Municipal Managers Report
Town of Waterbury
Just about one year ago now, the new Municipal Center opened its doors. The dedication of the
building was held, fittingly, on February 12th, Abraham Lincolns Birthday. Dr. Henry Janes,
Civil War surgeon and Waterbury benefactor, stood with Lincoln at Gettysburg to hear the
presidents most famous address some 50 years before Dr. Janes left his home and a portion of
his estate, as a tribute to his wife Frances (Hall) Janes, to the Waterbury Public Library
Association.
Today, the Janes historic home has been beautifully restored and its function has been enhanced
with an attractive, modern addition. Most of the new space is home to the Waterbury Public
Library, a state of the art, two-story facility, complete with a computer caf, rooms for private
instruction, a large function room, as well as books, periodicals, and other materials to meet the
needs of patrons of all ages. The Waterbury History Center has prime display space in its
second floor museum in the restored Janes house and many pieces of its precious collection are
displayed throughout the building where the offices of Waterburys municipal government are
located.
It pleases me to report that the municipal office space is as functional and efficient as it is
beautiful. It is a bit difficult to remember, but along with its quaintness and pleasant aesthetics,
the municipal offices at 51 S. Main Street were functionally obsolete. The vault was not secure
against flooding or likely not fire or smoke. Foot traffic patterns in the building for the public
were awkward and the building lacked private areas where confidential discussions could take
place. The spaces used for public meetings were sorely inadequate and it was quite difficult to
conduct more than one meeting in the building at any given time.
After the flood in August of 2011, however, that old space didnt seem so bad. For nearly 3
months Town and Village governmental functions took place in one classroom at Thatcher
Brook Primary School. Meetings of the Select Board, Trustees, Planning Commission and so on
took place in the school cafeteria, library, in small conference rooms or at places such as St.
Leos Hall, under trees on its lawn, or in the Steele Block. After those 3 months finally passed,
FEMA left the Main Street Fire Station and most municipal offices moved into second floor
space in that building, which had just been built and which had withstood the flood with only
minor negative impacts.
Municipal staff, with the cooperation of a very generous public, made the space work for about
four and a half years. It was far less private than even 51 S. Main Street had been and it took
significant effort from staff to ready the space that housed offices by day, for meetings that were
held 3 or 4 evenings each week. Staff and board members conducted the normal day to day
business of the Town and Village in that second floor area. In addition and along with board
members and staff, many volunteers from the public worked there, tirelessly for months and
months, as the community staked out a path for the future for Waterburys municipal facilities
and institutions that ultimately led us all to the great space we are now using every day. We
9
remain grateful to fire department and auxiliary members who were willing to share their new
space with us in a gracious, accommodating manner.
After moving the furniture and materials of the library and municipal offices to the new building
and setting up the new space for use, I am happy to report that the Town and Village
government, as a whole, took a breather from conducting major projects. As most know, the
four to five year span immediately following Tropical Storm Irene were filled to overflowing
with projects, some long planned and others forced upon the community in an effort to recover
from the devastation of that storm.
Planning for the new Municipal Center began within a month of the disaster that forced
municipal government to leave 51 S. Main Street. We spent months and money considering our
options, including an attempt to purchase property and develop new space at the Stanley Hall site
at the states office complex. After that failed bond vote, the town shifted gears and concentrated
on the town owned Janes site, then home to the Waterbury Public Library.
In the second half of 2012, the Town first received planning funds from the states Community
Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery program. In late 2012 and early 2013 the Town began
to spend those funds for the development and ultimate construction of the Municipal Center.
Between late 2012 and through December of 2016, revenue of $5,354,673 from all sources had been
deposited into the Towns building fund. Spending from that fund over that same time totaled
$5,179,931.
Looking at the entire revenue of $5,354,673 that has supported the building project to date,
$3,917,579 are municipal funds and that includes more than $942,000 that came from the capital
campaign of the Library and Waterbury Historical Society or from library reserves. That leaves
$2,975,500 that came directly from the towns taxpayers, most of which $2,950,000 came from the
bond. Over the 20 year life of the bond, Waterbury tax payers will pay $4,170,979 for the
construction of this building, an average of $208,550 per year.
In addition to the $942,000 of funds deposited to the building fund from the capital campaigns,
additional amounts from the library, including more than the $100,600 in 2016 from the Friends of
the Library, were donated to the Municipal Building Operating Fund over the past few years. The
donations purchased equipment and furnishings for the facility and enhanced the landscaping of the
grounds. Looking at the building fund and the Municipal Building Operating Fund together during
this time span, I can safely suggest that the costs to construct and outfit this facility will be under
budget by $50,000 or more.
Between 2011 and 2016, during the same time we planned, financed and built the new Municipal
Center, the Town and Village constructed the roundabout and completed an upgrade of the
wastewater treatment plant to remove phosphorus from its effluent. The roundabout project cost
about $5.25 million and the phosphorus upgrade cost almost $5.50 million to complete. The
three projects together cost $15,929,000 and any one of them, normally, would have been the
communitys biggest project in a decades time span. Each required significant staff time and
significant financial resources from local, state and federal governments.
10
The 2011 flood and the communitys efforts to recover from the impacts of the storm were a
catalyst for 21 long-term community flood recovery projects that were in addition to the
Municipal Center project. Two emergency shelters were established and outfitted and permanent
emergency generators were added to three public buildings, including Thatcher Brook Primary
School that serves as one of the communitys emergency shelters. Studies of the flood plain
were conducted, out of which came projects to elevate homes, new zoning regulations, and
potential programs to re-connect flood plains. Work was undertaken to identify trail corridors
which may connect recreation areas and facilities to each other and to the downtown. In
addition, the Village and Town made a commitment to invest in activities to support economic
development, recreation, affordable housing and the arts.
It is difficult to compute the investment of public dollars into these activities and programs over
the past 5 and a half years. It is hard enough to count the money spent, but calculating the time
spent by staff, board members and volunteer members of the public is all but impossible. A
quick, but inexact tallying of the dollars directly spent on these 21 long term community
recovery projects shows another $1.5 million of public investments into the community,
including $425,000 invested by the Town and Village into affordable housing projects.
The flood was a seminal event in the history of this Town, changing in many ways the face and
direction of the community. Whether one agrees or not with the amount of public money spent
since 2011 on flood recovery efforts, the motivation behind the spending or the hoped for end
results, it is hard to argue that the last five years or so have not been some of the busiest, most
trying, and most exciting times many of us have experienced in our careers and lifetimes. As
this frenetic period comes to a close, I trust we can be sanguine about the prospects for our future
here in Waterbury.
Now, giving consideration to our immediate future and plans, I am happy to report that the Select
Board and I have worked with great diligence and care to develop a spending plan for 2017 that
keeps taxes in check, while at the same time providing services and projects that meet the needs
of the community as a whole. Taken together it appears that the three operating funds ended
2016 with a modest surplus of about $41,000. The surplus will be carried forward to 2017 and
will be added to non-tax revenues, lessening the property taxes necessary to be raised to support
this years budget.
The total spending proposed for 2017 in the general fund, the highway fund and the library fund
will be $4,411,120, if all the special article requests are approved. That is about $191,500 more
than last years combined spending that equaled $4,219,670 after approval of special articles.
The spending level is about 4.5% higher than the 2016 level. Transfers to the capital funds are
included in the spending totals of the operating fund, however, and this year the transfers are
higher than last years by nearly $41,000. Taking that into consideration, the rate of increase in
spending is really only about 3.5%, about 1.4% above the rate of inflation.
Some may ask why it is necessary for the budget increase to outpace the rate of inflation?
First and foremost it is because last years spending was a bit depressed, especially in lines
relating to wages and benefits. The Town entered 2016 with the knowledge that its zoning
11
administrator was resigning to take a new job. With that information, last years budget had a
vacancy of 8 weeks built into the spending plan. The same situation occurred in the budgets of
the recreation department and of the library. New positions were funded in last years budget for
both departments, but funds to fill those positions needed to be appropriated only for several
months rather than a full year as approval did not occur until April. At the start of 2017, all
approved positions are filled so unless an unforeseen resignation occurs later in the year, the
dollars budgeted for pay and benefits will be spent.
Except for the increase in the amount of money proposed to be transferred to the capital funds,
the budgets for the three operating funds maintain a level of service that is very similar to last
years plan. There are a few exceptions that affect the recreation and the highway departments.
Spending proposed for 2017 in recreation programing, not including the parks department
budget, is higher by nearly $26,000 compared to that of a year ago. Some of the additional
spending is directly related to the fact that voters chose last year to direct the town to hire a full-
time director of recreation. Other factors include a state mandated increase in the minimum
wage, which pushes higher the wages for entry level seasonal jobs. The new director has insisted
that more and better training be offered to staff, so additional spending for training adds almost
$3,500 to this years budget.
In addition, the department will be purchasing new computers and tablets for staff, as well as
software that will allow for program registration and reservations for facilities to be taken on-
line. The roll out of this new feature will start slowly. While on-line registrations and
reservations will be taken, payments will continue to be taken only by cash or check for the time
being. The on-line process will allow registrants and renters to see what programs and
facilities are open for sign up at a given moment. After submitting enrollment or rental request
information, a conditional enrollment or rental will be issued and a bill for the proper fee will be
generated and sent to the customer. If the customer pays the required fee by the noted due date,
the enrollment/reservation will be confirmed. If the system works as designed, the town will
move toward gaining the ability to take on-line payments by debit or credit cards. At this time,
it seems 2018 will be as early as the on-line payment system can be put in place.
The budget for the highway department is higher than last years by about $102,000 or 6.8%.
The transfer of money to capital funds is higher by $25,000 and this is in an attempt to keep up
with spending that is necessary for the maintenance of highway infrastructure and for the
purchase of highway equipment and vehicles. Most of the additional spending can be found in
the line items related to pay and benefits.
The Town does not intend to hire additional highway department personnel. However, the Select
Board has asked me to try to get more accomplished as pertains to highway maintenance. For
the past decade or so, in an attempt to keep spending down, I transferred one highway
department employee into the parks department for a 26 week period beginning in late April
each year. That employee mowed lawns, serviced and maintained equipment, picked up trash
and prepared ball fields for play, among other tasks.
12
In 2017, that employee will remain assigned to the highway department for the full year. The
deployment and use of highway department personnel for work on highway related projects will
increase by about 17% and the hope is that production on work related to highway maintenance
will increase, as well.
In the parks department budget, the part-time pay line has increased significantly as hiring
additional part-time staff will be necessary to replace the time once spent by the transferred
highway department employee. Other personnel costs in the parks department budget have
dropped, however, as costs for benefits and insurance are lower for part-time employees than
they are for full-time employees.
The cost increases in the highway budget are greater than the cuts in the parks budget so there is
a net cost to tax payers as a result of these decisions. We will work hard to make sure this
increase in costs proves worth it, resulting in an improved highway system and in park facilities
that continue to be well maintained.
As always, the most visible spending by the Town is for capital projects and purchases. The
proposed spending for each capital improvement fund can be seen most easily by looking at the
CIP Snapshot, found on page 24 of this report, where spending is listed by project. The list is
fairly self-explanatory, but I will point out three major highlights.
Continuing efforts to catch up on paving needs, the Select Board is proposing to spend about
$376,000 to pave Class III town highways in 2017. Last year the town spent $263,700 in total
rather than $391,100 as planned. The reduced amount reflected the fact that the Town did not
receive a grant of $108,000 from the state for which we applied. None of the streets on the
paving schedule this year qualify for state grants, so the Select Board is asking voters to approve
a loan of $140,000 to allow the proposed work to be done and to keep the paving reserve fund
out of a deficit position.
The Select Board has agreed to include in the Fire Vehicle Fund a purchase of a tower truck to
replace the present vehicle that was built in 1979, refurbished in 1991 and purchased by the
Town in 1994 for $175,000. A purchase price of $450,000 has been included in this years
budget to allow for the purchase of another used tower truck. New ones carry price tags of more
than $1 million, but the department members, the Select Board and I believe a good used one can
be purchased for the price we can afford. The Select Board and I also recommend that voters
authorize $160,000 of borrowing toward the purchase of this vehicle.
The Towns highway vehicle replacement fund has a rather substantial surplus coming into the
year. The board is recommending the approval of the purchase of a new road grader in 2017.
The anticipated cost for a new machine is $290,000. Consideration will be given to a used
machine, as well, but the supply of good used graders is limited. No borrowing will be necessary
to cover the cost of this purchase.
As you will see if you look at the details of the CIP budgets, not all projects included in the
budget from year to year are undertaken or completed. Even if both requests for borrowing are
approved, the Select Board and I will review the actual capital spending for the year before notes
13
that total up to $300,000 are issued. If, after taking revenues and expenditures into
consideration, the net costs of the capital improvements and vehicles are such that they can be
covered with no borrowing or less borrowing, the Town will issue less debt than is authorized.
My final comments concern the tax rate for 2017. The Select Board asked me to prepare budgets
that would keep the tax rate unchanged from the $.45/$100 rate that was set by the Select Board
for 2016, early last summer when the Grand List was formally lodged with the town clerk. The
operating budgets that I have presented to the board, which they now submit to you for approval
at Town meeting, will require a property tax effort of $3,274,270. If the Grand List increases by
1% from last years level, the tax rate for 2017 will be $.4429. If the voters approve the budget
and all the special articles, as requested, in the amount of $51,350, the required tax rate will be
$.4499/$100 of valuation.
I hope that you as voters will vote to approve this budget. You have asked for more programs
and services over the last few years. Permanent positions were added to the recreation
department and to the library department last year and now we must include costs for those
positions for a full year. The public has demanded more spending for economic development to
encourage job and housing growth. We have completed several major highway and sidewalk
construction projects over the last three years and we built a new Municipal Center to house our
municipal offices, a greatly expanded and improved library and our History Center.
In late June 2011, two months before the disaster of Tropical Storm Irene, the Select Board set
the town tax rate at $.34/$100. If you pass this budget, the tax rate for 2017 will likely be
$.45/$100. The average annual percentage increase over the 6 years since 2011 is 5.3%. While
the annual rate of inflation over that time period is in the 2% range, I hope the public will agree
that the town was forced to undertake many projects and much spending in response to that
awful natural disaster of nearly six years ago. In that time just before and after Irene, we have
improved several public buildings, upgraded infrastructure and have built a more resilient
community. I think the price of our recovery and these improvements have been a bargain and I
believe the public does as well. I encourage you to attend Town meeting, to make your concerns
known and to support the 2017 budgets and capital spending plans, as proposed.
I very much appreciate the fine staff that works with me here in the office and throughout the
Town and Village. The services that I work to insure on your behalf are possible only through
the dedicated work of these employees. To the Select Board and all the other elected officials I
work with, and to those who serve as appointees to the several public boards and commissions, I
express my thanks for the efforts you make, mostly as volunteers, to make this a wonderful
community in which to live, work and play. I also want to acknowledge and thank my wife,
Ingrid, for all the support and love she gives to me every day as I try to serve Waterburys
interests.

