Cape Cod Regional Technical High School (CCRTHS)
presented information on the proposed new $141 Million
CCRTHS on February 6, 2017. The estimated assessment for
Barnstable is about $1.8 million per year for 30 years. The
Town Clerks in each community had been contacted about
an override vote. The project had to be approved by a
majority of voter’s district wide – not a majority of member
towns. The Town Council does not have to approve to place
the vote on a ballot. The district has this authority under
the regional agreement. A special election was held on
September 19, 2017 giving Barnstable voters the opportunity
to authorize the assessment to be excluded from Prop 2½.
The Prop 2½ debt exclusion override passed. The vote
passed on in all district towns during an October 24, 2017
special election. Finance Director Milne and I met with
Cape Cod Tech and the other communities in the Cape Cod
Tech’s district to discuss financing options for their new high
school. The Cape Cod Tech bond advisors provided a series
of options for borrowing for the group to review.
– Mark S. Ells, Town Manager
Our Cape Cod community was rocked by the tragic
death in April 2018 of Yarmouth K-9 Sgt. Sean Gannon
while serving an arrest warrant in the village of Marstons
Mills with members of the Cape Cod SWAT Team and
Barnstable Police Department. Our thoughts and prayers are
with the Gannon Family, the Town of Yarmouth, Yarmouth
Police Department, Barnstable Police Department,
Centerville-Osterville-Marstons Mills Fire Department, and
all who were so deeply affected by this tragedy.
Fiscal Year 2018 has been another busy year in the Town
of Barnstable. This year’s Annual Report theme is: Seven
Villages, One Town, One Mission. With one of the largest
and environmentally sensitive geographic areas in the
Commonwealth that serves a diverse demographic of
residents and visitors, Barnstable is truly a unique and
complex community. Barnstable serves as the economic,
transportation, health care, education, and government
center for the region. We are home to almost 50,000 year
round residents. That number more than doubles as our
seasonal residents arrive and we welcome millions of visitors
to our community as we serve as a vacation destination. Our
seven villages, five fire districts, four water districts, seven
independent not-for-profit libraries, multiple public and
private educational institutions further add to the complexity
of Barnstable.
The Barnstable Town Council sets its Strategic Plan in
an effort to provide the Town Manager and staff with a
community vision focused on protecting the Town of
Barnstable’s quality of life and unique character, engaging our
citizens, and enacting policies that respond to and anticipate
the needs of our community. We use the Mission Statement
and Strategic Plan as a guide throughout the year in how we
prepare and deliver a balanced budget and Town services.
We proceeded with the tasks in the budget action
calendar for FY 2019. We commenced review of the
organizational structures and resource allocation as they align
with the Town Council mission statement, strategic plan and
goals for our community. For information on our fiscal year

We had cooperative and productive discussions with the
County about issues relating to contamination of the Mary
Dunn wells. We worked with the County Administrator on
receiving authorization to install test wells on the County
Farm property for evaluations as a potential future well site.

protecting the Town of Barnstable’s quality

TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 13
On August 3rd Town Councilors and I met with
Massachusetts Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs
(EOEEA) Matt Beaton to discuss the potential for future
water supply wells to be located on the Massachusetts
Department of Fish & Wildlife (MDFW) property in
Hyannis. That meeting resulted in a meeting with
Commissioner Ronald Amidon and Fish & Wildlife staff on
September 13, 2017 in their Westborough office to discuss
proceeding with evaluation of the Fish & Wildlife property
east/northeast of the Hyannis Water Supply. The meeting
resulted in an agreement to proceed with a cooperative
evaluation (state and town) of the impacts of future potential
water supply wells on the Kettle Ponds in the area. U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS) has been engaged by MDFW to
provide technical support in evaluating various scenarios of
water withdrawal and its effect on the kettle pond system.
Tom Camberari, Director of Water Resources for the Cape
Cod Commission, will provide assistance as we move forward
with evaluating the future potential use of this resource. We
met with the MDFW, USGS, Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection (MassDEP) Water Supply,
EOEEA, and Cape Cod Commission staff on December 13,
2017 to discuss future potential water supply wells proposed
on the 250 acre parcel northeast of the Hyannis Water
System. The meeting included a review of information
relevant to the Hyannis Ponds complex, recent
hydrogeological investigations in the area, and a general
discussion regarding next steps to continue our evaluation of
this site for potential future water supply. We anticipate
sending an access agreement for the installation of test wells
to Fish & Wildlife for review. USGS will develop a draft
scope of work for analysis/modeling needed including
additional data needed and agreed to distribute before the
next meeting for review. Access agreements have been
signed by the Town and pending Fish & Wildlife signature to
allow for use of existing wells or the installation on new test
wells. We also plan to proceed with authorization of the
joint agreement between the Town, Fish & Wildlife, and
USGS to complete a preliminary assessment of locating
potential future public water supply wells on the Fish &
Wildlife property.
Our Planning & Development Department launched a
redesigned “Business Barnstable” website and a Barnstable
Business Guide. The Business Barnstable website is an
online resource to assist with new business startup or
expansion. The Barnstable Business Guide is a permitting
guide for starting a business in Barnstable with links to
important permitting, licensing and zoning contacts, forms
and checklists.
Our senior management staff is collectively developing a
customer service policy and customer survey mechanism in
support of our continued efforts to provide the highest quality
of service to our residents, businesses and visitors.
TOWN MANAGER REPORT
On October 5, 2017 the Hyannis HyArts Cultural
District was renewed. Barnstable has two cultural districts
in Barnstable. Barnstable Village Cultural District is the
other district and is in its third year.
We continue our efforts with the Towns of Mashpee
and Sandwich on an Inter Municipal Agreement (IMA) for
Watershed Permitting in Popponesset Bay and have
commenced similar discussions with Yarmouth relative to
Lewis Bay. Mashpee and Sandwich are proceeding with the
intent to finalize the IMA in the near future. Yarmouth is
in the early stages of discussion with Barnstable on this
matter.
We have continued our discussions with Vineyard
Wind regarding their proposed wind farm installation and
the potential to landfall in Barnstable or Yarmouth then
connect to the substations in Barnstable. They have
requested staff support to evaluate potential routes and
locations for substations as well as a letter of interest by the
Town. I met with the Yarmouth Town Manager regarding
the Vineyard Wind proposed wind farm installation and the
potential to landfall in Barnstable or Yarmouth then
connect to the substations in Barnstable. We have agreed
to coordinate our discussions regarding this proposal as it is
in the best interest of our communities. They have
requested the Town’s support relative to the Zoning
Exemption Petition that they have filed with the
Department of Public Utilities (DPU) and to enter into
negotiations of a Host Community Agreement. We agreed
to continue discussions with Vineyard Wind on this
proposal. The Energy Facilities Siting Board (EFSB) will
conduct a public comment hearing on the Petitions of
Vineyard Wind to construct transmission facilities that
would interconnect with a proposed off-shore windfarm in
federal waters. Specifically, the Vineyard Wind Petitions
request EFSB/DPU approval to: (1) install a total of
approximately 27 miles of new onshore and offshore
220-kilowatt (“kV”) electric transmission line, which would
come ashore in Barnstable or Yarmouth, and then travel
underground to a new electric substation in Barnstable; (2)
construct the proposed new substation in Barnstable; and
(3) install a 0.1-mile underground 115 kV transmission line
connecting the new substation to the existing Barnstable
Substation in Barnstable, Massachusetts.
The Town of Barnstable Police Department (BPD) has
been in the process of upgrading its dispatch center. With
recent changes in the routing of 911 calls directly to the
BPD and the potential to centralize dispatch for both
Hyannis Fire and Barnstable Police, improvements are
anticipated in response time for both emergency responders.
We signed into the Intergovernmental Agreement for
Communications, Dispatch and Operations Services with
the Hyannis Fire Department in February.
14 ANNUAL REPORT
Our Regulatory Services Department sent a letter to all
registered Accessory Affordable Apartments stating the
following; “The Comprehensive Permit which allows for your
Accessory Affordable Apartment requires the apartment (s)
to be inspected each year. Beginning January 1, 2018, the
Town of Barnstable Health Division will be registering and
inspecting all apartments approved under the AAA Program
annually. All rental registrations expire by December 31st
each year.”
We sent a letter in coordination with our Superintendent
of Schools to the Commissioner of Elementary & Secondary
Education supporting the approval of an Environmental
Science & Technology program at Barnstable High School.
We conducted a conference call with the Department of
Education in an effort to advance their consideration of
approving this program. We have reached out to the Cape
delegation for their support as well.
We have met with the Town of Yarmouth Town Manager
and staff regarding the Community Compact Cabinet grant
we from the state and reviewed a proposed scope of work
regarding the regional wastewater options.
The Standard & Poor’s rating and report on our bond
sale of $10.6 million was assigned a AAA rating to this issue
and affirmed the AAA on all outstanding debt. We received
10 bids at our bond sale. The low bid came in at 2.73%.
This is essentially the same rate we received on our 2017 sale
in a rising interest rate market. Our competitiveness in the
marketplace resulted in these favorable results.
We are required by Town Charter, state law and bond
covenants to conduct an annual financial statement audit.
We have received the audited financial statements for the
Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2017 and the two accompanying
documents – Reports on Federal Awards Programs and a
Management Letter. I am pleased to report that the town’s
financial statements received an unmodified opinion (or
clean opinion) and there are no questioned costs or findings
associated with federal grant expenditures. These three
documents were added to the Finance Division area of the
town’s website.
The team of staff from the Town, in support of the
airport’s Request for Proposal for the KMART plaza,
continues to meet on a regular basis with airport staff to
prepare the Request for Proposals (RFP), develop the form of
lease and other critical documents associated with the
eventual offer of a lease for the 27-acre KMART plaza to a
future developer. Because of the critical role that this parcel
plays in Town wide development and planning within the
Route 132 corridor and in providing meaningful and
predictable financial support to the airport operations, the
team has met with the FAA, a number of consultants and
land attorneys to make sure that the process is fully vetted.
We met with Governor Charlie Baker, EOEEA Secretary
Matthew Beaton, the Cape delegation, Eversource, County
and Local officials to discuss the ongoing efforts to respond to
severe weather events that result in power outages and other
impacts. We agreed to continue the discussion to improve
emergency service during such events to improve
responsiveness and ensure safety of our residents.
We received notification of our community’s designation
as a Housing Choice Community. Designation allows our
community access to new financial resources including access
to Housing Choice Capital Grants, and preferential
treatment for many state grant and capital funded programs.
The Town of Barnstable was informed that it received
approval of an Opportunity Zone designation for the census
tract which encompasses the historic Main Street corridor,
harbor district, four major retail centers, and a regional
industrial park. The U.S. Treasury Department informed the
Baker-Polito Administration that all of Massachusetts’
Opportunity Zone designations that were submitted by the
state have been approved. This decision is the culmination of
several months’ engagement with local, state and federal
officials, and potential investors, resulting in Governor
Baker’s formal recommendation of 138 Opportunity Zone
designations, the maximum number allowed under the new
program. The federally-approved tracts are located in 79
communities spread across the state. The Opportunity Zone
program presents an opportunity for private, tax-advantaged
investment into areas of economic need, benefiting both
residents living in the zones and private investors. The
Opportunity Zone program provides a federal tax incentive
for taxpayers who reinvest unrealized capital gains into
‘Opportunity Funds,’ which are specialized vehicles dedicated
to investing in Opportunity Zones.
The Town of Barnstable’s Planning & Development
Department, in cooperation with the Land Acquisition and
Preservation Committee, completed a final draft of the 2018
Open Space and Recreation Plan. The plan allows the
community to identify and evaluate goals, challenges,
opportunities and priorities for open space protection, land
management, and the provision of recreational opportunities.
Planning for our Town’s “green infrastructure” of water, land,
forests, wildlife habitat, parks, recreation areas, and trails is
important to our economic future, community identity, and
quality of life. The plan is developed to comply with
guidance from the Massachusetts Division of Conservation
Services and will be submitted to that agency for approval.
The draft plan was supported by input from a community
survey (570 completed surveys), three community
stakeholder meetings and input from Town staff in multiple
departments; and relevant Town Boards, Committees and
Commissions. The final draft received all necessary letters of
support.
TOWN MANAGER REPORT
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 15
In closing this annual report we could not accomplish
our financial/operational agenda without dedicated Town and
District employees. Our employees have given their all again
this year. The School Committee, School Superintendent
and staff have done an extraordinary job in advancing
excellence in our school system. We are grateful to our Fire
and Water District professionals as they work to preserve and
protect our health and safety. County, State, and Federal
representatives work with us to bring resources to the local
government. Barnstable has a legacy of commitment to
others and we are a stronger community because of their
service.
Our budgets and resulting municipal services seek to
improve the quality of life of our residents, ensure public
safety, protect our natural resources, provide a quality public
education system, and deliver government services
efficiently. We face the same economic challenges
confronting other communities, and through prudent
planning, we are able to meet our basic needs. In FY2018,
we have again maintained our fiscal stability, spent within
our means, and prudently planned for our financial future.
Our tasks remain balancing the needs in our community,
setting realistic priorities, and providing a climate for a
quality of life that addresses Barnstable’s needs and is built
on respect and opportunity for all.

