A voter, moving from one precinct to another within the town, should immediately notify the Registrars of the changes to assure being able to vote in the new precinct, otherwise he must vote in his former address.

Registrations are administered by the Board of Registrars. The Board is composed of three citizens, appointed for three year terms by the Board of Selectmen, and the Town Clerk, who by virtue of her office, serves as clerk of the board. POLLING PLACES 1. Precinct 1 — Masonic Lodge 2. Precinct 2 — Crystal Community Club 3. Precinct 3 — Franklin School 4. Precinct 4 — Greenwood Fire Station 5. Precinct 5 — West Side Social Club 6. Precinct 6 — West Side Social Club 7. Precinct 7 — Dolbeare School 183rd ANNUAL REPORT

LOCAL ELECTIONS Local elections are held annually on the last Tuesday in April and are non- partisan. Write-ins are permitted, and absentee voting is allowed.

TO BECOME A CANDIDATE FOR LOCAL OFFICE, A CITIZEN MUST: • be a registered voter in Wakefield, Massachusetts. • obtain nomination papers from the Town Clerk (one set of papers for each office sought in the election). • obtain the signatures of 50 citizens who are registered to vote in Wake- • field.

submit nomination papers to the Board of Registrars 49 days prior to the town election for certification of the signatures. • file nomination papers with the Town Clerk by 5 pm on the 35th day before the town election. This places the candidate's name officially on the ballot.

TO JOIN A POLITICAL PARTY A citizen may choose to declare his/her choice of political affiliation when he/she registers to vote, or may declare his/her party choice when voting in primary elections. If a voter chooses not to declare his/her party, he/she will be listed as an "unenrolled voter" on voting lists.

TO CHANGE OR CANCEL PARTY ENROLLMENT/SERVE AS A DELEGATE A voter may appear in person at the Town Clerk's office or use the postal system to change his/her party designation. This may be done at any time.

A party member is eligible to be a delegate to his/her party conventions; delegates are chosen every four years on the presidential primary ballot.

PROCEDURE AT TOWN MEETING The Moderator, an elected town official, presides at Town Meetings. He/she begins by reading the call for the meeting. Usually a motion is made to waive further reading of the warrant, with the exception of the constable's return (which the law demands be read), and the motion is carried. Articles in the warrant are taken up in the order as they are printed in the warrant unless otherwise decided by a two-thirds vote.

The recommendation of the Finance Committee are given before voters discuss or act upon an article. For the annual town meeting, these recommendations are available a week to ten days before the meeting in booklet form, called "Annual Appropriations," and may be obtained at the Selectmen's Room at Town Hall.

Following the Finance Committee's recommendations or the recommendations of such department as may be permitted to make recommendations, the sponsor of the article is usually allowed to present his/her case. The voters may then debate the question according to rules of parliamentary procedure prescribed by the town's by-laws, such as:

clearly, confine • Stand, address the moderator, give name and address remarks to the question under debate and avoid personalities. 10 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD

• Speak for not more than 10 minutes at any one time, unless granted permission by the meeting. No voter may speak more than once on any question if other voters desire to be heard, and no voter may speak more than twice on the same question without permission of the meeting. • Speak not more than two minutes on any one of the following motions: Motion to adjourn Motion to lay on the table Motion to take from the table Motion to put the previous question (These motions only are in order when a question is under debate. Total time allowed for debate on each motion is six minutes.)

A two-thirds vote of the assembly is necessary on a motion which requires a bond issue. A vote may be reconsidered at the same session or at adjourned session upon two-thirds vote of the assembly. The Moderator may request a voter to put his/her motion in writing. Should seven voters doubt the accu- racy of the Moderator's count of hands on a motion, tellers are appointed to make the count. The Moderator clarifies motions when they are especially complex.

Conduct at the town meeting is further governed by the rules of practice, pertinent to town meetings in Cushings' Manual of Parliamentary Proce- dure.

THE TOWN MEETING WARRANT The Town Meeting Warrant is a collection of articles presented by departments, committees and voters for consideration at an Annual or Special Town Meeting. The warrant is composed by the Selectmen, with articles being entered by request or petition. Individual voters may have an article inserted by petition. The selectmen receive all petitions for the warrant, except those having to do with sidewalks, drainage, sewers and streets which must be submitted to the Board of Public Works. Signatures of ten or more registered voters are required on articles for annual town meetings; 100 signatures are required for articles filed by citizens in warrants for special town meetings. Signatures on petitions must be substantially as the voters' names appear on the voting list. Voters may request the advise of the Town Counsel in drawing up an article. Customarily, public announce- ment is made of the opening and the closing dates of the warrant. Citizens, however, may take their petitions to the Selectmen at any Board meeting during the year and the Selectmen will hold such articles for insertion in the warrant for the next town meeting. Department heads enter their articles by the process of request. THE ANNUAL REPORT The Annual Report is comprised of reports from all Town departments, including operating expenses and statistical information. The Annual Report is compiled by the Selectmen's office, and copies are available free prior to the Annual Town Meeting. ul

Report of the Board of Selectmen

At the Board's organizational meeting, following the Town Election in April, Peter G. Melanson was elected Chairman and J. Edward Surette, III was elected Secretary. The other members of the Board are newly elected Selectman Kevin T. Haggerty, Sel. Douglas G. Thayer and Sel. Wayne M. Tarr. The powers, duties, and responsibilities of the Board of Selectmen are broadly diversified in hundreds of sections of law applying directly to Selectmen. The Town of Wakefield operates under the Board of Selectmen-Executive Sec- retary plan of municipal administration; which plan maintains the Selectmen in their traditional role as the elected directors of the municipality, and provides for an administrator to carry out administrative assignments within a policy framework established by the Board of Selectmen. The broadly diversified powers, duties and responsibilities of the Board of Selectmen affect the functioning of all Town departments, and central coordina- tion is essential to an effective and efficient municipal administration.

The necessity for effective liaison and representation between the Town, the Federal Government, the State Government, and metropolitan agencies continues to be increasingly complex and demanding. The Town's active participation is necessary to the Town's responsible representation in an area of significant socioeconomic impact.

