Mr. Hoben brings a wealth of experience and knowl- edge from his years of service on many town com- mittees. As Chairman of the Affordable Housing and Community Preservation Committees he has dem- onstrated leadership and commitment to the Town of Yarmouth. He has been an excellent resource and asset to the Board of Selectmen. Mr. Hoben was elected to replace Mr. James Saben, a life long Yarmouth resident, who retired from the Board af- ter three years of hard work and dedicated service to the Town. One of the most significant events in Yarmouth this year was the approval of a Growth Incentive Zone (GIZ) by the Cape Cod Commission and Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates. The GIZ allows the Town of Yarmouth to implement a Motel Bylaw passed at the 2005 annual town meeting, that will provide local zoning and Cape Cod Com- mission regulatory relief for motels that want to up- grade or change to a different use. The Motel By- law is a first step in the implementation phase of Yarmouth's long-range plan to improve and revital- ize Yarmouth. The first motel is underway as a brand new, modern Hampton Inn will replace one of our older motels. As part of the Motel Bylaw, a significant em- phasis has been placed on affordable workforce housing for residents. In addition, the Board of Se- lectmen has made housing for our workers a top priority and several articles on the warrant for the 2007 annual town meeting had money dedicated to housing. We established an affordable housing trust to provide more flexibility and opportunity for the town to take advantage of the real estate mar- ket to provide affordable housing options for resi- dents. The Cape Cod Commission and its relationship toYarmouth has been of concern to the Selectmen and many residents in town. The problem is that the planning and technical expertise of the Cape Cod Commission has been overshadowed by the regulatory arm of the Commission. The develop- ment and redevelopment of property in Yarmouth has been adversely affected by the rigorous, costly and time consuming regulatory process required by the Cape Cod Commission Act. Yarmouth residents voted to give the Selectmen a year to work with the Cape Cod Commission to resolve the regulatory issues and the Selectmen will report back to the 2008 town meeting on the progress made. A vote on whether or not the Town of Yarmouth should leave the Cape Cod Commission will occur at the 2008 annual town election. The Barnstable Municipal Airport continues to be a source of concern for the Town as the noise from flights over Yarmouth continue to be a signifi- cant problem for our residents. The Board of Se- lectmen has been meeting with a lawyer who spe- cializes in airports and airport noise issues, and we hope to have some relief from the noise as we de- velop a plan to present to the Barnstable Airport Commissioners. The Barnstable Municipal Airport terminal expansion project has also been of con- cern to the Board of Selectmen as we work to re- solve noise, pollution and traffic issues caused by the airport. The wind farm proposed for Nantucket Sound has been before the Cape Cod Commission and other federal and state regulatory agencies this year. The Board of Selectmen has attended hearings, given testimony and used a law firm in Boston to represent the Town in renegotiating the agreement for hosting the cable connecting the wind farm to the national grid in Yarmouth. One of the overwhelming and most significant issues before the residents of Yarmouth is our waste- water problem. We have tested our estuaries and bays and know that we have too much nitrogen from our septic systems getting in to our water. The ni- trogen will damage our habitats, the Cape water supply and our environment if we don't deal with the problem soon. Our planning is well underway, the baseline nitrogen level testing is almost finished, and we will start setting aside funds to deal with the cleanup. The solutions will be multiple, costly, long term, and an article on the 2008 town meeting war- rant to set aside funds to pay for wastewater cleanup. We have taken pride in our history and natural beauty by opening up scenic vistas and "undeveloping" areas along Route 28, as we return them to a natural setting or to mini -parks. The resi- dents have approved Community Preservation Funds to keep land in a natural, undeveloped state. We have preserved many historic projects and sites and are working on improving Packet Landing and a use for the former John Simpkins School. Our plans are also moving forward for a new marina for Yarmouth. We are trying to preserve and restore the natural and historic entities that make Yarmouth a unique place. The Town is facing the same financial constraints and problems that the citizens, state and federal government are facing. Costs are up for energy and health insurance, and financial aide from the state has been reduced as lottery sales and motel room taxes have fallen below last year's amounts. The Board of Selectmen has requested a budget for 2009 that stays within the limits of Proposition 2-1/2 rev- enues and all departments are being asked to re- duce budgets to accomplish this difficult task. We have settled all our union contracts and are trying to contain our expenses while we consider new sources of revenue and new ways of doing busi- ness. We have hope for the future and as we tackle our problems and enjoy our successes together, we will continue to make Yarmouth a wonderful place to live.

State aid rep- resented $1.5 million toward a $40 million munici- pal budget to the town, a slight increase from the year before. The agreement between the towns of Dennis and Yarmouth on the allocation of state aid to the DY regional school district was used for the first budget year and the town of Yarmouth was able to fund its share of the school assessment without overrides. The year was typical in that town departments held expense budgets level, and wages increased by the negotiated wage and step increases. Free cash decreased pushing off capital improvements and replacements. The police department, a source of hand-me-down vehicles for the town depart- ments increased the time between replacing cars to save money, effectively providing town depart- ments with even older vehicles; This has challenged departments with level -funded expense budgets to find ways to repair equipment including older ve- hicles. Our Standard and Poor's bond rating was low- ered from AA- to A+ because, as their credit profile on Yarmouth states, "The downgrade reflects the five-year trend of Yarmouth's deteriorating financial position". Several conditions sited by Standard and Poor's include expenses outpacing revenues 18% to 12%since 2001 leading to a narrowed reserve position. We will support efforts to building a stabi- lization reserve of 5% of operating expenses over the coming year so that our rating can be restored. Each year the town administrator prepares a list of estimated receipts or revenue the town receives outside of the property tax. This list, which includes beach fees, motel taxes, vehicle excise tax, state aid and other revenues, has shown flat growth over the past several years. We are watchful of the effect of the motel bylaw allowing for condo conversions as well as the newly established Growth Incentive Zone (GIZ) which allows the town greater control 13 over what development can occur in the zone. We are hopeful that motel redevelopment in the zone will offset any reductions to motel taxes lost to condo. conversions. Under the leadership of Town Administrator Robert Lawton and Assistant Town Administrator Peter Johnson -Staub, our town departments have shown innovation and creativity in dealing with tight budgets and we commend them for their consis- tent efforts. Because of their efforts, there has been minimal impact on services for residents of the town despite the fact that in 2007, Yarmouth maintained the 3rd Iewest tax rate on Cape Cod and ranked 291 out of 331 reporting towns in the state with an aver- age single family tax bill of $2,408. Taxes are low and municipal efficiency is high in Yarmouth. There is a parable which suggests that a frog will try to escape a pot of boiling water but will not jump from a gradually warmed pot even when it reaches a boiling point. Finance Committee con- cerns grow as diminishing resources challenge the Town's ability to provide services at current levels despite cost containment efforts of the town ad- ministration. Accordingly, we anticipate recom- mending budget and service cuts for the upcoming budget cycles to stay within the proposition 2 1/2 limits. We believe that taking action now will spare Yarmouth from being confronted with more painful decisions in the years to come. Respectfully submitted, William D. Bastian, Chairman Patrick Foran, Vice Chairman Betty -Jane Burkhardt, Clerk John C. Henderson Peter Slovak Edward Weissberger Carol Serafino Robert Kaiser Carlene Veara CAPITAL BUDGET. COMMITTEE Composed of seven volunteer members ap- pointed by the Finance Committee, the Capital Bud- get Committee is charged with reviewing the ten- year capital improvement plan as submitted by the Town Administrator. The capital improvement plan described below pertains to fiscal years 2008 through 2017. Staff support is provided by the As- sistant Town Administrator, Peter Johnson -Staub. The Committee met more than a dozen times to discuss the requests submitted by the Town of Yarmouth division and department heads. Individual Committee members also met with staff and made numerous site visits. Prior to the Committee's re- view, the division and department heads prioritized their Article 6 requests for the coming year as a group. In addition to the specific funding recommen- dations provided in the attachments, the Commit- tee submits the following observations and recom- mendations regarding the town's capital needs. ARTICLE 6 The committee attempts to provide some capi- tal funding to as many departments as possible. This year some departments which have received no funding in the recent past have been included in Article 6 and some departments have seen signifi- cant reductions in their requests. Article 6 Free Cash funding for this year — $900,000 — is slightly Tess than it was 20 years ago. This results in an average annual shortfall of approximately $500,000 which has a significant negative effect on all departments. In addition, this effect is cumulative and will result in a greater cost to the taxpayers when finally ad- dressed either by emergency borrowing, future over- rides or mandated repairs and maintenance. DEBT EXCLUSION The Capital Budget Committee (CBC) recom- mends the town seek a Debt Exclusion in the amount of $474,000. This amount would partially meet recurring and essential capital expenses for infrastructure maintenance and repairs. Last year the Committee recommended a Proposition 2-1/2 Override in order to fund these needs. This was not approved by the voters, but the need has not gone 14 away. Elimination of recurring operating expenses items in Article 6 could free up approximately $500,000 per year for true capital' projects. It is the recommendation of the Committee that operating budgets be funded in such a manner that recurring items be included in the division operating budgets. TOWN OWNED INFRASTRUCTURE Town owned infrastructure continues to require preventive maintenance and repair in order to en- sure their safe usage and maximize their useful life. Examples of items requiring regular expenditures include: window replacements, boilers, parking lot repairs, dredging, building repairs, etc. Presently, the Building &Grounds Division is not charged with maintenance of all town -owned build- ings and it does not have the resources necessary to do so. The current practice is that Building & Grounds maintains certain so-called "core building" and the remainder are maintained, by the division utilizing the facility. The Committee recommends that Building & Grounds be provided the resources to properly maintain all town -owned buildings, which may require the addition of one or more positions. The Committee further recommends that the town consider consolidating maintenance of town and school buildings into one division provided a cost sharing arrangement is first agreed to by the town and school committee. WASTEWATER TREATMENT The estuary study due to be completed in 2007 will have enormous impact on the town's and indi- vidual taxpayer's future financial resources. Funds to continue preliminary planning studies are re- quested this year. Total costs are now projected at 272 million dollars and the funding is likely to be from a combination of tax -supported borrowing and betterment charges to affected properties. There- fore, the Capital Budget Committee recommends in depth scrutiny of all current and future major capi- tal projects to determine timing and affordability vis- a-vis wastewater treatment. A policy should be es- tablished to ensure that "need and financial analy- sis" is conducted at multiple levels before the for- mation of any building committees, engineering studies, etc. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT AND FACILITY PLAN Attached is the Committee's summary of the Capital Improvement Plan for the next ten years as requested by the various Town departments includ- ing the School Department. We recommend that an overview of the Capital Improvement Plan and Facility Plan continue to be part of an opening pre- sentation at the Annual Town Meeting to allow vot- ers to make informed decisions. Two observations of note: 1. The Fire Department has purchased a Hy- brid vehicle in lieu of their customary SUV. This is a first for the town and we commend their decision. 2. The DPW Director's vehicle will now be a four wheel drive truck with plow which will be avail- able to the Highway Department for emergency use. This is also commendable and demonstrates "com- munity first" thinking. The Facility Plan listing all "big ticket" building and infrastructure projects appears on the follow- ing page. A complete copy of the Capital Improve- ment Plan is available at the Town Administrator's Office. Respectfully Submitted, Art DeBonville, Chair (resigned 11/2007) Ted Weissberger, Vice -Chair & FinCom Representative Brad Goodwin, Planning Board Representative Rob Granger Carol Wall Lu Matrascia Steve Davis (Footnotes) ' In order to be considered a Capital Project a request must have a useful life of a minimum of 5 years and require an investment of a minimum of $10,000. This standard was adopted by the CBC in 2001. 