DEDICATION
MERELISE O'CONNOR
After 1 8 years of service to our community, we bid farewell to a dedicated public
servant. Merelise "Mel" O'Connor began her career in Plymouth in 1981 as Parks
and Recreation Director. Untold scores of Plymouth's young people benefited from
her enthusiasm and able leadership of the recreation program.
Mel became Town Administrator in 1987 and for the next 11 years worked with
the elected, appointed and volunteer boards of Plymouth to improve our community.
The measure of a public servant is her ability to remain true to the greater public good
in face of political storms and competing interests. Mel has exceeded that measure,
and her dedication to our community is truly noteworthy.
It is with honor and appreciation that we dedicate this Town Report to Merelise
O'Connor.

PLYMOUTH BOARD OF SELECTMEN
1998 ANNUAL REPORT
In last year's report, we asked you to be prepared for some inconvenience when
work began around the town common during the summer. The work and the incon-
venience came and lasted longer than expected, but the great majority of citizens han-
dled both with stoic good nature as well as interest, and the results have been gratify-
ing and widely praised. Aesthetic improvements resulting from putting utilities under
ground and from adding new stone and brickwork for curbs and walks and new light
fixtures were only part of the scope of the project, as much needed upgrading of the
storm drainage system down Highland, Court Street, and around the common were
completed. We live in the Granite State; so, I guess we should have expected that
ledge!
A further project that was completed in town was the boat ramp on the Pemi next
to the courthouse. Thanks go especially to our State Representative Allen MacNeil
and the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.
This summer, if approved at Town Meeting, it will be the turn of those who live
on or travel Thurlow Street to bear the inconvenience of repairs as we tackle the often
postponed project to rebuild Thurlow Street from Stonybrook to the top of the hill.
This is part of our long range plan to restore and maintain our community's infra-
structure. It requires funding the capital improvement plan. We hope this can be done
while keeping the tax impact to a minimum and without having to borrow any money.
Additionally, this summer will probably see the construction of a new Walmart
super store in Plymouth. Certainly, this is not a project without some controversy, but
it is one which the Selectmen support and which we think in the long run will be a
positive addition to our town and a clear benefit to our citizens. A tip of our hat, by
the way, to the people of Rite Aid, who have just completed a well-designed, attrac-
tive new store - a visual and commercial asset for our town.
We are saying goodbye this year to a dedicated and valuable employee. Town
Administrator Merelise O'Connor is moving on to new opportunities and new chal-
lenges in state government. These will indeed be difficult shoes to fill.
Again this year we want to thank all our town employees for their dedicated ser-
vice to the town. Whether it be repairing the devastation from this past summer's
flash flooding, dealing with the major ice storm, handling the disturbance on Russell
Street, or responding to calls for emergency service, their skill and professionalism is
greatly appreciated. We also owe a large debt of gratitude to the volunteers who spend
countless hours serving as members of town boards, committees and commissions.
What would Plymouth, or even the state, be without these responsive citizens?
Without a doubt, these are exciting times - our town is on the move, and it is these
same people we will depend on to keep our town the great place it is in which to live
and to raise a family.
Respectfully submitted,
John H. Tucker, Chairman
Board of Selectmen

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board
Town of Plymouth, New Hampshire
We have audited the accompanying general-purpose financial statements of the Town
of Plymouth as of and for the year ended June 30,1998, as listed in the table of con-
tents. These general-purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the Town of
Plymouth management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general-
purpose financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assur-
ance about whether the general-purpose financial statements are free of material mis-
statement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the general-purpose financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall general-purpose financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The general-purpose financial statements referred to above do not include the General
Fixed Assets Account Group, or Long-term Debt Account Group Landfill Closure and
Post Closure Care Costs, all of which should be included to conform with generally
accepted accounting principles. The amounts that should be recorded in the Account
Groups are not known.
In our opinion, except for the effect on the general-purpose financial statements of the
omissions described in the preceding paragraph, the general-purpose financial state-
ments referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the Town of Plymouth as of June 30, 1998, and the results of its operations and cash
flows of its non-expendable trust funds for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general-pur-
pose financial statements taken as a whole. The individual and combining fund finan-
cial statements and schedules listed in the table of contents are presented for purpos-
es of additional analysis and are not a required part of the general purpose financial
statements of Town of Plymouth. Such information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the general-purpose financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the general-purpose
financial statements taken as a whole.

PLYMOUTH POLICE DEPARTMENT
1998 ANNUAL REPORT
1998 was a successful year for the Plymouth Police Department, but also includ-
ed some enforcement challenges. Some student rebellion in the Spring caused us to
re-examine our efforts and strengthen our policy and protocols in several ways. Our
resources have been more efficiently coordinated to further a stronger response to dis-
turbance and nuisance calls, and this is being done without compromise to our com-
mitment to provide fair enforcement.
1998 saw the assignment of Barry Tanner to a Detective position. Barry has been
with the department for several years and has embraced this new challenge with great
enthusiasm. Kevin Lincoln was promoted to Dispatch Supervisor, and we believe his
sensitive approach to callers, visitors, and employees alike will promote a very pro-
fessional reputation.
Captain Steve Temperino was selected to attend the FBI National Academy. This
training is some of the best offered to local law enforcement, and Steve was the first
officer from Plymouth to ever attend. He graduated in September and we congratulate
him on this major achievement.
The police department has a roster of approximately 30 full and part-time posi-
tions, and it is natural that each year there is some employee turnover. 1998 saw the
departures of Dispatch Supervisor George Faran and Secretary Sharon Saunders. New
full-time employees include Dispatcher Erin Gaites and Secretary Pam Mack. We
appreciate the many years of service to those who have moved on, and we welcome
our new staff and wish them all the best.
It comes as no surprise that our once-young officers are getting older and turning
into more seasoned veterans. While it can be easier to recruit young, single people to
fill a patrol position in a college town, the real challenge is employee retention... espe-
cially when employees get married and start families. I am hopeful that through bud-
get talks and contract discussions, the Board of Selectmen and the local citizens will
support fair and significant increases so we can keep some of the knowledgeable,
trained talent now on board, and stop existing as a "short-term" place of employment.
The approximate cost to the Plymouth taxpayer to equip and train a new officer is
$19,500. By investing in better wages we strengthen longevity... everybody benefits.
In closing I must say that it is a pleasure to be Chief in a department where
employees are both competent and dedicated... and it is only fitting that I close by
thanking each and every member of the department for all their hard work and ser-
vice. They are a wonderful group of young professionals and you and I are very lucky
to have them.
Sincerely yours,
Anthony W. Raymond
Chief of Police

