The council develops, adopts, and enacts policies and ordinances, which it believes promote and enhance the general welfare of the town. Meetings are held on the first and third Thursday of every month except in the months of July and August when only one meeting each month is held. The Councilos deliberative actions in FY07 caused the advancement of topical and substantive issues, which will improve the quality of life for both present and future generations of Barnstable citizens. Some of the significant initiatives included. In early FY07 (July 1, 2006-June 30, 2007) the Town Council voted to place on the ballot three tax questions for the November 2006 ballot.The three non-binding questions included one to measure the support for a split tax that would allocate more of the tax levy to commercial and industrial payers, another relative to a residential exemption that would shift a burden to residential property owners that live elsewhere, and the third non-binding question related to a small-business exemption. In November the Council voted to adopt a different tax rate for commercial and residential properties, approving a 15 percent shift consistent with the sentiment as expressed at the ballot box, which supported a split tax. The Council also approved a 20-percent residential exemption and 10-percent small business exemption. In December, Barnstable Town Council Vice President Janet Joakim, Precinct 6, was unanimously elected Council President for 2007. Her vice president, Councilor Gary Brown, was a man returning to that role. Hyannis councilor Gary Brown had previously served two terms as vice president and two terms as president. The Council began deliberations and subsequently passed a$6.1 million . capital improvement plan. The plan called for funding a total of some 20 In June'o f 2007, . projects for the town,schools and enterprise funds.The recommendations included $735,000 for the town's vehicle and equipment replacements; the Town of $3.1 million from the capital trust fund, with road maintenance taking some $2.78 million; and borrowing $2.35 million for larger town and Barnstable was school projects. The$6.1 million capital plan also included a$500,000 borrowing request to build a co-generation plant for Barnstable's high named an school. The 250-kilowatt gas-fired turbine would generate the additional electricity required by the facility during peak demand periods negating All-America City. the need to purchase this power from the electric grid saving thousands of dollars every year. The capital plan also included a$508,000 renovation of the cellblock at the Barnstable Police Station. In early summer the Council also wrapped up the FY07 operating budget approving some $142 million equaling approximately a 5% increase over the FY06 budget.- The $142 million new spending breaks out as $56.6 million for schools $30.2 for municipal operations, fixed cost increases of some $36.5 million, and $18.7 million for enterprise fund operations. In FY07, The Barnstable Town Council approved an additional $6.7 million for the Hyannis Youth and Community Center, bringing the Town of Barnstable's commitment to the project to $19.3 million. The extra funding brings the project to $25.1 million, including a $1 million federal grant, $3.5 million from the state, $1 million from the Lorusso Foundation and $340,000 in private fund raising. The scope of the project expands the capacity of the rinks, and allows for two full basketball courts in addition to a walking track. Beyond the rinks and gymnasium, the core of the youth center facility remains essentially unchanged. ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE II In June of 2007,The Town of Barnstable was named an All-America City.The Denver, Colorado-based National Civic League conferred that title on Barnstable and nine other communities at its national competition in Anaheim, California. The competition is not about being judged the best community in the country, but communities that have identified and met specific challenges. For Barnstable, the three areas addressed were downtown revitalization, youth initiatives, and affordable housing. The revamped and "incentivized" downtown zoning, creation of the growth management department and investment in the Zion Union Heritage Museum were all part of the downtown portion of the presentation. The National Civic League has been giving All-America City awards since 1959. Theodore Roosevelt started the league in 1894• The competition is application-based. The town was notified in April of 2007 that it was among 21 finalists. Barnstable was the only first-year winner in the competition. Lastly, the Council appointed more than 70 citizens to town boards or commissions. There are some 45 boards and commissions in the Town of Barnstable, on which civic- minded citizens serve in an advisory or regulatory role. The boards and commissions play a critically important role in town government. The Barnstable Town Council remains grateful to each and every citizen who volunteers his or her time in service to our community. Lastly, I want to give my deepest thanks and appreciation to each and every town and school employee in our community.I am grateful for their daily commitment to excellence in public service—thank you.

