Board of Selectmen

The Board of Selectmen faced many challenges
this past year. The year began with the resignation
of the Town Manager who began his term in 1990.
The Treasurer /Collector, Richard Boucher, was
appointed Acting Town Manager and sat in office
for nine months while a search for a permanent
manager ensued. A Town Manger Search
Committee was established consisting of busi-
ness, resident, Finance Committee, Employee,
and Selectmen representatives. A permanent
Frank Colella
Town Manager, John D'Agostino, was appointed
in late 1997 and began working December 1,
1997. We have made great strides on many issues
during the short time Mr. D'Agostino has been in
office.
One major issue the Board continues to realize is
development of a commuter rail station to better
serve the residents of the Town of Mansfield. We
are rapidly moving forward with the project with
valuable assistance of our newly hired Town
Manager. Another issue the Board of Selectmen
faced this year relative to the commuter rail, was
the Amtrak High Speed Rail Project. Many meet-
ings were held with Amtrak representatives to
voice the Selectmen's and Townspeople concerns
with the project. We have been and continue to be
concerned that fencing be installed along the
entire length of the commuter rail to ensure the
)lie safety of our residents. We will continue to
involved in this issue; our voice will be heard.
other major issue the Board of Selectmen act-
as Water and Sewer Commissioners continues
keep a close watch on is the Town's water
trees and wastewater capacity. Many water
rkshops were held with the water consultants,
a and Howard, and wastewater consultants,
mp Dresser & McKee. When it was discovered
[t our water supply would fall drastically short
our anticipated summer needs, the Board of
lectmen felt it necessary to institute a water
n. Realizing the Town's need for additional
[ter sources, the Townspeople voted to appro-
ate funding for the purchase of the Witch Pond
-11 property. Work continues on the Walsh Well
e with completion expected in 1998.
1997, many projects were completed including:
Branch Street sewer project, Foolish Hill
[ter main, miles of road resurfacing and recon-
uction, additional sidewalks and upgrade of old
es, and the Gilbert Street bridge project.
iditional topics of the Board of Selectmen's
;clings when acting as Road Commissioners
;re the Williams Street bridge project, Route
6 improvements, a proposed Route 140/ I -495
terchange, and a proposed "No Through
Trucking" designation for Gilbert, Bungay, and
Otis Streets. Community involvement was contin-
ually encouraged and actively sought on all pro-
jects.
As a result of the Selectmen's request for infor-
mation on the Emergency Medical Services avail-
able within the Town of Mansfield, an Ambulance
task force was established. At the Fall Special
Town Meeting, the Townspeople accepted the
Task Force's recommendation to keep the ambu-
lance service within the Town and provide an
enhanced EMT -P service with the appropriation
of funding to hire four paramedics.
The Board continues to give priority to an updat-
ed Personnel Policy. Shortly after his hire, Mr.
D'Agostino established a Personnel Policy
Committee to review the Town's Policy. It is
hoped that an updated Policy will be in place in
early 1998.
The Municipal Capital Plan took giant steps for-
ward. The new Town Hall opened in January
1997 and renovation of the former Town Hall into
an expanded Police Station continued throughout
the year. The new Police Station with a central-
ized dispatch area for both the Police and Fire
Departments is progressing with completion
A Wednesday Selectmen's Meeting
expected in 1998. The Robinson School project
nears conclusion and is scheduled for completion
in early 1998.
Tracy Pereira, Selectmen's Executive Secretary
The restoration of the old Mansfield High School
located at Six Park Row concluded in early 1997,
and the Town Offices relocated to the building in
late January 1997. This project, however, contin-
ues to be the topic of many meetings.
The Plymouth Street recreational area continues
to grow with the support of the Community.
Toddler Town became a reality this year providing
recreational activities for our preschool children.
Land was also cleared as the initial phase of foot-
ball field construction. Memorial Park improve-
ments also continued this year with the recon-
struction of the lower practice field. The Board is
grateful to all the organizations, contractors, busi-
nesses, and private contributors who have made
our recreational and athletic areas places that all
Mansfield residents can be proud of.
As the year closes, the Board of Selectmen wish
to thank all the numerous volunteers and Town
Committees and Boards for all their long hours of
service and their dedication to improving
Mansfield. The Town Manager Search
Committee cannot go without Special
Recognition. The long hours and many meetings
the committee put in is reflected by the end result,
our new Town Manager. In addition to the volun-
teers, the staff and employees of the Town
Department's deserve praise for their continued
efforts and commitment. The Board would like to
especially note the retirement of three long -time
employees, Judith Scott, Town Clerk, Cathy
Walker, Department of Public Works Bookkeeper,
and Joseph King, Department of Public Works.
We wish them the best in their retirements.
We thank you all for affording us the honor of
working for you. We will continually strive to
improve the day -to -day quality of life for all our
residents.

