Ongoing renovations at Minot Lightkeepers residence near completion as first apartment is occupied. DECEMBER -Cohasset students top state,nation in Scholastic Aptitude Testing. Cohasset Community Center welcomes First Night '94. BOARD OF SELECTMEN 1993 saw a number of community projects completed,from private,non-profit ven- tures like Habitat for Humanity's restoration of the Bates building for affordable housing, and the occupation of the newly renovated apartments at the Lightkeepers House,to state-funded Town projects,such as dredging of the Harbor and the culvert replacement on Doane Street. The process of restoring storm -damaged Town-owned property continued,with riprap repairs to protect Jerusalem Road.It is anticipated that storm -related repairs will be completed in 1994. The past year saw changes in administration of the Police,Fire and Harbor Depart- ments.At the same time,signs of stability are evident,with setJement of several labor contracts during the year. A major state initiative,the Education Reform Act,requires a rearrangement of duties,responsibilities,and priorities of students,parents,teachers,administrators.School Committee members,and taxpayers.Although many of the ideas have merit,the Act takes away from Town Meeting the authority to set local priorities to allocate revenue between schools,public safety,public works,and other local government programs.It remains to be seen if the state will step in and meet its moral,if not legal,responsibilities to fund mandated costs under this legislation. This past year also saw the Town take a major step to acquire Harborfront property, the Cohasset Colonials/Hagerty real estate,which will help improve Harbor access for future generations of Cohasset residents.The Board extends its heartfelt thanks to those citizens,who not only provided financial support in the form of gifts and taxes,but to those who volunteered their time to generate grassroots support for the project,and con- tinue to help plan for its future use. The economy,both regionally and nationally,slowly started an upward turn in 1993. Renovations of office space in the downtown area,coupled with the apparent interest of two additional major supermarket chains in locating here,may be evidence that this trend 18 has reached Cohasset.The Town must be prepared to deal constructively with the oppor- tunities and challenges presented by what could become a new real estate boom in Cohas- set,particularly along Route 3-A. In the months to come,the Town will continue to progress towards establishing E-9- 1-1 emergency telecommunications,continue the regional fire and emergency medical service initiative,and with the Town's concurrence,build a centralized and modem pub- lic works facility. The Selectmen take this opportunity to extend thanks to all boards,committees,vol- unteers,donors,civic and service organizations,and Town employees for their continued dedication and hard work,as well as to the Norfolk County Engineering Department for its ongoing contributions in providing surveying,traffic engineering,and design services.

Dorothea Parmenter was reappointed to the Board for three years by the Board of Selectmen.As Linda Schultz left her post at the school,the Registrars appointed Deanna Mulligan to replace Linda as the School Assistant Registrar.We would like to thank Linda for her dedication and hard work over the years and welcome Deanna. The following elections and town meetings were held: Annual and Special Town Meeting -March 27,1993 Annual Town Election -April 3,1993 Special Town Meeting -October 25,1993 The Annual Listing of Persons seventeen years of age and older as per General Laws,Chapter 51,Section 4 was conducted by mail during January.Voter registration may be done at the Town Hall any day during regular business hours as well as special hours designated for elections and town meetings.To register to vote you must be eigh- teen years of age on or before election day,bom in the United States or be a naturalized citizen.At this time we have a total of 5,039 voters -1082,Democrats,1062 Repubh- cans,2895 UnenroUed. Respectfully submitted, Margaret Charles,Chairwoman Marion Douglas,Clerk Judith Volungis Dorothea Parmenter Report of the Town Archivist During 1993 the Town's archive records vault at Town Hall remained in service con- tinually.New,permanent Public Records were added as they were turned over to the Archivist by various Town Hall offices. During the year several researchers utilized the historic Town records. The environmental controls of the Town's records storage vaults continue to operate according to standards set by the Commonwealth's Public Records laws.Storage space available on the shelves of the Town Hall vaults remains adequate,with room for contin- ued expansion of usage through the foreseeable future. Respectfully submitted, David H.Wadsworth,Town Archivist 78 Report of the Bylaw Committee The Bylaw Committee has reviewed those articles proposed for each Town Meeting which involve changes in or additions to the Town Bylaws to assure that they are in con- formity with existent Bylaws in style and proper placement in the text.The Committee has also reviewed such articles passed by Town Meeting and accepted by the Attorney General and has directed that these changes be incorporated in copies of the Bylaws in the office of the Town Clerk. The Bylaw Committee has also checked those legislative acts of the Massachusetts General Court which have been adopted by Cohasset Town Meetings between 1985 and 1992,to assure that they are listed appropriately in the General Bylaws of the Town. Respectfully submitted, Mary E.Gainor,Chairman W.Roger Nast Louis F.Eaton,Jr. Richard A.Henderson,Town Counsel (ex officio) Marion L.Douglas,Town Clerk (ex officio) Report of the Town Moderator Following my election as Town Moderator,I made a pledge to streamhne and demystify the Town Meeting process.I am pleased to report the following positive initia- tives toward that goal. As Moderator,I developed hand-out Uterature for distribution at Town Meeting which contained by-law and other relevant information.Included in the informational piece are proposed changes to be voted at the time of the meeting.Due to the popularity of the material,I have asked that the information be printed in the Town Warrant so that all Cohasset residents may be similarly informed. In an effort to stay current on all major issues involving Town government,I attended the long range planning session conducted by the Board of Selectmen and Advi- sory Committee,and have established a Moderator's mail box at Town Hall,and have been placed on all relevant mailing lists,including that of the State Association of Town Moderators.I confer on a regular basis with members of the Board of Selecunen and Advisory Committee,and make an effort to participate in constructive dialogue on mat- ters of consequence to the Town. In a continuing effort to streamline the Town Meeting process,and make meetings move along in a more productive,fast paced manner,I have worked with proponents of various articles to help them format presentations with brevity and clarity.The goal is not to limit free speech,rather to encourage solutions rather than speeches.Another time saving measure is the restoration of the sequentially numbered selection of articles.I have advocated for Cable TV coverage to afford expanded access to all,especially elderly or infirm residents. 79 Under the Troika process,a number of key vacancies on important Boards and Com- mittees were filled.In an effort to open up the selection process,care was taken to iden- tify and announce all vacancies,and to give considerable advance notice of Troika meet- ings.Press releases were published by local papers in order to ensure an inclusionary process. In the upcoming year,I will aggressively seek ways to expand the Town Warrant, while reducing production and distribution costs,and will explore constructive reform to the Troika system.As always,I welcome comments and suggestions from all Cohasset residents. Respectfully submitted, George Marlette,Moderator Report of the Committee to Survey the Structure and Functions 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.To this end the Committee held meetings on a regular basis this past year.We have also met,individually and collec- tively,with members of other committees.Town officials,and interested citizens. Over the course of the past year the Committee has begun what we expect will be a comprehensive review of Town government.This Committee remains concerned that Department of Revenue data continues to project an increased gap between Town rev- enues and expenditures,and will continue to support exploring both regionalization pos- sibilities and structural changes which promote economies without reducing services to a level unacceptable to the Town. In the course of the year the Chairman and Secretary were reelected. Respectfully submitted, F.Roy Fitzsimmons,Chairman Wilson H.Pile,Secretary Jean M.Muir Louis Simeone Stacy V.Weaver James L.Whelan 80 Town Counsel Consistent with the pattern that has prevailed over most of the last five years,the Town spent considerably less during the 1993 fiscal year in legal fees than it did in the prior fiscal year.The reduction in legal cost is a direct result of the concentration of effort in preventive legal services and less time directed towards the prosecution and defense of lengthy court cases.The Town cur- rently is not a defendant in any major lawsuit involving exposure to monetary damages and is using outside counsel only in connection with two major environmental matters.The Town retains the law firm of Goodwin,Procter &Hoar to represent it in environmental matters relating to or arising out of solutions to its wastewater management problems.While there is still a lawsuit pending against the Town entitled Division of Water Pollution Control of the Commonwealth of Mas- sachusetts V.Town of Cohasset,Suffolk Superior Court,Docket No.38652,most of special counsel time is consumed in negotiations with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to persuade it to allow the Town to expand its current wastewater treatment plant.The Utigation is essentially inactive; however,it is anticipated that the suit will not be dismissed by the Commonwealth until a solution is found to the Town's sewerage problem. The Town retains Michael A.Leon of the law firm of Warner &Stackpole to provide legal advice involving any matters relating to or arising out of the