Annual Report - 2015: Town Council
"On behalf of the Franklin Town Council, it is my pleasure to submit our annual report for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2015.
The Town Council remains busy and committed to serving the best interest of all the citizens of our community. I am proud to report on several matters including the opening of our New High School. Congratulations to the High School Building Committee and all of our citizens that made the project a true success. It will serve our students for generations to come.
Other projects that were completed include the reconstruction of Lincoln and Daniels Streets, water main replacement on several roads, and the sidewalk on Panther Way.
We appointed committees to complete the second floor of the senior center and to make improvements to our historic library.
We dedicated a playground at Fletcher Field funded by the Commonwealth. We purchased and demolished a house at 92 Wachusett Street to expand parking for Fletcher Field, and bought 19 acres of land off of Lincoln Street to provide recreation opportunities and access to the Charles River.
The downtown project is finally underway and we sold the old municipal building at 150 Emmons Street for commercial development. We included in the sale a small green space and for a statue of Horace Mann a Franklin native and considered to be one of the founders of public education in America.
We supported the citizens group for solar energy as well as the group looking to establish a cultural district in Franklin.
In closing, we will continue to work for you, the Citizen, and the Community we all share. You can be assured that you have dedicated, competent, and professional individuals working and volunteering their time on your behalf.
Again we thank our Town Administrator, Jeff Nutting, for his dedication to the Town of Franklin through good times and tough times, and all of the Town employees who help to make this community a great place to live and work.
On behalf of my fellow councilors, Andrew Bissanti, Robert Dellorco, Brett Feldman, Matthew Kelly, Thomas Mercer, Peter Padula, Judith Pfeffer, Robert Vallee, and Stephen Williams, I want to thank you for the opportunity you have given us to serve this great community.
Respectfully Submitted,
Robert Vallee
Chairman, Franklin Town Council"

Annual Report - 2105: Town Administrator
"It continues to be my honor to serve the Town Council and the citizens of Franklin.
Under the leadership of the Town Council over the years we continue to try and improve the quality of life for our residents while maintaining a balanced budget, fiscal prudence and a look towards the future. Fiscal year 15 showed no signs of letting up on improving our community.
So, what have we done this year?
The list of improvements in FY 15 are many including the new High School, road and water main improvements, purchase of open space, adding a playground at Fletcher Field, a sidewalk on Panther Way, selling the old municipal building for commercial development, making zoning changes in accordance with the Master Plan, seeing the downtown project get underway, funding the design of sidewalks for Pleasant and Chestnut Streets, working to spruce up the Rail Road stations, and reducing the trash fee.
Since the Town Administrators Office assumed the duties of the Passport Office things are hopping, you can now get your passport here with an appointment on Monday or Wednesday and Friday.
All this is accomplished with hard working volunteers and a great staff of employees in all departments We continually provide high quality services and the lowest possible cost to the tax payer.
As I look to the future there are many challenges but if history is any lesson, the strong leadership of the Town Council and great staff will respond to every challenge.
I want to make note of the retirement of my Secretary, Dianne Blanchard. She was an exceptional employee, dedicated to serving the citizens of Franklin. I wish her well in her retirement.
As always, I want to thank the employees of the Town of Franklin. It is my pleasure to come to work every day with such dedicated and hard working people who do their best for the citizens of Franklin.
Jeff Nutting |
It is my pleasure to submit my annual report for your review, and please feel free to write, e-mail, or stop by with any questions, concerns, or comments.
Respectfully submitted,
Jeff Nutting
Town Administrator"

In the News: firefighters contract approved, deputy administrator starts in January
From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin
http://www.milforddailynews.com/news/20151224/franklin-and-firefighters-reach-agreement
http://www.milforddailynews.com/news/20151225/franklin-deputy-town-administrator-eager-to-start
"The Town Council approved, at a meeting earlier this month, an agreement with the Franklin Permanent Firefighters Association that will run through 2018.
The council, at its Dec. 16 meeting, approved a memorandum of agreement with the union by an 8-0 vote, with one abstention.
The agreement calls for across-the-board salary increases of 2 percent in 2015, 2016 and 2017, with 1 percent of emergency medical technician's bonuses changing to base salaries in 2016, 2017 and 2018.
Town Administrator Jeffrey Nutting said the change in wages was consistent with what other fire unions were seeing. He said other than the salaries, the biggest language change involved the elimination of forced overtime on the holidays."Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)

Dog park gates missing; committee to form
The actions are related to the Franklin dog park but the attempt to start the committee was underway before the gates were reported missing.
Haley is looking to start a Franklin Dog Park Committee.
The dog park at Dacey Field is missing its gates. Someone apparently took them in the week before Christmas. The gates missing status prompted a conversation on a Facebook group and ad hoc action to create a barrier in place of the gates. The gates will be replaced by the DPW.

"As a building official in Franklin, Gus Brown could never figure out how to clean up a handful of abandoned, run-down homes that plagued several of the town’s neighborhoods for years.
Everything changed, though, when he decided in May to place his town in the state attorney general’s Abandoned Housing Initiative. Jason Piques, a lawyer in the AG’s office, sent warning letters to the property owners, and within a month things started to happen.
“To date, there are ongoing cleanups and repairs on these houses and no complaints from the neighbors [anymore],” said Brown, Franklin’s building commissioner. “That letter from him seems to have wonderful results without even getting into any of the legal proceedings.”
