ONGOING AGENDA ITEMS: As we deal with the impact of a weakening economy and limits on our ability to raise additional tax revenue,the challenge will be to maintain service levels and preserve our physical plant:buildings,equipment,roads,utilities,etc.This may prove impossible,and we may have to adjust to lower service levels or defer capital improvements,or both.Environ- mental concerns such as protecting wetlands,shoreline,marine resources,and water supply will require continued attention. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: The Selectmen are grateful to our Town department heads and employees who have endeavored to deliver high quality services despite budget reductions,and also to our many volunteers who staff our boards,committees and commissions. Thanks are again due to Norfolk County Sheriff Clifford Marshall for the help provided by the Braintree Alternative Center in renovating the Town Hall and repairing voting booths.In addition.County Engineer Alvah Downs and Assistant Civil Engineer Wayne Simpson have again this year provided invaluable engineering services in several areas,for which we are most grateful. Your Selectmen look forward to meeting the challenges of the 1990's,and we sincerely hope that citizens will continue the active interest and volunteer services,not only in Town Government,but in the many private orgainzations which add strength to the whole and which make this community unique.

Board of Registrars Robert S.Pape,Chairman Frances L.Marks,Clerk Alice G.Daunt George L.Marlette,III 129 Town Archivist Construction of new State-approved vaults for storage of the town's permanent Public Records in the Town Hall Addition has provided Cohasset,for the first time in several decades,with adequate and correctly designed storage facilities for its town records.Prior to completion of the new chmate-controUed vault facility,many of Cohasset's permanent records had been stored in locations not conforming to rigorous standards required by the Commonwealth's Public Records Laws,a situation that continued until opening of the new Town Hall facility.During 1989 the Town Archivist transferred all permanent Town Records from a temporary storage vault located in the High School to the new permanent vaults. Additionally,important public records stored in non -accredited locations within the old Town Hall building were consolidated in the new vaults.Both modem and historical Town Public Records have been organized and shelved in the new faciUty in a manner consistent with good archival practice.Cohasset's historical Public Records,some dating to the mid and latter 17th century,have been additionally protected by placing them in steel storage cabinets within the new vaults.Environmental controls in the vault facility permit temperature and humidity levels to meet standards set by Slate regulations and required under the Public Records Laws.The work of identifying and organizing the town's Public Records continues. Additionally,organized storage space for many of the town's non-permanent office records is being developed in the Town Hall Addition,and storage of archival maps and plans is under reorganization. The cooperation of the Board of Selectmen,Town Clerk,and the several offices located in the Town Hall has been instiumental in the ongoing project to properly organize and store Cohasset's Permanent Public Records.Future safety and security of the town records will require continued implementation of high standards of vault supervision as developed during the course of the present reorganization project. Respectfully submitted, David H.Wadsworth,Town Archivist Base Map Committee This committee is charged with investigating the value and cost of a modem Geo- graphic Information System which would integrate and store all existing town map informa- tion in a computer system and which would accept additional types of geographic and civil information.Such a system would generate maps or lists containing selections of the information as needed,at scale and orientation as needed. Committee members were designated by departments using the town maps.These members explored the possible value of such a system in helping the town to avoid legal problems,to prevent zoning and other mistakes,to avoid misunderstanding between departments,and to implement needed programs with more efficiency and effectiveness. System information was obtained from engineering firms and other sources.Firms made presentations,and the committee went to see several systems in operation.Proposals were received and phased budgets were prepared showing estimates for different types of systems and with alternate qualities and capacities. A description of the alternates was presented to town meeting,and a request was made for funds to proceed with a pilot program.The request was put aside for further consideration. 130 Committee Members: For the Conservation Commission Merle H.Brown For the Planning Board Daniel C.Cotton For the Board of Health Sharon L.Becker For the Board of Selectmen Burtram J.Pratt For the Board of Assessors Thomas S.Duggan Member At Large Barbara B.Power Member At Large Douglas R.Peck Cable Television Council The community Cable Television Council is appointed by the Selectmen and meets periodically to assure that Continental Cablevision complies with the requirements of its contract with the Town of Cohasset.We also encourage community members to make full use of "public access"to cable television in Cohasset.Please let us know if you have any complaints or suggestions regarding cable TV in Cohasset.Leave your message at Town Hall.Also,we encourage your attendance at our meetings. The Council was relatively inactive during the winter and spring;this fall we have reorganized and refocused.Several new members have been added,and Burt Pratt,our liaison with the Board of Selectmen,has attended most of our meetings. Rate increases continue,and with them our concern that re-regulation of the cable industry may be the best course for consumer protection in the future.We are studying the Federal Cable Act,and may recommend to the Selectmen what actions they might take to help in the national campaign to restore local municipal controls over cable rates. Cohasset has a new Continental Cablevision Community Program Director,Deb Duggan,who took over this fall for Bob BeUiveau,who moved to a full-time position as Scituate's Program Director.Deb's job will be three-fourths time —continuing Continental's self-initiated increase in Program Director staffing for Cohasset,originally contracted for half-time.The merge of the Cohasset studio into a larger shared facihty in N. Scituate,accomplished last year,appears to have been beneficial for community program- ming in both towns. Besides the continuation of Wigmore Pierson's popular "Cohasset Talks"this year's regular programs have included the Cohasset Selectmen's meetings,an aerobics class, "California Fitness Connection"and a new weekly show from the Cohasset Schools,"Video Time".The ongoing Channel 3 bulletin board serves many of the Town's organizations. Cohasset community television increasingly meets some of our Town's communications needs.

