Ms. Whittemore spoke again against the amendment and stated the need for a comprehensive plan to remove the weeds.

A True Copy ATTEST: Geri Holland Town Clerk 99 ANIMAL CONTROL 2015 Dog Licenses Issued 1802 2015 Kennel Licenses Issued 7 2015 Dog and Cat Bites 9 Although the number of dogs picked up in the year 2015 seem low, this is not the true picture. Thanks to the people of Hopkinton for putting the “license tags” on their dogs we have been able to match dogs-owners in record time! IT IS THE LAW: All dogs must be licensed in the town of Hopkinton and wear their tags. Throughout the year of 2015 we have had numerous phone calls pertaining to Wildlife. These calls include coyotes, foxes, skunks, raccoon and deer spottings, etc. We have had a tremendous amount of squirrel calls, as well. Please make sure that all chimneys are capped and keep doors and windows closed. According the Massachusetts State Law, Massachusetts Fisheries and Wildlife; their job is to protect the wildlife in Massachusetts. We evaluate every wildlife call and take care of the ones we can, especially any animal suspicious of having rabies. Wildlife situations as: “living in my basement/attic/garage were forwarded to the proper licenses professionals according to the rules and regulations of the State of Massachusetts. We encourage residents to keep garage doors closed, keep covers on trash cans, do not feed domestic animals outside and do not ever feed wildlife. Other calls throughout the year 2015 were usual missing dogs/stray dogs/missing & stray cats/dog complaints/dog bites/hit dogs/hit cats/stolen dogs/animal rescues, etc. We respond to these calls either by telephone or by evaluating the situation. We have several “police calls” and many of these are during the evening hours. We would like to thank the Hopkinton Police and fire Departments for their continuous support and assistance in many of these calls. BOARD OF APPEALS The Board of Appeals is a quasi-judicial administrative board that hears and decides zoning related appeals, applications for special permits, and petitions for variances pursuant to its authority under MGL c. 40A, and applications for affordable and low income housing projects pursuant to its authority under MGL c. 40B. The Board has jurisdiction to hear appeals filed by any person aggrieved by reason of his or her inability to obtain a building permit or enforcement action from the Director of Municipal Inspections, or by any person, including an officer or board of the town, aggrieved by a written order or decision of the Zoning Enforcement Officer, the Planning Board with respect to decisions under site plan review, and the Historical Commission with respect to delays of demolition permits. The Board of Appeals generally schedules public hearings on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM in the Selectmen’s Hearing Room at Town Hall. Additional information regarding the Board of Appeals is available on the Town’s web site at www.Hopkintonma.gov. Persons filing with the Board of Appeals are strongly encouraged to visit the Board’s web pages and the “Questions & Answers” section prior to filing any request for relief with the Board. In 2015, the Board of Appeals issued 14 decisions, and some form of relief was granted in a majority of cases. Decisions granting relief were issued in the following categories – 15 Special 100 Permits (40A), 4 Variances. There were 4 Appeals of a decision of the Zoning Enforcement Officer; in three cases the decisions were upheld and in the other the decision was overturned. Finally, there was one hearing that involved a 40B project. It was a continuation from the previous year for a Comprehensive Permit from Hopkinton Mews LLC; the Comprehensive Permit was approved by the Board. In accordance with state law, decisions of the Board of Appeals are timely filed with the Town Clerk within 100 days of the initial filing of the request for relief in the case of Appeals and Petitions for Variances, and within 90 days following the close of the public hearing in the case of Applications for 40A Special Permits. Decisions relating to Applications for 40B Comprehensive Special Permits are timely filed with the Town Clerk within 40 days after the close of the public hearing. These deadlines may be extended at the request of the party requesting relief, and on more complex filings this frequently occurs to enable the applicant to file additional pertinent information with the Board. Notwithstanding, public hearings for an overwhelming majority of cases are concluded on the first night. We wish to thank all Town departments and committees who have assisted the Board during the past year, with special thanks to the employees within the Department of Land Use, Planning and Permitting. We extend special thanks to Elaine Lazarus, the Director of Land Use, Planning and Permitting, Charles Kadlik, the Director of Municipal Inspections and Zoning Enforcement Officer, Michael Shepard, the Building Inspector and Adina Wright and Cobi Wallace, for their continued service and dedicated commitment.

Loan funding is supplied by the MA Water Pollution Abatement Trust (WPAT) through the Department of Environmental Protection. Three homeowners were in the program for 2015. Any town resident seeking more information about this Loan Program should contact the Board of Health office at (508) 497-9725. Water Wells The Board of Health reviews private well installation/deepening plans for drinking water and irrigation wells, witnesses the water quantity testing to ensure that an adequate water supply is met, and reviews comprehensive analysis reports for potential contaminants on all new private wells. The office issued 23 permits for new wells. Town regulations also require comprehensive quality testing at homes that are supplied with private well water, prior to the transfer of ownership of the property, if the testing has not been conducted within the last five (5) years; copies of test reports should be submitted to the office. The Board recommends that residents test their wells at least every five years in order to be sure the quality of their drinking water is satisfactory. Emergency Preparedness Planning The Board of Health has streamlined its participation with thirty-three other member towns in Region 4A, the Department of Public Health, and the Federal Office of Home Land Security in preparedness planning, with an emphasis on bio-terrorism, widespread communicable disease events, and all-hazards emergency planning. The Board is still seeking to organize volunteers within the town with medical and non-medical backgrounds to provide supplemental assistance to the First Responders during an event of large scale, or for long term emergencies in Hopkinton. Disease Prevention The Natick Visiting Nurses Association (VNA) provides professional nursing services to the Town, and participates in the seasonal flu clinics, investigates cases of mandatory, reportable communicable diseases within the Town of Hopkinton.

Mercury Reduction A mercury reduction program was established in Town in an effort to remove mercury from the waste stream, and to reduce the discharge of mercury pollution into the environment. Residents may bring their mercury-containing thermometers to the Board of Health, and exchange them for digital thermometers as part of the mercury recycling efforts. The office also accepts button cell batteries and old thermostats that contain mercury. Residents should be aware that florescent bulbs contain a small amount of mercury that may be reclaimed, and these bulbs cannot be disposed of in the trash. Residents may drop off their used florescent bulbs during business hours at Hopkinton Lumber, so they can be recycled. We want to express our appreciation to this business for their support in reducing the amount of mercury going into our waste stream. Goals The Board of Health hopes to continue to strive to maintain the Town’s health and environmental protection.

The CAC negotiates renewals of cable licenses, conducts "ascertainment" proceedings needed to support renewal license negotiations, and advises the Board of Selectmen as to license renewal requests. In 2015, the CAC held its initial ascertainment proceeding concerning the possible renewal of the Verizon cable license. The ascertainment proceeding was well attended. The CAC's goals for 2016 is to continue to collect information relative to the Verizon renewal, and to negotiate the terms of a license renewal that is favorable to the Town. Respectfully submitted, Cable Advisory Committee CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT COMMITTE The Hopkinton Capital Improvement Committee is charged with planning for long range capital spending and maintenance for expenditures of $25,000 or greater. We take the following approach to this task: 106 1) Meet with town departments and committees to anticipate, identify, and evaluate the major capital projects before the town in the next ten years and determine the year in which funds will be appropriated for each. 2) Determine the sources of funding and net costs to the taxpayers once reimbursements, grants, and rate-payer enterprise funds are accounted for. 3) Provide information to the town manager so capital expenditures can be included in the overall financial planning process, and impact on the annual budget can be assessed. 4) Create and publish the annual Ten-Year Capital Report showing capital projects, facility maintenance, and capital equipment upgrades and renewal. Respectfully submitted, Christian Franklin, Chairman CEMETERY COMMISSION The Cemetery Commission is an elected, three-member board charged with overseeing the town’s cemetery needs. Offering cemetery space and services is an important municipal function which towns are required to provide their citizens under Massachusetts law. In recent years, Hopkinton’s ability to meet this municipal requirement was threatened by a lack of suitable new cemetery land. In 2015, the town finally guaranteed its long-term ability to provide cemetery space by purchasing 2.5 acres of land adjacent to the Mt. Auburn Cemetery. This new property should offer suitable burial space for the next 40 – 50 yrs. Although improvements will be needed before the land is ready to use, this much needed acquisition will enable Hopkinton to meet the needs of its growing population well into the future. With Community Preservation Act funding, the Cemetery Commission launched a project to digitize all of the town’s cemetery records, as a means of both preserving them and making them easily available to the public. All of the burial records and lot maps have been transferred from a vulnerable paper format and will be on the town’s website by early spring of 2016. This project is in keeping with the town’s overall objective of making our public records available on- line. It will greatly assist in preservation, in research, and in bringing our records management into the 21st century. The Commission has continued to repair and reset many broken historic headstones in the Main St. Cemetery, funded by the Community Preservation Act. The Commission also arranged for the planting of three new shade trees at Mt. Auburn Cemetery to replace several aged maples removed the previous year. The tree planting of 2015 was made possible through the generosity of the Charles Holman Trust Fund and will allow the shady, peaceful beauty of this area to be retained. As part of the Town of Hopkinton’s 300th Anniversary and the many events celebrating our history, Civil War walking tours at Evergreen Cemetery were offered on Memorial Day, led by a Commission member. The program traced pivotal events of the war through the stories of some of Hopkinton’s Civil War veterans. The Cemetery Commission’s site on the town website provides information on services and projects and in 2016 will offer all of our public cemetery records. Also included is a video tour of the town’s historic Comey Chapel, with information for its use. The goal of the Cemetery 107 Commission continues to be to provide for the maintenance, improvement, and expansion of our cemeteries and their related services. Respectfully submitted, Lynn Fournier, Chairman Thomas Pratt Claire Wright HOPKINTON COMMISSIONERS OF TRUST FUNDS The Commissioners of Trust Funds is a three member elected board, presently Sandra King Altamura, Maureen Bumiller, and Muriel Kramer, that acts in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 41 and Chapter 44, Section 54.

Respectfully submitted, Sandra King Altamura, Chair Maureen Bumiller, Secretary Muriel Kramer, Investment Liaison COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE To the Citizens of Hopkinton Overview The Community Preservation Act (Massachusetts General Laws; Chapter 267) was signed into law in 2000. This legislation allows cities and towns to create their own community preservation funds through a surcharge of up to 3% of the local tax levy on real property. In 2001, the citizens of Hopkinton adopted a CPA bylaw and thereby approved a 2% surcharge to their property taxes. Revenue from this surcharge is dedicated for the preservation of open space, historic sites, affordable housing and passive/active outdoor recreation in the Town. Local revenue is supplemented through the state Community Preservation Trust Fund. Money for this fund is derived from fees charged at Massachusetts Registries of Deeds. In July of 2012, an amendment to Chapter 267 added $25 Million to this fund. The availability of funds depends on 109 two factors; the number of deeds registered in a given year and the number of communities competing for state CPA dollars. Under the provisions of the CPA, a Hopkinton Community Preservation Committee was established to identify the Town’s needs, capabilities and resources with regard to community preservation. The CPC considers proposals made by groups and individuals to ensure they meet the criteria of the law benefit the community and are financially feasible. The Committee then makes recommendations to Annual Town Meeting. The CPC may include in its recommendations a request to set aside for later spending funds for specific purposes that are consistent with community preservation, but for which sufficient revenue is not immediately available. The Community Preservation Committee is a nine-member board which includes designees from the Planning Board, Open Space Preservation Committee, Conservation Commission, Historical Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, the Housing Authority and four At- Large members appointed by the Hopkinton Board of Selectmen. The current Community Preservation Committee members are: • Chairman and Member-at-Large Henry Kunicki • Vice Chairman and Open Space Conservation Commission Representative Jeff Doherty • Conservation Commission Representative JimCiriello • Planning Board Representative Ken Weismantel • Historical Commission Representative Shannon Reilly • Parks and Recreation Commission Representative Eric Sonnett • Member-at-Large Alfred Rogers • Member-at-Large Ronald Clark The Housing Authority seat has been vacant since 2011. Accomplishments: In 2015 the following projects were approved at Town Meeting to carry on the Committee’s endless and critical endeavor toward the continuation of preserving our town’s historical history in various forms: Historic Preservation: Preservation of Town Records/Town Clerk’s Office $15,000 ~Historic Preservation The continuation to preserve Town records dating from 1798 to 1999. These records include the Selectmen records, licenses, naturalization records, registers of voters, World War I discharge records and waterline and well records. CPA funding for this project has been approved by voters several times since the initial request in 2006. Purchase of property for Recreation $135,000 ~ Recreation To purchase two pieces of Wycoff property for the purposes of active passive recreation. Trail Signage $7,500 - Open Space Installation of signage to identify trailheads at the Deneen-Austin Powder Conservation Area, Douglas Sands Memorial Trail, Susan D. Gozzaldi Memorial Trail, and the Fruit Street North Section trailhead. 110 Create Restriction Endowment $2,500 - Open Space Creation of the Sylvan Way Conservation Restriction Endowment. McFarland Sanger House $50,000 - Historic Preservation Preservation and repair of the McFarland-Sanger House, one of the oldest structures in town and is representative of several unique architectural features. Fruit Street Athletic Fields $50,000 - Recreation Engineering study for parking and accessing Fruit Street Athletic Fields. Legacy Farms Access $34,000 - Recreation Engineering study for parking and accessing Legacy Farms. Digitization of Records $33,000 - Historic Preservation To scan and digitize the preservation of Town’s Cemetery records. Hopkins School Playground $30,000 - Budgeted Reserve Construct a pavilion at the Hopkins School playground for recreation purposes. Claflin Memorial Fountain $20,000 - Historic Preservation Preserve and renovate the Claflin Memorial Fountain. Looking Ahead The Community Preservation Committee will continue its mission of identifying preservation needs and projects in the Town of Hopkinton and make funding recommendations to the Board of Selectmen. Respectfully submitted, Henry Kunicki, Chairman HOPKINTON CONSERVATION COMMISSION The Conservation Commission is required by law to fulfill a number of duties pursuant to the Massachusetts General Laws, the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (WPA), and the Hopkinton Wetland Protection Bylaw (Bylaw). To fulfill these obligations, the Commission processed submittals and conducted public hearings for 61 Notices of Intent, Resource Area Delineations, Requests for Determination, Certificates of Compliance, Enforcements, and Emergency Certifications during the past year. The Commission also processed 31 Requests for Minor Project Exemptions under the WPA and Bylaw, which improved response time for applicants and freed valuable agenda time for more complex projects. These filings and activities, plus project site inspections, project reviews, public hearings, communications with the Department of Environmental Protection, and informational meetings 111 with residents and developers, occupied the Commission and its staff during the past year. The Commission meets two to three Monday nights per month in order to meet the requirements of the WPA and Bylaw. Commission staff also spent time responding to requests for comments from other Town Boards and working with other Town Departments on various town projects. Members of the Commission also served on the Community Preservation Committee, Lake Maspenock Dam Advisory Group, Lake Maspenock Weed Management Advisory Group, Open Space Preservation Commission, Upper Charles Trail Committee, and the Zoning Advisory Committee. Major projects reviewed, approved and/or underway during 2015 include Hopkinton Mews, 85 West Main Street Commercial Buildings, 1 Lumber Street Commercial Building, Hunter’s Ridge, Hopkinton Retirement Residences at Legacy Farms, Pulte Homes at Legacy Farms South, Legacy Farms North Roadway, 203 Pond Street Subdivision, Christian Estates, Maspenock Woods, Sandy Beach Recreation Area, Peloquin Estates, Hopkinton Square, and Highland Park IV. The Commission monitors these projects, along with other numerous on-going projects of various sizes, on a regular basis, working closely with project engineers, managers, and contractors to ensure that the projects continue to meet environmental regulations and standards agreed to prior to their start. The Commission has also continued to work closely with the Department of Public Works relative to the on-going maintenance of town trees, roads and roadway drainage structures within and adjacent to wetland resource areas. Commission goals include encouraging Low Impact Development initiatives, supporting open space acquisition and stewardship, and continuing efforts to successfully handle all permit applications in a timely manner. The Commission staff has worked diligently to assist the public with understanding wetland regulations and fulfilling permitting requirements, streamlining the permitting process for applicants, promoting environmental stewardship, educating the public, acting as a liaison to other Town boards and committees, and to provide timely information to the Commission on projects under review in order to hold efficient public meetings. The Commission extends its best wishes and thanks to former member Craig Nation on his past 9 years of serving on the Commission. The Commission welcomed Jamie Wronka as a new member and thank her for volunteering her time to support conservation efforts in Hopkinton. The Commission would like to thank the residents of Hopkinton for their water conservation efforts over the past year. The Commission invites the public to attend our meetings, become involved, volunteer, request Commission presentations to aid in local awareness about wetlands, and to provide comments on any of the projects brought before us. Meeting times and agenda items are posted on the Town’s website (www.hopkintonma.gov) and a link can be found on the Commission’s webpage (www.hopkintonma.gov/home/government/boards/conservation) as well as in the Town Clerk’s Notebook at Town Hall. All members of the community are welcome and encouraged to attend our meetings or to call the Commission Office at 508-497-9745 with any questions. 112 Respectfully submitted by the Hopkinton Conservation Commission, Jeffrey Barnes, Chairman Marcus Waldron, Vice-Chairman James Ciriello Edwin Harrow Melissa Recos Kerry Reed Jamie Wronka Don MacAdam, Conservation Administrator Anna Rogers, Inspections Assistant COUNCIL ON AGING/SENIOR CENTER The mission of the Council on Aging/Senior Center is to promote the well-being and enhance the quality of life for adults 60+ years in the Town of Hopkinton. Activities and services are offered that provide educational, social, fitness and cultural programs of general interest, encourage independence and continuing participation in the community. We provide these services in cooperation with the Massachusetts Office of Elder Affairs and BayPath Elder Services, Inc. Our goal is to design, advocate for and implement programs and/or activities to fill the needs identified. The Council on Aging/Senior Center is serving a quickly increasing number of residents parallel to the growth of our town, and also the growing percentage of residents aged 60+. It is both exciting and a challenge to produce services and programs of interest to baby boomers through centenarians. The Senior Center is available to non-seniors and non-residents as long as space in our programs can accommodate the participants. We are very fortunate to have our town budget augmented with support from the Friends of Hopkinton Senior Citizens, Inc. and many grants, gifts and donations. The combination of funding sources allows us to provide the variety of services and programs Hopkinton seniors have become accustomed to and rely on. Information on all our services can be found on our website, HopkintonSeniorCenter.com, or through the Town Government Web page. Our monthly newsletter, The Hilltopper, (currently mailed to 1,600+senior homes) is available on our web page. Volunteers are the backbone of our department. Without them it would be impossible to offer what we do. The volunteers not only provide needed work, they bring a wonderful mix of ages, and high school and college students offer their services during school year and summer breaks. We encourage every one of all ages to stop in and learn about the department. Respectfully submitted, Cynthia A. Chesmore, Director CULTURAL COUNCIL The purpose of the Hopkinton Cultural Council (HCC) is to support public programs in the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences which promote access, education, diversity and excellence for residents of our community. This is accomplished by granting funds received from the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC), in accordance with their guidelines, to individuals and 113 organizations that will present their programs in our community or local area. We fund a variety of programs each year appropriate for diverse age and interest groups. Whenever possible we give priority to Hopkinton artists and organizations. For FY 2015, Hopkinton’s funding from the Massachusetts Cultural Council was increased to $4,600, which is $300 more than the 2014 allotment. We also had a carryover from prior years of $688.88. We received a total of 15 applications, approving 8 for partial or full funding. Members of the HCC for FY 2015 include:, Barbara Timko - Chair, Mary Anne Guild -Treasurer and Secretary, Mary Ansell, Nancy Lagasse, Tom Phelan, David Roberts, John Savignano, Steve Spector, Mary Weinstein, and Laima Whitty. It is the Council’s goal to add new members each year to keep the group’s input fresh, and to allow for broader delegation of the responsibilities.

