��For families and relatives, the period of time between a death and
the tlnal disposition is a period of considerable confusion.
Few people have ever had the personal experience to know exactly
what has to be done at a time like this. It is for this reason that your
funeral director stands willing to grant you all the necessary counsel
and guidance needed during the next few days.
It is his wish in presenting you with Guidelines that it might offer
some assistance during this period of uncertainty.
The purpose of this book is to provide informative guidelines and
basic factors to be considered in the making of funeral
arrangements. Expressed thoughts found in the succeeding pages
are derived from extensive physiological studies of grief therapy, and
are in no way meant to influence a family's personal request.

�THE FUNERAL,
AN E X P E R I E N C E OF V A L U E
No man is an island. His death touches and affects his world of
relatives, friends, and associates in a direct and forceful way. In
arranging a funeral it is well to consider the feelings of others who
shared in or benefited by the life of the deceased. For sorrow shared
is sorrow diminished.
The funeral is a ceremony of proven worth and value for those
who mourn. It provides an opportunity for the survivors and others
who share in the loss to express their love, respect, and grief. It
permits facing openly and realistically the crisis that death presents.
Through the funeral the bereaved take that firm first step toward
emotional adjustment to their loss.
A funeral is an unique event in the life of a family. No two are
exactly alike. It should also be remembered that the funeral of every
man, famous or unknown, rich or poor, can be equally important for
those bereaved he leaves behind.
The funeral is one of the few personal events and ceremonies to
which none is invited but to which all should be able to come. In a
very real way, the funeral not only recognizes that a death has occurred, but it also is testimony that a life has been lived.
T H E PRESENCE OF THE BODY
A funeral with the body present gives identity and purpose to the
service. With the body present, a climate for mourning exists which
makes the sharing of sorrow natural. Without the body, expression
of sympathy may be forced, empty and unnatural for many people
and makes the acceptance of death difficult for others.
The funeral is a rite of separation. It confirms the reality of death.
This, psychiatrists say, is a necessary beginning toward healthy
adjustment to loss.
There are some who want to deny that a person has died and that
such a person's life on earth has ended. The presence of the body in
the casket actualizes the fact of death. Viewing the body serves to
reverse the process of denial while it promotes the acceptance of
reality.
P U B L I C OR P R I V A T E F U N E R A L
A public funeral gives the community a chance to offer its support
and share the sorrow of the immediate family of the deceased. An
1
�outstanding pastoral psychologist has written that "the funeral and
the varied events that surround the ceremony are for those who live
on."
A private funeral limits those who may attend. It arbitrarily shuts
out relatives, friends, associates and acquaintances who sincerely
want to bring comfort to the bereaved.
C A L L I N G HOURS
Funeral practices vary. In some areas the greatest number of
people pay their respects to the deceased and to the survivors by
attending the funeral service. In other places, the largest number
call at the funeral home or at the mortuary while the body is lying in
state. Some do both.
Sometimes attendance at the actual funeral service is not possible
because of the hour or day when it is held, but many people will want
to pay their respects during the so-called visitation period which may
be referred to as, calling hours - visitation - a wake - or a shivah.
Having the body lying in state with members of the family present
encourages sharing the experience of death and mourning. It is
gratifying both to members of the family and to those who care
enough to call.
F L O W E R S AND O T H E R M E M O R I A L S
Many persons wish to express their sympathy by sending flowers
or some other memorial in addition to extending their condolences
in person. Others do this because they cannot be present at the
visitation or service.
Those who wish to demonstrate their feelings should be able to do
it in the way they prefer. Flowers, for example, have a message all
their own. They add beauty to the casket setting and to the funeral
service. It is considered proper for the family to suggest a certain
memorial, but it should not be done in such a manner that any other
form of expression is excluded.
EXAMPLES:
(Good) In remembrance of Mary Jones those that wish may make
contributions to the building fund of the John Doe Hospital.
(Poor) Please omit flowers
No flowers
Send no flowers

�CHILDREN ATTENDEVG T H E FUNERAL
Authorities agree that it is not only correct to permit a child to go
to a funeral but, from approximately the age of seven, the youngster
should be encouraged to attend. The child needs to participate with
his family in offering his last respects to the deceased as well as to
express in his own way love and devotion. To shut him out of this
experience is to deny him a significant and meaningful life experience that can have important consequences for his future
emotional development. If the child is unwilling, however, he should
not be forced to attend a funeral or made to feel guilty because he
"let the family down." In any event, children should not be spared
knowledge about death.
THE CERTIFICATE OF DEATH
Your funeral director has the responsibility of seeing to it that all
the required statisitical information about the deceased, as well as
the place of interment or cremation, is placed on the original certificate of death.
He then in turn refers this official document to the deceased's
attending physician for his certification.
This certificate now becomes a permanent record with the
registrar of vital statistics in the town, village, or city in which the
death occurred.
The registrar, for a nominal fee, will issue to you certified copies
of the original death certificate which you and-or your attorney will
need for the following estate settlement purposes:
1. Insurance claims of all kinds
2. Veterans Administration benefits
3. The sale or transfer of real property
4. The sale of transfer of stock and bond certificates
5. Banking transactions
6. Motor vehicle registration transfers
7. Others
INSURANCE
Sometimes the mere word "INSURANCE" can be looked upon as
being complicated, but the filing of an insurance death claim is a
relatively simple procedure. The following steps should be taken by
the beneficiary of a deceased's insurance policy:
1. Contact if at all possible the InsuranceCompany's local office or
3
�agent in your area. If you are successful, they will handle the death
claim for you. CAUTION: Do not surrender the insurance policy
without an authorized receipt.
2. If there is not a company office or agent in the area, this claim
may be processed by mail.
3. Write a letter to the home office of the insurance company whose
name appears on the face of the policy. State the name of the
deceased, the date of death, and the policy number of the insurance contract. C A U T I O N : Do not send the policy in to the
company.
4. Enclose with the above letter, one certified copy of the original
death certificate.
5. Within a two or three week period the named beneficiary should
receive the face amount of value of the insurance policy.
6. The next of kin of the deceased should always check all other
possibilities of insurance claims including unions, fraternal and
other organizations the deceased belonged to that may offer a
death benefit.
T H E L E G A L ASPECTS O F D E A T H
The earthly possessions, known as the estate of the deceased, must
be distributed after his death. Any assets that are left must be used
to pay any debts, and any balance left must be lawfully distributed
after payment of estate or death taxes. If the deceased owned or
operated a business, the business must be administered and
maintained in an orderly manner or must be liquidated.
In order to accomplish this process of distribution, legal
proceedings are necessary to decide how any property should be
distributed and who is to be in charge of this distribution. Because
of the technical nature of these proceedings and all the complications involved in settling the estate and distributing the assets,
it is advisable that a lawyer be consulted.
Some, not all, of the major matters to be considered are listed
below:
1. Did the deceased have any property? Is there any real estate,
stocks, bonds, bank accounts, personal items, or other types of
property? Is this property held in the name of the deceased, or is it
4
�held jointly with someone else?
2. Did the deceased leave a Will? Where is the Will located? What
are the provisions in the Will regarding the distribution of the
property? If there is not a Will, what is the state law regarding the
distribution of the property?
3. If there is a Will, who was appointed the Executor of the Estate?
If there is not a Will, how can proceedings be brought to appoint
an Administrator? If a court is to appoint an Administrator, who
is the court to appoint?
4. Are the assets of the deceased subject to any state or federal estate
or death taxes? If the assets of an estate are less than approximately
$127,000.00, or $250,000.00 if there is surviving spouse, the estate is
not generally subject to the federal estate tax, but smaller estates are
often subject to State death taxes (the law varies from state to state).
Is a certificate of payment of taxes necessary to clear the title of any
Real Estate?
5. Is the deceased the sole owner of an automobile or trailer, or is
the vehicle owned by the deceased and another person? Does this
vehicle become part of an estate?
6. Is the deceased a sole proprietor of a business, in a partnership
with another person, or a member of a corporation doing business
under an assumed name? What are the provisions of the partnership or corporation contract in the event of death of one of its
members?
There are many other considerations that often arise, but a
competent attorney should be able to advise of any matters not
discussed above.
BANKS-SAFE D E P O S I T B O X E S
Because all banks are subjected to state and federal statutes
governing their operations, it is very difficult to satisfactorily define
the banking rules and regulations in any one given area. General
banking law also undergoes constant change from time to time
which makes it impossible to pin point local procedure in the event
of death of an owner of an account or safe deposit box.
It is recommended that the bank that holds an account or safe
deposit box of the deceased be contacted directly to find out the
5
�necessary steps to take for the release of their contents. Although it
may not be absolutely necessary, generally the services of a competent attorney is desirable to handle these matters.
SELECTING A LAWYER
The basis for selecting a lawyer for legal guidance and professional
advice should be made on past experience or of a personal acquaintance
nature. He should be selected for reasons of trust, confidence, respect
and the ability to effectively settle an estate in a reasonable length of
time. In the event you do not have any previous experience with a
lawyer, a close friend, your employer or even your funeral director
will be able to recommend a competent attorney to you.
SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS
When a person who has worked under the social security law dies,
some member of his family should get in touch with the social security
office. If you cannot come to the social security office because you
are housebound or hospitalized, write or telephone and a social security
representative will arrange to visit you.
Long delay in filing an application can cause loss of some benefits,
since back payments for monthly cash benefits can not be made on a
retroactive basis. Cash benefits to survivors arefiguredfrom the amount
of retirement or disability benefit of the deceased.
In most cases a lump sum death benefit is paid to the dependent
of a worker under the social security program. An application for a
lump sum death payment must usually be made within 2 years of the
worker's death.
Monthly payments are also paid to dependents when a worker
dies. These dependents are:
1. Unmarried children under 18 or between 18 and 22 if they are
fulltime students.
2. Unmarried children 18 or over who were severely disabled before
they reached 18 and who continue to be disabled.
y
3. A widow, regardless of her age, if she is caring for a child under
18 or disabled and the child gets payments based on the worker's
record.
4. A widow 60 or older even if there are no children entitled to
6
�payments.
5. A widow 50 or older (or dependent widower 50 or older) who
becomes disabled not later than 7 years after the death of the
worker or, in the case of a widow, not later than 7 years after the
end of her entitlement to benefits as a widow with a child in her
care.
6. A dependent husband or widower 60 or over.
7. Dependent parents 62 or over after the worker dies.
8. Others: Social security benefits are subject to constant change.
For this reason, if any question of elegibility arises, contact the
social security office.

BENEFITS FOR SURVIVORS OF VETERANS
State veteran counselors and veteran service agency directors provide
specialized counseling on benefits available to the survivors of veterans
and servicemen, under the different programs established by local,
state, and federal laws.
Your funeral director may be able to offer guidance in making application for one or more of the following benefits:
BURIAL ALLOWANCE: An authorized federal government burial
allowance up to $300.00 is provided by the Veterans Administration to
the widow, children, parents, or any person who pays the funeral
expenses of an eligible war-time veteran, or certain peace-time veterans.
Claims must be filed within two years of permanent burial or cremation.
PLOT OR INTERMENT ALLOWANCE: Public Law 9343, enacted
June 18, 1973 provides for payment of an amount not exceeding $150
as a plot or interment allowance, in addition to the $300 basic (nonservice connected) burial allowance, only when the veteran is not
buried in a national cemetery or other cemetery under the jurisdiction
of the United States Government. Burial in a State, County or Municipally owned cemetery does not bar payment of the plot or interment
allowance. If the cost of the grave, mausoleum space, columbarium
niche or any other place of final disposition has not been paid, the plot
or interment allowance is applicable thereto up to $150.00. If the
amount unpaid is less than $150.00 then the balance between the unpaid amount and $150.00 can be applied to other funeral and burial
expenses, whatever they may be. If there are no unpaid plot, grave,
mausoleum, columbarium niche or other place of disposition expenses,
the entire $150.00 may be used for other expenses, including those relating to the funeral, cremation, interment receptacle, transporation
and the like.
IN SERVICE DEATH BENEFIT: Public Law 9343 also provides that
when a veteran's death is service connected, burial and funeral expenses
may be paid in an amount of $1,100.00 and is in lieu of the $300.00
basic burial allowance and the $150.00 plot interment allowance.
8
�TRANSPORTATION: Transportation costs, when payable, are in addition to the non-service and service connected benefits.
A BURIAL FLAG: This is available for draping the casket of a wartime veteran, a veteran discharged or released because of a service connected disability, or a veteran who has served at least one enlistment.
The flag is presented to the next of kin following burial.
BURIAL IN NATIONAL CEMETERIES: This is available to any veteran of a war-time or peace-time service whose last period of service
(other than for training) terminated honorably. Reservists who die
while performing active duty for training, an eligible veteran's wife,husband, widow, widower, minor children, and under certain conditions,
unmarried adult children are also eligible. U.S. citizens who served in
time of war in the Armed Forces of an Allied Government may also be
eligible. All expenses incident to the grave site and actual interment are
provided without charge. Application should be made at the time of
the veteran's death.
HEADSTONE OR MARBLER: The government will furnish, free of cost
a headstone, or marker to be placed at the unmarked grave of a member
of the Armed Forces of the United States or the Confederate States of
America who died in service or whose last discharge was honorable. The
next of kin has a choice of four different markers or headstones at the
time application is made. Upon application, a monetary reimbursement
is now available to families wishing to purchase a monument or marker
other than the one provided by the Veterans Administration.
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT L I F E INSURANCE: It should be
determined first if the veteran carried this insurance as a result of an
option after leaving actve duty. Application and information for filing
claims for U.S. Government life Insurance should be obtained from
the nearest Veterans Administration office. Forms may also be obtained by writing to the Veterans Administration, Washington, D.C.
20420.
DEATH PENSION: A (Non-Service-Connected Death) pension is payable to eligible unremarried wodows and minor children of deceased
war-time veterans, depending upon their income and, in some instances,

permanently incapable of self-support due to physical or mental
disability.
D E A T H G R A T U I T Y : (Six Month's Pay of Deceased) is payable to a
deceasedveteran's spouse or children (parents, brothers, or sisters, if

GUIDELINES FOR SELECTING A C E M E T E R Y PLOT
In the brief period between death and burial, cemetery plots and
graves are sometimes purchased by a family without careful thought
and often without a personal visit to the cemetery and later found to
be inadequate or undesirable.
Quite often persons buying cemetery plots in haste will not buy
enough graves, or they will purchase many more than the family will
ever utilize in future years. To avoid mistakes and to meet the
present and future needs of your family, the utmost consideration
should be given this decision.
When purchasing a cemetery plot, one should ascertain whether
the cemetery meets the requirement of the family's religion.
One should also determine just what restrictions, if any, the
cemetery might enforce in regard to the kind of outside burial vault
to be used and the type of monument or memorial to be erected.
Buying a cemetery plot for investment purposes is considered an
unwise practice. The majority of cemeteries retain the right to
repurchase a plot at the original price. For this reason, even though
the lot may have increased in value, there is rarely a profit realized
by the purchaser.
MONUMENTS OR M E M O R U L S
Within a very short time from now, you will be called upon by one
or more retail monument dealers, suggesting that you purchase a
memorial from them.
One should take particular care during this after period of
emotional strain to avoid the hasty purchase of memorials that are
of questionable quaHty or are priced beyond their means.
To give all cemetery plot owners general protection, most
cemeteries retain the right to approve the type of memorial to be
placed on a grave site. Some cemeteries have restrictions on size and
design of memorials, while others require that only a flush-with-theground bronze plaque be placed.
After determining if any cemetery restrictions prevail and
deciding just what your individual needs and desires are, H reputable
retail monument dealer should be contacted.
The quality, material, design, and craftsmanship of a memorial
11
�you are going to have erected permanently deserves very careful consideration.
WHAT DO FUNERALS COST?
In the realm of everyday living, you are constantly confronted with
the age-old question: HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? This holds true
whether you are purchasing an automobile, a house, a boat, television
set, or even something as small as a loaf of bread. You should likewise
be concerned with the question of cost in making funeral arrangements.
Funeral costs are no secret, but often are misleading by not being fully
explained at a time when it is difficult for families to understand.
Whether a funeral home uses a system of charging one price for the
complete funeral based on the casket selected, or they itemize their
charges individually, there are four basic factors that constitute the cost
of funerals. These are merchandise, professional services, use of funeral
home facihties, and cash expenditures.
MERCHANDISE: Merchandise may include such items as the casket
selected, the outside burial case or urn, clothing provided by the funeral
home, and memorial folders and-or acknowledgment cards.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES: Professional services are the personal
services of your funeral director, and the arrangements and supervision
conducted by himself and his staff of personnel.
USE OF FUNERAL HOME FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT: There
is a vast amount of cost involved on the part of your funeral director
in providing and maintaining a funeral home facOity capable of
satisfying the requirements of each and every family he serves. It is for
this reason the Funeral Home Facilities and Equipment category is
a pertinent factor in the cost of a funeral.
CASH EXPENDITURES: Cash expenditures that are occasionally
advanced to the family as a courtesy of the funeral home may include cemetery and crematory charges, clergy honorariums, church
offerings, limousines, flower cars, newspaper notices, certified death
transcripts, flowers, professional pallbearers, gratuities, etc. In certain
instances a state law or local policy may prohibit a funeral home from
extending a family cash advances.
In determining funeral expenses, consideration should be given to
12
�the assets of the deceased. Insurance, veteran benefits, social
security, and other resources is the basis for a family's ability to take
financial responsiblity for a funeral of a loved one.
QUESTIONS MOST F R E Q U E N T L Y A S K E D
ABOUT CREMATION
Q. Do we need a casket for a cremation service?
A. Since a cremation funeral service is the same as any other, the
casket is used in the same manner and for the same purpose. For
health and esthetic reasons, most crematoriums require that a
casket or some form of combustible container be used.
Q. Is a funeral director necessary?
A. His services are exactly the same as for other forms of care, and
his services are needed for the first call, embalming, casket
selection and conducting of the service.
Q. What authorization is required for cremation?
A. Specific requirements vary with the different states, but as a
general rule written instructions from the family and a permit
from the local health authorities are required for the protection of
the family, the crematorium and the public.
Q. What are cremated remains or cremains?
A. They are recognizable skeletal fragments of the human form
which weight from 6 to 12 pounds for adults, depending upon the
size of the individual. On the average they occupy about 175 cubic
inches of space. They are not "ashes" or "dust".
Cremation is not disposition; it is only a method for preparing the
remains for memorialization. They are still human remains, and
should be placed in a dedicated place such as a columbarium,
mausoleum, family plot in a cemetery or other places where they
will receive continuing care. In rare instances a deceased will
request that his cremains be strewn over a designated area. This
practice is by far not the most common, but is permitted by law in
some areas of the country.
13
�W H E N D E A T H OCCURS F A R AWAY
Because of temporary employment transfers, vacations, etc., a
death occasionally will take place far away from the deceased's
home. The distance factor automatically necessitates your home
town funeral director to call upon the professional services of an
associate at the place of death. He will direct the person called to
prepare the deceased for transfer, file all required permits and
authorizations, and make the necessary arrangements to have the
deceased transported home by funeral coach, airplane, or train
depending on the distance involved and the most effective mode of
transportation available. These additional services will be
reflected somewhat in the total funeral statement a next of kin will
receive at a later date.

�E T I Q U E T T E QF A C K N O W L E D G M E N T
We hope the following suggestions will prove helpful in
acknowledging the various expressions of sympathy you receive
during your bereavement.
The acknowledgments you receive from your funeral director
should be sent within ten days or two weeks after the funeral. In
order to give your expression of gratitude a more personal touch, a
few words may be written on the inside of these Acknowledgments.
This tends to make the recipient feel that one's thanks are as personal as if they had been expressed verbally.
C L E R G Y - Send a personal note (not a printed Acknowledgment)
thanking him for his consolation. If an offering is sent it should be
sent separately from the note.
E X A M P L E : Dear Mr. Smith or Dear Father Smith (not Dear
Reverend or Dear Rev. Smith). My husband and I wish to thank
you for the consolation you gave us during our most trying times.
Your comforting words during the funeral service will help us
tremendously.
B E A R E R S - (including honorary but not professional). Include a
message of thanks for their time and services in the
Acknowledgment.
E X A M P L E : Thank you for your kindness in acting as a pallbearer
for Father. Being one of Dad's closest friends made this very
meaningful to us.
L E T T E R S - - Replies may be brief, and written on an
Acknowledgment. At a later date you may feel more like writing a
longer note to particular persons sending letters.
E X A M P L E : Thank you for your kind words of sympathy. It is so
nice to have friends like you.
T E L E G R A M S - A few words on an Acknowledgment if you wish
is sufficient.
E X A M P L E : Your telegram was most appreciated.
F L O W E R S - A personal message may be written on the
Acknowledgment if you wish.
E X A M P L E : The vase of Roses you sent for Dad was beautiful.
M E M O R I A L S - Treat the same as flowers.
E X A M P L E : The contribution you made to the community hospital
in Dad's memory was greatly appreciated.
29
�SYMPATHY CARDS - If there is a personal message on the card and
you feel you should answer it, you may do so on an Acknowledgment.
It is not necessary to acknowledge a plain sympathy card.
E X A M P L E : Your comforting words during this time were most
helpful.
E X P R E S S I O N S O F S Y M P A T H Y F R O M AN ORGANIZATION
- Send an Acknowledgment to the President or Secretary of the
organization and include in the message reference to the other
members.
E X A M P L E : Dear President Jim: The vase of Red Roses sent for
Dad by the members of the Nowhere Rotary Club was greatly
appreciated.
E X P R E S S I O N S O F S Y M P A T H Y F R O M AN UNORGANIZED
G R O U P - When a group of neighbors, employees, etc., send an
expression of sympathy, send an Acknowledgment to everyone listed
on the card.
F R I E N D S WHO V O L U N T E E R E D S E R V I C E S , CARS, OR
SENT F O O D - A personal note on an Acknowledgment is
satisfactory.
The following are suggestions of classifiednewspaper-typethankyous oftentimes used in addition to regular Acknowledgments.
C A R D O F THANKS
The family of Charles M. Smith wish to thank their relatives,
friends, and neighbors for their kindness during their recent
bereavement.
C A R D O F THANKS
The kindness and sympathy shown to us by our family and friends
during this time of sorrow will always be remembered by the family
of John J. Doe.
C A R D O F THANKS
I wish to express my sincere thanks to all my relatives, friends,
and neighbors for all their kindness and sympathy during the illness
and death of my beloved husband John Doe. Special thanks to Rev.
John Smith and the Nowhere Funeral Home.
Mrs. John Doe

�C A R D OF THANKS
We wish to express our deepest gratitude to all our friends and

��" G o placidly amid the noise and haste and remember
what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible
w i t h o u t surrender be on good terms w i t h all persons.
Speak y o u r t r u t h q u i e t l y and clearly; and listen to others,
even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
A v o i d loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the
s p i r i t . If y o u compare yourself w i t h others, you'" may
become vain and bitter; for always there w i l l be greater
and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy y o u r achievements as well as. y o u r plans. Keep interested in your o w n
career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of t i m e . Exercise caution in your business
affairs for the w o r l d is f u l l of t r i c k e r y . But let this not
blind y o u t o what virtue there is; many persons strive
for high ideals, and everywhere life is f u l l of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign a f f e c t i o n . Neither be
cynical about love; for in the face of all a r i d i t y and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take k i n d l y
the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the
things of y o u t h . Nurture strength of spirit to shield y o u
in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself w i t h
imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle w i t h yourself.
Y o u are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and
the stars; y o u have a right to be here. A n d whether or not it
is clear to y o u , no d o u b t the universe is unfolding as it
should. Therefore be at peace w i t h G o d , whatever y o u
conceive h i m to be, and whatever your labors and
aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace w i t h
your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful w o r l d . Be careful. Strive to be h a p p y " .

Ned Parker Cottage Register Booklet Covering 1893 -1930
Description
An account of the resource
A typed copy of the seventy-four page Ned Parker Pine Bluff Cottage register booklet, typed at the hand of Ned Parker. The register covers a period of 1893 -1930. Included are photos and comments that may not have been in the original record.
The register contains weather notations, musing on local happenings, details of visits from locals and people from afar, building updates and repairs, remembrances of celebrations, and accounts of day to day tasks and meals. It reads as a who is who of the Farmington, NH community during the four decades it covers.
The cottage was in Alton Bay, Lake Winnipesaukee formerly owned by S.S. Parker of Farmington and S.P. Nute
Please note the first file is a photo of the cover, the second is an encapsulated Zip file with an EXE that will open an interactive flip book of the yearbook upon download, and the last file is a PDF version. The best version to view is the EXE Flipbook of the yearbook, but you will need to download, unzip, and execute the flip-book file.

For a l l his patience, understanding, help,

happy t i m e s with h i m , we wish to show our
great appreciation by dedicating this yearbook
to M r . R . Marston E r w i n .
For a l l her long nights after school trying
to meet deadlines to create a great yearbook,
keep the S e n i o r c l a s s i n l i n e , and always
keeping her spirits up when things were down,
we wish to show our appreciation by also dedicating this yearbook to Mrs. Barbara Robidoux.

���C L A S S PROPHECY
Hi!
" I t ' s m e , the B l i p , returned to Farmington High School for the
Class of '73's reunion after 25 years. I t ' s great to see a l l my classmates a g a i n ! I ' v e seen a few since graduation. Let me f i l l you i n
on what some are doing n o w . "
" K a t h y Comeau now manages the new race track i n town. Those old Pintos really
roar down that t r a c k ! J i m and Joe DePrizio have gone into the car business. T h e y buy
and sell cars faster than the human eye can see. Why I visited them last week and
when I left I had bought a c a r , not realizing they had sold it to m e . Oh y e s ! Wendall
Brown is a w e l l known A c e Mechanic i n Middleton.
Here comes Marie Gagnon with her new husband. Marie found him at the hospital
while she was working as a R . N . Marie is now talking to Robin Lepene, another nurse,
about the working conditions. Shirley Greeley just interrupted them to show them her
Masters Degree from her sixth c o l l e g e .
J a m i e Meyer, Kathy Brazis and Sheila G r e e l e y , a l l of whom are happily married,
are practicmg old cheers to bring back old memories. Sitting at a table nearby, G a i l
Goslin and G a i l Kidder are discussing something intently. Both are happy moms! I
think they are talking about Sharon Nelson, for she was not able to attend the reunion.
She is recuperating after her 100th accident i n 25 years. T w o other people were unable
to attend: Nancy Sprague and K a r e n H i l l . Nancy had to stay home and take care of
her sick daughter. I t seems K a r e n has her big art show i n New Y o r k C i t y today. She's
earning lots of money from her paintings.
T h e r e is a minor disturbance i n the corner. Fern T a r m e y and Beverly Lord are meeting again for the first t i m e i n years. I think that's General Wilfred Schulte walking

I n the following pages w e w i l l outline briefly the
various departments o f the institution.
y
I n presenting you w i t h this little booklet; it is our
y
desire to bring to your attention the facilities w h i c h w e n o w
y
have available for the handling o f your business.
H
^
^
I t is our aim to meet the needs o f the community
w h i c h w e serve and i n order that w e might render better
service than has been possible in the past w e have equipped
this building w i t h all that goes toward the safeguarding o f
your interests.
W e believe i n the future o f Farmington.
W e believe in its industries and i n its citizens and so far as
is possible w e desire to be o f assistance in making this community a better place to live i n i n the years to come.
W e want you to feel that this Bank is more than is
represented by bricks and mortar and by its steel vault
doors and polished w o o d w o r k .
W e want you to feel that
within this institution are men and women w h o are here
for the purpose o f serving you and that it is your privilege
to consult w i t h its officers at any time.
COMMERCIAL DEPAETMENT
H a v e you ever considered the advantages o f a checking account.? I n this department are handled all accounts
of corporations and individuals who have formed the practice o f making all payments by check.
O n the first o f
every month your bills come i n from the grocer, plumber,
doctor and tax collector.
I f you have a fair balance in
the form o f a checking-account, h o w easy it is to write
out your check in payment of the b i l l . Furthermore w i t h
the return o f your check properly indorsed, you have
the acknowledgment o f the indorser that such an amount has been paid by y o u . A cancelled check is an
excellent receipt.
I f you live out-of-town and in a c o m .
munity w h i c h is not served by a banking institution, w e
invite you to open an account and do your banking by
mail. M a n y o f our customers find it inconvenient to come
to the Bank during banking hours, but the mailing o f their
deposit brings a prompt acknowledgment from us and
w i t h the allowing o f time for the collection o f funds, they
are then in a position to draw against the deposit.
E v e r y facility that modern banking methods can give
is n o w at your command.
I f you have been doing your
business here in the past, w e feel very sure that you w i l l
greatly appreciate the n e w quarters and the accomodations
n o w provided.
I f your banking business has been carried
on elsewhere, w e invite you to discuss w i t h our oflicers
the advantages o f a connection w i t h this institution.
SAFE DEPOSIT DEPAETMENT
H o w many o f you realize the advantages of a Safe
Deposit Box.? Into these boxes go your insurance papers,
bonds, certificates of stock and many other papers o f value,
the loss o f w h i c h w o u l d bring to you no end of inconvenience and trouble.
�V o u w i l l be appreciative of the private coupon-booths
w h i c h w e have provided for our safe-deposit box owners.
T h e renter o f a box is given t w o keys and no one
other than the renter (except as they m a y appoint a depu t y ) has access to the box.
O u r boxes rent from three dollars to seven dollars and
fifty cents per a n n u m .
W i t h the increasing demand for
this protection, w e have added one hundred boxes.
The
vault in w h i c h your box is kept is of modern construction
and is guarded by electrical devices w h i c h assure the
owner o f the m a x i m u m amount o f protection.
Saving is
accustomed to
we k n o w that
w a y in w h i c h
largely a matter of habit, and i f vou become
setting aside a certain part of your earnings,
yo u w i l l be most pleasantly surprised at the
your balance increases.
FOREIGN DEPARTMENT
O u r main vault has been considerably enlarged d u r i n g
the n e w construction and provides storage space for silverware and other valuable property at a very moderate charge.
T h r o u g h our connection w i t h the First N a t i o n a l Bank
of Boston, we are able to be o f assistance to our clients w h o
desire to send mone\ to relatives and friends in foreign
countries. I f you desire to make remittance to any of the
principal cities or towns in F r a n c e , G e r m a n y , I t a l y , S w e den or any other country, we cordially invite you to allow
us to make arrangements for y o u .
W i t h the opening o f our n e w quarters, w e take pleasure in announcing the opening o f a Savings Dep a rtment of
the National Bank.
O n e of the safest w a y s of carrying funds w h i l e travelling, is through T r a v e l l e r ' s Cheques.
W e can supply
these in denominations of $10,
$20, $ 5 0 , and $100.
at
a very small cost.
I f you are planning a trip abroad, w e
recommend that you allow us to secure a Letter of C r e d i t
to be used along w i t h your T r a v e l l e r ' s Cheques.
T h e advantages o f a Savings account are w e l l k n o w n
to many of our customers, but we w i s h at this time to recommend to any w h o are not i n the habit o f systematically
saving, that they set aside a small amount to be deposited
in the Savings Department.
A m i n i m u m deposit of O n e D o l l a r w i l l be accepted
in opening an account and a deposit book w i l l be issued
in your name. Deposits may be made w e e k l y or m o n t h l y ,
at such time as is most convenient for y o u , and the interest
on your balance w i l l be added to your book at least once
a year.
T h e s e matters can be handled on v e ry short notice,
and it w i l l be our pleasure to serve you at any time.
CHRISTMAS CLUB
T h e Christmas C l u b Plan is many years old in the
banking w o r l d , and w e are making our start this year as
w e go into our n e w home. Several accounts have alreadybeen opened under this p l a n , and we cordially invite y ou
to come in and talk it over.
�A small saving by a weekly deposit throughout the
year provides you w i t h a substantial lump sum for your
Christmas shopping, and very considerably eases the financial burden w h i c h falls on most of us at just this time of year.
W e believe that i f you once try the p l a n , you w i l l
be greatly pleased.
STOCKS AND BONDS
W e cordially invite you to make use of our facilities
for the execution o f your orders w h e n b u y i n g or selling
stocks or bonds.
W e have good connections for the execution of orders and believe that we can be of assistance
to you along this line.
I t is not our policy to make recommendation of any
one issue for investment, but rather to safeguard your proposed investment, through investigation.

