Pasquale BOARD OF SELECTAIRN Amos M. Robinson Open Communications The Board of Selectmen faced many challenges and saw many projects completed this past year. The one question which plagued the Board of Selectmen in 1995 con- tinues to remain unresolved. However substantial progress and agree- ment have been reached. The problems generated by and the benefits reaped from the MBTA location in downtown Mansfield have divided the community for years. In 1996, a private developer presented plans for the construction of a new MBTA station in the downtown area. This facility would house a day care center. This plan appears to have support from both factions in the debate. The final decision mats with the MBTA. The Board of Selectmen held many public hearings ranging from dog complaints to licenses for used car dealers as well as parking Ids. Com- munity involvement was encouraged and actively sought. During 1996, the Paine School was sold. The Town Of m that were housed there were moved to the new Town Hall in early 1997. The West Mansfield Fire Station was also sold as the Town prepared for the move into the new Plymouth Street Fire Station. In late 1996, the ribbon ac- ting and open house for this station was held. The facility was named after a former Fire Chief, Cy Bellavance. The Board of Selectmen, acting as Water and Sewer Commissioners, had a very busy and productive year. In 1996, many projects were completed including: the Morrow Street sewer project, miles of road resurfacing and reconstruction, and additional sidewalks and upgrade of old ones. Work continues on the Walsh Well Site with completion expected in 1998. The Foolish Hill water main project is due for completion in early 1997. A water distribution workshop was held with the firm of Tate and Howard as water consultants. This workshop was done to update studies completed in 1994. As a result of this workshop, a limited water ban was put into effect for the summer. When it was discovered that our water supply would fall drastically short of our anticipated summer needs, the Board of Selectmen felt it necessary to institute the ban. Looking toward the future, the Town began actively studying future well sites, in particu- lar, the Witch Pond am. Conservation videos were shown on Cable Access to help educate the public on means of preserving our water supplies. A low road salt policy was also enacted to protect present and future well sites. An active road acceptance program has resulted in ac, ceplance of many older streets, increasing our acquisition of Chapter 90 funds for mad and sidewalk work. Frank Coleila William C. Madan, Chairman Norman Mahar, Clerk As Road Commissioners, the Board of Selectmen was pleased to see t opening of a new parking lot on Noah Main Street. Still ongoing is t Williams Street Bridge project and upgrading on numerous sure These projects will continue over the next several years. The Municipal Capital Plan took giant steps forward. The West Mat field Fire Station was opened. The Park Row School conversion to t new Town Hall was completed in early January 1997. The new Poll Station with a centralized dispatch area for both Police and Fire Depa meats is progressing with completion expected in 1998. Board of Selectmen Regular Wednesday Meeting The Plymouth Street recreational ama continues to grow. The Board Selectmen, acting as Light Commissioners, made $1,000 available Inc. tot lot for preschool children. Memorial Park unprovemems includ • installation of new bleachers, addition of press boxes, and improv sanitary facilities. The Board is grateful to all the organizations, comn tars, businesses, and private contributors who have made our men tional and athletic areas places that all Mansfield residents can be pro of. The year was not without conflict and controversy. While reviewing t financial records for Cable Access a significant amount of revenue w unaccounted for. An audit of Cable Access is presently underway. T results of this audit will hopefully resolve the issues surrounding t unaccounted for funds as well as lay the groundwork for improved n cad keeping in the future. The Board of Selectmen requested information on the Emergency Medi- cal Services available within the Town of Mansfield. The Town ambu- 1 ow is staffed with EMT/Firefighters through the Fire Department. Paramedic services are supplied on an 'on call' basis from surrounding communities. While the Board recognizes the June service provided by our Fire Department, the question of providing a higher level of exper- tise was raised. A cownipce was Tormed to look at ways to provide readily available superior coverage while remaining fiscally responsible. This committee will look at ways to work within the present system as well as other options for services. The Tom Manager requested an early vote on his contract renewal. Ne- gotiations were begun and have continued throughout the summer. In late 1996, the Town Manager announced his inability to work with the present Board and his search for employment elsewhere. One area of concern which the Board has given priority to is that of per- sonnel policies. This Board began looking at personnel policies in an effort to upgrade them. Many areas have no written policies and those policies which do exist are sadly outdated. In an effort to promote fair and equitable treatment for all Town employees, all policies need to be and will be reviewed, revised, or rewritten. As the year closes, the Board of Selectmen wish to thank all the numer- ous volunteers on Town committees and boards for all their long hours of service and their dedication to improving Mansfield. In addition to the volunteers, the staff and employees of the Town departments deserve praise for thew continued efforts and commitment. The Board would like to especially note the retirement of three long time employees, Vincent Guerint from the Police Department with 39 years of service, Joan Cuti- Ilo from the Office of Treawrer/Colketor with 28 years of service, and last but not least, Laurence Gallagher, our Town Accountant. We wish them the best in their retirements. The NewTm" HoU The restoration of the old Mansfield High School, located at Six Park Row, began in February of 1996. Park Row School was built in 1911 and many of the original architectural features were kept intact. The construction was watched with interest by the residents ofMansileld and was surely the subject of much speculation during the process. The building is scheduled to be completed in January of 1997. drawn by. kusb&,yd MANSFIELD TOWN HALL SIX PARK ROW 0 Town Manager WiWam F.

The Selectmenfrown Manager form of gov- emacm is a system of government which cembines the strong polilicallpollcy leader- ship of elected officials with the strong managerial experience of an appointed local government manager. Over 71 million Americans have our form of government, including numerous local governments with over 100,000 citizens. Some examples am Phoenix, San Diego, Dallas, San . Antonio, and Kansas City. As we dedicate our new Town Hall, I wish to make my report a tomval recognition of those who have served this Town as Town Man- ager.

It has been a tremendous career experience, and I have fulfilled my career objectives beyond earlier expectations. This is a very demanding position with long hours and not much time for family. I have accepted the position of Town Manager of Northbridge, Massachusetts and will start April 28, 1997. As we approach the year 2000, I trust you will continue to support the Town Manager form of government and the professionals who provide you quality serv- ice. The opening of the new West Mansfield Fire Station, the Plymouth Street Recreation Fa- cility, and the Town Hall at Park Row made 1996 an epic year. We am ready to receive bids on the renovations to the Police Head- quarters at the former Town Hall at 50 West Street. The Capital Plan is a reality and, in my opinion, a huge success which makes you the envy of most Towns. In addition, our School plans are proceeding in a strategic fashion to respond to educational needs. The Town budget was approved and bal- anced within the pammetem of Proposition 2 1/2. We again earned a surplus of 5716,659 for the Fiscal Year ending June 30,1996. Municipal Insurance and Benefits Aggressive safety programs and improved equipment have continued to reduce premi- ums. Health Insurance benefit costs were lowered by one percent. As Chairman of the SMHG, we report a zem increase for 1997. This office was senzd in an exemplary man- ner by Christopher K Marion, Assistant to the Town Manager, who resigned in Decem- ber to attend graduate school in the MBA program at LaSalle University. Chris dem- onstrated the Importance of the Assistant to the Town Manager position, and I hope we continue to fund this position. Special recognition is made by me to Eileen G. Ouellette, Executive Secretary to the Town Manager, who reached her tenth arm - versary with the Town. I have never worked with a mom dedicated professional and most personal and caring individual in my entire cater. Eileen is an asset to the Town and makes this office a truly customer friendly place. I also wish to recognize our final team mem- ber Tmcy Pereira, Executive Secretary to the Board of Selectmen. Tracy is my adminislra- live connection to the Board of Selectmen. She has made dramatic improvements in the office in a very difficult job requiring exten- sive communication with officials in a very fast paced environment. The proposed FY1998 Manager's Budget falls within the confines of Proposition 2 Ill, meets the full requirements of the Sch000l Committee, and has funding for wage sellke ments. It is my hope that the Town Meeting will adopt my recommendations because they am well thought out and represent the collective recommendation of your dedicated Town staff. I most reiterate that them is no crisis in the future that Mansfield leaders cannot resolve. We have in place an orga El- ation that can and will respond if effectively utilized. Let us hope that we can overcome these obstacles and continue to serve you in the future. It is 'important that citizens de- mand the most from their local government and that we govern according to our Town Charter. Thank you very much for your friendship and support to me and my family throughout our tenure in Mansfield.