We start this evening by honoring an individual who has dedicated his life to our community's young. He has chosen to make a difference. One child at a time. Stu's commitment to our youth is truly inspirational. Ladies and Gentlemen, please join me in thanking Stu Peoples for his extraordinary public service. We do make Barnstable better one child at a time. We also make Barnstable better one family at a time. Barnstable is a community of families. Strong, vibrant families who understand that the family unit is at the core of who we are. Families teaching us_about honor and integrity and morality. Families supporting us and teaching us right from wrong. We honor one family tonight with a remarkable story to tell. A story of strength and courage, of honor and of service. George and Mary Morrison moved to Barnstable in 1959 and raised seven children. Mary, an educator, taught Latin and French, and George worked for the Town of Barnstable in the Police Department and the Parking Division. One of their children, Brian, enlisted and served in the United States Navy and in the Reserves. When the United States was attacked on September 11th, our country went to war. And when the call went out, George and Mary's youngest, Brian, a Barnstable Police officer, answered that call. Brian Morrison served for a year, assigned to a small boat unit patrolling the, waterways throughout the Persian Gulf including Iraq and Iran. And in August of 2005, when that long year was over for Brian, and when the Morrison's prayers were answered that their youngest was safe and coming home from war, the family faced was facing ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE I 13 another challenge. Brian's brother Tony, the oldest son, an assistant principal in the DY school system, a resident of West Barnstable and a marine and an Army reservist, had received the call himself. And in August of 2005,just as Brian was coming home,Tony was on his way over to Northern Kuwait and Southern Iraq. Tony served for 15 months as a crew chief working on helicopters conducting combat air missions and moving mili- tary personnel throughout the region. Tony finally came home to his wife Kathleen in November of 2006. One family. Two soldiers, risking their lives in service to this country. So where did their strength, their resolve, their unselfish commitment and dedication to our commu- nity and to our nation,'where did it come from? It came from a remarkable family. A father and mother who taught responsibility and honor and courage and integrity and citizenship to their children. The Morrison family is a shining example of how important families are to our community. The courage and honor of Officer Brian Morrison and Assistant Principal Tony Morrison are inspirations to us all. They are Barnstable's heroes. Ladies and Gentlemen, please join me in recognizing Brian and Tony Morrison, their mother Mary and the Morrison family. Barnstable is getting better. One child at a time and one family at a time. We are also getting better one neighborhood at a time. Over the past year, neighbors all over Barnstable have joined hands to address local needs, and in so doing, have made Barnstable better. Whether it is working with Councilor Ann Canedy on traffic concerns in Cummaquid,working with Hank Farnham on issues on Sandy Neck, working with Janet Joakim, Tom Rugo and Fred Chirigotis on beach access issues in Centerville or working on water quality issues with Councilors Leah Curtis and Janice Barton in Marstons Mills, we know that when neighbors join hands to solve a problem, the job gets done. And that is exactly what happened recent- ly in yet another neighborhood. When neighbors expressed concerns in the Sea Street neighborhood of Hyannis, a wonderful couple came forward to answer the call. Jennifer Cullum and Eduardo Maas are the owners of the Sea Street Market. When Jennifer and Eduardo purchased the Market in 2005, they knew that work needed to be done on the building and on the business.They also knew that work had to be done in the neighbor- hood. Chronic complaints were heard about drug abuse and other crime, speeding cars at all hours of the night, litter along the roadway and properties in disrepair. But Jen and Eduardo had their hands full getting the store up and running, right? They certainly couldn't be expected to spearhead an effort to cleanup the neighborhood. But that did not stop them from organizing the neighborhood into action. You see,Jen and Eduardo believe that"caring is contagious". So they started out with discussions with our Police Department about crime to begin a neighbor- hood watch program. Then they had discussions with } '£ the Department of Public Works to establish a Sea Street _ y Cleanup Day. And we know that this is only the begin- =y � ring. There is a new feeling on Sea Street. Jen and Eduardo's theme of "caring is contagious" is, in fact, catching on. Residents who were talking about leaving are now talking about their future on Sea Street. Jen and Eduardo could have said,we're too busy to get involved. They could have said, it's not our responsibil- ity. They could have said, let someone else deal with it. But they refused to accept the status quo. Jen and it Eduardo are shining examples of what is right in 14 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2007 Barnstable.They work to improve our Town by working every day to improve our neigh- borhoods. We are building a better Barnstable one neighborhood at a time because Jen and Eduardo are right, caring is contagious. Ladies and Gentlemen, please join me in recognizing and thanking Jennifer Cullum and Eduardo Maas. Barnstable is a community getting better all the time. One child at a time, one family at a time and one neighborhood at a time. And caring people are making the differ- ence. FY 2007: A YEAR OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight we assemble to assess the state of our Town. The evalu- ation of our condition is founded on the mission statement of this Town Council, "...to provide the best possible services consistent with our budget policy." We strive to provide the highest quality services and programs possible. But we also take our fiduciary respon- sibility very seriously. That's why we continue to be one of the few Massachusetts com- munities to receive the prestigious Government Finance Officers Excellence in Budgeting Award and, once again, the Excellence in Financial Reporting Award. Our Town Council has made it clear. Financial responsibility is our highest priority. We owe our thanks to them and to Finance Director Mark Milne and the entire Finance staff and the tireless efforts of a guy who quietly but effectively does a terrific job on our budget every year, Budget Director Bob O'Brien. We thank them for their dedication to financial excellence. We, in Barnstable, have advocated a financial strategy that has the experts talking. And what do they say about us? Out of the State's 351 cities and towns,Barnstable is one of only 9 to have been given a AAA bond rating,the highest a municipality can receive.. We accomplished what some said was impossible for a community with a seasonal econ- omy. This Council and our staff refused to believe that it was impossible to rise to the top and Barnstable, once again, has accomplished its mission. How is it that we con- tinue to receive statewide and national recognition for what we do?All you have to know is how capable and committed our employees are to understand how we get these results. Our dedicated Town and District employees are second to none. They've done a ter- rific job at providing quality services in financially challenging times. Our Departments of Public Works, Growth Management, Regulatory Services, Administrative Services and Community Services have given their all again this year. Our dedicated School Committee and School Superintendent Patti Grenier have done an extraordinary job at improving our school system. As a community, we are blessed with libraries that cultivate and foster our intellect. We are grateful to our Fire and Water Districts, made up of the very finest professionals in the country, as they work to preserve and protect our health and safety so very well. Our Police Department, under the new leadership of Chief Paul McDonald, has set a new standard of excellence in real community policing. The men and women of our Police Department work everyday in an increasingly uncertain world to protect each and every one of us. They are implementing new and improved neighborhood approaches that are already showing results. Thank you all for ensuring our well-being. We are fulfilling our long-standing commitment to our entire community with a new Youth and Community Center's construction starting this year, an expanded Senior Center and the creation of the Zion Union Heritage Museum, thanks to the efforts of Councilor Harold Tobey, the Lorusso Foundation, Reverend Harris and so many others. When we mentioned a Performing Arts Center last year,eyebrows where raised. But one year later we have already secured a site and are working with a Citizens Committee on ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 15 planning issues. And we've begun the initial fundraising efforts for the Center. Do you still think it is impossible to have a performing arts and cultural center here in Hyannis? Just you wait. In addition, we succeeded in acquiring property on Pearl Street to realize our goal of establishing the Shirley Blair Flynn Center for the Creative Arts. Our dear friend Pat Curcio would not allow us to say it can't be done.Her dogged pursuit of arts and cultural programs has made us a better community. Pat has worked for years to foster the creative arts in Barnstable and in so doing,has improved the quality of all of our lives. Ladies and Gentlemen, please join me in thanking Pat Curcio for her years of commitment to our community. Civic engagement continues to be an important priority, as well. We continued to implement outreach measures with more than 4,000 households now receiving our monthly newsletter. Our website is seen by thousands of visitors a month. We continue our annual citizen's survey, our talk shows, our village visioning sessions, our Town Hall public information area,and our latest addition, Streaming Video and Video on Demand, where citizens can watch our programming at their convenience 24 hours a day. We also continue our successful Citizens Leadership Academy, "Inside Barnstable Town Government" and our ever popular Barnstable Citizens Police Academy. When we pro- posed the Leadership Academy several years ago, the naysayers said it would not work. They said that people are too busy and are no longer interested in local government. Ladies and Gentlemen, its four years.and nine classes later, and residents are still lining up to take the course. The overwhelming success of the Academy is due, not only to our professional staff, but to the Program's coordinators who have done an amazing job organizing our Academy each semester. I would like to acknowledge them for their outstanding public service, please join me in our thanks to Meg Loughran and Sue French. TOWN EMPLOYEES ARE OUR CORE Our town employees and volunteers are special. We are teachers who spend extra time and often their own money to work with students to help them succeed. We are police officers and firefighters who risk their lives to keep us safe.We are conservation managers working to preserve valuable open space and a unique environment for future generations to enjoy. We are public works employees working through the night to keep our roads safe. We are hundreds of dedicated volunteers serving on boards, committees and com- missions in service to our Town. Our employees and volunteers are the backbone of this community. Tonight we honor and give thanks to all of our employees and the hundreds of men and women who give of themselves in so many ways by volunteering their talents and energies to our community. There are so many stories of employees going the extra mile, going beyond that which is expected. But tonight we look at two employees who are unsung heroes,whose commitment is an inspiration to us all.They receive our thanks for their outstanding public service. They are not only outstanding employees, but incredible human beings,who enrich our lives by association.Their names are John Leite and Bob Smith. They are the best at what they do. Ladies and Gentlemen, please join me in recognizing and honoring our very best, Johnny Leite and Bob Smith. FISCAL YEAR 2008: WE'LL BE BUSY NEXT YEAR Ladies and Gentlemen,we'll be busy next year as we introduce a seven point action plan designed to be responsive to your concerns. Our action plan is designed to advance civic engagement, to address traffic congestion, to enhance public safety, to improve coastal 16 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2007 access, to maintain our financial health, to study our form of government and to work with our sister towns and County to address regional needs. COMMUNITY OUTREACH First, we exist to serve our citizens. Our community outreach strategy, under the able supervision of Lynne Poyant and Dan Wood, is more comprehensive than most commu- nities in Massachusetts. We started with a basic website and improved it to the 4th best in the state. We have been told by other communities that we go the extra mile when it comes to civic engagement. But we continue to search for ways to make Barnstable bet- ter. So tonight we propose two new efforts connecting Town Hall to our citizens. Starting next year, we will begin two pilot projects to connect Town Hall to you, provid- ing information that you decide is important to you and your family. The first program will offer you data from storm warnings and evacuation plans in the case of a disaster, to notices of construction in your neighborhood, to instant surveys asking you about issues impacting your village, to cultural and civic events that are of interest to you. You tell us what you are interested in, and we will send the information to you. - The other program includes the installation of interactive informational kiosks, at convenient locations, allowing you to receive important community information and allowing you to videotape a message of concern or a comment of public interest to be sent to the Town Council or Town management electronically. Two new ways to continue to improve communication with your local government. TRAFFIC CONGESTION: WE HAVE A PROBLEM. WE NEED A SOLUTION. Secondly, 90% of our citizens told us in this year's citizens survey that traffic congestion is THE major issue that detracts from our high quality of life in Barnstable. But how have we responded? Route 28 and Route 132 were listed as the worst of our arteries. Unfortunately, proposals in the past, including the hard work of Councilor Rick Barry's Route 132 Vision Committee, have largely been ignored. There are two ways to deal with the issue of traffic and that is to improve road capacity and to manage new growth on our major arteries so that the problem doesn't worsen. We are beginning to see our efforts pay off with some badly needed improvements on Route 132. But it is just that, a beginning. Due to the tenacity of Council President Janet Joakim,we will finally see traf- fic lights on Route 28 in Centerville and several other locations to make our community safer.And we will propose a new package of reforms,using all the tools at our disposal, to address this issue, once and for all. We need performance based zoning and the creation of Districts of Critical Planning Concern to stop bad development and reduce traffic congestion. It's time for us to be more responsive to your concerns. That is why I am announcing tonight that I will forward a package to the Town Council and Cape Cod Commission before the end of this fiscal year to begin the process of addressing your number one concern. PUBLIC SAFETY Thirdly, we are blessed with the leadership, vision and commitment of a new Chief of Police and a reinvigorated Police Department committed to real community policing. The men and women of our police department have done wonders on some of our most challenged neighborhoods, working with Councilors Gary Brown, Greg Milne, Harold Tobey and Jim Munafo, as they continue to refuse to accept the status quo. And Councilor Jim Crocker has been recognized nationally for our new Barnstable Active Safety Information for Child Awareness program designed to protect our children. ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 17 But we are not using technology as much as we could to help us get the job done. That is why I am announcing tonight a pilot program using cameras and other technology to monitor high crime areas, areas used for illegal dumping and dangerous intersections, to assist our Police Department in doing their job. COASTAL ACCESS PLAN Fourth, our town's history is inextricably tied to the ocean and our economy depends on the quality of that tie. That is why I am proposing a major new initiative to improve our collective access to our waterways, a Coastal Access Plan. We have over 125 ways to water. Some are in poor shape, some have been blocked or deemed unusable. Without a comprehensive strategy, many of us no longer have_access to our ocean, lakes and ponds. I will present a supplemental package to the Council soon that improves that access. These include improving the Lewis Bay and Barnstable Harbor boat ramps, making more accessible unique open spaces like Crocker Neck in Cotuit, improving pond access in Marstons Mills and Osterville and improving accessibility to areas like Long Beach in Centerville, and other ways to water. We will also acquire new and better equipment to guarantee cleaner beaches for the enjoyment of our citizens and visitors alike. A THOROUGH REVIEW IS HEALTHY Fifth,we expect to see a ballot question this year asking whether or not to form a Charter Commission. Periodic review and evaluation is a good thing. I support the establishment of a citizens group to review every aspect of our local government, to continue the work of Councilor Crocker's Council Review Committee. Barnstable is unique, with our his- toric and wonderful villages. Our next Charter Commission should not only ask what is good for our town, but also what is good for our villages. People call us a city because we adopted a city charter, but is Marstons Mills a city? Is West Barnstable a city? Is Centerville a city? Is Cotuit a city?Is Osterville a city?Is Barnstable Village a city? No, those six villages combined don't make a city.Hyannis is the city.A comprehensive study of our government must evaluate every aspect of our town to ascertain what type of gov- ernment works best for us all. A REGIONAL APPROACH TO REGIONAL ISSUES Sixth,we will continue to work closely with our County government. We have partnered with the Cape Cod Commission on many issues including our growth incentive zone in Hyannis. We will work with our County Commissioners, the Business Roundtable and the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce on the complex issue of wastewater management. And we will do our part with our County and the other 14 towns to more effectively address the challenge of homelessness. We also look forward to working with our County Commissioners and their staff and with our Assembly of Delegates member Tom Lynch,Speaker Charlotte Streibel and oth- ers, to work on new ways to provide services regionally rather than sepa- rately as 15 individual towns. We are already working together on many fronts. Out Veterans Agent Larry Chase does an extraordinary job coordi- nating veteran's services regionally and our Regulatory Services Department provides weights and measures services to many towns, as well. We have a valued relationship and work closely with Sheriff Jim Cummings, District r Attorney Michael O'Keefe and others, on a host of issues. And we are blessed and well served by community facilities and agencies like the Cape Cod Community College, the Cape Cod Hospital, the Cape Cod and .`. Hyannis Area Chambers of Commerce,our Hyannis Business Improvement IS TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2007 District, Community Action Committee and so many other business, civic and non- profit groups who serve us well. And turning our attention to Boston, we are fortunate to have a legislative delegation that cares so deeply and works so hard for us on Beacon Hill. Our delegation is there for us night and day and we value their service to our community. I would like to ask our delegation to stand so that we can recognize and thank them, Senate President Terry Murray and Senator Rob O'Leary and Representatives Demetrius Atsalis, Matt Patrick and Jeff Perry and our good friend Representative Cleon Turner, from Dennis. THE GOAL OF FINANCIAL STABILITY: OPERATIONAL AUDITING And finally, on the financial front, we not only conduct a comprehensive financial audit every year in Barnstable,but are one of the few communities in Massachusetts conducting annual operational audits, as well. We continue to search for ways to improve our effi- ciency and our effectiveness.There is always room for improvement and every one of our Departments continually search for better ways of running their operations. We have conducted audits this year on our Police Department and will turn our attention next year to the Regulatory Services Department as we continue to look for ways to improve our operations. CONCLUSION Ladies and Gentlemen, Barnstable is a modern, dynamic and thriving community. We are a community facing many challenges that are substantial and complex and our responses must be thoughtful and effective. We recognize that the more informed our citizens are, the stronger our community is.We cannot do it alone. We need engaged and committed citizens who believe that caring is contagious. We encourage you to get involved. Sign up for our newsletter, attend our Leadership Academy, watch our TV programming, volunteer for a committee or commission or call or email our staff with a suggestion or comment. We know that every one of us has some- thing to contribute, to make Barnstable a better place to live. But we also know that we, in government, have a responsibility to lead, as well. Our issues are rarely easy and the answers are often complex and costly. These days, it seems easier to take no action, than to face the barbs and criticisms of those who have no inter- est in making Barnstable better or who benefit from the status quo. We know that inac- tion is not an option. We know that failure is not an option. Our time is growing short in addressing the many challenges we face. But when we're asked to make tough decisions, we must remember the courage and dedication of so many of you who choose to make a difference. We owe it to you to tackle the tough issues. We know that God put us on this earth in a very special place. We are so privileged to call Cape Cod our home.We have witnessed change over the years but we still know that Barnstable is special. We must protect the quality of our coastal areas, manage growth in a way that preserves our uniqueness and we must thoughtfully plan for our future. Barnstable has changed over the years. Now it is OUR time to step up to the plate to ask what we can do to make Barnstable better. We must preserve and protect that which is unique. We must put special interests aside for the common good. Barnstable is a won- derful place. We have a profound responsibility to protect and preserve that wonder. As Stu Peoples, the Morrison Family, Jeri Cullum and Eduardo Maas and Pat Curcio have taught us, each one of us has the capacity to make a difference. So WE must answer the call. One child at a time, one family at a time and one neighborhood at a time.Join us in our efforts to improve our town. Help us make Barnstable better. The time to act is now. Let's start our.journey. Let's join hands. Let's get the job done! THANK YOU. ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 19 a _ rr� a f, s y� { �r n � js �t•. f - 20 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2007 n�'b:. -fix• - �, ��� E' 6:. Toav�r nt DEPARTMENTS, Alm J�4NIA in ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 121 POLICE DEPARTMENT Mission Statement The members of the Barnstable Police Department strive to work in partnership with our com- munity in seeking out and solving problems in order to enhance our quality of life. We are committed to preserving the peace and protecting the lives, property and rights of all our citizens through proactive policing strategies. Quality of life issues pervaded the direction that the department took in FY07 to address the concerns of residents and businesses in all villages served by the Barnstable Police Department. Many of our initiatives and enhancements to already existing programs were in answer to improving quality of life so that all can safely enjoy the many benefits and enjoyments of life in the Town of Barnstable. The Patrol Force is committed to the deterrence of criminal activity, promotion of community-police relations, the detection and apprehension of criminal perpetrators and the maintenance of the safe and orderly flow of traffic. The Patrol Force responds to all 911 calls within the town in addition to providing proactive patrols and activities. The Patrol Force is divided into four watches. The Town of Barnstable has been geographically divided into patrol sectors and manpower is assigned to a sector on the basis of activity. There are currently six sectors to which one or more officers may be assigned. The Fourth Watch (7:00p.m. to 3:00a.m.) was added this year to provide additional resources during the busiest hours of the day. , The Department has also started an innovative program where Administrative.and Detective personnel are assigned to patrol on a periodic basis to augment staffing and to maintain close ties between all segments of the department. The department also made significant progress in its attainment of full accreditation. The department was also reorganized to better serve the residents with efficient and effec- tive service in all areas. New Officers: Keith Sexton, Matt Blondin and Peter Ginnetty were hired as new offi- cers and are currently attending the MPTC Basic Recruit Academy in Plymouth. Communitv Action Response Team (CART): During FY07 it became obvious that one of the major concerns of our residents was the erosion of the quality of life in some neigh- borhoods due to problems such as drug sales, illegal disposal of trash, traffic issues, illegal parking, unregistered motor vehicles and residential overcrowding. In response to these concerns the Barnstable Police Department formed a Community Action Response Team (CART),which has developed a proactive approach in dealing with these problems that compromise quality of life. The CART team is a roving police department comprised of a dedicated team of offi- cers that serve out of a mobile command unit, which is deployed to areas on an as-need- ed basis to provide police presence, community/resident interaction and intervention whenever negative influences challenge our cherished quality of life. The CART has experienced a positive response from residents who have indicated that the team has helped to improve the quality of life in neighborhoods where the team has been deployed. Investigative Services Division: The Investigative Services Division is the largest com- ponent of the Administrative and Investigative Service Bureau. The focus of the Investigative Services Division is the investigation of serious crimes including but not limited to homicides, assaults, sexual assaults, robberies, burglaries, narcotics trafficking, weapons (gun) violations, larcenies, and identity fraud. 22 TOWN Of BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2007 In FY 2007, the Detective Division investigated over 600 cases, which resulted in almost 500 arrests or summons complaints. The Investigative Services Division combines several formally separate but interrelat- ed investigative functions under the supervision of Detective Sergeant Sean Balcom and Detective Sergeant John Murphy. Those functions include a narcotics unit, general investigations unit, youth services office (juvenile detective and 2 school resource offi- cers), arson investigator, sexual assault investigators, and a domestic violence detective. Mountain Bike Unit: The Mountain Bike Unit recently underwent a significant expan- sion as fifteen officers were selected to join the unit. The unit now has a complement of five sergeants and twenty-eight patrol officers. Ten new mountain bikes were purchased. Mountain Bike Officers continue to be deployed around town with the primary focus'on' " the village main streets and at various community events, parades and festivals. False Alarm Reduction Proeram: We have experienced a tremendous reduction in false alarm dispatches since our new Burglar Alarm Regulations were put into place January, 2005. We have just concluded of our first bi-annual alarm registration renewal which registered over 2,200 residential and business alarms to date. The current alarm registra- tion period runs between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2008. Every commercial and residential alarm user was required to renew their alarm registration at the end of 2006 and obtain a new updated decal for'their alarm site. The renewal went smoothly, which we attribute greatly to the new alarm tracking and billing software that was'.purchased in 2006. The software gives the alarm department the ability to track alarm dispatches and maintain current records as well as run sophisticated statistical reports for use in review- ing our alarm reduction efforts. The software also allows us to bill and process the alarm dispatch payments, which had previously been handled by the Consumer Affairs office. _ In 2006 we responded to 1,200 fewer false alarm calls than 2004,resulting in invaluable man-hours,gained for the purposes of fighting crime and community policing initiatives. We are extremely satisfied with these results and look forward to further reducing the number of false alarms in the Town of Barnstable in the years to come. Accreditation: We.are pleased to report that the Barnstable Police Department received two accreditation awards during the past year. In April 2007, the Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission awarded the Department"Certification",based on the results of a two-day on-site inspection of our facilities, policies, procedures and equipment by three MPAC assessors. The Department joins 15 other certified police agencies in Massachusetts. In July 2007, the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, (CALEA)the international law enforcement accreditation body,awarded the Department "Recognition", based on the results of a three-day on-site inspection by a.CALEA asses- sor.Again,the Department's facilities,policies,procedures and equipment were inspected and approved by the assessor. The Barnstable Police Department is the only police agency with CALEA Recognition status in Massachusetts. We are honored to have received these two prestigious awards, and thank the members of the Policy and Accreditation Review Committee (Deputy Chief Craig Tamash, Sgt. Andrew McKenna, Sgt. John Walker, Der. Valerie Hemmila, Ptl. Gretchen Allen, Ptl. Jean Evans, and Records/Property Supervisor Kathleen Hinckley) for their hard work. Special thanks go to Ptl. Ralph Cahoon, the Accreditation Manager, whose diligent efforts have made accreditation possible. ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 23 • The Department continues to move towards full accreditation at the national and state j levels, as we seek to constantly improve the quality of our services through compliance with the profession's highest standards. Hieh School Student Intern Proeram: In addition to an already existing post secondary student intern program, for the first time + Y the department hosted a high school level intern from Cape Cod Academy. The intern fulfilled a requirement to graduate by obtaining 80 hours of intern service. Students are typically interested in a career in law enforcement and the program,provides a broad spectrum of exposure spanning ' == from learning about the budget, to filing and organizing files, to riding along in a cruiser alongside a seasoned police officer, to gyp: participating in training exercises. The department will sponsor two students from Barnstable High School during the 2007/08 school year. i Student Police Academy: The Student Police Academy, under the direction of Officer Reid Hall, was back by popular demand to the degree that Barnstable High School Students added a second class to accommo- date the strong desire for the program. The program strives to provide a detailed over- view of the operations of a police department and what a police officer's job is really like. The course is provided as an elective and grants credit towards high school graduation. TRIAD: The Town of Barnstable TRIAD, a collaborative effort between law enforce- ment, social services and seniors, met on the second Thursday of the month (September through June) at the Barnstable Police Department. The organization supports the dis- tribution of File of Life packets to seniors; publicizing the importance of accurate house numbering; and organizing lectures for seniors on safety issues. The group also assists Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers in registering the patient with the Safe Return registry and in turn with the Barnstable Police Department. On March 7, 2007 the Town of Barnstable Triad sponsored a lecture from MaryLyn Barber, M.S.W. of the Alzheimer's Association of the Cape and Islands. Ms. Barber gave a general overview of Alzheimer's disease and its effects and safety concerns. Anyone interested in registering a loved-one with the Safe Return Registry can call Anne Spillane at 508-778-3806. All calls are confidential. The Town of Barnstable TRIAD has a web page at www.barnstabletriad.org, which provides updates of projects the group is currently working on. .

The Department is committed to making area residents aware of the desirability of a law enforcement career in the Barnstable Police Department, and encourages applications from minority group members and women. The recruitment cycle for the most recent civil service exam was a success with significant increases in the numbers of Barnstable residents applying for the exam. Exam Applicant Totals Barnstable Residents 2005 2007 White Males 35 White Males 59 Black Males 1 Black Males 6 White Females 4 Hispanic Males 1 White Females 5 Am. Ind. Fems. 1 TOTAL 40 TOTAL 72 Citizen's Police Academv: The Citizen's Police Academy graduated.two classes during the year. The course offers "hands-on" opportunities that are a cornerstone of the pro- gram and help participants to become familiar with the various operations of the ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 25 Department. Over 500 citizens have graduated from the program. All instructors at these academies volunteer their time. A highlight this year for graduates of the academy was a special offering of a program entitled "A Day In Court" that enabled participants to meet the people who run the District Court and to learn how the court functions. 150 graduates of the CPA attended this event on November 15th at the County Complex District Court Building in Barnstable Village. Marine Patrol: A marine patrol boat was reinstituted on Lake Wequaquet for the 2007 summer season, which has also been placed, on a part time basis, in Barnstable Harbor. Patrols on the South Side/Hyannis Harbor have also continued, as in previous years. Traffic: The Traffic division was the recipient of a grant through the Governor's Highway Safety Bureau that funded mobilizations to specifically address driving under the influence of alcohol, the seatbelt law and road rage. The division provides accident reconstruction expertise for serious traffic accidents, as well as traffic enforcement. Technoloev Enhancements: The Department has made several significant enhance- ments in technology over the past year. Included in these enhancements was the replace- ment of seven mobile data terminals that have been changed to air-bag compliant termi- nals to improve officer safety. The Department has completely overhauled their E-911 system to increase and expand the uses of E-911. In October of 2006 the Department had two officers federally certified as Digital Evidence Acquisition Specialists at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. Kids Dav: The Barnstable Police Department hosted the loth annual Kids Day. Together with the Town's five fire departments and other police agencies, the Kids Day event was once again a.success. The day's events included both K-9 and SWAT demonstrations as well as many hands-on police and fire department displays. Over 1,400 hot dogs, sodas, and ice creams were handed out and the first 1,100 kids received t-shirts,beach balls,and water bottles. We also had a free raffle where 10 lucky kids won new bicycles and 5 kids won I-Pods. We were also able to hand out 50 new bicycle helmets. The Barnstable Police Department is especially proud of this event because it helps build a bond between the public safety officers and children in our community. Trainine: In 2007 the Barnstable Police Department secured a state grant,which has thus far provided training to 50 officers in the upgrade of the E911 system, with more officers slated to receive the training in the fall. The Barnstable Police Training Unit provided School Intruder training to the staff of each of the public schools within the Town of Barnstable and a "Lock Down" drill was conducted following the staff training. The drills entailed the coordination of the school staff and multiple members of the Police Department.These drills allowed for our Officers to become more familiar with the school facilities within the Town. The Barnstable Police Department hosted a Mountain Bike Class, which resulted in the training of eleven members of the Barnstable Police Department at no tuition cost to the department. This expanded the community oriented policing capabilities of the Barnstable Police Department. Several Detectives were sent to a variety of specialized training to include Managing Informants, Search Warrants, Interview and Interrogation, Cyber Crime Investigation and Narcotics Investigation, enhancing the skills and abilities of the Detective Unit. 26 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2007 Two members of the Barnstable Police SWAT Team attended a one-week basic SWAT class at no tuition expense to the Town as we hosted the class.This training has been used extensively in the months following the training. The Firearms Unit hosted and attended a one day advanced instructor program at no tuition cost to the Town.The Firearms Training unit also received new targets and a mov- ing target system at a substantially reduced cost as the host agency. We currently have three Recruit Officers attending the Plymouth Police Academy. They are scheduled to graduate September 13 and will undergo Field Training for approx- imately four months upon graduation from the academy.