Description
An account of the resource
A short, multi-page Farmington NH National Bank booklet for information and marketing purposes. The booklet starts with a drawing of the bank. Next the booklet has a list of officers, directors, and cashiers. The following page offers an early history.<br /><br /><br />The early history reads:<br /><br /><em>EARLY HISTORY THE FARMINGTON NATIONAL BANK is the out growth of a State Bank which was organized some time previous to January 1, 1855, such records as are available not giving us the exact date. Over three-quarters of a century have elapsed since that time and volumes might be written on the changes which have taken place in the Town and also in methods of banking. We find that back in April and May of the year 1872, Citizens' Meetings were held to give consideration to the organizing of a National Bank. As a result of these meet- ings, G. W. Herring and Charles W. Thurston proceeded to Washington for the purpose of obtaining permission to organize, and this authority was given under date of May 15, 1872. Under date of June 3, 1872, Articles of Association were adopted, and a Board of nine Directors elected. The following men were elected to the Board: G. W. Herring, John H. Barker, Alonzo Nute, Charles Talpey,]. F. Cloutman,H. B. Edgerly, C. W. Thurston, Martin L. Hayes and Edwin Wallace. The Directors then chose the following officers: G.W. Herring, President, J. F. Cloutman, Vice-President, and Thomas F. Cooke, Cashier. The certificate of organization was sworn to before Daniel W. Edgerly, Notary Public, under date of July 19, 1872, and sent to Washington upon receipt of which a Charter was granted by Honorable John Jay Knox, Comp- troller of the Currency, under date of July 27, 1872. <br /><br /></em>The booklet continues with photos of of the old bank and the new bank buildings<em>. </em>It offers a short service statement and then outlines each department, for a total of six departemnts.<em> the booklet concludes with full page photos of the bank president, vice president, cashier, and director.<br /><br /></em>This item was found in a School Street property.<em><br /><br />Size: 5"x 6.75"<br /></em><br />Condition: The booklet shows some signs of minor wear and tear and does have a triangular tear at the bottom near the center of the booklet.<em><br /><br /><br /></em>FHS-Kyle Leach

�This 2020 Town Report is dedicated to
Ronald R. Chagnon
Ronald R. Chagnon was born in Farmington August 1, 1938 and passed away October 25, 2020 in
his Farmington home of 60 years. He went to school, worked, attended church, volunteered and
served on numerous boards and committees all in his hometown of Farmington. You can’t get any
more deeply-rooted than that.
After graduating Farmington High class of 1956, Ron joined the United States Army and proudly
served his country until his honorable discharge in 1964. He worked in local shoe shops and was
Postmaster at the Farmington Post Office. He was employed as a lineman for the former New
England Telephone Company until he retired in1993.
He married the love of his life, Lorraine, and they adopted two children Joel and Lori. As a family
they enjoyed the camp they built in Shapleigh Maine. Sadly, Loraine passed away in 2010 after 49
years of marriage.
Service defined Ron’s life. He volunteered for many causes, including coaching CYO Basketball,
volunteer fire fighting, and lengthy service to the local 500 Club who inducted him into the
Farmington Sports Hall of Fame in 2010. Ron was honored by the Tri-Town Democrats in 2014
recognizing his public service to Farmington and surrounding areas which spanned five decades.
He held various State elected positions including the New Hampshire Legislature. In Town he was
elected to the Board of Selectmen, the Budget Committee and the School Board.
As a lifetime member of the St Peters Parish, he was an altar boy, a lector, an usher and finally the
Grand Knight of St Peters Knights of Columbus Council. At the Farmington Country Club he was
a shareholder and served on the Board of Directors and was two-time Club Champion. Ron also
served many years on the Pine Grove Cemetery Board of Trustees.
While his loss leaves a great void in this community, the contributions that he made during his
lifetime to the Town and State leave a legacy few can match.
�In Memory of David Vachon
June 7, 1947 - October 6, 2020
David Vachon was a lifelong resident of Farmington. He graduated from Farmington High School and that
was the beginning of a lifetime of volunteering. He Joined the United States Navy and then transferred to
the United States Army Reserves as a cook where he served a total of 18 years. During that time, he
volunteered to help local schools with fundraisers.
Dave's selflessness didn't end there, it was just the beginning. He began volunteering with the 500 Boys
Club In the early 1970's. With the help of his wife Gloria, they started the Youth Softball Program for girls
in Farmington. To their surprise over 100 girls showed up for the first sign ups. They had 6 teams that
season. Dave and Gloria ran the league for several years. In the mid 1970's Dave coached youth baseball
with his brother-in-law Paul Moulton for 10 years at the 500 Boys Club. In the early 1970's Dave would
stand downtown in front of Ruffus's Barber Shop selling raffle tickets to support the club.
In 1980 Dave joined the Farmington Volunteer Fire Department and served as a Firefighter for almost 18
years. He was best known for his time in the kitchen while on the Fire Dept. He and Byron Sprague were
responsible for almost all of the cooking that took place in that kitchen. Ham and bean suppah's, firemen
appreciation dinners, fire warden dinners and even in the department’s booth at Haydays. During that time
Dave took over the concession stand for the 500 Boys Club. He could be found behind the grill flipping
burgers and cooking french-fries all spring long.
In the early 1990's Dave took over the Farmington High School Booster Club, where he served as the
President for 12 years. Around this time, he ran for an open seat on the Farmington School Board. He won
and served on the board for almost a decade. Dave volunteered every Easter Sunday for decades at his
church cooking breakfast for members of his fellowship who would brave the cold sunrise services.
Dave managed to donate so much of his time all while working for General Electric where he retired after
almost 30 years and then worked another 10 years at the Alton Central School where he was the baker.
One thing is for sure, Dave loved his community and spent almost four decades generously giving his time
to numerous organizations. Anyone who may have bumped into Dave while he was involved in any of his
volunteer work would have found him laughing, joking and smiling the whole time. Dave gave his all to
the community he loved and his contributions will be forever be remembered.
�Board of Selectmen Chairman’s Report 2020
Neil Johnson, Dave Connolly, Gerry Vachon, Paula Proulx, TJ Place
Covid 19… need I say more? Everyone, one way or another, has been affected by this virus. The
Town is no exception. Do not get me wrong, we were able to maintain all essential services and
it was business as usual, but it was not easy. An extremely big “thank you” goes out to our police
officers, fire department and emergency medical individuals who have helped guide us through
this exceptionally trying time. They were the people out there on the front lines responding to
calls when nobody knew what this virus was or how bad it would turn out to be. I would, also,
like to thank all our department heads and office staff for keeping the internal workings of our
Town moving forward day to day.
Highlights…
Bridge issues. Right before Town Meeting last year, the Town received a report from the New
Hampshire Department of Transportation requiring that the Hornetown Road Bridge weight
requirement be down posted from 15 tons to 6 tons. At Town Meeting, the Town voted to replace
that bridge with a temporary bridge that should last up to fifteen years. The bridge work was done
on time and a little under budget. In anticipation of replacement, there is a request on this year’s
warrant to put money away for an opportunity to participate in a state funded grant through the
State’s Bridge Aid Program.
The River Road bridge remains closed for now. In this year’s budget, the Board of Selectmen
have included money to contract an engineering firm, Hoyle-Tanner, to review all our “red listed”
bridges. This analysis will provide us with recommendations for repairs or replacement costs for
these bridges.
�Board of Selectmen Chairman’s Report 2020
Levee. The Town received the Cocheco River Levee Inspection report. Although the Town is
still approved and certified by the Army Corp of Engineers, FEMA decided to do their own
analysis. FEMA generated a Levee Analysis and Mapping Procedure (LAMP) Report. FEMA will
analyze the levee and will decide whether or not they will change Farmington’s flood maps. This
analysis could affect properties in relation to the levee and beyond. Property owners affected by
this change would be required to purchase flood insurance where flood insurance is not required
today. The Town is actively pursuing action criteria laid out by FEMA to lessen this impact.
Well #4. The Board of Selectmen is still pursuing opportunities for grants and funding for the
replacement of Well #4. Well #4 is still being used when necessary for emergency purposes as
discoloration remains an issue. The Board applied to the New Hampshire Department of
Environmental Services for funding through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund but
received notification that we were denied. The Board continues to work with the engineers for
future funding sources and a remedy.
Recreation Department. As some folks may have noticed, as a result of the Covid virus, the
recreation department has been closed. The Board took the opportunity to meet with
representatives from the UNH Department of Recreation Management and Policy to discuss the
possibilities of a program review and a needs assessment study. With the program down, it was
the perfect time to address recommendations as to how we can improve the department and
determine activities that would derive more participation and benefit to the people of Farmington.
The report is in and the Board will be reviewing the results
Transfer Station. Transfer Station fees were addressed and recycling opportunities were
reviewed. This, unfortunately, resulted with some of the items being eliminated from the recycling
program. The Town has been able to keep some aspects of the program and we are pursuing ways
to continue to recycle all we can that is environmentally and fiscally responsible. This will be a
moving target, but we are committed to recycle everything that we can.
Revenue shortfall. While preparing the budget this year, the Board realized that there could be a
potentially significant revenue shortfall. Even though the budget was constructed with an
approximate $85,000.00 decrease under last year’s budget the tax impact is still up more than usual
due to the potential revenue shortfall. Hopefully, revenue shortfalls will be minimized and it will
reflect more favorably at year’s end.
Thank you. Thank you to all who participated on volunteer boards and committees. It has been
an exceptional year with the Covid virus out there and yet Town business never suffered. Thank
you to all involved who helped put together a budget that could cover services with minimal losses.
Thank you to the folks of Farmington for continuing to make this a great place to live. Stay well.
Respectfully submitted
Paula M. Proulx, Chairman
�Town Administrator’s Report 2020
2020 was a very unique year with challenges ranging from bridge issues to the pandemic. Early in
2020, we were notified by the State of New Hampshire that two of our bridges (Hornetown Rd
and River Rd) were immediately being downgraded due to structural issues. The weight limits on
these bridges were drastically reduced, resulting in both bridges being unable to handle loads
greater than that of passenger vehicles.
The decision was made to close the River Rd bridge, and to concentrate on resolving the
Hornetown Rd bridge restrictions. Using existing funds, as well as some innovative solutions we
were able to replace the bridge with a temporary structure, eliminating the weight restrictions put
in place by the NH Department of Transportation. All this was accomplished without having to
raise any taxes or incur any additional funding expenses.
Planning for the replacement of the Hornetown Rd temporary bridge with a permanent solution
will be undertaken in 2021. We have hired an engineering firm to assist in developing a plan for
addressing the River Rd bridge closure as well as developing a schedule to resolve any other bridge
issues within the town.
Shortly after our 2020 Town Meeting, the onslaught brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic began
to affect Town operations. It was necessary for the Town to implement appointment-only based
services, eliminating our long-standing ability to serve people on a walk-in basis. We also
implemented a number of online solutions in an attempt to reduce the impact and inconvenience
of the appointment-only services. Feedback from both staff and residents has been positive, and
we thank all involved for their understanding in dealing with these difficult times.
I want to thank all of our Town employees for their flexibility in overcoming the challenges posed
this year, as well as their innovation in developing solutions that have helped to mitigate the impact
to our residents. Finally, I’d like to thank the residents of Farmington for their suggestions, help,
patience and cooperation during the year, and hope that 2021 will be better for all.
Respectfully submitted,
Arthur Capello, Town Administrator

�Assessing Department Report 2020
The Assessing Office is responsible for ensuring equitable assessments, which distribute the
Town’s tax burden in accordance with New Hampshire statutes. Assessments are based on the
fair market value of property, and are applied in a fair, equitable, and consistent manner. The
Town of Farmington contracts Avitar Associates of Chichester, NH to provide assessing
services, and administrative duties are performed by the assessing clerk who is a Town
employee.
In 2019, a Town-Wide Statistical Update was completed, and all property values in the Town of
Farmington were updated to current market values. All property owners were sent a preliminary
notice of their new value in July and had the opportunity to make an appointment with the
Assessor to discuss their assessment, either in person or by phone. If you would like more
detailed information regarding the 2019 Revaluation, you can find it on the Assessing
Department Page on the Town’s Website, under “2019 Revaluation”. The next Town-Wide
Revaluation will be completed in 2024.
Abatements: If you disagree with your property’s assessed value, you may file an Abatement
Application after the final notice of tax (2nd bill in December) and prior to March 1st.
Credits and Exemptions are processed in the Assessing Department. The deadlines and basic
criteria are as follows:
Veteran’s Credit: Must meet applicable dates of service, have been
honorably discharged & a NH resident for one year prior to application. Requires DD214.
Application deadline: April 15th.
Elderly Exemption: Must be 65 years of age prior to April 1st & a NH resident for at least three
years. Must meet income and asset limits. Single applicants cannot have more than $30,000 in
gross income; married applicants cannot have more than $50,000 in gross income. Applicants
may not have more than $75,000 in assets. Application deadline: April 15th
Other Exemptions: The Town of Farmington also has an exemption for the Blind, as well as
an exemption for Solar and Wood-heating systems. Contact the office for more information.
New in 2019, the Town of Farmington voted at Town Meeting to increase the exemption for
Solar Energy Systems to 100% of their assessed value. This exemption is not automatic – you
must make an application to the Town prior to April 15th to receive this exemption.
Current Use Program. The NH Current Use Program went into effect in 1973. The Town of
Farmington has over 250 properties enrolled in this program. Under Current Use, the land is
assessed at its present use rather than its highest potential use, enabling landowners to keep their
open space lands undeveloped. When land comes out of Current Use, a penalty is imposed. At
this time, 100% of the Current Use penalties collected go to the Conservation Commission.
If you have any questions about the Current Use program, please contact this office. Application
deadline: April 15th.

�Conservation Commission Report 2020
The purpose of the Farmington Conservation Commission is to protect and promote the Town’s natural
resources and to protect the watershed resources of the Town, while fulfilling the mandates of RSA 36-A.
2020 was a very calm year for the Conservation Commission- Covid 19 slowed everything down
almost to a standstill, allowing the commission time to regroup and plan for 2021, when we are
hoping that we will be able to engage in, as well as host, community activities
Barry 4-H Camp was cancelled, so our 2020 camper was not able to attend this year. We will be
sending the same camper in 2021, and are very excited to be sponsoring him.
As we begin 2021, we are hoping to build up our volunteers for Spring and Fall Cleanups, as well as
Trail Maintenance volunteers for our conservation properties- French Conservation Area on
Hornetown Road, the Town Forest on Bay Road, as well as the McCarthy Trail by the Safety
Complex on Main Street. We were very happy to see that all of the trails saw a lot of use this year
as people spent a lot of time outdoors. And once again, we were encouraged to see that the
properties were not left littered with trash.
We are planning on being able to host forums again this year, with possible topics of beekeeping,
best management practices for forests, and invasive plants and insects affecting our area.
2021 is here- we are always looking for new members. We can add two alternate members, as well
as two students, to our commission, and would really enjoy the added input to our meetings and
activities.
The Conservation Commission meets in the Town Hall at 6:00 pm on the second Wednesday of
each month, with the exception of March. New members (including students!), or alternates, are
always welcome.

Just like the rest of the world, the year 2020 brought on some unexpected and unique challenges to not only
the community but also how we operate as a department. We were able to adapt to new policies and procedures
and acquire the proper equipment and supplies to ensure our first responders are adequately protected. I am
proud to say that because of the changes we implemented there was no impact in our ability to serve the
residents of Farmington.
The members of the Farmington Fire & Rescue Department continue to be dedicated professionals that serve
the residents and visitors of Farmington. With their dedication, we responded to 1265 calls for service in 2020,
of those calls 910 were EMS related and the remaining 355 were fire related. The dedication from all of the
fire department members resulted in a combined 30,206 hours worked and training hours. The income from
our ambulance billing netted the town $207,750.38 in total revenue.
Over the past year, the department has conducted life safety inspections in 111 different buildings; this includes
331 individual units, 15 oil burner inspections and 4 residential foster care inspections. We issued 649 seasonal
campfire and brush permits throughout the calendar year. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing pandemic we were
not able to host our free CPR classes or Valley View Community School during Fire Prevention Week. We
look forward to bringing these programs back in the near future once we can do so safely.
Working with the Town Administrator and the Board of Selectmen, we awarded the bid for our new engine to
Spencer Fire Trucks. We expect to take delivery of the new apparatus sometime this spring; I again would like
to thank the voters and their support and voting for this apparatus last year. Where we have so many dedicated
and deserving people within our department, Engineer Doug Houston is the 2020 recipient of the Chiefs Award
for Excellence. Engineer Houston continues to provide excellence in everything he does for our department
and the Town of Farmington. Through his knowledge and willingness to take on certain projects, he has been
able to mitigate numerous issues resulting in a significant cost savings to the department.
Again, I would like to personally thank all of the residents for their continued support during the previous year.
We at the Farmington Fire & Rescue Department strive to produce a professional and dignified resource to all
of those that require our services.

Ernie Morgan, Bob Gay, Gary Rogers, Will Cardinal, Eric Elliott, John Radcliffe,

Gary Rogers (Public Works Director) and Will Cardinal (Public Works Crew Leader) have worked
industriously to preserve the infrastructure of this beautiful town and lead the team of hardworking
individuals at the Public Works Department.
2020 was a year of many unexpected turns and changes that the Farmington Highway Department
weathered. In the past few years, the department has focused their efforts and budget towards the
proper maintenance and enhancement of the roadways, drainage infrastructure, and on continuing
the upkeep of the Cocheco Levee within the terms and conditions set forth by the State of New
Hampshire and the Army Corp of Engineers.
As is known, we had a bridge replaced unexpectedly in 2020. Working with engineers, Hoyle and
Tanner as well as contractors G.W. Brooks, the Hornetown Bridge was removed and a temporary
bridge was installed in its place. More construction will take place in the future, as well as
reviewing the conditions of the other red listed bridges in town.
For 2021, there are many objectives that we would like to accomplish. We did accomplish the
paving of portions of Meaderboro and Ten Rod Roads in 2020 and will continue to maintain and
upgrade additional town roads as conditions and funds warrant.
Sidewalk rehabilitation has been on the radar for a while and we are looking into completing this
effort in 2021. This will be an ongoing project. It has been great to see new thriving businesses in
town, which we will look to support through proper sidewalk replacement and repairs.
Meetinghouse Hill Rd received a guardrail replacement which brought the road into compliance
with state safety regulations. We have been taking into account safety concerns, accident history,
as well as roadway conditions in determining which other areas need to be addressed. Guardrails
are a hefty expense so this will be a process that will need proactive planning in order to be
achieved.
�Highway Department Report 2020
There were a few roadway culverts and catch basin replacements undertaken in 2020, as drainage
mitigation is an important concern when it comes to the overall life expectancy of the roadways.
Making sure that the roads do not get undermined by the elements is always an ongoing battle.
In December of 2020, the plow truck that was approved for purchase by the voters was delivered.
One of its primary duties will be to plow the downtown area; it will be a valuable asset for years
to come.
Due to the pandemic of 2020, the department was unable to complete many of the initiatives it had
planned. We have put plans in place in order for us to better achieve these goals during this
challenging time and we hope to recover from the limitations placed on the Department by the
Covid-19 pandemic.

their authority to review site plan applications for non-residential and multifamily housing, and the subdivision of
land. Farmington’s site plan regulations govern stormwater drainage, landscaping, parking, traffic circulation, fire
safety, and other similar issues. While the Planning Board is also responsible for preparing and holding public hearings
on proposals to adopt or revise the zoning ordinance, their only mandated duty is to prepare and, from time to time,
amend the Town’s Master Plan.
Over the past year, the Planning and Community Development Department, with guidance from the Planning Board,
has accomplished several proactive planning efforts including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Worked with the Town’s consultant, ADG, to finalize the master plan. The update process is expected to be
finalized and adopted by the Planning Board in 2021.
Streamlined the process for an applicant to obtain a voluntary merger application approved by Town staff.
Amended the Town’s fee schedule, which included changes to the following applications: major site review,
voluntary lot merger, variance request, special exception, and appeal from administrative decision.
Revoked an existing excavation permit after it was determined that the appropriate paperwork was filed to
be considered a grandfathered operation.
Participated in multiple meetings as part of the FEMA Levee Analysis and Mapping Procedure (LAMP) on
the Cocheco River.
Worked with the Strafford Regional Planning Commission to develop a Transportation Alternatives Program
(TAP) grant application for sidewalk improvements.
Prepared four proposed amendments to the Town’s Zoning Ordinance. Proposed amendments included
revisions to administrative logistics and responsibilities, clarifying the table of permitted uses, and amending
requirements for temporary and permanent storage units. Proposed amendments will be voted on by the
public at Town Meeting in March 2021.
During 2020, the Planning Board reviewed a total of 6 applications, as follows:
Type of Application
Site Plan Review
Subdivision

�As we put “hindsight” into 2020 and head into 2021, we had a lot of unusual activity for the department.
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic made policing very different. Courts being closed, bail reform,
and mask mandates.
Detective Frye was promoted to Sergeant. Officer Morin became the SRO after Officer Webster was
promoted to Detective Sergeant. Officer Guidry, Griffin and Brown joined the department. Several
officers won lifesaving awards this year for their heroic actions in saving a life. Officers continue to be
trained for progression and diversity in the agency in hopes of positive officer morale and retention. Our
biggest challenge is recruitment and retention, with these tumultuous times as very few people want to be
Police Officers. It is nice to know that Farmington “Backs the Blue” and every time I see a sign it makes
me proud to be a Police Officer in Farmington.
The Farmington Police Department saw some changes as we made sure our "Use of Force" policies are
current with National and State recommendations. The Department has, for my entire career, had
policies against "chokeholds". I am proud that our officers will always try to talk to our community first
to try and diffuse or resolve trouble.
We continue to promote many forums on recovery from addiction and continuing to work on Law
Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD). This diverts willing adults who suffer from addiction to get
them immediate help to become positive members of society cutting down on crime and promoting their
good self-worth.
Our older cars in the fleet are the 2014 Dodge Chargers. We will be researching a new cruiser this spring
in 2021, to replace one of the older cars with more than 120,000 miles on the odometer. This is paid for
with the detail fund at no costs to the taxpayer.
�We still have a drug take back box in the lobby of the Public Safety Building. It is available 24 hours a
day for disposal of unwanted prescription medications. Stop by the lobby for more information. We
have turned in over 200 pounds of medication in the recent past.
We continue doing our own prosecution work. I am very pleased with the results even though the Courts
have a large backlog. Providing a good service that is constantly in touch with the victims of
misdemeanor and violation level crimes to get them restitution and making sure a fair and reasonable
disposition is reached for all. The pandemic has slowed our Courts down to a crawl however we still see
positive results and a prosecution conviction rates of over 90%.
The Public Safety Building is now nearly 4 years old and doing very well. Due to the virus we can’t give
tours anymore, but the building still remains a staple for other Towns to emulate when looking to build
their own PSB.
Statistically this year: Total reported offenses were up a bit from 2019. Subcategories: Crimes against
persons was down by -2%. Crimes against property were down by -12%.
Crimes against society were
up by +14%. Motor Vehicle Stops were down about -30% from 2019 mostly as with Covid-19 a lot less
traffic was on the roads. Arrests were down by about -30% from 2019 with 221. Traffic Accidents were
down by about -19% with 104 reported. Driving under the influence was up this year with 13 arrests.
Even with the pandemic the officers had a very busy year with about 10,698 calls for service in 2020.
We were still able to accomplish many goals, such as increasing traffic enforcement and community
policing all while being shorthanded as much as 3 officers for some of the year. We did 1577 directed
patrols for over 537 people-hours patrolling or looking for community voiced concerns. We had three
officers leave the agency for larger departments. One officer on National Guard Duty for a short time.
One officer utilized FMLA for the birth of a child and we congratulate the addition to their family. We
had to have several officers quarantine for exposure to the virus and one that unfortunately got it. We
will be wearing masks for a long time to come and are currently down one position in the agency.
It is a privilege for us to serve the Town of Farmington, and please remember YOU the Citizens of
Farmington are our eyes and ears. Report anything you feel is unusual or suspicious to the agency at
(603)-755-2231 or in an emergency just dial 911. Several crimes that you assisted us in were the arrest
of 2 people that stole a vehicle from a Route 11 business, drug dealer(s), domestic abuse and DWI drivers.
Sincerely,
John P. Drury (Jay)

�Transfer Station Department Report 2020
Thank you to everyone who came by and utilized the Transfer Station in 2020. We had a great
year for refuse and recycling despite the changes in the industry. Our Transfer Station manager,
Pete Spencer has done a brilliant job making sure to keep our costs as low as possible, but utilizing
the cans to their fullest extent. Along with his team, he has kept the space clean, organized, and
efficient which has definitely made a large positive impact.
Our community transfer station, runs as a pay-as-you-throw program (also known as unit pricing
or variable-rate pricing), which means residents are charged for the collection of municipal solid
waste—ordinary household trash—based on the amount they throw away. With our using of the
PAYT program, the residents are charged a fee for each bag or pound of waste they generate,
depending on what is being disposed of. Either way, these programs are simple and fair. The less
individuals throw away, the less they pay.
For the entire year, we disposed of 437 Tons of MSW and 595 Tons of Bulk/Demo. The citizens
worked to recycle 292 Tons. The town worked to locate vendors and proper market pricing with
the goal of looking to offset any costs by selling any available materials. We have done analysis
into where we can dispose of our collections, with the least expenses, which has in turn has built
us a successful ongoing partnership with NRRA (Northeast Resource Recovery Association).
They are a respectable nonprofit that has worked with Farmington to help manage recycling.
NRRA is one of only a handful of nonprofits in the country that operates a recyclables marketing
cooperative, which means that we directly connect sellers of recyclable commodities to purchasers
of those commodities. Currently we work with them on our batteries, electronics, tires, and freon.
There has been research begun to enact tablet usage which will offer credit card usage, for an
additional fee. This will allow for contactless transactions and the ease to some whom have
showed displeasure with having to utilize cash or check, as credit/debit cards have been
communicated as more convenient. This initiative is goaled to be completed by end of 2021. We
will be working out the process over the next year, in order to find the option that suits the
townspeople’s best interest.
Please note that cat litter is not accepted mixed with regular household trash. It needs to be in a
separate bag or bucket so that the waste can be properly disposed of. Sharp items, for example
hypodermic needles will only be accepted for refuse if it is accepted by an attendant, in a sealed
container and labeled with cautionary regarding its contents.
Recycling has recently been halted at the facility, with the exception of corrugated cardboard and
metal. It has become more of an expense to the town and we are diligently looking into alternatives
in order to offer a more planet friendly disposal. For the time being, recyclables will be placed
into regular kitchen trash bags not separated. They are not required to be separated, they will be
charged in the per bag manner, at $1.50 per 33-gallon bag.
The Transfer Station, has created a composting space to the right of entry, past where debris is
collected. This is mixed and cared for with pride, for the free gathering of our residents use in their
home gardens. This is a mixture of dry leaves, table scraps, wood chips, and other materials that
are cleanly compiled to make a great garden feeder. Please help yourself, if you so wish.
�Transfer Station Department Report 2020
The sale of scrap metal helps offset the cost of transfer station maintenance. Please make sure that
you are throwing only metal items in the scrap metal dumpster. No electronics are allowed, and
many appliances are mostly plastic and should not be placed in the scrap metal dumpster.
If you’re unsure of any items you are looking to dispose of please ask a transfer station attendant
– they are a wealth of knowledge and are delighted to help with any of your questions or needs.

�Water and Wastewater Reports 2020

Water Department
Throughout the year 2020 the department accomplished numerous upgrades and repairs with little
disruption to the water supply. We installed a new electrical motor for well # 6 and completed
upgrades to the well houses and to wells 4, 5 and 6. Other repairs included fixing a water main
break, 3 Hydrants and 4 service lines. We also replaced 5 emergency curb gate services along with
3 main gate boxes all of which were in disrepair.
The Water Department worked with the Department of Environmental Services to remove the
discontinued underground 4,000 Gallon sodium hydroxide tank in well #2. The crew removed two
very old hydrants and replaced them with two new ones. These new fire hydrants will better serve
the Fire Department and the Town.
The water meter exchange was completed in 2020. Over the course of the Year the Town used
92,649,396 gallons of clean, safe, drinking water from our 2 primary water wells. The number is
down from the previous year by 2,696,604 gallons. The decrease is attributed to users using less
water during the drought of 2020 and to the prompt reporting and repair of leaks in the system.
Work continues with the Town’s groundwater consultant, Emery & Garrett Groundwater
Investigations, LLC, towards the replacement of Well #4.
Wastewater Department
In 2020, the Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) treated over 72 million gallons of wastewater
collected by the Town’s sewer system. 178,208 lbs. of suspended solids (98.8%), 187,349 lbs. of
biological oxygen demand (98.2%), 30,038 lbs. of nitrogen (98.5%), and 5,002 lbs. of phosphorus
(79.7%) were removed from the wastewater before the treated water was then discharged back into
the ground as groundwater recharge. 351.74 tons. of wastewater solids (sludge) was disposed of
at a cost of $53,687.72. Additionally, 916,898 gallons of septage from Farmington and
surrounding communities were received and treated at the WWTF
�Water and Wastewater Reports 2020
The Wastewater Department replaced 12 of the old worn-out sewer manholes and lowered 11
sewer manholes that were too high
The Farmington Wastewater plant partnered up with New Hampshire Environmental Services
(NHDES) on a pilot program to try and reduce the cost of phosphorus removal at
WWTFs. Phosphorus in water leaving WWTFs can cause out of control algae blooms and other
harmful effects on rivers and streams across the state. Sadly, we had to go back using chemicals
in order to remove the phosphorus before it gets to the rivers and streams. We thank DES for the
partnership with them in trying to remove the phosphorus biologically, we are still hoping to learn
how to operate our WWTF in such a way that the microorganisms (bacteria, etc.) that remove the
other materials in wastewater will also start removing the phosphorus. If we can get the
microorganisms to do the work for us, that could potentially save WWTFs across the state many
thousands of dollars each year in chemical costs. The work with NHDES will continue in 2021.
We look forward to serving the residents of Farmington in the year 2021 by providing excellent
service to your water treatment and distribution systems. We strive to keep costs down to users,
deliver safe drinking water and operate an efficient environmentally sound wastewater treatment
plant.

