We regret this cutback, but Proposition 21 12 left no choice. Economies were effected by the smaller print run and tighter editing. The intent of town -wide distribution, and of the department /committee narrations in Part I, was to improve communication between town officials and citizens and to generate greater citizen participation in town government. Copies of this limited edition may be obtained at Town Meeting and the Town Manager's office, and may be read or borrowed at Cary Library and the Council on Aging. Please take good care of this book and share it with others who are interested in Lexington and how it is run. Town Report Committee as �W a o Lexington 1980, In Brief Not all news revolved around problems generated by Proposition 2 -1/2. There were notable "firsts:" the first lady firefighter; the High School Football team's first Middlesex League crown. Other winners in- cluded the Girls' Swim Team and the Debating Team. And Senior Gene Mewborn, wooed by colleges for his football and basketball prowess, chose UCLA and football. Notable anniversaries were recorded by the Masterworks Chorale, its 40th; Mary Perry, pediatrician in practice here for 35 years; Msgr. George W. Casey, 60 years a priest; and the Museum of Our National Heritage, its fifth. Adams joined the ranks of closed schools; the High School graduating class shrunk to 630 and the school's curriculum underwent a major restructuring. A gypsy moth infestation took its toll of local greenery and the town countered with non - polluting Dipel spray. Mosquitos won a reprieve and were not sprayed. Embarrassments included vandalism around High School graduation time, with trees, shrubs and science solar project panels uprooted, and the case of the disappearing siding that slipped off a Cary Library wall. Curbside pickup of trash was inaugurated, picking up where the old dump left off, closed by state order because the landfill could no longer meet Federal requirements. Subsidized housing moved forward with the completion of the first scattered site housing project; a new town swimming pool complex was opened; also, the first link in a planned bikeway. Draft registration of young men commenced and draft registration opponents reacted with peaceful protests. An operator was chosen to install and operate a townwide cable TV system. Olympic skater Sheryl Franks was invited to lunch at the White House and tennis buff Dick Wertheim invited to referee at Wimbleton. Voters favored the conservative Ronald Reagan and Proposition 2 -1/2, but unseated veteran conservative Lincoln Cole as state representative and replaced him with Steve Doran. In the Chamber of Commerce's new efforts to spur downtown business, part of Massachusetts Avenue was closed to traffic Memorial Day week -end and opened to sidewalk sales and entertainment, including Friday night Depot Square concerts, which have become a custom. Among unfinished projects: a permanent home for a Senior Center; suit- able uses for closed schools and the old Red Cross (Garrity) house; traffic solutions for roads and airways in the Bedford-Hartwell- Hanscom area.

Board of Selectmen: Goals Guide Long -Range Planning The goals established by the Board of Select- men in 1979 have been transmitted to all major committees for review, comment and additions. Implementation is now proceeding in the four major target areas. 1) Center revitalization 2) Alternative sources of revenue for local government 3) Financial management 4) Emplovee career development with the assistance of many of our advisory commit- tees, the Town Manager and Town employees. Board of Selectmen. L/R Seated : Robert Kent;' Alfred Busa; Mary Miley, Chairman; Beatrice Casey, Executive Clerk; Margery Battin; and James Crain. Standing: Norman Cohen, Town Counsel and Robert Hutchinson, Town Manager. 4 Board of Selectmen Center Revitalization. Consistent with the Select- men's goals a Center Revitalization Committee has been appointed to draft a plan for revitalizing Lexington's center including methods of achieving commercial diversity, increasing social and cultur- al activity, improving traffic flow and expanding parking. The committee is composed of a member of the Board of Selectmen, members of the Planning Board and representatives of the Chamber of Commerce's retail, banking and industrial divisions. The committee has defined problems, analyzed all previous center studies, obtained technical assis- tance from the MAPC for a center economic analysis and prepared short term proposals to remedy current parking problems. The Selectmen are re- viewing these recommendations and hope to proceed with implementation in 1951. Pictured on this page are two aspects of center revitalization which grew in 1980. Above: LEX- PRESS, with routes beginning and terminating in the Center, brings more people. Below: Festivi- ties of Memorial Day weekend, when Massachusetts Avenue was closed to traffic. Financial Management. A major thrust this year has been in the area of financial management. The Board has long been concerned about the need for tax reform which would tap revenue resources other than the property tax. With the passage of Propo- sition 2 -1/2 the need for such changes is even more imperative if quality of life is to be maintained. This past summer the Town Manager submitted a 5 -year budgetary and tax rate forecast which in- cludes fiscal analysis by department. This will 5 m m A a 0 0 0. m m G C O G O O C Board of Selectmen assist us in reviewing the budget and making re- commendations to the 1981 Town Meeting. We have also been exploring alternative revenue sources, with fees a major area. A comprehensive revised fee program is now under consideration. The revaluation of all taxable property within the Town has proceeded throughout the year with comple- tion scheduled for May 1, 1981. Originally under- taken because of the legal requirement of assess- ment of property at 100 percent of market value and the need to eliminate existing inequities, this pro- ject has also assumed heightened significance with the enactment by referendum of legislation limiting taxation to 2 -1/2 percent of value. As we seek alternative sources of revenue, review of current services is continually underway to find less expensive and more efficient ways to provide town services. This year a report evaluating the impact of centralized motor vehicle maintenance was filed with the Board. The report is currently being reviewed by the Board. While we can make changes at the local level, the long range solution must be in comprehensive tax reform. The Selectmen supported this year the comprehensive tax reform legislation proposed by the Massachusetts Municipal Association which pro- vides for controlled spending at all levels of government and alternative revenue sources identi- fied and dedicated to local aid. Employee Career Development. The Personnel Advi- sory Board working with the Town Manager's office, has proposed a program which is designed to identi- fy future personnel skill needs and help employees develop these skills. This will provide employees with professional growth within the Town govern- ment structure, as well as insure that the Town has a pool of fully qualified applicants as posi- tions become available. Implementation of this program is scheduled for 1981. In addition to the specific goals, the Selectmen have completed a number of other projects. Public Works. At this year's Town Meeting a num- ber of major public projects were funded. However, since the passage of Proposition 2 -1/2 not only reduces revenues in future years, but also in the current year, many of these projects are now pend- ing until the Selectmen can fully evaluate the impact of 2 -1/2. While the timetable for implementation is uncertain, the Selectmen are reviewing Master Plans for capi- tal projects in road construction, sidewalks and drainage so that priorities can be established in each of these areas. The insect suppression program,was reviewed with the assistance of the Pest Control Advisory com- mittee. After considerable review the Selectmen voted to rejoin with East Middlesex Mosquito Con- q? trol Project but under a limited program which ex- cludes adulticiding. In addition, the Selectmen approved a more comprehensive program for gypsy moth control using Dipel. Phase III of the Drainage Study was started in- cluding the North Lexington Brook and Tophet Swamp areas. The Sewer System Evaluation Survey moved ahead this year with the filing of an application for federal and state funding to continue the next phase. Grant award is expected in early 1981. School Conversions. With three schools now closed and under the Selectmen's jurisdiction and Muzzey scheduled to close in June, these buildings have required considerable planning and action. Town Meeting approved the proposal submitted for Parker School which provides for construction of 28 condo- minium units, 25 percent of which will be returned to the Town for low and moderate income housing. A special permit was granted in August, with con - truction to begin in early 1981. 6 Possible uses for Munroe School are still being re- viewed, including its use as a Senior Center. Con- sistent with the Town Meeting vote, the Selectmen have conducted an Elderly Needs Assessment to determine if elderly needs could best be met in a Senior Center and if so, what form would be most appropriate. The study, completed in December, is now under review. Proposals for Adams School were requested in No- vember. Eleven proposals ranging from congregate housing to office use were received. These are being reviewed by the School Sites Conversion Com- mittee for recommendation to the Selectmen. The Selectmen plan to recommend a proposal to the 1981 Town Meeting. Dog Hearings. Throughout 1980, problems created by dogs continued to be addressed by the Board of Selectmen through the dog hearing process. Dog hearings are held at the request of residents aggrieved by vicious, barking or free ranging un- restrained dogs. Dog owners who ignore their responsibility to neighbors and pets continue to be the prime motivation for dog hearing requests. This year the Board of Selectmen changed their regulations: all dogs, leashed or otherwise, are now forbidden from school yards and playgrounds. Legislative Liaison. The Board of Selectmen has received strong continuing cooperation from Senator Samuel Rotondi and Representative Lincoln P. Cole, Jr. on legislative matters of significance to the Town. This year as we seek tax reform and fiscal control of the County and MBTA budgets, these liaisons will be even more critical. Liaison with other Communities. The Selectmen con- tinue to recognize both the need and responsibility i W 4 a 0 a Board of Selectmen to serve in regional and statewide Boards. It is through these efforts that we can influence the State and seek reforms critical to the future of municipal government. During this past year, one member was elected chairman of the Middlesex County Advisory Board. Another member completed her term as President of the Massachusetts Selectmen's Association. We continue to participate actively in the metropoli- tan Area Planning Agency and the Hanscom Field Advisory Commission. The Board knows that the successful operation of the Town is largely attributable to the expertise given generously by citizen boards and committees coupled with the efficiency of the Town Manager and his staff, and the dedication of our staff. (Both of them have stepped up into new positions: Executive Clerk Bea Casey replaced Eleanor McCurdy, who resigned in June, and Marion Snow became Administrative Clerk, replacing Ms. Casey). The year ahead will be difficult but with cooper- ative hard work we will see it through. Mary W. Miley, Chairman Margery M. Battin James F. Crain Alfred S. Busa Robert B. Kent Lexington's State Representative Stephen W. Doran and State Senator Samuel Rotondi. Selectmen's Advisory Committees Burglar Alarm Committee. The work of the Burglar Alarm Committee which was completed in September, 1979, bore fruit at the 1980 Annual Town Meeting, when a By -Law was adopted in essentially the form recommended by the Committee. Henceforth all burglar and fire alarms which in any way directly address the Town's emergency departments are sub- ject to regulations and inspection. The Committee also assisted the Selectmen in drafting regulations which were adopted in September. Cable Television Committee. The Cable Television Committee spent much of this year evaluating pro- posals submitted for the Lexington franchise to install and operate a cable television system. In April, 1980, seven companies applied for the Lexington franchise. In June, the Cable Advisory Committee submitted its report to the Board of Selectmen, and the Board in turn issued the report, providing specifications for the kind of system Which will fulfill Lexington's re- quirements based on the town -wide questionnaire. Six of the seven i companies then submitted amend- ments to their original applica- tions to match these requirements. The Board has held three public hearings during the year to get citizen feedback about its Cable TV Report, the company proposals and ideas for local uses of the cable system.

The Committee passed along its recommendations to the Board which voted in December the award of a provisional license to the Adams- Russell Company. It is anticipated that a final license will be negotiated in the Spring of 1981, and that the system will be installed and operating within a year of the granting of this final license. A television studio for local pro- gramming and public access will be provided in or very close to Lexington Center. The cable company has agreed to provide the staff for this studio and to help local residents make use of the several local channels. The committee wishes to acknowledge the work of several Lexington people who served on task forces to help define Lexington's requirements: Hannah Mollo- Christensen,David Kuhn, Homer Dietmeier, Nick Page, Kenneth Skinner, Charles Grossimon, Jacob Gardner, Louis Conrad, William Sen, Patricia Ewing, Nancy Banks and Michael Rosenberg. Community Health Committee. The Community Health Committee, under its charge from the Board of Selectmen, has drawn up a draft of a charter for a Permanent Health Committee, structured appropriate- ly under the Human Services Council umbrella. The Committee is cooperating with the Human Services Committee to plan educational workshops on good health and timely illness prevention measures. i The Board of Selectmen has recently expanded its charge to the Committee to include the publicizing of information on medical and other health services available to citizens of Lexington. Local program- ming of cable television is being examined as one way of carrying out this charge. Fair Housing Committee. The Fair Housing Committee was established in September, 1979, to draft a Fair Housing Plan. The Committee explored the Town's local housing market, the housing occupancy pat- terns, the Zoning By -Laws and availability of sub- sidized housing. The Committee also met with local planners, developers and real estate agents and con- ducted a survey of Lexington's minority residents. As reported in the Fair Housing plan, the Committee found that the greatest barrier preventing addition- al minority residents in the community is lack of available low and moderate priced housing and inadequately articulated affir.ative goals. Eigh- teen action plans were recommended to meet the Fair Housing goals. The Selectmen are committed to 25 units of low- moderate income housing units per year. Human Services Committee. In its first full year of operation, the Human Services Committee has created a framework of review criteria for ana- lyzing budget requests; made recommendation on funding to the Board of Selectmen; and is exploring the system of human services within Lexington, with an emphasis on preventive services. Lexington Council for the Arts. The Lexington Council for the Arts was appointed in May 1980 in response to legislation concerning a new state Arts Lottery. The 10- member Selectmen's advisory com- mittee reflects a variety of arts interests - visual, performing and graphic arts. Funds realized from the sale of Arts Lottery tickets will be distributed to communities on a per capita basis and must be used specifically for cultural purposes. The Lexington Arts Council will receive and review proposals for local projects and activi- ties and make recommendations for funding to the Selectmen. In addition, the council hopes to act as a coordinating body for artists and arts groups in Town. To this end, the council plans to prepare a directory of all artists, individuals, and groups, who live and /or work in Lexington. The council is also considering the production of a Lexington arts calendar, listing events of interest to citizens and visitors to our town. 8 Personnel Advisory Board. The Personnel Advisory Board is a resource of professional persons serving in an advisory capacity to the Board of Selectmen and the Town Manager. During the past year, the Personnel Advisory Board has developed a plan for an Employee Development Program and has participated in a review of all Personnel Policies and Procedures. Areas of continuing special interest are salary administration, training and management development and affirmative action. Police Manual Committee. The Police Manual Commit- tee has continued to review the policies and proce- dures governing the operation of the Police Depart- ment. Minor changes have been adopted in policy statements on high speed chases and the checking of automobile licenses and registrations. The Commit- tee has undertaken development of a statement of procedures for dealing with family disputes. Sewer Advisory Committee. The Sewer Advisory Committee has reviewed the last group of sewers proposed in the Sewer Master Plan under the $2.5 million sewer program authorized by Town Meeting in 1978. The recommendations of the com- mittee were submitted to the Selectmen as a part of the Selectmen's review and hearing procedure prior to committing funds to sewer projects. CHARLES J.