Projects such as the Citizen's Police Academy have introduced many town's people to the realities of policing our community. Lieutenant Waller Crickard and his staff are constantly refining and improving upon their various commu- nity involvement programs. Community Policing is a pannership between and among the police, citizens and thebusineas community. No one segment can do it alone. Police Officer Michael Ellsworth has worked many hours finc-tuning and trouble shooting our new computer operating system. Ibis system, with its dispatch, records and video imaging components, has gone a long way in modernizing and streamlining our operations. Three recruit officers, Ronald Sellon, Curtis Cinelli and Paul Hargadon, all local residents, graduated from the police academy in September 1996 and am serving their one year probationary periods. Recruit Offi- cer David Pepicelli, our CopsFast Grant officer, graduated from the po- lice academy in March of 1997 and has begun his probationary period. On December 31,1996, a long and illustrious career came to close with the retirement of Sergeant Vincent A. Guerrim. First appointed as a Special Police Officer at the end of 1957, he became a Regular Police Officer on September 28,1958 and was appointed to the rank of Acting Sergeant in November of 1980. He became permanent Sergeant on Feb - mary 11, 1983. Through many years of tumod and change, Sergeant Guerini has been a constant, steady figure. He will he missed and we wish him well in a well -eamed reAirement. A great deal of credit must also go to Sergeant Guerrin2s w'il'e, Helen, for dealing with the demands of Vinny's career and for supporting him throughout. A policeman's lot, as they say, is not always an easy one neither, by any means, is that of his wife. Thank you for years of dedicated service to the community of Mansfield. Mansfield Fire Department Firefighters/ENIT's Masters in Disaster" As Chief of the Department, f res ace ively submit the fol- lowing report of and for the Mansfield Fire Department, regarding Fire, Rescue, Hazardous Materials mitigation, and Ambulance services. The Fire Department is dedicated to and charged with the responsibility of protecting the lives and property of the citizens of Mansfield and those who work and visit within its boundaries from foes, bzardous materials, and other related incidents. Within the scope of our duties, we also provide rescue and ambulance service to the community. _'Deese services have become more and mom complicated and technical, with changes evolving almost daily. Tne Fire Service remains one of the most hazardous ocmrpa- flons resulting in a high ate of injuries and deaths. The challenge of providing the best possible service to the community while, at the same time, providing a safe working environment for our Pmfessional Firefighters continues to be an immense task. Safety, Ham, and Training coincide with Fire Preven- tion, Fire Detection, and Fire SupPrtssion as our popula- tion continues to grow and the demand for services in- creases. This past year, we have placed Training, Fire Pre- vention and Fire investigation M top priorities. All areas most continue and increase to heighten the awareness and knowledge of our Professional Fire and Rescue Personnel to better serve the public. This year, our 1977 100' American LaFance aerial ladder truck was repaired and is back in service. 'Ibis aerial lad- der truck provides this department with easy access to roof tops from single family homes to three story buildings, enabling the firefighters to quickly and efficiently release in gases that build during a blaze and double the hazards. The quick release of these gases make for safer entry and quicker suppression of the in. However, it is than to be- gin saying funds to purchase a new, mom efficient ladder mrck in three years. The ambulance that Mr. & Mrs. Joseph Gonsalves so gm- ciously donated us last year has been in very high demand and has immensely increased the number of calls this de- partment is able to respond to. By operating two ambu- lances, we've had to rely on mutual aid only a minimal amount of time this year, making this department mom self- sufficient. Chtm IInWam a. mmcy, n. Deputy Chief Robert Relevance This depadm:m is very active in the Student Awareness for Fire Edu lion (SA.F.E) program and supports it wholeheartedly, along with the school committee and school staff. Much of this program was initiated by a slate grant, and once our SA.F.E. officer was able to get the pngram up and running in the schools, and at a level that the students enjoy and expect to see the firefighters in their classrooms fiequcntly, the state then cut the 9=1 very substantially. Though the grant funds were reduced, much of the program has been kept in tact and was not intcr- mpted due to volunteer time and services by the firefight- ers and the S.A.F.& officer. This program is aimed at school children to teach them about the dangers of fire, what to do in case of a fire, who to contact in case they encounter a fire, along with many other aspects of our job. The prograni is geared specifically for each grade age group and tailored to keep thew interests by learning while having fun. The future will bring even more changes to the fire service. As these changes develop and unfold, we, as Professional Firefighters, must participate in the continual process of Training and Bdumtiun, and develop and implement reachable goals and objectives. The increased incident activity and the related increased number of patients transported to the hospital has placed a strain on our ability to cope with the demand. The time has come to increase staffing, specscally the addition of one full -Tune FirefighterIBMT per group, for a total of four new F1WResae personnel. 'Ibis need has been building for the past several years, and most be addressed if we are to meet the demand for service while ensuring the highly Proficient level ofeare that the citizens of Mansfield expect and deserve. I wish to offer my sincere thanks to the members of this department. They are a dedicated group of people whose dedications result in a tary positive impact on the quality of life for those who live In or visit the Town of Mansfield. Thank you for another great year and ajob well done. Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies at the new West Mansfield Fire Station - November 9,1996. (1 to r) William R.

