Sergeant Jason Sturgis
Barnstable Police Department
August 24, 1976 – July 7, 2019
It is with a heavy heart that the Barnstable Police
Department announced the sudden and unexpected
loss of Sergeant Jason Sturgis. Sergeant Sturgis was
a 19 year veteran of the Department and had
previously been assigned to the Community Impact
Unit before returning to the Patrol Division.
Sergeant Sturgis touched many lives at the
Barnstable Police Department and out in his
community. He was greatly respected and will be sorely missed by all that had the
pleasure of knowing him.
James H. Crocker, Jr.
Barnstable Town Council President
July 28, 1956-October 16, 2019
Our hearts were heavy at the unexpected loss of
Town Council President Jim Crocker. Our
thoughts and prayers are with his wife Gail and
daughters Chrissy and Carly; sisters Sharon, Susan,
Linda, Cathleen and Lisa; family; and friends at
this difficult time. We share this quote from
President Crocker from the Barnstable-Hyannis
Patch on October 16, 2019.
"My favorite thing about Barnstable is the lengthy library of stories and memories it has
given me. The smell of the seasons, all the familiar locations, and any local character's
name will bring a momentary smile to my face. It has been a great place to grow up and
raise a family in."
Barnstable Channel 18 created a special video in his honor.

Barnstable Senior Center now Barnstable Adult Community Center with the announcement
of Barnstable’s Age Friendly Designation.

Selectman

The Town of Barnstable’s first woman Selectman
Mary Montagna passed away on April 13, 2020.
The Barnstable Town Council honored Mary on
the occasion of her 90th birthday on July 17, 2014
as part of the Town’s 375th Anniversary
Celebrations at the Old Selectmen’s Building in
West Barnstable. Mary was presented with a
certificate reading: Mary’s pursuit for the office of Selectman began with her first campaign
in 1968 before becoming victoriuous, when the good people of Barnstable, recognizing her
strengths and abilities in 1975, earning her the proud distiction as the first woman elected to
serve on the Board of Selectmen in the Town of Barnstable. With the Greatest Respect and
Gratitude presented this 25th day of July 2014. We extend our deepest sympathy to the
family of Mary Montagna.
Harold Tobey
Remembering Barnstable’s First Black
Police Officer and Former Barnstable
Town Council President
May 25, 1936-May 23, 2020
Former Town Council President Harold Tobey
passed away on Saturday, May 23, 2020. Mr. Tobey
had a distinguished record of public service. He
was the first black police officer in the Barnstable
Police Department having started as a summer
officer in 1964 and began his full-time service in
the spring of 1965. He was elected to Barnstable Town Council in 1989 – the first
Town Council to be elected following the change in our Charter from the Town
Meeting form of government to Councilor/ Manager. He was elected each time the
size of the Town Council changed (18 members, 22 members, 13 members) including
as the first African-American elected to serve as Town Council President. In 2007,
Mr. Tobey worked to create the Zion Union Heritage Museum and served as its first
President. In that capacity, Mr. Tobey and his wife Donna were part of the Town of
Barnstable team that won the distinction of being one of the National Civic League’s
2007 All-America Cities. Mr. Tobey continued to serve the Town of Barnstable after
leaving the Town Council by serving on the Licensing Authority and, at the time of
his death, the Hyannis Water Board. Upon his retirement from the Barnstable Town
Council, a proclamation was read, ending with the words: He is our friend, our
brother, our guide, and protector. Those who know him love him, admire him and hold him
in the highest regard. We extend our deepest sympathy to Donna, their daughters, and the
family of Harold Tobey.

Whatever we do is of, by, and for the people of Barnstable. Our achievements in
2019-2020 reflect the hard work of the Council, the Town Manager and Staff, and
the many committees, boards, and commissions. Our saddest time was the sudden
loss of President James Crocker Jr. who we deeply miss. Perhaps our pressing
challenge remains our response to the COVID-19 crisis. Our greatest achievement
is our willingness to face the future as united citizens of a proud and welcoming
community. Warmest regards,

TOWN OFTown continued work with Mass Fish & Wildlife to finalize
an agreement that would enable the Town to install public
water supply wells on the 250-acre Hyannis Ponds Wildlife

When Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 began on July 1, 2019, we
could not know the numerous changes about to take place in
the coming year including the arrival of a global pandemic
that would change our lives and how we do business forever.
In July, we learned of the sudden and unexpected loss of
Sergeant Jason Sturgis, a 19-year veteran of the Barnstable
Police Department. In October the unexpected passing of
Town Council President James H. Crocker, Jr. was a
devastating loss for our community. We also learned of the
passing of the Town of Barnstable’s first woman Selectman
Mary Montagna and the Barnstable Police Department’s first
black police officer and former Town Council President
Harold Tobey. More information is available in this report’s
In Memoriam section.
Now to the business of the Town of Barnstable. We
closed out FY 2019 with all General Fund and Enterprise
Fund operations coming within their respective budgets.
Total returned appropriations for the General Fund were
approximately $1.8 million against a budget of $169 million.
Actual General Fund revenue exceeded budget estimates by
approximately $3.2 million. The largest contributors to the
surplus in revenue included Motor Vehicles Excises Taxes
which came in $945,000 over budget estimates; interest and
penalties on the late payment of taxes which came in
$420,000 over budget estimates; a one-time payment of
$518,000 from the Cape Cod Municipal Health Group for
Medicare Part D reimbursements; and investment earnings
exceeding budget estimates by $400,000. All enterprise fund
operations met their respective revenue estimates with the
exception of Sandy Neck and the Public, Education, and
Government (PEG) Television Access Channel funds.
However, returned appropriations in both enterprise funds
exceeded the revenue shortfalls resulting in a positive overall
budget variance.
We continued our coordination with Massachusetts Fish
& Wildlife regarding the future potential to site water supply
wells on the 250-acre parcel owned by the Commonwealth
that directly abuts the Hyannis public water supply. The

I met with the Golf Committee to discuss the change in
operation and maintenance at our municipal golf courses.
We discussed how and why this change was requested and
committed to good communications during this transition. I
am working with staff to transition our golf courses in a
manner that reflects the sensitivity of the underlying water
resource while protecting the municipal golf courses located
on top of our drinking water supply. This may be a difficult
transition, operationally and financially, but one that is
needed to protect both assets.
On Tuesday, July 23, 2019 tornado warnings were issued
throughout Cape Cod. Areas of the Town of Barnstable
(especially Hyannisport and Osterville) suffered severe
damage. We want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to
all the crews who have worked so hard to work to clear our
roadways in the storm’s aftermath.

The Hyannis Water System also announced the
construction of a new water filtration building at the Maher
Water Treatment Plant. The $12 million upgrade to the
water system was recommended in the 2016 final conceptual
design report and confirmed in the 2017 pilot test report. In
addition to meeting new stricter federal and state regulations
for the emerging contaminants PFAS and 1,4-Dioxane, the
project will remove manganese and iron. After much study
the Hyannis Water Board recommended the construction of
a new water filtration building near the Maher treatment

plant. The Hyannis Water Board was created to provide
citizen input and oversight for the Water Supply Division of
the Department of Public Works. Mr. Stephen O’Neil,
Chair of the Hyannis Water Board, said “Our water system
is over 100 years old and has serious capital needs we have
been diligently addressing. The construction of this state of
the art filtration plant will be a pro-active investment in
the future of the Hyannis Water System.”
Longtime Town Attorney Ruth Weil announced her
intention to retire in early January of 2020. Her storied
history with the Town of Barnstable began in July of 1988
when she was hired to serve as Assistant Town Attorney to
Town Attorney Robert Smith. Mr. Smith was known as the
Dean of Massachusetts Municipal Law. Ruth served in that
capacity until she became the Growth Management
Director in September of 2005. She will have served as the
Town Attorney from November 2, 2007 up until her
retirement on January 3, 2020. Ruth was able to assist with
the hiring of her successor. We are grateful for Ruth’s
wisdom and guidance during her service to the Town of
Barnstable.
In September 2019, the Town welcomed Karen L.

(TFAC) Chair Bo Murdoch and TFAC Members Fran
Parks, Jayne Scanlon, and Treasurer / Collector Debra
Blanchette in distributing $100,000 of the Kirkman Trust
Fund to the Town of Barnstable’s seven village libraries.
The meeting was held at the Osterville Village Library
(OVL). OVL Executive Director Cyndy Cotton gave
attendees a tour of the library prior to start of the meeting.
Mr. Murdoch and I both spoke to the changing dynamic of
library services. Each library was afforded the opportunity
to share highlights from their library.
We celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the opening of
the Hyannis Youth & Community Center in September
2019.
I was joined by Superintendent Meg Mayo-Brown,
Human Resources Director Bill Cole, and Finance Director
Mark Milne to present a workshop on the Town's
consolidated finance and personnel operations at the New
England States Government Finance Officers Association
(NESGFOA) 72nd Annual Fall Conference in Stowe, VT.
The workshop covered how this initiative was implemented,
how it operates today, the benefits and challenges of
operating these functions, and how communities can
identify opportunities to implement change in delivering
services. The NESGFOA is the only regional finance
officers association in the country whose mission is to
promote and encourage a closer relationship among those
engaged in finance in the municipal, state and federal
service in order to facilitate discussion, analysis and
solutions to problems communities face.
Barnstable Public Schools was pleased to announce that
we were awarded $350,000 in Mass Skills Capital Grant
funding to launch an Environmental Science Career
Pathway program - complete with the design and construc-
tion of an Environmental Science Lab at Barnstable High
School. The Town of Barnstable also allocated $1 million
to create the classroom and instructional space. The new
lab will include the necessary industry-grade equipment, giv-
ing students the ability to conduct sampling techniques and
analysis related to municipal waste and drinking water treat-
ment - opening up a potential career path both on-Cape, and
off. Approximately 70 students representing grades 9 and 10,
as well as some upper classmen that will benefit from this
career pathway through graduation, had enrolled in the new
program for the fall 2019.
In September, I attended a Municipal Working Group
Meeting at the State House. This is a working group with Lt.
Governor Karyn Polito which includes mayors and city/town
managers from around the Commonwealth to discuss how
our state government can better serve city and town needs.
We discussed the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness
Program, Community Compact Connector Portal, and the
Housing Choice Program. During these meetings we have an
open dialogue on the agenda items and give direct input into
helping our state government provide improved support to
communities in Massachusetts.
Also in September, we received notice from the
Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA)
Secretary Kathleen Theoharides that the Town of Barnstable
has been designated by the Commonwealth as a Municipal
Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) Community for its
completion of the Community Resiliency Building planning
process. This MVP Community designation makes
Barnstable eligible to apply for MVP Action Grants as
administered by EEA and may receive increased standing in
future state funding opportunities. We also received notice
from the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust and the State
Treasurer that Barnstable’s “Maher Treatment Facility
Upgrade” project had been awarded a 6.43% or $670,148
principle subsidy. We greatly appreciate this support and
thank the Commonwealth for providing continued assistance
in our efforts to provide a high quality drinking water to our
residents.
In October, Barnstable Town Hall hosted the STEEP

Cod and the other in the Faroe Islands. Barnstable County,
Massachusetts, is beloved for its sweeping coastline, quaint
villages, and welcoming community ambiance. Barnstable
County is STEEP’s primary site for community engagement
activities. STEEP partner Silent Spring has conducted
community-engaged research and activities focused on water
quality and public health on Cape Cod for more than 20
years. Topics discussed included PFAS research, preliminary

findings relative to a private well study, ongoing PFAS
research in the Cape Cod region and PFAS health effects
and strategies for prevention.
The Town of Barnstable Department of Public Works has
provided the Town Council with the draft Comprehensive
Wastewater Management Plan (CWMP). This draft CWMP
will guide traditional and nontraditional efforts in Barnstable
for the next 30 years, with the primary goals of reducing
nutrient enrichment of coastal estuaries and fresh water
ponds as well as the protection of public water supplies.
Additional goals include supporting smart growth and
economic development coupled with providing solutions in
areas where it has traditionally been difficult to site on-site
systems such as areas with high groundwater and poor soils.
The draft CWMP relies on both traditional methods of
addressing wastewater, in the form of centralized collection
and treatment, but also invests heavily in alternative
technologies in the short term to potentially minimize the
need for centralized sewering in later phases of the plan. The
Town has been working diligently since 2015 to develop a
plan that meets the needs of the community as well as the
requirements of the Cape Commission’s “208 Plan” that was
released in 2017. The “208 Plan” outlines the region’s plan to
meet the requirements of the Federal Clean Water Act. We
are pleased to report the Town of Barnstable Department of
Public Works is prepared to submit the draft Comprehensive
Wastewater Management Plan (CWMP) for state and county
review following an affirmative vote of the Town Council on
Resolve 2020-047.
In October, over 400 volunteers came out to help 16
residents in need during this year’s Housing Assistance
Corporation’s (HAC) Big Fix in Barnstable. The Big Fix is
an annual event that supports impactful work of HAC in
three ways: raising much needed funds to enrich and
enhance their 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. Barnstable was the site of the first
Big Fix event and we were happy to celebrate the 10th
Annual event helping some of our residents in the villages of
Centerville and Hyannis.
I met with Vineyard Wind to discuss the schedule for
their Phase I project and the addition of a Phase III project
to our Community Host Agreement. Vineyard Wind
anticipates commencing Phase I construction in the fall of
2020. Their engineer and construction supervisor continue
meetings with our staff. Vineyard Wind requested an
opportunity to provide Town Council an update regarding
Phase I in the spring of 2020. Vineyard Wind also provided
draft language for modifications to the Community Host
Agreement to include a Phase III. Proposed modifications
have been taken under review.
In order to address the need to better inventory and
manage the Town’s expanding variety of physical assets
needed to support the various Town Departments, the
Property and Asset Management functions separated from
the Procurement function and migrated to the Town
Manager’s direct supervision and control. The Town has
grown considerably in the past two decades in regards to
land under municipal control and the assets needed to
provide the wide variety of services the public expects.
Elevating these management efforts, which include the Risk
Management and Loss Control functions to the Town
Manager’s Office established a direct focus on addressing
these concerns. The primary role of the Director of Property
and Asset Management, and asset management staff, is to
more accurately list, evaluate, manage and insure the assets
of all the departments including the airport, school, DPW
and the other critical areas of the Town. In direct response
to concerns about the proper management of the greatly
expanded inventory of real property (land and real estate)
this change brought the focus higher into the organization,
demonstrating the commitment by the Town Manager to
this need. As of July 1, 2019, the operation transferred over
and embarked on improving the management of the
expanded responsibilities as set by the Town’s Charter.
In response to our continued need to improve
communications and in coordination with my senior staff, I
moved forward with the internal reorganization of my
existing work force to create a Director of Communications
position and supporting staff under the direct oversight of
the Town Manager’s Office. The primary role of this
position includes being responsible for managing and
directing our organizations internal and external
communications efforts. This position in coordination with
the Town Manager will supervise public relations, create
communication strategies, and may serve as a key media
contact for the organization when appropriate. In January
2020, Lynne Poyant was hired as the Town of Barnstable’s
Director of Communications.