Selectmen's Advisory Committees At the 1980 Lexington Town Meeting, this advisory committee helped the Selectmen present two articles. One was an update report on the long -term solution recommended by the Committee, and sought a vote of confidence from the Town, in its continued activity with the Northeast Solid Waste Committee Project. The second Article was to initiate Town -Wide curb -side collection of all solid waste. Both articles passed with substantial majorities. SWAC will continue its function with both the WESWC and 128 West Resource Recovery Committee in the coming year. Town Report Committee. The Town Report Committee seeks to provide comprehensive communication be- tween all sectors of Town Government and Lexington citizens. This became an even more difficult challenge after the axe of Proposition 2 -1/2 chopped off 50 percent of the Town Report Fiscal 1981 budget. The 1980 Annual Report reflects the new style, decreased press run and reduced number of pages. The Town Report budget, regardless of its size, has never reflected contributions of staff time from each town office, nor could it ever be but a noon- day shadow of towering volunteer effort. Each committee member has devoted an enormous amount of time to Town Report. In addition, Judy Uhrig up- dated the back cover and Fred Frick edited Town Meeting minutes and election results. Traffic Safety Committee. During 1980, the Com- mittee studied a number of traffic problems. Among the areas studied were traffic light requests, walking routes for children to the Harrington and Bowman Schools, police posts and pedestrian crosswalks. The Selectmen also revised the charge to the Traffic Safety Committee. Under the revised charge the Committee will study problems relative to traffic and report recommendations to the Board and Town Manager. The Selectmen also expanded the membership to include the Police Chief, Director of Public Works, Planning Director and four citizens. Transportation Advisory Committee. During 1980, the Transportation Advisory Committee devoted the major portion of its efforts to overseeing the operation of LEXPRESS, Lexington's intra -town mini bus system. In its first full year of opera- tion, which ended September 13, 1980, LEXPRESS met and surpassed the goals set for it. During that year the mini buses carried 286,543 riders, with a monthly high of 28,495 in March. Among significant LEXPRESS achievements: 10 0 °\ Webelos Sam Jordan and Mike Curtin prepare to deliv- er 1979 Town Reports before March 1980 Town Meeting. This scene will not be repeated in 1981. - The system achieved an overall ridership of 21.3 per vehicle /hour, which makes it the most success- ful fixed route, pulsed mini -bus system in Massa- chusetts (and, so far as we are aware, in the nation). - The system closed the year with a $2,000 budge- tary surplus, having underspent its appropriated budget by that amount. - While costs were about 25 percent more than anticipated due to higher fuel prices, the system's high ridership produced fare box and pass revenue almost 75 percent greater than planned. This more than covered the increased costs and led to the budgetary surplus. In its new year, LEXPRESS is already off to a promising start. Pass sales in the first six weeks of the year are 16 percent greater than the total pass sales in all of the previous year and ridership continues to be high. G m 0 c 0 .°c a TMMA: A Source of Information for Citizens The Town Meeting Members Association has been con- cerned for many years with providing information to Town Meeting Members and citizens and with assuring that the operation of the Town Meeting is efficient and effective. The TMMA is not an official town body. It is composed of all interested Town Meeting Members, both elected and at large. The organization's executive committee, composed of the chairman, clerk, and associate from each precinct, meets monthly to set directions for the association and to discuss topics that affect the Town. All meetings are open to anyone interested. The TMMA also works through a committee system intended to provide unbiased observation of town government activities. Standing committees in- clude education, land use, town government, health and public works. Each year the TMMA writes, edits and publishes a Warrant Information Report. This report includes information on all warrant articles, both pro and con, and is distributed to all Town Meeting Mem- bers. It is also available to the general public Precinct Chairman The TMMA holds a series of information meetings before Town Meeting each spring. These sessions provide an opportunity for proponents of articles to present information and to respond to questions. Questions and suggestions made at these sessions often lead to modification of some proposals. The TMMA has a number of publications which assist Town Meeting Members and citizens. These include a handbook, Town Meeting in Lexington, a set of guidelines for persons submitting citizens' arti- cles, and an orientation packet for new Town Meeting Members. The TMMA has initiated warrant articles in order to assure the flow of information and to improve the operation of the Town Meeting. 1980 -81 Executive Committee Chairman... Arthur C.

Tax stability and tax equity continue to be primary goals while maintaining a high level of service. The high caliber work force of the Town combined with tre- mendous volunteer citizen support remains the primary strength of our community. Examples of these combined efforts were witnessed in the Tax Policy Committee's report that provided a review of Proposition 2 -1/2 and its projected impact on Lexington. A brief summary of Proposi- tion 2 -1/2 and its implications is listed on the opposite page. Copies of the Tax Policy Committee's report remain available in the Town Manager's office, the Library and the Town Clerk's office. BUDGET After adopting a budget of $36,400,529 and allow- ing for revenue, exclusive of the property tax of $11,190,031, it was necessary to raise $25,210,438 on a taxable list of $274,026,500, which required a tax rate of $92.00. This was a 5.0 percent in- crease over the tax rate of FY '80 of $87.60. If State charges against the Town had not increased by almost $500,000, this tax rate would have been $2.00 less. We continue to be besieged with the funding of the political albatrosses of Middlesex County Govern- ment ($817,073) and the MBTA ($598,900). In spite of this, a surplus of $2,932,204 for 1981 was generated. This financial reserve has been prudently managed by the Selectmen and Town Meeting with the advice of the Appropriation Committee so that the Town continues to insure that we have some financial hedge for the future. We have continued to fund our unfunded pension liability ($16.9 million) which remains a financial difficulty for controlling costs for the future. We are one of a small number of communities that has decided to try to control pension costs in the future by funding this liability. $500,000 has been appropriated so far and another $200,000 is recommended for FY '82. The issue of tax stability continues to be main- tained as shown by the impact on the average home owner in Graph 1. The tax rate has increased a net of 4.1 percent in the last four years while infla- tion has risen approximately 30.6 percent. The Town and the School Committee have been reducing numbers of personnel and consolidating services which has assisted in this stabilization effort. During the same four year period, the total appro- priations for school and general government have in- creased 17.5 percent, and if you add State and County charges, total appropriations have grown 18.4 percent. Proposition 2 -1/2 mandates that additional consoli- dations and service reductions will have to take place unless tax reform combined with controlled spending is addressed by the Legislature and the Governor. We have submitted to the Board of Selectmen a projected 5 year tax rate assuming the completion of revaluation. We are reviewing our projections in light of Proposition 2 -1/2 which show the Town having a potential shortfall of almost $8,000,000 by 1986 or approximately 19 percent. PERSONNEL The Town professional staff has been greatly en- hanced during this year by the hiring of the Planning Director, Robert Bowyer, a former Town Meeting Member and former Planning Director of the City of Cambridge, as well as Walter Tonaszuck, Public Works Director, the former Public Works Director in the Town of Winchester. Their hiring was the result of an intensive advertising and MONINIMEM Tax Policy Committee. L/R seated: Christine Welch; Ron Levy, Vice Chairman; John McLaughlin, Chairman; John Pierce; Lynda Wik. Standing: Mansfield Neal, Stephen Politi, Laurence Redgate, Robert Dodd and William Streeter, staff assistant. 12 0 4 U 4 W O O i' a Town Manager screening process within the region consistent with professional personnel practices of this office and the Town. The continued process of change and constriction requires managerial capacity and greater additional managerial effort by all Town personnel. Appointments such as this greatly assist in that effort. Affirmative Action - The Town has continued its effort to affirmative action and 1980 witnessed the hiring of our first black police officer and woman firefighter, again after an extremely competitive recruiting and review process. FUTURE Goals for the future will continue to focus on: 1. A commitment to multi -year financial planning and tax stability. 2. The maintenance and development of our already existing work force. 3. Continued sustained involvement of volunteers. 4. A sustained effort dealing with our legislative leaders and the Governor's professional manage- ment at all levels of government, combined with controls on spending. 5. Reactivation of our Solid Waste Committee to present appropriate alternates to the Selectmen and Town Meeting for our long -term solid waste problem. At this time, we continue to be interested in the Northeast Solid Waste Project that calls for conversion of refuse into steam generating power with revenue to be shared by the communities assisting in the control of costs. The successful transition to a collec- tion system while closing the landfill is indicative of the success of the work of our Solid Waste Committee. 2 -1/2 SUMMARY Limits property taxes to 2 -1/2 percent of fair cash value of all real and personal property in the Town. Limits annual increase in total property tax levy to 2 -1/2 percent. Requires 15 percent annual reduction in total tax levy until 2 -1/2 percent limit is reached. Forbids future unfunded mandates from the State. Repeals fiscal autonomy for school committees. Reduces the automobile excise tax from $66 to $25 per $1,000 valuation. (Revenue loss of $1.2 million for Lexington). Does not limit State spending. Requires limit on outside agencies such as County and MBTA to no more than a 4 percent increase. Gives municipalities authority to revoke optional local mandates. 6. Continued assessment of appropriate fees for Governmental services to offset demands on the property tax. This office assists and is committed to execution of the policies of the Selectmen and Town Meeting for the benefit of our citizens. We remain avail- able for interested inquiries and comments regard- ing the administrative operation of Town Government. 13 TAX RATE STABILITY FISCAL YEAR TAX RATE ASSESSED VALUATION* ENDING 6130 PER $1000 $15,000 $20,000 $25,000 $30,000 1978 $88.40 $ 1,326 $ 1,768 $ 2,210 $ 2,652 Tax change 78 -79 +$27 +$36 +$45 +$ 54 1979 $90.20 $ 1,353 $ 1,804 $ 2,255 $ 2,706 Tax change 79 -80 -$39 -$52 -$65 -$ 78 1980 $87.60 $ 1,314 $ 1,752 $ 2,190 $ 2,628 Tax change 80 -81 +$66 +$88 +$110 +$132 1981 $92.00 $ 1,180 $ 1,840 $ 2,300 $ 2,760 NET $ CHANGE 1978 -1981 +$54 +$72 +$90 +$108 NET PERCENTAGE CHANGE 1978 -1981 +4.1% +4.10 +4.1% +4.1% *Valuation in effect 1978 -1981 (not 100% valuation) 13 School Committee Foresees 2 1/2 Hurdles Shown at an early December Selectmen's meeting on Proposition 2-iF are School Committee members Frank Michelman and Sandra Shaw, School Super- intendent John Lawson and committee members Jean Gaudet and Patricia Swanson. Otis Brown, Chairman, is out of camera range. Last November, the majority of voters from Lexing- ton and across the Commonwealth cast their ballots in favor of Proposition 2 -1 /2's limitation at 2 -1/2 per cent of local valuations. Coupled with the loss of School Committee autonomy, this event will have a profound effect on the future of public education in Lexington and across the state. While we believe the Lexington and statewide vote in support of Proposition 2 -1/2 was the obvious public reaction to high taxes and inflation, we also be- lieve the citizenry of Lexington has been, and will continue to be supportive of fiscally sound educa- tional programs for our children. It is well known that in recent years School Committee budgets, while increasing, have done so at a rate considerably less than the double digit increases in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Cost of Living Index. We realize and accept the fact that declining enrollments and school closings have been important factors in controlling spiral- ing budget increases. However, the School Committee's careful scrutiny of all school budget requests has had a significant impact as well. While fiscal restraint has been a goal of the School Committee, economies have not been imple- mented at the expense of our public educational programs. The continued outstanding academic and athletic accomplishments of our students is posi- tive testimony in support of our claim that Lexing- ton's public educational system is ranked far above most others in this state and across our nation. But what should the School Committee's future course be? Will it allow the present restraints of Proposition 2 -1/2 to decimate our educational sys- tem, or will it turn to the voters via referendum a a m v ti C O F k O .7 O O a for approval of budgets which may exceed the cap mandated by law? Obviously, we must now look at all budget requests even more closely than ever before. The continued decline in enrollments in conjunction with the scheduled closing of Muzzey Junior High next June will provide considerable savings. In addition, it will be imperative that we reexamine individual budget line items such as transportation, sabbati- cals, field trips, maintenance and repairs of school buildings and equipment, and other areas not directly related to the certified teaching staff. 14 However, should savings in the above areas fall short of the requirements imposed by Proposition 2 -1/2, then and only then, would the School Committee consider possible cutbacks in teaching staff, curriculum or increases in class size. These are the areas in which the School Committee will be most reluctant to make sacrifices. Budget requests may ultimately have to be presented to the public at large at Town Meeting or by referendum. In the final analysis, will the constraints imposed by Proposition 2 -1/2 destroy the quality of our educational system for generations to come? We think not. For just as we are dedicated to quality and excellence in public education, we believe a financially responsible budget necessary to achieve these educational goals, will generate unanimous support from our taxpaying citizens. So while the road ahead may not be without some "bumps" we are confident that the combined effort of the School Committee, administrative staff, teachers and c-Lcizens will guarantee the continua- tion of our excellent educational system in the years to come. School Superintendent Reports Planning and Progress This is my fifth annual report to citizens as Superintendent of Schools. I would like to note some of the fine student and faculty accomplish- ments of this past year. - National Merit Scholarship Program. 17 Lexing- ton High Seniors were named semi- finalists in the 1981 National Merit Scholarship competition pro- gram.