Chapter 763 of the Acts of the year 1965, became effective on February 16, 1966, which constituted enactment of collective bargaining for municipalities. Municipal employers are prevented from (a) interfering with the right of employees to organize for the purpose of collective bargaining, and (b) dominat- ing or interfering with any employee organization, (c) discharging or discrimi- nating against any employee who testified before the State Labor Relations Commission on a specific proceeding, (d) refusing to bargain collectively in good faith with a designated exclusive bargaining agent, and (e) refusing to discuss grievances with the bargaining agent. The statute states "the municipal employ- er shall be represented by the Chief Executive Officer, whether elected or appointed, or his representative or representatives". It has been determined that the Board of Selectmen is the Chief Executive Board in towns for the purpose of this statute, except as to School Department personnel. This legislation continues a costly and complex impact on municipal administration in Massa- chusetts.

Chapter 1078 of the Acts of the year 1973 has identified municipal labor contract negotiations as a matter of serious fiscal consequences. The Board of Selectmen has long recognized the necessity for professional representation at the bargaining table, and has continued to engage specialized legal services in this important relationship. The Board observed with regret the deaths of the following active and retired employees:

Priscilla Dunn — Surviving spouse of Charles — School Dept. Nora Costello — Library Department Lora Harris — School Department 183rd ANNUAL REPORT 13

Report of the Planning Board

The Planning Board is an elected five member Board. It has jurisdiction over the subdivision of land and the regulation of land use.

The Board approved 3 definitive subdivisions plans, one recission of a definitive subdivision plan and two preliminary plans. The Board, acting as the Board of Survey, approved three Boards of Survey.

The Planning Board held the required public hearings for the eleven Annu- al Town Meeting 1994 Warrant Articles. The Planning Board sponsored six of the eleven articles. The Board reported on each article at Town Meeting. Details of each article can be found in the Town Clerk's report. Town Meeting voters passed seven articles (36, 37, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43), all pertaining to changes in the zoning bylaw. The Board also held a public hearing for an article for the Special Town Meeting held in June.

Report of the Conservation Commission

In 1994, the Wakefield Conservation Commission met in 25 formal sessions and conducted numerous public hearings and site visits to investigate new wetlands filings, to review ongoing and completed projects and to conduct other business as necessary to carry out our mandates under the Conservation Com- mission Act and the Wetlands Protection Act. The Commission in conjunction with the Friends of Lake Quannapowitt was the recipient of a grant to fund a watershed awareness program in the Atwell School. The Town Meeting voted to dedicate land in the Montrose Section of the town to the Commission for conservation purposes. The Commission voted to donate a portion of the Conservation Fund established at town meeting for the creation of a park at Lake Quan- napowitt at Spaulding Street. The Commission also prepared and applied for a grant for the creation of a park at the end of Spaulding Street and will continue to pursue the development of a park at this site in the future.

The Commission reviewed numerous wetlands filings and other matters requiring investigation, enforcement or approval. Filing fees in excess of $2,600.00 were collected in fiscal year 1994, all of which went to offset the Com- mission's operating budget. The Commission has been a party to three adjudica- tory matters before the Department of Environmental Protection and has been a participant in many town and state committees. The Commission wishes to acknowledge with gratitude the assistance of our Consultant, Elaine Vreeland, Esquire as well as the dedication of the many citizens who have participated in the hearings. We look forward to fulfilling the Commission's mandate to enforce the Wetlands Protection Act and to protect the watershed resources of the Town of Wakefield. Respectfully submitted, PHILIP B.

Report of Wakefield Historical Commission

During 1994, the Town of Wakefield celebrated its 350th anniversary in commemorations coordinated by Wakefield 350, the nonprofit organization, and the town's Wakefield 350 Executive Committee. A hardbound history of the town, Wakefield: 350 Years bv the Lakp. was published in March. The Wake- field Historical Commission supported the work of Wakefield 350, both in the researching and publishing of the book and in the anniversary celebrations.

In February of 1994, the Commission inventoried and cleaned historic paintings and portraits which were stored in the Town Hall attic. These paintings were exhibited both at the premiere of the Anniversary History book and on June 25 as part of the Heritage Weekend Celebration. During the same weekend, the Commission sponsored a historical Scavenger Hunt. In conjunction with the First Parish Congregational Church, the Wakefield Historical Commission sponsored a "Heritage Day at the Old Burying Ground" on October 1, during Wakefield 350's Homecoming Celebration.

During 1994, the Wakefield Historical Commission continued its work of preserving and protecting the gravestones in the Old Burying Ground. The Burying Ground, established in 1689, contains some of the oldest and best examples of Puritan gravestone art in the nation. During its "Old Burying Ground Preservation Day," the Commission, along with volunteers from the community, were successful in resetting many slate stones. The Commission has established a special fund and accepts donations to assist in the expert repair of some of the more damaged stones. In 1994, this fund received a significant donation from Brendan Mason, an Eagle Scout candidate. The Commission is also acting to erect a series of interpretive markers in the Burying Ground, in order to assist the visitor in appreciating the historic nature of the old slate gravestones.

In attempting to stimulate an appreciation of the town's history in Wake- field's children and to encourage them to see a need for the preservation of its historic buildings and sites, the Commission sponsored a Preservation Month Essay Contest with the assistance of the Wakefield Public School Department. Children from Wakefield's second grade and fifth grade classes celebrated the town's historical heritage by describing their favorite old place in town, in drawings and essays. The Historical Commission continues to be watchful for potentially destruc- tive changes in historic buildings, and maintains a "Demolition Delay Bylaw" in the event of a threat to one of the Town's historic structures. The Commission continues to respond to inquiries about the town's history and its historic buildings.

The Americal Civic Center Association, Inc. (ACC), under the direction of its volunteer Board of Directors, continues to successfully fulfill its mission of service to the community. Many hundreds of meetings were held at the ACC this past year by local non-profit organizations. Indeed, demand for meeting space has been so great that another conference room is now being constructed on the lower level of the facility.

