A LEGACY OF CARING. Good Evening. JOHN C: KLIMM, MPA It is an honor to present my Fifth Annual State of the Town Address. TOWN MANAGER President Farnham,I thank you for your kind comments.To Father Peter Giannakopoulos, I welcome you to Town Hall and thank you for your inspiration. Your words nourish our soul. To our High School students,we thank you for your incredible performance this evening. Plato said"where there is youth,there is hope".What a fine example of that this evening.And to our own Lindsay Stranger, thank you for blessing us with such a beautiful rendition of America the Beautiful. I also want to recognize those who are responsible for making tonight possible and for keeping me on the straight and narrow, which is no easy feat, Paul Niedzwiecki, Linda Wheelden, Shirlee Oakley, Lindsay Stranger, Donald Grissom, Lynne Poyant and Kevin Foster. I remain grateful for your service. To our Town Council, School Committee and Housing Authority Members, Madam Town Clerk and Town Collector, to my fellow Town employees, distinguished members of our Legislative Delegation; County and Fire District Officials, Ladies and Gentlemen: Barnstable is a great community. A community rich in history, blessed with extraordinary natural resources. A community made up of citizens of civility, reason and hope. Citizens with a legacy of giving and a legacy of caring. Yes,we are a very special community. And our town employees and volunteers are special as well. We are teachers who spend extra time and often their own money to work with students to help them succeed. We are police officers and firefighters who risk their lives to keep us safe. We are conservation managers working to preserve valuable open space and an environment without equal on this planet for future generations to enjoy. We are public works employees working through the night to keep our roads safe. We are hundreds of dedicated volunteers serving on boards, committees and commissions in service to our Town. Our volun- teers are the backbone of this community. Tonight we honor and extend-thanks to the hundreds of men and women who give of themselves in so many ways by volunteering their talents and energies to our community. They give freely of their time out of a sense of community responsi- bility, never looking for recognition nor accolades, but only to fulfill a fundamental desire to serve. Let's take a look. Tonight we assemble to assess the state of our Town. We do so through declaration of the past,diagnosis of the present and positioning of the future.Our condition is born out of a sound financial foundation. We continue to implement cost savings measures. We do more with less and break new ground in collaborative efforts and innovative programs.In cooperation with our School Committee and our outstanding school leadership team of Tom McDonald and Glen Anderson,we made historic strides in cost-saving measures bringing more transparency to our operations.-For years, we heard you can't consolidate school and municipal operations. It just isn't done. Well, go tell Councilors Janet Joakim,Janice Barton and Rick Barry that it can't be done. Or tell Ralph Cahoon and our dedicated School Committee that. Our elected officials refused to accept the status quo. And now we're receiving calls from as close as Sandwich and Attleboro and as far away as Northampton to see how we did it.Barnstable is receiving statewide recognition for our collaborative efforts. This was accomplished because our School Committee ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 5 and Town Council dared to challenge the status quo.And speaking of our Schools,we will soon lose a true leader, a dedicated educator, administrator and colleague. After more than 33 years of service to this community, Interim Superintendent Tom McDonald is retiring from public service. His is a record of leadership, of achievement, of innovation and of cooperation that we have always deeply appreciated. He has cared for our children. Ladies and Gentlemen, please join me in recognizing and thanking our friend, Tom McDonald. Over the past year,we received the prestigious Government Finance Officers Excellence in Budgeting Award, thanks to Finance Director Mark Milne and the tireless efforts of Budget Director Bob O'Brien. We are one of only four Massachusetts communities to receive the Excellence in Financial Reporting Award, giving Barnstable national recognition. And what do the experts say about us? Out of the State's 351 cities and towns, Barnstable is one of only 17 to have a high double A plus (AA+)bond rating. And we have a Town Council,"under the lead- ership of President Hank Farnham, that clearly understands that it is time to address our major financial liabilities, our so-called budget busters, and our Council is doing just that. Our dedicated Town and District employees are second to none. They've done a terrific job at providing quality services in financially challenging times. Our Department of Public Works, under the leadership of Director Mark Ells, has given their all again this year. Staff and budget cuts for many consecutive years have left fewer and fewer people to do more and more work. But that did not stop them from completing the downtown Hyannis renewal project, opening up the solid waste facility 7 days a week, thanks to the efforts of Councilor Gary Brown, creat- ing the Water Division to oversee our Hyannis water operation, completing the renovation of the Old Town Hall and working to complete the wastewater facilities plan. Our Council's Roads Committee, under the leadership of Councilors Jim Crocker and Leah Curtis, has done yeoman's work in putting a long range roads plan together. Our Structures and Grounds Division,with Councilor Greg Milne and the Green Team, has done an outstanding job in the area of energy conservation, as they continue their crusade to use energy efficient equipment and green technologies in present and future projects. Our Police Department, under the leadership of Chief John Finnegan, has kept Barnstable safe during yet another challenging year. The men and women of our Police Department work everyday in an increasingly dangerous world to protect each and every one of us. The Department continues to offer the popular Citizen's Police Academy which provides a closer look at our Police Department in what,Academy graduates say, is a most impressive operation. In addition, the department, working with Councilor Harold Tobey, continues to address the issue of racial profiling. Thanks to Councilors Tom Rugo and Janet Joakim, we continue to offer } _ ✓ programs for our youth on the issue of :r violence prevention, as well. Our Police Department is at the forefront in apply- ing for national accreditation and we continue to push community policing efforts, even with budgetary cuts. Tom Geiler and his staff at our 1 Regulatory Services Department work tirelessly to protect the health of our citizens, the quality of our environment g and the safety of our consumers. With a high level of building and redevelop- ment, our Department has performed well in an orderly and professional way. 6 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 Under the leadership of Lynne Poyant, our Community Services Department continues to provide a wonderful array of services and programs for all of us; our youth, our elders, our families, and our entire community. Whether it's work on our herring runs, improvements at Sandy Neck, building a new garden level at the Senior Center or staffing an energized Youth Division, thanks to the leadership of Councilor Janice Barton, .our Community Services Department is getting the job done. Our School Department will be busy next year finalizing a long-range capital plan for our school buildings and welcoming our new Superintendent Patricia Gremer. And Ruth Weil and our Growth Management Department is busy securing millions of dollars in grant funding and coordinating our planning efforts in every village in Barnstable. As a community,we are blessed with libraries that cultivate and foster our intellect. Thank you for sustaining us. We are grateful to our Fire and Water Districts,made up of the very finest. professionals in the country,'as they work to preserve and protect our health and safety so very well. Thank you for ensuring our well-being. We continue to open the lines of communication with our citizens.More than 3,000 house- holds now receive our monthly newsletter.We continue our commitment to evaluate our work through a comprehensive annual citizen's survey. Our talk show "Talk of the Town" provides regular information about town government to our citizens and our Town Hall public informa- tion area is visited.everyday by people seeking information.In addition,our Citizens Leadership Academy, "Inside Barnstable Town Government" continues to provide a unique opportunity for our citizens to meet with staff and a great opportunity for us to listen to your concerns. When we proposed the Leadership Academy several years ago, the naysayers said it would not work. They said that people are too busy and are no longer interested in local government. Ladies and Gentlemen, its three years.and seven classes later, and residents are still lining up to take the course -we will continue to respectfully inform your discretion, listen very carefully and act responsibly. The overwhelming success of the Academy is due, not only to our professional staff, but primarily to our volunteers who have done an extraordinary job organizing our Academy each semester. I would like to acknowledge them for their outstanding commitment to our Town, please join me in our thanks to Meg Loughran and Sue French. WE'LL BE BUSY NEXT YEAR Next year, we will be as busy as ever implementing our affordable housing plan. We have approved 57 units of housing this year and plan to have over 100 approved next year. We encourage a regional discussion on affordable housing which must include the other side of the equation as well,the wages paid to workers. We must use all of the tools available to us includ- ing higher density sewered development. We must face the reality that our hard working families are struggling to afford decent and safe housing. We will work with our Community Preservation Committee to acquire open space,protect our Town's heritage and provide housing opportunities for our residents. And we will continue our effort to support a new interchange on the Mid Cape highway, Exit 6 and 1/2. We will take over the management of a new golf course providing recreational opportuni- ties to hundreds of our residents. In FY 2007,we will also introduce several new initiatives designed to be responsive to your concerns. COMMUNITY OUTREACH First, community outreach will be a priority with new television programming, more public meetings, including our successful visioning sessions in the villages and a greater use of our website to meet the specialized needs of our citizens. Starting this evening, we enter the world of streaming media, or broadcasting our meetings over the internet. We know that you ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 7 are busy with the challenges of daily life and aren't always free to watch a meeting live or even when it is repeated on TV. And a growing number of us are served by a satellite dish and don't have cable TV at all. But what if you could listen to a meeting live or replay it on the town's website, at your convenience, 24 hours a day? And what if you could select only the portion of a meeting you're most interested in, if your time is limited? If something is happening in your neighborhood or town that is of interest to you, but you don't have cable TV or happen to be on a business trip or at a seasonal residence, soon you will be able to turn to the town's website and enjoy the show. SUPPORTING OUR YOUTH Second,due to the significant efforts of Councilor Janice Barton,we will support initiatives designed to increase our outreach to our most valuable resource, our young people. The Barnstable Youth Commission is energized and working on a wide variety of activities for and by our youth with such activities as the Peace Breakfast, No Place For Hate Initiative and the renewed Youth at Mall Nights. Councilor Barton,you have done an excellent job with our Youth Commission and our community appreciates your efforts. ZONING ENFORCEMENT Next, we will propose a.package of reforms to effectively address citizen concerns regard- ing zoning enforcement. Thanks to Councilors Chirigotis, Curtis,Joakim,Brown, Canedy and Munafo, we have made this a priority. We have heard, all too often, that when residents have forwarded zoning enforcement complaints to us that they have not been satisfied with our response.We hear you and we will offer you a comprehensive package including new measures regarding overcrowding in our neighborhoods. TRAFFIC CONGESTION: AND THE ANSWER IS? Every year, our citizens tell us that traffic congestion is THE major issue that detracts from our high quality of life in Barnstable. But how have we responded? Route 28 and Route 132 are listed in this year's citizen's survey as the worst of our arteries. Unfortunately, proposals in the past,including the hard work of Councilor Rick Barry's Route 132 Vision Committee,have gone unanswered. We know that there are at least two ways to deal with this issue, improve road capacity and/or manage new growth on our major arteries so that the problem doesn't worsen. In FY 2007, we will propose a new package of reforms, using all the tools at our disposal, to address the issue of traffic congestion. We need performance based zoning and other tools to get the job done. Almost 80% of our citizens list traffic congestion as the major concern in our annual survey. It's time for us to be more responsive to their concerns. SMART GROWTH IN BARNSTABLE We will also continue to work with our Planning Board completing our Local Comprehensive Plan,a blueprint for our future. This past year has been a watershed year for us in the area of growth management including the design and implementation of our smart growth program in downtown Hyannis. Working with the Business Improvement District, the Hyannis and Cape Cod Chambers of Commerce and our Civic Associations, we have forged ahead with a real plan of action. Due to the impressive work of Assistant Town Manager Paul Niedzwiecki,Director Ruth Weil and the entire Growth Management Department and the Cape Cod Commission,we have come light years in changing the attitudes of would-be investors and property owners in Hyannis. Over the next few years,we will witness private sector investment of$30-40 million dollars or more in the Downtown Hyannis area because of these efforts. We are working with our community partners the Cape Cod Community College, Cape Cod Hospital, and others to improve the quality of life for Barnstable residents. 8 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 A REGIONAL APPROACH TO REGIONAL ISSUES Next,we will continue to work closely with Barnstable County government. We have part- nered with the Cape Cod Commission on our growth incentive zone in Hyannis. We will work with our County Commissioners, the Business Roundtable and the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce on the thorny issue of wastewater management. And we will do our part with the - County to more effectively address the challenges of our homeless population. We also look forward to working with our County Commissioners and with our Assembly of Delegates,Speaker Tom Bernardo,Tom Lynch,Marcia King and others, to work on new ways to provide services regionally rather than separately as 15 individual towns. We are already working on many fronts regionally. Veterans Agent Larry Chase does a remarkable job coordi- nating veterans' services regionally, our Regulatory Services Department provides weights and measures services to many towns and we now provide building and conservation services to our sister towns as well. And turning to Boston, we are so fortunate to have a legislative delegation with which we enjoy such a terrific relationship.Our delegation is there for us day and night and we value your service to our community. Ladies and Gentlemen,I'd like to recognize and thank our legislative delegation,Senators Terry Murray and Rob O'Leary and our Representatives Demetrius Atsalis, Matt Patrick and Jeff Perry, along with our good friend, Representative Cleon Turner from Dennis. THE GOAL OF FINANCIAL STABILITY Next, we need to do something for future generations. When I think of securing a better future, I think of the many people who have given us a lifetime of public service. While some are gone, their contributions will never be forgotten. Citizens who understood that citizenship means so much more than voting on election day. We lost two dear friends recently who both gave many years of service to us, Shirley Flynn and John Rosario. They possessed the true spirit of volunteerism and public service and we are forever a better community for their efforts. They are our models of citizenship, each with an extraordinary capacity to help us, to teach us, to lead us with their example of unselfish commitment and dedication to our community—they left the world better than they found it. We remember them tonight with deep affection. John and Shirley both believed in working towards a better future. They believed in Barnstable and they chose to make a difference everyday. Please join me in recognizing Mrs. Hilda Rosario and members of the Rosario Family and Martin Flynn and members of the Flynn family who have joined us this evening. To guarantee a brighter future, we need a responsible and .stable financial position. We know that Barnstable, like every other community in Massachusetts, has several capital item budget-busters that we are not fully addressing. All too often,we take the most difficult issues and set them aside hoping they will go away. The problem is that our inaction is costing future generations millions of dollars. Issues such as our roads, both public and private, wastewater management and the condition of our public buildings are our budget-busters. Our Town Council has taken an important first step in support of a plan to fund public road repairs. It is now time to take the next step in addressing the issue of private roads, as well. SUPPORTING THE ARTS And finally, we'll see new cultural arts initiatives in Barnstable in 2007 because we under- stand the importance of the arts to the quality of our lives. Next year,we will see the results of our public arts charettes in Hyannis put into action, we'll see live theater in Aselton Park, a thriving Harbor Your Arts Program at Bismore Park and participation in the new Whale Trail, as well. But why don't we really get serious about our commitment to the Arts. Hyannis IS the center of activity, the hub of Cape Cod. Any thriving downtown area in this country is alive with an array of cultural arts activities.What we need is a Performing Arts Center on Cape Cod. ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 9 A world class Performing Arts Center. Right here. A Performing Arts Center in downtown Hyannis. Sound impossible? Just watch. Ladies and Gentlemen: Barnstable is a dynamic and thriving community. But we face many challenges. They are substantial and complex and our responses must be thoughtful and effec- tive. We recognize that the more involved our citizens are, the stronger our community is. We encourage you to get involved. Sign up for our newsletter, attend the Leadership Academy,watch our television programming,volunteer for a committee or commission or call or email our staff.with a suggestion or comment. We know that everyone of us has something to contribute, to make Barnstable a better place to live. We also know that we, in government, have a responsibility to lead. Our issues are rarely easy and the answers are often complex and costly. These days, it's becoming easier to take no action, rather than to face barbs and criticisms of those who benefit from the status quo. We know that inaction is not an option. We know that failure is not an option. Our time is growing short in addressing the many challenges we face.We must make sure we remain finan- cially stable and we must address the issues of zoning enforcement, traffic congestion, and preserving the uniqueness of Cape Cod. But we know that God put us on this earth in a very special place. We are so privileged to call Cape Cod home. We have witnessed many changes over the years but we still know that Cape Cod is without equal.We must protect the quality of our coastal areas,manage growth in a way that preserves our uniqueness and we must plan for our future. Barnstable has seen much change over the years. Now is it OUR time to write the crucial chapter in planning that future. We must put special interests aside for the common good.We must fight for our town. Barnstable is our shining city by the sea. A unique area that is a draw worldwide.We have a profound responsibility to protect and preserve. And so, Ladies and Gentlemen, I ask you this evening, are we doing our part? Have we fulfilled our responsibilities to ourselves? Have we been truthful to future generations so that they might enjoy Cape Cod as all of us have? Our legacy is being shaped by our actions today. And in the end, if we act responsibly, all we can say, all we need to say, is that we did our part. And as we walk away from our service to our community,we will smile with the knowledge that we met our challenges with bold action. We protected and enhanced our small part of this universe. This special place we ---'" call home.Barnstable. Our very special place on earth. Our shining city by the sea. John Rosario and Shirley Flynn ' #• believed in Barnstable. They r,, were right. Barnstable is worth - - fighting for. John and Shirley V did their part. Now it is OUR turn. It is OUR turn to fulfill our obligations, to meet our responsibilities, to finish John and Shirley's work. Join us. G k' RX Help us. Let's get the job done! CUM THANK YOU. 10 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 Report of the Town Council The Barnstable Town Council, a thirteen member elected body, is the legislative and policy- making branch of Barnstable town government. The council develops, adopts and enacts policies and ordinances,which it believes promote and enhance the general welfare of the town. Meetings are held on the first and third Thursday of every month except in the months of July and August when only one meeting each month is held. The Council's deliberative actions in Fiscal Year 2006 caused the advancement of topical and substantive issues which will improve the quality of life for both"present and future gener- ations of Barnstable citizens. Some of the significant initiatives included-- The electorate, in a nonbinding ballot question, supported a split real estate tax rate. Consistent with the sentiment of the electorate as expressed at the ballot box, the Council approved a different tax rate for commercial and residential properties, representing a 15 percent shift from residential to commercial property. The council also adopted a 20 percent residential exemption, shifting some taxes from primary residents to second homes. And final- ly, the council approved a 10 percent small business exemption. Revitalization of downtown Hyannis continued to maintain a significant presence in Town Council proceedings. Prominent among initiatives to continue the downtown Hyannis renais- sance was the passage of legislation to relieve the downtown area from the regulatory constraints of the Cape Cod Commission. In accord with the effort to reduce said regulatory constraints, the Council passed a regulatory agreement ordinance which will significantly enhance Hyannis downtown redevelopment. The regulatory agreement ordinance authorizes the Town-of Barnstable to enter into voluntary regulatory agreements with individual develop- ers. Each regulatory agreement will establish how property will be devel- oped and the types of mitigation that .the developer will provide in exchange for permission to develop the property in the manner proposed. II . .we are a The result provides a developer greater flexibility and increased density. Concerns about the adverse environmental and health and safety impacts resulting from overcrowding of single-family homes caused the community of town council to pass an ordinance aimed at curbing overcrowded housing. It was recognized that the problem negatively affects the quality of life in reason civility many neighborhoods. The comprehensive occupancy ordinance is a means to limit the number of occupants in single family dwellings so that they do not evolve into overcrowded structures which create health and and hope. II safety concerns for both the residents and the neighborhood. This ordi- nance allows the town to regulate the number of persons who reside in residential dwellings as well as the number of motor vehicles at these dwellings thereby maintaining the character of the neighborhood. Other provisions of the ordinance require that all rental units within the town be registered with and inspected by the Barnstable Health Department. Inspectors will check for smoke alarms and carbon-monoxide detectors and will calculate the maximum number of people, bedrooms and motor vehicles allowed at a particular residence based on nitrogen-loading limitations and septic system capac- ity. The ordinance is to be enforced at every property, regardless of whether it is a rental or an owner-occupied property. , The Town Council adopted an ordinance that no person or business entity conducting any retail business shall be open for business to the public between the hours of 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. without the prior approval of the Town Manager. The purpose of this ordinance is to control noise and promote the public peace, and nighttime tranquility. Over the course of the past several years there has been a growing problem with large groups gathering outside of retail establishments late at night, particularly in the Hyannis area. During these hours significant resources of the Barnstable Police Department were devoted to policing these groups and responding to accompanying complaints.'This resulted in minimal coverage for the remainder of the villages as Department resources were stretched to the limit. There had been a voluntary ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 11 closing in place for the past two years that at times worked extremely well, however retail businesses had not been consistent in their closing and several had opened back up. The adop- tion of the so-called curfew ordinance is intended to level the playing field for all,and allow the Town Manager some flexibility to issue permits for retail establishments that are not contribut- ing to the problem. A final piece of business in the FY 2006 Fiscal Year was the Town Council vote to fund the acquisition of the Zion Union Church property on 276 North Street in Hyannis. The project goal is to preserve the historical structure,built in 1909, as a museum dedicated to celebrating the cultural and ethnic diversity of our community and the rich history created by people of color on Cape Cod. This acquisition will protect and preserve an historic resource of cultural and spiritual significance. The preservation of the building and the creation of a museum will provide public benefit by adding tours to visit the site. Tribute needs to be paid to both the Community Preservation Committee and the Lyndon Paul Lorusso Foundation for their kind- ness and generosity. The Lorusso Foundation has again been extraordinarily generous to the Town of Barnstable, contributing $250,000 in matching grants and an additional $150,000 for operating expenses of the museum. The coming together of so many diverse parts of our community over this project has revealed the character of our town--we are, indeed, a commu- nity of reason, civility and hope. And lastly, in the spring and early summer of FY 2006, the Council appointed scores of citizens to town boards and commissions. There are some 45 Boards and Commissions in Barnstable on which civic-minded citizens serve in an advisory or regulatory role. The boards and commissions play a critically important role in our town government. The council remains grateful to each and every citizen who volunteers his or her time in service to the Town-thank you! Respectfully submitted, Henry C.

