�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 &amp; a NH resident for one year prior to application. Requires DD214. D
Elderly Exemption: Must be 65 years of age prior to April 1st &amp; 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:

�2018 FCTV Report

Robert Hall
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 &amp; 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 &amp; Rescue Department strive to produce a professional and
dignified resource to all of those that require our services.

requires a complete community effort; the FPIO donated the tree in the center of town in addition to
hanging the lights, the Public Works Department installs the tree, the Fire Department helps the
Recreation Department decorate the tree and transports Santa Clause to the event while the Police
Department provides traffic control.
December 14, 2018- 25 people attended the Santa Meet and Greet &amp; Recreation Department’s After

�2018 Farmington Parks &amp; Recreation Report
families for no charge. When the children were done with Santa they walked through the gym admiring
art projects.

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 &amp; 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 &amp; 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 &amp; 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.

Respectfully Submitted,

Rick Conway

�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

�Statistically this year:
Total reported offenses were down nearly 4% from 2017.
Subcategories: Crimes against persons were down 12%. Crimes against property were down

year by 14% with 24 arrests. The officers had a very busy year with about 11,224 calls for
service compared to about 10,576 in 2017 We were still able to accomplish many goals, such as
increasing traffic enforcement and community policing all while being shorthanded 1 officer for
much of the year. An interesting statistic is our average response time for all types of calls is
under 6 minutes. Average response time for emergency calls is less than 150 seconds.
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

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.
Respectfully submitted,
Gary Rogers
Public works Director

�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 &amp; #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 &amp; #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 &amp;
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.

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 (&amp; 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%.

42 Sumner Drive  Dover, NH  03820  (603) 743-5777  www.coastbus.org

�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.
Respectfully Submitted,

Rad Nichols
Executive Director

�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!
Library Director,
Tami A. Larock

�STRAFFORD REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION 2018 TOWN REPORT

Established by state legislation in 1969, New Hampshire’s regional planning commissions serve in an advisory
role to local governments and community organizations. The mission of the Strafford Regional Planning

�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 &amp; 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.

A motion was made by Steve Henry to approve Article 5 as written, seconded by Sylvia Arcouette. Discussion
opened with David Kestner, Planning Board Chair, making a motion to increase the budget by $7300 to bring the
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

Manny Krasner asked for the fund balance, TA Arthur Capello indicated a balance of $76,549. Steve Henry asked if

coming from the insurance claim.
Tim Brown asked if there would be a new truck by the next storm. TA Arthur Capello, said they are already getting an

Johnson explained that revaluation next year will run $70000-$80000. Penny Morin asked for the fund balance, it
was stated to have a balance of $25000. Angie Cardinal asked if all towns in the state require a reevaluation. TA
Arthur Capello responded that it is required every 5 years by the state. Full list reassessment is much more
expensive than statistical revaluation, so this will be a statistical one, with a full one in 5 years. With no further
discussion, Article 10 was approved as written by a show of cards vote.

5 of 7

�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
question, Riley Stanchina seconded. A motion to call the question was approved by a show of cards vote. With no
further discussion, Article 17 was approved as written with a show of cards vote.

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)

�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.

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.
