TOWN OF AUBURN<br />

MASSACHUSETTS<br />

2009<br />

HISTORICAL NOTES<br />

The <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> is made up <strong>of</strong> land areas which were, in colonial times, outlying<br />

parts <strong>of</strong> Worcester, Leicester, Sutton and Oxford. These areas were incorporated as the town <strong>of</strong><br />

Ward on April 10, 1778. It was so named to honor Major <strong>General</strong> Artemas Ward, the<br />

commander <strong>of</strong> colonial forces in Cambridge until Washington arrived.<br />

Ward became a center for mail distribution in 1825, but because <strong>of</strong> a similarity in spelling<br />

and writing "Ward" and "Ware", difficulty in mail delivery resulted. A petition to the legislature<br />

to change the town name was granted in 1837 and the name <strong>Auburn</strong> was adopted. Population at<br />

that time was 649.<br />

The economic history <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> has been a combination <strong>of</strong> agriculture and industry. Its<br />

home industries flourished in the early 1800s. With the growth <strong>of</strong> Worcester's factory-based<br />

industries, <strong>Auburn</strong> was soon overshadowed. Its residents turned to Worcester for employment.<br />

Agriculture also declined, and in 1957 there were only four farms in contrast to 100 or more<br />

listed in 1857.<br />

In the last 45 years, <strong>Auburn</strong> has experienced rapid growth in industry and business<br />

development while the population has only gained a few thousand in number since the 1970’s.<br />

Improved roads have moved industry to the suburbs. <strong>Auburn</strong> has several industrial parks as well<br />

as other industrial areas and shopping areas. The easy access <strong>of</strong>f I 290, I 90, I 395, Routes 12<br />

and 20 make <strong>Auburn</strong> a popular destination for shopping, working and living.<br />

The first <strong>of</strong> Dr. Robert Goddard's liquid propelled rockets was fired on Pakachoag Hill in<br />

1926. It was the forerunner <strong>of</strong> today's space flights. Dr. Goddard is considered the father <strong>of</strong><br />

modern rocketry.

Report <strong>of</strong> the Finance Committee<br />

The <strong>Town</strong> Charter requires that the Finance Committee file a budget report and<br />

recommendations along with a capital expenditure program (CIP) to be distributed to all town<br />

meeting members prior the annual town meeting as provided by the by-laws.<br />

Based on the data available and conservative projections, the Finance Committee is<br />

recommending a calculated balance budget as required. Total revenues are $48,063,531.34 up


$191,460 or 0.40% over FY2009 <strong>of</strong> $47,872,071. Appropriations are $48,063,531.32 leaving an<br />

estimated excess <strong>of</strong> $0.02. This result is significant indeed when compared to where the budget<br />

stood at the December, 2008 kick<strong>of</strong>f meeting that showed a total budget deficit <strong>of</strong> 2.2 million<br />

dollars.<br />

All municipal collective bargaining groups agreed to a number <strong>of</strong> contractual concessions<br />

to avoid lay<strong>of</strong>fs – outstanding cooperation; there are no FY2010 pay increases for elected or<br />

bylaw employees; six open positions have not been funded; Prop 2-1/2 tax levy <strong>of</strong> $737,619,<br />

50% included; Department heads were asked to squeeze operating dollars. They all did an<br />

excellent job.<br />

The governor’s fiscal 2010 budget House 1 is all that is available at this time. House 2<br />

budget is in debate, Senate budget is in committee and may be out early in May. The House 1<br />

budget shows <strong>Auburn</strong>’s local aid to be $7,970.757 down ($454,321) from FY2009. Chapter 70<br />

level funded at $5,807,803; Unrestricted <strong>General</strong> Government Aid down ($608,503) – 28.5%;<br />

Police Career Incentive down ($32,104) – 18.9%; House 1 includes Meal/Room sales tax <strong>of</strong><br />

$242,180. Please keep in mind these numbers are a snap shot in time. It is unknown what these<br />

numbers will eventually work out to be.<br />

In these difficult times where there is pressure on everyone’s budget, the vote this<br />

appropriating body makes on every revenue dollar acknowledges the priorities <strong>of</strong> each operating<br />

element in minimizing the negative impact and to meet the <strong>Town</strong>s’ service obligations within<br />

this extremely difficult environment.<br />

Article 3 - Finance Committee recommends approval. The 2010 operating budget <strong>of</strong><br />

$46,222,742 is up $652,687 or 1.43% over FY2009. The larger budget increase amounts are<br />

Debt & Interest up $461,884 and Pension & Benefits up $292,484. <strong>Auburn</strong> School and Bay Path<br />

total $21,446,351, which is 46.4% <strong>of</strong> total operating budget, is down $79,280. <strong>Town</strong> Accountant<br />

will be providing a full detail report and the Finance Committee is prepared to answer your<br />

questions.<br />

Article 4 - Finance Committee is recommending a FY2010 CIP appropriation <strong>of</strong> $1,465,303<br />

down $59,943 or 3.93% from FY2009. Sewer capital <strong>of</strong> $79,687 to be funded thru Sewer Dept.<br />

retained earnings; $98,093 lease obligations funded by ambulance proceeds; $232,173 lease<br />

obligations funded thru tax levy appropriation and the remainder <strong>of</strong> $1,055,350 funded thru<br />

bonding.<br />

A second duty <strong>of</strong> the Finance Committee is to consider matters relating to the<br />

appropriation, the borrowing and the expenditure <strong>of</strong> money by the <strong>Town</strong> and make<br />

recommendations to the <strong>Town</strong>.<br />

This Annual <strong>Town</strong> Meeting Warrant has 27 articles. Article 1, 3 and 4 have been<br />

presented:<br />

Article 2 – Recommends approval. 5-0<br />

Article 5-11 – Recommends approval. 5-0<br />

All these are the standard operating items voted each fiscal year.<br />

Article 12 – Recommends approval. 6-0<br />

Existing economic recession makes it almost impossible to project reliable revenue assumptions<br />

for FY2010, FY2011 and possibly beyond. All major parts <strong>of</strong> the state’s revenue system are<br />

showing weaknesses that are expected to worsen. To appropriate monies from free cash to the<br />

Stabilization Fund is very necessary.<br />

Article 13 – Recommends approval. 5-1


To appropriate $160,000 from medical receipts within the general fund revenues to <strong>of</strong>fset<br />

contracted services for significantly disabled special needs students.<br />

Article 14 – Recommends not to approve. 5-0<br />

Governor’s proposed fiscal 2010 budget level funded Chapter 70 aid. Legislators say that’s the<br />

best scenario. Chapter 70 funds <strong>of</strong> $5,807,803 are included in Article 3. The request to<br />

appropriate an “any receipts in excess” is not defined by dollar amounts or purpose.<br />

Federal/State stimulus money will be earmarked with a two year window expiring FY2012 and<br />

will need careful two year planning. This body should vote Yes or No to appropriate only after<br />

grant stimulus funding is distributed.<br />

Article 15 – Recommends approval. 5-0<br />

Trust agreement, Section 3 states the interest earned by said fund be appropriated by majority<br />

vote at annual town meeting to <strong>of</strong>fset school department costs in support <strong>of</strong> community health<br />

and recreational activities in <strong>Auburn</strong> high school gym.<br />

Article 16-17-18 – Recommends approval. 5-0<br />

Article 19 – Recommends not to approve. 5-0<br />

Amount exceeds Sewer Dept. Retained Earnings. Action will require borrowing.<br />

Article 20-21-22 – Recommends approval. 5-0<br />

Article 23 – Recommends not to approve. 5-0<br />

Deweeding <strong>of</strong> Eddy and Pondville was contracted at $12,000 per year thru FY2009. Deweeding<br />

was not included in the Conservation budget for FY2010 due the economy status. Conservation<br />

budget approved as submitted. Deweeding is important but projected priorities out distant this<br />

citizens’ petition.<br />

Article 24-25 – Defer to petitioner.<br />

Article 26 – Recommends approval. 5-0<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> Historical Museum, a learning asset in preserving <strong>Auburn</strong>’s history.<br />

Article 27 – Recommends approval. 5-0<br />

If enacted, a bylaw would require developers to pay for their impact on local services.<br />

The fiscal challenge before the <strong>Town</strong> could not have been met without the cooperation<br />

and assistance <strong>of</strong> all town <strong>of</strong>ficials, town employees and appointed volunteers. Options were<br />

presented, quick action was taken and presently we are doing okay. The future is unclear but we<br />

can expect the road ahead will remain rough without real meaningful state government reform.<br />

I personally thank each Finance Committee member and all <strong>of</strong> you for continuing to<br />

make <strong>Auburn</strong> a place we can proudly call our home town.<br />

Planning Board Report<br />

Adam Burney, <strong>Town</strong> Planner<br />

Pursuant to the requirements <strong>of</strong> Massachusetts <strong>General</strong> Laws, Chapter 40A, Section 5, the<br />

Planning Board hereby provides the following recommendations to the May 7, 2009 Annual<br />

<strong>Town</strong> Meeting on Articles 24 & 25. Article 24 is a citizen petition that amends the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> Zoning Bylaws and the Official Zoning Map, while Article 25 amends only the Official<br />

Zoning Map. The Board held the required public hearings on 24 March and 28 April 2009.<br />

Sitting for the Board were David DeLollis, Phil Tully, Ronald Brooks, David Doherty, and Dan<br />

Carpenter.


Article 24: Recision <strong>of</strong> the Gateway Zoning District:<br />

To see if the <strong>Town</strong> will vote to rescind the Gateway District approved by vote <strong>of</strong> the [T]own<br />

[M]eeting on May 1, 2008 and further to vote to return the zoning classification <strong>of</strong> the Gateway<br />

District to Highway Business. The Gateway District is shown on a plan titled “<strong>Auburn</strong>,<br />

Massachusetts proposed Gateway District Map”; or act on anything relative thereto.<br />

The Board voted (4-1) to recommend adoption <strong>of</strong> this article.<br />

During the hearings on this article the Planning Board identified a scriveners error in the text <strong>of</strong><br />

the article. The petition refers to the returning <strong>of</strong> the zoning classification to Highway Business,<br />

however the previous zoning classification <strong>of</strong> the Gateway District was a combination <strong>of</strong><br />

Highway Business AND <strong>General</strong> Industry. This issue was brought to the attention <strong>of</strong> the<br />

petitioner who agreed that there was an error and the there was no opposition to the correction <strong>of</strong><br />

said error.<br />

Article 25: Alteration <strong>of</strong> the Zoning District Line:<br />

Existing Conditions:<br />

The northwest corner <strong>of</strong> Bryn Mawr Avenue and Leicester Street is zoned Residential C (RC).<br />

The delineation <strong>of</strong> the zoning district follows the centerline <strong>of</strong> Leicester Street to the crossing <strong>of</strong><br />

Dark Brook at which time the boundary <strong>of</strong> the RC zone follows the shore <strong>of</strong> Dark Brook<br />

Reservoir.<br />

Proposed Alterations:<br />

To realign the boundary <strong>of</strong> the RC district from the centerline <strong>of</strong> Leicester Street and Bryn Mawr<br />

Avenue to the shoreline <strong>of</strong> Dark Brook Reservoir (See Attachment A).<br />

The Board voted (4-1) to recommend adoption <strong>of</strong> this article.<br />

Article 2. I move that the <strong>Town</strong> Meeting vote to fix the salary and compensation <strong>of</strong> all<br />

elected <strong>Town</strong> Officers as presented on the “FY2010 Wage Scale for Elected Officials”.<br />

for the Selectmen, MIS, <strong>Town</strong> Clerk, Planning, <strong>Town</strong> Hall, Police, Fire, Engineering, Highway,<br />

Sewer, Cemetery, Council On Aging, Library, Parks and Schools as stated on pages 62 through<br />

67 inclusive, <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> FY2010 Budget and Annual <strong>Town</strong> Meeting Warrant, and<br />

further to approve an appropriation <strong>of</strong> $1,465,303.00 to fund the FY2010 Capital Improvement<br />

Program as specified on pages 61 through 67 under the column entitled “Finance Committee<br />

Report <strong>of</strong> the Finance Committee<br />

At the annual town meeting on May 7, 2009 it was reported the Cherry Sheet receipts were<br />

House 1 recommendations and were subject to change based on House/Senate conference<br />

committee recommendations. When the Mass. Dept. <strong>of</strong> Revenue FY2010 local aid estimates<br />

were made available, we would meet again and here we are<br />

Article 2. Recommends approval. This article amends Article 3 <strong>of</strong> May 7, 2009 Annual<br />

<strong>Town</strong> Meeting. Total operating budget <strong>of</strong> $46,222,742 is increased by $5,013 to $46,227,755.<br />

Full explanation will be detailed when this article is moved.<br />

Art 3 & 4. Recommends approval. To increase local revenue to help <strong>of</strong>fset increasing local<br />

service costs.<br />

Article 5. Recommends approval. Dec 2005 Consent Order mandated action be taken to<br />

manage peak water inflow. Failure to act would incur increased costs to <strong>Town</strong> users along with<br />

penalty fines. Reduced flow should reduce Upper Blackstone District’s assessment to <strong>Auburn</strong> by<br />

an estimated 18%, or about $126,000.<br />

Article 6. Recommends approval. The purchase <strong>of</strong> a Utility Trailer is the key item. Such a<br />

unit will allow the Parks Dept. to move mowing equipment from place to place safely and with<br />

no roadway wear and tear. Capital expenditure decreased $430.00.<br />

Article 7. Recommends defer to petitioner: Capital amount <strong>of</strong> $19,375 remains<br />

unchanged. The change is in the description.<br />

Article 8. Recommends approval. To appropriate $750 from the Expendable<br />

Trust/Cemetery Perpetual Care Account. The Trac Vac is an essential piece <strong>of</strong> maintenance<br />

equipment.<br />

Article 9. Recommends defer to petitioner: This body annually approves such a Parks Dept.<br />

revolving account. This article mentions town fields and the other mentions Memorial Park.<br />

Both call for general maintenance fields to be used by town residents.<br />

In summary, as a Community the residents <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> have spoken through this body and you<br />

have done an excellent job. <strong>Auburn</strong>’s residents and local businesses realize basic services are<br />

being squeezed and are expecting their elected and appointed leaders to make the necessary<br />

tough decisions. Status quo is not an option.

Report <strong>of</strong> the Finance Committee


Art 2-3-4.<br />

Minutes <strong>of</strong> the Land Bank Committee, dated October 2, 1997 – <strong>Town</strong> Engineer<br />

showed the delineated plan <strong>of</strong> the Pakachoag Meadows site. He had templates <strong>of</strong><br />

little league and soccer fields that showed how the fields could be placed. That<br />

was 12+ years ago. Action slowed.<br />

A Recreation Committee was appointed with their mission to identify,<br />

recommend and develop plans for recreational sites and facilities for all residents<br />

<strong>of</strong> the town. They went to work and we have before us the Pakachoag Meadows<br />

Recreational Facility.<br />

The issues needing resolution before this body tonight: site buildout costs,<br />

residential affects and response, maintenance and expense control.<br />

Article 2 - To authorize a borrowing <strong>of</strong> $4.3 million<br />

Article 3 - To transfer management and control<br />

Article 4 To establish a revolving account for revenue and expense<br />

Based on the data presented, the Finance Committee recommends approval<br />

5-0 <strong>of</strong> these articles. The land as open space is being abused by both humans and<br />

Mother Nature. Most importantly the <strong>Town</strong> needs a concentrated facility for the<br />

youth and town residents to enjoy outside activities. A full detailed explanation<br />

will be made and all questions will be answered for each article.<br />

Article 5.<br />

State Election 01/19/10. Polls required being open 7AM – 8PM.<br />

Recommends approval 5-0.<br />

Article 9.<br />

Article 10.<br />

Article 11.<br />

Stormwater Bylaw. Mandatory Compliance – Unfunded. Failure will incur civil<br />

penalties.<br />

Defer to Petitioner.<br />

To increase funding previously approved by $100,000. Revised cost estimates<br />

have increased.<br />

Recommends approval 4 – 1.<br />

To defer recording – betterments. Defer to Petitioner.


The current economic crisis have left cities and towns staggering and coupled<br />

with unmet promises, and continuing unfunded mandates forcing deeper budget<br />

and service cuts. There have been some indicators <strong>of</strong> bottoming, but recovery<br />

will be slow. We must continue to plan long term and carefully set our spending<br />

priorities. It is far too soon to believe that the worst is behind us. The Governor’s<br />

final approval <strong>of</strong> the 2010 budget is still in waiting and hopefully will close<br />

without any further cuts. The red ink crisis <strong>of</strong> FY2010 will no doubt run into<br />

FY2011 local aid receipts. Yet with everyone pulling together, the light at the end<br />

<strong>of</strong> the tunnel will enable <strong>Auburn</strong> to provide the excellent services expected.<br />

Article 2. I move that the <strong>Town</strong> Meeting vote to appropriate $4,300,000.00 for the design,<br />

construction and equipping <strong>of</strong> a recreational facility at Pakachoag Meadows on Pakachoag<br />

Street; that to meet this appropriation the Treasurer with the approval <strong>of</strong> the Board <strong>of</strong> Selectmen<br />

is authorized to borrow $4,300,000.00 under G.L. c.44, §7(25) or any other enabling authority;<br />

and that the Board <strong>of</strong> Selectmen is authorized to take any other action necessary to carry out the<br />

project. The amount <strong>of</strong> said borrowing shall be reduced by the value <strong>of</strong> any federal and state<br />

grants that the <strong>Town</strong> may receive for the design, construction and equipping <strong>of</strong> the recreational<br />

facility.<br />

By Joan E. Calverley<br />

Seconded by Michael Hammond, Sr.<br />

Vote on Article 2 unanimous in favor<br />

Dr. Martha Pappas talked about her and her husband Dr. Arthur Pappas’ growing up years in<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> and their return to <strong>Auburn</strong> to live in the family home in <strong>Auburn</strong>.<br />

Dr Arthur Pappas is a leader in the field <strong>of</strong> sports medicine at the University <strong>of</strong> Massachusetts.<br />

Considering the loss <strong>of</strong> playing fields at the site <strong>of</strong> the new high school and at the construction<br />

site <strong>of</strong> a warehouse building on Millbury St, they felt there was a need for a <strong>Town</strong> facility <strong>of</strong><br />

playing fields. Since returning to <strong>Auburn</strong> in 1995, they made a decision to give back to the<br />

<strong>Town</strong>. This donation is a way for them to help the town promote activities and sports.<br />

Karina Quinn <strong>of</strong> Lenard Engineering gave a presentation about the layout at the site. The plan<br />

includes 2 baseball fields, a s<strong>of</strong>tball field, a regulation soccer field, a smaller soccer practice<br />

field, a playground area, toilets, a concession stand, parking areas for about 175 vehicles and<br />

walking trails. The regulations size soccer field and one <strong>of</strong> the baseball fields will be artificial<br />

turf. There will be lighting and trees for screening along the perimeter abutting residential<br />

homes.<br />

Ed Kazanovicz presented the breakdown <strong>of</strong> the cost to the town and indicated that the first 4<br />

years would use the Pappas’ donation to <strong>of</strong>fset the borrowing costs. In the years that follow the<br />

plan is to use retiring debt payments to cover this cost so the net result on the tax rate is zero.<br />

Article 3. I move that the <strong>Town</strong> Meeting vote to transfer the care, custody, management<br />

and control <strong>of</strong> 24.7 acres <strong>of</strong> land (more or less), which is a portion <strong>of</strong> the land remaining from the


purchase by the <strong>Town</strong> in 1986 from Marjorie Cutting and Sylvia C. Post, and which is now<br />

known as Pakachoag Meadows on Pakachoag Street, in <strong>Auburn</strong>, to an oversight board to be<br />

Ellen C. Gaboury, CMC/CMMC, <strong>Town</strong> Clerk


Acting <strong>Town</strong> Manager<br />

The year 2009 began with financial woes that the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> never had to<br />

face or deal with. The <strong>Town</strong> Accountant and Acting <strong>Town</strong> Manager working with the<br />

Finance Committee prepared a high level budget presentation reflecting what would be<br />

required to close a 2 million dollar budget gap. All the town employees and unions<br />

rallied to help the town in this crisis. Employees agreed to a wage freeze, consolidation<br />

<strong>of</strong> health plans and an increase in co-payments allowing the town to save a considerable<br />

amount <strong>of</strong> money which helped produce a balanced budget.<br />

The election <strong>of</strong> May 21, 2009 voters supported charter amendments to include<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong>’s first <strong>Town</strong> Manager with some previously elected positions becoming<br />

appointed positions. These positions are Highway Surveyor, Treasurer, Planning Board,<br />

Sewer Department, Parks Commissioners and Board <strong>of</strong> Health.<br />

In July the Board hired William Waterman to fill the vacant position as MIS<br />

Director. Bill has made many changes already to the town’s computer system and he is<br />

looking into the future to bring more updated information to the <strong>Town</strong>. Bill is a great<br />

asset to the town.<br />

At the Special <strong>Town</strong> Meeting <strong>of</strong> August 27, 2009 it was voted to increase meals<br />

and room excise tax to increase revenue to the <strong>Town</strong>.<br />

The November 12, 2009 Special <strong>Town</strong> Meeting - a portion <strong>of</strong> Pakachoag<br />

Meadows was voted to be developed as recreational space and to rename this area Dr.<br />

Arthur and Dr. Martha Pappas Recreational Complex.<br />

We saw the passing <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong>’s great leaders and contributors as John D.<br />

Briggs died in October. The Board <strong>of</strong> Selectmen presented Dave with a proclamation for<br />

his many years <strong>of</strong> service to the <strong>Town</strong> before he died. “Dave” as everyone knew him will<br />

be sorely missed by all.<br />

At the end <strong>of</strong> this year the town saw the near completion <strong>of</strong> the Veteran’s<br />

Memorial Corridor. The Veteran’s Memorial Corridor is a beautiful road with a<br />

dedication to the veteran’s <strong>of</strong> all wars. It will be enjoyed by all the people <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong>.<br />

In December the town held a Special State Primary held on December 8, 2009 to<br />

decide which party candidates would run in the Special Election to be held in January<br />

2010 due to the death <strong>of</strong> Senator Edward Kennedy.<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> is very fortunate to have the <strong>Town</strong> Department <strong>of</strong>ficials, department<br />

heads and town employees that they have as they all work to benefit the town and the<br />

daily operations.<br />

In closing I would like to thank the Board <strong>of</strong> Selectmen for their direction, Ed<br />

Kazanovicz and all the employees <strong>of</strong> the town for their cooperation as the town faces<br />

difficult financial decisions.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Charles T. O’Connor, Jr.<br />

<strong>Town</strong> Treasurer<br />

The annual report <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong> Treasurer is herewith submitted for the fiscal period July<br />

1, 2008 to June 30, 2009.<br />

As directed by the Department <strong>of</strong> Revenue, the Treasurer’s Office operates on a cash<br />

basis in accepting receipts and recording disbursements. Accordingly, this report is structured to<br />

show the operational results <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong>’s general fund and those funds earmarked for special<br />

purposes or segregated according to statutes.<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> receives its revenue from three major sources: quarterly collection <strong>of</strong> real estate<br />

taxes and betterments, the quarterly local allocations from the state as well as other “Cherry<br />

Sheet” receipts, miscellaneous revenue from fee licenses, and various other charges for<br />

municipal services rendered.<br />

Trust Funds<br />

We have two types <strong>of</strong> trust funds: Non-Expendable and Expendable. In the Non-<br />

Expendable type the principal remains intact and only the income may be spent. In the<br />

Expendable Trust, both principal and interest may be spent until the cash balance is exhausted.<br />

Under the law the Treasurer acts as custodian <strong>of</strong> these funds but expenditures are under<br />

the direction <strong>of</strong> the Trustees and must be made in accordance with the wishes <strong>of</strong> the donor.<br />

Pension Reserve Fund<br />

This fund was set up several years ago in response to the concern expressed by State and<br />

