DEDICATION 


SERGEANT  WALTER  BROWN 


JOHN  OAKLEY 


This  year's  Town  Report  is  jointly  dedicated  to  two  men  who  have  serv- 
ed their  community  with  unselfish  devotion. 

Sergeant  Walter  Brown  has  announced  his  retirement  in  1992.  He 
started  as  a  full  time  Officer,  September,  1969,  and  was  promoted  to 
Sergeant  in  1973.  Brownie  will  be  missed  by  all  for  his  compassion  and 
devotion. 


It  was  with  sadness  that  we  note  the  passing  of  John  Oakley.  He  had 
served  the  Town  for  38  years  maintaining  the  clock.  Climbing  the  steeple, 
adjusting  the  mechanism,  and  repairing  the  clock  were  all  part  of  his  ef- 
forts. He  was  active  in  the  community  serving  on  the  Board  of  Selectmen 
1977  -  1981.  Planning  Board,  and  Budget  Committee.

TOWN  WARRANT 

To  the  inhabitants  of  the  Town  of  Farmington  in  the  County  of  Strafford  qualified 
to  vote  in  Town  affairs: 

You  are  hereby  notified  to  meet  at  the  Town  Hall  in  said  Farmington  on  Tues- 
day, the  tenth  day  of  March  next  (1992)  at  nine  o'clock  in  the  forenoon  to  cast 
your  ballot  for  Town  Officers  and  for  questions  required  by  law  to  be  on  the  ballot. 
Polls  will  close  no  earlier  than  7  o'clock  in  the  evening.  The  remainder  of  the  War- 
rant will  be  acted  upon  Wednesday,  the  eleventh  day  of  March,  beginning  at  7 
o'clock  in  the  evening. 

ARTICLE  1.  To  choose  one  Selectman  for  three  years,  one  Treasurer  for  one 
year,  one  Town  Clerk-Tax  Collector  for  three  years,  three  Budget 
Committee  members  for  three  years,  one  Budget  Committee 
member  for  one  year,  one  Moderator  for  two  years,  one  Super- 
visor of  the  Check  list  for  six  years,  one  Supervisor  of  the  Check 
List  for  two  years,  and  one  Trustee  of  the  Trust  Fund  for  three 
years. 

ARTICLE  2.  Are  you  in  favor  of  the  adoption  of  the  following  amendment  to 
the  Town  of  Farmington  Land  Use  Ordinance  Section  8.1  as  pro- 
posed by  the  Planning  Board  to  read:  Setback  requirements  shall 
be  as  follows:  1 12  acre  zone:  front  25  feet,  sides  and  rear  1 5  feet; 
1  acre  zone  front  40  feet,  sides  and  rear  1 5  feet;  and  3  acre  zone 
front  50  feet,  sides  and  rear  15  feet  (Recommended  by  the  Plan- 
ning Board). 

ARTICLE  3.  Shall  the  Town  vote  to  require  that  manufactured  housing  units 
(mobile  homes)  being  converted  to  storage  units  or  other  non- 
living uses  be  required  to  meet  the  BOCA  building  code  stan- 
dards for  accessory  buildings.  (Recommended  by  the  Planning 
Board) 

ARTICLE  4.  Are  you  in  favor  of  amending  the  first  paragraph  of  Article  9.1  of 
the  Land  Use  Ordinance  to  read  as  follows:  The  Housing  and  Ur- 
ban Development  Standards  for  the  regulation  of  manufactured 
housing  RSA  47:22-a.  The  Standards  shall  apply  to  all  manufac- 
tured housing  units  brought  into  town  after  the  initial  adoption  of 
the  standards  (1984).  The  Standards  shall  apply  to  any  manufac- 
tured housing  unit  moved  from  one  location  in  town  to  another 
location  in  town.  The  Standards  shall  not  apply  to  manufactured 
housing  units  that  were  placed  as  dwelling  when  the  Standards 
were  first  adopted  (1 984)  and  which  remain  in  the  same  location 
they  were  in  1984.  A  HUD  label  applied  to  the  unit  at  the  time  of 
manufacture  shall  be  prima  facie  evidence  that  an  unaltered  unit 
meets  the  Standards.  If  there  is  no  HUD  label  or  the  unit  has 
been  altered,  the  owner  must  prove  that  the  unit  meets  the  stan- 
dards. (Recommended  by  the  Planning  Board). 


ARTICLE  5.  Are  you  in  favor  of  amending  the  Farmington  Land  Use 
Ordinance  to  delete  Section  3.8  and  replacing  it,  by  adding  a  new 
section,  the  Waterfront  Protection  Overlay  Zone  as  proposed  by 
the  Planning  Board.  These  regulations  would  authorize  the 
Ranning  Board  to  control  certain  activities  within  250  feet  of  any 
water  body  and  more  strictly  limit  development  within  100  feet  of 
water  bodies  in  parts  of  town  not  on  the  municipal  waste  water 
system  and  within  50  feet  of  water  bodies  in  areas  serviced  by 
the  municipal  waste  water  system.  A  water  body  is  defined  as 
ponds  over  5  acres  and  streams  that  normally  run  12  months  a 
year.  Copies  of  this  proposed  amendment  are  available  for 
inspection  at  the  Town  Clerk's  office,  the  Code  Enforcement 
Office,  the  Selectmen's  Office,  and  posted  in  the  Town  Hall, 
Osgoods,  and  the  Post  Office.  (Recommended  by  the  Planning 
Board) 

ARTICLE  6.  Are  you  in  favor  of  amending  the  Farmington  Land  Use 
Ordinance  by  adding  a  new  section,  the  Wetlands  Conservation 
Overlay  District,  as  proposed  by  the  Planning  Board.  These 
regulations  would  apply  to  all  wetlands  within  the  Town.  Three 
classes  of  wetlands  would  be  designated  based  upon 
established  criteria.  They  would  prohibit  some  activities  and 
regulate  other  activities  that  could  occur  in  wetlands  and  certain 
activities  within  100  feet  of  Class  1  and  50  feet  of  Class  2 
wetlands,  while  Class  3  wetlands  would  not  be  restricted  by  this 
regulation.  Copies  of  this  proposed  amendment  are  available  for 
inspection  at  the  Town  Clerk's  office,  the  Selectmen's  office,  the 
Code  Enforcement  Office  and  posted  in  the  Town  Hall, 
Osgood's,  and  the  Post  Office.  (Recommended  by  the  Planning 
Board) 

ARTICLE  7.  To  see  if  the  Town  will  vote  to  establish  partisan  elections  for 
local  (town)  elective  office  in  the  next,  upcoming  town  election, 
(be  petition) 

ARTICLE  8.  Shall  the  Town  vote  to  adopt  the  following:  No  tenant  shall  be 
eligible  to  receive  public  assistance  unless  the  landlord  first 
obtain  from  the  Code  Enforcement  Officer  a  certificate  of 
compliance  with  the  Farmington  Housing  Maintenance  code 
adopted  in  1986  and  the  N.H.  Life  Safety  Code  (NFPA  101). 