Hyland, State Rep.; David Young, MBC Chairman; Robert Bellavance, Deputy Chief, William Williams, Town Man- ager, Amos Robinson, Selectmen i I, Emergency Management Agency "Volunteers in service to the town." The Emergency Management Agency is charged with the overall "Emergency Preparedness Planning" for the Town of Mansfield. This includes the coordination of all to- ,maces 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, situations. Each year-end provides us with an appropriate opportunity for troth refiecdon on the prior year and prospective consideration of the upcoming year. We must view 1996 as a year of change for the Emergency Management Agency. It was a year of challenges, accomplishments, and change. In excess of 10,000 volunteer hours were logged in our effort. We were challenged in each of our 12 general "call cuts" from acts of nature to several area lost or missing person searches. Each had its turn unique circumstances from which we were able to learn and better prepare for a similar occurrence in the future. Emergency activities included providing emergency power using our two troller- mounted generators to local residents, clearing of debris from roadways, winter storm emergency transportation via fora -wheel drive vehicles, emergency first aid, providing an informational "hot -line" during local emergencies, and the operation of shelters as required. Under our Mutual Aid Agreements, assistance was sent to area communities which included both equipment and manpower Our agency participated in a Statewide exercise which tested the Town of Mansfield's recently updated Emergency Operations Plan. Our participation in exercises of this type allow us to compare our actions with those of other communities during similar emergency situations. We can take those ideas which worked best and modify our plan to include them. In this manner our plan is notjust an outdated, dusty book on the shelf, . but, a continuously updated, workable plan ofaction for the Town. In May, Mansfield Director Robert B. Button was named as the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency's "Director of The Year" for 1996. The award was accepted by Director Button on behalf of all of the members of the Mansfield Emergency Management Agency at the Annual Public Safety Fair hosted by the South Weymouth Naval Air Station. Without the dedication and hard work by all of the members, this award could not have been possible. Deputy Director Albert O. Keyworth, who was in charge of the Communications Unit of our organimflon, passed away in July of 1996. During the 1970's, At served as the Director in Foxboro and, upon his moving to Mansfield, became very active with our agency. His in -depth know- ledge and ability to solve problems have been greatly missed by the membership. 10 Albert O. Keyworth, MEMA Deputy Director Commum- cations, December 12, 1914 - July 22, 1996 There are a total of 89 active members. The Emergency Management Agency is divided into five operational wits: Auxiliary/Reserve Police, Medical, Communicat- ions, Engineering, and Administrative. Individual wits are responsible for specialized activities ranging from the offering of Police Support with Auxiliary /Reserve Officers with ongoing Criminal Justice Training Academy education, EMT and first aid response and presence At various events, emergency cam- municatiws, as well as equipment maintenance and inventory control. Change continued during 1996. There was an ongoing morganivation which gave each member both primary and secondary responsibilities and a greater level of account- ability in each area. Using a "team" approach, all of our procedures and policies are in the process of being re- viewed and updated. Volunteers continued to train on the personal computer system updating their skills on "ARCHIE °, a Hazardous Materials Program, as well as the dailyAncident log, word processing, spreadsheet, and data base management pro- grams. Plans, resource inventories, and hazardous materials inventories within the Town are updated on a regular basis utilizing the various computer programs. During 1996, our agency was able to obtain approval for $5,100 in Federal Matching Funds under various Federal Emergency Management Reimbursement Programs. This money was returned to the Towns General Fund. Volunteers are always welcome. All that is required is a willingness and dedication to serve. The required training will be provided. Our success in 1996 was made possible by the efforts of not only our own membership, but by the inter- departmental cooperation, the business community who came to our rescue, and by the residents who shared their expertise with us that collectively made our goals achievable. Shelly Roberts and Sherry Buck - Carrying the torch- would be an apt description for Shelly and Sherry. They are probably best know for their tireless work and efforts producing the'Tbanksgiving Day Dinner for the Elderly' with the Friends of the Elderly volunteers. All members ofthe Buck and Roberts families volun. teer and help with the dinner. The dinner was originally begun by Judee Hanington and her friends. - Shelly has lived in Mansfield for 12 years and has assisted in the schools, Booster Club and 'Christmas is for Kids' through the West Side Benevo- lent Society. Through her setting an example, her daughters are now vol- unteering and carrying on the tradition. Sherry has lived in Mansfield for 18 years. She began volunteering in the schools bemuse of her children but has now branched out to include the Fah Housing Committee, her church and 'Christmas is for Kids'. Tradition is a wonderful thing especially when it is a tradition of volun- teering, sharing and caring. Thank you from a grateful community. Bill and Virginia Bellamy Bill and Virginia have lived in town since 1949 and have volunteered throughout their lives. Bill has been associated with Faster Seals, Lions Club, Daggert- Crandall- Newcomb Nursing Home Board, Mansfield Historical Society, and the Advenising Club for many, many years. Virginia has focused her many hours on the Natumt Resources Trust of Mansfield, Inc., the DA.R, Dag - ged- Crandall - Newcomb Nursing Home Board, the Jennie Copeland House, the National Preservation of Homes cable production and for 10 years she was a bird watcher and counter for the Audubon Society and assisted with the yearly eagle count at Quabbin Reser- voir. The BellamYs have enriched our community with volunteer hours dedicated to bettering the quality of life in Mansfield and Massachusetts. 11 Town TreasurerJCollector 77,epnrsing ofthe baton. As the new Town Treasurer /Collector, I feel it is fining that we recognize the contribu- tions of my predecessor Mrs. Joan Conlin. Report 1996 marks the final chapter of Joan's career as Treasurer /Collector for the Town of Mansfield. I have known Joan for many years through our mutual profession and the Massachusetts Collectors and Treasurers Association, in which she was very active. When Joan took over the job of Tmas- wer / Colector in 1970 she was eaming about $5,500 per year and administered a budget of about 3.8 million dollars. During that year she earned about $9,800 in interest on in- vestments. During her final year she eamed $51,000, administered a budget of almost 21 minion and earned more than $450,000 in interest on investments. Some may look at her salary and say she was making a lot of money but if you look at the investment earnings, when she fast started she earned for the Town about twice her salary but when she left she earned more that eight and a half times her salary. Joan also filled in as Town Manager a couple of times and it has been said she burned the midnight oil many times just to keep up with all she had to do. What an act to follow. In the early days of Joan and myself, the job was basically to collect the money and pay the bills. All was done by hand or typewrit- ers. We were not expected to aggressively invest money. In fact, many of the methods we use today to invest did not exist in the 70's. Checking accounts did not earn interest and the shortest CD was 30 days. Savings accounts were restricted. Administration of health insurance was usually just Blue Cross. We have come fun circle. Today daily in- vestments are required. We are expected to be good investors, aggressive collectors, semi - lawyers, experts on health care and a computer whiz And Joan met all these challenges very well. Il was easier for me to step into this position than someone who had not experienced all the changes. I am sum Joan had a lot to do with the decision to em- ploy me. Wbatdoesthe Treasurer/Coikctordo7 Well, the collector does not just collect the taxes. We have grown in tax valuation from 34.9 million in 1970 to 1.29 billion in 1996, 12 Richard V. Boucher, Treasurer /Collector - Which means a lot come taxes to collect. By the way the tax rate in 1970 was $74.40. We now issue about 7,500 Real Estate and Per- sonal Property Tax bills twice a year, and about 20,000 Excise Tax bills. We collect about 24,000 water and wade waterbills, and 100,800 electric bills each year, plus a host of many miscellaneous receipts. Boy, did we need to update our computers. Then we have to pay all the bills. We have payroll of about 600 employees, which in- cludes the school department and pay bills to about 400 vendors each week. Remember we pay all bills including the School De- partment This is along with borrowing and investing, reports, etc. Then in our spare time, we chase after those who lake a little longer to pay their bills. The job Just never seems to end. When we finish with one billing another follows close behind. In conclusion I would like to THANK Joan for her great contribution to the Town of Mansfield. Also, I thank the Staff she trained so well, who has helped me tremendously in this time of transition. Building Department- "PubEc Safety Through Code Enforcement" - The Building Department is responsible for the inspection of all construction at various stages of each project to determine cempliance with Federal, State and local codes.

The responsibilities of the Inspector of Buildings include review of all phases of construction plans for residential, industrial and commercial buildings. This includes new construction, alterations, additions and renovallons. Each project must be inspected at least twice, with many projects having multiple Inspections at varying stages of construction. Inspections also include public and private places of assembly, i.e. schools, hotels, day care facilities and meeting places. As designated by Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A Section 7, the Inspector of Buildings is also the Zoning Enforcement Officer and is respon- sible for compliance with the Town of Mansfield's Zoning By -Law, as well as Massachusetts Geneml Law Chapter 40A The Zoning Act.

