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.

I.rmd' t ../f the V'-ar \he purcliase of the land that the Park now occupies had been ai-r j;tqeJ. aided b.. 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.

In Riverside Cemetery, work is progressing, developing a new sec- tion which will provide over a hundred new lots for sale. Vandalism was again a serious problem in West St. Cemetery. 81 monuments were pushed over, many of which were damaged. The cost to reset and repair amounted to $2,960. This caused the over-expenditure in this account. New cemetery rates became effective May 1st. This will increase the cost of purchasing lots. Perpetual Care and other services performed. In December, Joseph Pezzullo, the Cemetery foreman for the past thirteen years retired. James Mackie, who has worked for the Department of Public Works for about three and one half years, has assumed the foreman's position. The general feeling is that the Cemetery crew does an out-stan- ding job grooming our Cemeteries and Parks.

Drainage - Additional catchbasins and drain pipe was added on North River Road and in conjunction with the Library project on Nashua Street. Trash Removal - The department, as in previous years, designated two days in April when crews picked up resident trash accumulations provi- ding it was left at the curb. Inmates of the Hillsborough County Correction facility picked up trash along roadsides. This was a service offered by the County government. New Roads - Several new roads will be completed, ready for acceptance by the Town in 1987. These are Boulder Drive, Brookview Drive, Brookview Court, James Street, Crestwood Lane, extensions of Westchester Drive, Wellesley Drive, Radcliffe Drive, Georgetown Drive, Meadowbrook Drive, Arcacia Lane, Edgewood Street, Sycamore Road and Larch Road. These new roads will add another 3.2 miles to the road inventory. The road maintenance budget will have to be increased in the future in order to maintain these additional roads. Garage - Most all of the D.P.W. equipment repairs and all of the equip- ment maintenance is done by the department's full time mechanic. Police cruisers are serviced, light repairs are attended to at this facility. The addition of the floor lift has been a big help. 59 storm Damage - On July twenty-nineth, Milford and several adjacent towns to our southwest were hit with a storm that deposited about 7" of rain in about four hours. Substantial damage to roads occurred. The over- expenditure in this account was due to additional town labor required for these storm related repairs. This appropriation in 1987 will be included in the Highways, Streets and Bridges Appropriation request.

Over-Expended $ 7,380.97 HIGHWAY WINTER MAINTENANCE The month with the greatest accumulation of snow was November, 15.1", it was also November in 1985 that recorded the most snow for a single month in a calendar year. Snowfall for the year totaled 51.7" about 7" more than the previous year. The average for our area is 70". Storms frequently occurred on weekends, this increases the cost of road maintenance substantially. Plows were dispatched on 21 separate occasions, sand and salt trucks on 78 occasions. During periods of good weather trees were trimmed on Elm Street, Union Street, Whitten Road, Armory Road and Federal Hill Road. Repairs were made to the Salt Storage Shed. Sign work and winter road patching was attended to. On January twenty-seventh a period of heavy rain occurred. With the Souhegan River frozen serious flooding resulted at the Elm Street Mobile Home Trailer Park. The D.P.W. assisted local Civil Defense, Fire and Police with the emergency evacuation operation. 60 Many favorable comments have been received and your Director of Public Works agrees that the D.P.W. crew be complimented for the good job they do keeping the roads clear during the winter season.

The year's total was close to two-thirds of the long-term annual average of 70 inches for the Souhegan Valley, but was rather strangely distributed, with a fourth of the total falling in mid-November, at a time when in most years we have not even had our first light snow of the season. There were no storms of really major proportions, in terms of snowfall depth; but during the first half of the year there was a strange tendency for snow to occur on weekends. Between January 5 and March 9, there were five occasions when plowing had to be done on a Sunday or a Monday holiday. Respectfully submitted, Andrew E. Rothovius PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS Maintenance of grounds is basically mowing and in the fall raking. This is handled by both the Cemetery and Highway crew. Keyes Field - The three ball fields were limed and fertilized. Mainte- nance and repairs of the pool and equipment were attended to by regular Public Work's personnel. The two basketball backboards and hoops were replaced. The baseball field backstop was replaced with a new chain link unit. This was possible with a donation of $3,250.00 from the Keyes Memorial Foundation, Standard Fence Company of Manchester, was the contractor. Parks - Trees on the Oval, Emerson Park and in Bicentennial Park were trimmed. Maple trees at Keyes were fertilized. 62 Labor $31 ,899.28 Materials-P.W.

I held adult tennis lessons two nights a week for four weeks. I did not have a second session because there weren't enough adults inter- ested. Lessons for the younger children went well and they seemed to enjoy it very much. There were three sessions and each session was always filled. In the afternoon the recreation were such things as: Dodge ball, archery, kickball, relay races, volleyball, street hockey and a trip to Canobie Lake Park. Arts & Crafts was a big success with chil- dren of all different ages. The kids seemed to enjoy this the best which I held twice a week and would have liked to have it every day. Overall, I feel the recreation went well but wish more children were involved in the afternoon activities. Carol Hutchinson Recreation Director 63 KEYES POOL This year the swimming program at Keyes Pool consisted of swim- ming lessons, swim team, free swim and family swim. This past summer swimming lessons were conducted between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. There were seven certified Water Safety Instructors and one assistant instructor teaching lessons. Classes ranged from the beginner level to advanced lifesaving. Since the swimming program at Keyes is a Red Cross program, children under six years of age were not allowed to enroll in the beginners course. To accommodate this problem, a novice class consisting of five year olds was added to the program. The pre- beginner class was another new addition to the summer schedule. This class was constructed to divide the beginner class into smaller sections which would reduce many of the obstacles that beginning swim- mers encounter. However, this program is only recognized by the Nashua Red Cross Chapter. Three sessions, each consisting of three weeks, were held this past summer. Three hundred and fifty children participated in the program. Many of these children were involved in more than one session. On the average, 175 students passed through the program each session. Due to Milford's growth, there may be a need for junior guards to assist Water Safety Instructors within the next few years. The Keyes Swim Team competed against ten local teams such as Amherst Country Club, Jasper Valley and Baboosic Lake. Persons ages 6- 18 participated in individual and relay events at each meet. Practice sessions were conducted from 7:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. for the older members and from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. for the younger members. This year Keyes placed third in their division at the State Swim Meet. They competed over a period of three days against eight other teams from New Hampshire and Massachusetts. In addition, they placed first in their division at the annual Rotary Swim Meet which took place at Keyes Pool. The facility was open to the public from 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. for free swim. The only requirement being that children under seven years of age be accompanied by an adult. Persons over 18 years of age were allowed to swim laps between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. The day concluded with family swim which was held from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The number of people using the pool varied from day to day. On warmer days there may have been up to 350 people during the day. On cooler days there may have been as few as 25 people in the afternoon. The past summer was a relatively safe one. There were 70 minor injuries such as cuts, scrapes and bee stings. The ambulance was called once for an accident occurring on the playground. The hard work and efforts made by the staff of Keyes Pool was rewarded by a smooth and successful summer. Judith Daudier Keyes Pool Supervisor — 64 PUBLIC WORKS ADMINISTRATION 1986 was a very active year, the Town's continual growth places increasing demands on the office staff. Mrs. Shirley Carl, Water Department Account Receivable Bookkeeper since 1976, transferred to the Town's Planning Department. She was replaced with Bret Robinson. During 1987 we will begin to utilize the Town's new computer for budget control and accounting. The collection of money for water and sewer bills will be done at the Town Clerk's office rather than Public iWorks. These steps have been taken to make the publics transaction of business in the Town Hall more convenient.

