BUDGET MESSAGE
The enclosed Fiscal Year 1995 budget for the Town of Agawam represents the best efforts
of the administration and the employees of the town to continue the provision of quality services to
the taxpayers and citizens of Agawam. The budget contains some major expenditures which are
designed to increase the overall productivity of the organization to allow for more efficient and
effective delivery of services to the public. In addition, the budget is not predicated on the passage
of an override of Proposition 2 1/2, nor is it predicated upon the creation of any new fees or the
increase of any existing fees. It is in compliance with all the fiscal requirements of the Education
Reform Bill. As a whole this budget represents the first substantial increase in spending by the Town
of Agawam in nearly five years, and that spending is directed at one time capital expenditures to
improve the effectiveness of our local government_
In reviewing revenue estimates, the following are the major highlights:
(1) Local Aid from the Commonwealth is up a net$559,302 from FYI 994 (revenue is up
$573,674 and assessments are up$14,372). These figures are based on official cherry
sheets issued by the Department of Revenue. This increase includes an additional
$385,084 in funding via the Education Reform Bill (Chapter 70). In addition, the
town will receive an additional $98,290 in municipal stabilization aid and$95,304 in
lottery money via the raising of the cap on lottery proceeds by $40 million dollars
statewide. The Commonwealth continues to divert over $150 million dollars of
lottery proceeds away from cities and towns for their own use every fiscal year. The
gross local aid received in FY1995 is $9,382,870 whereas in FY1989, the town
received$10,607,981 from the Commonwealth_ This represents a reduction of almost
$1.25 million in local aid from what the town received 6 years ago. Since FY1989,
the town has received over $11 million dollars less in local aid from the
Commonwealth as compared with level funding. At the same time, the
Commonwealth's budget has continued to rise each year.
(2) Free Cash utilized as available funds is up $105,319 dollars from FYI 994. This is the
first increase in certified free cash in over four years, but the total utilized ($475,000)
is still far below amounts in prior years as the chart below illustrates:
1
In reviewing expenditures, the following are the highlights:
(1) The total appropriations for the town are up $1,859,824 or 5.20% over FY1994.
This overall increase is somewhat deceiving because $350,898 of it is due to the
increase in the golf course budget based on the change from a partial year to a full
year budget. Another $125,148 of the increase is the BC/I3S refund which is
recommended for appropriation to the Stabilization Fund. In addition, the Reserve
Fund is up $50,000 and there are over $175,000 in one time capital expenditures in
the budget. If you factor out these one time changes, the true increase in the budget
is approximately 3.25%.
(2) The budget contains the cost of living adjustments(4.5%) negotiated in the last round
of collective bargaining with the school and town employees. The salary accounts are
based on a 52 week schedule instead of the 53 week schedule which was necessitated
in the FY1994 budget. The reduction of one week softened the impact of the cost of
living adjustments in FYI 995.
(3) The budget also contains funding for a new comprehensive software package for the
town and schools. The package is personal computer based and will run on the
network which the town is in the process of installing. The package is offered by The
Computer Center-MUNIS, and it includes the following application software:
- Accounting/Budgeting/Payables
- Purchase Orders
- Requisitions
- Accounts Receivable
- Integrated Cash Receipts
- Payroll
- Personnel Management
= Tax Billing& Collection
- Excise Tax Billing & Collection
- Project Accounting
- Inventory Control
- Land Management (Permit tracking)
- Utility Billing interface with TABS Water/Sewer system
Town Clerk(Voter/Census)
- IQ Query/Report Writer/Data Bridge

y
The package is the most comprehensive software available for utilization by
municipalities in Massachusetts today. The town through a committee comprised of
Laurel Placzek(Collector/Treasurer),Fred Messier(Data Processing Manager), Carol
Taylor (Auditor), Jack Stone (DPW Supt.) and Gary Goulet (Computer
Operator/Network Administrator) has studied available software and prepared and
issued a request for proposals for new software. It is the unanimous recommendation
of the committee to acquire the MUNIS software package. The cost of the package
including application software, system software, training, conversion services, project
management services and cash station hardware is$117,750. The annual support cost
for the first year is $6,846. The funding to acquire this software package is contained
in the Treasurer/Collector budget and the Water/Sewer budgets. In addition, a
memorandum which provides additional information is contained in the
Treasurer/Collector budget section.
