Assorted Beulah Thayer 100th Birthday Celebration Photo Mementos
Description
An account of the resource
A selection of Beulah Thayer 100th birthday celebration photos, mementos, and cards. Some of the items are store bought, which means mass produced. Many are also hand made. Each one has personal sentiments and often a signature from townspeople, friends, and family members who wished to offer congratulations, thoughts, memories, and to extend community support from becoming a centenarian. The child cards often include art and talk about themselves, or their aspirations. A few are hand written or typed letters. One item, from he White House, includes well wishes from President and First Lady Obama.
The interiors of the items can only be viewed by appointment and will not be published online because of the handwriting samples and signatures.

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.

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.

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. This year, the Board welcomed
three new members, including Gerry Vachon (BOS Representative), Ann Titus (Member), and Jeremy Squires
(Alternate Member).
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.
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:

�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.

�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 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

�Article 08 Plow Truck
To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Board of Selectmen, as the governing body, to enter into a

truck and to raise and appropriate the sum of $21,788 for the first year's payment for that purpose. This
lease/purchase agreement contains an escape clause. (Majority vote required).
NOTE: The Board of Selectmen will negotiate the interest rate on the lease/purchase as shall be in the
best interest of the Town.
Selectmen Recommend: Yes (5-0) Budget Committee Recommend: Yes (7-0) Estimated Tax Impact: .04
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.
Article 09 Pumper/Tanker Fire Truck and necessary fire equipment.
To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Board of Selectmen, as the governing body, to enter into a
ten (10) year lease/purchase agreement in the amount of $515,604 for the lease/purchase of a new
pumper/tanker fire truck and to raise and appropriate the sum of $57,258.69 for the first year's payment
for that purpose. This lease/purchase agreement contains an escape clause. (Majority vote required).
NOTE: The Board of Selectmen will negotiate the interest rate on the lease/purchase as shall be in the
best interest of the Town.
Selectmen Recommend: Yes (5-0) Budget Committee Recommend: Yes (7-1)
Estimated Tax Impact: .11
Ann Titus made a motion to approve Article 9 as written, seconded by Sylvia Arcouette. The Fire Chief
explained that we are replacing the 1991 pumper which has been out of service for almost 4 years. This
will bring us back up to three and help with water supply for fires when needed. Being no discussion,
Article 9 was approved by a show of cards vote.
Article 10 Operating Budget
To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the Budget Committee recommended sum of
$7,167,884 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 (8-0)
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.

about the renewal of current contract which contains only salary adjustments of 3% this year, 2.5% for
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.

of holdover for sick time to 160 hours holdover. Neil stated that it was an estimated tax impact. Stephen
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
voters who are currently in the room. The Moderator explained the procedure. Voting started at 7:45 and
ended at 8:03. The Moderator chose to move on to other articles while the Supervisors were counting.

Shall the Town of Farmington, if Article #13 is defeated, authorize the governing body to call one special
meeting, at its option, to address Article #13 cost items only?

because we have no idea what might be needed for the bridge. Motion to restrict failed by a show of
cards vote. The vote on Article 13 was Yes 67 no 11. Tim Brown made a motion to take Article 14 off the
table, seconded by Joshua Whitehouse. Stephen Henry asked what happens if we just leave it on the table
and go on. Tim Brown withdrew his motion and Joshua withdrew his second. The Moderator said we
would now go to Article 24.
Article 24 Bridges and Road Design CRF
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
Shall the town modify the provisions of RSA 72:39-a for elderly exemption from property tax in the
Town of Farmington, based on assessed value, for qualified taxpayers, to be as follows: for a person 65

Penny Morin made a motion to approve Article 15 as written, seconded by Sylvia Arcouette. Tim Brown
said that a lot of our elderly have everything in a trust and he wanted to know if this included them. The
Town Attorney explained that the trust beneficiaries are entitled to this same benefit. Tim made a motion
to amend the net income for couples from $50,000 to $60,000 seconded by Jeremy Squires. The
amendment was approved by a show of cards vote. Article 15, as amended, was then approved by a show
of cards vote.

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.

(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
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 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.

The Department also enforces housing and health violations, reviews all new Business Use applications for zoning
compliance, and inspects all daycare and foster care licensees for compliance.
The Department would like to recognize Sarah Morse,
the new Land Use Assistant, whom has taken on the
enormous task of compiling all the Department’s separate
files into one file per Map & Lot, familiarizing herself
with all of the Building Codes and Zoning Ordinances, as
well as assisting the Town’s new interim Planner, Mr.
Kyle Pimental.

�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
Farmington.
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.

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

is a celebration that includes adult and children’s activities & entertainment. Saturday’s schedule included
games, vendors and of course the annual Bed Race. A new addition to this year’s entertainment was the

and Ms. Russell’s 6th-10th Grade Chorus. 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; 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

Acknowledgments:
The Recreation Department is very grateful for the efforts of all their staff and volunteers for their work
to fund the Hay Day Fireworks through fundraisers and donations. In addition to fundraising for the

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.
Sincerely,
John (Jay) P. Drury
Chief of Police

�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,
Public works Director
�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.

�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.
The following statistics show expenditures for 2019:

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]

�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”.

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.
2019 Awards and Recognition

Yes 330 no 190
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.

�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

�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

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

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

11
�general fund unless we create a revolving fund. Article 24 creates the revolving fund to move the money
in to. Article 23 is not necessary if 22 and 24 both pass because now the money is in a fund that the

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

�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.

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
fctv26.vibit.com.Bulletin Board applications are available at the town website: www.farmington.nh.us.For

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.

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
competitions including dodge ball and tug of war (moms vs. sons). The participants ate tacos prepared
by Recreation Volunteers and had ice cream for dessert. Tickets to the Mom/Son Activity Night were
$25/couple and $10/additional child.
April 14, 2017- The Flashlight Easter Egg Hunt is a free event held at Fernald Park. This year we spread
6,000 candy filled eggs throughout the park and children ran through with their flashlights and baskets
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
Conservation Commission, Grace Community Church and the Community Action Program all hosted free
activities during the event. The Recreation Department sold concessions during the event; items sold
included hotdogs, candy, popsicles, water and soda.
August 19-20, 2017- The Recreation Department hosted its 36th Annual “Tigers Den” themed Hay Day.
Hay Day is a weekend long celebration (8/19- 8/20) with adult and children’s activities & entertainment.
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

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.

�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.
38
�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!

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)

106
�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.
108
�Regretfully, we do not take Encyclopedias, Textbooks, Reader's Digest Condensed books, VHS or Cassette tapes, nor
items damaged by weather, mold, mildew or insects.
Friends of the Goodwin Library: Our biggest sponsor for library needs outside of our budget! The Friends
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!
New Book Bags are on order! Look for a beefier tote with a new design, coming soon.
Want to join? Get involved and make some new FRIENDS! Stop in the library or download a membership form from:

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.

�Moderator, Michael Morin opened the meeting at 7:02 by having the Boy Scouts
present the colors and lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. Charlie King,
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
was going to start with the articles requiring ballot vote, starting with Article 5.

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
Article 04: Long Term Lease

School Operations and Maintenance SRF to restrict 100% of revenues from the
lease of any space in the Municipal Office to expenditures for the purpose of
repairs and maintenance of the Municipal Office. Such revenues and
expenditures shall be accounted for in this special revenue fund to be known as
the Main Street Municipal Office Maintenance Fund, separate from the general

related to the purpose of the fund or source of the revenue (2/3 vote required).