SELECT BOARD REPORT
The past year has been exciting and in some ways a quiet year for your Town
government. The Town/Village staff, the Library staff, and the Historical Society were all
excited to settle into their new spaces in the new municipal building. We are all
appreciative of the citizens of Waterbury for voting to build a new municipal facility to
counter the devastation of Tropical Storm Irene.
Accomplishments by your Select Board this past year were the adoption of new Flood
Hazard Area Regulations as researched, developed, adapted, and amended by the hard
work and perseverance of the Towns Planning Commission. These new regulations will
provide building construction and renovation guidelines for projects in the Village flood
zone. Many thanks go to the members of this commission for their efforts and advocacy
of getting new regulations in place this year: Chair, Ken Belliveau; Vice Chair, Mary
Koen; Rebecca Washburn, and Sarah McShane.
Due to concerns and advocacy by residents living on upper Stowe Street, the Select
Board installed two speed control signs that flash the speed of vehicles traveling either
north or south on Stowe Street. There have been many near misses of children boarding
busses and of bikers and pedestrians on this narrow street. Our goal is for motorists to be
more aware of their speed as they use this very busy residential street in our Town.
There were three new hires this year. Deb Fowler is our new Recreation Director who
started working full-time this past June. Dina Bookmyer-Baker started as the new zoning
administrator in March and Ben Susman is our new Animal Control Officer (ACO), who
was hired in late spring. A big thank you to Zeb Towne, Duxburys ACO who filled in
while we completed a search and hire for a new ACO and in assisting Ben in his first few
months in his new role in town.
The new northbound off ramp bridge was entirely rebuilt and completed this year.
VTrans has a few touch-up items to complete this spring including a clean up of the
construction area to finish up all the Interstate 89 bridgework at Exit 10. This spring
VTrans will begin the re-paving of Rte. 100. At present, the tentative schedule for 2017
has the project commencing at the light at Shaws, extending about 5 miles to the north.
This schedule has not been finalized and it is possible the project may begin in Stowe,
extending south. Either way, there will be major construction somewhere on this
segment of Rte. 100 this year. Please stay tuned and be patient while traveling this
corridor.
In closing, and on behalf of the rest of the Select Board members, I want to thank all of
our Town employees for their diligent work this past year and especially Bill Shepeluk,
for his efforts in managing a Town and Village government and three other commissions.

TAX STABILIZATION FUND
Waterbury voters established a Tax Stabilization Fund in 1997. The equity payment made by the
Town of Duxbury to the Town of Waterbury at the inception of the Waterbury-Duxbury School
District was used to start the fund.
The principal amount of $644,000 was invested in 1997 to generate interest, dividends and capital
appreciation. If needed, and when the total annual gain in the fund exceeds three-percent, a
portion of the annual appreciation may be transferred to the general fund to stabilize tax rates
from one year to the next. During most years since the funds inception, money has been
transferred to the General Fund. Transfers cannot be made from the Tax Stabilization Fund to the
General Fund if the balance in the Fund is below the original principal amount of $644,000.
In 2016, no transfer of money from the Tax Stabilization Fund was made, based on the
performance of the Tax Stabilization Fund in 2015. Total appreciation in the fund during
calendar year 2016 was 6.20 percent and therefore, a transfer of $28,200 from the Tax
Stabilization Fund to the General Fund is scheduled in 2017.
A total of $504,191 has been transferred from the Tax Stabilization Fund to the General Fund
beginning in 1998. The average amount transferred over the 20 years since the funds creation in
1997 is $25,210 and that includes 9 years when no transfer occurred. When made, transfers
average about $45,830 per year.

BOARD OF LISTERS
This last year was one of transition for the Town of Waterbury. Our long time Assessor,
Tom Vickery, retired on December 31. Tom had served the Town and Village of Waterbury for
nearly 40 years having first come to Waterbury in the early 1980s to assist with an ongoing
Town wide reappraisal. He remained as the Town Assessor a role in which he was always fair
and transparent with the residents of the Town and Village. Tom has not fully retired as he is
now engaged in the reappraisal for the Town of Isle LaMotte and in consulting with the Town of
Cambridge Listers office. He may be seen around Waterbury as the transition to the new
Assessor is completed. The Assessors duties are now being handled by former Lister, Dan
Sweet who resigned as Lister to assume the Assessors duties. Dan has been working closely
with Tom over the past year as well as completing educational requirements to be recognized by
the State of Vermont as a certified Assessor. Dan hopes to be able to assist the Town to the high
standard that Tom had set for many years.
As indicated in last years Listers report, properties in the Village that were impacted by
Tropical Storm Irene had shown a substantial rebound in sale prices and as a group were
addressed by lowering the Economic Depreciation from 30% to 15% which in turn brought
assessment levels in line with selling prices. This change moved the block of floodplain
properties from assessments that were 87.6% of selling price to 99.3% of selling price, values
that are more in line with the rest of the Town. This group of properties is not showing the same
movement of selling prices to assessed values this year but there is an incremental increase of all
sale prices relative to assessed values with an annual ratio of 96.8% for Town wide residential
sales. The point that is being illustrated is that the Assessor and the Board monitors sales every
year and will make corrections to the Grand List either to similar groups of properties or to
individual properties to ensure equity and a fair tax burden to all Waterbury residents.
The Annual Equalization Study which sets the Common Level of Appraisal (CLA) that
was prepared by the State has been appealed this year as in years past. The specifics of the
appeal have to do with the aforementioned floodplain properties and their reassessed values
being used for the equalization study instead of their depressed values of 2015. Utilization of
the old assessments results in a group ratio of 87.87% or a ratio of 98.67% with the revised
assessment values. The overall impact to the CLA is minor as this is one subgroup of the largest
group of properties in the Town. However, it is important that this office review each
equalization study as the CLA is a determinant in the level of Education Tax Rates as established
by the Legislature each year.
Current Use activty has been relatively quiet in Town this year after the Easy Out process
that occurred in 2015. We currently have 71 parcels enrolled in the Current Use Program
representing a total of 6,619 acres. Major changes to these numbers are not expected in the near
term as the cost of removing land form the program has become somewhat more expensive than
in years past.

WATERBURY CEMETERY COMMISSION
2016 Annual Report
The Cemetery Commissioners had a busy year maintaining the Towns cemeteries in 2016.
The biggest event was the final transfer of the Hope Cemetery Associations assets and liabilities
to the Town. The Commissioners will now have control of the cemetery. The transfer of the
financial assets will help start the process of restoration and improved general maintenance. In
the late summer the old chain link fence and overgrown vegetation behind the Congregational
Church was removed and replaced with a handsome black aluminum fence. The eight oak trees
planted in 2015 are doing well.
Maple Street Cemetery is being well maintained by the Highway Department. They mow this
cemetery and the Old Center Cemetery on Route 100. A new overhead door for the shed was
purchased and installed.
A River Runs Through It Garden Club continued to take care of the entrance plantings at Old
Center Cemetery. We thank the members of the club for the dedication to make the area
attractive every year.
An interesting discovery occurred in 2016 when a property owner found a gravestone buried in
his backyard. It was inscribed with the name Olivia Linfield who died in 1909. Commissioner
Barbara Walton did some research and found that she was from Waterbury but was living in
Northfield when she died. Her parents are buried in the Old Center Cemetery. There was no
record of where she was buried but the Commissioners decided that the stone should be placed
next to her parents grave and that was done in the fall.
The Commissioners wish to thank the Town for financial and personnel support during the year.
It is important to maintain our cemeteries as a symbol of respect for those who have gone before
us.
We noted with sadness the passing of Leon Sam Parks on August 28th. Sam, a lifelong
Waterbury resident, was a Cemetery Commissioner for more than 40 years. He was also a
longtime member of the Hope Cemetery Association and worked with dedication and devotion
to oversee that cemetery for decades. He is interred in Hope Cemetery alongside his beloved
wife, Mary Ellen.

COMMUNITY PLANNERS REPORT
2016 will be remembered as the year we moved into our new space at the Municipal Center with
the Planning Department in the back of the former Janes House. We have organized this great
space efficiently to serve the public and accomplish a wide variety of routine and special
projects.
This was a year for wrapping up flood recovery projects related to Tropical Storm Irene, and
moving on to focus on other planning, zoning, and transportation related work. We have
continued the work of the Floodplain Management Working Group that includes local, regional,
and state representatives as detailed in the Groups Annual Report. One of our key
accomplishments in 2016 was joining the FEMA sponsored Community Rating System (CRS) in
October. In order to sustain our Level 9 rating that results in a 5% reduction in the premiums
paid for flood insurance, we are required to continue managing our 100-year floodplain areas
through regulation, public outreach, and the conservation of floodplain open space where
appropriate.
The following are highlights of the other work of the Planning Department, accomplished
through teamwork with the Planning Commission, various municipal working committees,
community organizations, and fellow staff members:
The Town was successful in obtaining Village Center Designation for the triangle green area
of Waterbury Center village. The application to the state Dept. of Housing and Community
Development was approved by the Downtown Development Board in June, 2016. This
designation will enable the owners of income producing properties in the area to utilize state
and federal income tax credits for building rehabilitation projects.
We also worked closely with Revitalizing Waterbury, Inc., our downtown organization, to
apply for renewal of Downtown Designation for the core area of the Village of Waterbury.
In November, near the 10th anniversary of obtaining Downtown Designation, the state
Downtown Development Board approved the renewal for another five years.
After two years of hard work and numerous public meetings, the draft Flood Hazard Area
Regulations were approved in May, 2016. The amendments are intended to strike a balance
between protecting public safety and welfare, and facilitating economic development and re-
development of floodplain areas, especially in the Village of Waterbury.
In December, 2016, the state offered the Town a Municipal Planning Grant to re-write
selected chapters of the Zoning Regulations. The funds will be used to hire a planning
consultant to assist with the re-write including the public process to gain input for proposed
amendments to the regulations. We will also be hiring a legal firm to review our current sign
regulations and proposed amendments to those bylaws, to make sure they are in conformance
with the federal Reed vs. the Town of Gilbert court case.
Early in 2016 we obtained a VTrans Bicycle/Pedestrian Program grant for the Colbyville -
Route 100 Corridor Sidewalk/Path Scoping Study. With the assistance of a consultant team
lead by Broadreach Planning & Design, the study will develop a plan for pedestrian and
bicycle facilities from the intersections of Route 100 with Stowe St./Blush Hill Rd. and
Crossroad/Laurel Ln. The project will develop alternatives for sidewalks and bike lanes in
this corridor then select preferred alternatives for future implementation.
In my role as the Enhanced 9-1-1 Coordinator for the Town and Village, I would like to remind
all those who have not properly signed their residences and businesses with the locatable address
49
number, that it is a requirement to be in compliance with our E-911 Ordinance Regarding Street
Naming and Street Addressing. The Ordinance is available on the municipal website,
http://waterburyvt.com, and has as one of its key purposes to enable emergency services to
arrive at a scene faster. The lack of a properly displayed address number can make it very
difficult for our emergency providers to find a location quickly.
I continued to serve as our representative to the Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission
(CVRPC). The main project we tackled in 2016 was the re-write and approval of the Central
Vermont Regional Plan. I also continued to serve as the Chair of CVRPCs Transportation
Advisory Committee.
Many thanks to Dina Bookmyer-Baker, our new Zoning Administrator, for getting on-board
quickly to handle a very busy year of development review. Thanks also to all the volunteers on
the municipal boards, commissions and committees including the Development Review Board,
Planning Commission, and Conservation Commission for their teamwork in serving our
community. Also, many thanks to Jeff Larkin who served as chair of both the Village Zoning
Board of Adjustment and then the Development Review Board for many years.

WATERBURY CONSERVATION COMMISSION
In 2016 the Waterbury Conservation Commission (WCC) continued its work to advocate for and
inform residents and municipal planning about the Towns natural resources.
The WCC organized its fourth annual birding event, this year at the CCC camp at Little River
State Park with the help of Anne Imhoff. This was an excellent opportunity to visit a natural and
historic gem in Waterbury as well as learn about the many birds that call it home. The WCC has
continued to work to develop a strategic plan to outline objectives and actions. This plan will
guide the WCC through the next few years by outlining conservation priorities, action items and
a timeline for each, providing resources for future members. We will be working through 2017 to
complete a draft of the plan. It will available online for the public to review.
The WCC has continued its involvement with the Shutesville Hill Wildlife Corridor and
partnership. The partnership, a coalition of conservation partners, received a grant for planning
for conservation strategies within the corridor. The WCC helped to organize two public
presentations about wildlife in Vermont; one about amphibians and reptiles and another about
wildlife in northern climates. These events have been well attended and continue to inform
community members about wildlife and wildlife habitat. As part of its concern for protection of
the Shutesville Hill Wildlife Corridor, the WCC has actively participated in the ongoing
conversations regarding a proposed cell tower in Waterbury.
Additionally WCC, in conjunction with The Vermont River Conservancy, organized a targeted
outreach effort for landowners along Thatcher Brook to consider conservation strategies to
protect the floodplain.
The WCC will continue its advocacy and education for the conservation of our natural, scenic,
historical, cultural, and recreational resources. As of Dec. 31, 2016, the WCC has a couple of
open seats. We invite the public to attend our meetings and consider joining. Please check the
municipal website for meeting times and locations.

