Board of Selectmen
George R. Dixon, Jr.
Chairman
To the Residents of Chelmsford:
The Board of Selectmen advanced a number of
initiatives during the difficult economy. Many of
our efforts focused on energy efficiency in order to
save money and protect the environment. These
included the Town's effort to reduce energy usage
in municipal buildings by our participation in the
EPA's Energy Star Challenge, the installation of solar
panels at the Chelmsford Library, and a fuel-efficient
vehicle policy. The most significant achievement
was the Town designation by State as one of the first
Green Communities. This certification makes the
Town eligible to receive energy grant monies from
the State.
Eric Dahlberg and Pat Wojtas were the principle
organizers of the Greener Chelmsford Initiative.
This program formally recognizes those businesses
that undertake energy conservation efforts. Badhri
Uppiliappan served as the volunteer director of this
program.
In advance of the expiration of the Town's solid
waste collection and recycling contracts, the Board
considered numerous options regarding weekly solid
waste collection and bi-weekly recycling. In the end,
we settled on a new program that limits solid waste
collection to two 32-gallon containers and a single-
stream recycling program. This program became
effective at the end of the fiscal year.
Pat Wojtas' participation as a member of the North-
ern Middlesex Council of Governments led to the
Town receipt of a $1.8M state public works project
to reconfigure the intersection of Parkhurst Road and
Smith Street. Traffic safety improvements were also
made at Kate's Corner by the installation of new traf-
fic warning signals, improvements of the road shoul-
ders, and road striping.
Sean Scanlon and Pat Wojtas established the
Chelmsford Military Community Covenant Task
Force. This volunteer organization assists military
families in meeting the challenges faced by their ser-
vice. The type of assistance depends upon the needs
of a military family.
The Board attempted to address the growing finan-
cial costs of employee and retiree health insurance
by supporting state legislation that would provide
PAGE 14
FY 2010 ANNUAL REPORT
Boards & Committees
municipalities with the same authority that the state
has to modify the design of health insurance plans.
Unfortunately, the State Legislature failed to enact
any changes into law. However, the Board voted to
move non-union active employees and retirees to a
less expensive/higher premium HMO health insur-
ance plan at the start of the new fiscal year. The
Board also directed the Town Manager to attempt
to negotiate health care design changes for union
employees.
There were two changes to the membership of the
Board of Selectmen during the past fiscal year.
Matt Hanson and Jon Kurland were elected as new
members at the April Annual Town Election. They
replaced Chairman Clare Jeannotte, who did not seek
re-election after one three-year term, and Pat Wojtas,
who was seeking a second term. We thank Clare
and Pat for their dedicated service to the Town and
welcome Matt and Jon.
Board of Selectmen: Eric R. Dahlberg, Matt Hanson, George R. Dixon,
Jr., Sean Scanlon, Jon Kurland
Thank you to the dedicated staff and countless vol-
unteers who serve the Town of Chelmsford. We are
fortunate to have so many hardworking employees
during this time of limited funding. The Town's
volunteer board and committee members, along with
the countless others who donate their time at places
such as the senior center and open space areas, help
make Chelmsford the best place to live and visit in
the state.

Fiscal Year 2010 may be best remembered for the
planning and investment that the Town of Chelms-
ford made in its capital facilities. Town Meeting
approved funds to restore the Center Town Hall and
the North Town Hall, authorized the purchase and
renovation of a vacant warehouse building into a
new DPW facility, and adopted an optional building
code to require more energy-efficient buildings.
At the 2010 Spring Annual Town Meeting voters
overwhelming voted to appropriate $2.56M in Com-
munity Preservation funds to restore and preserve the
Center Town Hall. The construction of a new en-
trance at the rear of the building along with an eleva-
tor will make the building fully handicapped accessi-
ble, while preserving the historic exterior front main
entrance. The ground-level kitchen area will also be
rehabbed to support catered affairs. The building's
HVAC, windows, doors, electrical, plumbing, and
mechanical systems will also be addressed. This
building will house the Chelmsford Center for Arts, a
volunteer organization founded and administered by
Susan Gates that provides cultural performances and
artist studios.
Town Meeting also appropriated $2.85M in Com-
munity Preservation monies to restore and preserve
the North Town Hall. The long-vacant shell of a
building will be returned to community use by the
installation of an elevator, finishing of the interior
walls, addition of a catering kitchen, and installation
of new baroom facilities. A 40-vehicle parking area
will be constructed across the street from the build-
ing behind the fire station.
At a special town meeting held on August 17, 2009,
the voters approved $13M in funding for the pur-
chase and renovation of a vacant warehouse build-
ing located at 7 Alpha Road into a DPW facility and
$12M to replace the center fire station, constructed
in 1952, with a new fire headquarters that would be
located on Town-owned land located at the corner of
Wilson and Chelmsford Streets. At a Special Town
Election held on October 6, 2009, voters defeated
debt exclusion ballot questions that were necessary
to finance each of these projects. At the following
spring annual town election and town meeting, vot-
ers approved a $5M debt exclusion to purchase the
Alpha Road site for the DPW and to fund the first
phase of the renovations required to house the DPW
Highway Department operations. All of these proj-
ects will be undertaken under the stewardship of the
Permanent Building Committee.

FY 2010 ANNUAL REPORT

At the 2010 Spring Annual Town Meeting, the
Town adopted the State's "stretch code", an optional
building code relating to energy conservation. This
qualified the Town of Chelmsford as one of only
35 Green Communities across the Commonwealth.
This resulted in the Town's receipt of a grant in the
amount of $187,224 to install solar panels at the
Parker Middle School. The Town also installed solar
panels on the roof of the Adams Library and received
$150K in federal stimulus funding to install solar
panels at Chelmsford High School. Future grant op-
portunities are expected to become available to the
Town as a result of the Town's energy conservation
efforts, as well as the operational savings from solar
power, improved building insulation, and energy-
efficient vehicles.
Facilities Director Gary Persichetti chaired a newly-
established Energy Conservation Committee. He
also led the Town's participation in the Environ-
mental Protection Agency's Energy Star Challenge.
This program consisted of conducting an audit of
the Town's energy consumption and then enacting
measures to achieve a 10% reduction in electricity
and natural gas consumption. He also submitted a
successful application to achieve Energy Star Status
for the Chelmsford High School, the Byam School,
and the Town Offices. This designation recognizes
the fact that these buildings exceed the energy op-
erational standards for at least 70% of comparable
buildings nationwide.
This past year marked the opening of Bruce Freeman
Rail Trail. Heavy rains resulted in the relocation of
the August 29 ribbon cutting ceremony to the Town
Hall adjacent to the rail trail. Bicyclists, walkers,
and others heavily utilized this new recreational op-
portunity that runs through the center of our com-
munity.
The Town also initiated other healthy community
activities during the past fiscal year. Chelmsford
residents Peggy Dunn and Susan Gates organized
and operated a weekly farmers market on the Town
Common during the summer months. The Chelms-
ford Open Space Stewards fostered the expanded
agricultural use of the recently acquired Sunny
Meadow Farm by constructing a handicapped-acces-
sible garden. The Stewards also assisted the Town in
the rehabilitation of parking, beach, and open space
areas of the recently acquired Pond Street property.
Town Meeting also appropriated monies to create a
parking area at Sunny Meadow Farm along with a
paved bicycle pathway to the rail trail.
The ongoing economic recession resulted in the
continued closure of the south fire station. Town
Meeting adopted a .75%) local option meals tax and
increased the local room occupancy tax from 4% to
6% in order to provide some financial relief. The
Town continued its unsuccessful efforts to negotiate
changes in its employee and retiree health insurance
plans. By the end of the fiscal year, the Board of Se-
lectmen approved the implementation of an alterna-
tive HMO plan for non-union employees.
The Board of Selectmen approved changes in the
Town's solid waste and recycling programs. Recy-
cling Coordinator Jennifer Almeida developed alter-
natives for the Board's consideration. By the end of
the fiscal year, she was leading the efforts to educate
residents of the new program that provides for single
stream recycling and a two-32-gallon limit of solid
waste collection per residential household.
The newly-established Economic Development
Commission quickly initiated efforts to promote
the Town of Chelmsford as a desirable place to live
and to work. The members advanced the concept of
Chelmsford's strategic location at the intersection
of Routes 495 and 3. The committee's slogan was
"Chelmsford Gets It Done".

Administratively, the Building Department was
merged into the Community Development Office.
This helped streamline the permitting and regulatory
process for homeowners and business operators. At
the request of the Board of Selectmen, the Planning
Board developed a billboard overlay zoning bylaw
that was adopted by Town Meeting.
The Department of Public Works completed the
installation of new traffic warning signals at Kate's
corner. DPW Director/Town Engineer Jim Pearson
also advanced the initial construction of the town
center underground utility project.
It has been another successful year of doing more
with less. I want to express my appreciation to the
dedicated Town employees, the Board of Select-
men and other volunteer Town Officials, and to the
residents and business operators in the Town of
Chelmsford. Together, we have marked progress.
The future remains bright.

