46 QUESTION 1 LAW PROPOSED BY INITIATIVE PETITION Do you approve of a law summarized below, on which no vote was taken by the Senate or the House of Representatives on or before May 2, 2018?

SUMMARY This proposed law would limit how many patients could be assigned to each registered nurse in Massachusetts hospitals and certain other health care facilities. The maximum number of patients per registered nurse would vary by type of unit and level of care, as follows: • In units with step-down/intermediate care patients: 3 patients per nurse; • In units with post-anesthesia care or operating room patients: 1 patient under anesthesia per nurse; 2 patients post-anesthesia per nurse; • In the emergency services department: 1 critical or intensive care patient per nurse (or 2 if the nurse has assessed each patient’s condition as stable); 2 urgent non-stable patients per nurse; 3 urgent stable patients per nurse; or 5 non-urgent stable patients per nurse; • In units with maternity patients: (a) active labor patients: 1 patient per nurse; (b) during birth and for up to two hours immediately postpartum: 1 mother per nurse and 1 baby per nurse; (c) when the condition of the mother and baby are determined to be stable: 1 mother and her baby or babies per nurse; (d) postpartum: 6 patients per nurse; (e) intermediate care or continuing care babies: 2 babies per nurse; (f) well-babies: 6 babies per nurse; • In units with pediatric, medical, surgical, telemetry, or observational/outpatient treatment patients, or any other unit: 4 patients per nurse; and • In units with psychiatric or rehabilitation patients: 5 patients per nurse. The proposed law would require a covered facility to comply with the patient assignment limits without reducing its level of nursing, service, maintenance, clerical, professional, and other staff. The proposed law would also require every covered facility to develop a written patient acuity tool for each unit to evaluate the condition of each patient. This tool would be used by nurses in deciding whether patient limits should be lower than the limits of the proposed law at any given time. The proposed law would not override any contract in effect on January 1, 2019 that set higher patient limits. The proposed law’s limits would take effect after any such contract expired. The state Health Policy Commission would be required to promulgate regulations to implement the proposed law. The Commission could conduct inspections to ensure compliance with the law. Any facility receiving written notice from the Commission of a complaint or a violation would be required to submit a written compliance plan to the Commission. The Commission could report violations to the state Attorney General, who could file suit to obtain a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per violation as well as up to $25,000 for each day a violation continued after the Commission notified the covered facility of the violation. The Health 47 Policy Commission would be required to establish a toll-free telephone number for complaints and a website where complaints, compliance plans, and violations would appear. The proposed law would prohibit discipline or retaliation against any employee for complying with the patient assignment limits of the law. The proposed law would require every covered facility to post within each unit, patient room, and waiting area a notice explaining the patient limits and how to report violations. Each day of a facility’s non-compliance with the posting requirement would be punishable by a civil penalty between $250 and $2,500. The proposed law’s requirements would be suspended during a state or nationally declared public health emergency. The proposed law states that, if any of its parts were declared invalid, the other parts would stay in effect. The proposed law would take effect on January 1, 2019. A YES VOTE would limit the number of patients that could be assigned to one registered nurse in hospitals and certain other health care facilities. A NO VOTE would make no change in current laws relative to patient-to-nurse limits.

The Governor, the Secretary of the Commonwealth, the state Attorney General, the Speaker of the state House of Representatives, and the President of the state Senate would each appoint three members of the commission and, in making these appointments, would seek to ensure that the commission reflects a range of geographic, political, and demographic backgrounds.

The commission would be subject to the state Open Meeting Law and Public Records Law. The commission’s first report would be due December 31, 2019, and the Secretary of the Commonwealth would be required to deliver the commission’s report to the state Legislature, the United States Congress, and the President of the United States. The proposed law states that, if any of its parts were declared invalid, the other parts would stay in effect. The proposed law would take effect on January 1, 2019. A YES VOTE would create a citizens commission to advance an amendment to the United States Constitution to limit the influence of money in elections and establish that corporations do not have the same rights as human beings. A NO VOTE would not create this commission.

QUESTION 3 REFERENDUM ON AN EXISTING LAW Do you approve of a law summarized below, which was approved by the House of Representatives and the Senate on July 7, 2016? SUMMARY This law adds gender identity to the list of prohibited grounds for discrimination in places of public accommodation, resort, or amusement. Such grounds also include race, color, religious creed, national origin, sex, disability, and ancestry. A “place of public accommodation, resort or amusement” is defined in existing law as any place that is open to and accepts or solicits the patronage of the general public, such as hotels, stores, restaurants, theaters, sports facilities, and hospitals. “Gender identity” is defined as a person’s sincerely held gender- related identity, appearance, or behavior, whether or not it is different from that traditionally associated with the person’s physiology or assigned sex at birth. This law prohibits discrimination based on gender identity in a person’s admission to or treatment in any place of public accommodation. The law requires any such place that has separate areas for males and females (such as restrooms) to allow 49 access to and full use of those areas consistent with a person’s gender identity. The law also prohibits the owner or manager of a place of public accommodation from using advertising or signage that discriminates on the basis of gender identity. This law directs the state Commission Against Discrimination to adopt rules or policies and make recommendations to carry out this law. The law also directs the state Attorney General to issue regulations or guidance on referring for legal action any person who asserts gender identity for an improper purpose. The provisions of this law governing access to places of public accommodation are effective as of October 1, 2016. The remaining provisions are effective as of July 8, 2016. A YES VOTE would keep in place the current law, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender identity in places of public accommodation. A NO VOTE would repeal this provision of the public accommodation law.

DEFEATED BY STANDING VOTE: YES 84, NO 87 an amended motion to adopt the following bylaw regarding the use of expanded polystyrene disposable food and beverage containers by food establishments in the Town of Shrewsbury.

ARTICLE 8C: EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE BAN IN FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS & TOWN FACILITIES SECTION 1 PURPOSE AND INTENT Expanded polystyrene food containers are not recyclable, nor are they biodegradable, and therefore form a significant portion of the solid waste going into our incinerators and landfills; once burned in an incinerator, they contaminate our air, water, soil, food supply, and bodies and once buried in a landfill, they will remain there for centuries. Styrene, the key ingredient in expanded polystyrene, can leach from polystyrene containers into food and beverages and was recently added in 2011 to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Report on Carcinogens, a science-based document that identifies chemicals that may put people at increased risk for cancer. Eliminating expanded polystyrene food and beverage containers is in the best 70 interest of the health and welfare of the inhabitants of the Town of Shrewsbury.

SECTION 2 EFFECTIVE DATE This bylaw shall take effect on January 1, 2020 to allow time for food establishments and town facilities to use their existing inventory of expanded polystyrene food or beverage containers and to convert to alternative materials.

SECTION 3 DEFINITIONS "Disposable Food Service Container" means single-use disposable products for serving or transporting prepared, ready-to-consume food or beverages. This includes but is not limited to plates, cups, bowls, trays and hinged or lidded containers. This definition does not include single-use disposable items such as straws, cup lids, or utensils, nor does it include single-use disposable packaging for unprepared foods. "Food Establishment" means an operation that stores, prepares, packages, serves, vends, or otherwise provides food for human consumption, as further defined in 105 CMR 590.002. Any establishment requiring a permit to operate In accordance with the State Food Code, 105 CMR 590.000, et. seq., shall be considered a Food Establishment for purposes of this bylaw. "Expanded Polystyrene· (EPS) means polystyrene that has been expanded or "blown" using a gaseous blowing agent into a solid form. "Polystyrene” means and includes expanded polystyrene which is a thermoplastic petrochemical material utilizing a styrene monomer and processed by any number of techniques including, but not limited to, fusion of polymer spheres (expandable bead polystyrene), injection molding, form molding, and extrusion-blow molding (extruded foam polystyrene). The term "polystyrene” also includes dear clear or solid polystyrene which is known as "oriented polystyrene". "Prepared Food" means any fuel food or beverage prepared for consumption on the Food Establishment's premises, using any cooking or food preparation technique. This does not include any raw uncooked meat, fish or eggs unless provided for consumption without further food preparation. "Town Facility" means any building, structure, land or pane park owned or operated by the Town of Shrewsbury, its agents and departments. "Town Facility Users· means all persons, societies, associations, organizations or special event promoters who require a permission to use a Town Facility. Town Facility Users also includes concession contracts with the Town. Town- managed concessions, Town-sponsored e11911ts events and food services provided at the Town's expense.

SECTION 4 PROHIBITION A. Except as provided herein, Food Establishments are prohibited from dispensing Prepared Food to customers in Disposable Food Service containers made from Expanded Polystyrene. B. Town Facility users are prohibited from dispensing Prepared Food to

71 customers in Disposable Food Service containers made from Expanded Polystyrene.

SECTION 5 DEFERMENTS A. Upon written application, the Board of Health, after a public hearing, may defer application of this Bylaw for a Food Establishment for a one year period, upon a showing by the Food Establishment that the conditions of this Bylaw would cause undue hardship. For purposes of this Bylaw, an "undue hardship" is a situation unique to the Food Establishment where there are no reasonable alternatives to the use of expanded polystyrene disposable food service containers and compliance with this provision would cause significant economic hardship to that Food Establishment. B. A Food Establishment granted a deferment by the Town must reapply prior to the end of the one year exemption period and demonstrate continued undue hardship, if it wishes to have the deferment extended. Deferments may only be granted for intervals not to exceed one year. C. A deferment granted in accordance with this Section may be extended for no more than one additional one year period, upon written application to the Board of Health at least two months prior to the expiration of the first deferment period and upon a showing that the circumstances justifying the deferment continue to exist. D. A deferment application shall include all information necessary for the Town to make its decision, including, but not limited to, documentation showing the factual support for the claimed deferment. The Board of Health may require the applicant to provide additional information to permit it to determine facts regarding the deferment application. E. The Board of Health may approve the deferment application, in whole or in part, with or without conditions that it deems necessary to protect the public health and further the interests of this Bylaw. F. Deferment decisions are effective immediately and final.

Article 16: (By Petition) Fluoridation Discontinuance By-Law Finance Committee recommends defeat of Article 16 DEFEATED a motion to adopt the following bylaw to discontinue the fluoridation of the public water supply, recognizing the benefits of switching to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) School Fluoride Mouthrinse Program. ARTICLE 23: FLUORIDATION DISCONTINUANCE BY-LAW SECTION 1 PURPOSE AND INTENT The purposes of this Fluoridation By-law are, among other purposes, to return individual choice to the public as it relates to their health care decisions related to dental caries prevention; to more effectively use taxpayer funds; to safeguard the public health, safety and welfare; and to protect the drinking water quality and safety. The following conditions have been identified as benefits to discontinuing the Community Water Fluoridation Program and switching to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) School Fluoride Mouthrinse Program: A. Who makes the medical decision? a. Mouthrinse program - Parents decide whether or not their child will participate in the program. Adult residents aren’t covered by this program; and therefore can make their own decisions related to tooth decay prevention through consultation with their own doctor and dentist. b. Fluoridation program - The town government is making the medical decision for citizens. B. What does it cost? a. Mouthrinse program - The program is free. Since 1978, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health has supported the Fluoride Mouthrinse Program, providing school-age children with an effective way to reduce decay at no cost to parents or schools. b. Fluoridation program - The town budgets approximately $15,000 annually for the fluoridation chemical. C. What types of Fluoride are used? a. Mouthrinse program - FDA-approved Sodium Fluoride mouthrinse is used. b. Fluoridation program - Currently, Hydrofluorosilicic Acid that is sourced from the Air Pollution Control System of a Phosphate Fertilizer Plant in North Carolina is added to the water supply.

Infants and young children receive proportionately much higher dosages than adults at a time when their bodies and minds are far more vulnerable. E. What is the effectiveness? a. Mouthrinse program - The MDPH states that “Weekly mouth rinsing with fluoride is safe, inexpensive, and effective, reducing tooth decay by 20%- 40%”. b.

Patricia L. Keeton, Chairperson Brenda A. Ljunggren Laurence J. Gannon Sandra E. Wright, Clerk

Four elections were conducted in 2018. The Annual Town Election was held on May l, State Primary on September 4, and both the State Election and a Special Town Election were held on November 6. Following is the percentage of voters who voted in each election. Annual Town Election May 1 21% State Primary September 4 17% Special Town Election November 6 66% November State Election November 6 68%

November 6 was the second time Early Voting was available to voters. Early voting is only available on State Elections. It was available for the Special Town Election on November 6 because it was held in conjunction with the State Election. It was very successful with 4,639 voters who voted early. Shrewsbury was reimbursed $6,728.93 from the State for extra costs incurred to meet requirements of Early Voting. We do not find a huge increase in voter turnout with Early Voting but we do find less congestion at the polls on election day. Total number of registered voters as of December 31, 2018 was 23,666. The Town passed a Debt Exclusion at the November 6 Special Town Election to purchase land and construct a new elementary school on property located at 214 Lake St. (formerly Glavin Property). The estimated project cost for this project is $92,831,833.00.

109 TOWN MANAGER

2018 was a year of many accomplishments and many changes. I am incredibly grateful for the leadership of the Board of Selectmen, the tireless work of every Town staff member, and for the support of the residents and taxpayers. This year I gained a deeper understanding of how Shrewsbury benefits from the passion and dedication of so many interested individuals and groups. I am fortunate to be in a position where I get to see all the parts that weave the ever-strengthening structure of this great community come together. I am pleased that the Office of the Town Manager continues to provide exceptional services, work products and support to residents, strategic partners and our colleagues across all Town departments. Like other aspects of the Town discussed below the Office of the Town Manager is repositioning itself to help ensure the Town can provide services to residents at the best value. Assistant Town Manager, Kristen Las, moved into an expanded role providing direct leadership to the Town’s departments that provide human and community development services to residents and taxpayers. Additionally, two new positions in the Office of the Town Manager were created in 2018. David Snowdon was promoted from Administrative Assistant to Management Analyst where he is focusing on financial management and to support business process innovation across all departments. Kristina Anderson was hired as Human Resources Coordinator which is the Town’s first position dedicated to the human resource function. Valerie Clemmey continued to provide professional and expanded services to the Office of the Town Manager in addition to the Board of Selectmen, as detailed in their report.

GRANTS MANAGEMENT Under the Board of Selectmen’s direction to continue to provide exceptional services without overburdening residents and taxpayers, the Office of the Town Manager has done an exceptional job in securing grant funding in 2018. The grants listed below enabled the Town to improve infrastructure, internal operations and services residents and taxpayers that if funded through the tax levy would have cost the average single family home $337.78 in additional taxes in 2018.

Grants - 2018 Strategic/Functional Area Amount Complete Streets Prioritization Infrastructure/Community Development $24,398 MassWorks Infrastructure/Economic Development $3,750,000 Centech North Market & Master Plan Study Economic Development $15,569.89 $302,000 Centech North Site Readiness Infrastructure/Economic Development MDI - Parking Study Community & Economic Development $15,000 Town Center & Beal Visioning Community & Economic Development $50,000 MA DEP - WTP Solar Infrastructure $200,000 Community Compact IT Security $110,000 Community Compact Financial Management $34,000 MA DEP - IQ-KIT Solid Waste Management $40,000 $4,540,968 110 REORGANIZATION With authorization of the Board of Selectmen and support of Town Meeting, a Department of Public Works (DPW) was created. The DPW includes the former Engineering, Water, Sewer, Highway, Public Buildings and Parks and Cemetery Departments along with the establishment of new Business Management Division which will provide financial management and other support internal support services to all the other aspects of the DPW. The goal of this new department is to gain efficiency and economies of scale through business operation standardization and allow subject matter experts within the divisions to focus on their mission of ensuring the quality of life of residents.

DRINKING WATER The new water treatment plant began servicing the Town in October of 2018. The plant utilizes a biological filter to remove the naturally mineral manganese from the groundwater as part of the process in making finished drinking water. Manganese has been the source of discolored water for many years and the commissioning of the treatment plant marks a major milestone in the history of the Water Department. While the commissioning of the plant did not immediately rid the entire system of manganese it nearly instantly eliminated the introduction of new manganese into the distribution system. This is the critical first step to improving water quality for all customers.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 2018 proved to be another exciting year under strong macroeconomic conditions. The Town celebrated the opening of several new businesses including several restaurants and retail/service establishments in Lakeway Commons. Among the opening of other establishments, a ribbon was cut at the grand opening of a state of the art ambulatory surgery center near the intersection of Main Street and I-290, the Columbia Gas Training Facility, and the Residence at Orchard Grove, ground was broken for a new medical facility in Fairlawn Plaza and planning activities continued for permitting a roadway at Centech Park North through use of MassDevelopment Site Readiness funds and the redevelopment of the former Edgemere Drive-In. Along with infrastructure improvements detailed below, the Town continued to focus on the commercial development opportunities along the Route 20 Corridor. Under the leadership of Representative Hannah Kane, Town Staff worked in partnership with MassDOT on master planning activities for Route 20. These activities target the sustainability of the vital highway by identifying safety improvements and traffic efficiency measures to ensure current needs and future development pressures are properly addressed. Additionally, Assistant Town Manager Las authored a MassWorks Grant for traffic improvements at the intersection of Lake Street and Route 20. Her grant application was approved and the Town was awarded $3,750,000 to design and construct the improvements in partnership with the Edgemere Drive-In redevelopment project.

111 BEAL EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER BUILDING PROJECT Under the leadership of the Beal Early Childhood Center Building Committee, significant progress was made this year on the planning and design of the new elementary school, which will be built to accommodate 800 students. Town Meeting authorized the submission of Special Legislation to purchase land at 214 Lake Street, the former Irving A. Glavin Regional Center, from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Representative Hannah Kane and Senator Michael Moore championed this legislation which lead to Governor Charles Baker signing the bill into law in July. With the submission of both Preliminary Design Package in the Spring and the Schematic Design in the Fall, the Massachusetts School Building Authority awarded the Town a grant of $34,055,681 to help offset the $92,810,000 estimated project cost. At a Special Town Meeting in late October, the Town’s legislative body authorized a borrowing for the project which was excluded from the provisions of Proposition 2 ½ by the voters through a ballot question at the November 6, 2018 election. These noteworthy accomplishments in 2018 put the project on pace to open to new students in the fall of 2021. In addition to focusing on the Beal School building project, the Board of Selectmen appointed a Beal Reuse Committee to oversee the process of the reuse of the existing property at 1-7 Maple Avenue. This Committee met over the course of the year to discuss potential uses for the property. Additionally, the Town of Shrewsbury received a grant in the amount of $50,000 to study potential reuses of the property, in addition to understanding the Town’s vision for the Town Center. Through a variety of public meetings and surveys, the Town worked with a consulting firm to develop a plan to move forward. The plan will be available in early 2019 and the Beal Reuse Committee will use the document to inform their recommendations to the Board of Selectmen on the reuse of the property.

ROUTE 20 SEWER INITIATIVE The pursuit to enhance economic development opportunities along Route 20 continued in 2018 with much success. The Board of Selectmen executed an Intermunicipal Agreement with the City of Worcester that permits the conveyance of wastewater through the City’s infrastructure for 20 years. This agreement enables the development of new sewer mains and related pump stations in and along Route 20. Town Meeting funded $6,500,000 for sewer improvements from Lake Street westward to the Worcester city line. A special thanks to Representative Kane for sponsoring an amendment to the State’s Economic Development Bond bill, which was supported by Senator Moore, that would provide $300,000 in state funding to offset the Town’s costs for this initiative.

RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA Recreational Marijuana was a significant topic of discussion for the Town in 2018. The Office of the Town Manager provided support to the Board of Selectmen during their public hearing process on this topic which ultimately led to a Special Town Meeting being held April 23, 2018. Town Meeting voted to regulate, rather than ban, recreational marijuana establishments through the Zoning Bylaw limiting the

112 total number of retail establishments to two. Additionally, revisions were made to the Zoning Bylaw pertaining to the establishment of medical marijuana facilities. With bylaws promulgated the Office of the Town Manager fielded requests and calls from a large number of interested businesses. The Board of Selectmen moved quickly to establish a process for interested parties that resulted in a public process where two establishments negotiated and signed Host Community Agreements to operate within the Town.

GREEN COMMUNITIES DESIGNATION After Town Meeting’s authorization to adopt the Stretch Energy Code through Article 3 of the September 6, 2017, the Office of the Town Manager worked with the Board of Selectmen to adopt a Fuel Efficient Vehicle Policy and Energy Reduction Plan for town operations. This work led to the Town’s application for designation as a Green Community in October of 2018. The Town was officially designated as Green Community on December 27, 2018. The Town will pursue a grant in early 2019 to secure funding and work towards meeting the goals identified in the Energy Reduction Plan.

CONCLUSION I am proud of the remarkable accomplishments of this Office and of all the accomplishments of Town employees in 2018. Behind the scenes we worked diligently to find cost savings through improved business processes while being as transparent as possible. We will be dedicated to continual improvement and higher levels of community engage in 2019 and beyond. Thank you for the opportunity to serve the residents and taxpayers of Shrewsbury.

113 BOARD OF ASSESSORS

Christopher R. Reidy, MAA, Chairman Todd E. Brodeur Frank B. Stille

The Assessors are charged with ensuring full and fair valuation of all of the town’s public and privately owned property. The department consists of a three member Board of Assessors including a full time Chairman/Principal Assessor. The office is staffed by Ms. Helen Townsend, Mr. Cuong Tran and Ms. Karen Berger. Property values are adjusted each year to track the changes in the market. The overall changes in value also include new construction, additions and new personal property accounts. Residential property values are the largest portion of real estate value in the town at 87.19% essentially the same as FY 2018. The total town real estate valuation grew by 4.8% with residential valuation growing by 4.8% and commercial growing by 6.8%. Much of the commercial change was due to new construction. New tax growth in all classes was $1,597,448 on a value of $126,180,790 versus the FY 2018 growth of $101,313,760. The Lakeside Commons represented a large portion of the growth. Ongoing cyclical inspections and thorough review of sales should augment the new growth values. The tax rate declined due to the difference between the increase in the amount of the town’s levy of $2,976,569, 4.04%, and the overall increase in valuation of 4.8%. The tax rate dropped from $12.66 to $12.57 per thousand dollars of valuation as a result of the overall increase in values. This illustrates the fact that the tax rate is a simple formula which uses two basic figures, the total tax levy, which is the amount of the budget to be raised by taxation, and the total value of the town; then divided by 1,000.

R (rate) = L (levy) / V (total value). R = ($76,610,941/ $6,094,744,710) / $1,000 = $0.01257 The tax rate is $12.57 per thousand dollars of value.

The major variable in this equation is the tax levy. The higher the tax levy, the higher the taxes. It is the spending and not the value that determines what one will pay in taxes. The assessed value is a historical mechanism that allows the levy to be distributed fairly among all the taxpayers. The town is required to appraise property within very strict guidelines issued by the Department of Revenue (DOR). The values were certified during the DOR triennial certification cycle of FY 2017. The adjustment of values follows the requirements of the DOR and reflects 100% fair market value. One less publicly known requirement of the DOR is that prior calendar year sales are used to set values. The current assessed values are based on sales from 2017. Due to this, the assessed values will tend to be lower than the 2018 sales prices. Generally, in a rising market the assessed values will trend lower than sales prices. Similarly, in a declining market, the assessed values will trend higher than sales prices. 114 The list below summarizes the exemptions given to town property owners for the identified reasons. These are allowed by State law and are designed to ease the tax burden on property owners of particular categories.

Exemption Elderly Count Amount 17D Surviving Spouse, Elderly, Minor 14 $2,100 22 Veteran 10% Disabled 114 $45,600 22A Veteran Loss Foot, Hand, Eye 1 $750 22C Veteran Specially Adapted Housing 1 $1,500 22D Veteran Quemoy Matsu 2 $8,831 22E Veteran 100% Disability 42 $42,000 22EE Manual 1 $500 22F Paraplegic 1 $7,657 37 Blind 23 $10,063 41C Elderly 50 $46,500 42 Surviving Spouse of KITLOD 1 $3,688

116 DEPARTMENT OF THE BUILDING INSPECTOR

Patricia A. Sheehan, Inspector of Buildings Alexander Moriarty, Assistant Building Inspector

The office of the Building Inspector is responsible for the enforcement of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts State Building Code and the Town of Shrewsbury Zoning Bylaw. Together, these codes regulate the construction and occupancy of buildings and structures and control the use, location and density of land and buildings within the Town of Shrewsbury. In addition to the aforementioned functions, this office performs all clerical duties required of the Zoning Board of Appeals including the preparation of all notices, minutes of public hearings and the decisions of the board. This department also issues plumbing and gas fitting permits, as well as sheet metal permits, and manages the inspection program for these permits.

BUILDING During 2018, a total of 1084 building permits were issued for various types of construction activities including the erection of new buildings, additions and alterations to existing structures and the installation of signs, swimming pools, wood and pellet stoves and accessory structures. The valuation of all construction work under permit during this period totaled $51,024,610. With respect to residential growth, permits were issued for the construction of 24 new single-family homes and 10 two-family dwellings. Commercial permits were issued for the following new tenants at Lakeway Commons 193 Boston Turnpike: Jenny Boston, Lash Lounge, Massage Envy, Skin MD, Lux Group, Club Pilates, and Cherry Blow Dry Bar. Also, commercial permits were issued for a new physical therapy business at 151 Main Street as well as a new building for Reliant Medical Group at 378 Maple Ave. The Certificates of Occupancy were issued for the CVS at 720 Boston Turnpike, Garages 5 and 6 at Quinn 35, building five of the multifamily apartment buildings at Quinn 35. The Building Inspector’s Office experienced several employee changes in 2018. Administrative Assistant, Kelly Leahy, transitioned to the Fire Department and Kristen Rupolo joined the building inspector office staff in her place. Chris Lund left the Assistant Building Inspector position in October 2017 after one and a half years. This vacancy presented a significant challenge to an already short-staffed department. Alexander Moriarty was hired as a full time Assistant Building Inspector in April of 2018. Tom Reardon, part time Assistant Building Inspector, joined the staff in 2017 and continues to work three mornings each week. Municipal Code Consulting, LLC continues to provide inspection services as needed as well as selective permit review. The Building Inspector’s Office has a dedicated volunteer, Barbara Bertelli,who has provided 191 hours of service and scanned 6,852 large drawing in an effort to address the building/health office space issue. This has been a significant improvement in the ability to access permit information efficiently. 117 Early in 2017, it was determined that a new permit system would be implemented in the Town of Shrewsbury. On September 7, 2017 the ViewPoint Cloud permit system went into effect. The Building Inspector Department staff, along with the IT staff, and all other departments that interact with building permits were affected by the new workflow developed in the permit system. The first online permit system was implemented September 7, 2011. Administrative Assistants, Kerry Stockwell and Kristen Rupolo consistently provided support to all users of the permit system with all the transitions to the online permit system that have taken place since 2011.

SHEET METAL Per MGL 112, 237-251 and sheet metal regulations 271 CMR, the Division of Professional Licensure Board of Examiners of Sheet Metal Workers, required all Massachusetts cities and towns to issue sheet metal permits as of 2011. In 2018 70 sheet metal / mechanical permits were issued.

PLUMBING AND GAS As of July 14, 2014 Mr. Joseph Reilly joined the Building Inspector’s Department as the full time assistant Plumbing & Gas Inspector while Mr. David Lyons remained in his role as the part time head Plumbing & Gas Inspector. In accordance with the May 2017 Town Meeting, Joseph Reilly transitioned to the full time head Plumbing & Gas Inspector and David Lyons is the part time assistant Plumbing & Gas Inspector. Together, these gentlemen perform the inspection and enforcement duties required by the Massachusetts State Fuel Gas and Plumbing Code. There were 665 plumbing and 664 gas fitting permits issued this year.

ELECTRICAL PROGRAM TRANSITION FROM SELCO TO THE BUILDING INSPECTOR At the October 22, 2018 special town meeting, the full time wiring inspector position was created. A transition process was put in place for the electrical inspection permit and inspection program to be developed under the building inspector.

121 CONSERVATION COMMISSION

John J. Ostrosky, Chairman Robert P. Jacques, Vice Chairman Kenneth F. Polito, Clerk Martha Gach Jason J. Port

The primary function of the Conservation Commission is to preserve and protect the local wetland resource areas, as defined in the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act. Since Colonial times, Massachusetts has lost nearly one third of its wetlands. The loss of wetlands means the loss of the important benefits they provide. This includes the protection of water quality and water supplies, stormwater and flood damage prevention, and the protection of wildlife and plant habitat. Our goal is to protect the community’s natural resources for present and future generations. The Conservation Commission is composed of appointed town officials who serve as unpaid volunteers. The Commission meets on the third Tuesday of each month for the conduct of regular business and for public hearings. When necessary, meetings may be scheduled on alternate dates. This year twelve regular meetings were held. There were 37 projects filed with the Conservation Commission in 2018. Many of the projects involved the construction of residential subdivisions, commercial buildings, single-family homes, home additions, tree removal and swimming pools as listed below: • Elizabeth Van Atten – Removal of trees along with cutting and mulching brush and invasive growth at 114 Grafton Street • Peter Philips – Reconstruction of a one story house, sewer and electric utilities and an underground propane tank at 23 Forest Avenue • St. John’s High School – Improvements to High School athletic fields including replacement of existing turf-grass, provision of emergency vehicle access pathway, grading and providing ADA-Compliant connection between fields and parking area at 315-347 Main Street • Joseph and Karen Walsh – Removal of an existing deck and construction of a new deck at 34 Rockwell Drive • Mark Peris – Construction of a single family house and site work at 27 Crimson Drive • Syed Khan and Mohammed Siddiqui – Construction of a new single family home, septic system, grading and associated site work at 764 Grafton Street • Town of Shrewsbury Engineering Department – Construction of drainage utilities and wetlands replication area at 116 Boylston Circle and 173 Boylston Street • Atul Deshpande – Removal of a deck and construction of an addition at 10 Arrowwood Drive • Paul Bergevin – Demolition of an existing house and construction of a new single family home, driveway, grading and associated site work at 38 Brooklawn Parkway

123 The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the State Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) have standards in place that regulate stormwater utilities. EPA’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Regulations require the Town to obtain permit coverage for stormwater discharges. These discharges come primarily from building roofs, parking lots, and roadways. EPA issues their NPDES permits on a five-year cycle. EPA issued a new General Permit in 2016 that was supposed to become effective July 1, 2017. EPA has since delayed the effective date until July 1, 2018. Some of the new requirements are: • Develop a map of the entire storm sewer system (the last permit required mapping of discharge points only). • Perform a more extensive search for non-stormwater connections to the storm sewer system that may contain pollutants. • Outfall sampling monitoring and sampling. • Develop a plan to reduce the amount of pollutants discharged into EPA designated impaired water bodies. • Develop a Phosphorus Control Plan to reduce the amount of phosphorus being discharged from the Town’s storm sewers.

