marilyn Healey. Future goals were established to increase community awareness of the program, to gain input from the community, to review and clarify criteria for grant awards, and to attract new members. MANSFIELD HOUSING AUTHORITY MANAGING FAMILY, ELDERLY AND SPECIAL NEEDS UNITS........ 29 28 r� The Mansfield Housing Authority is a State funded agency whose prime responsibility is to provide decent, safe, and sanitary housing for low income residents in the community. Although the State is the regulatory agency for all of public housing, federal funds are also provided to support the existing Section 8 Programs. The various components of the federally subsidized Sec- tion 8 programs allow families and elderly residents to locate an apartment anywhere in the community and the Authority will subsidize a portion of the rent depending upon the family's income. Presently, the Authority manages 23 family units, 131 elderly units and 8 special needs units. The Section 8 program consists of 38 vouchers, 73 mobility Section 8 subsidies from other com- munities, and a small state voucher program. In addition, with the support of the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Mansfield, the Authority has recently received a federal contract for 25 additional Section 8 existing certificates which will be made available to local residents. The Mansfield Housing Authority consists of five board members, four elected by the residents of Mansfield, and one appointed by the Governor of Massachusetts. The board members presently on the Board of Commissioners are Chairman David Clemmey, Vice Chairman James Grady, Treasurer William DeBaggis, Member Alice Armstrong, and Assistant Treasurer Charles Antonuccio. IMPROVEMENTS In 1993 the Authority received permission to use Reserve Funds for new refrigerators and stoves for the elderly residents. In addition, the Authority ex- pects to receive permission to use additional funds to provide another 30 refrigerators and stoves in 1994. The State also provided the Authority with capital improvement funds to renovate one of the State aided homes that has been in dire need of repair. As a result, the Authority has another three bedroom home for a needy family in the area. A new fence is now present at the Cedar Court elderly complex and new chimneys will be installed when the weather improves. The sidewalks and roadways at two of the elderly complexes, Cedar Court and Bicentennial Court, have been repaired. The walkways at the family project located on Eddy Street have also been sealed. The community room and the offices located at Bicentennial Court required new heating units. In 1992 the heating systems kept breaking down on a regular basis. Six of the individual electric units have now been replaced. The Authority also hopes to be able to get state modernization funds to allow new siding on Bicentennial Court in 1994. The Authority office is located at 22 Bicentennial Court and is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. If residents wish informa- tion regarding eligibility for any program, contact the Authority by phone at 339 -6890. 30 MANSFIELD HISTORICAL COMMISSION DOCUMENTATION OF HISTORIC BURYING GROUNDS BEGINS..... Functioning with its full complement of seven men hers, the Historical Commission undertook sever long and short-term projects during 1993. The Commission advised the Massachusetts Hisi cal Commission (MHC) and local parties of potential impact of several proposed developm on the historic resources of the Town. Plans two proposed subdivisions, two commer developments, and a sports facility were stud and several sites were visited. The Commissii comments contributed to the completion of two chaeological surveys and a building inventory. The Commission conducted several local ne interviews and advised the Mansfield H Society on staffing and operating the Richardson House for the season. Some sion members interpreted the house for local children. The Commission actively sought the nomination of the Soldier's Memorial Hall and the Fisher Richardson House to the U.S. Department of the In- terior National Register of Historical places. The Commission provided the Town Manager, the Plan- ning Department, and the Municipal Building Com- mittee with information concerning the benefits of National Register listing and provisions made for historic buildings under the state building code and the Americans with Disabilities Act. As a long -term project, the Commission has begun to document the Town's historic burying grounds. The information contained on burial markers will be entered into a Memorywriter file by the Park and Recreation Department and will be accessible to researchers. Archaeological and historical informa- tion will be recorded on MHC inventory forms. There are seventeen potential burial sites in the Town, ranging in size from a single known grave to over three hundred. The information contained on the markers of five burying grounds has been docu- mented, and the records of two other cemeteries have been located. The project has begun and the Commission and Park and Recreation Department are seeking volunteers for assistance. The Commission gratefully acknowledges the assis- tance of the Park and Recreation Department with the burying ground project and with the main- tenance of Town historic resources, including bury- ing grounds and the Fisher Richardson House. CANOE RIVER AQUIFER ADVISORY COMMITTEE CANOE RIVER - SOLE SOURCE AQUIFER .............. The Canoe River Aquifer Advisory Committee (CRAAC) was established by an Act of the Mas- sachusetts legislature in 1987 to promote the regional protection of the drinking water supply within the Canoe River aquifer. The committee consists of fifteen appointed