In Memoriam
Francis I. Broadhurst
October 4, 1935 - July 5, 2018
Francis I. Broadhurst had a storied career as a
journalist and was well known for his “Broadhurst
Reports” on WQRC. Mr. Broadhurst was elected
to the Charter Commission in 1969 for one year;
on June 16, 1987 (Special Town Election) he was
elected to a two year term as Selectman for 1987-
1989. We extend our deepest sympathies to the
Broadhurst Family.
John “Jack” Francis Aylmer
January 27, 1934 - July 8, 2018
John (Jack) Aylmer was elected Selectman in
1966 for a three year term; he was reelected
in 1969 to 1972. During his second term
as Selectman, Jack Aylmer was elected
for his first of six terms as State Senator.
Following his retirement from the Senate,
Senator Aylmer was appointed Rear Admiral,
U.S. Maritime Services, and President of
Massachusetts Maritime Academy. He
was instrumental in starting two Cape Cod
Baseball League teams (the Hyannis Mets
now Hyannis Harbor Hawks and Bourne).
The press box at McKeon Field is named
after him. He was raised in the villages of
Osterville and Centerville, and graduated in 1952 from Barnstable High School as
a 7-time varsity letterman and in 1953 from Admiral Billard Academy, New London,
CT. We extend our deepest sympathies to the Aylmer Family.
In Memoriam
Ann Meagher Williams
May 28, 1929 - December 24, 2018
Ann M. Williams moved with her family to
Cape Cod in 1967 and quickly became
actively involved with committee work for
the Town of Barnstable. As Chair of the
Barnstable Finance Committee (Madame
Chairman in those days), she was the
Town’s representative to the organizing
committee of the Cape Cod Regional
Technical High School. A year after it
opened, she left the finance committee
to join "The Tech" school board where
she served on its Executive Committee
from 1975 until June 2018. In 2016, Mrs.
Williams was named the 2016 Mercy Otis
Warren Cape Cod Woman of the Year. In
the Summer of 2018, Mrs. Williams was recognized for Lifetime Achievement
by the Massachusetts Association of School Committees and the Town
Council issued a proclamation honoring her years of service to the Town of
Barnstable. We extend our deepest sympathies to the Williams Family.

right to deliver opioids. In exchange, those companies agreed
to halt suspicious orders and control against the diversion of
these dangerous drugs to illegitimate uses. But in recent years
they failed to do that, giving rise to one of legal underpinnings
of the Town’s lawsuit. The Town is working with a consortium
of law firms to hold pharmaceutical drug manufacturers and
wholesale distributors accountable for failing to do what they
were charged with doing under the federal Controlled
Substances Act – monitor, identify and report suspicious
activity in the size and frequency of opioid shipments to
pharmacies and hospitals. The Town and the residents of
Barnstable continue to bear the burden of the cost of the
opioid epidemic, as the costs of treatment for addiction,
education and law enforcement have continued to rise.
Lt. Governor Karyn Polito and members of the Cape
delegation visited Town Hall on July 13, 2018 for a working
discussion on the how the Governor’s office can assist the
Town of Barnstable. We discussed topics ranging from
funding for the Armory to social service agencies to coastal

Fiscal Year 2019 has been another busy year in the Town
of Barnstable. This year’s Annual Report theme is: The
Barnstable Way. With one of the largest and environmentally
sensitive geographic areas in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, we serve a diverse demographic of residents and
visitors. Barnstable is truly a unique and complex community.
Barnstable serves as the economic, transportation, health care,
education, arts & culture, 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 Town Council strategic plan provides the staff with
the mission statement for our organization to protect the Town
of Barnstable’s quality of life and unique character, engage our
citizens, and enact policies that respond to and anticipate the
needs of our community.” The strategic plan is a guiding
document for capital and operating budget development that
support our municipal programs and services. In our
continued efforts to serve our residents, visitors and businesses,
senior management staff collectively developed improved
customer service procedures in support of our continued
efforts to provide the highest quality of service – The
Barnstable Way.
On July 6, 2018, the Town of Barnstable filed a lawsuit in
Federal District court against the largest manufacturers of
prescription opioids and their related companies and against
the country’s largest wholesale drug distributors. As alleged in
the Town’s Complaint, the manufacturing companies pushed
highly addictive, dangerous opioids, falsely representing to
doctors that patients would only rarely succumb to drug
addiction, while the distributors breached their legal duties to
monitor, detect, investigate, refuse, and report suspicious
orders of prescription opioids. Because prescription opioids
are a highly addictive substance, in 1970 Congress designed a

The 44thAnnual Cape Cod Lifesaving Competition was
held at Craigville Beach on Friday, August 10th. I was on hand
to welcome teams from all over Cape Cod and one team from
Ogunquit, Maine. Eleven teams competed in Surf and Non-
Surf Divisions. Barnstable Lifeguards have won Non-Surf
Division 10 Years in a Row. The Town of Barnstable’s
lifeguards have been competing in the Cape Cod Lifesaving
Competition for over 30 years. Congratulations, Barnstable

The recycling market continues to change relative to solid
waste management. The lack of a market to dispose of single
stream recyclables has made it necessary to resume source
separation of recyclables, develop a more aggressive waste
stream reduction program(s), and modify our operations at the
Transfer Station. I spoke with John Fischer at the
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection
(MassDEP) regarding the recycling market change. DEP is
actively working with communities, and vendors to identify
markets for various recyclable products recognizing that the
single stream approach no longer works in this market. On
October 1, 2018, the Town of Barnstable Transfer Station
returned to accepting only separated recyclables. This means
that they no longer be accepting single stream recycling. There
will be separate containers for cardboard, paper, glass, plastic,
and metal. While we understand that the new program may
not be as convenient as single stream recycling, economic
factors over the past year have caused the recycling market to
significantly change. This operational modification will allow
us to better manage the recycling program.
As a follow up to our workshop on the Municipal Dredge
Program, we did receive an opinion from Bond Council that
use of the special revenue fund for sewer and private roads is
an acceptable source of funding for this program. We also
received an opinion from the Massachusetts Department of
Revenue (DOR) that in certain circumstances Community
Preservation Act (CPA) funds would be an eligible funding
source for the program.
On August 29, 2018, Lt. Governor Karyn Polito met with
members of the Cape Cod Delegation, Dan Knapick,
Yarmouth Town Administrator, and I to discuss how the Baker-
Polito Administration is serving our communities. We
discussed the effectiveness of ongoing programs, opportunities
to improve programs, and upcoming initiative. Governor
Baker and Lt. Governor Polito take time to understand our
TOWN MANAGER REPORT
needs, are accessible to us, and provide municipalities with
real assistance beyond any administration I have had the
privilege of working with. After that session, we attended the
announcement by Lt. Governor Polito that the Town of
Barnstable’s 2018 Navigational Dredging Pilot Program grant
application in the amount of $1,000,000 had been approved.
The Baker-Polito Administration’s commitment to supporting
municipalities and their infrastructure, and their
understanding of coastal resilience has moved Cape Cod
forward toward a sustainable future and greatly assisted the
Town in a needed infrastructure project the supports our
environment, recreational use, and economy. I also want to
thank the Cape Cod Delegation for their support and the
Barnstable Clean Water Coalition who provided the financial
match (over $1.0M) in permitting the project used as the basis
for the grant application.
We continue our discussions with Vineyard Wind (VW)
relative to their proposal to construct transmission facilities
that would interconnect with a proposed off-shore windfarm
in federal waters. As I understand the process there are
several efforts proceeding concurrently relative to this
project’s approval including review by the Energy Facilities
Siting Board (EFSB), Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act
Office (MEPA), discussion with host communities regarding
Host Community Agreements, and an Article 97 Land
Deposition request to Conservation Commission and Town
Council in Barnstable.
The West Barnstable Civic Association requested that the
Town make the stocking of adult river herring in the West
Barnstable Mill Pond a priority. On September 6, 2018 I sent
the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries a letter
requesting restocking in the spring of 2019 to restore the
traditional herring run at West Barnstable’s Mill Pond.
On Saturday, September 22, 2018 the Harwich Town
Manager and I participated in the traditional “Pass the
Hammer” ceremony for the Tenth Annual Big Fix, a
community service event devoted to helping low-income
homeowners on Cape Cod that will be coming to Barnstable.
The Big Fix is an annual event that supports the impactful
work of Housing Assistance Corporation in three ways:
• Raising much needed funds to enrich and enhance
our existing services;
• Providing invaluable assistance to veterans, seniors
and disabled homeowners with clean-up, landscaping,
and small home repair projects; and
• Offering a meaningful and hands-on experience for
volunteers on the day of the event.