As of October 1, 1980, the student population in grades K -12 was 6,093 or 410 less than 1979 -80. Indications are that the trend will continue. Basic Skills Tests were administered to students in grades 2, 4, 6 and 8. Areas measured were reading, language, mathematics and reference skills.

Instructional Grouping Recommendation B was unani- mously adopted by the School Committee in April upon my recommendation. A summary of the recom- mendation follows: For the school year 1980 -81 and thereafter, the following policies will apply to classes in Grade 7 1. For instruction in mathematics and foreign language, year -long classes will be formed as follows: 16 Recommendation B of the Phasing Study is consistent with the literature on early adolescence because it will not lock grade seven students into ability levels, but instead will recognize the wide varia- tion in developmental characteristics of students in grade seven. Recommendation B will, however, provide our junior high school faculties and admini- strators opportunities to organize classes in soci- al studies, English and science so that every sev- enth grade student will have an equal opportunity to develop his /her intellectual capacities. School Superintendent A New Guidance Program model, approved by the School Committee with the general support of students, citizens, staff and administration was implemented in September. The special features of the plan include: - Continuance of the highly supported current goals and objectives of the guidance program. - Establishment of a new program of counselor - planned and implemented mandatory student experiences. These experiences were designed to improve student decision - making in social, educational and career spheres. Students will learn more about them- selves and their environment and learn more skills in goal setting and problem solving. All students are scheduled to receive these services. These planned and sequenced activities will focus on the following: - Sophomore orientation and adjustment. - Social and emotional development. - Educational and career - planning and choice - making Staff will be trained to implement the new program, beginning this spring and continuing this summer and beyond. - Counselor /Student contact will be maximized a. Planned programs and checkpoint meetings b. Student assignment to same counselor for all three high school years. C. Counselor continuing to have responsibil- ity for counseling assigned students in personal, social, educational and career areas. - Counselors will receive assignments for the de- velopment and provision of programs covering specific topic areas (e.g., Drug and Alcohol Abuse or Family Relations and Structure). He /she will be expected to study the topic, become our "resident expert" in the topic, and coordinate the implementations of that program. This assignment will take advantage of the special strengths of each counselor and provide resource specialization to supplement the general counsel- ing provided by every counselor. - The establishment of a "registrar's office" to improve the processing of student records and post -high school applications. This will also reduce duplication, increase uniformity, and pro- vide better monitoring and control on these procedures. - A revision in course - change procedure designed to reduce unneeded time of counselors and most indi- viduals involved in this process. 17 - Use of school and community resources to service the program (including students, parents, resi- dents, members of business and industry and faculty). - Careful supervision and evaluation of guidance staff. High School Minimum Course Requirements have been adopted this year by the School Committee and will go into effect with next year's sophomore class (Class of 1983). The administration of the High School feels that this minimum course distribution proposal will help shape a curriculum for the 1980's out of the present free - elective system. In its proposal, the Administrative Team asked which subjects /clusters are so important that their study ought to touch the lives and minds of all students. The minimum course distribution proposal is flexi- ble enough so that it does not adversely affect those students who would normally make wise and well - balanced course selections. The proposal will provide direction to those students who may be tempted (under the present system) to choose the path of least resistance and to those students who tend to over - specialize in one area to the virtual exclusion of other important areas of the curriculum. Other curriculum changes designed to improve in- structional services are: a. A greater variety of interdepartmental course offerings. b. Courses related to practical and humanistic living. C. Concentration on the development of basic skills. d. Development of out -of- school academic and work experiences, e.g., internships and work - study. While the intent of these distribution require- ments is to define clearly the educational ex- perience at Lexington High School, the exposure outlined here is not intended to ignore other ex- periences which students may have. Credit may be granted at the discretion of the High School ad- ministration for any extended experience gained either in addition to or temporarily in place of the LHS program. Opportunities such as ROP (Region- al Occupational Program), the EDCO program, METRO PATHWAYS or similar unique educational experiences might qualify for such credit, with the advance approval of the Principal. Adams Closing was voted unanimously by the School Committee, to be effective at the end of the 1979 -80 school year. The vote also included the following: m a� 5 a m c k a 0 0 a School Superintendent - needed building maintenance projects ($9,281; + 14-1) - recommendations by the NEASC related to the High School library and science wing ($138,000) - recommendations from Citizens' Energy Committee ($331,760 less $112,278 from the original budget request which resulted in an increase of $219,482) - increases in costs for text, teaching materials and other instructional related items ($24,486; + 6.2 %) �i Initial budget requests from the staff totaled $17,825,999 (8.0% increase). I reviewed all re- quests and, in conjunction with central office 1. that all students who attended fifth grade administrators, principals and department heads, at Bowman and Adams Schools be permitted to reduced the budget to $17,387,845 (5.4% increase). attend sixth grade at Bowman School during The reductions came chiefly as a result of: 1980 -81 on parent request. - declining enrollments ( -359 students) 2. that transportation to Bowman School be pro- - maintaining current staffing ratios (- $624,671) vided for these Bowman students who were resulting in staff reductions of 39 positions eligible for such transportation under the (30.8, professional; 8.2 classified) Transportation Policy. - closing the Adams elementary school (- $210,651) 3. that in all other respects students be assigned to Bowman and Harrington Schools for 1980 -81 as recommended in the Report of the Committee to Study the Reassignment of Pupils, subject as usual to any transfers which may be allowed pursuant to the Transfer Policy. The closing of Adams School brings to a total of four elementary schools closed in the past four years. All staff from these schools were placed in positions made available due to retirements, leaves, etc. 1980 -81 Budget. Managing schools in a period of declining enrollments and escalating costs requires approaches different from those used in periods of growth and prosperity, although the goal of educating each student to his /her capacity was un- changed in 1980. The Lexington Public Schools have established a management system which incorporates information from needs assessments, evaluations and established priorities into deci- sions made by teachers, principals, coordinators and system -wide administrators regarding the allo- cation of resources. Without this current emphasis upon planning, the percent of increase requested in the 1980 -81 budget would have been much larger. among significant influencing factors in budgetary planning for 1980 -81 were the following: - wage settlements for employees (salary improvement $675,579, increments $243,553) - negotiated early retirement incentive plan ($47,500) - severance pay commitments ($55,200) - major increases in the cost of fuel ($186,366; + 76.3 %) - mandated Chapter 766 state programs including special transportation ($130,338; + 7.5 %) It is worth noting that if the recommendations from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges ( NEASC) and the Citizens' Energy Committee were not included in this budget, the overall per cent of change for this fiscal year would have been a +3.18%. Despite fiscal restraints, several challenging and innovative goals for the 1980 -81 fiscal year were set. Instructional Programs: To implement as approved by the School Committee Part B Policy on In- structional Grouping in grade 7; to plan eighth and ninth grade revisions compatible with pro- grams developed for grade 7; as approved by the School Committee to implement basic skills improvement program (minimal competency testing program). is Pupils at Bowman School celebrate the completion of their book Wonderful Words, a collection of short stories and poems. m m C 0 k 0 a o° U R G 0 0 4 School Superintendent Instructional Support: To analyze the processes by which principals and staff establish and evaluate expectations set for student academic and school behavior; to establish a base of information to be used in the making of decisions on program needs, priorities and directions. (Each program manager is responsible for the preparation of a written report which included: 1) definition of program, 2) assessment of degree of implementation, 3) levels of success). Energy Conservation this past year remained a priority in the school system. Virtually all schools reduced fuel consumption over last year. Though a small percentage of reduction was due to a milder winter, other factors such as more effi- cient heating equipment, cooler classrooms, in- stallation of vestibules and insulation and re- placement of incandescent with fluorescent light- ing resulted in additional conservation of energy. In closing, I want to express appreciation to the members of the School Committee, to my colleagues in administration, to the principals and faculties in each of the schools and everyone else affiliated with the Lexington School System for their efforts in making our curriculum and programs of superior quality. The Town should be proud of the quality of its public school system and the accomplishments of its students, faculty and administration. I hope that our superior schools will be able to maintain their present quality in the face of the forthcoming tax restrictions mandated by passage of Proposition 2 -1/2. Hooray' First place in the Middlesex League. Enrollment Hits New High At Minuteman Tech Expansion of the Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical School District to include Bolton, Lancaster and Needham took effect July 1, 1980. Minuteman Tech senior Jeannine Haywood of Lexington, who is majoring in printing, won second place in a photography contest sponsored by VocEd magazine, journal of the American Vocational Association. 19 Partly as a result of this expansion, the school's enrollment is at an all -time high of 1213 day students. After -hours building use for adult and community education programs is also at an all - time high, with an average of 2600 people per week coming to the school for late afternoon and evening classes. In June, Minuteman Tech graduated its third senior class. Forty -nine percent of the graduates went to work in the trade for which they had been trained or in a related trade. (Prior to graduation, co -op jobs were held by 38% of the seniors). Twenty -six percent continued their education at two or four year colleges or technical schools and 5% went into service. The remaining 20% took jobs out of their trade area or were uncertain of their plans. During 1980, the school was chosen as the site for the new Massachusetts Vocational Curriculum Re- source Center. Financed and supported by a grant from the state's Division of Occupational Education, the center is actively making up -to- date curriculum resources available to teachers in a m a 0 c k a 0 r 0. Minuteman Tech vocational and comprehensive high schools through- out the state. A new vocational program in painting and decora- ting and an Air Force Junior ROTC program were added to the curriculum in 1980. Last fall, the ROTC unit was activated by the Air Force with a cadet corps of 159 students. They will be eligi- ble for full college scholarship aid to any accredited college with an ROTC program and also be eligible for appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy. Among students who received recognition for out- standing achievements, senior Frank Filz of Lexington received a letter of commendation for outstanding performance on the 1979 PSAT, and senior Jeannine Haywood of Lexington won second place in a national photography contest. Last year the school became the first in New England to join Project Concern Regarding the Environment and Technology in Our Nation/Neighbor- hood. A $2,500 grant will finance teacher train- ing and curriculum materials designed to encourage students to become actively concerned about energy, land use, urban management and pollution. Minuteman's efforts to provide equal educational opportunities for all students received state and national recognition. Under a grant from the State, staff members prepared a manual, "Tech- niques for Eliminating Sex Discrimination from Vocational Education -- an Instructor's Guide for Culinary Arts ". The manual is the first ever prepared on this subject and is being distributed nationally through vocational curriculum centers. The Massachusetts Women's Vocational Education Coalition visited the school to monitor compliance with sex equity provisions of state and federal laws. The report on this visit commended Minuteman for having "leadership fully committed to equity for all students, and for its strategies for pro- moting sex equity." One of these strategies, funded by a grant from the State, established a Regional Resource Center which provides films and other media on sex equity on a free loan basis to schools and groups in the district. Energy conservation continued to be a prime con- cern. A separate water heater for the swimming pool and kitchen is being installed. Evening and weekend use of the building is being severely curtailed December through February, to conserve fuel. The school's Energy Committee was instru- mental in up a regional advisory committee with representatives from the district's towns. 20 r� x 0 0 0 .c 0. The responsibilities of the Department of Public Works are divided into three administrative areas, as shown below, in order to provide services vital to the town, often in close cooperation with other town departments. DIRECTOR, Walter Tonaszuck OPERATIONS ADMINISTRATION /FACILITIES ENGINEERING Warren A. Empey, Manager Emanuele Coscia, Jr. Manager Michael J. Hanlon, Town Engineer Highway Maintenance Park Division Design of sewers, drains, roads Drainage Maintenance Shade Tree Division Inflow /Infiltration Study Sewer and Water Division Cemetery Division Comprehensive Drainage Study Equipment Division Building Maintenance Division Traffic Studies, etc. TOTAL PERSONAL SERVICE $1,597,425.00 TOTAL EXPENSES $1,410,951.00 TOTAL PERSONNEL - FULL TIME 105 PART TIME 15 Major Changes of 1980: On July 1 the Hartwell Ave. Sanitary Landfill closed and curbside collection of trash for transportation to an out -of -town disposal site began. In October a new Director of Public Works was hired. Ongoing Concerns: The seasonal surcharging and overflowing of our sewer system will be addressed by the proposed Millbrook Valley interceptor sewer now being planned by the Metropolitan District Commission. This new sewer line, which will carry Bedford and Hanscom sewerage through town without entering the Lexington system, is now mapped along- side the Boston and Maine Railroad tracks. In addition, we continue to pursue the development of • long -range solution for disposal of solid waste, • need we cannot avoid. 21 OPERATIONS The Highway Division carried out diversified work on drains, berms, street cleaning and patching and sidewalk and guard rail repairs. In 1980 town forces resurfaced about 2.2 miles of streets and replaced many missing or destroyed street signs. All accepted streets were swept and over 4,000 catch basins were cleaned. Various brooks were cleaned by hand and a retention pond was con- structed on conservation land off Revere Street. The Sewer and Water Division initiated a new meter reading program that saw nine members reading a section at a time enabling us to complete readings for each billing period in three weeks. Defective meters were identified and funding for replacement was appropriated. Bids were taken and this program is underway. In order to spend more time on the maintenance of the Town's water and sewer systems, Town forces ro 0 k a 0 0 r 4 Public Works /Engineering discontinued all new service installations and ser- vice renewals on private property. The division also had their normal busy year main- taining and monitoring the pumping stations, clean- ing the sanitary sewer lines, and repairing or renewing broken water & sewer mains and services. The Equipment Division maintains all Public Works road machinery equipment which includes service, preventive maintenance & major repairs on all vehicles. This division also does major repairs on the Fire Department vehicles and the repairs & service on School Department vehicles. In the past year, we have installed a new heavy duty truck lift, a new tire machine, and a 100 ton press. With the installation of this equipment, the maintenance division is able to handle all repairs from minor to major. ADMINISTRATION /FACILITIES In addition to varied projects and maintenance tasks, Administration /Facilities emphasized strong support for Recreation, Cary Library, and Fire departments, Conservation Commission, Garden Club and the Council on Aging. The Administration and Facility Manager accepted the added responsibility of overseeing the construction of the Lexington Center Pool complex, built by P & H General Con- tractors, Inc. of Revere - an overwhelming success, following its mid - summer opening. The Park Division is responsible for the main- tenance and general care of all parks, playgrounds, historical, recreational and conservation areas' plus the mowing of all school grounds. Maintenance involves fertilizing, mowing, loaming and seeding, chemical treatment and the lining of 24 ballfields as well as football, soccer and field hockey fields, care of outdoor track, tennis courts, basketball courts, pool operation and maintenance - plus the painting of bleachers, benches, swings and picnic tables. Several special projects were completed for the Conservation Commission: (1) a fire trail and bridge to improve much - needed access for police, fire and maintenance vehicles into the Whipple Hill area from Summer Street; (2) clearing of a large area (excavated by the Highway Division) for a skating and retention pond near Revere Street at North Lexington Brook; and (3) bridging brooks and removing brush along the horseback /walking trail between Bowman and Franklin schools. As backup support for the Recreation Department, the Adams School skating pond was reconstructed; silt and vegetation was removed from the Old Reservoir hoping to improve the water quality' and several projects were completed at the Center Playground. These included landscaping of the new pool complex, construction of a stone dust parking lot at the end of Park Drive and a complete re- furbishing of the visitor's stand. 22 Late spring spraying for gypsy moths on Gould Road. The Shade Tree Division is responsible for the care and preservation of all shade trees within the bounds of public ways. Major tree problems this year have been caused by insects and disease, but mainly the gypsy moth. 1980 war on the gypsy moth was waged with Dipel, a biological control material, not a chemical, which specifically kills leaf feeding caterpillars. Some heavily infested sections of town were sprayed twice thus saving them from defoliation. The division also continued its ongoing program of planting and pruning numerous shade trees and shrubs, and systematically injected many trees to control various diseases. The Cemetery Division, in addition to maintenance and services normally provided, planted a variety of new trees at Westview and Munroe cemeteries. They also expanded the watering system at Westview. In fiscal 1980 the division updated its records of all available grave sites. The Building Maintenance Division, which has charge of all public buildings under the jurisdic- tion of the Public Works Department, was able to complete building and energy improvements: doubling window glaze in Cary Memorial Hall; installation of storm windows at the Visitors' Center and the replacement of older type storm 0 0 4 c Public Works /Engineering windows at the Town Office Building; insulation of the attic areas of Cary Hall, Town Office Building, Police Station and Central Fire Headquarters; and replacement of 14 thermostats in the town offices. These projects have a short payback period on energy savings. Other tasks completed under the supervision of the division were the stripping and reshingling of the Park Department facility building roof at the center playground and the stripping and reshingling of the Visitors' Center roof. Due to the closing of three schools (Parker, Munroe and Adams) and their subsequent takeover by the Board of Select- men, the building maintenance forces confronted not only normal maintenance but also vandalism repair for the unoccupied buildings. Our continuing 'goal for the coming year is to con- serve energy by complying with Federal regulations to monitor and maintain up -to -date records on consumption of gas, oil, and electricity. As in the past, these efforts have contributed to substantial savings. V/ The Engineering Division in 1980 inspected 1.2 million dollars of sanitary sewer construction. The field work started with the completion of 5400 Linear feet of sanitary sewers that was started in late 1979. In early spring a sanitary sewer con- tract of about 7900 feet was bid and construction was completed by early fall. A third sanitary sewer contract containing 7800 Linear feet was bid this fall and will be substantially completed by years end. Also of note was the reconstruction of Hancock Street from Bedford Street to Adams Street under Chapter 90. This work was done in conjunction with the Massachusetts Department of Public Works. The Engineering Department also assisted the Recreation Department in designing and inspecting 6900 Linear feet of bicycle pathways. The con- struction of these bikepaths was started in October, should be essentially completed before the winter snows set in. Phase II of the Infiltration /Inflow Study was awarded to Linenthal, Eisenberg, Anderson, Inc. They are expected to start work this fall after grant is received from the USEPA. Phase III of the Comprehensive Drainage Study which includes the Tophet Swamp -North Lexington Brook area, was awarded to Camp Dresser & McKee, Inc. Also, a storm drainage master plan combining Phases I and II of the Comprehensive Drainage Study was compiled including lengths, sizes and estimated construction cost. This year we also started work on street and side- walk master plans which will be completed before 1981 Town Meeting. The street master plan con- sisted of compiling a list of all the unaccepted streets in town and field inspections of those streets. From these inspections we prioritized and determined an estimated construction cost. A traffic study in the Bedford Street and Hartwell Avenue area was also completed this fall. This study included collecting traffic data at various locations such as the access ramps of Route 128 and Bedford Street, all along Hartwell Avenue, along Wood Street and at Forbes Road. From this information, we recommended improvements in the Bedford Street and Hartwell Avenue areas. We again assisted the other town boards and agencies in reviewing various submittals from the Planning Board, Building Department, Conservation Commission and Board of Appeals. We also field inspected several subdivisions and condominium projects during this past year. Conclusion Faced with the problems of Proposition 2 -1/2 and the restraints that will be placed upon us, our goal is to continue to strive to give the best service we can to the residents of Lexington. We extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to all members of the Department of Public Works/ Engineering for their cooperation and help. Westview Development Plans Stalled Development activities in Westview Cemetery were in "neutral" most of 1980. Skyrocketing costs exceeded the 1979 appropriation for the projected service building and construction plans had to be postponed when bids exceeded available funds. As part of a twenty -five year master plan, and to meet the future needs of Town residents, a portion of the land south of the developed area was cleared and rough graded in 1976. When surveyed and staked out it should provide for 3,000 graves and would eliminate the need to restrict sale of 23 graves to those needed for immediate use. Although there is still a modest reserve of unsold graves available, early attention must be given to carry- ing forward the surveying program and laying out new graves in 1981. The area that had been graded and seeded in 1978, southwest of the portion presently developed, had been slated for surveying and laying out of graves in 1980. Unfortunately, shortages of staff engineers required placing a "hold" on all but work of the most pressing nature.