Its purpose is to provide a detailed review of uses and structures having a substantial impact on the Town, enhance the natural and aesthetic qualities of the Town, preserve the value of land and buildings, and to protect and preserve the historic and cultural aspects and heritage of the Town. The Design Review Board members are appointed annually by the Planning Board. The Design Review Board reviews applications for Major and Minor Project Site Plan Review that are submitted to the Planning Board, and makes recommendations to the Planning Board and the applicant. The Board reviews plans in conjunction with design criteria established in the Zoning Bylaw and intends to work with applicants to design projects that enhance and contribute to the Town. The Board also reviews applications for permanent signs and makes recommendations to the applicant and the Director of Municipal Inspections. In 2015 the Design Review Board reviewed 19 applications for permanent signs and the following applications for Site Plan Review: 114 • 194-196 South Street – New commercial building • Lumber Street – New commercial/retail plaza • 13 Main Street/9 Church Street – Renovations & addition to Hopkinton Public Library • 42 Main Street – Modifications to commercial building • Lumber Street – Proposed Hopkinton Tennis & Swim Club The Board also reviewed and commented on two proposed residential projects: 1) Hayden Woods at 215 Hayden Rowe; and 2) 34-40 Hayden Rowe conversion to residential condos. During 2015, the Board also reviewed its policy and process for sign applications. The Board created a more streamlined application for permanent signs. Respectfully submitted, Jeffrey Doherty, Chairman JeanetteThomson Gail Fallon Sue Ellen Stoddard Claire Wright Alternate Members: Ria McNamara Shawn McGuinness DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS The Department of Public Works (DPW) has the unique honor and opportunity to positively impact residents’ lives on a daily basis by providing many of the necessary services on which their lives depend and by which their quality of life is improved. The DPW provides well maintained roads and sidewalks to ensure safe travel; it provides clean, potable water for safe drinking, cooking, and cleaning; it provides for the removal and proper treatment of sewerage to protect public health; it collects municipal solid waste and disposes it in a responsible manner; it collects recyclable materials and ensures they are properly recycled; and it keeps the parks, and cemeteries mowed and beautifully maintained for all to enjoy. All of these responsibilities are carried out by the DPW Team which is experienced, hardworking, and dedicated to the community. The DPW is comprised of the Administrative Department, the Highway Department, and the Water and Sewer Departments. The DPW is also responsible for Solid Waste and Recycling; maintenance of Cemeteries and Parks; and the Tree Warden. More information about the DPW can be found on our webpage at http://www.hopkintonma.gov/home/government/departments/dpw. Report from the Director This was a year of successes and challenges for the DPW. The DPW was involved in many exciting, important capital projects which included: • Construction of sidewalks on Ash, Wood, and West Main Streets • Continued design of a new DPW facility • Replacement of the undersized culvert on Lakeshore Drive • Continued upgrade of the Wood Street sewer pump station 115 The DPW also managed the construction of Legacy Farms Road North with funds received through a 5.5 million dollar MassWorks Grant. The DPW also had the opportunity to assist with the planning and execution of the events surrounding the Town’s 300th Anniversary celebration. The DPW managed another successful year of its Pavement Management Plan and completed upgrades and improvements to its roads. That included crack sealing, resurfacing existing roads, and fully reconstructing others. The DPW was able to improve the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) for another year – the PCI is a measure of the overall pavement condition throughout town. The following reports from Department Managers highlight many other successes of the DPW. None of these successes would have been possible without the full support of the entire Municipal Team. I thank the Board of Selectmen and the Town Manager, Norman Khumalo, for their leadership and direction. I thank the Administrative Manager, Judi Regan; the Highway Department Manager, Mike Mansir; and the Water/Sewer Department Manager, Eric Carty; for their hard work, support, and dedication. I thank the other dedicated, hard working members of the DPW Team who serve this community every day. I thank the Tree Warden, Paul Gleason; the Recycling Center Coordinator, Paul DiBona; the Town Engineer, Dave Daltorio; and the rest of the staff at the Town Hall for their support of all that the DPW accomplishes. Finally, and most importantly, I thank the residents of Hopkinton for their support and for allowing the DPW to serve this community’s public works needs. Respectfully submitted, John K. Westerling Your Director of Public Works Highway Department The Highway Department has many responsibilities to the town and its citizens. Some of which include pavement management; drainage system maintenance and repair; storm water management; street sweeping; maintaining cemeteries, parks and recreation areas; plowing and sanding roads, sidewalks, schools and town owned buildings; vehicle and equipment maintenance for several town departments; and much more. January 26 brought the blizzard of 2015 dropping 31” of snow on Hopkinton followed by several more storms making it one of the worst winters in history. DPW crews, contractors, and part timers worked tirelessly for many weeks keeping roads, sidewalks and parking lots clear. Crews responded to 16 plowable events and 25 sanding events during the 2014-2015 season. The pavement Management Plan was once again very successful completing almost $1 million dollars in road repairs. Thirteen roads were crack sealed, four roads were rubber chip sealed, three roads were reclaimed, and three roads were milled and overlaid. ADA compliant sidewalk ramps were installed in the required locations on some of these roads. The DPW managed the expenditure of funds in such a way that improve the Pavement Condition Index thereby improving the Town’s overall roadway infrastructure. Approximately 2,600 catch basins throughout the town were cleaned and the material disposed of at a properly licensed facility. This will help ensure that our storm water drainage systems are working properly. Highway Department employees also repaired & rebuilt many catch basins throughout the year. The Highway Department purchased an asphalt hot box that will enable us to make better more permanent repairs of potholes with hot asphalt rather than cold patch. This will help us keep the roads safer and reduce the cost of repairs. 116 Highway Department employees assisted with the 300th Anniversary Celebrations by moving and setting up bleachers on Main Street; setting up picnic tables in the school parking lots; cleaning the downtown area, the parade route, and the common; posting No Parking signs; monitoring trash during the events; and more. I would like to thank Highway Department employees Phil Schiloski, Gerard Berthelette, Jamie Stewart, Chuck Moore, Paul McLaughlin, Russ Lukey, Dave Armstrong, Paul Riano, Joe Arena, John Bernier, Chris Dagg, Pat McDonnell and Ray Shehata for all of their hard work and dedication. I also want to thank Eric Carty and all of the members of the Water & Sewer Department for their help throughout the year and Judi Regan for her administrative support to the Highway Department. The Highway Department’s goal is to be committed to providing the highest level of service possible to the Town and its residents, to continue to provide employee training and education, and to look for ways to become more efficient in all of our day to day operations. Respectfully submitted, Mike Mansir Highway Manager Sewer Department The Sewer Department staff is responsible for monitoring 8 sewer pumping stations along with over 40 miles of sewer pipe. Approximately 40% of the town is serviced by municipal sewer. Daily inspections of the stations are conducted to ensure proper operation. The department is on call 24 hours a day 365 days a year and responds to numerous emergency calls throughout the year. Wastewater flows to the town of Westborough for 2015 totaled 91,000,000 gallons. Flows to the town of Milford totaled 10,000,000. Flows to the Hopkinton plant off Fruit Street were 14,000,000. The Department is currently working on upgrades to the Wood Street sewer pumping station and it also completed a treatment evaluation study. Workers completed many in house repairs and upgrades to save on costs, including repairs to the Carriage Hill sewer pumping station. New controls were installed in many of the stations to improve their operation. Installation of a new alarm and monitoring system was completed which allows for more accurate alarm monitoring and pump system information. Work was done on the town’s diversion structure that diverts wastewater to the Fruit St. plant which improved efficiency. An emergency by-pass was installed at the Wood Street sewer pumping station for backup pumping capability. The Department continues to work on system efficiencies to help improve operations and reduce costs. The employees take required educational classes for their re-certification in the field and to learn about new innovations and equipment in the industry. New utility billing and reading software was installed to improve the billing process. The Sewer division provided personnel to help facilitate events during the 300th Anniversary celebrations. Special recognition should also be made to all the other town departments for their continued help and support to the sewer department throughout the year, in particular the Water and Highway Departments. 117 A special thanks goes out to Peter Wright, who recently retired and Jeff Pyne for their continued service and dedication to the town. Respectfully submitted, Eric J. Carty Water/Sewer Manager Water Department The Water Department staff is responsible for maintaining 8 pumping stations, 3 water tanks, 683 fire hydrants, and 66 miles of water main. Approximately 65% of the town is serviced by municipal water. The department is on call 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Last year we pumped over 366,000,000 gallons of water and read over 6,000 water meters. Monthly water samples were collected throughout town and tested for bacteria to ensure our water meets all water quality standards. We are also mandated by the State and Federal government to test for a wide variety of other contaminants in the water. Testing results showed that all our water meets the State and Federal standards. The annual consumer confidence report was distributed explaining our water sources, the water treatment, and the water test results. We have been providing this information to the citizens for several years before the State began mandating it. The Department dealt with numerous frozen water lines due to the coldest February on record. The record snows also took a toll on resources to keep wells, tanks, and hydrants clear. We partnered with Weston Nurseries to provide rain barrels at a discounted price, we purchased a new leak detector for locating leaks, and we updated our pipe thawing equipment. The new water main was completed on Legacy Farm North providing a much needed redundant supply line to the Ashland water plant. Staff coordinated with engineers to provide input for the much needed new DPW building. All of the water storage tanks were inspected and found to be in good working condition. Plans continue for the replacement of the Grove Street tanks. The Department is also working on the replacement of old water lines throughout town. We saw an unprecedented amount of building projects start this past summer that strained the work force. New utility billing and reading software was installed to improve the billing process. The Water Department provided personnel to help facilitate events during the 300th Anniversary celebrations. We would also like to recognize all of the other town departments that we work with on a daily basis and thank them for their support and help throughout the year, in particular, the Sewer and Highway Departments. The Department is committed to continued employee training and education. We will continue to pursue in-house improvements to the water system, leak detection and repair, updating water meters, and looking at regionalization for future water supplies. A special thank you goes out to Peter Wright for his many years of service to the town. Peter retired this past fall and will be greatly missed! Thank you also to, Mike Fredette, Jed Fennueff, Mat Gogan, Dan Bates, and Maria DiMino for their continued service and dedication to the town. Respectfully submitted, Eric J. Carty Water/Sewer Manager 118 Tree Warden This past year the Town had to contend with multiple insect problems. Winter moth and Gypsy moth were present in abundance. Many trees were partially or totally defoliated. While most of these trees refoliated, it was done at the expense of stored food reserves. That process weakens the trees and makes them susceptible to attacks by secondary pests. Expect heavy populations of the insect pests again next spring. I urge you to consult with a qualified Arborist about how to protect your trees. The Emerald Ash Borer, EAB, was found in Worcester. This is a total of five positive findings of this Ash killing insect in Massachusetts. I urge you to consult with a qualified Arborist about what you can do to protect Ash trees on your properties. I recently attended The Massachusetts Tree Wardens’ Conference. Much was learned as various speakers discussed ongoing insect and disease problems and changes to Chapter 87, the Shade Tree Act, which sets the guidelines for Tree Wardens to follow. I will use this knowledge to the benefit of the town. This past year I cooperated with many other Town Departments such as the Planning Board, Conservation Commission, Cemetery Commission, Parks and Recreation, and the Highway Department. Special thanks to Mike Mansir for his constant willingness to help me out at all times. The Tree Budget was expended in the removal of dead or dying trees and hazardous deadwood throughout the town, per the law, and many of these trees were brought to my attention from citizen call in, tips from the Highway Department, and my own observations. Also, many trees were removed by Eversource that could have taken down overhead utility wires. This assistance saves Hopkinton money and improves electric reliability. Respectfully submitted, Paul Gleason Tree Warden ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE Mission: To facilitate the development of a proposed solution to the operational and educational constraints of Center School that will be supported by the voters of Hopkinton, as well as the MSBA Operating principles: Be transparent. Be open. Be thorough and methodical. Engage the community. Accomplishments over the past year: The Elementary School Building Committee would like to thank the Hopkinton community for their extensive engagement with this project and for overwhelmingly approving the project scope and budget and related debt exclusion in 2015 to fund the full design and construction of a new pre-K through 1st grade school facility at 135 Hayden Rowe Street. This outcome was the result of extensive community engagement and communication over the prior two and half years as the committee worked with the Hopkinton community and Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) to find a solution to constraints at Center School. The committee would also like to thank the numerous boards, committees, departments, staff and volunteers across Hopkinton town and school communities who have worked and continue to work with us on this project.

Design Development is expected to conclude in the first half of 2016, with early bid packages and construction beginning in the second half of 2016. Construction will continue through 2017, with the new school opening in the Fall of 2018. ENGINEERING/FACILITIES DEPARTMENT The mission of the Engineering/Facilities Department is to maintain oversight of all Town capital design and construction projects as well as providing engineering and facilities support to all other Town Departments. The Department has been leading the effort for developing the Town GIS Program along with IT Department, for tracking town building energy use, meeting Green Community requirements, providing engineering assistance as requested by all departments and/or boards/committees, for maintaining town assets and for providing safe and healthy environment for the public and town staff. Responsibilities include participation with all the building committees throughout their project development and as direct staff support for the Permanent Building. We assist all committees and departments in designer selection, bidding, value-engineering, contractor selection, and provide on-site Clerk-of-Works quality assurance services for Town Capital Projects through Department of Public Works, Town Manger’s Office and any other Department Capital Projects. We are responsible for annual maintenance contracts for Town Hall, DPW, Police, Fire, Library and the Senior Center. The Department Director is the Town Engineer/Facilities Coordinator and reports directly to the Town Manager. The Director has bi-weekly meetings with the Town Manager to provide an update of ongoing projects and initiatives. The Town Manager provides beneficial guidance and advice on delivering successful capital projects and running an efficient department. As summary of Capital projects and studies the Department completed during this fiscal year were the Green Community Energy Efficiency Upgrades including the conversion of exterior 121 lighting to LED lights at the schools and Town Hall, Town/School Building ADA Upgrades, replacement of the Town Hall Slate Roof, Town Hall Basement Repair, Town Hall Phase II Building Envelope Repairs, Replacement of the Fire Station Roof on Main Street and Restoration of the Town Common Fountain (in coordination with the Parks and Recreation Department). A summary of Capital Projects the Department is involved in that are currently underway include; Downtown Corridor Project, Town/School Building ADA Upgrades, Wood Street Pump Station Upgrade (Coordinating with DPW), Expansion of the Library, New DPW Facility on Wood Street, Construction of the new Elementary School, (member of the Hopkinton Elementary School Building Committee), Fruit street Concession Building and Indoor Athletic Building (in coordination with the Parks and Recreation Department), Town-Wide Streetlight LED Conversion and continued improvements to the GIS System. Respectfully submitted, David T. Daltorio, P.E. Town Engineering/Facilities Director FINANCE DIRECTOR Article 5 of the Hopkinton Town Charter establishes the Department of Finance, with the charge of coordinating all financial services and activities and provides assistance to all departments in any matter related to finance. Reporting to the Town Manager, the Finance Director is responsible for oversight of the Town’s financial functions, including Accounting, Treasury, Assessing and Finance. The Charter requires that the Finance Director serves as the Town Accountant. Pursuant to Chapter 41, Section 57 of Massachusetts General Laws (MGL), the Town Accountant is responsible for maintaining the Town’s financial records such as appropriations, revenues and expenditures, and debt schedules. This information is made available to the public through several reports, including the audited financial statements and other financial reports. The Town Accountant is also responsible for maintaining custody of all contracts. The office is also responsible for maintaining adequate internal controls for the Town’s finances. Per MGL Chapter 41, Section 56, this includes the examination of all accounts payable invoices and payrolls to ensure that they are accurate and properly approved. When verified, Accounting draws a warrant on the Treasury for payments. Funds are disbursed by the Town Treasurer after being approved by the Town Manager and Town Accountant. The Fiscal 2015 Annual Town Audit has been completed and the Balance Sheet has been approved by the Department of Revenue in advance of the Annual Town Meeting. The Department continues to make large strides in the implementation of MUNIS, the Town’s new financial software package. This has included in-sourcing the Town’s payroll service, updating the chart of accounts, and training users in all departments. Utility Billing has now been implemented making it the latest financial system to now be integrated. Currently we are implementing Project Accounting, Human Resources, and Employee Self-Service. 122 I would like to personally thank the staff in the Finance Department for their commitment and hard work, in particular, Assistant Town Accountant Janet MacKay, Assistant Treasurer Diane Hendrickson, Payroll Manager Chrissie Boyan and Principal Assessor John Neas. In addition, I’d like to give thanks and recognition to the Town’s former Treasurer/Collector Maureen Dwinnell who recently retired after many years of service. Thanks to Town Manager Norman Khumalo and the Board of Selectmen, the Board of Assessors, Appropriations Committee, Capital Improvements Committee, and all other department heads and committees for their support and contributions to thoughtful financial planning for the Town of Hopkinton. Finally I would be remiss if I were not to wish a happy 300th birthday to the Town of Hopkinton. It is an honor to work for a Town with such a long and wonderful history.