I met with the Board of Health (BOH) on a number of
occasions to provide a Comprehensive Water Management
Plan update and further discussed the proposal to eliminate or
modify Chapter 360 Article XV. Protection of Saltwater
Estuaries Interim regulations.
In our continued efforts to fulfill the goals of the Town
Council strategic plan, we have developed an action plan to
initiate, implement, and deliver specific objectives associated
with Town Council’s Strategic Plan Priority areas. The specific
request is the creation of a Town Council appointed Ad Hoc
Committee to work with and advise staff and ultimately report
back to Town Council on stated objectives in the area of
Economic Development.
I met with Barnstable County Commissioner Leo
Cakounes regarding the status on the Barnstable County Fire
Training Academy. We agreed to meet until we reach a unified
position regarding all matters concerning the facility. The
immediate concern is regarding water usage in fire response
exercises on site. We will continue to work with the County
and the Department of Environmental Protection to ensure
protections of our down gradient water supply. I receive a
scope of work for Town Councilor Paul Hebert regarding a
proposal from a consultant to the County to review the
extraction well down gradient of the Fire Training Academy in
an effort to identify efficiencies that might be gains at that
facility. I have inquired to County Administrator as to the
status of that proposal.
Following the July 17, 2018 Town Council meeting at
which the County Administrator provided an update on the
Fire Training Academy (FTA), Assistant Town Manager Andy
Clyburn, requested permission to facilitate a discussion
between the County and Joint Base Cape Cod (JBCC) officials
on the potential for locating a new FTA facility on JBCC.
Assistant Town Manager Clyburn felt as though the FTA
initiative was in alignment with JBCC’s plans to create a
premier law enforcement and first responder training venue,
capitalizing on the synergies of military training. At a
minimum our goal was to put JBCC in the minds of County
officials as one viable alternative as they began their alternative
analysis. Mr. Clyburn was the Coast Guard Base Commander
on JBCC prior to retiring and joining our staff here in
Barnstable. I agreed with him and gave him authorization to
proceed with introductions and told him to feel free to assist
the County in any way he could. Mr. Clyburn was successful
in getting JBCC officials engaged on the issue. He worked with
JBCC leadership to get a high level briefing with Brigadier
General Faux, JBCC Executive Director, and the County on
August 30, 2018. The briefing was extremely well received;
everything presented by the County was in line with JBCC’s
vision and the General was extremely enthusiastic to continue
discussions. It seemed as though JBCC was most definitely a
viable alternative to be considered. Subsequently the FTA
initiative was briefed to the Base Commanders at the
September 6, 2018 Joint Oversight Group (JOG) meeting;
where it was again very well received and plans were made to
move into more detailed discussions at the staff level (Facilities
Engineering and Environmental staffs). It is my understanding,
after discussions with Barnstable County Administrator Jack
Yunits, that we are in a transitional period as the County plans
to cease use of the BCFTA and relocate to Joint Base Cape
Cod (JBCC). We recognize the need to provide our first
responders with a facility to training and through the Assistant
Town Manager Clyburn have provided direct support toward
this outcome. We will now shift our focus to the cleanup of
the BCFTA. We have begun discussions with senior officials
at the Department of Environmental Protection regarding this
effort.
The Barnstable Youth Commission and the Barnstable
Police Department’s Community Impact Unit hosted a
Community Substance Abuse Prevention Forum on October

DPW will manage maintenance. We will coordinate with the

DPW staff has prepared a new source alternatives
evaluation report in our efforts to maintain existing and
provide future water supply in the Hyannis Water System.
This report includes options to improve existing public water
supply wells and identify future locations for future potential
public water supply wells. The Massachusetts Fish & Wildlife
parcel is identified as one of several viable sites in close
proximity to the Hyannis Water System and discussion
continue to progress on siting of a future public water supply
on the Fish & Wildlife 250 acre parcel immediately abutting
the Hyannis Water System. Another site identified in this
report that we are proceeding with preliminary investigation is
the County Farm site. As part of the Town settling its dispute
with the County regarding PFOAS contamination of the Mary
Dunn Wells, the Town secured an Access Agreement from the
County to perform exploratory investigation of the County
farm for future potential water supply wells. We have begun
planning for a broader discussion of public water supply wells
and the need to update the delineation of zones of
contribution to public water supply wells as future potential
water supplies are identified.
The Town of Barnstable has entered into a two-year
contract for electricity supply for all of the municipal electric
accounts. A competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process
was administered by the Cape Light Compact, who acted as
agent on behalf of the forty participating public entities on the
Cape and Martha’s Vineyard, which included towns, fire
districts, school districts, and others. The Compact does not
charge towns for this service. The Compact does this as a
service to towns that choose to participate. All the towns on
the Cape and Vineyard, except Bourne, participated. The
Compact received three bids to supply a firm fixed price for
electricity. The Town of Barnstable’s representative to the
Compact, David Anthony, was present on the bid due date,
and participated in the selection of the winning bid. The
winning bidder was NextEra Energy Services, who is the
supplier for the Town’s current contract, and had offered the
best combination of price and contract terms and conditions.
The Town’s new contract, which runs from July 2019 through
July 2021, provides the Town with a fixed supply rate of 9.651
cents/kWh, only very slightly above the current rate of 9.614
cents/kWh. The contract does not allow for any pass through
charges, including any pass through costs for changes in law
that may occur during the term. This protects the Town by
eliminating the town’s exposure to fluctuating market
electricity prices and changes in law that could impact
electricity supply rates on a state or federal level
Under the Cape Light Compact Light Fixture Program we
have upgraded lighting at 200 Main Street ($23,900),
Barnstable Police Station ($45,700), School Administration
Building ($35,400), and work pending at the Hyannis Youth &
Community Building ($250,000). The lighting upgrades have
improved working conditions and are expected to result in
further energy efficiency cost savings.
In our continued efforts to maintain safe and functional
access/egress from municipal facilities, we have coordinated
with the Cape Cod Commission (CCC) staff to evaluate
vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian use along the Route 28 corridor
at the Barnstable Intermediate School and Barnstable Senior
Center. Based on a prior request from Town staff, Cape Cod
Commission staff gathered data at this location last week
during school drop-off and pick-up times. After processing the
data collected, they will share the results with Town staff.
Additional counts are required for signal warrant analysis.
They plan to conduct these counts by the end of the calendar
year. We anticipate CCC staff assistance in the preparation of
the signal warrant analysis with the intent of bringing a capital
improvement project request forward through the Cape Cod
Joint Transportation Committee (CCJTC) for
recommendation as a Transportation Improvement Program
(TIP) funded project for Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO) consideration.
I have submitted a letter to the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) on behalf of the Town of Barnstable,
expressing our grave concerns regarding the FCC proposal
which would upset the longstanding understanding of the
meaning of franchise fee and strip power from local
governments to control cable operators’ use of the rights of way
when providing non-cable services. For decades, franchise fees
have been understood to be limited to monetary payments and
would thus not include any in-kind franchise requirements
such as services, facilities or equipment related to the
establishment or operation of a cable system. In-kind
considerations can include: institutional network (“I-Net”)
requirements, complementary cable service to government
buildings, and public, educational and governmental (“PEG”)
channels. The fair market value assessments of these invaluable
programs would lead to deductions from franchise fees by
Comcast, opening the door to legal challenges. Further, this
loss of revenue and support would force Barnstable to either
divert resources away from core municipal and school services
to maintain existing PEG programming and impacting future
programming. Equally as concerning, this new Rule would
allow certain cable operators to construct and install facilities
and equipment for non-cable services, such as small cells or
other wireless deployments, in the rights of way without any
local regulation or compensation. Barnstable’s franchise
agreements do not include provisions related to the installation
of non-cable facilities, and consequently, under this new FCC
Rule, local franchising authorities would be preempted from
regulating these installations, raising aesthetic and public safety
concerns.

The Massachusetts Department of Environmental
Protection met on January 16, 2019 in response to a petition

treatment technology standards for PFAS in drinking water.
We attended the meeting to provide written comments and to
make a short oral statement.
The Massachusetts Department of Environmental
Protection held a meeting on January 16, 2019 in response to a
petition from the Conservation Law Foundation and Toxics
Action Center. DPW Director Dan Santos gave oral testimony
at a DEP hearing in Boston on a petition by the Conservation
Law Foundation requesting the DEP establish drinking water
standards for PFAS’s and to immediately adopt a Health
Advisory level for PFAS’s at 20 parts per trillion. The current
advisory level is 70 parts per trillion. Adopting a 20 parts per
trillion standard would have a significant impact on the
Hyannis Water Systems. Director Santos testified that the
State should proceed under their current system of evaluating
new maximum contaminant levels on the basis of public health
studies, cost/benefits, available treatment technologies, and
sampling protocols. He further pointed out that DEP needs
consistent policies and procedures regarding how sources of
contamination are regulated and enforced to support its review
of PFAS drinking water standards. https://www.mass.gov/lists/

use is allowed by zoning. The goal of the tool is to make
zoning regulations more accessible to the public and provide
potential applicants a starting-point for conversation with
Town planning staff. Barnstable is participating in this one-

The Town of Barnstable and Cape Cod Commission are
exploring a joint application for a U.S. Department of
Transportation BUILD grant for improvement of the two-lane
portion Yarmouth Road corridor between Route 28 and Route
6. This project is an implementation of the Hyannis Access
Study, a long-range plan to improve access to and within
Hyannis. The reconstruction of Yarmouth Road includes
converting the roadway into a four-lane boulevard and the
addition of a bicycle/pedestrian path connecting the Cape Cod
Rail Trail to the transit hub. Applications are expected to be
available in the spring of 2019.
The Town of Barnstable’s new website went live the first

We scheduled a progress meeting for January 7, 2019 with
Fish & Wildlife to discuss the future potential to siting water
supply wells on the 250 acre parcel owned by the
Commonwealth that directly abuts the Hyannis public water
supply. The Town desires to continue working with
MassWildlife to finalize an agreement that would enable the
Town to install public water supply wells on the 250-acre
Hyannis Ponds Wildlife Management Area (WMA). Given the
pressure of providing water supply to meet demands, the
process needs to progress without haste. The Town seeks an
agreement with the following elements:
a. That the Town and MassWildlife sign an agreement by
March 31, 2019, describing the conditions for the
investigation and possible use of WMA for water
supply wells.
b. The agreement will allow the Town to install up to 4
water supply wells, appurtenances and underground
piping on the WMA.
c. The agreement with MassWildlife must provide the
Town either ownership or complete control and access
over the Zone 1 areas of any new wells installed on the

