Board of Selectmen
The following is a summary of the major highlights the Selectmen
were involved with during the past year:
o Groundbreaking of the Arthur Griffin Center for Photographic
Art. This project was three years in the development stage
and is a good example of public/private cooperation. The
facility, when completed in the Spring of 1992, will be an
asset to Winchester Center as well as to the entire community.
oD ‘Completion of negotiations with Purity Supreme for the
expansion of their facility in Winchester Center. The agree-
- .ments provided for a gift to the Town for the improvement of
~athletic fields. This project is another €xample of public/
- private cooperation.
o Continued involvement with all of the Boards and Committees
in the budget preparation process. Particularly included is
the School Committee, Assessors, Finance Committee, Library
Trustees, Personnel Board, and Capital Planning Committee.
It is essential that this dialogue be continued on a regular
basis, given the difficult fiscal conditions.
o Installation of water mains on Main Street and Swan Road.
These were completed as part of a State grant program. This
project was included if the Water Master Plan prepared in
Ss ics e
o Construction by the MWRA of the Forest Street connection to
the Bear Hill Standpipe in Stoneham. ‘ This project, once com-
pleted, will provide the Town with a reliabl® backup for the
East High and Middle Low water service system.
o Continued discussion with employee labor unions on various
matters, including the fiscal condition of the Town as well
as stabilization of health insurance costs.
o Initiation with the School Department and Police Department
of the D.A.R.E. program, which will provide for the early
education of Winchester's youth on the problems associated
with drug and alcohol abuse.
o Formation of a special committee to advise the Town Meeting
on the future development and use of varsity athletic fields.
Over the years there have been many studies performed relating
to the upgrade of these facilities, and it is important that
a definitive action plan be developed. The demands of the
youth of Winchester on sports fields mandate that a positive
program be established, to ensure that quality facilities are
available.
