Robert “Bob” L. O’Brien
February 8, 1927 - September 25, 2020
Former Town of Barnstable DPW Superintendent and
Special Assistant to the Town Manager Bob O’Brien
passed away on September 25, 2020. Bob lived a life of
public service. He had a long and distinguished career
with the Coast Guard where he steadily moved up in the
ranks from Ensign to Captain and retired in 1981. A
graduate of Boston College, he served as a USCG
Seaman in WWII. Bob’s last post before retiring in 1981
was that of chief of staff and deputy commander of the
USCG’s First District, the New England District. His responsibilities included supervising
district staff and major field activities such as search and rescue, commercial vessel safety and
various other responsibilities. He was also deputy director of reserve personnel, chief plans
and programs officer and chief budget officer during a 23-year land career that followed
service as commanding officer aboard various Coast Guard
cutters. Immediately following his retirement, Bob
accepted a position as Supervisory Administrative
Assistant of DPW for the Town of Barnstable. He was
promoted to DPW Superintendent and after a few years
decided he would prefer to spend more time with his
family and requested that he transfer to the job of
Assistant DPW Superintendent. He retired from the Town
of Barnstable in 1999 and was hired in 2000 as Special
Assistant to the Town Manager and ultimately retired from
the Town of Barnstable in 2018. Bob played a critical role
in all aspects of the local government in the Town of
Barnstable including its organizational structure, financial management and emergency
response program, to name of few areas. Bob served on the Steamship Authority Board of
Governors for the Town of Barnstable, and as Board chairman for some of those years for 25
years, until 2016. He was instrumental in the transformation of the Steamship Authority fleet
including vessel construction, vessel modification and refurbishment projects. Bob also played
a critical role in the Authority’s capital projects in Hyannis, including reconstruction of the
Hyannis terminal and slip improvements. Bob served on the Barnstable Municipal Airport
Commission board for 13 years and retired in 2017. Bob was a charter member of the Coast
Guard Heritage Museum in Barnstable, MA which opened in 2005. Pictured above Bob
O’Brien with now Town Manager Mark Ells on July 19, 2010 at the groundbreaking ceremony for the
new terminal and tower at Barnstable Municipal Airport and with his beloved late wife Susie on at the
June 10, 2016 Commissioning of the Steamship Authority’s M/V Woods Hole.
In Memoriam
2 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
Gary R. Brown
March 16, 1946 - October 15, 2020
A native son, Gary Brown was born in 1946. He received his
Associate’s degree from Cape Cod Community College and
his BA in Political Science from Boston State Teachers
College. A member of the 82nd Airborne, Gary was awarded
the Bronze Star during his tour in Vietnam. A member of the
VFW, American Legion and Cape Cod Salties, Gary worked
tirelessly for our veterans and the protection of his beloved
Cape Cod. He was proud of the work accomplished during his
tenure on the Barnstable Town Council. Gary served on the
Town Council from November 1997 to November 2007. During that time, Gary served as Town
Council President from 2003 to 2005. In June of 2008, the Lewis Bay Boat Ramp was renamed
the Gary R. Brown Boat Ramp. An avid fisherman, Capt. Brown provided fishing reports on
Barnstable Channel 18’s “Barnstable This Morning.” He was always quick with a joke and more
thrilled with a buddy’s prize catch than his own. Fair Winds and Tight Lines, Capt. Brown.
Dr. Edward Tynan
August 14, 1936 – October 24, 2020
Barnstable Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Meg Mayo-Brown shared
the following:
I am saddened to share that last weekend retired superintendent, Dr. Ed
Tynan, passed away. Ed served the students, staff and families of
Barnstable Public Schools for 26 years, and was Superintendent for 21 of
those years. Ed is fondly remembered by all those who had the pleasure
of working with him. He also served as past President of the
Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents and was described
as "... a very special person in the way he worked with people, especially the teachers and administrators of
Barnstable along with his superintendent-colleagues. Ed was maybe retired but maintained a careful eye on the
issues and problems of today’s superintendents and all educators. If you talked to Ed on a call or meeting with
him, the great stories about his daughters and sons highlighted the conversation. "
For those that did not have the opportunity to know or work with Ed, his sense of humor, and
love of family, education and community, is evident by reading the words of his obituary. We
offer Ed's family our collective condolences, and gratitude for his service and love of Barnstable
schools.
Sincerely,
Meg Scott F. Dutra
June 7, 1958-December 7, 2020
We were saddened by the sudden passing of Veteran Service
Officer Scott Dutra on December 7, 2020. Scott was raised in
Osterville, MA. He joined the Air Force and retired honorably
after 20 years of service. After returning to Cape Cod to care
for his family, he worked for the Town of Barnstable as a
Veteran Service Officer for 10 years helping veterans and their
families. Scott was a pillar in the community, Board member
of the Massachusetts Veteran Service Officers Association,
organizer of local Veteran parades and events, and part of
worship teams across Cape Cod in various local churches.
Scott will be deeply missed.

TOWN COUNCIL’S QUALITY OF LIFE
STRATEGIC PLAN
Shaped like a wheel, the strategic plan diagram shows
Quality of Life at the hub, surrounded by seven priority
areas: Economic Development, Regulatory Process and
Performance, Housing, Public Health and Safety,
Environment and Natural Resources, Infrastructure, and
Education. These areas function like lug nuts, securing a
high quality of life for Barnstable residents regardless of
circumstances beyond their control (or “bumps in the
road”). Finance and Communication support and protect
the wheel like tires – if they deflate, any or all areas may be
compromised.
Finance – Provide a viable financial plan for meeting
the operational and capital needs of the town with a
balanced budget that includes ongoing cost reductions,
maintaining reserves, and aggressively pursuing new growth
dollars and revenue sources.
Communications – Improve communication between
the Town Council and Town Manager and his staff; between
Town Councilors; between the Town and its residents,
boards, commissions, volunteers and visitors to foster
participation and positive results that are geared toward
meeting the needs of the community.
Economic Development – Town Council and Town
Manager to support and grow a vibrant economy with a
diversity of businesses, both for-profit and non-profit, and a
strong labor force.
BARNSTABLE TOWN COUNCIL
It has been stated that the local government is Democracy at work.
The Barnstable Town Council exemplifies this by putting the concerns of
the public first. Whatever we do is of, by, and for the people of
Barnstable. Our achievements reflect the hard work of the Council, the
Town Manager and Staff, and the many committees, boards, and
commissions. 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.

Town of Barnstable Presented with the
Presidential Citation from the Republic of Korea
On October 19, 2020 a ceremony was held at the Korean War Memorial, located at
Veteran’s Park Beach, to recognize the Town of Barnstable for its longstanding support of
Cape Cod’s Korean War Veterans.
Commander Roy Thomas of the Cape Cod Chapter of the Korean War Veterans
Association (KWVA) stated that the KWVA nominated the Town of Barnstable for the
award “because of the critical support of Korean War Veterans on Cape Cod rendered by the
Town in giving choice waterfront real estate for the location of the Korean War Memorial
and for doubling the value of a fund in its custody for the perpetual upkeep of the
monument.” Presenting the Presidential Citation on behalf of the President of the Republic
of Korea, Consul General Yonghyon Kim conveyed his warmest greetings to the people of
Barnstable and noted that this year marks the 70th anniversary since the outbreak of the
Korean War. He shared that “the Presidential Citation was being awarded to the Town of
Barnstable to recognize its outstanding endeavors to honor Korean War Veterans by
providing a space for the memorial, for their excellent association with the KWVA, and for
the immaculate management of the memorial. By doing so the Town has greatly contributed
to the public education of the Korean War, the importance of freedom and peace, and to
remembering the war heroes.” In accepting the Presidential Citation from Consul General
Kim, Town Council President Paul Hebert shared that it was a tremendous honor for the
Town to receive such a prestigious award and expressed his hope “that deep in our hearts
someday there will be absolute peace between the two countries of Korea.”

As we navigate the COVID-19 global pandemic there
are a number of words and phrases that we have heard over

new normal” clearly defines where we are and where we are
headed in the future. Since the start of the pandemic, the
Town of Barnstable has followed and continues to follow the
Orders and Directives of the Governor. Governor Charlie
Baker, Lt. Governor Karyn Polito, and their public health
advisors and COVID-19 Task Force have created Governor
Baker’s 4-Phase Reopening Plan.
The Town of Barnstable has dedicated employees who
are passionate about their work and who continuously strive
to maintain excellence in service delivery while expanding
upon the type, number and variety of programs offered to
residents of and visitors. This has never been more evident
than during the COVID-19 pandemic, with staff across all of
our departments and divisions having to implement new ways
to provide contactless service delivery while our facilities
were closed to the public per state guidelines and then
ensuring strict adherence to state protocols once our facilities
were allowed to reopen to the public. I am proud of our
employees for their outstanding commitment to serving our
community by overcoming significant challenges to find
opportunities that benefited our residents and visitors.
It became clear early on that there was a need for
contactless service in switching to remote meetings through
Zoom, providing our beach stickers and transfer station
stickers as well as online permitting for the many services
provided in our Building, Marine & Environmental Affairs,
and Town Clerk offices. Senior managers have met twice a
week since March of 2020 to ensure the business of the Town
of Barnstable remained on course. Our Information
Technology Department met the technology needs of a
remote workforce in an effective and exceptional manner.

Town of Barnstable Opened Lane on Hyannis Main Street
for Pedestrians and Outdoor Business Use
The Town of Barnstable looked forward to safely
welcoming residents and visitors to Hyannis Main Street in
the summer of 2020. 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. The lane closure began prior to
Barnstable Road and extended to Sea Street and remained in
place through the summer. The Town of Barnstable is
committed to promoting public health and safety and to
supporting the small businesses that make Hyannis Main
Street unique and vibrant. 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 was 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.
Town of Barnstable Economic Recovery Planning
Town of Barnstable staff continues to work to help our
businesses reopen successfully, recover from this crisis, and

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. Additionally, we
encouraged our businesses to take the Cape Cod
Commission’s online survey for Cape Cod business owners.
The survey was conducted to better understand the current
and anticipated economic impacts of COVID-19. Data
collected through this survey was used to support economic
recovery and was leveraged by businesses, towns, and other
organizations in future grant applications and reports.
New Law Allows for Voting By Mail
In July, a new law was passed to allow all registered
voters in Massachusetts to vote by mail in any 2020
election, with no excuse needed. As required by the new
law, a Vote by Mail application was mailed to every person
who was registered to vote by July 1 and who had not
already requested an absentee ballot for the State Primary or
for all elections this year. A second mailing was sent out in
September to all voters who had not already applied for a
Vote by Mail ballot for the November election. The Town