The Highway Department Is re- sponsible for the repair and maintenance of all roads, side - watks, sewers, drains, parks, commons, islands, cemeteries and public buildings within the Town. The Highway Department is also responsible for the repairs and maintenance of municipal vehi- cles. The Hi ;hway Department contin- tied m ,is road improvement pro- gram this year and oversaw the expenditure of $1,000,000 on the ,construction or asphalt overlay of approximately thirty streets, construction of approximately one mile of new sidewalks with sloped granite, and the installation of catch basins and pipe to im- prove drainage on a number of our roads. Along with the road program, a great deal of time was spent on improving and maintaining the Towels recreational facilities. The Plymouth Street Recreation Facil- ity is approximately sixteen acres and includes four multipurpose fields, one baseball/softball field and site preparation bas begun for a lot for "and five tennis courts. A number of improvements were made at Memorial Park this year which included new bleacher seats, a new press box, complete renovations the rest room facifi- ties, and an extensive turf man- agenhent and maintenance pro- gram for the fields.. Also, site work preparation has begun for the new football field. The regular operations include the mowing and maintenance of 811 Town property, street and sdde- walk sweeping, brush cutting, catch basin cleaning, cold patch- ing, and signage. These tuks are done on a daily basis throughout the year with priority given to matters effecting public safety. During the winter months the Highway Department works round the clock, if necessary, to provide safe travel. The Engineering Department cur- rently consists of a full time Town Engineer and a part-time engineer- ing clerk and engineering intern. Under the direction of the Town Engineer, the Department works to provide the Town with profes- sional assistance, knowledge, and support pertaining to Engineering and all its functions. The Department designs vmious municipal projects, reviews plans and specifications, coordinates consultant activities, bids and awards projects and conducts in- house inspections for capital im- provements, public works, and other projects in which the Town has an interest. Among the projects completed this year were the design and in- stallation of sewer for Morrow and Noonan Streets, the design and construction of a new munici- pal parking lot at North Main Street and Samoset Avenue, and the completion of the lust phase of sealing and repairs of old sewer mains to reduce inflow and infil- tration. Some of the projects currently in progress include: Coordination of Williams Street Bridge redesign to be followed by bidding and contraction; Route 106 improvements; Fulton Pond Data spillway reconstruction; Mill Pond Dam reconstnic- tion; Tremont Street sewer exten. sion; Branch Street sewer replace- ment; Sewer Master Plan; Addition of Sludge Compost facility building; • Update sewer intermunicipal agreements; • Complete street acceptances for all eligible streets; • Development of new Witch Pond and Walsh Wells, and; • Design parking plans for Li- brary and Memorial Park Water Pollution Control Facility The Water Pollution Control Facility consists of a 3.14 mil- lion gallon per day advanced wastewater treatment plant and a sludge landfll/compost operation. The facility and present staff of thirteen (13) has the primary responsibility of protect- ing ground and surface water from pollution by wastewater and winage generated by the towns of Mansfield, Foxboro and Norton. The effluent (water cleansed by the treatment process) is discharged into the Three Mile River, which flows to the Taunton River and eventually into upper Narragansett Bay. The facility regularly meets or exceeds federal, state, and Real water quality standards for all paremetea except one. The exception is copper, for which an extremely low dis- charge standard of 9 micrograms, (9 pans per billion) has been adopted by the federal government. During 1996, the facility treated 1,004.726 million gallons of wastewater, The avenge daily flow to the plant was 2.752 MOD, which represents 87.6 % of the facilitys capacity. In- cluded in these flow figures am 6,581,846 gallons of septage (an avenge of 25,314 gallons per day based on 5 day per week weekday operation of our plant). The 1996 average pollutant removal we; greater than 99 %. This residual in the generation of 1,953,448 pounds of sludge, of which half was buried in the sludge landfill during the winter months. The remainder was composted. We are currently evaluating the feasibility of composting sludge year -round as a =meansto conserve landfill space. During 1996, the engineering firm of Camp,Dresser & McKee conducted an Intensive Plant sampling Program and collection system study to identify ways for our plant to meet effluent copper discharge limits. in accordance with their rec- ommendations, plant staff have initiated a series of experi- mental process modifications designed to capture additional copper within the plant. Changes in wperge receiving pro- fees are anticipated as well. Additionally, our Industrial Pretreatment Program has worked closely with local industries in an aggressive effort to r;duce .copper from industrial sources. As a result of this effort, in- dustries have voluntarily begun to pursue ways"' reduce in- dustrial wastesbeams to fl TOwa sewer. This will reduce the amount of copper and other heavy metals entering the plant. During 1996, the Town undertook a major colledmas system maintenance project to reduce the infdtation of groundwater into the system. This project resulted in the sealing of leaky sewer mains and manholes, reducing the need to treat groundwater. Water Department -"Water... our most precious resourm" The Water Department consists of staff of eleven and has the primary responsibility of providing an adequate safe drinking water supply to nearly one hundred percent of the residents of Mansfield. It does this through a system of eight wells and approximately ninety miles of pipe. Them Is 4.5 million gallons of storage capacity between the Foolish Hill underground reservoir and the Oxford Road standpipe. This storage capacity is equal to mom than two days average demand. The department also has the responsibility of main - tenance and repair of the distribution system, meter inslallation and readings, operations and maintenance of eight well and five corrosion control systems, and grounds maintenance of the well and reservoir sties. The construction of the potassium hydroxide comosion control station at Cate Spring, Witch Pond and Prescott N8 and q9 well sites were completed. Also, the construction of the Robert G. Walsh Wellfield is progressing. Foolish Hill water main replacement is eighty percent completed. Oxford tank painting will begin in April and is expected to be completed by May. The Water Department is continuing its leak detection program and cross connection and backflow program in order to protect our water supply. _ Canoe River Aquifer Advisory Committee Mansfield Representatives: Leonard Flynn, Robert Jones Edward Tadufo - The Canoe River Aquifer Advisory Committee conducted D I monthly meetings on the best Thursday of each month between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm in the Towns of Sharon, Foxborough, Mansfield, Easter, and Norton.