Treasurer & Collector
The Town weathered another fiscally challenging
year in FY 10 due to the recession. We began the
year cautiously following the release of the FY 10
State budget on June 29, 2009. When the final
Cherry Sheets were released, a reduction of $720K
in State Aid revenue combined with a $346K
Treasurer's Office: Kim Pease, John Sousa, Anna Griffin, and Diane
Morgan
increase in State Assessments resulted in a net loss
of $1.06M to the Town from earlier State Aid esti-
mates available when the Town budget was approved
in April 2009. A loss of this magnitude in our sec-
ond-largest revenue source required the development
of a budget balancing plan which included a com-
bination of expenditure reductions and the adoption
of two local option taxes. In August 2009, Special
Town Meeting approved this plan through a $397K
reduction to the School budget, a $162K reduction
across many General Government expense budgets,
the approval of a 0.75% meals tax, and the approval
of an additional 2.0% hotel room occupancy tax.
A mild second half of the winter season resulted in
an unexpended balance of approximately $300,000
in the Snow & Ice removal account. With most
Departmental budgets already funded at reduced
levels, this was fortuitous. This allowed us to avoid
any transfers from the Stabilization or Reserve Funds
for unforeseen expenditures. In April 2010, Town
Meeting approved the transfer of remaining Snow
& Ice funds to meet unforeseen increases for Public
Safety overtime, legal expenses, tax title collection
PAGE 18

expenses, and floor repairs at the Center Fire Station.
Despite the uncertainty of State Aid funding levels,
local sources of revenue remained strong. The Town
collected 98.6% of FY 10 real estate and personal
property taxes. Local receipt collections of $8. 1M
were augmented by two non-recurring revenue
sources: $320K of FEMA reimbursement for the De-
cember 2008 ice storm debris clean-up and $300K of
School Medicaid reimbursement catch-up payments
for requests previously submitted.
The Town closed FY09 with a general fund balance
of $2.5M, a decrease of over $662,000 from the prior
year. At the end of FY09, our unreserved general
fund balance decreased $928,000 to $1.77M and
our stabilization fund balance increased $898,000 to
$2.16M. Total available reserves of $3.93M, com-
bining the unreserved general fund balance and our
stabilization fund, were approximately 3.7% of bud-
get at fiscal year end. Health insurance and pension
benefit costs accounted for 16.4% of the total FY 10
operating budget.
Stabilization reserves equaled 2.1% of FY09 budget-
ed operating revenues, which remains below our fis-
cal policy minimum target of 5%. The Finance Team
remains committed to replenishing the stabilization
fund to the 5% level, even during difficult economic
conditions, to improve our financial flexibility and
qualify for a bond rating upgrade. Toward this end,
our entire free cash certification of $1.24M for FY09
was transferred into the stabilization fund by Town
Meeting vote in October 2009.
Chelmsford's unemployment rate at the end of FY 10
rose slightly to 7.7%, an increase of 0.1% from the
prior year due to the ongoing recession but remained
below the statewide unemployment rate of 8.8%.
Assessed valuation (AV) declined 4.3% in FY 10 to
$4.8 billion due to the soft real estate market and
lower home values. Per capita market value re-
mained strong at $143,423 per capita. Our tax base
remains diverse with the 1 0 largest taxpayers ac-
counting for less than 5% of total AV. Income levels
remained strong with median household income
equal to 150%) of the national level.
Standard and Poor's considers the Town's overall
debt burden low at $ 1 ,464 per capita after accounting
for state reimbursement toward a portion of school
debt and sewer debt self-support through betterments
and user charges. Amortization of existing debt is
rapid with more than 70% of principal being retired
within 10 years. Debt service expenditures remain
manageable with FY 10 debt service accounting for
12.1%) of total FY10 expenditures.
The Town issued $9,903,704 of General Obligation
Bonds (GOB) in June for the following purposes:
$2,503,704 of non-exempt debt to finance our FY 11
Capital Improvement Plan, $4.6M of exempt debt for
the acquisition and renovation (Phase 1) of the Alpha
Rd. property for a Public Works facility, and $2.8M
of CPA-funded debt for the preservation and renova-
tion of the Center Town Hall and North Town Hall.
In June, the Town received a $6,528,997 reimburse-
ment from the Massachusetts School Building Au-
thority for the McCarthy and Parker Middle School
projects. This reimbursement was used to retire the
remaining $6,399,347 short-term note (BAN) for the
secondary school renovation project. The remain-
der will be reserved, amortized, and applied toward
outstanding long-term debt service expense for the
project.
$4,170,000 of General Obligation Refunding Bonds
were issued in June to refinance a GOB originally
issued March 1 , 200 1 and take advantage of record
low interest rates. The Town will realize more than
$234,000 of present value savings on interest over
the next ten years as a result of this refunding. The
original bond was issued to finance an earlier con-

struction phase of the municipal sewer system.
Standard and Poors (S&P) reaffirmed the Town's
bond rating of AA- in June 2010 for the sale of our
bonds with a stable outlook. S&P maintained the
Town's bond rating in consideration of the Town's
high wealth and income levels, strong per capita
market values despite recent property valuation
declines, adequate but improving financial position,
and low overall debt burden.
I would like to express my appreciation to our Trea-
surer/Collector's Office staff which includes Kim
Pease, Asst. Treasurer, Anna Griffin, Dept. Assistant,
Diane Morgan, Principal Clerk, and Judy Olsson,
P/T Clerk for their dedication. In June, Diane Mor-
gan transferred to the Accounting Department. We
wish Diane well in her new position and appreciate
her service in the Tax Collector's Office.
Finance Committee
Mary Frantz, Chairman
Finance Committee
The Finance Committee is composed of seven mem-
bers who are appointed by the Town Moderator to
staggered three year terms. The Committee is the
arm of Town Meeting; its primary mission is to study
and make recommendations on the town budget and
warrant articles that are to be considered by Town
Meeting Representatives at the April and October
town meeting, as well as any Special Town Meet-
ings.
Each Finance Committee member is assigned as a
liaison to town departments and boards. Committee
liaisons meet individually with department heads to
Dwight Hayward, Dave Turocy, Vincent Villano, Donald Van Dyne,
Mary Frantz, Timothy Mcllvenna
review department budget requests prior to a meet-
ing with the full Committee where the department
head is given the opportunity to present the proposed
budget and respond to questions and concerns raised
by Committee members. The Town Manager also
presents his proposed budget and capital improve-
ment plan along with his budget message and sup-
porting documents to the Finance Committee. Based
on its deliberations, the Finance Committee makes a
recommendation to Town Meeting Representatives
on the budget warrant articles.
Finance Committee members are also assigned as
liaisons to the Capital Planning Committee and
other major capital project committees. Liaisons
are responsible for keeping the Committee informed
about a project's progress and financial status. These
liaisons had an important role in FY2010, as the
Finance Committee considered recommendations on
two major projects, the DPW facility and new Fire
Station. Articles to appropriate funds for these two
projects were included on a Special Town Meeting
Warrant in August, 2009 and subject to a subsequent
debt exemption vote.

The Finance Committee also meets with petitioners,
proponents and other interested parties with respect
to other warrant articles that have a financial implica-
tion. In preparation for FY2010 Spring Town Meet-
ing, the Committee met with the Community Pres-
ervation Fund and Housing Authority Chairman in
considering its recommendations on the Center and
North Town Hall restoration projects and the Hous-
ing Authority projects.
In FY2010 the Finance Committee also gave care-
ful consideration to warrant articles (Special Town
Meeting) to adopt the local option meals and hotel
taxes and during the course of the year, the Commit-
tee regularly monitors the town's financial situation.
The Committee would like to thank clerk, Pamela
Morrison who keeps us on track and does the bulk of
the work in preparing our warrant books. We would
also like to thank Town Manager Paul Cohen for
his regular attendance at our meetings and frequent
updates on the town's financial situation. In addition,
we are grateful to Town Treasurer John Sousa and
Town Accountant Darlene Lussier for their assis-
tance.
We also wish to thank Jon Kurland for his service
and contributions over the past eight years and look
forward to the appointment of a new member for
FY2011.

The Board of Assessors is responsible for the full and
fair market valuation of the approximate 13,900 real
and personal property parcels within the community as
of January 1st of the fiscal year. It has been the policy
of the Assessors to review the valuations annually in
order to maintain accurate and current assessments; a
summary of the analysis is reviewed by the Department
of Revenue and is critical to the certification of the tax
rate.
The real estate valuations through CY 2008 showed
signs of a real estate market that was still dropping. Ac-
cordingly, valuations on single family homes decreased
3 % to 6% while condominiums also dropped depend-
ing on the complex. The tax rate for the fiscal year
rose from $14.07 in FY2009 to 15.15 for FY2010. The
Department of Revenue ranks communities high to low
with respect to average tax bills. In FY2010 Chelms-
ford ranked 67 with 336 communities reporting.
In addition, the Board is responsible for the administra-
tion of the 30,000 excise bills that are issued through
several commitments annually by the Registry of Mo-
tor Vehicles.
The Board would like to take this opportunity to thank
the staff of the Assessor's office for all their hard work
and dedication through this trying year. The additional
work borne by the staff has been done timely and ac-
curately while still maintaining the excellent service
the public has come to expect. Particular thanks go to
Nancy Maher, Elaine McBride, Kathryn Bianchi, all of
whom are invaluable to the operation of the Assessors
office.
Additionally, the work performed by our senior work-
ers Elaine Myers, Eileen MacDonald and Carol Chris-
tianson can not be overstated. Their efforts were an
integral part of the overall success of the office. This is
not only measured by the quality of their work but also
by their positive attitude.