The Town received a Municipal Vulnerability
Preparedness (MVP) grant from the Commonwealth in 2018
to continue climate change resiliency planning and is working
with partners from the Cape Cod Commission, Cape Cod
Cooperative Extension, and Woods Hole Sea Grant to
complete this effort. The Town of Barnstable hosted a
community planning event to explore how we are impacted by
natural hazards and to develop a comprehensive strategy to
reduce potential risks, improve our ability to recover quickly
after major hazard events, and improve our overall resilience.
Through the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness process,
the participants will explore current and future vulnerabilities
to our infrastructure, community, and environment resulting
from natural hazards and changing climate conditions and
develop and prioritize municipal and community response
actions. During the MVP workshop, participants will work
with local and regional leaders to:
• Characterize the hazards facing the community
• Identify community vulnerabilities and hazards
• Identify and prioritize potential community actions
• Determine overall priority actions for the community
This workshop was a product of the Town of Barnstable’s
participation in the Commonwealth’s Municipal Vulnerability
Preparedness (MVP) program and provides support for towns
in Massachusetts to plan for and implement projects that
mitigate the impacts of climate change and natural hazards.
Communities that complete the MVP program become
certified as an "MVP community" and are eligible for State
grant funding and other opportunities.
I attended a meeting of legislators, state agency and
municipal officials to discuss the implementation of the Cape
Cod and Islands Water Protection Funds. Our specific
discussion focused on the Act’s establishment of a Management
Board and its duties relevant to Cape Cod and Islands Water
Protection Funds. Within the Act in Section 20 it states that
“There shall be a Cape Cod and Islands Water Protection Fund
Management Board that shall consist of 1 person to be
appointed by each board of selectmen or town council in each
municipality that is a member of the Cape Cod and Islands
Water Protection Fund; provided, however, that an appointee of
a board of selectmen or town council shall be a member of the
respective appointing authority, a town manager, town
administrator or other municipally employed professional staff.
I encouraged the Town Council to appoint said Board member
expeditiously to assure that Barnstable is formally represented.
I also brought the Town Council’s attention to the duties
of the Board as stated in the Act as follows:. “The management
board’s duties shall be limited to determining the method for
subsidy allocation, including, but not limited to, an equitable
distribution among participating municipalities consistent with
revenue deposited from each municipality into the fund, and to
ensuring that money from the Cape Cod and Islands Water
Protection Fund is spent only for the purposes in section 19.”
The opinion of our Bond Counsel was that the Board has
greater discretionary authority to redistribute said funding. At
the meeting referenced above there was a discussion regarding
an opportunity to modify the enabling statute as the Governor
and Martha’ Vineyard and Nantucket had suggested changes.
Therefore, if there is an opportunity to modify this legislation
we should submit proposed language changes as deemed
appropriate by the Town Council. I offer the following changes
for your consideration: seek a legislative change that provides
the Governing Board a weighted vote or at least a super majority
if amounts awarded exceed the amounts contributed by given
community to the fund.
I was asked by Lt. Governor Polito to serve on a Municipal
Work Group consisting of Mayors, City and Town Managers.
Topics of discussion included Community Compact, Municipal
Modernization Bill, and Housing Choice Bill.
We have continued our efforts at the West Barnstable

program for Town Manager review and approval as appropriate.
The range shall be operated by the BPD in strict compliance
with all gun range safety requirements and best practices.
The Town of Barnstable received an FY2019 Earmark from

the Hyannis Water System notified MassDEP of our ongoing
and additional action to address any concerns related to PFOS.
MassDEP will continue to work us as they progress through
their review of the PFOS standard. The process will continue
for months if not a year. We made changes to our system
operation to meet the states proposed goal and we will
continue to provide drinking water that meets all state and
federal standards.

on different parking management implementation topics.
The Town Welcome Center at Bismore Park officially
opened for the 2019 season on Friday, April 26th. Open seven
days a week and creating a positive first impression for over
50,000 visitors a season, our courteous and knowledgeable
Gateway Greeter team provides access to current information
on points of interest, events, museums, performance venues,

I joined Lt. Governor Karyn Polito and Housing and
Economic Development Secretary Mike Kennealy to celebrate
Barnstable’s participation in the Administration’s Housing
Choice Initiative. We were joined by community leaders who
spoke of the importance that improving and increasing
housing supply has to our economy and who spoke in favor of
the Governor’s Housing Choice legislation that calls for
targeted zoning reform to advance new housing production in
Massachusetts and support the administration’s goal to
produce 135,000 new housing units by 2025. The Town of
Barnstable was selected as a Housing Choice Community in
May of 2018, received a grant of $250,000 in October 2018
that was accepted by the Town Council in November 2018.
On Tuesday, June 4, I participated in a panel discussion
hosted by the Greater Hyannis Civic Association regarding the
Barnstable County Fire Training Academy (BCFTA).
Barnstable County officials did announce that outdoor fire
training exercises would cease as of June 15, 2019. Our focus
continues to be on the cleanup of the BCFTA site.

Congressman William Keating’s Office District Policy Advisor
Andrew Nelson met with the Assistant Town Manager and me
to discuss how they might assist on this matter. They have
reached out to EPA and are coordinating a meeting with EPA,
DEP, Barnstable County and the Town of Barnstable in late
June to discuss the next steps in cleaning up the BCFTA.
On behalf of the Town I submitted a Letter of Intent on
May 28, 2019 in response to the Statement of Need issued for
Joint Base Cape Cod (JBCC) regarding the Town’s interest in
water and wastewater facilities at JBCC. The Letter of intent
was received and taken under advisement.
The Cape Cod Commission is responsible for tracking
implementation of the Cape Cod Area Wide Water Quality
Management Plan Update (208 Plan Update) and reporting to
United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) on
progress. The 2017 208 Plan Update Implementation Report
included a recommendation that reports be developed to
document action in each of the Cape’s community. Working
with US EPA and MassDEP, and with feedback from the Cape
Cod Water Protection Collaborative, the Commission
established criteria to be included in these reports and has
developed a draft for each community. A Barnstable report has
been prepared and is under review. Best efforts have been
made by the Commission staff to capture water quality and
wastewater related actions. However, they want to be sure that
they have included all pertinent information and that the
information is accurate. Our staff is reviewing and providing
feedback, additions, and/or edits by the end of the day on
Friday, June 28. Once feedback has been received, the
Commission staff will incorporate any modifications and
provide reports to MassDEP and US EPA.
Barnstable and Yarmouth are one of four Massachusetts
municipal teams selected by LOCUS and Smart Growth
America, affiliate organizations advocating for healthy,
prosperous, and resilient communities, to participate in the
“Massachusetts Opportunity Zone Academy”. The Academy
aims to ensure that Massachusetts communities are prepared to
make the most of the federal Opportunity Zones tax incentive.
The Hyannis commercial and downtown areas are a designated
Opportunity Zone. Participation in the Academy consists of
technical assistance to equip our community with the tools,
skills and knowledge necessary to promote sustainable growth
and development. Our staff met with national and regional
leaders and host LOCUS experts to identify key community
priorities and action items to achieve smart growth
development, public and private investment, and equity goals.
On June 12, 2019, the towns of Barnstable, Mashpee,
Falmouth, Bourne and Sandwich met with Joint Base Cape
Cod to discuss the regional efforts to evaluate JBCC for
potential future use for wastewater treatment and disposal.
One of the matters discussed was the May 28, 2019 the Letter
of Intent submitted by the Town of Barnstable in response to
the Statement of Need issued for Joint Base Cape Cod (JBCC)
regarding the Town’s interest in water and wastewater facilities
at JBCC.
On June 14, 2019, Director of Public Works Dan Santos
convened a kick-off meeting of Barnstable’s water purveyors to
commence our ongoing efforts to communicate and coordinate
relative to the many challenges facing public water supplies. I
had the opportunity to thank the water purveyors for
participating, provide an overview of the comprehensive issues
we face in protecting our water resources, and offer to partner
on any and all relevant issues. Director Santos continued the
discussion relative to future meetings focusing on such topics
as PFOS/PFOA and other contaminants, townwide water
supply planning, and Barnstable's Comprehensive Wastewater
Management Plan.
In concluding this annual report we could not accomplish
our objectives without dedicated staff. Our municipal and
school employees have given their all again this year. We
recognize the dedication of 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 every day to bring resources to our community.
Barnstable has a legacy of commitment to others and we are a
stronger community because of their service. That’s The
Barnstable Way.
Our budgets and resulting municipal programs and
services seek to improve the quality of life of our residents,
ensure public safety, protect our natural resources, provide a
quality public education, and deliver government services
efficiently. In FY2019, we have continued to maintain our
fiscal stability, spent within our means, and perform prudently
while planning 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. That’s The Barnstable Way.