In our efforts to reduce crime, the concern of police is Primarily with crime prevention through an ongoing program which enlists public aid and cooperation in reach- ing our objectives. The maximum use of patrol and investigative resources, together with public support to reduce criminal opportunity, can be a strong deterrent to crimes against both persons and property. JUVENILE OFFENSES: It has been most gratifying to note a sharp decline in juvenile arrests and com- plaints against those under the age of 17 during this past year. We are hopeful, whatever the con- tributing factors, that this trend will continue during the coming years. 24 Sto/ en P ro party LEXINGroIV TRAFFIC: The downward trend in the motor vehicle accident rate over the past three years was pre- dictable. High police visibility at pre - selected locations where the accident potential exists, and our on -going selective traffic law enforcement program, which is both strict and impartial, have directly contributed to this. Thanks to the Rotary Club, we improved our enforce- ment program by adding a new radar "gun" to our arsenal. It has served several key and useful purposes thus far. Besides providing the court with accurate data, it bolsters engineering studies in neighborhoods where speed limit adjust- ments are under consideration. Cost - effectiveness is a prime responsibility in our ever improving service to the public. Long before "Proposition 2 -1/2 ", we had in place the foundation for new traffic legislation designed to Police a 2 M 0 X INVESTIGATIONS COMPLAINTS REPORTS 12 4 1970 '71 '72 '73 '74 '75 '76 '77 '7E '79 '10 curtail traffic violations. Highlighted is the relatively new non - criminal disposition of "minor" motor vehicle offenses which reduces the cost of prosecuting at the town's expense. We were instrumental in the formulation of this por- tion of the new court reorganization act. EDUCATION, TRAINING & EQUIPMENT: The current year saw the further upgrading of our department by the continuing education college programs in addition to our in- service police training sessions. During 1980 Lexington strengthened the capability of the police department by purchasing the finest and most modern radio equipment made, thus enabling Lexington to become part of the "Boston SERIOUS OFFENSES KNOWN TO POLICE i AUTO THEFT w „ 8 o � ® ® ® ® ® ® ® ® ® ® ® '70 '71 ,72 '73 74 73 76 77 '74 79 YO *ESTIMATED Area Police Emergency Radio Network."

GOALS FOR 1981: 1981 will see continued effort toward better understanding and closer cooperation between the police department and the public we are sworn to protect. Our goal, as always, is to obtain a significant decrease in preventable crime while providing maximum service and protection for the people of Lexington.

It also educates citizens, especially children about fire safety. The department in- spects buildings and enforces fire regulations along with conducting training courses on first aid and the use of fire extinguishers. The department maintains nine major fire apparatus houses in two stations. In 1980, the department responded to a total of 2300 emergency calls, compared with the previous year's 2544 calls. The decrease is due to fewer flooded cellar calls. On an average, the depart- ment answered 3.8 fire and 2.5 ambulance calls per day.. There were 2.6 serious fires per.month. On July 5, 1980, a serious house fire at 49 Reed Street, resulted in the death of Daniel Osborn, age 22, despite the efforts of firefighters to locate and rescue this person. The victim suc- cumbed to smoke inhalation. It was the first fire fatality in the town since January, 1975. In its ongoing training effort, the department formed a chemical advisory team of people with a chemical background who live or work in town. The team will help firefighters cope with hazardous materials incidents and provide training in this increasingly serious problem area. The department co- hosted two, two -day seminars conducted by nationally recognized fire service instructors for New England fire fighters. The department also received several courses from the Massachusetts Fire Fighting Academy and a Super- visors Training course 'sponsored by the Massachu- setts Municipal Association. All firefighters completed a course in Radiological Monitoring, and the emergency medical technicians received re- fresher and auto extrication courses. Department personnel spent considerable time both in- station and in -house advising citizens on the location and maintenance of smoke detectors. The department urges all residents to install these low cost life savers, and gladly supplies speakers and educational material to anyone interested in smoke detectors. Engine 5, now being built, will be delivered in the Spring of 1981. The aerial ladder truck, now 20 years old, is showing signs of old age. Plans for a higher performance vehicle with greater lighting capability and maneuverability, will likely be deferred for the time being due to fis- cal constraints under Proposition 2 -1/2. In July, the new van -style ambulance was delivered. Its design offers a smoother ride and direct access from the front to the patient compartment for more effective emergency care. Headquarters received storm windows, increased insulation, a separate hot water heater and a coat of paint on the outside. Interior improvements will await a more favorable budget. Fire Fighter Harold Foley retired due to a job con- nected heart disability. He served the community for 16 years and we wish him the best in his retirement. In closing, I would like to personally thank every member of the department who contri- buted to this successful year. 26 Emergency Services help accident victim to ambulance.

These efforts may help reduce 3 future need for enforcement actions in the regu- 1 lar food safety inspections. Our town health team had a stronger staff arm this year with the addition of public health sanitarian intern Sandra Gabriel. Thus, guided by the three - member Board of Health, the Department was able to extend and reinforce existing programs and reach into new areas of disease prevention, health and safety education and environmental protection. Initiated or given fresh emphasis in 1980: - Diabetes control workshops, conducted over a four -week period, focused on the problems of diabetics and their families. - The cancer prevention campaign, begun in 1979 with lung cancer /anti- smoking education was ex- tended to co- sponsor a breast_ cancer detection/ screening program with Symmes Hospital. - Hypertension control clinics were sponsored throughout the year, with full attention during May, which has been designated High Blood Pres- sure Month. As an adjunct to this, the Board of Health participated in the "Shake the Habit" aimed at education for reduced salt intake. - Rabies control received two new "shots in the arm" this year: A new three -year vaccination for dogs was introduced and a new post - exposure vaccine for humans was made available. Another new development in this regular program was the identification of rabies in bats, calling for re- newed monitoring of ground animals. - Food protection was improved by the Board's instituting training programs to help restaurant operators implement the "choke saver" law and to 27 - The Health Director participated in the Pest Control Advisory Committee to re- review and re- commend programs to combat mosquitoes and gypsy moths. - The new Center Pool Complex opening added to the department's regular program to ensure high levels of sanitation at all public and private club swimming facilities. Education, inspections with follow -ups, and permit issuance comprise this program. - Diving board safety education was initiated this year. - The "Old Res" had to be closed in mid -summer due to high bacterial counts for the first time in its history as a swimming area. Weekly water testing became daily during hot spells. - As part of "Clean Air Month" in September the Board conducted a clinic to check automobile ex- haust pollutants and provided education materials. All of the above innovations of 1980 supplement the regular on -going health programs which Lexington citizens enjoy ever ear: - The influenza clinic gives protection for senior citizens, the chronically ill and persons who provide essential community services. About 600 were immunized in 1980. A preumonococcal pneumonia clinic for senior citizens at a nominal fee, begun last year, was repeated this year. - Well- elderly clinics are conducted at senior citizen housing sites and in the rectory base- m Q �7 C 0 0 0 0.