The department also continues to move towards state and national accreditation, recently complet- ing its initial assessment. Many other programs have been enhanced over this same period of time. I would also like to take this time to remember Patrol Officer Armando Feliciano who is currently serving with the United States Marine Corps in Iraq. PROMOTIONS: Detective Michael J. Clark and Patrol Officer John F. Murphy were promoted to the rank of Sergeant. NEW OFFICERS: Christopher Willis and Brendon Burchell were hired as new officers and are currently attending the basic recruit training academy. NON-SWORN EMPLOYEES: The Barnstable Police Department hired and trained Adriana Fagan, Rachel Moniz and Robert Quirk as Telecommunication Specialists/jail Assistants. Adriana Fagan is also our first multilingual Telecommunication Specialist and is fluent in Portuguese. The department also hired Bernadette Ponce as a Department Assistant and Danielle Short as an Administrative Assistant. TECHNOLOGY ENHANCEMENTS: The department has made several significant enhancements in technology over the past year. Included in these enhancements was a major upgrade to the departments aging computer system, installation of an in-house video recording and security system, and the upgrading of the department's mobile command post by the addition of a state police helicopter video down link and interoperability radio system. FALSE ALARM REDUCTION PROGRAM: In an effort to reduce the number of false alarms throughout the Town of Barnstable, the Barnstable Police Department initiated a new false alarm reduction program in December of 2004. This action was taken due to the large number of false alarms responded to by Barnstable Police Officers (approximately 5,000 in 2003). The amended law requires all residential and non-residential alarm users register their alarm systems with the Barnstable Police Department every two years. All alarms, whether monitored by an alarm company or not monitored by an alarm company, must be registered. We are currently coming to the close of our first annual false alarm registration period. We have seen tremendous success in our false alarm reduction efforts. Overall, our statistics show a twenty percent decrease over the last two years in false alarm calls for service. As our alarm calls for service have taken a significant decline our officers now have additional time to pursue their community policing activities. The first registration period will end December 31, 2006. Renewal registration forms are available on our website,www.barnstablenolice.com. or you may pick up a registration form at the Police Department Facility, 1200 Phinney's Lane,Hyannis,MA or at the Town Clerk's Office, 367 Main Street,Hyannis,MA. Please read the instructions carefully to ensure proper registra- tion of your system. SEX OFFENDER VERIFICATION: The Barnstable Police Department continues to monitor all sex offenders who live and work in our Town. Barnstable Police officers visit each sex offender's home no less that two times per year for verification purposes. The Department continues to work with other Cape ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 1 19 law enforcement agencies to share information on all sex offenders who live and work on the Cape. Sex offender information is updated daily on our website regarding Level 3 sex offenders at www.barnstablepolice.com. Only Level 3 sex offender information can be posted on our website per Massachusetts General law. Information regarding Level 2 offenders can be obtained, however by a personal visit to the Barnstable Police Department Facility. Identification is required. TRIAD: The Town of Barnstable Triad, a collaborative effort between law enforcement, social serv- ices and seniors, met on the second Thursday of the month (September through June) at the Barnstable Senior Center. The Triad and S.A.L.T. (Seniors and Law Enforcement Together) continued to support the issuance of File of Life packets to seniors in the community.The Group is in the process of final- izing a funding source to renew their supply of File of Life packets. Triad continued on a multi- year project of the identification and notification to homeowners of improperly numbered houses. The group completed a check of all parcels in the villages of Cotuit, Marstons Mills, Osterville, Centerville and Barnstable, covering 17,593 parcels. If a house is not numbered in compliance with the Town ordinance a letter is sent out to the homeowner advising them how to better number their house. The ability of emergency response personnel to find a home quickly is tremendously diminished if the house in not numbered or if the number is not visible from the street. The Town of Barnstable TRIAD also sponsored a lecture series of topics of concern and relativity to seniors: Lecture topics covered were: Disaster Preparedness, Financial Crime, Traffic/Senior Driving Safety, How to Contact the Police, and Securities Crime. More lectures will be offered in the coming year. The Town of Barnstable TRIAD has a web page at wwwbarn- stabletriad.oru_,which provides updates of projects the group is currently working on.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE UNIT: The Domestic Violence Unit was able to obtain a state funded grant for the purpose of train- ing Barnstable Police Officers in the Brazilian Portuguese Language. Four officers recently com- pleted the entry-level course at Cape Cod Community College and will be returning in the fall for the continuation of this program. . CITIZEN'S POLICE ACADEMY: The Citizen's Police Academy graduated two classes during the year. The graduates spent many hours becoming familiar with the operations of the Department and have certainly learned what a Barnstable Police Officer's job entails. Over 450 citizens have graduated from this program. Instructors at these academies volunteer their time. I would like to thank all the members of the Barnstable Police Department and guest instructors for their continued inter- est,participation,and dedication to this program.Without their continued interest and support the program would not be the success it is today. STUDENT POLICE ACADEMY: The Student Police Academy was once again conducted for students at the Barnstable High School. School Resource Officer Reid N. Hall coordinates this program. This program has been in effect for several years and is one of more popular classes at the high school. TRAINING: In 2006 the Barnstable Police Department instituted National Incident Management Training systems for all department members and other essential town personnel. The depart- ment also hosted a wide variety of training sessions including leadership training, airport security, and accident reconstruction training. The department continues to participate in the yearly training, which is conducted by the Cape Cod Regional Law Enforcement Council. ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 21 KIDS DAY: The Barnstable Police Department hosted the 9th annual Kids Day. Along with the Towns five fire departments and other police agencies, the Kids Day event was once again a success. The days events included both.K-9 and SWAT demonstrations as well as many hands-on police and fire department displays. Over 1,000 hot dogs, sodas, and ice creams were handed out and the first 1,000 kids got backpacks with beach balls and water bottles. We also had a free raffle where 10 lucky kids got new bicycles and helmets. The Barnstable Police Department is espe- cially proud of this event because it helps build a bond between the public safety officers and children in our community. In conclusion, I would like to thank all the members of the Barnstable Police Department. Without their dedication and professionalism none of these initiatives would be possible.

The Department has been effective in meeting the challenge of continual increases in service demands with limited resources. We remain focused on our primary goal when allocat- ing resources for operational and capital needs of the Department. ADMINISTRATION AND TECHNICAL SERVICES DIVISION With the completion of the revitalization of downtown Hyannis, the Senior Project Manager of Roads and Drainage shifted efforts to other major road reconstruction and drainage improvement projects such as the reconstruction of Old Falmouth Road in Marstons Mills.

The Department is comprised of six functions: Regulatory Review, Comprehensive Planning, Community Development, Economic Development,Property Management,and Traffic and Parking Management. Organization of the Department is envisioned as a team effort where responsibilities and duties are shared between staff, assuring issues are addressed from a multi- disciplinary perspective. ORGANIZATION CHART Regulatory , Review Function Property Comprehensive Management Planning Function \ Function GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT Traffic & Parking Community Management Development Function Function Economic ` Development Function MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS Recognizing that addressing quality of life issues surrounding growth was a high priority for town residents, the Town Council in September, 2005 took the innovative step of creating the Growth Management Department. The Department's interdisciplinary structure is aimed at breaking down silos between departments to increase efficiency and productivity. The excitement and energy generated through the formation of this new Department has lead to measurable results in a short period of time. 28 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 Tremendous credit for the Department's early successes must be given to Town Manager John Klimm and Assistant Town Manager Paul Niedzwiecki who are passionately committed, both personally and professionally, to ensuring that what makes Barnstable an exceptional place for residents and visitors is sustained and preserved for future generations. In the Department's nascent stages, the Town Manager and Assistant Town Manager articulated a clear vision and provided the inspiration, motivation and creative force which resulted in the accomplishments listed here.Additionally,I want to extend my personal gratitude to Town Attorney Robert Smith who has been a wise and invaluable mentor and who has provided much support and guidance to the Growth Management Department.Finally,I am privileged to work with a gifted,resource- ful and dedicated staff that has more than risen to the challenges associated with the creation of a new department. • DESIGN AND INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN: The rezoning of downtown Hyannis passed by the Town Council in July, 2005 required the approval of a Design and Infrastructure Plan by the Planning Board.The Department prepared a comprehensive and readable plan which not only serves as a tool for implementing regula- tions for zoning but also as a user-friendly guide for developers and the community. The Department's efforts have been recognized by the American Planning Association — Massachusetts Chapter, who awarded the Town of Barnstable its Comprehensive Planning Award on December 9, 2005. • PASSAGE OF THE REGULATORY AGREEMENT ORDINANCE: The passage of the Regulatory Agreement Ordinance is an important piece of the Town's downtown Hyannis revitalization efforts. It establishes a voluntary public process under which the Town and the developer can enter into a detailed agreement for the development of a particular site in a manner which meets the town's needs. • PREPARATION OF GROWTH INCENTIVE ZONE APPLICATION TO THE CAPE COD COMMISSION FOR DOWNTOWN HYANNIS: Synthesizing a variety of studies that the Town has undertaken over the years, the Town's one-hundred-plus page Growth Incentive Zone application is a road map for sustainable devel- opmentin Downtown Hyannis. The approval of downtown Hyannis as a Growth Incentive Zone by the Cape Cod Commission cleared the path for the vote by the Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates to change the Development of Regional Impact(DRI) thresholds for the Growth Incentive Zone so that all permitting in that area will now be conducted locally. • SECURING ADDITIONAL FUNDING THROUGH GRANTS: The Department has launched an aggressive campaign to supplement its budget through grants. To date, the Department has been awarded a$1,000,000 grant under the Community Development Action (CDAG), a $75,000 grant from Barnstable County under the Regional Economic Development Pilot Program, a $30,000 grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and a $2,000 grant from the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod. • ASSISTING IN THE CREATION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING: During FY 2006, the Department was involved in the permitting of a total of 95 affordable housing units with 39 units being created through the Accessory Affordable Apartment Program, 31 permitted through Chapter 40B, the comprehensive permit law, 12 through the PIAHD special permit process, 4 through the Town's Inclusionary Affordable Housing Ordinance and 4 through the contribution of town land and grant funds. ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 29 • EXPANSION OF HARBOR YOUR ARTS PROGRAM: Inspired by the success of the seven artist shanties installed at Bismore Park, which was a 2005 initiative of the Town Manager's office, the Department conducted several community charrettes to identify where our residents wanted to incorporate arts and cultural activities in Hyannis,including locations for public art.Based upon input from these community sessions, the BUOYED Coast temporary art installation was created at Aselton Park and a temporary stage was constructed which, during the summer of 2006, hosted weekly musical perform- ances as well as weekly theater productions including "A Midsummer Night's Dream." • COMPREHENSIVE OCCUPANCY ORDINANCES: To address the environmental and neighborhood impacts that overcrowding in residential dwellings has caused, the Department, at the request of the Town Council, prepared several ordinances, including a rental registration ordinance. Implementation of these ordinances will commence in FY 2007. • TECHNICAL AND STAFF SUPPORT TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS: The Growth Management Department provides technical and staff support for eleven of the the Town's Boards and Commissions, to wit: the Planning Board, the Zoning Board of Appeals, the Community Preservation Committee, the Housing Committee, the Hyannis Historic Waterfront District Committee and its Appeals Committee, the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District Committee, the Barnstable Historical Commission, the Barnstable Economic Development Commission and the Water Quality Advisory Committee. DESCRIPTION OF THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT Below is a description of the six functions which comprise the Growth Management Department. In reading it, please be mindful that these divisions are somewhat artificial and that the whole design of the Department is to promote a multi-disciplinary approach, so that there is daily interaction and cross-pollination between the various functions. Many projects involve participation by staff from a variety of disciplines. COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING Comprehensive Planning is responsible for identifying, analyzing and planning for the Town's long-term needs as they relate to commercial and economic development, the preserva- tion and enhancement of natural and historic resources and the provision of adequate public facilities and infrastructure. Under the direction of Attorney Patty Daley, one of comprehensive planning's primary focuses has been to use a variety of planning tools to spur the revitalization of downtown Hyannis. The number of zoning districts has been reduced from fourteen to seven,with mixed uses and housing encouraged in all but one of the zoning districts.A Design and Infrastructure Plan has been implemented which clearly delineates and illustrates the types of design and best management practices that the Town deems desirable. In this regard, the addition of Kate Kennen, a landscape architect and design specialist, to staff has been an important component of the Town's comprehensive planning efforts. The regulatory terrain for land-use permits has been streamlined through the historic adop- tion of the Growth Incentive Zone for Downtown Hyannis, which eliminates the Cape Cod Commission from the permitting process consistent with the terms of the ordinance adopted by the Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates. With the passage of the Regulatory Agreement Ordinance, currently only available within the Growth Incentive Zone, the Town and the prop- 30 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 erty-owner are able to enter into a voluntary agreement that is recommended by the Planning Board and approved by the Town Council, which establishes how a particular parcel can be developed. Proposed revisions to the town's 1997 Local Comprehensive Plan are moving forward. One method of obtaining input from the town's residents has been to conduct visioning sessions in several of the villages. The involvement of comprehensive planning in the town's long-term infrastructure projects, such as the Wastewater Facilities Plan, is designed to ensure better coordination between Town departments.