An extensive revision of the Harbor Bylaw was submitted to the Annual Town Meeting for approval.Due to disputes on two sections,it was voted to postpone further consideration at that meeting.A new revision will be submitted to the 1990 Annual Town Meeting. With our urging and approval,the Harbor Master acquired and installed a series of buoys along Bassings Beach which designated the area for swimming and thus prohibits the large flotilla of boats from anchoring in the channel.With enforcement by the Harbor Master, the hazards of boats anchoring in the channel has been essentially eliminated. A new set of Harbor Regulations were developed and submitted to the Board of Selectmen.These were approved by the Board on July 11,1989,and put into effect immediately by the Harbor Department. In preparation for the new Harbor Department budget,we were asked by the Executive Secretary to investigate and recommend means by which the Harbor Deparunent could be made self-supporting so that the mooring fees collected would offset the total Harbor Department expenses.Since this would require a very large increase in the mooring fee to at least $7 per foot of boat length,which we considered to be excessive,we recommended instead that the Town implement a users'fee to be imposed on all boats habitually moored at private docks and marinas in the harbor which do not pay any fee for the services provided by the Harbor Department to all boats kept in the harbor.A compromise was ultimately reached with the Board of Selectmen whereby the Mooring fee would be raised from $4/ft. to $5/ft.and a user fee be imposed on all other registered or documented boats kept at marinas and private docks in the harbor.The new Harbor Bylaw to be submitted to the 1990 Annual Town Meeting will contain provisions for the Town to levy the new user fee. Our Harbor Master,Irving Gadow,has been on board a year now and I have received many praises about him,his dedication and hard work.We are extremely fortunate,I believe, to have Irv with us. Respectfully submitted, Fritz Pfaffmann,Chairman Irving Gadow,Harbor Master Mary Muncey,Vice Chairman Peter Wood,Secretary Domenic Barccari Lorren Gibbons Jack Silvia,Jr. 132 Harbormaster Having served as Harbormaster for one year,I would like to thank the people of Cohasset for their help and support.Special thanks to Cliff Dixon and Dave Marks.Their knowledge of the Harbor made a challenging boating season much easier.Thanks to Robert Baggs,whose expertise in consU*uction enabled me to repair an aluminum ramp at Lawrence Wharf and also to repair and improve the Harbormaster's Office. Some accomphshmenls during the past year were: —The issuing of five new moorings.—The estabUshment of a swim area along the main channel of Bassings Beach and a speed buoy.—Repair to the ramp by the Salt House.—Insulating and installing new siding and roof to Harbormaster's Office.—Hold Blessing of the Fleet in conjunction with the rededication of Minot's Light.—Assisting of 54 disabled boaters. Plans for the coming year include repairs and improvements to the floats at Govern- ment Island,the Salt House,and Margin Street.I will continue to look for ways to provide more mooring space in order to reduce the waiting list. Irving Gadow,Harbormaster By-Law Committee The By-Law Committee has met as required,checking the By-Laws for accuracy and format,reviewing proposed changes in the By-Laws,and making recommendations con- cerning such changes. Respectfully submitted, ComeUa O'Malley,Chairman Mary E.Gainor,Secretary W.Roger Nast Richard A.Henderson,Town Counsel Frances L.Marks,Town Clerk 133 Committee to Survey The Structure and Function of Town Government The purpose of this committee is to survey the structure and functions of Cohasset town government,its officers,departments and boards,and from time to time report its findings and recommendations,if any,to Town Meeting.The Committee held meetings on a regular basis this past year.We have also met,individually and collectively,with members of various committees,town officials,and interested citizens. At 1989 Town Meeting the Committee recommended against changing the member- ship of the Board of Selectmen back to three. 1989 brought the Committee the State Department of Revenue revenue and expendi- ture forecast for the Town which we had been seeking for several years.If its projections hold, Proposition 2 1/2 override efforts will become an annual certainty.The Committee is now monitoring the DOR Division of Local Services*annual municipal data bank to see how Cohasset compares with other communities. The Committee undertook exploratory discussions with surrounding towns into areas of possible regionalization.Nothing concrete has emerged,but discussions are ongoing. During 1989 Dennis Roth joined the Committee and Roy Fitzsimmons succeeded Jean Cotton as Chairman. Respectfully submitted, F.Roy Fitzsimmons,Chairman Wilson H.Pile,Secretary Jean B.Cotton Patricia Facey Dennis L.Roth James L.Whelan Sealer of Weights and Measures i There were 155 units tested and sealed.There were $707.00 in sealing fees collected and submitted to the Town Treasurer.

This was a most difficult year,for even though our revaluation was completed on schedule,the problems of Slate Legislature in finalizing a State Budget resulted in late disbursement of State Aid through the so called "Cherry Sheets".This resulted in a delayed 164 Town Meeting to finalize our Town Budget,which in turn caused a delay in the mailing of Real Estate Tax Bills. The year 1989 also saw the installation of a new computer system for the Assessors office.The Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA)program installed will become more and more invaluable as the years go by in assisting the Assessors to maintain fair and equitable assessments of all property in the Town of Cohasset.The conversion of our 3300 parcels to this new system was no easy task,but thanks to the cooperation and dedication of our office staff,it has become a welcome resource of data. 1989 saw a decline of 35%in our Tax Rate,to $9.60 from the previous year's $14.63. Unfortunately,during the same period oiu*new growth was at $8,397,245.00,resulting in $122,851.71 of new revenue available to the Town.That was a decrease of almost $100,000.00 from the previous year,and as we stated in last year's report,the Board of Assessors feel this decline of new revenue will continue for some time to come. In 1990 and in the years to come,the Board of Assessors look forward to further use ofthe computer in eliminating the manual processing ofcommitments for Boat Excise Taxes, Motor Vehicles,and the multitude of forms required by the Department of Revenue. The Board of Assessors James W.Lagrotteria Michael C.Patrolia Thomas S.Duggan LAND USE CONTROL BUILDING INSPECTOR AND ZONING OFFICER The following is a report of the Building Department for the year 1989: Building Permits Issued 334 Building Permit Fees Paid to Treasurer $47,900.00 Estimated Cost of Construction for Permits $6,884,661.00 Building Inspected for Group Occupancy 17 Group Occupancy Fees Paid to Treasurer $945.00 Occupancy Permits 36 Fees for Occupancy Permits $900.00 Plumbing Permits Issued 178 Plumbing Inspector Paid for Services $4,277.00 Plumbing Fees Paid to Treasurer $6,463.00 Gas Permits Issued 119 Gas Inspector Paid for Services $1,573.00 Gas Fees Paid to Treasurer $2,048.00 Fees Collected for Use of Copy Machine $80.05 Zoning Maps &By law Fees Collected $675.00 TopoMaps $165.00 Robert M.Egan Building Inspector/Zoning Officer 165 Planning Board The Cohasset Planning Board,under the authority granted to it by M.G.L.Chapter40A, Chapter 4 1 ,and the Cohasset Zoning Bylaws,fulfilled the following responsibilities in 1989: *Reviewed four subdivisions not requiring approvals; *Reviewed for initial consideration or final approval four Site Plans for the Highway Business,Light Industry and Downtown Business Districts; *Reviewed for initial consideration or final approval three subdivisions; *Continued monitoring of approved Cluster Developments; *Continued monitoring of approved subdivisions; *Continued monitoring of approved Site Plans under construction; *Continued engineering assistance for the Zoning Board of Appeals in the study of Crystal Woods application for Comprehensive Permit; *Submitted am article at the Annual and Special Town Meeting as an incentive to developers to build affordable housing; *Proposed for inclusion in the Zoning Bylaws the following additions: *New definition for the restoration of non-conforming buildings; *New definition of maximum coverage; *New definition of floor area,net; *Change of area use for private boat docks and marinas.