It is with great organizational pride that I submit this report to you as Chief of the Hopkinton Fire Department. In the few months that I have served as your Fire Chief I can report with great conviction that we are proud to serve you all. Risk assessment: Fire departments across the country are being challenged by budget constraints, increased call volume, additional responsibility in an all hazards environment and a general expectation to do more with existing resources. Effectively dealing with these challenges requires a basic understanding of resource capability, deployment options and the expectation of the community. If resources arrive too late or lack sufficient capabilities, the emergency will continue to escalate, drawing more of the agencies resources into a losing battle. Failing to manage these challenges can leave firefighters, the fire department and the community as a whole vulnerable to undesirable events. The service expectation of not only firefighting, but advanced level EMS, hazardous materials, natural disasters, technical rescue and terrorism have dramatically impacted us over the last few years. We also recognize that our municipal officials have also faced challenges with budget constraints, growing populations, the need for technology improvement, aging infrastructure, all balanced against the needs of the community service expectation. The goal of our organization is to deliver service that is safe, efficient and effective at a reasonable cost. Personnel: Every great organization delivers quality service through their personnel. This year we said goodbye to our Fire Chief Ken Clark as he retired after 44 years of service to our community. Ken dedicated his life to the fire service and set the bar for commitment to mission and the organization. He truly understood the connection between community engagement and service delivery and for that I take this opportunity to publicly recognize and thank him. Within Chief Clark’s wake I am fortunate to find 22 talented and dedicated firefighters along with my administrative manager who are all proud to serve you. Their actions are driven by our mission; “To preserve life and property from fire, medical and other emergencies; through the rapid response of professionally trained personnel, effective code enforcement and quality community engagement”. A final thanks and farewell goes out to Firefighter James Danahy who is also retiring after 43 years of service. Jim joined the department back in 1972 and worked alongside of Chief Clark for an amazing 87 years of combined service between the two. Thanks again to both of you. New initiatives and accomplishments: Public Safety Dispatch was the largest new initiative in the last 10 years. This collaboration was a success that involved Dispatcher, Police, Fire and Town Hall personnel. The project effected budgets, infrastructure, software, training and policy development. We worked together fostering cooperation, teamwork, problem solving and results. In the end Public Safety Dispatch produced a community wide communications solution that delivers professionalism, consistency, capacity and dependability to all of the stakeholders of Hopkinton. I would like to take this opportunity to thank foremost the dispatchers who committed to a vision and never looked back. The police and fire personnel who showed understanding and patience throughout the process. And finally, to the project team whose commitment to the initiative highlights the power of collaborative solutions. The deliverable on this project is a Public Safety Dispatch organization that we can all be proud of and depend on as a community. 163 Incident Responses: The Hopkinton Fire Department responded to 2016 calls for service in 2015, which was an 18% increase over 2014. Community Engagement, Public Education Program(s), Special Events: The Town’s 300th Anniversary Celebration was the center piece to our special events planning. Again, Chief Clark demonstrated strong leadership in resolving the logistical issues involved with a fireworks display. The results were an incredible display of fireworks and a community celebration like no other. In a final historical note to the 300th weekend, our Public Safety Dispatch Center was activated and ironically dispatch its first emergency response to the anniversary event. Planning for the 2015 BAA Marathon initiated shortly after and continued right up to the morning of the event. Thanks to all the individuals, town departments, mutual aid departments and outside agencies who assisted with making this event safe and an operational success. We were also very actively involved in providing operational and logistical support to multiple high school sporting event(s), road races and swimming events that were held within our community. Firefighter/Paramedic William Krauss organized our volunteers in the delivery of the annual Open House. Open House is the kick off for Fire Prevention Week and has increased in popularity over recent years. Attendance this year exceeded 400 parents and children, all of whom enjoyed Papa Gino’s pizza, educational programs, and the ever popular fire truck rides. I would like to thank the personnel who volunteered their time to make this yearly event successful and we look forward to seeing all the kids again in 2016. Fire Prevention Officer Tom Poirier and staff continued the educational process throughout the week through visits from kindergarten staff and students. The educational program involved interactive safety demonstrations. Feedback on this event from the families whose children attended and from the Center School staff was very positive. Certified Infant Car Seat installer Firefighter/EMT Pat Gross assisted 77 families in our community to insure the safe and proper installation of infant car seats which is up 16% from last year. FF/Paramedic Tim Healy coordinated monthly training for 150 of our citizens and employees of town businesses in CPR, First Aid and the use of Automatic External Defibulators (AED’s), which is up 22 % from last year. This training provides a valuable first response tool for the citizens in our community. Finally, I would like to congratulate the firefighters for their victory in the 2015 Hopkinton Senior Center Bocce Championship. The firefighters were able to advance past two very strong senior center teams and in the end rob the championship from Chief Lee and his somewhat over confident police squad. Residential and Commercial Inspections: In a year of growth we found our fire prevention and inspections effort rising to the challenge. Building Inspector Chuck Kadlik and Assistant Building Inspector Mike Shepard worked very close with Fire Prevention Officer Tom Poirier to make our residential dwellings, schools and commercial buildings safe. Emergency Management and Severe Weather Events: The October 2014 snow storm started our Emergency Management team off with a test that ran throughout the winter. We experienced State of Emergencies, Federal disaster declarations and storm warnings that seemed to repeat themselves weekly. I can’t thank the Emergency Management group enough for the assistance, efforts and understanding that went into this 164 years’ service delivery. This was the year of emergency management and I can confidently report that the Town was well served. We continued to deliver assistance to the School District Safety Committee in the form of planning and training. Lieutenant Bill Miller provided instruction in school specific Incident Command System (ICS) training, National Incident Management System (NIMS) training, and table top simulation. Regional Emergency Planning Committee (REPC): We remained active in our emergency planning through quarterly meetings with our REPC working group. This collaborative planning and emergency response initiative involves communities from Ashland, Framingham, Holliston, Hopkinton, Natick and Sherborn. The main focus is to remain diligent with our local planning and awareness capability all strengthened by a regional approach. Grants: The department was awarded an additional grant from MEMA that allowed for technology upgrades in the Fire Headquarters Training / Emergency Operations Center (EOC). In addition we received a Federal reimbursement though participation in the Ambulance Certified Public Expenditure Program (CPE). This program is overseen by the Executive Office of Health and Human Services and was awarded to the Town through an extraordinary effort by EMS coordinator Lieutenant Gary Daugherty. The Hopkinton Fire Department stands ready to respond to the needs of the community at a moment’s notice, and I am proud to have the opportunity to serve as your Fire Chief and Emergency Management Director. In closing, I would like to thank all of my personnel, the Board of Selectmen, the Town Manager, other Town Departments, Committees and especially the residents of Hopkinton for your constant and continued support. We are proud to serve you. Respectfully submitted, Stephen T. Slaman Fire Chief / Emergency Management Director 165 HOPKINTON FIRE DEPARTMENT CAREER FIREFIGHTERS Stephen T.

The Hopkinton Marathon Committee (HMC) was established in 1979 to act as “Stewards of the Start” for the Boston Marathon. The committee works in collaboration with the Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) to ensure that the annual running of the world’s oldest and most prestigious marathon is a safe and successful event for all involved. The planning, organization, and effort required to accomplish this is a yearlong challenge, which is addressed by a dedicated group of volunteers, representatives of the Highway Department/DPW, Police Department, Fire Department, Schools Building & Grounds Department, Parks & Recreation Commission, Board of Health, and a few long time volunteers from neighboring communities. The committee works with the B.A.A. to guide and coordinate all race logistics within Hopkinton, working diligently with all town officials, departments, residents, and businesses to ensure all race operations are made with the best interest of Hopkinton. After a long snow filled winter the Hopkinton Common and athletic fields at the High School were treated with an application of “green sand” which was used to accelerate the melting of snow as suggested by Race Director Dave McGillivray’s son Ryan who worked for Sports Turf Specialties in coordination with Parks and Recreation Commission. Cloudy gray skies hung over Hopkinton in the early morning hours and later became increasingly windy with steady rain for the start of the 119th Boston Marathon. With temperatures holding in the 40’s, the chilly weather did not deter committee members from doing their jobs. Everyone pitched in and worked together for the ultimate goal of achieving another successful start. Hopkinton welcomed over 30,000 runners, over 900 plus volunteers, and thousands of spectators on Patriots’ Day, April 20, 2015. With the race field size returning to 30,000 runners, and the new footprint and enhanced public safety plan developed in 2014 with Local, State, and Federal public safety officials everyone was in great shape this year. Department representatives from the Hopkinton Fire Department, 169 Hopkinton Police Department, Highway Department/DPW, School Building & Grounds Department, Board of Health, and Parks & Recreation Commission staff once again did an outstanding job as well as the at-Large committee members who also serve as B.A.A. Start Team Captains who coordinated various official volunteer teams including, Elite Runner Start Marshals, VIP Runner Program, Start Area Marshals, Information Kiosks/Town Common & Athletes’ Village, Parking & Bus Shuttle Program, Wheelchair Push-rim Athlete Marshals, Donated Clothing Program, Race Announcer & Start Line Painting, and VIP Start Grandstand Seating. In 2006, the B.A.A. introduced a wave start for the Boston Marathon; they gave the Hopkinton Marathon Committee the honor of selecting the starters for the later waves. In recognition of their long time service to the town of Hopkinton, the committee unanimously selected Dale Danahy, Dr. John Duffy, and the late “Cookie” Kumlin. Dr. Duffy, Official Starter for Wave Two moved to Hopkinton in 1959 raising 12 children here, had his dental office in Framingham until recently. He currently serves as Chairman of the Board of Assessors, served on the Planning Board and Board of Selectmen and is an Army veteran. He is admired for his many years of service working with Hopkinton finances and his kind nature. Richard “Cookie” Kumlin, who passed away in 2004 worked for the highway department for over 40 years, is often remembered at HMC meetings for his gold standard when it comes to getting the town ready for the marathon. Long before the committee was established Cookie was the go to guy who the town and the B.A.A. relied on and is a true legend. Cookie’s son, David Kumlin did a nice job representing his father as the Official Wave Three Starter. Dale Danahy, longtime supporter of the Boston Marathon fired the Starters’ pistol for Wave Four. The President and Co-owner of Colella’s Supermarket was recognized for her many years of service and countless contributions to the committee and the marathon. She also ran the Boston Marathon four times in support of the Michael Lisnow Respite Center. The market was a key location for staging and Colella’s made over 900 volunteer lunches for several years. The market has been sold and we’ll miss the great partnership but we look forward to many years working with Dale as she continues to volunteer with her son Alex with the Wheelchair division athletes’. Alex Danahy was selected by the Boston Athletic Association to be the Official Starter for the Handcycle Division. In honor of Patriots’ Day, the Hopkinton Marathon Committee along with the Boston Athletic Association has had the privilege of honoring local veterans for their service at the start of the Boston Marathon. Bill Mackin who served in the Navy during the Korean War with the 7th Fleet Destroyer Division based in Newport, Rhode Island and Pat Greeno who served in the Army in Germany were saluted and recognized on the starters’ platform this year. Thank you to the hard working and dedicated committee members; Joseph Bennett, Jean Cann, Ken Clark, Alex Danahy, Jane Goodman, Craig Gormley, MaryJo LaFreniere, Jack Leduc, Ed Lee, Bob Levenson, Mike Mansir, Bob McGuire, Adam Munroe, Judy Pitasi, Steve Slaman, Al Rogers, and Chuck Wallace. We thank the Boston Athletic Association officials, Executive Director Tom Grilk, Race Director Dave McGillivray, and Start Coordinator Andy Deschenes for orchestrating another great race! 170 Our Public Safety officials are dedicated professionals who continue to ensure the safety of the residents, businesses, and visitors in Hopkinton and we are grateful for their service. The Highway Department/DPW had many challenges due to the weather but again being the professionals they are had the town looking great in record time. Your efforts are truly appreciated! We thank the Board of Selectmen, Town Managers Office, all town departments, residents, businesses, and volunteers for all your cooperation and support! Respectfully submitted, Dorothy Ferriter-Wallace, Chair Hopkinton Marathon Committee MARATHON FUND COMMITTEE The first meeting of the Hopkinton Marathon Fund Committee took place on September 24, 1986. The Committee met to propose various ideas for allocating a $15,000 gift to the Town from the Boston Athletic Association (BAA). Discussion included ways to promote and support variety of youth athletics and recreational programs. Most of the money went into the Town of Hopkinton general fund until 1987 when the Board of Selectmen directed the Marathon Fund Committee to disburse the funds left over from any Marathon related expenses as outlined and approved by the Hopkinton Marathon Committee. Since that time, many Hopkinton groups have benefited from the BAA gift including: Babe Ruth Baseball, Hopkinton Jr. High Soccer, Baseball, Football and Hockey teams, Cross Country Ski Team, Graduating Student Athletes, Hopkinton Lacrosse, the Hopkinton Senior Center, Little League Baseball, and Parks and Recreation requests. In 2015, the entire community benefitted as the Committee was able to provide some funding in support of Hopkinton’s 300th Anniversary Celebration. The Hopkinton Marathon Committee is responsible for coordinating all aspects of the start of the Boston Marathon. It has always had the charge of forecasting all race related expenses in advance and approving those expenses which are then processed and approved by the Board of Selectmen. The Hopkinton Marathon Committee works very closely with the BAA, and ensures that all aspects of the start of the Boston Marathon are coordinated through the Committee as directed. After all of Marathon related expenses have been approved, processed, and paid there are funds which remain in BAA Gift Account. This leftover amount is what the Hopkinton Marathon Fund Committee distributes. The fund is for use in the areas of recreation and athletics and the Committee encourages organizations, groups, and teams to make requests for use of the fund for those purposes; and in making recommendations of use of the fund, we attempt to support as many of those organizations, groups, and teams as possible. Procedurally, the Hopkinton Marathon Fund Committee has operated under the following criteria: • First come, first serve. • Purchases may be for materials, equipment or service. • Three bids should be submitted for consideration of a request. 171 Preference is given toward non-recurring items so the Marathon Fund does not become a permanent source for recurring programs, however historical exceptions have included (6) college scholarships for student athletes, and programs for Hopkinton Senior Center. The annual scholarships for graduating high school seniors have been especially gratifying, and have served to be an important measure and demonstration of community support. After paying BAA Marathon expenses, $24,276.74 remained in the Hopkinton Marathon Fund FY 2015 for use. These funds have been allocated to: • Six student-athlete scholarships for Hopkinton graduates • Games and Equipment rental for the post prom party • The Council on Aging and Hopkinton Senior Center exercise programs • The Hopkinton Police Association Fishing Derby • HHS Hockey Team • Entertainment and Equipment in support of Hopkinton’s 300th Anniversary Celebration We thank the Town of Hopkinton for its on-going support, and look forward to serving the community in fiscal year 2016. Respectfully submitted, Carole Nathan, Chairperson Colleen Charleston, Secretary John Coutinho, BOS Liaison Mary Jo LaFreniere, Marathon Committee Representative Ellen Scordino, Hopkinton School Committee Representative Dan Terry, Hopkinton Parks & Rec. Representative METROWEST VETERANS SERVICES DEPARTMENT Veterans’ Services Departments are mandated by State law to be maintained in all communities of the Commonwealth for the sole purpose of assisting Veterans and their dependents in receiving Federal, State, and local benefits made available by the US Government and by the Commonwealth. In 2014 additional Legislation was passed that required Veterans Agents in these Departments be Certified by the Massachusetts Department of Veterans Services (DVS). The Towns of Medway, Hopkinton, Holliston and Ashland are members of the MetroWest Veterans’ Services District, which is overseen by a Board of Directors. Each Communities Board of Selectman appoints a representative to this board. A chairman is selected by the members of the board. The district operates 5 days a week primarily from a central office located in Holliston. For ease of access, satellite offices are maintained in each community. We have provided home visits to those veterans or their widows who have limited mobility. In addition, as a community service, we continue to provide assistance to family members who may reside in the district, but the veteran or widow resides out of the district, and in some cases out of the state. Our mission is to advocate on behalf of the Veteran and their eligible dependents in providing information and assistance in obtaining earned benefits and entitlements from Federal, State and local agencies. 172 As the Burial Agent for each community, we insure for the proper interment of veterans and work closely with each community’s Graves Officer to insure compliance with applicable general laws, regulations and policies. Our Top Priorities: • Provide top quality support services • Work closely with each municipality on issues that pertain to veteran's • Provide direct financial assistance to those veterans and their dependents that are in need On-going goals: • Consolidation of veterans records to one location • Maximize the use of electronic media where practical and feasible • Conduct or participate in local outreach events In March of this year we hired a new Veterans Agent and with the Boards approval, increased the hours from 7 to 15 hours a week, which allowed for Case Management. Sarah Bateman, our new Veterans Agent is the primary point of contact for Ashland and Hopkinton. In August, the Town of Holliston acquired an office building to house two of their departments. The district was offered much needed office space to consolidate its operations to one location. In September the main offices moved to 1750 Washington Street in Holliston. This new location is centrally located on a major route that is accessible from all the communities. It provides ample parking, handicap access and direct access the District’s Staff. The offices allows for privacy and confidentiality when discussions turn to sensitive issues. The district still provides office hours in each community and has retained its satellite office in Ashland. In October 2015 both the Director and Agent received their Certification (as required by law) by DVS after having successfully completed (with high marks) the Veterans Benefits and Services Officer Certification Examination Course. This year the district processed 20 requests for financial assistance under Chapter 115 M.G.L., totaling $230,715.00 in benefits paid to eligible veterans and families. We have provided assistance in filing 31 VA Claims ranging from: service connected disabilities; pensions and Dependents Indemnity Compensation of which 23 (known) were completed by the VA. For 2015 an estimated $1,053,000.00 in VA compensation benefits had been received by veterans and widows residing in the district. In addition, we assisted numerous family members in obtaining burial benefits and grave markers for the deceased veteran. On two occasions, the grave marker received was inaccurate. We immediately contacted the VA’s National Cemetery Administration and by working closely with the family and the VA were able to obtain a new corrected marker in two weeks. These are just a few of the many other veterans’ issues that we provide assistance with on a routine basis. Respectfully submitted JOHN T. GIVNER, Director, Veteran Services MetroWest Veterans Services District 173 OPEN SPACE PRESERVATION COMMISSION The Open Space Preservation Commission was established in 1980. Its charge is to identify parcels of land available for acquisition that would enrich the quality of life in Hopkinton by providing land for passive recreation such as hiking, horseback riding, cycling and other non motorized activities; as well as protection, preservation and restoration of our woodland, wetlands, water resources and scenic views. These parcels may also offer links to other recreation and open space lands as well as wildlife corridors. The Commission works with property owners or their agents to determine the best means of acquisition (i.e.; purchase, donation or placement of conservation restrictions on development). The Open Space Preservation Commission consists of five members including representatives from the Planning Board, Conservation Commission, and the Board of Selectmen, with two at-large members. In 2015 the Open Space Preservation Commission evaluated a few pieces of land. Evaluating the properties against the needed criteria, none were deemed to meet the criteria and were not proposed for acquisition. The Commission voted unanimously to support the purchase of the Pratt Farm at May’s Annual Town Meeting. The Commission created a memorial plaque at 192 Hayden Rowe Street in honor of the Hughes family. The Commission also began discussions with the Upper Charles Trail Committee and the Parks and Recreation Department regarding the potential uses of 192 Hayden Rowe Street. During 2015, the Commission signed conservation restrictions for Cameron Woods and Whisperwood Preserve. Respectfullly submitted, John Ferrari, Chairman, Planning Board Representative Jeff Doherty Nancy Peters Edwin Harrow, Conservation Commission Representative John Mosher, Board of Selectmen Representative PARKS AND RECREATION The Parks and Recreation Department is very excited about the upcoming year. We are eagerly anticipating some exciting new changes as well as continuing to maintain the high quality of programs and facilities for the town. Our mission is to be the community leader in providing and promoting healthy recreation experiences and park facilities that enhances the lifestyle of our diverse community. Our vision is to continually enhance the quality of life for our growing community by providing sustainable parks and recreation programs. The department is the custodian for the Town Common, Sandy Beach, EMC Park and ball fields, Carrigan Park, Emerald Hills Field, Daniel Shays Field, Reed Park and of course the Fruit Street Athletic Complex. The Parks and Recreation Department completed several key initiatives this past year. We opened the newly renovated and expanded Sandy Beach and boat ramp. The refurbished Claflin Memorial Fountain was unveiled during the 300th Celebration to much fanfare on the Town Common. The department is now fully staffed and as a result we will 174 soon be offering a mobile application that will allow our customers to access our registration system from their phones as well as receive updates and notifications. The Parks and Recreation Department strives to provide programs that serve all community members. We continued to grow our youth sports programs. We now offer Lacrosse clinics to girls in grades 2 through 5. This past fall we partnered up with National Football league and joined the NFL Flag Football Association. We offered this program to boys and girls in grades 3 through 5, and in a very surprising development, a Ladies Flag Football League as well. We had over 100 participants in our first year. Overall, the Parks and Recreation Department has seen over 1,600 participants for the 2nd straight year. We are now in the planning stages of our most exciting and ambitious projects since our successful Sandy Beach renovations. The community has entrusted us with building a concession stand, indoor bathrooms and an indoor athletic facility at the Fruit Street Complex. When completed, this building will provide shelter from storms, a place to grab a snack and an indoor bathroom. It will also provide a heated indoor practice facility for all of our youth sports groups to work on their skills. The department will work to continuously improve all of the fields and parks to create family friendly places for everyone to enjoy. Respectfully submitted, Jay Guelfi and Parks & Recreation Commission PERMANENT BUILDING COMMITTEE The Permanent Building Committee (“PBC”) was established in 2010 to act as the single committee to review and recommend actions on non-school Town buildings and those projects on land leased from the Town or using Town funds. These recommendations consist of analysis of Town needs, conditions of Town buildings, identify need for projects and supervision of projects exceeding $100,000 in cost. Since its inception the PBC has reviewed and made recommendations on the, expansion of the Library, expansion of the DPW Facility, envelope repairs and improvements to Town Hall, design and construction for replacement of Fire Station Roof, design and construction of a Senior Center Parking Lot, study for a new Indoor Athletic Complex at Fruit Street and smaller repairs to other Town buildings. Town Manager has assigned the Town Engineer as staff support for the PBC and as project manager for projects overseen by the PBC. In FY2015 the PBC is overseeing the development of the following projects; Library Expansion, expansion of the DPW and Indoor Athletic Facility at Fruit Street. The PBC oversaw the completion of the following projects; Phase II Town Hall Envelope Repairs, Town Hall Roof Replacement, Town Hall Basement Repairs and replacement of the Fire Station Roof. The Library Expansion Project moved into the Final Design Stage as the Town received a Grant from the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) and Town Meeting approved additional funding for final design and construction. Several Town Hall projects were completed during FY2015. The projects included remediation in the basement, waterproofing and installing a sub drain system in the basement, historic 175 replacement of slate roof and historic repair/repointing of three sides of the building. All projects were completed on or under budget. Final Design and Construction of the DPW Expansion Project was funded at Town Meeting. The PBC is responsible for overseeing the selection of the consultant and development of the final design and construction. The roof for the Fire Station on Main Street was replaced to eliminate leaks throughout the building with the PBC overseeing construction. The project was completed under budget. PLANNING BOARD The responsibilities of the Planning Board are established by state law and by town bylaws.

