HomeMy WebLinkAbout1984 A Year of Promise Not only was substantial progress mede in 1984, but certain activities which began this year also offer great promise for the future. Cherter Commission ~igneture Drive Spearheaded by the North Andover League of Women Voters, and fully supported by the Board of Selectmen, a successful signature drive was undertaken in 1984, gathering the necessery fifteen percent of all registered voters' signatures to place the question of adopting a charter and forming a Charter Commission on the March 4, 1985, Annual Town Election ballot. There can be no single issue fac%ng the Town government which is more important than the way we do business--the structure of our government--for it affects our ebility to deal effectively with all the other issues we face. The Charter Commission process is a unique opportunity for local self-examination provided by the Home Rule Amendment to the Massachusetts Constitution; and we would look forward to such a process. Transition in 1984 With 1984 came the election by his fellow members of John W. Graham as Chairman of the Board of Selectmen. Subsequently, elected by the voters as new Board members were Kenneth C. Crouch and Francis X. Dugan. The members welcome Ken and Frank as new Selectmen and express their thanks to Jack Graham for a fine year as chairman. 1984 also saw the departure of Executive Secretary John P. Bohenko to become Town Manager of Plainville, Connecticut: and the arrival of Keith A. Bergman from the Town of Nantucket, Massachusetts, where he had served as that Board of Selectmen's Executive Secretary for three-and-a-half years. The Board extends its best wishes to John in his new endeavors and welcomes Keith to the many challenges which await us all in the months ahead. Our thanks must go to our office staff, Catherine J. Foley and Karen A. Robertson, for their valued efforts in 1984; and most especially to Selectmen's Secretary Alice M. Letarte, who retired in September after twenty-two years of service to the Town of North Andover. It hardly seems like the same place without you, Alice. Our thanks to all other Town employees and officials for their assistance in 1984. We look forward to a good year in 1985. Respectfully submitted, Joh~ W. Graham, Chm. Christine M. Smith, Chm., Licensing Comm. Charles A. Salisbury, Clerk Kenneth C. Crouch Francis X. Dugan Advisor~ Board The Advisory Board, also known as the Finance Committee, is a nine-member Board of North Andover residents who are appointed by the Town Moderator for three-year terms. According to the Town by-laws, the Advisory Board is charged with the responsibility of reviewing all proposed fiscal budgets of the numerous Town departments and committees and of making recommendations at the Annual Town Meeting not only on the adoption of these budgets, but also on the adoption of all other articles that may appear on the Town Meeting Warrant. Additionally, the Advisory Board manages a so-called Reserve Fund. This fund is used to supplement the budgets of the various Town departments and committees when they are faced with unforeseen expenditures that cannot be paid from their respective budgets. For fiscal year 1984, Town Meeting approval set this fund at $150,000.00 During the course of the administration of this fund, the Advisory Board approved transfers totalling $148,478.98; the balance of $1,521.02 was returned to the Town's general fund. The Advisory Board met approximately sixty times between July 1983 and the close of the fiscal year. The women and men who serve on the Advisory Board receive no compensation for this service as the Board is a voluntary agency in its truest sense. The Board has a paid part-time secretary who attends all meetings. Our Board regretfully accepted secretary for the past fourteen years. appreciation for a job well done. the resignation of Carol Good, our Our best wishes go with her and much Respectfully submitted, Grace Lindfors, Chairwoman Lynette Pisanl, Vice-Chairwoman Nancy A.

The majority of requests were for setback, frontage, and area variances. A variety of others were for conversions to multi-family dwellings, family suites, cutting within the Watershed District, division of land, and use of towers. A second request for a heliport was denied by the Board. Public hearings were customarily held on the second Monday of each month in the Town Office Meeting Room unless otherwise advertised due to displacement by Monday holidays. The Board would again like to thank Building Inspector Charles Foster for his professional assistance provided both at our monthly meetings and on a daily basis.

Foster, Inspector of Buildings John J. Thompson, Electrical Inspector Greg Phelan, Gas Inspector Civil Defense The past year (1984) bas not been very eventful for the ~orth Andover Civil Defense Agency. Following are some of the highlights for this reporting period through June 1984: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has done away with Progam Papers. All communities that were previously eligible to participate in this program for federal matching funds still continue their eligibility. There is presently no surplus property program under FEMA. In early spring, the Town accepted the newly built Senior Center which abuts the Civil Defense Emergency Operating Center (EOC). Since completion of its construction, our EOC has been plagued with numerous problems which did not previously exist. One of the worst is dampness on the walls which has caused the newly installed wood paneling to buckle. This creates a problem of a musty smell which will necessitate the use of a dehumidifier. The Town authorities have been notified of the problem which will play havoc with our electronic equipment if not resolved. The Building Inspector is aware of the problem and meetings are scheduled with the Board of Selectmen. We trust an early solution will be forthcoming. On the bright side, our newly acquired 220 Mhz repeater located on the Boston Hill former MITRE/Air Force site (thanks to the civic mindedness of Mr. Benjamin Farnum) continues to give us a 24-hour dedicated communications capability in case of emergencies. Our communications posture has been greatly enhanced by the installation of this repeater. We continue to exercise all our communications equipment with state and local C.D. nets on a weekly basis. Our Auxiliary Police continue to provide excellent service to the Town in the conduct of vandalism patrols of all public schools, playgrounds, and any other Town facilities under the auspices of the regular Police Department. We have experienced a significant increase in training in conjunction with the regular Police Department with thanks to Chief Sullivan and Lt. Richard Stanley as well as other members of the regu].ar department. The following are current members of the Auxiliary Police under the command of Sgt. R. Dennis Dionne: Executive Officer Ernest Harvey, Patrolmen Carl Wagoner, Michael J. Twomey, Jr., Hilton P. Cormey, Joseph Sullivan, Jr., Richard Boettcher, and Eileen Burns. We welcome Mr. Gregory Phair our latest addition to the force. The following are the current members of the RACES Communications Group: Joseph Sullivan, Jr., Communications Officer William Sherlock, Carleton Wilson, Douglas Wilson, Richard Slade, Leonard Somers, Gerald Rowen, David Upton, Joseph Demers, and Edward Adams; also, CB'ers Joseph Whitehead and Ernest Harvey. Ail of the Civil Defense volunteers maintain a fairly heavy schedule with their voluntary duties. They assist the Town in all parades, bike-a-thons, road races, Halloween patrols, etc. The Auxiliary Police maintain proficiency annually in first aid, water safety, vehicular extrication, firearms safety, and other related subjects. We are always on the lookout for recruitment of volunteers willing to serve as communications personnel, Auxiliary Police, or Civil Defense staff members. Communications personnel must possess valid Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Radio Amateur licenses and all Auxiliary Police must be over 21 years of age and be able to pass investigation by the Police Department. Any interested individual meeting the above criteria is eligible regardless of sex, race, or creed. Contact or information may be obtained by contacting the undersigned or any member of our group. Annual own - ., And over assac use]: :s FY1985 If a town that changes and grows and has involved citizens is a healthy town, then North Andover is a very healthy town. The growth of our town can be seen in every direction, bringing new energy and involvement from residents who were drawn to North Andover. We have many "drawing points" of which to be proud: our fine school system, our exceptional roadways and services. Along our tree-lined streets we find a certain small town ambiance that appeals to everyone. In this past year we have seen very healthy growth in our downtown area. The growth is not just in brick and buildings and landscaping, it is in the spirit and enthusiasm that ~s felt by everyone rediscovering downtown North Andover. The Town Report Committee is indebted to the town department heads and departmental employees for their cooperation in the work of compiling these reports. We would also like to thank Elizabeth Ruben for supplying the photos in this year's report. TOWN REPORT COMMITTEE Ida Harwood Margaret LawlOr Daniel Long Karen Robertson Martha Salisbury Board of Selectmen A Year of Progress As the great strides made downtown underscore, Nineteen Eighty-Four was a year which saw significant and substantial progress made by the Town of North Andover, progress in which we can all take great pride. Downtown Revitalization Project The November 24, 1984, ribbon-cutting on Main Street both heralded the major beautification and reconstruction activities there and began a new era for Downtown North Andover this year. As a culmination of three years of Community Development block grant-funded activity, the downtown revitalization project brought with it the repaying of Main Street; adding of new curbing and brick crosswalks: pedestrian walkways, landscaping, and park benches--all as a public commitment to foster an economic rebirth of the commercial heart of North Andover. The accomplishments here were considerable and featured such new public facilities as: Senior Citizens Center: A new 4,300-square-foot headquarters for the many activities offered by the North Andover Council on Aging; along with supplying a new home for the Department of Civil Defense and a large meeting facility for community activities; and Municipal. Parking Lot: A 65-space facility located behind Town Hall and the Senior Center and accessible to Main Street businesses. The Selectmen and the residents of North Andover can rightly be proud of these accomplishments, due in large measure to the Community Development Office and the many Town officials who worked cooperatively with them in overseeing the project. Our thanks especially to former Community Development Director Rick Domas, Program Administrator Lisa Ruben, and Highway Surveyor Buddy Cyr. Grant Awards in 1984 PWED Grant of $319,506 for Holt Road: With the opening of the North East Solid Waste Committee's resource recovery facility operated by Signal-Resco imminent, the Town received the good news in September that the Executive Office of Transportation and Construction had awarded North Andover a $319,506 grant for the reconstruction of the access road to this facility. Awarded under the Public Works Economic Development (PWED) program, this money will be used by the Highway Department to undertake major improvements to Holt Road. $37,420 for Property Along the Merrimack: The Town was also the recipient in 1984 of a grant of $37,420 from the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs for acquisition of property along the Merrimack River. The property is held by the Conservation Commission and is slated for emergency river access for the Fire Department. A Year of Promise Not only was substantial progress made in 1984, but certain activities which began this year also offer great promise for the future. Charter Commission Signature Drive Spearheaded by the North Andover League of Women Voters, and fully supported by the Board of Selectmen, a successful signature drive was undertaken in 1984, gathering the necessary fifteen percent of all registered voters' signatures to place the question of adopting a charter and forming a Charter Commission on the March 4, 1985, Annual Town Election ballot.

The Charter Commission process is a unique opportunity for local self-examination provided by the Home Rule Amendment to the Massachusetts Constitution; and we would look forward to such a process.

Coco North Andover Civil Defense Director Community Development The Office of Co~m~unity Development, established to pursue and administer state and federal funding sources, completed this year with the unfortunate prospects of ceasing its operations due to a lack of funding. Despite this disappointment, the Office can claim many notable accomplishments, including those listed below= · Completion of a new 4,300 sq. ft. Senior Citizens Center behind the Town Hall; · Completion of a 65-spaCe landscaped municipal parking facility to serve the Town Hall, the Senior Citizens Center, and the Downtown merchants; · Completion of public housing modernization activities undertaken by the Housing Authority and funded by the Office of Community Development; · Commencement of street, sidewalk, traffic signalization, landscaping, drainage, and water main improvements on Main Street; · Completion of drainage and street improvements on Sargent, Patriot, Belmont, and Ashland Streets undertaken by the Highway Department and funded by the Office of Community Development; · Completion of preliminary engineering plans for the proposed Davis & Furber Access Road; and · Renovation of 76 substandard residential housing units. Many of the achievements over the past four years could not have taken place without the contribution of Community Development staff members, Gayton Osgood, Barbara Kaiser, Richard Domas, Joseph Satlak, Joseph Rajewskl, Betsy Shreve, Anne Gauthier, and Audrey Taylor as well as other committed Town departments and boards. With some success during the past year, the Office of Community Development competed with other cities and towns of the Commonwealth for several grants. The Office was successful in obtaining $37,420.00 from the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs for the acquisition of property located along the Merrimack River. Additionally, the Town was awarded $319,506 from the Massachusetts Department of Public Works to upgrade Holt Road under the direction of the Highway Department. Unfortunately, the Office was not successful in obtaining funding for the proposed access road to the Davis and Furber Mill complex or continued funding from the Massachusetts Small Cities Community Development Block Grant program - the primary funding source of the Office and its staff. As of the writing of this report, the Town has an Economic Development Set-Aside (EDSA) grant application pending with the Massachusetts Executive Office of Communities and Development. If funded, the EDSA grant will be used to promote economic development activities by providing a below market rate loan to a needy business. The proceeds generated from the loan will be a new found source of revenue for the Town. 10 As shown on the chart submitted with this report, the Town of North Andover, through the Office of Community Development, has received over $3.8 million of state and federal funds between the years of 1980 and 1984. These funds have been used to improve the well-being of North Andover citizens as well as the Town itself. It has been a great source of pleasure to serve the citizens of North Andover.

Once again, the bulk of our time was spent administering the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' and the Town of North Andover's Wetlands Protection laws. In fiscal 1984 the Commission held 27 meetings, received 35 Notices of Intents, and 28 Requests for Determination. 35 Orders of Condition were issued and numerous existing Orders were extended and Compliances granted. Further, in addition to the regular bi-weekly evening meetings, a great many site visits, work sessions, and sub-committee meetings were held. During 1984, under the auspices of the Community Development Office and with funds they obtained, the Town acquired a parcel of land along the Merrimack River for conservation purposes. In summary, the year was full and active. Respectifully submitted, Anthony Galvagna, Chairman Phillip Doyle, Esq.