Cohasset Heights Landfill.Currently, special counsel is responsible for protecting the Town's interest in the various permit processes involving the proposed expansion of the landfill and matters requiring compliance with environ- mental regulations as they pertain to the existing landfill site. The Town also retained special municipal labor counsel,Robert W.Garrett,to provide legal assistance in connection with matters arising out of collective bargaining agreements by and between the Town of Cohasset and its four labor unions. In addition to conferring with special counsel from time to time,the Town Counsel's office was responsible for the preparation and review of contracts involving municipal departments, review and comment on proposed regulations,and the rendering of opinions to all Town depart- ments other than the School Department in connection with the day-to-day legal affairs of the com- munity.As in past years,the Town Counsel's office defended and prosecuted all other court cases and administrative matters affecting the Town.During the 1993 fiscal year,the Town was a party to several court cases relating to either enforcement of general and zoning bylaws,or the defense of various permit granting boards before the Superior Court in cormection with decisions rendered by those agencies.There were also approximately twenty-five (25)cases pending against the Town of Cohasset in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts'Appellate Tax Board by taxpayers seeking to reduce the assessment on their personal residence or business,three cases pending before the Com- monwealth of Massachusetts'Department of Environmental Protection,Waterways Division,relat- ing to the issuance or denial of mooring locations in Cohasset Harbor,and approximately six (6) tax foreclosure cases pending in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts'Land Court. Other than the environmental cases,the Town did not face many serious legal problems during the 1993 fiscal year.The decline in the number of Court cases and administrative proceedings appears to be as a result of the decreased residential and commercial development in the commu- nity during the early years of the 1990's,as well as a reflection of the responsible effort being put forth by Town employees,elected officials and dozens of volunteers on appointed and standing Town committees in the discharge of their duties to the Town and its citizens.

The past year has brought many changes to our office and will carry through 1994 with the advent of a new Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal program from Data National. When installed,this program will fully integrate the Assessors'and Treasurer/Collector's office for the first time ever.We look forward to being better able to handle abatements of real property and motor vehicle excise taxes through this new program. The past year saw the departure of our first Assistant Assessor/Appraiser,Mr.Joseph DiVito,who performed his job with a great deal of professionalism and earned the respect of many taxpayers.We wish him well in his new position in the City of Water- town. The past year brought a new part time data entry person into our office,Deborah Krupczak.With her talents we have been able to catch up and maintain more accurate changes of ownership,address changes,changes in valuations and permit activity.She will become increasingly more valuable as we install our new computer program. We are most appreciative of Mrs.Janice Rosano,our Senior Clerk,who has weath- ered all of these changes and maintains a high degree of proficiency in deahng with tax- payers. The Assessors present the following value information for all taxable property in the Town of Cohasset: TYPE OF PROPERTY TOTAL ASSESSED VALUE Residential Commercial Industrial Personal Property $714,443,600 59,557,800 5,215,700 9,886,900.

Respectfully submitted. Robert M.Egan Building Inspector/Zoning Officer Conservation Commission The Conservation Commission is made up of seven members who are appointed by the Board of Selectmen.The Commission's responsibility is to protect the fragile wetlands areas of our Town in accordance with the requirements of the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and the Town of Cohasset Wetlands Bylaw.One of the highlights of the past year was the appointment of Edward Graham and Robin Grinnell as Associates.These two new positions were created to provide people interested in appoinunent to the Commission an opportunity to learn about the various rules and regulations by which the Commission must operate,to offer input on a regular basis concerning issues that come before the Commission and to assist the Commission in the performance of its duties. This year the Commission continued its schedule of meeting at least two times each month.Additional meetings were held as necessary to address the large number of issues brought before us.As well as attending these evening meetings.Commissioners regularly inspected properties requiring Conservation approval in OTder to obtain a clear understanding of each project and the wetlands issues involved.We also observed an increase in attendance at our meetings by residents interested in conservation issues and the Wetlands Protection Act. The Commission meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m.at Town Hall with additional meetings as necessary.Members of the Commission and our secretary also attend workshops and conferences in related areas sponsored by such groups as the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions (MACC)and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. Respectfully submitted, Jeffrey C.Waal,Chairman Roseanne M.McMorris,Vice Chairman John K.Bryant Thomas J.Callahan Lynn E.Morgenstem Brian W.Murphy Veneta P.Roebuck Edward S.Graham,Jr.,Associate Robin D.Grinnell,Associate 117 Board of Health In 1993 Robert V.Davenport was elected to the Board after having been appointed to fill a vacancy in 1992.WilUam E.Baird,PE,LSP,was re-elected to the Board and in its reorganization the Board re-elected him chairman.Robert V.Davenport is the clerk and Thomas C.Cook,PE,is the other member.Joseph R.Godzik,VMD,continued as Health Agent,and Carol Oteri-Puffer as Administrative Secretary. In the schools,the problem of levels of lead in water,above the EPA action levels, appears to be a plumbing problem.Replacement of fixture heads,valves,piping,etc.,has reduced lead levels in some areas below the action levels.The schools will continue to replace plumbing over the coming year. At Cushing Plaza there has been no progress toward the repair of the failed septic system servicing the stores.The Plaza was sold to Shaw's Supermarkets in November. The Board is exploring its legal options to solve this problem as soon as possible. Cohasset Heights Ltd.landfill submitted its Final Environmental Impact Report for a fifteen-acre general refuse landfill expansion just before Christmas.It will be carefully reviewed by the Board and its consultants to assure appropriate action will be taken. The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection submitted regulations regarding septic systems and the upgrading of cesspools.After public comment they were to be again reviewed.The Cohasset Tide 5 Study Committee continues to function. The committee is looking at financing options and other issues dealing with homes that have cesspools.Public information sessions will be held as the new regulations develop. Closure of the Town's Cedar Street Landfill is progressing.The Initial Site Assess- ment has been submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection by Camp, Dresser &McKee,the Town's engineering consultant.Actual closure construction should begin in the summer of 1995. Solid waste disposal continues to be a function of the Board of Health.The long term contract with the SEMASS resource recovery facility went into effect in July.A significant increase in disposal costs came into effect at that time.As a result,the resi- dential disposal permit fee was increased to $65.00 to continue the policy of funding about fifty percent of the costs of tipping fees and transportation. The Recycling Committee continues to be very active expanding the items which can be recycled and searching for new markets.The new compacter is working well and sav- ing money. The Board began participation in a fourteen town collaborative to deal with the haz- ards of smoking and environmental tobacco smoke.In April,the USEPA declared envi- ronmental tobacco smoke a Class A carcinogen,i.e.,causing cancer.The Massachusetts Department of Public Health gave a grant of $300,000 to the fourteen towns to reduce smoking by fifty percent by 1999.The fourteen town South Shore Board of Health Col- laborative will work towards this end through policy development,education,cessation programs,and enforcement of laws prohibiting sales of tobacco products to minors.This program is being funded by the twenty-five cents per pack excise tax on cigarettes. The raccoon rabies epizootic continues in Massachusetts.There have been no con- firmed cases in Cohasset,but cases have occurred as close as Milton.Parents should advise children not to play with wildlife and avoid any animal which appears to be acting abnormally. 