Annual Report
January 1, 2015 - December 31, 2015
Framingham’s Town Seal: In the year 1900, the Framingham Town Seal was redesigned
for the Town’s bicentennial to recognize the community’s prominence in education and
transportation. The Framingham State Normal School, a free public school and the first of
its kind in America, is represented by the structure at the top of the design. Governor
Danforth, the founder of Framingham and owner of much of its land, is acknowledged by
the words “Danforth’s Farms 1662” on the shield in the center. The wheel with spokes
drawn as tracks radiating in six different directions represents the steam and electric railroads
and signifies the Town’s position as a transportation hub. Surrounding the words “Town of
Framingham Incorporated 1700” is an illustrative border of straw braid, which honors the
prominent role Framingham played in the manufacture of hats and bonnets in the 1800s.

During 2015, the Board of Selectmen
oversaw a number of projects that
involved cleaning up hazardous sites
throughout town. The Board reached
agreement with Ellingwood Construction
Company to phase out their asphalt
storage and grinding operation at the end
of Meadow Street, adjacent to the new
Danforth Green housing development.
Work started on removal of
contamination at Dennison Park on
Beaver Street. The area was owned and
used by Dennison Manufacturing many
years ago as a dump site. The Town
negotiated an agreement with Dennison
to share efforts and costs to clean up the
area. Testing has been ongoing in
conjunction with Mass DEP with more
clean-up expected in 2016. The land at
350 Irving Street, owned by Eversource is
also on track to be cleaned up. Testing
and agreements were completed during
the year and it is expected that the
contamination will be cleaned up during
2016.

General Government 1
The energy improvements contract
whereby many town-owned facilities will
be upgraded with energy saving
equipment was finalized and work began
in the later part of the year. One of the
first projects was the replacement of
streetlights with LED lights. Part of the
energy saving contract also provides for
new electrical upgrades at the main library.
Unfortunately, a major electrical fire took
place soon after work began. The fire
caused the library to be shut down for an
indefinite period while the mishap was
investigated. Repairs have begun and will
be completed by mid-2016.
During the summer and early fall, the
Board reviewed proposals for medical
marijuana dispensaries in town. At the end
of the process, three companies were
selected to get letters of support. It is
anticipated that they will open sometime
in 2016 once they obtain their state
approvals.
As a result of Town Meeting support, a
skate park advisory committee was
established. Two members of the Board
of Selectmen were appointed to the
committee which met throughout the
remainder of the year. The committee
expects to submit its recommendation to
the 2016 Annual Town Meeting. The 2015
Town Meeting also approved a significant
zoning amendment for the downtown
area in conjunction with Transit Oriented
Development. This was the result of a
successful collaboration between the
Board of Selectmen and the Planning
Board. In other action, Town Meeting
supported a tax agreement negotiated by
the Selectmen for the relocation and
expansion of Jack’s Abby brewery.
Completion of the state-funded
replacement of the Central Street Bridge
was delayed beyond the expected 2015
completion date. A mid-2016 opening is
now anticipated.
Additional sections of the MWRA
aqueduct were opened during the year as
was the reconstructed “banana” parking
lot adjacent to the commuter rail station.
The Board of Selectmen and
administration successfully negotiated a
major change in employee health plans
with the Public Employees Committee
(PEC). The resulting shift to the Group
Insurance Commission (GIC) will save
the town an estimated 18 million dollars
over a three year period.
On a very sunny July 24, FOX 25 News
visited Framingham with a ZIP Trip that
celebrated the many great qualities and
features of Framingham. This summer
highlight also honored Framingham’s
Charlie Rousseau as our Citizen of the
Year.

TOWN MANAGER
Memorial Building, Room 121 | 508-532-5400 | Town.manager@framinghamma.gov
I am pleased to present my annual report
as Town Manager for calendar year 2015.
One cannot hardly begin to recap that
year without starting with the record-
breaking amounts of snowfall and frigid
weather that held us all captive through
the end of late January and most of
February. The term “polar vortex” crept
into our lexicon and by the time it
released its grip on New England had
dropped a record 111 inches of snow and
school cancellations. It was a marathon
that tested the endurance of most of our
municipal workforce – particularly our
DPW, Parks and Recreation, municipal
and school Facilities Management and
Police and Fire personnel. Heartfelt
thanks to all of them!
The Fall Special Town Meeting capped
off a three-year planning, education and
consensus building effort to rewrite our
Central Business zoning in Downtown
Framingham in pursuit of a high-density,
residential/mixed use development vision
based on the principles of Transit
Oriented Development (TOD) and urban
walkability with a five- to ten-minute walk
of the heavily-used commuter rail station.
The new zoning, which was
overwhelmingly adopted by Town
Meeting 116 to 10, removed many of the
barriers to density that were present in the
former zoning; adopted a more suitable
parking requirement reflecting the
experience of other downtown areas
developed along TOD principles; and
lastly, creating a much higher degree of
certainty in terms of permitting.
The new zoning allows for higher building
heights in the urban core to create more
critical mass and pedestrian vitality in the
center of downtown and creates a clear set
of design standards (with visual examples)
that make it clear exactly what the
community is looking for in terms of an
urban design. We have a high degree of
confidence that this new zoning will
position our struggling downtown area for
significant private investment in housing,
retail and office development and
establish our downtown as a logical urban
center for the larger MetroWest region of
greater Boston.
The downtown Central Business
district/TOD zoning amendments
referred to above would not have been
possible without a high level of
collaboration and support by our elected
Board of Selectmen and Planning Board
who co-sponsored the amendments at
Town Meeting. Similarly, the two elected
boards have collaborated for more than
two (2) years on a sweeping review of the
confusing and hard-to-interpret
Framingham Zoning Bylaw.
The zoning bylaw, amended many, many
times over its nearly seventy-year history,
had become increasingly complex,
inconsistent and impossible for all but a
handful of legal or technical experts to
interpret and understand. 2015 saw the
second year of a three-year effort to
recodify and clarify the bylaw so that all
could understand what it meant and
required of builders and developers. By
removing inconsistencies and conflicting
provisions, as well as articulating
provisions more clearly, the revised bylaw
is a much clearer statement of what the
Framingham community wants by way of
development and growth. The two
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
General Government 3
boards should be proud of the results of
this collaborative effort.
By the close of 2015, the Board of
Selectmen, Town Manager and Chief
Financial Officer put in place the second
fiscal year piece of a three-year Budget
Plan which sought to leverage a significant
projected savings in health insurance
savings over a three-year period to
moderate property tax increases and tax
shifting on to businesses in Framingham.
The Selectmen and staff embraced a
multiyear goal of limiting the annual
increase in the property tax levy to 1.25%
per year (instead of the maximum 2.5%
per cent allowed by state law) or to a total
three-year increase of not more than
3.75%. This goal was also expressed as
keeping the annual increase of the average
single-family residence tax bill to less than
$100 per year or $300 over three years.
We are pleased to report that we beat each
of these goals in the first two years of the
plan (FY 2015 and FY 2016) with a total
two-year property tax levy increase of
approximately 1.65%.
For the last year of the plan we are
preparing a FY 2017 assuming a property
tax levy increase of between 1.25% and
1.75%. It is the opinion of the Town
Manager and Chief Financial Officer that
a 1.75% increase levy meets the three year
goals we established in a manner that is
more financial sustainable in terms of
funding future budgets.
On the economic development front
there were two significant business
retention achievements. Boston Heart
Diagnostics is a highly-regarded medical
device company which, as a startup
company, began its business in the
Saxonville Mills complex here in
Framingham. It expanded and relocated
to the 90/9 Corporate Center where is
grew to a workforce of over 300 people.
It soon ran out of space and out of
necessity split its operations between two
buildings in that center. It considered
relocating to a nearby community but
through the aggressive intervention of the
Town’s Division of Community and
Economic Development (DCED) found
good space in Framingham and seems to
be on a path to grow to a workforce of
450 people.
The other significant achievement was the
expansion of Jack’s Abby brewing and its
decision to stay here in Framingham
where it originated. The company
expanded from just under 20,000 square
feet in its original Morton St. facility to a
65,000 square foot facility on Clinton St.,
complete with a 5,000 square foot tap
room and restaurant which has quickly
become a popular regional destination
downtown. The company was assisted
throughout its decision-making process by
Town departments including the DCED
and Planning Board and staff and was
supported its decision to remain in
Framingham by a modest property tax
agreement approved overwhelmingly by
town meeting.
A quick summary of other highlights of
2015 include:
Preparation of
Neighborhood/Village Plans for
the Nobscot, Saxonville and
Southeast Framingham areas of
town;
A major electrical fire and
resulting damage which took the
Main Branch of the Framingham
Public Library system out of
service until repairs can be made
in 2016;
Appointment of a new and
warmly received Director of
Public Health who is working with
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
General Government 4
the Board of Health to achieve
our ambitious public and
environmental health goals;
Letters of non-opposition and
community host agreements
which should lead to licensing of
one or more Registered Medical
Marijuana Dispensaries in
Framingham
Continued work to adopt and
begin implementing a long-range
municipal building plan to begin
dealing with major building
decisions which sorely need to be
addressed by the town.
I extend a sincere Thank You to the
Board of Selectmen, Town divisions
and departments as well as all of our
employees who worked so
collaboratively to make 2015 such a
successful year.
Sincerely,
Robert Halpin
Town Manager
TOWN CLERK
Memorial Building, Room 105 | 508-532-5521 | Townclerk@framinghamma.gov
The Town Clerk’s office is the focal point
and source of information for most callers
and visitors to the Memorial Building.
Framingham is the 14th most populated
municipality in Massachusetts. 68,318
residents were counted in the 2010 US
Census. 35,753 Framingham residents are
registered to vote. The presence of a
birthing hospital, numerous nursing
homes and many assisted living facilities
contribute to our substantial work load.
Assistant Town Clerk Lisa Ferguson
manages our daily operations in the Town
Clerk and Election Divisions. She trains
and supervises staff. Among many other
responsibilities, Lisa produces the Town
Meeting Journal, maintains the Town
Clerk page on the Town website, and
along with the Town Clerk administers
the qualifying oath to appointed State
officials and appointed and elected Town
officials. Lisa has earned her Certified
Municipal Clerk designation from the
International Institute of Municipal
Clerks. In the absence of the Town Clerk
the Assistant Town Clerk assumes the
authority and responsibilities of that
position.
The Town Clerk Division is responsible
for creating and preserving all the Town’s
vital records. Administrators Emily Black
Butler and Elena Finehouse registered 633
deaths and 530 marriages and issued 3,996
dog licenses and 519 business certificates
in 2015. Our revenue total was $231,271.
Other responsibilities include but are not
limited to: processing and issuing burial
permits, death certificates, marriage
licenses, marriage certificates and
underground storage tank permits;
collecting fines for the Board of Health,
Conservation Commission, Police
Department, Building and Public Works
Departments and Animal Control;
maintaining all permanent Public Way
Access permits, Zoning Board of Appeals,
Planning Board and Historic Commission
decisions and appeals; conducting
genealogy searches and issuing raffle
permits. Emily is also responsible for
processing affidavits of correction of vital
records, posting meetings and agendas
and ensuring that the 48 hour requirement
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
General Government 5
is met, recording Conflict of Interest
receipts and registering births.
As a result of the Vitals Information
Partnership (VIP) System we now receive
all births to Framingham residents
electronically. This has doubled the time
necessary for the process. In 2015, 891
births at MWMC were registered and 444
out of town births were processed for a
total of 1335 births to Framingham
residents. In October 2014, the Death
VIP system became operational. This has
significantly increased the work involved
in processing burial permits and death
certificates.
Lauren DiGiandomenico is the Election
Coordinator. The Election Division is
responsible for: conducting the Annual
Town Census and elections; maintaining
the Town’s voter/census database and its
related street listing; recording Town
Meeting votes, filing Town Meeting
original documents, preparing the
Attorney General Bylaw submissions and
posting the bylaws when they are
approved. The Annual Town Meeting met
over twelve nights in May. A Special
Town Meeting met on October 21st, 22nd
and 23rd.
In 2015, Lauren registered 2341 new
voters, deleted 1699 voters, amended the
records of 10,179 voters and processed 92
absentee ballots for the Annual Town
Election that had a 7% voter turnout.
We are grateful to many people for
assisting us in providing excellent service
to our voters. These include but are not
limited to: School Superintendents Scott
and Lynch who provide accessible voting
locations at their schools and the
principals who loan us their cafeterias,
gyms and parking spaces on election day;
James Paolini, Brent Blair and Town
Facilities Management staff, Matt Torti,
Ernie Moreau and School Building and
Grounds staff, Domenic Jannetti and
Keefe Tech Facilities staff; Reverend
Scaravelli and Pastor Don Hegeman who
generously provide St. Tarcisius and
Wesley United Methodist Parish Centers
as voting locations at no cost; the Arcade
management for providing employee
parking on election day and our election
workers who work 15+ hour days to serve
the voters.
The Board of Selectmen, Town Manager,
Town employees, Town Officials, Town
Moderator and Town Meeting Members
provide consistent support to this office;
it is a pleasure to work with them and
with all who participate in our
administration and government.
I am very grateful for the support of our
dedicated, knowledgeable Division and
Department Heads. It is a privilege to call
them my colleagues.
Finally and most importantly I thank and
commend my small dedicated staff for
their hard work, professionalism and
knowledgeable, friendly attitudes. They
exemplify the Town’s commitment to
excellent customer service.
Respectfully submitted,
Valerie Mulvey, Town Clerk

TOWN COUNSEL
Memorial Building, Room 127 | 508-532-5406 | cpetrini@framinghamma.gov
I. Introduction & Overview
Petrini & Associates, P.C. (“P&A”) is
pleased to provide the 2015 Annual
Report of the Office of the Town
Counsel. P&A operates the Office of the
Town Counsel in accordance with Article
II, Section 5 of the General Bylaws. We
represent the Town in litigation and
appear on behalf of the Town before all
courts and administrative agencies of the
Commonwealth. In addition, we serve as
a liaison and a resource to various special
counsel and insurance counsel
representing the Town in a variety of legal
matters. We also attend meetings of
boards, committees and commissions of
the Town as necessary or as requested.
P&A also drafts legal documents for
Town officials, boards and commissions
upon request, and reviews legal contracts,
deeds and agreements to which the Town

A. OFFICE OF TOWN COUNSEL CASES
MATTER TYPE 2015 STATUS/DISPOSITION
Avidia Bank, et al. v.
ZBA
Zoning This matter involved an attempt to construct a bank on the property
located at 222-236 Cochituate Road. The complaint included two
counts: an appeal from the Board of Appeals’ denial of a special
permit, and a claim that the Office and Professional Zoning District
is invalid on its face and as applied to this property. Plaintiffs claimed
that any commercially reasonable use of the property requires a
special permit, and that the zoning by-law therefore exceeded the
town’s authority. Subsequent to filing of the complaint, plaintiff
agreed to dismiss the complaint. This matter is now closed.
Bardellini v. Town of
Framingham
Probate This was a probate case involving paternity issues in which the Town
was named as party only to compel it to issue a revised birth
certificate in the event so ordered by the Court. The Town did not
actively participate in this case. Judgment was entered in this case
and this matter is now closed.
Butler v. Town of
Framingham
Declaratory/
Injunctive
This is an action seeking declaratory and injunctive relief to enjoin
the Town from “analyzing commercial and industrial values and their
subsequent assessments pursuant to ‘property income and expenses’
rather than ‘100% full and fair cash value’ to calculate the
commercial, industrial and personal property value”. It also asks that
the town be required to recalculate the 2015 tax rate and “provide an
accounting of and action plan to address both taxes wrongfully
collected and taxes due and owing as a result of a miscalculation of
taxes”. The Court allowed the Town’s motion for summary
judgment to dismiss plaintiff’s claims on February 10, 2016, ruling
that plaintiff lacks standing to pursue her claims. The plaintiff has
appealed this decision to the Massachusetts Appeals Court.
C.A.P., Inc. v ZBA Zoning
This is an appeal under G.L. c. 40A, §17 from the denial of a special
permit application for automobile storage at 350 Irving Street. The
application by C.A.P., Inc. was one of a number of applications for
350 Irving Street that were before the ZBA. The main tenant is
Landscape Depot; many sub-tenants applied for special permits. The
ZBA, based on the information presented at the public hearing,
denied the application by C.A.P., Inc. and a number of other
subtenants. C.A.P appealed to Land Court. The Land Court stayed
the case until C.A.P. obtained an attorney, and in January, 2016,
dismissed the case due to the failure of C.A.P. to obtain an attorney.

Citimortgage v. Town
of Framingham and
Matterazzo
Real Estate This is a Land Court Action for reformation of a deed brought by
Citimortgage against the record owners and mortgagors, Eugene
Matterazzo, Jr. and Nancy Matterazzo. Counsel for Citimortgage
filed and argued its Motion for Summary Judgment in 2015
requesting that the Court reform an incorrect deed description in the
deed from the Town to the Matterazzos and include this parcel in
the mortgage to be foreclosed. The Land Court denied the motion
without prejudice after noting a discrepancy in the underlying 2004
deed from the Town, and subsequently ordered that the Town be
brought into the litigation as a necessary party. Currently the parties
are working to determine the Town’s source of title.
Croft v. Conservation
Commission
Wetlands This case involves an appeal under G.L. c. 249, § 4 challenging the
Conservation Commission’s issuance of an enforcement order in
June, 2014 with respect to alleged wetlands violations on property
located at and near 0 Dartmouth Drive. In December, 2014, the
parties agreed to stay the matter for 90 days to discuss a potential
resolution of the case, along with a related District Court proceeding
through which the plaintiff sought to challenge citations issued by
the Conservation Department under G.L. c. 40, § 21D in connection
with the violations. The parties reached a global resolution of these
cases in March, 2015. This matter is now closed.
Croft v. Planning
Board
Land Use This case involves an appeal challenging the Planning Board’s July
2012 decision denying the plaintiffs’ application for endorsement of
approval not required (ANR) under the Subdivision Control Law
with respect to property located at 1147 Edmands Road. The
plaintiff filed a stipulation of dismissal and this matter is now closed.
South Middlesex
Realty Group, LLC
(successor to Paul
Croft) v. Planning
Board/Board of
Health
Land Use This matter concerns an appeal of the conditions of approval issued
by the Planning Board in a June 13, 2013 decision for Definitive
Subdivision Plan pursuant to M.G.L. c. 41, § 81M for Ford’s Hill
Estates at 43B and 45 Nixon Road, as recommended by various
letters to the Planning Board from the Board of Health. The
plaintiffs contend that the conditions of approval are unreasonable
and beyond the authority of both the Planning Board and the Board
of Health. Discovery in this case is now closed. Following a status
conference of February 17, 2016, the Court entered an order
allowing the parties until late May, 2016 to file dispositive motions.
The Town intends to file such a motion in the coming months.
DePietri v.
Conservation
Commission
Wetlands This matter involved the plaintiff’s appeal of three orders of
conditions issued by the Conservation Commission relating to
notices of intent seeking approval to construct three single family
dwellings on three parcels of property located at 29 Pleasant Street.
In August, 2015, the parties agreed to an agreement for judgment
under which the matter was remanded to the Conservation
Commission, which thereafter issued new orders of conditions
approving the project with modifications agreed to between the
parties, including changes to address concerns that the Conservation
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
General Government 19
Commission had with respect to the original orders. This matter is
now closed.
DeRosa v.
Framingham
Wage Act This case concerns a claim for unpaid wages by a member of the
Police Department for hours worked off-duty caring for the
Department’s K-9. Officer DeRosa alleges the Town failed to pay
him approximately $77,106.88 for the alleged hours worked. The
Town denies that it failed to fully compensate Officer DeRosa for
caring for the K-9. The parties recently have reached an agreement
in principle to settle this case.
Fox v. Town of
Framingham
Civil Rights This is a lawsuit filed against the Town, the School Committee and
certain School Department officials by Kevin Fox, a former
Framingham High School guidance counselor. The Complaint
consists of several statutory, constitutional and civil rights claims
against the various defendants arising from the plaintiff’s allegation
that he was retaliated against by the School officials for his objection
to their response to an alleged sexual assault on a 15 year old female
student by an 18 year old male student in or about April 2012. The
plaintiff contends that the School officials ignored or rejected his
recommendations in the aftermath of the alleged assault and then
retaliated against him over the course of several months before he
resigned in March 2013. The plaintiff amended his complaint in
June, 2014 to add the Framingham School Committee as a party. His
amended complaint seeks damages from the School Committee and
the individually named school employee defendants, including
compensatory and punitive damages, compensation for his alleged
emotional pain and suffering, interests, costs and attorneys’ fees. The
Town was dismissed as a party in the case by the Court in July 2014.
Discovery among the remaining parties concluded in 2015, and the
remaining defendants recently moved for summary judgment. A
hearing is expected to occur in spring 2015. Depending on what the
Court decides, it is possible this matter could go to trial before the
end of 2015.
Framingham
Firefighters Local
1652 JLMC Petition
Labor This matter involves the Framingham Firefighters Local 1652
petition to the Joint Labor Management Committee in connection
with the negotiation of a successor agreement between the Town
and the union. The previous agreement expired as of June 30, 2014.
The parties’ principal areas of dispute concerned wage increases,
longevity/sick leave buyback, sick leave documentation and
compensatory time, among other issues. An interest arbitration took
place in June 2015 and the panel issued an award in October 2015.
Town Meeting voted to fund this award at the Fall 2015 Special
Town Meeting. A related Superior Court case and unfair labor
practice charge was filed by the Union during the Fall 2015 Special
Town Meeting when the article regarding the award was initially
referred back to sponsor, alleging that the Town had violated the
JLMC statute and G.L. c. 150E. Once the award was funded, both
matters were voluntarily dismissed by the Union. This matter is now

closed.
Framingham Police
Officers Union &
Town of Framingham
(MUP-15-4573)
Labor This matter concerned an unfair labor practice charge alleging that
the Town violated Chapter 150E when it transferred a police officer
from the Detective Bureau to the Patrol Division. The Town denied
any violation of law. After an investigation conference held by the
Department of Labor Relations in September 2015, the Town and
the Union negotiated a settlement and were able to resolve this
matter. This matter is now closed.
Framingham Police