Information above is based on Calendar year January 1, 2009
to December 31, 2009
In the Fiscal year beginning July 1 , 2009 through
June 30, 2010 there had been four elections held
and three of them were specials. The first was the
Special Town Election of October 6th. There were
two debt exclusion ballot questions on the ballot
asking that the Town be exempt from Prop 2 Vi .
Question One was to allow the Town to purchase
the building and property on 9 Alpha Road in order
to create a DPW Facility. This would enable the
present Highway Operations Division from Rich-
ardson Rd, the Sewer Division from various rented
space and any personnel at the Town Office Build-
ing to move into and operate from this site. Ques-
tion Two was to build a new center fire station on
Town land at the coiner of Wilson and Chelmsford
St. and close the present Fire Station located on
North Rd. The result was 6555 registered voters
turned out and both questions failed. On August
25th Senator Edward (Ted) Kennedy passed away
which prompted a December 8th Special State
Primary, which was followed by a Special State
Election on January 19th. Scott Brown beat Martha
Coakley. This result became Massachusetts politi-
cal history as this was the first time in 47 years that
a Republican held this seat. On April 6th the Town
held its annual Town Election which included a
debt exclusion question asking that the Town be ex-
empt from Prop 2 XA. The question was to allow the
Town to purchase the building and property on 9

Town Clerk
Alpha Road in order to create a DPW Facility. This
time the question passed after 4,876 voters turned
out.
There were three Town Meetings held in this fiscal
year. The first was a special held on August 1 7th and
five articles were acted on. The next was the Annual
Fall Town Meeting of October 1 9th which ended in
one session and eleven articles were acted on. The
last was the Annual Spring Town Meeting of April
26th and an adjourn session of April 29th in which
nineteen articles were addressed.
2009 affected this office immensely and many times
when help was needed the response was great and I
thank them all very much. I also thank the members
of my staff Raymonde (Raye) Legrand and Berna-
dette (Bernie) Gilet for all their support and assis-
tance on maintaining the services that this office was
able to provide. As always my heartfelt thanks to all
the election workers and the various personnel of the
DPW, Police and School for enabling the Election
Day process to run smoothly.
Sincerely,
Lastly the Town Office personnel are a special group
of individuals. The cut in personnel in February of

Office of Community Development
Evan Belansky
Community Development Director
The Department continued to provide administrative
and technical staff support to the Planning Board,
Conservation Commission and Zoning Board
of Appeals in addition to managing community
and economic development projects, grant
administration, coordinating improvements to
conservation lands, and interfacing with residents,
developers, and other municipal staff.
Specifically, the Department provided staffing to the
Master Plan, Affordable Housing and Open Space
& Recreation Committees in support of drafting
updated policy documents.
The Department continued to manage the Economic
Development Program; providing dedicated
staff support to the newly appointed Economic
Development Commission and the project
management of Katrina Road. The Department
works with the Town Manager's office to
successfully receive additional financial support for
the redevelopment of Katrina Road from the Mass
Development and EPA.
Organizationally, the Department experienced
significant change. Specifically, the Building
Department was consolidated into the Department
and both were relocated to be located side by side.
In addition, Thaddeus Soule joined the Department
as the new Conservation Agent / Planner upon the
resignation of Darren Guertin.

Planning Board
Ann McGuigan, Chair
The Planning Board is responsible for insuring
that the development of land in Chelmsford meets
the criteria set forth in State and local land use
regulations. The process involves the review of lot
divisions, definitive and preliminary subdivisions,
site plans, and special permits.
Projects Reviewed by the Planning Board

Special Permits 5
Definitive Subdivisions 2
Minor Site Plans 1
Site Plan Modifications 4
Approval Not Required Plans 7
Reflecting the ongoing downturn in the economy,
in FY 2010 the Planning Board heard only one
proposal for Site Plan Review, the development of
the property at 9 North Road as a medical and office
building.
Site Plan Approval and Special Permits were granted
to the North Chelmsford Water District in July, 2009
as a result of hearings held during FY2008/09 for
the construction of a public water supply and water
treatment facility at 55 Richardson Road.
The Board continues its task of reviewing the 1997
Master Plan. A Master Plan Committee was formed
and has held regular meetings receiving input from
Town departments, boards and committees, along
with the general public. A draft of a new Master
Plan Document has been prepared and will be
published following review and input by various
boards, commissions, Town departments, and
members of the public.

A public hearing on Proposed Amendments to Site
Plan and Special Permit Regulations and Procedures
relative to Application Filing Fees, Landscape Plan,
and Subdivision Filing Fees was held in August
of 2009. A new fee schedule was discussed and
approved by the Board reflecting a modest increase
in some fees and establishing new fees. Specific
requirements regarding the submission of detailed
landscaping plans as part of Site Plan Review were
also reviewed and voted by the Board.

Master Plan Committee
James Lane, Chairman
The town of Chelmsford has a long history of Mas-
ter Planning which spans more than forty years. Our
first Master Plan was written in 1963 followed by
updates in 1975, 1986 and 1996. Under Massachu-
setts General Laws, Chapter 41, Section 8 ID, the
Planning Board is required to prepare a Master Plan
and must have a majority vote of the Planning Board
approving the completed document before imple-
mentation.
A Master Plan will help to establish how the commu-
nity wants to change over the next 10 years. The Plan
will set goals and objectives to manage growth and
change, provide for desired, orderly and predictable
development, protect environmental resources and
open space, strengthen local identity through various
initiatives in the area of cultural, historical, hous-
ing and economic development, create a framework
for future policy decisions and provide guidance to
residents, local boards, permitting authorities, and
the business community.
The 2009 Master Plan Committee is made up of nine
members and in partnership with Northern Middle-
sex Council of Governments (NMCOG) is approach-
ing the completion point of the Master Plan update
process. In February 2009 the committee finalized
details of the Master Plan consultant's contract with
NMCOG and planned for the initial public input
and vision for Chelmsford's future. During the past
eighteen months, the committee has undertaken an
extensive public input process in which hundreds of
Chelmsford residents have participated. The input
sessions have been entitled Vision Quest 2020 and
have been geared toward specific elements of the
plan which cover economic development, hous-
ing, transportation, land use and zoning, open space

and recreation, infrastructure and facilities, and
cultural, historical and natural resource issues. The
first session held in March 2009 at the Chelmsford
Senior Center received public input on what the
town residents' vision of the Master Plan should be.
The evening consisted of an exercise which provided
the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats,
a "SWOT" analysis, for the town. Four additional
public input sessions followed, one in May 2009 for
the business community in town, again conducted in
SWOT format, another in June 2009 which focused
on the land use/zoning, economic development and
housing sections. Additionally in June 2009, the
committee completed the Draft Vision Statement
and Initial Goal Statements which will continue as a
working document throughout the remainder of the
process. In September 2009 public input was taken
for transportation, infrastructure and facilities for
the community and our last completed public input
session was held in October 2009 and focused on
natural, historical and cultural resources.

The committee has also conducted joint meetings
with thirty stakeholders in the community which
virtually covered every board, committee, depart-
ment and water district in the town to seek addi-
tional comment and input for the Master Plan. In the
months ahead we will continue to finalize the draft
components of the Master Plan. The final public
input session to review the draft Master Plan Docu-
ment is scheduled for September 16th 2010 and will
be essential to the successful development of the
document.
Your continued support and participation in this pro-
cess is critical and the Committee continues to seek
your input via the following options:
• Committee meetings are open to the public on
the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month at the

The Board of Appeals hears petitions for Variances,

peals of the Building Inspector's rulings.
The Board in FY2010 granted 15 Variances and 7
Special Permits. One denial of a Special Permit and
Variance was voted in the case of the application for
a home occupation on 12 Stedman Street. During
FY 2010 the Board of Appeals saw a slightly larger
number of applications for in-law apartments than
had been the case in previous years.
A major project that required both a Special Permit
and a Variance was the North Chelmsford Water
District Water Treatment Facility on 55 Richardson
Road. These were granted and construction has
commenced on the facility.

Open Space Land Stewards

The Chelmsford Open Space Stewardship is an
independent group of volunteers working with the
Chelmsford Conservation Commission. It was es-
tablished in November 2005 by residents who enjoy
hiking, being productive and doing things outdoors.
While the Conservation Commission manages and
protects open space property in the town of Chelms-
ford, the Stewards maintain and improve the trail
systems within these open spaces - anything from
picking up trash and keeping the trails free of fallen
trees to replacing worn out bridges and kiosks. Stew-
ards provide a daily presence and ongoing mainte-
nance so these special properties can be enjoyed by
all.

Thaddeus J. Soule, Conservation Agent/Planner
During the year three Commissioners resigned,
Tony Omobono, Brian Reidy and William R. (Bob)
Greenwood, who served for five, eight, and twenty-
five years respectively. Tony Omobono 's service is
greatly valued and his engineering background con-
tributed significantly to the Commission's review of
wetlands applications. Brian Reidy 's dedication to
the Commission is appreciated and his professional
knowledge helped communicate complex on-the-
ground construction processes.
Bob Greenwood is a former Chair of the Commis-
sion and a longtime dedicated Town volunteer. He
previously worked for the Board of Health and
served on the Board of Sewer Commissioners. His
lifelong citizenship in Town, coupled with 25 years
of service to the Conservation Commission brought
consistent knowledge and deep local insight that
helped protect Chelmsford's wetlands and conserva-
tion lands. His fair approach to a good, constructive
discourse reinforces the Commission's belief that
companies and projects do not negotiate, people do.
People want to do what is right and best for Chelms-
ford's environment, but human beings have different
ideas about how to cooperatively achieve goals that
peaceably agree with environmental protection. Bob
Greenwood carried the tradition of preserving the
open public forum for the discussion of both goals
and concerns relative to the protection of Chelms-
ford's wetlands and waterways. The Commission is
deeply thankful for Bob Greenwood's service.
In February 2010 the Commission welcomed back
William Vines, who rejoined the Commission after
previously serving for ten years. In July 2010 Marc
Gibbs joined the Commission and one seat remains
open at the time of writing this report.
In FY2010 the Conservation Commission completed
its review and update of the Chelmsford Wetlands
Bylaw Regulations. The revised Regulations were

approved by the Commission in April 2010 and
complement the Bylaw that was approved by Town
Meeting in 2009. The Regulations address operating
procedures applicable to the Bylaw including perfor-
mance standards, application fees, and enforcement
procedures. New local wetland applications and
detailed instructions were included in the regulations
to streamline filing with the Commission and make
the application process consistent for all Applicants.
Both the Conservation Bylaw and Regulations are on