members, three each from the towns of Easton, Mansfield, Norton, Fox - borough, and Sharon. The Committee continued to conduct educational programs throughout the past year. The annual Canoe River Aquifer Spring Awareness Day was held in May at the Mansfield Fish and Game facilities. The event centered on the designation by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) offi- cials (based on the Committee's application), of the Canoe River aquifer as a Sole Source Aquifer. This designation acknowledges that the drinking water supplied by the aquifer cannot be replaced by another source. It gives the EPA authority to more closely review federally funded projects within the designated area and will be an additional educational tool. At the Awareness Day, four new groups (Sharon Water Department, Mansfield Water Department, Land Preservation Society of Norton, and Cub Scout Pack 193 of Easton) adopted sections of the Canoe River or its tributaries under Massachusetts Fish and Wildlife's Adopt -A- Stream Program. The Coordinator of that program, Joan Kimball, presented certificates and adoption agreements to the groups. In addition, youngsters and adults learned about stream organisms and representatives of the Town of Easton's Water Department gave canoe tours of the river. Committee members presented educational displays at the Earthlab Conference at Bridgewater State Col- lege and at Wheaton College's Community Volun- teer Day. In May, CRAAC co- sponsored a Biofiltration Conference which was organized and 31 conducted by Phil Barske of Easton. Chairman Wayne Southworth was a speaker at meetings of community groups, at legislative hearings and at lo- cal schools. Members developed plans to create an educational video about the Canoe River and its aquifer for presentation on local cable networks. One of the Committee's Foxborough representatives, Tim Hig- gins, volunteered to manage the project and repre- sentatives of the Foxborough Cable Co. offered to provide technical assistance. The Committee organized a Land Use Conference geared toward town officials, builders and en- gineers, which was held in October at the Martin Institute at Stonehill College. Speaker Robert LeMire discussed creative local regulatory mechanisms for achieving appropriate land protec- tion and development. At the monthly meeting in April, Leslie Luchonok, Inland ACEC Coordinator, Christy Foote -Smith, Director of Wetlands and Waterways at the Mas- sachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP); and John Simpson of DEP /Waterways gave a presentation on the formulation of Management Plans for Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) and an overview of Chapter 91 regulations as they pertain to those areas. A trash clean -up was conducted in September by Wheaton College students at Red Mill Road in Nor- ton and Easton. It was noted that the riverbed was dry enough to walk on because of low precipitation during the summer. Cub Scout Pack 193 of Easton conducted a clean -up at the same location later in the year. At the October meeting, George Yelle, President of the Norton Historical Society, presented an inter- esting slideshow on historical aspects of the Canoe River. Slides were shown from each com- munity. CRAAC's meetings alternate among the five towns on the first Thursday of each month at 1:00 p.m. The meeting dates and locations are posted at each Town Hall. Public participation is encouraged. The Committee also maintains a library of water - related materials at the Easton Water Department at 417 Bay Road, Easton. 0 0 0 0 0 32 SELF HELP DIRECT SERVICES TO OVER 1,100 MANSFIELD HOUSEHOL[ Self Help, Inc. is greater Brockton's Attleboro's anti- poverty agency dedicated to proving the quality of life for limited income dividuals and families, and to making all segm of the community' responsive to the needs of limited' income, disadvantaged, and mino populations.

It was about half its present size, consisting of what is now the east end including the front door. The rest of the house was added in 1800. In 1723, one Isaac Wellman came from Lynn with his family and purchased the house and 101 acres of land. In 1731 Mansfield separated from Norton. On August 31, 1731, Isaac Wellman invited the in- habitants of Mansfield to meet at his house to elect officers for the new Town. In celebration of this day the Mansfield Historical Society holds a "Founders Day" celebration at the house in August or September. In 1760, the house was sold to the Reverend Ebenezer White, the first minister. In 1763, after his death, the house was deeded to his newly married daughter Mary as her share of his estate. Thus, Mary White Fisher and her husband Lemuel Fisher who had come from Norton, assumed owner- ship. Lemuel and Mary Fisher had nine children. Dan born in 1781, is the only one of whose life we kr anything. In 1800 he married Hepsibah Fillebro, To provide them with a home, the house was larged to its present size by adding the west h At that time the original east half was considen altered. They had five children. Two of them known to us, Daniel, Jr., and Evelina. Da married Mary Johnston of Easton and built a he across Willow Street near the Rumford Ril which is still the home of a descendant. Eve married Ira Richardson of Attleboro, and couple soon came to live in the old house to care Evelina's invalid parents. Their nine children m Edward, Lloyd, George, Mary Lodoyska, Carol Emma, Martha and Clara. Emma married AIN F. Frost, a minister and Mansfield's first H School Principal. Martha was the last Richardson to dwell in house. She lived there alone, except for a i when her sister Caroline and husband were her, from the time her father died in 1881 until herself died in 1929.