wage increases, work schedule, use of sick leave for FMLA,
compensatory time, sick leave documentation and complaint
handling procedures, among other issues. It is anticipated that the
JLMC in 2016 will work with the parties to mediate the dispute to
attempt to reach an agreement. If the parties cannot reach
agreement an interest arbitration will be scheduled by the JLMC.
Framingham-Franklin
LLC v. Zoning Board
of Appeals
Zoning This is an action pursuant to G.L. c. 40A, §17, appealing a decision
of the Framingham Zoning Board of Appeals, which upheld a
decision of the Town’s Building Commissioner. The Building
Commissioner had denied plaintiff Framingham-Franklin, LLC’s
request for zoning enforcement, in which plaintiff requested that the
Building Commissioner take enforcement action against the
construction of a Dunkin Donuts restaurant at 430 Franklin Street in
Framingham. The complaint neglected to name as a defendant the
owner of 430 Franklin Street, SEDE Realty, LLC, which is the real
party in interest. After the ZBA served the plaintiff with a motion to
dismiss for failure to name a necessary party, SEDE was brought in
as a defendant. Discovery is ongoing between the parties in interest.
Framingham-Franklin
LLC v. Zoning Board
of Appeals
Certiorari This case involves an action challenging the Zoning Board of
Appeals’ November, 2015 decision that denied the plaintiffs’ appeal
of a notice of violation under the Sign Bylaw and accompanying
order concerning a sign on the plaintiffs’ property. The Town filed a
motion to dismiss the complaint on estoppel and mootness grounds,
as the plaintiff had failed to timely appeal numerous previous
enforcement notices, orders and citations, and is required to remove
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
General Government 21
the signs at issue in any event by virtue of the lapse of a variance
pertaining to such sign. The Court has scheduled a hearing on the
Town’s motion for June 14, 2016.
Huntington
Properties, LLC v.
Conservation
Commission
Wetlands/
Certiorari
This case involves an appeal of a Conservation Commission order
denying a notice of intent to construct a single family home and
associated site improvements at 13 Pelham Avenue. The
Commission issued its denial orders under the Wetlands Protection
Act and the Framingham Wetlands Protection Bylaw, respectively,
on December 31, 2012. Following a hearing on the plaintiff’s
motion for judgment on the pleadings held in August, 2014, the
Court issued judgment in favor of the Conservation Commission.
The plaintiff purported to file a notice of appeal, however, the Court
has not yet docketed any appeal and to date the plaintiff has not
pursued the matter further.
McManus v.
Framingham et al.
Construction This case concerns claims by the owner of property located at 423-
425 Concord Avenue for alleged property damage from a DPW
project in or about 2012. The plaintiff brought claims against the
Town, the general contractor, P. Gioioso & Sons, Inc. (‘Gioioso”),
and the project engineer, Kleinfelder/SEA (“SEA”). The Town
tendered defense and indemnification for this claim to Gioioso, who
accepted the Town’s tender and is paying for the Town’s defense in
the case. The Town is being defended by insurance defense counsel
Pierce, Davis & Perritano. A motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s claims
on failure of presentment grounds was allowed on July 23, 2015
without prejudice to allow the plaintiff to restate her claim against
the Town. The Court recently allowed the Town’s motion for entry
of separate and final judgment. This matter will be closed, pending
any appeal.
O’Loughlin v.
Framingham et al
Civil Rights This case concerns a claim for wrongful conviction and violations of
Section 1983 against the Town and several retired and former
members of the Framingham Police Department. The plaintiff
alleges that he was arrested and ultimately convicted for a crime
which occurred in April 1982, and served approximately 3 years and
9 months in prison. At the time he appealed his conviction but it
was affirmed by the Appeals Court. Years later, another person who
had been convicted of similar crimes around the same time period
told police he was “99%” sure he had actually committed the 1982
crime, not Mr. O’Loughlin. Based on this investigation, the District
Attorney did not oppose a motion for a new trial filed by Mr.
O’Loughlin, and dismissed the charges after the motion was
allowed. This civil rights lawsuit followed. Mr. O’Loughlin contends
that the Town defendants failed to disclose evidence that would have
exonerated him. The Town denies these allegations. The Town’s
defense in this matter was recently assumed by Travelers Insurance
Company, based on a 1982 liability policy that Town Counsel was
able to locate in the Town’s records. Travelers is defending the case
under a reservation of rights, and it may contest liability if a
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
General Government 22
judgment is entered against the Town. The Town and individual
defendants are represented by insurance counsel Pierce, Davis &
Perritano, LLP. Discovery in the matter is ongoing.
Paulini Loam, LLC v.
Zoning Board of
Appeals, Land Court
Misc. Case No.
318083 KCL
Zoning This is the first of three Paulini lawsuits, and it is has been stayed by
the court pending the outcome of the third lawsuit, which will be
described below. In December of 2005, the Zoning Board of
Appeals denied Paulini Loam’s application for a special permit to
construct a concrete batching plant at 597 Old Connecticut Path. At
the time of the initial application, the property was zoned General
Manufacturing. Paulini claimed that the concrete batching plant was
allowed as of right under Section III.G.1.a of the Zoning Bylaw,
which allows “manufacturing of any description utilizing processes
free from neighborhood disturbing odors and/or other agencies” in
the General Manufacturing district. The Building Commissioner
ruled that the proposed use required a special permit under Section
III.G.2 as a use “which would be offensive because of injurious or
obnoxious noise, vibration, smoke, gas, fumes, odors, dust or other
objectionable features….” Paulini filed this appeal seeking to
overturn the ZBA’s denial of the special permit, and to obtain a
declaration from the Court that the proposed plant did not require a
special permit. There has been extensive discovery, including
depositions, in this case, but it has been stayed by the Court for
several years.
Paulini Loam LLC v.
Zoning Board of
Appeals, Land Court
Misc. Case No.
325212 KCL
Zoning This is the second of three Paulini lawsuits and has also been stayed
by the Land Court. In December of 2005, a Special Town Meeting
approved two amendments to the Zoning By-law, one of which
changed the zoning designation of the area, including 597 Old
Connecticut Path, to Office Professional, such that the proposed use
became prohibited and could not be authorized even through a
special permit. The second amendment changed the procedures and
thresholds for site plan review. Paulini filed this second lawsuit, this
time naming the town as defendant, challenging the validity of the
Zoning By-law amendments. In the meantime, Paulini filed a
definitive subdivision plan for the Property, which was approved by
the Planning Board, thereby freezing the zoning of the Property for
8 years from the date the subdivision plan was approved. As a result,
the Property is still governed by the General Manufacturing zoning
as it existed in 2005. We filed a motion for summary judgment on
behalf of the Town in this case, arguing that the two amendments
are valid as a matter of law. That motion is still pending at the Land
Court. Following the filing of this motion the parties moved to
continue the trial date in this case. This case remains pending but is
dormant like the first Paulini Loam case.
Paulini Loam, LLC v.
Zoning Board of
Appeals, Land Court
Zoning This case represents the most recent appeal filed by Paulini Loam,
LLC, appealing the Zoning Board’s 2009 decision to uphold the
Building Commissioner’s denial of a building permit for the
concrete manufacturing plant proposed to be located at 597 Old
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
General Government 23
Misc. Case No. 09
MISC 401214 KCL
Connecticut Path. Paulini’s complaint includes two counts: the first
is an appeal under G.L. c. 40A §17 of the Board’s decision, and the
second is a request for a declaratory judgment that the proposed use
of the site for a concrete manufacturing facility is allowed by right
under the Zoning Bylaw. The Board filed a motion for summary
judgment on the grounds that it is not disputed that the plans
submitted to the Building Commissioner showed a structure, within
the meaning of the Zoning Bylaw, within a required setback.
The Land Court held a nine-day trial in this matter in October and
December, 2013 and following the parties’ subsequent filing of post-
trial briefs the Court held closing arguments on July 1, 2014. The
Court issued a ruling awarding judgment to Paulini. The Town filed
an appeal thereafter, and the case is currently before the
Massachusetts Appeals Court. The Town filed its brief and appendix
due on January 27, 2016 and is awaiting Paulini’s service of its
appellee brief, which is presently due on March 31, 2016. Following
receipt of the parties’ briefs the Appeals Court likely will schedule an
oral argument for a date in 2016.
SB General
Contracting v. Town
of Framingham I
SB General
Contracting v. Town
of Framingham II
Construction These two lawsuits involved the Town and SB General Contracting,
Inc. (“SB”), the general contractor for the New York Avenue Utility
Corridor Project (“Project”), a Town public works project that was
performed primarily in 2010. The Project consisted of work on two
streets, New York Avenue and California Avenue, and principally
involved replacing existing sewer force mains with new larger
diameter force mains. In March of 2011, SB filed a suit against the
Town in Norfolk Superior Court, claiming the Town breached the
Project agreement by failing to pay SB for certain work performed
on the Project. SB alleged $341,021 in damages plus interest, which
the Town disputed. The parties attempted to resolve the matter
through voluntary mediation, but were unable to reach agreement
primarily due to the assertion against the Town in April and May of
2012 of third party claims by two private property owners and the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts alleging that asbestos-
contaminated soils from the Project site were improperly disposed in
a residential area in Milford, Massachusetts during the summer of
2010, with estimated clean-up costs in excess of $750,000. The
property owners also claimed unspecified property damages,
emotional distress and other damages.
The Town filed suit against SB in July 2012 in Middlesex Superior
Court for various claims pertaining to the asbestos dumping
issue. The parties conducted pre-trial discovery and motion practice
in that case, and obtained a court ruling that SB had a duty to defend
the Town under the applicable defense and indemnity clause agreed
to by SB in the contract documents.
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
General Government 24
The Town and SB, along with other potentially responsible parties,
also engaged in pre-suit negotiations under G.L. c. 21E, § 4A related
to the Milford site. Following mediation in August 2013, the parties
reached a resolution of both the 2011 and 2012 actions and agreed
on a cost sharing arrangement for the remediation of the Asbestos
Containing Material (ACM) soil pile, and involved the exchange of
releases between and among all of the parties. The Town’s
contributed $175,000 towards the total settlement of $975,000. This
settlement was approved by the Special Town Meeting on October
16, 2013.
The ACM soil pile was removed in 2014 by the asbestos contractor
hired by the parties pursuant to the settlement agreement, and a
certificate of compliance for the site was issued by MassDEP in
September 2014. The Commonwealth has threatened to seek civil
fines against the Town and the other parties for various statutory
violations pertaining to the improper soil disposal. Negotiations
with the Attorney General’s Office to try to resolve the alleged
statutory violations without litigation are ongoing. If any fines are
issued by the Commonwealth, the Town expects such fines to be
minimal insofar as the parties cooperated and exercised good faith in
coming to an agreement to clean up the ACM soil pile. If fines are
issued, the settlement agreement provides that each party, including
the Town, shall bear responsibility for paying its own fines.
Talmo v. Zoning
Board of Appeals
Zoning/Land
Use
This case involves a request by Robert Talmo, owner of the property
at 28 Nixon Road, for zoning enforcement with respect to the
abutting property at 30 Nixon Road. Mr. Talmo alleges that a barn
on the property at 30 Nixon Road, which is in a residential zoning
district, is not in compliance with the Zoning Bylaw. This case was
tried on December 7, 2015 before Judge Speicher of the Land Court.
The Town recently filed a post-trial brief and request for findings
and rulings and is awaiting a decision from the Court.
Town of Framingham
v. Berkeley Assurance
Company
Contract This matter involves the Town’s claims against its insurance carrier,
Berkley Assurance Company (“Berkley”), and administrator, Verus
Underwriting Managers, LLC (“Verus”), following the defendants’
denial of coverage for defense or indemnity for the above-referenced
case of Fox v. Framingham. The denial of coverage is based on
Berkley/Verus’s contention that the Town, through the school
officials involved, was aware of circumstances that would give rise to
a claim under the policy well before the July 1, 2013 inception date
of the policy and failed to disclose the circumstances to Berkley prior
to the inception date of the policy. The Town filed its Complaint in
this matter on November 3, 2014 seeking declaratory judgment and
violation of Chapter 93A/176D against Verus/Berkley. The
defendants filed a counterclaim on December 8, 2014, which the
Town has answered. The Town recently amended the complaint to
add claims against Berkley for Berkley’s decision to not renew the
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
General Government 25
Town’s policy, which the Town contends was in retaliation for the
Town’s coverage suit. Discovery between the parties is ongoing and
is expected to continue until the fall of 2016.
Town of Framingham
& Massachusetts
Laborers’ District
Council
Labor This matter concerned a grievance arbitration over the November
2014 termination of a crossing guard for alleged misuse of sick leave.
The Union filed a grievance and petitioned the Department of Labor
Relations for arbitration. A one day arbitration hearing occurred in
May 2015, and both parties submitted post-hearing briefs in July
2015. On October 2015, the arbitrator ruled that the Town did not
have just cause to terminate but did have just cause to discipline the
employee, and reduced the discipline to a 10 day suspension. The
employee was then reinstated to Town employment with lost wages
and benefits (minus the 10 day suspension). This matter is now
closed.

B. SPECIAL COUNSEL/INSURANCE DEFENSE COUNSEL CASES
Below is a list of significant cases that presently are being handled by special counsel or
insurance defense counsel.
MATTER TYPE STATUS
Dresser v. Town of
Framingham
Civil Rights This was an action for money damages for alleged violations of the
plaintiff’s constitutional rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the
Massachusetts Civil Rights Act, and various state torts. MIIA
retained Brody, Hardoon, Perkins and Kesten to represent the
Town. The plaintiff alleged that he was falsely arrested, and that his
arrest was effectuated with excessive force. The Town denied
plaintiff’s claims and maintained that at the time of the underlying
arrest, the plaintiff served as a counselor for an agency and had the
care of three individuals with special needs. He was reported to the
police for leaving such individuals in a van while he mowed the lawn
at his home in 85-degree heat. Upon investigation by the police,
including questioning of the plaintiff and reporting parties, the
plaintiff was placed under arrest for neglect of a disabled person.
This matter was settled in July 2015 and is now closed.
Gagne v. Town of
Framingham
Discrimination
This is a Superior Court action filed against the Town by a former
employee in January, 2015 for alleged handicap discrimination under
G.L. c. 151B. This matter originally was the subject of a Charge of
Discrimination filed with the Massachusetts Commission Against
Discrimination MCAD against the Town by a former employee.
MCAD dismissed the matter with prejudice after a request for
withdrawal was filed by Gagne’s counsel shortly before the
investigative conference. The plaintiff subsequently commenced this
action in the Superior Court. The Town filed an answer on January
26, 2015. The Town is represented in this case by insurance defense
counsel Morrison Mahoney LLP. Discovery is ongoing.
Hache v. Town of
Framingham
Discrimination This matter concerned a Charge of Discrimination before the
MCAD by a former employee of the Town. The claimant alleged
that she was discriminated against on the basis of a disability in
connection with a performance review in November 2012 and a
related compensation decision. The Town denied the allegations and
contended that the claimant’s performance review was properly
based upon poor performance issues, including unproductive and
disruptive conduct. This matter was defended by insurance defense
counsel Morrison Mahoney LLP. This matter settled in May 2015
and is now closed.
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
General Government 27
Smith v. Town of
Framingham
Discrimination This matter concerned a claim by an applicant for a position in the
Callahan Senior Center that the Town discriminated against him on
the basis of his age by failing to hire him for the position. The Town
denied Mr. Smith’s claims, and contended that the reason he was not
interviewed for the position is because he did not meet the job
qualifications. Moreover, the Town offered the job to another
member of the same protected class, demonstrating that the decision
was not based on Mr. Smith’s age. The Town was defended in this
matter by insurance defense counsel Litchfield Cavo, LLP. Shortly
after the Town filed its position statement with MCAD, Mr. Smith
voluntarily dismissed his complaint. This matter is now closed.
Stamps v. Town of
Framingham, et al.
Civil Rights This case arises from the accidental shooting of Eurie Stamps on
January 5, 2011 in connection with a Framingham Police
Department SWAT Team raid, resulting in Mr. Stamps’ death. The
Middlesex District Attorney conducted an investigation and
determined that criminal charges would not issue against the officer
who fired the weapon. On October 12, 2012, Mr. Stamps’
Estate filed an action against the Town and others in the U.S.
District Court for the District of Massachusetts seeking claims for
alleged civil rights violations and wrongful death. To date the Town
has been defended in this case by MIIA, which has retained the firm
of Brody, Hardoon, Perkins and Kesten to represent the Town in
this matter. On July 1, 2014, the Town filed a motion for partial
summary judgment seeking dismissal of all counts pending against
the Town, with the exception of the Plaintiff’s claim under Count 9
for wrongful death under G.L. c. 258, § 2. The Court issued a
decision dated December 26, 2014 allowing the Town’s motion with
respect to all counts except those set forth under
Counts 2 and 3 alleging Fourth Amendment violations based on the
alleged use of excessive force. The Town appealed
the Court’s ruling. The plaintiff cross-appealed the Court’s dismissal
of the punitive damages claims against Officer Duncan. The 1st

III. Budgetary Overview
As in past years, I would like to conclude this report with a brief discussion of budgeting and
legal expenses. In 2015 this office continued its positive track record of procuring new
revenue for the General Fund or helping to avoid the imposition of additional costs to the
Town. The services provided by the Office of the Town Counsel have resulted in monetary
benefits to the Town that has resulted in direct revenue, mitigation and avoided expenses
nearly two times greater than the Town’s FY 2016 appropriation of $725,000.
Below is a chart summarizing the revenue, mitigation and avoided expenses achieved in FY
2015 by the efforts of the Office of Town Counsel working with other departments, boards
or commissions, or through the substantial assistance of this office.
A. FY 2015 Revenue, Mitigation and Avoided Expenses
Matter: Description:
Payments Received
from Ashland for
sewage transport in
FY 2015
$816,083.35
(Revenue)
Payments received in FY2015 for sewage transport under the February
13, 2004 Decision issued by the Department of Telecommunications and
Energy, and pursuant to the January 1, 2007 IMA between Ashland and
Framingham. This represents more than a 100-fold increase over what
Framingham received from 1964-2003 under the 1963 Intermunicipal
Agreement with Ashland ($5500 per year). Through FY 2015 the Town
has received over $8 million dollars in payments from Ashland
($8,427,370.19) under the successful 2004 Decision and the 2007 IMA
that resulted.
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
General Government 29
Pelham Apartments
and Framingham
Housing Authority
Trash Collection
$300,000
(Avoided Expense)
By virtue of a prior year’s favorable summary judgment ruling achieved
in the Pelham litigation, the Town was able to cease trash collection at
the 550 units at the Pelham Apartments, which results in avoided
expenses estimated at more than $100,000 per year. By virtue of the
Pelham ruling, the Town also was able to cease trash collection at
approximately 1,000 units owned by the Framingham Housing
Authority, thus realizing savings of approximately an additional
estimated $200,000 per year. These savings amount to approximately
$300,000 per year on an annual recurring basis without adjusting for
inflation.
Calvao, et al. v. Town
of Framingham
$150,000
(Avoided Expense)
As a result of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit’s
March 17, 2010 decision affirming the District Court’s decision allowing
the Town’s Motion for Summary Judgment with respect to the Town’s
establishment of a 24-day work period under 29 U.S.C. 207(k), the
Town has avoided liability to date for approximately $1,500,000 in
damages, in view of the federal law that often allows for double
damages and attorney’s fees to be assessed against parties found to have
violated the Fair Labor Standards Act. Additionally, the Town has to
date avoided the need to pay FLSA overtime to officers who work more
than 40 hours per week (CBA overtime is paid), thus saving the Town
approximately $150,000 per year on an annual basis.
O’Loughlin v.
Framingham
$36,561.74
(Revenue)
Through extensive research we were able to locate a relevant insurance
policy from 1982 and through negotiations with the insurer we were able
to obtain reimbursement of legal fees paid to special counsel of over
$36,000, with substantial future legal fees and potential indemnity
expenses avoided in future.
TOTAL FY 2015 $1,302,645.09
While we cannot promise that the
revenue, mitigation and avoided
expenses achieved in FY 2015 will
continue at the same level in the
future, we will continue to exercise
creativity, diligence, and our best legal
skill to address the litigation that does
arise as we advocate on behalf of the
best interests of the Board of
Selectmen and the taxpayers of the
Town.
CONCLUSION
In closing, the attorneys and staff at
Petrini & Associates, P.C. wish to
thank the Board of Selectmen and the
residents of the Town for the
opportunity to serve as your Town
Counsel.

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
Memorial Building, Room 127 | 508-532-5425 | office.cfo@framinghamma.gov
The Office of the Chief Financial Officer
has both financial and policy duties. It is
staffed by the Chief Financial Officer,
Assistant Chief Financial Officer and the
Financial Analyst. The Office administers
Town finances with the assistance of three
departments that have direct responsibility
for financial management of Town
government: the Assessing Department is
responsible for the valuation of real and
personal property and the assessment of
taxes against these parcels and accounts.
The Office of the Treasurer/Collector is
responsible for the collection of all town
revenues, the investment of all revenues,
and the management of the Town’s debt.
The Accounting Department maintains
the Town’s accounting records, generates
financial management information,
processes Town-wide employee payroll,
directs all audit activity and reviews
compliance with internal controls.
The Office of the Chief Financial Officer
is directly responsible for the development
and management of the annual operating
and capital budgets. The CFO is also
required to file a long term forecast for
strategic planning of the Town’s financial
position.
Calendar year 2014 saw the beginning of a
three year budget model FY15-17. This
model will accomplish a number of
Town-wide policy and financial goals: set
the levy increase at 1.25%, half the
allowable increase; moderate residential
tax bills, maintain the residential/
commercial tax burden shares at 60/40%;
fund our most important spending
priorities; prepare for a major School
building investment; and make this plan
sustainable. The FY16 budget, passed in
May of 2015 accomplished year two of
this plan. The Town continued
advancements in both the pension and
OPEB unfunded liabilities. State Chapter
70 aid continues to underfund the basic
education budget, but the Town continues
to invest in Framingham Schools,
including $1.5 million for district
improvements.
The Long Range Forecast indicates that
expenditure growth still exceeds revenue
growth, but the trend is slowing due to
cost containment efforts. The Town must
still live within its means. Health insurance
has been transferred to the state Group
Insurance commission, saving an
estimated $18 million over three years.
This also reduced the OPEB liability by
$16 million. The CFO’s Office is
committed to responsible financial
management which is critical to the
forward progress of the Town.
The Finance Division has published and
presented financial information in more
flexible decision-making formats and
posted these reports on the Town
website.
The CFO’s office has completed the
implementation of a more interactive and
dynamic financial software module for the
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report

capital budget - Questica Budget. The
FY17 budget will be developed using this
software.
The CFO would like to thank the
Assistant CFO, Jennifer Pratt; Richard G.
Howarth, Jr. and his staff in the
Accounting Department, William Naser
and his staff in the Assessing Office,
Carolyn Lyons and her staff in the Office
of the Treasurer/Collector, Amy Putney
in the Purchasing Department, and
Margaret Ottaviani our financial analyst.
These are dedicated financial professionals
who provide excellent stewardship over
the people’s money.
TOWN ACCOUNTANT
Memorial Building, Room 205| 508-532-5410 |town.accountant@framinghamma.gov
The Office of the Town Accountant is
responsible for insuring that all
expenditures of the Town conform to the
requirements of Massachusetts General
Laws, Town Meeting appropriations and
grantors, and do not exceed Town
Meeting appropriations or grant
authorizations. The Office also accounts
for all financial transactions of the Town
– receipts, expenditures and payroll – in
conformance with generally accepted
accounting principles and the Uniform
Municipal Accounting System
promulgated by the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts’ Department of Revenue.
It then makes this accounting information
available to (1) the Town’s municipal
program managers to facilitate their
management of program budgets, (2)
independent auditors who must opine on
the financial condition of the Town; (3)
state and federal agencies for use in
generating financial information for
program and policy development, and, (4)
credit rating agencies for their use in
assessing the Town’s fiscal stability and
creditworthiness and Residents.
The June 30, 2015 (FY15) balance sheet
was submitted to the DOR on October
26, 2015, for certification of available
funds. On November 12, 2015 the DOR
certified the following amounts as
available for appropriation: General Fund
Free Cash: $11,465,022, Sewer Enterprise
Fund Retained Earnings: $2,579,978,
Water Enterprise Fund Retained Earnings
$3,118,850. These available funds
represent unrestricted surpluses that are
available for appropriation by Town
Meeting. They are generated from
positive operating results in relation to the
budget; that is, they are derived from
annual receipts in excess of budget
estimates and expenditures less than the
appropriations authorized by Town
Meeting.
For Fiscal Year 2015, the Department
processed over 13,350 purchase orders,
reviewed over 45,225 invoices and issued
over 21,500 accounts payable checks.
The top ten vendors paid during Fiscal
2015 are as follows:
US Bank $77,781,720
Group Insurance Comm 33,362,031
Framingham Retirement 11,936,192

Robin Nemeth, Administrative Assistant II
Sara Beth Jerome, Customer Service Representative
2015 has been a very good yet
busy year in the Treasurer/Collectors
Office. This department has worked
diligently to meet the requirements of
the laws, and the needs of all the
residents.
We are an office of eight employees
who strive to provide the best customer
service and essential municipal service
to all our residents and taxpayers. As
always, I am indebted to my staff for
the first-class job they do on my
behalf as well as for the Town of
Framingham residents.
Annual collection amounts and
percentages were as follows: Real
Estate taxes collected totaled
$161,068,485 (98%) and personal
property taxes were $8,559,140 (99%).
Excise tax collections totaled
$7,539,841 (88%). Excise tax is
collected on a calendar year basis ,
which is reflected in the lower
collection percentage. Tax Title
collections were $850,815. We have
continued to work hard on the
collection of delinq u en t taxes
a n d to work with t h e s e
r e s i d e n t s in resolving the issues
they have faced which put them into
Tax Title. We have implemented the
use of credit/debit card swipe machines
in our office and continue to promote
our web-based online biller and
payment services in the Tax Collectors
Office to improve customer service.
Earnings on general fund investments
for the year totaled $690,417.94. Even
though the bank rates remain low, we
continue to monitor the bank rates to
maximize our earnings.
The Town's Bond Rating is currently
at Aa2 with a stabilized outlook issued
by Moody's Rating Service. This rating
is the third highest rating in their
system. Moody's also rated the BANs
at MIG1 which is the highest rating for
short term borrowing instruments.
Moody's cited the Town’s financial
position with stable cash balances, a
sizeable and expanding tax base with
above average wealth indicators and
manageable debt and pension burden
as positive credit factors.
The Town issued a bond anticipation
note (BAN) in 2015, awarded to
Century Bank, in the amount of
$4,417,913 with a net interest rate (NIC)
of .4735% including a premium of
$12,149.
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Finance 63
The Town issued a bond for
$43,668,000 awarded to Citigroup
Global Market, Inc. The interest
rate (TIC) was 2.587% including a
premium of $3,793,513.54.
Additionally, the Town has financed
$1,471,400 Water Bond and
$479,407.50 Sewer Bond with an
interest rate of 2% through the Mass
Clean Water Trust.
Per Town Bylaw, the Treasurer
reports the information regarding
authorized debt which is included in
the schedules following this report.
The first schedule shows what is
authorized and un-issued as of June
30, 2015. The second schedule
shows the debt issued and outstanding
during Fiscal Year 2015.
I would like to thank my staff for their
hard work and professionalism.
I would also like to thank the
Accounting and Assessors
Department, CFO and her Staff,
the Payroll Department and
Technology Services for all the
help they have given my staff and
myself over the year.
Respectfully Yours,
Carolyn Lyons

The Purchasing Department seeks to
identify the best overall value when
expending public funds for goods and
services. The Department ensures that
purchases are made in accordance with
local bylaws and in compliance with
procurement statutes of the
Commonwealth. Purchasing has worked
closely with Town and School
departments to produce invitation for bids
for a multitude of projects ranging from
improvements made to Parks Department
recreation areas to the purchase of
vehicles for the Public Works Department
to School Department building upgrades
and maintenance contracts.
Routine contracts were awarded for the
School Department lunch commodities
(e.g., bread, milk, other food supplies), for
Parks & Recreation landscaping materials,
and for various internal services, such as,
elevator maintenance and cleaning
contracts.
The Purchasing Department posts all
invitations for bid on the Town's website
and advertises larger procurement
opportunities locally and in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ Central
Register. The Department is currently
staffed within the Finance Division by
Amy Putney, Procurement Administrator
and a part-time Procurement
Administrative Assistant. Jennifer Pratt,
Assistant Chief Financial Officer also
serves as the Chief Procurement Officer.
In the coming year, the Purchasing
Department will continue to seek out the
best available pricing, including leveraging
our options and selectively participating in
purchasing consortia. The Purchasing
Department will continue to conduct due
diligence on every major purchase in order
to get the best value for taxpayer dollars.