Municipal Officials for the enormous sizes <strong>of</strong> our unfunded pension liabilities. This is the<br />

amount that the State, County, and Municipal Retirement Systems would owe at any given<br />

moment for the retirement benefits that employees and retirees have accrued, but not received.<br />

Studies indicate that this figure amounts to billions for the state and to millions for even<br />

relatively small municipalities such as <strong>Auburn</strong>.<br />

SPECIAL FUNDS<br />

The monies involved in the funds listed below have been segregated into separate<br />

accounts so that the Treasurer’s Office may more easily track receipts and expenditures.<br />

The reasons for such segregation vary, but are usually associated with the provisions <strong>of</strong><br />

State Grant or Massachusetts statutes which require that interest earned, as well as principal, be


expended on the Grant’s objective or funds be used only for specific purposes outlined in the<br />

law.<br />

TAX TITLE<br />

When real estate taxes remain unpaid for an appreciable length <strong>of</strong> time, the<br />

collector has the authority under the law to place a registered lien on the property in default and<br />

transfer this unpaid balance to the Treasurer’s book.<br />

The Treasurer then has the problem <strong>of</strong> collecting all amounts due or disposing <strong>of</strong><br />

property through foreclosure or other means. The tax title lien prevents the owner from selling<br />

or transferring his property without satisfying his debt to the <strong>Town</strong>.<br />

Finance Committee<br />

The past three years have been quite difficult on the state, city and town with declining revenue<br />

sources requiring town leaders, department heads, and employees to take bold and decisive action<br />

affecting education, public safety, public works and the delivery <strong>of</strong> required services.<br />

With the outstanding cooperation <strong>of</strong> all, the FY2009 budget approved by <strong>Town</strong> Meeting<br />

Members on May 1, 2008 with operating costs <strong>of</strong> $45,365,055 concluded on June 30, 2009 with<br />

operating appropriations <strong>of</strong> $45,570,055 an increase <strong>of</strong> $205,000 up less than 1%. On September<br />

23, 2009, the Mass. Dept <strong>of</strong> Revenue certified free cash <strong>of</strong> $577,119 as <strong>of</strong> July 1, 2009 on the<br />

general fund.<br />

As we entered calendar year 2009, we were informed that all the state’s FY2010 revenue<br />

projections were weak and expected to worsen. Once again we were told further local aid cuts<br />

could not be avoided in FY2010 (7/01/09 – 6/30/10). The FY2010 Kick Off budget projected an<br />

out <strong>of</strong> balance deficit <strong>of</strong> ($2,210,560). The Board, <strong>Town</strong> and School Management, unions,<br />

employees and department heads worked together taking all the necessary steps to recommend a<br />

balanced budget for Finance Committee consideration and recommendation at the Annual <strong>Town</strong><br />

Meeting on May 7, 2009 with revenues <strong>of</strong> $48,063,531 <strong>of</strong>fsetting total appropriations<br />

$48,063,531, a net change <strong>of</strong> about $191,500 or 0.40% up from FY2009.<br />

Additional articles passed at the 2009 Annual <strong>Town</strong> Meeting and the Special <strong>Town</strong><br />

Meeting on November 12, 2009 have increased revenue sources and incurring appropriations by<br />

about $1,085,400 or 2.27% for FY2010 over FY2009.<br />

The fiscal crisis we all face is real. Decisive choices were made to protect the existing<br />

workforce, so that <strong>Auburn</strong> continues to prioritize and provide community services our residents<br />

and business owners pay for through their tax dollars.<br />

Stated in the Financial Management Review dated December 2009, “Given the current<br />

set <strong>of</strong> circumstances that exist, we feel residents are fortunate to have a seasoned team <strong>of</strong><br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essionals with the experience to navigate through these difficult times.”<br />

The Finance Committee sincerely appreciates your continued support and confidence in<br />

our meeting the basic role and responsibilities as detailed in the town charter.<br />

Board <strong>of</strong> Assessors<br />

During 2009 we have been actively working on our re-inspection program. We have<br />

completed more than half <strong>of</strong> the properties in town, and we are working as quickly as possible to<br />

ensure that all property records for <strong>Auburn</strong> are accurate and up to date. This was also our<br />

revaluation year, and much <strong>of</strong> our time has been spent working on the new valuations, and<br />

addressing all the changes we needed to make to conform to the Department <strong>of</strong> Revenue<br />

guidelines. We received our Notice <strong>of</strong> Final Certification from the Department <strong>of</strong> Revenue on<br />

November 2 nd .<br />

We encourage all taxpayers to come into or call the <strong>of</strong>fice to review a copy <strong>of</strong> their<br />

property record card periodically to make sure the information that your assessment is based on<br />

is correct. We rely on the property record cards to establish your property tax valuation, and if<br />

there are inaccuracies on the card, the valuation could be negatively impacted.<br />

<strong>Town</strong> Collector<br />

The Collector’s Office experienced another productive year in 2009. Our collections<br />

continue to remain steady with each commitment <strong>of</strong> taxes and other receivables, resulting in a<br />

collection rate <strong>of</strong> 98.5%.<br />

The department has worked diligently to meet the requirements <strong>of</strong> the laws while<br />

providing quality customer service to the taxpayer. We strive to treat all with due respect while<br />

accepting payments, answering questions and solving problems as quickly as possible.<br />

In May <strong>of</strong> this year we implemented the new MUNIS s<strong>of</strong>tware for Permits and Code<br />

Enforcement. All payments are received and processed in this <strong>of</strong>fice and deposited on a daily<br />

basis.<br />

I would like to recognize the dedication <strong>of</strong> the <strong>of</strong>fice staff, Deanna Randall and Gloria<br />

Bloomquist. Together we look forward to serving the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> in the coming year.<br />

<strong>Town</strong> Collector, CMMC<br />

MIS Department<br />

I came back to work for the town as MIS Director on August 6 th , 2009. I had previously<br />

served in that capacity from 1999 – 2004. My initial task was to develop a strategic plan for the<br />

MIS Department. The plan would serve two primary purposes; one was to bring me up to speed<br />

on what the needs <strong>of</strong> each department were; and the second was to lay out a roadmap on how to<br />

meet those needs. The plan was completed in early September and presented to the Board <strong>of</strong><br />

Selectmen on September 28 th . The plan received overwhelming support and was approved as<br />

presented. I’ve included a copy here with an update on each item. The update information has<br />

been set in bold type for clarity.<br />

Analysis and Strategic Plan for the MIS Department<br />

The approach taken to sort out the issues that currently exist for the MIS Department was<br />

to break them down in to component items. The items are listed in no particular order <strong>of</strong><br />

importance, although a suggested time frame for purchasing some <strong>of</strong> the components is included<br />

in the description.<br />

IT resources can be grouped in to three main categories, which are:<br />

1) Desktops<br />

2) Servers<br />

3) Networks<br />

Some <strong>of</strong> the categories have sub-categories (indented and highlighted). But collectively,<br />

they comprise the IT initiative (excluding some s<strong>of</strong>tware which doesn’t fall under any category).<br />

Under each category are listed reasons that we need to upgrade or to continue with the status<br />

quo.<br />

1) Desktops


It would be beneficial to purchase the desktop computers in phases (because <strong>of</strong> budgetary<br />

considerations and manpower constraints). The first phase should occur now; the second would<br />

happen in the spring <strong>of</strong> 2010. The third would be some time after that. Three phases should<br />

cover replacement <strong>of</strong> almost all the computers (with the exception <strong>of</strong> several <strong>of</strong> the newer<br />

machines, which will remain in service). All told, the town has 56 desktop/laptop computers<br />

(including 2 at police), with those at the schools excluded.<br />

Most <strong>of</strong> the machines being replaced in the first phase are Dell Optiplex GX260's running<br />

Windows 2000 Pr<strong>of</strong>essional, Service Pack 4 (8 <strong>of</strong> 13). On average, these machines are over 4<br />

years out <strong>of</strong> warranty, making them 7 years old. 3 <strong>of</strong> the 13 machines are Dell Optiplex 280's,<br />

which shipped in 2004, with warranties having expired in 12/07. The remaining computers are<br />

largely the same make/models. We have no replacement PC's in inventory. In addition, each<br />

new PC will have an energy saving LCD monitor, instead <strong>of</strong> an energy consuming CRT monitor.<br />

Windows 2000 Pr<strong>of</strong>essional went out <strong>of</strong> mainstream warranty from Micros<strong>of</strong>t in 2005.<br />

Some <strong>of</strong> the s<strong>of</strong>tware used by other agencies (towns, state, commercial) will not run on it.<br />

Micros<strong>of</strong>t Office 2007 requires at least Windows XP, Service Pack 2 to run on. This is a big<br />

issue with not being able to install newer, time saving programs that are unable to run on these<br />

computers. Some <strong>of</strong> the remote management and updating capabilities available for new<br />

versions <strong>of</strong> operating systems are not available for Windows 2000 Pr<strong>of</strong>essional either.<br />

As stated previously, a number <strong>of</strong> desktop computers are running outdated and no longer<br />

supported Windows 2000 Pr<strong>of</strong>essional. A number <strong>of</strong> others are running Windows XP<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essional. Each new computer would come with Windows Vista Business. This would allow<br />

us to standardize on an operating system (OS) for desktops, making them easier to support.<br />

Application s<strong>of</strong>tware issues<br />

The current version <strong>of</strong> Micros<strong>of</strong>t Office will not run on Windows 2000 Pr<strong>of</strong>essional.<br />

Several department heads have voiced their concerns over the inability to transact business with<br />

state agencies because <strong>of</strong> the lack <strong>of</strong> compatibility between the s<strong>of</strong>tware the state uses and what<br />

they're currently using (OpenOffice). There are also other compatibility issues with applications<br />

not related to Office. The Veteran's Affairs Director, for example, could not run a program called<br />

VSS on his machine, which was running Windows 2000 Pr<strong>of</strong>essional.<br />

Support issues<br />

The newer operating systems are more stable (Vista is at Service Pack 2 now) and require<br />

less maintenance and support.<br />

Security<br />

Windows Vista/Windows 7 is a much more secure desktop environment than Windows<br />

2000 Pr<strong>of</strong>essional.<br />

Licensing<br />

It does not appear that most <strong>of</strong> the machines are properly licensed for the s<strong>of</strong>tware they<br />

are running. Replacing these machines with new machines that have licensed s<strong>of</strong>tware would<br />

resolve that problem.<br />

Life cycle<br />

The life cycle for these new machines should be on the order <strong>of</strong> 4-6 years. The idea<br />

would be to rollover the old machines with new ones when they come due. This will give us<br />

time to look at alternate technologies that may change this approach (like virtualized desktops for<br />

example). It would also allow for more straightforward budget planning (CIP).<br />

In October, 15 new desktop computers were ordered to complete Phase 1 <strong>of</strong> desktop<br />

replacement. All 15 computers were installed and operational by Thanksgiving. Micros<strong>of</strong>t


Office came bundled from Dell on each new computer. All documents were transferred from the<br />

old computers to the new. Each new machine is licensed for both Windows Vista Business and<br />

Office 2007.<br />

2) Servers<br />

The domain controller that is used for authenticating logons and storing user data is<br />

running on a modified PC. It is not running on server hardware. It does not have the power<br />

supplies, disk types, hard drive controllers, or other hardware one usually expects to see in<br />

servers. It is running Windows Server 2003, which should be supported for a while yet. For<br />

these reasons, I’m recommending that we purchase replacement hardware for this server and<br />

migrate to it.<br />

The MUNIS server is an adequate machine (hardware-wise) for the version <strong>of</strong> the<br />

s<strong>of</strong>tware we're running now, but will not support a future MUNIS upgrade (per MUNIS<br />

requirements). In addition, the operating system that MUNIS is currently running on is not<br />

supported by MUNIS (CentOS). The MUNIS specification for server hardware to support the<br />

Windows/SQL version <strong>of</strong> the product is two servers, one acting as an application server and the<br />

other as a database server. Both servers will be running Windows Server 2008 as their operating<br />

system (again, per MUNIS requirements). We will need to purchase both <strong>of</strong> these machines as<br />

we have nothing in house that meets the hardware requirements.<br />

Vision is currently running on its own server, and will continue that way for the near<br />

future. The server it is running on should be good for another 3-5 years.<br />

The fire station also has a server. It should be good for another 3-5 years.<br />

Money has been appropriated by town meeting and borrowed for the purpose <strong>of</strong> upgrading<br />

the servers. It is my recommendation that the domain controller and two servers required to run<br />

the upgraded MUNIS s<strong>of</strong>tware be purchased now.<br />

MUNIS s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />

MUNIS is an integral s<strong>of</strong>tware component used in the operation <strong>of</strong> the town's financial,<br />

property, permitting, and management systems. It is currently running on an unsupported OS<br />

(per MUNIS support). Most <strong>of</strong> the recent (past two years) development efforts by the<br />

programmers at MUNIS have been focused on the Windows/SQL Server environment. It is my<br />

recommendation that we migrate MUNIS to that environment. The new application and<br />

database servers would be dedicated to the task <strong>of</strong> ensuring that MUNIS runs reliably, securely,<br />

and quickly. Money has been appropriated for this task. It is my recommendation that the<br />

money be spent now to upgrade MUNIS.<br />

Application s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />

Micros<strong>of</strong>t Office 2007 would be included with each new computer purchased. Each<br />

computer would come with a license for the use <strong>of</strong> this product. There have been numerous<br />

documented issues where one <strong>of</strong> the programs in the Micros<strong>of</strong>t Office Suite (most notably Word<br />

or Excel) was needed to solve a problem where a substitute application would not meet the need.<br />

It is my recommendation that we purchase open license copies <strong>of</strong> Office 2007 for the desktops<br />

that won’t be replaced until later, so they can more easily share documents with the users who<br />

get replacement machines.<br />

Anti-virus s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />

We currently have a network license for AVG anti-virus s<strong>of</strong>tware. This would be installed<br />

on each new computer also.<br />

Operating System S<strong>of</strong>tware


The servers are currently running Windows Server 2003, or in one instance, CentOS<br />

Linux. The requirement for the two new MUNIS servers calls for Windows Server 2008<br />

(replacing Linux), which will need to be purchased. We will also need to purchase OS s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />

for the new domain controller.<br />

Backups<br />

Backups are an important component <strong>of</strong> the strategy, as well as disaster recovery. Neither<br />

component was being adequately addressed. A temporary solution has been implemented, but a<br />

more robust and comprehensive solution is necessary. An in-house solution would provide for a<br />

round-robin disk-to-disk backup scheme spanning two to four weeks (depending on data set<br />

size). After that, the data would be over written, starting with the oldest date first. There would<br />

be no archival <strong>of</strong> data in this scheme. Disaster recovery would be handled by having the backup<br />

server in a separate physical location from the servers it's backing up. Online backup options<br />

exist, but in our situation, I don’t think they’re a good alternative. A downside to online backups<br />

is the time it takes to backup large amounts <strong>of</strong> data over a relatively slow link and also having an<br />

additional process running on the server. Cost can be an issue too. It is my recommendation that<br />

we continue backups in-house. The s<strong>of</strong>tware currently being used for that purpose needs to be<br />

upgraded and will need to be purchased.<br />

Server room relocation<br />

The room in which the servers are currently housed is not adequate for the purpose.<br />

Other locations are being reviewed as possible candidates for the server room relocation, and<br />

once chosen, should be prepared and the servers moved. The MIS department is currently<br />

working on a plan, which will be presented once it is finalized.<br />

In October, MUNIS was contracted to perform a migration from the Informix database running<br />

on a Linux server to Micros<strong>of</strong>t SQL Server running on Windows Server 2008. In addition, two<br />

new HP ML350 G6 servers were ordered from Hub Technical to run the application and database<br />

s<strong>of</strong>tware for MUNIS. MUNIS was also upgraded from version 6.3 to 7.4 as part <strong>of</strong> this<br />

initiative. The migration and server installation took place in December. The final phase out <strong>of</strong><br />

the old version <strong>of</strong> MUNIS to the new one will take place in early January, 2010. A new server<br />

room was setup downstairs in the Merriam building to house the new servers. That new facility<br />

became operational in December. Backup Exec s<strong>of</strong>tware was ordered from Hub Technical to<br />

support backing up the existing and new data. All new desktops run Vista Business and<br />

Micros<strong>of</strong>t Office 2007 s<strong>of</strong>tware. Phase 2 and Phase 3 machines will be similarily configured.<br />

Each machine on the network is running AVG anti-virus s<strong>of</strong>tware.<br />

3) Networks<br />

Comm-Tract has started to pull the fiber for the town-wide fiber optic network. This<br />

network will be a privately owned (by the <strong>Town</strong>) network connecting all town and school<br />

buildings. It will provide for reliable and error free transmission rates <strong>of</strong> 1000mbps. Uptime<br />

should near 100%. The project is slated to be completed sometime in mid-late October.<br />

Web site<br />

The current web site is in need <strong>of</strong> a lot <strong>of</strong> upkeep and additions and should be given a<br />

new look (i.e. replaced). Outsourcing this task (both in the development and hosting <strong>of</strong> the site)<br />

would be preferable. Several vendors are being considered for the task.<br />

E-mail<br />

E-mail is currently hosted by Charter and will stay that way for the foreseeable future.<br />

Firewall


Once the fiber network is completed, all traffic bound for the Internet will travel to the<br />

<strong>Town</strong> Hall where the connection will be made. This increased traffic may exceed the capabilities<br />

<strong>of</strong> the currently installed firewall. Besides providing security, the firewall is also used for Web<br />

content filtering. A replacement firewall may be needed to meet the increased bandwidth<br />

requirements, as well as providing content filtering. Money has been allocated for this purpose.<br />

It would be my recommendation to purchase a new firewall.<br />

The town-wide fiber optic network went in to service in October and is running smoothly with<br />

zero downtime to date. We are still hoping to obtain the necessary funding to replace the web<br />

site. Hopefully that will happen by the summer <strong>of</strong> 2010. We had met with four perspective<br />

vendors in an effort to get a head start on the process when the funding does become available.<br />

E-mail continues to be hosted by Charter but we are looking at archival systems and alternatives<br />

to this. A new Sonicwall NSA 3500 firewall was purchased from Hub Technical and installed in<br />

October.<br />

Summary:<br />

Cost Estimates for the MIS Rehabilitation project:<br />

All items in this plan including Phase 1 <strong>of</strong> desktop replacement - $81,637.41<br />

Phase 2 <strong>of</strong> desktop replacement (March 2010) - $15,000<br />

Phase 3 <strong>of</strong> desktop replacement (TBD) - $15,000<br />

Total cost for project - $111,637.41<br />

All 2009 phases <strong>of</strong> the plan that have been completed and have come in under budget.<br />

In Summary, 2009 was a very busy year for the MIS Department and by all indications<br />

2010 will be so too. Some <strong>of</strong> the projects we’re anticipating completing in 2010 are finalizing<br />

the MUNIS migration project; a new, much more robust web site for the town; mail archiving<br />

(possibly with a new mail server); a disaster recovery plan; completion <strong>of</strong> Phase 2 and Phase 3 <strong>of</strong><br />

the desktop replacement project; help desk s<strong>of</strong>tware; online GIS availability; and continued end<br />

user support. We look forward to a very productive and rewarding year.<br />

Planning Board<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> Planning Board had twenty-four (24) public meetings during which nine (9)<br />

public hearings were held in 2009. These hearings were held to review applications for<br />

commercial and residential developments. The board granted approvals for two (2) special<br />

permits and endorsed five (5) Approval Not Required (ANR) plans. Several applications for<br />

modification <strong>of</strong> existing site plan approvals were also reviewed and approved. The board also


approved one (1) Definitive Subdivision Plan for a development on Blaker Street, known as the<br />

Reserve at Ashworth Hill.<br />

As the Board enters the new year, decisions are still pending regarding requests for site<br />

plan approval, a special permit for an Open Space Residential Development as well as definitive<br />

subdivision approvals on two major projects.<br />

This past year the Board also continued the process <strong>of</strong> implementing the <strong>Auburn</strong> Master<br />

Plan, which was approved in 2005. The Board’s Master Plan Implementation Committee began<br />

working with local business owners to identify ways in which the Southbridge Street Corridor<br />

from Drury Square to the Worcester City Line could be improved to increase business attraction<br />

and retention. We extend our thanks and appreciation to the members <strong>of</strong> the Master Plan<br />

Implementation Committee, and we wish to thank all those who participated in the process.<br />

We would like to express our gratitude to Adam R. Burney, <strong>Town</strong> Planner, for his work<br />

in staffing the Board and handling the day to day work required to keep the planning and<br />

approval process functioning. During the past year Mr. Burney has submitted a draft <strong>of</strong> new<br />

Rules and Regulations for the Subdivision <strong>of</strong> Land to the Planning Board as well as worked with<br />

the Select Board and Acting <strong>Town</strong> Manager on many initiatives including having the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> designated as an Economic Target Area (ETA). This designation will aid in future<br />

economic development tasks. Mr. Burney also worked with the Chief Assessor to digitize the<br />

<strong>Town</strong>’s Zoning Map. This will allow for more frequent updates and a more accessible and<br />

understandable maps.<br />

The Planning Board would also like to thank Sheila Conroy, Administrative Assistant, for<br />

her assistance in handling the administrative responsibilities <strong>of</strong> the Planning Department.<br />

Furthermore, the Board would like to thank William Coyle, <strong>Town</strong> Engineer, for providing<br />

technical assistance in the review <strong>of</strong> applications, as well as Ellen Gaboury, <strong>Town</strong> Clerk, and her<br />

staff; Andy Pelletier, Director <strong>of</strong> Public Health and the staff <strong>of</strong> the Health Department, and<br />

Cindy Cosgrove, Assessor, and the staff <strong>of</strong> the Assessor’s Office.<br />

As we move forward and the development <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> necessitates careful integration <strong>of</strong><br />

enforcement activities, we look forward to working with Donald Miller, Building Inspector &<br />

Zoning Enforcement Officer, Conservation Commission, <strong>Auburn</strong> Police Department, Fire<br />

Department, Highway Department and Sewer Department as well as the <strong>Auburn</strong> Water District,<br />

to whom we also extend our thanks for all <strong>of</strong> their assistance in reviewing plans, making<br />

recommendations and enforcing conditions <strong>of</strong> approval during construction and ongoing<br />

operations.<br />

Residents are always welcome at Planning Board Meetings, which are usually scheduled<br />

at 7:00 P.M. on the second and fourth Tuesday <strong>of</strong> each month in the Planning Board Conference<br />

Room on the second floor <strong>of</strong> <strong>Town</strong> Hall, located at 104 Central Street. Please feel free to call<br />

Adam Burney, <strong>Town</strong> Planner, at 508-832-7704 if you have questions about the <strong>Auburn</strong> Zoning<br />

By-laws, filing applications with the Planning Board, its agendas for upcoming meetings or how<br />

you may provide comments to the board about a particular petition. Additional information is<br />

also available at the town’s website, www.auburnguide.com, under <strong>Town</strong> Government--Planning<br />

Board.<br />

Finally, on December 9, 2009, Dan Carpenter resigned his position on the Planning<br />

Board for personal reasons and he will be greatly missed. Over the past decade plus Dan has<br />

been a valuable member <strong>of</strong> the Board. During his time on the Board Dan worked hard to ensure<br />

that the <strong>Town</strong>’s best interests were protected in development proposals and was an intergal part<br />

<strong>of</strong> the 2005 Master Plan Update process and the subsequent work to implement the resulting


ecommendations. Dan chaired both the Master Plan Committee and the Master Plan<br />

Implementation Committee which were driven by his commitment and where great progress was<br />

achieved through his perseverance. The Planning Board would like to extend its extreme<br />

gratitude to Dan for his years <strong>of</strong> service and we wish him much happiness and success in<br />

whatever life brings him in the future.<br />

The Board looks forward to a busy year in 2010, reviewing various development<br />

proposals in addition to working to implement more recommendations from the Master Plan for<br />

the town, as well as updating the Zoning Bylaws and Subdivision Rules and Regulations to better<br />

address the growth and development <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong>.<br />