THE PLYMOUTH FIRE AND AMBULANCE DEPARTMENT
1998 ANNUAL REPORT
1998 is again projected to be a record setting year for the Fire and Ambulance
Departments in the Town of Plymouth. Combined Ambulance and Fire Activity
increased 4% over 1997.
In July we took delivery of a new pumper/tanker. The apparatus replaced our
1975 Mack fire engine. The new apparatus chassis was manufactured by Freightliner®
and the body was built by Smeal Corporation® in Snyder, Nebraska. The new appa-
ratus carries 2,500 gallons of water, has a pumping capacity of 1,500 gallons per
minute and carries up to five fire fighters in a fully enclosed cab. The change from a
standard pumper to a pumper/tanker enhances the versatility of our fire fighting capa-
bilities outside the hydrant district. The apparatus cost just under $200,000.00 and we
believe that we got a lot of equipment for our money.
The Ice Storm of 1998 continues to plague our community. Working through the
Governor's Office of Emergency Management the Highway Department was able to
acquire funds to clean up much of the roadside damage. The damage back in the
woods has been very hard on the fire service. In July a very small fire on Tenney
Mountain, that should have taken 3 personnel 15 minutes to contain and extinguish,
ended up taking 25 personnel two days to mitigate. The fire fighters had to literally
cut paths through downed trees to get to the fire and then carry all of their equipment
and water in on their backs. If it wasn't for the storm damaged trees, the fire never
would have had the fuel to burn so deep and the personnel would have had unimped-
ed access. The New Hampshire Department of Economic Development, Forest
Protection Bureau, understands the severity of this damage and has acquired much
needed wildland fire fighting equipment for communities should the need arise again
in the future.
Major construction projects have kept us busy again this year. Final tests of fire
protection systems and safety inspections on the newly renovated Lamson Library are
now completed and an ongoing addition to Speare Memorial Hospital is being close-
ly monitored. We work very closely with architects, engineers, contractors and own-
ers to assure that these public buildings are safe for those that visit or work in them.
The facility housing our operation is inadequate and does not afford us the ameni-
ties to provide good protection for the community. The Board of Selectmen are cur-
rently working diligently with myself and other agencies to develop a plan to provide
adequate facilities at a reasonable and affordable cost.
The department's efforts to provide a higher level of Emergency Medical Service
to the citizens is paying off. All of the full time personnel and two on call personnel
are trained to the EMT Intermediate level and we are regularly providing advanced
care to our patients in need. As the budget continues to provide the training we will
continue to increase training to other on call personnel in the department.
Through hard work and diligent negotiations the Board of Selectmen signed an
agreement in 1997 with Plymouth State College to provide funding for fire services.
This funding will increase by $15,000.00 this year to $108,000.00. We will all con-
43
tinue to work toward a funding mechanism that is equitable and fair for all.
I would like to commend the citizens, businesses and government officials for the
support given to us over the past years. It is only with this support that we can pro-
tect lives and property in the Town of Plymouth.
If anyone has any questions or if we can assist you in any way, please contact us
at your convenience.

PLYMOUTH HIGHWAY AND SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENTS
1998 ANNUAL REPORT
The past year has been marked by numerous events in both departments. In
January, the ice storm of '98 caused extensive damage across the northeast which
Plymouth did not escape. Much of the higher elevations were impacted as trees and
power lines collapsed under the weight of excessive ice. Plymouth's Highway crew
was vigilant in keeping the roadways open for travel during the second week of
January and thus began the long methodical clean-up. In June, the already saturated
water table was subject to excessive rainfall in a 24 hour period resulting in the
destruction of six miles of road. The long process toward restoration proved to be a
major setback and put a halt to any planned improvements during 1998. Federal aid
for reconstruction was approved in August and to date approximately 85% of the
restoration has been completed.
Plymouth's downtown received considerable attention this past year. Beneath the
new sidewalks, crosswalks and lighting, drainage infrastructure received much need-
ed reconstruction. Total cost for the project was $1,225 million, with a town match-
ing portion of $142,000. Simultaneously, the town and the Water & Sewer
Commission joined in a cooperative project in the reconstruction of Maple and
Broadway. Final landscaping, overlay and sidewalk rebuild will take place during
1999. Thurlow, New Hebron and Bartlett Roads are scheduled for improvements dur-
ing 1999 as well.
The team of Peter Furmanick and Jimmy Boucher captured the Plow Rally State
Championship this past June. In October, the team of Chris McCormack and Steve
Taves captured first place in the Lancaster region.
While prices for recyclables have been down, the volume of recyclables sold,
along with revenue, have reached new peaks. At this juncture revenue is approxi-
mately 20% ahead of FY'98, while volume is up 60% over last year's pace. Nobis
Engineering has been hired to design construction documents for the landfill closure.
This past year both departments experienced marked turnover in personnel. At
the solid Waste Department, Paul Freitas was appointed to the position of Foreman;
Bill Martin, Andy Kimball and Robert Bain were newly appointed to operator posi-
tions. Members of the department have done a very good job maintaining the conti-
nuity of service during this transition. In July, Joseph Fagnant was appointed to the
position of Highway III and Steve Taves was hired to fill the Highway II vacancy.
On a sad note, this year also marked the passing of Fred Bennett, a long-time
employee of the Solid Waste Department. Fred's unique character and strong work
ethic will be sorely missed.
Finally, I would like to thank residents of the community who have been most

PLYMOUTH PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
1998 ANNUAL REPORT
It was another great year of recreation opportunities for the residents of
Plymouth. The Plymouth Parks and Recreation Department continues to flourish and
offer a wide variety of programs, classes, special events, and bus trips for all to par-
ticipate and enjoy.
New programs this year included: Toddler Camp offered activities to children
three years of age giving them a pre-camp experience. Without the assistance of the
Whole Village facility this program would not have been possible. The seven week
after school adventure program was offered at the Plymouth Elementary School for
grades 3-5, Whole Village for grades 1-2, and the Star King Unitarian Fellowship
Church for grades K - 2.
Other successful programs that we offered in 1998 included Summer Camp at
Fox Pond Park. Our program provided children with a daily program of games,
sports, arts and crafts, creative activities and field trips. Tied in with our summer
camp program is one of our biggest yearly events - the Senior Citizen Picnic. This
popular event is held at the Plymouth Regional Senior Center and consists of a lunch
and show performed by our summer camp participants for seniors, parents, and fam-
ilies. This year's picnic marked our 15th annual event. Our specialty camps includ-
ed gymnastics, theater, baseball, football, soccer, and tennis. Other camps we would
like to offer are field hockey and softball. Aquatic activities included swim lessons,
swim clinic, family open swim and our swim team known as the White Mountain
Rapids. Our summer swim team is a very successful program that gives children the
opportunity to expand on their swimming skills. Thanks to our coaches Kate
Donahue and Barbara McCahan, and all the parents who work together as a team to
make this program what it is. Our winter wrestling clinic has developed into a suc-
cessful program thanks to Coach Randy Cleary and members of the PRHS wrestling
team. Instructor Gary Strong continues to offer a dedicated Tae Kwon Do program
on a month to month basis through the entire school year.
In the spring, the Department received a "Field of Dreams" Grant from True
Value Hardware. The materials supplied were a part of the 1998 True Value Field of
Dreams Program which is a cooperative effort of Major League Baseball, True Value
and local True Value dealers. Steve Rand, of Rand's True Value Hardware, provided
us with $1500 worth of tools, fertilizer, and supplies for the Plymouth Elementary
School Ball Fields.
The Skateboard Ramp was completed in early July. This mini ramp was con-
structed by Parkitects of Waterville Valley and financed by P.L.A.Y. and Plymouth
State College. Currently, the ramp is located in the parking lot of the Facilities
Building at PSC across from D&M Park. Our goal is to eventually have this ramp
relocated to Fox Pond Park.
The Plymouth segment of the Heritage Trail was dedicated on August 1, 1998.
Plymouth's portion of the trail, a 5.6 mile long walking loop with sixteen points of
interest, was completed through a coordinated effort of the Plymouth Chamber of
Commerce, the Plymouth Regional Senior Center, Plymouth State College, the Town
of Plymouth, and the Plymouth Parks and Recreation Department.
46
The Department once again sponsored nine Keniston Freeman Summer Concerts
on the Common. With the assistance of Main Street Plymouth Inc., food vendors
offered affordable family meals at each concert. These vendors included:
Biederman's Deli, Subway, Plymouth House of Pizza, Bull and Bier Haus, Shop n'
Save, Puppy Love Hot Dogs, and Jenron's Pizza. We look forward to continuing and
building upon this successful event in the future.
As always, the Department owes a special thanks to the Plymouth Schools and
the School Administrators and staff who open the school doors and create an envi-
ronment of cooperation so we can offer the programs we do throughout the year.
Thanks are also extended to the Plymouth State College PE Center, Holderness
School, and the Plymouth Regional Senior Center for the use of their facilities.
Thanks also to the hundreds of volunteers who put in endless hours to help us run such
a complete recreation program. Thanks are also in order to all recreation staff mem-
bers full and part-time seasonal. Full time members include: Lisa Fahey-Ash,
Program Coordinator; Jim Blake, Park Foreman; Jennifer Dobbs, Groundskeeper II;
and Brian Cottrell, Groundskeeper I. Their positive attitudes and willingness to work
long hours in order that others may enjoy their leisure time is one of the main reasons
for our success.
And finally, thanks to the Recreation Commission and P.L.A.Y. members, Town
Administrator, and Board of Selectmen for realizing the importance recreation plays
in the health of a community and supporting our efforts to provide a quality program.
Respectfully submitted,
Larry J. Gibson
Director of Parks and Recreation