This year has been quite a challenging year for most. Due to Covid19, many people
experienced hardships and we saw an increase in people’s need for assistance. NH was given $20
million in federal funding to NH Housing relief efforts. The monies were given to Community
Action Programs throughout the state to be applied for. This money was made available to many
households and was able to be used for rental assistance, as well as utilities assistance. We saw
many families and homes helped with these funds. At this time, all funding has been used.
We are working closely with landlords and utility companies to help clients that may still
be behind due to Covid19 related issues. We have seen the local Homeless Shelters open more
spaces and create safe ways to continue housing our homeless population through the pandemic.
In 2020 we also updated our Welfare software to a newer program. This has allowed us
to be able to work from different locations during the pandemic to help diminish interruption of
services. The new system also allows for better record keeping and more in-depth interviews.

DRA has provided a reference range of fund balance retention amounts below. Please utilize these ranges in the
determination of the adequacy of your municipality’s unrestricted fund balance, as currently defined in GASB Statement
54. Retention amounts, as part of the municipality’s stabilization fund policy [1], should be assessed dependent upon
your governments own long-term forecasts and special circumstances. Please note that current best practices published
by GFOA recommend, at a minimum, that “…general purpose governments, regardless of size, maintain unrestricted
fund balance in their general fund of no less than two months of regular general fund operating revenues or regular
general fund operating expenditures.” [2],[3]

�TOWN MEETING MINUTES
March 11, 2020
The Moderator, Michael Morin, opened the meeting at 7:03 with the Boy Scout Troop 180 who posted
the colors and led us in the pledge of allegiance. The Woman’s Club then gathered. Joanne Doke said
she would like to acknowledge two members who had been serving our community for a long time – Ann
Titus and Penny Morin. They received a round of applause. Joanne then presented the 2020 Woman of
the Year award to Sharon Turner. Sharon was recognized for her volunteer work. She has served on a lot
of committees, but most recently the steering committee working to determine what will become of the
old fire station. She can be seen tending the garden by the Municipal parking lot and working with the
Historical Society and the curator of the Henry Wilson Museum. She also traps, rescues and rehomes
feral and stray cats and an occasional stray pig. Sharon received a standing ovation and then thanked
everyone for the honor. The Moderator welcomed everyone and reminded them to check in with
supervisors of the checklists because we are counting cards not hands. He also reminded people to
silence their cell phones and pointed out the exits. He announced that candidates in yesterday’s election
who were unopposed could be sworn in after this meeting. He then read the warrant and results of
yesterday’s election. He also announced that we would not be taking the articles in order.

Stephen Henry moved to accept Article 8 as written, seconded Sylvia Arcouette. Bruce Bridges motioned
to change this to a 10-wheel dump truck because he feels a 6 wheeler is inadequate. This was seconded
by Gary Rogers. Charlie King asked to hear from public works & the Board of Selectmen regarding the
amendment. Gary stated that we would be replacing a 6-wheeler. A 10-wheeler is bigger than the truck it
would be replacing. Arthur Capello pointed out that the warrant article doesn’t specify the size so we can
look at 10-wheel trucks as we continue to look at this lease/purchase. Les Leary said he thinks we have a
desperate need to replace it, but we should leave it open. The amendment was not approved by a show of
cards vote. Being no further discussion, Article 8 was approved by a show of cards vote.

Estimated Tax Impact .12
Joshua Whitehouse made a motion to approve Article 10 as written, seconded by TJ Place. Brian
Beaverstock made a motion to amend by increasing $5837 to line 4550-4559 for the library, seconded by
Penny Morin. Brian explain that during budget presentation they were told to bring any increases to this
meeting. This represents 2.1% salary line increases and professional development increases after a wage
study was conducted. Sylvia Arcouette asked how much salaries and how many attend the program.
Kayla Morin-Riordin stated that the attendance was 127 and it was offered twice a year and they would
love to offer it more times. Sam Place stated that she was personally in favor and that it was discussed at
the Budget Committee level, but the Budget Committee thought it was better left to this body. Kayla said
that it is now limited it to 12 families and we currently have 9 children and 8 parents. Neil Johnson said
that the Board of Selectmen had decided to level fund the Library because they have a trust account that
has over $500,000 in it and an additional $30,000 from previous budgets that was left unspent. Blanche
�Tanner said she had a general comment that we are trying to approve the image of the town and the
Library is a central part of the community for all ages and stages of people. She wanted to see a show of
support. Linda McElhiney said that they did mention the Mainstay account with over $500,000 at the
Budget meetings. Since then she has spoken to their advisor who recommends withdrawal of $16,000 per
year to offset their budget. For the $30,000, Linda stated she is working diligently to track down all of
the funding. She felt that in the past we may have money from benefactors that may have been placed in
that account. Brian Beaverstock said that the Mainstay trust account has given $272,000 to the town over
the last few years which is the purpose of the perpetual trust. Sylvia Arquette asked how much of this
increase is for salaries vs. professional development to which Brian responded that it was $2,000 for
professional development and the rest for salaries which is about a 2% increase. Howard Champagne
said this was good discussion but he is against the amendment and felt that they should make better use of
the funds they already have since his taxes went up $2500 last year. Howard said that it is not going to do
any good to add many more programs if it is too expensive to live here. Joshua Whitehouse made a
motion to call the question, seconded by Jodi Connolly which was not approved by a show of cards vote.
Tami Larock, Director of the Library said that when at the Budget Committee Neil referred to money as
residuals, but that amount is money that is already committed. Neil thanked Tami for that clarification
because it had not been made clear at the Budget Committee or the Board of Selectmen’s meetings that it
was earmarked. Being no further discussion, the amendment was approved by a show of cards vote. The
Moderator reread Article 10 as amended to $7,173,721. Being no discussion, Article 10 was approved, as
amended, by a show of cards vote. Brian Beaverstock made a motion to restrict reconsideration which
was seconded by Joshua Whitehouse. Neil Johnson stated that he recommended this not be passed
because of the complexity of some of the articles and the bridge repair. We may need to revisit this later
to cover other Articles. Penny Morin asked if it would be appropriate to table this Article until after the
others. The Moderator said that we could not because it had already been voted on. There was discussion
on why we voted on the other articles. Kathy Seaver said that the other two articles were not restricted so
we can still go back to them. The motion to restrict reconsideration failed by a show of cards vote.

year 2 and 2% for the 3rd year. Penny Morin asked if we should change this to reflect that it is only an
estimated impact. The town’s attorney explained that you cannot change this wording, but the discussion
informs everyone that it is only estimated. Penny did not wish to make the amendment. Being no further
discussion, Article 11 was approved by a show of cards vote.

Henry asked if there were changes in health insurance. Neil stated that they can select either of the two
current town policies. Being no further discussion, Article 13 was approved by a show of cards vote. A
petition for a ballot vote had been presented to the Moderator and he read names to determine if they are

cards vote. The vote on Article 13 was Yes 67 no 11. Tim Brown made a motion to take Article 14 off the

To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $5,000 to be added to the Bridges and
Road Design Capital Reserve Fund, previously established. This is to pay 20% of the required funding
from NH State Bridge Aid. This sum to come from the unassigned fund balance. No amount to be raised
from the 2020 Taxation Year.
Selectmen Recommend: Yes (5-0)
Budget Committee Recommend: Yes (8-0)
Estimated Tax Impact For 2020: .00
Total in the fund as of December 2019: $109,052
�Neil Johnson made a motion to approve Article 24, seconded by Elizabeth Johnson. Neil Johnson made
a motion to amend to strike “to pay 20% of the required funding from NH State Bridge Aid.” This will
be used to do a temporary bridge to be placed. There is currently no state aid for bridges. This was
seconded by Ann Titus. Stephen Henry asked how long the temporary bridge was going to last and asked
if it is just a 6-month bandaid and the Moderator said that we are only addressing the removing of the
20% and Steve asked if we were not likely to get any aid in anytime soon to which Neil replied no. The
amendment was approved by a show of cards vote. Neil Johnson made a motion to propose an
amendment to change the amount to $131,000 seconded by David Connolly. Neil stated that we will be
building a temporary bridge for about $300,000 which will give us more time to do the replacement for
about 1.35 million rather than try to raise that amount immediately. The temporary bridge will support
the full weight of fire/ambulance to give time and then it can be used at other bridge locations as each
bridge repair is accomplished. When this meeting is over we are hopefully going to have reduced some
of the other warrant articles and apply that to the bridge amount. Using this additional capital reserve and
using some trust funds will have no impact on taxes this year. Tim Brown asked the board to speak to
how it raises or lowers our priority for getting bridge aid money when it does come available. Neil
explained that according to the engineering firm it has no impact on the rating on the bridge that is there
now. Eventually the old bridge is still considered into the funding formula. We were afraid it would
eliminate us but it will not affect any potential funds from state or federal funding. Linda McElhiney
asked how much there is in unassigned fund balance. Arthur stated that if everything passes we will have
approximately 7 percent. The Board of Selectmen waived their 8 percent policy to allow this to happen.
Paul Turner asked when we anticipate completion so full traffic can resume. Neil stated that, according to
engineering firm, by the end of the summer. Mike Morin questioned when is the end of summer? Neil
said that at least September 1st for the start of school is the goal. Robert Todd asked how long the
temporary bridge is good for. Neil said it has 10-15 years potentially. Robert Todd asked if there is a
possibility we can go after it next year to go for the 1.4 million which Neil affirmed was the case. Robert
Todd stated that their taxes went up $2,000 last year so if it is good for 15 years we should take that into
consideration. Penny Morin stated that we have 4 total bridges in need of repair. Paula Proulx said there
are 4 red listed bridges but that doesn’t mean that they all are in need of repair at this point. Bridges have
come on the red list and dropped off over time. We have a capital reserve and are putting away money
hoping to be considered shovel ready when money becomes available. Charlie King said he assumes we
are trying to get an 80-20 match so it would be $280,000 of the 1.4 million to replace the bridge. Charlie
said so our expenditure is $600,000 from now until replacement – correct?. Neil said yes but then we can
move it and we have 3 other bridges to rotate it to until we can get those addressed. Charlie asked if we
could just sell it and was it wise to keep it. The Board plans using it as a rotating basis. Charlie asked if
those other bridges are that bad to which Neil pointed out that River Road is already closed. The
Engineers are looking at the other two now. Kayla Morin-Riordin asked if that is the goal to get all 4
bridges replaced in the next 15 years to get the most use of the temporary bridge. Neil said yes the goal is
to get them done in the lifetime of that bridge. In the future we can fund additional to build up the capital
reserve fund so we have the 20% if money becomes available. Linda McElhiney asked how does this
affect the stay at home rule because using undesignated fund balance. Arthur stated that it should have no
impact on tax. The Moderator said that the subject has not changed. The amounts can be changed.
Being no further discussion, the amendment was approved by a show of cards vote. The Town Attorney
asked for a two-minute break to have a discussion with the board. She explained that she felt the
amendment to take out the 20% may well violate the stay at home rule. She is recommending we put
back in the 20% and say it may be used. Neil Johnson made a motion to add this may be used to pay a
20% match for the required funding from NH State Bridge Aid, seconded by TJ Place. Stephen Henry
questioned how the original CRF was set up. Arthur said it was set up for bridge replacement at that time
with no mention of the 20% matching funds. Being no further discussion, the amendment was approved
by a show of cards vote. Gerald Vachon asked for a breakdown of the temporary bridge cost of $250,000.
Neil said that the actual bridge will be $50,000 with the balance to do everything to install it. Tim Brown
called for a point of order stating that this article getting keeps getting referred to as Article 15. He asked
�it be clarified that it is Article 24. The Moderator clarified that it is Article 24. Neil stated that the bridge
life is good for 10-15 years. Arthur Capello stated that they had talked with the engineer to have it
designed to potentially be used on the other red listed bridges. Charlie King asked if we wouldn’t we be
better off getting a bond. Neil Johnson said that this warrant article was already written when the problem
became evident so we would have to wait for next year or have a special meeting to bond. Paula Proulx
said that a permanent bridge would take a lot of permitting and would not possibly even be able to be
started for 1-2 years and that was not acceptable. Article 24 was approved, as amended, by a show of
cards vote. A motion to restrict was made by Kayla Morin-Riordan, seconded by Joshua Whitehouse and
approved by a show of cards vote.
Article 15 Elderly Exemptions

TJ Place made a motion to approve Article 28, seconded by Ann Titus. Tim Brown asked if this paying
our building inspector and, if so does this covers all expenses. It was explained that it covers the cost of
all related expenses to the salary of the Building Inspector. Arthur Capello explained it is considered an
employee position but it is funded by building permits. After discussion, Article 28 was approved by a
show of cards vote.

To see if the town will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $20,000 to be added to the Self-Contained
Breathing Apparatus CRF previously established. This sum to come from the unassigned fund balance.
No amount to be raised from the 2020 Taxation Year.

Estimated Tax Impact for 2020: .00

amount in mind and will this increase in future years. Neil Johnson said potentially yes. Being no further
discussion, the amendment was approved by a show of cards vote. Article 29, as amended, was approved
by a show of cards vote.
Article 30 Lease of Copier
�To see if the Town will vote to authorize the selectmen to enter into a five-year lease agreement for
$15,330 (total 5-year cost for the purpose of leasing a Canon copier for the Municipal Office and Police
Department, there is no payment due in 2020. This lease agreement contains an escape clause. (Majority
vote required).
Selectmen Recommend: Yes (5-0) Budget Committee Recommend: Yes (8-0)
Estimated Tax Impact for 2020: .00
Jodi Connolly made a motion to approve Article 30 as written, seconded by Deborah Reed. Stephen
Henry said he understood this to be 2 canon copiers one for the Municipal Office and one for the police
and moved to amend to state this, seconded by Samantha Place. The amendment was approved by a show
of cards vote. Article 30 was approved, as amended, by a show of cards vote.
Article 31 Sarah Greenfield Park Reserve Fund
To see if the town will vote to establish a Sarah Greenfield Park Reserve Fund under the provisions of
RSA 35:1-c for the purpose of maintenance, repair and upgrades of the Park to foster and encourage
development of the lots within the Park and to raise and appropriate the sum of $166,001 to be placed in
this fund, said amount to come from “Fund 5 – Sarah Greenfield” and no amount to come from taxation.
Further, to name the Board of Selectmen as agents to expend from said fund. (Majority Vote Required)
Selectmen Recommend: Budget Committee Recommend: No (4-4)
Estimated Tax Impact: .00
TJ Place made a motion to approve Article 31 as written, seconded by David Connolly. Linda
McElhinney said she would like further clarification of this reserve fund. Paula Proulx explained that we
currently have a fund 5 for Sarah Greenfield. Paula said that the fund was set up for repairs and
infrastructure in 1997. The Auditors asked us to change it into a Capital Reserve Fund. The Town
Attorney stated she was asked and could find no authority to set up the original fund. This is a more legal
way to treat the fund because we have to restrict these funds. Penny Morin asked the board to speak
about the repairs and upgrades to make it more effective. Paula Proulx said that as a board they haven’t
discussed what those will be yet. In the past it has been used for some road repairs and signs. A survey
was done, there was an easement for a road for future expansion. Blanche Tanner asked why it was not a
capital reserve. The Town Attorney said because it is not for capital improvement so the law treats it as
just a reserve fund not a capital reserve fund. Brian Beaverstock asked why the Budget Committee didn’t
recommend that it pass. Stephen Henry said, speaking for himself, he took issue of the agents to expend
being in the same article as creating the funds. He said he was not necessarily opposed to it, he just
wanted to have them separated into two warrant articles. Article 31 was approved by a show of cards
vote.
Article 32 All other business
To allow the Town to conduct any other business that may come before this body.
Jodi Connolly made a motion to adjourn at 9:45, duly seconded and approved by a voice vote.
Respectfully submitted,
Kathy L. Seaver, Town Clerk-Tax Collector

(missing: Linda Seaward).
Farmington Town Report‐Goodwin Library 2020
Alongside everyone else on the planet, Goodwin Library had an unusually challenging 2020. Staff
remained stable, with Tami Larock as Director, Joyce White, Assistant Director, Kayla Morin-Riordan,
Children’s Supervisor & Program Coordinator; Pam Groat, Inter-library Loans and Material Preparation,
and Donna Swett, Children’s Librarian. Patience Taylor, Logan Barrett, and Moriah Saddler continued to
be responsible for many library functions: locating items for patron reservations, computer assistance,
cataloging, collection maintenance (new items in and worn items out), monthly emergency equipment
inspections, etc. Linda Seaward continued on as our high-energy Custodian. We began the year in great
spirits: our brand-new lift allowed handicap access to the Community Room, and we had many requests
for its use, including Strafford County WIC services.
While everything changed in late March-when most every place closed due to Covid-19-this library
worked on ways to reach our local community. Prior to completely closing, Curbside Pickup was
implemented. We continued to offer books, audios, DVDs, tax forms, copy-making and faxing, as well as
Notary services. Librarian hours were acutely cut, but staff managed to contact many patrons, renewing
library cards and delivering items to homebound patrons, many of whom were elderly.
Libraries closed state-wide and NH State Library suspended their Inter-library Loan system. With their
own building closed, the State Library continued to provide recommendations for safe service methods.
Goodwin Library made the early decision to waive new fines and blanket-renewed all borrowed items.
Online card applications were activated, enabling access to our virtual services: NH Downloadable Books
(both Libby and Overdrive-for eBooks and audios); both Ancestry Library Edition and Heritage Quest for
genealogical research, and many educational resources for children and adults.
Working from their homes, Children’s librarians rushed to produce quality virtual story times, with
visits from family pets providing comic relief. Stuffed animals in our windows greeted searchers who
could register their finds on the Teddy Bear Hunt Facebook page. The building’s landscape received a
much-needed facelift and Butterfly’s Garden took shape as the pandemic wore on. Patron appointments
began once the Covid infection risk lessened during the summer. However, as Covid numbers
skyrocketed, most libraries reverted to Curbside Pickup, where we remained through the end of the year.
�Staff enrolled in several online educational opportunities, including the ECHO sessions through
Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.
Children’s Room staff met the challenge of family education and entertainment with a retooled
Summer Reading Program: 6 weekly-coordinated story time packets, including take-&-make crafts and
activities. They applied for and received the Children’s Literary Foundation (CLiF) Summer Reader’s
grant, then presented internationally-known story teller Simon Brooks virtually and providing brand
new books to local children. Other favorites were Cartoonist Marek Bennett’s class, and Seacoast Science
Center’s virtual program, Marine Mammal Rescue. With the Selectmen and Conservation Commission’s
blessing, the long-awaited Story Walk was put in place at the McCarthy Trail in late September, and
immediately became a popular destination, receiving over 270 visitors in less than 2 months!
Goodwin library offered author and speaker Dan Szczesny’s virtual White Mountain Days presentation
for two weeks. We continued to see new people in Bookies-our book group-which met monthly via Zoom.
Our Sit n Stitch knit and crochet group met the challenge of staying active virtually. This library heard the
community’s concern for reduced availability of reading materials and, although limited in locations, our
Free Book Bins supplied over 800 books and magazines for children and adults. Autumn and winter
holidays saw several boxes of donated books, both for Halloween and Christmas.
STATISTICS for 2020
Our statistics reflect the impact of the Covid‐19 pandemic on this community.
Cards created (includes renewals)-99
Circulation of materials-11,043
Overdrive-books/magazines: 1587; audio books-2732
Money patrons “saved” by checking out items at the library-$133,033 (cost of items if
purchased, not including Overdrive usage)
Reference Questions-2,146
Computer Use (sessions)-598 (44 Children’s lab and 554 Adult’s lab)
Number of Programs-15 total (9 Children’s and 6 Adults)
Program Attendance-1,377 total (1,301 Children/Teens and 76 Adults)
Volunteer Hours-133
The Goodwin Library is presided over by a Board of Trustees with a constitution and bylaws dating to
the 1890’s. Although the trustees govern, manage, and have custody of the library, it is primarily
supported financially by the Town of Farmington. Therefore, the Goodwin Library strives to provide
quality services and resources to the community, while cautiously spending and using the funds available
in a responsible manner. The library is able to do this because of staff teamwork, volunteer hours ,
support of the Friends group, donations by local businesses and updated processes and procedures, all of
which contribute to increased efficiency.
This pandemic has reinforced our community’s need for a meeting place-a place of information,
recreation, learning and comfort. Our trustees’ goal is to reopen carefully, in stages related to Covid-19
risks. Goodwin Library staff looks forward to the time when we can welcome all new and returning
patrons back inside for browsing. Current hours for Curbside Pickup, tax forms, copies, faxes, and
Notary services by appointment: Monday 10‐5, Thursday 3‐7. Saturday 10‐2‐Notary unavailable.

�We deeply appreciate the Town of Farmington ongoing support of Cornerstone VNA,
your local independent nonprofit visiting nurse association serving Strafford, Belknap,
Carroll and Rockingham Counties in NH and York County in ME. Being mission driven, we
are committed to bringing services to people of all ages regardless of their ability to pay,
so that families can stay together at home, even when facing the challenges of aging, surgical recovery, chronic or lifethreatening illnesses or end of life care. We provide award-winning care at home through five programs: Home Care,
Hospice Care, Palliative Care, Life Care-Private Duty, and Community Care.
As a healthcare organization, we are very involved in emergency preparedness planning to ensure that we are able to
continue providing care to our patients in the event of emergencies. Due to these important planning efforts, we are
proud to share that we were very well-prepared when COVID-19 arrived. Thanks to technology investments, our office
staff quickly transitioned to working remotely, and our field staff continued providing exceptional care to our patients,
navigating each day with an increased focus on infection control. All of this was possible because we have a very strong
team, and generous donors and municipalities who believe in, and support, our mission.
Although 2020 presented some unique challenges, we are pleased to share some notable accomplishments:
•
On October 15th, we broke ground on a significant capital project to expand our building and renovate our existing
space. Since moving to 178 Farmington Road in Rochester, NH in 2001, we have experienced significant growth,
particularly in the last decade. Once our project is completed, our staff will benefit from well-designed spaces that
will foster better communication and collaboration, as well as enhanced professional development through our
improved training rooms. All of this will translate into better patient care, improved community support, and a team
that is prepared for future growth. Funding to support this project will come from low interest loans as well as
donations from individuals, local businesses, foundations, and fundraising events.
• This year, we welcomed several new medical providers to our growing Palliative Care (PC) Team. In addition to our
PC Manager and Nurse Practitioner (NP), we added a PC Medical Director, two additional NPs and a PC Support
Nurse. PC is a growing specialty program that provides specialized medical care for people with a serious illness,
with a focus on providing symptom management and patient education. Although PC is underfunded, Cornerstone
VNA believes in this program because it provides improved quality of life and decreases the need for emergency
room visits or re-hospitalizations. What is unique about our PC program, is that our new Medical Director, Dr.
Andrew Kunkemueller, is able to provide hospital-based (at Portsmouth Regional Hospital and Frisbie Memorial
Hospital) consultations, care and support to patients with complex illnesses. Through this hospital partnership, our
PC Team is able to provide an extra layer of support to local physicians.
• Due to COVID-19, we created two very special virtual Hospice Memorial Services, which engaged and touched more
families than ever before. We also hosted monthly virtual Caregiver Cafés throughout the year as well.
• 2020 Awards and Recognition
• Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce, 2020 Large Nonprofit of the Year
• Business NH Magazine 2020 Health Care Business of the Decade
• Best of the Seacoast First Place Award Winner, 2020 Best Home Health Care
• NH Magazine, Nursing Excellence Award - 2020 Nurse Leader, Julie Reynolds, RN, MS, President/CEO
It is our privilege provide trusted, compassionate and expert health care to members of your community and we are
pleased to share the number of visits by program in 2020.

Mary Barron
It is an honor to dedicate this year’s Town Report to Mary (Schulte)
Barron. Mary is a lifelong resident of Farmington who has served the
community in numerous capacities throughout the years. After graduating
Farmington High School in 1971, Mary went on to earn her Associate’s
Degree at Plymouth State University in 1973, the same year she married
Butch Barron. She worked several years for Bayside Carbide until she
began her present career of office manager at Barron Brothers
Development Inc. She went back to complete her degree for Professional
Studies at College for Lifelong Learning through the University of New
Hampshire and graduated Summa Cum Laude.
Since the early 1990’s Mary has volunteered and been elected to a variety
of Town Official Offices: Town Moderator, School Moderator, School
Board Member, School Treasurer and currently Ballot Clerk. She also has
been on the Goodwin Library Board of Trustees, the 151st Memorial Day
Parade Committee and the Dollars for Scholars Program.
For 30 plus years going back to the early 1980’s, Mary was deeply involved with what
is now the Farmington Town Players. Aside from helping with numerous aspects of
the group, she was a performer and even wrote one of the scripts they performed.
In 2016, The Friends of Farmington was born thanks to many dedicated volunteers
including Mary. To this day she continues her membership on the Board of Directors.
When the Town was about to lose the downtown Christmas Lights and the Farmington
Preservation Guild was formed to save the tradition, Mary volunteered her time and
efforts and continues to do so.
In 1996 she received the
Puddledock Press Person
of the Year Award and in 2016 The Farmington
Women’s Club awarded their first Woman of the Year
Award to Mary. Most recently, Mary has been putting
her journalism degree to work by writing and
publishing The Farmington Community News.
All of this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes
to talking about the loyalty and passion Mary has for
this Town. What it comes down to is that Mary Barron
represents that all-too-rare combination of thinker, doer, and achiever. She puts so much of her energy and love
into this community that the two words ‘Thank You’ cannot even touch the gratitude we feel. We want Mary to
know that behind those two words there are a million words of praise and appreciation for all she does and who
she is.
Sincerely and Respectfully,
The Farmington Board of Selectmen

�2019 Chairman’s Report
Paula Proulx, Ann Titus, Dave Connolly, Neil Johnson, TJ Place
Busy. Busy. Busy is how I would describe this past year. The job of Selectman has not been
easy this year. Money gets tighter and projects never cease to surface. Having said that, I would like
to express my sincere gratitude to all department heads, employees and the Town Administrator for
carefully expending lasts year's budget and creating the budget for this year.
Revaluation. One of the things that affected many people this year was the town wide revaluation.
Selectmen must reappraise all real estate in the town so that assessments are at "full and true value"
at least every 5 years by state statute. The listing and appraising of property is for tax purposes. The
reason it is important is because each year the Town votes on the budget, the valuation of the Town
is used to set the tax rate which in turn pays for the School, the Town and contributes to the state
budget.
Projects. The water meter switch out went great! I would like to thank everyone involved for
helping us get this done in a timely manner. New England Backflow Company did a good job
working with our townspeople affected by the project. It was no small feat! We started with 1200
plus meters that needed to be installed and have less than 100 still needing to be addressed.
The update of the master plan for the Town is coming to a close. The Arnett Development Group
worked closely with the UNH Cooperative Extension and our own group of citizens that made up the
Downtown Revitalization Committee. To initiate more community involvement as a way to collect
data, a public community forum was held and a community-wide survey was conducted. Both were
well received! Data was collected and sorted. It will strengthen the resolve of our master plan as it is
the tool we use to aid us in the application for grants. For this, I would like to thank the UNH
Cooperative Extension, the Downtown Revitalization Committee and all our townspeople who
participated in the community outreach.
�2019 Chairman’s Report
The search is on... the Board of Selectmen have been working with the Emery and Garret Company in
the search for viable areas for a replacement well for well #4. The company conducts groundwater
investigations, test drillings, and piloting to determine the best location for placement. We are
researching and pursuing possibilities to ensure quality and quantity of water for the Town for years
to come.
The solar array projects experienced more hiccups this year. A new company, Blue Planet, has
taken over ownership of the solar project. There seemed to be some communication problems
concerning the percent of completeness during the transfer of ownership that slowed down progress.
Blue Planet has filed all the necessary paperwork and worked with the Department of
Environmental Services to make substantial headway. It is believed that the Town should see
construction begin as soon as possible.
Roads continue to be a concern of the Board. We have continued to add money in the budget for the
maintenance and upkeep of our roads. We have taken a proactive approach by not only posting
our outer roads when needed, but also, posting weight limits on our inner town roads. This
was done after a lot of thought to help reduce the stress and wear from trucks that these roads
were not designed to carry. Hopefully, it will allow more time for planning purposes.
Ongoing and future projects. The Board of Selectmen and the Town Administrator have
been working diligently to get more properties back on the tax rolls. This year we were able
to sell 5 more properties. Not only will it add $119,100.00 back into usable revenue, it also
adds the properties back into the mix to help pay for the budget. Another project the Board
will be taking on will be a review of the transfer station and how we do business. A large
increase in the budget this year came from heightened tipping and hauling fees. This is
coupled with the problem of recyclable disposal worldwide. We will be considering our
options and developing plans to continue to make our transfer station an affordable option for
the Town.
A quick thank you. Thank you to our emergency teams, Fire and Police, for the great job
they do for all of us. They operate in a difficult climate and always make us proud. A
continuing thank you to the Farmington Preservation and Improvement Organization for their
efforts with the banners, flags and Christmas lights. They remind us that our little town is
special. Thank you to all of our volunteers who serve on boards, committees and nonprofit
groups. Without your time commitments, the Town would be at a severe disadvantage. Thank
you to the Town Administrator and the rest of my board. We have worked very hard to put
forth a responsible and manageable budget this year. I hope our efforts have met your
expectations. Lastly, I would like to thank all the residents of Farmington for allowing us to
serve you. Hope your year is healthy and prosperous.
Respectfully submitted, Paula Proulx

2019 Town Administrator’s Report
It has been a very busy 2019. Many things have happened. The Town completed a state-mandated
revaluation. Through the hard work of the staff, for the first time the Town is now part of PRIMEX
Prime. By working through this process, we are able to save over $7,000 on the Town’s total
insurance cost. All of the lights in the Recreation Center have been upgraded to LED lighting
which has greatly improved the lighting in the building and will also result in overall savings for
the Town.
I want to thank all the staff for their hard work. It is through their hard work that again we have
been able to limit tax impacts to the residents.
I look forward to an exciting 2020. Please
feel free to stop in any time. My door is
always open.
Respectfully submitted,
Arthur Capello, Town Administrator

�2019 Assessing Department Report
The Assessing Office is responsible for ensuring equitable assessments, which distribute the
Town’s tax burden in accordance with New Hampshire statutes. Assessments are based on the
fair market value of property, and are applied in a fair, equitable, and consistent manner. The
Town of Farmington contracts Avitar Associates of Chichester, NH to provide assessing
services, and administrative duties are performed by the Assessing Clerk who is a Town
employee.
In 2019, a Town-Wide Statistical Update was completed, and all property values in the Town of
Farmington were updated to current market values. All property owners were sent a preliminary
notice of their new value in July and had the opportunity to make an appointment with the
Assessor to discuss their assessment, either in person or by phone. These informal hearings were
held for 6 days from 7/31/19 to 8/7/19. If you would like more detailed information regarding
the 2019 Revaluation, you can find it on the Assessing Department Page on the Town’s Website,
under “2019 Revaluation”.
Abatements: If you disagree with your property’s assessed value, you may file an Abatement
Application after the final notice of tax (2nd bill in December) and prior to March 1st.
Credits and Exemptions are processed in the Assessing Department. The deadlines and basic
criteria are as follows:
Veteran’s Credit: Must meet applicable dates of service, have been
honorably discharged & a NH resident for one year prior to application. Requires DD214.
Application deadline: April 15th.
Elderly Exemption: Must be 65 years of age prior to April 1st & a NH resident for at least three
years. Must meet income and asset limits. Single applicants cannot have more than $30,000 in
gross income; married applicants cannot have more than $50,000 in gross income. Applicants
may not have more than $75,000 in assets. Application deadline: April 15th
Other Exemptions: The Town of Farmington also has an exemption for the Blind, as well as
an exemption for Solar and Wood-heating systems. Contact the office for more information.
New in 2019, the Town of Farmington voted at Town Meeting to increase the exemption for
Solar Energy Systems to 100% of their assessed value. This exemption is not automatic – you
must make an application to the Town prior to April 15th to receive this exemption.
Current Use Program. The NH Current Use Program went into effect in 1973. The Town of
Farmington has over 250 properties enrolled in this program. Under Current Use, the land is
assessed at its present use rather than its highest potential use, enabling landowners to keep their
open space lands undeveloped. When land comes out of Current Use, a penalty is imposed. At
this time, 100% of the Current Use penalties collected go to the Conservation Commission. If
you have any questions about the Current Use program, please contact this office. Application
deadline: April 15th.