Arthur Capello made a motion to approve Article 5, seconded by Penny Morin.
Arthur Capello explained the article. Tim Brown made a motion to amend to
have the Board of Selectmen be the agents to expend. Arthur Capello explained
that ORA had advised him that this was not allowed for Special Revenue Funds.
The law only allows that expenditures be brought to the legislative body. Tim
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

which was approved by a show of cards vote. The balloting opened at this time.

time and he supports the article. Charlie King stated that he agrees in principal,
but this is consistent with the funding approved originally and the cost sharing

122
�Recommended by the Budget Committee Yes
Arthur Capello made a motion to approve Article 21, seconded by Stephen
Henry. It was explained that the purpose of program is to assist us in looking at
our infrastructure, its' useful life and location. This is a low interest loan made
available through the state. You only pay interest as you draw it down. lfwe find
a vendor to accept a payment at the end, there is no draw-down to pay interest
on. Manny Krasner asked if you then pay back what you borrow. It was
explained by Arthur Capello that, whatever the cost is up to $60,000, $30,000 is
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
funding this. Jason Gagnon, Deputy Public Works Director said that we are
already qualified for the money. Being no further discussion, the Moderator called
the question and we went back to the ballot box. 64 yes 5 no

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.

�TO THE READER.
Are you a Christian? If not, remember: "Now is
the accepted time, behold now is the day of salvation"
Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth and the life:"
44
Come unto me
and
I will give
all
you
ye that labor and are heavy laden
rest."
If a Christian, why are you not a member of the
Church? Is your present position, in this respect, the
one that you would desire to see your friends occupy?
All those are welcomed into our fold whom, in the
judgment of charity, we believe that Christ will welcome into his fold above.
If you wish to unite with us, please read our Confession of Faith, Covenant and Rules of Church Government and make your desire known, at once, to the
pastor or any member.
Should you desire to unite
with us by letter from another church your certificate
may be handed to the pastor or any member of the
Church Committee.

FORM OF ADMISSION
ON PROFESSION OF FAITH.
ADDRESS.
Beloved Friends:
assembly
for the
You have now come before this
purpose of confessing your faith in
Lord Jesus Christ; of consecrating yourselves to
the service of God; and of entering into a special
fellowship with this church.
It is a solemn act, but if done without reservation
and in humble dependence upon God's sustaining grace
the
it
will
be a source of great strength and comfort to
you.
That you may unite with us intelligently we ask
vour attention and assent to that form of religious beas the visible bond of
lief which has been adopted
our fellowship.
Hear, then, the Confession of Faith.
We believe:
That the Scriptures of the Old and New
Testaments are given by the inspiration of God, and
infallible revelation to manare the perfect and the only
kind of religious truth and duty. And we believe that
they teach these fundamental doctrines:
That there is but one God A Spirit infinite in all
Creator and Govnatural and moral perfections; the
as Father, Son and Holy
ernor of all things, existing
—
Ghost.
That man was created
^
sinless,
but in conse-
quence of the first transgression all are by nature
without holiness, and alienated from God.
That the sufferings and death of Christ meet all the
of justice, and form the only ground for the
demands
forgiveness of sin.
That salvation
is
freely,
sincerely,
and earnestly
of repentance toward
offered to all men on condition
and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
God
without
That the influences of the Holy Spirit,
gracioush given
which none would truly repent, are
to all.
�7
That tLe distinguishing ordinances of Christ's visible church are Baptism and the Lord's Supper.
That there will be a resurrection of all the dead,
who will be judged according to their acts in life; and
that the wicked will, in the language of Scripture,
'go away into everlasting punishment, but the right4
eous into life eternal."
This you severally profess to believe.
[The ordinance of Baptism will now be administered
to those who have not previously received it.
To those who have been previously baptized, the
minister shall say; having been heretofore baptized
in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy
Ghost, you now acknowledge that consecration of
yourself to God.]
Attend now to The Covenant. You do now in the
presence of God and this assembly, solemnly avow
the Lord Jehovah, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, to
be the supreme object of your love, and your only
hope of salvation. You also consecrate all that you
are and possess to the service of your Maker and
the good of your fellowmen; and you promise by
the help of God, that henceforth you will endeavor
to walk humbly and uprightly before God and the
world. You do also in an especial manner covenant
yourself with this church, agreeing to submit to its
rules of government and discipline; to attend when
practicable, upon all its ordinances; to seek its peace,
purity and best interests, and to walk with its members in sympathy, toleration, courtesy and sobriety.
In view of such a belief and these promises, [here
the church rises] we, the members of this church,
affectionately receive you into our fellowship, ami
declare you entitled to all the privileges of this church
and a sharer of all its responsibilities and on our
part agee to watch over you with christian sympathy
and forbearance, and to seek your good in all things
while you remain with us.

Public Safety Building Ground Breaking Ceremony, June 2016
Selectmen Ann Titus, Neil Johnson, Charlie King, Paula Proulx and Jim Horgan
2016 marks a year of significant progress for Farmington. At the March Town Meeting voters approved the
construction of a new Public Safety Building which will house the Police and Fire/Rescue Departments. We broke
ground in June, 2016 and construction is on time and under budget. The project is expected to be completed in
February 2017.
The Town signed an agreement with NH Solar Gardens to place a 1 megawatt solar garden on top of the landfill. This
solar garden should provide enough power to operate all of the Town buildings at a discounted rate. If enough power is
generated, residents may also be able to receive power at a discounted rate generated from the solar garden. The Town
will also receive approximately $13,000.00 in revenue. There is a 20 year lease to be ratified by the Town that would
allow additional revenue and savings each year. This operation should be up and running the summer of 2017.
Over the next 18 months, the Main Street Bridge is being replaced as part of a statewide bridge replacement program.
There should be little to no interruption to traffic.
Farmington Childcare Center along with the Town applied for and was successfully awarded a $500,000 grant for
significant renovations to the center including solar panels.
The Public Works Department welcomed Jason Gagnon as Deputy Public Works Director. Jason will ultimately take
over Dale Sprague’s position as Director upon Dale’s retirement this year.
With hard work and diligence we were able to reduce the Town portion of the tax rate by .59 cents ultimately reducing
the overall tax rate by .06 cents. We will be able to maintain the current Town’s portion of the tax rate in the proposed
2017 budget even with the bond that was voted on last year.
As Chairman I would like to thank my fellow Selectmen for upholding their oath to serve the Town and its citizens and
making 2016 a successful year. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank the volunteers on all the boards and
committees for their continued commitment. Finally I would like to extend a thank you to all of the Town employees
for their hard work and diligence in the daily operation of the Town.
We encourage residents to get involved, attend meetings and volunteer. Lastly, we wish you all a happy and healthy
year. We look forward to serving the Town of Farmington.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles King
Chairman, Board of Selectmen
�John Fitch, 1929-2016
The Board of Selectmen have dedicated this report to John Fitch
In 1968, John Fitch left his job as a fulltime firefighter in Sudbury Mass and he, his wife Elenor
and four children moved to Farmington. It wasn’t long before he became a vital contributor to
the community in so many aspects and continued to be for the next 48 years.
John, fondly known as “Fitchy” served as a Police Officer in 1969 and then joined the Fire
Department where he helped to train new Firefighters and responded to calls. In the 1980’s he
opened a bar on Mechanic Street aptly called “John’s Place” which became the happening local
watering hole.
In 2000 John was elected to the Board of Selectmen for a three year term. At different times he
was also Code Enforcement/Health Officer as well as Dog Officer for the Town during his busy
life here in Farmington.
He fought for his country in WWII in the Army and continued to serve and help others until the
end. Fitchy was very proud of the Town he called home, the Town where he raised his kids and
formed many bonds and friendships. His family would like everyone to know how much they
appreciate the support and love they received towards the end of John’s life. There were people
lined up at the door to visit him in his last days. His daughter said it was like he was able to
attend his own wake which is how it should be; he knew he was loved.
�������������������2016 Public Works Department
Highway Report
Ernie M., Eric E., Keith H., Will C., Robert G., Jason G. John R. and Dale S.
In 2016 the Department of Public Works (DPW) paved 0.3 miles of Main St. from Central St. up to the split at Bay
Rd. and Charles St., paved 2.6 miles of Spring St. from Central St. to Rt. 11, and paved 1.6 miles of Meetinghouse
Hill Rd. from Rt.11 to Ten Rod Rd. The DPW crew spent a great deal of time preparing these roads for paving by
repaving severely deteriorated sections of existing pavement, grading shoulders, and repairing drainage. The DPW
worked on a1.0 mile section of dirt road on Meaderboro Rd. and ditched shoulders, added or replaced culverts as
needed, scarified existing gravel surface, and added new crush gravel to improve the road. We will continue to
work on gravel roads that we have identified to be lacking adequate gravel and with poor drainage. In 2017 and in
years to follow, roadway rehabilitation and sidewalk improvements throughout the Town must continue to be one
of the primary focuses for the DPW.
The amount of roadways that are improved on an annual basis will be a function of the budget that is approved by
Town of Farmington residents. The current cost to reconstruct a mile of road is aprox. $185,000 that includes
grinding existing asphalt in place, reshaping road profile, compaction, and repaving. The DPW’s mission will be to
continue to improve the condition of the Town’s roads and sidewalks for public safety and infrastructure longevity,
and to develop long and short-term maintenance objectives. The Director of Public Works will work closely with
the Town Administrator and Board of Selectmen to develop a roadway and sidewalk rehabilitation and maintenance
plan.
The DPW will also continue its focus on maintaining and repairing existing drainage ditches and storm-water
swales, catch basins, culverts, in conjunction with gravel road and paved road improvements. In addition, pavement
striping, painting of crosswalks for pedestrian’s safety, the application of calcium chloride for dust control
measures, and tree maintenance are also performed throughout the year.
The DPW continues to maintain roadways and sidewalks during the winter months by plowing, sanding and salting,
and patching potholes. Damaged mailboxes in the winter are an ongoing problem. The drivers do not intentionally
hit them. The damage is most often caused by heavy wet snow/slush coming off the wing plow and striking a
mailbox that is old and not maintained. Mailboxes should be set to a standard height and a standard distance off the
roadway as specified by the local U.S. Postal Service. Each fall residents who have rural mailboxes should check
that their mailbox is sufficiently attached and supported to withstand winter plowing.
The Department of Public Works maintains all Town-owned vehicles including Police, Fire, Water, Wastewater,
Transfer Station, Recreation, and its own fleet vehicles. The department is developing a systematic approach for
performing routine and preventative maintenance of the Town’s fleet vehicles with the intent of prolonging the life
of the vehicles and equipment that it operates. The DPW will continue working on refining the maintenance
schedules, and performing preventative maintenance repairs throughout 2017.
Respectfully Submitted,
Dale Sprague, Director of Public Works