The use of the center by local non-profit groups, at minimal cost, is effectively underwritten through the rental of office space, the exhibition hall and conference rooms to other than local non-profit groups. In addition to building a new conference room, a window replacement program was started this year. Half of the windows in the exhibition hall were completely replaced with historically correct, energy efficient units. While maintaining the property in excellent condition through the "yeoman" efforts of our building manager and his staff of two (all are part-time employees) the Board of Directors takes a conservative approach to management and con- stantly monitors income and expenses. This past fiscal year saw an increase in gross income of 11% while expenditures were slightly reduced by 1.3% from the previous year. The ACC remains fiscally independent and the property is maintained and improved, for the benefit of the town, without cost to the taxpayer.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1994

The Wakefield Police Department in 1994 experienced its busiest year on record in both requests for police service and severity of incidents and investigations. Citizen calls for police intervention over a twenty four hour period indicat- ed demand as outlined below: REQUESTS FOR SERVICE 11:30 PM. to 7:30 A.M. shift 2,716 calls 7:30 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. shift 4,721 calls 3:30 PM. to 11:30 P.M. shift 5,164 calls TOTAL CALLS FOR 1994 12,601

In 1994, the Department continued its move toward a community oriented philosophy of policing for Wakefield. The D.A.R.E. program and bicycle patrols in the lake and downtown areas continued with strong public acceptance. The Citizens Police Academy Program was begun in 1994 and was a huge success.

Twenty - five citizens from across the Town participated in an eight week program designed to familiarize citizens with the operations of the Department. Citizens Police Academy graduates went on patrol at the end of the training program. A major drug investigation resulted in the seizure of $1,000,000 worth of cocaine in a combined Wakefield - D.E.A. drug investigation. A second drug investigation resulted in the seizure of marijuana, weapons, two cases of explo- sives and military munitions as well as stolen electronic equipment.

ARREST ACTIVITY Males 1008 Females 183 TOTAL ARRESTS 1191 Adults 1131 Juveniles 60 TOTAL ARRESTS 1191 Significant crime category totals for this year included:

Sex Crimes (All Categories) 31 Robbery (All Categories) 4 Burglary (All Categories) 225 Assaults 175 Motor Vehicles Stolen 66 Domestic Related Calls 351 Disturbances 1200 Increasing the safety of pedestrian and vehicular travel has a high priority for the Department. Efforts to control and regulate Wakefield's resident and visitor traffic have included selective enforcement and directed patrols in those areas of citizen complaint and/or high accident frequency.

TRAFFIC ACTIVITY Accidents Investigated 387 Speeding 1013 Vehicles Involved 696 Operating Unregistered M.V. 285 Accidents W/O Injuries 271 Red Light Violation 255 Accidents With injuries 108 No Inspection Sticker 255 Fatal Accidents 1 Operating After Suspension 216 183rd ANNUAL REPORT 25

Parking Violations Issued 2646 Operating Uninsured M.V. 158 Selective enforcement and directed patrols have played a significant role in reducing traffic accidents and accident severity. In 1993 the Department issued 1,984 Uniform Motor Vehicle Citations and investigated 430 accidents involving 797 vehicles. By contrast in 1994 the Department issued 3,048 Uniform Motor Vehicle Citations and investigated 387 accidents involving 696 vehicles.

PREVENTION ACTIVITIES

The program of both uniformed and plainclothes offficer patrols in the retau/commercial area at Christmas was again a success in 1994. This effort addressed the need for crime prevention/apprehension, and traffic control in the downtown area during the holidays. It also recognized a need for officers to re- establish and maintain direct contact with the citizens of the Town through high visibility foot patrols. Offficers conducted crime prevention speaking engagements at senior citizen housing during 1994 to educate our seniors to crime issues impacting their lifestyle.

TRAINING

The Department in 1994 maintained its emphasis upon training of its personnel. New or upgraded training was provided in deadly force and use of firearms, non-lethal weapon(s), and handling of domestic violence situations. Lieutenant John MacKay graduated from the prestigious eleven week F.B.I. National Acad- emy training program in Quantico, Virginia. Supervisory personnel attended Babson College, New England Institute of Law Enforcement Management. Increased attention to training issues, as laws change governing police procedures, remains the best protection for both offficers and the citizens they serve. The Rules and Regulations for the Department were completely reviewed, updated and rewritten for the first time since 1987.

The Department recognizes its obligation to provide professional police service, seeks those resources necessary to accomplish our mission and welcomes citizen participation toward maintaining a high quality of life in Wakefield. Respectfully submitted, STEPHEN DOHERTY Chief of Police .

Report of Chief of Fire Department

1994 was the busiest year that the Wakefield Fire Department has experienced since 1989, responding to 1,988 emergency incidents. The most serious incident that the department encountered during the year was a fast moving, spectacular fire that destroyed a Morrison Avenue home on Friday afternoon, February 18th. The fire required a mutual aid response and 2 alarms on Box 251 to be controlled, but fortunately, nobody was injured. Other serious incidents handled by the department during 1994 included house fires on Vernon Street, Brandt Circle, and Spring Street. Quick action by firefighters evacuating the sprawling Colonial Hilton Hotel averted a potential disaster when a natural gas line was severed by a contractor.

As of December 31, 1994, the Wakefield Fire Department consisted of fifty one (51) members, including the Fire Chief, one (1) clerk, four (4) Captains, five (5) Lieutenants, and forty (40) Firefighters. Veteran Firefighter Roger M. Wenzel retired from the department on Feb- ruary 1, 1994, completing 34 years of dedicated service to the Town of Wake- field. Firefighter Wenzel, a very dedicated and conscientious firefighter, will be sorely missed, but we wish him a healthy and happy retirement

To fill the vacancy created by Firefighter Wenzel's retirement, Francis "Randy" Hudson was appointed a Permanent Firefighter on May 25th, and assigned to Group 1. With the approval of the annual Town Meeting in May, the position of Fire Prevention Officer was reinstated, and Firefighter Michael J.