58 ANNUAL REPORT
FINANCIAL INTEGRITY FOR BARNSTABLE The financial operations are responsible
for safeguarding the financial assets of
the Town of Barnstable through the use of
professional financial practices in order
to preserve and enhance the Town’s
financial integrity.
PURPOSE STATEMENT
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN FY18:
• Working with the Comprehensive Financial Advisory
Committee issued the third Financial Overview Report
that summarizes the budget into an easy to read and
concise 12 page document
• Received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award
from the Government Finance Officers Association
(GFOA) for the FY18 operating budget document
• Received the Certificate in Achievement for Excellence
in Financial Reporting for its comprehensive annual
financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ending June
30, 2017
• Received an “clean” audit opinion on the Town’s fiscal
year 2017 financial statements
• Changed the Capital Project submission review process
making it more efficient than previous years
• Identified additional resources to enhance the Town’s
capital program increasing the estimated funding level to
$130 million over the next 10 years
• Facilitated the discussion of the financial impacts to the
Town from the Regional Technical High School’s new
building construction that resulted in a successful debt
exclusion override and no impact on town services
The following pages include abbreviated financial
statements for the Town of Barnstable on June 30, 2018
and for the year then ended. These financial statements
have been prepared from the pre-closing trial balance of the
Town’s financial management system for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 2018. Due to the timing of the issuance of
the annual report all year end closing transactions cannot
be incorporated. These statements reflect the Town’s
financial position in accordance with the Uniform
Municipal Accounting System (UMAS) promulgated by
the Department of Revenue. The issuance of the Town’s
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) will
include all closing transactions and will be audited by an
independent auditor. We anticipate this report to be issued
in December 2018. The Town’s FY18 CAFR will be
available for reading and downloading on the Town’s web
site by early January 2018.

Schedule of Long-Term Debt
FINANCE OPERATIONS
76 ANNUAL REPORT
It is the policy of the Town of Barnstable that,
providing due regard to the safety and possible risk of
investments, that the management of all available funds
shall be in conformance with Commonwealth of
Massachusetts legal and administrative guidelines. The
Town’s investment portfolio is designed and managed in a
disciplined, quality focused manner responsive to the public
trust and consistent with state and local laws.
In addition to managing the Town’s general fund and
investment portfolios, under the direction of the Town
Manager and with input from the Trust Fund Advisory
Committee (TFAC), the Treasurer also oversees the
investment of the Town’s trust fund accounts. The Town of
Barnstable currently has custodianship of thirty-one trust
funds with a market value of $31,604,206 as of June 30,
2018.
Another primary responsibility within the Treasurer’s
office is producing the weekly town payroll and biweekly
school payroll for approximately 2,500 full, part-time and
seasonal employees, including processing extensive
contractual adjustments and oversight and management of
all employee deductions.
FY 2018 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
• The Town’s “AAA” Bond Rating from Standard & Poor’s
rating agency was reaffirmed. “AAA” is the highest rating
possible and is a major factor in Barnstable receiving
more bidders on our bonds and a lower interest rate when
borrowing for our capital projects.
• Completed a $9,875,000 General Obligation Bond (GOB)
borrowing with a competitive interest rate of 2.73%
involving thirteen new money authorizations including
sidewalk/guardrail repairs, golf course improvements, various
water projects, shooting range improvements, school facility
upgrades and equipment purchases.
• Completed a $2,575,770 General Obligation Borrowing
Anticipation Note (BAN) with an interest rate of 2.0% for
expenditures related to several private road repair projects
and airport runway reconstruction.
• Managed the procurement of debt and debt repayment
processes based on Town Council’s approval of loans for
all of the Town’s infrastructure and other capital projects.
Debt payments were in excess of $17,700,000 for over 160
different projects during FY 2018.
• Worked with the Cape Cod Municipal Health Group, as a
Steering Committee member, to implement a new Health
Savings Account plan as an additional insurance option for
town and employee shared cost savings.
• As a member of the Trust Fund Advisory Committee, I
worked with officers of the Cape and Island’s Chapter,
Korean War Veterans Association and town management
for the successful transfer of ownership of the Korean War
Memorial at Veterans Park to the Town of Barnstable.
• The Trust Fund Advisory Committee assisted DPW staff,
Library Directors and the Town Manager to facilitate the
disbursement of $230,000 from the Kirkman Trust Fund for
expenditure by our Cemetery Division for beautification and
enhancements for the Town’s cemeteries and by our seven
libraries for program and service improvements and upgrades.
• Collected over $1,500,000 additional revenue from
delinquent real estate tax payments using a new software
program and collection campaign in preparation of a tax lien
sale auction.
The Treasury office staff members ably serve our
customers who include all town and school department
employees, local, state and federal agencies and the general
public.
I would like to express my appreciation to the members
of the Treasury office: Assistant Treasurer JoAnna
Callahan; Payroll Coordinator Samantha Garfield; Payroll

ASSESSING OPERATIONS
78 ANNUAL REPORT
Since its establishment in 1999, the Procurement and
Risk Management program provides guidance and direction
in various key areas to all municipal departments including
the school department and enterprise accounts. These areas
of assistance include: Procurement expertise, Energy/Utility
information, contract support, sourcing guidance, tenant
management, Risk Management/Loss control, and claims
assistance.
PROCUREMENT
Johanna Boucher, the Town’s Chief Procurement
Officer, administers and oversees the Procurement Function
for the Municipality. This program manages the
procurement support operation and offers support in the
preparation and administration of bids, generation of
contracts, sourcing information, and access to State
Contracts. The goal of this effort is to ensure that funds are
spent in the most cost effective means possible. Johanna
also ensures the Town’s compliance with the complicated
and extensive Purchasing laws and regulations of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
For more than a decade, people and businesses have
been able to access, track and download all bids and
SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE
PROCUREMENT AND RISK MANAGEMENT
(PRM)
To provide guidance and
direction in various key areas
to all municipal departments
including the school department
and enterprise accounts.
PURPOSE STATEMENT
Requests for Proposals (RFP) electronically from the
website located on the Town of Barnstable Home page. By
registering to review a bid on line, the Town can effectively
send notices, addenda and information about specific bids
to those individuals who have shown interest by logging in.
This effort has enhanced access to the Town bids and has
resulted in greater competition and continues to save the
Town money by avoiding the costs for additional postage
and paper.
Johanna Boucher also serves as the Town’s contract
compliance officer in this office and ensures compliance
with the minority and women owned business participation
requirements associated with any construction projects that
include state funding.
Procurement support of municipal projects
accomplished this year included numerous bids, RFPs and
contracts. The recurring annual bids including multiple
small building projects, new and used highway equipment,
Water Pollution Control (WPC) chemicals, roadway repairs
and street sweeping for Department of Public Works
(DPW) represent a significant amount of the work effort
each year..
PROPERTY
This office continues to support the property
management efforts of the Town by managing nearly 70
tenants and negotiating leases as they needed to be rebid or
renewed. Of particular note, at the Lombard Trust, the
current trustee continues to work, with the support of this
office, to maximize rents, renegotiate leases, and is building
up the Trust to meet the goals established in Parker
Lombard’s Will which granted the Town the 44 acre tract of
land in the village of West Barnstable in 1755, to be used
for the Benefit of the Poor. The bids for design and
construction of the Lombard Ball fields, and the adjoining
parking lot were completed this year with which in fall
2017.
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 79
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Risk Management efforts of this Division, include
providing direction and expertise in Property, Casualty,
Liability and Specialty insurance coverages to all of the
municipal segments including school administration. With
the specialization of insurance coverages needed to protect
the expanding range of services and Town assets, the goal
of finding affordable and effective insurance remains a
difficult challenge.
The protection of Town assets and the reduction of the
potential for losses is the core goal associated with the Risk
Management and Loss Control function. The information
intensive renewal of the Town and School insurance
policies continues to be one of the final challenges for each
fiscal year. As in past years it continues to be a challenge
to find Insurance carriers willing to take on the massive
financial exposure associated with the Town’s assets in close
proximity to the water. While our loss history continues to
be generally good, we do continue to experience some
routine losses involving property and assets. This further
complicates the renewal process due to exposure concerns.
This was the end of the seventh year of a self- insured
approach to Workers Compensation coverage. We can
now compare an in-house (self- insured program) to
possible outside programs as the negative loss experience
will have less of an impact on future rate setting. The loss
history for this year remained consistent against previous
years. The reliance on the established Worker’s
Compensation Trust Fund, which allows the ability to
accumulate our own reserves from money not spent during
good years, we continue to manage the important process of
caring for employees hurt while working. While the
markets did not materialize to make the switch worthwhile
for this year, we approach next year’s renewal with an eye
towards creative ways to manage this important part of
town government.
ENERGY
There are now numerous renewable energy projects
around town including at the Airport, Landfill, Senior
Center, Water Pollution Control and solar arrays and a
Cogen plant at schools. These energy projects mostly built
in conjunction with the Cape and Vineyard Electric Coop
(CVEC) demonstrate the Town’s continued commitment
to renewable energy, and illustrate the critical role that
procurement has played in energy management and
generation for the Town of Barnstable. Working closely
with DPW and the School Department, we remain on the
lookout for new opportunities for more renewables to be
installed.
Energy contracts for diesel fuel, gasoline, fuel oil,
natural gas and electricity continue to be reworked and
monitored out of this office, always with an eye towards
securing favorable pricing.
Master contracts for electricity and Natural Gas for all
municipal accounts including the Town and airport
accounts provides a consolidated and active energy
management that puts the Town, Schools and Airport in a
position to save tens of thousands of dollars through careful
contracting and market awareness.
As procurement, insurance and energy activities
continue to evolve, the Procurement and Risk
Management staff continues to actively be involved in
important projects and large contracts that can save money
for Town operations while protecting and managing
numerous Town assets.

BARNSTABLE
MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 85
To provide a safe and superb air travel
experience and high quality aviation
activities to the citizens of the Town of
Barnstable, the Cape Cod region, and
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. As
a non-hub primary airport and a major
transportation facility, our goal is to foster
local economic growth; and to ensure
that the airport remains as an integral
part of the regional transportation plan in
an effort to meet the demand for present
and future air travel.
PURPOSE STATEMENT CONVENIENT AIR TRAVEL
BARNSTABLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
AIRPORT PROGRAM:
The Barnstable Municipal Airport serves as a
distinct commercial transportation hub by meeting
the regional demand for air transportation, providing
travel opportunities from Hyannis to Boston and the
islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket; seasonal
jet service between New York and Hyannis; to other
major destinations across the country; and acts as an
economic engine for the residents of the Town of
Barnstable and Cape Cod. The FY2014 update to the
Massachusetts Department of Transportation
Aeronautics Division statewide Economic Impact
Analysis showed that the Barnstable Municipal
Airport, in conjunction with its tenants and
associated businesses, provides a direct and multiplier
impact on employment opportunities for more than
2,135 people, with a payroll in excess of $85 million
dollars, with a total economic impact on the region
in excess of $208 million dollars. For every $100
spent by aviation-related businesses, an additional
multiplier of $56 is created in the local economy.
The Barnstable Municipal Airport has met the
requirements of the Title 49 USC, Subtitle VII –
Aviation Program and is authorized to operate as a
certificated airport in accordance with, 14 CFR Part
139 and as certificated by the Federal Aviation
Administration; and is approved as a public use
airport in accordance with the provisions of Chapter
90, Section 39B of the General Laws of
Massachusetts; and as such, is recertified on an
annual basis.
The Airport is an Enterprise Fund Department of
the Town and is primarily supported by user fees,
property leases, and sales to fund operations and
future capital improvements, and receives no property tax revenue
to offset any portion of the operation. The Airport is managed by a
seven member Airport Commission appointed by the Town Council.
(Please see Airport Commission report for additional information).
The Airport employs 23 full time and four (4) seasonal employees
who operate and maintain the airport 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
365 days a year. The duties of airport personnel are both broad and
varied, many of which are dictated by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 139
for Airport Certification. The services are provided by three
separate and distinct Airport Departments: Airport Operations,
Airport Maintenance, and Airport Administration – that work
together as a whole to provide mandated and required services.
Administrative Department - The Administrative staff performs a
myriad of administrative functions including but not limited to
overseeing airport security, noise abatement and environmental
response, billing, auditing and bookkeeping, contracting,
construction oversight, capital planning, budgeting, grants
administration, processing airport employee and tenant security
identification files, personnel administration, overseeing leases,
intergovernmental liaison, public relations, and communications.
Operations Department - The nine (9) full-time Operations
employees are tasked with servicing tenant and transient aircraft,
including transportation of passengers from these aircraft, and
passenger transportation in the busy summer months to and from
remote parking areas; performing wildlife management duties to
keep flight operations safe; refueling aircraft; deicing aircraft;
inspecting and ensuring a safe airfield; and responding to emergency
situations with our Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting vehicles.
Aircraft rescue response, as mandated by the FAA, must be able to
86 ONE TOWN...ONE MISSION
BARNSTABLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
respond to and reach an accident site on the airfield within
three minutes or less. Airport rescue personnel constantly
train and participate in live drill exercises in order to stay
proficient and ready to handle any aircraft emergency. The
Airport rescue response works in coordination with the
Hyannis Fire Department, and once on scene, they assume
the role of Incident Commander.
Maintenance Department - Upkeep of the airfield and
airport facilities by our eight (8) full-time Maintenance
employees takes precedence over all other maintenance
tasks. Since Barnstable Airport is a certified FAA FAR
Part 139 commercial service airport, any and all airside
discrepancies must be documented and corrected as
expeditiously as possible. Their duties include maintaining
runways, taxiways, and ramps; painting airfield markings;
mowing all grass areas in the 683 acre airport property;
maintaining all airfield lighting; conducting all emergency
and snow removal operations for the airfield and the
terminal roadways; maintaining all airport owned buildings
and grounds; and maintaining the fleet of vehicles needed
to accomplish our mission.
FY 2018 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
• Maintained compliance with FAA FAR Part 139 and
Massachusetts Department of Transportation (DOT)
Aeronautics Division airport safety and certification
requirements.
• Continued fifth successful seasonal daily JetBlue
100-passenger jet service between New York and Hyannis.
Travelers flying between New York’s JFK Airport and
Barnstable’s HYA Airport once again had a direct option
with daily seasonal service between the two airports. Proven
successful passenger average load factors for the entire season
in excess of 75% (peak daily capacity reached nearly 90%
in late July/beginning of August and peak weekly capacity
reached was 88%) combined with high passenger satisfaction
with the route and services indicate continued seasonal
service in FY2019 and beyond. Dates and schedule to be
determined.
• Development of an Airport Business Plan to target the
Airport’s intended audience and to establish a consistent
and focused plan that spells out specific activities to market
the Airport and increase revenues. Goals of the overall plan
include:
- Improving General Aviation Services;
- Diversifying the Airport Revenue Stream;
- Being a Leader in Air Transportation Options for the Cape,
Islands and Southeastern Massachusetts; and
- Developing Airport Branding.
• Continued Air Service Development Program to attract
additional “legacy” air carriers to serve the untapped
demand for scheduled and charter air service from Hyannis
to additional travel hubs beyond the New York area. We
attended an Air Service Development conference called
“Jumpstart” in Providence, RI meeting with six airlines
(Southern Airways Express, JetBlue, Republic Airways,
American Airlines, Elite Airways, and Cape Air) in FY2017
to attract additional service but with a new twist; a regional
approach. This “Regional Approach” by teaming with
Nantucket Airport (ACK) highlighting that fact that year
round service means that an airline will not only serve
Hyannis but also the islands. This “Regional Approach”
got more attention and more comments from the airlines
than anticipated. Conversations with airlines continued in
FY2018.
• Continued successful operation of the 23.93 acre, 24,640
module and 7.89 megawatt combined ground mounted solar
photovoltaic array located in two locations at the Airport.
Airport revenues for FY2018, its 3rd full year of production,
exceeded the Guaranteed Annual Output (GAO) by 19%.
The following table depicts revenues received to date.
The drop in revenues for FY17 can be attributed to
outages, a decrease in production during the winter months
and a relatively wet and rainy spring/summer in that
timeframe. A 23-day outage to replace failed equipment
within FY2017 (September 2016) resulted in a significant
loss in production. We also saw a decrease in production
during the winter months, specifically over the first two
months of the calendar year (January and February 2017);
attributed to higher levels of snowfall. A relatively wet and
rainy spring/summer also contributed to less production
with a 20% production decrease from March – June 2017
when compared to the same months in 2016. Even with
the loss in FY2017, FY2018 exceeded our expectations.
The ability for the airport to continue to shrink its carbon
footprint, reduce electricity costs and provide revenues to
the airport is a win-win for this project. (To view the
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 87
Airport solar energy production data go to the two sites
noted here to review production statistics for each of the
two parts of the array.) See http://minisite.alsoenergy.com/