They are available to all residents age 60 and over. - Visual health promotion, in cooperation with the Lexington Lions Club, includes pre- schoolers' eyescreening in the fall, assisted by the Pre - School P.T.A. and glaucoma clinics in May, aided by the Division of the Blind. - Communicable disease control for children through enforcement of school immunization laws continues, as does vigilance for the incidence of tuberculo- sis among school and school bus personnel as well as among refugee populations. Many active TB cases are followed annually by the Board of Health through the public health nurse. - Vaccine distribution is provided to local physi- cians through Health Department liaison with the State Department of Public Health. Participating physicians have agreed not to charge for these vaccines. - Among other Board of Health responsibilities are inspection of residences, rental properties, motels, lodging houses, summer day camps, day care centers, nursing homes and farm labor camps. As the office specifically devoted to the pre- vention or alleviation of conditions which could cause illness, injury or discomfort, the Health Department receives numerous calls and complaints, many requiring investigation and attention. The Board of Health and staff thank the many citi- zens and agencies of the town who have supported and encouraged efforts toward good public health and sanitation practices throughout the year. Animal Control: Adoption Encouraged TOTAL PERSONAL SERVICES $19,373.00 TOTAL EXPENSES (appropriated) 5,680.00 TOTAL PERSONNEL - FULL TIME 1 - PART TIME 1 The Lexington Animal Control Department has given shelter to many lost, homeless, and stray animals and this year, has had increased success in placing unclaimed animals into new homes. We would like to encourage the people of Lexington to visit our animal shelter and look at our selection of adopt- able animals before adopting a pet elsewhere. The number of dogs picked up by the Animal Control Department has decreased steadily over the last five years from a high of 561 in 1976 to a low in 1980 of 250. Unfortunately, the number of dogs adopted out of the Lexington Animal Shelter has also decreased steadily over the last five years from 51 in 1976 to a low 13 in 1980. A detail of this appears in Part II. 1980 was our first full year of operation since the new Massachusetts Court Reform went into effect. The new court fine schedule seems to have caused a decrease in the number of dog law violations, especially repeat violations. The new leash law violation fine schedule is as follows: First Offense ...............Dismissal on Appearance Second Offense ...... .........................$25.00 Third Offense ....... .........................$30.00 Fourth or Subsequent Offense .................$50.00 In addition, the Board of Selectmen approved a few changes in the kennel fees at the Lexington Animal Shelter which follow: 28 First time of impoundment ....................$25.00 Second or Subsequent Time of Impoundment ..... $50.00 Board per day per dog (1 -6 days) .............$ 3.00 Board per day per dog (7 or more days) ....... $ 5.00 Adoption of pure bred dog ....................$20.00 Adoption of mixed breed dog ..................$ 5.00 Adoption of pure breed cat ...................$ 5.00 Adoption of mixed breed cat ..................$ 2.00 All charges are payable in cash only, at which time a receipt will be issued. All impounded animals are held a minimum of ten days unless claimed by their legal owners. Dogs not claimed within this ten day period become the legal property of the Town of Lexington and may be sold to new owners or disposed of at the discretion of the Animal Control Officer. Callers wishing to speak to the Animal Control Officer personally should call the Animal Shelter between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. at 862 -0500 ext. 35. The Animal Control Officer is not always able to return calls the same day. If a call is urgent, a message should be left for the Animal Control Officer at his office on week -days and at the Police Station on weekends and holidays. The Animal Shelter is open for business weekdays from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. and on weekends and holidays from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 Noon. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Town agencies, local veterinarians and the Massachusetts S.P.C.A. for their help and co- operation during the past year. Appropriation Committee Steadies Tax Rate fter several years of very substantial increases in our property taxes, the $1.80 tax rate rise mM in 1979 seemed a welcome relief. At that time the Committee had hoped that the many substantial state - mandated programs would be offset by in- creased funding from the state for local aid and thus actually contribute to a drop in the rate. However, the increased funding occurred the next year, so that our tax rate dropped $2.60 in 1980. Optimistically we had hoped that the long- sought opportunity for "reasonable tax stabilization" might be in the cards. However, this year a decrease in state aid combined with many energy related projects (most of which seemed fiscally responsible) and the solution of the solid waste disposal problem produced a large turnaround in our property tax. The above expendi- tures combined with the Town Meeting vote to reno- vate the High School library, continue LEXPRESS service at an increased town contribution and the purchase of the new police radar network elevated the tax rate $4.40. This year the Appropriation Committee met with all town boards and committees before Town Meeting for critical discussions of their budgets on several occasions. Prior to these meetings, appointed and assigned sub - committees of our committee met with the appropriate town boards and committees trying to make sure that all items agreed to in the budget were reasonably justified. Because of the diverse opinions as to cost of fuel (both gasoline and heating oil) we suggested that the line items con- taining their appropriation be voted on separately so that any amounts not spent would be returned to the town and non - transferable. This was general- ly acceptable. It must be clear to all citizens that the uncon- trollable portion of our town budget (namely; retirement costs, unemployment compensation, in- surance, debt service, very large county costs and MBTA assessments, negotiated wage settlements and school fiscal autonomy) leaves very little of our budget that we can control. However, we again are for tax stability, and we shall attempt to achieve this against ever increasing pressure for more and more money to be spent in the areas of transporta- tion, recreation, health and social services. It might be noted that the acceptance of Proposi- tion 2 -1/2 by the voters will help stabilize the tax rate, per se. The Appropriation Committee realizes that the significant problems involved in the consideration of priorities for services will constitute additional burdens on them. Capital Expenditures Committee Studies Future Plans The Capital Expenditures Committee is charged with the responsibility of making a five -year projec- tion of the capital needs of the Town. It reviews the relative need, cost, adequacy and timing of the various requests, as well as the effect these expenditures might have on the financial position of the town. The committee requests and receives from the various town boards and departments a list of all capital projects anticipated over the ensuing five - year period. With this data the committee has been able to predict fairly accurately the future capi- tal requirements of the town, and can recommend ways to prevent these expenditures from being an undue burden to the town in any single year. This past year saw a continuation of the implemen- tation of the Sewer Master Plan, the closing of the sanitary landfill, a new communication system for the Police Department and the completion of a new swimming pool complex. Funds were also appropria- ted for a study of the needs of our senior citizens and for an investigation into the appro- priateness of using a surplus school site for a Senior Center. The coming years will probably involve major pro - iects within the Department of Public Works arising rom the ongoing Inflow - Infiltration and Drainage studies. The passage of Proposition 2 -1/2 will have a significant effect on our future capital funding abilities. This committee will constantly work towards recommendations which will lead to an orderly overall town budget. 29 Capital Expenditures Committee.

TOTAL PERSONNEL - FULL TIME 4 PART TIME 3 TOTAL PERSONNEL SERVICES $62,460 TOTAL EXPENSES $ 8,300 Fiscal 1981 saw the tax rate increase $4.40 or about 5 percent over Fiscal 1980. Almost $2.00 of this increase was due to the negative impact of the state assessments in which an additional $500,000 was charged to the town. Our county assessments and MBTA charges also increased substantially. The town fortunately faces future uncertainties in relatively good shape, with $2,900,000 in available funds. The revaluation of the town began in January and is proceeding on schedule with a Spring 1981 comple- tion date. Inventory mailers have been sent out to all residential property owners listing the physi- cal aspects of their property. Impact notices will be sent out during March and April 1981, showing the effect of new values based on the past year's tax levy. The Assessors, the revaluation firm and the computer people have met on numerous occasions to ensure smooth flow of scheduling and contract compliance. The Board of Assessors is pleased with the contract progress to date and thanks all homeowners for their cooperation during this phase of the revaluation. During the past year the Assessor's Office assisted the revaluation firm and continued to coliduct its own work at an unabated pace. During the year records of approximately 350 properties were up- dated due to transfers. Approximately 400 properties were inspected because of additions, alterations and new construction. Over 25,000 auto excise bills passed through the office, as well as betterments, water liens, abate- ments and exemptions. 30 Retirement Board's Job Grows During the year the town's Board of Retirement met at least once a month. At the 1980 Annual Town Meeting $852,432 was appropriated to the contri- butory retirement pension fund as the town's share of retirement allowances for the 1981 fiscal year, and $5,425 was appropriated for the board's operating expenses. In addition, $181,000 was appropriated to fund pension payments of non- contributory members or their beneficiaries. Town employees, through payroll deduction, contributed over $410,000 to the fund. The town took its third step toward meeting its unfunded pension liability when it appropriated $200,000 at the Annual Town Meeting. This money is invested until it is needed. As of December 31, 1980 there were 240 contributory retirees, an increase of 16 during the year. There are also 20 non - contributory retirees. Income from investments permitted us to credit interest to members' accounts at the rate of 6.7 percent. Trustees of Public Trusts The trustees presently administer thirty -seven trust funds. Over the years sums of money have been bequeathed or donated to the town of Lexington to be held in trust for a specified public purpose, including perpetual care funds of the Westview, Colonial, and Munroe cemeteries and the Bridge Charitable Fund, with a total book value on June 30, 1980 of $627,892.93. These funds are administered by a board of three trustees who are appointed by the Board of Select- men to staggered six -year terms. It is the trustees' responsibility to invest the funds pru- dently within the limitations imposed by the donor or by law and to distribute the income as specified by the particular fund. They have informal tele- phone meetings to take care of routine matters during the year and meet formally several times a year to ratify actions which have been taken. .I Town Clerk: A Long Year of Elections TOTAL PERSONAL SERVICES $ 55,954 TOTAL EXPENSES 23,320 TOTAL PERSONNEL - FULL TIME 4 PART TIME 56 This was the so- called "BIG" election year and it seems as though everything revolved around the one event. The election year started with the preparation for and running of two elections in two consecutive days. To the best of my knowledge, Lexington was the only town in the state that faced this situa- tion. Although the town's by -laws require that the annual town election be held the first Monday in March, Chapter 247 of the Acts of 1979 provided that if the date for the holding of a town elec- tion falls within thirty days before or after the presidential primary to be held in the year nine- teen hundred and eighty, the selectmen, after consultation with the town clerk may by majority vote establish a date between February first and May thirty -first for the holding of such town elec- tion. It was decided not to change the date of the local election. Having two elections in two days is not an ideal situation but Lexington handled the same problem in 1976 without disast- rous consequences. As the dust was settling from the two elections, town meeting commenced and continued for eight ses- sions in all which is a reduction of six sessions from 1979. The State Primary came next, clearing the way for the long awaited Presidential Election, preparation for which had started months in advance. 87% of the electorate exercised their right to vote at this election, 1,364 by absentee ballot. Of the 1,364 voting absentee, 1,047 ballots were mailed and 317 voted over the counter in the office of the town clerk. The operation of the town clerk's office is not confined solely to election related duties although at times it seems so. The day by day routine con- tinued around and between the many elections of 1980. In my opinion, the biggest accomplishment during 1980 was the microfilming of the town meeting, election and vital records. This was a long over- due project done mainly for security reasons and, although only a portion of the records in the office have been filmed, at least it is a start in the right direction. Registered Voters Exceed Record, Registrars Report TOTAL PERSONAL SERVICES $ 7,473. TOTAL EXPENSES 12,450. TOTAL PERSONNEL - FULL TIME 1 PART TIME 30 For the first time in Lexington history the number of registered voters exceeded twenty thousand. 20,181 were eligible to vote in the November Presi- dential Election, up from 19,771 in November, 1976. As is customary in a State Election year, nineteen extra registration sessions were held evenings and Saturdays in the Town Clerk's Office and in the precincts. The precinct sessions before a state election are required by law but have not proven very successful. Some nights only two citizens registered and fourteen was the highest number another evening. Compared to the numbers register- ing in the Town Clerk's Office daily, on the final Saturday (96) and on the final day before the November election (474), the precinct registrations appear to be a waste of time and effort. It may be that in a town like Lexington a change in the law is needed. 31 Pursuant to petitions filed with the,Board of Registrars, voter registration sessions were held at the Pine Knoll Nursing Home (15 registered), Lexington High School (103 registered) and Lexington Hall Nursing Home (25 registered). Many voters changed their party enrollment for the Presidential Primary but the big shift came after the primary. For the period March 4 through June 5 there were the following changes: Democrat to Un- enrolled: 744; Democrat to Republican: 14; Republican to Unenrolled: 842; Republican to Demo- crat: 14; Unenrolled to Democrat: 1; Unenrolled to Repulbican: 3. The total number of changes for the period was 1,618. 1980 was also a year for certifying signatures on initiative petitions and nomination papers for town, county, state and presidential candidates. It will be remembered as the year of the "independent" can- didate for President and of the approximately 7,000 names checked and certified, 2,834 of them submit- ted for the "Anderson Coalition" candidacy. Treasurer Reports Peak in Fiscal Fitness The following table adds a revealing chapter to what has been Lexington's continually improving financial health. In the early 1970's, the town usually had to borrow $5,000,000 to $5,550,000 toward the end of the fiscal year - borrowing on short term bank loans and repaying from the next round of tax collections. Tax Anticipation Investment Fiscal Year Borrowing Income 1978 $3,500,000 $187,736 1979 750,000 349,736 1980 -0- 637,196 As the table shows, in FY 1980 the town did not borrow, short term, for any tax anticipation needs. As a result, when taxes were collected the proceeds could be invested so that investment income in- creased dramatically. But that explains only half of the reason for the greatly increased investment income. The increase in funds available for invest- ment also coincided with the unprecedented increase in interest rates, which for a short time in early April reached 17 percent for 90 day certificates of deposit. Those rates crested in early April before the taxes due on May 1 became payable. Neverthe- less, the $637,196 earned in 1980 was to our know- ledge the largest amount ever earned in any one year in the town's history. The magnitude of that amount is not fully sensed until it is realized that it is the equivalent of a $2.33 reduction on the tax rate. Last year was also a good year for financing the town's capital construction program. Moody's Investment Service again awarded the Triple A rating to the $1,050,000 bond issue, sold to Conti- nental Illinois Bank and Trust Co. of Chicago to yield 5.1 percent. Proceeds of the issue paid off short term bank loans for conservation land pur- chases and for construction of sewers and the swimming pool. The routine operation of check reconciliation and administration of Blue Cross /Blue Shield proceeded normally. A deferred income tax program, optional for employees, became effective in 1980. Comptroller's Office Meters Town Monies TOTAL PERSONAL SERVICES TOTAL EXPENSES TOTAL PERSONNEL The Comptroller's Office, the focal point of town finances, serves all departments, boards, commit- tees and commissions by accounting for all monetary receipts and payments. It is the financial "watch dog" of the town. This office maintains the official accounting records of the town including the school department All payments, both for payrolls and bills, as well as all related financial reports and records are prepared here. All retirement matters are handled through this office by the Retirement Board. During the year the Comptroller's office processed more than 32 101,287 3,153 7 35,000 payroll checks, 13,000 bills - payable checks and issued over 2,300 W -2's statement of earnings paid employees. As of June 30, 1980 our fourth audit by an indepen- dent certified public accounting company was completed. The audit report and management letter found the town in excellent financial condition. During the upcoming year we will continue to study our encumbrance and expenditure classification accounting system as well as our bills payable check writing routine in an effort to streamline these functions. Tax Collector: All Routine and Running Smoothly After a year of working with the computer we can report that everything is running smoothly. Last year's new experiences have become "just routine ". Approximately 10,000 real estate tax bills, 10,000 water bills and 215 personal property bills are mailed twice during a fiscal year. During a calen- dar year 25- 30,000 excise bills, plus betterment, ambulance, etc. are mailed. These are committed to the Collector's office to process and collect according to the General Laws. REAL ESTATE AND PERSONAL PROPERTY: These are due in this office by November 1 or May 1 (or 30 days from the postmark if dated after October or April 1). Payments made after that date are sub- ject to 14 percent interest retroactive to October or April 1 (or postmark). When demand bills are mailed late in May or early June there is a charge of $2.00 plus any interest. Within a year from the May payment,tax title pro- ceedings commence on unpaid real estate bills. This involves phone calls, letter writing, adver- tising and preparing instruments of taking to be re- corded with the Registry of Deeds. Property may be redeemed when all taxes, incidental expenses, fees and additional interest are paid in full. If left unpaid after a six -month waiting period the Town has the option of foreclosing. In the past only land of low value has been foreclosed. WATER BILLS: Due 30 days from January or July 1 (or mailing date). Any payment made after 30 days has an additional $1.00 demand charge. Bills left Town Debt and Interest unpaid after March become a lien on the real estate tax bill and this includes the $1.00 demand on each reading. There are no more than two readings liened per year. EXCISE BILLS: Due within 60 days of the date of issue. Late payments include interest and a $2.00 demand charge. If sent to the deputy for collection an additional charge of $5.00 is added. When on warrant and Registry Suspension Notice, the charges amount to $16.00 over and above the original bill, demand and interest. Hearings on unpaid bills are held at the Registry of Motor Vehicles and licenses are suspended if left unpaid. All other bills, aside from those previously mentioned, are due within 30 days. Persons re- ceiving betterment bills have the option of paying within 30 days or apportioning them on the tax bill over a period of five, ten, fifteen or twenty years plus 5 percent interest on the balance each year. Municipal Liens: $15.00 Betterment Discharges: $4.00. Usually these are requested by an attorney when property is being sold or a second mortgage taken out. These monies are turned over to the Treasurer weekly. This office does no billing and can only collect on bills committed to the department. All monies are proven out daily with stubs and the monies turned over to the Treasurer for deposit and schedules are submitted to the Comptroller. Our dealings with the computer have been greatly aided by clerks Martina Andersen, Anne Butler and Virginia Roberts.