15 TOWN ADMINISTRATOR 2007 has started revitalization within the Town of Yarmouth with which we can all be proud. With the hard work of the Yarmouth Planning Board, and the Community Development Department on the creation and now implementation of the compre- hensive motel bylaw and the work by the Commu- nity Development Department, specifically, Karen Greene, Director, and Terry Sylvia, Planner, along with the Planning Board and individual members of the Board of Selectmen and the Yarmouth Cham- ber of Commerce, the Town was able to secure the Cape Cod Commission and the Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates approval for a Growth In- centive Zone for Route 28 in Yarmouth. This one action has already achieved positive results. A nine million dollar investment has been made in an older hotel property in West Yarmouth which will be trans- formed into a Hampton Inn Suites which is starting a positive trend towards improvement to this im- portant business area within our community. The Town also completed its acquisition of the former bridal shop in West Yarmouth and has had the building demolished to improve the visual qual- ity in our business district. We have had a private person volunteer funds to assist us in beautifying this area. The Town also has acquired the 1750's House which will be demolished and provide a waterview from Route 28 which will remind our visi- tors that they are in a seaside community. We feel these two actions greatly improved the Town and we all can be proud of this new positive look in our community. We can also thank Chief Randall Sherman for his hard work and the firefighters in Town for completing fire station #3. We are very close to occupying the building with some details to be resolved but in general West Yarmouth will have a first rate fire and ambulance response within the near future. On another project which has taken some time to make progress on, we have filed special legislation in order for the Town to put out to bid the construction and operation of the proposed marina on Parkers River. This has been a very lengthy process as the State must approve this different, but what I believe is a money saving option tor the Town to design the marina and then have a developer construct it and operate it for a period of up to 30 years. At the end of the process the Town will either take the marina over or con- 16 tinue its operation on a contract basis. When the marina project is completed, this central area on 28 will be upgraded with a wonderful facility that t will attract tourists and businesses to this area. We have also welcomed this past year, a new Walgreens Drug Store, a new CVS Drug Store, Grand Union has decided to sell their lease to Stop and Shop and in partner with t he owner of the plaza, there will be major improvements to this gateway area to our community off of Exit 8. This type of investment in our Town helps to promote jobs within our community and stabilizes our tax rate through additional business development. On more internal matters, the Finance Director is continuing to implement our new accounting sys- tem which is streamlining the processing of bills and the availability of financial information to managers within the town to better monitor your tax dollars. Improved basic financial management has been helpful not only in monitoring our expenses and in- come but also allowing Standard and Poors Bond Rating Service to give the Town of Yarmouth an A+ stable bond rating which shows that while the Town can take actions to improve its bond rating, we have a stable financial condition in these difficult times. With this financial data and other information, we continue to look for new ways to save money and consolidate town services. We are increasing job flexibility and looking at regionalization with town services as well as possibly school services to in- crease our ability to stretch limited tax dollars and continue to provide excellent service to the residents of Yarmouth. would like to welcome Ms. Angela Park as our new Town Treasurer. Ms. Park had worked for the Bank of Boston and for the City of Weymouth be- fore coming to Yarmouth as a certified State Trea- surer. Within her first year, Ms. Park has shown her expertise as she has put together a bond issue and two bond rating presentations. She has many new ideas which she is reviewing with the Finance Di- rector for ways to improve the financial condition of the Town. On a sadder note, my secretary for the past 28 years, Mrs. Judy Daigneault, is retiring as of Janu- ary 2008. Judy has been the fabric which has kept the office together and running smoothly for these many years. She has been a stable force within our office and within the town government who was al- ways able to provide her knowledge, expertise, and history in her position. Many of the taxpayers in the Town of_ Yarmouth' have met with or spoken with Judy when they called my office. In all of her years in our office I never heard one negative comment about the treatment a citizen or visitor received when they interacted with her. She has been an excep- tional employee and I and the rest of our staff will greatly miss her not being in the office with us. wish her and her family a long and healthy retire- ment. Also, at the end of 2007, Ms. Grace Parisi de- cided to retire from her position as part time secre- tarial assistant in the Town Administrators office. Grace has been with our office for eleven years and had worked in several other offices in Town Hall for about one year before coming to our office. Grace was the pleasant and smiling face you many times saw when entering the office. Grace was also our grammar and spelling authority. We will miss her in our office. In 2008, we will need to be very diligent in our management of our financial resources. The Town of Yarmouth does not have the concerns of some communities with the drop in the real estate mar- ket. We have been fortunate that foreclosures have been minimal and there is some strength in the real estate market in our community. However, the State of Massachusetts continues to reduce their sup- port for towns either through direct reimbursements 17 and/or grants. We are continuing to look to increase our capacity to provide services within the financial constraints placed upon us. We are always looking for ideas from citizens, boards, and committees to help us to look at new options to provide services to the community. We are also working to expand the Growth Incentive Zone to the South Shore Drive area to allow improvements to our resort motels. Our reinvestment in our infrastructure with constant improvements to our roadways, improvements to our beach areas, and the start of discussions for sewering of certain areas of the Town are all impor- tant economic and environmental steps we must take to keep our community strong. In closing I want to thank the Board of Select- men for their support this past year as we have moved on many issues. Also, thanking Peter Johnson -Staub, Assistant Town Administrator for his work in the Community Services Departments, Personnel, Grants and General Management and, finally again, I want to express my appreciation to Judy Daigneault, Pam Barnes, Linda Hill and Grace Parisi for the important work they have done in our office to keep things running smoothly and provid- ing excellent service to the Board of Selectmen and to the public.

We continue to be busy; in January the clerk's office is selling beach and disposal stickers along with providing dog licenses, golf passes and numerous other services. We have had a significant increase in the number of passports processed, a service we have been providing since 1998. The Clerk's office had a quite year concerning elections and town meetings. The Annual Town Meeting was held on April 10th, Annual Town Election, May 1st, the Old King's Highway Election on November 27th and Special Town Meeting, December 11th. The preparation and mailing of the Annual Census forms were once again done by an outside vendor, at a reasonable cost and a substantial savings of in house hours. The prompt return of the census is encouraged as the results of the census affect many of the Town's concerns. The Clerk's office has computerized many of its functions. This enables us to serve our customers more quickly and efficiently.

The Boards meetings are broadcast live on Channel 18, the Public Access Television Station, and re -broadcast periodically throughout the week, and now avail- able on the web at www.yarmouth.ma.us. The Zoning Administrators (ZA) are an arm of the Board of Appeals and are appointed by the Board of Appeals subject to confirmation by the Selectmen. The Zoning Administrators carry out the same functions as the Board of Appeals, operating under the same laws and procedures, but generally handle the less controversial or less complex cases. The Board's Zoning Administrators are currently Mr. John Richards and Mr. Joseph Sarnosky. During the year2007 the Board of Appeals heard a total of 85 applications. Of these, 69 were granted (in whole or in part) while 4 were denied, 7 were withdrawn and 5 arepending. A high percentage of the applications presented to the Board this year continue to involve requests for Special Permits for alterations and replacement of single-family homes. Among the otherprojects approved by the Board were the approval of the final phase of construction at Buck Island Village Condominiums, the upgrad- ing and improvements of the parking lot at the 89 Yarmouth Housing Authority on Long Pond Drive, 5 Family Related Apartments and 1 Affordable Ac- cessory Apartment. The Board successfully resolved an appeal to the Housing Appeals Committee from its decision denying a Comprehensive Permit for. an affordable housing development on property off of Summer Street, Yarmouthport, when the appli- cant decided to withdraw his appeal and dedicate the property to other permitted uses. The new Walgreens and CVS stores in South Yarmouth, and the new West Yarmouth Fire Station, all previously approved by the Board, were completed this year and are now open for business. The Board regretfully accepted the decision of Forrest White not to seek re -appointment for an ad- ditional term as an alternate member of the Board, and thanks him for his service to the Town and wishes him well. The Board also is pleased to wel- come a new alternate member, Renie Hamman. I wish to thank our Regular and Alternate mem- bers, and our Secretary Rhonda LaFrance, for their dedicated and conscientious service to the Town throughout the year David S.

In 2007, staff prepared and submitted an appli- cation for a Growth Incentive Zone to the Cape Cod Commission. Approved by the full Cape Cod Com- mission (July 2007) and by the Assembly of Del- egates (October 2007), the Growth Incentive Zone will facilitate the implementation of the Motel Bylaw adopted at the April 2006 Annual Town Meeting by revising applicable thresholds that would otherwise trigger a review by the Cape Cod Commission. To date, a number of properties have expressed inter- est in redeveloping using the Growth Incentive Zone and one project, a Hampton Inn, is underway. The Hampton Inn is, according to the Cape Cod Times, the first new hotel on Cape Cod in 20 years! Other initiatives underway include planning ef- forts for village center zoning in the South Yarmouth/ Bass River area as well as plans for the revitaliza- tion of South Shore Drive motels. Over the past year, the Department continued work on a variety of affordable housing issues in- cluding updating the Town's inventory, monitoring resale of affordable homes, working with parties in- terested in developing affordable housing in Town, and assisting Yarmouth residents acquire affordable housing. Staff also provided support to the Afford- able Housing Committee as well as the Affordable Housing Trust and the Yarmouth Housing Author- ity, working to secure and utilize grant funds to help further affordable housing planning and develop- ment efforts. Staff continued to administer the Town's Com- munity Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, distributing more than $140,000 in grants. CDBG funding benefits low- and moderate -income house- holds or persons. Grants were used to provide loans for septic rehabilitation, blight removal, public facil- ity accessibility, meals on wheels, and affordable housing. Staff also continued to support the Community Preservation Committee and to administer and monitor Community Preservation Funds, oversee- ing grants made in 2006 and in 2007. Staff continued to provide support to the Plan- ning Board, preparing for its business meetings, workshops, and public hearings. Applications were received and processed for Approval Not Required (ANR) plans, preliminary subdivision plans, and de- finitive subdivision plans. Staff also worked with the Planning Board in the preparation of zoning articles for the Annual and Special Town Meetings. As always, the work of the volunteers who con- tinue to devote their time and energies to the Town is much appreciated. We look forward to another productive year! 90 Respectfully submitted, Karen M. Greene, Director Terry Sylvia, Town Planner Mary Waygan, Administrative Assistant Jennifer Coutinho, CPA Assistant PLANNING BOARD The Planning Board has had another busy and productive year. The officers of the Board were Col- leen Kramer, Chairman; Brad Goodwin, Vice -Chair- man; and Bryant Palmer, Clerk. In 2007, the Planning Board held 21 business meetings, 10 workshops, 3 public hearings and 6 meetings with other boards and committees. The Board acted on 12 Approval Not Required (ANR) plans, 3 preliminary subdivision plans and 1 defini- tive subdivision plan. 61 new lots were created and 2 lots re -combined. 1 Public Hearing for a Special Permit Modification was held. The Planning Board presented 9 zoning articles at the Annual Town Meeting in April, 2007, and 6 zoning articles at Spe- cial Town Meeting in December 2007. Board members also attended various training sessions and met with other town boards and com- mittees, as well as neighborhood organizations, on items of mutual interest and concern. Planning Board members served on other town committees and worked for other community groups as well: Mr. Palmer served as the Planning Board's repre- sentative on the Affordable Housing Committee, served on the Yarmouth Housing Authority and acted as the Board's representative on the Energy Committee; Ms Kramer acted as the Board's repre- sentative to the Hyannis Park Association in deal- ing with hospital development issues; Mr. Goodwin served on the Capital Budget Committee, the Ma- rina Committee, the Integrated Waste Water Com- mittee 'and an ad hoc committee investigating is- sues 'effecting motels on South Shore Drive. Mr. Roche served as the Board's representative to the Community Preservation Committee (CPC), served as an alternate on the Board of Appeals and on ad hoc committees reviewing the village center con- cept and South Shore Drive motels. Mr. Sears also served as a regular member of the CPC, the Sign Code Update ad hoc and on the South Shore Drive motel ad hoc. Ms Post served as the Board's repre- sentative on the Community and Economic Devel- opment Committee (CEDC) and on an ad hoc com- mittee created to update the Zoning Bylaw's Use Code.

