Included in this appropriation were funds for the development of two wells and the installation of replacement water mains over several miles of the Town street system. The Town was faced with a severe water shortage in the summer and was able to begin implementation of this project with the construction of a new well which was brought on a temporary basis at the end of December. The second well will be completed in 1981 along with the related Piping. The 1980 Annual Town Meeting authorized the borrowing of the $30 million for the construction, of the Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant in the Town of Norton. It is anticipated that the project will be ready for bid in the spring of 1981 with completion of the. project in 1984. This project represents more than ten years of effort on behalf of many town officials and once completed will solve a long-standing pollution problem in the Norton Reservoir as well as provide the Town with the capability of providing sewerage treatment facilities for expanded industrial growth. The Town conducted tests for a new water supply in West Mansfield and in the fall the State approved the test results for a new well located off Elm Street. This facility will yield 400,000 gallons per day. An article has been included in the Annual Town M9eting for 1981 for the acquisition of this site. The Board of Selectmen revised the water rates to reflect the actual cost of producing and supplying the Town with water. This was done in accordance with the vote at 1979 Annual Town Meeting. In fiscal year 1982 the Water Division will be operated on a self-sustaining basis. The Board of Selectmen reached agreement with the Mansfield Police Association and signed a contract which institutes a revised work week schedule known as the 4 & 2.

May, clerk. contract, Town Meeting authorized the increase in personnel within the. department from 18 to 20. In November N. Lawrence D'Afile retired from the Mansfield Police Department after serving the Town for 31 years, 24 as Chief. The Board of Selectmen appreciates the efforts made by Chief D'Afile on behalf of public safety during his tenure in office. The Board of Selectmen have signed several contracts for better purchasing opportunities of electric power. These new power purchases will enable the Town to continue to offer one of the lowest ratesof municipal power in the State. While the cost of power is rising, the Town has been able to maintain its base power rates at the same level as 1975. The Board of Selectmen supported joining the 128 West Resource Recovery Council, a consortium of 41 cities and towns in Eastern Massachusetts that have joined together to address the problem of solid waste. The Council is presently investigating the development of a regeneration plant that would dispose of the waste and sell off the heat for electrical generation. The Board of Selectmen approved a Commercial Area Revitalization Plan for downtown Mansfield. This: project will enable low interest financing for Commercial enterprise within the downtown area. The fall election brought to the Town a new law referred to as Proposition 2'/2. This new law limitsthe amount of money municipalities may raise by taxation:. At this time it is projected that the Town will be able to raise approximately $6.5 million by taxation in the next fiscal year. This is a reduction of approximately I $400,000 from the 1980 appropriation. In addition, thee. facility, and Texas Instruments warehouse.

TOWN MANAGER The 'Annual Report presents to the citizens of Mansfield summary, of the activities and accomplishments of the Town during 1980. The report also summarizes the financial condition of the Town for the preceding fiscal year. In 1980 the Town imposed a water ban in the spring. This was only the second time in the past decade that a water ban had been established. The 1980 water ban was put into effect in the late spring and remained in effect through the end of the year. The initial water ban was due to the condition of the wells in that they were not able to take sufficient water from the ground and deliver it to the users. In the early fall three wells were cleaned, but the water level had dropped substantially in the ground and the water ban continued due to a lack of water. A new well was constructed in Maple Park and a second well will be constructed in Maple Park in 1981. Under normal circumstances these two wells would put the Town in good shape for future water supply. However, it is anticipated that in 1981 water levels will be low and that a water ban could be put in effect in the early spring. Since the Town of Mansfield is responsible for supplying water to its citizens, it is important that the Town locate all of the future sources of water and develop a program for acquisition of these sources and for the long range protection of the water recharge' areas. In. September the Town approved the contract with the Mansfield Police Association which' included a' change; in the work- schedule. A September Town' Meeting authorized the increase in personnel in the Police Department to 20. In November, Sgt. Jesse Earls wasprovisionally appointed Chief of the Town replacing N. Lawrence D'Afile who had served as Chief for 24 years. While reviewing this report, each citizen should 8 question what is the function of municipal gove and what services should government be provi its citizens. In 1980 the voters of Massachusetts ed into law Chapter 580 which has for the first the history of the Commonwealth limited the am money that may be raised by local taxation. Wi law the Town now has the opportunity to corn Maple Park well under construction the function of municipal government and to ne what services it should be providing for its. ksic services of public : safety, public health, reets, and public utilities are ones which a ental entity has a fundamental responsibility e. The remaining services are ones which do to be provided by government as they can be ;d non-essential to the health and welfare of the community. Each citizenof the community- may have his own priorities for what the local government should be providing. The town meeting endorses these priorities through the appropriation of funds to keep these services going. Once these priorities are established, it is the Town Managers::responsibility to ensure that these services are delivered to the citizens in the most - efficient and effective manner. ARTS COUNCIL Arts Lottery is an exciting new concept in this field of visual and performing arts. 1. Funds derived from the sale of Arts Lottery are returned to the communities for distribution We are presently interviewing candidates and look individuals or groups to promote projects in the forward to a very productive season.