ARTICLE  9.  To  see  if  the  Town  will  vote  to  indemnify  and  hold  harmless  the 
Selectmen,  administrative  staff,  or  agencies  for  any  loss,  claims 
or  causes  of  action  arising  out  of  or  in  the  course  of  performance 
of  their  official  duties. 


ARTICLE  10.  To  authorize  the  Selectmen  to  sell  to  the  highest  bidder 
municipal  vehicles  including  two  fire  trucks,  one  automobile,  and 
other  equipment  as  determined  by  the  Selectmen. 

ARTICLE  11.  To  see  if  the  Town  will  vote  to  authorize  the  Board  of  Selectmen 
to  apply  for,  receive,  and  expend  without  further  action  by  Town 
Meeting,  Federal,  and  State  grants  which  may  become  available 
during  the  course  of  the  year,  in  accordance  with  RSA  31:95-b 
and  also  to  accept  and  expend  money  from  any  governmental 
unit  or  private  source  without  further  action  by  Town  Meeting,  to 
be  used  for  purposes  for  which  the  town  may  legally  appropriate 
money. 

ARTICLE  12.  To  see  if  the  Town  will  vote  to  raise  and  appropriate  the  sum  of 
$2,476,337  (two  million  four  hundred  seventy-six  thousand  three 
hundred  thirty-seven  dollars)  for  the  operation,  expenses,  and 
commitments  of  the  Town  Government  which  represents  the 
bottom  line  of  column  No.  3  (the  Selectmen's  budget)  in  the 
posted  budget  (MS-7).  Said  sum  is  exclusive  of  special  article  13 
and  1 4.  (Budget  Committee  recommends  $2,485,029  (two  million 
four  hundred  eighty-five  thousand  twenty-nine  dollars)  exclusive 
of  articles  13  and  14). 

ARTICLE  13.  Due  to  the  fact  that  the  Farmington  Fire  Department,  being  a 
part  of  the  Town  of  Farmington,  has  had  communications  pro- 
blems with  their  radios,  we  the  undersigned  (petitioners)  feel  that 
it  puts  the  firefighters  in  a  dangerous  situation,  even  life  threaten- 
ing. We  are  asking  the  Town  of  Farmington  voters  to  raise  and 
appropriate  the  sum  of  $37,274.00  to  purchase  VHF  High  band 
radios,  consisting  of  one  repeater,  one  base  station,  seven 
mobile  radios,  eight  portable  radios,  thirty-three  pagers.  All  pur- 
chases will  be  made  only  after  the  Farmington  Fire  Department 
has  been  issued  (two)  VHF  high  band  radio  licenses,  (by  petiion) 
(Not  recommended  by  the  Budget  Committee) 

ARTICLE  14.  To  see  if  the  Town  will  vote  to  raise  and  appropriate  $667  for  the 
Woman's  Resource  Center,  (by  petition)  (Not  recommended  by 
the  Budget  Committee) 


ARTICLE  15.  To  see  if  the  Town  will  vote  to  pay  only  under  protest  any  and  all 
sums  mandated  by  the  State  in  violation  of  the  State  Constitution 
which  are  included  in  this  budget  and  which  the  Board  of  Select- 
men deem  expedient  to  pay  pending  resolution  of  their  constitu- 
tionality and  to  refuse  to  pay  those  sums  mandated  by  the  State 
in  violation  of  the  State  Constitution  which  the  Board  of  Select- 
men deem  inexpedient  to  pay. 


ARTICLE  16.  To  see  if  the  Town  will  vote  to  authorize  the  Selectmen  to  borrow 
notes  to  the  credit  of  the  Town  such  sums  of  money  as  may  be 
necessary  to  meet  current  expenses  in  anticipation  of  Taxes. 

ARTICLE  17.  To  see  if  the  Town  will  vote  to  authorize  the  Board  of  Selectmen 
to  accept  on  behalf  of  the  town  gifts,  legacies,  and  devises  made 
to  the  town  in  trust  for  any  public  purpose,  as  permitted  by  RSA 
31:19. 

ARTICLE  18.  To  see  if  the  Town  will  vote  to  authorize  the  Board  of  Selectmen 
to  transfer  Tax  Liens  and  convey  property  acquired  by  the  Town 
by  Tax  Collector's  Deed  by  Public  Auction  (or  advertised  sealed 
bids)  or  in  such  other  manner  as  determined  by  the  Selectmen  as 
justice  may  require. 

ARTICLE  19.  To  see  if  the  Town  will  vote  to  discontinue  the  section  of  Dick 
Dame  Lane  which  has  been  replaced  by  a  new  road  as  a  result 
of  a  subdivision  as  shown  on  plot  No.  40-4  at  Strafford  County 
Registry  of  Deeds  on  land  of  Paul  and  Elmer  Barron  provided  no 
damages  are  sought  by  landowners. 

ARTICLE  20.  To  see  if  the  Town  will  amend  the  Solid  Waste  Disposal  Regula- 
tions, Section  III  H  Unacceptable  Waste  to  include  those  items 
voted  by  the  Board  of  Selectmen,  June  4,  1990  as  unacceptable 
and  conditionally  acceptable.  Copies  of  the  items  are  available  in 
the  Town  Clerk's  Office  and  the  Selectmen's  office. 

ARTICLE  21.  To  see  if  the  Town  will  vote  that  the  responsible  party  for  any 
hazardous  material  incident  will  be  financially  responsible  for  the 
costs  of  all  clean  up  including  costs  of  all  emergency  response 
costs.  The  property  owner  will  be  the  responsible  party  unless 
evidence  clearly  indicates  otherwise. 

ARTICLE  22.  To  see  if  the  Town  will  vote  to  reverse  action  taken  at  the  March 
1 983  Town  Meeting  and  will  grant  the  Selectmen  the  authority  to 
utilize  the  entire  Town  Hall  for  all  ages  as  they  deem  reasonable. 
The  ten  year  restriction  placed  upon  part  of  the  basement,  in  ex- 
change for  Federal  money  for  renovations  to  the  Senior  Citizen 
Center,  expires  in  the  fall  of  1992. 

ARTICLE  23.  To  transact  such  other  business  as  may  legally  come  before  this 
meeting. 