A MESSAGE FROM CHIEF FERGUSON
2015 has been a year of reflection and
learning for the Framingham Police
Department. We have been studying and
implementing what the President’s
Taskforce has recommended on 21st
Century policing. One of our main goals is
to identify and implement evidence based
practices to enhance our professionalism
within the community we serve.Without
delay we began to examine, strengthen,
and promote collaborative relationships
between our department and community.
With strong relationships with key
community stakeholders a subcommittee
was formed and established a forum
titled,” Framingham Coming Together”.
This forum has continued to offer
community members a setting to
exchange ideas and share stories and
concerns around violence, loss of life, and
inequality in public safety, schools, health
care, and the media.
In the Department we continue to
concentrate on maintaining and expanding
a work environment that fosters healthy
relationships between officers. We have
enhanced lines of communication
throughout the organization. We support
an atmosphere of mutual respect at all
levels. Officers who feel respected by
their organizations will bring this respect
into their interactions with the citizens in
the community they serve.
As a public safety organization we have
focused on enhancing our legitimacy with
the people we have sworn to serve. We
will continue with community trust-
building activities throughout the agency.
People will obey the law when they
believe that those enforcing it have
legitimate authority to police them.
We recognize that all people have
prejudices as a result of their life’s
encounters. These preconceptions effect
how one may react when dealing with
unfamiliar people or incidents. As a law
enforcement organization we have
initiated training at all levels of the
organization to alleviate implicit biases,
the biases people are not aware they have.
We will continue to increase awareness
and ensure respectful encounters within
our organization and communities.
We will implement evidence based
policies that represent our organizational
and community values. All policies require
continual oversight, but the policy on
which the Framingham Police
Department maintains the highest level of
evaluation and review is use of force. Our
policy on the use of force will be clearly
stated, continually reviewed and,
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Public Safety & Health 111
transparent. You can now review this
policy on our website with our other
organizational policies.
We continue to improve organizational
accountability as one means of protecting
the rights of all during police encounters.
Research is essential to identifying what
does and doesn’t work in our organization
and our community, which policing
methods are effective, and which ones are
ineffective or may have unintended
consequences. We continue to assess
results and outcomes to improve.
As your law enforcement agency, we
continue to advance our technological
capacity and improve our social media
outlets. Technology can enhance policing
practices and improve community trust
and legitimacy. Improving current
technologies and employing new
technologies offers us another
opportunity to engage and educate our
communities on public safety issues.
The Framingham Police Department
continues to strengthen its community
policing philosophy. Community policing
promotes strategies that support the
systematic use of partnerships and
problem-solving techniques to proactively
address crime, disorder, and unhealthy
quality of life issues. We regularly engage
in problem-solving activities internally and
with our community partners in response
to locations, people, and incidents of
concern. Much of our effectiveness has
been the result of town and community
initiatives working in unison with the
common goal of ensuring that
Framingham is a safe and healthy place to
live, raise a family, work, and visit.
Officer safety and wellness continue to be
a priority for our organization. The
wellness and safety of law enforcement
officers is not only critical to themselves,
their peers, and our agency, but also to
public safety. The sustained health and
wellness of our people is directly related
to our success and effectiveness. Law
enforcement officers deal with risk and
tragedy on a regular basis. We recognize
that physical and psychological injuries
can reduce a law enforcement
organization’s operational effectiveness.
We enlisted the assistance of experts in
the areas of exercise, nutrition, and
organizational health. One of the subject
matter experts who continue to assist us is
Dr. Gerald Sweet, a highly experienced
police psychologist. Through Dr. Sweet’s
expertise, guidance, and support we have
identified organizational issues, conducted
focus groups to discuss and address
issues, and have developed and
implemented programs and initiatives to
enhance the organizational health of our
Department, we will progress in this area.
Sincerely,
Chief Ken Ferguson

Emergency Management
Framingham Emergency Management
Agency (FrEMA) directs all emergency
management operations in the Town of
Framingham. Emergency management is
the preparedness, mitigation, response and
recovery of both naturally occurring
events like blizzards, ice storms,
hurricanes, flooding or earthquakes as well
as any man made disasters such as
chemical spills, fires, transportation events
and acts of terrorism. Framingham
Emergency Management has worked
extensively under its current structure to
create planning groups, exercise response
activities, secure funding from grants and
state and federal sources and expand
participation in this municipal function.
Frema in concert with Framingham
department of public works and the
Northeast Homeland Security Regional
Advisory Council also operate an
emergency equipment cache located at
Framingham DPW. This cache is one of
only three in the State and will be used to
disperse equipment and supplies during
emergencies. FrEMA in conjunction
with state and federal authorities,
prepares, administers and implements
Framingham’s CEMP (Comprehensive
Emergency Management Plan) as well as
the federal mandated NIMSCAST. In
2007 the entire CEMP was rewritten and
printed; this is the first time since 1997.
In 2010 Framingham also joined five
other communities (Ashland, Natick,
Holliston, Hopkinton and Sherborn) to
form the Metrowest Regional Emergency
Planning Committee.
In 2012 FrEMA took delivery of a brand
new mobile command post, this vehicle is
outfitted with the latest technology for
crimes scenes, natural disasters and
planned events. The vehicle has a
conference room, 3 dispatch areas, hard
wired telephones, weather station, 40 foot
boom with camera and specialized scene
lighting. The vehicle is operated by a nine
member emergency management strike
team. Framingham will continue to be a
leader in the ever increasing role of
emergency management in a post 911 era,
roles and responsibilities are increasing
and the Town will need to recognize the
value of emergency preparedness.
The mobile command post was deployed
several times in 2015 most notably during
the Boston Marathon.
In 2013 FrEMA also began another
innovative program Smart911, working
with a local company Rave. This program
gives citizens the ability to share
information that will be displayed on the
dispatchers screen when the citizen dials
911. This service is free to the citizen and
can be accessed at www.smart911.com.
On September 16, 2015 FrEMA
participated in a functional exercise with
Natick public safety officials, State Public
Safety Officials and the Natick Collection.
The exercise tested our capabilities to
respond to a terrorist attack at the Natick
Collection.
The Director of Frema is Deputy Police
Chief Steve Trask with 3 Asst. Emergency
Mgt. Directors; Asst. Fire Chief John
Magri, Police Lt. Blaise Tersoni and Police
Lt. Mike Siaba.
Auxiliary Police
The 20 dedicated men and women of the
Framingham Auxiliary Police completed
another outstanding year of service for the
community. For the past 73 years, the
Auxiliary Police have been an active and
vital component of the Police
Department.
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Public Safety & Health 114
The Auxiliary Police, under the guidance
of Auxiliary Captain Marc Spigel, have a
well defined training program in which
officers attend an academy for reserve
police officers; and are trained in first
responder first aid and CPR/AED.
Annually the Auxiliary Officers keep their
skills and certification current with field
and in-service training. The result is a
professional Auxiliary Police Organization
that stands ready to assist this department.
During the year, the Auxiliary Officers
volunteer countless hours of their time to
help make Framingham a better place to
live and work.
You can see some of their volunteer
efforts in action at community events
such as Concerts on the Green, charitable
road races, and child safety programs. As
part of the Framingham Emergency
Management Agency, Auxiliary Police
Officers provide assistance at the
Emergency Operations Center and
emergency shelters as needed, and are
trained in the National Incident
Management System.
Jail Diversion Program
During 2015 the Jail Diversion Program
evaluated over 600 hundred individuals
with mental illness that the police
department had come into contact with.
Of those several hundred evaluations
many had committed arrestable offenses
but were diverted away from arrest and
into mental health treatment programs.
Many of the evaluations would normally
have been evaluated at the Emergency
Room at Metrowest Medical Center but
instead were diverted away and handled
by the program’s clinician. Some of the
individuals were in fact arrested for their
offences but due to their mental health
condition received court ordered
treatment instead of punitive sanctions.

bites a human or another domestic
mammal must be quarantined for a period
of ten days to determine the risk of rabies
transmission. Domestic mammals which
come in contact with, or are otherwise
exposed to the rabies virus must first be
assessed to determine severity of risk.
Depending on the vaccination status of
the domestic mammal involved, it will be
either quarantined or destroyed. The
Animal Inspector must ensure that all
animals, wild or domestic, which must be
tested for rabies, are captured and
euthanized. The head must be removed,
packaged properly and submitted to the
State Rabies Lab for testing.
The Massachusetts Department of
Agriculture, Division of Animal Health
appoints the municipal animal inspectors.
The primary duty of the Animal Inspector
has recently become rabies control in the
domestic animal population. Municipal
Animal Inspectors are also responsible for
livestock inspections and may be called to
assist with domestic animal disease
quarantines in the event of an outbreak.
Livestock inspections are a census of the
domestic animal population of the town,
be sure that all of the animals appear to be
in good health and free from disease and
observe animal housing and ensure ample
food and water are supplied. The annual
livestock census, required by the
Massachusetts Department of Agriculture,
Division of Animal Health, is taken by the
sworn Animal Inspectors of this
department. There are more than 45
different locations that keep livestock and
fowl within the Town of Framingham.
These inspections covered 458 chickens,
22 goats, 9 turkeys, 41geese and ducks, 12
sheep, 53 horses, 3 ponies, 1 donkey17
alpaca and llama, 1 pig, 1 beef steer, 12
game birds including Guinea hens and
peafowl.

HIGHLIGHTS IN REVIEW:
The Framingham Fire Department
provides Fire, Rescue and Emergency
Medical Services to those who live, work
and travel through the community.
Calendar year 2015 was our busiest year
ever. We responded to over 11,342
emergency 9-1-1 calls.
2015 was a remarkable year for the
Department, most noteworthy on
November 23, 2015, 29 Framingham
Firefighters were honored statewide at the
Firefighter of the Year Awards receiving
various Citations from Governor Charlie
Baker for bravery and heroism above and
beyond the call of duty. The Governor’s
Citations were awarded for actions at 6
Cornell Road where crews rescued a
homeowner from his burning house on
March 4th; and on June 7th, members saved
a victim from an upside down submerged
vehicle from a pond on Gates Road.
We were successful in obtaining some
outside funding through grant awards
from the Federal Assistance to
Firefighters Grant Program,
Massachusetts Executive Office of Public
Safety and Massachusetts Department of
Fire Safety and will continue to seek
additional outside revenue sources and

grants. Some of these grants are listed
below:
SAFE-Student Awareness of Fire
Educations: $6,300.00 public
safety education
MDU-Mobile Decontamination
Unit: $3,000.00: training and
maintenance of state De-Con Unit
The department is fortunate to have
firefighters who serve in the Armed
Services and the Town and Department
provide assistance and support to the
families of these military members when
they are deployed for active combat duty;
many thanks to those who have served on
our behalf.
The operation of the Fire Department is
large and complex. We do more than
simply respond to fires, rescues and
medical emergencies. Because some of
the incidents we encounter are larger or
more technical than the resources readily
available to the fire department, we work
collaboratively with various departments
and agencies both in and outside the
town. Some of these collaborations
include:
Unified Fire and Police Fire
Investigation Unit (FIU).
Fire District #14 Regional
Technical Rescue Operations.
Fire District #14 Collaborative
Dive and Underwater Recovery
Unit.
State Wide Hazardous Materials
Response.
Massachusetts Emergency
Management Agency.
Regional Emergency Planning
Committee (REPC).
With an uncertain economy, we will
continue to strive to be even more
creative in the way services are delivered,
doing more with less while at the same
time maintaining the core mission of the
department.
Fire Prevention Division
The Division of Fire Prevention is
comprised of a Fire Marshal, Assistant
Fire Marshal, two fire inspectors and a
licensed fire protection engineer (FPE).
To ensure a consistent approach, the fire
prevention officers are active members
and participants with the Fire Prevention
Association of Massachusetts (FPAM),
the International Association of Arson
Investigators (IAAI) and the
Massachusetts Department of Fire
Services (DFS). To ensure professional
standards the staff is certified through the
State as fire prevention officers, fire
investigators and life safety educators.
The Fire Marshal is responsible for the
day-to-day operation of the fire
prevention office and is on call and
available to respond seven days per week
“around the clock”. The major areas of
responsibility include fire code violation
investigations, public safety education,
construction submittal plan review,
permitting, and fire cause determination.
The Fire Marshal serves on the Traffic
Roadway Safety Committee, the Technical
Review Team, the Code enforcement
Task Force and the Interdepartmental
Community Support Team.
The Assistant Fire Marshal assists with the
division’s responsibilities and fills in with
the marshal’s absence. The Assistant Fire
Marshal works closely with the Fire
Protection Engineer in approving plans
and permits. He schedules acceptance
testing with fire protection contractors, as
well as conducting meetings with general
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Public Safety & Health 119
contractors, engineers and property
owners for proposed projects in addition
to any problems that arise during
construction and final inspection.
The Inspectors are responsible for
reviewing fire permits and conducting the
subsequently required inspections.
Acceptance tests are a major area of
responsibility in which the fire inspector
witnesses the proper operation of fire and
life safety systems prior to a new tenant or
owner occupying a residential or
commercial space. The inspectors are the
“boots on the street” promoting and
enforcing safety.
The Fire Protection Engineer is a key
position that works closely with the
Town’s Planning and Building Divisions
to ensure code compliance in addition to
acting a resource to developers,
contractors and business owners with
complex design, code interpretations and
fire protection issues. The FPE is also a
valuable resource to responders in
mitigating complex fire and hazardous
material incidents and in preparation for
such.
Framingham house fire
A major goal of the Framingham Fire
Department is to continue with emphasis
on prevention, risk reduction and life
safety education programs in the
community. In addition to hundreds of
occupancy inspections, a summary of
permit activity in 2015 includes:
1,103 residential smoke detector
permits
1,028 fire alarm system permits
552 sprinkle system permits
124 oil burner permits
150 flammable liquid storage
permits
86 propane storage permits
75 welding permits
Working at a Night Fire
Emergency Medical Services Training:
We continue forward with the major
changes in EMS. The MASS Emergency
Medical Technician (MAEMT) has
merged with the National Registry of
Emergency Medical Technicians
(NREMT). MAEMT no longer records
any of the continuing education hours
that our members are taking. It is being
recorded by the NREMT web site.
Massachusetts is only the second State to
merge with the requirements from the
NREMT. There has been some confusion
on how Con Ed hours are being
categorized and we are working it through
with the NREMT. It is a work in process.
Framingham Fire Dept. instructed its
members on the use of Naloxone Auto
Injector for usage with Heroin Overdose.
Through a Grant from the State we have
placed 2 sets of these auto injectors on all
of our apparatus.
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Public Safety & Health 120
Tourniquets and clotting agents used in
major trauma incidents have been donated
by the Boston Marathon association and
placed on all the apparatus.
FireTraining
Massachusetts Fire Academy presented to
classes using computer simulators for
Emergency Vehicle Operation and Fire /
“Mayday” scenarios. Extensive training on
our “Rapid Intervention Team” (RIT).
These skills and procedures are needed
when a Firefighter becomes trapped and
needs to be rescued. We also use these
skills when rescuing Civilians trapped in a
building on fire. With the use of Thermal
Imaging Cameras (TIC) the process
becomes quicker and more efficient, in
the case of multiple trapped Civilians and
Firefighters.
Fire Alarm Division:
The Fire Alarm Division is responsible for
the general maintenance of traffic signals,
controls, the municipal fire alarm system,
master boxes, street boxes and
underground and aerial cable.
Sixteen (16) new master boxes were added
in 2015. We now have a total of 943
boxes in service in strategic locations
throughout Framingham. Of the 943
boxes, 588 are master boxes that protect
individual properties, and 355 are street
boxes.
In addition to the regular duties of
maintaining and installing the fire alarm
and communication system, the Fire
Alarm Division was also responsible for
maintaining and repairing forty-four (44)
traffic signals, three (3) 4-way flashing
signals, twenty-six (26) school zone signals
and two (2) 30mph ‘S’ curve signals. The
traffic signals controlling Grant and Clark
Streets were removed. The following is a
breakdown of traffic signal repairs:
65 calls for traffic signals not working;
13 calls for signal heads turned;
24 calls for re-lamping traffic signals;
150 calls for changing of time, checking
preemption, Opticom, repair broken
pedestrian buttons, repair knock downs,
meetings with contractors digging up
roads to mark underground pipes,
meetings with contractors doing traffic
signal improvements, preventive
maintenance and investigations.
21 traffic signals knocked-down in motor
vehicle accidents: 10 were reported to the
Police Department, 11 were hit and run.
The Fire Department is responsible for
the cost of replacing these knockdowns.
96 calls for school zone signals not
working properly that required time
adjustments, new lamps and new clock
installations. This also included time
adjustments made at the beginning and
the end of the school year.
The Division installed approximately
4,880 feet of new fire alarm cable for new
master boxes and replacement of
deteriorated cable.
51 pole transfers for Verizon were
completed.
The Fire Alarm Division worked jointly
with Fire Prevention in reviewing all fire
alarm plans submitted to the Department.
In addition, the Division attended
meetings with contractors for new interior
fire alarm installations and master box
locations. Both Fire Alarm and Fire
Prevention worked together to perform
interior fire alarm system inspections in
new and existing buildings.
Total of 68 meetings
Total of 67 plan reviews
Total of 50 fire alarm inspections

Emergency Medical Services
American Medical Response (AMR)
continues to provide Emergency Medical
Services (EMS) to the Town of
Framingham. Currently AMR is
contracted to provide three Advanced
Life Support (ALS) Paramedic level
ambulances. Framingham has experienced
a steady rise in medical calls as we
responded to 7,447 calls for medical
assistance; this is an approximate 10%
increase from 2014. AMR provides Basic
and Advanced Life Support training to
Framingham Fire personnel at no
additional cost to the Town of
Framingham.
I would like to thank the Board of
Selectmen, Town Manager, Town Meeting
Members and Committees and the
residents for the continued support that
has been given to the Fire Department.

FRAMINGHAM HEALTH DEPARTMENT
31 Flagg Drive, Room D15| 508-532-5470 |health@framinghamma.gov
The mission of the Health Department is
to protect, promote, and preserve the
health and wellness of all Framingham
residents.
Under the policy direction of an
appointed Board of Health, the
department staff assesses the public health
needs of the Framingham community.
The staff addresses those needs by
enforcing state and local public health and
environmental health regulations and by
providing public health nursing services,
health promotion activities, emergency
preparedness and response planning,
community health outreach and
education, and by reducing environmental
health hazards.
The Board of Health consists of three
members that are appointed for three year
consecutive terms by the Board of
Selectmen. This year we were delighted to
welcome Laura T. Housman to the Board
of Health. We are thankful for the
dedicated service of Nelson H. Goldin as
he stepped down from the Board after 17
years of service.
The Health Department staff is comprised
of a Director of Public Health, Chief of
Community Health, Chief Environmental
Health Officer, four full-time Sanitarians,
a part-time Sanitarian, Public Health
Nurse, Community Intervention
Specialist, Community Health Worker,
Environmental Site Assessment Officer,
Office Manager, and an Administrative
Assistant.
The Health Department conducts
numerous mandated inspections
throughout the year according to local and
state mandates. These inspections include
but are not limited to, food
establishments, housing, body art
establishments, tanning establishments
swimming pools whirlpools, beach testing,
Bottled water regulations, Biotechnology
regulations, Recreational Camps, Title 5
(onsite waste water) plan review and field
inspections, tobacco control, 21 E
hazardous waste inspections, animal
permitting, South Middlesex Opportunity
Council (SMOC) group home and hotel
and motel inspections.
On occasion, the Health Department
must hold show cause administrative
hearings and prepare cases for resolution
in District Court. There were a total of
928 initial inspections performed in 2015.
Re-inspections are required for many of
the inspections and orders to correct,
letters of no violation, and/or letters of
abatement are issued for all complaints.
An additional facet of the Health
Department’s work involves complaint
investigation, including, but not limited to,
solid waste, dust, odors, noises,
rodents/vector control and general
neighborhood conditions.
The department has a Licensed Site
Professional (LSP) serving as its
Environmental Site Assessment Officer,
to study onsite hazardous waste site
conditions at the Framingham General
Chemical Corporation, Mary Dennison
Park, and other hazardous waste sites in
town. Through the work of this
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Public Safety & Health 123
employee, the town was able to advocate
for additional onsite environmental
assessment activities to be conducted in
order to ensure that sufficient data is
garnered to assure that optimal
assessment of onsite conditions are made.
This will help assess the level of
treatment, additional monitoring and
remediation that is needed to address
onsite contamination. The Environmental
Site Assessment Officer also assists the
Health Department, Town Manager and
the Community and Economic
Development Department with ongoing
21E sites assessments in town in order to
determine current site conditions, assess
needed remediation work and best
available technology required to address
various environmental health concerns.
In 2015 the Health Department drafted
and implemented new Bodywork
Regulations. The scope of these
regulations is broad and includes many
aspects, which if not particularly regulated
could endanger the community with the
risk of prostitution, human trafficking and
disease transmission. Additional
regulatory and educational programs in
the planning phase include a Pre-
Construction Rodent Abatement
regulation, Hazardous Material
Registration, Food Establishment Person
in Charge (PIC) training, Swimming Pool
Certificated Pool Operator refresher
training, Choke Safe training, Tanning
Establishment Operator training, and
Body Art Establishment Operator
training. The Heath Department staff is
also very active in addressing community
and public health crisis issues such as
hoarding and opioid abuse.
The Health Department worked in
conjunction with the East Middlesex
Mosquito Control Project (EMMCP) in
planning larviciding, adulticiding, aerial
applications, and surveillance activity
throughout the town.
The Health Department reviews
numerous Planning Department Site plans
in conjunction with other municipal
department including but not limited to
Fire, Conservation. Police, Building and
Economic and Community Development
Department. The Health Department
reviews these plans and provides
comments regarding hazardous waste
containment, noise, odor mitigation, the
need for Food Establishment permitting,
Title V - onsite waste water (review) and
complete streets.
The Town of Framingham,
Northborough, Marlborough and Hudson
Planning Departments, Public Works and
Health Departments partner in the
regional Mass in Motion and Complete
Streets grant initiative. These initiatives
are aimed at increasing physical activity,
healthy dinning and access to walking and
bike paths with scheduled improvements
to streets and sidewalks in order to
improve transportation and pedestrian
mobility. These initiatives have been
deemed to be crucial to the development
of needed programs and interventions
that have been identified in the
MetroWest Regional Community Health
Assessment which include but are not
limited to, transportation and prevention
of obesity.
The Health Department was also the
recipient of the Prevention and Wellness
Trust Fund (PWTF) Grant. The PWTF
grant earns the Health Department over
$140k per year for three years. The PWTF
is a collaborative of four municipal health
departments (Hudson, Northborough,
Marlborough, and Framingham) and
many community stakeholders known as
the Metrowest Partnership (MWP). As
one of only eight (8) grantees, the MWP
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Public Safety & Health 124
will continue to be at the forefront of
National Prevention efforts in Asthma,
Hypertension, Elder Falls, and Tobacco
Use Cessation.
The Health Department in conjunction
with the Fire, Police, Building and various
municipal officials, conduct monthly
general nuisance surveys of areas
neighborhoods in order to address the
concern of area residents regarding traffic,
quality of housing stock and general
nuisance conditions. These
“neighborhood walks” establish
communication channels establishment
with area residents via scheduled
neighborhood community health
meetings. If necessary enforcement
actions include but not limited to, non-
criminal ticketing and court complaints
are initiated to ensure compliance with
local nuisance regulations and state health
building codes.

Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Public Safety & Health 126
The mission of the Building Department
is to provide knowledge and service
regarding local, state, and federal codes
and standards in a manner which supports
our commitment to the safety of our
public and to the integrity of the
department. We willingly participate in
programs of continuing education to keep
our staff informed of the latest technology
and requirements within the building
trades industry as well as customer service
and computer literacy.
The year of 2015 was another record year
with regard to permit activity. I refer to
the attached 5 year report which reflects a
repeat of last year. Please note this
increased work was accomplished without
the addition of any new staff.
The office staff processed 3541 Building
Permits, 2185 Plumbing & Gas Permits,
and 2125 Electrical Permits as well as the
general administrative day to day duties.
Our Plans Examiner processed over 2950
plans and documents.
The Plumbing-Gas Inspector and
Electrical Inspector averaged 13 to 15
inspections per day and also responded to
an average of 1-2 after hour calls per week
from the Fire and or Police Department.
The two Building Inspectors averaged 12-
15 inspections per day each and also
conducted over 100 Liquor License
inspections from November 1st thru
December 31st. Both inspectors
responded to an average of 1-2 after hour
calls per week from the Fire and or Police
Departments.
Code Enforcement inspectors worked
on 761 cases of which more than 80%
involved housing. The report illustrates
that the inspectors addressed 16 illegal
rooming houses, 36 illegal apartments and
monitored 77 foreclosed properties. Our
Code Enforcement Task Force has
recently teamed up with the Attorney
General’s Abandoned Housing Initiative
to help out with abandoned properties.
We also received a CDBG funded grant
for $61,500 for code enforcement
activities.
Sign permitting and enforcement were at
record levels for 2015. 101 illegal signs
were brought into compliance by the Sign
Officer and 259 new signs were permitted
in strict accordance with the Sign By-law.
I would like to thank all the Town of
Framingham officials, and departments
that we have worked with during the
course of the year. We at the Building
Department appreciate the knowledge and
professionalism exhibited town wide.
I am pleased to extend my sincere
congratulations and gratitude to Mark
Hughes our Plans Examiner, on his
retirement. Mark has had a distinguished
28 year career in Building Code
Enforcement, the last 12 here in
Framingham.
In closing, I extend a special THANK
YOU to the entire Building Department
staff whom I have truly appreciated
working with during this past year. Our
group worked extremely hard to handle
the increase in work this year without the
help of additional staff.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
Memorial Building, Room 203| 508-532-5470 | 508-532-5790 (fax) |ers@framinghamma.gov
In compliance with Section 34,
Chapter 98, General Laws of the
Commonwealth, I am submitting my
annual report of the Department of
Weights & Measures for the year
ending December 31, 2015.
The Weights & Measures Department
is required by state statute to inspect all
weighing and measuring devices in the
Town of Framingham each calendar
year. In 2015, the Department
inspected 1868 weighing and measures
devices, including scanning audits.
The Department collected $49,782 in
inspection and sealing fees during
2015. This surpasses the revenue for
the 2013 year. The Department issued
16 civil citations and 42 late fee
violations in calendar year 2015, for the
following: pricing errors (scanning),
unsealed scales & gasoline meters. The
total violations and late fees amounted
to $16,605 for the calendar year of
2015. The non-criminal average fine
was $897. The Department had NO
cases in Framingham District Court
(criminal) for overcharging consumers.
The Department saved consumers and
businesses in Framingham into the
thousands of dollars by conducting
both mandated and spot inspections
during 2015 in addition to the fees,
fines and late fees collected for the
Town. Errors found and corrected
resulted in sufficient savings to
consumers. The Department checked
9432 items in local retail stores to
ensure that they scanned correctly.
The Department found that 94.5%
were priced correctly, 1.5% was
underpriced and 4% was overpriced.
This was not an improvement over the
previous years but shows that our
education and inspection program is
working. The Department investigated
24 consumer complaints during the
year.
In 2015 it was the One Hundredth year
of the National Conferences on
Weights & Measures in which the
Town of Framingham is a member.
Massachusetts has NOT missed one
conference in this time frame.
I want to thank Mr. Michael A. Tusino,
the Director/Building Commissioner,
the Town's part-time Weights &
Measures Inspector, Mr. Edward R.
Gentili, and the Office Manager of
Inspectional Services, Ms. Danielly
Morais-Fonseca and her staff for all
their help and assistance.
Respectfully Submitted,
Edward R. Seidler

ENGINEERING AND
TRANSPORTATION DIVISION
The Engineering and Transportation
Division is responsible for the planning,
design and construction of capital
roadway and utility infrastructure projects;
maintaining compliance with various State
and Federal programs such as National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Phase II Stormwater; managing
the Town’s Street and Trench Opening
Permit programs; reviewing development
and redevelopment plans to ensure
roadway and utility changes conform to
the Town’s construction standards; and
inspecting modifications and expansions
to the roadway, water, sewer and
stormwater infrastructure. The Division
also provides technical expertise to the
operational divisions of Public Works;
other Town Departments; various Boards,
Committees and Commissions; maintains
an extensive Geographical Information
System (GIS); and is the custodian of a
large collection of historical paper plans
and documents.
During the year, more than 22,000 linear
feet of water, wastewater and stormwater
mains were installed or replaced in
locations including the Coburnville
neighborhood, Concord Street, Granite
Street, Herbert Street, Hollis Street, Irving
Street, Loring Drive, Main Street, Maple
Street, Moulton Park Road and Riverpath
Drive. A 1,000,000 gallon concrete water
storage tank off Edmands Road was taken
out of service and rehabilitated. This was
one of two tanks servicing the Beebe
pressure zone in the northwest corner of
Town. The other tank was replaced in
2014.
The Division also supported Eversource
Energy’s electrical upgrade project in the
Downtown Area. This project included
the installation of 20 concrete vaults and
approximately 3,800 linear feet of conduit.
Significant coordination was required
between this project and the
Massachusetts Department of
Transportation’s (MassDOT) ongoing
roadway improvements in the same
heavily travelled corridor.

Roadway and transportation improvement
projects overseen were the Belknap Road
and Flanagan Drive crosswalk,
Coburnville Roadway and sidewalk
reconstruction project, Concord Street at
School Street improvements project,
Dudley Road crosswalk, Edgell Road near
Whiting Road Aqueduct crossing, Elm
Street at the Weston Aqueduct crossing,
Water Street roadway and safety
improvements, Waverly Street crosswalk
at the commuter rail station and the
Winch Street and Millwood Street traffic
calming projects.
The Concord Street at School Street
improvements project and the Water
Street roadway and safety improvements
collectively improved the safety, visual
impact and walkability of the Saxonville
area. The Division also worked with the
developer of the Danforth Green project
to secure a $1,000,000.00 MassWorks
Infrastructure Grant to make utility and
transportation improvements to Riverpath
Drive. That project was successfully
completed this year.
The Division continued to coordinate
with MassDOT to advance several
construction projects: the largest project
began in 2014 in the Downtown area and
is expected to continue through 2016, the
Central Street Bridge in Saxonville, Route
9 Bridge over the Foss Reservoir Outlet
and the Winter Street Bridge over the
railroad near Keefe Technical School.
Multiple utility and transportation design
projects were also advanced or completed.
Utility project designs included sewer
capacity improvements downstream of
the Technology Park; elimination of the
Worcester Road sewer pump station;
water and sewer improvements along the
Union Avenue corridor; rehabilitation of
the Goodnow Lane Water Pump Station;
replacement of several neighborhood
sewer pump stations including Eastleigh,
Flanagan, Hancock, John McQuinn, Little
Farms and Shawmut; water and sewer
improvements along Elmfield Road and
Hop Brook; and water improvements on
Cochituate Road and Speen Street.
Transportation project work included the
continued design of the Union Avenue
roadway improvements; Dennison
Crossing traffic improvements;
interdepartmental collaboration regarding
bike lane assessment; and mitigation
improvements for private development
including the traffic signal and intersection
improvements on Concord Street at
Hartford Street as well as on Old
Connecticut Path at Speen Street.
The Division advanced programmatic
issues centric to the Town’s stormwater
management system and has joined the
Central Massachusetts Regional
Stormwater Coalition (CMRSWC), a
group of communities working together
to more effectively manage municipal
stormwater and to meet the requirements
of the EPA’s Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer System (MS4) Permit in an efficient
and cost-effective manner. The Division
reviewed and submitted comments to the
EPA on the draft 2014 Massachusetts
MS4 permit; continued water quality
monitoring and sampling at approximately
15% of the Town’s outfalls; investigated
ten potential illicit discharges; and
undertook several public education
events. The Division also led efforts that
resulted in a grant award of $157,000.00
to the Town to improve a natural
resources habitat along Beaver Dam
Brook in southeast Framingham and
participates in the Town’s Multiple
Hazard Mitigation Planning efforts.
The Division continued to provide Town
GIS support including the Town Assessor
Department’s most significant update of
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Public Works 131
the assessor’s maps in decades that
remapped and renumbered the entire
parcel dataset for simplicity and ease of
use. The GIS staff also provided data and
coordinated the acquisition of expanded
mapping information for the Town
website and initiated a process to
streamline the GIS-based work order
system.
Lastly, the Division conducted 1,630 total
inspections primarily of private work
within the right-of-way or involving public
infrastructure. These inspections ranged
from single family residence water/sewer
connections to large scale projects such as
private utility gas main installations or
private development at the Planned Unit
Development (PUD). The permitting
work included 576 Street Opening
Permits, 252 Trench Opening Permits, 37
Public Way Access Permits and review of
254 plan submissions. The survey staff
conducted 38 large survey projects, 94
sideline surveys and 24 assessor splits.
HIGHWAY DIVISION
The Highway Division is responsible for
the maintenance and repair of the Town’s
roadways, sidewalks, stormwater utilities
and public shade trees.
Pavement Management Program
Roadway projects consist of the
replacement or upgrade of roadways and
appurtenances for adherence to current
regulatory guidelines and directives as well
as new pavement markings, street signs,
sidewalks, granite and bituminous curbing,
wheelchair ramps and curb-cut control
measures.
During the year, road rehabilitation on 24
centerline miles of roadway; maintenance
and replacement of defective guardrails;
emergency repairs; preventive
maintenance; and the filling of
approximately 11,500 potholes took place.
The Division continued to integrate and
manage the use of specialized contracted
equipment with in-house resources. The
development of the Annual Roadway
Program has led to greater cost control,
quality control and accountability while
performing repair work on defective
roadways.
Snow and Ice Management Program
Snow and ice operations are one of the
most important public safety
responsibilities. No activity performed by
a Town has more uncontrollable factors
or greater impact on the community than
the proper handling of snow and ice
events. Factors including weather, amount
of snowfall, rate of snowfall, duration of
storm and type of precipitation have to be
considered; and impact on resources and
costs, including manpower, equipment
and materials must be appropriately
managed.
The Division is responsible for providing
safe roadways and sidewalks both during
and after snow, ice and other weather
related events. This effort involves the
plowing and treating of 550 lane miles of
public roadway, 45 municipal parking
facilities, 84 miles of sidewalks and public
pathways, 218 crosswalks, 190 cul-de-sacs,
11 school paths, 31 school crossing-guard
stations and all student drop-off areas.
The Division also distributes and fills 50
sand barrels located on hills throughout
Town for residents use.
The Division has integrated the Town’s
GIS with an Incident Command Structure
to manage each event. In addition, the
Division installed global positioning
system (GPS) units into plowing
equipment. The purpose of this strategic
effort is to provide a high level of
accountability while applying the
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Public Works 132
appropriate amount of resources to each
weather event. In order to be fiscally
responsible, the Division has developed a
strategy to focus on main roads with
greater speeds and higher traffic volumes,
while utilizing a measured response on
secondary roads making them safe and
passable. All Town spreader trucks are
equipped with a computerized distribution
system that operates according to ground
speed to insure the uniform distribution
of de-icing materials.
Stormwater Management Program
The stormwater system consists of more
than 200 miles of surface and subsurface
drainage systems, 12,000 catch basin and
manhole structures and more than 900
drainage outfalls. Construction projects
completed by the Division and contracted
personnel include the installation of 928
linear feet of new drain line and 7 new
stormwater structures on Auburn Street,
Beaver Street and Newbury Street; and the
repair or adjustment of 458 drainage
structures. The Division continues the
practice of monthly inspections in a
proactive drainage structure maintenance
program. During 2015, 48,136 linear feet
of drainpipe was televised and cleaned.
The removal of sand and debris from the
Town’s catch basins and manholes
remains an operational priority each year.
In an effort to minimize the amount of
sand entering and further diminishing the
capacity of the system, the Division has
continued strict control practices for the
use of de-icing materials during the winter
months. In addition, an aggressive, town-
wide street and sidewalk cleaning program
is performed annually in the spring to
remove as much sand as possible. An
overnight sweeping of the streets and
sidewalks in the Downtown Business
District minimizes the entry of materials
into the system and provides a cleaner
environment.
The deficiencies in the stormwater
systems throughout the Town are a major
cause of unscheduled overtime and
emergency repair cost incurred by the
Town. In order to maintain compliance
with the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination Systems Phase II Stormwater
Permit, a vigorous year-long effort is
made to clean all of the catch basins
utilizing both Division personnel and
contracted services, to remove silt, sand,
and debris annually. Storm drain cleaning
continually results in a significant list of
necessary repairs as the inspection process
progresses. Once the catch basins have
been cleaned, approximately 1,000 tons of
catch basin debris will be hauled to an
accepted facility utilizing Town equipment
and personnel. The Division is awaiting
the execution of a new contract to
facilitate the cleaning of approximately
8,500 catch basins.
Beaver Dam Brook and Hop Brook
continue to be significant operational
challenges as even a modest rain event can
cause the brooks to surcharge at the many
culvert headwalls in both South
Framingham and the Gregory Road and
McAdams areas of North Framingham.
For this reason, the Division has installed
automated monitoring sensors that alert
staff to high water levels.
The maintenance, inspection and
operation of the Town’s Saxonville flood
levee system consisting of 2,550 feet of
earth dikes, 1,340 feet of concrete flood
walls, 1,000 feet of channel realignment, a
pumping station, interior drainage and
vehicular flood gate also fall under the
responsibility of the Division.
Traffic Systems Management Program
The Division manages the maintenance,
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Public Works 133
fabrication and placement of the Town’s
regulatory, advisory and street signage;
steel-beam safety guardrails; installation of
new and annual maintenance of existing
pavement markings; as well as the work
zone safety program for Division
operations. Other responsibilities include
the advance planning of roadway traffic
management during infrastructure
improvements; posting street-by-street
“no parking” signage to efficiently
advance the street sweeping and snow
removal operations; installing and or
replacing hundreds of regulatory and
advisory signs either by direction of the
Board of Selectmen, the Traffic Roadway
Safety Committee or as required through
routine maintenance practices; responding
to Police, Fire and other safety roadway
related issues requiring emergency traffic
management; and assistance for scheduled
events like the Boston Marathon.
The annual contract and painting of 85
miles of yellow centerline, 104 miles of
white edge line, over 726 crosswalks, 792
stop bars and 374 arrows throughout the
Town was also managed by the Division.
Tree Warden & Forestry Management
The Town was named a Tree City USA
again in 2015 for the 24th consecutive year.
The Division is responsible to promote,
preserve and enhance the shade tree
environment of the community through
the application of best management
practices and public education campaigns;
provide maintenance management for the
Town’s estimated 12,000 public shade
trees; and for the development of a Public
Shade Tree program for the community.
The Division plans an annual Arbor Day
celebration and several private contractors
donate their time and resources to this
successful event. This year the event was
held in conjunction with the Park and
Recreation Department at Farm Pond.
Statutory requirements to maintain
minimum clearance over the 550 lane mile
roadway network is a primary and
recurring function of the Division. During
the year, 33.5 miles of pruning was
completed to provide clearance and safe
travel lanes. The Town’s shade trees
require routine maintenance so that they
do not become a public liability. The tree
crew performs monthly surveys to
determine hazardous and diseased trees
and takes action to minimize damage;
responds during severe weather events; as
well as provide cleanup and removal of
storm debris.
The Tree Warden conducts frequent
hazardous tree assessments, prescribes
treatment, oversees removals and
participates in public hearings on issues
related to trees within the right of way.
The Division routinely responds to
residents’ inquiries and requests for tree
related services. During 2015, personnel
removed 47 dead, diseased and/or
hazardous street trees and responded to
107 emergency removals as a result of
storm-related tree damage impacting
roads or other public properties.
Vegetation Management Program
The Division oversees the Town’s
vegetation management program that is
permitted annually by the Massachusetts
Department of Agricultural Resources
Pesticide Bureau. This program allows
the Division to apply best management
practices for the control of curbside
vegetation that otherwise would grow
uncontrollably and require the
commitment of substantial and sustained
labor to control unwanted growth. A
landscape crew maintains approximately
80 locations in Town requiring mowing,
mulching, weeding and watering on a
consistent basis.
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Public Works 134
SANITATION DIVISION
The Division is responsible for managing
the Town’s solid waste; overseeing the
curbside solid waste and recycling
programs; containerized collections at
condominiums and municipal facilities; as
well as the Recycling Drop-Off Center
(RDC) on Mount Wayte Avenue and the
Yard Waste Drop-Off on Dudley Road.
The Division fielded requests from
residents to exchange their recycling carts
to a larger size, totaling 417 exchanges,
drop-offs, or other issues resolved.
Approximately 6,725 permits were sold
providing resident’s access to the Drop-
Off Centers. In addition to the hazardous
and difficult to manage wastes collected at
the RDC, the center collected 600 tons of
recyclables. Through fees collected for
services and marketing of the recyclables,
$191,811.52 was generated in 2015 for the
General Fund. In January 2016, the
Division increased resident sticker costs
for the first time since 1992.
The Division managed the collection of
refuse and recycling from 15,037 stops
including the tipping of over 35,000
recycling and refuse carts per week.
Curbside recyclables collected totaled
5,035 tons.
Planning for the July transition to
automated trash collection to provide
better cost control and eliminate bagged
refuse included the thorough evaluation of
property listings, reorganization of daily
routes and extensive employee training. In
June, the Division distributed trash carts
Town-wide to residents in preparation of
the program. During and after the
transition, the Division distributed
educational materials, worked closely with
residents to inform them of the program
guidelines and managed enforcement of
the Town’s solid waste policy. Through
educational outreach efforts, 610 trash
cart exchanges have been facilitated.
Eliminating the need for employees to
manually collect refuse on the back of a
truck has decreased the potential for
workplace injuries.
Additionally, carts are equipped with a
radio frequency identification system
(RFID) allowing the Town to track what
address that each cart is assigned to and
how often and what time of day they are
serviced. This continues to be a valuable
tool for the Town to maintain contractor
accountability to ensure the proper
delivery of service has been performed.
The Division works aggressively to
research and develop new techniques in
managing waste that cut costs, improve
efficiency and further develop the Town’s
recycling programs. Some of these
approaches include:
Planning and preparations to assume
responsibility for the automated
curbside collection of recyclable
materials. Once the Division’s five
year contract for recycling collection
expires in June 2016, it will begin to
perform the collection with in-house
resources. This will allow for more
control, accountability and better
customer service.
Continuing to facilitate competitive
bidding on solid waste contracts to
save money and improve services.
Attainment of additional waste
reduction grants from the
Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection (MassDEP)
such as the recently awarded
MassDEP Sustainable Materials
Recovery Program Grant.
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Public Works 135
Monitoring school recycling programs
that use reusable trays and silverware
in their cafeterias that eliminate the
need for disposable polystyrene trays.
Participating schools are Brophy
Elementary, McCarthy Elementary
and Woodrow Wilson Elementary.
Continuing the sale of natural mulch
and compost to homeowners and
landscapers at reduced rates. This
helps to reduce disposal costs, raise
additional revenues for the Town and
create a full circle recycling loop.
These materials are provided at no
cost to other Town Departments
allowing them significant financial
savings. The Division has provided
these materials for various Town
projects such as at the Recycling
Drop-Off Center itself, as a soil
amendment in athletics fields,
landscaping at Town-owned buildings
and other various roadway projects
throughout Town.
Monthly public education events and
programs are offered to residents at
no additional cost and include
Household Hazardous Waste Day,
which drew close to 200 vehicles;
Earth Day Celebration; Town-wide
Green-Up Day; and two of our most
popular events; the Shred Fest (secure
confidential document shredding) and
the Electronics Take Back Day. While
allowing the Town to properly recycle
and dispose of thousands of pounds
of discarded electronics, Electronics
Take Back Day has allowed the Town
to donate non-perishable food items
to United Way Tri-County Food
Pantry located in Framingham as
participating residents are encouraged
to make a non-perishable donation.
WATER AND WASTEWATER
DIVISION
The Division is responsible for the
distribution of a public potable water
supply and the provision of fire
suppression service to Framingham’s
18,000 residential and commercial users as
well as a wastewater collection service for
the 70,000 residents of the Town.
An average daily water demand of nearly 7
million gallons per day is purchased from
the Massachusetts Water Resources
Authority (MWRA) and then distributed
through a complex system of pumps,
pipes, valves, and reservoirs. The
Division also provides for the
maintenance and repair to the water
distribution infrastructure that includes:
275 miles of pipe, 18,000 service
connections, 2,000 hydrants, 4,800 gate
valves, 22,000 meters, 4 pumping stations,
3 booster stations and 6 above ground
water tanks having a storage capacity of
nearly 9 million gallons.
Wastewater responsibilities include the
collection and transport of 5-10 million
gallons of wastewater each day, a
significant portion of which during peak
periods is wastewater flow infiltration and
inflow from sources such as leaking pipes
and sump pump discharges during wet
weather. The Town’s wastewater
collection system consists of 226 miles of
gravity mains, 18 miles of force mains, 44
pump stations, 6,600 manholes and over
40 miles of cross-country sewer-line
easements. Wastewater is conveyed from
the Town to the MWRA, which is charged
with the transport and treatment of
wastewater from its forty-three member
communities.
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Public Works 136
Capital improvement programs have been
substantially under-funded in recent
decades, and, as a consequence, critical
infrastructure has experienced ever
increasing incidents of failure. The
infrastructure continued to grow and
expand over time, but the funding did not
keep pace with capital needs. As a
consequence, the Division was historically
engaged solely in performing unscheduled
maintenance and was unable to devote
resources to perform critical preventative
maintenance to the system. This is
underscored by the issuance of an
Administrative Consent Order (ACO) and
Notice of Noncompliance by the
Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection (MADEP)
during 2007. The ACO requires the Town
to undertake major sewer construction
and rehabilitation projects over several
years with the primary focus of alleviating
reoccurring sanitary sewer overflows, a
violation of State and Federal law. The
last specifically identified project from the
ACO was completed on schedule before
the end of 2013. The ACO included
several other requirements including
increased staffing levels, major equipment
purchases, implementation of a
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
(SCADA) system to remotely monitor and
control pumping stations and strict
reporting requirements. The Division is
awaiting DEP’s review of the Sump Pump
Elimination Plan that will likely result in
additional enforcement action.
In recent years, a professional and
knowledgeable workforce has been
developed. This has provided an
opportunity to identify and fully carry out
capital projects of limited scope from
design through construction using in-
house staff. This practice not only
provides the Town with a significant cost
savings over contracting for these
services, but is used as a tool for
continually training our employees. This
year, approximately 2,130 feet of water
and/or wastewater infrastructure was
replaced using this approach on Central
Street, Church Street, Dyer Street and
Kendall Lane.
The Division also faces the continuing
challenges of managing a second
Administrative Order originally issued by
the Massachusetts Water Resources
Authority in 2003. The MWRA
Settlement Agreement limits the level of
sulfide that the Town is authorized to
discharge to the MWRA system through
operational efforts. Sulfide generation can
cause odor and corrosion problems in
sewers, which sometimes can be
catastrophic. Activities performed to
mitigate the generation of sulfide include:
chemical dosing at selected wastewater
pumping stations; targeted collection
system cleaning and inspection; and
enforcement of grease interceptor
requirements at food establishments. A
major cause of sulfide is the wastewater
detention time associated with the large
number of pumping stations and miles of
associated sewer force main piping.
During the past five years, the number of
pumping stations has been reduced from
50 to 44 as part of the capital program.
In addition to construction activities,
excavations required for repair of over
313 water system failures and 134 sewer
system failures and; 2,300 first response
calls for customers in need of immediate
assistance were performed. The Division
also completed closed-circuit TV (CCTV)
video inspection of over 94,000 linear feet
of sewer pipe where the conditions were
documented using a remotely controlled
camera unit that traveled through the
pipe. The inspection process revealed
areas of the system that have actual or
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Public Works 137
potential problems that may require repair
or replacement.
Annually, the Division collects drinking
water samples from 15 homes, which are
subsequently analyzed for their lead and
copper content. The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency has set the action level
for lead in drinking water at 15 parts per
billion and copper at 1.3 parts per million,
the level that triggers corrective actions to
be undertaken by the water supplier. The
results of the sampling program have once
again successfully met these goals.
Lastly, the Division performs
approximately 900 bacteriological tests
annually to ensure the quality and
protection of the Town’s drinking water.
The Town maintained continuous
compliance throughout the year with the
Environmental Protection Agency’s
standards related to bacteria testing (Total
Coliform Rule).
Conservation and Open Space
Division
The Conservation and Open Space
Division is responsible for administering
conservation land acquisition; overseeing
wetland protection; providing
administrative and technical advisement to
the Conservation Commission and other
Town departments; managing over 400
acres of conservation land; environmental
reviews and guidance for environmental
projects in support of the Conservation
Commission; overseeing the Framingham
Stewardship Program; reviewing proposed
and on-going municipal, private,
commercial and industrial projects;
directing the aquatic management
program; and providing education and
outreach to residents. The Division also
conducts site inspections, attends
pertinent meetings and represents the
Conservation Commission in legal
matters.