Barnstable residents who lost income due to the
coronavirus. He following programs were offered: RAFT
(Residential Assistance for Families in Transition) - This
state funded program provided payments to prevent
homelessness; ERMA (Emergency Rental and Mortgage
Assistance) - This state funded program provided rental or
mortgage payments to prevent homelessness; and Workforce
Housing Assistance Fund - Eligible clients could make up to
100% Area Median Income, and must not be eligible for
other state, federal or local relief.
The 2020 Federal Census
The Census Bureau abruptly decided to cut their
national counting operations a month short. This
announcement further jeopardized Congressional
representation, redistricting, and critical federal funding for
things like education, housing, food programs, and more in
the Town of Barnstable during the next 10 years. We
worked diligently to help get undercounted members of our
community counted during this difficult time when
traditional methods of communication were restricted due to
the pandemic.
Barnstable Designated a Housing Choice Community
Barnstable has been notified by the Governor that we
have been designated a Housing Choice community in 2020.
This is the second Housing Choice designation for
Barnstable. This designation recognizes Barnstable’s efforts to
support housing production over the past 5 years and has
several benefits including the opportunity to apply for
Housing Choice capital grants. Barnstable was previously
designated in 2018 and was awarded a $250,000 grant that
was used to upgrade a sewer line in downtown Hyannis
enabling new residential units access to public wastewater.
Vineyard Wind
We continued with regular conversations with Vineyard
Wind regarding the status of the Phase I and Phase II

and are proceeding with permitting on Phase II.
Barnstable DPW Receives Two Commonwealth of
Massachusetts Grants
The Town of Barnstable was awarded a 2020 MassTrails
Grant for the Cape Cod Rail Trail Phase 3 project. The
Town of Barnstable was awarded $180,950 for the design,
engineering, and permitting of phase 3 of the Cape Cod Rail
Trail, which will extend the current terminus of Peter Homer
Park in West Yarmouth to Mary Dunn Road in Barnstable.
The project was one of 94 proposals requesting over $8.8
million submitted during the grant application period. This
year, 54 projects will receive awards totaling $4 million. The
Town of Barnstable in partnership with the Association to
Preserve Cape Cod has been awarded a $173,255 Coastal
Zone Pollutant Remediation (CPR) Grant, which will be
used to construct stormwater green infrastructure to treat
runoff at South County Road through a nature-based
approach. This project builds on a multi-year effort by the
Town to improve water quality within the Three Bays
watershed, with a goal to improve water quality for coastal
habitat, swimming and shellfishing. This grant will continue
the efforts by the Town to treat stormwater runoff in the
critical Three Bays embayment and its recreational and
shellfishing activities. The CPR Grant Program seeks to
improve water quality and protect coastal habitats by
reducing or eliminating nonpoint sources of pollution, the
leading cause of water quality impairment in the nation. This
type of pollution primarily occurs when contaminants are
picked up by rain, snow melt and other flowing water and
carried over land, in groundwater or through drainage systems
to the nearest body of water and ultimately out to sea.

Barnstable Public Schools Fall Reopening Plan
The School Superintendent and I communicated daily
regarding community issues and specifically the current plan
for School Year 2020/2021. On August 14, Barnstable Public
Schools (BPS) submitted the Fall Reopening Plan to the
Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The
Plan, in its entirety, is available on the BPS website. The
2020-21 school calendar represents a phased-in reopening
with the following dates:
• School staff began on August 31.
• Students began September 16 with remote learning
until September 25.
• Students began in-person learning on September 28
(based on cohort assignments) on a reduced 4-hour
school day.
• Students began full implementation on in-person
learning on October 13.
The Superintendent continued to provide weekly video
updates to our BPS community. All updates are available on
the BPS website. On Monday, August 24 parents/guardians
received their child’s cohort assignments. Assignments were
based on the family survey that resulted in a 76% response
rate. Non-responders were assigned in-person by default. At
the time 960 students were identified for remote learning and
3,953 students were identified for in-person learning model.
In addition we met with our school department to ensure
that our youth programming is well coordinated and effective
in our continued efforts to offer safe programming for our
youth in Barnstable. The Superintendent kept staff and
families apprised of how things were progressing throughout
the school year including pivoting to remote learning when
the health metrics showed high rates of transmission in the
community.
Barnstable Public Schools (BPS) provided FREE
breakfast and lunch for any student free of charge. All meals
were offered in compliance with USDA standards and as a
“Grab and Go” option. The importance of social distancing
was stressed during meal pick up. Our BPS educators and staff
lead efforts to collect non-perishable food items for
distribution as well.
All Day Summer Fun Club
We received feedback from parents whose children
attended the All Day Summer Fun Club. Over six weeks, 92
children attended the program (past years 350-400 children)
to enjoy much-needed summer fun and good times with their
peers. Across all three sites we received a 9.8 out of 10 rating
and the comments we received expressed the gratitude our
families felt that our community was able to offer the
program this summer. Staff should be commended for their
extraordinary efforts, in particular Mickie Davies and her
team of counselors, who in addition to providing a fun and
engaging environment each day were responsible for
ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our participants during
this pandemic. Although this was a very different
experience than we have provided in past years, our kids
quickly adapted to the safety requirements and had fun in
the process. Our staff is approaching the coordinated youth
programming with our schools for this upcoming school year
with the same positive attitude. It is not a question of if we
will do it, but rather how we will do it.
Cape Cod & Islands Water Protection Fund
The Town Council appointed the Town Manager as its
representative on the Cape Cod & Islands Water Protection
Fund Board. The Bylaws and Regulations Subcommittee
met to approve draft regulations and forwarded to the full
Board for consideration and approval. The website for the
Board has been created by the Cape Cod Commission staff

Town of Barnstable Reaches Significant Milestone with
Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan
The Town of Barnstable reached another significant
milestone in efforts to clean up its inland and coastal waters
Mark S. Ells, Town Manager at New England States
Government Finance Officers Association Fall Conference.
TOWN MANAGER REPORT

by successfully completing state environmental review of
the Town’s Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan
(CWMP). The Certificate of completion was issued late
December 2020 by the Massachusetts Secretary of Energy
and Environmental Affairs Kathleen Theoharides states
that the Town’s CWMP “adequately and properly complies
with Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act’s (MEPA)
and its implementing regulations.” In sharing the news
with the Barnstable Town Council, Daniel Santos,
Department of Public Works Director, said, “The Certificate
from Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs is no
small matter. The fact that the regulatory agencies, and
there are many that participate in this review, were very
satisfied with our project is a major accomplishment and
will do us well in the implementation phase.” The Town of
Barnstable has made substantial strides toward improving
water quality in its inland and coastal waters. The Town
already has invested more than $30 million to reduce
nutrient levels in its estuaries, and this plan dramatically
speeds up the timeline on major projects, including
extending sewer service to nearly 12,000 properties, while
managing costs for taxpayers and limiting construction
disruptions for residents, businesses and visitors. The next
and final step in the approval of the CWMP was for the
Town to petition the Cape Cod Commission for a
Consistency Determination with the 208 Area Wide Water
Quality Management Plan, the regional framework to
restore embayment water quality on Cape Cod mandated
under the federal Clean Water Act. The 208 Consistency
Determination ensures that the CWMP is consistent with a
watershed-based approach to reduce or eliminate excess
nitrogen reaching coastal waters. We received that
determination and Director Santos provides the Town
Council with regular updates on the status of work on the
plan.
Citizen Forums Discussed Proposed
Sewer Assessment Ordinance
The health of Barnstable’s coastal
waters that is so vital to the Town’s
quality of life and local economy is at
risk. The primary source of the
problem is nitrogen pollution from
septic systems. Likewise, the Town’s
freshwater ponds and drinking water
supply are being degraded from
nutrients and pollutants from septic
systems, fertilizer, stormwater run-off
and other watershed sources. Building
wastewater infrastructure to reduce the
amount of these pollutants entering
water resources is necessary to protect
the environment, property values, local economy, and quality
of life. Fortunately, Barnstable is leading the way on clean
water solutions. Building on more than a decade of scientific
study and engineering design, the Town has put forward a
Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan (CWMP) to
protect coastal, inland and drinking water resources.
Barnstable’s plan has been rigorously reviewed and approved
by state environmental agencies. The Town’s plan calls for
sewers and other measures to be implemented over 30 years.
The Town has identified existing revenues to cover more
than half of this cost. A Sewer Assessment Ordinance was
proposed to finance a portion of the remaining cost. A series
of virtual public forums for the community were held so that
we could get to a final product that was approved by the
Town Council.
Town Responds to Conservation Law
Foundation Complaint
The Town of Barnstable was informed on February 16,
2021 that the Conservation Law Foundation (CLF) filed a
Clean Water Act complaint against the Town. CLF have not
yet served the complaint on the Town, and the litigation
process does not start until that happens. I issued the
following statement in response to that lawsuit:
“The Town of Barnstable is taking decisive and effective
action to improve water quality in our coastal waters, streams and
ponds. The Town’s Comprehensive Wastewater Management
Plan, recently approved by the Massachusetts Secretary of Energy
and Environmental Affairs, will fully achieve the nitrogen
reductions needed to meet Federal clean water standards. The
Town has already invested $30 million toward the first phase of
sewer construction needed to address this problem, and additional
construction is planned to begin later this year, including upgrades
to the Hyannis wastewater treatment plant. By the end of the
decade, sewer expansions will be in place to remove nearly half of
the nitrogen needed to protect our waters, with the remainder
completed in subsequent phases. Contrary to the CLF’s

allegations, the Town adheres to applicable environmental
requirements. It operates the Hyannis wastewater treatment plant
in full compliance with a Groundwater Discharge Permit issued to
the Town by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental
Protection. If CLF is seeking to change the manner in which the
plant is permitted, they need to take up that issue with state and
federal permitting agencies. Moreover, CLF’s actions could hinder
the Town’s current efforts to address the problem of nitrogen
pollution in our waters by diverting financial and staff resources
away from that work. Nitrogen pollution of the Cape’s waters is
a large-scale and costly problem. Barnstable is committed to
ensuring that we do all that we can to protect and restore the
health of our coastal waters, which are the lifeblood of our
economy and quality of life. We encourage CLF and others
concerned about this issue to support these efforts and work
together with us.” We will keep you advised through future
executive session as we progress through this legal matter.
Town of Barnstable and Hyannis Main Street Business
Improvement District Will Participate in the Local Rapid
Recovery Program through the Massachusetts Downtown
Initiative
The Town of Barnstable, together with the Hyannis
Main Street Business Improvement District (BID), was
awarded participation in the Local Rapid Recovery Program
from the Massachusetts Downtown Initiative (MDI) under
the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community
Development. This award provides technical assistance
tailored to the unique economic challenges and COVID-19
impacts that have affected downtowns and commercial
centers throughout Massachusetts. The focus of the program
is to understand the unique impacts of COVID-19 on
Barnstable businesses, particularly targeted to Downtown
Hyannis Businesses within and just outside of the BID area,
and to develop short-range, actionable projects that will help
drive business and economic recovery. Recommendations will
also be developed for longer-range actions that will foster
business resiliency and economic sustainability, including
recommendations for project-related investments that align
with existing public resources and the potential to leverage
additional resources from other partners and funders.
Opportunity to Become Complete Streets Community
The Planning and Development (P&D) Department, in
collaboration with the Department of Public Works, pursued
the opportunity to become a Complete Streets community.
The National Complete Streets Coalition was launched in
2004 and Massachusetts Department of Transportation
established funding for Complete Streets in 2014. Complete
Streets projects improve the quality of life for a community
by providing safe and accessible options for all travel modes
including walking, biking, transit and vehicles for people of
all ages and all abilities. The Policy reflects Barnstable’s
commitment to incorporate Complete Streets design
principles, whenever feasible, based on factors such as cost,
current and future need, and proximity to scenic, historic
and/or environmental features.
Rental Property Registration and Hotline
We reminded owners of rental properties that they are
required to register rental units with the Town of Barnstable
Health Division; this includes ALL rentals from annual to
summer to short-term. The requirement to register rental
properties has been in place here in Barnstable since 2006.
We were pleased to announce that property owners can now
register their properties on-line through our website. We are
also pleased to announce that we now have a short term
rental compliance hotline available for the public to submit
any complaints concerning short-term rental properties.
The hotline is available on-line through our Health
Division website or by phone 24 hours a day at 508-504-