WATERBURY FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Waterbury Fire Department responded to a total of 193 incidents in 2016, which is a significant
drop of 57 calls from 2015. Much of the reduction can be attributed to the very mild winter that also
had an impact on the number of vehicle crashes or slide offs that we responded to. The average
response time from being notified on our pagers to having the first truck on scene is 11 minute 17
seconds. There are a number of factors that go into this, to include the number of mutual aid calls we
respond to in other towns. Annually we respond to a number of incidents where a residential fire or
carbon monoxide alarm is activated and find that the detector is old (over 10 years) or the batteries
have not been changed in over a year. We encourage residents to change the batteries twice a year,
when you change your clocks. If you have an alarm, please do not hesitate to call 911 to report it. Do
not call the non-emergency fire department number and leave a message as it could be days before
someone listens, as we are a volunteer department.
The fire department has a roster of 50 members. Although the roster changes throughout the year, we
have maintained a solid number for quite some time. Members of the department conducted in the area
of 2,171 hours of training in 2016. The department conducts regular training twice a month which is
typically two hours per night. Throughout the year, we utilize a number of different buildings for
training. We also conduct tours of businesses to get an understanding of the lay-out of the building,
access points, and hazards that the building poses. We appreciate the support from them as well as the
rest of the community. Regular monthly maintenance is also conducted to insure that the apparatus
and equipment is ready to go. We work with the Highway Supervisor and mechanic on maintenance
issues that the members cannot resolve ourselves.
This year, the Departments tower truck needs to be replaced. The Town of Waterbury purchased and
placed it into service in 2003. It was already 24 years old when we received it. This truck is not on a
regular replacement plan as we always purchase good quality used trucks. Because of this, it is always
a challenge to get one that is not too old, and can last in the area of ten years or so. We purchased the
current one 14 years ago. It was built in 1979 and the body was refurbished in 1991. For Waterbury to
replace this truck with a new one would cost in the area of $1,000,000. We do not support getting a
new one, but will seek to find one for less than half that cost that is around 10-15 years old and will
last 15 plus years.
I want to thank the community as a whole for its support of the Fire Department. Without your support,
we cant help you. No organization is good without the efforts of the members in it. Fortunately, we
have great dedicated members that make our department the best there is. The Fire Department
auxiliary also deserves our thanks for assisting with providing food and drinks during calls and training
this past year. This past year their numbers have about doubled in membership. They are truly a great
group of dedicated community members that work behind the scenes. Our relationship with the
Waterbury Ambulance is as good as it has ever been. They continue to assist with live burns as well as
responding to other emergencies that we have. They are there for the wellbeing and protection of our
members in the event something happens. Finally, I need to thank the family members and significant
52
others who support the firefighters. Without your support, it would make it difficult for the members to
be involved.
This past year, we had some milestones with members. Scott Woodard and Stacey Currier achieved
their 25 year mark and were added to the list of Quarter Century Club (QCC) members. This makes 16
current members that have at least 25 years on the department. With these two additions, the
department now has 569 years of service with just these current QCC members.
Lastly, I want to publicly thank a member who has decided that it was time to get done. Members have
to balance the department with family and job responsibilities. Brad Doane put in 16 years on the
department. He was as dedicated as any member could be. Unfortunately family and job
responsibilities made it difficult for him to dedicate the time that he believed the department was due.
During his years of service, Brad was very instrumental in getting the Fire Department and the Town
grants. To say that he was directly involved in saving thousands of dollars would be an understatement.
He was also very instrumental in the entire station replacement process. His hard work and dedication
made the entire process smoother and easier to understand.

2016 Floodplain Management Working Group Annual Report
The former Long-Term Recovery Committee transitioned into the Floodplain Management
Working Group (FMWG) two years ago to incorporate remaining recovery projects into longer
term flood and river related planning and mitigation activities. Waterbury has successfully
completed most of the 22 project goals identified in the Waterbury Long Term Recovery Plan in
the 5 years following Tropical Storm Irene. This will be the final recovery report for Tropical
Storm Irene projects although planning and mitigation efforts will continue to help protect
Waterbury residents and properties from all future hazardous events.
Here is a list of the visible improvement projects that were completed through a variety of
funding sources, both public and private.
Neighborhood recovery including Main, Randall and Elm Streets and other streets
The former mobile home park, now the Main Street Cottages, by the roundabout with 11
houses elevated above the flood plain
At least 3 private property elevations above the 100-year floodplain
The State Office Complex A restored and flood-proofed complex that was re-occupied by
approximately 1,300 workers in 2016
The new energy efficient Waterbury Municipal offices, Library and History Center next to
municipal ballfields
Ladd Hall on South Main Street 27 units of affordable housing
The new Hunger Mountain Childrens Center on South Main Street due to open shortly
An Economic Development Director that works specifically to retain, recruit and expand
local business opportunities.
Public outreach and education on floodproofing, construction, zoning and planning in and
around the floodplain have taken place. A flume/stream table has been utilized at public
events to demonstrate variables that can change river dynamics
There are also many invisible projects that have been undertaken that are also critical to
Waterburys recovery. They include:
Countless hours of meetings with local officials, community members, state and federal
governments to forge a recovery plan with 22 priority projects
Grant writing and project management to secure funds for many of the recovery projects
Approved Community Rating System A program of the National Flood Insurance Program
that helps reduce insurance premiums due to the rigorous community preparedness levels.
This became effective in October 2016. Public outreach efforts will continue to educate the
community through meetings, social media, newspaper articles, and local involvement on
ways to mitigate and protect itself from future events
Newly approved Flood Hazard Zoning Bylaws designed to protect public and private
investments
Several flood studies including river corridor planning to fully understand the dynamics of
the Winooski River and its impact on the core of the village properties
55
The Long-Term Community Recovery Committee met for two years following Irene to
coordinate the flood recovery effort. A subset of that group, now the Floodplain
Management Working Group, continues to meet monthly to oversee several flood related
projects in an advisory role to the Planning Commission and Select Board. The Floodplain
Management Working Group (FMWG) coordinates and makes recommendations for grant
opportunities and is in the process of updating the Waterbury Hazard Mitigation Plan due
to be completed in 2017
Three years of AmeriCorps VISTA members to help plan, write grants and organize the
projects listed above
Emergency generators for the municipal water and sewer services and the Thatcher Brook
Elementary School
A new flood-proofed sewer pump station
A full-time Recreation Director to maintain and enhance recreation facilities and
opportunities for children and families
A Downtown Master Plan and Branding Plan was completed thanks to recovery funding
through the Vermont Downtown Program that Revitalizing Waterbury is carrying out. This
plan will result in continued improvements and enhancements for the downtown
businesses, especially when Main Street is reconstructed starting in 2018. The banners
around the village are a visible outcome of this project.

Waterbury Public Library Commissioners
It is hard to believe that the new Waterbury Public Library has been open for a little more than a
year. During this time, we have excitedly watched as more people come to use the library for a
variety of new purposes. The SAL Community room has hosted programs from lessons on
bicycle repair to tai chi classes to small-business workshops. The small-group spaces on the
upper floors have been very popular and are being used for small meetings and classes as well as
a place for quiet work and study. The vision of Waterburys library as a community gathering
place is beginning to take shape and we look forward to building on the incredible amount of
work that has been undertaken this past year.
This Spring, look for two new gardens on the far side of the parking lot. Thanks to the work of
many volunteers, the library will have both a word garden for people of all ages to share thoughts
or make poetry with word-emblazoned stones and a book garden filled with flowers and herbs
with ties to popular books. Special thanks to Tricia Olesen, Mary Spencer, Louise Reed, Claire
Shepard, Rhonda Hannon, Mary Beth Gorham, Alice Durkin, Harriet Grenier, Mary Miller, the
fabulous Rotarians, Revitalizing Waterbury, and the A River Runs Through It Gardening Club
for making these gardens possible. We hope the gardens will encourage people to be creative,
enjoy reading outside, or simply have a space to take in their natural surroundings.
With the new library space comes the need for updating library policies and procedures and the
Library Commissioners have begun this work in accordance. We continue to adapt and change
along with a new space and new collections, different types of programming, and new patrons.
Our continued goal is to ensure access to all Waterbury residents and support the needs of a
growing library. Our vision for the Waterbury Public Library is more than a building filled with
books. It is a place for meeting, engaging ideas, continuing learning, and interacting with the
world around us. Thank you again to the Waterbury voters, the generous Capital Campaign
donors, the tireless librarians who managed the transition, and the volunteers who have given
their time.

LIBRARY DIRECTORS REPORT
The past year brought amazing changes to the Waterbury Public Library! In February 2016 the
doors opened onto a beautiful, bright, accessible, space for reading, learning, working and
collaborating. We thank you, Waterburys taxpayers, and the many donors who also supported
the capital campaign, for making this beautiful new space a reality.
Each week the Library welcomes community members of all ages and diverse backgrounds.
Parents are discovering that the new library has many more resources and much more space for
children to explore and for families to nurture young readers. The three childrens computers
and the offline early learning station with educational games are popular with school-aged
children, as are the tables where they can work on homework and nooks where they can socialize
with their friends after school.
The six public computers for adults are always busy, while the tables and the caf seating are
great places for laptop users to get some work done while the kids are in school. The seating
areas and small meeting rooms on the second floor are in great demand, too. In its first year, the
Librarys second floor meeting rooms hosted more than 150 small group meetings and study
sessions, while 33 meetings of community organizations took place in the larger SAL Room on
the first floor.
The SAL Room is the go-to spot for most Library programs, too, from Lego club, e-textiles and
coding classes for kids to iPad trainings, book discussions, trout fishing, and even pie-baking for
adults. Opportunities to learn and share skills have expanded beyond expectations, thanks to the
availability of this onsite program space and plenty of parking. Having the SAL Room also
allows the Library to partner with Waterbury Recreation to further expand learning and
recreational opportunities for youth and adults. Virtually any topic can be the subject of a library
program, and our Program Coordinator welcomes ideas and requests from community members.
One of the most exciting changes at the Library in 2016 was the addition of a half-time
Technology Librarian. Since joining the staff in June, Delia Gillen has helped many community
members learn to use a computer, get acquainted with their own laptops and personal devices,
download free audio books and eBooks from our digital library, and create rsums, slide shows
and movies. The one-on-one sessions and small group workshops are free by appointment or
registration.
New programs, more computers, building-wide wi-fi access, meeting spaces, and personalized
technology help are just some of the ways your new library is becoming a real community
center. We invite all Waterbury residents to stop by and get acquainted with the possibilities at
Library in 2017.

PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
After a long two-year process, the Planning Commission worked with the Town Select Board
and Village Trustees to finalize the draft Flood Hazard Area Regulations that were approved on
May 16, 2016.
Regarding other floodplain related work, the Planning Commission helped oversee the work of
the Floodplain Management Working Group (FMWG) that includes representatives of the Town
and Village of Waterbury, the Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission, the State of
Vermont, and the non-profit organization, the Friends of the Winooski. One of the major
projects that was accomplished by the FMWG was joining the FEMA sponsored Community
Rating System (CRS) in October, 2016. The Town and Village both entered at a Level 9 that
results in a 5% reduction in the premiums paid for flood insurance by some private property
owners in the 100-year floodplain.
Regarding other zoning related work, the draft Campus & Downtown Area Zoning Bylaw
Amendments that were initially developed by the Planning Commission as interim bylaws, were
approved by the Village Trustees and Town Select Board in March, 2016 as permanent zoning
amendments. These zoning bylaws facilitate development and re-development of downtown
Waterbury and the properties that have been part of the State Office Complex and the state is
considering divesting.
The Planning Commission assisted in applying for a state Municipal Planning Grant to re-write
selected chapters of the Zoning Regulations. The grant was offered in December, 2016 and the
funds will be used to hire a planning consultant to assist with the re-write including the public
process to gain input for proposed amendments to the regulations. We will also be hiring a legal
firm to review our current sign regulations and proposed amendments to those bylaws, to make
sure they are in conformance with the federal Reed vs. the Town of Gilbert court case.
The Planning Commission participated in developing the application for Village Center
Designation for the triangle green area of Waterbury Center village. The application to the State
Dept. of Housing and Community Development was approved by the Downtown Development
Board approved the designation in June, 2016.
The Planning Commission worked on a Future Development Study for the Village of Waterbury
with mapping assistance from CVRPC. A set of five maps, including the existing Village of
Waterbury and the adjacent areas to the west, north, and east, were developed including Land
Use / Land Cover, Significant Natural Resources, Steep Slopes, Public Utility and Facilities, and
Historic Districts. Various opportunities and constraints for future higher density residential,
commercial, and industrial development were analyzed and discussed. A public meeting was
held with the property owners in the study area, and other members of the municipality to obtain
additional input. Next steps will include working with the Village Trustees, Town Select Board,
and the Sewer and Water Commissioners to gain their input on where future development should
occur and where there may be opportunities to serve that development with public water and
wastewater.
60
The Planning Commission assisted in obtaining a VTrans Bicycle/Pedestrian Grant to carry out
the Colbyville Pedestrian/Bicycle Scoping Study. The project was initiated late in 2016 with our
consultant team led by Broadreach Planning and Design. The Planning Commission is
participating in the Steering Committee for the project. The project will develop alternatives for
providing pedestrian and bicycle facilities in the Route 100 corridor in the Colbyville area, and
then select preferred alternatives for future implementation.