REGULATORY REVIEW The Regulatory Review Function is led by its Director Thomas A. Broadrick, AICP, who is assisted by two Principal Planners, Jackie Etsten, AICP and Art Traczyk; Site Plan Review/ Planning Board Coordinator Ellen Swiniarski; and three Administrative Assistants Patty Mackey, Danielle St. Peter and Carol Puckett. You will note in reading- the reports of the Planning Board,Zoning Board of Appeals,Barnstable Historic Commission,Old King's Highway Regional Historic District Committee and the Hyannis Main Street Waterfront Historic District ,Commission that they are all supported by the staff of the Regulatory Review Function and that the Town of Barnstable is well served by its volunteer/elected boards,commissions, committees and by the professional staff who advise them. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT The mission of the Community Development Function is to renew and strengthen neigh- borhoods by encouraging livability and diversity and by supporting the creation of affordable housing opportunities throughout the Town. �1 ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 31 Specifically, the Community Development staff is dedicated to the following programs; the administration of the Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)program;the preservation and production of affordable housing; and additionally, in an effort to spur economic develop- ment, the promotion of local arts and culture activities has been embraced. Kathleen Girouard, Community and Economic Development Coordinator, Elizabeth Dillen, Special Projects Coordinator and Madeline Taylor,Accessory Affordable Apartment Program Coordinator, have been primarily responsible for these initiatives. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) The Community Development Block Grant program is a federal grant funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to support community development programs that provide decent affordable housing, suitable living environments, and expanding economic opportunities for low and moderate income persons. The Town developed a Five Year Consolidated Plan for 2005 to 2009 outlining the priorities for the program and has determined affordable housing as the number one priority. Each year, the Town develops an Annual Action Plan detailing the programs that will receive funding to meet its five year goals. Upon year end, the Town prepares the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) detailing the accomplishments each year. In FY 2006 (Program year 2005), the Town received CDBG funds in the amount of $402,455, which was allocated to the following programs: Accessory Affordable Apartment Program (AAAP), ADA/Handicap Accessibility Program, Rental Housing Acquisition Program, Affordable Housing Development Assistance and Public Services. ACCOMPLISHMENTS: • Increase the number of affordable homeownership units— 7 single-family homes on one acre lots were made available to income eligible families in Marstons Mills through the Affordable Housing Development Assistance program • Increase the number of affordable rental units—2 affordable units were acquired through our Rental Housing Acquisition Program,benefiting two income eligible families, one of which is located in a newly developed mixed-use building on Main Street in Hyannis 39 Accessory Affordable Apartments were added to the Subsidized Housing Inventory • Handicapped access was added to a private residence to improve the quality of life for an extremely low-income, disabled resident • Improvements to our Main Street in downtown Hyannis included making it accessible to people with disabilities • The JFK Hyannis Museum in Barnstable Old Town Hall was made accessible to all with new ramps, elevator and accessible restrooms • Cape Head Injured Person's Housing& Education Group expanded its services and housing units from 9 to 19 persons through our Public Service program The Town is expecting $361,963 for FY 2007, and will continue to fund programs that increase the supply of affordable housing units; comply with the American Disabilities Act and improve access to facilities and services; and eligible public services with a preference to those that provide housing to at-risk populations.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING Affordable housing is one of the most important issues currently facing the Town of Barnstable and its residents. Studies have consistently shown that in recent years a lack of affordable housing 1 32 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 is a major prohibitive factor for talented workers to stay and/or locate in the area. Community Development staff, together with the Barnstable Housing Committee, is dedicated to encouraging and facilitating the production of new affordable housing and the preservation of existing affordable housing throughout the Town of Barnstable. ACCOMPLISHMENTS: • During FY 2006, the Town of Barnstable permitted a total of 95 affordable housing units through the Accessory Affordable Apartment Program, the Inclusionary Zoning ordinance, the Chapter 40B Comprehensive Permit process, the PIAHD special permit process and the contribution of town land and grant funds. The permitting of these units raised the Town's total percentage of affordable housing to 6.8% • A total of 95 affordable housing units were permitted in Barnstable in FY 2006 • 36 affordable housing units were permitted through the Chapter 40B Comprehensive Permit process. This includes 31 single-family homes in Cotuit and five single-family homes in Hyannis • 4 affordable units, including two condominiums in Centerville and two in Hyannis, were permitted through the Town's Inclusionary Zoning ordinance • 12 affordable single family homes in Hyannis were permitted through the PIAHD Special Permit process • 4 affordable single-family homes were built in Marstons Mills on land originally donated by the Town and with financial assistance under the Town's CBDG program • 39 affordable units were permitted through the Town's Accessory Affordable Apartment Program ACCESSORY AFFORDABLE APARTMENT PROGRAM The Accessory Affordable Apartment Program is one component of the Town of Barnstable's overall Affordable Housing Plan. The program encourages the use of existing housing to create affordable units and the dispersal of these units throughout the seven villages. Since its incep- tion, the main objective of the program has been to provide affordable, safe and legal housing for low and moderate income residents while building positive working relationships between the Town and property owners. In order for a single-family property to be eligible for the program, it must be owner- occupied and contain either a pre-existing unpermitted unit, or the owner may create a new unit within a new or existing attached structure or within an existing detached structure.Multi- family properties must be legally permitted as a multi-family dwelling,but contain one or more units above the number permitted. As of June 30, 2006, a total of 137 units have been added to the Town of Barnstable's Subsidized Housing Inventory through the Accessory Affordable Apartment Program. The program has made a significant contribution to the 6.8%of housing in Barnstable that qualifies as affordable. It is our hope that in the coming year we can continue to have a positive impact in the creation of affordable housing units,as part of our ongoing effort to reach our stated 10% goal. In FY 2006, a total of ten public Accessory Affordable Apartment Program hearings were held before the Zoning Board of Appeal's Hearing Officer, Gail Nightingale. After a careful review of each application, a total of 39 units were added to the Town's subsidized housing inventory. These units were spread throughout the seven villages as follows: Centerville 11. Cotuit 5 Hyannis 15 Marstons Mills 3 Osterville 3 i West Barnstable 2 ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 33 Six of these units were to be newly constructed and the remaining were existing or "amnesty" units. The addition of these amnesty units into the Program is largely due to the efforts of the Town's Amnesty Apartment Investigator, Linda Edson, who is to be commended for her diligence in seeking out unpermitted, illegal units throughout the town. As long as the designated affordable unit exists as'a legally permitted dwelling, it will remain subject to the restrictions on qualifying tenants and rent levels. The deed restriction is revocable upon the sale of the property, or if the owner voluntarily chooses to cancel the comprehensive permit, in which case the property must be brought into compliance with the underlying zoning. All of the properties in the program are monitored annually to verify compliance with the terms of the comprehensive permit. The program monitoring also provides valuable informa- tion relative to the affordability of the units and who is benefiting from them. Currently, the average rent, including utilities, is $693 for a studio apartment, $737 for a one-bedroom unit and$906 for a two-bedroom unit. This is considerably lower than the market rate rentals in the area and so the program continues to be successful in providing a much needed resource to qualified town residents. For more information on the Accessory Affordable Apartment Program or to request a brochure please contact Madeline Taylor, Program Coordinator, at 50-862-4743 or email madeline.tavlor@town.barnstable.ma.us. *This Program is funded by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Bloch Grant Program. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT This Function provides the leadership and professional expertise to develop and implement a comprehensive economic development plan based on the economic_development policies outlined in the Local Comprehensive Plan. This year, arts and culture initiatives have been a major component of the town's economic development strategy. ARTS AND CULTURE The Town of Barnstable recognizes the importance of arts and culture as part of any economic revitalization, and is continuing its efforts to establish Hyannis as a regional center for creative and performing arts. The staff,with strong support from the Town Manager's office, spearheaded several exciting visual and performing arts initiatives during FY 2006, including an expansion of the successful Harbor Your Arts Program on Bismore Park, the creation of the first Annual Harbor Your Arts Free Summer Performing Arts Series on Aselton Park, and the installation of several public art pieces. • HARnOR YOUR ARTS ► Bismore Park— Visual Arts Harbor Your Arts (HyA) was the pioneer program that introduced the Town's commitment to arts and culture in downtown Hyannis. In 2005, under the aegis of the Town Manager's office,the town designed and built a boardwalk and installed seven artist shanties on °"""" Hyannis Harbor. The seven shanties hosted eleven juried local artists and artisans from late June to mid-October. The program was very well received by Cape residents, visitors, and the arts and culture community. 34 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 In FY 2006, the program was expanded to host both new and returning artists for a total of 15 local,juried artists from late May through September 30, 2006. In addition, partnering with the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod(AFCC),the Guyer Barn Gallery&Arts Center, Cape Cod Art Association (CCAA), the Hyannis Area Chamber of Commerce (HACC), and the Hyannis Business Improvement District (BID), and collaborating with the Cape Cod Chambers of Commerce has proven success that secured grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council John & Abigail Adams Grant program, the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, and the County Regional Economic Development grant. This partnership also contributed by developing and hosting a website detailing the program which can be viewed at www.harboryourarts.com. The link to the artist shanties intro- duces you to the artists, their work, and this beautiful area to enjoy fine local artworks. ► Aselton Park - Performing Arts After securing grant funds through the Massachusetts Cultural Council's John and Abigail Adams Grant, the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, and the Barnstable County Regional Economic Development Partnership Grant,the Town expanded the Harbor Your Arts Program in FY 2006 to include the performing arts. Staff oversaw the design and construction of a seasonal performing arts, venue at Aselton Park, a beautiful,underutilized waterfront location on Hyannis Harbor. The staff then coordinated with various local performing artists and organizations to implement . the First Annual Harbor Your Arts Free Summer Performing Arts Series. The series pro- vides free, family-friendly theater and music performances each week throughout the summer. Citizens Bank and the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod generously sponsored the weekly Citizens Bank Summer Concerts on the Harbor Series. The performing arts venue and series have been widely acclaimed as a welcome addi- tion to Hyannis Harbor, and will likely be expanded to include more performances next season. • PUBLIC ART INSTALLATIONS The Town has also actively pursued and initiated the installation of various public art pieces in the downtown and waterfront areas of Hyannis. ► Buoyed Coasts In the summer of 2006, the Town constructed a public art installation at Aselton Park that is visible from both Ocean and South Streets. The Town developed the concept for this temporary art installation with its citizens during two public art charrettes, where community input was gathered in the Spring of 2006 and is the inspiration of staff member Kate Kennen and Assistant Town Manager Paul Niedzwiecki. The purpose of BUOYED Coasts is two-fold. First, the project helps to draw attention to the waterfront by creating a whimsical display of color, light and kinetic motion on Hyannis Harbor. Second, the project highlights a pressing need for each visitor and resident to consider how their day-to-day actions affect water quality. The Town of Barnstable has been a leader in making changes to improve water quality by planning for future growth of the town. Through planning and expansion of the Town sewer system and concentrating new growth where sewers already exist, the Town of Barnstable leads this effort Cape- wide. ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 35 / Hyannis Whale Trail Staff also worked closely with representatives of the Cape and Islands Whale Trail to site 15 of these exciting,unique public art pieces in an easily walkable route in downtown Hyannis along Main Street and down to the harbor. The Whale Trail is a major public arts and tourism event featuring 6' fiberglass whales painted by local artists. Local businesses, organizations and individuals sponsor the whale, and select a local non-profit group to benefit from the sale of their whale at auction. The whales were on display and visited by families, fans of art, and visitors to Cape Cod from May to September, 2006, when they were auctioned off to benefit local nonprofits. The Town of Barnstable played host to additional five whales located in Barnstable, Cotuit, Osterville and West Barnstable. More information on the Cape and Islands Whale Trail can be found on the web at httn://caDeandislands.thewhaletrail.com. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT Under the direction of Lindsey Counsell and with the assistance of Alisha Parker, the newly formed Property Management Function, under the Giivwdl rt Department, completed its first yc.ai with beveial iuLpUitauL piUj- w ects well under way. Principally, organization of the files, maps and I�iii ry "- _ '"" records from the Land Bank Committee, the previous Property"9W w' Management office,Ways to Water '. was undertaken. Further,computer- E based mapping and scanning of all relevant documents in the new Arc-Reader digital program was initiated. The department was assisted by three interns this past year,most notably Alden Hines who began document research and input on the town Ways to Water project. This important research project will continue to locate, document and define the long neglected town owner- ship of the many ways to water that the town has acquired over the years. The staff also handled day-to-day constituent calls regarding illegal dumping, improper ATV and motorcycle use and deployment of the County Mosquito Control personnel to deal with complaints from abutters about increased insect problems. Staff also represented the town on the joint Santuit Pond Management Committee as well as the newly created Danforth Recreation Area Management Committee. Lastly, staff worked on completing the final Land Bank purchase of the 13 acre Archibald property in Marstons Mills. In order to fulfill the terms of the $500,000 Drinking Water Supply Protection Grant the Department was previously awarded for the acquisition of the property,the area was cleared of trash and debris, graded and filled to level, a small parking lot was. created and signage was erected. 36 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TRAFFIC AND PARKING In September of 2005 under the direction of engineer and former Department of Public Works employee, Steve Seymour, P.E., the Traffic and Parking Function was initiated. Since its inception the Growth Incentive Zone parking study was completed. This study analyzed future traffic patterns to determine the intersections in the Hyannis area that would need to be improved over the next 20 years. The state funded Hyannis Access Study is underway, which will evaluate alternatives to improve traffic flow and access to Hyannis. The replacement of old obsolete parking meters in the Hyannis Harbor area was researched and recommendations for a new "Pay and Display" meter system that will accept coins, bills, and credit cards have been made. This Function also provided the following services: • The engineering review of site plans,regulatory agreements and subdivision plans, as well as the coordination of subdivision inspections • Preparation of grants to improve the Town's infrastructure • Project management of improvements to the Ocean Street sidewalks in the vicinity of Bismore Park and improvements to Aselton Park Respectfully submitted, Ruth j.

Respectfully submitted, Tom Geiler 1 Director of Regulatory Services 38 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 BUILDING DIVISION As we take a look back to see what has been accomplished we conclude that this past year has been, again, a very active year. .This year has seen the beginning of projects which are the result of the creation of a Growth Incentive Zone in the Hyannis Main Street area. Projects on Center Street, Main Street, Ocean Street and the West end of Main Street are coming forward to take advantage of this Town ini- tiated ordinance. Cape Cod Hospital's campus project is moving forward with the Materials Management building completed and the Bed Towers extension approaching 40% completion. This division with the assistance of Information Technology Department has implemented a new permitting system. This system maintains databases of all activities that are associated with each individual parcel through out the town,and should prove to be an invaluable tool for future reference. Residential construction remains very active, as has been the trend for a number of years now,with upgrades, additions and tear downs and rebuilds to existing housing. This department conducted over 24,700 inspections and more than 14,000 citizens were assisted by members of our staff at the counter at 200 Main Street.

FY 2006 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS • In a joint effort with DPW,restored federal funding to the Stewart's Creek Restoration Project in Hyannis via $645,000 Estuary Restoration Act grant award from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers • Awarded $225,000 in other grants to support Town estuary, pond and wildlife habitat improvement projects (see below) The Conservation Division's regulatory program conducted over 673 site inspections in FY2006 in support of the Conservation Commission's effort. In addition 1,323 building permit applications were reviewed for wetland impacts, with 97% being approved over the counter. Although not reflected in any statistic herein, customer service constitutes a large part of the Division's work effort. We take pride in providing expert analysis and courteous assistance to the public, believing that it facilitates decision-making by all involved parties. The Division's land management effort greatly benefited from grant assistance provided by USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and Barnstable County through the Cape Cod Cooperative Extension Service. Wildlife habitat improvements at West Barnstable and Seabury Farm Conservation Areas, public use amenities at Seabury Farm and Santuit River, and fire management improvements at West Barnstable all were accomplished through the grants. The 10 acre Mill Pond conservation area was acquired this year through the generous assistance of project partners Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental Affairs Division of Conservation Services and Barnstable Land Trust. A management plan for this new acquisition was prepared and approved. General maintenance continued on 12 of the largest conservation parcels. Walking trail maintenance, mowing, and trash removal were provided. Several resource restoration projects received considerable attention this year. The Stewart's Creek Restoration Project in Hyannis won a second life via a successful DPW/Conservation Div. grant writing effort(Federal Estuary Habitat Act-U.S.Army Corps of Engineers). The grant was one of only 5 awarded nationwide. The joint DPW/ Conservation Division restoration project at Phinney's Bay (at Dowses Beach), Osterville was completed (generously funded by a USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service grant). The hydrilla control program at Long Pond, Centerville continued for the 4th consecutive year. A fanwort control project was conducted at Gooseberry Cove on Wequaquet Lake.Implementation began on the Lovell's Pond aeration sys- tem (generously funded by a MA EOEA Watershed Protection Grant), with the system sched- uled for operation in spring 2007. For the fifth straight year the Conservation Division coordinated the annual CoastSweep beach cleanup. Coastsweep 2005 was a very successful campaign. Progress continued toward the goal of recruiting organizations to participate in the annual cleanup of trash from every beach, lake, and landing in the Town of Barnstable.