The state government has also been active in trying to protect Massachusetts waters from stormwater degradation, as DEP revised the state Wetlands Protection Act regulations in May of 2008 that require the following summarized stormwater management standards: 1. No new stormwater conveyances may discharge untreated stormwater directly to or cause erosion in wetlands or waters. 2. Stormwater discharge rates for developments shall not exceed the pre- development rates to minimize flooding. 3. Loss of annual recharge to groundwater shall be eliminated or minimized for developments through the use of infiltration measures. 4. Stormwater systems shall be designed to remove 80% of the Total Suspended Solids that are present in the stormwater runoff. 5. Land uses with higher potential pollutant loads shall eliminate or reduce the stormwater runoff from such land uses. 6. Stormwater discharges to critical areas such as Public Water Supplies, Outstanding Resource Waters or Special Resource Waters shall be treated to control or eliminate pollution. In some cases discharges are prohibited. 7. Redevelopment projects are required to meet all of the above to the maximum extent practicable. 8. Pollution prevention plans shall be developed and implemented during construction and land disturbance projects. 9. Long-term operation and maintenance plans to ensure that stormwater management systems function as designed. 10. All illicit discharges to the stormwater management system are prohibited.

124 The NPDES program and stormwater regulations within the Wetlands Protection Act are designed to protect our natural resources, including Lake Quinsigamond and the Town’s drinking water supply wells, from contaminated stormwater. Stormwater may contain high levels of pollutants, such as suspended solids, nutrients, heavy metals, pathogens and toxins. Stormwater pollution accelerates the eutrophication process in many lakes and ponds. Eutrophication results in heavy weed growth and thereby jeopardizes wildlife habitat and recreational uses. The Conservation Commission and the Town Engineering Department are working together to improve stormwater quality. Since 1997 the Conservation Commission has required new subdivision and commercial projects to meet the Massachusetts Stormwater Management Policy. That policy was updated and has now become a regulation in 2008 under the Wetlands Protection Act, giving the Conservation Commission the ability to better control pollution and protect water supplies. The Town is continuing to build the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) program that will have the ability to create maps of the drainage utilities in town and comply with the NPDES permit requirements. With the aid of GIS we will have a greater awareness of the location of storm water discharges and what impacts it may have on the environment, as well as the ability to respond quickly in the event of a waste spill or another related emergency. The last NPDES Phase II permit also required the Town to adopt a Stormwater Management Bylaw prior to the permit expiration in March of 2008. Town Meeting members passed a Stormwater Management Bylaw in May of 2007 to grant the Town the legal ability to prohibit illicit connections and discharges to the stormwater utilities in accordance with the NPDES permit. Additionally, the bylaw regulates development projects that will disturb 5,000 square feet or more of land. The Town Board of Sewer Commissioners will be responsible for enforcing the bylaw and may develop rules, regulations, and permitting procedures for compliance. Although the stormwater regulations will benefit the community by improving the quality of our water resources, the Town anticipates incurring significant costs in order to comply with the EPA mandate. The Town currently spends approximately $280,000 per year for the stormwater program. The Town expects the new permit requirements to incur additional costs of about $1.75 million per year. Some of those costs include Fall street sweeping ($400,000/year) and inspection of structures ($250,000/year). With little federal or state aid availability, Shrewsbury is currently exploring the creation of a stormwater utility fee. Similar to charging a fee for public water and sanitary sewer service, the Town would bill property owners for the use of public storm sewers. The Town is in the final stages of setting the rates and anticipates the utility will be implemented in 2019. The anticipated costs would likely be a small percentage of what ratepayers are typically charged for water & sanitary sewer utilities. To help defray some of the anticipated costs, the Town took part in a regionalized stormwater group of 13 communities in Central Massachusetts that received a $310,000 grant award from the state’s Community Innovation Challenge (CIC) Grant Program in 2012. The group formed the Central Massachusetts Regional Stormwater Coalition (CMRSWC). In 2013, the group received another CIC Grant of $115,000 to expand the program, and the 125 coalition now consists of 30 area communities. The grant helped develop some standardized operational procedures, as well as purchase shared equipment for stormwater infrastructure mapping. Each of the 30 communities also contributed $2,833 from their own sources to bring the program budget to $200,000 for 2013. In 2014, the group received a Grant of $80,000; and each town contributed $4,000 to bring the budget again to $200,000. The Grant is no longer available, and in 2018 each town continued to contribute $4,000 towards the coalition’s efforts. Shrewsbury’s funding came from a prior year warrant article for stormwater.

The Town of Shrewsbury’s Council On Aging NEW Mission created during 2017: To Advocate for and develop programs and services that enhance the well- being and quality of life, and create a welcoming, secure and inclusive community for seniors.

Overview of the Department and Demographics: The Council on Aging (COA) is a human service department which serves Shrewsbury seniors and oversees the Senior Center, located in its facility at 98 Maple Avenue. The COA Board is overseen by the Town Manager, who appoints seven volunteers to act in an advisory role. 8,428 of Shrewsbury’s residents will be age 60 or older during Fiscal Year 2019 (FY19), which began on July 1, 2018 and will run through June 30, 2019. The “Boomer” seniors continue to have a large influence on statistics in aging nationwide. “Baby Boomers” were born between the years of 1946 through 1964. The bulk of the Boomers are now seniors, with only 6 out of the 18 years in this cohort remaining that are still under 60. For Shrewsbury, the increase in the number of senior residents is as follows:

Fiscal Year Women Over 60 Men Over 60 Total Seniors FY19 4578 3850 8428 FY18 4544 3825 8369 FY17 4402 3621 8023 FY16 4311 3505 7816

127 FY15 4261 3411 7672 By comparison, below is the senior population in 2008, a decade ago, a year after “Baby Boomers” began turning 60: FY08 3661 2811 6472

During 2018, the department closely studied the remaining Baby Boomer age groups as well as those residents in town who are now 50 and older. This will be discussed further in the Survey and Strategic Planning section. Highlights of 2018 in the service areas of: Outreach, Transportation and Volunteerism Outreach: The purpose of the COA’s Outreach program is to assist senior residents in town who are in need of referrals, guidance, or need temporary case work during the time of a crisis, which can be as serious as homelessness or elder abuse and neglect. Shrewsbury’s Outreach Coordinator, Walter Rice, a licensed Social Worker, also assists non-seniors, such as adult children, other concerned relatives or neighbors who are seeking assistance for a senior. Such individuals may or may not live in Shrewsbury. Some live in Shrewsbury but the senior they are seeking help for does not, which can create a challenge for making referrals to the proper agencies or services. The services offered through Outreach in FY18 amounted to 798 counts of service over the course of the fiscal year, an increase of 50% over FY17’s 522 counts of service. This was made up of information and referral, home visits, one on one assistance and Mindful Meditation classes, which are helpful for managing the unique stress and life challenges aging can present. Services also included filing 132 applications and re-certifications for Fuel Assistance, Share the Warmth and other programs, this also increased over last years 119 applications filed. The town’s TRIAD continues to be where many of the referrals originate. The TRIAD “Town Resource Information And Dedication” continued their weekly meetings, made up of COA representative Walter Rice, Police Department Representatives Officer Scott Mentzer and Animal Control Officer Leona Pease, Fire Department representative Captain Aaron Roy, UMASS Emergency Management Services (EMS) representative Michael Hunter and Regional Health Department representative Phil Leger. Other attendees that frequently join the TRIAD meetings include Shrewsbury Youth and Family Services, Elder Services of Worcester, Inc and the Shrewsbury Housing Authority. 2018 also marked the sixth year of The Community Outreach Partnership under the TRIAD. This Partnership meets quarterly and reaches out further to multiple aspects of the community to additional town departments, local agencies, places of worship and other community resources regarding concerns for healthy aging. It was through the Partnership that the COA decided to focus on becoming a “Dementia Friendly” community. Throughout 2018, the focus on Dementia Friendly activities continued, including the showing of “Alzheimer’s: Every Minute Counts” at the Shrewsbury Public Library in June sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Association and the Greater Worcester Alzheimer’s Partnership. Activities also 128 included the formation of a Dementia Friendly Action Team and the development of a brochure for emergency personnel to give to concerned parties when a loved one with dementia is in crisis. An additional Memory Cafe in Shrewsbury began also. This and other Dementia Friendly efforts will be reviewed later this report. A few Outreach trends that continued in 2018 was of the growth of “walk-ins” and more in-depth phone and computer work. Outreach received 1,430 calls throughout FY18, with nearly 100 of these lasting five minutes are more, constituting a “phone appointment”. When the new fiscal year began in July, Walter began tracking “e-mail only correspondence” as he began to see more communication exclusively through e-mail as computer literacy in the senior population continues to rise and more people in general take advantage of the convenience e-mail can offer, especially to those still working or out of state. Through FY18, 94 contacts were e-mail exclusive. Of the 375 appointments Walter had during FY18, over 64% were not scheduled. This continues to be a trend which began last year in FY17 when a 20% increase over what was seen in FY16 occured. This may reflect expectations that a social worker is available at all times during Senior Center business hours. Despite these new trends, the total number of Outreach calls was still up 11%.

Transportation: The COA’s transportation program continues to be an extremely busy one. The COA currently operates two paratransit van through the Worcester Regional Transit Authority (RTA) as well as an additional van that is operated independently through the COA. For riders who qualify for service under the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), trips that the COA cannot provide are brokered out to Paratransit Brokered Services, Inc (PBSI). Operating expenses for the independent van come through a COA revolving account, which is renewed via vote at each Annual Town Meeting. This account takes in the fares collected from that vehicle, funds donated through the Shrewsbury Housing Authority, grants and other donations. In 2018, the COA once again applied for and received matching grant funds through the Department of Transportation (DOT) to better help with operation funding for the town owned vehicle. Since it was determined in 2016 that adding an additional van from the RTA or another source will likely be needed to meet continuing demand for transportation, the COA also applied for a replacement van which will also the current town own van to become a 4th van. The grant was awarded and the new van should arrive in 2019. The COA has provided over 10,065 rides for residents to and from their homes to over 60 individual destinations in town as well Worcester, Westboro and Northboro, with over 68,000 miles driven to do so. Over 34% of the rides were given to residents under the age of 60 who have a disability who are eligible to utilize the paratransit service to get to and from work or medical appointments. This was an increase of nearly 10% of last year’s figure for riders with a disability. 704 trips were for wheelchair users. In July, the RTA instituted a fare increase for the paratransit vans. The Shrewsbury Housing Authority is reviewing the possibility of increasing the subsidy they provide to SHA residents who ride the van. The RTA continues to strive to make the transportation system the most affordable option for those who rely on public transportation to stay independent. 129 Volunteerism The COA’s Volunteer Program experienced another year of tremendous value to the community. The program is overseen by the Volunteer Coordinator, who is funded through the COA’s state Formula Allocation. The value of the COA volunteer work has nearly quadrupled since the position was re-established in FY09 after funding cuts during the 2008 financial crisis. The value of the COA volunteers has reached a whopping $1,047,451.25. As noted in the chart below, the number of volunteers has increased while the hour has slightly decreased. The dollar value difference is primarily due to two factors in 2017. One is the number of volunteers doing more hours of professional levels of work. Many Boomers who are volunteering have skill sets not seen in previous generations of volunteers. The values used to create these figures reflect the increase in minimum wage that occurred during the year. These are obtained from various volunteer-based foundations, which publicize data for organizations to use for comparative data, which to keep the figures as accurate as possible.

Fiscal Number of Cumulative Dollar Value of COA Town Line Year Volunteers Hours Hours Worked Item: FY18 293 35,507.25 $1,047,451.25 $263,587.00 FY17 293 35,507.25 $1,047,451.25 $263,587.00 FY16 267 37,026.25 $778,099.50 $219,802.00 FY15 294 34,546.75 $673,920.75 $215,704.00 FY14 297 32,718.75 $608,718.75 $187,178.00 FY13 288 31,013.25 $561,918.50 $197,496.00

Each year, the dollar value of volunteer hours have been nearly triple the COA budget line item from the town, even with the departmental line increase in FY17. The department continues to be proud and grateful for the committed volunteers that contribute their time and talents to the COA each year. Given that the million dollar figure that has been reached this year, the theme for recognizing the COA volunteers in 2018 was “Thanks A Million!”

State Funding: The COA continues to be grateful to receive state funding through a Formula Allocation from the Executive Office of Elder Affairs. Every year, a dollar amount is given to each Council on Aging throughout the Commonwealth based on the senior population of last Federal census. In 2010, that figure was 6,588 seniors. Last year, legislators wrestled with difficult choices to balance the budget and COAs were initially facing a reduction of $10 per senior (received in FY17) down to $9.80. To make up for the cut received, the figure was adjusted to $12 per senior for FY19, which began being funded in July. The COA would like to publicly thank Senator Michael Moore and Representative Hannah Kane for their ongoing advocacy to keep the funding allocation adequate to meet the needs of the community. For FY18 the COA received a total of $64,562.40 from the state Formula Allocation. How these funds are being spent is broken down as follows:

130 Item: Details: Amount: 2 Office Support Coordinators Each works 18 hours week $34,706.88 Volunteer Coordinator Works 18 hours per week $19,309.68 Transportation Software Lease (Partial funds) $6,300.00 Continue with Strategic Planning efforts through Office Supplies Supplements town budget $1,087.44 State Conferences For staff and Board Members $1,200.00 Volunteer Recognition Volunteer recognition and training $1,300.00

Friends of the Shrewsbury Senior Center, Inc. The Friends of the Shrewsbury Senior Center, Inc. is a non-profit 501 (C) 3 charitable organization that raises funds for the Senior Center and the needs of seniors. The Friends applies for grants and does fundraising that the COA, as a governmental department, cannot do. As they have in previous years, the Friends collaborated with the COA to fund performances to be put on at the Senior Center that otherwise would have been difficult to fund. Likewise, watching quality performers right at the Senior Center makes the arts easily accessible to some seniors who otherwise may not be able to travel outside the community to attend performances elsewhere nor find them affordable. The Friends have continued to sponsor monthly entertaining and educational programs which play an important role in allowing socialization opportunities to residents. Both the COA and the Friends continue to be grateful to the Shrewsbury Cultural Arts Council for their generous support. The Friends continue to look for new and fun ways to bring in not only funds to the Senior Center, but volunteers, programs and ideas to benefit the senior community. A second annual “Pin Up Pet Calendar” was sold in the fall. During the summer, Newsletter readers were solicited for pictures of their pets to make another full color, quality calendar for sale. The result was a fun and beautiful calendar featuring the pets of many of the town’s seniors or their family members. The Friends also continue to assist with the publishing of the COA newsletter, handing the sponsorship of the advertisers to making the mailing of the Newsletter possible. Due to the growing senior population in town, the cost is now over $1200 per month to mail to every senior household. The continued support of the advertisers and generous donations from seniors has made the newsletter account sustainable. Many people also continue to take advantage of the electronic version of the Newsletter on the Town’s Website as well as the Senior Center Facebook Page. It is hoped that the number of people receiving the publication electronically will be increased in the coming year. The Senior Edition newsletter remains the primary communication for the department. The Friends also updated their brochures which contain a membership form within them. The COA updated their brochures at the same time, providing new and attractive publicity materials that were available to hand out at public events, like the Farmer’s Market and the annual Shrewsbury Fall Festival. During the 2018 Farmer’s Market season, the Senior Center parking lot again served as the

131 Town’s Farmer’s Market location and the COA sponsored the Market along with SELCO and Parks Department. The Friends were able to increase their visibility by participating in the market and having brochures available to the public to learn more about their fundraising efforts to support the senior community. In regard to programs, the Friends again helped host the Lion’s Club Vision Mobile at the Senior Center along with a mini Health Fair during Spirit of Shrewsbury. They also are helping the COA contribute to the programming expenses of the Memory Lane Memory Cafe that began in October. The Friends look forward to working with the COA in 2018 on additional fundraising efforts and helping to support the new goals as will be outlined in the forthcoming COA Strategic Plan.

2018 HIGHLIGHTS Memory Lane Memory Cafe Established: As part of the efforts to become a Dementia Friendly Community, licensed social worker Merrie Gerber worked to create the Memory Lane Café at the Senior Center two Fridays per month to compliment the Memory Café held at the Shrewsbury Library on the opposite Fridays. This allows people with dementia and their carepartners to be able to attend a Memory Café in town each week. Activities at the Memory Lane Café include a socialization period, followed by lunch and a craft or program. The program began in October and is expected to grow throughout 2019. The Friends are contributing toward program expenses to help make this important program a success.. Collaborative programs and services: Several annual programs and services occurred throughout 2017 to assist and serve town residents, such as Tax Assistance (AARP), Tribute Tea (Shrewsbury Parade Committee), Flu Shots (Walgreens) and the Prescription Take Back Program (Shrewsbury Health and Police Departments) Donations: Blue Moon Financial (affiliated with the Residence at Orchard Grove senior living community) and new-to-Shrewsbury bank, UniBank, each donated $1,000 to the Senior Center Gift Account during the year. UniBank held a contest to benefit six different Shrewsbury departments and charities. The COA received a $1,000 donation after coming in third place. The COA thanks UniBank for including the department in this fun contest and appreciated both UniBank and Blue Moon Financial for their generosity. Tax Work Off Program Benefit: Last year, the Tax Work Off Program had a 50% credit increase from $500 to $750 for participants. Participants continued to work in the program during 2018, which is beneficial to the Town and the participants. (Due to state regulations, these hours of service are not counted in the Volunteer Hour total, making the volunteer contributions that much more impressive!) Strategic Planning: As mentioned in previous reports, the COA Board began the Self Assessment process in 2015 and spent 2016 addressing many of the issues brought up during that process. In 2017, the COA Board brought on consultant Kathleen Myers, who had assisted the Town of Framingham’s COA Department

132 with their Strategic Planning, Marketing Plan and subsequent Accreditation from the National Institute of Senior Centers (NISC). As seen at the beginning of the report, the COA developed a new Mission Statement last year to better summarize what the department has been doing as of late. The COA’s new mission statement continued to be publicized throughout 2018. The Strategic Planning work and NISC accreditation activities laid the groundwork for the new five year strategic plan which will cover fiscal years 2019-2023. Over the next five years, the COA Board and staff look forward to ensuring that visitors and participants feel welcome at the center and enjoy the expanded availability of programs, activities and services that meet their needs and interests. With guidance from the Central MA Agency on Aging (CMAA) and a grant from the Massachusetts Council on Aging (MCOA), the COA was able to send out 1000 surveys to a scientific sample of Shrewsbury residents age 50 and over. The surveys were sent out in June and were returned and tallied in the fall. Data from the survey will provide valuable input toward the Strategic Plan. During that time frame, the COA plans to increase its efforts to partner with like- minded organizations on engaging programs such as the Dementia Friendly Shrewsbury initiative as explained in the Outreach portion of this report. Both staff and Board members continued to work on the Strategic Plan throughout 2018 with the consultant as well as with guidance from Assistant Town Manager Krisen Las.

LOOKING AHEAD IN 2019 As the Senior Center enters its 19th year of service, the town can look forward to the finalization and publicity of the COA’s Five year Strategic Plan. It is hoped this will encourage more town-wide resources and involvement in the COA’s efforts to best serve the robust community of Shrewsbury.

CULTURAL COUNCIL BACKGROUND The Shrewsbury Cultural Council (“SCC”) receives funds from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, which allots a specific percentage annually to all Local Cultural Councils throughout the state using funding generated in part by State Lottery Commission revenues. SCC members are appointed by the Board of Selectmen for three-year terms and may serve up to two terms. The SCC can have as many as 22 members. Anyone interested in serving on the SCC, please contact the Selectmen’s Office. Each year the SCC typically processes approximately thirty five grant applications ranging from traditional performance grants to field trip grants (previously called “PASS grants”). Cultural Council members can provide guidance to applicants going through the application process. The deadline for grant applications is typically October 15th or the following business day. All applications were accepted online this year complying with the state requirements. All approved grants are filed along with our timely completion of the annual state report. The SCC maintains a log of all approved applications by fiscal year and grant awards online at mass-culture.org/Shrewsbury and massachusettsculturalcouncil.org.

CULTURAL COUNCIL APPROVED GRANTS IN NOVEMBER 2018 The SCC received 35 applications online from groups and individuals totaling $23,373.

135 SHREWSBURY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

The Shrewsbury Development Corporation, consisting of seven members appointed by the Board of Selectmen for five-year terms, continues to promote economic development and to develop the former Allen Farm parcel, now marketed as CenTech Park North. In 2018, Pat Convery, P.E., Lisa Cossette, David Donahue, Julie Holstrom, Dina Nichols, Richard Ricker, Esq. and Stephen Walsh served on the SDC board. At the Annual Meeting in November, Richard Ricker was named President, Dina Nichols was named Treasurer and Lisa Cossette was named Clerk. Our goal remains to bring about development that preserves CenTech Park North in the commercial/industrial tax base thus providing economic benefit to the town, provide additional high-paying jobs for our citizens, and facilitate development that respects the interests of adjacent landowners. There has been some interest in the property, though the market for development of industrial and commercial sites continues to be very slow. Vacant buildings of a variety of sizes and locations exist in the metro west area and continue to be available at attractive lease or purchase costs making land development less attractive. SDC efforts to attract development have continued and there was minor interest in the property for senior rental housing, warehousing, and marijuana uses. Notable changes in the market include increased availability of manufacturing spaces and the desire for longer, smaller buildings, approximately 15,000-25,000 square feet in area with ample area for loading and maneuverability. In January, CenTech Park North was identified by The Beal Early Childhood Center Building Committee as one of now three potential sites for a new K-4 Elementary School. The architect, Lamoureau Pagano, provided additional analysis of CenTech Park North including updated wetlands delineation. In February, the Town of Shrewsbury was one of twelve communities awarded funding through the MassDevelopment program for the survey, design and permitting of the North Road subdivision associated with CenTech Park North. The Town was awarded $302,000 for this work which was put out for bid. Bohler Engineering was awarded the contract for engineering the North Road. The SDC applied for an additional 121 hours of technical assistance from Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission (CMRPC) through their District Local Technical Assistance (DLTA) Program to update the 2008 Market Study and create a new Master Plan for CenTech Park North. In March, the Town of Shrewsbury was awarded the grant from CMRPC. In April, the Beal Early Childhood Center Building Committee voted to remove CenTech Park North (aka Allen Farm) as a potential site for a new K-4 Elementary School. In May, the SDC kicked off the Master Plan project with CMRPC. In June, Kristen Las spoke at the 495/MetroWest Priority Development Event to increase awareness of CenTech Park North with other EDICs and to share her

136 experience with MassDevelopment Site Readiness and District Local Technical Assistance grants from CMRPC. In September, the SDC met with Bohler Engineering, CMRPC, MassDevelopment, and Colliers International to coordinate efforts in preparation for the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) filing for the entire CenTech Park North site and local permitting for the North Road. The SDC reviewed the updated plot survey and proposed boring plan from Bohler Engineering for construction of the North Road. Site design and storm water management challenges due to significant topographic relief, high groundwater, and poor drainage soils were discussed. Approximate roadway locations, storm water management areas, and development pads were reviewed for the MEPA filing. In October, the SDC met again with Bohler Engineering, CMRPC, MassDevelopment, and Colliers International in preparation of a meeting with the Board of Selectmen to seek approval for the upcoming MEPA filing. In November, the SDC and the Board of Selectmen reviewed, approved and submitted the Environmental Notification Form (ENF) as part of the MEPA filing which includes a reduction in the maximum square footage for the site from 600,000 square feet to 450,000 square feet due to wetland and topographic constraints. Dina Nichols attended the November CMRPC Economic Development Commission gathering. In December, Kristen Las, Dina Nichols, and Bohler Engineering hosted a MEPA site visit on the property as part of the MEPA review process. The Preliminary Subdivision Plan for the North Roadway at CenTech Park North was submitted to the Planning Board. CMRPC launched a new website for CenTech North. The SDC meetings are open to the public and guests or interested parties are welcome to attend.

137 SELCO (Shrewsbury Electric and Cable Operations)

Commissioners Robert Holland, Chairman Maria Lemieux Kelly Marshall Michael A. Refolo Anthony M. Trippi Management Staff Michael R. Hale, General Manager John Covey, Chief Information Officer Ralph Iaccarino, Manager, Electric System Norman Ludovico, Manager, Electric Operations (Retired June 2018) John Laverty, Manager, Electric Operations Joel Malaver, Manager, Cable Operations Greg Onorato, Manager, Headend Operations Jackie Pratt, Manager, Marketing & Customer Care Michael Quitadamo, Manager, Finance

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Electric Rates and Trends SELCO electric rates continue to remain stable, largely as a result of stable or declining prices in the natural gas market. Natural gas has become the leading supplier of energy production in our region, accounting for more than 50%. SELCO’s electric rates continue to remain among the lowest in the State. The chart below illustrates that a homeowner in Shrewsbury pays approximately 50% of an electric rate payer serviced by an investor owned utility. Residential Electric Rate Comparison for 750 kWh as of December 1, 2018

138 Cable Rates and Trends Unfortunately, rate stability in the cable sector doesn’t exist. Cable rate increases continue to be driven by costs that SELCO doesn’t control, namely programing. Six conglomerates own 85-90% of all cable channels and continue to require cable operators like SELCO to buy bundles of channels, not just the channels that most people watch. In February 2018, SELCO increased cable rates as follows: • Increased the Basic cable rates from $22.40 to $25.00. • Increased Expanded Basic cable rates from $38.60 to $44.50. • Increased Digital rates from $17.25 to $18.00. • Adjusted the Franchise fee from $4.00 to $4.61. Even with the rate increases, SELCO continues to compare favorably to other cable providers in Massachusetts at the Expanded Basic tier.

Business Sales SELCO’s ongoing commercial sales campaign continued in 2018, with consultant Steve Grossman managing door-to-door sales of business services. His efforts brought on more than $100,000 in additional revenue for SELCO annually. In addition to building a presence in the business community, Mr. Grossman has also played an important role in communicating between the customers and our field/Helpdesk staff.

Lutz Award 2018 was the fourth year SELCO awarded the Robert F. Lutz Award for Excellence in Customer Service. This year’s recipient was Lead Technician Gene Duhamel. Gene has been with SELCO for nearly 20 years, starting as CATV Maintenance Technician in 1999. In 2010 Gene was promoted to Line Technician and in 2014 he took on his current role as Lead Technician. Gene’s positive demeanor and professionalism make him a favorite among SELCO customers. Gene embodies the customer-first mentality we seek to honor with the Lutz Award. The Lutz award is given each year in memory of long time SELCO Commissioner Robert Lutz, who believed deeply in providing the best customer service possible. This year's award was presented by Bob Lutz's daughter Judy Polito, her husband Fran, and son Ken.

SELCO Retirements Manager of Electric Operations, Norman Ludovico retired on June 15, 2018. Norman began his career with the Town of Shrewsbury in 1971, working first in the Water Department until 1973, then transferring to the Electric Department. Norman has held several positions within SELCO over the years, working first as a Lineman and then as Foreman. He was promoted to Manager of Electric Operations in 2008, where he has served for the last decade. Norman logged 45 years with the Electric Department and 47 years total with the Town. His decades of experience and dedication have helped shape our organization. Field Engineer Mark Maciejewski retired on August 18, 2018 after 40 years with the organization. Mark began his career as a Junior Electrical Engineer in 1978 139 and has served as Field Engineer since 1984. Mark's attention to detail and his engineering know-how are major contributors to SELCO's reliability.

SELCO Promotions John Laverty was appointed as SELCO's new Manager of Electric Operations following the retirement of long-time Manager of Electric Operations, Norman Ludovico. John began his career at SELCO in 2007 as Substation Maintenance & Inspection Technician. He was appointed Substation Foreman in 2010, and will be an excellent member of the SELCO management team in his new role as Manager of Electric Operations. John has also served as Wiring Inspector since 2007. Other internal moves during 2018 include the promotion of Jonatan Malaver from Assistant Engineer to Senior Engineer, Derek Niemi from First Class Substation Worker to Working Foreman Substation, Christopher Carlo from Technical Specialist to Enterprise Server Specialist, and Stephen Davis from Helpdesk Technician to Technical Specialist assisting all municipal and SELCO employees with desktop and software support. These strategic promotions will help to ensure continued reliability of SELCO's systems and high quality of service as we move forward into the future.

New Hires To fill vacancies due to retirements and promotions as well as other staff attrition during 2018, SELCO brought on several new employees including Marketing Coordinator Danielle Caron, First Class Substation Worker Kelvin Rodriguez, Cable Service Technician Joseph Poulin, Field Engineer Meghadeep Saripalli, Customer Service Representative Brittany DeMalia, Business Systems Administrator Brianna Vega, Apprentice Lineman Bradley Colvin, and Apprentice Lineman Adam DiPadua.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP BENEFITS The Town realizes the following benefits by owning and operating its own electric and cable utilities.

Estimated Financial Benefits of Municipal Ownership – Electric During 2018, municipal ownership of the electric system provided the following estimated benefits: $237,569 Direct cash payment in lieu of taxes (although SELCO is tax exempt, the Light Commission votes annually to make a payment to the Town.) $153,420 Estimated interest income from operating cash and depreciation funds. SELCO elects to give the interest income from the depreciation fund to the Town. $763,970 Reduced electric rates for all Town buildings when compared to rates of neighboring investor-owned electric companies. 140 $357,900 Reduced street lighting rates SELCO charges the Town for street lighting. These rates are below those charged by neighboring investor-owned electric companies. $ 76,000 SELCO labor used to assist other town departments. $1,588,860 Value of SELCO Electric to the Town for 2018

Estimated Financial Benefits of Municipal Ownership – Cable During 2018, municipal ownership of the cable system provided the following benefits: $1,269,500 The total franchise payment was $800,000. This is significantly more than the maximum mandatory payment of the 5% of signal revenue that cable operators are required to pay. Under the federal formula the payment would have been only $524,582. In addition, SELCO contributed an estimated total of $469,535 in cash, salaries, and benefits for Shrewsbury Media Connection (SMC). $217,485 Estimated interest income from SELCO cable operating cash held by the Town. $ 72,000 Value of Institutional Network including fiber and electronics for transfer of computer data, voice, and Internet between all town buildings, including schools and police. $ 61,800 Internet services provided to Town and Schools. $ 21,840 Telemetry lines for water pump stations. $1,642,265 Value of SELCO Cable to the Town for 2018

STRATEGIC PLANNING In 2018, SELCO took on a number of projects that prepare the community for rapid changes occurring in both the cable and electric industries.