6e4742554b772b71633d. See the figure below for FY2018
production.
• Welcomed a new tenant to the Airport with the addition of
Cape Cod Coffee in October 2017 in the airport’s terminal
café serving both tenants and customers year round offering
breakfast, lunch, donuts and coffee, of course!
• Continued partnership with the Cape Cod Museum of Art
and the Cape Cod and Islands Art Educators Association
(CCIAEA) we hosted the fourth round of wonderful art
exhibited by the many talented teachers and art educators in
our communities that will showcase their work and continue
the theme of a “Cape Cod Sense of Place.” A portion of
the sales of their artwork is used to provide scholarships to
students. Future art exhibits will be primarily in cooperation
with the Cape Cod Museum of Art and the CCIAEA.
• Upgraded and expanded our aviation and airport historical
display in the Conference Room which is open daily for
public viewing.
• Added aeronautical themed displays to the Airport Terminal
in partnership with the Massachusetts Air and Space
Museum.
• Continued to host the annual Collings Foundation “Wings
of Freedom” WWII “war birds” on the East Ramp.
• Opened the terminal for local community events such as
the Cape Cod Young Professionals Back to Business Bash.
For the first time in FY2017 we partnered with the Cape
Cod Young Professionals (CCYP) to host their annual Back
to Business Bash (September 2016). The CCYP is one of
Cape Cod’s fastest growing non-profit business networking
and community advocacy groups and they chose the airport
for its 10th annual bash in FY2017. The event sold out
to a crowd of 600+ visitors! The Back to Business Bash is
the Cape’s premier networking celebration—
marking the end of a successful summer season
for Cape Cod businesses. The Barnstable
Municipal Airport was a new venue for this
group in FY2017 and we were thrilled to partner
with CCYP. With the event being a success,
CCYP returned to the airport in FY2018 and
increased the number of tickets sold to well over
900!
• We continue to stress the use of the Airport
Art Gift account to accept donations for
program maintenance and the potential for
future commissioned art work.
FY2018 MAJOR PROJECTS OR INITIATIVES:
• Continue to work on and meet Barnstable Municipal Airport
Commission Strategic Planning goals:
• Take steps to increase Airport Revenue;
• Continue to market the airport to air carriers to achieve
enhanced air service to meet the Cape's demand for direct
air travel to major hub airports;
• Continue to enhance community relations and support for
the airport’s future plans;
• Complete a review of airport personnel positions with a view
to a possible staffing reorganization;
• Continue review of airport provided Fixed Base Operator
(FBO-)type services to general aviation. Upgrade facilities as
necessary to meet demand.
• Continue review of airport terminal and passenger service
facilities. Identify necessary upgrades for future capital
improvement program discussions.
• Continue to develop the airport long range capital
improvement program, in conjunction with the FAA
Airport Improvement Program and available grant funding,
to include safety improvements identified in the Airport
Layout Plan, and in keeping with the new Master Plan.
• Continue to work with the new on-demand airport architect
to develop a 20-year airport preventative maintenance,
repair and replacement program for all owned structures
and major capital systems and equipment; to reduce costs,
improve safety, reduce environmental risk, and improve our
ability to better serve the aviation community.
• Completed the reconstruction of circa 1985 Runway 15/33
(approx. 5,253 ft. x 150 ft.) to extend the design life of the
pavement for another two decades; replace edge lighting,
replace Runway 15-33 navigational aids (Visual Approach
Slope Indicator with an upgraded Precision Approach
Path Indicator), re-align a portion of Taxiway B (approx.
700 ft. x 50 ft.), re-align a portion of Taxiway C (approx.
1250 ft. x 50 ft.) and remove an underground diesel tank
for the emergency back-up generator used as backup power
BARNSTABLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
88 ONE TOWN...ONE MISSION
for airfield lighting and other miscellaneous related airfield
improvements with natural gas.
• Completed the construction of a new 132 square foot
outdoor patio for the Airport’s terminal café. With airport
service being more seasonal in nature, it has proven difficult
to maintain a restaurant on an annual basis. Year-round
use of the café needed a new approach and visibility so that
customers not only visiting the airport to catch a flight or
a bus to Boston could enjoy the café’s offerings but also
customers in the general area could come to frequent the
establishment. Outdoor seating has enhanced the café’s
visibility at the airport.
• Improved airfield drainage on the North Ramp. Upgrades
to the drainage system were necessary in order to fix issues
with continuous flooding occurrences. The project, with
the help of funds from the Massachusetts Department of
Transportation – Aeronautics Division, combined a five-
year phased approach and included the installation of five
underground drainage/leach-type pits.
• Replaced 11 garage doors in the circa 1997 Aircraft Rescue
and Firefighting/Snow Removal Equipment Building.
• Purchased a forestry mulcher attachment to help airport staff
maintain vegetation growth within the Runway Visibility
Zone (RVZ) and along the Airport’s perimeter security fence.
The forestry mulcher uses a single machine to cut, grind, and
clear vegetation.
• Complete the reconstruction of Runway 15/33, and
additional portions of Taxiways Bravo (B), Charlie (C) and
Delta (D) and other associated airfield improvements.
• Serve as an integral component of the Cape Cod
Transportation Plan in order to more effectively promote the
use of mass transit transportation.

STATUS ON PERFORMANCE:
As the economy dipped in 2008/2009, aviation mirrored
the economic situation and around the world the aviation
industry experienced significant decreases in demand. The
Airport was not immune and experienced the same trends
with significant reductions in passenger numbers and airport
operations (landings and takeoffs) during this period and in
the 10 years that followed. Airport passenger throughput
declined from a high of 420,957 total passengers in Fiscal
Year (FY) 2007 to 61,431 total in FY2018; an 85.4%
decline. Airport operations declined as well from a high of
130,503 in FY2007 to 81,986 in FY2018; a 37.2% decrease.
The dip in the economy was not the only factor that
affected aviation activity and revenues at the Airport.
Factors such as the nationwide pilot shortage, increased
competition from the addition of high-speed passenger
ferries traveling to/from Hyannis and the islands of Martha’s
Vineyard and Nantucket, and the bankruptcy of Island
Airlines added to the dwindling numbers.
Airport activities are financed primarily through jet fuel
sales, which account for over 40% of the airport’s revenue,
followed by land lease rentals and fees, car concession fees,
landing fees, vehicle parking and other user fees collected
from airlines and concessionaires. The economic dip, pilot
shortages, competition from high-speed ferries, and the late
2015 bankruptcy filing by Island Airlines, Inc. continues to
have a significant financial impact on the airport’s
operations and the concurrent reduction in enplanements/
deplanements; however, jet fuel sales appear to be climbing
back to pre-Island Airlines bankruptcy. Prior to the airline
discontinuing service, the Airport, on average, was selling
over 250,000 gallons of Jet A fuel annually to Island
Airlines. A comparison of jet fuel sales since FY2014 shows
a decline following FY2015 with numbers going back up in
FY2018. The Airport’s hope is that this is a positive trend
that will continue.

Arts & Culture
Arts and Culture are fundamental to community
character, quality of life and economic development.
Fostering the creative economy supports economic growth;
contributes to the vibrancy of our villages; benefits local
artists; enriches resident and visitor experiences alike;

establish downtown Hyannis and the entire Town of
Barnstable as a regional destination for the arts.

successfully integrated Arts and Culture into the socio-
economic fabric of our community. By promoting the

with the project. The next phase is design fabrication.
The Town will help install the artworks and develop
the interpretive materials in FY19. The MCCC's core
activities are awarding grants and providing services to
connect cultural assets to community needs. Although
MCCC has funded other projects in the district, the
Discovery Walk initiative is the first time the Town and
MCCC have partnered directly.

provide maintenance and collection services for parking
kiosks. We work closely with our data processing company
on payments and data collection, and the Police
Department on enforcement, and with the Registry of
Motor Vehicles on ticket clearances, handicapped placards
and updated laws and systems. In addition, the Parking
Program supports the Town in other various capacities
including visitor services through the Gateway Greeter
program, collaboration with DPW for improved parking
management through new and/or updated signage and

Permitting: Implementation of online permitting
software began in 2016 making it possible for citizens to
apply for permits online; we continue to improve and
develop that process to better serve the community. In
2018 we streamlined our paper permit applications and
processes to make our applications more user friendly and
to reduce submittal requirements. We constantly monitor
our permit output to ensure that we are issuing permits in
a timely manner.
Business Certificates: Certain Businesses that operate
in Town are required by Massachusetts General Law to
register with the Town Clerk. Typically regulatory
agencies review those applications in advance to ensure
compliance with Federal, State and local regulations. We

scanners and others. In addition, packaged products are
inspected in retail stores to determine accurate
measurement and compliance with labeling and advertising
regulations.