As the name suggests, the focus is now on Procurement and Risk Management. With procurement and insurance becoming more complicated and time consuming, we now function with a supporting role in the management of real property.We continue to collect lease payments,shoul- der procurement support for land disposition or acquisition, and we handle tenant management for over 50 leases. However, the balance of the property management responsibilities has been shifted to the Growth Management Department, where other land and land use issues are handled. PROCUREMENT The Procurement section continues to support all Town Departments and Divisions as well as the School Department and enterprise operations. With the successful consolidation of the School Business Office into the Town Finance office, the activity associated with school procurement continues to increase. By offering support in bids, contract generation, sourcing information,and access to State Contracts, this section ensures that funds are spent in the most cost effective means possible. The staff also ensures the Town's compliance with the complicat- ed and extensive purchasing laws and regulations of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Key projects accomplished this year include support of the process for selecting architects for the Hyannis Youth and Community Center,as well as the architect for the design of the new Control Tower at the Barnstable Municipal Airport. We provided procurement assistance on a number of school projects including rug replacements for the charter schools, a new roof at Marstons Mills East,a water infiltration and envelope study at the Horace Mann Charter Public School 5 + 6 school, painting projects, floor tile abatement projects and the lease of a new portable at Hyannis East Elementary School. Also, the Purchasing Agent played an active and important role in the selection process for a management company to operate the Hyannis Water Company once it had been purchased by the Town. RISK MANAGEMENT The complicated world of insurance for government entities continues to suffer from the effects of the unpredictable weather and economy, making the renewal process each year more and more difficult. Hurricane threats predicted for the Cape Cod region make the insuring of municipal assets more complicated and more expensive each year. With fewer and fewer insur- ance companies willing to even consider the tremendous dollar volume of assets the Town and Schools hold and use, the renewal process involves greater documentation and creativity with each passing year. However, through hard work and thorough asset listing, we have been able to hold insur- ance premiums relatively flat for the past two years after seeing double digit increases in eacJi of the previous three years renewals. This function focuses its efforts into two distinct areas. The primary task is list,insure and protect Town assets. This includes hard assets like equipment and buildings as well as real property or land. In addition, we are tasked with the identification of liability and risk for elected officials, employees, volunteers, students and visitors. The careful selection of insur- ance coverages to minimize the chance of catastrophic losses to people and assets continues to be more complex each year as the value of the assets and the exposure to risk grows annually. The responsibilities under this heading also include specialty insurance policies for airport and police, student athlete insurance for the schools and a full coverage Workers Compensation policy. . As in years past, PRM continues to be actively involved in leasing and selling property, maintaining an accurate inventory, and making sure that Town owned assets are properly insured.With the transition of the front line functions to the Growth Management Department, ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 1 55 the role for us has evolved into a support role, but it is one that still requires extensive documentation of lease and rent payments as well as a careful understanding of property issues facing the Town. Respectfully submitted, i David W. Anthony, Chief Procurement Officer . . TREASURY OPERATIONS The Treasurer is responsible for the receipt and custodian- ship of all town funds. The Treasurer attempts to maximize s = x 5y { investment earnings and ensures payment of the Town's bills } rt to its creditors and payroll checks to all employees. P Y X The payroll operations have significantly changed this year K 'through the consolidation of town and school finance opera- tions. The production of paychecks for 2,400 employees, through a weekly and biweekly payroll, involves the coordi- nation and direction of data entry of over fifty town and school departments. Approximately seventy percent of the Town of Barnstable's annual General Fund revenue is derived from property taxes. Every effort is made to put our reserves to work. This has been a challenging proposition due to the historically low rate of return for traditional investment vehicles. Investment rates began to improve at the end of fiscal year 2005/beginning of 2006. The Town's investment policy remains conservative with particular attention to the constraints of safety and liquidity while attempting to secure the highest yield possible within those con- straints. While maintaining a highly diversified investment portfolio, the Treasurer also aims to maintain competitive investment relationships with numerous banks and other financial insti- tutions. As of the close of fiscal year 2006, these representatives numbered twelve with a balance of$87,458,254. Under the direction of the Town Manager and with input from the Trust Fund Advisory Committee, the Treasurer also oversees the investment of the Town's trust fund accounts. We currently have custodianship of twenty-two trust funds with a balance in excess of twenty million. Each trust fund has a distinct purpose and,therefore,the mix of holdings in cash,fixed income securities and equities varies by fund. The amount of annual income required and the time of disbursements generally govern this mix. My office has actively pursued the collection of delinquent real estate taxes. Through the use of payment plans and active taxpayer communication we have continued the momentum of recent years by substantially increasing delinquent tax collections. We presently have nine- teen active Land Court cases, down from a high of approximately fifty. Barnstable continues to manage its financial affairs in a prudent manner. It maintains an excellent bond rating of AA+ for borrowing purposes, allowing the town to enjoy substantial savings in financing costs and lower interest rates. Fiscal year's 2006 debt service payment totaled$14,602,815. In May,working closely with the Finance Director, the Treasurer's office issued $3,342,000 and $14,888,000 in new short- term debt. The Town also has two multi-purpose loans pending of $14,131,900 which was authorized in May, 2005 and $2,835,000 authorized in April, 2006. 56 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 Due to the departure of the previous Town Treasurer midway through the fiscal year, a lot of responsibility fell upon the Finance Director,Mark Milne,and the Assistant Treasurer,Gareth Markwell, as well as the staff within the Treasurer's office. I would like to express my appreci- ation to everyone for their additional time and expertise in an effort to maintain the level of professional service for which the Town of Barnstable is recognized. I am thankful for my warm welcome to Barnstable and I look forward to an active and productive year ahead. Respectfully submitted, Debra M. Blanchette, Treasurer ASSESSING OPERATIONS The Assessing Department d - endured a challenging time during this fiscal year, given the changes accepted ' :Y by vote of the Town Council. While ' this was an interim adjustment year for = values, new laws were placed on the -' books affecting much of the informa- pax$D o �, . tion and data gathering that this office 1. is responsible for. The acceptance of a 20% residential exemption for primary d .m homeowners, that calculated out to $100,100 of taxable value,required the sending of thousands and thousands of 4 verification letters to property uwuei5 which then required data entry to set up the initial database for the exemp- J, � . tron. This resulted in over $1.5 billion in value being exempted from the resi- dential tax rate calculation. Also accepted were a split tax rate and a small business exemption, both of which required significant work by the IT Department to program the necessary coding to ensure proper billing amounts. As a result of these changes, the town was unable to mail the actual tax bill until March 17, 2006. Also during this period, the Department of Revenue required the Assessing Department to mail out personal property Forms of List to all second homeowners,in an effort to update the average values assigned to second home personal prop- erty, which is required at least every 9 years. All these activities required extra effort and processing by the front office staff, which did an admirable job, given the volume of additional work required on top of their regular duties. With the mailing of the tax bill in March, the Assessing Department subsequently received 756 abatement requests for real estate and personal property values and applications for the small commercial business exemption. The processing of these requests resulted in 219 person- al property accounts receiving valuation reductions totaling $4,429,619, 3 small business commercial qualifications received$136,890 in reductions,35 commercial real estate properties received$12,282,316 in valuation reductions and 201 residential real estate properties received $44,321,500 in valuation reductions, for a total of$61,170,325 in valuation abatements. During this period, Assistant Assessor Gary Brennan accepted the position of Assessor for the Town of Holbrook and departed from this Department at the end of June.His nearly 19 year tenure was distinguished by his dedication to treating all taxpayers fairly and equally and his vast knowledge of the properties in the Town of Barnstable. His experience and expertise will ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 57 be impossible to replace. Assistant Assessor Jason Streebel picked up extra workload without complaint and all requests were dealt with within statutory time limits. As of e the writing of this report, a replacement for Mr. Brennan has not been selected. u r February of 2006 also brought about the retirement of R' �,` •� — Mr. Paul Matheson III. Mr. ,Jeffrey Rudziak formerly the Assessor in the Town of Oxford, was hired as Mr. Matheson's replacement and began work on Feb. 13, 2006. Mr. Matheson's diligent efforts to reduce the backlog of over 140 Appellate Tax Board cases were continued by the Department and now only four cases remain unheard by the Appellate Tax Board and are scheduled to be remanded for decision by the end of this September. Senior Assessor Jack Greene, with his vast experience at the ATB, was instrumental in preparing and presenting cases to clear up the backlog and warrants special thanks for his efforts. As of this date, the Assessing Department is progressing with a full revaluation of all prop- erty in the Town of Barnstable for fiscal year 2007 and preliminary tax bills were mailed by July 1, 2006. It is anticipated that the actual tax bills will be issued in a timely manner this year. Respectfully submitted, Jeffrey A. Rudziak, Director,of Assessing Board of Assessors Jeremy F. Gilmore, Chairman William T. Garreffi, Secretary Alan Donheiser, Board Member FINANCE OPERATIONS In fiscal year 2006 the Town received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the Government Finance Officer's Association (GFOA) for the FY 2006 operating budget document. In addition, the Town was the recipient of the Certificate in Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005. This report is a separate document that can be accessed on the town website. The GFOA is an organization made up of over 14,000 finance professionals from the United States and Canada and is the only nationwide program to sponsor awards for financial excellence in the state and local governmental area. This was the sixth consecutive budget award and fourth consecutive financial reporting award for the Town. The following pages include abbreviated financial statements for the Town of Barnstable on June 30, 2006 and for the year then ended- These financial statements have been prepared from the pre-closing trial balance of the Town's financial management system for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. Due to the timing of the issuance of the annual report all year end closing transactions cannot be incorporated. These statements reflect the Town's financial position in accordance with the Uniform Municipal Accounting System (UMAS) promulgated by the Department of Revenue. The issuance of the Town's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) will include all closing transactions and will be audited by an independent auditor. We anticipate this report to be issued in December 2006. The Town's FY05 CAFR is available for reading and downloading on the town website. Respectfully submitted, Mark A.

Ancient books will be deacidified and rebound if needed; and all pages will be scanned into the Laser Fiche program. Once the records are indexed on the program it will be uploaded and we hope to have it accessible for genealogical research on the web. It is an exciting beginning. Our goal is to include town meeting,propri- etor,vital and other historic records. It is a long-term project;but we will have the equipment, and hope to keep moving on this project so that eventually, it will become a yearly update.

Receipts collected are paid over to the Town Treasurer, the five Fire District Treasurers, and the Hyannis Main Street Business Improvement District (BID) weekly with appropriate accounting reports. Each year there is a tax taking for unpaid real estate taxes. Legal documents are prepared for betterment discharges and munici- pal lien certificates. The Town Collector's Office has two primary functions: CUSTOMER SERVICE ACTIVITY: This activity involves providing information to taxpayers, mortgage companies, attorneys, and the general public by telephone and in the Collector's Office regarding all tax accounts and providing general information relating to the Town of Barnstable. Another facet is the prepara- tion of municipal lien certificates showing the status of real estate taxes for banks, attorneys, and taxpayers when property is sold or refinanced. In fiscal 2006, 3,009 municipal lien certifi- cates were produced. Certificates of discharge are prepared when road, sewer, water, Title V Septic betterments are paid in full so the betterment lien can be removed from the deed at the Registry of Deeds. In fiscal 2006, 145 certificates of discharge were processed. BILLING AND COLLECTION ACTIVITY: This activity centers on the timely collection of 28,000 real estate bills and 7,000 personal property tax bills. After many years of semi-annual tax billing, the Town of Barnstable adopt- ed quarterly tax billings. Preliminary fiscal 2006 real estate and personal property bills were' issued July 1, 2005 for the first two quarters with payments due August 1st and November 1st. Actual tax bills were delayed as time was needed to implement the residential exemptions,small business exemptions, and the split tax rate adopted by the Town Council in mid-November. The qualifications for exemptions, programming, review and testing for the tax bill file was completed by the Assessing Division, Information Technology Division, and Town Collector. Bills were issued on March 17, 2006 for a May 1st payment. Quarterly tax billing will provide a more even cash flow for the Town and increased earnings. Motor vehicle excise are mailed at various times based on information supplied by the Registry of Motor Vehicles. The first commitment of excise in 2006 (44,267) were mailed February 9, 2006. Demand bills for unpaid taxes are issued as needed throughout the fiscal year. Many other bills are processed such as quarterly sewer usage bills, sewer, road, water and septic betterments,boat excise, and BID assessments. Deposits are made on a daily basis and pay overs to the Town and Fire District Treasurers weekly. Pay overs are processed for the Hyannis Main Street BID. Accounts receiv- ables are reconciled with the Finance Department monthly.

Gilmore,Esq.). At such a juncture,it is impossible not to reflect upon the entire stream of professional effort which has followed through the office of the town attorney(nee,town counsel). Throughout virtually the entire time, I have been assisted, indeed directed, by Claire R. Griffen, Legal Assistant, whose superb and indefatigable service to the town is well known to all. David Houghton,Esq. has ably assumed the position of First Assistant Town Attorney with the departure of Ruth J. Weil, Esq. to the Growth Management Department. We have been joined by Charles S. McLaughlin,Jr., Esq., well-known, municipally-experienced, and already in the thick-of-things, as our new Assistant Town Attorney. We have also been extremely fortunate to have recruited Pamela D. Gordon of Marstons Mills as our Legal Clerk. Pam's computer savvy and quick intelligence generally has already proved to us the value she brings to this office. With respect to the nature of the work over the past year, it has been a year of consolida- tion. We have succeeded in getting the Barnstable Water operation up and running as a munic- ipal utility enterprise and are in the process of bringing the Hyannis Golf Course online as a town recreational enterprise. Coupled with the acquisition of the Prince Cove Marina of a couple of years ago, this represents a significant and, it is submitted, an impressive list of ,'mergers and acquisitions" for our small, in-house law office, to have facilitated. Notwithstanding some inevitable controversy in the government sphere, the transitions have taken place quite seamlessly. As a closing note on professional milestones, this year has seen the first direct involvement of our office in a case before the Supreme Court of the United States (the Gifford case) which, while it doesn't appear to present any significant exposure to the town,clearly represents a mile- stone in the town's history. gAkq 6tL Y e"e• `.. 1 ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 95 With that, the tabular statistics for the Legal Department are as follows: No. of Cases by Client Agency Cases Opened or Closed During Fiscal Year Cases Open During Last Fiscal Year Agency Cases Cases Group Expression Records Opened Closed Airport 20 Airport 3 2 Assessors 24 Assessors 5 244 Building Com'r 58 Building Com'r 3 10 Charter Commission 2 Charter Commission 0 0 Clerk 3 Clerk 0 2 Collector 6 Collector 0 2 Community&Ec Dev 18 Community&Ec Dev 2 2 Community Svcs 2 Community Svcs 0 0 Concom 53 Concom 5 49 Consumer Affairs 3 Consumer Affairs 0 0 Council on Aging 4 Council on Aging 1 2 DPW 451 DPW 28 123 DPW-WTR 1 DPW-WTR 0 0 DPW-S&G 2 DPW-S&G 1 0 DPW-SEWR 3 DPW-SEWR 1 0 DPW-SOLW 1 DPW-SOLW 0 0 Dog Officer 1 Dog Officer 0 0 Finance 3 Finance 0 0 Golf Course 3 Golf Course 0 0 Growth Mgmt 20 Growth Mgmt 12 2 Harbormaster 15 Harbormaster. 1 4 Health 16 Health 1 14 Historical 2 Historical 0 1 Housing Authority 3 Housing Authority 0 0 Human Resources 21 Human Resources 1 4 Infosys 1 Infosys 0 0 Libraries 2 Libraries 0 0 Licensing Authority 23 Licensing Authority 1 7 Miscellaneous 12 Miscellaneous 0 0 Natural Resources 9 Natural Resources 1 1 Old King's Highway 5 Old King's Highway 0 1 Planning Board 26 Planning Board 3 9 Planning Dept 18 Planning Dept 0 2 Police 40 Police 2 15 Procurement 1 Procurement 0 0 Property Mgmt 6 Property Mgmt 0 1 Recreation Dept 25 Recreation Dept 3 3 Regulatory Services 1 Regulatory Services 0 0 Sandy Neck 5 Sandy Neck 0 3 School 46 School 0 9 ToB 63 ToB 3 7 Town Attorney 28 Town Attorney 4 4 Town Council 56 Town Council 11 10 Town Council, Gr.M _ 1 Town Manager 35 46 Town Manager 201 Treasurer 0 3 Treasurer 9 Yarmouth 0 0 Yarmouth 2 ZBA 9 38 ZBA 77 Totals: 137 618 Totals: 1392 Respectfully submitted, Robert D.

In fulfilling this role, Human Resources provides a number of services and functions. RECRUITMENT: The Town of Barnstable is committed to attracting, '' maintaining and retaining a diverse, knowledgeable and effective workforce. In FY 2006, Human Resources f processed approximately 1,658 applications to fill 169 "` positions. This represents a 32% increase in applications l r and a 19% decrease in positions over FY 2005. This does 4 '} not include 600+ seasonal positions in the Recreation Department. CLASSIFICATION: During fiscal year 2006, Human Resources reviewed job descriptions for vacant positions making appropriate changes that accurately reflected the job duties prior to a position being advertised and filled. Human Resources created 9 new and 17 revised job descriptions,which were then classified based on the application of a uniform point factor comparison methodolo- gy of job evaluation. TRAINING: The Human Resources Department continued its ongoing commitment to training. Over the course of the fiscal year, Human Resources, in conjunction with the Barnstable Municipal Employees Association (BMEA), sponsored 5 day-long training seminars on the following topics: The Art of Working with People, Managing Emotions Under Pressure, Managing Multiple Priorities, Assertiveness Skills, and How to Deliver Exceptional Customer Service In October, Human Resources partnered with AFSCME to conduct a "back school" for employees that focused on proper bending and lifting techniques. A Wellness Fair was held in March. This one-day, annual event sponsored by Barnstable County gives employees the opportunity to receive a computerized health assessment and gain knowledge on healthy living and eating. is . °' The assessment includes cholesterol, blood If pressure, and glucose screenings, smoking cessation, stress management, and a cooking demonstration. The annual Town Benefits fair was held on April 1lth. This event begins the annual i open enrollment period and allows employees and retirees to meet with vendors and the Town Benefits Administrator one-on-one to discuss existing benefit coverage, new bene- fits, and changing their benefit coverage. ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 97 LABOR/EMPLOYEE RELATIONS: The Director participated in mediation and conflict resolution,union contract negotiation and interpretation, grievance processing and hostile work environment issues.

This well-attended event was a tremendous success. In December 75 employees were recognized for their years of service with the Town. Also 8 employees who retired during the year received special recognition.