The Town of Barnstable commenced a Town Wide
Reappraisal Project (contracted services with Vision
Government Solutions). The first phase of the project
consisted of: 1) the inspection of all real property that have
not been inspected within the last ten years (the Bureau of
Local Assessment of the Department of Revenue requires all
communities to perform periodic inspections of all real
property within a TEN year cycle); and 2) a full field review
of residential sales during calendar 2019 to be utilized in the
FY2021 assessments (the Bureau of Local Assessment of the
Department of Revenue requires all communities to perform
a full reappraisal of all property every five years).
Cape Cod’s Future Relies on an Accurate Census
Count. I along with Jack Yunits, Barnstable County
Administrator, and Kristy Senatori, Cape Cod Commission
Executive Director, serve as co-chairs of the Cape Cod
Complete Count Committee. The 2020 United States
Census Day is approaching. Communities across the nation
are coordinating in order to ensure an accurate, complete
count of our population. With a diversifying and growing
population, it is a daunting yet critically important task.
The necessity of a complete and accurate count cannot be
overstated. Data collected through the census is used to
determine the distribution of more than $675 billion in
federal funds every year to state and local governments.
Cape Cod communities depend on these federal resources –
this is funding needed to support our schools, build our
roads and other critical infrastructure, support our health
care systems, administer housing programs, inform planning
decisions, and design and implement our public safety and
emergency preparedness programs.
When Brian Florence, Barnstable Building
Commissioner, commenced employment in 2017 there were
over 90 properties that were abandoned or in various states
of disrepair identified in Barnstable. Commissioner
Florence and I met to discuss a strategic approach to enforce
our codes and to abate violations at those properties (MGL
143 Section 6 through 12). We
discussed the role of code officials and
how it was necessary to triage those
properties to address life safety
concerns first and foremost and after
that, turn our attention to lesser code
violations. Commissioner Florence
outlined a plan to categorize the
properties in terms of Critical
Concern, Significant Concern and
Concern and our plan to address them
beginning with critical concern
properties. I participated in a site tour
of the five (5) worst properties
involving building, legal, and fire. Since that meeting we
have continued to review and address the identified
properties and have worked to abate the most hazardous
conditions. We have conducted multiple enforcement
activities and have had several of the most dangerous
structures in Town demolished as a result of our actions.
Over the last 29 months the Building Division has worked in
cooperation with Fire Officials from our various Fire Districts
and utilized our collective institutional knowledge to identify
structures that were unsafe and a danger to the public.
During that time we conducted field inspections and made
observations of dozens of properties that were ultimately
posted as unsafe structures in accordance with Massachusetts
General Law and the State Building Code. Once our
inspectors started an enforcement action as required by law
we worked closely and cooperatively with the property
owners to issue building permits and render assistance as
needed to help them abate the hazards on their properties.
To date we permitted and concluded the inspection processes
that oversaw the demolition of 22 principle structures that
were extremely dangerous and posed a hazard to the public.
The information provided is a summary and not a
timeline. On February 3, 2020 we posted our first Board of
Health update to the Town of Barnstable’s website which
stated “The purpose of this communication is to share with
you that MA DPH has confirmed Massachusetts’ first case of
2019 novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV), identified in Boston,
and to provide you with the most up-to-date guidance
regarding patient screening and health department
notification procedures.” I commenced discussions with our
Chief of Police and Health Director regarding this alert and
pending additional information discussed with the Chief of
Police his role as our Emergency Response Manager. We
began to meet and communicate daily on the progression of
this situation.
On March 4, 2020, we received communication from the
Center for Disease Control (CDC) issuing an updated Travel
Health Alert for all U.S. residents effective immediately. The
CDC was instructing travelers returning from countries with

a Level 3 Alert- China, South Korea, Iran and Italy - to stay
home and monitor their health for 14 days after returning the
U.S. It also instructed travelers from countries with a Level 2
Alert – Japan – to monitor their health and limit interactions
with others for 14 days after they return to the U.S.
On March 10, 2020, Governor Charlie Baker declared a
State of Emergency to support the Commonwealth’s response
to coronavirus.
On March 13, 2020, I issued a Town Manager Directive
to all employees on precautionary measures relevant to the
COVID-19 virus. Over the following three weeks a multitude
of Directives and Protocols had been promulgated as we
continually adapted our response to this crisis.
We began moving personnel to remote work on March
16th; and by June 30, 2020 over 200 town employees were
effectively working remotely.
We launched www.BarnstableHealth.com on March
16th. The website continues to be updated with articles and
resources and links to vetted organizations.
On March 17th we began daily situation meetings with
all Departments which were quickly transitioned to ZOOM;
these meetings occur every morning and are continuing
throughout this crisis.
Our Emergency Manager, Chief Sonnabend, has been
our liaison to the Barnstable County Emergency Operations
Center (EOC) and Massachusetts Emergency Management
Agency (MEMA); this will also continue for the foreseeable
future. We are into our “new normal” of providing essential
services, working remotely where possible, and best
positioning our staff to continue these operations for the
foreseeable future with serious consideration for succession
planning, personnel rotation and workforce reallocation to
respond to the greatest need of the moment. Our collective
bargaining units have worked well with management to date;
unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures and our
bargaining units have been paramount to our response efforts
by supporting every challenge to date.
We closed the majority of Town Facilities while
successfully keeping Town Hall and 200 Main Street open for
business (by appointment only). We have gone remote and
contactless where possible. We have utilized all available
methods to communicate with our citizens, from Channel 18
to CodeRED (emergency notification system), from email to
social media, we pushed out information as we received it.
We froze all FY 2020 hiring and discretionary spending. We
proposed a reduction in our FY21 CIP from $39M to $12.2M.
We revised all our revenue projects and modified the
proposed FY 2021 and planning for the FY 2022 Operations
Budgets accordingly.
The proposed modifications were a direct result of the
ongoing emergency response to the COVID-19 situation
and the fiscal impacts on projected revenues that are
anticipated to result from this situation. The pandemic that
grips our nation and the world will have profound and long
lasting effects on municipal services.
Governor Baker issued an Order requiring face
coverings be worn in public places where social distancing is
not possible. Effective Wednesday, May 6, 2020, any person
who is in a place open to the public, whether indoor or
outdoor, and is unable to maintain a distance of
approximately six feet from every other person shall cover
their mouth and nose with a mask or face covering. This
requirement applies to all workers and customers of
businesses and other organizations open to the public that
are permitted to operate as essential businesses. Non-
essential businesses must remain closed as per the
Governor’s Order through May 18, 2020. Another recent
change relative to non-essential business is for municipal
golf courses are allowed to reopen on May 8, 2020 if they
can meet identified standards, https://www.mass.gov/info-
details/covid-19-essential-services-faqs#other-. Barnstable
reopened our golf courses in compliance with state
guidelines and with a phased approach.
Town staff continued to provide programs and service
while managing this public health and economic situation.
We have completed our proposed FY 2021 Operating
Budget, we opened our marinas on May 1, we have
successfully moved the sales of some licenses and permits
that were previously done manually and in person to online
and continue that transition to contactless service in other
areas of service, we opened Sandy Neck beach and to Off-
Road Vehicle (ORV) and beaches in general this month, we
worked with our business community to assist in their
ability to reopen and have created an internal Barnstable
Economic Recovery Plan, and our staff participated in and
on numerous committees related to recovery.

TOWN MANAGER REPORT
20 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
On May 18, 2020, the Baker-Polito Administration
announced a four-phase approach to reopening the
Massachusetts economy amidst the COVID-19 pandemic,
and published Mandatory Workplace Safety Standards that
will apply across all sectors and industries once reopening
begins. Businesses and activities that provided “COVID-19
Essential Services,” per Governor Baker’s March 23rd order,
will continue to operate. Certain businesses and activities
with a lower risk of COVID-19 transmission will open in
earlier phases. Decisions and timing will be influenced by
public health metrics for when the first phase of reopening
begins, as well as when it is safe to move into concurrent
phases.
Additionally, the Department of Public Health (DPH)
and the COVID-19 Command Center, in consultation with
the Reopening Advisory Board and based on feedback from
industry, labor, and community coalitions, developed
Mandatory Workplace Safety Standards to reduce the risk of
COVID-19 transmission as employees and customers begin
to return to workplaces during the first phase of reopening.
These Mandatory Workplace Safety Standards are
applicable to all sectors and industries that will be open in
Phase one, and create new workplace requirements for
social distancing, hygiene, staffing and operations, and
cleaning. These standards were released to give workplaces
time to plan and prepare for reopening.
Congratulations to the Barnstable High School
graduating Class of 2020 as they participated in Senior
SWAG Day. It was a parade of our seniors in their vehicles
and in compliance with our Governor’s Orders at BHS to
receive their cap, gown and other items. Over 100
Barnstable Public Schools staff along with family and
friends participated. This has been a difficult year for our
graduating seniors as many activities have been canceled
due to the pandemic. Graduation plans, in compliance
with the Governor’s orders are underway.
In our continuing efforts to provide “contactless
service”, the Town of Barnstable offered online purchases of
transfer station stickers and beach parking permits.
Warm sand, ocean breezes and sunshine in the forecast
for the Holiday weekend - heading to the beach is a rite of
passage into the season and vital to the quality of our life
here in the Town of Barnstable. During COVID-19,
Barnstable's beaches have remained open, to help residents
cope with the myriad challenges we have faced these last
few months. We understand that many of our residents
have questions regarding Parking Permits (AKA Beach
Stickers), facilities and new guidelines. Barnstable
Recreation is following State guidelines to keep all of us
safe. Barnstable has several large public beaches which will
not require a parking permit or fee during the Memorial
Day weekend: Veterans, Kalmus, Sea Street - Keyes, and
Craigville.
Town of Barnstable staff are working to help our
businesses reopen successfully, recover from this crisis, and
move towards a strong and prosperous future. We are
listening to and working with our businesses, residents, the
Economic Development Task Force (a Town Council
presidential subcommittee), the Hyannis Main Street
Business Improvement District, and other community
partners on developing an Economic Recovery Plan, with an
initial focus on promoting the safe and successful reopening
of businesses when allowed by the Governor. We are looking
at ways the Town can support our local businesses, while
promoting public health and safety.
The Town of Barnstable looked forward to safely
welcoming residents and visitors to Hyannis Main Street in
the summer. To provide room for social distancing, and to
support the safe and successful reopening of the many small
shops and restaurants on Main Street, the Town of Barnstable
made one of the two traffic lanes on the street available to
pedestrians and outdoor business use. The southern lane and
parking spaces remained available for vehicle travel and
parking. All intersections remained open for traffic in all
directions. These modifications to the public street were the
centerpiece of efforts by the Town of Barnstable and the
Hyannis Main Street Business Improvement District aimed at
ensuring a successful economic recovery and transition to a
safe and prosperous “new normal” in Hyannis. The new
temporary outdoor business space will be accompanied by
renewed efforts to enhance lighting and bring public art to
the street, as well resumption of customary services including
public restrooms and Community Service Officers.
The following are comments by Mark Milne, Finance
Director, and I summarizing our approach to the fiscal
management of FY 2020 and proposed FY 2021 during this
emergency situation.
a. When confronted with the pandemic, the Town took
immediate action to control spending. Following the State of
Emergency declared in our Commonwealth we implemented
a hiring freeze, began deferring discretionary expenses,
reduced the FY21 original operating budget, and reduced
capital spending. These were all necessary steps taken in
order to generate reserves, and to protect the Town from
committing to a potentially unsustainable spending plan.
b. As a result of these actions and the historical
comprehensive financial leadership directed by the Town
Council and implemented by the Town Manager, we have
established strong reserve fund levels that allow for budgetary
options going forward under these conditions.
c. Maintaining the quality of life in our community and
providing sound fiscal management is a delicate balance.
The FY 2021 proposed operating budget attempts to minimize
program and service level reductions while not becoming
overly dependent upon the use of reserves to provide
municipal programs and services.
TOWN MANAGER REPORT
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 21
d. The proposed budget for FY21 is structurally balanced
as presented. $2.9 million of reserves are used to balance the
budget and we are projecting to generate $3 million in
reserves at the close of FY20; in part due to the steps taken to
reduce spending this year and next.
e. Our most vulnerable area in the proposed budget is the
amount of local aid the town will receive from the state.
Local receipt estimates have already been reduced by $2.9
million (15%) from the projected FY20 levels, and new
growth in property taxes has been reduced by 25%. On a
positive note, only 8% of the General Fund budget is
provided in the form of local aid from the state. Upon the
final passage of the State’s FY21 budget, the potential
negative impact to Barnstable in local aid reduction is
comparably less than most communities. By implementing
the budgetary controls in FY 2020 described above and
maintaining appropriate reserve levels the town has options
and is prepared to respond to the current fiscal situation.
f. We still don’t understand the full extent of the
financial impact of this pandemic and we continue to
proceed with caution. Without questions, our community
and its municipal government will need to adjust to the fiscal
downturn and future economic conditions. The Town of
Barnstable is well positioned to manage this economic
situation. The Town’s reserves have been created for
unforeseeable economic conditions. Our fiscal policies and
municipal budgeting procedures provide the Town with
financial options. The prudent management of use of
reserves will allow for the continuation of high priority
services and provide the necessary time to develop and
evaluate a well-designed budget with tactical reductions, if
and where needed.
In conjunction with the Governor’s directives for Phase
II, the Town of Barnstable has released guidelines for
expansion of outdoor space for dining facilities and retail
space. These guidelines will also complement the plans to
close one lane of traffic on Main Street. The guidelines
allow for a streamlined approach to a multi-departmental
approval. Remote meeting reviews will be held with many of
the Town’s departments and the applicants.
The Commissioner of Education’s initial fall reopening
guidance can be found here: Initial Fall School Reopening
Guidance. The Governor has announced the plan to reopen
schools in the fall. The guidance promotes bringing back as
many students as possible, as safely as possible, to in-person
learning. Some highlights include:
a. physical distancing in school ranges from 3 to 6 feet
b. children in grade 2 and above, and all adults, are
required to wear masks
c. secondary schools are urged to create cohorts of
students to reduce contact
d. high-needs students should be prioritized for full-time
in-person learning when feasible
e. schools should use alternative space (cafeteria, gym) to
reduce class sizes
f. reopening plans must include in-person, hybrid, and
remote
g. districts and schools will be required to submit their
comprehensive fall reopening plans to DESE in August
h. cafeterias may not be used, meals are to be in
classrooms (grab and go model)
The document also asks for creation of a reopening task
force. Barnstable has already created and commenced
subcommittees that are addressing reopening. The
Superintendent is sending the guidance to the steering
committee and subcommittees so that it can be incorporated
into our School Department’s current planning. The
Superintendent plans to provide an update at the July 15th
School Committee meeting and during Town Manager
Communications at the July 16th Town Council meeting.
As a reminder the Town of Barnstable offers online
purchases of dog licenses, shellfish licenses, mooring permits,
small vessel storage decals, transfer station stickers and beach
parking permits. Online permit sales may need to be mailed
so please allow up to two weeks for processing and mailing.
We will keep you advised as we continue our efforts to offer
online services.
In a year unlike any other, we continue to work to keep
our residents, employees, and visitors safe, informed, and
engaged.

Mark S. Ells

POLICING DURING COVID
March of 2020 saw major life change for all of us. There was
no aspect of our lives that didn’t feel the impact of COVID-19.
We all had to adapt to working remotely, running Zoom
meetings, wearing a mask everywhere, travel restrictions, and
quarantine protocols.
Although many of us feel that our lives were on hold, the
men and women of the Barnstable Police Department
continued to provide effective emergency and routine services
throughout the pandemic. Our 911 call center remained
staffed, our records clerks and administrative staff fulfilled
normal records and licensing requests, and our officers kept
responding to your calls for service without missing a beat.
COVID may have derailed many things, but it did not
prevent our service to the community. I would like to thank
the officers and staff of the Barnstable Police Department for
their commitment and professionalism during this
unprecedented time. You are all a credit to our community and
our profession.