We  hereby  certify  that  on  the  fourteenth  day  of  February  1992,  we  posted  an 
attested  copy  of  the  within  warrant  to  the  place  of  Meeting  within  named  and  a 
like  copy  at  the  Farmington  Post  Office,  a  public  place  in  said  Town.

INDEPENDENT  AUDITOR'S  REPORT  ON  FINANCIAL  PRESENTATION 

To  the  Town  Manager  and 

Members  of  the  Board  of  Selectmen 
Town  of  Farmington 
Farmington,  New  Hampshire 

We  have  audited  the  accompaning  general  purpose  financial  statements  and 
the  combining  and  individual  fund  financial  statements  of  the  Town  of  Farmington 
as  of  and  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1990,  as  listed  in  the  table  of  con- 
tents. These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Town's  manage- 
ment. Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  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 
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  opi- 
nion. 

As  described  in  Note  IB,  the  general  purpose  financial  statements  referred  to 
above  do  not  include  the  General  Fixed  Asset  Account  Group,  which  should  be  in- 
cluded to  conform  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  The  amount 
that  should  be  recorded  in  the  General  Fixed  Asset  Account  Group  is  not  known. 

In  our  opinion,  except  that  omission  of  the  General  Fixed  Asset  Account  Group 
results  in  an  incomplete  presentation,  as  explained  in  the  above  paragraph,  the 
general  purpose  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all 
material  respects,  the  financial  position  of  the  Town  of  Farmington  as  of 
December  31,  1990,  and  the  results  of  its  operations  (and  cash  flows  of  nonex- 
pendable trust  funds)  for  the  year  then  ended,  in  conformity  with  generally  ac- 
cepted accounting  principles.  Also,  in  our  opinion,  the  combining  and  individual 
fund  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects, 
the  financial  position  of  each  of  the  individual  funds  of  the  Town  as  of  December 
31,  1990,  and  the  results  of  operations  of  such  funds  for  the  year  then  ended,  in 
conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.

ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  PLANNING  BOARD  FOR  1991 

Despite  the  continued  economic  slowdown,  the  Planning  Board  has  had  a  busy 
and  prosperous  year.  We  are  pleased  to  welcome  two  new  Board  Members:  Earl 
Simonsen  and  Skip  Sansoucy:  and  will  miss  the  dedicated  service  of  Emmanuel 
(Manny)  Krasner  who  served  this  Board  for  twelve  years.  Mr.  Krasner  retired  from 
the  Board  in  March  of  1991  in  order  to  be  able  to  pursue  other  goals. 

A  total  of  30  applications  were  made  to  the  Planning  Board  during  1991 :  1  for 
Earth  Removal,  1 3  for  Subdivisions  and  1 4  for  Site  Review  (9  of  which  requested  a 
waiver  of  site  review  and  were  granted  the  waivers,  4  were  approved  and  1  was 
denied  for  lack  of  information  and  improper  plan.)  An  additional  2  were  presented 
to  the  Board  for  revision  of  their  original  plan. 

Several  Subcommittees  were  organized  which  dealt  with  the  following  areas: 

CAPITAL  IMPROVEMENTS:  This  subcommittee  worked  diligently  to  compile 
much  of  the  necessary  information.  They  were  aided  by  the  Selectmen  and  all 
town  department  heads.  The  project  is  scheduled  for  completion  in  1992. 

WETLANDS  ORDINANCE:  The  group  reviewed  and  amended  an  ordinance 
which  will  be  presented  to  the  voters  in  March  of  1992. 

WATERFRONT  PROTECTION  OVERLAY  ZONE:  Also  reviewed  and  amended 
for  presentation  to  the  voters  in  March  of  1992. 

Additional  items  worked  on  by  the  Planning  Board  during  1991  some  of  which 
will  be  presented  to  the  voters  consist  of:  specific  time  limits  for  conditional  ap- 
provals and  approved  subdivisions;  clarification  of  existing  mobile  home  regula- 
tions and  changes  in  the  set-back  requirements. 

The  Board  wishes  to  express  its  appreciation  to  the  Selectmen,  the  Conserva- 
tion Commission  and  all  department  heads  for  their  help  and  cooperation  in 
various  endeavors  and  look  forward  to  their  continued  assistance  as  we  move  in- 
to 1992. 

Respectfully  submitted,

REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  SELECTMEN 

1 991  was  a  year  of  challenges  to  find  ways  to  fund  projects  without  using  addi- 
tional property  tax  dollars.  The  settlement  with  Davidson  provided  $525,000 
which  the  Town  spent  for  two  new  wells  and  a  fire  engine.  There  is  admiration  for 
the  new  fire  engine  which  arrived  in  December.  It  is  a  1 500  gallon  pumper-tanker 
that  was  custom  built  to  specifications  drawn  up  by  the  Fire  Department.  The 
construction  of  a  pump  station  for  the  new  wells  is  nearly  complete  and  the  well 
should  be  in  use  in  March  of  1992.  Two  State  Grants  assisted  in  energy  im- 
provements and  the  Town's  recycling  efforts.  The  baler  was  installed  at  the  land- 
fill and  a  new  storage  building  constructed  with  50  percent  State  funds.  The  State 
also  paid  50  percent  of  the  cost  of  Energy  improvements  to  the  Fire  Station  and 
Waste  Water  Treatment  plant  for  improvements  ranging  from  new  overhead 
doors  to  an  electronic  variable  speed  drive.  The  Town  participated  with  the  State 
in  a  Waste  load  Allocation  Study  of  the  Cocheco  River  to  determine  the  effect  of 
any  proposed  increase  of  effluent  from  the  waste  water  plant.  This  study  would 
have  cost  the  Town  $50,000,  but  with  State  help  the  cost  to  the  Town  was  $3,400. 
While  the  Town's  application  for  a  CDBG  grant  scored  well,  the  State's  funds 
were  exhausted  so  that  the  Town  did  not  receive  housing  money.  A  new  applica- 
tion is  being  readied  for  1992  seeking  $350,000. 

It  was  a  shock  to  learn  of  the  sudden  death  of  John  Oakley,  who  was  caretaker 
of  the  Town  Clock  for  28  years  and  also  served  in  other  capacities  including 
Selectmen,  Budget  Committee,  and  Planning  Board.  He  will  be  missed.  After  five 
years,  the  Town  Hall  custodian,  Roger  Belanger  left.  He  continues  to  be  active  in 
the  publication  of  Puddledock  Press.  A  new  police  officer  was  hired,  Randy  Sobel. 
Desert  Storm  took  Police  Officer  Dan  Yoder  to  Montana  for  several  weeks.  We  all 
rejoiced  to  see  him  and  all  the  other  military  personnel  from  Farmington  return 
safely.  The  Board  hired  Francis  Marcoux  who  has  done  an  excellent  custodial  job 
at  the  Town  Hall.  Francis  worked  with  volunteers  to  oversee  painting  the  Town 
Hall  interior,  including  the  gym  and  its  ceiling. 