Landfill/Transfer Station Report
Pete S. & Dennis O.
In 2012 the Department of Public Works (DPW) worked closely with its’ consultant CMA Engineers Inc.,
the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES), and with Northeast Earth Mechanics to
complete the closure of the Town of Farmington’s landfill in October 2012. Additionally, the town submitted
an application for partial reimbursement of the landfill closure costs to the NHDES. The application for
reimbursement was approved in December 2013 and the Town is receiving these funds on an annual basis.
In May 2012 the Town officially opened and began operating our new transfer station. A list of the
materials that the transfer station is permitted by the NHDES to accept is posted on the Town’s website, and is
also located at the transfer station and Municipal Building. With the opening of the transfer station the Town
discontinued sorting, bailing and marketing its recyclables to outside vendors and/or end-users, and began
receiving and processing its recyclables utilizing the “single-stream” method which allows all recyclables
(including all plastics) to be disposed of by the Town’s residents into one compactor. Acceptable recyclables
include plastic number 1 thru 7 narrow necked containers, tin, aluminum, glass containers, and paper materials
including newspaper, magazines, mixed paper, junk mail, and cardboard. We encourage all residents to recycle.
Recycling reduces your individual costs by reducing the number of Town trash decals you have to purchase and
also saves the Town budget $46/ton in tipping fees. As of Jan. 1, 2017 the days of operation have been changed
to Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday from 8am to 4pm.
Thank you to all those who continue to use the Town’s transfer station and who actively participate in the
Town’s recycling efforts. In 2016 the Town sent 518.03 tons of municipal solid waste to the Turnkey landfill
for disposal along with 353.56 tons of bulky/demo wastes. Residents recycled 337.51 tons using single stream
recycling with a recycling rate of 40% by weight. The residents also recycled 9138 pounds of electronics and
68.4 tons of scrap metal. We continue to encourage comments and/or suggestions that may assist us as we
continue to fine tune the operations of our new transfer station in 2017. Our mission is to continue to better
serve the residents of Farmington in a professional, courteous, timely, and efficient manner.
Respectfully submitted,
Dale Sprague

�2016 Conservation Commission Report
2016 proved to be yet another productive year for the Conservation Commission. Early on
we partnered with South East Land Trust (SELT) to conserve 52+/- acres on Pound Rd. We are
currently awaiting to see if we are awarded a grant that will help offset the cost. We hope to
close on this project in 2017.
The Town received a small parcel on Bay Rd, adjacent to the old mill pond, that now gives us
6 separate lots that make up our Town Forest. There is now over 160 acres there for the public
to enjoy non-invasive recreational activities. We have formatted and started implementation of
a management plan at the Town Forest that will continue through 2017.
Over on River Rd, we are in the feasibility stages of possibly creating a handicap accessible
fishing area along the Mad River. This project is going to be a big one so any help that can be
offered would be greatly appreciated. Also on River Rd, continued maintenance is occurring on
the Dubois conservation area.
Our biggest achievement in 2016 was the creation of Farmington’s 1st marked hiking trail.
This trail is located on the French conservation area, located at 30 Hornetown Rd. Here you will
find an approximately one mile trail that is marked with placards and blazes. Foot bridges (7 of
them) have been placed throughout to help you traverse the wet areas. A map of the trail can
be found at the kiosk located in the parking area.
Once again, the Commission is proud to be a sponsor for a Henry Wilson School student that
attended the Barry 4-H Conservation Camp in Berlin. This is an awesome opportunity for the
student to learn about the outdoors that otherwise would never have the chance to. We are
expecting to sponsor another student to attend in 2017.
As we continue our mission to educate the public about conservation, we are currently
working with the Farmington School Board to institute a recycling program within the schools.
�2016 Conservation Commission Report
In 2016 we presented a power point presentation to the science classes in Farmington High
School that showed the importance of reduce, reuse and recycle. Our goal is to continue this
program for some time.
At our annual spring clean-up in May; with the help of Boy Scout Troop 188, the Farmington
Police Department, the Farmington Department of Public Works, and several volunteers, we
were able to collect over 700 lbs of trash and litter that happened to find its’ way to our roads.
We will host another clean-up this spring so please make plans to help us keep Farmington
clean. The more volunteers, the more we can do.
The Conservation Commission is funded by a number of venues. 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 diminished 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 on the second Wednesday of the
month with the exception of March. We convene at 6pm in the Selectman’s chamber at the
Municipal Offices located at 356 Main St. The public is always invited and encouraged to attend
our meetings. We are always seeking new members, regular and alternate, to join this fun and
active group to help preserve the Town’s waterways and natural resources.
Respectfully Submitted
Dave Connolly, Chairman
�Town of Farmington

