Letter dated June 9, 2014 from the Town of Pembroke Chief Wall –
Chief Michael Miksch –
Pembroke Police would like to thank Detective Paul O’Brien and Officer Sarah Fantasia, working with the Old Colony Police Anti-Crime Task Force, for their role in the investigation, search warrant execution and the arrest of Pembroke resident for Drug Trafficking.
For the past several months members of the Pembroke Police Department and the Old Colony Police Anti-Crime Task Force have been investigating the Heroin Distribution and trafficking problem that has plagued our neighborhoods and infected our youth. On Wednesday, May 28, 2014, as a result of their diligence, two search warrants were granted by the Plymouth Court and executed by the members of OCPAC. The target suspect, Paul Castanha age 24 of Johnson Street, Pembroke, was arrested for Trafficking Heroin and Distribution of a Class “A” substance. A search of his residence led to the discovery of over 30 grams of heroin and equipment associated with drug distribution.
Drug problems know no jurisdictional boundaries and our problem drug houses are linked to your drug problems. I believe that through their efforts the Task Force has made a dent in our drug problem. We are thankful for their service.
Respectfully
Chief Richard Wall.
Chief Miksch noted that Hanson is part of the Old Colony Police Anti-Crime Task Force known as OCPAC. He explained that the individual had been dealing drugs in Hanson. Det. O’Brien had been working hard on the case. The Department is proactive and they are working with area communities as part of the unit. The Chief thanked the Board for allowing the Department to be part of the OCPAC.
William Farmer – Plymouth County Retirement – Pension Bond – Mr. San Angelo indicated that when he arrived in Hanson, he became aware of the situation regarding the pension short fall. Mr. San Angelo has been working with area Town Administrators in order to get the pensions bonded. This is a time critical matter. The underfunding of pension plans is a nationwide problem.
Mr. Farmer distributed a Pension Bonding Analysis for the Town of Hanson. He pointed out that
$204,481 is the cost for all active employees for this year. The unfunded amount of $13,085,146 this is based on 8.25%
The Retirement Board has filed a bill with the legislature which would allow the Pension system to bond the unfunded liability at 4.4%. Mr. Farmer pointed out there are three different risks associated with bonding; actuarial which is based on a variety of assumptions such as investment returns, payroll increases, COLAs, mortality and early retirement; market risk is the long-term investment and other risks include variance from the anticipated investment return, possible saving that are greater or less than expected, variance of savings from year to year. The Retirement Board cannot guarantee what the earnings will be. Mr. Farmer noted that last year they earned 17% .
If the bill is approved by the Legislature, Mr. Farmer explained that each town has 60 days to decide to opt out of the bonding. If it passes, they will have the Bond underwriters come out and meet with the communities.
He also explained that the Plymouth County Retirement Association is not just Plymouth County. There are 56 units in the system. Mr. Farmer recommended that the Board members contact their legislators.
The Bond would be structured over 20 years. The earnings have to be more than 4.4% to be profitable.
Mr. San Angelo indicated that the reason this makes sense is because the rates are at a historic low.
Mr. Farmer is being as conservative as possible. If the interest increased to 5.5% he would not recommend bonding.
Mr. Farmer invited Board members to contact him if they wished to discuss the matter in more detail.
Chief Miksch – Discuss future hiring process – Chief Miksch explained the process in which he plans to hire new officers. With respect to the most recent vacancy due to Sgt. Perron’s retirement, he would like to advertise for a fully trained officer and fill the vacancy with a lateral transfer from another police department. He explained that by using a lateral transfer, he will not have to pay to send someone to the academy. As the academy only accommodates approximately 40 recruits, it fills up quickly. The earliest he could get a candidate in would be April or September 2015. Once in the academy, it takes approximately one year before they are ready for work.
Chief Miksch anticipates at least two more vacancies within the next year. With respect to the future anticipated vacancies, Chief Miksch would like to go back to the written exam process in order to establish a pool of candidates. He noted that several departments are coming out of Civil Service. There are a few companies which conduct exams for communities. There is a fee charged to the candidates who take the exams, which are common knowledge exams. Some exams include a writing component. He would like to fill Sgt. Perron’s position as soon as possible. He doesn’t want to fall too low in the work force with two vacancies.
Mr. Scott agrees that the lateral transfers are a good idea, but the Chief needs to be careful of who is brought on from other departments. Mr. Young feels it is logical progress. Mr. Amico asked if the special police officers are a source for vacancies. Chief Miksch indicated that those individuals are good for special events such as Memorial Day, but they can only work up to 280 days per year. Chief Miksch feels that to go back to that system would require a contractual negotiation. He suggested using the applicants from the pool of candidates as part-time officers in order to assess their abilities is a better practice. However, he feels that system would be implemented a few years down the road.
By consensus the Board agrees with the Chief’s plan for a lateral transfer and conducting exams for future hires.
Building Commissioner – Violation of Junk By-law Art. 3 - 11, Sec. 1 – 248 East Washington Street
Building Commissioner, Robert Curran indicated that he has been seeking enforcement at 248 East Washington Street for the last several years. Mr. Curran has been at the location no less than 15 times over the last three years. He provided the Board with copies of enforcement letters and photographs.
Mr. Curran requested that the Board move to determine that the property is detrimental to the public good.
Mr. Soper would like the Board to move to bring the individual to Housing Court. Mr. Curran would like the Board to allow him to contact Town Counsel.
MOTION by Young, second Scott to authorize the Building Commission to get advice from Town Counsel and determine that in accordance with Article 3-11 the Board determines that the property is considered detrimental to the public safety, health and good. Voted 5 – 0

Acceptance of Gift – Newcomb Tree Service – Fire Equipment –
Mr. Soper read a letter into the record from Newcomb Tree Service:
Dear Members,
On March 2, 2014 an employee of Newcomb’s Tree Service reported to work to find a significant outside fire that had spread to an area where several logs were being stored. The fire department was called and when they arrived they surveyed the situation. I watched as several hundred feet of hose was being laid out and fire engines were strategically placed to pump water to the fire that was at the very rear of the property. During this operation I observed some firefighters on hose lines and a piece of equipment that required minimal firefighters to operate. I asked Chief Thompson about this piece of equipment (rapid attack monitor) and he explained that this was a demonstration unit and that the department had just ordered one. He went on to explain
how valuable this piece of equipment is to departments that have limited manpower and how it could be used at several types of fires.
The fire department was at Newcomb’s Tree Service for several hours extinguishing the fire. The members that were there were courteous, professional and worked well with the operators of the heavy machinery that was used to assist in extinguishing the fire. Knowing that this fire had incurred costs to the Town, Newcomb’s Tree Service wanted to show our appreciation by purchasing an additional rapid attack monitor for the department.
Please accept this donation to the Town of Hanson from Newcomb’s Tree Service. As a resident and the operator of the business in town I know from first-hand experience that the piece of equipment will assist our fire department in extinguishing and controlling fires.
Sincerely,
Kenny Mitchell
General Manager
Newcomb’s Tree Service LLC