PEASE PUBLIC LIBRARY
TOWN REPORT 1998
125 years ago, in 1873, fourteen young ladies living in the town of Plymouth
began to organize a circulating library. They conducted many fundraising events, and
in 1 874 established their library on Main Street. The library was housed in a second
floor room supplied by John Langdon, and located over his express office. Within
three years the collection and patronage had increased so rapidly that larger accom-
modations became necessary. In 1876 Col. Henry W. Blair purchased the old court-
house, restored it, moved it to a new location on Court Street, and presented it to the
Young Ladies Library Association. In the succeeding decades the library continued
to grow and develop, and to evolve in its management and mission.
Since 1873, despite the many changes in the library, two constants have
remained. The library has been in continuous operation, and the Young Ladies
Library Association has maintained its support of the library. This past November,
two events were held in celebration of the 125 year history of the library, and the
Young Ladies Library Association.
The decade of the 1990s has seen the most significant changes in the library since
its founding. In 1990, thanks to a bequest from Charlotte Pease, the library was
moved to a new, modern brick facility within a block of both former locations. In
September of 1998, the installation of an automated circulation system and card cat-
alog were completed. This dramatically changed procedures that had been virtually
identical to those used in 1874. A computer cluster now offers patrons instant access
to information on the library's holdings, to the internet, to word processing programs,
and to materials in CD-ROM format. The great challenge of the next decade will be
to keep pace with rapidly developing technology, which is vastly changing the ways
libraries provide information.
We continued to offer a variety of programs in 1998. Storytimes for three, four,
and five year olds drew capacity attendance. Our summer reading program involved
hundreds of elementary school children in both weekly programs and reading chal-
lenges. We are grateful to Heidi Mock, Jan Ahern, Jay Moscowitz, Jeremy Sinaikin
and MacDonald's for their assistance with summer 1998 programming.
Monthly adult book discussions were also held, with Mary Rotella leading two
series. Things Fall Apart discussed five books set in varying countries and detailing
political and social disintegration. Questioning Technology was a six part series, rais-
ing questions regarding the benefits and liabilities of the technological age.
Introduction to the Internet classes walked newcomers to this technology through the
first steps in learning to use the internet.
There are many organizations and individuals who contribute to the success of
the library. Our thanks to: the Plymouth Business and Professional Women's
Association for providing a pass to the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium in Concord; the
Fleet Bank for providing a pass to the Science Center of New Hampshire, and to the
Young Ladies Library Association for its varied support, including the purchase of
materials. Sight Services for Independent Living has provided a closed circuit televi-
48
sion. This device magnifies printed material, and projects the image onto a television
screen. It is available for use by anyone with visual impairment, regardless of place
of residence.
Volunteers donated over 1500 hours in 1998, an invaluable source of assistance.
Special thanks to Jack Ellard who designed and built tables for our computer cluster,
in addition to volunteering many hours each week. Thanks also to our other able vol-
unteers: Pat Andrews, Cheryl Beraudo, Sandra Gaudet, Winnie Hohlt, Stephanie
Kirkpatrick, Rhoda Mitchell, Charlotte Stevens, and to staff Patricia Hanscomb,
Deborah Perloff, Sandra Pickel, Ann Pierce, Susan Jarosz, Irene Blake, and Jody
Randall who assisted with the technology project.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN
FOR FY 2000-FY 2005
New Hampshire Statutes (RSA 674:5-8) place responsibility for capital planning
with the town's Planning Board, provided that the Planning Board has adopted a
Master Plan and that the legislative body at town meeting authorizes the Planning
Board to proceed. For the Town of Plymouth, a Master Plan was in place by 1987 and
a vote at the 1987 Town Meeting provided the Planning Board with the authorization
to develop a Capital Improvements Program (CIP).
The Planning Board established a Capital Planning Committee (CPC) to for-
mulate a CIP for their review and final approval. The CPC first receives input pro-
vided by all of the town departments and meets with various department representa-
tives. The CPC only considers those items classified as a "capital project," a term
which is defined for CPC purposes as "a physical public betterment involving a facil-
ity, parcel of land, or a major piece of equipment with a value exceeding $10,000 and
occurring no more frequently than every five years." In developing the plan, the CPC
prioritizes projects based on urgency and need for realization and recommends a time
sequence for implementation (RSA 674:6) with the overall goal of eliminating major
year-to-year fluctuations in the capital budget by building on the previous year's plan.
The resulting CIP, once adopted by the Planning Board, is only a recommended course
of action to be used by the Advisory Budget Committee and the Board of Selectmen.
The adopted FY 2000-FY2005 plan attempts to recover from major cuts made
in last year's capital budget and return the plan to a plateau similar to that level main-
tained during the FY 1996 through FY 1998 budget years. The main changes in the
plan include a new item for FY 2000 to address potential Y2K problems with Police
Department software. A "Conveyor" line was also added to the Solid Waste
Department section and the plan includes funding that was set aside last year. Another
item, which the CPC put in the plan for FY01 funding consideration, was a "Cushman
Police Vehicle" for parking enforcement requested by the Police Department.
Another new line, "Digitize Tax Maps" was inserted as a capital reserve item starting
in FY01 at the request of the Selectmen's Office. The Planning Board also broke out
some of the plan's "Highway Department's Roadway & Drainage" line into a new
"Highland Street Capital Reserve" line starting in FY01. The rest of the plan is sim-
ilar to last year's plan with a few adjustments and/or shifts in certain lines based on
updated inputs and priorities. A few items from last year's plan were eliminated based
on department suggestions or decisions by the CPC.
The Planning Board adopted the revised CIP on November 5, 1998.