PURPOSE STATEMENT
To deliver reliable and innovative
services that attract and retain a
knowledgeable labor pool, foster
professional development, promote a
positive work environment, and help our
employees attain their goals through
education, training, and awareness.
COVID RESPONSE:
While the priority of the Human Resources Division has
always been our employees, since the onset of the COVID-
19 heroic efforts has been displayed in guiding leadership on
the ever constant evolvement on policy and providing
essential supports to the unprecedented needs of our staff.
Beginning in March of 2020 and ongoing, Human Resources
has immersed themselves in the rapid development and
adoption of legislation beginning with, the Families First
Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), providing first of its
kind paid leave provisions for employees soon to be impacted
by the coronavirus. This in turn required us to develop our
own policy and be available to guide our staff on their rights
and benefits. To insure continuity of operations, we then
swiftly developed the first ever Remote Work policy. We
also became a primary and essential resource for school
leadership and staff to manage questions surrounding remote
work assignments, requests for reasonable accommodations,
and leave options, if one needed to protect them or a loved
one. The aforementioned is a small fraction of all of our
accomplishments, as there are many not noted. In the end,
it was never about the tasks, it was about being there and
available for our employees for whatever they needed from
the Human Resources Division.
RECRUITMENT:
The Town of Barnstable continued its commitment to
attracting, maintaining and retaining a diverse,
knowledgeable and effective workforce. In FY 2020 Human
Resources assisted Municipal and School Departments in
filling 386 full-time and part-time positions. Human
Resources received 3,750 applications for employment
through our on-line applicant tracking systems. Human
Resources staff assisted in the interview and selection process
for several high-level positions including the Town Attorney
and Community Services Director
LABOR/EMPLOYEE RELATIONS:
Human Resources Staff were involved in all aspects of
labor/employee relations in Fiscal Year 2020.
In December, 93 employees were recognized for their
years of service with the Town. Also 12 employees who
retired during the year received special recognition.
WORKERS COMPENSATION:
In Fiscal Year 2020, Human Resources received and
processed 116 reports of work-related injuries for all
departments including the School Department, of which 13
resulted in lost time.
UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS:
During FY 2020 the Division processed and paid
unemployment claims which cost the Town $518,029. This
amount represents a $228,252 (78%) increase over FY
2019.
I would like to thank the members of the Human
Resources Team: Susan Atkins, Tammy Cunningham,
Deborah Gilbert, Joanna Gillis, Erin Hurd, Laura Scroggins,
and Angela Whelan for all of their hard work.
Respectfully submitted,
William E. Cole
Director

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

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.
The goal of the Treasurer/Collector is to maintain a

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 2020
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 25, 2020 the Town issued a $10,855,000
GOB borrowing with a competitive interest rate of

• Worked with the Cape Cod Municipal Health Group, as a
Steering Committee member and Investment Committee
Chair to implement cost savings programs and to increase
the group’s fund balance reserves which contributed to a
zero percent rate premium increase for the next fiscal year
– a savings to both the Town and employees.

the fiscal year prior to consolidating the Treasury and
Collector offices.

The Community Services Department has dedicated
employees who are passionate about their work and who
work hard to maintain excellence in service delivery
while expanding upon the type and number of programs –
truly the quality of life activities - offered to residents of
and visitors to the Town of Barnstable. This has never
been more evident than during the ongoing public health
emergency, with staff across our divisions having to
quickly find new ways to provide contactless service
delivery while our facilities were closed per state
guidelines. I commend our exceptional team for their
commitment to serving our community by stepping up
and overcoming significant challenges to ensure that our
residents and visitors could continue to stay active,
engaged and healthy while adhering to COVID-19
protocols in order to maintain a safe environment for all
participants.

Recreation, HYCC, Department of Public Works, and
Hyannis Fire Department personnel, as well as members
of our Town Council, step up to help lighten the load of
our Council on Aging Division’s monthly Brown Bag food
distribution program. Recreation program participants and
students from Barnstable Public Schools showed their support
and care for older residents through multiple thoughtful and
touching intergenerational projects. We are also extraordinarily
grateful to Barnstable Public Schools and the Planning and
Development Department for their support of the Grab & Go
program that was established at the onset of the crisis to provide
a nutritious breakfast and lunch for our older residents. All of
these actions perfectly illustrate that we are all working together
as one community and we will get through this crisis together
and come out stronger, kinder, and better on the other end.
We offer our sincere thanks to all of the Town of
Barnstable’s Departments and Divisions, along with the
numerous boards, commissions and committees who provide
valuable and vital support and who help us accomplish our jobs
on a daily basis. We could not do our jobs without them.

The Council on Aging Division supports older adults in
our community by providing programs and services designed to
optimize their quality of life, reduce social isolation and help
them maintain their independence so they may successfully
age-in-place in Barnstable. Our vision at the Barnstable Adult
Community Center (BACC) is to provide a safe, inclusive
and welcoming environment, where all participants are
treated with dignity and respect, and to offer opportunities
that enrich and empower our older population. Our programs
and services are open to all older adults regardless of race,
ethnicity, religion, ability, gender, gender identity, or sexual
orientation. By offering a broad spectrum of programs and
services, ranging from support and advocacy services, caregiver
support, volunteer opportunities and social, educational and
wellness activities, we are helping to ensure that older people
in our community remain physically, mentally and civically
engaged. Each week we offer a diverse array of activities,
including exercise classes, computer classes, health seminars,
caregiver support groups, movies, art workshops, musical
entertainment, social clubs and discussion groups, congregate
lunch, intergenerational activities and blood pressure clinics.

COUNCIL ON AGING
110 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
Major Accomplishments FY2020:
* The Golf Division completed its second year of
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. Year
one saw a 75-80% reduction in the use of traditional
and synthetic products in favor of organic, biological,
and carbon-based alternatives. This year we didn’t
accomplish our goals, primarily due to the current public
health emergency which resulted in course closures and
subsequent reduction in revenues. While not achieving
our goals, we maintained our level of reductions to year
one.
* Successfully reopened both golf facilities to the public
in early May after being closed for seven (7) weeks.
All of the required safety protocols and procedures set
forth by the state and CDC were incorporated into daily
operations to ensure public and workplace safety.
*Golf quickly became one of the few safe, acceptable
outdoor activities for the community to engage in during
the public health emergency. Residents and guests alike
flocked to the golf courses to find and experience healthy
recreation, safe social interaction, friendly competition
and the mental health benefits the game of golf provides.
Fresh air fun with friends equals stress relief and an
improved quality of life for participants.
*The Golf Division maintenance staff worked cooperatively
with the Department of Public Works’ Structures and
Grounds Division staff to complete sand bunker edging,
reshaping and sand replenishment of over 100 bunkers
at both golf courses. This project would not have been
possible without the interdepartmental assistance we
received.
Status on Performance:
The Golf Division operates as an enterprise fund. Fiscal
year FY2020 was the weakest performance, financially, in
Barnstable Golf’s history. Very little activity was recorded
in the second half of the fiscal year due to winter weather
coupled with both facilities being closed for seven (7)
weeks in the spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We
re-opened for business in early May at only 25% capacity.
Many Annual Pass Holders held off on purchasing a new
pass due to the uncertainty of golf course accessibility. Once
it became public knowledge that golf courses would be
open, and provided the community with a safe outlet for
recreation, social interaction, and plenty of fresh air,
activity exploded. Unfortunately, this occurred too late to
save the FY2020 year. I hope to be following up this report
next year with news that we achieved significant positive
improvement in our financial situation.
The Golf Division generated $2,873,421 in revenue
through fees charged in FY2020, falling short of the
$3,503,437 projection resulting in a $630,016 deficit for the
PROTECTING AND ENHANCING
SUSTAINABLE OPEN SPACE
THROUGH GOLF
Barnstable Golf is dedicated to
providing and maintaining exceptional,
affordable, public golf facilities for
residents and guests of all ages. We are
committed to enhancing and preserving
the golf courses for the future through
improvement programs for the courses,
the buildings, and the equipment. Golf
Course Management strives to provide
recreational golfing opportunities that
enrich the quality of life for residents,
while being fiscally responsible to the
taxpayers of the Town of Barnstable.

year. The deficit was covered by a combination of expense
reductions and use of Golf Enterprise reserve fund monies.
There were 61,626 rounds of golf played on the two (2)
courses in FY2020, down 11.34% from the previous year.
Annual Pass Holder play accounted for 65% of the rounds
played while guests played 35%. Pass Holder numbers
dropped 11.25% from 1,193 in FY2019 to 1,061 in FY2020.
Despite an 18% reduction in revenues from fees charged,
the Golf Division covered all of its operational expenses,
debt service obligations, and capital improvements through
cost cutting measures and the use of Golf Enterprise reserve
funds. One of the main factors affecting revenues is the
weather, which is unpredictable and out of our control. The
recent public health emergency initially had a very
negative affect on business, but since has become a boon
for golf facilities nationwide. We hope the trend continues.
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.
Major Projects or Initiatives:
* A CIP request was submitted for the replacement
and acquisition of several pieces of turf maintenance
equipment for the Olde Barnstable Fairgrounds Golf
Course operation. The project calls for the replacement
of spraying equipment, green, fairway and rough mowers,
and bunker rake. The current equipment is between 10
-15 years old and beyond its useful life. We also look to
acquire greens rollers, a large area seeder, power sweeper,
utility vehicle, and topdressing brush.
*Continue with our Green initiative and the transition to
an environmentally sustainable land management plan.
We were able to maintain the progress made in year
one, but look forward to getting back on track with this
important long-term initiative. New turf maintenance
equipment and needed resources will have a big impact
on our success.
*A new food and beverage service has been contracted with
for the operation of the restaurant and function room
facilities at Hyannis Golf Course. The Massachusetts
Military Support Foundation, Inc. hopes to be up and
running by late April, 2021. We look forward to a long-
term, mutually beneficial relationship with our new lessee.
* Repairs planned for the Hyannis Golf Course
maintenance building roof. The metal roof will be
patched, coated and sealed. Project includes new trim and
gutters.
*One of two (2) remote wells at Olde Barnstable
Fairgrounds Golf Course, responsible for supplying
irrigation water to the course, has failed. Replacement of
all major components is planned.

The Town of Barnstable is part of the largest
municipal Veterans District by general population served
in the Commonwealth. The Barnstable District
Department of Veterans Services has continued to
experience growth in the volume of claims and assistance
to our Town’s veterans and dependents. Vietnam veterans
continue to comprise the largest group of veterans in our
town. Their needs often increase as they enter the later
stages of life with concomitant medical and disability
issues. We also continue to serve the benefit needs of our
World War II, Korean, Gulf War, Operation Iraqi
Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation
New Dawn and Peacetime veterans.
Our primary service to the Town of Barnstable is to
provide financial assistance under M.G.L. Chapter 115 to
honorably discharged, low-income veterans and their
dependents who are residents of the Town of Barnstable
and meet eligibility requirements. In FY2020, the Town of
Barnstable, through our department, provided more than
$284,619.58 in cash benefits to resident veterans and
dependents in financial crisis. This represents more than a
thirty-two percent increase. The Commonwealth
reimburses the Town seventy-five percent of these
expenditures.
We assisted veterans and their dependents in
obtaining federal benefits under the broad umbrella of the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These services
included filing for service-connected disabilities, need
based VA pensions, medical benefits, burial, and military
records requests. During 2020, this office saw a substantial
increase in VA claims and assisted in obtaining
$21,435,295.32 in tax free cash payments for service-
connected disabilities and need based pensions for Town
of Barnstable veterans and their dependents. This has

PURPOSE STATEMENT
been nearly a two-fold increase over the last three years.
Although our staff are not VA employees, our department
files more VA claims than any other veterans service
organization on Cape Cod. These alternative sources of
income greatly reduce the need and dependence on the
Town’s MGL Chapter 115 benefits noted above. This
largely tax-free benefit is brought into our local town
economy for our veterans and dependent recipients at no
cost to the town and greatly reduces the need for the
Town Chapter 115 benefits mentioned above.
We are also happy to report that we have established
our first Veterans‘ District wide website where our veterans
and dependents can complete an intake form for our
services and apply for many VA benefits. It also provides
access to our Massachusetts Benefits Calculator where
veterans and dependents can estimate eligibility for Town
of Barnstable veteran‘s financial benefits under M.G.L.

The Department is comprised of six programs: Comprehensive Planning, Conservation, Community Development,
Economic Development, Parking Management and Regulatory Review.
To learn more about Planning & Development please visit our web page www.townofbarnstable.us/
planninganddevelopment. For additional information, please contact Elizabeth Jenkins, Director, at 508-862-4678 or

This year brought many challenges to normal program
delivery as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The
Planning & Development staff successfully transitioned to a
remote operation, with minimal disruption to normal
scheduling or service delivery. Boards, Committee, and
Commissions resumed meetings after a brief interruption,
and staff continued to accept and process applications and
schedule public meetings via a new Zoom format. As a
result of the impact of the pandemic on local businesses,
Economic Development staff put a focus on helping our
small businesses through direct outreach, actively pursuing
grant opportunities, partnering with local business
organizations, including the Hyannis Main Street Business
Improvement District (BID) and Love Live Local to
develop new and safe ways to bring people downtown.
Planning & Development staff worked with an
interdisciplinary Town of Barnstable team to shape the look
and function of Main Street by closing one lane, expanding
the public realm to accommodate outdoor dining and retail,
and providing new wayfinding that emphasized public
health. Our Arts & Culture program continued the HyArts
Artist Shanty program, making operational adjustments
and providing much-needed support for the local arts
community during the pandemic. The Parking program
transitioned to touchless service and enhanced online
opportunities that balanced customer service expectations
with convenient remote access to staff and services.
COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING
Comprehensive Planning identifies, analyzes and plans
for long-term needs related to residential, commercial, and
economic development, the preservation and enhancement
of natural and historic resources and the provision of
adequate public facilities and infrastructure.
Accomplishments for the year and ongoing projects
include:
• Hyannis Housing Rezoning Project: Drafted updated
zoning for the Downtown Hyannis Growth Incentive
Zone to promote housing production that respects
traditional form and community character, expands
permitted uses, and is accessible and understandable to
public.
• Chapter H Application: Worked with the Cape Cod
Commission to raise Industrial Service & Trade Areas in
support of business growth and relocation
• Opportunity Zone Academy: In collaboration with the
LOCUS/Smart Growth America, developed capacity and