While  the  entire  fire  department  deserves  recognition  for  their  efforts  to  pro- 
tect the  community,  the  Board  wishes  to  give  special  recognition  to  Gary  Pageau, 
who  at  risk  to  his  own  life,  rescued  a  resident  of  Green  Street  from  a  burning  living 
unit. 

On  the  legal  front,  the  Town  was  successful  in  defending  a  suit  regarding 
drainage  into  Kicking  Horse  Brook  and  in  obtaining  a  cleanup  order  for  a 
machinery  junk  yard. 

A  survey  of  the  landfill  revealed  continued  life  expectancy  and  enabled  the 
Selectmen  to  plan  more  economically  for  the  eventual  closure.  The  Town  par- 
ticipated in  a  Hazardous  Household  Waste  Collection  day.  High  prices  for  scrap 
metal  enabled  the  Town  to  have  the  metal  removed  at  no  cost. 

The  downtown  continued  to  see  improvements  with  new  sidewalks  on  Main 


64 


Hill.  One  phase  of  paving  on  the  Ten  Rod  Road  was  completed.  Shimming  was 
done  on  Meeting  House  Hill  Road,  Spring  Street,  Ten  Rod  Road,  Grove  Street, 
and  other  shorter  sections  of  streets.  A  winter  maintenance  plan  was  adopted. 

In  closing  we  wish  to  thank  our  outstanding  staff  of  dedicated  employees  who 
have  carried  out  our  policies  and  services.  We  thank  all  the  businesses  and  their 
owners  who  have  donated  time,  goods,  money,  and  equipment  for  a  multitude  of 
causes.  We  thank  Mr.  and  Mrs.  James  Thayer  for  their  many  contributions  in- 
cluding a  FAX  machine  to  the  police,  new  lights  for  the  Town  Clock,  and  a  trust 
fund  to  pay  the  electricity  in  perpetuity  on  those  lights.  We  also  express  our 
deepest  gratitude  to  the  many  individuals  who  have  given  freely  of  their  time  to 
serve  on  committees  and  boards  for  the  Town.  These  efforts  have  been  a  tremen- 
dous boost  to  the  community,  and  we  thank  them  for  their  time,  help  and  dedica- 
tion. We  also  thank  the  many  citizens  who  have  contributed  their  time  and  efforts 
in  other  ways.  It  is  as  a  community  working  together  that  we  are  able  to  say  with 
pride,  "We  live  in  Farmington."

FARMINGTON  POLICE  DEPARTMENT 
1991  ANNUAL  REPORT 

The  Police  Department  is  proud  to  report  to  its  bosses,  the  people,  what  has 
occurred  during  the  past  year  and  what  the  department  wants  to  accomplish  for 
1992. 

First,  let's  start  with  personnel.  The  department  had  one  Officer  called  to  duty 
for  the  Desert  Storm  Operation  and  for  quite  sometime  he  was  away,  stationed  in 
Montana.  We  had  another  Officer  on  a  special  assignment  across  the  State  in 
Claremont,  New  Hampshire  helping  out  in  a  drug  investigation  for  about  3 
months.  We  had  one  Officer  in  the  police  academy  for  almost  3  months.  We  had 
two  other  Officers  who  were  on  notice  for  possible  activation  regarding  the 
Desert  Storm  Operation  and  we  had  a  position  that  we  were  trying  to  fill.  Basically 
the  Department  was  short  handed  by  40  percent  for  about  25  percent  of  the  en- 
tire year.  The  department  was  able  to  hire  a  New  Hampshire  certified  officer 
hereby  saving  the  Town  several  thousand  dollars  in  training  costs.  This  officer 
started  around  the  first  of  May.  Additionally,  throughout  the  year  we  had  officers 
out  on  workmen's  compensation  resulting  in  several  months  of  lost  time. 

Second,  training;  the  department  and  Town,  through  the  Board  of  Selectmen, 
have  a  strong  and  deep  commitment  to  training  the  officers  and  staff  in  order  to 
minimize  officer  stress,  increase  ability,  deter  lawsuits  and  provide  the  best  possi- 
ble police  service  for  the  funds  allocated.  The  department  and  officers  attended 
training  on  hazardous  waste,  crime  scene  photography,  narcotic  prosecution, 


65 


establishing  a  defensive  emergency  vehicle  operation  program,  drug  identifica- 
tion, sexual  assault  investigation,  basic  fingerprinting  and  DWI  programs  to  name 
a  few.  The  office  staff  attended  training  on  stress  in  the  workplace,  and  on 
Uniform  Crime  Reporting  updates. 

Third,  in  looking  at  police  operations  we  fared  well  despite  having  40  percent  of 
the  department  away  due  to  injuries,  special  assignment,  the  Police  Academy 
and  a  war  for  a  good  portion  of  the  year.  The  department  presented  almost  1200 
cases  to  the  Rochester  District  Court  for  prosecution.  That  statistic  would  have 
been  higher  if  the  department  had  been  at  full  strength  for  the  whole  year.  The 
court  assessed  $31 ,923.80  in  fines,  levied  21  years  worth  of  license  suspensions, 
committed  people  to  jail  for  384  days  and  suspended  over  3  years  worth  of  jail 
time  for  violators. 

The  department  conducted  a  dozen  directed  patrols  around  town  in  order  to 
deal  with  speeding,  suspicious  activity,  trespassing  or  other  criminal  activity.  We 
helped  conduct  McGruff  and  child  fingerprinting  programs  for  the  Farmington  Na- 
tional Bank  and  the  Milton  Police  Department  and  when  school  began  we 
reinstituted  our  school  lunch  program.  In  the  schools,  we  participated  in  driver 
education  classes  and  in  health  classes  dealing  with  alcohol  awareness. 

This  department  initiated  the  concept  of  a  Strafford  County  regionalized  Drug 
Task  Force.  The  County  Attorney's  office  and  other  departments  began  to  sup- 
|X)rt  the  idea,  however,  the  Attorney's  General  office  turned  down  our  request  at 
funding.  We  continued  to  meet  with  the  County  Attorney  and  apparently  the  At- 
torney's General  Office  noticed  because  progress  has  been  made  recently  on  the 
concept  of  regionalizing  resources.  The  future  looks  promising  in  this  area. 

We  sponsored  a  meeting  of  the  New  Hampshire  Criminal  Investigators 
Association  at  which  there  were  representatives  from  State,  Local  and  Federal 
agencies.  In  August  a  drug  talk  was  presented  to  several  Yugoslavian  students  by 
our  detectives. 