RECREATION DIRECTORS REPORT
This was a year of change, reassessment and restructuring for the Recreation Department. Given
the change in staffing, the summer programming had to be put together quickly. In the end, the
day camp was a successful, full day camp program. Use of the pool increased by about 30% in
all areas, compared to the past several years. Pool and Camp staff have really turned their focus
to training to ensure we provide top quality programs, as well as safety, to all the people who use
our programs. Our efforts were widely appreciated and the feedback we received at the end of
the summer was encouraging. The Mini Camp program was not as successful this year, as only a
few camps were held due to the late start getting information out to the public. We will work
hard to get information about the programs out to the public much earlier this year with the hope
it will help people plan their summer more efficiently.
Once again, Recreation staff was able to help with the River of Lights parade, held on December
3, 2017. This community event has grown to become a town favorite, drawing hundreds of
people to both the parade and the park in celebration. Next year we plan to form a committee to
run the event, as it has grown too big to be planned by just two people.
The Recreation Department participated in Winterfest 2017 this past winter. The Rec
Department offered four events and provided most of the fields and facilities where activities
took place. In addition, the Town provided much of the necessary insurance coverage free of
charge. Winterfest is now a self-funded event produced by a non-for-profit organization called
FORWARD. This organization is not affiliated with the Town but does, from time to time,
donate a portion of the funds raised to the Town Recreation Department and to other
organizations that sponsor recreation events in the community.
A new focus this year is year-round programming. We are trying to offer a variety of programs
to many different age groups within our community and the surrounding area. Programs being
considered include: co-ed drop in Volleyball; Memoir Writing; Young Rembrandts Art Program,
vacation camps, kids night out; swim lessons; and swim instructor training programs. My hope is
once programs catch on, they can continue being added as programs to the Recreation calendar.
Last year the Town spent money to improve the floors at the Recreation Building. In 2017, our
hope is to find funds to replace the play structure at Anderson Field, as much of the playground
structure is dated and worn out. A new playground will enhance what is already offered at the
park. We will continue to search for opportunities to improve the fields, buildings and recreation
amenities the Town now owns.
To that end, a thorough review of the fees associated with all of our fields, facilities and
programs has been conducted. Research shows there have been few significant changes to the
fees since the 1990s. A new fee structure is proposed to be put in place this year. Increased fees
can be a small funding source to allow for upgraded facilities that can be used as we seek
opportunities for additional future programs.
I look forward to wonderful recreation adventures with as many of you as possible.
Deb Fowler, Director

TOWN & VILLAGE CLERKS REPORT
As I was writing this report last year, we were moving into the new Municipal Center, with the
move completed on January 18th, 2016. It is hard to believe a year has passed since our
transition from our temporary quarters (4 years) at the Main Street Fire Station. The
Municipal Office, Library, and History Center are functioning beautifully at 28 North Main
Street. The space is bright and efficient, and will serve the needs of our community for decades. I
hope you have had the chance to stop in and visit us over the past year.
It was an incredibly busy election year during 2016, as even numbered years often are. Town
Meeting was on March 1st in conjunction with the Presidential Primary Election. Village Meeting
followed on March 2nd. On June 7th, residents of Waterbury, Duxbury, Fayston, Waitsfield,
Warren and Moretown passed a vote to approve the merger of the school districts into the
Harwood Unified Union School District. All 6 communities voted in favor of the merger. The
State Primary Election was held on August 9th, followed by the General Election on November
8th. With early and absentee voting starting at least 45 days ahead in a state or federal election,
there were only two months during the year where there was no voting activity!
We completed a project in 2016 and currently have approximately 25 years of records digitized.
In addition, all but the most recent survey maps are digitized, totaling almost 1,200 maps. A
portion of recording fees are set aside in a dedicated fund, and as funds become available we
continue to digitize older records.
The Select Board and Village Trustees met in excess of their scheduled twice monthly meetings
during the year; which included Joint meetings and meetings with the Planning Commission.
They are truly committed to their responsibilities as our elected officials and to the needs of the
community. Their positive attitude, hard work, and perseverance is to be commended. For a
record of the meeting minutes, visit http://www.waterburyvt.com/boards/. As always, the public
is invited to attend meetings and participate in the process.
I am proud to live in Waterbury, and honored to serve you in my capacity as Town Clerk &
Treasurer.

The Zoning Regulations were updated with amendments to the Campus and Downtown Area
overlay districts and to the Flood Hazard Area Regulations, which were finalized and approved
in May 2016.
The municipal website includes the updated Zoning Regulations, maps, zoning permit
applications, and the fee schedule for permits. Also, the Zoning Permit Information web page
includes information about the permit process, including which types of projects require review
by the Development Review Board. Be sure to check out the link to our online parcel mapping
system, which allows users to view property zoning, owner information, floodplain and wetland
areas, and more.
Our Development Review Board (DRB) had a busy schedule reviewing applications under the
excellent leadership of David Rogers, the Chair, who took up the reins in May from Jeff Larkin.
Many thanks go out to Jeff for all of his years of service to the DRB. Tom Kinley and David
Frothingham, who have served as co-Vice Chairs since May, have done a great job of guiding
the proceedings in the Chairs absence. And the Board welcomed a new member, Rob
64
Dombrowski, who joined in April. In 2016 the Board held 23 public hearings and reviewed 51
applications (Village and Town combined) that included: 20 Setback Waivers, 11 Flood Hazard
Area, 11 Site Plan/Conditional Use, 7 Site Plan, 4 Ridgeline-Hillside-Steep Slope, 3 Subdivision,
3 Downtown Design Review, and 3 Appeals. Whew! The Board as a whole has done well,
carefully and efficiently reviewing each permit application. The DRB meets on the first and third
Wednesday each month. Agendas are posted on the municipal website, and paper copies are
displayed at the municipal offices, the post office, and a local bank one week before the meeting.
For properties in the floodplainplease note that zoning permits are required for any man made
changes; this includes flood damage repair work and interior renovations. Certificates of
Completion are also required as part of the permit process for properties in the floodplain. If you
have not sought a permit for planned or completed work, or have not finished the permitting
process by applying for a Certificate of Competition, then please contact the Zoning
Administrator.

WATERBURY TREE COMMITTEE
2016 Annual Report
2016 was the Tree Committees first full year having been sanctioned by the Select Board in
2015. It proved to be a very active and productive year.
Goals that we met in 2016 were:
In April we applied for a grant with the Vermont Urban and Community Forest Program to plant
five red maple trees in the Waterbury Center Green. We were awarded $1,000 and held a
successful tree planting celebration on October 9th in conjunction with an open house at the
Grange Hall Cultural Center. Everyone enjoyed themselves on a cold autumn afternoon where
we served pie and ice cream while the Waterbury Community Band played lively tunes. The
event was the first part of our plan to revitalize the Center Green.
Our mission is to educate and plan for the possibility of invasive species. On May 26th, Meredith
Whitney, Forest Pest Outreach Coordinator with the UVM Extension Service, gave a
presentation to approximately 60 people in the Steele Community Room entitled Invasives
Make Bad Neighbors; Manage, Prepare and Prevent the Spread of Invasive Pests. Meredith
also met with us in November to plan for a 2017 event regarding the Emerald Ash Borer that is
devastating much of the country.
For two days in August we worked with the UVM Extension Service and participated in a tree
inventory of Waterbury Village. Volunteers were recruited to canvass streets in the downtown
area and document conditions of trees in the public right of way. This inventory will help us
monitor future condition of these trees and access their health.
The Tree Committee wishes to thank the Town Public Works and Highway Departments, and the
many volunteers and businesses that have helped us during the past year in achieving our goals
and look forward achieving more goals in the new year.

CENTRAL VERMONT ADULT BASIC EDUCATION IN WATERBURY
Local Partnerships in Learning
Central Vermont Adult Basic Education (CVABE) is a community-based nonprofit organization

serving the adult education and literacy needs of Waterbury residents for more than fifty years.
CVABE serves as central Vermonts resource for free, individualized academic tutoring for
individuals (ages 16- 90+) in:
Basic skills programs: reading, writing, math, computer literacy
English Language Learning and preparation for U.S. citizenship
High school diploma and GED credential programs
Academic skill readiness for work, technical training and/or college
CVABE has six welcoming learning centers located throughout the organization's tri-county service
region, including our Waterbury Learning Center at 141 South Main Street in Waterbury. We
collaborate closely with schools, libraries, employers, and a great number of other community
resources to make our unique service locally accessible. Our welcome extends to everyone.
Last year alone, 25 residents of Waterbury enrolled in CVABEs free programs. In addition, 6
volunteers from Waterbury worked with CVABEs professional staff to deliver and support literacy
services. Teachers instruct students one-to-one and/or in small groups. Each student has a
personalized education plan to address his/her learning goals. These goals might include: getting or
improving ones job, earning a high school credential, helping ones children with homework,
budgeting and paying bills, reading important information, obtaining a driving license, preparing for
college, gaining citizenship, and more. As parents gain literacy, their children are twice as likely to
grow up literate themselves.
CVABE provides free instruction to approximately 500 people annually in its overall service area of
Washington, Orange and Lamoille Counties. Nearly all students are low income. It currently costs
CVABE $3,191 per student to provide a full year of instruction. Over 125 community volunteers work
with CVABEs professional staff to meet the large need for these services while keeping overhead low.
We are deeply appreciative of Waterburys voter-approved past support. This year, your level
support of $1,200 is again critical to CVABEs free, local education services. Only a portion of
CVABEs budget is comprised of state and federal support. Funding is needed each year from the
private sector and from the towns and cities we serve, to ensure we can help the many neighbors
who need education for a better life.

volunteer opportunities, contact:

2016 Annual Report

Central Vermont Economic Development Corporation
This year CVEDC is celebrating 40 years of supporting economic development in

Central Vermont. Over that history we have played a vital role in the development of businesses
throughout the region through financing, real estate development, workforce training and
more. We continue this tradition by being the one-stop-shop for any business question,
serving all of Washington County, plus the towns of Washington, Orange and Williamstown.
The Town of Waterbury continues to be a model of resilience, not only recovering from the
devastation of Tropical Storm Irene, but in fact coming back stronger with a renewed sense of
vitality. CVEDC worked closely in the recovery process, and looks forward to continuing to
support economic development in the Town and maintain the momentum. Entrepreneurism will
be a key to our shared future success, and CVEDC is committed to providing the tools and
support to foster and grow this sector.
CVEDC is working proactively to identify workforce training priorities for area
businesses, and creating training collaboratives to address these needs. The organization
established our first revolving loan fund during the 2016 summer, with plans to expand capacity
in the beginning of the 2017 fiscal year. Through our focus on access to capital for growing
businesses, coupled with workforce training to provide employees with the skills businesses
need, CVEDC will support economic growth that strengthens the regional economy for all.
Each year we ask for the support of the communities we serve through a request for
funding. These monies are leveraged with State and Federal dollars, as well as revenue
generated through private sector support, to provide significant business resources at no cost to
current and future businesses. This year CVEDC asks for your continued support with level
funding of $2,000. We appreciate your support in the past, and look forward to continuing to
work with you in the future to build a strong and vibrant regional economy.

Central Vermont State Police Community Advisory Board
1080 U.S. Route 2, Middlesex, VT 05602
The Middlesex Barracks of the Vermont State Police provides primary law enforcement services to the town of
Waterbury as well as supplemental services to the Village of Waterbury Police Department. Both departments
have a long history of mutual support and cooperative efforts in serving the citizens of the town and village of
Waterbury.
The Central Vermont State Police Community Advisory Board exists as a conduit for information between the
residents of Waterbury and the Middlesex Barracks. The Board is comprised of representatives from the
eighteen towns served by the troopers and staff of the Middlesex Barracks. The CVSPCAB has assisted
several of our member communities in setting up Neighborhood Watch Programs. The Board was created as
an initiative to keep the public informed on the changing role of the Vermont State Police and its impact on
crime in our towns and throughout Vermont. The town of Cabot has recently joined the Board and we look
forward to the contributions of their representatives.
The Board meets during alternate months for a total of six meetings a year. Each meeting features a
presentation concerning the variety of resources available through the Vermont State Police and the
Department of Public Safety. Presentations during 2016 included discussions with the Washington County
States Attorney, a Superior Court Judge, Washington County Mental Health as well as VSP efforts in human
trafficking investigations and coordination on counter-terrorism. The meetings also afford the opportunity to
discuss public safety concerns from the various communities. Middlesex VSP acquired a speed cart for
monitoring traffic on local highways and the cart has been deployed to a number of communities over the year,
including local roads in the town of Waterbury.
The Board also serves as a coordinating body for the communities in organizing an annual appreciation
celebration which is hosted for the VSP troopers and their families. This has been a well attended summertime
event where Board members can get to know more about the Middlesex VSP family in an informal setting.
Over several years, Waterbury has provided support for this gathering through contributions and by providing a
host site for the event. Participation on the Board has helped to foster better understanding and improved
relationships between the communities and the Vermont State Police at Middlesex.

The Childrens Room, The Early Education Resource Center of Waterbury, has deeply appreciated the support of the
people of Waterbury over the past 32 years. In addition to various fundraising events, we depend on generous grants from
local businesses and user donations for our sustainability. We greatly appreciate the funds that we have received in the
past, and would like to ask for your continued support in 2017 of funds not to exceed $4,000.
The mission of The Childrens Room is to support children, their families, and caregivers by providing opportunities for
playing, learning, and gathering with other community members. We are a non-profit, volunteer-run organization that
serves the families and caregivers of children from birth to age six. Our warm and welcoming drop-in center, located
within Thatcher Brook Primary School, is a support facility and hub of area parenting and care-giving resources. Our goal
is to promote childrens intellectual, emotional, social and physical development through highly accessible programming
options.
The Towns ongoing support will be essential in helping us to maintain our quality programming. As higher-cost, private
programs become even further out of the economic reach of many families in our community, weve seen an increased
demand for our free or extremely low-cost learning enrichment programs. These include weekly story and music hours,
nature programs, daily gym time, field trips to local attractions, parenting forums, and special educational events. In
addition, The Childrens Room sponsors many special events throughout the year to promote strong family and
community relationships. These include our Barn Dance, Halloween Party, Big Toy Night, Kids Fest, First Aid and CPR
courses, and the Wallace Farm field trip. Our center also provides access for meetings and childcare for local
organizations, such as the PTO, ELF, DCF, Odyssey of the Mind and others.
The Childrens Room is an active participant in early child development in Waterbury and its neighboring communities.
Our sign-in sheets indicate we served over 300 families last year, consisting of 1,971 child visits and 1,378 adult visits. Of
those at least 118 Waterbury families utilized our services during the year on many different occasions. These numbers do
not include attendance at our special events and monthly weekend playgroups, attracting upward of 50 families per event.
With a track record of community support stretching back over thirty years, it is our pleasure to see pioneering Childrens
Room users returning with their own children to utilize our services, to see middle and high school age alumni offering
their volunteer support for our current cadre of children, and to see the ongoing bridge of support that we offer our
students and their parents as they make the transition to community involvement at the elementary school level. Our long
term goal is to maintain this fundamentally important resource by continuing to hire excellent program coordinators,
remaining active and aware at the forefront of early educational development possibilities, periodically upgrading our
equipment and related learning and administrative technology, and maintaining a strong community presence to draw in
new room users and active board members.
We deeply appreciate your support for the children of Waterbury through your funding of The Childrens Room, and
thank you for your consideration of our request.