The Department has been effective in meeting the challenge of continual increases in service demands with limited resources. We remain focused on our primary goal when allocating resources for the operational and capital needs of the Department. ADMINISTRATION AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT DIVISION Administration and Technical Support provides efficient, cost-effective and profes- sional quality engineering and survey services in support of capital improvement and other special projects; and advises and provides assistance to Town departments, com- missions, committees, and boards, and to citizens and business interests in the Town. .This Division is divided into three program areas and a survey section. Public Roads Program Using the Pavement Management Program, the visual survey of another 80 miles of pub- lic roads has been completed. The public ways have been surveyed to determine their structural condition. Symptoms like cracking, pot holes, ruts, peeling asphalt, and foun- dation failure are factored into road use components such as width,length,traffic volume, number of lanes, zoning and classification to yield a"Pavement Condition Index"rating between 0 and 100. This system aids in the prioritization of roads for use of the Town's maintenance and capital improvement funds. The Engineering staff is coordinating with the Massachusetts Highway Department on the Route 132 Improvement Project. This project will provide a "gateway" into Hyannis along the corridor from Route 6 to Bearses Way, Hyannis. The staff continues to coordi- nate with MassHighway on the redesign of Rte 28 and Lumberts Mill Road, Rte. 28 and South County Road, and Rte. 28 and Rte. 149. These designs are anticipated to be com- pleted in 2008 with proposed construction in 2009. Our Engineering staff actively par- ticipates in the Hyannis Access Study which is a planning effort underway at the Executive Office of Transportation. The Hyannis Access Study is evaluating options for the Airport Rotary, Yarmouth Road, Rte. 28 east of the Airport Rotary to the Yarmouth town line, and Exit 61/2.

The Department is comprised of six functions: Regulatory Review, Comprehensive Planning, Community Development, Economic Development, Property Management, and Traffic and Parking Management. Organization of the Department is envisioned as a team effort where responsibili- ties and duties are shared between staff, assuring issues are addressed from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Organization Chart Regulatory Review Function Property Comprehensive Management \ / Planning Function Function GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT Economic \ Community Development / Development Function I Function ' Traffic& Parking ` Management Function DESCRIPTION OF THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT Recognizing that addressing issues surrounding growth was a high priority for Town resi- dents, the Town Council in September, 2005 took the bold step of creating the Growth Management Department.The Department's interdisciplinary structure is aimed at break- ing down silos between departments to increase efficiency and productivity. As the Department completes its second year, the wisdom of adopting this innovative approach to address community needs has been reinforced by the Town's receipt of the All-America City Award which recognized the Town's restructuring initative. Two of the three projects highlighted in the successful application,the.downtown Hyannis revitaliza- tion and the Town's Affordable Housing Plan, were the result of collaborative efforts by the sl aff of the Growth Management Department working closely with the Administration, the Town Council, other town departments, civically engaged citizens, business leaders and community groups.

Specifically, the Community Development staff is dedicated to the following programs/issues: the admin- istration of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the preservation and production of affordable housing, and the promotion of local arts and culture activities. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, coordinated by Kathleen Girouard, is a federal grant funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to support community development programs that provide decent affordable housing, suitable living environments, and expands economic development activities for low and moderate income persons. The Town developed a Five-Year Consolidated Plan for the years 2005 — 2009 ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 39 outlining the priorities for the program and has determined affordable housing as the number one priority. Each year the Town develops an Annual Action Plan detailing the programs that will receive funding to meet its five year goals. Upon year end, the Town prepares the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) detailing the accomplishments each year. In FY 2007 the Town received CDBG Funds in the amount of$361,963 which were allocated to the following programs: Accessory Affordable Apartment Program (AAAP), ADA/Handicap Accessibility Program (ADA), Affordable Housing Program (AHP), and Historic Preservation. Accomplishments: • There were twenty-one (21) affordable housing units permitted through the Accessory Affordable Apartment (AAAP) program in this fiscal year. Four (4) additional affordable rental housing units are underway by way of the Affordable Housing Program (AHP), three of which will be acquired through a partnership with the Barnstable Housing Authority that will benefit households at or below sixty-five (65%) of the area median income. This partnership has expanded as the result of the inclusionary zoning ordinance that requires provi- sions for affordable housing in certain developments. The fourth unit was acquired by the Town of Barnstable with the intent of renovating to accommo- date up to seven(7)units for low and moderate income persons under 80%of the area median income. While in the process of securing funds for the renovations, the Town will rent to a low income person in the interim. A tenant has been selected using fair housing standards and is expected to occupy the unit in September. • ADA/Handicap Accessibility (ADA) Improvements to ensure access to decent affordable housing: ADA/Handicap Accessibility(ADA)renovations were made to a home acquired by CapeAbilities for use as a group home offering housing and 24-hour care for disabled individuals.

Affordable Housing Affordable housing is one of the most important issues currently facing the Town of Barnstable and its residents. Studies have consistently shown that in recent years a lack of affordable housing is a major, prohibitive factor for talented workers to stay and/or locate in the area. Community Development staff, together with the Barnstable Housing Committee, is dedicated to encouraging and facilitating the production of new affordable housing and the preservation of existing affordable housing throughout the Town of Barnstable. Accomplishments: During FY 2007, the Town of Barnstable permitted affordable housing units through a combination of the Accessory Affordable Apartment Program, the Inclusionary Zoning ordinance, the Chapter 40B Comprehensive Permit process, and the PIAHD special per- mit process. The most recent update of the state's subsidized housing inventory puts the Town's percentage of affordable housing at 6.6%. A total of 75 affordable housing units were permitted in Barnstable in FY 2007, broken down as follows: • 41 affordable housing units were permitted through the Chapter 40B Comprehensive Permit process. This includes 28 affordable family rental units and 12 affordable senior rental units on town-owned land in West Barnstable, and one unit in Hyannis. • Seven affordable condominium units were permitted through the Town's . Inclusionary Zoning ordinance. • Six affordable single family homes in Hyannis were permitted through the PIAHD Special Permit process. • Finally, twenty one affordable units were permitted through the Town's Accessory Affordable Apartment Program. The Town also completed pre-engineering and environmental evaluations of three town owned parcels in Osterville to determine the capacity—to develop affordable housing on .the sites. Requests for proposals are being prepared to develop the housing. In addition, the Community Development staff has secured $25,000 in state Priority Development Fund monies to fund preliminary architectural designs for up to seven affordable artist living spaces on Pearl Street in Hyannis. r• i. , �a`4 air lw - .

The program encourages the } use of existing housing to create safe, decent and affordable units which must be reLiLeLI Lu LerYarltS whosC mcnmc ,;le;;than 80°jo of the ' �, , area median incomc Since 7001, a toml of 158 units have been added u Wry« ri ii imii(mi .°.' to the 1wn's Subsidized Housing Inventory as a icsult of the Accessory Affordable A artment Program. The program is funded b Y P' g P g Y the Town's Community Development Block Grant. Property owners are eligible to receive a reimbursement of up to$5,000 for any work required to bring the. unit up to state building and sanitary codes. In order for a single family property to be eligible for the program, it must be owner- occupied and contain either an unpermitted unit,which existed prior to January 1, 2000, or the owner may create a new unit within an existing structure. Multi-family properties must be legally permitted as a multi-family dwelling,but contain one or more units above the number permitted. In FY07, nine public hearings were held before the Zoning Board of Appeals Hearing Officer, Gail Nightingale. After a careful review of each application, twenty-one proper- ties were issued comprehensive permits. Four permits were issued for the construction of new accessory units attached to.a single-family dwelling and the remaining apartments were granted"amnesty" as pre-existing units. Four comprehensive permits that were pre- viously granted were rescinded due to the properties being sold. The units created were dispersed throughout the seven villages as follows: Hyannis 11 Centerville 5 Marstons Mills 2 Cotuit 1 Osterville 1 West Barnstable 1 Barnstable 0 Units created through the Accessory Affordable Apartment program must be rented on a fair and open basis and each newly created unit is listed for rent with the Barnstable Housing Authority and Housing Assistance Corporation. All of the properties in the program are monitored annually to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of the comprehensive permit. Property owners are required to submit verification that their unit is rented to an income eligible tenant as well as a twelve-month lease. Currently, the maximum monthly rent,including utilities,for a studio apartment is$878,a one-bedroom apartment is$1,004,and a two-bedroom is$1,129. In order to be eligible to rent an acces sory apartment a single person must have an annual income below$40,150.

The Community Development staff secured grant funding through the Massachusetts Cultural Council's Adams Arts Program and the Barnstable Economic Development Council to support a full-time arts and culture staff person. Elizabeth Dillen, the staff person oversaw several exciting visual and performing arts initiatives during FY 2007, including a highly successful season of the Harbor Your Arts Artist Shanties on Bismore Park and an expansion of the Free Summer Performing Arts Series on Aselton Park. Harbor Your Arts Artist Shanties on Bismore Park z, The Harbor Your Arts (HyA) Artist Shanty Program on Bismore Park , " began in 2005, and dem- onstrated the Town's commitment to arts and ; culture in downtown Hyannis. The Program r was very well received by - j Cape residents, visitors, and the arts and culture _ community. _- In FY 2007,the Program F. y " was expanded to host w both new and returning artists for a total of 15 local,juried artists from late May through September 30, 2006. In addition, partnering with the Arts Foundation. of Cape Cod (AFCC), the Guyer Barn Gallery & Arts Center, Cape Cod Art Association (CCAA), the Hyannis Area Chamber of Commerce (I-IACC), and the Hyannis Main Street Business Improvement District (BID), and collaborat- ing with the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce has proven success that secured grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council John & Abigail. Adams Grant program,the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, and the Barnstable County Regional Economic Development grant. This partnership also contributed by developing and hosting a website detailing the program which can be viewed at www.harbo- ryourarts.com.The link to the artists'shanties introduces you to the artists,their work, and this beautiful area to enjoy fine local artworks. Aselton Park - Performing Arts After securing grant funds through the Massachusetts Cultural Council's John and Abigail Adams Grant,the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod,and the Barnstable County Regional Economic Development Partnership Grant, the Town expand- ed the Harbor Your Arts Program in FY 2007 to include the performing arts. Community Development staff oversaw the design and construction of a sea- sonal performing arts venue at Aselton Park, a beautiful, under-utilized water- front location on Hyannis Harbor. The staff then coordinated with various local ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 43 performing artists and organizations to implement the First Annual Harbor Your Arts Free Summer Performing Arts Series. The series provides free, family- friendly theater and music performances each week throughout the summer. Citizens Bank and the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod generously sponsored the weekly Citizens Bank Summer Concerts on the Harbor Series. The performing arts venue and series have been widely acclaimed as a welcome addition to Hyannis Harbor, and will likely be expanded to include more perfor- mances next season. • Public Art Installations The Town has also actively pursued and initiated the installa- tion of various public art pieces in the downtown and waterfront areas of Hyannis. • Buoyed Coasts In the summer of 2006, the Town constructed a public art instal- lation at Aselton Park that is visible from both Ocean and South Streets.The Town developed the concept for this tempo- rary art installation with its citizens during two public art char- rettes, where community input was gathered in Spring of 2006. The purpose of BUOYED Coasts is two fold. First, the project helps to draw attention to the waterfront by creating a whimsi- cal display of color,light and kinetic motion on Hyannis Harbor. Second, the project highlights a pressing need for each visitor and resident to consider how their day-to-day actions affect water quality.The Town of Barnstable has been a leader in mak- ing changes to improve water quality by planning for future growth of the Town. Through planning and expansion of the Town sewer system and concentrating new growth where sewers already exist, the Town of Barnstable leads this effort Cape- wide. TOWN OF BARNSTABLE r- DRAFT MASSACHUSETTS WRYS TO WATER DRAFT 01 Mbv M IM �, aroxo . m r DRAFT LM 44 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2007 PROPERTY MANAGEMENT With the Property Management function under the direction of Lindsey B. Counsell and with the assistance of Alisha Parker well under way, several key projects were undertaken. As a priority of the Town Manager, the Ways ` to Water project, which began last year, is moving towards the goal of com- pletion. Many steps were involved in reaching conclusions for these varied gas ways to water including deed and title research, on-site surveys, department collaboration, identifying and mapping, planning and design, handling public inquiries and requests and the creation of a database that will house all of this detailed information.. The Department was assisted by intern Eunkyo Choi, who began inputting information and photos into the newly created database. The user friendly database will be available to the public upon completion. Currently, a map of 75 Ways to Water in the Town of Barnstable is posted on•the Town's website which can be found under the Property Management page displaying locations, types and allowed uses. The map shows a partial list and additional access areas will be added as research is completed. A first step in maintaining these access areas, Property Management Coordinator Alisha Parker organized the Shallow Pond Clean-up Project. Shallow Pond in Centerville is a beautiful area that residents and visitors alike can enjoy for passive recreation and fishing.The Town's staff was accompanied by nine members of the AmeriCorps Volunteer group lead by Shane Jordan and Jeff Sawicki, a volunteer from EMS who wholeheartedly joined in on our efforts to clean the area around the pond. The area had been a dumping ground for many years. White goods (refrigerators and stoves), tires,furniture,and an' old truck bed, to name a few, were removed from the site in a single day. The Property Management Coordinator also analyzed properties identified for possible town acquisition and also reviewed existing town properties that have not been assigned to any town department to determine their most desirable use. TRAFFIC AND PARKING The Traffic and Parking Program, under the direction of engineer, Stephen Seymour, was initiated in September of 2005. Current and Ongoing Projects: • The state funded Hyannis Access Study is underway. This study will evaluate alternatives to improve traffic flow and access to Hyannis. • Plans are underway to replace the old obsolete parking meters in the Hyannis Harbor area in time for the spring 2008 season and replace with a new "Pay and Display" meter system that will accept coins and credit cards. • Engineering review of site plans,regulatory agreements, and subdivision plans, as well as the coordination of subdivision inspections. Major Accomplishments: • Preparation and management of state grants to improve the Town's infrastruc- ture. • An Urban Self Help Grant was awarded to the Town in the amount of $500,000 for the construction of a Harbormaster/Visitor Center at Bismore Park. ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 45 • Management of a street and sidewalk lighting study for the Hyannis and Harbor area. • Completion of a conceptual landscape design for the Route 132 corridor from Route 6 to Bearse's Way. •' Managed the $1,000,000 Community Development Action Grant (CDAG), which included monies used for the installation of a park at 725 Main Street, the site of a former abandoned gas station.

PROGRAMS There are three distinct sections within the Building Division:Technical,Administrative, and Special Projects. Each is defined by general discipline but there is obviously an over- lap and integration of services within all sections. The administration staff are respon- sible for communicating, coordinating and supporting the inspectors. Both residential and commercial projects must undergo a comprehensive inspection process. This process can be achieved with as little as one inspection for the simplest project or as many as fifty inspections for the larger, more complex projects, such as Southside Village or the Cape Cod Hospital. The Massachusetts State Building Code also mandates periodic inspections of certain public buildings such as hotels, motels, restaurants, churches, day-care centers and schools, among others. The frequency ranges from twice a year to every five years with most inspections.being called for yearly. A separate database is maintained to track all the buildings and inspections. Often the inspectors may have to alert other disciplines, divisions and departments of potential hazards,violations or liabilities to the public. This division will also assist during disaster occurrences, such as hurricanes and other types of disasters. FY 2007MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS 1. Completion of Mugar Bed at Cape Cod Hospital 2.