To this end, the Committee continues to work closely with the Planning Board, the Yarmouth Housing Authority, the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, the Community and Economic Development Committee as well as, various non -profits such as Habitat for Humanity, `Housing Assistance Corpo- ration, Our First Home, and the Council to End Homelessness. 91 The Affordable Housing Committee met in regu- lar session 21 times in 2007 and 11 times in sub- committee. The Affordable Housing Committee also met with the Board of Selectmen one time to dis- cuss the need for affordable housing in Yarmouth. In 2007, the Affordable Housing Committee used their meeting time to review potential 40B projects, meeting with project proponents each time, and to discuss housing needs in Yarmouth. Subcommit- tees concentrated their efforts on the development of affordable housing, community preservation projects and to revise the affordable accessory apartment program. The Accessory Apartment Sub- committee met with the Planning Board twice to develop amendments to the Town's Accessory Apartment Bylaw. These proposed amendments will be presented at Annual Town Meeting in April 2008. To date, the Board of Appeals has approved six af- fordable accessory dwellings. This past year, the Affordable Housing Commit- tee worked with the staff from the Department of Community Development on several projects, in- cluding the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, Brush Hill Road Housing Development, the Windrift Motel Conversion, and the Forest Road Senior Housing Development. Also this year, the Committee completed its work on the Town's Affordable Housing Action Plan which is designed to comply with DHCD's Planned Pro- duction Goals. The plan is designed to provide short term relief to the Town from 40B development if certain annual goals are met. The Committee pre- sented the Action Plan to the public in February 2007 at the First Annual Affordable Housing Summit. The Plan was approved by the Board of Selectmen in May 2007. April 2007 Town Meeting voted to create and capitalize the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The Affordable Housing Trust Fund has the ability to accept funding, and to buy and sell property. The Affordable Housing Trust Fund can hold funds for affordable housing and respond quickly to secure a piece of land or building for affordable housing de- velopment. Chairman Alan Aarons serves on the Affordable Housing. Trust as representative for the Affordable Housing Committee. This year the Committee presented two propos- als to the Community Preservation Committee for the creation of affordable housing, one to capitalize the Affordable Housing Trust Fund and the other to fund a Buy -Down Program. Ed Blackman is the Committee's representative to the Community Pres- ervation Committee. I would like to thank the members of this com- mittee for their hard work. I would also like to thank Mary Waygan for all her support and hard work pro- moting affordable housing in Yarmouth. Promoting affordable housing is a difficult task and the ob- stacles are so complex that it is inspiring to serve on a committee with an energetic and motivated group. We are always looking for a few new mem- bers! would also like to take this opportunity to wel- come the following new members Ed Blackman and David Kellogg, who has also graciously agreed to serve as the Town's HOME Consortium represen- tative, replacing Rebecca Nystrom who served in this capacity for most of 2007. The committee looks forward to another productive year and your involve- ment as we work to meet the housing needs of our community. Respectfully Submitted, Alan Aarons, Chairman Kieran Healy, Vice -Chairman Barbara Beeler, Clerk Ed Blackman Mary Ann Gray Deborah Bellows David Kellogg, Housing Authority Representative Bryant Palmer, Planning Board Representative Rebecca Nystrom Sharon Ladley, Alternate Gloria Smith, Alternate Staff Members: Karen M. Greene, Director of Community Development Mary Waygan, Administrative Assistant 92 COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE Established by the Board of Selectmen in Sep- tember 2005, the Community and Economic De- velopment Committee (CEDC) is charged with work- ing "to improve the quality and attractiveness of new and existing development so as to enhance, sus- tain and broaden the economic base of the com- munity, provide employment opportunities, and fos- ter a deeper sense of community among all resi- dents and businesses by encouraging the exchange of ideas on important community and quality of I ro issues". The CEDC is also charged with working to coordinate community and economic development plans and their implementation with various town boards as well as reviewing plans for consistency with the Local Comprehensive Plan (LCP). The CEDC met 14 times over the course of 2007 at regular meetings, as well as at a number of meet- ings with the Planning Board, and at a variety of public meetings. In addition, CEDC members partici- pated in a number of Ad Hoc and other committees. Working with the Planning Board and neighbor- hood representatives, CEDC members are partici- pating in an Ad Hoc committee to rework the SoDth Yarmouth Village Center bylaw, previously. deV.e1- oped by the Planning Board. The CEDC as a whole will continue to participate in outreach efforts asso- ciated with the Village Center concept. CEDC member Jack McCormack, continues to serve as the Committee's representative to the De- sign Review Committee, reviewing commercial projects located south of Route 6. The Design Stan- dards currently apply to motel redevelopment projects and to projects that apply for relief under the Revitalization and Overlay Architectural District (ROAD) bylaw. CEDC members participated in an Ad Hoc com- mittee to review the current use classification sys- tem utilized by the Town and to convert this classi- fication system, the Standard Industrial Classifica- tion, or "SIC" codes, to the more current North American Industrial. Classification System (NAICS). Changes were recently approved at the December 2007 Special Town Meeting. CEDC members are participating in an Ad Hoc committee to review the Town's current sign codes. This committee, comprised of representatives from the Planning Board and others, have begun their work and anticipate making recommendations in 2008. The CEDC looks forward to continued progress in 2008 and the many accomplishments that are within our reach. We encourage and invite any citi- zen or groups of citizens who are interested in com- munity.and economic development to attend our meetings. Respectfully submitted, P.Q. Smith, Chair Tracy Post, Vice Chair/ Planning Board Representative Paul Tardif, Clerk John Barker Robert DuBois Jack Hynes Jack McCormack Staff Members: Karen M. Greene, Director of Community Development COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE Under the Community Preservation Act (CPA), the Town funds eligible projects for Community Housing, Historic Resources, Open Space, and Recreation. CPA funds are raised through a local 3% property surcharge and a 100% State match on the property surcharge. Our Committee consists of nine voting mem- bers who have diverse backgrounds and qualities necessary to evaluate a wide -range of applications. Seven members represent existing committees and boards and the Board of Selectmen appoint two citizen -at -large seats. We make project recommendations to Town Meeting based on many factors, including the overall community benefit and the ability to meet Commit- tee goals as outlined in the Community Preserva- tion Plan. A public hearing was held on October 30 to seek input on CPA project ideas and to accept comments on the Plan. Nineteen regular business meetings were held and we spent a majority of our meeting time monitoring active projects, approving contracts, and reviewing new proposals. This past year, we recommended nine projects at Annual Town Meeting. Voters approved all projects and CPA grants were administered in July. The approved projects are: 93 Community Housing • $500,000 in CPA funds for the Housing As- sistance Corporation (HAC) to buy -down a minimum of nine single-family market rate homes and resell them at an affordable level. • $200,000 deposit into the Affordable Hous- ing Trust Fund to create, preserve, and sup- port affordable housing. • $230,000 to support the Yarmouth Housing Authority's Long Pond Plaza housing with 5 new high -efficiency condensing boilers, 5 domestic water heaters, pumps, and piping. Historic Resources • $600,000 to rehabilitate the historic Taylor - Bray Farmhouse for community events. • Taylor Bray Farm is listed on the National Reg- ister of Historic Places. • $528,000 for the restoration of the historic resource known as the "Cellar House" at Packet Landing. Open Space • $675,000 to acquire a 1.73 -acre parcel at 281 Route 28 to create an open scenic vista of Mill Creek. • $513,000 was set aside to acquire the last privately owned 2.76 -acre parcel at 14 South Sandyside Lane on Dennis Pond. This ac- quisition completed the preservation of the entire shoreline of the pond. The Town re- ceived $250,000 in a Self-help Grant from the Massachusetts Division of Conservation Ser- vices to offset the purchase price. • $20,000 to acquire a 0.38 -acre parcel on Pheasant Cove's Chase Garden Creek. Recreation • $100,000 to preserve playground equipment at Bass Hole, Bay View Beach, Englewood Beach, Parkers River, Reid Avenue, Sandy Pond, and Wings Grove park areas. Of the 17 active projects, 5 are complete and 12 are underway. We are pleased to announce that three of the above-mentioned open space parcels were successfully transferred to the Town, while two historic resources, the former Bass River Savings Bank on Old Main Street and the Gorham Cobbler Shop on Route 6A have been preserved for future generations. We would like to thank those involved with the Community Preservation Program and we look for- ward to another successful year. Respectfully submitted, Curtis Sears, Chair(At-Large) Tom Roche, Vice Chair (Planning Board) MaryAnn Walsh, Clerk (Housing Authority) Ed Blackman (Affordable Housing Committee John Biega(At-Large) James Carroll (Recreation Commission) Gary EIIis (Conservation Commission) Hugh Hilliard (Historic Commission) Jack Mulkeen (Open Space Committee) Staff: Jennifer Coutinho, CPA Assistant CONSERVATION COMMISSION The Yarmouth Conservation Commission was originally formed in 1961 and is presently made up of seven regular members and two staff. The Commission's "charge" involves regulatory review and issuance of permits pursuant to the Massachu- setts Wetland Protection Act, (M.G.L. Chapter 131, sec. 40.) and the Town of Yarmouth Wetland By - Law, (Chapter 143 of Yarmouth's General By -Law Code). In addition, the Commission manages ap- proximately 1800 acres of town -owned conserva- tion land in Yarmouth. Many acres contain hiking trails while many are set aside allowing natural eco- logical succession. The Commission conducted 87 public hearings during 2007. Notable projects reviewed by the Com- mission included a new drainage culvert under Shore Road in West Yarmouth. The project was designed for the Yarmouth DPW by CLE Engineer- ing, Inc. of Marion, Mass. Engineering services were funded by the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management's Wetland Restoration Program. The project's goals were to re -habilitate a degraded salt marsh area and reduce localized flooding during high moon tides. The Yarmouth Department of Pub- lic Works proposed and permitted a much needed bridge repair project in Yarmouth Port. The Keveney Lane or Mill Lane bridge was evaluated by profes- sional engineers and found to be insufficient for state safety standards. The proposed repairs are both structural and cosmetic. The local character of the bridge will be maintained to the delight of not only the area residents, but the town as a whole. The bridge area is one of Yarmouth's more scenic areas. Commission member Gary EIIis continues to serve on the Community Preservation Committee. 