A variety of job work was done for developers and home owners. This in- cluded installing service lines main to curb and assisting contractors with service and main work. Expenses incurred are billed to the customer for reimbursement. One hundred and forty six new customers were added in 1986. Milford now has a total of 1,855 customers, 1,376 Residential and 479 Commercial. Several sanitary sewer main extensions were completed in 1986. These will serve Woodside Commons, Westchester Park and the Aldrich complex, condominiums and apartment complexes. In the Sunview II Pro- ject 9,000 1ft of main pipe was added that will accommodate 109 new single family homes. A 600 1ft extension was also added on Ponemah Hill Road. 65 EXPENSES Labor $ 562.14 Materials 629.55 Equipment Rentals 2,537.60 Engineering 691.44 Total $ 4,420.73 Appropriation 5,000.00 Balance $ 579.27 SEWER MAINTENANCE Sanitary mains on South Street and all streets in East Milford were inspected. Flushing and rodding was done as required. The 6" service connection to the MarGeLen building at 7 Amherst Street was found broken at the chimney connection to the 36" Interceptor located on the river banking. The excavation was about twenty feet in depth. A large hydraulic backhoe was rented for this repair that had to be done in January. Manhole castings were raised for paving on Oak, Beech, King, Dean, Orange, Franklin, High and Powers Street. The sanitary collection system continues to operate well. A few service lines where problems frequently occur were excavated and repaired. The town's closed drainage system, totaling about ten miles, func- tioned well with all of the precipitation we received throughout the year. A few new catchbasins were added at problem areas. In 1987 this appropriation will no longer appear as a line item. It will be replaced with two new line items: Storm Drainage and Sewage Collection.

During the year several of the local industries and commercial establishments contracted directly with refuse haulers to pickup and leliver their trash directly to a landfill site rather than hauling it ;o the Transfer Station. Waste from these sources is historically keavy. This loss has seriously impeded our capabilities of meeting tht lontract condition that loads meet an 18 ton minimum weight in order t< )btain a disposal tipping fee of $39.40 per ton. ^ Over the twelve month period from December 1, 1985 to November 30, .986, 9,156 ton of refuse was handled at the facility. Of this amouni 1,718 ton (51.5%) was commercial and 4,437 ton (48.5%) was residential, fith weight penalty charges added, our true tipping fee cost was $43.0? )er ton. It has become increasingly more difficult to find sources that wi' :ake the light metal which is an unacceptable material at the Turnkey jandfill in Rochester, N.H. Only two years ago haulers were picking :he material at no cost to the town. This past year it cost $3,100 to lave the accumulation removed. Estimated revenues projected $171,125 for 1986. Actual income received was $223,690, $52,565 more than estimated however, the dispos; :ontractors November invoice amounting to $29,554 (750 ton) was not received until mid-January of 1987. Payment was charged to the 1987 budget 67 June of 1987 completes two years of a five year contract with Lakes Region Disposal Co., Inc. of Laconia, N.H. They furnish trailers and truck refuse to a state and federally approved landfill site. The contract provides for the Contractor and Town to re-negotiate the tip- ping fee for each of subsequent years of the contract after the second year. We have been advised that due to stricter mandates by the State and EPA regarding landfill sites, disposal costs will increase for Milford to between $55 and $60 per ton. This has been projected in the 1987 budget for the second half of the calendar year.

Drainage - Pipe and other materials were purchased for projects on Ponemah Hill Road, Webster Street, Chappell Drive and Tarry Lane. The town's 550 catchbasins were cleaned using a rented catchbasin cleaning machine. Guard Railing - New sections were added on Elm Street, Whit ten Road, Chappell Drive and Armory Road. Resurfacing - Hot mix was purchased and applied at a thickness of 5/8". This year's program included King, Orange, Dean, sections of Franklin, High, Union and Beech Street totaling 1.53 miles. In the near future the D.P.W. will recommend expanding this program and reducing the Oiling Program. 68 jine Painting - Twelve miles of double center line pavement marking was ompleted by the State Highway Department. jeveling Roads - Prior to scheduled Oiling sections of Ponemah Hill, lason, Federal Hill and Emerson Road were smoothed with hot top. The lollowing intown streets were also done - Birch Lane and sections of !ayf lower Drive. Tree Work - Low hanging limbs were cut along several of the rural roads. This work was accomplished with rented equipment from the Bartlett Tree Experts. Signs - The majority of the sign budget was spent for replacements. A few new street and caution signs were added. Vandalism occurs on a continual basis to signs, this represents a significant cost to taxpayers. In 1987 this account has been included in the Highways, Streets and Bridges Appropriation.

Repairs to the Town Hall building included: providing hot water accommodation to the Police locker room and Ambulance Bay. Minor renova- tions were done in the Selectmen's Administrative Assistant's office. The Town Clerk's office was painted and expanded to include space former- ly occupied by the Selectmen's office staff. Their offices have been relocated in the former old meeting room area. This move allows the public better access to the building and provides the needed work space the Town Clerk's office required. 69 An amendment at Town Meeting increased this appropriation by $18,000. to hire an architect to review existing data and make recommen- dations for renovating the building. David Cheever, an Architect from Nashua, was hired to do the study. His report, completed in late December, proposes utilizing the entire building. The Selectmen authorized an over-expenditure of this account to install fire stops in the former Fire Department hose tower at each floor level using fire retardant 5/8" sheet rock. This project was recommended by Architect Cheever to eliminate a serious fire hazard. Town Garage - Several deteriorated panels in the overhead doors, door springs and hardware were replaced.

Chestnut Street - 330 1ft of 4" replaced with new 8" pipe. Souhegan Street - 1,025 1ft of 4" replaced with 8" pipe. 370 1ft of 4" replaced with new 12" pipe. Border Street - 460' of 4" replaced with new 8" pipe. Prospect Street - 1,470' of 4" replaced with new 10" pipe. 700' of this total was paid for and installed by the Constellation Corporation of Amherst, N. H., the developer who built the Woodside Commons Condomi- nium project. Water mains have now been looped from Prospect to Powers Street. Hilltop Drive - 325' of 2" replaced with new 6" pipe. Mont Vernon Street - 782' of new 12" pipe added, connecting two existing 10" mains. Keyes Field - 850' of 8" pipe added, providing a second supply main line to Elm Street from the Mayflower tank. Elm Street - 200' of new 8" was added connecting to the 8" main that supplies Souhegan Estates, Granite Plaza and the existing 8" main on Elm Street. 12" pipe was purchased for main replacement between the Souhe- gan Branch Bank and Merrill's Convenience Store. This project is sche- duled for the Spring of 1987. Stone Bridge - A leak in an old cast iron 10" main required excavation of the concrete deck, this prompted the replacement of this old line with 200' of new 12" pipe. This unexpected expense was not planned for in this appropriation. West Street - Savage Road - 12" pipe has been purchased for main repla- cement scheduled for 1987. The D.P.W. acted as its own general contractor on these com- pleted projects. Design work and resident inspection was handled by the engineering firm of Dufresne-Henry. Purchasing of pipe and other mate- rials was handled by the Town, after bids were received. The R. H. White Construction Company's Merrimack, N H. division installed the pipe and appurtenances. The Public Works prepared trenchs for paving and attended to cleanup. Actual paving was done by two paving firms. Streets dug up for this project are scheduled for curb to curb pavement overlay in 1987. Work scheduled for 1987 includes replacing 640' of 6" on West Street between Elm and Crosby Street with 12" pipe. Replacing 2,545' of 8" and 6" on Elm Street with 12" pipe. 500* of new 12" pipe will be added on Savage Road, this will allow the Dram Cup Hill 500,000 gallon 72 . storage tank to fill faster and provide increased fire protection to the area. Work completed to date and the planned projects for 1987 have substantially improved the operation and potential of the distribution system. Adequate fire flows are now available, in some cases exceeding insurance requirements in the areas where work has been done. Payment of this project has been bonded over 10 years, cost to be shared by increasing water rates and the town hydrant rentals.