Consumption for 1980 was approximately 143,768,931 KWH, a 4.9% increase over 1979. The department's work associated with the I.495 project is 100% completed. Reimbursement by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has been expedited to oursatisfaction, defraying some of the costs of operations and maintenance which would normally be borne by the ratepayers. The 13.8 KV feeder from the Gilbert Street Substation to the Cabot, Cabot and Forbes Industrial Park is 100% completed, and will be energized and in service January 1981. Capital improvements for 1981 consist of approximately 3 miles of feeder cable emanating .from the Gilbert Street Substation to the industrial park, replacing the open -wire type construction with a more reliable spacer -cable type construction. This department's billings to consumers reached approximately $8,098,724 or $.0563 per KWH in 1980, compared to an average of $.0412 per KWH in 1979. The increase was primarily. due toescalating fuel -energy costs throughout this year. In September, 200 consumers petitioned the Board of Light Commissioners for a hearing to discuss bill fuel adjustment charges. Although no alleviation to energy costs could be foreseen, it was noted that electric bills to Mansfield residents were significantly lower than comparable bills to customers of Mass. Electric, Taunton Municipal Electric Department and Boston Edison. Comparable cost per KWH sold to residential electric heat consumers in 1980 was: Mansfield 5.08 cents per kwh Mass. Elec. 5.79 cents per kwh Taunton Mon. Elec. 5.72 cents per kwh Boston Edison 6.47 cents per kwh In August, after extended litigation, Mansfield, along with 12 Mass. Municipal Electric Assoc. members, settled three rate cases with New England 22 Power Company. The Town of Mansfield realized. refund of $411,000. The Board of Light Commissioner, at its November meeting, approved recommendation by the Director to use the funds for planned servi4 improvements, offset power cost increases for 1981 an cover anticipated expenses for the new RCS program The Commonwealth in 1980 mandated th Residential. Conservation (RCS) Program for a! utilities. This department expects to offer lowcost homy energy audits in early 1981.

The Mansfield Disaster Plan was also tested during a series of state sponsored seminars which 12 people attended. We also participated in the monthly tests of the communications and national warning system. One man was certified as a Radiological Defense Officer in a 40 hour course sponsored by the State. As the town's population increases, dog problems also rise. Many residents are unaware that Mansfield has a leash law, and many also choose to ignore it, All dogs in Mansfield should be kept leashed, confined or under the control of the owner. State law requires that all dogs be licensed yearly. Licenses are available at the Town Clerk's office. In 1980, 77 dogs that were picked up by the dog officer had to be destroyed, Seventy-eight dogs that were picked up were returned to their owners. In addition, the dog officer was able to sell 53 dogs. Total violations of the leash law recorded in 1980 were 213. Ki BOARD OF HEALTH The Board, in conjunction with the town, during 1980 had the services of a full time Town Engineer to review all plans, perform soil tests and to make inspection. The Board, at the present time, is without the services of an engineer. The Board reviewed soil examinations for fifty-one (51) lots. A Chokesaver Course was held in April for all Food Service Establishments. Fifty-one persons attended and were certified. Numerous health complaints have been received by the board. Fees for Pere tests have been increased as of January 1, 1981 to $100. Fees for Food Service Establishments have been increased as of May 1, 1981 to 675,00. Pere season is open from December 1 to April 30. COMMUNITY HEALTH AGENCY As agents of the Board of Health in Mansfield, CHA schedules clinics in the town. At these clinics, immunization against diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, measles, mumps, rubella and polio are offered without charge.