Sullivan was promoted to Fire Lieutenant to fill this position on September 19th. Firefighter Kenneth B. Alexander was commended in January for his exemplary actions in preventing a serious accident by skillfully controlling 183rd ANNUAL REPORT 27

Engine 1, which had skidded on black ice while responding to an automobile fire on North Avenue. In April, Reading Fire Chief Donald Wood commended Wake- field Firefighter Arthur G. Cole, for his actions in assisting at a serious automobile accident in that community while off duty . The biggest problem that faced the department during 1S34, was the mechanical problems that we experienced with our aging fleet of fire apparatus, the average age of which is twenty years. Constant mechanical problems, partic- ularly with Ladder 1, Engines 4 and 2, created a situation of excessive repair costs, excessive out of service time, and apparatus that was unreliable for emergency-public safety protection. In response to this problem, the department is very pleased that the Special Town Meeting of June 23rd approved the purchase of a new $ 380,000 aerial ladder truck, and the November 30th Special Town Meeting approved the purchase of a $ 225,000 pumping engine. The delivery of both pieces of this badly needed equipment is expected in late 1995, and will reduce the average age of our equipment to six (6) years. Also during 1994, the department purchased a 1994 Chevrolet Blazer, a four wheel drive vehicle for use by the Fire Chief, and assigned the 1987 Ford sedan to the Fire Prevention Officer. The department added 1,500 feet of new 1 1/2" lightweight forest fire hose, a heavy duty washer and dryer to clean each firefighter's protective clothing, and updated our protective breathing equipment by adding new Kevlar lightweight compressed air cylinders.

The fire department added a new service during 1994, that of providing cardiac defibrillation to victims of sudden cardiac arrest. Thanks to the generous donations of local businesses and residents, $ 8,600 were raised to purchase two (2) semi automatic cardiac defibrillators and all of our firefighters were trained in their use in June and July. In addition, the Rotary Club of Wakefield was kind enough to donate three (3) new cold water / ice rescue suits to the department, a donation worth nearly $ 1,000, that is greatly appreciated. The reinstatement of the Fire Prevention Officer position in the department during 1994 has proved to be invaluable. Fire Prevention Officer - Lieutenant Michael J. Sullivan has instituted a fire safety and burn prevention education program that has been presented to the preschools (ages 3 - 5) during 1994, and will be expanded into the primary grades of our school system as we enter 1995. The department also held another very successful Open House in October at the Headquarters station as part of our Fire Prevention Week activities.

Training is a very important component of the operation of a fire department. During 1994, Firefighters Philip R. Rogers, Jr., Robert Trant, Philip Preston, William Carr, Louis Sardella, Jr., and Francis Hudson, all graduated from the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy Recruit Training Program. This is a training resource that is FREE to Massachusetts' cities and towns, and provides valuable training to our newly appointed firefighters. Also during 1994, the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy presented two programs here in Wakefield; a three hour program entitled "First Due' as well as a two day course in pumper operations. Other training activities included vis- operations its by both Amtrack commuter rail and the M.B.T.A. commuter bus who demonstrated the safe operations in and around their equipment; a combined mass casualty incident exercise conducted in conjunction with Life Line Ambulance Service; training in handling electrical emergencies conducted by operations, Jack Fenton of the W.M.G.L.D.; training in auto extrication, foam 28 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD

and basic hose and ladder evolutions. The department is grateful to several local residents who allowed firefighters to utilize their vacant structures for training just prior to them being demolished.

Report of 1994 Fire Alarm Fi re-Police- Traffic

During the past year, the Alarm Department at the request of Fire Chief David Parr, renumbered the alarm boxes at the West Ward School, Audubon Road and the Salem Street area. In doing this we went from three and four digit numbers, such as "595 to 5965" to new numbers with two or three digits. The reason we did this was because every time an alarm of fire came in from the street or transmitted from the station, the tone that went out over the radio would tie up the air waves, not only for Wakefield but anyone else who was on that channel. This was a total of twenty-four boxes. We also added a total of four new alarm boxes to the system, making the total 309 boxes Town-wide (151 master boxes and 158 street boxes). Toward the end of 1994 we started to test the alarm boxes throughout the Town which we are still in the process of doing.

The traffic part of this Division saw an abnormal rash of service calls to Main and Nahant Streets. Outside service people were needed to correct this problem. There was, also, a power surge on the west side of Town which caused the "Conflict Monitor" to be damaged and had to be replaced with a new unit. Respectfully submitted, ALBERT D. UVA Supt. of Fire Alarm

Report of the Housing Authority

The Wakefield Housing Authority was chartered in 1963 to provide housing for low income elders, families, and the disabled. All of its projected income and expenditures are approved either by the Commonwealth of Massa- chusetts through the Executive Office of Communities and Development (EOCD) or by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Authority owns and manages three elderly housing developments; 116 apartments at Hart's Hil|/Woodbury Road, 10 apartments and 15 congregate units at Lincoln School House, and 40 apartments at Crystal View. Eight apartments of two bedrooms each are rented to low income families and the Authori- ty's newest development adjacent to the Hart's Hill Complex provides residential facilities for 8 Department of Mental Retardation clients. Two programs of leased housing are provided: 181 Section 8 portable certificates and vouchers funded by the Federal Government and a 31 unit State Rental Voucher Program. The Authority participated in two programs which brought in additional help for the maintenance department at no cost to the Authority. Under a Fed- eral Program two Wakefield youths 14-16 years old, worked doing outside maintenance during the summer. Also, the Authority availed itself of the services provided by teams of workers from the Community Service Work Program sponsored by the Middlesex County Sheriffs Department. These workers did painting, cleaning, and yard work which would otherwise not get done. 182nd ANNUAL REPORT 41

With an emergency grant from EOCD, the Lincoln School roof was replaced with a new slate roof and copper trim. A Federal modernization grant was awarded to the Authority in the sum of $45,000 to upgrade and repair a group of items.

As required by Chapter 48 of the Acts of 1950, an Act authorizing the Town of Wakefield to establish a Board of Public Works, I respectfully submit a report of the work accomplished in 1994 with thoughts for the future.

1. As part of a Town wide process the Board of Public-Works adopted a Community Action Statement for the Department of Public Works. The Commu- nity Action Statement presents the Departments problems and needs, and iden- tifies possible solutions to them. The main focus of the Community Action State- ment was the development of planned/preventive maintenance programs for all public works functions. The implementation of these programs will allow the DPW to operate more efficiently.

2. Recognizing deficiencies in the existing Street Opening Rules and Regula- tions, new rules and regulations were adopted by the Board of Public Works in 1994. The new regulations provide for more stringent repair and deposit requirements, so that the Town's roadway infrastructure can be better protected.