With the implementation of the Growth Incentive Zone, enacted by the Town Council last year, the projects that have taken advantage of this development tool are now in full construction.' In response to concerns from many of the Town's villages this division in co-operation with the Police Department, fire services, and Health Division have been conducting evening and weekend inspections in many neighborhoods,in order to control some of the over-crowding issues that have affected the neighborhoods. These inspections ascertain whether the areas individuals are sleeping in are safe, fire alarm systems are functioning, and the proper number of persons are living in the house. These efforts have succeeded due to the effort of all personnel involved. The Cape Cod Hospital Campus Project,with the exception of two patient floor build- outs, has been completed. When this tower is complete work can then begin on the conversion of some of the existing patient areas to administrative and support services. Residential additions, upgrades, and tear downs—rebuilds have maintained the course of the past few years as to activity. This has been the driving force for activity for this division with new house construction, while not very active, remaining consistent with previous years. This department conducted over 25,587 inspections and more than 14,000 citizens were assisted by members of our staff at the counter at 200 Main Street. We also con- ducted 81 site plan review hearings in FY 2007. The staff of this division needs to again be commended and thanked for another year of hard and consistent efforts to make sure that those who live and visit this community will have a pleasurable experience. tr —" S :. pig �u i ,�,;F � i� R y� � i �u Nii ,• o v e. a ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 49 BUILDING PERMITS 2006 2007 Residential New Dwellings 73 67 Additions/Alterations 607 722 Decks, re-roof, 768 1,126 Reside Pools 50 50 Accessory Structure 132 126 Misc.

To provide aid and assitance to Veterans by untilzing the Federal and State money and other alternative sources of income and services, while protecting the Town's assets for those benefits that have no other source to draw from. The successful lobbying of the Department of Veterans "Affairs for VA Clinics and VA Centers has proven to be very beneficial. However, it has caused us to become so much busier this year from the referrals from those clinics and centers that we helped obtain. During this year in the Town of Barnstable we obtained VA cash benefits for 854 Veterans or their dependents in the amount of$7,165,746 and we have over 200 cases.pending approval in one stage or another. We have worked very closely with the VA in helping Veterans enroll in the VA Health Care system to take advantage of the low cost health care and prescription program. By taking advantage of this program it saves the Town and Veterans of the Town hundreds of dollars. On a local level we aided over 225 Veterans financially with the expenditure of over $175,000 of the Town's money to assist the Veterans who are out of work due to no fault of their own. We have tried to become the one-stop center to aid and assist Veterans on all levels, so that they may enjoy a quality of life, while receiving the benefits needed to provide that quality of life. I encourage all Veterans or their dependents to contact our office to see if they are entitled to any of the benefits that the VA, State and local governments provide. Call us at 888- 778-8701/508-778-8740 or stop in to our Hyannis office at 66 Falmouth Road (First Citizens Federal Credit Union Building), Hyannis. In Service to Veterans, Sidney L.

Receipts collected are paid over to the Town Treasurer, the five Fire District Treasurers, and the Hyannis Main Street Business Improvement District (BID) weekly with appropriate accounting reports. Each year there is a tax taking for unpaid real estate taxes. Legal documents are prepared for bet- terment discharges and municipal lien certificates. The Town Collector's Office has two primary functions: Customer Service Activity: This activity involves providing information to taxpayers, mortgage companies,attorneys,and the general public by telephone and in the Collector's Office regarding all tax accounts and providing general information relating to the Town of Barnstable. Another facet is the preparation of municipal lien certificates showing the status of real estate taxes for banks, attorneys, and taxpayers when property is sold or refinanced. In fiscal year 2007, 2,827 municipal lien certificates were produced. Certificates of discharge are prepared when road,sewer, water,Title V Septic betterments are paid in full so the betterment lien can be removed from the deed at the Registry of Deeds. In fiscal 2007, 102 certificates of discharge were processed. Billing and Collection Activity: This activity centers on the timely collection of 28,000 real estate bills and 7,000 personal property tax bills. After many years of semi-annual tax billing, the Town of Barnstable adopted quarterly tax billings starting fiscal 2006. Quarterly tax billing will provide a more even cash flow for the Town and increased earn- ings. Real estate and personal property preliminary bills for fiscal 2007 were issued July 1, 2006 with payments due August 1, 2006 and November 1, 2006. There was a delay in establishing the new assessments and tax rate so a third quarter preliminary bill was issued with a due date of February 26, 2007. Actual fiscal 2007 bills were issued April 13th with a due date of May 13, 2007. Motor vehicle excise bills are mailed at various times based on information supplied by the Registry of Motor Vehicles. The first commitment of excise in 2007 (44,590) was mailed February 23, 2007. Demand bills for various unpaid taxes are issued as needed throughout the fiscal year. Many other bills are processed such as quarterly sewer usage bills, sewer, road, water and septic betterments, boat excise, and BID assessments. Deposits are made on a daily basis and pay overs to the Town and Fire District Treasurers weekly. Payovers are processed for the Hyannis Main Street Business Improvement District. Accounts receivables are reconciled with the Finance Department monthly. FY 2007 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS • Processed 4,600 fiscal 2007 personal property refunds due to lower assessments on the actual FY07 bills in June 2007. • The tax taking for unpaid fiscal 2004 real estate bills was completed on March 30, 2007 resulting in 27 liens, another record low number. • Processed the second year of quarterly real estate and personal property tax bills with preliminary tax bills due August 1st,November lst, preliminary third quarter due February 23, 2007 and actual tax bill due May 13, 2007. 1021 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2007 FY 2008 GOALS Short Term • Continue to educate residents and taxpayers on new quarterly tax billing. • Continue to use technology to keep pace with increased work load within budget constraints. Long Term • Increase the use of technology to process tax bills resulting in improved cash flow to Treasurer, added interest earnings, and excellent collection rates. • Educate taxpayers on real estate and personal property quarterly tax bills. • Educate taxpayers to use the Town's website to make electronic tax payments for real estate, personal property, and excise bills.

In addition, the contract compliance officer in this office ensures compliance with minority and women owned business participation requirements associated with any construction projects that include state funding. Under the Risk Management efforts, we also provide direction and expertise in Property, Casualty, Liability and Specialty insurance coverage to all of the municipal segments. Finally, this office continues to support the property management function through par- ticipation in land disposition or acquisition, and we handle tenant management for over 50 municipal leases. Procurement With the ongoing successful consolidation of the School Business Office into the Town Finance office, the activity associated with school procurement continues to increase. By offering support which bids, contract generation, sourcing information, and access to State Contracts, funds are spent in the most cost effective means possible. The staff also ensures the Town's compliance with the complicated and extensive Purchasing laws and regulations of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The highlight of accomplishments by the Purchasing Agent this year includes the suc- cessful roll out.of the Procurement Bid/RFP website. Located on the Town of Barnstable Home page, people may now access, track and download all bids and RFPs electronically. Registering to review a bid online also allows the Town to send notices, addenda and information about specific bids to those individuals. This effort to enhance access to the Town bids has resulted in greater competition and savings in postage and paper costs. Key municipal projects accomplished this year include the selecting of a contractor for the Hyannis Youth and Community Center and working to pre-qualify the dozens of potential prime and sub-contractors that are interested in working on the project; sup- porting the procurement efforts associated with the design of the new Airport terminal at Barnstable Municipal Airport; a number of smaller building upgrades to municipal build- ings including bids for septic system upgrades and roofs. We provided procurement assis- tance on a number of school projects including the roof at the Barnstable Horace Mann Charter School (Grade 5/6 school), the selection of an on call architect/designer to assist School Maintenance and painting projects. Procurement Outreach The Purchasing Agent lead the effort to hold a training session open to area businesses interested in doing business with the Town, County and the State. Officials from the State, County and Town offices were on hand to meet over 60 business representatives and provide information on procurement opportunities. Risk Management The complicated renewal of the Town and School insurance policies posed new chal- lenges this past fiscal year, as several new insurance underwriters were incorporated in to the blanket of coverage the Town seeks annually. As in past years, factors including the number and severity of losses over the previous year had impacts on the premium the Town paid for its insurance. Hurricane threats predicted for the Cape Cod region again this year made the insuring of Municipal assets more complicated and more expensive. 1301 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2007 With fewer and fewer insurance companies willing to even consider the tremendous dollar volume of assets the Town and Schools hold and use, the renewal.process involves greater documentation and creativity with each passing year. 1. However, through hard work and thorough asset listing, we have been able to hold insurance premiums relatively flat for the third year in a row after seeing double digit increases in ._ each of the previous three years renewals. This function focuses its efforts into two distinct areas. The � primary task is list, insure and protect Town assets. This includes hard assets like equipment and buildings as well as real property or land. In addition, we are tasked with the identification of liability and risk for elected officials,employ- ees, volunteers, students and visitors. The careful selection of insurance coverage to minimize the chance of catastrophic losses to people and assets continues to be more complex each r year as the value of the assets and the exposure to risk grows ., annually. The responsibilities under this heading also include K i specialty insurance policies for the Airport and Police,student athlete insurance for the schools and a full coverage workers compensation policy. ` As in years past, PRM continues to be actively involved in easing and selling property,maintainmg an accurate inventory, and making sure that town-owned assets are properly insured. With the transition of the front line functions to.the Growth Management Department, the role for us has evolved into a support role,but it is one that still requires extensive documentation of lease and rent payments as well as a careful understanding of property issues facing the Town. Respectfully submitted, _ David W. Anthony Chief Procurement Officer TREASURY OPERATIONS The Treasurer is responsible for the receipt and stewardship of all Town funds and for ensuring payment of the Town's bills to its creditors and payroll checks to all employees. The Treasurer's duties also include prudent investment of the Town's funds and arranging financing for capital projects through the issuance of bonds. In this regard,one of the most exciting developments of the year,for me,was the Town's bond rating upgrade to AAA. Barnstable is the first town on the Cape to receive this distinction and one of only nine of 351 Massachusetts communities to earn the strongest credit rating possible. The bond-rating system is what investors use to assess risk when deciding to whom they will lend money. Associated with this rating by Standard & Poor's rating agency was a $73,814,000 Lwerity-year bond—the largest issuance in Barnstable's history. This bond was negotiated for an average interest rate of 3.979% with an average life of 8.79 years. It is comprised of ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 131 $35,713,000 in new money bonds and $38,101,000 in refunding bonds. The rating and refunding saved over$2 million dollars in debt service costs. Proceeds from new money bonds will be used to finance local acquisition and construc- tion costs for water, school, a new Hyannis Youth &Community Center, golf and other capital purposes. The balance is to refund$970,000 bonds originally issued June 15, 1997 for surface drains, building construction and public ways, $28,465,000 bonds originally issued March 15, 1999 for high school construction, surface drains and senior center con- struction and $8,500,000 bonds originally issued February 15, 2000 for middle school construction and dredging purposes. The bonds were sold without insurance for an additional savings of nearly$200,000 due to the strength of the Town's credit. Standard & Poor's sighted the Town's strong financial performance, sound fiscal management, moderate debt burden and manageable capital needs as positive credit factors. Fiscal year's 2007 debt service payments totaled $15,108,147.75. The principal and interest payments were for a variety of projects including, but not limited to, school remodeling,roads&sidewalk construction,dredging,rink improvements and land acqui- sition for the newly acquired Hyannis golf course. My office, with coordination and cooperation of the Human Resource Division and School Superintendent's office, continually strive to improve payroll functions since the consolidation of town and school finance operations in 2005. The production of pay- checks for 2,400 employees,through a weekly and biweekly payroll involves the coordina- tion and direction of data entry of over fifty town and school departments. It is Town policy to invest all available funds in conformance with legal and administra- tive guidelines and to maximize income while minimizing risk. My goal is to secure the highest yield possible within those constraints. Effective cash management is recognized as essential to good fiscal management. I have maintained an aggressive cash manage- ment policy and secured prudent investment options to take advantage of interest and earnings as a viable revenue source. While maintaining a highly diversified investment portfolio with numerous banks and other financial institutions investment earnings were increased by $2,332,585.67 or 55% over fiscal year 2006. As of the close of fiscal year 2007, these representatives numbered thirteen with a balance of$96,580,728.33. Under the direction of the Town Manager and with input from the Trust Fund Advisory Committee, the Treasurer also oversees the investment of the Town's trust fund accounts. We currently have custodianship of thirty-two trust funds with a balance of$19,002,624.75. Each trust fund has a distinct purpose and, therefore, the mix of holdings in cash, fixed income securities and equities varies by fund. The amount of annual income required and the time of disbursements generally govern this mix. This year, for example, $301 was taken from the Lovell fund to purchase clothing for three children in need, a $1,500 scholarship was awarded to a Barnstable High School student from the Doris E. Harlow Cosmetology fund and$10,000 was disbursed from the Lyndon Paul Lorusso fund to award twenty-six scholarships of various amounts to high school students pursuing continuing education. I would like to express my appreciation to the staff within the Treasurer's office: Ruthanne Baker,Theresa Boggi and Pamela Taylor and to Finance Director, Mark Milne and Assistant Treasurer, Gareth Markwell. Without their hard work and dedication, the advances this office has made in the past year would not have been possible. Respectfully submitted, x. Debra M.

It is a distinct pleasure to begin this next period with the professional team that closed its predecessor: Claire R. Griffen, Legal Assistant; David Houghton, Esq., First Assistant Town Attorney; Charles S. McLaughlin, Jr., Esq. Assistant Town Attorney; and Pamela Gordon, Legal Clerk. Attorney Ruth Weil, who served with great distinction, contin- ues in her capacity as Director of Growth Management. With respect to the nature of the work over the past year, it has been a year of continu- ation. The suit to nullify the Barnstable Water Company acquisition was dismissed in the Supreme Judicial Court. Our office was privileged to be able to assist in the cre- ation of the Zion Union Heritage Museum before the close of this year. The museum will soon contain a priceless collection of the rich history of the Cape Verdean and African American community of Barnstable for future generations to admire and from which to learn. As the exciting re-birth of downtown Hyannis continues, we were actively involved in the acquisition of two properties on Pearl Street that will provide studios, display space, and much needed affordable housing to the arts community as an economic draw to downtown. We also assisted with the reacquisition of the Hyannis National Guard Armory that is now under consideration for a cultural arts center. � J y Respectfully submitted, $ .tM 4 Robert D.

In fulfilling this role, Human Resources provides a number of services and func- tions. RECRUITMENT: The Town of Barnstable is committed to attracting, maintaining and , €lj retaining a diverse, knowledgeable and effective workforce. In FY 2007, Human Resources processed approximately 1,191 applications to fill 162 positions. This represents a 27% decrease in applications and a 2% , decrease in positions over FY 2006. This does not include 600+ sea- . ' sonal positions in the Recreation Department or positions within the School Department. Partnering with the Town Clerks's Office, Human Resource's imple- ` mented an electronic document management system that is currently being used to store and process applications and related hiring docu- ments. Over the next fiscal year, this system will be expanded to other J aspects of the Human Resources operation. , TRAINING: The Human Resources Department continued its ongoing commitment to training. In September, Human Resources partnered with the Department of Public Works to host training on OSHA and related safety issues. The training was both well attended and well received. Following up on the training there was a session on dig-safe in March. A Wellness Fair was held in January. This one-day, annual event sponsored by Barnstable County gives employees the opportunity to 4 receive a computerized health assessment and gain knowledge ons , healthy living and eating. The assessment includes cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose screenings, smoking cessation, stress management, and a cooking demonstration. The annual Town Benefits fair was held on April 4th. This event ? begins the annual open enrollment period and allows employees and retirees to meet with vendors and the Town Benefits Administrator one- i K on-one to discuss existing benefit coverage, new benefits, and changing their benefit coverage. LABOR/EMPLOYEE RELATIONS: % The Director participated in mediation and conflict resolution, i ion contract negotiation and interpretation, grievance processing and hos- tile work environment issues. Additionally, Lhe Director mediated ' numerous employee/management issues and iepieScnt.ed Lhe Town at several hearings, mediation sessions and arbitration cases during the fiscal year. Human Resources continued to work closely with the Town Manager's Office and other Departments to develop innovative ways to reward the Town's employees. In December 64 employees were recognized for their years of service with the Town. ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 137 Also six employees who retired during the year received special recogni- tion. December also saw the in7plemcntation of the long awaited employee ,. handbook.

WORKERS COMPENSA110N: In Fiscal Year 2007, Human Resources received and processed 125 reports of work-related injuries for all departments including the School w ' = Department, 20 of which resulted in lost time. Human Resources' goal is to create a safer workplace leading to a decrease in absenteeism, increased loss of productivity, and increased employee morale. The department has taken pro-active steps to educate employees and managers in injury reduction and prevention by conducting training sessions for both supervisors and employees regarding workers compensation and safety, as well as training provided through MEGA the Town's Workers Compensation insurance carrier. These efforts have resulted in an 18% reduction in reported injuries from the previous fiscal year. -�� '"�- '�4 UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS: ,�� k During FY 2007, the department processed and paid unemployment VVY1`"17 (hLSGt��2 �; claims which cost the town $196,935.88.