Online Assessing Data. One of the benefits of our assessing software is the ability to view
assessing data online. The website can be accessed through the Town’s website on the Assessing
Department’s page. Log in as an Anonymous User, click on the Town of Farmington, and you

Property record cards can be viewed and printed from the public computer provided in the
Assessing Department. I would also be happy to email a card to you or drop one in the mail if
that is your preference. I would encourage every taxpayer to request a copy of their property
record card to help us ensure that our information is accurate as it pertains to your property.
Tax maps are available here in the office, or can be viewed and printed from the Town’s web
site. We also have GIS online maps which can be accessed through our website on the Assessing
Department’s page.

�2019 Conservation Commission Report
Lawrence Fitzgerald, Richard Ballou, Michelle Elbert, Tom Sorensen, Laura Bogardus, Ann Titus, Randy Orvis
The purpose of the Farmington Conservation Commission is to protect and promote the Town’s
natural resources and to protect the watershed resources of the Town, while fulfilling the
mandates of RSA 36-A.
The Conservation Commission held our annual Spring and Fall Cleanups this year. Between the
two cleanups we collected 2080 lbs of trash, on Bay Road, River Road, Cocheco Road and
Spring Street.
Our student camper at the Barry 4-H Camp in Berlin this year was a 13-year-old student from
Henry Wilson Memorial School. He came before the Commission’s January meeting and
presented his application essay. He wrote that he loves the outdoors because it is better than
playing video/board games, that the sun is good for people, and camping is an adventure waiting
around the corner. He said he has never been camping and that he thinks it would be a good
experience for him. We agreed.
Thank you so much to Henry Wilson School Guidance Counselor Sarah Gould for her assistance
in choosing a great candidate for camp! We love that we are able to provide this experience and
we are always impressed with the students the school chooses.
The Commission has struggled this year with finding volunteers to help maintain the hiking trails
established on our conservation properties (current trails exist on the French Property on
Hornetown Road, the Town Forest on Bay Road and the McCarthy Trail on Main Street), but we
are in the process of creating a trail maintenance group, which should help with keeping the
brambles under control. That being said, we have seen a lot of activity on all of our conservation
properties and are really very pleased they are being used! There also seems to be less trash
disposal at the properties as well, which is very encouraging.
�2019 Conservation Commission Report
We hosted a few forums this year, including discussions about beekeeping, timber harvesting,
and moose. We are hoping to continue to provide informational forums and discussions on a
variety of topics this year.
We are looking forward to 2020 and hope to add student members from Farmington High School
to our team (we have openings for two students!).
The Conservation Commission meets in the Town Hall at 6:00 pm on the second Wednesday of
each month, with the exception of March. New members (including students!), or alternates, are
always welcome.

The members of the Farmington Fire & Rescue Department continue to be dedicated professionals that serve the
residents and visitors of Farmington. With their dedication, we responded to 1196 calls for service in 2019, of those calls
908 were EMS related and the remaining 288 were fire related. The income from our ambulance billing netted the town
$209,856.46 in total revenue.
Over the past year, the department has conducted life safety inspections in 107 different buildings; this includes 322
individual residential units, 11 oil burner inspections and 2 residential foster care inspections. We continue to invite the
students from Valley View Elementary School to the public safety building during Fire Prevention Week. We were able
to interact with over 320 students and provide them with valuable lifesaving information that they are able to take home
to their families. We issued 717 seasonal campfire and brush permits throughout the calendar year. We continue to hold
CPR classes free of charge to the taxpayers and have 62 new residents certified in valuable life saving techniques.
The dedication from all of the Fire Department members resulted in 25,890 hours worked and 3,056.10 training hours.
I worked with the Town Administrator and the Board of Selectmen in developing a fiscally responsible plan to replace
an out of service fire engine. If approved at Town Meeting, this new pumper/tanker will service the community for many
years to come and help address our water supply issue in the rural parts of town. We have also been working on a new
recruitment and retention campaign; I am excited to see the outcome from all of the hard work and dedication that the
current staff has provided the department in this project.
Where we have so many dedicated and
deserving people within our department,
Lieutenant Eric Howarth was awarded
the Chiefs Award for Excellence for
2019. Lt. Howarth continues to provide
excellence in everything he does for our
department and the Town of

I would like to personally thank all of the
residents for their continued support
during the previous year, it does not go

professional and dignified resource to all
of those that require our services.

During the month of June participants paid to have pink flamingos put on their friend’s lawn for either
one or two days at a time.
June 22, 2019- The Town Wide Yard Sale provides an opportunity for people to get publicity for their yard
sale at a low cost. Each participant pays $5 and the Recreation Department constructs a map with all their
addresses on it. The maps are distributed throughout Farmington so thrifty shoppers can plan their yard
sale hunt.
July 27, 2019- Family Day @ Fernald Park was held on a Saturday. The free event featured a performance
by BJ Hickman, a “Touch a Truck” presented by Farmington’s Fire, Police & Public Works Departments and

Another group that again went above and beyond this year for our community was Grace Community
Church (GCC). On Wednesday evening’s during the winter months’ members of GCC serve free meals to
the community in the Recreation Department’s Gym.
I would also like to give a special thank you to all the businesses and organizations that continuously
support our department through sponsorships and donations. Without your support, we would not be
able to provide the quality programs and events that we do.

�2019 Department of Planning and Community Development Report
The Town of Farmington Planning Board is made up of seven (7) regular members, appointed by
the Select Board and includes one (1) Selectmen, to act as ex-officio member, with no power to
vote. Typically, the Planning Board’s role is to provide for the orderly growth and development of
the municipality using their authority to review site plan applications for non-residential and multifamily housing, and the subdivision of land. Farmington’s site plan regulations govern stormwater
drainage, landscaping, parking, traffic circulation, fire safety, and other similar issues. While the
Planning Board is also responsible for preparing and holding public hearings on proposals to adopt
or revise the zoning ordinance, their only
mandated duty is to prepare and, from time to
time, amend the Town’s Master Plan.
The Planning and Community Development
Department welcomed two new employees
this year. Kyle Pimental, a Principal Regional
Planner with the Strafford Regional Planning
Commission, was hired as the interim director
of Planning and Community Development.
His duties include maintaining regular office
hours, technical reviews and applicant
coordination, planning board and zoning
board administration, and assistance with
master plan development. Sarah Morse was
hired as Land Use Assistant in April.
Kyle Pimental and Sarah Morse
Her position involves assisting the Planning and Zoning Boards and processing applications.
Over the past year, the Planning and Community Development Department, with guidance from
the Planning Board, has accomplished several proactive planning efforts including:
•
•
Working with the Town’s consultant, ADG, to update the master plan. As part of this
process a public engagement campaign was developed, which included a land use survey
and a visual preference activity, that received over 700 total responses. This information
will be used to inform specific recommendations within the master plan. The update
process is expected to be finalized and adopted by the Planning Board in 2020.
Preparing six proposed amendments to the Town’s Zoning Ordinance. Proposed
amendments included adding definitions, revising the table of permitted uses, changing
bulk standards within the Village District, addressing challenges with recreational vehicles,
clarifying the administrative process for accessory dwelling units, and allowing for rear lot
subdivisions. Proposed amendments will be voted on by the public at Town Meeting in
March, 2020.

The Town would like to note the
passing of John Law. John was active in the
community and served on the Planning
Board and Public Safety Building
Committee. His presence and service to this
community will be profoundly missed.
�As we roll into 2020, 2019 had a lot of activity for the department. Officer Danielle Morin graduated the Police
Academy in December of 2019. Officers continue to be trained for progression and diversity in the agency in hopes of
positive officer morale and retention. We also hosted active shooter training in conjunction with SAU 61 at the Valley
View School. This is something that we hope we never have to use, but is necessary to be prepared in this day and age.
Officer Antoinette Webster has been assigned as the SRO and is working well with the schools.
We continue to promote many forums on recovery from addiction and continuing to work on Law Enforcement
Assisted Diversion (LEAD) to divert adults who suffer from addiction to get them immediate help. All parties involved in
the case must agree that this is the best course of action including the victim. Education of families and assisting people
that are suffering from drug addiction continue to be a paramount goal. Getting people to be positive members of society
cuts down on crime and promotes their good self-worth.
Our older cars in the fleet still are the 2007, 2012 and 2014 Dodge Chargers. We will be researching a new
cruiser this spring in 2020, to replace one of the older cars with more than 120,000 miles on the odometer. This is paid for
with the detail fund at no costs to the taxpayer.
We still have a drug take back box in the lobby of the Public Safety Building. It is available 24 hours a day for
disposal of unwanted prescription medications. Stop by the lobby for more information.
As we continue doing our own prosecution work I am very pleased with the results. Providing a good service that
is constantly in touch with the victims of misdemeanor and violation level crimes to get them restitution and making sure a
fair and reasonable disposition is reached for all. This also provides progression for the officers and a way for them to see
their cases through from start to finish. It makes our officers better investigators and teaches them a great deal more on
how to reach a successful conclusion to a case.
The Public Safety Building is now nearly 3 years old and doing very well. We continue to give tours of the
building and other towns are trying to copy it. We continue to host many trainings and meetings in the emergency
operations center bringing a savings to the Town by not having to send officers out of Town.
Statistically this year: Total reported offenses were about the same as 2018. Subcategories: Crimes against
persons was down by 4%. Crimes against property were down by 6%. Crimes against society were up by 3%. Motor
Vehicle Stops were up over 35% from 2018. Arrests were down by about 17% from 2018 with 315. Traffic Accidents
were down by about 13% with 124. Driving under the influence was down this year with just 9 arrests. The officers had a
very busy year with about 10,272 calls for service in 2019. We were still able to accomplish many goals, such as
increasing traffic enforcement and community policing all while being shorthanded as much as 3 officers for some of the
year. We only had one officer leave the agency to return to the private sector this year for a family owned business. Two
officers utilized FMLA for the birth of children and we congratulate the additions to their families.
It is a privilege for us to serve the Town of Farmington, but please remember YOU the Citizens of Farmington are
our eyes and ears. Report anything you feel is unusual or suspicious to the agency at (603)-755-2231 or in an emergency
just dial 911. Several residents this year did so, resulting in the arrest of some wanted people that were casing homes to
burglarize them. Fortunately people called and we got some nasty people arrested and off our streets.

John (Jay) P. Drury

�2019 Public Works Highway Department Report
Ernie Morgan, Bob Gay, Gary Rogers, Will Cardinal, Eric Elliott,
John Radcliffe and Aly Giovanelli
Gary Rogers (Public Works Director) and Will Cardinal (Public Works Crew Leader) have worked
industriously to preserve the infrastructure of this beautiful town and lead the team of hardworking
individuals at the Public Works Department. In January 2019, an Assistant to the Director was added to
the staff, Alicia Giovannelli allowing for more project delegation, community communication, and
efficient tracking over many aspects of the department. Working in unison, they have dutifully continued
their efforts to deliver extraordinary public service and preservation of our municipality. The crew in its
entirety has been hard at work through all seasons and weather to guarantee safety and proper revitalization
under their wide array of umbrella tasks. Through the planned as well as emergency situations they were
faced with, they further proving to be a reliable and vital resource for the town’s infrastructure.
In 2019, the Highway Department consistently worked to maintain and enhance our roadways,
drainage infrastructure, as well as bringing our Cocheco Levee into acceptance by the Army Corps of
Engineers. There was a lot of work done to achieve this goal and the team worked tirelessly to ensure
that deliverables were met.
For 2020, we are looking to place attention to repaving the roadways on Ten Rod Rd as well as part of
Meaderboro Road. We will still look to maintain the proper grading process as needed to maintain the 18
miles of dirt roads in our town. We are still using a liquid magnesium chloride which has proved since
its implementation to be both cost and durably effective.
Sidewalks in this town are in need of attention and the department has budgeted to start to tackle this
initiative. It will be an ongoing, but valuable project to start reviving the walkability as well as safe
travels for our community. We want to be part of the regeneration in the downtown area, bringing
both the beauty and safety to a higher standard. We have a quaint little town, which is in need of repairs
and upgrades and we are devoted to seeing this happen, little by little as our resources allow for.
Ten Rod Road experienced our focuses same as last year in regards to the shim process on this roadway.
This practice was put into place to provide a more level surface for travelers on this heavily engaged
thoroughfare. This method helps to act as a filler to gaps that are subject to wear.
�2019 Public Works Highway Department Report
This is very cost effective for this location, as it will help prolong the life of the road, while keeping the
costs associated with maintenance at a minimum.
Some of our guardrails are in need of updating and/or replacement. This is another initiative that the
department will be scheduling for the spring season. We have some areas in focus that are on the docket
to be proactive in, focusing on upholding continuity and preventing accidents/dangers before they arrive.
Meetinghouse Hill Rd, for example will have an update as that curve where the existing not compliant
guardrail, is not up to code to ensure safety of our travelers and will be upgraded to avoid unforeseen
circumstances. Again, this will be an ongoing initiative, to ensure that the department takes all steps to
protect all who travel into our town lines.
This past summer, of 2019, we installed proper drainage with a culvert installation on School St, which
has proved to be valuable to the area. We have noticed the area to be less impacted through the seasons
with the build up of water in the roadways -creating a safer area for both the foot and vehicle traffic. We
have worked to maintain the drainage systems in town, reducing the damage to the roads and hazards to
traffic. This effort w i l l c o n t i n u e in 2020, with replacement of some catch basins and culverts.
For the Winter season, The Public Works Department spent a noteworthy portion of our manpower during
this time working nearly nonstop at times, to guarantee safe passage for our travelers. Our largest expenses
came from a series of storms in January that followed into February which ended up being our most
expensive month for as salt (351 yds), sand (730 yds), and mix (254 yds). It was necessary to consistently
be treating and clearing the surfaces during this storm period to ensure public safety. We do not strive to
maintain bare roads, as in temperature fluctuations with varying precipitation, this is actually unsafe. We
leave a coating of snow on the roadways when rain is coming with temperatures set to drop, this confirms
that the roadway will not become a sheet of ice, allowing for our treatments to stick and allow for gripping.
The Town Highway Garage has been drastically impacted with our ability to maintain our aging public
works fleet, with the change of our small vehicle maintenance outsourcing. We have been successful in
tackling larger maintenance tasks with new available resources at hand. We are looking to update our
mature fleet in the near future as it has proven through the maintenance program that was implemented in
2019 that some of the vehicles have been consistently in for repairs and accumulating excessive expenses.
Replacing the failing vehicles in the fleet will further the department’s efficiency and capability to
properly service the town’s needs.
We once again look forward to further growth and in-depth methodology in the coming year, working
to expand our expertise on processes in place as well as undertaking any that come our way, and surpassing
the previous expectations of the responsibilities under the Highway Department’s expansive responsibilities.
Respectfully Submitted,
Gary Rogers,

�2019 Public Works Transfer Station Report
Thank you to everyone who came by and utilized the
Transfer Station in 2019. We had a great year for refuse
and recycling and have added one part time position to the
staff to accommodate the growth in frequency. Our
Transfer Station manager, Pete Spencer has done a
brilliant job making sure to keep our costs as low as
possible, but utilizing the cans to their fullest extent.
Along with his team, he has kept the space clean,
organized, and efficient which has definitely made a large
positive impact.
Our community transfer station, runs as what you would
call a pay-as-you-throw program (also known as unit
pricing or variable-rate pricing), which means residents
are charged for the collection of municipal solid waste—
ordinary household trash—based on the amount they
throw away. With our using of the PAYT program, the
residents are charged a fee for each bag or pound of
waste they generate, depending on what is being
disposed of. Either way, these programs are simple and
fair. The less individuals throw away, the less they pay.
Steve Rutherford, Pete Spencer, Allan Makowski
Regular household trash bags are currently $1.50 per clear 33-gallon bag, anything larger than that size
requires two stickers. Bulk, construction or demolition items, need to be weighed on our calibrated
scale and cost $0.08 per pound (example: 12.5 lbs. = $1.00). You drive to the scale, meet with the
attendant, weight gets recorded, you empty the vehicle and once again return to the weigh scale for final
weigh and payment processing. Cash and checks are currently accepted payments, the facility does not
have credit card processing capabilities at this current time.
Please note that cat litter is not accepted mixed with regular household trash. It needs to be in a separate
bag or bucket so that the waste can be properly disposed of. Sharp items, for example hypodermic
needles will only be accepted for refuse if it is accepted by an attendant, in a sealed container and labeled
with cautionary regarding its contents.
The Transfer Station, has created a space to the right of entry, past where debris is collected, there
is a composting pile. This is mixed and cared for with pride, for the free gathering of our residents use
in their home gardens. This is a mixture of dry leaves, table scraps, wood chips, and other materials
that are cleanly compiled to make a great garden feeder. Please help yourself, if you so wish.
The sale of scrap metal helps offset the cost of transfer station maintenance. Please make sure that
you are throwing only metal items in the scrap metal dumpster. No electronics are allowed, and many
appliances are mostly plastic and should not be placed in the scrap metal dumpster.
If you’re unsure of any items you are looking to dispose of please ask a transfer station attendant – they
are a wealth of knowledge and are delighted to help with any of your questions or needs.

Gary Rogers, Public Works Director

�2019 Water and Wastewater Reports
Jason Forbes, Steve Belanger, Chuck Tiffany, Paul Cameron, Steve Deinstadt
Water Department: In 2019, the Water Department completed several upgrades all while causing
very little disruption to residents’ water usage. On Hickory Court we replaced over 300 feet of the
old 2-inch galvanized water main with new stock up to residents’ curb gates. We also installed a
new yard hydrant at the end of the Street. Four other outdated fire hydrants were replaced with
new hydrants in various locations in Town. These new hydrants will better serve the Fire
Department and the Town residents.
Other projects in 2019 included the installation of a new Telemetry System for wells 4, 5 & 6. This
upgrade transformed the system from a telephone line to a cable line. Several leaking water mains,
hydrants and services line were repaired. We also replaced eight emergency curb gate services and
five main gate boxes that were in disrepair. We are very close to completing the new water meter
exchange.
The Water Department was awarded a grant From New Hampshire Department of Environmental
Services for a complete Water Leak Detection Survey on 100% of the Town’s water mains and
hydrants at zero cost to the taxpayers.
Over the course of the year the Town used 95,346,000 gallons of clean, safe, drinking water from
our 2 primary water wells. We continue to work with groundwater consultants Emery & Garrett
Groundwater Investigations, LLC, towards the replacement of Well #4.
Wastewater Department In the past year, the Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) treated
over 88 million gallons of wastewater collected by the Town sewer system. 175,208 lbs. of
suspended solids (97.8%), 185,379 lbs. of biological oxygen demand (97.5%), 30,022 lbs. of
nitrogen (98%), and 4,105 lbs. of phosphorus (78.9%) were removed from the wastewater before
�2019 Water and Wastewater Reports
the treated water was then discharged back into the ground as groundwater recharge. 618,980 lbs.
of wastewater solids (sludge) was disposed of at a cost of $46, 046.69. Additionally, 1,034,100
gallons of septage from Farmington and surrounding communities were received and treated at the
WWTF.
The Farmington Wastewater plant is still partnered with New Hampshire Environmental Services
(NHDES) on a pilot program to try and reduce the cost of phosphorus removal at Wastewater
Treatment Facilities (WWTFs). Phosphorus in water leaving WWTFs can cause out of control
algae blooms and other harmful effects on rivers and streams across the state. Traditionally,
chemicals have been added to wastewater in order to remove the phosphorus before it gets to the
rivers and streams. Through the partnership with NHDES, we are hoping to learn how to operate
our WWTF in such a way that the microorganisms (bacteria, etc.) that remove the other stuff in
wastewater will also start removing the phosphorus. If we can get the microorganisms to do the
work for us, that could potentially save WWTFs across the state many thousands of dollars each
year in chemical costs. So far, results have been promising and we look forward to continuing to
work with NHDES in 2020. Also, in 2019 the Wastewater Department replaced all seven of the
old worn out sewer manholes going down the whole length of NH Route 75 (Elm Street.) prior to
paving by the State of New Hampshire Department of Transportation.
We look forward to continue serving the residents of Farmington in 2020 by maintaining your
water treatment and distribution system and wastewater treatment plant.

Charles Tiffany
Water Wastewater Superintendent
�2019 Welfare Department Report
The Welfare Department has continued to strengthen its partnership with other local agencies to
provide care and on-going services for clients. The Town has seen some sharp increases in rents,
which has put people in some tight positions. The Welfare Department has worked with clients
and landlords to keep families in their homes or to find affordable housing when needed. We
have found permanent housing for 3 families that had been staying in local shelters and provided
assistance to more than 40 Farmington families/households.
The Welfare Department strives to find alternatives and provide assistance that is unique to each
situation.

in towns and cities which adopt the provisions of this section in the manner set out in RSA 76:15-b. A partial payment of
the taxes assessed on April 1 in any tax year shall be computed by taking the prior year's assessed valuation times 1/2 of
the previous year's tax rate; provided, however, that whenever it shall appear to the selectmen or assessors that certain
individual properties have physically changed in valuation, they may use the current year's appraisal times 1/2 the
previous year's tax rate to compute the partial payment.

DRA has provided a reference range of fund balance retention amounts below. Please utilize these ranges in the
determination of the adequacy of your municipality’s unrestricted fund balance, as currently defined in GASB Statement
54. Retention amounts, as part of the municipality’s stabilization fund policy [1], should be assessed dependent upon
your governments own long-term forecasts and special circumstances. Please note that current best practices published
by GFOA recommend, at a minimum, that “…general purpose governments, regardless of size, maintain unrestricted
fund balance in their general fund of no less than two months of regular general fund operating revenues or regular
general fund operating expenditures.” [2],[3]
[1] The National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting (NACSLB), (1998), Framework for Improved State and Local Government Budgeting: Recommended Budget Practices (4.1), pg. 17.

�Greetings from your GOODwin Library!
The Goodwin Library had another great year with focus on our patrons, programs and services as well as much needed
improvements to our collections and building.
Many of the changes in the last few years were taken with the deliberate intention of improving our services while
tightening our belts without sacrificing quality of our many programs, outreach and initiatives.
This year many physical improvements were made to the building, most importantly an ADA accessibility lift,
located across from the Adult Circulation desk, to the Community room directly above. We can now hold programs for all
in this beautiful space that has been underutilized for years!
Other improvements include Installation of a mini-split in the Community Room, and cleanup of the library grounds
including starting a pollinator garden dubbed “Butterfly’s Garden”.
We also started assessing our storage needs and have plans in place to maximize what little space we have. More on
this next year!
The STATISTICS below reflect the patron usage and demand of Goodwin Library for the year 2019:
●
Cards Created (includes renewals) – 799
●
Circulation of materials – 29,664
●
Money patrons “saved” by checking out items
at the library - $ 342,011.02 * Cost of materials if purchased
●
Reference Questions – 4,551
●
Computer Use (sessions) – 3,443 (633 Children’s lab and 2810 Adult’s lab)
●
Number of Programs -34 programs/187 sessions (115 Children’s/Teen sessions, and 72 Adult sessions)
●
Program Attendance – 6,240 (4,670 Children’s/Teen, and 533 Adult)
In addition to maintaining patron services, the library staff worked diligently to enhance our programming and outreach to
our patrons and the community. All of our programs are free and open to the public.
Programming HIGHLIGHTS:
● One-on-One Computer and Device Classes: Due to the diversity of technology needs in the community, the
library continues to provide one-on-one computer or device training to patrons. Appointments are required.
● Community Cinema: Each month the library invites the community to view (mostly) newly released movies. We
provide the popcorn; you provide the camaraderie and laughter!
● Homesteaders: This monthly program focuses on teaching skills that range from gardening to ice cream making,
or a make and take craft. Many local donations of materials, as well as time, keep our costs low.
● Polar Express Event: A much anticipated and beloved community event. We celebrate the magic of
Christmastime through stories, caroling, hot cocoa and yummy baked goods, as well as a craft to take home
● Story-time Sessions: Reading aloud to children enhances their vocabulary and improves their ability to read. The
group setting can also help children develop social skills. Our librarians engage the children with age appropriate
read-aloud stories, songs, crafts and activities.
● 1000 Books before Kindergarten: A nationwide early literacy initiative to encourage parents and caregivers to
read aloud to children. We offer incentives for levels of completion up to and including achieving 1000 books read!
● Summer Reading Program: The library hosts a free Summer Reading Program (SRP) for youth and families to
encourage reading year-round. It is our biggest event of the year! We received two grants: The Kids, Books and
Arts (KBA) grant that helped us to bring children’s musician, Mr. Aaron, to perform at our SRP kickoff and the
Children’s Literacy Foundation (CLiF) Summer Reader’s Grant, which allowed us to host storyteller Simon Brooks
and award 2 brand new books to each child who attended. We are extremely grateful to area businesses who
donated prizes that were awarded to participants who met their reading goals.
● “Little Free Libraries” project has expanded to 12 locations around town. Be on the lookout! Donated books are
labeled, and sent off to the various locations. Over 2,000 found new homes this year!
● Other popular programs included Messy Art Night, Book Groups and the newly relaunched Knitting/Crocheting
Group.
Other HIGHLIGHTS:
• We participated in Henry Wilson Middle School STEM night, HWMS Health and Wellness Fair, Valley View Open
House, Rec. Department Pumpkin Festival, Family Day, and Trick or Treat Parade, and hosted 3rd grade visits
(where the children get to tour the Museum as well) to encourage children to use our library.
• We received a telescope from the NH Astronomical Society (lendable)
• We completed our picture book project creating “neighborhoods” that group picture books by topic.
• Staff training highlights: Youth Mental Health, Mother Goose and Yoga Story Times, STEAM workshop, Early
Literacy/Early Learning, and Using Social Media for Libraries.
• Hosted 2 TRRE interns (Teacher Residency for Rural Education) throughout the summer!
• Families with children going into kindergarten were presented with an opportunity to attend our “Kindergarten Meet
and Greet” and all homeschoolers were invited to attend our “Home-school Meet and Greet”.
�The Friends of the Goodwin Library fundraisers benefit the Library and thus, our patrons! The Friends purchase items
or provide services our budget does not cover. In 2019 our Friends group funded several passes that offer free or
reduced rate entry for our patrons; They also funded Poet’s Tea prizes, Heritage Quest genealogy database, and our
Movie License! Our Friends group also generously provided delicious baked goods for several of our events.
The Friends seek new members! For more information call the library at 755-2944, option 2 or stop in!
We are able to provide these and many more programs and services only with the support and participation of the people
and the community of Farmington, as well as area businesses, town departments and nonprofits including: Farmington
Police and Fire, Farmington School District, Farmington Historical Society, New Hampshire State Library, Rochester Area
Librarians, UNH Cooperative Extension Service, VITA Tax Prep, ServiceLink, Goodwin Community Health, Community
Action Partnership, FCC Food Pantry, Barnes and Noble, Crowley’s Variety, Studley’s, Butternut Farms, Piscataqua
Landscaping, and many more!

Back Row: Logan Barrett, Tami LaRock, Patience Taylor, Joyce White
and Moriah Saddler. Missing: Linda Seaward, Lindsay Bolton.
The Goodwin Library is presided over by a Board of Trustees with a constitution and bylaws dating to the 1890’s.
Although the Trustees govern, manage, and have custody of the library, it is primarily supported financially by the Town of
Farmington. Therefore, the Goodwin Library strives to provide quality services and resources to the community, while
cautiously spending and using the funds available in a responsible manner. The library is able to do this because of staff
teamwork, volunteer hours, support of the Friends group, donations by local businesses and updated processes and
procedures; all of which contribute to increased efficiency.
The library proves to be a valued institution in the Town of Farmington, so the Goodwin Library appreciates the support for
past years and the years to come by the Selectmen, Budget Committee, and the community.
In closing, the Goodwin Library would like to extend an invitation to all people who live, work, or own property in
Farmington to visit us and sign-up for your free library card. For more information, please stop in or contact us at
603.755.2944 or circulation@goodwinlibrary.org. We are open M/F 10am to 5pm, T/R 2pm to 8pm, and Sat 10am to 2pm.
On behalf of staff and myself, we look forward to welcoming all new and returning patrons into the library family, and invite
the public to come “Check us out!”
Looking Forward,
Tami A. LaRock, Library Director.

