It was in early spring that we responded to an invitation to compete in the National Civic League's All-America City Competition.The National Civic League was established by Theodore Roosevelt in 1894 to highlight and foster civic engage- ment. The lengthy journey from preparing our application to months of rehearsals brought us all the way to California last June where we competed and won the All- America City Award. And then last fall, it was on to Washington, D.C. joining Senator John Kerry and Congressman Bill Delahunt in receiving . national recognition.

Barnstable. community, making us This very special place we call home. We know about citizenship and truly an All-America City. teamwork and community spirit and pride. We see it all the time. Barnstable is a community that honors the past and welcomes the future. We are blessed with incredible natural resources making us a worldwide destination. But what makes us truly unique is the fabric of our people and the individuality of our villages. 'We are blessed with so many citizens who give back to our community, making us truly an All-America City. We honor several people tonight, and in so doing, we honor all of you, our volunteers, our employees, our citizens. Folks who choose to make a difference in our community.We turn this evening to three stories. Three people. Three individuals, each of whom has improved our community in so many ways. They are veterans at what they do bringing years of experience to their chosen careers while never forgetting that we change this world one person at a time. And so we start this evening by honoring a veteran public servant. A veteran's veteran. An individual who has dedicated his life in service to our nation's veterans. He has never forgotten the lessons of war, because he was there in Viet Nam serving his country honorably. And when he came home, he committed his life to making sure we never forgot his brothers and sisters, our brothers and sisters. How noble a calling to serve those who have served our country.And who is it that has helped so many?His name is Sidney L. Chase. We know him both as Sid and Larry. Larry has ANNUAL REPORT 2008 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 13 chosen to make a difference on Cape Cod. All you have to do is ask any one of the thousands of veterans Larry has helped over the years and they will tell you the truth. Larry Chase is truly an unsung hero. He quietly and effectively has made sure that every veteran is treated with the dignity and respect that they have so earned. And he has done it the only way he knows how. One veteran at a time. Please join me in recognizing and thanking Larry Chase. Barnstable is an All-America City because of people like Larry. And our community, of course, includes our precious youth. Our children. Where there is youth, there is hope. And who do we expect to guide, influence and teach our young? It is, of course, our teachers. We are blessed in Barnstable with educators who make a difference in the lives of our children. In honoring the hun- dreds of our teaching corps, we turn now to one. It has been said, "our dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth. Well, this teacher has tugged, and pushed and led and poked thousands of our youth in his extraordinary career. Some of them have made it all the way to Hollywood and Broadway and others have gained the self-confidence and self-respect that have helped them for a lifetime in Barnstable. He is a teacher, a coach, a coup-. selor, a director, a mentor, a friend. His name is John Sullivan and he is making a difference in Barnstable the only way he knows how. One student at a time. Ladies and Gentlemen. Please join me in honoring and thanking John Sullivan. Barnstable is an All-America City because of people like John Sullivan and Larry Chase. But Barnstable, like other communities, has its share of problems. Like other communities, we are challenged with issues like homelessness and poverty and domestic violence. We are meeting these challenges because of the commitment of our dedicated employees. The scourge of domestic violence is a case in point. In 1994,we witnessed nine domestic violence related deaths in Barnstable which brought unfortunate national attention to our Town. This startling reality served as a springboard for the creation of a full-time domestic violence specialist within the Barnstable Police Department. The primary role of the specialist is to provide out- reach and follow-up services for victims of domestic violence. Creating the job was one thing—finding just the right person to fill it, quite another. In 2000, the Police Department hired the ideal person for the job when we hired Natalie Dupuis. In Natalie's eight years with the Department, she has shared her expertise and knowl- edge of domestic violence with officers, victims, batterers and citizens. To work in Natalie's field requires a passion, a hope and a belief that if we all work together we can end domestic violence. So Natalie's passion extends beyond her job at the Barnstable Police Department, as she vol- unteers to serve on panels and community service projects to bring about awareness of domestic violence. She is recognized at the State level for her expertise in Domestic y: Violence and Victim Advocacy. She has been the recipi- ent of awards through the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, through Independence Housc and from the Town of Barnstable. 