Town of Barnstable Statement in Response to Second
Conservation Law Foundation Lawsuit
In response to a lawsuit filed by the Conservation Law
Foundation (CLF) on Wednesday, June 16, 2021, that
alleges that the Town of Barnstable has failed to comply
with the state regulations that apply to private septic
systems, the Town has provided the following statement.
"The Town of Barnstable has long prided itself on its
commitment to protecting the environment and the coastal waters
off Cape Cod. Despite the Town’s commitment, the
Conservation Law Foundation (“CLF”) has filed a lawsuit in
state court alleging that the Town has failed to comply with the
state regulations that apply to private septic systems. The Town
faithfully administers the Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection (MassDEP) regulations, but CLF’s
Mark S. Ells, Town Manager with Trust Fund Advisory
Committee and Library Directors.
TOWN MANAGER REPORT
22 2021 ANNUAL REPORT
lawsuit threatens to impose significant burdens on Barnstable’s
residents and businesses. Specifically, CLF requests an order
requiring most Barnstable property owners to pay for expensive
upgrades to their fully compliant septic systems. It also seeks an
order prohibiting the Town from approving most new septic
systems and prohibiting the Town from accepting a “passing
inspection report” for such systems. Together, these orders would
effectively stop new construction utilizing fully compliant septic
systems in Barnstable, and they would prevent the sale of most
properties in Barnstable with a septic system.
This new lawsuit follows a lawsuit that CLF filed
against the Town in federal court earlier this year. In that
complaint, CLF alleged that the Town’s fully permitted and
compliant Water Pollution Control Facility is violating the
federal Clean Water Act because treated wastewater from the
plant travels through groundwater and ultimately reaches, after
more than twenty years, coastal water off Cape Cod. If CLF
prevails in its federal lawsuit, the Town could be subject to
millions of dollars of penalties, attorney’s fees, and increased
wastewater management costs. In addition, nearly every septic
system on Cape Cod will be subject to the Clean Water Act,
and owners of septic systems will need to obtain a federal permit
or face lawsuits like CLF’s that threaten penalties totaling tens of
thousands of dollars per day.
The Town believes that CLF’s legal claims in these lawsuits
are meritless and intends to defend against them aggressively. As
Barnstable Town Manager Mark Ells commented, “we are
committed to doing everything in our power to preserve the health
of the waters surrounding the Cape. That is why we enforce the
state law for septic systems and why we have developed and
received regulatory approval for a Comprehensive Wastewater
Management Plan (CWMP) for the Town of Barnstable. The
CWMP is a plan to protect our waters by reducing the amount
of key nutrients like nitrogen that harm water quality in our
coastal estuaries. By implementing the CWMP, Barnstable will
achieve the nitrogen reduction called for in the Total Maximum
Daily Load documents developed by the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection and approved by the
federal Environmental Protection Agency for estuaries on the
Cape. CLF’s demands in these twin lawsuits exceed any
requirement of either state or federal law, disrupt Barnstable’s
plans to implement the CWMP, and carry the potential of
devastating economic impact on Barnstable’s residents and
businesses.”
Gearing Up for Summer 2021
Our public beaches officially opened for the summer
season on June 26th, with the hot temperatures over the
past week seeing many residents and visitors flock to our
beaches and ponds. Unfortunately, Barnstable has not been
immune to the lifeguard shortages that have impacted many
coastal communities throughout the nation. As a result, we
did not have lifeguards on duty at Hamblin’s Pond and Lake
Wequaquet. The Recreation Division issued over 20,000
beach parking permits, marking the most permits we have
ever sold prior to the 4th of July weekend, so we expected
this to be an extraordinarily busy season. We continued to
have Beach Safety Officers patrolling our beaches to ensure a
safe and positive experience for all beachgoers. Our online
permitting programming has worked very well for us this year
and we will continue to explore efficiencies in our permitting
procedures as we move forward. We instituted an additional
safety procedure at our beaches that during high wind
situations the use of umbrellas and tents will be suspended
until such time as the winds subside. This safety procedure
has been established on a daily basis depending on the
weather much like the no floatation devises prohibition when
there is an offshore breeze. I want to say thank you to all our
aquatic and beach permit staff for their efforts and to the
public for their continued patience and understanding as we
adapt to new policies and procedures.
We could not accomplish our financial and operational
objectives without dedicated town and school employees. Our
employees have given their all again this year continuing to
provide a broad range of public services in these
unprecedented times. In addition to what they have routinely
provided in the form of public services they have managed
the distribution of vaccinations, organized and operated
COVID -19 testing locations, implemented new election
procedures offering our community a safe and secure elections
process that protected the integrity in our elections, modified
operational workspace to create a safe working environment,
transitioned most permit applications to include a safe,
on-line payment option and established effective remote
workforces. Our schools were faced with some of the most
significant challenges. Our elementary schools have been
providing a safe, in-person learning option for most of the
school year and hybrid learning environments have been
established throughout the district offering students and
parents options for their child’s education during the public
health emergency. The School Committee, School
Superintendent, and staff have done an extraordinary job in
advancing excellence in our school system and responding to
the COVID-19 situation. We are grateful to our fire and
water district professionals as they work to preserve and
protect our health and safety during the pandemic taking a
lead role in partnering with town officials to address the
pandemic. Respectfully submitted,

POLICING IN THE NEW NORMAL
Since March of 2020 no aspect of our lives remains untouched
or changed by COVID-19. We have adapted to working
remotely, running Zoom meetings, having a mask handy, and
ever changing quarantine protocols.
Although it may not feel as restrictive as the early days of the
pandemic, the men and women of the Barnstable Police
Department are still finding ways to navigate this new ‘normal’
and provide effective emergency and routine services every day.
Our 911 call center remains staffed, our records clerks and
administrative staff keep processing records and licensing
requests, and our officers are responding to your calls for
service without missing a beat.
COVID-19 may be continuing to touch our lives, but it will
never change our commitment to serving the community.
Thank you to all of the men and women of the Barnstable
Police Department for your continued professionalism and
service.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
36 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE
Description of Services:
Roadway Maintenance Program Description. The
roadway maintenance program is responsible for 250 miles
of town roads, 70 miles of town sidewalks, 4 miles of bike
paths, 74 town parking lots, 6 bridges and over 4,000
drainage systems on town roads. It also performs emergency
repairs to 200 miles of private roads, sweeps town roads and
responds to pumping flooded private roads on an emergency
basis, grades 91 gravel roads, removes brush and mows
144 lane miles of town road shoulders, and removes litter
from 250 miles of town roads. In addition, the division
maintains over 8,000 regulatory and non-regulatory signs
on town roads and street signs on private roads, maintains
and repairs 48,549.60’ guardrails on town roads and provides
pavement marking on town primary roads and parking lots.
The Forestry section maintains and waters 25 trees per
week during the summer months. The bridge crew operates
the drawbridge and the courier moves interdepartmental
mail, as well as picking up dead animals. The crews
are supported by a small office staff which answers the
telephone, dispatches, and deals with administrative
matters and equipment procurement for the DPW. The
Roadway Maintenance program focuses on our goal of
infrastructure maintenance, deals expeditiously with daily
complaints, strives to complete the preparations necessary
for the following year’s roadway resurfacing program and,
increasingly, accomplishes construction projects such as
drainage improvements. During winter storms, everyone
works to keep our roadways passable.
Equipment Support Program Description. The Equipment
Support Program maintains a 160 unit fleet of vehicles
which includes trucks, automobiles, street sweepers,
backhoes and everything in between. We do this for
all divisions of the DPW, as well as Natural Resources,
Weights and Measures, Recreation, Animal Control,
Sandy Neck, Hyannis Youth & Community Center and
the Harbormaster. The Equipment Support Program also
maintains 27 traffic signals, 13 school flashers, the Osterville
drawbridge, and operates the municipal fueling depot.
Snow and Ice Removal Program Description. The
Snow and Ice Removal Program provides for snow and ice
removal from 450 miles of roads comprised of 201 miles of
town roads, 49 miles of county roads, 200 miles of private
roads, 54 municipal parking areas containing 46 acres,
and 70 miles of town sidewalks and four miles of bike
paths. The program goal is to remove a large portion of the
accumulated snow and ice from its areas of responsibility
as quickly as possible. The removal is intended to be of
sufficient width and depth to allow the adequately prepared
public to travel at reduced speeds throughout the town. The
Department does not attempt to achieve bare pavement
during any storm. The practice is far too expensive and the
large quantities of salt required would be detrimental to the
environment.
Workload Indicators:
The Highway Division is reviewing work load indicators in
conjunction with citizen work order requests to better serve
the citizens of the Town of Barnstable
STRUCTURES AND GROUNDS DIVISION
“Preserving infrastructure assets”
The Structures and Grounds Division is supervised by
Joseph J. Marshall.
Division Purpose:
The Structures & Grounds Division is committed to providing
outstanding public services for the residents and visitors of
Barnstable, and our colleagues in municipal employment
while protecting and maintaining the town’s buildings, parks,
cemeteries, marinas, community facilities, and recreational
resources. We strive to accomplish this in a manner that
maximizes life, safety and utility while enhancing the town’s
unique environmental and aesthetic qualities. Our goal is to
construct, renovate and maintain our facilities in the most
responsive, responsible, and cost effective manner without
diminishing the quality we seek to implement. We place a high
priority on energy efficiency and conservation and promote the
use of renewable energy in all projects.

TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 61
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:
During FY 2021, Human Resources continued to play a
major role in the Town’s response to the COVID-19
pandemic. Our staff was a resource to employees as we
continued to navigate the ever changing guidance from
Federal, State, and Local public health officials. Working in
conjunction with the Senior Leadership Team and our
unions, we implemented a remote work policy. Later in the
fiscal year, we continued this partnership as the organization
transitioned into a more hybrid workforce.
RECRUITMENT:
The Town of Barnstable continued its commitment to
attracting, maintaining and retaining a diverse,
knowledgeable and effective workforce. In FY 2021 Human
Resources assisted Municipal and School Departments in
filling 622 full-time and part-time positions. Human
Resources received 4,199 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 High School
Principal, Chief Procurement Officer and Deputy Director of
Asset Management.
ACCESSABILITY:
In December of 2020, the Town of Barnstable received a
$250,000 grant from the Massachusetts Office on Disability.
This grant will allow the Town of Barnstable to develop an
ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan. The plan will
take a closer look throughout the town to see how programs
and facilities can create an environment that is more
inclusive and supportive for individuals of all abilities.
Human Resources partnered with the Barnstable Disability
Commission and the Planning and Development
Department to secure this grant. Assistant Human
Resources Director Tammy Cunningham was instrumental in
this effort.
BENEFITS
In FY2021, most of the Town of Barnstable’s wellness
programs were provided by the Cape Cod Municipal Health
Group (CCMHG). Many activities were conducted outdoors
and included a Friday night cycling series, learn to play
pickleball and tennis, Couch to 5K beginner running, and a
fall weekly scenic hiking series. There were monthly closed
group CCMHG Facebook thematic challenges, all of which
involved sharing a log of daily activities inspired by the
theme of the month.
CCMHG members were also encouraged to sign onto
the “AHealthyMe” Wellness Portal and take a health
assessment and earn points towards rewards and incentives
upon completing group challenges.
LABOR/EMPLOYEE RELATIONS:
Human Resources Staff were involved in all aspects of
labor/employee relations in Fiscal Year 2021.
In December, 74 employees were recognized for their
years of service with the Town. Also 18 employees who
retired during the year received special recognition. Due to
the COVID-19 pandemic, this annual recognition was done
virtually.
WORKERS COMPENSATION:
In Fiscal Year 2021, Human Resources received and
processed 82 reports of work-related injuries for all
departments including the School Department, of which 13
resulted in lost time.
UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS:
During FY 2021 the Department processed and paid
unemployment claims which cost the Town $116,300. This
amount represents a $228,252 (77%) decrease over FY
2020.
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

the sewer assessment ordinance in May 2021.
The Legal Department defended the Board of
Assessors’ valuation of the Cape Cod Mall in a multi-day
Zoom trial before the State’s Appellate Tax Board.

106 2021 ANNUAL REPORT
The Treasury Division provides oversight for the
investment policies, cash management, debt management
and collection of real estate liens. Other primary
responsibilities of the Treasurer’s office are producing the
weekly town payroll and biweekly school payroll for
approximately 2,500 full, part-time and seasonal employees,
including processing extensive contractual adjustments and
oversight and management of all employee deductions. The
Treasury also oversees the issuance and disbursement of all
vendor payments.
The Collector’s office is responsible for the billing and
collection of real estate, personal property tax bills, motor
vehicle and boat excise tax bills, sewer usage and charges
for road, water, sewer and septic betterments.
The Treasurer and Collector offices were consolidated
into a combined Treasurer/ Collector office in June of 2019.
The Treasurer/Collector’s office interacts with all School
and Town Departments in an effort to provide excellent
customer service to our employees, taxpayers, citizens and
the general public.
The goal of the Treasurer/Collector is to maintain a
professional environment for:
• sound cash management procedures;
• effective investment of surplus funds;
• servicing existing debt and issuing new debt;
• timely collection of tax revenues;
• minimizing the amount of delinquent taxes outstanding;
• producing accurate payrolls for both school and municipal
departments; and
• supporting all Town departments in their financial and
operating needs.
It is the policy of the Town of Barnstable that,
providing due regard to the safety and possible risk of
investments, that the management of all available funds
shall be in conformance with Commonwealth of
Massachusetts legal and administrative guidelines. The
Town’s investment portfolio is designed and managed in a
disciplined, quality focused manner, responsive to the
public trust and consistent with state and local laws.
In addition to managing the Town’s general fund and
investment portfolios, under the direction of the Town
Manager and with input from the Trust Fund Advisory
Committee (TFAC), the Treasurer also oversees the
investment of the Town’s trust fund accounts. The Town of
Barnstable currently has custodianship of thirty-one trust
funds with a market value of $32,648,434 as of June 30,
2021.
FISCAL YEAR 2021 MAJOR
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
I am once again pleased to report that Standard &
Poor’s rating agency has assigned its “AAA” long-term
rating and stable outlook to the Town of Barnstable’s 2021
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 March 10, 2021 the Town issued a $12,695,000 GOB
borrowing with a competitive interest rate of 1.33%. We
also refinanced bonds originally issued June 15, 2010 and
June 14, 2011 for a budgetary savings of $1,071,079 over
the remaining life of the bonds refunded.
• Managed the procurement of debt and debt repayment
processes based on Town Council’s approval of loans for
all of the Town’s infrastructure and other capital projects.
Debt payments were in excess of $16,500,000 during FY
2021 for over 175 different projects.
• The Treasurer/Collector worked with the Cape Cod
Municipal Health Group, as a Steering Committee

114 2021 ANNUAL REPORT
Division Overview:
The Barnstable 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.
FY2021 Major Accomplishments:
• Despite the ongoing challenges to our community posed
by the COVID-19 pandemic, the BCOA continued to be a
valuable resource for older adults in Barnstable, including
caregivers. In a demonstration of their commitment to our
community, our staff went to work and began reinventing
our traditional service models. We identified the core needs
of older adults during a “Shelter Safely at Home” order:
Food Security, Safety, Loneliness, Caregiver Support, and
Outreach Support.
• To keep our older adult community engaged and active,
we embraced technology and offered 170 Virtual Programs.
Health and Wellness, such as Meditation, Yoga, and Chair
Exercise were very popular, as were a vast array of classes in
culture, arts and science.
• To support food security in our community, the BCOA
staff continued our Grab and Go lunches on Tuesdays and
Thursdays.
• Elder Services awarded a “CARES” Funds Grant to the
BCOA in the amount of $1,250 to provide outreach and

• BCOA staff assisted with COVID-19 vaccination efforts
by managing the Town of Barnstable COVID-19 online
and phone hotlines. Thousands of inquiries came into
the hotlines, and BCOA staff assisted with referrals to
local vaccination sites, and much needed support and
information. The BACC became a local vaccination site,
and our staff was trained to schedule appointments and work
in the clinics, which made it possible for thousands of local
residents to receive their vaccinations close to home.
• The BCOA staff assumed the task of coordinating all of
the requests for assistance with the Home Bound Vaccine
Program. The BCOA staff worked cooperatively with the
Barnstable Board of Health, and Hyannis Fire Department,
to assist our local residents who do not have the capability
to go to a vaccination site, to receive the vaccine at home.
Over 250 local residents were assisted through this effort.
• In support of caregivers, the Family Caregiver Support
Program staff offered many programs. Three (3) sessions of
the Savvy Caregiver Program was offered. Savvy Caregiver

Brown Bag program, we provided 250 low-income older
adults with a supplemental bag of nutritious food on the first
Friday of each month.

TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 123
The Town of Barnstable is part of the largest
municipal Veterans District by general population served
in the Commonwealth. Vietnam veterans continue to
comprise the largest group of veterans in our town. Their
needs are increasing as they enter the later stages of life
with concomitant medical and disability issues. We also
continue to serve the benefit needs of our WWII, Korean,
Gulf War, OIF/OEF/OND 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 2021, the Town of
Barnstable, through our department, provided $208,377.13
in cash benefits to resident veterans and dependents in
financial crisis. 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 2021, this office assisted in
obtaining $13,620,334.80 in tax free cash payments for
service-connected disabilities and need based pensions for
Town of Barnstable veterans and their dependents.
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 veteran and dependent recipients at no
cost to the town and greatly reduces the need for the
Town Chapter 115 benefits mentioned above.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
VETERANS SERVICES
To administer benefits under
Massachusetts General Law for
low-income veterans and their
dependents in financial need who
are residents of the
Town of Barnstable
and to assist
with other state and federal
veteran’s benefits.
PURPOSE STATEMENT
We are also happy to report that we have established
our first Veterans‘ District wide web site 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. Ch115 at www.capevets.org.
We have a dedicated staff that worked on site from
our offices and conducted home visits for our homebound
veterans and widows throughout COVID and continue to
do so.
Use our web site at capevets.org or call us at (508)
778-8740 for assistance or to make an appointment. We
are in the First Citizens Federal Credit Union Building, 66
Falmouth Road (Route 28), Hyannis, MA 02601.

and retention of diverse housing options in the Town of
Barnstable, including zoning changes, incentive programs,
and support for the Affordable Housing Growth and

businesses, Economic Development staff continued to focus
on helping small businesses through direct outreach,
actively pursuing grant opportunities, and partnering with
local business organizations to develop new and safe ways to
bring people downtown, including enhanced support for
special events. Planning & Development staff collaborated

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The Economic Development Program works to
cultivate a healthy and vibrant environment for economic
development to occur and thrive, with particular focus on
placemaking projects, small business outreach and
marketing, and arts & culture, including the HyArts Artist
Shanty Program.
The Economic Development Program is a strong
supporter of the arts, and through several town-managed
programs works to integrate arts and culture into the fabric
of our community, which is fundamental to community
and economic development. A strong arts community
contributes to the local economy and creates a year round
vibrant backdrop.
The Economic Development Program also supports
local businesses by providing an open line of
communication for business information, including grant
opportunities, town events and programming, as well as
assistance with permitting, locating expansion
opportunities, business planning, and the search for
incentives and other funding sources.

implementation of programs and initiatives that enliven
commercial districts and our working waterfronts; promote
community identity through placemaking in the public
realm and the development of coordinated marketing and
branding; and make Barnstable a desirable place for

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

• New Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance:
Through close coordination among Planning, Housing
and Building staff, a new ADU Ordinance was drafted
and ultimately affirmatively voted upon by Town
Council. The purpose of the ordinance is to: (1) Increase
the number of dwelling units available for year-round
rental in Town while remaining within our current
wastewater capacity limitations; (2) Adapt single-family
residential properties so they are supportive of residents
at a variety of stages in their life cycle; (3) Encourage
greater diversity and support of all populations with
particular attention to young adults and senior citizens;
(4) Encourage a more economic and efficient use of the
Town's housing supply while maintaining the appearance
and character of the Town's single-family neighborhoods;
and (5) Provide homeowners with a means of obtaining
rental income to defray housing costs.
• Permit Coordinator Position: The permit coordinator
position was added to the Regulatory Review staff
in January 2020. The position was established to (1)
Provide support for all applicants throughout their
permitting process regardless the size and scope of the
project. (2) Guide applicants through the appropriate
steps on how to successfully open a business in the
Town of Barnstable. (3) Coordinate weekly Informal
Site Plan Review process as well as the bi-monthly
Formal review process; if required. Site Plan Review
is an administrative process established to support the
Building Commissioner for commercial, industrial and
multi-family projects. The Site Plan Review Committee
is an inter-departmental staff review of projects to ensure
that all development standards are adhered to as well as
explained to an applicant in detail. In conjunction with
the above responsibilities the applicant will be provided
a detailed letter outlining permitting steps and process
to aid in a successful implementation of their proposed
project. The Site Plan Review Committee reviewed 109
applications for this fiscal period.
• Zoning Update E-Mails: Massachusetts law requires
municipalities to notify the public about proposed
zoning amendments through a published notice in
a local newspaper. Barnstable sought to enhance
communication with the public around zoning issues by
offering the opportunity to opt-in to e-mails from the
Town about proposed zoning changes. E-mail messages
are now sent about zoning amendments being considered
through the required process prior to the public hearings
at the Planning Board and Town Council, as applicable.
Messages are also sent about public meetings, workshops
or other efforts that relate to amending zoning.