FLEET, FACILITIES AND
COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION
The Fleet, Facilities and Communications
Division continues to provide critical
support services for vehicle and
equipment maintenance support to the
Department and other Town agencies.
This Division is accountable for: the
development and implementation of
professional fleet management standards
and practices; the design and procurement
of all public works vehicles and
equipment; and for providing
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Public Works 139
standardized maintenance management
practices for all public works facilities
including water, wastewater and pumping
stations. The Division is also charged with
the technical management of the
telecommunications network that
provides a critical service component to
the Department’s Emergency
Management Response Plan.
The Division provides logistical support
to the Department through the provision
of fully operational equipment, facilities
and telecommunications that together,
ensure the effective and efficient delivery
of essential services to the residents of the
community and continues to be one of
three major equipment and materials
cache sites for the Northeast Homeland
Security Regional Advisory Council
(NERAC).
Fleet Management
During the year, the Division researched,
designed and prepared specifications for
the procurement of the following
specialized equipment: one slide-in sander
assembly with controls; one
backhoe/loader with plow; one 33,000
gross vehicle weight (GVW) construction
body truck; one 70,000 GVW Vactor unit;
one 18,000 GVW camera truck; two
15,000 GVW cab and chassis trucks with
service bodies; five 11,000 GVW cab and
chassis with service bodies and plows; and
two automated refuse packers with plows.
Technician training sessions continued
both in-house and off-site, which included
Ford training, Comp U Spread sander
control training and automated refuse
packer training to help keep technicians
current with the ever changing industry.
The Parts Manager, along with other Fleet
Services personnel, has completed the
Hoisting Engineer Refresher Course that
is mandated by the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
This past winter was the ninth winter
season that a temporary site setup has
been utilized by the technicians who are
assigned to be on the north side of Town
during snow and ice events. This
continues to work well in providing the
technicians a closer proximity to make
repairs while reducing a vehicle’s time out
of service that would occur if returning to
the Western Avenue facility on the south
side of Town.
The Division wrote 1,810 repair orders,
performed 418 scheduled preventative
maintenance services, completed 221
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Registry
of Motor Vehicles Enhanced Emissions
State Inspections and managed the
acquisition and distribution of more than
295,500 gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel.
Facility Maintenance
This year the Western Avenue fuel site
was upgraded to meet the Department of
Environmental Protection’s new
mandates including a new concrete pad
over the fuel storage tanks, upgrading of
existing fueling pipe lines and tank fill
assemblies and the annual calibration of
the fuel pumps were completed. The
oil/water separators at Western Avenue
and the Mount Wayte Recycling Facility
continue to be inspected quarterly and
pumped out in compliance with DEP
regulations, at a minimum, annually, or
sooner, if needed. The Division continued
to perform full load tests on the
emergency/standby generators at both the
Henry Street and Western Avenue
facilities. This was done quarterly to insure
proper operation along with a semi-annual
maintenance program. The annual fire
sprinkler inspection was performed at the
Mount Wayte Recycling and the Western
Avenue Facilities.
The first phase of the emergency
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Public Works 140
(SCADA) communications network at the
Western Avenue Facility was completed in
the fall. The second phase of the project
began in November and is scheduled to
be completed in early 2016. The second
phase will be a Point to Point (PTP)
Microwave Radio Backhaul Network. This
project includes microwave dish sites at
Framingham Public Works, Framingham
Police Department and Massachusetts
State Police headquarters. This will
increase network capacity, system
reliability, reduce system downtime, and
reduce reoccurring telephone line monthly
costs.
The Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasure Plans (SPCCP) continue
to be reviewed annually to ensure
accuracy. This plan is necessary so that
guidelines are in place to respond to any
type of uncontrolled release of hazardous
materials. This plan also includes all of the
Town’s pumping stations and the
Recycling Facility.
Monthly inspections continue at the
Watson Place flood station and necessary
repairs are performed.
ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE

COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIVISION
Memorial Building, Room B2| 508-532-5455 |www.ChooseFramingham.com
Community and Economic
Development 2015
The Community and Economic
Development Division (CED) undertakes
a wide variety of projects focused on
protecting and enhancing the quality of
life for Framingham’s residents. The
projects are multi-dimensional, ranging
from promoting homeownership and
strengthening the Town’s tax base to
providing policy analyses and pursuing
mission-related grants. The Division also
promotes the Town as a desirable place in
which to live, shop, work, and invest.
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Planning and Economic Development 144
The Division consists of three
departments: Planning, Zoning Board of
Appeals (ZBA), and Community
Development (CD). While each
department concentrates on different
functions, each coordinates closely with
other departments, as well as with other
municipal division, boards, and
committees.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
Memorial Building, Room B-2
(508)532-5455
Planning@framinghamma.gov
The Planning Department concentrates
on sound planning to promote economic
development and support our residential
neighborhoods. Planners manage a
variety of projects and provide policy
analyses for the Town Manager and Board
of Selectmen. The Department pursues,
and manages mission-related grants while
also providing staff support to town
committees. The Planning Department
coordinates closely with Planning Board
staff on all planning issues.
Economic Development
The Department is committed to
encouraging appropriate economic
development, to support and expand the
tax base and contribute to the fiscal health
of the town. The Planning Department
also supports the implementation of
several plans including the Master Plan,
updated by the Planning Board in 2014,
the 2013 Open Space Plan, the Housing
Plan (2014) and the Strategic Economic
Development Plan (EDIC 2015).
Appropriate Economic Development
The Department targets and promotes the
development of major parcels for
(re)development throughout town. Staff
also engage with businesses with expiring
leases, monitor property that is available
for sale and lease, respond to questions
from individuals and businesses interested
in locating in Framingham, and link
projects to available property. Staff sit on
interdepartmental teams that review
proposed development proposals in order
to facilitate the project through the
various review processes. Staff also serve
as a “front door” to Town resources,
connecting property owners, existing
businesses, and prospective businesses
with other municipal departments.
Major 2015 Planning Department
initiatives include:
Downtown – Central Business
District (CB) zoning enhancements
enabling Transit Oriented
Development (TOD). In October
2015, Town Meeting voted, by
overwhelming margins, to approve
revisions expanding the CB district
and allowing for higher-density, mixed
use development. These votes
reflected substantial staff preparation,
including supervising the completion
of an extensive Metropolitan Area
Planning Council marketing study,
coordinating Roundtable discussions
with business, community, and
development leaders, and extensive
outreach, to educate and learn from
Framingham residents and businesses.
MassPike Exit 12 – completed a
market research project testing the
feasibility of creating a mixed-use
transit center supporting the Tech
Park and 9/90 Corporate Center. The
work informed the drafting of
proposed Corporate Mixed Use
(CMU) zoning, which was presented
to business and community groups in
July 2015. MassDevelopment
provided partial funding for the
project.
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Planning and Economic Development 145
MassPike Exit 13 – Continued
discussion with Natick and MassDOT
on undertaking a study to plan for
encouraging growth in this shared
commercial center, while also
planning for improved MassPike
access. Major study work is projected
to begin in Fall, 2016.
Southeast Framingham – Began work
with MAPC to on a Southeast
Framingham Neighborhood Action
Plan, to coordinate Town
improvements to the Waverly
Street/Beaver Street area. The
Department and MAPC will complete
this study by Spring 2016.
Housing – continued to implement
the Town’s Housing Plan.
The planning and economic development
functions performed by Department staff
are closely interrelated with the work of
the Economic Development Industrial
Corporation (EDIC). Staff and the EDIC
collaborate extensively in order to further
our shared commitment to promote
economic development.
Economic Development Industrial
Corporation (EDIC). The EDIC is
charged with creating a pro-active capacity
to execute activities supporting the
Economic Development Strategic Plan.
Based in part on the Economic
Development Self-Assessment Tool
(EDSAT) it sponsored in 2012, the EDIC
received funding this year for a number of
activities.
The bulk of the funding was designated to
hire a consultant to continue
implementing the 2014 marketing plan, to
help the Town position itself as a
desirable location to live and open a
business. In November 2015 the Town
engaged O’Neill and Associates to
continue the work they began the year
before including publishing a monthly
newsletter, hosting business events, and
increasing the Town’s social media
presence among the region’s businesses,
developers, and influencers.
The Strategic Economic Development
Plan (www.framinghamma.gov/Villages
2015) for the Nobscot and Saxonville
commercial districts was completed in
June 2015. This project provides a
community-supported vision and action
plan for redevelopment in these areas.
EDIC and C&ED staff are now working
on implementation of the
recommendations in that plan.
Additional funds have been used to
acquire business data subscriptions and
memberships and to provide training
opportunities for EDIC and CED staff.
The EDIC commissioned a
comprehensive employment report from
the MetroWest Economic Research
Center with a major event in June focused
on discussion of the trends and had a
panel including Senator Spilka and leaders
from major employers. The EDIC also
hosted a successful event for downtown
businesses, to network and learn about the
Town’s plans for Downtown streetscape
improvements.
EDIC and CED have created an
internship program in conjunction with
Framingham State University in order to
take advantage university resources while
advancing Town economic development
objectives - with minimal impact on the
municipal budget. In 2015, EDIC interns
undertook a number of projects including
www.ChooseFramingham.com website
updates, creation of a home improvement
guide, and researched the creative
economy & temporary office markets.
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Planning and Economic Development 146
CED and the EDIC work closely with the
MetroWest Chamber of Commerce and
the MetroWest 495 Partnership, which are
both strong and effective allies in our
efforts to strengthen the Town’s tax base.
We also maintain strong partnerships with
state and regional agencies as well as
Framingham Downtown Renaissance.
Promotion
Consistent with the Economic
Development Strategic Plan, a concerted
effort is underway to market Framingham
in order to encourage individuals, families
and firms to locate, invest, and shop here.
Planners continue to develop the
www.chooseframingham.com website,
as well as a twitter account @ChooseFram
(900+ followers) and a Facebook page
through which events and positive stories
are broadcast.
Downtown Revitalization
Building on planning efforts dating to
2009, the Planning Department
coordinates and supports several efforts
to promote revitalization and TOD.
In addition to coordinating Roundtable
discussions and MAPC research on
promoting Transit Oriented
Development, in 2015 the CED worked
closely with other departments on
permitting and other business issues in the
Downtown. CED also provides funding
to Framingham Downtown Renaissance,
which promotes the Downtown and
works directly with area businesses.
CED also coordinates with other Town
departments on infrastructure planning.
The Town also began implementing a
state-funded plan creating vehicular and
pedestrian improvements to address
traffic flow and improve safety along the
Concord Street. These plans also include
major streetscape improvements to
beautify the downtown and help entice
visitors to the district. Initial construction
began in Fall 2014 and continued
throughout 2015.
The long-term plan, to introduce a grade
separation into the downtown, is a priority
Town project on the Metropolitan
Planning Organization’s Long Range
Transportation Plan (LRTP).
Framingham Downtown Renaissance
CED staff works closely with
Framingham Downtown Renaissance
(FDR), a non-profit organization focused
on the revitalization of our commercial
areas. Staff participate in public board of
directors meetings, to provide support
and ensure collaboration between FDR
and Town efforts and policies. In
addition to staff support, in FY15, CED
contributed $51,000 in Community
Development Block Grant funds to
further the goals of FDR.
Under the leadership of Executive
Director Holli Andrews, FDR 2015
activities focused on design, downtown
promotion, and organization. In design,
FDR launched the Front Door
Framingham project by commissioning
local resident painter Sorin Bica for the
creation of an inviting gateway mural
spanning the brick wall of a building
facing Routes 126 and 135.
In promotion, FDR organized the
inaugural celebration of Park(ing) Day
that converted on-street parking into
public spaces. FDR continued to sponsor
its annual Winter Wonderland, to
promote downtown shopping over the
holidays. It also organized the “Six Mile
Moment,” an event connecting marathon
spectators to local businesses.
Under its organization banner, FDR
collaborated with established partners to
create interest in the downtown, as well as
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Planning and Economic Development 147
to sustain small businesses by engaging
with them on issues of safety, crime, and
downtown construction. FDR maintained
and expanded its online presence, through
its Facebook pages, Twitter feed and its
website fdrms.org.
Technical Review Team
The Department supports in a multi-
departmental approach to ensuring timely
and efficient project permitting. The
team, including representatives of all
permitting parties (Planning Board,
Inspectional Services, etc.) meets with
project proponents to identify permitting
requirements, identify issues, and track the
timely resolution. The approach
promotes appropriate economic
development by boosting the
predictability & timeliness of the Town’s
permitting processes.
Neighborhood Commercial Areas
The Planning Department continued its
efforts to encourage and facilitate the
revitalization of several neighborhood
commercial areas. . CED and the EDIC
also completed work on a Villages 2015
plan for the commercial centers in
Nobscot and Saxonville. This effort
included substantial community outreach.
In each neighborhood, the department
completed three community meetings, as
well as a post-completion review in
November 2015.
Brownfields
Framingham has a considerable number
of brownfields, which are properties that
contain or potentially contain hazardous
substances, pollutants or contaminants
that complicate the property’s refinancing
for expansion or redevelopment.
Brownfields are not only a blighting
influence on their surroundings, but are
typically underutilized, thereby
representing enormous potential to
generate significant new property taxes
once they are abated or it is established
that that they are not contaminated.
Since 2008, the Department secured and
administered two $200,000 EPA grants to
identify, abate, and eventually redevelop
brownfields. The Planning Department
was awarded an additional $400,000 grant
in May 2012, allowing us to continue the
Brownfields Revitalization Program.
The Program involves identifying and
targeting sites, interfacing with property
owners, and working with a licensed site
professional (LSP) hired by the division to
conduct environmental site assessments
(ESAs) of selected properties.
This year, Brownfields funds also helped
the Town investigate a number of Town-
owned properties in preparation for
offering them for sale to the State for a
New MassBay Community College
Campus. In addition the funds are being
used for an ongoing study of the
brownfields redevelopment potential in
South East Framingham, as a
complementary investigation to the work
MAPC is doing in the same area. This
report will finish in Spring 2016 and the
grant will wrap up in September 2016.
Residential Neighborhoods
While economic development initiatives
support residential neighborhoods by
generating additional taxes, the Planning
Department enhances these efforts by
undertaking projects that protect and
improve Framingham’s neighborhoods.
The Department continued to respond to
a Board of Selectmen policy placing a
priority on encouraging homeownership
and targeting efforts to vulnerable
neighborhoods. Both the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) and
HOME Programs are focused on
improving neighborhoods. The CD
Coordinator serves on the Town’s Code
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Planning and Economic Development 148
Enforcement Task Force, linking federally
funded rehabilitation programs to Town
neighborhood improvement efforts.
Policy Analyses, Studies, Project
Management, and Special Projects
CED undertakes projects, prepares policy
analyses, and coordinates inter-
departmental projects. Some of these
2015 projects include the following:
Open Space and Recreation Plan
Implementation Working Group
(OSRPIWG)
The Planning Department staffs the
OSRPIWG, which is charged with
implementing the 2013 Open Space and
Recreation Plan (OSRP). In 2015, final edits
were made to the 2013 OSRP and the
plan was officially approved by EOEA.
Staff closed out a $400,000 LAND grant
which was used to successfully purchase
the Snow Property at 95 Wayside Inn
Road, which became Town conservation
land. Additionally, staff continued due
diligence work associated with the Nyanza
grant to buy conservation easements along
the Sudbury River, coupled with land
donations. Roughly $300,000 is expected
to be granted to the Town in the end for
this open space project.
Staff from CED, Planning Board, and the
Conservation Commission continued to
collaborate on the Town’s Open Space
Strategy meeting regularly to discuss
opportunities to advance the open space
priority list. In 2015, Town meeting voted
to establish a new Open Space &
Conservation Special Purpose Account, to
support these efforts, with an allocation of
$75,000.
Transportation
CED works closely with DPW to insure
that Framingham’s transportation
improvement priorities are identified on
the state’s Transportation Improvement
Plan (TIP), a prerequisite for federal and
state funding. The Senior Planner serves
as the Town’s TIP Coordinator. This
year, Town staff worked to continue
moving TIP-eligible projects forward
based on priorities identified in 2014 by
the TIP Committee and ratified by the
Selectmen in January 2015. The Union
Avenue Corridor is the Town’s current
priority project and was submitted for TIP
evaluation at the end of 2015.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning
CED recognizes a need for a
comprehensive look at better
accommodating bicycle and pedestrian
access throughout Town. CED staff is
leading an interdepartmental team,
including DPW and Planning Board staff,
to prepare a document that can guide
Town investment in alternative
transportation infrastructure. The team
met numerous times in 2015 to continue
creation of this plan, prioritize roadways
for bike/ped improvements, and advance
Complete Streets support. The Selectmen
endorsed the Town’s first Complete
Streets Policy in January 2015.
Bruce Freeman Rail Trail (BFRT)
The Department manages the planning
process to develop the Framingham
component of the proposed 35-mile rail
trail that will extend from Lowell to
Framingham. The Department, along
with the Town Manager, has been
working with the Town of Sudbury, CSX,
and the Trust for Public Land on
advancing this project. Activities included
conducting a site visit of the corridor,
attending meetings with the parties
involved, and considering appraisal and
funding mechanisms.
Aqueducts
Department planners continue to be
actively engaged in improving public
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Planning and Economic Development 149
access to the Weston and Sudbury
Aqueducts. CED staff attended P&R-run
public meetings on the next segment of
the Weston Aqueduct to be opened
(Edgell Road to Lyman Road).
Zoning Recodification
Department planners participated in the
Zoning Bylaw Recodification process,
alongside Town Counsel, the Building
Commissioner, Planning Board, and
Town Manager. Town meeting accepted
the many changes (table of uses,
definitions, site plan review, etc.) during
the Annual and fall Special Town
Meetings.
Sustainability Planning
This year, the Department worked on a
number of Sustainability Initiatives. CED
successfully transitioned the Green
Communities initiative to Capital Projects
& Facilities Management Division in
2015. Staff attended the Framingham
Earth Day Festival in April 2015, to share
information & address questions related
to energy and explain the
Department/Town’s goals. The
Department also developed a new
‘Sustainability’–

mingham.
Subsidized Housing Inventory (SHI)
The Planning Department monitors the
Town’s status on the Commonwealth’s
Subsidized Housing Inventory, to ensure
that Framingham’s subsidized housing
units are accurately and fully counted.
The Town’s SHI remains in excess of
10%, which limits the applicability of
Chapter 40B Comprehensive Permits
(subsidized housing development that is
not subject to municipal Zoning Codes).
In 2015, Department planners worked
with Planning Board staff on proposed
revisions intended to enhance affordable
housing.
State and Federal Grants
The Planning Department constantly
identifies and analyzes the applicability of
grants as well as researches the availability
of funding for specific projects. In 2015,
CED secured:
$53,600 from the State to purchase
conservation land (Nyanza)
50,000 from District Local Technical
Assistance (DLTA) for a Southeast
Framingham planning study
The Department was unsuccessful in the
Brownfields Assessment Grant submitted
in 2014, but staff applied for another
$400,000 Brownfields Assessment Grant
in December 2015.
CED also collaborated closely with the
South Middlesex Opportunity Council,
FDR, and the Metrowest Chamber of
Commerce, to develop a proposal to the
state’s Urban Agenda grant program.
The December 2015 submission
proposed a training workshop series,
microfinancing, and related activities
supporting small and new businesses in
the downtown area. The state’s
Executive Office of Housing and Urban
Development announced a $125,000
grant award in January, 2016.
CED and the Planning Board continue
active participation in MetroWest Moves,
a partnership between Framingham,
Hudson, and Marlborough &
Northborough, to advance healthy
communities. Development of a
Complete Streets Prioritization Tool and
recommendations to advance Complete
Streets was completed in 2015 with
assistance through the Community
Innovation Challenge grant and DLTA
funds (grants awarded in 2014).

ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
Memorial Building, Room B2
(508)532-5456 zba@framinghamma.gov
The Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) is
the Permit Granting Authority and the
Special Permit Granting Authority for
projects that do not meet the
requirements of the Town’s Zoning
Bylaw. The ZBA’s function is to approve
or deny requests for appeals, variances,
and special permits, and issue findings
through the public hearing process by
determining if the required criteria, as
stated in the Zoning Bylaw, have been
met. The ZBA also administers the
Comprehensive Permit process for
affordable housing as set forth under
M.G.L. Chapter 40B.
The ZBA is a three-member Board
appointed by the Selectmen. In 2015, Full
Members of the Board were Philip R.
Ottaviani, Jr., Chair; Susan S. Craighead,
Vice-Chair; and Stephen E. Meltzer,
Clerk. Edward (Ted) Cosgrove, Kevin
Gatlin, Joseph Norton, and Robert Snider
served as Associate Members. Mr.
Norton joined the Board in July 2015.
Marianne Iarossi continued the duties of
ZBA Administrator. Ms. Iarossi prepared
the Board’s decisions and advised the
Board on procedural and other issues.
Sam Scoppettone was hired in October to
take over ZBA Administrator duties, as
Ms. Iarossi was promoted to Senior
Planner. Heidi Bryce continued her duties
as Administrative Assistant. Town
Counsel advised the Board as required.
Total filing fees in 2015 amounted to
$21,150. These funds go directly into the
General Fund.
Sixty-two petitions were filed with the
ZBA office in 2015. These 62 cases
represent two fewer than the 64 cases
processed in 2014. Of the 62 cases heard
in 2015, 26 were requests for variances, 34
for special permits, 1 for findings, and 5
appeals of the decision of the Building
Commissioner. Some petitions contain
multiple requests. Variance and special
permit requests included those for relief
from dimensional requirements for:
construction of, and additions to, single
family homes; placement of sheds on
residential properties; construction of
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Planning and Economic Development 151
two-family residences and automotive and
restaurant uses; and changes of use for
local businesses. Some of these filings
were the outcome of changes in zoning
districts in past years resulting in non-
conforming lots.
Three Associate Members presided over
sign appeal applications, with a fourth
Alternate Member. 20 sign applications
were filed in 2015.
The Board generally meets on the second
Tuesday of every month at 7:00 P.M. in
the Blumer Room. Members of the
public are welcome to attend.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DEPARTMENT
Memorial Building, Room B-3
(508)532-5457
nsaj@framinghamma.gov
The Community Development
Department manages and administers the
Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) and the Home Investment
Partnership Act (HOME) funds the Town
receives from the US Department of
Housing and Urban Development. These
monies fund projects, programs and
services, which benefit low and moderate
income persons, and develop and
maintain affordable housing for our most
needy populations. CD is staffed by two
full-time and one part-time position.
During FY2015, the Town received
$482,021 in CDBG funds and $263,105 of
HOME funds. The following summarizes
major accomplishments during 2015:
Housing Rehabilitation Assistance
Program (HRAP)
The HRAP program provided technical
assistance and rehabilitation loans for
emergency repairs and substantial
rehabilitation to homes of income-eligible
homeowners. In 2015, the HRAP
program assisted three eligible
households. CD also entered into
contract with a new Housing
Rehabilitation Consultant to provide
construction oversight of the homes the
department repairs. He will inspect
rehabilitation projects as they are
completed. CD also established a
partnership with the town’s Building
Department so that it markets the HRAP
program to property owners fined under
the Code Enforcement/Neighborhood
Improvement Program.
Code Enforcement & Neighborhood
Improvement
Based on the need to arrest deterioration
and improve targeted low-income
neighborhoods, CDBG funds pay for
housing code inspections in designated
neighborhoods. In 2015, 403 inspections
were conducted, and 346 cases were
resolved. This program works in tandem
with the Code Enforcement Task Force, a
multi-departmental team that conducts
monthly site visits of the neighborhoods
to develop solutions and improvements
from a holistic, inter-disciplinary
approach.
Public Facilities Improvements:
In 2015, CDBG funded public facilities
improvements:
Carey Baseball Phase II – Removal of
non-conforming bleachers and
installation of ADA compliant ones
with path and parking on the facility’s
west side
John J. Gallagher Drive – Road and
sidewalk installations and add
accessible curb cuts
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Planning and Economic Development 152
Economic Development & Façade/
Sign Improvement Program
In 2015, CDBG funds supported the
FDR Main Street Executive Director
position. In the past year, FDR provided
assistance to 45 local businesses that serve
area residents. In addition, FDR
highlighted downtown businesses and
increased the customer base to the area,
most notably through the Boston
Marathon “Six Mile Moment.” CD
continues to recruit downtown businesses
to participate in the Façade/Sign
Improvement Program and is doing so in
partnership with FDR. Program funds
help merchants develop signs that
maximize their business identification and
branding while improving the appearance
of the downtown commercial district.
Public Services
CDBG funds subsidized five public
services activities serving 365-low and
moderate-income residents. The
following programs were funded:
Community Connections Summer Work
Program, a summer employment and
counseling program for teens; Resiliency
for Life, an enrichment program for at-
risk high school students; H.O.P.E., an
academic and job search assistance
program for 14-21 year old residents of
the Pelham II Apartments; Literacy
Unlimited, a training program for non-
native English speakers, and Framingham
Adult ESL Plus, an English-as-a-Second
Language program.
Subsidized Housing Support
In 2015, HOME funds paid for exterior
masonry and roof repairs to six studio
units in Bethany Hill Place. The units are
occupied by households with incomes at
50% or less of area median income. The
Congregation of the Sisters of Saint
Joseph of Boston, the facility’s operator,
in fulfillment of HOME regulation
requirements has agreed to impose a five-
year affordability restriction on the
property, preserving assisted units for low
income town residents.

