HomeMy WebLinkAbout1983 This year, like all years, has been one of triumph and tribulation for the Town of North Andover. We think the triumphs far outnumber the tribulations. Through extensive and lengthy interviews, we were able to hire John Bohenko as Executive Secretary and Richard IR)mas who now heads the very active Community Development Office. This was the year we elected Christine Smith as North Andover's first woman Selectman. It was a year of new sewers and the much used and enjoyed sidewalks around the old center common. It was also a year of "new growth" and development in the form of homes and new business. We are proud of our school system as it continues to send into the world well prepared young men and women, who excell in sports and academics. We are indeed fortunate to have police and fire departments of such professional quality. These men and women often go beyond "duty" to serve the people of North Andover. Our Recreation Department has had another fine year providing well supervised activities for our children and Stevens Pond continues to be a well loved resource used by the young and old. Organizations and individual efforts continue to make a strong impact on our Town. Without this involvement and spirit, we would not feel the excitement in the air as we watch the Senior Citizen Center nearing completion and hear of and envision the redevelopment of the downtown area. Without the effort and commitment of the whole community, we would not be able to take such well deserved pride in 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 and to Karen Robertson for her technical assistance. We would also like to thank Gayton Osgood for supplying the photos in this year's report. TOWN REPORT COMMITTEE Lois Cushing Ida Harwood Margaret Lawlor Daniel Long Martha Salisbury Brenda Warren Board of Selectmen The Board started off 1983 with a reorganization meeting at which time Charles A. Salisbury was elected Chairman, John W. Graham was elected Chairman of the Licensing Commissioners and Ralph R. Joyce, Esq., was elected Clerk of both boards. Throughout the year, the Selectmen made a number of appointments to various Town committees. The Selectmen welcomed a new member, Christine M. Smith, to the Board and thanked R. Louis DiFruscio for his hard work while serving as a Selectman. Several Town positions were filled during the year. After serving the Town as Executive Secretary for six and one-half years, Brian F. Sullivan resigned to take a position as Deputy Executive Secretary for the Town of Brookline. The Board would like to commend Brian for his many years of dedication and hard work. The Selectmen, with the invaluable assistance of the Executive Secretary Search Committee, reviewed over 100 applications for the position of Executive Secretary. John P. Bohenko, who served as Assistant to the Mayor in East Hartford, Connecticut, was hired and began his work at the Town offices on June first. Lieutenant Edward T. Sullivan was appointed head of the Town's Police Department as the Chief after Acting Police Chief Russell Donnelly retired, During the time Chief Donnelly served the community, he performed in a professional and caring manner. Also, in the Police Department, the Selectmen appointed a new lieutenant, two new sargeants, three new full-time permanent police officers, and six permanent reserve police officers. The Board added three new staff members to the Community Development Office during the year. Richard K. Domas is hard at work in his new position as the Director of Community Development. In order to administer the Housing Rehabilitation portion of the Small Cities Block Grant Program, Joseph Satlak was hired as Housing Manager and Joseph Rajewski was hired as Housing Rehabilitation Specialist. As the year progressed to a close, Ralph R.. Joyce, Esq. resigned his position on the Board. The Selectmen commend Ralph on his six years of service as a Selectman and wish him well in his future endeavors. During the past year, increasing responsibilities were placed on the Selectmen's Office through new federal, state and local legislation which has required a greater commitment of time and effort on the part of each Selectman and their Executive Secretary. In addition to regular weekly meetings, numerous work sessions were held throughout the year. In addition to Selectmen's meetings, the day-to-day administrative tasks of the Selectmen's Office include: maintenance of Town buildings, awarding of contracts, approving payment of bills, issuing licenses, defending suits against the Town, administration of insurance programs, preparation of jury lists, appointments of committees and processing citizens' complaints. Additional highlights of an active Selectmen's calendar include: o Development and approval of the Town's Affirmative Action Plan and Fair Housing Plan. o Negotiated contract settlements with the Fire Union and Public Works Union. o Construction underway for the new Senior Citizens' Center and Municipal Parking Lot. Total project cost will be $562,500 which is funded through Community Development Block Grant funds. Extension of the Town's Housing Rehabilitation Grant. Work under this grant includes bringing housing units up to present day building code requirements and improvements to elderly housing complexes. Initiation of a traffic study regarding the feasibility of an access road to the Davis and Furber complex. Study funded through the Community Development Block Grant Program. Planning and design initiated for major improvements to the Town's Central Business District. o Completion of electrical rewiring of the Town Office Building. o Approval of a $197 million industrial revenue bond issue for the construction of the North East Resource Recovery plant located in North Andover. The Licensing Commissioners issued 110 licenses during the year. Ownership of the Holt Road sanitary landfill was transferred to the Commonwealth. In conclusion, the Board would like to express its deep appreciation and thanks to our state officials, Town committees, department heads and employees. We would also like to recognize our administrator, John P. Bohenko and our secretaries, Alice M. Letarte, Karen A. Robertson, and Catherine J. Foley for their assistance during the year. Respectfully submitted, Charles A. Salisbury, Chairman John W. Graham Ralph R. Joyce, Esq. Thomas J. McEvoy Christine M. Smith John P. Bohenko, Executive Secretary Advisory 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 these departments and committees are faced with unforseen expenditures that can not be paid for out of their respective budgets for any one of the numerous reasons. For fiscal 1983, Town Meeting approval set this fund at $139,000.00. During the course of its administration of this fund, the Advisory Board approved transfers totalling $138,872.07: the balance of this fund, $127.93, went to the Town's general fund. By way of comparison, in fiscal 1982, the Advisory Board approved transfers out of the reserve fund in the amount of $239,619.33. The Advisory Board sponsored Article 113 that was on the Warrant for the April 23, 1983, Annual Town Meeting. This article was overwhelmingly passed, and the effect of this article is to require the Assessors to utilize all "new growth" in calculating the total taxes assessed for any fiscal year in accordance with General Laws Chapter 59, Section 2lC(f). The purpose of th~s article was to soften the domino effect of Proposition 2 1/2 on the Town's ability to keep up with the ever-increasing costs of government. The Advisory Board met approximately sixty times between September, 1982, and April, 1983, and met an additional seven times between April 23, 1983, and the close of the fiscal year. The men and women who serve on the Advisory Board receive no compensation for their services rendered to the Town, as the Board is a voluntary agency of the Town in its truest sense. The Board has a secretary who attends all its meetings, and she is a vital force insuring not only the success of the functions of the Board, but also the coalition of facts, figures, and recommendations that are published and mailed to the residents of the Town in the Advisory Board's Warrant Report. The Advisory Board would like to thank Selectman Charles A. Salisbury for the contribution of his personal time and energy during the past year that was occasioned by the resignation of the Board of Selectmen's Executive Secretary. His efforts not only assisted the Advisory Board in its deliberations and recommendations, but he also served the Town's interests, unselfishly, during a period of time when the Town was without the services of the Selectmen's Executive Secretary.