Respectfully submitted, Kenneth Weismantel, Chairman Brian Karp, Vice Chairman Francis DeYoung Francis D’Urso John Ferrari Patrick Mahon Frank Sivo Matthew Wade Claire Wright 177 POLICE DEPARTMENT 2015 was a successful year for the Hopkinton Police Department in the area of growth, community engagement, collaborations with our partners and crime prevention. It was a special year because the Hopkinton Police Department played an integral role in the planning and preparation for the 300th Anniversary Celebration. Our role, as with the Boston Marathon, was to supply security, traffic and crowd control for the two major events, that being the parade and fireworks. I was pleased to see that we had a great working relationship with the 300th Committee led by Jean Bertschmann, and as always we had a great collaborative effort with our town partners on the Fire and DPW, and I am pleased to say that all the events went off without a hitch. It was a special occasion and we were proud to be a part of it. One of our major accomplishments was the completion of the Consolidated Public Safety Dispatch. Much effort has been put into this project and it was a great collaborative effort between Police, Fire, Town Manager, IT, Finance and Public Safety Dispatchers. An intense hiring process, we doubled the number of our full time personnel and hired additional part time employees. We are proud to welcome aboard our four new full-time communication specialists: Nicole Coris, Cindy Valovcin, Tim Desmeule, and Braedyn Luiz. Also, our new part-time communication specialists: Amanda Joaquin and Jenson Plotkin. Additional to staff, technology played a huge part of the project, and we able to enhance our existing communication center with the latest technology to handle both police and fire. Training was key now that existing employees needed to learn the fire-side, and new employees needed to learn both aspects of both departments. However, everything came together and we were able to fire up our new Public Safety Dispatch fittingly during the 300th Anniversary Celebration. I am proud to say that we have an outstanding final product, which has been a great success. Because of great planning with top professionals, the residents of the Town of Hopkinton are safer because of it. The Department lost an amazing resource with the retirement of one of the town’s most beloved officers, Patrick O’Brien. Pat gave 32 years of excellent service to the town. He knew everyone and everyone knew him. He was the epitome of a community police officer. Pat has been solving problems and collaborating with the community for years. He was a mentor to many an officer, and his absence cannot be replaced. In an attempt to replace a great officer and prepare for future retirements, we hired Officer Peter Hontzeas in March of 2015. Officer Hontzeas completed the Reading Police Academy, as well as the Field Training Program and has been an excellent addition to our organization. In June 2015, we conducted a successful recruitment drive and conducted a written exam for new police recruits. We had an impressive pool of applicants, with 129 candidates applying for the positions. We narrowed this list down to the top candidates, and we are scheduled to hire three officers in early 2016 to fill open vacancies Early in 2015 we had the opportunity to work with the Collins Center to create a work analysis for my Command Staff. What was discovered was that the workload for supervisors and the growth of the town and the department, showed a need to add administrative staff. This led to a strategic initiative with support from the Board of Selectmen and the Town to hire a new Lieutenant. I now have two lieutenants under my command: one handling the administrative functions, while the other handles the operational side. This has also freed up sergeants to some extent to concentrate on their main responsibility of supervising. With the upcoming retirement of Lieutenant Chuck Wallace early in 2016, we began the process of hiring two new lieutenants. After an extensive process with four excellent candidates to choose from, Sergeants Joseph Bennett, and John Porter rose to the top. Both were promoted to the rank of 178 Lieutenant in early December. Both Lieutenants have had outstanding careers receiving many awards and honors, and have proven in the short period of time that they have earned their ranks. We continue to strive to be up to date on all aspects of training. Over the past year officers attended over 1,000 hours of in-service training, which included legal updates, domestic violence, juvenile laws, and CPR. Prior to the 2015 Boston Marathon, a number of officers attended training in terrorism, suicide bombings and vehicle IED's. Officer were also trained in body observation and suspicious activity recognition (BOSAR) leading up to the Boston Marathon. Below is a list of some of the notable trainings: • Officer Aaron O'Neil Firearms Instructor • Active Killer Training put on by CEMLEC SWAT • Specialized training for Marathon (Field Force, BOSAR, Protestor removal) • Professional Development and Leadership training with Bob Levenson • Lt. Joe Bennett, Lt. John Porter, and Sgt. Van Raalten receive Trilogy award FBI-LEEDA • Lt. Joe Bennett, Lt. John Porter, and Sgt. Van Raalten RWU Mid-Management Course • Sgt. Tim Brennan RWU First Line Supervisor One example of the need of valuable training was the SWATTING incident that the town experienced in early April of 2015. A suspect had made a call to our Department claiming to have hostages and a bomb at the library. While the incident turned out to be a hoax, I could not have been prouder of the men and women of the Department who had an incredible response that is only achieved with quality training. While aiming to better ourselves with continuous training, we are also aiming for consistent excellence. One way of achieving that is through the process of accreditation. The process prompts us to strive, meet, and to maintain the standards that have been created by law enforcement professionals throughout the country. We have completed the first phase process referred to as self-evaluation, and have moved onto the process of developing and implementing new policies. I would like to thank those that have been involved in the process and have displayed excellent teamwork: Lt. Chuck Wallace, Lt. John Porter, Sgt. Scott Van Raalten, Sgt. Tim Brennan, and Detective Dave Shane. Crime prevention has been one of our top priorities and we have implemented several community based prevention programs in collaboration with community partners, and community stakeholders. We have been extremely successful in this area, and have formed great partnerships throughout the community, as well as outside the community. Our two Detectives David Shane and Gregg DeBoer, along with our two crime prevention Officers Stephen Buckley and Arthur Schofield have done a great job in this area of prevention, education and enforcement. Although these four officers deserve special recognition, it is the entire department with the same mindset of preventing crime and educating the public. This has certainly paid off, and according to a recent Safewise Report, Hopkinton is number four among the safest cities in towns in Massachusetts. This is up from a previous year ranking of sixteen with a violent crime rate of 0.6 per 1000 people and property crime rate of 2.65 per 1000 people. 179 Below are a few examples of accomplishments in the area of prevention. • Opiates, successful implementation of Narcan Policy (Officer Griffin) and became one of the first in Middlesex county to equip all officers with Narcan. • Hosted first National Night Out in town with emphasis on bringing the community together to have fun and educate on crime prevention. • Hosted Senior Scams meeting at the senior center with Sheriff Peter Koutoujian, to educate the elderly on the ongoing problem of seniors being take advantage of. • Formed partnerships with Ashland, Holliston, Sherborn and obtained grant for Jail Diversion Program, and training officers as mental health responders, as well as having an advocate to respond to calls. • Formed partnership with Autism Parent Connection, and obtained free training for officers for responding and handling calls involving autism. • Hosted Autism and Special Needs Day at the station to bolster the identification program (Child at Risk), as well as helping these children be comfortable with police and fire. • Alzheimer’s alert program. Exchange Zone Online purchases and swaps are a popular way to shop and exchange goods. In recognition of some safety concerns Chief Lee has established a Safe Exchange Zone in the front parking lot to meet and exchange these items. The police station property is covered by 24 hour surveillance and the station is staffed 24 hours a day as well. 180 We have had the pleasure of our Department becoming a partner of the newly founded Hopkinton Substance Abuse Coalition. The Coalition is a result of the hard work of Denise Hildreth, the Town's Youth Coordinator. We look forward to being an integral part and doing many great things together. Already we have begun implementing programs while working with the coalition. Together we recently produced a public service announcement on the Good Samaritan Law, which featured Officer John Corridan as narrator, and is now available for viewing on YouTube; A new Syringe Disposal Kiosk has been installed in the Hopkinton Police Department Lobby and is now ready for use by all community members seeking to dispose of needles and syringes. We look forward to continuing working with the Coalition on some exciting future projects. We continue to enjoy working with the schools, specifically the School Safety Team. We continue to collaborate on programs, safety protocols and procedures, as well as traffic safety for our schools. Our work with the School Safety Committee has been extremely successful in identifying problems, and coming out with effective solutions. Below are some of our accomplishments. • Implemented the ALICE program in schools for preparedness of an active shooter. • Incident Command Training for school administration and staff. • Worked with the schools for a more effective panic alarm system and protocols. • Enhanced communications between schools and police with portable radios for direct contact with the police department. • Obtained funding for a new Fob System in all the schools to prevent intruders and enhance situational awareness. • Follow the Bus Program where officers drive behind buses to enhance safety and prevent vehicles from passing. • Enhanced traffic enforcement in school zones, purchase radar trailer to curb speeding. • Study on drop off routes and traffic crossings, and continue to implement best methods. Of course I would be remiss if I did not mention the continued outstanding work performed by School Resource Officer Phil Powers. Phil has built strong relationships with faculty and students, and is an excellent liaison between us and the school department. The 2015 Boston Marathon was a huge success. We have utilized the same security plan as 2014, but we did it in a more efficient manner. The months of planning and preparation resulted with the same level of security with a more family friendly feel than the prior year. Of course when the last runner crosses the finish line, planning begins right away for the upcoming year by focusing on our performance and how we can improve. We are grateful for partners, state, local, and federal to help us complete our mission. I am especially grateful to Hopkinton Auxiliary Chief Don Creswell and his Auxiliary Staff who represent at the marathon, as do hundreds of auxiliaries from throughout the state. In closing, I could not be prouder to continue to have the honor to lead the best police department in the state. I look forward to 2016, which should be an exciting year with many changes and new programs. The Hopkinton Police Department will look for new opportunities 181 to better our organization and continue to reduce crime, and make Hopkinton a safe place to live. Respectfully submitted, Edward J. Lee Jr. PRATT FARM MASTER PLAN TEAM The Pratt Farm Master Plan Team was established by a vote of the Board of Selectmen in September, 2015. Its purpose is to develop a unified physical blueprint for the Pratt parcel defining the most feasible and specific uses to be located on the portion of the Pratt Farm owned by and under the control of the Town. The Team will devise a plan for how the Town will move expeditiously to implement identified uses. The Team will develop and steward a planning process that fosters openness and inclusion through dialogue and communication with stakeholders. The Pratt Farm Master Plan Team members are appointed for the term of the project by the Board of Selectmen. The Pratt Farm Master Plan Team held its first meeting in December 2015 to organize and set a meeting schedule. Respectfully submitted, Brian Herr, Chairman George Bradbury, Vice Chairman Jim Murphy, Clerk Barry Rosenbloom Eric Carty SCHOOL COMMITTEE School Committee: The mission of the Hopkinton Public Schools is to equip all students with the skills and knowledge to become productive citizens and lifelong learners by providing appropriate learning opportunities in a physical, social, and emotional environment that fosters fulfillment of each student’s potential. The School Committee is responsible for developing policies that support the mission of the school district and for adopting a budget that provides adequate funding for the schools. The Committee oversees and directs the management of the annual funds made available to the school system in the most strategic and cost-effective way possible. By working collaboratively with the school administration, town committees, town departments and community support groups, the School Committee dutifully and successfully carries out its responsibilities. Over the course of the last 12 months, much has been accomplished. Strategic Plan Annual Update: Members of the School Committee in collaboration with the administration reviewed and updated the Strategic Plan. The strategic priorities will continue to guide the district over the next five years. Budget requests and school improvement plans will flow through this and, as 182 evidenced in this year’s budget process, every initiative will be able to point directly to an item from the strategic plan. Thus the document is expected to evolve as the needs of the district change. Building and Facilities Goal: The School Committee continues to work closely with the Elementary School Building Committee to advance the completion of the new PK-1 Elementary School. At Special Town Meeting and the ballot in November, the community overwhelmingly voted in favor of funding a new PK-1 Elementary School. The architectural firm, DRA Associates led us through the site selection of the Irvine property and the design process. Budget Goal: Last year, the Committee collaborated with the school administration and town leaders to develop and present a goals-driven, responsible budget for FY16 to the community, which passed at the May 2015 Annual Town Meeting. For the 2016 Town Meeting FY17 budget presentation, sustaining voter support for an FY17 goals-driven, fiscally responsible, transparently prepared budget is the Committee's goal. The FY17 budget recommendation strives to meet the educational needs of all students and focuses on key initiatives from the strategic plan. Respectfully submitted, Ellen Scordino, Chair Lori Nickerson, Vice-Chair Jean Bertschmann, Member Kelly Knight, Member Jonathan Graziano, Member SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS As you will see in reading the annual reports from the various schools, the Hopkinton Public Schools are extremely grateful for the support we receive from the community. We could not be as successful as we are in meeting the varying talents and needs of our students without it. The school district worked collaboratively with other Town departments, elected officials, and town boards to gain approval of a $39,143,441 budget at the May 2015 Annual Town Meeting. In planning their budget, the School District seeks to collaborate with town leaders to prepare a budget that is aligned with the School Committee’s strategic plan, the effective management of the district and the ability to support key initiatives. We accomplished this goal by conducting a multi-step, rigorous, review of the proposed budget within each department, articulating the budget priorities in a transparent, data-driven manner tied to strategic initiatives and by promoting a PK-12 vision of instructional improvement that impacts learning. The FY16 budget accomplishes the following goals: o Maintains optimal class size to promote differentiated instruction o Increase STEM opportunities o Develop and implement targeted Professional Development and Technology Plans o Use student assessment results to establish high expectations for all students 183 o Articulate common, well-defined learning outcomes with a focus on depth of understanding and critical thinking o Meet the needs of High Needs Learners o Address key maintenance projects o Reduce Fees Included in this budget was the addition of a teacher for the high school writing center, the addition of a third grade teacher to reduce increasing class size, additional Learning Specialist to support the Co-Teaching Model introduced last year and the addition of a teacher for second language learners (ELL) to service the increasing needs of the district. Building Administration worked with committees of teachers at each of their schools to develop schedules that maximized opportunities for teachers to work together in Professional Learning Communities and to create additional time blocks for small group targeted instruction. In addition to the general budget, Town Meeting also supported the following capital articles related to the school district: 1. Security Upgrades to include dual entry systems at each of the buildings 2. Joint Technology Upgrades to align the town and school department 3. Fire Alarm System Upgrades at HMS 4. Resurfacing the Basketball and Tennis Courts Included in the Superintendent’s goals as articulated in her annual plan were the following: Goal 1: Communication: Demonstrates strong interpersonal, written and verbal communication skills. Goal 2: Ensures that all principals and administrators facilitate practices that propel personnel to use a variety of formal and informal methods and assessments to measure student learning, growth, and understanding and make necessary adjustments to their practice when students are not learning. Goal 3: Develops a budget that supports the district’s vision, mission, and goals; allocates and manages expenditures consistent with district and school-level goals and available resources. Goal 4: Center School Building Project Standard II: Management and Operations. Promotes the learning and growth of all students and the success of all staff by ensuring a safe, efficient, and effective learning environment, using resources to implement appropriate curriculum, staffing, and scheduling. Standard III: Family and Community Engagement. Promotes the learning and growth of all students and the success of all staff through effective partnerships with families, community organizations, and other stakeholders that support the mission of the school and district. A highlight of 2015 was that the community voted to approve the proposal for a new elementary school to be built on the newly acquired Irvine Site. Members of the district’s administrative team and representatives of the School Committee have worked closely with the Elementary School Building Committee, Compass Management and Drummey Rosane Anderson, Inc. throughout the year to meet the guidelines of the Massachusetts School Building Authority in designing the building to meet the educational plan for our youngest learners as articulated by the Hopkinton Public Schools. 184 I am delighted to be serving the school community and look forward to my work with the School Committee and Administrative Council as we work together to meet a wide range of student needs in an ever-changing educational system. Respectfully submitted, Cathy MacLeod, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools HOPKINTON HIGH SCHOOL Academics As a school, we have a lot to celebrate. For example, or MCAS scores were recently published and 99% of last year’s 10th grade students scored in the Advanced/Proficient for ELA, 97% for Math, and 97%for Science, our best percentages in over ten years. Our advanced placement scores were also very strong. For example, 451 students took a total of 843 AP exams in May 2015 in 21 different subject areas and 82% of our students received a passing score of three, four or five. In regards to providing our students with the proper supports, in the most recent Metrowest Adolescent Health Survey a vast majority of our students reported feeling safe and comfortable at Hopkinton High School. Our guidance department includes 6 school counselors, 2 adjustment counselors and a school psychologist to offer the supports our students need both inside and outside of the classroom. We also have a tutoring center within the building to help students who are struggling or have just returned from an extended absence. We are continuing to find ways to reduce the overall stress level our students are experiencing. For example, we send a weekly student memo with upcoming events and announcements. We instituted a few homework free weekends and vacations throughout the year and we continue to have ‘de-stress’ weeks each semester with fun activities during lunch. Educating students on healthy ways to manage their stress levels is a major area of focus for the high school. This year the high school welcomed six very talented new teachers to our staff including the 2014 STEM teacher of the year who will be leading a newly developed Technology & Engineering Department both at the high school and middle school. We established a new Writing Center at the high school to assist all students with their writing skills at all levels. We are also pleased to report we received a 3-year grant to fund a program for students returning from extended absences, such as hospitalizations, illness or severe concussions, which we are calling the START program. And lastly, we are excited about our first class of Top of the Hill recipients this past November, which is a new program that recognizes past Hopkinton High graduates who are excelling in their chosen careers. In an effort to support our students on the path to become college and career ready, we are in our 2nd year of our community service/internship requirement to complete during a student’s junior year in order to graduate from Hopkinton High School. The goal of the “Junior Experience” program is to engage students in a different kind of learning experience outside of the classroom during their junior year as a way to help them get real-life experience, maybe explore a career of interest and to be ready for the transition to college or to work. The program hopes to foster independence, self-confidence, and a personal sense of responsibility for 185 students as they take charge of their learning. Through 5 hours of either community service, job shadowing and/or internships with agencies in the area (with both for- and non-profit organizations), the Junior Experience will give students the opportunity to obtain real-life experience in the working world and help to strengthen the ties between Hopkinton High School and the surrounding community. We are also very excited about some new course offerings at HHS including 3D Art, Team Robotics, and Sustainable Engineering, which aligns with our school mission to be on the forefront of global initiatives. For example, we had 57 high school students attend trips abroad to Argentina, Greece and Switzerland this year. In addition, we are hosting 15 international students this year through our F-1 visa program. The students are from Vietnam, Spain, Brazil, Germany, Italy, China and Denmark are each being hosted by a Hopkinton family while attending school full time at HHS. This is a rich cultural experience both for the visiting students as well as students at our school. Our school and district continues to be on the forefront of educational practice; including