Fourth,  regarding  equipment,  the  department  received  a  FAX  machine  as  a 
donation  from  the  Thayer  family,  t  want  to  thank  them  ever  so  much.  The  machine 
has  been  a  great  help  in  sending  and  receiving  information.  We  obtained  a  new 
copier,  Conway  Office  Products  also  brought  a  nice  stand  for  it  at  no  cost  to  the 
department.  Progress  was  made  in  protecting  the  Office  staff  as  a  new  bullet 
proof  window  was  installed.  I  feel  very  confident  that  the  Town  received  a  dollars 
worth  of  service  for  each  budget  dollar  expended. 

Next,  I  would  like  to  turn  to  1992,  already  the  department  has  expanded  ser- 
vices over  last  year.  The  DARE  program  began  in  January  and  the  school  lunch 
program  has  been  reinitiated  and  will  continue  until  school  gets  out. 

We  are  researching  possible  grants  from  the  Department  of  Transportation 
and  the  New  England  State  Police  Information  Network  regarding  DWI  and  drug 


66 


programs  respectively.  We  will  be  working  throughout  the  year  ori  revamping  our 
rules  and  regulations,  policies  and  procedures  to  ensure  that  we  are  in  com- 
pliance with  the  Americans  With  Disabilities  Act  that  was  passed  by  Congress. 
The  State  is  going  to  a  new  Uniform  Crime  Reporting  format  in  which  53 
categories  will  be  required  and  tracked  instead  of  the  current  8  categories,  so  we 
must  prepare  for  these  changes  that  are  coming  in  1992.  We  will  be  looking  into 
national  accreditation  for  the  department,  which  is  similar  to  accreditation  re- 
ceived by  schools  and  hospitals,  by  complying  with  certain  national  standards.  In 
this  program  there  are  944  standards  set  down  by  the  accreditation  commission. 

Lastly,  I  want  to  mention  Sergeant  Walter  W.  Brown.  As  most  people  know  by 
now  he  is  retiring  in  June  of  this  year  and  I  want  to  take  a  minute  to  reflect  upon 
Walter  and  his  service  to  the  community.  Sergeant  Brown  has  been  dedicated  to 
the  department  and  to  the  Town.  His  knowledge  of  people  and  his  easy  going 
style  have  reflected  favorably  upon  the  department  but  most  importantly  upon 
himself.  When  I  started  as  Chief  in  1987  I'm  sure  he  had  some  uncertainty  as  to 
what  to  expect.  Walter  became  more  knowledgeable  and  attained  many  skills.  He 
constantly  showed  an  interest  in  improving  himself  and  he  became  more  profi- 
cient in  his  duties.  It  was  always  Walter  I  turned  to  when  I  needed  information 
about  a  person  or  that  person's  family.  I  was  never  disappointed  in  that  area. 
Walter  and  I  have  on  many  occasions  talked  about  the  changes  in  law  enforce- 
ment and  the  young  men  entering  into  the  field  and  what  I  remember  most 
distinctly  is  Walter's  compassion  for  people  and  how  he  tried  to  treat  every  per- 
son just  like  he  would  like  to  be  treated.  I  wish  him  many  happy  and  full  years  in 
his  retirement.

HIGHWAY  DEPARTMENT  1991  ANNUAL  REPORT 

To  the  good  citizens  of  the  Town  of  Farmington,  N.H.  The  Farmington  Highway 
Department  was  involved  in  many  various  activities  over  the  past  fiscal  year. 

Many  of  you  might  have  seen  the  crew  this  past  summer  paving  the 
Meetinghouse  Hill  Road,  which  was  shim  coated  in  house  with  our  own  equip- 
ment and  I'm  proud  to  say  our  own  new  paving  drag  box.  The  distance  covered 
was  2  3/4  miles.  We  also  paved  1  mile  on  Spring  Street  and  the  paved  portion  of 
the  River  Road. 

The  Highway  Department  also  reconstructed  the  grade  and  drainage  system 
and  built  a  new  fence  along  part  of  the  sidewalk  on  Tappan  Street  from  the  Goslin 
property  to  the  parking  lot  of  Bud  Star  Market. 

Again  this  year  the  Town  of  Farmington  subcontracted  the  sidewalk  project 
from  Grove  Street  to  School  Street  to  Unex  Construction.  Due  to  budget  con- 


67 


straints  the  Highway  Department  completed  the  proposed  project  from  the 
Lafavour  property  on  North  Main  Street  to  Courtland  Street  upgrading  storm  drain 
pipes,  raising  storm  drain  covers  to  correct  grades  and  completing  to  the 
sidewalk  to  finish  grade. 

Again  this  year  we  are  still  in  the  process  of  replacing,  upgrading  and  installing 
new  culverts  throughout  the  Town  and  the  country  road  ways.  The  Department 
extended  the  storm  drain  system  on  Pleasant  Street  and  repaired  the  road  ser- 
vice with  our  own  in  house  equipment. 

Dedicated  to  do  our  best  at  holding  the  line  on  property  taxes,  many  of  the 
aforementioned  projects  were  done  with  State  subsidy  monies. 

The  Board  of  Selectmen  adopted  a  Winter  Maintenance  Plan. 

I  would  like  to  take  this  time  to  thank  the  Citizens  of  Farmington  and  the  Board 
of  Selectmen  for  their  continued  support  in  what  the  Highway  Department  tries  to 
do.  We  look  forward  to  many  years  of  continued  service  in  the  years  to  come. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
Clark  Hackett,  Road  Agent 


ANNUAL  REPORT  1991 
FARMINGTON  ZONING  BOARD  OF  ADJUSTMENT 

Once  again  it  is  my  pleasure  to  report  on  the  activities  of  the  Farmington  Zon- 
ing Board  of  Adjustment.  This  is  a  volunteer  board,  appointed  by  the  Selectmen. 
Our  job  is  to  hear  appeals  requesting  variances  and  special  exceptions  to  the  Far- 
mington town  ordinance,  or  appeals  from  administrative  decisions  made  by  town 
officials.  I  am  extremely  pleased  that  we  have  earned  the  reputation  (well  de- 
served) of  being  a  democratic  board  which  conducts  fair  and  impartial  hearings. 
We  continue  to  update  our  knowledge  with  changes  in  state  zoning  laws  and 
trends  in  state  planning.  During  the  fall,  some  members  attended  the  16th  Annual 
Municipal  Law  Lecture  Series. 

During  1 991 ,  the  Board  held  1 7  public  hearings.  Seven  of  these  were  requests 
for  variances,  seven  were  for  special  exceptions,  and  three  were  appeals  from 
administrative  decisions.  Of  the  request  for  special  exceptions,  all  were  granted; 
of  the  request  for  variances,  4  were  granted.  Regarding  the  appeals  from  ad- 
ministrative decisions,  one  appeal  was  granted,  the  other  two  were  denied. 