Treasurer /Collector. For the eight months I
served as your Acting Town Manager, I believe

As of this writing, we are now under the direction
of Mr. John D'Agostino, formerly Blackstone's
Town Administrator for the past three years. Mr.
D'Agostino was chosen by the Selectmen to suc-
ceed Mr. Williams and took over the helm on
December 1, 1997. Mr. D'Agostino graduated
from Syracuse University with a Bachelor of Arts
with a minor in Public Administration from the
Maxwell School of Government and Public
Administration. He received his Master of Arts in
Human Resources Development from the
American International College and his Executive
Masters in Public Administration from the
University of Hartford. John and his wife Linda
and two boys, John and Jacob, will officially
move to Mansfield in March. Please join me in
welcoming John and his family to Mansfield.
Under his direction, I am sure the Town of
Mansfield will continue to thrive and remain a
model community in which to live and work.
PUBLIC SAFETY
Police Department
Arthur O'Neill, Chief of Police
The past year has been a very interesting and chal-
lenging experience. We moved out of our West
Street headquarters in late May to facilitate the
rehabilitation of the former Town Hall Police
Station into a modern police facility.
The Police Department was temporarily head-
quartered at the Main Street Fire Station during
the construction project. The Fire Department
was a very gracious host throughout our displace-
ment and we thank them greatly. Living condi-
tions were tight and all personnel, both Police and
Fire, did an outstanding job accommodating each
other in very tight quarters.
We moved into our new /old station during the late
winter and, after many years of dangerously inad-
equate space and conditions, your Police
Department has a modern, state of the art facility.
For this, and the great investment which the Town
and its people have made, we are very, very grate-
ful.
10
With the advent of the new police station cen
ized dispatch is becoming a reality. Police off
and firefighters will no longer be used in the
of a dispatcher. Professional dispatchers will
cover the telephones and base radios under
aegis of the on duty police commander.
For the second year in a row our community 1

citizens of Mansfield and the Police can sh
credit for this milestone as such a feat can only
accomplished through joint effort between
people who drive on our roadways and the pol
who enforce the traffic laws on them.
Police Officer Paul Hargadon has been underg
ing training in the emerging specialty of dr
recognition. He is well on his way to being cei
fied as a Drug Recognition Expert. As a "DR
certified officer he will be able to detect the vii
al signs of a person who is under the influence

made by the Chief and the luck of the draw at

property of the citizens of Mansfield and those
who work and visit within its boundaries from
fires, hazardous materials, and other related inci-
dents. Within the scope of our duties, we also
provide rescue and ambulance service to the com-
munity.
These services have become more and more com-
plicated and technical, with changes evolving
almost daily. The Fire Service remains one of the
most hazardous occupations resulting in a high
rate of injuries and deaths. The challenge of pro-
viding the best possible service to the community
while, at the same time, providing a safe working
environment for our Professional Firefighters
continues to be an immense task.
Safety, Hazards, and Training coincide with Fire
Prevention, Fire Detection, and Fire Suppression
as our population continues to grow and the
demand for services increases. All areas must
continue and increase to heighten the awareness
and knowledge of our Professional Fire and
Rescue Personnel to better serve the public.
Our second ambulance, donated in the end of
1995 by Mr. & Mrs. Joseph Gonsalves, has been
in very high demand and has immensely increased
the number of calls this department is able to
respond to. With the addition of four paramedics
and four of our current personnel being trained to
the EMT -I (intermediate) level, this department
will be more capable than ever to treat patients
with state of the art equipment and medical
knowledge. The EMTs at the Intermediate level
will have the ability to begin an IV if necessary
and establish an airway, and the paramedics can
use highly sophisticated defibrillators and drug
therapy; things we have never been able to do
before without the support of the ALS unit from
another town.
This department continues to support the Student
Awareness for Fire Education (S.A.F.E.) program
wholeheartedly, along with the school committee
and school staff. Our S.A.F.E. officer has kept the
program up and running in the schools at a level
that the students enjoy and expect. Though the
grant funds were again reduced, a good portion of
the program has been kept intact due to volunteer
time and services by the firefighters and the
S.A.F.E. 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 program is geared specif-
ically for each grade and tailored to keep their
interests by learning while having fun.
The future always brings 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
Education, and develop and implement reachable
goals and objectives. The position of a firefighter
is not always geared to putting out fires. Much of
their day is consumed by EMS (emergency med-
ical services) calls requiring the ambulance and
the quick thinking calm of professional EMS per-
sonnel. Firefighters spend considerable time
studying and training to maintain their high level
of EMS expertise. With the population of
Mansfield growing ever more, the need to
increase staffing in this department has become a
major focus. This need must be addressed if we
are to continue to provide our high level of care
that our citizens deserve.
The Plymouth Street fire station has been in op
ation for one year now. Recently, we had a ve
successful open house, allowing the public
come in and see our operations, while the childi
could meet "Sparky" the Fire Dog and the fi
fighters. They sat in the trucks, asked all kinds
questions and were visibly intrigued. It also gt
the firefighters an opportunity to discuss the 1
service and its operations with the general pub_
All in all, it was extremely successful w
approximately 300 people attending through
the day.
I wish to offer my thanks to the members of
department. They are a dedicated group of pe
who work under sometimes adverse conditi
whose dedications result in a very positive im
on the quality of life for those who live in or
the Town of Mansfield. Thank you for am
great year and a job well done.