our curriculum design and our teaching methodologies. For example, we have created a Makerspace in our library with the help of the HEF, which is an innovative approach to collaboration and inspiring lifelong learners. We have also created an innovative learning classroom, which contains flexible furnishings where students and teachers can more effectively learn, create and achieve. In addition, as the high school is a completely 1:1 environment grades 9 - 12, we continued to increase our offerings of online and blended courses for students through VHS and TEC. Overall 94% of the class of 2015 went on to further education, with 91% enrolling in a four-year college and 3% in two-year colleges. The colleges they matriculated at are: Albany College of Pharmacy, Assumption College, Babson College, Becker College, Bentley University, Berklee College of Music, Boston College, Bridgewater State University, Bryant University, Bucknell University, Cerritos College, Clarkson University, Clemson University, Coastal Carolina University, College of the Holy Cross, Cornell University, Curry College, Dalhousie University, Dartmouth College, Dean College, Denison University, DePaul University, DePauw University, Drexel University, Duke University, Duquesne University, Eastman School of Music of the U of Rochester, Elon University, Emerson College, Emmanuel College, Emory University, Endicott College, Fordham University - Rose Hill Campus, Framingham State University, Gordon College, Harvard University, Hofstra University, Ithaca College, James Madison University, Keene State College, Lafayette College, Lasell College, Lehigh University Lesley University, London College of Fashion, Loyola University Maryland, Marist College, Marymount Manhattan College, Massachusetts Bay Community College, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Mercer University, Messiah College, Michigan State University, Middlebury College, New England College, New England Culinary Institute, New York University, Nichols College, North Carolina State University, Northeastern University, Pennsylvania State University, Plymouth State University, Providence College, Quinnipiac University, Quinsigamond Community College, Radford University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Roger Williams University, Rutgers University-New Brunswick, Saint Anselm College, Saint Michael's College, Salem State University, Salve Regina University, Santa Clara University, Simmons College, Skidmore College, Southern New Hampshire University, St. Lawrence University, State University of New York at Albany, Stonehill College, Stony Brook University, SUNY Oswego, Syracuse University, Temple University, The Citadel, George Washington University, The University of Arizona, The University of Tampa, Trinity College, Tufts University, Tulane University, Union College, United States Air Force Academy, 186 University of Bridgeport, University of California, Los Angeles, University of California, San Diego, University of Cincinnati, University of Colorado at Boulder, University of Connecticut, University of Delaware, University of Hartford, University of Illinois at Chicago, University of Maine, University of Maryland, University of Massachusetts Amherst, University of Massachusetts Boston, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, University of Massachusetts Lowell, University of Miami, University of New Hampshire, University of Rhode Island, University of Rochester, University of South Carolina, University of Vermont, University of Virginia, Ursinus College, Vanderbilt University, Villanova University, Wake Forest University, Westfield State University, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester State University. Nine students in the Class of 2015 were named National Merit Commended Scholars: Cyrus Freshman, Jessica Hersch, Emily Lewkowicz, Julia Li, Brendan Long, Cassidy Lowell, Mary- Paule Monks, Tessa Patapoutian, and Amanda Pickens. Three students in the Class of 2015 were named National Merit Semifinalists: Erik Fliegauf, Brianna Gallo, and David Wang. These twelve students scored among the highest throughout the nation. One hundred fifty-one students at Hopkinton High School earned the designation of 2015 AP Scholar by the College Board in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the college- level Advanced Placement Program (AP) exams. Among the Class of 2016, 83 Hopkinton High School seniors will be offered the John and Abigail Adams Scholarship. This award qualifies these students for four years of free tuition at any of the state’s public colleges and universities. These winners, all from the Class of 2016, earned the honor by being among the top scorers on the MCAS exam taken in their sophomore year. Science Last February, we had 16 projects compete in various fields of science and engineering for scholarships and other awards. Students worked either alone or in teams on independent research of their own choosing, supported by a mentor teacher. We owe our continuing program to the generous support of the HPTA and Bose who make it possible for any student to have a fully funded research project. Here are the Science Fair results from '14-'15 school year: High School Science Fair: 3rd prize: Ashley Nee "Association of Smell and Memory Impariment" 2nd prize: Brian Best "Modeling Highway Systems Using Physarum Polycephalum" 1st prize: Colin Staab "A New Method for Muscle Regeneration" Worcester Regional Science and Engineering Fair: 3rd award: Colin Staab - "A New Method for Muscle Regeneration" 4th award: Hannah Sweeney - "Changing Pigmentation of Pieris rapae" Hon Men: Brian Best- "Modeling Highway Systems Using Physarum Polycephalum" Massachusetts State Science and Engineering Fair: Four Hopkinton High School students competed at the state fair in Cambridge (MIT). Hon. Men: Colin Staab "A New Method for Muscle Regeneration" Music The high school bands, chorus, and string ensemble performed throughout the year at various school concerts and town functions. The groups all performed at the Massachusetts Instrumental and Choral Conductors Association Festivals. The High School Concert Band 187 earned a gold medal rating for superior performance and were invited to perform at the MICCA Gold Medal Showcase at Symphony Hall in Boston. Additionally, the High School Chorus, Repertory Band, String orchestra and Men’s Choir earned a silver medal representing “excellent performance”. Students from Hopkinton were also selected by audition to perform with the Massachusetts Music Educators Association Central District Music Festival Band, Orchestra, or Chorus. Vocalists Bella Komodormos and Jack McAuliffe, performed with the Central District Festival Chorus. Representing Hopkinton in the District Band were Tiffany Hou, Rachael Chen Jonathan Keeley and Andrew Keeley. Bronwyn Pappas-Byers and Devon Rancourt were selected for the District Orchestra. Bella Kmodromos, Jack McAuliffe, Devon Rancort, Rachael Chen, Jonathan and Andrew Keely, and Dan Moreno received recommendations to audition for the Massachusttes Music Educators Assoiciation All State Festival. Over 1000 students from the state have the opportunity to audition for very selective ensembles. Vocalist Bella Komodormos will represent Hopkinton High School at this year’s 62nd Massachusetts Music Educators All-State Conference and Festival. In the fall of 2015 the Hopkinton High School Drama Ensemble, under the direction of Valerie von Rosenvinge (producer/director) and Isaac Brody (musical direction), wowed audiences with their production of 42nd St. What made this show so special was the initiative of the students to learn the dance routines. In addition to the 65 students involved in the cast and crew, there were 21 student musicians who performed in the orchestra under the direction of Craig Hay. The Hopkinton High School Jazz Ensemble under the direction of Jeremy Dodge performed in the University of New Hampshire Clark Terry Jazz Festival. This was a first for any of our jazz ensembles and the students earned an excellent rating. The Jazz Ensemble also produced their first recording as they prepared for the Charles Mingus Festival in New York City. The Hopkinton High School Chorus and Orchestra, under the direction of Isaac Brody, performed at the State House in Boston on January 12 2015. The students were guests of State Representative Caroline Dykema and performed in the rotunda. During 2015 The Hopkinton High School Drama Ensemble tackled two artistically challenging pieces of theatre. In March they mounted a much celebrated production of William Shakespeare's The Tempest and in November 43 students took to the stage and brought to life the classic American musical 42nd Street. With direction and choreography by drama teacher, Valerie von Rosenvinge and musical direction by Isaac Brody, the actors were supported by 15 students backstage and an orchestra of 20 under the direction of Craig Hay. In addition to these two main stage productions, HHS Drama presented 4 student written and directed pieces in the One Act Play Festival which is part of the Annual Arts Festival held in May. The Arts The students involved in the visual arts at Hopkinton High School had several amazing opportunities this year. In October, 11 high school students committed their drawings skills to the 300th Committee and over several months produced an amazing collection of pen and ink drawings for the Historic Home and Garden Tour. The student volunteers were: Topher Sylvester, Christian Norton, Audrey Gladu, Isabel Holden, Victoria Feng, Erica Stefano, Mia Coutinho, Emily Joyce, Annie Dumas, Alissa Mitchell, Chryssanthi Barris. 188 Christine Enos, the newest member of the HHS Art Department, lead a group of Studio Art II students in both the Fall and the Spring to Rhode Island School of Design. Students visited the RISD library to look at the artist book collection as inspiration for their handmade book unit. Students also visited the Edna Lawrence Nature Lab. In January, out of the 129 submissions that were sent to the Boston Globe Scholastic Art Awards Competition, Hopkinton High School students received 41 state level awards: 6 Gold Keys, 12 Silver Keys and 23 Honorable Mentions. The Gold Key winning pieces were on display at the 808 Gallery at Boston University in March. In April, 11 Juniors and Seniors participated in our Annual High School Honors Art Exhibition at the Hopkinton Center for the Arts. The featured students were: Annie Dumas, Victoria Feng, Lauren Hazzard, Chryssanthi Barris, Max Charteris, Mia Coutinho, Maggie Siegfried, Emily Joyce, Maddie Juffras, Sara Freedman and Graham Kulig. Additionally, in April, the HHS Art Club had the opportunity to unveil their “Winged Foot” painting at the annual Stars and Scholars event at Elmwood. This group of students along with their advisor, teacher Kris Kellenberger worked on the piece for Elmwood Principal, David Ljungberg as a homage to the Boston Marathon. May was a busy month for the HHS Art Department. Hopkinton parent and Bose employee, Polly Tandon brought the “User Experience Workshop” to HHS. 15 Students from the Graphic Design and Digital Photography courses participated in an hour and 40 minute workshop exploring how art, technology, science and engineering come together at Bose. And senior, Morgan Vanbeek and sophomore, Sasha Hagan won awards this month in the Congressional Art Competition, both for Photography. Additionally the HHS Art Department nominated two juniors, Meg Bradbury and Chryssanthi Barris to attend the 2015 Art All State Event held at UMass Dartmouth. These students attended the intense 2 day program in June with over 145 other Massachusetts’ high school juniors. Over the two days, students worked in groups with professional artist mentors and designed original installation pieces. Students learned about art related career opportunities and explored contemporary art. The event commenced with a public viewing of each installation along with a special reception. We had an exceptional turnout for our Annual Night for the Arts at the high school and the middle school. In addition to the hundreds of pieces of artwork from 6th-12th graders, we successfully featured for the first time over two dozen pieces of student work from both Elmwood and Center Schools and over 70 pieces of student work from Hopkins. 3 Principal Awards were granted this night at the high school to Senior, Isabella Perino, Sophomore, Sasha Hagan and Sophomore, Sarah Lincoln. Our 10th Edition of HopArt Magazine was released the night of the show to the public and was juried by HHS Class of 2009 Graduate, Kate Schenot who is now the Creative Director for DEI Creative in Seattle Washington. 5 other HHS alumni came out that night to share their experiences in the art and design world and demonstrated to all of us the important role that the visual arts have played in shaping their career choices. We also shared the evening with the Drama students and teacher Valerie VonRosenvigne for the One Act Play Festival. Teacher Isaac Brody, from the music department, coordinated a magnificent performance by Noteworthy, the HS women's chorus, as well as a small group of string players. The Robotics Team and their advisor Mike McFarland were also hard at work and transformed one of their robots into a snack butler for the evening. From June through August the HHS Photography Club members and their advisor, Sterling Worrell, worked in conjunction with the 300th Committee to develop the the “Dear Hopkinton” 189 photography project. This project kicked off in September during the “Light Up the Night & Family Picnic” event. On top of it being a busy year for the high school students, 2015 was a busy one for several Art Department members. Kris Kellenberger was honored in the Fall at Mass Academy of Math & Science at a luncheon for “most influential teachers” by a former HHS student and had her own artwork juried into the Danforth Museum’s 2015 Community of Artists Exhibition. Kris also continued to hang monthly to bi-monthly student exhibits at Vinny’s Pizzeria in downtown Hopkinton. Ceramics teacher, Ann Rainey, had her artwork juried into the 16th ArtsWorcester Biennial. Photography teacher, Sterling Worrell was awarded a 2015 Innovative Educator Canvas Grant for his newly developed course “Smartphone Photography: Leveraging the power of social media and smartphone technology to create and collaborate” to be offered for 2015- 2016 school year. Colleen Gianino, the K-12 Visual Art Subject Matter Leader, was awarded a grant for “Enhancing the Digital Art Curriculum through Interactive Experiences” from the Hopkinton Education Foundation. The implementation of the grant will take place during the 2015-2016 school year. Clubs and Activities In the 2015 season, the Mock Trial club competed against teams from Milford High School, the Brandon School, and Franklin High School. All of the trial enactments took place in local district courts, adding to the excitement of the competition. This year's fictitious criminal case concerns Harry Kumar, a man whose life was cut short when he was shot by the defendant. But was the shooting a criminal act, or was the defendant legally justified in aiming his gun at Harry and pulling the trigger? If the shooting was a criminal act, was it murder in the first degree, or was the defendant acting in self-defense? The students played roles of witnesses (including the defendant, the defendant's nephew, the decedent's daughter, a police officer, and two forensic experts) and attorneys as they explored these questions. The team worked hard this season, led by captains Penelope Martin and Zachary Best. Robotics Club The Hopkinton High School robotics team – Team 5163, the Aluminum Warriors – competed in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) again this year; this was the team’s second year at the FRC level. FRC is considered the ultimate Sport for the Mind because it combines the excitement of a sport with the rigors of science and technology. After the kickoff on January 3, 2015, the team spent the next six weeks planning, designing, and building their robot in order to compete in the yearly challenge. The 2015 challenge was called Recycle Rush, which involved picking up and stacking totes on scoring platforms, putting pool noodles inside recycling containers, and putting the containers on top of scoring stacks of totes. Once the robot was built, the team competed in two district events, the first at Nashua South High School in Nashua, NH, and the second at Bryant University in Smithfield, RI. While the team did an outstanding job at both events, technical difficulties kept them from advancing further in the competition. Nonetheless, they never gave up, and are to be commended for their attitude, drive, and determination. The 2015 team consisted of 10 males and five females (nine juniors, four sophomores, and two freshman), and was sponsored by Boston Scientific, Spark Capital, EMC, Bose, and Cornell’s Irish Pub. 190 Model United Nations allows for students to participate in simulations of actual UN bodies as well as other international committees and organizations. The Model UN conferences create opportunities for students to discuss and debate real-life issues and challenges that face diplomats and politicians. Students attending these conferences are interested in developing a passion for negotiation and an interest in international diplomacy. Committees debate and negotiate resolutions to topics related to environmental issues, science and technology, modern crisis simulations as well as historical crises. Model United Nations conferences provide students with a unique experience to negotiate global issues with other students from other high schools. Hopkinton High School attended five conferences during 2015. Over the weekend of February 6-8, 2015 the Model UN club traveled to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for their annual Model United Nations conference. MITMUNC is unique in that its committees usually have a scientific or technological focus. This conference draws students from all over the world, including Turkey, France, China, India, and Oman. MIT awards students for their preparation, attitude and performance during their committee sessions throughout the weekend. Although winning awards is not a focus for Hopkinton’s Model UN program, it is amazing that our students are regularly recognized for their hard work. Adam Graubart, ‘15 -- Best Delegate Chris Schenker, ‘15 -- Best Position Paper Regina Gemma, ‘16 -- Best Position Paper Zachary Best , ‘15 -- Outstanding Delegate Daron Arakelian, ‘15 -- Honorable Mention Quinn Fitzpatrick, ‘15 -- Honorable Mention Andrew Skrypczak, ‘15 -- Honorable Mention Kyra Moed, ‘16 -- Honorable Mention Jacob Rosenzweig, ‘17 -- Honorable Mention 2015 also marked a year of attending new events and conferences for Hopkinton High S The Model UN club participated in the town’s 300th anniversary parade on the High School’s float. Additionally, over the weekend of March 27-29, the club brought 22 students to Boston College’s Model UN conference in Boston’s Back Bay and on November 14 the club attended Catholic Memorial’s annual Model UN Conference. National Honor Society had a membership of over 200 juniors and seniors. Over the course of the academic year as a group the organization participated in MLK Day in Hopkinton, working to create and donate blankets and coloring books for Children's Hospital in Boston as well as Metrowest Medical Center in Framingham. The group also led an afternoon tea for the seniors of Hopkinton in April. This tea was a wonderful opportunity for the high school students to talk with and learn from experienced members of their community. The organization also gave one $500 scholarship to a senior who demonstrated the four characteristics of National Honor Society - Leadership, Academic Success, Character and a Commitment to Service. Additionally, each of the members was responsible for twenty hours of community service on their own time. Together these students volunteered more than 4,000 hours in the greater Boston area at varied organizations servicing the young, old, artistic community, athletic community, those in hospitals and much more. Hopkinton High School’s clubs have many community service partners. They include: American Cancer Society, American Red Cross, Bay Path Humane Society, Best Buddies, Friends of Greyhounds, Golden Pond, Hopkinton Senior Center, Lions Club, Martin Luther King 191 Day Community Service Project, Michael Carter Lisnow Respite Center, Milford Hospital, Project Just Because, Relay for Life, Special Olympics, and Women Shelters.

Our school year started with our annual All School Cookout where our newest students received t-shirts designed by our own grade 7 student Natalie Beck. Our Desire to Inspire initiative entered its second year with tremendous excitement. Mr. Charles Rockwood, grade 7 English teacher, completed a course in Greek Studies course and shared his learning on Ancient Greece and literature with our school community. Ms. Debra Pinto ran the Boston Marathon, and all of our students participated in our school-wide 2.62 Marathon Challenge. The “Sky’s the Limit” Courtyard Project is off and running. The cost of the project to date has been paid for entirely by private donations. Construction of Phase 1 is now complete and design features for the inner courtyard include brick walkways and a performance area. Additional funds have been pledged towards Phase 2 and the finalizing of the Phase 2 design is well underway. We continued to enhance our offerings of after school clubs and activities by adding a Computer Programming Club, Ultimate Fandom Club, Dance Club, and released our second Lip Dub, following up on our 2013 effort. As a school, our improvement efforts focused on three areas: Intervention/Enrichment, Health/Wellness and Transition. ● Through Intervention/Enrichment, we made it our goal as a school to deliver to students timely and targeted remediation and/or enrichment. ● In Health and Wellness, our staff was focused on expanding our reach to students ensuring that they have a trusted adult to whom they can turn, and to continue our efforts in building greater resiliency in our students. ● As a school, we looked to improve the transition our students experience as they join us in grade 6 and leave us from grade 8. We received survey data from current grade 6 students and parents and exiting grade 8. Our students and parents engaged in focus group conversations that helped to bring this data to life and inform changes at both levels. We introduced two new classes to our students, Progressive Leadership to grades 6-8 and Energy and the Environment to our grade 6 students. Students and teachers were introduced to a 1:1 computer environment in grade 8 math and science classrooms as a way to deliver a more personalized, student-centered learning environment. Our goal was to equip students with the tools to problem-solve and think critically, to provide more individualized instruction with consistent feedback, to decrease the amount of time in the traditional “feedback loop,” to increase their engagement and access to resources, and to foster collaboration and communication. Throughout the year, these teachers and students shared their experiences and learning with our staff as well as sharing their feedback on the appropriateness of the Chromebook. Finally, we added two new positions to our school--a grade 6 Humanities and math/science team that will help to reduce class sizes. In addition, we had several retirements and one 194 resignation that allowed us to welcome the following new staff members to Hopkinton Middle School: Amy Borges was hired as our grade 6 Project Lead the Way teacher. Amy taught science and technology at a charter school in Worcester, Massachusetts for six years. She completed her undergraduate degree in engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and later obtained a master’s degree in education and biology at Worcester State University. Malcolm Cheney was hired as a grade 7 Social Studies teacher. Malcolm graduated from Keene State College with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Secondary Education, and is a product of Hopkinton Public Schools. Ryan Choquet became the new Technology Technician at the Middle School. He spent last year working in the same position at the High School.