118 ANNUAL REPORT
Major Accomplishments FY18
• Celebrated the 25th anniversary of the opening of Olde
Barnstable Fairgrounds (OBF) Golf Course throughout
the year with limited edition merchandise, monthly sales,
incentives and golf outings. For the sixth year in a row
OBF received a Best in Golf award as the number 10 top
public golf course in the state as voted on by golfers.
• Completed phase two of our facility upgrade program.
Significant enhancements were made at both clubhouse
facilities. At Olde Barnstable Fairgrounds Golf Course the
exterior deck was replaced, all windows and doors were
replaced, a second awning was installed and the interior
and exterior of the building was painted. At Hyannis
Golf Course the front entrance was renovated, handicap
ramp was replaced, the large exterior deck was replaced
and a second set of stairs was added, the deck awning was
replaced and the interior stairwell was renovated.
• Replaced numerous kitchen appliances in the restaurant
at OBF. The majority of the equipment was in used
condition when OBF opened 25 years ago. A new freezer,
walk-in cooler, fryolators, food prep stations, dishwasher,
charbroiler and griddle were replaced.
• The Hyannis Golf Course quota league, now in its
third year, has become arguably the largest and most
well attended league in the region with over 200 golfers
playing 1,700 rounds. Hyannis Golf Shop sales have
doubled in 3 years.
• Olde Barnstable Fairgrounds Golf Course took delivery
of a new fleet of rental golf carts in April. The new carts
are very quiet and comfortable. They are equipped with
golf club weather protectors and new EFI (electronic fuel
injection) motors that are 30% more fuel efficient than
prior carts.
• Completed a Turf Maintenance Equipment replacement
program at Hyannis Golf Course. Two greens mowers,
two fairway mowers, two tee/approach mowers and a large
area rough mower were purchased along with numerous
attachments and accessories. All of the equipment
replaced was over 10 years old and in poor condition.
Our status as a First Tee Program host course entitled us
to significant additional discounts over and above state
contract prices. Hyannis Golf Course is one of five First
Tee Chapters in the state and only one on Cape Cod.
Status on Performance
The Golf Division operates as an enterprise fund. In
FY2018 the Golf Division generated $3,275,951 in revenue
through fees charged. FY2018 was a difficult year for the Golf
Division as we dealt with a wet summer, cold winter and non-
existent, raw spring. The weather had a big impact on business
as rain greeted us almost every weekend in July and August.
This curtailed activity on both golf courses not to mention
neighboring courses all over the region. Despite the bad
weather we managed to come within 1% of reaching our

PURPOSE STATEMENT
DIVISION OVERVIEW
The Senior Services Division supports older adults in our
community by providing programs and services designed to
optimize their quality of life, reduce social isolation and help
them maintain their independence so they may successfully age-
in-place in Barnstable. Our vision at the Barnstable Senior
Center is to provide a safe, inclusive and welcoming
environment, where all participants are treated with dignity and
respect, and to offer opportunities that enrich and empower our
older population. Our programs and services are open to all
community seniors regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, ability,
gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation. By offering a
broad spectrum of programs and services, ranging from advocacy,
transportation, adult supportive day, caregiver support, volunteer
opportunities and social, educational and wellness activities, we

SENIOR SERVICES DIVISION
126 ANNUAL REPORT
To administer low-income benefits
under Massachusetts General Law for
veterans and widows of veterans who
are residents of the Town of Barnstable.
We advocate for and connect veterans to
benefits they’ve earned and assist them
with their federal Veterans Affairs (VA)
disability claims.
PURPOSE STATEMENTVETERANS SERVICES
The Barnstable District Department of Veterans Services
has continued to experience growth in claims and assistance
volume due primarily to returning Afghanistan veterans.
Vietnam veterans continue to comprise the largest group of
veterans in our town. Their needs often increase as they enter
the later stages of life with concomitant medical and
disability issues. We also continue to serve the benefit needs
of our World War II, Korean, Gulf War and Peacetime
veterans.
During the year ending June 30, 2018, we had 5,901
claims appointments and walk-ins, 8,414 incoming telephone
calls and conducted 75 home visits for housebound veterans.
One of our two primary functions is to assist low income
veterans who are residents of the Town of Barnstable with
financial assistance for living expenses and medical care
under M.G.L. Chapter 115. These benefits are administered
both for elderly veterans on fixed incomes, their widows,
disabled veterans of all ages and for younger veterans of our
town who are out of work through no fault of their own. In
FY2018 the Town of Barnstable, through our office, provided
more than $204,464.00 to low income resident veterans.
These benefits were reimbursed to the Town at 75 percent by
the Commonwealth.
We also provide services to veterans in obtaining the full
range of federal government (Veterans Affairs), state
government and local government benefits. Last year this
office assisted in obtaining $11,170,500.00 in VA federal cash
benefits for Town of Barnstable veterans and widows/
widowers. These benefits were compensation for service-
connected injuries, veteran pensions for non-service-
connected disabilities and Aid and Attendance for those in
need of home health care assistance. This largely tax free
benefit is brought into our local town economy, through our
assistance to our veteran and dependent recipients, at no cost
to the town and greatly reduces the need for Town Chapter
115 benefits.
We strive to advocate for the deserving veterans of our
district in their time of need and encourage them to contact
us to seek assistance with their claims or challenges.
Call us at: (508) 778-8740. We are located in the First
Citizens Federal Credit Union Building, 66 Falmouth Road
(Route 28), Hyannis, MA 02601.

In Fiscal Year 2018, the Community Preservation Committee (CPC)
recommended a total of five projects to the Town Council, through the
Town Manager, for appropriations totaling $721,108 Historic Preservation,
Open Space and Recreation, and Community Housing were among the
projects for which funding was approved and appropriated.
Accessory Affordable Apartment CPA Loan Program - Community Housing
Accessory Affordable Apartment CPA Loan Program - Community Housing Support $200,000
Acquisition of Conservation Restriction - 3600 Falmouth Road, Marstons Mills -Open Space $195,000
Burgess House and Barn - DPW– Phase III Restoration Work – Historic Preservation $ 84,284
Centerville Recreation Center – DPW – Restoration Work - Historic Preservation $163,800
Barnstable/W Barnstable Elementary Playground Equipment - Open Space/Recreation $375,000
Sturgis Library Newspaper Digitization Project – Historic Preservation $ 78,024
Total $721,108
Planning & Development Housing Coordinator was granted funding
to replenish the depleted Accessory Affordable Apartment Community
Preservation Act (CPA) Loan Program, originally funded in 2014.
Continuation of this existing project will provide loans of up to $20,000 to
eligible homeowners to create new affordable accessory apartment rental
units. Funds are secured by a loan agreement, mortgage and promissory
note and are repayable upon sale of the house or loss of the affordable unit.
The units are monitored annually to ensure program compliance.
The Barnstable Land Trust (BLT) received approval and
appropriation of a portion of the total amount required to
purchase 3600 Falmouth Road, Marstons Mills; a conservation
restriction will be held by the Town of Barnstable. 3600
Falmouth Road is a 2.18 acre property located at the
intersection of Route 149 and Route 28. Acquisition of this
parcel alleviates a potential traffic hazard from any new
development, and protects another link in the sidewalk from
the Village to a nearby shopping center. BLT and the Town
own several parcels in this environmentally sensitive area for
conservation on the pond, and connecting street, and the
Marstons Mills River; the parcel also abuts the popular herring
run property. The addition of footpaths will enhance Public
enjoyment.
Three Historic Preservation projects received CPA
funding in Fiscal Year 2018. The Department of Public Works
(DPW) through the Town Manager was appropriated funds for
Phase III restoration work for the Burgess House and Barn, a
Town-owned, historically significant property constructed in
1823 and located at 559 Route 149, Marstons Mills. A
significant amount of work previously completed by DPW
in-house has reduced the amount of funding needed from
other sources. Phase III work includes the restoration of
existing windows, foundation work, replacement of gutters and
downspouts, replication picket fence, ADA walks and building
access, and lighting. Once restoration is complete, the
property will be used as the village community center for
Marstons Mills.
The Department of Public Works (DPW) through the
Town Manager was granted CPA funds for hard and soft costs
associated with restoration work for the Centerville
Recreation Building, a historically significant, Town-owned
property located at 524 Main Street, Centerville. Restoration
work included in this appropriation is the replacement of
failed metal windows with historic wood replicated windows,
installation of schoolhouse lighting and the repair of the
ceilings. Work previously performed to preserve the property
includes: replacement of siding; handicap accessible ramp
installation; new grading and parking; and, door replacement.
The Centerville Recreation Building was constructed in 1880
as a schoolhouse with additions constructed in 1932 and was
later used as the village Post Office when a new school was
built in 1957. The Post Office use was discontinued in 1976
when the building became a community meeting center.
The Sturgis Library was granted Historic Preservation
CPA funds for their local newspaper digitization project:
“History Revealed: Digitization of the Register and the
132 ONE TOWN...ONE MISSION
Respectfully submitted,
Lindsey B. Counsell
Chair
Barnstable Patriot Newspapers”. Sturgis Library’s request for
Barnstable CPA funds for this project represents one third of
the total amount required to digitize the Register in its
entirety, and the remaining years of the Barnstable Patriot
newspapers, having digitized and indexed the first 100 years of
the Barnstable Patriot nine years ago using Barnstable CPA
and Federal grant funds. A partnership with Dennis and
Yarmouth Libraries and Community Preservation Committees,
will provide the other two thirds of the total project amount.
Both the Barnstable Patriot and the Register were established
in the 1830s and complement each other providing historical
information, including social and cultural news, as well as
vital records, real estate transactions, obituaries, photographs,
opinions and more to researchers, students, authors,
genealogists, historians, and others. The benefits of a digital
newspaper archive is that they are fully searchable and
available to the public online for researching, printing, saving,
e-mailing or sharing on social media.

136 ANNUAL REPORT
The Economic Development Commission (BEDC) is
appointed by the Town Council. BEDC goals, consistent
with the Local Comprehensive Plan, are to increase job
opportunities with sustainable wages for residents of the
Town of Barnstable, assist existing businesses with their
changing needs, encourage and assist businesses to locate
in Barnstable and to create an environment conducive to
economic development and redevelopment. BEDC
members include representation from and participation
with many local businesses, the Greater Hyannis Chamber
of Commerce, Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, Hyannis
Main Street Business Improvement District, Coastal
Community Capital, Cape Cod Commission and a liaison
from the Town Council.
BEDC brings together private sector expertise, public
sector support and volunteer business organizations for
specific plans and projects. In addition BEDC originates
economic development strategies from the Barnstable
Local Comprehensive Plan and Town Council Strategic
Plan. BEDC is a think-tank group of volunteers without
policy setting or implementing authority.
In 2018 the BEDC is comprised of business and
academic senior experienced thinkers who collaborate at
monthly BEDC, meetings in an environment conducive to
innovative thought. In this “think-tank” environment all
members are free of local business interests or career
ambitions, and volunteer their economic and social
thinking strictly for the benefit of the Town of Barnstable
citizens. The discussions held have been focused to create
innovative means to enhance economic development in
the Town of Barnstable. Collectively, the BEDC believes
that policy predicated upon simply enhanced past
initiatives is insufficient to meet the needed economic
development of our Town for today and the years ahead.
SUPPORTING BARNSTABLE’S
ECONOMIC GROWTH
To increase job opportunities
with sustainable wages for residents
of the Town of Barnstable,
assist existing businesses with
their changing needs, encourage
and assist businesses to locate
in Barnstable, and to create
an environment conducive
to economic development
and redevelopment.

ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
In 2018, BEDC continues to focus on economic
development issues relevant to the Town of Barnstable.
Topics this year included zoning amendments to the
Hyannis Gateway and Medical Services District; a review
of Town Regulatory Division for the purpose of making a
more “business friendly” environment; participation in the
Downtown Hyannis Parking study conversations; Ongoing
conversations and research on potential local Blue
Economy and Educational opportunities within the Town;
and marketing efforts by the Greater Hyannis Chamber of
Commerce, the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, the
Hyannis Civic Association and the Hyannis Main Street
Business Improvement District. Two BEDC subcommittees:
Marketing and Regulatory / Zoning are working to create
new business expansion and retention strategies and
improve the regulatory process in commercial areas. An
approved set of BEDC objectives and means of measuring
progress was set in early 2018.
BEDC meets the first Tuesday of every month in the
Selectman’s Conference Room. We look forward to a busy
2018-2019 and continuing to support innovative economic
growth in the Town of Barnstable.

138 ANNUAL REPORT
To protect the health of the people in
the Town of Barnstable. The Board is
charged with interpreting and enforcing
local and state regulations that pertain
to public health. The Board is also
responsible for identifying the need
for and adopting new regulations that
address such issues.
PURPOSE STATEMENT
PROTECTING PUBLIC HEALTH
The purpose of the Board of Health is to protect the
health of the people in the Town of Barnstable. The Board
is charged with interpreting and enforcing local and state
regulations that pertain to public health. The Board is
also responsible for identifying the needs of the public and
adopting, amending or eliminating regulations to address
issues.
2018 was a year of change. The Board of Health is
comprised of three board members and an alternate. Two
of our Board members were replaced this past year. Junichi
Sawayanagi was replaced by John Norman. Also, our
alternate Board member Cecilia Sullivan was replaced by
Tom P. Lee, P.E.
During the past year, the Board eliminated several
regulations and amended several others. Eliminated was
the requirement to have private lifeguards at a majority
of swimming pools at motels and hotels during the off-
season months when occupancies are low, below 75 rooms.
This will be re-evaluated in five years. Also in 2018, the
Board eliminated the requirement to install electronic or
battery activated faucets at food establishments’ hand-wash
sinks. Instead hands-fee faucets area allowable, including
knee activated or wrist activated faucet handles. Also
eliminated was the requirement to provide both screens
and air curtains at doors and window openings at food
establishments which provide outdoor dining areas.
In 2018, the Board also eliminated the regulation which
required private septic inspectors to excavate areas directly
above leaching pits during septic system inspections prior to
real estate transactions. This requirement was eliminated
to prevent disturbances to leaching areas and surrounding
washed stone during these inspections.
During 2018, the Board strengthened its requirements
to upgrade older septic systems which are in close proximity
to high groundwater. Septic systems which are less than
four feet above the adjusted high groundwater table will be
required to be upgraded during the building permit process,
for particular projects involving new construction (i.e.
bedroom additions, raze and replaced dwellings).
The Board approved a new pilot leaching system, a
woodchip-type layer system proposed by George Heufelder,
Co-Director of Massachusetts Alternative Septic System
Test Center. To date this new system has shown to be
promising at the test center; it has been shown to reduce
contaminates from onsite sewage disposal systems in the
groundwater.
In April 2018, the Board voted to urge the Town
Council to disallow the sale and distribution of marijuana
products in Barnstable. The Board provided the Town
Council useful information concerning the short-term
and long-term negative health effects of marijuana use as
documented and publicized by the National Institutes of
Health.
During recent months, multiple meetings were held
with the Town Attorney, Massachusetts Association of
Health Boards (MAHB) representatives, and the Director
of Barnstable County Tobacco Control regarding the need