PLANNING BOARD
1998 ANNUAL REPORT
1998 has proven to be an exciting year for the Planning Board. Several site plan
reviews and proposed changes to the Zoning Ordinance have drawn larger than usual
crowds to our meetings. The Board welcomed Leslie Mclver as an alternate member
and said goodbye to departing members Carol Kenneson and Kate Coupe.
After several years of hard work, the Master Plan update has been completed. The
Master Plan is an advisory document, but its statement of goals for future develop-
ment plays a major role in determining the direction that growth and development in
the Town take in the years to come. Several public meetings and hearings were held
prior to adoption of the Plan, and many citizens turned out to voice their concerns and
opinions.
Construction of new sidewalks and drainage improvements in the downtown
began in the summer and was completed in early December. These improvements
were funded by federal ISTEA funds, State Aid for Reconstruction funds, and local
funds. In addition to the sidewalk and drainage improvements, brick crosswalks and
sidewalk edging were introduced, enhancing the aesthetics of the downtown area.
Pear trees and attractive lamp posts were added along Main Street.
The south end of Main Street saw further change with the construction of the new
Rite Aid. Approval for the project was received in 1997, but construction did not begin
until this summer. The construction crew was able to continue working into December
due to the unseasonably mild weather this fall, thus completing the project. The raz-
ing of the former Rite Aid building has given pedestrians and travelers a new gateway
as they arrive at south Main Street. Coupled with the landscaping and signage rec-
ommended by the Planning Board, the new Rite Aid is an attractive anchor for south-
ern Main Street.
During the course of the year, the Planning Board reviewed 15 site plans, 3 lot
line adjustments, 3 subdivisions, and took part in a number of conceptual reviews.
Most notable among these is the current site plan review of the proposed Wal*Mart
on Tenney Mountain Highway. The residents of Plymouth and surrounding towns
have come out in record numbers to voice their concerns or support for this proposal.
The review of this application will continue into 1999, with everyone eagerly await-
ing the outcome. It has proven to be both exciting and exhausting for everyone
involved.

PLYMOUTH MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
1998 ANNUAL REPORT
On September 1, 1998, 1 assumed the duties of Airport Manager and conducted a
survey of the facility to assess what actions needed to be accomplished. I established
a priority list of the things that I had identified as immediate action items. Those items
were the repair of broken glass in the Terminal Building, clean-up debris around both
buildings and the perimeter of the airfield.
A second list of action items was identified that addressed those items that were
of a longer time frame and these are:
1 . Developed a plan to remove a fuel storage tank on the property to bring the
Town into conformance with State regulations regarding aging fuel storage facilities.
2. Began clearing brush on the right side of the taxiway from the hanger in a west-
erly direction. This is needed to allow taxing aircraft adequate clearance from aircraft
landing on runway 30. Brush was removed from the windsock and Segmented Circle
area to allow better visibility of both from the air.
3. Inspected the drainage system on the westerly end of the airfield and developed
a plan to repair it.
To date, $1837.50 has been collected in fees from hanger rental, tie-downs and
land rental. I am developing a plan to establish additional user fees for persons using
the airport property but not permanently based on the property.
I am optimistic that I will be able to attract more users to the airport. Specifically,
negotiations are underway with the Franconia Soaring Club to bring them to
Plymouth Airport. This has the potential to bring 8-10 aircraft to our facility and gen-
erate upwards of an additional $1500/2000 in fee revenue.
I am working with the Airport Study Committee in developing a plan to construct
additional hanger space at the airport. Hanger space is the number one revenue gen-
erator and attraction at any small airport and the Committee has presented a proposal
that has the potential to build several hangers at no cost to the taxpayer.
Given the tax environment we all have to live with in Plymouth I will be empha-
sizing the use of volunteer labor drawn from the user base to accomplish several other
tasks.

CEMETERY TRUSTEES
1998 ANNUAL REPORT
At the annual Town Meeting in 1997, the voters approved the Board of Selectmen
stepping down as Trustees of Plymouth's cemeteries. There will be three residents
on the ballot this year to assume those responsibilities. Each year a new trustee will
be on the ballot for a period of three years.
This year at Riverside Cemetery the following was accomplished:
•A 14'x28' wood frame building was erected from boards salvaged from the
removal of the old pine trees. The project was designed and erected by the
PRHS Building Trades students. The building houses the cemetery truck and
burial equipment.
• An area in the southeast corner of Riverside was cleared of trees and shrubs to
be used as Division VI, the last of the expansion program.
The headstone cleaning program starts May 1999 and will continue under a five
year program.
We welcome suggestions in order to improve the appearance of our community
cemeteries. Please contact the Cemetery Sexton.
Respectfully submitted,
Board of Selectmen/Cemetery Trustees

CONSERVATION COMMISSION
1998 ANNUAL REPORT
Since the last report to the Town, Chair Rob Pike has stepped down after putting
in a lot of time on behalf of the of the Commission and the Town. Thanks to his
efforts and those of a number of volunteers, the Sutherland Trail up Plymouth
Mountain is now accessible having been obliterated by "the Great Ice Storm". The
Commission will also miss other members who have put in time and effort: Lea
Stewart and Jim Mayhew. With these membership changes in effect, we seek replace-
ments. Those interested in serving on the Commission should send a letter to the
Office of the Selectmen.

PLYMOUTH HEALTH OFFICER
1998 ANNUAL REPORT
1998 was my first full year as Health Officer. The basic responsibilities include
protecting the environment, workplaces, housing, food and water.
My role as Health Officer has given me great opportunities to work with many-
levels of town management. From the Selectmen. Town Administrator and Planner to
the Police and Fire Departments, resources at the State of XH Level have also been
professional and a pleasure to work with. PSC and the taxpayers of Plymouth have
been a great pleasure to work with as well.
In 1998 I spent time participating in a variety of committees and diverse groups.
In no particular order. I could be found at College/Community Council meetings.
Highway/Safety Committee meetings. Housing Standards, and State of XH Health
Officer Team Building meetings.
I will summarize the Health Officers responsibilities in a list for you and place
beside it a number reflecting the frequency I responded to such calls in 1998 (through
Thanksgiving). I strongly encourage you to look at how you handle opportunities
with you neighbor, tenant, landlord, or even yourself. Then try to deal with issues pro-
fessionally and respectfully. "THE EARTH MATTERS'". ""Be careful and be safe." I
strongly encourage you to call me with any questions or concerns that you are unsure
of or can't handle.