��Gerald R. McCarthy
The Board of Selectmen have dedicated this report to Gerald R. McCarthy
Gerald, or “Jerry”, as most people knew him, was a lifelong resident of Farmington. He married his
high school sweet heart Beverly and they raised their three children here in his hometown of Farmington.
After serving in the United States Army, Jerry became a Master Electrician and worked in the local area.
He was a member of the I.B.E.W. Local 490 where he served as president for many years and also as an
instructor in their apprenticeship program.
Deeply rooted in Farmington he served on numerous boards and committees including the School
Board, The Budget Committee, The Conservation Committee, Trustees of the Cemetery Association and
most notably the Board of Selectmen where he held the seat of Chairman. He was also a State
Representative in Concord.
Jerry was a longtime coach and board member of the Farmington 500 Boys and Girls Club. It was a
proud and well deserved occasion in 2008 when Jerry was inducted into the Sports Hall of Fame. He was
a shareholder and member of the Board of Directors at the Farmington Country Club where he played for
years in the “Men’s Twilight League”. In addition to golfing, Jerry enjoyed fishing and other outdoor
activities and was a member of the Farmington Fish and Game Club. As a member of the Elks Men’s
Pool League, he could occasionally be found there shooting a game of pool.
The moment he was gone he was missed; immediately the Town felt a void. We here at the Municipal
offices miss seeing him come in to “stir the pot” as he often said. Whether you agreed or not with Jerry
and his politics, it was hard not to like him; his humble disposition and dry sense of humor. He was a
dedicated citizen of Farmington and always had the best interest of this Town and its people at heart.
�2015 Chairman’s Report
Paula Proulx, Charlie King, James Horgan, Neil Johnson
The year 2015 was a year of much change and progress for The Town of Farmington. We welcomed a new Town
Administrator Arthur Capello; longtime resident who has worked his way up through municipal government gaining
experience and knowledge earning the opportunity to serve his and our community
Long time Firefighter James Reinert, after serving as interim Fire Chief, was hired as full time Chief in August. His
experience and dedication will prove to be a great asset to the Town and the safety of its citizens.
The Board, Staff and Engineers worked closely on developing a plan for a new Public Safety Building that will both
meet the needs of the Town and at the same time minimize the impact on the taxpayers. Voters will have the opportunity to
vote on a warrant article approving the construction of a new Public Safety Building. We urge residents to ask questions
and become informed on our proposal.
With hard work and diligence we were able to decrease the Town Tax Portion from $7.18 in 2014 to $7.06 in 2015.
When the Town was faced with ending the long time tradition to string Christmas lights from the power poles,
residents spoke up, a committee was formed and because of their efforts, a plan was established. This year saw the
beginning of the implementation of the proposal which included placing new poles in Town to hang the lights and other
holiday decorations.
In an effort to attract business and industry to Farmington, a TIF (Tax Increment Finance) district was approved by
voters at Town Meeting.
We experienced a great loss in 2015 with the death of sitting Selectman Jerry McCarthy. His absence is made sadly
evident each meeting by the empty chair at the Selectmen’s table where Jerry once sat. Jerry was a dedicated citizen of
Farmington fully involved in so many aspects of the community; he will be greatly missed. The Selectmen have dedicated
this report in his memory and in thanks to the many years of service he gave to the Town of Farmington.
As Chairman, I would like to thank the current board for a productive year working together. My fellow Selectmen
and I wish to thank the volunteers on all of the Boards and Committees for their continued hard work and progress. We
would also like to extend a big thank you to all of the Town employees for their contribution to the smooth operation of
Town Business, Public Safety and Citizen Protection.
We encourage residents to get involved, attend meetings and volunteer. Lastly, we wish you all a happy and healthy
year and we look forward to serving the Town of Farmington,
Respectfully submitted,
Charles King,
Chairman, Board of Selectmen

On July 21, 2015 the Town of Farmington hired me as Town Administrator. I am extremely
proud to serve the Town and I want thank the staff and residents of Farmington for welcoming me to
the position. I look forward to working with all the staff, residents and business owners. In 2015 we
also welcomed James Reinert as the new Fire Chief. Chief Reinert has been a long time member of the
Farmington Fire Department (15 years). Please stop by the fire station to welcome James.
Over all it was a good year for the Town. Through the hard work of the staff and the Board of
Selectmen, residents saw a Town tax rate decrease from $7.18 (2014) to $7.06 (2015).
The Town continues to make great progress on road repairs and pavement. In 2015 the Highway
Department paved Main Street and Ridge Road as well as several others. The Highway Department
will continue their progress on Town roads.
Sadly, among all the good news came some unhappy news: the Town lost lifelong resident and
sitting selectmen, Gerry McCarthy. Gerry was born and raised in Farmington. He was extremely
community-minded and very involved. Gerry will truly be missed.
I look forward to an exciting 2016. Please feel free to stop in any time. My door is always open.
Respectfully submitted,
Arthur Capello, Town Administrator

vote to vote in the affirmative such as "I move that we not adopt the budget."
9. Motions to Call the Question limit debate and requires a 2/3 vote. If passed,
these motions stop debate on a motion. However, voters who are standing at

voters except, the Moderator will allow non-resident Town officials,
consultants or experts who are at the Meeting to provide information about an
Article to speak.

vote of the Meeting, there is no rule that can be adopted that can absolutely
prevent the reconsideration of an Article.

only in two (2) instances:
a. To break a tie or;
b. To make a vote a tie vote if a motion the Moderator opposes would

�Assessing Department
2015 Report
The Assessing Office is responsible for ensuring equitable assessments, which distribute
the Town’s tax burden in accordance with New Hampshire statues. 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 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.
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. Although only limited information is available to the general
public, for those companies that have an Avitar subscription, they will be able to access
the information they need without having to call or make a trip to the municipal offices.
The website can be accessed at http://data.avitarassociates.com. 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
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.

2015 was another busy and productive year for the Farmington Fire & Rescue Department. I was named
acting Chief in February and then hired as the full time Chief in August. The Department kept very busy
responding to emergency calls. We finished the year out with a total of 1442 calls for service; 1085 EMS and 357
fire calls. This is a 6% increase over last year’s call volume. The Fire Inspection/Prevention Program conducted
over 150 life safety inspections and provided fire safety education to over 350 school children.
On July 4th a long time member of the Department, Firefighter Robert “Bob” Richer had to take an extended
leave of absence due to a life altering medical event. FF. Richer has always been a dedicated member not only to
this Department but also the Town of Farmington. We wish FF. Richer a speedy recovery so he can return to the
Department to do what he does best, serve the community.
The Department hosted an Emergency Medical Responder class in December. The departments 33 member
roster is full and we are anticipating 32 out of the 33 personnel will be duel certified by the end of February. This is
the first time we will have such a high number of duel certified members since the merger of the Farmington Fire
Department and the Farmington Volunteer Ambulance Corporation.
I worked closely the past year with the Board of Selectmen, the Police Chief and the Town Administrator in
developing plans for a new Public Safety Building. We were able to develop a plan that would meet the needs of
both the Police & Fire Departments and also have as little of an impact on the taxpayers.
I would like to personally thank the Farmington Fireman’s Relief Association for their continued support of
the Department and the community. They hosted the Toys for Tots program again in 2015 and with their continued
efforts and generous donations from the community, the holidays were made much brighter for 93 families and 233
children.
In closing I would like to take the time to thank everyone for the support I have received as Chief, I look
forward to serving the Farmington Fire & Rescue Department and the Town of Farmington for many years to come.
I feel we are headed in the right direction and will continue to fight to provide a professional and respectable
service to this community.
Respectfully Submitted,
James D. Reinert
Chief of 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 2016.
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, tubing and Hilltop Fun Center.