SRPEDD is ecatinuing to seek a regional consensus on alternative mutes, and is assisting the META to evaluate the Attleboro, Stoughton and Middleborough alternatives. • Southeastern Massachusetts joined the Intered with the debut of SRPEDDS web site in August. The site contains data and informa- tion about every city and Town in the region, and can be reached at http:11u,w%srpeddorg. • SRPEDD approved $1,583,559 in grants from our regional traw- ponation allocation for five'enhancemenP projects. included wen, three bicycle paths (Fairhaven, New Bedford and Swansea), waters- (ion of the ship Ernestine in New Bedford and region mad runoff Inventory project. • A Regional Housing Needs Study was completed that inclodes: Needs Assessment; Handbook of Resources; Fiscal Impact Analy- sis; Opportunities for Regional Cooperation; and Survey of Condi- tionwSocial Service Agencies. • An Intennodal Transportation Report was prepared by SRPEDD for the New Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce that addresses and makes recommendations for the linkage of the airport, seaport, rail, bus and highway works of travel and freight transfer. • The SRPEDD Commission approved a Regional Land Use Poll cv Plan and successfully applied for a grant for implementation in 1997. The pion sets forth guldance for optimal use of our most pre - cious resource, our land. 19 Selectmen's Rep. Bill Otlaviani Not Present: Leonard Flynn • The regions Overall Fcormmic Development Program was mr- pleted and certified by the U.S. Economic Development Admini- stration, making the region eligible for federal economic develop - went grants from EDA. • SRPEDD conducts a district-wide traffic counting program and maintains a computer file of all available traffic count data tha gh- oul the region. SRPEDD undertook counts at 85 locations this year. • SRPEDD also compiled computerized accident records for seven communities. Ibis data is used to publish the regions 25 most dan- gerous intersections and road segments. This information helps with the redesign of the dangerous areas. • SRPEDD worked with the two regional transit authorities, GATRA and SRTA, on issues such as route evaluations, marketing, service to elderly and handicapped persons and overall data compilation and analysis. • SRPEDD continued its affiliation with the South Eastern Economic Development (SEED) Corporation, which makes loans to small businesses for expansion. In 1996, SEED made loans to 118 small businesses in the amount of $12.6 million. These loans are projected tocmam632newjobs. -- • SRPEDD operates the Southeastern Massachusetts Data Center, Providing information to businesses, cities and towns, and indi- viduals. - SRPEDD also received in 1996 the evaluation of "Outstanding' from two federal agencies for planning work done in the region: the Depart- ment of Transportation and the Economic Development Administration. SRPEDD was created to serve the cities and towns of southeastern Mas- sachusetts. We an, governed by elected and appointed officials from a0 the cities and towns. We look forward to serving you in the forum. Article 1 of the NRT by -laws: 'Purpose of NRT shall be to acquire and preserve natural resources and wildlife areas for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations, to preserve and protect historic sites, to educate the public about the wise use of natural resources and to work with other organizations having similarpuryoses.: . This purpose statement was written in 1971 by a group of volunteers who were alarmed about the loss of open space and wildlife areas in Mansfield due to the rapid rate of development. They studied the 1954 Blatt Report (part of the mater plan) and concen- trated their efforts in the areas recommended for open space preservation. These areas were: the Great Woods and green belts along the Cance and Wading Rivers. Since that time, the NRT members, working with the Conservation Commission, have devoted time, money and energy to ac- complish these goals. We have assisted in the acquisition of 502 acres of conservation land in the Great Woods and helped in the Acquisition of a greenbelt along the Cance River. The NRT also owns 2 small parcels in the Great Woods and 89 acres adjoining the Plymouth Street recreation area. Membership in the NRT, a non -profit corporation, is open to all who share our commitment to protect and preserve the open space and wildlife areas of Mansfield. NRT members at she walk 1973: (I to r) Raymond Goyea Qand owner), Charles Meszoely, Harry Chase, Rob Webb (I to r) Virginia Bellamy, Pegge Flannery, Janice Meszoely, Louis Andrews, Leonard Flynn, Meredith Holford, Victoria Connor, Marydee Flynn Conservation Commission: Individuals Committed to Protecting the Environment Since its establishment in 1964, the Mansfield Conservation Commission has worked closely with, and relied upon, volunteers of one sort or another. The Commission itself is made up of seven members who fieely give their time for both evening meetings and Saturday morning site walks. The evening meetings have, on many occasions, gone long into the night. The site walks, typically held early Saturday morning, can be pleasant walks through the woods, but they can also involve putting up with bugs or the cold, fighting your way past briars, and, mom often than not, _ ending up with damp socks after wading through a wetland. Both the public meetings and the site walks require the Commissioners to apply a mixture of an understanding of the Slates Welland Regulations and a dose of common sense as to how best protect Mansfield's important natural resources. - - The volunteers of the Commission do not operate in a vaaum. They rely upon other volunteers to help in resource protection and management. The Natural Resources Trust of Mansfield, Inc., a local land trust, works hand -in -hand with the Commission to study, acquire, and managesignifr- caut resource areas, especially the Greet Woods. The effons of several Smut organizations, fmm Cubs to Eagles, have brought children, teenagers, and parents out into the woods to clean -up trails, take out trash, and other activities which help maintain our valuable conservation land. The Mans- field Garden Club has volunteered to plant and maintain the entrance area to the newest conserva- tion area on Oak Street. 1996 was a busy year for the Commission. There were public hearings for 22 single family homes, 3 Municipal projects, 7 subdivisions, 2 commercial projects, and 12 small scale, low -impact pmj- ects. The entire work load of the Commission and the Conservation office is made Basler though by the efforts of the volunteers mentioned above, and all of the residents of Mansfield who call, write, and care about the natural resources of Mansfield. 20 n to r) Christopher Boyer, Gregory Cauldwell, Shirley Hanlon, James Burke, Not Present: John Smith, Jill Dmhan Albanese, Greg Pastore Health Department "The Quality of Life Has Many Facets" The Board of Health and the Health Department are charged with protection of the public health and environment. Our role is to help you with the problems you may encounter in these areas. In late summer, the project to fluoridate the water supply was begun and should be completed in the spring of 1997. The mechanics of the program and limited operation is supported by the Commonwealth through the Department of Public Health. Operation of the system will be performed by the Water Department. - The Board of Health has sponsored many Household Hazard- ous Waste Colkdions A common ccurrence in all events Is discarding of chemicals which were never used or large quantities with little use. Purchase wisely, buy only what you will use. _ The Community Visiting Nurse Agency holds a variety of clinics such as cholesterol screening, flu, childhood immuni- zation and others, as well as variety of nursing services. We are fortunate to have the skills and services this organiza- tionprovides. A giant was received this fail from the Depanment of BOA. momenta] Protection for a Community Septic Management Program. This program will greatly aid in planning and im. plementing the extension of the sewer collection system through the use of a geographical information system.

Over one hundred years ago the kgislatum created a Commission to study the condition of public health in the Commonwealth. One of the recommendations of the Com- mission was that each City and Town have a local Board of Health to address the concerns of the community. Those Boards of Health are given very powerful tools to aid them in Iheirtasks, such is the seriousness of their chargo. Activities: In the past year, the Board of Health has brought fluoridation to the forefront as a project of great importance. It has sought a variety of grants to provide better service to the residents. Its prime activity is the pursuit of mundane tasks which am the essentials ofquality of life. 21 P to r) Eric Butler, Leonard Flynn, Wane Frederick Not Present: Donald Daniels, Richard Devine, Richard Secher, rackVultagglo Shirley MacPhee Shirley has lived in town for 36 years.

Tobacco Control Program "Education and Enforcement" Serving the towns of Mansfield, Norton and Sharon, the To- Wren Control Program is funded by the Massachusetts De- partment of Public Health from a 525 tax on each pack of ciga- rettes sold in Masw chusehs. The program staff works with the Boards of Health and thew agents in each of its towns to in- crease public awareness about the numemus issues concerning regulations regarding the sale and use of tobacco. Merchant education was conducted in each of the towns to make individual retailers aware of state and municipal regula- tions regarding the sale and use of tobacco products. Using adult and youth volunteers, compliance checks where con - ducled to determine if merchants were selling tobacco products to youth under 18. Spot checks were repeated with violators, warnings issued and where applicable, Baca imposed. 22 As she works behind the scenes, Shirley's personal rewards are many. Her pleasant smile and reassuring ways add much to the children and families of the Mansfield community. we are rewarded and thank you. Ten smoking cessation programs were also held within the three towns. The various programs were all well attended and results tended to be very positive. Residents of each of the towns are encouraged to use the wide variety of infonualion and resources about tobacco available through theprogram.