(4) The budget includes funding for the acquisition of hardware to create a personal
computer network at the Agawam Police Station. This hardware coupled with the
acquisition of the IMC Police Information Software will greatly modernize the police
service operation. The ultimate service provided by police officers is on the street,
and the integration of a new computerized information system will significantly
improve the efficiency of the department thereby effectively putting more man hours
on the street. It will also provide much needed data to allow the department to
analyze and evaluate crime and accident trends to better customize service delivery_
The Chief has prepared a memorandum which is in the Police budget section which
provides additional information.
5 I strongly support the one time expenditures to enhance the computer literacy f our
( ) �y 1}p p p y o
town's government. I have a vision of easy data accessibility for all town residents in
the future. Any resident could log onto a terminal in town hall and garner any
information that they may desire. This approach is very similar to the accessibility of
data now afforded in the Assessor's Office. The approach assists the public with
quick and easy access to data, and it assists the employees through the sharing of
information. The town has made great strides in improving its computer literacy over
the past five years, and it now stands ready to take a large step forward into the
growing information age.
4
(6) In looking at some of the traditional budget busters such as solid waste, retirement
costs and medical insurance, this year the town is fortunate to see no large increases.
The solid waste line item is up $33,245 over FY1994 which reflects the contracted
increase in the multi-year contract with BFI. Retirement costs fell dramatically by
over $200,000 in FY1995, while medical insurance costs remained stable as claims
utilization remains below current medical inflation rates. The surety bonds and
insurance account is up $50,000 which reflects a change in the worker's compensation
program for the town. Beginning in FY1995, the town will be self insuring worker's
compensation through a new program offered by our liability and property carrier.
The program provides the opportunity for significant long term cost savings with
strong in house claims management. In addition, it is a claims paid program which
gives the town the benefit of the available cash flow. Lastly, principal and interest
costs remained virtually unchanged for FY1995 with short term borrowing on
Tuckahoe, the Jr. High heating system bond and the golf course bond.
(7) One area that is new for FYI995 is the appropriation to the Stabilization Fund. As
indicated above, the town received a $125,148 BC/BS refund which I am
recommending be placed into the Stabilization Fund. The town has been fortunate
! over the past several years to have the ability to draw from the Stabilization Fund on
an annual basis for the replacement of equipment during times of fiscal constraint. I
believe that it is important to begin to rebuild the Stabilization Fund for the next rainy
day.
8 The following is a review of some of the major areas of the town's budget:
{ ) g J g
(a) Education: The School Department operating budget is u P $700,703 or 4.42% over
P P g
FY1994. The Net School Spending is up $831,888 from$19,919,326 in FY1994 to
$19,751,214 in FY1995. In addition, you should note that instead of the School
Budget being contained as a single line item in the town budget, it is now broken out
as three separate line items. The three line items are Transportation Cost Center,
Recreation Cost Center (contains,funds for special ed transportation for Camp
Rainbow) and General School Account. This breakdown represents educational
versus non-educational expenses under the Education Reform Law. Under Education
Reform, transportation is not considered an educational expense, and it is not counted
in determining compliance with the net school spending requirement. The
Department of Revenue recommends the separation of educational and non-
educational expenses in the school budget in order to prevent the possibility of
transfer between the items and possible non-compliance with Education Reform. The
5
down side to the town is that if the transportation line items are exhausted, the school
department will be forced to seek additional funds from the town.
(b) Public Safety: The Police and Fire Department budgets reflect funding necessary to
maintain existing staffing levels, while trying to address some capital needs of each
department. The Fire Department budget contains funds to acquire a new 4-wheel
drive vehicle for use by the inspection services, the emergency medical services and
the fire prevention services. The funding in the budget represents two-thirds of the
cost of the vehicle, with the remaining third being provided by the ambulance fees
fund. This past winter highlighted the need for more 4-wheel drive vehicles to allow
emergency services to reach residents during bad weather times. The Police
Department contains funding for a personal computer network as indicated above,
and it provides funding for the replacement of five cruisers. The existing cruisers will
need to be replaced during the upcoming fiscal year as they will all exceed 100,000
miles. Overall public safety spending is up $251,314 or 6.03%. (It bears note that
I expect to bring forward the necessary agenda items for the construction of a new
fire headquarters facility during this summer.)