Throughout the year,MAPC concentrated on refining MetroPlan 2000,the regional growth plan adopted in principle by representatives at the 1989 annual meeting in May.The regional development framework will aid communities in designating potential growth areas based on the availability of infrastructure,and in designating areas where growth should be discouraged. With a regional plan,growth can be directed so that affordable housing issues are addressed,open space and environmentally sensitive areas are protected,and transportation habits that contribute to traffic congestion and air pollution are changed. 166 At the same time,planned growth can encourage new job opportunities by providing incentives for growth in specific areas.In addition,with a shortage of funds to build new roads or maintain old ones,planned growth encourages the best use of limited resources. In fiscal year 1989,which runs from July 1,1988 through June 30,1989,Cohasset contributed $1,388 to MAPC for regional planning services. In addition to MetroPlan 2000 planning efforts,MAPC staff produced community population and employment forecasts,and updated the development file and vacant sites survey for each community. Some communities also took advantage of information programs,and met with MAPC planners to discuss the Federal Transportation Improvement Program,trip reduction tools, curb cut controls,and impact fees.In Cohasset:—MAPC recommended that South Shore Coalition communities consider regional approaches to providing adequate septage facilities there,in a recently-completed septage management study.The study estimated current and projected septage generation,invento- ried available septage treatment and disposal facilities,evaluated septage regulations,and gave alternative management options for collection,treatment,and disposal of septage.—In the past year the South Shore Coalition held seminars on the financial impacts of growth and on septage management,held an affordable housing conference,and created teaching video tapes.Their efforts also included studies on housing,solid waste manage- ment,septage management,and non-residential development and traffic generation. MAPC appreciates our continued support.In the coming year,we are encouraged to engage in MetroPlan 2000 planning activities,as well as to utilize the planning skills and knowledge available from MAPC staff. Martha K.Gjesteby, MAPC Representative Conservation Commission 1989 has been a busy and productive year for the Cohasset Conservation Commission. Almost twice as many "Notices of Intent"were processed than average,as well as many "Requests for Determination of Applicability"to determine if activities are within our jurisdiction.The Commission also reviewed many building permit applications and were requested to inspect other activities to insure that Cohasset's fragile wetlands resource areas are adequately protected. The highlight of 1989 was the passage of the Cohasset Wetlands Bylaw at our annual Town Meeting and the development of the Cohasset Wetlands Regulations which will allow the Commission to be more effective in performing our assigned duties. The Commission meets the first and third Tuesday of each month at 7:30 PM at Town Hall.Additionally,we have had many extra meetings in order to handle the heavy work load this past year,and have performed many site inspections of properties requiring our review. Commissioners and our secretary have also attended conservation workshops sponsored by such groups as the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. The Commission welcomes Thomas Callahan as our newest member and thanks the 167 citizens of Cohasset for their enthusiastic support of our activities. Patricia C.Buckley,Chairman Jeffrey C.Waal,Vice Chairman Merle S.Brown John Kent Bryant William H.Parmenter Veneta P.Roebuck Thomas J.Callahan Board of Health In 1989 Sharon Becker was re-elected for a three-year term.William E.Baird was elected Chairman during the reorganization of the Board.Dr.Joseph R.Godzik continued as Health Agent with Carol Oteri-Puffer as Administrative Assistant.The offices were moved to the Town Hall in March. The Transfer Station Building Committee essentially completed its work with the opening of the transfer station.The Board commends the Committee for getting the project completed within budget.Work continues on designing a final closure plan for the now non- operational landfill.A leachate collection system will be designed as part of the closure,as required by the Department of Environmental Protection. Water quality in swimming areas was much improved over 1988,even through some serious overflows occured at Nut Island Wastewater Treatment Facility .The issue of medical waste on beaches was almost non-existent.However,water quaUty for shell-fishing was not good enough to allow any reopening of closed areas. It was determined that hydrogen sulfide gas from the Cohasset Heights,Ltd.Landfill is contributing to obnoxious odors in the area of the landfill and in other areas of the Town, depending on weather conditions.Two plans for mitigating these odors have been submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection for approval. An issue regarding potential communicable disease risk from playing on Milliken Field and the practice field behind the High School surfaced in October.Complaints from parents about uniforms smelling like sewage and skin rashes on football players caused an investigation into the problem.Bacteriological testing of ponded water and the soil itself on the playing fields revealed contamination by fecal material of mammalian origin.The source of this contamination was not determined.The Board required the School Department to stop using the fields until the problem is eUminated.A group from the Epidemiology Division of the State Laboratory Institute of the Department of Public Health will be assisting the Town in its investigation. In June the Board,with the assistance of Representative Mary Jeanette Murray,secured legislative approval for a revolving account to deal with financing the disposal of the town*s septage.Due to problems with its treatment plant,Hull would not accept any of Cohasset' s septage.By July a contract between the town and Upper Blackstone Water Pollution Abatement District in Millbury for disposal of residential and commercial septage was negotiated by the Board.The revolving account eliminates the need to use the tax base for funding of the program and requires an upfront deposit from each hauler for pumped gallons to be disposed. 168 SUMMARY OF CALENDAR YEAR REVENUES COLLECTED 1988 1989 through 12-26 Municipal Landfill 20,149.50 38,210.00 Private Landfill 78,546.13 88,729.42 Recycling 810.56 292.30 Copies 124.80 147.35 Engineering -0-6,992.00 RTF Stickers -0-14,560.00 All Other 17,749.00 16,828.41 TOTALS 117,707.49 165,759.48 Budgetary cutbacks on the state level have added responsibilities to the department with no increase in manpower.Prioritizing issues due to the increased workload is necessary on a daily basis.We appreciate the patience and understanding shown by persons requiring the Board of Health's assistance or guidance. Respectfully submitted, William E.Baird,Chairman Michael H.Sullivan,Clerk Sharon L.Becker,Senior Member Transfer Station Building Committee The Transfer Station Building Committee was appointed by the Selectmen at their meeting of October 17,1988. On November 3,1988,a public bid opening was held at Town Hall to award the construction contract for the Town of Cohasset Solid Waste Transfer Station.Because of the high level of construction activity at that time,only three bids were received and the lowest acceptable bid was considerably higher than what had been estimated the previous April.This set the tone for what was to be an eleven month struggle to keep the Transfer Station within the $550,000 appropriation approved at the Spring 1988 Town Meeting. Ground breaking was held on April 11,1989,though construction did not begin in earnest until early May.Almost immediately a problem arose which proved to be the major crisis of the construction phase.Vastly more ledge was encountered during blasting than had been anticipated during the design phase of the project.The cost over-run was projected to be more than $60,000.Our committee met with the engineers and the general contractor ahnost every week from the beginning of May until the end of September trying to