Major Accomplishments in Fiscal Year 2007: , • Introduced streaming video of CH-18 live from the website. • Converted 6+ months of videos for Video on Demand available from the website. • Major modifications to the Tax Billing/Collections system to handle �' •_ the split rate and residential exemption. • Developed Customer Relations Management application and began rolling out to departments. • Connected off-site Town buildings to Town Hall using wireless technology replacing costly leased lines. .. • Implemented a new Permitting System. • Upgraded four servers to new hardware. • Implemented a real time parcel/roads database system for internal use. ' ~ • Implemented emailing of direct deposit payroll confirmations • Began the Licensing process with Verizon for pole rights for the I-Net. • Completed major software migration to a new GIS software platform. This move will expand our GIS capabilities, improve the functionality of the GIS maps on the website, provide better support and training �� k resources, and enable us to better coordinate and share data with other towns and agencies in the region. E • Redesigned the interactive parcel mapping application on the Town's website improving functionality and ease of use. • Completed the integration of data from the 2001 aerial flyover into the GIS database The Information Technology Department continued with the I-NET (Institutional net- work) plans throughout fiscal 2007. We began the official licensing process with the utilities (NSTAR, Verizon and Comcast) which required a walking survey of 1,640 tele- phonP.poles over approximately 65 miles.of road. Each pole had Lu be measured and the placement of each of the utilities wires recorded. This was a lengthy process, but necessary to determine where work needs to be done in order to fit the Town's fiber optic cable on the poles. When completed, this fiber optic cable will connect 58 Town locations and allow high speed data and video services to virtually all Town and school locations. We are now in the process of determining the costs involved and working with the utilities to make sure the costs are fair to the Town. This project once com- pleted, funded from non-tax related monies, will benefit the Town and schools for decades to come. % I would like to take the opportunity to thank the Information Technology staff for all their hard work and dedication throughout the past year. s!

ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 141 BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS BARNSTABLE DISABILITY COMMISSION The Disability Commission is an advisory committee to the Town and was formed to research local problems of people with disabilities; advise and assist municipal officials and employees in ensuring Town compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as enforced by the United States Department of Justice and the Massachusetts Office on Disability. The Commission is to coordinate or carry out programs designed to meet the problems of citizens with disabilities, review and make recommendations about policies, procedures, services, activities and facilities within the Town as they would affect people with disabilities. The Commission may draft rules and regulations concern- ing disabled persons' needs and issues, for adoption by the Town Manager and Town Council. The Commission may receive gifts of property, both real and personal, in the name of the Town,subject to the approval of the Town Manager,such gifts are to be managed and controlled by the Commission for the benefit of persons with disabilities. In 2007, the Commission awarded four $1,000 scholarships. Two were given to Barnstable High School graduates,and one to a senior at Sturgis High School. A student in the Project Forward Program at Cape Cod Community College was awarded the fourth scholarship. We have also contributed funds for the building of a ramp at the Kennedy Skating Rink. This ramp will allow disabled individuals to attend functions at this facil- ity and can be moved for use at other locations. The Commission, with the help of committee volunteers, completes ADA surveys of our schools, beaches, town buildings, and facilities within the Town.. The results of these surveys improve access to these very important areas and help protect the Town from ADA complaints and civil actions against the Town. The Barnstable Disability Commission made a commitment to make all our buildings and beaches accessible to the disabled and easier on our mobility impaired Barnstable citizens. We continue to work with the School Department,Recreation Department and DPW Structures and Grounds Departments to identify and correct accessibility prob- lems.

Its nine (9) members are appointed by Town Council. The BEDC,working cooperatively with other Town agencies and committees,establishes methods to increase job opportunities with sustainable wages for residents of the Town of Barnstable, assists existing businesses in their changing needs, and encourages and assists businesses to- locate to the Town in a manner consistent with the local comprehensive plan (LCP). In order to attract substantial investment in the Town, the Commission's focus is to create an environment conducive to economic development and redevelopment. BEDC brings private sector expertise,public sector support and volunteer business organizations together to develop and carry out specific plans and projects. In addition BEDC assists in developing the economic sections of Town Council's Strategic Plan and the Town's Local Comprehensive Plan (LCP) and in implementing those strategies and policies. With the objective of implementing the aspects of the foregoing, the BEDC accom- plished the following: • Working with the Growth Management Department, determine types of business that would attract people to the downtown area of Hyannis and how we can best assist those businesses in the downtown area so that they can grow and prosper. The information gathering process entails a survey for businesses, and a business inventory of the properties located within the Growth Incentive Zone (GIZ). The business inventory and merchant survey are currently underway. We anticipate the results will guide us as we implement the Business Development Strategy. • Presented a resolution to Town Council presenting the commission's reasoning for supporting the tax rate at a Factor of One and the Residential Exemption, both of which were adopted by Town Council on February 15, 2007. • Worked diligently on updating the Economic Development Sections of the Local Comprehensive Plan (LCP). • Supported the increasing activity over the year to.strengthen the creative economy in the Town of Barnstable. This includes the Harbor Your Arts and other initiatives by the Town and representation on the Performing Arts Center Committee. Provided written letters of support to the Harbor Your Arts initiatives that resulted in securing grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC), the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod (AFCC), and the Regional Economic Development Pilot Program (REDPP) from Barnstable County. • Participated in the meeting of the Chairs for Commissions and Boards to further strengthen alliances. The BEDC hosted or attended a number of stimulating presentations in its ongoing efforts to strengthen its knowledge base concerning economic development activities. These included: • Economic Development Sections of the LCP—Jo Anne Miller Buntich • Economic Development Initiative Programs (EDIP) and State Resources for Economic Development Tools—Gay Wells, Regional Director of Business Development from Massachusetts Development. • Proposition 2 1/2 and Tax Levy Options—Jeff Rudziak, Town Assessor • Growth Incentive Zone &Developing a Business Development Strategy— Leslie Richardson, Economic Development Officer, Cape Cod Commission. 1441 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2007 • The Senate Job Growth Initiative— State Senate President Theresa Murray The BEDC meets the second Tuesday of every month at 8 x am in the Selectmen's Conference Room unless otherwise r . posted. Appointments to the committee are made by the Town Council. Members for FY07 included: = � Lois Andre, Chairman Jeannine Marshall, Vice Chairmany Chris Kehoe Debra Krau Lou Gonzaga Howard Penn Royden Richardson Phil Scudder Steve Shuman We would like to add a particular thanks to Hank Farnham,Town Councilor, Precinct 11, for his continuing interest in supporting an effective economic development initiative with the Town. FY07 was a year of transition as we said goodbye to long time members Steven Shuman and Philip Scudder. We wish them well in their work in other capacities for the Town and the Cape at large. The Economic Development Commission, as an advisory commit- tee to the Town Council, is of advisement to the Growth Management Department, under the direction of Ruth Weil. Kathleen Girouard, Community.and Economic Development Coordinator, provides staff support. We anticipate a very busy 2007-2008 and look forward to the many things we can do to assist economic growth in the Town of Barnstable. A Lois Andre Chairman = P I' ANNUAL REPORT 2007 - TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 145 BARNSTABLE ELDERLY AND DISABLED TAX ASSISTANCE COMMITTEE The Committee was formed in 1999. The funds that it uses are gifts from Barnstable taxpayers who help their fellow citizens by adding a donation to their real estate payments or to their motor vehicle excise tax bills. The money is put in the BEDTAC fund, man- aged by the Treasurer's office and used to assist taxpayers who are struggling to stay in their homes. Applications are available from the Treasurer's office and at the Assessor's office. The committee is composed of a member of the Board of Assessors, the Assistant Treasurer of Barnstable and two to four members who are residents. Elders are citizens 65 and older; those who are disabled must be owners of primary residences. Income of applicants is not to exceed $28,000 per household; Applications are due in the Treasurer's office by December 31. The information in the application is confidential so the committee reviews these requests in executive session. This last year we had twenty-one applications. Eighteen applicants were found to be eligible and were given assistance. The awards were sent from the Treasurer to the Tax Collector who applied them to the Real Estate Tax Bills. We thank those who made this assistance possible and hope that we can continue to help our needy citizens. This year we were able to award $7,150. Our goal is to increase the awareness of BEDTAC to encourage both those who would give and those who may receive.

The BHC reviews applications for demolition of historic properties to oversee the protection of property located outside our Town's two historic districts (the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District and the Hyannis Main Street Waterfront Historic District). In addition, there are 75 individual properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places plus another 13 National Register Historic Districts which the BHC oversees in this regard. The BHC responds to Massachusetts Historical Commission inquiries about all historical concerns in the Town and may offer places for inclusion on the Department of the Interior's National Register of Historic Places. Applications submitted under Chapter 112 of the Town's Ordinances, Protection of Historic Properties, are as follows: Demolition applications - 29 Demolitions Approved - 23 Demolitions Denied - 5 Demolitions referred to the Cape Cod Commission - 1 Informal Reviews - 26 Substantial Alterations referred to the Cape Cod Commission - 3 Once again, there are an unprecedented number of applications for demolition of his- toric buildings and estate buildings designed by architects of renown in the last century, double the number in FY 2006. Estate houses in Cotuit,Osterville,Centerville,Hyannis and the northern side of town, especially on waterfront property, are attempting to change an appearance which historically has been designed to fit the scale and architec- ture of the coast. This impacts historic neighborhoods and the aura of traditional Cape views. On the bright side, many commercial buildings are revitalizing current main road buildings understanding the economic sense of heritage tourism by retaining the flavor of the older commercial districts. Town regulations allow the BHC to postpone for six months demolition of structures over 75 years old.if it qualifies as a significant building. This process allows the property owner time to try to incorporate the present building into new plans or to find other individuals who would be interested in purchasing and improving the current building. Through the years, significant buildings have been pre- served through the joint efforts of the BHC, the Cape_Cod Commission and property owners. BHC has also worked with applicants of historic properties in an informal design review of alterations and additions to properties, which in most instances has been most successful. We thank all of the designers and architects that have worked so well with the Commission to ensure that changes to historic properties are appropriate to the era, style and scale of the existing building. Some very high quality design work has resulted from this collaboration. During the year, the historic inventories numbering approximately 2,000 properties have been given new files and entered into a database by volunteer Holly Hobart from Marstons Mills. A very special thank you to Holly for this valuable work. In addition, ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 147 Holly, together with James Gould of Cotuit and Robert Frazee of Marstons Mills, have been inventorying historically and architecturally significant properties in the Mills; these inventories have been accepted by the Massachusetts Historical Commission for inclusion in the State inventory of Historic Places. Electronic access to the BHC minutes and agendas has improved and the televised meetings are now available for review by the citizens of Barnstable. BHC has supported OKH in the effort, along with Massachusetts Historical Commission, the U.S. Department of Natural Resources, the Massachusetts Recreation and Conservation Commission, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Nature Conservancy in relocating the Sandy Neck Ticket Office in order to preserve it and to aid Sandy Neck educational efforts. The entire Sandy Neck historic and archaeological resources and historic cottages offer the Town a rich information and experiential source for pre-history, early history and current uses information. The BHC has been working cooperatively with the Town's Community Preservation Committee (CPC) to review the requests they have received for funding under historic items, a necessary function in their difficult task to determine which resources to support with financial action. The BHC is hoping to update the Town inventory of historic structures and buildings and to update the Town's preservation plan which is more than 20 years old. A detailed and updated Historic Structures Report for the Town-owned Trayser Musem, the Old Selectman's Complex and Town Hall buildings should be funded in the coming fiscal year. Special thanks to Jackie Etsten,AICP, and Patty Mackey for their excellent support of this Commission's work. Respectfully submitted, Nancy B.

The BHA was pleased to receive renewal funding of$320,040.00 from HUD to con- tinue the operation of the Housing First program which funds thirty-five Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers for individuals with HIV/AIDS and $44,144 for families with AIDS. The BHA used a capital fund grant from HUD to renovate six kitchen units at Colony House, and redo the parking lot. The Patrick Administration is committed to the renovation and upkeep of public hous- ing properties. Using inspections of all Barnstable's public housing units the administra- tion is committing funds for needed capital improvements. $94,000 in state funding was awarded for new roofs at Adams Court on Stevens Street and the.Department of Housing and Community Development awarded $20,000 for new carpeting. at Sea Street Extension. The state also assisted with several renovations at scattered site family rental housing owned by the BHA. The BHA was awarded Priority Development Fund money from Mass Housing Partnership to continue the development of Stage Coach Road in Centerville. Working with the Town of Barnstable, the BHA is adding five inclusionary housing units to our family rental stock. Commissioner Kimber, who has been a member of the BHA Board of Commissioners for sixteen years has chosen not to seek re-election in 2007. His expertise and commit- ment to providing housing opportunities for low income individuals and families will be greatly missed. The Executive Director was part of the Barnstable delegation which competed for the All America City award. One of the three challenges highlighted was meeting the need. of affordable housing. The Town has been very proactive and supportive of local initia- tives to preserve and produce affordable housing.The BHA was proud to be a part of this successful endeavor. The Barnstable Housing Authority will continue to work with federal, state, county, and local officials to make 2007-08 successful as we strive to provide the participants in. our programs with safe,sanitary,and affordable housing.The Town Manager has commit- ted significant resources to bring the Town's affordable housing stock up to 10% and the BHA will continue to work with the Town Council, local officials, and the Barnstable Housing Committee to meet local housing needs. The Board meets in open public session every third Thursday at 4:00 pm.Meetings are rotated each month and held at one of the BHA owned developments to encourage resident involvement. Public participation and comment are both welcome and encour- aged. Our offices are located at 146 South Street, Hyannis. Respectfully submitted, Deborah Converse, Chair Joseph I.

Lynch, Executive Director ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 149 BARNSTABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE The Barnstable Housing Committee works to promote the production and preservation of balanced housing resources which address the unmet needs of the Town of Barnstable. The nine member committee facilitates the development of and equal access to afford- able housing, and serves as the Town's Local Housing Partnership. In this role, and in conjunction with the Town Manager, the Committee reviews and makes recommenda- tions on housing proposals that are seeking local support under the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD)'s Local Initiative Program (LIP). In addition,Committee members actively participate with the Zoning Board of Appeals in the review of Chapter 40B Comprehensive Permit proposals (the state statute which allows the waiver of local regulations to build affordable housing). The BHC is also responsible for approving affordable housing units created through the Town's Inclusionary Affordable Housing Ordinance (Chapter 9, Article I of the Town Code), and monitoring the long term affordability of the units. The Committee held a total of twelve meetings in FY 2007, and accomplished the fol- lowing: • Reviewed and commented on seven proposed affordable housing develop- ment projects totaling 186 units, 80 of which would be affordable. • Advised the Planning Board on inclusionary affordable units in Hyannis, including three proposed off-site affordable units for Flagship Estates, two on-site units at Stoneridge Crossing and two at the Village Marketplace. • Reviewed and commented on Regulatory Agreements for The Greenery and proposed affordable housing on School Street, Hyannis. • Reviewed and commented on affordable housing provisions for the new draft of the Local Comprehensive Plan. • Consulted with Town Attorney on$1,000,000 payment to Town's Affordable Housing Trust Fund in lieu of two affordable units for Tradewinds Inn, Centerville.