Electric Strategy The Massachusetts political landscape isn’t aligned with that of the current administration in Washington when it comes to energy policy. There is a strong desire by many in Massachusetts to increase the amount of energy produced by carbon free resources. SELCO receives approximately 40% of its energy from carbon free resources when accounting for nuclear, hydro, solar, and wind

141 production. This is significantly greatly than investor owner utilities. That said, SELCO undertook a major capital project in 2018 to increase our solar generation resources. After four years and two different deals approved by Town Meetings, private sector solar developers backed out of projects at the eleventh hour when they couldn’t get the profit (return on investment) needed. In 2018, the subsidies provided by the State were set to expire. The Commission voted to build the project itself, in partnership with MMWEC, the joint action agency of which SELCO is a member. At a cost of nearly $7.4 million, the project is now online. It is capable of producing nearly 1.5% of our annual energy needs. A more detailed description of the project is highlighted later in this report. A second large scale capital project was nearly completed in 2018. It was undertaken as a hedge against potential increases in power cost. SELCO signed a contract to purchase and construct a gas generator that can be used to control two of the three components that factor into the cost of wholesale energy. Energy pricing is based on three factors: the actual commodity, the cost of transmitting the energy to Shrewsbury, and “capacity,” or the cost paid to owners of generation assets able to run when called upon. The gas fired generator will only run 16-25 hours per month. It will provide 2.5 MW of generation. Capacity and Transmission costs are increasing steadily. The transmission cost is determined by the peak hour of demand each month. SELCO’s share of the capacity charge is determined by the peak hour of an entire year. By owning the new gas peaking, SELCO is able to turn the unit on and thus reduce the transmission and capacity allocations. SELCO considered procuring an additional 2.5 MW of gas peaking generation, but opted to see if the pricing for a battery storage alternative decreases over the next few years. The projected cost, upon completion is expected at slightly over $3 million and should be fully operational in the first quarter of 2019.

Cable Strategy The industry continues to experience an increase in “cord-cutting” of video subscribers. SELCO is not immune from this trend. In 2018, more than 600 customers dropped their video service. The cord cutting is directly related to significant increases in programing costs charged by media conglomerates. The reduction in video customers is also attributed to less expensive over the top (OTT) options provided by Hulu, Amazon, YouTube TV, and Netflix. The margins on the video product have gone away. The costs exceed the revenue and are being subsidized by other products. As stated in recent annual town reports, consumers continue to rely heavily on internet or broadband as part of their daily life. For many, it has become an essential service – just like electricity, water, and sewer. Internet subscribers continue to grow. Recognizing this, SELCO has stayed ahead of the industry curve on performance and speed. In 2018, SELCO received the results of report by CTC Technologies that was commissioned in 2017. The report provided options for SELCO to consider as part of its next generation cable plant. The report provided two options for consideration:

142 • An upgrade to the next generation technology currently deployed known as DOCSIS 3.1. • Bringing fiber directly to the premises at each single family and commercial dwelling. Both options will provide download speeds capable of 1GB. Fiber to the premises is able to provide symmetrical download and upload speeds of 1GB. The SELCO Commission would like to bring fiber directly to all subscribers. The challenge lies in replacing those customers serviced with underground connections. Fiber is the best technology currently available. The expected cost is estimated at $28 million. However, CTC has determined that on a NPV basic over a 20 year period is very similar to the DOCSIS 3.1 option because the DOCSIS option requires an additional upgrade in 10-12 years. In 2019, SELCO will continue evaluating options. SELCO will be deploying a significant amount of fiber which will be required for either option. The second move toward a broadband-centered strategy was the launch of Enhanced WiFi. The new SELCO Enhanced WiFi product offers a robust, high- end wireless router to SELCO broadband customers for just $9.95 per month. At year end, SELCO was pleased that nearly 800 subscribers signed onto this service, providing Helpdesk and tech support.

Public Access Strategy Effective December 31, 2018, Shrewsbury Media Connection is no longer under the SELCO umbrella. The entity will become a non-profit, responsible for its own employees and expenses. SELCO will provide 4.25% of annual video revenue to fund its operation.

MAJOR PROJECTS - ELECTRIC Landfill Solar Project The SELCO Community Solar Project is a joint effort of SELCO, MMWEC, the Town of Shrewsbury, Wheelabrator, and many others. The solar array will provide clean power to Shrewsbury residents for the next 25 years. It will contribute to SELCO’s carbon-free generation portfolio, which is already significantly greater than the statewide utility average. In addition to contributing carbon-free electricity, this project is an excellent reuse of the capped portion of the ash monofill located here in Shrewsbury. This solar array will be used as a community solar project, providing enough energy to power 300 Shrewsbury homes using up to 10,000 kWh each year. SELCO has long embraced a mission of providing the most reliable service at the best price available. The solar project for the landfill site will provide power at or below the current market rate. Any excess power generated by the project above and beyond the amount used by subscribers will be distributed across SELCO's entire electric customer base. The project was dedicated June 29, 2018 and officially began producing power 143 in July. The site covers 11.5 acres atop the landfill property along Route 20. The project consists of 10,802 solar panels with an output of 3 MW and will produce enough energy annually to power 300 residential homes plus a portion of the new Beal School to be constructed at the former Glavin Center. SELCO opened registration for residents to participate in its Community Solar Project in October 2018. This project allows for up to 300 residential customers to receive a maximum of 10,000 kWh per year of renewable power at the regular R-1 electric rate without any surcharge or buy-in fee. Leading up to its launch, SELCO promoted the Community Solar Project through the Local Lines newsletters, social media, and in person at events. Residential customers on the R-1 rate who do not have net metered solar installed are eligible to apply. On November 1, all participants began receiving power from the Community Solar Project. As of December 31, 2018, we had 287 customers enrolled with the remaining 13 spots left to be filled on a first come, first serve basis through our online application available at SELCO.ShrewsburyMA.gov/ communitysolar.

Main Street Rebuild SELCO crews relocated approximately 28 poles and anchors and transferred and remove old poles to make room for new sidewalks and road construction from the town center to the Route 290 ramps. This project began in the summer of 2017 and was completed in 2018. Road reconstruction is expected to continue in the spring of 2019.

LED Street Lighting Grant SELCO was awarded a grant in late 2016 to replace 2,000 street lighting fixtures with energy efficient LEDs. The replacement project began in 2017, with the final fixtures upgraded in May of 2018. These new LED street lights are 40-55% more energy efficient than the fixtures they replaced. The grant coverer half of the capital cost to purchase the lights. SELCO provided labor and the balance of capital cost.

MAJOR PROJECTS - CABLE SELCO CORE Routers SELCO began replacing the older CISCO 6509 routers with CISCO ASR9K routers in winter 2017. The ASR are being deployed at 400Gbps of traffic but upgradable to Terabits of bandwidth. This is a multi-year project with planning beginning in January of 2017, routers purchased in April of 2017, and deployment starting in November 2017. Configuration took about two months, with the first connections and services being migrated in February of 2018. More connections were migrated throughout spring and summer 2018. The older routers (CISCO 6509) were finally shut down on December 12, 2018, completing the project. The new routers secure SELCO’s position as an Internet Service Provider. These routers add extra redundancy and plenty of capacity for years to come. The ASRs are capable of routing Internet traffic for multiple ISP, giving SELCO the 144 opportunity to interconnect with networks like Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu, as well as the ability to potentially provide services to neighboring communities.

Gigabit Fiber SELCO launched a new Internet service for its Fiber to the Premise (FTTP) business packages. The new service is called Enterprise Premium offering 1 GB of Internet connectivity. This package marks Shrewsbury as a “Gigabit community.” Enterprise Premium offers symmetrical Gigabit speeds for $449.95 per month. The package was officially launched December 3, 2018.

Enterprise Fiber Enterprise Fiber, initially launched in 2016 and available for $299.95 per month, was upgraded from 400 Mbps to 500 Mbps symmetrical speeds on December 7, 2018.

Water Treatment Plant SELCO technicians worked to install fiber and telephone service to the new Water Treatment Plant located at the intersection of Main St. and North Quinsigamond Ave. The facility is home to state of the art equipment in water treatment technology. SELCO technicians extended the secured SCADA network so Water Department staff can control equipment remotely. Town network resources were also extended so they can access IT infrastructure. A WiFi system was also installed so water treatment technicians can use iPads to access diagnostics on water pumps and filtering system equipment.

Internet Upstream Upgrade In September 2018, SELCO began a project to upgrade Internet upstream capabilities for its cable plant. Internet upstreaming consist of all the traffic that is sent from customer devices out to the Internet. SELCO is expanding its upstream pipe from 55 Mbps to about 90 Mbps. The added capacity will allow Internet customers to continue using services that demand upstreaming services like IOT, gaming, video surveillance, etc. SELCO completed the upgrade of its 64 nodes on December 6, 2018.

Headend Operations In 2018, a significant amount of time was spent on cleanup and system improvements at the Headend facility. There was old, no longer-used equipment that had yet to be removed from the datacenter as well as older wiring. The team cleaned up the data racks and better organized the remaining equipment. The racks themselves are older and not cooling-efficient, so the team has started replacing racks one at a time. It was important to inventory and clean up in order to better judge how many new racks are actually needed. A focus was also placed on adding redundancy wherever possible. The headend has multiple electrical circuits, two battery backup devices, as well as a generator. All devices in the Headend that have multiple power supplies are now connected 145 to multiple circuits across both battery backup devices meaning it would take multiple, simultaneous failures before equipment loses connectivity. Aside from cleanup and general improvements, one major capital project was completed. The core routing platform for the ISP had reached end of life and was also near capacity. The old CISCO 6509 platform was replaced with a newer CISCO ASR 9000 series routing platform. The project took six months to complete due to the complexity involved, however the team was able to complete the project without any significant customer outages. Plenty of capacity now exists and several layers of redundancy were added during the migration.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW – ELECTRIC – THE 110TH YEAR OF OPERATIONS Operating Results SELCO – Electric Operating Revenue for 2018 was $32,129,247. In April of 2018 SELCO’s Generation Transition Adjustment (GTA) was a credit of $0.0076/kWh to stay even with lower Spring/Summer power costs. That GTA credit was reduced to $0.0021/kWh in October 2018 for the Fall/Winter seasons. Operating Expenses excluding depreciation totaled $28,899,217 in 2018. Generation, Purchased Power and Transmission expense accounted for $24,640,825 or 85% of that total. All other non-power related cost for 2018 totaled $4,258,392. The resulting 2018 Net Income from Operations of $1,181,095 and withdrawals from reserve funds were used to fund Capital Projects of $3,519,000, Retirement Contribution of $251,000, Debt Service of $451,000 and payment to the Town in lieu of taxes of $237,570.

Energy Sales/Peak Demand Total energy sales of 285,817,338 kWh for 2018 was greater than the 273,481,964 kWh for 2017. The 2018 peak load occurred on August 29 with the electric load reaching 63.082 MW. This was greater than the 2017 peak of 59.702 MW and less than the all-time peak of 68.356 MW, which occurred in June 2008.

Electric Rates SELCO decreased the GTA in April 2018 from a “level playing field” of $0.00 per kWh to a credit of -$0.0076 per kWh. The average customer using 750 kWh per month saw their bill decrease from $90.55 to $84.85 – a reduction of $5.70 per month. With the GTA acting as a credit we were able to return surplus funds to customers. Due to average anticipated energy costs, SELCO set the GTA to -$0.0021 in October 2018. The GTA is designed to reflect the actual cost of power based on seasonal fluctuation in generation costs.

System Reliability There were 78 outages in 2018, down from 88 in 2017. The average amount of time it took to restore power once an outage occurred decreased to 17 minutes in 2018 from 25 minutes in 2017. The average outage duration for each customer served increased to 12 minutes per customer in 2018 from 9 minutes per customer in 2017. There was a increase in total outage minutes to 190,147 in 2018 from 138,789 in 2017. The number of animal related outages, mostly attributable to squirrels, decreased from 36 in 2017 to 31 in 2018.

Energy Efficiency Programs SELCO offers Energy Star appliance rebates, reduced-cost energy efficient lighting, and free home energy audits to residential customers through MMWEC’s Home Energy Loss Prevention Services (HELPS). In 2018 SELCO provided 8 commercial customers lighting rebates totaling $20,450 through MMWEC’s Green Opportunity (GO) program. SELCO provided the following residential energy efficiency rebates and services to customers in 2018: 147 Conservation Measure Number Provided Value to Customers Clothes Dryer 15 $750 Clothes Washer 47 $2,350 Dehumidifier 59 $1,770 Refrigerator 12 $600 Air Purifier 8 $320 Pool Pump 5 $1,250 Heat Pump Water Heater 2 $1,000 Central AC 19 $4,750 Ductless Mini-Split 22 $5,500 Heat Pumps 2 $500 High Efficiency Furnace/Boiler 2 $1,500 Duct Seal 1 $500 Blower Door 1 $500 Smart WiFi Thermostat 47 $4,742 Home Energy Audits 128 $26,995 TOTAL $53,027

In addition to the residential programs offered through HELPS, SELCO also provides zero-interest residential energy conservation loans up to $3,500 for added insulation or replacement windows and doors. Zero-interest loans are available up to $10,000 for installing solar or replacing an old electric heating system with energy efficient oil or gas. A total of five loans were given in 2018. Three loans were given for solar, and two were given for insulation and replacement windows/ doors.

Electric Vehicle Programs SELCO launched two electric vehicle programs in 2017 that continued into 2018. Both Nissan and Chevy made a special offer available to SELCO customers through an agreement with MMWEC. Customers were eligible to receive significant discounts on the 2018 Nissan Leaf and 2018 Chevy Bolt electric vehicles In addition to the EV discount offers, SELCO offered a scheduled charging program. This program provides participants with a free Chargepoint Level 2 Home EV charger (approx. $600 value.) In exchange for the free charger, customers allow SELCO to limit their device to Level 1 charging between the hours of 5 pm and 9 pm on weekdays and during peak events as identified by MMWEC. SELCO distributed 12 chargers in 2018. MMWEC handles the scheduled charging program as well as all application approvals.

148 Community Outreach Programs and Events SELCO sponsored and participated in a variety of community events in 2018 including the Earth Day Tree Giveaway, SELCO 4th Grade Open House, Floral Goes Green, Coolidge Energy Efficiency Education, Shrewsbury Farmer’s Market, Outdoor Movie Night at Dean Park, and the Spirit of Shrewsbury Fall Festival. We again solicited donations for our Share the Warmth program, collecting $23,903.48 to assist Shrewsbury families in need who have difficulty affording electricity during the cold winter months. SELCO also collected donations for St. Anne’s Santa’s Toy Chest program.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW – CABLE – THE 35TH YEAR OF OPERATIONS Operating Results Total Operating Revenues for 2018 were $20,901,051. Signal Sales in 2018 of $10,767,754 included rate increases to SELCO – Cable’s Basic and Expanded tiers. Rates are increased to keep stride with rising signal costs and to invest in the Fiber infrastructure necessary for SELCO to remain competitive and viable. Internet Sales subscriber levels remained steady with many customers moving to service tiers with higher speed at a greater monthly rate. Total Internet Service revenue totaled $8,353,876. SELCO–Telephone was in its twelfth full year of operation. In 2018 we lost about 131 residential subscribers, however, there was an increase of about 17 new business subscribers. Annual revenue was $1,623,524. Other miscellaneous revenue totaled $155,897. Operating Expenses, excluding depreciation for 2018 totaled $14,383,955. Signal Costs and Network maintenance came in at $10,779,772. Other expenses including Transmission, Distribution, Customer and Administrative totaled $3,604,183. Total operations resulted in $4,765,256 of Net Income in 2018. The 2018 net income provided the funds for about $1,412,705 of capital additions, Retirement Contribution of $299,756, Franchise Fee payment to the Town of $800,000 and funding SMC of $469,535. In addition funds will be used to offset the $2.2 million of capital projects slated for 2019. The direction of the video service industry is uncertain at this time. SELCO is working to establish a strong cash position in order to take a large portion of the funding necessary for this transition without external financing.

Cable Rate Increase Due to rising programming costs, SELCO increased cable rates for all bills issued on or after February 1, 2018. The total cost for Basic and Expanded Basic cable (channels 2-85) increased from $61.00 per month to $69.50 per month. Digital Cable increased from $17.25 to $18.00. There was no rate increase for HDTV ($10.95).

IT STAFFING CHANGES During 2018, we had two staff members leave and two new members join the team. Alexander Coldwell left SELCO for a private sector position. Chris Carlo was promoted to fill the open role as Enterprise Server Administrator. We then successfully filled the position Chris Carlo vacated with a member of the Helpdesk team, Steve Davis. Steve has a great deal of technical experience and has a great following with our external SELCO customers. He is a great addition to our group. Rossana Malaver was promoted to the Officer Manager position for the Public Works department. Rosanna has been instrumental in supporting the MUNIS system for several departments and already has deep knowledge of the day to day operations of the Public Works team. We backfilled her position with Brianna Vega (Bri), who has come to SELCO from North Brookfield Savings bank. Bri has a cybersecurity certification and we are hoping she will assist us with setting up our cybersecurity program. She has already gained a following with her monthly IT Security newsletter. Our overall mission continues to be to provide cost-effective innovation to the community.

153 PROJECT UPDATES MUNIS 2018 Upgrade The IT team upgraded MUNIS to version 2018 in October of 2018. This upgrade continues to be problematic. We worked through several issues with the new software, our main concern being the processing of third quarter tax bills. Heading into 2019, we will be assessing our relationship with Tyler and making corrections as necessary.

Public Works Development IT staff assisted the Public Works department by setting up their new webpage. Looking ahead, they have three main initiatives; a work order system, a voice response call center, and a review of their GIS/pavement management database. Budgeting and staff availability will dictate the pace at which they can implement process and technical changes.

ViewPoint ViewPoint issues with address maintenance and payment are being addressed. We have assisted the Worcester Health Alliance in establishing an inspection protocol.

Fortigate Switch SELCO and the Town have successfully been awarded $110,000 in State funding for a new Fortigate Switch. Although the grant award was in 2018, we will implement the project after the first of the year.

158 SHREWSBURY MEDIA CONNECTION (SMC)

Community Programming Public, Educational and Government (PEG) Access Channels ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2018 SMC Board of Directors Peter Collins, Chair Alden Harris, Treasurer John Samia, Secretary Cate Shepherd, Director Weichu Xu, Director

Staff Marc Serra, Manager Kevin Looney, Public Access Coordinator Liz Poplawski, Education Channel Coordinator Lori Bergman, Programming Coordinator

REVIEW OF SHREWSBURY MEDIA CONNECTION 2018 ACTIVITIES In 2016, SELCO and the Board of Selectmen agreed to open the Cable Television Franchise Agreement and renegotiate the terms of Article 6 PUBLIC, EDUCATIONAL and GOVERNMENTAL (PEG), ACCESS/LOCAL ORIGINATION FACILITIES AND SUPPORT. The end result was that SMC would switch from a Municipally run entity, over to a non-profit organization run by a Board of Directors. The new SMC, Inc. was incorporated in August 2018, and will takeover operational control on January 1, 2019. The initial five member Board of Directors is made up of three Directors that the outgoing SMC Advisory Board nominated, one Director appointed by the Selectmen, and one by the School Committee. This change ended the 30+ year history of SPAC/SMC as a division of SELCO, but will also offer new opportunities and growth potential for SMC. Programming and services were not impacted during this transition. 2018 activity remained high with the 3 PEG Channels. Training and production services were provided to many residents and non-profit organizations such as SYSF, Girl Scouts, Friends of the Senior Center, The COA, The Historical Society, The League of Woman Voters, Shrewsbury Special Olympics, and many local religious organizations. In total, more than 400 programs were produced by Shrewsbury residents and organizations. To make these programs, our TV studio, edit suites and production equipment were accessed 471 times. On SETV-329, the school committee and superintendent continued producing episodes of School Talk and Superintendent’s Forum. The Educational Television Studio (ETS) at SHS produced 38 programs such as Colonial Journal and ETS News, and St. Mary’s Video Club remained active with coverage of school and sporting events. Asset Valley Tech and Quinsigamond Community College also

159 submitted programming. A total of 127 education related programs were shown on SETV. Government meeting coverage on SGTV-330 continued its strong presence. A total of 144 meetings and events were broadcast. SGTV also produced 29 episodes of local gov’t programs such as Selectmen’s Roundtable, Conversations with Hannah, Beal School Building Update and Lights, Cable…Action.

160 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

Stephen J. Rocco, Director Paul McNiff, Deputy Director and CERT Coordinator

The Town of Shrewsbury’s Emergency Management personnel include Steve Rocco, Director, Paul McNIff, Deputy Director and CERT Coordinator, Aaron Roy, LEPC Coordinator, and Angela Snell, Public Information Officer (PIO). The Town’s Emergency Management Preparedness Team met four times during 2018 with the explicit intent on conducting Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) emergency management related table top scenarios/exercises. On June 21st, the appointed SEMA Director was sworn in for an additional year due to expire June 30, 2019. The School Department’s Building Assessment Team (BAT), which includes members of the Shrewsbury Police Department, Fire Department, Buildings Department, and the SEMA Director during the interim March-June 2017, conducted safety and security inspections of all ten-school sites, with a particular emphasis on active shooter scenarios. Continued enhancements relative to safety and security procedures and technology improvements (upgraded public address systems with remote capability to announce emergency response protocols and notifications were made at the following schools; Parker Road, Spring St, Paton, Coolidge, Oak Middle School and Sherwood Middle School. Active Shooter training, Lockdown drills, Hurricane, Tornado, and Fire drills were conducted on a quarterly basis at all school locations. Recommendations, building modifications, and improvements were well received and implemented at the various school sites relative to increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of these drills. During the interim February-May 2018, members of SEMA, the Town Manager, Assistant Town Manager, Department Heads, and various Community Members partnered with the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs and conducted workshops for its Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) grant program. This grant program provides up to $50,000 for municipalities or groups of municipalities to conduct community resilience-building workshops. An in-kind local match is required. Conducted by certified trainers, these workshops helped communities to define extreme weather and natural and climate-related hazards, identify existing and future vulnerabilities and strengths, develop and prioritize actions for the municipality and broader stakeholder networks, and identify opportunities for the municipality to advance actions to reduce risks and build resilience. The Town of Shrewsbury successfully completed the MVP Program, and was subsequently awarded "MVP Community" status, which may lead to increased standing in future state funding opportunities. During June 2018 members of SEMA attended the 4rd Annual Region 2 Health and Medical Emergency Preparedness Conference: Mass Gathering and Their Impact on Public Health and Healthcare. Topics included regional response to large scale disease outbreaks, large scale medical response to stadium or large

161 capacity social events, and self-contained medical preparations for national level events. During November 2018, SEMA members attended the Massachusetts All Hazards Emergency Preparedness Conference. The conference hosted over 600 local, state, federal, private and non-profit sector emergency management and public safety professionals for two days of networking, discussions, education, and presentations by renowned professionals. Interactive presentations, plenary, panel and breakout sessions, experts in Cyberterrorism, Active Shooter Response, Environmental Protection, and Natural Disasters and will showcase and share model practices, tools and technologies, and lessons learned. The Shrewsbury Emergency Management Agency will continue to address issues around preparedness and training and the Town’s Emergency Preparedness Team will continue to meet on a regular basis to stay current on these and other emergency-related issues.

162 ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

Andy Truman P.E., Senior Civil Engineer

The Engineering Department (“The Department”) continued to provide technical support to the Board of Selectmen Town Boards, Commissions, and Departments. During the 2018 year, the Department provided support services to the Planning Board, Conservation Commission, Sewer and Water Department, Highway Department, Public Buildings Department, Building Inspector, Health Department, Police Department, Assessors, Library Building Committee, Shrewsbury Development Corporation, School Department, Library, SELCO, and the Fire Department. The Department continued to be very busy with Town projects, review of private projects, increased mandates from the State and Federal Government, and various planning projects. While attending to the day-to-day and short-term business, the Department continues to focus on long-term planning and project development that will improve the Town’s ability to support economic development in the future. The Department worked with the Water and Sewer Department, as well as the Highway Department, to prepare bid packaged for major upgrades to the Towns’ existing water, sewer system and storm drainage as part of the Towns ongoing upgrade to aging infrastructure. Infiltration and Inflow (I/I) of clean water (run-off and groundwater) has long been an issue with the Town’s sewer system. It is a very common problem as sewer systems age. Inflow, the most significant problem with our sewer system, is generally defined as surface water and runoff water that is discharged to the sewer system from sources such as catch basins, sump pumps, roof leaders, surface drains, vent holes in manhole covers and other inlets. The initial phases commenced in 2011 and continued in 2018. Smoke testing, visual manhole inspections, and house-to-house inspections were performed in several different areas in 2018 and yielded about 70,000-feet of sewer pipe that will need to be rehabilitated in 2019. In support of the I/I removal from the sewer system, the Department is developing a private inflow policy to deal with the removal of sump pump discharges to the sewer system. The policy is being developed with the assistance of Weston & Sampson (W&S). Similar policies from other municipalities have been reviewed along with educational materials from several sources. The policy will combine the requirements needed to meet new Federal stormwater requirements. Several meetings were held to draft a policy that best fits Shrewsbury’s needs; the final approval and implementation are expected in 2019. Reconstruction of Main Street from I-290 to the Town Center commenced in 2018. The initial work focused on the installation of new storm drainage in Main Street; the balance of the work will be complete in 2019. Funding for the project is part of the 2017 Transportation Improvement Program”. The new Stormwater MS4 Permit, issued by the Environmental Protection Agency, went live in July of 2018. The Department developed new a Stormwater Bylaw 163 that will help the town meet the new stringent standards of the MS4 permit. The Town has also commenced work to comply with the requirement of the permit; the initial focus was on developing a budget forecast for the next five years to identify cost to comply with the permit. The Town hired W&S to help identify scope and cost based on their experience working with other municipalities. Based on the anticipated work, the average annual cost to comply with the permit is $1.7M a year. The Department worked with W&S, and the Sewer Commission to determine the most equitable way to assess the cost to people of the Town. A tiered fee-based system founded on the amount of impervious area on a property was developed and presented to the Sewer Commission for review and approval. The Stormwater Bylaw and utility fee will become live in early 2019. SELCO opted to own and maintain the permitted solar array at the landfill with assistance from the Department. Permitting for the solar array, which started in the fall of 2014, and was completed in 2018; construction of the array was completed in 2018, and the array is now online. Demolition of the existing Toblin Bridge was completed in 2018. The Department is now working with the Towns’ consultant, GZA on a couple of options for the new bridge design. The preferred design is to be presented at Town meeting in May 2019, after which construction of the new bridge will commence. Working with the Highway Department, the Department assisted in the bidding and construction of the replacement salt shed to replace the existing salt shed on South Street. The salt shed was completed in October and was named the “John Knipe” salt shed after the recently retired Highway Superintendent. The Department continued maintaining, improve and expand the Town’s Geographic Information System (GIS) and existing maps. Ongoing updates of some of the key map layers include the parcel and utility layers. Assistance was provided to Town departments, private agencies, and the general public through the production and delivering of hard copy maps, database information and electronic (CAD) files. New and existing engineering plans, utility location plans and other documents continue to be cataloged and integrated into the system. The Department is collaborating with other surrounding municipalities to solicit a quote for a new Town wide fly-over scheduled for 2019. The Department designed and bid a contract for proposed sewer improvements on Oakland Avenue put out to bid. Out of nine bidders, the contract was awarded to the lowest bidder, Borges Construction Inc. out of Ludlow for an estimated cost of $169,404.00. The work was completed in 2018. The Department designed and bid a contract for proposed water improvements on Francis Avenue, Edgemere Boulevard, Lakeside Drive, Bay View Drive, and Church Road put out to bid. Out of eight bidders, the contract was awarded to the lowest bidder, Haluch Water Contracting, Inc. out of Ludlow for an estimated cost of $1,351,000.20. The work was substantially completed in 2018. The Department designed and bid a contract for the proposed drainage improvements on Boylston Circle. Based on available funding, a portion of the design put out to bid. Out of four bidders, the base contract was awarded to the lowest bidder, J.A. Polito & Sons, Inc. out of Shrewsbury for an estimated cost

164 of $336,100.20.20. The work was substantially completed in 2018. Remaining portions of the design will be put out to bid in 2019 with hopes of completing the drainage in Boylston Circle. The Department provided design and construction services to the Public Buildings Department for the High School parking lot and drainage improvements. The Department prepared the base plans and put the project out to Bid. Out of the six bidders, the contract was awarded to Precise Paving, Inc. out of Brimfield for an estimated cost of $172,805.00. The work was completed in 2018 in-time for the School opening in the fall. The Department provided design and construction services to the Parks Department for the paving of portions of the driveways at Mountview Cemetery. The Department prepared the base plans and solicited three bids for the work. The contract was awarded Cassidy Corp. out of Woburn for a cost of $23,693.00. The work was completed in 2018. The Department assisted the Board of Selectmen with several petitions by members of the Public to review traffic issues on a particular street or to convert a Private Street to a Public Street. For traffic concerns, the Department performed traffic studies in the area and coordinate with the Police Department on accident date. The Department took this information and made a recommendation to the Board on the appropriate action, i.e., signage. For Public Street Conversions, the Department prepared preliminary designs and cost estimates to upgrade a street for acceptance as a public way. The Department then held the necessary public meeting to present the cost and process to abutters of the street. The Departments other activities throughout 2018 involved; the maintenance of the Town Tax maps, computation of betterment liens and assessments including all necessary plans for filing at the Registry of Deeds; all necessary research, computation, plans and deed descriptions for all easements and land acquisitions, and dispositions by the Town; reproduction of existing street layouts; preparation of contract documents and supervision of construction for street, sewer, water, and other public work projects; and feasibility studies for proposed projects by the various town departments. The Department continued to provide day-to-day construction inspection services for all active projects approved by either the Planning Board, Conservation Commission or Zoning Board of Appeals; These projects included: PROJECTS • Toblin Hill Drive Bridge demolition and stabilization. • New CVS at 720 Boston Turnpike (old Kia dealership). • Wyman Farms at 945 Main St slopes stabilization and site construction. • New residential homes on Wesleyan Street, Elm Street, Wood Street, Harrington Avenue, • New KIA service building at #315 South Street. • The Pointe at Hills Farm housing project. • Columbia Gas Training Facility at 15 Fortune Boulevard. • Gulf Street street improvements. 165 • 579-585 Lake Street. • The work in several subdivisions (Nelson Point, Oak Meadows, Russell Industrial Park, & Summit Ridge).

