BOARDS  &  COMMITTEES 


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.

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.

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

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 


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

issued  there  under,  the  DPW  may  seek  injunctive

ment or  remediation  of  the  violation. 


8.2:  Orders. 

A.  The  DPW  or  its  authorized  agent  may  issue  a 
written  order  to  enforce  the  provisions  of  this  By-law 
or  the  regulations  hereunder,  at  the  expense  of  the 
violator  or  property  owner  which  may  include:  a) 
elimination  of  illicit  connections  or  discharges  to  the 
MS4;  b)  performance  of  monitoring,  analyses,  and 
reporting;  c)  that  unlawful  discharges,  practices,  or 
operations  shall  cease  and  desist;  and  d)  remediation 
of  contamination  in  connection  therewith. 

B.  If  the  enforcing  agent  determines  that  abate- 
ment or  remediation  of  contamination  if  required, 
the  order  shall  set  forth  a  deadline  by  which  such 
abatement  or  remediation  must  be  completed.  Said 
order  shall  further  advise  that  should  the  violator  or 
property  owner  fail  to  abate  or  perform  remediation 
within  the  specified  deadlines,  the  Town  of  Chelms- 
ford may,  at  its  option,  undertake  such  work,  and 
expenses  thereof  shall  be  charged  to  the  violator. 

C.  Within  thirty  (30)  days  after  completing  all  mea- 
sures necessary  to  abate  the  violation  or  to  perform 
remediation,  the  violator  and  the  property  owner 
will  be  notified  of  the  costs  incurred  by  the  Town 
of  Chelmsford,  including  administrative  costs.  The 
violator  or  property  owner  may  file  a  written  protest 
objecting  to  the  amount  or  basis  of  costs  with  the 
DPW  within  thirty  (30)  days  of  receipt  of  the  notifi- 
cation of  the  costs  incurred.  If  the  amount  due  is  not 
received  by  the  expiration  of  the  time  in  which  to  file 
a  protest  or  within  thirty  (30)  days  following  a  deci- 
sion of  the  DPW  affirming  or  reducing  the  costs,  or 
from  a  final  decision  of  a  court  of  competent  juris- 
diction, the  costs  shall  become  a  special  assessment 
against  the  property  owner  and  shall  constitute  a  lien 
on  the  owner's  property  for  the  amount  of  said  costs. 
Interest  shall  begin  to  accrue  on  any  unpaid  costs  at 
the  statutory  rate  provided  in  G.L.  Ch.  59,  57  after 
the  thirty-first  day  at  which  the  costs  first  become 
due.

be  a  $200  fine.  The  penalty  for  the  third  and  subse-

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 

Site  Plans  1 

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

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.

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

The  Board  of  Appeals  hears  petitions  for  Variances, 
Special  Permits,  Comprehensive  Permits,  and  ap- 
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 

Phil  Stanway 
Lead  Steward 


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

continued 


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 
the  Commission's  website:

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

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

Chairman 


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  CPC  thanks  Selectman  Clare  Jeannotte  for  her 
year  of  membership  on  the  Committee.  The  CPC 
welcomes  Selectman  Jon  Kurland  to  the  Committee.

Cynthia  Acheson 
Chairman 


During  the  past  year,  the  Historical  Commission  has 
continued  to  inventory  selected  historic  structures 
and  sites  over  75  years  old,  and  supplied  historic 
marker  signs  to  homeowners  within  the  inventory 
who  desired  one.  These  inventories  are  placed  on  file 
locally  and  with  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Com- 
mission, and  are  also  placed  on-line  at  http://www. 
chelmsfordgov.com/CHCwebsite/index.htm.  This 
website  is  loaded  with  historical  features  and  photo- 
graphs of  interest  to  any  Chelmsford  resident. 

The  Commission  continues  to  be  very  involved  with 
preservation,  and  is  an  information  resource  for  con- 
tractors and  citizens  as  they  rehabilitate  their  homes 
and  places  of  business.  The  Demolition  Delay  Bylaw 
is  a  tool  used  by  the  Building  Inspector  and  Histori- 
cal Commission  to  educate  owners  of  historic  prop- 
erties about  options  to  demolition.  An  update  to  the 
Bylaw  went  into  effect  on  February  25,  2009,  and  is 
available  on  the  website. 