WORKERS COMPENSATION: In Fiscal Year 2006, Human Resources received and processed 152 reports of work-related injuries for all departments including the School Department, 20 of which resulted in lost time. Human Resources'goal is to create a safer workplace leading to a decrease in absenteeism, loss of productivity,and increased employee morale.

UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS: During FY 2006, the department processed and paid unemployment claims which cost the town $134,285.93. This amount represents a $71,665.17 (35%) decrease over FY 2005.

Long-term employees Ruthanne Baker and Irene Carrington left ^� - the division, while we welcomed Principal Division $ Assistant Tara .Eaves and Administrative Assistant Angela Whelan. I would like to thank the members of the Human Resources Department: Susan Atkins, Tammy Cunningham, Tara Eaves, Deborah Gilbert, Elizabeth Nichols, Laura Scroggins, and Angela Whelan for all of their hard work.

French Chairman, Sandy Neck Board R t^- J T _ m 104 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 BARNSTABLE DISABILITY COMMISSION The Disability Commission is an advisory committee to the Town and was formed to research local problems of people with disabilities;advise and assist municipal officials and employ- ees in ensuring Town compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as enforced by the United States Department of Justice and the Massachusetts Office on Disability. The Commission is to coordinate or carry out programs designed to meet the problems of citizens with disabilities, review, and make recommendations about policies, procedures, services, activities and facilities within the Town as they would affect people with disabilities. The Commission may draft rules and regulations concerning disabled persons'needs and issues,for adoption by the Town Manager and Town Council. We are hoping to re-establish the Disability Parking Patrol to continue our disability park- ing enforcement program. The Commission may receive gifts of property, both real and personal, in the name of the Town,subject to the approval of the Town Manager,such gifts are to be managed and controlled by the Commission for the benefit of persons with disabilities. . In 2006 we awarded three $1,000 scholarships. Two were given to Barnstable High School graduates and one to a Sturgis High School student. The Audible Local Ledger, a radio reading service for the blind,low vision and print impaired listeners,received a$1,000 grant to provide 20 free radios to eligible Town of Barnstable residents. We also upgrade,repair and replace the surf chairs in use at Covells, Hamblin, Loop, Sea Street, Sandy Neck and Dowses beaches. One new chair was purchased this year at a cost of$2,355. We train lifeguard staff in making them available for disabled beachgoers. Selected improvements to these beaches continued in 2006. We are investigating the possibility of installing additional "talking signs" at traffic lights on Main Street, Hyannis and interfacing with the transportation system to aid blind pedestri- ans. The annual fishing contest for disabled and non-disabled children was held again this fall at Dowses Beach at the wheelchair accessible recreation deck. The Barnstable Disability Commission provided over$60,000 for this project.We wish to thank all of our volunteers for their hard work to make this effort successful. We invite all our citizens to use and enjoy this terrific town facility. The Commission, with the help of committee volunteers, completes ADA surveys of our schools, beaches, town buildings, and facilities within the Town. The results of these surveys improve access to these very important areas and help protect the Town from ADA complaints and civil actions against the Town. The Barnstable Disability Commission made a commitment to make all our buildings and beaches accessible to the disabled and easier on our mobility impaired Barnstable citizens. We continue to work with the School Department, Recreation Division and DPW Structures and Grounds Division to identify and correct accessibility problems. In 20061"the Commission continued its efforts to support the Town Clerk in making our election facilities compliant with ADA rules. The Commission also worked to update ADA sur- veys for Town schools and facilities. We will continue our efforts to advise the Building Commissioner of ADA access concerns within the Town. Our big focus will continue to be Emergency Preparedness, especially for the disabled. A pilot program was started in West Barnstable by the Disability Commission with the support of the West Barnstable Fire Department and Civic Association. One thing among the many discussed is a special needs shelter for anyone requiring equipment such as oxygen, wheel- chairs, etc. This information will be available to the rest of the Town for their consideration. We renew our commitment to our resident disabled population and our disabled seasonal visitors to make their use of Town facilities and local businesses as convenient as we can.

The Committee will be working with Barnstable's "No Place for Hate" Committee in an effort to resolve reports of racial and ethnic "profiling" within the town. Plans are underway to develop a "Vision Matrix" which will provide the Committee with a holistic view of specific health and human service needs in Barnstable and how they can best be met. One extensive project begun by the Committee almost immediately after its inception was the collaborative inter-agency effort "Operation In From The Cold". OIFTC was designed by a subcommittee to address the needs of our town's most vulnerable population, the chronically homeless who sleep outdoors throughout the year. The program was designed after the "Housing First" model, which offers homeless individuals shelter and then services. The goal was to bring people in during the frigid winter months, and the hope was that some could be brought to services that would enable them to become contributing members of society once again. This goal was met and surpassed, as out of the two dozen served, ten are now in perma- nent housing,some are in rehabilitative programs and others are receiving services. "Operation In From The Cold" also succeeded in bringing together various groups such as the Barnstable Police Department, homeless outreach workers and agencies, forging an "Emergency Response Network" that periodically assesses the homeless population and their needs. Public awareness was raised regarding the plight of the chronically homeless within the Town of Barnstable and across the Cape, with many individuals and organizations, including several towns, contribut- ing to the costs of the program. The Human Services Committee is currently working on expanding this program to address the needs of our most vulnerable populations throughout the year,and we look forward to further successes in the field of Health and Human Services for Barnstable..

The group is made up of young people who have an interest in informing Barnstable's legislators of their issues, and helping to make our community a better place. We also believe in making Barnstable a safe, peaceful place for people of all races and ethnicities. Several adult advisors help organize the group and keep things running smoothly,but the youth members make the decisions.

The Recreation Commission promotes affordable and attractive programming, supports recreational opportunities through Town resources, such as beaches and facilities, and strives for equal access for all. The members of the Recreation Commission work with the Disability Commission, Conservation Commission, and the Youth Commission. Currently, the Barnstable.Recreation Commission is actively involved with the following projects: the Hyannis Youth and Community Center,Barrier Free Playground,Ridgewood Park, expansion of Barnstable Little League Fields, and renourishment of town beach sites. The Recreation Commission is a volunteer board comprised of 7 members who meet the first Monday of every month at 5:30 pm at the Recreation Office,located at the Skating Rink in Hyannis. The Commission cordially invites-all residents to attend their meetings in an effort to work more closely with the citi- zens of Barnstable to meet their needs and goals. Respectfully submitted, Clyde Takala, Chair ; Joe O'Brien,Vice Chair Andrew Gauthier Katherine Pina Travis Rose y ' Kevin Turner l° BARNSTABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION Tthe Barnstable Economic Development Commission(BEDC)is an advisory committee to the own. The BEDC, in conjunction with other town agencies and committees, establishes methods to increase job opportunities with sustainable wages for residents of the Town of Barnstable,assists existing businesses in their changing needs,and encourages and assists busi- nesses to locate to the Town in a manner consistent with the local*comprehensive plan. In order to attract substantial investment in the Town, the Commission's focus is to create an environment conducive to economic development and redevelopment. BEDC brings private sector expertise, public sector support and volunteer business organizations together to devel- op and carry out specific plans and projects. In addition, BEDC assists in developing the economic sections of the Town Council's Strategic Plan and the Town's Local Comprehensive Plan (LCP) and in implementing those strategies and policies. The BEDC meets the second Tuesday of every month at 8 am in the Selectman's Conference Room unless otherwise posted.Appointments to the committee are made by the Town Council. ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 109 MEMBERS FOR FY07 INCLUDE: Lois Andre Chairman Jeannine Marshall,Vice Chairman Chris Kehoe Debra Krau Lou Gonzaga Howard Penn Phil Scudder Steve Shuman FY06 was a year of transition for the BEDC as we said goodbye to long time members Bill Belden,Don Megathlin,Patrick Princi,and Lynne Poyant. We wish them well in their work in other capacities for the town and the Cape at large. BEDC, as an advisory committee to the Town council is of advisement to the Growth Management Department, under the direction of Ruth Weil. Kathleen Girouard,Community and Economic Development Coordinator,provides us staff support and is our fearless coordinator. Our accomplishments, although not solely on our own, include the establishment of the Growth Incentive Zone for the downtown area of Hyannis.. The BEDC is working with the Growth Management Department to determine types of business that would attract people to the downtown area of Hyannis and how we can best assist those businesses in the downtown area so that they can grow and prosper. Our information gathering will begin with two surveys, one for the general public and another for businesses. We anticipate the results will guide us as we implement the Business Development Strategy. Of great concern to members of the commission was the passage of the split tax rate which incurred a higher tax rate on business owners and a lower tax rate on residences. This was of great concern to the BEDC as the BEDC did not support the adoption of the rate. We do hope in the future this rate is abolished so business and business growth in Barnstable is encouraged. The Town and BEDC worked diligently in growing the Harbor Your Arts program and Gallery 337. These programs are providing new venues and economic development for our arts and artisans in the town. The town won a Massachusetts Cultural Council Adams Grant to provide funding for the many activities occurring in the Harbor and downtown areas. We anticipate a very busy 2006-2007 and look forward to the many things we can do to assist economic growth in the Town of Barnstable. Lois Andre Chairman E 110 1 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 BARNSTABLE HISTORICAL COMMISSION July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006 The Barnstable Historical Commission (BHC) is established under state law to preserve and. protect the community's historic buildings and settings throughout the town and to contin- ue to inform and educate the public about town history and its significance as the town moves forward in the twenty-first century. The BHC reviews applications for demolition of historic properties to oversee the protec- tion of property located outside our town's two historic districts (the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District and the Hyannis Main Street Waterfront Historic District). In addi- tion, there are 75 individual properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places plus another 13 National Register Historic Districts which the BHC oversees in this regard. The BHC responds to Massachusetts Historical Commission enquiries about all historical concerns in the town and may offer places for inclusion on the Department of the Interior's National Register of Historic Places. The BHC has held 25 informal reviews on demolitions. There have been 14 formal demo- lition applications before the BHC. Of these, 11 were approved; 1 denied and 2 referred to the Cape Cod Commission. The BHC was required to refer four properties (for which substantial alterations were planned) to the Cape Cod Commission. In addition,we are working,with research provided by Eben Johnson and Gabrielle Black, toward the listing of a propriety lots boundary marker on the National Register of Historic Places. There are an unprecedented number of applications for demolition of historic buildings and estate buildings designed by architects of renown in the last century. The desire of new residents to create large mansions rather than utilizing traditional Cape Cod dwellings is clear. Estate houses in Cotuit, Osterville, Centerville, Hyannis and the northern side of town, espe- cially on waterfront property, are attempting to change an appearance designed to fit the scale and architecture of the coast into flamboyant volume and baroque design.This impacts historic neighborhoods and the aura of traditional Cape views. On the bright side, many commercial buildings are revitalizing current main road buildings, understanding the economic sense of heritage tourism by retaining the flavor of the older commercial districts. Town regulations allow the BHC to postpone for six months demolition of structures over 75 years old if it qual- ifies as a significant building. This process allows the property owner time to try to incorporate the present building into new plans or to find other individuals who would be interested in purchasing and improving the current building. Through the years, significant buildings have been preserved through the joint efforts of the BHC, the CCC and property owners. The BHC review process for artifacts uncovered during construction and excavation projects was reviewed and supported by the Town Legal Department. Section 7 of the Local Comprehensive Plan has been completed and reviewed by the OKHRHD and the HMSWHD and forwarded to the Local Comprehensive Planning Committee. Electronic access.to the BHC minutes and agendas has improved and the televised meet- ings are now available for review by the citizens of Barnstable. BHC has supported OKH in the effort, along with Massachusetts Historical Commission, the U.S. Department of Natural Resources, the Massachusetts Recreation and Conservation Commission, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Nature Conservancy in relocating the Sandy Neck Ticket Office in order to preserve it and to aid Sandy Neck educational efforts. The entire Sandy Neck historic and archaeological resources and historic cottages offer the Town a rich information and experiential source for pre-history,early history and current uses informa- tion. The BHC has been working cooperatively with the CPA to review the requests they have received for funding under historic items, a necessary function in their difficult task to deter- mine which resources to support with financial action. ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 111 The BHC is hoping to update the Town inventory of historic structures and buildings and to update the Town's preservation plan which is more than 20 years old. A detailed and updated Historic Structures Report for the Town-owned Trayser Museum Complex remains unfunded. Sandy Lenny has retired from the BHC after many years of work on the historic Plaque Program and the Roads and Historic Ways Committee. Melissa Cummings-Niedzwiecki joined the Commission in 2005. Special thanks to Jackie Etsten, AICP, and Patty Mackey for their excellent support of this Commission's work. Special recognition and thanks also to volunteer Holly Hobart of Marston Mills, for making substantial progress in getting the town historic inventory (which numbers several thousand properties) on computer.

The BHA was pleased to receive renewal funding of$270,000 from HUD to continue the operation of the Housing First program, which funds 35 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers for individuals with HIV/AIDS and$45,000 for families with AIDS. The BHA used a grant from HUD to replace the front courtyard, renovate six handicapped accessible units, and do office renovations at the Colony House. New lighting was put in at Adams Court on Stevens Street and the Department of Housing and Community Development assisted with several renovations at scattered site family rental housing owned by the BHA. , The BHA discontinued the management agreement with the Dennis Housing Authority in July 2005 and on June 1, 2006 hired a new executive director at the Sandwich Housing Authority. These two management partnerships lasted over three years. The BHA pulled back from these partnerships to free up staff time to concentrate on development in Barnstable. The groundbreaking at Gallagher Lane in Marstons Mills was held in August 2005 and seven families were housed in Spring 2006. The BHA partnered with the Housing Assistance Corporation on this project. The BHA used two Cape Cod Commission Technical Assistance Program grants to survey three potential sites for development. Based on preliminary engineer- ing results, Stage Coach Road in Centerville appears suitable for family housing. This project will be a priority of the BHA in 2006. Commissioner Kimber is the BHAs appointment to the Town's Housing Committee,which has been actively reviewing affordable housing proposals and working with the Planning Board on an Affordable Housing Overlay District. The Barnstable Housing Authority will continue to work with federal, state, county, and local officials to make 2006-07 successful as we strive to provide the participants in our 112 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006. programs with safe,sanitary, and affordable hous- ing.The Town Manager has committed significant resources to bring the town's affordable housing stock up to 10% and the BHA will continue to work with the Town Council, local officials, and the Barnstable Housing Committee to meet local housing needs. HIT The Board meets in open public session every third Thursday at 4:00 PM. Meetings are rotated " f :1®Y each month and held at one of the BHA owned developments to encourage resident involvement. Public participation and comment is both ! '` welcome and encouraged. Our offices are located at 146 South Street, Hyannis. Paula Schnepp, Chair Deborah Converse, Vice-chair Richard A. Cross,Jr., Treasurer Joseph I. Chilli,Assistant Treasurer Arthur F. Kimber, Commissioner Thomas K. Lynch, Executive Director BOARD OF HEALTH —rhe.mission of the Board of Health is to protect the health of the people in the town of 1 Barnstable. The Board is charged with interpreting and enforcing local and state regulations that pertain to public health. The Board is also responsible for identifying the need for and adopting new regulations that address such issues. • In fiscal year 2006, the Board of Health continued to enforce ongoing programs including sewage disposal, hazardous material use, storage and disposal, fuel storage and food service sanitation. A total of 2,780 inspections were conducted by Health Division staff at restau- rants, swimming pools, retail stores, percolation tests, septic systems, tanning facilities, motels and other facilities. • The Board adopted a regulation requiring the installation of touchless hand faucets in all food establishments. • The Division continues to work with the County on compliance checks of local establish- ments' adherence to the 1996 tobacco regulations regarding sales to minors. The Board is in the process of developing a new local regulation in order to bring the town into compliance with state standards. • The Board has enlisted the County to monitor alternative sewage disposal systems installed in the town. • The Board continues to work with the town DPW and engineers on plans for utilizing the Barnstable Wastewater Treatment Facility in the most efficient and beneficial ways and on the Lake Wequaquet sewer extension proposal. The Board is working with the state, county and town to develop a program of escrow funds in cases where a failed septic system needs repairs, but is located in an area where sewer is expected within a few years. This program would accept temporary repairs that did not comply fully with Title 5 if money were put into ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 113 I`- escrow to pay for sewer hook-up when available or to install a compliant system if sewer did not become available. • The Board continues its strong support of the u 4 ` rnmmnnity nursing program, Public HPAtli Nurse Maureen Kelleher holds monthly clinics at which lead screenings, immunizations and blood . pressure testing are offered. Influenza vaccina- tions were provided to 2,720 persons at our annual influenza clinics. • The board is working with the county on devel- opment of an emergency disaster plan. `^ • The issue of overcrowding of housing units was addressed in a number of complaints that came before the Board. The seriousness of the problem is reflected in the adoption of rental and occupan- cy regulations addressing the issue of overcrowding by the Town Council. The Health Division is charged with enforcement of these new regulations. The Board received the resignation of long-time Board member Susan Rask at the beginning of the fiscal year and of long-time board member Sumner Kaufman at the end of the year. Their expertise has served the Board and the town exceptionally well and they will be sorely missed! Susan Rask was replaced by Paul Canniff, DMD who previously served for many years on the Chelmsford Board of Health prior to moving to the Cape. A replacement is currently being sought for Mr. Kaufman. The Board wishes to thank our Director of Public Health, Thomas McKean, R.S., C.H.O., and all the other dedicated members of the Public Health Division staff for their continuing hard work and dedication to protecting the public health and the environment. Respectfully submitted, Wayne Miller, M.D., Chairman Paul Canniff, D.M.D. CABLE ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Town's Cablevision License Agreement with Comcast expires on December 31, 2009. Comcast took over AT&T Broadband's contract in February 2003. During the past year the cable operator's rate increases exceeded the increase in the cost-of-living index, and there is nothing the Town can do about it since Congress saw fit to deregulate the cablevision industry, and we are essentially dealing with an unregulated monopoly. Unfortunately, the FCC's position appears to be to permit the concentration of more and more media power among fewer and fewer gigantic corporations, usually to the detriment of local desires and needs. In January of 2007 our Committee will commence negotiations with Comcast concerning the terms and provisions of a new cable franchise agreement. We will also invite other cable operators to compete head-on with Comcast. We will also look into the possibility of the Town owning and operating its own cable system. 114 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 Unfortunately, there is currently under consideration in Congress,legislation which would weaken or take away the authority of municipalities to license the cable television operators using the town public ways. Needless to say, the cable companies and telephone companies are supporting this legislation which would deprive the Town of the franchise fees it currently receives from Comcast. Franchise fees received from Comcast for fiscal year 2005 amounted to about $468,000, which is a significant source of revenue to the Town. Franchise fees support not only our local Government Channel 18 and our local Educational Channel 22, but also support the Public Access activities of the Cape Cod Media Center which operates Cable Channel 17. The Town Manager, the Town Council and our Committee have gone on record expressing the Town's "Opposition to Congressional and Telephone Company Proposals to Weaken and Usurp Municipal Cable Franchising Powers".Municipal cable franchising has been important to right-of-way management and also to maintaining the cable company's'responsive- ness to consumers, and it would be outrageous for Congress to take away the Town's licensing and oversight powers.