Police Department<br />

Two thousand and nine was a particularly busy year for the men and women <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> Police Department. Our five newest <strong>of</strong>ficers have completed the police academy, the<br />

field-training program and are now patrolling on their own as <strong>Auburn</strong> Patrolmen. I wish to<br />

congratulate each <strong>of</strong> them on their achievements.<br />

Officer Jason Miglionico has been assigned full time to the <strong>Auburn</strong> Police Department’s<br />

Traffic Unit. He works a “bounce shift” to <strong>of</strong>fer traffic enforcement at varying times. He is also<br />

a certified accident reconstructionist and is an invaluable asset when needed.<br />

Officer Brian Kennedy has been assigned full time as the Department’s School Resource<br />

Officer or SRO. Officer Kennedy had previously been involved in the former part-time DARE<br />

program. His involvement as liaison to the <strong>Auburn</strong> School District has been very positive. As<br />

the SRO, Officer Kennedy is able to interact with <strong>Auburn</strong>’s youth on a more one on one basis,<br />

thus creating a helpful link between students, schools, families, and the Juvenile Court system by<br />

implementing a proactive instead <strong>of</strong> a reactionary approach.<br />

Fortunately, due to Federal grant funding, the <strong>Auburn</strong> Police K-9 unit now has a certified<br />

explosives/gun detector dog. Recently, Officer James Ljunggrren hosted a bomb dog detector<br />

training at the <strong>Auburn</strong> Mall. That training was the largest ever held in New England and it<br />

received national recognition. In August <strong>of</strong> 2009 the K-9 unit was deployed by the Secret<br />

Service in Boston MA to ensure safe passage for three former United States Presidents, George<br />

H.W. Bush, William J. Clinton, and George W. Bush as well as the current sitting President<br />

Barack H. Obama. The four Presidents were together to pay their respects at Senator Edward<br />

(Ted) Kennedy’s funeral service. It was a very prestigious assignment for the veteran <strong>of</strong>ficer that<br />

he described as, “the pinnacle <strong>of</strong> his career.” Unfortunately, in this post 911 era, it is a grim<br />

reminder that we need this type <strong>of</strong> resource to keep our citizens and children safe.<br />

Largely, the Southbridge Street improvement project is now completed. Resident’s dealt<br />

with significant traffic delays during the two years <strong>of</strong> construction. Traffic flow has certainly


improved overall however; due to the road improvements, speed enforcement will be more<br />

critical than ever.<br />

The proposed improvement to the junction <strong>of</strong> Rt. 12 and 20 should see a greater reduction<br />

in crashes and greater ease <strong>of</strong> travel for <strong>Auburn</strong> residents.<br />

Fire Department<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> Fire Department began 2009 in the wake <strong>of</strong> the devastating ice storm that<br />

began on December 11, 2008. In early January the department conducted a comprehensive<br />

review <strong>of</strong> our operations and response to the storm. While it was felt that the fire department<br />

performed very well in the face <strong>of</strong> crisis, there is always room for improvement and the<br />

department made some changes during the course <strong>of</strong> 2009 to address some <strong>of</strong> the items noted in<br />

the after action review.<br />

In 2009 the <strong>Auburn</strong> Fire Department responded to 3,023 calls for service. While it would<br />

appear that our call volume is down slightly from 2008, when you factor out the 200 calls that<br />

were directly related to the ice storm, our call volume actually increased by 2.5% in 2009. Our<br />

largest block <strong>of</strong> calls continues to be Emergency Medical Services which account for 74% <strong>of</strong> the<br />

total call volume.<br />

Six new members were welcomed to the department this year. Alex Filiere, Brian Soucy,<br />

Alex O'Brien and Bryan Almstrom all joined the department as call firefighters in January and<br />

completed their training from the District 7 Recruit Training Program in June. Adam LaFlash<br />

and Patrick Reynolds joined the ranks as career members. Firefighter LaFlash had previously<br />

attended the Massachusetts Fire Fighting Academy as a member <strong>of</strong> the Oxford Fire Department,


and Firefighter Reynolds began his academy training in November. He is scheduled to graduate<br />

in March <strong>of</strong> 2010. In addition to the six new members who joined the department, we also saw<br />

the promotion <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> our members. Firefighter David Tefft was promoted to Lieutenant on<br />

May 3 rd . Lt. Tefft has been with the department since 2003 and takes over as the <strong>of</strong>ficer in charge<br />

<strong>of</strong> group 1.<br />

The Bureau <strong>of</strong> Fire Prevention and Investigation continues to conduct daily inspection<br />

and code enforcement throughout the community. A total <strong>of</strong> 229 inspections were completed<br />

within retail, commercial, assembly and educational occupancies. Many <strong>of</strong> these inspections are<br />

reoccurring not only throughout the year, but on an annual basis. The Bureau is currently<br />

compiling a list <strong>of</strong> vacant or abandoned buildings throughout the community. In conjunction<br />

with the Building Inspector these buildings will eventually be affixed with appropriate markings<br />

identifying them as vacant and abandoned buildings for the safety <strong>of</strong> all emergency responders in<br />

the community. It is also important to identify these vacant or abandoned buildings because they<br />

become a prime target for arson related crimes.<br />

Training continues to play a large role in the department. The departments training<br />

division coordinated 221 valuable training sessions in 2009 for all members <strong>of</strong> the department.<br />

The call firefighters continue to train on Monday nights at our training facility on West St.<br />

Over the course <strong>of</strong> 3 days in July the entire department participated in an extensive 20<br />

hour Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) program. The training was taught by 4 instructors from the<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> Fire Department who had previously attended a train-the-trainer program that was hosted<br />

in <strong>Auburn</strong> by the Massachusetts Fire Fighting Academy in 2008. This physically demanding<br />

training taught firefighters the techniques and skills necessary for self rescue and the rescue <strong>of</strong><br />

trapped or lost firefighters. The delivery <strong>of</strong> this program was a previous goal that was set for the<br />

department in 2008 and will be instrumental to the safety <strong>of</strong> our members. In October members<br />

<strong>of</strong> the department conducted live fire simulations at the West St. training facility. These annual<br />

refreshers are very important for skill development.<br />

A new fire engine was added to the fleet this year. A 2009 Pierce Contender was put into<br />

service in November as the <strong>Town</strong>s new Engine 3. The new engine replaces a 1977 Mack that<br />

was put out to bid in January <strong>of</strong> 2010. Engine 3 is now the first due pumper from fire<br />

headquarters on all first alarm assignments.<br />

2009 was also a time for the department to reflect on our past. On June 14 th the fire<br />

department rededicated it's Memorial Monument at Hillside Cemetery on it's 50 th anniversary.<br />

The names <strong>of</strong> 83 deceased members were read at a small ceremony that was attended by both<br />

current and retired members <strong>of</strong> the department as well as local and state <strong>of</strong>ficials. I would like to<br />

thank Deputy Chief Stephen Coleman, Captain Jeffrey Mitchell, Lt. Kenneth Holstrom and<br />

Department Chaplain Rev. Douglas Geeze for their time and effort in organizing the re<br />

dedication ceremony.<br />

We also saw the new <strong>Auburn</strong> Pond Dam that was constructed behind fire headquarters<br />

dedicated to Captain Patrick J. Foley. Captain Foley was killed in the line <strong>of</strong> duty on March 6,<br />

1930.<br />

December 3, 2009 also marked the 10 th anniversary <strong>of</strong> the Worcester Cold Storage<br />

Warehouse fire. Members <strong>of</strong> the department attended a beautiful memorial service at the<br />

Franklin St. Fire Station.<br />

In closing, I would like to thank all <strong>of</strong> the members <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Auburn</strong> Fire Department for<br />

the outstanding effort that they put in to ensure that the citizens <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> are protected. I would


also like to thank the local <strong>of</strong>ficials and the citizens <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> for their continued support <strong>of</strong> our<br />

department.<br />

Tree Warden<br />

What a year for trees! The only work that was done on trees this year was with FEMA<br />

funds. Due to all <strong>of</strong> the budget constraints, most <strong>of</strong> the tree warden’s budget was frozen. FEMA<br />

gave the <strong>Town</strong> approximately $20,000 to help maintain trees that were damaged in the<br />

December 2008 ice storm. The bid was given to Dillon Tree, Inc. As always, they did a very<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essional job and tended to all <strong>of</strong> our needs.<br />

We did have a scare with the infestation <strong>of</strong> the Asian Longhorn Beetles in Worcester. To<br />

date, we have not confirmed any <strong>of</strong> these beetles in our <strong>Town</strong>, although, we are alerted to their<br />

possible presence.<br />

Hoping for a better year <strong>of</strong> maintaining <strong>Town</strong> trees if the funds become available.<br />

Respectfully submitted,<br />

Highway Department<br />

Every year this Highway Department proves to be more challenging, more educational<br />

and always full <strong>of</strong> surprises. This job follows the saying “experience out does education.”<br />

It was a tough year with a lot <strong>of</strong> budget cuts. The Department lost another three<br />

positions, including the <strong>General</strong> Foreman position. Our Department is now a Department <strong>of</strong> 8<br />

equipment operators, 1 mechanic, 1 secretary and 1 highway surveyor. It’s over a 1/3% cut to<br />

what the Department was 10 years ago and 50% cut to what the Department was 20 years ago.<br />

The faces and names remain the same and the jobs continue to get done. Next year will be full<br />

<strong>of</strong> many challenges and empty on the budget side.<br />

Our winter proved to be a normal New England winter. We had approximately 66 inches<br />

<strong>of</strong> snowfall and plowed 12 times. We used approximately 4000 tons <strong>of</strong> sand and 1500 tons <strong>of</strong><br />

salt to treat the <strong>Town</strong> roads.<br />

Our sweeping started late in March and ended late in June. We picked up approximately<br />

8000 yards <strong>of</strong> sweeping materials. Our catch basin truck was not available all year long after<br />

needing extensive repairs that could not be funded. Our crosswalk painting went back to only


white lines, for we could not afford to add in the blue paint. Our catch basin repairs and asphalt<br />

repairs were few and far between. The budget cuts would not allow for much <strong>of</strong> the materials<br />

needed. We did hook up with the <strong>Town</strong> Engineer and worked on a major drainage job with him<br />

on Barbara Avenue. This job was way overdue and made our heavy fall rainfalls less<br />

troublesome.<br />

Our brush cutters ran throughout the summer months tending to all <strong>of</strong> the overgrown<br />

areas. A few <strong>of</strong> the guys worked on fixing our tire room ro<strong>of</strong> that had caved in, and our new heat<br />

system was installed.<br />

As always, my Department worked throughout the year with all <strong>of</strong> the other Departments<br />

on anything as needed.<br />

Our crew consists <strong>of</strong> James Beauregard, Mark Berryman, Stephen Duff, Richard<br />

Fairbanks, Terry Gaspie, Peter Lebel, Mark Mahlert, Stephen Nozzolillo, Wayne Page, Pat<br />

D’Agostino, and Darleen Belsito.<br />

Board <strong>of</strong> Sewer Commissioners<br />

The Board <strong>of</strong> Sewer Commissioners held regularly scheduled public meetings during<br />

2009 to conduct its business as authorized. This report is intended to briefly outline the major<br />

activities <strong>of</strong> the department for the past year.<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> Sewer System was placed in operation in 1974. Foresight and planning over<br />

the years has resulted in a modern sewer system consisting <strong>of</strong> approximately 22 miles <strong>of</strong> sewer<br />

lines and eleven sewer pumping stations in various locations around town. Approximately 85%<br />

<strong>of</strong> the town is sewered. Areas not currently sewered are the most remote and costly areas to<br />

install and operate a sewer system.<br />

The usage <strong>of</strong> the sewer system increased in fiscal 2008 with the department accepting 22<br />

new connections. The total number <strong>of</strong> sewer connections is distributed as follows:<br />

Residential 5402<br />

Residential/Commercial 153<br />

Commercial 513<br />

Industrial 20<br />

Tax Exempt 177<br />

Worcester Connections<br />

54<br />

Total 6319<br />

The total discharge to the Upper Blackstone Water Pollution Abatement District for<br />

treatment was 672,379,293 gallons (average <strong>of</strong> 1,842,135 gal/day).<br />

The Sewer Department has been operating under an enterprise fund financial structure<br />

since 2000. Therefore, the department is financially self-sustaining raising revenues through<br />

usage fees, connection fees, permit fees, I/I removal fees, and State sewer relief funding when<br />

available. Unfortunately the State sewer relief funding has not been available for the past few


years. Operating costs have continued to increase mainly due to the major rehabilitation project<br />

at the Upper Blackstone Water Pollution Abatement District treatment plant. The Board made the<br />

decision, because <strong>of</strong> the economic climate, to not increase the rates for the fiscal 2009 billing and<br />

has for the third year in a row been able to hold the minimum charge at $140.00 with<br />

consideration for the many residents that live on a fixed income. The minimum charge includes<br />

the first 5,000 gallons <strong>of</strong> usage. Most elderly households are billed this amount due to their low<br />

water usage. The per 100 cubic foot charge over the first 5,000 gallons is $3.14 per 100 cubic<br />

feet.<br />

Illustrated below is <strong>Auburn</strong>’s Sewer Rate history, the Upper Blackstone’s budget history,<br />

and <strong>Auburn</strong> Sewer Department’s budget history since the EPA mandated construction work<br />

started at the treatment plant. The sewer rate chart shows the increases that have occurred since<br />

FY 04. The next chart illustrates the Upper Blackstone budget increases for the same period. The<br />

line in red is the Upper Blackstone overall budget including the debt and interest payments as<br />

well as the operational portion. The Upper Blackstone has no control over the debt and interest as<br />

the construction work is mandated by EPA. The blue line indicates what their budget would look<br />

like without the debt and interest. The third chart illustrates <strong>Auburn</strong>’s Budget for the same<br />

period. The greenish colored line illustrates the overall budget <strong>of</strong> the Sewer Department<br />

including the assessments from the Upper Blackstone. The Sewer Department has no control<br />

over the assessments as they are set by the Upper Blackstone’s Board <strong>of</strong> Directors. The<br />

assessments to each member community is what funds the operations <strong>of</strong> the treatment facility the<br />

same way that the Sewer Department’s user rates fund the operational budget <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Auburn</strong><br />

Sewer Department. The red line illustrates what the <strong>Auburn</strong> Sewer Department’s budget would<br />

be without increases to the assessment. The blue line illustrates what it would look like without<br />

the Upper Blackstone’s assessment. This line shows only the operational portion <strong>of</strong> the budget.<br />

The reason for these illustrations is to show that without the mandated construction costs<br />

imposed by the EPA, the Upper Blackstone’s budget, the Sewer Department’s budget would be<br />

nowhere near as high as it is. The large increase in assessments each year are the driving force<br />

behind the increases in the user charges for <strong>Auburn</strong>’s users.


On December 21, 2005, The Massachusetts Department <strong>of</strong> Environmental Protection<br />

(DEP) issued an Administrative Consent Order (ACO) to the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong>. The consent order<br />

documented corrective actions to be taken in response to a sewer bypass event at the<br />

department's main pump station known as the Pinrock Pump Station. Under the terms <strong>of</strong> the<br />

ACO the <strong>Town</strong> is tasked with upgrading the existing facility to eliminate future bypass events,<br />

developing a standard notification procedure for alerting downstream communities in the event<br />

<strong>of</strong> a future pollution release to the Blackstone River, and to evaluate its municipal sewer system<br />

and address areas subject to excessive infiltration and inflow known as I&I. I&I is ground or<br />

stormwater that enters the sewer system through broken or cracked pipes, holes in manholes and<br />

covers, sump pumps, drains and downspouts. The I&I flow increases the costs incurred by the<br />

department due to the higher volume <strong>of</strong> wastewater that is transported and treated at the Upper<br />

Blackstone plant. Reduction <strong>of</strong> I&I flow is a major objective <strong>of</strong> the department.<br />

On June 12, 2006 the town entered into a contract with Fay Sp<strong>of</strong>ford and Thorndike, LLC<br />

(FS&T) to provide pr<strong>of</strong>essional engineering services that would provide and update townwide<br />

I&I and a Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Survey Program (SSES). The primary objective <strong>of</strong> this<br />

project was to develop a plan and implementation schedule to locate and identify sources <strong>of</strong><br />

excessive I&I entering the <strong>Auburn</strong> Sewer system and to prescribe and prioritize cost effective<br />

rehabilitation methods to reduce I&I. This program was conducted in 2 phases. Phase 1 consisted<br />

<strong>of</strong> compiling data <strong>of</strong> the existing system and by flow monitoring <strong>of</strong> targeted areas where<br />

excessive flow was known. In Phase 2 an investigation was conducted to find where the<br />

additional flow was coming from.<br />

This work was completed in the fall <strong>of</strong> 2008. As part <strong>of</strong> the engineering work, FS&T<br />

made recommendations as to the best methods to remove the additional flow. With their help, the<br />

department applied for grant money through DEP for $2,000,000.00 to remove the I&I.<br />

Unfortunately, our grant application was not approved by DEP. The department also applied,<br />

with other town departments for stimulus funding which was not granted. Therefore, the <strong>Town</strong><br />

appropriated the money needed to complete the work through <strong>Town</strong> Meeting. The repair work is<br />

scheduled to begin in the Spring <strong>of</strong> 2010.


The Board <strong>of</strong> Sewer Commissioners would like to note that it is illegal to have sump pumps<br />

and ro<strong>of</strong> drains connected to the public sanitary sewer system because it increases costs to<br />

town residents.<br />

At the present time the Sewer Department staff is comprised <strong>of</strong> Mr. Jeffrey C. Mitchell,<br />

Superintendent, Mrs. JoAnne Donahue, Clerk/Secretary, Mr. Joseph C. Cusson, Operations<br />

Foreman, Mr. William H. Girardin, Sewer Mechanic, Mr. Michael Craft, Sewer Mechanic, Mr.<br />

Jeffrey Mondor, Sewer Mechanic, Mr. Kenneth Rabouin, Sewer Mechanic and Mr. Michael<br />

Letendre, Part time employee for weekend and holiday rounds.<br />

The Board <strong>of</strong> Sewer Commissioners would like to thank and congratulate the entire staff<br />

for their fine work and dedication. The staff, due to their hard work, skills and knowledge has<br />

been able to save the users a great deal <strong>of</strong> money. Most other sewer departments and districts<br />

sub-contract most <strong>of</strong> the work that the staff performs therefore the saving costs.<br />

As in the past the Sewer Department has loaned equipment and manpower to other town<br />

departments to perform such work as cleaning catch basins, drain lines and plowing snow as<br />

required, and the Board <strong>of</strong> Sewer Commissioners would like to thank the Cemetery, Fire,<br />

Highway, Parks, Police, and School Departments for allowing the Sewer Department to use their<br />

equipment, manpower, and facilities as needed. In addition, the Sewer Department has a<br />

working agreement with the City <strong>of</strong> Worcester to utilize equipment and manpower for<br />

specialized services at no cost to the town.<br />

Parks Commissioners<br />

The Parks Department has had a productive year. In addition to routine turf maintenance<br />

for over 130 acres the Parks Commissioners fulfilled several additional objectives.<br />

One <strong>of</strong> the major objectives that was accomplished this past year was the successful<br />

scheduling <strong>of</strong> the new baseball and s<strong>of</strong>tball diamonds at <strong>Auburn</strong> High School. This department<br />

was able to work with the School Department and all <strong>of</strong> the town youth athletic leagues in order<br />

to maximize usage <strong>of</strong> these fields and to accommodate all <strong>of</strong> the activities that were requested.<br />

The Parks Commissioners also continued to enforce a stringent site management policy for all <strong>of</strong><br />

the new fields at the <strong>Auburn</strong> High School complex. This policy requires the supervision <strong>of</strong> a<br />

Parks Department employee for any games or activities that are held outside <strong>of</strong> working hours.<br />

The policy was developed in order to protect the town’s substantial financial investment in these<br />

fields. Without Parks supervision the fields could face significant damage. The Parks<br />

Commissioners continue to work closely with the School Department to establish protocol and<br />

policy for the use <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> the new fields at <strong>Auburn</strong> High School. The Parks Commissioners also<br />

wish to thank the other town departments that helped to manage a serious flooding issue on the<br />

football field this past spring. Due to heavy rains the football field was under water for a period


<strong>of</strong> time. With the help <strong>of</strong> the Sewer Department we were able to locate the clogs in the drainage<br />

system and repair them.<br />

The multi-use complex at Lemansky Park was also in high demand. Adult, youth and<br />

town athletic leagues were scheduled to provide maximum use <strong>of</strong> this facility. With the addition<br />

<strong>of</strong> the new high school fields, the Parks Commissioners were able to accommodate new leagues<br />

(youth lacrosse and fall baseball) that have been formed in town.<br />

The Parks Commission continues to work closely with other town departments,<br />

specifically the Recreation Department. This past winter our department (in conjunction with the<br />

Recreation Department) erected a public skating arena located behind the West Street Fire<br />

Station. We also assisted in providing infrastructure (power, booths) etc. for the Family Fun<br />

Festival that was held in October at Lemansky Park. We have also assisted, with manpower and<br />

infrastructure, for the town’s annual Fourth <strong>of</strong> July celebration. We are currently utilizing Camp<br />

Gleason for many Recreation Department activities. Preschool playgroups were held at this<br />

facility several times per week in addition to watercolor painting classes and weight management<br />

classes. We are hopeful that in the future Camp Gleason can be retr<strong>of</strong>itted to accommodate<br />

additional Recreation Department activities such as youth and adult fitness classes and<br />

equipment.<br />

In closing, the Parks Commissioners remain committed to being able to continue to <strong>of</strong>fer<br />

optimum playing surfaces under the town’s current economic constraints.<br />

<strong>Town</strong> Engineer<br />

It is my pleasure to submit to you this year's annual report. During 2009, I worked with<br />

the Highway Department to construct the Barbara Avenue and Marion Avenue drainage<br />

improvements. With the construction experience and hard work <strong>of</strong> the highway employees, not<br />

to mention the patience <strong>of</strong> the residents who were directly affected by the project, we were able<br />

to finish the drainage work and provide much needed relief to the residents in that neighborhood.<br />

This drainage improvement project required the installation <strong>of</strong> 700 feet <strong>of</strong> 36” drainage pipe, 10<br />

precast concrete manholes and 4 catch basins. The <strong>Town</strong> recognized a substantial savings by<br />

performing this work with our employees. During the end <strong>of</strong> the construction season we initiated<br />

another drainage improvement project on Warwick Street. This project involved removing and<br />

installing 500 feet <strong>of</strong> 12” drainage pipe.<br />

At the time <strong>of</strong> this writing, I am preparing the Chapter 90 resurfacing contract for several<br />

roads in <strong>Town</strong>. This contract should go out to bid this winter for construction to begin in the<br />

spring <strong>of</strong> 2010. The following roads are expected to be completed:


Appleton Road: Route 12 to Prospect St.<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> Street: Oxford St. North to I-290.<br />

Aurilla Street : Hampton St. to Warwick St.<br />

Aurilla Court: Aurilla St. to end.<br />

Hardscrabble Road: Various sections.<br />

Warwick Street : Aurilla St. to Worcester line.<br />

West Street: Turnpike overpass to 50 ft. north <strong>of</strong> Hardscrabble Rd.<br />

Rockland Road: <strong>Auburn</strong> St. to Boyce St.<br />

In addition, sections <strong>of</strong> Bryn Mawr Ave, Leicester Street and Rochdale Steet will have an<br />

asphalt leveling course and/or chip seal applied.<br />

As <strong>Town</strong> Central Massachusetts Metropolitan Planning Organization to secure funding<br />

for the reconstruction <strong>of</strong> Millbury Street from Route 20 to the Highway Department. The project<br />

is at the 100% design stage and is estimated at over one million dollars. This project is shovel<br />

ready and construction can move forward once the funding is in place.<br />

The reconstruction <strong>of</strong> the Route 12 Veterans Memorial Corridor is nearing completion.<br />

There are four parks honoring our veterans, these parks are located at the Route 12 intersections<br />

with Route 20, Prospect Street, Water Street and Church Street. The construction <strong>of</strong> these parks<br />

are expected to be completed in the spring. I would like to thank the members <strong>of</strong> the Veterans<br />

Memorial Committee for their time and hard work dedicated to this project, which will surely be<br />

a landmark for the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong>.<br />

The <strong>Town</strong> Planner and I have worked closely with the Alternative Energy Committee to<br />

evaluate the possibility <strong>of</strong> erecting a wind turbine in <strong>Auburn</strong>. The <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> was recently<br />

awarded a grant for $85,000 to study the feasibility <strong>of</strong> the wind turbine. If not for the hard work<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Alternative Energy Committee, the <strong>Town</strong> would not have received this grant.<br />

The next phase <strong>of</strong> Route 12 improvements is currently at the 25% design level. This<br />

project will rehabilitate the Route 12/20 overlap extending into the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> Oxford. The project<br />

is expected to cost $4.5 million dollars and funding has been secured. A public hearing will be<br />

scheduled in the upcoming months to update the residents on the project.<br />

The <strong>Town</strong> Engineer is also responsible for ensuring the <strong>Town</strong> owned dams are inspected<br />

as required by the Office <strong>of</strong> Dam Safety. Repairs to <strong>Auburn</strong> Pond dam were completed in 2009<br />

and the Eddy Pond dam design is also complete. In the next few months, the <strong>Town</strong> will solicit<br />

bids for the rehabilitation <strong>of</strong> Eddy Pond dam, with construction to begin in the spring 2010. I<br />

have worked closely with the Leesville Pond Association and the <strong>Auburn</strong> Highway Department<br />

to conduct annual draw-downs <strong>of</strong> Leesville Pond, as part <strong>of</strong> an overall plan to control aquatic<br />

weeds. Additionally, Eddy Pond and Pondville Pond were treated for aquatic weeds by an<br />

environmental consultant in 2009.<br />

As a member <strong>of</strong> the stormwater committee, I have worked closely with other <strong>Town</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong>ficials to ensure compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National<br />

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. As part <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong>'s effort to comply<br />

with EPA's mandate, a stormwater management bylaw was passed at the fall <strong>Town</strong> Meeting. In<br />

the up coming months, the stormwater committee will conduct public meetings as we develop<br />

the stormwater regulations.<br />

The post-closure monitoring for the landfill was performed in 2009. The test results and<br />

subsequent reports were completed and forwarded to the Department <strong>of</strong> Environmental<br />

Protection.