Re: Request for inclusion of Downstreet on the Waterbury Town Warning
Downstreet Housing & Community Development (formerly Central Vermont Community Land Trust) requests
to be included on the Town Warning for support of $750 from the Town of Waterbury. This amount is the same
that we have requested from Waterbury, and received, for the last six years.
We request this support as a pivotal affordable housing provider in Waterbury, where we have 17-units of
multi-family housing at Green Mountain Seminary and 16 units of senior housing at Stimson & Graves. Last
year we also completed and opened a 27-unit multi-family, handicapped- accessible building to replace the
flood damaged Ladd Hall.
We also continue to expand the Support and Services at Home program (SASH) in our Waterbury properties,
which improves health care outcomes in our elderly and disabled communities by getting participants the
support they need to live longer at home. For those who have enrolled for our full wellness program (both
residents and those from the community) we have worked with each individual to help them understand their
health needs, to help them connect to the many services (financial, medical, psychological, food, spiritual, etc.)
available to them and to provide friendly guidance along the way of better health and wellbeing.
On the homeownership side, Downstreet offers Waterbury residents:
Homebuyer education classes to prepare people for responsible homeownership
Post-purchase counseling
Foreclosure counseling
Low-interest loans for safety, healthy and energy upgrades to homes
As a community-based nonprofit organization, we need to generate support from the towns we serve, as well
as from individuals and area businesses. Further, our private and public sector funders want us to demonstrate
that we are seeking - and receiving - community support for our efforts. In this way, funding approval from the
towns we serve demonstrates that the citizenry recognizes and supports our commitment to sound community
development.
We would be grateful for a commitment from Waterbury this coming year.
Thank you,

Town report information for Green Up Day, May 7, 2016
Green Up Day marked its 46th Anniversary, with over 22,000 volunteers participating! Green Up Vermont, a nonprofit
501(c)(3) organization, continues to proudly carry on this tradition of Green Up Day. Green Up Vermont is not a State
Agency. Seventy-five percent of Green Up Vermonts budget comes from corporate and individual donations. People can
now choose to donate to Green Up Vermont by entering a gift amount on Line 29 of the Vermont State Income Tax Form.
As a result, Green Up Vermont has been able to significantly increase the percentage of individual giving, thus making
Green Up Day more stable for the long-term.
With your towns help, we can continue Vermonts unique annual tradition of taking care of our states lovely landscape
and promoting civic pride with our children growing up with Green Up. Green Up Day is a day each year when people
come together in their communities to give Vermont a spring cleaning! Green Up Vermont also focuses on education for
grades K-2 by providing two free activity booklets to schools and hosts its annual student poster design and writing
contests for grades K-12. To learn more please visit www.greenupvermont.org.
Support from cities and towns continues to be an essential part of our operating budget. It enables us to cover seventeen
percent the budget. All town residents benefit from clean roadsides! Funds help pay for supplies, including over 50,000
Green Up trash bags, promotion, education, and the services of two part-time employees. Sixth grader Blake Clark says I
think we should keep this tradition going forever and ever! Please help make sure Green Up Day never goes away.
Mark your calendar: May 6, 2017 Green Up Day, 47 years of tradition!
Join with people in your community to clean up for Green Up Day,

Always the first Saturday in May.

HOME SHARE NOW
Home Share Now works in Washington, Orange, and Lamoille counties plus some adjacent towns
through offices in Barre and Morrisville to develop successful home shares, an affordable housing option
with positive community and environmental impacts. Last year we served 669 individuals. Of these, 124
people were supported in matches last year. The remaining were served with general housing assistance.
Home Share Now facilitates exchange of services (transportation, meal preparation, pet care,
companionship) for housing at a reduced cost. While the majority of Home Share Now's participants are
seniors and/or financially insecure, we have no qualifiers or disqualifiers; therefore, every person in
Waterbury has the ability to use our services to age safely at home, to save money, to maintain
independence, to shorten a commute, to share meals, or to lessen their home energy needs. Interestingly,
more people are coming to Home Share Now to facilitate more traditional, simply to be a part of our
thorough process that ensures safety and security for all involved.
We are the only organization offering this service in central Vermont.
Home Share Now does not charge the full cost of our services in order to make home sharing accessible
to everyone. Our process requires 10 hours of staff time to complete an interview, personal references,
and background check--this process is to ensure the safety, security, and a good match. For every person
that wants to work with Home Share Now, we must raise $250 per person to simply process a single
enrollment. An appropriation will support the enrollment process and make it possible for us to continue
the work we started in Waterbury in 2003. More information can be found at www.homesharenow.org or
by calling 802-479-8544.

Mad River Resource Management Alliance
P.O. Box 210, Waterbury Center VT 05677 (802) 244-7373 / fax (802) 244-7570
The Mad River Resource Management Alliance(MRRMA) includes the Towns of Fayston,
Moretown, Roxbury, Waitsfield, Warren and Waterbury. The Alliance was formed through an
Interlocal Agreement that began in 1994. We changed our name in 2008 to reflect the fact that we are
managing resources not wastes. Roxbury joined the Alliance in 2010.
During 2016, the Alliance held two regular Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day events at the
Harwood Union High School in Duxbury on May 14, 2016 and on October 1, 2016. A total of 544
households participated in the regular events this year which represents 10.9% of our population. We
collected over 826 gallons, 31,389 pounds and 1,275 feet of fluorescent bulbs at the two events.
Residents within the Alliance communities are able to bring all their architectural paints, waste
pesticides, alkaline batteries and up to 10 additional gallons of hazardous waste to each event for
disposal at no charge. The Alliance will swap your mercury fever thermometer for a digital
thermometer at no charge at these events. Bring your mercury thermostats to the Household
Hazardous Waste Collection and you will receive a coupon that can be redeemed for a $5.00 rebate
by the Thermostat Recycling Corporation which will process the thermostats. Residents can also
bring all their compact fluorescent bulbs(CFLs) and up to ten or fewer non-CFL general purpose
mercury containing lamps. We are again planning two collection day events in 2017, at Harwood
Union High School. They are scheduled for May 13 and October 7, 2017.
A total of 275 gallons of used crankcase oil was collected within the Alliance at our Used Oil
Collection Tank during 2016. The tank is located in Waitsfield at the Earthwise Transfer Station.
Grow Compost of Vermont in Moretown collected food scraps and food processing residuals from
the Washington West Supervisory Union waste streams and from other large generators in the
MRRMA. A total of 1,435.20 tons of food scraps were collected by Grow Compost of Vermont in
2016 in the MRRMA. The Alliance textile recycling program located at the Amish Barn adjacent to
the driveway at the old Moretown Town Office on Route 2 has closed due to poor market conditions.
Visit our web site at madriverrma.org. You will find information on solid waste issues on this web
site.
The twentieth truckload sale of compost bins resulted in the distribution of 46 compost bins and 10
kitchen collectors. It is estimated that each compost bin can compost 650 pounds of garden and
kitchen waste annually. This means rich soil to add to your garden and less waste to go to the landfill.
We will hold our twenty first Compost Bin Sale this spring. The Alliance held a car and pickup truck
tire and metal collection event at the Earthwise Transfer Station in conjunction with Green Up Day in
2016. A total of 6.29 tons of tires and approximately 1 ton of metal were collected during this event.
In the fall Alliance residents participated in the Wheels for Warmth Program held on October 29,
2016. We are planning to hold a spring tire and metal collection in conjunction with Green Up Day
on May 6, 2017. In the fall, the Alliance will again coordinate with the organizers of the Wheels for
Warmth Program in Middlesex to encourage participation in this program.
86
Alliance residents can bring their mixed paper, glass bottles and jars, metal cans and plastics #1
through #7, except for plastic film wrap and bags and beaded styrofoam for single stream recycling to
the Earthwise Transfer Station, RTR Transfer Station or Northfield Transfer Station. There are also
local haulers and Saturday Fast Trash Collections available in the Mad River Resource Management
Alliance. Currently the recyclables are taken to the Chittenden County Materials Recovery Facility
for processing. Computers, printers, monitors and televisions can be recycled at no charge at the
Earthwise Transfer Station, the State Surplus Property Office on Route 2 in Waterbury or the
Northfield Transfer Station. Other e-waste can be brought to the State Surplus Property facility in
Waterbury and recycled at a small per pound fee. During 2016 56.97 tons of e-waste was collected.
Additional information on this program is found on our web site. The Alliance is a member of the
Northeast Resource Recovery Association which helps us market some recyclable commodities such
as tires, propane cylinders and other materials. The Alliance is also a member of the Product
Stewardship Institute (PSI). As a stakeholder in the PSI we work with other entities to reduce the
environmental and health impacts of a variety of consumer products. This is accomplished by looking
at the life cycle impacts of products and their packaging. Things like energy and materials
consumption, emissions during manufacturing, toxicity, worker safety and waste disposal are among
the issues reviewed. The objective of product stewardship is to rethink the way things are created in
order to have more sustainable products in the future. We are also a member of the Vermont Product
Stewardship Council which provides a local focus to stewardship issues.
Our updated Solid Waste Implementation Plan (SWIP) was approved by the Department of
Environmental Conservation to ensure compatibility with the Vermont Materials Management Plan
and the Universal Recycling Act. The SWIP is attached to our website madriverrma.org.
Backyard burning of trash is illegal and causes air pollution problems. Be a good neighbor and dont
burn trash. If you know of any illegal dumping sites within your town that would benefit from an
Adopt a Site Program give John Malter, Alliance Administrator a call at 244-7373 and lets see what
we can do to help eliminate these types of problems together. The FY 17 assessment for the
administrative and program remains at $6.00 per capita. The Central Vermont Regional Planning
Commission provides accounting assistance to the Alliance. We thank them for this help and note our
appreciation for Laurie Emery who retired this year from the CVRPC and provided invaluable
support since the inception of the MRRMA. Robert Vasseur also completed his tenure on the
MRRMA as the Fayston representative since our inception and we thank him for his efforts and
support for the Red Sox.
The representatives of the Alliance include: Fayston, Chuck Martel; Moretown, Jonathan Siegel;
Roxbury, Dave McShane; Waitsfield, Sal Spinosa; Warren, Clay Mays; Waterbury, Alec Tuscany
and John Malter from Waterbury is the Administrator for the Alliance.

PEOPLES HEALTH & WELLNESS CLINIC
The People's Health & Wellness Clinic has been providing primary health care and wellness education
to uninsured and underinsured central Vermont residents who could not otherwise afford these services
since 1994.
Our services have always included primary medical care, mental health, body work and other
complementary health, diet and nutrition, and vision care. The addition of oral health care to our
services has been extremely well received, but the demand still far outweighs our current capacity. We
have been offering on site dental hygiene for over a year. Currently, we have one full day a week and
part of a second day. The rest of that day, our oral health case manager works on referrals to a growing
number of central Vermont dentists who generously donate their services for more serious oral health
needs, including extractions, restorative work, and occasionally dentures. However, as with on site
hygiene services, there is far more demand than current capacity, and we must triage these services.
Through two generous grants we were able to purchase a portable x-ray unit for on-site use by our
hygienist, which is a huge assist when we make referrals out.
2016 was our sixth year of providing special women's services through the Ladies First program. All
female patients receive a complete breast cancer risk factor assessment, and have access to physicals,
free mammograms, other diagnostic tests, and coverage for gaps in their insurance. Even if you have
commercial insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare, these programs may still offer benefits. One example is
addressing cardio-vascular health by paying for membership in fitness programs for eligible women
(anyone whose income under 250% of the Federal Poverty Level). Call us and ask about Ladies First.
In 2016, we also continued our participation in the evidence-based prevention screening program
known as SBIRT. This stands for Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment. It's
designed to identify people at low to medium risk for alcohol and/or drug abuse and depression and
head off riskier behavior by an early intervention. All our patients receive this screening routinely. In
August, we added sn SBIRT component for Tobacco Cessation, and one of our staff became a
Certified Tobacco Treatment Specialist.
Finally, we continue to offer navigation services for people needing to sign up for health insurance
through Vermont Health Connect. We have certified staff that is experienced in helping people
understand their options and choose a plan that fits their specific needs and budgets. We have worked
with the program since its inception in 2013, and are well-versed in dealing with system and the
technical challenges that have presented over time. The public should know that five out of six
applications go through just fine, and we can help with the ones are problematic. We dont know what
the future will bring regarding the Affordable Care Act or Vermont Health Connect, our state exchange,
but we will continue to assist people in navigating the system as long as we can.
In Calendar Year 2016, the People's Health & Wellness Clinic served 543 unduplicated individuals,
requiring 2289 patient interactions. 271 of these patients were new to the Clinic. All of these numbers
are significant increases over 2015. We had 826 patient visits, 862 medical consults, 691 diagnostic
tests, 93 dental hygiene visits and 51 referrals to dentists for treatment. We provided 210
pharmaceutical samples, immunizations, and vouchers, and wrote hundreds more prescriptions. Our
services include screening all patients for eligibility in a variety of health insurance and assistance
programs. We also helped many of the 543 patients navigate the application process for a variety of
programs including Medicaid, Ladies First, Medicare, Healthy Vermonters, Affordable Meds, and
92
Central Vermont Medical Center UVM Health Network and other hospitals' patient financial
assistance programs. Through all these efforts, we were able to successfully enroll them 251 times,
many in more than one program.
12 separate Waterbury residents sought our services in 2016, 5 of whom were new to the Clinic. They
required 35 separate patient interactions. They came for 8 full medical visits and 4 mental health
visits. We provided 14 case management interactions, 5 medical consults, performed or arranged for
10 diagnostic tests (labs, x-rays, etc.) and provided immunizations and pharmaceutical samples or
vouchers 5 times. We had 2 dental visits, resulting in 2 cleanings (prophylaxis), 2 x-rays, and 1
referral out to a participating dentist. Our navigation services helped 5 individuals apply for health
insurance and assistance programs , successfully enrolling 4 times.
Volunteer practitioners are the heart of our service model. In 2016, over 75 volunteers gave over
$77,700 worth of their time serving our patients. Over $78,400 worth of pharmaceuticals and medical
supplies and other services were donated for our patients. We paid $5,357 for diagnostic testing, and
got another $6,300.21 of tests donated.
We define our primary service area as all of Washington County, plus the Orange County towns of
Orange, Washington, and Williamstown, but we do not restrict geographic access, and ended up serving
people from 45 Vermont towns. To have been eligible for our services in 2016, one must not have
health insurance (including Medicaid or Medicare), or have a health insurance deductible that is greater
than 7.5% of household income, or need services offered by PHWC that are not covered by insurance,
and have a household income of less than 400% of the Federal Poverty Level. 86% of our patients had
incomes of 185% of the FPL or less.
We are a free clinic, and depend on grants and donations, including from our patients. For more
information on our services, to make a donation, or to volunteer, please visit our website at phwcvt.org.
Patients are seen by appointment only call 802-479-1229, Monday through Thursday.
We are grateful to the voters of Waterbury for many years of support for the Clinic, and are very
pleased to be able to provide these services to the community. Thank you.