118 For the first time the Board offered immunizations for pneumococcal pneumonia to persons over sixty-five years of age and those at high risk for respiratory diseases.It is anticipated that this will be an ongoing program. The Revolving Account receipts and expenditures for septage disposal at Upper Blackstone Pollution Abatement District in 1993 were: Receipts 45051.35 Expenditures 42143.35 Interest Earned 380.99. Respectfully submitted, William E.Baird,P.E.,Chairman Robert V.Davenport,Clerk Thomas C.Cook,P.E. Metropolitan Area Planning Council Throughout the year,MAPC has been representing the interests of communities in the region on a number of critical planning issues.In August MAPC initiated a public information process for review and comment on the Regional Transportation Plan,a long-range planning document that lays out future transportation investments in the region.Working within the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)structure,along with 5 other agencies,MAPC participated in the development of the Plan,mandated by the ISTEA (Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act)federal legislation. MAPC's involvement in the Regional Transportation Plan resulted in a final draft that was more reflective of local needs. Other transportation planning initiatives that MAPC participated in on behalf of its communities include coordinating local review of amendments to the TIP (Transportation Improvement Program)the State Implementation Plan (SIP)for Air Quality,and the Pro- gram for Mass Transportation (PMT). MAPC also participated in the federally required reclassification of local roads, hosted an informational forum on the SEP,coordinated and solicited Transportation Demand Management (TDM)and transportation enhancement project development and funding,and participated in an electric vehicle pilot program to demonstrate the viability of alternative fuel vehicles in Massachusetts. As the lead agency for the development of the Overall Economic Development Pro- gram (OEDP)for the region,MAPC brought together local officials and the region's business community to develop the OEDP priorities.In January,the Economic Develop- ment Administration (EDA)approved MAPC's OEDP qualifying the projects contained in it for public works grants from the EDA.During the year,OEDP project funding by the EDA totaled SI.8 million. MAPC's Data Center continued to develop and disseminate information on the com- munities in the region.Last year the center developed a 1990 census profile of sample data for each community in the region,surveyed and compiled an inventory of vacant industrial and commercial sites for each community in the region,and developed journey to work data and population and age group forecasts for each community. 119 MAPC's administrative support of the eight subregions continued to provide an important coordinating link between the towns and the region.In 1993 the South Shore Coalition (SSC)focused on several transportation projects,including the Route 3A Bridge in Marshfield and Scituate,the proposed Route 3 widening project,the Summer Street/George Washington Boulevard bicycle path in Hingham,and the Old Colony Rail Restoration Project.The group also reviewed and responded to the Regional Transporta- tion Plan and the Transportation Improvement Program and considered flood insurance, coastal water quality,economic development,solid waste management,and the South Weymouth Naval Air Station.In May the SSC sponsored a meeting with South Shore legislators to discuss legislative priorities. MAPC also provided administrative support to the South Shore Regional Disposal Planning Board formed in the spring of 1992,to study the feasibility of forming a sohd waste management district. MAPC continues to be a strong voice for local participation in the planning process and a valuable resource to communities.In addition to the above activities,last year MAPC staff also met with SSC town administrators to draft a Request for Proposals for an office supply bid. Respectfully submitted, Martha K.Gjesteby Local MAPC Representative Mosquito Control Committee Efforts of the Mosquito Control Committee were devoted to the following goals: 1)Responding to individual requests by residents for help with mosquito problems in the vicinity of their homes.Visits were made to each household requesting help to dis- cuss mosquito control in the area,and appropriate literature concerning mosquito prob- lems was given.A reporting form is now available in the Board of Health office.All calls dealing with mosquito problems are logged on these forms and turned over to our committee.In 1994 we plan to revisit or call each household reporting to us in 19(93 to ascertain their experiences with mosquitoes. 2)Long-range planning to attain the goal of making Cohasset as free from serious mosquito problems as possible.We met with representatives of the Board of Health, Conservation Commission,Tree and Park Department,and Drainage Study Committee to discuss strategies for effective integrated pest management (IPM)Results of this meeting were reported to the Selectmen,and three requests were made: a)Funds were asked for and granted to purchase a set of 66 topographic maps of the Town at a scale of 1 inch to 100 feet.With the assistance of Town officials,local res- idents,students,and particularly the Plymouth County Mosquito Control Project,we hope to utilize these maps in 1994 to identify potential mosquito-breeding areas.This plan will provide the basis for developing an environmentally compatible program for mosquito control. b)The second request was to reactivate the Drainage Study Committee,which would help both our committee and the Conservation Commission. 120 c)The final request was for assistance from the Highway Department and the Tree and Park Department in identifying brooks and streams which need to be cleared to improve water flow. Our committee would sincerely appreciate advice from any citizens who have had experience in control of air-borne insects. We are happy to welcome for 1994 Donna French,who will be filling a vacancy on the committee.

The 1993 season began with an above normal water table which produced large numbers of spring brood mosquitoes throughout the County.Efforts were directed at larval mosquitoes starting with the spring brood.Ground and aerial larviciding was accomplished using B.T.I.,an environmentally selective bacterial agent.Upon emer- gence of the spring brood of adult mosquitoes,ultra-low -volume adulticiding began. The Project responded to increased numbers of service requests until a drying trend occurred during mid-summer.All sprayers and trucks performed well with little time lost to breakdowns. The threat of the mosquito-transmitted disease Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) was low in 1993.No horse or human cases occurred,but virus was recovered from bird- feeding mosquitoes.The recurring problem of EEE in Southeastern Massachusetts con- tinues 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 hnes,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:1,632 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,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 68 inspections were made to 77 catalogues breeding sites. Water Management:During 1993 crews removed blockages,brush and other obstructions from 3,975 linear feet of ditches and streams to prevent overflows or stagna- tion that can result in mosquito breeding.This work,together with machine reclamation, is most often carried out in the fall and winter. Machine Reclamation:1,545 linear feet of saltmarsh ditch was reconstructed in Cohasset using one of the Project's two track-driven backhoes. 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,with more than 210 com- plaints answered. Mosquito Survey:A systematic sampUng of mosquitoes in Cohasset indicates that Coquillettidia perturbans was the most abundant species.Other important species col- lected included Culex territans and Aedes cantator. —122 — 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. Respectfully submitted, Carolyn Brennan,Chairman Robert A.Thomdike,Vice Chairman Leighton F.Peck,Jr.,Secretary William J.Mara Alice A.Pratt Commissioners Recycling Committee Recycling in Cohasset continues successfully.Paper,corrugated glass,magazines, clothing,cans,steel,plastic and retumables all are recycled to local vendors for further processing. Construction of a building to house our new baler was completed this past year.The baling of corrugated and plastic milk mugs has turned an expensive process into one of actual income to the Town. The committee has continued to approach recycUng from an educational rather than enforcement standpoint.Annual school day,when four classes of Cohasset students visit the RTF and review the various methods of recycling,is effectively coordinated with members of the Recycling Committee.Handouts updating recycling are passed out peri- odically.Monitors are encouraging proper recycling. The Committee is continuously researching markets for new vendors and reviewing possible new items to recycle. The Recycling Committee thanks all residents who support the recycling efforts. RecycUng transfer facility employees have been helpful in the Committee's efforts. Respectfully submitted, Arthur L.Lehr,Jr. Merle S.Brown John F.Hubbard —123 Public Safety Animal Control Department In 1993 the Animal Control Department traded in the 1987 LTD that was being used for animal control and received a 1991 LTD from the Police Department for use in ani- mal control.During the spring,Cohasset entered into an agreement with the Town of Scituate,and now boards all stray dogs at Scituate's new animal shelter on the Driftway. Since entering into the agreement with Scituate,many dogs have been impounded and boarded at the Scituate facility. With the rabies epidemic so close,I have worked with the Board of Health to estab- lish policies and procedures on how to deal with rabid animals.A great deal of time was put into licensing dogs,and making sure that all dogs and cats are vaccinated against rabies.There were over 750 dogs licensed in Cohasset in 1993. Many calls were received regarding wildlife problems and questions.Most of the questions were relating to the trapping of wild animals in so-called "Have A Heart"traps. These traps are available in most hardware stores,and you can purchase these traps. However,it is illegal to trap wildlife without a permit issued by the State Division of Fisheries and Wildlife.Don't get caught using a trap without a permit;it carries a hefty fine. As always,if you have any questions regarding animals or animal laws,please con- tact my office and I would be more than happy to try to help you.Remember,license your dog on time and vaccinate your pet against rabies.It is just a matter of time until we see an outbreak of rabies in Cohasset. Respectfully submitted, William P.Quigley Animal Control Officer Emergency Management Although the nation was plagued with several various emergencies during 1993, Cohasset remained relatively quiet.Only one "state of emergency"was declared in Cohasset during the year.This was a coastal storm that placed us on full alert.There was some minor coastal flooding,but no evacuation was necessary. Electrical outages from falUng tree limbs were handled by Eastern Edison. The Town engaged in a "storm exercise"with Eastern Edison Company in Novem- ber to test the effectiveness of their Emergency Storm Program. Cohasset can be proud of its employees for their dedication to duty at trying times. Respectfully submitted, Arthur L.Lehr,Jr. Emergency Manager —124 Fire Department I hereby submit the Annual Report of the Cohasset Fire Department for the year end- ing December 31,1993.