CENTER SCHOOL Families choose Hopkinton for the quality education Hopkinton Public Schools is known for. Center School is situated on the edge of the Town Common in an historic building. The community had been seeking a solution to the challenges of Center School and in November 2015, the community voted to approve the proposal for the new elementary school at 135 Hayden Rowe. The project is now in the design development phase. The Center School building is a town landmark, and will remain a fixture on the Town Common for generations to come once the new elementary school is built. The Board of Selectmen has initiated a process to examine potential reuses for the Center School. Center School welcomed many new staff the 2014-2015 school year: kindergarten teachers Meredith Beauregard and Rebecca Leary, first grade teacher Julie Kahn, special educator Alyssa Peloquin, and behaviorist Anastasia Dilling. In June of 2015, kindergarten teacher, Karen McCaw, retired after 40 years of teaching hundreds of young Hopkinton learners. Mrs. McCaw led the Center School Flag Day parade around the Common to the cheers of many, a wonderful salute to her educational career. We welcomed new staff in the fall of 2015: kindergarten teacher Malorie Bartlett, first grade teachers Stephanie Cooke and Laura Katragjini, special educator Julie Robichaud, and art teacher Karen Lucy. 196 Center School continued to experience enrollment that required the use of additional space over the course of the 2014-2015 school year. The school year ended with overall school enrollment of 447 comprised of 227 first grade students and 220 full day kindergarten students. The 2015- 2016 school year began with an enrollment of 448; 238 first graders and 207 kindergarten students. The central focus continues to be meeting the needs of all learners in kindergarten and first grade. Both grade levels address the educational needs of the whole child at the early childhood level, in a proactive manner, strengthening the foundation for all students, with the goal of decreasing the need for remediation in later years. An excellent Early Childhood program is critical in providing students with a successful beginning at school resulting in motivated students and a model of prevention over remediation. Investing in quality early learning programs is the most efficient way to affect school and life success. Continuous improvement is regularly sought. As we build upon previous learnings and current research, for both students and staff, our approach to meeting the needs of all improves. Staff regularly review curriculum, assessment, and instruction during professional development opportunities, building based meetings, and weekly Professional Learning Community meetings, (PLCs). These focused meetings positively impact student growth and facilitate adjustment to instruction. Supporting the alignment to state standards, district standards, and grade level consistency are Curriculum Teacher Leaders (CTLs) for each level in the areas of English Language Arts and Math. Our focus remains on school goals as outlined in the School Improvement Plan, which aligns with the District Strategic Plan. This focus is on student growth, the adjustment to practice and the creation of a respectful school environment. Staff continues to implement Responsive Classroom through the daily routines and expectations. Expanding knowledge of this positive approach has resulted in consistency and a common language throughout the school. Changes to instruction positively impacted student learning. Center School had four co-teaching classrooms in 2014-2015; a reading and special education co-taught classroom at the K and Gr. 1 levels. Responding to shifts in student population resulted in these co-teaching classrooms to be at the first grade level in 2015-2016. We are fortunate to have strong community groups that support Center School. The Hopkinton Education Foundation (HEF) awarded Center School a Foundations in Engineering grant which enhanced our instruction resulting in a unique experience for Center School students by providing innovative, interactive experiences that facilitated a deeper understanding of STEM concepts. Kindergarten and first grade students engaged in hands-on lessons developed by the Boston Museum of Science that directly supports the Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Standards. The culminating activity was a visit from a traveling museum, Mobile Ed’s STEM Museum. Our Center School gymnasium was transformed into a state-of-the-art hands-on children’s museum focused on STEM education in April of 2015. Students engaged in workstations that augmented our science and math curriculum, but also exposed them to high-tech fields of study. The Hopkinton Parent Teacher Association (HPTA) has sponsored a variety of enrichment activities including performances by Pumpernickel Puppets, storyteller Len Cabral, character education singer Johnny the K, interactive math games and skit performances by Arithmetickles, and Food Play, a health and nutrition live theater performance. 197 Parents continued to have a presence at Center School in a variety of roles including mystery reader, community gardener, library, and time for teachers volunteer. We thank all families who support Center School, be it at home organizing book orders to reading with students in class. All volunteers contributed to our Center School community. Respectfully submitted, Lauren Dubeau, Principal ELMWOOD SCHOOL Elmwood School consists of all second and third grade students attending Hopkinton Public Schools. As of October 2014, 465 students were enrolled at Elmwood School, a decrease of four students from the previous year. There were eleven -second grade classrooms with a total of 241 students and ten -third grade classrooms with a total of 224 students. Class sizes averaged 22-23 students per class. The Hopkinton Integrated Pre-School joined Elmwood School this year and we were delighted to welcome staff, students and families. The preschool supports and educates three and four year old students who have been identified with a disability, along with a number of typically developing youngsters. The preschool has low student/teacher ratio, highly qualified Special Education Teachers, experienced related services providers and highly trained Paraprofessionals. In 2015, Beth Newton, Stacey Levesque, and Kelly Lawton were all hired as second grade teachers. Nikki Cook and Karen Vail also joined us as general education paraprofessionals to support teaching and learning in second and third grades. Christina Tenaglia joined our teaching staff as a Learning Specialist and her team expanded to include Sean Milan, Joseph Mulvey and Serena Choquet, as Applied Behavior Analysis paraprofessionals. Each brought a skillset and passion for teaching and learning to our team. In spring 2015, consultant Leslie Laud began working with grade 2 teachers on Self-Regulated Strategy Development. SRSD is a six-stage gradual release model of instruction for supporting writing process instruction. When used to teach writing, this approach supports student in developing the skills, strategies and self-regulation capacities that expert writers possess. The SRSD writing initiative began at Center School with first graders and through Title 1 funding we were able to keep the momentum for the writing model going at Elmwood School. In 2015, the interactive learning model continued, with strategies and tasks moving into third grade classrooms. In addition to our focus on writing, teachers participated in professional development in the area of math. Professor Mahesh Sharma, founder and President of the Center for Teaching/Learning of Mathematics of Framingham, visited Elmwood School. His workshop model of professional development focused on psychology and the processes of learning mathematics, including model lessons with Elmwood students that provided a rich resource for teachers. Elmwood School continued to focus on effective, high quality instruction to meet the needs of all students. Teacher schedules were carefully created to include time for weekly Professional Learning Community (PLC) meetings, during which teacher teams worked collaboratively to look at student data and make adjustments to instruction. 198 Supporting the alignment to state standards, district standards, and grade level consistency are Curriculum Teacher Leaders (CTLs) for each level in the areas of English Language Arts and Math. This year, CTLs worked weekly with grade level teams to carefully look at standards for teaching and learning. This work aligns with school goals as outlined in the School Improvement Plan, which aligns with the District Strategic Plan. Our focus continued to be on student growth, the adjustment to practice and the creation of a respectful school environment. Staff continued to implement Responsive Classroom through the daily routines and expectations. Expanding knowledge of this positive approach has resulted in consistency and a common language throughout the school. Elmwood School continued to benefit from the support of the HPTA, which sponsored the costs of the third grade Techsploration and Plimoth Plantation Programs again this year. The second grade enjoyed a return visit from Living Historian, “Amelia Earhart.” Both grades enjoyed a visit from Johnny the K, who provided an inspiring and uplifting performance called, “Be a Buddy- Not a Bystander,” meant to educate children about the dangers of bullying. Additionally, the whole school was inspired by an afternoon with Rick and Dick Hoyt who shared a powerful message of perseverance and love to Elmwood School. The Kenyan runners, sponsored by John Hancock, Inc., returned to Elmwood School as part of the “Scholars and Stars” Program. Kenyan elite marathon runners have been a tradition at Elmwood School since April 1993. The day included a rally in the school’s gym and classroom visits where students and runners shared traditions, motivation and inspiration. In conjunction with our running theme and being heart healthy—the Hopkinton Running Club sponsored the Marathon Challenge again this year. Students were encouraged to run or walk 26.2 miles over a ten-week period. Many were successful and won gold medals, akin to those of the Boston Marathoners to signify their commitment to the challenge. Elmwood students and teachers celebrated fitness, a love of running and healthy habits, during the eight-week Marathon Fitness Challenge Program! In summary, Elmwood School was successful in 2015, due to the commitment and combined efforts of the Superintendent of Schools, the Hopkinton School Committee, the Elmwood School Community, parents, and teachers. Respectfully submitted, Anne M. Carver, Principal EDWARD HOPKINS SCHOOL Hopkins School began the 2014-2015 school year by welcoming 540 students to school on September 4, 2014. Hopkins’ total enrollment represented 274 fourth graders and 266 fifth graders. Hopkins School operated with 24 classrooms of students, making the average class size approximately 23 students per classroom. In addition to core instruction in Reading, Writing, Math, Science, and Social Studies, students participated in a well-rounded offering of Physical Education, Health, Art, General Music, and Techno-Library while at Hopkins School. There were a number of faculty and staff changes during the 2014-2015 school year as a result of resignations, retirements, and programmatic changes from the previous year. Mr. Tim Kearnan was hired as the Principal of Hopkins School, after serving as the Assistant Principal the previous two years. Ms. Vanessa Bilello joined the staff as the new Assistant Principal. Ms. 199 Traci Daubman was hired as a Fourth Grade teacher. In addition, Ms. Katherine Berg and Ms. Kathleen Radford were hired as Learning Specialists, and Ms. Kaitlin Twomey was hired as the School Psychologist. Ms. Caitlin MacDonald joined the Hopkins music staff as the Instrumental Music teacher. Ms. Christina Flynn was hired as a paraprofessional, while Ms. Jeanne Kessler and Ms. Samantha Florest joined Hopkins as paraprofessionals after working at other schools in the District. Analysis of curriculum, instruction, and assessment was the focus of grade level and faculty meetings. Teachers strived to make data-driven and evidence-based decisions in order to improve student outcomes. Data points included results from the 2014 Massachusetts Curriculum Assessment (MCAS), Galileo benchmark assessments, the Benchmark Assessment System (BAS), and classroom-based assessments such as math unit tests and writing samples. The results of these assessments helped inform teachers’ instructional decisions and determined which interventions, extensions, and supports might be necessary for students to make expected growth and progress. Morning Meetings, consistent teacher language, and an emphasis on character education are ways in which Hopkins School maintained a respectful school and classroom community. Continued use of the Responsive Classroom (RC) approach to education could be seen throughout Hopkins. The significance of each student and recognizing our similarities, strengths, and differences was key in creating an environment conducive to learning and growth. The Hopkins School Council met throughout the year. The Council reviewed budgetary proposals, programmatic changes, and provided guidance on the School Improvement Plan (SIP). The SIP was aligned to the District Strategic Plan. The Council members included parent representatives, Ms. Laura Barry, Ms. Alexis Miller, Ms. Jen Beauvais, and Ms. Maureen Belger; community representative, Ms. Dawn Ronan; and faculty representatives, Mr. Tim Kearnan, Ms. Vanessa Bilello, Ms. Marie Clark, Ms. Maribeth Tremblay, and Ms. Joan Frank. Strong community support continued to be evident at the Hopkins School during the 2014-2015 school year. The Hopkinton Parent Teacher Association (HPTA) continued its efforts to support students and teachers by volunteering and fundraising on behalf of Hopkins’ students. Fundraising supported enrichment programs, such as poet Lyn Hoopes, Techsploration, and arts and cultural programs such as Inca Son. Additionally, the Hopkinton Education Foundation (HEF) awarded Hopkins teachers with a number of grants to support their innovative work with students. Several events highlighted the community spirit at Hopkins School. In the fall, led by Ms. Bindu Pal, Hopkins hosted its first International Night. Families gathered together to celebrate Hopkinton’s cultural diversity through food, music, presentations, and dress. Approximately 500 students and family members attended this special event. Another highlight included the 5th Grade Talent Show. Our fifth grade students showcased their many talents and class spirit by entertaining parents and community members. All proceeds from this event went to benefit the diabetes charity JDRF. At the conclusion of the school year, several veteran Hopkins staff members began new chapters in their lives by retiring or taking positions elsewhere. General Music teacher Ms. Donna Eichorn retired after more than 30 years in the classroom. Fourth grade teacher Ms. Nili Bartley accepted a Technology Integration Specialist position at Center School and Elmwood School, while her colleague Ms. Jennifer Keeler accepted a position in another town closer to her home. Their service to the students of Hopkins School over many years is appreciated. 200 Improving and maintaining the quality of the Hopkins School experience for our 4th and 5th graders would be an impossible endeavor without the support of the community, District Administration, parents, and teachers. In summary, the success of the 2014-2015 school year was due to the efforts of many individuals working to ‘learn, create, and achieve together.’ STUDENT SERVICES The Student Services Office provides appropriate and comprehensive programming through the use of local, state, and federal funding and grants. Educational programs for students Pre-K to age 22 ensure high standards and expectations for both staff and students through quality training, research-based instruction, and data driven decisions. The Student Services Office works in collaboration with the schools to meet the needs of Special Education students ages 3 to 22, Child Find, students on 504 Plans and McKinney Vento. A range of programs and a continuum of services are available to all our learners. Our goal is always to provide services for student’s success, achievement, and transitions throughout their school years so they have every opportunity to become independent, lifelong learners, and productive citizens in a global, competitive society. One of our initiatives this year was to enhance the transition planning process for students with disabilities. Transition planning is a process that assists students with transitioning from high school to young adulthood. Planning and setting appropriate goals is an essential part of this process. Factors include post-secondary goals, career, vocational and independent living skills. Transition plans must begin no later than the first IEP developed when the eligible student is 14. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires that transition planning be part of the Individualized Education Program (IEP). Dr. Margaret Reed, State and National presenter was hired through grant funds to train educators in enhancing the transition planning process this year. An ongoing priority this year was to work closely with building, and central office administrators as well as faculty to analyze multiple measures of assessment and data to develop a variety of interventions for students with high needs. Teams were focused on identifying students at risk, analyzing data and resources utilized, planning appropriate interventions, and adjusting practice when necessary. Student progress was continually monitored throughout this process. The goal of this initiative was to establish high expectations for all students and close the achievement gap between general education students and students with high needs. The ABA programs at Preschool, Center, Elmwood, Hopkins and the Middle School continued to collect and analyze data on a daily basis to monitor each student’s instructional needs. Data Finch, an online data collection program for intensive needs students requiring specialized curriculum was used throughout 2015. Last year staff in the intensive programs were trained in Safety Care. Safety Care is a physical restraint program that emphasizes de-escalation strategies to reduce the need for restraint whenever possible. In 2015 we have fully embraced and committed to training staff and administrators district wide in the Safety Care program. This initiative provided consistency and ensured all staff is trained in the same model to provide effective student intervention when needed. Hopkinton Integrated Preschool maintains National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Accreditation. In an effort to provide a convenient process for parents, we changed the preschool registration procedures in 2015. All parents registering students for preschool now contact Vickie Paine, Secretary for assistance, vpaine@hopkinton.k12.ma.us, rather than outreaching various staff at the building and district level. The Preschool staff 201 continues collaborating with Center School staff each spring to facilitate the transition of their students into Kindergarten the following year. The Life Skills, 18 to 22 Year Olds Program at the high school continue to grow. The individuals in this program access several vocational sites each week including Golden Pond Assisted Living, Not Your Average Joe’s, Marshall's, Price Chopper, Target, the Hopkinton Public Library, Milford Public Library, Hudson Animal Hospital, and the Hopkins School library, and art classroom, to help prepare materials for teachers. They also assist the Hopkinton Center for the Arts with distribution of flyers and brochures in the greater Hopkinton community. They access two community gym locations, practice banking skills, and access public transportation via the Lift Bus. This year students in the high school program opened the Daily Grind Coffee Shop. Students were provided with opportunities to learn how to make coffee and hot chocolate, practices following written directions through fulfilling order forms, and delivered orders to staff around the building, which also provides them opportunities to practice social skills. Both programs had weekly grocery shopping excursions, meal preparation, as well as dining opportunities. Students also participated in multi-community social activities with other local districts. The Extended Day program expanded this year to include a four day schedule designed to provide a range of activities involving typical peers whenever possible. Activities included Yoga, Art, Best Buddies, and Cooking. Expert providers instructed the students to ensure they receive the best opportunity to learn during this program. The Extended School Year Program continued in 2015 for students with identified needs. In addition to an enriching instructional environment we offered a combination of recreational and social activities for our students as part of their school day. Depending on their age group, students had the opportunity to participate in yoga, tennis, arts and crafts, Sensibility Gym, Sing, Act, Dance, and some activities at the YMCA camp. This past year SPEAC of Hopkinton became Hopkinton SEPAC. SEPAC is the Special Education Parent Advisory Council. Hopkinton SEPAC membership is open to any and all parties. If a child has trouble with reading, writing, math, has an identified disability or perhaps is undiagnosed, but has a definitive presence of a disability, organizational or attention difficulties, Hopkinton SEPAC is available. The Hopkinton SEPAC is facilitated by the SEPAC chair in partnership with the Director of Student Services and meets monthly. The Student Services Office will continue to evaluate current programs and their capacity to service students with diverse needs in the district. We will also work closely with other Leadership staff including the Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, Building Principals and the SEPAC Board to create more collaboration and alignment among special and general educators.