2016 REPORT TO THE RESIDENTS OF
THE RESIDENTS OF WATERBURY
Prevent Child Abuse Vermont (PCAVT) was founded in 1976 and is today a statewide Vermont
not for profit organization working to improve the welfare of children and families.
All PCAVT programs are free to residents of the State of Vermont and are designed to both
prevent abuse and encourage intervention at the first opportunity when the risk of abuse is
identified.
Our staff of 14 directly worked with almost 14,000 Vermont people in 2016, and impacted over
50,000 through our 8 prevention programs. Our direct work and collaboration with child-serving
professionals in education, healthcare and childcare made these impacts possible. PCAVT
employees also serve on many national, state-wide and community Prevention boards and
councils advising and advocating for the strengthening of families and the protection of children.
In 2016, 62 residents of Waterbury utilized 4 of our programs including our Parents Helpline and
Vermont Parents Home Companion parent resource directory.
1 adult and 1 child participated in our parenting education programs which are a
parenting skills building, teaching empathy and child development curriculum or
joined a parenting support group which reinforces positive parenting and quickly
reduces the likelihood of child abuse.
1 educator attended a training to learn about our Healthy Relationships Project

school based prevention program in preparation for using the program in their
school.
Approximately 54 parents of new babies born to Waterbury residents received a

copy of our parenting resource guide the Vermont Parents Home Companion, and
received training and knowledge on Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) prevention
through the PCAVT trained nursing staff at Central Vermont Medical Center and
UVM Medical Center.
5 Waterbury residents called our 1-800-CHILDREN (1-800-244-5373) parents

helpline seeking guidance to help a child or family, asking help in making a report
of suspected child abuse, or to ask for help in finding resources.
94
Our programs increase adult awareness and knowledge, deliver developmentally targeted
instruction for children, are trauma-informed, and include victim and victimization prevention.
Several PCAVT programs help youth identify those factors that put them at risk for being hurt
and for hurting others, as well as developing protective factors and enhancing resilience.
We greatly appreciate the support we received from the residents of the Waterbury this past year.
It is through the combined financial resources of Waterbury and other communities, United
Ways, businesses and individuals, the State of Vermont, and private foundations that it becomes
possible to help so many each year!
For more information about our programs and events please visit www.PCAVT.ORG, or in
Vermont call 1-800-CHILDREN (800-244-5373).

RSVP Volunteers are essential to our community - from delivering Meals on
Wheels and staffing at the AARP Tax Aid, to Bone Builders and Tai Chi exercise
program. Volunteers of all ages are crucial to helping meet our communitys
needs. Without RSVP volunteers, many of our non-profit organizations would find
it difficult to maintain the services needed by our friends and neighbors.
The money requested from Waterbury is used to help offset the cost of
supporting volunteers. These costs are: office space, travel, insurance, training,
recognition and coordination time.
What does RSVP mean? The acronym stands for the Retired & Senior
Volunteer Program, whose mission is to engage volunteers 55 and better in service.
This however poses a problem because as soon as someone younger hears the
meaning of the acronym they think they are ineligible to serve, this is not true. Our
communities nonprofits need people of all ages.
RSVP simply means an agency dedicated to volunteers of all ages and to the
nonprofit organizations and businesses in our communities. RSVP also means the
Bone Builders program, designed to prevent and slow the onset of osteoporosis in
older citizens. RSVP means having volunteers providing transportation, helping at the
Food Shares, hospitals, nursing homes, adult education, transportation programs, and
food banks.
For more information, or to volunteer here in your community, please contact
Robert Pierce at 802-241-4840 email at rpierce@cvcoa.org or stop into our Office
located at 46 South Main St Waterbury.
RSVP Volunteer Center is an invitation to serve. Sponsored by the Central
Vermont Council on Aging, it is a national program designed to provide
opportunities for persons of any age who continue to remain actively involved in the
life of their community. The aim is to develop specific volunteer opportunities that
utilize the particular skills and interests of each individual volunteer, at the same
time keeping an eye to what needs to get done in the community. Offices are located
in Morrisville, Barre, and Waterbury or visit www.cvcoa.org/rsvp to learn of other
opportunities in your community.

Annual Report to Municipalities
The Sexual Assault Crisis Team (SACT) is a private, non-profit organization that offers free of charge advocacy for male,
female, and transgender victims of sexual violence. This advocacy includes emotional support both one on one and groups,
24/7 emergency hotline, legal support, medical and hospital support, emergency overnight shelter support and shelter use for
victims/survivors, their non-offending family members during the legal process including court, depositions, rape exam
recovery, time before or after individual counseling sessions through private therapist, other times when victims/survivors
need a private space or bed for an hour or a day. SACT also provides education around all sexual violence issues for
Washington County Schools K-12 and colleges, service groups and other public organizations.
SACT is continuing to face additional demands on resources as it attempts to provide the services needed for male and
female shelter residents who are leaving behind their homes, belongings and financial resources for medical, food and restart
up costs. Victims and survivors not only look to SACT to provide food, emergency dental and or medical assistance, but
also looks to SACT for transportation funds and relocation funds including rent deposits etc. SACT has found its shelter
staff may also be required to provide both technical and support assistance to people as they apply for RFAs, fill out
victims compensation forms, assist in communicating with other service providers, apply for disability and entitlement
benefits, and ensure all required notifications have been submitted to continue receiving these essential services. SACT
continues to work collaboratively with other Washington County and State agencies to provide comprehensive services to
those seeking assistance. SACT continues to work closely with Norwich University and the Vermont National Guard Sexual
Violence Response Coordinator to ensure returning soldiers, and their family members, who are struggling with sexual
violence issues, are offered services to help in their transition to civilian life.
SACT operates using both paid staff and volunteers. During 2015-2016 SACT had 3 full-time advocates, 6 part-time stipend
paid hotline staff, and many volunteers. Volunteers and part-time hotline staff are all from local Washington County
communities. These dedicated advocates received twenty hours of intense training so they would be able to provide
confidential advocacy to victims by responding to hotline calls. During 2015-2016 SACT received calls for services from
238 individuals. These calls included: crisis calls following sexual assaults, requests for emotional support, hospital
advocacy, criminal justice advocacy, information and referral, and requests for education and training. These calls for
services were answered by both paid staff and volunteers.
SACT provided shelter for male, female, and transgender survivors of sexual violence. As with all the services provided by
SACT, shelter services are offered to both non-offending survivors and their non-offending family members. SACT
continues to provide shelter services for male and transgender victims of domestic/sexual violence, which in the past has
included returning military personnel. SACT has extended shelter services to special needs victims, primarily those needing
a fully accessible facility and which would also allow a non-offending care provider to stay in shelter with the
victim/survivor. During the 2015-2016 fiscal year, SACT provided shelter for 31 people for a total of 930 bed nights.
SACT remains dedicated to providing services to all victims/survivors of sexual violence and remains committed to
identifying new needs and then meeting that challenge.
Please do not hesitate to contact SACT for additional information or to make a request for services.

VERMONT ASSOCIATION FOR THE BLIND AND VISUALLY IMPAIRED
HELPING ACHIEVE INDEPENDENCE IN A VISUAL WORLD SINCE 1926
Vermont Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired

Report of Services for the Town of Waterbury
More than 10,500 Vermont residents are blind or visually impaired. Since our state has an aging
population, many of them are experiencing age-related vision loss. Visual impairments can make
performing daily tasks, staying mobile, and enjoying leisure activities very difficult.
Additionally, Vermonts rural nature makes it less likely for those with visual impairments to
encounter those facing similar challenges, thus creating feelings of isolation and depression. We
counter this trend by providing the tools, services, and support necessary to help blind and
visually impaired Vermonters to be independent, confident, and productive.
During Fiscal Year 2016 VABVI served 1,578 clients from all 14 counties in Vermont, including
111 adult clients and 19 students from Washington County.
Since 1926 our nonprofit organization has diligently pursued our mission of enabling
Vermonters with vision problems, whether blindness or impairment, to achieve and maintain
independence. We are the only private agency in Vermont to offer a complete range of services
to visually impaired residents and at no cost to the client.
Services include Rehabilitation (adapting daily living tasks to allow those with low vision to live
independently); Orientation and Mobility (providing white cane and guide dog instruction,
allowing individuals to navigate through their home and community independently); Assistive
Technology (adaptive aids allow clients to successfully perform most activities they desire);
Social Networking (improving social skills and providing a support network); and Statewide
Transportation (volunteer drivers provide rides to medical appointments, grocery stores and for
personal visits).
VABVI has offices in Berlin, Brattleboro, Rutland, and South Burlington. Contact us at
(800) 639-5861 or general@vabvi.org. Learn more about us at www.vabvi.org or like us at

THE VERMONT CENTER FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING
TOWN OF WATERBURY
SUMMARY REPORT
Request Amount: $600.00
Since 1979, The Vermont Center for Independent Living (VCIL) has been teaching people with
disabilities and the Deaf how to gain more control over their lives and how to access tools and services to
live more independently. VCIL employees (85% of whom have a disability) conduct public education,
outreach, individual advocacy and systems change advocacy to help promote the full inclusion of people
with disabilities into community life.
In FY16 (10/2015-9/2016) VCIL responded to over 2,711 requests from individuals, agencies and
community groups for information, referral and assistance and program services for individuals living
with a disability. VCIL Peer Advocate Counselors (PACs) provided one-on-one peer counseling to 360
individuals to help increase their independent living skills and 24 peers were served by the AgrAbility
program. VCILs Home Access Program (HAP) assisted 196 households with information on technical
assistance and/or alternative funding for modifications; 95 of these received financial assistance to make
their bathrooms and/or entrances accessible. Our Sue Williams Freedom Fund (SWFF) provided 92
individuals with information on assistive technology; 35 of these individuals received funding to obtain
adaptive equipment. 559 individuals had meals delivered through our Meals on Wheels (MOW) program
for individuals with disabilities under the age of 60. VCIL is also now home to the Vermont
Telecommunications Equipment Distribution Program (VTEDP) which served 35 people and provided 23
peers with adaptive telecommunications enabling low-income Deaf, Deaf-blind, hard of hearing and
individuals with disabilities to communicate by telephone.
VCILs central office is located in downtown Montpelier and we have five branch offices in Bennington,
Chittenden, Lamoille, Rutland and Windham Counties. Our Peer Advocate Counselors and services are
available to people with disabilities throughout Vermont. Also new this year, our Windham county office
now houses the Vermont Interpreter Referral Service (VIRS) (previously under the VT Center for the
Deaf and Hard of Hearing) and provides statewide interpreter referral services for sign language, spoken
English and CART services for assignments in medical, legal, mental health, employment, educational,
civil and recreational settings.
During FY 16, 9 residents of Waterbury received services from the following programs:
Meals on Wheels (MOW)

($2,450.00 spent on meals for residents)
Peer Advocacy Counseling Program (PAC)
Information Referral and Assistance (I,R&A)

LEGISLATIVE REPORT
2017 A Year of Change

Change is in order as we start the beginning of the 2017-2018 biennium. We have a new
Governor and Lieutenant Governor, new leadership in the House and in the Senate, as
well as many new faces in leadership around state government. There are also many
newly elected representatives and new senators. Yet, even as these new individuals settle
into their roles, the business of running state government continues without interruption,
one of the hallmarks of a peaceful transition of power.
As we look to the agenda over the next two years, the legislature will likely take up a
number of issues that remain unresolved or need further work from the previous session
including potential legalization of recreational marijuana, continued work on education
reform, health care access and affordability, workers compensation, housing, child care,
renewable energy and environmental issues, just to name a few.
There are, as usual, considerable budget pressures. One such pressure is the need to
allocate increased resources to water quality, particularly for the clean-up of Lake
Champlain. It is estimated that this pressure alone may cost $67 million/year, to be split
between the federal, state and local governments for the next 20 years. Vermont is under
federal obligation to the Environmental Protection Agency to reduce the level of
phosphorus in the lake. State Treasurer Beth Pearce has indicated that the fiscal
stewardship over the past several years has allowed there to be a head start on funding
this mandate on the state level, which will relieve some pressure on the budget this year.
However, the federal government has also indicated that it will discontinue federal
funding of the Vermont State Psychiatric Hospital and Woodside Juvenile
Treatment/Detention Center within the next 5 years. This is another potential cost of $35
- $45 million/year in state funds for which a solution must be found.
Though we will work on all of these issues, our primary responsibilities lie with our
committee assignments. Representative Stevens retained his Vice-Chair role with the
General, Housing and Military Affairs Committee and Representative Wood was
assigned to Human Services, where she was selected as Clerk.
2016 Year in Review
Balanced Budget: Throughout the election campaign there were a lot of numbers thrown
around concerning the budget the budget passed last session contained a 2.4% increase
in spending and for the first time in a number of years DID NOT rely on any temporary,
or as they are referred to, one-time dollars, to balance the budget. There is also a great
deal of discussion about big budget deficits. The legislature does not pass a deficit
budget. When people refer to a deficit they are actually referring to the gap in
demand for services and the available revenue to support that demand for the next
budget.
104
Ban the Box: The legislature passed a bill that prohibits questions on employment
applications concerning a persons criminal record. This is to enable the individual to
present themselves before a prospective employer before being automatically declined for
a job. For employers, it does not prohibit you from asking questions during an interview
about a persons background, nor does it prohibit you from doing a background check.
Paid Sick Days: Prior to passage of the earned leave bill, 60,000 working Vermonters
did not have access to any paid leave due to illness. The legislature passed a healthy
workforce bill, creating a minimum standard for paid sick days. Starting on January 1,
2017, an employee can start earning up to three days off after one year of full-time
employment. An employer may allow the employee to use this time at any point, but no
later than January 1, 2018. In other words, the benefit does not carry over from year to
year.
Community Justice: Decreasing the number of detainees (people charged with an

offense, prior to trial) in correctional facilities results in better utilization of the States
costly correctional resources. The legislature voted to expand a previous pilot to provide
community-based electronic monitoring. It provides the courts with another option that
provides real time monitoring 24/7 without the use of a correctional facility, while
providing victims with more security and peace of mind. It is important to note that our
prison population is at its lowest point since the early 1990s.
Building Communities Grants: Communities, schools, and nonprofit organizations have

the ability to apply for $1.6 million in funding approved by the legislature for building
communities grants. These funds are awarded to preserve historic barns, improve
recreational and cultural facilities, address human services and educational facilities;
provide economic development grant funds and historic preservation grants. New this
year is an E911 grant program to provide funds to local schools to address connecting to
emergency locations within schools.
Items of Local Interest:

In Bolton we worked with the administration and legislative leaders to lessen the
impact of formula changes in the Agency of Natural Resources portion of the PILOT
(payment in lieu of taxes) program for state-owned property. In Huntington and
Waterbury, the formula changes were positive, yielding higher payments.
Implementation of Act 46 was unique in each of our districts communities. In
Bolton, early consolidation into the modified union school district has provided tax
and education opportunity benefits; in Waterbury the consolidation report submitted
by Washington West Supervisory Union was accepted and ratified by the voters and
now the work of implementation is occurring. And in Huntington, voters have
expressed their desire for the school district to remain independent. However, there is
concern about the requirements that the Board of Education has provided for schools
wishing to take advantage of alternative governance structures. Bills seeking to make
some revisions to Act 46 have already been introduced.
In Waterbury the major transportation projects continue. The rehabilitation and
reconstruction of the Exit 10 bridges is nearly complete and as we look to 2017 and
105
2018, the Route 100 rehabilitation between Waterbury and Stowe will get underway
and Waterburys version of the big dig for Main Street reconstruction will move
from planning and approval to implementation.
Space limits the amount of information that can be included in the Town Report,
however, we are both available to discuss these and any other topics of interest to you
from our work last year or during the current session.

Vermont League of Cities and Towns 2016 Overview
Serving and Strengthening Vermont Local Government
The Vermont League of Cities and Towns (VLCT) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, owned by its
member municipalities and directed by a 13-member Board of Directors comprising municipal officials
from across the state, elected by the membership.
VLCTs mission is to serve and strengthen Vermont local government. All 246 Vermont cities and towns
are members of VLCT, along with 138 other municipal entities, including villages, solid waste districts,
regional planning commissions and fire districts.
Vermonters use local government services on a daily basis highways, police, fire, recreation, libraries,
sewer, and water. These local efforts are led largely by volunteer elected and appointed municipal
officials.
VLCT provides the following services to its member cities and towns, to assist them in providing their
citizens with quality services at affordable costs:
Legal, consulting, and education services. VLCTs Municipal Assistance Center (MAC) provides
training, information and assistance to municipal officials to help them carry out their legal
responsibilities. Responding to member inquiries about Vermont law and best practices in municipal
governance is a key MAC service. Attorneys and staff answer 4,000 member questions each year. In
2016, nearly 1,500 people received training at 30 day-long and on-site workshops covering topics that
included Open Meeting Law compliance, financial management, and conducting effective property
tax appeal and land use hearings. Consulting services include legal drafting and review of policies
and ordinances, governmental accounting, and town manager recruitment. Members who respond to
MACs annual compensation and benefits survey receive a complimentary copy of the research
report. MAC also offers in-depth technical assistance through our Water Resources Protection and
Human Resources assistance programs. Publications including model documents, technical papers,
handbooks, and past newsletter articles are available on VLCTs website.
Advocacy representation at the state and federal levels to ensure that municipalities have the
resources and authority needed to serve their citizens. VLCT is a leader in the renewable energy
debate, enhancing voter authority in local governance decisions, municipal efforts to clean up
Vermonts lakes and rivers, and securing revenues for town highway and bridge maintenance
programs. Municipalities will face significant challenges in the 2017 legislature as limited financial
resources at the national and state level continue to force more demand for services at the local level.
VLCT also provides a Weekly Legislative Report that details legislative issues affecting municipal
government. It is available free-of-charge on the VLCT website.
Opportunities to provide purchasing of needed services at the lowest cost. Members may
purchase municipal unemployment, property, casualty, and workers compensation insurance
coverage for local operations. The VLCT Employment Resource and Benefits (VERB) Trust
continued to help towns navigate the complexities of health insurance procurement and to secure
group life, disability, dental and vision insurance. When substantial municipal damages result from
weather events, or towns suffer from other covered losses and lawsuits, the value of membership in
the VLCT Property and Casualty Intermunicipal Fund (PACIF) is quite clear, as members
benefit from the broad coverage, excellent re-insurance, and prompt service and claims payments
provided. The Trusts are stewards of $26 million in municipal tax dollars spent for insurance and risk
management services in 2016. More than $1 million in ownership dividends was returned to PACIF
and VERB members as contribution credits.

Washington County Diversion Program
November 16, 2016
Town of Waterbury
Waterbury, VT 05676
Dear Select Board:
This is a request on behalf of the Washington County Diversion Program, for Waterbury to support our work with a
stipend of $300.00. These funds will help us provide our programs and services to the all the citizens of Washington
County, including Waterbury residents.
Who We Are and What We Do:

The Washington County Diversion Program (WCDP) is a local non-profit program that addresses unlawful behavior,
supports victims of crime and promotes a healthy community. The mission of Vermonts Court Diversion Programs is to
engage community members in responding to the needs of crime victims, the community, and those who violated the
law, holding the latter accountable in a manner that promotes responsible behavior.
WCDP is a voluntary, confidential restorative justice process for certain juvenile and adult offenders over age 10.
We follow a balanced and restorative justice model by putting right the wrongs that have been done and
addressing the needs of all stakeholders, including the victim, the community and the offender. Participation is
voluntary; but requires individuals to accept responsibility for their unlawful action(s).
Court Diversion is the community alternative to court for low level offenders in Washington County.
Our volunteer Review Panel hears both adult and juvenile cases referred.
Our philosophy is that ordinary citizens who volunteer their time and energy are more effective in addressing those who
have committed crimes than our court system can be, especially for low-level offenders charged with an illegal act.
Our Guiding Principles:

Ensure that the participant acknowledges responsibility for violating the law.
Focus on the harm experienced by the victim, the participant and the community.
Show respect and empathy for all parties.
Ensure opportunities for victims to have a voice.
Provide opportunities for the participant to repair the harm and to learn how to address the underlying causes
for the violation, empowering him/her to make more positive life choices.
Actively involve the community in the response to the harm experienced by all parties.
Develop contract obligations that relate to repairing the harm, are achievable, and, where appropriate, address
the underlying causes for the behavior.
Ensure by the end of the process, that the participant has had the opportunity to develop an understanding of
how their actions affected others.
WCDP runs four separate programs: Court Diversion, the Youth Substance Abuse Safety Program, the Balanced and
Restorative Justice Program, and the Driving with License Suspended Program.

Court Diversion
Diversion is a restorative program for individuals charged with a crime or delinquency. After the police issue a citation
for violating the law, the States Attorney decides whether to refer the person out of the court system to the
community-based Court Diversion program. Participants must take responsibility for their actions and develop a
contract with Review Panel volunteers through which they repair the harm caused. After successful completion, the
States Attorney dismisses the charges.
During Fiscal Year 2016, WCDPs Diversion Program worked with:
362 diversion participants (15 or 4% were Waterbury residents)
82% of participants who completed the program during Fiscal Year 2016 did so successfully
Youth Substance Abuse Safety Program

Since 2000 Vermont Court Diversion has run a program to address civil violations of underage possession of alcohol. In
2013 the program was expanded to include civil violations of Vermonts under 21 years of age possession of marijuana
law. Youth who violate these laws are given the option of participating in the Youth Substance Abuse Safety Program.
Participants in the program are required, by law, to have an alcohol and drug screening and are then given other
educational, remedial, reflective and financial conditions to complete. If the participant completes the conditions the
ticket is voided. Participants who fail to complete or refuse to participate in the program face a civil ticket which includes
a $300 fine and a 30-day drivers license suspension for the first offence and a fine of not more than $600 and 90-day
license suspension for second and subsequent offenses.
During Fiscal Year 2016, WCDPs YSASP Program worked with:
224 youth (16 or 7% were Waterbury residents)
97% of participants who completed the program during Fiscal Year 2016 did so successfully
Balanced and Restorative Justice Program (BARJ)

These services are provided to youth who are charged with a delinquency, have been adjudicated delinquent or are at-
risk for involvement in the juvenile justice system. BARJ services vary depending on each individual youth, but consist of
restorative interventions that reduce and eliminate further involvement in the juvenile justice system such as:
restorative panels, restitution services, risk screening, and restorative classes and skills development. This program is
funded through a grant from the Department for Children and Families.
Driving with License Suspended

The Civil DLS Diversion Program began in May 2013. The program serves Vermont drivers whose license remains
suspended because of unpaid fines and fees. Upon approval of the Judicial Bureau, a participants license will be
reinstated while the individual follows a payment plan and completes community service and/or an educational
program. This program is an unfunded mandate from the state.
During Fiscal Year 2016, WCDPs DLS program worked with:
102 individuals who were seeking to get their privilege to drive reinstated
50 participants had their licenses reinstated through the program
10 other individuals were referred to a fine re-payment program run by the Vermont Judicial Bureau that
also leads to license reinstatement
4 or 4% of the DLS participants were Waterbury residents
Is Diversion Effective?
Yes! Over 80% of the individuals referred to Court Diversion complete successfully. The majority who complete the
Diversion Program do not re-offend. In Washington County, the recidivism rate for folks who have been through
Diversion is 11% (89% do not reoffend). Diversion collects more than 95% of the restitution due to victims. And,
Diversion is cost effective to tax payers because it takes less time and less money to process a case than through the
court system.
109
Due to a heavy caseload, the financial and volunteer support of our local communities is critical to our success. Thank
you for providing the support of our work that you have in the past, and for taking the time to consider this request.
We would welcome any Waterbury residents whod like to join our volunteer ranks! Please contact us if you are
interested in volunteering on our Community Restorative Panel.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at the Diversion office at 802-479-1900.
Sincerely,
Catherine Kalkstein
Executive Director

The Washington County Youth Service Bureau/Boys & Girls Club
Is An Important Resource To The Residents Of Waterbury
In the past year, the Bureau provided the following services to 15 individuals in Waterbury:
4 Teens and their Families were assisted by the Country Roads Program that serves runaway and
homeless young people, as well as young people and families who are confronting communication
problems, youth behavioral problems, grief and loss, depression and anxiety, parental custody issues, stress
within blended families, and other issues that contribute to stress in the home. The program provides crisis
intervention, short-term counseling, and temporary, emergency shelter for youth who have runaway, are
homeless, or are in crisis.
1 Teen participated in the Basement Teen Center. The Basement offers regular, supervised drop-in time,
a variety of positive activities, and opportunities for youth leadership that support positive skill development
between the hours of 2pm and 6pm, when teens are at greatest risk to engage in harmful behaviors.
5 Teens were provided with substance abuse treatment through the Healthy Youth Program. This service
includes substance abuse education; drug and alcohol screening and assessment, treatment and positive life
skills coaching; early intervention strategies to help young people and families keep substance abuse
problems from escalating; coordination of services to ensure that young people receive quality care and
support from the many people, organizations, and systems that are active in their lives; and support for
families.
1 Youth was served through the Youth Development Program, providing voluntary case management
services to youth ages 15-22, who are, or have been, in the custody of the State through the Department for
Children and Families. YDP provides life skills assessment, training and coaching, referrals to other services
including mental health and substance abuse counseling, access to health insurance and physical health
care, education planning and linkage to educational services and supports for high school completion/GED
prep and or college preparation, vocational support and training, assistance in exploring and connecting
with kinship networks and other social supports, and safe housing options.
2 Teens participated in the Transitional Living Program (TLP) that helps homeless youth ages 16-21 make
the transition to independent living. This program teaches life skills and budgeting; assists with employment
and education goals; and provides direct rent assistance. 1 Youth was also provided with teen parent
services.
2 Community Members were provided with a home delivered meal through the 43rd Annual Free
Community Thanksgiving Dinner organized by the Bureau. The Dinner is resourced entirely from community
donations of food, cash, and extensive volunteers.
While the above identifies the specific services delivered to residents in FY 16, the types of Bureau services
accessed by Waterbury residents vary from year to year. Waterbury residents are eligible to participate in any of
our community based programs as outlined on our website: www.wcysb.org. This years funding request
represents only a small fraction of the cost of the services provided by the Bureau. Most services provided have
involved multiple sessions, counseling services were provided by certified or licensed counselors, and
emergency temporary shelter included 24-hour supervision, meals, and transportation. No one is turned away
for inability to pay.