Replaced with four (4) multi-plate pipe archs. Mile Slip Road - Five stone culverts collapsed or plugged; 400 1ft of road washed out, replaced with two (2) archs and three (3) culvert pipes, re-graveled section of road. Savage Road - One large stone box culvert washed out along with 50 1ft of road. Replaced with two (2) multi-place pipe archs. Armory Road - Stone culvert collapsed, road washed out. Replaced with culvert pipe. Union Square - Between Middle and Bridge Street an old 18" brick storm drain collapsed, causing flooding of Joseph's Furniture Store. Replaced with 312 1ft of 12" pipe, two existing deteriorated catchbasins were replaced. Whitten Road Bridge - West granite wing wall on the outlet side was undermined by the force of the high water, this weakened the structure substantially. Repairs included pouring a new section of concrete under the existing granite wall, masonry pointing and rebuilding the concrete curbs 73 other Repairs - Several hundred feet of ditchs washed out on Burns, McGettigan, Savage, Mason, Melendy and Ruonala Road. These were from three to six foot deep and six to eight feet in width. The washouts were filled, pavement replaced and in several areas ditchs were then lined with stone rip rap. This should prevent future errosion. After the storm, steps were taken immediately on the part of the Select- men to authorize funds for the D.P.W. to take emergency action to repair the damage. The State Office of Civil Defense was notified. They in turn notified the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Milford was approved to receive disaster relief funds on the basis of 75% Federal and 12.5% State for eligible projects. In October the first payment totaling $55,470 was received. Repair work was not completed until late December. The project closeout will be finalized in early eighty-seven, at which time application will be filed for the final payment of Federal and State Disaster Relief Funds. Items charged to this account are for materials, contracted equipment and services. D.P.W. labor used was charged to the Highway Summer Maintenance Appropriation which reflects the over-expenditure in that account.

This project should be advertised for bids in 1989. Construction is expected to be completed in 1990. The new bridge will be located downstream from the present Jones Bridge, at a location where the Milford By-Pass rejoins Route 101. This cost is estimated to be $900,000. Appropriation (Milford Share) $66,000.00 Earmarked for 1987 DAM REPAIRS STUDY APPROPRIATION The Town of Milford contracted with Dufresne-Henry on April 21, 1986 for the purpose of having the McLane Dam - Souhegan River, Osgood Pond and Railroad Pond Dams inspected and preliminary costs estimates prepared for recommended repairs. The scope of these inspections addressed the issues raised by the New Hampshire Water Resources Board concerning the condition of each of these dams. The dam at Osgood Pond was inspected and a complete topographic map was prepared of the town owned property at this dam. A request was filed with the N.H. Water Resources Board to have the Osgood Pond Dam reclassified as an "AA" structure. A report of recommended repairs and a preliminary cost estimate was received. Railroad Pond Dam was inspected with a team of divers checking for signs of possible settlement and locating the source of a leak. In addition to providing for structural repairs to satisfy the Water Resources Board, improvements were also considered to reduce pond elevations during periods of high flows. The recommended repairs are to be considered for construction in the summer of 1987. Due to an unusually wet summer in 1986, the engineers could not readily inspect the McLane Dam on the Souhegan River. Flow over the dam obscures the dam face so that the condition of the stonework and concrete cannot be observed. This inspection and report has been postponed to 1987 with some hope of a drier summer. Late in 1986 the Water Resources Board became insistent that atten- tion be given to Hartshorn Pond Dam, Dufresne-Henry assisted by members of the Conservation Commission evaluated the nature of the repair work required and also prepared a preliminary cost estimate. It is antici- pated that, with approval of the recommended budget for this dam, the repairs will be completed in 1987.

Courage, Director WATER DEPARTMENT Distribution 174 services were added in 1986. In the last two years 528 new services have been added to the water system. Water mains were extended at developers' expense to serve the Sunview II project, Westchester Heights, Woodside Commons, both Condominium Com- plexes, apartments on James Street and Ponemah Hill Road. These pro- jects totaled 14,053 1ft of 8" and 12" pipe. With the Water Main Replacement bond issue funds approved at Town Mee- ting, water main improvements were completed on Elm St., Chestnut St., Souhegan St., Border St., Mont Vernon St., Prospect St., Hilltop Drive and Keyes Field. The purpose of these projects was to replace old 4" 79 and 2" pipe with new 8", 10" and 12" pipe that will supply the increased capacity to provide adequate water for fire protection and improve the operation of the distrbution system. Work completed to date totals 4,800. An additional 4,000* of pipe is scheduled to be installed on Elm St., West St. and Savage Road in 1987. The following is an inventory of the various sizes of main pipe in the system as of December 31, 1986. 4" 19,030* 6" 103,845' 8" 60,912' 10" 30,730' 12" 15,227' Total 229,744 = 43.51 miles The Mayflower 500,000 gallon storage tank was drained, the interior and exterior were sandblasted clean and painted. Marcel A. Payeur, Inc. from Sanford, Maine was the contractor. 33 new hydrants were added and 7 old hydrants were replaced. Water Supply The town's present water supply consists of two gravel packed wells in the Curtis Well field that can together supply 1,100 GPM. Their maximum safe yield is 1,056,000 GPD. The Kokko Well supplies 200 GPM, iron bacteria has reduced reliability of this well to a safe pumping yield of about 150,000 GPD. The average gallons pumped per day in 1986 totaled 764,000. We recorded eight days during July that we pumped over 1,000,000. Several other days were well over 900,000 during the summer. As mentioned in the previous report, Milford does not have a back-up supply of water if our Curtis Well #1 rated at 700 GPM is taken out of service even for a short period of time. If this were to occur we could not sustain the pumping demand with the second Curtis and Kokko Well, together rated at 600 GPM. If these two wells were to pump 24 hours they could only supply a total of 864,000 GPD. We need a backup supply to replace the Keyes Well that was shut down due to volatile organic contamination in 1984. The Pennichuck Water Works Company's proposal to finance the capital costs to extend a 16" supply main through Amherst to Milford is recom- mended by your Public Work's Director. This would provide Milford with an additional water supply that would be available on an as needed basis. Administration On December 31, 1986 the department had 2,525 water accounts billed on a quarterly basis. It is hoped once the Town's Computer System is fully on line the present manual bookkeeping system can be discontinued. This will reduce the office work. 80 EXPENSES Labor $ 75,144,80 Materials-Pipe & Fittings 18,253.92 Engineering & Drafting 11,637.51 Water Sampling Expense 2,210.35 Equipment Rentals 3,093.12 New Meters 12,839.50 Meter Parts 507.50 New Hydrants 2,170.73 Hydrant Parts 2,048.16 New Equipment 3,252.02 Road Repair Material 9,586.66 Public Works Administration 31,303.00 Pumping Stat. -Repairs to Bldg 1,080.78 Pumping Stat. -Repairs to Equip 2,396.49 Pumping Stat. -Supplies & Exp 782.11 Corrosion Control 20,177.10 Telephone & Telemetering 4,263.03 Electricity 31,782.40 Office Supplies & Expense 4,463.96 Interest on Notes 12,956.50 Principle on Notes 20,650.00 Truck Repairs 566.94 Other Equipment Repairs 1,092.56 Radios and Repairs 111.40 Tools & Equip.