(c) General Government: The largest increase in this budget area is the funding for a new
computer software package as indicated above. Overall spending in this area is up
$302,378 or 8.13%with the bulk of the increase being the result of the new computer
system. Building Maintenance also is receiving a 6.49°lo increase over FY1994 with
the inclusion of several repair projects in the schools. In addition, there is one change
in personnel in the Building Maintenance Department, with recent retirements two
custodial positions are being eliminated and they are replaced with two building
maintenance positions. This change will allow the town to increase the level of
maintenance performed in our buildings. The budget also contains funds for contract
cleaning of town hall, the police station, the library and the early childhood center at
Perry Lane Park. These facilities are small and the utilization of full time personnel
has proven to be inefficient and not cost effective. We expect to solicit bids from
outside services for the cleaning of these buildings beginning in September.
(d) Public Works: Overall spending is up $163,563 or 6.76%. In the Highway budget,
there is an increase of$40,000 in road materials for road repairs and resurfacing;
increases in snow removal accounts based on funding on a ten year average(updated
to current rates); and one personnel change. The existing Deputy Supt. in the
Hghway division is retiring, and he will be replaced by two Deputy Supt.-Foremen.
The two individuals presently work as Foremen in the division and they work well as
6
a team. The personnel change involves upgrading their present positions to Tier 3 in
the administrative pay plan. In addition,there is one additional laborer reflected in the
budget, as well as,the positions from the grounds department at the golf course, The
Engineering budget contains funding for a new survey instrument to replace the
antiquated equipment now used. The existing equipment is outdated and parts
availability has become nearly non-existent. The Engineering budget also contains
funds for a plans copier to allow for in-house reproduction of plans. Many plans are
very old and brittle and if they are not reproduced soon they will fall apart.
(e) Health and Human Services: Total funding is up $32,218 or 2.52%. The Council on
Aging budget has remained constant due to savings derived from the installation of
a new gas fired heating and hot water system. The Library budget shows a decrease
because last year's budget contained one time expenditures for a computerized card
catalog system (On-Line Public Access Catalog computer system). The OPAC
system is due for installation shortly at the Library. There are two similar personnel
changes at the COA and the Library. Both changes involve the upgrade of an existing
employee to the position of Assistant Director. At the COA, the Executive Director
lacks an assistant to place in charge during vacations and time spent away from the
center. Likewise, the Library Director(Chief Librarian)lacks an assistant to supervise
while the director is away. In both instances, the creation of an assistant director
position will greatly assist the department head in planning and supervising their
operations. Please note that it will result in no new hiring, existing personnel will be
promoted from within to fill both positions. The Parks &Recreation budget contains
funds for repairs to the pool area at Perry Lane Park. The pool is in need of some
upkeep to prevent future costly repairs. The budget also contains funding for the
continuation of the Perry Lane Park day camp and the Camp Rainbow program for
special needs children. The Health Department contains funds to continue its program
of community involvement and school and public health service provision. Please
note that the part time school nurses will again be paid for by the tobacco tax grant.
(1) Benefits and Insurance: As stated above, the town was fortunate to avoid costly
increases in medical insurance this fiscal year. With the decrease in retirement costs
the overall spending in this area dropped $144,788 or 4.07% in FY1995. As stated
above, the Surety Bonds and Insurance line item is up due to the implementation of
a new self insured worker's compensation program.
7
(g) Reserve Find: The budget includes an increase of$50,000 in the reserve fund from
$250,000 in FY1994 to $300,000 in FY1995. The increase is due to greater
responsibility for possible cost overruns in school transportation and reflects the latest
trend in snow removal costs over the past two years.
In conclusion, the FYI995 budget contains the funding necessary to continue the provision
of quality services to the residents of Agawam and Feeding kiills. The budget also relies on no new
fees, no increases of existing fees and no overrides of Proposition 2 1/2. It provides for one time
capital expenditures which are designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the town's
government, with the ultimate goal of providing the best possible services to the taxpayers of our
community. This budget contains the first real increase in five years, and the first time in five years
that we stand able to move forward into the information age. Please do not hesitate to contact the
with any questions, and I make a standing offer to meet with any councilor to discuss any questions
or concerns that you may have.
Respectfully Subtnitted,
Christopher C. Johnson
Mayor
P.S. Special thanks to my Executive Assistant Linda Mortenson, my Administrative Assistant
Jennifer Glover, Carol Taylor,Jack Stone and Laurel Placzek for all their time and assistance
in developing and preparing this budget document.