166 FIRE DEPARTMENT: 2018 YEAR END REPORT

James M. Vuona - MPA, CFO Fire Chief

Our Mission: Protect Life, Property and the Environment through; Public Education, Fire Prevention and Emergency Response. Be Helpful, Courteous and Professional.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW The Shrewsbury Fire Department consists of 38 full-time and 15 on-call/part-time members. Two (2) of the 38 positions, Fire Chief and Deputy Fire Chief, are primarily administrative positions. Additionally, we have one (1) Administrative Assistant that works at Fire Headquarters to handle billing, payroll, and general secretarial work. We protect nearly six (6) billion dollars in assets extending over 20.78 sq. miles and serve a population that is approaching 40,000 residents. In 2018, our firefighters responded to 4,055 calls for service. This is the most responses in the history of the Fire Department (an increase of 174 calls). This equates to an average of 11.1 response calls per day. Additionally, the staff processed nearly 3,000 permits and related inspections. That said, firefighting staff has remained relatively unchanged. Since 2013 as Fire Chief, I have been advocating for an increase in fire department staffing by a total of 8 -10 positions. In February of 2016, we added the position of Deputy Chief to our ranks. Please note; this is primarily an administrative dayshift position that was designed and created to handle Fire Prevention and Code Enforcement. The following excerpt is from the 2013 Fire Department Town Report: “We continue to operate with a staffing level that was established at Town Meeting back in 1987. For perspective purposes, it should be noted that in 1987 the population in Shrewsbury was 22,547 people and that today’s population exceeds 35,000. In 1987, the Shrewsbury Fire Department responded to 789 calls for service. That is nearly 3,000 calls less than we responded to in 2013. To adequately protect our community, the Town should consider incrementally adding 8-10 full-time positions to the Fire Department over the next five (5) years.” We have received the support of the Town Manger’s office and the Board of Selectman from FY 2015 through the present to pursue Federal (AFG) Grant funding for four (4) firefighter positions to address our staffing shortages. Funds for the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grants Program are awarded on a competitive basis and made directly to local fire departments and other eligible organizations. As of this date, we have been unsuccessful in three (3) attempts to secure funding. I believe the reason we have failed to receive AFG funding for a staffing grant is due to the following; we have not asked for enough

167 personnel to reach the nationally recognized NFPA 1710 standard that guides the award process. If we would have applied to fund eight (8) positions, we would have increased our chance for success. The Town of Westborough recently applied for eight (8) new positions and was awarded eight (8) firefighter positions through the AFG Grant process because they demonstrated the ability to achieve a recognizable standard (NFPA 1710). This brings Westborough’s staffing to forty (40) firefighter positions (which is now larger than Shrewsbury’s Fire Department) despite the fact that Westborough’s population is approximately half that of the Town of Shrewsbury. The current fire department staffing deficiencies we face also negatively impacts the town in the following ways/areas: • Insurance Rates (Poor ISO Ratings) • Increased Injuries to Firefighters (NIST & NIOSH Studies) • Overtime Expenditure (lost work time due to injuries) • Delayed or Ineffective Responses (lack of staff and supervision) • Healthcare and Legal Costs (IOD/111F/Liability Issues) For the past three (3) years, Town government has agreed to the terms of the Federal (SAFER) Grant. Which are; 75% paid by grant award in years one (1) and two (2) and 35% in year three (3) with the balance remaining each year paid by the town. In the fourth year (FY20), the Town would be assuming the full financial responsibility for the positions. In other words, the timeframe to assume this cost is upon us in the FY 2020 (July 1st, 2019) budget cycle. The former Town Manager stated that more funds would become available at the completion of the Lakeway Commons Project (now completed). Further, reduced funding over the next several years to fully fund OPEP (Retirement Benefits) should make additional funding available to the Town to be used towards public safety purposes. In the future, consideration for operating an EMS-based Fire Service (aka Ambulance Service) could further support and defray the cost of operating the Fire Department. Over three and half (3.5) million dollars in annual billing goes to private ambulance providers generated from medical emergencies and transports within the Town of Shrewsbury. That annual revenue stream could be used to increase staffing and at the same time offset the operating costs of fire department. In other words, the town could be better protected from a man power standpoint while operating at reduced cost to the tax payers. Statistically, emergency medical responses and vehicle accidents accounted for over 70% of our call volume. Over the past five (5) years, I have spoken with members of the Board of Selectmen (both past and present) and all have agreed that the fire department is in need of more staffing. Members of the fire department have worked with representatives of the Finance Committee (past and present), including a Public Safety Subcommittee that concluded the Shrewsbury Fire Department is in need of increased staffing. The most recent Town of Shrewsbury Masterplan cited the need for increased staffing for both the Fire and Police Departments. The simple fact of the matter is – the fire department has fallen way behind any and all recognizable standards, and we currently operate at levels that are unsafe for firefighters and ultimately unsafe for the general public. The town has grown exponentially since 1987, yet the fire department has not. In 2001, Chief Gerald 168 LaFlamme created a 10- Year Fire Department Strategic Plan which advocated for more personnel and supervision (including Lieutenants). Some 18 years later, little has been accomplished to meet the basic safety goals outlined in that document. Shrewsbury’s firefighter (FF) staffing levels demand prolonged periods of increased workloads and escalate the probability of injury on duty, as well as line of duty deaths. According to a National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) survey (2015), the national average FF per 1,000 people is 1.54. As of November 26, 2018, the Professional Firefighters of Massachusetts (PFFM) indicates fire department staffing within the Commonwealth is 1.58 FFs per 1,000 people (2018). With thirty-two (32) FFs, Shrewsbury’s FF per 1,000 people is at a dangerously low 0.86. Comparatively, similar communities are reporting 1.83 FF per 1,000 and Massachusetts Fire District 14 partners are reporting 1.63 FF per 1,000 people. The following graph illustrates this comparison. .

These statistics demonstrate that the Shrewsbury Fire Department has one of the lowest staffing levels per capita in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Additionally, the percentage of funding the Town allocates annually to staffing the fire department is among the very lowest in the state for comparative communities. At this time, a considerable staffing correction is needed and required at the Shrewsbury Fire Department. I am requesting Town Government make an investment in the public safety of this community in FY 2020. At the supervisory level, we need to create a rank structure that includes Lieutenants. This will help us operate more safely at emergency scenes and address span of control shortcomings we experience on a daily basis. In 2018, 169 we responded to 139 calls for fires. Structure fires accounted for 84 of our responses throughout the past year. The high percentage of these fires were rapidly extinguished while they were still relatively small. This is the true advantage of having full-time career firefighters who work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. However, a great percentage of our calls are performed without a pump operator or supervisory officer to oversee the scene and the safety of our personnel. The department responded to significant fire incidents in commercial businesses at both Walgreens and at Horton’s Market (which has never reopened). Both of these incidents remain under investigation by the State Fire Marshal’s office and the Shrewsbury Police Department. We routinely respond to mutual aid requests from Northborough, Westborough and the City of Worcester. Often times, these mutual aid responses leave us temporarily short-handed, which is in part due to our staffing deficiencies.

RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS Our department has been built on a foundation of progressive Fire Prevention and Public Education programs. We have worked throughout the community to manage risk and limiting the devastating effects of uncontrolled fire. Public Education Programs, Fire Prevention, Code Enforcement and Inspectional Services make up a large part of our Community Risk Reduction efforts. Proactive Public Education and Fire Prevention programs have been proven to be the most cost efficient and effective ways to manage risk and reduce the likelihood of fire within the community. The creation of a Deputy Fire Chief position in 2016 has helped to address a large portion of our Fire Prevention and Code Enforcement duties and achieve compliance goals. Additional supervisory staffing would in turn enhance our prevention efforts. Deputy Chief Bruce Card Jr. oversees Fire Prevention and Code Enforcement, Operations, Compliance Standards and Record Keeping. The four (4) Fire Captains and the Building Inspector’s Office work together to support the goals of our Fire Prevention Program. The complexity of life safety systems, evolving building requirements and mechanical systems creates a challenging environment for Town inspection officials. Interpretation, application and enforcement of the State mandated Fire and Building Codes (Massachusetts General Law) is a very time consuming and tedious effort. Most firefighter training is conducted while working on shift. Training includes the following: firefighting tactics, strategy, hazardous materials response, medical emergencies, technical rescue, ice and water rescue, and the list goes on. Captain Aaron Roy schedules and oversees nearly all aspects of training for the fire department. All personnel are required to attain and maintain a variety of skills to mitigate any emergency situation that may be encountered. Emergency medical training is a continual process to maintain skills and certifications. The MA Emergency Care Training Academy (MECTA) and UMass/Worcester EMS oversee and conduct our medical training and keep us up to date with the latest medical response protocols. We encourage higher education and lifelong learning for all of our firefighters to make themselves the best and most well trained emergency responders they can be. 170 The department strives to be accessible to the community through various outreach and educational programs in our schools and with our senior citizens. We work to assist our seniors by partnering with the Council on Aging, Elder Services of Worcester and the American Red Cross. Firefighter David Muntz and Captain Frank Ludovico coordinate our S.A.F.E. Program (Student Awareness of Fire Education) and work with a team of trained firefighters to educate citizens and students on the dangers of fire and promote injury prevention. This is done through school based programs, open houses, community partnerships and regular station visits. The Shrewsbury Fire Department has an active “Child Safety Seat Installation Program” that provides hundreds of installs per year. Residents are continuously reminded that working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors are their best bet for surviving a fire. Smoke detectors and CO alarms provide early notification to your family in order to escape safely when there is a fire or toxic smoke/gases present in your home.

GRANTS AND EQUIPMENT In 2018, the Fire Department was fortunate to receive enough funding to replace, repair and upgrade some of its older and obsolete equipment. Equipment news and updates: • $400,000 was appropriated for the purchase of new MSA (Model G1) - Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and related equipment to outfit the entire Shrewsbury Fire Department. The new equipment represents a substantial safety upgrade over the twenty (20) year old SCBA units that were placed out of service November of 2018. The new MSA SCBA include many safety upgrades including; a built in thermal imaging camera and a radio headset with blue tooth capability. These advances in technology enhance firefighter’s ability to see and hear in hostile fire environments and provide highest level personal safety available on today’s market. • $56,000 was appropriated to repaint and refurbish our 1997 E-One Fire Engine currently in service at Fire Headquarters. Unfortunately, Calcium and Salt mixtures used to keep our streets safe during the winter also causes corrosion issues with our vehicles under carriages, paint, body and electrical components. • A New Hovercraft and Rib-craft Rescue Boat were placed in service in late 2017/early 2018. This has been made possible through the generosity of Mrs. Barbara Donohue, who has donated over $80,000 to the Town in the past year. We sincerely thank Mrs. Donohue for her continuous support and philanthropic efforts. This equipment has substantially increased our effectiveness and lifesaving capability on Lake Quinsigamond, and other water bodies throughout the region. It has also allowed us to work in joint training and rescue efforts with the Worcester Fire Department Dive Team and Fire District 14 Technical Rescue Team. • Shrewsbury Fire added a 4WD Brush Truck/Forestry Unit to its inventory in 2018. The used vehicle (Ford F-350) was purchased from the Town of Northborough and should serve the Town well for the next 10 years or so. The unit is primarily for off-road use at brush fires.

171 • $37,637 was awarded to the Shrewsbury Fire Department via a 2017-2018 Federal Assistance to Firefighters (AFG) Grant. This funding was awarded for the purchase and installation of Commercial Grade Washing and Drying Machines (aka Extractors) to wash firefighter turnout gear after fires. This is part of a concerted effort to reduce the exposure of our personnel to carcinogens and other toxins. • Massachusetts S.A.F.E. (Student/Senior Awareness of Fire Education) Grants have been awarded to supplement public education and safety programs in our schools, community events and our senior population. This year we have been awarded $8,254.00 to supplement our educational programs by the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, the Department of Fire Services and the Governor’s Office. Public Education programs were substantially funded by State grants and private donations. • $4,108.46 was awarded to us by MA Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) for a Hazardous Materials Emergency Planning Grant. This money is used to supplement hazardous materials training programs for the fire department and the Shrewsbury Emergency Management Agency (SEMA). • Please note: Grant writing is spearheaded by a team of Shrewsbury Firefighters that includes; Michael Borowiec, Adam Towner, Thomas Schofield and David Muntz (along with the guidance of the supervisory staff of the Shrewsbury Fire Department). • The largest portion of our capital budget is dedicated to the maintenance and repair of our existing apparatus, equipment, facilities and infrastructure. This includes; all fire engines, trucks, SUV’s, powered tools, hydraulic rescue equipment, radios, communication equipment and generators. The great majority of our maintenance work is performed in house by Firefighters Joseph Milosz (Certified Lead Mechanic) and Robert Fulginiti (Assistant Mechanic). The skilled and dedicated work of these men represents a substantial savings for the Town.

PERSONNEL We have added six (6) new members to the Call Department in 2018 to replace members who have left for other opportunities and/or retired over the last couple of years.

176 FORESTRY DIVISION

Nick Repekta, Tree Warden

Trimming and removal of shade trees was carried out throughout the year. Branches that have been weakened by storms were removed, and trees considered a hazard along the roadside were removed. This work was performed by a contractor and some of the work was done by utilizing Highway Division personnel and equipment. With the Asian Longhorned Beetle being found in Worcester and some surrounding towns, this has changed the tree industry. The entire Town of Shrewsbury is in the quarantine zone which means all tree removal, trimming of host trees and composting operations have changed. All work was done in compliance with Asian Longhorned Beetle regulations. Residents may find updated information related to the Asian Longhorned Beetle on the Town Website. The Forestry Division would like to thank John Knipe, Jr., who retired in August of 2018, for his many years of service to the Town of Shrewsbury as Tree Warden.

177 BOARD OF HEALTH

Stephen Vigeant, Chairman Maria Narducci, MD, Member Jordan Rubin, Member – term ended 06/30/18 Jennie Fishman, MPH, Member – term started 07/01/18

HEALTH DEPARTMENT

Karyn E. Clark, MA, MPA, Director of Public Health Central MA Regional Public Health Alliance Kerry M. Stockwell, Administrative Assistant

The Board of Health promulgates guidelines and regulations concerning the safety and well-being of the public. The Board also engages in public health emergency preparedness planning, communicable disease control, community health improvement planning, immunizations, solid waste and recycling, on-site sewage disposal, recreational camp and public pool inspection, food safety and protection, housing and nuisance type complaints such as noise, dust, and odor. The Board is a three member elected board with each member serving a term of three years. In 2010, the Town of Shrewsbury entered into an inter-municipal agreement with the City of Worcester’s Division of Public Health (WDPH) in order to provide an even wider array of public health services to the community. WDPH is the lead agency of the Central MA Regional Public Health Alliance (CMRPHA) which consists of the Towns of Grafton, Holden, Leicester, Millbury, Shrewsbury and West Boylston who work cooperatively to create and sustain a viable, cost-effective, and labor- efficient regional public health district serving a total population of 283,664 residents. Member communities are provided a range of services through a single organization managed by WDPH. The inspiration to develop a regional health district arose from the considerable disparity in size, available resources and types of resources offered by each municipality. In 2015, CMRPHA conducted a comprehensive Community Health Assessment (CHA) in Shrewsbury and surrounding Alliance communities in order to determine priority areas for health improvement. After analyzing local and state data as well as reviewing the qualitative data garnered from community forums, the Alliance identified 9 key areas of public health. Those areas are the foundation for the 2016 Greater Worcester Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) which has the vision of creating the “Healthiest Region in New England by 2020” #healthy2020. More information can be found at www.healthycentralma.com. WDPH / CMRPHA achieved a major goal in 2016 by becoming the first nationally accredited health department in the Commonwealth and the first multi-jurisdictional health department in the country (out of approximately 5,000 health departments in the United States). This 5 year accreditation marks a new culture within the CMRPHA; working creatively and collaboratively to achieve excellence and sustainability with a focus on constant quality improvement.

178 Environmental Health Regional Public Health staff help ensure businesses and residents comply with numerous environmental health regulations. Most recognized is the food protection program, in which staff conducts routine and follow-up inspections of more than 187 food establishments. In addition, staff will review plans and specifications for new food businesses, investigate complaints and conduct administrative hearings with the Director and/or the Board of Health to address non-compliant businesses. Regional Public Health Specialists conduct inspections for semi-public swimming pools, tanning facilities and recreational camps for children, and investigate complaints related to housing, lead paint, illegal dumping, the release of oil or hazardous materials, and nuisances in accordance with the following regulations: Chapter V of the State Sanitary Code: Minimum Standards for Swimming Pools, 105 CMR 435.000; Chapter VII of the State Sanitary Code: Minimum Standards for Bathing Beaches, 105 CMR 445.000; Recreational Camps for Children and family style campgrounds, motels, mobile home parks and cabins; and annually issue licenses for these facilities, M.G.L. c.140, ss.32B and 32C; and Chapter IV of the State Sanitary Code: Sanitary Standards for Recreational Camps for Children,105 CMR 430.000. The CMRPHA region has witnessed an increase in Farmers Markets within its communities and neighboring municipalities continuing into next year as local foods continue to be popular. Below is a summary of the types and number of inspections conducted in the Town of Shrewsbury during the calendar year 2018: Category Number of Inspections Risk Type 1-2 94 Risk Type 3-4 253 Food Hub 13 Emergency Response 10 Pre-operational food establishment inspections 5 Total of Routine Food Inspections 375 Total of “Other” Food Inspections (seasonal, temp) 95 Health Plan Reviews Food Establishments 4

Communicable Disease Under Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 111, suspected and/or confirmed cases of diseases dangerous to the public’s health are reportable to the local Board of Health and/or the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Reporting disease occurrences enables the Public Health staff to monitor trends, detect and control outbreaks, and evaluate prevention activities. WDPH/CMRPHA regularly collects important information on all reported diseases in the Town of Shrewsbury as part of routine epidemiological disease investigations.

180 The following is a summary of the reported diseases (confirmed) in Shrewsbury during calendar year 2018 unless otherwise noted. Reportable Disease Number of Cases Babesiosis 4 Calicivirus/Norovirus 1 Campylobacteriosis 5 Giardiasis 2 Group B streptococcus 4 Hepatitis A 2 Hepatitis C 8 Human Granulocytic Anaplasmosis 1 Influenza 65 Lyme disease (suspect) 39 Pertussis 2 Salmonellosis 3 Streptococcus pneumonia 2 Total 138 Tuberculosis TB-Active: 3 (1 confirmed, 1 revoked, 1 suspect) LTBI: 47 (confirmed, suspect) Direct Observation Therapy (DOT): 83

Community Health CMRPHA, through the City of Worcester, continued to receive $100,000 per year from the Massachusetts Opioid Abuse Prevention Collaborative (MOAPC) grant and $100,000 per year from the Substance Addiction Prevention Collaborative grant, focused on preventing opioid overdose and underage drinking. Across the Alliance, awareness events, education and training activities are taking place to build community capacity to respond to and prevent drug and alcohol addiction. These efforts include capacity building, through the meetings of the Regional Response to Addiction Partnership (RRAP), and prevention technical assistance such as Narcan administration education and community awareness messages. WDPH staff attends the monthly Shrewsbury Coalition for Addiction Prevention and Education (SCAPE) meetings and provide prevention resources and information. Staff use the evidence-based Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) assisting communities to create comprehensive strategies for youth substance use prevention. As an active and supporting member of SCAPE WDPH staff presented Youth Health Survey data on the panel for the event “Middle Schoolers at Risk: What Every Family Needs To Know Now” sponsored by the Shrewsbury Coalition For Addiction Prevention & Education. The event was open to the public and held at Shrewsbury Oak Middle School on November 13th from 6pm- 9pm. With funding from the MOAPC grant Shrewsbury Police Department held medication disposal events in alignment with the DEA on 4/28/18 and 10/27/18 at the Shrewsbury Senior Center. On Thursday, May 17 WDPH hosted a presentation by the Attorney General’s office on promulgating local marijuana regulations for policy makers in the region.

181 Each year WDPH collects data to monitor the health of youth in the town. The Shrewsbury Middle School and the High School completed the Regional Youth Health Survey in late 2017. This data is used to assess youth health trends over time and identify priorities for prevention. The data was analyzed in 2018 and presented to the Shrewsbury School Wellness Advisory Committee in October 2018. The aggregate Regional Youth Health Survey data is also reported to MDPH for several regional grants and supports allocation of prevention funding by MDPH back to the region. To collect data in support of the 2018 CHA, staff worked with the consultant agency JSI, Inc. to hold three community forums in May. Forums were held in Shrewsbury (May 2nd), Grafton (May 9th) and Worcester (May 23). In addition 2,275 responses were collected from a public online survey, 8 focus groups were held and completed 40 key informant interviews. The CHA survey was also administered by community health staff on-site at the Tough Guise 2 Screening in Shrewsbury and St. Anne’s Clinic in Shrewsbury. Community members were very engaged in the CHA process and provided great insight to the issues that are affecting health in the alliance region. The Town of Shrewsbury is a member of the Worcester Regional Tobacco Control Collaborative, which provides enforcement of Mass General Laws and local regulations around youth access and environmental tobacco smoke. Throughout the year, retailer education visits were conducted to ensure all applicable permits and signage are displayed, humidors are locked, and Massachusetts tax stamps are on tobacco products, all tobacco products are behind the counter and out of the customer’s reach and the importance of checking identification. Below is a summary of the types and number of tobacco inspections conducted in Shrewsbury during the calendar year 2018: Number of retail inspections completed 52: Number of violations 6 Number of legal sales age compliance checks 67: Number of failed compliance checks 5 This summer, the Academic Health Collaborative of Worcester (AHCW), our academic partnership to advance public health initiatives, hosted several community health outreach interns. The interns attended the Shrewsbury Farmers Market weekly and WDPH staff and interns hosted an information table at the September 2018 Spirit of Shrewsbury, disseminating general public health information such as substance use prevention, emergency preparedness and high blood pressure information. The AHCW partnered with UMass Medical School Prevention Research Center to hold the first Community Health Grand Rounds: Tackling the Opioid Crisis held in Worcester by Dr. Thomas Land. The talk included information about what Massachusetts linked databases tell us about potential next steps in addressing the opioid epidemic. On May 1st, the AHCW hosted Academia Addresses the Opioid Crisis at Clark University. This event brought presidents, deans, and faculty from eight area colleges together with staff to discuss the role academic institutions can play in addressing the opioid crisis.

182 Public Health Emergency Preparedness The Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s (MDPH) Office of Preparedness and Emergency Management (OPEM) has developed Health and Medical Coordinating Coalitions (HMCC) in each of the six regions throughout the state. In each region, OPEM has chosen a Sponsoring Organization to oversee the fiscal, administrative, and programmatic aspects of the HMCC grant. In Region 2, the WDPH has served as the Sponsoring Organization for the past two years. Each HMCC is tasked with completing deliverables designed to foster a multi-disciplinary, regionalized approach during all phases of an emergency: preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. As a member of the Region 2 HMCC, the Town of Shrewsbury has access to increased resources and is a part of regional planning efforts. As Sponsoring Organization, WDPH is considered the regional Emergency Support Function 8 (ESF-8); in an emergency, WDPH would coordinate resource requests and allocation, and provide situational awareness for all healthcare organizations and local public health departments in the seventy-four cities and towns that make up Region 2. Currently, twenty-five community members from the Town of Shrewsbury are registered Medical Reserve Corps volunteers. With that said, as a member of the Worcester Regional Medical Reserve Corps (WRMRC), the Town would have access to all 429 registered volunteers within the WRMRC in the event of an emergency. As with previous years, Emergency Preparedness staff worked in conjunction with the Shrewsbury Board of Health to review and revise the Town’s Emergency Dispensing Site (EDS) plan. In FY18, Emergency Preparedness staff also worked with the BOH to develop and conduct an exercise testing the set-up of the EDS, in fulfillment of state and federal deliverables. The Shrewsbury Board of Health was also in compliance with and participated in all quarterly WebEOC emergency reporting drills conducted by MDPH.

183 HIGHWAY DIVISION

Nick Repekta, Highway Division Manager

During the winter of 2017-2018, there were eight (8) plowable snowstorms with a total of 70.5 inches of snow. The first snowfall was on December 9, 2017 and the last on April 14-15, 2018. Plowing is carried out only when a storm accumulates three inches or more of snow. Snow and ice control was maintained by sixteen pieces of heavy equipment and two sidewalk plows. Highway personnel, as well as eight trucks from other departments, were used during snowstorms. The Town also used twenty three private contractors utilizing thirty six pieces of equipment. The Division used 2,119 tons of sand, 3,928 tons of salt, and 6,200 gallons de- Icing Liquid. Every effort was made by this division to limit the amount of salt used on roadways and yet still maintain a safe driving environment. The task of maintaining the many miles of public and private streets in 2017-18 was carried out by the Highway Division, which consists of a Superintendent, one Motor Equipment Repair Foreman, one Mechanic, one Foreman, six Equipment Operators and one clerk. Responsibilities of the Highway Division include maintenance of town equipment, roads, traffic lines, storm drainage, installation of traffic and street signs, brush control along roadways, snow and ice control, resurfacing, and sealing of streets. There are 153.61 miles of town roads. The division is also responsible for snow and ice control on private streets which have a total of 12.48 miles and 2.01 miles of subdivision streets which have not yet been accepted by the Town. Since the closing of the Town’s sanitary landfill located on the Hartford Turnpike (Route 20), this department has seen an increase of illegally disposed of rubbish and building debris along public ways. During the course of the year, personnel and equipment from this division have been utilized to pick up and dispose of this material.

SIDEWALK PLOWING Sidewalks in the vicinity of schools are plowed, which includes thirty-eight streets with approximately 21.7 miles of sidewalk. This work is performed by two sidewalk plows operated by division personnel and outside seasonal staff.

SAND BARRELS Sand barrels are placed in fifteen (15) locations at the Town buildings and maintained by the Highway Division.

184 DRIVEWAY PERMITS Shrewsbury residents who resurface, reconstruct, or construct a new driveway are required to apply at the Highway Division office for a permit. These permits allow this division a method of controlling the manner in which this work is done. There were a total of forty five (45) permits issued during 2018.

STREET AND SIDEWALK SWEEPING Sweeping of streets and sidewalks were done from Wednesday, April 5th through July 2, 2018. Two sweepers were used for one shift operation. We continue to sweep as necessary throughout the course of the year.

TRAFFIC LINES A private contractor completed reflective traffic lines on twenty nine streets totaling 174,842 feet. A private contractor was used to paint crosswalks, parking lots and legends throughout the Town.

RE- SURFACING (MACHINE LAID) TYPE I Bituminous Concrete Type I asphalt was applied to the following streets. The Town appropriated funds and reimbursement was received under the Highway State Aid Program.

Reimbursement 100% Street Length (in feet) Amount (in tons) Almondwood Circle 405 250 p/o Bridal Path 1,050 550 Camelot Drive 5,175 2,650 Castle Road 200 100 Centech Blvd. 5,160 3,300 Galahad Road 250 130 Heath Road 925 400 p/o Knights Road 250 135 Total of 100% Streets

BRUSH CONTROL During the year, brush was cut along public roads utilizing department personnel, using a tractor and brush-cutting machine. The fleet mechanics are a part of the Highway Division and they service and repair approximately 110 vehicles for all of the DPW Divisions and the Police Department. Types of vehicles include but are not limited to: Dump Trucks,

185 Loaders, Backhoes, Salt Spreaders, Snow Plows, Sweepers, Mowers, Pickup Trucks and Police Cruisers. With the change in technology our mechanics role in diagnosing typical problems have become more difficult. They have had training and put in service our own computer diagnostic tools. Our mechanics perform a significant amount of fabrication work in house to rebuild our aging equipment to keep the pieces in service. The Highway Division purchased two new pieces of equipment and they were put into service upon delivery. 2018 Elgin Pelican Street Sweeper replaced a 2003 Elgin Pelican. Also, a 2018 Prinoth SW4s Sidewalk plow replaced a 2003 Bombardier Sw48. The two machines that were replaced were sold at public auction. The new High Arch gambrel Salt Shed was built and put into service in 2018. The new Salt Shed replaces the original shed that was constructed with the existing Highway Garage in 1979. The new shed has a maximum capacity of about 5,000 tons. In 2018 the Highway Division wished a happy retirement to Superintendent John Knipe after 36 years in the position, Mechanic Foreman Jim Libbey with 24 years and Administrative Assistant Karin Hemmerdinger with 30 years. Nick Repekta moved into the newly created Division Manager position. Ed Hayes was named Foreman. Joel Kimball was named Mechanic Foreman. The Highway Division also welcomed new Mechanic, Ryan Lavallee and Heavy Equipment Operator Jeff Robinson. In closing, I would like to thank SELCO, the Engineering, Parks and Cemetery, Water and Sewer and Public Buildings Divisions for their continued help with projects throughout the year. I would especially like to thank the employees of the Highway Division for their hard work and dedication throughout the year. Nick Repekta Highway Division Manager

186 HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION

John Campbell. Chairman Robert Cox Kristine Gustafson Donald Hutchins Melanie Petrucci Allyn Taylor Henry Wood

The Historic District Commission has jurisdiction over two designated Historic Districts in the Town of Shrewsbury: • The Artemus Ward homestead owned and maintained by Harvard University • The Historic District in the center of Shrewsbury which extends north of Main Street to include the Town Common, the First Congregational Church, the 1830 Schoolhouse and the southeast section of Mountain View Cemetery. It also includes the historic homes in the Town Center. The main function of the Historic District Commission is to review and act upon requests to change, alter, remove, demolish or otherwise modify exterior architectural features within the District. The primary charge is to maintain the historic significance of Shrewsbury’s Town Center. The Historic District Commission was originally established by a vote of the Board of Selectmen and executes its responsibility under Chapter 40C of the General Laws of Massachusetts, the bylaws of the Town of Shrewsbury and the guidelines of the U.S. Department of Interior. It also coordinates with the Massachusetts Historic Commission. Finally, the Historic District Commission coordinates with the Town Building Inspection Department in regards to permits within the District. After comprehensive review and deliberation the Committee issues Certificates of Appropriateness, Certificates of Hardship, and Certificates of Non-appropriateness as required. Over the past year we have approved exterior modifications to include the historic 1806 Slocum House at 10 Prospect Street. We have reviewed and approved new windows and exterior signage at the Shrewsbury Historical Society. Finally, we approved modifications to the external antenna array in the steeple of the First Congregational Church to make them less visible and to maintain the historic nature of the Church steeple. The Historic District Commission is actively working on a project to clean and preserve the Artemas Ward Gates and Monument in the old section of the cemetery. We are also involved in locating a buried Town Common marker from the early 1700’s. Various Committee members are involved in the Shrewsbury Town Center Association, the Beal Revisioning Project, the Master Plan Implementation Committee, and the newly formed Historic Preservation Committee.

The Shrewsbury Historical Commission is a board of seven town residents who are appointed by the town manager. Local historical commissions are governed by Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 40, Section 8D, under which a local commission conducts research for places of historic or archeological value, cooperates with the state archeologist in conducting such research or other surveys, and coordinates the activities of unofficial bodies organized for similar purposes. For the purpose of protecting and preserving places of historic or archeological value, it may make such recommendations to the Massachusetts Historical Commission that any such place be certified as an historical or archeological landmark. It shall report to the state archeologist the existence of any archeological, paleontological or historical site or object discovered before or during projects conducted by state bodies or by bodies funded or licensed by the state, in accordance with M.G.L. Ch. 9, §27C. Furthermore, local historical commissions are consulted in cases of federally funded projects affecting historic properties, in accordance with the federal National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, §106. The Historical Commission meets on the 1st Thursday of the month, except July and August. Meetings begin promptly at 7:00 pm at Town Hall. Agendas are available prior to the meetings. Minutes are available following approval. In 2018, the Shrewsbury Historical Commission: • Continued to compile an inventory of historic properties in town.