Several projects were granted approval at the 1986 Town Meeting including the Compost Facility, Belt Filter Press and the Industrial Pretreatment Program. Our major focus of activity has been the improvements to our solids handling facilities. Immediately following Town meeting, we learned of difficulties in obtaining the Federal and State share of funding for the compost project. Consequently, the project was scaled back to match available funds. The installation of the belt press made the downsizing possible. With funding in its final form, total project costs are approximately $910,000. Milford's share has been reduced from 5% to approximately 3%. Bid advertisement for the contract was in May, and the contract was awarded in September. Hutter Construction Company of New Ipswich was the successful low bidder, and began construction immediately. Construction has progressed swiftly and without controv- ersy. We expect to be operational in February, 1987. The final product should be available for public use by summer of 1987. Design of the belt filter press began immediately following Town Meeting approval. Installations were viewed at other facilities in order for us to compare various machines and layouts. Duf resne-Henry Engineering Company assisted in the design of the project and the R.H. White Company is the general contractor for the project. Much of the demolition work, removal of one vacuum filter, three sludge feed pumps, and related equipment was performed by our treatment facility personnel, in an effort to reduce costs as much as possible. The new press was delivered on November 3, 1986; and is also expected to be operational in February, 1987. The belt press will substantially reduce the moisture content of the sludge cake, resulting in a more successful compost operation. The development of the Industrial Pretreatment Program continues following Town Meeting approval. Industries have been surveyed and categorized. Currently underway are revisions to the Sewer Use Ord- inance, and the incorporati*^ xi of an industrial pretreatment section. Work at the Main Pump Station has essentially been completed this year. The new main pump drive units are operaational. All these pumps havea been rebuilt, meachanical seals installed in two of the units. The interior of the station and appurtenant equipment have been painted this year. The gasoline leakage into the storm and sanitary sewer systems in August required the assistance of WWTP personnel. We supplied gas monitoring and sampling equipment to aid in the determination of the source of the leak. I feel that this incident shows the value of cooperation between Town Departments evident during this incident. 85 The perennial problem of the two leaking sodium hypochlorite tanks moves closer to solution. Due to the emergency nature of this situation and scheduling requirements of the work, it is our intention to replace the tanks in the upcoming months. The Dufresne-Henry Company, with in- put from the facility staff, have completed a design plan for the re- placement tanks. Another chapter of the sewer project came to a close with the set- tlement and release of the Anderson-Nichols Company this past summer. Anderson-Nichols relinquished a portion of their retainage in consider- ation of errors and omissions in their work during construction of the WWTP. Our facility has entered its sixth (6th) year of operation. We currently process 1.1 million gallons per day, representing about 50% of our capacity. Sludge production in 1986 yielded 2400 cubic yards. Operation of the belt press will reduce this amount by about 50%. Treatment efficiency was generally high with discharge limits met on a consistent basisi. Facility employees have worked diligently to develop and refine process control procedures to produce a quality effluent , that meets the NPDES requirements. An open house of the facility is being planned for 1987. Hopefully we will be able to give the general public an opportunity to view the many changes and improvements that have been made during our first five (5) years of operation. As with many other Town departments, it becomes apparent that con- tinued growth in Town necessitates increased services and additional employees. Our 1987 budget requests an additional employee based on increased solids handling, increasing amounts of septage handling, im- plementation of industrial pretreatment program, increased manhour re- quirements due to New Hampshire Department of Labor safety regulations, and increased maintenance requirements caused by the aging of the facil- ity. The 1987 budget provides for closure of the sludge landfill. This is a requirement of the Sate of New Hampshire, and is necessary with the landfill at capacity. A repeat request is being made for a small com- puter and related software for the WWTP. Many plants in the State take advantage of the benefits a system yields. I commend the Wastewater Facility Staff for their extraordinary efforts in improved plant operation and maintenance. Their cooperation and extra work efforts during the design and construction phase of our projects during 1986 made target dates a reality. Respectfully Submitted Steven C.

We provide emergency medical care and transport. Patients are transported to the Milford Medical Center, or to medical facilities in Nashua. Manchester or Peterborough. We will transport to medical facilities outside the area upon ph/SLcian request. Non- emergency transports are provided v/ith a twenty four (24) advance notice to the Directors; and are dependant upon a . ailabilit.y ^f both crew and ambulance. In ordor to defray operating expenses of the ambulance servic*?. the Town of Milford char'oes a fee of $50.00 per call, and $1.00 per loaded mile outside the Nashua area. During 1986, our service provided just rjnder 23.000 in income to the General Fund. Of our thirty-six (36) volunteer members, we have two (2) Advanced First Aidet s, twenty five (25) f^mergeny Medical Technicians (100 hour coui^se). and nine (9) EMT Int-'rmediated vjith advanced skills of E.O.A. and I.V. All of our members i^etrain in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CFR) annually. The service meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of every month m our quarters located in the lower level of the T'.>wn Hall on Middle Street. Each member meets the challenge of improving knowledge and skills through continual tranring and practical review. Each member is required to cover a scheduled duty time which includes weekends. Nev? members are supported and assisted as the.y gain knowledge and exporienc^e. Presently thie 8er\ ice is able to provide tv;o '2) crews during nights and vj'eekends. They daytime hours '.6 A.M. through 6 P.M.) are becoming increasingly difficult to cover. This year we have been fortunate to have several local employers supporting the service by allowing employees who are volunteers to respond to calls during bu;::iness hours. Through this effort we have been able to continue uninterrupted service during the daylight hours. We are, however, carefull.y exploring several alternatives in an attempt to streamline the emergency medieval service a.'ailable to Milford's residents. In addition to scheduled duty time, our /olunteers stand by at lt)cal sporting events and town events as requested. They volunteer time for Lectures and training in first aid, driver training and CPR instructions for communit,y and sctiool gi^oups. We thank the citizens of Milford for their continued support. We also thank our families for their emotional support and understanding of our commitment to provide quality emei-gency care to our community. "We are here for Life!" Kathy Oilman, Director -Chairman Bob Thompson, Director George Clarke. Director 88 BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT In 1986, the Board of Adjustment handled forty-Nine (49) cases (37-variances; 1 1 -special exceptions; 1 -rehearing). Disposition of the cases is as follows: thirty-five (35) were granted; ten (10) were denied; two (2) were tabled; and two (2) had no action taken. The count is based on single hearing for one applicant regardless of the number of requests. Planning sessions were held with the Planning Board and the Board of Selectmen. One single objective seems quite clear as a result of these meetings. That is the fact that there is an evident need for more thoughtfully designed zoning regulations. The Boards found themselves at odds during the year as a result of the varying opinions with respect to the interpretation of certain sections of the Zoning Manual. By working with the Master Plan, and through proposed zoning changes, it would appear that the majority of the problems encountered could and would be resolved. JOHN E. RUONALA, CHAIRMAN 89 BUILDING INSPECTION I In 1986 Re once again experienced continued groi'.th in the Town, particularly in the areas of residential and commercial propei^ties. i The number of units for single family d.'tellings decreased 1".4%, Hith a reduction of 13.6% in value; Two family dHellings also decreased 50% in number of units with a 48.8% reduction m value. On the other hand, both residential and commercial alterations and additions increased in units and value. Residential alterations and additions reflect a 54% increase in number of units, accompanied with a 53. 1% rise in dollar value. Commercial alterations and additions show the greatest growth with an increase of 90% in number of units and a healthy 25.3% increase in dollar value. Thus, the building activity in the Town of Mil ford reflects an overall increase in dollar value of 15. 1% BUILDING INSPECTIONS 1986 167 Single Family Dwellings 8, 525. 6 40 14 Two Family Dwellings 1,113, 000 205 Residential Alterations and Additions 1, 056, 975 3 Conversions - Residential 15, 500 19 Residential Garages 1 53, 600 38 Commercial Alterations and Additions 3r>1 , 1 50 4 Chimneys 3, 450 6 Swimming Pools 42, 500 Hampshire Hills Lap Pool 2 9 4,000 Scarborough Company Warehouse and Office 755, 000 Nash, Forest and Krook - Industrial Building 330, 000 Hampshire Paper Corporation - Warehouse 100, 000 Coldstream Associates - Commercial Building 90, 000 Hendrix Wire & Cable - 3 Industrial Buildings 665, 000 H.