Phil Stan way and the volunteers of the Chelmsford
Open Space Stewardship (COSS), http://www.thech-
elmsfordian.com, continue to maintain and make
improvements to the Town's conservation reserva-
tions, Town forests, and other open spaces.
The Commission's Land Maintenance Donation
Fund established for the maintenance of conserva-
tion land grew significantly this past year thanks to
Joanne Stanway, who hosted the birthday party of
a lifetime for her husband, Lead Steward Phil Stan-
way. Donations increased the fund to over $5,000,
some of which was immediately employed to im-
prove the community gardens, accessible garden and
tree nursery located at Sunny Meadow Farm. The
Commission is very appreciative of this tremendous
gift to the Town, as well as the many other gifts in
kind from a number of groups and citizens in Town.
The volunteerism and "can do" attitude of the COSS
encourages more individuals to become involved
with Town-wide cleanups, and special projects, like
the restoration of the Westlands School Cynthia
Moores Memorial Park.
The Community Preservation Committee made
funds available for improvements and maintenance
to the Town's open space. Projects included the
construction of a multiuse trail connecting the Bruce
Freeman Rail Trail with a new parking area located
at Sunny Meadow Farm.
The Conservation Reservations have received gen-
erous help and support from the Scout Troops and
Eagle Scouts during the year. Various Scout groups
have used the reservation land at the Russell Mill
Pond and Forest Reservation and Red Wing Farm
Reservation. The Commission appreciates scouts
who complete civic projects that improve our com-
munity's use and enjoyment of open space, including
projects that improved the Chelmsford High School
Cross Country Trail and created eco-friendly bike
racks from locally reused cedar trees.
The COSS Annual Winter Tree Scavenger Hunt was
held on Conservation Reservations in December
2009. Many more groups participated this winter and
twelve teams completed the entire hunt. A special

thank you is given to the dedicated volunteers and
local organizations for decorating trees, including the
Town, which sponsored a tree at the Cranberry Bog.
The majority of the Conservation Commission's time
was devoted to wetlands protection and enforce-
ment of the State and local Wetlands Bylaws. The
Commission reviewed over 50 applications under
the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and
Chelmsford Wetlands Bylaw during FY2010. This
does not include Enforcement Orders, Conservation

The Community Preservation Act (CPA) provides
a source of funding for Open Space Preservation,
Historic Preservation and Affordable Housing. For
FY2010, approximately $1.05 million dollars was
collected under the CPA, a combination of property
tax surcharge and state matching funds.
The first $100,000 of property value is exempted
from the surcharge calculations lowering the sur-
charge for the typical residential homeowner to less
than $50. There are two full exemptions from the
CPA surcharge that can be applied for; Moderate in-
come Seniors (2009 - $70,720 - family of two), and
any property owner meeting the Low income limit
(2009- $70,720 - family of four).
Fall Town meeting saw the passage of a warrant
article that provided $50,000 of funding for Historic
Preservation at the Barrett-Byam House. The fund-
ing was used for structural repairs, a new roof for the
homestead, climate control for the Historic archives
museum, and a document scanning and storage sys-
tem.
Spring Town meeting brought the successful passage
of a number of CPA articles. North Town Hall will
be brought from its current vacant and gutted state to
a beautiful, useful and fully restored Historic mu-
nicipal building, complete with full handicap access.
$2.85 Million dollars of CPA funding was allocated
by Town Meeting for North Town Hall.
Town Hall will be fully rehabilitated, with a signifi-
cant new addition to the back of the building housing
an elevator that will allow full handicap access to all
three floors of the structure. $2.56 Million dollars
of CPA funding was allocated by Town Meeting for
Town Hall. In a separate warrant article, $25,000 of
funding was allocated for a theatrical lighting system
to make the second floor stage useful for theatrical
productions.
Affordable Housing will receive an important boost
with the addition of two new buildings: Eight units
of veterans housing on Manahan Street and five
units of family housing on Highland Ave. $400,000
was allocated for the Manahan Street project, and
$75,000 for the Highland Avenue project.
$80,000 of Open Space funding was voted by Town
Meeting for two recreation related projects at Sunny-
meadow Farm; Construction of a 32-space parking
lot for use by the Community Garden and for park-
ing for the popular Freeman Rail Trail; A bike trail
access from the parking lot to the Freeman Rail Trail

The membership of the Chelmsford School
Committee in April of 2009 included the following:
Mr. Angelo Taranto, Chair; Mrs. Evelyn Thoren, Vice
Chair; Mr. Nick DeSilvio, Secretary; and Members
at Large, Mrs. Kathy Duffett and Mr. Kevin Porter.
Central Administration for the Chelmsford School
Department included the following: Dr. Donald
R. Yeoman, Superintendent of Schools; Dr. Karen
Mazza, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum
and Instruction; Mr. Robert Cruickshank, Business
Manager; Mr. Bruce Forster, Director of Educational
Technology and Information Services, and Mrs.
Dory Toppan, Director of Personnel and Labor
Relations.
The School Committee approved the
Superintendent's recommendation in the spring
to reduce administrative positions by over
$200,000 to help balance the budget. Elimination
and consolidation of administrative positions
resulted in the remaining administrators taking on
additional responsibilities. The retirement of veteran
administrators created opportunities for promotion
for skillful district administrators ready to face
new and significant challenges. A new leadership
team was put in place by the Superintendent. This
new team included the following educators in
new positions: Dr. Frank Tiano (promoted from
McCarthy Principal to Assistant Superintendent
for Personnel); Ms. Donna Hussey (promoted from
Coordinator of English/Language Arts to Director
of Curriculum and Instruction); Ms. Anne O'Bryant
(promoted from Chelmsford High School Dean to
Chelmsford High School Principal); Mr. Michael
LaCava (promoted from Fine Arts Coordinator to
Chelmsford High School Dean); Mr. Kurt McPhee
School Committee as of April 2010 - Front row: Janet Askenburg, Kathy Duffett, Nick
DeSilvio. Back Row: Evelyn Thoren, Angie Taranto, Dr. Donald R. Yeoman
(promoted from McCarthy Middle School Assistant
Principal to McCarthy Principal); and Ms. Donna
Martin (promoted from Social Studies Coordinator to
McCarthy Middle School Assistant Principal).
In March veteran Business Manager Robert
Cruickshank retired. Kathleen McWilliams was
recruited, selected from a strong field of candidates,
and appointed to succeed Mr. Cruickshank in March
as Business Manager.
Ms. Hussey designed a Literacy Professional
Development Partnership grant proposal to train all
elementary professional staff in grades Kindergarten
through grade 4. Because of her great work, the
district was awarded $50,000 in training monies,
and the staff training has been a major component
in planning for increasing student achievement.
The district also formed a two-year partnership
with the school districts of Billerica, Westford, and
Tyngsborough to learn new specialized skills to help
struggling students succeed.

Monies awarded to the school district from the
town's Capital Projects Fund resulted in a modern
foreign language lab at Chelmsford High School.
A part of the award were monies for installation of
innovative interactive white boards in our schools.
These new learning tools will help ensure that our
students and our teachers learn to use cutting-edge
strategies to improve student achievement and
learning.
Our students continued to improve their overall
achievement as measured by the State of
Massachusetts' MCAS test with 13 of the 17 tests
in the top 11% to 26% in the state. The district also
received an MCAS Tutoring Grant to help struggling
students prepare for the test.
Once every ten years the New England Association
of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) visits Chelmsford
High School and examines and studies our programs,
students, staff, and facilities. Our staff have
diligently been preparing for this evaluation. Their
work and preparation will take a full two years. The
NEASC team will visit our district in the spring and
spend a week evaluating every component of our
program. This is the opportune time to highlight
the quality of our programs which lead to skillful
graduates.
During the summer 108 of our high school teachers
improved curricula in order to transition from a
semester schedule to a full school-year schedule.
This major modification resulted in the ability of
over 300 students to take more classes without an
increase in cost to the district. This schedule change
also allowed for more Advanced Placement courses
to be offered to our students as well.
Our Technology Department has accomplished much
this year as well. Cisco networking hardware has
been replaced with Enterasys hardware to increase
speed and reliability of network connections. All
school buildings were connected through fiber to
the Central Office which provided more reliable and
faster connections for all users. "Fat Pipes" were
installed to provide redundant and more efficient use
of Comcast Internet Connections, and the Comcast
internet connections were upgraded to Business
Class. The wireless project has begun and will
include 2 wireless access points per building.
Other projects included the opening of the X2
Family Portal in January 20 1 0 for parents of high
school students providing parents with real time
data regarding their child's attendance, term grade
and final grades. All servers were consolidated and
upgraded to Microsoft Server 2008 R2 providing
the school district with increased security and
manageability. Our Thin Client installation will also
eventually allow users to access their software and
documents from home or school.
For the past five years our staff members have been
training in anti-bullying techniques and designing
procedures to discourage and address bullying. In
fact, our School Improvement Plans include goals to
provide a healthy student environment by providing
professional development to prevent bullying and to
design effective intervention when bullying occurs.
Staff members of both our middle schools have also
been trained by the District Attorney's Office, funded
through our Safe and Drug Free Grant, to conduct
anti-cyber bullying training for staff and parents.
Parents and staff tell us these training sessions have
been most helpful to them.
The new state anti-bullying law is now in effect.
Soon districts will begin to mold their anti-bullying
plans around state regulations soon to be released.
Although administrators and staff members address
bullying issues nearly every day in each of our
nations schools, our five years of planning, training,
FY 2010 ANNUAL REPORT

and implementation of cutting-edge strategies will
be most helpful as we move to meet the new state
mandates.
Our students have also succeeded academically,
athletically, musically, theatrically, and scientifically
in so many measures of success this year. Their
reputation for challenge and success is nearly
unmatched across the state. I know you join with me
in congratulating them on their tremendous record of
achievement.
Many maintenance and custodial needs have been
addressed this year to improve our buildings and our
grounds. These initiatives have succeeded in not
only improving the appearance of our buildings and
grounds, but also in saving energy. Much thanks
goes to our maintenance and custodial teams for their
dedication as well.
I know you join with me in thanking our staff, our
parents, our citizens, and our government leaders for
their skill, sacrifice, and dedication to our students,
our town, our state, and our nation. Working
together we will overcome the challenges we face in
order to ensure that the next generation is prepared
to succeed. On behalf of the Chelmsford Public
Schools, thank you all for helping us make sure our
kids are ready for the future.

students grades 9-12 and also provides post-graduate
programs for those between the ages of 1 8 and
25 years old. Nashoba has earned an impressive

school schedule alternates one week of academic
classes with a week in a career-technical area for
grades 9 through 12.
The Year in Review
For the 2010-201 1 school year Nashoba has, as
most other districts, had to tighten our belts while
still striving to achieve our district goals. Thanks to
our ten year plan that began in 1999-2000 we were
able to achieve "all" our facility, technology, and
instructional goals with total fiscal responsibility.
This year all our classrooms are equipped with
direct video, clickers, LCD projectors, web casting
capability, smart boards, and finally our front
entrance is complete. This enables every teacher to
showcase 21st century teaching skills to all of our
students to prepare them for college and career.
We have maintained our focus on being fiscally and
environmentally responsible by installing this year
our second 100 km solar voltaic unit on our roof
to reduce the cost of our electricity in a "green"
way. Additionally, we installed on our new student
constructed concession stand a solar voltaic unit to
provide all heat and electricity. All of these projects
were completed at "no cost" to district taxpayers and
were fully funded through grants.
Nashoba continues to embrace educational

opportunities for our teachers as well by serving as
a satellite campus for many local colleges' graduate
programs.
As we enter a time of economic uncertainty I
can assure you that at Nashoba Valley Technical
High School students will still receive a technical
education of the highest quality with the most current
state-of-the-art equipment.