TOWN OF AGAWAM
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
' Date: May 23, 1994
' To: Mayor Christopher C. Johnson Steno:
From. Laurel A. Placzek cc:
Subject: Computer Software and Hardware Budget Request
' In 1984, the Town purchased the Digital PDP-11 computer to replace the Honeywell computer that
had been installed in 1972. At that time,the Town recognized that computer costs and utilization had
changed drastically in the previous ten years. Change was necessary in order for the Town to keep
costs down and to keep up with changing technology.
' Data processing systems have improved at an even faster pace in the ten years since 1984. Computer
technology has increased and improved at such a startling rate that what was considered as state of
the art equipment a year ago is already becoming obsolete. The Town is again faced with the choice
' made ten years ago: Change is necessary in order for the Town to keep costs down and to keep up
with changing technology. The Town's Digital PDP-11 has become outmoded and is unable to adapt
to fourth generation computer languages. Our current software providers have recognized the
shortcomings of the Digital PDP-11. They have said that they will no longer write new programming
for the Digital PDP-11 after the current revisions are completed. The current system requires
cumbersome programming language that makes formal documentation difficult. Due to this
' programming difficulty and lack of adequate documentation, Data Processing must place increased
reliance on those individuals having detailed knowledge of the programs on the PDP-11. Changes
to existing programs become difficult and time consuming. In addition, changes based on a
misunderstanding of a program due to the lack of documentation can cause errors in other portions
of the system. Moreover, user departments may follow procedures and controls that are inaccurate
or inefficient if the program is not fully documented.
During fiscal year 1994, the Town recognized the need to update the computer system by establishing
the Computer Network Study Committee and by purchasing the Novell personal computer network
that is presently being installed at Town Hall.
' We now need to capitalize upon this investment by purchasing software that will take advantage of
the increased capability provided by the new network. The network, with new software will provide
for faster processing and will integrate programs so that redundant processing will not be required
by various departments. Please note that this proposal includes software applications that will be
useful to all Town departments and are not specific to the Treasurer-Collector's office. The Town's
current software includes general ledger, census, accounts payable and payroll on one system and
taxes and utility billing on a separate system. It is used primarily by the Auditor, Clerk, Collector,
Data Processing and School Departments. Once the network is installed, software applications
should be made available to all departments that are on the network.
' Mayor Christopher C. Johnson Page Two
May 23, 1994
The proposed software is MUNIS (MUNicipal Information Systems). It is a mature, fully integrated
' system. It was developed in RMICOBOL for UNIX and MS-DOS/PC-LAN systems and is being
migrated to INFORMIX-4GL. The Town of Williamstown currently uses MUNIS in the same
environment that the Town will have installed (a Novell network and a Windows environment). The
Town Accountant in Williamstown speaks very highly of the MUNIS software. MUNIS is also
installed in 54 Massachusetts municipalities on various types of computer hardware. We spoke with
three local communities(Chicopee,Holyoke and Northampton)when reviewing the MUNIS proposal
t and received favorable recommendations. This software will offer the Town flexibility in hardware
selection and the ability to operate in an "open system" and "industry standard" environment.
' In addition to the applications currently in use, MUNIS software also provides the following
applications which are presently being performed manually or on "homegrown" computer
' spreadsheets developed by various departments for their individual use:
Budgeting Integrated Cash Receipts
Purchase Orders Project Accounting
Requisitions Inventory Control
Accounts Receivable Land Management
' Report Writing
By automating manual functions and reducing redundant processing, the Town should be better able
to utilize financial information and to focus on the services provided to the citizens of Agawam.
In addition to providing increased and improved data processing capability, MUNIS software will
' also provide future costs savings. We are currently spending approximately $46,347 per year on
software support and hardware maintenance for the Town and School. Support costs for the new
software will be $9,584 in fiscal year 1996, providing a savings of$23,000 over the current Town
costs. The initial investment should be recovered within four years. As the school student record
keeping system is migrated from the Digital PDP-11 to personal computers, additional savings should
be realized. Savings, in addition to net software costs, are realized as different functions are
automated. For example, during the second half of 1994, we were able to utilize new technology to
print the real estate, personal property and motor vehicle excise tax bills with an OCR scan line. By
bringing this function in-house, we were able to save $6,380 in outside printing costs.