This need ... is particularly important in a demo- cracy, where the strength of a nation depends to a major degree on a well informed public." These words were spoken by a formerly active public library Trustee - President Carter - at the opening of the recent White House Conference on libraries. Taking "education" to include a broad range of informational services and recreational uses, these words express a commonly accepted philosophy of public library service as a basic element in the life of American communities. "Education throughout life" through the public library is an increasingly popular activity in Lexington. 1980 saw new records in home circu- lation of a wide range of materials and in library attendance. Home circulation of items passed the 600,000 500,000 400000 total 300,000 200,000 100,000 adult main librapll half million mark for the first time at 510,828. At least as many items are used for references purposes at the Library. Total attendance at the main library was 371,969, up 21,043 from the pre- vious year. The busiest month of the year was March: 53,140 books circulated to homes and attend- ance was 37,598 at the main library. Lexington's annual circulation per capita at 15.73 and annual circulation per full time employee at 12,163 are easily records for libraries of its size in the state, and are probably as high as any in the country. PLANS FOR THE FUTURE The increasingly heavy patronage just described is of course coming at a time of fiscal austerity, and while this is understandable, it does create problems. Last year's report noted that these truly adverse tendencies of patronage and auster- ity constituted a mixed blessing, and that long range planning was underway in order to insure that limited resources were spent as wisely as possible. A composite report from committees working in the various service areas has been completed and presented to the Trustees. Various recommenda- HOME CIRCULATION 1960 62 64 66 66 70 CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY 34 72 74 76 7e 60 Cary Memorial Library tions are now under consideration. One major re- commendation has already been accepted. The Library is going to join "NELINET" through which,it will belong to an emerging national and computer- ized network of libraries of all types working together to share costs, resources and cataloging. We hope not only to be able to improve our services in these areas which depend heavily upon coopera- tion among libraries, but to be able to transfer some skilled personnel from behind the scenes technical work to direct public service. We expect to maintain the public service Lexingtonians want of their Library. Copies of the full Long Range Planning Report are available at the Library. Also covered in the report are other computer applica- tions, information and collection development, Lexington collection, maintenance of buildings and grounds, space utilization and staff improvement. PROBLEMS AND PROGRESS Difficulties in recruiting qualified personnel, a higher than normal rate of staff turnover and comparative salary data presented to the Board led to a Trustee request that the Personnel Advisory Board of the Town study the Library's salary plan. This was done. All custodial and technical person- nel and the position of Executive Secretary are now correlated with positions in the Town, and guide- lines for progress within a position on the merit basis have been clarified. Improvements were also made in the ranges and guidelines for merit in- creases for professional library staff. Nothing is so important to the Library as a highly qualified and motivated staff. It is essential that such comparative data, correlations and adjustments be made on a continuing basis for all positions. A problem for which we have found no permanent solution to date is a state mandated program for free reciprocal borrowing for non-residents. We applaud the purposes of the program, and indeed Lexingtonians benefit from being allowed to borrow materials from other libraries. We are urging however, that the state reimburse those Towns which lend a good deal more than they borrow. This has been done on a irregular basis only, but ought to be done annually through the development of a for- mula if the program is to contirmie as constituted. IN MEMORIAM The Library Trustees and staff lost three friends and associates during the past year. Rev. Harold T. Handley's death ended over forty years of service to Cary Library as an active Trustee, Vice - President, President and Advisory Committee member. To extend his remarkable interest in the Library to future patrons, the Board of Trustees has established a permanent fund in his memory. Dona- tions are now being received for this, and a leaflet on the program is available at the Library. Ann Kent, a dedicated cataloger and tireless worker also died this year, as did our former head custo- dian, Joseph Zuppe. The work of both of these 35 r i t i r--- a r� R C �o C r a 50. valued employees was mostly behind the scenes, but it helped make the Library run well indeed, and we greatly appreciate their contributions. The Staff Association is making book purchases in memory of each, and would be pleased to receive further donations from patrons and friends. THANKS The persons and organizations we should thank for exhibits, donations, services and books are too numerous to list, but we would like to single out several for special mention: the Building Commissioner and the Town Manager for timely help on the serious replacement problem we have with our new stucco facade, the Personnel Advisory Board for its services already mentioned, and Suzanne Nicot, our former Assistant Director, who resigned after many years of outstanding service. BUDGET The FY 1980 budget was $595,989, of which $538,186 was appropriated, the balance being State Aid and Trustee income. $403,561 was expended for person- nel, $107,903 for library materials and $84,525 for other operating expenditures. Cary Lectures Continue to Diversify m m 0 C q O �0 q 4N N 0 0 a z c m C c k a c z a The Cary Lecture Committee chose two totally un- related subjects for presentation during the past season in order to cater to a broad range of inter- ests. On November 17, 1979, close to 700 people attended an illustrated lecture on Whale research In the Stellwagon Bank area off Provincetown. The speaker was Dr. Charles Mayo, associate scientist at the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies. On May 11, 1980, the Civic Symphony Orchestra of Boston under the direction of Max Hobart, pre- sented an afternoon program of a virtuosity rarely available within Lexington. All lectures and programs are held at Cary Memorial Hall and are free of charge under the terms of the supporting grant from the Trustees of the Isaac Harris Cary Educational Fund who, in turn, act under the terms of the wills of Elizabeth Cary Farnham and Susanna E. Cary. Notification of pro- grams to residents was accomplished through local newspaper editorial, paid advertising and posters in public places. The committee is always pleased to receive program ideas in writing from interested residents. 36 4 m n q c v q q O q b 0 0 a 0. a q q O q 0 0 a Pool Opening Tops Recreation Year ted: Pauline Spagnolia; Carolyn Wilson; Robert Eby.

After many anxious moments, alternate plans and changed dates, the new pool at the Center Play- ground opened August 1. Just at the peak of a typical New England heat wave, it opened with an average daily attendance of over 1000 people. Participants waited in line to christen the new diving pool and awaited room in the 25 meter pool for space to swim laps. In anticipation of a delayed opening, swim lessons were moved to the Old Res, with some pool time rented from Hayden so that the advanced lessons could be completed and students certified. A recreation swim team of about 30 youngsters practiced at the Res and Hayden and was ready to compete when the pool opened. The pool hosted two meets. The addition of the separate diving pool, with two one -meter and one three -meter boards, made diving lessons popular. The pool stayed open through September. The high school girls swim team took advantage of the ex- tended season for practice before meets. Recreation staff conducted a survey at the pool during its six weeks of operation. The results and comments will be used to help plan for next summer's program. The Preschool PTA spent a busy year advocating preschool age.concerns and needs to the Recreation Committee. Through their efforts, a well used morning drop -in program was conducted at the High School. Many toddlers under a year to five took advantage of the equipment and toys provided through the high school's Early Childhood education program. The program commenced again this Fall with a local mother providing craft and game activities. A new sandbox was built at the relocated Center Playground tot lot.

The Preschool PTA worked with the Committee on this project, raising funds and researching the design. A mild, snowless winter shortened the skating season and resulted in cancelled cross country ski lessons. Many youngsters took advantage of the downhill ski lessons offered through the department at Boxboro Hills. A part time person was hired to develop winter activities for the junior high age population and special needs young adults. Skiing, bicycling, canoeing and a "discover Boston" trip, as well as a cookout, open gym and movies were featured for the teens. Arrangements were made with the East Branch Library to share space and resources so that the supervised summer playgound programs at Adams School would continue. The very active summer playground pro- gram was threatened due to the school closing. Lack of storage, restrooms, water and rainy day space will continue to be a problem now that the school is closed. The Recreation Department in Winchester combined its efforts with Lexington to offer a Friday night drop -in gym program, holiday party and circus trip to the two communities special needs population. A summer recreation program for this group is also done in cooperation with Winchester. Karate instruction, theatre games workshops and art classes were also offered by the department. Combined efforts and shared resources enabled the department to conduct a Spring Swim Meet with Hayden Recreation, the Red Cross to conduct a canoeing course at the Reservoir, and senior citi- zens to swim one noontime each week at Hayden. Construction of the 8.8 miles of Bike paths con- necting schools with the Center and meandering through pleasant conservation areas started in the Recreation Fall. Monies for the path were approved at the 1978 Town Meeting. By the Spring of '81, the path should be completed. Capital improvements at Sutherland Heights play area included a backstop, and fence constructed along the town boundary line. New playground equipment was also purchased. The tennis backboard was relocated at the end of the tennis courts due to the pool construction. RECREATION FACILITIES Thanks to the Parks Department, a bad crack at the center courts was repaired, the pond behind Adams School was cleaned and cattails cut so that winter skating could be resumed in this natural area. The Committee was also successful in getting $15,000 at Town Meeting for upgrading five play areas in Lexington: Rindge, Center, Kineens, Garfield and Baskin.

Mr. Dhimos contributed much time to the Committee as an advo- cat for youth, ball leagues, field improvements, tennis court repair and upkeep, as well as lending technical support in facility lighting. Since he was the longest serving member on the committee, he was able to contribute historical data related to recreation facilities, and served as depart- ment's budget watchdog. Historical Commission Promotes Preservation A proposal for rehabilitation and reuse of Garrity House - formerly the Red Cross Headquarters and part of the Meriam family farm in early 19th cen- tury days and now an integral part of the Lexington Green - will be considered at the 1981 Annual Town Meeting. Planning for the house on Hancock Street began in a series of meetings with the Lexington Historical Society and the Historic Districts Commission and continued in coordinating meetings with Town offi- cials and a report on the significance, condition and potential uses of the house. Further docu- mentation followed in field investigation and an Historic Structures Report by a team of graduate students from the Boston University American Studies Program, as arranged by the Commission. In its sixth year, the Commission carried forth its historic work in several other projects, both specific and town -wide: Excellence in Preservation Award this year went to Dorothy and Richard Laton of Hancock Street for sensitive installation of a solar system - an outstanding example of new technology applied to an old building without destruction of historical and architectural character. The presentation was in May during National Preservation Week, which was cosponsored by the National Trust for Preservation and U.S. Department of Energy. Review of Plans for Mill Brook Valley Relief Sewer will help ensure no negative impact on historic resources. The Commission further requested that archaelogical finds, should they occur, be dealt with positively. Inventory of the town's historically and architec- turally significant properties is now substantially completed by Henry Taves, the Commission's summer intern, who also established a convenient ref- erence file on Lexington's development. In addi- tion, he recommended ways to preserve Lexington architecture and was on the scene documenting the In a continuing effort to let residents know what recreation facilities and programs are available in town, staff updated the conservation /recreation and open space map; prepared a handout on Recrea- tion Department programs and other leisure servic- ing resources in the area; used the water bills to communicate information on the new Pool; and continues to make available seasonal program bro- chures on department -run programs. 39 Historical Commission at Garrity House.