�We deeply appreciate the Town of Farmington’s ongoing support of Cornerstone
VNA, your local independent nonprofit visiting nurse association serving Strafford,
Belknap, Carroll and Rockingham Counties in NH and York County in ME. Being
mission driven, we are committed to bringing services to people of all ages regardless of their ability to pay, so that
families can stay together at home, even when facing the challenges of aging, surgical recovery, chronic or lifethreatening illnesses or end of life care. We provide advanced care at home through five programs: Home Care,
Hospice Care, Palliative Care, Life Care-Private Duty, and Community Care.
With an increasing number of people receiving care at home, no matter the degree of their illness, the level of skill
needed to care for patients is very important. As a result, Cornerstone VNA continues to invest in certifying our
clinicians and providing advanced technology, such as Telehealth, to meet the needs of our patients. Although our
industry is faced with ongoing challenges due to changing payment models, the aging population and the shortage of
health professionals, funding from local towns helps Cornerstone VNA continue serving residents while working to
meet those challenges. We are pleased to highlight several accomplishments and achievements over the past year:
•
•
•
•
•
Most notable has been the growth of Palliative Care, a program that provides specialized medical care for people
with a serious illness, with a focus on providing symptom management and patient education. Although
Palliative Care is underfunded, Cornerstone VNA believes in this program because it provides improved quality of
life and decreases the need for emergency room visits or re-hospitalizations. A third Nurse Practitioner was
added in 2019 to meet the growing demand for this important program.
Our Hospice and Palliative Care Director, Kelly Doherty, RN-C, MSN, ARNP-BC, ACHPN, successfully achieved
Certification in Hospice and Palliative Care for the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse. Ms. Doherty is one of
only twenty certified palliative care nurse practitioners in the State of New Hampshire.
To further support family caregivers, we added a third monthly Caregiver Café in Alton, which is in addition to
our Caregiver Café groups that meet at the local libraries in Farmington and Newington.
In 2019, over 60 volunteers gave 6,000+ hours of their time as balance coach, companion, pet companion, senior
companion, caregiver café facilitator, outreach, event, board, office, pet peace of mind, and hospice volunteers.

Article 05.
New Pumper/Tanker Fire Truck (By Petition). To see if the Town will vote to authorize
the Selectmen to enter into a long-term lease-purchase agreement for 5 years, for an amount not to
exceed the sum of $620,000 (Six Hundred and Twenty Thousand Dollars) for the purpose of leasepurchasing a Pumper/Tanker Fire Truck and necessary fire equipment. Funding is to come from general
taxation. (By Petition) (2/3 Ballot Vote Required)
Selectmen Recommend: No (0-5)
Budget Committee Recommend: No (2-7-1)
Estimated Tax Impact: Unknown
Mr. Morin read Article 5, a motion to approve as read was made by Jodi Connolly and seconded by
Penny Morin. Bruce Manchester made a motion to amend the article to “To see if the town will
authorize the select board to enter in to a five-year lease agreement for an amount not to exceed
$520,000 for the purpose of leasing a Pumper/Tanker Fire Truck and all necessary equipment for the
Fire Department and to raise appropriate the sum of $108,680 for the first year’s payment for this lease.
This lease agreement contains an escape clause. Town attorney, Kerri Roman stated that the forgotten
“Raise and Appropriate” in this amendment, invalidates the entire article, if added, because it was
forgotten in the original warrant and to add it changes the purpose of the warrant. She also stated that
if this passes without the raise and appropriate, it would authorize the board to enter in to the
agreement and the raise and appropriate would be handled the next year. She explained that with large
amounts like this, the lease agreement’s first payment is not due until the following year. With this
recommendation, Moderator Mike Morin, asked Bruce Manchester if he would like to amend his
motion, Mr. Manchester agreed. The moderator reread the motion that now only dropped the amount
by $100000 and the escape clause and then asked if there were a second on the floor. The motion was
seconded by Kayla Morin.
The Town Attorney believed that the amendment of an escape clause would cause the 2/3 vote not to
be necessary. She asked for a short recess to discuss this. After the recess and a discussion with the
attorney, Bruce Manchester offered a friendly amendment to remove the escape clause sentence,
leaving just the reduced money requested to $520,000. Kayla Morin agreed to accept the change.
Discussion ensued and when all questions were answered about why the select board originally were
against this and now are for it and what benefit the new truck will give the town for water availability,
Tim Brown made a motion to call the question, Jodi Connolly seconded the motion. The motion passed
by a show of cards vote to call the question. The motion to accept the amendment passed by a show of
cards vote.
2
�Some discussion ensued on what the tax impact will be as well as questions on why a petition warrant
article was done and why it was not discussed during the Budget Process. With all questions answered,
the moderator opened voting at 7:55pm. Voting closed at 8:57.
The result of the ballot vote on Article 5, as amended, was Yes 85, No 48.
The motion failed by 4 votes to get 2/3rds necessary.
A motion to restrict reconsideration on Article 5 was made by Neil Johnson and seconded by Elizabeth
Johnson. The supervisors counted cards: 56 Yes, 63 No. The motion failed.
Town Attorney, Kerri Roman explained that if we vote to reconsider Article 5, it must be reconsidered at
least 7 days from now in a special meeting, no new vote can be taken tonight.
Tim Brown made a motion to reconsider Article 5, seconded by Penny Morin. Discussion ensued, Paula
Proulx wanted to remind voters that this article would be advisory only. Manny Krasner asked Paula
Proulx if she is saying that the truck will be bought next year anyway. Paula Proulx stated yes. Tim Brown
asked if the select board may still decide to enter into a lease agreement as long as the first payment is
not until next year and a warrant article is passed to raise and appropriate the funding next year. The
answer was yes. David Kestner stated that you have already been given the will of the voters because
the article failed 2/3rds vote. He states this is wrong. Tim Brown posed a question to town council, Kerri
Roman asking if because the 2/3rds vote failed, does this fall under the no means no rule. Kerri Roman
said no, because there is no raise and appropriate. A motion to call the question was made by Kayla
Morin, seconded Jodi Connolly. Motion passed by a show of cards vote.
Tim Brown withdrew his motion to reconsider Article 5 based on the previous discussion, Penny Morin
agreed to withdraw her second of the motion. No vote was taken to reconsider.
Article 06.
SCBA lease. To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Selectmen to enter into a 5year lease purchase agreement in the amount of $239,466.00 for the purpose of leasing thirty-four Scott
Air-Packs, which are self-contained breathing apparatus with accessories, and to raise and appropriate
the sum of $53,736.33 for the first year’s payment for that purpose. This lease agreement contains an
escape clause. An escape clause allows the Town to return the equipment if the funding is not available.
(Majority vote required).
Selectmen Recommend: Yes (5-0)
Budget Committee Recommend: Yes (9-0)
Estimated Tax Impact: .00 for 2019
.14 for 2020

�Moderator Mike Morin read Article 6. There was a motion to accept the article as read by Steve Henry
and seconded by Elizabeth Johnson. Discussion opened with Charlie King asking how many packs there
are. Town Administrator, Arthur Capello, answered with 34. Penny Morin asked if there is there a plan
to replace packs on a rotating schedule going forward. Arthur Capello stated that there is a CRF for it,
they do not want to replace on a rotating schedule because it would waste years of use of the current
packs. Steve Henry explained that all are expiring at the same time because all were bought with grant
money at the same time. Samantha Place stated that the CRF is to save money so the town can buy
again at bulk rate when they are expiring. Martin LaFerte asked if this is approved tonight, is this all said
and done tonight or will this come forward again for the next 4 years. Arthur Capello explained tonight is
the only vote, it will be part of the operating budget. If there is no money, then an escape clause allows
them to send them back. Linda McElhinney stated that last year $15000 was put in the CRF fund. What
was that used for and how much is in the fund? Arthur Capello stated that there was $40000 in the fund,
but it cannot be used for the first year’s payment, it can only be used for the last year’s payment. Diane
Ficco asked where the will money come from. Arthur Capello said there is no money due this year. The
first payment is not due until next year. With no further discussion, a vote was taken and the motion
passed by a show of cards vote.
A motion to restrict reconsideration of Article 6 was made by Neil Johnson, seconded by Ann Titus and
passed by a show of cards vote.
Article 07.
Operating Budget. To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the Budget
Committee recommended sum of $6,943,076 for General Municipal Operations. This article does not
include appropriations contained in special or individual articles addressed separately.
Selectmen Recommend: Yes (5-0) Budget Committee Recommend: Yes (9-0)
Estimated Tax Impact .30
Mike Morin read Article 7. A motion was made to accept Article 7 as read by Jodi Connolly and seconded
by Elizabeth Johnson. With no discussion, a vote was taken and the article passed by a show of cards
vote.
A Motion to restrict reconsideration of Article 7 was made by Neil Johnson and seconded by Elizabeth
Johnson. The motion passed by a show of cards vote.
Article 08.
(By Petition)
KENO (By Petition). Shall the Town allow the operation of Keno games within the Town?
Selectmen Recommend: Yes (5-0)
4
�Article 8 was read by the moderator. A motion to accept the article as read was made by Jodi Connolly
and seconded by Elizabeth Johnson. Discussion began with Blanche Tanner asking if Keno is the only
funding for Kindergarten. Superintendent Ruth Ellen Vaughn responded that Farmington has received
Keno-Garten funding for 2 years and now there is actually a movement to remove Kindergarten from
Keno. Budget Committee member, Samantha Place, stated that Keno is a good source of income for
businesses in Farmington and that she goes out of town to play, so Keno would bring new business to
town. Samantha also stated that the town would receive money from rooms and meals tax from Keno.
Steve Henry stated that at the beginning of this meeting we pledged to a flag to allow people to have
their own choices, why not approve it. Angie Cardinal asked why this has to be a ballot vote, Kerri
Roman quoted RSA 284:51 subparagraph 1. Voting was done by ballot. Yes 92, No 18. Article 8 passed.
Article 09.
Solar Exemptions (By Petition). To see if the Town will vote to amend the exemptions
adopted pursuant to RSA 72:62 via Article 4 at the March 9, 1983 Town Meeting to read "The Town
votes to adopt the provisions of NH RSA 72:62 which provides for an exemption from the assessed
value, for property tax purposes, for persons owning real property which is equipped with solar energy
system as defined in RSA 72:61. Such property tax exemption shall be in the amount equal to 100% of
the assessed value of qualifying solar energy system equipment under the statute." (By Petition)
A Motion was made by Erin Zayak to accept the article as read and seconded Jody Connolly. Discussion
began with Jeffrey Grazulis speaking to the article stating that by giving 100% solar exemption it allows
people the freedom to break away from electric companies. Budget Committee member Charlie King
asked how will this affect commercial solar farms? Town Attorney, Kerri Roman referred to RSA 72: a
town can allow exemptions for residential, solar arrays must use a PILOT. Since Farmington already does
this, there is no affect. The more revenue that is generated from the Solar Array, the higher the PILOT.
Several residents spoke to buying solar panels within the past few years and are upset to think it will
now change, one resident wanted to know why she never received an exemption, Town Clerk/Tax
Collector, Kathy Seaver, explained that many years ago when the exemption was introduced, the
amount was $5000 and at the time that was about the same value that would be added to the
assessment, so it was a wash. They agreed to not assess the value of the panels unless someone applied
for the exemption. With discussion ending, a show of cards vote was taken and Article 9 passed.
Article 10.
Optional Fiscal Year in Farmington (By Petition). Shall the Town of Farmington adopt a
fiscal year that begins July 1st and ends June 30th and furthermore authorizes the Selectmen and the
Budget Committee to produce an 18-month budget for that purpose under the provisions of NH RSA
31:94-a.
During the time differences, the Town of Farmington operates without an approved operating budget
during the months of January, February, and part of March. If the voters of Farmington adopt the
provisions of RSA 31:94-a this March, the 2019 fiscal year will remain unchanged. For the years 20205
�2021 the Town may budget receipts and expenditures, raise and appropriate revenues, and assess taxes
on the basis of a single 18-month accounting period starting January 1, 2020, and ending June 30, 2021.
Thereafter, the Town shall operate all fiscal affairs on the basis of a 12-month accounting period starting
July 1, 2021. (By Petition)
Selectmen Recommend: No (0-5)
Moderator Mike Morin read Article 10 and then stated that he will recuse himself from moderating this
article. Manny Krasner was already sworn in as assistant Moderator and was asked to moderate this
article. A secret ballot request was handed to Mr. Krasner by Penny Morin. He called the names on the
list and all were present. The names were: Penny Morin, Mike Morin, Stan Freeda, Kyle Leach and Joyce
White. Penny Morin motioned to accept the article as read, it was seconded by Kayla Morin. Mrs. Morin
stated that it came to her attention that the town was having a cash flow problem starting in August of
2018. She also stated that the town’s MS-535 is due to DRA in April but if they change to the optional
fiscal year, the MS-535 would not be due until Sept. Neil Johnson addressed the voters to explain that
according to DRA, if this article passes, 18 months of budget would have to be paid for in a 12 month
period. The town tax rate would increase by approximately $4 per thousand. There are contracts coming
up that would also affect the tax rate. Mr. Johnson also stated that only 2 times have taxes been due in
January in 44 years, those years are 2008 & 2018. Steve Henry shared that in his 13 years on the budget
committee he has seen the challenges putting together a budget so far in advance puts on the school,
why would we put this on the town when it is not necessary? It is not a good solution to the revenue
issue. Mike Morin stated that the town could move the Election to April or May instead of snowy cold
March. He also mentioned that the MS-535 is due April 1st, this year it was turned in Oct 31st. Paula
Proulx reiterated that the town does not have a cash flow problem and that the only time there has
been is if the rate is not set on time so tax bills are not mailed out timely. Ms. Proulx also explained that
the town does not spend much money between Jan – March. Until the budget is approved, they only
pay payroll and necessary expenditures. The Town Clerk explained that the town cannot have an April
election like Mike Morin said, unless they become SB2, but they could have it in May. She also said that
the School could have theirs in April and have a separate election but it is not a profitable solution.
Charlie King spoke and is opposed to changing to the optional fiscal year. He has been on town
committees for years and stated that the board does not have any issue managing money. Angie
Cardinal read from RSA 24:15 stating that the town of Farmington cannot expend money Jan – Mar that
has not been appropriated (however if you read the RSA, it reads very differently than was read by
Angie Cardinal and pertains only to Counties). Town Council, Kerri Roman, quickly cited RSA 32:13 II that
states In towns with a March annual meeting and a January through December fiscal year, the
Municipality is allowed to spend between January 1 and the date a budget is adopted on items that are
reasonable in light of prior year’s appropriations and expenditures for the same purposes during the
same time periods. Steve Henry asked if this passes if there will there be separate elections for school,
town and then separate meetings? Penny Morin said, no, it’s a chance for the two to work together.
Angie Cardinal then asked for a breakdown of the unexpended fund balance that is receivables. Arthur
Capello stated that it changes daily but consists of uncollected taxes, uncollected water/sewer, Code
Enforcement liens, interest on any outstanding balances, etc. Jodi Connolly motioned to call the
question, it was dully seconded. Penny Morin removed her name from the list of secret ballot
requesters. Neil Johnson presented a new list for secret ballot, signed by Neil Johnson, Paula Proulx, TJ

Mr. Morin read Article 11 and then asked the governing body if they would allow a non-resident land
owner who is the author of the petition warrant article permission to speak? A motion was made by Bill
Cameron and seconded by Elizabeth Johnson. With no discussion, the motion passed by a show of cards
vote. A motion to accept the article as read was made by Elizabeth Johnson and seconded by Steve
Henry. Candid Arcidy asked if the selectmen will change their vote based on new information received
from her? The Select board spoke to say they would all recommend to accept the road. After much
discussion on the process and quality of the road and how the acceptance of the cistern next year would
affect the acceptance of the road, the final question was to be sure that Candid Arcidy as the property
owner will sign off so that there will be no payment of “damages” for property lost for the town taking
over the road. It was stressed that the new process and standards were followed by this property owner
to get this road accepted by the town. With no further discussion, Article 11 passed by a show of cards

Article 21 was read by Mr. Morin. A motion was made to accept the article as read by Kathy King and
seconded by Jodi Connolly. Discussion began with Linda McElhinney stating that she heard in a budget

future vehicles or other Fire Department needs. Linda McElhinney then asked if Fire Chief Reinert would
respond. Chief James Reinert said the money is needed for the second payment on cardiac monitors on
ambulances and portable radios. Martin Leferte stated that it says to appropriate $40000 with money to
come from ambulance billing, but what happens if there is not $40000 in ambulance billing? Arthur
Capello stated that an average of $300,000 - $350,000 is taken in each year from ambulance billing, and

about how the Capital Reserve Fund works. Steve Henry explained that $100,000 has come in since

Incorporated: 1798
Origin: This town started as West Parish, a portion of Rochester that included several large farms.
Those farms were separated from Rochester in 1798 as Farmington, a reference to the area's
fertile farmland. It was also known as Farmington Dock because its location on the Cocheco River
was an ideal spot for sawmills. Those sawmills expanded into shoe-making factories, one of the
first places to use automated shoe-making machines instead of handwork. One Farmington
resident known in the shoe trade was Jeremiah J. Colbath, who, after changing his name to Henry
Wilson, was elected Vice-President under Ulysses S. Grant.
Villages and Place Names: unknown
Population, Year of the First Census Taken: 1,029 residents in 1800

1970 and 1980, followed by a 23 percent
increase over the next decade. The 2015
Census estimate for Farmington was
6,825 residents, which tied with Plymouth,
ranking 46th among New Hampshire's incorporated cities and towns.
Population Density and Land Area, 2015 (US Census Bureau): 186.9 persons per

�2018 Board of Selectmen
Chairman’s Report
Seated left to right: Paula Proulx, Ann Titus
Standing left to right: David Conolly, Neil Johnson, TJ PLace
Whew... what a busy year! As always, the Department Heads and the Town
Administrator have done an excellent job trying to keep our expenses as low as possible. In
years where extra revenue is hard to come by, the only way to maintain a healthy budget and
manage your bottom line is to be creative. Much time and effort goes into the research of
anything we purchase to make sure this happens. I would like to thank my fellow Selectmen
for the commitment they made to meet every week, instead of every other week, to make sure
we could take advantage of every opportunity possible. In the next few paragraphs, I will touch
on a few of the areas that we have dealt with this year.
House Keeping... This year was the year that we reviewed, revised and updated the
Employee Handbook. This document holds all the personnel policies and procedures that
concern the workplace and protect the rights of employees and employer. Employee job
descriptions were reviewed and updated to reflect the tasks expected for each of the jobs.
Lastly, the Board undertook a wage study to make sure that the Town could stay as competitive
as we possibly could to help with the retention of good employees. This is a balancing act. We
try to do the best we can, while remaining fully aware of the Towns' ability to pay.
Personnel ... We had many changes this year. Jason Gagnon resigned at the end of
February, which left the Highway, Transfer Station, Water and Wastewater Departments
without a director. The Board decided that this could be an opportunity to reconstruct personnel
assignments. We hired Gary Rogers as Director for the Highway and Transfer Station
Departments. Chuck Tiffany stepped up from his position with the Highway and Water
Departments to take the Director' s position for Water and Wastewater. Steve Deinstadt, who
has operated our wastewater plant for years, stepped up and went for his level 4-wastewater
certification. Because these individuals agreed to accept these new responsibilities, the Town
�2018 Board of Selectmen
Chairman’s Report
saved endless money in consultation fees and potential oversight by the N.H. Department of
Environmental Services.
Communication ... Several Board discussions centered on this subject. We wanted
to attempt to find a better way to get "factual" information about important issues to residents.
We updated the Farmington Website to make it more user friendly and to allow mobile access.
We voted to create a Facebook Page that would allow people to get information that they know
is correct and reliable. Still feeling that we could do more, we held our first "Whistle Stop".
The Whistle Stop is a form of "meet and greet" where residents can come and speak (informally
without a meeting room and cameras) to all the Selectmen about issues that concern them. Stay
tuned, we will try to have them as often as we can.
Projects... One of the projects that we have been working on concerns the replacement of all
the water meters in town. After Town Meeting granted permission to apply for the Drinking Water
State Revolving Fund loan, we delved in to make this happen. With the approval of the Towns'
application, we sent out installation bids, held a Public Hearing, and had discussion on billing rates.
The installation of new meters should begin shortly. Another project in motion is one that
concerns the possible revitalization of the downtown area and redevelopment ideas for the
old firehouse area. Through the Plan New Hampshire Grant, UNH has been facilitating
meetings and helping the planning department to pull together ideas and a course of action
to revitalize the downtown area through outreach to town residents. This will prove to be
valuable information as we move forward with the update of the Master Plan that is
underway. On the Warrant this year, is a request for permission to participate in a TAP Grant.
This grant is a N.H. Department of Transportation Alternatives Program grant that requires
the Town to match 20% while the grant pays the other 80% of the amount needed for the
project. The project to begin the revitalization of the downtown is in draft form and will be
solidified if the warrant is passed and the grant is awarded to the Town.
Updates... We had anticipated the construction to begin on the solar gardens this
year, but some issues on their end slowed down their progress. We have been assured that
everything is back on track, permits are in place and that they are ready to start construction
sometime this year. The Board worked diligently to place 10 outstanding tax deeded
properties back on the tax rolls. By finding buyers for these properties, we gained
approximately $712,000.00 in additional taxable property value (thank you for the numbers
Neil).
I would like to take a quick minute to thank all the Town Staff, volunteers who willing
give their time, the rest of my board who put in endless hours and the residents of Farmington
who allow us to serve them.
Respectfully submitted,
Paula Proulx, Chairman

2018 Town Administrator’s Report
Arthur Capello
It has been a very busy 2018. I would like to thank the residents of Farmington again for allowing us to build the
Public Safety Complex. As we approach our first full year of occupancy, we have seen many dividends. It has
helped with recruitment of police officers as well as allowed us to start a student live in program on the fire side.
Some the other projects we had undertaken in 2018: We received a grant from Plan NH to look at ways to
revitalize the downtown area. We are currently looking at many options. We have enlisted the help of the UNH
Cooperative extension. We are in the process of upgrading our email system. We completed the LED street
light project saving the taxpayers several thousand dollars a year.
The Town is always looking for ways to save the taxpayers funds while also improving the Town. In 2019, they
Fire Department Self Contained Breathing equipment (SCBA) expires and needs to be replace. The Fire Chief
was about to secure a deal that will save the residents $70,000 on the purchase.
I look forward to an exciting 2019. Please feel free to stop in any time. My door is always open.
Respectfully submitted,
Arthur Capello, Town Administrator

�2018 Assessing Department Report
The Assessing Office is responsible for ensuring equitable assessments, which distribute the
Town’s tax burden in accordance with New Hampshire statutes. Assessments are based on the
fair market value of property, and are applied in a fair, equitable, and consistent manner. The
Town of Farmington contracts Avitar Associates of Chichester, NH to provide assessing
services, and administrative duties are performed by the assessing clerk who is a town employee.
Abatements: If you disagree with your property’s assessed value, you may file an abatement
application after the final notice of tax (2nd bill in December) and prior to March 1st.
Credits and Exemptions are processed in the Assessing Department. The deadlines and basic
criteria are as follows:
Veteran’s Credit: Must meet applicable dates of service, have been
honorably discharged & a NH resident for one year prior to application. Requires DD214. D
Elderly Exemption: Must be 65 years of age prior to April 1st & a NH resident for at least three
years. Must meet income and asset limits. Single applicants cannot have more than $30,000 in
gross income; married applicants cannot have more than $50,000 in gross income. Applicants
may not have more than $75,000 in assets. Application deadline: April 15th
Other Exemptions: The Town of Farmington also has an exemption for the blind, as well as
an exemption for solar and wood-heating systems. Contact the office for more information.
Current Use Program. The NH Current Use Program went into effect in 1973. The Town of
Farmington has over 250 properties enrolled in this program. Under Current Use, the land is
assessed at its present use rather than its highest potential use, enabling landowners to keep their
open space lands undeveloped. When land comes out of Current Use, a penalty is imposed. At
this time, 100% of the Current Use penalties collected go to the Conservation Commission. If
you have any questions about the Current Use program, please contact this office.
Online Assessing Data. One of the benefits of our assessing software is the ability to view
assessing data online. The website can be accessed through the town’s website on the Assessing
Department’s page. Log in as an Anonymous User, click on the Town of Farmington, and you
will be able to search property values in town.
Property record cards can be viewed and printed from the public computer provided in the
Selectmen’s Chambers. I would also be happy to email a card to you or drop one in the mail if
that is your preference. I would encourage every taxpayer to request a copy of their property
record card to help us ensure that our information is accurate as it pertains to your property.
Tax maps are available here in the office, or can be viewed and printed from the town’s web
site. New in 2018 is the availability of GIS maps which you will find on our website.

2019 TOWN-WIDE STATISTICAL UPDATE (REVALUATION)
The Town of Farmington’s last municipal-wide Revaluation was done in 2014. New Hampshire’s
State Constitution (Part 2, Article 6), requires that municipalities take “values anew” at least once
every five years. In accordance with NH state law, the Town of Farmington has contracted with
Avitar Associates to complete a Statistical Revaluation.
PHASE 1: MARKET ANALYSIS JANUARY – MARCH 2019
A variety of resources are used to analyze the real estate market. Assessing personnel will be
analyzing qualified sales that took place over the last year to determine which market factors
influenced property values.
PHASE 2: VALUATION JANUARY – MARCH 2019
Valuation is done using one of the three recognized methods: Replacement/Market Cost Approach,
Income Approach and Sales Comparision Approach. The Sales Comparison is the most widely
used approach. During this phase, individual characteristics of the building are analyzed using
information gathered in Phase 1. Each property is compared to other comparable properties with
similar characteristics. Then the market value of the improvements is added to the land value that
was previously determined. This value is the final estimate for each parcel of property, building
and land.
PHASE 3: FIELD REVIEW APRIL 2019
Field Review is the method of checking and re-checking both the values that have been determined
and the data for accuracy. During this review phase, properties are viewed in the field by
experienced assessors who double-check for uniformity and accuracy of information. Personnel
will visit each qualified sale property that took place since April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019
and inspect the exterior and interior of the property. The data collector will have proper
identification and a listing of name and vehicle information will be available in the Farmington
Assessor’s Office or Farmington Police Department. Avitar Associates will also gather and use
information from the Strafford County Registry of Deeds, property managers, developers, and
local real estate professionals. Once all the data is collected and reviewed for accuracy, the
assessor will determine land and building rates.
PHASE 4: INFORMAL HEARINGS MAY-JUNE 2019
Once the Field Review is completed, a preliminary notice of new values will be mailed to each
property owner. At this time, anyone with questions concerning the revaluation process, about the
�2018 Assessing Department Report
data on their property, or their assessed value will have an opportunity to meet with a member of
Avitar Associates staff to discuss their property value.
After all four phases are completed, all data, files, records, etc. used in the revaluation are then
turned over to the Assessor’s Office, and the Town will maintain the data on a continual basis.
In conjunction with the work to be done by Avitar Associates, the State of New Hampshire
Department of Revenue Administration (DRA) will also be conducting field reviews of certain
Farmington properties. Randomly chosen properties will be identified by DRA, and owners will
be notified in advance for that review process.
If you have any questions during this process, please feel free to contact the Farmington Assessor’s
Office at 755-2789.
Thank you for your assistance during this important process.
Contact Info for the Assessing Department. I am in the office Monday – Friday from 8:00 am
to 5:00 pm. Assessor is available by appointment. Phone: (603) 755-2789. Email:

Greetings Farmington 26 viewers, Viebit viewers and residents of said Town.
Another year has come and gone and on demand viewership has gone from 16,000 views up to 39,000. Next year
more? The most popular choices for online viewing are Budget Committee and The Board of Selectmen Meetings
both competing for the top spot.
The "First in the State" technological solution between the Town, Metrocast, and TDS permitting the live
broadcasting of the School and Town channels simultaneously over both the Metro cast and TDS cable networks
is now working after ironing out a few glitches.
New equipment installs (sound system, projector, screen, etc.) in the Rec. center are finally done except for a few
tweaks.
Last years mentioned music show has gotten off to a slow start, but there a number of shows in the can and should
be aired soon.
Live broadcasts are now being done from time to time from the Public Safety Building.
Also, it is possible to do live remotes from anywhere.
This coming year FCTV 26 is going to do some updates on equipment and software that is quickly becoming
technologically outdated.
DVDs of the meetings are still available for viewing at the Goodwin Library for now
but that technology is quickly going the way of 8 tracks. You can still watch fctv26. Vibit.com. Bulletin Board
applications are available at the town website:
www.farmington.nh.us.

The members of the Farmington Fire & Rescue Department continue to be dedicated professionals that
serve the residents and visitors of Farmington. With their dedication, we responded to 1210 calls for service
in 2018, of those calls 717 were EMS related and the remaining 493 were fire related. In July we changed to
Quick Med Claims to handle all collections for our ambulance billing and we received $245,971.29 in total
revenue.
We took delivery of our new Osage Ambulance that was built by Bulldog Fire Apparatus, as well as our
new Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). All current members have completed intensive in-service
training for both the ambulance and SCBA’s, they are now in service and ready to assist the community.
We continue to be proactive within the community as we do so much more than respond to calls for
service. Over the past year the department has conducted life safety inspections in 107 different buildings,
this includes 322 individual residential units, 16 oil burner inspections and 3 residential foster care
inspections. We invited the students from Valley View Elementary School to the new public safety building
during Fire Prevention Week. We were able to interact with over 300 students and provide them with
valuable lifesaving information that they are able to take home to their families. A total of 597 seasonal
campfire and brush permits were issued throughout the calendar year. We held numerous CPR classes free of
charge to the taxpayers and have 58 new residents certified in valuable life saving techniques.
The dedication from all of the fire department members resulted in 25,835 man-hours worked and
3,729.25 training hours. We still have several big projects that must be addressed in the next few years which
include the replacement of two fire engines and a second ambulance. These are all vital to our mission in
protecting the residents and their property here in Farmington. As we move forward I will continue to work
with the Board of Selectmen to help plan a fiscally responsible plan to help fulfill that mission.
I would like to personally thank all of the residents for their continued support during the previous year, it
does not go unnoticed. We at the Farmington Fire & Rescue Department strive to produce a professional and
dignified resource to all of those that require our services.

Youth Programs:
School Year Programs:
The After School Program for children in grades K-6 continues to be popular with parents and students.
This program runs the entire school year; participants are picked up at the school by Recreation Staff and
brought to the Recreation Department to participate in a variety of games, sports, crafts and special
activities. Our department is always researching new ways to promote exercise and healthy living to the
children in Farmington. We are looking forward to trying new things in the spring of 2019.
In addition to the After School Program the Recreation Department runs February and April Vacation
Camps. These camps attend a trip each day and lunch is included in the cost of the week. Some of the
trips include: bowling, swimming, Blitz and Hilltop Fun Center.