Town of Barnstable receives Government Finance Officers Association
Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the 18th Year in a Row!
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) is pleased to announce that the Town
of Barnstable, Massachusetts has received the GFOA's Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its budget for the
fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018. The award represents a significant achievement by the entity. It reflects the commitment of
the governing body and staff to meeting the highest principles of governmental budgeting. In order to receive the budget award,
the entity had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation. These guidelines are designed to
assess how well an entity's budget serves as: a policy document; a financial plan; an operations guide; and a communication
device. Budget documents must be rated "proficient" in all four categories, and the fourteen mandatory criteria within those
categories, to receive the award. The Certificate of Recognition for Budget Achievement was presented to Town Manager Mark
Ells. Finance Director Mark Milne is also recognized for his efforts.
FINANCE OPERATIONS
106 THE BARNSTABLE WAY
The Treasury Division provides oversight for the investment
policies, cash management, debt management and collection
of real estate liens. Other primary responsibilities of the
Treasurer’s office are 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. The Treasury also oversees the issuance
and disbursement of all vendor payments.
The Collector is responsible for the billing and collection of
real estate, personal property tax bills, motor vehicle and
boat excise tax bills, sewer usage and charges for road, water,
sewer and septic betterments.
The Treasurer and Collector offices were consolidated into a
combined Treasurer Collector office in June of 2019. The
Treasurer/Collector’s office interacts with all School and
Town Departments in an effort to provide excellent customer
service to our employees, taxpayers, citizens and the general
public.
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 $32,042,961.48 as of June 30,
2019.
FISCAL YEAR 2019 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
I am once again pleased to report that Standard & Poor’s
rating agency has assigned its “AAA” long-term rating and
stable outlook to the Town of Barnstable’s 2019 General
Obligation Bonds (GOB). “AAA” is the highest rating
possible and is a major factor in Barnstable receiving more
bidders for our bonds and a lower interest rate when
borrowing for our capital projects.
• On February 26, 2019 the Town issued a $10,540,000 GOB
borrowing with a competitive interest rate of 2.50% and
completed a $2,052,950 General Obligation Borrowing
Anticipation Note (BAN) with an interest rate of 3.05% for
expenditures related to several private road repair projects.
• 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 $18,800,000 during FY2019 for
over 160 different projects.
• 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 of the
Korean War Veterans Association and Town management
for the successful transfer of ownership and maintenance 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 $200,000 from the Kirkman Trust Fund for
expenditure by our Cemetery Division for beautification and
FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS

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

for the field and building construction as well as a new three
year food service contract.
The major procurement activities for the Airport this
past fiscal year included the competitive process and award of
the airport planning and on call engineering services
contracts. The most complex and important procurement
activity for this past fiscal year for the Airport involved the
solicitation of proposals for a new lease at the Capetown

MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
For more than two years, this office has been engaged with
Vineyard Wind which proposes to build the country’s largest
windfarm in federal waters south of Martha’s Vineyard and
to connect its power cables to the regional power grid via a
substation in Independence Park, Hyannis. The substation
will have transformers that contain highly toxic cooling fluids
directly upstream from the Town’s vital Mary Dunn Road
public water supply. Following months of intense
negotiations and in consultation with management, a Host
Community Agreement was reached with Vineyard Wind.
The agreement will fund an intense peer-review of the
containment designs for the substation, will address a host of
issues dealing with the cable landfall at Covell’s Beach, and
will provide up to $32 million dollars for mitigation efforts
to protect the town’s water supplies. The agreement will also
provide millions of dollars in tax revenue over the project
life.
The legal department appeared, argued and briefed on behalf
of the Town as participant in the administrative
(Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection)
appeal of the combined permit (maintenance dredging and
water quality) for Three Bays Preservation, Inc. to dredge the
Cotuit entrance channel at the west end of Sampson’s Island
and use the dredge material to re-nourish habitat at the east
end of Dead Neck. After a three day hearing the permit
grant was upheld and the first phase of the dredge was
completed in January.
In a cooperative effort between the developer, the
homeowner’s association and the Planning Board, the Legal
Department was able to craft a settlement agreement which
will ensure the completion of the Whistleberry subdivision,
after thirty years.
A forty-nine year lease was negotiated with WS Landing at
Hyannis, LLC, the successful bidder for the redevelopment
of the Capetown Plaza. The Airport will garner significant
yearly revenue from the leasing of this property and the
redevelopment of the site will generate increased tax dollars.
Responding to direction from the Town Council, a dedicated
and focused group of town employees from a variety of
departments, most prominently the Airport, the Town
Manager’s office and the Procurement Division, worked
together to bring this matter to fruition.
MAJOR PROJECTS
The Legal Department, as part of a team consisting of the
Town Administration, the Town Council leadership, the
Finance Director and the Department of Public Works, has
been addressing legal issues attendant to the implementation
of the Town’s 30 year Comprehensive Wastewater
Management Plan.
As part of our office’s core responsibilities, we continued to
provide legal advice and support to the Town Council, the
Town Administration, and all of the town’s departments and
boards and commissions and to appear in various courts and
administrative agencies on the town’s behalf. Of these
matters, 36 matters are currently in litigation (which does not
include cases pending before administrative agencies).
I must acknowledge and extend my deep gratitude for the
continued hard work and dedication of the Legal
Department’s professional team comprised of David
Houghton, Esq., First Assistant Town Attorney; Charles S.
McLaughlin, Jr., Esq., Assistant Town Attorney; and
paralegals, Marylou Fair and Susan Robbins. We are

MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 117
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 THE BARNSTABLE WAY
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 FY2019 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 1,724 people, with a payroll in
excess of $73.8 million dollars, with a total economic impact
on the region in excess of $157.2 million dollars.
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
by the Federal Aviation Administration in accordance with
14 CFR Part 139; 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. As of 2018, the town received
over $578,000 from airport tenants in the form of real-estate
taxes. The Airport’s property is made up of a mix of aviation
and non-aviation parcels, which allows the airport to diversify
its revenue stream. For instance, the airport hosts a 20-acre
ground mounted solar array and the 27-acre parcel that for
years has been known as the “Capetown Plaza” (and also
known as the KMART plaza) is located on land controlled by
the Barnstable Municipal Airport, and has operated under a
ground lease since the 1940’s; however, both are considered
non-aviation parcels that the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) requires remain under airport control. As new
development emerges on the KMART Plaza parcel, the Town
of Barnstable will benefit from an increase in taxes as new
commercial development is added to the property.
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 FAA. 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.
118 THE BARNSTABLE WAY
BARNSTABLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
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; 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 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 639-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
purpose.
FY 2019 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
• Maintained compliance with FAA FAR Part 139 and
Massachusetts Department of Transportation (DOT)
Aeronautics Division airport safety and certification
requirements.
• Continued seasonal daily JetBlue 100-passenger jet service
between New York and Hyannis for the sixth year! 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 FY2020 and
beyond. Dates and schedule to be determined.
• Welcomed Cape Air’s new year-round service between New
York (JFK) and Hyannis that began in October 2018!
• Completed Request for Proposal Development (RFP), bid,
bid award and draft Agreement/Lease for development
and lease of Capetown Plaza, a 27-acre commercial/retail
parcel that will garner the airport $150M over the life of
the 49-year lease. Sought and received approval from Town
Council for 49-year length of term for land lease.
• Finalized the 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. Implemented a new
online Instrument Panel Tracking System and 12-month
action plan that is shareable to report progress. Goals of the
overall plan include:
- Goal A - Maximize General Aviation Activity at HYA
- Goal B - Diversity Revenue Streams
- Goal C - Become Regional Air Transportation Leader
- Goal D - Enhance Airport Image & Branding
• Started a new flying club at the Airport, the Experimental
Aircraft Association Chapter 51 in February 2019.
• 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 Nashville, TN meeting with a number of
airlines (JetBlue, American Airlines, Allegiant, Southern
Airways Express, and Cape Air) to attract additional service.
• 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 FY2019, its 4th full year of
production, exceeded the Guaranteed Annual Output
(GAO) by 37%. The following table depicts revenues
received to date.
The drop in revenues for FY2017 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

The drop in revenues for FY2017 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 as did FY2019. 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 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

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 55,493 total in FY2019; an 86.8% decline.
Airport operations declined as well from a high of 130,503
in FY2007 to 66,452 in FY2019; a 49% decrease.
The dip in the economy was not the only factor that
affected aviation activity and revenues at the Airport. Factors

Assistant Airport Manager
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 (see table below), which account for over 50% of the
airport’s revenue, followed by aeronautical land lease rentals;
various fees such as landing and parking fees, car concession
fees, vehicle parking and other user fees collected from
airlines and concessionaires; non-aeronautical land lease
rentals; other concessions and solar array revenues. 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.

Mass Casualty Incident Drill at Barnstable Municipal Airport
The 2018 Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) Drill at Barnstable Municipal Airport on Wednesday, September 5th was a success.
Barnstable Municipal Airport conducted full scale emergency drills as part of an in-depth exercise involving safety protocols. The
drills were conducted on the airport grounds and also at Lewis Bay in Hyannis. The exercise simulated
a mock scenario of an aircraft accident. While actual aircraft were not used in the drill, fire departments set up multiple training
fires and used other emergency simulators to test the airport staff and the airport’s emergency response plan. Airport Manager
Katie Servis tells us that “It was well organized, well planned and gave us great opportunity to identify next steps, more training
and new opportunities.”
Thank You to the Airport Staff, Hyannis Fire Department, Barnstable Police Department, Cape Cod and Falmouth Hospitals,
the U.S. Coast Guard, Federal Aviation Administration, Massachusetts Department of Transportation-Aeronautics
Division, Yarmouth Fire Department, American Red Cross-Cape Cod Chapter, the local airlines, Barnstable Marine &
Environmental Affairs, Barnstable Community Services Department and all of the public safety and first responders
from other Cape Cod communities who participated in the event.