Fitzgerald The Lions Club annual award to a Lexington citizen who has served the town with distinction went to William P. Fitzgerald. The presentation was made by Club President Richard A. Michelson on Patriot's Day. "Man of the Year" understates "Bill's" many contri- butions, because his has been a lifetime contribu- tion - in no sense a short term one. That service started when he became a teenage Battle Green tour guide. In citing his activities, President Michelson listed 30 years as a Town Meeting Member, 21 years as Chairman of the Fire Commissioners, many years in the Lions Club where he held most of the offices including that of President. He sparked the beginning of the Lions Club Fourth of July Carni- val and Lions Club Road Race. lie was a member of the Bicentennial Celebration Committee, and for nine years he has been a member of the Town Celebrations Committee, now serving as chairman. He also has been drillmaster for the High School color guard and drill team, and was an active supporter of youth baseball and football teams. Indeed, name the organizations that gave distinction and flavor to Lexington and he has been a part of most. But the list of his affiliations is not the measure of the man. He is a devoted churchman, warm friend and fine citizen. The Rev Harold T.

April 20 saw the reenactment of the British re- treat, beginning at Fiske Hill, down Massachusetts Avenue to a clash with the Minute Men at Hastings Park, a stop at Munroe Tavern, and the largest skirmish at Tower Park. The operation was organized by Brig. Gen. "Bud" Chapman of the Bedford Minute Men. Patriots Day April 21 observances began with the dawn reenactment of the Battle Green action between the Lexington Minute Men and the British 10th Regiment. The morning Youth Parade was headed by High School Senior Class President David White, with Danny Goldstein, Jim Roberge, Karen Foley, Karen Corte; Bonnie Lui. Youth Awards were presented to Donna Eplett, Eugene Lee and Eugene Mewborn, with special awards to Priscilla Hill and Sheryl Franks. Winston Flynn was chairman of the Youth Recognition Awards.Committee. The Lawrence C. Stone award went to Michael Fresina of the Hayden Recreation Center Drum Corps. Other morning activities included pancake breakfasts, a 5 -mile road race with 411 entrants and 402 finish- ers and memorial services by the DAR and Lexington Minute Men. In the afternoon parade, prizes were awarded the best floats depicting the day's theme, "1980: A New Decade for Democracy." Winners were: Lexing- ton DeMolay, Folk Art Center, the Elks and Lexing- ton Theatre Group. Chief Marshall was Joseph C. Steinkraus, CDR, USNR; Chief of Staff; Robert C. Jackson, Lt. Col. USAR.

At the Battle Green, the governor's proclamation was read by Mary Miley, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen. The Rev. Lyle Jacobson read the in- vocation and benediction. The committee wishes to especially thank the High School Band, Director Donald Gillespie, Jr., and Judy Allen and all other individuals and organiza- tions which participated in the celebrations. The committee also welcomes new members Marion Snow and Robert Jackson, and congratulates Karen Gaughan on her appointment as Vice Chairman. Historic Districts: Quiet But Firm The Historic Districts Commission has tried once again in 1980 quietly to bring about modest im- provements in the appearance of the four districts. Some of the new signs in Lexington Center seem especially deserving of notice. Our work seldom attracts much attention, but the rejection of asphalt shingles for the Visitors' Center created some summer stir. We hope that 1981 will see the installation of new wood shingles. We also hope that a way will be found to save the Red Cross (Garrity) house as well as the barn at the Han- cock Street end of the Buckman Tavern grounds. After ten years of service Mrs. Georgia Williams retired in 1980. She and her southern accent will be sorely missed! Fortunately we have as a re- membrance of her a marvelous collection of photo- graphs of the districts, carefully assembled over many years, which are an invaluable aid to us in our work. 42 G m C 0 m m a 0 0 0.

An open meeting was held June 28 to welcome former and prospective guides. Senior guide James Lyon and the new director, Cornelius P. Cronin, outlined the duties: how to conduct a tour, dress, etc. New guides must take a written and oral exam to qualify, and pay a fee of one dollar for their official license, good for one year. Applications are available at the Visitors Center. The summer of 1980, extended to the October foliage season, was a busy year for the guides, who render an excellent service to the town. There is no set fee for a tour. Visitors, after listening to the historical story and viewing the sites and build- ings, make a donation to their guides. Two free tours were given by the guides for Lexing- ton residents. School children from Lexington and other towns add the tours to their American history programs. The Rev. Harold T. Handley, who died in March, was a director of the guides for many years. Historic Districts Commission. L /R: Richard More- house, Associate; Linda McAulay, Associate; S.

This was accomplished through land acquisi- tions, land management_ and the monitoring of wet- land alterations. Additionally, seven small pieces of tax title, or town -owned land were transferred to conservation protection. Money Returned to the Town. Under the State Self - Help reimbursement program, the Commission was successful in obtaining $63,500 for 1979 acquisi- tions. This money is turned over to the Town Excess & Deficiency Account. Coupled with the monies previously received from state and federal funding, this brings the Town's reimbursement to Above: A path in Meagherville conservation area is explored by Commissioner Stolz.

In 1980 the Commission presented and Town Meeting voted to acquire three parcels of land for conservation and passive recreational purposes. Each piece was contiguous to previously acquired conservation land, improving access to as well as enlarging these areas: 17.5 acres adjacent to Dunback Meadow, 1.5 acres off Hancock St. and adjacent to the North Lexington Brook Land, and 11.5 acres near Wood St. abutting Katandin Woods Land and the former Sanitary Landfill. over $1,500,000 to offset a total investment of $3,095,000. Although reimbursement is authorized, it is not automatically forthcoming. The Conservation Director has been overseeing the land management program, with the assistance of the Parks Dept. and outside contractors where necessary. He has also coordinated the efforts of various civic groups including Scouts and Field and Garden Club. We appreciate the interest of John Ullberg, who completed a land mangement plan for the North Lexington Brook Area, which is in its first stage of implementation. The existing farm pond has been quadrupled in size, thus providing a larger skating area, scenic beauty, and important flood control for an impacted area. Community gardens have flourished as local citizens test their agricultural skills on conservation land in three areas: Dunback Meadow, Idylwilde, and Shaker Glen. The program, now in its ninth year, has been increasingly successful with benefits to all concerned. In addition, we now lease 25 acres of conservation land to farmers who harvest hay or grow row crops, which are sold locally. Wetland Protection. The alteration of wetlands continues to be of major concern, and wetland hearings, under state and local by -law represent much of the commission's workload. Alteration of wetlands also involves the monitoring of illegal dumping or filling, as well as site inspections with the state agency and any aggrieved developer, whose application has been denied. In the past year seventeen wetlands hearings were held: Heidke Realty Trust, Young St. (201 -85 BL 32) ** Trinity Realty Trust, Clematis Rd. & Allen St. (201 -86 BL 33) 43 m c 0 C a a� s x m U Qi 0 0 a Conservation Commission * For more structured recreation areas and playgrounds see Recreation Committee report, Part I. 44 M to N b "Cl " � N v G w ° CU "I n m r w a C Ca u ❑ cn •� ao P+ w 4 •� u u u co G •� m u ro •.i -0 v u H rl .� U] 0 G G •H •H G v N G a1 P P. •0 b v S+ u •�i x U1 G G •rl •r1 G N N i +-+ m 7 H W a m ,7 v •,i �+ a� ro aj GM v x b v u G u U .0 �--i � b �+ � OJ G u w N x U)zw W �:)M es �za>t3w�¢w�ca' Acres �e3i: U 1 Belfrey Hill XT-F 14 Mea herville Ix Ix I I 1 1 30 2 Bowman Park X X 15 N.

The Lexington Minute -Man had a year long series entitled "This Land is Your Land ", which featured in -depth profiles of indivi- dual conservation areas. No previous effort has stirred such interest in conservation land. The Fence Viewers: Neighbors As Peacemakers Fence viewers have been a part of town life in Massachusetts since colonial days. Usually two in number they are appointed by the Board of Select- men to give counsel to citizens about to build or repair fences. They have no direct authority and can go no further than to cite the applicable laws. Sometimes disputes arise between neighbors over line fences and occasionally if feelings are not unduly entrenched fence viewers have helped as peacemakers. Fence viewers sometimes are brought into cases where private lands border town land, all with the thought of preventing encroachment upon town land. We note with deep regret the passing of Harold T. Handley. He had been a fence viewer from 1952 until his death on March 2, 1980. Commission appreciates the reporting of Jennifer Hill and Alice Hinkle, who wrote the series and applauds the Minute -Man for publishing the series. The nature walks sponsored in conjunction with Citizens for Lexington Conservation have proven to be very popular and represent a fine opportunity for townspeople to learn about their conservation lands. The Conservation Commission will miss Erna Greene and Susan Solomon, both of whom resigned this year. Mrs. Greene has been secretary to the Commission for nearly eleven years. During her tenure steady progress was made in land acquisition and ecologi- cal improvements and the Commission is indebted to her. Mrs. Solomon, a member of the Commission for six years, and an associate member for three pre- vious years, brought a unique viewpoint to all deliberations. She will be hard to replace. In September, the Commission hired a new secretary, Laurie Macauda. The Commission also wants to thank its Conservation Director for his con- tinuing efforts. A perimeter fence was built in spring by the com- munity gardeners at Idylwilde conservation area, with the cooperation of the Conservation Commission. 45 a v° 0 0 Q 0 �o 4 M b Appeals Board Ponders Land Use Legalities The Board of Appeals operates under the authority of Chapter 40A of the Zoning Act of Massachusetts, of the Zoning By -Law of Lexington and of the Town of Lexington General Laws. To quote briefly from Section 14 of 40A (Powers of the Board of Appeals): (1) To hear and decide appeals in accordance with Section 8, 40A (persons aggrieved by inability to obtain a permit or enforcement act from any administrative officer). (2) To hear and decide applications for special permits. (3) To hear and decide petitions for variances. In exercising the powers granted by this section, board of appeals may, in conformity with the pro- visions of this chapter, make orders or decisions, reverse or affirm in whole or in part, or modify any order or decision, and to that end shall have all the powers of the officer from whom the appeal is taken and may issue or direct the issuance of a permit. The Board met 24 times in 1980, scheduling and advertising 112 hearings (a 5 percent increase from last year), generally on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. Of these, 5 were with- drawn with the consent of the board, several to be scheduled later. A listing of all hearings with decisions appears in Part II of this report. There were four site plan reviews: Additions to Raytheon and Tektronix, and new buildings for Kiln Board of Appeals. L/R seated: Thomas Taylor, Natalie Riffin, Woodruff Brodhead; Ruth Morey, Chairman; Evelyn Cole, Administra- tive Clerk; Irving Mabee. Standing: Associates: William Hays, Eric Clarke and Robert Whitman. Absent: Associates: Robert Gary, William Scouler and Clarence Turner. Brook (131 Hartwell Avenue) and Boston Properties (424 Bedford Street). In the housing field there were two cluster zone proposals on Allen Street and Lawn Avenue and the Potter Pond condominiums on Walnut Street. Several restaurants changing ownership received special permits and garden stands received renewals. More than one -half of the hearings were for variances from dimensional controls, one -half of those being required when sur- veys at time of property transfers showed discre- pancies from zoning by -law requirements. The re- mainder of the variances requested concerned additions to existing houses or requests to build on lots of questionable standing. The 1980 Town Meeting vote to incorporate the Sign By -Law into the Zoning By -Law has not appreciably changed Board of Appeals practices; free standing and projecting signs continue to need special per- mits. There have been seven such hearings. Swimming pools, added to the special permit list in 1979, brought ten hearings this year, same as last year. The office continues to be a clearing house of in- formation, ably staffed by the clerk of the board, Evelyn Cole. All records are now filed by street and number, a task which consumed time. In the spring the Board compiled a new fee schedule to be considered by the Board of Selectmen. In May Irving H. Mabee was reappointed to a second full term on the Board, and William C. Hays was appointed an Associate to succeed Robert A. Bowyer, who resigned in February to become Planning Director. Planning Board Shifts Personnel, Hones Policy This was a year of transition for the Planning Board. Charles Downe, a professional planning con- sultant, served as Interim Planning Director while the search for a permanent director continued. In April, Robert Bowyer, a resident of Lexington for 16 years, was named Planning Director. In October, Mrs. Marion Snow, the Board's Administrative Clerk for 9 years, transferred to the Selectmen's Office. The 1980 Town Meeting supported the Planning Board in approving a recodification of the Zoning By -Law. 46 This article did not deal with needed revisions to the By -Law, but simply put similar material to- gether resulting in a more understandable document. In a later session of Town Meeting, new sign regu- lations were added to the Zoning By -Law. These up -dated the former by -law, and permit, under cer- tain conditions, signs which hang perpendicular to buildings. With imagination and ingenuity these signs could add visual attractiveness to our business districts. Planning Board A Policy and Procedure Manual is being compiled by the Board. Probably the most noteworthy policy (excluding the housing policy described below) is one which deals with open space characteristics where such open space is required by the Zoning By -Law. Because there has been so much confusion about what should or should not be considered open space when reviewing particular developments, the Board adopted an Open Space Policy which sets forth guidelines on wetlands, building setbacks, etc. We feel that well- designed open space, especially that which preserves natural features, is important in obtaining a residential environment of lasting value. Equally important in the consideration of open space is its quality. A policy statement on "adequate grade and construction of streets" is also currently under review. The Board and its staff spent considerable time making studies and preparing reports for Town Meet - ine and other Town boards, including reports on several major rezoning proposals at the 1980 Annual Town Meeting, plus detailed reports for special permit granting authority on the following proposed developments: Potter Pond, off Walnut Street, (RD - multi - family condominium housing); Deposi- tor's Trust, Hartwell Avenue, (CD - controlled commer:ial); Boston Properties, Bedford Street, (office complex); Parker School conversion to condominium apartments; and a two - building office complex to be added to the Knights of Columbus land on Bedford Street. Each of these has its own unique special concern. The on -going review of new subdivision streets for acceptance as public ways and the upgrading of existing private ways (open to the public) leading to acceptance continue to be conducted. The Board has initiated a "sensitive areas" ana- sis of those areas most likely to be subject to private development activity. While this could be a very useful compilation of data to.assist in determining the impact of a proposed development on a given area, it has a low priority because of the existing heavy workload. Active citizen partici- pation and assistance could be of great help in this program. Planning Board.