As <strong>Town</strong> Engineer, I review site plans and subdivision designs to ensure compliance with<br />

Federal, State, and local requirements. I am also responsible for performing construction<br />

inspections for all phases <strong>of</strong> a subdivision's roadway construction.<br />

In closing, I would like to thank the residents <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> for their continued support and I<br />

look forward to a successful 2010.<br />

COMBINED TOTAL REVENUES $116,908.25 $136,193.00<br />

The last couple <strong>of</strong> years have seen a drastic decline in the nations economy. The<br />

construction industry and new housing market have been hit hard, which has impacted <strong>Auburn</strong>.<br />

In 2008 559 permits were issued compared to 445 in 2009. The only increase in permits issued<br />

was related to residential additions and renovations with an increase <strong>of</strong> 265 permits compared to<br />

232 last year. The increase was mostly related to re-ro<strong>of</strong>ing, siding and renovations to provide<br />

added living space for senior members <strong>of</strong> families. Residential new homes declined from 16<br />

single family in 2008 and 11 issued in 2009. I foresee this number dropping unless the economy<br />

turns around.<br />

Although the permits across the spectrum had taken a dip over the last year, the revenues<br />

generated an increase slightly from $116,908.25 in 2008 to $136,193 in 2009. The only major<br />

construction was the demolition <strong>of</strong> the former industrial complex on 26 Southbridge Street and<br />

the rebuilding <strong>of</strong> the warehouse and distribution facility now occupied by Polar Beverage<br />

Company. The former building <strong>of</strong> Rexnord was deteriorated beyond the point <strong>of</strong> economical<br />

repair and had numerous code violations due to the deterioration <strong>of</strong> the structure. The rebuilding<br />

<strong>of</strong> the structure is an asset to the <strong>Town</strong>.<br />

Jasmine Asian Restaurant opened this year at the T.J. Maxx West <strong>Auburn</strong> Shopping<br />

Plaza after an extensive renovation to the former I Party retail space. The former Quality Pizza is<br />

housing a new Nail Salon also at the West <strong>Auburn</strong> Plaza.<br />

Aspen Dental completed renovations adjacent to Starbucks C<strong>of</strong>fee, 426 Southbridge<br />

Street and Frank & Nancy’s Restaurant completed renovation at 85 South Street for a breakfast<br />

and lunch food establishment which opened this past year.<br />

Some <strong>of</strong> the other commercial renovations and new business uses were completed in the<br />

Reisner Industrial Park on Sword Street. Westec Industrial Park <strong>of</strong>f Route 20 completed a new<br />

heavy equipment sale and repair facility for Starcat LLC #6 Westec Drive. The Roman Catholic<br />

Diocese completed renovations to the former Saint Edmonds Center at 68 Central Street.<br />

Emerson Realty has continued to construct the subdivision on Bridle Path Lane with the<br />

completion <strong>of</strong> 6 new single family dwellings along with Revane Development on Briarcliff Road<br />

Subdivision with 4 new homes.<br />

I would like to thank my secretary, Ruth Sherman Strong who has diligently worked hard<br />

to keep up the pace <strong>of</strong> the building department in spite <strong>of</strong> her part time position. Ruth has<br />

devoted much <strong>of</strong> her own personal time in helping the department incorporate the new and<br />

complicated data tracking system that we now have in place. My department would have been at<br />

a loss without her help and knowledge. Thanks again Ruth!<br />

My thanks also go to Paula Rossik, Board <strong>of</strong> Health Secretary who has devoted so<br />

much <strong>of</strong> her time in dealing with the Building Department responsibilities along with the Board<br />

<strong>of</strong> Health. Paula has been the anchor to our ship in Ruth's and my absence. Thank you both for<br />

your effort. My thanks goes out to all the other <strong>Town</strong> Departments who provide assistance<br />

through the year. Your efforts do not go unappreciated.<br />

Plumbing, Wiring and Weights and Measures permits and revenues have also taken a<br />

slight dip due to the economy decline in building construction. I wish to extend my thanks to<br />

Edward Gilmartin, Plumbing and Gas Inspector, Kevin Ouelette, Assistant Plumbing Inspector,<br />

Thomas Keller, Wiring Inspector, David DelaGorgendiere, Assistant Wiring Inspector and


Ronald Valinski, Weights and Measures Inspector. You all have done a wonderful job fulfilling<br />

the inspector's requirements and dealing with the problems associated with the positions.<br />

Respectfully submitted,<br />

Board <strong>of</strong> Health<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Health Mission<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Health, through education, health surveillance, maintenance<br />

inspections, response investigations, and implementation <strong>of</strong> preventative health and<br />

environmental programs; strives to establish, maintain, promote and improve a safer and<br />

healthier quality <strong>of</strong> life in the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong>.<br />

In memory<br />

Cynthia Pacek sat on the <strong>Auburn</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Health from 1986 to 2009. Cynthia dedicated<br />

herself to the betterment <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> through 23 years <strong>of</strong> direct involvement serving several<br />

Boards commissions and positions <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong> including volunteering at the senior center, and<br />

serving on the Emergency Planning Committee, the Personnel Board, and, most ardently, the<br />

Board <strong>of</strong> Health.<br />

In April 2009, Mrs. Cynthia Pacek passed away, the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> lost a friend.<br />

Staff<br />

2009 endured significant changes and challenge to the staffing <strong>of</strong> the department <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Board <strong>of</strong> Health.<br />

The secretary to the <strong>Auburn</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Health, Paula Rossik, remains the constant in the<br />

<strong>of</strong>fice. Three directors, 7 inspectors and 9 board members have had the pleasure <strong>of</strong> working with<br />

Paula across 23 years.<br />

Andrew Pelletier will begin his tenth year with the <strong>Town</strong>, eight as Director <strong>of</strong> Public<br />

Health.<br />

After 2 years without an animal inspector, the Board <strong>of</strong> Health welcomed Sheila Donahue<br />

as a contract position. Sheila’s experience comes through her current position as animal inspector<br />

for the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> Oxford. Unfortunately, since she is a contract position and she holds a full time<br />

job elsewhere; Sheila’s accessibility will be limited; she will be available to the <strong>Town</strong> only<br />

during <strong>of</strong>f hours.<br />

The Board <strong>of</strong> Health anticipates working with town management to investigate<br />

possibilities <strong>of</strong> accessing resources to better respond to the needs <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong>, to better afford the<br />

citizens <strong>of</strong> the town access to the services <strong>of</strong> this position.<br />

After a competitive and spirited selection process in which four finalists were considered<br />

and screened, Mr. Raymond Gauthier was appointed to fill the vacant seat on the Board <strong>of</strong><br />

Health. Upon appointment and an immediate reorganization, Ray was promptly elected as acting<br />

chair <strong>of</strong> the Board. Ray came to the Board with impressive credentials in food service and in<br />

pest control. Since accepting the seat, Ray’s eagerness to acquire knowledge has driven and<br />

enhanced his contribution to other pertinent public health actions and responses.<br />

After only 5 years on the Board <strong>of</strong> Health, Marion Howard remains the only sitting<br />

member from her first appointment in 2005. Marion came with strengths in medical health and


education as well as practical experience in clinics and administering public health from the<br />

medical side.<br />

Marion continues to expand her knowledge through exposure to the vast extent <strong>of</strong> public<br />

health issues and concerns including environmental health, nuisance investigation, Sanitary Code<br />

issues, and policy and regulation development. May 2010 will complete Marion’s second term.<br />

Vacancies:<br />

Vice Chair <strong>of</strong> the Board <strong>of</strong> Health – After three years serving the Board <strong>of</strong> Health and<br />

soon after his re-election Paul Marrone tendered his resignation citing personal issues. Legal<br />

ratification and confirmation regarding adoption <strong>of</strong> the amended <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> Charter caused<br />

the vacant Board seat to be left unfilled.<br />

Health Inspector – As with the Vice Chair position, appointment <strong>of</strong> the Health Inspector<br />

suffered a delay due to the ratification <strong>of</strong> the Charter.<br />

The Board <strong>of</strong> Health will work closely with town administration to identify and fill<br />

staffing to accomplish the mandates and duties expected <strong>of</strong> the Department and required to<br />

ensure minimum standards for a healthy and safe environment.<br />

Challenges Faced in 2009<br />

Department Self Review<br />

In March, faced with severe economic times, the Board <strong>of</strong> Health undertook a complete<br />

re-assessment <strong>of</strong> the priorities and operations <strong>of</strong> the department. This review was an attempt to<br />

identify means to apply available resources to maximize our efforts to protect public health,<br />

safety and quality <strong>of</strong> life within the means afforded by the current and anticipated era <strong>of</strong> minimal<br />

resources.<br />

The resulting report, issued on April 14, 2009, identified state mandates levied on local<br />

Boards <strong>of</strong> Health, determined an inspection timetable for licensed facilities, and defined other<br />

beneficial programs and services <strong>of</strong>fered by the <strong>Auburn</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Health. Based on the demands<br />

revealed by this study as compared to available resources, the Board <strong>of</strong> Health established a plan<br />

prioritizing duties and establishing minimally acceptable goals for the <strong>of</strong>fice to best serve the<br />

citizens.<br />

The plan as presented has been modified as unexpected situations have arisen but the<br />

basic goals have been maintained.<br />

By adjusting the operating budget <strong>of</strong> the department the Board <strong>of</strong> Health looks to reinstitute<br />

some <strong>of</strong> the services abandoned by the plan without further hardship on the resources <strong>of</strong><br />

the town.<br />

H1N1:<br />

Unfortunately, the benefits <strong>of</strong> efficient transportation and the sharing <strong>of</strong> cultures through<br />

blurring <strong>of</strong> national borders as barriers bring opportunity to also share malady.<br />

In May 2009 Mexico introduced H1N1 or Swine Flu to the United States. H1N1 is a<br />

novel flu that targets the youth. The majority <strong>of</strong> confirmed cases in the United States occurred in<br />

youths less than 19 years <strong>of</strong> age. This disease quickly propagated to a pandemic as defined by the<br />

World Health Organization.<br />

The Centers for Disease Control and State Departments <strong>of</strong> Public Health launched an<br />

attack on the disease. Through local boards <strong>of</strong> Health vaccine was made available and<br />

administered to the public.<br />

By the close <strong>of</strong> 2009, the <strong>Auburn</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Health, working in cooperation with the<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> schools and various other partners had vaccinated almost 10% <strong>of</strong> the town’s population


against H1N1. This number represents unprecedented success; previous rates <strong>of</strong> vaccination for<br />

seasonal flu clinics have administered prophylaxes to around 4-5%. Efforts are ongoing, by the<br />

height <strong>of</strong> flu season the Board predicts that close to 20% <strong>of</strong> the population <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> will be<br />

protected against H1N1 through vaccination.<br />

EDS Development<br />

Federal Homeland Security has directed that, in the event <strong>of</strong> a release <strong>of</strong> a toxin or<br />

detection <strong>of</strong> a critical disease, the United States must be prepared to administer preventative<br />

vaccination or prophylaxis to the population within seventy-two hours.<br />

In 2009 the Board <strong>of</strong> Health took opportunity to run several practices <strong>of</strong> their Emergency<br />

Dispensing Site (EDS). Through these exercises the department has identified and corrected<br />

weaknesses, in some cases completely restructuring the plan.<br />

The plan for Emergency Dispensing is now functional. The <strong>Auburn</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Health is<br />

confident that, if an event should be detected we are capable <strong>of</strong> administering vaccine to the<br />

population <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> within 48 hours <strong>of</strong> notification. Final draft <strong>of</strong> this revised plan will be<br />

completed in 2010.<br />

Other Beneficial Ongoing Programs<br />

BT Region II:<br />

This partnership continues to assist the Board <strong>of</strong> Health in both funding and consulting<br />

staff to enhance education opportunities and develop emergency planning. The <strong>Auburn</strong> Director<br />

<strong>of</strong> Public Health continues his leadership roll on the executive committee for this organization.<br />

Tobacco Control:<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong>’s tobacco control efforts are coordinated through continued involvement with the<br />

Worcester Tobacco Control Collaborative. Through this Regional coalition <strong>Auburn</strong> exercises<br />

tobacco enforcement, tobacco retailers can access education and outlets are audited for underage/<br />

illegal sales.<br />

Mercury<br />

Mercury is an environmentally and medically detrimental element that is completely<br />

controllable because it is 100% recyclable and reusable. <strong>Auburn</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Health, in cooperation<br />

with Waste Management-Wheelabrator, collects and diverts mercury containing thermometers,<br />

switches, thermostats, and other devices from landfills and incinerators to recycle centers.<br />

Other Ongoing Programs<br />

• Co-sponsored a downsized flu and influenza immunization clinic for <strong>Auburn</strong>’s seniors.<br />

• Distribution <strong>of</strong> biological and diagnostic test kits.<br />

• Distributed health and environmental educational/ informational pamphlets and numerous<br />

Permits and Licenses<br />

• Department <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Auburn</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Health issues permits and licenses and conducts sanitary<br />

inspections to protect public health and prevent outbreak <strong>of</strong> preventable diseases. The <strong>of</strong>fice<br />

issued 505 permits/ licenses, down 1% from 2008's 595 issuances. This resulted in a 22%<br />

revenue decrease to $52,206.00.<br />

Housing and Environmental Investigations<br />

With whatever diligence the Board <strong>of</strong> Health applies there will always occur unpreventable<br />

incidents that require intervention by the Department <strong>of</strong> Public Health to curtail<br />

public health threats. In 2009 the Board <strong>of</strong> Health responded to 61 housing and environmental<br />

complaints. The Board incurred enforcement actions including Orders, fines and court actions to<br />

resolve 58 with 3 events ongoing.<br />

Communicable Disease Investigation<br />

A total <strong>of</strong> 34 communicable/ reportable diseases were reported and investigated for the year<br />

2009.<br />

Chicken pox 1 Giardia 1<br />

Amebiasis 1 Lyme Disease 16<br />

Cryptosporidiosis 1 Campylobacter 2<br />

Streptococcus 3 Hepatitus C 6<br />

Viral Meningitus 1 Influenza 2


The Board <strong>of</strong> Health wishes to thank <strong>Auburn</strong> District Nurses for their diligence and<br />

assistance in investigating these cases.<br />

As always, the Board <strong>of</strong> Health encourages participation in and comments concerning the<br />

activities <strong>of</strong> the department. Our mission to enhance quality <strong>of</strong> life can best be achieved with<br />

input from those we serve. Volunteers are always welcome.<br />

The Board <strong>of</strong> Health usually meets every second and fourth Monday at 4:30 p.m. in the<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Health Office, Second Floor, <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> <strong>Town</strong> Hall. Meetings are announced<br />

The Board wishes to thank other boards, committees, departments, agencies and<br />

individuals for their continued cooperation and assistance.<br />

Council on Aging<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> Council on Aging seeks to meet the needs <strong>of</strong> the elder population; including<br />

the problems <strong>of</strong> health, housing, education, income, social welfare, legislation, community<br />

service and recreation. The mission <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Auburn</strong> Council on Aging is to promote the health<br />

total needs <strong>of</strong> the elder population, educating the community about those needs, and advocating<br />

and implementing services to fill those needs, either alone or in conjunction with other agencies<br />

involved with elders. This population currently represents more than 20% <strong>of</strong> the total population<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong>.<br />

Continued reductions and changes in both state and federal funding, due to huge budget<br />

$310,003. We are grateful for the continual work done for the center by the Parks Department<br />

and Highway Department for plowing, sanding, shoveling and lawn maintenance services as well<br />

as other town departments that provide the center with amenities, which we could not otherwise<br />

afford.<br />

Once again, the <strong>Auburn</strong> Parks Department, Cub Scout Pack 53, and the Farmer’s<br />

Daughter provided labor and plantings for landscaping to the grounds <strong>of</strong> the senior center.<br />

The <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> has provided the Council on Aging with an operating budget <strong>of</strong><br />

$126,416. Of this amount the town is reimbursed $29,586 by the WRTA. The <strong>Town</strong><br />

receives a State Formula Grant for $25,312. Christina Silpe successfully applied for and<br />

received $1,200 from the St. Vincent Healthcare Fund for a ‘Rides for Health’ grant, as well<br />

as a $1,000 Van Subsidy from the Southbridge Credit Union.<br />

With an anticipated increase in the 85 plus population over the next ten years our services are<br />

becoming more critical to the survival <strong>of</strong> our elder population.<br />

Solid Waste Advisory Committee<br />

The Solid Waste Advisory Committee met throughout 2009 to discuss options for the<br />

curbside and solid waste and recycling hauling contract, which expires in 2010. The committee<br />

voted unanimously to recommend continuing with our current hauler, Central Mass Disposal<br />

(CMD) for the next five years.<br />

The SWAC was awarded an “in-kind” grant from the Massachusetts Department <strong>of</strong><br />

Environmental Protection for the dedicated assistance <strong>of</strong> the Central Mass Regional Municipal<br />

Assistance Coordinator, Irene Congdon. With assistance from Irene, the SWAC researched<br />

recycling and solid waste disposal program options and reviewed applicable financial models. In<br />

December, the SWAC presented their findings to the Board <strong>of</strong> Selectmen, which voted for a new<br />

recycling and solid waste program under contract with CMD. The SWAC appreciated the input<br />

from Irene Congdon, and looks forward to working with her on the rollout <strong>of</strong> this new program.<br />

The new contract will include residential curbside pickup <strong>of</strong> trash and recycling using<br />

two wheeled bins, or “toters.” The green toters currently used for trash will be switched to the<br />

recycling bins, and CMD will deliver new brown toters for trash. Once the new toters arrive,<br />

recycling will be collected as “single-stream,” which means that all recyclable items can be<br />

placed together in the green toter.<br />

The Committee would also like to thank <strong>Auburn</strong>’s Director <strong>of</strong> Public Health, Andrew<br />

Pelletier, for his assistance with the new contract. Andy attended many <strong>of</strong> our meetings,<br />

contributed pertinent information, and conducted research on behalf <strong>of</strong> the SWAC while dealing<br />

with the outbreak <strong>of</strong> the H1N1 flu.<br />

Although the current contract expires on June 30, 2010, CMD will begin our new service<br />

in April, enabling the <strong>Town</strong> to realize benefits from the new recycling program three months<br />

earlier.<br />

The Solid Waste Advisory Committee looks forward to implementing the new curbside<br />

program, and continuing our efforts to increase recycling and reduce solid waste in <strong>Auburn</strong>.<br />

Cemetery Department<br />

In 2009 the Cemetery Department welcomed Kenneth Ethier as a new member to the<br />

commission, replacing Benjamin Britton, who passed in his resignation on January 12, 2009.<br />

In October, we had the loss <strong>of</strong> our second commissioner, John David Briggs.<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> Cemetery Department had a tough year with the loss <strong>of</strong> two commissioner’s, budget<br />

cuts, and many repairs.<br />

Jason Sciarappa and Raymond Robichaud proved themselves with all the mechanical work that<br />

they have had to do this year. The injector pump on the backhoe was rebuilt, brakes, starters, batteries<br />

amongst other things on the dump trucks as well as the mowers to name a few. They were able to keep<br />

the costs down to a minimum as the equipment is starting to age.