94 Gary has been working with the committee in the area of open space preservation and has advocated the concerns of the Conservation Commission throughout the year. In December of 2007, the Com- munity Preservation Committee in concert with the Yarmouth Conservation Trust was able to acquire the last remaining parcel on Dennis Pond in Yarmouth Port. This acquisition protects the entire shore of Dennis Pond from development. Dennis Pond is now the largest lake in the mid -cape area that will remain undeveloped in perpetuity. A Self - Help state grant of $250,000 from the Department of Conservation & Recreation will help fund the pur- chase. The Commission is looking forward to 2008. The proposed footbridge over Bass Creek in the Gallery - Darling Conservation Area is scheduled for con- struction in February 2008. The project eliminates a restrictive culvert and creates an open waterway that will significantly enhance approximately 100 acres of dying salt marsh. In addition, the 2007 An- nual Town Meeting passed the federally mandated local stormwater by-law. This enables the town to establish stormwater management regulations for larger development projects. As in past years, the Commission would like to thank the Engineering, Planning, Public Works and Natural Resources Departments for their support and assistance during the year They make our job that much easier and in tum the townspeople benefit. Respectfully submitted, David D. Flaherty, Jr., Chairman William Fenton, Vice -Chairman Edwin Hoopes, Secretary Gary EIIis Joan Carr Gerry Duffy Hugh March Staff: Sandi Clark, Office Secretary Bradford L. Hall, Conservation Administrator DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE The Design Review Committee, authorized at Annual Town Meeting in April of 2005, continued their design review duties in 2007. The committee meets prior to Site Plan Review hearings in order to prepare and submit relevant comments for all com- mercial projects reviewed through the Site Plan Review Process. Such projects are all located in commercial zoning districts located south of Route 6, as outlined in the Zoning Bylaw. The committee is assisted by Board Secretary, Col- leen McLaughlin. In 2007, the Committee held 21 meetings and reviewed 30 projects. In each case, the Committee designated a single member to attend Site Plan Review in order to present the group's comments, concerns, and suggestions. Initial fact and data gathering has also been accomplished by the Com- mittee in an effort to provide new guidelines and develop strategies in accordance with the goals of their charge. Projects of note during 2007 include the new Station Avenue CVS, the proposed redevelopment of the former Americana Holiday hotel by a national chain, the Silver Cloud, and the owner -occupied lodging house at the corner of Route 28 and Bliscott Avenue. We hopethatthe Committee's comments con- tributed to the success of these projects and that the new buildings enhance the Town's appearance. In 2008, the Committee looks forward to a busy and productive year in which we continue to pro- vide design guidance for commercial projects south of Route 6. The Committee hopes and anticipates that this guidance will be beneficial to the Town as well as the developer and that it will provide visual and functional improvements to Yarmouth's south - side commercial districts. Respectfully submitted, Dick Martin, Chairman Charles Adams Tom DiPersio Jack McCormack Sara Jane Porter Staff: Colleen McLaughlin, Secretary HISTORICAL COMMISSION The Yarmouth Historical Commission is estab- lished by Chapter 40, Section 8.D. of the Massa- chusetts General Laws for the purpose of preser- vation, protection, and development of the histori- cal and archaeological assets of the Town. It may 95 also recommend to the Massachusetts Historical Commission places to be certified as historical or archaeological landmarks. Members' terms are three years, and Associates are appointed annually to provide specific expertise. This past year saw a change within the Historic Commission. Priscilla Gregory, having ably served as Chair of the Commission for nine years and Rep- resentative to the Community Preservation Com- mittee (CPC) for two years, stepped down from both positions, but continues to serve as a Commissioner. We will continue to rely on her leadership and knowl- edge. Following Priscilla's resignation, Robert Cook was elected Chairman of the Commission, and Hugh Hilliard was designated as Representative to the CPC. We continue to collaborate with the Taylor/Bray Farm Preservation Association in furthering their goals as well as ours. The farm has become a popu- lar, community -supported property. The three fundraising events held there this year were all en- thusiastically and well attended by people from all over the Cape and off -Cape, too. The three events included the annual Sheep Festival, the Fall Festi- val, and a Holiday Sale tied into the annual Yarmouth Port Christmas Stroll. The Association has added a new herd of sheep, several new varieties of chick- ens, and two young goats in the past year Dr. Ruth Weissberger continues her successful efforts with the Taylor/Bray Farm educational programs in the local schools and at Riverview School in Sandwich. While funding for the rehabilitation of the farm- house at Taylor/Bray Farm was appropriated at the 2007 Annual Town Meeting, the Town has not been able to secure bids within budget. The Town is in the process of revising the scope of the work to move this project forward, rehabilitating the struc- ture so that it is preserved for future generations as well as making it a complimentary element to the farm. Once again the Judah Baker Windmill was open to the public for tours during the summer months and we are grateful to Commissioner Stewart and her seven faithful volunteers for their service. Being open three afternoons per week and every holiday weekend, visitors to the site this past year were pleased to see the beautifully renovated park with its new walkways, benches, grass, and flowers. We thank the Parks Department for this improvement for all to enjoy. Overall, the site welcomed 1,200 visitors between Memorial Day and Columbus Day. The Historic Commission continues to work to preserve and maintain the Town's historic structures and to promote the cultural and economic benefits of historic preservation. The Commission met 10 times during 2007. We are grateful for the help and professionalism extended to us by our former sec- retary, Maryclare Troiano, and new secretary, Col- leen McLaughlin.

Cutting, Jr., Member Priscilla Gregory, Member Hugh Hilliard, Member Gloria Smith, Member Nancy Stewart, Member Gina Lombardi, Associate Carol Smith, Associate Joseph Sullivan, Associate Dr. Ruth Weissberger, Assoctate OLD KING'S HIGHWAY The Old King's Regional Historic District is com- posed of the 6 towns' of Sandwich, Barnstable, Yarmouth, Dennis, Brewster, and Orleans. It is the largest historic district in America and covers some 37 miles continuously along 6A alone. The District's boundaries usually start at Route 6 and proceed northward to the Bay. Chapter 470 of the Acts of 1973, as amended, governs the Yarmouth Old King's Highway (OKH) Historic District Committee and the Old King's High- way Regional Historic District Commission (OKHRHDC). The boundaries of Yarmouth's OKH District are from the Mid -Cape Highway (Route 6) north to the bay and from the Barnstable to Dennis town lines. About 3,500 properties are within Yarmouth's OKH district. An annual effort has been made to inform owners that the following exterior changes to their structures or settings require an OKH Certificate of Appropriateness: new construc- tion, alterations, additions, demolitions, siding, sheds, decks, signs, walls, fences, and change of color except to white. Reminders to address this issue are posted on the local cable channel, the Building Department, information table, and OKH office. Property owners within the OKH historic dis- 96 trict also receive this annual reminder in their spring water bills. In 2007, the Committee held 23 public hearings at the Yarmouth Port Fire Station, and acted upon 187 Certificates of Appropriateness; 41 Certificates of Exemption; 17 minor changes; 29 color changes; 30 sheds; 8 signs; 22 new houses; 4 Certificates of Demolition; and accepted 112 "like for like" routine maintenance letters. In addition, the OKH Commit- tee held several informal hearings for applicants who requested them. There were also several violation citations issued which required additional work for Committee members, the OKH secretary, and Build- ing Commissioner, who is the Enforcement Officer for the Act. At the Commission level, the chairman attends monthly appeals hearings and regularly consults our OKHRHDC attorney, James Wilson, Esq., with any legal questions that arise. An annual informal meet- ing is held for all members of the six towns within the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District. The OKH Committee lost two valued members during 2007. Scott Fisher, OKH Vice Chairman and Architect/Contractor, resigned from the committee due to his relocation to Maine. During the summer of 2007, Maryclare Troiano, OKH Board Secretary, retired from her position. We wish both these knowl- edgable and dedicated people well in their future endeavors. They will both be missed! In November, 2007, Marilyn Swenson, an alter- nate member on the Board, was elected as a full member. As of January 1, 2008, she will be sworn in to assume her new position. Matthew Credit, currently a member serving out the unexpired term of Linda Barsch, has assumed the position of Ar- chitect/Contractor until the Board finds a perma- nent successor to Scott Fisher. Colleen McLaughlin was hired as Board Secretary in August, 2007. With all of these dedicated and experienced members, OKH is a very knowledgeable committee. Respectfully submitted, Deborah Gray, Chairman Matthew Credit, Architect/Contractor Richard Gegenwarth Michael Sifford Marilyn Swenson CAPE COD COMMISSION The Cape Cod Commission is the regional land use planning and regulatory agency created in 1990 to serve the citizens and the 15 towns of Barnstable County. Its mission is to manage growth, to protect Cape Cod's unique environment and character, and to foster a healthy community for present and fu- ture generations. The Cape Cod Commission provides regional services and coordinates many projects and activi- ties that affect all of Barnstable County. The Com- mission also provides technical assistance to each Cape town. Activities involve promotion of afford- able housing and economic development; protec- tion of coastal, water, and natural resources; prepa- ration of maps and analysis of geographic data; preservation of historic resources; preparation of transportation plans and analysis of traffic conges- tion and safety issues; and more. The Cape Cod Commission is charged with re- viewing and regulating Developments of Regional Impact, recommending designation of Districts of Critical Planning Concern, and preparing and over- seeing the implementation of the Regional Policy Plan, the set of planning policies and objectives that guide development on Cape Cod. Regional Activities in FY2007 21st Century Task Force Throughout the year, the Cape Cod Commission's regulations and operations were the subject of a comprehensive external review by the 21st Century Task Force on the Cape Cod Com- mission. A 19 -member committee appointed in late spring 2006 by the Barnstable County Commission- ers, the Task Force evaluated the agency's opera- tions and made recommendations to improve its effectiveness and relationships with towns. The Task Force met for six months and conducted a thor- ough review of the Commission's planning, regula- tory, technical assistance, and management com- munications functions. In December 2006, the Task Force delivered its report with more than 35 recommendations for im- provements. The County Commissioners identified their priorities among those recommendations in late April 2007, focusing on better communications with Cape Cod municipal officials, more emphasis on the creation of livable wage jobs when analyzing development proposals, and working with towns to revise regional development review thresholds. As it pursues implementation of Barnstable County's priorities, the Cape Cod Commission will draft proposed changes to its Enabling Regulations and will revise the Regional Policy Plan. The Com- mission will make :progress reports to the County Commissioners and Assembly of Delegates and meet with towns, chambers of commerce, and other interested groups:. 97 Planning, Technical Assistance, Training, and Regulatory Activities In Fiscal Year 2007, the Cape Cod Commission continued to pursue regional planning, technical as- sistance, and regulatory activities to help commu- nities to manage growth across the region. In addi- tion, the Commission sponsored and cosponsored training workshops for municipal officials and staff. Several highlights of those activities include the fol- lowing: • The Cape Cod Commission continued to pro- vide staff support to the Cape Cod Metro- politan Planning Organization (MPO), which allocates federal funds for transportation. The staff also worked with the Cape Cod Joint Transportation Committee, discussing local, regional, state, and federal transportation planning programs. Part of the Commission's work includes maintaining the Regional Trans- portation Plan and the annual Transportation Improvement Program, which are the primary means by which federal and state funds are allocated to the Cape's transportation projects. This year, the MPO endorsed a four- year update of the Regional Transportation Plan and the annual update of the Transpor- tation Improvement Program. As a result of these efforts, approximately $61 million of local and regional transporta- tion projects were eligible for funding for Fed- eral Fiscal Years 2007 through 2010. • The Cape Cod Commission continued its water resources protection work, contribut- ing to wastewater management, water qual- ity, and water supply initiatives. The staff coordinated the technical advi- sory committee to the Cape Cod Water Pro- tection Collaborative and continued to par- ticipate as a technical partner in the Massa- chusetts Estuaries Project (MEP), making wa- tershed -based nitrogen -loading assessments of land use affecting Cape Cod embayments. The staff also continued to promote pond and lake water -quality stewardship. Among other studies and data analyses, the Com- mission coordinated the sixth annual water quality "snapshot" involving citizen volunteers who took 400 samples from 136 ponds and lakes this year. The School of Marine Science and Technology at the University of Massa- chusetts -Dartmouth, an MEP partner, ana- lyzed the water samples in their laboratories without charge; the analysis has an estimated value of $100 per sample. • The Cape Cod Commission continued its solid waste management planning work this year by encouraging and organizing Cape municipalities to make an evaluation of long- term solid waste disposal options. One goal of the evaluation is to prepare for the pos- sible renegotiation of municipal contracts with the SEMASS waste -to -energy facility