Without the many people who volunteer their time, many clients would be unable to receive valuable services that limited staff cannot fulfill. For FY 96 the COA focused on three new programs within the COA that included a Music Program which helped to create oor new musical group -Me Silver Songbirds - who meet weekly and our new Crafts program that meets twice weekly. Our new Friday Lunch Bunch pro- gram, held the first Friday of each month, has become very popular. All three programs have been added to the may ongoing programs and services of the COA to encourage socialization, learning and an almos- phem of fun and acceptance. Each year our flail population continues to be our greatest challenge. Left to their own care after hospitalization, our trail elders rely on the COA for meals, bewpodation services, companionship and help through the many hours of red tape that elders are experiencing through the Health Camdilemma. - I,Home Health Cam need is in high demand. Many elders have few family members living in the area and those families who do, are strug- gling to care for their own children as well as elderly members. The COA's mle is to provide as many viable resources, programs and serv- ices necessary for the continuation of care for both our clients and to provide continued support to family members. - Volunteers Make The Day The position of Volunteer Coordinator began in April of 1989. In May the COA moved to their new facility on Hope Street. With appmxi- mamly50volunteers, the following lists some of their activities: - ♦ The reception desk is covered by six regular volunteers, three and one half hours each day In the aftemoon. We have four backup volunteers. They coverthe morning receptionist in her absence. ♦ They label our newsletter that goes out to approximately 1200 Sen- let residents in Mansfield each month ♦ A telephone masswancc program (Lifeline) is performed each day from the center and on weekends by volunteers from their home. ♦ They make hand -made items for their Annual Holiday Fair and make many donations for other special "Friends" functions during the year. ♦ The line dancing group is served coffee by our coffee hostess. ♦ For people signing in for SHARE at the COA, a volunteer is hem the first of the month on Mondays. We also pick up materials from the Canton SHARE warehouse. Many volunteer their time to work at the warehouse in Cannon. ♦ We have several volunteers shopping and delivering food to hem& bound seniors. ♦ Each month an Intergenerational program with the School Depart- ment, the Visual and Performing Arts Department, is presented with the Seniors hosting and baking cookies for refreshment. During the Holiday season we am bury helping the elementary students in their art classes making ornaments for the bees at the commons. In the elementary reading classes you will find Senior volunteers. ♦ The two no and pneumonia clinics are held at the COA and we provide six volunteers for registration. ♦ The first Friday of the month, a lunch is cooked and served by vol- onteers to forty seniors. Entertainment Is also provided. We usually have five volunteers for three hours each luncheon. ♦ We am fortunate to have volunteer escort drivers to transport Sen- iors to their appointments when the regular drivers are not available. This year our volunteers made one hundred and ten trips. ♦ Often Senors need shopping done for them. Our volunteers either take them or do it for them. This giving them an outing or a visit. ♦ Our daily lunch program is served by our two loyal volunteers who have been with us for many years. 26 Q to i) Gretchen Elliott, Mary Butler, Sonia Walgreen, Not Present: John Palau, Donna Harrington, Jeanne Heaton, Frank Nilson Friends of the Drop In Center The Friends of the Drop in Center have been fund raising for the Council on Aging for mom than 17 years. They raise funds through bake sales and crafts fans to assist with programs such as fuel assistance, trips, so- cials and parties not covered through the C.O.A. regular budget. They have assisted many Sector Citizew throughout the years bringing joy and the to others. (I to r) Ruth Boynton, Ada Milliken, Betty Dupree _ Social Services "Empowering Families to he self- Sufficient" Entering into the third year of funding, the.Social Services Departments focus this year was to provide families with workshops as a support and empower- ment. Some of these workshops titles in- cluded: Household Management, Self Esteem, Assertiveness Made Simple, Time Management, Planning for your Home Purchase, .Co-dependent Rela- tionships and Substance Abuse, Semi - his Household Budgeting, Healthy Lives and Healthy Relationships, Prac- tical and Perfect Parenting. For FY '96, over 300 families needing assistance are now in the open care fde. Approximately 12 new families per month are being added to our files. Most of these families am now working families on a very low income who are faced daily with increased demands of escalating bills and crisis situations. Food is a top priority in most cares. The Welfare reform Act is doing away with a large majority of food stamps to re- cipients causing the increased demand for food items. Social Services, in col- laboration with west Side Benevolent Society, has been working to expand the food pantry to service more families within the Community. - Mental Health Issues, liousing, -.and Medical Assistance am just a few of the demands that Social Services continues to address on -a long term basis. Social Service needs will continue to grow due to the decreased resources of Federal and State funding to families. working together with local non -profit groups within the Community is a major Goal for future endeavors. Daisy Girls Scoms Brownie Girl Scouts 27 Cub Scouts The Mansfield Public Library kept pace with technology in 1996 with Internet access for the public.

Bbcco, an on -lire index to 1000 magazines and journals, is directly accessed by the public at the same terminal used to look up books. Circulating CD-ROM titles and books on compact disc are also now additions. The Readees Friend, a monthly newsletter, was created to keep patrons informed of newly Published titles. Two book clubs were formed to give readers a chance to read and di u books together. i the library Crotty, a local library student, beg to organize local history materials and create a guide to these resources for the public. A volunteer program to provide individuals with help learning computer software was a great success. In April, library users were surveyed to voice thew needs, concerns and opinions. The Mans- field Library received high marks and a great deal of valuable informa- tion was gathered on the public's thoughts on new and presenesewices. Results were incorporated into a Five Year Plan which will be used as a blueprint for library services into the 21st century. A circulating colle0- lion of descriptive videos for the visually impaired with many popular titles was also initiated. In 1996, the Library Tmstees sponsored programs on gardening, preserv- ing photographs, the Internet and growing rases. A gift from North Easton Savings Bank provided those on selfealcem and attention deficit disorder. The Friends of the Library sold afghans depicting current and past scenes of Mansfield in a major fiadmiser to benefit the library. They - provided newcomers to Mansfield with complementary maps along with thew generous support of the library collection and museum lasses. The Youth Department was even busier than usual this year, adding a school -age storyhour to those for preschoolers. ..The Summer Reading Program Included presentations on line dancing, tables, birds, of prey, music and crafts, all funded by the Friends. Kids' Cat, an icon based computer catalog for children, was installed to make it easier for young .people to took up books in the A13LE system. A state grant provided theequipmenl.

Reading can be fun ....... Between February and September 1969, the Literacy Department of the New Century Club organ- ized a'Friends of the Library Gmup'. This group.supponed the library both financially and with their services. Just like today, this group relied upon an annual book sale io increase their treasury. The Friends of the Library had a busy year. The sale of the Mansfield afghan was a huge success; to date about 400 afghans have been sold! A "Book Swap' at the Mansfield train station was started and the Friends started a program to donate complimentary maps to newcomers in town. The Annual Book Sale was the most successful yet! Monthly programs included: Ken Gloss from the Brattle Book Store in Boston; mystery author Susan Conant; a photo preservation work- shop and the annual bus trip to the Flower Show in BoSlon. o to r) Bethlhomas, Joanne Bros, Vivian Sweet, Chris Cormier Hayes, George miner, Leslie Pasch (Library Director), Nancy Breef- -Pilz Dot Devnew Dot cannot attribute her volunteering skills to any one person or reason but she can pinpoint her beginning.

Thank you Dot from the genera- tions of young girls guided by your knowledge, enthusiasm, quick wit andsmile. 29 Veterans' Services "Caring for Those Who Gave for Us" The Office of Veterans' Services is responsible for the administration of the Veterans Assistance Pro- gram in accordance with State and Federal laws. Additionally, this department is quire often the initial contact point for veterans and their families who may benefit from any of the numerous programs admin- istered by other agencies. As always, a number of veterans are referred to this office for assis- tance by members ofthe American Legion, the DAV or the VFW. In addition to mfemals to Vereans .Services, the members of these organizations have repeatedly demonstrated their concern for thew fe0ow veterans by providing assistance, when needed, in the forms of transportation, help with small projects and, occasionally, small monetary giants. State law also requires that Veter- ans' gavel are maintained and that US Flags are placed at the grave sites on Memorial Day. With the assistance of a large number of private citizens who have volun- teered, a Graves (Cemetery) Kato- nation Project which began in 1994 has continued and has been in- strumental in saving and restoring hundreds of gravestones. Many of those gravestoms, veteran and non- veteran alike, which are lo- rated in the cemeteries mainaiced by the town, have historical sig- nificance and are invaluable and ineplawable should they be lost to neglect. Placing Bags at veterans grave sites has been accomplished annually through the efforts of individuals and their families as well as organizations such as the Scouts and Veterans Groups. Without !heir help, trying to com- ply with the law in a timely fash- ion would be extremely difficult as over 1,000 veterans graves am marked in this fashion. Most re- cently, the Garden Club of Mans- field has provided and planted seasonal Bowers at the veterans graves in the Old Town Cemetery, a project which beatified the cemetery and enhanced the pres- ence of those veteran graves on the. Memorial Day Holiday. Debbie Wirth Debbie is married to Robert (Bob) Wirth, the mother of three children and has lived in town for 10 years.