Community Service Projects
Nashoba is unique in its approach to community
service and its relationship to its district towns.
Students are expected to go with their instructors to
areas of our district to work on community service
projects that have been approved and selected for
their benefit to the community and the learning of
our students. The students perform necessary work
for the district towns. The Community Service
Project Program educates students in a real world
setting and allows the towns the benefit of viewing
Nashoba students at work and having a major project
completed without expending limited town resources
for capital improvement.

As a way of making residents and others more aware
of police activity that takes place in town, the de-
partment has joined Crime Reports.com, a link that
provides crime mapping technology by date, time,
type and location. In making this information more
accessible to the public, it is the police department's
belief that the safety and security of the town can be
enhanced. All costs associated with this report were
paid for by the Chelmsford Police Foundation.
The town also saw the official opening of the Bruce
Freeman Rail Trail in August of 2009. The police
department worked closely with the Friends of the
BFRT to implement measures to provide safety and
security for the users on the trail.
The police department utilizes officers on foot,
bicycle and motor cycle to conduct patrols on more
than six miles of the trail in Chelmsford.

emphasize community policing strategies and initia-
tives. Officers are encouraged to work in partnership
with the community, to address and resolve issues of
concern, and improve the overall quality of life for
those that live, work or visit Chelmsford.
The department continues to focus on priority areas
related to traffic, disturbance and nuisance issues,

ErikE. Merrill
Animal Control Officer
The Animal Control Officer responds to a variety of
animal and wildlife calls throughout the community.
Those calls involving public safety or public welfare
will be addressed by the Animal Control Officer. I
would like to remind all residents that calls such as
removal of animals from chimneys, under porches,
or inside attics must be handled by a private pest
control company.
I would like to also remind all pet owners that it is
their responsibility to insure that their pets are prop-
erly vaccinated and licensed. Also, all dogs must be
leashed or under strict control at all times, and all
waste must be picked up from all public and private
property. This especially pertains to town fields,
schools, conservation lands, and the bike path.
I would like to thank all the residents who have
donated food, blankets, towels, and supplies. We are
always in need of these items. I would like to thank
all the people who attended our rabies/microchip
clinic and programs that we have provided. Please
look for upcoming events.
I would like to thank the Town Manager, Board of
Selectmen, Police Department and all other town
departments for their support and assistance over the
last year.

Fire Department
John E. Parow
Fire Chief
Fiscal year 2010 proved to be the busiest year in the
history of the Chelmsford Fire Department. Total emer-
gency calls for FY 2010 were 5595 up 392 calls over last
year. Medical emergency calls accounted for over half
the calls at 2,868, fire calls totaled 143. Trends seemed
to remain constant, with emergency medical aid calls
increasing again this year by 54. Structure fire calls were
down this year, but resembled the numbers of the past five
years after a thirty percent increase anomaly 2009 over
2008.
Through the Town's Capital Plan the department received
a new pumping engine and a new rescue truck this year.
The much needed new apparatus replaces two vehicles
that were each 23 years old. We applied for and received
a federal grant to install a new, state of the art, breathing
air cascade system in the new rescue truck allowing us
to fill self contained breathing apparatus at the scene of a
fire. In addition, the department received a state grant to
hire three new firefighters. This is only a one year grant,
but has assisted us in regaining some of the manpower we
have lost over the last few years. Hopefully, the economic
condition of the town will improve over the coming year
and enable us to keep these firefighters working when the
grant runs out in March, 2011.
Deputy Chief Jim Sousa and Captain Jim Boermeester
retired during the past year taking with them 7 1 years of
combined experience. The department wishes both of
them a long and enjoyable retirement. We are forever
grateful for their service, dedication and contributions to
the Town and the department. The three new firefight-
ers hired, Garrett Walsh, Evan Boudreau and Chhunly
Prak are all military veterans and we thank them for their
service and wish them well in their new careers.
We continue to experience major structural problems with
the apparatus floor at the Center Fire Station. Although
f ^umo*
the floor has been stabilized with 13 wooden pillars, the
fix only serves as a temporary repair and buys us a little
time. An extensive study has been completed outlining
the need for a new center station and location. The Town
will need to keep this as a top priority and find a solution
in the very near future.
Although we do understand the fiscal restraints associated
with the town's budget, the cut backs in manning and the
permanent closing of Engine 5 has made it very difficult
for us to meet our mission of protecting life and property.
This reduction in resources has created an increased risk
to both the residents of Chelmsford and the firefighters.
During this year we have seen the calls for service in-
crease, response times increase and manpower shortages
at emergency scenes. It is our hope that when the financial
picture brightens, previous manning will be restored and
all five fire stations will once again be opened.
Lastly, this will be my seventeenth and final annual report
as I plan on retiring in October of this year. I have en-
joyed my sixteen plus years as Chief of Department and
would like to thank all members of the department, my
staff, the Town Manager, the Board of Selectmen and the
residents of the Town for their support over this time.

Recycling / Solid Waste
Jennifer Almeida
Recycling Coordinator
The Office of Recycling and Solid Waste works to
insure excellent trash and recycling services to the
residents of Chelmsford, to keep our trash tonnage
to a minimum while encouraging recycling, and to
insure that our solid waste and recycling programs
comply with state waste bans, local bylaws and other
relevant requirements. We assist residents who have
problems or questions related to recycling and solid
waste; educate residents about the importance of
recycling; promote composting, reuse and donation
options and other waste reduction programs; and
monitor the Town's waste and recycling contractors,
tonnages and costs. In addition, much of 2010 was
spent on planning for and securing new solid waste
and recycling collection contracts to start in FY201 1,
and preparing for the implementation of the new
contracts.
The office is staffed by a part time Recycling Coor-
dinator and a part time volunteer. The Office's work
is supported by the Chelmsford Recycling Com-
mittee - 2010 members included Norm Eisenmann,
Nancy Kaelin, Mark Gallagher, Marc Grant, Bonnie
Rankin, Jo Morse, Ron Goodner, Kathy Brough,
Marion Hamblett and Jeanette Moreau. The Com-
mittee relies on volunteers as well, and in 2010
Kristy Medina organized the Earth Fair and Glenn
Davison organized the volunteers for the town-wide
clean up.
Solid Waste and Recycling tonnages: In FY2010,
Chelmsford's trash tonnage was 12,882 - represent-
Mark Gallager, Jo Morse, Jennifer Almeida, Kathy Brough, Nancy
Kaelin, Marc Grant, Norm Eisenmann, not pictured: Bonnie Rankin,
Marion Hamblett and Jeanette Moreau,
ing the first increase in our annual tonnage since
2005. While the increase is relatively small (187
tons more than FY09), it is unfortunate as it comes
after five years of steady and significant declines.
Our annual recycling tonnage for FY 10 came in at
3719 - down from 3777 tons in FY09. This decline
may be due to the fact that far fewer residents today
subscribe to daily newspapers, a fact that appears to
be reducing recycling tonnages across Massachusetts
and the country.
Electronics/appliances/tires: The Town maintained
its contract with Appliance Recyclers, Inc. for the
fee-based curbside collection of appliances, electron-
ics, tires and large metal items. This program has run
very smoothly, providing residents with an afford-
able and convenient year-round option for recycling

Recycling / Solid Waste
waste banned items. In FY 10, Appliance Recyclers,
Inc. made about 1500 stops in Chelmsford, picked
up about 3000 items (white goods, electronics, large
metal items and tires) weighing over 100 tons. The
program continues to be widely used and the contract
has been renewed for another year with minor price
increases.
Drop-offs: Chelmsford held two brush drop-offs
and one household hazardous waste drop-off in
FY 10. The brush drop-offs were held at Community
Tree, staffed by Town employees and volunteers
(usually members of the Recycling Committee). The
fall event served 103 vehicle loads and the spring
event served 241 loads. The hazardous waste event
was staffed by Board of Health personnel and vol-
unteers. Residents who were unable to attend the
Town's HHW event had the option of going to the
Minuteman Household Products Facility in Lexing-
ton, and in FY2010, 60 residents registered through
the Recycling Office to attend that facility.
Mercury programs: The Recycling Office operates
the Town's mercury abatement programs, funded
by our combustion facility (Wheelabrator, N.A. in
FY2010) to keep mercury out of the trash. This pro-
gram consists of fluorescent light bulb collections,
thermometer exchanges, and thermostat and button
cell battery collections programs. We recycled many
thermometers, thermostats and blood pressure units
plus 3 pounds of elemental mercury; 9138 linear feet
of fluorescent bulbs, and over 600 other miscella-
neous mercury bulbs through this program last year.
Cell phone & rechargeable battery recycling:
Cell phones (along with their batteries and acces-
sories) are collected for recycling at the Chelmsford
Town Offices (Clerk's Office and Recycling Of-
fice). In FY 10 we recycled about 550 cell phones
and about 320 pounds of rechargeable batteries for
recycling.
Education and outreach: The Recycling Office
published the annual "Chelmsford Recycles" flyer,
a comprehensive description and "how to" guide
on recycling and solid waste in Chelmsford. The
flyer was mailed to all households in late June. The
Recycling Office also maintained and updated the
recycling portion of the Town's website (www.
townofchelmsford.us/Recycling-Department.cfm).
Recycling volunteer Marion Hamblett, working with
the Recycling Office and the Recycling Commit-
tee, continued to maintain and update the Recycling
Committee's website, www.chelmsfordrecycles.org,
to provide an easy to find and easy to use website for
residents with recycling questions. The Recycling
Office also updated Chelmsford's local access televi-
sion station's community bulletin board notices,
made appearances on local cable access television
programs to update the community about the Office's
work and about upcoming changes in the recycling