The goals adopted related to the following: Policy Review, Budget Analysis, Recruitment, and Advanced Placement (AP) Programming. The Committee completed its periodic evaluation of the Superintendent’s accomplishments against established goals and desired qualities established in the DESE Rubric and found him to be Proficient in all areas. The complete record of this evaluation is a public document that will be available at the South Middlesex Regional School District Superintendent’s Office. School Improvement Plans The School Improvement Plan for the 2015-2016 school year embodies specific performance objectives as follows: 1) Create Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) to involve teachers in a yearlong discussion on analysis of different instructional strategies, 2) In Algebra I, review and update textbooks, materials, and curriculum to reflect the incremental steps necessary to prepare for a stronger mathematical foundation, 3) During the 2015-2016 school year, members of the Admissions Team will continue to revise strategies for the enrollment and retention of students, 4) During the 2015-2016 school year, students in grades 9-12 will demonstrate increased behaviors that are commonly associated with being successful including: self-management skills, social skills, and readiness to learn, 5) During the 2015-2016 school year, we will continue to analyze attendance data and include tardiness to school to determine patterns and trends and increase proactive strategies regarding consistent school attendance for students in all grade levels, 6) During the course of the 2015-2016 school year, the CTE instructors will improve their recruiting efforts through the development of initiatives that will promote, enhance and create real impact to increase enrollment at the school, 7) During the 2015-2016 school year, the Special Education Department will continue implementation of a tiered and systematic approach to intervention, prevention, early detection, and support for students who experience learning or behavioral challenges by expanding this process with training and implementation of both Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS). The Professional Development Program for 2015 involved numerous offerings designed to enhance the educational experiences of students. The following list of topics were addressed: Writing across the curriculum in CTE classes, Differentiation, Formative Assessment, Instructional Strategies for Student Engagement, Instructional Technology, Classroom Strategies for ELL Students, Culturally Responsive Instruction, Mass Tiered System of Support and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). The Committee reviewed the progress toward the goals of the 2014 -2015 School Improvement Plan. The report of Principal Snow noted tangible specific improvements in: 1) Offered professional development for teachers based on training and support as determined by the evaluation process, 2) Strengthened the instructional strategies of all teachers to accommodate different student learning styles and needs, 3) Transitioned to Naviance, a web-based college and career planning program, 4) Analyzed attendance data for trends and patterns in order to offer more timely interventions, 5) Implemented common district determined measures with pre and post assessments for all CTE areas and 6) The Special Education Department implemented a tiered system of intervention, prevention, early detection and support for students who experience learning of behavioral challenges and adheres with the Massachusetts Tiered System of Support. 205 Handbook The Committee approved revisions to the Student Handbook that had previously been approved by the School Council. Added to the handbook was the requirement for students to earn a minimum average to be eligible for summer school courses, and the area of school discipline was updated pursuant to MGL c. 71 §37, 37H ½ , 37H ¾, which outlines provisions of communication, due process and the continuation of educational services in student discipline. The Budget Process The Budget Sub-Committee members Ed Burman (Chair), Myra Bushell, Larry Cooper, Mia Crandall, Tassos Filledes, and Barry Sims are beginning the FY17 budget development process. In 2015, the Superintendent continued the practice of communicating early in the budget process with the financial officers of the member towns to develop mutual awareness of both municipal budget constraints and the efforts of the Committee to manage the school efficiently and effectively while recognizing those limitations. The Committee continued to consider reductions in the preliminary budget and the budget of $17,640,054 as submitted to the member towns for FY16 was approved by all. Auditor’s Report The annual audit by the independent accounting firm of McCarthy & Hargrave is in the process of preparing the financial statements for committee review. During the preliminary process no material findings were reported. It is expected that the audit report that calculates our energy project will meet the stipulated guarantee benchmarks for the 2014-2015 year. Business Office The Business Office staff of the South Middlesex Regional Vocational Technical School District continues to provide efficiencies within the daily operations. The MSBA roof project closeout was completed and included within the annual audit. New state-wide reporting software and Middlesex Retirement System was converted. The Human Resource Department conducted extensive maintenance and partnered with the financial software company to be in compliance with ACA reporting. A regional transportation and OPEB Trust Fund were established. Enrollment, Recruiting and Student Retention Keefe Regional Technical School is a school of application. Maintaining a healthy enrollment of students for our day school operation is essential for our financial support and overall operational success. The Superintendent has indicated that he believes that the quality and rigor of our school programs and the safety and culture of our school environment will lead to our success in attracting students and their families to Keefe Regional Technical School. The Superintendent has emphasized that the administration, faculty and support staff must work together to ensure that Keefe Regional Technical School continues to be recognized by our community as a career and technical school of high quality. In the fall of 2015, we enhanced our recruitment efforts to include a two hour showcase visit for all 1800 8th grade students from the public schools in our district. 206 The enrollment on October 1, 2015 was 709 students reflecting stable enrollment as compared to the prior year. Buildings and Grounds Keefe Regional Technical School has been occupied continuously since September 1973. The facility is used not only during the school day and year but also evenings, weekends and during the summer months. An extensive upgrade of the energy systems (HVAC and lighting), completed in 2007, has resulted in the replacement of major mechanical components controlled by a comprehensive energy management system. The project has resulted in a significant reduction in total utility expenditures. Facility upgrades that were completed in 2015 include replacement of all student cafeteria tables and chairs, extensive HVAC and electrical upgrades, replacement of furniture and equipment in several classrooms and CTE Programs (grant funds), creation of a lactation space compliant with US Department of Labor regulations, replacement of all exterior lighting fixtures with high output, energy efficient LED components, completion of several large-scale repair and painting projects, renovation of unused classroom space for a new art class elective, the addition of six cameras and a sixteen channel DVR to the existing surveillance system, an independent review and downsizing of the Library/Resource Center collection to allow for planned renovation and the addition of twenty four paved parking lot spaces. Vehicles purchased in 2015 include a Ford F-250 pickup with plow attachment, a Kubota tractor and utility trailer for the Horticulture Program/Grounds Maintenance Department and a 14 passenger Ford minibus. Facility projects identified for future consideration include replacing suspended ceiling systems, renovating the Resource Center, repairing and sealing the parking lot, repairing/updating the auditorium lighting system, replacing the emergency generator, expanding the surveillance system, sealing metal walls and window frames, pressure washing and sealing the exterior building concrete and renovating areas of the building to create a pottery studio and a music room. Student Achievement The District received from the DESE its annual report detailing Keefe’s 2015 Accountability Data. Compared to last year, the number of students in the Advanced and Proficient categories increased in both English Language Arts and Math. As a result of the increase in student performance and other indicators, Keefe Technical School was informed that according to the 5- level scaling systems created by the DESE under the accountability and assistance levels, Keefe has been categorized as a Level 1 school. This rating recognizes the steady progress Keefe is making concerning the educational achievement of the students. On Wednesday February 25th, 2015, 704 students competed in the SkillsUSA District Competition held at Keefe Regional Technical School. Of the competitors, 96 were from Keefe Regional Technical School. Keefe earned 8 Gold, 12 Silver and 6 Bronze medals. On May 1st, at the SkillsUSA State Competition held at Blackstone Valley Technical School in Upton, MA, our 20 competitors earned 5 Gold Medals. 207 The National SkillsUSA Conference was held in Louisville, KY on June 25th. Of the 5 competitors, 1 received the Bronze Medal in the Nursing Assistant competition. General Advisory Board The General Advisory Board consists of the Chair of each Vocational Advisory Board. The General Board summarizes and brings to the attention of the Administration and the School Committee observations and recommendations of the advisory boards. The points noted for the current year include: the need to continually align the curriculum with changes in technology; outreach to bring Keefe’s program to potential students; increasing opportunities for students and employers in the co-op program and the success we have had for employment; successful pursuit of grant funding for state of the art career and technical equipment; and maintaining the license status of student professional programs that advance Keefe students’ career and technical entry opportunities. New School Committee Member In May of 2015, after 15 years of dedicated service representing the Town of Framingham, Mr. Nelson Goldin retired from the School Committee. Myra Bushell has been elected as Framingham’s new representative.

Mulvey John Evans Larry Cooper Myra Bushell HOPKINTON Mia Crandall Ruth Knowles HOLLISTON Sarah Commerford Barry Sims NATICK Tassos Filledes Dr. Stephen Kane 208 SUSTAINABLE GREEN COMMITTEE Chairman, Laura Connolly Secretary, Aubrey Doyle Treasurer, Mark Stephen Mission Statement: The mission of the Hopkinton Sustainable Green Committee is to promote sustainable and environmentally responsible practices on the Town of Hopkinton. The Committee will assist town government, businesses and residents to implement sustainable policies and practices in the areas of energy, agriculture, conservation and commerce. The Committee will increase the public’s awareness of important environmental issues through education and outreach. By fostering environmentally friendly practices in Hopkinton, the Committee aims to enhance the quality of life for our residents, visitors and future generations. In 2015 the HSGC accomplished the following: • Sixth Annual Green Up Day. A town-wide event with participation by local organizations and residents. The event was coordinated with the help of the HPD, Hopkinton Public Schools, Harvey’s and resulted in several tons of trash being collected. Shred Day was also coordinated with Green Up day. • Continued regular communication with DPW as it relates to increasing recycling efforts, single stream recycling and additional green practices and cost savings throughout the year. • Good progress on clean-up of areas around Hopkins, Middle School and High School, including loop road. • Plan to add recycling on Town Common developed and presented to Historical Society for their approval. • Provided letter to Board of Selectman supporting control of weeds in Lake Maspenock but ensuring all options have been vetted, including cost analysis. • Supported efforts in development of Trails, including Master Plan. • Supported Town Engineer in kickoff of Streetlight LED Retrofit Project. Goals for 2016: • Support Town Engineer in Various Projects, including: o Conversion of Streetlights to LED’s o Town Facility Energy Audits/Updates, including Addition of Energy Management Systems o Purchase of Electric Vehicle via Grants o Purchase of Additional Electric Vehicle Charging Station via Grants o Power Purchase Agreement for Off-site Solar Station • Continue to drive and support School Recycling enhancements • Enhance public transportation, walking trail enhancements and school bus parking TAX RELIEF FUND COMMITTEE The Hopkinton Tax Relief Fund Committee oversees the Hopkinton Elderly and Disabled Tax Relief Fund. The Fund was established in 1998 to provide financial assistance to needy residents in the payment of their real estate taxes. Since its formation, tax relief distributions of 209 approximately $114,000 have been made. The Fund is supported solely by donations from generous Hopkinton residents and organizations. In 2015 and going into 2016, we do not have sufficient funds to make awards to citizens in need. Our committee does not have a budget for soliciting funds through direct mailings. The Fund was established under General Law Chapter 60, Section 3D. The law allows the town to include a request for contributions with mailed real estate tax bills. Residents who paid their taxes from escrowed funds often did not see this donation request, but enough people did to keep the Fund solvent. This worked well from the late 1990s until a few years ago. At first, the donation forms were included with quarterly tax bills. Then bills were only mailed twice a year. This had an impact on the Fund balance. Then in recent years, tax bills have been sent by email, and posted and often paid online. Without a specific reminder to donate to the Fund, contributions have slowed to a trickle. This year, the town assigned the committee two charity bib numbers for the Boston Marathon. The funds raised by these runners will help us replenish the fund and reach out to more residents who need help. We are also appealing to the town through letters to the newspapers, requests to several businesses, and in our annual report and website page. Donations are always needed and would be gratefully accepted. The typical donation has been between $10 and $25. Checks should be made payable to the Town of Hopkinton, Elderly and Disabled Tax Relief Fund and forwarded to the Town Treasurer or contributions can be made at the Town Government online tax payment website. Respectfully submitted, Nancy Haines, chairman Committee Members: Nancy Haines, chairman Maureen Dwinnell Pat Kuehne John Palmer John Duffy TOWN CLERK I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the residents of Hopkinton for their support and confidence in me during the past year and for all of the 20 years served in working for this community. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you. I hope this report will provide a glimpse of the Town Clerk’s Office’s accomplishments for 2015. Staying current: In an effort to best serve the taxpayers, staying current on the complexities and demands of running a professional Town Clerk’s office is essential. It is necessary to keep active membership, network with peers, and attend conferences sponsored throughout the year. The Massachusetts Association of City and Town Clerks, New England Association of City and Town Clerks, and International Institute of Municipal Clerks provide training and resource opportunities. Attending conferences are important to prepare for State and Town elections, and to advance our knowledge, as Town and/or City Clerks, of the current federal, state and local 210 mandates. The information acquired from various Town and City Clerk’s Associations is immeasurable. 2015 Annual Town Meeting and Town and State Elections: I am thankful for our outstanding election staff. Our election process maintains its professionalism with their dedicated service to this community. The election staff assisted with the March 3, 2015 Special Town Meeting and March 10, 2015 Special Town Election, along with the May 4, 2015 Annual Town Meeting and the May 18, 2015 Annual Town Election; and ending in October. The results of these Town Meetings, are available in this 2015 Annual Town Report. Voter Registration Programs at Local Schools: In April, the Assistant Town Clerk and I met with students at Joseph P. Keefe Regional Technical High School in Framingham to present a voter registration program. After the session, the students in attendance registered to vote. We have been invited back from the School’s Guidance Department to present another voter’s registration session to students in April 2016. Educational Programs After meeting with the Elmwood School Principal, Mr. Alan Keller, it was agreed to with much enthusiasm to hold a “mock” election with the second grade class to vote for the 2016 dog tag shape and, secondly, to vote to choose the theme of the “buddy” bench. I, along with Representative Carolyn Dykema, met with each 2nd grade class and classroom teacher before they enter the “election hall” a.k.a. the cafeteria to sign in, pick-up their ballot, and vote at an election booth before signing out and then placing their ballot in the Town of Hopkinton’s ballot machine, an old fashion cranking election machine that was restored specifically for this and future events. We had appointed election clerks available at this event, along with two interns in the Town Clerk’s Office assisting with this event. Each student received an “I voted” sticker once they placed their ballot in the ballot machine. The students were very enthusiastic about this event, along with their teachers, school staff and principal. You’ll see the 2016 dog tag in the shape of a bone that our office will begin issuing mid-December, along with the buddy bench in the shape of a gorilla. Way to go 2nd grade class! We are proud of you for exercising your right to first “registering to vote”; and secondly, voting on that Election Day! We are hopeful to continue bringing election education into all Hopkinton schools with the support of the School Department. List a/k/a Street Census: The Street Listing a/k/a Street Census is a year-long endeavor beginning with the preparation in the fall months with a goal to mail them to all households in January 2016. Once the street listing form is received back from the household, this office then processes all changes in the Voter Registration Information System (VRIS) program in our office’s State computer. This office records the family members who are living at an address and those members who have moved out of town. It also important to note that the census form does not register a resident as a voter. If a resident wishes to register to vote or change party affiliation, they must fill out a voter registration form and file it with the Town Clerk. Registration forms are available on the Town Clerk’s page under the town’s website at www.hopkintonma.gov. It is a State requirement that if a voter fails to respond to the yearly census, it will cause them to be listed as an “inactive voter’. The voter would then need to show proof of continuous residents in Hopkinton, in order to reactivate their voting status. If a resident who was registered to vote has moved out of town, this office cannot remove a voter without their signature. We make every effort to contact them to obtain their signature verifying that they no longer live in town. 211 Please contact this office with any questions regarding the voting process or the yearly street listing. Dog License Renewals: Dog license renewal forms are attached to the Street Listing Form. The staff processes and sends out dog licenses between January and March without penalty. Dog licenses are issued only with proof of the dog receiving a rabies shot, in accordance with provisions of Sec. 147A of Chapter 140 of the Massachusetts General Law. In 2015 the Town Clerk’s Office issued almost 2,000 dog licenses along with seven (7) kennels (a kennel is issued to a dog owner if they have four (4) or more dogs). Among the seven kennels, a kennel license was issued to BayPath Humane Society located on Cedar Street and the Greyhound Friends Inc. kennel located on Saddle Hill Road. Open Meeting Law: As Hopkinton’s Chief Election Officer, the Town Clerk has the responsibility of ensuring that the Open Meeting Law is observed with the posting of all town meeting agendas at least 48 hours prior to the meeting. The notice of the public meeting is required to be posted at two locations available to the public, one of which has to be accessible to the public 24 hours a day. This is achieved through the acceptance by the Board of Selectmen of Town meeting postings on the Town’s website. The Town Clerk’s binder located outside of the Town Clerk’s Office serves as the secondary location. Ethics & Conflict of Interest: The conflict of interest law seeks to prevent conflicts between private interest and public duties, foster integrity in public service, and promote the public’s trust and confidence in that service by placing certain restrictions on what municipal employees can do on the job, after hours, and after leaving public service. Oath of Office: Upon election or appointment to a Town office, board, committee and/or commission, the individual must be administered the oath of office i.e., sworn in to serve at the Town Clerk’s Office, before participating in a meeting requiring a vote. The State’s Open Meeting Law is distributed to the appointee at the time of their oath of office. D/B/A, Underground Storage Tank Licenses, Raffle Permits: In 2015 the Town Clerk’s Office renewed 37 and issued 48 new business (D/B/A) licenses. The office also issues underground storage tanks, and raffle permits. Preservation of Town Documents: This office was granted funding of $15,000 through the Community Preservation Fund which was used to preserve Town Report documents in the Town Clerk’s vault some dating back to the late 1800’s. In conjunction with the IT Department, all Town Reports which are now accessible on Hopkinton’s website www.hopkinton.gov. Archival Program: The Town Clerk’s Office is responsible for maintaining public records under the State’s retention program, and obtained King Information Systems to create and complete an archival program for Town Hall departments. The archival program helps to maintain records that are required to be kept under the State’s Municipal Records Retention Program (MGL c. 4, sec. 7 (26). 212 Zoning and General Bylaws: This office continues to update and codify the zoning and general bylaws rather than outsourcing it to another; thereby, realizing a savings of approximately $5,000. Message From the Town Clerk: The “Message From the Town Clerk” column has been printed in the Hopkinton Independent. This is a way to communicate to residents about the various activities, projects and general information including elections and the various responsibilities and projects that this office is charged. Register of Vital Statistics: Below is a report of the Town’s Register of Vital statistics as of December 31, 2015: Births 126 Marriage Intentions 50 Marriages 52 Deaths 90 I would be amiss if I did not publicly express my gratitude and thanks to Brenda McCann, Assistant Town Clerk, for her skills, professionalism and knowledge in public administration. I have every confidence in her to handle all Town Clerk business. It is this office’s goal to continue excellent communication and assistance to residents through our webpage including the town by-laws, town meeting and election results, voter information and various on-line forms. You are welcome you to stop by the office for assistance. Respectfully submitted, Geri Holland Your Town Clerk TREASURER/COLLECTOR Maureen Dwinnell retired December 31, 2015, after over 26 years working as the Treasurer in Hopkinton. During her tenure, she will be best remembered for obtaining the Town’s AAA bond rating due to the Town’s fiscal discipline. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the office staff, which consists of Christina Boyan, Payroll Manager, and Finance Administrative Assistants Mary Shirley and Stuart Carter, the latter who we share with the Assessor’s office. At the end of 2015, our Water and Sewer billing had been converted to Munis Software, our integrated financial package. We have been processing payroll in house using Munis since April 2014. A number of our modules are now fully integrated. This integration reduces redundancy between Treasurer, Assessor, Accounting, Water and Sewer Department, and Human Resources. 