Animal Inspector The report of the Animal Inspector is as follows: 41 farms and premises owning large animals inspected and health certificates issued. 6 dogs quarantined as rabies suspects. 5 certificates issued for importation of dairy cows. Respectfully submitted, Robert E. Atwood, DVM Animal Inspector Appeals, Board of The Board of Appeals had an active year conducting 11 regular and 3 special meetings. Petitions filed for variances, special permits, and parties aggrieved numbered 57, and following presentations to the Board at public hearings, 38 were granted, 17 were denied, and 2 were withdrawn. The majority of the requests were for setback, frontage, and area variances. A variety of others were requests for a heliport, conversions to multi-family dwellings, and for family suites or "in-law" apartments. Public hearings were customarily held on the second Monday of each month in the Town O~fice Meeting Room unless otherwise advertised due to displacement by Monday holidays. The Board would like to express Charles Foster, for his professional meetings and on a daily basis. its thanks to the Building Inspector, assistance provided both at our monthly Respectfully submitted, Frank Serio, Jr., Chairman Alfred E.

Foster, Inspector of Buildings John J. Thompson, Electrical Inspector Edward J. Scanlon, Gas Inspector Civil Defense I hereby submit my twelfth annual report as Civil Defense Director of the Town of North Andover for the period through June, 1983. Following are some of the highlights for this reporting period: Our 1983 program paper was approved by the Mass. Civil Defense Agency. This continues our eligibility to participate in all surplus property programs and includes reimbursement by Federal Matching Funds of one-half of ali Civil Defense salaries and administrative expenses. Due to austerity programs, we were not able to avail ourselves of any grant money from local industry to be used in the procurement of a repeater to enhance our communications capability. However, by diligent financial management and thanks to the efforts of our newly appointed Communications Officer, Joseph Sullivan, Jr., we have been procuring our repeater on a modular basis (i.e. basic repeater, controller, cavities, and duplexers, accessories, emergency power switchover, etc.). By late fall of 1983, we hope to have our repeater operational finally giving us a dedicated 24 hour communications capability in event of emergencies. We pride ourselves on meeting this equipment requirement within our limited budgetary resources with no outside financial assistance. Mr. Benjamin Farnum has kindly offered us the utilization of space for our repeater on Boston Hill at the former MITRE/Air Force site. This will provide us with an ideal equipment and antenna location at the highest point in this area, assuring us of line of sight communications with no obstructions. We plan to avail ourselves of Mr. Farnum's kind offer and wish to thank him publicly for his civic mindedness and cooperation to enhance our communications posture. Our Auxiliary Police, under the leadership of Sgt. R. Dennis Dionne, have provided the community with over 1,000 hours of voluntary service this last year. They continue to provide a vandalism patrol of all our Town public schools, playgrounds, and other Town facilities. At the discretion of the Police Chief and under the auspices of the regular department, they render support in crowd control during all scheduled parades, road races, blke-a-thons, Halloween patrols, etc. They maintain proficiency by annually scheduling training courses in first aid, water safety, vehicular extrication, firearms safety, and other related subject. At this time we wish to offer Police Chief Russell Donnelly our sincere best wishes in his retirement, and we offer our thanks for all the support he has extended to the Auxiliary Police. In the same vein, we extend our congratulations to the newly appointed Police Chief, Mr. Edward Sullivan, and look forward to a happy association such as we have enjoyed with his predecessor. Our Emergency Operating Center (EOC) has been completely updated, but we will still not be able to avail ourselves of it until the completion of the Senior Center which will be butted to the Civil Defense side of the Town Building, and we will be utilizing a common entry to gain access to both the Senior Center and the Civil Defense EOC. Full utilization of our EOC is expected to take place approximately in the winter of 1984. Upon completion of the Senior Center, we will again commence to exercise all our communications equipment in the EOC on a weekly basis. We are currently operating our weekly communications checks, including state and local Civil Defense nets, from our homes. We are happy to report that our communications proficiency is being maintained. The following are the current members of the RACES Communications group: Communications Officer Joseph Sullivan, Jr., William Sherlock, Carleton Wilson, Douglas Wilson, Richard Slade, Leonard Somers, Gerald Rowen, David Upton, Joseph Demers, and Edwin Adams. CB'ers Joseph Whitehead and Ernest Harvey. In Memoriam We were deeply saddened at the loss of Mr. Ridgely Underwood, Communications Officer of the North Andover Civil Defense RACES group, throughout the tenure of the undersigned. Ridge had been affiliated with the RACES operation for over 20 years and was a tower of strength during some critical periods of its growth. His wide communications will be badly missed. We will also miss him as a very decent individual and a personal friend. Our Auxiliary Police group members remain very busy with a fairly heavy schedule under the command of Sgt. R. Dennis Dionne: Executive Officer Ernest Harvey, Patrolmen Carl Wagoner, Michael J. Twomey, Jr., Hilton P. Cormey, John J. Zaccari, Joseph R. Hamman, Joseph Sullivan, Jr., Richard C. Boettcher, and Eileen Burns. We continue our recruitment efforts for a select group of volunteers willing to serve the North Andover community in either the Communications or Auxiliary Police fields or as a Civil Defense Staff Officer. The communicators must hold a valid Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Radio Amateur license, and the Auxiliary Police volunteers must be over 21 years of age. All applicants will be considered regardless of sex, race, or creed. We welcome any suggestions that will make our group more responsive to emergency situations. A call to the undersigned or any member of our group may be utilized to effect the necessary contact. I wish to take this opportunity to thank the Radio Emergency Associated Citizens Team (REACT) Methuen Team 2771. This dedicated group of volunteers are always ready to assist in response to calls for assistance for local causes. I highly commend the attitude of these individuals. Finally, I am well aware that without the cooperation of our Civil Defense volunteers and all the Town department heads and their staffs, the services we are able to contribute to the community would be very limited. I wish to call attention to some of the individuals who have lent us support during this reporting period. These names do not necessarily reflect all of the individuals who assist us tremendously in our day-to-day activities: The Honorable Board of Selectmen, Advisory Board, Police Chief Russell Donnelly, Fire Chief William V. Dolan, all Town department heads, and their respective staffs. Also, Communications Officer Joseph Sullivan, Jr. and all members of the RACES group, Sgt. R. Dennis Dionne and the Auxiliary Police volunteers, and last but not least, my stalwart Deputy Director John Lyons for his endless support. Respectfully submitted, John J. Coco Civil Defense Director, North Andover Conservation Commission The North Andover Conservation Commission, once again, reports an active and busy year in fiscal 1983. The greatest portion of our time was spent administering the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' and the Town of North Andovers' Wetlands Protection laws. The work load has become such that in some near future year, the Town should consider appointing a full-time conservation officer to administer the daily requirements of the Commission. In fiscal 1983, the Commission received 38 Notices of Intents and 11 Requests for Determination and as many public hearings were held. 38 Orders of Condition were issued, numerous Orders extended, and a great many Compliances issued. In addition, the Commission held a great many site visits and held numerous sub-committee meetings and work sessions. On April t, 1983, the Commonwealth's new regulations governing wetlands went into effect. In preparation for this, most Commissioners attended work sessions held in various locations throughout the Commonwealth. These sessions were held as all-day sessions or over the course of several evenings. The sessions were held to explain the complexities of the changes in the wetlands regulations. In summary, the Commission's year has been full and active. The Commission thanks you for your support, past, present, and future.