Recycling / Solid Waste
and solid waste programs, and submitted informa-
tional pieces on recycling and solid waste programs
for publication in the Town's Community Newslet-
ters as well as in the Chelmsford Independent and
the Lowell Sun.
Compost bins: The Recycling Office sells compost
bins below cost to Chelmsford residents to encour-
age composting of kitchen scraps and yard waste.
The MA DEP estimates an average household can
compost between 500 and 1,000 pounds of organic
material each year in one of these bins, producing a
rich soil supplement out of material that would other-
wise be thrown away. Diverting this material out of
the waste stream results in a significant reduction in
trash and thus significant savings for the Town. In
2010 we sold 68 compost bins.
Rain barrels: Although MA DEP did not fund any
rain barrel grant assistance in FY 10, the Recycling
Office again worked with the New England Rain
Barrel Company to make discounted rain barrels
available for purchase in the spring. Residents who
signed up in advance were able to purchase rain bar-
rels at below retail costs, and we had a distribution
day behind the Town Offices in mid- April. The pro-
gram was publicized in local papers, on the website,
and on the Chelmsford community bulletin board,
was well received and will be repeated again in the
spring.
Recycling Committee Activities: Among many
other activities, the Recycling Committee organized
a large number of volunteers to improve bottle and
can recycling at the Country Fair in July 2009; con-
tinued the "Recycling Champion" program; spon-
sored another poster and essay contest recognizing
America Recycles Day (November 15) for school
age children; and assisted with the planning and
implementation of the town-wide litter clean up and
Earth Fair.

Eric Dahlberg
The Greener Chelmsford Initiative is a program
which recognizes the efforts of Chelmsford busi-
nesses and organizations that are taking steps to
become environmentally friendly in their practices,
and implementing continuous improvement strate-
gies to sustain these practices. When a business has
demonstrated its commitment to the environment, we
are pleased to present a Seal of Approval in recogni-
tion of that accomplishment.
During the past year, awards have been presented to
Chelmsford Copy and Secretarial, the Chelmsford
Housing Authority, and the Best Western Chelms-
ford Inn. In addition, we have recognized Enterprise
Bank, not only for their efforts to improve the envi-
ronment, but also for their commitment, as a partner
with GCI, to encourage local businesses to promote
sustainable measures.
Among the initiatives that we have witnessed in-
clude installation of energy-efficient lighting fixtures,
reduced and recycled use of resources, more efficient
heating/cooling equipment and practices, use of non-
toxic cleaning products, and purchasing from local
suppliers.
Any local business or organization that wishes to
be considered for a GCI award should complete the
application on the Town of Chelmsford website. We
welcome creative ideas that apply the three main
goals of environmental sustainability: reduce, recycle
reuse.

The Cemetery Commission is pleased to report the
following accomplishments for Fiscal Year 2010, to
the citizens of Chelmsford.
At Pine Ridge Cemetery, we have two new sections
available for sale; Section M, which contains the
Cremation Garden and Niche Wall, plans are under
way to construct a second Niche Wall this Fall; the
walls provide an area for the above ground In-Urn-
ment of Cremated remains, with each Niche contain-
ing enough space for two sets of cremains. The other
section available at Pine Ridge is Section N, which is
now available for sale; this area includes traditional
earth burials along with earth burial lots specifically
for cremation.
Due to the generosity of many lot owners the Cem-
etery Commission was able to plant approximately
15 new trees throughout Pine Ridge and Heart Pond
Cemeteries.
Throughout the year, as time allows, we continue our
program to safety prune any trees that need attention
at the Towns six cemeteries. During the past winter
season, Cemetery personnel completed the renova-
tion of the office at Pine Ridge Cemetery, also all
of the service garage doors have been updated to
conserve energy.

Healthy Chelmsford
In the fall of 2009 the Town of Chelmsford formed
a coalition called Healthy Chelmsford. Its mission
statement: A Community partnership striving to help
improve health, well-being, and quality of life. Our
coalition consists of representatives from many of
our town departments, as well as community part-
ners from Lowell General Hospital, Saints Memorial
Medical Center, Trinity Ambulance, Bicycle Pedes-
trian Advisory Committee, Chelmsford Business As-
sociation, residents, and student representatives from
LIVESMART . Four members of our group attended
The Massachusetts Forum for Creating Healthier
Communities, a training program that promotes an
opportunity for learning and positive change.
One of our first initiatives consisted of having a
Healthy Chelmsford Wellness Fair in May, 2010.
This Wellness Fair offered free activities for all ages
and encouraged everyone to participate in fitness
demonstrations. Educational information was provid-
ed on the prevention of many chronic illnesses. Free
adult tetanus and pneumonia vaccines were offered.
The event also promoted the enjoyment of relaxation
techniques, and alternative medicine methods for
wellness. Attendance was good for a first event.
As a follow up to this event the Board of Health
was able to work with a student intern to create a
survey for adults on what they would like to see
in our community to assure that we are a healthy
community. These surveys were distributed at a 4th
of July annual event and the data was calculated
for us to evaluate. A separate survey was developed
for middle and high school students which we are
hoping to distribute by collaborating with the school
department health education coordinator.
able for all residents.
Healthy Chelmsford members have participated in
forums that have been hosted by the City of Lowell
around Opiate Overdose awareness and preven-
tion. We realize as a group that drug addiction has
no boundaries from one city or town to the next.
Chelmsford, like communities around us has an
issue with opiate addiction and we need to educate
our community about this problem. In collabora-
tion with the Lowell Health Department, members
of Healthy Chelmsford attended a Substance Abuse
Prevention training program and are planning on
bringing this program into the schools as well as into
the community. The first event to promote awareness
of opiate abuse is scheduled for November, 2010.
Also planned are several educational programs for
students on substance abuse awareness which will be
held during health classes.
Healthy Chelmsford has also helped to advertise our
Bruce Freeman Rail Trail and created a brochure
with information on several walking paths through-
out all areas of town. This brochure is widely avail-

Council on Aging & Elder Services
Diana Ryder
Human Services Director
The Elder Services/Council on Aging is the depart-
ment primarily responsible for linking older adult
needs with resources. Our role as a diverse and
multi-functional organization is constantly changing
to meet the needs of the adult population it serves.
Our mission is to provide advocacy and support
systems for adult citizens, focusing on issues of ag-
ing by working with them toward the ultimate goal
of maintaining independence, improvement of their
quality of life, and preparation for life change. The
Board's eleven members, appointed by the Town
Manager, and staff members address the needs and
concerns of the Chelmsford 9,000+ older adults and
their families.
The Wellness programs and services provided by the
CO A strive to: support frail elders in their homes;
provide information and assistance to families mak-
ing life change decisions concerning elder family
members; provide some supportive services for
disabled of all ages; empowering consumers; and,
provide preventive health programming, advocacy,
education, social, and leisure opportunities for active
adults. Fostering a sense of community and involve-
ment through shared experiences guides the Coun-
cil's activity.
Most programs and services are provided at the
Chelmsford Senior Center. Our high level of activ-
ity would not be possible if not for the 253 volun-
teers who donated over 16,875 hours of their time,
saving the Town $250,93 1 in services and support.
Additionally, the Merrimack Valley Visiting Nurse
Association, Inc., Merrimack Valley Elder Services,
Merrimack Valley Legal Project, Community Team-
work's RSVP program, several Assisted Living
communities, and many doctors and other health care
professionals, local agencies and other town depart-
ments also provided "in-kind" services to benefit our
older residents.
What Was New in FY2010?
We documented 26,500 visits by consumers to the
senior center to participate in programs or receive
services.
The COA department provided 48, 452 units of
service to 3,192 individuals in FY01. The Executive

and celebrated the Senior Center's 20th Birthday.
In the coming year we will continue to advocate for
seniors: against further decimation of health benefits
through Medicare and Medigap policies; continue
to gather information from Chelmsford's seniors
regarding their needs; continue the senior center ac-
creditation process; and, continue assisting seniors
and families in providing services that will assist
them "Aging in Place" safely in their homes.
We want to especially thank outgoing Board mem-
bers for their service. Those who have completed
their service this year are: Paul Sweeney, Diana
Boisvert, Hank McCall, and Enid Rocha. We wish
them the best in their future endeavors.
The Chelmsford COA is challenged to offer service
and support to a rapidly growing population with the
accompanying budget cuts and state of the economy.
We welcome input from the community and encour-
age your comments, suggestions or complaints, as
well as, participation.