We also had repairs on the park benches as well as the trim on our <strong>of</strong>fice building.<br />

2010 has to be a better year.<br />

During the year 2009 there were the following interments in <strong>Auburn</strong>.<br />

Cemetery Commissioners<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> Cemetery Commission met regularly throughout 2009 to oversee the operations <strong>of</strong><br />

the <strong>Auburn</strong>’s cemeteries. Of the four cemeteries, Hillside, Center, West <strong>Auburn</strong> and Clark, only<br />

Hillside Cemetery remains active. The other three cemeteries are essentially historic cemeteries.<br />

We continue to seek additional land contiguous to Hillside Cemetery to provide space for future<br />

burials. We explore new ways to provide all essential services in a beautiful setting, in a changing<br />

environment within the fiscal constraints <strong>of</strong> the times. We try to remain informed about new burial<br />

practices and needs in our society.<br />

The Commission lost two commissioners in 2009. Benjamin Britton retired and John David<br />

Briggs died. Their long time service to the Commission and to the Department was greatly appreciated.<br />

Kenneth Ethier was appointed to the Commission.<br />

We deeply appreciate the efforts <strong>of</strong> our staff. Superintendent Wayne Bloomquist, Raymond<br />

Robichaud, and Jason Sciarappa to maintain our cemeteries and memorials at peace, beauty and<br />

serenity.<br />

Respectfully submitted,<br />

Department <strong>of</strong> Recreation and Culture<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> Recreation and Culture Department was established March 1, 2006 to provide<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essional leadership to enrich the lives <strong>of</strong> the citizens <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> through quality<br />

programming. Its main mission is to develop diversified year round activity programs for all age<br />

populations by cooperating with all entities, organizations, groups and residents in developing,<br />

supervising and implementing public recreation and culture.<br />

Creating awareness <strong>of</strong> the Recreation and Culture Department can reduce health care<br />

costs nationwide, can help reduce vandalism and crime, can generate revenue, can improve a<br />

more productive workforce and can improve the cognitive and academic performance <strong>of</strong> children<br />

and can strengthen the family unit and community. Monthly meetings are held at the <strong>Auburn</strong><br />

High School the fourth Wednesday <strong>of</strong> the month live through <strong>Auburn</strong> Cable TV. The Recreation<br />

and Culture Committee has thirteen members that meet to discuss and plan monthly events for<br />

the community as well as daily activities for the community. We raise awareness to the multiple<br />

programs that are <strong>of</strong>fered through the Recreation and Culture Department to the community at a<br />

nominal cost.<br />

The Recreation and Culture Department <strong>of</strong>fers many different programs including parent<br />

toddler classes, a lunch break program for preschool and kindergarten children and a watercolor<br />

painting class for adults at Camp Gleason. Thank you to Doctors Martha and Arthur Pappas for<br />

their donation to the <strong>Auburn</strong> High School. Because <strong>of</strong> their generosity we have fitness classes<br />

five days a week, as well as men’s and women’s basketball, coed unified basketball, volleyball,<br />

kids night out and family night. All <strong>of</strong> these programs require a nominal fee to <strong>of</strong>fset costs for<br />

instructors. We also <strong>of</strong>fer zumba through the Recreation and Culture Department. We <strong>of</strong>fer a<br />

running club on Sunday mornings at the <strong>Auburn</strong> High School with three courses, beginner,<br />

intermediate and advanced. We <strong>of</strong>fer stroller strides, a fitness workout with your baby, baking<br />

class, french cooking, spin class, dodgeball, craft classes for children and adults. We also <strong>of</strong>fer<br />

seasonal tennis lessons, flag rugby, youth lacrosse, youth coed summer basketball league and<br />

high school girls summer league. We provide a quality eight week summer program for children<br />

ages six to thirteen years. This year through the help <strong>of</strong> the Cultural Council we received 2<br />

grants. The first grant was for a multimedia presentation with Tom Ingrassia, the second grant is<br />

for a summer theater camp.<br />

The Recreation and Culture Department put on its second annual Fall Festival and we are<br />

looking forward to a second annual Chili/Chowder Festival. We are hosting the Special<br />

Olympics Massachusetts at the <strong>Auburn</strong> High School for the second year and have included the<br />

Daisies, Girl Scouts, Student Council, <strong>Auburn</strong> Middle School and <strong>Auburn</strong> High School<br />

Basketball teams, <strong>Auburn</strong> Varsity Cheerleaders, <strong>Auburn</strong> Varsity Hockey Team, Winter Track,<br />

Elks, Rotary, First Congregational Church and Pakachoag Church in addition to many people in<br />

the community.<br />

We had an event Light Up <strong>Auburn</strong> with 23 houses and 1 business, again bringing the<br />

community together at very little cost for the celebration that was held at Faith Baptist Church.<br />

The Recreation and Culture Department hosted the Independence Day Celebration with a<br />

bike race, road race, doll carriage, bike and clown contest, decorated pet contest, field games,<br />

parade with over 150 Shriners, and over 50 vendors including many nonpr<strong>of</strong>it organizations, live<br />

entertainment and fireworks. By advertising our upcoming programs and events in the <strong>Auburn</strong><br />

News, Cable Channel, posters and lawn signs around town, we have increased awareness <strong>of</strong>, and<br />

participation in, our programs. Recreation events have been photographed and written up in


<strong>Auburn</strong> and Worcester newspapers. Recreation Committee Meetings have also generated interest<br />

and excitement, resulting in multiple inquiries to join the committee. The Board <strong>of</strong> Selectmen<br />

approved 4 additional committee members, which have already been filled.<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> Recreation and Culture truly brings the community together to make our town a<br />

place to be proud and special place to live.<br />

Respectfully,<br />

Library Director<br />

In this my twenty-second and final report as Director <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Auburn</strong> Public Library, I<br />

would like to thank the Library Trustees and staff, the staff <strong>of</strong> the other <strong>Town</strong> departments and<br />

the citizens <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> for their support over the last twenty-nine years through good times and<br />

bad.<br />

Feeling nostalgic, I decided to re-read my first report from 1988 to see what was<br />

happening then. The card catalog was still being maintained, but the online catalog was on the<br />

horizon. The <strong>Auburn</strong> History Room and the Young Adult area were in the planning stages. The<br />

record-breaking circulation for that year was 150,997. APL loaned 300 items to other libraries<br />

for their patrons’ use and borrowed 160 items for APL users. To see how amazingly low those<br />

figures are, read about 2009. Not everything was different though: Receipt <strong>of</strong> grant funds was<br />

delayed by the State’s financial difficulties.<br />

Back to the Future<br />

2009 was one <strong>of</strong> the most challenging years because <strong>of</strong> the worsening economic situation.<br />

Budget freezes continued. During the FY 2010 budget process the possibility was raised that<br />

APL might need to close one day each week or entirely. Fortunately, neither <strong>of</strong> those drastic<br />

measures was necessary and the FY 2010 budget was funded at the exact amount needed to<br />

qualify for State Aid to Libraries. FY 2009 State Aid was received in installments, but at least<br />

the full amount did arrive eventually. As the year ended, the fate <strong>of</strong> the Central Massachusetts<br />

Regional Library System (CMRLS), funded by the State, was uncertain. One <strong>of</strong> the reasons<br />

CMRLS is important to APL is because it handles the delivery <strong>of</strong> all those thousands <strong>of</strong> library<br />

materials borrowed from other libraries every year for the use <strong>of</strong> APL’s patrons.<br />

Creating Access: FY 2011-2013<br />

During 2009 it was time to update APL’s strategic plan for the next three fiscal years. To<br />

obtain input from the <strong>Auburn</strong> community a survey was created. With the help <strong>of</strong> staff at the<br />

College <strong>of</strong> the Holy Cross, that survey was made available online. Since the Library’s website<br />

was not working, links to the survey were placed on both <strong>of</strong> APL’s blogs. Bookmarks were<br />

distributed at the Circulation Desk to alert patrons about the survey and to give them the web<br />

address for the blog. Circulation staff also urged patrons to complete either the paper or online<br />

survey. 178 paper copies <strong>of</strong> the survey were mailed to elected and appointed <strong>of</strong>ficials. In all,<br />

114 surveys were completed. For the most part the responses were very positive. There were


many compliments about the staff and the collection, although there were many requests for<br />

more DVDs and new fiction. Not surprisingly, the biggest area <strong>of</strong> dissatisfaction concerned the<br />

building. Recommendations from the survey responses have been incorporated into “Creating<br />

Access: <strong>Auburn</strong> Public Library FY 2011-2013,” the new strategic plan.<br />

Thanks are due to everyone who took the time to complete a survey.<br />

New APL Facility<br />

Although the Board <strong>of</strong> Selectmen approved putting the Proposition 2 ½ debt exclusion<br />

question for funding the construction <strong>of</strong> a new library building on the May 2009 ballot, the<br />

Trustees reluctantly asked them to remove the question once it became clear that the possibility<br />

<strong>of</strong> a favorable vote was deteriorating with the economy. The Provisional Construction Grant<br />

Award letter had stated that without a favorable vote by December 31, 2009 the Construction<br />

Grant <strong>of</strong> $4,188,822 would be lost. The Trustees requested from the Massachusetts Board <strong>of</strong><br />

Library Commissioners an extension <strong>of</strong> that deadline until June 15, 2010. The extension has<br />

been granted. If that deadline passes without a favorable vote, APL’s only recourse will be to<br />

apply again when another Massachusetts Public Library Construction Grant round is announced.<br />

Current APL Facility<br />

The most serious problem with the current facility continues to be the lack <strong>of</strong> space for<br />

twenty-first century library services.<br />

During 2009 two sections <strong>of</strong> the boiler had to be replaced because they were cracked and<br />

allowing steam to escape. A corroded heating valve also had to be replaced and the circulator for<br />

the hot water needed to be repaired.<br />

The deteriorating garage door was replaced.<br />

Because <strong>of</strong> the budget freezes, the cracks in the parking lot had not been repaired for two<br />

years. That project could not be put <strong>of</strong>f any longer and took place in the summer. The carpeting<br />

was not shampooed again this year due to the budget freezes.<br />

Thanks are due to the Parks and Highway departments once again for doing their usual<br />

great job keeping the Library grounds mowed and plowed.<br />

The Big Read<br />

Due to budget constraints “<strong>Auburn</strong> Reads Together” did not take place in April as it had<br />

for the last three years. Instead APL accepted the invitation <strong>of</strong> the University <strong>of</strong> Massachusetts<br />

Medical School to join them, the Worcester Public Library and the Worcester Public Schools in<br />

“The Big Read,” a program funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in<br />

partnership with the Institute <strong>of</strong> Museum and Library Services. The grant provided signs and<br />

discussion guides. The featured book was The Adventures <strong>of</strong> Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.<br />

In 2009, 148,064 books were borrowed to account for 71% <strong>of</strong> the 2009 circulation. Adult<br />

book circulation rose to 82,534, the highest it has been since the three-week loan was adopted in<br />

2002. Most types <strong>of</strong> Adult books showed higher circulation - general fiction, mysteries, science<br />

fiction, non-fiction and large print books. The trend away from cassettes towards discs continued<br />

in 2009. Almost three times as many DVDs (22,784) as VHS videos (8,695) were borrowed.<br />

9,591 music compact discs were borrowed as compared to 384 music cassettes. 9,307 books on<br />

compact disc were loaned as compared to 2,024 books on cassette.<br />

2009 marked the eighth full year <strong>of</strong> patron-placed holds, although staff will still place the<br />

holds if patrons prefer. The chart shown above illustrates the circulation <strong>of</strong> APL’s materials<br />

either at APL or at another library. APL staff processed and sent 21,226 items to other libraries<br />

for use by their patrons. Although the circulation <strong>of</strong> these items is reflected in the total above,<br />

the extra work required to retrieve and package them for travel to other libraries is not. During<br />

2009 APL staff also processed 17,430 items from other libraries for use by APL’s patrons. This<br />

figure is not included in the chart above. Because APL has for many years loaned more items<br />

than it has borrowed through interlibrary loan, it has qualified for the ILL Net Lender<br />

Reimbursement program from the State and the Central Massachusetts Regional Library System,<br />

when that funding has been available. In 2009 APL received $5,235 deposited into its C/W<br />

MARS account as a result <strong>of</strong> its lending activity. The gap between what APL loans and borrows<br />

via the “holds” system is getting smaller. For this reason and because <strong>of</strong> the uncertainty <strong>of</strong> State<br />

finances and the fate <strong>of</strong> CMRLS, these funds may not be available in the future. CMRLS<br />

continued to deliver “holds” materials to and from <strong>Auburn</strong> six days per week. Staff also<br />

processed 3,644 “holds” (formerly called reserves) on APL’s own materials for the use <strong>of</strong> APL’s<br />

patrons.<br />

In 2009 C/W MARS introduced s<strong>of</strong>tware, which allows library users to pay for fines and<br />

lost or damaged materials online using a credit card. APL has received payment for some very<br />

long lost items since this system was instituted. Library users can also make donations to their<br />

favorite C/W MARS library using this online system.<br />

Library users are able to check their own borrowing record, to renew borrowed materials,<br />

pay for fines and lost items and create wish lists from <strong>Auburn</strong>’s online catalog, which may be<br />

accessed from auburnmalibrary.blogspot.com or www.cwmars.org if the APL website<br />

www.auburnlibrary.org is not available, as it was not for all <strong>of</strong> 2009 due to technical difficulties<br />

with the <strong>Town</strong>’s server. Thanks are due to Children’s Librarian Renee Bichan for creating the<br />

blog to serve as a temporary replacement for the website.<br />

Online Resources<br />

APL staff handled 10,584 Reference questions in 2009, using both printed and digital<br />

resources.<br />

The Massachusetts Board <strong>of</strong> Library Commissioners and CMRLS continued their<br />

commitment to provide access to online databases for Massachusetts residents. During 2009 the<br />

Infotrac databases were searched 13,650 times at APL and 1,859 times by APL users from<br />

remote locations. APL users searched the Proquest Massachusetts Newsstand database 2,692<br />

times for articles in the Boston Globe, the Boston Herald, the Worcester Telegram and Gazette<br />

and other major Massachusetts newspapers as well as the New York Times.<br />

C/W MARS continued to provide NoveList, Facts on File: Science Online and Grove<br />

Art Online to its member libraries, as well as African-American History Online, American<br />

History Online and American Women Online.


C/W MARS also continues to expand the collection <strong>of</strong> E-books, audio books and videos<br />

in its downloadable digital collection. In September C/W MARS sponsored the visit <strong>of</strong> the<br />

OverDrive Digital Bookmobile to APL’s parking lot. OverDrive staff demonstrated to more than<br />

100 people how to download items from the C/W MARS digital collection.<br />

Access to all <strong>of</strong> the databases provided by the Board <strong>of</strong> Library Commissioners, CMRLS<br />

and C/W MARS can be accessed at www.cwmars.org/refdb.html. A library card number is<br />

required to use the databases.<br />

Still available at APL only is the Auto Repair Reference Center database purchased with<br />

APL’s State Aid funds.<br />

12,096 people used APL’s four Internet workstations for 4,153 hours.<br />

During the first full year <strong>of</strong> wireless access 1,068 people brought their own laptops to the<br />

Library to access the Internet.<br />

Adult Services<br />

Many <strong>of</strong> the services provided to adults have been described already in other sections <strong>of</strong><br />

this report, especially in “The Big Read” and “Online Resources.”<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> Cultural Council sponsored a concert by the jazz group Too Human in April.<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> Cultural Council also purchased a pass to the Higgins Armory for the Library to<br />

loan. The <strong>Auburn</strong> Cultural Council is a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts<br />

Cultural Council, a State agency.<br />

Thanks are due to the many people who have donated DVDs and Books on CD. In such<br />

poor economic times these gifts have greatly enhanced APL’s collections.<br />

As in the other sections <strong>of</strong> the Library, the Adult collections must be evaluated and<br />

weeded constantly. Any item, which has not been borrowed recently, must be discarded to make<br />

room for more popular materials. Gradually, VHS videos, music cassettes and books on cassette<br />

are being eliminated as their circulation declines. These collections have not been totally<br />

eliminated yet, however, because the library is the only place where people, who still have<br />

cassette players, can find tapes to play.<br />

As space permits, Assistant Director Donna Galonek continues to arrange displays <strong>of</strong><br />

new and interesting books. To inform readers about new books being published, the Library<br />

once again subscribed to Book Page, which is distributed free at the Library. Every month Mrs.<br />

Galonek displays the books featured in Book Page. She also gathers and arranges former “best<br />

sellers” and seasonal displays to catch readers’ attention. Since the circulation <strong>of</strong> Adult books is<br />

increasing, her displays must be achieving the desired results in spite <strong>of</strong> the limited space.<br />

Young Adult Services<br />

Once again, during 2009 the Young Adults were more inclined to volunteer to help with<br />

programs for younger children than they were to attend programs designed for them. 79 teens<br />

volunteered during the summer to help with “Book Buddies” and “Stencil a T-shirt” for younger<br />

children.<br />

21 teens registered online for the “Starship Adventure @ your library” summer reading<br />

program.<br />

Since registration for teen programs has been low or non-existent, Ms. Renee has been<br />

trying to organize a Teen Advisory Board to let her know about the kinds <strong>of</strong> programs and<br />

services that would interest <strong>Auburn</strong>’s teens. However, so far attendance at Advisory Board<br />

meetings has also been low.


In another effort to attract teens’ attention, Ms. Renee re-arranged and weeded the Young<br />

Adult collection and enlarged the Manga collection.<br />

Children’s Services<br />

The most memorable and heartwarming happening in the Children’s Room during 2009<br />

was the presence <strong>of</strong> a little white mouse and her sister, a little brown mouse. Although Poppy’s<br />

and Marigold’s stay with us was all too brief, during that time they inspired programs, art work<br />

and a lot <strong>of</strong> smiles. They are very much missed by the staff as well as the children.<br />

Story Times for children under 2 years old (Rug Bugs) and their caregivers, Story Time<br />

for 2 and 3 year olds (Ducklings) and their caregivers, and Story Time for 4 and 5 year olds<br />

(Zooligans) and the story program for children aged 2 to 5 (Menagerie) continued during all<br />

months except June, July and August. Ms. Renee also continued the weekly Open Story Time<br />

for all ages all through the year. Each month also featured a Pajama Time evening story program<br />

and at least one craft program. Some months there was a second craft program celebrating<br />

Chinese New Year (dragon finger puppets), Valentine cookies, Arbor Day (trees, <strong>of</strong> course),<br />

Earth Day (a craft using recycled materials), cookie decorating and a “No Parents Allowed” gift<br />

making craft. Three events were held for homeschoolers: book-making, a project fair, and a<br />

Dewey Decimal library scavenger hunt.<br />

Special programs were presented with a lot <strong>of</strong> help from our friends. The Toe Jam<br />

Puppet Band Winter Variety Show (85)* in February and “Stories from Outer Space” featuring<br />

Sparky’s Puppets (56)* in June were both funded by the Circle <strong>of</strong> Friends Community<br />

Partnerships for Children. Storyteller Tim van Egmond (47)* in July was sponsored by a grant<br />

from the <strong>Auburn</strong> Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts<br />

Cultural Council, a State agency. Funds from APL’s Miscellaneous Gift Account paid for the<br />

Pumpernickel Puppets performance (70)* in August. ( )* indicates attendance figures<br />

The theme for the 2009 Summer Reading Club was “Starship Adventure @ your<br />

library,” which, <strong>of</strong> course, featured an outer space theme. The summer started with “Stories<br />

from Outer Space” and the annual T-shirt stenciling program. 64 children adorned their shirts<br />

with rocket ships, stars and mice dressed as astronauts. 188 people participated in the five open<br />

craft programs. 20 children under the age <strong>of</strong> two attended the four Lunar Pods Story Times. 34<br />

people attended the four Open Story Times. 23 youngsters participated in the four Space Cadets<br />

arts and science classes. 79 teen volunteers helped 58 younger children with their reading during<br />

the five “Book Buddies” programs. 9 people participated in the Space Station stories and lunch<br />

program. 4 people came to the Star Time program. July featured storyteller Tim Van Egmond’s


program about world legends. The summer came to a close with the Pumpernickel Puppets’<br />

presentation <strong>of</strong> “Sir George and the Dragon” and a visiting space robot. During the summer 160<br />

children registered to participate in the summer reading program. 55 children completed the<br />

program by reading for at least 10 hours. Prizes for the summer programs were furnished by the<br />

Friends <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Auburn</strong> Public Library.<br />

Planning ahead, as usual, Ms. Renee applied for and received a $1,500 grant from Target<br />

for the 2010 Summer Reading Program.<br />

Several summer programs were cancelled due to the illness and subsequent death <strong>of</strong> Ms.<br />

Renee’s mother. Special thanks are due to Library Associates Charlotte Budge, Catherine<br />

Garnache and Christine Helie for volunteering to help with programs while Ms. Renee was<br />

unavailable.<br />

In addition to all <strong>of</strong> the paid programming and the weekly story programs, Ms. Renee<br />

continued to create many low or no cost programs throughout the year, such as the Pizza and<br />

Pages, renamed Popcorn and Pages, a book discussion club for children in grades 4 to 6, The<br />

Reading Tree online book club for children in grades K-3, Kitchen Capers, a cooking class with<br />

stories for children in grades 1 to 3, and story programs such as the “Tweet and Chirp Bird Story<br />

Time” presented by David Helie. During the spring Ms. Renee once again brought in a cage full<br />

<strong>of</strong> caterpillars so the children could watch them turn into butterflies, and then made an event <strong>of</strong><br />

releasing the butterflies. The children have already started asking about the next batch <strong>of</strong><br />

butterflies. Most months there was also a game going on in the Children’s Room, from the<br />

snowman scavenger hunt, to the ghost hunt, the turkey hunt and the Christmas Pickle Hunt.<br />

During September and October all <strong>of</strong> the classes from Bryn Mawr School visited the<br />

Library for stories and a tour. Four kindergarten classes from Mary D. Stone School and<br />

children from Pakachoag Acres Daycare Center also visited the Library for stories and a tour.<br />

Ms. Renee visited the Goddard School and <strong>Auburn</strong>’s four elementary schools.<br />

Ms. Renee read at Julia Bancr<strong>of</strong>t School and Ms. Noonan read at Pakachoag School for<br />

Community Reading Day in April. Ms. Renee was also a judge at the annual spelling bee<br />

between Pakachoag and Julia Bancr<strong>of</strong>t.<br />

Thanks are due to Ms. Renee for her boundless energy, creativity and enthusiasm. While<br />

APL’s website has been down, she created a blog to publicize Children’s Services,<br />

The evening adult book discussion group continued to meet at the Library on the second<br />

Thursday <strong>of</strong> each month. Assistant Director Donna Galonek and Senior Associate Marie<br />

Carbone assist the group by obtaining copies <strong>of</strong> the books the group has chosen to read and the<br />

Director helps with publicity.<br />

The Knitters’ Group continues to meet at the Library on Wednesday evenings. The<br />

Monday morning Knitters’ Group has expanded into a Needlecrafter’s Group, with quilters<br />

meeting after the knitters.


Among other activities in the Merriam Room during 2009 were meetings <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Auburn</strong><br />

Cultural Council, the Asperger Support Group, the Literacy Volunteers, the Massachusetts<br />

Society <strong>of</strong> Genealogists, the Chess Club conducted by Jadranka Grek-Cicovacki, the Lego Club,<br />

the Trading Card Players and the recently formed C.S. Lewis Book Club.<br />

Forms for kindergarten registration were available at APL, as were income tax forms and<br />

notices from the Recreation and Culture Department, <strong>Auburn</strong> Foundation, <strong>Auburn</strong> churches and<br />

schools, the Lorraine Gleick Nordgren Senior Center Flagtown Flyer, <strong>Auburn</strong> Junior Woman’s<br />

Club, <strong>Auburn</strong> Youth and Family Services, the American Legion’s Memorial Day program, Fuel<br />

Assistance application forms, School Buildings Committee application forms, <strong>Auburn</strong> Cultural<br />

Council Grant applications and the Cable Channel 11 Community Bulletin Board forms. In<br />

addition to the materials permanently featured, 62 new notices and/or publications were<br />

displayed by <strong>Auburn</strong> organizations on the information table across from the Circulation Desk.<br />

581 new items distributed by non-resident groups, but <strong>of</strong> interest to the <strong>Auburn</strong> community, were<br />

also available on this table.<br />

Once again, the Library was a drop-<strong>of</strong>f point for used eyeglasses for the Lions’ Club, as<br />

well as old cell phones being recycled by the Rotary Club <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong>, hearing aid batteries being<br />

recycled by the Board <strong>of</strong> Health and printer cartridges being recycled by Boy Scout Troop 53.<br />

There were also drop-<strong>of</strong>f boxes for Shaws receipts for the American Cancer Society Relay for<br />

Life and for old jeans, which Girl Scout Troop 14 was collecting to be used for home insulation<br />

as disaster relief.<br />

Tickets were sold at APL for <strong>Auburn</strong> Middle School’s production <strong>of</strong> Cinderella and for<br />

several <strong>Auburn</strong> Cultural Council events.<br />

Boy Scout Troop 101, Boy Scout Troop 53 and the <strong>Auburn</strong> Rockets Boosters held their<br />

yard sales in the Library parking lot. Troop 101 held bottle drives and a wreath sale and Troop<br />

53 held a flower sale in the Library parking lot. The <strong>Auburn</strong> Junior Woman’s Club held its<br />

Memorial Day activities in the Library parking lot. The Farmers Market was held in the parking<br />

lot on Saturdays from June through mid-October.<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> Woman’s Club afghans were available at the Library, as were tickets to<br />

events being sponsored by the <strong>Auburn</strong> Cultural Council. Thanks to Melinda and Shirley Kemp,<br />

the Friends <strong>of</strong> the APL were also able to conduct their very successful ongoing “book sale” at the<br />

Library.<br />

APL Staff<br />

There was one staff change during 2009: Page Nicole Giles graduated from Shepherd<br />

Hill Regional High School and is now attending Rivier College in Nashua, New Hampshire.<br />

Unfortunately, Library Associate Patricia Bogatkowski broke her knee in November and<br />

has been out since then. The other staff have been terrific about covering her duties, just as they<br />

are always willing to jump in to help Catherine Garnache with the ever-increasing volume <strong>of</strong><br />

“holds” items traveling to and from APL or to help the Pages when the number <strong>of</strong> items needing<br />

to be shelved have become overwhelming.<br />

It has been my good fortune to work with an extremely conscientious and hard working<br />

staff at APL. They take every patron question or request very seriously and do not rest until they<br />

have found the answer or the item. Over the years the staff have suggested many ways to<br />

improve Library operations and services. Assistant Director Donna Galonek and Children’s<br />

Librarian Renee Bichan, each in her own way, contributes greatly to the success <strong>of</strong> APL. Library<br />

Associates Patricia Bogatkowski, Marie Carbone, Carrie Courteau, Linda Dupuis, Catherine


Garnache, Judith Giles, Christine Helie and Linda Simmons are all perfectionists when it comes<br />

to customer service. All the favorable comments about the staff on the survey make it clear that<br />

this is not only my opinion. Pages Estelle Civalier, Statia Durling and Susan Page work very<br />

hard to get all <strong>of</strong> the returned items back on the shelves accurately and quickly.<br />

Library Handyman Michael Mastrorio, along with cleaner Chick Anderson, work well<br />

together to keep the building clean. They are always willing to help with special projects.<br />

We are grateful for the assistance <strong>of</strong> volunteer Joan Calverley, who is helping with the<br />

Index to <strong>Auburn</strong> Articles in the Worcester Telegram and other projects.<br />

Joan F. Noonan<br />

Library Director<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> Public Library Board <strong>of</strong> Trustees<br />

As 2009 came to an end, Library Director, Joan Noonan, was winding down her career<br />

and preparing to enter the relaxing world <strong>of</strong> retirement. With deepest regrets, we Trustees<br />

accepted her decision, for Joan has been the smiling face <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Auburn</strong> Public Library since<br />

1988, and had been the assistant director for eight years preceding that.<br />

As Library Director, Joan has shepherded the Library through times <strong>of</strong> large growth and<br />

amazing change. When she became director our collection contained 52,583 items and today<br />

there are about 104,000 items. We have the largest holdings in the area, except for Worcester<br />

and Shrewsbury. Back in 1988 our circulation was about 150,000 and last year it was about<br />

210,000.