Appreciably extended life can be expected due to this action, and we invite you to drop by Station 2 to see what your money has accomplished. After more than 30 years of service to the Town of North Andover as both a call and permanent firefighter, Henry Martin retired from the force on April 30, 1983. A new position was added to the department as a result of Town Meeting, and we now have a minimum of four men on duty at Station 2 during weekdays. the The department acted as host for a Fire Prevention Course conducted by Mass. Fire Academy for area firefighters in February. We have also been active in sponsoring courses for the general public. Seminars in wood stove safety at the Main Street Station and courses in Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation at the library have been well attended. The smoke detector legislation which was accepted by the Town has been a major project for the department, and we plan to sponsor seminars to assist the townspeople in complying with the law as well as learning the value of these early warning devices. 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. Respectfully submitted, William V. Dolan, Chief Dana N. Fisher, 1st Engineer John J. McGuire, Jr., 2nd Engineer 12 Greater Lawrence Sanitary District Introduction The Greater Lawrence Sanitary District Wastewater Treatment Facility continued to provide service to residential, commercial, and industrial users in 1982. Since its initial operation in April, 1977, the facility has treated more than 57 billion gallons of wastewater that was previously discharged, untreated, into the Merrimack River. During 1982, the average flow through the plant was 31.06 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 1982, Lawrence's average daily flow amounted to 17.29 million gallons per day (55.68%), Methuen's was 7.24 million gallons per day (23.30%), Andover's was 3.88 million gallons per day (12.488), and North Andover's was 2.65 million gallons per day (8.54%). These percentages are used to establish the annual assessment for each community, e.g. North Andover will pay 8.54% of the total operation and maintenance costs of the District. The plant is currently staffed by 62 people. The operation is continuous 24 hours per day and 365 days per year. The District Commission meets monthly to address policy matters. Operations and Maintenance In 1982, the approximately 6,500 tons of solids were removed from the wastewater, dewatered, and incinerated to a sterile ash. The power requirement for pumping and treating the wastes amounted to 11.5 million KWH or $716,000. The plant effluent was treated with 135 tons of chlorine 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 25 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, and 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, and Lowell are used to reduce the operating budget and assessment to District member communities. Special Projects The belt filter press installed in 1981 produced savings in fuel for incineration and power required by sludge dewatering equipment. It is estimated that $166,000 was saved as a result of installation of the belt filter press. This annual savings will increase each year as the cost of energy escalates. The second major energy conservation project undertaken in 1982 was the installation of a hydroelectric generator in the plant's outfall structure. This generator will recover 1 million kilowatt hours of power from the plant's effluent each year and reduce the amount purchased from the utility by $70,000. The generator was delivered at the end of the year and construction of the equipment powerhouse started at the same time. Operation should commence in the fall of 1983. 13 An Agreement was signed on August 10, 1982, with the Town of Salem, New Hampshire, which will provide for the treatment and disposal of Salem's wastewater at the District's facility. The District will have to construct an interceptor through Lawrence and Methuen to accomplish the tie-in. The District communities benefit by having Salem share in the fixed operation and maintenance costs and share in the debt service. The agreement represents an achievement in cooperation between two states and five communities. Financial Manggement The District continues to be successful in managing finances to keep the local assessments down in spite of increases in the cost of doing business. For the fourth 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 Although it becomes increasingly difficult to keep costs down, the District will continue to pursue this goal and rel~ 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 Highway Department Workers -- Edwin Littlefield; Philip Long; William A. Cyr, Highway Surveyor; Donald Williams in backhoe 14 Health, Board of The Board of Health continues to monitor the implementation of the rules and regulations as set forth in the Sanitary Code of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This code includes minimum standard for food service establishments, installation of septic systems, beach and swimming facilities, plumDing, recreational camps, and fitness of dwellings for human habitation. In several instances, this Board has prescribed stricter minimum standards regulating these functions than are required by the state code. Community Health Our October, 1982, influenza immunization clinic had the largest number of participants in the last several years. A total of 871 people received the vaccine provided by the State Health Department and administered under the direction of this Board. We function with a limited staff and are ever grateful to the volunteer nurses and clerical helpers that assist in this procedure each year. The vaccine for this winter contains the new strain of flu virus, A. Philippine, and is strongly recommended for those 60 years of age or older and for all persons with a chronic illness regardless of age. The Bangkok strain caused nearly all the outbreaks in nursing homes and hospitals, whereas, the milder Brazil strain was associated principally with school outbreaks which occurred late in the season. Pneumococcal vaccine is available through private physicians and may be administered at the same time as influenza vaccine. Under laws passed by Congress, pneumococcal vaccine may be administered by private physicians to Medicare recipients and charged to Medicare after June 30, 1981. Our public health nurse checks each month on all reported communicable diseases, particularly those with active or arrested tuberculosis and persons known to have contact with the disease in this or any other Town. All these persons must report on a regular basis to a physician or to the local clinic. Therapeutic drugs are available for those who need them and are dispensed by the pharmacy of the Lawrence General Hospital upon request of the local clinic. All services relating to tuberculosis, including X-rays, provided through this Board are free of charge. Ail vaccines and testing kits are made available, free of charge, to all local physicians by this Board. Communicable diseases should be reported either by the attending physician or the patient so that proper statistics can be reported to the State Health Records Department. Our nurse will be available for all follow-up work on any reported disease. Our nurse makes home visits to prematurely born infants to check on their progress after leaving the hospital. There were six such babies this past year in our Town. Environmental Health Lessening of economic pressures in the building trades has resulted in an increase in home building in this past year. For this period, 171 soil tests were witnessed for the installation of subsurface sewerage disposal systems on land not serviced by our public sewer system. Approximately 85% of all new building occurs in unsewered areas. 15 The need for much closer supervision of septic installations has been apparent for some time, and this year the Board welcomed the arrival of our first full-time sanitary inspector. Funds were made available in January, 1983, and in just six months, daily supervision and strict enforcement of the regulations of Title V of the State Sanitary Code have shown marked improvements in this phase of our operations. The increase in building has been reflected in the increase in plumbing permits. Permits issued only to licensed plumbers are required by law on all new installations and all repair jobs. Every home owner contracting for plumbing services should insist on a licensed plumber and proper permits issued by this Board in order to be assured of quality work and adherence to state rules and regulations. Without permits, work is not inspected by our local plumbing inspector. Food service establishments are checked monthly by our registered sanitarian. Storage areas are checked and bacterial counts are taken on utensils. Dairy products on display are watched closely for expiration dates, and quality samples are done on a random basis among various stores. The State Health Department has been emphasizing its enforcement of Article 2 of the Sanitary Code which deals with dwellings fit for human habitation, and the number of requested inspections has increased. Tenant complaints must be presented in writing before an inspector is sent out. Many complaints stem from legal arguments between tenants and landlords, and absentee landlords create a problem in any quick solution of complaints. Licenses are issued by this Board for public and semi-public swimming pools. Inspections are made during the swimming season. Private home pools are not licensed or inspected. Water samples are collected by the water analyst of the Public Works Department, tested in their lab, and reports forwarded to this Board. Particular attention is paid to the testing and inspection of our Town beach, Stevens Pond. The refreshment stand open for the summer season is also inspected by our sanitarian. The Board licensed several sport recreational training camps at private schools in Town this summer. The facilities required several inspections during the season relative to safety conditions, food service, and living arrangements. The necessary permits for all the above-stated activities issued by this Board resulted in a total collection of $20,607.00 deposited with the Town Treasurer.