Shrewsbury Housing Authority is a politic, corporate and duly organized public housing agency. State and Federal lawmakers promulgate rules and regulations by which the housing authority must abide. The authority’s funding is received directly from state and federal agencies. A five-member Board of Commissioners oversees the authority by providing leadership and advice, advocating for current and future housing. As public officials, they hold meetings according to M.G.L. chapter 39 sections 2B of open meeting law. Meetings are on the second Tuesday of the month and open to the public. We post all meetings with the Town Clerk at the Town Hall with a copy of our agenda at the Police Department. The Executive Director is responsible for the day-to-day administration of Federal and State programs. Together the Executive Director and Board of Commissioners form a powerful force in serving those in need within this community. The current Board of Commissioners, Executive Director and Deputy Director are listed below: Commissioners: Paul Campaniello, Richard Ricker, Gayle Vigeant, Kathy McSweeney, and Bruce Pardee Executive Director: Kelly Bergeron

The Shrewsbury Housing Authority has been a vital link to the community since it held its first meeting on January 4, 1963. The housing authority’s success can be attribute to the hard work of individuals with the vision to bring affordable housing to the town. Over the past forty years the authority has grown and evolved. The need for affordable housing is evident in the long waiting list for underserved town residents, tough economic times heightens our awareness of the need to preserve and create affordable housing in the town of Shrewsbury.

BOARD OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES The Library Board of Trustees meets the fourth Tuesday of every month (excluding July and August) at 7:00 p.m. at the Shrewsbury Public Library.

The library’s programs and services are governed by a Strategic Plan, which typically covers a three to five year period. Library staff then implement the Strategic Plan by developing an Annual Action Plan, which identifies which goals from the plan will receive attention in the coming fiscal year.

The previous strategic plan, which was created in 2011, expired in FY2018.

In the fall of 2017, the Board of Library Trustees launched a new strategic planning process to develop a plan to cover fiscal years 2020 through 2024. The planning process was based on the Public Library Association’s planning model entitled Strategic Planning for Results. This planning model embraces the idea that excellence must be defined locally and focus on local needs. It also recognizes that excellence can be achieved through strong commitment to service focused on user needs – and through a desire for continued improvement. As part of this planning process, the Trustees launched a proactive information gathering process that sought input from across the community, both within and outside of the library. The process included: -- Establishment of a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) consisting of 18 members representing various sectors and interests in the community, led by Library Planning Consultant Nancy Rea. The CPC’s role was to advise the Board of Library Trustees on the appropriate service priorities the library should focus on in coming years. -- Consideration of the results of a community survey conducted as part of the planning study. The survey was mailed to every residence in Shrewsbury (over 14,000 homes), distributed in the Library and made available on the library website. In addition to online submittal, drop off options included the library, the Town Clerk’s office and the Senior Center. One hundred sixty-five responses were received -- A planning focus group workshop with Library staff -- Review of demographic data from the Town’s Master Plan Development Committee and the latest US Census data. 193 • We wish to thank the Community Advisory Council for their guidance and contributions, as well as the generous time given by each member. Their thoughtful contributions enlarged our understanding of the needs of the community and helped us set suitable priorities for future activities. The Community Advisory Council Members were: -- Arathi Cowlagi, member of India Society of Worcester and member of the Friends of the Library Board of Directors -- Gregg Dass, Family Services Counselor -- Marc Serra, Executive Director of Shrewsbury Media Connection -- Cassidy DeMalia, Shrewsbury Public Library Advisory Team (SPLAT) member, teen volunteer, part-time library employee -- Nancy Gilbert, Library Trustee, Chair of the Shrewsbury Public Library Foundation -- Kathy Johnson, English Conversation Circle teacher at Shrewsbury Public Library -- Deborah Deldotto, Member of Shrewsbury Commission on Disability -- Bob Boulay, Manager of Operations Engineering, Metso -- Caitlin McKeon, Reference Librarian, Shrewsbury Public Library -- Waldo Zamor, Physician, UMass Med, active in public health community -- Charlotte Budge, Technical Services Assistant, Shrewsbury Public Library -- Dr. B. Dale Magee, member of Shrewsbury School Community -- Tony Marin, ESL Teacher in Framingham Public School, has taught Spanish language classes at the library, and is a current English Conversation Circle teacher at Shrewsbury Public Library -- Maribeth Lynch, Member of Town Master Plan Committee, served on the Library’s Capital Campaign Leadership team and is a local realtor -- Jenny Wang, Volunteer Math Instructor at Shrewsbury Public Library, longtime library volunteer -- Lynne Ticho, St. Anne’s Human Services volunteer -- April Jones Prince, active library user, nationally known children’s author, parent of young children -- Amy Clouter, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, Administration, Shrewsbury Public Schools -- • For the development of the FY2019 Action Plan, which was approved by the Board of Library Trustees on October 24, 2017, we took direction from the old strategic plan.

The full details of the Strategic Plan and Annual Action Plan can be found on the library website.

At the April 2018 Board meeting, the Board of Trustees acknowledged the contributions of two members who were leaving the board. Laurie Hogan and Jack Avis chose not to run for another term, opening the board for new members.

194 Trustee Chair Clare O’Connor thanked Laurie and Jack for their incredible contributions to the library and to the community. Ms. Hogan was praised for her amazing commitment to the building project and the related capital campaign. Ms. O’Connor noted that the renovated and expanded building would not have occurred without Laurie’s political talents, advocacy skills, and dogged determination. Her leadership and contributions to the development of the library cannot be overstated. Mr. Avis was commended for his steady voice and quiet support of and advocacy for the library, providing stable guidance and important advice at key times in our library’s history. A rocking chair for the children’s courtyard was dedicated to Jack with a plaque with his name and noting his 10 years of service as a trustee. A mirrored plaque with an etching of the library building was presented to Laurie for her 12 years of service as a Trustee and as Chairperson of the board.

Online Services Three new online tools were added in fiscal year 2018: • The SPL app, providing an easy means to search and place holds on books, movies, and more; download or stream free media from the library; learn about library events and programs; and much more! Available at http://shrewsbury. boopsie.com/ • Niche Academy, which features video tutorials on a range of learning topics, including most of the library’s e-resources. • Learning Express, which provides online access to a comprehensive selection of academic and career-related resources for skills building, test preparation, and workplace growth.

Other online tools, most of which have been provided for many years, include: • Online museum pass booking service, allowing patrons to view and book available museum passes from their home computers; • Online registration program for library events and activities; • Brainfuse HelpNow, a live chat based tutorial service available to Shrewsbury K-12 students at no charge; • Online language instruction; • Online computer instruction;

196 • Online genealogy tools; • Downloads and streaming of music, video, e-books, and e-audio books for all ages and the online catalog, allowing patrons to -- View the holdings of the Shrewsbury Public Library and more than one hundred fifty other libraries in Central and Western Massachusetts, -- Reserve titles online, sending them to their desired library for pick-up, -- Renew library materials online and receive email reminders of books and other materials about to come due, and -- View their own transactions such as items checked out, outstanding reserves, fines due, etc. The Trustees approved use of $10,000 in funds from the library’s Olive I. and Anthony A. Borgatti Library Trust Fund for audio materials in both hard copy and online format. This important annual contribution to collection funding helps the library keep up with the growing demand for audio materials.

FINANCIAL AND LEGISLATIVE The Fiscal Year 2019 Library Budget approved by Town Meeting in May 2018 was a 5% increase over the prior year. It provided partial funding of $17,000 for a full-time Youth Services Assistant, with the remaining amount of $31,000 to be funded from Library State Aid Funds. This position is intended to serve needs in both the children’s room and the teen area. The employee will assist with children’s programming during morning hours and serve in the teen room during the afternoons, providing a steady adult presence in this busy area each weekday afternoon. Additional Library State Aid funds were used to cover an overrun of close to $9,000 in the Salary & Wage Account for the closeout of the prior fiscal year. This overrun resulted from additional staffing needed for the timely opening of the new building, additional part-time support used to respond to the major increase in library use by young teens, and substitute staffing coverage needed to cover two long-term disability absences and position vacancies.

GRANTS AND GIFTS In fiscal year 2018 the library secured many generous grants and donations to improve library programs and services: We continued the Memory Café program, for which we had received a federal $10,000 Library Services and Technology Act Grant for use during fiscal years 2017 and 2018. We also began investigating options for funding to continue the program post-grant period. By the end of fiscal year 2018, we were writing a grant application to the Greater Worcester Community Foundation. In order to protect Library Trust Fund assets for future needs, the Board of Library Trustees voted to limit trust fund expenditures to the net investment income of the prior fiscal year. Therefore they approved $10,000 of funds from the Olive I. and Anthony A. Borgatti Library Trust Fund to be used for library materials in audio 197 format during fiscal year 2018. Projecting for the coming fiscal year they approved $9,521.00 from the same fund for audio materials during fiscal year 2019. Trust fund expenditures for library materials over the past decade were approximately $20,000 per year. In August of 2017, one of our oldest library patrons and supporters, 95 year old Mary Jordalen, passed on. Her family directed gifts in her memory to the library. Part of the gifts were used for additional furniture in children’s courtyard, with the remainder reserved to support a future grant application being filed in 2018 to develop learning spaces in the children’s room. During fiscal year 2018 we submitted an application to the Library Services and Technology Act program for a grant to fund improvements to the interior and exterior play spaces in the children’s room: our goal was to develop a “play lab” based on the “Mind in the Making” initiative, which encourages creative play and promotes the development of key life skills in young children. In summer 2017, a local historian suggested a possible future bequest of a collection related to Shrewsbury history. In order to make space in the existing local history room, the Director and Trustees began examining options for donating some historical materials currently in the Ward Room to the Harvard University/ Artemas Ward House and Museum. The Shrewsbury Federal Credit Union made two important donations to the library in 2018. They donated $1,500 to fund a STEAM Punks program, a special four- day vacation week camp style series that included a LEGO robot programming workshop, a science experiment series, a marionette manipulation workshop with the Tanglewood Marionettes, a math and logic challenge, and a phone camera film festival. There were also presentations and exercises from the Girls Who Code organization and the Museum of Science in Boston. They also provided $700 to fund the library’s annual Wake Up Wimpy event, an early morning breakfast party for 60 children and their families, all to celebrate the release of a new book in the Wimpy Kid series. In October 2018, the Board of Trustees dedicated a clock in memory of Edwin (Ted) Coughlin, who was a library neighbor, supporter, and advocate. A dedication with Ted’s family was held in the reading area on second floor, where the clock hangs. The Library received a $5,000 grant from the Greater Worcester Community Foundation, to continue the English Conversation Circle program. The Shrewsbury Parks & Recreation Department donated two passes to the Massachusetts State Parks, for use by library patrons. SELCO continues to provide free coffee sleeves, for the hot drinks served via the vending machine in our café area. The Sunday Sponsorship program continued for a twelfth year, with generous donors providing all the funding needed for the 2018 season. Thanks to the contributions of individuals, businesses, and civic groups, library users were able to enjoy a full season of Sunday hours from October 1, 2017 to May 20, 2019. Twenty four donors provided over $16,000 in sponsorships, ensuring library service at the newly expanded library from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. each Sunday afternoon. 198 During those 31 afternoons, users enjoyed over 17,000 visits and borrowed close to 24,000 items. Dr. B. Dale and Mrs. Melanie Magee and Robert (Chief Joseph) Terkanian each provided funds for three Sundays. Providing two Sundays each were Dean Park Grill and Pizza owner Mr. Christo Baltas, Daniels Insurance Agency, Inc. and the Olive I. and Anthony A. Borgatti Jr. Donor Advised Fund of the Greater Worcester Community Foundation. Individual Sunday sponsorships came from Central One Federal Credit Union; Bill and Nancy Robbins in Memory of Dorby Thomas; Mount Olivet Lutheran Church in memory of Dorby Thomas; an anonymous donor in memory of John J. Morrissey; an anonymous donor in Remembrance of Harry Der Harootunian; the Rotary Club of Shrewsbury; Joyce Hyde; David and Kathleen Rocheleau; Mount Olivet Lutheran church in memory Ken Dearden; Carmella Heedles in Memory of James A. Heedles; Jay Somers in memory of Buckie Somers; Jeff and Priscilla Billingham; Olivia, Peg, and Don Harbert; Susan and Zak Cramer in honor of Natalie and Allen Cramer; Unibank for Savings; Pat Silvestri in Memory of Elizabeth Woodring; Shrewsbury Garden Club in honor of Earth Day; the Bachini Family in Memory of Ruth Seward; and Joan Barry. The Board of Library Trustees approved disbursements from Library State Aid and Library Trust Funds totaling over $40,000 to provide the following: • Audio books and other online audio content; • Support of special projects such as staff development, Veteran’s Day receptions, and other public events • Support of personnel costs; • Support of Summer Reading Program activities; • Museum passes, supplies and more; • Additional part time staffing hours for program coverage, substitute coverage, and more.

The library offered its adult users a wealth of opportunities for growth and enrichment this year: • The library received a $5,000 grant from the Greater Worcester Community Foundation for the sixth consecutive year to continue the popular English Conversation Circle program that serves adult non-native speakers of English.

We appreciated the increased capacity to manage the great volume of teen users who visited our teen section, and looked forward to beginning the work of building strong relationships with our tween and teen users. The following is a sampling of other Library service initiatives in fiscal year 2018: • In the spring of 2018, the Shrewsbury Trails Committee installed a Story Walk on library walkways for area children and families to enjoy.

204 • In November 2017, the Library Director convened a work group consisting of local educators, parents, health agency staff and youth services staff from Shrewsbury Public Library to advise her on safety and management concerns for the large influx of teens visiting the library after school, especially on Friday afternoons and early release days. • Reference Librarian Caitlin McKeon developed a Disaster and Preservation Plan for the Library. • Following the Town’s Veteran’s Day Ceremony, the Trustees and the Friends sponsored a reception for area veterans and residents. • The library continues the Memory Café program, which meets the first and third Friday of each month. • The library participated in the Spirit of Shrewsbury Expo, offering an exciting prize wheel to draw visitors to the library booth and allowing each visitor to win a small prize. • The library continued its partnership with the School Department’s RECESS summer reading program. • We continued to offer exam proctoring for students taking online courses. During this fiscal year we proctored 17 such exams; most of which were for adult learners. • In the spring of 2018, Library Director Ellen Dolan participated in a new group interested in enhancing and supporting the town center. The first meeting was held in April and within a few short months the group evolved into the Shrewsbury Town Center Association, whose mission is "to improve, enhance, and foster economic and cultural development in the Town Center district of Shrewsbury.”

TECHNICAL SERVICES The Technical Services Department, which is responsible for acquiring, cataloging, and processing all print and online resources, had a busy year. • In fall 2017, we began work to support the strategic planning process. Through group discussions and patron surveys, we gathered information on how to best develop our collections to fulfill patrons needs and requests within the constraints of funding and collection space. We continue to evaluate the collection and space for optimum collection development. • In the winter and spring of 2018 we began preparations for our new Evergreen web-client software that was to be introduced May 2018. Staff attended several workshops, webinars, and training sessions to prepare for Evergreen 3.0. As part of this upgrade, staff updated cataloging templates and re-catalogued many items to be ready for this transition. • From April through June 2018, the Technical Services Department evaluated the collection, as we received changes to the schools’ summer reading lists. The PBS Great American Read challenge for the adult summer reading program was introduced. Many items were added, replaced, and re-catalogued to fulfill these lists.

205 OUTREACH Outreach Librarian Deb Mayo continued to expand her service to homebound patrons, nursing homes, pre-schools, and daycares. She visited preschools with presentations about the care and handling of library materials, as well as provided story times throughout the year. Homebound and nursing home patrons report that they look forward to outreach service visits and Deb goes out of her way to be sure they get the materials they need. She continues to show what a valuable and appreciated service this has become.

TECHNOLOGY During fiscal year 2018 the Library’s technology work continued apace with the Electronic Resources Librarian and the Technology Specialist spending significant time ensuring continued compatibility between Windows 10 and various library specific hardware and software. In May the C/W MARS library consortium transitioned from using an executable Integrated Library System client to a purely web-based platform. The transition included a considerable amount of preparation, including configuring PCs and printers appropriately, training staff on the new interface, and coordinating with network staff site. Ultimately the transition was very smooth and staff quickly adjusted to all necessary changes in workflow. The Electronic Resources Librarian has continued to coordinate with the C/W MARS central site to keep staff abreast of all adjustments and updates to the web client as they are rolled out. Due to the popularity of the library’s group study rooms, the library initiated a trial subscription of Assabet Interactive’s room booking software. The software allowed library staff to easily book and monitor group study room usage. After a successful trial, the Electronic Resources Librarian and the Technology Specialist worked to launch the self-booking functions in the program. The Technology Specialist created a custom PC kiosk specifically designed to allow patrons to easily book group study rooms while at the library. Patrons can now book their own group study room, in-person or online, thus simplifying the workflow at the reference desk and allowing reference staff to focus more on user needs. The Electronic Resources Librarian continued his involvement with the C/W MARS Development Committee, working with other staff from throughout the network to determine how to best allocate development funding in order to maximize the efficiency of Evergreen updates and bug fixes. Presently a large portion of the C/W MARS development funding is devoted to improving search functions within the Evergreen online catalog. The library replaced Tutor.com, the online tutoring service the library has offered for several years, with HelpNow by the company Brainfuse. HelpNow offers a number of additional study tools beyond what was offered by Tutor.com and is priced more competitively. Though the library has only had HelpNow for several months, at this point its usage stats appear consistent with those of Tutor.com. Unfortunately, a significant amount of the Electronic Resources Librarian’s and the Technology Specialist’s time in 2018 was devoted to maintaining and repairing the automated materials handling unit, as the door to the exterior return continued 206 to have mechanical issues. Both staff members worked with Bibliotheca and Lyngsoe technicians on several occasions to troubleshoot and conduct repairs of the sorter and occasionally the conveyors. At the time of this report, Lyngsoe is creating a custom-built mount for the outside return, which they believe will finally alleviate the frequent issues. The Technology Specialist and Electronic Resources Librarian continued performing routine maintenance and repairs on all library equipment, including over 100 staff and public PCs, printers, and photocopiers, self-checks, digital display screens, projectors, and various other sundry pieces of technology necessary to run the library. Technology classes on topics such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, 3D printing, internet safety, and Facebook were once again offered at regular intervals throughout the year.

PERSONNEL Many staff changes occurred in 2018. • In January 2018, Interlibrary Loan Librarian Deb Alger retired after 20 years of service at the library. Deb first served on the outreach van and then at the circulation desk before assuming the duties of the inter-library loan service. Because of her unique way of making people feel welcomed and special, she had a great impact on the many visitors who made their way to the library. Shi Wen Chen was hired to fill the Interlibrary Loan Librarian position upon Deb Alger’s retirement. Having previously worked as a part-time employee in the circulation department, She Wen quickly and capably assumed the duties, ensuring continuation of strong resource sharing services. Amanda Bernat and Kim Barrett were then hired in the part time positions left vacant by Shi Wen, becoming strong parts of our circulation services team. • The Head of Children’s Services Sharon Martin retired in May of 2018 after 14 years of service to the library. She worked as a Children’s Librarian before assuming the responsibility of Head of Children’s Services in 2012, offering a range of creative programs, school visits, and activities to area children. • Sonja Drotar was hired as Head of Children’s Services in June of 2018, having previously worked as Children’s and Young Adult Librarian at Oak Bluffs Public Library. Sonja brought high level management experience, having also served as Acting Director of the same library. Working with our Children’s Room staff, she has created exceptional programming options for children birth through grade six. • Young Adult Librarian and Volunteer Coordinator Dan Barbour left for a supervisory position at the Westborough Public Library in May of 2018. Dan was a creative and committed librarian who offered innovative and fun programming to the community. He will be missed by many teens and community members. Annie Lee King, formerly of the Wellesley (MA) Public Library, joined us as Young Librarian and Volunteer Coordinator in July 2018, bringing enthusiasm and great experience working with children and teens. • Technology Specialist Mark Barry left the library in May 2018 to assume a position in academia. Mark’s behind the scenes work was instrumental in establishing 207 and launching the technology infrastructure in the new building which opened in the fall 2016. Arielle Sorenson, who came to us from Clark University, assumed the Technology Specialist position in June 2018, ably stepping in to help keep the library technology infrastructure running smoothly. • Sunday supervisor Peter Arsenault finished his last Sunday season in May 2017. Peter began work at SPL as a part-time assistant at the circulation desk in 2014 and assumed the Sunday supervisor position in May 2015, capably managing our busy Sunday afternoon services. Evan Hale was appointed as the new Sunday Supervisor for the coming year. New part-time employees joined us as part of the Sunday team, including Elizabeth Thompson and Bill Miskinis.

Library Director Ellen Dolan served on the Director Search Committee for the Leominster Public Library and spoke at the Massachusetts Library Association Annual Conference in May 2018, describing our library’s experience launching and running a Memory Café program. She was also a participant in the newly formed Shrewsbury Town Center Association. Library Director Ellen Dolan and Assistant Director Priya Rathnam attended the Library Journal Director’s Forum on “Futureproofing Your Library” in Philadelphia in November 2017. On May 7th and 8th, they attended a workshop organized by the Research Institute for Public Libraries, which encourages data-driven planning and advocacy for libraries. Library Director Ellen Dolan, Assistant Director Priya Rathnam, and Memory Café Coordinator Christina Zarobe spoke on the library’s experience launching a Memory Café program at the Dementia Friendly Community Conference held in November 2017 in Marlborough. Electronic Resources Librarian Mike Zeller served on the New England Library Association’s Conference Committee. A large group of staff volunteered at the Community Harvest Project in Grafton on one very hot day in the summer of 2018.

FACILITIES & EQUIPMENT The facility, in its second year of service, has proved to be well-designed and durable. While the number of visitors increases each year, the design of the building has accommodated this growth in usage without feeling crowded or overwhelmed. The uniquely designed spaces are effectively meeting the varied needs of library users. The materials and construction of the building are holding up very well to the high volume, showing few signs of wear. General facility news for fiscal year 2018: • In the summer of 2017 Library Administrators developed an Employee Emergency Response Plan and, with assistance from the Shrewsbury Police Department, staff received training on how to respond in emergency situations, with focus on response to violent or dangerous incidents. • In the fall of 2017 the Children’s Department was voted “Best Children’s Library”

208 by the readers of the Baystate Parents magazine. • The glass mosaic in the courtyard outside of the children’s room, designed and installed by mosaic artist David Fichter, was completed in summer 2017. We thank Robert (Chief Joseph) Terkanian for commissioning this incredible gift to the community. • Because of a problem with the welting on some chairs in the children’s room, they were replaced under warranty by the manufacturer. • In spring 2018 we hosted a meeting sponsored by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, for librarians in communities undertaking construction grant projects. Shrewsbury Public Library was noted as a model project. • While the building project had been completed during the prior fiscal year, one punch list item was being worked on in the summer of 2017. The decorative copper panels on the exterior of the building, which had experienced some buckling, were being replaced. The contractor and subcontractor covered all costs, with no expense to the town. • In spring 2017 we held a public “yard sale” for the surplus furniture and supplies at the Glavin Building, the former temporary headquarters of the library during the construction project. • The building design was awarded the Design Excellence Award by the American Institute of Architects, Central Massachusetts chapter. • In May of 2018, the Shrewsbury Historical Society awarded the Shrewsbury Public Library and Lamoureux Pagano Associates, Inc. the 2018 Renovation and Preservation Award, which was accepted by Library Director Ellen Dolan and architects Mike Pagano and Leo Parker.

FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY We thank the Friends of the Shrewsbury Public Library for their continued and increasing support of our town library. Membership continues to grow, providing funds for many activities. In 2018, the Friends provided close to $35,000 to support library programs and services. Below is a sampling of their activities and accomplishments during fiscal year 2018 • The Friends held their Annual Meeting on November 1, 2017 and marked the evening with a performance of “Challenger: Soaring with Christa McAuliffe!” by History At Play. • The ninth Annual Friends Foreign Film Festival provided international films and refreshments each Sunday in February. Thank you to Melissa Misiewicz for organizing this well received event for a ninth year! • The Friends Annual Book Sale was held from April 5 through April 8, 2018 and raised approximately $7,000 to help fund programs and services at the library. We offer special thanks to Sale Co-Chairs Claire Nagle and Patricia Segerson, who together contribute hundreds of volunteer hours to manage preparations for the annual sale. • The Friends hosted the Annual Holiday Open house the first Saturday in

209 December, which attracted hundreds of children and families. The Santa visit, crafts, games, refreshments and other holiday activities were enjoyed by the more than 1,200 people who attended. Thank you to Friends of the Library Program Chairs Melissa Misiewicz and Anne Ottoson for the months of preparation and planning, which made this free community event such a success. • A $1,500 scholarship was awarded to Maya McCollum, a Shrewsbury resident and a 2018 graduate of Shrewsbury High School. Maya will be attending the Commonwealth Honors College at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in the fall to study economics. • In partnership with the Shrewsbury Parks & Recreation Department, the Friends hosted two summer concerts at Dean Park, featuring Beatles for Sale on July 18 and Dan Gable and the Abletones on August 30, 2018. The Friends also funded a number of programs and services run by library staff, including: • Quarterly multi-cultural programs, beginner’s Spanish classes, writing workshops, and more; • Refreshments and basic supplies for the Memory Café program; • Children’s and teen programming including the popular Music ‘n Motion series, yoga for children, snacks and supplies for the Lego Club, and SPLAT programs including trivia contests and more; • A contract for the healthy vending machine in the Community Commons area; and • Museum passes. The Friend’s Board typically meets the first Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. from September through June. All are welcome to attend, but meeting attendance is not required for membership in this organization that is so vital to the library.

SHREWSBURY PUBLIC LIBRARY FOUNDATION

The non-profit Shrewsbury Public Library Foundation, in its tenth year of business, continued to manage funds in a prudent and careful manner. • With the start of a new year (January 2018), the Foundation Board reorganized and voted Nancy Gilbert as Chair, Jason Port as Treasurer, and Claire Nagle as Secretary. • Tom Josie, a founding member of the Foundation Board, retired in July 2017. We thank Tom for his thoughtful and careful work on behalf of the Foundation. • In September 2017 the Board of Library Trustees appointed Michael Pagano to the Trustee Board of the Foundation, filling the position left vacant upon Mr. Josie’s departure.

210 During fiscal year 2018, the Foundation Board focused on work to establish and build the library endowment. As noted in their updated mission statement, the role of the foundation during this endowment phase is to “support and enrich the capabilities and resources of the Shrewsbury Public Library”. It is “committed to long-term development and improvements for current and future generations”. The Foundation’s focus is on developing a base of perpetual financial support that will sustain our library’s legacy of excellence. The Foundation mobilizes private support to enhance our library’s offerings and is dedicated to the library’s tradition of excellence and its progressive approach to services, collections, programs and facilities.”

Foundation activities in fiscal year 2018 included: • In the fall of 2017 the foundation updated their mission statement and funding criteria for the endowment phase of the foundations work. • Work also began on creating a new foundation website that would better serve the work of building the endowment. • In 2018, the foundation introduced their new logo, shown above, which volunteer graphic designer Cristina Luther created. We thank Cristina for generously sharing her time and amazing talents! • In the fall of 2017 a volunteer committee worked on creating “The Shrewsbury Match Game” fundraiser event, based on the classic television show Match Game. -- Committee members included Jenna and Lucas Elliott, Christina Zarobe, Claire Nagle, Dean Gillam, Anjana Ganesh, Dan Barbour and Ellen Dolan. -- The fundraiser, held on March 17, 2017, raised over $5,000 for the library foundation.

211 THANK YOU TO STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS I am grateful for and extremely proud of our dedicated and capable library managers and staff. Their hard work and dedication responding to the growing numbers of users while offering new services and programs is just remarkable! In addition to a growing range of services and programs, library staff continue to be known for the warm welcome they provide to patrons every day. Thank you to the Public Buildings Department for doing such a fine job of managing our very busy public facility, especially our custodian Kristi Baldino. Thank you to our generous volunteers who perform many needed duties at the library. Close to 575 volunteers provided 4,627 service hours. They assisted with library programs, shelved books, conducted data entry, and assisted with program planning. They have managed promotional activities, helped prepare for craft and activity programs, helped with grant projects, and essentially stepped in whenever we asked for support. Our volunteers contribute greatly to the library services our community enjoys. At the 2018 volunteer recognition luncheon, library officials announced the winners of our Annual Volunteer Awards. The Teen Award was given to Daniel Kalashian for being a dedicated, pleasant, and active SPLAT member, shelving volunteer, and helper at a number of busy library events. The ln-Service Award was given to Kathleen Goodman for her dedicated work with the English Conversation Circle program. Volunteer Chris Mehne won the Committee Service Award for his long standing contributions to the Shrewsbury Public Library Foundation. Thank you to these outstanding volunteers and to all our volunteers We must also acknowledge the work of the various volunteer boards and committees that support the library and its services. The service of these individuals makes a great difference in the scope and range of library activities offered. Thank you to the dedicated people who serve on the following committees: • As noted above, the Friends of the Library Board was very active in 2018. I wish to acknowledge the great work of President Carrie Hendricks, Vice President Vanessa Hale, Treasurer Jeff Billingham, Secretary Deborah Lebeaux, and board members Anne Ottoson, Melissa Misiewicz, Judy Pugliese, Patricia Segerson, Melanie Petrucci, Mary Ellen Killelea, Mark Adler, Ann Marie Bird, Marilyn Sarnie, Arathi Cowlagi, Lucy Pellard, Cynthia Carlson, Dean Gillam, Claire Nagle and Melissa Wentworth for their work to provide the financial resources and volunteer support needed to maintain such robust services and programs for library users. • Thank you also to the members of the Board of Trustees of the Shrewsbury Public Library Foundation, including Chairman Nancy Gilbert, Treasurer Jason Port, Secretary Claire Nagle, and members Christopher Mehne and Michael Pagano. • I offer my sincere thanks to the members of the Board of Library Trustees. I am grateful for their generous support and guidance, and for their commitment to serving the people of Shrewsbury and providing the best library possible. Their open-minded approach and progressive attitudes about library service make SPL one of the best around!