PLANNING BOARD The Planning Board is a seven-person Board appointed by the Town Council for a term of three years. The Board meets twice a month on Mondays at 7:00 p.m. at the Town Hall. In addition to our regular meeting format,for the past year there has been a sub-committee which meets at Town Hall each Monday between 12:00-2:00 p.m. This meeting is chaired by Board member Steve Shuman. Steve and his committee,with staff support, have worked on changes to our Zoning Ordinance;preliminary reports are sent to the Board for review and discussed at meetings. All Planning Board and committee meetings are open to the public. This past year has been equally as busy as past years for the Planning Board and our subcommittees. In addition to the zoning review subcommittee, the entire Planning Board serves as the revision and review com- mittee for the Local Comprehensive Plan. This committee is chaired by Marlene-Weir. Each Planning Board member has been assigned one or two sections of the plan(there are eight over- all sections) and assumed the responsibility of coordinating the revisions. This has involved innumerable meetings, public hearings, and workshops with local experts giving presentations on best practices and up to date information on each subject. There have also been many meet- ings with public input. This has allowed us to integrate information from the various depart- ments, agencies and from individuals who are stakeholders in each of the specific areas. We have had many meetings reviewing and consolidating the information,and usually dedicate the first portion of our Planning Board meetings to the LCP rewrite. As each section of the plan is completed it is posted on the Town website httD://www.town.barnstable.ma.us/ for citizen review. ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 127 With the passage of the Hyannis Downtown Zoning District ordinance, the Growth Incentive Zone legislation and the Design & Infrastructure Plan, the year has been exciting since the Town Council appointed the Planning Board to be the special permitting authority for the Hyannis Village Zoning Districts.The Board has been working with Town officials and other Boards to bring long awaited projects to reality.

The Commission is comprised of three appointees of special background and four members of the community living or working in the District. We meet to review submissions for proposed changes on alternate Wednesdays at the School Administration Building on the Town Common. Our deliberations are also broadcast on local channel 18 or may be viewed on the Town website. If you would like to join us at the meetings for an hour or two to observe at real time, we would love to see you (no purchase necessary). The skyline of Hyannis Main Street is changing with the introduction of three stories of height and mixed use of residential over retail. The goal is to bring people back to Main Street night and day with restaurants, shops and services catering to residents. The reconstruction of Main Street has been completed and the sidewalks are crowded, again. During the past year, 8 new or existing restaurants or food servers have METAF 73OWN 11 opened sidewalk or adjacent patio dining. A quick survey, read that as a late night drive,disclosed 21 restaurants or food servers operating on the side- walks or in adjacent front yards this - summer. This seating can't all be for -- � people who want to smoke after eating; V '' .� the atmosphere must be something special. There are more people on the �• � '' � street staying longer. Seems like old `times. The Cape Cod Times has taken the space formerly occupied by. �, f Penguins Go Pasta and rehabilitated the = ,. Main Street elevation with more tradi- tional storefront windows and door. In addition, as reflective of the new attitude of inclusion of the waterfront W = Ali into Main Street activity, the Ocean Street facade was improved as well. Across Ocean Street, a major new resi- dential over retail construction project was proposed and is presently under review. The HMSWHDC reviewed this project several times last year, as noted 1 " ' in the news media, until the design submitted was relective of a seaside resort, rather than a Main Street, Anywhere, USA. Sherman Square in the u. west end is beginning to show the expansion with twu new buildings of ^,i ; °• � �Mii f three stories high and another major V4 project in the design review process. � ll & ,x The Sturgis Charter Public School is § c a � #� .

ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 129 The Walkway to the Sea has been extended to the actual waterfront through Aselton Park where the Harbor Your Arts program includes outdoor theater and visual attractions. The artist shanties continue for one more year as waterfront sites of interest for local artists to display and demonstrate their skilled artwork and the Cape Cod Maritime Museum is open for review and continuing to evolve. The new Growth Management Department has initiated applications for funding to expand the historic research and designation of properties beyond the boundaries of the HMSWHD, as well as to reorganize the historic inventory that forms the basis for the District.We will be able to more easily identify those special buildings of architectural and historic significance to Hyannis and Barnstable for their preservation and promotion. The identification through the Plaque Program is assisted by students and local school history programs. Our membership changed this year. We lost Paul Drouin unexpectedly. And, after three terms on the Commission, David Scudder asked not to be reappointed to give him more fami- ly time. We have enjoyed both men so much for their contributions to our deliberations over the past decade. Replacing their knowledge, good humor and dedication will be impossible. Thank you Paul and David for your participation; we already miss you. We have two new members who will bring their own background and historic sensibility to our deliberations working through the appointments process at this time and hope to have them with us next month. Continuing as Commissioners are: Marina Atsalis, Barbara Flinn,Joe Cotellessa, Joe Dunn and George Jessop. We would like to invite residents of the District or business owners within the District to join our Commission and attend meetings as alternates for those times when regular members are not able to attend. This is a fun way to see if you want a full time gig- During the past year we met each fortnight to review a total of 73 projects with: Approved as submitted: 43 Approved as modified: 23 Denied: 5 Continued: 20 Withdrawn: 2 As volunteers,our time to prepare for the meetings is limited to a few hours each week.We rely on assistance in the documentation of all applications, the cross-referencing of historic identifications, the checking for required submissions and for accuracy,the notification of those affected by any changes,duplication and distribution to commission members and a staff review with recommended action. And all this is accomplished in the shortest time allowed by law by our administrative assistant, Danielle St. Peter and the Director of Historic Preservation (and Planning and Zoning), Tom Broadrick,AICP. They make our job easy and we thank them very much. ` Sincerely yours, George A.Jessop,Jr. AIA, Chairman 130 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 THE JANE ESHBAUGH COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD COMMITTEE The Jane Eshbaugh Community Service Award was established in January of 2001 by the Barnstable Town Council in grateful recognition of local activist Jane Eshbaugh. Her many efforts, great and small, included service on the Board of Health, Osterville Village and Professional Association, Barnstable Town Council and Barnstable Land Trust. It was the Council's hope that through this award others might learn from and emulate Jane's example of dedicated community service. The mission of the Jane Eshbaugh Community Service Award Committee is to annually recognize one person or organization in the Town of Barnstable whose community service rises above the rest. Areas of endeavor include environmental protection, land conservation, health and human services, innovative community initiatives, beautification, and other appropriate areas of community service. In deciding who should be given the award, special emphasis is placed on contributions to the community by unsung residents who have worked quietly,even to the extent ., of self sacrifice,without expectation of recognition or reward. ; Typically the Committee invites the community to make . T nominations in the early spring and the award is given by they 4� Town Council in mid June.This year, the untimely death of Shirley Flynn, one of our committee members and one of Jane's dearest friends,prompt- ed the committee to nominate her for the 5th annual Jane � ; w•�,ijI lY 11 111 ' .. .. Eshbaugh Community Service Award. The proclamation hon- oringShirley read as follows: _ WHEREAS, Shirley Blair Flynn and her husband Martin J.

Also, five (5) comprehen- sive permit negotiation meetings were held by Board Members, Daniel M. Creedon III, and James R. Hatfield on behalf of the Board to assist in resolving issues related to the Cotuit Equitable Housing comprehensive permit application. Upon successful negotiations by those members and with assistance from Town Departments as well as a cooperative effort from the neighboring Town of Mashpee, a compre- hensive permit was issued by the Board to Cotuit Equitable Housing. That permit authorized the subdivision of a 50.44-acre site located off Route 28 for the development of one hundred twenty-four (124) single-family dwellings and accessory improvements including wastewater treatment facilities,'recreation and open space areas. Thirty-one of the dwellings will be dedicated in perpetuity as affordable units marketed to qualified low and moderate-income households. In addition to that comprehensive permit, and upon a second remand from the Housing Appeals Committee,the Board issued a permit for the development of"Settlers Landing V. The permit authorizes the division of 5.61-acres for the development of twenty (20) single-family dwellings, five of which will be dedicated as affordable housing units. In July of 2006,Town Council adopted the Hyannis Village Zoning Districts regulations for downtown Hyannis and the inner harbor area. The amendment assigned responsibility, for the granting of special permits within those new districts, to the Planning Board. With the adoption of that legislation, the Zoning Board's Administrative Secretary, Ellen Swiniarski was promoted to Site Plan Review Coordinator and Administrative Secretary to the Planning Board. Leandra Nicolo then joined the department as Administrative Secretary to the Zoning Board. However, she has recently resigned from that position. In June of 2005, Associate Board Members,James R. Hatfield and Randolph Childs were appointed full Board Members. Town Council also appointed Kelly Kevin Lydon and John T. Norman as new Associate Members to the Board. ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 133 With the adoption of Fiscal Year 2006 budget, the Growth Management Department was created in September of 2005. Ruth Weil, former First Assistant Town Attorney,undertook the leadership of that new Department and its multi-disciplinary team approach to guide the growth of the town. Ms. Weil's dedication has fostered a new cooperation within the regulato- ry boards of the Town and we look forward to this continued relationship. I want to express my appreciation to Richard Boy who left the Zoning Board after 29 years of service and to Ralph Copeland who had served for 6 years. Their dedication and support to the Board and the Town will be missed. The knowledge and cooperation provided to our Zoning Board by the Town Attorney's Office, and the Building Commissioner, Tom Perry, are recognized and greatly appreciated. I would be remiss if I didn't once again thank our Principal Planner Arthur Traczyk for his endless hours csf devotion, expertise, and assistance to our Board — definitely "above and beyond" what is required of his position.

"Bud" Breault The Cape Light Compact was formed in 1997 following two years of study and votes of town boards of selectmen and the Town Council. It is organized through a formal intergovern- mental agreement signed by all 21 member towns and Barnstable and Dukes Counties. The purpose of the Cape Light Compact is to advance the interests of consumers in a competitive electric supply market,including the promotion of energy efficiency. Each participating munic- ipality has a representative on the Compact Governing Board,which sets policy and works with staff, technical and legal support to advance the Cape Light Compact programs. POWER SUPPLY In 2005, metered electric customers in Barnstable saved approximately $187,178.78 through the competitive electric supply contract negotiated by the Cape Light compact with ConEdison Solutions. ENERGY EFFICIENCY In 2005, rebates and other efficiency incentive programs provided to the town by the Compact totaled approximately $656,326.21 brought savings to 1,383 participants of $372,165.15 or about 2,481,101 kilowatt-hours of annual energy saved for 2005. Funding for the energy efficiency programs.(i.e. energy audits for homes and businesses, rebates on the purchase of energy efficiency appliances and energy education in our schools) comes from a monthly customer"energy conservation" charge($0.0025 cents multiplied by the number of kilowatt hours used during the month) that appears on each customer's electric bill. OTHER CAPE LIGHT COMPACT EFFORTS INCLUDE: • Energy Fairs where customers were given incentives to turn-in inefficient air conditioners and dehumidifiers. • Coordination with National Energy Education Development (NEED) to train teachers and implement'the energy education program in the third,fourth,and fifth grades from across the Cape and Vineyard. • Awards include: NEED Region of the Year and the Association for Energy Professionals (AESP) International Award of Merit for Innovation in Marketing. Energy efficiency improvements for the town include: Cape Cod Regional Technical High School,Marstons Mills East Elementary School,First District Court,Barnstable DPW,Osterville Community Center and Centerville Elementary School. . A new program implemented in the spring of 2005 called Cape Light Compact Green enables electric customers to choose to pay a little more per month in order to receive either 50% or 100% green energy in their power supply. A portion of the money spent returns to the town to be used for renewable energy projects. Due to the voluntary efforts of those residents who participate in the CLC Green and power supply renewable energy certificate credits from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, the Town of Barnstable will be participating in the Solarize Our Schools Campaign with the first school to be accommodated in 2006.

Grant money is helped to fund this programming. • We have worked with the school administration to fund the required summer reading for Barnstable students. Each of the seven libraries received a$1,500 grant from the Enoch Cobb Trust to purchase books from the reading lists. • The Library serves as a meeting center for many in the community. Bridge Groups, the Coast Guard Auxiliary, the Progressive Club, and our Book Club are just some of the groups using our facilities. • Our Board of Trustees and staff have begun preliminary work on a new Long Range Plan. As a part of our planning a patron survey will be given to the public in late summer. PROGRAMS • Children's programs continue to be our main focus and our biggest success. We currently have four Story Hour sessions during the school year.All sessions have a waiting list.In addi- tion we have a weekly evening storytime. This year we added an after school program for children in morning kindergarten. Additional programming, such as craft sessions and Turn off the TV events, are held throughout the year. 4-H Babysitting classes are held twice a year, and each is followed up with a "Get Acquainted Tea" to introduce the new sitters to parents with,young children. The Summer Reading Program is a huge success, with more than 200 children enrolled. Together they read nearly 3,000 hours each summer. In addition the children get to experience some wonderful educational programs. • Adult programming included a lecture on the Cape Cod Baseball League and a reenactment of the era leading up to the American Revolution. "Silent Movie Shows", an entertaining program with original music and classic silent films was quite successful. FUNDRAISING • The Library must raise the funds for nearly half its annual budget through a variety of means. Income from the endowment, the Annual Appeal, grants and memorial and honorary gifts help us to continue to offer good service. In addition we hold an annual Auction and Wine- tasting that is quite successful. The Centerville Library Bookstore is an enormous success. • The Friends of the Centerville Library conduct much anticipated Craft and Greens Sales, Jewelry Sales, Fashion Shows and House Tours to.assist the Library with its operating budg- et. These events also serve to make people in the community aware of the Library and all it offers. • The Children's Attic Sales that were held in October and June make possible all of the won- derful programming we offer to the children of Barnstable.

Their fundraising efforts support museum passes,.large print books,unabridged audio books and children's programs, as well as occasional special projects.

Kathleen L. Swetish Library Director 146 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 Barnstable Public Schools REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE The School Committee is pleased to report that the 2005-2006 school year saw further progress in the evolution of the Barnstable school system towards site-based management. Our goal remains to establish a system in which each school, through its administrators, staff and parents, has greater control over the decisions that affect the unique needs of its students. The school district's greatest changeover the past year occurred with the retirement of Tom McDonald. Tom provided the district with 33 years of exemplary service, and his leadership, enthusiasm and sense of humor will be missed. His two years as Interim Superintendent will long be remembered for the innovative reforms that he carried out with Assistant Superintendent Glen Anderson. Some of these reforms include: • The consolidation of the school district's finance and personnel offices with those of the Town The creation of new financial processes, such as annual spending plans for each school, that allow for an accurate accounting of all site costs • A reorganization of the central office and the assignment of directors to oversee the areas of Early Childhood Education, Research and Assessment, Student Services, Grants Management, and Curriculum (with additional Curriculum Coordinators for 7-12th grade Math and English) In seeking our next Superintendent, the district was fortunate to have the services of an excellent Superintendent Search Committee, consisting of Co-Chairs Patrick Butler and Janet Guidrey, Harvey Irwin, Lisa Miller,Michael Smith, Raffaele Kaddy,Janice Kinder,Jack McLeod, and David Lawler. After an intensive process, the search committee provided the School Committee with three highly qualified candidates. The School Committee was then fortunate to hire Dr. Patricia Grenier as our.new Superintendent of Schools, and we have moved into a new era under her guidance: This brief report cannot begin to point out the many achievements accomplished by our staff over the past year. We sincerely appreciate the on going efforts of Barnstable's administra- tors, teachers and staff members, who work diligently to provide our students with the best educational opportunities possible. We thank Town Council Liaison Janice Barton and Student Envoys Meghan Wareham and Kelly Erhard for their counsel to us throughout the year.We also thank the hundreds of persons who graciously volunteer their time in our schools.