3. For the first time in over ten years, the Annual Town Meeting provided funding for the construction of new sidewalks. Working with the School Depart- ment, a prioritized sidewalk construction program was developed, with the Oak Street sidewalk being the first project undertaken. The Department of Public Works will continue with this program if funding is provided for additional projects.

4. The D.P.W. applied for, and received, a grant in the amount of approximately $4,000 from the Governor's Highway Safety Bureau for a Work Zone Safety Protection Kit. The equipment received with this grant will provide for improved public and employee safety.

5. The Department of Public Works was actively involved in assisting and

participating in the Town's celebration of it's 350th anniversary. I would like to thank all of the D.P.W. employees who assisted in the preparation for this

event. In particular, I would like to thank Joseph Starr of the Highway Division for his dedication and carpentry expertise.

6. Wakefield's Cannon restoration project was completed, with the two 1876 Breech-Loading Howitzers placed back on the upper common.

7. A substantial liability to the Town was eliminated with the moving of the deteriorated Spaulding Street Bathhouse to the Forest Glade Cemetery. The building is now being used at the cemetery as a garage for much needed vehicle and material storage.

8. The yardwaste recycling program conducted at the Nahant Street site continues to provide savings for the Town. In 1994 savings of approximately $20,000 in reduced tipping fees and loam and gravel purchases, was realized as a result of this operation.

9. The Department undertook the removal of four (4) old underground fuel storage tanks at the North Avenue Public Works Facility. -Following this, two new aboveground fuel storage tanks and a computerized fuel management system were installed. The entire project cost of approximately $250,000, was paid for with funds from the State's 1991 Transportation Bond Bill. _47 182nd ANNUAL REPORT

10. The DP.W. is continuing its water main improvement program. By the end of Fiscal Year 1995, approximately 1.2 million dollars of work will have been completed since the program began in 1991. The total cost to replace all the Town's old unlined water mains is estimated to be approximately 10 million dollars.

11. During 1994, the D.P.W. saw four of it's employees retire. Joan Math- ewson, with 23 years of service, and Alice Fitzpatrick, with 13 years of service retired from the Administration Division. Additionally, John Hildreth with 17 years of service in the Water/Sewer Division and Martin Lawrence with 28 years of service in the Forestry & Parks Division retired this past year. From all of us in the D.P.W. we wish both Joan, Alice, John and Marty a very happy retirement.

For details of Department accomplishments, I refer you to the attached reports. In conclusion, I would like to thank the following supervisors for their support during calendar year 1994 and for their assistance in preparing this report. David Lane Operations Supervisor Robert Belanger Forestry/Park and Cemetery Supervisor Chester Confalone Water & Sewer Supervisor Dennis Gorman Fleet Maintenance Supervisor Louis Perillo Highway Supervisor Richard Testa Building Supervisor Gregory Willett Town Engineer all Additionally, I would like to extend my appreciation and gratitude to employees of the Department of Public Works. Respectfully submitted, DONALD N. ONUSSEIT, P.E. Director of Public Works

Leadership FY'94 will be remembered as a year of great change in Wakefield Public

Schools. Terrance Holmes took over as Superintendent of Schools on July 1, 1994. Ronald Struminski became the Principal of Wakefield High School in August, 1994, Clif LaPorte became the new Principal for the Hurd, Walton and West Ward Schools in October of 1994 and Patricia Barrett became the new Principal of the Greenwood and Yeuell Schools in November of 1994.

Roles and Responsibilities The School Committee, under the leadership of Chairman William Skulley, worked with the new Superintendent to develop a written document defining the working relationship between the School Committee and the Superinten- dent. This document was completed and implemented in the fall of 1994 and has resulted in a new and different working relationship between the two parties.

Entry Plan Superintendent Holmes completed an Entry Plan in December and delivered the results to the School Committee and Community in early January of 1995. The plan confirmed that the schools are generally in good shape but that work needed to be done to improve facilities, technology, curriculum coordina- tion, trust, staff evaluation, leadership, team building, instruction, public relations, employee relations and building maintenance. 183rd ANNUAL REPORT 57

Facilities

School facilities and related problems consumed a large block of time and attention in FY'94. A Facilities Survey Committee made up of citizen volunteers completed a comprehensive document detailing the present condition of all school sites. The Facilities Survey Committee was comprised of: Ronald Collins, Leo Couture, John Haladay, Wayne Hardacker, Stephen Howard, George Liv- ingstone, John Malone, George Porter, Time Healy and Richard Barker. In September there was a ceiling collapse at the West Ward School. Luckily no one was injured and those kindergarten students were transferred to the Walton School for the rest of the year. The town, at a Special Town Meeting in November, raised one hundred twenty thousand dollars to developed a detail plan to address school needs for the next twenty to fifty years.

Recognition

Galvin Junior High School teacher David Mayo was honored at the state level for excellence in the teaching of Social Studies. In the spring of 1994 fifty- four teachers completed twenty-five years of successful service to the Town of Wakefield. The Music and Drama Departments continued to have great success both locally and at the state and regional level. The Superintendent's Award of Excellence was given to Wakefield High School Senior Kathleen Turco in the fall of 1994. In December forty-five Wakefield High School Juniors and Seniors were inducted into the National Honor Society.

School Councils The School Councils, defined by the Educational Reform Law of 1993, were formed and began their important work. Their mandated school improvement plans were completed and presented to the School Committee and community in the late spring of 1994.

Health Education The State mandated Health Education Program was implemented in 1994. School Safety and Health Education Forums were held. A new K-6 Health Edu- cation Curriculum was developed and adopted. The School Department sponsored programs to promote wellness for students and staff. The community with great support from both students and staff, participated in a very successful Stride-for-Life Walk in September.

Franklin Institute, University of M-sachu' setts, Salem State, and Merrimack College are among the other public Tnd no- vate institutions we have developed articulations with. These agreements enable students to have the option to continue their education in an apprenticeship program, certificate course, an associate anoVor bac- calaureate degree. Through Tech Prep we have a better motivated High School student and the post- secondary institutions receive a well prepared candidate for their career area.