This past year the Department was involved with three train derailments on the Boston & Maine Railroad, the most serious of which was on January 20, 1984. Corrections to the rails have been made from Haverhill to Lawrence, and we hope that we will not have a recurrence of this type. On May 6, 1984, a pilotless plane struck and exploded on impact at the rear of "Ken's Auto" on Osgood Street. The response from Lawrence and Haverhill Fire Departments on mutual aid greatly assisted in suppressing this fire. Through a cooperative effort and donation of the Lawrence Airport, we received a slide program for dealing with aircraft fires. This was donated prior to the May 6 incident and is now part of our training package. The Department once again, with the cooperation of two local, insurance companies, sponsored the "Captain No Burn" fire prevention program in all North Andover schools grades 1 - 5. Firefighters James Crane and Andy Sullivan completed and passed the seven-week recruit training program at the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy. After 24 years of service to the Town, Mr. Dana N. Fisher retired as a member of the Board of Fire Engineers but has offered his services to us as a private citizen. Former Executive Secretary John Bohenko acted as the third member of the Board of Fire Engineers for a short time, and we appreciate his assistance in both his capacity as Executive Secretary and member on our Board. 16 We intend to service the needs of the Town as in the past and prepare for the demands for those services because of the present and future development of the Town. We thank all the members of the Fire Department and all Town departments for the cooperation we have received, but most of all we thank the townspeople of North Andover for their continued support.

Since its initial operation in April, 1977, the facility has treated more than 68 billion gallons of wastewater that was previously discharged, untreated, into the Merrimack River. During 1983, the average flow through the plant was 31.59 million gallons/day. Since each community pays for their proportionate share of the District's operating costs, it is necessary to measure the amount of wastewater from each. In 1983, Lawrence's average daily flow amounted to 15.58 million gallons per day (49.32%), Methuen's was 7.36 million gallons per day (23.32%), Andover's was 5.30 million gallons per day (16.76%), and North Andover's was 3.35 million gallons per day (10.60%). The percentages are used to establish the annual assessment for each community, e.g. Andover and North Andover will pay 16.67% and 10.60% respectively for the total operation and maintenance costs of the District for fiscal year 1985. Operation and Maintenance In 1983, 8169 tons of solids were removed from the wastewater, dewatered and incinerated to a sterile ash. The power requirements for pumping and treating the wastes amounted to 12.6 million KWH or $836,000. The plant effluent was treated with 110 tons of clorine to kill any bacteria before discharging to the Merrimack River. The septage handling facility continued to have an impact on water quality in the northeast part of the state by providing an approved disposal site for handling residential septic tank wastes. The District expanded its service area to include septage from 38 communities. The additional waste load is assimilated into the existing reserve capacity included in the plant. This excess capacity also allows the District to receive wastewater sludge from the Towns of Maynard and Rockport, the City of Lowell, City of Gloucester, and AT&T (Western Electric). This service is extended until these communities complete modifications of their wastewater treatment facilities. The monies received from septic tank pumpers and the communities of Maynard, Rockport, Lowell, and Gloucester are used to reduce the operating budget and assessment to District member communities. This is illustrated under the section of Financial Management. The summer of 1984 saw the first serious odor problems at the District. The biological system became overtaxed due to excessive loading and turned septic. The problem was remedied by stopping all significant loading from outside the District and allowing the system to recover. In order to prevent a recurrence of this problem in the future, two steps were taken: (1) the solids handling capacity was increased, and (2) the funding process was initiated to increase the capacity of the biological system. The District is in the process of installing a second belt filter press as a back up to existing equipment. This installation was modified to allow operating two presses and two incinerators thereby doubling our capacity. This will insure that we will not become overloaded with solids in the future. The biological system will be expanded by adding another aeration tank and clarifier. The District will seek federal and state funds to add these units. The added capacity should meet the needs of the District well into the 1990's. 18 S~ecial Projects The District's hydroelectric generator installation was completed and operational on October 17, 1983. The unit will generate approximately 700,000 KWH/year and reduce the amount of power purchased from Mass. Electric. The total project cost $604,000 and was funded by a state grant of $291,000 and District funds of $313,000. The simple payback on District monies is 6.8 years. The Salem tie-in proceeded smoothly during the year and construction of the new intercepting sewer to New Hampshire will begin in April, 1985, and be completed in the spring of 1987. The project will receive full federal and state funding, i.e., 90%. The District communities benefit by having Salem share in the fixed operation and maintenance costs and share in the debt service. The project represents an achievement in cooperation between two states and five communities. The District is working with the Signal-Resco Resource Recovery Facility in North Andover by providing treated effluent for their process and treating wastewater generated at the facility. This is a unique combination and shows that treated wastewater is a resource that can be recovered along with the solid waste that will be burned to produce power. Financial Management The District continues to be successful in managing its finances to keep the local assessments down in spite of increases in the cost of doing business. For the fifth year in a row the approved budget is lower than the previous year as summarized below. This is a result of maximizing the yield from investments, energy conservation, taking in sludge and septage from outside the District, and efficient operation. The numbers speak for themselves. Fiscal Year 1981 - $3.42 million Fiscal Year 1982 - $3.32 million Fiscal Year 1983 - $3.29 million Fiscal Year 1984 - $3.24 million Fiscal Year 1985 - $3.23 million Although it becomes increasingly difficult to keep costs down, the District will continue to pursue this goal and rely on the resourcefulness of its employees to accomplish it. We have been very successful to date. Respectfully submitted, John L. Finneran, Secretary Greater Lawrence Sanitary District 19 Health. Board of This past year has been one of transition for the Board of Health. R. George Caron, who had been a member of the Board since 1949, d~ed in September of 1983. Doctor Julius Kay, who joined the Board in 1950, retired at the end of his term in January of 1984. Edward J. Welsh, who served as Plumbing Inspector for 32 years, also retired in 1984. Gayton Osgood and Doctor John Rizza have joined the Board. The jurisdiction over the Plumbing Inspector's position was transferred to the office of the Building Inspector. Communicable Diseases Programs of immunization administered by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the local Boards of Health have all but eliminated many serious communicable diseases. Measles, mumps, and rubella are no longer prevalent but constant monitoring is required to insure that outbreaks of these diseases do not reoccur. The incidence of tuberculosis has constantly declined since 1959. Our public health nurse maintains a monthly check on all residents known to have active tuberculosis or to have been in contact with a person with the active disease. These people are required to report on a regular basis to a physician or public health clinic. Therapeutic drugs, x-rays, and other services required to control tuberculosis are provided at no charge to the Board of Health. Vaccines and testing materials for the control of communicable diseases are provided free of charge to local physicians. The names of persons diagnosed as having a communicable disease are reported to the Board of Health in order that proper statistics can be maintained. Each year the Board operates a flu immunization clinic for senior citizens, Town employees, and people with chronic respiratory conditions. Last year 761 people received innoculations at the clinic. The Board is indebted to the volunteer nurses and clerical helpers who made these clinics possible. Environmental Health During the past year, there was a large increase in the number of new homes constructed in areas of Town not served by municipal sewer. Permits were issued for 308 lots. That is nearly double the number issued in the previous year. As a part of the Board's continued efforts to safeguard the Town's water supply, plans were approved for a privately financed sewer line to serve a section of Osgood Street, the northly end of Great Pond Road, and the French Farm subdivision. Plans are now underway to extend this sewer line along Great Pond Road to Brooks School and to connect two condominium developments to the line. Business establishments on Osgood Street that are now served by septic systems w~ll also be able to tie into this new sewer llne. A review of our regulations pertaining to the installation of subsurface disposal systems was made and changes were made in these regulations that will result in better control of septic system installations in the watershed of Lake Cochichewick. New well regulations were adopted during the past year that require all well drillers to obtain a permit for each well drilled in North Andover. Information must be filed showing the location of the well, the depth of the well, and a report on the quality of water obtained. These regulations are intended to protect the buyers of new homes that are located in areas of the Town not served by the municipal water supply. 20 Food Services The Board of Health is responsible for inspection of all food service establishments, retail food outlets, caterers, mobile food vendors, and all other businesses that deal with the processing or sale of food. Each establishment is inspected each month by a registered sanitarian to insure that all food handling is done in accordance with the Massachusetts Sanitary Code. All violations of the code are reported to the Board along with retch%mended corrective actions that must be made. failure to correct violations can result in a loss of license or closure of the offending establishment. Last year the Board established a procedure to issue provisional food service permits to home kitchens. Courses in sanitary procedures were conducted for home cooks and each kitchen was inspected and approved for the preparation of specific foods. Products made in home kitchens can only be sold through licensed retail food service establishments in North Andover~ Summer Camps and Housing Last year the Board implemented procedures to inspect summer camps that are operated for sports and recreation purposes within the Town. These facilities are inspected to insure that the children who attend are properly supervised and that the camps comply with the Massachusetts State Sanitary Code. During the past year, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of complaints dealing with safety and sanitary conditions in rental housing units. These complaints result in an inspection of the housing unit and if violations are found, the owner of the property is notified by the Board of corrective action that must be taken. The Board works closely with the North Andover Fire Department in these cases because many of the units inspected have been found to lack smoke detectors or have other fire safety related defects.