To all of the Officers and Firefighters of the Department for their dedication and per- formance of duties,my sincere thanks and appreciation. Respectfully submitted, Roger W.Lincoln Chief of the Fire Department Harbor Master 1993 was a successful boating season with no fataUties.The Harbor Master's Department assisted twenty-eight disabled boaters. Since taking over for Mr.Gadow,I have come to meet a lot of interesting people in and around the Harbor.I knew Mr.Gadow both as a friend and as a fellow Harbor Mas- ter,and he will be missed.I hope to make the transition a smooth one,but everyone should expect some changes. The winter of 1993 was not kind to us as continuous cold weather and storms with high winds and snow kept our commercial fleet moored in ice some four to five inches thick.A thank you goes out to all our mooring residents for their patience during the state dredging project inside the Harbor. Thanks go to Peter Laugelle and the Tree and Park Department for their assistance around the various wharf areas in keeping them neat and clean for the amount of traffic in and out of our small Harbor both by vehicle and vessel.Thanks go,also,to the patience of the Police Department while running numerous registration numbers for user fee bills. Special thanks go to my assistant Bob Baggs for his extra time and help in making me aware and answering my hundreds of questions in the day-to-day routine of the Har- bor.A thank you to my other assistants Cliff Dickson,Dave Marks,Tom Wigmore and Howard Hunt for representing this office in a professional manner and making boating in this area safe,educational and fun.

Although there were more traffic accidents in 1993,there were no serious injuries.I am proud to note that Cohasset has not had a fatal accident since 1986. Some of the plans I have for the new year include stepping up radar patrols and the addressing of parking and safety issues.We also look forward to our new communica- tions system,hopefully being augmented by E-91 1.In 1994 the Town will be involved in negotiating a new contract with the Cohasset Patrolmen's Union which will include sum- mer officers. Respectfully submitted, Brian W.Noonan,Chief of Police Wire Department Fire and Traffic Signals In 1993 one new master box was added to the fire alarm system.Replacement of one thousand feet of alarm wire was installed.Alarm boxes were tested for proper opera- tion and painting was again started.Traffic lights were kept in good working order and new flashing units were installed in all lights. 128 — Wire Inspections All electrical work performed by contractors was inspected by the department and fees turned into the Town Treasurer. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS AND REPAIRS TO TOWN BUILDINGS Repairs and new work to Town-owned buildings and properties was done by the Wire Department. I wish to thank all departments for their help during this past year. Respectfully submitted, Stephen F.Wigmore Superintendent of Wires Public Works Cemetery Study Committee During the year it became apparent that we could not work out an acceptable access with the abutters for the Pleasant Street cemetery.The committee decided to find an alternative site for a new cemetery.At the 1994 Annual Town Meeting,we plan to pre- sent plans for a new cemetery on a portion of the former school facility's land off 3 A. Our completed plans for Pleasant Street remain on file. Respectfully submitted, Glenn A.Pratt,Chairman Peter G.Laugelle (ex officio) Mary A.Hartwell Jane M.Hamilton Nancy C.Snowdale Gerard L.Deveney Government Island Study Committee Government Island,formerly known as Doane's Island,is probably the most historic 7.37 acres of Cohasset's land area.It is used mainly by the fishermen of Cohasset for landing their catch and maintaining their boats;these activities go on year round.Other activities include recreational boaters,the Sailing Club,visitors who enjoy the atmo- sphere and history of the Town from this perspective,and Townspeople out for plain every-day relaxation. The Committee,which consists of five members (volunteers)plus the Harbor Mas- ter,make suggestions and advise the Selectmen with recommendations pertaining to the Island's maintenance and improvements.The Selectmen will authorize expenditures,if they feel they are advisable,and in some cases these requests for money are brought before Town Meeting. 129 During 1993 three meetings were held to discuss: 1 . General conditions of the Island 2.Status of the Minot's Light replica project. 3.Discussion of the Historic boathouse presently located on the Hagerty property (now Town owned). 4.Other business. The Committee firmly believes that Government Island is one of Cohasset's greatest assets ~historically,commercially and recreationally.We want it to be walked,studied, looked at,appreciated and loved by Townspeople and visitors alike. Respectfully submitted, Hamilton T.Tewksbury,Chairman Richard P.Barrow J.Russell Bonetti Robert M.Davenport Noel A.Ripley Shawn E.Kelly,Harbor Master Harbor Committee The Harbor Committee,during 1993,continued to investigate and make recommen- dations to increase safe utilization of the Harbor and to provide for fair and effective administration.The highUghts for the past year were: 1.Harbor Dredging:After a long delay,we were fortunate to have had some dredging done in the Harbor,thanks to the efforts of the late Phihp G.Murray,who got the needed funds allocated by the State,and the perseverance of Representative Mary Jeanette Murray.The dredging was a token of what we now need,but was beneficial nonetheless.Approximately 8,000 cubic yards of fill and 650 cubic yards of rock were removed,which allows for safer navigation in the Harbor. 2.Hagerty Property Acquisition:The Harbor Committee unanimously endorsed and helped to promote the Town's purchase of former Cohasset Colonials property on Parker Avenue to ultimately benefit the waterfront of our Harbor.A representative of our Committee currently is serving on the Hagerty Property Acquisition Committee,which will be recommending the use(s)of this property by the Town. 3.Towing and Storage of Illegally Moored Boats:The Harbor Master has been unable to remove illegally moored boats due to the lack of resources and has had to depend on obtaining a court order,whenever a boat is illegally moored in the Harbor,to try to have the owner remove the illegally moored boat.Many times the court orders have been ignored and it has taken an inordinate effort by the Harbor Master to initiate legal steps to have the illegally moored boats removed from the Harbor.We were successful in arranging for two local companies to take the full responsibility to remove these illegally moored boats from the Harbor at the direction of the Harbor Master and to put them into safe storage at the expense of the owners and without any liability to the Town. —130 — 4.New Harbor Master Appointed:We were sorry,as were many others in Town, to have Irving Gadow resign as Harbor Master in June.Shawn Kelly was appointed in August as Harbor Master and has settled in easily to take over from Irv.Shown was pre- viously an Assistant Harbor Master in Scituate,and like Irving,was formerly with the U. S.Coast Guard.We are fortunate to have Shawn on board.Do not hesitate to introduce yourself and add your welcome to him. 5.Storm Warning Precautions Distributed:The Harbor Committee has written a paper with detailed precaution instructions for boat owners to follow whenever a major storm threatens.The paper is being distributed to all mooring holders with their bills.If you would like a copy of this paper,please see the Harbor Master. Respectfully submitted, John Pfaffmann,Chairman (Yacht Club) John F.Bertolami,Vice Chairman (Independent) Peter J.Wood,Secretary (Citizen-at-Large) Domenic M.Baccari (Sailing Club) Lorren S.Gibbons (Commercial Fisherman) Shelanne S.Durkin (Recreation Commission) Scott A.T.Herzog (Commercial Fisherman) Gail Parks (Citizen-at-Large) Shawn E.Kelly (ex officio).Harbor Master Highway Department The cleanup after the Blizzard of '92 kept us busy through most of January and dur- ing the remainder of the winter season we were out sanding and plowing twenty-eight times.I am proud of the job that our men here at the Highway Department do keeping our roads safe for travel.My thanks also to the hired contractors who work for the Town of Cohasset. When good weather arrived we began our road sweeping program and swept and cleaned every street of sand build-up and general debris.During the following months the sweeper was out frequently,keeping the streets clean. During the spring months we replaced 900 feet of fence on Border Street,400 feet of fence on Atlantic Avenue and 100 feet of fence on Doane Street.We will be continuing to replace fences around the Town when time allows. We also installed the new play center equipment at Beechwood Park. While the weather remained good we worked on the repair and/or replacement of catch basins and rebuilt six more.One hundred feet of connecting pipe was installed also. The Highway Department was also active in road resurfacing in 1993.With money from slate grants we resurfaced sections of King,Sohier and South Main Streets.The Highway Department also reconstructed and resurfaced Doane Street after the completion of the new Doane Street culvert.I was very pleased to see this project finally become a reality.Using 280 tons of asphalt,various roads were grader patched.We were also able to resurface various sidewalks around Town. 131 All through the year we repaired and replaced signs where needed. Finally,the year ended the same way it began,with many inches of snow on the ground. I would like to extend special thanks to my men and to the men from the Tree and Park,Wire,and Water Departments for