The Center is now operating under an Intermunicipal Agreement among the four member towns of Milford, Amherst, Mont Vernon, and Wilton. The Di- rector is appointed by a four member Board of Governors, who are appointed in turn by the four towns one member per town. The Center's operating budget is reviewed by a Budget Committee composed of one Selectman from each of the member towns. Funding is provided by the member towns on a per capita basis. Each town's share is the total budget times that town's percentage of the total population of the covered area towns. Additionally, the Town of Milford receives a credit in lieu of rent, capital equipment usage, etc. This amount is deternmined by multiplying the total area population by $.30 cents per capita. Our new Dictaphone twenty-four (24) hour logging recorder was delivered in April, and has proven invaluable from the start in allowing instant playback of all radio and telephone traffic. Exact times are automatically placed on the tapes at the time of recording, making it possible to document the proper sequence of events during an incident, i.e. how long it really took for an ambulance, cruiser, fire department to get to the scene once a caller has reported an incident. The Center is now a non-voting member of the New Hampshire Municipal Association, making it possible to obtain broad insurance and health coverage at reduced cost. We now carry professional liability insurance coverage through a commercial carrier. This insurance was a problem in the past, but is now obtainable given our new status. The communications' console was struck by lightning during the summer, rendering it inoperative. A partial repair has been made, with the board operating at about 60% effectiveness. Due to difficulty in obtaining factory support, the Governing Board determined that it was not economically feasible to continue putting money into partial repairs which result in questionable console reliability. Therefore, new equipment has been ordered, and should be in place by mid-March, 1987. The cost of this purchase has been spread over a five (5) year period, lessening any financial impact on the Towns in any one year. At the end of this time, the equipment will be owned outright; and the Towns' yearly assessment for the Center's operation will drop dramatically. A new AT&T MERLIN telephone system will also be installed by March 1987, providing far superior telephone capability at lower overall cost. As in the case of the radio equipment, the telephone system will be owned outright after four (4) years, with a corresponding drop in budget needs. All regular dispatchers will receive accredited in-service training during 1987, providing for a more professional operation. 91 . I The Center is looking into the possibility of obtaining a computer system for more efficient handling of logging calls. (Although no 1987 budget monies are earmarked for this, we intend the use of the $2,000 budgeted in 1986 for a new tone encoder, which will not be needed now that the new radio consoles will provide toning capability) I We have engaged the auditing firm of Briggs & McDonnell to examine our books on an annual basis and to suggest possible changes in accounting procedures to upgrade our operation. This service will provide added protection for the interests of the member Towns. In 1986, there were 223,182 logged items, of which 113,376 were radio transmissions, and 109,806 were either telephone calls or lobby assists for Milford Police. We are now scheduling two dispatchers per shift for sixteen (16) hours daily during the most active times. The new radio consoles will be a double installation making it possible for both dispatchers to handle radio and telephone communications without interf erring with each other. This will also cut the waiting time on all incoming calls. I would like to thank all the department heads. Selectmen, Chiefs, dispatachers, and others who have graciously assisted me during the transition of Directors upon the resignation of Ms. Anne Dalrymple. Anne was responsible for putting most of the Center's programs into motion during much of 1986; and her advice has been invaluable in indoctrinating me in the Director's post. I shall continue to strive for increased efficiency and reliability in the Center's operations, while maintaing the best possible cost effectiveness for the member Towns. The entire concept of a regional dispatch system is based upon mutual cooperation; and I would welcome any suggestions from the communi ty with regards to the improving of our service. ARTHUR R. ECGAR DIRECTOR 92 CONSERVATION COMMISSION Last Spring, Milford suggested the formation of the Souhegan Valley Association of Conservation Commissions. Commissions from Milford, Mollis, Mont Vernon, Amherst and Brookline began to hold joint meetings on a bi-monthly basis. Many ideas and information has been shared as a result of the joint meetings. Several commissions, including Milford are currently working with the State Fish & Game Department in an attempt to develop acquisition and management plans for local conservation lands. As in the past years, our activity surrounding Dredge and Fill applications has continued to expand. Each application requires extensive review and on site inspections by the Commission. The time devoted to this one issue in 1986 represented the bulk of the Commission's activities. He reviewed applications for some thirty (30) operations. In addition, several gravel removal projects were also reviewed. We also worked with some other town bodies with regards to three (3) filling operations and one gravel removal project in violation of state and local laws. In 1985, the Commission purchased property boundary overlays drawn to scale in conjunction with the town soils maps. During 1986, we completed a map of Town owned lands, color coding those properties by use. The combined Milford Conservation land stands, at this time, at approximately 425 acres. Almost one-half of this land is the Hitchiner Land on Mullen Road received as a donation, and voted as conservation land at the 1986 Town Meeting. With regards to this land, a project to develop a hiking trail is being managed by an Eagle Scout candidate, with the Commission acting as overseer and advisor. We also are involved with the removal of debris from the property and the elimination of several safety hazards. Work on this project is scheduled for completion this spring. The Commission has attempted to manage repairs on the dams impounding both Osgood and Hartshorn ponds. Both dams were inspected by the State and found to be in need of repair. At a December Selectmen's meeting, it was voted to include these two dams with the others in Milford scheduled for repairs. Funds voted at both the 1985 and 1986 Town Meetings, in addition to other donated funds have allowed us to establish a land acquisition fund. The Conservation Commission has proposed two warrants for this year's Town Meeting. The first seeks to reclassify approximately 400 acres of land from "Conservation Land" to "Town Forest". Although the use and purpose of these lands will not change, the reclassification will allow the managing agency to acquire appropriate forest management plans, and be able to perform maintenance activities as required. Currently, Conservation Land does not allow for forest management practices. 93 The second warrant asks that the Conservation Commission be named as the managing agency for the above. Again, there is no change from the present other than State law requires that a managing body be named 1 for town forests. As such, this warrant article is simply a formality required by passage of the first warrant article. Assuming passage of the two warrants, the Commission will engage a State Forester to review Milford's "Town Forest" in order, to prepare a long range forest management plan. Other activities for 1986 included the sponsorship of two Milford Youths to Conservation Camp; work was begun on the development of a V Milford Conservation Master Plan; a projects plan for 1987 has been developed; and plans continue for the completion of the originally planned Milford Green Belt.