Old King’s Highway Achieves National Scenic Byway Status
2021 designation makes it one of four in Massachusetts
Wit h its new designation as a National
Scenic Byway by the U.S Department of
Transportation, the 34-mile Old King’s
Highway is now one of four in Massachusetts
to achieve that status. Old King’s Highway
was among three new Massachusetts
designations approved in January 2021 and
49 additional across the country. The
nomination was prepared by the Cape Cod
Commission and the Cape Cod Chamber of
Commerce to preserve, promote, and
enhance this unique roadway. The
Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) submitted the nomination to the
Federal Highway Administration accompanied by letters of support from numerous local
chambers of commerce and the Town of Barnstable. The Chamber’s commitment to
promoting the stories found along the byway was a component in securing this designation.
“The scenic byway category recognizes that, like the environment, the Cape’s history also
drives the economy,” Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce CEO Wendy Northcross said. “Along
with our beaches, salt marshes and harbors, Route 6A captures what many residents and
visitors think when they hear the words ‘Cape Cod.’ The Commission’s work developing a
corridor management plan, initially in 1995 and updated in 2010, helped lay the groundwork
for the national designation, making it eligible for nomination. That plan followed the
roadway’s 1992 designation as a Massachusetts Scenic Byway in recognition of its distinctive

place,” Executive Director Kristy Senatori said. “As we look to the future, it will be important
to protect and preserve these cultural assets from the effects of climate change and other
critical regional challenges for future generations.” The Old King’s Highway extends through
seven communities along the Cape’s north side from Bourne to the Eastham/Orleans border.
It is the backbone of the Old King’s Highway Regional Historic District, enacted in 1974.
The district continues to be instrumental in preserving the historic character of the roadway.
The National Scenic Byways Program, part of the Federal Highway Administration, seeks to
“create a distinctive collection of American roads, their stories and treasured places.” Among
the factors considered in designations are a roadway’s intrinsic qualities – archaeological,
cultural, historic, natural, recreational, and scenic – national or regional significance; overall
visitor’s experience; and long-term sustainability. Along with inclusion in the 2021 National
Scenic Byways Program Designations Booklet, Old King’s Highway will be added to the
America’s Byways website. The Mohawk Trail and Battle Road (Concord, Lincoln,
Lexington, and Arlington) scenic byways were also designated this year. The Connecticut
River Byway was approved in 2009.

Hyannis Main Street Summer 2021
The Town of Barnstable looked to promote a
successful summer season in Barnstable, notably
for the small and local businesses on Hyannis
Main Street. In response to positive feedback
from merchants regarding last year’s efforts, as
well as the COVID social distancing restrictions
that were in place, the Town reinstalled the
modified street configuration that allowed for
expanded outdoor public areas and dining space
for summer 2021. Consistent with the previous
year’s layout, one of the two traffic lanes on the street was 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 and driveways
remained open. The lane closure began at Center Street and extended to Sea Street and
remained in place through the summer. New this year was the availability of on-street

changes. The Town applied for and received funding from Massachusetts Department of
Transportation ‘Shared Streets and Spaces’ program to enhance the environment on the
street through barrier “wraps”, additional planters, strategic wayfinding, and other
enhancements. In preparation for the season, the Planning & Development Department
conducted various forms of outreach including a merchant meeting, as well as a comment
period that allowed the public to communicate with staff directly on the draft street
configuration. While a few businesses had shared concerns, the overwhelming majority of
merchants on the street expressed support
for the modified configuration. This was
confirmed by face-to-face or other direct
communication with over 40 business
owners or managers on the street.
Business Improvement District Executive Director Elizabeth Wurfbain, offered a visit to key downtown sites and
discussion of and gratitude for support and initiatives afforded by the Baker-Polito Administration that have
allowed the Town to implement positive changes along Main Street as well as the Town’s Transformative
Development Initiative (TDI) District. The tour culminated with a ribbon cutting to celebrate the recently
completed mixed-use development located at 255 Main Street which received funding through MassWorks. The
Town is excited to share that both Sea Captains Row and 255 Main Street bring affordable housing in addition to
market rate housing to the greater downtown area.
Hyannis Main Street Summer 2021
The Town of Barnstable looked to promote a successful summer season in Barnstable, notably for the
small and local businesses on Hyannis Main Street. In response to positive feedback from merchants
regarding last year’s efforts, as well as the COVID social distancing restrictions that were in place, the
Town reinstalled the modified
street configuration that allowed
for expanded outdoor public
areas and dining space for
summer 2021. Consistent with
the previous year’s layout, one of
the two traffic lanes on the street
was 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 and driveways remained
open. The lane closure began at Center Street and extended to Sea Street and remained in place
through the summer. New this year was the availability of on-street parking on the north side of the
street in some locations where there is limited outdoor dining. Also new was aesthetic improvements to
the barrier blocks used to implement the changes. The Town applied for and received funding from

PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
CAPE COD
GATEWAY AIRPORT
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 147
To provide a safe and convenient air
travel experience and offer high quality
aviation activities/businesses to the
citizens of the Town of Barnstable,
the Cape Cod region, and the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. As
a non-hub primary airport and a major
transportation facility for Cape Cod,
our goal is to foster local economic
growth and to ensure that the airport
remains an integral part of the regional
transportation plan in an effort to meet
PURPOSE STATEMENT
COMMERCIAL TRANSPORT HUB
CAPE COD GATEWAY AIRPORT
AIRPORT PROGRAM:
The Cape Cod Gateway Airport (formerly
Barnstable Municipal Airport) serves as a distinct
commercial transportation hub for the residents of
the Town of Barnstable and Cape Cod by 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. Cape Cod Gateway 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.
Cape Cod Gateway 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)
Economic Impact Analysis, the Cape Cod Gateway
Airport, in conjunction with its tenants and
associated businesses, provide employment
opportunities for 1,724 people, with an annual
payroll in excess of $73.8 million and a regional
economic output in excess of $157.2 million. In
addition to the 24 airport employees that operate the
facility, the Airport is also home to over 65
businesses/private users, with Cape Air, Atlantic
Aviation (formerly Ross Aviation), Griffin Avionics,
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the Transportation
Security Administration (TSA) making up the bulk of employees on
the airfield.
FY 2021 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Like many town departments, the Airport had to find ways in
Navigating the New Normal. The impact of the COVID-19
pandemic has had lingering effects on so many industries and
aviation was not immune. Even with a loss of over 90% in passenger
traffic during the height of the pandemic, the Airport persevered
and that success is largely in part to business strategies. With the
advent of the 2018 Airport Business and Marketing Plan, the
Airport began to modify its business approach and the effects of
these modifications were apparent in FY2021. 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 so that in
FY2021 we could sustain dips in passenger activity. The following
identifies FY2021 airport accomplishments:
• Leveraged over $2.9M in grant funding to implement various
airport safety, improvement and economic development projects
that included: Airport Tree Clearing Project, Aircraft Rescue
and Firefighting Building Roof Replacement Project, and Various
Airport Equipment Purchases to meet Aircraft Firefighting, Snow
Removal and Mowing Requirements.
• Received $17.9M in federal funding under the Coronavirus Aid,
Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, in which the
Airport has been able to implement a number of Business Plan

goals and fund the majority of its capital improvements
and local grant matching shares as well as cover operating
cost to rebuild airport reserves.
• 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 8 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations
with 8 more on the way in FY2022; and
o Procurement of propane and/or battery operated-solar
powered airfield mowers through the Massachusetts
Department of Transportation – Aeronautics Division
(MassDOT) Leading by Example Greenhouse Gas
Reduction Initiative.
• Implemented a number of Airport Business Plan and
Marketing Plan goals, objectives, and tasks including:
o Rebranding, selecting a new name and logo for the
Airport – Cape Cod Gateway Airport (meets enhance
the airport image and branding)
o Hosting a number of aviation educational events to
entice young Cape area students to learn more about
aviation as a career choice (meets maximize general
aviation activity at the airport and enhance the airport
image and branding) such as:
• Hosting Young Eagles events - a program created by the
US Experimental Aircraft Association designed to give
children between the ages of 8 to 17 an opportunity to
experience flight; and
• Airport tours for local schools.
o Embarking on a new campaign with focus on near
monthly community-based events held at the airport
known as the Cape Cod Gateway Airport Community
Event Series (meets enhance the airport image and
branding).
o Updating Airport Rates and Charges to improve and
update the airports fee based financial structure (meets
diversify airport revenue streams).
o Completing the Airport Master Plan Update; a
comprehensive study of the facility that describes the
short-, medium-, and long-term development plans to
meet future aviation demand (meets maximizes general
aviation activity at the Airport, diversify airport revenue
streams, become a regional air transportation leader, and
enhance the airport image and branding).
o Continuing to collect non-aviation related revenues
from the airport’s 6.669 megawatt (DC) ground mounted
solar photovoltaic array. Revenues continue to exceed
minimum annual guaranteed levels (meets diversify
airport revenue streams).
STATUS ON PERFORMANCE:
The Airport’s top 6 revenue generators include those
outlined below with jet fuel sales increasing significantly in
FY2021 as corporate travel increased nationwide as a result
of the pandemic. The revenues below highlight revenues
generated without the influx of the $17.9M in federal

CAPE COD GATEWAY AIRPORT
Airport Updates Name and Brand
On January 5, 2021, the Airport rolled out a name change and new brand. The airport
formerly known as Barnstable Municipal Airport (HYA) will now be marketed as Cape Cod
Gateway Airport. The three letter identifier for the airport, HYA, will remain the same. As
part of the 2018 Airport Business plan, four main goals were identified: to maximize general
aviation activity at HYA, diversify revenue streams, become a regional air transportation
leader, and enhance the airport image and branding. This puts us one step closer to reaching
these goals,” explained Airport Manager Katie Servis. “The new name and logo were chosen
after a year-long review of alternative names presented during the Airport Master Plan
Visioning Sessions and through discussions with airport users and Town of Barnstable officials.
The airport considered its overall business objectives, potential opportunities a new name may
afford, existing challenges, and our local community. The new name and logo were chosen not
only to respond to passenger needs and expectations but to prepare for potential airline
partnerships, align with the Airport’s commercial future, refocus the customer experience, and
change transportation perceptions for Cape Cod and the Islands. We wanted to ensure we
created a greater sense of place as we market to travelers and users of the facility.” “After
months of deliberation and local and national research, we are happy with our decision with
the name and logo,” said Assistant Airport Manager Matthew Elia. “We are excited to start
this new year with a new look.” The airport will be gradually changing the logo throughout the
terminal and grounds.