their cooperation. Respectfully submitted, Harold W.Litchfield Highway Surveyor Public Works Garage Study Committee The Public Works Garage Study Committee was formed to study the requirements of and potential sites for a centralized public works facility.Specific tasks to be accom- plished include the following Review the data and conclusions of the Town Garage Study Committee; Review the data and conclusions of the Public Works Study Committee; Determine the space needs for equipment and personnel of the various public works functions and operations,including school department ana refueling depot; Survey the Town for potential sites;and Review zoning,wetlands and locational issues of each site. During 1993 the Committee selected the following three sites for further consideration: Assessors Plan 18.Location of the Highway Department Garage behind the Red Lion Inn.This includes 45,785 square feet plus a portion of the municipal parking lot (Plans 27 and 18).These plots back up to the old railroad right of way. •Assessors Plan 15.The gravel pit land opposite the westerly end of Red Gate Lane and backing up to the Little League Field (part of 8.85 acres). Assessors Plan 5.The Transfer Station on Cedar Street (part of 19.13 acres). As a result of a series of discussions with other Town boards and committees,the Transfer Station was eliminated from further consideration due to safety concerns related to the dangerous intersection of Cedar Street and North Main Street.The location of the existing Highway Department Garage was eliminated from ftirther consideration because it was felt that it would be an inappropriate land use for a downtown commercial area. Preliminary discussions with the Conservation Commission indicated that under certain conditions,locating the garage in the gravel pit area would be acceptable to the Commis- sion.Therefore,this location was selected for further analysis. At the 1993 Annual Town Meeting an appropriation of $20,000 for architectural and engineering services for a pubhc works garage was approved.In May of 193 the gravel pit site passed water table and perc tests.In the fall the entire area was surveyed by the M.n Norfolk County Engineers and the locations of wetlands areas and wells were plotted on a topographic map.An architect has been engaged to develop a preliminary conceptual design and cost estimates for the new garage.In 1994,we plan to submit a warrant article for the Annual Town Meeting asking the Town to approve funding for the design and construction of a new public works garage facility. Respectfully submitted, Terry J.Atherton John J.Riley Bruce A.Edmonds Peter L.Goedecke Austin L.Aheam,Jr. Sewer Commission The Town's Waste Water Treatment Facility ("WWTF")continued to operate well in 1993 under the Town's contract with Professional Services Group,Inc.("PSG").The Commission went out to bid for a new contract in September,and this was won by PSG. The Commissioners are continuing their efforts to develop a satisfactory expansion plan for the Town's WWTF together with an expanded service area.To this end,the Commissioners are working with the Department of Environmental Protection and the Division of Marine Fisheries to identify the standards,tests and analyses necessary to demonstrate that the proposed expansion will satisfy State and Federal requirements. Respectfully submitted, Edward M.Guild,Chairman Henry A.Rattenbury R.Gary Vanderweil Sewer Commissioners Tree,Park and Cemetery Department The Department has a capital project every year.This year we did drainage work on the outfield at Beechwood Ball Park. It was a busy spring for repairing parks and ball fields and mowing.A dry summer and fall caused a lot of damage to trees,parks and ball fields.This required a lot of work in late fall planting grass and caused considerable damage to small trees and new trees. The Department trimmed and cut trees that needed attention. The Department also concentrated on clearing brush from sidewalks and edges of roads. I would like to thank all department heads for their cooperation and help during the year. Respectfully submitted, Peter G.Laugelle,Superintendent 133 Water Department Total production from the treatment facility for the year ending December 31,1993 was 227,270,900 gallons of drinking water.This is an increase over the previous year and is primarily due to an extended heat wave during the summer months.The treatment facility experienced some major equipment failures over the year and anticipates fiiture breakdown due to the advancing age of the purification equipment. The department has made extensive modifications to its administrative procedures and accounting practices over the preceding twelve months.This has resulted in two computer conversions with the associated delays and confusion.An ongoing program to install outside metering equipment on dwellings with access problems is starting to meet with some success,and will ehminate some estimated bills of long standing. The department has met and surpassed al requirements mandated by both state and federal agencies,along with the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act,as amended. Respectfully submitted, Ronald H.Goodwin William J.Montuori James R.Sheerin Commissioners —134 — Human Services Council On Aging The Cohasset Council on Aging,established in 1968 by Town Meeting,celebrated its 25th year in 1993.The original purpose of the Council was and continues to be to: 1.Identify the needs and concerns of Cohasset's elderly and retired persons and those approaching retirement age; 2.Design,promote,coordinate and implement services and programs to meet those needs and concerns;and 3.Inform the community and enlist support and participation of all citizens in this effort. The number of people age sixty plus in Cohasset in 1993 was 1,452,with 19%over the age of 80.This is predicted to be the fastest growing segment of the senior population in the next ten years. The Council on Aging is directed by a volunteer board.The Selectmen appoint nine members,each for a three-year term.The board is responsible for determining the poli- cies of the Council on Aging in response to the expressed needs of elders in the town through annual surveys,and a careful analysis of local needs,as well as local and national standards of health care,recreation,education and service needs. The Cohasset Senior Center is located in the Community Center.The board should feel a great sense of accomplishment with the completion of Phase 1 of the expansion project and the rent-free agreement as a result of their hard-working efforts. The professional Council on Aging staff oversees services and programs.The staff provides information,referrals,and assistance to elders and their famihes.After major cutbacks in the late eighties and early nineties due to Town budget reductions,the Coun- cil is pleased to have a restored budget for FY93.The Center is open Monday-Fridays, 8:30 am -4:30 pm and many special programs are offered on weekends.In July we extended the lunch program to two days a week and the seniors have enjoyed the varied menu and programs since the program was moved into the beautiful new room of the Senior Center.We have served over 1,800 meals to 120 different persons in conjunction with South Shore Elder Services.Thanks go to 74 volunteers who assist Lindsay J.Guild in making this weekly program such a success.Volunteers provide transportation to med- ical appointments,shopping trips,day trips,and the Senior Center to 125 different older persons.We look forward to using the new Senior 16-B-2 Van,and to date seven people have signed up to be driving for the new van that will help provide transportation for the disabled living in Cohasset.This van was covered in part by a grant from South Shore Elder Services and it will permit us to enter into a joint venture with the town of Hing- ham.Both towns will share the cost of operating this vehicle. Other achievements in 1993 included: 1 . $12,500 Grant for "Map-5'Tor Medical Rides from South Shore Elder Services. 2.Share Program trained and placed nineteen certified councilors.The total number of elders served in FY93 was 382.The documented financial benefit to clients served by the program is $22,405. 3.Outreach teas were held over the past year The purpose was to introduce "Newcomers"to the COA,telling them about our programs and having them meet staff"and board members. 135 4.Through a grant from the Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA),the Cohasset COA was awarded funds for developing our computer system to fill the needs of the growing workload of the director's office,the Shine Program and the Outreach Pro- jects. 5.An Entertainment Center has been built and installed in the meeting room of the Center.This unit was built at the South Shore Vocational School,where our former board member,David Chittim,served on the board. At the end of the 1993 Fiscal Year,our records indicated 637 persons were served at the Center in weekly classes and special programs.The Council on Aging offers a full range of services for Cohasset seniors.This is largely due to the hard work and effort of multiple volunteers who number over 150,and have provided close to $100,000 worth of service throughout this past year. The growing percentage (20%)of older senior citizens in town,in particular those who are over 80,and the increasing number of middle aged people who have responsibil- ity for caring for aging parents,guided the reinstatement of the Care Givers'Support Group this year.We thank the Hingham VNA,Norwell VNA,and the five local COA's for their continued support in helping make the support group a successful effort. We at the Cohasset Council on Aging are proud of our accomplishments this past year,and we look to the coming changes in the world of health and long-term care with renewed purpose.We pledge to do our best to take up the challenges that lie ahead,and continue to advocate for and to serve the elders here in Cohasset. Our thanks go to our staff,board members,Town employees and the volunteers who joined us in making this past year the great success that it was,and to our financial sup- porters,particularly The Friends of the Cohasset COA,who have so generously sup- ported our expansion program. Finally,we wish to thank Glenn Pratt,the Community Center board and their won- derful staff who supported and assisted us throughout this past year.