reencv situations.

were challenged in each of our 14 general
I outs" from acts of nature to several area lost
hissing person searches. Each had its own
[ue circumstances from which we were able to
n and better prepare for a similar occurrence
to future.
;ency activities included providing emer-
power using our two trailer mounted gener-
to local residents, clearing of debris from
12 13
roadways, winter storm emergency transportation
via four 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, aid
including equipment and manpower was sent to
area communities.
During the water emergency members assisted the
DPW by aiding in the location of violators of the
ban. A generator and lights were provided during
the cleaning of the water storage tank.
Deputy Director Ken Thompson attended a three -
day course which taught the basics of designing
and evaluating an exercise at the local level. From
this several "surprise" drills were run for our
membership.
Our agency participated in a statewide exercise
that tested the Town of Mansfield's recently
updated Emergency Operations Plan. Our partici-
pation in exercises of this type allows us to com-
pare our actions with those of other communities
during similar emergency situations. We can take
those ideas that worked best and modify our plan
to include them. In this manner our plan is not just
an outdated dusty book on the shelf, but rather, a
continuously updated workable plan of action for
the town.
There are a total of 91 active members. The
Emergency Management Agency is divided into
five operational units: Auxiliary /Reserve Police,
Medical, Communications, Engineering, and
Administrative. Individual units 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 pres-
ence at various events, emergency communica-
tions, as well as equipment maintenance and
inventory control. Junior members, those 13 to 17
years of age with parental permission, were
recruited and provided service during the year at
various events. We plan to expand this program
during 1998.
Change continued during 1997. There was a con-
tinued reorganization which gave each member
both primary and secondary responsibilities and a
greater level of accountability in each area. Using
a "team" approach all of our procedures and poli-
cies are in the process of being reviewed and
updated.
Volunteers continued to train on the personal
computer system updating their skills on
"ARCHIE ", a Hazardous Materials Program, as
well as the daily /incident log, word processing,
spread sheet, and data base management pro-
grams. Plans, resource inventories, and hazardous
materials inventories within the town are updated
on a continuing basis utilizing the various com-
puter programs.
During 1997, our agency was able to obtain
approval for $8,659 in Federal Matching Funds
under various Federal Emergency Management
Reimbursement Programs. This money will be
returned to the Town's General Fund. Volunteers
are always welcome. All that is required is a will-
ingness and dedication to serve. The required
training will be provided.
Our success in 1997 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 which
collectively made our goals achievable.

64.8 % of the facility's capacity. Included in these
flow figures are 6,738,370 gallons of septage,
which represents a 2.6% increase in septage
received over the previous year. In 1997, average
pollutant removal was greater than 99 %. This
resulted in the generation of 2,813,084 pounds of
sludge, half of which was buried in the sludge
landfill during the winter months. The remainder
was composted. In conjunction with our consult-
ing engineers, we are currently evaluating the fea-
sibility of composting sludge year -round as a
means to conserve landfill space and as a benefi-
cial reuse of bio- solids (sewage sludge).
We are installing a SCADA SYSTEM (an
acronym meaning supervisory control and data
acquisition) at the WPCF and sewage pumping
stations. The SCADA system will provide plant
staff with the ability to continuously monitor and
control the six sewage pump stations located
throughout the town. This system will provide
staff with the ability to adjust operations from the
treatment plant computer via telephone data line
commands on a twenty -four hour per day basis.
Camp Dresser & McKee has completed Phase I of
the Sewer Master Plan. Phase II is scheduled to
commence in late January or early February,
1998. This is a comprehensive mapping and
analysis of the Town's sewer system and waste
water treatment facility as it relates to present and
future needs.
Our Industrial Pretreatment Program (IPP) moni-
tors 6 significant industries (SW's) through a pro-
gram of regular site inspections and intensive ana-
lytical sampling. In addition, we periodically
monitor dozens of other non - significant industries
on an annual or biannual basis. Overall, a total of
68 inspection events were conducted in 1997. The
program also received 75 industrial self monitor-
ing reports from industries, issued 20 notices of
violation and 13 administrative orders, and saw
completion of 2 compliance schedules to correct
discharge violations.
COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT
Planning Department
Shaun P. Burke, AICP, Director of Planning
and Development
Planning Boards, as researched and reported by
Planning Board member Marydee Flynn, were
first established in Massachusetts in 1913 and in
Mansfield in 1920. Boards at that time were
required to make studies of the resources and
needs of the town and make plans for the proper
housing of its people.
In 1936, the legislature improved local planning
by authorizing towns to establish a planning board
under the Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter
41, Section 81A -81J. Once a town formed an 81-
A planning board, the previous board was to be
dissolved and a new board appointed to carry out
all planning functions of the town. In February
1953 at a special town meeting, Mansfield voted
favorably, 115-58, to adopt this 1936 legislation.
Zoning and planning, pretty much as we know it
today, began in Mansfield.
During that first year the board worked on many
Shaun P. Burke, AICP, Director of Planning and
Development
projects and contributed more than 5,000 m;
hours in their volunteer efforts. While holding
legal hearings for zoning petitions, they al
worked on rent control, air pollution, Back B;
drainage, subdivision regulation and Master PI
study, conservation of natural resources and
long range capital budget.
20
In 1954, with their increasing work load and
added responsibilities of the 1936 legislation,
planning board proposed to organize
"Planning Board Associates " — citizens
would share their knowledge and experiei
with the planning board to help develop the:
ing by -law.
Then, as now, the planning board was kei
aware of the importance of citizen involver
and participation. As these townspeople of
early 50's worked together to benefit Mansf
we are fortunate to have capable and dedic
individuals willing to give of themselves and I
time to protect the quality of life, prosperity
the environment of Mansfield.