The Board is charged with interpreting and enforcing local and state regulations that pertain to the public health. The Board is also responsible for identifying the need for and adopt- ing new regulations that address such issues. • During fiscal year 2007, the Board of Health continued to enforce ongoing programs including sewage disposal, hazardous material use, storage and disposal, fuel storage and food service sanitation. A total of 2,948 inspections were conducted by Health Division staff at restaurants, swimming pools, retail stores, percolation tests, septic systems, tanning facilities, motels and other facilities. • The Board has been charged with enforcing the new rental and occupancy ordi- nances passed by Town Council. Hearings on these issues have become a major focus of most Board meetings. • The Board reviewed forty-eight (48) variance requests during the fiscal year. Most variance requests pertained to septic system construction and food establishment operations. Forty-one variance requests were granted and seven were denied. • The Board continues to work with the County on compliance checks of local estab- lishments' adherence to the 1996 tobacco regulations regarding sales to minors. • The cooperative effort with the County Health Department on monitoring of I/A septic systems has led to .identification of incomplete/inadequate testing of some installations with subsequent improved enforcement. • The Board continues to work with the Town's Department of Public Works staff and engineers on plans for utilizing the Barnstable Wastewater Treatment facility in the most efficient and beneficial way. The Board hopes to implement an escrow program this coming year that would enable homeowners/businesses to temporarily repair failed septic systems with less than fully compliant Title V systems in areas where sewer availability is imminent while putting funds in escrow to cover the cost of con- necting to sewer when available. If sewer was not available in the expected period of time, the escrow funds would be used to upgrade the temporary repair to a fully compliant system. • The Board continues its strong support of the community nursing program. Public Health Nurse Maureen Kelleher holds monthly clinics at which lead screenings, immunizations and blood pressure testing are offered. Influenza vaccinations were provided to 3,156 persons at our annual influenza clinics. • The Board has worked with the Downtown Hyannis Merchants Association ,on mitigating the financial burden of enforcement of the regulations regarding dumpster screening and touchless faucets. • A new regulation codifying the time allowed for repair of failed septic systems, including descriptions of the situations that would trigger each timeline was passed by the Board. • The Board evaluated a number of 40B applications to determine whether the plans adequately protected the health of the residents of the Town and whether they com- plied with State regulations. Junichi Sawayanagi joined the Board as a new member in 2007. Mr. Sawayanagi is an engineer who brings to the Board additional expertise in food sanitation issues. We wel- come his addition to the Board. ANNUAL REPORT 2007 - TOWN OF BARNSTABLE I51 The Board wishes to thank our Director of Public Health, Thomas McKean, R.S., C.H.O., and all the other dedicated members of the Public Health Division staff for their continuing hard work and dedication in protecting the public health and the environ- ment. Respectfully submitted, Wayne A. Miller, M.D., Chair Paul Canniff, D.M.D. Junichi Sawayanagi CABLE ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Town's Cablevision License Agreement with Comcast expires on December 31, 2009. Our Committee has commenced negotiations with Comcast concerning the terms and provisions of a new cable franchise agreement. During the past year Comcast again increased its rates. The Town has no power to control the cablevision rates changes by this de facto monopoly. Only when there is direct competition between two cablevision operators can we hope to see a reduction in rates. Comcast's natural competitor would appear to be Verizon, but so far Verizon has not filed for a cablevision license with the Town of Barnstable. Instead Verizon is supporting proposed legislation which would take away the authority of municipalities such as Barnstable to license the cable television operators using the town public ways. Needless to say the Town opposed this legislation, since we believe that the current licensing process works well. Franchise fees received from Comcast for fiscal year 2006 amounted to about$467,400 plus a capital payment of $45,000, so the cablevision license is a significant source of revenue to the Town. Franchise fees support not only our local Government Channel 18 and our local Educational Channel 22,but also support the Public Access activities of the Cape Cod Media Center which operates Cable Channel 17. The Town Manager, the Town Council and our Committee have gone on record expressing the Town's"Opposition to Congressional and Telephone Company Proposals to Weaken and Usurp Municipal Cable Franchising Powers." Municipal cable franchising has been important to right-to- way management and also to maintaining the cable company's responsiveness to consum- ers, and it would be outrageous for Congress or our State Legislature to take away the Town's licensing and oversight power.

This time-table will streamline the application and review process from beginning to end by setting application deadlines and holding special meetings to review specific applications. The review period will be six months with recommendation from the CPC going to the Town Manager and Town Council in the spring and fall of each year. The focus of the CPC recommendations for this year was on Historic Preservation and Affordable Housing. This represents a backlog of demand from those areas eligible for funding under the Community Preservation Act. Below are charts showing how much was expended from the four categories of the Community Preservation Act.This year John Abodeely resigned from this position as Conservation Commission liason to the Community Preservation Committee and we thank him for his service.

Currently there are seven sitting members and two vacancies. CFAC's responsibilities are expressly declared in the Town of Barnstable's Administrative Code, Chapter 241, Section 18 and this code requires CFAC to provide financial advice to the Town Council and Town Manager in the following areas: • CFAC provides financial advice to the Town Council on the yearly operating budgets for all Town agencies, which include the school budget as adopted by the School Committee. • CFAC provides financial advice to the Town Council and the Town Manager on matters of long-range financial planning. • CFAC is responsible for advising the Town Manager on the annual preparation of the Town's Capital Improvement Plan. We prepare a report to the Town Council on said capital improvement plan and participate in public hearings for the review of the CIP. In FY 2007, CFAC conducted regularly scheduled meetings and many additional sub- committee meetings in our pursuit of providing the Town Manager and Town Council with financial advice and guidance on the required areas as well as analysis and recom- mendations as requested by the Town Council or Town Manager. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR'S ACTIVITY INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: • CFAC organized its required work under the Administrative Code, to be accomplished by subcommittees, specifically a CIP Subcommittee, Municipal Operating Budget Subcommittee, School Operating Budget Subcommittee, and a Long-Range Planning Committee. • In March 2007, CFAC issued its 2007 Capital Improvement Plan Report to the Town Manager and Town Council and presented its report in Public Hearings in April. CFAC's CIP Subcommittee recommended that a Capital Asset Maintenance Fund be established for preventive maintenance. • CFAC presented its FY2007 Municipal Operating Budget to the Town Council in May 2007. The MOB subcommittee recommended a range of process related improvements that will bridge the information gap between managers who develop their budgets and the taxpayers who pay for it. The subcommittee additionally determined that future deliberations will concentrate on a limited number of focus areas in depth rather that a limited focus on the whole of the Budget. • Committee member Mike Ingham continued to provide ongoing support to Councilor Barton's Fire Department Study committee. • CFAC continued to provide resources for Councilor Curtis's Road Committee Report to be presented to the Town Council. • Proposals for 2008 include active involvement in the Charter Commission review, analysis of possible school building dispositions, and review of the changes to Retirement Assets Management.

The Friends Liaison's function is to convey information and suggestions from the COA meetings to the Friends Board and conversely keep BCOA informed on transactions from the FBCOA Board meetings. The Proposed Addition of three new BCOA Members The Board discussed the need for new members and decided to increase COA member- ship by three - for the following reasons: * the expansion of committees, * a sometime high turn over rate of COA members, * the coming of the boomers, (anticipate by 2020 40 percent of Barnstable's population will be retirees, and * the probability that a citizen may wish to serve but may not be able to participate fully as a volunteer. Therefore the proposed three new COA members that will differ as shown below: Alternate Member: One alternate member is proposed. The alternate member will attend meetings and will serve on committees. In the event of an absence of a regular member at a scheduled or special meeting, the alternate member will have voting rights on business that comes before the board. Associate member: Two associate members are proposed. The associate members will attend meetings and serve on committees. Note: The prospect of including alternate and associate member within a COA is pro- posed at Elders Affairs Seminars run by the'Commonwealth. Their position is that the communities can best determine their needs. The Barnstable COA agrees with this con- cept and believes it fulfills the above given reasons.

Weekly art shows were held at the Guyer Barn from April 27 to December 15, 2007, including the annual Barnstable High School Senior Art Show and the Cape Abilities Show. The 12th Annual Christmas and Native American Craft Show coincided with the annual Hyannis Village Christmas Stroll. The Guyer Barn suffered a great loss in August of 2007 with the passing of long time Director Patricia Curcio. An accomplished artist in her own right, Pat was a champion of the arts in Hyannis. Her tireless dedication and endless hours committed to the Guyer Barn will be sorely missed by the arts community. f, 4 . x low y E n' t i SlfjR t, i� a 1661 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2007 HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE The Town of Barnstable's Human Services Committee is a standing committee to advise the Town Council on Human Services issues including, but not limited to, housing and the homeless, employment and the mental and physical health of the Town's residents. The mission of the Human Services Committee is to"Improve the Human Condition of all Citizens of the Town of Barnstable and be an advocate for its most vulnerable popula- tions." Its responsibilities include presenting and promoting solutions (including imple- mentation plans) and coordinating and consolidating efforts with agencies at the local, regional and state levels where indicated. The Human Services Committee is charged with assessing the health and human service needs of our community and on a regular basis will report to the Town Council with an assessment of the Town's "Human Condition." The Committee meets monthly and has created several subcommittees. Some members of the.Human Services Committee also serve on the"No.Place for Hate" Committee, and interact with the Youth Commission. In the early 1990s,an ad hoc committee was formed to look at the human services needs of the Town of Barnstable, with a particular focus on homelessness issues. In 2005, in its wisdom, the Barnstable Town Council formalized this Committee. Entering its second year of approved existence, the Human Services Committee has increased its activities and membership. The successful"Operation in from the Cold"was extended into"Operation in from the Streets",a year-round program to address the needs of our Town's most vulnerable popula- tion, the chronically homeless that sleep outdoors throughout the year. Last year, thanks to donations from private and public entities, the extended program was able to serve individuals from October through April. The program continued in reduced form until July when funds were depleted. In 2006-2007, OIFTS served a total of 54 individuals, with more than 18 placed in housing, 17 entering programs,and 6 others either relocated or returning to families. The average cost for individuals in the program was $1,000 per client. In addition, the Committee has, through extensive outreach, been able to bring media attention to the human service needs of the town, including a high level of visibil- ity by the frequently media-attended and covered public meetings. GIFTS' "Emergency Response Network" team has grown to a dozen outreach workers and first responders who meet regularly to review the situation out on the streets to better serve this population. More than$54,000 was raised for OIFTS last year,with approximately half coming from individuals, faith organizations, businesses and other groups. The other half came from Cape municipalities,including Barnstable,Eastham,Chatham,Dennis,Harwich,Orleans and Yarmouth. OIFTS is continuing and fundraising events and activities are currently being planned. The HSC cosponsored a notable event held last year, Barnstable's third National Homeless Persons Memorial Day. This year the ceremony and activities will take place on Friday, December 21. The HSC also hosted three Roundtables on the subject of Homelessness. These work- shops were highly productive and resulted in the identification of best practices and ser- vice gaps for this group. Communication and collaboration has improved among Human service agencies servicing individuals who are homeless as the result of these roundtables. A"Street Sheet"brochure was created to provide resource information for homeless indi- viduals or those threatened with becoming homeless. ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 167 An important result of the roundtables was the identification of a need for a 24/7, single point of entry access resource center for the homeless. The Human Services Committee is currently working collaboratively to create such a resource center and sup- ported housing, following the "Housing First" model and knowledge gained from "Operation in from the Streets" In addition, the Human Services Committee is addressing the issue of Domestic Violence in Barnstable and its impact on women, children and families. Last spring, the HSC met with several distinguished professionals from the DV field, who updated the Committee on the challenges of dealing with an issue that is under-reported, underfund- ed, and often,misunderstood. The consensus of these experts was that a proactive approach, including education at all levels on the causes and effects of domestic violence, was critical to combating this problem. In cooperation with the Youth Commission, No Place for Hate Committee, Barnstable Police and School Departments and others, the HSC is co-sponsoring"Peace Week" in Barnstable this fall, with two educational forums on domestic violence,one centering on the topic in general and one specifically designed for young people. The Town of Barnstable Human Services Committee has been working hard to improve the Human Condition in our community, and we look forward to further successes in the field of Health and Human Services for Barnstable.

The Board meets twice a month on Mondays at 7:00 p.m. at the Town Hall. In addition to Monday night meetings, a Planning Board subcommittee on zoning meets at Town Hall most Tuesday between 12:00 -2:00 p.m. This subcom- mittee meeting is chaired by Board member Steve Shuman. Steve and his committee, with staff support, have worked on proposed changes to the Town's Zoning Ordinance. All Planning Board and committee meetings are posted and are open to the public. . This past year has been a busy one for the Planning Board. In addition to its regulatory agenda and the work of the zoning review subcommittee, the entire Planning Board serves as the revision and review committee for the Local Comprehensive Plan (LCP). This committee is chaired by Marlene Weir. Work on the updates to the LCP have involved innumerable meetings, public hearings, and workshops with town staff, town boards and commissions, and local experts. There have also been many meetings to gather public input, including meetings with village associations, as well as postings to the Town website including an e-mail comment option, and televised Planning Board workshops. This input has allowed the Board to integrate information from various departments, agencies and individuals who are stakeholders in each of the specific areas addressed in the LCP update. As each sec- tion of the plan is completed it is posted on the Town website for citizen review, www. town.barnstable.ma.us ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 179 The Planning Board is preparing to begin the final review and adoption process for the LCP update in September of 2007. Additional outreach will be conducted during the final review and adoption, Implementation will commence in early winter. With the passage of the Hyannis Downtown Zoning District ordinance, the Growth Incentive Zone legislation, the Design & Infrastructure Plan, and the Land Based Wind Energy Conversion Facilities Ordinance, the Planning Board has had a busy year considering and acting upon special permit and regulatory agreement requests. The Town Council appointed the Planning Board to be the special permitting authority for the Hyannis Village Zoning Districts and the Land Based Wind Energy Conversion Facilities Ordinance. The Board has been working with Town officials and other Boards to bring long awaited revitaliza- tion projects in Hyannis to reality. The Board is beginning to receive its first wind turbine applications as of this writing. The Board thanks our staff for the great work and support they have given us through the year.

The Board provides the Town Manager e with advice relative to Sandy Neck for the purposes of pres- ervation,conservation,education and passive recreation such as hiking,horseback riding,swimming,hunting,camping and fishing. 1 _; As the fiscal year comes to a close, I'd like to thank one former board member who has retired, Mr. Jim Kittredge. He is a tireless advocate for beach preservation and protection. Jim has been a fixture at the beach, and for many years he owned a cottage within the cottage colony(affectionately called"The Barnacle"). Jim could be found puttering around and"fixing"most anything and was always ready to lend a helping hand to those who needed it Jim is a master boat builder, and will be spending his time now repairing another Crosby Cat in his side yard. We owe a debt of gratitude to Jim for his interest in the Neck for all those years. I also want to welcome Mr. George Muhlebach who has recently joined our board. George brings a wealth of professional scientific experience, along with an abundance of enthusiasm to the board. The board's work could not be carried out without the dedication of the Park Manager, Nina Coleman, and her staff. Nina has a great managerial style, and has the knack for getting things done. She and her ranger staff make the Sandy Neck Park a really unique place to go visit! The park staff has had a very busy season with the severe spring storms, the fencing was erected, just to be taken away a couple of weeks after their hard work was finished. The bathhouse is in its final days of public service.We will limp by this year with some paint and putty and board replacement, next year I hope to report to you that a new bathhouse and added parking will be in the"building phase"to greet visitors to our Park. A working group of the board and staff have been meeting since last fall with architects and planners to design a new bathhouse and parking facility. A Coastal Interpretative Center is in the wings for construction should permitting and funding be available.That portion of the project will require a "Friends of Sandy Neck" (a 501 c 3) corporation to make it sustainable. Several folks have already signed up to be on ,the Friends Committee. Our design process has pointed out some areas that needed attention after meeting with neighborhood abutters, most notably, traffic concerns by the neighborhood. Chief Paul MacDonald and Traffic Sgt. Andy McKenna of the Barnstable Police Department have taken actions that slow the traffic, eliminate parking issues in the neighborhood and increase monitoring of safety issues raised by Park staff. The Barnstable harbor dredge project has been stalled for legal reasons. It is hoped that this fall will see the process begin and the spoils pumped to the ever increasing void behind the cottage colony on the Neck And finally, I can report that Sandy Neck is now a real legal town address with house numbers and GPS coordinates! With the help of Town Surveyor(911 coordinator) Frank Schlegel and Jim Benoit of the GIS department, the addressing and numbering process is now complete and all owners and fire departments have been given the new legal address- es. So a big thanks goes to them and their departments for the helping our board finalize this goal! ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 181 Accomplishments • Partnered with Boy Scout Troup#56 for construction of 2 visitor benches along trail#1. • Reviewed and partnered with the Town Engineering department for the Barnstable Harbor dredging project.

Respectfully submitted, Len Gobeil, Chair Martin Flynn,Jr. Debbie Hill John Marsden Janice Cliggott ANNUAL REPORT 1007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 183 THE BARNSTABLE SHELLFISH COMMITTEE The Barnstable Shellfish Committee meets on the third Wednesday of every month at the Marine & Environmental Affairs Division building on Phinney's Lane. During the last year the Committee continued to work directly with the MEA Division, as well as, commercial and residential shellfish persons and aquaculture license holders to help enhance the shellfish resources for the entire Town. The Town continues to experi- ence a reduction in sustainable shellfish habitat especially on the South-side and more particularly in and within the Three Bays (East,West and North Bays). The lost habitat is evidenced by the closure of previously open shellfishing areas due to water quality issues, the actual loss of productive ocean bottom and an overall deterioration of shellfish habitat. The reduction appears to be the result of increased human encroachment in the form of docks and the associated scouring of productive ocean bottom by prop dredging, along with the continued intrusion of destructive chemicals attributed primarily to failing septic systems and road run-off. The Committee works closely with MEA, and it seeks input from commercial and family shellfish persons and aquaculturists, to develop new ways to increase propagation efforts throughout the Town. The Committee is concerned that notwithstanding its efforts to enhance the shellfishery through propagation the expected goals will not come to fruition due to actual loss and degradation of habitat. The Committee continues to be concerned with the loss of"ways to water" which are necessary to access the Town's waters for shellfishing though recent efforts by the Town are encouraging. The Committee meetings begin at 7:30 P.M. and are open to the public and the public is invited to attend and participate in the process. The Committee also continues to be frustrated by its efforts to protect the shellfish habitat for the entire community and which efforts have, of recent, been ignored and or disregarded. Such response to the Committee's efforts bodes ill for the future of the Town's shellfish resource. Respectfully submitted, Stuart W.