Our par^t time secretary has proven to be a valuable addition to this department as she handles the increased requests for information and the iner^eased teleptione activity taking place in the fit^e station. This yeai^ wc became actively invol-.c-d in the recording of all incidents with the State Fire Marshall' s Office in Concord -rthero they are input to a computer system Kith results i"( pointed to us on a quai^tei^iy basis. The first reports i^^.ceived have provided some interesting statistics with reference to the increased activitv in the Depat tment. At the 1^^86 Town Meeting ae saw the passage of a [lari^ant At^ticle for the purchase of a new pumpers' tanker. After many meetings with fire truck manuf actur^ers. The Pierce Company of Wisconsin was awaixled the conti^act. This pumper, tanker will have a 1250 gpm midship pump and a 1500 gallon tank. It isill be delivered in .August. 1987. In December. 1996, the aeiial ladder and the ground ladders on the Lader Truck, r'efurbished in 1984 ;-tere tested. The test results showed that the aerial needed sevei^al thousands of dollars of work. Three { 3) of the wooden ground ladders were found to be unsafe. The- cracked during testing. These ladders are now being replaced «ith aluminum ones. Ke also acquired a retired police cruiser. The vehicle has been painted red and used for inspections and other fii^e depiirtment business. Our Fire Prevention program of site and building plan re iew. wood stove, oil burner and building inpection. along with educational programs continues at a t^apid pace. Although the number^ of fires is down, false alarms (especially at apar^tment complexes.' are on the rise. Dulling 1986, Chief Stephen Sears retired with 35 years of dedicated ser'vice to the Department. Captain li'illiam Dyer retired with 2" years of service, and former^ Chief Dominic A. Calvetti passed away on November 30, 19B6. The 1987 Town Meeting will see a prH:>posal for a Fulltime Fire Chief. This position is needed in order to keep pace with the day-to- day requests for inspections, information, investigations, and the general business administration of the Department. The Chief, Deputy Chiefs, and the Fire Prevention Officer are finding that the daily demands on time taken away from their places of employment are becoming 96 1 lore than a call department is expected to provide. The establishment i)f a Fulltime Chief does not necessarily mean that Milford is in the throes of starting a fulltime department; rather this is an effort to 'continue the active Fire Prevention program Kith the handling of the Jaily administration details in order to eliminate the need for men jiaving to leave their business establishments. Thus we would forestall ;he need for a fulltime paid department. He urge your support in this irea. Re the Board of FireKards thank the men of the Department and the ,ocal employers who alloK these men to leave on call during business lOurs. You, the townspeople, can be proud of the professional nay in |rhich these men protect you and your property. The continued support fhich He receive from the local businesses, District Forest Ranger, itate Fire Marshall, Police, Ambulance, Communication Center, and our 'oKn is most gratifying. In closing, we point out that education through the use of smoke letectors, fire extinguishers, Exit Drills in the Home, and general j)reventative maintenance goes a long way in helping to protect you, your oved ones, and your property.

It is to maintain a professional, efficient and courteous department. In recent years, we have witnessed a dramatic increase in our fair Town's growth. Unfortunately the growth has also resulted in an increase in crime, especically crime involving violence. Obviously this puts quite a stain on your local police department. Presently, be- sides myself, there is Lieutenant William Eggers, Detective Sergant Paul Conti, and eleven (11) officers to cover three shifts, seven days per week. We divide the town in half with one officer in a cruiser to cover each sector. This theory and practice works, unless, of course, there are no emergencies to cover. When out of the ordinary incidents occur that result in an arrest and incarceration, we are required by law and various insurances to monitor the cell block in the station. Due to in- surance coverages, we no longer are able to rely upon the Milford Area Communication Center for this particular duty. This means that we have to contact an off duty officer to come in to cover this area. This is not always possible. When unable to get an extra officer, the arresting officer must remain in the station; thus, Milford is left with only ONE officer to cover the entire Town. Our officers are also required to pick up the slack, that exists during sick time, training time, and days off. Most often, this requires that your Police Officers pull double shifts in order to adequately protect our town, thereby reducing the necessary safety factor in our department. We, the Milford Police, realize that each call for assistance, whether regarding a missing pet, armed robbery, domestic disturbance, automobile accident, fire, home injury, or whatever is regarded by the caller as the most important occurrance at the time. Placing priority requires a most delicate decision making process. We are often aware that we offend those we are sworn to protect; and for that we deeply ap- ologize. To properly protect this rapidly growing community, I, as Chief of Police feel that we have need to increase our staff by four (4) officers. This would supply Milford with the manpower to utilize three (3) patrol officers on two shifts, and two (2) patrol officers on the third shift. Using this theory, if one officer is occupied with an ar- rest, answering a complaint, or out of town on a stray dog transport, we would still have two (2) officers on patrol. During 1986, three of our valued officers experienced injuries while performing their duties that put them on the disabled list for ex- tended periods of time. One of these officers, Sgt Douglas Dowd is cur- rently undergoing serious reconstruction of both his knees. Dowd will be disabled for at least one year. Our K9 unit has proven invaluable. Officer Jim Crane has now be- come inseparable from Fox, our German Shepard. When these two are on patrol, the Town can feel just that much safer. Milford's Crime Prevention Unit has had quite a busy year. The unit has conducted several crime prevention programs within the commun- 98 ity, including neighborhood watch, bicycle safety programs, a bicycle rodeo and the ever popular "Officer Bill" Program. During the fall, with the assistance of the VFW, we again fingerprinted children of the town. In 1986, Granite T Kennel closed their doors, leaving the nearest kennel willing to care for our stray dogs in Nashua. Disasters struck on a regular basis this past year. We were called to assist in the Ice Jam, the Stone Bridge cavein, Nashua Street's gas leak, and the severe summer floods. In addition, investigation into a fatal accident, a hom- icide, 57 assualts, 9 sexual assaults, 59 burglaries, 348 criminal mischief reports, 247 thefts, 507 accidents and 468 arrests kept our de- partment fairly busy . On behalf of the department, I would like to thank the Board of Selectmen, the Budget Committee, the Milford VFW, and especially the citizens of the Town of Milford for your support this past year. We look forward to improved service in 1987. Respectfully, Steven C. Sexton Chief of Police 99 CIVIL DEFENSE Your Civil Defense Agency has been quite active this past year. Since Hurricane Gloria m September 1985, our shelter program has been updated. During Hurricane Gloria, we sheltered 108 persons in the gym at Milford Area High School, and in/olved 22 volunteers. Many thanks goes to these volunteers as well as the Red Cross for their assistance in this time of need. In January 1986, Milford experienced an ice jam on the Souhcgan Piver causing major flooding to the mobile home park on Elm Street. An emergency shelter at the Fire Station was made available to some fifty families at 3AM in the morning. Again local volunteers took over the duties of the shelter receiving food from the Red Cross, while local merchants provided much needed supplies. It has been estimated that the damage caused by this flood is in the neighborhood of ,$100,000. We ha\'e been working with the Army Corps of Engineers to dredge the river behind Fletcher's Paint Store up to the Green Iron Bridge. This past summer saw more major flooding from an intense rain storm, with the damage concentrated m the western portion of Town. In an attempt to defray thie cost of storm damage repairs, we looked to both State and Federal Government Agencies. Milford had to stand only 12% of the total cost due to monies received from State and Federal Agencies. The "trade off" however, is for Milford to adopt a mitigation plan. In other words, "what is Milford going to do to help prevent future disasters?" Our Civil Defense's warning system is operational, but we need to recondition the eighteen bell siren system on the top of the Town Hall. By fall of '87 this siren should be operational, with monthly tests of all sirens still to be scheduled for the first Saturday of each month at 11AM. We have relocated the siren at Woodman Florist to the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Crisis Relocation plan has been dis- continued as it was decided that mass evacuation would be inappropriate in the event of a man-made disaster. To close this report, I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen, Town Administrative Staff, Department Heads, and most of all, the citizens of Milford for their continued support of the Civil Defense Agency, FRED R. LUONGO, Director 100 Wadleigh Memorial Library Annual Report - 1986 It was an exciting, tumultuous and wonderful year for library •service in Milford. The long needed expansion and renovation of the Library was finally completed after a full year of construction. By jarly June, the new addition had been completed and the bookstacks were Installed. The library, then closed to the public for three weeks *hile volunteers and staff moved 35,000 volumes to their new homes. The Library reopened in the new addition while the old building received some major renovations. This work was completed just in time for the iedication ceremony on September 6. Along with the construction tripling the effective size of the I uilding and providing extra parking spaces, there were a number of )ther notable achievements. After reopening, book circulation ran at L7% above the previous year's level. New patrons registered and borrowers numbered 1110, 23% above the figure in 1985. Community groups and organizations began to take advantage of our refurbished Keyes Meeting Room which is fully handicapped accessible. Children and adult programs, stopped due to construction, resumed at full tilt. The drive- up book return box has rapidly become a popular new feature. A physical inventory of the library's collections was carried out [following the move, giving us an accurate account of the library's holdings. A new computer system allows us access to the New Hampshire Automated Information System and the Dialog Network, providing the database search capability in Milford. This vastly iumproves the interlibrary loan process. A micro-computer with a laser disk drive fallows us to use the Bibliophile System to convert our cataloging information to machine readable form, and generate catalog card sets from the Library of Congress data here in the library. Extensive backfiles of several magazines were purchased on microfiche, making them easily available while eliminating the need for magazine storage space. We are the grateful recipient of a number of grants and gifts, most in conjunction with the building program. The Kaley and Keyes Funds made generous contributions. The Cogswell Benevolent Trust provided $10,000 to help rebuild the Childrens' Book Collection; Digital Equipment Corporation provided matching funds for the computer system; and the Hillsborough Bank and Trust Company donated a public access personal computer. The Milford Cooperative Bank continued its support of library programs and services. Local author and scholar, Andrew Rothovius donated his outstanding personal library of nearly 2000 volumes to the Wadleigh Library where it will be housed in a special collection bearing his name. Our staff grew and changed this past year. Karin Hargy left us and moved to Connecticut with her familyu. Ryley Osborne retired as custodian after many years of service; Alan Belcher and Betty Simoneau have replaced Ryley as custodians. New staff members include Paula Walker at Circulation, and Ellie Weiss as Assistant in the Childrens' Room, Pages included Jason Sapsin, Jessica Dionne, Whitney Lamarre, Lauren Butler, Christina Lombardi, Nils Nieuwejaar, and Catriona McCaleb. AnneCarle has been helping us in a temporary capacity. As usual we have 101 blessed with dedicated volunteers. I would like to thank the Library Staff, the Board of Trustees, and most of all, the citizens of Milford for making this a banner year for the Vadleigh Memorial Library.