Respectfully submitted, William A. Cyr Highway Surveyor Historical Commission The Historical Commission this year completed the long awaited brochure entitled A Walking Tour of National Register Districts in North Andover, Massachusetts. The districts include the Old Center and Machine Shop Village. The Commission received requests for, and supplied data on, 10-12 Ashland Street and the former Davis and Furber property. Extensive information concerning the Davis and Furber property was gathered and sent to the present owner. The Commission also supported the efforts of the North Andover Historical Preservation Committee to restore and protect the Old North Parish Burial Ground. Respectfully submitted, Mary Hart, Chairman Louisa M. King Anna C. Howes Maria Ward Martha Larson Caroline L. Cole Kathleen T. Szyska 23 Housing Authority As Executive Director, I am pleased to submit, on behalf of the North Andover Housing Authority Board of Commissioners and its Chairwoman, Anna O'Connor, the Authority's 36th annual report for fiscal year ending September 30, 1984. This report has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 12lB of the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which governs housing authorities. During the year, the Authority has assisted and provided low-rent, subsidized units for approximately 350 citizens of our Town. These low-rent units are distributed in six developments, which consist of 239 units of elderly and 24 units of family housing. As well as our publicly-owned apartments, the Authority also administers, through the use of federal funds, a rental subsidy program. The program subsidizes tenants in existing housing that is funded pursuant to Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937. This program is designed to provide a Federal subsidy for housing to eligible moderate- and low-income families, as well as to elderly individuals. The goal of the program is to coordinate both the private and public sector for the purposes of meeting the housing needs of our community. It offers Note' Andover resident families, in need of housing or housing assistance, a cbc_ce of residence amounting to virtually every apartment that qualifies wit~..n~"the housing code and fair market rent guidelines. The success of this program is greatly dependent upon the support of our local landlords. The record, to date, of the Authority has been substantial, both by the number of housing units constructed, as well as the high caliber of the developments. To insure this continued high standard, the Housing Authority has actively pursued state and federal modernization funding. The Authority was successful in obtaining $123,154 from the Executive Office of Communities and Development (EOCD) for energy improvements. Additionally, the Authority received from the Town's Community Development Block Grant Funds, $190,000. These funds were used to upgrade our existing, older housing projects with the majority of the funds being used for insulation, storm windows, and storm doors. Grant money spent in these areas has insured both the comfort to the tenant, as well as energy efficiency and cost savings to the Authority. Listed below, the reader will find a breakdown of funding as received from each of the agencies: Modernization Funding Received Project State C.D.Funds Total Veteran's $ 50,000 $100,000 $150,000 Fountain Dr. 39,950 39,950 Bingham Way 14,700 10,000 24,700 Foulds Ter. 18,500 18,500 Park 80,000 80,000 TOTAL: $123,154 $190,000 $313,500 The Authority constantly strives for a diversified housing program that fulfills the needs of all of its Town residents. Therefore, the Authority has submitted to the Executive Office of Communities and Development a comprehensive application to develop different types of housing. The application consisted of a total of 60 units of housing to be broken down to 24 units of conventional elderly housing, as we presently know it, 24 units of family housing for younger families and families with handicapped dependents, and 12 units of congregate elderly housing. A brief explanation of each of the programs is as follows: 24 Congregate elderly housing= Congregate housing is an intermediate facility for the elderly that would provide services to the elderly such as home care, light housekeeping, nursing, meal preparation, and physical therapy. This type of facility is primarily designed for those elderly who cannot live independently, but do not belong in a nursing home. The need for this type of housing is substantial both for some of the residents presently living in our housing as well as other elderly households throughout the community. With the ever-increasing percentage of elderly population, it is important that the Authority take a progressive attitude towards new types of housing programs. Therefore, our most recent application contains this congregate component. Elderly housing: The Authority is applying for 24 conventional elderly units very similar to those currently developed within the Town. Family housing: The family housing program is designed for families of low or moderate income who require housing or housing assistance. This program would provide much needed housing, allowing young families within our community the opportunity to obtain affordable housing. Handicapped family units: Approximately six of the family units will be specifically designed for families who have one or more physically handicapped members within their household. To date, the Authority has no handicapped housing for family units and this is a need that does exist and should be addressed by the Authority. The Housing Authority expresses its sincere appreciation to the Town departments and to the citizens of North Andover, who supported and assisted the Authority in the development of our much needed housing program and in our continuous effort to provide adequate housing for all residents of our community. Respectfully submitted, Louis P. Minicucci, Jr. Executive Director BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS: Anna P. O'Connor, Chairwoman James D. McCabe Malcolm G. Norwood, Jr. Joseph J. Morkeski Donald Foulds 25 Personnel Board The Personnel Board is a volunteer Board of citizens charged with the responsibility of administering the Personnel By Law which includes salary, classification and fringe benefit plans for Town employees. The Personnel Board is committed to the establishment of sound personnel administrative practices and procedures for the Town of North Andover. In accordance with this goal, the Board set the following goals for fiscal year 1984: · Revision of certain sections of the Personnel By Law. · Oversight of Town personnel administrative policies and procedures to include a viable Wage and Classification Plan and compliance with EEO and Affirmative Action regulations. To accomplish these goals the Personnel Board worked extensively with Town managers and employees and met in official session 30 times. Projects were initiated which resulted in 25 articles for Annual Town Meeting. These articles dealt with cost-of-living adjustments, a wage and classification plan, new positions at the Council on Aging, Fire Department, Tax Collector's Office, Public Works and the Selectmen's Office, the adoption of Martin Luther King Day as a paid holiday and the elimination of two positions from the By Law. The Board holds two or more meetings per month. These meetings are open to the public and are posted in Town Hall at least two days in advance with the time and location indicated. All citizens are welcome to attend meetings and provide suggestions for human resource management in North Andover. Respectfully submitted, Ruth E. Iannazzo, Chairman Personnel Board 26 Planning Board The Planning Board completed another active year conducting nineteen regular meetings and four special meetings, as well as several "on-site" meetings for a variety of proposals. During the year, the Board held thirty-seven public hearings, nineteen of which were held prior to the Annual Town Meeting and a Special Town Meeting concerning proposed changes and amendments to the Town's Zoning Bylaw and zoning map. The remaining public hearings were held for definitive plan submittals, special permits in the Watershed District, a request for a co~umon driveway, and a request to re-petition the Zoning Board of Appeals. Four preliminary plans were submitted to the Board for consideration, resulting in the approval of two and denial of two. Six definitive plans were submitted, five of which were approved and the other withdrawn. In addition, four site plan reviews were conducted by the Board. Our Board continues to be staffed by a full-time planner and a part-time secretary. Our meetings continue to be well attended by citizens, and we thank them for their interest. We also thank Town officials and boards and especially the Highway Surveyor for their continued input and cooperation. Respectfully submitted, Paul A. Hedstrom, Chairman Michael P.