In Fiscal Year 2021, the Community Preservation Committee (CPC)
approved and recommended a total of five projects to the Town Council,
through the Town Manager, for appropriations totaling $1,932,169. Open
Space and Recreation, and Community Housing were among the projects for
which funding was approved and appropriated.
Community Preservation Act (CPA) funds in the amount of $300,000
were recommended by the Community Preservation Committee through the
Town Manager and appropriated by the Town Council in support of the
creation of two (2) moderate income deed-restricted residential rental two-
bedroom apartment units indexed at 100% Area Median Income. The two-
bedroom units are located within a mixed-use redevelopment of an
historically significant building located at 255 Main Street in the East End of
Hyannis Main Street and are restricted at 100% Area Median Income (AMI)
in perpetuity. The total project budget for the mixed-use redevelopment is
$3,056,628 and includes the construction of 8 additional one-bedroom
apartments. 255 Main Street, Hyannis is in the epicenter of three maps,
both local and Federal, specifically designated to encourage growth. The
project creates much needed workforce, year-round housing for local
professionals, and will be a key piece of the economic development plan for
the East End.
CapeBuilt – 255 Main Street, Hyannis – Community Housing $ 300,000
Acquisition Hyannis Golf Course – FY21 Debt Service – Open Space/Recreation $ 289,600
28 Falcon Road, West Barnstable – Land Acquisition – Open Space/Recreation $ 320,000
830 Wakeby Road, Marstons Mills – Land Acquisition – Open Space/Recreation $ 500,000
Pickleball Courts – 760 Osterville/West Barnstable Road – Open Space/Recreation $ 522,569
TOTAL $ 1,932,169
The Town Council approved the Community
Preservation Committee to assume payment of the remaining
debt associated with the acquisition of the Hyannis Golf
Course to be phased over a five-year period and appropriated
$289,600 for payment of the fiscal year 2021 loan amount.
Existing Article 97 protections for active recreation will
remain in place and in exchange for assumption of the
remaining debt, the Community Preservation Committee will
have authorization of any change of future uses if golf is
determined to no longer be a viable use. Community
Preservation has acquired a recreation interest for additional
active recreation uses such as an adventure course. With the
assumption of this debt by the Community Preservation
Committee, the Hyannis Golf Course has the opportunity to
invest funds in the existing infrastructure which will attract
more users to participate. The ancillary benefits of an active
golf course are the rental of hotel rooms and visits to
restaurants and shops.
Community Preservation Act (CPA) funds in the amount
of $320,000 were recommended by the Community
Preservation Committee through the Town Manager and
appropriated by the Town Council for the acquisition of the
open space resource consisting of 15.96 acres located at 28
Falcon Road, West Barnstable. The Town of Barnstable owns
the land with Barnstable Land Trust holding the Conservation
Restriction. This Community Preservation funding amount
represents a portion of the total purchase price of $347,500
with $27,500 in cash and in-kind contributions provided by
Barnstable Land Trust. This land acquisition satisfies many
Barnstable Open Space Plan and Community Preservation
Act goals related to water supply protection, natural resource
preservation as well as passive recreation.
Community Preservation Act (CPA) funds in the amount
of $500,000 were appropriated by the Town Council for the
Town of Barnstable to acquire the open space resource
consisting of 15.74 acres located at 830 Wakeby Road,
Marstons Mills. At the time of the Town Council’s

appropriation, a state drinking water supply protection grant
application for reimbursement of matching funds in the
amount of $250,000 was pending and subsequently awarded.
At a later Town Council meeting, the appropriation was
amended to reflect receipt of the drinking water grant along
with the addition of COMM Fire District as the primary
holder of the Conservation Restriction and Barnstable Land
Trust as the secondary holder. The matching grant funds will
reimburse the Community Preservation Fund. The total
purchase price of the property was $525,680 with Barnstable
Land Trust providing $25,680 in both funding and in-kind
contributions. This land acquisition satisfies many Town
planning and Community Preservation Act goals, as well as
the Town’s Open Space Plan related to scenic, water supply
protection, and natural resource protection and passive
recreation. The partnership with Barnstable Land Trust and
the leveraging of the drinking water grant creates an
advantageous cost-benefit value for the Town and Barnstable
Land Trust.
The Department of Public Works request was approved
for Community Preservation funds in the amount of $522.569
to cover increased costs for the construction of 10 new
dedicated pickleball courts and 2 tennis courts with pickleball
overlay lines; provision of handicap parking; and a storage
shed at the existing site located at 760 Osterville/West
Barnstable Road, Marstons Mills. This funding request
represents a portion of the total project cost of $1,142,569
with $620,000 provided by Capital Improvement Plan
Funding (CIP). The need and strong public support for
dedicated pickleball courts in the Town of Barnstable was
expressed by the community and identified in the recent
comprehensive field study.

meet the needs of older
people residing in the
Town of Barnstable.
PURPOSE STATEMENT
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Due to COVID-19 limitations, and the inability to
meet regularly in person, almost half of our nine voting
members were new to the Council and had to be
introduced to our responsibilities and activities. This was a
year-long activity which went very well.
Investigated ways to expand the Council on Aging’s
offerings to beyond the walls of the Barnstable Adult
Community Center (BACC), to all corners of the Town of
Barnstable, particularly addressing the needs of those who
are unable to get to the Barnstable Adult Community
Center.
MEEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR ELDERS
Respectfully submitted,
John F. Jope, Ed.M.
Chair
MAJOR INITIATIVES:
Re-address the specific goal of the development of an
Interservice Council model, to consist of members of
various agencies such as police, fire, postal service, home
care agencies, etc. to meet monthly. The purpose of this
will be to share concerns, ideas, and mutual assistance, and
to open channels of communication between such groups;
Engage with the Director and the Ombudsman to
assure open and meaningful dialogue between Council on
Aging clients, their families, and the Council on Aging
board.
Maintain awareness of, and support for, the need to
expand and offer the Council on Aging’s services beyond
the walls of the BACC, to all corners of the Town of
Barnstable, particularly for those adults who are unable to
get to the Barnstable Adult Community Center.

TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 161
To preserve and protect historical
buildings and settings throughout
the Town and to continue to inform
and educate the public about
Town history and its significance.
PURPOSE STATEMENT
PRESERVING BARNSTABLE’S HISTORY
The Barnstable Historical Commission was established
to promote the public welfare and safeguard the Town’s
historical, cultural, and architectural heritage by promoting
historical resources that make the Town a more interesting,
attractive, and desirable place in which to live.
The Commission reviews applications for a permit
for demolition or substantial alteration for buildings that
have been listed or is the subject of pending application for
listing on the National register of Historic Places or listed
on the Massachusetts Register of Historic Places, or is over
75 years of age. This review is not extended to properties
located in Barnstable’s two local historic districts: Old
King’s Highway Historic District and the Hyannis Main
Street Waterfront District.
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 of the Town of
Barnstable Code the Commission may hold a public hearing
on the proposed demolition of a historically 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 fiscal year 2021, the Commission reviewed 37
matters. The Commission issued 6 demolition delays during
this year for 20 Scallop Path, Osterville, 359 Seapuit Road,
Osterville, 20 Grand Island Avenue, Osterville, 76 Long
Beach Road, Centerville, 39 Cove Road, Centerville, and
599 Iyannough Road, Hyannis. The Commission also voted
in favor of 11 full demolitions and 19 partial demolitions.
There was one withdrawal.
As always, we appreciate the staff support of the
Planning & Development Department.

HYANNIS MAIN STREET WATERFRONT
HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION (HHDC)
FY21 was unlike any other for the Hyannis Main Street
Waterfront Historic District. The District has been greatly
impacted by the ongoing pandemic, yet the business
community continues to be resilient and the Hyannis Main
Street Waterfront Historic District Commission has sought
to support the community through these tough times.
The Hyannis Main Street Waterfront Historic District

The Community Preservation Act (CPA)
was passed in 2000 and accepted by the Town
of Barnstable in 2005. Before that time,
Barnstable purchased land under the Land
Bank Act, supported by the Open Space
Committee. When Barnstable accepted
CPA, the Land Bank was retired and the
Open Space Committee disbanded. The
Town Council formed its Community
Preservation Committee in 2005 to execute
the three prongs of the CPA: affordable
housing, represented by the Housing
Committee, historic preservation, represented
by the Historical Commission and open
space, represented by Conservation
Commission, and more recently, the
Recreation Commission. The Land
Acquisition and Preservation Committee
(LAPC) was formed in 2005 to replace the
Open Space Committee and the majority of
its early members were Open Space
Committee members.
LAPC reviews Conservation Restriction
(CR) proposals prior to their approval by
Town Council and Conservation Commission. It targets parcels for open
space acquisition, prepares the Town’s Open Space and Recreation Plan,
supports the Cape Cod Pathways and the Town’s trail systems, participates
in the management of the Santuit Preserve and educates the public about
water quality and preservation.
This past year has been very challenging as all meetings have been
remote, and the Committee’s work is more compatible with face-to-face
meetings and interactions. However, the Committee has focused on
finalizing several CRs which remained unrecorded and bringing forward two
major CRs-Wakeby Road and Spruce Bog (Falcon Road), the latter
rewritten to allow water drilling and resource wells. The Committee also
filed an opinion about enforcement of the CR on the Barnstable County
Farm.
The Committee started to be involved in recommendations for the use
of the Twin Brooks property, currently a resort and golf course in Hyannis,
slated for major redevelopment.
The Committee welcomed several speakers. Lev Malakoff, Pathways
volunteer and member of the New England Mountain Bike Association
presented trail alternatives and improvements. The Committee began
working with Mr. Malakoff on construction of a bridge over wetlands on
one of the major trails. Casey Dannhauser Chatelain, Special Projects
Manager for the Barnstable Clean Water Coalition, spoke about cranberry
bog restoration and septic alternatives. Shannon Hulst, Barnstable County
and Woods Hole Sea Grant Floodplain Coordinator, spoke about Federal
and local buyback programs as a defense to global warming and tidal surges.
The Committee completed the Open Space and Recreation Plan, begun
in 2018, which was approved by the State.
Because of the ongoing pandemic, the Santuit Preserve Management
team did not meet, but maintenance continued to be done on the Preserve,
thanks to the Town’s Department of Public Works.
One of the positive outcomes of the pandemic was that people took
advantage of the Town’s extensive trail system. The Fall and Spring
Walking weekends, led by Farley Lewis, were well attended. The
Committee’s main focus continues to be to underline the importance to our
community’s mental and physical health and wellbeing of this recreational
resource. The Committee advocated and will continue to advocate for
more aggressive stewardship of the Town’s open space, including accessing
grants, maintenance of trails, signage, effective utilization of volunteers.
We thank our Town Council liaison Kris Clark for her guidance and
advocacy. For more information, please visit: www.townofbarnstable.us/