RUSSIAN STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM Northeast students faciiIty In mid October of 1993, a group of eighteen commitment to *™ s retirees and relatives continued their ^ ^™™™ Russia. ^«***W£ Exchange program when they left Northeast for Northeast group Mr. Pelley, leader of the >>™*^£ changes noticed by exchange. the one year since the last western influence had come to Russia in 70 TOWN OF WAKEFIELD

The days spent with the Russian students and their families, as well as the visit to the two schools, were certainly the highlight of the trip and one that will be remembered for a long time. It reinforced our desire and interest to keep the Exchange alive as we look forward to the spring when our Russian friends come to Northeast and stay with Northeast families. In March of 1994 the Northeast/Russian Exchange Program continued with the arrival of 5 Russian students and 3 adults (two teachers and one assistant principal) from St. Petersburg. The Northeast family (faculty and students) hosted these guests for the two week period they were in the United States and brought them to school each day for a variety of programs which included speaking to the student in several classes and sharing the different and similar experiences of high school. They were also taken on several sightseeing tours of the greater Boston area and were saddened that their visit didn't last longer.

STUDENT BUILT HOUSE The Northeast students completed the Student Built House in Woburn. Stu- dents from the Drafting & Design, Sheet Metal, Cabinetmaking, Electrical and Carpentry Departments added their expertise to this project.

SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE The Northeast Scholarship Committee awarded individual scholarships to sixty deserving students at 1994 graduation exercises. The total of $185,650 was given in scholarships. The average award was $2,652 with 78 % of the scholarship aid going to students furthering their education at a 4 year school.

Northeast students beginning work in their vocational field or entering trade apprenticeship programs garnered 22 % of the scholarship assistance to enable them to purchase costly tools and equipment as well as entry level expenses toward trade education programs.

PEER MEDIATION LEADERS In September, Northeast initiated a Peer Mediation Program. This conflict resolution program was modeled after many successful programs in the state. Six- teen students and staff members were trained in such skills as listening, negotia- tion, problem solving, decision making and diversity recognition. The peer media- tors are encouraged to hear both sides of a story, not decide who is right or wrong, and persuade peers that it's "cool" to walk away from confrontation.

NON-TRADITIONAL SUPPORT GROUP This year a non-traditional support group has begun to serve as a "comfort zone" for those students who have chosen careers that are considered non-traditional for their gender, race, etc., (ie. women in the building trades, men in the health care industry, etc.). The group, now numbering 68 members, meets monthly for a variety of activities. The Club has been visited by speakers from non-traditional careers, viewed the most current films/texts on gender equity issues, taken field trips to work sites and chosen career mentors among other things.

SUMMER PROGRAMS

The summer of 1994 was a busy time at Northeast with a full scale academic 183rd ANNUAL REPORT 7] and vocational summer school in operation. Over 150 students in grades 9 through 12 participated.

The popular Computer Camp, with over 156 students, took on a whole new look in 1994, it was the sixth year for this ever expanding program. It is the objective of the counselors to teach campers skills that they can use during their regular school year. The new programs will help strengthen reading and math skills, and there is a segment of the curriculum that provides for the improvement of social skills. The computer equipment has also been updated and will now include programs geared specifically to the primary grade levels of 1, 2, and 3 as well as continue servicing our grades 4 thru 8 population.

The computer Camp schedule consisted of a three-hour rotating schedule of computer lab, swimming, and sports and games.

ADULT EDUCATION Adult Education continued at an all-time high, with over 2000 students enrolled this year. Our goal is to provide as many educational services as possible to the 350,000 residents of the Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational School District. In pursuing this goal, the Adult Education staff maximizes uti- lization of the Northeast facilities, offering an extensive selection of stimulating and practical programs Monday through Saturday during the school year and Monday through Friday during the summer months.

Northeast offers a State Approved Auto Damage Appraisal Program, as well as a Masters program in Electrical, Plumbing and gasfitting. As the Number One apprentice training center in New England, we annually guide hundreds of young men and women as they prepare for their journeyman or master license in their trade. For the many senior citizens enrolled, we offer a wide variety of programs designed to satisfy their interest in crafts, hobbies, physical fitness, etc. on the A new dimension for the 1994-95 Adult education agenda is the focus health care and related fields which project high employment possibilities. Chemistry Courses such as Anatomy and Physiology, Algebra (pre-nursing), Terminology and (pre-nursing) and Certified Nurse Aide, as well as Medical mirror this trend. Medical Transcription, and Human Biology (Anatomy) all

ATHLETIC RECORDS The Northeast Knights Hockey Team, for the 11th straight year captured the League Championship with a record of 17-2-2, and also participated the State Tournament. The Knights Girls Softball Team came in 1st Place in the Lower Division.

DISTRICT SCHOOL COMMITTEE CHANGES & ELECTIONS On June 26, 1994, School Committee Chairman, Ronald J. Jannino, who served as Chairman for five years, resigned from the Committee and was replaced by Patsy W. Tata. In May of 1994 Mr. Sweeney, now Chairman of the District School Committee was reelected to a four year term. At the Annual Reorganizational Meeting of the District School Committee on April 14, 1994 the following members were re-elected Officers of the District School Committee: Chairman — Paul L. Sweeney of North Reading Vice Chairman — James G. Wallace of Winthrop Secretary — Michael T. Wall of Chelsea Treasurer — John B. Pacino of Reading Asst. Treasurer — William C. Mahoney of Melrose

CONCLUSION

As Northeast continues into its third decade of vocational/technical services to its twelve member communities, its aim is to continue to offer the very latest in vocational and academic education by maintaining a high level of performance. The school curriculum continues to offer students the finest education with which to build a successful career, no matter which career path they have chosen.

Evidence of our past success is reflected in the students that have graduated from Northeast Metro Tech. They continue to return to the school for further education through the adult education and night courses and many have gone on to higher education. Testimonials as to the success of our graduates continue to be received, which makes us proud to have contributed in some small way to these individual success stories.

In conclusion, it has been a pleasure to have represented Wakefield as a member of the Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational District School Committee not only to serve as the guardian of funds allocated from the community to this educational institution, but to assist in and provide counsel to the school in maintaining the highest standards of educational excellence possible.