to update current tobacco control regulations. Two public
workshops were held during 2018; the Board received
valuable input from the Greater Hyannis Chamber of
Commerce, various business owners, police officials, and
members of the public. A public hearing is pending to be
held this fall.
The Board continues to enforce ongoing programs
including sewage disposal, hazardous material use - storage
and disposal, fuel storage and food service sanitation. A
total of 7,189 inspections were conducted by Public Health
Division staff at restaurants, swimming pools, retail stores,
percolation tests, septic systems, tanning facilities, motels,
horse stables, rentals, body art establishments, and other
facilities.
The Board continues its strong support of the
Community Nursing Program. Our part-time public health
nurse maintains a vital presence at various sites throughout
the town and conducts influenza vaccine clinics with our
Health Division at the St. George Greek Orthodox Church
where drive-thru inoculations are available.
The Board of Health meets monthly on the last
Tuesday afternoon of the month. Additional meetings
are scheduled during the spring months to assist businesses
owners who are attempting to open before the busy summer
season. All of our meetings are televised live on the Town’s
Channel 18. The meetings are also available at the Town
Website for your convenience.
The Board of Health wishes to thank former Board
member Junichi (Jimmy) Sawayanagi, who provided eleven
years of volunteer service to our community. He assisted
restaurant owners with preparation of their Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Points (HACCP) plans and provided
useful advice to businesses, including low-cost options for
correcting health violations at food establishments. He was
a valuable asset to restaurant owners and the general public
during his many years of service on the Board.
BOARD OF HEALTH
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 141
To preserve and protect historical
buildings and settings throughout the
Town and to continue to inform and
educate the public about town history
and its significance.
PURPOSE STATEMENT
PRESERVING BARNSTABLE’S HISTORY
The Commission reviews applications for demolitions
and partial demolitions of properties more than 75 years
old, located outside of the Town’s two local historic
districts, the Old King’s Highway Historic District and the
Hyannis Main Street Waterfront Historic District. The
Commission oversees inventories of historic properties
and seeks to preserve significant properties. As part of the
preservation program, the Town has thirteen (13) Historic
Districts including six (6) National Register Districts, plus
75 properties individually listed on the National Register.
Significant changes or demolition of buildings listed on the
National Register and contributing buildings located within
a National Register District are also subject to review by the
Cape Cod Commission.
Pursuant to Chapter 112 Historic of the Town of
Barnstable Code the Commission may hold a public hearing
on the proposed demolition of a significant building more
than 75 years old. If the Commission then further finds that
the building is preferably preserved, a demolition delay of
up to eighteen months can be imposed. This process allows
the property owner time to incorporate the present building
into new plans or find other individuals who would be
interested in preserving the building.
In FY 2018 the Commission reviewed 32 such matters,
reflecting the continuing strong real estate market in
the Town of Barnstable. The Commission issued three
demolition delays during this year for 56 High Street,
Cotuit, 51 Prince Avenue, Marstons Mills, and 979 Sea
View Avenue, Osterville. We also voted in favor of the full
demolition of five structures; the single family structure
located at 190 Bridge Street, Osterville, two single family
structures, known as the Charles Marston Homestead,
located at 3600 Falmouth Road, Marstons Mills, and a
garage and shed located at 1248 Craigville Beach Road,
Centerville. Our cases seem to grow more complex each
year and we strongly encourage and appreciate the resident
comments that help us evaluate local impact.
To this end, we held a workshop which was also
televised, to help our concerned citizens work with the
forms necessary to identify the town’s historical resources,
led by Paul Wackrow, Principal Planner. We welcomed
Cheryl Powell as a regular voting member and also
nominated her, as a representative of BHC on the Hyannis
Main Street Waterfront Historic District Commission.
We bid a reluctant farewell to former Chair, Laurie Young,
and wish her well in her new home in Florida. We sent
two letters of support to Tales of Cape Cod; one a letter of
support to help fulfil their grant requirements and also a
letter of support to recognize September 27th as Barnstable
County Independence Day. Discussions are underway to
create a Preservation Award, a process we are re-instating.
We are eager to inventory structures within BHC purview
as it has been ten years since our prior major review.
The demolition of the Osterville Elementary School
commenced. We continue to be impressed by the efforts
of our Clerk, Erin Logan, who brings her sharp mind and
friendly personality to the Historical desk.
As always, we appreciate the staff support of the
Planning & Development Department and look forward
working further with Elizabeth Jenkins.

Review of Conservation Restrictions: The
Committee had a busy year reviewing the
proposed conservation restrictions (CR) for:
• Mill Pond Overlook, a 2.18 acre parcel
along the Mill Pond in Marstons Mills
• 0 Church Street, the so-called Shaw
Property in West Barnstable
• Peppercorn Lane, a Conservation Land tax
credit parcel in Cotuit
• Bumps River Mill Pond, a 5.92 acre parcel
abutting town owned conservation land in
Centerville
• 200 Communication Road, part of a land
swap in Hyannis.
In addition, the LAPC continued its
advocacy for the final approvals of CRs on
already Community Preservation Funds
purchased land known as Prince Avenue
property, Harju Property and Amaral
property.
LAPC followed the approvals and
recording of CR for a 14 acre Sandy Neck
parcel purchased by the Town in 2015.
LAPC continued to push for finalization and approval of the Breeds
Hill Road land swap.
Review of the Open Space and Recreation Plan: A significant portion
of the Committee’s time was engaged in the review of the Open Space and
Recreation Plan. With the Planning Division, the Committee crafted a
survey which had an impressive response and was used to update the
existing Plan. The Committee participated in a number of outreach
sessions, specifically with the Recreation Commission, Conservation
Commission, Planning Board, and Disability Commission. A public
comment session was also held resulting in important additions to the Plan.
A special thank you is extended to Kris Clark for updating the shellfish
propagation information. The LAPC tentatively approved the Plan with

Cape Cod Pathways Program: LAPC was thrilled that two AmeriCorps
members joined the Town staff –Dylan Davids in Department of Public
Works and Emily Baker in Conservation. Both volunteers were
instrumental with working with members of LAPC as well as Will Holden
of Barnstable Land Trust in trail blazing, updating trail maps, redoing kiosk
design, trail signage, and catwalks. The Committee thanks Chris Gonnella
of DPW for his work (and advocacy) in the trail systems. The Committee
welcomed Dylan and Emily on several occasions, as well as Martin
Wunderly of Conservation. A special thank you goes out to committee
members Farley Lewis for her organization of two successful Pathways
Walking Weekends and Steve Gould for supplying Walking Weekend
signage. Several members of the LAPC are also members of a Pathways
subcommittee overseen by the Barnstable Land Trust.
Santuit Preserve: Under the effective advocacy of Phyllis Miller and
with the help of Committee Town Council liaison Jessica Rapp Grassetti,
the Santuit Preserve Management Plan inched closer to completion. Many
thanks to David Anthony and Assistant Town Manager Andy Clyburn for
taking this overdue assignment seriously and to the Department of Public
Works for working closely with Phyllis in dealing with any issues needing
attention in the Preserve.

The Sandy Neck Board is a Town committee comprised
of seven members who provide the Town Manager and
Town Council with advice relative to Sandy Neck Beach
Park for the purposes of conservation, economic
sustainability, public use and education and research. In
addition, the Board also provides policy guidance for all
passive activities such as swimming, hiking, horseback
riding, hunting, camping and fishing.
This year presented a number of challenges for the
Sandy Neck team. Although usage and revenue from both
Barnstable and out of town residents has steadily increased
over the last five years, in 2018 the weather was not in our
favor which resulted in lower ticket sales for the ORV (Off
Road Vehicle) trail. At the same time, we had a strong
year in terms of plover pairs and chicks fledged. This
activity presented challenges to Sandy Neck Beach Park
Manager Nina Coleman and her team and they worked
hard under their Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) permit
to open as much beach as possible.
Due to the introduction of a new “app”, the Sandy
Neck team was able to communicate in advance to ORV
users about the status of the beach. This resulted in less
congestion at the gatehouse and fewer unhappy ORV users.
This change in conjunction with new policies targeted
at beach behavior and the support of the Sandy Neck team
and Barnstable Police helped to improve the beach
experience for users.
Beach erosion has continued to be a threat to Sandy
Neck both in terms of damage to the beach as well as the
risk to beach park assets such as the bathhouse and parking
lot. Sand placed on the beach in 2016 was totally
consumed by three winter storms in some parts of the beach
resulting in up to 40 feet of dune loss in some places. In
March $100,000 of replacement sand was placed in order to
protect the assets. We have been averaging approximately
$100,000 of sand replacement cost for the past five (5) years.
Storms also did significant damage to the Gatehouse
which was flooded twice.
The resiliency of our coastline continues to be the
primary risk for Sandy Neck. Developing options for
addressing this risk has been and will continue to be a key
area of responsibility for the Board. We are committed to
working in conjunction with the Town Manager and his
team along with support from the Town Council and outside
agencies to identify options for addressing this risk.
I attended the annual meeting of the Sandy Neck
Cottage Colony to talk with owners about any stakeholder
issues. The working relationship between the owners and
the Sandy Neck team continues to be excellent. The
excellent work done by our Highway Department to repair
trail damage after the many sever winter storms was
recognized and appreciated.
The Winders lean-to was completed and will open in
October. Thanks to Bill Monroe and many others from the
SNK board, Boy Scouts and a number of local craftsmen for
their hard work on this important project.
Finally I would like to thank outgoing board members
Rich French and Wendy Paquette for their valued service to
the Board and their dedication to Sandy Neck Beach.

THE VOICE OF ALL YOUTH
IN THE TOWN OF BARNSTABLE
YOUTH COMMISSION
To act as the voice of the youth in the
Town of Barnstable; we strive to advise
the Town Council on matters of youth
concern while actively advocating for
and proffering the opinion of the youth
throughout the Town of Barnstable.
PURPOSE STATEMENT
FY 2018 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
• The Barnstable Youth Commission offered—for the
fourth consecutive year—the
• two-day Youth Summit and Community Prevention
Forum. The Summit and Forum were again
presented at Cape Cod Community College.
This year’s Forum featured Robert Hackenson
of Dynamic Influence, a speaker that resonates
effectively with the seventh graders in his approach
to informing, spinning essential messages with an
entertaining twist. This year’s Summit invited the
7th graders of Barnstable Intermediate School to
hear presentations from Robert Hackenson, the
BHS Peer Leadership Program, a group of BHS
Senior Role Models and Gosnold of Cape Cod,
among others.
• The Youth Commission created a program structure
and engaged in extensive collaboration with the
One Love Foundation on developing a dating abuse
program for Barnstable Public Schools. The program
was implemented for the first time at Barnstable
High School on the final day of graduation rehearsal
for seniors. By conclusion, this program was hailed
as a landmark event that will no doubt permeate
Barnstable High School’s culture for years to come.
• The Youth Commission organized their second
annual Job Fair at the Hyannis Youth and
• Community Center in April. This event, which
attracted almost twenty local business and more
than eighty students, provided an opportunity for
youth to find summer employment. Only those
employers seeking youth were permitted to attend.
Further, a special application introduction program
was offered by Warren Rutherford of The Executive
Suite.
Respectfully submitted,
Matthew Outwin Hersey
Chairperson
MAJOR UPCOMING PROJECTS OR INITIATIVES:
• As I am a departing Chairman, I leave with unending confidence
that those who succeed will persist in their battles on behalf
of the youth. Rest assured, the Commission will, as always,
continue to bring important youth concerns to the attention of
the community and amplify the voice of the youth for those who
should be attentive to it.
This was my only year as Chairman of the Commission, prior
to which I served as Vice-Chairman for one year. Looking back on
my years as a Commissioner I struggle to believe how much this
Commission was able to manifest. In four short years, multiple new
programs were introduced and successfully implemented, garnering
remarkable commendation from all levels of government in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
I found my motto for this Commission in the final year of my
service while listening to Mrs. Duran’s second graders at a School
Committee Meeting: When we empower the voice of our youth
we find the simplest solutions to our greatest problems. During my
time on the Commission, we discovered that asking for help or
reaching out to enact change is only limited by the reluctance to
first ask or first act. Inspired by our liaisons and advisors we found
that our Commission’s ability to create the framework for change
in our community was nearly boundless. I urge future Commissions
to act unapologetically and raise their voices in the way that this
proud Commission has in these last four years.
I would be remiss if I did not thank the following individuals
for their support during my time on the Commission and with the
Town: Leisure Services Director Patti Machado; Community
Services Director Lynne Poyant; Town Councilor Jennifer Cullum;
Lt. Jean Challies of the Barnstable Police Department; Town
Manager Mark Ells; and State Senator Julian Cyr, among so many
others.
I would especially like to thank Sid Davidson and the Lyndon
P. Lorusso Foundation for their continued support of the Youth
Summit and Community Prevention Forum. This year, the Lorusso
Foundation funded the entire cost of the Summit and Forum, an
act of munificence which is truly unparalleled in nature.
It is with great excitement that I look forward to following the
future journey of the Youth Commission and wish those who
follow me all the luck in the world as they continue the important
crusade of being the voice of the youth.