Respectfully submitted, Donald J.Evans,Chairman Marian C.Atkinson David Buick James M.Sandell Karen L.Kirkendall Gail Parks Elizabeth M.Bates Mary Jane Larson Mary C.Hartshome Cohasset Housing Authority Renovation and replacement work continue at the complex through the state EOCD Modernization Bureau.A new heating system,as well as a new roof,were installed at 72 Elm Street.Smoke detectors were replaced and emergency lights were installed at Har- borview.In October a survey of the courtyards at Harborview was made by the Norfolk County Engineers.The ultimate reconfiguration of the courtyards is to begin in the spring of 1994.In this way the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)will be addressed with particular attention to the four wheelchair-accessible apartments. The Harborview Capita Improvement Plan,initiated in 1990,was again reviewed by EOCD.The C.I.P.,linked to the Housing Bond Bill,is before the Legislature for con- sideration this year. Director Barbara Clain took advantage of an early retirement incentive program and retired in July.Subsequently,the Board hired her back to work through the transition period. The tenants'organization disbanded in April,with the possibility of reforming in 1994. A two-year audit of the federal Section 8 Program was completed in May. The Authority wishes to thank the Highway,Fire,and Police Departments,Social Service League,Visiting Nurses,Council on Aging,Homemakers,and all the agencies that contribute to the health and well being of the residents of Harborview.Barbara Clain wishes to lake this opportunity to express her appreciation to all of the board members of all of the boards with whom she has worked over the past fourteen years.

Planning for the next Drug Free Weekend is well underway,and promises to be the biggest and best ever.Response from the community is very positive,and the Drug Free Weekend Committee is enthusiastically working to promote this event. The highlight of the year came when the Governor's Alliance Against Drugs and the Drug Enforcement Administration named the Cohasset Drug and Alcohol Committee recipients of the 1993 Drug Fighter of the Year Award.The committee was the only com- munity organization in Massachusetts to be so honored.Although the committee is still very young,we have been working hard to make a difference in our community.This award was the positive affirmation that what we are doing is being noticed and is making a difference. The committee accepted with regret the resignations of two of our long-term mem- bers.We thank them for their dedication and support and welcome several new members to the committee.

A wheelchair accessible van was purchased from the South Shore Elder Services providing a cost-effective way to furnish transportation for all disabled residents of Cohasset.The operation of the van will be a joint effort between the Councils on Aging and the Handicapped Commissions of Hingham and Cohasset.Eighty percent of the cost is federally funded,while the remaining twenty percent will be shared with Hingham on a pro-rated basis.Cohasset will operate the van two days a week and Hingham will operate the van three days a week.Driver training offered by the South Shore Elder Services is free of charge. The Handicapped Commission has filed for estabhshment of a non-profit group to be known as "Friends of the Cohasset Commission on the Disabled."This group will assist with fundraising and scheduling of the van. The Commission has been involved in advising many groups on handicapped access to buildings and parking spaces.

Selectmen and library trustees jointly selected Patience G.Towle,former president of the Friends of the Cohasset Library,to fill the remaining year of her term. At the start of 1993,Cohasset's pubhc library,the Paul Pratt Memorial Library,had its foot into the 21st century as it went "on line"in the Old Colony Library Network (more on this below).As 1993 began,the trustees beheved that,after several years of pre- occupation with getting "on line"with the OCLN network,it was time to evaluate seri- ously every other aspect of our public library operation,with a view to assessing the library's current condition.Such an evaluation would lay the groundwork for setting pri- orities and guiding budgets. Trustees'committees.Five subcommittees of the Board of Trustees were appointed in april to consider and report to the full board regarding building maintenance,book- shelves,cooperation with the high school hbrary,grounds maintenance,and development of the endowment.The work of these committees is ongoing,but has already identified projects and programs which will improve hbrary operations. Building maintenance.An active trustee committee took inventory of the 90-year- old library building and,with the invaluable help of three Cohasset citizens experienced in building design and construction (Richard Grinnell,Richard Tousley,and Charles C. Ford)recommended priority projects to the Board of Trustees.As a result,the trustees will ask the 1994 Annual Town Meeting for funds to repair the building's roofs,gutters, and downspouts,as well as money for repointing and waterproofing the exterior bricks and windowsills. A Special Town Meeting in Fall 1993 authorized funds for materials for construction of a handicapped-access parking space in the library parking circle.Cohasset's Highway Department will actually construct the space in Spring 1994,which is a wonderful help! Old Colony Library Network (OCLN).With the departure of the old wooden card catalogue,all Cohasset library users are now really aware that the library's holdings are accessed only through one of the computer terminals in the hbrary.With this has come the realization that the terminals give the user information about the location of all mate- rial in the 24 OCLN member libraries relative to the subject,author,or title in which the user is interested.Daily deliveries among the member libraries provide ready availability of materials from other libraries.An electronic circulation system,new at the very end of 1992,has proved speedy and accurate,and most volunteers at the circulation desk have made a good transition to this very different system. Friends of the Cohasset Library,Inc.1993 marked the Friends'twenty-fifth year of valuable service to Cohasset's library I As if to mark the birthday,the Friends,led by Suzan Killilea,were awarded FIRST PRIZE by the Massachusetts Library Association for their continued efforts to promote the library within the community.As ever,the Friends helped provide more than 50 volunteers'time to the library,for an equivalent of more than $30,000 of staff work,and continued gifts of family passes to the New Eng- land Aquarium,Museum of Fine Arts,Museum of Science,and Children's Museum.In 140 1993,the Friends also sponsored a standing-room-only lecture on the market for old and rare books by Kenneth Gloss,and initiated on-going art exhibitions in the hbrary's Refer- ence Room.Cohasset's generous support of the Friends has produced significant rewards to its library. Surplus property.In addition to the Paul Pratt Memorial Library Fund mentioned above,two other funds were added to the endowment in 1993:one in memory of Freder- ick L.Good,Jr.,a former board member of the Friends,and the second in memory of Elizabeth F.Eaton,long-time trustee.Friends and and families contributed gifts in their memories to be added to the library's endowment,with the annual income from each fund to be used for the purchase of books.Bookplates in memory of the deceased will be placed in books purchased from the income of each fund. In 1993,additions to the library's endowment total were $15,402.Income from the endowment of $11,924 was used for book purchases in support of the budget for Fiscal Year 1993. Other gifts.In 1993,other monetary gifts to the Paul Pratt Memorial Library were made in memory of Deborah Anton,Max Maire,Ruth Pratt,Margaret Bates,Helen Gould Tower,and Robert O'Hayre.These gifts have been used to purchase books,with bookplates naming the deceased placed within.In addition,The Hingham Historical Commission gave Cohasset a copy of the new history of Hingham,and the South Shore Health and Educational Foundation and June Hubbard donated seven videotapes in the Health News series to the hbrary. 