Town of Barnstable Planning & Development Director Elizabeth Jenkins welcomes participants
to the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Workshop
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
The Town of Barnstable hosted a community planning event to explore how we are impacted by natural hazards and to develop a
comprehensive strategy to reduce potential risks, improve our ability to recover quickly after major hazard events, and improve
our overall resilience. Through the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness process, participants explore current and future
vulnerabilities to our infrastructure, community, and environment resulting from natural hazards and changing climate
conditions and develop and prioritize municipal and community response actions. This workshop is a product of the Town of
Barnstable’s participation in the Commonwealth’s Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) program. This program provides
support for towns in Massachusetts to plan for and implement projects that mitigate the impacts of
climate change and natural hazards. Communities that complete the MVP program become certified as an "MVP community"
and are eligible for State grant funding and other opportunities.
Congratulations to Arts & Culture Coordinator
Melissa Hersh Chartrand!
At the Hyannis Main Street Business Improvement District’s (BID) Annual Meeting
on Wednesday, October 17th, the Planning & Development Department’s Arts &
Culture Coordinator Melissa Hersh Chartrand received the Citizen Award which
goes to someone who is “the eyes and ears of Main Street.” BID Executive Director
Elizabeth Wurfbain said, “the award goes to the person with vision that brings an
artful day to Hyannis, first with shanties along the harbor and most recently with
three shanties at the overlook near the Town Green. A lot of work goes into
activating new spaces and we are happy for great collaborations.” Melissa works on
arts and culture projects throughout the Town of Barnstable twelve months of the
year. Over the years, Melissa’s efforts have been an important economic driver with
the arts and culture community for the Town of Barnstable and Cape Cod.

WEIGHTS & MEASURES PROGRAM
The Weights and Measures Program is a service of
government to protect the interests of both buyer and seller
of commodities. Our goal statement is as follows:
“To provide uniformity to all the towns served by the
Town of Barnstable Weights and Measures Program by
ensuring that equity prevails in the marketplace; to certify
that accuracy is preserved in all commerce transactions
through education, fair and evident regulation by supporting
businesses in a manner that protects both buyers and sellers
interests.”
The efforts carried out daily by the program team
provide third-party verification of the accuracy of
representations and measurements in the retail marketplace.
Inspectors test devices used to determine accuracy such as
scales, gasoline dispensers, home heating oil delivery
vehicles, taxi meters, pharmacy balances, price scanners, and
others. In addition, packaged products are inspected in
retail stores to determine accurate measurement and
compliance with labeling and advertising regulations.
What sets this program apart from others is that the
Barnstable Weights & Measures program provides services
regionally; annually inspecting approximately 4,000 devices
and 3,000 prepackaged commodities and pricing at all food
stores and food departments in 10 communities on Cape
Cod: Barnstable, Bourne, Brewster, Chatham, Dennis,
Harwich, Mashpee, Orleans, Sandwich and Yarmouth.
The Licensing Department is comprised
of two different programs: Weights &
Measures and Licensing.

Major Accomplishments FY2019
• Jesse Schechtman, PGA Professional at Hyannis Golf
Course. was given the “Merchandiser of the Year Award”
by New England PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association
of America) for public golf courses. The NEPGA consists
of over 750 Class A professionals representing 450 golf
facilities. This prestigious award is given to individuals
who demonstrate superior merchandising skills and the
promotion of golf. Hyannis Golf Shop revenues have more
than doubled in the last two years!
• The Golf Division has begun the multi-year transition
from traditional golf course management and maintenance
practices to that of an environmentally sustainable land
management plan for the care and upkeep of the town’s
two municipal golf courses. The long term goal is a
significant reduction in the use of pesticides and fertilizer at
the facilities. We are incorporating carbon based, biological,
microbial and organic products and protocols into our
management plan.
• Hyannis Golf Course hosted a seminar on reducing
chemical input on golf courses for all of the Cape’s
municipal golf course managers and golf committee
members. The event was presented by Frank Rossi, PhD
from Cornell University. Dr. Rossi is considered the
nation’s leading authority on low input, organic golf course
management. He has spent over 20 years researching and
developing intensive Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
programs for golf courses.
• For the seventh year in a row Olde Barnstable Fairgrounds
Golf Course received a Best in Golf award as a top 10
public course in the region as voted on by golfers.
• The Hyannis Golf Course Clubhouse building experienced
an HVAC failure that led to a water line break and
subsequent damage to the walls and ceilings in the kitchen
and main hallway. The HVAC system was replaced and all
associated damage was repaired.
Status on Performance
The Golf Division operates as an enterprise fund. In
FY2019 the Golf Division generated $3,369,843 in revenue
through fees charged, exceeding forecast revenues by $30,395.
There were 69,864 rounds played on the two courses in
FY2019. Annual Pass Holder play accounted for 65% of the
rounds played while guests played 35%. Pass Holder numbers
remain strong with over 1,201 members in all categories. The
Golf Division covered all of its operational expenses, debt
service obligations, capital improvements and made an
administrative support contribution of $250,000 to the town.
One of the main factors affecting revenues is the weather,
which is unpredictable and out of our control. The other
major factor influencing performance is local competition.
The Cape Cod golf market is saturated with golf courses for
avid golfers to choose from. It is vitally important that we
maintain high maintenance and customer service standards
to ensure we keep our share of the market.

National Volunteer Week recognized during April 7-13, 2019
This year’s theme is “Volunteers Making A Difference Every Moment”. The Town of Barnstable benefits from the service of
many volunteers every day. THANK YOU to all of those volunteers who give countless hours to serve on our various boards,
committees and commissions. Where would we be without the dedicated volunteers who work with our Recreation Division’s
Beach Sticker/Parking Permit program? Or our Senior Services volunteers who do everything from greeting
visitors at the front desk to driving the Silver Express van and Toyota Camry to helping prepare taxes during this time of year?
Or those volunteers who work assisting our staff with our Shellfish propagation program? The Barnstable Police Department’s
Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) is widely recognized as an outstanding volunteer program with volunteers serving at the front
desk and as couriers and they are a vital part of the Hyannis Main Street and West Villages Police
Substations. Barnstable Public Schools have hundreds of volunteers on a daily basis. We are truly grateful for all of you who
give back to your community and we hope that you will continue to do so. Thank you for your service!

The Future is Bright at the Barnstable Adult Community Center
While the sun may not have been in the sky
Friday, July 21, 2018 it was certainly
radiating in the room as over 350 people
attended the 20th anniversary of the
Barnstable Senior Center. The cheerful
sounds of the Cape Cod Ukulele Club got
the event off to an upbeat start. It truly was
a community celebration as participants of
all ages reflected on the past, present and
future of the facility and the valuable
impact the programs and services have had
on older adults in our community over the
past two decades. The future looks bright
as during the event it was officially
announced that the facility has been
renamed as the Barnstable Adult
Community Center and the new logo and
tagline “THRIVE WITH US!” were unveiled, as guests toasted to the future success of the facility as a welcoming place for all. It
was also revealed that the Town of Barnstable has been accepted into the World Health Organization’s Global Network of Age-
Friendly Communities.
The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority (CCRTA) enhanced the celebratory mood by presenting the Council on Aging with a
new handicapped accessible vehicle complete with a giant bow. Special recognition was given to the Barnstable Council on
Aging, Friends of the Barnstable Council on Aging and the Sunshine Crafters for their longtime support of the Senior Center.

182 THE BARNSTABLE WAY
To administer low-income benefits
under Massachusetts General Law for
needy veterans and widows of veterans
who are residents of the Town of
Barnstable and to assist veterans and
their dependents with their Veterans
Administration (VA) disability and
pension benefits.
PURPOSE STATEMENTVETERANS SERVICES
The Barnstable District Department of Veterans Services
has continued to experience growth in claims and assistance
volume due primarily to the returning Afghanistan veterans
and the aging of our veteran population. Vietnam veterans
continue to comprise the largest group of veterans in our town.
Their needs are increasing 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 fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, we had 6,063
claims office appointments and walk-ins, 9,029 incoming
telephone calls and numerous service officer home visits.
One of our two primary functions is to assist needy
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 for
elderly veterans on fixed incomes, their widows or widowers,
low-income parents of Massachusetts veterans, our disabled
veterans and for younger veterans of our town who are out of
work through no fault of their own. The Town of Barnstable,
through our office, provided more than $219,637.00 to needy
resident veterans in FY 2019. This amount includes no federal
dollars and is a benefit unique to Massachusetts. These benefits
were reimbursed to the Town at 75 percent by the
Commonwealth.
We also provide services to veterans in obtaining VA
disability and pension benefits. In 2018 this office assisted in
obtaining $11,170,500.00 in VA federal cash benefits for Town
of Barnstable veterans, widows and widowers. These benefits
were for service-connected injuries, pensions for non-service-
connected disabilities and Aid and Attendance for those in
need of home health care and assisted living. This largely tax-
free benefit is brought into our local town economy through
our Veteran Service Officers and greatly reduces the need for
Town Chapter 115 benefits.
We advocate locally and at the state and federal levels on
behalf of the deserving veterans of our district and to confront
the challenges unique to Cape Cod Veterans. We encourage
any veteran, spouse, dependent of a veteran or parent of a
veteran to contact us in their time of need.
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.

TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 191
To advise and guide the Town of
Barnstable and the general public
regarding issues of accessibility
in accordance with the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the
Massachusetts Architectural Access
Board (AAB).
PURPOSE STATEMENT
I have served as the chairman of the Barnstable
Disability Commission since August of this year. Although
my predecessor, Sabrina Kane, was chair during the year this
report covers, I was a full voting member at the time and
participated in discussion and votes.
In the past fiscal year, the Barnstable Disability
Commission has been very active in our purpose to advise
and guide the Town of Barnstable in accessibility and the
Americans with Disabilities Act ADA. Some of the major
accomplishments this past year we’re proud of include:
• The awarding of six (6) Disability Scholarships to Barnstable
residents graduating high school and intending to continue
their education. Each scholarship is $1,250.
• Working with the Town’s Parking Enforcement and
Department of Public Works to ensure all handicap parking
signs on town properties meet the required height under the
ADA.
• Also affixing to all handicap parking signs, a placard
indicating the $200 fine for violations.
• Assisting Barnstable Public Schools with the purchase of a
new assistive listening device system for the BHS Performing
Arts Center.
ACCESSIBILITY FOR ALL
Respectfully submitted,
Marc Brunco
Chair
Our ongoing work into this fiscal year includes our
Disability Awareness Poster campaign. Commissioning a local
artist to design them, and currently hanging in town
buildings, they help to raise awareness of accessibility matters
as well as relay our commission’s contact information should
anyone need guidance. We also intend over the coming fiscal
year to prepare to submit a grant application to the
Massachusetts Office on Disabilities, for the purpose of
funding a comprehensive self-assessment of the accessibility
of public buildings and property across the Town.
If you are interested in attending a meeting or curious
about our work, please feel free to reach out to Tammy
Cunningham, Assistant Human Resources Director at
Tammy.Cunningham@town.barnstable.ma.us. Our
committee currently meets on the third Wednesday of each
month in a handicap accessible venue. Our committee

194 THE BARNSTABLE WAY
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 responsible for identifying the needs of the public and
adopting, amending or eliminating regulations to address
issues. The Board is also charged with interpreting and
enforcing local and state regulations that pertain to public
health.
The Board is comprised of three members plus an
alternate. In June of 2019, as per the Town Charter, board
leadership elections were held and John T. Norman was
elected Chairman of the Board of Health. The other
Board members are Paul J. Canniff, D.M.D., Donald A.
Guadagnoli, M.D., and alternate member F.P Tom Lee.
The Board held several public hearings regarding a
proposal to modify an eleven year old interim regulation
entitled: Protection of Saltwater Estuaries. This Regulation
restricts wastewater discharge flows to 440 gallons per acre per
day within designated Saltwater Estuary Protection Districts.
The proposal was to limit its applicability to the Craigville
Beach Zoning District. Although public sewer is planned
to be constructed in many areas of Town as depicted in the
Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan, a majority
of the citizens who attended the hearings commented in
favor of keeping the Regulation until such time the public
sewer is constructed and homes are connected. After several
well-attended public hearings were held, the Board voted on
January 22, 2019 in favor of maintaining the Regulation as it
currently exists.
Public workshops were held concerning smoking, the
use of e-cigarettes and vaping devices in public places, and
proposed restrictions regarding the sale of tobacco products.
The Board received valuable input from various business
owners, the Greater Hyannis Chamber of Commerce, police
officials, and members of the public. After several public
workshops were held, on November 27, 2018, the Board voted
to prohibit smoking at municipally-owned athletic fields,
public parks including the Village Green, public beaches, and
public transportation areas (i.e., taxi stands and bus waiting
areas) and to increase the minimum age to 21 in regards to
purchasing tobacco.
During the Spring of 2019, public workshops were held
to discuss restrictions regarding the sale of flavored nicotine/
tobacco products. On May 28, 2019, the Board voted
unanimously to restrict the sale of flavored nicotine/tobacco
products including from electronic cigarettes and vaping
devices to adult-only retail tobacco stores.
During the late autumn months of 2019, the Board
began holding public workshops to discuss design standards
for adult-only retail tobacco stores and whether non-tobacco
items could be sold within these stores. An additional
workshop will be held on January 15, 2020.
The Board continues to urge the Town Council to
disallow the sale and distribution of marijuana products at
retail stores. Last year, the Board sent a letter to the Town
Council urging them to vote to disallow sales within our
Town. The Board will continue to be available to provide the

Councilors with useful health information concerning the
short-term and long-term negative effects of marijuana use,
including serious irreversible mental illness as documented
and publicized by the National Institutes of Health and the
Centers for Disease Control (C.D.C).
The Board continues to strictly enforce its requirements
in regards to upgrading septic systems which fail to protect
the environment, health, and/or safety. Most failed systems
are identified during inspections prior to real estate sales.
Once a failed inspection report is received, Health Division
staff take quick action to notify property owners by certified
mail to repair or replace the failed septic system components.
Systems which require variances from State and/or local
health regulations are reviewed by the Board prior to granting
variances and prior to issuance of disposal works construction
permits.
The Board continues to enforce ongoing programs
including food facility sanitation, housing, sewage disposal,
hazardous materials, and fuel storage tank removals. A
total of 7,034 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 including weekly “Ask the Nurse” clinics at the
Barnstable Adult Community Center. The Health Division
continues to provide annual influenza vaccination clinics
at the Hyannis Youth & Community Center and at the St.
George Greek Orthodox Church Community Center where
outdoor drive-thru inoculations are provided.
The Board of Health meets monthly during the fourth
Tuesday afternoon of each month. Additional public
workshops are scheduled to receive valuable input from
business owners and citizens regarding proposed regulations.
All of our meetings are televised live on local Channel 18.
Videos of the meetings are also available on-demand at the
Town website for your convenience.
The Board of Health wishes to dedicate this report to
the late Town Council President James H. Crocker Jr., who
attended multiple Board of Health meetings during the
past year. Mr. Crocker was instrumental in the planning,
development, and implementation of the Comprehensive
Wastewater Management Plan specifically in regards to public
sewer. He provided many years of volunteer service to our
community. He was a valuable asset to the Town and will be
long remembered for his many years of service.

TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 197
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 2019 the Commission reviewed 33 such matters,
reflecting the continuing strong real estate market in the
Town of Barnstable. The Commission issued four (4)
demolition delays during this year for 995 Route 149,
Marstons Mills; 209 East Bay Avenue, Osterville; 2 Irving
Avenue, Hyannis Port; and one partial demolition at 101
Edgehill Road, Hyannis Port. We also voted in favor of the
full demolition of six (6) structures; located at 4424 Falmouth
Road, Cotuit; 70 Caillouet Lane, Osterville; 50 Gosnold
Street, Hyannis; 1363 Bumps River Road, Centerville; the
barn and outhouse structure at 995 Route 149, Marstons
Mills; and 1462 Main Street, Cotuit. 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 welcomed Frances Parks as a regular
voting member and Jack Kay as alternate. Several
Commissioners have been working to identify graves of early
settlers as well as taken on a gravestone cleaning initiative
which would involve certifying two individuals to help with
those efforts. We sent three letters of support; for the GB
Holbrook House, 10 Hyannis Avenue, Hyannis Port; Luther
Hamblin Homestead, 611 Santuit-Newtown Road, Marstons
Mills; and the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound.
We also wish to thank and recognize Senior Planner Paul
Wackrow of the Planning & Development Department for
his success to bid and ultimately receive the 2019 Survey and
Planning Grant as offered by the Massachusetts Historical
Commission. This grant will provide funding for a consultant
to inventory approximately eighty structures within the Town
of Barnstable which further aids our preservation efforts.
As always, we appreciate the staff support of the Planning
& Development Department, and continue to be pleased by
the efforts of Administrative Assistant Erin Logan who brings
her sharp mind and friendly personality to the Historical
desk. Also, we look forward working further with Planning &
Development Director Elizabeth Jenkins.

In addition, the Board also provides policy guidance for
all passive activities such as swimming, hiking, horseback
riding, hunting, camping and fishing.
Of course, safety continues to be a key focus area for the
board and the Sandy Neck Team. New safety policies were
introduced this year as well as providing preparedness for
shark sightings at the beach.
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, this year, both the weather and
nesting habits were not in our favor which resulted in lower
ticket sales for the Off Road Vehicle (ORV) trail. The
nesting activity presented challenges to Nina and her team
and they worked hard under their Habitat Conservation
Plans (HCP) permit to open as much beach as possible, but
ultimately our revenue was impacted negatively.
Due to the introduction of a new “app”, the Sandy Neck
team is able to communicate in advance to ORV users about
the status of the beach. This has 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 continues 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.
Fortunately, sand placed on the beach in 2018 has remained
in place due to the lack of any major storm activity. For the
past six years, we have spent an average of $58,500 per year for
sand replacement.
Storms also did significant damage to the Gatehouse
which was flooded twice. The team has now refurbished the
gatehouse in a way that will minimize any future water
incursion. The town is planning to study options to protect
the gatehouse in the future.
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 continued monitoring of this risk.
Finally, we introduced a new program called “A Place to
Heal” aimed at providing free off road permits to our
wounded warriors. The Nicholas G. Xiarhos Memorial
Foundation has partnered with the Cape Cod Foundation
and is providing funds for Veterans and Gold Star families
who meet the qualifications, to receive a Sandy Neck 2019
ORV permit. The United States Department of Veterans has
vetted this program and Veterans and Gold Star family
participation will go through The Cape Cod Vet Center in
Hyannis. A group of volunteers have made packages of
necessary equipment for the Veterans and Gold Star families.

Sandy Neck Winders Lean-to Ribbon Cutting and Dedication
On Saturday, October 20th, Sandy Neck Staff was joined by the scouts of Troop 54, as well as other dedicated volunteers, and
the family and friends of Norman J. Fontaine for the dedication of the Winders Lean-to. Mr. Fontaine, was known for his long
Sandy Neck beach excursions. Family and friends along with his employer Cape Cod Truck Service in Orleans made generous
donations to Sandy Neck for the project. The Lean-to was built in phases and started by Eagle Scout Thatcher Drake and the
scouts of Troop 47 and completed by Troop 54 and volunteers.