Great Woods. Votes were taken to fund the pur-
chase of 7 parcels totaling 71 acres. Through the
end of 1997, all but one of the parcels have been
acquired. The Commission was also pleased to
learn in early December that a grant for $60,000
had been awarded by the state's Division of
Conservation Services to assist in the purchase of
these parcels.
Lastly, efforts were made to better manage our
conservation land holdings. By working with the
Natural Resources Trust of Mansfield, and with
local Scout troops, old trails in the Great Woods
have been re- opened, and new trails have been
blazed. Our goal for 1998 is to create a network
throughout the Great Woods with marked trails
and posted trail maps so that area residents can
better enjoy these important natural resources.

In 1997, the Zoning Board of Appeals held hear-

granted for projects associated with single - family
homes. Five Variances were denied. There was
one appeal of a decision of the Building Inspector,
and the Board voted to uphold that decision. One
Variance was granted to the Town for the installa-
tion of new signage at the recently opened Town
Hall complex on Park Row. Four Variances for
business or commercial projects were approved,
and one was denied. Two applications were made
for Special Permits for the expansion of existing
apartment complexes. Both applications were
denied; a court challenge has been filed for one of
these denials.

The Park and Recreation Department works with
and serves two separate boards. The Park
Commissioners are the Board of Selectmen and
the Recreation Commissioners who are listed
above. As per the Town Charter, the Recreation
Commission members are appointed by the Board
of Selectmen and serve a three -year term. No
more than two members' terms expire each year
thus insuring continuity and experience in the
Commission. They meet the second and fourth
Mondays of each month. Residents are welcome
to all public meetings.
The Commission sets policies and program fees
for the Department. They review programs, new
program ideas and financial records making sug-
gestions as needed. Along with their monthly
meetings, they additionally serve this community
"in the field."
Commission members are often seen at programs
helping with a concert, parade, craft show, garage
sale, etc. They are a great source of practical
knowledge and "labor:' They are greatly appreci-
ated by the Recreation staff and, we are sure, the
residents of Mansfield.

"Frail Elderly - A Continuum of Care"
Some of our most vulnerable Elderly in the com-
munity are those whose health problems and spe-
cific unique situations focus on needing the
Council on Aging's Outreach Services. The
Health Care spectrum is constantly changing
causing decreased services through hospitals, and
nursing homes; combined with the escalated cost
of medicines, health insurance, and medical costs
have left elders with few options but to care for
themselves at home. The Council on Aging's
Outreach Services provides Visitation and Intake
for meals delivery, homemakers, home - health
needs, crisis intervention. The COA Outreach
works with local organizations to help elders with
abuse problems, neglect, and family issues, and
mental health problems. Our service assists with
Financial/Budget Assistance, Housing Issues,
Home repair problems, and help to set -up
appointments for medical needs in: physical ther-
apy, chemotherapy, and dialysis sessions. Our
Outreach Works with Sturdy Hospital for the
Lifeline Response Systems, and the local CVNA
(Community Visiting Nurse Association) with in-
home services and transportation. COA Outreach
works with and visits those Mansfield elders who
are in local nursing facilities so that they can stay
in touch with issues of the community. Families
of Elders have a great many questions and con-
cerns when trying to care for an Elderly family
member especially those with dementia or
Alzheimer's disease. All of these needs come
through our Outreach Services at the Council on
Aging.
This year the Outreach serviced over 90 frail
elderly clients who required in -home services and
will continue to need assistance on a long term
basis. It is our goal at the Council on Aging to
provide the best services possible to all of our
elders in the community especially to our frail
population.
For FY1997 the Council on Aging also focused

