Jean was employed by the Town for 40 years. She worked for several departments and retired from the Treasurer/Collector’s office in January 2018. Jean was known for her hugs, smiles and laughter. Jean hugged everyone who came to the office. She knew just about everyone and their families. Jean always asked about your Mom, Dad, brother, sister, cousin; you knew she cared about you. Jean loved her family and was always spending time with her great grandchildren. Jean was also very generous and willing to lend a helping hand, whether helping a colleague, St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry or whipping up one of her famous recipe’s for kielbasa or dirt pie for a fundraiser. We miss her at Town Hall. 1 IN MEMORIAM E. Jeanne Bombardier Richard E. McCarthy William A.

IANNELLA, JR. -- FOURTH Governor's Council: DISTRICT District Attorney: TIMOTHY J. CRUZ -- PLYMOUTH DISTRICT 3 REPORT OF THE TOWN MANAGER To the inhabitants of the Town of Abington: As your Town Manager I am pleased to present my town report for the year 2019. As is the case annually in Abington the Fiscal Year 2020 budget process was very challenging due to the growth in fixed costs versus the limitations on revenue growth. The municipal revenue stream, that includes predominantly property tax, state aid and local receipts, simply does not meet the needs of most cities and towns in the Commonwealth. State laws regarding health insurance, pension assessment, collective bargaining and more, are not consistent with state laws limiting the ability to raise local revenue. This disconnect causes cities and towns, including Abington, to annually struggle to maintain level services and makes it virtually impossible to meet other the needs of the town. Two major, unforeseen factors during the budget process were the escalating costs for solid waste collection and the inability of ambulance receipts to meet the operating requirements of the Fire Department. The financial team had to cope with the exorbitantly escalating cost of tipping fees for recyclables. It was only a few short years ago when recyclables were an offset to solid waste tipping fees, however in FY 2020 it was necessary to increase the proposed budget by over $200,000.00 – and there’s no end in sight. The lack of “end-users” for the quantity of recycling material generated through the nation is causing this “budget buster” to grow uncontrollably. In addition to solid waste costs, it was also necessary to increase funding to the Fire Department budget by approximately $200,000.00 to supplement the inability of our Ambulance Enterprise Fund to meet the costs of Emergency Medical/Paramedic Service. In fact, the Enterprise Fund was eliminated at the direction of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Revenue. These and other, smaller factors compromised the town’s ability to deliver services. The town was fortunate to receive additional Chapter 70 School aid as a result of the additional school population due to the addition of the full-day kindergarten program, as well as the return of out-of-district students attracted by the new Middle/High School. Although the additional state funding was expected, the additional costs now borne by the student population offset that funding. But, the addition of full day kindergarten to the parents and students of Abington will ultimately positively impact the education of our children as well as property values throughout town. Even in light of these challenges, with the diligence

    Charles D. Baker, Governor Karyn E. Polito, Lieutenant. Governor Stephanie Pollack, MassDOT Secretary & CEO COMPLETE STREETS FUNDING PROGRAM AWARDEES ~ FY20 ROUND ONE The Complete Streets Funding Program, now in its fourth year, has awarded 124 Construction grants across the Commonwealth totaling $38 million. For Round 7, first for FY20, we are awarding 18 municipalities with grants totaling $5.1 million. In total, 81% of applicants have been funded. 1. Abington – Lincoln Boulevard Shared-Use Path and Traffic Calming $399,996 The project includes a shared-use path along Lincoln Boulevard, utilizing 13-feet of the excess roadway from Abington High School adjacent to several sports fields, the library, and Town Hall to Washington Street, adjacent to Beaver Brook Elementary School, a distance of approximately 1,600 feet. The Town also plans on utilizing available roadway width along Washington Street from Elm to Adams Street, and along Adams Street from Washington Street to Route 139, to provide exclusive bicycle lanes to extend the connection in a north-south direction through the Town. This will extend bicycle connectivity to commercial areas, residential neighborhoods, popular recreational areas, and other points of interest including churches and temples, Island Grove Pond and Park, Abington Park & Recreation, restaurants, shops and the post office. 2. Ayer – School Street Sidewalk $203,118 This project will construct a new sidewalk along School Street from Prospect to Bligh Street (Pirone Park entrance) creating a new connection to the Town park, youth athletic fields, and serve an environmental justice neighborhood.