We want to thank them for all of their hard work on behalf of the Waterways Committee and the Town of Barnstable. The committee dealt with a number of issues this year, not the least of which was the matter of floating aquaculture bags in West Bay. We are also pleased to report that the newly enacted mooring renewal schedule has worked out quite well. The implementation of a grace period with a late fee has significantly reduced the number of mooring appeals brought before the committee. We are thankful for the guidance and assistance we receive from Harbormaster Dan Horn, Marina Manager Eric Shufelt, Mooring Officer Joe Gibbs and Administrative Assistant Mary McGaughey. 4 ' John Meade, Chair Waterways Committee s„ cap, i urt � "'nAmwmwN�f i%,i a iy�U �,,,,: ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 1185 YOUTH COMMISSION ..

In carrying out those responsibilities, the Board's mission, as cited in Section 240-2 of the Zoning Ordinance, is to promote the health, safety,convenience,morals and general welfare of the inhabitants of the Town of Barnstable, to protect and conserve the value of the property within the Town, to increase the amenities of the Town, and to secure safety from seasonal or periodic flood- ing,fire, congestion or confusion. In exercising its duties, the Board functions under the regulation of General Laws, Chapter 40A, as amended, as well as Chapter 40B and its own adopted regulations. Zoning is one of the most important and overall effective planning tools to shape the future growth of the Town of Barnstable. Zoning divides the Town into districts, identi- fying uses allowed in the districts and establishing minimum regulations for density of development. The districts and applicable regulations give form and organization to the overall land use and development within the town.

Additionally,I held 9 public meetings as the Hearing Officer for the Accessory Affordable Apartment Program and on behalf of the Board heard 31 applications for comprehensive permits under that program. The preceding chart is a recapitulation of the cases brought before the Board. The Board issued three Comprehensive Permits for affordable housing during fiscal year 2007. Two permits were issued to the Housing Assistance Corporation for the develop- ment of 12 one-bedroom (age 55 and older) affordable rental housing units on Meeting House Road (Route 149) in West Barnstable, MA and 28, two- and three-bedroom town- house units on Iyannough Road (Route 132) in West Barnstable, MA. All of these units. are to be rented to households with an income level not to exceed 60% of the area median income. The third permit was issued to Jacques N. Morin for Settlers Landing I authorizing 20 single-family dwellings on 5.61 acres with five dwellings dedicated as affordable. In addi- tion,a modification of Living Independently Forever,Inc.,comprehensive permit resulted in the creation of four additional new living units at "LIFE at Hyannis" with one addi- tional unit being dedicated as affordable. The Board has faced a number of issues over the course of the year and the Growth Management Department, under the leadership of Ruth Weil, has assisted the Board in addressing the Board's concerns. One of the current pressing concerns is that of over- building in sensitive areas of the town, especially in areas that are prone to flooding, contribute to our public supply wells, runoff to coastal waters, and areas of distinct his- toric and cultural concern. In October of 2006, Board Members met with the Town Council on issues of zoning and have been participating with the Planning Board Subcommittee on Zoning to address those concerns. Board Members Randolph Childs and James Hatfield have represented the Board at those subcommittee meetings,and their time and efforts are appreciated.. I want to express my appreciation to Randolph Childs who has announced that he will not be seeking.another term with the Board. Mr. Childs was appointed as an Associate Member in 2000 and a full Member in 2005. His quick grasp of zoning and understanding of issues has contributed greatly to the Board and to the decisions rendered. We will miss him. Early in the fiscal period, Carol Puckett was hired as the Administrative Assistant to the Board, and we appreciate her dedication and services to us. In addition, we want to recognize and express our appreciation to the Town Attorney's Office and the Building Commissioner, Tom Perry, for their services and assistance to the Board. I would be remiss if I didn't once again thank our Principal Planner—Arthur Traczyk for his endless hours of devotion,expertise,and assistance to our Board—definitely"above and beyond" what is required of his position.

Its mission is to manage growth, to protect Cape Cod's unique environment and character, and to foster a healthy com- munity for present and future generations. I am pleased to be able to submit the following report for the residents of the Town of Barnstable and for those who serve us in a leadership role. I am privileged to be able to serve as the Town's representative to the Cape Cod Commission and see it as an impor- tant responsibility. The following is a brief overview of its responsibilities, recent actions and focuses both regionally and locally. The Cape Cod Commission provides regional services and coordinates many projects and activities that affect all of Barnstable County.The Commission also provides techni-. cal assistance to each Cape town.Activities involve promotion of affordable housing and economic development;protection of coastal,water,and natural resources;preparation of maps and analysis of geographic data; preservation of historic resources; preparation of transportation plans and analysis of traffic congestion and safety issues; and more. The Cape Cod Commission is charged with reviewing and regulating Developments of Regional Impact, recommending designation of Districts of Critical Planning Concern, and preparing and overseeing the implementation of the Regional Policy Plan, the set of planning policies and objectives that guide development on Cape Cod. Regional Activities in FY2007 21 st Century Task Force Throughout the year, the Cape Cod Commission's regulations and operations were the subject of a comprehensive external review by the 21st Century Task Force on the Cape Cod Commission. A 19-member committee appointed in late spring 2006 by the Barnstable County Commissioners, the Task Force evaluated the agency's operations and made recommendations to improve its effectiveness and relationships with towns. The Task Force met for six months and conducted a thorough review of the Commission's planning, regulatory, technical assistance, and management communications functions. In December 2006,the Task Force delivered its report with more than 35 recommenda- tions for improvements. The County Commissioners identified their priorities among those recommendations in late April 2007,focusing on better communications with Cape Cod municipal officials, more emphasis on the creation of livable wage jobs when analyz- ing development proposals, and working with towns to revise regional development review thresholds. As it pursues implementation of Barnstable County's priorities, the Cape Cod Commission will draft proposed changes to its Enabling Regulations and will revise the Regional Policy Plan. The Commission will make progress reports to the County Commissioners and Assembly of Delegates and meet with towns, chambers of commerce, and other interested groups. 1901 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2007 Planning, Technical Assistance; Training, and Regulatory Activities In Fiscal Year 2007, the Cape Cod Commission continued to pursue regional planning, -technical assistance, and regulatory activities to help communities to manage growth across the region. In addition,the Commission sponsored and cosponsored training work- shops for municipal officials and staff. Several highlights of those activities include the following: • The Cape Cod Commission continued to provide staff support to the Cape Cod Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), which allocates federal funds for transportation.The staff also worked with the Cape Cod Joint Transportation Committee, discussing local, regional, state, and federal transportation planning programs. Part of the Commission's work includes maintaining the Regional Transportation Plan and the annual Transportation Improvement Program, which are the primary means by which federal and state funds are allocated to the Cape's transportation projects. This year, the MPO endorsed a four-year update of the Regional Transportation Plan and the annual update of the Transportation Improvement Program. As a result of these efforts, approximately $61 million of local and regional transportation projects were eligible for funding for Federal Fiscal Years 2007 through 2010. • The Cape Cod Commission continued its water resources protection work, contributing to wastewater management, water quality, and water supply initia- tives. The staff coordinated the technical advisory committee to the Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative and continued to participate as a technical part- ner in the Massachusetts Estuaries Project (MEP), making watershed-based nitrogen-loading assessments of land use affecting Cape Cod embayments. The staff also continued to promote pond and lake water-quality stewardship. Among other studies and data analyses, the Commission coordinated the sixth annual water quality "snapshot" involving citizen volunteers who took 400 samples from 136 ponds and lakes this year. The School of Marine Science and Technology at the University of Massachusetts—Dartmouth, an MEP partner, analyzed the water samples in their laboratories without charge; the analysis has an estimated value of$100 per sample. • The Cape Cod Commission continued its solid waste management planning work this year by encouraging and organizing Cape municipalities to make an evaluation of long-term solid waste disposal options. One goal of the evaluation is to prepare for the possible renegotiation of municipal contracts with the SEMASS waste-to-energy facility in Rochester, Massachusetts, before current contracts expire (generally 2015). Another is to explore feasible alternatives to SEMASS. The staff sent a proposed work outline to all Cape boards of selectmen and town managers. Each town then nominated a representative to a contract com- mittee that was formally appointed by the Barnstable County Commissioners in early summer 2007. By the end of the fiscal year, the staff had begun researching and compiling a comprehensive "Phase I" report that begins analyzing waste disposal options.The report will be shared and discussed with the contract com- mittee and Cape municipalities beginning in fall 2007. ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 191 • The Cape Cod Commission continued its affordable housing work this year. The staff coordinated the HOME Consortium, which has brought more than $9.4 million in federal funds to the region since 1994,resulting in more than 600 affordable housing units across the Cape.The staff also continued to manage the Soft Second Loan Program, which makes special mortgage loans that subsidize interest costs for eligible home buyers. Nearly 500 first-time home buyers have benefited from these loans since 1992. The Commission also continued to offer a Technical Assistance Program for affordable housing, which since 1995 has provided more than $200,000 to local housing authorities, housing nonprofit organizations, and municipalities to support capacity building, resource develop- ment, and short-term strategic planning. The staff also monitored Chapter 40B developments Capewide and provided technical comments to local boards reviewing 40B proposals in their communities. • The Cape Cod Commission sponsored and cosponsored a variety of training sessions and workshops for municipal officials and staff this year, including five workshops on affordable housing issues, four roundtable sessions and a workshop to support town committees implementing the Community Preservation Act, three meetings of a user group to support Geographic Information System work in towns, a workshop on coastal hazards and floodplain management, a field trip to a stormwater management research facility, and a conference on wastewater management. • The Cape Cod Commission considered more than 40 Development of Regional Impact (DRI) proposals this year, including industrial parks, transportation facilities, commercial and residential subdivisions, retail developments, telecom- munications towers, historic residences, municipal facilities, utility services, new or expanded mixed-use developments, and redevelopment projects. The Commission finalized 11 DRI decisions during Fiscal Year 2007.

"Bud" Breault The Cape Light Compact was formed in 1997 following two years of study and votes of town boards of selectmen and the Town Council. It is organized through a formal inter- governmental agreement signed by all 21 member towns and Barnstable and Dukes Counties.The purpose of the Cape Light Compact is to advance the interests of consum- ers in a competitive electric supply market, including the promotion of energy efficiency. Each participating municipality has a representative on the Compact Governing Board, which sets policy and works with staff, technical and legal support to advance the Cape Light Compact programs. POWER SUPPLY In 2006, the Cape Light Compact (Compact) provided energy to residents and busi- nesses in accordance with a competitive electricity supply contract negotiated by the Compact with ConEdison Solutions. Although prices were initially high as a result of hurricanes Katrina and Rita in late 2005, the Compact continually worked to lower prices throughout the year. Commencing in July,prices for all customer rate classes were reduced by 1 cent per kWh in order to lower electricity bills for the remainder of 2006. In addition, the Compact was able to reduce electricity prices for all of the Town's municipal accounts as a result of a separate procurement of energy in the spring of 2006. These reductions, effective in April 2006, saved between 25% and 30% on electricity bills for the town's municipal buildings, schools,.and other town related facilities. While these savings were not seen directly on consumers' individual electric bills, these savings flow through to all taxpayers in the town as a result of lower tax bills. Competition for consumers was more fully realized in 2006 as more competitive sup. pliers came into the market to serve residential as well as commercial and industrial accounts. The Cape Light Compact supports a competitive market for all consumers as was envisioned by the Electric Restructuring Act of 1997. As of December 2006, the Compact had 24,569 electric accounts in the Town of Barnstable on its energy supply. t ` ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 195 ENERGY EFFICIENCY From January to November 2006, rebates and other efficiency incentive programs pro- vided to the town of Barnstable by the Compact totaled approximately $710,384 and brought savings to 1,748 participants of$536,750 or about 3,578,335 kilowatt-hours of energy saved for 2006. Funding for the energy efficiency programs (i.e. energy audits for homes and businesses, rebates on the purchase of energy efficient appliances and energy education in our schools) comes from a monthly customer "energy conservation" charge ($0.0025 cents multiplied by the number of kilowatt hours used during the month) that appears on each customer's electric bill. ELECTRIC COOP On a dual track, the Cape Light Compact and its member municipalities continued the investigation into the formation of an electric COOP for the purposes of pursuing the "purchase, acquisition, distribution, sale, resale, supply, and disposition of energy or energy regulated services to wholesale or retail customers". Either through ownership and operation of renewable energy facilities or the wholesale purchase of power, the intent is for the COOP to further help stabilize electricity prices on the Cape for its residents,com- mercial customers and municipal accounts. OTHER CAPE LIGHT COMPACT EFFORTS INCLUDE: • The Cape Light Compact brought energy education to the Town of Barnstable. Education support included 4 programs and over 200+ students, parents, and teachers. Eight ENERGY STAR®qualified homes • Fifty-Two low-income homes retrofitted for a reduction in energy usage and increased comfort. • One solar panel at the Barnstable High School as part of the Solarize Our Schools campaign to sign up 3% of the occupied households in each town. Congratulations! • Lighting retrofits for Cape Cod Community College and the Barnstable Public Schools. Respectfully submitted, David W. Anthony Barnstable Representative 1961 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2007 WATER QUALITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE Annual Report July 1 2006 to June 30, 2007 The mission of the Town of Barnstable Water Quality Advisory Committee is to provide a forum for the five separate water purveyors of theTown to meet with Town officials and dis- cuss issues pertaining to the protection of water supply for the Town of Barnstable. The WQAC was established in the early 1980s and assisted the Town in mapping the recharge areas to the water supply wells in the Town and in adopting appropriate rules and regulations for aquifer protection. The WQAC met twice over the last year. A primary topic of discus- sion was the Town's Wastewater Facilities Plan that was completed by the Town in September. The committee is interested in reviewing the monitoring reports for Adaptive Management Plan that will monitor conditions around the Water Pollution Control Facility. The commit- tee also discussed water quality issues concerning treated water reuse, endocrine disruptors, personal and pharmaceutical products, perchlorate, asbestos pipes and reporting on total coliform. The Committee also discussed the new Hyannis Water Division and the need for a policy and protocol for district interconnections. The committee has requested that the administrative code for its membership be brought into line with its goal as being the Town forum for the local water purveyors. The Town policy precluding membership due to non-residency has resulted in long-standing water superintendents of the committee to lose their formal membership status. The committee membership below also includes the alternate members. Members: Tom Cambareri, -at large - Chair Jon Erickson- Barnstable Fire District H.

Interlibrary loan activity continued to rise in FY2007, as patrons took advantage of the extensive capabilities of this service. o Library patrons continue to enjoy the benefits of our membership in the CLAMS Network. With this area delivery system, library users are able to get books and other materials quickly and efficiently from all Cape and Island libraries. o The addition of the "Virtual Catalog" to our interlibrary loan options makes it possible for patrons., to borrow materials from libraries throughout Massachusetts. o Through the Southeastern Massachusetts Regional Library System's ILL service, we are able to obtain just about any material requested that is available for cir- culation'from a library in the United States. Computers and new technology continue to impact the way information of all kinds is made available. o In FY 2006, we upgraded our public desktop computers, which are used almost constantly. o We also offer wireless internet access for patrons who have their own laptops. o Reference and research take place daily, both over the Internet and with tradi- tional print resources. We are fortunate to have Linda Dalrymple, our experi- enced Reference Librarian, to assist patrons with their information needs. ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 209 Because of the enthusiastic response, last summer and the summer before, we are again staying open on Sundays throughout the summer in 2007. o In past years, the Osterville Library had been open seven days a week from Labor Day through Memorial Day,for a total of 47 hours per week. During the summer, Sunday hours previously were not maintained. o As noted in previous reports,in 2005,for the first time,we continued our Sunday hours (1:00—4:00 pm) throughout the summer,not knowing what level of activ- ity to expect. We were pleased to discover that the Library was very busy during Sunday hours, with especially heavy use of our public computers The Friends of the Library continued their successful book sales on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and their Village Day lunch concession. This group of active, dedicated indi- viduals raised about $12,000 to benefit the library. Their fundraising efforts support museum passes, large print books, unabridged audio books and children's programs,as well as occasional special projects. Thanks to the generosity of the Osterville Village Association, we were able to provide access to NoveList, an on-line reader's advisory resource, to users in the Library and at home, and,also, to introduce"Playaways,"a convenient new self-contained digital audio- book format. Community support is nowhere more evident than in the success of our fundraising efforts. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the Library Trustees and the generos- ity of our supporters,we are able to raise more than 65%of our operating budget each year. Fundraising events include the library auction, golf tournaments, the car raffle, and our Annual Appeal. These events not only provide necessary financial support, but they strengthen the relationship between the Osterville Free Library and our community. Current Board members are: Diane Richardson (President), Ellen Merlesena (Vice President), Ellyn Coyle Osmond (Treasurer), Gail C. Nightingale (Assistant Treasurer), Barbara Hansen (Secretary), Arthur E Cook,Jr.,Joanne Chope Corsiglia, Mark C. Cote, Ann W. Crosby, Anne T. Ehart,Jean C. Ellis, Sheila W. Horan, Terry Jaxtimer, Geoffrey F. Lenk,Jeannie Meyer, Steven L. Murphy, Ba Riznik, and Bruce Williams. Respectfully submitted, Patricia J. Rogers .