Respectfully submitted, William A. Cyr Highway Surveyor Historical Commission The efforts of the Historical Commission this year have been directed toward the production of a historical brochure of North Andover. The focus of the brochure is a walking tour of the National Historic Districts, the Old Center, and the Machine Shop Village. A number of architecturally notable structures have been added to the Town-wide Historical Inventory. The public is invited to utilize the inventory documents located in the Stevens Memorial Library. The Commission received requests for, and supplied data on, the Stone Warehouse, Cato's Corner, the Swarm House, and outdoor monuments in Town. The Historical Commission has worked in conjunction with the Community Development Department in their planned improvements in the Machine Shop Village area. Respectfully submitted, Louisa M. King, Chairman Anna C. Howes Maria Ward Martha Larson Caroline L. Cole Kathleen Szyska Mary S. Hart 18 Housing Authority As Executive Director, I am pleased to submit, on behalf of the North Andover Housing Authority Board of Directors and its Chairwoman, Anna P. O'Connor, the Authority's 35th Annual Report for fiscal year ending September 30, 1983. This report has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 12lB of the General Laws 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 veteran's 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. An Annual Contribution Contract has been executed with the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). 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 purpose of meeting the housing needs of our community. It offers North Andover resident families, in need of housing or housing assistance, a choice of residence among virtually every apartment that qualifies within the Housing Code Guidelines and Fair Market Rental guidelines. The success of this program is greatly dependent upon the support of our local landlords, which I am pleased to report have been very cooperative. The Authority is further committed to aid in remedying the financial burden of housing for our residents. As of the publication of this report, the Authority has a pending application with HUD for the financial resources to fund an additional 36 units of Section 8. This fall, the Authority celebrated its first full year at Morkeski Meadows. The specific housing objective of this development was founded on our basic philosphy that the overall housing development would achieve innovative and creative architectural treatment, with high quality construction techniques, to be located so as to enhance the particular neighborhood. Our first year has passed with no major problems, nor are any anticipated. 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 Offices 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 of the tenant, as well as energy efficiency and cost saving to the Housing Authority. Listed below the reader will find a breakdown of funding as received by each of the agencies: Modernization Funding Received - 1982 Project State C.D.

The Authority will continue to endeavor to maintain its housing developments, which will insure the future integrity in a manner to which the Town has become accustomed as evidenced by the ambitious modernization program undertaken in the fiscal year ending 1984. The Authority was deeply saddened by the loss of our long-time board member, Thomas Foulds, who passed away this past year. Mr. Foulds was a board member for over 25 years of continuous service and was a member during the construction of all five of our elderly housing developments. Mr. Foulds was honored by our community and the Authority in 1972, when they named Foulds Terrace after him. Through public election held in March of 1983, Mr. Foulds nephew, Foulds, was elected to serve the rest of his unexpired term. Donald 20 The Housing Authority expresses its sincere appreciation to Town departments and 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.

Morkeski Donald Foulds Housing Authorih/Workers -- Joseph Walsh, B~b Bouchard, Walter Pawlick 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 presented nine (9) articles at the Annual Town Meeting. These articles dealt with cost-of-living adjustments, the elimination of the title Call Fire Captain, the addition of a new section to the By-Law entitled Retirement, and the amending of the Vacation Section of the By-Law. During fiscal year 1983, the Personnel Board also contracted with the Massachusetts Municipal Association to conduct a compensation and classification study in accordance with an article passed at the 1982 Annual Town Meeting. The resulting compensation and classification plan is being further refined during fiscal year 1984 for future consideration by the Town. In addition, the Board plans to conduct a thorough review of the Personnel By-Law during fiscal year 1984. The Board holds one to three meetings per month. These meetings are open to the public and are posted in Town Hall at least two days in advance with time and location indicated. Respectfully submitted, Ruth E. Iannazzo, Chairperson Anna Foster Virginia Johansen Roland Korb Curtiss Wakeman Nancy Stevenson, Secretary 22 Planning Board The Planning Board has completed another active year, conducting 22 regular meetings and 1 special meeting, as well as several "on-site" meetings for a variety of proposals. During the year, the Board held 45 public hearings, 36 of which were held prior to the Annual and Special Town Meetings concerning proposed changes and amendments to the Town's Zoning By Law and zoning map. As the result of the formation of a special committee charged with studying the Zoning By Law, several revisions and additions were made to our By-Law resulting in a more consistent, easy-to-read text. In addition to the many changes made to the Zoning By Law, the Board amended their Rules and Regulations Governing the Subdivision of Land to include a Flood Hazard Avoidance section. The remaining public hearings were held for requests for special permits to allow construction within the Watershed, a common driveway, and the conversion of Campion Hall, now known as Hardtcourt Manor, into 24 condominium units. Of the 6 requests for special permits to construct within the Watershed, 5 were granted and 1 was denied by the Board. The common driveway request was withdrawn prior to action being taken. The conversion of Campion Hall into condominium units was granted by the Planning Board, but this decision has been appealed to the courts. 2 preliminary plans for subdivisions were submitted to the Board resulting in the approval of one and the denial of the other. Although no definitive subdivision plans were submitted to the Board during the year, the Town's largest development to date, known as "Bear Hill" and consisting of 127 acres subdivided into 86 lots, was approved following several months of discussions and reviews by the Board. Attorney John A. James. Jr. was appointed to the Board in June, replacing Member Walter R. McDonough. The Board takes this opportunity to welcome Mr. James and to thank Mr. McDonough for his service on the Board. Our Board continues to be staffed by a full-time Town Planner and a secretary, and we thank them for their continued assistance both at Board meetings and on a daily basis. part-time Planning Our meetings continue to be well attended by the citizens of North Andover, 'and we again 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, Esq., Chairman Michael P.