Some  requests  for  variances  over  the  last  few  years  have  led  the  Board  to 
question  the  fairness  of  certain  ordinances,  such  as  the  setback  requirements  in 
the  1-  and  3-acre  zones.  The  Planning  Board  took  over  our  input  under  advise- 
ment and  has  since  proposed  amendments  to  the  Land  Use  Ordinance. 


68 


The  Board  collected  application  fees  totalling  $819.00.  These  fees  cover  the 
cost  of  processing  applications,  such  as  postage  (notification  of  public  hearings 
are  sent  to  abutters  by  certified  mail,  return  receipt  requested)  and  newspaper 
advertisements.

REPORT  OF  THE  CODE  ENFORCEMENT  OFFICE 

In  1991  the  Code  Enforcement  Office  v^as  asked  to  take  an  active  role  in 
Economic  Development  by  assisting  existing  industries  and  businesses  in  their 
efforts  to  expand  and  also  to  work  with  new  industries  and  businesses  that  are 
considering  Farmington  as  a  location  for  future  development. 

There  is  considerable  interest  in  Farmington  due  to  the  large  tracts  of  land  on 
Route  1 1  that  are  available.  However,  the  lack  of  sewer  and  water  limits  the  prac- 
tical uses. 

In  1991  the  Code  Enforcement  Office  reviewed  96  construction  plans,  issued 
92  building  permits  valued  at  $1 ,333,575  and  issued  45  electrical  permits.  The  of- 
fice also  renewed  125  building  permits  from  1990  and  1989  which  are  still  pend- 
ing completion.  The  building  permits  are  broken  down  as  follows: 

New  Homes    7 

Mobile  Homes 9 

Residential  Repairs/Alterations 20 

Residential  Additions 29 

Residential  Outbuildings 7 

Commercial  Buildings 3 

Commercial  Repairs/Alterations 13 

Others 4 

Renewals    1 25 

62  complaints  were  investigated  with  3  resulting  in  court  action.  796  construc- 
tion and  electrical  inspections  were  conducted.  9  life  safety  inspections  were 
conducted  at  the  request  of  the  property  owner.  38  evening  meetings  of  the  Plan- 
ning and  Zoning  Boards  were  attended  as  well  as  4  seminars  totalling  10  days 
and  3  evenings. 

The  Code  Enforcement  Office  scheduled  27  applicants  for  new  business 
before  the  Planning  Board  and  23  applicants  for  Public  Hearings.  These  ap- 
plicants require  from  1/2  hour  to  several  hours  to  complete  each  application  and 
review  their  plans  for  compliance  to  Town  and  State  Regulations. 

All  applications  to  the  Zoning  Board  of  Adjustment  are  processed  through  the 
Code  Enforcement  Office  and  the  office  receives  many  inquiries  relating  to 


69 


Variances,  Special  Exceptions  and  Appeals  of  Adnninistrative  Decisions.  Many 
applicants,  when  nnade  aware  of  the  criteria  which  must,  (by  law)  be  met,  to 
receive  a  variance,  do  not  go  forward,  which  results  in  fewer  public  hearings. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Donald  J.  Gilbert 

Code  Enforcement  Officer 


WATER  DEPARTMENT 
1991  ANNUAL  TOWN  REPORT 

The  two  new  wells  (No.  4  and  5)  are  installed  and  awaiting  pumps.  The  pipeline 
work  is  90  percent  complete  and  the  control  building  is  almost  entirely  enclosed. 
The  entire  job  should  be  completed  by  mid-March.  The  addition  of  these  two  wells 
provides  a  much  needed  backup  water  supply  with  a  reserve  capacity  to  meet  the 
needs  of  the  Town  for  the  forseeable  future. 

We  pumped  approximately  91,604,000  gallons  of  water  or  an  average  of 
251 ,000  gallons  per  day  from  Well  No.  3  and  approximately  1 2,  324,000  gallons  of 
water  or  an  average  of  33,764  gallons  per  day  from  Well  No.  2. 

Our  goal  for  the  next  few  years  will  be  to  replace  and  clean  water  mains  that 
are  undersized  and  deteriorated  principally  in  the  Bunker  and  Glen  Street  areas. 
The  storage  tank  was  inspected  in  1991 ,  and  found  to  be  in  good  shape.  The  tank 
is  scheduled  to  be  cleaned  in  1992. 

We  started  getting  persistent  bacterial  violations  in  1990  and  had  one  in 
January  1991,  so  it  was  decided  to  go  to  permanent  chlorination  on  January  24, 
1991 .  Since  we  have  done  this,  there  has  been  only  one  violation  in  May.  We  are 
adding  a  minimum  dose  of  chlorine  and  trying  not  to  effect  the  taste  of  the  water. 

The  New  Hampshire  Department  of  Transportation  was  supposed  to  rebuild 
the  Tappan  Street  Bridge  in  1991,  so  we  decided  to  place  the  water  main  in  the 
street  and  across  the  bridge.  This  would  remove  an  old  6"  main  that  goes  under 
part  of  the  Catholic  Church  building  and  through  the  river  bed.  NHDOT  had  an 
emergency  bridge  replacement  job  and  was  not  able  to  replace  the  bridge  as 
planned  in  1991.  We  brought  the  required  materials  and  tied  into  the  Central 
Street  main  and  laid  several  sections  of  pipe  towards  the  bridge.  This  job  is  now 
scheduled  for  completion  in  1992,  depending  on  State  priorities.

WASTEWATER  DEPARTMENT 
1991  ANNUAL  TOWN  REPORT 

The  Wastewater  plant  treated  75,648,000  gallons  of  sewage  or  an  average 
flow  of  207,300  gallons  per  day.  The  biochemical  oxygen  demand  average 
removal  was  94  percent  and  the  suspended  solids  average  removal  was  92  per- 
cent for  the  year.  The  Discharge  permit  requires  a  minimum  of  85  percent 
removal  for  both  so  the  plant  is  operating  very  well.  There  were  no  major  capital 
items  replaced  in  1991  -  just  the  maintenance  of  the  existing  equipment  and 
structures.  All  units  are  operational. 

The  State  is  conducting  a  study  of  the  Cocheco  River  and  how  the  effluent  ef- 
fects the  quality  of  the  river.  This  is  called  an  assimilative  capacity  study.  The  out- 
come of  this  study  should  be  available  by  the  end  of  January  or  beginning  of 
February,  1992.  This  study  will  determine  what  changes  the  plant  will  have  to 
make  and  whether  the  sewer  moratorium  can  be  lifted.  We  will  review  this  study 
and  use  1992  to  look  at  various  options  and  make  long  range  plans  for  upgrading 
the  plant  to  meet  the  Town's  future  needs. 