Veterans ' Services
Regina Jackson
Veterans 'Agent
The Chelmsford Veterans' Services Office provides
short-term financial assistance to eligible veterans and
their families as mandated by Massachusetts General Law
Chapter 115. The Chapter 1 1 5 program is a public as-
sistance program run by the State. We can assist eligible,
needy veterans with a monthly allowable grant and some
medical coverage. The amount of assistance depends on
the budget standards set by the Commonwealth of Mas-
sachusetts Department of Veterans' Service. The State
will reimburse Chelmsford for 75% of authorized benefits
paid out.
In fiscal year 2010 Chelmsford paid out $90,754.00 to
1 8 veterans and widows/ surviving spouses eligible for
the Chapter 115 assistance. The benefit is paid out on a
monthly basis. The Town will get back $68,064.00 of
that amount. This is the maximum 75% reimbursement
allowed by the State. In FY' 10 we had more veterans /
widows seeking assistance for longer periods of time. The
Chapter 1 1 5 program provides a limited safety net for
veterans from the State & Town.
Federal VA benefits can have a more significant impact
for the veteran and the community. The number of vet-
erans eligible for Federal VA benefits is always a small
percentage of the total number of veterans in the commu-
nity. Almost all VA benefits must be applied for - they are
not automatic. This office helps any Chelmsford veteran
dealing with the VA claims process. The claims may be
an initial filing, reopen a disability claim for increase,
appeals on denied claims, hearings with the Regional
Office or hearings before the Board of Veterans Appeals.
The VA periodically takes a 'snapshot' of the total amount
of Federal Veterans benefits that flow into a commu-
nity. The latest figures are from 12/2009. The amount of
Federal VA money that flows annually into Chelmsford is
$4,109,616.00 as disbursed to 325 Veterans and 99 wid-
ows/ surviving family members living in Chelmsford.
This office also processes applications for State Veterans'
Bonuses and Annuities, the latest being the 'Welcome
Home Bonus'. Also there have been some significant
positive changes in some of the property tax exemptions
affecting veterans and their surviving spouses (specifical-
ly clause 22D). Working with the Chelmsford Assessors
office we are attempting to identify the eligible homeown-
er taxpayers in Chelmsford. We are also working closely
with the Chelmsford Housing Authority to address the
housing needs of our veterans.
Our office coordinates the Chelmsford Veterans Day
Observance, which is always held at Veterans' Memorial
Park on the 1 1th of November at 1 1 :00AM ( 1 1/1 1 at 1 1 ).
All are welcome!
Veterans' Services is located at Town Offices, 50 Billerica
Road. The office is open Monday through Friday 9:00AM
- 5:00PM, evening hours are also available. If you are un-
able to visit the office, please call and I would be happy to
schedule a home visit. 978-250-5238, rjackson@townof-

Chelmsford Housing A uthority
David Hedison
Director
The Chelmsford Housing Authority continues to make
progress in meeting the needs of families, seniors and the
disabled in need of affordable housing. This year we be-
gan construction on our new CHOICE Center that will be
home to at least 42 seniors. In addition, we have secured
funding for five new family housing units, 8 new units of
veterans housing and have applied for an additional 1 00
units of Section 8. Our agency continues to grow to meet
the increased need for affordable housing in Chelmsford.
Currently, there are over 150 applicants on the waiting list
for senior housing. Our senior housing locations are lo-
cated at McFarlin Manor - 10 Wilson Street, Chelmsford
Arms - 1 Smith Street, Delaney Terrace - 8 Sheila Ave
and North Village - 20 Sheila Ave. We currently offer
case management, adult day health, beauty parlors, clus-
tered home care services, meals programs and in some
locations 24/7 staffing. We have been selected as one of
the fifteen agencies in the United States that will be part
of the Collage Project. The Collage Project will entail the
collection of very detailed information from the current
tenants and generate a detailed service plan that will assist
our agency in securing funds from numerous foundations.
This international project is groundbreaking and the fact
that our agency was selected as one of the participants is
quite exciting.
The Section 8 Program assists over 556 families/elderly/
disabled in the area with rental assistance to live in a pri-
vate apartment. We have placed Section 8 Vouchers into
The Kensington, Princeton Commons and The Meadows
to make the rental units truly affordable. The waiting
list for one of these units is in excess of three years. The
waiting list for Section 8 is over 7 to 10 years. We have
over 1 , 1 00 applicants that have a local preference. We
continue to provide the Family Self Sufficiency Program
and help over 30 families improve their education and
skills with the hopes of moving them towards homeown-
ership.
The Authority serves as the Management Agent to the
Town for monitoring the Affordable Homeownership
Units and Affordable Rental Units located in Chelmsford.
We have had less than 8 re-sales over the past year. We
continue to play a significant role in making sure any
proposed 40B projects are truly affordable to the residents
of Chelmsford.
Members of the staff include David J. Hedison, Execu-
tive Director, Connie Donahue, Deputy Director, Kristin
Roberts, Finance Manager and twelve additional staff
members. Regular meetings are held at McFarlin Manor,
10 Wilson Street at 5:00 p.m., on the first Monday each
month. The Annual Meeting is the first Monday in May.
All meetings are open to the public. The Chelmsford
Housing Authority Board of Commissioners would like to
thank the residents of Chelmsford and Town Officials for
their continued support and cooperation.

Arts & Technology Education Fund
Kirk Marshall
Chairman
The 1 996 Spring Town Meeting approved an amendment
to their General By-Laws by adding Section 13 to Article
VII entitled Chelmsford Arts and Technology Education
Funds ( ATEF) through the combined efforts of Evelyn
Thoren and George Ripsom. The purpose of this fund is
to provide supplemental funding to support local educa-
tional initiatives and projects. Thanks to your generosity
and support the ATEF has received over $70,000 since its
inception in November 1996. The committee is currently
working on investment strategies and researching other
financial resources in order to create a lasting fund and
insure continued and consistent awards. The ATEF has
developed a website that makes all our applications and
information available at the Town of Chelmsford website.
Chelmsford is the first town to have a By-Law in place
that specifies the application process, committee make-up
and limitations. The Spring Town Meeting 2006 approved
the first amendment to the By-Law by adding an addi-
tional two members to the committee. The Spring 2010
Applications and copies of the applications along with the
By-Law were distributed in January 2010 to each school
through hard copy and email. The committee received
completed applications by March 31, 2010. Teach-
ers and School Councils apply for these funds. Project
Summary forms are required from current and previous
awardees prior to consideration for any additional future
new projects. Awards were announced at the Board of
Selectmen's Meeting in June 2010. The next applications
will be distributed in January 201 1 and the deadline for
the next academic year is March 31,2011. The concept
of using tax check-offs for an alternative funding source
for education was initiated by Arlington's veteran Town
Treasurer, John Bilafer, under a Home Rule Petition many
years ago. Since this was accepted, numerous towns
in Massachusetts have adopted the statute Chapter 60.
Chelmsford became involved in the process of adopting
Chapter 60 through the efforts of Anthony Volpe, a past
member of the Chelmsford School Committee. Chelms-
ford uses a separate tear-off sheet in the excise and real
estate tax bills as the method to elicit voluntary contri-
butions to enhance the education of Chelmsford Public
School students. The collected money does not become
part of the school budget. The Town Treasurer disperses
the funds under the direction of the ATEF Committee.
Information sheets are available in the Town Offices.
The contributions that you give have and will continue to
make a difference in the education of our children . . . our
future taxpayers.

Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee
Thomas Gazda, Chairman
Bruce Freeman
Rail Trail
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee was
formed to work to improve bicycling and pedestrian
conditions in the Town of Chelmsford. Its long-term goal
is to help make Chelmsford a bicycle and pedestrian
friendly community where users of motorized and non-
motorized means of transportation can safely share the
roads in town. The Committee has continued the work
from its first year in a number of areas.
The four elementary schools were signed up to the Safe
Routes to Schools Program in the previous year and ef-
forts continued to bring the two middles schools on board.
This program, managed by the Massachusetts Executive
Office of Transportation, promotes healthy alternatives
for children and parents in their travel to and from school.
It educates students, parents and community members
on the value of walking and bicycling for travel to and
from school. Going forward, BPAC will be working with
the schools to identify grant opportunities through this
program that can support bicycle and pedestrian related
initiatives and amenities that enhance the safety of side-
walks and crossings so that more school children will be
able to walk or ride bicycles to get to school.
The committee is also working to identify other types
of grant opportunities that the Town can pursue and use
to fund improvements to bicycle and pedestrian ameni-
ties in Town. These could include sidewalk construction,
crosswalk improvement and pedestrian signage and signal
improvements. A committee member has completed a
grant writing course that will help the committee more
effectively research grant opportunities that might be ap-
plied for and to assist in preparation of grant submissions
either by the committee or appropriate town departments.
BPAC has applied for and was successful in obtaining a
grant of 125 helmets from the Massachusetts Executive
Office of Public Safety and Security - Highway Safety
Division. The helmets will be distributed to bicycle riders
who do not have a helmet in mid summer 2010 to encour-
age safe riding of bicycles and protect against injuries in a
fall or collision.
During the year, the BPAC submitted input on a several
projects to the appropriate Boards and Town Departments
concerning new developments and the creation of new fa-
cilities on Town owned property. BPAC advised the Plan-
ning Board to require the developer of an office building
in the Town Center to incorporate bicycle racks into the
plan, given its proximity to the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail
as a means to encourage the use of non-motorized trans-
portation to reach this building. BPAC also endorsed a
Planning Board initiative to connect this property to the
Old Town Hall Parking lot, creating an off-road means of
access to the property. The committee also offered input
including bicycle rack recommendations regarding the
construction of a parking lot at Sunny Meadow Farm and
safety and motor vehicle restrictions for a connecting path
from this lot and Robin Hill Road to the Rail Trail. Initial
PAGE 120