The addition was completed and opened in August, 1986. At the dedication ceremonies held on September 6, 1986, we were honored with the attendance of Governor John Sununu as well as, representatives of the State Library, and many of our local officials. High praise was extended to the Architect, John Jordan of Hancock for his simple but elegant design. At this time, we the building committee wish to express our thanks to all who extended advice and support to us during the building phase. Special recognition goes to Denise Johnson, former Chairman of the Library Trustees for her efforts in providing adequate space for the Library activities. The addition is now an accomplished fact. It is fully staffed and is providing expanded services to the Town of Milford as witnessed by increased membership and book circulation. This beautiful building will serve our Town well for many years. We are proud to report that the final building costs are under the $950,000 appropriated for the addition. As Chairman of this committee, I am pleased to report the completion of our assignment; and while I am publicly thanking members of this committee for their untiring support and efforts, I am well aware of the fact that sometimes a mere thank you is inadequate.

DRAPER I I 109 NAivHUA REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION 1986 The Nashua Regional Planning Commission has ma'.ie signifjcani prog ress on several key rcjional projects during n<36. The? t'lnal reports of the Aquifer^ Delineiation Study, conducted by the 113 Geological Survey, were delivered by the end o€ the year. A handbook for using these materials, "A Practical Guide to GroundKater Resources and their Protec- tion". WHS prepared by the Commission in the past year, as ,vell. Aquifer protection workshops have been held in nearly all of the region's member communities, an'l the staff has assisted severaJ tonns in preparing aquifer protection ordinances and regulations. In reaction to the new legislation regarding a water resour^ces element for municipaJ master plans, Chapter 16", the Commission has prepared "Hater Resources Management and Protection Components, a Des- criptive Model for the Preparation of the Municipal Master Plan," This IS a guide for communities that would like to add a water resources section to an existing master plan, or to include such a section in a new maslei- plan. The Staff is gearing up to assist communities in this endeavor. Silver^ Lake, at the Sil /er^ Lake State Park in Hollis. ^ The Commission successfully coordinated a bi -regional Household Hazardous Haste Collection Pi'oject in June, under the auspices of the Nashua Regional Solid Haste Disti^ict. Collections were held at the Milford Hastewater Treatment P] ant and the Nashua Public Rorks Garage. The project involved all of the communities in the Nashua Regional Solid Ifasle District, and the Hilton Recycling District. All of the Commis- sion' s member^ communities, except Litchfield and Pelham, are members of one of the districts, and participated in the project. A septage disposal study prepared for the Souhegan Regional Land- fill District was completed in the sprung; and Federal monies are being sought in order to implement the most viable option. In October, the NRPC released its "1986 Housing Market Study of the Nashua Region," The study confirmed the fast rising prices of the early part of the year and pointed out some disturbing news. To pui^chase a house in this region, a family needs an income of at least $50,000, 166% of the average income in this region. As a result of these findings, the Commission is pur'suing a grant fr^om the New Hampshire Housing Finance Agency to study the feasibility of a public-private partnership to do something ab(5ut the situation. In June, an "Infrastructure Study of the Nashua Region" was com pleted. This report was the basis for a decision to prepare a Regional Capital Improvements Plan. It was decided that there are several areas in which it would be advantageous to look at; and thus plan for certain infrastructure facilities from a regional viewpoint. The Regional CIP should be completed in June, 1987. 110 The Commission has continued to strive forward in 1986 Kith its regional highnay planning efforts. Notable accomplishments include the preparation of the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), Rhich pro- vides a prioritized listing of transportation improvement projects with- in the region. The 1986 TIP contained over $90 million worth of highway improvement projects to be conducted in the NRPC communities over the next five (5) years, with approximately 90 percent of the funds to be iisecured from federal and state sources. Furthermore, the Commission has aided several towns in determining traffic impacts from the increased pressure of development via our traffic impact review service. In addition, plans are currently underway to develop and implement a mech- anism by which towns may assess developers a road payback fee to help defray the cost of development pressure on local roads. The Commission has been equally active in providing local planning assistance. Many communities have taken advantage of our circuit ri^des^ program which makes a professional planner available to the Town on a part-time basis. In addition, we have completed several master plans and are working on, or have completed, capital improvements plans for six (6) sommunities. The usual assistance in reviewing plans and impact statements, and writing of ordinances has been in great demand as well. Assistance and data to be used by the Town of Hilford in the ipreparation of a Capital Improvements Plan was provided during 1986. Commission staff have reviewed traffic impact studies prepared by pplicants for subdivisions. The staff reviewed the studies for acoura- cy of data and calculations. They prepared reports that were presented !to the Planning Board. In September, the Commission Staff began a study of the transporta- tion and traffic flow problems at Hilford' s public school facilities. The preliminary results of the work were presented in November with the final report completed and presented to the Superintendent of School* s iOffice by the end of 1986. The NRPC held discussions with officials of the Town concerning a transportation study focusing on the Hilford Oval, and alternatives to the existing road system in the central business area of town. Ill STREET NUMBERING COMMITTEE During 1 986, the Street Numbering Committe progressed well. We estimate that our project is 80% complete. Most of the major streets have been numbered with a few minor exception. Little Wheeling, (physical measuring of streets) was done due to the fact that most of the effort was directed towards updating and verifying previously assigned numbers for imput into the town's new computer system. This information will be accessible to all departments, as well as to the general public. Any future building on already completed streets will be assigned numbers by Town Officials according to criteria established by the Street Numbering Committee. The committee anticipates that, with the cooperation of weather, measuring of streets can be completed in 1987, new numbers assigned, and