in Rochester, Massachusetts, before current contracts expire (generally 2015). Another is to explore feasible alternatives to SEMASS. The staff sent a proposed work outline to all Cape boards of selectmen and town man- agers. Each town then nominated a repre- sentative to a contract committee that was formally appointed by the Barnstable County Commissioners in early summer 2007. By the end of the fiscal year, the staff had begun re- searching and compiling a comprehensive "Phase I" report that begins analyzing waste disposal options. The report will be shared and discussed with the contract committee and Cape municipalities beginning in fall 2007. The Cape Cod Commission continued its af- fordable housing work this year. The staff co - 98 ordinated the HOME Consortium, which has brought more than $9.4 million in federal funds to the region since 1994, resulting in more than 600 affordable housing units across the Cape. The staff also continued to manage the Soft Second Loan Program, which makes special mortgage loans that subsidize interest costs for eligible home buy- ers. Nearly 500 first-time home buyers have benefited from these loans since 1992. The Commission also continued to offer a Tech- nical Assistance Program for affordable hous- ing, which since 1995 has provided more than $200,000 to local housing authorities, hous- ing nonprofit organizations, and municipali- ties to support capacity building, resource de- velopment, and short-term strategic planning. The staff also monitored Chapter 40B devel- opments Capewide and provided technical comments to local boards reviewing 40B pro- posals in their communities. • The Cape Cod Commission sponsored and cosponsored a variety of training sessions and workshops for municipal officials and staff this year, including five workshops on affordable housing issues, four roundtable sessions and a workshop to support town committees implementing the Community Preservation Act, three meetings of a user group to support Geographic Information System work in towns, a workshop on coastal hazards and floodplain management, a field trip to a stormwater management research facility, and a conference on wastewater man- agement. • The Cape Cod Commission considered more than 40 Development of Regional Impact (DRI) proposals this year, including industrial parks, transportation facilities, commercial and residential subdivisions, retail develop- ments, telecommunications towers, historic residences, municipal facilities, utility services, new or expanded mixed-use developments, and redevelopment projects. The Commis- sion finalized 11 DRI decisions during Fiscal Year 2007. Services and Activities in the Town of Yarmouth, FY2007 Affordable Housing • Through the Barnstable County HOME Con- sortium, provided four down payment, two homeownership rehabilitation/repair, and six Soft Second Program loans to Yarmouth households. Geographic Information System • Provided the town with an update of Pictometry software. • Provided mapping assistance for the pro- posed Yarmouth Growth Incentive Zone. Regulatory • Worked closely with Yarmouth's planning and community development staff for the Commission's review of the town's applica- tion for a Growth Incentive Zone (GIZ) along Route 28. When approved, changes in De- velopment of Regional Impact thresholds for hoteVmotel properties within the Growth In- centive Zone will allow the properties to be renovated or converted to residential units or mixed-use developments with less regulatory involvement by the Commission. • Held several meetings and a public hearing and then provided a comment letter to the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) office on the Final Environmental Im- pact Report (FEIR) for the Cape Wind project, which MEPA certified in March. The project is currently undergoing DRI review. • Approved a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) Hardship Exemption application for the Supply New. England/Kitchen & Bath Gallery project, and approved the change -of -use application, for the CVS Redevelopment project on Station Avenue. Continued to re- view the DRI proposal for the Parker's River Marine Park project. 99 Transportation • Performed roadway and intersection traffic counts at 41 locations in summer 2006. The Commission and its predecessor agency have performed a total of 355 counts at 119 unique locations in Yarmouth since 1984. • Provided $83,080 in Development of Regional Impact (DRI) mitigation funds for a feasibility assessment for a proposed extension of the Cape Cod Rail Trail. • Provided $4,500 in DRI mitigation funds for a condition/safety assessment of the Baxter Mill Dam, which is adjacent to Route 28. • Provided $3,700 in DRI mitigation funds for an evaluation of the Station Avenue/Forsythe Avenue intersection. • Committed $59,800 in DRI mitigations funds, providing $11,700 of those funds in Fiscal Year 2007, for the Route 28 design/village concept planning. • Provided $30,000 in DRI mitigation funds to- ward the design of the Route 28/Forest Road intersection.

Small schools. COMMUNITY SERVICES YARMOUTH TOWN LIBRARIES The advent of modern information technology prompts the question what is the library, is it now some- thing being built in cyberspace where there are no walls, oris it still the building space of so many square feet bounded by bricks and mortar? The answer is that the modern "library" is now both, the accumula- tion of human knowledge and experience made in- creasingly available through a few key strokes from just about anywhere, and the literal place where that knowledge and experience is given human dimension in the form of a book in hand, an exhibition for view by the eye, or a lecture or presentation for the ear, all of which nourish the mind. The modem library is place, whether conceptual or actual, and people, including the professional librarians trained in how to navigate and retrieve information, and the patrons one meets at the library in exchange of ideas. — Hams Contos, Chair, Town Library Board Circulation and attendance are rebounding at the Yarmouth Town Libraries, after closure for repairs in FY 2006. Although the fiscal year table below shows that we have not yet returned to FY 04 levels, figures for July -December 2007 show that circulation and attendance are already up from FY 2007. Book" event in April 2007. They chose Return of the Osprey by David Gessner. Mr. Gessner spoke at the Red Jacket on April 13. The Red Jacket graciously donated the space for this very special occasion. Other events included book discussions at all three librar- ies, local book discussion groups, four "Nature Walks and Talks" (including two conducted by the Natural Resources), additional lectures by local bird experts, and other opportunities to engage citizens of all ages to read and learn together. Many thanks to the com- mittee who worked on this project: Carol Devir (Chair), Carol Coverly, Linda Simon, Martha Powers, Dottie Halmstad, and Carol Forest. Thanks to a great team Lynn Lesperance (Chair), Patricia Cassisi, Anne Cifelli, Martha Powers, Kathleen Tshonas, and Toby Wilson, our first annual Staff Day was held on November 15. The committee chose Pat Sordill of Sordill Associates to conduct an all day workshop on team building and teamwork. As a re- sult we all feel energized and ready to continue work- ing together to provide the best public service pos- sible. The Library was the recipient of two major grants under the Library Services Technology Act (LSTA) to- taling $15,000. A $5,000 grant will be used to develop services for "Recent Retirees" and a $10,000 grant to develop customer service training and marketing. We initiated a series of READ posters featuring local "celebrities" including Jim Saben, Bob DuBois, Nancy Stewart, and Peter Carnes. We added a wide selection of fiction and non-fiction books on Playaways. Playaways are the first self -playing digital audio book that's ready to go wherever you go. They are about the size of a deck of cards and can be used with earphones or plugged into a home or car stereo. We complemented our Ancestry database with the addition of the Obituary database this year. The Obituary database offers over 10 million obituaries and death notices collected from top national newspapers dating back over 150 years.

In order to staff the Sunday hours, it was necessary to modify hours at all three libraries. In November 2007, the Town Library Board recom- mended that Sunday hours be permanently estab- lished at the South Yarmouth Library. As part of National Library Month, the Yarmouth Town Libraries conducted a "Yarmouth Reads One 100 In the fall of 2007, the Children's Department hosted a new program called "Groovin' at your library" on Mondays at the South Yarmouth Library. This pro- gram was offered for 10 sessions, to families with children from birth -5 years old. This outstanding mu- sic program promoted literacy, language development and music in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. We had such a huge response that we decided to host a sec- ond session from January -March 2008. Our newly formatted, four-page color newsletter made its debut. Programs We had a number of successful and well -attended programs for people of all ages. For the third summer in a row, over 175 children participated in our com- munity service based summer reading program. The most rewarding component of this year's program was the support children offered to Visions, a teen parent home. Readers earned approximately $900 to donate to Visions. As a result of this exceptional program Jayne Southworth, Children's Librarian, has been asked to be part of a statewide panel sharing her ex- periences with others. Our ever -popular Polar Express attracted over 225 people for dazzling evening on December 5. Nearly 3,500 people attended new adult program- ming that included a very successful Saturday and evening ongoing health series, and appealing Sun- day programs featuring an actors group, opera high- lights, and a World War II remembrance. West Yarmouth continued its very popular BookTeasers program. Under the guidance of Martha Powers, members discuss their favorite books while they sip tea prepared by volunteer Peg Whitney. We joined with the Living Arts Institute and the Yarmouth Senior Center to present a series of pro- grams focused on the book Two Old Women and joined in discussions surrounding ageism in our soci- ety. Trish Cassisi provided a demonstration of the library's online resources for the Yarmouth Rotary Club. Staff Yarmouth Town Libraries bade a fond farewell to Nancy Stewart, former South Yarmouth Library Direc- tor and most recently library technician, at a well -at- tended dinner held last May. We welcomed three new employees: Terri Kennedy, Technical Services Librar- ian; Melissa Pendleton, Library Technician; and Judith Renihan, Library Technician. 101 The staff continued to take advantage of local and regional training opportunities in areas such as su- pervisory skills, managing multiple priorities, State- wide Newspaper databases and attended workshops on new advances in technology, summer reading, lit- eracy, managing the reference collection, and mak- ing changes on the cheap, just to name a few. Jayne Southworth, Children's Librarian, has be- gun work on her MLS and hopes to complete it in 2008. Volunteers Thanks to our 67 dedicated library volunteers who worked a total of 5,584 hours this year. Without them many programs and services would not be possible. The three library associations and friends contin- ued their commitment to support and enhance library services. They conducted a number of very success- ful fundraising activities to help enrich library materi- als and programs. These activities included book and yard sales, raffles, spaghetti suppers, and the second annual cookie stroll. Their support of the YTL and its staff is greatly appreciated. George Burr stepped down as Chair of the Town Library Board. He and his wife, also a member of the Board, will be greatly missed. The Board welcomed Harris Contos as the new Chair along with new mem- bers Sally Guadagno and John Rice. Peg Whitney, long time Chair of the West Yarmouth Library Association, also stepped down this year. Her dedication to excellent library service was always a priority and there was never a task too big or small that she did not give her very best. Fortunately, Peg will be staying on as a volunteer at the West Yarmouth library. Sven Siemen, our generous benefactor, made possible the Annual Art lecture, the Cecelia Siemen Scholarship awarded to Corey D. Oberlander, and new additions to our collection of art books. The South Yarmouth Trustees again offered their well attended series hosted by the Program/Hospitality Committee chaired by Marge Fallows. The Great Books group, led by Pat Polillo, entered its tenth successful year, and the South Yarmouth Book group, led by Carol Coverly, continued its topic based discussions. Many thanks to the citizens of Yarmouth for their continued support. Respectfully submitted, Jacqueline Adams Director of Libraries NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION Law Enforcement/ Management Calls for assistance to the Division of Natural Resources in 2007 remained high; consistent with recent years, however reflecting a few new trends. Similar to last year, calls concerning coyotes and foxes were the highest among all the calls pertain- ing to wildlife related issues. The division's bird calls were high again during the summer months, col- lecting birds that were suitable for testing for West Nile Virus, however no birds submitted from Yarmouth tested positive this year. These bird speci- mens provide data to assist the