Respectfully submitted, Edward T. Sullivan, Chief North Andover Police Department 30 Public Works. Board of The Board of Public Works herewith submits its 76th report containing the 86th annual report of the Water Department, the 77th annual report of the Sewer Department, the 59th annual report of the Park Department, and the 30th annual report of the School Grounds Department for the year ending June 30, 1984. Respectfully submitted, Raymond J. Canty, Chairman John P. Thompson, Clerk James D. Noble, Jr. Superintendent's Report There were installed in 1983 - 1984, 12,325 feet of twelve-inch, 5,712 feet of eight-inch, 1,015 feet of six-inch ductile iron pipe; 31 twelve-inch, 11 eight-inch, and 39 six-inch gate valves; and 36 fire hydrants. The water main distribution system now consists of 123.93 miles of main pipe; 2 twelve-inch check valves; 1 twelve-inch altitude valve; 183 twelve-inch, 18 ten-inch, 365 eight-inch, 1,440 six-inch, and 4 four-inch gate valves; with 861 public hydrants. Size of Pipe (Inches) 14 12 10 8 6 4 3 Length of Pipe (Feet) 788 165,099 9,930 180,565 275,715 1,262 160 There were installed in 1983 - 1984, either wholly or partially, 182 new water services. The new and renewed water services equalled 432 miles of type "K" copper service pipe. 95 new meters were installed, 47 old meters were repaired, and 2 fire hydrants broken off by cars were replaced. Ail hydrants were inspected, repaired, and painted where necessary. The annual inspection of the 1,900 gate valves and valve boxes in the system was completed. Fluoridation has been continually maintained by the Public Works Department and levels monitored by both ourselves and the State Department of Environmental Engineering. The Board installed 6,050 feet of six-inch ductile iron force main on Great Pond Road, Chickering Road, and Sutton Street in conjunction with the construction of the sewage lift station at Ray's Pond. A new twelve-inch ductile iron cement lined water main was installed on Campbell Road, Ash Street, and Berry Street by Highland Excavators of Marlboro, Mass., the low bidder. This line completed the loop from Salem Turnpike (Route 114) to Salem Street resulting in better pressure and fireflow in this area. Check valves between the public water supply and other sources of supply for industrial and commercial uses have been made in cooperation with the Department of Environmental Engineering. By-weekly bacterial examinations of the water supplied the Town were made by this department at our water testing laboratory. The driveway and parking lot at the Middle School was prepared, and a finish coat of hottop was applied. 10 sewer connections totalling 678 feet were laid between buildings and main sewers. Cleaned were 105 sewers, most of them blocked with roots. All main sewers were inspected, cleaned, and flushed in the spring as usual with the flexible seweroder. 31 The cooperation of all other departments is gratefully acknowledged with particular thanks to the Tree Warden, Leo Lafond and Highway Surveyor, William A. Cyr. Respectfully submitted, Joseph J. Borgesi, Superintendent ~laygrounds...De~artment The playground system now consists of Grogan's Field, 4.7 acres; Drummond Field, 5.0 acres; American Legion Beach, 1.4 acres; Carl A. Thomas Playground, 4.7 acres; Aplin Playground, 1.8 acres; Chadwick Street Playground, 4.1 acres; Reynolds Playground, 3.0 acres - a total of 24.7 acres. The following work was done at Grogan's Field: the baseball infield was regraded, special field mixture was used to build up the pitcher's mound, the skinned area was rototilled and trimmed back, the baseball diamond was laid out and maintained for the junior league, the intermediate league, and the police league. Four farm league diamonds were laid out at the Chadwick Street Playground for the Booster Club. The little league diamond at the Carl A. Thomas Playground was rebuilt and maintained for the teams of the Booster Club. The softball diamond at the Drummond Playground was maintained for the North Andover Softball League and other league teams using the field five evenings a week. The 34th annual swimming meet, held in August and sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 2104, was the usual success. The beach season from June 13, 1984, to September 3, 1984, made it possible for over 6,000 men, women, and children to enjoy the fine recreational facilities. Over 4,000 swimming lessons were given by Beach Director Walter C. Roberts and the lifeguards. Parks School Ground Department The park system now consists of the Center Common, 8.1 acres; training grounds, 1.9 acres; Memorial Park, 2.7 acres; Old Burying Ground, 1 acre; Historical Society Plot; Farrington Burying Ground; and 20 small plots at street intersections - a total of 15 acres. Rea's Pond, Steven's Pond, and Becky's Pond at the training ground were cleared of snow for skating. All park areas were fertilized, mowed, and maintained as usual. The Public Works Department has maintained the school grounds exclusive of the buildings since 1954. The areas involved are: Bradstreet School, 1.20 acres; Thomson School, 3.00 acres, Kittredge School, 6.57 acres, Franklin School, 8.77 acres; North Andover Middle School and Atkinson School, 38.34 acres; and the new Senior High School, 44.52 acres - a total of 102.40 acres. Varsity and junior varsity baseball fields and the track and field event facilities at the Middle School were marked out and prepared over thirty times from April to June for competitive school events with outside schools, as well as constantly maintained for practice. The varsity, junior varsity, and freshman field hockey and baseball fields were marked out and prepared and maintained at the new High School. The High School, Thomson, Kittredge, Franklin, Atkinson, and the Middle School Grounds and athletic fields were fertilized, mowed, and maintained as usual. The football bleachers at the Middle School were repaired, scraped, and sanded where required and also painted. Snow pipes were placed along driveways at all the schools to prevent snow vehicles from damaging turf areas. 32 Statistics of Consumption of Water 1. Population of 1980 Census - 18,138 2.