Summer Programs:
The Recreation Department offers two camps during the summer (Grades 1-3 & Grades 4-6). Each camp
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. The Grades
4-6 Camp ended their summer with a trip to the WORKS in Somersworth, NH where they swam before
returning to Farmington where they were “locked in” to the Recreation Department’s Gym overnight.
The Recreation Department continued its Counselor in Training (CIT) program this year. Children age
13+ were eligible to apply for five 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 2016 should contact the Recreation
Department in May.
Adult/Senior Programs:
In 2015 our Adult/Senior Programs consisted of 31 trips and activities in addition to 55+ Bingo every
Wednesday. Some of the trips that were offered were to: The Circus, a Fisher Cats game, plays at the
Leddy Theatre, holiday shopping trips and Lunch Bunches. The Recreation Department hosted three
holiday meals (April, November & December) following 55+ Bingo. The meals consisted of 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 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 2016.
Another group that went above and beyond this year for our community was Grace Community Church
(GCC). Members of GCC again took on the daily duties of dinners at Fernald Park during the Summer
Feeding Program, which provided free breakfast, lunch and dinner to children 0- 18 years old June 29thAugust 14th. 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.

�2015 saw a lot of highlights for the department after a long winter with record snowfall. The
Town of Farmington made national news with the Police Department’s “Good Citizen
Campaign.” Agencies across the world copied our idea with good results. The department
noticed two benefits, the first being we made people smile when they got a gift card. The
second was the officer’s enjoyed looking for people to reward for following the laws.
We have continued to promote many forums on recovery from addiction. Education of families
and assisting people that are suffering from drug addiction was paramount. This included two at
the Valley View School one of which was a pancake breakfast. We were able to train many
people in administering NARCAN and passed out more than 50 NARCAN kits. We continue to
work with people suffering from addiction, and have made many arrests of the people poisoning
our citizens by selling heroin and other drugs. Several officers on the department are trained in
administering NARCAN. All officers and staff are trained in first aid and CPR. We have
attended many programs outside of Town to bring awareness to the many problems that affect
our citizens and to provide assistance in these matters (Networking with Governors Forums, NH
Chiefs of Police Association, and PRIMEX to name a few.) In October we assisted in
sponsoring a spay/neuter clinic at the station. We were able to assist about 25 families get
reduced care for their animals.
This year we worked with local businesses to promote community policing Subway, HOPE,
Irving fuels, and Crowley’s Variety and Grill to name only a few. Fundraising with Honey Dew
Donuts we raised over $2,000.00 for needy families at the Holidays this year and Coffee with a
Cop.
Officer Langley became the School Resource Officer and enjoys working with the staff and
students of the schools. Officer Frye joined the agency this year, and graduated the Police
�Academy in 2015. Officer Lam and Rugerrio joined the department at the end of the year and
are currently at the Police Academy.
The Town received a 2016 AWD Ford Interceptor that is working out very well at no cost to the
taxpayers. We will not be looking for any cruisers this year and will begin in 2017 to replace two
older cars a 2007 and a 2008 Fords unless another car needs replacement sooner. These two
cars will also be at no cost to the taxpayer. We still continue to apply for and receive grants to
offset costs. Examples are our Body Cameras, DWI, and Speed Enforcement grants. We will
continue to look for grants to offset even larger costs.
The agency has worked very diligently with the Board of Selectmen, Fire Department, and our
Townspeople to develop a realistic public safety building that will fit our needs well into the
future at an affordable cost. We all toured many area facilities to learn what has worked for
other departments. As you know the Police and Fire Departments are currently land locked for
space, parking, and costs to upgrade each building. The Police Department has a difficult time
using its own facilities for departmental meetings. We have run out of room for filing. There are
no showers for the officers, no exercise areas, and no training room. Cruisers must be
maintained outside. Female staff has her locker in the ladies rest room. The Sergeants must
share a crowded office space with the Lieutenant. Arrestees must use the same rest rooms as
staff and the public. Prisoners must be removed from cars outside, and in full view of any of our
neighbors.
The current police building was supposed to be a temporary relief over 25 years ago. For a
building not designed to be a Police Station it has served us well. It was originally designed to
be a recreation area for the children of Farmington. The amount of traffic, calls for service,
record keeping, and arrests this building now endures is amazing as compared to years ago.
2900 to 3200 calls for service in the 1990’s as compared to 2013- 9,921 calls for service, 201410,365 calls for service, 2015- 12,374 calls for service, with 510 arrests in 2015 alone. The
public demands are now 3-4 times what they were 20 years ago. The new building should fulfill
the needs of the Town well into the future. This new construction is strong, and able to be
added onto when needed. There is enough land to provide expansion and training needs for
both departments. Public access will be easy and the possibility of public recreational activity
development on this land is good. The large meeting room can accommodate other uses as
well as hosting regional training saving/making the Town money.
Statistically this year: Reported offenses were up nearly 30%. Crimes against Persons were up
12%. Crimes against Property were down 13% Burglaries were up only 4%. Motor Vehicle
larceny was down 29%. Motor Vehicle Stops were up nearly 40%. Arrests were up over 35%.
Traffic Accidents fell by about 15%. The officers had a very busy year with 12,374 calls for
service, but were still able to accomplish many goals, such as increasing traffic enforcement
and community policing all while being shorthanded for part of the year.
It is an honor and 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.
Sincerely,
John (Jay) P. Drury
Chief of Police

In 2015 the Department of Public Works (DPW) reconstructed 1.75 miles of Ridge Road. The NHDOT paved Main St.
and Central St. under their summer maintenance agreement. The Town paid the paving contractor to extend the edge of
pavement to the curb line in the downtown area. We discovered that many of the drainage basins were deteriorated and had to
be rebuilt. The DPW crack sealed the new pavement on Chestnut Hill Rd. and Hornetown Rd. as part of our pavement
maintenance plan. We shimmed and sand sealed upper MeaderboroRd. The DPW worked with NHDES to restore the heavily
eroded bank of the Mad River behind the Catholic Church. This restoration project was done using grant funds and there was
no direct cost to the Town. We continue to work on gravel roads that we have identified to be lacking adequate gravel and with
poor drainage. In 2016 and in years to follow, roadway rehabilitation and sidewalk improvements throughout the Town must
continue to be one of the primary focuses for the DPW.
Our goal is to repave approximately 2.0 miles of roadways per year. However, the amount of roadways that are improved
on an annual basis will be a function of the budget that is approved by Town of Farmington residents. The current cost to
reconstruct a mile of road is aprox. $185,000 which includes grinding existing asphalt in place, reshaping road profile,
compaction, and repaving. Ultimately, the DPW’s mission will be to continue to improve the condition of the Town’s roads
and sidewalks for public safety and infrastructure longevity, and to develop long and short-term maintenance objectives. The
Director of Public Works will work closely with the Town Administrator and Board of Selectmen to develop a roadway and
sidewalk rehabilitation and maintenance plan for the betterment of the Town in the years to come.
The DPW will also continue its focus on maintaining and repairing existing drainage ditches and storm-water swales,
catch basins, culverts, in conjunction with gravel road and paved road improvements. In addition, pavement striping, painting
of crosswalks for pedestrian’s safety, the application of calcium chloride for dust control measures, and tree maintenance are
also performed throughout the year.
The DPW continued to maintain roadways and sidewalks during the winter months by plowing, sanding and salting of the
roadways, and patching potholes as they were discovered. Damage to Town equipment and to personal property continues to
be of concern during the winter months. All boulders, stone posts (unless property boundary marker), stone and concrete walls,
fencing and lawn ornaments must be outside of the limits of the Towns’ right-of-way for maintenance purposes. Mailboxes
should be set to a standard height and a standard distance off the roadway as specified by the local U.S. Postal Service.
The Department of Public Works maintains all Town-owned vehicles including Police, Fire, Water & Wastewater, Transfer
Station, Recreation, and its own fleet vehicles. The department is developing a systematic approach for performing routine and
preventative maintenance of the Town’s fleet vehicles with the intent of prolonging the life of the vehicles and equipment that
it operates. The DPW will continue working on refining the maintenance schedules, and performing preventative maintenance
repairs throughout 2016.

