2004 ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE LITCHFIELD BOARD OF SELECTMENT
his has been a year of change in Litchfield in four key offices. A new Selectman, Jack Scheiner was elected, a new Chief of Police was appointed, Chief Joseph O'Brion Jr., a new Fire Chief, Tom Schofield, was elected, and our steadfast Deputy Town Clerk/Tax Collector of many years, Diane Jerry, has decided to go back to private life. We will greatly miss Diane and wish her well. We look forward to another good year with our two new chiefs and our new Selectman.The Board offers a sincere "Thank You" to all of the over 100 volunteers on established boards or committees and at least that many again helping in other ways, such as highway clean up, Women's Club, and the Town's Churches and Service Clubs that give of their time and effort to keep this town running. Many of those are volunteering for multiple jobs that take many hours of their valuable time for the support of the Town. Without these dedicated people, this town simply would not function. For those of you who would like to know more about how this town functions and who want to make a difference, get involved and volunteer for one of the many boards or committees. Contact the Selectmen's Office for more information. This past year has seen the replacement of culverts on Nesenkeag and Talent roads, selective brush cutting along road shoulders, and the painting of centerlines on most of our streets. Due to a lack of money, the side lines were not done.We have noted a great increase in traffic on the northern end of Albuquerque Avenue since the completion of the 3A intersection from Hillcrest Avenue. This has led the Selectmen to put forward a Warrant Article for the completion of the center of the Avenue to reduce the traffic on Meadowbrook, a street not designed for such heavy traffic loads, and to delay a premature need to reconstruct Meadowbrook well before it's time. There has been a severe increase in The Town of Litchfield's Welfare spending. The spending for January alone is $3,976.58. Our Welfare Director has done a very admirable job of both controlling costs and delivering the necessary services to those in need. The Town held it's first Pearl Harbor Day Memorial Service, well attended, and we plan to make it an annual event. We need to give a hearty "Thank You" to our Town Department Heads and their staffs for their good work of attending to the Town business, and holding to their bottom line budgets. That has not been an easy task. The Board looks forward to a good and productive year in 2005. It is not always easy to take time out of your busy schedules but you are very welcome to attend any of the Selectmen's meetings on Monday nights at 7:00 PM.
Thank you for your past support and we hope to have your continued support in 2006.
Sincerely, The Town of Litchfield Board of Selectmen