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The Economic Development Program of the
Department of Planning & Development works to
cultivate a healthy and vibrant environment for three
main areas of economic development to occur and thrive:
business development, tourism, and arts & culture.
Economic Development staff work to strengthen the
connection with the Planning and Housing programs, and
to help guide the development and implementation of
policy that: strengthens the local economy through
balanced development; makes Barnstable a desirable place
for businesses to expand and locate; enlivens commercial
districts and our working waterfronts; promotes
community identity through the development of
coordinated marketing, branding, and place-making in the
public realm; leverages wise public investment that results
in community benefits, such as workforce housing, space
for local businesses, accessible employment opportunities
and new tax revenue to sustain Barnstable’s vibrancy.
This year we replaced our Economic Development
Specialist position with a new Marketing & Outreach
Manager. This addition will allow the Economic
Development Program to fortify its “boots on the ground”
approach. In tandem with the Permit Coordinator’s
guidance through the regulatory process, the Marketing &
Outreach Manager offers a resource for new businesses
navigating the upstart process. The goals of this new
position are to create a marketing campaign to attract new
businesses, to do outreach to existing businesses so they
maintain awareness of issues and have a place to go with
questions and concerns, and to establish a direct line of
open communication that engages our public and offers a
resource that makes Barnstable the best possible place to
do business.
At the operational level, Economic Development staff
support a wide variety of initiatives that emphasize job
creation and retention, along with investment in
Barnstable’s commercial areas, and assist local businesses
in project permitting, locating expansion opportunities,
business planning, and the search for grants and other
funding sources. Strong partnerships with the Greater
Hyannis Chamber of Commerce, Hyannis Main Street
Business Improvement District, village business and civic
associations, Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, and the
State Executive Office of Housing and Economic
Development support Barnstable’s position as the regional
economic hub for investment opportunities leading to job
creation and retention and strengthening the tax base.
Accomplishments for the year and ongoing projects
include:
Small Business Grants: secured $70,000 in grant
funding from MassDevelopment and the Attorney
General’s Office that was then awarded to small, local,
storefront businesses in Downtown Hyannis.
Local Rapid Recovery Program: received a technical
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
2020 ANNUAL REPORT 131
assistance grant through the Department of Housing and
Community Development (DHCD) in collaboration with
the BID, to build off previous work on a Hyannis Main
Street Retail Market Strategy and develop a retail market
analysis and positioning strategy that addresses the impacts
of COVID-19 and identifies the retail mix needed for a
thriving downtown given our particular demographics.
Expedition Blue Project: continued work with the
Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce and CambridgeSeven
Architects on the installation of exhibits that promote
our marine-centered live/work/play economy.
Tourism Grant: Staff administers and monitors this
grant in conjunction with the Greater Hyannis and Cape
Cod Chambers of Commerce (recipients) and the Town
Manager’s Office.
Tourism Mini-Grant program: Staff administers this
grant, which provided $7,000 in direct funding to local
cultural organizations, civic associations, and non-profits
to enhance tourism in Barnstable.
Cape Cod Culinary Incubator (CCCI): worked with
the CCCI to develop a model to distribute food prepared
in culinary classes at the Shared Commercial Kitchen to
low income neighborhoods on the Cape to address food
insecurity during COVID.
Business Outreach: Ongoing program that fosters
and strengthens connections between Town government
and local businesses, and keeps planning initiatives
responsive to current business needs and trends.
Economic Development Incentive Programs:
Provide support for businesses taking advantage of these
programs, including Tax Increment Financing (TIF),
designed to incentivize investment for development and
redevelopment projects.
Business Resource Tools: Economic Development
Updates and enhancement of the Business Barnstable
brand and website.

Arts & Culture
In alignment with state, regional and local
organizations, the Arts and Culture Program operates
within the Planning & Development (P&D) Department
supporting P&D Economic Development goals. Arts and
Culture are fundamental to community character, quality
of life and economic development. Fostering the creative
economy supports economic growth; contributes to the
vibrancy of our villages; benefits local creatives; enriches
resident and visitor experiences alike; and supports our
business community. The Town’s work to reinforce its
identity as a cultural destination reinforces our community
profile as a destination with a strong creative economy.
Supporting the creative sector and facilitating artistic
interactions, we see exponentially the energy and
enthusiasm reinvested in our town and weaved arts and
culture into the socio-economic fabric of our community.
Impacts of our efforts include: consistent venues and
steady revenue for local artists and artisans; a positive
image for Hyannis as our town’s urban core; spontaneous
partnerships between artists and local businesses; increased
demand for more artist exhibit and work space; increase in
private investments and infrastructure improvements; and
strengthening collaborations with arts, cultural and
business organizations.
A visit to artsbarnstable.com gives a thorough
overview of Arts and Culture activities in all seven
villages.
SPECIFIC ACCOMPLISHMENT:
Economic Development-Arts and Culture
FY 2020: July 1, 2019-June 30, 2020
Hyannis HyArts Artist Shanty program:
The artist shanty program provides affordable rental
space for Cape Cod artists and artisans to work and sell at
these “seaside studios”. The shanties offer prime visibility
for creatives to work and sell in a beautiful setting. It is a
tremendous opportunity with low financial risk, and
potential to increase sales revenue from on-site
transactions as well as other revenue streams from special
commissions or invitations to be represented in other
shops and galleries.
This incubator program was designed for the creative
community to experience a setting and program like no
other. The Town sets the table and the artists bring the
meal! Artists supply everything and learn and improve
business, marketing and selling skills. This program is
about connecting creatives to one another, to the
community and connecting visitors to our community as
well as the literal connection of connecting the waterfront
with Main Street, Hyannis.
• Season opening of the Hyannis HyArts Artist Shanty
program during COVID-19 pandemic.
This Artist Shanty program aligns with the state
cultural district goals to attract artists and cultural
enterprises; encourage business and job development;
establish the district as a visitor destination; enhance
property values; and foster local cultural development.
This program meets Hyannis HyArts Cultural District
goals to foster the creative economy, establish a ‘sense of
place’ and citizen engagement.

PARKING MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Parking within our community plays a significant role
in various capacities. The Parking Management Program is
comprised of two different but complimentary programs:
Parking Resources and Gateway Greeters. We strive to not
only manage and implement objectives for on and off
street public parking in the Town of Barnstable, but set an
example of how parking can positively assist with
economic prosperity through innovative technology,
proactive solutions and exemplary customer service. This
year’s program goal, keeping in line with the Town’s
mission statement, is as follows:
“The goal of the Parking Management Program is to
continue to consistently provide the highest level of
services while positively assisting our residents and visitors
alike through enriched customer services and efficient
community parking management while promoting
accessibility to the communities’ cultural and recreational
resources as well as our downtown business districts.”
The office processes approximately 4,000 parking
citations per year for violations within all of the 7 Villages
including Bismore Park, Main Street, beaches, ramps,
landings, commuter lot, and malls. We conduct
approximately 700 hearings on appeals per year, and
provide maintenance and collection services for parking
kiosks. We work closely with our data processing company
on payments and data collection, and the Police
Department on enforcement, and with the Registry of
Motor Vehicles on ticket clearances, handicapped placards
and updated laws and systems. In addition, the Parking
Division supports the Town in other various capacities
including virtual permitting, visitor services through the

BARNSTABLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
AIRPORT PROGRAM:
The Barnstable Municipal Airport serves as a
distinct commercial transportation hub for the

meeting the regional demand for air transportation
(both commercial and private transportation). For
some, it provides very affordable and economic travel
opportunities to/from Hyannis and other major
destinations across the country, and yet for others,
the airport provides a much-needed mode of travel to
and from the Islands of Nantucket and Martha’s
Vineyard. This includes travel, tourism, and
commuting opportunities for a large professional
labor force. Barnstable Municipal Airport connects
residents to worldwide markets and destinations,
sustaining Cape Cod’s rapidly expanding population
and business community and welcomes visitors to
Cape Cod, a world-renowned tourist destination.
Barnstable Municipal Airport is a vital link to the
regional, national, and international markets that
drive our emerging economy. As documented in the
Massachusetts Department of Transportation
(MassDOT) Aeronautics Division CY2019 (FY2020)

FY 2020 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
In FY2020, the Airport was well underway in the development of
new business strategies. With the advent of the 2018 Airport
Business and Marketing Plan, the Airport began to modify its
business approach and implemented a number of modifications in
FY2020; with four major goals that include: maximizing general
aviation activity at the Airport, diversify airport revenue streams,
becoming a regional air transportation leader, and enhancing the
airport image and branding; the airport was able to grow and
diversify. Even with the pandemic hitting the United States in
January 2020, the airport was still able to complete various tasks in
FY2020 with airport accomplishments as follows:
• Leveraged over $1.9M in grant funding to implement various
airport safety, improvement and economic development projects.
• Implemented a number of environmental enhancements that help
reduce environmental impacts, help offset carbon emissions and to
do our part as environmental stewards and stakeholders within the
community such as:
o Installation of rooftop solar on one of our tenant buildings

In Fiscal Year 2020, the Community Preservation Committee (CPC)
approved and recommended a total of nine projects to the Town Council,
through the Town Manager, for appropriations totaling $4,178,860 for
Historic Preservation, Open Space and Recreation, and Community Housing
were among the projects for which funding was approved and appropriated.
Community Preservation Act (CPA) Open Space/Recreation funds in
the amount of $162,180 was approved by the CPC and appropriated by the
Town Council for the rehabilitation of Barnstable Hollow Field. This
funding request by Town of Barnstable Department of Public Works (DPW)
included the removal of deteriorated player benches, perimeter fencing, back-
stop, flagpole and guard rails. The underutilized baseball field has been
transformed into a multi-use greenspace for a variety of events, functions,
and user groups. Improvements included regrading of the site, removal of the
old infield, installation of loam, irrigation system, grass, fencing, wood-faced
guard rails, handicap persons accessible entrance, picnic tables, and other
miscellaneous materials. Rehabilitation of this field is consistent with the
Barnstable Comprehensive Field Study and construction was performed
under the direction of the Department of Public Works.

documents, the Annual Reports were scanned and digitized
while the books were unbound. Digitization of these records
allows wider access and searching capabilities for the public
through the Town website and for staff by using keywords,
saving measurable research time, while allowing the preserved
original to be stored in a climate-controlled vault.

The Affordable Housing Growth & Development Trust
Fund Board (Trust) requested $2.500,000 in CPA Community
Housing funds to increase the availability of Community
Housing in Barnstable by funding both programs and projects
and initiating the same in a more proactive role. The Trust
will fund a variety of projects such as: pre-development tasks
such as feasibility studies on town-owned land; programs to
assist first-time homebuyers, and gap funding to assist
developers of Community Housing. Maintenance of this
reserve fund allows the Trust flexibility to react to market real
estate opportunities as they occur.
The Department of Public Works requested and was
approved for an additional $169,266 for replacement of failed
metal windows with historic wood replicated windows at the
West Barnstable Community Building. This additional
funding allowed the Department to contract for the
replacement with wood windows more in keeping with the
original design of the building. The West Barnstable
Community Building is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places and is located in the West Barnstable Village
Historic and Old King’s Highway Historic Districts.
Orenda Wildlife Land Trust (Orenda) requested $425,000
in CPA Open Space/Recreation funds for the acquisition of

and 55 Hayes Road, Centerville, Map 210, Parcels 089/003,
089/004, and 089/002, totaling approximately 6 acres. Orenda
raised $75,000 of the total purchase price of $500,000 with
support of neighbors and local grants. The property will be
owned by Orenda with a Conservation Restriction held by the
Town of Barnstable which provides for future improvements to
the property. Each of the three developable lots are located
very near to Lake Wequaquet. Protection from development
will protect the water quality of Lake Wequaquet and the
wildlife that is native to the site. The property is a mature
mixed hardwood forest that serves as a refuge to dozens of
songbirds and wildlife and will be preserved as Open Space in
perpetuity.
The Community Housing Project called “MidPoint
Apartments” received CPA and Town Council approval for
appropriation of $400,000 in Community Housing funds in
support of the creation of four (4) affordable deed-restricted
residential rental studio apartment units within the 14 unit
apartment redevelopment project located at 560 West Main
Street, Hyannis, Map 269, Parcel 216. Three (3) studio units
will be restricted at 80% Area Median Income (AMI) and one
(1) studio unit will be restricted at 65% Area Median Income
(AMI). The four (4) affordable studio rental units are to be
held affordable in perpetuity.

To preserve and protect historical
buildings and settings throughout

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 13 Historic Districts including six
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 Properties of the
Code of the Town of Barnstable 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 2020 the Commission reviewed 25 such matters,
reflecting the continuing strong real estate market in the
Town of Barnstable. The Commission issued three (3)
demolition delays during this year. We also voted in favor
of the full demolition of five (5) structures. Additionally,
we drafted three (3)letters of support for the digitization
of the Town of Barnstable’s Annual Reports, the GB
Holbrook House located at 10 Hyannis Avenue, Hyannis,
as well as the Tales of Cape Cod. 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 continued to receive updates regarding
the 2019 Survey and Planning Grant offered by the
Massachusetts Historical Commission. This grant provided
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 the Administrative Assistant, Erin
Logan, who brings her sharp mind and friendly personality
to the Historical desk. Also, we look forward to working
further with Director Elizabeth Jenkins.
One of the Commission’s saddest losses was the
death of Elizabeth Mumford, a Hyannisport resident who
inspired a renewed awareness of her community’s historic
relevance with a website devoted to the village’s residents
and activities as well as several presentations to the public
which showed their development and its importance.

Veterans support: Jocelyn Howard, clinical psychologist and
Director of the Cape Cod Vets Center, explained the relative
roles of the organizations serving veterans on the Cape, which
can be confusing because they have similar names. The
Center that Dr. Howard directs offers readjustment counseling
to combat veterans regardless of their military discharge status,
and also serves Gold Star family members. In general, the
Vets Center is adequately funded but does not have access to
flexible funds to provide activities for the veterans and their
families, which is a regular need.
Food Insecurity: Brenda Swain, Falmouth Service Center;
Kim Concra, Barnstable County Extension Service; David
Sheinkopf, Cape Cod Synagogue; and Christine Menard,
Family Pantry of Cape Cod; visited the committee over two
meetings. We learned about the Cape Cod Hunger Network,
the purpose of which is to communicate and collaborate across
the Cape. Ms. Swain shared statistics about food insecurity,
including 5,170 households and 20,080 individuals are food
insecure in Barnstable County. In Barnstable, the pantries are
small, largely because there are more social service agencies
providing the services that are often provided by pantries on
the lower and upper Cape. Also, there are nearby
organizations in Yarmouth and Harwich and Barnstable
residents travel to access them. For the Family Pantry in
Harwich, 30% of pantry users are from the Town of
Barnstable. Leaders of the large pantries encouraged
involvement by the local pantries in Barnstable.

Recovery Support: Ginny Mercure of Gandara explained that
Gandara offers peer-based Recovery Support Centers in four towns
in Massachusetts, including Barnstable (Hyannis), where the
Recovery Support Center is called PIER. They sponsor sober
socials, sober events such as fishing trips and holiday celebrations,
Recovery Fest, and Recovery Month events, and offer Recovery
Coach services. Their needs are to expand their employment
training program, and to address the common challenges of
transportation, housing and jobs.
Mental Health Training for First Responders: Jacquie Lane,
NAMI of the Cape and Islands, and Sgt. Jennifer Ellis, of the
Barnstable Police Department (BPD), shared their efforts in
promoting Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training for
community members, and Community Crisis Intervention Team
(CCIT) training for police officers in the towns on Cape Cod and
The Islands. Currently 55% of BPD officers are trained in
MHFA, with 100% of Community Service Officers, dispatchers
and SWAT team members trained. The goal is for 100% of BPD
officers to be trained in MHFA, and 20% trained in CCIT, at least
one on each shift. The challenge to departments in providing the
training is the cost of overtime for the officer and then the
officer’s shift to be backfilled.
Aging in Place: Susan Loucks, Executive Director of
Neighborhood Falmouth, reported that her group, and others like
it (Nauset Neighbors) provide non-medical services to seniors
who need assistance in their homes, and are largely volunteer
operated. Neighborhood Falmouth (NF) has 130 members and the
average age is 86. The budget is covered by membership fees and
grants. At the beginning, the NF group planned to have a two-
year start-up phase, and fundraises through family foundations and
individual donations. Her advice on the first step in planning a
program is to form a working group.
CONCLUSION
In reviewing the current state of these areas of concern the
Human Services Committee has found that some of the identified
need areas are being addressed through other committees and/or
organizations. However, Food Insecurity continues to be an unmet
need in the Town. The Committee will focus our work for the
next year on assessing and addressing Food Insecurity in the Town
of Barnstable.
The members of the Human Services Committee thank our
Town for the opportunity to serve. We request the opportunity to
meet and share information with you regarding these
recommendations.

installation and signage. The Commission continues
working creatively with businesses in promoting the use of
historic signage and symbols to create a welcoming
experience for residents and visitors. Respect and
appreciation of our historic architecture has given new
direction to the adaptive reuse structures that enhance the
presence of a diverse array of businesses, especially at the
waterfront.
During Fiscal Year 2020 the Commission met 22 times
and reviewed 37 applications. The following is a summary
of the applications reviewed by the Commission from July

Green Community. The Infrastructure and Energy
Committee (IEC) sent a letter to the Town Council
recommending support of the Green Community (GC)
initiative and the Town’s efforts to move the application
forward. In coordination with David Anthony, Director of
Property and Risk Management, the IEC has pursued the
State application for GC. The GC program includes
technical assistance and funds for solar initiatives,
municipal building energy reduction, municipal vehicle
upgrades to more energy efficient vehicles, and an energy
efficient building code (i.e. Stretch Code).
On February 10, 2020, Lisa Sullivan, the Southeast
Regional Green Community Coordinator for the
Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER),
gave a presentation reviewing the purpose and process of
the GC initiative. A grant from the State was awarded to
the Town and Margaret Song of the Cape Light Compact
was hired to create a database for a Municipal Energy
Inventory including municipal building energy audits and
an energy reduction plan. The advantage of the GC
destination is State grant money will be available for
energy reduction initiatives, which will save the Town
energy costs for many years to come.
The committee notes and applauds the persistent
efforts of David Anthony.