2015 Landfill/Transfer Station Report
Donna Trembley. and Howard Patch
In 2012 the Department of Public Works (DPW) worked closely with its’ consultant CMA Engineers Inc.,
the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES), and with Northeast Earth Mechanics to
complete the closure of the Town of Farmington’s landfill in October 2012. Additionally, the town submitted
an application for partial reimbursement of the landfill closure costs to the NHDES. The application for
reimbursement was approved in December 2013 and the Town is receiving these fuds on an annual basis.
In May 2012 the Town officially opened and began operating our new transfer station. A list of the
materials that the transfer station is permitted by the NHDES to accept is posted on the Town’s website, and is
also located at the transfer station and Municipal Building. With the opening of the transfer station the Town
discontinued sorting, bailing and marketing its recyclables to outside vendors and/or end-users, and began
receiving and processing its recyclables utilizing the “single-stream” method which allows all recyclables
(including all plastics) to be disposed of by the Town’s residents into one compactor. Acceptable recyclables
include plastic number 1 thru 7 narrow necked containers, tin, aluminum, glass containers, and paper materials
including newspaper, magazines, mixed paper, junk mail, and cardboard. We encourage all residents to recycle.
Recycling reduces your individual costs by reducing the number of Town trash decals you have to purchase and
also saves the Town budget $46/ton in tipping fees.
Thank you to all those who continue to use the Town’s transfer station and who actively participate in the
Town’s recycling efforts. In 2015 the Town sent 515.21 tons of municipal solid waste to the Turnkey landfill
for disposal along with 344.17 tons of bulky/demo wastes. Residents recycled 343.67 tons using single stream
recycling with a recycling rate of 40% by weight. The residents also recycled 16,350 pounds of electronics and
48.0 tons of scrap metal. We continue to encourage comments and/or suggestions that may assist us as we
continue to fine tune the operations of our new transfer station in 2016. Our mission is to continue to better
serve the residents of Farmington in a professional, courteous, timely, and efficient manner.

�Wastewater Department
2015 Report
The Town received an Administrative Order from the EPA in April 2008 requiring the Town to come into
compliance with new copper, total phosphorus, and total nitrogen requirements. The Town secured funding from
NHDES and Rural Development and approached this project in four phases.
Phase I was the construction of an effluent pump station and rapid infiltration basins. This allows the treated
effluent (191,000 gallons per day average) to be pumped to these basins where the effluent percolates down through
the ground and into the groundwater. This allows further treatment of the effluent and allows the water to still
recharge the Cocheco River. This phase was started up on July 8, 2010, and has been operating continuously and
with excellent results. Our goal is to not discharge directly to the river under any conditions. This phase came in
under budget so the funding agencies allowed the town to incorporate some of the work that was nearing design
completion in Phase 2 to be added to this phase. These additions include two new digester blowers with all new
aeration piping and electrical controls, new digester decant pump on slide rails, new headwork’s screen, and stairs
to allow us to get safely to the top of the digester.
Phase II was designed, bid and awarded to Apex Construction Inc. on October 25, 2010. This phase was for
the construction of the new wastewater treatment buildings, treatment tanks, and remodeling and updating the
existing building and tanks. We have met all of the milestones that were part of the Administrative Order. We have
been operating the new treatment system since May 2012. The system is providing excellent treatment and the
effluent meets or exceeds all NHDES groundwater standards.
Phase III is for the removal of infiltration and inflow (I & I) from the sewer collection system. I & I is clean
groundwater or surface water that flows to the plant and has to be processed as wastewater. Two separate contracts
were awarded. Contract #1 was for repairs to individual sewer laterals and Contract #2 was for repairs to main lines.
Both Contract #1 and Contract #2 are complete and included the replacement of the Bay Road sewer main, several
mainline spot repairs, manhole rehabilitations, and the installation of three manhole to manhole liners. There has
been a 36% reduction in flows from 2011. One hundred feet of new sewer line was laid on Union St. to replace the
existing 6 inch clay pipe in 2014.
Phase IV contract was awarded to Apex Construction Inc. and they have completed Phase IV in June 2015.
This phase included modifications to the effluent equalization tank, a new storage building, a new path out to one of
the monitoring wells, a new truck and a new grit washer. This phase uses Rural Development grant funds.
If anyone wants to come by and see what has been done and how it operates, please call us at 755-4883 and we
will be glad to show you around.

�Water Department
2015 Report
Dale Sprague, Chuck Tiffany, Steve Deinstadt (missing from picture Paul Cameron)
The Water Department currently operates three gravel packed wells and combined they pumped 98,844,000 gallons,
or 270,800 gallons per day in 2015.
We mailed the Annual Water Quality Report to all customers. This report describes the quality of drinking water
they receive as well as some mandatory health effects language required by the EPA related to drinking water issues. We
hope everyone had an opportunity to look at this report. If you need a copy or if you have any questions concerning your
drinking water, or would like to tour the facilities, please call the Water Department at 755-4883.
We have been replacing or repairing at least one worn main gate valve along with replacing one old fire hydrant per
year in order to improve operations and reliability of the distribution system. We conducted our annual leak detection
survey with assistance from Granite State Rural Water Association personnel. We found several minor leaks which were
repaired. There are several areas where we will be adding new or replacing deficient water mains over the next few years
to improve overall water quality and localized fire flows.
We have contracted with a company that specializes in locating groundwater sources. Our goal is to locate future
groundwater source(s) and determine the best way to protect them from development and contamination. These will be
the future water sources for the town. Phases 1 and 2 have been completed. The company has located several potential
bedrock and overburden water sources. The Board of Selectmen selected which of these potential areas we will
investigate further. We mailed out letters asking landowners who own property within the selected areas for permission to
work on their property. The company performed extensive geophysical testing on these areas to help determine which
site(s) may be future water supplies. Based on this data and overall construction costs the Board of Selectmen will
determine which of these potential sites to test drill in 2016.

�2015 Welfare Department Report
The Welfare Department has seen large decreases in both electric assistance and oil assistance. This
decrease is largely due to increases in funds through Community Actions and their Fuel Assistance
program, as well as lower oil costs. Eversource has now officially taken the place of PSNH and has been
great to work with on lowering payment agreements and costs for the Town. This past year we have also
seen decreases in Motel costs and shelter costs due to the new Coordinated Access Program for
Homelessness. There have been slight increases in Rents and Burials/Cremations this year.
As of the end of 2015 SHARE Fund has opened a pilot program in Farmington allowing for our
community members to take advantage of their resources. I have worked with numerous families in
applying for and receiving help with back rent, electrical payments and much more. With the SHARE
Fund opening up to Farmington residents, people are also now allowed to use Gerry’s Food Pantry and
shop at the Community Clothing Store in Rochester. We are hoping for continued collaboration with
SHARE Fund in the future.