RECREATION FOR ALL
2021 SUMMARY
The Sandy Neck Board is a Town committee comprised
of seven members who provide the Town Manager and
Town Council with advice relative to strategic
opportunities and risks for Sandy Neck Beach Park. The
agenda for each meeting is built around three focus areas:
conservation, economic sustainability and public use and
education. Working with the Sandy Neck management
team, the board contributed to the development of beach
policies and regulations, 2022 fee structure as well as
COVID-19 guidelines.
This year saw a significant increase in beach use due to
pent up demand from the pandemic. Revenues were up
52% ($444K) driven by significant increase in beach
parking fees, ORV (Off Road Vehicle) passes and
merchandise sales. The Sandy Neck team was faced with
challenges managing this demand while maintaining a safe
environment; supporting plover, tern and terrapin nesting
and following COVID-19 guidelines. I am pleased to report
that policy changes such as earlier beach curfews have
driven improvements in behavior on the beach and safety
statistics. In addition, both plover and terrapin hatchlings
increased significantly year over year. In terms of the
increased demand, the team was able to provide a fair
allocation of limited space aided by the use of the new
camper reservation system.
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 last placed on the beach in 2018 has
now been significantly eroded by recent storms. We are
expecting new sand to be available as a result of the winter
2022 dredging of Barnstable Harbor. There are also two
capital projects in the pipeline which will study options for
risk mitigation in protecting beach assets.
We also welcomed a new board member, Maureen
Piccione who replaced Nate King. Nate had served on the
board for over 30 years! Would also like to acknowledge
the great teamwork we received from Town Councilors Kris
Clark and Gordon Starr as well as Chris Kelsey from
Barnstable Police.
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 commission hosted a presentation with Deb
Ciavola, PhD in Family Therapy, School Resource Officers
David Downs, and Officer Dennis Stampfl, 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. Unlike previous
years this event was held on Zoom in a webinar format. We
believe that it still was able to create an impact even with
the different format.
5th Annual Youth Job Fair - The Youth Job Fair had to be
significantly altered this year due to COVID restrictions. It
was held virtually on Zoom where students, ages 14-17,
were able to visit various breakout rooms. In these rooms,
they were able to speak to employers and even fill out
applications on the spot online. In addition to the fair, we
created a webpage where youth could find local businesses
willing to hire in their age range and learn how to apply.
“Hidden in Plain Sight” Trailer - State grant funds
received during FY 2020 were utilized to buy and furnish a
trailer in order to emulate a teenager’s bedroom, and it
neared completion towards the end of this fiscal year. We
hope to be able to provide knowledge on various
techniques used to hide substances from parents in the
bedroom. The plan is to bring this trailer to various events,
but specifically the Community Substance Abuse
Prevention Forum in FY 2022.
Youth Summit - Like our other events we had to move the
Youth Summit virtually. We invited Clifton Crosby, a
former NFL football player, to speak about his experiences

as a teenager. On a Zoom meeting with BIS 7th grade
students, he recounted his stories and taught the youth how to
learn from one’s mistakes and how to make good choices in
the future. He was a powerful speaker and we hope to have
come close to the impact of the usual full-day Youth Summit.
One Love - The Youth Commission organized a new One
Love Workshop virtually at Saint John Paul II High School
and Sturgis Charter Public School (East and West campuses).
This workshop, Behind the Post, taught the youth about the
10 healthy and unhealthy signs in relationships and how social
media may portray situations differently from reality. The
commissioners and other youth in the community trained to
be facilitators and lead discussions throughout the workshop,
helping to educate on this crucial subject.
Climate Change Education - Town Manager Mark Ells
approached the Commission in December requesting our help
in achieving the Town’s strategic plan. With this in mind, we
worked through it seeing where we could best help and our
gaps in aiding the community. The Commission felt that
creating a climate change subcommittee would be best,
focusing on the local environment and our impacts upon it.
The subcommittee created a recorded easily digestible
educational video regarding the CWMP, as it is and will be a
pressing matter for years to come. In addition, an agricultural
awareness presentation is currently being edited and hopefully
released soon.
MAJOR PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES:
We are continuing our efforts to create a safer and healthier
community through the constant development of our programs
and the creation of new ones. There are plans to deliver nearly
all of our programs to wider audiences in the future. We hope
for a year of expansion and return to normal for the next fiscal
year.
This year was certainly tough with virtual meetings and the
constant worry of a pandemic, but the
Commission came together stronger than before. Even when
we were facing hardships we still managed to create new
programs and alter old ones to fit this new normal. I am so
proud of what we have done together and I thank everyone
who helped, especially our adult advisors who help us every
step of the way.

KEEPING A SPECIAL PLACE SPECIAL!
Cape Cod Climate Initiative
In January 2021, the Commission approved
amendments to the Regional Policy Plan (RPP) to include
a climate mitigation goal, objectives, and associated
technical guidance. The amendments support, advance,
and contribute to the Commonwealth’s interim and long-
term greenhouse gas reduction goals and initiatives,
including a state-wide net zero carbon target by 2050. The
amendments also include a new greenhouse gas emissions
performance measure.
The Assembly of Delegates and Barnstable County
Board of Regional Commissioners approved the amended
RPP in February 2021.
In April 2021, the draft Cape Cod Climate Action
Plan, developed in parallel with the RPP amendments, was
released for public comment. The plan benefited from
development of a regional greenhouse gas emissions
inventory, an economic and fiscal impact analysis, and a
legal and policy analysis, among other research and
analysis. The result was a comprehensive plan providing
actionable goals for Cape Cod. The Climate Action Plan is
intended to foster collaborative, targeted action to address
climate change in measurable ways.
By the end of June 2021, Commission staff was
reviewing 66 public comments representing more than 500
individual points of feedback.
Climate Ambassador Program
The Climate Ambassador Program is an initiative to
educate, engage and empower young people on Cape Cod
to work together to combat climate change. The Program is
intended for students in grades 9-12 who would like to
develop a better understanding of climate change, learn
how to communicate effectively about climate, and learn
what actions can be taken individually and collectively to
bring about change.
Nineteen students were chosen from a field of nearly
40 applicants after submitting a one-page letter detailing
their interest along with a teacher recommendation.
Students from Martha’s Vineyard, Monomoy Regional,
Barnstable, Sturgis East and West, Nauset Regional,
Bourne, Mashpee, Sandwich, Upper Cape Tech and
Falmouth Academy participated in the Program.
Economic Development and COVID-19 Response
The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented
changes to the way we live and work, with widespread
impacts felt across the region. Working with state, regional,
and local partners, the Commission helped develop and
maintain several information tools and websites to provide
up-to-date information on COVID cases, economic
impacts, and other details supporting the Cape’s reopening,
recovery, and resiliency efforts. See datacapecod.org.
CEDS Year Two Report Approved
In June 2021, the Barnstable County Economic
Development Council (BCEDC) and Cape Cod
Commission approved the Year Two annual report for the
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS),
outlining successes and challenges, and the proposed Year
Three Implementation plan.
The following initiatives are included as part of the
Year Three plan: Last-Mile Broadband Deployment
Strategy and Buildout Fund, Regional Housing Plan,
Workforce and Business Retention Program, Regional
Capital Plan, Model Bylaws for Zoning/Design, Water
Quality Planning, and COVID-19 Response.
The BCEDC is an advisory board to the Barnstable
County Commissioners and is supported by Cape Cod
Commission staff.
Cape Cod License Plate Grants
The Cape Cod License Plate grant program allocates
Barnstable County’s share of funds raised through sales of
the Cape Cod and Islands license plate. The program
focuses on regional priorities for economic development
that align with implementation of the region’s 5-year
CEDS. Eligible applicants are non-profits and
municipalities.
The FY2021 grant round sought to address COVID-19
driven economic need in the region, awarding more than
$135,000 to six organizations.
Completion of the Water Quality Data Portal
As part of a grant through the EPA’s Southeast New
England Program (SNEP), Commission staff and project
partners developed a database and tool to aggregate and
access all data compiled from approximately 20 years of
coastal water quality monitoring. These different sources of
coastal water quality data were compiled into a single
dataset, accessible through a public-facing data portal.
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.
PURPOSE STATEMENT CAPE COD COMMISSION
180 ANNUAL REPORT
The project was designed to increase the accessibility
and comparability of water quality data collected
throughout the Cape Cod region and facilitate use of best
available data by local decisionmakers. See https://
waterquality.capecodcommission.org/.
Cape Cod and Islands Water Protection Fund
The Cape Cod and Islands Water Protection Fund
(CCIWPF) was established by the Massachusetts
Legislature in 2018 to help Cape Cod and Islands towns
pay for necessary wastewater infrastructure and water
quality remediation projects. Projects on the Massachusetts
Clean Water Intended Use Plan (IUP) for State Revolving
Fund (SRF) loans are eligible for subsidies from the
CCIWPF.
The CCIWPF is a dedicated fund within the state’s
Clean Water Trust set up to solely benefit communities on
Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket. Its source of
revenue is a 2.75% excise tax on traditional lodging and
short-term rentals. The Cape Cod Commission provides
administrative and technical support to the management
board.
In April 2021, the board unanimously voted to award
the first set of subsidies to eight Cape Cod towns. Projects
in excess of $1 million receive subsidies equal to 25% of the
project costs. Projects of $1 million or less receive 50%
subsidies. The board made contingent and final
commitments totaling nearly $71 million for qualifying pre-
existing debt and for projects on the 2018, 2019, 2020, and
2021 IUPs.
The Town of Barnstable was approved for more than
$12 million in subsidies for both pre-existing debt and
current projects.
Old King’s Highway Achieves National Scenic Byway
Nomination
Old King’s Highway was designated a National Scenic
Byway by the U.S Department of Transportation. The
nomination was prepared by the Cape Cod Commission
and the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce to preserve,
promote, and enhance this unique roadway. The
Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT)
submitted the nomination to the Federal Highway
Administration accompanied by letters of support from
numerous local chambers of commerce and the Town of
Barnstable.
The Commission’s work developing a corridor
management plan, initially in 1995 and updated in 2010,
helped lay the groundwork for the national designation,
making it eligible for nomination. That plan followed the
roadway’s 1992 designation as a Massachusetts Scenic
Byway in recognition of its distinctive scenic and historic
character.
Development and Approval of the FFY2022-2026
Transportation Improvement Plan
The Cape Cod Commission supported the Cape Cod
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), and their
advisory group, the Cape Cod Joint Transportation
Committee, in the development of key transportation
planning documents for the region including the FFY2022-
2026 Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP). The TIP
serves as a prioritized listing of roadway, bridge, and transit
projects proposed for implementation during the next five
years.
Developed with a robust virtual engagement process,
the plan included over $200 million in funded projects
across all 15 communities, including more than $21 million
for the construction of new shared use paths in Barnstable,
Bourne, Sandwich, and Yarmouth.
The TIP is accessible at www.capecodcommission.org/
TIP.
Barnstable Local Comprehensive Plan Update and
Support
The Town of Barnstable requested technical assistance
in support of its efforts to update the Town's Local
Comprehensive Plan (LCP). The update intended to
address the town’s pressing need to increase housing supply,
diversity and affordability, and economic and climate
resiliency.
With funding provided by the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community
Development’s District Local Technical Assistance
Program, Commission staff supported the LCP update by
providing data, mapping, and an online viewer.