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 2019 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
• The Barnstable Youth Commission organized the
fifth annual Youth Summit. The Summit took place
at the Cape Cod Community College, featuring
speakers Kevin Stevens, Rob Hackenson Jr., and
Kevin Rosario. The 7th graders of Barnstable
Intermediate School came to listen to and engage
with the speakers, as well as representatives from
local non- profits and Barnstable High School. Each
speaker provided their own experience with substance
abuse, and the represented organizations were able
to establish connections with the youth that may aid
them as they move on to high school and beyond.
• The Youth Commission decided this year to separate
the fifth annual Community Substance Abuse
and Prevention Forum from the Youth Summit in
order to better position the event as an information
session for parents and members of the public. The
Barnstable Police presented the signs and equipment
of substance usage and hosted a panel discussion to
address all questions from the audience.
• The Youth Commission organized the third annual
Youth Job Fair at the Hyannis Youth and Community
Center, providing opportunities for the youth in our
community to find employment. The event attracted
over 200 students, including two busses directly from
Barnstable High School, and nearly twenty local
businesses. This event caters specifically to youth ages
fourteen to eighteen. Job coaching was also provided
by Warren Rutherford and Kevin Rutherford of The
Executive Suite.
Respectfully submitted,
Matthew McCauley
Chairperson
• The Youth Commission organized the second annual One Love
Escalation Workshop. Juniors of Barnstable High School viewed
a forty minute film depicting the story of a college senior who
becomes trapped in, and killed by, an abusive relationship. This
was followed by a group discussion of the events in the film.
Groups were led by student peers as well as adult community
members, both of which were trained by the One Love Foundation
at training sessions organized by the Youth Commission.
MAJOR UPCOMING PROJECTS OR INITIATIVES:
• We are beginning a new initiative to expand and advocate
for similar youth commissions in other towns in our greater
community of Cape Cod. Through this we hope to see
more involvement with the youth in other towns, and a new
representative group that the Barnstable Youth Commission can
work with on larger scale projects.
This was my only year as Chairman of the Commission, prior to
which I was a part of the Commission for two years. As my service
to the Town of Barnstable and this Commission comes to a close, I
find it truly inspiring how much the Town, and various other groups
and individuals have supported the Youth Commission and all our
endeavors.
It has been an honor to serve as Chairman of the Commission
and it is with great pleasure that I pass this privilege to Lucas
McCauley, who has already shown promise as a leader in the
Commission, and looks forward to taking an official leadership role
for the Town.
Speaking of all the support the commission and myself have
received this year, I’d like to thank the following individuals for their
support during my time on the Commission: Recreation Director
Patti Machado; Community Services Director Lynne Poyant; Town
Manager Mark Ells; Lt. Jean Challies of the Barnstable Police
Department; Town Councilor Matthew Levesque; among many
others.
I would also like to thank all the local businesses, organizations,
and individuals who generously aided in the funding of our work.
Nearly all of what we do is funded through donations and
fundraising, so without these groups our work simply wouldn’t exist.
I look forward to following the bright future of the Youth
Commission and wish those who follow me all the best of luck as
they continue the important work of serving as the voice of the
youth.

TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 221
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 2019 (FY19), 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 FY19 was lower on average than the utility’s basic service
residential price, 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.
In March, the Compact launched two new power supply
options, CLC Local Green 50 and CLC Local Green 100.
CAPE LIGHT COMPACT
The CLC Local Green program gives customers the ability to
support local renewable energy development by opting to pay
a small premium on their monthly electric bill. The Compact
uses this premium to purchase and retire Massachusetts Class
1 RECs to match either 50% or 100% of customers’ annual
electricity usage, in addition to the RECs retired as part of
the Compact’s standard power supply product. These RECs
are sourced from renewable energy projects in New England,
including several solar installations on Cape Cod. By
participating in CLC Local Green, customers are driving the
market to bring new renewable energy resources online at
home in New England.
At a regional level, New England continues to face
electricity pricing spikes 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 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 natural gas or electric transmission
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, 2019, the Compact had approximately
19,712 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 FY19, the Compact continued its focus on grid
modernization, joining with other parties to submit a letter to
the Department of Public Utilities (DPU) urging the opening
of an investigation on the grid-facing grid modernization
investments, including advanced metering infrastructure. This
follows the DPU’s last set of grid modernization orders in
May 2018, which approved some of the utilities’ requests but
deferred decisions on customer-facing technologies (such as
advanced metering infrastructure) to future proceedings. The
Compact and other parties are now asking the DPU to begin
where their last orders left off and start investigating how
customer-facing grid modernization technologies will be
deployed.
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 2019 brought
more than $6.2 Million of energy efficiency rebates and
incentives, awarded to more than 52,900 Participants of the
Compact’s Energy Efficiency Programs within the Town of
Barnstable, resulting in annual electricity savings of more
than 16,400,000 kWh. Notable activity includes:
• $386,390.20 spent on municipal energy efficiency projects,
saving more than 444,236 kWh annually. Municipal
entities served include the Barnstable Police Department,
Town Hall, and Public Schools.
• 957 Participants in comprehensive Home Energy
Assessments.
• 405 non-government commercial & industrial participants,
implementing a wide variety of projects, resulting in
$1,427,035.37 of awarded incentives and approximately
3,903,914 kWh of annual electricity savings.
• 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, and teacher materials are available free of
charge as part of the Compact’s commitment to helping to
shape an energy literate and energy efficient society
.
*The Cape Light Compact’s Energy Efficiency Programs
are funded by Cape and Vineyard consumers through the
Energy Conservation line, itemized under the Delivery
Services section of their electric bill.
Note: Due to a reporting error by the Compact’s vendor,
there is no kWh savings, expenditure, participant, and budget
information for residential lighting from January 1, 2019 to
June 30, 2019. Therefore, the residential and total amount
calculations are likely underestimated. This information will
be included in next year’s report.

PURPOSE STATEMENT
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 225
To operate a safe, efficient, and reliable
transportation system for the Islands
of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket
with a commitment to sustainability,
accessibility, our port communities,
and public engagement.
PURPOSE STATEMENT
THE HEART AND SOUL OF THE
STEAMSHIP AUTHORITY ARE ITS EMPLOYEES
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, the City
of New Bedford and the Islands of Nantucket and Martha’s
Vineyard. Each town has a weighted vote with the three
mainland towns having a vote of 10% each and the two
islands having 35% each. The Authority also has a Port
Council with seven members representing each town where
the Authority has a presence. Robert R. Jones represents the
Town of Barnstable on the Authority’s Board of Governors
and is the current Chairman of the Board. Eric Shufelt
represents the town on the Port Council.
Over the past year, the Steamship Authority has been
engaged in the massive task of upgrading and restructuring its
management systems and implementing controls and
procedures to bring efficiencies up to modern day standards.
Several additional skilled management level personnel have
been hired including a Health, Safety, Quality, and
Environmental Manager, a Director of Marine Operations, a
Project Engineer and additional resources for our engineering
department. A new Operations and Communication Center
which works 24/7 has been created and a new
Communications Director has been hired. Many positions
were filled by in-house promotions of key personnel who have
had years of experience and working knowledge of the new
position. In addition, consultants have been hired to teach
and share their expertise in their respective fields to guide us
through the process. Many changes have been made and full
implementation of the upgrades will take a full year or more
to implement.
The large new terminal project currently in progress calls
for a third ship and the renewal and upgrade of the
waterfront infrastructure. In addition, a new terminal
building is also planned and it has taken well over two years
to design and agree upon a suitable design which meets the
general consensus of the public. We are pleased to say at year
end, a final draft of the project calling for a single story
building to house the ticketing and offices, along with a two
story utility building set off to the south side of the parking
lot to house workshops and storage, appears to be the choice
of the community. Final permitting should be reached after
the 1st of the New Year and construction will begin soon
thereafter. The waterside and landside projects will take at
least another two to three years to complete as construction
will be confined to the winter months only..
The annual approved budget of the Steamship Authority
for the year 2020 is $118 million dollars reflecting a $5 million
dollar increase. Funding this increase calls for a new pricing
initiative of prime-time fares. Prime time ticketing is not
unusual in the transportation industry. Passenger tickets prices
will not be effected and the increases will be mostly shared by
increases in automobile and parking fees mostly during the
summer months. On another milestone, eFerry ticketing has
been introduced allowing passengers to purchase tickets
electronically from either an Apple Wallet apt. or Google Pay.
This just another one of the many improvements the Authority
has implemented for faster efficiencies.
Statistical data has been taken from the 2017 Steamship
Authority’s Annual Report, shows that the Town of Barnstable
employed 47 workers in 1918 for a total payroll of $2,707,757.
Traffic statistics taken from the report shows the Hyannis -
Nantucket Route had a total 7,361 trips traveling a total of
220,260 miles, carrying 620,039 passengers, 65,116
automobiles and 52,922 trucks over 20 feet. Totals inclusive
with the Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket routes, the
Steamship Authority carried a total of 3,055,347 passengers a
distance of 353,348 on 23,997 trips. (An interesting equivalent
of 14.2 times around the world at the equator.)

EDUCATIONAL ENRICHMENT GRANTS
This is my ninth report as Trustee and Agent for the Cobb
Trust.
During the 2018-2019 school years, the Cobb Trust
educational enrichment grants exceeded the previous year by
over 30%. Administrative costs are charged to trust principal
preserving all trust income for enrichment programs and
awards.
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 FY 2018 has been
approved and certified by the probate court.
During the 2020 fiscal year I plan to focus on the following
areas:
• Keeping program quality as robust as possible;
• Distributing trust income for traditional awards for each
school or program and making new larger “high impact
awards” as opportunities arise; and
• Increasing public awareness of the Trust’s purpose.
Going forward, I will continue my efforts to make the Cobb
Trust an even bigger 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.