Bottle Ban. IEC was and is in support of a plastic water
bottle ban within municipal facilities. This was promoted
by the group Sustainable Practices and the ban has been
instituted within a number of Cape towns but not yet in
Barnstable. This initiative will require a commitment to
increase the infrastructure of refillable water bottle stations.
Recycling. Kari Parcell, Waste Reduction Coordinator for
the Barnstable County Extension Service, presented an
overview of the Cape’s efforts to recycle.
On January 22, 2020, IEC members toured the Town Solid
Waste Division operation.
Our impression was that it is extensive and well
managed. Discussions continue around how to increase
recycling and a subcommittee has formed to explore
opportunities to increase composting, to reduce the weight
and cost of this in our solid waste stream.
Climate Change. On June 19, 2020 we sent a letter to the
Town Council advising support of the Barnstable Climate
Action Network’s Emergency Climate Change Resolution.
The Town Council passed the resolution in November.
Air Quality. The committee was fortunate to receive the
advice of Jane Ward who had an extensive career in public
health. On September 14, 2020, the committee interviewed
the DPW Supervisor of Structures and Grounds Steve
Sundelin and Town Architect Mark Marinaccio in regards
to Covid-19 and building ventilation. Through the efforts
of these staff the Town was and is actively involved in this
aspect of Covid mitigation. The IEC submitted a letter to
the Town Council recommending best practices in
municipal buildings regarding ventilation.

We were pleased to welcome new member
Douglas Payson. Jessica Rapp-Grassetti was
the Council liaison until November 2019,
when Kris Clark became Council liaison.
The COVID-19 pandemic created a
number of challenges for the Committee.
Despite having meeting time eventually
forced to go virtual we were able to finalize
the Santuit Management Plan, populate the
Management team and hold one meeting in
person. Working with the Commonwealth
and Town of Mashpee, the Management
Committee addressed algae blooms, repair of
the fish ladder and dam, and cranberry bog
reclamation.
LAPC, led by Tom Lee and with assistance from the Community
Preservation Committee (CPC), created a Conservation Restriction Process
Flowchart to track Conservation Restrictions (CR) as they proceed through
local and state approvals. LAPC reviewed and approved conservation
restrictions for a 9.51 parcel at 200 Communication Way, a 6.2-acre parcel
located on Great Marsh Road, Centerville and a high priority parcel
consisting of 15.96 acres located at 28 Falcon Road in West Barnstable.
LAPC continued to monitor outstanding CRs known as Prince Avenue,
Harju and Amaral and LAPC continued to push for the finalization and
approval of the 27 acre Breeds Hill Road land swap.
LAPC spent a lot of time and effort updating the Open Space and
Recreation Plan. The Commonwealth reviewed the Report and provided
comments. LAPC assisted the Planning Department in responding to the
Commonwealth’s comments. At fiscal year end, the Town was awaiting State
approval of the Plan.
LAPC worked closely with Barnstable Land Trust (BLT) in helping to
map out and identify challenges to the pathways. Several members of LAPC
joined a BLT Pathways Committee.
LAPC invited Department of Public Works Director Dan Santos to
explain the Town’s Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan.
Committee member Janet Crystal also educated the committee on
mushrooms.
LAPC looks forward to a time, post COVID, that the Pathways
Weekends can be reinstated. LAPC plans to update its charge and begin
implementation of the approved Open Space and Recreation Plan during the
coming fiscal year.

The Planning Board’s role is to regulate land division and
subdivisions within the Town; make recommendations to the
Town Council with regard to changes in the Zoning
Ordinance; and provide advice for comprehensive planning
initiatives. The Planning Board also assists with the
Barnstable Comprehensive Plan. In all their work the Board
strives to conserve and protect its natural and man-made
resources while supporting sustainable growth for our local
economy. The Planning Board is the designated special permit
granting authority for the Hyannis Village Zoning Districts
and has a role in the creation of Regulatory Agreements in the
Hyannis Growth Incentive Zone (the GIZ) in accordance
with Chapter 168.
In May of 2020 the Planning Board promptly transitioned
to remote meetings held via Zoom as a result of the COVID-
19 state of emergency in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The Planning Board overcame subsequent challenges with
remote participation including structuring public comment,
adjusting to screen sharing for presentations, internet
instability, and overall lack of experience for all with online
meeting technology.
The Planning Board held 18 meetings during the 2020
fiscal year. The following is a summary of the Board’s
activities:
• Eight (8) Approval Not Required (ANR) plans were
reviewed and endorsed by the Planning Board.
• Subdivision activity included five (5) lot releases, two
(2) subdivision completions and one (1) subdivision
modification.
• The Board held public hearings on four (4) proposed zoning
amendments: a text amendment (Chapter 240 Zoning,
Article II, Section 9) to remove seasonal restrictions on
the erection of tents as temporary accessory structures to

RECREATION FOR ALL
The Sandy Neck Board is a Town committee comprised
of seven members who provide the Town Manager and
Town Council with advice relative to Sandy Neck Beach
Park for the purposes of conservation, economic
sustainability, public use and education and research. In
addition, the Board also provides policy guidance for all
passive activities such as swimming, hiking, horseback
riding, hunting, camping and fishing.
Of course, safety continues to be a key focus area for
the board and the Sandy Neck Team. As a result of the
pandemic, special policies were developed, based on state
guidelines, to aid the staff in managing the safe usage of the
facilities during this challenging time.
With Covid-19, this year presented a number of
challenges for the Sandy Neck (SNK) team. Limitations
on spacing on top of nesting bird restrictions created an
extremely challenging season for the SNK staff. Thankfully
the new app was extremely helpful in aiding
communications and also important was the introduction
of a reservation system for campers. The new system
helped considerably in making the allocation of space on
the beach as fair as possible. Although usage and revenue
from both Barnstable and out of town residents has steadily
increased over the last five years, this year, both the
pandemic 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
Director of Natural Resources/Sandy Neck Beach Park
Manager Nina Coleman and her team and they worked
hard under their Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) permit
to open as much beach as possible, but ultimately our
revenue was impacted negatively.
This change in conjunction with new policies targeted
at beach behavior and the support of the Sandy Neck team
and Barnstable police continues to help to improve the
beach experience for users.
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 septic system and parking lot.
Unfortunately, sand placed on the beach in 2018 has now
been significantly eroded by recent storms. Appropriations
for new sand will be required to protect both the parking
lot and septic system. For the past eight years, we have
spent approximately $60,000 per year for sand replacement.
Storms also did significant damage to the Gatehouse in
2018. There are now plans in place to study remedies to
create a more protective location, however, these plans
have been delayed due to the pandemic.
Managing the impact of the uncertainty inherent in
the coastal environment 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 focus 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 mitigation of this risk.

THE VOICE OF THE YOUTH
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
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
7th Annual Community Substance Abuse Prevention
Forum - The Barnstable Youth Commission hosted a
presentation with Dr. Deb Ciavola, Officer David Downs,
Officer Dennis Stampfl, and the Barnstable County Deputy
Sheriff Department, in order to educate parents on how to
start the conversation with their children on substance
abuse prevention. We also gave examples of the
consequences of drug use along with real images of the
substances in use by teens. Outside we were able to have
the Falmouth “Hidden in Plain Sight” trailer for parents to
enter a mock teenage bedroom and learn about common
hiding places for substances their children may be keeping
from them and what some tools used for substance use, that
parents may not look at as such.
4th Annual Youth Job Fair - The Youth Job Fair was
attended by over 250 teenagers ages 14-17. Two, almost
full, buses were sent directly from Barnstable High School
to the Hyannis Youth and Community Center where the
event was held, significantly increasing our numbers. The
students were informed of the transportation opportunities
offered by the Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority
(CCRTA) along with the education to all on the child
labor laws. There were over 30 businesses looking for
workers and volunteers. Many found the workers they
needed for the summer and were very satisfied with the
turnout of attendees.
“Hidden in Plain Sight” Trailer - As the Youth Summit
could not occur due to Covid-19 in the spring of 2020, we
were left with some grant funds thanks to State
Representative Will Crocker. We managed to gain
permission to use the funds for the creation of a “Hidden in
Plain Sight” Trailer that we have collaborated with the
Barnstable Police to oversee its future use.
Respectfully submitted,
Lucas McCauley
Chair
Visited the State House - A majority of the Youth
Commission visited and toured the statehouse. We met
with State Senator Julian Cyr and State Representative
Will Crocker and had very thoughtful conversations with
them. We thanked Representative Crocker for the generous
educational grant funding he secured for our Substance
Abuse Community Forum and Youth Summit.
MAJOR PROJECTS:
Community Substance Abuse Prevention Forum - The
event was well attended and parents gained a lot of
knowledge regarding substance abuse that we believe will
help the youth of our town.
Hidden in Plain Sight Trailer - The trailer is still in
development and will be ready for the Substance Abuse
Prevention Forum in fiscal year 2022.
Youth Summit - It is a full-day event dedicated to teaching
7th graders how to make good choices as they move on to
high school. Postponed till fiscal year 2021 due to Covid-
19.
Youth Job Fair - We received significantly more attendees
and businesses than in previous years. Our plan is to only
grow the job fair in the future as we see it as a valuable
resource for many in Barnstable and on Cape Cod.
One Love - A relationship abuse education workshop
usually provided to the upperclassmen in the high schools.
Postponed till fiscal year 2021 due to Covid-19.
4th of July Parade – The Youth Commission was honored
to be the Grand Marshals of the 2019 4th of July Parade.

While the year was interrupted with Covid-19 in the

change and continue our efforts in advocating for the youth
of the Town of Barnstable.

KEEPING A SPECIAL PLACE SPECIAL!
The 19-member appointed Cape Cod Commission
board includes representatives from each of the 15 Cape
Cod towns, a minority representative, a Native American
representative, a Barnstable County Commissioner, and a
Governor’s appointee. The board is supported by
approximately 35 professionals and an executive director.
This report represents broad areas of the Commission’s
work and responsibilities, highlighting several specific
projects and initiatives.

Cape Cod Commission celebrates 30 years
The Cape Cod Commission was signed into law in
January 1990, and ratified in a county-wide vote in March
1990. For the past 30 years, the agency and its 19-member
board have worked to uphold and further the region’s
special natural, coastal, scientific, historical, cultural,
architectural, archaeological, recreational, and other values.
The act was drafted to be specific enough to address the
pressing environmental and development issues at the time
of creation, but flexible enough to adapt to changing
threats and opportunities.
The Commission’s 30th anniversary will be recognized
more fully in the year to come. We are proud that the
30-year-old Cape Cod Commission act has withstood the
test of time, and continues to be relevant and effective.
Covid-19 Response
Operations: The Cape Cod Commission moved to
remote working conditions in mid-March along with the
rest of Barnstable County. Commission staff developed
virtual meeting protocols and resumed public hearings with
real-time public participation online in April for
Commission-related meetings and those of the boards it
supports, including the Metropolitan Planning
Organization, Joint Transportation Committee, Barnstable
County Economic Development Council, Barnstable
County Coastal Management Committee, Cape Cod Water
Protection Collaborative, and Cape Cod and Islands Water
Protection Fund Management Board.
Information: Working with regional, state, and local
partners, the Commission helped develop and maintain
several information tools and websites to provide up-to-date
information on infections, economic impacts and other
details supporting the Cape’s reopening and recovery
efforts.
In cooperation with Cape Cod Healthcare and
Barnstable County Department of Health and
Environment, the Commission launched a COVID-19
Community Alert System dashboard in April showing
where and when positive COVID-19 tests were confirmed.
Information was presented down to ZIP-code levels and
initially updated daily, then multiple times a week. By the
end of June, the dashboard received more than 300,000
visits.
The Commission partnered with the Cape Cod
Chamber of Commerce on a series of business surveys,
including one in April 2020, with additional surveys
planned throughout the pandemic to gauge impacts and
assist Cape communities with recovery. Staff also worked
with the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod to develop an Arts
Impact Survey.
Technical Assistance and Relief: The Cape Cod
Commission received a $400,000 Coronavirus Aid, Relief,
and Economic Security (CARES) Act Recovery Assistance
Grant from the US Department of Commerce’s Economic
Development Administration (EDA) to support efforts to
respond and recover from the devastating economic
impacts caused by the pandemic and develop strategies to
improve resilience in the future.
Executive Director Kristy Senatori was asked to serve
on the Cape and Islands Reopening Task Force along with
community leaders and the legislative delegation, and in
addition, participated in twice-weekly COVID-19
Department Managers meetings, as well as Barnstable
County Regional Emergency Planning Committee calls.
The Commission developed a data dashboard
(datacapecod.com) to provide demographic and economic
data for Cape Cod towns, non-profit organizations, and
businesses recovering from the economic impacts of
COVID-19. The dashboards include regional and town
data where available, on population demographics,
unemployment trends, rooms and meals tax revenues,
employment, housing, seasonality and traffic impacts. Staff
created a Municipal Planning Strategy Kit as a resource for
municipal planners and staff related to COVID-19 and
The Cape Cod Commission was created
by an Act of the Massachusetts state
legislature in 1989. The Commission is
charged with coordinating a balanced
relationship between economic progress
and environmental protection. “Keeping
a special place special” describes the
agency’s mission to protect the region’s
unique qualities.