212 Finally, I thank the people of Shrewsbury, who continue to support the library with their tax dollars and donations. We hope that our services, collections, and programs have helped you and added value and enjoyment to your lives. Your support is vital. Respectfully submitted, Ellen M. Dolan Library Director

213 MASTER PLAN IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE 2018

James Brown, Parks & Cemetery Commission John Cygielnik, Finance Committee Maurice DePalo, Board of Selectmen Dino Eliadi, Citizen Kathleen Keohane, Planning Board Bryan Moss, Citizen Jason Port, Conservation Commission Dale Schaetzke, Zoning Board of Appeals (until March 2018) Jesse Shaw, Citizen Joseph Thomas, Planning Board Jon Wensky, School Commitee

At the Board of Selectmen’s August 23, 2016 regular session meeting, the Board approved the creation of a Master Plan Implementation Committee (MPIC). It was agreed that the MPIC would include representatives from the Planning Board, the Finance Committee, the Board of Selectmen, the School Committee and other Boards and Committees as well as representatives from the general public. It was also decided that the MPIC would be staffed by the Shrewsbury Town Planner. The Master Plan Implementation Committee met 4 times throughout 2018. During these meetings, the MPIC reviewed elements of the Master Plan and discussed potential strategies the Committee might use to effectively oversee the implementation of the Master Plan’s goals for Housing, Economic Development, Land Use, Transportation and Circulation, and Natural, Cultural, and Historic Resources. The MPIC requested that the Planning and Economic Development office review the list of action-items within the Master Plan document in order to identify which items have been completed, which items are on-going, and which items have not yet begun. In 2019, the Planning and Economic Development Department is to provide the MPIC with the results of its assessment and offer recommendations for accomplishing the remaining action items, and identifying which members of the MPIC would be responsible for oversight of particular outstanding issue areas of the Implementation Plan. Members of the MPIC continued the implementation of assessment phase of the Safe Routes to School Program together with Shrewsbury’s Superintendent of School’s office, members of the teaching staff, and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. Safe Routes to School is a Master Plan action item under the Housing subsection to “Preserve and enhance the walkable character of Shrewsbury neighborhoods,” and under the Transportation subsection to “Support a variety of transportation choices for multimodal travel within Shrewsbury.” Work on the assessment phase of the Safe Routes to School Program and application for Infrastructure Project Funding is anticipated to 2019. In addition to spearheading specific programs and initiatives, the MPIC will continue to work with Shrewsbury’s various Boards and Commissions, town staff and the general public on the broader goals and action items within the Master Plan.

214 PUBLIC FACILITIES DEPARTMENT PARKS, RECREATION & CEMETERY DIVISION

Angela Snell, CPRP – Director of Public Facilities Kevin Esposito, CPSI – Parks, Cemetery & Grounds Division Manager Ryan Pontbriand – Parks & Cemetery Foreman Gary Grindle – Recreation Supervisor

Parks & Cemetery Commission James Brown, Chairman James Lemay David Lyons

The Parks, Recreation & Cemetery Division became part of the DPW in late fall of 2018 and moved the administrative offices to the 2nd floor of the Town Hall. The Division is responsible for the maintenance and scheduling of park facilities, school athletic fields, recreation programs and special events and the operation of Mountain View Cemetery.

PARKS DEPARTMENT The Parks division is staffed by one Parks, Cemetery & Ground Division Manager, one Parks & Cemetery foreman and two Maintenance Craftsmen. All staff assist the Highway Department with snow & ice removal. The division is supported by five part time seasonal employees from April through early November. The department is responsible for preparing and lining fields for Shrewsbury High School’s scholastic sports competitions. The division continues to use contractual help for the mowing and trimming of some of the parks facilities, including ones located in various subdivisions. The division appreciates the cooperation of all the sports groups who used the facilities this past year and work cooperatively with the department. These groups provide sports activities to over 2500 youth in the community. Girls Softball program continues to rise while the other sports hold steady with their numbers. All of these organizations are growing each year and field space continues to be in high demand. New organizations wishing to start a program in Shrewsbury are advised to contact the Parks & Recreation Director, in advance, for field availability prior to forming new teams, programs, or collecting registrations fees as field space is very limited, especially during the months of April- July. Tennis Courts at Dean Park were resurfaced over the summer of 2018. The Master plan for Dean Park, Municipal Drive, Maple Ave, and Lake Street Fields was underway in 2018. Two public forums were held in the early spring to gather input from residents and sports groups. Projected costs for capital improvements were prepared for the department by the BSC Group. There is a need for funding large capital improvement projects at these and a majority of the parks. 215 TOWN CLEAN UP DAY Each spring the division is supported by many volunteers helping to beautify the town by picking up trash and debris after the winter. SELCO provided “Town Clean Up Day” with t-shirts for all the participants. Thank you to the many residents and following groups who helped this year: • Cub Scout Pack 114 • Cub Scout Pack 146 • Cub Scout Pack 62 • 1st Congregational Church Earth Stewardship Team • Shrewsbury Girl Scouts • Shrewsbury Trails Committee • Al-Hambra Academy • Shrewsbury High School engineering classes • Lake Quinsigamond Watershed Association • Many neighborhood groups

Each spring and fall the Quinsigamond Rowing Association (QRA) hosts races and regattas that are attended by schools traveling from across the Northeast. Each school leases a bay from the town and the income is used to pay for the operating and capital improvements to the facilities. The Department helped coordinate lake permits with various organizations in Shrewsbury and Worcester using Lake Quinsigamond. All events on the lake need approval of the Lake Quinsigamond Commission.

CEMETERY DEPARTMENT Mountain View Cemetery The Cemetery division oversees the operations at Mountain View Cemetery which provides burial space for Shrewsbury residents. Cemetery lots may be purchased only by residents of the town for interment of immediate relatives of the lot owner (mother, father, son, and daughter). The cemetery is a municipally subsided service for the residents. Lots are sold section by section to maximize the space in the cemetery. There continues to be interest in the columbarium which opened in 2017. The Morey Chapel Columbarium section next to section A, offers spaces for residents who wish to inter cremated remains. The Cemetery division entered its 10th year of contracting out the lawn mowing and grounds keeping for the cemetery and hired a contractor for the excavation of graves for the burials. The Parks & Cemetery foreman locates the graves and marks out foundations for memorials and the cemetery office located within Town Hall coordinates the burial arrangements with the funeral director or the family. The Cemetery Division also receives and installs government markers for veterans free of charge. Approximately 16 veteran’s markers were installed in 2018. The Cemetery Department continues to sells graves in the newest sections called OO and QQ. This year 68 grave spaces and 6 niches were sold and there were 137 burials held at Mountain View Cemetery. The Cemetery division assists with the Shrewsbury Veterans Council to prepare the Cemetery for the Annual Memorial Day Parade and remembrances. Flags are placed on all Veterans graves on the Sunday prior to Memorial Day by members of Shrewsbury Girl Scouts. Over 50 girls and their families participated helped with this. The flags are removed during the fall clean up each year. This year cub scouts from Pack 114 and Boy Scouts from Troop 114 helped with the removal. Immediately following the removal a flag burning ceremony was held with the local veterans. Cub Scout Pack 62 and Pack 114 places flags on all of the Veteran Squares in Town prior to Memorial Day. Thank you to both organizations for their continued support for Memorial Day Services. 218 In December the Victor Quaranta American Legion Post sponsored the Wreaths Across America wreath laying ceremony in which 7 wreaths representing the branches of the military were donated to the cemetery and placed at the Veterans lot near the main entrance to the cemetery. Approximately 25 additional wreaths were donated this year and were placed throughout the cemetery by volunteers. This was done in coordination with the larger event that takes place at Arlington National Cemetery.

The athletes compete in state wide events organized through Special Olympics Massachusetts (SOMA) in soccer, basketball, bowling, skiing, track & field, volleyball, bocce, and golf. 219 Our Traditional Basketball team had the honor of representing the Special Olympics Massachusetts (SOMA) in the National Games held in Seattle Washington in July. They also continue to prepare for world games to be held in 2019. The group also participated in SOMA organized fundraisers, including the Polar Plunge, raising money by jumping in the ocean, in February. Money raised through these events help support registration fees, uniforms, transportation for the Special Olympic events as well as social events for the athletes. The program also received support from the Shrewsbury Knights of Columbus as they hosted dances and social events for the families involved. We also received a donation from the Mark Fidrych Foundation to help cover costs of uniforms and expenses for these special needs programs.

220 TRAILS COMMITTEE REPORT

The Shrewsbury Trails Committee was formed in 2011 and held it’s first open meeting on April 26, 2012. Meetings are held bi-monthly in the Town Hall. Committee members are unpaid volunteers and are neither appointed nor elected, and are supported by the Town’s Planning Department, the Parks and Recreation Department, and the Engineering Department. The Committee’s mission is to help preserve, promote, protect, connect, and expand Shrewsbury’s trail system for the purpose of recreational enjoyment, outdoor exercise, and an appreciation of our natural environment. In 2018, the Committee held open meetings on January 10, March 14, May 9, July 11, September 12, and November 14.

TRAILS EVENTS OF 2018 Public events: Saturday, April 21, 2018: An Earth Day event in Lake Street Park, featuring a trailside children’s Story Walk (one page at a time along the trail) and a series of nature questions and answers on another trail. For greater visibility, the Story Walk (Animal Tracks) was installed at the Shrewsbury Library on Friday, April 20 2018 before being moved to Lake Street Park. Three electric cars were on display (two Teslas and a BMW) with their owners to answer questions. Saturday, April 28, 2018: Full Moon Walk at Jordan Pond with trivia questions to test your knowledge of the moon. Sunday, October 14, 2018: Wildlife walk with Bob Moore in Lake Street Park, looking for signs of native animals before the snow flies. Wednesday, October 24, 2018: Full Moon Walk in Lake Street Park. Melanie Magee and Martha Maletta talked about the drastic loss of Little Brown bat populations due to White-nose syndrome. Printed information on the 9 species of bats in Massachusetts was distributed. Saturday, November 17, 2018: Bird Walk in Prospect Park with Mike Bellows of the Forbush Bird Club of Worcester.

MAINTAINING THE TRAILS Keeping the trails open and passable is an ongoing concern of the committee, and this year that work continued. There were three work days in June, one with 12 people clearing the new blue trail extension on town land at Carlstrom Forest, including five Boy Scouts from Troop 114 earning conservation credits. The other work days that month cleared the most heavily overgrown section of the red trail in Carlstrom, and the new waterside yellow trail in Lake Street Park. Individual trails members often worked as time permitted. The committee used GPS to map this new trail so that it will be added to the trails maps on the town website.

221 Exploring the possibility of new trails is also of interest to the committee, and in 2018 looked at a number of locations that might accommodate a new trail, possibly including newly acquired town land on Green Street and on the site of the new Beal School. Input from local residents is always encouraged.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT The Trails Committee uses social media to keep residents informed about the local trails and the events sponsored by the group. You can follow us on Facebook and Instagram @ShrewsburyTrails and on Twitter @ShrewsburyTrail. There is also an email address ([email protected]) which responds to questions or comments. Early in the year, trails committee members participated in Town Clean-up Day with Boy Scout Troop 114 member Matt Clark, picking up trash at Rotary Park. Committee members also participated in Town Clean-up Day at the cul-de-sac at Eaton Pond Park. A committee member was on hand June 19, 2018 to review the work of Grade 7 Green at Oak Street Middle School when they unveiled their project, researching and reporting on a large number of wild living things in Shrewsbury’s parks. Committee member Susan Colwell was selected to represent the Trails Committee on the new Public Lands Committee, which will look at determining the possible uses for each piece of town-owned land currently unassigned. During the Spirit of Shrewsbury Town Expo, the committee manned its booth, providing maps and other information. Steve Stillman and his son created a very attractive terrarium stocked with tiny live animals and insects, a great hit with the children, as was the stuffed bobcat provided by Bob Moore. Susan Colwell provided information on Forest Bathing, a technique for achieving calmness and good health through nature. Melanie Magee gave an interview for the local cable Shrewsbury Media Connection. Junior Girl Scout Troop 30996 blazed the yellow trail in Lake Street Park, the final step in making it ready to use. On a chilly day in December, the Trails Committee, along with the Worcester Tree Initiative, sponsored a lesson in pruning trees at Dean Park. The WTI was formed to help replace the 36,000 trees that had to be cut down in the Worcester area due to the infestation by the Asian Longhorned Beetle. The WTI has expressed an interest in providing some trees to be planted in Shrewsbury in the spring of 2019. Submitted by Melanie Magee, 2018-2019 Chair

Additionally, the planners continue to work on other long term projects for the Planning and Economic Development Department and other Town Departments. The Planning Department maintains a list of available commercial and industrial property for development as well as an inventory of on-going residential developments. Planning staff frequently meet with land owners, business owners and developers on various projects and opportunities. The Planning staff also works on several projects on behalf of the Town Manager’s office including applying for various infrastructure grants and funding marketing the Centech Park North property off of South Street, providing general oversight and input for the development of the new Beal School at the Glavin Center and the reuse of the existing Beal School at 1 Maple Avenue, managing electronic permitting and more. In 2018, the Planning Department and Assistant Town Manager, in concert with the Board of Selectmen, applied for and received a MassDevelopment Technical Assistant Grant to fund the master planning and visioning for the Beal School property and Shrewsbury’s Town Center. The Grant enabled the town to contract with a consultant to help determine, among other things, what zoning changes might be implemented to make the town center a more attractive area for visitors and potential developers or tenants, and to consider possible future uses and configurations for the Beal School property. The Planning Department also received a Massachusetts Downtown Initiative (MDI) grant from the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). The MDI grant financed consultant services to help Shrewsbury craft a parking management plan for the Town Center, including inventorying existing parking, analysis of existing and future parking needs and a strategic outline of next steps. At the end of 2018, the Planning Department also applied for a new Massachusetts Downtown Initiative (MDI) grant from the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). If awarded to Shrewsbury, the MDI grant would finance consultant services to help Shrewsbury craft a branding and wayfinding plan for the Town Center. Through these completed studies, and in its application for other similar grant opportunities in 2019, the Planning Department continued its process of focusing

234 more intently on ways to strengthen and increase the vibrancy of the Town Center in accordance with the goals of the Shrewsbury Master Plan. The Planning Department and Town Manager’s Office were awarded a Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) Grant by the state at the end of 2017. Through the MVP grant, the state awards communities with funding to complete climate change vulnerability assessments and develop action-oriented resiliency plans. The Town selected Horsley Witten Group as the MVP-certified provider to provide technical assistance in completing the assessment and resiliency plan. In Spring of 2018, with assistance from Town Planning staff, Horsley Witten Group ran multiple workshops with representation from Town stakeholders, town officials, and local citizens. The workshops helped the community define extreme weather and natural and climate related hazards, identify existing and future vulnerabilities and strengths of the Town, develop and prioritize actions for the community, and identify opportunities to take action to reduce risk and build resilience. After Shrewsbury completed the MVP program in 2018, the Town became a certified MVP community and eligible for follow-up grant funding and other opportunities. In Summer 2018, the Town of Shrewsbury received a Mass Development Site Readiness Grant for Centech Park North, a site currently owned by the Town of Shrewsbury, in order to design and permit subdivision roadways on the property. The Town believes that if the subdivision roadways are designed and permitted in advance, it would make the property more marketable for private users to purchase or lease the land and further develop the necessary subdivision roadways to access the property. The Town selected Bohler Engineering to design the roadway within Centech Park North. Bohler Engineering submitted an application for preliminary subdivision plans to the Planning Board at in December 2018. It is anticipated that submission and approval of the definitive subdivision plan for Centech Park North will occur in Spring of 2019. The Town Planner in concert with the Planning Board proposed Zoning Bylaw changes that included the adoption of a digital zoning map, regulation of two- family side-by-side duplexes, reorganization of the zoning use table, creation of a definition for self-storage uses and its inclusion in the use table, re-defining the definition for farm stands, creating a definition for accessory retail and its inclusion in the use table, expanding the flexible development overlay district to include 409 South Street, re-defining the definitions for impervious area and impervious coverage, re-wording the definition for additions on separate lots, relocating aquifer definitions to Section II of the Zoning Bylaws, re-writing and clarifying site plan criteria, deleting site plan procedures that are redundant with the Planning Board’s Rules and Regulations, and deleting the requirement that the Planning Board Chair also serve as a full member of the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Town Planner acted as the liaison for these zoning changes to other town boards and committees and shepherded the final Warrant Articles through the Planning Board’s public hearing process and both the Annual and Special Town Meeting. The Town Planner crafted the Zoning Bylaw language for the regulation of marijuana retailers, product manufacturers, cultivators, independent testing laboratories and craft cultivator cooperatives in Shrewsbury. The Town Planner worked with Town Counsel, attended seminars and workshops, and participated as a member

235 of a municipal working group of town planners led by the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission to ensure that the proposed zoning language reflected the most up-to-date information pertaining to the State’s regulation of marijuana establishments. The Town Planner presented the proposed zoning bylaw articles for marijuana establishment to other town boards and committees and made adjustments to the zoning language based on their feedback. The Town Planner presented the final Warrant Articles to regulate marijuana establishments to Town Meeting Members at the April Special Town Meeting, where it received the Town’s approval. The Planning Department continued to oversee the completion of the application process to acquire Tier II Complete Streets reimbursements for the Town of Shrewsbury, in coordination with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission. These funding opportunities will allow for further investments in the Town’s pedestrian, bicycling and ADA-compliant infrastructure. The Planning Department will be coordinating the efforts of the Shrewsbury Complete Streets Committee to maintain and advance the Town of Shrewsbury’s “Complete Streets Policy”, adopted August 23, 2016. The staff attended various Massachusetts Association of Planning Directors educational luncheons. The Planners also attended the Southern New England APA Conference held in Hartford, CT in October 2018. The Town is a member of the Corridor Nine Chamber of Commerce and Kristen Las, Assistant Town Manager and Economic Development Coordinator is the public sector co-chair of the 495/Metrowest Partnership’s Energy and Sustainability Committee and attends their meetings. She reported to the Planning Board on the sessions she attended. The planning staff continued its review and oversight of the redevelopment and completion of the former Spag’s site on Boston Turnpike/Route 9 known as Lakeway Commons. This oversight included attending site visits and by-weekly construction meetings to ensure that work was being completed in accordance with the approved Site Plans and Special Permits, submitting comments to the Planning Board and the developers as needed, answering questions from residents and addressing abutter complaints or concerns, and working with the developers, town departments, and other state agencies on any issues that arose. The Town Planner oversaw the review of the final as-built plans for Lakeway Commons and the release of the project surety bonds by the Planning Board. The Planning Department helps to prepare two types of population projects for the Board of Selectmen and Finance Committee. The first projection is a tally of the actual number of school children in certain housing developments. This data is used to project what the estimated number of school children may be in a new housing development. The report is updated yearly generally in November or December. In addition to all of the projects listed above, the Planning Department assists other departments as necessary on various projects throughout the year.

236 SHREWSBURY POLICE DEPARTMENT

James J. Hester Jr. Chief of Police

The authorized strength of the police department is currently forty-eight sworn officers. This includes one chief, three lieutenants, eight sergeants, and thirty- six patrol officers. Additionally, the police department has a staff of nine civilian dispatchers and five clerks. The police department also oversees the animal control officer. We strive to maintain specialized positions within the department so that we can provide the most effective and efficient delivery of police service to the community. Traffic related issues continue to be a major concern for our residents and a priority within the department. In addition to traffic enforcement, the traffic unit is responsible for responding to citizen complaints involving traffic and parking issues, as well as responding to and investigating/reconstructing traffic collisions that result in fatality, serious injury or unusual circumstances. Additionally, the unit prepares reports and documents for other town departments and outside agencies who frequently request traffic data, studies, accident history, etc., for specific locations in town. The police department continues to work in cooperation with our public schools to provide a safe and secure environment for students and staff through our school resource officer program. The police department is committed to working and strengthening this valuable partnership. Officers’ Mark Hester and Scott Mentzer are assigned to the high school and middle schools respectively. Officer Mentzer also works as the liaison to the elementary schools. The police department works in partnership with the council on aging and the fire department to address public safety needs and concerns of our senior residents. This program has been extremely helpful in improving communication between agencies to effectively address issues involving seniors. The detective bureau is staffed by one detective lieutenant, one detective sergeant, four detective patrolman and two school resource officers. The detective bureau investigates all Shrewsbury death scenes in cooperation with the Massachusetts State Police. The detective bureau is responsible for investigating all felonies, thefts, frauds, burglaries, narcotic violations and sexual assault complaints that occur in our town. The detective bureau works closely with the Shrewsbury Police operations division (uniformed personnel). The detective bureau maintains records on all sex offenders who are required by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to register in the Town of Shrewsbury. This information is available to the public at no cost. Members of the detective bureau are on-call 24 hours a day and respond when required to investigate crimes. The Shrewsbury Police Department remains committed to providing the best possible training for personnel. Our instructors work to continually improve the training our officers receive in areas including firearms, defensive tactics and first responder training. The training emphasizes judgement and decision making 237 under stressful situations. High quality training ensures that officers can adapt to the variety of situations they may encounter on the street. The Shrewsbury Police Department applied for and received $90,679.00 in grant funding through the State E911 Department in 2018. The funding is used to pay a portion of dispatchers salaries and provide training for dispatch communications personnel. During the year, the Shrewsbury Police Department applied for and received $12,000.00 in grant funding through the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security’s Highway Safety Division. The funding is used to purchase equipment and conduct traffic enforcement to reduce accidents related to distracted and drunk driving and to educate the public of the danger of these offenses. We will continue to aggressively seek out and apply for grants that are of benefit to the police operations and delivery of service. It is our intention to continue to deliver the highest quality police service to the community we serve. We dedicate ourselves to a proactive problem solving approach when addressing crime, disorder, fear of crime and issues in the community that affect public peace and security. On behalf of the entire staff at the Shrewsbury Police Department, I would like to thank the citizens of Shrewsbury for their support. We look forward to continued success in the years ahead.

Dr. Joseph M. Sawyer, Superintendent of Schools

The Shrewsbury School Committee and Superintendent, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 72, Section 4 of the General Laws of Massachusetts submit this 2018 Annual Report to the citizens of Shrewsbury and to the Commissioner of Education.

SUPERINTENDENT’S STATEMENT The intent of this statement is to provide my perspective regarding the strengths our schools possess and the challenges that we face in the context of our own strategic direction, while considering the larger perspective of public education in our state and nation. I will do so according to the four strategic priorities that the School Committee approved in December 2017 and which are intended to guide our work from 2018-2022. The overarching theme, is that, while we have much to celebrate, we have work to do to achieve our collective aspirations for our students.

Our work ahead will build on a very strong foundation We have work to do, because our strategic goals are ambitious and our students’ success is worthy of the significant effort it will take to achieve them. Before discussing further, it is important to pause here to note that we come to this work from a position of great strength. It is important to recognize that: • Our students continue to demonstrate very high levels of success in traditional measures of academics, including strong performance on state and national assessments, with our district again being named to the national AP Honor Roll for increasing access to rigorous coursework while maintaining very strong outcomes. Student creations and performances in the visual and performing arts continue to earn accolades, while academic competition teams (Speech & Debate, Robotics, Math Teams, etc.) and athletic teams continue to achieve impressive results. • Our educators, support staff, and leadership team continue to do extraordinary work every day. I am continually impressed with their commitment to students’ well-being, their skillful efforts to engage students in meaningful learning, and their pride in working as a team to make their schools and district great places for teaching and learning. Scrolling through the Twitter feed found at

251 #ShrewsburyLearns, one will see superb examples of innovative educational practices, along with myriad examples of students and staff accomplishments that underscore our district’s core values. • Our School Committee provides leadership that creates the conditions for students and educators to thrive. The School Committee’s participation in and support of the creation of a bold vision and thoughtful strategic priorities for our district, and its steady governance of our schools in a manner that truly empowers staff to use their professional judgment to turn the vision and priorities into reality, are key factors in the ongoing success of the Shrewsbury Public Schools. These five elected volunteer citizens work tirelessly and collaboratively to ensure our schools provide the greatest value possible for the community given the resources available, while keeping their focus on what’s best for students. Their skillful generation of significant, town-wide support for funding the new Beal School building project was another example of how their leadership is critically important to our district’s success. • Our parent community provides outstanding support, for their own children specifically and for our schools generally. We could not accomplish nearly as much without the efforts of parents to ensure that students are ready and available to learn and reinforcing what is taught at school, as well as their volunteer efforts in classrooms, through PTOs, booster groups, etc. We are most fortunate to have high levels of trust and support from families. • Our support from the town government and the community-at-large is also strong. Our relationship with the municipal government administration remains important and effective, and the recent changes in the municipal structure for supporting public buildings and grounds is already showing evidence of success. The overwhelmingly positive vote to build a new K-4 elementary school to address overcrowding and to replace an obsolete building signaled a high level of confidence in the School Department from citizens across all demographics, not just parents. The business community has also been hugely supportive, as evidenced by the many sponsorships that made the renovation and replacement of the SHS athletic stadium field a reality without using town budget funds (chief among them being a $750,000 sponsorship by Central One Federal Credit Union). We should continue to celebrate the continued excellence of our schools, and utilize these strengths as we take the necessary steps to provide an even better education for our students, one that will adapt to the changing needs and demands that today’s world places upon our students and us.

We have work to do There has always been a culture of hard work in our schools, and I am proud that our efforts have resulted in the successes outlined above. In order to achieve the vision and strategic priorities that have been established, I believe that we collectively need to ensure that we are expending our efforts on the right things in the right ways. Below, I attempt to outline how we should focus our energy across our four strategic priorities.

252 Learning environments where everyone’s success matters We have work to do if we are to become a district where we can truly say that “all means all” when it comes to ensuring that all students are getting what they need to succeed. We have made strides in shifting our practices to be more inclusive of students with disabilities in typical classroom settings, in order to provide more robust learning opportunities and align programming with research that demonstrates that all students are served better when instruction is differentiated effectively in a heterogeneous setting (such as in a co-teaching model). This work is challenging, as it requires high levels of collaboration between classroom teachers and special education teachers, and that specialized instruction is provided effectively to students who require it. It also requires continued attention to building a growth mindset that focuses on what students are capable of accomplishing if provided with the right supports, as opposed to making assumptions about what they can achieve based on deficits associated with their disabilities. As Shrewsbury becomes more diverse each year, we must also consider how we can ensure that our practices are inclusive where it comes to our students’ and families’ cultural backgrounds, so that all students and families feel welcome and unconditionally accepted as members of our school communities. We will need to build our understanding of culturally proficient practices so that our staff increase their knowledge and skill of working with students and parents whose cultures of origin differ from theirs. We are working on how to best measure our successes related to inclusive practices, including learning more about the Department of Elementary & Secondary Education’s (DESE) new accountability tool, which shows gaps between different “subgroups” of students relative to various measures of achievement. If we believe that “all means all” when it comes to our students, we must invest time, energy, and resources to ensure that every single student’s needs are being met in ways that promote their academic, social, and emotional growth, and to do this in the most inclusive manner possible.

Enhanced well-being of all We have work to do if we are to become a district where we can truly say that the kids – and the educators – are alright, when it comes to addressing stress and other social, emotional, and behavioral health issues. The feedback from our students and staff has been consistent: stress is a significant factor that is affecting their quality of life, collectively and individually. This aligns with what his happening on a national and global level, as communities, states, and nations try to address various issues related to social, emotional, and behavioral health of young people, especially where it comes to the specific topics of depression and suicide, substance abuse and addiction (including new challenges related to the legalization of marijuana and an epidemic of vaping, in addition to the opioid crisis), and the societal phenomena of smartphones and screen time changing the social dynamic. Health survey data indicate that Shrewsbury’s young people are not immune from these issues, and that these concerns are more significant in many cases when the data are disaggregated 253 by subgroup, with LGBTQ students in particular demonstrating higher levels of risk. To address these issues, we will need to focus time, attention, and resources on developing a comprehensive approach to social and emotional learning to be integrated into practices across the board, while also taking steps to address the specific concerns listed above through curriculum adjustments and expanded counseling and clinical supports for students with significant needs. Regarding educators, the national conversation has shifted regarding the circumstances and expectations for public school educators as the No Child Left Behind era ends. Over the past decade-plus, U.S. educators have experienced a plethora of initiatives (no matter how well intended or desired); a student population with increasingly complex needs; pressure for results in the form of higher test scores (whether real or perceived); an environment where communications technology can create a sense of constant urgency; all within a work structure that was designed for a bygone era. It is not surprising that this has resulted in higher levels of stress for educators. Layered on top of this is a perceived lack of respect society has afforded educators within our nation, with a sense that teachers were being blamed for shortcomings, along with the low compensation that many educators experienced in parts of the country where investment in public education was reduced severely during the recession and has not kept up with inflation (hence the walkouts and strikes we have seen in recent months in various states). We are fortunate that Massachusetts continued to invest heavily in public education and is in a much stronger place than most states where it comes to compensating educators and providing supports for students, and that Shrewsbury educators’ feedback indicates that they appreciate the professionalism of their working environment. However, the issue of stress in the system is still very real. It will be very important to continue to develop positive, purposeful school cultures so that there are supportive environments for our staff, while also seeking and implementing specific ways in which to address stress and support our educators’ well-being.

Connected learning for a complex world We have work to do if we are to become a district where we can truly say that all of our students are participating in project-based and other authentic, connected learning experiences that are sufficiently developing the skills they will need to be successful citizens. Our district’s vision for its students, found in the Portrait of a Shrewsbury Graduate, emphasizes many skills and dispositions beyond academic learning. There are many innovative ways in which our students are learning the 21st century skills of communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking, and it becomes more clear each year why building these competencies is crucial for our students’ future success. What we see in society and the media today makes it apparent that our students must become savvy consumers of news and information who can also see the moral and ethical dimensions of issues, so that they become informed, empathetic citizens who serve the community and seek the common good. Over the past several years we have developed many opportunities for students to learn academic skills and content in ways that also develop their “real-world” 254 skills, including many that leverage new technologies, but we still have far to travel to ensure that we are systematically providing these opportunities to all learners at all levels so that we can realize our Portrait of a Shrewsbury Graduate vision in a systematic way. To be sure, we need to empower our educators and students to find innovative ways to achieve these things, but within a clear framework that directs our energies towards these common goals.

Space and resources to support effective learning We have work to do if we are to become a district where we can truly say that we have the space and resources necessary to achieve what the community expects of us. We are fortunate in our district, as we have substantial resources, both capital and human, to do the important work of educating our students. These resources continue to be modest when viewed in the context of other school districts across the state, and the value that our community receives regarding the return on its investment is superb. We have made excellent progress in some areas, particularly with the strong community support to build a new Beal School, but it is clear to me that a greater investment in our schools’ capacity to do the work we have been charged with accomplishing will be necessary to reach our goals. The budget recommendation for the next fiscal year will reference not only what it will take to maintain the status quo in our schools, but also what strategic investments will be necessary to advance the work in all four of our strategic priorities. As I indicated in my State of the District report in 2018, there must be a “reciprocity of accountability and capacity” (per Richard Elmore), in that a school district must have the capacity to implement the improvements that the community expects of it. Normal inflationary factors in what is a personnel-heavy sector, combined with ongoing and new mandates, and reduced or flat financial support from the federal and state levels, make it a challenge to maintain the status quo. It is my hope that the energy on Beacon Hill regarding providing appropriate levels of state funding, combined with continued strong stewardship of local resources, will help us make necessary investments over the next few years to address our priorities, which we aim to accomplish while still coping with increases in enrollment, particularly at the high school. Last year, I identified areas where our district currently lacks capacity, but that will be necessary to address in order to carry out our vision and strategy; in most cases we were not able to gain this capacity during the current budget year. It is my hope that we can provide additional resources for the following: • addressing ongoing increases in enrollment, particularly at the secondary level; • continued implementation of inclusive practices such as co-teaching and support for in-district special education programming that provides more access for more students within our own district schools; • additional clinical and/or counseling resources to address evolving student mental, emotional, and behavioral health needs; • development of systems that promote family engagement and culturally proficient practices within an increasingly diverse community; • coordination of social emotional learning strategies and programming for 255 students, along with professional development to build staff capacity to address students’ social, emotional, and health needs; • developing and implementing a comprehensive well-being strategy and corresponding programming for staff; • establishment and coordination of partnerships with community resources, including businesses, higher education, service agencies, alumni, etc., in order to create more experiential learning and career awareness opportunities for students; and • support for ongoing day-to-day operations of district functions related to student registration, business operations, state reporting, etc. As I stated a year ago, I fear that without creating additional capacity, the ability of the district to deliver on these aspirations will be significantly compromised. No matter how worthy or compelling, our goals will remain unrealized if the capacity to achieve them is lacking.