�2015 Conservation Commission Report
Laura Bogardus, David Connolly, Randy Orvis, Resta Detwiler, Jacquelin Bissell
(Missing from picture: Richard Ballou, Rose Muise and Jerry McCarthy(deceased)
2015 proved to be a busy year for the Conservation Commission. With continued
work on establishing a trail system for the French Conservation property on Hornetown
Rd, there are now maps available at the kiosk to guide visitors around the property. As
we move along with the trail project, these maps will be updated as needed. Scheduled
cutting and mowing was done at the woodcock habitat area to keep it suitable for them as
well as other wildlife for breeding and protection.
Up on Bay Road at our Town Forest, a management plan was developed and
implementation of that plan has begun. Selected timber harvesting, along with
establishing a new parking area in the Waldron’s Wood area will lead the way for future
marked hiking trails on that side of the Mill Pond.
At our 3rd Annual Spring Clean-Up which was held on April 25 to observe Earth
Day; over 560 pounds of roadside litter and trash were collected by 14 volunteers. A
HUGE thank you to those volunteers and also to the local business’s that donated
refreshments and support. With the leadership of member Detwiler, we are hoping for a
bigger volunteer turnout in 2016. The more volunteers; the more roads we can pick up
and the more cleaner Farmington will become.
In observance of Arbor Day 2015, the Commission donated 2 trees to the Child Care
Center. We would like to thank Cameron’s Home Center working again with us and for
doing the plantings.
In our continued mission to work with our schools, the Commission is expanding our
outreach by kicking off an Anti-littering Campaign. Our goal is to engage our students in
activities to educate and help spread the word of recycling and anti-littering.
�Speaking of schools, the Commission was proud to send another Henry Wilson
student to the Barry 4-H Conservation Camp this past summer. This one week camp
provides many opportunities for the camper to experience various aspects of the outdoors
and to meet some really cool friends!! The Commission works with the staff of Henry
Wilson to identify a student who is interested in conservation but due to financial
restraints, would not be able to attend such a camp. The follow up report we receive from
the camper has been priceless and our goal is to continue to offer this unique experience.
Out on River Road, a long lost 3 acre parcel along the Mad River; known to us as the
Ronci property: has now been officially turned over to the Conservation Commission.
Our plan is to establish a handicap accessible fishing area. Please follow us through out
the year to find out about updates. Also if there are folks who would like to offer their
time and/or skills to accomplish this goal, please contact either the Chair or Vice Chair of
the Commission.
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.
Respectfully Submitted,
David Connolly Chairman

�Community Action Partnership of Strafford County is a 501(c)(3) private nonprofit organization. We work with
community, state and federal partners to assist thousands of individuals and families each year, and the majority
of program participants have extremely low incomes (below 75 percent of the federal poverty threshold). Our
mission is to educate, advocate and assist people in Strafford County to help meet their basic needs and promote
self-sufficiency.
2015 Highlights:
Our agency provided more than $2.2 million in federal fuel assistance to 3,191 households in Strafford
County during the 2014-2015 heating season. A total of 381households in Farmington received
$264,414 in fuel assistance. A total of 329 households received a discount on their electric bill through
agency’s Electrical Assistance Program at a value of $151,340. The average benefit was $460.
A total of 56 children received Head Start and Early Head Start services valued at $477,728, while 39
children received childcare valued at $288,600.
We provided Farmington residents age 60 and over with 263 safe, accessible rides through our senior
transportation program.
In all, more than $1,324,373 worth of goods and services were provided to Farmington residents.
Without the services provided by our agency, many local residents would be without a means to provide for
their basic needs, including food, education, child care, utilities assistance, job training and employment
services, transportation, emergency shelter, homeless prevention and housing services and referrals. CAP
maintains its outreach capacity by operating offices in Farmington and Dover and Head Start Centers in Dover,
Farmington, Milton, Rochester and Somersworth.
Community Action Partnership of Strafford County has 130 employees and an $8.9 million operating budget.
We receive federal, state and local funding as well as United Way grants, foundation and charitable grants, fees
for service, private business and individual donations. In May of 2015, we commemorated our 50th anniversary,
and while we honor the past we are working toward the future with a focus on improved customer service and
using a holistic approach to providing services to meet families’ complex needs. With that basic tenant in mind,
we strive to make sure our efforts are most effective in helping families today.
2016 Goals:
Single-point of Entry: Our staff will provide an initial assessment and then work with clients to
determine which services are needed in order to better respond to individual and family needs by using a
holistic approach to service delivery. We will provide bundled services to meet the targets identified
clients have set by providing support and access to a comprehensive range of services, which may
include referrals and case management.
Customer Service: We want to provide improved coordinated service through updated program
software, staff development and a focus on making sure CAP is the first place people come to for help.
Early Childhood Education: Through our Early Head Start/Child Care Partnership grant, we have
partnered with local child care providers to offer Early Head Start slots in existing child care programs.
Through this grant, our staff will provide enhancements to classrooms and improve relationships with
local providers by providing professional development, additional training and increased pay.
Betsey Andrews Parker
Chief Executive Officer
�Farmington Residents:
As the economy has continued to ebb and flow, COAST continues to see a strong
demand for our services. During our FY2015 (Oct. 1, 2014 – Sept. 30, 2015) COAST
once again provided nearly 500,000 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 FY2015, the COAST Rte. 6 bus service, connecting Farmington and Rochester,
carried 20,162 passengers. This represented a new annual record for the total number
of riders carried and was 11.4% over the previous record year (FY2012).
COAST is continues to see some of the strongest growth on our system in our federally
mandated van services for individuals with disabilities (+6.7% in FY15). 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 very strong 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
FY15 COAST provided 319
rides to residents in
Farmington who qualified for
this service.
Our newest service, made
available to Farmington
residents in 2012, the North Bus provides safe, reliable curb-to-curb transportation to
grocery, pharmacy, and shopping destinations in Rochester. The North Bus has been in
service since April 2011 but expanded in May 2012 to begin serving Farmington
residents and going to additional destinations in Rochester. Residents are picked up at
their homes by a wheelchair accessible minibus and brought to predetermined stores
and social service centers. The North Bus serves Farmington on Tuesdays and
Thursdays.
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 as a whole, 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.
42 Sumner Drive Dover, NH 03820 (603) 743-5777 www.coastbus.org
�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 or $0.50), 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 53% to less than 10%.
The fare to ride public transit is low so as to be affordable for anyone to take advantage
of and utilize on a frequent basis. There is a public benefit to this. Without communitybased 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.
A reminder, your community has two primary funding mechanisms available for
consideration outside of your general fund which can create more sustainable funding
streams for public transit and COAST. These include establishing a municipal
transportation improvement fund using a $5.00 (maximum) local vehicle registration fee
(as allowed under HB 648). Additionally, please consider allowing advertising on COAST
bus shelters in your community. COAST bus stop shelters are a highly visible and
desirable advertising space for business. A bus shelter advertising revenue sharing
opportunity is available for communities that fully meet COAST’s annual financial
requests.
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.