Town of Yarmouth Health Department and the Massachusetts Depart- ment of Public Health in determining the level of human risk in a particular area. Although the Avian Influenza (Al) H5N1 virus has still not been detected in the United States, division staff continue to at- tend training/professional meetings tracking any development in surveillance or research pertaining to this disease. In addition the wild turkey popula- tion has increased here in Yarmouth resulting in human -bird conflicts that ranged from creating a nuisance to impeding traffic. Rabies Investigation/Surveillance/Baiting We saw a dramatic drop in animals that tested positive for rabies between 2005 and 2006. In 2007 we had no animals from Yarmouth tested positive for rabies. After the rabies epidemic in 2004 and 2005 the raccoon and skunk populations were sub- stantially lower, the estimates show that about 80% of raccoons and skunks succumbed to rabies or other wildlife diseases during this period. Low num- bers within these populations last year contributed to the drop in positive cases. This year we have seen those populations recover a bit, but still have had no positive cases. Our hope is that the oral ra- bies vaccine baiting program will keep healthy ani- mals protected against the virus, in turn keeping the public safe. In conjunction with the oral rabies vaccine baiting program and the continued diligence of division staff it is our intention to minimize the publics risk until rabies is eradicated from Cape Cod. The division continues to work closely with the Yarmouth Health Department in investigating and following up on cases where people or domestic animals have been exposed to wildlife. The division has continued to collect data for the United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services' Rabies Surveillance Program on Cape Cod. Specimens were submitted from species that are at high risk of carrying rabies. The animals that were submitted were either found dead but appeared to be viable for testing, or were sick animals that showed symp- toms of rabies, distemper or other wildlife diseases and would have been euthanized anyway. The divi- sion is also active in several other studies with the United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services' that will provide important information that will improve the oral rabies vaccine bait distribution and uptake. Wildlife Response/Education The division still responded to hundreds of calls concerning wildlife in 2007. Calls ranged from re- ports of sick or injured wildlife which the division responds to and tries to capture said animal(s), to inquiries about nuisance wildlife and general infor- mation where the division's role is to educate the public with information about how to coexist with the abundant wildlife found in Yarmouth. The divi- sion continues to urge the public not to feed wild- life. If the wildlife do not associate people or their yards with a food source it will lead to a much bet- ter coexistence. The wild turkey population on Cape Cod continues to flourish and this year we received a lot of calls about wild turkeys in residential areas. Once again, intentionally feeding the turkeys (or unintentionally by not cleaning up fallen seed from hanging birdfeeders) will encourage them and other wildlife to stay in your yard. This year we responded to a lot of coyote sightings where residents were concerned about their presence. In most of these cases if the coyote was still there when we arrived, officers observed normal behavior from the animal. People who encounter coyotes or foxes in their yards should use mild harassment techniques to discourage them from being there. Such techniques may include things like making loud noises, squirt- ing a hose at them, or throwing a tennis ball at them. If the animals do not respond to this type of harass- ment, call our office so an officer can come and assess the animal. Below are the numbers for our wildlife related 102 calls for assistance where a response was required and Natural Resource Officers took action this year: Coyote 98 Fox 74 Raccoon 52 Skunk 53 Bird 59 Opossum 21 Deer 19 Seal 18 Dolphin 3 Bat 18 Turtle 19 Snake 9 Rabbit 11 Squirrel 15 Turkey 28 Wildlife Habitat Management The Natural Resource Division worked with the Yarmouth Open Space Committee and the Massa- chusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife on es- tablishing a new osprey nesting pole alongside of Chase Garden Creek in Yarmouth Port. The pole can be viewed from the end of the trail to the Salt Marsh Island property that the Open Space Com- mittee acquired. The ideal spot for the pole was actually on a section of property that had been pur- chased by the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife to protect shore bird habitat, so permission was sought from and granted by them to erect the pole on their property. The Open Space Committee purchased the materials and the pole was erected by the Natu- ral Resource Division. The Natural Resource Divi- sion has plans to erect another osprey nesting plat- form north of the Highbank Bridge in Bass River in Tate winter of 2008 (weather and resources permit- ting). The division continued to patrol and maintain the Long Pond herring run. 2008 will be the last year of the three (3) year statewide moratorium that was imposed by the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries. The number of fish spotted in the run was still very low this year. This falls drought water level impeded juvenile herring from easily accessing the sea. The Natural Resource Division will hopefully receive funding from a grant to make some modifi- cations to the run which will improve access and enforcement capabilities in hopes of making it a more viable run once again. Additional grant money continues to be sought for the revitalization of other historic herring runs throughout the town. Land Management The division began construction of a 180 foot elevated walkway in the Callery Darling Conserva- tion Area in Yarmouth Port, this fall. This walkway will protect a sensitive salt marsh area by providing a bridge over it and allowing access to the 2.4 mile trail system. Materials for the project were purchased through funding from the Barnstable County Land Management Grant. At the time that this report is being prepared the project is nearly complete with just some finishing touches left. Many of the users of this area have expressed their excitement about the project to us. The division continued maintenance on all of the trail systems throughout town as resources per- mitted. Special thanks go out to Americorps who helped us in many of our areas as well as the trail monitor volunteers from the Senior Environment Corp. Law Enforcement Patrols The division continues to conduct patrols, checking sportsmen engaged in hunting for small game, deer, and waterfowl. These checks consist of the inspection of hunting or sporting licenses, stamps, bag limits, and tags. Officers also ensure that the hunters that they are checking possess a legal firearm and proper ammunition for the season and area that they are hunting in, as well as ensur- ing that the individual holds the proper firearm li- cense icense for said firearm. We continue to see more activity during muzzleloader season for deer due to the increase in popularity of that type of hunting. This year we have also seen more people hunting coyote than ever, probably due to some less re- strictive regulation changes made by the Massa- chusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife. The divi- sion conducted multiple investigations of vandal- ism and illegal dumping in our conservation areas. We take the appearance of our areas very seriously, and this year we have began to use surveillance technology in our areas to curtail this activity as well as other criminal activity. We have worked closely with the Yarmouth Police Department on several cases using this technology. The division received a high volume of calls/complaints concerning ille- gal dirt bike activity in our areas. Officers issued 103 multiple citations in 2007 and continue to do pa- trols in areas where this activity is likely to occur in an effort to curtail illegal use of dirt bikes and all terrain vehicles (ATVS). Shellfish Many areas in the town continue to be classi- fied as seasonally approved for the harvest of shell- fish by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Divi- sion of Marine Fisheries (D.M.F.). Water quality moni- toring continues to be a top priority of the Shellfish Section and D.M.F. We are slowly seeing improvements to our ma- rine water quality and we are grateful to all those involved with this process. In cooperation with the Department of Public Works, point discharge sites continue to be prioritized and engineered to reduce the amount of discharge being drained directly into our embayment's and estuaries. Most of Yarmouth's shellfish beds are at least seasonally approved for the harvest of shellfish, with the exception of the north side, Hallets Mill Pond, Lone Tree Creek and Bass Creek in Yarmouth Port. In 2007, the division has continued with the Estuary Water Quality Monitoring Program, which was expanded to include Bass River in its entirety. Grant monies acquired by the Division of Natural Resources allowed for this expansion to take place. The majority of the water quality testing was asso- ciated with the Massachusetts Department of En- vironmental Protection Estuaries Program. This is the 6th year for testing in Lewis Bay, Mill Creek and Parker's River, and the 5th year for Bass River. This program is expected to continue indefinitely and will result in recommendations as how to reduce nitro- gen levels in our estuaries. Special thanks goes out to all staff that participated. The data collected will be used in a larger study sponsored by the Massa- chusetts Department of Environmental Protection for all waterways in the commonwealth. This study will provide the town with recommendations as to the overall conditions of our waterways as it relates to nitrogen levels as well as provide recommenda- tions as to what levels should be and how the lev- els may be improved. The division was also involved with the P.A.L.S. Program (Pond and Lake Sampling) for the seventh year, where we sample 6 fresh wa- ter ponds throughout Yarmouth from data which gets compiled with all the information from other towns on the cape. The information goes to the County Commission Office where their Water Quality Biologists put together all the information which produces a snapshot look at the status of most of the fresh water ponds on the Cape. Recreational (Family) Shellfishing was open in Mill Creek, Bass River, Wilbur Park, Lewis Bay from Springer Road to Crowell Road, Pine Island Cove and Lewis Bay from New Hampshire Street to Co- lonial Acres. Commercial quahogs were open in Bass River, Lewis Bay to include Uncle Robert's Cove, and Smith's Point. Commercial harvest of soft-shell clams was open in Follins Pond, Bass River, Swan Pond and Parker's River. Due to the relatively dry summer, Bass River North, (Rte. 6 to Follins Pond) was open for the harvest of quahogs for a total of 104 fishing days from May 15th through November 30th under the conditionally approved status based on rainfall. The average number of commercial shellfishing days over the last five years is 83 days. Bass River, Lewis Bay and Nantucket Sound opened November 5, 2007 and will remain open to March 31, 2008 for the harvest of Bay Scal- lops. In its seventh season working with the County seed shellfish program the Division of Natural Re- sources received 1.5 million 1 mm seed quahogs in June of 2007. With a hot and dry summer weather pattern, the production at the aquaculture farm was slightly down from last year's production. This re- sulted in an abundance of field plant sized seed Quahogs slightly smaller than average in October when it was broadcasted into our recreational shellfishing areas. The algae produced in Parker's River was abundant and there were no mechanical problems at the facility, which made it a good grow- ing season. We did see an increase in the amount of sea lettuce produced in the Parkers River sys- tem that played havoc with the intakes at the upweller facility. In the fall of 2007, 880,000 14mm/18mm and approximately 510,00010mm/14mm seed quahogs grown at the town's upweller facility were broad- cast into our recreational shellfishing areas. 100,000 field plant Quahogs purchased from Aquaculture Research Corp. will be planted into Uncle Roberts Cove and Smiths Point for the Commercial Fishery in the spring. In 2007, the Division of Natural Re- source Shellfish Section conducted its annual con- taminated quahog relay. Atotal of 1,350- 80Ib. bags 104 (108,000 lbs.) of quahogs ranging from seed to a four- inch maximum size were planted by the divi- sion staff. All contaminated shellfish were planted in Lewis Bay. This area is scheduled to be opened in the summer of 2008. The fall -of 2007 was a slow Scallop season for both Recreational and Commercial Fishermen with a harvest of approximately 100 bushels between them to date. This is our second attempt to winter over 15,000 seed scallops in Lewis Bay in a sub- merged pen. The 625 square foot pen was provided by the folks at Cape Cod Cooperative Extension and the Southeastern Massachusetts Aquaculture Center, many thanks to all the parties involved. 2007 Shellfish Statistics PERMITS Recreational 1100 @ $ 15/each $16,500.00 Non -Resident 16 @ $ 75/each $ 1,200.00 Commercial 23 @ $300/each $ 6,900.00 Commercial Eel 5 @ $ 25/each $ 125.00 TOTAL PERMIT SALES: $24,725.00 Privately Leased Shellfish Areas Great Island Oyster Co.