Summer Programs:
The Recreation Department offers a Grades 1-6 Summer Camp. Campers attended 2-3 trips each week
to state parks, pools and other attractions. During the “in house” days children spent time playing games
and doing crafts organized by Recreation Staff. Camp ended its summer with a trip to the Funtown/
Splashtown in Saco, ME where they spent the day going on rides.
Pictured above are Summer Camp Participants at Wallis Sands State Park in Rye, NH.
The Recreation Department continued its Counselor in Training (CIT) program this year. Children age 13+
were eligible to apply for three open positions in which they worked with Recreation Staff planning and
implementing summer programs on a volunteer basis. Each CIT had to complete an application, go
through an interview process and once hired become certified in American Red Cross, First Aid and CPR.
The goal of this program is to teach teenagers responsibility and to train future Recreation Employees.
Children interested in applying to be a CIT the summer of 2019 should contact the Recreation Department
in May.
�2018 Farmington Parks & Recreation Report
Adult/Senior Programs:
In 2018 our Adult/Senior Programs consisted of 31 trips and activities in addition to 55+ Bingo on
Wednesdays. Some of the trips that were offered were to: the Fryeburg Fair, Foxwoods, plays at the
Winnipesauke Playhouse, shopping trips and Lunch Bunches. The Recreation Department hosted three
holiday meals (April, November & December) following 55+ Bingo. The meals consisted of sandwiches,
soup ham, turkey, and all the fixings you would anticipate from a holiday meal; including desserts!!
The Recreation Department is excited to announce beginning January 7, 2019 its conference room will be
open Monday’s and Thursday’s 10:00am-1:30pm (subject to availability) for adults 55+ to play games, do
crafts, or just socialize and have coffee with their peers. Admission is free, donations will be accepted.
Acknowledgments:
The Recreation Department is very grateful for the efforts of the Recreation Advisory Committee (Jo
Kenney & Meredith Tuttle) for their work to fund the Hay Day Fireworks through fundraisers and
donations. In addition to fundraising for the fireworks, members of the Recreation Advisory Committee
assisted us in planning and implementing our community events. The Recreation Department with the
help of the Recreation Advisory Committee is in the process of planning fundraisers to fund the fireworks
in 2019.
Another group that again went above and beyond this year for our community was Grace Community
Church (GCC). On Wednesday evening’s during the winter months’ members of GCC serve free meals to
the community in the Recreation Department’s Gym.
I would also like to give a special thank you to all the businesses and organizations that continuously
support our department through sponsorships and donations. Without your support, we would not be
able to provide the quality programs and events that we do.

�2018 Police Department Report
2018 had a lot of activity. Officer Molly Shoer graduated the Police Academy and Officer Sean
Leach returned to work full time with us. At the end of 2018, Sergeant Matthew Embrey was
promoted to Lieutenant, Detective Jonathan Langley was promoted to Sergeant and Officer
Zachary Frye was assigned to Detectives. Officers are being trained for progression and
diversity in the agency in hopes of positive officer morale and retention.
We continue to promote many forums on recovery from addiction. Along with the Dover
Police Department we are working on the Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) to
divert adults who suffer from addiction to get them immediate help. This is the first time this has
been done in New Hampshire. The project has done well across the country and began on the
west coast. All parties involved must agree that this is the best course of action including the
victim. Education of families and assisting people that are suffering from drug addiction
continue to be a paramount goal.
Our older cars in the fleet are the 2007, 2012 and 2014 Dodge Chargers. We are looking
forward to getting a 2019 Ford SUV cruiser this spring to replace one of the older cars with more
than 110,000 miles on the odometer. This is paid for with the detail fund, at no costs to the
taxpayer.
We received a Federal Grant for the School Resource Officer in 2017 one of only 3 Towns in
the State. This offset an average of over half the costs, over the 3 year grant for the Town and
Schools saving up to $125,000.00. We also received a grant for a drug take back box. It is
located in the lobby of the Public Safety Building and is available 24 hours a day for disposal of
unwanted prescription medications. Please stop by the lobby for more information. We now are
doing our own prosecution work. By taking back this service from the County we are able to
pass a cost savings on to the Town, provide a good service that is in touch with the victims of
crimes and also to work with LEAD Diversion. This also provides progression for the officers
and a way for them to see their cases from start to finish.
The Public Safety Building is now 2 years old and doing very well. It has won several awards
for ICF Construction and we continue to give tours of the building. We have painted a few of
the walls in the building and continue to work to keep it looking like new. The McCarthy trail
was dedicated and it is a safe place to walk the nice scenic mile+ loop at the Public Safety
Building. We have hosted many trainings and meetings in the operations center bringing a
savings to the Town by not having to send officers out of Town.

2018 Police Department Report
�2018 Public Works Report
Gary Rogers (Public Works Director) and Will Cardinal (Public Works Crew Leader) have worked
diligently to maintain the hardworking Public Works Department in their continued effort to deliver
exceptional public service and maintenance of our public infrastructure. The crew has been meticulously
working to ensure the safe travels for all four seasons, proving to be a reliable resource for the town’s
infrastructure.
Highway Department
In 2018, the Highway Department consistently worked to maintain and enhance our roadway and
drainage infrastructure. A majority of our focus was based on Chestnut Hill Road, where we chip sealed
the entire roadway, this measure was taken to ensure the integrity of the roads and further conserve the hard
work from the prior year. This chip sealing is done to keep water from penetrating the road structure on
the paved surfaces of the roadway. The crack sealing from the prior year, 2017 was further strengthened
with this process. Bay Road and Ridge Road were also in need of the same maintenance. Bay Road was
chip sealed from the sewer to Main Street. Ridge Road received the same care to ensure the integrity of
the pavement would last.
John Radcliffe, William Cardinal, Keith Hussey, Eric Elliot, Alicia Giovannelli,
Robert Gay, Ernie Morgan, Gary Rogers, Matthew Hay
For 2019, we will need to see a few days’ worth of work dedicated to the conservation of the roads as
well, in the form of crack sealing. Meaderboro Road will need to have time allotted for work to be done to
crack seal both Hornetown Road to the New Durham line and then the lower end of the road to the Rochester
line. Spring Street will need to have this same crack sealing preservation completed to retain the road ways
strength. Taking these measures will ensure that the tiny cracks in the road will not be as rapidly affected
as water is less able to penetrate the cracks. When the temperatures drop and the water freezes, it expands,
causing the cracks to widen. As the water within the now widened crack thaws, the traffic that continues
to pass over will smash the surface and create pot holes, which will cause further deterioration of our
roadways.
Due to the high traffic on Bay Road, the road conditions call for an asphalt overlay to be completed this
year from sewer joint to the bridge overlay. This method of applying a new layer of asphalt to the
deteriorating surface, will use the existing layers as the base to reinforce the existing surface. This will help
�2018 Public Works Report
us to preserve the existing asphalt for an extended period of time, avoiding the heftier cost of repaving the
roadway. In 2017 Bay Road was reclaimed and base paved, with the intentions of this top coat maximizing
the life of this high traffic area and our investment.
In 2017 there was a change to the process of grading and maintaining Farmington’s 18 miles of dirt
roads. As previously reported, we have switched to a liquid magnesium chloride using a vendor who also
was able to supply the equipment necessary to apply the liquid ourselves at a lower cost than using the
outside contractor. The grading crew has been very diligent in refining our process in 2018 to reduce dirt
road maintenance time and expenses while successfully providing a more resilient, less dusty road surface.
We look to further hone this in 2019 and have already seen a substantial reduction in expenditures in this
area.
Ten Rod Road experienced our focuses in the implementation of the shim process on this roadway. This
practice was put into place to provide a more level surface for travelers on this heavily engaged
thoroughfare. This method helps to act as a filler to gaps that are subject to wear. This is very cost effective
for this location, as it will help prolong the life of the road, while keeping the costs associated with
maintenance at a minimum.
In 2017, we worked on Silver Street to reclaim and base pave Silver Street. The drainage upgrades that
were made have maintained the integrity of the road, serving their purpose of helping to limit any future
pavement damage due to poor drainage. We have successfully taken the next step, in laying a 1 ½ layer
top coat on the road, to seal the completed work.
For 2019, we plan to reclaim and base pave Governors Road. This process is a where the full depth of
asphalt and a predetermined portion of the underlying materials, are uniformly pulverized and blended
together to produce a stabilized base course on which to pave. This is one of, if not the, “greenest”
construction processes currently available for paving. By reconstituting the existing asphalt, and
converting it into processed stone in-place, reclaiming eradicates costly truck moves and hauling expenses.
It also repairs worn out and failed base problems underneath the asphalt, essentially resetting the clock on
your existing asphalt, which is the most lucrative approach. Waldron Road will receive a top coat over the
entire road, which will improve the bond between pavement layers, improve the strength of the pavement,
and reduce surface-course sliding as well as reduce top-down cracking.
Winter 2018 was kicked off in mid-November with snow falling causing precautionary travel into the
beginning of December. The Public Works Department spent a noteworthy portion of our manpower and
during this time to spread sand and mix on the roadways to guarantee safe passage for our voyagers. Our
largest expenses came right at the end of the year, the 28th being that salt, sand, and mix were necessary to
be applied regularly during this storm maintenance. From there, we were led into 2019 with relentless ice,
rain, snow, and refreeze targeting our roads – keeping our crews busy nonstop with the challenge of
combating a weather system working against our efforts.
The Town Highway Garage has been drastically impacted with our ability to maintain our aging public
works fleet, with the change of our small vehicle maintenance outsourcing. We have been successful in
tackling larger maintenance tasks with new available resources at hand. We have hired a new secretary in
2019, for the Highway Department, which will help to organize our past and present deliverables for
tracking and reporting – as well as allow the director more time to focus on field work tasks at hand. The
secretary has been utilizing our new Innovative Maintenance Systems, which will help track all of the
functions and costs associated with running the garage’s long list of responsibilities. Therefore, being able
to provide clean reporting on each vehicle for further cost analysis.

Transfer Station
Thank you to everyone who uses the transfer station for a great 2018. We have received
mostly positive feedback on the switch to our hours of operation – Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and
Monday, 8 AM – 3:45 PM and hope this schedule has helped
make it easier for everyone to use these services
This year, Farmington residents disposed of 529.8 tons of trash,
315.16 tons of recyclables, and 962.27 tons of demolition
and/or bulky waste. Our recycling rate was 32.7% - that is,
32.7% of our trash was recycled instead of ending up in a
landfill. Recycling reduces the amount of waste sent to
landfills and incinerators and conserve and prevents pollution
but reducing the need to collect new materials and increases
economic security by tapping a domestic source of materials.
After collection, recyclables are sent to a recovery facility to be
sorted, cleaned, and processed into materials that can be used
in manufacturing. Recyclables are bought and sold just like raw
materials would be, and prices increase and decrease depending
on supply and demand in the United States and the around the
world.
Recycling is not only better for the environment – it also
saves you money. To help keep waste disposal costs at a
minimum, we ask that all residents using the transfer station
please follow the rules for recyclables. Acceptable recyclable
materials are limited to:
• Plastic labeled (no Styrofoam)
• Tin cans
• Aluminum cans / foil
• Glass – all colors
• Paper (not coated)
• Cardboard
Pete Spencer and Al Makowski
The sale of scrap metal helps offset the cost of transfer station maintenance. Please make sure
that you are throwing only metal items in the scrap metal dumpster. No electronics are allowed,
and many appliances are mostly plastic and should not be placed in the scrap metal dumpster. If
you’re unsure, please ask a transfer station attendant – they would love to help!
We look forward to further growth and in-depth methodology in the coming year, working to expand
our expertise on processes in place as well as undertaking any that come our way, and surpassing the
expectations of the responsibilities under the Highway Department’s expansive umbrella.

�2018 Water and Wastewater Report
Jason Forbes, Steven Belanger, Charles Tiffany, Paul Cameron, Steven Deinstadt
Water Department
2018 was a year of transition for the Water Department. Jason Gagnon left to pursue a career
at the North Conway Water Department. Charles Tiffany was promoted to Water Wastewater
Supervisor. He earned his Grade 2 Water Treatment and Distribution License and continues to
advance his licenses. Steven Deinstadt earned his grade 4 Wastewater Treatment Plant License
and became Chief Operator of the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Department hired Jason
Forbes to work for the Water Department and Steven Belanger to assist in the Wastewater
Treatment Plant. Paul Cameron saw his 31st year working for Town of Farmington.
There were very little disruptions to the drinking water supply in 2018 while many upgrades
were completed. The new water main at the Main Street Bridge Replacement was completed and
fell within budget. There were two new fire hydrants installed to improve water flow. The
Department continues work on a new telementery system for wells #5 & #6 with most of the
upgrades for the telementery systems completed in 2018. The Towns 1 million NatGun Water
Storage Tank was cleaned and inspected. The Town’s pressure reducing vault was cleaned,
calibrated, and inspected along with the water flow meters at all the Town well houses. We
replaced the ageing VFD drive at Well #6 and outfitted the well houses at well’s #5 & #6 with
more energy efficient lighting. The Water Departments aging F250 was replaced with a new GMC
2500 work truck. Over the course of the year, over 95 million gallons of clean, safe drinking water
were produced from the two primary drinking water wells; that’s more than 261,000 gallons per
day on average.
�2018 Water and Wastewater Report
On a related note, we continue to work with the Town’s groundwater consultant, Emery &
Garrett Groundwater Investigations, LLC. They were able to identify three potential new sources
of groundwater to replace Well #4. In 2019, additional testing will occur at these sites and an
economic analysis will be performed to determine which potential new well site best fits the
Town’s needs and budget,
The Water Department completed its asset management program for the water system
infrastructure in 2018 and has started the new water meter installation program where we secured
a low interest loan/grant from the NH Department of Environmental services. We look forward to
the year 2019 with the many more upcoming improvements to your water treatment and
distribution system.
Wastewater Department
In 2018, the Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) treated over 87 million gallons of
wastewater collected by the Town sewer system. 174,468 lbs of suspended solids (96.9%),
185,655 lbs of biological oxygen demand (97.4%), 30,022 lbs of nitrogen (96%), and 3,865 lbs of
phosphorus (71.5%) were removed from the wastewater before the treated water was then
discharged back into the ground as groundwater recharge. 687,100 lbs of wastewater solids
(sludge) was disposed of at a cost of $41,375.40. Additionally, 1,192,785 gallons of septage from
Farmington and surrounding communities were received and treated at the WWTF.
The Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) personnel have partnered with New Hampshire
Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) on a pilot program to try and reduce the cost of
phosphorus removal at WWTFs. In a nutshell, phosphorus in water leaving WWTFs can cause
out of control algae blooms and other harmful effects on rivers and streams across the state.
Traditionally, chemicals have been added to wastewater in order to remove the phosphorus before
it gets to the rivers and streams. Through the partnership with NHDES, we are hoping to learn
how to operate our WWTF in such a way that the microorganisms (bacteria, etc) that remove the
other stuff in wastewater will also start removing the phosphorus. If we can get the microorganisms
to do the work for us, that could potentially save WWTFs across the state many thousands of
dollars each year in chemical costs. So far, results have been promising and we look forward to
continuing to work with NHDES in 2019.

�2018 Welfare Department Report
The following statistics show expenditures for 2018:
Electric
Burial/Cremation
Motel
Homeless Shelter
Rent
Total Expenditures
$591.81
$1,500.00
$1,454.00
$1,775.00
$11,476.00
$16,796.81
The Welfare Department has continued to partner with other local agencies and was able to
cut Motel costs by over $5000. We were able to provide more shelter spaces and work with families
before evictions occurred. In 2018 we made a big push to get families in sooner to apply for rental
assistance, rather then waiting until they are 2-3 months behind. This has led to an increase in
rental assistance; however it has also helped to keep many families in their homes and out of
homelessness. We have had great opportunities to partner with other programs to provide some
wrap around services for families in need and hope to continue expanding those collaborations.
Homelessness continues to provide some issues in the area. The County has opened an Extreme
Weather shelter in Dover for all county residents. The shelter is opened when the weather is
determined to be unsafe and extreme. The Coast bus has been providing free transportation to the
shelter when it is open. This is a great chance for people who refuse or are unable to get into shelter
to stay warm during the harshest conditions. There have been conversations about opening another
seasonal shelter in the near future.

Final Overlay

DRA has provided a reference range of fund balance retention amounts below. Please utilize these ranges in the
determination of the adequacy of your municipality’s unrestricted fund balance, as currently defined in GASB Statement
54. Retention amounts, as part of the municipality’s stabilization fund policy [1], should be assessed dependent upon
your governments own long-term forecasts and special circumstances. Please note that current best practices published
by GFOA recommend, at a minimum, that “…general purpose governments, regardless of size, maintain unrestricted
fund balance in their general fund of no less than two months of regular general fund operating revenues or regular
general fund operating expenditures.” [2],[3]
[1] The National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting (NACSLB), (1998), Framework for Improved State and Local Government Budgeting: Recommended Budget Practices (4.1), pg. 17.

�2018 Farmington Budget Committee
The Farmington Budget Committee has worked diligently to oversee the
finances of the Farmington School District and the Town of Farmington. The
Budget Committee members are a group of Farmington Citizens willing to take
on a job that many shy away from.
RSA 32, also known as the Municipal Budget Law clearly defines the duties
of the Budget Committee in overseeing the budget for the Town of Farmington
and the Farmington School District.
“WOW” and what a year it has been. Although we traversed some difficult
moments over the course of the year, the goal of working together as a team is
forefront in our minds as we move forward.
I thank you the citizens of Farmington on behalf of the Farmington Budget
Committee for supporting us and allowing us to serve you.

Farmington Budget Committee

�2018 Conservation Commission Report
Seated: Chairman Laura Bogardus, Standing left to right: Tom Sorenson, Bill Fisher, Ann Titus, Randy
Orvis, Michelle Elbert
The purpose of the Farmington Conservation Commission is to protect and promote the Town’s natural
resources and to protect the watershed resources of the Town, while fulfilling the mandates of RSA 36-A.
Community outreach has been a focus for 2018, with the Commission hosting a number of forums
discussing topics ranging from what a Conservation Commission does to Vegetable Gardening to
Beekeeping. The Commission also hosted Spring and Fall Cleanups, with 26 volunteers helping to clean
Meetinghouse Hill Road, Cocheco Road, River Road and Paulson Road of 1,340 pounds of trash.
The Commission was once again able to sponsor a student from Henry Wilson Memorial School to
attend the Barry 4-H camp in Berlin, NH. Students who wish to be sponsored are to write an essay stating
why they would like to attend the camp and, when they return, participate in the Commission’s Hay Day
booth with a display about their time at camp. This year’s participant was very enthusiastic about his
experience and did an excellent job on his presentation.
The Farmington Conservation Commission continues to maintain its conservation properties and
improve on the hiking trails established in the past two years. This year involved starting a trail maintenance
program, including securing volunteers for trail maintenance. The town currently has three properties with
public trails- the French property on Hornetown Road, the Town Forest on Bay Road and the McCarthy
Trail on Main Street behind the Public Safety Building. It is an ongoing project to maintain and improve
these properties and keep them enjoyable for all. The Commission welcomes any volunteers to these
projects.
The Commission looks forward in 2019 to adding to the McCarthy Trail, hosting numerous forums
and continuing to reach out to our Farmington community to protect our natural resources for generations
to come.
The Conservation Commission meets in the Municipal Office Building at 6:00 pm on the second
Wednesday of each month, with the exception of March. New members, or alternates, are always welcome,
as well as two seats available for student volunteers.
Respectfully submitted,
Laura Bogardus, Chair
�Appreciation of Martin Laferte
On behalf of The Town of Farmington, The Board of Selectmen would like to express appreciation
for the many years of dedicated service Mr. Martin Laferte has unselfishly donated to the Town.
Martin’s unwavering contribution and connection with several town boards have been a true
testament to his commitment and enthusiasm for the overall well-being and future path of this
great town. Martin has been a valued and respected resident for over 25 years, committed to the
residents of Farmington.
Martin pictured with the 2018 Planning Board: David Kestner, Bill Fisher,
Bruce Bridges, TJ Place, Stephen Henry, Charlie King and Richard Pelkey
Martin sat on multiple boards; Economic Development Board, Capital Improvement Board,
COAST Bus Board and the Strafford Regional Commission for the last 5 years. During his time
on the Strafford Regional Board, Marty was instrumental in bringing forward the Clean Engine
Diesel Grant. The information provided helped the town secure a grant for a new front-end loader
for the Public Works Department, resulting in a $40,000 savings to the residents of Farmington.
In great fondness the entire Planning Board would like to thank you for your diplomatic time and
efforts spent on the Board. Your dedication and perseverance haven’t gone unnoticed. The Town
will miss your wisdom and practical contribution to the Planning Board’s mission to develop and
improve all aspects of our beautiful town.
�2018 Trustees Letter
Joseph Pitre, Emmanuel Krasner, Debra Reed
In January of 2018 the Trustees decided to change the investment of the funds to generate
a higher rate of interest earned on the money held in trust for the Town. All of the money had
been in regular savings accounts that earned a very low rate of interest. Working with the staff at
TD Bank we learned that we could combine funds and move them into CD’s that would earn a
higher rate if interest. We did that with several of the permanent funds. We staggered the terms
so that if interest rates went up we could move to a new CE with a higher rate. In the coming year
we will extend that practice to all the permanent funds, and work with the Selectmen and the
School Board to place some of the money held in Capital Reserve Funds in short term CD’s to
earn more interest until they need to be drawn on.
Respectfully submitted,
Emmanuel Krasner, Chairman of the Trustees.
�Farmington Residents:
COAST continues to see a strong demand for our services. During our FY2018 (Oct. 1,
2017 – Sept. 30, 2018) COAST provided just over 4,000 passenger trips in the Greater
Seacoast. COAST offers an affordable, convenient and efficient way for individuals to
access their jobs, education, medical services and commerce. Public transit, COAST, is
an important part of your community and provides an essential service for thousands of
the region’s residents.
In FY2018, the COAST Route 6 bus service, connecting Farmington and Rochester,
carried 22,497 passengers. This represented the third highest ridership count ever
recorded and only 657 riders fewer than FY17’s record ridership.
COAST continues to see some of the strongest growth on our system in our federally
mandated van services for individuals with disabilities. These demand responsive
services, which can provide up to door-to-door service under the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), are for
people who can not utilize
the fixed-route bus system
due to a functional limitation
or disability. The growth in
this part of COAST’s
operation is a function of
New Hampshire’s “silver
tsunami” of aging adults, a
growing awareness of the
services we offer and
downshifting of state supported services (& costs) to regional and local
communities/providers. In FY18 COAST provided 518 rides to residents in Farmington
who qualified for this service. This represented a 104% increase in rides provided on this
service.
The continued success and growth of COAST and public mass transportation statewide
in New Hampshire is indicative of the growing importance of this and other alternative
modes of transportation to our residents and local businesses. The top three reasons for
riding COAST, and public transit, are for work, school and to access commerce. Public
transit provides affordable access to employment opportunities, education/job training
and the ability to shop local, both critically important to our local and regional economies.
Public transit only exists through the public’s recognition that it is an important
component of the overall set of services that we support in our communities. Public
transit, with a low fare to ride (e.g. $1.50), does not pay for itself through user fees,
regardless of how many passengers are carried. COAST routes, despite all of our
tremendous success, have farebox recovery ratios ranging from 64% to less than 10%.

�The fare to ride public transit is low to be affordable for anyone to take advantage of and
utilize on a frequent basis. There is a public benefit to this. Without community-based
public transportation options; (1) many of our region’s residents would have extremely
limited or no access to employment opportunities, healthcare and basic services, (2)
some area employers would have a harder time attracting and accessing employees, (3)
family transportation expenses would be much higher, (4) more disabled and elderly
individuals would be unable to continue living independently in their own homes, and (5)
our streets would be more crowded.
COAST is a public, non-profit transit system that relies primarily on federal and local
government support to operate. For complete information on routes, schedules, services
and how to plan a trip using COAST, please visit our web site at www.coastbus.org.

�Greetings from your GOODwin Library!
The Goodwin Library had another great year with focus on our patrons, programs and services at the center.
We are blessed to retain a core of dedicated staff members: Amy Cornwell as Assistant Director, Joyce White as
Children’s Supervisor, Kayla Morin as Children's Services-Programming and Inter-Library Loan Librarian.
Other staff members: Morgan Barrett, Pam Groat, Patience Taylor and Susan Blum are involved with many library
functions such as: circulation duties-patron maintenance, Inter-library loan support, collection maintenance, cataloging,
researching items to add to our collection and weeding of underused or damaged items, as well as monthly emergency
equipment inspections, etc. Our Page, Moriah Saddler fills in the gaps of routine collection maintenance by shelf reading,
locating items for Holds/ILL’s, weeding, shelving items and generally helping out where needed!
Last, but certainly NOT least, Linda Seaward-a former staff member-returned to be our Custodian in mid-2016. Linda has
year’s long experience in this field and goes above and beyond to keep our building looking great.
Many of the changes in the last few years were taken with the deliberate intention of improving our services while
tightening our belts without sacrificing quality of our many programs, outreach and initiatives.
As a reminder we now have a Notary Public on staff who will notarize your documents for free or willful
donation. Appointments are encouraged, but not necessary. No Notary services available in the last half hour of the day.
Also, staff members have been certified in CPR and the use of an AED device. All staff members have completed
“Crowd Manager Training”, which certifies us to have more than 50 congregants at a program.
The library witnessed increases in most statistical categories for the year 2018 The STATISTICS below reflect the patron
usage and demand of Goodwin Library for the past year:
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
Cards Created (includes renewals) – 1,034!!!
Circulation of materials – 31,786
Money patrons “saved” by checking out items
at the library - $ 355,387.97 * Cost of materials if purchased
Reference Questions – 5,750
Computer Use (sessions) – 4,297 (1151 Children’s lab and 3146 Adult’s lab)
Number of Programs -196 total (121 Children’s/Teen, and 75 Adult)
Program Attendance - 5,203 total (4,670 Children’s/Teen, and 533 Adult)
In addition to maintaining patron services, the library staff worked diligently to enhance our programming and outreach
to our patrons and the community. All of our programs are free and open to the public.
HIGHLIGHTS:
● One-on-One Computer and Device Classes: Due to the diversity of technology needs in the community, the
library continues to provide one-on-one computer or device training to patrons. The subject of these classes ranges
from basic computer use to selling online and more. Appointments are required.
● We hosted FREE Federal income tax preparation and Low Income Homeowners Tax Relief filings through the
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, who provide these services.
● Community Cinema: Each month the library invites the community to view (mostly) newly released movies.
We provide the popcorn; you provide the camaraderie and laughter!
● Homesteaders: This monthly program focuses on teaching skills that range from gardening to ice cream making,
or a make and take craft. Many local donations of materials, as well as time, keep our costs low.
● Polar Express Event: A much anticipated and beloved community event. We celebrate the magic of
Christmastime through stories, caroling, hot cocoa and yummy baked goods, as well as a craft to take home.
● Story-time Sessions: Reading aloud to children enhances their vocabulary and improves their ability to read. The
group setting can also help children develop social skills. Our librarians engage the children with age appropriate
read-aloud stories, songs, crafts and activities. Story-time groups are hosted once a week for six weeks and are
currently offered in the winter, spring and fall. Pre-registration is required.
● 1000 Books before Kindergarten: A nationwide early literacy initiative to encourage parents and caregivers to
read aloud to children. We offer incentives for levels of completion up to and including achieving 1000 books read!
● Summer Reading Program: The library hosts a free Summer Reading Program (SRP) for youth and families to
encourage reading year-round. It is our biggest event of the year! We received two grants: The Kids, Books and
Arts (KBA) grant that helped us to bring Cactus Head Puppets to perform at our SRP kickoff and the Children’s
Literacy Foundation (CLiF) Summer Reader’s Grant, which allowed us to host a storyteller and award 2 brand new
books to each child who attended. We are extremely grateful to area businesses who donated prizes that were
awarded to participants who met their reading goals.
Overall, our SRP participants read over 2086 books in six weeks!
● “Little Free Libraries”: Free books for the taking, in a several town locations! Thanks to all the participants who
host these bins!
�Outreach highlights:
• Family Place workshop geared for parents and children five and under, brings families and alternating
professionals together in a no-stress environment. Children and parents can play interactively, while being
able to ask any questions they may have of the professional, such as a speech therapist, nutritionist, etc.
• We are always seeking ways to promote our library and its usage. This year we set up a sign-up station on
Election Day and signed up/renewed over 100 accounts!
• Families with children going into kindergarten were presented with an opportunity to attend our
“Kindergarten Meet and Greet” so their children could meet each other and the families, too.
• We attend functions such as the HWMS Fair, and host 3rd grade visits (where the children get to tour the
Museum as well) to encourage children to use our library.
The Friends of the Goodwin Library fundraisers went well this year. The Friends group raised money through the Hay
Day Book sale, Yard/Plant sale and a yearend raffle, all to benefit the Library and thus, our patrons! This allows us to
purchase items or provide services our budget does not cover. In 2018 our Friends group funded: several area passes
(Farm Museum, Castle in the Clouds, Strawbery Banke, and the Children’s Museum) that offer free or reduced rate entry
for our patrons; Poet’s Tea prizes, Heritage Quest genealogy database, our Movie License! Our Friends also provided
delicious baked goods for several of our events.
The Friends welcome new members! For more information call the library at 755-2944, option 2 or stop in!
We are able to provide these and many more programs and services only with the support and participation of the people
and the community of Farmington, as well as area businesses, town departments and nonprofits including: Farmington
Police and Fire, Farmington School District, Farmington Historical Society, Farmington Woman’s Club, New Hampshire
State Library, Rochester Area Librarians, UNH Cooperative Extension Service, Vita Tax Prep, Servicelink, Goodwin
Community Health, Community Action Partnership, Lone Oak Ice Cream, FCC Food Pantry, Barnes and Noble,
Crowley’s Variety, Studley’s, Butternut Farms, Piscatqua Landscaping, and many, many more!
Front: Morgan Barrett. First Row: Kayla Morin, Susan Blum, Moriah Saddler, Joyce White
Back Row: Amy Cornwell, Pam Groat, Tami Larock, Linda Seaward and Patience Taylor.
The Goodwin Library is presided over by a Board of Trustees with a constitution and bylaws dating to the 1890’s.
Although the Trustees govern, manage, and have custody of the library, it is primarily supported financially by the Town
of Farmington. Therefore, the Goodwin Library strives to provide quality services and resources to the community, while
cautiously spending and using the funds available in a responsible manner. The library is able to do this because of staff
teamwork, volunteer hours (255 hours in 2018!), support of the Friends group, donations by local businesses and updated
processes and procedures; all of which contribute to increased efficiency.
The library proves to be a valued institution in the Town of Farmington, so the Goodwin Library appreciates the support
for past years and the years to come by the Selectmen, Budget Committee, and the community.
In closing, the Goodwin Library would like to extend an invitation to all people who live, work, or own property in
Farmington to visit us and sign-up for your free library card. For more information, please stop in or contact us at
603.755.2944 or circulation@goodwinlibrary.org. We are open M/F 10am to 5pm, T/R 2pm to 8pm, and Sat 10am to
2pm.
The staff looks forward to welcoming all new and returning patrons into the library family!