resolve the issue.The solution came in three parts:The Selectmen and Board of Health approved several cost-saving design changes.Some costs were re-negotiated with the engineers and general contractor.And we used nearly all of the contingency fund built into the original appropriation.Through the diligent efforts of all involved,the project will actually be concluded significantly under budget. Although a few punch hst items remain uncompleted at the end of 1989,an opening ceremony was held on December 2,and the Station has been in operation since that time. Respectfully submitted, John Anson Whealler,Chairman Arthur L.Lehr,Jr. Peter O'Connor William E.Baird 169 Recycling Committee The Recycling Committee was officially formed in June 1981.However,Cohasset had taken the forefront in volunteer recycling many years prior to that.The Selectmen appoint the Committee,which reports to the Board of Health.Meetings are held at the Recycling- Transfer Facility (RTF)on the first Sunday of the month at 1 1:00 AM. The 1 988 Town Meeting unanimously passed a Mandatory Recycling Bylaw which the Board of Health began enforcing when regulations were promulgated and the RTF opened (November 1989).A new and expanded Rycycling Center was established and a separate compost area was graded with established windrows.Cohasset was one of twenty commu- nities to receive a state grant ($7,936)for setting up a compost site.The RTF supervisor is responsible for enforcing the Recycling Bylaw for residents and businesses;the Health Agent and Board members enforce the bylaw for trash haulers.Fees are charged for large appliances,whiteware,underground storage tanks and tires. Newspaper recycling began in 1955 with the first Boy Scout drive.Current recyclables include newspaper,corrugated cardboard,glass,metal,aluminum,tires,and yard waste (managed by the Board of Health).The Boy Scouts manage returnable bottles and cans,using the profits for various scout projects.The Recycling Committee recently set up polystyrene recycling at the Deer Hill School and plans to begin the same at the High School.The High School began office and computer paper recycling in December,and the Town Hall plans to begin recycling of office and computer paper in January 1990. The Recycling Committee believes education is the key to a successful recycling program and plans several educational weekends throughout the year at the RTF.Committee members work closely with the schools promoting recycling.An Educators'Conference on Trash is to be held January 20,1990,at the Harvard Graduate School of Education,and several Committee members plan to attend.Five Committee members attended an all-day recycling conference last October. Respectfully submitted Arthur Lehr,Chairman Merle S.Brown John F.Hubbard Plymouth County Mosquito Control Commission 1989 was a year when overall mosquito production was higher than normal.The timing and amounts of rainfall were nearly optimal for the most bothersome mosquito species.Every single month from April through September had above normal rainfall.Trap collections of flood-water mosquitoes were far greater than ever before,significantly exceeding 1988, which had been the record year.In our operating area efforts aimed at immature larval mosquitoes were successful,but could not keep up with spreading populations.More and more reliance had to be placed on ultra low volume spraying to reduce adult mosquito populations to tolerable levels.All sprayers and trucks operated well,and almost no time was lost to breakdowns.Employees pitched in and when needed,overtime work was carried out. 170 The threat of the mosquito transmitted disease Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE)was low in 1989.There was some concern that this season's outbreak of EEE in the mid-Atlantic states might spread northward.Some stepped up spraying was carried out.No horse or human cases occurred.Virus was recovered from bird feeding mosquitoes.The recurring problem of EEE in Southeastern Massachusetts continues to ensure cooperation between this Project and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health The figures specific to the Town of Cohasset are given below.While mosquitoes do not respect town lines,the information given below does provide a tally of the activities which have had the greatest impact on the health and comfort of Cohasset residents. Insecticide application:3,968 acres were treated using truck mounted sprayers for control of adult mosquitoes.More than one application was made to the same site if mosquitoes reinvaded the area.The first treatments were made in May and the last in September. Our greatest effort has been targeted at mosquitoes in the larval stage,which can be found in woodland pools,swamps,marshes,and other standing water areas.Inspectors continually gather data on these sites and treat with highly specific larvicides when immature mosquitoes are present.Last year a total of 73 inspections were made to 65 catalogued breeding sites. Finally,we have been tracking complaint response time;that is,the time between notice of a mosquito problem and response by one of our inspectors.The complaint response time in the Town of Cohasset was less than two days. Water Management:During 1989,crews removed blockages,brush and other obstruc- tions from 2,750 linear feet of ditches and streams to prevent overflows or stagnation that can result in mosquito breeding.This work,together with machine reclamation,is most often carried out in the fall and winter. Machine Reclamation:1 ,240 linear feet of ditch was reconstructed in Cohasset,using one of the Project's three track-driven backhoes. Mosquito Species:Coquillettidia perturbans was the dominant mosquito collected in the Cohasset trap.Other important mosquitoes collected included Ae^^j vexans and Culiseta melanura. We encourage citizens or municipal officials to call our office for information about mosquitoes,mosquito-borne diseases,control practices,or any other matters of concern. Frank E.Parris,Chairman Carolyn Brennan,Vice Chairman Robert A.Thomdike,Secretary William J.Mara Richard E.Krugger,Sr. 171 Design Review Board The seven members of the Design Review Board had an active year.The Board was asked for and provided design opinions on six projects to the Planning Board.These projects ranged from a proposed renovation of an existing shopping center to a proposed new gasoline station on Route 3A. In addition,the Board provided a design opinion on a proposed affordable housing project to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Respectfully submitted, Gordon H.Hislop,Chairman Robert A.Stansell,Jr. Eileen M.Corbett Nancy S.Garrison Peter O'Connor Roger S.Whitley,Associate Maxwell R.Pounder Cox Estate Study Committee Two brief organizational meetings of the Cox Estate Study Committee were held during the summer of 1989,but since we were informed that the property would soon be sold to a person intending to use it as a private residence,the members of the committee decided that there was no further reason to meet. Edward T.Atkinson,Convener Robert G.Ralston Donald E.Staszko John Pfaffmann Veneta P.Roebuck Paula A.M.Knowles 172 PUBLIC SAFETY Fire Department I hereby submit the annual report of the Cohasset Fire Department for the year ending December 31,1989.