MUNICIPAL BUILbING COMMITTEE The year 1980 was one of hard work that showed little ;sults for the Municipal Building Committee. The VETERANS' SERVICES Veterans' Services is a One -Stop center for veterans. At least 80% of our residents have actual or potential veteran entitlement. We assist the veteran and his dependents in time of distress and hardship. We aid, assist, advise and explore every avenue of resource and revenue available. The Veterans Administration has been in existence since 1930. There are at present 30,070,000 war veterans. The largest group are those from WWII, and they will be approaching retirement age. The VA provides five times as much health care for these veterans as it does for those under 65 years of age. Millions of veterans will be joining the ranks of the over -65 group every five years, necessitating a rapid increase in VA payments and services. New geriatric centers and domiciliary quarters are planned, as well as replacement hospitals and hospices for aged veterans. MBC and the Library Trustees presented a plan at the spring town .meeting to acquire land for a Library addition. This motion was defeated, The. committees returned to a fall special town meeting with a revised plan drawn up by architect Dix Shevalier to restore the present building and build the addition using land now town owned. This project received a majority vote but failed to getthetwo-thirds vote heeded for the bond issue. The Library Trustees have expressed a desire to continue to develop the plan for a future town meeting. The HighSchoolroof which was rebuilt several years ago is showing some signs of blistering. Although there are no leaks, the School Committee has asked the MBC to start an independent engineering study to determine the cause and cure. An article will be entered into the spring town meeting to cover this project. The one bright spot of the year was the completion of the restoration of the auditorium at the Qualters Middle School. The water -damaged ceiling has been replastered and painted, and the auditorium seats have been rebuilt. It is now in daily use. Recently voted Proposition 2'/2 could bring all future construction to a standstill. However, the legislature is considering an amendment that will allow bonded capitol improvements to be excluded from the 21/2 tax cap. 33 A Housing Benefit Law was passed October 1, 1980. This law provides for a guaranty not to exceed 60% of the amount of a home loan or 617,500, whichever is less. For mobile home purposes the maximum guaranty is now 50% of the amount of the loan, or 610,000 whichever is less. The disabled veteran with service -connected compensation was given a 14.3% increase effective October 1980. The veteran with 10% disability went from $48 to $54 per month. There will be an increase in GI Education benefits in January 1981. A single veteran will receive $342 per month. The law permits a veteran to use his education entitlement any time during a 10 year period following his discharge, until the cut-off date of December 31, 1989. Legislation is being considered to extend this deadline. There are 650,000 veterans receiving educational benefits each month. GI Educational benefitsare not available to veterans who entered service since December 31, 1976 . They are covered by a new program of voluntary contributary matching funds. The government will pay $2 for every $1 paid into the program by the veteran up to a maximum of 55400. The VA Readjustment. Counseling program for Vietnam veterans will be in effect until October 1, 1981. Applications for counseling under this program must be made before that date, or within 2 years from .discharge. There are 86 veteran centers in key locations and have the capability of providing support to the program and outreach units. This counseling is to assist Vietnam veterans through a general mental and Psychological assessment and to provide such mental health services necessary to facilitate the successful readjustment of the veteran to civilian life.