The Recreation Department began the year with ice skating on Sunday evenings at the Brooks School skating rink. The children enjoyed the ice skating for 2 hours every Sunday evening. During the school vacations of December and February, the ice was available the whole week with the children being bussed to the rink. The season ended the last Sunday in February. This past year was one of the most successful in recent years. Summer brought the second phase of the Recreation Department. Playgrounds opened June 28 with a registration of 405 children. The Town provides 7 playgrounds at various locations of the Town~ all playgrounds have 2 instructors assigned to them. The program consists of many events which are for the most part, free. Every week the playgrounds follow a planned, yet flexible, schedule. Sports including kickball, softball, volleyball, basketball, and a field day as main events. Twice a week the children had art with a variety of projects. Special events, field trips, and special visitors were scheduled weekly. Once a week there was an Instructors Day when the instructors of each park planned an event for their playground. The playgrounds of 1983 offered a great variety of events. The old, but loved, activities included going to Hampton Beach, racing down the alpine slide at Boston Hill, competing at Field Day, enjoying Canobie Lake Park, getting a hole-in-one at miniature golf, stuffing oneself with a super ice cream sundae, and the traditional cookout at the end of the summer with games, food, and swimming. The new events were also a great success. The program has tried to expose the children to new ideas and activities for enrichment and fun. The festival on the common this year was tremendous. On stage was a puppet show, a clown act, and a magician all opened to the public free of charge. The instructors ran the booths of games, food, and face painting. Another week we welcomed a storyteller, Judith Black: she sparked the attention and imagination of all. A man with a spectacular live bird collection also dazzled the audience. Dick Lucius brought with him a great horned owl, two falcons, a golden eagle, and a red tailed hawk. Pontine Mime visited the Recreation Department and demonstrated the art of mime while the audience participated. The everyday events of sports and art played a major role in the summer program. Throughout the 8 weeks, there was an ongoing softball compet~.tion. Grogans won the championship as they did last year. Art introduced many new ideas from using theatrical make up, sand painting, clay modeling, puppetry, to geometric designs. Accompanied with all these events are the usual fun and games, water balloon fights, bike rides, hikes, picnics, scavenger hunts, and talent shows. The summer of 1983 was a very hot one, and this effected the attendence on some days during the summer. We plan a very fun-packed summer in 1984 and hope to have all the kids in Town attend. The evening programs during the summer were packed with activities. We have a 16-team men's softball league - play starts in early May and ends in September. A 10-team women's softball league starts the same time and ends with playoffs in late August. A total of 250 men played in the men's league, and 150 women played in the women's softball league. A girls softball program for girls 8 to 13 years old is held with the girls playing 2 nights a week - 1 league playing Monday and Wednesday, and the older girls playing Tuesday and Thursday. We have 2 pony baseball leagues, both are made up of 4 teams - 1 league is for boys 13 years old, and the other league is for boys 14 and 15 years old. 32 Tennis was a popular program th~s year as we had tennis round robins every Tuesday and Thursday nights and held a junior tourney in July, a Town tourney in early August, and an open tourney in late August. We of the Recreation Department would llke to thank the Fire Department, Police Department, Board of Public Works, Highway Department, Tree Department, W.C.C.M., and the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune for their help during the year. Respectfully submitted, William McEvoy Recreation Director Dan Battle of J.J. Flynn Assoc. and MichaeJ Rosati. Sanitary Eng neet 33 SCHOOL COMMITTEE Members of the North Andover Community: The challenge the School Committee continues to face is providing excellence in education under increasing financial constraints, In a thorough and open budget process, the Committee examined a number of fiscal alternatives that would have to be taken, yet maintain quality programs. Music and Art were re-organized into a Fine Arts Program and certain Guidance and Special Needs functions were put under the coordination of a single administrator. User fees for athletic programs were implemented and a new grouping plan was used at the Middle School, resulting in a more effective placement of students. Much needed improvements were made in the facilities at the High School. The Field House acoustics were dramatically improved; a computer lab and an additional science lab were built and "quiet areas" were constructed for use in each of the academic areas. Joseph Guthrie, a valued and dedicated long-standing member of the School Committee, moved from Town and resigned his seat. His services to the Community will be missed. Former member, Richard Haltmaier, agreed to serve on the Committee for the interim period and his contribution has been invaluable. The School Committee's goal is educational excellence. Every effort is made to maintain high standards, offer quality curricula, and provide competent staff and adequate resources. James P. Gordon, Chairman Mark S. DiSalvo, Member John J. Gaffny, III, Member Robert E. Mascola, Member Richard G. Haltmaler, Member 34 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. Enrollment Enrollment figures for October 1, 1982 compared with figures for October 1, 1981, showed a decrease of 140 students. This decrease occurred primarily in the elementary schools, where there was one-hundred fewer students. The Middle School population increased By eight students and High School enrollments decreased by forty-eight students. After several years of declining enrollment in entering kindergarten classes, the September, 1983 enrollment number was thirty~five higher than a year earlier. Programs and Activities Following are brief highlights in statistical and narrative form relating to programs and student achievements: I. S~ial Needs Department Four hundred and forty-two North Andover students participated in a broad range of special programs and services during the 1982~83 school year. Therapy services, including speech, occupational therapy and physical therapy are provided by school system personnel. Psychological and diagnostic services for students and their families were also provided through the Greater Lawrence Psychological Center and the Greater Lawrence Mental Health Center. Specialized curriculum have been developed for children with special learning needs. These programs are offered through learning centers or resource rooms located within the school building. A languags-based program is also operated that provides services to students with moderate language disorders. The Greater Lawrence Collaborative operates programs for severely handicapped children. If a local or collaborative program was not available to meet the needs of an individual child, private school placements were used. II. Audlo/~is~al Department Mr. John Robinson, Audio/Visual and Data Processing Coordinator, reported heavy circulation of hardware and software units throughout the year in all schools. An additional Betamax was purchased for the High School to help satisfy the heavy demand for videotape playback. Continental Cablevision provided Channel 25 a Knox 500 Character Generator to be used as a back-up for the Character Generator owned by the System. III. Channel 25 Pro~gramming A four page character generator delivers messages twenty-four hours a day during the school year. A continuous-play audio tape is also broadcast giving community and school notices and town historical facts. Regular television broadcasting takes place on Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m. and Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. A one-hour student-produced, disc-jockey program, featuring a popular rock group, is broadcast continuously from 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday until 9:00 a.m. on Thursday. 35 In his annual report, Mr. Joseph F. Aliquo, ~upe~visor of Art, made the following comment: "It is with a sense of pride that I submit my twenty-first and final report as Art Supervisor for the town of North Andover. With the elimination of the art and music supervisory positions and the establishment of the position of Supervisor of Fine Arts, I feel that the art and music programs, in North Andover will attain new heights of excellence." The past year saw the Art Department taking part in many school-co~munity oriented art projects. Art Department personnel were involved with integration of art with other disciplines as well as with designs for plays, posters, award programs and brochures. The department once again took part in the National Scholastic Art ExhiBit sponsored by the Boston GloBe. North Andover High School students received recognition from the Lawrence TriBnne and the Andover Artists' Guild. High School students were selected and did attend Saturday art classes sponsored by schools and colleges in Boston. The Department took part in individual exhibits throughout the system and took an active role in the Festival of the Arts program. V. Music Course offerings were evaluated and revised where appropriate. The chorus and band programs continued to service a large population of students at the Elementary to High School levels. Miss Mary Healey has served diligently and well as Music Supervisor for the past twelve years. The Music and Art Departments will he combined next year into a Department of Fine Arts. VI. Co~m~u~ity EMenin$. School There were two ten-week semesters of the North Andover Community School Program conducted on a self-sustaining basis by tuition receipts. Semester I ran from October 4th through December 13th. Twenty-four courses were offered and 743 persons were enrolled. Semester II ran from January 24th through April 4th. Forty~one courses were offered and 922 persons were enrolled. VII. Alternative Evenin~ School There were two semesters of the Alternative Evening SChool, which ran simultaneously with the Community School Program. Both semesters ran for sixty days or 120 hours. Students were not in session during regular school holidays. The schedule of classes was as follows; Monday and Wednesday 6:00 - 9:00 p.m., Math and Science; Tuesday and Thursday, 6:00 - 9:00 p.m., English and Social Studies. During the first semester 22 students were enrolled and 23 students were enrolled during the second semester. VIII. Summer School This was the twenty~third annual session of the North Andover Summer School. Enroll- ment was 261 students in the strictly academic program necessitated by Proposition 2~. This emrollment represented a fifty-nine student increase over the 202 students who were enrolled in academic programs in 1981. 