�GROWING CHALLENGES
We recently celebrated 100 years of care. The standards and regulations needed, and
continuing education required, are extensive in order to provide extraordinary care.
Cornerstone VNA and those who count on it face relentless challenges. Today with the
advancement of healthcare we are witnessing several major trends:
The rapid emergence of new technologies
The demand for advanced medical care in home health
Baby Boomers begin to inundate the healthcare system, requiring extra care
Decreasing Medicare reimbursements and rising costs of healthcare
Renewed focus on preventative health care concepts
Changes in healthcare aimed at wellness programs and education (to reduce the
impact of lifestyle disease)
Patient-centered, comprehensive approach to care (coordinates all facets of a
patient’s care & medical history)
OUR VISION
Today, the role of the VNA is more important than ever as patients spend less time in
the hospital and return home with more complex issues than ever before! To meet
the demands of the 21st century, Cornerstone VNA’s highly trained clinicians are
anticipating and responding to the current trends in health care including the need for
new programs and services in preventative care, palliative care and technology in the
home setting.
In closing, we are grateful for the privilege of providing trusted, compassionate and
expert care to every member of the community regardless of their ability to pay for
services. Thank you for supporting members of your community and our dedicated
team of home health care providers.
Respectfully,
Julie Reynolds

Only GOOD news from the GOODwin Library!
The Goodwin Library had another great year of excellent programming, high usage, valuable community
partnerships, and facility improvements. In 2015 Library staff has continued to provide high-quality
library services for the people of Farmington and the Library Trustees, Director, and staff is very proud of
these achievements, and take pleasure in sharing our good news with residents.
The library maintained excellent numbers in all major statistical categories for the year 2015. This is due to
the dedication and resourcefulness of the Staff, Trustees, and Friends. The STATISTICS below reflect the
patron usage and demand of Goodwin Library for the past year.
Cards Created (includes renewals)- 500
Circulation- 44,485
Reference Questions- 3,813
Computer Use (sessions)- 5,093
Number of Programs- 182
Program Attendance- 4,694
In addition to maintaining patron services, the library also worked hard on numerous projects at the
library. The HIGHLIGHTS were:
New Director: Laura England joined the team at the Goodwin Library in October 2015 and has
implemented changes in procedure in an effort to further streamline and improve quality of services.
Grants: 2015 was a great year for grants for the Goodwin Library! Joyce White, our Children’s
Librarian authored the “Kids, Books and the Arts” grant which funded a performance for the Summer
Reading Program and she also participated in a partnership with the Farmington School District for
the “Year of the Book” grant which provided programming and books for the Valley View School and
some new children’s books for the Goodwin Library. The Director and Trustees would like to
commend Joyce and thank her for her excellent efforts on behalf of the Library.
Collaboration: The Library successfully partnered with the Community Action Program to host
several family events including two family craft nights in the Community Room.
Facility: The Library replaced the old fire escape during 2015 and also repaired and improved the
egress at the foot of the escape.
Community Room: The Community Room on the third floor of the Library was used for several
programs including a Family Craft Night and Movie Afternoon, and will continue to provide a
community space and educational hub for Farmington’s residents.
The library PROGRAMS that occurred last year and continue to be a success at the Goodwin Library include
the following:
Community Cinema: The library brings patrons together with movies and popcorn each month. The
library featured films in 2015 such as Big Hero 6, Into the Woods, and Inside Out. Patrons of all ages
attend these programs each month; producing laughter, camaraderie, and family time.
Game afternoons for teens: Teens are coming to the Library after school! We have had a growing
number of teens coming to the Library to enjoy Magic the Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons. This
is a great alternative after-school activity. We look forward to providing many more teen programs in
the year to come!
Homesteading Roundtable: This group meets monthly to teach a skill or craft that patrons can take
home. It brings in a solid number of patrons, and has little or no cost associated with the program
�due to the local donations made by businesses and time contribution by presenters. Topics this year
have included maple tapping, making Mason jar candles, pumpkin decorating, and a homemade ice
cream demonstration.
One-on-One Computer Classes: Due to the diversity of technology needs in the community, the
library provides one-on-one computer classes to patrons. The subject of these classes has ranged
from using a mouse to creating an email account. Patrons find it to be a friendly environment to
advance their computer skills. During the past year, the demand for these classes has risen and we
have seen an increase in patrons taking advantage of this service.
Polar Express Event: Goodwin Library celebrates the Polar Express and the magic of Christmastime
with Farmington families by offering stories, caroling, and hot cocoa and baked goods. This year’s
event was as successful as past years’ with over 70 people in attendance! This is our most popular
and well-attended family event.
Storytime Sessions: Librarians feature read-aloud stories, graduated levels of craft-making,
appropriately- aged activities, songs, and other creative ways of experiencing reading and learning
for children, from toddlers up through fifth graders. The Goodwin Library is fortunate to have a
trained and experienced Children’s Room staff that provides high-quality programming on a
shoestring budget. At the end of 2015, the Library saw an increase in attendance and has added an
additional storytime in order to accommodate a growing number of families.
Summer Reading Program: Each year, the library hosts a summer program for youth and families
to encourage reading year-round. The staff makes reading in the summer fun with performers,
activities, and crafts that tie into a national reading program theme. Performers and activities in 2015
were primarily funded through Grants. In addition, local businesses provided prizes for the youth,
which were greatly appreciated!
Poet and Writers Group: The library hosted a Quarterly Poets and Writers well as various adult
book discussion groups throughout the year.
The library is able to move forward and provide excellent services and resources due to the supportive
community of Farmington. In the last year, the library has maintained and developed relationships with
numerous businesses, non-profits, town departments, and performers including: Dover Adult Learning,
New Hampshire State Library, Farmington Parks and Rec, Farmington Police and Fire, Farmington School
District, Rochester Area Librarians, Farmington Historical Society, Vita Tax Prep, Goodwin Community
Health, CAP, Food Pantry, and many more!
2015 was a very active year for the Friends of the Goodwin Library. The Friends’ are the sole source for
fundraising for the Library, and they sponsor museum passes, databases, and other valuable services with
funds raised. In 2015, the group was able to raise over $800.00 at the Friends’ Yard Sale, and also
sponsored several Raffle Baskets which were a big hit! The Goodwin Library would like to extend great
appreciation for the Friends’ Group and look forward to more successful fundraisers in the upcoming year.
Back Row: Joyce White, Patience Taylor, Tami LaRock; Front Row: Kayla Morin, Laura England, and Amy
Cornwell; (Not Pictured: Randi Gallagher, Sarah Jaycox, and Pam Grout).
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 maintain custody of the library, it is primarily
supported financially by the Town of Farmington. Therefore, the Goodwin Library makes an effort to
provide the highest quality of services and resources to the community, while cautiously spending and
using the funds available in a responsible manner. The library has demonstrated increased usage, and the
�organization continues to operate with a very frugal budget despite the growing demand for services. The
library is able to do this because of staff teamwork, volunteer hours, 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 community.
In conclusion, the Goodwin Library would like to again extend an invitation to all people who live, work,
own property, and attend school in Farmington to visit us and sign-up for a free library card, which entitles
cardholders to many services including free access to computers and the internet, borrowing privileges for
up to 30 items including movies, audio books, print books, and e-books, exciting and educational programs
and much more! The staff looks forward to welcoming all new and returning patrons into the library
family!

Jackie Capello made a motion to approve Article 20, seconded by Sam Cateldo.
Discussion ensued about the need for water/sewer infrastructure out on Route 11 and the
accommodation at the new sewer plant. Kevin Hogan commented that, on one hand we
are being told that it is not going to affect the tax rate, then someone says it is which is
confusing. Arthur Capello stated that it will indirectly affect it because of the increase
�going to the fund, not to the fund balance. Neil Johnson also pointed out that it would if
there were to be another decrease in property values. Stephen Henry asked if we had
seen any businesses who were interested turned away because you we do not have sewer
out on Rte 11. The response is that they don’t know directly if anyone has gone away
because of it. Much discussion ensued concerning what happens if we do or do not do
this. Jodi Connolly made a motion to call the question, seconded and approved by a
show of cards vote. Article 20 was approved by a show of cards vote.

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 VicePresident under Ulysses S. Grant.
Villages and Place Names: unknown
Population, Year of the First Census Taken: 1,029 residents in 1800
Population Trends: Population change for Farmington totaled 3,510 over 53 years, from
3,287 in 1960 to 6,797 in 2013. The
largest decennial percent change
was a 29 percent increase between
1970 and 1980, followed by a 23 percent increase over the next decade. The 2013