PURPOSE STATEMENT KEEPING A SPECIAL PLACE SPECIAL
The 19-member appointed Cape Cod Commission
board represents a wide spectrum of the region and provides
oversight for a staff of approximately 40 professionals.
This report represents broad areas of the Commission’s
work and responsibilities, highlighting several specific
projects and initiatives.
Richardson Retires After 12 Years
Royden Richardson, the appointed representative from
the Town of Barnstable, ended 12 years of service on the
Cape Cod Commission in April 2018. The 19-member
board of the Cape Cod Commission formally recognized his
dedication and leadership on the Commission. Commission
Chairman Harold “Woody” Mitchell presented Mr.
Richardson with a Certificate of Recognition.
Frederick Chirigotis of Centerville was appointed as
Barnstable’s new representative and began his service in
May 2018.
Leadership Transition
After more than 10 years leading the Cape Cod
Commission as executive director, Paul Niedzwiecki stepped
down in February 2018 to become the first executive
director of the Southfield Redevelopment Authority at the
former Weymouth Naval Air Station. During his tenure,
the regulatory agency evolved to become an organization
focused on facilitating regional discussion on some of the
most pressing issues facing Cape Cod, from wastewater
management to housing needs to fully understanding the
nature and challenges of its seasonal economy.
Deputy Director Kristy Senatori was elevated to the
role of Acting Executive Director in March 2018.
Wastewater
Noting considerable progress on implementing the
Cape Cod Water Quality Management Plan Update, the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency accepted and
incorporated the 2017 Implementation Report drafted by
the Cape Cod Commission into the 208 Plan Update.
The 2017 Implementation Report highlights the
region’s progress toward water quality goals since plan
certification and approval in 2015 and outlines future
actions to achieve improved water quality in the region. It
also includes updated watershed reports charting progress
made in 53 embayment watersheds.
The Commission’s enabling regulations were amended
through the county legislative process to allow change the
review of local comprehensive wastewater management
plans. The changes allow for staff-level review of such plans
and sign-off by the executive director and are intended to
provide more efficient and timely review.

Stormwater
The Cape Cod Commission was awarded $50,000 to
create a stormwater management coalition to help Cape
communities meet stormwater management requirements.
The Commission convened stormwater managers from
all Cape towns beginning in Fall 2017 to further define the
role of the coalition and identify potential structures for a
regional management entity.
Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative
In June 2017, The Barnstable County Board of
Regional Commissioners and Assembly of Delegates
approved an ordinance reestablishing the Cape Cod Water
Protection Collaborative. Under the ordinance, the Cape
Cod Commission was tasked to serve as administrative and
technical staff to the Collaborative.
The reformed Collaborative serves as the advisory
committee to the Section 208 Regional Water Quality
Management Plan. In this role, the collaborative will
review and advise on aspects of the 208 Plan and track
towns as they move through implementation.
OneCape
Planning for the annual OneCape Summit was well
underway by the end of FY 2018. The Commission’s fifth
regional summit was scheduled for two days in August 2018
at the Wequassett Resort in Harwich and expected to draw
more than 300 attendees.
The Summit focuses broadly on environmental and
economic themes with anticipated presentations on
water quality, coastal resiliency, infrastructure planning,
community design, and economic development across Cape
Cod.
Resilient Cape Cod
In early 2016, the National Oceanographic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a three-
year, $780,000 grant to the Cape Cod Commission and
partners to develop a tool and public outreach program to
investigate the environmental and socio-economic effects
of local and regional coastal resiliency strategies.
162 ANNUAL REPORT
A series of three stakeholder meetings were held
between December 2017 and February 2018 in four
subregions that represent the major water bodies
surrounding the Cape. These meetings were designed to
gather input on potential strategies to inform development
of a web-based planning tool.
In the final year of the grant, the Commission will
work with the Town of Barnstable on a pilot program to put
the planning tools into practice.

that could benefit from a regional approach. Past projects
include the 2014 aerial flyover, Region Wide Area Network
(RWAN), e-permitting and performance management
software through OpenGov. The Town of Barnstable
continues to be a partner in these regional digitalization
efforts and is among four communities in a new online
zoning portal project.
Regional Policy Plan Update
Drafting of the Cape Cod Regional Policy Plan
(RPP) update was fully under way in spring 2018.
Commission staff organized public comments and planning
recommendations from prior public outreach efforts to
inform the drafts. The direction the emerged was to create
a policy-driven document based on requirements from the
Cape Cod Commission Act, removing specific performance
standards to broader technical bulletins.
The Regional Policy Plan is adopted as an ordinance
of Barnstable County and serves as the Commission’s
regulatory and planning framework.
Barnstable County Economic Development Council
The Barnstable County Economic Development
Council was established in January 2018 through an
amended county ordinance approved by the Board of
Regional Commissioners and Assembly of Delegates.
With a restated mission and functions, the BCEDC is
the successor to the Cape Cod Economic Development
Council, which was established in 1998.
The Barnstable County Economic Development
Council (BCEDC) is an advisory board to Barnstable
County established to guide economic development policy
in a manner that will improve the quality of life for all,
foster a healthy economy offering a range of employment
opportunities at livable wages for year-round residents, and
protect the region's natural and built assets today and in
the future.
Cape Cod Commission staff administers the BCEDC,
providing technical services and administrative support.

CEDS
The Commission completed the fourth and
final annual update to the 2014 Barnstable County
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS).
The most recent five-year strategy was approved in 2014
and receives annual updates on progress toward identified
projects. The Barnstable County Economic Development
Council approved the final update in June 2018 and
received information on planning for the five-year update
due in 2019.
The region’s economic strategy is based on four core
economic development principles: Protect and build on the
region’s competitive advantage, use resources efficiently;
foster economic balance and diversity; and to expand
opportunity and regional wealth.

patterns. The Town of Barnstable is also partnering on this
project, with work commencing in the new fiscal year.
The project focuses on compact design forms, allowing
more units with fewer infrastructure demands, while
maintaining the character of the surrounding community.
The project is designed to engage the development
community through a Developers Roundtable, providing
development proforma, and developing a model concept
form-based-code regulation. Engaging practitioners in
the visioning stages for compact development will allow
stakeholders to share feedback, best practices, areas of need,
and other knowledge that will assist in its implementation
in the region.

Cape Cod Transportation Improvement Plan
The Cape Cod Transportation Improvement Plan,
or TIP, serves as a prioritized listing of roadway, bridge,
and transit projects proposed for implementation during
the next five federal fiscal years. The UPWP describes all
significant transportation planning activities planned on
Cape Cod over the 12-month period.
The 2018-2022 TIP allocated more than $134.5
million in funded highway and transit project across Cape
Cod. The 2018 Federal Fiscal Year spending allocated more
than $34.3 million. The 2019-2023 TIP, approved by the
MPO May 2018, represents $167.6 million in projects for
those five years.
Water Resources
Water resources staff provides technical assistance
to towns, citizens and the County on water resources
projects including: water supply, wastewater and stormwater
management, fresh water ponds and marine waters.
Project assistance included numerous technical
assessments, Cape-wide well monitoring, planning,
education and regulatory review on all aspects of Cape
Cod’s water resources. Water staff participates on a variety
of local, regional and state committees and strives to
develop strategies to implement cost-effective solutions to
capitalize on common regional needs across the Cape.
The Commission has coordinated the PALS (Ponds
and Lake Stewards) pond sampling program since its
inception in 2001.
Technical Assistance
The Cape Cod Commission received $186,965
Is District Local Technical Assistance funds from the
Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community
Development. The funds are distributed to municipalities
on a competitive basis to further regional coordination
and innovation. Projects must fall within three categories
established by the state: Planning Ahead for Housing,
Planning Ahead for Growth and Community Compact
Cabinet Activities.
The following projects were funded through 2017
allocations.
BARNSTABLE: Second Homeowner Survey
DLTA funds were committed to this project that
promotes the goals of Regionalization, Advanced Financing,
Planning Ahead for Growth and Housing, and Capital
Planning for water quality infrastructure. Commission staff
worked with the UMass Donahue Institute to design and
conduct a second homeowner survey to inform regional
infrastructure needs. Commission staff met with state
officials regarding proposed methods to raise revenue
for water infrastructure needs across the region. The
Commission also worked with a consultant to identify
potential revenue sources for water quality infrastructure
improvements and to conduct a financial analysis including
cost sharing measures and impacts on municipal and
household economics.
Amount awarded: $55,000 (includes a $10,000 match)
REGIONAL: Stormwater Management – MS4 Permit
The Commission worked with the Barnstable County
Department of Health and the Environment, the County
Procurement Officer, and the Association to Preserve
Cape Cod to identify opportunities for the 15 towns of
Cape Cod to adopt Regionalization/Shared Services Best
Practices to identify efficient and cost-effective means to
meet the Massachusetts MS4 permit requirements. Cape
towns explored options for creating a regional stormwater
coalition and looked at ways to share services, equipment
and technical expertise.
Amount awarded: $24,965

166 ANNUAL REPORT
Barnstable County created the Human Rights Commission
(BCHRC) in October of 2005 to address discrimination, equal
rights, and equal access. The BCHRC is comprised of nine (9)
Commissioners as well as Town Representatives who are a
community resource for businesses, non-profits, agencies and
individuals.
Accomplishments and Initiatives

THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS
HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
We continue to promote and protect the
basic human rights of all persons
in Barnstable County.
PURPOSE STATEMENT
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 167
Cape Light Compact JPE is an
intergovernmental organization consisting
of the 21 towns on Cape Cod and
Martha’s Vineyard and Duke’s County.
The Compact’s mission is to serve our
205,000 customers through the delivery
of proven energy efficiency programs,
effective consumer advocacy, and
renewable competitive electricity supply.
PURPOSE STATEMENT
Effective July 1, 2017, the Cape Light Compact
reorganized and reconstituted itself as a joint powers entity
pursuant to Massachusetts General Law Chapter 40 Section
4A1/2, becoming the first joint powers entity in Massachusetts.
Reorganizing as a joint powers entity protects member towns
from potential liabilities and mandates greater financial
accountability through expanded reporting requirements to the
Massachusetts Department of Revenue and member Towns,
and designation of Treasury functions to an independent entity.
POWER SUPPLY
During fiscal year 2018 (FY18), the Compact’s power
supplier for all residential, commercial, and industrial
customers was NextEra Energy Services of Massachusetts
(NextEra). The Compact is pleased that our residential price
in FY18 was lower than Eversource’s basic service residential,
while also being 100% renewable.
The Compact has been a green aggregation since January
2017, meaning 100% of Compact’s power supply customers’
annual electricity usage is met with renewable energy
certificates (RECs). Each REC represents the generation of 1
megawatt hour (1,000 kilowatt hours) of electricity produced
by a renewable resource, such as wind or solar. By retiring
RECs to match the Compact’s customers’ usage, Compact
customers are financially supporting renewable energy
resources, including resources located on Cape Cod and
southeastern Massachusetts. In addition, NextEra pledged to
deposit all premiums paid for voluntary RECs, plus their
supplier and retail fees (expected to total over $3 million per
year), into a trust fund to be used solely for the development of
new renewable energy resources. Now, by purchasing electricity
through the Compact, all Compact power supply customers are
supporting renewable energy and acting locally to combat
climate change.
At a regional level, New England continues to face
electricity pricing challenges during the winter months. Over
the last fifteen years, New England has greatly increased its
reliance on natural gas for electricity production, and now over
fifty (50) percent of New England’s electricity is generated with
CAPE LIGHT COMPACT
natural gas. However, natural gas pipeline capacity has not
substantially increased during that same period. As a result,
during winter cold snaps, demand for natural gas to generate
electricity competes with natural gas demand for heating
purposes. Allocation of natural gas for heating has priority
over natural gas for generating electricity. This creates a supply
shortage of natural gas for electricity production, and therefore
increases prices for electric generators, which is passed on to all
New England power supply customers. Until such time as this
issue is resolved, either through additional infrastructure,
demand reduction or other targeted programs, the possibility of
future high winter pricing remains, and as such, consumers
should still expect seasonal pricing fluctuations for the
foreseeable future. The Compact will continue to seek ways to
help customers reduce their electricity costs through innovative
energy efficiency programs to mitigate the impacts of higher
winter electricity pricing.
As of June 30, 2018, the Compact had approximately
19,587 electric accounts in the Town of Barnstable on its
power supply.
CONSUMER ADVOCACY
Since 1997, Cape Light Compact has advocated for the
ratepayers of Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard at the local and
state level. In FY18, the Compact continued its focus on grid
modernization, reviewing the plans submitted by the utilities in
August 2015. The Compact held community and stakeholder
meetings about what is being proposed and the implications for
the energy future of Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard. There
were several key areas of concern that the Compact and
engaged stakeholders identified, mainly centered around the
fact that Eversource’ grid modernization plan was mostly grid-
facing and did not offer many opportunities to engage
customers with a modernized grid. The Compact was an active
participant in the DPU docket and retained experts to analyze
Eversource’s plan and present expert witness testimony,
submitted information requests to Eversource, and submitted
briefs. The DPU issued their grid modernization orders in May
168 ONE TOWN...ONE MISSION
Respectfully submitted,
David W. Anthony
Barnstable Representative
2018, approving some of the utilities’ requests but deferring
decisions on customer-facing technologies (such as advanced
metering infrastructure) to future proceedings. The Compact
will seek to participate in future grid modernization
proceedings at the DPU to advocate for the interests of Cape
and Vineyard customers.
In December 2017, the DPU issued an order on
Eversource’s rate case, which was filed in January 2017. This
was Eversource’s first fully-litigated rate case since the 1980’s.
Rate case proceedings determine the charges that Eversource is
allowed to impose on the distribution side of the electric bill,
which affect all residents and businesses on Cape Cod and
Martha’s Vineyard. The Compact was an active participant in
this proceeding as well. The Compact’s concerns with the
proposal were: (1) the proposal to increase customer charges
and impose new demand charges, which decrease customers’
ability to manage their bills; (2) the 10.5% return on equity
sought by the company, which is higher than the national
average for a regulated utility; (3) the proposal to shift
approximately $30 million per year of costs from Western MA
customers (and Eastern MA commercial customers) on to
Eastern MA residential customers, which includes the Cape
and Vineyard. Unfortunately, the DPU approved increased
customer charges and demand charges, a 10% rate of return,
and the cost shift from Western MA and Eastern MA
commercial customers on to Eastern MA residential customers.
However, the participation of the Compact and other
intervenors resulted in a lower approved customer charge than
Eversource proposed, a rejection of consolidated Transition
charges (saving Cape & Vineyard customers approx. $8M/
year), and rejection of the consolidation of commercial and
industrial rate classes which would have had steep bill impacts
for some Cape & Vineyard customers. Since the December
2017 Order, the Department has opened two related
proceedings that the Compact is participating in regarding
performance metrics and the Monthly Minimum Reliability
Charge (MMRC) outreach and education plan. Additionally,
the Compact filed an amicus brief with the MA Supreme
Judicial Court (SJC), supporting other parties’ appeals of the
approved return on equity rate and MMRC. The SJC has not
ruled on the appeals as of July 2018.
The Compact also participated in regulatory proceedings
at the DPU related to the retail electric market, pushing for
policies that promote a competitive power supply market while
ensuring common-sense protections for consumers.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
As outlined in the table below, Fiscal Year 2018 brought
more than $5.3 Million of energy efficiency rebates and
incentives, awarded to more than 8,690 Participants of the
Compact’s Energy Efficiency Programs within the Town of
Barnstable, resulting in annual electricity savings of more than
13,000,000 kWh. Notable activity includes:
• $33,695.39 spent on municipal energy efficiency projects, saving
more than 40,723 kWh annually. Municipal entities served
include the Barnstable DPW, Centerville Library, and Hyannis
Youth and Community Center.
• 1,058 Participants in comprehensive Home Energy Assessments.
• 291 non-government commercial & industrial participants,
implementing a wide variety of projects, resulting in
$2,927,579.93 of awarded incentives and approximately
2,595,205 kWh of annual electricity savings.
CAPE LIGHT COMPACT
• Cape Light Compact’s education efforts reaches many Cape
and Vineyard schools and supports teachers in their efforts to
bring the world of energy science, conservation and efficiency
to their students. Teacher workshops, educational kits, teacher
materials and the popular Be Energy Efficient Smart (BEES)
program are available free of charge as part of the Compact’s
commitment to helping to shape an energy literate and
energy efficient society. This year, Barnstable Middle School
participated in the BEES program with 410 7th grade students
learning about energy efficiency in their homes.

TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 171
The Steamship Authority is a public
instrumentality created by the
Massachusetts Legislature to provide
for adequate transportation of persons
and necessities of life for the islands of
Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard.
PURPOSE STATEMENT
THE HEART AND SOUL OF THE
STEAMSHIP AUTHORITY ARE ITS EMPLOYEES
The Steamship Authority is a quasi-governmental ferry
system and is the only such ferry system in the country to
operate without a subsidy from a higher governmental
agency either by the state or federal government. The total
expense of operations is provided by the rate payers, and in
the event there were to be a deficit, the deficit would be
assessed to the five respective towns serviced by the
Authority in a proportion to their weighted vote.
Thankfully, this has not happened since 1962 and the
Authority has operated since that time at no cost to the tax
payers.
The governance of the Steamship Authority consists of
a five member board of Governors who are appointed by the
respective mainland towns of Barnstable, Falmouth, and
New Bedford, and the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s
Vineyard. Robert R. Jones serves as the Town of Barnstable’s
representative to the five member Board of Governors and
is currently the vice-chairman of the Board. Eric Shufelt,
who was formerly the Town of Barnstable’s assistant
harbormaster took over the position on the Authority’s Port
Council formerly held by Mr. Jones.
Over the past couple of years, the Authority has been
engaged in a massive modernization and reconstruction
project to upgrade the Woods Hole terminal and docks.
The old concrete terminal was demolished and at this time,
a temporary terminal is servicing the ticketing needs of the
traveling public. A new permanent terminal is currently
being designed and is going through the permitting process.
This project is not expected to be completed for another
three years. The construction of the new office building on
Parmer Avenue is now complete and the offices are now
occupied and operational.
In the spring of 2018, the Authority experienced a
myriad mechanical failures from M/V Martha’s Vineyard
which was dry docked over the winter months and returned
from mid-life refurbishment in the spring. Making matters
worse, there were several unexpected mechanical issues on
the Authority’s other vessels compounding the frustration.
The number of mechanical issues was unprecedented and
never seen before in all of the history of the Authority.
This caused numerous trip cancellations which mainly
impacted the Martha’s Vineyard – Falmouth route, but
luckily had but little impact upon the Hyannis – Nantucket
route. All vessels were back on line by early spring and the
season went smoothly from there.
The following statistical information has been taken
from the Steamship Authority’s 2017 Annual Report: Last
year, the Steamship Authority had 54 employees who reside
in the Town of Barnstable and had a combined wage of
$3,132,085. Embarkation fees paid to the Town of
Barnstable totaled $81,407 for a combined total of
$1,131,471 collected since 2004. Traffic statistics showed
that a total of 592,502 passengers were carried on the
Hyannis / Nantucket route, while automobile traffic totaled
65,672, and vehicles over 20’ totaled 52,682. In total
between the Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket routes, the
Steamship Authority made 22,843 trips in 2017 and carried
3,059,047 passengers. The Steamship Authority employs
over 700 local men and women with good paying jobs and
benefits, and has an operating budget of over one hundred
million dollars and has no subsidies.

EDUCATIONAL ENRICHMENT GRANTS
This is my eighth report as Trustee and Agent for the
Cobb Trust.
During the 2017-2018 school years, the Cobb Trust
approved educational enrichment grants totaling over
$204,000. This represents a 5% increase over the 2016-
2017 school years. The increase reflects additional income,
higher interest rates and positive investment performance.
Every school in the system received grant allocations in
proportion to their enrollments. Programs and activities
that were funded cover almost every curriculum component
including Math, Science, History, English, Art and Music.
I am pleased to announce that the Trust’s annual
probate reporting process continues to be streamlined
resulting in meaningful savings of time and legal fees. I can
also report that the Trustees financial reports for the
previous five years have been approved and certified by the
probate court.
During the 2019 fiscal year I plan to focus on the
following areas:
• Keeping the grant levels and program quality as
robust as possible
• Increasing public awareness of the Trust’s mission
Going forward, I will continue my efforts to make the
Cobb Trust an even more robust contributor to the public
school students of the Town of Barnstable.
Respectfully submitted,
Steven G. Heslinga
Trustee
ENOCH T. COBB TRUST
The Cobb Trust was established by the
will of Enoch T. Cobb, a Barnstable
resident, who died in 1876. The purpose
of the trust is to provide grants for the
public school students of the Town of
Barnstable. The trust income is expended
on items, programs and activities
which the Trustee feels will enrich the
educational experience of the students
particularly when appropriated funds
are not readily available in the School
Department budget.

PROVIDING ASSISTANCE
The Lombard Trust Fund comprises about 50 acres of
land in the village of West Barnstable. The land was owned
by Parker Lombard, who passed away at the age of 34 in
1754 and who generously donated his land to assist the
“Poor” of the Town of Barnstable.
The key passage from Mr. Lombard’s will states:
“…My will and all the real estate that I have in the
Town of Barnstable shall be hired out to the highest
bidder…and that the rent or income of it shall be improved
for the use and benefit of the Poor of the Town of
Barnstable from one generation to another and never be
sold..”
In 2008, I, retired Judge Joseph Reardon was appointed
as Administrator of the Trust.
A committee of three, Town of Barnstable employee,
Theresa Santos of Property and Risk Management; and
volunteers Len Gobeil and Janice Lariviere, receive
applications, interview all candidates and submit their
decisions to the Trustee.
The committee also communicates with many social
service agencies in an effort to assist as many people as
possible, and to continue to fulfill the wishes of Parker
Lombard’s will. Without their tireless input and triaging of
applications, the poor of the Town would suffer greatly.
This is a demanding task which earns my gratitude and
deep appreciation. I could not function as trustee without
their assistance.
As trustee, I also owe deep gratitude to Town Finance
Director Mark Milne and Town Director of Property and
Risk Management David Anthony, Town Treasurer Debra
Blanchette and the clerical staff of the Finance
Department.
Over the past few years, applications from the “Poor” of
the Town have increased and the fund has been able to
provide assistance to hundreds of needy residents.
The Lombard Trust Fund provides assistance to low
income residents. During our 2018 Fiscal Year, the
following is a tally of funds distributed:
• 50 families with rental payments
• 13 families to pay utility bills
• 10 families received assistance for auto repair /
payments
• $11,000.00 was awarded for homeless programs
• $30,456.00 for youth programs.

FUNDS DISBURSEMENT
The Barnstable Trust Fund Advisory Committee
(TFAC) meets on a periodic basis to review and act in an
advisory capacity on behalf of the Town’s thirty one trust
funds totaling approximately $31 million. Of these trust
funds there are two; the Pension Reserve and Capital Trust
Fund that make up approximately 70% of the total portfolio
of which income and expenditures are designated by Town
Council vote.
This year the Committee focused on disbursements
from the Kirkman Trust Fund and the transfer of ownership
from the Korean War Veterans Association Cape & Islands
Chapter 1, Inc. to the Town of Barnstable.
The Kirkman Trust was established in 1953. The
original trust document was the Will of Mary Lewis

tribute to all Cape and Islands residents who served during
the “Forgotten War”. The memorial consists of an eight
foot tall bronze statue of a U.S. combat soldier in full gear
placed on a granite base at Veterans Park.
A ceremony for the commemoration of the 65th
Anniversary of the Korean War Truce was held on July 27,
2018, during which the Town of Barnstable formerly
accepted transfer of ownership and care and maintenance
of the Memorial.
The Lyndon Paul Lorusso Foundation generously
funded six, five thousand dollar scholarships to deserving
graduates at Barnstable High School to further their
education for an annual total of $30,000.
In addition, funds in excess of $10,000 were disbursed
from several of the trust accounts for a variety of
educational scholarships as well as donations of $300 to
Independence House in Hyannis and $200 to the Teens
Love Christmas program through the Salvation Army.
The Trust Fund Advisory Committee is responsible for
the oversight of several scholarship funds which can now

and decisions:
In Barnstable Public Schools, we value commitment,
collaboration and community…
• Commitment: We are dedicated to the continuous
learning and growth for all.
• Collaboration: We work together while keeping student
needs at the center of all decision making.