METROWEST REGIONAL TRANSIT AUTHORITY (MWRTA)
160 Waverly Street, Framingham, MA 01702| 508-935-2222 |ed@mwrta.com
The MetroWest RTA was created by a
vote of the Framingham and the Ashland
Boards of Selectman in December of
2006. By the summer of 2007, seven
additional communities had joined, a
budget and fares were put in place, and an
Administrator was hired to oversee the
daily operation of the LIFT which had
been under the Framingham Planning
Department.
MWRTA “fixed route” service was then
initiated on December 1st, 2007 with a
new contracted provider and 10 new
buses obtained from Federal and State
grants. At the same time, the MWRTA
was paying the MBTA to continue its
RIDE service in the Framingham and
Natick area.
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Planning and Economic Development 153
In 2008, the original Framingham LIFT
and the Natick Neighborhood bus routes
were integrated into a unified transit
system. That year, Marlborough and
Southborough joined MWRTA,
expanding demand response service
delivery by 2,000 rides a month.
In 2009, the Authority, through a Federal
grant, expanded again to create a link to
the Woodland MBTA Station in Newton
(Route #1) setting the stage for using the
Charlie Card system wide. Additionally,
the Authority took over the MBTA’s
RIDE provision in Framingham and
Natick expanding again the demand
response provision by another 5,000 rides
a month.
In 2010, the Authority, using state and
federal funds, purchased and rehabilitated
a facility at 37 Waverly St. which had
served as the “Hub” and maintenance
depot for the system. In 2011, Wellesley
joined the Authority as its 12th member.
Additionally the MWRTA began
collaboration with Framingham State
University, supporting a student operated
system with capital and training that is
fully funded by the University.
In 2013, the MWRTA purchased the 15
Blandin Ave facility from SMOC and has
identified $10 million in federal and state
funds to rehab it and plan for intermodal
applications to the commuter rail. The
Town of Dover has also joined the
Authority.
In July, 2015 the Authority moved into
the 15 Blandin Ave facility. A CDL
program, created through an earmark
sponsored by Sen. Spilka, continues to
flourish. Towns of Hudson and Milford
joined, bringing the total member of
communities up to 15.
The MWRTA will continue to build upon
the over 650,000 rides provided in FY15
by using technology, an emphasis on
customer service and the more effective
and efficient delivery of transportation
service. For further details and for real
time transit options and customer service,

preventive maintenance, as well as
securing funds for many modernization
projects. The Memorial House
renovations were completed in 2015 with
monies from the Department of Housing
& Community Development. In the state
705 family program (Pelham) the FHA’s
fifty eight units are undergoing total
renovations over the next two (2) years.
Ten (10) units in our St Lo state family
portfolio were rehabbed with new
kitchens and baths. In our State elderly
units the Authority is replacing the
original baths and kitchen from 1962 as
they become vacant. We have completed
drainage and stucco projects in our
Federal family developments. The Federal
elderly development heating systems were
replaced in 50 units and the remaining
sixty (60) units will be completed in 2016.
On Brady Drive two roofs were replaced
as part of our continual preventive
Maintenance and sustainability Program.
State Funded Housing
The Framingham Housing Authority
administers 249 units of two- and three-
bedroom state-aided family public
Housing. The 110 units at the Musterfield
Development is a tax Credit property.
Oran Rd is a development of 12 one-
bedroom units designed to house “empty
nesters” who are currently over-housed.
The FHA has 536 one-bedroom units for
elderly/disabled Housing. The Authority

Due to the success of the pilot opening of
the Weston Aqueduct trail, the
Department has continued to expand its
passive recreation offerings to the
community. We have extended the
Weston Aqueduct by heading north from
Elm Street to the Sudbury River border
with Wayland. We have also continued
community outreach with neighbors from
Edgell Road to Grove Street in
anticipation of opening that section of the
Aqueduct soon.
The Sudbury Aqueduct trail (Winter St. to
Dudley Rd.) continues to get good use
and positive feedback from the neighbors.

The Recreation Department provides
programs geared toward a varied
population including adults, youth,
seniors, preschool and those with special
needs. Services are provided through a
combination of user fees and public tax
dollars. During the past year, we offered
302 various sessions in over 141 different
program categories. New programs
included adaptive swim lessons, thunder
cat sports, adult archery, drama kids and
micro wheels. A new online registration
software package by My Rec was
implemented and has improved the
registration and notification process
tremendously.
The Town and the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts Department of
Conservation entered into a 5 year

The 2015 Rec Centers were very popular;
they were located at Potter Road School
and, for the first time, at the Bowditch
Athletic Complex. An extended day
program was offered for working parents
and a fourth session consisting of one
week was also offered at Bowditch. Our
numbers increased significantly over
recent summers. The major field trips
were Kimball Farm, Boston Duck Tour,
and Canobie Lake Park.
Grants that enhanced our 2015 programs
included the Department of Conservation
and Recreation for the Massachusetts Park
Pass; and the United States Department
of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service
provided free breakfast and lunch for the
Recreation Special Needs Program. In
addition, we thank the Sudbury River
Tennis Club for their generous donation
to help defray the cost of the summer
tennis lessons. Additionally, Friends of
Framingham Recreation was able to grant
numerous scholarships for Recreation
Programs to families in need.
For the sixth year, we managed the ever
popular “Friday Night Concerts on the
Green.” The eight week schedule of local
talent included the sounds of Playing
Dead, JC Enfusion, Tom Nutile Big Band,
Metro, The Bruce Katz Band, RPS, the
Loomers and SLO Grass. The weather
prevented the Beatles Tribute Band;
Studio Two from performing, but they
will return next year. We are grateful to
the many sponsors who made this event
possible including grants from the
Framingham Cultural Council and Impact

The department sponsored many special
events this year with assistance of Friends
of Framingham Recreation. The highlights
included the ‘January Thaw’ free skating
and hot chocolate at Loring Arena, Egg-

We would like to thank the Town
Selectmen, Town Meeting Members,
Town Staff and numerous community
volunteers for their support and
dedication. Without their continued
support, we would not be successful in
offering quality programs to the residents
of Framingham.
We welcome input from Town residents
and we value both your feedback and
involvement in our programs.

Parks Maintenance
Our Parks Maintenance Division
continues to provide safe and well
maintained facilities for over 15,000
formally scheduled events each year. The
user groups vary in age and ability and
consist of college and high school athletic
programs, many types and levels of youth
sport programs, as well as corporate
leagues and groups. All of our park
playgrounds and open space passive
recreational areas are maintained under
this program. We are committed to
provide well maintained facilities through
planned maintenance programs. Our field
use scheduling program is supported by
policies and follows our overall Mission
Statement. We continue to use a proactive
approach enabling us to manage our
facilities, to prevent over use, and still
offer greater public access to all our
facilities.
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Recreation and Cultural Affairs 158
We strive to maintain a very high level of
quality on all our high use natural turf
areas. Our program uses a balanced
system of aeration, fertilization, seeding
and mowing along with irrigation in the
most cost effective manner. We continue
to monitor our soil conditions and
provide the necessary nutrient
applications as needed. Our field use
policy works to manage many of our
athletic areas and continues to be an
effective way to control overuse which
helps to decrease field damage in high use
facilities.
We continue to receive surplus requests to
provide additional practice and game field
facilities. The demand is constant and
there are few alternatives. With the closing
of Mary Dennison last year we were
required to find alternative spaces for our
ongoing programs. This required us to
forgo our maintenance policy at a few
areas and put a burden on some fields.
Over use of facilities and the decline in
turf quality is a major concern for us. The
continued strategy of field rotation and
limiting use works well, however we are
being challenged for not having enough
space for all groups. There is a definite
need to look at some long range plans for
future field space, and we are currently
discussing adding synthetic fields to an
area of our inventory. When this happens,
we will still be asked to provide more use
on all our areas. This will still require us to
impact our user groups and shut down
fields for costly renovations.
Our Maintenance Department continues
to provide support to the athletic
programs of three high schools;
Framingham High, Marian High and
Keefe Regional Technical High School.
Other schools that rely on our department
for a portion of their athletic program
needs include Framingham State
University and Mass Bay Community
College. In addition to school athletics,
the department provides scheduling of
facilities for hundreds of other user
groups from the Framingham community.
We are continuing our collaborations with
Keefe Regional Technical School for the
mutual benefit of our department and the
different school labs. This mutually
beneficial relationship provides the Town
of Framingham with access to cost
effective, professionally supervised
electrical, carpentry, plumbing and metal
fabrication, while affording students the
benefit of practical “real world” learning
experiences in a commercial setting. We
are on our third year of offering Keefe
Tech students co-op positions in the
landscape program. This has been very
beneficial program from both entities.
The second phase of the CDBG funded a
project to install handicapped accessible
bleachers at Carey Field and was
completed in the spring of 2015. Both
sides now have accessible handicap
seating.
Through our Capital Budget program, we
were able to purchase one new vehicle.
We were also able to repave the interior
roads of the Edwards Cemetery.
The Capital project of demolishing of the
Butterworth Grandstands came from
reallocations of funding’s from the
previous Butterworth Capitol project of
2012. This removed a large blight to this
neighborhood park and will ready the site
for new handicap accessible bleachers.
Through the cemetery operating budget
we were able to re-construct the mound
tombs at the Main St. Cemetery which
had fallen into disrepair over the many
years. The stabilization of the front
foundations and front walls were
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Recreation and Cultural Affairs 159
necessary after years of settling and stone
movement. These tombs were
constructed back in the late 1700- early
1800’s and required extensive repairs to
properly bring them back to the historical
look of that period.
Our tree maintenance program continues
on an increasing scale, concentrating on
hazardous trees and trees with obvious
structural defects. We have many
properties bordering on neighborhoods
where large trees are impacting our
property lines and creating possible
hazards to houses. We are requesting
increased funding in FY17 to continue
making progress on work required in
these areas. Our town wide beautification
program continues to be a successful
collaboration with our department and
outside groups.
I would like to thank all our volunteers
and volunteer groups that supplied time
and materials on projects this past year.
Their support was invaluable.
We continue to work cooperatively with
other Town departments and thank them
for their continued support. It would be
very difficult for us to achieve the success
we have without their help.

cemeteries.
Due to the limited supply of sites, the
moratorium on the general sale of new
lots is still in effect. The fee schedule for
cemetery associated activities remained
the same in FY2105. The Parks
Maintenance staff continues to perform
grave openings and internment of
cremations, at the cemeteries. We
continue to receive requests for historical
records associated with the cemeteries and
are able to use an electronic database to
promptly respond to most inquiries.
With operational funding, we were able to
successfully complete the restoration of
the Main Street Cemetery Mound Tombs.
The contractor restored the foundations
and the front walls to the four tombs. The
tombs were successfully restored to their
original historic look. We are currently
seeking funds to restore the Mound
Tombs at the Old South Burial Grounds.
The second phase of the project addresses
issues identified in the engineering report.
Phase two will include an $87,294 request
in our FY17 budget. We have identified
the need to continue tree pruning and
removals at the cemeteries and are
requesting these funds for FY17.
The roadway reconstruction Capitol
Project at the Edwards Cemetery was very
successful. The new roadways have made
a significant improvement to the
cemetery.

Loring Arena
Loring Arena is in its 52nd year of
operation. In addition to our normal
services, we are continuing to create a
more user friendly atmosphere by
applying incremental changes to the
facility.
In January of 2015, we replaced all of the
overhead lighting in the arena with 1,000
watt metal halide lights, and the work was
completed entirely by rink staff. Also in
January, Royal Steam cleaned the 3
infrared heating units on the visitor’s side
of the arena. They also replaced the
ignitors and filters to the heaters.
Maintaining these heating units helps keep
them running at maximum efficiency.
In May 2015 the annual Town Meeting
appropriated capital funds to renovate
Loring Arena.
In June a design selection committee was
formed, which included the following
members, Director of Capital Projects &
Facilities Management, Director of Loring
Arena, Director of Parks & Recreation
Cultural Affairs and Deputy Director of
Parks & Recreation. The design selection
committee works with the Town Counsel
and Procurement to finalize and advertise
a request for qualification. There were two
finalists as of July 22, 2015. The
committee unanimously agreed on the
firm of Bargman, Hendrix & Archetype
Inc.
In June 2015, we sent the old Zamboni
out to be repaired and to undergo a
complete paint job; the paint work and
the repairs were completed by
Exceptional Auto Body in Framingham.
Exceptional completely sanded the entire
machine and repaired the panels, bumper
and seat mount that were badly rusting
away due to age and wear. The machine
looks brand new.
In July, 17 pieces of tempered glass
around the rink were replaced with Power
plate. By replacing the Tempered glass
with Power plate tempered glass we
reduce the risk of injury to patrons. If the
glass does break; the Power plate glass will
remain intact like a windshield of a car
and will not shatter and fall. Athletica
Sports Systems helped with the
installation of the glass as well as Parks &
Recreation staff due to the weight of each
pane of glass.
Also in July, we had Northeast
Distributors install a new glycol pump to
the refrigeration system. This system
pumps Glycol out to the floor of the
Arena to freeze the ice. We had the old
pump rebuilt and now have a spare should
we ever need to replace it again. The
Arena staff evacuated the glycol to
shorten the time spent on the job by
Northeast Distributors.
Total gross revenue as of June 30, 2015:
$525,350.74
Total Operational expenditures as of June
30, 2015: $483,131.85
*Does not include health insurance and
debt service
*Revenue is after a loss of $15,404 due to
the impact of severe winter weather,
Easter Sunday, and the Patriots attending

Council on Aging - Callahan
Center
The Raymond J. Callahan Center is a
multi-purpose center offering programs,
activities and services to promote healthy,
successful aging for people 55 and older
and the people who care for them. The
Council on Aging Board assesses the
needs of older adults in the community
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Recreation and Cultural Affairs 161
and advises on programs and services to
meet those needs.
Accomplishments:
An estimated 3,700 individual seniors had
an estimated 36,000 attendances in
activities and programs at the Callahan
Center in 2015, with nearly 12,000 of
those involved in exercise sessions. There
were 2,191 attendances at a variety of
health education sessions, health
screenings and alternative therapies. The
Social Services staff provided nearly 3,595
units of service to nearly 1,147 seniors
ranging from referrals for housing and
transportation, to securing various benefit
programs, along with supportive
counseling. In addition, they connect with
many non–seniors to provide guidance
related to their loved ones who are
seniors. 438 pieces of durable medical
equipment were loaned out free of charge.
The new design of the front entrance,
making it more accessible and improving
the traffic flow to and from the parking
lot was completed in June 2015.
Donations from Mutual One Bank and
the Friends of Callahan provided new
lobby furniture to complete the
transformation.
Outreach efforts were made to 8,512
residents, who had never been to the
Callahan Center to make them aware of
the services and programs available to
them.
The Framingham Cultural Council
provided generous funding for 11
programs of a cultural nature to be
presented at the Callahan Center. The
Friends of Callahan generously provided
matching funding for these programs.
A Title III grant from BayPath Elder
Services made it possible to continue a
volunteer transportation program through
September 2015. State Formula Grant
funds allow the program to extend
beyond that time.
Volunteerism: 500 volunteers donated
more than 11,400 hours to the Center in a
variety of ways: serving on the COA
Board, driving seniors to appointments,
answering phones, working in the
Heritage Gallery shop and helping with
numerous activities at the center. 95 of
these volunteers came from area high
schools, Framingham State University,
Framingham Rotary Club, area businesses,
religious groups, and the community at
large to provide more than 336 hours
specifically to seniors in the community.
The SHINE program volunteered more
than 575 hours to provide more than 719
seniors with information regarding health
insurance.
Multiculturalism
For the first time, seniors from Brazil
joined the Hispanic/Latino Day
celebration to showcase their country
along with other Hispanic cultures.
Latino elders continue to enjoy a weekly
social program and connect with the
Bilingual Outreach Worker for services.
Mandarin speaking seniors receive ESOL
classes twice a week and are participating
in citizenship classes.
New events and happenings in 2015!
The Social Services staff responded to the
needs expressed by caregivers of those
with memory challenges in creating a new
program, Connections at Callahan.
Metrowest Health Foundation provided
generous funding for us to train
individuals to partner with seniors with
memory challenges, making it possible for
them to participate in programs at the
Center without their caregiver present.
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report

Three evidence–based programs were
made available: Matter of Balance,
Diabetes Self-Management and Falls
Prevention. Several new computer classes
were offered: Amazon, Ebay, electronic
greeting cards, Instagram, Picassa,
Pinterest and tips on using iPad and
iPhones. Two types of yoga were
introduced: Kripalu and Yoga Dance.
The Callahan Center made its space
available to the library for several months
for special events and programs that
otherwise might have been canceled, due
to a fire at the main library in October.
We were happy that these events
acquainted some newcomers to the
Center.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Fiscal Year 2016 Budget
The School Committee began the budget
process by taking into account projected
revenues, expected levels of state and
federal funding, and increased expenses
due to Special Education and rising
enrollment. We were also committed to
ensuring that all schools would have the
necessary resources to support
consistently high academic performance
and achievement for all students. With
these considerations, our initial budget for
the school department was $110,685,437.
On April 16, the Committee voted to
submit a revised budget of $109,368,801.
This sum would include monies to
support increased student achievement
and to continue the rebuilding efforts
necessary after budget cuts in prior years.
In late May, Town Meeting approved a
FY’16 budget appropriation of
$109,368,801, which included allocations
for rebuilding (additional technologies),
the opening of a ninth elementary school
due to increased enrollment, professional
development for teachers and staff, and
the addition of assistant principals. The
latter were necessary to ensure compliance
with the new supervision and evaluation
procedures mandated by the Department
of Elementary and Secondary Education.
We formed a town-wide “Financial
Leadership Summit Group” to continue
to enhance our communication with our
town’s financial leaders and advisors.
Legislative Advocacy
This year, the Committee again worked
closely with our Framingham legislative
delegation in advocating for more
resources for Chapter 70 and Circuit
Breaker funding, as well as for bills that
could improve the work of our district.
We thank Senator Karen Spilka and State
Representatives Tom Sannicandro, Chris
Walsh, and Carmen Gentile for their
productive efforts in increasing state
funding received by the town. Through
their efforts, we were able to secure an
extra million dollars in funding. Our
collaboration with our legislators remains
strong and productive.
Chair Beverly Hugo was elected as Vice
President of the Massachusetts
Association of School Committees
(MASC). Jim Stockless was elected Chair
of the Boston Metropolitan Division of
MASC in November, where he will lead
forty towns in school board governance.
In both of these important roles, Hugo
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Education and Libraries 164
and Stockless were able to advocate at the
State House and Capitol Hill for
legislation that would benefit our students.
The School Committee is proud of its
ongoing leadership role in state and
national efforts to increase resources,
efficiencies, and funding for public
education.
Delegate Assembly
Our Resolutions Subcommittee, convened
by Beverly Hugo and with members
Michelle Brosnahan and Jim Stockless,
authored three resolutions that were
passed by the Delegate Assembly of
MASC at their state convention in
November. They included ideas for
eradicating effects of poverty, tying test
scores to Chapter 70 Funding and
providing supports to our homeless
students. MASC is now engaged in a
statewide effort to turn our resolutions
into bills that could become future
legislation.
FPS Policy Manual
The Committee completed a
comprehensive review of our district’s
policies. All policies have been updated
to reflect best current practices, statutory
requirements, and contractual language.
We thank Convener Michelle Brosnahan,
Beverly Hugo, and Jim Stockless, as well
as numerous teachers and Central
Administration staff for their erudite
guidance in its development. Framingham
has been acknowledged as the first district
in the state to approve a Gender Identity
Support Policy, a statement that we affirm
that all students should have a safe and
supportive environment to learn and grow
socially and emotionally.
District Governance Support Project
The entire School Committee, along with
our superintendent, Dr. Stacy Scott,
participated in an intensive six-month
professional development program with
Nancy Walser of the Harvard Graduate
School of Education and Dorothy Presser
of the MASC. During this project, we
learned about the characteristics of high
performing school committees and
developed strategies to ensure effective
and efficient school board governance.
This program received a prestigious
national award, the Shannon Prize, for its
innovation and highly touted turnaround
results. One outcome of our participation
in the District Governance Support
Project was the creation of a School
Committee Member Handbook. An
additional outcome was the formation of a
yearlong agenda, a more efficient planning
tool.
School Committee Member Handbook
For the first time in its history, the
Framingham School Committee
developed a handbook that explains all
the duties, guiding principles, roles, and
responsibilities of being a school board
member. This guide will help new
members become quickly acclimated to
the position and will serve veteran
members as a handy reference tool. Our
Handbook is now being shown
throughout the state by MASC as an
exemplary description of the expectations
and duties of School Committee
members.
Communications
The School Committee remains
committed to continuously and
aggressively broadening the public’s access
to information through the use of ever-
evolving technologies and communication
mechanisms. In this effort, we instituted
the Communications and Public Relations
Task Force, comprising a wide array of
communal stakeholders. The Task Force
was charged with assisting the School
Committee with implementing new
procedures for providing comprehensive
and transparent information to and from
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Education and Libraries 165
all stakeholders. Many of their valuable
suggestions have been incorporated into
our communications plan. One immediate
result was the increased presence on social
media by starting a district Facebook site.
We thank Co-Conveners Jim Stockless
and Greg Palmer and members Dr. Eric
Silverman and Don Taggart, along with
many community members for their
intensive and productive work.
Capital Budget
Fuller/Farley, King and Tutor/Perini
Building - Under the efforts of Convener
Heather Connolly and members Michelle
Brosnahan and Jim Kelly, the Capital
Budget Subcommittee met with Director
of Buildings and Grounds Matt Torti,
Chief Operating Officer Ed Gotgart, and
various Town Officials on numerous
occasions to discuss and develop plans for
solving the many pressing problems
arising from spatial constraints due to
increased enrollment. In September, the
School Department opened a first grade
classroom at the King STEAM
Elementary School (Science, Technology,
Engineering, Arts and Math). Central
Administration moved their operations
from the King to the Tutor/Perini
Building at 73 Mt. Wayte Avenue. At the
end of December, we were pleased to
hear from the Massachusetts School
Building Authority that we would be
recommended to be included in the
Eligibility Study Phase to determine
whether the state would pay the majority
costs of a building a new Fuller Middle
School.
Interest Based Bargaining
After years of traditional bargaining, the
Framingham Teachers Association, the
School Committee, and senior district
leadership agreed to undergo professional
training in Interest-Based Bargaining
through the Rennie Center for Public
Policy. This innovative method was
instrumental in allowing us to reach an
amicable and fair contractual agreement
by the end of the summer. As a result of
the process, we have agreed to meet
regularly during the school year so that
issues can be discussed and resolved in a
timely fashion. The negotiating team
included Beverly Hugo, Jim Stockless,
Don Taggart and alternate Heather
Connolly.
Significant Academic Progress and
Achievement
This past year, all our schools showed
significant student growth percentile
progress on the recent MCAS and
PARCC examinations that were
administered in the spring. It is our hope
that the current strategic vision and
targeted plan (Vision 2020) will result in
the entire district achieving the coveted
“Level 1” accountability status in the near
future.
Our Woodrow Wilson Elementary School
achieved the prestigious status of
“International Baccalaureate Primary
School”.
The Committee Members
In April of 2015, Beverly Hugo and Jim
Kelly were elected to three-year terms to
the School Committee. Andrew Limeri, a
dedicated and exemplary member of the
Board for nine years, retired when his
term expired. At the post-election
reorganization meeting in April, the
School Committee elected Beverly Hugo
as Chair, Heather Connolly as Vice Chair,
and Donald Taggart III as Clerk.
Conclusion
In closing, the School Committee would
like to thank our teachers, staff, and
administration who, despite limited
resources and heightened workload due to
increased state and federal mandates,
continue successfully to serve our
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Education and Libraries 166
students with professionalism and
dedication. We are deeply proud to be a
part of this community-wide effort to
ensure educational excellence for all of
Framingham’s children. We would like to
thank the citizens of Framingham and
their elected Town Meeting members and
officials for their ongoing and unwavering
support of the Framingham Public
Schools.
It is an honor and a privilege to represent
the Framingham community by our
school board governance in advocating
for our outstanding public schools!