36 IX. EXCEL During the spring of 1983 the North Andover Public Schools piloted an after school creative enrichment program for students in grades K-5. The program ran eight weeks from March 28th through May 27th, from 3:30 - 5:00 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays. The program offered a variety of enrichment programs including Foreign Language, Computers, Painting and Crafts and Music. 340 students in grades K-5 participated in the program. Co-educational~Physical Education Program Elementary and Middle School classes met twice weekly. Freshmen took physical education two periods a w~ek all year; juniors and seniors a half year and sophomores took physical education three times a week for one semester and once a week during the semester that they take the required health education course. A cumulative testing program (A.A.H.P.E.R.) was implemented 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 and Middle School levels. Field Day at the High School was cancelled because of inclement weather. Students at all three levels were screened for the adaptive physical education program with over fifty Boys and girls, K~12 ultimately selected to participate in the adaptive physical education program. XI. Health Education Proi~r~am Primary classroom teachers' taught Health Education a minimnm of twenty-flve minutes per week. "Project Charlie" was implemented on a pilot Basts to grade 3 students at the Franklin School. Jane Guild and Eva Lovett (Yolunteer parents) organized and taught the program. Health and Physical Education teachers taught health education classes, one period a week, for the entire year, in grade 8, and two periods a week, for a semester, for all sophomores. Instruction in the areas of venereal diseases, family life, and sex education were offered to students in grade 10 who had parental approval. A three-credit course on Alcohol/Drug Education was taken 5y twenty teachers, representing all levels of the system. A state mandated pastural screening program was conducted for all students in grades 5 - 9. Dru~ and Alcohol Abuse: An interdisciplina~f in.service workshop was funded through a federal project. The workshop resulted in the development of curriculum in the health/science/social studies areas with the major focus on developing student decision-making skills. XII. Intramural Pro,ram Intramural activities, as a phase of the total health and physical education program, was cancelled this year. A Saturday Morning Basketball Program was offered to all boys and girls in grades 5-8. Over 200 boys and girls participated. 37 XIII. Athletic Department There were thirty-two North Andover High School te~ms that competed in eighteen different sports. These various sports attracted over 700 athletes. North Andover High School finished in the top "3" in the over-all (all sports) results for the past nine years. The Hyland Trophy, emblematic of athletic success, was returned to North Andover in 1982-83. /IV. Guidance The Guidance Department, in cooperation with other school personnel and outside agencies contributed to the following school programst Testing: System-wide standardized testing, as well as minimum competency testing, as mandated by the State Department were completed and appropriate analysis were made, Work-Study/Co-op Ed: A program for High School students in the Special Needs program was developed that placed students in supervised job experiences. These job experiences ranged from volunteer placements to on-site training to paid employment. In addition to Job counseling, students were provided with training on completing applica- tions, experiencing job interviews, awareness of employer expectations and job responsibilities. Counseling: Students at the High School were given an opportunity to participate in short-term counseling sessions dealing with various adolescent issues. The groups were co-led by high school counselors and psychologists from the Greater Lawrence Psychological Center. The success of these groups was attested to by student requests for additional sessions. PUp%i Services: The policy and procedure for retentions was reviewed and revised. Provision for a follow-up study of retained students was recommended. Parent Services: Several evening programs for parents were held that included: 1. The College Admissions Panel 2. Financial Aid Night 3. "How to Survive Your Child's Adolescence" - a six part lecture/discussion series conducted by Dr. Michael Finkle under the auspices of the school and the Greater Lawrence Psychological Center. This will be the final report from the Director of Guidance since the position has been phased out in the organizational changes instituted for the next school year. XV. Elementary_ Schools (K - 8) During the school year just completed, a number of studies were initiated. Notably~' considerable time and effort were expended considering alternative school reorganization plans. As many as seven such plans were developed and considered by administration. After carefully considering all alternatives, no changes were made. Alternatives to the Gifted and Talented program implemented in 1982 were considered. A Co~onwealth In-Service grant entitled "A Course for Gifted and Talented Resource Teacher Training" was approved. Eighteen teachers participated in this training experience. The ~fter~school EXCEL Program, directed by Mrs.. Michelle Fitzpatrick, afforded students fine enric~kment opportunities. Miss. Adela Dainowski pass.ed away ~n April, 1983 afte~ serving 45 years as an . - elementary school teacher in North Andover. 38 .~.. In caoperation with the Merrimack Vnlley Textile Museum, an application was submitted under the Cnlturai Resources Program. The project was funded by a grant from the Massachusetts Council on the Arts and Humanities. The additional funding allowed an expansion of the longstanding grade five visits to the Textile Museum. A trained museum demonstrator visited and taught classes before the museum trip. Following the visit to the museum, the demonstrator returned to the school to reinforce the learning and stimulate further discussion. The newly-reorganized kindergarten curriculum and conference form were inaugurated this year. A highlight of the year was the pilot program in third grades at the Franklin School known as "Project Charlie." Charlie is an acronym for Chemical Abuse Resolution Lies in Education. Based upon a successful evaluation of the pilot program, Project Charlie will be presented to children in grades one, three and five in all schools next year. This represents a positive step in reaching young children early on the consequences of dangerous drug and alcohol experimentation. Elementary students performed very well on Stanford Achievement Tests administered in September, 1982. Ail grades, two through eight, maintained a grade level or more beyond the grade level expectations for the complete battery. Results obtained on the Basic Skills Improvement testing in grades three, six and nine were equally encouraging with only a small number of students failing to meet minimum standards. Students were tested in reading, math, writing and listening skills. Chapter I, the math compensatory program operating in Kittredge, Atkinson, Bradstreet, Middle School and St. Michael's, produced significant gains in student achievement and in the students' attitudes toward school work. The 1982-83 Block Grant money was expended among the libraries, audio-visual depart- ment, computer literacy programs and fine arts. Of particular benefit was the effort made by a dedicated lay committee in cooperation with school personnel in the promotion of fine arts. Using a small allocation from the block grant as a starting base, the committee planned for a year to promote a Fine Arts Festival, which was held in May at the North Andover High School, and during that school week, in the elementary schools. The activity was a tremendously successful undertaking. Committee members were Susan Battersby, Judith Gross, Joanne Cahill, Susan Todd, Patricia Daley, Lois Messina and Henry Shelley. XVI. H_~gh School (9 - 12) English Dep~rtm~nt. The English curriculum was changed with the introduction of European Classics, a level two college prepatory course. Comic Spirit was updated and revised. The name of the course was changed to Insights and Decisions, a strong level three program. A citation for excellence in the teaching of writing was awarded to the department from the National Council of Teachers of English. It seems appropriate to report nnder English that the Speech Team, directed by Mr. Edward Rudd, had a very successful year. Two students, Liz Duffy and Sara Dickison, competed at the Nationals in Chicago. The literary puSlication, under the advisorship of Mrs. Margaret Hannum, demonstrated a high quality of literary and artistic technique. Finally, the Drama part of our program was ably directed by Ms. Maloney-Brown. The production of the musicale, Flame, with the help of many others, including Ms. Beth Graham, Ms. Mary Healey, Mrs. Carolyn Sullivan, Mr. Bert Noyes, Mr. Paul Spadafore, Mrs. Dolly Grieci, and Mr. Paul Gregoire, was a smashing success. 