Joan moved the library into the computer age. In 1988 our phonograph records were<br />

being replaced by audio cassettes, and 8mm film gave way to video cassettes. Long gone are the<br />

thump-thump sounds <strong>of</strong> the rubber stamps. Now we are a member <strong>of</strong> C/W MARS, meaning that<br />

almost all libraries in central Massachusetts and well beyond are accessible to <strong>Auburn</strong> library<br />

users.<br />

In all <strong>of</strong> 1988, <strong>Auburn</strong> inter-library loans totaled 556. In 2009 the weekly total exceeded<br />

that yearly total each and every week. Joan carried some <strong>of</strong> us kicking and screaming into the<br />

technology age. It was her knowledge and foresight that has brought us this far. She will be<br />

sorely missed by staff, patrons and Trustees.<br />

Of course, as one door closes, another opens, and our new library director entered. In<br />

September, aware that Joan was retiring near the end <strong>of</strong> January, 2010, the Trustees advertised<br />

the position. We received 17 letters <strong>of</strong> application and resumes for the position. After reading<br />

the information sent us, the Trustees discussed the candidates, and chose four to come for<br />

interviews.<br />

After the interviews were completed, we felt that Cynthia Marcoux should be our new<br />

director. Ms. Marcoux comes to us from the Blackstone Public Library, where she was<br />

employed for her entire fourteen year career. She has been the director in Blackstone for the past<br />

three years and we Trustees are truly confident that we have chosen an outstanding person to be<br />

our new library director.<br />

In other news <strong>of</strong> 2009, we conducted a survey asking for the opinions <strong>of</strong> residents<br />

concerning the library. First <strong>of</strong> all, the results were especially favorable, with the staff receiving<br />

very high praise. However, all wasn’t perfect as many wanted more computers, Saturday hours,<br />

and a bigger building. We will endeavor to find a way to reach all these goals.<br />

We wish Joan the very best in her retirement and a sincere thank you for a job well<br />

done!!<br />

Veterans Services<br />

The Veterans Services Department continues to move forward to serve our veterans.<br />

The Rica Walsh Community Access Award winning, Route 9 Veterans Forum cable<br />

television program also continues to grow. The program is on the ACTV Channel monthly. It is<br />

centered on veterans’ issues, needs and information as necessary. It is shown in over 80 different<br />

communities statewide and numerous foreign countries including Iraq, and Afghanistan. The<br />

program tries to reach as many veterans as possible with the information needed by families <strong>of</strong><br />

veterans as well as the veterans themselves. The show airs at various times throughout the


month. Check the ACTV Channel for times and dates or Google “RT9 Veterans Forum” and<br />

click on Boxford cable access link to see all the shows on the Internet.<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> veterans continue to inquire about filing claims, obtaining military records,<br />

discharge papers, awards and decorations, citations, burial benefits, license plates and numerous<br />

other issues that are unique to each.<br />

A monthly column appears in the <strong>Auburn</strong> News with items <strong>of</strong> interest and the latest news<br />

concerning veterans.<br />

The services are unlimited. You may take advantage <strong>of</strong> them by contacting 508-832-7706<br />

Lawrence J. Corbin III, USAF Retired<br />

Director <strong>of</strong> Veterans Service<br />

Dog Officer<br />

This is my 33 rd Annual Report and it will be my last. By the time you read this I will<br />

have retired.<br />

I have been blessed to witness tremendous strides in the area <strong>of</strong> animal welfare over the<br />

years. The number <strong>of</strong> stray dogs has been reduced enormously. Progress is being made to help<br />

with the feline overpopulation but there is still a long way to go.<br />

Due to the heat failure at the Highway Department in 2008 we began 2009 without heat<br />

in the kennel. The original design for the kennel had the kennel “borrowing” heat from the<br />

highway garage. Fortunately, most dogs picked up were properly tagged and were taken directly<br />

home and the few that weren’t came home with one <strong>of</strong> my assistants or me.<br />

I am thrilled to report the Kennel Renovation Project (KRP) was completed and an Open<br />

House was held on December 6, 2009. More than 50 people came to view the facility and wish<br />

us well. The Open House was attended by State Representative Paul Frost, Charles O’Connor,<br />

Jr., Acting <strong>Town</strong> Manager, Selectmen Bob Grossman and Doreen Goodrich, <strong>Town</strong> Clerk Ellen<br />

Gaboury and former School Superintendent Dr. Patricia Martin.<br />

With the completion <strong>of</strong> the KRP, the original dog kennel and the new addition have their<br />

own heating system thanks to the generosity <strong>of</strong> <strong>General</strong> Mechanical on Sword Street. We had<br />

many donations in 2009. Those who donated $100 or more are: The Gary Pike Family,<br />

Anthony Hmura, Steven Callan <strong>of</strong> NE Medical Home Care Inc., Donna Bacon, Karen Carlson,<br />

Beverley Wiggins, Mr. & Mrs. J. Cohen, the Howard Vibber Family, Mr. & Mrs. Francis<br />

Bujnowski, Evelyn Bartlett, Linda Lauzon, Ron & Gail Holloway, Patrick Jones, Janet Barrows,<br />

David Peckham, Vietnam Veterans <strong>of</strong> America, Inc. <strong>Auburn</strong> Chapter 554, John & Janet<br />

Jankowski, Kathleen Nawn, Glenn Feldman & Sandra Legasey Feldman and Bill & Pat<br />

Westerlind.<br />

Capitol Siding donated a gutter and down spouts with Gary Ward donating his labor to<br />

install them, Gary Moss <strong>of</strong> Moss Electrical did the wiring with Mercier Electrical donating the<br />

electrical supplies, Bell’s Lawn & Garden donated the blocks for the planter, Spaulding Fence &<br />

Supply gave us a 50% discount on the new chain link that was needed. Worcester Joint


Apprenticeship & Training Funds sent a crew one Saturday to do odds and ends. A.F. Amorello<br />

& Sons, Inc. donated labor and a portion <strong>of</strong> the asphalt to repave the kennel.<br />

I neglected to acknowledge the 2008 donors in last years report. I would like to correct<br />

that oversight this year. Those 2008 donors who donated $100 or more are as follows: Madelon<br />

Berger, Mr. & Mrs. Richard Fleming, Dorothy Butkus, Mr. & Mrs. John Hedley, Mr. & Mrs.<br />

Andrew Sluckis, Jr. and family, Joyce Looney, Paul Blais, Andrew Sluckis, Sr., Mr. & Mrs.<br />

David delaGorgendiere, and Guertin Trophy donated a permanent plaque that is mounted in the<br />

kennel. The plaque recognizes Barbara “Trudy” Taylor whose passing inspired the KRP as well<br />

as contract donors and donors <strong>of</strong> $100 or more.<br />

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention other donations <strong>of</strong> pet food, toys and kitty litter.<br />

John Layte owner <strong>of</strong> Tatnuck Pet donated cases <strong>of</strong> cat and dog food and promises to give us<br />

more. In December the fourth graders at Julia Bancr<strong>of</strong>t School and the Kindergarten students<br />

from Bryn Mawr donated pet food and toys for the animals in honor <strong>of</strong> their parents.<br />

I issued 407 citations mostly for unlicensed dogs. These citations generated $7,555. At<br />

this writing I am still appearing in Housing Court in attempt to collect over 100 unpaid citations.<br />

My efforts at tracking down unlicensed dogs have shown a steady increase in the number <strong>of</strong><br />

licenses sold over the past 5 years. In 2005, 2156 dogs were licensed, at the end <strong>of</strong> 2009 the<br />

<strong>Town</strong> Clerk’s <strong>of</strong>fice licensed 2329.<br />

We detained 69 dogs and cats in 2009, 53 dogs and 16 cats. The fine and board for the<br />

dogs generated $1,230. Most dogs were returned to their owners, adopted or transferred to a no<br />

kill shelter for adoption. The only exception was two pit bulls that were ordered quarantined by<br />

Charles O’Connor and eventually ordered to be euthanized by the Board <strong>of</strong> Selectmen. These<br />

dogs were involved in a bite incident and were deemed extremely dangerous.<br />

Of the 16 cats we captured 3 had to be euthanized due to illness or extreme aggression.<br />

One was a feral cat found at the Highway Department that was trapped, neutered and released at<br />

no cost to the town. One had an identification chip and was returned to his owner. The others<br />

were placed directly through me or they were sent to Sweetpea Friends <strong>of</strong> Rutland Animals, a no<br />

kill shelter, for placement. Dr. Kenneth DeTora from Hillside Veterinary Clinic<br />

spayed/neutered, tested and inoculated 9 stray cats and 1 dog at no cost to the <strong>Town</strong>.<br />

In closing, I would like to thank all <strong>of</strong> you who supported my efforts to protect the<br />

animals over the years. Your financial and moral support was gratefully appreciated. It has been<br />

my privilege to serve the <strong>Town</strong>.<br />

Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School is a multi-functional facility established to<br />

serve the needs <strong>of</strong> a diverse population in the Southern Worcester County Regional Vocational<br />

School District. It is the mission <strong>of</strong> the school, in cooperation with the district, to provide an<br />

integrated academic and technical education. Our students are being prepared with a broad<br />

range <strong>of</strong> knowledge and job skills necessary to function effectively as productive and contributing<br />

members <strong>of</strong> multicultural communities. Bay Path has 21 vocational areas to choose from.<br />

Automotive Collision & Repair Tech, Automotive Technology, Cabinetmaking, Carpentry,<br />

Cosmetology, Culinary Arts, Drafting, Electrical, Electronics, Facilities Management, Graphic<br />

Communications, Health Tech, HVAC-R, Machine Tool Tech, Marketing, Mason & Tile Setting,<br />

Metal Fab. & Joining Tech, Office Tech, Plumbing, Power Equipment Tech, & Programming & Web<br />

Development.<br />

Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School is based in the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> Charlton and<br />

serves the towns <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong>, Charlton, Dudley, North Brookfield, Oxford, Paxton, Rutland,<br />

Southbridge, Spencer, and Webster.


It is an honor and a pleasure to serve as the<br />

Superintendent-Director <strong>of</strong> the Southern Worcester County<br />

Regional Vocational School District. The commitment <strong>of</strong><br />

our ten town district shows the understanding <strong>of</strong> the<br />

importance <strong>of</strong> a quality education for our children.<br />

During FY09 we were able to start our first ever practical<br />

nursing program. This program serves twenty-four<br />

students who will be given the opportunity to obtain a<br />

practical nurse’s license in a ten month period. We are<br />

very pleased to provide this needed service to the<br />

Southern Worcester County area. This program is just one<br />

<strong>of</strong> the many exciting and innovative programs that we<br />

have been able to <strong>of</strong>fer our adult learners over the past<br />

several years.<br />

With the recognition <strong>of</strong> the importance <strong>of</strong> a good vocational education, comes the growth<br />

<strong>of</strong> our enrollment. Recognizing the demand, we have requested and been granted a<br />

feasibility study from the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) for an addition/<br />

renovation project. As we work through the steps <strong>of</strong> this process, we will be seeking your<br />

support for this desperately needed upgrading <strong>of</strong> our forty year old building.<br />

We have just completed a one-year feasibility study for the possibility <strong>of</strong> the installation <strong>of</strong><br />

a wind turbine. The results <strong>of</strong> that study have given us data that highly recommends the<br />

installation <strong>of</strong> a 900KW wind turbine. As we move forward with this project, it is our goal<br />

to install a wind turbine at no cost to our district towns and a substantial savings in energy<br />

to our school district.<br />

Understanding the fiscal difficulties <strong>of</strong> FY09, Bay Path was able to absorb the total cost <strong>of</strong><br />

regional transportation. This one time expenditure is our way <strong>of</strong> working with our district<br />

towns and understanding their needs.<br />

It is an absolute pleasure to be able to work with the representatives <strong>of</strong> your communities.<br />

The elected school committee members <strong>of</strong> each <strong>of</strong> your towns that make up the Southern<br />

Worcester County Regional Vocational School District School Committee, are dedicated<br />

and hard working. Their time and effort has made Bay Path one <strong>of</strong> the premiere<br />

vocational schools in the state <strong>of</strong> Massachusetts. They represent your towns and the<br />

school district with educational understanding and fiscal responsibility. We are very<br />

fortunate to have these representatives in our community.<br />

It is my hope that this annual report provides you with an understanding <strong>of</strong> our school<br />

district and a true sense <strong>of</strong> ownership <strong>of</strong> the Southern Worcester County Regional<br />

Vocational School District.


The Fiscal Year 2009 budget was again built on the Minimum Local Contribution<br />

requirements established by the Commonwealth <strong>of</strong> Massachusetts. The total operating<br />

and capital budget equaled $16,302,524, a 4.3% increase over FY08. At the same time,<br />

assessments charged to member communities dropped $156,401 or 2.5% from the prior<br />

year.<br />

Members’ assessments totaled $6,102,064 comprised <strong>of</strong> $5,773,697 in minimum<br />

contribution, $120,000 in transportation assessments, $120,000 for retiree health care<br />

and $88,367 in capital buy-in assessments levied to the four newest member<br />

communities.<br />

The balance <strong>of</strong> budgeted revenues came primarily from state aid. The district anticipated<br />

$9,238,460 in Chapter 70 education aid, $762,000 in Chapter 71 regional transportation<br />

aid and $200,000 from the district’s excess & deficiency (E&D) account.<br />

The ongoing state fiscal crisis led the commonwealth to reduce its Chapter 70 funding in<br />

the 4 th quarter <strong>of</strong> the fiscal year by $971,556 and replace those funds with federal ARRA<br />

funds. The stimulus funds allowed the district to keep its program intact. However, we are<br />

well aware that the budget climate in FY10 and beyond remains cloudy and will prove<br />

very challenging.<br />

A GLIMPSE INTO BAY PATH<br />

VOCATIONAL<br />

Lateral moves may results in<br />

improved field position in<br />

football but that is not the case<br />

when it comes to academics.<br />

In order to help students<br />

perform to their highest ability<br />

and achieve greatness beyond<br />

high school, a school must<br />

have forward thinking and<br />

make the best <strong>of</strong> a changing<br />

world. Many <strong>of</strong> these changes<br />

can be state mandated while<br />

some are driven from within.<br />

Here at Bay Path we<br />

incorporate all changes for the<br />

best <strong>of</strong> our students.<br />

Bay Path strives to prepare<br />

students for any direction they<br />

choose to take after<br />

graduation. Our curriculum is<br />

constantly under review and<br />

adapted to make our students’<br />

education second to none.<br />

Our students undergo a day<br />

that is extended a bit longer<br />

than most other communities.<br />

The day is also full <strong>of</strong><br />

educational courses with no<br />

room for directed studies.<br />

There are extended day<br />

programs to help students with<br />

MCAS studies. For the class <strong>of</strong><br />

2009, 100% <strong>of</strong> our students<br />

have passed the MCAS exams<br />

in Mathematics and English.<br />

This is the fifth consecutive<br />

year in which this was<br />

accomplished.<br />

Our goal <strong>of</strong> retaining students<br />

has been achieved. Bay Path<br />

has a drop out rate <strong>of</strong> 3.3%,<br />

which is lower than the state<br />

average <strong>of</strong> 9.9%. The fact that<br />

our students enjoy attending<br />

school is prevalent in our<br />

average daily attendance rate<br />

<strong>of</strong> 95%, a steady increase over<br />

the last three years.<br />

Enrollment at Bay Path is<br />

steadily on the rise. The<br />

administration strives to accept<br />

the maximum number <strong>of</strong><br />

students that our walls will<br />

hold. Our graduating classes<br />

have seen a constant increase<br />

in numbers. This past year<br />

116 students went on to<br />

higher educational institutions.<br />

has always been at our<br />

forefront, and 73 <strong>of</strong> graduating<br />

seniors continue on in their<br />

vocational training areas.<br />

Communication is the heart <strong>of</strong><br />

a well-run school. With the aid<br />

<strong>of</strong> our direct call system our<br />

parents are kept well informed<br />

<strong>of</strong> the school happenings.<br />

Students and parents have the<br />

ability to call individual<br />

teacher’s voicemail for<br />

questions and concerns.<br />

The security <strong>of</strong> our students is<br />

one <strong>of</strong> the most important<br />

factors at Bay Path. We work<br />

with our local police<br />

departments and thank the<br />

Charlton Police Department for<br />

providing us with a grant for<br />

video surveillance equipment.<br />

We have installed video<br />

cameras throughout the facility<br />

to assure that our staff and<br />

students are safe while gaining<br />

knowledge.<br />

Bay Path concerns themselves<br />

with the total growth <strong>of</strong> a<br />

student and pride ourselves<br />

with brightening our future by<br />

molding our students into<br />

becoming prominent members<br />

<strong>of</strong> our community.


Fifty-four students earned the John and Abigail Adams scholarship based on their excellent<br />

performance on their 10th grade MCAS scores. This scholarship provides the students with<br />

free tuition at any Massachusetts community college or 4 year college or university.<br />

Forty students were in last year’s Robotic Club. Twenty-eight <strong>of</strong> these students brought 3 <strong>of</strong><br />

their robots to compete in the two statewide BattleBot meets and ranked in the top 15.<br />

Twelve students and two robots went to the National Battlebot Competition in San Francisco<br />

with two robots and placed 4th in the nation.<br />

In 2009, 100% <strong>of</strong> our graduating class passed the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment<br />

System (MCAS) tests. This was the fifth consecutive year that our students have<br />

accomplished this level <strong>of</strong> testing.<br />

Twenty-eight members <strong>of</strong> the Class <strong>of</strong> 2009 earned pr<strong>of</strong>essional certifications in the areas <strong>of</strong><br />

Heating and Ventilation, Health Technologies, Certified Nurse’s Assistant and Cosmetology.<br />

Many <strong>of</strong> our students qualified for competition at the WPI Annual Science Fair. Two <strong>of</strong> those<br />

students were finalists at this regional competition.<br />

SkillsUSA is one <strong>of</strong> the largest student organizations in the state <strong>of</strong> Massachusetts. Bay Path<br />

is a total participation school which is funded with Perkins Grant monies. During FY09, over<br />

one hundred and twenty students competed in District competition which resulted in sixty<br />

students moving on to State Competition. Once again, our students demonstrated their<br />

vocational and academic skills by winning twenty--one state medals. This positioned thirteen<br />

<strong>of</strong> our students and two state <strong>of</strong>ficers in National Competition in Kansas City, Missouri.<br />

Bay Path is a twenty-first century school that <strong>of</strong>fers both a strong academic and vocational<br />

curriculum. The Class <strong>of</strong> 2009 is pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> that strong curriculum as they were recipients <strong>of</strong><br />

$600,000 in college and tool scholarships.


An essential component <strong>of</strong> a vocational student’s educational experience is the hands-on<br />

training that they receive while completing tasks that emulate jobs similar to what they will<br />

encounter when employed in their chosen pr<strong>of</strong>ession. While working in shop, Bay Path<br />

students apply their technical and academic knowledge to diagnose, repair, construct and/<br />

or provide requested services to non-pr<strong>of</strong>it organizations and private citizens from any <strong>of</strong><br />

our ten district towns.<br />

During the 2008 – 2009 school year, 1368<br />

work orders were approved. The majority <strong>of</strong><br />

these orders were project requests submitted<br />

from residents <strong>of</strong> our in-district towns for<br />

our students to complete. Our construction<br />

trades combined their efforts to build a six<br />

room, multiple bath, cape style home in<br />

Charlton. Many other outside projects were<br />

completed by our students under the direct<br />

supervision <strong>of</strong> their instructors. Students<br />

built handicap ramps, designed and printed<br />

brochures and constructed a building addition for some <strong>of</strong> our in district municipalities who<br />

requested the students’ services. Other work performed by our students included the construction<br />

<strong>of</strong> a storage shed, the designing and building <strong>of</strong> kitchen cabinets, performing annual<br />

service on snow blowers and lawnmowers, and designing and constructing a metal<br />

fire pit. Students also had the opportunity to perform a wide variety <strong>of</strong> automotive services<br />

that ranged from a simple oil change and car detailing to replacing ball joints and complete<br />

restoration <strong>of</strong> a vehicle.<br />

Students can <strong>of</strong>ten be found throughout the school building assisting the schools<br />

maintenance, secretarial and technical staff. Through a variety <strong>of</strong> hands-on learning<br />

activities, students develop their career skills and competencies by completing general<br />

building maintenance tasks, running cable for the networking <strong>of</strong> computers, creating links<br />

on the school’s Web page , assisting the <strong>of</strong>fice staff with a variety <strong>of</strong> clerical tasks, servicing<br />

school equipment and then manufacturing machine parts needed to complete the repair.<br />

Several health care facilities in our district <strong>of</strong>fer students clinical hours during which they<br />

learn how to monitor a patient’s condition and perform basic patient care under the direct<br />

supervision <strong>of</strong> medical pr<strong>of</strong>essionals. These clinical hours provide valuable practical<br />

experiences and are an important component <strong>of</strong> their curriculum.


Customers <strong>of</strong> the cosmetology department provide hands-on training opportunities that<br />

help simulate a work environment where students sharpen their skills as they perform a<br />

variety <strong>of</strong> cosmetology services that include<br />

manicures, hair coloring and haircuts. Patrons are<br />

asked to call the school for an appointment. Our<br />

Hilltop Restaurant and Minuteman Shoppe are opened<br />

to the public Tuesday –Friday from 11:00 am – 1:00<br />

pm. Marketing students develop skills used in a retail<br />

business as they operate the Minuteman Shoppe<br />

which <strong>of</strong>fers freshly baked goods, crafts, school made<br />

items and much more. Patrons to the Hilltop<br />

Restaurant will find a menu that includes appetizers,<br />

sandwiches, entrees and desserts all prepared and<br />

served by students at reasonable prices. Special<br />

orders may be placed and reservations for larger<br />

parties are recommended.<br />

Upperclassmen students may choose to participate in the Cooperative Education<br />

Program. Through paid employment, students develop job skills in a supervised industrial<br />

or business work-based environment. Co-op students gain practical and valuable on-thejob<br />

training and first-hand experiences <strong>of</strong> industry practices and genuine working<br />

conditions. During the 2008-2009 school year 73 <strong>of</strong> our students participated in the<br />

Cooperative Education program.<br />

For students, first-hand learning environments,<br />

where services are rendered to the general<br />

public, prepare them with valuable experiences<br />

that help develop the skills and confidence<br />

needed to prepare them to work within their<br />

chosen career. The public is encouraged to take<br />

advantage <strong>of</strong> the many services provided by each<br />

<strong>of</strong> our twenty-one career areas. These learning<br />

opportunities are an integral component <strong>of</strong> a<br />

student’s vocational education and benefit not<br />

only the students but provide useful services to<br />

the general public at reasonable costs.