We began the year with Sunday night skating at the Brooks School rink. This is one of the most successful programs run by the Recreation Department. We again operated 7 playgrounds in Town and for 8 weeks in the summer, held programs in arts and crafts, sports, cook outs, field days, trips to Hampton Beach and Canobie Lake, trips to Boston, and held many special events in Town at various playgrounds as well as at the Community Center. Our evening sports programs continued to attract many boys and girls and adults. We have 16 teams in the mens softball league; a womens softball league; and pony league baseball - 2 leagues, one for 13-year-old boys and one for 14- and 15-year-old boys. Tennis is very popular, and we held many tennis round robins at the courts at the High School. Arts and crafts once again was a main feature at the playgrounds under the watchful eye of our very talented playground supervisor Lynn Evangelos. Many people make our program run smoothly, and we would like to thank the North Andover Fire and Police Departments, Highway Department, Tree Department, Board of Public Works, the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune, W.C.C.M., and the North Andover Citizen. Respectfully submitted, William McEvoy Recreation Director 37 Schoo/Department REPORT OF THE SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE During 1983, the School Building Committee worked on three projects at the High School: 1. Quiet Areas 2. Computer Room and Science Lab 3. Acoustical improvements to Field House In our 1983 report, we stated that most of the work was done. The exception was completion of the Science Laboratory, as two more work stations were added. In February of 1984, the Science Laboratory was completed. This finished the work mandated by Articles 46, 47, and 48 of the 1983 Annual Town Meeting. Mr. Robert Nicetta resigned from the committee in 1983 and a successor has not yet been appointed. Respectfully submitted, North Andover School Building Committee Robert E. Mascola, Chairman J. Philip Arsenault Diane Batal John A. Collins Brian Donahue Alfred L. Gardiner 38 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS It is with pleasure and a sense of pride in a fine staff and student body that this annual report is presented. This report was developed from material provided by building principals and program directors which was then organized and edited by Mr. Henry Shelley, Assistant Superintendent. A special thanks goes to all those who have contributed. Enrollment Enrollment figures for October 1, 1983, compared with statistics for October 1, 1982, showed a decrease of 7 students which virtually ends a declining enrollment trend of recent years. Elementary schools showed an increase of 18 students, Middle School plus 8, and the High School enrollment decreased by 33 students. Kindergarten enrollment showed an increase of 37 students over the 1982 kindergarten class. Indications are that enrollments will be increasing for the next five years and beyond in all probability. I. Overview Prosrams and Activities A busy and productive year has maintained and in some respects enhanced our reputation as a good school system. During the year, considerable activity concerning curriculum development and in-service training took place. Great progress was achieved by the Technology and Education Committee resulting in a comprehensive three year plan for implementation of computer technology in the School System. Student performance in standardized testing and the Basic Skills Improvement Program testing was encouraging. In an analysis of SAT results grades 2-8, it can be noted that there were no tests where grade level in North Andover fell below national norm averages. In most tests the grade equivalent score was a full grade or better than the national grade level expectancy score. Basic Skills testing produced no real surprises. In the three grades tested, grade 3, 6 and 9, higher standards have been established than the state averages for communities using the same testing instrument and there was a lower number of students failing to achieve minimum standard than state averages. Time was spent establishing and implementing the athletic user fee. The revenue generated through this effort were used to insure the maintenance of a comprehensive and equitable athletic program. A"Teacher Appreciation Day" was initiated in the Spring '84 which conveyed the message that the teachers are highly regarded by administration and the public. The two full day in-service sessions were productive with excellent presentations by Dr. John Savage of Boston College and Rep. Susan Tucker. Several courses, presented locally in addition to MEC offerings, were made available to staff members. Simmons College conducted a Generic Teacher Training Program and Tufts University, Lincoln Filene Center presented a workshop entitled "The Teacher, the Child and the Law." The programs under, the direction of Mrs. Michelle Fitzpatrick, Excel, Community School, Alternative High School, and Summer School, flourished and met community needs. Channel 25, the local cablevision facility presented a variety of educational, sports, and community affairs programming during the year. Three editions of the North Andover Schools News were published during the school year. The issues were well received by the public and were a good vehicle for the dissemination of information concerning the school system. The newly created Department of Fine Arts coordinated by Mr. Joseph Aliquo functioned effectively. Many excellent culturally enriching programs were presented by visiting artists. 39 II. Elementary Schools During the year the Sony/CCC computer program was initiated in grade eight. This is a three-part program wherein all Level II% math students are exposed to computer assisted instruction on a daily basis; Level I and Level II math students are offered an introduction to the basic programming; and Level III reading students receive computer assisted instruction several times each week. The Reading Curriculum K-8 Evaluation and Development Committee developed a pilot program for School Year 1984-85 and will recommend an updated version of the reading curriculum in 1985. The Science Committee will complete a curriculum review and present a report detailing suggested revisions and modifications. The computerized Math Management Program piloted at the Thomson and Bradstreet School under the direction of Principal John Nelson proved to be very successful and will be extended to all elementary schools next year. Project Charlie had an auspicious first year, providing services for over 900 students in grades 1, 3, 5 in public schools and St. Michael's. Plans are being formulated to extend the offering to grade six students next year. III. High School (9-12) A. English Department The English Department, under the leadership of Mr. Anthony Reynolds, continues to meet the needs of our students well. A significant increase in the number of students who take A. P. examinations is a testimony to the courses that have been introduced in the last three years. Speech activities continue to thrive under the advisorship of Mr. Edward Rudd. The student newspaper, advised by Mr. Paul Gregoire, proved to be a valuable component of the department, as was the literary publication under the guidance of'Mrs. Peg Hannum. The school yearbook has enjoyed an excellent reputation over the years, and this year was no exception. Recognition is due to Mrs. Mary Julie Gregoire for her expert guidance. The yearbook has always reflected the best of our student activities in a tasteful, classic manner. B. Social Studies One of the goals of this department this past year was to continue to stress concepts and the development of intellectual skills, but in addition, give special attention to teaching students to be more discriminating in receiving current event news. This was accomplished by analyzing the important news and bringing historical perspective to it. In cooperation with the health department, units concerned with alcohol and other drugs were incorporated into grade 9 social studies classes. C. Mathematics Department Again, as in the past, over ninety percent of our students were enrolled in a math The curriculum within the department is under constant supervision, and during the past year, computer programming became a very popular choice by our students. The construction of the computer lab has been a boost to the overall effectiveness. The Math Team enjoyed a very successful season. They participated in the State ~ournament for the second straight year, and finished a respectable seventh in Division competition. D. Science Department An unusual opportunity was afforded our science teachers as the National Convention was held in Boston. This meeting gave our teachers a chance to