39 The mean Scholastic Aptitude and Achievement test scores for students enrolled in the various level English programs are listed below: Honors English Course Level I English Course Level II English Course Level III English Course Mean Score 650 Mean Score 530 Mean Score 444 Mean Score 323 (15 students) (31 students) (126 students) (26 students) SAT - Mean 452 SAT - Median 440 Achievement - 529 Science Department. Under the leadership of Mr. Bennett, the department embarked on an extensive program to improve procedures for safety. New rules for student safety were instituted. Chemical storage was improved by separating the various chemicals into more compatible groups. Additional eye washers were installed along with an infla~nable storage cabinet. The department was commended for the initiative shown by putting the entire chemical inventory on a micro-computer. This assisted teachers greatly in their planning and preparation. An analysis of the department's achievement testing program, STEP, reveals that grade 10 students ranked in the 66 percentile nationally, while grade 11 students ranked in the 83 percentile. Mathematics Department. The Mean Scholastic Aptitude and Achievement test scores for students enrolled in the various level Math programs are listed below: Calculus Program Analysis Program Structural Program Fundamental Program Mean Score 709 Mean Score 591 Mean Score 470 Mean Score 367 (15 students~ (51 students) (112 students) (26 students) SAT - Mean 505 Achievement - Level I Mean 573; Level II (Advanced Mean 710 Over 90% of the students in North Andover High School were enrolled in a mathematics course during the past school year. There were also two computer courses offered by the mathematics department which were very popular. One involved the introduction to programming in BASIC and the other included advanced BASIC as well as an introduction to PASCAL. The High School's math team had a very successful season. Based upon its record for the season, the team was invited to the State Tournament and placed 5th. The Math Team competes in written examinations involving all areas of mathematics. Also, as in all but one of the past eight years, there were scores of 800 (the top College Board score) in the Achievement exam. For the second time at N.A.H.S., one student scored 800 in the College Board Math S.A.T. exam. Instructional Materials Center. One of the major changes due to Proposition 2% was the elimination of certain personnel throughout the school system. The high school library shared two part~time people who served as master librarians. These people, Ms. Meg Holmes and Ellyn Spencer, provided services to our students and teachers at a high level. Athletics. It should be noted that the athletic program, under the direction of Howard Crozier, Athletic D~rector, enjoyed one of its better years. The climax was winning the Hyland Trophy, emblematic of success in the overall program, for the third time. The trophy is now in permanent residence at North Andover High. 4O For the record, our teams won four Cape Ann League Championships, and two teams placed second in Sectional State Tournament competition. All coaches and athletes are to be co,ended for their efforts in retiring the Hyland Trophy. N.A.H.S. students have diat inguished themselves in many ways during the past year. Perhaps the most significant was the splendid performance of our outstanding scholars in the National Merit Scholarship Testing program. Fourteen members of the Class of 1983 distinguished themselves in this competition. Their names are listed along with their particular designation in the Merit Program of 1983: Letters of Commendation: Lee Altman, Rebecca Balmas, Kelly Comerford, Joy Kaplan, Paula Lawson, Kevin Redman and K~nneth Rossetti Semi-Finalist: James Harmon Finalists: Robin Desmet, Charles Gamble and James Williamson Merit Scholars: Anthony Galvagna, David McClung and Sunit MukherJee As a group, the Class of 1983 recorded the highest percentage of students accepted at four-year colleges and universities in the history of N.A.H.S. XVI.!. Business Services This report contains five major sections covering transportation, building mainten- ance, budgets, food service and personnel. 1. Transportation. The 1982-83 school year marked a return to normalcy with all regular buses used prior to Proposition 2~ in operation. B'us routes continued to be complicated hy the number of students crossing district lines. Eight of fourteen buses were required to cover more than one school. Some covered out-of-district students and others were assigned a second route for each elementary run. In the afternoon when all schools dismiss at 3:00 p.m., several buses needed to cover multiple schools. This caused some delay and some complaints by both parents and staff. Many field trips were taken. Funding was reduced and most trips were paid hy student assessment. There were four minor accidents involving school buses during the year. There were no injuries, 41 Over the past three years, the percentage of bus riders have remained fairly consistent. Year Total Bused Enrollment Percent Bused 1980'81 2,205 3,607 61% 1981-82 2,071 3,547 58% 1982-83 2,031 3,413 60% 2. Building Maintenance. Ail oil burners were overhauled. The obsolete rotary cup burner in the Kittredge School was replaced with an atomizing burner. Preliminary indications point to a reduction of 15% in oil consumption because of this replacement. The Middle School roof was replaced at a cost of $206,000. Oil consumption in the Middle S~hool for the past year was down almost 28%. However, the year was 9% warmer than the thirty year average. Town Meeting voted $82,000 for several projects at the High School including: Field House acoustical improvements; construction of quiet areas; a science lab and computer room, A Federal grant was received to pay for half the cost of a technical audit at the Middle School to be completed by August 31, 1983. This audit information may be used to apply for funding for Federal energy saving projects. Glass breakage has shown a reduction this past year. One reason for the reduction is that every year a larger portion of the windows are lexan or plexiglass. Anew computer was installed in the High School to control heating. This on-site microcomputer replaces the BOSS System which has been leased from Honeywell over the past five years. 3. Bud~e.t and Finance. Proposition 2½ continues to dominate fiscal planning. Appropriations approved at Town Meeting were $146,766 less than the School Committee approved budget. This shortfall will be reduced by Special Town Meeting action in the fall, allocating addi- tional state aid for the schools of $135,000. 1982-83 was a particularly good year with utilities. A decline in oil prices contributed to this good experience. Using 1976-77 as the base year, the energy conservation program has produced a total savings of over $650,000 or $110,000 per year. 4. Food Service. This program operated at a loss during the school year even though participation increased from 50% in 1981-82 to 54.3% in 1982-83. The increase was largely due to offering a more varied menu. Respectfully submitted, Leslie C. Bernal Superintendent of Schools 42 REPORT OF THE SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE At its October 25, 1982, meeting~ the North Andover School Committee voted to ask the Town Moderator to reactivate the School Building Committee. The reason for this activity was to consider potential building improvements to the High School. These had been recommended by the Principal. The first meeting was held December 28, 1982. Subsequent meetings through January and February developed tentative plans for the proposed changes. Estimates were made and three articles were submitted to the Town Meeting. The Advisory Board recommended favorable action and the April 23, 1983, Town Meeting passed three articles: 1. Article 46 -- $30,000 to build quiet areas in the High School to service principal academic areas. 2. Article 47 -- $23,000 to build a science lab and a computer room. 3. Article 48 -- $29,000 to install correctional acoustic improvements to the field house. The Special Town Meeting of October 27, 1983, in Article 2 voted to transfer $4,000 from Article 48 to Article 47; new values to be: Article 46 $30,000 Article 47 27,000 Article 48 25,000 Specifications were prepared by the Committee and bids were opened on June 30, 1983. These projects were under the new Omnibus Construction Act--Chapter 579 and required careful attention to legal detail. Contracts were awarded as follows: Article 46--Quiet Areas: Patterson Associates of Lynnfield was low bidder and contracted to build four quiet areas for $30,000. Article 47--Computer Room: Patterson Associates was low bidder on the computer room and contracted to build a computer room for $5,800. Article 47--Science Lab: Gene Willis Construction of North Andover was the only bidder on this project. Me first con- tracted to build a modified lab for $16,080. After the Special Town Meeting of October 27, 1983, plans were expanded to include $2,568 to add more stations to the science lab. Article 48--Acoustics: Sound Systems Engineering of Boxford was the low bidder and contracted to do the job for $24,950. RObert Mascola was elected Chairman. As of this date, all work is completed except for the second phase in the science lab. Mr. Nicetta resigned as Chairman on August 1, 1983. At an August 4, 1983, meeting, Mr. Mr. Nicetta's vacancy has not been filled as yet. We appreciate the cooperation of the School Department. The projects went well and there were no significant problems. We look forward to a swift completion early in 1984. Respectfully submitted, North Andover School Building Committee Robert E.