Linedancing that enable those who join to st

encourage Senior Adults to take advantage
these free programs for better health.
The New C.O.R.I. Law (Criminal Offenc
Record Information) went into effect in March
1997 mandating that every person for emplc
ment or volunteer who has contact or works w
elders through the COA must undergo a Crimit
Background Check.
The Arts have become a focal point within
COA. This year the COA started a Hand chi
Program; called the "Silver Chimers ". Althot
the group is new; they have performed at two s
arate programs within the COA, and hope

d help through Social Services for housing
itance, food, clothing and monetary funding.
i the help of the community, volunteers,
tside Benevolent Society, Churches and many
)ort organizations helped many of these fami-
return to a normal life again within a two to
e week period. The Social Services
artment plays a key role in crisis intervention
icially when there is a tragic incident such as
East Street Fire.
Services continues to intake approximately
v families per month needing all types of
nce and showed a 10% increase in service
,on for the year. Fuel assistance continues
)and. Fifty -eight new applications were
sed for the year.
Firesetters Program continues to be a high

sfield Fire Department, the Social Service
irtment works with families to help to identi-

fy immediate areas of needs and concerns related
to Firesetters. This collaboration has proved to be
instrumental and beneficial for the community.
The new "Daily Bread" Food Pantry was dedicat-
ed this year in November and is sponsored and
run by the Orthodox Congregational Church.
Working with the Social Service Department
referrals are made to our "Daily Bread" helping
families in need of food items. Food continues to
be a high priority for most families.
The Social Service Department continues to
expand to meet the needs of families through
empowerment and support. Continued collabora-
tion with community and support organizations
have helped to meet many of the goals of Social
Services this year.

The library expanded its hours to include Sundays
in 1997, the first in the ABLE library system to do
so. The library is now open 7 days per week total-
ing 56 hours. The extra hours were funded from
the library's state aid grant. A one -on -one volun-

Internet was initiated with great success. Patrons
are now able to check their own records from
home or in the library for fines, reserves, overdues
or titles checked out. Several new museum pass-
es were added— Garden in the Woods in
Framingham, the John F. Kennedy Library and
Museum and the Fuller Museum in Brockton.
The library produced a video on using the Internet
with Mansfield Cable Access. Over 201,000
items were circulated to borrowers this year.
The Youth department was very lively in 1997.
From storyhours to class visits to Summer
Reading Program, the children of Mansfield were
kept busy. The summer program included a dance
festival, programs on the rain forest and deafness
and lots of crafts, stories and music with 1,737
attendees. Library Trustee Chris Cormier Hayes
led a poetry slam in which young poets performed
their own work and that of other, more famous
poets. There was even a live parrot show! Two of
the programs were generously funded by grants
from the Arts Lottery Council. A series of pro-
grams on the American Girl books were well
attended. Children's Librarian Janet Campbell
was the guest speaker at the annual meeting of the
Mansfield, Foxboro and Norton Day Care
Providers in 1997.
The Library Trustees sponsored programs on Tai
Chi, gardening, wok cookery and therapeutic
massage and a visit from award - winning novelist
Elizabeth Berg. The Friends of the Library pur-
chased an enlarger for the visually impaired,
unabridged books on cassette, puppets, classical
compact discs, literacy materials and a projector
screen for the library. All these items have proved
very popular and useful. So many of our services
are directly due to this wonderful organization.
Many thanks go out to the many businesses, clubs
and individuals who support us all year.
We welcomed a new volunteer, Barbara Washer
from Conde Vista Company in Mansfield and new
staff members Joan Medeiros and M.C. Jones.
We also said goodbye to staff member Pat
Kenaley and Trustee Linda Lipson.
The staff and Trustees of the Mansfield Public
Library took forward to another year of serving
the needs of the citizens of Mansfield in 1998.

Airport Commission
Jeffrey Siena, Chairman; Robert Andrews,
Bradford Wills, Philip Finer, Howard Fiske,
Kenneth Torman*
The first powered, controlled and sustained flight
by an airplane was accomplished by Orville and
Wilbur Wright at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on
December 17, 1903. Aviation is still less than 100
years old, however, it affects almost everyone to
some degree. In the mid 1920s, the Mansfield
Airport was established by transforming an old
horse trotting track into a landing strip. Today, the
Mansfield Municipal Airport plays a vital role
with the national transportation system and the
Town of Mansfield and is "home" to approxi-
mately 100 single and twin engine aircraft.
The past several years have seen an emphasis on
improving the appearance of the airport. There are
new direction signs, a completed landscaping pro-
ject and expansion and repairing of the automo-
bile parking lot.
Planned Capital Improvements for the next three
years include taxiway lighting, reconstruction of
the main aircraft parking ramp and parking lot
improvements. The taxiway lighting and ramp
projects qualify for extensive Federal and State
grants and will be completed at a minimal cost to
the Town.
The Mansfield Municipal Airport continues to
provide a variety of aviation services including

recreational flying.
Numerous businesses and organizations opet
from the Mansfield Municipal Airport includin
full service aircraft maintenance facility, a rest
rant, several flying clubs, a chapter of
Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) and
Civil Air Patrol (CAP). The CAP performs sea
and rescue missions. The airport employs appr
imately twenty full and part time personnel.
Mansfield Municipal Airport remains one of
finest and safest general aviation airports in
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We invite
and your family to visit our airport.

care to eliminate incoming diseases and ensure
that only health animals are available for adop-