1993 has been another good year in the history of Cohasset's library,ably directed by Richard E.Hayes.Taxpayers,of course,provide basic support for the library.While the library budget represents less than 2%of Cohasset's budget,roughly three-quarters of Cohasset's citizens use the library.In addition,the library happily continues to receive the devoted efforts of staff,trustees,volunteers,and Friends,and to be the beneficiary of the financial generosity of many.All contribute to making it "a gem of a little library." Respectfully submitted, Sheila S.Evans,Chairman, Trustees of the Paul Pratt Memorial Library 141 Recreation Commission It gives us great pleasure to report to residents the activities of their Recreation Com- mission for the year 1993. During the year,6,975 individuals of all ages participated in a variety of structured programs,activities and events.While budget restrictions persist,continuing latitude of use of the Revolving Account Fund for 100%Self-Supporting Programs has been possi- ble due to the legislative modification of the RAF laws and guidelines.Currently,all but two programs are RAF sponsored,causing no impact upon taxpayers.The Recreation Commissioners adopted an Administrative Service Fee charge to all RAF programs dur- ing Fiscal Year 1992,and this financial system continues to reimburse taxpayers for the costs and time encumbrances of RAF Program operations.That is,the ASF revenues are deposited into the General Fund of the Town.Collectively,it is the revenue produced via Administrative Service fees,coupled with budget sponsored programs and beach parking sticker sales that reimburses taxpayers for the budget of their Recreation Commission. Only revenue on deposit in the General Fund can be considered recapitalization revenue. During Fiscal Year 1993,the Recreation Commission produced for the General Fund $63,031.23.Concurrently,during the same period,$81,184.10 was transacted via Revolving Account Funds for 100%Self-Supporting Programs via fees charged partici- pant for a variety of services.Another $9,000.00 was transacted via other self-supporting financial systems during F.Y.1993,manifesting a collective $156,415.33 of recreational services to residents from the $66,963.00 budget of the Commission.These figures do not include the thousands of man-hours that are annually donated by hundreds of resi- dents,in support of a variety of program operations. Municipal recreation is for the benefit of all residents and we continue to direct our efforts towards assurance of equal access and oppormnity to the entire community.To this end,a specific and calculated portion of revenue was not collected this year from res- idents who were temporarily unable to pay full fee charges for services.In many instances time was volunteered in heu of full fee payments,benefiting the department and participants of programs. Programming represents only one of the responsibilities,duties,and functions as pre- scribed and conferred upon the Recreation Commission by both Massachusetts General Laws and By-Laws of the Town.Continuing efforts are focused upon upgrading and ren- ovating existing outdoor recreational facilities under the jurisdiction of the Commission. It has been and continues to be through a blending of private and public resources and funding that most facihties have been upgraded and/or renovated.Numerous Town departments and officials have continued to support our efforts in this area,for which we remain enormously grateful. The seven member,elected board of Recreation Commissioners volunteer their ser- vices to the Town and department,meeting regularly (on the third Tuesday of each month),in order to discuss a wide spectrum of topics relative to the leisure needs and pur- suits of all residents.Further,the Commissioners establish policy and provide depart- mental direction,support and assistance.Each meeting is publicly posted at least one week prior to date and residents are cordially invited to attend and participate in any meeting.Essential to our proper function,and absolutely vital towards success,is the ability to remain responsive and dynamic to changing community needs.We consider your input and feedback our most important source of guidance. —142 — The Recreation Commission wishes to acknowledge gratitude to the many individu- als,civic and business organizations,school and sports groups,Town boards,committees and departments who have lent their support and assistance in our efforts to best serve the recreational and leisure needs of residents of all ages.While too numerous to mention, none are forgotten and all are sincerely appreciated and thanked.

Other activities this year included:Our Annual Health Fair in May,a mammography screening in June,two Ru Clinics in October,participation in the Town's Drug Free Weekend,taking part in the newly formed South Shore Public Health Nurses'Associa- tion,and Hep B Immunization CHnics for Police and Fire Departments.Community edu- cation programs included:an Eating Disorders panel discussion at Cohasset High School;Women's Health Issues with Dr.Alice Rothchild,and a follow-up Eating Disor- ders program for parents and teachers. This year,for the first time,the Board of Health made pneumonia vaccine available to our over-65 residents free of charge.More than sixty seniors have been vaccinated to date. We continue to cooperate with the Council on Aging,the Cohasset Schools,and area physicians to provide and promote optimum health care for our community.We thank all volunteers and community groups who have helped us in the past year. 143 Activity Keep Well Clinics Flu Immunizations Cholesterol Screening Mobile Mammography Van Health Fair Lazy Eye Screening Lead Screening Tuberculin Testing Hypertension Screening Communicable Disease Follow-up Home Nursing Visits Office Nursing Visits Attendance 343 810 107 26 125+ -on going - -on going - 99 788 10 ^^^^total 1182 nursing visits837^ Respectfully submitted, Judith E.Fitzsimmons R.N. Public Health Nurse Education School Committee and Superintendent of Schools We are pleased to submit the 1993 Annual Report for the Cohasset Public Schools. This was an historic year for education in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.On June 18,1993 Governor Weld signed into law Chapter 71,the Education Act of 1993. The intent of the Act is to systemically reform education in our state.The Reform Act addresses four major areas.They are: 1.Students and Education Programs 2.Educational Personnel 3.Local and State Governance 4.Finance Highlights of the Act include that beginning with the class of 1999 any student who does not pass a competency test will not be granted a high school diploma.Individual schools and school districts will be evaluated on an annual basis.Curriculum frame- works will be established in mathematics,science and technology,history and social sci- ence,English,foreign languages and the Arts.Student performance on a broad range of competencies will be assessed in grades 4,8 and 10. Principals now have the authority to expel any student who is found on school premises or at a school sponsored event in possession of a dangerous weapon or a con- trolled substance.Smoking is prohibited by anyone at any time within school buildings, at other school facilities or on school buses. Teachers will no longer be granted lifetime certification.All educational personnel will be required to renew their certification every five years.Renewal will require docu- 144 mentation of ongoing professional development.Tenure has been abolished and replaced with the professional teacher status.Professional teacher status is achieved after three consecutive years of successful employment. The role of the School Committee has been reaffirmed as a policy making board. They now appoint only the Superintendent of Schools and the Assistant Superintendent of Schools.Control of the budget process,however,still remains under their jurisdiction. The responsibility for hiring and terminating all personnel within a school building is the responsibility of the Principal. Within each school a School Council must be formed.The Council will be com- posed of: 1.School Principal 2.Parents elected by other parents 3.Teachers elected by other teachers 4.Other community members who are not parents of children in the school 5.Students at the secondary level The School Council will assist the principal in setting goals for the school.It will also identify educational needs,review the budget and prepare a school improvement plan. The purpose of the financial section of the Education Reform Act is to distribute more equitably education funds.It attempts to ensure that all students,no matter where they reside,will receive an adequate education. While the Education Reform Act has the promise for promoting meaningful educa- tional change,we must continue to move forward at the local level. For the present year we have established the following goals: A.Implement new teacher evaluation system 1 . Provide training for all evaluators 2.Conduct orientation to evaluation instrument for all new staff members 3 . Provide opportunity for training in evaluation methodology for staff members B.Evaluate Inservice structure 1.Administer evaluation instrument at the conclusion of each inservice program 2.Review evaluation data collected 3.Meet with Inservice Committee to evaluate effectiveness of inservice programs 4.Prepare report for School Committee Curriculum A.Implement recommendation of Science Curriculum Review 1.Meet with Elementary Science Committee members to study the science review recommendations and identify aspects that may be addressed for implementation 2.Integrate recommendations into the school improvement plan developed by each school council 3.Emphasize the coordination of the science and math program at the Junior/Senior High School B.Implement the Cohasset Technology Plan 1 . Coordinate the construction and development of a technology computer lab at the Osgood School 2.Introduce new technologies into the Hbrary program3.Design a renovated computer lab at the Deer Hill School 145 C.Conduct study of Deer Hill Grade 5-6 Team Teaching Program 1 . Organize study committee consisting of school administrator,teachers and parents 2.Review present programs 3.Made recommendation,if appropriate,for program modification Alternative Financial Resources A.Work with Local Education Foundation to identify corporate funding and/or othei private sources of financial support for school programs 1.Superintendent will continue to participate as an ex officio member of the Board of Directors of the Cohasset Local Education Foundation B .