Report of the Board of Trustees Lucius Beebe Memorial Library

Each year, the Board of Library Trustees approves and adopts policies, maintains trust funds and works with the Director and staff to promote and protect library resources for the Town of Wakefield. In 1994 Wakefield voters elected Kevin Penders, Ellen Cope-Flanagan, Peter Scott and Julio Encarnacao to the Board. Harold Regan served as Chair in 1994, Mary Vincent as Vice-chair and Kristina Carrick as Secretary. This year the Board continued a long-term building improvement and renovation program. We approved a Library Building Program document completed by a consultant, NLB Associates. A Library Building Study Committee was formed by directive of Town Meeting. The Committee chose an architectural firm Childs, Bertman, Tseckares Inc. to develop plans and cost estimates for a building renovation. The Committee's interim report was accepted by Town Meeting. Board member Ellie Cope-Flanagan represented the Library on the Town Capital Outlay Committee. In other actions this year, the Board reviewed and revised the Library Director's contract and salary schedule, approved an Action Plan for FY96 and beyond, and oversaw a continuing process of putting Beebe Library "online."

Library trust fund monies were used this year to purchase computers, a public access printer and online catalog equipment. Trusts also paid capital and other costs to link schools to NOBLE (North of Boston Library Exchange). As in past years, the Board spent trust monies to fund the Library's summer reading program, and to bring a visiting author to speak to Wakefield's third graders (this year Lucinda Landon appeared).

Again this year Beebe Library is indebted to the Friends of Beebe Library for their support, financial and otherwise. Membership dues and funds raised in the Friends' annual book sale pay for all kinds of "extras" enjoyed by our patrons. The Friends provide all of the Library's museum passes, including a new one in 1994 to the JFK museum. Also this year the Friends underwrote the automated magazine index, PROQUEST, paid for new toys and a new computer in the Youth Room, provided new paperback book display towers and book carts and put up seed money for development of the Library's CD collection. The Library's 1994 Wish List to the Friends totalled more than $14,000. The Friends also spent funds to provide cultural opportunities to the community. The group brought two dramatic presentations to the library in 1994, and organized a trip to the Red Sox and a historical outing to the Lowell mills. New members are always welcomed by the Friends. Pick up a membership form at the Library!

The Board takes this opportunity to thank the many Wakefield residents and organizations who made gifts to the Library, adopted magazines or donated books in memory of loved ones. Many residents and patrons participated in focus groups to help us ascer- tain the Library's needs into the 21st century. Others served on the Library Building Study Committee. Thank you for the gift of your time. The Trustees are grateful to all the library volunteers who contributed time and talent to make the Library better. 183rd ANNUAL REPORT 77

The Board commends the library staff and the Director on another year of accomplishment in 1994.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARY DIRECTOR

Library staff spent 1994 with one eye on 2014, which is the twenty year planning horizon recommended for library construction. Working with the existing period pieces from the 1920's and the 1960's, a vision has developed of a library building that can do justice to information technology in the 21st century.

The first step in formulating the vision was the appointment of a Library Building FVogram Committee. Chaired by Gray Sawyer, the committee included Mary Vincent (Secretary), Dick Boutiette, Tim Healy, Philip McCarty, Peter Scott, and the Library Director. The Committee hired NLB Associates to consult in developing a building program. After conducting a community assessment, NLB Associates worked with library staff to define the building that could meet the community's requirements. In September, the Library Building Study Com- mittee signed off on the building program document that was subsequently accepted by the Board of Library Trustees. The 1994 Town Meeting established a Library Building Study Committee, which hired the architectural firm Childs Bertman Tseckares Inc. (CBT) to fit the approved program to the existing building. By the close of 1994 the function- chairmanship of al areas had been mapped out. Guiding this process under the Fletcher, Peter Scott are Committee members Gray Sawyer (Secretary), Kent Tim Healy, Henry McConville, Rozelin Spielman, and Mary Vincent. by com- As proposed, the renovated building addresses the objectives voiced universal munity members during the initial assessment phase of this project: arrangement of book access, whether by wheelchair or stroller; a sequential of workstations for access- stacks for easier self-service; the logical distribution toddlers, elementary school ing electronic information, well-defined areas for children's activities; an invit- age children, and young adults; a program area for the Avon Street entrance is ing meeting room for civic groups.

PUBLIC SERVICES

Online catalog The circulation system and public access catalog systems were upgraded in late spring. Circulation procedures on LIBS 100 Plus, the new system, were altered completely so staff required training sessions to learn the new methods. One of the advantages to the system is the fact that it allows greater freedom and flexibility to choose different ways to handle transactions. Assistant Director Betty Owens, Circulation Administrator Marie Field, and Senior Library Assis- tant Jean Taatjes were in charge of scheduling and monitoring staff training.

Staff development A grant from the Massachusetts Library Aid Association sponsored by the Board of Library Commissioners partially funded a joint project for the Wake- field and Reading library staffs. JB Consultant services provided three work- shops on Total Quality Management for staffs of both libraries.

Volunteers Joanne Brown, Helen Camier, Walter Creedon, Fred Forster, Kristen Hen- shaw, Ruth Mahoney and Bonnie Jean Mohr gave hours of service as a Christ- mas bonus to the community by straightening bookshelves throughout the library. Respectfully submitted, CHARLOTTE THOMPSON Assistant Director and Head of Public Services

YOUTH SERVICES

Story hours for preschoolers provide early introduction to the library and the world of books. Parents and caretakers are encouraged to use books every 183rd ANNUAL REPORT 79 day and to look for excuses to include a book in all kinds of exploration with their children.

In January, directors of early childhood centers met with parents to talk about learning experiences children have in area preschools. The program was videotaped and shown on local cable TV. Teachers bring classes to the library to learn how to find information. The library provides stories, booktalks, and bibliographic instruction. After school, the librarians are busy helping older students with homework to find the material needed.

Lucinda Landon, children's mystery writer, was guest speaker for Author Day this year. Ms. Landon is an illustrator as well as writer so she could enter- tain her audience with pictures as well as tales of the writer's experiences. All third graders were invited to this program.