BAY PATH TEAMS SHOW THEIR<br />

SPORTSMANSHIP AND WINNING<br />

WAYS<br />

Bay Path not only <strong>of</strong>fers<br />

excellent educational venues;<br />

it also provides students with<br />

other opportunities for growth.<br />

Out athletic department <strong>of</strong>fers<br />

a large variety <strong>of</strong> sports for<br />

both girls and boys. Recently,<br />

we have extended the<br />

opportunities for our students<br />

by adding girls and boys<br />

freshman basketball. This<br />

increased the participation for<br />

athletics at Bay Path.<br />

A successful season is always<br />

the goal for any coach, but add<br />

a sportsmanship award to that<br />

and you have sweetened the<br />

pot. Bay Path was the recipient<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Colonial Athletic<br />

League Sportsmanship Award<br />

for the second time. This<br />

award was voted on by all<br />

coaches and teams <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Colonial Athletic League. It is<br />

truly an honor to be recognized<br />

by your peers for such a prestigious<br />

award and to receive<br />

this award twice speaks to our<br />

coaches and athletes. We<br />

have an outstanding group.<br />

It is a great feeling to go<br />

through play<strong>of</strong>fs and reach the<br />

final game. At Bay Path our<br />

football team did just this and<br />

were victorious at the Massachusetts<br />

Vocational School<br />

State Super Bowl. Their 28-6<br />

Victory over Bristol-Plymouth<br />

Vocational earned them the<br />

winning rings. This culminated<br />

a vocational schedule <strong>of</strong> 5<br />

wins and 1 loss, including a<br />

hard fought game against<br />

Worcester Tech in the last<br />

game <strong>of</strong> the season on a cold<br />

and windy Fowler field.<br />

Football isn’t the only<br />

successful Minuteman team.<br />

Our boys soccer team has<br />

played in the MIAA District<br />

play<strong>of</strong>fs for the fifth year in a<br />

row. Although they didn’t<br />

advance to the final round,<br />

they have advanced as far as<br />

the quarterfinals and had<br />

strong showings. Our<br />

basketball program has also<br />

experienced success. The<br />

girls fell one game shy to<br />

qualify for District play<strong>of</strong>fs.<br />

The boys had an impressive<br />

15-5 record and saw play in<br />

the District 2 tournament.<br />

A couple <strong>of</strong> other sports also<br />

made a name for Bay Path.<br />

The boys cross country team<br />

finished with a 9-3 record.<br />

Unfortunately, the girls were<br />

winless but produced many<br />

Colonial League all stars. Our<br />

golf team was second in the<br />

Colonial League (9-2-1) and<br />

qualified for the MIAA tournament<br />

for the fourth year in a<br />

row with an overall 9-5-1<br />

record. They placed second in<br />

the State Vocational Tournament<br />

for the second year in a<br />

row.<br />

Bay Path athletes were recognized<br />

by both the Colonial<br />

League and MIAA when they<br />

had a number <strong>of</strong> athletes<br />

elected as all stars. Our golf<br />

team had a golfer who was<br />

selected to the Telegram and<br />

Gazette Super Team for the<br />

second consecutive year. This<br />

is a feat that is hard to<br />

accomplish once, never mind<br />

twice.<br />

Bay Path is proud to support<br />

our athletes and their<br />

achievements, but even more<br />

proud when their actions result<br />

in a sportsmanship award.


The Southern Worcester County Regional Vocational School District consists <strong>of</strong> ten towns. Each<br />

town has two elected <strong>of</strong>ficials that make up our school committee. These individuals are<br />

dedicated and supportive members who understand the value <strong>of</strong> a quality vocational education.<br />

Their leadership and oversight <strong>of</strong> Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School has made it<br />

the premiere vocational technical high school that it is today.<br />

AUBURN PUBLIC SCHOOLS<br />

Dr. Maryellen Brunelle<br />

Superintendent <strong>of</strong> Schools<br />

“Amid adversity, remember that positive outcomes are easier to see with your head up.”<br />

Christopher Novak<br />

The year 2009 will be long remembered as one that tested our fortitude with its fiscal challenges,<br />

but from this vantage point, those challenges were met head-on as a result <strong>of</strong> collaboration<br />

between all departments that was focused on the best interests <strong>of</strong> the entire <strong>Auburn</strong> community.<br />

As we begin 2010, it seems the financial struggles will continue, but so, too, will our ability to<br />

overcome them, assuming we renew our mutual commitment to the success <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> and all <strong>of</strong><br />

its citizens, young, mature and all <strong>of</strong> those in between.<br />

As a school district, in 2009 we renewed our commitment to the District’s mission, “to educate<br />

and prepare children for the challenges and opportunities <strong>of</strong> a changing world” as well as to the<br />

Strategic Plan that was first developed in November 2007. The six themes <strong>of</strong> the Strategic Plan<br />

plot a course toward educational excellence, a commitment shared by all within the school and<br />

greater <strong>Auburn</strong> community alike: curriculum development, pr<strong>of</strong>essional development,<br />

technology, stability <strong>of</strong> administrative team, facilities, and community relations.<br />

Two administrators joined the <strong>Auburn</strong> Public Schools’ (APS) Team in 2009, with one assuming<br />

a new role. Each has committed to – and already contributed to - the success <strong>of</strong> the District and<br />

we welcome each aboard: Mr. Joseph Gagnon, <strong>Auburn</strong> Middle School Principal; Mrs. Deb<br />

Kozik, Principal <strong>of</strong> Pakachoag Elementary School; and Mrs. Kathleen Lauzé, longtime principal<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Pakachoag School assumed the role <strong>of</strong> Director <strong>of</strong> Teaching, Learning and Curriculum.<br />

In 2009, the School Committee’s commitment to transparency in the budgeting process was<br />

realized through a variety <strong>of</strong> ways. Budget presentations by members <strong>of</strong> the Leadership Team<br />

were made on January 10 th , 12 th and 14 th , followed by the posting <strong>of</strong> the same to the website <strong>of</strong><br />

the <strong>Auburn</strong> Public Schools, therefore affording all community members the opportunity to stay<br />

informed throughout the process. On March 25, 2009, a Public Hearing was held in the Dr.<br />

Martha Pappas Auditorium at <strong>Auburn</strong> High School. Each line <strong>of</strong> the proposed FY 2010 budget<br />

was read aloud and answers to any questions posed were provided to the <strong>Town</strong> Meeting and<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> community members in attendance. In the end, the school department’s budget for FY<br />

2010, $20,584,542 – which was $4,850 less than the amount approved for FY 2009 - was<br />

approved by unanimous vote at the May 7, 2009 Annual <strong>Town</strong> Meeting.<br />

On behalf <strong>of</strong> the entire <strong>Auburn</strong> Public Schools, I humbly ask for your continued support in the<br />

months and years to come. My return to <strong>Auburn</strong> and this school district has brought me great<br />

pleasure and I renew my commitment to working to the best <strong>of</strong> my ability – in concert with the<br />

dedicated staff, parents and community members <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> – to ensure that our educational<br />

program is the very best it can be for each and every one <strong>of</strong> our students.<br />

What follows is a brief overview from each <strong>of</strong> the schools or departments within the <strong>Auburn</strong><br />

Public Schools. While these are merely a snapshot into life in the <strong>Auburn</strong> Public Schools in<br />

2009, they reflect our commitment to our students and our mission. Please regularly visit the<br />

website <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Auburn</strong> Public Schools at www.auburn.k12.ma.us so that you, too, can stay<br />

informed as to our progress. On behalf <strong>of</strong> the entire Leadership Team, we thank you for your<br />

continued support!


BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION<br />

Mr. Daniel Deedy, Business Manager<br />

I am pleased to present this annual update from the <strong>Auburn</strong> Public Schools’ School Business<br />

Office for 2009. These brief yet informative paragraphs highlight a very efficient and highly<br />

competent group <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essionals whose daily work validates the slogan affixed in the School<br />

Committee meeting room, “Kids First.”<br />

The fiscal year 2010 school budget was driven by several funding sources. They included local<br />

money as well as funding from State and Federal grant dollars. The District also received a<br />

number <strong>of</strong> grants made possible through community vendors and foundations, including <strong>Auburn</strong><br />

Chamber <strong>of</strong> Commerce and the <strong>Auburn</strong> Education Foundation. The FY10 budget was<br />

supplemented with additional revenues from the Massachusetts Department <strong>of</strong> Education<br />

(Circuit Breaker), the Federal Government (Medicaid) and building or program-oriented<br />

revolving accounts. Together, this money enabled the District to continue its mission <strong>of</strong> serving<br />

students with quality resources and staff.<br />

In FY10, the Business Office continued to serve as the financial backbone <strong>of</strong> the District.<br />

Staffed by one bookkeeper, one assistant to the business manager, and one business manager,<br />

these individuals were responsible for being the gatekeepers <strong>of</strong> the District’s finances. Under the<br />

direction <strong>of</strong> the business manager, they processed hundreds <strong>of</strong> purchase orders, paid invoices on<br />

a bi-monthly basis, processed payroll bi-weekly, insured compliance with State and Federal<br />

regulations, maintained comprehensive personnel files, coordinated several financial and<br />

program audits and performed all <strong>of</strong> the intangible tasks that enabled the District to operate from<br />

a financial standpoint.<br />

The Business Office accomplished a number <strong>of</strong> tasks in 2009:<br />

• Fostered a spirit <strong>of</strong> collegiality and collaboration with all <strong>Town</strong> Departments including the<br />

<strong>Town</strong> Manager’s <strong>of</strong>fice and <strong>Town</strong> Accountant’s <strong>of</strong>fice, as well as all District<br />

administrators<br />

• Successfully managed all school finances<br />

• Successfully completed all State and Federal reporting requirements including the EOY<br />

Report<br />

• Implemented a highly informative and useful method for budgeting<br />

• Collaborated with other Districts in the area <strong>of</strong> procurement, as well as utilizing State<br />

contracts<br />

• Continued to implement Internal Controls<br />

• Continued a highly successful and close working relationship with the director <strong>of</strong> facility<br />

management<br />

• Continued the successful implementation <strong>of</strong> new guidelines for Student Activity Accounts<br />

• Achieved E-Rate funding<br />

• Continued the development <strong>of</strong> an Administrators’ Guide to Financial Management<br />

• Successfully implemented the coordination <strong>of</strong> bus routes for the new school year<br />

continued regular meetings and ongoing communications with the District’s bus provider<br />

• Centralized billing for various District programs such as Kindergarten, Galaxy and<br />

Satellite<br />

• Successfully developed and implemented comprehensive Invitation for Bids (IFB) for<br />

student transportation<br />

• Successfully integrated the Food Service Department into the Business Office<br />

• Continued to implement school fees for busing and parking


• Successfully re-structured a number <strong>of</strong> functions and in doing so streamlined processes in<br />

Central Office with the resignation <strong>of</strong> a bookkeeper in March <strong>of</strong> 2009<br />

• Assisted the <strong>Town</strong> administration with the development <strong>of</strong> the fiber optic cabling project<br />

for school and town buildings<br />

• Engaged ENERNOC as the vendor <strong>of</strong> the Demand Response Program formerly managed<br />

by National Grid<br />

• Partnered with National Grid on other energy saving programs including the “Power to<br />

Save Program”<br />

• Oversaw the reduction <strong>of</strong> the monthly kilowatt usage in each <strong>of</strong> the district’s buildings<br />

• Successfully completed all reporting requirements to the DESE for grants, including SFSF<br />

and ARRA funding<br />

The Business Office expects to accomplish all <strong>of</strong> the above tasks in 2010, despite the extreme<br />

fiscal challenges before us, to ensure the continued successful operation <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Auburn</strong> Public<br />

Schools. It is anticipated that additional reporting will be required for the SFSF (State Fiscal<br />

Stabilization Funds) and ARRA grants (American Reinvestment and Recovery Act). This<br />

reporting will be done as all other tasks are accomplished through the Business Office: with<br />

care, accuracy, diligence and timeliness. The Business Office, as is the entire District, is<br />

sensitive to energy demands and is working diligently to <strong>of</strong>fset those demands with programs<br />

that ultimately translate into significant savings for the District.<br />

TEACHING, LEARNING AND CURRICULUM<br />

Mrs. Kathleen Lauzé, Director <strong>of</strong> Teaching, Learning and Curriculum<br />

As Director <strong>of</strong> Teaching, Learning and Curriculum it is my goal to develop a community <strong>of</strong><br />

learners made up <strong>of</strong> students, teachers, administrators, parents, and citizens <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong>. To<br />

achieve this goal it is essential that we all engage in the process <strong>of</strong> continuous improvement<br />

through focused pr<strong>of</strong>essional development, curriculum review and renewal and ultimately,<br />

improved practice. To that end the following has been accomplished to date:<br />

Although this position was only <strong>of</strong>ficially reinstated in July 2009, many accomplishments were<br />

realized in both the areas <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional development and curriculum work:<br />

materials and pr<strong>of</strong>essional development to support the curriculum.<br />

DEPARTMENT OF PUPIL SERVICES<br />

Mr. Richard McInerny, Director <strong>of</strong> Pupil Services<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> Special Education Department provided services for approximately 12% <strong>of</strong> our total<br />

student population during the 2008–2009 school year. This is well below the Massachusetts<br />

average <strong>of</strong> 16%.<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> Public Schools have been very successful in meeting the needs <strong>of</strong> students within<br />

our regular education classrooms. Students with a variety <strong>of</strong> disabilities participate with their<br />

typical peers in classroom and extra curricular activities, enriching our community.<br />

As statutes and regulations at both the federal and state level have become more complex,<br />

schools are mandated to do more, <strong>of</strong>ten with fewer resources. I commend the staff <strong>of</strong> the Pupil<br />

Services Department for <strong>of</strong>ten going above and beyond to provide exemplary service to the<br />

students <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Auburn</strong> Public Schools.<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> Public Schools early childhood education program is accredited through the<br />

National Association for the Education <strong>of</strong> Young Children (NAEYC). This accreditation<br />

indicates that <strong>Auburn</strong>’s early childhood program meets very high standards. Throughout the<br />

2009-2010 school year, Mrs. Chase, Principal <strong>of</strong> the Mary D. Stone School, and her preschool<br />

staff have been working tirelessly to ensure the NAEYC accreditation is once again renewed and<br />

our students continue to prosper in this program.<br />

The Special Education Department continues to collaborate closely with other state and local<br />

agencies including the Department <strong>of</strong> Mental Retardation, Department <strong>of</strong> Mental Health, and<br />

Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission. Our collaboration supports student efforts to remain<br />

in their homes, community, and neighborhood schools. Additionally, partnerships with these


agencies assist special needs students in receiving services post graduation or following their<br />

twenty-second birthday.<br />

Services are provided via Section 504 <strong>of</strong> the Rehabilitation Act <strong>of</strong> 1973 for those students who<br />

have a disability but are not eligible for special education services. Section 504 allows for<br />

accommodations to access the regular school curriculum. A Section 504 plan is typically a onepage<br />

document, accompanied by a copy <strong>of</strong> the district’s grievance procedures. A grievance<br />

procedure has been established and may be used by any disabled person (employee, job<br />

applicant, student, or parent) who feels the <strong>Auburn</strong> Public Schools has failed in its<br />

responsibilities under Section 504. Mr. Richard McInerny, Director <strong>of</strong> Pupil Services, has been<br />

designated as the Section 504 coordinator.<br />

Anyone interested in obtaining more information about special education and/or Section 504<br />

services should call the Office <strong>of</strong> Pupil Services at 508-832-7752.<br />

DEPARTMENT OF FACILITIES OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE<br />

Mr. Joseph Fahey, Director <strong>of</strong> Facilities and Maintenance<br />

I am pleased to present the 2009 report for the Department <strong>of</strong> Facilities, Operations, and<br />

Maintenance. The staff <strong>of</strong> this department has continued to work diligently to maintain and<br />

upgrade the physical condition <strong>of</strong> each school building and administrative <strong>of</strong>fices. I feel they<br />

have been highly successful with the improvements made this year and I am encouraged about<br />

similar results in the years to come.<br />

The goals <strong>of</strong> the department are to support the education <strong>of</strong> the students through a clean, safe<br />

environment; to provide regular preventative maintenance and capital improvements in the<br />

schools; and to use fiscal resources wisely.<br />

Our accomplishments to date are as follows:<br />

• Collaborated with the Sheriff’s department to secure the painting <strong>of</strong> our school buildings<br />

• Worked with principals to ensure preventative maintenance and repairs are ongoing in all<br />

District facilities<br />

• Provided training and conducted inspections in asbestos management for each building<br />

• Secured District-wide procurement <strong>of</strong> supplies and services<br />

• Served on the District’s Safety Committee, comprised <strong>of</strong> police, fire and school personnel<br />

• Collaborated with the <strong>Town</strong>’s Administration during State <strong>of</strong> Emergency Storm using<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> High School as a shelter<br />

• Provided strong oversight <strong>of</strong> the energy management program in all school buildings<br />

The goal <strong>of</strong> all capital repairs in the schools revolve around the safety and health needs <strong>of</strong> the<br />

students and staff. Capital improvements in the schools included the following work:<br />

• Repairs <strong>of</strong> boilers in all schools<br />

• Installation <strong>of</strong> four boilers at four school buildings<br />

• Installation <strong>of</strong> building automation controls for energy management in 5 buildings<br />

• Asbestos abatement and encapsulation in all schools and Central Office<br />

• Replacement <strong>of</strong> main sidewalk walkway at the Middle School<br />

• Refurbished both gyms’ flooring at <strong>Auburn</strong> Middle School<br />

• Refurbished Library and computer space at Julia Bancr<strong>of</strong>t<br />

.


In addition to the above accomplishments, the facilities and maintenance personnel have a<br />

strong commitment to ensuring the health and safety <strong>of</strong> students and staff. I believe we have<br />

improved the educational environment for students this year and have made improvements in<br />

the schools in a cost effective manner.<br />

DEPARTMENT OF TECHNOLOGY<br />

Mr. Eric Bouvier, Director <strong>of</strong> Technology<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> Public School district strives to provide a safe and secure technology environment<br />

for all our students and staff. Each school has computers available for student and teacher use,<br />

as well as a filtered Internet connection. We have a wide range <strong>of</strong> capacity with our computers,<br />

some are new while many are aging and facing obsolescence. We are committed to using all<br />

available resources to ensure that we can build and maintain a sustainable inventory <strong>of</strong> adequate<br />

technology for our users.<br />

We were excited to partner with the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> and <strong>Auburn</strong> Community Television to<br />

configure and procure a town wide, high speed fiber optic network this past year. Our new<br />

network has provided our schools with a high level <strong>of</strong> stability and bandwidth and eliminated<br />

persistent connection problems that have plagued us in the past. Through our new network we<br />

will be able to configure a district-wide network that will provide reliable and fast network<br />

services to our staff and students.<br />

The technology department is committed to providing the best technology environment to our<br />

students and staff. We believe that our children need a well rounded technology program<br />

integrated into their curriculum to prepare them for life in the 21 st Century. It is our belief that<br />

technology must serve teaching and learning in order for it to truly make a difference in<br />

education.<br />

We continue to seek new and exciting ways to bring technology to our students and we continue<br />

to look for innovative ways to responsibly bring technology into our schools.<br />

ATHLETICS<br />

Mr. William Garneau, Athletic Director<br />

This past year has seen two <strong>of</strong> our teams from our athletic program compete and win on the<br />

biggest stage that the Commonwealth <strong>of</strong> Massachusetts <strong>of</strong>fers to high school athletics.<br />

First, the <strong>Auburn</strong> football team returned to the Super Bowl and brought home another<br />

championship. The event was even more rewarding due to the fact that our community was able<br />

to host one <strong>of</strong> the largest events in high school sports. Less than twenty-four hours prior to game<br />

time we were notified that Worcester State College was not available as a site. The only solution<br />

was to play the game at <strong>Auburn</strong> High School. Organizing and preparing for such an event takes<br />

months <strong>of</strong> preparation, but with the help <strong>of</strong> the people and organizations in our community we<br />

were able to pull <strong>of</strong>f a fantastic event.<br />

Secondly, our baseball team returned to the State final game for the second year in a row. With<br />

some great coaching, talented play, and lady luck on our side, we were able to add a second state<br />

championship banner in one year’s time to the rafters <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Auburn</strong> High School Gymnasium.<br />

As our 2009-2010 school year begins, we have been able to continue the winning traditions with<br />

all <strong>of</strong> our teams headed to post season play. None <strong>of</strong> this could be accomplished without a team


effort from all involved. The support from School Committee, administration, youth programs,<br />

parents, coaches, and student-athletes makes working in <strong>Auburn</strong> a special and rewarding<br />

experience.<br />

The number one priority, though, is to keep the focus on academics for our student-athletes. We<br />

have challenged them on the playing fields and we are focused on raising the bar even higher in<br />

the classrooms.<br />

Our responsibility to give back to the community that supports our programs continues through<br />

our Community Service Projects. Each team is responsible for completing a project before their<br />

season is completed.<br />

We have seen some changes in our physical education programs with the addition <strong>of</strong> junior and<br />

seniors having a choice <strong>of</strong> taking PE as an elective. Still, ninety students took advantage <strong>of</strong> our<br />

high quality program which focuses on cardiovascular improvement, strength conditioning, and<br />

tactical games.<br />

In 2009, the Athletic Department realized many accomplishments, some <strong>of</strong> which included:<br />

• Football 2008 Super Bowl Champions<br />

• Girls’ Soccer District Qualifications<br />

• Field Hockey SWCL Champions and District Qualification<br />

• Golf SWCL Champions<br />

• Ice Hockey District Qualification<br />

• Baseball State Champions<br />

• Boys’ and Girls’ Cross-Country (2 students qualified for the state meet)<br />

• Multiple Indoor and Spring Track Athletes in District and State Competitions<br />

• Boys’ Tennis District Qualification<br />

• Girls’ Golf State Tournament appearance<br />

• Continued growth <strong>of</strong> FBS (Faster-Bigger-Stronger) Program (190 athletes, 3 times/week<br />

for the entire summer participated in this strength and conditioning program)<br />

• Community Service projects continued to be accomplished by all teams<br />

• MIAA Sportsmanship Honor Roll for 2009 Year<br />

• Joe Gleason Sportsmanship Award in baseball (4 years in a row)<br />

DEPARTMENT OF FINE ARTS<br />

Mr. Charles Pietrello, Fine Arts Director<br />

The Fine Arts Education Department presented over forty public performances, marched in two<br />

parades, performed in fifteen Music Education Festivals/Adjudications, provided many displays<br />

and art presentations, and participated in Art competitions.<br />

Over 50 fifth graders now participate in the Grade Five Band Program. The Private<br />

Instrumental/Voice Lesson Program continued to succeed with the help <strong>of</strong> more than twelve<br />

private instructors. Both programs are funded by parental tuition. The inception <strong>of</strong> an All-<strong>Town</strong><br />

Elementary Chorus proved to be a great success as over 50 students from grades 1-4 performed<br />

in an evening concert in March at <strong>Auburn</strong> High School.<br />

The Fine Arts staff is to be commended for its outstanding work with children in our community.<br />

Their dedication is evident in the success <strong>of</strong> our student musicians and artists.