CONCLUSION The hashtag used to share what’s happening in our schools on Twitter is #ShrewsburyLearns. I like the present verb tense of this term, because it signals that our district is currently and continuously engaged in getting better at the core reason that schools exist: learning. Our students and educators have and will continue to learn much and learn well, but as this report suggests, we have work to do so that we may reach the ambitious goals we have set for improving the lives of the children in our care.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES & GOALS FOR 2018-2022 The following strategic priorities and goals were adopted by the School Committee on December 20, 2017: Strategic Priority: Space and resources to support effective learning 2022 strategic goals: • Address stressed enrollment capacity by increasing physical space and making programmatic adaptations: -- Assess Preschool through Grade 12 facility needs, including completion of a space and enrollment capacity study to facilitate planning -- Partner with the community to build a new Beal School to address Kindergarten through Grade Four space needs and to provide access to a full-day program with no tuition to all kindergarten students -- Relieve overcrowded conditions wherever necessary by providing additional space and/or revising use of existing space, especially at Shrewsbury High School • Secure the necessary resources for a high quality educational program: -- Address growing enrollment with adequate staffing to maintain appropriate 256 class sizes according to School Committee guidelines -- Ensure that students have access to personnel, technology, and instructional materials to achieve expected levels of learning -- Provide effective professional learning opportunities for staff to build teaching and leadership capacity -- Further educate the community regarding the costs and benefits of a high performance school system

APPROVAL TO BUILD A NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL On November 6, 2018, Shrewsbury voters overwhelmingly approved a debt exclusion from the limits of Proposition 2 ½ of $92.8 million to build a 141,600 square foot new elementary school to serve 790 students in Kindergarten through Grade 4 on the grounds of the former Irving A. Glavin Regional Center on Lake Street. This school will replace the current Beal Early Childhood Center building, which is the original Major Howard W. Beal Memorial High School, built in 1922. The new school will not only replace an almost-obsolete building, it will relieve crowding from the other four elementary schools given the ongoing enrollment growth the district has experienced. This building project will receive a reimbursement from the Massachusetts School Building Authority of approximately $33 million towards the overall cost. Town meeting members voted almost unanimously for the borrowing authorization for the project at a special town meeting on October 22, 2018, with only one audible dissent on a voice vote. The architect for the project is Lamoureux Pagano Associates of Worcester and the owner’s project manager is PMA Associates of Braintree, both of whom served in these roles for the new Sherwood Middle School that opened in 2013 and the renovated and expanded Shrewsbury Public Library project that was completed in 2016, while Fontaine Brothers of Springfield, who did the work for the library, was selected as the construction management company. The new school is anticipated to open for the 2021-2022 school year.

ENROLLMENT The student population is reported to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education on October 1 of each year. As of October 1, 2018, there were 6,214 students enrolled across preschool through high school, slightly below the previous year’s all-time high. Enrollment by grade span was as follows: Early Childhood & Elementary Schools (Preschool-Grade 4): 2,413 Middle Schools (Grades 5-8): 1,964

258 High School (Grades 9-12): 1,837 (an all-time high)

In-District PreK-12 Actual Enrollment: 2009-2018 The chart below illustrates the district’s enrollment for the past ten school years, which reflects growth from 5,841 to 6,214, an increase of 373 students over the past decade. The one-year decrease from 2017 to 2018 was from 6,218 to 6,214, a four-student decrease.

Enrollment by Grade October 1, 2018 The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education uses enrollment figures as of October 1 of each school year for its official statistics. The in-district populations for each grade in Shrewsbury as of October 1, 2018 are displayed in the chart below:

259 BUDGET The following is an excerpt written by Dr. Sawyer and is a good summarization of the School Department’s Fiscal Year 2019 Budget. As has been the tradition, the School Committee conducts a thorough and transparent budget process and posts a myriad of budget-related information in its School Committee meeting packets and on its website. Finally, the School Committee mailed all Town Meeting representatives a week before the Annual Town meeting in May, a seventy-five- page budget document detailing its request.

Dear Town Meeting Members: The School Committee unanimously recommends a proposed Fiscal Year 2019 School Department appropriation of $64,137,607, which represents a $1,762,607 increase over the current fiscal year, or 2.83%. Last October, the School Committee issued budget development guidelines and priorities that emphasized providing the level of fiscal resources to: 1. maintain our current educational program, 2. meet mandates, 3. address enrollment growth, and 4. achieve the district’s strategic priorities and goals. The initial budget recommendation that I filed in January indicated that the School Department would require just over $4 million in additional funding to address these priorities. Since that time, a number of adjustments were able to be made, including reducing salary projections for new hires, lowering projected special education expenses, updating fee revenue estimates after the School Committee voted to increase fee levels, and factoring in adjusted levels of current year special 260 education reimbursements and a small projected year-end surplus. In total, these factors reduced the district’s need by about $1.2 million. However, this leaves a remaining need of about $2.84 million, but the share of town revenue available to provide additional funding to the School Department is about $1.76 million, leaving a gap of more than $1 million to close. In the absence of other available revenue, this requires reductions within our appropriated budget. These reductions include: • Cutting 16.4 full time equivalent staffing (FTE) positions from the original budget plan, including 12.7 FTE existing positions, 3.5 FTE proposed positions, and 0.2 FTE of a position through attrition/retirement; these cuts will reduce our capacity to provide educational programming, address enrollment growth, and pursue strategic goals. • Delaying important investments in technology equipment replacement that will need to be made in the near future. • Reducing funds for important investments in curriculum materials and staff training. While the vast majority of our school district’s programming and personnel are protected under this plan, it is important that I signal my significant concerns regarding the trend we are experiencing. As our school district continues to grow in student enrollment, as demands for meeting educational mandates continue unabated, and as society’s expectations for what schools should provide for students academically, socially, and emotionally continue to be amplified, a lack of adequate funding year over year will inevitably compromise quality. The School Committee and I recognize that the current revenue available to the town from state and local sources simply isn’t adequate for town government, including our schools, to do all that the community expects. We are grateful for the additional recommended funding of $1.76 million. Unfortunately, this level of increase is not adequate to meet our growing district’s fiscal needs, and so our capacity to provide all that we should to our community’s young people will erode further in the coming year. The question I have posed in recent years remains: What will our community do to solve the structural funding dilemma that jeopardizes the future quality of public education in Shrewsbury? The School Committee and the School Department administration look forward to engaging with the community to resolve this dilemma, and by doing so ensure that the tradition of excellence our schools have established continues into the future. In the meantime, we will continue to do our best to provide an excellent education to our students in the most cost-effective way possible. On behalf of the School Committee, I respectfully request the approval of the recommended appropriation for the School Department, and I look forward to answering any questions you may have at Town Meeting. Respectfully, Joe Sawyer Superintendent of Schools

261 The following table shows a five-year history of the fiscal summary of all funds used for the School Department. Public schools are fueled by a number of revenue sources. Most of the revenues are restricted in their use and as a result are separately accounted for in our financial system. The chart below provides an “all in” overview of actual and budgeted expenditures in various categories that align with the reporting requirements of the MA DESE End of Year Report. Of note is the expected decline in federal grant funds and second consecutive year with no state grant funding. Governmental grant funding has become a less reliable revenue source.

The operating budget for Fiscal Year 2019, approved at the Annual Town Meeting in May 2018, totals $64,137,607. The operating budget submitted for approval at the Annual Town Meeting received unanimous approval of the School Committee and an affirmative recommendation by both the Town Finance Committee and Board of Selectmen. The following pie chart shows the allocation of the FY19 budget by major category of expense.

262

Public school systems are staff-intensive organizations and it is no surprise that 84% of the total is allocated towards staff salaries and wages. Two important factors to consider relative to this budget are that all employee insurance costs are budgeted and managed by the Town Treasurer’s Office. Also, with respect to pension costs, teachers and administrators are required to pay a portion of their salary [5-11% depending on year entering service] to the Massachusetts Teachers’ Retirement System and so there are no contributions from the town budget. Other school employees may be pension-eligible based on hours worked per year and if so also pay a portion of their salary [9-10% depending on earnings] to the Town of Shrewsbury Retirement System. The employer [town] contribution to the Town of Shrewsbury Retirement System is budgeted each year contingent upon the funding schedule in the valuation report, recommendation from the Retirement Board, and subject to available resources. A further breakdown of the $53.9M budgeted salaries by major employee group category can be viewed in the following pie chart.

263 CURRICULUM Effective schools are the lifeblood of a strong community. In Shrewsbury, our focus on empowered learners means that both students and staff contribute by building their skills and sharing talents. Similarly, our school communities benefit from the ongoing support of parents, families and community volunteers. Shrewsbury is a good place to grow. A rigorous curriculum and strong, student-centered instruction continue to be at the core of the mission of the Shrewsbury Public Schools. Our district’s strategic priorities depict an ongoing commitment to meeting high expectations as well as an emphasis on continuous improvement. The district’s curriculum is guided by the Massachusetts Department of Education’s Curriculum Frameworks, which outline what students should know and be able to do at each grade level in multiple subject areas. The English Language Arts and Math frameworks were last revised in 2011. Having completed a multi-year pilot initiative, the district will transition to the new Massachusetts Science framework based on the Next Generation Science Practices for Grades K-8 in 2019. Consequently, this year we are actively reviewing new Social Science standards with the goal of updating our Social Studies curriculum next. Tracking student progress is just as important. The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) launched “MCAS 2.0” for the first time in 2017. Results from this new version of the state assessment test serve as baseline data and inform our instructional practices as we look to meet the needs of our diverse learners. Along with state exams, our students also have strong outcomes on the SAT and Advanced Placement tests administered to high school students. To align with our new strategic priorities, the district will improve our efforts to monitor progress of students with the highest needs. The first step is to look at how we collect and use achievement data, including informal district assessments. It should be noted however that test scores, while important, are not the only indicators of success that we value. Our aspirations for our graduates are depicted well in Shrewsbury’s Portrait of a Graduate document, which speaks to developing skills in six domains: GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP & ENGAGEMENT Students: • Listen with an open mind to understand others' situations and treat all with kindness and respect • Learn from and engage collaboratively and reflectively with individuals representing diverse cultures, religions, and lifestyles in a spirit of mutual respect and open dialogue in personal, work, digital, and community conversations • Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of society's impact on the natural world • Access, analyze, and evaluate information in order to understand the local, national, and global implications of civic decisions • Contribute to society in important ways by serving others

264 COLLABORATION & COMMUNICATION Students: • Demonstrate ability to work effectively and respectfully with diverse teams • Assume shared responsibility for collaborative work, and value the individual contributions made by each team member • Listen effectively to decipher meaning of knowledge, values, attitudes, and intentions • Communicate for a range of purposes (e.g., to inform, instruct, motivate, and persuade) • Articulate thoughts and ideas effectively through oral, written, and nonverbal communication skills, utilizing a variety of forms and media

RESILIENCE & FOCUS Students: • Persevere to accomplish difficult tasks and to overcome academic and personal barriers to meet goals • Work effectively in a climate of ambiguity and changing priorities • Employ strategies to maintain personal wellness, focus, and intention in their lives • Incorporate feedback effectively and deal positively with praise, setbacks, and criticism • Monitor and direct their own learning, adapting their approach as needed to successfully complete a task or solve a problem

INNOVATION Students: • Use a wide range of idea creation techniques and problem-solving techniques (such as brainstorming, divergent and convergent thinking, effective reasoning, and systems thinking) • Elaborate, refine, analyze, and evaluate their own ideas in order to improve and maximize creative efforts • Demonstrate originality and inventiveness in work and understand the real- world limits to adopting new ideas • View failure as an opportunity to learn; understand that creativity and innovation is a long-term, cyclical process of small successes and frequent mistakes • Act on creative ideas to make tangible and useful contributions • Reflect critically on learning experiences, processes, and solutions

CRITICAL THINKING & CONTENT MASTERY Students: • Develop and draw from a baseline understanding of knowledge in an academic discipline • Transfer knowledge to other situations

265 • Demonstrate curiosity and identify, define, and solve authentic problems and essential questions • Reflect critically on learning experiences, processes, and solutions • Make good decisions by clarifying values, analyzing information, considering alternatives and tradeoffs, and applying sound reasoning

LEADERSHIP Students: • Use interpersonal and problem-solving skills to influence and guide others toward a goal • Demonstrate integrity, humility, and flexibility of response • Recognize and support the leadership of others • Act responsibly with the interests of the larger community in mind In addition to emphasizing rigorous academic learning, the district has also emphasized the importance of social emotional learning. As stated in our strategic goals, in the coming years the district will Create a common understanding of the benefits of the skills, habits, and mindsets of social and emotional learning and develop a shared, systematic approach to explicitly teach, integrate, and assess these competencies. Accordingly, this year a district steering committee was formed to further the learning and to guide next steps. In coming years, we expect to create an inventory of common practices that support positive school cultures and to review and report on related curriculum and student support needs.

Professional Development Ideally, professional development reflects both the needs and aspirations of the people it serves. When designing offerings for Shrewsbury’s educators, the district seeks to provide opportunities that can be applied in the classroom, with a preference for supporting sustained experiences that are aligned with school priorities. For example, during the 2017-18 school year, the vast majority of professional development time focused on technology integration, social emotional learning, exploring the demands of our rapidly changing 21st century environment, meeting the needs of diverse learners, and project-based learning. In the next five years, our goals for professional development will mirror the newly developed strategic priorities and district goals. Teacher induction processes, the district mentoring program, professional development days, online offerings and summer course options provide flexibility for busy educators looking to strengthen their repertoires. It’s gratifying to see educators extending their learning. During the summer of 2018, Shrewsbury Public Schools offered its seventh annual Summer Institute for educators. The design of this Institute is to offer a number of different graduate level courses targeted at supporting the district’s strategic priorities, and each year more educators avail themselves of this annual learning opportunity. Our partnership with the Westborough Public Schools continues to boost our attendance numbers, and facilitates meaningful collaboration. For example, last year several Westborough educators led workshops and courses. In these ways our learning networks have fueled learning beyond the district. 266 SCHOOL HIGHLIGHTS Parker Road Preschool The Parker Road Preschool mission is to provide every child with the tools with which success can be achieved. We value creativity, learning through exploration, responsible decision making, and the belief that every child has the ability to succeed in school. The Parker Road Preschool Program is an integrated program that offers 18 sessions of half-day preschool in which families can enroll their children. Our preschool offers mixed-aged and same-aged classrooms for 3-, 4-, and 5-year- old students. Class size is limited to 15 students with one Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) certified teacher and one to two classroom paraprofessionals. A lottery process is used to enroll students without disabilities each year. Students with disabilities attend preschool according to special education regulations and their Individual Education Program. Parker Road Preschool has an enrollment, as of January 1, 2019, of 137 tuition- based students and 90 Individual Education Program (IEP) students across 18 sessions of half-day preschool. Two substantially separate special education programs provide specially designed instruction outside of the integrated preschool classroom for 19 students. Our program offers a balance of teacher-directed and child-directed activities. A flexible yet consistent schedule allows our teachers to meet the individual needs of each child. We recognize that all children grow and develop at various rates. Opportunities to develop social-emotional, fine motor, gross motor, adaptive, and cognitive skills are embedded in all preschool activities. We are dedicated to building self-esteem, encouraging problem solving, and developing creative opportunities that enhance the growth and development of each child. Process, not perfection, is valued at our preschool. We understand that children learn through repeated experiences, socialization, play, and interactions with people and materials. We emphasize hands-on exploration and focus on helping children learn about themselves and the world around them through play and discovery. Parent involvement is welcomed and encouraged. Joining the PTO, volunteering in the classrooms, and assisting with special projects and events are some of the opportunities for parent participation in the education of their child.

Beal Early Childhood Center The Beal Early Childhood Center’s mission is to advocate for all children, support family life, and provide a high quality developmentally appropriate educational program. We seek to build a foundation that will allow the whole child to grow and develop. Beal Early Childhood Center has an enrollment of 304 Kindergarten and Grade 1 students: 72 students in one of the four Grade 1 sections, 79 students in one of four Full Day Kindergarten (FDK) sections, and 153 students in one of the ten Half Day Kindergarten (HDK) sections. Classroom space is shared for art and music. Beal also has a gymnasium, media center, and cafeteria, along with spaces for the School Psychologist, Instructional Coach, special education staff, ELL teachers, and Literacy Tutors to work to 267 support student learning. Literacy tutors work with teachers to provide additional support for students not meeting grade level benchmarks. These students, identified by data, receive consistent one-on-one and small group support until progress monitoring indicates that they are no longer at risk. At Beal, data is also used to plan instruction and goals for all students. Instructional aides also provide direct instruction to students in small groups and individually. Volunteers also provide support to classroom teachers. Our instructional coach/curriculum coordinator works closely with our classroom teachers. This position provides support across the curriculum, with intensive training in mathematics with a focus on problem solving, as well as reading, writing, science and social studies. In addition, this position coordinates peer observations by making the arrangements for visits to other classes within Beal, and to other schools in the district. This position’s leadership at grade level meetings has resulted in valuable teacher collaboration around formal and informal assessment that drives the planning for individualized instruction. She also coordinates Beal’s Response to Intervention (RTI) team, and serves as a valuable contributor during meetings. We are fortunate to have an active PTO, which supports faculty initiatives and coordinates and runs social activities and fundraising needed to support learning experiences outside of the building-based budget.

Calvin Coolidge Elementary School Calvin Coolidge School is a vibrant learning environment that is home to 414 students in grades K through 4. The school is also home to 73 faculty and staff members, all of whom are dedicated to supporting students academically, socially, and emotionally. Together, our students and staff combine to create a dynamic, caring, and joyful learning community. In our school, we identify our core values as the “Big Three” - be kind, help others, and do your best. These values are fundamental to our school culture, and they are continuously being practiced, acknowledged, and celebrated throughout the building. These values also extend beyond the walls of our school, as our students regularly participate in community outreach initiatives, such as fundraisers and drives. Our school motto is, “Respect for Learning, Respect for All.” In partnership with our students, families and the larger community, the staff at Coolidge strive to create a respectful educational community that encourages the pursuit of lifelong learning, values individuals and their contributions, promotes civic responsibility, and appreciates diversity. At Coolidge, we use common Social Emotional Learning (SEL) tools and strategies to support our students in developing self-awareness, self-management, and other core SEL competencies. Our aim is to utilize these proactive supports in an effort to empower students to make successful choices. When students are equipped with these SEL competencies, they are better prepared to participate in learning experiences, and their capacity to learn is increased. The members of the Coolidge faculty are highly-qualified and collaborative educators who are committed to the success of all students. Our teacher teams 268 regularly use the state frameworks and student data to guide their instruction, and they constantly work to deliver the most rigorous, individualized, and engaging instruction possible. Accordingly, each teacher has partnered with colleagues to share professional resources and best practices, and every member of the staff at Coolidge is committed to crafting lessons that meet a wide range of student needs. Overall, our aim is to support self-directed, kind and capable learners. We are grateful that Coolidge parents continue to support school learning goals. PTO funds bring enrichment opportunities to students. Volunteers support the staff in their efforts in and out of our classrooms. Coolidge has long been known for its strong sense of community and tight-knit “neighborhood feel,” and we hope to keep this reputation going strong for years to come.

Walter J. Paton School The Paton School community prides itself as a kind, child-centered, learning environment. Our approximately 370 students are challenged, involved, assisted, and encouraged to work with others as they grow as learners and citizens. We believe that all students can learn, and learn well. We continue to provide a rigorous curriculum based on the Massachusetts standards. Curricular highlights have featured an emphasis on fiction and nonfiction reading at high levels, implementation of the Shrewsbury Writing Project, the use of the Math in Focus program as our core curriculum, and enrichment of our science and social studies units. Use of the standards-based report card, and emphasis on “essential and important to know” skills and knowledge have supported our efforts. Our dedicated staff collaborates in grade level and vertical (K-4) teams to look at student performance data and share effective instructional strategies with one another. We continue to add curriculum resources to support instruction using school-based funds, grants, donations, and PTO contributions. Paton families continue to support our school efforts, and students continue to work hard and achieve at high levels. We are grateful to our PTO for all of the ways they support our school program and students! Teachers and specialists at Paton School are highly qualified, committed, and always learning. Our efforts to sustain our respectful, kind community have been featured in Paton Pride meetings and recognition of students who demonstrate our core values. We continue to use the Responsive Classroom approach to build children’s social competencies. For the past several years, our school community has also participated in the worldwide Great Kindness Challenge to promote positive, kind interactions between all members of our school community and beyond. With the leadership of our school psychologist, we have implemented pieces of the Social Thinking curriculum, and integrated those with Responsive Classroom strategies. We also benefit from an active student council, as well as community service learning projects, supported by parents and the community. Projects include events such as collecting food, clothing and books for those in need, as well as “Treats for Troops,” in recognition of the ultimate sacrifice Walter J. Paton made during World War II. Paton traditions include a community gathering on the playground on the first day of school, our annual Book Blizzard Read-A-Thon every February promoting a love of literacy, and our yearly Family Picnic that occurs at the end of every 269 school year. Our families and staff are always looking for new ways for our school community to come together to build friendships and socialize. Additionally, we benefit from the commitment of our parents to support the instruction and learning that is happening throughout the school day. Our parents serve in many different volunteer roles, from making photocopies, to reading with students, running small groups, and chaperoning field trips. We are so fortunate to have such high levels of commitment from our families and our staff to ensure the success of our students. Paton School strives to create a rigorous, safe, and collaborative learning environment for the whole child that fosters appropriate risk-taking and believes mistakes are opportunities for growth. We will create a respectful community through the use of common language and shared expectations between the students, families, and staff across all aspects of the school day. Every member of the Paton community is empowered and responsible to strive for excellence in all they do. Our motto is Respecting others, Respecting ourselves, Always doing our best!

Spring Street School Spring Street School is home to approximately 366 students and 60 faculty and staff members including classroom teachers, special educators, and instructional and child-specific aides. Our school has 17 classrooms including full-day kindergarten and Grades 1 to 4. Our Core Values of acceptance, dedication, support, and perseverance, are at the forefront of the work we do, both academically and socially. Our students are committed to not only becoming knowledgeable, perseverant, and responsible for their own success, but to also become caring, kind, empathetic, and respectful citizens of our school and community. As part of our focus on our Core Values in our everyday work, we celebrate our accomplishments by participating in community-building All School Meetings, Core Values in Action recognition, and personal acknowledgement and celebration of students demonstrating actions as responsible community members who consistently demonstrate positive character traits including kindness, respect, and support. In addition to becoming good citizens of our school and community, we pride ourselves on the academic success of all our students. Our school has a wide range of students with varied abilities, learning styles, and ways of demonstrating their knowledge. Each student’s learning needs are different and our instruction, learning activities, and assessments are tailored to meet those needs and learning styles. Our teachers are highly qualified, dedicated, and collaborative. Each teacher is committed to the success of all of our students and works in grade- level and vertical teams to share, reflect, and develop strategies to support all of our students. Our school places tremendous value on encouraging and developing a positive school/home partnership. Our teachers, staff, students, and families realize the importance and benefits of working together to support each other so all of our students reach their potential. Our PTO is instrumental in providing resources for educational enrichment and supplemental teaching tools as well as organizing numerous social events including our Fun Fair, Winter Craft Night, and the Spirit of Spring Street Dinner. These events provide opportunities for our students 270 and families to work together, socialize, have fun, and develop a strong sense of community. They also foster relationships and provide opportunities for students to demonstrate social skills with others that are different than those that may be required during the school day. Although our mission was developed and articulated a few years back, it is still what we believe and demonstrate in our actions every day: • Work hard and be responsible for our learning. • Support each other as we give our best effort to reach high academic goals. • Respect our differences as we work together to make the world a better place. We are proud of the work we do at Spring Street School and look forward to supporting our students as they continue to grow, learn, and become hard working, respectful, responsible, contributing citizens of our community.

Floral Street School Floral Street School is in its twenty-first year proudly educating students and partnering with families and the community. Floral Street School is home to 729 students in grades 1 through 4, with 32 core classrooms ranging in size from 22-25 students per class. The Floral community is rich in diversity, with over 47% of students whose first language is not English. Our special education programs, which include a co-taught model in grades two, three, and four, provide individualized and specialized approaches to students with diverse learning needs. The Floral Faculty works diligently to continuously strengthen our curriculum so that it reflects the state frameworks in Math, Science, and English Language Arts and provides a rigorous and engaging learning experience for every child. Walk into any classroom and you will see students reading from a variety of genres and at differing levels of complexity. Teachers and tutors provide reading instruction to small groups and individual students focused on their specific needs and readiness for new learning. We implement the Shrewsbury Writing Project to incorporate opportunities for informative, narrative, and opinion writing across the curriculum and across all grades. We utilize the Math in Focus program as a core math instructional resource in all classrooms. Floral educators provide students with multiple opportunities to engage in mathematical discourse and complex problem-solving. Teams of teachers work closely with one another and with the two Floral Instructional Coaches to engage learners in the key mathematical practices that will prepare them to be critical thinkers, persistent problem-solvers, and precise mathematicians. We are preparing for a full implementation of a new science curriculum next year to align with updated science and technology/ engineering standards that emphasize scientific practices to develop conceptual understanding and foster curiosity, innovation, collaboration, and critical thinking skills. We have increased access to technology in classrooms to support our students’ learning. The core values of our school serve as the foundation of how students and adults learn together at Floral Street School. These values: respect; demonstrating a positive attitude; working together; and maximizing our learning are echoed by children and adults continuously as we reflect on the skills and behaviors we 271 employ to reach our learning goals together. We at Floral use our FACTS and CARES to demonstrate what it looks like, sounds like, and feels like to live out those core values. We use our FACTS (Focus, Attitude, Confidence, Try our Best, Stamina) to help us to be successful scholars; we use our CARES (Cooperation, Assertion, Responsibility, Empathy, Self-Control) to be caring and respectful individuals as we learn and work together. At Floral Street School there are traditions that abound and bring out the joy in our learning community. From our Community Reading Day, to All-School reads and writes, Family Fun Fair, All School Meetings, and exploring the Nature Trail - students, staff, and parents gear up for these experiences that celebrate learning and promote a school culture that brims with pride and joy in learning together. There are many teams of teachers, parents, and students that collaborate to make rich and varied learning experiences available for our students. We are grateful to our PTO for their tireless efforts to raise funds in order to provide updated instructional and technology resources and fund enriching learning experiences for students. Our PTO is committed to making investments in our school that support the district’s strategic priorities. Our Student Council members engage our school community in highly successful community service projects as well as culture-building experiences for all members of our school. Without question, our teachers and support staff are highly-qualified educators who go above and beyond every day to make sure our students are learning at high levels in all areas of their education- academic, social, behavioral, and mental/ physical health. We know our teaching success lies in the power of professional learning teams. At any given moment in our school, you can be sure there is a team of educators meeting, learning, and working together. From grade level teaching teams, to student support teams, to the School Community Committee, to the monthly trainings of paraprofessionals, to teachers engaged in job-embedded learning with the Instructional Coaches, educators at Floral are continuously seeking professional improvement to best serve the learning of our students and community. We continue to be grateful for the high levels of support and volunteerism we receive each day from parents and community members, including former Floral students now attending Shrewsbury High School. We remain committed to providing the best education possible for every child that has the good fortune of being a part of our school community.

Sherwood Middle School Sherwood Middle School (SMS) is home to approximately 1000 fifth and sixth grade students and 175 faculty members. On January 23, 2013, the new school building opened its doors to students, faculty, families and community members. We are very grateful to the Shrewsbury community and the Sherwood Middle School Building Committee for supporting this phenomenal educational facility. Sherwood Middle School provides a comprehensive, progressive, ecologically sound, and efficient educational environment for middle school students. Major initiatives in the design of the school included the integration of a 1:1 iPad program, facilities to support innovation, project-based learning, and differentiated and inclusive learning. The school design embodies a welcoming environment for students, faculty, families, and visitors. The school is designed with five smaller

272 neighborhoods, each of which includes one large common area where students and faculty meet together. Each neighborhood is designed with state-of-the art technology that allows for small and large groups of students and faculty to engage in collaborative learning opportunities in a workshop style environment. Sherwood Middle School’s culture is strong and vibrant, as evidenced by faculty, parent, and student survey data. The tenor and tone of grade level Community Meetings, the SMS Student Voice activities, and faculty and department meetings are positive examples of our unwavering commitment to teaching and learning. State of the art technology, including iPads for all students; interactive boards with display capabilities in all learning spaces; and school monitors displaying student work, core values quotes, and important announcements, enhance teaching and learning at our school. Students at Sherwood Middle School are placed on one of ten grade level teams consisting of one math and science teacher, one English language arts and social studies teacher, and one special education teacher. Instructional aides support student learning, and are shared across teaching teams. The average class size for each of our forty, fifth and sixth grade homerooms is 25 students. The Sherwood Middle School community developed The Sherwood Middle School Touchstone, a school constitution that expresses our core beliefs about teaching and learning. The Touchstone includes the following: Sherwood Middle School is a community of independent learners who treat others respectfully and responsibly. At our school, students and faculty stand up for what we believe in, celebrate our differences, and make learning fun. Our positive attitudes create a path to success. At Sherwood Middle School, we persevere and confidently strive to do our best. We learn from our mistakes and understand the importance of honesty. We are a community whose core values lead the way! In addition to The Sherwood Middle School Touchstone, we focus our words, thoughts, and actions on our core values. These include acceptance, respect, responsibility, honesty, perseverance, cooperation, generosity, kindness, and gratitude. We strongly believe that if we follow our Touchstone and live our core values, we will positively contribute to our local and global communities. Our school community focuses on the unique needs of the early adolescent. The faculty is highly qualified and committed to teaching and learning. Our monthly Community Meetings celebrate academic and social accomplishments, while reinforcing the importance of working together. At SMS, students participate in a variety of learning experiences including Music, Art, Physical Education, Band, Chorus, Orchestra, Health Education, Wellness, Curriculum Connections, and Foreign Language (Spanish, French, and Mandarin Chinese). Students are encouraged to participate in after school opportunities including Student Voice, fall and spring running clubs, yoga, ceramics, 3D printing, Math Club, Lego Robotics, Speech Club, Ski Club, and the SMS Musical. We know that middle

273 school students are best served when offered a range of opportunities in which to become involved during and after the school day. These experiences have lifelong effects that strengthen students’ academic, social, and emotional learning.

