We also recommend that an agreement be made with Mrs. Hannah Jackson of Brewster Street that she be guaranteed life


-22-


tenancy on Lot #9. There is ample space elsewhere on her property for a temporary entrance or exit.


The Site 1 area is ideally located in a central position within easy walking distance of stores both north and south of Brewster Street and very convenient to the harbor and water- front.


The enclosed map shows proposed takings, with lot num- bers from the Plymouth Assessors' map, Plat #20.


Enforcement


ARTICLE 91. To see if the Town will authorize the Select- men to appoint a Board of three members to supervise, main- tain and control on- and off-street parking meters and to enforce the parking regulations insofar as said on- and off-street meters are concerned, or take any action relative thereto, said Board to have a full-time police officer assigned to enforce said regu- lations and to maintain said meters; said officer's salary and any additional enforcement personnel and clerical, legal and other expenses of said Board to be paid by appropriation from parking meter receipts.


Here the committee recommends the appointment of a three-man board by and under the Selectmen, with members serving one, two and three years respectively. This board would be solely charged with responsibility for supervising, regulating, enforcing and maintaining all curb and off-street parking in Plymouth.


This board would have the full-time services of a police- man with patrolman's status. It would also have the power to purchase all needed replacement and maintenance parts and to meet other expenses directly involved in keeping the meters and the parking lots operating at maximum efficiency.


The officer's salary and all expenses, under the committee plan, would be paid directly from meter funds. The parking police officer should be a member of the regular Plymouth


-- 23-


police force, but detached to, and under the direction of, the parking board.


The committee further recommends the appropriation of $6,000, to cover the policeman's salary, plus any replacement when he is on vacation, plus the cost of extra duty policing, or a substitute in case of the regular officer's sickness.


The committee also recommends the appropriation of $3,000 for meter replacements, maintenance parts and other expenses.


All sums are to come from existing parking meter funds.


The committee further recommends that the Selectmen place curb meters on the south side of North Street, using cur- rent parking meter funds.


The committee feels that both the acquisition of the new parking lot and the permanent enforcement of parking through the center of the town can be accomplished on a self-financing basis without adding one cent to the tax rate.


ARGUMENT FOR SELF-FINANCING FEATURE AND STRICTER ENFORCEMENT


Under our present system we are losing out on parking meter receipts from lack of proper enforcement.


To illustrate the results of the lack of proper enforcement and maintenance, our curb parking receipts have dropped steadily from $15,605 in 1949 to $10,246 in 1958. In both these years approximately the same number of meters were involved. And during the past couple of years, certainly there has been more parkers.


As the Campbell Survey states, the only legal justification for parking meters is to increase parking turnover. Therefore, without proper enforcement the system really has no legal basis for its existence. In sum, it is most important that enforce-


-24-


ment be kept at a high level for the benefit of the parking public and the community as a whole.


In this connection the Plymouth merchants and professional people are urged to cooperate fully by asking their personnel to park outside the metered areas, or to establish private park- ing areas for their accommodation wherever possible. They are also urged to have all deliveries and shipments made before or after shopping hours.


It is also the committee's understanding that new proposed zoning laws will require each new business to provide parking in an area twice the size of the ground area of the establish- ment under occupation.


The committee has also given its attention to North Plym- outh's parking problem and its recommendations are available when needed.


As for the self-financing feature of our plan, the committee would like to make the following comment:


The Campbell Survey states that with reasonable enforce- ment the town can expect an average of $75 annually from each curb space and $45 from each off-street meter. This would yield the following estimated total receipts:


217 curb meters @ $75 $16,275


314 off-street meters @ $45 14,130


$30,405


As earlier described, estimated expenses would be:


Yearly payment, loan principal


$10,000


Interest on principal 7,000*


Enforcement officer 6,000


Repairs, etc. 3,000


$26,000


-25-


*Estimated high, 31/2 per cent. Would be reduced yearly.


This should give us a yearly surplus of over $4,000, against the tax loss after the land-taking of about $2,000, based on a $60 tax rate.

Article 2. To see if the Town will vote to authorize the broadcasting of the 1959 town meeting and appropriate $200 for the expenses thereof provided that the Town receives from the broadcasting facilities a tape recording of the en- tire proceedings of the meeting so broadcast.


The Committee recommends favorable action and an appro- priation of $200.


Article 3. To hear reports of the several boards of offi- cers and committees of the town and act thereon.


Article 4. To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Town Treasurer with the approval of the Selectmen to bor- row money from time to time in anticipation of the revenue of the financial year beginning January 1, 1960 and to issue a note or notes therefor payable within one year and to renew any note or notes as may be given for a period of less than one year in accordance with Section 17, Chapter 44, General Laws.


REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL BOARD


The Personnel Board recommends that all salaries in the Town of Plymouth be increased by 3%, and that the labor group wages be increased by ten cents per hour. These in- creases are recommended after an analysis of the wage and


-26-


salary level of towns similar to Plymouth, a study of local conditions, and with consideration of increases granted in prior years. The general salary level of Plymouth compares favorably with that of towns of similar population. How- ever, in view of the increase in cost of living and increases which may be granted in comparable towns for 1959, we recommend that Plymouth salaries be increased by 3%. The wage level of the labor group of Plymouth was found to be somewhat lower than similar towns and in order to bring this group more in line with prevailing labor rates, the Personnel Board recommends that Group D Labor be in- creased by 10¢ per hour.


When the Personnel Board was organized in 1950, a very thorough evaluation of all wages and salaries was under- taken. As a result of this work, a schedule of wages and salaries was established. Since that time numerous adjust- ments have been made which have altered the relative dif- ferentials between the various groups in this schedule. The following table illustrates the increases granted to the various groups over the past eight years and the proposed increases for 1959.


The above recommendations will increase the Town Pay- roll by $25,042.00 and will increase the tax rate by 68¢.