C .ti W y � CL ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 149 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT At the time of the writing of this report, I must admit I have held the position of Superintendent of the Barnstable Schools for one month. In an effort to accurately reflect the system, I engaged in discussions with central office colleagues and researched reports and documents. Ironically, one of the main events of the past year was the search for a successor to the then interim superintendent, Tom McDonald. Mr. McDonald held the position of interim superintendent for two years. He stepped into the role after serving as teacher and principal in the Barnstable Schools for over 30 years. His leadership and dedication to educational excel- lence was significant! The process for replacing Mr. McDonald was coordinated by the School Committee in conjunction with the New England School Development (NESDEC). The search committee consisted of teachers, parents, administrators, community members, a Town Council member and a School Committee member. Following multiple interviews, site visits to candidates' current districts and visits to Barnstable Schools, I, Patricia Gremer, was selected as the next Superintendent. Community members and faculty and staff throughout the villages and schools extended a warm welcome. The most significant impression that I received during my early orientation to the schools was the sense of pride that employees and parents shared regarding our schools. The hallmarks of the year were many. Mr. McDonald and Assistant Superintendent Glen Anderson, also a long-time Barnstable educator and administrator, continued their efforts to bring financial clarity and openness to the budget process. Each school within the district, including the Horace Mann Charter Schools, received an equitable spending allocation'to support site-based leadership. As you will read on the following pages,each school worked dili- gently to ensure academic success for all.students. Respecting the district goals, each school identified individual goals with the support of Site-based Councils and Boards of Directors. The overarching district goals were as follows: • To develop a comprehensive data-driven plan to maximize student achievement for all students • To develop a three=year comprehensive plan to ensure financial stability in the district with a focus on student achievement . • To develop a plan to address professional development needs for the next five years • To develop a comprehensive capital plan to ensure meeting the infrastructure needs of the district for the next ten years • To consolidate finance and human resources with the Town of Barnstable Teachers throughout the elementary schools piloted a software program designed to provide accurate, timely, and organized information of student assessment data. This program allowed teachers to access pertinent information through classroom computers,enabling teach- ers to make instructional decisions necessary for each child. This assessment initiative was a complement to a kindergarten through grade eight project to test students throughout the many Barnstable schools with a common math assessment. These efforts are the foundation to our work in achieving our goal of ensuring that all children will learn to their potential. Significant professional development was directed toward this project. Teachers in all schools used the five early dismissal afternoons to work together to both learn current educa- tional practices as well as to develop new teaching strategies and curricula. Meeting the needs of all students through diverse teaching methods and strengthening teaching practices in all reading were a professional development focus. The financial monitoring and Town—School consolidation efforts progressed effectively. School-based budgeting allowed for more careful assessment of spending patterns and over time 150 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT.2006 will provide significant data for analysis of needs versus spending. The consolidation efforts fostered a "bringing" together of two worlds with the hope of streamlining practices and processes. Barnstable is somewhat unique in both of these initiatives and staff members should be congratulated for their flexibility and collaboration. The assessment of facilities and the identification of the need to improve maintenance was a priority of the past year. Recognizing that past limited budgets limited resources for the .maintenance of buildings, funds were allocated to begin "deep cleaning" of our schools and to develop a systematic process for structural and cosmetic improvements. Roof and furnace replacements,carpet and tile updating,trim painting,and the beginning of technology improve- ments are but a few of the many deficits that were addressed. A position of Director of Facilities was developed to provide focus on the long-term facility needs, including the identification of appropriate educational spaces for the current and future enrollment.. It is certainly my privilege to write this report. I hope I have done justice to the many accomplishments of my colleagues. . I look forward to working with the many talented and dedicated members of the Barnstable school teams for the benefit of our students. Respectfully submitted, Patricia B. Gremer, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools BARNSTABLE WEST BARNSTABLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL As our school doors opened on August 31, 2005 the enrollment. at Barnstable-West Barnstable Elementary School stood at 255 students in grades K-4. Early this school year we suffered a loss with the passing of First Grade teacher Mrs. Mary Butler. Her love of children and sense of adventure will be her legacy at BWB. Our school year revolved around two major goals as outlined in our School Accountability Plan. The first was in the area of mathematics. Professional devel- opment activities for teachers were provided. Updated math materials were purchased for Grades 3 and 4.A part-time Math Teacher Assistant was brought on staff. The BCAS assessment system was used to monitor student progress. A Family Math Night was held for Grade K-2 students.A"Math Challenge"was instituted for Grade 3-4 students.All the above were imple- mented towards our goal of improving students' overall knowledge and skills in mathematics. Our second goal was to create an understanding amongst BWB students of the importance of becoming contributing citizens of the world.During this past school year this was done by rais- ing understanding and funds for Heifer International. Of special note is the leadership that was displayed by our committee of Fourth Grade students who planned and organized the activities towards this effort. One of the major undertakings of the BWB School Council was to review the BWB Mission Statement and determine if it reflected the end goals for our school today and in the coming years.The Council gathered input and surveyed parents and staff and revised our Mission state- ment as follows; "The Mission of Barnstable-West Barnstable Elementary School is to promote academic excellence, integrity and respect for others; inspiring children to become lifelong learners and contributing citizens of the world." ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 151 The feeling of community has always been strong at BWB. Parent involvement has been a constant. We are fortunate to have many parents and other community members who volun- teer in classrooms and work with small student groups. We also had parents step-up to run specific programs that benefited our students. Some examples (and certainly not an all inclu- sive list) are: Energy Day (Chris Powicki), Math Night (Tina Crook, Sue Tilton, Al Tate) and Soccer.(Sue Derosier). The PTO continues to fund an outstanding array of enrichment programs for our students. Among these were the Tap Team Two Dance Program, Art Goes to School,Allegretto Music as well as many grade specific science and social studies programs. Finally,in June we said goodbye to Mrs. Kathy Foley as she retired after twenty-seven years as a Fourth Grade Teacher at BWB. She touched the lives of many students as a positive model and a caring teacher.Her dedication and service to our school community will be sorely missed. We wish her only the best in the future. The students, staff and parents are proud of Barnstable-West Barnstable Elementary. We will continue to work together in helping our students reach their full academic potential. Respectfully submitted, Frank Gigliotti, Principal CENTERVILLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL The Centerville School Community said goodbye to one of the fir 1 pillars of the Centerville School. Mrs. Karen Darrah retired after teaching for 23 years. Karen touched the lives of thousands of chil- dren. Those fortunate enough to pass through her doors have had the experience of her expert teaching. Mrs. Darrah's love of Science was always evident in her "hands on" lessons. No one who ever had Mrs. Darrah as a teacher will ever forget the biographies she had them read. And then... those reports...dressing as the char- acter in the book and presenting the story "first hand!" There is a short fable about a man walking along the shore after a storm. He was throwing beached starfish back into the sea. Another man questioned if this mattered; as most of them would surely wash back onto the shore. As the first man threw another starfish back into the ocean, he said, "It mattered to that one." This epitomizes Mrs. Darrah's life in teaching. She taught thousands of individuals over her twenty years of classes at Centerville School. Each one mattered! Our school opened in September with an enrollment of 319 students in grades Kindergarten through Grade 4. We also have a number of district-wide Special Needs Programs located in our facility. These children are integrated into the regular education setting whenev- er possible. They offer many opportunities for their classmates to understand what children with disabilities go through during a school day. And, concurrently, the children with special needs learn from their peers in the regular education classroom. This has been a very success- ful program due to the dedication of all the staff here at Centerville School. It is truly a team effort which results in an enriching experience for all. Centerville School also houses over 60 preschoolers who remind us each day'of how special, curious and active three and four year olds can be. 152 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 We continue to upgrade our understanding and delivery of mathematical concepts. We used part of our curriculum budget to purchase a technology based Accelerated Math program that allows children to progress at their own speed through a series of levels. At the same time, the faculty and school council identified the need to increase professional development in the area of Language Arts. A portion of our Professional Development budget was earmarked to hire consultants from the Empowering Writers program. These consultants aided the teachers in developing the best way to teach writing concepts from Kindergarten through Fourth Grade. Also, curriculum teams were established. Their tasks were to research our children's writing data,look into the best way to teach concepts and build a scope and sequence document which was aligned with the Massachusetts Frameworks. To their credit, they accomplished all of these endeavors and published a detailed document defining benchmarks for each grade level in Writing. What the children learned from this new writing emphasis was demonstrated in a culmi- nating event in the spring. A presentation entitled"Young Authors" showcased the writing that the children had done through the year. All who attended were fascinated with the talent and abilities exhibited. We, as a Centerville Community, continued to watch and express our concerns with the violence and aggressive behavior portrayed in the media and, unfortunately, in schools around the nation. In response to this, Centerville School reemphasized our "Sailing into Success" activities and added the "Second Step" anti-bulling program. Both of these initiatives acknowl- edge and reward positive behaviors in all areas of the school. The motto of"Be Responsible, Be-Respectful and Be Safe" permeates every lesson and action taken by both the Staff and Students. The project began with the appearance of the Harlem Rockets Basketball Team who used humor and sportsmanship to emphasize good character traits. We have a very active and supportive PTO. Through their efforts our school was able to purchase a digital camera,computer projectors,televisions and computers. They have been the bulwarks of our technology advances. Along with these purchases, they also supported each teacher with money to acquire materials for their.classrooms, fund field trips and subscriptions to classroom magazines. Our end of the year field day would not be the same without their donation of T-shirts for each child in the school. We continue to benefit from the support of our parent volunteers. Their daily effort to help out in our classrooms enhances our academic programs. This spirit of volunteerism spills over into the High School with the Community Outreach Program. Many of our past students return to assist and mentor children. These are some of our own Home Grown Heroes. This year, the school system initiated a new communication tool for schools. ConnectED .enables each principal to notify the individual school community of changes in schedules, upcoming events and days off. It has been a great help for parents who would otherwise depend only on "backpack notifications". Oftentimes these notices don't make it home. With ConnectED, a phone call is made directly to the home or cell phone of the parent or guardian. The entire Centerville Community is proud of our school. We work cooperatively to provide our students with the tools necessary for them to be successful. We look forward to their accomplishments in the future. Respectfully submitted, Sheila Burns, Principal ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 153 w_ COTUIT/MARSTONS MILLS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 0ur,school opened on Wednesday,August 31, 2005, with an enrollment of 261 students in grades kindergarten through 4. Once again, we were able to offer our youngest students the option of a full day kindergarten experience. About two-thirds of the parents of students enrolled in our kindergarten chose to pay the kindergarten fee and took advantage of the full- day opportunity. We also welcomed two district-wide programs to the Cotuit building. The Gateway Program, directed by.Ms. Linda Tetreault, and the Office of the Elementary Librarian, Mrs.Jane Kenney, now call Cotuit School home! Our school goal, as always, is to provide high quality, enriched academic instruction to students in an environment that promotes personal and social development. To this end, our school has embraced the Professional Learning Community model of whole school restructur- ing. In a professional learning community, educators create an environment that fosters mutu- al cooperation, emotional support, and personal growth as they work together to achieve what they cannot accomplish alone. Our School Improvement Plan for the 2005-06 school year detailed our continued emphasis on the improvement of student achievement in the English Language Arts and Mathematics. These two academic areas were the focus of much of our collaborative faculty work as well as the significant topics driving our school-wide profession- al development activities. When the Spring 2006 MCAS scores are reported in the fall,we will be better able to measure our success in maintaining continued growth in these areas. Acknowledging the importance of regular school attendance,our School Improvement Plan also aimed to reduce the number of our students who attend school less than 92 percent of the time. Research on attendance patterns provides clear evidence that attendance affects student outcomes generally, and it particularly makes a difference on student performance on the MCAS. Our efforts to reduce the number and percentage of students absent more than 8 percent of the school year were quite successful. In Cotuit, the number of students who were absent more than 8 percent of the time dropped from 13 percent in 2004-05 to just 8 percent in 2005-06. In the Marstons Mills building, the numbers took an even more significant drop from 32 percent in 2004-05 to just 18 percent in 2005-06. Our intention to continue to prepare our students to advance as learners, self-reliant indi- viduals, and productive members of the community has not wavered. Also.in our School Improvement Plan was a goal focused on student participation in community service. During the 2005-06 school year, our Grade 4 students targeted the nutritional requirements of the School Committee's new Wellness Policy,poised for implementation in the coming school year. With guidance from five faculty members trained in the Community Service Learning Model, the students examined their daily snack intakes, compared them with the wellness guidelines, and proceeded to develop healthier snack alternatives,including a `cookbook'of their favorites which has been made available to all Barnstable students and their parents on the Cotuit/Marstons Mills web site. The culmination of this learning experience was a student pres- entation to the School Committee in June, complete with snack samples for all members. Judging from the Committee response, the Healthy Snack Cookbook should be a huge success! Our thanks go to our community partners,the Marstons Mills Stop and Shop and the Cape Cod Extension 4-H, for their important support of this project. 154 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006. Our annual report would be incomplete without mention of the richness provided to our school by over 200 volunteer parents and community members. Our Parent/Teacher Organization continues to support an after-school enrichment program in both buildings. Through PTO generosity and grants from the Marian Jordan Charitable Foundation, our students have extended their science learning,enjoyed arts and crafts,delved into United States history, cooked, sewed, learned to play Chess, and explored their musical interests with the recorder or as a member of our Tone Chimes Choir. All the while, our PTO and the Enoch Cobb Fund shared the task of providing 100 percent of the funding for classroom field trips and enrichment programs at all grade levels. Each of our classrooms also has been blessed with volunteers who arrive regularly to tutor, lead book discussion groups, provide direction for the Math Super.Stars enrichment program, monitor and support our Accelerated Reader program, and work with their Reading Buddies. We have continued to receive the generous support of the Cotuit/Santuit Historical Society, the Community Foundation of Cape Cod, the Cape Cod Ballet, the Cahoon Museum of Art, and the Hyannis Rotary. Each of these organizations has provided financial support to extend the creativity and expertise of our teachers. Their gifts have allowed our students to explore the richness of the Cape Cod environment, and experience wonderful artistic and musical programs. If you would like to know. more about our school, please give us a call to arrange an appointment to visit.