WIRE INSPECTIONS.All work done by electrical contractors was inspected by the Department and fees turned in to the Town Treasurer. TOWN BUILDINGS.All electrical work and repairs on Town-owned buildings was done by the Wire Department. I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen for their cooperation with the Department and all the men who worked with me this past year. Respectfully submitted, Stephen F.Wigmore,Supt.of Wires Animal Control Department The Animal Control Department has again had a very busy year.An increase in animal related accidents and animal bites accounts for the rise in calls.A total of 22 dogs were struck and killed by autos.Fifty-four citations were issued to dog owners for violation of the Town's dog control law.Residents must remember that the Town does have a control law and dogs are not allowed to roam unattended on any town property or on any private property without the owner(s)consent.If you have any questions regarding the Town control law or any animal-related law,please call my office at the Town Hall.Just a reminder to dog owners: dog licenses are now issued on a calendar year and are available at the Town Clerk's office. Respectfully submitted, William P.Quigley Animal Control Officer 17*^ Police/Fire Station Renovation Committee The committee was formed on August 2,1988 by vote of the Selectmen.Committee members were Gerard A.Buckley,David J.Chase,Francis Collins,William Higgins, Barbara J.Moore,Police Chief Joseph M.Kealey,Fire Chief Daniel F.Brock. Selectmen charged the Committee to develop plans for renovation of the building, prevent further deterioration,and bring the building up to current codes,including facilities for female personnel and appropriate handicap access. Under the leadership of Barbara Moore,the Committee developed criteria for the selection of an architect to complete the work. Over 31 appUcations were received and reviewed.Twelve were personally inter- viewed,resulting in the selection of Strekalowski and Hoit of Hingham.During the course of the year,the Committee,together with the professionals,met with appropriate Town Boards and officials. As a result of the combined input,a Final Plan was developed and presented to the Town meetings,with an estimate of construction cost not to exceed $714,000.Regrettably, after being approved by voters attending the annual meeting,it was lost on the override vote. The Committee has continued to meet during the Fall of 1989 under Vice Chairman Gerard Buckley.The major thrust has been to explore ways of reducing costs,while still meeting the Selectmen's charge.A revised warrant article has been prepared for the 1990 Annual Town Meeting. Respectfully submitted, Gerard A.Buckley,Vice Chairman Barbara J.Moore,Chairman (resigned) David J.Chase Francis Collins William Higgins Joseph M.Kealey (ex officio) Daniel F.Brock (ex officio) 176 PUBLIC WORKS Highway Department During the months of January,February and March we concentrated our efforts on snow removal and ice control.Once again,I feel we can all be proud of the job the men from the Highway Deparunent and the hired contractors have done in keeping our streets safe during the winter months.Cohasset is indeed one of the safest towns for travel after a snow storm,and for that,we can thank these conscientious workers. With any break in the weather,my Department worked on the repair and/or replace- ment of catch basins and connecting pipes.In all,six basins were rebuilt and one new basin was installed.Twenty-four feet of 8-inch aluminum pipe was installed with the new basin. Once the good weather arrived,we started our program of road sweeping.Every street was swept and cleaned of the build-up of sand and general winter debris.During the following months the sweeper was out frequently,keeping the streets clean. During the year my men replaced or repaired signs where needed. The Highway Department was also active in road resurfacing in 1989.With money entirely from State Grants,a total of 2,008 tons of asphalt was used to resurface a section of North Main Street from Sohier S treet to Rosano Lane.The Deparunent also resurfaced 1 ,500 feet of sidewalk.We also paved the Town Hall parking lot in the rear of the Town Hall addition. Our most rewarding project,however,was the rebuilding of Common Pond.All of us here and other cooperating departments feel great pride in finishing this project.It adds to the beauty of the Common area to see children and adults able to use it for skating this winter. I would like to extend special thanks to my men,and to Stephen Wigmore of the Wire Department,Ben Curley of the Water Deparunent,and Peter Laugelle of the Tree &Park Department for their continued support and cooperation. Respectfully submitted Harold W.Litchfield Highway Surveyor Tree,Park &Cemetery Department The Tree &Park Department had a very busy spring,summer and fall maintaining the Town*s parks,commons,and playing fields due to a lot of rain and hot weather.Because of additional cuts in our budget,we did not have a capital outlay budget this year.We concentrated on work that did not involve a lot of equipment,but mainly use of labor. The Cemetery Department made some improvements to Green Gate and Perkins Cemeteries which involved repairing walls and fences. The Tree &Park Deparunent would like to thank other departments for their help and cooperation. Respectfully submitted Peter G.Laugelle,Superintendent 177 Sewer Commission There has been no change in the Town's wastewater program in 1989. The plant continues to operate on a satisfactory basis.As of September 1,1989,our contractor,Y.W.C.Northeast,Inc.merged with Metcalf and Eddy.This latter firm is now performing under the Town's operation and maintenance contract for the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Commission is still awaiting word on State funding for the Hull intermunicipal project.It is not possible to predict when funding will be available,or to what extent. Respectfully submitted, Edward M.Guild,Chairman R.Gary Vanderweil,Jr. Henry A.Rattenbury Water Department During 1989 the Water Department produced 194 million gallons.Reservoir levels remained excellent with a rainfall of 57.16 inches. The Deparunent experienced a revenue surplus for FY89,of which $30,000 was appropriated to reimburse the General Fund for repayment of monies borrowed from the Town to construct the new u-eatment facilities in the late 70 's.The Board intends to continue this policy. The Board of Water Commissioners would like to extend their best wishes and appreciation to retiring Superintendent Benjamin P.Curley for his accomplishments, dedication and loyalty to the Department and the Town.In 1984 he was responsible for the new main installation on Atlantic Avenue,Border Street and Gammons Road which were a source of constant repair.The Jerusalem Road line was cleaned and relined,improving the flow to that area.Mr.Curley retired in December with over 22 years of service to the Department. We thank the men and women of our Department for their continued efforts and service throughout the year.We further acknowledge and appreciate the cooperation of the other town deparunents and personnel for their assistance,with special thanks to Highway Surveyor Harold Litchfield and his staff. Respectfully submitted Ronald H.Goodwin,Chairman William J.Montuori James R.Sheerin Board of Water Commissioners 178 Cemetery Study Committee During 1989,we were successful in having fourteen acres of land transferred to the Selectmen for use as a cemetery from the School Deparunent.The land off Pleasant Street will meet the Town's cemetery needs for nearly a century. Plans and specifications are now being prepared to begin construction in the Fall of 1990. The Committee revised the cemetery rules and regulations,and the Selectmen have adopted them.The new grave prices will assure that cemetery construction will be self- funding. Respectfully submitted, Glenn A.Pratt,Chairman Mary A.Hartwell William J.Ferriter Peter G.Laugelle (ex officio) Government Island Study Committee This volunteer committee was voted by the residents of Cohasset in 1946 to act as advisors to the Selectmen.The Committee consists of seven community-minded members whose interest is in the Town and the preservation of Government Island,one of Cohasset*s most historical landmarks. The Committee makes recommendations to the Selectmen,who evaluate and accept or reject suggestions. During 1989 one meeting was held to discuss the current reconstruction of the top section of Minots Light,on the Island,by the Historical Commission. The Committee feels that Government Island is one of the Town's greatest assets, historically,commercially,and recreationally.We want it to be used,appreciated,and loved by all ~townspeople and visitors. I want to thank the Committee members for their interest and support.

The Council on Aging was organized in 1 969 under M.G .L.Chap.40,sec.8B ,to define and meet the needs of Cohasset's population sixty years and older.The Council on Aging's long-range goals and objectives include identifying needs and developing services to meet these needs,either locally or in conjunction with regional providers,and advocating new services and resources that will be beneficial to Cohasset's older residents. We are proud and pleased to be celebrating our Twentieth Anniversary this year.We look forward to the challenges of the 1 990's.We are confident that the Council on Aging will continue to provide quality services to our ever growing senior population. I am proud to be a part of that effort.

