We capped off the Town's events with a Founders' Day Picnic on the Hyannis Village Green on September 21, 2015,
an event that attracted nearly 2,500 people of all walks of life who enjoyed the picnic fare,fun games, and birthday cake. A

Over the past fiscal year, members of the CAC worked with the Cape Cod Commission in the
finalizing of the Area Wide Water Quality Management Plan update,pursuant to Chapter 208 of the
federal Clean Water Act. This extensive project is expected to produce an overall wastewater and
nutrient management planning process for the Town and our surrounding communities. This watershed-
based planning process and the enforcement mechanisms implicit therein are expected to significantly
enhance our ability to work with abutting towns in solving shared problems.
Working within the Cape Cod Commissions DCPC framework and with consultants on both a
local and national level, the CAC also finalized a proposed fertilizer ordinance for the Town,which was
adopted by the Town Council; and we continued our examination of the possible expansion of shellfish
aquaculture to help address the degradation in our coastal embayments, including work on a specific area
in Osterville.
We are grateful for the guidance and technical assistance we have received from the Town's Senior
Project Manager, Dr. Dale Saad, and the Town's engineering consultant,Nate Weeks, of GHD-Steams&

financial aid to Barnstable residents.
The source of funding for the

The Martin J. Flynn/Town of Barnstable Scholarship Committee awarded $6000.00 this year to ten very
deserving applicants, each receiving $6,000. The worthy students were:

We urge our taxpayers to check off the box on their tax bill and enclose a donation to this most worthy
cause. A dollar bill from each taxpayer would enable us to award more monies so that our town residents
could enjoy some financial freedom from the rising cost of college educations. If you would like to contribute
to the fund outside of your tax bill, you may do so by sending a check to the Town Manager's office at the
address listed below. Please make checks payable to the Town of Barnstable and include Martin Flynn