examine new ideas in science teaching and review the latest in equipment, texts, and other materials. Mr. Robert Bennett, Department Head, reports that the new laboratory facilitated laboratory work and experiments. It was particularly helpful in the teaching of optics, as it provided space that could be darkened. In addition, it is a quiet area that the department can share. After school help and special tutorial assistance for achievement tests was continued during the past year. Through Mr. Bennett's efforts and with help from Carl Langlois, a large amount of electronic and electrical equipment was obtained from the Lincoln Laboratory without cost to the school. E. Assessment One of the more encouraging aspects of the High School program is the growth and stability that our students show in all aspects of our testing program. The Scholastic Aptitude Tests results reveal that our students rank considerably higher than their counterparts, not only in the Merrimack Valley, but also in Massachusetts, New England, and on a National scale. SAT RESULTS 1983 Verbal Math National 425 468 New England 430 465 Massachusetts 427 463 North Andover 447 500 I am particularly pleased with the fact that our scores have reflected steady growth. Fourteen members of the Class of 1984 distinguished themselves by their superior performance on the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Their names with the designation earned are listed below: Letter of Co~endation: Susan Breen, Elizabeth Duffy, Anne Duuigan, Ann Fillback, William Herrmann, Peter Killilea, Kathleen Moynihan, Lynne Newitt, Kelly Redmau, Christopher Strobel, and Joseph Torname. Finalist and Merit Scholars: William Duffy, Katie Inskeep, and Andrea Matchett Consistent with previous classes, 60% of the members of the Class of 1984 were accepted at a four-year college or university; 18% will attend a two-year college; and 22% will enter the world of work and the armed forces. F. Maintenance The construction of the four quiet areas, the science laboratory, and the computer laboratory met long-standing needs. There is no doubt that these facilities helped to enhance the educational programs of our students. 41 The improvement in the acoustics in the Memorial Fieldhouse "speaks~' for itself. Anyone who has attended games, graduation, or assembly programs in the field house is aware of the value of that investment. IV. Special Needs Department Effective September 1, 1983, Irene Fournier assumed the position of SPED Administrator. Five hundred and one students participated in a broad range of special programs and services during the 1983-B4 school year. These services including speech, occupational and physical therapy were provided by school system personnel. Psychological and diagnostic services for students and their families were provided through the Greater Lawrence Psychological Center and the Greater Lawrence Mental Health Center. North Andover is a member of the Greater Lawrence Collaborative which operates programs for severely handicapped children. If a local or collaborative program were not available to meet the ~eeds of an i~dividual child, private school placements were used. Effective September 1, 1983, the practice of having all guidance counselors in the system serve as TEAM Chairmen for special education evaluations was changed to a more centralized organization. Two counselors (one for grades K-5 and one for grades 6-12) chaired all new and all three year re-evaluations. This developed consistency and better program control but also resulted in the ability of the other counselors to provide more direct services to the total school population. In addition, agreements were negotiated with Greater Lawrence Mental Health for two full-time school psychologists/counselors to work at the elementary level and with the Greater Lawrence Psychological Center for two part-time psychologists/counselors at the middle and high school levels. Audio/Visual Department Circulation statistics showed a total of over 3,800 requests for software and over 1,400 hardware orders filled during the year in all schools. This is a substantial usage rate. An updated, computer-generated catalog has been prepared and will be available for teacher use in September 1984. VI. Cablevision Channel 25 Channel 25 enjoyed a productive year. Two series from Massachusetts Educational Television were well received. "The Art of Reading" and "Footsteps", programs dealing with parenting, were broadcast for six weeks. Basketball games were introduced during the winter season on a regular weekly basis. Needless to say, this became a very popular attraction. Other programs including school plays, town elections, public information programs and Telethons were presented as Channel 25 strived to meet the needs of the school and community. VII. Fine Arts In June of 1983, the Art and Music Departments were consolidated and encompassed within a Fine Arts Department. Joseph F. Aliquo was appointed Director of Fine Arts. In his first report as Director, Mr. Aliquo expressed satisfaction with the operation of the new department. At the elementary level, three full time teachers instruct in the general and instrumental music curriculums. The instrumental program was reinstated at the fourth grade level. The planning for elementary band and chorus was completed and implementation scheduled for September 1984. At the Middle School, one full time Music teacher and two others, whose time is shared with the High School, are responsible for general and instrumental music and band and chorus programs. Participation in extra curricular music programs at the Middle School was strong. 42 The art programs at the elementary and middle school were unchanged. The art program at the High School has been revised and a staff member added, creating a development curriculum catering to a wide range of interests. VIII. Physical Education Pro,ram Students in North Andover Public Schools received a well-structured physical education program which fully complied with Department of Education regulations. Each elementary and middle school class met twice a week for physical education. At the high school, freshmen had two physical education periods a week throughout the year. Sophomores had courses in physical education and health education. Juniors and Seniors had a half year of physical education. The physical education syllabus which recommends objectives, methods, and materials for co-ed classes ~as followed at all levels. A cumulative testing program (A.A.H.P.E.R.) was in full implementation for grades 3-12; and, in grades K-2, students were administered a standard perceptual motor test. Results, compared with national norms, were better than average. Field days were conducted on the Elementary, Middle School and High School levels. Students at all three levels were screened for the adapted physical education program. Over 50 boys and girls, K-12 participated in the adaptive physical education program. IX. Health Education Pro,ram The established health education program was augmented by the implementation of a Drug/ Alcohol Program in grades K-5 and 8-10. A state mandated postural screening program was conducted for all students in grades 5-9. The health education curriculum guide includes a wide range of health topics within a comprehensive K-12 program. X. Guidance The Guidance Department experienced many staffing and personnel changes this year. The director's position became a department chairmanship which position included a student caseload. This resulted in a staff cut of one-half a counselor. However, counselors were relieved of the special needs chair-person responsibility. System wide standardized testing, as well as the basic skills improvement testing as mandated by the State Department of Education, were completed and appropriate reports and analysis were made. XI. Libraries and IMC During the 1983-84 school year, a library skills curriculum was implemented in grades 4 and 5 and a reference skills course of study for grade 5 was developed. One of the goals for next year at the elementary level is to update and improve library reference collections. As a result of the employment of an additional library assistant, libraries this year were open more frequently. At the Middle School, gaps in the science collection of books were filled through the cooperative effort of the librarian and science teachers. The library facility of the Middle School needs painting, new furniture, and more books appropriate to a Middle School. A. Instructional Materials Center Just over a year ago the management of our library program was given to two professionals who shared the responsibilities of a master librarian. The service that they, along with their aides, have provided our students and teachers has been superb. 