input has also been provided to the Permanent Building
Committee requesting consideration of the incorporation
of bicycle racks into the plans for restoring the Old Town
Hall in Chelmsford Center and the Town Hall in North
Chelmsford.
The committee maintains a web page on the Town
website at http://www.townofchelmsford.us/Bicycle.cfm
with valuable information and important links related to
bicycle and pedestrian issues, rules, safety guidelines and
various activities. Monthly publication of the Steps &
Spokes column in the Chelmsford Independent has been
continued to provide residents with valuable and timely
information related to bicycle and pedestrian issues,
including safety, bicycle maintenance, appropriate dress
for visibility, construction projects, and the Rail Trail. In
addition, the Committee has placed articles of interest in
the quarterly Community Newsletter published by the
Community Education Department.
The Committee has also been active in contributing to
the revision of the Town's Master Plan. In particular, the
committee contributed numerous recommendations to
the Transportation section of the plan. The goal of the
committee is to be sure that the Revised Master Plan for
the next 1 0 years and beyond gives significant attention to
alternative forms of transportation with plans to promote
non-motorized modes of transportation. This includes im-
proving sidewalks and crosswalks, providing pedestrian
links between commercial and residential properties and
encouraging the village concept, particularly in the town
centers.
Many activities have been undertaken regarding the
Bruce Freeman Rail Trail as BPAC has a role to coordi-
nate maintenance and policing the trail. Efforts included
the establishment of Trail Rules and coordination of the
manufacture and installation of Rules Signage at key
locations on the Trail and working with the Department of
Public Works to address safety and maintenance inci-
dents as they occur. The committee also spearheaded an
effort to create an Event Registration process for groups
of more than 25 participants wanting to use the trail for
organized events. Other activities included organizing
and participating in fall and spring trail counts to docu-
ment the level of trail usage, addressing signage, crossing
and safety issues at key trail intersections, particularly in
Chelmsford Center and near Fletcher Street.
For the coming year, the Committee will continue its
efforts to add the middle schools to the Safe Routes to
Schools program, development and documentation of
bike routes, and completing its input to the updating of
the Town's Master Plan. This plan is expected to include
the recommendation for the formation of a detailed Bi-
cycle and Pedestrian Plan for the Town and the committee
expects to play a major role in this effort. The committee
will also continue to respond to resident concerns regard-
ing bicycle and pedestrian safety and monitor issues
related to the operation of town roads and the installation
and maintenance of sidewalks, crosswalks and signage
with the goal of enhancing bicycle and pedestrian safety
in the Town. The committee will also be investigating op-
portunities to assist in bringing grant money to the Town
that can be used for improving bicycle and pedestrian
amenities and safety.
The BPAC thanks the Town Manager, Board of Select-
men, Town Engineering Department, Department of
Public Works and all town officials for their continuing
support of this committee and its efforts.

The Chelmsford Parade Committee, Inc. recently
coordinated their fourth Independence Day Parade
for the Town of Chelmsford, and it was a great day!
Co-chairs, Jeff Hardy and Brian Reidy, along with
committee members: Jim Cullen, Bill Dalton, Mark
Duffy, Janet Granata, Hank Hamelin, Doug Hausler,
Clare Jeannotte, Kathy Kelley, Shirley Kimball, Joan
Lessard, Chuck Marcella, Lynn Marcella, Barbara
Porter, Rick Romano, Steve Simone and our liaison,
Town Manager Paul Cohen, started work on the pa-
rade last September!
Again this year we had cash raffle with prizes of
$1,000; $500; and 5 - $100 prizes and again this year
the support from the community was phenomenal
with thousands of tickets returned! We also had
a Sports Extravaganza Raffle in which the winner
got: 2 - Red Sox tickets; 2 - Boston Bruins tickets;
2 - Boston Celtics tickets; 2 - New England Patri-
ots tickets and 2 - New England Revolution tickets!
The winners were all from Chelmsford and included:
Sports Raffle - Bernadette Gilet; $1,000 - Beth
Benoit; $500 - Bob Devaney; $100 - Elaine Ham-
wey; $100 - Joseph Carelli; $100 - Barry & Sharon
Bishop; $100 - D. Rand and $100 - Paul Rigazio.
The Parade Marshal this year was Dr. Stuart Weis-
feldt. Dr. Weisfeldt served on the board of selectmen
and has been involved in many other community
activities, too numerous to mention! People have
been heard to say he delivered half the residents of
Chelmsford! Congratulations, Dr. Weisfeldt!
The Chelmsford Business Association float this year
was a flatbed truck decorated with flags and bunting
carrying our own Parade Co-Chair Jeff Hardy and
his band "Joe's Attic"! The band sounded great in
the parade and played a couple of numbers after the
parade before we had the raffles.
New to the parade this year was the Eclairs Drum
and Bugle Corp. from Canada. Chelmsford's own
Rick Larrimore who does a terrific Rod Stewart im-
personation was back again by popular demand!
The creative side certainly came out in our commu-
nity with a wide variety of floats that were created
by local cub scouts, businesses and non-profit orga-
nizations. Prizes were awarded for first, second, and
third.
Many Veteran groups participated this year by
marching and riding on floats. Some of these in-
cluded soldiers from local American Legion posts,
Korean War Veterans, Vietnam Veterans, U.S. Ma-
rine Corps., Army National Guard and members of
several Medical Reserve Corps.
Another first for us! Newly elected U.S. Senator

Scott Brown was in the parade. We believe it was
the first time a U.S. Senator was in our parade - he
was great and spent lots of time shaking hands and
having pictures taken. Being an election year, we
also had quite a large group of candidates for many
local and state positions in the parade also.
This year we held a Chelmsford Idol contest,
"Chelmsford Stars Come 4th" at the Performing Arts
Center at Chelmsford High School, to determine who
would sing during the activities on the 4th and 5th of
July. Congratulations to the winners in the three age
categories: High School (a tie!): Pepa Salvia and
trio Courtney L'Hussier, Amanda L'Hussier & Alison
Moran; Middle School: Gabriella Huggler (she won
last year also!) and Elementary: Sachi Badola. We
were amazed at the talent in our town! Hopefully
this will continue to be an annual event! Thanks to

It was a dark and stormy night. . . the wind was howling,
the waves were crashing on the rocks - the patients in the
insane asylum were restless. A typical night at the library?
Not exactly. . . but over the last year Chelmsford Library
patrons were transported to just such a setting as they
read- "Shutter Island" by Dennis Lehane, the One Book
Chelmsford community reading selection. This was our
fourth town-wide reading program and all of Lehane's
works - including "Mystic River", "Gone, Baby, Gone"
and "Any Given Day" proved very popular. In June, we
were fortunate to host author Dennis Lehane for a crowd
of 600 enthusiastic fans at the Chelmsford Performing
Arts Center. (For more details or to nominate a title for
this coming year's program, check out the library website
at www.chelmsfordlibrary.org) - Other programs related
to One Book Chelmsford included: CSI Chelmsford, a
talk about the Boston Harbor Islands, a program on writ-
ing killer mysteries and a lecture on crime novelists.
In addition to the One Book activities, 800 programs were
offered over the course of the year beginning with our
Worldwide Wednesday music series at MacKay that fea-
tured gospel, Japanese drumming, music from the Andes
and the popular Grupo Fantasia - a salsa band. Our art
and music receptions are still a favorite with our patrons.
This year we not only hosted individual artists and local
organizations, we also collaborated with area organiza-
tions such as the Chelmsford Art Society and the Golden
Chain Garden club. We also (for the second time) hosted
the congressional art show for the Fifth District. We
worked with the MA Municipal Association on an energy-
saving seminar. We collaborated with the Chelmsford
School District's music department for a series of student
concerts. We had three special genealogy programs, a
topic that continues to fill the house. We responded to
community needs by joining forces with The Techni-
cal Skills Share Group that is working with high tech
professionals in job transition to share and update their
skills. We continue to work with the Chelmsford Cultural
Council, hosting their grant-funded programs and with
the newly-formed Chelmsford Center for the Arts to bring
collaborative arts programming to the Chelmsford com-
munity.
We partnered with the Lowell Poetry Network to spon-
sor three programs —renowned poets - Jack McCarthy,
Tom Daley and performance poet Michael Mack. We
were also one of the partners of the Massachusetts Poetry
Festival. One of our traditional activities - story time got
a new spin on it this year when library staffers from the
public and school libraries filmed half hour story times
with the help of Chelmsford Telemedia. Tune in to Chan-
nel 22 on Sunday through Thursday at 7 PM and check it
out! We also worked with Chelmsford Telemedia to film a
show called "The Magic of Story," showcasing the talents
of an afterschool storytelling troupe - watch for these
shows this fall or check them out at the library. We will
have copies available.
Additional improvements to service include:
An upgrade to our WiFi to provide more reliable ac-
cess in all rooms of the Main Library and at Mackay.
Ebooks are now available in addition to the down-
loadable audio books on our Overdrive subscription.

rooms were used 1 ,966 times in the past year.
This past year library staffer Brian Herzog, Head of the
Reference Department was recognized as one of the
"Movers and Shakers" in the library world by the national
publication "Library Journal."
The Chelmsford Public Library and the Chelmsford
Friends of the Library were also recognized for the
Friends-sponsored "Clean and Green" series highlighting
sustainable living— co-sponsored by the town's Recy-
cling Department and Chelmsford CAN — a chapter of
MCAN -Mass Climate Action Network. The library and
the Friends received a $5000 grant from Constellation
Energy. It will be used to secure additional speakers on
everything from global warming to Project Laundry for
the popular series. Our "Now It's Your Turn" reader's
advisory grant spawned a series of brown bag lunch
get-togethers where patrons and library staff shared book
recommendations. The grant was such a success that we
are continuing this idea on a quarterly basis, with funding
from the Friends of the Library as needed. Other grants
include: a Bill Gates Foundation grant awarded to up-
grade computers at the MacKay Library and a Cultural
Council grant to purchase indexing software. With the
software, we will undertake the next phase of the town-
wide history project documenting collections of town and
community groups and organizations.
Grants are only part of the story. The Friends of the
Library contributed their share by raising a little over
$27,000 in their annual September book sale. This is
greatly appreciated, as the Friends fund all of our pro-
grams, activities, author visits, lectures, musicians, magi-
cians, puppeteers and storytellers. There is no municipal
budget for these items.
With the continuing budget crunch, we were especially
grateful for the 241 volunteers who worked 5,804 hours
for us - the volunteer hours really do make a difference,
especially on a busy day! In addition to working at the
book sale, helping with displays, shelving books, deliver-
ing books to nursing homes and helping with children's
craft activities - a group of volunteers has also been help-
ing add more and more historical information to Chelms-
fordhistory.org, the website of Chelmsford's Town-wide
History. A warm thank you goes out to all who share their
time with us. We very much appreciate it!