14 I TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2008 She has been the champion for victims of domestic violence helping them dis- cover hope. Perhaps it is best summed up by the words of a victim in a letter to Natalie: "Thank you for your time and effort and your belief in me. I am safe now. The losses have been hard, but I am still alive. I am sure I am one in a thousand on your list. Thank you for your help,giving me a chance again. You will not be forgot- ten." No—Natalie will not be forgotten—she will be remembered by victims of domes- tic abuse and more broadly by a grateful community who knows Natalie as a woman who serves her community with compassion,commitment, intelligence and perhaps, most importantly, with hope. Natalie Dupuis is an extraordinary example of the dedication and commitment that we see all the time from our Town employees.Natalie has chosen to make a dif- ference in Barnstable. She does it the only way she knows how. One person at a time. Ladies and Gentlemen, please join me and recog- nizing and thanking Natalie Dupuis. - Barnstable is an All-America City because of se,n people like Natalie Dupuis,John Sullivan,Larry Chase " and so many more. T FY 2008: A YEAR OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS Tonight we assemble to assess the state of our Town. The foundation of our evaluation rests with the strategic plan of the Town Council which states in part,"...to provide the best possible services consistent within our hnrlget pnliry." We strive to prnvirle the highest quality services and programs possible. Following the lead of Councilors Hank Farnham and Jim Munafo, we also take our fiduciary responsibility very seri- ously. That's why we continue to be one of the few Massachusetts communities to receive the prestigious Government Finance Officers Budgeting Award and Financial Reporting Award. Our Town Council has made it clear.Financial accountability and responsibility is.the highest priority. Of the State's 351 cities and towns, Barnstable is one of nine 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 economy. Our dedicated Town and District employees are second to none.They've.done a terrific job providing quality services in financially challenging times. Our Departments of Public Works, Growth Management, Regulatory Services, Administrative Services, Community Services, our Police Department and Airport have given their all, again this year. Our dedicated School Committee and School Superintendent and staff have done an extraordinary job in advancing academic excellence in our school system. Our schools'non-negotiables remain academic suc- cess, safe school environments and meeting the needs of our students. As a community, we are blessed with libraries that cultivate and foster our intel- lect. 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. I would be remiss if I did not recognize a good friend who is retir- ing after having served the citizens of Cotuit so well for so many years. Please join ANNUAL REPORT 2008 - TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 15 me in recognizing and thanking Barnstable's own Chief Paul Frazier, for his distin- guished public service. At the County level, our County Commissioners, District Attorney, Sheriff and other County officials are working hard for all of us and we thank them for their cooperation. And we are so fortunate to have a legislative delegation that not only understands our needs but fights for us on Beacon Hill. In Fiscal Year 2008, our staff has worked hard to get the job done. In Community,Services, we have broken ground on our new Youth and Community Center, with our Hyannis delegation of Councilors Tobey, Munafo, JamesTinsley and Greg Milne, and our expanded Senior Center. In Growth Management, working with Councilors Joakim, Fred Chirogotis and Tom Rugo, we are protecting the unique and special area of Craigville Beach and Centerville Village.We are also working with our partners at the Hyannis and Cape Cod Chambers of Commerce and the Hyannis Main Street B.I.D., to continue to see thoughtful Downtown Hyannis redevelopment, even with a national recession. We have leased out the South Street Armory parcel to a non-profit group and are wit- nessing a private sector initiative to bring a world class Performing Arts Center to our Town and we just formally dedicated the Shirley Blair Flynn Center for the Creative Arts, a campus of town-owned properties providing artist living, work and gallery space. Our Department of Public Works is implementing our Coastal Access Plan, thanks to the support of Councilor Jim Crocker and our Town Council, which will improve coastal access to our citizens.And a terrific staff is there fixing our roads.and studying our roads policies, under the guidance of Councilors Leah Curtis and Ann Canedy. Our Regulatory Services Department continues to oversee a high level of rede- velopment ensuring that buildings we construct are safe, the environment is pro- tected and public health is ensured. And our Administrative Services Department continues to provide the highest level of professionalism in public administration. 