Tami A. Larock
�STRAFFORD REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION 2018 TOWN REPORT

There is an opportunity for one additional resident to represent Farmington as an SPRC Commissioner.
�We deeply appreciate the Town of Farmington’s ongoing support of
Cornerstone VNA, a nonprofit home health and hospice care organization
serving Strafford, Belknap, Carroll and Rockingham Counties in NH and York
County in ME.
Being mission driven, we are committed to bringing services to people of all ages regardless of their ability to pay, so
that families can stay together at home, even when facing the challenges of aging, surgical recovery, chronic or lifethreatening illnesses or end of life care. We provide skilled nursing, physical, occupational and speech therapies,
social work, and volunteer & support services through five distinct programs: Home Care, Hospice Care, Life CarePrivate Duty, and Community Care.
Cornerstone VNA is proud to be a leader in the home care industry and has received numerous awards for positively
impacting the lives of families through our high quality care. As a non-profit, our greatest challenge, along with the
reduction in Medicare reimbursements and rising costs of operation, is having the funding available to advance our
mission and to reach those in need of our programs and services. As healthcare trends are moving care back into the
home, no matter the degree of a patient’s illness, the level of skill needed is increasingly important. As a result,
Cornerstone VNA continues to invest in certifying our clinicians to ensure excellence and implement new technology,
such as Telehealth, to create efficiencies and better meet the needs of our patients. Although the future of home health
care will be challenging due to changing payment models, the aging population and the shortage of health care
professionals, funding from local towns help Cornerstone VNA continue serving residents in need while working to
meet those challenges. We are pleased to share our accomplishments over the past year:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Our annual Caregivers Connect event, which provides education and support for family caregivers, was attended
by 45 caregivers. To further support caregivers, we added a second monthly Caregiver Café in Newington, which
is in addition to the Farmington Caregiver Café.
We successfully implemented “A Matter of Balance” program, which is designed to reduce the fear of falling and
increase activity levels in older adults. Volunteer Balance Coaches held 8-week community classes in Farmington,
Dover and Rochester in 2018.
We hosted two Healthy Livings Expos for the community at the YMCA in Portsmouth and Rochester.
Through our Educational Series, we provided 38 educational programs to businesses, assisted living facilities and
community groups.
Through our monthly Wellness Clinics, our Nurse provided free clinics in 20 different locations.
Our Hospice program achieved a Level Three status with the We Honor Veterans program. This recognition
reflects our commitment to ensuring veterans have access to quality end-of-life care.
In 2018, our 60+ volunteers gave over 6,000 hours of their time as balance, companion, pet companion, senior
companion, outreach, event, board, office, pet peace of mind, and hospice volunteers.
It is our privilege provide trusted, compassionate and expert health care to members of your community and we are
pleased to share the number of visits by program in 2018.

Along with access to care, your support funds free community clinics, patient education and allows us to launch
innovative program and services. We encourage the residents of Farmington to call Cornerstone VNA at 800-6911133 if they have any questions about our programs and services. We are here to help you or your loved ones to heal
at home. Thank you once again for your generous support.

planner back to 30 hours per week, seconded by Rick Pelkey. Martin Laferte, Planning Board member, spoke in
favor of Dan Desantis having his hours increased because of the difference he’s made since being employed. The
town administrator stated that the Board of Selectmen have discussed this matter and said they would find $7300 in
the current budget if they find it necessary to add those hours back. Penny Morin asked if this would be advisory if it
passed. Arthur answered that it would. Penny then asked if the board ever discussed moving town meeting to
Saturday which was asked at last years meeting and Arthur Capello, Town Administrator, said it was discussed and
decided not to change it. David Kestner then asked why if the Governing body votes for something it is not followed.
Mary Barron explained legislative vs governing body decisions. Penny Morin then asked why the hours were
reduced. Town Administrator, Arthur Capello, stated that there was a backlog when Dan DeSantis came on board so
they felt he needed the 30 hours to get caught up, and now 26 hours is sufficient. The Town Administrator and Board
of Selectmen do not feel it is necessary at this time to increase the hours. The motion to amend Article 5 was
defeated by show of cards vote. Article 5 as originally written was approved by show of cards vote. Tim Brown made
a motion to restrict reconsideration of Article 5, seconded by Sylvia Arcouette. With no discussion, a vote was taken

coming from the insurance claim.

�Board of Selectmen Recommendation: Yes
Budget Committee Recommendations: Yes
Tax Impact: .06
A motion was made by Sylvia Arcouette to approve Article 17 as written, seconded by Neil Johnson. Discussion
ensued, Steve Henry asked if property taxation would only pay a certain part and Jason Scruton asked why money
raised from water/sewer wouldn’t pay this and not be shared from water/sewer fees plus taxation. Asked if there was
a vote originally for half to come from taxation and half from water/sewer. Selectman Paula Proulx said she doesn’t
believe a vote was ever made on that specific part, but it was part of the original discussion. Manny Krasner stated
that not all people get municipal services all the time, but all still need to pay their part to support the town. Tim
Brown asked if a legal decision made in one town meeting is bound to the next year’s town meeting. Town Counsel,
KeriAnn stated that it does not hold over, the vote is taken each year. Jason Scruton asked what the current fund
balance is, what the life span of the treatment plant should be and what year are we in. TA Arthur Capello indicated
the balance of the fund to currently be $100,000, the lifespan should be 30 years and we are in year 5 or 6. Martin
Laferte reiterated that people who use water/sewer services should fund it. Penny Morin made a motion to call the

Article 18: Pump Stations
The following residents of Farmington, NH have brought forth a signed petition to see if the Town of Farmington, New
Hampshire will accept the ownership and maintenance of the pump stations that service the 60 homes of both Sky
View Drive, and Whippoorwill Ridge Road (by petition)
A motion was made by Sylvia Arcouette to approve Article 18 as written, seconded by Linda Libby. Discussion
ensued, Howard Champagne asked if a current study of the infrastructure was done and given to the Town. TA
Arthur Capello indicated that no other plans were given. Howard Champagne asked if we know where the pipes are
under the road. Eric Martin, Whippoorwill Ridge Rd resident, said they are the only water/sewer pump station in
Farmington that is not run by the Town. It was built according to a plan approved by the planner at the time, 7 or 8
years ago and the homeowners association has maintained it according to the manufacturer’s standards since then.
Selectman Paula Proulx mentioned there were big issues a few years ago and asked if those have been reconciled.
Eric Martin stated that new pumps were installed at the homeowner’s association expense with no issues since then.
Keith Brocoto, Sky View Dr, is a member of the homeowners association, he stated that he has records to show they
have been maintaining the pump station according to manufacturer’s standards and has the engineer’s plans from
when it was designed and implemented, but not with him tonight. Jason Scruton asked if the Town would benefit
from taking over this pump station and also asked if it would cost the Town money if there were issues. Manny
Krasner asked how these people are on Town water/sewer but their pumping station is private and if it is private, why
should we take it over now. Eric Martin explained that they understood it was to be private until it was up to
standards, then would be taken over by the Town. Selectman Neil Johnson stated the builder may have told them
that, but it was never the agreement. Steve Henry asked if issues would be paid for by water/sewer funds or by the
whole town if this is taken over. Neil Johnson indicated if there is not enough money in the water/sewer fund, then
the Town would have to pay the rest. TA Arthur Capello, in response to Manny Krasner’s comment about the
Whippoorwill Ridge Rd residents being on public water/sewer lines, explained that the pipes under the road are still
private and do not meet the Town public infrastructure until the intersection with Route 75. Tim Brown suggested that
we wait until engineering plans and maintenance information is available and make an informed decision. Linda
McElhinney asked it the article can be tabled. Town Counsel KeriAnn stated that an article can not be tabled; we
would have to vote on it and then put it back on the warrant next year if it is not approved. Steve Henry asked if the
floor can ask to start a CRF and offer to self fund. Town Counsel KeriAnn Roman stated that she thinks it can be
done but not on the fly. Manny Krasner said a vote no today is basically the same as tabling the article. Penny Morin
motioned to call the question, seconded by Riley Stanchina. Motion carried by a show of cards vote. A vote was then
taken for Article 18 as written and it failed by a show of cards vote.
Article 19: Water/Sewage Lines
The following residents of Farmington, NH have brought forth a signed petition to see if the Town of Farmington, New
Hampshire will accept the ownership and maintenance of the water and sewage lines that serve the 60 homes of both
Sky View Drive and Whippoorwill Ridge Road.(by petition)
6 of 7
�Sylvia Arcouette made a motion to approve Article 19 as written, Heidi Mitchell seconded the motion. Howard
Champagne started the discussion by reminding everyone to remember what we just heard over the past half hour. Mary
Barron made a motion to call the question, Tim Brown seconded the motion. Motion carried by a show of cards vote.
Article 19 was then voted on as written and defeated by a show of cards vote.
Article 20: Adoption of Road
To see if the Town will vote to accept Lawrence Lane as a Class V town road. (by petition)
Sylvia Arcouette made a motion to approve Article 20 as written, seconded by Angie Cardinal. Discussion ensued:
Angela Hardin, of Lawrence Lane, began a slide show presentation. Angela made a motion to amend the article to
include the water/sewer infrastructure under the 50 foot right of way, seconded by Steve Henry. Eric Martin asked if
a current engineering study has been done for this road and infrastructure. TA Arthur Capello indicated not since
2001. Angela stated that there are 4” sewer pipes, 2” water pipes and 2 manhole covers for access. Howard
Champagne stated that he feels it is an underhanded way to get the Town to take over with no state/town standards
proven. Howard asked what pipes at what depths and what materials were used? Angela Hardin did bring in plans to
the Planning Board and to the Board of Selectmen and left copies of them. TA Arthur Capello mentioned this should
have been done according to the road acceptance policy. Town Counsel KeriAnn Roman stated that she is not sure
the wording of this amendment would be legally acceptable. Angela withdrew the amendment. Quickly, Angela
proposed the amendment to read “To see if the Town will vote to accept Lawrence Lane as a Class V Town road and
to include the water/sewer infrastructure in the 50 ft right of away.” Seconded by Steve Henry. A vote was taken to
accept the amendment by a show of cards vote. The moderator stated that a standing count was needed, so a
standing count was taken and the motion to accept the amendment failed: 42 opposed 23 in favor. Discussion then
continued for the original article as written. Angela Hardin described the road and design plan and how it compares
to todays standards for Town roads. Neal Johnson asked how long the road is and if emergency vehicles and plow
trucks are able to maneuver the road as it is. Angela explained that the road is 460 feet long and that a new Town
plow driver recently mistakenly came down and plowed their road and had no issue. Manny Krasner stated that he is
against this article because the development was built and homes sold with the road private, the Town struggles to
maintain what we have, stating the Town can’t handle taking on more roads. Steve Henry asked about the road
acceptance policy that the town administrator spoke to earlier, can he please explain. TA Arthur Capello explained
that the policy was not adhered to here, but the legislative body can vote to accept whatever they want. Angela
Hardin stated that the road is only 460 feet, they are well taxed and it doesn’t add much to Department of Public
Works time to maintain it. Tim Brown suggested as in the past 2 articles, that an engineering study should be done
before we take on the road. Howard Champagne asked if the 50 foot right a-way is a 2 way, what the radius of the
cul-de-sac is, and can this radius handle emergency and DPW trucks? The Town Planner looked at the plans Angela
had with her and stated from the plans, the radius meets current standards. Penny Morin made a motion to call the
question. Manny Krasner seconded the motion. Article 20 was voted on as written and failed by a show of cards
vote.
A motion to adjourn was made by Manny Krasner, so moved, meeting adjourned at 9:39pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Kathy L Seaver, Town Clerk-Tax Collector

Incorporated: 1798
Origin: This town started as West Parish, a portion of Rochester that included several large farms.
Those farms were separated from Rochester in 1798 as Farmington, a reference to the area's
fertile farmland. It was also known as Farmington Dock because its location on the Cocheco River
was an ideal spot for sawmills. Those sawmills expanded into shoe-making factories, one of the
first places to use automated shoe-making machines instead of handwork. One Farmington
resident known in the shoe trade was Jeremiah J. Colbath, who, after changing his name to Henry
Wilson, was elected Vice-President under Ulysses S. Grant.

�NOTES
�2017 Report Dedication
Dedicated to Charles L. Doke
May 16, 1950 - March 19, 2017
Charles L. Doke was known by most as “Charlie”. Charlie proudly served his country
from 1968-1971 in the U.S. Air Force with one year in Vietnam. He moved to Farmington
in 1979 with his wife Joann and their children Chuck and Robyn. He worked for 10 years
at the Portsmouth Navel Shipyard Power Plant. After retiring from the Navy Yard, he
worked for several heating companies before starting his own which he ran with his son,
Chuck, for 26 years.
Charlie was a valued member of the Farmington Planning Board up until his passing. He
was appointed Chairman for many years. He was also a member of the American Legion
and the Disabled American Veterans. As President of the Farmington Junior Chamber of
Commerce in the 1980’s, he helped raise funds for the Fire Department to purchase the
Jaws of Life.
For fun Charlie loved riding his motorcycle with his TTMC brothers, playing pool and
singing karaoke.
You could always count on a smile from Charlie; his friendly upbeat attitude could
brighten up anyone’s day. He was a true gentleman; his presence and contributions to the
Town will be forever remembered.

�In Memory of Thomas A. DeJulio
February 9, 1955-November 7, 2017
Tom and his wife Lauren moved to Farmington in 1979. They raised their two daughters Kaylee and
Ashlyn here. Tom, a master electrician for over 44 years, was very involved in the Town, he coached
softball for the 500 Boys and Girls Club when his daughters were younger. His love for the Town will be
seen for years to come as the tradition of the Downtown Christmas Lights and Decorations will endure
thanks to his tireless efforts to save them.
In memory of Blanche Annette Rundlette
March 9, 1911- December 29, 2017
On March 9, 2016 long time Farmington resident Blanche Rundlette was awarded the Boston Post Cane,
an honor given to the oldest living resident of a Town. She was 105 years of age, the oldest person in
Farmington to receive the award. Born on March 9, 1911 Blanche spent most of her life in Farmington;
attended schools here and graduated from Farmington High School. She married Rufus Rundlette who ran
the local barbershop and they raised their family here. She worked as a payroll clerk in local shoe shops
most of her working life. For the last 10 years she lived at the Mt. View Community in Ossipee where she
passed away peacefully on December 29, 2017 at the young age of 106!

�2017 Chairman’s Report
Board of Selectmen
(standing left to right) Charlie King, Neil Johnson, James Horgan
(seated left to right) Paula Proulx, Ann Titus
2017 was a very busyand productive year. As Chairman of the Board, I would like to quickly thank the
Town Administrator, all Department Heads and Town employees for keeping their budgets tight and still
providing a high quality of services for the all residents of Farmington. With budget constraints, we
realize that this was no easy task but all rose to the challenge. Some departments had to become creative,
while others were able to seek out grants to help offset some of the costs of doing business. For this, I
thank you. It makes our job just a little bit easier.
OVER the past year the Board of Selectmen were very conscious of keeping our expenses in line and
trying to increase our overall revenues. The more revenues that are created, the less money that needs to
be raised through taxation. Some of these highlights were adding two more Town owned properties back
on to the tax rolls and a third one is real close. Another solar powered electric generating facility Pilot
(payment in lieu of taxes) was negotiated for the old Cardinal Landfill area. An agreement between NH
Solar Garden, NH Custodial Trust and the Town not only generates steady revenue but will provide lower
electric rates for all Town buildings (and possibly some residents). There is a third, private venture, that
may come to fruition as well. If all goes right, these should be on line in 2018. If you have not noticed,
new updated, energy efficient LED streetlights have been installed throughout the town. Affinity LED
Light LLC. has installed approximately 190 new streetlights that will reduce needed energy but provide
essential light where it is needed. This should save us thousands of dollars on the electric bills. Lastly,
the process of repurposing the “Old Fire Station” lots has begun. We awarded a proposal for the
Appraisal and Best Use of the property. This task has been completed and a report has been generated.
We are working with our new Planner, Daniel DeSantis on this project. Dan brings a set of skills and
experience that we believe will help us with community and economic development, not only for this
project but the community as a whole.

�2017 Chairman’s Report
ANOTHER big event that took place was the Grand Opening for the new Public Safety Building that
was held on June 4th. It was well attended but if you were unable to make it to the event, you missed a
very impressive siren and light parade that started from the old police station, to the old fire station, to
their new home at the new Public Safety Building. It was a fun afternoon…not to mention the project did
come in under budget. Congratulations to all for a job well done!
OTHER honorable mentions are that a long time employee (37 years) retired this year. Dale
Sprague handed over the reins to our Deputy Director Jason Gagnon. Dale retired in July after many
years of a job well done. Jason had been training with Dale for some months so that the transition was
very fluid. This also allowed for a restructuring of the DPW to make better use of time and skills. The
Safe Routes To School project was finally completed. You may have noticed the new and improved
sidewalks, cross walk markings and signal lights along the Tiger Paws route to the schools running up
Central Street and Spring Street. The Board of Selectmen have been working with consultants to ensure
source water protection plans and identifying potential new sources of water for the community. As
regulations and permitting continuously get stricter for the development of water sources, the Board
acknowledges how important it is to plan ahead so that the Town can protect what we already have and
are able to ensure the future water rights necessary for the community in the future. One last thing worth
mentioning is the reconstruction of the Town Website. It has been overhauled and set up to be more user
friendly. A face book page (informational only, no posting of comments) has been created so that
residents are able to go to the page and retrieve accurate information in regards to the Town. We felt it
necessary to accurately inform residents of any events, meetings, or just general information that they
deemed necessary. Just our way of keeping in touch.
AS I wrap up this years report, I would like to thank all the taxpayers and residents of the Town for
allowing us to serve you and for the trust you put in us to make sure that the community remains a place
where we all love to live. I would like to thank the rest of my Board for all the hard work, many hours
and effort that went into accomplishing this years tasks and projects. Your commitment, not only made
my job as Chair easier but enjoyable as well. Thanks to all who volunteer.
Respectfully submitted,
Paula Proulx
Chairman, Board of Selectmen

2017 Town Administrator Report
Arthur Capello
It has been a very busy 2017. The most exciting part of 2017 was the opening of the new Public Safety Building. I
want to thank the residents for their overwhelming support. The building will serve the community well for 30 plus
years. I am also pleased to say that we were able to come in under budget while not cutting any corners.
Some the other projects we had undertaken in 2017, was a complete rebuild of the Town website. I encourage
everyone to visit it and please provide us feedback. This website belongs to all the residents and visitors of
Farmington.
The Town is always looking for ways to save the taxpayers funds while also improving the Town. In 2017, we
converted all of our streetlights to LED. This will have a two-year payback and the town will be saving thousands of
dollars in electricity. After last year’s town meeting, the Board has entered into a long-term agreement to construct
two solar gardens on the old landfill. We have also started negotiations to realize additional revenues for four other
solar gardens in Town.
I look forward to an exciting 2018. Please feel free to stop in any time. My door is always open.
Respectfully submitted,
Arthur Capello, Town Administrator

�2017 Assessing Department Report
The Assessing Office is responsible for ensuring equitable assessments, which distribute
the Town’s tax burden in accordance with New Hampshire statutes. Assessments are
based on the fair market value of property, and are applied in a fair, equitable, and
consistent manner. The Town of Farmington contracts Avitar Associates of Chichester,
NH to provide assessing services, and administrative duties are performed by the
assessing clerk who is a town employee.
Abatements: If you disagree with your property’s assessed value, you may file an
abatement application after the final notice of tax (2nd bill in December) and prior to
March 1st.
Credits and Exemptions are processed in the Assessing Department. The deadlines and
basic criteria are as follows:
Veteran’s Credit: Must meet applicable dates of service, have been
honorably discharged & a NH resident for one year prior to application. Requires
DD214. Application deadline: April 15th.
Elderly Exemption: Must be 65 years of age prior to April 1st & a NH resident for at
least three years. Must meet income and asset limits. Single applicants cannot have
more than $30,000 in gross income; married applicants cannot have more than $50,000 in
gross income. Applicants may not have more than $75,000 in assets. Application
deadline: April 15th
Other Exemptions: The Town of Farmington also has an exemption for the blind, as
well as an exemption for solar and wood-heating systems. Contact the office for more
information.
Current Use Program. The NH Current Use Program went into effect in 1973. The
Town of Farmington has over 250 properties enrolled in this program. Under Current
Use, the land is assessed at its present use rather than its highest potential use, enabling
landowners to keep their open space lands undeveloped. When land comes out of
Current Use, a penalty is imposed. At this time, 100% of the Current Use penalties
collected go to the Conservation Commission. If you have any questions about the
Current Use program, please contact this office.
Online Assessing Data. One of the benefits of our assessing software is the ability to
view assessing data online. The website can be accessed through the town’s website on
the Assessing Department’s page. Log in as an Anonymous User, click on the Town of
Farmington, and you will be able to search property values in town.
Property record cards can be viewed and printed from the public computer provided in
the assessing department. I would also be happy to email a card to you or drop one in the
mail if that is your preference. I would encourage every taxpayer to request a copy of
25
�2017 Assessing Department Report
their property record card to help us ensure that our information is accurate as it pertains
to your property.
Tax maps are available here in the office, or can be viewed and printed from the town’s
web site. New in 2018 is the availability of GIS maps which you will find on our website.

�2017 Farmington Community Television Report
Robert Hall, FCTV Coordinator
Hello FCTV 26 viewers and residents of Farmington
Back by popular demand is the report for the annual town report which was not included last year.
2017 was the first year that Town Board and Committee meetings were available at (fctv26.vibit.com)
for public viewing. As of February 2018 there were 16,000 views. The top two view meetings were the
Board of Selectmen and the Budget Committee.
In The Town Hall the sound system is being redesigned and updated with a new video projector,
screen various wireless equipment controllers more portability and various other tweaks and adjustments.
We are currently working on a locally produced music show that will be showing later this spring. It
will consist of local talent playing mostly original music.
Since the last report the Metrocast contract has finally been re-negotiated. At the same time, a TDS
contract was also negotiated. A "First in the State" technological solution between the Town, Metrocast,
and TDS was developed, permitting the live broadcasting of the School and Town channels simultaneously
over both the Metrocast and TDS cable networks.
DVDs of the meetings are still available for viewing at the Goodwin Library and also at

2017 Fire Rescue Department Report
2017 was a monumental year not only for the Fire and Police Departments but the Town as a whole. Due to
the understanding and generosity of the taxpayers and numerous organizations, we were able to move into
our new Public Safety Building last March. We as a department couldn’t be happier, we now have the
privilege of working out of this new building, as it will continue to allow us to do our job effectively and
efficiently for many more years to come.
The members of the Farmington Fire & Rescue Department continue to be dedicated professionals that
serve the residents and visitors of Farmington. With their dedication, we responded to 1354 calls for service
in 2017, of those calls 981 were EMS related and the remaining 373 were fire related. Due to new policies
and procedures implemented in 2016. We saw a 17.7% increase in our ambulance collections and received
$289,296.03 in total revenue.
We continue to be proactive within the community as we do so much more than respond to calls for
service. Over the past year the department has conducted life safety inspections in 105 different buildings,
this includes 324 individual residential units, 12 oil burner inspections and 2 residential foster care
inspections. We invited the students from Valley View Elementary School to the new public safety building
during Fire Prevention Week. We were able to interact with over 300 students and provide them with
valuable lifesaving information that they are able to take home to their families. A total of 693 seasonal
campfire and brush permits were issued throughout the calendar year.
The dedication from all of the fire department members resulted in 24,353.29 hours worked and 4,478.67
training hours. Although we still have a long way to go I am extremely proud of all of my employees and the
sacrifices they have made to improve the fire department. We have several big projects that must be
addressed in the next few years which include the replacement of our self-contained breathing apparatus, an
ambulance and a fire engine. These are all vital to our mission in protecting the residents and their property
here in town. As we move forward I will continue to work with the Board of Selectmen to help plan a
fiscally responsible plan to help fulfill that mission.

�2017 Farmington Parks & Recreation Report
Special Events:
February 10, 2017- The Annual Daddy Daughter Dance was a sell out; girls age 4-12 and their
chaperones enjoyed a night out of dancing and games. Participants enjoyed a pasta bar and desserts
prepared by the Recreation Department and received flowers from The Village Bouquet. Tickets to the
Daddy Daughter Dance were $25/couple and $10/additional child.
February 24, 2017- The Mom/Son Activity Night was a great evening of individual and team

collecting eggs; this event takes place rain or shine.
June 1, 2017- Proceeds from the Flock a Friend benefited the Recreation Department’s Hay Day
Fireworks. During the month of June participants paid to have pink flamingos put on their friend’s lawn
for a day. When they completed the “flocking application” they could choose for the Recreation
Department to leave either 12 or 24 flamingos for the day. This program was a huge success and we
look forward to doing it again in 2018.
June 24, 2017- The Town Wide Yard Sale provides an opportunity for people to get publicity for their
yard sale at a low cost. Each participant pays $5 and the Recreation Department constructs a map with
all of their addresses on it. The maps are distributed throughout Farmington so thrifty shoppers can plan
their yard sale hunt.
July 22, 2017- Family Day @ Fernald Park was held on a Saturday. The free event featured performances
by Wayne from Maine, fire trucks and family games. Friends of Farmington, the Goodwin Library, the

included hotdogs, candy, popsicles, water and soda.

Saturday’s schedule included games, vendors and of course the annual Bed Race. The Recreation
Department’s team won the Bed Race this year and gladly donated the cash prize back to the event.
Saturday concluded with fireworks set off from Farmington High School. Sunday the Recreation
Department hosted its 5th annual road race; this year 32 people participated in the 5K race. The
proceeds from the race benefited programs run by the Recreation Department. During the race the
Recreation Department hosted a pancake breakfast in the Municipal Office parking lot.
September 27, 2017- The Recreation Department hosted a Flu Clinic sponsored by Cornerstone VNA. 15
people attended the event that most health insurances covered; if a participant did not have health
insurance their flu shot cost $40.

October 28, 2017-The Recreation Department celebrated its 4th annual Pumpkin Festival. 70 people
attended the event, that featured pumpkin carving, crafts provided by Grace Community Church, a
“touch a truck” sponsored by Farmington’s Police & Fire Departments and concessions sold by the
Recreation Department.
October 31, 2017- Recreation Department hosted its
annual Trick or Treat Parade. 350 people attended
the free event that allowed children to dress in
costumes and trick or treat with their parents at
participating downtown businesses & organizations.
Pictured left are Farmington Recreation employees

December 1, 2017- During the annual tree lighting ceremony, the Recreation Department served hot
chocolate and deserts to over 300 spectators while they listened to the Valley View School Chorus
perform holiday songs. After the tree and downtown lights came on Santa Claus was delivered by the
Fire Department; he walked through the crowd greeting families and handing out candy canes. This free
event requires a complete community effort; in addition to the schools performing the Farmington
Preservation & Improvement Committee hangs the lights across the street, the Highway & Fire
Departments help decorate the tree and the Police Department provides traffic control.
December 4, 2017- The Recreation Department hosted its 6th Annual Foul Shot Contest for Town of
Farmington employees. The male and female participants that made the most free throws in oneminute won hams to share with their families for the holidays. This year’s winners were again Scott
Orlando from the Police Department (18 baskets made) and Alisha Randall from the Recreation
Department (16 baskets made). The Farmington Fireman’s Association generously donated raffle prizes
that were available for participants that didn’t win the grand prize.
December 15, 2017- 45 people attended the Santa Meet and Greet & Recreation Department’s After
School Program Art Show. Participants visited with Santa while their family took their picture with him;
the Recreation Department was available to take pictures of children with Santa and email them to the
families for no charge. When the children were done with Santa they walked through the gym admiring
art projects and played in the Recreation Department’s bounce house. During the event the Recreation
Department raffled off trees that were decorated by Farmington House of Pizza, Grace Community
Church and the Recreation Department. The proceeds from the raffle benefited programs run by the
Recreation Department.

Youth Programs:
School Year Programs:
The After School Program for children in grades K-6 continues to be popular with parents and students.
This program runs the entire school year; participants are picked up at the school by Recreation Staff
members and brought to the Recreation Department to participate in a variety of games, sports, crafts
and special activities. Our department is always researching new ways to promote exercise and healthy
living to the children in Farmington. We are looking forward to trying new things in the spring of 2019.
In addition to the After School Program the Recreation Department runs February and April Vacation
Camps. These camps attend a trip each day and lunch is included in the cost of the week. Some of the
trips include: ice skating, bowling, swimming, Blitz and Hilltop Fun Center.
Summer Programs:
The Recreation Department offers a Grades 1-6 Summer Camp. Campers attended 2-3 trips each week
to state parks, pools and other attractions. During the “in house” days children spent time playing
games and doing crafts organized by Recreation Staff members. Camp ended its summer with a trip to
the Funtown/ Splashtown in Saco, ME where they spent the day going on rides.
The Recreation Department continued its Counselor in Training (CIT) program this year. Children age
13+ were eligible to apply for three open positions in which they worked with Recreation Staff planning
and implementing summer programs on a volunteer basis. Each CIT had to complete an application, go
through an interview process and once hired become trained in American Red Cross, First Aid and CPR.
The goal of this program is to teach teenagers responsibility and to train future Recreation Employees.
Children interested in applying to be a CIT the summer of 2018 should contact the Recreation
Department in May.
Adult/Senior Programs:
In 2017 our Adult/Senior Programs consisted of 35 trips and activities in addition to 55+ Bingo on
Wednesdays. Some of the trips that were offered were to: the Fryeburg Fair, Foxwoods, plays at the
Leddy Theatre, shopping trips and Lunch Bunches. The Recreation Department hosted three holiday
meals (April, November & December) following 55+ Bingo. The meals consisted of sandwiches, soup
ham, turkey, and all the fixings you would anticipate from a holiday meal; including desserts!!