Cape Cod and Islands Water Protection Fund
The Cape Cod and Islands Water Protection Fund
(CCIWPF) is a critical new funding source for local
implementation of water quality projects, as well as for the
monitoring and modeling that support communities as they
evaluate and adapt their plans to ensure success.
Since collection of revenue began in July 2019, the
Fund generated more than $9M through the end of
FY2020. The Commission is charged with providing
administrative and technical support to the CCIWPF
Management Board. The Commission convened the
Management Board in May 2019. Over the course of
FY2020, the Commission facilitated discussions between
the Board and the Massachusetts Department of Revenue,
the Massachusetts Department of Environmental
Protection, and the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust;
worked with the Board’s Bylaws and Regulations
Committee to develop draft bylaws, adopted by the Board
in September 2019; and worked with the Bylaws and
Regulations Committee to draft regulations for equitable
distribution of the funds.
Cape Cod Climate Initiative
Cape Cod faces unique challenges due to its geography
and geology, historic connection to the sea, and the
number of residences, businesses and critical infrastructure
located in its most vulnerable areas. The extent of threats
facing the Cape Cod region requires coordinated action and
broad community efforts.
The Cape Cod Climate Initiative is a community-
focused, information-based effort to inform a strategic
framework and collaborative approach to address the
region’s contributions to and threats from climate change.
More than two hundred citizens attended a series of
community meetings held in October 2019, providing input
regarding planning priorities, concerns, and barriers to
moving climate adaptation and mitigation actions forward
throughout the region. As a follow-up to these meetings,
Commission staff organized five additional facilitated focus
groups to dig deeper into the concerns, opportunities, and
outcomes identified through the community meetings. The
feedback and input from these meetings was analyzed to
shape a broader public process to advance climate change
action.
Greenhouse Gas Inventory: The updated Regional
Policy Plan includes planning actions to address challenges
facing our natural, built, and community systems. To
encourage and engage communities to better understand
regional greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and identify
adaptation and mitigation strategies, the Commission is
working to develop an estimated baseline of GHG
emissions for the region. The inventory proposes to count
GHG emissions from six sectors. Once complete, the
inventory will provide information to help better
understand the impact of potential actions on GHG
emissions and will be used as the baseline by which progress
on climate mitigation may be measured.
Analysis of potential electric vehicle charging station
locations: Commission staff identified best practices for
siting and design of electric vehicle charging infrastructure,
including compiling resources for public and private
stakeholder use. This work includes research of EV
manufacturer projections, state and national trends and
goals for EV and charging infrastructure adoption, as well as
an analysis of future needs for Cape Cod. Commission staff
identified current charging infrastructure on Cape Cod and
have incorporated this data into a GIS application which
can also help locate areas that can support future charging
stations based on vetted siting criteria.
Analysis to identify sites for utility scale solar or
energy storage: Commission staff have identified criteria
for land uses and resource areas that are more and less
suitable for solar array development. The results of a GIS
screening analysis will be available through an online tool
illustrating the relative suitability of land and existing land
uses for new solar installations.
Evaluation of Regulations and Bylaws: The
Commission received grant funds through the
Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and
Environmental Affairs FY20 Planning Assistance Grant
Program to identify best land use practices to promote
climate resilience. Work has begun to evaluate existing
zoning bylaws and regulations in four partner communities
(Bourne, Sandwich, Brewster, and Eastham), and will
follow with recommendations to incorporate best practices,
and the development of a model coastal resiliency bylaw
that could be utilized by any coastal community.
2020 CENSUS: Cape Cod Complete Count Committee
The Cape Cod Commission partnered with the Town
of Barnstable and Barnstable County to increase awareness
about the importance of responding to the 2020 Federal
Census.
Two Cape-wide trainings facilitated by the Regional
Office of the U.S. Census and staff from the Massachusetts
Secretary of the Commonwealth were held, including one
hosted by Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin.
The Committee and its subcommittees will continue
working to identify outreach to hard-to-count populations
to ensure a full and accurate count.
Barnstable Town Manager Mark Ells, County
CAPE COD COMMISSION
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 169
Administrator Jack Yunits, and Commission Executive
Director Kristy Senatori serve as co-chairs of the Cape Cod
Complete Count Committee, which kicked off during this
year’s OneCape Summit, held in July. This volunteer
advisory committee represents a broad cross-section of Cape
residents and leaders and brings together those best suited
to reach traditionally hard-to-count populations.
Data collected through the 2020 Census will set more
than just population estimates for the next 10 years. It will
serve as the basis for elected representation, federal and
state funding formulas and program eligibility.
Transportation
Regional Transportation Plan approved: The 2020
Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) envisions a regional
transportation system that supports the environmental and
economic vitality of the region through infrastructure
investment that focuses on livability, sustainability, equity
and preservation of the character that makes Cape Cod
special. It is the primary means of allocation of federal and
state funds for Cape Cod’s transportation needs.
The plan was adopted on July 15, 2019 by the Cape
Cod Metropolitan Planning Organization. It includes over
$300 million in projects recommended in the draft
MassDOT Cape Cod Canal Transportation Study such as
the reconfiguration of the Bourne Rotary. The plan also
includes over $820 million for roadways, bridges, sidewalks,
and path in the region and over $280 million in transit
funding.
Traffic and COVID-19: Staff began to see traffic
patterns change following Governor Baker’s announcement
in mid-March that offices, businesses, and schools were to
close. Through March 13, 2020 traffic patterns over the
Bourne and Sagamore bridges were fairly normal. Following
the Governor’s announcement, traffic volumes over both
bridges dropped significantly.
The downward trend continued through April. Traffic
volumes over the Bourne and Sagamore bridges were down
48 percent compared to the previous year. Traffic counters
installed at several key locations saw changes as well: a 47
percent drop on Route 6 eastbound east of Exit 5, a 25
percent drop at Route 124 and Queen Anne Road in
Harwich, a 40 percent drop at the Wellfleet/Eastham town
line, and a 38 percent drop at Route 28 and Lumbert Mill
Road in Barnstable.
Cape Cod Canal Bridges: Cape Cod Commission staff
shared its regional planning work, contributed data on
population and visitation to the Army Corps’ initial
studies, and has served as technical advisors on plans to
replace the vehicle bridges over the Canal. The
Commission also works closely with the Massachusetts
Department of Transportation, which will be leading efforts
to connect the new bridges to existing roadways.
The next phase of the project, expected to begin soon,
includes evaluation of bridge type, design, and location as
well as funding strategies for the two new bridges.
Planning & Community Design
Local Comprehensive Plan Update Support: At the
request of the Town of Barnstable, Commission staff agreed
to provide create maps and other graphics related to the
town’s Local Comprehensive Plan update. In addition to
plan graphics, an online, GIS-based map viewer was
envisioned.
$1M Resiliency Grant: The Commission sought and
was awarded a $1 million grant through the United States
Department of Commerce’s Economic Development
Administration (EDA) that will fund development and
implementation of a multi-pronged planning initiative to
help address Barnstable County’s vulnerability to storm
induced impacts.
This major investment from the EDA will help the
Cape Cod region devise and implement long-term
economic recovery strategies and identify and plan for
future economic challenges. This project aims to provide
data and information that allows communities to better
prepare for and respond to impacts, develop a framework
for improving resiliency, and create tools to promote better
local decisions regarding critical vulnerable assets.
Cape Cod Coastal Planner: The Cape Cod
Commission and its partners launched the Cape Cod
Coastal Planner in fall 2019. The planner is a map-based
communication and decision-support tool to help residents
and decision makers understand the relative environmental
and socio-economic effects of implementing adaptation
strategies to address sea level rise, storm surge, and erosion.
The tool integrates research on potential adaptation
strategies for Cape Cod communities and how ecosystem
services are impacted by hazards and strategy selection.
Cape Cod Coastal Planner’s development was also informed
by an extensive stakeholder process, integrating feedback
from potential users across the region, and tested through a
pilot project with the Town of Barnstable.
Arts and Culture Guide: The Commission released
"Leveraging Cultural Assets in Economic Development on
Cape Cod," a report on best practices and lessons learned
for integrating the creative sector into commerce, in early
2020. The guide is intended to inspire collaboration and
strategic planning, elevate successful projects throughout
the region, and strengthens the ties of our arts and
economy. This is a ten-year update to a 2009 guide that
provided guidance on how to design initiatives that
maximize communities’ cultural assets for economic
development. Commission staff also worked with the towns
of Wellfleet and Orleans to create cultural asset inventories.
CAPE COD COMMISSION
170 ANNUAL REPORT
Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP)
Program: In 2019 and 2020, the Commission assisted seven
Cape Cod towns, including Barnstable, with the MVP
planning process to identify climate change impacts and
vulnerabilities and develop and prioritize strategies or
actions to address those vulnerabilities. By June 2020, all 15
Cape towns were designated MVP communities. As a
result, these communities will have access to state funding
to implement identified actions, such as improving
education and communication, addressing low-lying roads,
and changing development regulations in the floodplain.
Commission staff are assisting Cape towns with the
preparation of grant proposals to access state funding
sources and advance their MVP plans.
Economic Development
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
Approved: Working together with the Barnstable County
Economic Development Council and stakeholders
throughout the region an update to the Comprehensive
Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) was approved by
the U.S Economic Development Administration in fall
2019.
The CEDS is a tactical economic development plan
consistent with the growth policy and goals of the Regional
Policy Plan. It provides a vision for the future and a
framework for collaborative action.
The document includes a comprehensive summary of
the region's economy, including identifying regional
strengths and weaknesses as well as opportunities and
challenges; a five-year action plan; and a framework for
evaluating progress on plan implementation. The CEDS
was submitted to the US EDA in June 2019 after approval
by the Barnstable County EDC.
The CEDS is available at: www.capecodcommission.
org/ceds.
License Plate Grant Program: The Cape Cod License
Plate grant program focuses on regional priorities for
economic development, determined annually, that align
with implementation of the region’s CEDS. Barnstable
County has typically distributed license plate funds through
major grants and micro grants.
The Barnstable County Economic Development
Council is responsible for determining grant priorities,
reviewing grant proposals, and making funding
recommendations to the Barnstable County Commissioners
for grant awards.
During the initial micro-grant round in fall 2019, three
organizations were awarded $10,000 grants: the Town of
Yarmouth, FORWARD - Friends or Relatives with Autism
and Related Disabilities and WCAI – the Local National
Public Radio Station for the Cape, Coast & Islands.
In March 2020, the BCEDC voted unanimously to
award $150,000 major license plate grant to a joint proposal
from the Association to Preserve Cape Cod (APCC) and
the Housing Assistance Corporation (HAC). APCC and
HAC will work together on a two-year project to identify
areas where the development of housing and protection of
priority natural resource areas would be most beneficial
In June 2020, a new round of grants of up to $25,000
each was announced to support COVID-19 recovery and
resiliency efforts.
Economic Assessment of Harbors: The Commission
Collaborated with Urban Harbors Institute to assess the
economic impact of harbors on the local and regional
economy. An assessment survey developed by the
Commission asks local business owners about their
awareness of and investments related to climate change,
specifically flooding- or erosion related damage. Results of
the assessment will be used to illustrate the value of harbors
to the local economy and to encourage local support for
maintenance and capital improvements to ensure the
vitality and functioning of the Cape’s harbors.
Regulatory
Through its Regulatory Program, the Cape Cod
Commission reviews projects that present regional issues
identified in the Act, including water quality, traffic flow,
community character, affordable housing, open space,
natural resources, and economic development as
Developments of Regional Impact (DRIs).

HUMAN RIGHTS ADVISORY COMMISSION
We continue to promote equal

human rights of all persons
in Barnstable County.
MISSION STATEMENT
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 173
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.
MISSION 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 2020 (FY20), 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 FY20 remained price-competitive with 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 2019, the Compact launched two new power
supply options, CLC Local Green 50 and CLC Local Green
100. 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
CAPE LIGHT COMPACT
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, 2020, the Compact had approximately
22,160 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 FY20, the Compact’s primary consumer advocacy focus
was on redesigning its Cape & Vineyard Electrification
Offering (CVEO). The Compact expanded its coordination
with Massachusetts stakeholders to redesign CVEO. The
redesigned CVEO focuses on the following:
174 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE
Respectfully submitted,
David W. Anthony
Barnstable Representative
• Consistency with the 2018 amendments to the Green
Communities Act and will advance the goals and
objectives of these amendments while providing cost-
effective energy savings and reducing greenhouse gas
emissions.
• Serving low-and-moderate income members of the
Cape and Vineyard community, a population that faces
economic barriers to installing the three technologies
proposed under CVEO.
• Address the economic barriers such as the high up-front
costs and inability to qualify for a loan.
• Through the installation of cold climate air source heat
pumps (“ccASHP” or “heat pump”) CVEO advances
the Commonwealth’s goal of beneficial strategic
electrification and the greening of the building sector.
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, FY20 brought more than
$5 Million of energy efficiency rebates and incentives, awarded
to more than 4,688 Participants of the Compact’s Energy
Efficiency Programs within the Town of Barnstable, resulting in
annual electricity savings of more than 12,800,000 kWh.
Notable activity includes:
• 916 Participants in comprehensive Home Energy
Assessments.
• $56,884.62 spent on municipal energy efficiency projects,
saving more than 20,489 kWh annually. Municipal
entities served include the Barnstable Senior Center.
• 258 non-government commercial & industrial
participants, implementing a wide variety of projects,
resulting in $671,665.90 of awarded incentives and
approximately 2,333,811 kWh of annual electricity
savings.

Note: In the Residential Retail Initiative, several measures may reduce energy use from one fuel source but may
increase use of another fuel resulting in negative kWh savings. Strategic electrification for example is primarily focused on
the adoption of Heat Pump technology which reduces the use of oil or propane but increase the use of electricity and

MISSION STATEMENT
Margeaux Weber
Co-Chair
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 177
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.
MISSION 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 10% vote each and the two
islands having a 35% vote. In accordance with the
legislation within the enabling act of 1960, should there be
a deficit of the Authority in any year, the member towns are
required to make up the deficit in accordance with their
weighted vote. Robert R. Jones represents the Town of
Barnstable on the Board of Governors and Eric Shufelt
represents the Town on the Port Council.
The Steamship Authority went into the new year of
2020 with a strong ridership surpassing the 2019 figures and
it looked like 2020 would be fair sailing. But that changed
quickly when the COVID-19 pandemic swept over the
country. In March, April, and May the Authority’s ridership
plummeted with numbers off as much as 85%. As might be
expected, these numbers are unsustainable and the
Authority scrambled for relief funding from every available
source. Operations were cut back wherever possible and
over 50% of the trips cancelled. Scheduled maintenance
projects were delayed, and perhaps most devastating was
that one hundred and fourteen workers were furloughed. A
revolving ten million dollar line of credit was established
with a local bank, and in addition, the Cape Cod Regional
Transportation Authority shared a portion of funds from the
Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES)
Act. The Steamship Authority received close to ten
million dollars of these funds and they couldn’t have come
at a better time. The funds help sustained the Authority
into the summer months.
As summer approached, the ridership started to pick up
and continued into the fall, but still far behind to make up
any financial differences. This left the Steamship Authority
with a deficit for the first time in 58 years going back into
the 1960’s. Had the Commonwealth not agreed to fund this
deficit, the burden of paying off the deficit would have
fallen to the towns serviced by the Steamship Authority.
The Town of Barnstable would have been on the hook for
10% of that deficit.
The Steamship Authority receives no state or federal
subsidy and all operating and capital costs are paid by the
rate payers. As the Authority is prohibited from making a
profit, there is no mechanism to create a “rainy day” fund so
the funds received from the CARES Act coupled with the
agreement of the state to cover any shortfall saved the five
towns a huge financial burden to make up the difference.
Since day one of the pandemic, the Steamship Authority
continued to deliver the necessities of life to the islands,
and the Board of Governors certainly appreciate the
commitment and dedication of the Authority’s front line
workers who continually provide the lifeline to the islands
of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard.
Changing course, the reconstruction project in Woods
Hole is nearing finish on the water side, but has run into
problems preventing the project to be finished before
summer 2021. With but a handful of pilings left to be set,
they ran into large boulders and glacier ledge which
necessitated moving some pile locations with cost both time
and overruns. Construction has to stop before summer
which may preclude the use of the new third slip until fall.
With the Steamship Authority’s commitment to be as
“green” as possible, the Authority authorized the purchase
three electric buses; two of which will be used in Woods
Hole and one in Hyannis. These state of the art buses cost
$921,461 each as opposed to the conventional diesel
powered bus of around $300,000. Most of the funding will
come from the Volkswagen Environmental Settlement
which is administered by the federal transportation
department and the environmental protection departments.
The following table shows a comparison of passenger,
truck, and freight traffic between the years of 2019 and
2020. It should be noted that the differential between 2019,
a normal year following the scale of prior years, and the
cataclysmic decline in 2020 showing a delta of some -30%
directly caused by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since day one of the pandemic, the Steamship Authority continued to deliver the necessities of life to the
islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. And the Board of Governors certainly appreciates the total
commitment and dedication of the Authority’s front line workers who have given their all through these
difficult times. In addition, the Authority also wished to thank the local legislators and Congressman who
worked hard to secure the necessary funding for the Authority to continue to fulfill its mission.

