Attorney William Drescher was chosen and has done an outstanding job for 1984. A position of general foreman to aid Mr. Robert Courage was established. Unfortunately the position was filled only for a short time. The police holding cell doors were replaced to allow full view of the cell area to allow timely intervention in the event of a suicide attempt. Selectman Walter Putnam resigned and was appointed to serve until Town Meeting. Selectmen Ernest Barrett and Bart Prestipino chose not to run again. From a large field of candidates the Town voted in May Gaffney (1 year) Avery Johnson (3 years) and Bill English (2 years). Incumbent Rosario Ricciardi was re-elected (3 years) and became Chairman. Adjusted Elderly Exemption was adopted by Town Meeting. Among other things, the value of the elderly person's home is no longer included in the eligibihty requirements. The Band Concert Committee recommended a Fourth of July celebra- tion including the New Hampshire Symphony and fireworks. The cost would be high and the Town rejected the idea. Ownership of land in the Hilton Homes area was finally resolved when the unrecorded deeds were found in the Town Vault. Lee Mayhew, appointed Administrative Assistant in July, has been a tremendous help in the day-to-day operation of the Town. Building permits are to be posted for five working days prior to ap- proval to allow citizen input. In April, the Selectmen resolved the status of the many zoning protest petitions. Town employees were issued uniforms. The UNICEF issue was resolved with the cost to the Town for legal fees being in the amount of $850.00 Robert Courage was appointed to oversee the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The owners of Leisure Village Trailer Park agreed to a compromise on elderly residences there. The office of Building Inspector and Planning Board moved upstairs to the old "Banquet Hall" for more room. The 1940 Tax Maps were copied and retouched and reduced. Milford received a writ of summons in regards to the October 28, 1983 suicide in the police cell. The suit is in the amount of $300,000.00. For several months the Selectmen attempted to resolve a noise prob- lem at night on Perkins Street. A new 1984 Zoning Ordinance prohibited "excessive noise" but without any further definitions. The Board struggl- ed to resolve the problem. Finally a compromise was attained by moving the activity to a daytime hour. The police set up a sting operation using a Selectman's front money to apprehend an alleged prostitute. In July the railroad crossing on Nashua Street was replaced. Flags on the graves at Riverside Cemetery became an issue. A perma- nent memorial plot at the entrance stands to honor all veterans and therefore individual flags would be left on graves for one week only. Flags are available at the Selectmen's Office. An underground gas tank at the Gulf Station on Elm Street leaked and polluted the Souhegan River with approximately 300 gallons of fuel. "No through truck" traffic was discussed but it was decided to en- courage use of the By-pass by improving the traffic signs. Handicapped parking was established in front of the Town Hall. A major water line break in front of the Catholic Church drained our Mayflower tank. Extraordinary efforts of the V/ater Department resolv- ed the problem. Northeast Hydrodevelopment Co. expressed interest in the dam below the swinging bridge to generate electricity. This is an on-going issue. A committee to suggest a course of action regarding parking meters was appointed. During the last few months of 1984, traffic on Amherst Street was reviewed and minimal measures were instituted. A fire alarm system was installed at the Town Hall. The residents of the Town and Country Mobile Home Park in East Milford received word that the park would be sold and condominiums would be built there. The Keyes Well was found to be contaminated at a very low level but had to be shut down. Selectmen and Planning Board members struggled with the building boom that threatens to exacerbate all problems. Carl Holland donated the Agricultural Land Development rights of his farm on Osgood Road to the Town. Everyone appreciates his generosity. Town employees were granted an eleventh paid holiday - the day after Thanksgiving. In closing, the Board of Selectmen wish to thank all the citizens who devoted time to committees and boards. 8 TOWN MEETING 1985 WARRANT The polls will be open from 2:00 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 Auditorium in said Milford on Tuesday, the twelfth day of March, next at two of the clock in the after- noon to act upon the following subjects: ARTICLE 1 To choose all necessary Town Officers for the year ensuing.

    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.