411 CIVIC ENGAGEMENT IS A HIGH PRIORITY � x But no matter what, our entire Town staff continues to understand that open and transparent and effective government, in combination with E an informed citizenry, is essential. Over the past year, civic engagement continued to be an important priority. We implemented outreach mea- sures with more than 4,000 households now receiving our monthly news- letter. Our website, rated the 4th best in the State, is seen by thousands of #- residents each month.We continue to conduct our annual citizen survey, our talk shows, our village meetings with our civic associations, 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 continued 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 were too busy and are no longer ' interested in local government. Ladies and Gentlemen, since 2003, we have over 300 graduates and they're still lining up to take the course. 16 I TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2008 The overwhelming success of the Academy is due,not onlyto the commitment of our professional staff, but to P � the Program's coordinators who have done an extraordi- nary job organizing our Academy each semester. I would like to acknowledge them for their outstanding service to our Town, please join me in thanking Me Loughran and J g g g Sue French and recognizing this semester's graduating class of the Academy. BARNSTABLE WINS NATIONAL 1 RECOGNITION It was just that commitment to civic engagement that brought us to Anaheim, California in June to compete in the All-America City competition.When we traveled to California we had our doubts about how we would stack up against major cities throughout the United States. We know what makes Barnstable special, and we were challenged to tell our story of downtown revitaliza- tion,affordable housing and youth initiatives to the National Civic League.We were 47 strong in California but each of us knew we were representing hundreds of town employees, citizen volunteers, and 50 thousand residents who dearly love this Town we call home. Barnstable. This was our journey to California and back. This is why we are an All-America City. FISCAL YEAR 2009: WE'LL BE BUSY NEXT YEAR We'll be busy next year. We will continue to work on traffic issues,working with Councilors Joakim, Rugo, Crocker, and Rick Barry, on affordable housing, comple- tion of capital projects already underway, and work with our boards and commissions to address on-going issues.Additionally tonight,we introduce a six-point action plan designed to be responsive to your concerns.Our plan of action is designed to advance civic engagement, to foster the greening and sustainability of Barnstable, focus on. public safety, advance our shellfish industry and examine our form of government. 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,,- communities in Massachusetts. We have been told by other cities and towns in the Commonwealth that we go the extra mile when it comes to civic engagement. But we continue to search for ways to make Barnstable better. You said you wanted to see more Town Boards and Committees on television, so we have increased the number of committees televised.You said you wanted them to play more often,so we did just that.You told us that you are not always able to watch the programming live, so we introduced 24 hour a day video streaming and on demand programming. Soon we will be able to broadcast live from a second site, our Selectmen's Conference Room, meaning that many more meetings will be tele- vised. And now you have told us that even when you can watch,you might not always have 3-4 hours to watch an entire program. But you still want to know what is going on.So we went back to the drawing board,and came up with yet another innovation. ANNUAL REPORT 2008 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 17 _ Starting in May 2008 you will have access to an abbreviated summary of town gov- ernment happenings, meetings and events. You will be able to watch this new pro- gram on Channel 18 at standard daily times or review it anytime during the day on our award-winning website. The program will be a ten minute recap of government happenings in our Town. We may simply call it Barnstable Today. However, before we finally decide, we invite you to offer your naming and content suggestions by going to our website and clicking on the Barnstable Today icon to register your suggestions. So for now Fellow Citizens: meet Barnstable Today. BARNSTABLE: A GREEN COMMUNITY Second, we have come far in the area of energy efficiency, thanks to our dedi- cated Town Council, School Committee, DPW and School