The long range plan for the house is renovation for use as a congregate frail elderly unit.In the interim,plans are being discussed to temporarily lease the house to a non-profit organization which advocates help for the mentally retarded. Plans are proceeding under Chapter #705 to build six duplexes for family affordable housing.A Citizens Advisory Group was formed and comceptual consensus plans await approval at the State level. 181 Funding for the renovation and rehabilitation of the elderly housing complex continued under the auspices of the State Modernization Bureau and the scope of work completed included drainage,paving,building repairs,and bathroom renovations in handicapped units. Energy conservation measures were implemented with the installation of storm patio doors. The elderly units continue to be fully occupied,and nine new residents were welcomed to the complex this year. The Authority wishes to thank the Highway Department,Fire Department,Social Service League,Visiting Nurses,Council on Aging,Homemakers,and all agencies that contribute to the health and well being of the residents at Harborview. Respectfully submitted, John D.Muncey,Chairman Ralph Perroncello,Vice Chairman Stephen F.Wigmore,Treasurer J.Frederick Koed,AssL Treasurer Joanne Young-Nawn,Asst.Secretary Barbara H.Clain,Exec.Director Yolanda I.Baccari,Assistant Paul Pratt Memorial Library In March,the library received the largest bequest in its history,$106,382,under the will of Mercie V.Nichols and the trust of her father,Stephen R.Nichols.Miss Nichols (1899- 1987)and her father (1869-1942)were residents of Cohasset,descendants of Israel Nichols, who lived in Hingham,Hull and Cohasset 1650-1734. Income from this new endowment helped preserve library services in the face of reduced tax support. The main concern of the trustees in 1989 was how to keep the library open in the face of level or reduced tax support.The trustees reviewed reports from the library director in April and in September which showed that unavoidable cost increases will exceed level funding and cannot be covered by new or increased "user fees".The director recommended that the trustees enter into a new effort to raise private gifts.Cuts in services and open hours will be necessary without annual funding increases which match inflation. Budget preparation in November-December outlines three options.Level appropria- tion,which the Advisory Committee has asked for,results is a 6%cut in staff and elimination of Sunday hours,and loss of State aid for library service.A "minimum standard"budget results in a 4%cut in staff and ehmination of Sunday hours,and requires a 3%increase in appropriation.A "level service"budget,which the trustees unanimously recommend,main- tains current level of open hours and staff (with down-grading of one position),and requires a 6.5%increase in the appropriation.None of these options increases the book budget to match price increases.All three options assume the maximum contribution we can reasona- bly expect from Friends of the Library and from the library endowment. Our report last year listed contributors to the endowment beginning in 1901.We are most grateful to persons who between 1983 and 1989 added over $200,000 to the endowment. 182 which now totals about $300,000.We believe these persons are farsighted.We believe the public library will be even more important to citizens in the next century than in the last:to a citizenry which will be better educated and have a greater need for knowledge and for our world's cultural and scientific heritage,as selected,preserved and made accessible in libraries:a body of information and a mode of access which is not matched by other media, however pervasive. The endowment will produce 20%of this year's operating budget,and will be allowed to grow,through reinvestment,to match inflation over the years. The Friends of the Cohasset Library,Inc.were enormously helpful this year,as they have been for 22 years.The Friends helped the trustees conduct a booksale,prepared and mailed membership renewal appeals in June,and prepared and mailed a town-wide membership appeal in October.More than 300 households contributed over $7,000 by the end of December.Friends expended more than $6,000 to provide services beyond the library budget,including:family passes to Plimoth Plantation,Museum of Fine Arts,Science Museum,Children's Museum,and Aquarium;gift books and a field trip for children in the summer reading program;new chairs for the children's room;repair of the chairs and tables; and as sponsor of a town-wide fund appeal. Volunteers gave 2,400 hours,equal to 1.5 fulltime employees,to help at the loan desk and in the office.Our volunteers,many of them faithful for ten years or more,save the taxpayers over $35,000 in personnel costs and help the staff to keep the library open and provide services. The Library,in fiscal year 1989,made 77,000 loans for home use,or 30 loans per hour, or 1 1 loans per resident. We estimate that staff performed another 44,000 service transactions,or 17 per open hour,assisting users in person or by phone. Traffic counts show that people visit the library 65,000 times a year,or 25 visits per open hour,or 9 visits per capita. Items re-shelved or shelf-checked per open day:600. New books selected,ordered and processed weekly:68. Magazines and newspaper issues received and processed weekly:97. We have expressed the community's gratitude to the following persons and organiza- tions who made gifts to the book fund in 1989: In Memory of From Mrs.T.Clinton Johnson Community Garden Club Mrs.Frank Neer Community Garden Club Dorothy Putnum Cohasset Garden Club Shirley F.Neer Cohasset Garden Club For the Book Fund Scituate-Cohasset Newcomers Club Sam Maletz Eleanor Maletz Walter O'Meara Norfolk Partners Ltd.;Mr&Mrs Joseph Potolicchio;Mr&Mrs James Kuhn; Mr&Mrs Jeffrey Waal;Joyce Lennon &Family Evelyn Wood Mr&Mrs John Barnard Jr. Respectfully submitted, Barbara M.Power,Chairman 183 Recreation Commission During the year,5,764 individuals of all ages participated in various structured programs,activities and special events.While severely restricted by budget problems,we have continued to use our Revolving Account Fund for 100%self-supporting programs.We revolved $16,644 in the conduct of programs,ski trips and special activities which may legally be provided for by this method. The larger sports programs,such as youth tennis lessons and tournaments,as well as playground programs,vacation programs,open gyms,etc.,are conducted through money provided for in our regular budget.During the year we generated $23,956 by way oi per capita fee charges.Also applied to offset the following fiscal year tax rate through the General Fund are fees generated from sales of Facility Permits,which totalled $23,139. Our Youth Job Opportunity Program affords youths with part-time work,and residents with part-time help around the house or yard,or babysitters at affordable rates.This program costs taxpayers no money to operate,yet provides a service to residents of all ages.Further, we obtain grants and private funding for various projects and activities,and serve on or with numerous boards and committees,representing the recreational needs of residents for both current and projected projects.We also act as the Town's agent for a number of worthy causes,such as the Heart Fund,the Jimmy Fund,United Way,etc. Recreation may be one of the least understood disciplines within municipal govern- ment.Very often the word "recreation"will generate a definition inclusive only of children and sports,and while these remain a large part of our function,we are not that resu-ictive. Recreation includes opportunities for residents of all ages in as many forms of leisure pursuits as possible. Our total FY89 budget was $65,292.70,and is broken down as follows: Director's salary $32,531.20 Longevity (Director)200.00 Program wages (six programs)23,018.00 FaciUty Permits clerks 2,238.50 Printing of Permits and application cards,etc.1 ,650.00 Typing and clerical (average 8 hours weekly), (including utilities,telephone,equipment,suppUes,etc.)5,655.00 Total budget $65,292.70 We serve many additional residents indirectly through development and care of facilities.It also allowed us to purchase 5 ,000 resident facility permits and 1 50 beach stickers. Each year the Recreation Deparunent relies on a large number of adult and youth volunteers to help conduct the sports programs,ski trips and special activities.While too numerous to name,we wish to extend sincere gratitude for your work and expertise.A special note of gratitude is extended to Alna L.Ekberg and Joseph Andrade for their service to the Commission until April 1989. The Commission meets at least once a month,and the meetings are open to the public should any resident wish to attend or participate.We always welcome suggestions from residents and program participants.Needs change,as do interests and activities.Our charge is to isolate,identify and accommodate the changing needs and interests of the community. We consider each individual as a resource,and encourage participation at our meetings,or 184 by contacting the office at any time. Respectfully submitted.

Housing Partnership Committee The Cohasset Housing Partnership is a committee appointed by the Selectmen which seeks to promote,create,and facilitate the development of affordable family housing in the Town.We have responsibilities as a Local Housing Partnership (under Massachusetts Housing Partnership guidelines)and as representatives of the interests of Cohasset.Legal, environmental,service,neighborhood,and economic issues are among those we must consider. During 1989 one development was presented to the Partnership for our support.Crystal Woods was proposed for a parcel of some 20 acres,8 of which lie in Cohasset,12 of which lie in Scituate.We endorsed this proposal after hearing from neighbors,the Town of Scituate, and many meetings with the development team.Crystal Woods qualified for the Massachu- setts Homeownership Opportunity Program (30%of the units to be sold at "affordable"rates to qualified first time home buyers)and received a Comprehensive Permit from the Cohasset 2^ning Board of Appeals.No development had taken place by the end of 1989. In the spring,members of the Parmership,the Fair Housing Committee,and the Housing Authority presented three informational programs to interested citizens.We showed slides,borrowed from the MHP,of various categories of affordable housing,and answered questions about the different proposals before the three groups. Opportunities to purchase "affordable"housing by qualified first time home buyers must be found.The Partnership encourages all citizens to help us meet this challenge.We will continue to try to keep the comni unity informed. Four valuable members of the Partnership completed their service in 1989.Israel Sanchez,Patricia Conway,Robert Moody 2nd,and Nancy Anderson deserve thanks for their conscientious work.Israel was our first Chairman.New members in 1989 include Richard Senechal,Lois Weltman,John Englander,and William Good.