The implementation of Education Reform has educators reexamining numerous as- pects of school programs, structures, cunicu- lum, performance standards, finance, pro- fessional preparation and administrative requirements. Changes in standards for stu- dents, teachers, organizational policy and slmctures have all been made as a result of the Fducation Reform Act. "Drew changes have had an impact on all school districts and school programs, including vocational technical education. This past Lune the smoteselem Regional School District completed its twenty-ninth year of operation. Southeastern offers twenty -four secondary and seven post- secondary technical training progmms. On October 1, 1995, there were 1,262 students enrolled in the school district.. Mansfield$ share of the St 1,655,758 fiscal 1997 school budget is $7,475. This is 3.33% of the assessment and represents forty -t" students. Federal grants such as Carl Perkins.

The Mansfield Municipal Airport on Fruit Street was originally the site of the old Brawn Trotting Track constructed in the late 180(Ys. After World War 1, Mrs. Florence Boltz of Mansfield, who purchased the property in the 1890's, became interested in aviation and had the land around the trotting track cleared to be used for aircraft landing. Emest Brooks be- came the fast of several men who would op- erate the airport for Mrs. Boltz during the 1920's and 1930's. luring that it=, the ab- port became a mecca for aviation pioneers from near and far . In September of 1943, Mrs. Boltz was awarded the Harry F. Gug- genheim Award for Aviation Achievement. in 1942, the United States Navy acquired the 206 acre'site for use as an aviation cadet training field. On September 27, 1942, Naval cadets from the field 'bombed' the Town of Mansfield using four pound flour bombs. 13. Arthur Dandolet, the Commanding Officer of the fried, was one of those killed in the tragic November 28th Coconut Grove fire in Boston. After approximately one year of op- eration as a Naval training base, operatdOw at hianstield were discontinued and personnel and equipment, including -the yellow Stear- man N2S, were transferred to Squantum Na- val Facility. _ Following World War B, the facility was de- clared surplus and was acquired by the Town of Mansfield from the War Assets Admini- stration in 1947. At that time, the facility consisted of two unpaved runways. In May 1995, the Administration building and a ban - gar were destroyed by rue. In 1959, a 60 by 60 foot metal hangar, which still stands, was erected. In 1971, the anent era of the airport began with the establishment of a five- mother Airport Commission to oversee the operation of the airport. A series of operators leased the airport beginning in 1978. Unfor- tunalely, none of the operators were success- ful in thew eadeavors. In December of 1982, a trace was signed by the Airport Commis- sion with Powell Aviation. In 1991, the Commission approved a sublease of the op- eration from Powell Aviation to the anent operator, King Aviation. Beg -inning in 1989, the Airport Commission began a successful series of capital impmve- ments including upgrading of m Tway light- ing, a new beacon, and construction of secu- rity fencing. In 1993, the Commission m- cedved funding for a complete reconstruction of the paved runway, rehabilitation of part of the taxiways and apron areas. In addition, the Airport Commission removed underground fuel storage tanks and replaced them with a state -of -the -art above ground facility. The c urent Ahpor( Commission has spear- headed the completion of approximately one minion dollars in improvements to the airport facility. The vast majority of the funding came from grams from both the Federal and State Aviation authorities. The total tort of the one million dollars in capital improve- ments to the Town of Mansfield has been approximatelys8,000. himsfleld Municipal Airport is now one of the forest general aviation facilities in the State of Massachusetts and is heavily utilized by local busioesses as well as local aviation enthusiasts. The airport has hosted balloon and car festivals and is currently home to a chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Associa- tion and owing ofthe CivilAir Patrol. The five volunteer members of the Airport Commission share a dedication to maintain- ing the airport as a Town facility. We wel- come visitors and encourage them to drop by the airport.

Yeas ago, an unused maintenance building at the Town sludge plant off Fruit Street was adapted and is still being used to shelter animals. This building was modified to include dog cages; and over time, the shelter began accepting cats and otherurimmed family pets. The present Animal Welfare Committee was revitalized in early 1995 and is now mmprlttd of seven members who meet monthly at the Town Hall. Among other items, the AWC Is responsible for • Recommending to the Board of Selectmen rules and regulations conceming the operation of the shelter, standards for the collection, care, custody and disposal of dogs -at -large and public nuisance dogs. • Reviewing the operating budget for the animal shelter and making recommendations. • Recommending changes in the law regarding the control of animals. While the AWC is comprised of Town residents who volunteer then time and efforts, Mansfield also is fortunate to have a small army of shelter volunteers, many of whom live in Ju muuding communities. On a daily basis, these volunteers Iced, exercise, and clean up after the ani- mals. In addition to the compassionate care, it is the volunteers who find new homes for the animals through the adoption process. The ANC works very closely with this group of volunteers to resolve issues and identify opportunities to hnprove animal cane. In addition, the AWC continually participates in fund - wising events to help pay for ani- mal medical care not paid for by the Town and for supplies used at the shelter. Using volunteer veterinarian services, the Committee has greatly expanded this medical pre to eliminate incoming diseases and ensure that only healthy animals see available for adoption. The volunteers continue to serve from their heads. In addition to their time, they sometimes spend their own money to provide optional medi= cal care for the animals. The volunteers tend to shy away from publicity except when they see an opportunity to adopt out a cat or dog. . . Today, the Mansfield Animal Shelter is a busy place. More than 250, animals am handled by the shelter every year and the number continues' to grow. These numbers do not include the large number of dogs picked up as strays by the Humane Officer and routinely returned to their own -. ers. Of the number of cats and dogs received at the shelter in 1996, -52% were surrendered and 48% were found stray. In 1996, approximately half of the animals were cats; and more cats are adopted from the shelter than dogs. Sixty three percent of the total adoptions in 1996 were cats. The shelter has an adoption return ate of 88 %, much higher than the 760/. mounded in the Previous year. Most of the people adopting animals from the shelter (600/4) are non - Mansfield residents. The dog population in Mansfield is increasing at approximately 3.61% every year. The total number of dogs handled at the shelter in 1995 was 113. In 1996, the number grew to 121. This figure is expected to grow to approximately 135 dogs by the year 2000. Mansfield is slowly outgrowing the present shelter. Them have been many overflow situations during 1996 and this will continue as the Towns population conttnues to grew. To remedy the situation, the AWC I, currently working on plans to build a new shelter that will better serve the Tom and possibly the region. 36 The Committee: P to r) Dick Davenport, David Cass, Adah Brill - :ass, Gesnine Parrs, Matt Miller, Mike Lattari, Not Present SWTalavea The Volunteers: Row 1: Lnllle, Johnson, Donald Weikel, Tarn Harter, Mary Johnson, Jeremy flax, Row 2: Sally Wiml, Kelly Row 3i Chip Johnson, Leslie Mansfield Housing Authority James Grady, Chairman Chutes Ahlonuceio, Vice Chairman (Governor's Appointee) William R.