WATERBURY AMBULANCE SERVICE, INCORPORATED
WATERBURY BACKCOUNTRY RESCUE TEAM
Waterbury Ambulance Service, Incorporated WASI, is a volunteer, not-for-profit, 501 (c) (3)
organization that provides pre-hospital emergency medical care and transport for the towns of
Waterbury, Duxbury, and parts of Moretown and Bolton. WASI also provides mutual aid to
Stowe Rescue, Mad River Valley Ambulance, and Richmond Rescue. As a private not-for-profit
organization, WASI is self-funded and does not receive any taxpayer funding.
WASI provides 365/24/7 coverage with a scheduled duty crew on every 12-hour shift. WASI
has two paid employees due to a continuing shortage of weekday volunteers and is always
looking for volunteer Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and drivers.
2016 was our 45th Anniversary Year. In 2016, WASI responded to 698 calls (a new record),
averaging almost 60 calls per month. During 2016 the Waterbury Backcountry Rescue Team
(WBRT) responded to 19 calls for search or rescue in the back country. WBRT is a part of
Waterbury Ambulance Service, Inc. and is responsible to both searches and rescues in the
outlying terrain and mountains surrounding Waterbury. The team exists so that on-duty EMTs
with the ambulance and Firefighters with the fire department can remain in service to respond to
other emergencies.
WBRT was formed in April of 2001 by Waterbury Ambulance after a series of rescues on
Camels Hump took Waterbury fire fighters out of service for several long nights. The
ambulance squad felt it was important to support the Fire Department by taking on the
responsibility of rescues in the back country.
WBRT is funded solely by (non-profit) Waterbury Ambulance and donations. WBRT routinely
works through the Mutual Aid system with the Search & Rescue teams from our surrounding
communities. The team is responsible to for Search & Rescue operations in the general
Waterbury area.
Since being founded, and as of December 31, 2016, WBRT has performed 168 missions such
that the fire department was able to keep its entire staff out of the woods and ready for other
emergencies. The fire department provides storage space in the Maple Street Station for the
WBRT truck, rescue gear, ATVs, snowmobile and snowbulance.
Most rescues involve hikers who failed to take the most basic of precautions and became lost
and/or trapped by darkness. WBRT recommends all hikers have maps, headlamps, matches,
plenty of proper clothing and extra food and fluids. Most rescues take several hours and hikers
need to be self-sufficient until rescuers are able to locate them in the woods and on the
mountains a process that routinely takes several hours. Hikers should never consider their cell
phone as a safety device when hiking.
2016 again proved to be a busy year for WBRTs 18 members. The team performed 5 searches
for missing persons and 13 rescues of the sick and injured. Winter rescues accounted for 4 cases,
summer for 6, 2 for spring and fall for 6 cases. Of the winter cases, one came in on Christmas
Eve and one on Christmas Night.
113
The team is indebted to the entire Dave and Heidi Cutler family who all consistently respond. In
some cases the Cutlers have formed the majority of the responders regardless of weather, time of
day and family events.

WATERBURY AREA SENIOR CITIZENS ASSOCIATION
14 Stowe St.
Waterbury, Vt. 05676
802.244.1234
Annual Report for Waterbury 2016

The Waterbury Area Senior Citizens Association would like to thank the community of Waterbury for
their support. We would like to ask for continued support and greatly appreciate the funding we have received
from the town in the past. Historically the town of Waterbury has given us $30,000 towards expenses,
$20,000 of that being a special article and we would like to ask for the same amount as continued support.
With this money we will be able to continue to provide Meals on Wheels and weekday meals at our center, as
well as activities that maintain the independence and health of our members.
The Waterbury Area Senior Citizens Association purpose is to enrich the lives of older persons by
providing services and activities that sharpen the minds and improve the physical and emotional health of its
members and help keep them active and involved in the life of the community. The Center offers weekday
Meals on Wheels and Congregate meals. Also low impact exercise classes, bingo, Wii games, Mexican train
dominoes, cribbage, book discussions, and computer classes. Monthly foot care clinics, yearly AARP safe
driving classes and AARP tax return assistance. We also lend out many medical devices from walkers, lift
chairs, hospital beds, stair lifts, commodes and other items to help keep members of the community living
comfortably in their own home. In addition to these activities, we have decorated cookies and made
chocolates at Christmastime; catered different private events and parties, as well as catered funerals and
memorial services. We also hold many different fundraising meals to raise awareness and the support the
center; Lunch at Town Meeting, Mothers Day Brunch, Fall Harvest Dinner and dinner and sale during the
Holiday Stroll.
The Center is currently providing a great service to the current residents from the Towns of Waterbury,
Duxbury, Moretown, Middlesex, and Bolton. Our biggest expense of WASCA is providing 80 hot weekday
and home delivered meals. Meals on Wheels are delivered by volunteer drivers to our homebound seniors.
More than 95 % of our clients are disabled or live in low to moderate income households in the communities
we serve. The government reimburses us only $3.50 per meal. Currently, we are on target to serve over
20,100 meals for our fiscal year that ends September 2016, but the need outweighs the funds. We are seeing
more of a need, by the year 2030 one in four Vermonters will be over the age of 65.
We are prohibited by federal regulations from charging for our meals and only suggest that seniors
contribute $4.50 per meal if they can afford it. Currently our average meal contribution is well below this
amount at $1.25 per meal, but we will not discourage seniors from enjoying a hot meal even if they cannot
pay. Investing in Meals on Wheels keeps community members in their own home and out of nursing homes
and hospitals. A one day stay in the hospital in Vermont = $1656; compared to 1 year of meals on wheels
delivered = $1,040 for 1 person.
The generosity of our senior members and the community support is wonderful. We hope that the
citizens of Waterbury, Duxbury, Moretown, and Middlesex will continue their high level of support for the
Waterbury Area Senior Citizens Association. The center has looked at many ways to reduce our overhead.
We use reusable meals on wheels trays that can be used between 4 and 7 years. This helps with having to
purchase less Styrofoam and paper products. We also freeze fresh produce to use during the long winter
months when fresh food prices are extremely high.
The Waterbury Area Senior Citizens Association has served this town well, and the town and the
residents have supported us generously. If you have never been to the center we encourage you to come see
what we are all about. Thank you for your continued support.

From: Waterbury Community Band

Re: Appropriations Request for 2017

The Waterbury Community Band requests an appropriation of $800 from the Town of
Waterbury, the same amount as awarded in 2016, to help support its 2017 concert season.
A summary of our 2016 community events and a financial report follow.

Operations Report

The Waterbury Community Band is a non-profit community service organization
registered with the Vermont Secretary of State and the IRS. The WCB rehearses and
performs from April through early December and provides playing opportunities for
approximately 40 musicians of all ages hailing from Waterbury and the surrounding towns.

Our community service concerts include Waterburys July 4th parade, a series of six
Tuesday evening summer concerts performed on the town greens of Waterbury and
Waterbury Center, a short concert at the Waterbury Town Meeting, as well as two benefit
concerts for the Waterbury Good Neighbor fund, held at the Waterbury Congregational
Church. In addition, the band performed at the Waterbury Tree Committees tree planting
ceremony on the Waterbury Center Green in October. The WCB also performs free
concerts at area hospitals/nursing homes to bring music to those unable to attend public
events. We also take on paying engagements, parades and concerts in area towns, to
support our operations.

A volunteer board of directors and band members provide take care of all logistical and
concert support. In November 2015, the band appointed a new musical director, Nick
Allen, a local music teacher, who receives a small stipend for his many hours of service to
the band over the 9 month concert season.

Financial Report

The bands major expenses include the conductors stipend, music purchases, and
instruments, and our single largest source of income is the Waterbury town appropriation.
Because in 2015 our interim director declined his stipend, the band was able to make its
first major music purchase in over five years. A full report of our 2016 income and
expenses, and a proposed budget for 2017 follows.

Waterbury Historical Society Annual Report for 2016
The completion of Waterburys new History Center was a dream come true! We are most
grateful to all who contributed to the restoration of the beloved Janes building. It was wonderful
to be able to greet members of our community at the Grand Opening Celebration where many of
our local restaurants generously provided delicious refreshments. There was excitement and
pride from participants who visited our new History Center where Jack Carter, our Curator had
beautifully displayed many of Waterburys artifacts. If you have not taken the opportunity to
visit, you are encouraged to come by during weekday Municipal Office hours. Its likely that
you will encounter our Archivist, Linda Kaiser in her office, along with other dedicated
volunteers who continue to inventory and catalog our Towns collection and enter the data into a
PastPerfect Program. The History Center now has a security camera system in place, to provide
protection for our valuable collection.
The Societys Program Committee offers interesting programs four times a year, which are open
to the public, and often held in the new Steele Community Room. In addition, we participate in
the Vermont Historical Societys History Expo. Jan Gendreau organizes the very popular annual
Ghost Walk on Memorial Day. In April, the Waterbury Historical Society was chosen by Ben &
Jerrys to be the local nonprofit featured at the Free Cone Day event. We were honored.
The Societys Outreach Education Committee connects with our local schools, oversees oral
history videotaped interviews and provides a local history trivia activity thats found on Front
Porch Forum twice a month. The answers to the community related trivia questions are found on
the always current waterburyhistoricalsociety.org web-site and/or on our Facebook page. Paper
copies of the questions and answers can be located at a number of area businesses.
Members of the Waterbury Historical Society are tasked with collecting, researching,
documenting, preserving and exhibiting our Towns treasures. We take this responsibility
seriously and consider it a privilege to do so.

Waterbury LEAP (Local Energy Action Partnership) is a local, volunteer-run nonprofit
organization with a mission to promote energy efficiency and the use of renewable
resources, and to engage our community in reducing carbon emissions in Waterbury,
Vermont and the surrounding area.
LEAP is one of more than 110 Vermont town energy committees, and is recognized as one of
the most active and productive such organizations in the state. (See www.waterburyleap.org).
In recent years LEAP has received various statewide energy awards for its work including the
Governors Award for Environmental Excellence, and Energy Leadership Awards from
the Vermont Energy & Climate Action Network (VECAN) and Vermont Natural Resources
Council (VNRC).
LEAP is the only town energy committee in Vermont to become a 501(c)(3) non-profit. We
took that step because we are striving to help turn Waterbury into the greenest community in
Vermont. Over the years we track our progress and guide our efforts through the use of a
number of measurable indicators.
In 2016 LEAP volunteers were very active and accomplished a number of important
projects. Heres a sample of LEAPs 2016 activities:
In March LEAP made a generous donation to support the school greenhouse project
at Crossett Brook Middle School. This project will help CBMS students learn
about different ways our community can become more sustainable.
On Saturday, April 11 the 10th LEAP Energy Fair was held at the CBMS gym and
attracted 75 exhibitors and more than 600 attendees. This fair is now the largest such
event in Vermont. Attendees at this free event toured displays and spoke with experts
about solar power, weatherization, green building, electric vehicles, pellet stoves,
geothermal, biomass, and many other topics. (The 11th LEAP Energy Fair will be
at CBMS gym, Saturday, April 8, 2017 from 9 AM to 3 PM. Join us!)
On May 4 Waterbury in Motion (a LEAP program) helped organize a Walk & Bike
to School Day with TBPS and CBMS. More than 150 children and adults gathered at
Rusty Parker Park, enjoyed breakfast provided by LEAP, and then bikers and walkers
proceeded in groups to TBPS and CBMS. These events help encourage an expanded
biking and walking culture in Waterbury and Duxbury.
119
On July 19 LEAP hosted the 4th LEAP Solar Fest. It was held at the Crossett
Brook Middle School cafeteria and almost 125 people attended. The free event
included free pizza, drinks and Ben & Jerry's ice cream, and the opportunity for local
residents to speak to several local solar installers, to VSECU regarding financing
solar, and to hear first-hand from a number of neighbors who are already using solar
power.
Throughout 2016 LEAP has run articles in the Waterbury Record on a wide variety
of topics related to renewable energy, energy efficiency, and emissions reduction. In
each case, the articles were designed to help readers learn different ways to save
energy and reduce their fuel bills.
LEAP members joined an effort led by local Electric Vehicle (EV) advocates to
support the installment of an EV charging station at Harwood Union High
School. The station was installed at HUHS in the fall of 2016 and is now in active
use.
On September 21 Waterbury in Motion (a LEAP program) helped organize a Walk
& Bike to School Day with TBPS and CBMS. Two hundred children and adults
gathered at Rusty Parker Park, enjoyed breakfast provided by LEAP, and then bikers
and walkers proceeded in groups to TBPS and CBMS.
On October 20 LEAP held a free Heat Pump Information Session at the Steele
Room in the new Municipal Complex. The event was standing room only.
Attendees learned how heat pumps efficiently heat and cool a house and save
money. They learned about leasing options, heard from neighbors who are already
benefitting from this technology, and then were able to speak with several local heat
pump installers who answered their questions.
LEAP and Efficiency Vermont teamed up on a mailing to inform local residents
about a $400 rebate to upgrade old electric hot water heaters to energy-efficient
heat pump water heaters.
Thanks to LEAPs leadership, Waterbury and Duxbury have been selected among 50
communities across the United States to be semi-finalists for the Georgetown
University Energy Prize (www.guep.org). The $5 million prize, which encourages
communities to save as much energy as possible, is aimed at towns of between 5,000
and 250,000 residents. The objective of the prize is to foster innovative approaches
to energy efficiency, to foster public awareness and engagement in energy-related
issues, and to grow markets for the products and services that facilitate energy
efficiency. The proposal includes actions that would help continue to improve
energy efficiency in schools, town buildings, and residences through education and
public awareness activities, and the promotion of rooftop and small-scale backyard
solar arrays for private residences. Should Waterbury and Duxbury be selected for
the finalist phase, there will be meetings in both towns to generate feedback about
how the prize money would be used. LEAP is currently collaborating with two other
120
Vermont semi-finalists (Montpelier and South Burlington) as well as Efficiency
Vermont, Green Mountain Power, and other statewide entities.
Upon the request of town officials, LEAP members have offered to assist with a
CVRPC energy planning project if the town receives the necessary grant.
Through a partnership with Efficiency Vermont, LEAP helped get a grant to pay for
a lighting upgrade at Crossett Brook Middle School. The project helped CBMS
replace old, inefficient bulbs in the school entryway with new energy-efficient LED
bulbs. This will reduce the schools energy bills for many years to come.
LEAP has dozens of volunteer members. Some help on a single project. Others are active
much of the year. We hope you will contact us and join LEAPs many local volunteers.
LEAP is doing everything we can in the areas of renewable energy, energy efficiency, and
emissions, but our work isnt possible without the generous support of friends and
neighbors like you. If you would like to make a donation to support LEAPs work in
Waterbury, please send your contribution to Waterbury LEAP, 1536 Loomis Hill Road,
Waterbury Center, VT 05677. LEAP is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. All gifts are tax deductible.
Thank you!