The  Wastewater  Department  participated  with  the  State  in  an  energy  grant  of 
50/50  matching  funds.  This  grant  provided  for  the  installation  of  an  oil  fired 
heating  system  with  the  electric  heating  system  being  reduced  to  a  backup  only. 
The  garage  door  was  replaced  with  an  insulated  door  and  deadlights  added  to  the 
windows.  Several  louvers  were  covered  over  permanently  and  one  temporarily 
(winter  only)  to  reduce  heat  loss.  Two  variable  frequency  inverters  were  added  to 
the  return  sludge  pumps  with  new  nonslip  belt/sheave  drives  to  increase  their  effi- 
ciency. These  energy  improvements  are  calculated  to  save  $4,285  per  year  with 
a  simple  combined  payback  of  3.2  years.

PARKS  AND  RECREATION 

The  Parks  and  Recreation  Department  is  proud  to  have  added  more  programs 
to  its  schedule  that  are  free  to  the  adults  and  children  of  Farmlngton  this  year.  As 
the  economic  times  get  tougher  for  everyone,  we  know  how  important  it  is  to  have 
affordable  recreation  available  to  as  many  citizens  as  possible. 

This  year  we  have  added  a  Junior  High  Recreation  basketball  league  into  our 
winter  schedule.  With  basketball  being  as  popular  as  it  is  in  Farmington,  we  were 
able  to  put  together  a  league  of  four  teams  with  ten  players  each.  Also  new  this 
year  is  a  coed  adult  volleyball  league  with  four  teams  of  eight  players  each.  This 
allows  couples  to  enjoy  a  night  of  recreation  together,  rather  than  two  separate 
nights  for  men  and  women. 


71 


We  are  especially  proud  of  our  1991  high  school  rec  basketball  team  who  took 
second  place  in  the  Northeast  Basketball  League.  This  league  is  comprised  of 
teams  from  much  larger  cities  such  as  Dover,  Rochester  and  Seabrook.  The  team 
was  chosen  after  the  high  school  teams  and  was  therefore  made  of  players  who 
would  not  have  played  because  of  grades  or  those  who  felt  they  could  not  play 
high  school  ball.  Our  recreation  assistant,  Steve  Mosher,  coached  the  team,  ar- 
ranged to  have  the  play-offs  in  Farmington  for  the  first  time  and  was  elected  to 
the  position  of  vice  president  of  the  league  for  the  1991-1992  season. 

Hay  Day  was  one  of  our  most  successful  yet,  but  do  not  be  fooled,  we  are 
always  looking  for  new  ideas  for  Hay  Day.  If  you  have  any  ideas  for  an  event,  do 
not  be  shy,  give  us  a  call  we  may  put  you  and  your  idea  to  work.  A  fresh  face  often 
brings  with  it  fresh  ideas.  We  are  also  open  to  any  ideas  for  new  programs  of  any 
kind,  so  if  you  have  anything  you  would  like  to  see  going  on  give  us  a  call. 

As  always  this  is  the  best  time  to  thank  our  volunteers  and  businesses  for 
donating  their  time  and  money  for  everything  from  chaperoning  dances  to 
donating  for  the  fireworks  at  Hay  Day.  There  are  many  things  that  we  would  not 
be  able  to  do  without  you.  There  are  never  enough  hands  when  we  sponsor  a  big 
event  like  Hay  Day  or  the  Road  Race,  so  if  you  have  some  time,  let  us  know,  we 
appreciate  any  help  you  can  give.

1991  GOODWIN  LIBRARY  REPORT 

STATISTICS:  1988  1989  1990  1991 

Total  Circulation  14,458 

In-house  Usage 

Interlibrary  Loan  15 

The  demand  and  desire  by  this  community  for  expanded  library  services 
presented  itself  in  dramatic  numbers  in  1 991 .  The  total  circulation  -  the  number  of 
books  and  magazines  checked  out  of  the  library  -jumped  by  30  percent.  The  in- 
terlibrary loan  service  increased  over  47  percent.  Most  of  these  requests  for  out- 
side material  are  for  student  and  adult  education,  or  information  purposes.  The 
majority  of  the  1,819  patron  cards  belong  to  Farmington  residents.  Many  of  this 
number  are  one  card  per  family.  An  in-house  usage  survey  counts  the  number  of 
materials  used  but  not  circulated  out  of  the  library.  This  year's  survey  has  shown 
a  doubling  of  usage  by  town  citizens. 

Programs  sponsored  by  or  held  at  the  library  in  1991  include: 
Weekly  preschool  story  hour. 
Art  Show  Exhibitor  Open  House.

FARMINGTON  FIRE  DEPARTMENT 
ANNUAL  REPORT  FOR  1991 

The  Farmington  Fire  Department  answered  168  alarms  during  1990.  The 
average  response  time  was  6  minutes. 

Our  new  fire  truck  (Engine  1)  was  delivered  in  December  1991.  This  new  fire 
apparatus  will  greatly  increase  our  ability  to  protect  property  and  people  and  also 
serve  the  town.  We  would  like  to  thank  all  the  people  of  Farmington  for  their  sup- 
port. Our  Ladder  Truck  was  tested  again  and  certified.  Engine  3  will  be  converted 
from  a  tank  truck  to  a  hose-reel  truck.  This  should  greatly  improve  our  ability  to 
supply  more  water  to  the  surrounding  areas. 

We  will  do  more  training  this  year  than  ever  before  due  to  more  rules  and 
regulations  from  both  the  State  and  from  NFPA. 

We  would  like  to  give  special  recognition  to  Capt.  Gary  Pageau  for  his  bravery. 
He  went  above  and  beyond  the  call  of  duty  as  a  firefighter.  Capt.  Pageau  rescued 
a  person  from  a  burning  structure,  thus  saving  the  person's  life. 

The  Farmington  Fire  Department  would  like  to  thank  all  of  you  for  your  support 
in  our  many  fundraisers,  making  them  very  worthwile.  Also  we  would  like  to  thank 
all  the  citizens  who  came  out  on  many  a  cold  and  late  night  to  serve  us  coffee, 
etc.  Thank  you  for  your  past  interest  in  the  department  and  hopefully  we  can  all 
work  toward  a  safer  place  to  live.

1991  REPORT 
OF  THE  CONSERVATION  COMMISSION 

The  Conservation  Comnnission  had  a  very  productive  year. 

Handbooks  were  made  available  to  the  Commissioner's  this  year  by  a  donation 
from  the  Portsmouth  Knights  of  Columbus. 