Markt writing, the School Department has not negotiated a new Stephen H. Quinn teacher's contract for fiscal 1981. Since School Department John O. White salaries and wages represent approximately half of the total operating budget, the outcome of these negotiations will have a significant impact on the fiscal 1981 tax rate. The impact of inflation can best be seen in the dramatic in- TOWN MANAGER'S BUDGET MESSAGE crease in the estimated construction cost of the proposed wastewater treatment plant. Three years ago the plant 19 finds sf the beginning ofnsfield new decadeveral could have been built for $16 million. Currently the cost for of Ma a faced with several major dee , non cisions, non the same plant is estimate to be $30 million! which are easily ignored, but several which are so This year the Town received an increase in State aid through the "Cherry Sheet" distributions thereby enabling a reduction in the tax rate. However, Governor King's cam- paign promise of increased State aid was only partially real- ized and the prospects for 1981 are bleak. State spending is exceeding budget estimates and revenues are less than planned by about 5%. There is little likelihood for increases in state aid to offset the Town's increased operating costs. The major factor contributing to the decrease in the cur- rent tax rate was the use of $880,000 of available "free cash." This was a "one shot" proposal and such a windfall is no longer available. Accordingly, the fiscal 1981 tax rate will increase by approximately $11 even if the budget were to re- main at the 1980 expenditure level. Fiscal 1981 is the second year of the 4% spending "cap" legislation and the Town is again faced with the prospect of a budget which exceeds the "cap." A bill which would ex- empt energy related expenditures from the spending cap has been introduced in the legislature- However, if it were passed, the budget would still be in excess of the 4% in- crease and would require the Town meeting to vote to over- ride. the spending limitation by a two-thirds majority. The Finance Committee, in preparing budget recom- mendations for your consideration at Twon Meeting, has as- sumed that the vote to override will again be obtained. Therefore, our recommendations do not fall within the 4% "cap." We believe that the "cap" legislation does not differ- entiate between the needs of a.growing community such as Mansfield and those of a community whose growth has stabilized. To remain within the "cap" would, in effect, penalize Mansfield for exercising fiscal restraint in pre- vious years because growth would be limited to 104% of prior years budgets. Voter turnout at recent annual Town Meetings has been somewhat disappointing. Difficult decisions will have to be made this year which will affect the Town for many years to come. A small minority of taxpayers or a "single interest C$y tremely important to the Town that they cannotrUt nored, postponed nor otherwise delayed. The first, of coli is the Wastewater Treatment Plant that has been beforE Town since 1970 and is currently in Phase D, the de stage. The latest cost is $30 million and is due mostly t( flation, E.P.A. changes and delays from other communi that feel adversely affected. The Town of Masnfield hai reayd invested more than amillion: dollars, as previo, authorized, in the project and we must proceed to pro, watewater treatment of our residents and industrial': c� plexes. The second most important program ahead of u the supply of potable water for the general public and w needs of firefighting and industrial 'and residential':: mands. We must proceed with these two very necessary',i important projects if we are to effectively and efificiei service the tax paying public of our community. Additionally, there are several. other requests as dean necessary by the various committees. These are: ADHOC Committee's proposal for development of rec tional lands; School Committe's requests for auditori- improvements and playing fields; the Library Committ< proposal for renovation and expansion of the present; l rary facility and the administration's request for a cc bined school/town maintenance building.. As you can see after reviewing the Warrant, the dece facing us presents many: important,.large, costly proje and programs that we must consider. At least - two, 1 Wastewater Treatment Plant and Water Improvemen must not and cannot be further delayed. These can have adverse or positive effect upon the Town and depend up the voting citizenry to consider all the factors and vote the best interest of the Town as a whole. The Operations and Maintenance budget of the Town h been held to what we consider to be a reasonable increase most areas. In other areas the budget items have been he to those of last year. The greatest impact to this budget h been the inflation rate affecting each department. As will noted throughout the budget, the most damaging factor h been the rising cost of energy which affects fuel use in her ing, lighting, gas and oil accounts. reflects the request for dispatchers in the Po- int and Fire Department and again the nitarian within the Health Department. Also ,rtance is the sanitary landfill and the quest of idand cover material• ,ve; as in previous years, is to provide and maintain a level of service that is realistic and meets the needsofthe general public.. The Administration, Board of Selectmen and the Finance Committee have had the above in mind for FY81 in preparing a budget to meet the desires of the community; with your cooperation and budget input we should fulfill your expectations. a , a mue or Excess and Deficiency (E & D) •esents the amount by which the cash, ac - )Is and other assets exceed the liabilities and 'ands (often referred to as "Free Cash"): fied annually by the State Bureau of Accounts g from Surplus Revenue all uncollected taxes for This fund may be used by a vote of the Town flay is the amount up to 5% 9f the tax levy raised ssessors in excess of appropriations and other )r the purpose fo creating a fund to cover abate- mted and to avoid fractions. y Reserve: the accumulated amount of the Overlay for various of used or required to be held in the specific Overlay .t for a given year and may be used by the town for dinary or unforeseen purposes or voted into the Re - Reserve Fund: This fund is voted at an annual town meeting only.