The committee is continually reviewing its policy to
ensure that the program is supporting its intended recipients.
This year the Committee received sixteen applications and a
total of $8,700.00 was awarded to fifteen households. These
awards ranged from $300.00 to $800.00 with the average
award being $600.00. Awards are made in the form of a
direct payment to the recipient’s Real Estate Tax. As the
number of applicants continues to increase and demonstrate
significant need we are hopeful that this program will
continue to support the most vulnerable members of our
community in the years ahead.
We thank all those individuals who have contributed to
the program and appreciate your future generosity.

EDUCATIONAL ENRICHMENT GRANTS
This is my tenth year as Trustee and Agent for the
Trust.
During the 2019-2020 school year, the Cobb Trust
educational enrichment grants exceeded the previous year
by nearly 15%. All administrative costs are charged to Trust
principal thereby preserving all Trust income for
enrichment programs and awards.
FY 2020 presented unique challenges as a result of
COVID related school closures and policy changes. In
many cases travel and enrichment activities that had been
approved by the Trustee were cancelled. Funding to
reschedule events that were curtailed has been preserved
with the help of the school system’s Grants Coordinator,
Jacqueline Gillis. Whenever possible, remote learning
activities took the place of traditional events. I hope that
during FY 2021 we can return to a full complement of
activities for all students and their teachers.
Over the past several years the Trustee has endeavored
to support large scale projects. During FY 2020, the Trust
partnered with the school department to purchase a new
mobile food truck. This will become a major teaching tool
to benefit the innovative and very popular Barnstable High
School food and hospitality curriculum.
I am pleased to announce that the Trust’s financial
reports for fiscal year 2019 have been submitted to and
acknowledged by the Probate Court.
During the 2021 fiscal year I plan to focus on the
following areas:
• Returning program activities to pre-COVID levels;
• Distributing Trust income for traditional awards to
each school as well as making large high impact
awards as opportunities arise; and
• Increasing public awareness of the Cobb Trust’s
mission.
Going forward, I will continue my efforts to make the
Cobb Trust an even bigger supporter of the public school
students in 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 funds are not readily available in

PROVIDING ASSISTANCE
The Lombard Trust Fund comprises about 50 acres of
land in the village of West Barnstable. The land was
owned by Parker Lombard who passed away in 1754 and
generously donated that land to assist the “Poor” of the
Town of Barnstable.
The key passage in his will states: “My will and all the
real estate that I have in the Town of Barnstable shall be hired
out to the highest bidder and that the rent or income of it shall be
improved for the use and benefit of the Poor of the Town of
Barnstable from one generation to another and never be sold.”
In 2008 I, retired Judge Joseph J. Reardon, was
appointed Trustee of the Trust.
A committee of three great people, Janice Larivierre,
Theresa Santos and Len Gobeil receive applications,
interview candidates and submit their decisions to the
Trustee in an effort to fulfill the wishes of Parker Lombard’s
will. Without their tireless input and triaging of each
application, the poor of the Town of Barnstable would
suffer greatly. I could not function as the Trustee without
their assistance. A deep debt of gratitude is also given to
the assistance of the staff of the Town Manager.
The committee also communicates with many of the
social service agencies in Barnstable in an effort to assist as
many people as possible. I could not function as the
Trustee without the assistance of the Committee.
As Trustee, I also owe deep gratitude to Town Finance
Director Mark Milne, Town Director of Property and Risk
Management David Anthony, and Town Treasurer Debra
Blanchette, and the clerical staff of the Finance
Department.
Over the past few years, the applications of the “Poor”
of the Town of Barnstable have increased and our staff has
been able to provide assistance to hundreds of needy
residents. During the 2019-2020 fiscal year the Lombard
Trust Fund distributed over $100,000. Thank you Mr.
Lombard.

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 (31)
trust funds totaling $31,336,725. 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.
Typically the Committee would focus on disbursements
from the Kirkman Trust Fund and the maintenance of the
Korean War Memorial. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic
the Committee was unable to meet prior to June 30, 2020.
However, the anticipated disbursements will be addressed in
the near future.
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

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Connecting students to career pathways is a priority area for
Barnstable Public Schools (BPS). During the 2019-20 school year
BPS expanded career pathways to include Business and
Entrepreneurship, and Environmental Science and Technology.
Students can now learn in a state-of-the-art laboratory and
adjacent 24’ x 48’ greenhouse made possible by $300,000 in
Massachusetts Skills Capital Grants, $15,000 in Cobb Grants,
and an $1,222,700 appropriation by the Town Council in Capital
Funds to design, construct, and equip the classroom laboratory.
BPS also received an Innovation Pathway designation from the
Baker-Polito Administration for its pathway in Business,
Entrepreneurship & Finance that will serve 200 students when
fully enrolled. BPS is partnering with MassHire Cape and Islands
and the Greater Hyannis Chamber of Commerce, along with the
Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) to provide
students with entrepreneurial education opportunities, including
internships with area businesses. These additional pathways add
to the current pathways of Engineering; Computer Science; Law,
Society and Criminal Justice; Health Careers; Culinary Arts and
Hospitality; and Early Education & Care. Through its partnership
with Cape Cod Community College, many BPS students earn
college credit through dual enrollment courses that align with
career pathway interest.
Career
awareness and
pathways are not
limited to students
in Barnstable High
School. Barnstable
Intermediate School
is the recipient of a
3-year grant from
American Student
Assistance to
incorporate career exploration at the middle school level. BHS
Career Ambassadors have been established to introduce 6th and
7th grade students to the high school pathways, internships, and
other opportunities in their near future. The results of this work
are evident as 126 of the 358 6th grade students showed interest
in taking part in a new 7th grade elective, Pathfinder, that was
developed to provide a deeper dive into career exploration during
the 2020-2021 school year.
In September 2019, the Barnstable Community Innovation
School (BCIS) opened its doors to students. Located at the
former BCHMCPS site, BCIS is a school of choice, where
families from all seven villages of Barnstable can enter a lottery
for enrollment. BCIS implements Project Based Learning to
provide enrichment opportunities for all, and cultivates
community connections through Enrichment Clusters, a
community garden, and community service projects.
RESPONDING TO THE GLOBAL
PANDEMIC
BPS adjusted its priorities in light of the global pandemic.
Supporting the social, emotional, behavioral, and academic needs
of student included increasing access to meals and technology.
Over the course of school closure, BPS Food Services provided
more than 195,000 meals to students. Additionally, BPS
partnered with USDA for Farm to Families providing 780 farmer’s
market style boxes of fresh produce every week. The Barnstable
Teachers’ Association led weekly food donations to support the
needs of families.
When BPS schools closed on March 13, 2020 due to
COVID-19, school and district technology staff worked to get
laptops to all students. Close to 5,000 students received
Chromebooks and iPads to engage in online learning. Schools
pivoted to remote learning and student support. Families and
students were surveyed on a regular basis to determine how
students were engaging in online learning, and to seek feedback
from families on ways BPS could improve the experiences of
students.
FY21 PRIORITIES
Reopening schools to in-person learning for School Year
2020-21 was the key priority for FY 21. Strategic use of the BPS
Operating Budget, along with supplemental state and federal
funding provided necessary staffing, technology, materials,
personal protective equipment, and operational items to safely
reopen schools. Dedicated stakeholders spent countless hours to
develop reopening scenarios and recommendations. On
September 16, 2020, Barnstable Public Schools reopened with
three learning models - in-person, hybrid and remote. By October
13, BPS was able to provide students with in-person learning in
alignment with its reopening plan.
Each school spent the first six weeks of
school focusing on building
relationships with students. This
included using positive teacher
language to establish high academic
and behavioral expectations, getting
students excited about schoolwork by
offering engaging academics, and
teaching the classroom and academic
routines that enable a collaborative
learning environment to thrive.

Science; Law, Society and Criminal Justice; Health
Careers; Culinary Arts and Hospitality; and Early
Education & Care. Through its partnership with
Cape Cod Community College, many BPS students
earn college credit through dual enrollment
courses that align with career pathway interest.
Career awareness and pathways are not limited to students in Barnstable High School.
Barnstable Intermediate School is the recipient of a 3-year grant from American Student
Assistance to incorporate career exploration at
the middle school level. BHS Career Ambassadors
have been established to introduce 6th and 7th
grade students to the high school pathways,
internships, and other opportunities in their near
future. The results of this work are evident as 126
of the 358 6th grade students showed interest in
taking part in a new 7th grade elective,
Pathfinder, that was developed to provide a
deeper dive into career exploration during the 2020-2021 school year.
In September 2019, the Barnstable Community Innovation School (BCIS) opened its
doors to students. Located at the former BCHMCPS site, BCIS is a school of choice,
where families from all seven villages of Barnstable can enter a lottery for enrollment.
BCIS implements Project Based Learning to provide enrichment opportunities for all,
and cultivates community connections through Enrichment Clusters, a community
garden, and community service projects.
Responding to the Global Pandemic
BPS adjusted its priorities in light of the global pandemic. Supporting the social,
emotional, behavioral, and academic needs of student
included increasing access to meals and technology. Over
the course of school closure, BPS Food Services provided
more than 195,000 meals to students. Additionally, BPS
partnered with USDA for Farm to Families providing 780
farmer’s market style boxes of fresh produce every week.
The Barnstable Teachers’ Association led weekly food
donations to support the needs of families.
When BPS schools closed on March 13, 2020 due to COVID-19, school and district
technology staff worked to get laptops to all students. Close to 5,000 students received
Chromebooks and iPads to engage in online learning. Schools pivoted to remote
learning and student support. Families and students were surveyed on a regular basis to
determine how students were engaging in online learning, and to seek feedback from
families on ways BPS could improve the experiences of students.
FY21 Priorities
Reopening schools to in-person learning for School Year 2020-21 was the key priority for
FY 21. Strategic use of the BPS Operating Budget, along with
supplemental state and federal funding provided necessary
staffing, technology, materials, personal protective equipment,
and operational items to safely reopen schools. Dedicated
stakeholders spent countless hours to develop reopening
scenarios and recommendations. On September 16, 2020,
Barnstable Public Schools reopened with three learning models -
in-person, hybrid and remote. By October 13, BPS was able to
provide students with in-person learning in alignment with its
reopening plan. Each school spent the first six weeks of school
focusing on building relationships with students. This included using positive teacher
language to establish high academic and behavioral expectations, getting students
excited about schoolwork by offering engaging academics, and teaching the classroom
and academic routines that enable a collaborative learning environment to thrive.

194 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE
Barnstable High School CLASS OF 2020
196 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
Cape Cod Regional Technical High School was
established in 1973 as a public technical high school. Cape
Cod Tech students meet the same academic standards required
by the state as our sending schools while also meeting
certification standards of their technical training.
District Towns: Barnstable, Brewster, Chatham, Dennis,
Eastham, Harwich, Mashpee, Orleans, Provincetown, Truro,
Wellfleet, Yarmouth
Mission Statement: Cape Cod Regional Technical High
School will provide an opportunity to acquire high quality
technical, academic, and social skills preparing our students for
success in our changing world.
Enrollment: For school year 2019-2020, the enrollment on
October 1 was 616 students.
Budget: For school year 2019-20 (FY20) there was a Total
Budget of $15,087,000.
Formulation of the annual budget and town assessments
are based on the previous school year’s October 1 enrollment.
News from Superintendent Sanborn: Often educators are
told to begin with the end in mind. Cape Cod Tech could not
have envisioned ending the 2019-2020 school with a
commencement at the Wellfleet Drive-In. With extreme
gratitude to the Vincent family, Cape Cod Tech’s class of 2020
celebrated their graduation in an unforgettable setting. The
school year was a trying one for obvious reasons. I could not
have been prouder of our entire staff’s response to adversity in
transitioning to a remote student learning model for education
while simultaneously preparing to move into our new building.
I must reiterate to the taxpayers of our twelve towns how
grateful we are for your funding our new school which we
moved into in August. THANK YOU! We cannot wait for
the days when masks and social distancing are no longer, so we
can invite you to see the new Cape Cod Regional Technical
High School which has been realigned for next year due to the
coronavirus. Currently, we have our technical students in
100% of the time while academic students attend 50% of the
time with remote instruction every other day. Our new
gymnasium serves as an additional cafeteria to allow for a safe
student lunchroom environment during COVID and all
classrooms maintain at least six feet of social distancing for
staff and students. Additionally, our academy model was put
on hold for one year due to the establishment of student
cohorts which decreased student circulation throughout the
building for safety as well. We do hope to return to normalcy
at one point in the future but for now our whole community is
making the best of the “new” normal. We have shared a few
photos and more interactive photos are available at our virtual
tour created for prospective students at: https://www.capetech.
us/cape-tech-night.
Town of Barnstable: The Town of Barnstable had one
hundred and ninety-five (195) students enrolled at Cape Cod
Tech as of October 1, 2019. The assessment for Barnstable was
$3,732,534 based on one hundred seventy-six (176) students
for October 1, 2018.
Highlights from Cape Cod Tech 2019-20 School Year
• Graduated 142 seniors in 2020, forty-eight (48) from

possible 1000 points; and “top honors” by the All New
England Award for newspapers with a student population
between 500 to 1000. Congratulations to the fourteen
(14) student journalists of 2019-2020; five (5) students