Oak Middle School Our mission statement and core values clarify what we stand for and how we approach the work of teaching and learning. Our mission: • To become a world class middle school where all students are prepared academically, socially, emotionally, and physically for success in high school and beyond. Our core values: • Demonstrate honesty, integrity, courtesy, and kindness • Act on the belief that effective effort is the key to success • Engage in active learning that promotes understanding of our ever-changing world • Accept each individual unconditionally, honor our diversity, and help one another and the community • Share the responsibility for continuous improvement and collaborate in order to maximize learning for all • Celebrate effort, creativity, courage, and excellence In order to accomplish our mission, Oak Middle School is structured to provide students with a nurturing team environment as well as a fully functional schedule that includes performing and visual arts, foreign language, health, physical education, intervention and extension opportunities. With over 1000 students, Oak Middle School uses a team approach to middle school organization whereby students remain in smaller groups of about 100 students with four core academic teachers for a majority of their school day. This creates a small-school instructional setting while allowing students and teachers the resource advantages of a larger school. This team organization also enables students and teachers to build relationships that contribute to individual student success. Through professional collaboration, the staff at OMS focuses on improving teaching and assessment practices. Under the direction of curriculum coordinators/ liaisons in Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and English/Language Arts, teachers and support staff work together to identify the most important standards for student performance and continuously evaluate student proficiency levels on assessments. This allows OMS to meet students at their instructional level and move them towards improved growth. Our advanced mathematics coach not only teaches advanced mathematics classes to our highest achieving math students, but coaches teachers on advanced instructional methods, has expanded our teachers’ instructional repertoire and allowed them to further meet the needs of advanced learners. Our focus on integrating instructional technology via our one-to-one digital device program encourages innovation, efficiency, and collaboration among students and between teachers. Oak Middle School enjoys the support of its Parent/Teacher Organization, faculty 274 advisors, and parents in offering a variety of community events, co-curricular, and athletic opportunities for 7th and 8th grade students. The PTO supports enrichment activities with assembly programs such as Shakespeare Alive, an interactive introduction to the study of Shakespeare. They sponsor events such as field trips, school dances, and national academic competitions. Faculty advisors and parent volunteers make it possible for OMS to offer a variety of clubs and interscholastic sports. Students are active in Student Council, STAR student mediators, Science Olympiad, Math Counts, Speech and Debate Team, Chess Club, Community Service and Leadership Club, plays and musicals, Ski Club, interscholastic basketball, field hockey, track, baseball/softball, and cross-country teams for boys and girls, and voice/instrumental ensembles. The rich options for student involvement in the OMS community along with its high academic standards make it a well-rounded educational experience for students and families.

Shrewsbury High School The Shrewsbury High School community enjoyed another successful and productive year. Students, parents and faculty members continued to feel a great sense of pride and spirit. Once again, student achievement was high as evidenced by outstanding standardized test scores, as well as participation levels in co-curricular activities. Shrewsbury High School (SHS) was again cited as a silver medal recipient in U.S. News & World Report’s ranking of the nation’s best high schools. Shrewsbury High School’s national ranking of 870 out of over 20,000 high schools is in the top 5% in the United States, along with a Massachusetts' ranking of 47 out of over 300 high schools in what is by many measures the strongest public education state in the nation. The Shrewsbury High School community continued their long tradition of volunteerism and service as evidenced by a large number of students conducting volunteer service hours and by the organization of numerous events supporting a variety of worthy causes. During the fall of 2018, students and staff at SHS raised over $5,000 to support breast cancer research and additionally raised $11,000 to support the Ava Roy Fund. The SHS community also held events to support the efforts of the American Red Cross, the American Cancer Society, St. Anne’s Parish Thrift Shop and Food Pantry, Andy’s Attic, Worcester County Food Bank, Belmont Street School, the Mustard Seed, and many more charities and programs. Our students continued their commitment to volunteer service by focusing on the school-based initiative, The 10,000 Hour Challenge. This program challenges students in each class to conduct volunteer service within our community with the long-term goal of having each class contribute 10,000 hours of service by the time they graduate. Over the last seven years, students have conducted over 100,000 hours supporting the local, national and global communities. To celebrate the accomplishment the school hosted a recognition ceremony in February where Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito, State Representative Hannah Kane, State Senator Michael Moore, and Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs Matt Beaton provided citations on this accomplishment from the Governor, the House of Representatives, and the Senate. Shrewsbury High School continues to offer students the opportunity to participate 275 in over 60 clubs and activities. This was the twelfth year that a flat fee of $100 was required for participation. Overall student participation in activities has remained relatively stable. Despite the annual user fee, clubs continue to have large memberships. The Performing Arts department celebrated its 50th year of musicals by producing All Shook Up in March. The production of All Shook Up captured numerous state awards including Best Overall Production, Best Stage Crew, and Technical Excellence. Additionally, SHS students participated, produced and performed in the statewide competition play, Punk Rock. Meanwhile, the students showcased their talents in the fall play Our Town. Many performing arts students auditioned and were selected to represent Shrewsbury High School at the Central District Festival and the Massachusetts All-State Music Festival. Throughout 2018, several art students displayed work at local businesses and museums and many earned statewide recognition from the Scholastic Art and Writing Competition. In May 2018, the Visual Arts department once again transformed the Largess Commons into a gallery for their annual student showcase and awards night. The school newspaper, The Town Crier, published multiple editions online. The Robotics team continued its success and captured numerous awards and traveled to Detroit, Michigan to compete in the World Championships. The Speech and Debate Team competed in two national competitions in Washington, DC and Fort Lauderdale, Florida and continued to excel in state and regional meets. Our student-athletes continued to represent the Shrewsbury community well. This was the thirteenth year that athletes have been required to pay a participation fee. This year the fee was increased to $310 per sport with a family cap of $930. During 2018, 28 of 31 varsity teams qualified for post-season play. During the winter season, boys’ indoor track teams were named Midland-Wachusett League Division A champions. The girls’ ice hockey team were conference champions. The boys’ ice hockey team were the conference champions and captured the MIAA Division 3 State Championship at the Boston Garden for the second consecutive year. Spring of 2018 saw the boys’ and girls’ tennis teams and boys’ outdoor track teams win the Midland-Wachusett League Championship and the girls’ tennis and softball teams were District Finalists. In the fall of 2018, the football team participated in the District Finals for the second consecutive year. The Class of 2018 saw three student-athletes sign National Letters of Intent (NLI) to participate in NCAA athletics. The student-athletes signed NLIs in the following sports: field hockey and lacrosse. Additionally, ten student-athletes from the Class of 2018 reported that they would participate in NCAA athletics for the 2018-2019 school year. Shrewsbury continued to receive additional financial support for the athletic program from the booster club and from the sponsorship campaign. Local businesses and families contributed over $25,000 to support athletic programming. The major donor was Central One Federal Credit Union who contributed $20,000. The School Department successfully conducted a fundraising campaign to install a synthetic field on the school’s stadium main field. The fundraising campaign raised $2.1 million dollars. Central One Federal Credit Union has been the largest donor to date, committing $750,000 to the project, and the Adams Family contributed $250,000 towards the project that was completed during the fall of 2018.

276 Finally, Shrewsbury High School students distinguished themselves locally and nationally in many academic areas. Members of the Class of 2020 performed well on the spring 2018 MCAS, where 97% of students scored advanced or proficient in English and 90% of students scored advanced or proficient in mathematics. Additionally, Class of 2020 students participated in the Science and Technology/ Engineering MCAS and 88% of these students scored advanced or proficient. Students once again scored above the state and national averages on the SAT Test with 88% of all students in the Class of 2018 taking the SAT. Furthermore, 148 students in the Class of 2018 participated in ACT testing. In the spring of 2018, SHS students took a combined 765 Advanced Placement exams. Ninety- four percent of all students in the Class of 2018 passed with a score of 3 or better (exams are scored on a scale of 1 to 5). Shrewsbury High School also had 141 students recognized as AP Scholars, AP Scholars with Honors, AP Scholars with Distinction, and AP National Scholars, for their outstanding performance on multiple Advanced Placement exams. The National Merit Scholarship program commended 18 SHS students for scoring in the top 2-3% on PSATs, while five students were identified as semi-finalists scoring in the top 1-1.5% of test takers, and one student received the National Merit Scholarship. The Shrewsbury High School community has continued to provide outstanding opportunities for students that embody our school’s values to help support and ensure all students become capable, caring, and active contributors to the world in which they live.

PERSONNEL Key to the success of a school system is the ability to recruit and appoint outstanding teachers, administrators, and support personnel. The district uses a comprehensive personnel process that includes building administrators, teachers, parents, community members and students. This process continues to result in the appointment of outstanding administrators and teachers. In addition, each year there are a small number of staff that are not invited to return to the district to continue their employment based on their performance not meeting the district’s high standards. The district's administrators work very hard to maintain the high standards that this community expects from its school system. The 2018-2019 school year saw an increase in staffing to a total of 844.17 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff, approved in the budget (actual FTE “head count” on October 1, 2018 was 837.97 positions). This is an increase of 19.86 positions from the projected staffing level a year ago of 824.31 in 2017-2018. This change primarily represents hiring mandated paraprofessional positions. Due to retirements, leaves of absences, resignations, additions, and non-renewals the district welcomed 35 new teachers and one administrator for the start of the 2018-2019 school year. Jeffrey Lane was appointed as the Director of Physical Education, Health, and Family Consumer Science. Sixteen staff members retired at the end of the 2017-2018 school year (June 2018). It is important to recognize each of these individuals for their commitment and dedication to the children of Shrewsbury. Listed below are the names,

277 positions, and years of service to Shrewsbury. Several of these individuals also worked in other school districts prior to their arrival in Shrewsbury. The entire community wishes a happy and healthy retirement to all our retirees.

CLOSING STATEMENT The community is rightfully proud of the excellence demonstrated by its schools. There is no question that the quality of life in our community is enhanced by the contributions made by students, faculty and staff, parents, and community members. This past year signaled the community’s strong support of public education in Shrewsbury with the overwhelming success of the vote to support the building of a new Beal School. Our town will be a better place because of it. It remains an honor and a privilege to serve as the superintendent of an outstanding school district in a great community. Respectfully submitted, Joseph M. Sawyer, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools

291 BOARD OF SELECTMEN

John I. Lebeaux, Chair (2019) Maurice M. DePalo, Vice Chair (2020) Moira E. Miller, Clerk (2019) Beth N. Casavant (2020) James F. Kane (2021)

MEETINGS The Board of Selectmen meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room in the Richard D. Carney Municipal Office Building. The Board will also meet at other times and other places as circumstances dictate. At these meetings the Board conducts the general business of the Town of Shrewsbury pursuant to Town Charter and the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The meeting schedule, agenda, and minutes are available by visiting or contacting the Selectmen’s Office (508-841-8504) or by accessing shrewsbury-ma.gov. The regular meetings are broadcast live on Shrewsbury Government Access Channels 30 and 330 and are replayed at other times for public convenience. In addition to the regularly scheduled business meetings, the Board holds special meetings and workshops. The Board invites our U.S. Congressman, State Senator and State Representative to visit our regular meetings at any time of their convenience and maintains active communications with each office as issues and circumstances dictate. Such meetings continue to be an excellent forum for the exchange of ideas, discussing how federal and state policies and programs affect the Town of Shrewsbury and to ensure one message is being conveyed to our legislators. The Board continued its practice to review particular issues with the Town Manager and appropriate Department Heads at workshop sessions. In 2018, the Board held several Financial workshops. In addition, joint meetings with the Finance Committee, Personnel Board and School Committee are held as necessary throughout the year to ensure a full, open and public dialogue is maintained. The Board also meets with other boards and commissions at various times as circumstances dictate. In addition to its regular meetings, the Board produces a cable access television program, Selectmen’s Roundtable. The program’s purpose is to allow the Board to present to the public issues concerning the Town in a more informal manner than at the regular meetings. This program is seen at various times on Shrewsbury Public Access Channels 30/330 and is also available on demand through Shrewsbury Media Connection’s Online Video Library.

BOARD MEMBERS At the Annual Town Election held on the first Tuesday in May 2018, James F. Kane was re-elected to the Board. The Board then organized as follows: John I. Lebeaux, Chairman; Maurice M. DePalo, Vice Chairman; Moira E. Miller, Clerk; Beth N. Casavant and James F. Kane, Members. 292 TOWN MANAGER Throughout 2018 the Board supported Mr. Mizikar as he completed his first year of employment as Town Manager. In June, the Board approved Mr. Mizikar’s goals for fiscal year 2019 in six main areas of financial management, information technology, human resources, economic development, green communities, and capital improvement projects. In August, the Board conducted its first annual evaluation of the Town Manager’s performance to date. Its overall rating was good to excellent. Board members unanimously indicated they were extremely pleased with Mr. Mizikar’s first year and the generally seamless transition associated with a new town manager coming on board.

ACTIVITIES AND ISSUES As the executive body of the Town, the Board of Selectmen oversees the policies of our municipal government. It conducts hearings as the Local Licensing Authority, acts as Appointing Authority for several department head positions and several boards and commissions, acts as both Road and Water Commissioners, and proposes legislation to the Town Meeting throughout the year. Items of particular note for the year 2018 are outlined below. Additional information may be found within individual departmental reports contained in this Town Report.

ROUTE 140/290 IMPROVEMENTS In January, the Board reviewed the Route 140 South Corridor Study which examined the area in Boylston and Shrewsbury in the area of the Route 140/ Interstate 290 interchange. A major non-residential project is currently proposed in this vicinity in Boylston; expectations are that the already poorly performing intersection of Colonial Drive and Route 140 will be stressed even more by the Boylston project. Any transportation improvements to the road system will be made under the authority of the Mass. Department of Transportation-Highway Division. The Board continues to advocate on behalf of the Town and the residents in the area with Mass DOT, the Town of Boylston, and the developers to find a solution that improves safety and traffic flow.

PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY While issues related to “brown water” caused by the naturally occurring presence of manganese in water supplies throughout the northeast continues to impact Shrewsbury water users, the October 2018 completion and activation of the new $12 million water treatment facility is a tremendous advance in correcting the issue, as the new treatment plant’s biological manganese filtration system prevents additional manganese from entering the system. Though this is not a public health issue, the Board realizes how disappointing and aggravating it is to have discolored water come out of our taps. Still ongoing is the removal of built up manganese that is within the distribution 293 system. The changes to both the biology and chemistry of the system intentionally created by the new treatment plant will cause much of this build up to break up; though this is the long-term desired outcome, in the short term it may cause random, localized short-term brown water events. To mitigate, the Water Department will continue to conduct hydrant flushing to remove manganese and sediments from the water supply. The Board acknowledges the issues and thanks the ratepayers for their patience and understanding. The construction of the new Water Treatment Facility is the key component of a permanent solution. The Board expects that the worst is behind us and that we are well on our way to resolution to the problem.

GREEN COMMUNITY DESIGNATION In September, the Board adopted an Energy Reduction Plan intended to reduce our municipal government’s energy consumption by 20%. This action represents the Town satisfying the last of five criteria necessary to receive Green Community designation by the Mass. Department of Energy Resources. The Board expects the Town will receive official designation in early 2019 and then begin to avail itself the related benefits.

BEAL SCHOOL PROJECT The Beal School Building Committee chaired by Selectman Kane continued to advance the project in 2018, leading to approval of the debt exclusion ballot question by a vote of 1076 in favor to 533 in opposition. With the approval the project moves ahead with completion anticipated in 2021. Simultaneously, the Beal Reuse Committee was constituted in 2018 with Selectman DePalo serving as its chairman and Maribeth Lynch as its at-large appointee. The Reuse Committee’s charge is to undertake a comprehensive analysis of potential reuses for the Beal Early Childhood Center property. The analyses should include future public uses as well as the potential benefits of disposing of the property located at 1 Maple Avenue.

RETIREMENT VALUATION In December, the Board met with members of the Finance Committee, Retirement Board, and Daniel Sherman of Sherman Actuarial Services to review the current report and projection. The Town is in position to reach its goal of the retirement system being fully funded prior to its internal deadline of FY2022. The Board has long committed to a “2022 or bust” position to fully fund the system. The Board appreciates and acknowledges the Finance Committee’s and Town Meeting’s support of this goal. Though there were real short-term sacrifices, the long-term benefits to the town’s fiscal health will positively serve the community for decades.

294 LEGALIZED ADULT USE MARIJUANA In the November 8, 2016 election, Question 4 on the State ballot legalized recreational marijuana in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Because Shrewsbury voters cast more no votes than yes votes on Question 4, the legislation allowed the Board of Selectmen and Town Meeting the ability to implement local control bylaws or completely ban recreational marijuana facilities. On January 23, 2018, the Board of Selectmen held a public hearing to hear from residents on the matters pertaining to recreational marijuana establishments. Following discussions, the Board voted 4-0 to hold a Special Town Meeting on the issue on April 23, 2018 (Chairman John Lebeaux recused himself from all discussion and votes regarding recreational marijuana due to his membership on the state Cannabis Advisory Board). After discussion and debate by the Town Meeting, four articles were voted upon. They were: Article 1. Prohibit the sale of recreational marijuana in the town of Shrewsbury. Defeated 97-78. Article 2. Limit recreational marijuana sales to Limited Industrial and Commercial Business zones and to allow testing labs, growing facilities and marijuana product manufacturing to Limited Industrial, Office research, and Limited Office Research zones by special permit by the Planning Board. Approved by a 2/3 majority. Article 3. Impose a local sales tax on recreational marijuana sales. Approved unanimously. Article 4. Prohibit the consumption of all marijuana on Town property. Approved by 2/3 majority. In July, after a public hearing and approving a Community Host Agreement requiring the vendor to pay a 3% fee on all recreational marijuana sales to defray any related additional town costs, the Board of Selectmen voted to allow Prime Wellness to sell recreational marijuana (in addition to the previously approved sale of medical marijuana). As of December 31, 2018 this establishment has yet to open. In October, the Board instructed the Town Manager to negotiate a Community Host Agreement with PharmaCann involving the sale of recreational marijuana. As of December 31, 2018 that agreement has yet to be finalized.

CLOSING As much as 2017 was a year of tremendous change and turnover within the municipal organization, in 2018 the organization moved ahead in its traditional fashion, improving efficiencies of how to best deliver the high level of municipal services our residents expect at an average residential tax bill that compares very favorably to both nearby and similar municipalities. The Board wishes to acknowledge the consistently excellent work of the town employees, and the elected and appointed officials. The Board extends its profound thanks and wishes long, happy and healthy retirements to those 295 municipal employees who left the Town’s employ in 2018: Deborah Alger, Library; Robert Cox, Public Buildings; Karin Hemmerdinger, Highway: John Knipe, Highway; James Libbey, Highway: Norman Ludivico, SELCO; Mark Maciejewski SELCO; and Sharon Martin, Library. The Board notes with its highest regard 2018 retirees Superintendent of Public Buildings Bob Cox and Highway Superintendent John Knipe. These gentlemen each worked for this community for over thirty years, overseeing very high-profile operations with which our residents interact on a daily basis. They have done so with great distinction and are exemplary examples of dedicated public servants. Thank you, Bob and John! The Board depends on the staff of the combined Offices of the Board of Selectmen and the Town Manager so that it may properly discharge its duties and responsibilities. The Board is grateful for the support of Mr. Mizikar, Ms. Las, Ms. Clemmey and Mr. Snowdon; who provide the Board and our residents with the highest level of professional support.

Respectfully submitted, Board of Selectmen

298 SEWER & WATER DEPARTMENT

Robert Tozeski, Superintendent Sewer Commissioners: Peter Reilly, Chairman Joseph Zecco Alfred Confalone

The 113th year of Municipal Water Operation

GENERAL The Shrewsbury Sewer and Water Department consists of a Superintendent, one general foreman, two working foreman, one treatment plant operator, eight maintenance craftsmen, three full time secretaries, and one part time meter reader.

WATER DEPARTMENT The new Water Treatment Plant which started construction in July, 2017 became fully operational in early October of 2018. The project involved the building of a new plant using a biological filter treatment system for manganese removal along with chemical addition process controls. During construction, the former plant remained online until new plant completion along with the changing over of pumping and electrical equipment at six of our eight existing supply wells. The project was completed ahead of schedule and under budget. After a filter acclimation period of approximately three weeks, the manganese level of finished water entering the system remained close to or at zero. As with any change with a new system entering into an existing older system, there is a transition period. With the manganese now being removed prior to entry into the distribution system along with other chemistry makeup changes, any existing manganese in the pipelines can start to loosen and slough off. Due to this circumstance, customers in different areas experienced water discoloration of varying degrees. As the plant water continues to work through the system along with system flushing, this issue should continue to diminish. A contract was awarded during the year to Haluch Water Contracting, Inc. out of Ludlow, MA for water main replacement. Work was completed for all of Edgemere Blvd., Lakeside Dr., and Bay View Dr. Francis Ave also had water main and service replacement from Paton Rd. to Main St. including the Main St. intersection over to Holman St. Work also continued on the Sewell St. replacement well project. Test wells were installed and evaluated. By year’s end, final approval had been received from Mass DEP for well construction. Also while hexavalent chromium levels remained extremely low throughout the year, the Department proactively pilot tested a biological system to see if hex chrome could be removed with this process. Tests were conducted on monitoring wells on the property’s southwestern boundary

299 and showed promising results initially. We continue to monitor our supply wells along with the monitoring wells. In closing this report it would not be complete without a sincere thanks to all our office staff and field personnel whose dedication and hard work enable our Department to operate effectively to serve our customers.

SEWER DEPARTMENT REPORT The Board of Sewer Commissioners meets monthly generally on the second Tuesday of the month @ 7:30 P.M. in the Richard D. Carney Municipal Office Building. The Board acts upon abatements, petitions for sewerage, and other related system matters. Work was completed at our Jamesbury and Eaglehead Cove Pump Stations for station upgrades. New pumping and electrical equipment was installed at each location along with telemetry monitoring instrumentation. Infiltration and Inflow (I& I) work continued throughout the year. Flow isolation was performed on approximately 69,800 linear feet of sanitary sewer pipes. Also, approximately 73,800 linear feet of piping were cleaned and television inspected along with inspections of approximately 410 sewer manholes. This work is ongoing to remove groundwater and rainfall from entering the sewer systems and causing corresponding issues. 300 The Town worked with the city of Worcester to reach an Intermunicipal Agreement to convey sewer from the Rte. 20 Edgemere area into their system. The agreement will allow up to 1.5 million gallons per day to be transmitted into Worcester. There are three different phases of the project extending from the Edgemere area up to Cherry St. The schedule of completion will depend on various factors including future development demand. In conjunction with this project, the Town worked throughout the year with Bardon Trimount to acquire a land easement located on their property on Lake St. to build a future sewer pump station. This future station will take flow presently entering our Arrowwood Pump Station and divert flow back along Rte. 20 into the Worcester system. Also during the year the existing sewer main installed in the later 1990’s was tested for pipe integrity along the Rte. 20 corridor in Edgemere for adequacy to reverse flow back into Worcester. Lastly, a word of thanks is in order for all Sewer personnel who did an outstanding job throughout the year in maintaining service to all our customers while working under adverse conditions.

301 TOWN COUNSEL

Stephen F. Madaus, Town Counsel

It is an honor to serve the Town of Shrewsbury as Town Counsel. My office represents the Board of Selectmen, the Town Manager and the various boards, committees and departments in all legal matters pertaining to the functions and operations of Town government. We represent the Town in all trials in the courts and before administrative agencies in the Commonwealth. The following is the status of cases in litigation as of December 31, 2018 and a report on general matters: PENDING Superior Court New England Power Company d/b/a National Grid v. Thomas P. Garganigo, Edward M. DeFeudis, Trustee of Coles Pond Nominee Trust, Town of Shrewsbury and its Zoning Board of Appeals, Civil Action No. 16-85CV0296 We represent the Town and the members of the Zoning Board of Appeals (“ZBA”) in an appeal by New England Power Company d/b/a National Grid to the Worcester Superior Court (Case No. 1685CV01296) of three special permits for an automotive business at 155-173 Hartford Turnpike granted by the Board to Thomas Garganigo and the Coles Pond Nominee Trust. National Grid alleges that the Board erred in granting the special permits that allegedly infringe on National Grid’s rights to a utility easement at the property. By agreement with counsel of National Grid, the case has been stayed while National Grid attempts to negotiate a settlement with Mr. Garganigo and the Trust regarding the utility easement issues. Those negotiations are continuing and the case remains pending.

303 VETERANS’ SERVICES ANNUAL REPORT

MISSION The mission of the Central Massachusetts Veterans’ District is to act as the chief advocate for Veterans residing in Grafton, Northborough, Shrewsbury, and Westborough. We do this by: • Helping Veterans navigate available federal, state, and local programs and benefits; • Serve as a center of information for Veterans and their families; • Coordinate Veterans’ services across federal and state agencies as well as local municipal governments; • Develop innovative, flexible programming and outreach to address Veterans’ needs; • Provide individualized support where necessary.

BENEFITS There are a variety of benefits available to Veterans and their families residing in Shrewsbury. The most common benefits applied for through the Central Massachusetts Veterans’ District are described below.

FEDERAL BENEFITS Disability Compensation is a tax free monetary benefit paid to Veterans with disabilities that are the result of a disease or injury incurred or aggravated during active military service. Compensation may also be paid for post-service disabilities that are considered related or secondary to disabilities occurring in service and for disabilities presumed to be related to circumstances of military service, even though they may arise after service. Generally, the degrees of disability specified are also designed to compensate for considerable loss of working time from exacerbations or illnesses. Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) is a tax free monetary benefit generally payable to a surviving spouse, child, or parent of Servicemembers who died while on active duty, active duty for training, or inactive duty training or survivors of Veterans who died from their service-connected disabilities. DIC for parents is an income based benefit. Veterans Pension* is a tax-free monetary benefit payable to low-income wartime Veterans. Survivors Pension* is a tax-free monetary benefit payable to low-income surviving spouses who have never remarried and/or unmarried dependent children of a deceased Veteran with wartime service.

*Veterans and survivors who are eligible for Pension benefits and are housebound or require the aid and attendance of another person may be eligible to receive additional monetary amounts. 304 STATE BENEFITS Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 115 provides a uniform program of financial and medical assistance for low-income veterans and their dependents. Qualifying veterans and their dependents receive necessary financial assistance for food, shelter, clothing, and medical care. Veterans’ Bonuses are offered through the Massachusetts’ Department of the State Treasurer for those who served during World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. An annuity in the amount of $2,000 (payable biannually on August 1st and February 1st in two installments of $1,000 each) is given in recognition of the service of our distinguished 100% service-connected disabled veterans and to the parents of distinguished veterans (Gold Star Parents) and the non-remarried spouses (Gold Star Wives or Husbands) of distinguished Veterans who gave their lives in the service of their country during wartime. Additional information on these and other benefits can be found on www. centralmassvets.org.

BENEFIT ADMINISTRATION In 2018, the Central Massachusetts Veterans’ District administered a Massachusetts General Law Chapter 115 benefits budget of $201,400 for Shrewsbury residents. Benefits distributed to eligible veteran families are generally reimbursed by the Commonwealth at 75% for established residents and at 100% for transitional residents, such as those living in local facilities for homeless Veterans.

2018 OVERVIEW The District is served by a full-time Veterans’ Services Director and two part- time Veterans’ Services Officers. The staff offers regular office hours in each of the four towns. Veterans residing in the district are free to meet with any of the District’s Officers in any location. Current walk-in hours and contact information is available at www.centralmassvets.org or by calling (774) 551-5782. Veterans and their family members seeking information regarding benefits are strongly encouraged to speak with a Veterans’ Services Officer. The District’s website, www.centralmassvets.org, may be used as a self-help resource for Veterans seeking information regarding benefits. Traffic to the website has remained steady with around 7,000 views between January and December 2018, compared to 7,200 for the same period in 2017. Payments to public assistance recipients in Shrewsbury under Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 115 rose from $167,901 in 2017 to $201,400 in 2018. This 16 percent increase was primarily due to greater outreach through the Shrewsbury Senior Center to eligible low-income veteran families, as well as an influx in the number of transitional residents housed at Independence Hall, a local shelter for homeless Veterans run by Veterans Inc.

305 Most local Veterans and family members seen in our office are seeking information and assistance accessing benefits offered through the Department of Veterans Affairs, to include disability compensation and pensions. Westborough residents are collectively receiving approximately $5 million in annual compensation through the VA’s disability and pension programs. At the time of this writing there are 25 open claims currently on file through the district. The district coordinated, hosted, and participated in various events throughout 2018, including various memorial services, benefit education programs, and Memorial and Veterans Day activities. Pictures and information on these events can be found on the Central Massachusetts Veterans’ District Facebook page. Respectfully submitted, Justin Sousa Director Central Massachusetts Veterans’ Services District

307 TREASURER-COLLECTOR’S OFFICE

Laurie A. Gaudet, Treasurer-Collector Wendy Ricciardi, Assistant Treasurer-Collector

Moody’s affirmed the Town’s Aa2 rating on $61.1 million of outstanding General Obligation debt. The Aa2 rating reflects the Town’s sizeable tax base with above average wealth levels, satisfactory financial position and manageable debt and pension burdens. At Town Meeting, on October 22, 2018, it was approved that the Town would seek to borrow $92,835,000.00 in July of 2019 for the new Beal School. Collections remain steady with each commitment of taxes and receivables due the Town. Properties in Tax Title have been pursued to collect all taxes that are due. Additional attention will be given to Tax Title collections in 2019. Comparatively the number of Tax Titles is very low in the Town. Total investment income for FY2018 was $615,506.37 compared to $427,166.80 for FY2017. Considering the yield on a comparable municipal benchmark - the Massachusetts Municipal Depository Trust (MMDT) – it did move materially throughout the year, from 0.91% (30-day yield) on June 30, 2017 to 1.59% on June 30, 2018. I am satisfied with our overall investment income for Fiscal Year 2018. Given the impressive and stable returns in an historic time period for interest rates, I am confident in the stewardship and acumen demonstrated by our investment advisors. I wish to thank the staff in the Treasurer’s Office for their continued professional service to me and the residents of town. I am supported by Wendy Ricciardi: Amanda Favreau: Justine Stenman; Katie Putnam; and the Town’s Deputy Collectors, Kelley & Ryan Associates, Inc.