AUBURN HIGH SCHOOL<br />

Mr. Casey Handfield, Principal<br />

Ms. Eileen Donahue, Assistant Principal<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> High School has been extremely busy during the last year. In accordance with the new 5<br />

year District Strategic Plan ratified by the School Committee in November 2007, <strong>Auburn</strong> High<br />

School revised its own 5 year improvement plan. Approved by the School Committee in May<br />

2008, <strong>Auburn</strong> High School’s revised improvement plan synthesizes the District Strategic Plan<br />

down to three primary areas: the improvement <strong>of</strong> curriculum and instruction, community<br />

outreach, and health and wellness issues. Recommendations from Breaking Ranks II: Strategies<br />

for Successful High School Reform and the high school’s 2007 NEASC report are also included<br />

in the high school’s revised improvement plan. Faculty committees have progressed into the<br />

stated initiatives listed under year two <strong>of</strong> the high school’s revised improvement plan. The<br />

strategic plan for the <strong>Auburn</strong> Public Schools, as well as the improvement plan for <strong>Auburn</strong> High<br />

School, is located at www.auburnrockets.com.<br />

In the area <strong>of</strong> curriculum and instruction, high school faculty and staff have been working in<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Learning Communities to prepare for a transition into a trimester schedule next<br />

year. In addition, work is ongoing in the areas <strong>of</strong> developing advisory programs, revising the<br />

school report card to include evaluation <strong>of</strong> how well students are meeting social and civic<br />

expectations in the school’s mission statement, and ensuring formative assessments and more<br />

authentic assessment opportunities are being developed for students. MCAS and AP scores<br />

continue to improve. The third part <strong>of</strong> the plan to improve standardized testing performance<br />

started this year with a focus on improving SAT scores.<br />

The Community Outreach Committee continues to give back to the <strong>Auburn</strong> community as a<br />

show <strong>of</strong> gratitude for their support <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> High School. Some examples <strong>of</strong> activities<br />

undertaken by the Community Outreach Committee include high school students creating a<br />

haunted house and Santa’s Village for the elementary children <strong>of</strong> the town in the fall and winter,<br />

free passes for business owners in town to attend home basketball games in recognition <strong>of</strong> their<br />

generous support <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> High School, and a free showing <strong>of</strong> the high school’s fall musical<br />

“Beauty and the Beast” for the town’s senior citizens, with free pastries and c<strong>of</strong>fee after the<br />

performance.<br />

Finally, faculty and students are working on identifying the health and wellness needs <strong>of</strong> the<br />

school community. In conjunction with the state Department <strong>of</strong> Public Health, a health and<br />

wellness survey was distributed last year to faculty and students. Data regarding several health<br />

and wellness issues that specifically affect <strong>Auburn</strong> High School is being examined with<br />

programming and awareness activities to follow soon for students. It is fairly well known that<br />

people are more attentive and productive when they feel healthy and happy. The data garnered<br />

from these surveys will be interesting and informative, while serving to assist <strong>Auburn</strong> High<br />

School in its quest to become a premiere high school in Central Massachusetts.<br />

AUBURN MIDDLE SCHOOL<br />

Mr. Joseph Gagnon, Principal<br />

Mr. John Giordano, Assistant Principal<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> Middle School is in a year <strong>of</strong> positive transitions and is refocusing on our goals &<br />

beliefs: Scholarship, Athletics, and Community Service. We are in the process <strong>of</strong> aligning our<br />

goals with the District’s Strategic Plan, as outlined below.


Curriculum Development - We have concentrated on mathematics this year using data to drive<br />

our instruction. All teachers are incorporating at least five minutes <strong>of</strong> math instruction relative to<br />

their subject matter. Math teachers are utilizing Test Wiz to tailor their instruction, focusing on<br />

identified target gaps, namely, open-response questions, measurement, and number sense. The<br />

middle school has added a Math II teacher who pre-teaches, teaches, and then re-teaches MCAS<br />

math using differentiated instruction paired with Study Island and manipulatives to motivate<br />

students. In addition to this, we have added three additional sections <strong>of</strong> Math II in order to reach<br />

more students in the targeted sub-groups. We are working to introduce common assessments or<br />

benchmarks to track student learning as we progress through the year. Pacing guides are a goal<br />

for this year to ensure that we are breaking down the frameworks into manageable timelines<br />

before the May testing. The district has assisted the middle school by hiring a part-time “Math<br />

Coach” who is coordinating many <strong>of</strong> these endeavors. The middle school continues to <strong>of</strong>fer a<br />

rigorous program <strong>of</strong> studies including Pre-Algebra and Algebra I. The developmental reading<br />

program in grade six continues to ready our middle school readers utilizing the LEXIA reading<br />

program and a data driven approach in finding and addressing target gap areas to promote those<br />

qualities in helping students to bring out the avid reader in them. Social Studies has been<br />

working on bringing more intra-disciplinary units to their departments with a kick <strong>of</strong>f this fall on<br />

Egypt, having fun with Pyramids and Pharaohs. Science, as well, has taken on the task <strong>of</strong> intradisciplinary<br />

units by putting together a unit on geological studies <strong>of</strong> our local Mount Wachusett<br />

with a culminating hike to the top. I would be remiss not to mention our Unified Arts faculty<br />

who has been hard at work on both a Grade Eight “Career Day” and a “Math in Our World Day.”<br />

The Middle School continues to develop a program that fosters community service with our<br />

Student Council leading many endeavors throughout the community: Soles for Souls and Toy &<br />

Food Drives for <strong>Auburn</strong> Youth and Family Services, to name but a few. The band, chorus,<br />

athletic teams, and field experiences all play an important role in developing the students’ whole<br />

self as we “Strive for Excellence,” the District’s overarching goal.<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Development - The <strong>Auburn</strong> Middle School teachers, staff and administrators have<br />

been working diligently in mastering the new IPASS online data base program for our school.<br />

Many <strong>of</strong> our teachers are working on curriculum revisions and writing under the direction <strong>of</strong> our<br />

“new” Teaching, Learning and Curriculum Coordinator, Mrs. Kathy Lauzé. This winter we will<br />

be back in the classroom with John Collins and his method <strong>of</strong> expository writing. The entire<br />

district participated in an <strong>of</strong>fering presented by the Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center<br />

on Anti-Bullying by Dr. Elizabeth Englander. This fall, ten <strong>of</strong> our faculty members were trained<br />

in the Applied Non-Violence approach to physical restraints. Several members were new to the<br />

program and underwent three days <strong>of</strong> training to be certified in this technique <strong>of</strong> crisis<br />

intervention and behavior management services. On each <strong>of</strong> the in-service days, teachers, under<br />

the direction <strong>of</strong> school based curriculum coordinators, have worked on S.M.A.R.T Goals for<br />

their respective departments and interdisciplinary units for their teams. Administrators<br />

participated in a 37 ½ hour training that started in the summer and continued through the fall<br />

emphasizing “Teacher Evaluation That Works” and “Instructional Practices That Maximize<br />

Student Achievement” by Ribas, Deane, and Seider. A subgroup committee <strong>of</strong> teachers began<br />

the initial stages <strong>of</strong> training to bring Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), the<br />

data driven program that decreases inappropriate behaviors and increases time on learning, to<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> Middle School. The program PBIS will be implemented in the fall <strong>of</strong> 2010.<br />

Technology - The Middle School was able to reopen the AMS Library as a Library/Media Center<br />

where students can utilize sixteen refurbished computers to do research, type projects and/or<br />

research papers. Students are able to access from both school and home a web-based program,<br />

Study Island, that utilizes both written and visual prompts to pre-teach, teach, and re-teach


concepts in Math, Science and Social Studies. Our web site has some new features added where<br />

every team posts homework weekly with an archive <strong>of</strong> past assignments. In addition, the web<br />

site has all teachers’ e-mail address with a direct link for parents to contact teachers. The Middle<br />

School will continue to update and increase the number <strong>of</strong> computers available to students. A<br />

top priority will be to seek out funding for the expansion <strong>of</strong> digital projectors with the ability to<br />

access the Internet.<br />

Create a Cohesive Team - This past summer the Middle School recruited seven teachers to fill<br />

the rather large shoes <strong>of</strong> those who retired from the previous year. It is a goal <strong>of</strong> both the district<br />

and <strong>Auburn</strong> Middle School to recruit and retain the best available teachers and staff. The current<br />

state policy requires that a district provide a year <strong>of</strong> mentoring for all new teachers to the district.<br />

The program at the Middle School is directed by a veteran faculty who meet on a regular basis<br />

with both the mentors and the protégés.<br />

Improve/Provide Facilities that will Meet the Educational Demands <strong>of</strong> the Future - This summer<br />

was indeed a busy one here at AMS where many building projects were completed utilizing both<br />

Capital Improvement Plan funds, volunteer workers, and donated materials. Both gymnasium<br />

floors were refurbished, sanded, refinished, and lined. The walls took on a new look with a fresh<br />

coat <strong>of</strong> paint completed by a community service work force provided by Sheriff Guy W. Glodis.<br />

The gyms are utilized both day and night during basketball season by all members <strong>of</strong> the<br />

community. The library had a major renovation with the floor being covered by a new rug as<br />

part <strong>of</strong> an asbestos abatement project. A local vendor moved its <strong>of</strong>fice out <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> and<br />

donated two, four-unit pr<strong>of</strong>essional cubicles which now house sixteen refurbished computers.<br />

The front sidewalk and curb were replaced by CIP funds in order to comply with the American<br />

Disabilities Act (A.D.A.) and safety concerns as there were many frost heaves that left it<br />

unmanageable for those with disabilities. The safety committee meets bi-weekly at the Middle<br />

School to discuss issues, plan drills and work with both the Central Office and local <strong>of</strong>ficials to<br />

set policies for the safety <strong>of</strong> our students and the community at large.<br />

JULIA BANCROFT SCHOOL<br />

Mrs. Kathy Goldstein, Principal<br />

Our school’s achievement <strong>of</strong> Annual Yearly Progress (AYP) in the spring 2008 MCAS affirmed<br />

our commitment to continuous improvement. We realized growth in Mathematics and English<br />

Language Arts and attribute that success to targeted instruction, analysis <strong>of</strong> data, and intervention<br />

programs to support high expectations for all students.<br />

In joint efforts <strong>of</strong> alignment <strong>of</strong> curriculum and practice, we continue to advance our collaborative<br />

efforts with the Pakachoag, Mary D. Stone and Bryn Mawr Schools. Our focus on literacy has<br />

been fortified through the efforts <strong>of</strong> our elementary schools’ Literacy Committee, including the<br />

investigation and determination <strong>of</strong> a common phonics program and standards for summer<br />

reading. We continue to assess student progress through common assessments and use that data<br />

to inform instruction.<br />

Our first annual Family Literacy Night brought many families together and has inspired our<br />

hosting <strong>of</strong> two <strong>of</strong> these events in the coming year. We will hold our first school-wide<br />

Vocabulary Parade along with our annual tribute to Dr. Seuss in the spring.<br />

We have renovated space in the lower level <strong>of</strong> the original Julia Bancr<strong>of</strong>t building to create a<br />

new library. The renovated space <strong>of</strong>fers natural light in a room with windows and improved<br />

shelving that came to us through a community donation. Supported through parent volunteers


and funds raised through several campaigns, our new library space will enable our students to<br />

expand their reading, writing and use <strong>of</strong> media to strengthen their literacy.<br />

Through the Title I grant, we have welcomed two math parapr<strong>of</strong>essionals to our staff. Their<br />

support <strong>of</strong> teachers and students impacts achievement by maintaining a smaller student-teacher<br />

ratio with increased opportunities for differentiated instruction. Data is maintained not only in<br />

these classes, but across all grades and levels and is used to guide on-going interventions.<br />

In Art, Music and Physical Education, we <strong>of</strong>fer students opportunities to explore areas <strong>of</strong> interest<br />

and make connections between the core curriculum and the arts. Through concerts, an art exhibit<br />

and activities such as the newly formed Walking Club, the Cross <strong>Town</strong> Race, which Julia<br />

Bancr<strong>of</strong>t won this fall, we see our students thriving.<br />

Through the curriculum, we also engage students in service learning within the community and<br />

social action in the world beyond our town. For the second year, our students in Physical<br />

Education have competed in a Turkey Trot to raise money for Heifer International. For the size<br />

<strong>of</strong> our school and our funds raised, we have been commended. We have also donated to local<br />

animal shelters and <strong>Auburn</strong> Youth and Family Services. In the <strong>Auburn</strong> Fire Department’s Fire<br />

Safety Poster Contest, our students earned first and second place honors, creating posters that<br />

inspired safe habits. In each <strong>of</strong> these efforts, our students are cultivating life-long habits <strong>of</strong><br />

service.<br />

Having completed our first year <strong>of</strong> training in the Positive Behavior Support – PBS grant<br />

initiative with the Pakachoag School, we have created goals and action plans to implement the<br />

program school-wide. With a system <strong>of</strong> incentives, we have immersed all students in practice<br />

sessions <strong>of</strong> behavioral expectations in all venues <strong>of</strong> the school experience and will continue to<br />

collect data on behavior and use that data to maintain a safe, positive learning environment for<br />

the Julia Bancr<strong>of</strong>t learning community.<br />

Throughout the school year, our efforts are significantly impacted by the involvement <strong>of</strong> our<br />

parent body and a dedicated District I PTO. Field trips, spree days, and other enrichment<br />

programs are all supported through the PTO. Their vision and support <strong>of</strong> our teachers and<br />

students help expand learning opportunities well beyond the classroom.<br />

It has been a positive, productive year overall. We look forward to building upon our<br />

accomplishments and meeting the challenges that we have set for ourselves through our strategic<br />

plan and commitment to continuous improvement.<br />

BRYN MAWR SCHOOL<br />

Mrs. Patricia Haggerty, Principal<br />

Bryn Mawr School, like the other elementary schools in the district, is a microcosm <strong>of</strong> society<br />

and an example <strong>of</strong> community. We work together, learn together, and as our mission statement<br />

suggests, “we grow with respect.” Every day presents new opportunities and new challenges for<br />

our 250 students. Since the primary level <strong>of</strong>fers a foundation to students, we take that calling<br />

very seriously. We look for ways to reach each child and to address their varying needs.<br />

Reading is crucial at this level, and we use our literacy block judiciously to promote reading,<br />

writing, and higher-order thinking. The Houghton-Mifflin Series remains our program <strong>of</strong> choice.<br />

Leveled readers and the Great Leaps program add to the fluency <strong>of</strong> our young readers. Leveled<br />

readers are also used in social studies and science to enhance those areas. We rely on


assessments such as the DRA 2 (Developmental Reading Assessment) and DIBELS (Dynamic<br />

Indicators <strong>of</strong> Basic Early Literacy Skills) to guide our instruction. The Everyday Math Series is<br />

used for mathematics. A math parapr<strong>of</strong>essional services some <strong>of</strong> our students who require<br />

additional support.<br />

Part <strong>of</strong> Bryn Mawr’s School Improvement Plan addresses service-learning. We use this<br />

methodology to engage students and to encourage citizenship and community involvement.<br />

Each grade level sponsors an after-school service learning activity. Additionally, either different<br />

grade levels or the entire school participates in a service-learning project funded through DESE<br />

(the Department <strong>of</strong> Elementary and Secondary Education) and Learn and Serve America. To<br />

further the concept <strong>of</strong> good citizenship, we have a “Good Citizens Program” and we use<br />

“positive penguins” to reinforce positive behavior.<br />

At Bryn Mawr, we are fortunate to have many wonderful parent volunteers who assist with<br />

various programs including Rockets to Reading. This is a long-standing initiative that puts<br />

books in the hands <strong>of</strong> children each week. It is thanks to our volunteers that this program<br />

flourishes. Our many community partners enrich the lives <strong>of</strong> our students and our school<br />

community. Some <strong>of</strong> our partners are <strong>Auburn</strong> Youth and Family Services, the Council on<br />

Aging, Stoneville Heights, and Worcester Homeless Veterans Shelter. We also have a wonderful<br />

collaboration with <strong>Auburn</strong> Middle School.<br />

PAKACHOAG SCHOOL<br />

Mrs. Deb Kozik, Principal<br />

Pakachoag School served 255 students in grades three through five during the 2008-2009 school<br />

year. The Pakachoag School’s School Improvement Plan was put into action in tandem with the<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> Public Schools’ Strategic Plan. With the support <strong>of</strong> the Pakachoag School Council,<br />

School Leadership Team, District II PTO, faculty, staff, parents, our students and community<br />

members alike, we continued to work collaboratively toward continual improvement <strong>of</strong> our<br />

programs and facility.<br />

The community is a large part <strong>of</strong> any school’s success. At Pakachoag we are fortunate to have<br />

the support <strong>of</strong> <strong>Auburn</strong> Youth and Family Services, the <strong>Auburn</strong> Police and Fire Departments, the<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> Chamber <strong>of</strong> Commerce School/Business Partnership Program, the <strong>Auburn</strong> Education<br />

Foundation and the District II PTO. Because <strong>of</strong> these alliances, our students have benefited from<br />

teacher mini-grants, attended field trips, learned about their community, and were introduced to<br />

service learning projects. These partnerships are truly helping to educate the whole child.<br />

High quality pr<strong>of</strong>essional development for all staff is essential for maintaining best practices in<br />

the classroom. Past training and reinforcement <strong>of</strong> them help drive lesson planning and<br />

instruction. The Response to Intervention model and D.I.B.E.L.S assessments continued as part<br />

<strong>of</strong> the elementary literacy initiative. Data collection and regular data meetings are another means<br />

through which we stay informed <strong>of</strong> student progress and instruction.<br />

Data collection and evaluation <strong>of</strong> that data is essential for program and student growth.<br />

Evaluation takes place daily and in many forms. One common form used across the state is the<br />

MCAS. The 2009 spring MCAS scores show Pakachoag students continued to perform better<br />

than the state average in third, fourth and fifth grade English Language Arts. In mathematics,<br />

our fourth and fifth graders also performed better than the state average. As with all learning,<br />

there is still room for improvement. Our dedicated staff is using this data and other sources to<br />

better our instruction and support services for our students.


Our technology goal is to improve and expand students’ technology competencies to ensure<br />

students learn effectively and live productively in an increasingly digital world. Through the<br />

addition <strong>of</strong> Smart Boards, staff training in Project E-Lite, a school-based technology<br />

representative, and a computer lab available to all classrooms, we continue to make strides in<br />

that direction.<br />

Our building, old as it may be, remains a well-kept and inviting place for our students; many<br />

thanks to our custodial staff and Director <strong>of</strong> Facilities for the large part they play in that reality.<br />

In April we began the process <strong>of</strong> replacing the old boiler in the newer addition. Many controls<br />

were converted to allow for electronic monitoring <strong>of</strong> the new boiler and the heating throughout<br />

the building. More phases await us in this large process.<br />

All pieces <strong>of</strong> the puzzle are essential for the whole picture to shine. It is for that reason that I<br />

thank the Superintendent, the School Committee, parents, and staff for their impressive efforts<br />

and support <strong>of</strong> Pakachoag School. Our shared goals drive us forward, together.<br />

MARY D. STONE SCHOOL<br />

Mrs. Elizabeth Chase, Principal<br />

During 2008-2009, the Mary D. Stone School supported the educational and social development<br />

<strong>of</strong> 316 children. Our comprehensive primary school, <strong>of</strong>fering an integrated preschool,<br />

kindergarten, and grades one and two, continued to present excellent academic programs,<br />

enrichment opportunities, support services, and a nurturing environment for its young students.<br />

The Mary D. Stone School focused its initiatives based on federal and state mandates, the<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> Public Schools’ District Strategic Plan as well as the goals outlined in the Mary D. Stone<br />

School Improvement Plan. Aligning instruction and assessment with the high standards set forth<br />

by the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks, the Mary D. Stone School strives to have all<br />

students develop pr<strong>of</strong>iciency in English language arts and mathematics. Other core curricular<br />

areas, including science and social studies, are enhanced with art, music, health/wellness,<br />

physical education, library and technology.<br />

Support services that ensured student learning included occupational, physical, and speech<br />

therapies, Applied Behavior Analysis, and ongoing screenings to identify any preschooler in<br />

need <strong>of</strong> special education. Special educators at every grade level provide modifications and<br />

accommodations for children with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). A full time R.N.<br />

monitored the health <strong>of</strong> all students and staff and provided annual hearing and vision screenings.<br />

Literacy development continued to be a primary focus <strong>of</strong> our work. Ninety minute literacy<br />

blocks provided uninterrupted instructional time committed to teaching reading and writing. We<br />

<strong>of</strong>fer a balanced approach to instruction that is guided by our core program, Houghton Mifflin’s<br />

Reading. Several supplemental programs including Bradley Phonics are used by the teaching<br />

staff to meet the needs <strong>of</strong> our developing readers. In addition, all students participate in a guided<br />

reading group matched to their current instructional level. Additional building based initiatives<br />

support literacy development, including reading incentive programs and a “Word <strong>of</strong> the Week”<br />

that strives to expand the vocabulary <strong>of</strong> the students. A variety <strong>of</strong> assessments are used to<br />

monitor student progress and to determine future instruction.<br />

Mathematics instruction continued to be delivered by the research-based Everyday Math<br />

program. In addition, the use <strong>of</strong> manipulatives, open-response questions and math facts practice


continue to enhance our curriculum. The Before School Math Club continues to <strong>of</strong>fer support for<br />

struggling students. The staff <strong>of</strong> the Mary D. Stone School was represented this year on the<br />

district-wide Mathematics Committee. This committee was charged with aligning assessments<br />

across the district.<br />

Providing a safe environment that supports learning is fundamental for the success <strong>of</strong> the<br />

students at the Mary D. Stone School. A number <strong>of</strong> practices, programs and initiatives support<br />

this. School wide rules provide consistent expectations throughout the building. The guidance<br />

counselor provides weekly lessons to all students and continues to <strong>of</strong>fer social skills and<br />

friendship groups giving children another opportunity to practice skills in a social setting.<br />

Continued implementation <strong>of</strong> the Second Step Program, an anti-violence program which<br />

develops empathy, anger management, and appropriate social responses, is in place in grades K-<br />

2. No-Name Calling Month was celebrated in January with a variety <strong>of</strong> activities designed to<br />

foster a culture <strong>of</strong> respect. Caught Being Good postcards are mailed home periodically to<br />

children who demonstrate kind, helpful behavior. Monthly character education themes are<br />

celebrated through literature, displays and classroom activities.<br />

In cooperation with the Director <strong>of</strong> Facilities and Maintenance and the custodians <strong>of</strong> Mary D.<br />

Stone School, special attention was paid to the physical upkeep and appearance <strong>of</strong> the school.<br />

Improvements included the painting <strong>of</strong> the gym and other student areas, carpeting was installed<br />

or replaced in the library and several other areas, and new library shelves were installed as a<br />

result <strong>of</strong> a service learning project completed in conjunction with <strong>Auburn</strong> High School students.<br />

Landscaping in the front <strong>of</strong> the school was planted by MDS families and staff during the annual<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong> clean-up day in the spring. Lettering on the entrance door now welcomes all visitors to<br />

our school.<br />

The Mary D. Stone School values its successful partnerships with parents and the community.<br />

The District II P.T.O. continued its long tradition <strong>of</strong> generously sponsoring programs and events<br />

that enhance the educational process such as field trips and cultural arts programs. Numerous<br />

volunteers continued to help our students and teachers on a daily basis. The Mary D. Stone<br />

School Council continued its important advisory role and helped to prioritize school<br />

improvement initiatives. Service learning projects created community connections. Other<br />

valuable community associations included the <strong>Auburn</strong> Police Department for sponsoring the<br />

Officer Phil program, the <strong>Auburn</strong> Fire Department for its fire safety programs and the Bay State<br />

Savings Bank for its weekly, on-site banking program.<br />

On behalf <strong>of</strong> the faculty and staff, I would like to thank the Superintendent, the School<br />

Committee and the members <strong>of</strong> the Mary D. Stone Community for their ongoing support.<br />

Together we can continue to provide the educational excellence our students deserve.