academic and employability skills. Forty-eight (48)
students participated in the Massachusetts District
CAPE COD REGIONAL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT 2019-2020
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 197
competition and won eight (8) medals. Cape Cod Tech
had 14 students attend the SkillsUSA Leadership
Convention. The state competitions were cancelled due
to COVID-19, disappointing the 70 Cape Cod Tech
students anticipated to attend.
• “FFA” (Future Farmers of America) is a national career
and technical student organization based on middle and
high school classes that promote and support agricultural
education. This year a team of four Cape Cod Tech
students, two from Barnstable, placed second at the
Regional Nursery Landscape competition qualifying the
team to participate at the National Nursery Landscape
Convention vying against 200 participants across the
country. The team brought home both gold and silver
medals earning top marks for Cape Cod Tech. The Spring
Competition was cancelled due to COVID-19.
• The Cooperative Education (Co-Op) program placed a
total of 20 junior and 41 senior students to work with
local businesses, enhancing their skills through Co-Op
placements and seven (7) internships placed in their fields
of Health Technologies and Dental Assisting.
• The Athletic Department offered a “no-cut, no-fee”
program in which all students can participate without
fees. The following sports were offered: baseball,
basketball, cheerleading, cross-country, football, golf,
hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball.
Technical Highlights from 2019-20
• All shop programs used the new school building (under
construction) as an opportunity for student involvement
in the design to upgrade their shops to 21st century
industry standards.
• For all shop programs, there were fewer jobs completed for
the public due to the closing of school buildings in March
of this year related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
• The Auto Collision program completed 80 jobs resulting
in approximately $40,000 savings to the community and
fostered positive relationships with local businesses to
improve future student placements.
• The Auto Technology program purchased new engines to
enhance the 10th grade curriculum significantly
increasing engine repair knowledge, as well as new
transmissions to increase transmission knowledge.
• The Carpentry Department increased their non-
traditional student enrollment to include five females.
Four students were placed in Co-Op placements. The
Carpentry Program Advisory Board was strengthened with
additional industry leaders.
• The Cosmetology program implemented a new salon
shadowing program for students to better expose them to
careers in the field. Community service projects, Mannies
for Nannies and The Wig Bank, were a great success.
• Culinary Arts maintained a perfect 100% score on
multiple annual food service inspections by both the town
of Harwich and Barnstable County. This is due to the
Serv-Safe training and testing that all culinary students
have taken and passed for certification.
• Dental Assisting students participated in activities such as
TECH night and SkillsUSA. They have a robust
community service presence going out to preschools,
Angel House, and veterans’ centers. Five (5) students
participated in district SkillsUSA competitions with six
(6) intending to compete at State level prior to its
cancellation.
• The Design & Visual Communications program was at
maximum capacity with the new freshman class. This
program received honorable mention at the Boston Globe
Scholastic Awards this year. Students were involved in
the community helping with design needs as well as
providing a service to the school with designs for school
events.
• The Electrical Department over-achieved for shop
attendance this year. All sophomores received OSHA 10
Construction Training. Non-traditional student
enrollment was doubled from the previous year for female
students.
• The Engineering Technology Shop incorporated many
certificate programs in engineering software very
successfully including a dual enrollment class with Cape
Cod Community College. This shop participated in the
Co-Op program for the first time this year and placed four
seniors into local jobs in their field.
• The Health Technologies students were very busy passing
the Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers, OSHA
Training, gaining experience at Pleasant Bay Nursing
Home, holding blood drives, teaching preschool children
about healthcare and assisting homeless veterans.
• The Horticulture program has taken over the
responsibilities for grounds maintenance for the second
year which provides hands-on training for their students
CAPE COD REGIONAL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT
198 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
while saving the district time and money. Focus on the
national FFA competitions provides skill-building, student
learning and leadership opportunities for these students.
• The HVAC program consistently achieved a 95%
attendance rate throughout the year; had 16 students
participate in the SkillsUSA District competition;
maintained 85% of juniors and seniors in Co-Op
placements, and achieved OSHA Certification with all 10
sophomores.
• Marine Services continued its work with Yamaha Motor
Corporation providing training materials and
certifications for students. Relationships with local marine
businesses have benefited from the six students working in
Co-Op placements.
• The Information Technology Program offered its first
Advanced Placement course: Computer Science
Principles. Juniors earned certifications in Network Pro
and seniors in Security Pro. Students had opportunities
with the Yarmouth Community Center to demonstrate
their talents. This shop program actively competes in a
team sport, “eSports”.
• The Plumbing Shop incorporated 21st century skills to
keep students current with industry trends, such as
teaching proper methods of Mega and Propress methods
that are vital to our students’ success in this industry.
Students were active in SkillsUSA and Co-Op programs.
Academic Highlights from 2019-20
• The Business Education/21st Century Learning
department reconfigured their employability skills panel
to take place on Google Meet, and forged ahead using the
remote learning model.
• The English Department continued to integrate MCAS
Next Gen writing into the curriculum using the MCAS
Next Gen Writing Rubric. The Department adjusted
student expectations and criteria for success for this kind
of writing in response to 2019 MCAS data. All students
passed the ELA Next-Generation MCAS by November
2019 retest.
• The Social Studies standards were revised for 2019 and the
Social Studies Department has implemented those
changes. They were able to implement the new US
History frameworks remotely and effectively. Advanced
Placement (AP) students had the highest passing rate in
the history of the program and the most overall students
(13) passing the exams.
• The Math Department implemented a new Honors track
for 9th grade Honors Algebra/Geometry. Pre-Calculus and
Calculus classes were successfully implemented.
Technology-based instruction and assessment were
integrated into the curriculum.
• The Science Department is developing Biology
Curriculum for the ninth and tenth grades that will
prepare students for the Spring Biology MCAS
assessments. Though MCAS exams were waived by the
Governor because of the COVID-19 pandemic, results
from 2019 were useful to identify areas of need for a more
in-depth curriculum.
• Special Education was using Google Classroom before the
COVID-19 pandemic, but remote learning has certainly
made us all proficient in our use of technology with
students.
• The Student Services Department created a District
Curriculum Accommodation Plan (DCAP). The
department not only engaged students in their post-
secondary plans, scholarships/toolships applications,
participated with local Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs for
student recognition awards, but they pulled off the most
amazing graduation ceremony for the class of 2020 at the
Wellfleet Drive-In and supported underclass students
throughout the summer to successfully complete the
school year courses that were interrupted by the COVID-
19 pandemic.

NURTURING THE HEARTS & MINDS OF THE COMMUNITY
As a center of community life, the
Centerville Public Library encourages
and supports civic, intellectual and
cultural pursuits. It provides a wide range
of information and materials to people of
all ages, using traditional methods and
innovative technology. The Library strives
to adapt to the changing needs of the
community. Its welcoming environment
stimulates thinking, enhances knowledge
of the world and improves the quality
of leisure time. The Library educates the
community to understand, appreciate
and financially support its relevance.

• The Trustees sponsored successful fundraising events including the annual
Greens Sale, and the Brick Memorial Walkway project. These events, and
sales of items such as: the Centerville coloring book, 150th Anniversary
library book bags, and book sales from the Alice Owen Williams Book Store
contributed critical funds to support the annual operating expenditures of
the library.
• Though our most critical fundraisers were canceled, we applied for and
received several grants to help supplement our operating budget.
• In FY20, the Library was pleased to welcome new Board member Andrea
Wood, new Director Victoria Allard, and the new Youth Services Director
Megan McClelland.
• In late FY20, the challenges of a worldwide pandemic offered an opportunity
to evaluate library operations in order to maximize the effectiveness of our
services. The library created a curbside service model to ensure the safety of
our staff and patrons.
• While our building was closed due to the pandemic, the library maintained
a very close connection with the community by continuing to offer essential
services. We provided delivery to homebound patrons, access to 24/7 Wi-Fi,
quality virtual programming, technical support for digital literacy, reference
services, and access to books, movies, and other materials that helped people
cope during this incredibly stressful time. In addition, an open-air bookstore
was created for patrons to browse and purchase used books, DVDs, CDs and
Puzzles.
FUTURE INITIATIVES:
• Adopt post-pandemic strategies and best practices to continue to offer the
best quality service to the community while keeping the safety of our staff
and patrons in mind.
• Continue to examine our fundraising efforts and explore new directions for
funding sources.
• Continue to investigate opportunities for new relationships and
collaboration within the community.
• Expand our services to children, families, and older adults to support lifelong
learning opportunities.
• Conduct an extensive collection management evaluation to better meet
the needs and preferences of all user groups. We will further develop our
collection of eBooks, e-Audiobooks, and Low Vision collections including
Large Print Books and Audiobooks due to increased demand.

safeguards. The video was also featured on the Massachusetts Board of
Library Commissioners website as a model for others to follow.
• It was not a race but a call to service for our community. Proactive
planning and preparation enabled our library to open on the first day

Sandwich to Provincetown and raised over $13,000.
• Kirkland Trust Summer Concert Series: July through August each week
featured a different genre of music enjoyed by families and friends;
• OVL hosted the 1st Human Library on Cape Cod. The Human Library
challenges stereotypes and prejudices through dialogue. It is a place
where people are books on loan to readers for a discussion. It aims to
address people's prejudices by helping them to talk to those they would
not normally meet. This event was a huge success and highly acclaimed.
• OVL led a Veteran’s Day walk through the village. We visited the
monuments and talked about the people behind them. Local historian
Paul Chesbro shared many recollections of the heroes and their families.
• When required to close in March 2020 due to the pandemic, OVL put
carts of children’s and adult’s books from our used bookstore on the
sidewalk in front of the library for people to take as part of our “One-
Way Book Giveaway”; thousands were given away!

to town information, trustworthy COVID information, along with
interviews, local places to eat and how to get help.
• The library donated all of the filament from our 3D printer to Cape Cod
Makers in support of their efforts in making face shields. Our sewing

need of crucial documents during the state mandated shutdown.

PRESERVING
CAPE COD HISTORY
A historic public library in the village
of Barnstable, is dedicated to providing
services and resources to meet the
needs of a contemporary community
while preserving and promoting
Cape Cod history.
MISSION STATEMENT
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
• Sturgis Library was awarded a number of special grants to en-
hance library programs and services to the community:
• The Arts Foundation of Cape Cod awarded the Library a
grant to fund a workshop in writing Flash Fiction.
• The Kirkman Trust Fund of the Town of Barnstable granted
us funds for the purchase of books, ebooks, and technology.
• The Cobb Trust granted the Library funding for the purchase
of library materials for the Summer Reading Program.
• Our stone retaining wall was completed, and now protects the
building from the eroding hillside.
• The exterior of the building was repainted.
• In the summer of 2019, we held a very popular Kurt Vonnegut
Reading Marathon and related events over a long weekend. The
weekend included a lecture at Tales of Cape Cod by Vonnegut’s
daughter Edie, a day-long marathon reading of Slaughterhouse-
Five, a cocktail party, a doodling workshop, a panel discussion,
and a Chowderfest.
• We said farewell to Assistant Director Karen Horn. Adult
Services/Reference Librarian Corey Farrenkopf was appointed
the new Assistant Director. We welcomed new Youth Services
Librarian Christy Munier and new Bookkeeper Polly Brazelton.
• The Library provided notary services to dozens of visitors
throughout the year.
• We participated in the Cape-wide Hydrangea Festival in July
of 2019, featuring three local gardens. We are grateful to our
dedicated gardeners for opening their grounds for us to enjoy.
• Prior to the pandemic, the Library sponsored many programs,
exhibits, and events for adults, young adults, and children,
including lectures, music and craft programs, writing workshops,
sales of books, music, jewelry, plants and more, storytime, Lego
Club, and other well-attended programs and events. We offered
two sold-out Behind the Scenes Tours of the Library. We held
our first ever Winter Solstice Celebration, which was attended
by over 150 people of all ages. Together with the six other
Barnstable village libraries, the Library participated in the 2019
collaborative Summer Reading Program.
• In March of 2020 the Library closed to the public due to the
pandemic. All programs and events were cancelled for several
months. In May we resumed programming online using Zoom.
On May 18th, we began offering curbside pickup of library ma-
terials, and offered children and their families a storywalk in the
front yard, as well as a takeaway craft each week. Visitors could
shop at our ongoing plant sale and our Fresh Air Book Sale. We
offered a Seeds By Mail Program which was a huge hit.
• The Library said goodbye to Board members Jeanie Hill, Suzy
Genest, and Greg Williams. We welcomed new Board members
Lindy Coggeshall, Jenn Mullin, and Steve Whitmore.
• Sturgis Library is grateful to its hardworking staff, Board of Trust-
ees, volunteers, and most of all its library patrons and visitors,
who support us throughout the year. The success of Sturgis Li-
brary is due to the people who enter its doors – to visit, to relax
and read, do research, check out library materials, attend events,
or to share a part of themselves with us. Many, many thanks.

MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
In August of 2019, Whelden said goodbye to our much
appreciated Director, Victoria Allard. Victoria became the new
Director of the Centerville Library. In October of 2019, the new
Director Search was completed with the hiring of West
Barnstable resident, Kelly Depin.
Even though it occupied only four months of the fiscal year,
COVID-19 and its attendant problems took over much of the
time and energy of both Director and Staff. Through careful
planning and use of the CPC loan, we were able to retain our
staff on payroll at their regular salaries helping to prevent fiscal
hardship with their families.
While the building was closed, the Director came in and
was available for assistance to patrons and the general public.
She was able to direct patrons to the massive digital resources
available to them, providing technical instruction over the
phone. We were also able to expand our digital footprint, adding
at home access to popular databases provided by Whelden.
We opened for curbside the last week of May and have
continued to provide excellent customer service to the public.
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.
However, after March of 2020, in-person fundraising events have
been greatly curtailed.
An older building requires tender, loving care and watchful
stewardship. This year we waterproofed the basement area,
including the original foundation built by the citizens of West
Barnstable.
The library offered 209 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 WCAI.
Whelden Memorial Library continues to offer an excellent
customer service experience for our patrons. Being a small
library, we are able to know our patrons as people and provide
them with unparalleled reader’s advisory. Our tagline is “Small
but Mighty”
We have an active children’s program with weekly story
hours, monthly family movies and other programs designed to
increase literacy in all realms. With COVID, we have expanded
into digital story times offered over FaceTime.
The trustees and the Director continue to work on our
mission so that we can create an updated strategic plan to ensure
Whelden Library’s existence into the future.

INFORMATION
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 209
The Communications Program has many tools in our
toolbox for reaching citizens, businesses, employees and the
general public. These tools include a combination of digital
and traditional; websites, press releases, legal notices, CodeRED
alerts (email, phone, text) weekly subscriber based email
newsletter, video and imaged based public service
announcements (PSA's), traditional TV Channel 18 or On
Demand Video, social media (YouTube, Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram) and traditional distribution channels through local
organizations and the press. Engaging our stakeholders with
timely, tailored and educational content helps, on the
communication platform of their choice, conveys our Town’s
commitment to the quality of life in Barnstable as addressed in
the Town Council’s 2020 Strategic Plan.
GOVERNMENT ACCESS TELEVISION
Meetings & More
Channel 18 is the Town of Barnstable’s government access
television station. Meetings are Channel 18’s main charge and
the most important aspect of what we do. Our focus continues
to be on the over 40 board, committee, and commission
meetings that are held monthly. In March of 2020, the COVID-
19 global pandemic brought the need to incorporate new
technologies and our meetings were held by Zoom in order to
keep the business of Barnstable in motion. Channel 18 has an
informational bulletin board that provides viewers with up-to-
date information on a variety of topics. Channel 18 plays a big
role in producing content that is shared in a variety of ways
beyond television. We have streaming and video on demand
capabilities on the Town’s website. Channel 18 also produces
content that is distributed digitally.
Content That Matters
Channel 18 produces content to provide information in
various forms through: a documentary unit – that creates
episodic documentary series that explore the Town’s history, our
creative spirit and to provide a behind the scenes look at our
departments; a PSA (Public Service Announcement) unit –
creates short interstitial pieces (30-90 seconds) – serving as
“commercials” during programming blocks – similar to the
information displayed on the Channel 18’s slideshow; a current
event unit – provides the public with information and events as
they happen live via social media videography, photography,
and in-studio broadcasts; and a studio unit – utilizes the studio
facilities to record in-depth interviews and upcoming town
initiatives that lend themselves to longer conversations.

important programs that will affect our future, a website was
created for all things water in the Town. The Comprehensive
Wastewater Management Plan is a town-wide plan to protect
Barnstable’s coastal waters, ponds and drinking water by
managing nutrient pollution from wastewater. To accomplish
this, the plan calls for an expansion of the Town’s wastewater
infrastructure (sewers) as well as other innovative and nature-
based approaches such as inlet dredging, cranberry bog
conversions and use of nitrogen removing septic systems.

The need for up-to-date information during a global
pandemic prompted the need for a new website dedicated to
providing vetted information in a rapidly changing landscape.