The League office at 16 Highland Ave.,is open for blood pressure checks,blood sugar and anemia screening,tuberculin testing,and general health consultation.The office hours are Monday,Wednesday and Friday from 8:30 A.M.to 9:30 A.M.and 12:30 P.M.to 1:30 P.M. Blood Pressure and Keep-Well clinics were held at the monthly meetings of the 60+ club,on a regular monthly schedule,at the Senior Center and the senior citizens'housing at 60 Elm St.These clinics are open to town residents. Additional available clinics were blood pressure screening at the post office,a cholesterol screening at the Senior Center,a mammography van,two flu clinics,and a mini health fair for Cohasset teachers,which included a cholesterol screening. The Annual Health Fair,which takes place in May,was well attended and provided opportunities for residents to participate in various health screenings,to learn about available health programs,and to become familiar with resource information. We are grateful to our many volunteers for their continued loyal service and assistance to the Social Service League.

Public Health Nurse 186 Drug and Alcohol Committee The Drug and Alcohol Committee,established by the Board of Selectmen,has been meeting weekly since September 26,1989.During this period,we have interviewed experts in all phases of substance use/abuse.These experts have provided to us as clear a picture as possible of substance use/abuse in our community. Our preUminary findings indicate that alcohol is the most widely used and abused drug in Cohasset,cutting across all age groups.While cocaine is very much present in Cohasset, its use appears to be centered among adults.Young people and adults,both,abuse marijuana; again,in significantly smaller numbers.It has been indicated to the Committee that virtually any drug is available to any resident,if he or she knows whom to contact.Alcohol,however, predominates as the community's drug of choice. As previously stated,the use of alcohol and other drugs is not limited to any sector of the community,with incidents of abuse present from sixth graders to senior citizens.Nor is any neighborhood,economic level or occupation immune.While meaningful statistics for Cohasset specifically are not available for comparison,national statistics indicate that well over three-quarters of the population use alcohol,with 10%of the population abusing the substance.Our preliminary findings substantiate those statistics,and indicate that the percentages may well be higher in our community.We have been unable to quantify any meaningful statistics for the use of marijuana,cocaine,and other controlled substances in Cohasset The Committee has been reminded,on numerous occasions,that substance abuse is a disease,not a moral affliction.There are many educational programs underway in other communities,treatment programs,both locally and regionally,and support groups through- out the South Shore dealing with substance abuse.It is the Committee's intention to draw from all of these resources in recommending a plan of action to the Selectmen and to the Town.These recommendations,including funding alternatives,will be included in the Committee's next report. Respectfully submitted, John A.Golden,Chairman Patricia W.Baird Wigmore Pierson Richard Lee Bugley Robert Whittaker Keith F.Knowles Sarah R.Pease Rita M.Strong Priscilla S.Tebbetts,Clerk Cohasset Historical Commission The Cohasset Historical Commission has had another good and productive year. 1.Work continues to progress on the reconstruction of the Minots Light Project.We have broadened the base of interest.There is more involvement in both donations and participation.It is anticipated that next year we will make substantial advances from the efforts made this year.We hope to have both the Lantern Room and the copper roof well under construction. 187 2.With the able leadership of Pat Murphy and Judy Fitzsimmons,we accomplished a long term desire of involving school children in the history of the Town of Cohasset by helping to celebrate the early landing of Captain John Smith to Cohasset Harbor.The students as well as the town officials participated in a meaningful and successful tribute to the discovery of the Town. 3.With the able help of the United States Coast Guard,we paid tribute to the lighting and completion of the reconstruction of Minots Ledge Light House.To avoid confusion,this is the original light house on the ledge out in the ocean,as opposed to the replica being built on Government Island.Three to four hundred people watched the lighting,a Breachers Buoy demonstration,a dory race,a helicopter and jet airplane "fly by,*'speeches by dignitaries,and enjoyed clam chowder provided by the Coast Guard. 4.We continue a number of ongoing projects,such as maintaining the historical integrity of the Town with the inventorying of historical assets and the awareness of important points of interest that may be in jeopardy. We meet the second Monday of the month in the Town Hall at eight o'clock.We welcome visitors and input from concerned citizens,for our central purpose is to maintain the flavor and integrity of the Town of Cohasset. Respectfully submitted, Noel A.Ripley,Chairman Hermon J.Maynard Judith E.Fitzsimmons Hamilton T.Tewksbury Nancy C.Snowdale David H.Wadsworth,Secretary Daniel Young Cohasset Common Historic District Commission During the 1989 calendar year,the Commission continued its prior practice of holding regular meetings on the first Monday of each month and special meetings as necessary.The Rules of Procedure of the Commission have now been amended to the effect that the Commission will hold regular meetings of the first Monday of January,April,July,and October,and on the first Monday of other months if an application is received at least seven days prior thereto,as well as holding special meetings when necessary. During 1989,among the matters of concern to the Commission were the replacement of benches on the Common,completion of the repair to the pond on the Common,and replacement of the roof of the "old"Town Hall.