employees and our former Green Team.But Barnstable can always do better.With ever increasing finan- cial challenges and $4.00 per gallon fuel, we must continue to do more. That is why we are instituting a pilot project next year in our Department of Public Works to reduce fuel usage by another 10 percent through better and more efficient planning. We will also reinstitute the Green Team. In addition, we must push the envelope in terms of green building technology and sustainability. It was a proud day on January 18th when we broke ground for our new Youth and Community Center. We have all seen the plans and we are off and running. But what you may not know, is that we have made a few changes to the original plan. Recognizing that our Center will be a large energy consumer and will be a community showcase, we decided to make some changes to the original plans that would make our former Green Team proud. So Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to re-introduce you to our Hyannis Youth and Community Center. A Center with youth programming that we can all be proud of in a much greener building than originally planned.With so many young people using this building,what a wonderful learning experience for them,and all of us,about the need for environmental sustain' ability. The new center will now include solar panels, roof mounted wind turbines and a natural gas powered cogeneration unit for electricity and heat which will reduce our electrical use on the grid. Please join me in recognizing Mark Ells, Bud Breault and John Juros of the DPW for their commitment to sustainability. SHELLFISHING: OUR LOCAL INDUSTRY Third, we recognize that we have indus- tries here that are important to us historically. is R Cranberry farming and fishing are two that come to mind. But are we doing enough for a portion of our fishing industry that has both commercial and recreational implications, our -y shellfishing industry. We owe our thanks to '� Pry d m x. � Barnstable County,the Three Bays Preservation Group,Barnstable Association for Recreational Shellfishing, or B.A.R.S., Cape Cod Oyster n w . Company and others who contribute their 18 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2008 3� money and volunteer efforts to support our shellfish program. We recently learned just how many citizens enjoy or depend on the shellfishing industry during a recent Town Council debate.But can we do more to foster and 1 strengthen this industry? The answer is yes. So starting next year, I am proposing a Shellfish Enhancement Program, that would be implemented j^ with significant additional funds over the next two years, that not only will benefit our commercial and recreational shellfishing interests, but will -systems and a cleaner environment, as well. promote healthy marine eco COMMUNITY SAFETY Fourth, for the first time in years, we will be at full force in our Police Department with the hiring of five new officers.The major shift by Chief Paul MacDonald to put every available officer on the streets and in the neighborhoods means we will have a safer community. In addition,Chief MacDonald has implemented a new commitment to comprehensive staff training in important areas like domestic violence, that we heard about earlier.Our Police Department,has set a new standard of excellence in real community policing. We have opened a new downtown Hyannis Police Substation and proudly are one of the few Massachusetts communities to achieve law enforce- ment accreditation through both federal and state Accreditation agencies. I am so proud of our Police Department for their accomplishments. Representing Chief MacDonald, please join me in recognizing Deputies Craig Tamash and Mike Martin and Accreditation Committee Chair Ralph Cahoon. We will see their commitment to community policing expand even further next year. GRANTS COORDINATOR Next,our financial challenges continue to grow. So, I will propose a budget next year that includes the addition of a new position of Grants Coordinator.The position would be funded from existing resources to implement an aggressive and comprehen- sive grants effort. We know our needs far outweigh our resources.We must search out every county, state, federal and private resource to help us meet our needs. We have done well with grants in the past, but we can do more. We need a person to spend time continuously monitoring legislative and executive initiatives and programs so that every one of our Departments is aware of every grant opportunity out there. You can't receive a grant if you don't apply. Let's make sure we become experts in seeking any and all funding opportunities. GOVERNMENT REVIEW And finally,we supported the approval of a Charter Commission last year because periodic governmental review is not only healthy, but necessary. Our Charter Commission has been busy visiting the villages to seek public input.It is their respon- sibility not only to ask for your input, but to listen, as well. We hope that you will let them know how you feel about our local government and how we might improve it.
