Alden Tansey Vernon Trudo Budget Process Advisory Committee Vivian Barry, Chairman Richard Jarvis Richard Piper Jack Ruonala Attila Farkas Richard Medlyn, Selectmen's Representative - Selectmen's Report for 1986 IL would appear that Milford's voters see the issue of the control of growth to be tied to a limitation on water supply. There is no shortage of water in the ground but our ability to pump it and deliver it is running near to capacity. Town Meeting said No to selling the Savage Well to WELLCO, No to a new well and to an intermunicipal connec- tion but filso No at a Special Town Meeting ballot in June when a growth- c^ontroJ ordinance was offered, contingent upon the availability of water. There is no argument with our need for a backup supply "just in case". Hov^ can we achieve that safety without its being a newly openned door? The issue uf ,sewer extensions took on the same "growth -control" aspect although by year's end a policy had been adopted v-zhereby sewer ejvtensions could be put in place but not connected m until Sludge Composting is operational. The Selectmen, after much prudent postpone- iiicnt. voted tc;' promote the issue of a backup intermunicipal water con- nootion dt tho next Town Meeting. A '.XimpIetH municipal coinputer package was purchased and by year's end most oT the dat^i and programs wert-> installed and in use by all departments vi.nd a large .spreadsheet had fnade possible a uniform bud- 'jetma pt^">cedure. The Police Department I'o operating on its own oi'input.er' system. An m depth i;.tud,, of ttie Town Hall showed what might be possible for the r''.'.-i^:siqnfrK>nl of if^no ated spaces able to house almost all town '::ri~ice;, includinvT the Superintendent of Schools and the District Court. All indications .ire that although the project appears to be large-scale if lowed in the short term, the alternatives are unattractive and e- critiiali.. mure expe/isive. Success of the project will hinge upon findjii'i enonqhi additional parking spa^.^e near the Oval and upon the town iiiikmo a '.'ornmitment to carr\y it to coinpletion., once started.

Fedei al "ilc;ok Grant Funds. Ttris Dr^.ird was at last able to complete the final negot.iat ions in th.e lof.q s.aqa iF \.he Wastev^ater Treatment Plant. Semi-annual property taxation started with a 1st issue billing in June, based on the 1985 rate. The effect has been the reduction of Milford's short-term cash borrowing needs to about half of what they have been and it will cut them even further henceforth. However, the 2nd issue, printed from our own computer records, shattered the one-year lull as the tax rate climbed 25%. Even without buying a new water supply or police facility or school buildings the new spending at School Disrict Meeting and at Town Meeting, added to the bond payments that had already been authorized, had managed to increase our spending a lot faster this time than the increases in property valuations. Our "growth spiral" has been getting out of hand and the 1987 Meetings are likely to look at every penny. The Selectmen found themselves occasionally wanting to reverse an earlier decision as new facts and considerations came to light: sewer extension policy, the reclassification of Mile Slip Road, the granting of after-the-fact permits and the adoption of our own restaurant inspec- tion Health Ordinance. Time must be allowed for sufficient hearings and deliberations to avoid any need to rush to a decision. As 1986 ended. Sludge Composting was just about to enter its startup phase, the Wadleigh Library extension was in full operation. But most of our traditional problems are still with us. And the Red Sox blew it. TOWN MEETING 1987 WARRANT The polls will be open from 12:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. To the Inhabitants of the Town of Milford in the County of Hillsborough in said State, qualified to vote in Town Affairs: You are hereby notified to meet at the Milford High School Gymnasium in said Milford on Tuesday, the tenth day of March, next at twelve of the clock in the forenoon to act upon the following subjects, it being noted that the deliberative session of the Town meeting is to commence at six thirty in the evening: .

    Appendix A Public Meeting Notes New Hampshire Route 101 Corridor Plan Route 101 Corridor Study – Amherst, Milford, and Wilton Amherst-Milford-Wilton Public Meeting Notes September 4, 2002 6:30 – 8:30 PM A small group of residents attended the public meeting, which was held at the Milford Town Hall. Martin Kennedy, Assistant Project Manager, from Vanasse Hangen Brustlin’s Bedford office gave a presentation on the final recommendations for im- provement of Route 101. Following discussion, Jim Purdy, from Wallace Floyd De- sign Group gave a presentation on land use and development and landscaping rec- ommendations. It was noted that these recommendations had been well-received by officials in all three towns, and there was general support for the recommendations from those present. Specific comments were as follows: Traffic: • There was concern about the potential inconvenience of restricting left turns from side streets such as Saddle Hill Road in Amherst. Residents would have to travel to Joppa Hill Road in Bedford (approximately 1.5 miles) to reverse direction in order to enter their street from eastbound Route 101. It was suggested by the consultants that this tradeoff is necessary to manage access for reasons of both traffic flow and safety. The same issue was discussed in Bedford, where most of the Bedford Advisory Committee agreed that the turn restrictions are necessary and that many people already forego left turns which they believe are unsafe. There is a direct safety benefit for those people who are inconvenienced. • It was suggested that the total time required to go to a safe turn-around point such as the proposed Horace Greeley overpass would only be a couple of minutes and is not significant.