REPORT OF TOWN FOREST FIRE WARDEN
AND STATE FOREST RANGER
To aid your Forest Fire Warden, Fire Department and State Forest Ranger, con-
tact your local Warden or Fire Department to find out if a permit is required before
doing ANY outside burning. Violations of RSA 227-L:17, the fire permit law and the
other burning laws of the State of New Hampshire are misdemeanors punishable by
fines of up to $2,000 and/or a year in jail. Violators are also liable for all fire sup-
pression costs.
There are ten Forest Rangers who work for the New Hampshire Division of
Forests and Lands, Forest Protection Bureau. State Forest Rangers are available to
assist communities with forest fire suppression, prevention and training programs as
well as the enforcement of forest fire and timber harvest laws. If you have any ques-
tions regarding forest fire or timber harvest laws, please call our office at 271-2217.
There are 2400 Forest Fire Wardens and Deputy Forest Fire Wardens throughout
the state. Each town has a Forest Fire Warden and several Deputy Wardens who assist
the Forest Rangers with forest fire suppression, prevention, and law enforcement.
Early in 1998 we experienced an ice storm, which caused severe damage to forests of
New Hampshire. This damage created a greater potential fire hazard as well as safety
hazards to many areas of the state. Your local fire warden and Forest Rangers need
your assistance in preventing wildfires in these hard hit areas and throughout the
State. If you need assistance or information dealing with ice damaged woodlands,
please call 1-800-444-8978.
The State of New Hampshire operates 15 fire towers, 2 mobile patrols and 3 con-
tract aircraft patrols. This early detection and reports from citizens aid in the quick
response from local fire departments. This is a critical factor in controlling the size of
wildland fires and keeping the loss of property and suppression costs as low as possible.

PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY CHANNEL 3 COMMITTEE
1998 ANNUAL REPORT
Plymouth Community Channel 3 (PCC3) is the public, educational, and govern-
mental access channel for Frontier Vision Partners' subscribers in Plymouth and sev-
eral adjoining towns. The PCC3 Committee, inactive for a number of years, reports to
the Plymouth Board of Selectmen. PCC3's Cablecasting Center is located at Pease
Public Library. The Center has an Amiga computer for generating a continuously
repeating, electronic bulletin board with accompanying radio programming. There is
equipment for automated airing of prerecorded video programs submitted by mem-
bers of the Plymouth public, schools/college, and government. The Center also has
an S-VHS video camcorder and mike for taping governmental and other programming
for cablecast on Channel 3. The channel has no set operating budget. However, the
Plymouth Board of Selectmen and FrontierVision Partners did cover the cost of pur-
chasing some replacement hardware and other miscellaneous items needed by the
Channel in 1998. PCC3 depends totally on volunteers to create and run its program-
ming. By stipulation of the franchise agreement with FrontierVision Partners, PCC3
is non-commercial.
In calendar 1998 through December 15th, 265 new messages were run on PCC3's
bulletin board. This is down 22% from the 339 run in 1997. The drop can be attrib-
uted to the decrease in volunteers to a single person to enter messages into the com-
puter. Over 450 more messages were received, but were not run.
In calendar 1998 through December 15th, prerecorded video programming
totaled 169 shows. This is a 63% increase over 1997's total of 107. The numbers of
program contributions from each of the 3 categories of access users are: Public — 42,
Educational — 118, and Governmental — 9. For the third year in a row, the access
user submitting the greatest number of taped programs was PSC's Meteorology Dept.
Their 6-minute, PSC PM WEATHER local forecasts ran on 115 evenings. The pro-
gram producer who submitted the second largest number of programs was Public
Access User Jerry Larson. Jerry contributed 37 Sunday services of the Plymouth
Congregational Church. Two consecutive evenings of live programming were pro-
duced by the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce. These shows were the Chamber's
TV/radio auction, their major annual fund raiser.
PCC3 volunteers who deserve many thanks are John B. Bowen, Jr. and Ken
MacDonald. The staffs of Pease Public Library, Plymouth Selectmen's Office, and
FrontierVision Partners were always most helpful.

GRAFTON COUNTY SENIOR CITIZENS COUNCIL, INC.
ANNUAL REPORT 1998
Grafton County Senior Citizens Council, Inc. works through its local programs to
support the health and well being of our older citizens and to assist them to remain
independent in their own homes and communities for as long as possible. Through
eight locations throughout the County, including Plymouth, Bristol, Canaan, Lebanon,
Orford, Haverhill, Littleton and Lincoln, older adults and their families are able to
obtain community based long term care services such as home delivered meals, senior
dining room programs, transportation, social work services, information and referral,
health and educational programs, adult day care, recreation and opportunities to be of
service to the community through volunteering.
During 1997, 448 older residents of Plymouth were able to make use of one or
more of GCSCC's services, offered through the Plymouth Regional Senior Center.
These individuals enjoyed 3,778 balanced meals in the company of friends in a senior
dining room, received 6,286 hot, nourishing meals delivered to their homes by caring
volunteers, were transported to health care providers or other community resources on
2,297 occasions by our lift-equipped buses, were helped through 868 visits by a
trained social worker and found opportunities to put their talents and skills to work for
a better community through 4,940 hours of volunteer service, the cost to provide these
services for Plymouth residents in 1997 was $76,476.00.
The Plymouth Regional Senior Center celebrated its 5th anniversary in October,
1988. During the past 5 years, the center has become a resource for community resi-
dents of all ages, hosting parties, arts and crafts festivals, railroad events, as well as
many health and human service programs. This year, also, the center initiated a
chore/home repair program for elders, designed to assist them to maintain their homes
in a safe and comfortable condition. PRSC volunteers, Bob and Jean Bergeron were
honored by Governor Shaheen, in September, as recipients of the Vaughan Award for
Grafton County, and another PRSC volunteer, Mary Ruel, was presented with the
Ageless Hero award for her many contributions to the community. A woodworking
shop was established in an auxiliary building, to teach skills to disabled adults and to
serve as a resource for center participants.
Community based services provided by GCSCC and its many volunteers for
older residents of Plymouth were often important to their efforts to remain in their
own homes and out of institutional care despite chronic health problems and increas-
ing physical frailty, saving tax dollars and contributing to the quality of life of our
older friends and neighbors.
GCSCC very much appreciates the support of the Plymouth community for ser-
vices which enhance the independence and dignity of our older citizens and assists
them to meet the challenges of aging in place.