The Authority consists of a five member board, an Executive Director, and sire staff members, Fourofthe Commissionemamelectedandoneis appointed by the Governor. The Executive Director is employed by the Board of Commissioners and is responsible for the daily operations of the Authority. The staff consists of three maintenance personnel, a senior accounting clerk, a receptionist and a leased housing coordinator. Elderly Housing The Mansfield Housing Authority manages one hundred thirty-one units of elderly housing: Cedar Court with twenty-nine units, Park Court with forty-two units, and Bicentennial Court with sixty units. Family Housing Them am twenty-three family units: one two-bedroom home, one four - bedroom he=, and twenty-one thmebedmom units. Special Needs Housing The Authority also manages a home for handicapped individuals located on South Main Street. The home accommodates eight handicapped per- sons. The house is staffed by trained personnel who am aRliated with the Department of Mental Retardation. Although the Massachusetts Executive Office of Communities and De- velopment is the regulatory agency for a0 of public housing, federal funds are also provided to support the existing Section 8 Programs, The Authority presently has 35 vouchers and 25 Section 8 certificates under lease. The Authority also hosts 100 mobility Section Its that lease up in the area Government Subsidy The Authority, at the present time, requires no subsidy funds for daily operations, salaries or utility costs from the Sate. Them Is a reserve ac- count in the amount of $127,000. Other funds, although not in the re- serve accounts, establish an overall amount of $169,000. Whenever im- provements are required in order to provide the residents with safe and sanitary housing, funds from this account may be used. The State mks that at least $77,000 be kept in reserve at all limes. For this reason, grants am sometimes requested for modernization funding for extremely costly projects such as new conslmdion and rehabilitation of existing proper- ties. 37 Improvements The Board of Commissioners in the past two years, has approved the replacement of sixty reBigemlors and stores, the repair of asphalt walk- ways at Bicentennial and Cedar Courts, the purchase of a new tmck, a new furnace, and the addition of a new chimney ilning in the single fam- Ily home on Dean Street. Also approved by the Commissioners was the installation of new windows in the ten homes on Eddy Street, the cor- rection of a dampness problem between walls at the 689 -1 complex lo- sated on South Main Street and the installation of new, heating units at the Bicentennial Community Room and the offices of the Authority. In addition, the Commissioners approved the conversion often homes on Eddy Street and the Hawthorne Court Complex to gas heat. The pur- chase of a new washer and dryer was approved by the Board of Com- missioners and installed at Bicentennial Court in order to offer better service to the residents. All of the above repairs and additions were accomplished by the utiliza- tion of reserve funds. In 1993, the reserve funds amounted to $132,000; in 1994, $127,000, and in 1995, $169,000 after expenditures. In 1996, afterpurehuing additional refrigerators for Cedar Court and contributing $30,000 to the Eddy Street refurbishment and Lead Paint Removal Proj- ect, $127,000 remains in the actual reserve accounts. The Eddy Street project is now complete and the ten single family homes, due to the lay- out of the second Boors, are now listed and rented as three bedroom units. Other projects that have been approved by the Commissioners and completed by the authority, with the assistance of State goods, am as follows: an updated fee alarm system and two back -up emergency lighting systems have been installed at Bicentennial and Park Courts. A complete refurbishment of a three- bedroom home located on West Street has been accomplished. In 1993, the Authority received a grant in the amount of S26,000 of modernization funding from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Communities and Development to refurbish the home on Weal Street. Of this amount, $10,000 of Authority reserve funds in addition to $16,000 of grant funding were required. Recently, the Eddy Street property was refurbished and made lead free. Included in this project were new doors, exterior painting, new bulk heads, and a complete siding and refurbishment of 55 Eddy Street. The cost was $114,000. Of this amount, the Commonwealth invested $84,000 and the Authority contributed $30,000. - The project to side Hawthorne Court, a State funded complex consisting of eight three - bedroom units, is already underway, and hopefully, will include siding for Bicentennial Court, an elderly complex consisting of 60 units. However, the funds to side Bicentennial Court has to be taken from the Authority's reserve funds. The cost to side the complex is an- ticipated to be at least $30,000. The funds to side Hawthorne Court will be provided by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and is anticipated to be in the neighborhood of$83,000. Goals Looking to the future, the Authority hopes to have the Bicentennial Court and Hawthome Court projects completed during 1997. no Authority also hopes to purchase a truck for the maintenance department and to replace webers and dryers at Pads Court. The Finance Committee is comprised of seven volunteers appointed by the Board of selectmen.

With hnple- memation of the capital plan in full gear, 1996, was the busiest year in the history of the MBC. Activities of the past Year: • continue to Bustin JordaNJackson project • completed new West Mansfield Fire Station • within a month of completing new Town Hall • started Robinson School additions/renovations • redesigned Police Station for bidding in 1997 The municipal projects were the most talked about issue in town in 1996. The MBC started publishing a monthly news letter to help dis- tribute "the fads'. The Municipal Building Committee (MBC) had its busiest year ever in 1996. Members Bill Antoine, Larry Carpenter, Rich Feeley, Jim Liddick and David Young, Chair spent many days, nights and weekends over- seeing the implementation of the Capital Plan - Mansfields Future. Early in the year both the new West Mansfield Fire Station on Plymouth Street and the transformation of the former Park Row School into a new Town Hall were under coasirdion. Each project encountered the typi- cal construction related issues that needed to be resolved along the way. In the end both injects turned out well and are facilities every resident in town can be proud of = The Fire Department moved into the West Mansfield Fire Station on November 6, 1996 and responded to the first call fore this new facility at 10:20pm that night. The 8,000 square foot facility includes three ap- paratus bays, offices accessible to all the public, male and female hous- ing and a twining room. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on No- vember 9,1996 with over 100 people in attendance. The budget for this project was $835,000.

Today, the Order has over 1,3 million members, mate and fe- male. in over 2,200 Lodges.. in all 50 States and several Terri- - miles Early in its history , the Order supported groups such as the - Salvation Army and the Red Cress. in 1871, a benefit was staged for the victims of the Great Chicago Fire. Other fund raising activities have been held for victims of the Seattle fire, - the Johnstmm Flood of 1889, the San Francisco earthquakes of 1906 and 11989, Hurricanes Andrew and Inki; the tomado in Wisconsin.in 1992, and_ -the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. Patriotism has always been a hallmark of the Elks. In 1907, the Order was the firsi orgsmi cation to mandate observance of a day to honor our_Nafiorfs Flag. More than 40 years later, fellow Elk, President Harry Truman, signed into order a decla- ration- naming Flag Day; June 14, as an official national holi- day. (Five Presidents have been members of the Elks.) To - highlight the importance of this day in the Town of Mansfield, the local Lodge opens its annual Flag Day ritual to the public, with the Ritual being performed qn the South Common. Many OF the Town's children have come to learn the history of our _ Flag by attending this performance. - - The philanthropic arm of the Order, The Elks National Foun- dation, was created in 1928 with a donation of $100,000 from the Grand lodge. A Massachusetts native, John F. Malley, was the originator of the foundation -. he served as Grand Ex- alted Ruler of the Order in 1928-1929.

'A little known fact _ about Elkdom is its relationship to the Armistice which ended World War I. The reason the Armistice Trent Into effect on the "eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" is that General 'Blackjack Pershing", Who was instrumental in the signing of the Armistice, was an ardent Elk,'and the "eleventh flour" is significant to Elks throughout the country - when we are gathered, we pause at that time to aid to desery ng s , - largest granter of scholarships in the country, - - - remember "our absent Brothers "r Today, Elks nationwide work second only to the Federal Government.