Housing. The Planning Board is committed to carrying out the Housing Policy Resolution passed at the 1979 Town Meeting. In an endeavor to see meaningful numbers of low and moderate income housing scattered throughout the Town, the Board established a policy, as reported to the 1980 Town Meeting, that would require future increased - density housing proposals designate 20 percent of the units for low /moderate income housing in order to have Planning Board support. Seven units of low /moderate income housing, to be operated by the Housing Authority, will be added to- ward meeting the Town's goals when the Parker School conversion project is completed. In another endeavor to increase affordable housing, the Board resubmitted its proposal for permitting accessory apartments. While this did not receive approval from Town Meeting, the Board still feels this is a viable option which should be considered by Town Meeting. Discussion has been carried on in an effort to find a realistic way of encouraging construction of more moderate sized and moderate priced housing units. As yet, no consensus has been reached, and while this will remain a top priority item, it appears we shall not have an article on this for the up- coming warrant. Subdivision Activity. The Board had eight sub- divisions before it. Of these, three were approved; one was denied; one had a previous appro- val rescinded; and three are still in the Prelimi- nary stages. Under Section 9.4 of the Zoning By -Law, two Special Permits were issued. 28 Sub- division Approval Not Required Plans (Form A's) were reviewed, five Certificates of Zoning compli- ance were approved, and three opinions on the adequacy of construction of unaccepted ways were given.

This activity includes a slight increase in new residential units and more business expansion than last year. Increases were also recorded in the issuance of other permits, i.e. plumbing 40 percent, gas 11 percent, mechanical 117 percent, electrical 17 percent. Even though the cost of energy has increased, the number of permits for in- stallation of wood burning stoves has decreased by 52 (22 percent). On the other hand, the number of permits issued for installation of solar water heaters has increased by 3 (21 percent).

The department has some key new staff this year. After the death of John Byrne (the Plumbing Inspector for 25 years) Joseph P. Barrell was appointed as the new Plumbing, Gas and Mechanical Inspector. Richard Lupo resigned as Sealer of Weights and Measures and was replaced by Richard W. Ham, Jr. The addition of Peter Curro as a Building Inspector has aided the department in keeping up with the required field inspections of new construction. For the most part, the delays experienced in 1979 were eliminated. Based upon activity initiated this year, 1981 should bring five or six new office buildings and two or three additions to commercial structures in the Bedford Street - Hartwell Avenue area. Potter Pond condominiums will continue construction toward the 100 unit total. Forty of the units were started in 1980. One large and three or four small residential developments are already in the appro- val phase portending that we will have another busy year. c 0 G d 4 G C 0 0 a Pool C• • Permanent r`i ! . ' On August 1, 1980, a very hot day, over 2,000 Lexingtonians dipped and Marciting. dove into the center four -pool complex for the first time. Although open- ing was regretfully a month late, the pools enjoyed acclaim and popularity through the late September seasonal closing. Throughout the 13 -month construction period, the Permanent Building Com- mittee exerted great care to assure that the pools' sound design and con- struction will serve the town well into the next century. Day -to -day building activities were most capably overseen by Emanuele Coscia of the Public Works Department, Clerk -of- the - Works; beyond that, the major com- mittee concern was control of funds above the $634,200 pool construction contract with P & H General Contractors, Inc. Concrete forms off! Total appropriation was $675,000. This $40,800 was available specifically for soils and concrete testing, consultants' fees, piping the old pool and for a contingency fund. The largest share of this sum provided additional fill and materials to give top quality below - ground support and drainage for deck and swimming pools. Other uses of non - contractural funds were Marcite pool finish to save later maintenance costs, a site well for assessing ground water levels around the deep pool and renovating the existing pool. With the pool construction contract virtually complete, the PBC looks toward formal termination of its responsibility for this project in early 1981. 48 Water!

Housing Authority Completes 17 Homes 1 980 saw the completion of our scattered sites project, the culmination of many years of Hous- ing Authority work and planning. The 17 single family houses are now in use. The Federal Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment (HUD) has reserved funds to permit acquisition of 25 additional family units. Under this pre- liminary approval we have applied for purchase of two units at Morrow Crossing and ten at Potter Pond condominiums. We also anticipate donation of seven units at the Parker School when its conversion is completed, as well as additional housing units elsewhere to qualify for this HUD funding. The 60 units at Countryside, for which land was voted in 1977, will be built by Weston Associates, Inc., whose proposal was selected among nine sub- mitted this year. Ground breaking is expected in spring, 1981. We have received funding from the Commonwealth's 705 program to acquire 12 existing family units, but so far we have not been able to do so. If the Red Cross - "Garrity" house becomes available, the Authority will seek 705 funds to acquire it. Under the state's 707 rent subsidy program we are making housing assistance payments to sixteen rental units and to 48 units under the HUD Section 8 rental assistance program. Application for seven- teen additional Section 8 units has been made. Continuing responsibilities include two housing areas for the elderly, 100 -unit Greeley Village, opened in September, 1968, and 48 -unit Vynebrooke Village, opened in March, 1973; both offer various services for the elderly. Well- elderly clinics are conducted at both sites, and the Recreation Depart- ment and Cary Library bring materials.

Maria White, a summer intern, served as temporary agent from July - September. In October, Jane Newcomb was appointed Veterans' Clerk on a permanent part -time basis. Office hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Department of Veterans' Benefits is a program jointly funded by the state and the town. The Department's rules and regulations are governed under Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 115. Veterans must meet certain qualifications of ser- vice, income, marital status, residence, and type 51 of discharge, among other criteria, to receive benefits. Once a Veteran starts to receive assis- tance for everyday living expenses, he or she is eligible for medical assistance also. All cases are investigated by the local agent and the state investigator. Veterans' Services is a program covering Veterans' rights, privileges and services over which the Federal Veterans' Administration has jurisdiction. It includes pensions, compensation, burial benefits, and loans. Grave Registration. A list of all Veterans who have died and are buried in Lexington is kept on file by this department. Every Memorial Day over 1,000 flags are placed in the three cemeteries in Lexington. G m 7 O C m .,7 O O t a H a Q V U W 0 0 a Council on Aging Grows and Expands The continued goal of the Council on Aging is to assist in the creation of a reasonable living environment which will enable the elderly to con- tinue to live in Lexington. The CoA also serves as an advocate for the over 5002 senior citizens. Development of New Quarters Continued. The present quarters of the CoA were opened in August of 1978 on the ground floor of the Church of Our Redeemer. The concept of these quarters, as temporary and experimental for the CoA, was overwhelmingly endorsed by the 1978 Town Meeting (Article 32) as part of the development of a more permanent Senior Center. The present facilities were to be flexi- ble enough to permit testing of new trial programs while established programs were continued and expanded. The temporary quarters have been so successful that we have rented two new rooms for expanded programs and a private office for the Coordinator. This year, in another program enlargement, we have initiated weekly congregate meals in the Great Hall of the Church on December 4, 1980. The CoA oversees 30 different programs including drop -in visits, regular pinochle and bridge games, bridge lessons, and various other games. Last year there were 4421 visits by seniors to the Center. This year there were 5569 visits, an increase of over 25 %. Telephone calls, requiring information and referral, increased from 4994 last year to 7480, an increase of almost 50 %. Evident- ly the CoA is becoming broadly recognized by people in need as a valuable source of information and re- ferral. The present spaces also host exercise classes, educational classes, open houses, widow - to -widow programs and films. Among New Activities and Changes, an emergency monetary fund, the Lexington Assistance Fund, has been organized to render immediate help to Lexing- ton Senior Citizens in cases of dire financial emergencies. Money has been raised for this pro- gram from churches and fraternal organizations in Council on Aging. L/R seated: Roy Weinstein, vice Chairman of CoA; Elise Morehouse, Assistant Coordinator; Joseph O. Rooney, Chairman; Joan Melcher, Coordina- tor; Rev.

Last year $2000 was raised. We are planning to seek such funds again. one of our long established and most successful programs is Meals on Wheels (MOW) which delivers two prepared meals a day to an average of 36 shut -ins. Dr. Sylvia Merfeld, who was in charge of this pro- gram since its origin three and a half years ago, resigned her position for personal reasons. Ruth Sawyer has taken the reins smoothly. 52 The Friends of the Council on Aging is a relatively new group of people of all ages who help the Council with advice and with needs not budgeted by the Council. This year the Friends held their first large fund raising event, a Yard Sale, and netted over $1500. At least 300 volunteer hours went into that day's sale, not counting the many hours donated by Mary McDonald, Chairman of the Friends, and her very able committee during the weeks preceding the sale. Telecare, a service which provides a daily phone call seven days a week to people living alone, reassures the seniors that someone will know if they are sick or have an accident. We do uncover emergencies and work with the police until the emergency is resolved. Volunteers are very keen to detect any change in the health, even that portrayed by the tone of voice. Some Goals Were Fulfilled or advanced since the previous annual report: 1) Congregate Meals, as noted above. 2) Progress Toward a Permanent Senior Center. A Senior Site Committee report in 1979 indicated that the Munroe School was a likely site. Cost estimates for that site were presented to the Selectmen in 1979 and 1980. In 1980 the Town Meeting voted further study of that site and other sites and mandated a survey of senior needs, desires, and opinions. Council on Aging 3) Continued Expansion of the CoA Committee Structure. As noted above, the Friends of the CoA has become a very effective support and input group for the CoA. A nutrition site committee has been formed. Further expansion of the committee structure is planned. New Aims. 1) Expand the nutrition program to meet the needs demonstrated by the initial CoA program in the first half of 1981. 2) Continue to develop the CoA committee structure Continue to work for: 3) A Senior Center 4) Federal, State and local support for CoA programs. Stretching the CoA Budget. The budget of the CoA in '80 -'81 was $34,425. up from $26,820 in '79 -'80 This was expended on a variety of items including salary for the Coordinator and Assistant Coordina- tor, rent, printing, office expenses, telephone, mini -bus and the Elder Chorus program. During the year the highly used Meals on Wheels program was put on a self - supporting basis. The CoA also used $2240 of its budget as Lexington's contribution to the Minuteman Home Care Corporation (MMHCC) which operates mainly on State Funds and supplies ser- vices to Lexington citizens valued at $21,875. This help assists seniors to remain in their own homes and represents a ten fold return on the CoA contribution. The CoA volunteers provide the spark of life to CoA services and provide the human contact and ser- vices which are the core of senior services. In addition, the 125 volunteers devote about 4264 hours and drive over 10,000 miles, greatly expanding the services CoA is able to supply. Including the monetary value of the time devoted by the volunteers and the services of the MMHCC, the CoA budget of $34,425 provides well over $100,000 in services to the seniors of Lexington. Lexington Youth Commission: Searching for Space The Lexington Youth Commission is one activity of town government which will not be greatly affected by the passage of Proposition 2 -1/2 as the Com- itission has no separate budget. Money is acquired through fund - raising events when it is needed to support activities such as the youth employment service. Our recent survey of junior and senior high school students has shown that there is strong interest in a youth center where young people can meet friends and participate in informal sports and games. We feel that Lexington has some facilities which might be adapted to provide greater services. The Youth Commission hopes to work with existing organizations to explore possibilities for pro- Lexington Youth Commission. seated: Jacqy Selway; Bronw Marcia Feakes,•Chairman; Pat Falconer; Mary Frances Ander Neal Moskow.

We recognize that no one place will satisfy the di- verse interests of young people in our town. Forrest Lindwall is the new chairman of the Youth Awards Sub - Committee. He succeeds Winston Flynn who has put the group on a firm footing in the past three years. The Commission works to help young people establish contacts with a variety of groups and activities in Lexington. Town government and the senior citi- zen dinners are two areas of interest this year. We are fortunate to have active and interested young members who help us in our efforts. 53 m O U Tr W 3 0 Officers and Committees Elected Town Officers Mary W.

Barclay Collector of Taxes Board of Retirement At the 1980 Annual Town Meeting, $852,432 was appropriated to the contributory retirement pension fund as the town's share of retirement allowances for the 1981 fiscal year and $5,425 was appropriated for the board's operating expenses. To fund the pension payments of the non - contributory members or their bene- ficiaries, $181,000 was appropriated. In a move to meet its future increasing retirement unfunded liabil- ity, the town appropriated $200,000. As of November 30, 1980 there were 240 contributory and 20 non - contributory retirees. The income from investments amounting to over $350,000 enabled us to credit interest to members' accounts at the rate of 6.7 percent. Town employees, through payroll deductions, contributed over $410,000 to the fund. During the twelve month period ending November 30, 1980, the assets of the retirement system increased over $695,000. A comparative balance sheet of the financial condition is submitted herewith.