The volunteers continue to serve from their hearts
— in addition to their time, they sometimes spend
their own money to provide optional medical care
for the animals. The volunteers tend to shy away
from publicity except when they have seen an
opportunity to adopt out a cat or dog.
Today, the Mansfield Animal Shelter is a busy
place. More than 285 animals are 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
owners.
Of the numbers of cats and dogs received by the
shelter in 1997, for example, 38% were surren-
dered and 62% were found stray. Currently, more
cats are received at the shelter than dogs, and
more cats are adopted from the shelter than dogs
(790/0 of the total adoptions in 1997 were cats).
The shelter has an adoption/return rate of 94 %,
slightly higher s spec al note the factthat mostof
eupeople adopting animals from the shelter
(71 r) ate non - Mansfield residents.
The dog population in Mansfield is increasing at
about 3.6% every year, and the total of 102 dogs
handled at the shelter in 1997 is expected to grow
to about 135 dogs per year by the year 2000.

a decade -long effort on the part of the

onimation process included conducting a
townwide survey of historic resources, to
how the Fisher - Richardson House relates to

other historic sites in Mansfield. The town hired
a consultant in the mid 1980s to produce a large
batch of survey forms, but the process continues
as the Historical Commission gathers new infor-
mation to update existing forms and lay the
groundwork for future survey projects.
The Scholar -in- Residence Grant that the
Commission received from the Bay State
Historical League gave us crucial information to
add to the National Register nomination form.
More importantly, however, it yielded new infor-
mation to share with visitors to the Fisher -
Richardson House. Therefore, in 1997 the
Commission prepared a room -by -room guide to
the building based on this new research. Copies
were given to the Mansfield Historical Society,
which offers tours of the home to all Mansfield
third -grade teachers, the fifth grade local history
class, each school library, and the Mansfield
Public Library.
This year, the focus of the Commission's activi-
ties was on interpreting Mansfield's historic
resources for townspeople and visitors. The
Commission purchased bronze plaques which
were installed at the entrance to each publicly -
owned cemetery in town. Thanks are due to the
Parks and Recreation Department for coordinat-
ing this effort. The inscriptions describe each
cemetery and were researched and written by the
Historical Commission.
As 1997 drew to a close, the Historical
Commission returned its attention to the type of
"bricks and mortar" preservation activity it has
sponsored in the past. It has sought proposals
from architects with experience in timber -frame
construction, who can assist the town with stabi-
lizing the Fisher - Richardson House.

1997 has been a very active year for Mansfield
Cable Access. The 1997 Mansfield Cable Access
Corporation Board of Directors consists of
Jennifer Schmidt (President), Noreen Larsen
(Vice President), Bob Varley (Chairman), Mike
Healey (Treasurer), Lew Levine (Clerk), and
member, Lou Amoruso. The Board lost a long-
time member this year, Bruce Glazer, but he is
still very active as a volunteer to Cable Access.
The Board's ongoing charter is to provide com-
munity access and local programs of interest and
value to the community of Mansfield. Currently
Mansfield Cable Access maintains channels 5, 6,
7 and 8. Channel 5 is designated as the Safety
Channel and is used by the Fire and Police
Departments to deliver information to the com-
munity. Channel 6 is the Government Channel
that is mainly used for broadcasting Selectmens
and Town Meetings, and local town information.
Channel 7 is the Educational Channel, which is
used for broadcasting School Committee meet-
ings and relevant school information of interest to
the town. Channel 8 is the local community
access channel. Any community member has the
opportunity to have their video broadcast on this
channel. Town members may also fully utilize the
Cable Access production studio for use in pro-
ducing programs to be shown on Channel 8. The
bulk of the programming on Channel 8 consists of
Mansfield School sports, but also includes pro-
grams such as a cooking show, a live trivia call -in

LOCAL MEETINGS AND ALLOCATIONS
The first meeting of the 1996 -1997 funding cycle
was the Community in -put meeting which was
held on September 23, 1996. Each year the
Mansfield Cultural Council hosts an "Input"
meeting which is designed to encourage commu-
nication between the council and the community.
The council invites the public to attend to provide
information about the cultural desires and needs
of the community, to meet the members of the
council and to discuss projects, priorities and con -
cems relevant to the funding cycle. Potential
applicants are encouraged to attend as criteria
used in the grant selection process is reviewed.

entation meeting for new members.
The Mansfield Cultural Council's funding meet-
ing for fiscal year 1997 was held on October 28,
1996. The total allocation from the state was
$5,477. Grant requests totaled $20,361. Many
quality applications were considered.
Proposed Programs were divided into four cate-
gories. The first, "Independents" only included
proposals by independent performers (free - lance)
who were not contracted to work within a specif-
ic location or institution. The second category
was `Area Towns" which -was comprised of pro-
grams that do not originate in Mansfield but that
include Mansfield residents as participants. The
next category was "Mansfield" which consisted of
Mansfield -based projects except school programs,
and the final category was "Mansfield Public
Schools" which was open to school sponsored
programs at all levels.
The Mansfield Cultural Council recommended
state funding for the following projects, programs
and events: "Independents" - no recommenda-
tions, "Area Towns" - The Fuller Museum of Art
in Brockton ($350), SMARTS Wind Symphony
($150), SMARTS Touring Art Exhibit ($50), and

gram by Judith Black.
The Cultural Council met again on June 10, 1996
to review state guidelines, recommendations, and
acceptances and to discuss plans for a Cultural
Council Information booth at the Outdoors Arts
Festival to be held in September.
Current goals of the Mansfield Cultural Council
include increasing community awareness of the
availability of funds in order to encourage the
establishment and growth of local cultural pro-
grams and projects and to increase membership.