Leary, Principal HYANNIS EAST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL rhe 2005-2006 school year ended with an increase in enrollment at " 1 Hyannis East Elementary School to 333 students. This is a gain of 15 students from the 318 students, in Kindergarten — Grade 4, who - - -- started the year. Our students and staff worked extremely hard this year to accomplish their learning goals. Our end of the year activities, such as the Annual Awards Assembly and the Fourth Grade Fun day, sponsored by our PTO, were excellent ways to celebrate our students' accomplishments. We also had the opportunity to acknowledge the four teachers who retired from Hyannis East this year: Peg Chapman; Barbara Harrington; Susan Logan-Malizia; and Trudy Whelan. Thanks to retiring teacher Trudy Whelan's previous efforts to establish the Hyannis East Scholarship Fund, a highlight. of this year's Awards Assembly was the presentation of eight$1000 scholarships to former Hyannis East students to fund their higher education. Much progress was made by our staff to implement our School Accountability Plan goals to improve student achievement in the areas of English Language Arts, Math and Attendance. Faculty and staff formed Professional Learning Communities, collaborative teams which focused on aligning our curriculum to state standards, developing grade level expectations, and creat- ing units of instruction and assessments to improve our student learning. A new student mentor program was one of the strategies used to support students in their school attendance and participation. Our newly formed Curriculum Data Team focused on analyzing current and historical data to make school-wide recommendations for instructional improvement. Teachers were also ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 155 trained this year in using the new technology program for analyzing student achievement data, SchoolBrains. This web-based program provides teachers with current information on student performance in reading and math, enabling them to adjust instruction to improve student learn- ing. A major focus of the Hyannis East school community this year was the school-wide imple- mentation of the classroom-based social skills curriculum,Second Step.Hyannis East is the only elementary school in Barnstable where all students are taught the Second Step strategies. In March, we held a Second Step Kick-Off Day to reinforce the skills that the students learned in Health class and to announce our new student recognition program, Second Step Stars. It was a great day that ended with an exciting school-wide Second Step Rally which included Book Fair gift certificate awards to our Second Step Poster Contest Winners. We are very proud of our students and their effort to use the strategies and concepts they have learned in their Second Step lessons. We are confident that reinforcement of these behaviors contributed to our building wide focus on learning. Our Parent Activities Committee (PAC) enriched our students with opportunities that would not have been possible without their support, including field trips, family nights, and programs by a storyteller and the Bayside Skippers. PAC coordinated with BJ's Club communi- ty program for the second year in a row. Hyannis East would also like to acknowledge the generosity of the Cobb Grants which funded curriculum-based field trips and programs for our students.Additional recognition is given to our community partners such as the Gillette Retiree Outreach Program Volunteers, Forestdale Mobil Station, the Hyannis BOP of Elks, and the Lower Cape Women's Republican Club for their support of reading and math enrichment for our students. Other community groups who donated to our school programs include Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, Country Buffet, and the Ladies Auxiliary of the VFW Again this year, students in grades one through three received free dental care through the Forsyth Institute Elementary School-based Dental Program. We are fortunate to have strong partnerships with the community groups that add to the quality of our students' school experience. For the third year, Hyannis East students benefited from the 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant for an after school program that enables students in grades two through four to increase their mathematics and reading skills. We are grateful to our District's CS2 Entrepreneurs for acquiring and maintaining this valuable resource for Hyannis East students to augment their academic success. Finally, the School Administration was most supportive in developing and implementing a building improvement initiative which began with the removal of much excess and outdated materials and furniture from the storage areas and classrooms,followed by a thorough cleaning of the school. In December, a professional cleaning company cleaned the building from top to bottom as well as the building ventilation system, including the dismantling of every unit ventilator and replacing of all filters. Post air quality testing showed improved air quality with dust levels down significantly and improvement in overall cleanliness and clutter. Additional building initiatives for Hyannis East will be included in the Barnstable Public School facility improvement plans for the district in the upcoming years. It has been my pleasure to serve as the Principal of such a committed and caring learning community as Hyannis East Elementary School. I have been inspired each and every day by the dedication of the staff, the extra effort of our students, and the support of our families. I join our school community in welcoming new Principal, Thomas Larrabee to Hyannis East Elementary School. Respectfully submitted, Karen Stonely, Principal 156 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 HYANNIS WEST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ffymv�'ts w,ESt Hyannis West Elementary School opened in the fall of 2005 ELEMENTf4RY SCHOOL,__ _V with approximately 280 students in grades K-4. In January of 2006 we added three pre school classrooms to our building with an approximately 24 students, 4 teachers and 6 other staff ` members. The addition of these 3 and 4 year old students, their teachers, and their assistants added to the already wonderful diversity of our school community. Our School Improvement Plan emphasizes improving attendance assessment scores and developing a new science curriculum. Regular school.attendance has a strong correlation to student achievements as measured by assessment scores. Our school attendance policy requires us to open a dialogue with families of students whose absences are high in an effort to deter- mine how we can improve that situation. We continue to see our overall school attendance figures maintain a higher percentage than our baseline level of two years ago. We also formed a science curriculum development team made up of staff members this year. They developed grade level curriculums and lesson plan folders for the various units. This curriculums and lessons will start to be implemented in the fall of 2006. Hyannis West students continue to achieve at high levels as indicated by their spring 2005 MCAS scores in the grades 3 and 4 English Language Arts and the grade 4 Mathematics assessments. Data driven decisions in determining core curriculum instructional practices remains as a vital part of our school's academic success.Our school council is a big part of that decision mak- ing process. Its members are made up of 5 parent and 5 teacher representatives, the school prin- cipal and a secretary. This year was the final year on the council for two long term mem- bers. Mark Skala and William Crossley were both instrumental in the development of the many programs and initiatives that have made Hyannis West such a successful school. We will miss their leadership and we thank them for their contributions to our school and wish them well. Our professional development this year focused on improving the delivery of instruction to our growing population of ELL (English Language Learners) students. We also instituted indi- vidual Student Success Plans to address the needs of those students who might be struggling in particular academic subject areas. This will be an ongoing initiative in an effort to ensure that all of our students achieve proficiency in core curriculum subjects according to the mandate of the federal NCLB (No Child Left Behind) Act. This year,in an effort to enhance the overall academic experience of our students,we added a Cultural Enrichment component to our schools general curriculum in grades 1 — 4. Well known"Artists in Residence",who specialized in various art forms,visited each grade level over multiple days. Grade 1 learned about traditional music and its instruments with Jeff Davis. Grade 2 had story telling and improvisation with Diane Postoian. Grade 3 also learned about story telling in the oral tradition with Angela Klingler,and grade 4 students produced and acted in the play "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" with the "Vermont Guild Players". We plan on continuing this component of our school's educational mission in the coming years. As usual members of our community played an important part in assuring our student's educational experience.During the winter, the Hyannis Elks generously donated dictionaries to each of our third graders. The students were also able to have numerous field trips and attend a performance of the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra through the philanthropy of the Enoch Cobb Fund. The PTO continues to be a strong supporter of our school. This year they again rose over $10,000 to help fund enrichments, such as cultural performances and field trips. Many other local businesses also donated coupons, gift certificates, and discounts and we wish to take this opportunity to thank them all for their support of education. This year marked the retirement of one of Hyannis West's longest serving staff members. Ms.Brenda Teleen concluded her tenure as a kindergarten teacher.Her dedication,compassion, and commitment to students will be missed but we wish her great success in all of her future endeavors. ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 157 Mr. Fredrick Scully, the principal of Hyannis West for the past 17 years also decided it was time to move on to other challenges. His outstanding leadership took a struggling school and transformed it into one of the finest elementary schools in the country. His leadership style, superior decision making ability, and professional skill in being able to develop a caring school culture with a unity of purpose, has made him mentor and a model for many school principals within and without our district. This includes Hyannis West's new Principal Mr.Jonathan Hirst, who took over the position on July 1, 2006, and who was also a former staff member of our school. We will all greatly miss Mr. Scully but we wish him well in all of his future pursuits. All of the students,staff,and parents are proud of Hyannis West Elementary School. Our school community continues to be committed to ensuring that all of our students achieve at the high- est level of their academic ability and to the continued expansion of the educational experience that we offer them.

Bedford, MA 158 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 Janice Kinder— Community Member; Advocacy Committee Member; Vice President, Business Development, Hospice & Palliative Care of Cape Cod Edward Deusser—School Principal As a charter school we have adopted the Accelerated School design model. We chose this model because it is a comprehensive school model that is closely aligned to the philosophy at Marstons Mills East Horace Mann Charter Public School. In an Accelerated School, the best educational program usually reserved for gifted and talented students is shared with all students to help them perform successfully. Classrooms are transformed into powerful learning environ- ments where students are encouraged to think creatively and explore their interests,and where they receive encouragement to achieve at high.levels. Accelerated Schools seek out, acknowl- edge, and build upon every child's natural curiosity, encouraging students to construct, knowledge through exploration and discovery and to see connections between school activities and their lives outside the classroom. You can learn more at www.acceleratedschools.net. THREE PRINCIPLES OF ACCELERATED SCHOOLS ARE: • Unity of Purpose—members of the school communityshare a dream for the school and work together toward a common set of goals that will benefit all students • Empowerment Coupled with Responsibility—every member of the school community is empowered to participate in a shared decision-making process, to share in the responsibility for implementing these decisions, and to be held accountable for the outcomes of these decisions • Building on Strengths—Accelerated School communities recognize and utilize the knowledge, talents and resources of every member of the school community AT MARSTONS MILLS EAST HMCPS WE HAVE A POWERFUL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. • Trained Staff in Accelerated Schools Process • Active School Community: Parents involved in decision-making process • Multi-Age Classes • Field Trips • Enrichment Clusters • Research Training using I.I.M. (Independent Investigation Method) • Empowering Writers Program • Responsive Classroom • Cooperative Learning • Center-Based Instruction • Literacy Instruction using Literature Circles • Whole-School Enrichments • Cultural Enrichments In a written report received from Accelerated Schools PLUS, it was stated that, "Marston Mills East Horace Mann Charter Public School's growth during the 2005-2006 academic year. In their second year as anAccelerated School, the school community shows exceptional growth towards their goal to become a flagship Accelerated School and a place where student learning is the heartbeat of the school. The philosophy of acceleration, the fully implementing gover- nance structure, and increase in the values are evidence of their growth during this past school year." We also experienced our first Department of Education site visit in May 2006. The final statement in the written report received states, "the school has significant evidence for its case that it is an academic success, a viable organization, and faithful to the terms of its charter." ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 159 Our mission is to be a whole school community that provides a challenging and enriching learning environment for all children Kindergarten through Grade 4; and where all children achieve high academic standards and develop character. We support the whole child and continuous improvement in the teaching process, and consider a whole school community as integral to success. The staff,parents and students of Marstons Mills East Horace Mann Charter Public School continue to strive toward each child developing to their full potential. As principal, it is my pleasure to work with such a group of dedicated professionals and committed parents.

We appreciate your feedback. Thank you for your continued support of Marstons Mills East Horace Mann Charter Public School. Together we will continue on the path of excellence in education. Respectfully submitted, Edward A. Deusser, Principal - " - OSTERVILLE / OSTERVILLE BAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Our school had many projects this past school year.Every school in the Barnstable District has developed a School Improvement Plan with several goals to work on over a three to five year period. One of rt� Wi our goals has been to improve student achievement.We have been one --.- of the first schools in Barnstable to implement the first stage of a school—wide improvement model. Toward that goal, we have hired a consultant to work with our staff in the area of math. Dr. Scott Methe from the May Institute observed teachers so that he could assist them with the best practices to improve their instruction. He met with our staff and provided in-service training to them as well. We also looked at the best ways to utilize our math text and materials to get maximum results. We have a Curriculum Data Team of teachers who are working with Dr.Marilyn Nouri. She and the committee are looking at how to implement best practices in math. Work that was begun during the last school year will now continue into this.school year. Our Reading Specialist, Sally Orcutt, has been working with staff at both schools. Grades K-2 have been working on administering the DIBELS reading tests to insure that our teachers are meeting the needs of their children in the area of reading. She has also been going into class- room to model writing so that our students can improve their skills in that area as well. Longer essays and more fully developed topic are high on their list of improvements. In September, we will be holding our annual Curriculum Nights. Parents meet with the principal and teachers to hear about the curriculum expectation for their child's class and how they can best assist their child in the learning process. We often get 100% attendance at these evening events and we are very glad that our parents take this important program so seriously. We feel it is a great way to begin the year and communicate clear expectations to our parents. The Osterville School is very fortunate to have a very active Parent-Teacher Organization. We have dedicated hard working parents who support our school and are very generous with their time and talents. In the past we have offered many activities to our students and their fam- ilies and this year will be no exception. We had a school dance in the fall and many of our 160 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 families attended to get to know each other better and socialize. We also held a BINGO Night, a Story Night and Miss Spider's Tea Party. Our PTO meets on the second Wednesday of each month and all are welcome to attend. As a result of a golf tournament and silent auction held at the Wianno Club, our parents were able to raise enough funding to purchase a Smart Board for Osterville Bay and Leveled Readers for the Osterville Elementary. Another of our goals has been "Healthy, Happy and Wise." Each school in the Commonwealth is now required to have a wellness portion of their School Improvement Plan. Osterville was the first in the district to do this and it was incorporated a year ahead of sched- ule. We got off to a great start.. We had before school walking programs for all our students, organized games during recess and a great PE program. We have also successfully been using a conflict resolution program know as Second Step to help with all student behaviors. An additional goal of the wellness policy is the reduction of sugary foods in our schools. We have eliminated all soda from our vending machines-and our parents have been educated by nutritionists about healthier choices for student lunches and snacks. The amount of sugary snacks that has entered our school has dramatically decreased. Our parents have made a terrif- ic contribution toward this goal and they should be praised for their efforts. I know that this will continue and grow stronger in the future. We are all looking forward to making this school year one of our very best! Respectfully submitted, Donna Lee Forloney, Principal BARNSTABLE HORACE MANN CHARTER SCHOOL ' Barnstable Horace Mann Charter School serves all children in grades five and six from the Town of Barnstable. Four hundred and fifty nine fifth graders and four hundred sixty eight sixth graders attended BHMCS during the 2005-2006 academic year for a combined total of nine hundred twenty seven students. „ Our projected enrollment for the 2006-2007 academic year is nine hundred fifty three students, divided between twenty two grade five classrooms and twenty grade six classrooms. Although our school is physically large and holds many students, our students, staff, and parents feel part of a community, which gives us a friendly, warm, and inviting school atmosphere. We pride ourselves in providing a small school feel in a large school setting. Barnstable Horace Mann Charter School is part of the Barnstable Public Schools, however, we are governed differently. Unlike other schools here in Barnstable, a Board of Trustees governs our school. The Board, a body composed of fourteen members, is responsible for adherence to the Charter which has been granted by the Massachusetts Department of Education. Each Trustee brings individual strengths to the Board and is asked to contribute to our sub-committees, which include executive, finance, community relations, governance, and academic affairs. While the Board governs the school, the Principal manages the day-to-day operation of our school. Barnstable Horace Mann Charter School faculty and staff are fully integrated into the deci- sion making process. Shared leadership and effective communication is the foundation for the success of our school. Members of the staff work on specific task forces in order to improve ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE 161 instruction, build curricula, improve technology use, and create a positive school climate. Throughout the academic year, teachers meet routinely in order to coordinate academic efforts in achieving our goal of excellence for all and ensure student learning. Professional develop- ment opportunities abound for our staff during the academic year and summer. Through the dedication of four half days and one full day during the school year, our faculty and staff will benefit from solid professional learning, which will ultimately improve instruction, leading to increased student achievement. Students at Barnstable Horace Mann Charter School are engaged in a rigorous curriculum, which utilizes a thematic approach to instruction. Faculty and staff are provided professional development on effective teaching strategies, student centered instruction, data analysis, and differentiated instruction. Our staff are lifelong learners who engage their students.and base instruction on individual needs. Students gain from effective professional development as witnessed by our MCAS scores and AYP Report. The Parent Advisory Council has a strong commitment and, once again, is organizing a magazine drive in order to raise funds which will be utilized to fund in-school and out-of- school field trips and enriching activities for our students. In the past, our fifth grade students have enjoyed Bay Colony (an interactive visit by Colonial men and women), The Owl Project (an up close and personal examination of various owl species), and classroom field trips to the Wildlife Sanctuary in Orleans. Meanwhile, our sixth graders were treated to small group field trips to the YMCA Ropes Course in order to develop trust, cooperation, and teamwork skills, The Raptor Project (which provided education and entertainment with birds of prey), and the Geography Guy (a special look at world geography). Here at the Barnstable Horace Mann Charter School, we look forward to the upcoming 2006 -2007 academic year. We hope to continue providing the best possible education for students and bring together the faculty,staff, students, and community members in celebrating the successes of Barnstable Horace Mann Charter School. The faculty, staff, and Board of Trustees are dedicated to the success of our students, and our mission of "Excellence for All, Excellence by All" remains the bedrock of our school! Respectfully submitted, Kara Peterson, Principal All BARNSTABLE MIDDLE SCHOOL The 2005-2006 school year witnessed the third year of a re-organized Barnstable Middle School. The year was a mix of reaping the benefits from the previous ear's hard work P� g P Y and the efforts put forth to continue to improve the school for students, parents, and staff. The school joined with the Massachusetts Teachers Association in a collaborative effort to provide professional development for our staff in the areas of Standards Based Learning and Differentiated instruc- tion. Academic departments refined their curriculum in conjunction with these concepts and developed benchmark assessment tools to monitor student learning. Our PTO continued the fund raising program it began a year ago and raised over $20,000 for the school. These funds provided for after school busses and an anti-bullying program for all students. Trying something different, the PTO put on a community wide concert with the band Entrain at the performing arts center at the high school. 162 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE ANNUAL REPORT 2006 The sixth annual Renaissance Faire in May was a great success. Inviting the community into the school to participate in fun and games but also to showcase our students. The Faire included our spelling bee and performances by our Hip-Hop dance group, band, chorus, and jazz ensemble. The proceeds from the Faire go to provide incentives and recognition to high achieving students. Through community outreach and personal efforts the administration and staff managed to improve student attendance, exceeding the state's requirements. Barnstable Middle School continues to focus on providing a safe and inviting educational setting and to promote high academic standards for all of our students. Respectfully submitted, Rick Bidgood, Principal BARNSTABLE HIGH SCHOOL 1_ Barnstable High School, a comprehensive high school focused on EAL serving a diverse population, is committed to providing for all students an academic program which offers intriguing, engaging, - and challenging course work. Students are encouraged to become active and responsible learners, to seek academic excellence, and to take full advantage of all the opportunities offered in our state-of- the-art facility. The student population is 510 freshmen,482 sophomores,427 juniors,and 426 seniors for a total of 1845 students. There are approximately 160 members on the teaching staff. In an effort .to meet the needs of our diverse student population, a number of new academic programs or initiatives were piloted last year and will continue or be expanded in the 2006-2007 school year. Project Excel increases opportunities for students to reach their academic and personal potential. This program allows opportunities for career exploration through work credit and internships. Students may also choose to participate in after school programs for credit recov- ery or personal satisfaction. Some seniors may elect to be fully scheduled in Project Excel in order,to complete graduation requirements in an alternative setting. Project Excel programs offered outside the regular school hours include internship/work credit, Hip Hop dance club, MCAS remedial programs, homework help and tutoring, senior English, and physical fitness and nutrition classes. Last year, 25 seniors completed requirements for a June 2006 diploma. One hundred forty six students participated in other of the after school programs,such as tutor- ing or fitness training. We look to expand Project Excel during the 2006-2007 school year. The Step Up Program, also begun in 2005-2006 will be expanded in 2006-2007. This program is designed to provide academic and personal support for freshmen who want to move from lower academic level classes to higher level classes. Last year fourteen students success- fully accomplished this in math classes. Teachers worked with these students during the sum- mer before freshman year to ease the transition from middle school into higher level classes. During the school year these students received support from tutors in the Project Excel after school program and from peer mentors. During the summer of 2006 this program has been expanded to include not only math but English as well. It is anticipated that approximately 50 students will participate during the 2006-2007 school year. While attending to the needs of those students in need of remedial or alternative forms of. instruction, the B.H.S. staff and administration is committed to continually challenging-the ANNUAL REPORT 2006 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE .163 already academically successful students. To that end, two initiatives will be continued in the upcoming school year. First a commitment has been made to increasing not only the number of Advanced Placement course offerings,but to increasing enrollment in those courses. A total of twelve AP courses are found in the 2006-2007 Program of Studies,compared to 9 courses the previous year. The new courses are Music Theory, Government Politics,and Statistics. A total of 423 students are enrolled in AP course, compared to 269 students in 2005-2006. As the demand for AP courses increases there is a need to provide ongoing professional development for teachers. Ten teachers attended AP workshops from July, 2005 to July, 2006. Another initiative designed to further challenge our higher performing students is the development of Magnet Units. These are units of study designed by teachers working collabo- ratively,often on interdisciplinary lessons. These units are designed to require students to raise the academic bar in terms of skills, effort, and achievement. Some of the units, developed and implemented last year or planned for this year are "The Greek and Latin Influences on Gaul", "Researching the Historical Background of A Tale of Two Cities", "Saving Seas", and "Raising Awareness and Issues Across the Lifespan". Eighteen teachers from eight different academic departments have contributed to this initiative so far. Through these programs and initiatives, along with all others found in the Program of Studies, Barnstable High School strives to involve all students in a course of studies which is engaging, relevant, and challenging.