NO SCHOOL ANNOUNCEMENTS Radio Broadcasts: Stations -- WCCM, WLLH, WBZ, WHAV and WHDH. 58 Sealer of Weights & Measures The Department of Weights and Measures herewith submits its annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1983. 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 sealing fees amounting to $1,403.00 were collected and turned over to the Town Treasurer. During the year, 31 complaints were investigated and resolved to the satisfaction of all parties involved. Requests by owners and managers of various businesses for additional services relative to re-testing of weighing and measuring devices were complied with promptly. I wish to thank the owners and managers of the various mercantile, mechanical, and manufacturing concerns for their cooperation and courtesy extended to this department during the year. Respectfully submitted, Ernest J. Roberts Sealer of Weights and Measures Anne Gauthier, Community Development Secretary 59 Stevens Memorial Library To the Citizens of North Andover, Massachusetts: The Trustees of the Stevens Memorial Library herewith present their 75th report which is for the twelve-month period, July 1, 1982, to June 30, 1983. To the Trustees of the Stevens Memorial Library: I hereby submit the 75th report of the Director.

(2) Does not include magazines, pamphlets, maps, puzzles, art prints, and most paperbacks. Adult programming this past year included a CPR program, craft prOgrams, investment workshops, and a reception for Paul Hudon, author of The Valley & Its People. A wardrobe consultant, a color workshop, and another on flower arrangement helped many area residents get over a cold winter while a workshop on furniture refinishing and another on home computers gave us something to do. 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. Despite the reduction of four hours Friday evenings, the Stevens Memorial Library has one of the lowest staff densities in the state (hour of operation divided by personnel hours). My deep appreciation goes to the dedicated staff who work hard to maintain our high standard of service. The meeting room, which is available free of charge to any non-profit group, was used an average of 20 times per month. We continue to have passes to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The library continues to benefit from the service provided by the Eastern Regional Library System. Our ability to receive books and other regional services helps us provide the best possible service. The children's library was active this past year running a very original summer program, conducting pre-school story hours, showing films, 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 bookplate. We are also especially pleased to have received $5,000 from the Hay Scales for the purchase of craft books and a display case. 60 The emphasis of the library this past spring and summer has been automating the library's circulation system and card catalog. The staff has been busy putting on computer labels and entering book information into the computer. The Town has been fortunate that the majority of hardware costs for this project have come from private sources. The central computer, housed in Andover, and some extra benefits were paid for from a Federal L.S.C.A. grant of $175,000. Before the end of 1984, we expect to be fully on line. It was with great sadness that the library learned of the death of Elizabeth Allan. She is sorely missed by all of us who worked with her and knew her. Russell J. Reeve, Director It is with regret that the Board accepted the resignation of Ms. Helena Wright. We wish Helena well in her new job at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. During the year, the Board continued to guide the investments and expenditure of endowed funds and oversee the upkeep of the library building. Thanks to a grant awarded by the Department of Energy, the energy efficiency of the library was studied. Over the next two years, we will endeavor to complete all of the recommendations produced from that study. The Board shares the concerns of the Director over the continued theft of library materials. We will, through the use of automation, have greatly improved the accountability of our library's materials which are borrowed and will be able to locate books in other libraries. To have this system work as accurately as possible, we urge the Town to support us in our endeavors to secure an anti-theft security system. The theft of library materials hurts both the library user and the taxpayer. We extend our sincere thanks to the library staff for their and dedication.

This caused receipts for fiscal 1983 to be only 55.8% of the prior year and will make 1984 receipts that much higher. 62 Uncollected Balances - June 30, 1983 Farm Animal Sewer Liens Added to Taxes Water Liens Added to Taxes Real Estate 1983 Real Estate 1982 Real Estate 1981 Real Estate 1980 Personal 1983 Personal 1982 Personal 1981 Personal 1980 Personal 1979 Personal 1978 Personal 1977 Personal 1975 Forest Land 1982 Forest Land 1981 Motor Vehicle 1983 Motor Vehicle 1982 Motor Vehicle 1981 Motor Vehicle 1980 Motor Vehicle 1979 Motor Vehicle 1978 Motor Vehicle 1977 Motor Vehicle 1976 Motor Vehicle 1975 206.10 21,622.26 25,130.20 5,607,167.94 147,492.66 76,963.56 3,452.51 92,909.98 452.00 678.79 861.83 1,338.90 1,113.04 643.94 34.50 2.65 104 37 100,11057 13,85599 6,075 22 19,575 09 5,68795 8,168 86 3,015 78 2,382 96 2,239 36 Respectfully submitted, James H. Dewhirst Tax Collector Resident and Helen Eaton, Tax Collector's Office Town Accountant A report of the financial operations of the Town for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1983. The total sum appropriated for budgetary accounts was $13,786,654 made up of $8,794,496 in salaries and $4,992,158 in expenses. This represents an increase of $894,849 over the previous fiscal year. Under Article 96, it was voted to use $350,000 from Revenue Sharing Funds as follows: $185,000 for Fire Department salaries and $165,000 for Police Department salaries. Town Meeting also appropriated, under separate articles, $1,299,738. Of these articles, $14,145 was taken from a previous years article. It was voted that Article 55, Water Main on Salem and Stevens Streets, be raised by bonding in the amount of $140,000. It was also voted under Article 98 to take $450,000 from available funds to reduce the tax rate. At the beginning of this fiscal year (July 1, 1982), the outstanding long-term debt was $4,475,000, and at the end of the fiscal year, it was $3,865,000. This represents a payout of $750,000 and the issuance of a new water bond of $140,000. I would like to thank Carol Melvidas and Mary Lachapelle for their assistance.

Dewhirst Treasurer 65 Tree Department The gypsy moth population declined dramatically in 1983. A virus disease is the key agent usually responsible for the natural collapse of the gypsy moth population. Spraying operations using a truck mounted mist blower in the outlying sections of Town achieved the desired result of an insignificant amount of defoliation. Heavy defoliation during the last two or three years has caused the death of some trees and a significant amount of dead limbs in others. Heavy spring rains resulted in an unusually heavy growth of underbrush along roadsides, which in turn necessitated extensive brush cutting. Routine preventive maintenance was performed on both diseased elms and maples. Other requests for services such as removing low limbs, tree planting, and brush cutting operations were answered. The Massachusetts Electric Company is very cooperative in providing assistance (50' & 70' skyworker) in removal of dangerous trees near electric lines. The North Andover Improvement Society again deserves a vote of thanks for the contribution to the Arbor Day purchase of one thousand San Isabel Fir seedlings which were packaged by the Tree Department and distributed to fourth and fifth grade students.