The  Historical  Commission  is  actively  planning  sta- 
bilization and  restoration  work  on  the  1 802  School 
House  next  to  the  Forefathers'  Cemetery,  using 
funds  from  the  Community  Preservation  Committee 
(CPC).

Donald  R.  Yeoman,  Ed.D. 
Superintendent  of  Schools 

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,

Chelmsford  Public  Schools 

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.

Dr.  Judith  L.  Klimkiewicz 
Superintendent 


Nashoba  Valley  Technical  High  School  is  a  regional 
technical  high  school  established  in  1969  to  serve 
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 
reputation  for  producing  community  leaders  as  well 
as  providing  community  service.  With  an  enrollment 
of  approximately  700  students  from  seven 
communities,  Nashoba  Valley  Technical  High  School 
offers  career  preparation  in  18  technical  programs.

Three  12-week  trimesters.  Eight  45 -minute  periods 
set  in  a  block  schedule,  five  days  per  week.  The 
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.

years  of  college  credit.  Many  Nashoba  students 
in  recent  years  have  graduated  with  an  Associates 
degree  from  college  and  their  high  school  diploma 
at  the  same  time.  Also,  individual  study  programs 
for  talented  students  are  directed  to  their  area  of 
excellence.  Many  of  our  students  are  accepted 
at  such  distinguished  institutions  as  MIT,  Ithaca 
College,  Emerson  College,  Boston  University,  and 
University  of  Massachusetts,  among  others. 

Student  A  ctivities

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.

9  public  safety  dispatchers,  3  clerical  support  per- 


sonnel, 1  custodian  and  1  mechanic.  In  total,  over

ment. 

The  philosophy  at  the  police  department  continues  to 
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, 
and  drug  and  alcohol  violations.  These  quality  of  life 
issues  are  of  paramount  importance  in  maintaining 
order,  and  providing  an  overall  sense  of  safety  and 
security  throughout  the  town.

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

Public  Safety 


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. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
John  E.  Parow,  Fire  Chief

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,

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 


FY  2010  ANNUAL  REPORT

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.

Greener  Chelmsford  Initiative 

Badhri  Uppiliappan, 
Director 
Pat  Wojtas 
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

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

Office  of  Elder  Affairs  requires  us  to  maintain  this 
type  of  statistical  information.  They  define  a  unit  of 
service  as  'the  number  of  individual  contacts,  hours, 
rides,  meals,  classes,  etc.' 

The  Elder  Advocates  accessed  in  excess  of  $140,000 
in  entitlement  benefits  for  senior  citizens  in  the  areas 
of:  food  stamps,  Massachusetts  Health,  SSI,  SSD, 
fuel  assistance,  Medicare  programs,  Good  Neighbor 
Energy,  Merrimack  Valley  Elder  Services  Emergency 
Fund,  and  by  processing  63  Senior  Pharmacy  ap- 
plications. The  SHINE  counselors  also  assisted  in 
saving  seniors  money  through  assessments  of  their 
Medigap  policies. 

This  year  we  fostered  more  Intergenerational  Pro- 
grams, successfully  placed  150  participants  in  the 
"Property  Tax  Rebate"  program,  initiated  a  Handy- 
man program,  formalized  our  medical  equipment 
loan  program,  gave  the  senior  center  a  face  lift  with 
new  carpet  and  paint  due  to  a  sprinkler  system  mal- 
function, co-sponsored  two  Bone  Builders  classes, 
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.

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

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.

30  drawings  and  utilized  all  of  them  in  the  book.  The 
Chelmsford  Friends  of  the  Library  helped  to  fund  the 
printing  of  the  book.  Copies  of  the  finished  book  were 
distributed  to  the  author  and  illustrating  artists,  town 
libraries,  school  libraries,  Council  members  and  to  the

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 
Marian  Currier,  Tricia  Dzuris  and  Jeanne  Parziale 
at  the  Town  Manager's  office  for  coordinating  this 
event!

Library  Director 


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.

•  A  new  dababase  of  technology  books  called  Safari 
which  gives  access  to  a  large  collection  of  reliable, 
up-to-date  content  for  technology,  business  &  man- 
agement professionals. 

•  A  new  online  room  reservation  system  that  makes  it 
easier  for  non-profit  groups  to  know  at  a  glance  what 
meeting  rooms  are  available  and  gives  them  the  abil- 
ity to  reserve  meeting  rooms  themselves.  Our  meeting 
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!