SCHOOL CONTACTS & COMMITTEES
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 183
meeting the needs of the whole child, we engage in a
review and revision cycle of curriculum.
Schools in Barnstable continue to support the social,
emotional, and behavioral needs of students through
social-emotional learning (SEL). This past year more and
more teachers adopted SEL practices through our Second
Step curriculum and Responsive Classroom practices, such
as Morning Meeting. In addition, each school has clearly
articulated expectations for student behavior that are
posted throughout buildings. And, we are utilizing the
DESSA screening tool to identify students who need
additional support in the realm of social-emotional
learning. Barnstable Public Schools was featured in a
national publication for our work in this area:
https://www.districtadministration.com/article/SEL-
checkups-at-school.
While Barnstable Public School prides itself on its
emphasis on the whole child, we hold ourselves
accountable to the Commonwealth’s measurement of
student achievement. Each year students educated in the
state’s public school districts participate in the
Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System
(MCAS). Students in grades 3 through 10 take
assessments in English language arts, mathematics, and
science. Students receive a performance level of exceeding
expectations, meeting expectations, partially meeting
expectations, and not meeting expectations. The data from
these tests informs our schools of necessary adjustments to
make in the area of curriculum and instruction. Below is a
graph of the two-year trend data for Barnstable Public
Schools, which closely mirrors the state averages for most
grade levels.
Theory of Action
If all improvement efforts are strategically aligned
to support rigorous Tier 1 instruction, while providing a
multi-tiered system of support for the social, emotional,
and academic development needs of students, then
each student will thrive in a high quality education
that prepares them to for success in college and career.
Accomplishments
The Barnstable School Committee has placed a
high priority on maintaining lower class sizes for all
schools. This past year the School Committee reached
agreement with the Barnstable Teachers Association to
strive for a class size of 23 in all K-3 schools, and a
class size of no more than 25 in all other grade levels.
Class sizes are monitored throughout the year to ensure
that lower class sizes are maintained.
Professional learning for all educators in Barnstable
Public Schools is also a high priority. The district has
scheduled a number of half days for students in order to
provide professional learning time for educators in the
afternoon. These half days combined with time allotted
during after school staff meetings, provides
opportunities for educators to collaborate, and stay up
to date with their content area and content-specific
pedagogy.
As with all fields, education and the content we
deliver is ever changing, informed by research and
development. Advances in content areas and
technology require that the district offers curriculum
that reflects current developments in every content
area. In order to balance new developments with
expected curriculum, the district engages in annual
curriculum review. Our commitment remains to offer
Barnstable students an engaging, rigorous, and relevant
curriculum. In order to offer a vibrant curriculum,
PURPOSE STATEMENT
VISION: The Barnstable Public Schools
educates the whole child by creating
a student centered school culture that
addresses students' physical, social,
emotional, and academic needs by
creating a safe and healthy learning
environment in which students are
challenged, supported, and engaged.
FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
BARNSTABLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
184 ANNUAL REPORT
We continued our commitment to improving college
and career readiness for Barnstable High School students in
part through purposeful internship and career related
experiences. During the 2017-2018 school year, 91 seniors
participated in an internship program with 100% of
students scoring at or above the proficient level on the
Work-Based Learning Plan.
Received more than $3 million in federal, state, and
private grants to supplement programming for Barnstable’s
5,000 students.
FY2019 Priorities
Strengthen academic and instructional programming to
support student needs, talents, interests, and cultural
diversity.
• Provide each school with evidence-based curriculum and
instructional resources to consistently implement and
monitor all tiers of instruction.
• Establish a framework that defines professional
development, identifies priorities and opportunities, and
assesses the impact on student learning.
• Provide more opportunities and set expectations for
educators to access, analyze, and act upon their data to
inform instructional planning.
Support the development of the whole child through
social and emotional programming.
• Continue to build upon the emerging MTSS framework
of social emotional learning in order to create and sustain
proactive and preventative systems to support student
wellbeing.
• Build a system for identifying, gathering and analyzing
current data, as well as identifying possible gaps in data in
order to develop and implement social emotional learning
programming.
Establish collaborative partnerships to support the
academic, instructional and social emotional learning
programming.
• Create a district-wide process to systematically leverage
possible community resources as partners to support
students’ needs, interests, and talents.
• Find additional ways to inform and engage parents in
their child’s academic, instructional, and social emotional
learning experiences.
• Develop constituencies’ understanding of and advocacy
for necessary funding of academic, SEL, and instructional
programming for ALL students.
Ensure school department budget advances the
achievement of all students, through the alignment of
financial, human, and capital resources with academic,
social, and emotional learning needs.
Protect taxpayer investment in school facilities through
comprehensive capital improvement project analysis and
implementation.

LIBRARIES
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 195
OVERVIEW
Centerville Public Library has been the heart and soul
of our village community, generation after generation, for
almost 150 years. In 1869, local residents established the
Centerville Public Library Association and provided books
for the village along the shelves of the general store. Over
the years, the library has become the center of community
life thanks to the financial and volunteer support of local
families.
Today, our on-going weekly and monthly programs,
one-on-one technical assistance, and popular bookstore are
managed and run solely by volunteers. The warm,
welcoming environment of Centerville Public Library
attracts visitors and residents alike. Our collection,
innovative programming, and leisure activities interest
people of all ages and keeps them coming back.
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
• We created a walking tour app that not only gives a
little history of the library, but a look back at what
makes Centerville unique. Thanks to our partnership
with Mass Center for the Book, an organization
dedicated to serving libraries, we created a 45 minute
tour that begins and ends with the library and
includes information on the buildings and places
around Centerville. Narrated by a library board
member, with research by Britt Beedenbender, the
walk takes you on a leisurely stroll, describing stops
along the way. The walking tour is available on the
web at massbooktrails.oncell.com.
• To celebrate the life of a generous patron, we
partnered with Cape Cinema and Cotuit Center for
the Arts to offer CLAMS members 2-for-1 admission
passes to films and theatrical productions.
• We developed a “Fridays at 1” series that was very popular. We featured film
lectures on “Impressionism through Art between the Two World Wars” and
a “Women in Garden Design” series created by local landscape designers
Elaine Johnson and Beth Couet.
• Our Youth Services Director Kristin Guay was named President of
CLAMS Youth Services Librarians and also serves on the Cape Cod Child
Development Advisory Council initiating ways to better serve children in
the community. Recent accomplishments in our Youth Services department
include weekly visits to West Villages Elementary School; weekly programs
and a Boys’ Book Club with homeschool families; an internship program
with Cape Cod Academy; frequent volunteerism from Barnstable High
National Honor Society students; and a Teen Advisory Board.
• Our FY18 Annual Appeal generated a significant response from the
community, generating more income than all prior annual appeals.

about the library’s history. Since the display is portable, it will also be used in
our local schools.

has spoken at state and regional conferences on the subject.
Karen's efforts have benefited Sturgis Library by ensuring that all
staff are given time to learn about library-related topics as well
pursuing a wide range of training opportunities.
• The Library sponsored over 200 programs, exhibits, and events
for adults, young adults, and children, including lectures, music
and craft programs, art workshops, a Pre-Holiday Book Fair, a
Holiday Tea, Lego Club, Pokémon Club, Family Funktafest,
Drag Queen Storytime, and other well-attended programs and
events. Together with the six other Barnstable village libraries,
the Library participated in the annual collaborative Summer
Reading Program.
• We welcomed new Adult Services/Reference Librarian Corey
Farrenkopf. We said goodbye to Technical Services Librarian
Magda Brancato, and welcomed new Technical Services
Librarian Lisa MacDonald.
• The Library said goodbye to Board members Ted Lowrie, Liz
Ferretti, Jess Bodamer, and Jenn McNulty. We welcomed new
Board members Kathleen Keneally, John Littlefield, and Susan
Guill.
• Sturgis Library is grateful to its hardworking staff, Board of
Trustees, volunteers, and most of all its library patrons and
visitors, who support us throughout the year. The success of the
Sturgis Library is due to the people who enter its doors – to visit,
to sit and read, do research, check out library materials, attend
events, or to share a part of themselves with us. Many, many
thanks.

FY18 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS/ PROJECTS:
• We increased traffic by focusing on quality programming for
adults, young adults and children. The library sponsored 265
programs that included meetings, educational presentations,
lectures, author talks, a new ‘Armchair Travel’ series, Movie
Night, arts and crafts workshops, and yoga classes. The library
continues to offer homebound book delivery services to patrons
who wouldn’t otherwise receive services.
• Our children’s room has enjoyed an increase in families who
use the library. This year, we introduced a family Movie Night,
and started a Lego Club that meets every Friday morning. In
addition, we offered weekly storytime, arts and crafts, STEM
events, gardening projects, cookie decorating classes, and
occasional evening pj storytimes. In the fall, we partnered
with West Parish Family School to provide a storytime program
for pre-kindergarten classes.
• We collaborated with the six other Barnstable libraries
to participate in the Annual Statewide Summer Reading
Program. It was a great success; many children enrolled in the
program and enjoyed activities and prize incentives.
• We expanded our outreach to teens and preteens by creating
a Youth Advisory Board. The purpose of this board is for the
kids to come up with their own ideas for programming and
fundraising to benefit the library. Their participation helps
promote the library to their peers and parents. They have
enjoyed many activities including arts and crafts, game night
and pot-luck dinners.
• We created and launched a beautiful new website. In addition,
our social media and digital presence has greatly expanded
through the use of Constant Contact and Facebook. Currently,
we have 543 patrons who receive email notifications from us
about programs, important fundraisers and library closings.
• The library began to offer digital literacy tutoring sessions for
patrons who need extra assistance with their devices.
• We created a comprehensive materials collection budget to
better meet the needs and preferences of all user groups and
expand the range and depth of future acquisitions.
• Through the generosity of the Kirkman Trust Fund, the library
was able to purchase a laser printer, as well as update its public
computers and software.
• We utilized a plan to update and prioritize capital projects.
Several building repairs and improvements were made this
year, which included a new roof and an awning for the rear
entrance of the building.
• The Trustees and Friends continued to sponsor successful
fundraising events, such as the annual Christmas Boutique,
Jewelry Sale, Book Sales, participation in the annual West
Barnstable Village Festival, and the bottle and can recycling
fundraiser that takes place at the Transfer Station. The funds
raised through these efforts contributed critical financial
support to the annual operating expenditures of the library.
• Judy Jacobson received the annual “Citizen of the Year” award
from the Board of Trustees for her tireless dedication to both
the library and the community.
• After many years of dedicated service, we said goodbye to
longtime Board members Kate Mitchell, Hilary Sandler,
Gerard Kivney and Lynne Dowdall. New Trustees include
Rusty Gage and Lillie Peterson-Wirtanen.
FUTURE INITIATIVES:
• Examine our mission and create a new strategic plan for future
development.
• Continue to examine our fundraising efforts and explore new
directions for funding sources.
• Continue to investigate opportunities for new relationships and
collaboration within the community.
• Continue to prioritize capital improvements, such as repairing
the exterior of the building, finalizing the interior painting
project and purchasing new flooring and a storage shed.
• Continue to provide ongoing professional development
opportunities for our staff.
• Continue to expand our services to older adults to support
lifelong learning opportunities.

NANCY VIALL SHOEMAKER OF WEST BARNSTABLE NAMED
2018 MERCY OTIS WARREN CAPE COD WOMAN OF THE YEAR
The Mercy Otis Warren Cape Cod Woman of the Year Selection Committee in partnership with
the Barnstable County Commissioners announced that the winner of the 17th Annual Mercy Otis
Warren Cape Cod Woman of the Year Award is NANCY VIALL SHOEMAKER of West Barnstable.
Nancy Shoemaker has been nominated several times over the years. This year she received multiple
nominations from Betsy Wheeler and Marilyn Fuller, Dr. Melanie Barron, and Mindy Abbott. In her
nomination, Ms. Abbott described Nancy Shoemaker as having qualities “strikingly similar” to her early
West Barnstable compatriot Mercy Otis Warren. Ms. Abbott wrote: “As historians, playwrights and
publishers, they have used their literary talents and skills to promote awareness of contemporary and historical
issues and by example, advocate for activism on current issues.”
Dr. Barron noted in her nomination that Nancy Shoemaker co-teaches a writing class at the
Academy for Lifelong Learning and regularly encourages class members to submit Letters to the Editors
and Point of View in the Cape Cod Times. Dr. Barron wrote: “Similar to the political pamphlets written by
Mercy Otis Warren, these (submissions) address crucial issues in our current body politic”.
Mrs. Shoemaker is the owner of West Barnstable Press and offers her talents free of charge to a
number of nonprofits. She has served on the Board of Trustees of the 1717 Meetinghouse Foundation
since 2012 and has been instrumental on the History and Program Committees serving as the

224 ANNUAL REPORT
co-narrator for the 400th Anniversary of West Parish of Barnstable Historical Trolley
Tour. She researched the history of the Paul Revere Company bell that hangs in the
1717 Meetinghouse, located and recovered a chandelier that hung in the
Meetinghouse in the 1800’s, and secures speakers for the 1717 Meetinghouse Lecture
Series. She also has donated her time and talent to the Town of Barnstable,
narrating the Citizen’s Academy’s (Inside Barnstable Town Government) seven
village tour for the last several years and led sessions on Town history. Images from
her photograph collection have appeared in numerous brochures, publications, and
newsletters including those for the Town of Orleans, HyArts Cultural District,
Harwich Conservation Trust, and many others.
Nancy co-authored “Barnstable at 350” with Fred Bodenseick and Marion
Vuilleumier, the first Mercy Otis Warren Woman of the Year. Much of the material
contained in the commemorative book on the Town of Barnstable’s 375th
Anniversary was written by her. Nancy Shoemaker has served as a founding member
and past president of the West Barnstable Historical Society and is a current board
member of the Barnstable Historical Society, giving lectures for that organization’s
popular Little Crime Before Dinner series.
She was a past president of Tales of Cape Cod and as a former Coast Guard
Reservist, is on the Board of the Coast Guard Heritage Museum. She is a sought
after speaker on a number of historical topics. Mrs. Shoemaker is perhaps most proud
of her role in preserving meadow land in West Barnstable that Mercy Otis Warren
wrote of playing on as a young girl. In their joint nomination, Betsy Wheeler and
Marilyn Fuller pointed out that Nancy Shoemaker’s contributions are “quietly” made
and that “as each generation becomes further removed from ...history…the more
important becomes the contribution of a resident like Nancy…whose mission in life
is to preserve what went before”.
The Mercy Otis Warren Selection Committee was blessed to have received
nominations of many stellar candidates from all over the Cape. Because of the
quality of nominees, the choice was difficult but in the end, the Committee proudly
and unanimously chose Nancy Viall Shoemaker as this year's Mercy Otis Warren
Cape Cod Woman of the Year. Nancy Shoemaker’s name was placed into
nomination by the Barnstable County Commissioners and approved by that body on
May 9, 2018.
Nancy received the award on Tuesday, June 5, 2018 at Tales of Cape Cod, Olde
Colonial Courthouse, 3046 Main Street, Barnstable Village. Congratulations,
Nancy!