21  wood  duck  houses  were  built  and  put  up.  Materials  were  donated  by 
Cameron's  Home  and  Garden  Center  and  Palmer's  Hardware.  A  monetary  dona- 
tion from  Purity  Supreme  Supermarket  was  also  received. 

The  Conservation  Commission  applied  to  have  the  UNH  outreach  program 
help  the  Town  with  an  inventory  and  management  program  for  the  Town  Forest, 
adjacent  to  the  mill  pond  on  Old  Bay  Road,  and  was  accepted.  This  should  prove 
to  help  townspeople  take  advantage  of  our  valuable  Town  Forest  resource  that 
has  been  sitting  idle  for  several  years. 

The  Conservation  Commission  had  worked  with  the  Planning  Board  during  the 
year  compiling  proposed  wetlands  and  waterfront  ordinances.  We  are  in  hopes 
that  this  proposal  will  be  approved  by  ballot  at  the  upcoming  town  meeting.  While 
this  proposal  will  protect  our  wetlands  and  surface  water  resources,  it  is  very 
compatible  with  and  will  have  a  positive  impact  economic  development  of  the 
Town. 

Plans  for  1 992  include  continuing  with  our  Town  Forest  project,  wood  duck  pro- 
ject, and  to  start  indexing  our  natural  resources. 

We  invite  anyone  interested  to  participate  in  the  Conservation  Comission  ac- 
tivities.

Randy  R.  Orvis

REPORT  OF  THE  HEALTH  OFFICER/ANIMAL  CONTROL  OFFICER 

This  year  has  been  a  productive  one  for  the  Health/Animal  Control  Department. 
Three  Hundred  Thirty-Eight  complaints  have  been  responded  to.  The  complaints 
vary  from  barking  dogs  to  loose  cows  to  requests  for  health  inspections. 

The  door-to-door  campaign  to  license  all  dogs  is  working  very  well.  In  1 990,  the 
need  to  remind  residents  to  license  their  dogs  was  a  necessity.  By  doing  so,  it  has 
made  owners  more  aware  of  their  responsibility  to  license  their  dogs.  Making  the 
need  to  go  door-to-door  a  lesser  one  in  1991. 

A  total  of  $3,876.50  was  generated  from  dog  licenses  and  various  fines.  Fifty- 
one  canines  have  been  transported  to  the  Cocheco  Valley  Humane  Society. 

Due  to  the  rabies  virus  coming  into  this  area,  I  want  to  make  everyone  aware  of 
the  great  urgency  to  have  all  pets  inoculated. 

Due  to  the  increased  number  of  calls  received  at  my  home,  I  would  appreciate 
all  calls  being  directed  to  the  police  department.  Your  cooperation  would  be 
gratefully  appreciated.

John  C.  Fitch

RURAL  DISTRICT  HEALTH  COUNCIL,  INC. 
ANNUAL  REPORT 

Rural  District  Health  Council,  Inc.  continues  to  serve  as  Farmington's  home 
health  agency  offering  skilled  nursing,  rehabilitative  services,  home  health  aides, 
homemakers  and  hospice  care  on  an  intermittent  basis.  A  nurse  is  available  to 
our  clients  24  hours  a  day,  seven  days  a  week  with  visits  made  as  needed.  Home 
health  services  help  to  limit  the  length  of  hospitalizations  and  enable  people  to  re- 
main in  their  homes  as  opposed  to  nursing  home  placement. 

Rural  District  Health  Council,  Inc.  provides  Well  Child  Clinics  for  residents  of 
our  nine  communities  with  children  from  birth  through  six  years  receiving 
physicals,  immunizations,  growth  and  development  counselling,  nutritional 
counselling,  and  lead,  anemia  and  urine  testing.  Home  visits  are  provided  for 
newborns  and  sick  children  of  all  ages.  Sids  counselling  is  offered  to  all  families 
that  are  dealing  with  Sudden  Infant  Death.  As  of  December  31st,  1991  three- 
hundred  and  seventeen  children  are  enrolled  in  our  Well  Child  Clinics. 

Health  Screenings  are  offered  in  five  locations  for  resident  of  all  nine  com- 
munities to  educate  the  public  with  regard  to  health  maintenance  through  B/P 
monitoring,  diet  counselling,  and  assessment  of  blood  hemoglobin  and  glucose. 
Over  two-hundred  and  sixty-five  flu  shots  were  given  this  fall. 

There  have  been  many  changes  within  the  Agency  this  year.  The  growth  has 
been  astounding,  we  have  completed  over  15,450  visits  in  1991,  up  from  10,080 
in  1 990.  The  staff  has  adjusted  well  to  the  growth  and  the  change  that  comes  with 
a  change  in  administration.  We  have  taken  the  plunge  into  the  world  of  com- 
puterization. Rural  District  is  working  with  two  other  area  VNAs  and  Strafford 
Hospice  to  provide  our  communities  with  a  certified  Medicare  Hospice  program. 

Rural  District  is  especially  pleased  to  have  been  able  to  reduce  our  per  capital 
request  to  each  of  our  supporting  towns.  We  have  accomplished  this  without  any 
infringement  on  available  services.  We  recognize  that  each  of  our  communities 
are  having  to  tighten-up  their  budgets  and  we  are  doing  our  best  to  help  in  those 
efforts.  During  this  economic  climate  when  more  and  more  people  cannot  afford 
health  care,  are  avoiding  hospitalization  and  have  no  insurance  Home  Health 
Care  is  increasingly  important. 

We  appreciate  and  need  your  ongoing  support.  We  thank  your  Board 
Representatives  for  their  time  and  efforts  on  behalf  of  Rural  District  Health  Coun- 
cil, Inc.

son Rubber  Company  has  paid  the  Town  $525,000  for  the  cost  of 
a  new  drinking  water  supply  well  and  in  repayment  of  legal  and 
consulting  costs,  in  partial  settlement  of  the  Town's  claims.  The 
$525,000  is  now  held  in  an  escrow  account  pending  Town 
ratification  of  the  agreement.  To  facilitate  remediation,  the 
selectmen  have  negotiated  a  limited  restrictive  covenant  with 
Davidson  Rubber  Company  to  limit  the  use  by  the  Town  of  cer- 
tain portions  of  the  Sarah  Greenfield  property  for  a  time  period 
not  to  exceed  thirty  years,  and  to  refrain  from  using  the  aquifer 
beneath  the  Sarah  Greenfield  property  for  drinking  water  pur- 
poses until  the  aquifer  meets  all  applicable  legal  standards 
governing  public  drinking  water  supplies.  A  copy  of  the  Agree- 
ment is  posted  for  inspection  at  the  Selectmen's  offices.  Town