Several individuals donated to our spay neuter/medical fund, to include a very generous donation of $1000.00. These monies are used primarily to treat injured and stray animals. If you are aware of a dog or cat that is in need of care,} please don't hesitate to call us. This year, for the first time, dog owners were asked when purchasing licenses, if they would like to make a donation to this same fund. This is a great way for Yarmouth residents to help homeless dogs and cats. One hundred percent of all donations are used for the care and medical treatment of animals in need. Dog license compliance continues to be high. For those residents whose work schedules make it difficult to get to Town Hall during business hours, please note that dogs may be licensed through the mail. Please call the Clerk's office for more informa- tion. Our dog licenses are the most thoughtfully de- signed dog tags in the country. The tags themselves are made of solid brass, which is legible years after issue, unlike stainless steel tags used elsewhere that become scratched and illegible very quickly. Each dog owner is asked at the time of licensing who we should call in case of an emergency. Each tag has the animal control phone number on it so that we can be called if the animal is ever lost or injured. This proved to be incredibly helpful several years ago, when our office received a call from the Amsterdam Airport investigating a dog that had become separated from his paperwork. We were able to provide the critical information, thus reunit- ing the dog with his owner. Please don't hesitate to pick up the phone if you see an animal you think is in need. Your phone call can change that animal's life forever and give them the second chance they deserve. Yarmouth resident's made some life changing calls to us this past year to report animals that were lost, injured or neglected by their owners. These animals are now living happily and comfortably in their new homes. Your call can make a difference! Animal Control and Protection investigated sev- eral incidences of animal neglect and animal cru- elty this past year. All of our cases had positive out- comes. Two of these court cases resulted in jail time for the animal abuser. One of these acts of cruelty concerned a dog and the other involved a seven week old kitten. Several other cases were settled with fines and probation. All of the animals taken into our custody have now settled into new homes. One of the most rewarding aspects of our job as Animal Control Officers is finding a new home for an animal that was previously abused, after suc- cessful litigation. 105 The Animal Control Staff takes pride in its work helping to improve the quality of life for both people and their pets and celebrates each and every happy ending. Please contact our office if you are considering bringing a new pet into your household. We just might have that special friend. Approximately 1,000 cats that are involved in a bite or a scratch incident while roaming freely are euthanized in Massachusetts each year in order to be tested for rabies. Had these cats been wearing identification, most of their lives could have been saved by simply reuniting them with their owners and observing a 10 day quarantine in their home. Please help to protect both your dog and your cat by insuring that they are wearing proper identifica- tion, to include a current rabies tag. Yarmouth Animal Control encourages cat own- ers to keep their cats safely indoors where they will be protected from vehicles, predators and becom- ing lost. Keeping your pet indoors also prevents them from coming in contact with a rabid animal. Although the Mid Atlantic strain of rabies is pri- marily a disease that effects wildlife, (especially skunks and raccoons), all mammals, including hu- mans can become infected. Statistics provided by the Bureau of Animal Health state that only 35% of owned cats are vaccinated against rabies, whereas 80% of dog owners vaccinate their canine friends. There is no treatment for animals once they become infected with rabies. If cost is an issue, please con- tact our office so that we may help you find an af- fordable rabies vaccine. Cats can be particularly susceptible to rabies if owners let them outdoors unsupervised, as this allows them to interact with wildlife. Humans can be treated, but your pet can- not. This is why it is so important to vaccinate your pets. Our annual rabies clinic, held the first Saturday of April each year, was attended by 83 cats and 97 dogs. Don't forget this is a very economical way to keep your pet properly vaccinated against rabies. A rabies vaccination is the only vaccine that is re- quired by law for both your dog and your cat. Keep in mind that the law requires ferrets to be vacci- nated for rabies as well. This year we celebrated the Blessing of the Ani- mals 20th Anniversary. This year's Blessing was dedi- cated to our animal friends and to the people who love them. Once again, we thank our sponsors, Ann & Fran's Kitchen and Kaleidoscope Imprints. We appreciate their kindness and generosity. We would like to welcome back Trish Cunningham who took several years off from her job as part time animal control officer, to raise her family. We are happy to have her back working with us again. The Animal Control Section again organized the holiday food drive at Town Hall. Food collected was given to local food pantries. According to the 2005 federal census, 7.3% of the Cape's population lives below the federal poverty level, so each donation is greatly appreciated. We thank all who participated. The Yarmouth Animal Control Section is a mem- ber of the Town , of Yarmouth Code Enforcement Impact Team. The Impact Team is made up of town inspectors, police, and animal control officers who work within the community to enforce town by-laws. A tremendous amount of time and energy goes in to making Yarmouth a safe place for both you and your pet. Please don't hesitate to call us if you have a complaint or a concern. We sincerely hope that 2008 is a safe year for both you and your pet.

Both Lewis Bay and Bass River were highly congested due to the continual growth of local sail- ing programs and the popularity of the sport. Kayaking and canoeing continue to grow in popu- larity and is the fastest growing sector in boating. Incidents of negligent operation involving per- sonal watercraft remained consistent with 2006 however overall we witnessed a decrease. This is in part due to the Harbor Patrol Officers' continued efforts in enforcement of both local and state laws, and the promotion of safe boating through educa- tion. The Yarmouth patrol boats responded to a sig- nificant number of calls for general assistance in addition to approximately 15 calls requiring emer- gency service and rescue response this season. The Harbormaster section continued to perform random safety inspections, on the water and at the boat ramps. This provides an opportunity for the Harbor Patrol Officers and the boating public to in- teract. During the safety inspection an overall safety equipment check is conducted. This interaction also allows an opportunity for the boaters who are en- joying the Yarmouth waterways to ask questions and obtain additional local knowledge of the area. In Massachusetts, any child under the age of 12, must wear a personal floatation device while onboard any vessel that is underway. Efforts to improve water quality were continued throughout the Town of Yarmouth with the utiliza- tion of a pump out boat. Approximately 325 gallons of septic waste was removed from vessels, free of cost to the boating community. The decrease in gallons is a reflection of the growing availability and convenience of land base pump out facilities. In September 2007 the town completed the installa- tion of a stationary pump out station at Packets Landing. This system will be well used in the com- ing season. Water quality tests have proven the ef- fectiveness of the pump out program as marine waste along Yarmouth's shoreline has continued to diminish. With the increase in popularity of kayaking and canoeing, we would like to remind citizens who en - 107 gage in the sport of kayaking or canoeing, state law requires any person aboard a canoe or kayak be- tween September 15 to May 15, to wear at all times a Coast Guard approved personal flotation device of Type I, Il, or III (323 Code of Massachusetts Regu- lations 2.07:10). There is pending legislation that will change state law to require persons aboard a ca- noe or kayak to wear an approved personal floata- tion device, carry a compass and a whistle, at all times throughout the year. For safety, we encour- age all persons aboard a canoe or kayak to wear a personal floatation device and carry a compass and whistle as the weather can be unpredictable and it is easy to get turned around in the fog. Other pend- ing legislation will require that all boat operators born after a certain date obtain a boating safety certifi- cate. The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, the Massachusetts Environmental Police and a num- ber of other organizations offer these classes. Even if you are a seasoned boater these classes are a good way to refresh your knowledge. Slip fees were increased at several of the town operated marinas in 2007. Packet Landing went from $75 per foot to $100 per foot. Colonial Acres and Englewood went from $30 per foot to $50 per foot. There were no fee changes for Bass Hole, which remain at $200 per season. Mooring rates also remained the same at $100. In the late spring Englewood Marina was rebuilt and installed. The floating docks were replaced, and pilings were added, making the whole dock system stronger. Engineering was done by the Massachu- setts Public Access Board at no cost to the town. Colonial Acres and Bass Hole Marinas are proposed to be upgraded as soon as funds can be secured. As a follow up to the upgrade to the Englewood boat ramp in 2005 the Massachusetts Public Ac- cess Board will be working with the town to up- grade a number of other boat ramps across town. Plans and engineering for the Wilbur Park boat ramp replacement, parking area and drainage upgrades and the construction of a new fish pier is underway and is anticipated to be completed within two years. We continue to move forward with the develop- ment of the Parkers River Marine Park. As proposed, the highlight to the marine park are a marina basin, a boat barn (dry rack storage), a public boat ramp, a marine science education center (to include the town's shellfish aquaculture upweller facility), an operations facility, harbormaster patrol boat station, a marine waste disposal pump out, and a fueling facility. The proposed marina wet basin will be cre- ated by excavating an upland area and connecting it to the Parker's River. In addition to the marina activities, the project will include public amenities including a scenic nature trail with overlooks, park- ing areas for vehicles and boat trailers, a commu- nity park for passive recreation and a tot_ lot with play structures. This is a lengthy process. We con- tinue to work our way through the pre -permitting stage of the Environmental Impact Report. We ap- preciate your continued support of this project. 108 DIVISION OF SENIOR SERVICES The Division of Senior Services offers a wide variety of programs, services and activities to pro- vide older adults the opportunity to become physi- callyactive, intellectually challenged and to social- ize with others. The Division serves as a resource for those who are looking for additional community resources for an elder and may not know where to turn for help. Our regularly scheduled programs include aero- bics, strength and flexibility training, yoga, Tai Chi, ballroom and line dancing, blood pressure and dia- betic screening, pedicare, cribbage, dominoes, decorative art, watercolor, oil painting, drawing, Scrabble, bird carving, low -relief carving, contract and duplicate bridge, knitting, quilting, men's cook- ing, Swedish weaving, needlework, mah jongg, poker, computer classes. The following are examples of the many special interest programs held at the Senior Center during 2007: 8 week Stress Reduction course, Embossed Note Card Workshop, Big Band Jazz Concert, 5 part Historical Series: Devils, Drugs and Doctors, North American Woodland Indians, Ancient Rome, Ancient Egypt, and Life in the Middle Ages, "Discover Your Own Authentic Style"- a 5 part Self Esteem Pro- gram, Rehabilitation after a Rotator Cuff Injury, Fall Prevention, "Reverse Mortgage -Is It A Good Op- tion for You?", Tarot Cards, "Are You Getting Enough Sleep?, Dental Implants, Acupressure, Jazz Caba- ret, Halloween Dance and Cook -Out sponsored by the LGBT Elder Project, Mysteries of the Deep Blue Sea, Securities Fraud, Decoupage, phones for those with disabilities, activities associated with the `Two Old Women" project, Health Fair, Brain Gym, "Where There's a Will There's a Way, "And Now...Mark Twain, a celebration of American music. There were also monthly presentations by the Lt Steven Xiahros, YPD and Lt. James Armstrong, YFD on a variety of topics of particular interest to seniors. Support groups are held monthly at the Senior Center to meet the needs of: the bereaved, people who have or who are caring for someone with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), and one for those who have had a laryngectomy. In addition, weekly M and Al - anon meetings are held at the Center for the conve- nience of those who wish to attend. During 2007, 13,000 phone calls came into the Senior Center many of them requesting informa- 109 tion about our programs and referral to additional local resources including: Elder Services of Cape Cod and the Islands, housing, consumer assistance, Meals on Wheels, transportation, service providers, and Protective Services/Elders