NORTH COUNTRY COUNCIL
1998 PLYMOUTH TOWN REPORT
In 1998, North Country Council supported Plymouth on several projects. A pro-
posal has been developed to fund an arts based downtown - economic development ini-
tiative and cultural resources plan. The proposal was submitted to EDA for funding.
We secured a foundation grant for the town to pay for a downtown design - visioning
effort. We began the process of evaluating the fairground site with a local committee.
NCC worked with the sewer department on sewer line relocation as part of the
NHDOT downtown road reconstruction. We also provided assistance to the town on
roadway and drainage issues. We also have been working with the town seeking fund-
ing for water line extension on Tenney Mountain Highway. The Council also provid-
ed engineering, planning and traffic review services to the Planning Board for the pro-
posed WalMart. We also continue to provide support to the Solid Waste District.
In 25 years of service we recall working with the 279 various boards in the region
on more than 1300 projects. We have seen extraordinary changes in the last 25 years.
In 1973, a first class stamp was 8 cents. We had rotary dial phones that required only
4 digits to make a local call. Our vehicles had CBs, not cell phones. A few of us had
photocopiers, but a lot of people still typed carbons on typewriters. No one had com-
puters. A hand held calculator was a $100 marvel. And a fax machine was a futuris-
tic daydream. Hundreds worked in shoe factories. Employees at the paper mill in
Lincoln outnumbered workers at Loon Mountain by a factor of five. A job at a bank
was a job for life, those bank made loans on a handshake. Ski areas prayed for nat-
ural snow, it was the only way they could operate. From Plymouth to Pittsburg there
were 5 traffic lights, and forget about gas or coffee north of exit 23 on 1-93 after 9 p.m.
Since 1973, we have seen legislative and regulatory change in banking, energy,
trade, environment, labor relations, safety, transportation and health care. The impact
of these actions on our communities has been drastic. Old jobs vanished and new ones
emerged. In this environment, the Council helped 40 towns write master plans to
encourage growth, limit development or just to help them get a hold of their destiny.
We are not the same organization we were in 1973. As your needs have changed
we have changed with you. We still fight for our share of road upgrades and improve-
ments but now we also seek byways that enhance cultural assets and showcase local
landscapes. We still seek water and sewer improvement but now we also seek
telecommunication improvement. Changing times summon new responses.
Twenty-five years has left us with a rich legacy. We have an expert staff. Half our
staff are North Country natives, the other half have lived here half their lives. We have
solid connections with agencies in Concord and Washington that can equip the region
for a changing future. We have learned to seek incremental improvement by educat-
ing, sharing information, evaluating possibilities, holding forums, providing technical
assistance and obtaining funds. The last quarter century has also bestowed on us the
modern technology to accomplish these tasks and serve you more efficiently and effec-
tively. This legacy is the promise of another 25 years of service and leadership.
Sincerely,
Preston S. Gilbert
Executive Director

PEMI-BAKER HOME HEALTH
AN AGENCY REVIEW: 1998
Home care has been an American tradition for more than a century. Home care
improves our society's quality of life by enabling individuals to stay in the comfort
and security of their own homes during times of illness, disability, and recuperation.
Home care maintains the person's dignity and independence.
Pemi-Baker Home Health, as your local not-for-profit home care agency, contin-
ues to reach out to the public by informing and educating our communities through
our agency newsletter, local news articles, and fundraising efforts. Internally, agency
employees stay informed about the latest healthcare issues and clinical developments
through staff development and continuing education. By the end of this year, our
Clinical Coordinator, Elaine Vieria, will receive her Bachelors in Healthcare
Administration and our Executive Director, Margaret Terrasi, will receive her
Master's in Management.
Pemi-Baker Home Health Agency has had a year of substantial changes in the
arena of healthcare in general. Perhaps the biggest change, and one that stands to
jeopardize many agencies and their ability to continue serving the nation's 37 million
Medicare beneficiaries, is the Interim Payment System. Under IPS, as it is called, per-
beneficiary cost limits are used (instead of the traditional per visit/fee for service reim-
bursement)-based on an agency's 1994 cost figures-which are well below today's
higher actual cost of care. The effects of the new payment system have hit both home
care providers and patients alike. In a recent study it was revealed that 92% of agen-
cies have cost well above the cost limits and will have great difficulty in maintaining
their agencies within the new guidelines.
Indeed, it has been a challenging year. At a time when agencies are struggling to
find the perfect "fit" between the newly defined home care benefit, a new reimburse-
ment system and ongoing patient needs, agencies continue to be restricted by other
mandates in the form of additional paperwork requirements. In the name of quality
care, patient satisfaction and outcome based results, agencies are trying very hard to
balance what little time is left for caring for the patient with bureaucratic requirements
that force costs to escalate. As reimbursement avenues are cut or restricted, agencies
must become even more innovative with the services they offer to those in need.
This agency has been able to maintain its own against forces that seem to be clos-
ing in on many in the healthcare field. With fortitude, insight, and a proactive
approach to continuing our home care business, Pemi-Baker Home Health expects to
ride out the "ups and downs" of the uncertain and unsettled health care environment.
Our pledge is to take care of our patients in the same community focused manner we
have achieved for the past thirty-two years. We thank our employees, our board and
our towns for their support of what we believe in and what we do.

Esq, Board of Directors/Plymouth Representative

PEMI-BAKER YOUTH & FAMILY SERVICES COUNCIL, INC.
1998 ANNUAL REPORT
The Council is an organization dedicated to promoting community-wide
approaches which support the development of healthy youths and their families. The
Council currently coordinates five programs which are available to people in Eastern
Grafton County:
1. Juvenile Court Diversion - a voluntary program for first-time juvenile offend-
ers which holds them accountable for their actions. Volunteers from the community
develop a contract with each youth and family. Contracts may include community ser-
vice, referrals to other agencies and programs, personal development tasks, etc. We
have found that, of the youths who graduated from Diversion in 1996 and 1997, 92%
have not committed a subsequent offense since, saving tens of thousands of dollars in
court-ordered services.
2. OSS (Opportunities for Suspended Students) - This program works with stu-
dents and families from Plymouth Regional High School who are at-risk of losing course
credit due to repeated suspensions. This community -based approach connects families to
services in the region which help the students and families develop their strengths.
3. The Challenge Course - a 15-hour early intervention program for teens which
focuses on alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. Courses are non-judgmental and confi-
dential. Teens in the small groups are asked to assess their relationships with these
substances and learn what they can do to reduce their use or stop using entirely. Of
all the youths who successfully completed the program in 1996 and 1997, not one,
0%, has re-offended.
4. OCTAA (On Campus Talking About Alcohol & Other Drugs) - offered in
cooperation with local police departments and Plymouth State College, OCTAA pro-
vides an effective educational opportunity for anyone between the ages of 18-21. This
is also a lifetime risk-reduction program on the use and abuse of drugs.
5. Information and Referral - provides area residents with a clearinghouse of
information on regional human service agencies and programs. People with a variety
of needs can receive free and confidential assistance on how to access these resources.
Callers ask how to report child abuse, how to access public assistance or counseling
services, where to find after-school activities for children, etc. The Council distrib-
uted nearly 2000 comprehensive Grafton County Resource Guides in 1998 to help
towns, police, schools and other human service providers find services for the people
they work with.
Total service figures for the Council in calendar year 1998 are as follows:
Juvenile Court Diversion 36
OSS Program (no summer referrals) 16
Challenge Course 42
Information and Referral calls and visits 208
Grafton County Resource Guides 2000
OCTAA (no summer course) 96

ARTICLE 32. ANY OTHER BUSINESS - CHALLENGE TO MODERATOR
To transact any other business that may legally come before said meeting.
William Houle, Chairman of the Budget Committee, raised a challenge to Mr.
Clay's previous ruling on the proposed amendment to Article 22. Town
Administrator, Merelise O'Connor, stated that based on her experience the
Department of Revenue Administration would rule the proposed amendment as inap-
propriate and inadmissible and disallow this appropriation. The law does state that a
warrant article must distinctly address the purpose for which a reserve is to be estab-
lished. Mr. Houle was of the opinion that this criteria was met because the following
article did specify raising and appropriating money for the same purpose and that the
total amount would not change.
Voted, by affirmative voice vote, to uphold the Moderator's ruling.
There was no other business and the meeting was adjourned at 10:10 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Kathleen Latuch,
Plymouth Town Clerk

COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
The Board of Commissioners and staff are striving to prepare the District for the
21st century in regards to improvements to its water and sewer infrastructure and
facilities. Expansion of the Tenney Mountain Highway water line from Highland
Street to Arlyn Farm was approved by voters at the 1991 annual meeting and is antic-
ipated to be completed in 1999 to provide a potable water supply to existing and
planned businesses and residences. Expansion of the sewer line on Fairgrounds Road
from Riverside Cemetery to the District boundary has been delayed for many years.
Three engineering assessments of alternative alignments have been funded in the
search for a cost effective solution. This remains a high priority.
Improvements to existing infrastructure are ongoing, as evidenced by replace-
ment of the Maple/Broadway and Court Street water and sewer lines in 1998. The lat-
ter work was done by PSC with minimal cost to the District.
The District has formalized an agreement with the Town of Bristol to accept its
sludge for conversion to compost at the Plymouth facility. A similar agreement with
Woodstock has been ongoing for years. This will reduce operation costs to the
District and improve the utilization of this facility while maintaining the high compost
quality. A fee schedule has been adopted to recapture some of the costs for compost
production.
The District has amended its septage receiving policy effective September 1st.
Twenty-one towns have signed a written agreement with the District to provide for
septage disposal and will be paying an annual fee.
The District has worked closely with the Downtown 2000 Project in infrastruc-
ture improvements on Main Street and at Riverfront Park.
Improvements and system expansion come at a cost. The District voted to
increase rates in 1998 and must raise rates again in 1999. The District remains in the
lowest third in the state in regard to rates. This has resulted in some difficulty in
securing federal assistance for infrastructure improvements! Nevertheless, the
District expects to service an increasing clientele as we position ourselves for the
future. The Commissioners and staff are focused on continually improving our prod-
ucts and services for the benefit of District rate payers. Efficient management of our
wastewater to protect the Pemigewasset River while producing a viable compost
byproduct, and providing potable drinking water for an expanding population base
will remain a challenge in light of increasing state and federal requirements.
The Commissioners serve you, the rate payers and users, and we value your con-
tinued support.
Respectfully,
John J. McCormack Jr., Chairman
Steven H. Temperino
Richard A. Flanders Jr.

OPERATIONS REPORT
1998 was an exceptionally busy construction year for the District. The following
water and sewer line replacement projects were completed:
Broadway and Maple Street 2250+/- lineal feet of 10" class 52
ductile iron water main
2250 +/- lineal feet of 8" PVC
gravity sewer
Final paving to be completed in
Spring 1999
Court Street with PSC 350+/- lineal feet of 6" class 52
(Replacement) ductile iron water main
350+/- lineal feet of 8" PVC gravity
sewer
Main Street with the Town and DOT 177+/- lineal feet of 8" PVC gravity
(Replacement) sewer
Smith Street 160 lineal feet of 10" ductile iron
(New) water main
The Smith Street installation was done to facilitate the last phase of the water
loop from the reservoir to Maple Street.
Water Division: Compliance with EPA's water quality regulation, the copper and
lead rule, has been achieved for the fifth consecutive year. The detected level of dis-
solved lead in special water samples remains at less than 1/2 the allowable EPA limit.
We would like to thank those homeowners who have participated in this sampling pro-
gram.
Positive results were again received through our water usage audit. The audit
compares the total gallons pumped with all known water uses, such as, customer use,
fires, flushing, construction, etc. The 1998 unaccounted water percentage is 4.1% of
the total pumped. The industry standard is <15%,
Water System Totals:
142,317,500 gallons pumped at the wellsite
389,911 gallons per day average
This represents a 3.7% reduction over 1997 usage.
Wastewater Division: Several improvements have been made to the wastewater treat-
ment facility. The most significant were to the soil filter and the compost mixing
machine. The soil filter that controls the odors from dewatering and septage receiving
was reconditioned. This project was completed in-house, saving the District $2,200.
The controls and computer program for the compost mixing machine were updated.
The mixing machine is the hydraulic powered machine that mixes sludge and amend-
ment to make the compost. This process is now working more efficiently.

INDEPENDENT A UDITOR 'S REPORT
To the Members of the
Board of Commissioners
Plymouth Village Water and Sewer District
Plymouth, New Hampshire
We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the Plymouth Village Water
and Sewer District as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998 as listed in the table of contents.
These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the District's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these general purpose financial statements based on our audit.
Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Government Accounting Standards Board Technical Bulletin 98-1, Disclosures about Year 2000 Issues,
requires disclosure of certain matters regarding the year 2000 issue. The Plymouth Village Water and
Sewer District has included such disclosures in the Notes to Financial Statements. Because of the
unprecedented nature of the year 2000 issue, its effects and the success of related remediation efforts
will not be fully determinable until the year 2000 and thereafter. Accordingly, insufficient audit
evidence exists to support the Plymouth Village Water and Sewer District's disclosures with respect to
the year 2000 issue. Further we do not provide assurance that the Plymouth Village Water and Sewer
District is or will be year 2000 ready, that the Plymouth Village Water and Sewer District's year 2000
remediation efforts will be successful in whole or in part, or that parties with which the Plymouth
Village Water and Sewer District does business will be year 2000 ready.
The general purpose financial statements referred to above do not include the general fixed assets
account group which should be included in order to conform with generally accepted accounting
principles. As is the case with most municipal entities in the State of New Hampshire, the Plymouth
Village Water and Sewer District has not maintained historical cost records of its fixed assets. The
amount that should be recorded in the general fixed assets account group is not known.
W-24
Plymouth Village Water and Sewer District
Independent Auditor's Report
In our opinion, except for the effect on the financial statements of the omission described in the
preceding paragraph, along with the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined
to be necessary had we been able to examine evidence regarding year 2000 disclosures, as noted above,
the general purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Plymouth Village Water and Sewer District, as of December 31, 1998, and the
results of its operations for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 12,
1999 on our consideration of the Plymouth Village Water and Sewer District's internal control over
financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts
and grants.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial statements
of the Plymouth Village Water and Sewer District taken as a whole. The combining and individual fund
financial statements listed as schedules in the table of contents are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the general purpose financial statements of the Plymouth Village
Water and Sewer District. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the general purpose financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all
material respects in relation to the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
This is a crucial year for the Rumney School District and the Pemi-Baker
Regional School District.
Russell Elementary School is in dire straits regarding its air quality. The carbon
dioxide levels in the building are high and could only be resolved this year by leaving
windows open. The result has been fresh air, but children have had to work in low 60
degree temperatures. High carbon dioxide levels indicate that the ventilation in the
building is poor. When carbon dioxide levels are high it is likely that other contami-
nants are high also (dust, mold, viruses, bacteria, chemicals and countless other sub-
stances). Some contaminants are released from the building, some from cleaning sup-
plies, some from food preparation, some from office supplies. The sources are virtu-
ally countless. However, increasing the air exchange rate will reduce concentrations
of carbon dioxide and the contaminants. The solution of the situation is to install mod-
ern ventilation systems in each room. This will allow our children and staff to breath
healthy air free of excess levels of carbon dioxide and contaminants. Rumney's space
needs study committee has recommended that this ventilation issue be resolved as
soon as possible and has also recommended renovation and addition to the school.
The bond for the gymnasium is now paid for and interest rates are at an all time low.
Please give this problem your most serious consideration.
Plymouth Regional High School has seen student enrollment move from 550 stu-
dents in 1992 to our present enrollment of 845 students for 1999. This represents an
average increase of 50 students per year. We anticipate that the growth will continue
and then eventually level out somewhere in the range of 900+. The building needs
study committee has been working diligently and for long hours to develop an pro-
posal which is a million dollars less than last year's proposal (actually two million
dollars less than the proposal two years ago). Members of the committee have done
this by eliminating the theater/music/art complex, foregoing reconstruction of the dri-
ves and parking areas and eliminating any athletic field construction. The committee
is recommending that we resolve the crowded conditions in theater/art/music through
renovation and members have focused the new space on the academic areas, library
and the cafeteria. Briefly our science classrooms are inadequate as laboratories. They
do not have enough space and are absent proper and safe storage. Also as many of you
know, program needs have increased in the areas of special education, computer/tech-
nology, vocational/technical education and for students at risk which has put addi-
tional pressure on our space. The library has traffic flow and space utilization prob-
lems that limit proper viewing areas and adequate use of technology. The heating and
ventilation systems have reached the limits of their usefulness and considering the
number of students in the building, must be replaced/upgraded in order to provide the
air quality necessary for nearly 1000 people (including staff) who are in the building
at any given time. The building committee's recommendations are sound, well rea-
soned and fiscally responsible. The proposal addresses the foreseeable future in the
most appropriate and economical manner. If you study the committee's proposal, I
think you will be pleased.
SAU #48 is working hard to coordinate K-12 curriculum between each elemen-
tary school and with the high school. It is important to do this because all of our stu-
S-4
dents eventually go to the high school and we also have a need to align our curricu-
lum with the State frameworks (NH Assessment). We will have finished K-12 math-
ematics by the end of this summer. Technology curriculum is being finalized and work
continues on the K-12 science curriculum. Much of this work is supported by grants
written in the SAU office.
As is our practice, we have tried to keep all of our district budgets at a minimal
increase while still providing a quality education. This has been particularly possible
because of increased state revenues which hopefully will continue. In addition, our
teachers and principals have been thoughtful and cautious in their recommendations.
I am deeply appreciative of the myriad of contributions made by our community
members, board members, and staff members. The towns within this SAU have
always been supportive of quality education and I am appreciative of the support I
have received as we continue to strive.
Respectfully submitted,
John True