43 During the past year, many of the tasks formerly performed through tedious time-consuming processes have been computerized. A proposal was written and funded by the Stevens Foundation, that will enable the High School to subscribe to the Merrimack Valley Library Consortium. XII. Business Services A. Transportation The ma~or housing developments are in the Kittredge and Franklin School Districts, putting a stress on capacity of those buildings. This also affects busing by creating a need for a system of transfer Buses. Most people who move into the Franklin-Kittredge School area during this next year will be sending their children to other schools. An ad hoc committee of parents, teachers, and administration will Be examining existing school Boundaries and making recommendations for change to the School Committee. There were two minor accidents during the school year involving school buses. There were no injuries. B, BuildingMaintenance Three major building projects were out for bid under the administration of the School Building Committee. The projects were, Acoustics - Field House, Science Lab and Computer Room and Quiet Areas. Ail projects have been completed. The roof over the wing at the Franklin School is in poor condition. At least three areas of major difficulty exist, and the replacement of the roof over the older section of the huii~ing is required. The replacement request will be made at the 1985-86 Town Meeting. Town Meeting passed a $150,000 article for general building refurbishment. The article funded new windows and doors at the Bradstreet and Thomson Schools, and new oil burners, furniture, refurbishing of heating controls for the Middle School. A request for a new track did not survive Town Meeting, but it is planned to resubmit this article in 1985. Ail oil burners were overhauled, adjusted and lubricated and two custodians spent the summer painting those areas most in need. C. Energy Oil consumption has been reduced over the last 8 years from 4400 barrels to 3000 barrels. Electric consumption at the High School during this same period has been reduced from 3.8 millionKWH to 2.1 million lCWl{. When translated to dollars, this calculates to an average saving of $113~386 per year and a total savings of $794,000. During the 1983-84 school year, the electric company decided to refurbish their coal-fired generators. During this period, oil-fired generators were used resulting in higher fuel charges, estimated at $16,000 for the year. A micro-computer Baa been installed in the high' school to control the heat.. This installation replaces the Honeywell BOSS system which cost the School Department $9,000 annually. D. Food Service Mr, Owen Morris, Food Service Supervisor, retired after 10 years of service. The staff wish him well in retirement and express their appreciation for his many contributions. His successor is Mr. Richard Poutenis.

The annual report and legal notice were posted in compliance with Section 37, Chapter 98, of the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Sealer's report is relative to inspections, reweighing, and measuring devices of various types which were tested, adjusted, and sealed. Legal fees amounting to $1,261.00 were issued. $1,026.00 was turned into the Town Treasurer. Outstanding fees amounting to $235.00 will be credited to the 1985 fiscal year. The Department wishes to thank all those concerned for their cooperation and courtesies during the past year. Respectfully submitted, Ernest J. Roberts Sealer of Weights and Measures Stevens Memorial Library TO the citizens of North Andover, Massachusetts: The Trustees of the Stevens Memorial Library herewith present their 76th report which is for the twelve-month period, July 1, 1983, to June 30, 1984. To the Trustees of the Stevens Memorial Library: I hereby submit the 75th report of~ the Director. Library Statistics Circulation Collection FY 83 FY 84 FY 83 FY 84 Adult 76,723 72,381 43,772 44,696 Juvenile 35,597 33,901 13,I90 13,922 Inter-Library Loan 470 289 1,434 1,399 Museum Passes 181 174 112,9711 106,7451 58,4052 60,0172 (1) Does not include exhibits, programs, story hours, reference services, and in-house use. (2) Does not include magazines, pamphlets, maps, puzzles, art prints, and most paperbacks. Adult programming this past year included a six-week program on coping with death and dying, five separate investment programs, classes on oriental rug making and Japanese Bunks (run by Essex Institute), three programs on fashion and cosmetics, and a program on CPR conducted by the North Andover Fire Department. Our exhibit space was well used this past year with over fourteen local artists and collectors sharing their arts, crafts, and hobbies. The library continues to be open seven days per week, September through June, and five days a week in July and August. On average, we circulate over five books per capita at an average value of over $100 per person. With the introduction of our computer library card this last year, which will be good in most of the public libraries in the valley, it has been reported to me that an average of 2,000 items per month are circulated from the Andover Library to North Andover residents. We have also seen Andover residents use our facilities, as well as a number of Lawrence and Middleton residents. The meeting room, which is available free of charge to any non-profit group, was used an average of twenty times per month. We continue to provide passes to the Museum of Fine Arts, and thanks to the North Andover Women's Club, we were able to reinstitute the family pass to the Museum of Science. This past summer we were also able to introduce a family pass for a series of walking tours of Boston called Boston by Foot. The Childrens Library was active this past year running their pre-school story hours, hosting school vacation programs, running a very original Medieval summer reading program, hosting school visits, and providing attractive and timely displays. During the year, the Library received many donations for memorial books. Many of these donations have helped build our collection of large print books and have been marked with a suitable book plate. 57 For the past two years, the library staff has increasingly devoted more of their time toward automating the various library collections for our new circulation system. By the time this report is published, we will have gone on-line. This new circulation system ties the Stevens Memorial Library into a thirteen number member library system. It keeps track of overdue materials, fines, and reserves. With this new system we can quickly determine whether a book is on the shelf in our library (or the other libraries) or when it is due back. I wish to thank the staff for all their hard work and dedication in getting this new system operational. Russell J. Reeve, Director During the year, the Board continued to guide the investments and expenditures of endowed funds and oversee the upkeep of the library. The Board also studied several reports from the Director and has formally requested future Town support for a library expansion. The library shelves are filled to capacity, the seating and reading spaces are far too few for a community of our size, and the Childrens Room is simply too small. The Trustees would like to note the addition of Joanne Stevens to the Board. We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the library staff for their faithful service and dedication.

At the beginning of this fiscal year, July 1, 1983, the outstanding long-term debt was $3,865,000, and at the end of the fiscal year, $3,210,000. This represents a payout of $655,000.

Dewhirst Town Treasurer 62 Tree Department Spraying operations for Tent Caterpillars, elm leaf beetle, and other pests covered under Chapter 132 of the General Laws returned to normal with the predicted decline of the gypsy moths. Observations in surrounding towns that chose not to spray the gypsy moths since their return in 1980 revealed large numbers of dead trees. Our Town, with a controlled spraying program compared favorably with a relatively small number of dead trees. The usual program of maintaining our public shade trees was carried out and many diseased elm trees and dead maples were removed or trimmed during the year. Other requests for services such as removing low hanging limbs and tree planting were performed where necessary. The Tree Department assisted the Highway Department in snow removal operations and in the removal of a large number of trees on Summer Street and other locations in Town for road widening purposes due to the extensive development in Town. The North Andover Improvement Society again deserves a vote of thanks for the contribution to the Arbor Day purchase of one thousand Concolor Fir seedlings which were packaged by the Tree Department and distributed to fourth and fifth grade students.