The new software system will fully automate the Town of Agawamr s financial systems. It will
' provide a total system that meets the Town's present needs and will provide the flexibility to deal with
changes in both the Town's computer environment and in the computer industry.

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
FROM: Chief Robert D. Campbell DATE. _06103194
TO: May r Chri to her Johnson SUBJECT: _Police Station Mgt Proggram
'Probably the single greatest techmical limitation on the criminal justice system-s ability to make
' decisions wisely and fairly is that people in the system often are required to decide issues without
in fonnation."
' Although the above was written in 1967 by the President's Commission on Law Enforcement
and Administration of Justice in its publication, T e Challenge of QriMe in a Fref'. 5ociely,
the need for information and often the lack of it, are still of concern to police 'managers 27
years later. The Agawam Police Department in particular, is still plagued with technical
limitations and lack of information as we attempt to resolve the complex police issues of the
' 1990's and into the 21st century.
The last major upgrade that we had in our records system was in 1978 when the Municipal
Police Institute .system was brought in. This system brought in a filing system that
referenced incidents by geography, by type, by alphabet, and in cases of major events, by an
incident number. In a time before computers were available to anyone other than a major
corporation or university, this system of records keeping was a major innovation. Prior to
this, we were pretty much restricted to alphabetical files.
The reason that the MPI system was innovative was that we now had a tool, although very
limited, to identify crime patterns by geographical zones and by incident type.In theory, this
system was a good idea. In practice, it is just too labor intensive to be a practical tool. In
addition, paper records get lost, create storage problems, and are hard to handle. There are
great redundancies built into a paper system so that records do not get lost. Misfiling occurs
all too frequently with sometimes disastrous results. With the limited resources available
today, automated records systems are a necessity if we want to collect, analyze, structure,
manipulate, and disseminate information.
' In the case of the system of hardware and software that I am proposing for the Agawam
Police Department, the automation begins at the dispatch terminal. Since most police
activity begins at the dispatch, the radio dispatch record usually serves as the basis for
managing the operation of the police department. If this record can be computerized, I
would be able to extract a reasonably complete record of measurable police work load.
This workload would be categorized by type of call, distribution both chronologically and
geographically, and the amount of time an officer spends on each call. The measurable
police work load is then used as a basis for calculating time spent for other police functions
' such as preventive patrol and administrative (ie: report writing, cruiser checks, etc.) tasks.
These numbers would then serve as the basis for calculating police manpower requirements
' by more scientific means than "seat of the pants" guesswork.
With approximately 16,000 incidents recorded at dispatch each year, the task of extracting
the above information by hand search would be monumental. Our current system allows
filing by type of incident and geographically but both are independent files and not
interrelated. Right now I can find statistics on how many calls are answer in a given area
' or how many types of incidents happened so far this year. A hand search would be required
to determine how many types of incidents happened in a particular area. Automation would
generate this type of information along with time of day, day of the week, and the season
(month).
In addition to automatically putting information into the system, automation also allows us
to extract information and make it instantly available to the officers on the street. The IMC
system integrates the records with the dispatch system so when a car is sent to a particular
location, the system can perform a name check, perform a specific address check or a check
' of all addresses on a street to determine if there is any open warrants, prior arrests,
restraining orders, and/or a gun permits.
' Within the records division itself, the proposed system eliminates almost all of the labor
intensive tasks required such as separating incident cards, filing them in three separate areas
of the manual records system, filing follow-up reports in another numbered folder system,
and filing arrest sheets in still another numbered folder system. Each day, prior to filing,
the records division must make photocopies of all major incidents and direct a set to each
Captain to keep them informed of the prior days activities and to serve as a report review
' process. Automation would put this information at a terminal and instantly accessible.
To describe all of the features available with the proposed automated records and dispatch
system would take many pages. A booklet is available to explain all the features and
options. The point to be made is that the information that can be generated on such a
system is now unavailable or only available on a limited basis because of the labor intensive
task of hand searching. The Agawam Police department is one of the very few departments
of any size that still relies on a paper record keeping system with no computer assistance.
Information is the key in running any organization whether it be a police department or a
hardware department. Without access to statistics and information, most of what is done
is simply by guesswork or the old "Rules of Thumb." This is not an efficient way to set
priorities and direct resources.
I would strongly urge that you provide sufficient funding for both hardware and software
requirements so that we may bring policing in Agawam into the I990's.