Acknowledgments:
The Recreation department is very grateful for the efforts of the Recreation Advisory Committee (Jo
Kenney, Kristina Pelletier & Meredith Tuttle) for their work to fund the Hay Day Fireworks through
fundraisers and donations. In addition to fundraising for the fireworks many members of the Recreation
Advisory Committee assisted us in planning and implementing our community events. The Recreation
Department with the help of the Recreation Advisory Committee is in the process of planning
fundraisers to fund the fireworks in 2018.
Another group that went above and beyond this year for our community was Grace Community Church
(GCC). On Wednesday evening’s during the winter months’ members of GCC serve free meals to the
community in the Recreation Department’s Gym.
I would also like to give a special thank you to all of the businesses and organizations that continuously
support our department through sponsorships and donations. Without your support, we would not be
able to provide the quality programs and events that we do.
Respectfully Submitted,
Rick Conway
Director of Parks and Recreation

�2017 Police Department Report
2017 saw interesting times for the Farmington Police Department. We first want to thank
the Town of Farmington residents and businesses for allowing us the privilege to work in a new
Public Safety Building. The building is safe for the employees, visitors, and arrestees. It has
already housed several valuable trainings that have saved the Town of Farmington money.
Several groups have used the EOC for meetings and it was even used as a warming station on
November 1, 2017 when areas of the Town had lost power for several days. This room also
hosted two blood drives. Unfortunately it also provided valuable space when we had to
investigate 3 homicides that happened this year as well as several shootings, when outside
agencies assisted us. These cases are in the court system.
We applied for and received the COPS grant to keep an officer in the schools and it is worth up
to $125,000.00 over the next four years in savings. The Police Department also continues to
apply for and receive DWI and Patrol grants to focus on impaired or unsafe operations of motor
vehicles, at no cost to the Town.
We responded to or received 25% more calls than in the history of the agency. This resulted
in the following statistics: Total reported offenses were down nearly 15% from 2016.
Subcategories: Crimes against persons were down 9%. Crimes against property were down
24%. Within this statistic burglaries were up 2% and motor vehicle larceny was down about
65%. Crimes against society up about 50% unfortunately with drug violations leading the way.
Motor Vehicle Stops were down nearly 60%.
35
�2017 Police Department Report
Arrests were down 20% from 2016 with 362. Reportable traffic accidents were about the
same at 144. Driving under the influence was down this year by 33% with 21 arrests. The
officers had a very busy year with 16,211 logged calls for service compared to 12,703 in 2016,
but were still able to accomplish many goals; such as community policing, working with local
nonprofits, town events, and other agencies all while being shorthanded for much of the year.
We assisted families in need around the Holidays and raised over $2,200.00 with the help of
Honey Dew Donuts. The first, First Night Farmington saw about 80 people around Town for
New Year’s Eve.
The agency saw a lot of details this year keeping the money in Town. This money purchased
2 new all- wheel drive sedans from Ford, who was running a special that saved $4,000.00 per
cruiser. They are fuel efficient 6 cylinder cruisers and best of all this had no impact to the
taxpayers. They are a wide stable platform and I hope will serve the town well for many years.
It is a privilege for us to serve the citizens of the Town of Farmington, but please remember
you are our eyes and ears. Report anything you feel is unusual or suspicious to the agency
(603)-755-2231 or in an emergency dial 911.
Sincerely
Chief of Police
John (Jay) P. Drury

�2017 Department of Public Works Report
2017 was a year of transition within the Public Works Department, most notably with the retirement of
Dale Sprague after 37 years of dedicated service to the Town of Farmington. All of us in the Public
Works Department want to thank Dale for his hard work, long hours, and unwavering commitment to the
Town. We wish you a long, relaxing, and enjoyable retirement!
Following Dale’s retirement in July, the Public Works Department welcomed Jason Gagnon as the new
Director and Gary Rogers as Deputy Director. In addition, Will Cardinal was selected as the new Public
Works Crew Leader. Jason, Gary, and Will look forward to helping the Public Works Department
continue to deliver exceptional public service and maintenance of our public infrastructure.
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT:
In 2017, the Highway Department consistently worked to maintain and enhance our roadway and
drainage infrastructure. Significant time and effort was put into re-establishing and maintaining drainage
swales along the side of Meaderboro Road, Reservoir Road, and Winter Street. Old, failing cement block
catch basins and failing drain lines were removed and replaced with modern precast structures on Winter
Street and Blaine Street.
Some of Farmington’s most notorious roads were addressed, as Silver Street, Waldron Road, and a
portion of Bay Road were reclaimed and base paved. Before the paving occurred on Silver Street,
significant tree removal was performed and drainage upgrades were installed by Town crews to try and
limit any future pavement damage due to the existing poor drainage. All three roads were paved with a
base coat only of asphalt, with the intention to top coat each of these roads in the near future to help
maximize the useful life of this significant investment. In addition to the major paving projects, seriously
deteriorated portions of Civic St, Winter St, and Blaine St were also repaved in conjunction with nearby
drainage work.

2017 also brought a change to the process of grading and maintaining Farmington’s 18 miles of dirt
roads. Previously, an outside contractor was brought in to apply liquid calcium chloride to graded and
compacted roads to help reduce dust and lengthen the time between grading. After much research, we
have switched to a liquid magnesium chloride using a vendor who also was able to supply the equipment
necessary to apply the liquid ourselves at a lower cost than using the outside contractor. The grading
crew has been very proactive in working with the new liquid and equipment to come up with the right
37
�2017 Department of Public Works Report
process for grading, liquid application, and compaction, and we are looking forward to further refining
our process in 2018 to reduce dirt road maintenance time and expense while hopefully providing a more
durable, less dusty road surface.
Winter 2017 was primarily a season of freezing rain, sleet, and nuisance snow storms – with a couple
major blizzards thrown in along the way. Crews spent significant time chasing icy patches of roads due
to the alternating warm/cold temperatures, and despite our best efforts to reduce the amount of salt used,
salting and sanding continue to be a significant expense. Of special note, between February 7th and 16th,
Farmington received over three feet of snow, with one blizzard delivering snowfall rates of more than
three inches per hour! Our deepest thanks go out to all of the “snowplow widows” while their husbands
worked for many days straight to keep Farmington’s roads passable during this brutal stretch of winter
weather, and again at the end of 2017 as the crew was called in to plow on Christmas Day.
The Town Highway Garage has traditionally maintained all Town vehicles, but in 2017 small vehicle
maintenance was outsourced locally. This small change has had an incredibly large impact on our ability
to maintain our aging public works fleet, including tackling larger maintenance tasks that had been
pushed off (in some cases, for years) due to lack of available resources. We were able to make quite a
dent in our deferred maintenance in 2017, and hope to continue making progress in 2018.
WATER DEPARTMENT:
2017 was a challenging year for the water department, with significant disruptions to our drinking
water supply and tough scheduling of work for the new water main at the Main Street bridge replacement.
Over the course of the year, over 88 million gallons of clean, safe drinking water were produced from our
two primary drinking water wells – that’s more than 243,000 gallons per day on average.
In June, Well #5 was taken offline for cleaning for approximately two weeks in hopes of bringing back
some of its lost water production capacity. During cleaning, it was discovered that the motor for the well
pump needed to be replaced. In late September, there was a major failure of the connection from the well
to the water main that caused the well to be down for another two weeks. Since this connection was
repaired, Well #5 has been operating without issue. This was a very important repair, because…
In late November, the pump and motor at Well #6 failed on the Sunday before Thanksgiving (one of
the highest periods of water demand). Because of the holiday and the long lead time associated with
getting a new pump and motor of the correct size and capacity for the well, Well #6 remained down for
two full weeks before returning to service in early December. During this time, Well #4 had to be turned
back on in order to supply the Town with a sufficient quantity of water to meet demand. We received
numerous complaints about color and odor in the water during this period, and wanted to let all water
customers know that we sincerely appreciated your patience as we worked through the issues with limited
resources.
On a related note, the Town’s groundwater consultant, Emery & Garrett Groundwater Investigations,
LLC, was able to identify three potential new sources of groundwater to replace Well #4. In 2018,
additional testing will occur at these sites and an economic analysis will be performed to determine which
potential new well site best fits the Town’s needs and budget, with hopes that in the coming years the
Town will approve funding to improve water quality, quantity, and service to water customers – and
hopefully avoid a future repeat of the Thanksgiving situation.

�2017 Department of Public Works Report
In an effort to reduce costs, the
Public Works crew installed
temporary and permanent water
main for the new Main Street
bridge. The tight schedule of the
bridge replacement meant that
Town crews were installing
temporary main early in the spring
with snow still on the ground, and
finishing the installation of
permanent water main under the
roadway only days before the
asphalt plants closed down for the
winter.
Steve Deinstadt, Jason Gagnon, Chuck Tiffany,
Paul Cameron, Scott DePalma
There were many long days put in by the crew, who had to work around the new drainage structures
installed as part of the project as well as the buried remnants of the old mill building that used to sit
between Seneca Machine and the Cocheco River.
Water department personnel also continued to replace and repair old hydrants and/or valves as time
and budget allowed, and will continue to do so in 2018.
Finally, Farmington received a $20,000 grant through NHDES to develop an asset management
program for the water system infrastructure. Work under this project will continue into 2018.
WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT:
In 2017, the wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) treated over 91 million gallons of wastewater
collected by the Town sewer system. 174,468 lbs of suspended solids (96.9%), 185,655 lbs of biological
oxygen demand (97.4%), 30,022 lbs of nitrogen (96%), and 3,865 lbs of phosphorus (71.5%) were
removed from the wastewater before the treated water was then discharged back into the ground as
groundwater recharge. 687,100 lbs of wastewater solids (sludge) was disposed of at a cost of $43,393.40.
Additionally, 1,381,592 gallons of septage from Farmington and surrounding communities were received
and treated at the WWTF.
WWTF personnel have partnered with New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services
(NHDES) on a pilot program to try and reduce the cost of phosphorus removal at WWTFs. In a nutshell,
phosphorus in water leaving WWTFs can cause out of control algae blooms and other harmful effects on
rivers and streams across the state. Traditionally, chemicals have been added to wastewater in order to
remove the phosphorus before it gets to the rivers and streams. Through the partnership with NHDES, we
are hoping to learn how to operate our WWTF in such a way that the microorganisms (bacteria, etc) that
remove the other stuff in wastewater will also start removing the phosphorus. If we can get the
microorganisms to do the work for us, that could potentially save WWTFs across the state many
thousands of dollars each year in chemical costs. So far, results have been promising and we look
forward to continuing to work with NHDES in 2018.
39
�2017 Department of Public Works Report
Farmington was also awarded a number of grants through NHDES in 2017. The first was receipt of
a no-cost energy audit for the WWTF. The energy audit identified areas at our facility and within our
process that could be good candidates to reduce our energy costs moving forward. Perhaps more
significantly, Farmington was selected to receive $60,000 in principal forgiveness to develop an asset
management program for the wastewater and stormwater infrastructure. Work under this asset
management project is ongoing and will hopefully be completed by summer 2018.
TRANSFER STATION:
Thank you to everyone who uses the transfer station for a great 2017. We have received mostly
positive feedback on the switch to our new hours of operation – Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, 8
AM – 3:45 PM and hope this schedule has helped make it easier for everyone to use these services.
This year, Farmington residents disposed of 513.1 tons of trash, 335.5 tons of recyclables, and 380.6
tons of demolition and/or bulky waste. Our recycling rate was 39.5% - that is, 39.5% of our trash was
recycled instead of ending up in a landfill. Recycling is not only better for the environment – it also saves
you money. In 2017, recycling cost $70.39 less per ton than throwing away trash!
Looking ahead to 2018, we have received notice from Waste Management that the recycling market is
likely to tighten due to increasing restriction on impurities. To help keep waste disposal costs from rising,
we ask that all residents using the transfer station please follow the rules for recyclables. Acceptable
recyclable materials are limited to:
•
Plastic labeled 1 – 7 (no Styrofoam)
•
Tin cans
•
Aluminum cans / foil
•
Glass – all colors
•
Paper (not coated)
•
Cardboard
The sale of scrap metal helps offset the cost of transfer station maintenance. Please make sure that
you are throwing only metal items in the scrap metal dumpster. No electronics are allowed, and many
appliances are mostly plastic and should not be placed in the scrap metal dumpster. If you’re unsure,
please ask a transfer station attendant – they would love to help!

State as a whole is considered to be having a housing crisis, with very few vacancies and
extremely high rents.
The Welfare Department assisted the Fire Department with Christmas assistance
for needy families again this year and had a very successful program. We will continue to
partner with them. We will also continue to strengthen our partnerships with programs
such as Community Actions Program, SHARE Fund, Gerry’s Food Pantry and more.
The Town has a new website and has been able to upload printable applications and
forms. There are also links for information and resources that we will continue to build.

DRA has provided a reference range of fund balance retention amounts below. Please utilize these ranges in the
determination of the adequacy of your municipality’s unrestricted fund balance, as currently defined in GASB Statement
54. Retention amounts, as part of the municipality’s stabilization fund policy [1], should be assessed dependent upon
your governments own long-term forecasts and special circumstances. Please note that current best practices published
by GFOA recommend, at a minimum, that “…general purpose governments, regardless of size, maintain unrestricted
fund balance in their general fund of no less than two months of regular general fund operating revenues or regular
general fund operating expenditures.” [2],[3]
[1] The National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting (NACSLB), (1998), Framework for Improved State and Local Government Budgeting: Recommended Budget Practices (4.1), pg. 17.

unassigned general funds in an amount not to exceed,in any fiscal year, 2.5 percent of the current fiscal year's net
assessment pursuant to RSA 198:5, for the purpose of having funds on hand to use as a revenue source for emergency
expenditures and overexpenditures under RSA 32:11, or to be used as a revenue source to reduce the tax rate. This
retained fund balance is not cumulative. The maximum allowed fund balance retention has been calculated as:

�2017 Conservation Commission Report
(back row left to right) Richard Ballou, Thomas Sorenson, William Fisher
(seated left to right) Laura Bogardus, Dave Connolly, Randy Orvis
(missing from picture are: Patience Taylor, Jacquelin Bissell and Joanne Shompe)
The Conservation Commission continued its work in 2017, preserving Farmington’s waterways and
natural open spaces. Continued upkeep on three of the Town’s biggest properties (Town Forest, Bay Rd;
French, Hornetown Rd; and Dubois, River Rd) is an ongoing endeavor. As you may noticed, these three
properties and their respective entrances now have a 9-1-1 address designation. Look for the custom
made; thanks to member Bill Fisher; wooden address signs.
In conjunction with the Farmington Police Department, we have established another hiking trail
which we have named “McCarthy Trail”. The approximate one mile loop trail is well marked although in
2018, upgrades and special additions will be made to this trail. You can access McCarthy Trail by parking
in the PD parking area (please utilize the first 3 spots) where you can see the custom made (thanks again
to Bill) sign.
In 2018, the Commission will continue our outreach to the public by offering a number of public
forums. Please watch our facebook page and the Town’s website for dates.
The Conservation Commission is funded by a number of avenues. First and foremost is the current
use tax. This is a tax that is applied to land when it is taken out of current use. The idea is when current
use land is developed the tax revenues can be put towards other lands to be conserved and maintained.
This is our main revenue source and with decreased development activity this funding has been
negligible. The Commission also receives revenues from timber harvesting that is done on conservation
lands that are under the oversight of the Conservation Commission. The Commission can also accept
donations.
The Farmington Conservation Commission currently meets the 2nd Wednesday of every month with
the exception of March. We convene at 6:00pm in the Selectman’s Chambers at the Municipal Offices.
The public is invited and encouraged to attend these meetings. We are always seeking new members,
regular and alternate, to join this active and fun group to help preserve the Town’s waterways and natural
resources.

�At Community Action Partnership of Strafford County (CAPSC), we strongly believe no one should go
without having their basic needs met. As the leading anti-poverty agency in Strafford County, we strive
to empower individuals and families to achieve self-sufficiency by opening the doors to resources and
opportunities that offer a hand up, not a hand out. When we achieve this goal, we reduce the impact of
poverty and build a stronger community.
The mission of CAPSC is to educate, advocate, and assist people in Strafford County to meet their basic
needs and promote self-sufficiency. CAPSC offers over 60 coordinated programs designed to have a
measurable impact on poverty and health status among our community’s most vulnerable residents.
Programs include nutrition, housing, fuel and electrical assistance, weatherization, parent and child
education, child care, transportation, and employment and job training, all of which are locally defined,
planned, and managed in partnership with other community agencies. All programs are designed to
increase self-sufficiency and help clients become socially and financially independent. CAPSC’s goal is
to interrupt the cycle of poverty and empower at-risk children, working families, and seniors to live more
secure, stable, and healthier lives.
A private, non-profit organization established in 1965, CAPSC is governed by a volunteer Board of
Directors, one-third of whom are consumers of services. We have nearly 150 employees, and a $10
million operating budget, which includes federal, state and local funds in addition to foundation and
United Way grants, fees for service, and individual and corporate donations.
2017 Accomplishments:
Last year, CAPSC helped 10,560 Strafford County households become self-sufficient through housing,
child and parent education, utility assistance, nutrition, transportation, and job training and employment
services at a value of over $10 million. Your investment in our organization and its programs was
leveraged to provide $1,362,702 in services to 1,008 households in Farmington. These services include:
�x 286 households received a discount on their electric bill through CAPSC’s Electrical Assistance
Program at a value of $124,696,
x 292 households in Farmington received $189,508 in fuel assistance,
x 2 homes were weatherized at a value of $16,613,
x 7 individuals or families on the verge of homelessness or literally homeless received emergency
housing services,
x 95 children and their families received early childhood education and child care services,
x 8 individuals received job training and employment services, and
x 306 rides were provided to seniors in Farmington to access essential services, such as groceries
and prescriptions.
CAPSC operates emergency food pantries and outreach offices in Dover, Rochester, and Farmington, the
only food pantry in the region providing access to food five days per week at multiple sites. Head Start
services are provided at locations in Dover, Farmington, Milton, Rochester, and Somersworth, in addition
to home-based services. Our nutrition program provides over 600 holiday food baskets to families in
need each year, as well as over 40,000 meals to children ages 0 to 18 through its Summer Meals and
After-School Meals programs in 2016-2017.

�Farmington Residents:
COAST continues to see a strong demand for our services. During our FY2017 (Oct. 1,
2016 – Sept. 30, 2017) COAST once again provided just over 458,000 passenger trips
in the Greater Seacoast. COAST offers an affordable, convenient and efficient way for
individuals to access their jobs, education, medical services and commerce. Public
transit, COAST, is an important part of your community and provides an essential
service for thousands of the region’s residents.
In FY2017, the COAST Rte. 6 bus service, connecting Farmington and Rochester,
carried 23,154 passengers. This represented the third year in a row that a new annual
record was set for the total number of riders carried, 2.9% over FY2016.
COAST continues to see some of the strongest growth on our system in our federally
mandated van services for individuals with disabilities. These demand responsive
services, which can provide up to door-to-door service under the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), are for people who can not utilize the fixed-route bus system due
to a functional limitation or disability. The growth in this part of COAST’s operation is a
function of New Hampshire’s “silver tsunami” of aging adults, a growing awareness of
the services we offer and
downshifting of state
supported services (& costs)
to regional and local
communities/providers. In
FY17 COAST provided 254
rides to residents in
Farmington who qualified for
this service.
The continued success and
growth of COAST and public mass transportation statewide in New Hampshire is
indicative of the growing importance of this and other alternative modes of transportation
to our residents and local businesses. The top three reasons for riding COAST, and
public transit, are for work, school and to access commerce. Public transit provides
affordable access to employment opportunities, education/job training and the ability to
shop local, both critically important to our local and regional economies.
Public transit only exists through the public’s recognition that it is an important
component of the overall set of services that we support in our communities. Public
transit, with a low fare to ride (e.g. $1.50), does not pay for itself through user fees,
regardless of how many passengers are carried. COAST routes, despite all of our
tremendous success, have farebox recovery ratios ranging from 64% to less than 10%.
The fare to ride public transit is low to be affordable for anyone to take advantage of and
utilize on a frequent basis. There is a public benefit to this. Without community-based
public transportation options; (1) many of our region’s residents would have extremely
limited or no access to employment opportunities, healthcare and basic services, (2)
some area employers would have a harder time attracting and accessing employees, (3)

�family transportation expenses would be much higher, (4) more disabled and elderly
individuals would be unable to continue living independently in their own homes, and (5)
our streets would be more crowded.
COAST is a public, non-profit transit system that relies primarily on federal and local
government support to operate. For complete information on routes, schedules, services
and how to plan a trip using COAST, please visit our web site at www.coastbus.org.

�2017 Year in Review and “Looking Forward” from your GOODwin Library!
In addition to offering upgraded patron services, such as Notary services (free or by donation), scanning of documents, and
faxing, the library staff worked diligently to enhance our programming and outreach to our patrons and the community.
All of our programs are free and open to the public.
Our focus this year has been on new initiatives for the growth of individuals, families and the community, including:
The Family Place Library grant: We were one of only two libraries in NH to be awarded this grant in 2017.
The grant covered the cost to send 2 staff members to a four day training in NY including meals, accommodations,
conference fees and materials, as well as a stipend to launch the Family Place model here ($12,000 value).
What is a Family Place Library?- Family Place builds on the knowledge that good health, early learning, parental
involvement and supportive communities play a critical role in a young child’s growth and development. Family Place
Libraries transforms libraries into community centers for early literacy & learning, parent education and engagement,
family support and community connectivity helping to ensure all children enter school ready and able to
learn.(http://www.familyplacelibraries.org/what-family-place-library)
We are launching our first 5 week session of the Family Place Playgroup in March!
1000 Books Before Kindergarten: Improving literacy by encouraging parents to read to their children.
The concept is simple, the rewards are priceless. Read a book (any book) to your newborn, infant, and/or toddler. The
goal is to have read 1,000 books (yes you can repeat books) before your precious one starts kindergarten. Does it
sound hard? Not really, if you think about it. If you read just 1 book a night, you will have read about 365 books in a
year. That is 730 books in two years and 1,095 books in three years. If you consider that most children start
kindergarten at around 5 years of age, you have more time than you think! There are step prizes for levels achieved.
Sign up anytime!
Free Books project: This no added cost program, developed by Joyce White, is a win-win for us and the
community. We receive a LOT of donated books. We put many in circulation, and save many for our Friend’s Hay Day
sale - the remainder are candidates for this new outreach program. After placing a sticker in each book to identify
them as FREE and from the Goodwin library, we distribute them around town. We have Free Book locations at
laundromats in Farmington, Honey Dew Donuts, the Town Municipal Building (multiple locations inside) and the
Farmington Child Care center! Our goal is to make books available to anyone that wants to read or be read to.
A Million Minutes in a year: Launched Oct 2, 2017, this is a Community based outreach to read 1 million
minutes in a year! Every minute logged by community members helps push us towards our goal of reaching 1,000,000
minutes by Oct.2, 2018! Anyone can join, at any time. Come in, sign up and start tracking! Participants will be invited
to a group photo shoot, local publicity and celebratory gathering. Sign up anytime!
Donations: The Library staff are always cognizant of taxpayer money used to support your library. We routinely use
recycled items in our crafts, such as paper towel rolls, broken CD/DVDs and milk jugs. We also request donations
from the public for program needs; from craft supplies to presenters.
Community and Business: Many people and businesses support our programs through donations of items and
time. Examples include: Pumpkins from Butternut Farms for our pumpkin carving program; Graham crackers,
frosting, sprinkles, etc for our GingerBread house contest; and Lone Oak Ice Cream’s annual Ice Cream Making
program!
Summer Reading: We are able to offer really great prizes due to the generosity of our donors. We received
everything from Golick’s ice cream certificates to Story Land, Polar Cave and Water Country tickets! We are so
thankful for the support and added incentives to READ!
Solar Eclipse: We received glasses via grant donation through NASA. We had so many calls from near and far,
everyone looking for glasses... We had nearly enough glasses for everyone, and there was generous sharing amongst
the gathering so everyone had a chance to view this eclipse.
Donations from the public: Books, Audio cd’s and DVD donations are crucial, allowing us to offer items
through our collection, outreach or sale. All donations are welcome to be dropped off at the library during business
hours. If you have more than a couple boxes, please call ahead as we have limited storage.

purchase items not budgeted for, including our Heritage Quest genealogy database, Movie License, and Poet’s Tea
prizes, as well as seasonal passes to Castle in the Clouds, Children’s Museum, Strawbery Banke, NH Farm museum
and Squam Lakes Nature Center. Their annual fundraisers include a plant sale, a yard sale and the HayDay Book Sale!

Why isn’t the library open on Wednesday? As you may know, in 2017 your library was given the opportunity
to open Wednesday’s for six months on a trial basis. We had very high hopes for Wednesdays! We planned activities
for adults, children and families for most Wednesdays: Caregiver Cafe; Music & Movement, Tots and Blocks,
Yoga4Kids, (to tie in to our Family Place initiative). We blasted facebook, announced it in our newsletters and talked,
talked, talked it up. We put up banners that announced, “Now open on Wednesdays”!
The reality is, despite our efforts to get the word out and increase foot traffic, the results do not justify asking the
taxpayers for such a large increase to reopen on Wednesdays in 2018.
We do hope to revisit this possibility in the future.
Our community is growing and changing - we must keep ourselves open to growth and change as well.
The Goodwin Library is presided over by a Board of Trustees with a constitution and bylaws dating to the 1890’s. Although
the Trustees govern, manage, and have custody of the library, it is primarily supported financially by the Town of Farmington.
Therefore, the Goodwin Library strives to provide quality services and resources to the community, while cautiously spending
and using the funds available in a responsible manner. We are very grateful for our dedicated staff and volunteers; donations
from individuals and businesses, and the support of the Friends group. The library proves to be a valued institution in the
Town of Farmington, so the Goodwin Library appreciates the support for past years and the years to come by the Selectmen,
Budget Committee, and the community.
In closing, the Goodwin Library would like to extend an invitation to all people who live, work, or own property in Farmington
to visit us and sign-up for your free library card. Surrounding community members may purchase an out of town card.
For more information, please stop in to see us at 422 Main Street, phone us at 603.755.2944 or email us at
circulation@goodwinlibrary.org. We are open M/F 10am to 5pm, T/R 2pm to 8pm, and Sat 10am to 2pm.
We look forward to welcoming all new and returning patrons into the library family!
Thank-you so much for the opportunity to serve our community,
Director Tami Larock and the Staff of your Goodwin Library.

Chairman Board of Selectmen, gave an update of 2016 projects and thanked
Dale Sprague who will be retiring in June after over 36 years of service to the
Town of Farmington. Kathy King next made a presentation on behalf of the
Farmington Woman's Club. She said that, in an effort to spotlight the importance
of giving back to our community, The Farmington Woman's Club awarded its first
Woman of the Year award to Mary Barron in 2016. This year's recipient is a
loving wife and mother and a successful business owner. She quietly supports
many organizations. Whether it's recognizing teachers for all that they do,
providing food for an Eagle Scout project, hosting vendor bingos, sponsoring
youth sports or downtown banners, this woman is always willing to do what she
can to make Farmington a better place. The 2017 Farmington Woman's Club
Woman of the Year winner is Jodi Tan. The Moderator then read the results of
the election from the previous day. Michael Morin, Moderator announced that he

Board of Selectmen Recommendation: Yes
Budget Committee Recommendation: Yes
Tax Impact (-.25)
Penny Morin made a motion to approve, seconded by Arthur Capello. Jodi
Connolly stated that she felt that this budget was very good and conservative.
Bobbie Stormann offered an amendment to move money from undesignated
funds to economic development in the amount of $2500. This was seconded by
Stan Freeda. John Scruton questioned if ORA would approve this because it
was not warned in the warrant article. The Town Attorney concurred and
suggested that she change her motion to simply move money to that line.
Bobbie withdrew her original motion to amend and the second was withdrawn.
The motion was then changed to move the money from somewhere in the budget
to the Economic budget line. Tim Brown stated that he has no opposition to the
money being spent. However, community involvement is what makes it work and
we need to be sure there will be people to get involved. Arthur Capello stated
that we have openings on the Planning Board that we need people to sign up for.
Someone asked it this would still just be considered as advisory to which Arthur
replied yes. Linda McElhinney asked since it is a minimal amount of money
could we make an amendment to bind it and reallocate it to this line. It was
stated that if Farmington qualifies and we have the volunteers the Board of
Selectmen will find the money within the operating budget. The issue of a Town
Planner, whether hired or contracted is on the agenda for discussion for Monday
114
�night. A motion to call the question was made, duly seconded and approved by a
show of cards vote. The amendment needed a counted show of cards vote
which ended yes 27 no 40. It was asked if there could be a recount at another
time for people who were not here tonight. That cannot happen. Linda
McElhinney asked to have a vote on a recommendation to the board to find the
$2500 in the budget for the UNH initiative, seconded by Neil Johnson. This was
approved by a show of cards vote. It was pointed out again that it is advisory
only. Randy Orvis made a motion to increase the Planning Budget by $40,000 to
hire a full time planner, seconded by Stephen Henry. It was explained that the
discussion was being had at the meeting on Monday whether to stay with
contracted part-time or not. The Town Attorney asked for a line item which was
4191-4193 which was made into a friendly motion and second. After much
discussion, Pat Frisella asked in response to the need for volunteers how often
does the budget committee meet and are the meetings open to the public? It
was explained that they meet the 4th Wednesday of the month and during
budget season, several times a month. The meetings are posted and televised.
Manny Krasner said he had hesitated to speak but that it seems a number of
things are clear and you cannot just hand your town to a planner. The town has
to make some decisions and volunteers need to come forward. Then, once you
have a sense of what you want to do, you need to make it your policy and then
you need to hire someone to have them implement it. A motion to call the
question was made by Tim Brown, seconded by Stephen Henry and approved by
a show of cards vote. The amendment to add $40,000 failed by a show of cards
vote. Arthur Capello made a motion to call the question, duly seconded and
approved by a show of cards vote. Article 3 was approved by a show of cards
vote. Arthur Capello made a motion to restrict reconsideration, duly seconded
and approved by a show of cards vote

withdrew his amendment. Angie Cardinal asked what the current balance in the
fund is. Arthur Capello said it was spent down last year and is minimal. Being

a grant and the $30,000 match is our in kind for doing work. It is a principle
forgiveness loan. John Scruton said that the state has had difficulty in the past

�Board of Selectmen Recommends: Yes
Budget Committee Recommends: Yes
Tax Impact Year 1: .02
Tax Impact Year 2: .01
Tax Impact Year 3: .02
Stephen Henry made a motion to approve Article 23, seconded by Sylvia
Arcouette. Being no discussion Article 23 was approved by a show of cards
vote.
Article 24: To move the Annual Town Meeting
To see if the Town will vote to schedule the resumption of the Annual Town
Meeting to the Saturday in March following the Tuesday balloting, beginning at
9:30 a.m. and running for as long as necessary, with, if necessary, a break for
lunch. (by petition)
Penny Morin made a motion to approve Article 24, seconded by Stanley Freeda.
John Scruton stated that he believes that the Board of Selectmen are the only
ones with authority so he wished to amend to ask them to consider but leave it at
their discretion, seconded by Neil Johnson. Town meeting does not have the
authority to bind the Board of Selectmen to a date. The town attorney concurred
that the article would be advisory. Even if were to be passed overwhelming, it
would still only be a recommendation. The Board members were asked their
feelings with most in agreement that they would have to have a discussion
hearing the pros and cons and then have a full board discussion. Arthur Capello
made a motion to call the question on the amendment which was duly seconded
and approved by a show of cards vote. The amendment was opposed by a show
of cards vote. Joyce White spoke that she was the one who brought it forward
because every year she is here until the end and last year it was until midnight.
After some discussion pro and con, Charlie King made a motion to call the
question, seconded by Arthur and approved by a show of cards vote. The vote
on the article was then taken and called to have been approved by the
Moderator, but it was requested by a voter to have a counted vote. The
Moderator took this as a challenge and had a standing counted card vote. This
resulted in a 33-33 tie, which the Moderator broke by voting in the affirmative
which made it approved by a 34-33 vote. A motion to restrict reconsideration was
made, duly seconded and then someone announced that their vote was not
counted and she was voting in the negative. The Town Attorney said that a
motion to restrict reconsideration was on floor and had to be dealt with first and, it
that passed, the vote could not be counted. The motion to restrict was
approved by a counted show of cards vote of yes 35 no 32. The Vote on Article
21 was announced at this point. (see Article 21)

�Arthur Capello made a motion to adjourn at 10:00PM, seconded by Stephen
Henry and approved by a show of cards vote.