184 2021 ANNUAL REPORT
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 185
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 2021 (FY21), 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
FY21 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). By retiring RECs to match the Compact’s
customers’ usage, Compact customers are financially supporting
renewable energy resources, including resources located on
Cape Cod. In addition, NextEra deposits 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.
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 an option
to support local renewable energy development by paying a
small premium on their monthly electric bill. The Compact
uses this premium to purchase and retire Massachusetts Class 1
RECs to match either 50% or 100% of customers’ annual
electricity usage, in addition to the RECs retired as part of the
Compact’s standard power supply product. These RECs are
sourced from renewable energy projects in New England,
CAPE LIGHT COMPACT JPE
including several solar installations on Cape Cod. By
participating in CLC Local Green, customers are driving the
market to bring new renewable energy resources to 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; however,
natural gas pipeline capacity has not substantially increased
during that same period. This creates a supply shortage of
natural gas for electricity production during winter cold snaps,
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 2021, the Compact had approximately 20,552
electric accounts in the Town of Barnstable participating in its
power supply program.
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 FY21, 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:
• 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 filed its designed CVEO proposal in May
2020 and awaits an order from the Department of Public
Utilities (DPU).
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
As outlined in the table below, FY21 brought more than
$5 Million of energy efficiency rebates and incentives, awarded
to more than 4,762 Participants of the Compact’s Energy
Efficiency Programs within the Town of Barnstable, resulting in
annual electricity savings of more than 14,400,000 kWh.
Notable activity includes:
• 1,223 Participants in comprehensive Home Energy
Assessments.
• $209,185 spent on municipal energy efficiency projects,
saving more than 1,047,314 kWh annually. Municipal
entities served include the Barnstable County Complex,
Barnstable High School, and more.
• 251 non-government commercial & industrial
participants, implementing a wide variety of projects,
resulting in $1,239,558 of awarded incentives and,
approximately 6,976,072 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 increase peak demand. These measures are cost effective, and provide
benefits to customers in a more holistic, integrated approach that helps customers
address their energy use and associated costs based on their individual needs and goals,
while aligning with the broader Commonwealth energy and greenhouse gas emissions
reduction goals.

MISSION STATEMENT

Co-Chair
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 189
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 Governance of the Steamship Authority consists of
a five-member Board of Governors who are appointed by
the respective mainland towns of Barnstable, Falmouth, the
City of New Bedford and the Islands of Nantucket and
Martha’s Vineyard. Each town has a weighted vote with the
three mainland towns having a vote of 10% each and the
two islands having 35% each. The Steamship Authority
also has a Port Council who serve as an advisory board to
management and the Board of Governors. There are seven
members of the Port Council, each member has an equal
vote.
The Steamship Authority does not receive a state or
federal subsidy and operates only on the funds generated by
the rate payers. This is unlike any other governmental ferry
system in the country who are most always subsidized by
their respective enabling governmental body. This is an
important issue as in accordance with the enabling
legislation of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the
Steamship Authority cannot make a profit nor create a
rainy-day fund to offset any deficit, but in the event of a
deficit, the five towns serviced by the Authority would have
to pick up the deficit. But thankfully, there has not been a
deficit in the past 59 years requiring the cities and towns to
pay for the deficit.
Over the past seven years, the Authority has been
engaged in a massive reconstruction of the waterfront in
Woods Hole. The project has been plagued with financial
overruns due to pilings needing to be driven into the
substrate between one hundred and one hundred and fifty
feet only to strike impenetrable glacial ledge and boulders.
Work has been restricted to the winter months and often in
harsh weather conditions. The waterfront project is now
complete, and the landside terminal is about to begin.
When finished, the terminal will meet the Authority’s
needs for to at least fifty years.
The Authority has been doing its part mitigating global
warming and the carbon footprint. This is extremely
expensive, but every effort is being made to meet the energy
standards of the future. The Authority has signed an
agreement to construct canopied solar panels over the
2,000-car parking lot at the Thomas B Landers parking lot
off route 28. Three electric busses have been budgeted at a
cost of one million dollars each bus; two of which are slated
for Falmouth and one bus for Hyannis. Conventional busses
cost about one third that price. What is also noteworthy,
the new terminal to be built in Woods Hole will be 100%
LEEDS certified; a very difficult certificate to obtain and
one of the very few on Cape Cod. While the future looks
forward to hybrid ferries powered by both electric and diesel.
These engines are unfortunately very much into the future
due to technology. distance, cost, and available shore power
at each port..
Statistical Data for 2021 is above 2020 the year of

Shufelt for his five years of service as the Town of
Barnstable’s representative on the Steamship Authority’s

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.

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.

TRUST FUND ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Kirkman Trust was established in 1953. The
original trust document was the Will of Mary Lewis
Kirkman. It provided that fund income be used for the
maintenance and beautification of Town cemeteries and for
support of the seven libraries of the villages of the Town of
Barnstable.
In May of 2021, $250,000 was allotted from the
Kirkman Trust Fund to be shared equally between the
Libraries and Cemeteries for numerous projects that were
presented to the Trust Fund Advisory Committee. The
Trust Fund Advisory Committee makes recommendations
to the Town Manager for his approval.
The Trust Fund Advisory Committee is currently
working with a newly established Hearse Committee to
assist in the funding from the Kirkman Trust Fund for the
restoration of a 19th Century horse-drawn hearse that is in
disrepair at the Marstons Mills Cemetery hearse house.
The Town of Barnstable acquired a horse-drawn hearse
and hearse house for each of the seven villages of the Town
during the 19th century; the house in each case was usually
built next to the oldest burying ground of each village.
Funds to pay for the hearses and hearse houses were
appropriated by Town Meeting, as well as for the costs of
repair. Marstons Mills acquired its hearse and house next
to the Marstons Mills Cemetery on Route 149.
Over the years, one by one, all of the other hearses and
hearse houses of that era on Cape Cod have been removed,
leaving the hearse and hearse house in Marstons Mills as
the only 19th century glass hearse remaining on Cape Cod
and much of southeastern Massachusetts.
Funds in excess of $10,000 were disbursed from several
of the trust accounts for a variety of educational
scholarships as well as donations of $300 to Independence
House in Hyannis and $200 to the Teens Love Christmas

CREATE AND PRESERVE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
The Town Council. established the Affordable
Housing/Growth and Development Trust Fund Board
(Trust), in 2007 (Town Council Order 2007-158) by
accepting the provisions of M.G.L c. 44 s.55C, which
authorizes the creation of a municipal affordable housing
trust. The establishment of the Trust allows the Town to
collect funds for affordable housing, segregate those funds
into a trust fund, and then use those funds to create and
preserve affordable housing.
In Fiscal Year 2020, the Trust was appropriated $2.5
million in Community Preservation Act (CPA) funds for
the creation, acquisition, preservation, and support of
community housing. During Fiscal Year 2021, the Trust
focused on increasing the affordable housing stock in
response to the heightened and ongoing housing
availability and affordability crisis exacerbated by the
pandemic. The Trust issued a Notice of Funding
Availability (NOFA) which sought applications to provide
gap funding to support the development of affordable and
community housing through the redevelopment of existing
structures or buildings, the conversion of existing market
rate units to affordable housing units, the acquisition of
land and the construction of new housing. Additionally,
funding was available for pre-development work to
determine the viability of residential affordable housing
development on a site as well as for the preservation of
existing affordable housing units.
By the end of Fiscal Year 2021, the Trust had awarded
$1.4 million to Standard Holdings, LLC for the creation of
ten (10) affordable rental units to be affordable in
perpetuity for households earning 50% or below of the area
median income (AMI). The affordable rental units are to
be located at 850 Falmouth Road, Hyannis, MA within a
proposed fifty-three (53) unit multifamily housing
development. A previously approved loan to the Cape and
Islands Veterans Outreach Center, Inc. for $90,000 in
support of the creation of five (5) single room occupancy
units for homeless veterans to be located at 1341 Route
134, Dennis, MA was converted into a grant, subject to the
execution of an affordable housing restriction, ensuring the
affordability of those units in perpetuity.
In addition to these funding activities, the Trust
actively sought partnerships to leverage Community
Preservation Act (CPA) funds by initiating contact with
Massachusetts Housing Partnership (MHP) to explore the
possibility of Barnstable becoming one of the Gateway
cities to use MHP’s ONE + Mortgage program which when
combined with the use of CPA funds, significantly increases
the buying power of income-eligible purchasers, helping to
bridge the affordability gap.
Recognizing that the disposition of surplus town land
could help incentivize the development of affordable
housing, the Trust worked with the Town’s Asset
Management Division to review several town-owned
parcels that may potentially be suitable for disposition for
the development of affordable housing. These parcels are
also candidates for the use of predevelopment funds to
evaluate development feasibility.

REOPENING SCHOOLS TO IN-PERSON
LEARNING
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.
STUDENTS
AND STAFF
Student
enrollment in
Barnstable Public
Schools spans across
nine schools from
preschool to Grade
12+. During the
2020-21 school year,
4,713 students were enrolled. During the year, enrollment
declined by 300 students, with twice as many students enrolling
in home schooling (total number of students enrolled in home
schooling = 224).
Barnstable Public Schools has 408 full time teachers, 83% of
whom are experienced educators. The school department’s
teacher retention rate is 90%. In total, the district has 775
employees, including all educators and support staff.
STUDENT PERFORMANCE ON MCAS
The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on the
2020-21 school year. MCAS data reported below may have been
affected by the pandemic. The Department of Elementary and
Secondary Education (DESE) has asked communities to please
keep this in mind when reviewing the data, and take particular
care when comparing data over multiple school years.
Below is the percentage of students scoring at each
achievement level on the English language arts, mathematics,
and science MCAS tests.
FISCAL YEAR 21 BUDGET
The school department’s FY21 operating budget was
developed to be sensitive to the impacts COVID-19 had on the
most vulnerable students within the district while providing a
fiscally responsible budget, all within an uncharted fiscal
environment. The department’s budget increased by $2,035,764
or 2.81%.
In FY21 the school department received $6,500,000 in grant
funding:
$5,200,000 Million was Federally funded
$978,000 was State funded
$357,000 was Locally/Privately funded
The federal, state, local and private grant funds helped
schools provide a variety of summer enrichment programs and
activities. Additionally, funds were used to increase the number
of educators and support staff, as well as purchases for Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE), supplies for the meal program,
student technology devices, software subscriptions to assist with
remote learning options, and materials to meet students’ social
and emotional learning needs.
The Enoch Cobb Trust graciously provided the BPS school
community with $250,000 to provide students with a variety of
learning experiences. Career pathways at Barnstable High School
also received a variety of grants to help implement and enhance
new and existing student experiences. With grant funds we were
able to purchase materials for C.N.A students to practice their
nursing skills. The Business/Entrepreneurship Pathway received
funding to assist with educator training, software licensing, and
implementing the school-based enterprises. The Environmental
Science Pathway received funding for lab supplies such as water
quality testing equipment, scales/meters, fish, fish food, plants,
etc. The Engineering Pathway received
funding for lab equipment such as 3D
printers. The Hospitality Pathway
received funds to purchase culinary
equipment and supplies. Each pathway
also received funding to assist with
credential certifications such as
OSHA-10, CPR/First Aid, and
ServeSafe.

Vision
The Barnstable Public Schools educates the whole child by creating a student centered
school culture that addresses students' physical, social, emotional, and academic needs
by creating a safe and healthy learning environment in which students are challenged,
supported, and engaged
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.