SUPERINTENDENT OF
SCHOOLS
Framingham is growing. We continue to
attract new families to Framingham. We
are challenged to meet the need for seats
in our elementary schools as well as to
meet the program needs of our new
students needing language and special
education supports. We are working hard
to improve and enhance our curriculum as
we set higher academic standards for our
schools and expectations for our students.
We continue to focus our attention on
improving student growth and moving
our district ahead on the state
accountability system and we are
thoughtful and intentional about our
future planning for the district, especially
as we address the current and emerging
needs of our students.
Our elementary enrollment has increased
such that the King School that was
reopened in 2014 to relieve enrollment
pressures in other elementary schools is
projected to be at capacity without
providing much relief to the other 8
elementary schools. As a result, we have
had to create new classrooms in many
schools and expand class sizes in existing
classrooms to accommodate our new
students. Many of our new students have
significant gaps in their prior education
while others have special needs that can
best be met by out-of-district placements.
While we have been successful in the past
in developing in-district programs for
these students, we no longer have space to
house additional programs in our
elementary schools. Our middle schools
are beginning to see the impact of several
years of increased elementary school
enrollments with Cameron Middle School
at capacity and Walsh Middle Schools
nearing capacity. While Fuller Middle
School may have space, its design does
not support the team approach used in
middle schools, nor does it have the “curb
appeal” as a building having reached the
end of its useful life as a school. Our
High School is also experiencing
significant new enrollment which presents
a major challenge to the teachers and
administrators who strive to meet the
unique needs of every student at the
school.
The state of the district is strong. There is
great anticipation and excitement as we
learned we have been invited into the
Massachusetts School Building Authority
process for building a school to replace
Fuller.
The US News and World Reports
announced their rankings from data on
high schools within the United States and
schools were awarded gold, silver or
bronze medals based on their
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Education and Libraries 167
performance on state assessments and
how well they prepare students for
college. Framingham High School is
ranked 36th within Massachusetts.
Students have the opportunity to take
Advanced Placement® course work and
exams. The AP® participation rate at
Framingham High School is 47%. There
are 432 public high schools in the state of
Massachusetts. There are over 21,000
public high schools in the United States
and Framingham High School earned the
US News and World Reports ranking of
760th and received a silver medal.
Framingham Public Schools is one of 425
public school districts in the U.S. and
Canada being honored by the College
Board with placement on the 6th Annual
Advanced Placement (AP)® District
Honor Roll for increasing access to AP
course work while simultaneously
maintaining or increasing the percentage
of students earning scores of 3 or higher
on AP Exams. There are approximately
13,588 public school districts in the
United States alone. Reaching these goals
indicates that a district is successfully
identifying motivated, academically
prepared students who are ready for the
opportunity of AP. To be included on the
6th Annual Honor Roll, Framingham
High School had to, since 2013, increase
the number of students participating in
AP while also increasing or maintaining
the number of students earning AP Exam
scores of 3 or higher. Framingham High
School is committed to expanding the
availability of AP courses among prepared
and motivated students of all
backgrounds. Another success at
Framingham High School is that it is one
of 90 public high schools (out of
approximately 21,000) schools in the
country to have been selected by the
Council on International Educational
Exchange (CIEE) to participate in the
2015-2016 Global Navigator Scholarship
Awards for summer study abroad.
The Global Navigator Scholarships
earmarked $20,000 in scholarship dollars
for students from Framingham High
School to make summer study abroad
affordable, regardless of financial need.
Science, technology, engineering, arts and
mathematics (STEAM) programming
pioneers new methods of teaching that
combine disciplines that have been
isolated from one another under
traditional educational models. STEAM
has developed into a robust curriculum at
King Elementary and Fuller Middle
Schools. It is fascinating to watch
students in collaboration with their peers,
become divergent thinkers, problem
solvers and learn perseverance which are
life skills taught through STEAM learning.
As employers seek employees who have
developed these attributes, it will be that
much more vital that our students are
creative and critical thinkers and possess
the skills they are looking for.
The Education Operations Office
(EOO) has been working on
revising the curriculum roll-outs
using teacher feedback to allow
teachers additional time to adapt
and will hold a “Curriculum
Coffee” at every elementary
school this month in order to
provide information and obtain
wider feedback from teachers
before finalizing the plan.
The elementary mathematics
curriculum will be fully standards-
based in 2016-17. Revisions in
social studies curriculum at the
middle school are taking place
with the largest revision in grade 8
to include U.S. History and Civics.
We have established model
classrooms for bilingual education
through a grant with Framingham
State University (FSU). Students
at FSU will come and observe
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Education and Libraries 168
teachers who are experts at
providing instruction in bilingual
education.
While these are only a few of the many
exciting things in motion at the
Framingham Public Schools, I hope this
gives you a sense that great things are
happening, students are being challenged
to excel as we continue to shape the lives
of global citizens with 21st century skills.
ASSISTANT
SUPERINTENDENT
An Administrative Task Force has been
developed this year to not only address
the recommendations of the Framingham
School Committee’s Communication and
Public Relations Task Force, but to also
sincerely improve the level of two-way
communication with our students, staff,
families and community. In Vision 2020:
Excellence and Equity: A Strategic Plan
for Achieving Educational Excellence in
the Framingham Public Schools, our
school community recognized the
importance to “promote community
support for a high-performing system
with appropriate resources, strong
partnerships and broad-based
communication.” This is one of the three
overarching goals of Framingham Public
Schools.
Focus has balanced between internal and
external communications. In a school
community as large and diverse as
Framingham’s, designing/implementing
systems of communication is a time
consuming and multi-layered endeavor.
The following include a few of the
improvements already made: Sharpened
existing website; Framingham Public
Schools Facebook page has been created;
Framingham Public Schools and School
committee Twitter feeds have been
created; Press Release processes have
been revised; District and building
emergency communication protocols have
been developed; Post event
communication with Framingham Police
and Fire Departments has been refined;
Connect-Ed call procedures have been
refined and all anticipated calls have been
pre-recorded in three languages;
Continuous collaboration with Access
Framingham staff has been established to
develop educational programming for the
Framingham community.
The catalyst for improved communication
is the implementation of the Framingham
Public School website. The website will
provide continuous and relevant
information on which the school
community and the community at large
will come to rely. The website is
scheduled for unveiling later this spring.
Dr. Frank Tiano, Assistant Superintendent
BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION
The School Business Office provides
financial and administrative support to the
overall educational program of the School
Department. The primary function of the
office is to provide accounting and
oversight of the Town appropriated
School Department Operating Budget, as
well as Revolving and Special Funds. For
the Fiscal Year 2014-15, the Operating
Budget approved by Town Meeting was
$109,368,801. The Business Office also
manages seventy (70) Revolving and
Special Funds of the School Department
that total $8,900,000, ensuring that the
collection, accounting and distribution of
these funds conform to Town guidelines
as well as sound business practices.
Business Office staff serves thirty-seven
(37) Responsibility Centers by processing
5,100 purchase orders with a value of
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Education and Libraries 169
$39,800,000.
The Business Office is also responsible
for completing and submitting the annual
End of Year Report to DESE which is
the basis for the Town’s receipt of
Chapter 70 Aid to Education that totaled
$33,596,455 for FY15.

EDUCATIONAL
OPERATIONS
Major accomplishments for this
department include continuous coaching
of principals and school leadership teams
around the development of School
Improvement Plans and the revision and
updating of the District Improvement
Plan. The Ed Ops Department also
organizes and manages the robust agenda
for the Aspiring Leaders Academy. The
cohort has enjoyed presentations by
national and international speakers,
including a lecture/roundtable discussion
with Jonathan Kozol and a visit by Carlos
Chardon, the former Secretary of
Education of the Puerto Rico Department
of Education as part of a joint effort with
Framingham State University.
The Office of Curriculum and Instruction
is charged with the continual renewal of
curriculum, promotion of high quality
instructional practices, and overseeing
state and local assessment systems for the
district. These functions align with the
District’s Vision 2020: Equity and
Excellence for all students.
Alignment to the Massachusetts State
Frameworks is critical to the success of
our students. The primary purpose of the
revised Massachusetts Curriculum
Frameworks in English Language
Arts/Mathematics is for all students in the
Commonwealth to be college or career
ready upon high school graduation. An
expectation in all content areas is the
facilitation of students’ ability to think and
reason in order to synthesize complex
information/texts from multiple sources,
back up claims with evidence,
demonstrate reasoning, analyze and
interpret data, and engage in the standards
of mathematical, and science and
engineering practice. These practices
foster the development of 21st century
skills of communication and
collaboration, raise expectations for all
students and are consistent with sheltering
instruction (SI) for English language
learners.
The Framingham English Language Arts
curriculum is fully aligned with the 2011
MA Framework. Reading and writing are
taught using balanced literacy practices,
K-8, and through a sequence of four
required high school courses. Literacy
practices are also defined for the content
areas of social studies and science. Social
studies curriculum is currently being
revised and rolled-out, K-8. History
courses have been revised; three courses
are required for graduation.
The purpose of the Curriculum
Management Team (CMT) is to support
the mission and vision of the Framingham
Public Schools and to make
recommendations to the superintendent
on matters pertaining to teaching and
learning. The CMT oversees and guides all
matters pertaining to teaching and
learning, including curriculum,
professional development, assessment,
and integrating technology. It ensures
quality, uniformity, and consistency in the
content and delivery of instruction. With
curriculum, assessment and professional
development plans developed from
previous years, Departmental Curriculum
Committees (DCCs) were created this
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Education and Libraries 170
year to begin the more content related
work of the CMT. DCCs engage in tasks
related to the review cycle in relationship
to curriculum, professional development,
technology, and assessment. The CMT
meets throughout the year with a meeting
schedule that dovetails with timelines
dictated by the multi-year curriculum
review cycle.
SPECIAL EDUCATION
PROGRAM
The Department of Special Education
provides a broad array of services for
students identified with disabilities from
the ages of three through twenty-two.
The referral, evaluation and placement
procedures are governed by state and
federal special education laws and
regulations, namely, The Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
Framingham Public Schools is committed
to the goal of providing an appropriate
education for students with special needs
in the least restrictive setting. The
following programs and services are
offered by the Framingham Public
Schools from Pre-School to High School:
Resource Rooms/In-Class Support,
Occupational Therapy, Speech and
Language Therapy, Physical Therapy,
Teacher of the Visually Impaired,
Orientation and Mobility, Adaptive
Physical Education, Audiology
Consultation, Board Certified Behavior
Analysts and Applied Behavior Analysts.
There are thirty-nine substantially separate
classrooms in grades K-12. These
students require comprehensive
programming which is provided outside
of the general education classroom for
more than 60% of the school day. These
classrooms are located at six of our
Elementary Schools, all three Middle
Schools along with the High School. This
number also includes the New England
Center for Children (NECC) Partnership
classroom which provides programming
for Framingham students who would
otherwise by in an out of district
placement. At the BLOCKS Pre-School,
there are nine substantially separate
classroom sessions. These students are
also included in general education classes
and ancillary activities at each building.
Inclusion programs have been established
at all levels using a variety of approaches
throughout the District, including a grade
level inclusion model. The grade level
inclusion model maximizes the amount of
supports that are provided in the
classroom setting. In addition, some
teachers who are dually licensed in Special
Education and Elementary Education
have full time responsibility for Inclusion
classes at the elementary level.
Framingham is a model for Pre-School
programs for both children with special
needs and typical children ages three to
five. The placement of children with
special needs in the Pre-School programs
emphasizes language, communication and
social skills development along with
integration with non-special education
peers.
Framingham continues to see an increase
in the number of children with Autism
and Multiple Disabilities at the Pre-School
level. There is a significant increase in the
number of students identified with
emotional disabilities at all levels. The
severity of these disabilities presents
challenges to the school district to
develop new and innovative programs in
order to support these students in the
public schools.
BILINGUAL
EDUCATION PROGRAMS
The Department of Bilingual Education
provides support and services to students
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Education and Libraries 171
in grades preK-12 whose primary
language is not English. This student
group is often referred to as English
Learners (EL). The primary goal of all
bilingual programming is to provide
specialized instruction in English language
development to enable ELs to access the
curriculum and achieve in an English
dominant environment. Bilingual
education is an umbrella term which
encompasses a variety of different types
of program models. In Framingham,
models range from Sheltered English
Immersion (SEI) to Two-Way Bilingual
Education, to Transitional Bilingual
Education (TBE), and include variations
on each of these programs. ELD/ESL
services must be provided to all ELs in
district. In 2016, approximately 21% of
the district’s population is actively
monitored or receives direct services in
English language development from the
Bilingual Education Department. 38.8%
of the total student population comes
from a home where a language other than
English is spoken.
Due to the dedication of the staff and
success of programming, FPS continues
to be recognized as an educational leader
in bilingual education. Our staff, from
faculty to administration, is solicited for
input across the state and plays an active
role in Department of Elementary and
Secondary Education sponsored initiatives
for ELs. We have participated in various
workshops and focus groups to lend a
voice to policy matters through the Urban
EL Director’s Network and have had staff
both present and attend conferences at
the national conferences on World-Class
Instructional Design and Assessment
(WIDA), Massachusetts Association of
Teachers of Speakers of Other Languages
(MATSOL), Massachusetts Association of
Bilingual Educators (MABE) and various
other groups. We are also the host district
for the DESE SEI Endorsement courses
and the district’s EL coaches and director
have provided training to over 330
teachers and administrators since 2013.
The Bilingual Department also continues
to lend its particular expertise to several
committees in the district reviewing
curriculum, assessment, intervention,
literacy, and data relating to the education
of all students in Framingham.
Outreach to parents of ELLs is a major
goal of our department. Framingham
Public Schools is committed to supporting
parents of English Language Learners in
matters pertaining to their children’s
education and in providing access to
school-related events and activities. The
Bilingual PAC Advisory Council (B-PAC)
supports and carries out the work of the
Bilingual PAC, Bilingual Education
Department and school outreach to
parents of ELs. During the 2015-2016
school year we joined forces and held
successful parent events at Woodrow
Wilson, Fuller and Framingham High
School. The Bilingual Department in
collaboration with the Title I office and
the district’s CRD (Community Resource
Development) sponsors summer
programs for our students during the
summer. All these events are funded by
the Title III grant. The success of the
town-wide B-PAC and the tireless efforts
of the school district-wide B-PAC
Advisory group reflect the extraordinary
commitment of the Framingham
community’s parents to the education of
their children and strengthen the ongoing
communication between school and
home.
OFFICE OF TECHNOLOGY
The Office of Technology (OT) is
responsible for providing a technical
foundation and vision to support the
advanced learning environment of the

Education and Libraries 172
21st century student and educator. The
intent is to lead and collaborate across the
spectrum of students, staff and district
administration to meet both instructional
and administrative goals of teaching and
learning district-wide.
The Office of Technology (OT)
continued to enhance infrastructure and
distribute technology to the hands of
students and staff. Leveraging wireless
technology and mobile devices, OT
efforts is contributing to its enhancing the
classroom learning environment across all
schools. Over the past year, OT
distributed Chromebooks across the
district. At Fuller Middle School Grades
6-8 these Chromebooks were used to take
online PARCC assessments. Other
schools throughout the district, used them
for research, MAP testing and various
class activities.
District-wide, OT continued to make
enhancements to our network
infrastructure. These enhancements
include increased bandwidth from the
schools to the internet and increased
wireless coverage in the buildings. Also
during this time, OT introduced
KACE, Framingham Public School’s new
Helpdesk system. Features include a self-
service user portal in which users can
create and monitor your OWN helpdesk
ticket through email. With a continued
focus on moving towards a digital
environment, the Office of Technology
continues to evaluate workflows and
processes across the district in an effort to
create a seamless flow of data and
communications and reduce duplication
of tasks.
FINE AND PERFORMING
ARTS
Our arts education is flourishing and our
kids continue to win local, regional and
state awards in every art discipline. Grade
five band classes are back in full force this
year. Seventy–eight percent of our
students are enrolled in band. These
students were featured at the tree lighting

TRANSPORTATION
DEPARTMENT
The Transportation Department provides
a vital service for the Framingham Public
Schools. Over five thousand nine
hundred public school students utilize bus
transportation on a daily basis. The
transportation office continues to work
diligently to ensure our students safe and
efficient transport. Massachusetts
General Law requires the School
Departments to provide transportation to
all children outside two miles of each
respective district school in grades K -
6. To that end, Framingham provides
school transportation to over one
hundred and twenty-five students in non-
public schools in Framingham. Due to
budget constraints, the School
Department moved to a fee-based
transportation program twelve years ago
for those students in grades 7 – 12. The
district does have limited seats available
for purchase for students who live within
2 miles for grades K – 12.
The District’s Transportation Department
successfully will enter into our first year of
a new five year contract with Durham
School Services beginning on July 1, 2016.

GIFTED AND TALENTED
DEPARTMENT/SAGE
SERVICES
Sage services work in collaboration with
other school departments to differentiate
curriculum and instruction for students so
they may maximize their potential. Two
methods are used to deliver services:
Classroom Integration Grades K-8 and/or
Pull-out Services Grades 2-8. Sage
services exist in all elementary and middle
schools. The integration component not
only provides for the modifications
necessary for the individual needs of
identified students, it also provides
opportunities for thinking skill
development for all students. The Sage
staff serves as a resource for classroom
teachers providing materials, lessons, and
learning centers based on the integration
of thinking skills and differentiated
practices into the grade level content.
The pull-out component is developed in a
prescriptive sense to address and support
the needs of identified students. In this
setting, Sage provides a differentiated
program of work which is based on
abstract thinking skills, independent
investigation, thinking skill behaviors, and
skills for self-help. Sage classes are
interdisciplinary in nature, involve
thematic study that is based on Common
Core standards and is part of the core
academic program essential for proper
growth and development.
To promote quality educational practices
across the curriculum and throughout the
district to maximize student potential, the
Sage Department: focuses on the
academic, social, and emotional
characteristics of gifted and talented
learners to address their unique learning
needs; utilizes data to target and engage all
learners; infuses critical and creative
thinking skills to increase the level of
cognitive complexity; provides training to
and partner with classroom teachers,
specialists and support staff to
differentiate instruction; fosters strategies

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
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Education and Libraries 180
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.
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

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.
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

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

49 Lexington St. (Main) | 508-532-5570 | library.public@framinghamma.gov
Advancements in technology, increases in
programming, changes in organizational
structure, disaster preparedness and
response, and significant progress
constructing the new Christa McAuliffe
Branch Library highlighted a very
successful 2015 at the Framingham Public
Library.
Building the New Christa McAuliffe
Library
The Library Building Committee, working
closely with our project architects,
Owner’s Project Manager, Town officials,
and our General Contractor worked
steadily to throughout the year to keep the
nearly eight million dollar project on
schedule.
General Contractor Lupachino &
Salvatore Inc. of Bloomfield CT. would
live up to their reputation for excellence
and attention to detail. Weekly progress
meetings assured that issues and concerns
were addressed thoroughly and that they
would not adversely impact our stated
goal to have the new branch open to our
patrons in early 2016.
Owner’s Project Manager, Design
Technique, Inc. of Newburyport, MA
would continually prove to be an
invaluable member of the Library’s
building team. The OPM’s role is to bring
exceptional knowledge of the construction
industry to the project and to assist the
Owner (Town of Framingham) with all
facets of the construction process.
Design Technique, Inc. would do this
throughout 2015 contributing greatly to a
project that is “on budget” and “on time.”
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Education and Libraries 183
We are most appreciative of the
continuing support and cooperation the
project received from Town Departments,
Boards and Commissions as we worked
through the early construction process.
We are especially appreciative of the
professional attention and support from
the Town of Framingham Planning
Board, Town Counsel, Town Building
Inspector, Conservation Commission,
Fire Department, and the Finance and
Procurement Division. At several points
throughout the year each of these
“partners” made invaluable contributions
to the success of the project.
Mr. Jim Paolini, Director of Town
Facilities and Capital Projects, also
brought his considerable experience with
the construction industry to the project
throughout the year. With numerous
Town-wide responsibilities vying for his
attention, Mr. Paolini would faithfully
attend weekly progress meetings and
commit to memory the copious details of
the project.
Several committees worked diligently
throughout the year to fulfill their
respective responsibilities. Library
Building Chair Sam Klaidman would
appoint Library Trustee Ruth Winett to
lead the committee working with Interior
Designer Betsy Ricciarelli to select the
furnishings for the new library. Library
Technology Administrator Alan Mandel
would provide the vision and leadership
required to secure the technology
resources that patrons and staff would
anticipate having in a new library.
Assistant Library Director Lena Kilburn,
working with Ms. Winett and others,
would be charged with developing vibrant
and informative signage that assists
patrons in navigating the new library. This
committee was also charged with
designing plagues that would properly
recognize the many individuals,
institutions and companies that made
generous financial contributions to the
project. Finally, Library Trustee Jan
Harrington and Branch Manager Nancy
Gentile were charged to assemble a
committee that would design and install a
“commemorative display” that would
inform, or further educate, all who
entered the Library as to the building’s
namesake, and why thirty, forty, or fifty-
years after the Challenger disaster, Christa
McAuliffe still inspires all of us.
Meanwhile, the Framingham Public
Library Foundation continued to work
energetically to reach their goal of raising
$600,000 in support of this project. We
are appreciative to all that gave generously
to the project and to everyone that
attended the numerous fundraising events
sponsored by the Foundation. On January
31st the Foundation celebrated a
construction milestone by inviting
Framingham citizens to affix their
signatures to the final steel beam to be
hoisted and installed in the new library.
Over 700 people, of all ages, would attend
the “Sign the Beam!” event, leaving
behind a lasting imprint on their future
library.
Please visit the Foundation’s link on the
Library’s web page to learn how your
generosity can help us reach our goal.
Organizational Changes
Assistant Library Director Jane Peck left
us to become Library Director at Regis
College her Alma mater. Jane served the
Library well in this position and for many
years was the Branch Manager at the
Christa McAuliffe Library. We thank Jane
for her years of service and wish her the
very best in her new position.
In October, assistant Branch Manager
Lena Kilburn was promoted to Assistant
Library Director.
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Education and Libraries 184
Rising to the Challenge
On October 17th an electrical explosion
occurred at the Main Library while work
was being performed to install new
boilers. The damage to the Library’s
electrical system was extensive. Direct
damage to the facility was confined to the
Electrical Room, although black soot
from the incident migrated throughout
the library via the ventilation system. It
was determined that the building would
not be occupied for several months. As
2015 came to a close the Main Library
remained close awaiting final
determinations of the extent of the
damage and settlement of insurance claim
issues.
Library staff have been relocated to the
Technology Lab at Town Hall.
We are grateful for this space that was
provided us by the Town Technology
Services Department within hours of the
explosion. On November 9th a temporary
“Pop Up” library was established in the
former St. Stephens School Building
located at 25 Clinton Street just two
blocks from the Main Library. Library
staff rallied to make this space a library for
our patrons. While the space is small,
there are collections, computers and most
importantly talented and dedicated staff
working diligently to provide essential
library services.
We are most grateful for the outpouring
of support and encouragement we have
received from our colleagues in town
government and from so many citizens of
the Town.
Unique Programs and Services
The Library continued its long tradition of
addressing the unique needs of a diverse
community with specialized services. The
Library’s Homework Center continued to
offer free tutoring and homework to all
Framingham students, elementary through
high school. This afterschool program has
assisted hundreds of students with school
assignments while reinforcing the
Library’s role as an essential resource in
their educational pursuits.
The Literacy Unlimited program provides
a solid, comprehensive program for
training and supporting volunteers to
teach basic reading, writing and/or math
skills to adult learners, including those for
whom, English is a foreign language.
Dedicated to increasing public awareness
of the need to eliminate illiteracy in our
community and expanding the availability
of educational programs that accomplish
this. The program is based on the belief
that literacy strengthens society and
promotes equality among its members.
Reaching out to the Community
The Library collaborated with many
organizations responding to community
needs and providing a wide variety of
educational and enriching programs. This
year, 9,102 people attended 267 Library
sponsored adult programs at the Main
Library. Highlights of the year included
the expanding community participation in
our two Lifelong Learning Programs that
are in collaboration with Framingham
State University. Our Lifelong Learning
Lecture Series presented 20 lectures by
scholars from the University as well as
other colleges and universities in the area.
Lectures on a variety of topics were given
on Thursday evenings at the Library and
attendance once again increased
dramatically over the previous year. The
daytime classes for seniors, held on
Tuesdays in March and October were so
popular that we had to limit registration.
More than 200 seniors participated in each
of the October and March programs.
Support for this project was generously
provided in part through the generosity of
its membership. The Danforth Museum,
the Boys and Girls Club, and the Callahan
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Education and Libraries 185
Senior Center collaborated in the success
this program.
The Library’s adult programming was
once again diverse and attracted large and
enthusiastic audiences. Our goal is to
provide a variety of cultural and
informational programs that educate,
entertain and enrich our audiences. Our
Friday Night Film Series regularly attracts
large and enthusiastic crowds. Our
Sunday Concert Series and Summer
Concert Series provide a variety of
classical and popular music with emerging
artists that often attracts capacity crowds.
The new “Brown Bag Learning Series” is
an informal lunch time program featuring
speakers from local businesses and
organizations.
We appreciate the efforts of our local
media, newspapers, email lists and online
media in helping us publicize our
programs to the community. Thanks to
the many volunteers who have assisted
Library staff in making these programs
possible and especially to the Friends of
the Framingham Library who financially
support our efforts. We also appreciate
the financial support from local
businesses, the Framingham Cultural
Council and several local foundations that
have helped defray the costs of
programming. Contributions from local
markets, especially Whole Foods and
Trader Joe’s, have enabled us to serve
refreshments at adult programs.
Friends of the Library
The Friends of the Framingham Library
Association, Inc. continued their long
tradition of dedicated work on behalf of
the Library. The Friends, through their
monthly book sales, raised thousands of
dollars to support collections, programs
and special projects. There are numerous
and rewarding volunteer opportunities
that will fit just about anyone’s schedule.
Please consider joining this essential
organization!