The family-oriented summer reading program was called Ticket to Read, the theme chosen by the state regional system for all participating children's libraries, to promote, through unified title and effort, reading during summer vacation. Liz Freeman contributed her time and skill to teaching children some of what she knows about how to put on a puppet show. Then they put on a show for family and friends. Esther Nowell and associates carried through a pet show from the first hour to the finished cable performance. Susan Linn entertained the youngest nonreading members of the reading programs with song, guitar and ventriloquism for her puppets. Roxie Billings held the attention of Ameri- can Girl enthusiasts who sometimes brought their dolls to meetings. Along with vacation story hours and a book club for older children there were events such as the Hurdy Gurdy Man and Michelle's Menagerie that added sparkle to the summer that seemed shorter every week. At the end there was a party for all who completed a minimum number of hours of reading. Adopt-a- Shelf, a program to enlist young adults to look after assigned shelves has been highly successful in getting older children to sign up to care for a shelf of books.

The increased use of CD-ROM automated periodical indexes allowed the former Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature to be relegated to basement storage. The index table which had held Reader's Guide was converted to a homework center displaying class assignments and high interest reading for high school students.

The aging phonograph record collection was weeded heavily to make room for the growing collections of books on tape, compact discs, and videos. The demand for these new products impacts the book budget. Therefore, we are grateful for the generosity of the Wakefield Rotary Club, which provided funds for Peterson's College Selection Service on CD-ROM and historical and travel videos, and for the Friends of Beebe Library, who assist with the costs of the automated periodical indexes. Respectfully submitted, CHARLOTTE THOMPSON Readers' and Information Services Coordinator

HOME DELIVERY SERVICE

The library's Home Delivery Service brings the pleasures of reading to those in the community unable, for one reason or another, to visit the library themselves.

Severe weather conditions both last winter and this past summer increased the demand for this service on a temporary basis. The following volunteers provide pick-up and delivery service and are to be commended for their generous assistance: Marie Beyer, Lloyd K. Brown, Sara DiPerri, Nancy DiTullio, John and Mary Gray, Kristen Henshaw, Evelyn Holmes, Debbie Judge, Alice Morrison, Gail Shevlin, Pat Silveira, Elinor Smith and Kathy Young. Respectfully submitted, MAUREEN NEVIN Librarian

TECHNICAL SERVICES

This year, as in past years computer training and troubleshooting occupied a high place on the Technical Services agenda. In the spring of 1994, new software was installed by the NOBLE network which required training in new searching and data entry techniques. Training was also provided in new ways to access the NOBLE database. Until recently the NOBLE database was accessed mostly through the use of dumb terminals. The Technical Services department trained library staff to access the NOBLE database through personal computers as well. Computer training in Windows and WordPerfect has also been provided to library staff. 183rd ANNUAL REPORT 81

The gift magazine drive, administered by the Technical Services department and celebrating its fifth year, was once again successful. O'er 40 community organizations and individuals contributed $1200 to help pay for more than 50 magazines.

Respectfully submitted, REBECCA ROHR Head of Technical Services ADULT LITERACY PROGRAM

The Wakefield Adult Literacy Workshop follows the local school year. The 1993/94 season ended in June with the annual potluck dinner on the 15th. Sta- tistics show that the program provided services to 87 learners during the school year. Sixty-eight were learners of English as a Second Language (ESL), representing 29 countries and 19 languages from around the world. The remaining students were native-born English speakers practicing reading, writing, and math skills.

At least 18 tutors kept a summer schedule with their learners. As of December 31, 1994, the program had 60 tutor/learner pairs participating. Eleven of these were studying Basic Reading Skills and 49 more were pursuing English as a Second Language. The 49 ESL learners represent 21 countries and speak 17 languages. The program did not hold an open registration again this year because there were several people remaining on the waiting list from the spring semes- ter, and the list had lengthened over the summer to include 45 people. The need for volunteer tutors is constant. Volunteers work one-on-one with their learners for approximately two hours per week. Thirty-four tutors have more than one year of Adult Literacy Workshop experience, and several have been with the Workshop for more than five years. gratifying.

Report of the Wakefield Municipal Gas and Light Department

To The Citizens of the Town of Wakefield

Our one hundred first Annual Report of the Municipal Gas and Light

Department covers the fiscal period July 1, 1993 to June 30, 1994.

The total electric sales of the Department increased by approximately 2.5% over the previous fiscal year. The number of additional customers has continued to increase despite the slowing of the economy. The Department also began investigating the possibility of building a second floor on the North Avenue garage in order to consolidate the utility operations and make the administrative office more accessible to the handicapped. We are continuing to update our outside plant in order to increase service reliability.

The gas sales of the Department increased by approximately 3.5% due to the extremely cold weather that occurred in January and February and a 3.5% increase in the number of gas heat customers. The Department also began the construction of a fast fill compressed natural gas (CNG) station that will be used to fuel the Department vehicles and to sell to the vehicles owned by the sur- rounding businesses. The Department is also in the final stages of signing a gas supply contract with a new gas supplier. Gas from this contract will commence with the next heating season (Nov. 94).

Eightieth Annual Report of the Town Accountant

FOR THE FISCAL PERIOD ENDING JUNE 30, 1994

The format of the financial statement printed in the 1994 town report is changed from the past town reports. The new style of financial statements is due to 1) the conversion from the statutory system to the New Uniform Munici- pal Accounting System and 2) the new computer software purchased by the Town of Wakefield. The total cash expenditures charged to the departmental accounts processed by the town accountant's office amounted to $64,154,312.00.

The total cash revenue received by the town during the fiscal year amounted to $63,832,080.00. The records of the town treasurer have been examined and found to be in agreement with the accountant's balances. Trust funds have been checked by examination of Savings Bank accounts and deposit books. All canceled, permament and temporary loans paid during the year by the treasurer have been examined and found to be as reported.

A general financial audit of the Town of Wakefield, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1994, and the Town of Wakefield Contributory Retirement System for the calendar year ended December 31, 1993 was performed by Powers and Sullivan, certified public accountants, 545 Salem Street, Wakefield, MA. The complete financial statements of the town, together with the report of Powers and Sullivan, CPA are on file in the office of the Board of Selectmen and are available for review upon request during normal business hours.