all residents notified within the coming year. ANNE ADAMS, Chairperson Anne McConnel Dr. Richard St.Cyr Kay Pratt 112 MILFORD PLANNING BOARD Milford continues to be very much part of the rapidly growing Southern New Hampshire community. New applications to the Planning Board in 1986 followed the record pace set during the previous two (2) years. The number of plans for both single family residential and industrial sites compared to multi-family and commercial applications was particularly high this past year. Last year, the Planning Board submitted fifteen (15) new zoning amendments for public approval to aid in the planning of orderly growth in Milford. The voters once again strongly supported the Board in this effort. We also recreived invaluable direction and assistance from our former Zoning Administrator, Bryhan McMahon. Bryhan did leave his mark on the Town of Milford with his accomplishments including the reorganization and recodification of the entire Milford Zoning Ordinance and Development Code that contains all of the regulations for land use and building development in Milford. Bryhan also developed erosion control regulations, and had begun the write-up for the State mandated Capital Improvements Plan. In addition to the direct help that the Planning Board received, having a full-time Zoning Administrator streamlined the procedures for site and plan review for the public and other town departments. The Zoning Ordinance remains under continuous scrutiny by the Planning Board and the Zoning Board of Adjustment. The recent recodification and amendments designed to update or correct the Ordinance has made it easier to use. The Master Plan adopted in 1985 continues to be a guideline for future land use and is consulted by the Board for daily matters as well as the preparation of zoning amendments. Updating the Zoning Ordinance is a continual process that attempts to keep pace with the changes in our town. The members of the Planning wish to thank all of the volunteers and town employees for their help and support during the past year. A special thanks is due to Shirley Carl who tirelessly serves as secretary to both the Planning Board and the Board of Adjustment. Also, special thanks goes to Peter Leishman, the Selectmen's Representative to the Planning Board, for his unfailing service to the Board. Respectfully Submitted RICHARD MACE, CHAIRMAN 113 TOWN RETIREMENT STUDY COMMITTEE This committee was asked to conduct a study of the present Town Retirement Systen, and to report its findings along with recommendations to the Board of Selectmen. Accordingly, the committee gathered Milford's available demographic data relative to average compensation of employees, average age of the workforce, and average years of creditable service under the present (State) retirement system. The results were then compared to similar data furnished by a number of New Hampshire communities of comparable size, both within and without the State Retirement System. Analysis of the data suggested that employee turnover prior to the tenth (10th) year of creditable service (after which benefits vest) has prevented the Town from realizing an optimal return upon its invest- ment in the State system. Town funds contributed on behalf of employees who terminate employment prior to bhecoming vested are not refundable to the Town. The committee then attempted to locate a replacement or supplemental plan which would offer a more cost-effective return to the employee upon the Town's contribution. One program was analyzed in depth. It was concluded that the turnover/vesting problem would probably remain a consideration, and a Town contribution several times larger than presently required under the State plan would be necessary. Consideration was also given to the possibility that the Town might withdraw from the State system, and use the funds thus freed for other forms of employee benefits and/or compensation. A concensus developed that the most prudent course for the Town to follow under the present circumstances would involve remaining in the State Retirement System while continuing efforts to reduce employee turnover. Given the large surplus in the State Retirement System, it was also suggested that consideration be given to participation in a legislative incentive to reduce the period of vesting in the State system. The above findings and recommendations were reported to the \ Board of Selectmen on January 19, 1987. Geoffrey P. Lynch, Esquire J. Alden Tansey Vernon H. Trudo 114 TOWN WELFARE Southern New Hampshire is enjoying great economic and industrial growth as evidenced by Milford's own growth during 1986. But as the economy grows, so does the demand for affordable housing. In this aspect every community in the Southern tier is in distress. Milford still has no low -income housing (those earning under $13,000 gross per year), very limited moderate- income housing, and limited elderly housing. Of the 327 inquiries by potential clients, 33% were for rent assistance or inquiry into affordable housing. If local industry is to maintain it's workforce, affordable housing will become a key issue. ' Thirty Seven (37) families qualified under the Town of Milford Welfare Guidelines. Of those families, twenty-six (26) needed rental assistance. This department will continue to seek alternate resources with which to provide services when Town Assistance overlaps. We will f continue to assist those m need v;ho may not qualify for Town I I Assistance, but are in need of temporary help. We currently call upon I other civic agencies and the local churches. Town Welfare continues to participate in programs that provide education in areas of I identification of sexual emotional abuse of children, chemical substance abuse, families in stress, rape and assault, planned parenthood, crisis pregnancies, birth right, New England Food Bank. St. Patrick's Church Food Pantry, Private Industries Job Training programs, Nashua Adult Education programs, Milford Regional Counselling, Southern I I New Hampshire Services Fuel Assistance and Weather ization programs, 'distribution of surplus food commodities. Women, Infants and Children -J Nutrition, Head -Start and Day Care I Education Programs, Elderly Housing and the Retired Senior Volunteer Program. The Welfare department receives much cooperation from the Visiting Nurses Association, Hillsborough County Education, whose programs include GED tutoring, English as a second language, budget and nutrition counselling. We also are working with the Nashua Area Emergency Shelter for the homeless and I fare familiar with the elder-pet program, the Senior work programs, national eye care for the low-income and elderly. We work with the New Hampshire Legal Assistance with regards to common concerns of the poor, and are working with suppliers of public utilities and landlords for the benefit of the client. II The Town of Milford is liable for any poor person who qualifies under the Welfare Guidelines. It is anticipated that costs will level off in the next year. Milford is very fortunate to have community minded people who are willing to share their good fortunes. To close this report, I simply thank all who extended their hand this past year. PATTI Z.