PRINCIPAL'S REPORT
TO THE CITIZENS OF THE PLYMOUTH SCHOOL DISTRICT:
Plymouth Elementary School opened it's doors in September with an enrollment
almost identical to that of last year. Although there has been a flurry of movement,
enrollment is presently at 508 students. We anticipate a larger kindergarten class for
next year, which will return our enrollment to a number around 530 students.
Teachers and members of the community continue to work in several curriculum
areas. This year we are piloting a K-8 Social Studies curriculum which is aligned with
the New Hampshire State Frameworks. Presently committees are working in the areas
of science and technology.
Plymouth Elementary has been nominated as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence
by the U.S. Department of Education. The application for this honor was a lengthy
process that members of the faculty and school board completed in September. We
anticipate hearing final results this spring. We could not have been considered for this
award without the continued support of the community and a dedicated faculty.
This year's Educational Theater Collaborative (ETC) will present Fiddler on the
Roof. This collaboration with Plymouth Friends of the Arts and Plymouth State
College continues to provide our students, parents, faculty and community members
a wonderful opportunity to display their talents. For those of us less talented, it's a
time to spend an exciting evening watching our friends and family perform. We hope
everyone will have an opportunity to view this delightful production.
My thanks go to the volunteers and parents who are involved in making this
school such a wonderful place, and to the voters of the Plymouth School District who
continue to support quality education for their children, who are our future.
Respectfully submitted,
Peter F. Hutchins

PLYMOUTH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
NURSE'S REPORT
The following is the 1998 report of the Health Services at Plymouth Elementary
School:
Health Services are provided for approximately 512 students and 85 staff mem-
bers. These services encompass a variety of offerings. The health office is open daily
for first aid visits, illnesses, medication dispersal, health counseling, vision and hear-
ing checks, blood pressure, lice, scoliosis and asthma checks. Also included is com-
munication and referral to area physicians and agencies. About 70-90 students visit on
a daily basis.
My administrative duties consist of fiscal, legal, hot lunch program, monitoring
daily absences and keeping a complete health file on all students. This file consists of
immunizations, medical exams by a physician, medications and health histories,
including chronic illnesses. I am also available as a resource person for health class-
es, and periodically teach health to various classes.
Over the course of the year approximately 80 sports physicals were performed by
Plymouth Pediatrics. In April, a clinic was held here to administer measles, mumps
and rubella vaccine to incoming seventh graders. This booster is required by state law.
At this time we also offered a booster of tetanus and diphtheria to eighth graders. This
was to prepare them for entry into high school. A total of 73 students took advantage
of this clinic. In November, 40 staff members received the flu vaccine.
This year we began a new dental program in conjunction with Speare Memorial.
The program's goal is to provide dental care to children who would otherwise not
always receive care. The program consists of screening, prevention, and referral to an
area dentist for restorative care. Barbara Laverack was the dental hygienist. A total of
231 children were screened; 61 students signed up for cleaning and fluoride, 33 stu-
dents paid and 28 students were treated for free; 44 referrals to a dentist were made.
In October, 19 staff members participated in a Personal Wellness Profile spon-
sored by Blue Cross Blue Shield. The profile was administered by Catholic Medical
Center.
SAU # 48 school nurses continue to meet monthly to share information, monitor
and update policies and programs as needed.
Please contact me at any time if you have any questions in regards to your child's
health.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board
Plymouth School District
Plymouth, New Hampshire
We have audited the accompanying general-purpose financial statements of the
Plymouth School District as of and for the year ended June 30, 1998, as listed in the
table of contents. These general-purpose financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plymouth School District management. Our responsibility is to express an opin-
ion on these general-purpose financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing stan-
dards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reason-
able assurance about whether the general-purpose financial statements are free if
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence sup-
porting the amounts and disclosures in the general-purpose financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall general-purpose financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
The general-purpose financial statements referred to above do not include the
General Fixed Assets Account Group, which should be included to conform with gen-
erally accepted accounting principles. The amounts that should be recorded in the
General Fixed Assets Account Group are not known.
In our opinion, except for the effect on the general-purpose financial statements
of the omission described in the preceding paragraph, the general -purpose financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial posi-
tion of the Plymouth School District as of June 30, 1998, and the results of its opera-
tions for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting prin-
ciples.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general-
purpose financial statements taken as a whole. The individual and combining fund
financial statements and schedules listed in the table of contents are presented for pur-
poses of additional analysis and are not a required part of the general-purpose finan-
cial statements of the Plymouth School District. Such information has been subject-
ed to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the general-purpose financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to
the general-purpose financial statements taken as a whole.