The fiscal restraints imposed by Proposition 2 1/2 required that the operating budget originally approved by the School Committee and adopted at the Annual Town Meeting in April be reduced by $282,000 or nearly six percent.As a result of this reduction the following programs and positions were either reduced or eliminated: Staff Reduction For 1989-1990 School Year #of Staff F.T.E.* Assistant Superintendent Business Ed.Teacher 1.0 .4 Home Economics Teacher 1.0 Science Teacher .4 Math Teacher .2 Spec.Ed.Teacher (High School) Spec.Ed.Teacher (Osgood) Enrichment Teacher .6 .5 .8 Math.Lab.Aide (High School) IMS Aide (Deer Hill) P.E.Teachers (High School) Elementary Art Teacher Coaches .8 .2 2.0 .4 7.0 Bus Drivers 3 3.0 Custodian 1 1.0 24 19.3 Other Reductions: Athletic 50,000 Transportation Educational Supplies Equipment F.T.E.=Full Time Equivalent Staff 40,000 10,000 17,000 The effects of these reductions have been substantial although they have been mitigated by the combined efforts of the staff,parents and the community.Community and parent involvement has resulted in the construction of "Osgood Playpark".Parent volunteers have worked with teachers to ensure that students continue to receive an art experience at the Osgood School and that the Individualized Math Study and Computer Program continues at the Deer Hill School.Through a community-wide effort led by the Parent School Organi- zation,Cohasset Schools have offset the reduction in computer hardware and software purchases by collecting sales slips from Stop &Shop Company.As a result of their effort, Cohasset has received to date the equivalent of eleven computers to be utilized in our educational programs.These are but a few examples of the cooperative activities that we must continue to encourage if we are to in some small degree offset the impact of these substantial budget reductions. 189 We would also like to acknowledge the cooperation of parents in adjusting to the reduced level of bus transportation available to our students.This reduced service has resulted in many students who were previously bussed to school,walking and for many others,their walk to their bus stops has been increased considerably.We realize that this situation has inconvenienced many parents,but in our opinion this reduction was preferable to even deeper "education"cuts. In the area of athletics,some teams were eliminated and for the first time student athletes were required to pay a user's fee in order to participate in interscholastic athletics. Fund raising activities were initiated by a private group,the Friends of Cohasset Athletics, and their first fund raising activity,a concert at the Cohasset Music Circus,raised approxi- mately $6,300 to offset costs in the athletic budget. Acting on the recommendation of the Superintendent,the School Committee voted to reorganize the central administrative staff.The position of Assistant Superintendent of Schools was eliminated and the position of Guidance Director at the High School was combined with that of the Administrator of Special Education to form the new position of Director of Student Services.Although this reorganization reahzed a substantial savings,it was also the intent of the School Committee to improve services to students by this consolidation. As we look forward to the next few years,we are concerned about a factor that may have gone unnoticed during the past few years as our school system adjusted to the fiscal limitations imposed by Proposition 2 1/2.During this time of cutbacks and reorganization, we were fortunate to be experiencing concurrently both a reduction in our student population and an increase in State aid to our community.However,we are all aware that Cohasset,as well as all other communities,has received a reduction in local aid payments during this past year.It is projected that State aid will be maintained at its present level during the coming year,and this,combined with increased assessments for State services,will undoubtedly put an additional burden on local budgets.Additionally,based on our enrollment projections we will also be experiencing increased school enrollment.This year,for example,due to an unexpected influx of first grade students we were required to add an additional section of first grade.If we simply adjust our enrollment figures to respond to the difference in the number of seniors graduating and the number of projected kindergarten enroUees,we will in the next school year have a net increase in our student population of approximately twenty students. Although it is encouraging to see our student population stabihze and to actually project growth,this growth will,however,place additional financial burdens on our system which, due to the present financial limitations imposed by the State statute,is unable to increase revenues beyond a set limit which makes no allowance for either inflation or increased enrollment. It is important to note that even within the previously mentioned limitations,progress is being made within our school system.This progress is,in our opinion,the result of the support of the community,which has in the past two years approved overrides which have substantially increased the amount of funding available to the school department and other town departments.Without this increased support and the combined efforts of administra- tion,teachers,staff and parents,as well as other community members,your schools would not be able to continue to provide the high level of educational instruction which we feel is necessary to ensure the future success of our students. We are,however,concerned about the future.Without continued community support we will be unable to carry out the goals set by the school district.During the present year,the School Committee set the following goals: 190 School Facilities Professional Development (Evaluation) Administrative Organization Curriculum Community Support School Committee Priorities for the 1989-1990 School Year *Create a five year capital budget,with priority projects for each year. *Tie this budget to the town-wide capital budget planning process. Have all evaluations reviewed by senior management. Examine the process of (re)appointment of Department Heads. Determine the possibility/feasibility of modifying the current evaluation instrument. Establish management objectives at all levels of administration.Review these objectives in six months to determine direction,trends (interim,on-going evaluation). Monitor the administrative reorganization. Create five-year financial projections.Tie these projections to the capit^budget and curriculum master plans. Create a five-year master plan. Establish a communication tool.Include students in the production and dissemination. Establish a specific tie to the business community.Establish a specific tie to the elderly community.Involve students in both of these programs. The School Committee has also approved the establishment of stricter promotion and graduation requirements for our high school students. The maintenance needs of our buildings must also be addressed on a short term as well as a long term basis.Renovations to the science room at the high school have been recently completed,and with the scheduled replacement of a section of the Osgood roof,all of the roofs on our school buildings will have been replaced within the last five years.Requests will be made at the Annual Town Meeting to make necessary repairs to the septic system,the bathrooms and the heating system at the Osgood School. All of our educational initiatives require your active support.We feel that investing in the education of our youth is a wise decision,and we hope that yoiu*continued support will indicate that you share with us this same commiunent.

Everybody loves a bargain,or so it is said,and one of the best bargains I can imagine is to get two quality products for the price of one.An even better bargain would be if the product were to grow in value over the years and enable one to use its increased value to purchase homes and automobiles,afford travel to exciting places around the world,raise a family in comfort and security,and as an extra measure,add to the economic well being of society.Such a bargain has been available for the past twenty-eight years at South Shore Regional Vocational Technical High School.It is truly Two Educations Instead of One. Graduates of South Shore have distinguished themselves in all walks of life.Some have become recognized experts in their chosen career area.Some have entered the political arena and performed valuable public service.Some have gone on for advanced training and college degrees and become the core of our nation's technological resource as technicians and engineers.Others have chosen the teaching profession.Some have gone on to become war heroes.You know our graduates.They repair your cars.They build your houses.They cool and heat your houses.They repair your high tech equipment.They have machined and fabricated the products you use every day.They cut and style your hair.And they pay taxes in every one of the communities on the South Shore.They are your neighbors and your friends. Your community has contributed much to the quality of life on the South Shore by the students you have sent and the support you have given South Shore Vo Tech.In summary, 457 students are enrolled for the 1990 school year,4 of which come from your community. Seventy-six percent of our population are males and twenty-four percent are female.The class of 1989 graduated 97 students,1 of them came from Cohasset.On the average,80%of our graduates go directly into careers for which they have been trained,15%go on to further 193 education or technical training,3%go into the military and 2%choose to delay their entry into the work force for a variety of reasons.South Shore does not have a general curriculum. Every student is on a direct path to further career training or immediate employment in a well paying position. The Honors Program at South Shore is a challenging and rewarding experience for those students who qualify.This grade 10 through 12 program features advanced study in a variety of academic areas with plans under development to expand the program into a variety of exciting technical studies experiences. South Shore's Continuing Education Program has been offering an expanded number of training and educational opportunities to our citizens for over twenty years.Over 600 adult students yearly avail themselves of a wide variety of evening programs from standard and custom designed technical skills training,to craft courses,academic programs,financial seminars and college credit courses.We welcome your inquiries and suggestions.Continuing Education personnel can be reached at either 878-0424 or 878-8822. South Shore has been proud to serve your community over the years.We appreciate your support and pledge to continue to deliver the highest quality programs it is within our power to provide to you and to your children with Two Educations Instead of One. Respectfully submitted, Chfford W.Easton Superintendent-Director South Shore Regional School Committee The South Shore Regional School District operates the Vocational-Technical High School,with campuses in Hanover and Abington.There are 450 students this year,but only four from Cohasset. The School offers seventeen vocational-technical programs leading to careers in many businesses and opportunity for self-employment throughout the South Shore.VoTech has a full curriculum of academic subjects as well,so that 15%of graduates go on to higher education.100%of those seeking jobs are given job offers.Employers would like more applicants if available. The families of Cohasset eighth graders should look into VoTech as an excellent option for those with vocational-technical aptitude.It is a fulfilling opportunity for good pay in the job market.Four years of VoTech training can do wonders for a career and a life!