213 Residents can check their current Real Estate, Personal Property and now Water and Sewer bills and pay them using Unibank’s Citizen’s Self Service. Motor Vehicle bills can be paid through Unibank’s Unipay Gold Service. The Treasurer/Collector’s office is responsible for collecting monies and for safely investing funds at the highest possible rate with institutions that are on the State’s legal list. This office has collected or processed over $80 million in FY 2015. I would like to wish Hopkinton a wonderful 300th Anniversary! Respectfully submitted, Diane Hendrickson Assistant Treasurer THE UPPER CHARLES TRAIL COMMITTEE The Upper Charles Trail Committee is charged with developing the Upper Charles Trail in Hopkinton, from the Milford Town line to the Ashland Town line, which shall include the Hopkinton Center Trail. The Committee’s responsibilities shall include, but shall not be limited to, planning, design, permitting, property rights acquisition and construction of the Trail and associated infrastructure. The Committee shall identify, apply for and receive any State, Federal or private grants which may become available for the accomplishment of its mission. The Committee may request and advocate for Community Preservation Act funds. The Committee shall also consider whether to establish a Friends of the Hopkinton Upper Charles Trail 501(c) (3) non-profit organization which will incorporate and encourage citizen involvement, work cooperatively with citizens and the Town to promote the proper use and care of the Trail, raise and expend funds for maintenance and improvements, and oversee the Trail and report improper uses. At last year’s town meeting, voters approved purchase of the Wyckoff parcel, which constitute a section of the rail-bed between the Milford town line and the center of Hopkinton. A master plan for development of the trail system was prepared by the Conway School of Design. A major feature of this plan was the recommendation for two-way bike lanes on the south side of Main Street between the town common and the Center Trail. Designs are currently in progress by town officials and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to determine the feasibility of this option. In conjunction with the Hopkinton Center for the Arts, the UCTC sponsored Arts on the Trail in August and September, 2015 as part of Hopkinton’s 300th anniversary celebration, which brought many members of the public to the Center Trail. Because town meeting in May, 2015 also approved acquisition of two large parcels east of Hayden Rowe for the new elementary school, the Upper Charles Trail has worked to ensure that a spur to this school would be incorporated into the Upper Charles Trail System as part of Phase I. Beyond this, exact routes to connect between any of the existing segments to make a continuous trail have not been established. Plans for the future include funding to develop a trail similar to the Center Trail on the Hughes property on Hayden Rowe using CPC funds. Current plans envision a dog park on this parcel to be developed in conjunction with Parks and Recreation. UCTC is also asking town manager Norman Khumalo to negotiate for the town to buy a parcel on East Main Street south of the proposed athletic fields for Legacy Farms North. Major goals continue to be the establishment 214 of a Friends of the Hopkinton Upper Charles Trail, and better delineation of connections between the existing segments of the trail system. We anticipate significant progress in this regard particularly in Legacy Farms North, and also in mapping out potential trail routes proceeding east form the Center School towards Legacy farms South. Respectfully submitted, The Upper Charles Trail Committee VETERANS CELEBRATION COMMITTEE The Veterans Celebration Committee organizes, plans, and coordinates the annual Memorial Day parade and related activities. We work with Hopkinton’s American Legion Post 202 and other organizations in town, to provide a reverent and appropriate acknowledgement of this important holiday. Memorial Day activities begin at Evergreen Cemetery in Woodville at 9:45 AM. Following the ceremonies at that location, all the participants travel to the corner of Main and Mayhew Streets and form a parade that travels through the cemeteries in the center of town, pausing at times to remember those veterans buried there. Local veterans and their families are encouraged to participate either by marching in the parade, or by joining the citizens of Hopkinton on the common for the conclusion of the program. The committee also organizes a Veterans’ Appreciation Dinner on Veterans Day each year, inviting all veterans with Hopkinton ties, to a home-cooked meal prepared and served by volunteers. Again this past year, this event was held at the Woodville Rod and Gun Club. The committee is very grateful and thanks the Gun Club for their hospitality and generosity. Our local TAPS vigil continues every first Sunday of the month at 7:00 PM, and is held no matter what the weather, at the Senior Center during the winter months, and at the Gazebo the rest of the year. The committee is appointed by the Board of Selectmen and includes Colleen Charleston, Jim Mirable, Judi Regan, Nancy Drawe, Sarah Whalen, and Mike Whalen. Respectfully submitted, Michael Whelan VETERANS SERVICES DEPARTMENT Veterans’ Services Departments are mandated by State law to be maintained in all communities of the Commonwealth for the sole purpose of assisting Veterans and their dependents in receiving Federal, State, and local benefits made available by the US Government and by the Commonwealth. In 2014 additional Legislation was passed that required Veterans Agents in these Departments be Certified by the Massachusetts Department of Veterans Services (DVS). The Towns of Medway, Hopkinton, Holliston and Ashland are members of the MetroWest Veterans’ Services District, which is overseen by a Board of Directors. Each Communities Board of Selectman appoints a representative to this board. A chairman is selected by the members of the board. The district operates 5 days a week primarily from a central office located in Holliston. For ease 215 of access, satellite offices are maintained in each community. We have provided home visits to those veterans or their widows who have limited mobility. In addition, as a community service, we continue to provide assistance to family members who may reside in the district, but the veteran or widow resides out of the district, and in some cases out of the state. Our mission is to advocate on behalf of the Veteran and their eligible dependents in providing information and assistance in obtaining earned benefits and entitlements from Federal, State and local agencies.  As the Burial Agent for each community, we insure for the proper interment of veterans and work closely with each community’s Graves Officer to insure compliance with applicable general laws, regulations and policies. Our Top Priorities: • Provide top quality support services • Work closely with each municipality on issues that pertain to veteran's • Provide direct financial assistance to those veterans and their dependents that are in need On-going goals: • Consolidation of veterans records to one location • Maximize the use of electronic media where practical and feasible • Conduct or participate in local outreach events In March of this year we hired a new Veterans Agent and with the Boards approval, increased the hours from 7 to 15 hours a week, which allowed for Case Management. Sarah Bateman, our new Veterans Agent is the primary point of contact for Ashland and Hopkinton. In August, the Town of Holliston acquired an office building to house two of their departments. The district was offered much needed office space to consolidate its operations to one location. In September the main offices moved to 1750 Washington Street in Holliston. This new location is centrally located on a major route that is accessible from all the communities. It provides ample parking, handicap access and direct access the District’s Staff. The offices allows for privacy and confidentiality when discussions turn to sensitive issues. The district still provides office hours in each community and has retained its satellite office in Ashland. In October 2015 both the Director and Agent received their Certification (as required by law) by DVS after having successfully completed (with high marks) the Veterans Benefits and Services Officer Certification Examination Course.  This year the district processed 20 requests for financial assistance under Chapter 115 M.G.L., totaling $230,715.00 in benefits paid to eligible veterans and families.   We have provided assistance in filing 31 VA Claims ranging from: service connected disabilities; pensions and Dependents Indemnity Compensation of which 23 (known) were completed by the VA. For 2015 an estimated $1,053,000.00 in VA compensation benefits had been received by veterans and widows residing in the district. In addition, we assisted numerous family members in obtaining burial benefits and grave markers for the deceased veteran. On two occasions, the grave marker received was inaccurate. We immediately contacted the VA’s National Cemetery Administration and by working closely with the family and the VA were able to obtain a new corrected marker in two weeks. These are just a few of the 216 many other veterans’ issues that we provide assistance with on a routine basis. Respectfully submitted, John T. Givner, Director, Veteran Services MetroWest Veterans Services District VETERANS’ GRAVE OFFICER The Veterans' Grave Officer is charged with the care of veteran's graves at all town cemeteries. Although the veteran's survivors, and our local cemetery departments do provide all the upkeep that is appropriate, some issues do arise. Gravestone repair and repositioning is a slow but rewarding process. A more visible duty of the grave officer is to place a small American flag at the veteran's stone or marker on Memorial Day. This annual task has been aided by many volunteers from various town organizations. I consider this project to be the most important responsibility of this office. As the new flags are placed each year, the old flags are gathered and properly destroyed. Currently over one thousand veteran's graves are flagged, with the total number increasing, on average, by about twenty per year. The selectmen appoint the Veterans’ Grave Officer to a term not to exceed five years. Respectfully submitted, Michael Whalen HOPKINTON DEPARTMENT OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES The Hopkinton Department of Weights and Measures enforces Massachusetts General Laws, town by-laws, state and local regulations relating to the accuracy of weighing and measuring devices that weigh, measure, and count commodities offered for sale to the public. This includes gas pumps, scales, oil trucks, scanners, item pricing and unit pricing (in food stores or food departments). To ensure that equity and fairness prevails in the marketplace the department enforces all laws relating to the accuracy of weighing and measuring devices used by local businesses. To accomplish this, the department inspects and seals or condemns the devices tested. Additionally the department may inspect prepackaged foods and merchandise to assure compliance with weight, measurement, and count requirements and for proper labeling as to weight, measure, and extended prices. The department investigates complaints on weighing and measuring devices not complying with legal standards. The department also investigates complaints for short measure of fire wood delivered to homes (consumers) to assure compliance with proper measurement (128 cubic feet) based on what the consumer has purchased. Oil the trucks may be inspected to assure that their meters are properly sealed and the correct fuel oil delivery slip is prepared. If violations are found based on inspections or complaints, the department may issue civil citations or engage in criminal actions. The Weights and Measures Inspector continues to serve as the Northeast Weights and Measures Region representative on the National Conference on Weights and Measures Law and Regulations Committee. These laws and regulations range from the basic weights and measures laws to specific laws and regulations for Weighmasters, commodity regulations, price scanners, unit pricing, engine fuel and automotive lubricants and more. These model laws and regulations are published annually in NIST Handbook 130, Uniform Laws and Regulations. 217 Additionally, the L&R Committee and the NCWM adopts test procedures for verifying the actual net quantity and contents contained in packages and products offered for sale . During 2015 the Hopkinton Department of Weights and Measures continued inspecting weighing and measuring devices located in the town and sealed or condemned them. A condemned device cannot legally be used in trade until it is repaired or replaced. It is marked with a red condemned tag which can only be removed by the Sealer of Weights and Measures. Also inspected were gasoline pumps, scanners, pharmacy and jewelry scales through scales in food stores to large truck scales to scales used for package weighing (FEDEX, postage, or UPS type scales). The department previously produced a video, available on HCAM, explaining what Weights and Measures does. This is available for citizen viewing. For the year 2015 sixty-nine inspections took place, eighteen devices were adjusted, and no reinspection were conducted. Over three hundred devices were inspected, adjusted, and sealed. One device not meeting legal standards was condemned. One device was not sealed as not meeting legal standards. Eight item pricing inspection were completed. Eleven Price Verification [scanning] inspections were performed and all met or exceeded the 98% accuracy standard. Five reweigh inspections were conducted to assure that items store priced and sold by weight were priced correctly. Two complaints were received and resolved. $38,250.00 was saved consumers and merchants in Hopkinton as a result of item pricing, scanning, and gas station inspections while over $17 million was saved Commonwealth wide (Division of Standards 2015 Annual Report covering all state and local inspections).. As new businesses opened in Hopkinton they were visited to educate management and assure compliance with the various laws and regulations governing weights and measures. The department of Weights and Measures will continue to meet its statutory objective by conducting required inspections and educating consumers and merchants on the importance to both of “EQUITY IN THE MARKETPLACE.” Respectfully submitted, Louis Sakin THE WOODVILLE HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION (WHDC) The Woodville Historic District Commission’s purpose is to promote the educational, cultural, economic, and general welfare of the public through the preservation and protection of the distinctive characteristics of buildings and places significant in the history of Hopkinton. The committee achieved its’ 2015 goal of informing residents of WHDC’s role and of promoting the importance of preserving the District’s’ historic quality. Every neighbor in the District was sent a personalized letter. The letter introduced Committee members and welcomed residents to the District (many do not know they are within a historic district). It then stated WHDC’s objectives, and invited residents to discuss future projects with individual Committee members. Residents were also invited to share their histories, stories and photographs on a newly-created Facebook page, “Woodville MA Historic District”. 2015 was a quiet year for WHDC, as they received no building applications. However, two residents did reach out to WHDC members with questions about the bylaws prior to considering an alteration. 218 Our goal in 2016 is to continue fostering open discussion and understanding within the community. We hope to be seen as a resource for residents. Respectfully submitted, The Woodville Historic District Commission HOPKINTON YOUTH COMMISSION Overview: Hopkinton Youth Commission was formed in 2002, and formulated its charge in 2003. In 2013, ten years later, we were asked to make a new charge and goals by Town Manager, Norman Khumalo, which was approved at the April 2, 2013 Board of Selectmen meeting. We operate under our Charge and Goals as well as our mission of advocating for youth and making Hopkinton a place where youth can thrive, not just survive. Accordingly, Hopkinton Youth Commission (HYC) works in conjunction with all Hopkinton Town Departments that interact with youth and families including but not limited to Youth Services Department, Parks and Recreation Department, Police Department and Hopkinton Public School District. Our goals are to: • Promote community education regarding youth and family issues. • Support programs and activities which raise awareness and encourage healthy adolescent development. • Collaborate with other organizations whose goals are aligned to those of HYC. • Develop recommendations for the Board of Selectmen regarding programs, projects and policies benefiting Hopkinton’s Youth and families. • Set annual goals in conjunction with Hopkinton Youth Services Department by July 1, and present them to the Board of Selectmen during the first fiscal quarter. Hopkinton Youth Commission includes a Chair, Vice-Chair, and Secretary, selected annually for the coming year, by July 1. HYC may include working groups and/or advisory groups. The numbers of members required to have a quorum will be calculated as a majority of voting members, and will not include liaisons and non-voting members of HYC. Hopkinton Youth Commission Membership includes seven voting members who are Hopkinton residents and appointed by the Board of Selectmen for three year terms. The Commission also has the following important but non-voting members: School Resource Officer and liaisons from Youth Services Department, School Committee, Parks and Recreation Department and Board of Selectmen. Ideally, HYC also has two student representatives, preferably one from Middle School and one from High School. Members are expected to attend HYC meetings and follow the rules and procedures set by the town and HYC. Many of the original HYC goals have been incorporated into town life in other ways, through the BeFree club at Hopkinton High School and through the formulation of the Youth Services Department, headed by Town Youth Services Coordinator, Jean Vazza. 2015 members include Margie Wiggin, HYC Chair, Amanda Fargiano, Secretary, Renee Dean, Julie Hamm, Jeanne Reimonn, Michelle Dineen-Jerrett, Sharon Mastrangelo. Youth Commission liaisons, Dan Terry, Parks and Rec, Molly Freshman, High School, Jean 219 Bertschmann, School Committee, Todd Cestari, Board of Selectmen, and Phil Powers, School Resource Officer, provide invaluable insight and perspective from their roles in town. We were delighted to welcome Denise McBride Hildreth, who was hired in a careful screening and interview process of several highly qualified candidates. as Youth Services Coordinator. Denise has a very full schedule working wuth yiuth and families in town and is doing an exemplary job! Denise attends our meetings, and reports on Youth Services activities and programs, which Youth Commission supports, as needed, as part of our charge and goals. HYC has a mutually beneficial, collaborative relationship with Youth and Family Services and Denise Hildreth. Hopkinton Youth Commission activities included planning and carrying out a very successful 10th annual Martin Luther King Day of Giving Back weekend, which included a wonderful MLK Saturday Song Circle at the newly renovated Arts Center, courtesy of the Arts Center, and a Day of Service on Monday - MLK Day with over 300 youth participating in the meaningful talk on the benefits of Empathy and Giving Service by Dr Arthur Ciarimicoli, followed by service activities in the Brown Gym. HYC also supported several BeFree events and parent coffees, a Middle School Spring Jam and an early release concert at the Hopkinton Common Gazebo. Collaborations with Hopkinton Schools Wellness Department included several programs for youth at the high and middle schools. Respectfully submitted, Margaret Wiggin Hopkinton Youth Commission Chair HOPKINTON YOUTH AND FAMILY SERVICES Hopkinton Youth and Family Services re-opened as a Town Department in June of 2015. Since that time, there has been an overwhelming, positive community response to the availability of free, high quality services to the children, youth and families of Hopkinton. As a vehicle to promote and enhance family health and well-being, the department works collaboratively with the Hopkinton Youth Commission and has become an essential town service, bridging a gap with other town departments and providing families with a place to turn for multiple forms of support, including parent consultation, crisis intervention, information and referral, short-term individual, group, and family counseling, and community education, programs and activities. In addition, the department has become a crucial community partner to other town departments and programs, offering consultation and opportunities for joint programs that had not existed before. Since June, the department has provided direct services to over 100 families facing a variety of challenges, including separation and divorce, serious illness, financial hardships, grief and loss, and addiction. Countless other families have been served through community-wide educational and supportive programs on a variety of topics. In addition to these services and supports, Youth and Family Services also secured, on behalf of the town, a $100,000 grant through the Massachusetts Bureau of Substance Abuse Services to fund a one-year community substance abuse prevention initiative. These funds are being used in three main priority areas: Coalition Building, Education/Prevention, and Access to Treatment. As a starting point for this work, a new substance abuse prevention coalition, Hopkinton Organizing for Prevention (HOP), was formed to bring together key stakeholders from across our community. In addition, the department has participated in bringing essential educational programming on substance abuse and addiction to the community. Also as part of the grant, Hopkinton residents have had access 220 to a variety of resources and supports including free access to Narcan (the medication used to reverse an opioid overdose) and linkages to treatment and support for addiction and recovery. HOPKINTON 300th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION COMMITTEE The 300th Anniversary Celebration year in Hopkinton has been a truly wonderful celebration. There have been more than 40 events during the year related to Hopkinton’s history, and to this special moment in time. We were honored to start off our year with a feature on Chronicle and proud to welcome the Lieutenant Governor to our Opening Ceremony. We met our first baby, Lyla Hendrick, and celebrated our oldest resident, Sterling Hager. We were educated by a dozen historical lectures; entertained by three theatrical productions; and celebrated the arts through poetry and photography. We explored the nooks and crannies of the town through our summer long Scavenger Hunt, and celebrated notable alumni at the inaugural Top of the Hill event at the High School. Owners of some of our historic homes welcomed us in the Historic Home and Garden Tour and we tested our skills at a Woodman’s Show and competition. We were able to retrieve and open two time capsules from the cornerstone of the former First Congregational Church, one from 1882 and one from 1939. The capstone weekend of our year was September 11-13, when we threw the switch on the refurbished Claflin Fountain, hosted a community picnic and fireworks show for 10,000 residents, and hosted a wonderful parade which drew thousands to the downtown area. The community pride and camaraderie sparked by these events has been unparalleled. Life is good in Hopkinton in 2015. Our population of 16,500 is growing rapidly, but there is still a quintessential small town feel and deep sense of connection to the town. Our school system is the primary reason people move to Hopkinton and we are regularly rated as one of the top performing districts locally, regionally, and nationally. 2015 marked many major milestones: the Library celebrated its 120th birthday, and is beginning a renovation to expand to fit the needs of our growing town; the DPW is building a new facility; and a new elementary school has been approved for our PreK-1 students. The Center for the Arts opened this fall and was funded entirely through private donations and grants as a result of a $2M campaign. New homes and businesses are being established on both ends of town, and the town is growing both in population and diversity. The highlight of every year is the start of the Boston Marathon. It is an honor to be home to the start line, and the Marathon is a great point of community pride and engagement. The town welcomes 35,000 runners from all over the world, including dozens of residents who run the race for local charities. Hundreds of residents volunteer to facilitate the race logistics. To commemorate our tercentennial year, we have left several gifts to the town. In the center of the Gazebo is a granite marker noting the 300th Anniversary of the town. The granite used was recovered from the base of the original gazebo. A unique, hand crafted bench made from a tree cut and milled locally will house Time Capsules and be “hidden in plain view” in the newly renovated Library when it opens. Our “Dear Hopkinton” photo project captured hundreds of residents who have left a message to the future about what they love most about Hopkinton. The final composition will be on display for the town to enjoy. A quilt depicting how the town boundaries, industries and population has changed over the course of 300 years is being created by local quilters and will hang proudly in the Historical Society building. The walls of Town Hall are home to two aerial photos taken via drone at the fireworks event. And finally, we enthusiastically supported the work of the Parks and Recreation Department to facilitate the restoration of the beautiful Claflin Fountain, and hope that residents will continue to enjoy the gently cascading waters as the perfect background to time spent on the Common. 221 None of these events and activities would have been possible without the support of hundreds of community volunteers, community organizations, and other boards and committees. In particular, we are grateful to the Board of Selectmen and Town Manager’s office for their support, particularly Jamie Hellen and Maria Glynn. We enjoyed a wonderful partnership with the Friends of Hopkinton Anniversaries Committee, chaired by Ann Click, who facilitated the parade, the Woodsman’s show, all merchandise sales, and many other events. Colella’s Market provided invaluable support to the Friends Committee, as well as to our Committee. We would also like to thank our sponsors for their tremendous financial donations: EMC; CVS; Legacy Farms; Marathon Fund Committee; Paul Phipps Insurance; Perkin Elmer; 26.2 Foundation; E.L. Harvey and Sons; Faith Community Church; McIntyre Loam; Scott’s Landscaping; Solect; Unibank; Crosspoint; Gassett Building; Gorman, Richardson, Lewis; Hopkinton Independent; Jamie Oil; Metrowest YMCA; Middlesex Savings Bank; Mirick O’Connell; New England Money Handling; Price Chopper; The Richmond Group; Webster First Credit Union; Yogurt Beach; Blackstone Valley Wealth Management; Carbone’s; and Weston Nurseries. The anniversary having been well and duly celebrated, we close the chapter on this century and look ahead to the next with wonder and anticipation. Our hope is that residents will continue to build upon the foundations and strengths of those who came before, that the town will continue to thrive, and that Hopkinton will remain a close knit and supportive family centered community filled with the same deep pride and loyalty of the previous generations. Happy Anniversary!