In June we were informed by School Match,the nation's largest school selectior consulting firm,that the Cohasset Schools had been chosen as a recipient of the 1993 "What Parents Want"award.Only 9 percent of the nation's public schools qualified tc receive this award. We would like to thank all who support our school system.With the active involve- ment of the community we will continue to strive for excellence in our schools. Respectfully submitted, COHASSET SCHOOL COMMITTEE Nancy L.Sandell,Chairman Ralph D.Kidder,Vice Chairman Kenneth Wilcox,Secretary Barbara W.Bliss J.Russell Reidy Stephen E.Hart Superintendent of Schools South Shore Regional Vo-tech High School And finally,it's a reality! The long-awaited facility addition and improvements to the South Shore Regional Vocational Technical High School has ushered in an era of positive enrolhnent growth and the promise of even more responsive educational and community service to its district 146 towns.Now in the thirty-first year of serving southeastern Massachusetts,South Shore con- tinues to position itself as a leader in vocational education and as a district resource,prepar- ing students and area citizens for the fast paced and ever changing challenges of a diverse and highly technical present and future workplace.In areas like construction,manufactur- ing,automotive technology,and medical and services industries,the need to maintain cur- rent,state-of-the-art and flexible education and training has never been greater.As our soci- ety and work markets continue to experience change,our yoimg people must be prepared to hit the road running. On January 3,1994,the formal completion of the building project begun in December, 1992,was symbolized by the opening of classrooms and shops for student use.While fmish work continues to be done,students enrolled in Cosmetology,Culinary Arts,Drafting,Elec- tronics,Electrical,Graphic Arts and Auto Body programs experienced the opportunity of attendance in a brand new state-of-the-art facility.The opening of the new hair salon, restaurant and lecture hall facilities provides not only for student learning opportimities,but public participation and enjoyment in environments of which the district communities can be deservedly proud. While serving primarily area secondary school students.South Shore continues to be truly a community school.Continuing Education and Business Partnership programs serve in excess of 300 adult learners,many acquiring new skills,enhancing existing ones,or sim- ply exploring an interest or avocation.In any event,the message delivered to all is the importance of learning being a life-long and critical component in our lives. In November,South Shore welcomed twenty-three fellow vocational educators repre- senting the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.This three-day evaluative visit culminated a year of intensive staff and program self-examination,the first of this type in ten years.While a formal report is not due until Spring,1994,the feedback provided will assist in the ongoing process of curriculum review and development,programmatic direc- tion and overall services to students. A critically important component to the comprehensive nature of educating the young people of the South Shore District includes giving back to the community and involving stu- dents and staff in community service activities.To this end.South Shore Vo-Tech continues to perform a multitude of work related and community directed roles.Some are truly "open to the public"and are of service to citizens of the entire area.Some have become industry and business specific,as has been seen in business partnerships and in South Shore staff serving as consulting advisors and trainers to companies,local agencies,or employment groups.Still others are often community specific.A large contingent of Cohasset senior citizens joined with their local towns'mates at a wonderful holiday dinner in December,sponsored by South Shore student organizations and Student Council.Vo-Tech 's carpentry students constructed a beautiful entertainment center in memory of former district school committee member David Chittim,which is housed at the Council on Aging Center in town.Additional examples of extensive community/school responsiveness will be in evidence for years to come,seen in the work done on the historically significant "Lightkeeper's House"in the Harbor,as well as through the assistance rendered by the electrical instructors and students in recent area Habitat for Humanity construction.Partnerships,linkages and assisting in a variety of technical and service ventures are indicative of the kinds of cooperative relationships with district towns toward which South Shore continues to strive. Academically,as well as technically,South Shore is in constant pursuit of excellence. In addition to NEASC recommendations upcoming for consideration and implementation, staff at South Shore strive to attain the best possible curricular relevance and integration of learning for their students. Added focus to "Tech Prep"articulation curricula developed with area college repre- sentatives is gaining more and more impetus and broadened scope.Life-long learning and the need to prepare for constant change in the workplace are obvious goals.Another that 147 has been gathering momentum locally,as well as on the state and national fronts,has been the recognition that the all important school to work and career transition is of critical sig- nificance,not only to each individual,but to our economy as well.South Shore stands ready and willing to help our students and communities prepare and keep current with the work- place and economic demands important to all of our futures. Currently there are 460 students enrolled in the school,and as of October 1,1993,two students from our town are enrolled in one or more of the fourteen programs currently offered at the school. Superintendent James Hager and his administration,the staff and students,School Committee and advisors to the South Shore Regional School District welcome the chal- lenges facing our area towns,and pledge their efforts toward providing productive educa- tional opportimities at the school.South Shore has been proud to serve the community of Rockland and the region over past years.We appreciate your support and encouragement and look forward with eager enthusiasm to future success in delivering quality vocational technical programs to our children in a truly comprehensive educational environment.In doing so,citizens of Cohasset and the entire South Shore community are able to benefit. Respectfully submitted, Laurence J.Mitchell ^Cohasset Representative Regional School District Planning Committee Our Committee completed its financial assessment of regional school district options.This process involved examination of the key changes to facilities,personnel costs,operating expenses,and State Aid for regional school districts.Working with our counterparts in Hingham and Hull,and with the cooperation of the three towns'Superin- tendents and various town agencies,we have concluded that: *the operating economies and State Aid incentives for a regional district would be largely if not fully offset by the costs of new construction,transportation,and salary schedule reconciliation; *numerous opportunities for regional efficiencies exist and are being pursued aggressively by our three towns through the Superintendents'efforts.These include the South Shore Collaborative,the Lighthouse Project,and informal group purchasing efforts; *additional opportunities for cooperation with other towns may result from increasing contact among the various towns'School Committees,administra- tors,faculty,etc. Based on these findings,we have recommended to the Selectmen that our Committee be dissolved.