TRUST FUND ADVISORY COMMITTEE
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 $32 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 maintenance of the Korean
War Memorial.
The Korean War Memorial was dedicated in June of 2000 by
Senator Edward Kennedy. The memorial pays 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.
The Kirkman Trust was established in 1953. The original
trust document was the Will of Mary Lewis Kirkman. It
provided that fund income be used for the maintenance and
beautification of Town cemeteries and for support of the
seven libraries of the villages of the Town of Barnstable.
The Trust Fund Advisory Committee makes
recommendations to the Town Manager for his approval.
The following projects were authorized:
Cemeteries:
• Organic fertilization program for all cemeteries;
• Landscape pruning at all Town cemeteries;
• Irrigation systems installation and upgrades at
Mosswood Cemetery;
• Hillside Cemetery expansion; and
• Gravestone preservation.
The Trust Fund Advisory Committee received proposals for
projects at the seven libraries. The following projects were
authorized:
• Youth service programs;
• Books and collections;
• eBooks and digital periodicals;
• Computers and Technology; and
• Databases to enhance the lives of the citizens of
Barnstable.
The Lyndon Paul Lorusso trust account generously funded
five (5) $2,500 scholarships to deserving graduates at
Barnstable High School to further their education for an
annual total of $12,500.
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 be
viewed via a link on the Town’s website.

in increasing technology in all schools, to enhance teaching
and learning from preschool to grade 12.
Whole Child Education Goal:
The Barnstable Public Schools’ district vision is to
educate 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. We are addressing this
through social, emotional, and academic development
(SEAD), and positive behavior interventions and supports
(PBIS).
What is social, emotional, and academic development?
Social, emotional, and academic development is the
integration of social and emotional development with
academic learning in K-12 education. What are the
competency skills of social-emotional development?
• Self-awareness
• Self-management
• Social awareness
• Relationship skills
• Responsible decision making
What are positive behavior interventions and supports?
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a
prevention oriented framework or approach for assisting
school personnel in adopting and organizing evidence-based
behavioral interventions into an integrated continuum that
enhances academic and social behavior outcomes for all
students.
Barnstable Public Schools (BPS) began the 2018-19
school year by welcoming the return of educators and
support staff on August 27, 2018. We were pleased to
welcome 40 new teachers from the Cape and beyond,
who either began or continued their teaching career with
us. We were also excited to see the return of our 5,200
students on Wednesday, August 29.
The 2018-19 school year promised to be a year of
learning for all ages. While our educators and support
staff are dedicated to providing excellent instruction
from preschool to grade 12, our culture of learning
extends to all adults who work in Barnstable Public
Schools. Whether learning about new school safety
protocols, social emotional learning, or academic
content, BPS is committed to the growth of our staff, as
well as our students. While some may think that teachers
have “the summer off,” we want to share that our BPS
educators were very busy during summer. Our educators
participated in professional development, write
curriculum, take graduate level classes, run summer
learning programs for students, and plan for new ways to
engage learners.
A new school year brings new opportunities for our
students to learn in all sorts of ways. At Barnstable High
School (BHS), students experienced a new schedule with
a wider range of course options. Moreover, since we have
doubled our high school senior internship program,
more BHS students experienced career settings as they
interned throughout our community in business, public
safety, and non-profits. We were excited that BHS and
Barnstable Intermediate School (BIS) students had
opportunities to learn in an outdoor Living Lab Wetland
due to the efforts of the BHS Environmental Club. And,
in kindergarten through grade 7, more Barnstable
schools are building Makerspaces, where students can
create, invent, and innovate. Finally, we cannot forget
about the investment the School Committee has made
PURPOSE STATEMENT
VISION: The Barnstable Public Schools

a student centered school culture that

where feedback and input from educators, staff, students and
parents is sought and utilized to inform decision-making on
areas of improvement for the district.

special education, general education interventions, and social,
emotional and behavioral supports and determine areas of
implementation through development of a detailed action plan
for the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school years.
In closing, we are incredibly proud of our BPS vision and
Core Values adopted by the Barnstable School Committee.
The BPS vision and core values are the foundation of our

MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND PROJECTS:
• The Trustees and Friends continued to sponsor successful
fundraising events, such as Book Sales, Christmas Boutique,
bottle and can recycling through the Barnstable Transfer Station,
participation in the annual Village Festival and the Cape Cod
Hydrangea Festival. These funds contribute significant financial
support to the annual operating expenditures of the library.
• We continue to work on the ever increasing maintenance of the
Whelden Library Building. We were able to finish the interior
painting and update bathroom flooring through the auspices
of the Sheriff’s Office inmate program. A baby changing table
was installed in one bathroom courtesy of the Friends of the
Library. Our handicap ramp was repaired, sump pump replaced
and other needful repairs were completed, which are often in
nonpublic areas but are essential for the continued use of this
building.
• The library offered 329 programs with many of them in
collaboration with various Cape entities such as the Mass
Audubon Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary, Cape Cod
Cooperative Extension and with WCAI.

customer service experience for our patrons. Being a small

Library’s existence into the future.
• It was with great sadness that the Trustees bade farewell to
Victoria Allard, who was Whelden’s Director for four years. She
was instrumental in not only getting the exterior and interior
of the library refurbished; she also worked hard in leading the
library processes and procedures into current best practices.
The Board was especially grateful that she stayed as a consultant
during the transition to a new Director, Kelly Depin. While she
will be missed, we wish her the best of luck in her new position
as Director of Centerville Library.

Collaborative Local Media Documentary Takes 1st Place in Statewide Competition
Movers & Shuckers, a short documentary chronicling the oyster farming industry on Cape Cod
wins MassAccess Creator Award
The Cape Cod Community Media Center and Barnstable
Channel 18 created a series of documentary shorts,
“Movers & Shuckers,” that include interviews with local
oyster farmers, the Commercial Fisherman’s Alliance and
the Aquaculture Research Corporation oyster hatchery.
Channel 18’s Assistant Station Manager Paula Hersey
(pictured right with Izzy Caplan of Cape Cod Community
Media) served as a producer, videographer and sound
engineer for the production. The film crew spent an
afternoon out on the commercial oyster flats of Barnstable
Harbor with
Barnstable
Natural
Resource Officer Devon Harrington to interview Barnstable’s commercial farmers
Donovan McElligatt (ARC) and Jack Bacigalupo (Naked
Oyster). The community project was conceived by local business Cape Cod Beer to
educate the public on the importance of the thriving industry of shell fishing
during their first ever Mid Cape Oyster Festival Shuck this past October. “It started
as a seed of an idea – like a tiny oyster – and grew into something that is now
clearly award-winning”, explains Beth Marcus, co-owner of Cape Cod Beer. “We
solicited the help of our friends from public access TV (Cape Cod Community
Media Center and Barnstable Channel 18) to help shine a light on the importance
of the oyster farming community in the Mid-Cape region, and our inaugural oyster
event “Shuck!,” and they responded in an amazing way! Oysters from the Town of
Barnstable don’t get nearly the recognition they deserve, based on both the taste
and the economic impact. We were thrilled to watch this all unfold, and that the
film won an award is just the icing on the cake.” MassAccess created the Mass
Creator Awards to recognize the best that the creative community in the
Commonwealth has to offer.

“A Community Celebration
of Our Community”
3rd Annual
Unity Day a Success!
It takes a village, or in Barnstable –
seven, to make Unity Day a success.
Thank you to everyone who
volunteered or attended this year’s
event. We couldn’t have done it
without you! We showed everyone
that Barnstable is a special, unique
place with strong community bonds.
Below are links to two articles with
some great pictures of the event. We
received great coverage from the Cape
Cod Times (Barnstable police,
community stand together during
Unity Day) and the Barnstable Patriot
(Barnstable Unity Day sees great
turnout) Mark your calendars for the
4th Annual Unity Day on Friday,
August 2, 2019.

Even the dogs were smiling during the
October 31st Ribbon Cutting for the Barnstable Dog Park!
What began as an idea in February 2011 with the creation of a
Committee for Barnstable Dog Parks is now a reality. Town
Manager Mark Ells and his daughter Lucie brought Mawzie with
them to celebrate. The park is available to the public, at no
charge, dawn to dusk unless closed for weather conditions or
maintenance. The park has three off leash areas: the training area,
the small dog area and the mix use area. All areas have a pea stone
covering, water bubblers, waste disposal stations and benches.
Note: during the winter months the water is turned off.
The park is owned and operated by the Town of Barnstable and
is maintained by a group of dedicated volunteers. These stewards
visit the park daily to ensure that it is clean and safe for people and
dogs.
We are grateful for the support of The Stanton Foundation.
Special Thanks to the Friends of Barnstable Dog Parks (Elaine
Grace, Barbara Cappellina, Barbara Chester, Donald Jacobs,
Leanne Jacques, Martina Mehl, Penny Scott, Demetra Kapolis,
John Cappellina, Anne Mayo, and Beth Marcus); the Barnstable

Barnstable Ranked #11 out of 20 by Top Counseling Schools
Happiness is subjective but certain factors can definitely induce more happiness/endorphins than others.
Like living in a small city where you have wide open spaces, beautiful views, easy commute, less pollution,
and a pace that is just right for you to enjoy life. For the more practical minded of us, small cities offer more
opportunity to save and enjoy a higher standard of living because things are not as expensive.
These metrics were examined:
• Poverty Rate – A low poverty rate is a good indicator of a healthy economy and happy residents.
• Population –Towns with a population of below 100,000 were considered.
• Median Household Income – The median household income is a good indication of the standard of
living enjoyed by the residents.
• Median property value – A healthy real estate market and higher percentage of home ownership leads
to financial security, asset creation and happier residents.
• Education – The percentage of bachelor’s degree holders vis a vis the population of a place were
considered.
• Employment and unemployment rate – Having a job and earning well is important to one’s well-being
and happiness.
• Crime and safety –Here the overall crime rate per 100,000 people was considered.