Towers" as follows:
"Section 3.6.7 Wireless Communication
Towers"
3.6.7.1 Purpose
The purpose of these regulations include: mini-
mizing adverse impacts of wireless communica-
tions towers, and antennas on adjacent properties
and residential neighborhoods; minimizing the
overall number and height of such facilities to
only what is essential, and promoting shared use
of existing facilities to reduce the need for new
facilities. This section does not apply to satellite
dishes and antennas for residential use.
3.6.7.2 General Requirements
3.6.7.2.1 No wireless communications fac
which shall include monopoles, or antenna,
be erected or installed except in compliance
the provisions of this Section. In all cas
Special Permit is required from the Plat
Board (the "Board "). Section 5.5 Special Pe
of these By -Laws shall apply to these api
tions. Any proposed extension in the h
addition of cells, antenna or panels, or con;
tion of a new or replacement of a facility sh
subject to a new application for a Special Pc
M,
3.6.7.2.2 Only free - standing monopoles, v
associated antenna and /or panels are allowec
specified in Section 3.6.7.4 below. Lattice s
towers and similar facilities requiring three
more legs and/or guy wires for support are
allowed.
3.6.7.2.3 Wireless communications facil
shall be located in the Industrial 1 zoning dis
and shall be suitably screened from abutters
residential neighborhoods.
3.6.7.2.4 Where approval involves a free -st,
ing monopole owned or controlled by the al
cant, approval of radiolink equipment shal
conditioned upon the agreement of the appli
to reasonably cooperate with other wireless c
munications services providers in permitting
location of antennas on such structure on i
mercially reasonable terms, unless: (a) then
structural or other limitations which mal
unfeasible to accommodate the proposed fac
or (b) the proposed facility would interfere
the wireless communications of one or i
existing occupants at the site, including the a
cant.
3.6.7.2.5 Structures shall be removed within
(1) year of cessation of use. Annual certifica
demonstrating continuing compliance with
standards of the Federal Communicat
Commission, Federal Aviation Administrz
and the American National Standards Inst
and required maintenance shall be filed wid
Inspector of Buildings by the Special Permit l
er.
Application Process
7.3.1 All applications for wireless communi-
ons facilities, antenna or satellite dishes shall

Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
3.6.7.3.6 The applicable review and advertising
fees as may be amended.
3.6.7.4 Design Guidelines
3.6.7.4.1 The following guidelines shall be used
when preparing plans for the siting and construc-
tion of all wireless communications towers.
3.6.7.4.2 All monopoles shall be designed to be
constructed at the minimum height necessary to
accommodate the anticipated and future use. The
setback of a monopole from the property line of
the lot on which it is located shall be at least equal
to the height of the monopole.
3.6.7.4.3 No monopole, or attached accessory
antenna on a monopole, shall exceed ninety (90)
feet in height as measured from ground level at
the base of the pole. No monopole shall be con-
structed which requires guy wires. Monopoles
shall not be located on buildings.
3.6.7.4.4 Antenna or dishes located on non -resi-
dential buildings shall not exceed twenty(20) feet
in height above the roof -line of the structure.
3.6.7.4.5 All wireless communications facilities
shall be sited in such a manner that the view of the
facility from adjacent abutters, residential neigh-
bors and other areas of Town shall be as limited as
possible. All monopoles shall be painted or oth-
erwise colored so they will blend in with the land-
scape or the structure on which they are located.
A different coloring scheme shall be used to blend
the structure with the landscape below and above
the tree or building line.
3.6.7.4.6 Antenna shall be situated on or attached
to a structure in such a manner that they are
screened, preferably not being visible from abut-
ting streets. Antenna shall be located on the land-
scape in such a manner so as to minimize visibil-
ity from abutting streets and residences and to
limit the need to remove existing vegetation. All
equipment shall be colored, molded and /or
installed to blend into the structure and /or the
landscape.
Landscaping shall be required to screen as much
of the antenna support structure as possible, the
fence surrounding the antenna support structure,
and any other ground level features (such as a
building). Existing on -site vegetation shall be pre-
served to the maximum extent practicable. A
combination of existing /native vegetation, natural
topography, manmade features such as berms,
walls, decorative fences and any other features
can be used instead of landscaping if those fea-
tures achieve the same degree of screening as the
required landscaping.
3.6.7.4.7 Wireless communications towers shall
be designed to accommodate the maximum num-
ber of users technologically practical. The intent
of this requirement is to reduce the number of
facilities which will be required to be located
within the community.
The shared use of existing antenna support struc-
tures and approved antenna support structure sites
shall be preferred to the construction of such new
facilities. New antenna support structures must be
constructed to support a minimum of two (2)
antenna arrays from two (2) antenna system
providers or users. The Planning Department shall
maintain an inventory of its existing towers,
including specific information about the location,
height, and design of each tower. The Town may
share such information with other persons, orga-
nizations or governmental authorities seeking to
locate antennas within the Town.
An applicant for a new monopole structure shall
submit a report inventorying existing nearby
antenna support structures and antenna sites doc-
umenting why the existing structures cannot
accommodate the applicants antenna require-
ments. In the case of collocation associated with
previous approvals under this bylaw, the pro -rata
reimbursement to the initial applicant from the
future provider shall not exceed fifty -five percent
(55 %) of the original cost for construction of the
antenna support structure.
No new tower shall be permitted unless the appli-
cant demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of
the Planning Board that no existing tower or
structure can accommodate the applicant's pro-
posed antenna. Evidence submitted to demon-
strate that no existing tower or structure can
60
accommodate the applicant's proposed
may consist of any of the following:
a) No existing towers or structures
located within the geographic
required to meet applicant's engir
ing requirements.
b) Existing towers or structures are
sufficient height to meet app]
engineering requirements.
c) Existing towers or structures do
have sufficient structural strength
support applicant's proposed antes
and related equipment and cannot
reinforced to provide sufficient sty
tural strength.
d) The applicant's proposed a
would cause electromagnetic it
ence with the antenna on the e
towers or structures, or the ante
the existing towers or structures
cause interference with the app
proposed antenna.
e) the fees or costs required to shar
existing tower or structure or to a
an existing tower or structure for
ing are unreasonable. Costs below
tower development are presumed
sonable.
f) property owners or owners of exists
towers or structures are unwilling;
accommodate the applicant's needs.
g) the applicant demonstrates that
are other limiting factors that ;,
existing towers and structures 1
able.
3.6.7.4.8 An applicant proposing a wireless 4
munications tower shall prove to the satisfa
of the Board that the visual, economic and
thetic impacts of the facility on residential
ters will be minimal. Further, the monopole
be located a minimum of 500 feet from the
est residential structure.
3.6.7.4.9 Fencing shall be provided to co
access to wireless communications facilities
11 be compatible with the scenic character of
Town and shall not be of razor wire.
7.4.10 There shall be no signs, except for
ouncement signs, no trespassing signs and a
aired sign giving the phone number where the
ier can be reached on a twenty -four (24) hour
is. All signs shall conform with the Sign By-
v (Section 4.7 of the Mansfield Zoning By-
7.4.11 Night lighting of towers shall be pro -
ted unless required by the Federal Aviation
ninistration. Lighting shall be limited to that
ded for emergencies and/or as required by the
7.4.12 There shall be a minimum of one (1)
king space for each facility, to be used in con -
tion with the maintenance of the site, and not
le used for the permanent storage of vehicles or

7.5 Special Permit Review
.7.5.1 Applications for Special Permits shall
approved or approved with conditions If the
itioner can fulfill the requirements of this see-
r and Section 5.5 to the satisfaction of the
7.5.2 Applications for Special Permits may
lenied if the petitioner cannot fulfill or address
requirements of these regulations to the satis-
:ion of the Board.
.7.5.3 When considering an application for a
•eless communication tower, the Board shall
ce great emphasis on the proximity of the facil-
to residential dwellings and its impact on these
idences. New facilities shall only be consid-
d after a finding that existing (or previously
moved) facilities cannot accommodate the pro -
;ed use(s).
7.5.4 When considering an application for an
-nna or dish proposed to be placed on an exist -
structure, the Board shall place great empha-
on the visual impact of the unit from the abut-
; neighborhoods and street(s).

opment that promote the health, safety, and gener-
al welfare of the community by ensuring develop-
ment consistent with the town's Master Plan and

financial management and responsible capital
planning and in keeping with the provision of
Proposition 2 1/2.
4.2.3.2 Applicability
This by -law shall apply to all building permits for
new single, two, or multi - family residential con-
struction. Specifically excluded from this by -law
are building permits for demolition, repair, reno-
vation, or expansion of existing residential units
and dwelling units proposed under the provisions
of M.G.L. Chapter 40B, or by public or non -prof-
it agencies. For the purposes of this by -law, each
dwelling unit shall be considered to be one build-
ing permit.
4.2.3.3 Building Permit Limitations
Effective upon adoption of this by -law, the total
number of building permits issued for new resi-
dential dwelling units issued within any calendar
year shall not exceed 115 permits, of which 15
shall be reserved for owners of single lots not
shown on an approved definitive subdivision
plan.
4.2.3.4 Building Permit Standards
In all cases an applicant for building permits shall
be limited to no more than twelve (12) building
permits or building permit applications in any cal-
endar year. For the purposes of this by -law an
applicant shall be defined as individuals, partner-
ships, trusts, corporations and other legal entities
in which the applicant holds a legal or beneficial
ownership of greater than one percent (1 %), or is
an employee of said partnership, trust, corpora-
tion or other legal entity.

ed within the calendar year. In no case shall relief
be granted within the first six months of the cal-
endar year.