In April, the Disability Commission
hosted a training with the MA
Architectural Access Board (AAB) at
Town Hall. This training was attended by
many town employees as well as
employees from neighboring towns and
several private companies. Also in April,
the Commission submitted an article for
Town Meeting to amend its Bylaw
reducing the number of Commissioners
from nine (9) to seven (7).
In July, some Commissioners attended the
grand opening ceremony of the
MetroWest Regional Transit Authority
(MWRTA/ MW Ride) at their new,
wonderful facility on Blandin Ave.
July 26, 2015 marked the 25th Anniversary
of the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA), a Civil Rights Law. Many disability
organizations and advocates came
together in Boston for this historic day.
Many guest presenters attended our
meetings to update us on their access

In August, the Commission began
working with the Access Compliance
Inspector, a newly created position within
the Building Department. We work with
the Inspector on important access issues
including AAB complaints and variances.
As a result, we were able to review and
respond to all variance requests with a
greater understanding of how the variance
process works.
Again this past fall, the Commission was
happy to allocate funds from the HP Fine
account in the amount of $4,500 to the
Piers Park Adaptive Sailing Youth
Program. This eight week long program
taught kids with Disabilities how to sail.
We want to send a special thank you and
goodbye to Jennifer Thompson, the
former Asst. Town Manager & ADA
Coordinator who was a great help in
supporting us. In September, we began
working with James Duane who became
the Asst. Town Manager & ADA Coord.
We will continue to work closely with the
BoS, Town Meeting, Town Manager,
Schools & town depts.., to ensure that the
Town is in compliance with State (AAB)
and Federal (ADA) access laws and that
they will continue to implement changes
outlined ten years ago, in the 2005 ADA
Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan.
Sincerely,

Edgell Grove Cemetery and Mausoleum
had a very successful year as the
community becomes familiar with the
beautiful grounds and peaceful setting.
We had 58 full burials, 44 cremation
burials, 74 plot sales, 4 mausoleum sales, 3
mausoleum interments and 6 chapel
rentals.
Progress has been made on the mapping
system and is still on-going.
With Kathy Griffith leaving, Dennis
Cardiff has come on board. He brings his
financial and business background.
The board was reorganized with Barbara
Ford as Chair, Susan Silva as Vice Chair,

Finance Committee
The Finance Committee is comprised of
nine members appointed by the Town
Moderator for a term of three years. It
recommends action to the Town Meeting
regarding the budget and other areas of
finance. Other key responsibilities include
authorizing disbursements from the
Reserve Fund for emergency expenses,
authorizing deficit spending for
emergency winter-related expenses,
approving the expenditure ceiling for
revolving funds and monitoring the
Town’s annual audit.
The workload for the Finance Committee
requires a commitment of significant time
from the volunteers who serve on it. In
FY 2015, the Finance Committee met 23
times, and participated in the Annual
Town Meeting and one Special Town
Meeting.
Members often have significant
responsibilities beyond regular Finance
Committee meetings. The Committee
provides representatives to the Real
Property and Capital Budget committees
under Town bylaws. The Committee
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
General Committees 189
routinely appoints liaisons to Keefe Tech
and the School Department to monitor
their independent budget development
processes. Further, the Committee’s two-
member Audit Subcommittee meets with
the Town’s outside audit firm and the
Chief Financial Officer’s staff to resolve
audit findings.
As the second of a three-year budget plan,
the FY16 budget allowed for continued
strategic investments for both the town
and the schools:
- Approximately $253 Million or 3.1%
increase over previous year’s budget
as recommended by the CFO.
- This was the second year when the
tax levy raise was held to 1.25%.
- For Framingham Schools, approx.
$115M was recommended, which
included a 4% increase in Level
Services funding and an additional
$1.1M in improvements.
While the Committee appreciates the
outstanding progress achieved by the
School Department in making FHS a
Level 1 school and in moving two schools
from Level 3 to Level 2, it must consider
not only this year’s fiscal position, but also
the long-term financial issues facing the
Town. For example, the Town has
projected the cost of replacing or
substantially renovating two schools at a
cost of between fifty million and one
hundred fifty million dollars, depending
on the construction cost inflation, the
interest rates and the State grants. But, the
bonding for this project alone would put a
substantial burden on the taxpayers and
could require override or debt exclusion.
The Committee is also proud that the
School Department provides exceptional
in district SPED programs. While it
recognizes that these programs provide
crucial support for students in need of
these services, it also recognizes that the
current rate of annual increases in SPED
related cost is not sustainable. At the 2013
Annual Town meeting, the Committee
reported that at the current rates of
increase in the School Department’s
annual budget and the annual rate of
increases in SPED costs, in about 15 years
the entire annual increase in School
Department budget would go to SPED.
No annual increase will remain available
for the non-SPED students, including any
increase for Level Services.
The Committee also noted the following
significant Capital Improvement trends
Public Works Infrastructure:
Professional design and engineering,
sanitation upgrades, roadway
improvements, continuing progress
towards modernizing water and sewer
lines and pump stations.
Public Facilities: Remediation and
general improvements to Mary
Dennison Park and the Loring Arena,
significant improvements to south
Framingham Cypress Street
Woodland, investment in school
building replacement parts (roofs,
security systems, heating and
ventilation systems, etc.) within a near
vision of building a new middle
school.
Technology Upgrades: Town and
School technology infrastructure have
substantial upgrades.
The Finance Committee continues to
stress the balance needed between the
capital and the operating budgets. The
pressures on the capital budget and the
operating budget continue to build. The
Town will need to reconcile these needs
along with the challenges of continuing
funding for the School Department over
the next several years.

Government Study Committee
In 2015 the Government Study
Committee reviewed all proposed Warrant
Articles that would amend the General
Bylaws and made recommendations to
Town Meeting. It was instrumental in
increasing the number of Board of Health
members from 3 to 5 though the Town
has not received confirmation of the
increase from the State Legislature. The
committee also had the Bylaws amended
to make it easier for the BoS to issue wine
and beer tasting licenses for special
events. It also looked into various ways of
streamlining our present form of
government and attempted to make
governmental committees more
transparent. And, as it has done in the
past, it examined various forms of city and
town governments to see if they had
advantages over what we have in
Framingham.
The GSC’s efforts to make Town Meeting
more efficient and representative were
frustrated when Town Meeting rejected its
proposal to decrease the number of Town
Meeting members by 25% and to require
that the minutes of all committees indicate
the individual votes and abstentions of
each member on all votes not strictly
procedural in nature.
Although the GSC’s full membership was
reduced from 12 to 9, several vacancies
remain and need to be filled. Karl Rookey,
the chair throughout 2015, resigned for
personal reasons.

Historic District Commission
The Historic District Commission held 10
meetings during 2015.
In June, the Board of Selectmen
reappointed members Gerald Couto, Sue
Bernstein, Amy Finstein, and Calvin
Smith to full three year terms, expiring in
2018. Also in June, Jeffrey Delvy was
appointed to fill the vacant History Center
- Alternate position which expires in 2016.
In December, eighteen year member Jim
Kubat, A.I.A., Alternate – Architect, was
elevated to the At-Large position. Centre
Common Historic District resident
Andrew Mackin was then appointed to fill
the vacant Alternate position. Both of
these appointments expire in 2016. In
July the Commission reorganized and re-
elected Gerald Couto, A.I.A., Chair, and
elected Steven Greeley, Vice-Chair.
Eight properties were added to the Centre
Common Historic District at the 2015
Annual Town Meeting. The Commission
hired a professional consultant,
Communities Opportunity Group, to
prepare a report and assist with a Public
Hearing, to fulfill the requirements of
State Statute, in preparation toward the
creation of the Pike Row and H. H.
Richardson Depot Historic Districts. The
plan is to bring the two districts before
Fall Town Meeting in 2016. Jonathan

During the year, the Commission held
two public hearings and issued one
Certificates of Appropriateness and one
Certificate of Hardship.
In conjunction with the Historical
Commission, the Commission hired
Historic Preservation Consultant Jennifer
B. Doherty to undertake several projects,
as well as to handle administrative duties
of the Commission. In addition to
preparing for meetings and taking
minutes, she has updated and had printed
a new informational brochure for the local
historic districts, recorded the existing

An on-call historic preservation consultant
was hired in the fall to assist the
Commission in its work. The town’s
inventory of cultural resources (C.R.I.)
was updated this year. This was the first
official update in nearly fifteen years. An
additional eighty (80) properties, areas
and/or objects were added to the
inventory.
An historic achievement awards program
was established to give recognition to
persons and organizations making
significant contributions to our
community in this field. A public meeting
and ceremony is planned for the spring of
2016 to recognize the winners.
The Commission hosted a workshop on
demolition delay bylaws given by staff of
the Massachusetts Historical Commission
on February 19th. It was attended by
representatives from most of our
neighboring cities and towns.
This year was unique in one respect. The
Commission did not review a single
demolition permit application! One town-
owned structure with historic significance
was condemned and subsequently
demolished. That was the concrete
grandstand at Butterworth Park. This was
the last of several such structures built
here by the W.P.A. during the great
depression years.
Fred Wallace, Chair
Human Relations Commission
Thanks to the efforts of the Selectmen’s
Office the Commission was able to
increase its number of active
Commissioners this year.
In keeping with our mandate to educate
the public on timely issues we held a
meeting with Police Chief Ken Ferguson
to discuss Framingham’s response to
events occurring in other parts of our
country. He spoke of initiatives designed
to prevent such incidents from happening
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
General Committees 192
within Framingham. He also spoke of
training programs dealing with firearms,
cultural training and awareness.
At another session we spoke with Deputy
Chief Steven Trask and Lt. Robert
Downing on the police presence within
the schools and their role as “Resource
Officers.” This discussion led us to invite
Beverly Hugo, Chair of the Framingham
School Committee, who reviewed Strive
for Excellence, Resiliency for Life,
Newcomer Circle and other programs
designed to help students. As a result, the
Commission plans to hold a forum in the
fall to educate the general public on the
varied programs within our schools.
We have also participated in the
Framingham Coming Together Programs.
The Commission invites all interested
members of the community to join us in
planning future sessions. We meet the
second Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm
in the Memorial Building. More
information regarding the Commission
may be found on the Town website. The

with reviewing any proposals concerning
property which is bought, sold,
transferred, or leased by the Town. Its
recommendations are made to Town
Meeting before it votes on any such
proposals.
The committee met twice in 2015. In
April it considered three articles in the
Annual Town Meeting Warrant. They
concerned the acceptance of the Snow
property on Wayside Inn Road, the
reconfiguration of Town property
adjacent to Cedar Swamp off Waverly
Street, and the redefinition of the quorum
for the committee. All the articles were
supported.
In October’s Fall Special Town Meeting
Warrant we supported an article which
would allow the Town to acquire property
at 222 Walnut Street for the construction
of a pumping station. We added an
amendment which recommended that
most of the parcel remain undeveloped.

Town Moderator
The role of Town Meeting, the legislative
body of the Town, is to appropriate funds
(such as budgets and capital projects), to
make general bylaws and zoning bylaws
and vote on other items that are on the
Warrant, such as street acceptances,
classification plans and collective
bargaining. Town Meeting acts on issues
that are prepared by the Town
departments under the auspices of the
Town Manager (sometimes by citizens),
by way of a Warrant (meeting agenda) that
is set by the Board of Selectmen.
The Moderator’s function is to preside
over Town meeting, to set procedures for
the meeting, to keep TM running
smoothly & to keep discussion on topic,
in accordance with the Warrant.
The Moderator also appoints 6
committees: Finance, Capital Budget,
Real Property, Government Study,
Technical Advisory and the Personnel
Board. Currently there is one vacancy on
the Finance Committee and several on the
Government Study Committee. The
Moderator is always looking for qualified
people to serve on these committees. For
more information, please visit the Town
Moderator page at:
http://www.framinghamma.gov/1517/Moderator
Our representative Town Meeting is
comprised of 216 potential TMMs, 12
elected from each of 18 precincts serving
staggered 3-year terms. Attendance this
year ranged from 152 to 101, which
compares to previous years but needs
improvement. 20 TMMs had perfect
attendance. 14 TMMs lost seats because
they attended fewer than 25% of the
meetings (12 attended 2 or fewer).
Vacancies ranged from 29 to 33 over the
year.
In 10 sessions, Town Meeting completed
a 45-article Annual Town Meeting
Warrant and two 2-Article Special Town
meetings, passing an operating budget of
almost $245 million including $124+
million for the schools, approving and
authorizing capital budget items, public
works projects, legal settlements, and
street acceptances as well as taking up
several citizen petition articles, approving
sections of Massachusetts General Laws
to expedite our town government and
businesses, and various general bylaw and
zoning bylaw articles and two STMs.
The 32-article Fall Special Town Meeting
advised the Selectman on the tax levy for
the next fiscal year as proscribed in the
bylaw, approved Transit Oriented
Development, and the continued Zoning
Bylaw recodification, considered several
bylaw changes with mixed results. For
more information on all articles, see
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Town Meeting 194
individual reports as well as the Town
Meeting Journal included in this Annual
Town Report. Electronic votes are
posted on the Town website. Thanks to
the Chair of the Standing Committee on
Rules, status of all articles is also posted.
In addition to making Town Meetings
more efficient, education and
communication are key goals. The
Moderator continues outreach to the
public by offering to meet with anyone
who might interested in becoming
involved but doesn’t know where to begin
as well as offering Town Meeting
Orientation programs and Warrant
Review Sessions with Town Manager Bob
Halpin and CFO Mary Ellen Kelley
before each Town Meeting. At Town
Meeting 102 before the Fall Special Town
Meeting, Mary Ellen Kelley and Arthur
Robert made presentations on the budget
process and the planning process. The
public is invited to these sessions and can
also view the recordings on the Town
website and on local cable access TV at
certain scheduled times.
At the urging of and with strong support
from TM member Dhruba Sen, we
implemented a Town Meeting Awareness
group to inform citizens about Town
Meeting. William LaBarge, Bob Cushing,
“manned” booths at the Framingham
Green Concerts. Dan Rao, Bernice Strom
and Judith Grove joined us at MetroFest.
We also reached out to PTO’s.
Prepared Town Meeting Members are the
best expediters of Town Meeting. When
everyone does the homework, we can
limit discussion and debate to the relevant
issues. Standing Committee members
who work so diligently and put in so many
hours for Framingham are much
appreciated.
Special thanks to Bernice Strom,
information table manager, to the
attendance checkers and distributors of
electronic devices and William LaBarge.
It is a pleasure working with the
moderator-appointed committees who
contribute so much time, as well as our
Town Manager, Town Clerk and Town
Counsel & their staffs and associates.
Special commendations are extended to
Cherry Baram who continues her stellar
job of compiling the warrant with motions
and background material, and getting the
material out to Town Meeting.
Thanks also to the Board of Selectmen,
CFO, Building Services, Tech Services,
and Media Services and Jeff Horan
(electronic voting administrator from
OTI), all of whom are indispensable in the
production and process of Town Meeting.
I am gratified by all who support me,
elected me, and express continued
confidence and encouragement to me in
this role of Moderator. I look forward to
serving, learning and working with all who
serve the town in the upcoming year.
Town Meeting decides issues that affect
all citizens of Framingham, including
YOU. Town Meeting Members are
citizens of Framingham, working to make
our Town a better place. I encourage you
to get involved as a Town Meeting
Member or in some other capacity. You
will get a great education while serving
your town!! Feel free to contact me!!

Standing Committee on Planning
and Zoning
In accordance with the Town’s By-Laws,
the Standing Committee on Planning and
Zoning [SCPZ] is responsible for
reporting to the Town Meeting on the
activities of the Planning and Economic
Development Division [now called the
Community and Economic Development
Division], the Zoning Board of Appeals,
the Planning Board, the Conservation
Commission, the Historical Commission,
the MetroWest Growth Management
Commission [now called the MetroWest
Regional Collaborative], the Economic
Development and Industrial Corporation,
and the Historical District Commission.
In addition, the SCPZ is responsible for
reporting to Town Meeting on any
warrant articles sponsored by or relating
to the activities of these entities.
Except for July and August and during
Town Meeting, the SCPZ meets regularly
on the first Wednesday of the month.
Additional meetings are held as needed.
The SCPZ held nine regular meetings and
two special meetings during 2015 with an
average attendance of 10.3 members. In
order to facilitate the SCPZ’s ability to
monitor the activities of the various
boards and committees that it is assigned
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Town Meeting 196
to monitor, the SCPZ asks one or two of
its members to serve as the SCPZ’s liaison
to each of these boards and committees.
The SCPZ’s major focus during 2015 was
monitoring and reporting to the Town
Meeting on the project, which Town
Meeting authorized in 2013, to review and
recodify the Framingham’s Zoning By-law
by a work group of Town staff.
Additionally, the SCPZ formed a sub-
committee to work with the Town’s
recodification workgroup on the project’s
next phase Recodification proposals that
were approved at the 2015 Annual Town
Meeting. There still is much work that
needs to be done over the next several
years to complete Framingham’s Zoning
By-Law Recodification Project. The
SCPZ plans to continue its monitoring of
this Project and to offer recommendations
as needed. Another SCPZ sub-committee
worked with the Town’s workgroup on
the Central Business District Transit
Oriented Development by-law that Town
Meeting approved in October 2015.
A partial listing of the other topics
discussed at SCPZ meetings during 2015
include: Transfer of Development Rights
by-law, street acceptances, including
additional properties in the Framingham
Center Historical District and rezoning in
Framingham Center, Complete Streets
initiative, site plan review by-law changes,
Corporate Mixed Use zone proposal for
the 9/90 area, affordable [inclusionary]
housing by-law updates, and the Nobscot
and Saxonville village center proposals.
Additionally, the SCPZ reported to the
2015 Annual Town Meeting and the 2015
Fall Town Meeting concerning planning
and zoning articles.
Standing Committee on
Public Safety
The Public Safety Standing Committee
(PSSC) consists of members elected from
and representing each precinct of Town
Meeting. PSSC reports to Town Meeting
its recommendations after careful review,
analysis and deliberations related to PS
divisions, considering community needs
and warrant articles.
The role of the PSSC is to communicate
and work with PS divisions to better
understand and communicate the services
that they provide; their present and long
term goals/needs; and their focus on ways
to improve service to our community and
plans to implement. Specific divisions
included in our focal point are: Police,
Fire and Inspectional Services.
During the coming fiscal year we look
forward to being active and dedicated,
meeting regularly and communicating
more fully with Public Safety divisions on
their work in our community.
This past year, the SCPS proposed a
Resolution at the Fall Town Meeting
supporting the establishment of a
Housing Court to service Framingham,
which passed overwhelmingly. We
continue to monitor progress through our
state legislators.
Standing Committee on Rules
The goal of the Rules Committee is to
recommend Town Meeting (TM)
procedures that will help TM Members
make informed decisions on motions.
The Rules Committee supports Town
Meeting in the following ways: (1) the
voting coordinator, Joel Winett, prepares
the roster of Town Meeting Members for
the Voting Administrator, (2) Rules
Committee Members volunteer to
distribute and collect voting keypads, (3)
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Town Meeting 197
the Handout Table Monitor, Bernice
Strom, manages the handout materials at
TM for the Moderator.
The electronic voting system was used at
the 11 ATM sessions (for 22 motions and
4 procedural votes) and at the 3 STM’s
where there were 8 sessions (for 14
motions and 16 procedural votes). Thus
there were a total of 30 motions and 26
procedural electronic votes. All 56
counted votes are posted on the Town
website.
The Committee sponsored the reporting
articles for the ATM and FTM which
requests reports from selected boards,
committees and division heads, and a
bylaw change in the ATM regarding
public and executive sessions minutes
(passed).
Significant recommendations made to
improve Town Meeting were (1) the
Moderator makes motions on behalf of a
Town Meeting Member or on behalf of
the CFO, (2) Town Meeting Member who
wish to speak line up at microphones.,
and (3) The Voting Coordinator provides
the Moderator with a Status Sheet of
Votes on articles (and budget line items)
for the Moderator to post file on the web.
Respectfully Submitted:
Joel Winett, Chair
Standing Committee on Ways
and Means
As defined in the Town by-laws, the
Standing Committee on Ways and Means
(SCW&M) is responsible for making
recommendations to Town Meeting (TM)
on warrant articles sponsored by or
related to the Finance Committee, the
Finance Division, the Human Resources
Division, the Information Services
Division, the Selectmen, the Town Clerk,
Town Elections, the Legal Department,
the Retirement Board and the Capital
Budget and Government Study
Committees.
In 2015 the SCW&M evaluated and made
recommendations to TM on 51 warrant
articles at the April Annual Town/Special
Town Meetings and 16 warrant articles in
the Fall Special TM after fully vetting
them with the sponsors and related
boards, committees, and departments.
The SCW&M continued to support the
Town Manager and CFO’s approach to
establish and work with the CFO’s best
estimate of state aid during the April
Annual TM. This facilitates a more stable
Annual TM budget process, with any
necessary budget adjustments made at the
Fall Town Meeting.
The SCW&M is supportive of the Town’s
3 year approach in developing baseline
budgets below the 2.5% property tax levy
cap. A cap of 1.25% has been maintained
for both FY 15 and FY 16, while still
allowing funding for Town reserve
accounts including a Capital Stabilization
Fund in anticipation of expected future
capital expenditures for schools and
building maintenance. A Tax Burden
Reserve Fund has also been funded to
potentially alleviate large tax burden shifts
in the future. The ability to do this is
largely due to health insurance savings
resulting from switching eligible retires to
Medicare, and retirees and active
employees to the state health insurance
system (GIC).
The town and this committee are very
supportive of our public schools with per
pupil expenditures among the highest in
the state. However state Chapter 70
support, according to their own data,
underfunds the town by millions of
dollars per year. So we must continue to
work with our state legislators to address
this issue as well as inadequate
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Town Meeting 198
reimbursements for homeless
transportation costs which place an unfair
burden on the town.
The SCW&M recommended that TM
approve the schools FY 16 capital budget
request for upgrading school technology,
but expressed concern over the plan for
its implementation in the schools. A
SCW&M resolution was approved by TM
requesting a report on the plan for
incorporating technology into the schools.
The SCW&M was an early supporter of a
skate park and is pleased that TM has
taken initial steps to make it a reality

Development Rights: The total square footage of a residential building on a Giving Parcel to be
considered to be transfer to a Receiving Parcel shall be in accordance with the Transfer of
Development Rights Residential Parcel Chart. Accessory structures shall not be utilized for this
calculation. The permitted residential building size allowed within the Transfer of Development Rights
Residential Building Size Chart for the given zoning district that the Giving Parcel is located in shall be

Rights Yield Plan. One square foot of residential building area on a Giving Parcel shall equal one
square foot of development potential on a Receiving Parcel.
Transfer of Development Rights (TDR): The Transfer of Development Rights from a Giving Parcel

Plan shall identify all non-buildable areas, which include wetlands, wetland buffers, and Moderate Slopes,
and deem this area as non-buildable; non-buildable areas shall not be considered as part of the
developable area.
SECTION V.O. Transfer of Development Rights
1. Purpose
The purpose of the Transfer of Development Right (TDR) By-law is to provide an alternative for
the preservation of Developable Farm and/or Developable Open Space Parcels; while encouraging
economic development through an increase in the development potential within designated
parcels. Through a TDR special permit a Developable Farm and/or Developable Open Space
Parcel can sell its potential Development Rights to a Receiving Parcel; thereby allowing the
Receiving Parcel to meet its companies’ growth demands. The objective of the TDR is twofold: to
serve as an economic development tool while promoting the preservation of Developable Farm
and/or Developable Open Space parcel in exchange. The intent of the TDR special permit is
consistent with the goals and objectives of the Town’s Master Land Use Plan and Open Space &
Recreation Plan.
2. Applicability
a. The Giving Parcel
1. The Planning Board shall determine the allowable Development Rights that may be
transferred to a Receiving Parcel. To determine the total Development Rights allowed to
be transferred, the owner of the Giving Parcel shall prepare a Transfer of Development
Rights Yield Plan (TDR Yield Plan).
2. The owner of the Giving Parcel shall submit the TDR Yield Plan and an application to
the Planning Board for review. The Planning Board may retain a Peer Review Consultant
at the expense of the owner of the Giving Parcel to ensure the TDR Yield Plan represents
a true and accurate representation of the Giving Parcel.
3. The TDR Yield Plan will be reviewed during a posted public hearing; notice of
the public hearing shall be made in accordance with G.L. c. 40A, §11.
Town of Framingham 2015 Annual Town Report
Town Meeting 232
4. The total allowable Development Rights that the Giving Parcel is eligible to
transfer shall be the total square footage of the residential building allowed as
denoted in the Transfer of Development Rights Residential Building Size Chart
within the specific zoning district that the Giving Parcel is located in. The size of the
residential building as denoted in the Transfer of Development Rights Residential
Building Size Chart shall be multiplied by the total number of building lots
allowed by-right to determine the total area to be transferred to a Receiving
Parcel and placed under an APR and/or CR.

Single Family Residential (R-2) 5,500 square feet
Single Family Residential (R-1) 5,000 square feet
General Residential (G) 4,500 square feet
5. The APR and/or CR placed on the Giving Parcel shall be as follows:
For Giving Parcels transferring all Development Rights: At the expense
of the owner of the Giving Parcel, the entire Developable Farm and/or
Developable Open Space Parcel shall be placed under an APR and/or CR
in perpetuity. The entire Giving Parcel shall include all areas identified
as non-buildable areas which include wetlands, wetland buffers, and
Moderate Slopes, in addition to the buildable lots as identified in the
TDR Yield Plan.
For Giving Parcels transferring a portion of Development Rights: At the
expense of the owner of the Giving Parcel the portion of the Developable
Farm and/or Developable Open Space Parcel associated with the square
footage to be transferred shall be placed under an APR and/or CR. This
shall include all building lot areas associated with the residential building
unit square footage, infrastructure and roadways associated with the
building lots, and all non-buildable areas including wetlands, wetland
buffers, and Moderate Slopes as identified in the TDR Yield Plan. For
fractions of residential building unit square footage, all fractions shall be
rounded up to the nearest whole number. The portion of the land to be
placed under an APR and/or CR shall be selected with the intent of
creating contiguous tracks of land and where possible contiguous with

To see if the Town will amend Article I, Section 1.3 and Article III Section 3.4 of the General

Approved by the Attorney General on September 15, 2015
ARTICLE 40 – ATTACHMENT
For some years the Government study committee has been operating at a maximum appointed
level of 9 or fewer members, and the quorum has been defined in the committee rules as “a
simple majority of appointed meeting members, and no less than five.” The purpose of this article
is to enact what has been the de facto state of the committee: 9 appointed members with a quorum
of 5. While changing the bylaw, it makes sense to add the officers that have become traditional
for the committee.
To enact these changes, the following modifications to the Town’s General Bylaws are required

May 20, 2015 Voted: That the General Bylaws, Article II, Section 16.3 be amended as shown in
the background material for this article and attached.
Disapproved by the Attorney General on October 14, 2015
ARTICLE 41 – ATTACHMENT
Under the current quorum requirements of the Real Property Committee, 60% of the appointed
Town Meeting Members need to be present, and it is possible to have 11 of the 16 members in
attendance without having a quorum.
Considering the essential nature of the Real Property Committee’s work, and the potential
challenge posed by restricting the quorum to just Town Meeting Members, this proposal aims to
loosen the restriction without changing the intent of the requirement. The Government Study
Committee recommends the adoption of a new quorum of 7 appointed members, with at least 4
being Town Meeting members. This will mean that 40% of the TMMs need to be present, and in
a worst case scenario there can be 9 of the 16 members in attendance without having a quorum.
To enact this change, the following modifications to the Town’s General Bylaws are required
(indicated by bold text that is formatted with either an underline or strikethrough):
Article II Section 16.3
The Real Property Committee shall choose its own officers from the ten (10) Town
Meeting Members. A quorum of said committee shall be six seven (67), of the ten