Projects included major upgrades and improvements to the drain- age systems around the building, repairs of foundation leaks and cracks, walkway repairs and replacement, gutter repairs, exterior reshingling and painting, replace- ment of storm windows, as well as electrical and telephone upgrades and repairs. Building improvements were funded with individual donations and bequests. • 2007 marked the 140th birthday of the Sturgis Library, which opened as a town library in 1867. A series of programs and a birthday bash celebrated our 140 years of service to the community. • Working with Library Building Consultant Marjorie Judd, the Board and staff of the Library developed a Building Program that laid the groundwork for future preserva- tion of and renovations to our historic building. A Building Feasibility Committee was established to develop short, medium, and long-range goals and projects. • A federally grant-funded project to digitize the first 100 years of the Barnstable Patriot newspaper got underway in the winter of 2007. The newspaper database should be accessible to the public by early 2008. Additional funding for this project was provided by the Lothropp Family Foundation and the Community Preservation Committee of the Town of Barnstable. • Marcella Curry, Assistant Director/Adult Services Librarian, took part in the Equal Access Libraries program, which helps to strengthen librarians' capacities for com- munity outreach, coalition building,public awareness and advocacy.These skills will better connect libraries to their communities, bring new users to libraries, and inte- grate programming into ongoing library operations. Marcella will be implementing ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 211 programs and services for active older adults in the coming year with the assistance of a$5,000 Equal Access LSTA grant. • Lucy Loomis, Library Director, participated again this year in the Town's Citizen Leadership Academy, Inside Barnstable Town Government. Lucy speaks to the Academy about the seven village libraries in the Town of Barnstable, and teaches participants about the many untapped resources in their library system. • Lucy also attended Connecting to Collections:The National Conservation Summit, which brought together more than 300 museum, library, and archives professionals in Washington,DC. Ina series of presentations and discussions,summit participants exchanged ideas about how to improve the care of their collections by working with outside experts, new technologies, the public, and funding sources. • The Library hosted visits by all of the 5th grades classes in the Town of Barnstable. Twenty-five classes visited the Sturgis Library, Barnstable Historical Society/Daniel Davis House, and Old Colonial Courthouse/Tales of Cape Cod over the course of four days. Students and teachers learned about the history of the Library and Town, and saw many interesting items from our special collections,from a walrus tusk to an original letter written by Mercy Otis Warren. • Tim Johnson, Youth Services Librarian, provided a holiday puppet show at the December Barnstable Stroll. He also fashioned a spectacular giant cupcake to pro- mote the Library's birthday in the Barnstable Village 4th of July Parade. The Library (or was it the cupcake?) won first prize. • We offered many programs for library users of all ages. In total we presented more than 100 programs, which were attended by nearly 4,000 people. They included: o Weekly preschool storytime, toddler playgroup, and special programs for children and their families throughout the year o Monthly lectures,author talks,a scholarly reading series,musical events, art exhibits, a Haunted Village Tour, and monthly displays. • We said goodbye to Youth Services Librarian Oona Coggeshall-Burr, who moved to Wales to persue her Masters in Library Science, and Technical Services Assistant Martha Powers, who took a position at the West Yarmouth Library. We welcomed new Youth Services Librarian Tim Johnson,Circulation Assistant Kyle Damron, and Technical Services Assistant Julie French. We are grateful for the help of circulation substitutes Karen Horn,Judy Fiset, and Adrienne Eldredge. • Our Board of Trustees continues to provide leadership and vision to the Sturgis Library. The FY2007 Board members were: Ellie Claus, President, Sean Cummings, Vice President, John Damon, Treasurer, John Obbard, Secretary, Carrie Bearse, Sheila Bearse, Bill Cook, Elissa Crowley,Jackie Crowley, Marilyn Fuller,Jim Hinkle, Joanne Lyman, Sherry Greene-Starr, Ted Theodores, and Joan Wright. We were saddened by the death of friend and Trustee John Obbard in the winter of 2007. One of John's many passions was antique furniture, and his memory will be honored with the restoration and preservation of an antique desk in the library's collection. • The Library receives less than half of its funding from the Town of Barnstable, so we must raise nearly 60% of our operating and capital monies through donations, fund- raising events,grants, and interest on our endowment. We sponsored a very success- ful Treasures of the Season raffle,as well as smaller events including our Garden Party Auction, Pirates and Mermaids Children's Fundraiser, yard sale, bake sales, and a holiday Ornament Auction. The Trustees held their second annual Trustee Dinner at the Barnstable Inn and Tavern Restaurant, which was attended by 80 enthusiastic library supporters. 2121 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2007 • We are indebted to our corps of nearly 30 volunteers who regularly assist with vital library tasks. We could not run the library without them! • We are also most appreciative of all the hard work and effort put in by the Friends of the Sturgis Library, who this year supported us by funding museum passes, furniture, painting,shutters,children's equipment and events,and many more worthwhile proj- ects. The Friends run the very popular. gift shop and bookstore, offer programs throughout the year, and sponsor the annual Book, Bake, and Plant sale. • We are very grateful to everyone who supports the library, through participation in our fundraisers, donations to our annual and special appeals, donations of books, artifacts, and materials for our collections,book sales, and yard sales, and all the other ways you support us. We hope you'll visit often, and share your thoughts and ideas with us. We thank you for another wonderful year! Lucy Loomis, Library Director Eleanor G.

Whelden Memorial Library is situatcd in the heart of West Barnstable. The library's charming architecture and welcoming atmosphere are reminiscent of Cape _ Cod's past. Once you pass through the doors, however, - = ` these attributes are seamlessly combined with up to date - - technology and resources far beyond the capabilities of even the recent past. As part of the CLAMS network our patrons can access the Virtual Catalog, which allows them to view and request items throughout the state. Together with other regional services capable of even more extensive searches, our patrons have found ;., that they can indeed get what they want. The library continues to be an invaluable meeting place and is used on an almost daily basis by over a dozen groups that range from the Barnstable County Beekeepers Association to the Mothers of Twins Group. Whelden is vital to our community in ways than transcend the provision of excellent library services. We are grateful for our very active and generous Friends of the Library Group. They work tirelessly at maintaining one of the best book sales around, as well as Whelden in Bloom which is a wine and cheese tasting event in June that offers plants and arrange- ments to purchase; the successful Christmas Boutique; and the fun and profitable Antique Show and Sale in April. They are always ready to support our library in every- thing from paying for our carpets to be cleaned to sponsoring children's programs, as well as providing numerous other thoughtful gifts to the Library. Staff member Mary Howe, through a lot of hard work and dedication, provided Whelden with a very positive new event: a Time and Talent Auction that was held in March. Over$3,000 was raised, coupled with the enjoyment of a community celebra- tion. The Trustee's choice of Citizen of the Year for 2006 award was Helmi Viliesis, named at the Festival in August of 2006. Helmi has given so much to our community and is most deserving of this acknowledgement. Whelden Memorial Library places great importance on our younger patrons. A con- stant goal of the library is to increase programming, update our children's collection and to cultivate in our young patrons a love of libraries. As always, we are grateful for our dedicated Trustees, capable and involved Staff, our extraordinary Friends Group and the many volunteers who help us maintain a dynamic and smoothly run library, and of course, our patrons which we consider to be our most valuable asset. Respectfully submitted, Kathleen Swetish, Director 1 � n 2141 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2007 BARNSTABLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE The School Committee is pleased to submit its report for the 2006-2007 school year. The past year was the first under new Superintendent,Dr Patricia Grenier,and we have been impressed by her commitment to our school system.The concept of site-based man- agement has further evolved under Patti's leadership, as she has shared her philosophy of "high quality teams" throughout the district. Our goal remains to establish a system in which each school, through its administrators, staff and parents, has greater control over the decisions that affect the unique needs of its students, yet maintains a strong collabo- ration between the schools and administration. One of the district's greatest challenges is to establish a long-term plan for the renova- tion of our aging elementary schools. With the continued contraction of student enroll- ment, we determined to end school programs in our oldest building, Osterville Bay Elementary, at the end of this year, and have submitted documentation to the state's school building authority regarding requested renovations at the other `baby boomer' schools. We will continue to work with the Town Council in developing a renovation plan that is supported by the community. The School Committee was proud that the consolidation of the district's finance and personnel offices with those of the Town resulted in the receipt of an Innovation Award by the Massachusetts Municipal Association. As always,we express our sincere appreciation for the efforts of Barnstable's administra- tors, teachers and staff members, who work diligently to provide our students with the best educational opportunities possible each and every day. We thank Town Council Liaison Janice Barton and outgoing Student Envoys Meghan Wareham and Kelly Erhard for their counsel to us throughout the year. We also thank the hundreds of persons who graciously volunteer thousands of hours of service to our schools.

H � ANNUAL REPORT 2007 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 1 217 SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT The statement"United Through Accomplishment"was selected by students at Barnstable High School as a mission statement for our ten schools, nearly 6,000 students, and 900 faculty and staff members. Students in art educator Lee Weill's Graphic Design class developed this statement and the above logo to exemplify what is outstanding about our academic programs. Barnstable High School offers students a broad range of academic and extracurricular programs designed to ensure students' success in life. College-bound graduates of the Class of 2007 were accepted at colleges and universities throughout the United States. The number of students attending two and four year schools represents 82% of the graduating class. The impressive list of acceptances includes Harvard, Georgetown, University of Massachusetts, University of Vermont, College of the Holy Cross, Brown University, Massachusetts College of Art, Berkelee School of Music, Cape Cod Community College, Sante Fe Community College, and 95 other institutions of higher learning. The resumes of our students include achievements in foreign language, athletics, the- ater, music, community service, international travel, and competitive performing in programs such as Destination Imagination,Future Problem Solvers, and Mock Trial. Our graduates'long list of accomplishments includes Division 1 State Championships in girls' volleyball, hockey, gymnastics and the swim relay team. In addition, our students achieved status as National Merit Scholars, All-State Music Award winners, and perfect scorers on national language exams. Clearly, Barnstable High School offers all students the opportunity to achieve their full potential. An excellent, balanced, and diverse edu- cational and socio-emotional program is available for the taking. While high schools are by nature the pinnacle of undergraduate education, each of our foundational programs,preschool through middle school,offer programs and services that reflect our commitment to excellence. When thinking about our own school experi- ences, we may have a picture that is not the most accurate reflection of current school structures. Today, we begin our program offerings with an infant to age three staff child care program which is self-funded. Housed at the Barnstable High School, this program is a benefit to both young teachers and our high school students who are able to acquire child development knowledge and child care skills in an experiential program. Educational programs are also .provided to the special needs and at-risk students ages three to five in preschool programs throughout the district. Before and after school child care programs are offered for children kindergarten through sixth grade as well. As you read about our programs and services, it is evident that schools are not merely educational in nature but offer significant support systems to our working families. That being said, educating our children is the central mission of our schools. Results from the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) indicate strengths as well as areas of needed improvement. In all schools, except the Barnstable Middle School and the Hyannis East Elementary School,we achieved the required Adequate Yearly Progress target established by the State of Massachusetts in both English language arts and math- ematics. The Middle School did not meet the expected improvement in the area of mathematics, particularly for those students in the subgroups of low income and special education.At Hyannis East Elementary School, in the area of English Language Arts,the school did not meet the State criteria. In both schools, the administration and staff have developed focused improvement plans for insuring student progress and success. We accept our professional responsibility to perform at our best so that our students will suc- ceed. 2181 TOWN Of BARNSTABLE _ ANNUAL REPORT 2007 The following three core values of the Barnstable Public Schools' guide our daily behaviors as we strive to meet each and every child's unique needs. • All children have the right to every opportunity to achieve their full potential. • Each person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. • Integrity and personal responsibility are the hallmarks of our daily interactions. During the past year, we have experienced a two percent decline in enrollment. This minor decline does, however, support demographic studies that predict an ongoing drop in enrollment over the next five years. As a result of fewer students in our schools, the School Committee voted to close Osterville Bay Elementary School effective_June 30, 2008. A long range facilities plan for the village elementary schools is a priority. A com- munity planning meeting held in the fall of 2006 indicated a strong commitment to the elementary village school structure while at the same time noting concerns for the increased costs in sustaining these nine buildings throughout Barnstable. We continue to work with the Massachusetts School Building Authority in seeking financial support and simultaneously addressing ongoing maintenance and improvement of our school buildings through locally funded capital improvement projects. Funding schools,be it in the area of facilities or educational programs,always seems to result in a dynamic tension between what is needed and what is available. The budget approved during the past fiscal year for the 2007-08 school year required cutting nearly $700,000. It was our desire to provide a"level service"program'from the 2006-07 school year to the 2007-08 school year. That was not possible. The hundreds of thousands of dollars in reductions resulted in the elimination of classroom teaching positions and enrichment programs. Also eliminated were one central office administrator and one support person and various supports such as curriculum data teams. Our financial goals are to develop a budget that meets the demands of a dynamic twenty-first century educa- tional program, to eliminate fees, and to live within our financial means. Thus, the dynamic tension! In closing, I would be remiss at not thanking our faculty and staff for their ongoing commitment to children and for the many extra initiatives they provide to connect with and nurture our students. Additionally, I wish to thank the community for the tremen- dous support directed to our schools both from the taxpayers as well as the businesses. Finally, I would like to recognize and congratulate the Town of Barnstable for the excep- tional working relationship that exists between the municipal and educational depart- ments. It is truly a credit to the Town Manager, Town Council Members, the School Committee and Administration. In my many years as a school administrator I have never worked in such a collaborative environment. It is little wonder why Barnstable was cho- sen as a 2007 All America City, one of the 100 Best Communities for Families and Children,and the recipient of the Kenneth E.Pickard Award for the consolidation model of school and municipal human resource services and finance development. ;,— Respectfully submitted, x N , h X `^, Patricia B.

C 2241 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2007 CAPE COD REGIONAL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT Cape Cod Regional Technical High School was established in 1973 as a public technical high school that divides student learning time between academic classes and technical training. For the 2006-2007 school year we had 686 students enrolled in 18 different technical fields from our 12 sending towns with an operating budget of$11,086,903. William N. Fisher completed his first year as the Superintendent/Director of Cape Cod Tech and he is a 28-year veteran administrator at Cape Cod Tech. Mr. Leonard Phelan, former Assistant Principal at Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School completed his first year as Principal. Cape Cod Regional Technical High School graduated 127 students in June of 2007 and 26 graduates plan on attending 4-year colleges, 49 graduates plan on attending 2-year colleges, 41 graduates have obtained jobs upon graduation and 6 have joined the mili- tary. Cape Cod Tech has been able to make significant progress in raising student perfor- mance on the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) and our school again met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) with the 2006 MCAS exam. In addition to our renewable energy program, the Cape Cod Tech School Committee has approved the lease/purchase of the first tri-generation system for energy savings in a public facility in this country and installation should-be completed this fall. This system, once it is in place,will reduce our electric energy consumption by more than 40%and our heating costs by 25-30% each year. This new concept demonstrates Cape Cod Tech's commitment to reducing annual energy consumption and that we are doing everything we can to reduce our energy costs. Capital improvements for the FY`07 included replace- ment of Cape Cod Tech's gym floor and the renovation of the 4th of our 4 science labo- ratories. Our Adult Education program had another excellent year under part-time coordinator, Ron Broman, who has made a tremendous impact on the quality and quantity in the courses we offer. For FY`07 we ran over 40 courses with approximately 34 residents from Barnstable participating during the Fall of 2006 and Spring of 2007. SkillsUSA is a national organization serving students enrolled in technical programs. This year our students brought home 13 gold, 11 silver, and 4 bronze medals in the district competition, 3 gold, 5 silver, and 7 bronze in the state competition, and in the national competition, we brought home a silver medal in Marine Service Technology and placed 5th out of 35 national Web Design teams. Cape Cod Tech provides money saving projects for our district and community and these projects not only save thousands of dollars, but also provide our students with real life work experience in a supervised setting. For the 2006-2007 school year, the total estimated value of the savings to our sending towns from work completed by Cape Tech's technical shops was in excess of$869,000.