at Risk. Approxi- mately 125 individuals attend scheduled programs and activities at the Center daily. The S.H.I.N.E. Program (Serving the Health In- formation Needs of Elders) assists seniors with all their health insurance questions and concerns. This is a vital resource for residents of Yarmouth as health care costs skyrocket and the choices surrounding supplemental health insurance policies become in- creasingly complex. This year the Division was awarded a $50,000 grant from the Commonwealth to locate the regional S.H.I.N.E. Program at the Se- nior Center. The staff for this program include: Di- rector, Sheila Curtis, Program Assistant, Ann Burchell, and Outreach Coordinator, Ira Wolfson along with volunteers: Maureen Hickey, Sue LaMastro and Jim Frame who are available by ap- pointment to answer any questions people have regarding their insurance coverage. They are a very knowledgeable and dedicated group who do an incredibly difficult job very, very well. Last year they met with 651 seniors at the Se- nior Center saving them an estimated $551,861 in health insurance costs. They answered 926 inquir- ies by phone from seniors Cape -wide that resulted in additional savings of $320,220. Federal and state income tax returns were pre- pared by the following 6 dedicated volunteers: Elaine Bass, Hugh Hilliard, Marty Lieber, Frank Morris, Bob Schrader and Phil Wick who volunteer for AARP's Tax Aide Program. They prepared 187 returns for individuals and couples whose incomes fall in the low/ moderate range. This program saved partici- pants $23,375 by preparing their returns at no charge. The volunteers must attend a five day train- ing program and pass a test conducted by MRP and the IRS before they can participate in the pro- gram. The training program for the region is held annually at the Senior Center during the month of January. Outreach Coordinator, Hilda Davenport along with volunteers Barbara Laband, Sue Holmes and Pat Patterson processed 131 Fuel Assistance ap- plications for the federally funded Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). As a result $91,000 in benefits will be awarded to low income elderly residents. Volunteers delivered 25,318 Meals on Wheels to homebound seniors a 7% increase over the num- ber of meals delivered during 2006. The congre- gate site served 3508 meals representing a 4% in- crease from 2006. These numbers reflect the grow- ing number of elders in our community who require this basic support to maintain health and indepen- dence. Participants are asked to make a $2.00 do- nation to offset the cost of the program but none are denied a meal for inability to pay. The Division works closely with Elder Services of Cape Cod and the Islands (ESCCI) to provide this service for Yarmouth residents. The Town granted ESCCI, $20,000.00 in Community Development Block Grant funds to offset the cost of this program. During FY '07, 40 people participated in the Tax Work -Off Program, sponsored by the Town to help residents age 60+ living in their primary home to qualify to receive $500 abatement on their residen- tial property tax by volunteering 83 hours in one of the town departments. Their contributions have been very much appreciated in each of the partici- pating departments: Town Clerk, Recreation, As- sessors, Town Administrator, Board of Health, Com- munity Development, Fire Department, Conserva- tion, Library, Transfer Station and Senior Center. The Senior Center is very grateful for the 150 volunteers working in various capacities through- out our programs. They deliver Meals on Wheels, work in our kitchen, provide computer instruction, take blood pressures, provide legal advice, prepare bulk mailings, provide rides to medical appoint- ments, prepare taxes, and serve as board mem- bers on the Council on Aging and Friends of the Yarmouth Senior Center. The time and talent they donate to our programs is priceless and we appre- ciate every minute they share with us. We are also appreciative of the community groups who provide goods and services to us that make the lives of those we serve more pleasant: Moose Family Lodge -rides for medical ap- pointments every Tuesday. This is a valuable ser- vice for those without transportation and for whom public transportation is not an option. Yarmouth Rotary -for handyman work around the Senior Center Old Country Buffet - refreshments Citizens Bank, Yarmouth- medical equipment Rockland Trust -check reconciliation American Legion Post 197 - scholarship funds Spinal Technology, Inc and Home Instead Senior Care - provided very generous holiday gift packages for needy elders. During 2007, the Friends of the Yarmouth Coun- cil on Aging donated $10,310.00 to the Senior Cen- ter to cover costs associated with: 50% of the mail- ing costs for our monthly newsletter, 5 concerts, educational programs, refreshments, taxi fares to medical appointments, blinds for the ballroom and seasonal decor. The Division is most grateful for their financial support. Many thanks to the Council on Aging Board members for their willingness to serve on the Board and the valuable contributions they have made over the years. Regretfully, we accepted the resignations of two members, Gerald Haley and Clare Hipp who will be missed for their expertise in elder issues. We do appreciate the time they gave to the Board and wish them well. I would like to personally thank the Senior Cen- ter staff: Cathy Flanagan, Hilda Davenport, Lisa Noferi, Steve Gabrick and Jeanette Hernon who all work very hard to make the Senior Center a suc- cess and a place where everyone feels welcome. 110 Respectfully submitted, Karen Marciante, Director of Senior Services Council on Aging Board Chair, Robert Isadore Peter Campia, Esq. Maureen Clark William Gallagher Virginia Robinson Elizabeth Sarnosky GOLF DIVISION The Division continues improvements to the fa- cilities and operations, including: • Continued the successful administration of the lottery tee time reservations system pro- viding over 55,000 golf rounds to Yarmouth Residents. • Continued efforts to promote golf among the youth of Yarmouth providing free instruction through golf clinics and summer golf camps.. • Continued the successful operation of the Golf Shops and the Bayberry Driving Range operation generating over $290,000 in rev- enue at the two courses; enhancing customer service to the patrons and continuing to effi- ciently utilize current golf shop employees, holding the overall golf operation wages to a figure only 1% above the 2003 level. • Completed the installation of a new, state of the art irrigation system for the Bayberry Hills Golf Course. Connected the water sources between the Unks Course and the Bayberry hills Course to provide both insurance and flexibility for the irrigation of the two. • Initiated a program of golf car path improve- ments at Bayberry Hills. • Continued to upgrade the level of mainte- nance and service at the courses with im- provements in methods and equipment; elic- iting awards as well as compliments from resi- dents and guests alike. • Collected a record $3,670,199 in revenue, yielding over $195,000 in excess over all out- lays. The Golf Division continues to strive to provide quality facilities and patron services. The division provides over 100,000 rounds of golf annually to residents and visitors while maintaining the finan- cial self sufficiency that will allow the funding the improvements that will enable us to continue our mission. .Continuing the trend of 2006 the Town of Yarmouth Courses generated record revenues in fis- cal 2007. Strategies to contend with the increased competition from. off Cape courses continued to yield success as the Division's revenue for FY2007 exceeded its day to day operating expense (includ- ing interest on debt, other expenses, and overhead 111 charges) by $655,067. When principal payments on debt are included, revenues exceed expenditures by $196,405. In FY 2007 Total Golf Revenue was $286,594 higher than in 2006, making FY07 the highest total golf revenue year on record. The gap between re- ceipts and expenditures was positive, with an ex- cess of revenues over expenditures of $$196,405 for the 2007 Fiscal Year. Yarmouth Golf has done well while many other courses have struggled with falling revenues resulting from a reduced number of rounds played and a concomitant over supply of golf courses available to play on. The Golf Shops and Range operation continued to do well, bringing in revenues of some $290,000 in FY07, compared to our realizing only $10,000 as late as FY02. Sav- ings resulting from the realignment of maintenance personnel and responsibilities between the two courses continue to yield dividends in efficiency and in improving course conditions. Available Annual Golf Pass options in 2007: Resident Annual Pass $695.00 Allows unlimited play at no additional charge Senior Punch Card $60.00 Allows 5 to 10 plays depending on time of use for those age 75 or older.

Toward this end, the Division seeks to ensure that new data is developed properly, that Yarmouth's existing data is being utilized effectively, that all departments have proper access to data, and that the Town's . systems and equipment are being used to their full potential. The Information Technology Division is responsible for fulfilling these goals, as well as, designing, acquiring, installing, operating, coordinating, and supporting the main- tenance of voice, data, video and related telecom- munications services for all Town offices as well as cable television broadcast. The Technology Division made great strides toward these goals in 2007. The following sections list what was accomplished and what is planned for 2008. -Net The I -Net (which stands for `institutional net- work') is a broadband fiber optic network which links 23 municipal buildings within the town allowing for high-speed transmission of information. Through the I -Net, these town buildings currently share file, print, E-mail and Internet access. Each year is spent main- taining and expanding this resource. This year we continued upgrading the backbone networking equipment between town buildings. Existing 100 Megabyte networking equipment was upgraded to Gigabyte speed. This is particularly important for the increasing number of Geographic Information System (GIS) applications being implemented throughout town. Additionally, the new West Yarmouth Fire Station was added to the network. 2008 will see the I -Net incorporate a new town wide phone system which will operate in its back- bone. As always, the I -Net will continue to be de- veloped and upgraded within town through the de- sign and implementation of effective and efficient methods of sending voice and video information between town buildings. Data Access and GIS The Division's goal in regard to electronic data has been to improve access to Yarmouth's elec- 113 tronic information, especially for town offices out- side of town hall and the general public. Currently, Yarmouth's electronic data is being used for a vari- ety of purposes by an increasing number of depart- ments. This has been accomplished through the use of the I -Net and our ability to access and utilize data from a variety of legacy databases. Sharing of this data through the I -Net allows the Town to maximize the capabilities of software ap- plications such as the Geographic Infommation Sys- tem (GIS). The GIS is an organized collection of computer hardware, software and geographic data designed to capture, store, update, manipulate, analyze, and display all forms of geographically ref- erenced information. This System allows users to perform very difficult, time consuming, or otherwise impractical spatial analyses. This year, the town completed implementation of two GIS based ap- plications. The first is the Department of Public Works' Computerized Maintenance Management Software, which tracks work order requests via the GIS. Second is the Fire Department's 911 Dispatch System which, among many other features, maps all 911 calls and determines the fastest route to a location. The Town has invested significant resources in its GIS and has put it to good use. However, we have only begun to tap the potential of such a sys- tem. Further investment will be required to build upon the existing system and expand its use by staff and the public. Channel 18 This year, Yarmouth's public access cable tele- vision channel, Channel 18, made significant equip- ment upgrades. New cameras were installed in the Town Hall hearing room considerably increasing picture quality. Also, new camcorders were pur- chased for recording offsite meetings. These cam- eras also dramatically improved picture and sound quality of remote meetings. A new Carousel bulle- tin board system was implemented allowing for easier to read bulletins, a weather scroll and the ability for departments to create their own bulletins. The bulletin board slides can also be viewed online. Lastly, a new video recording and storage server was installed which provides easier access and stor- age to previously recorded meetings, as well as, an interface with the bulletin board to automatically update the playback schedule. Live Video Streaming over the internet contin- ues to increase in popularity. This feature allows users to access Channel 18 through any internet connection by visiting the Town's Web Site. Users can also access an assortment of past meetings to watch "on demand." We have remained busy recording and televis- ing a variety of public meetings and events on Chan- nel 18. Our part-time employees record and replay Annual Town Meetings, Special Town Meetings, special events and informational meetings, as well as, weekly meetings of the Selectmen, Board of Appeals and Conservation Commission. The staff does an admirable job to provide the best quality broadcast and programming possible with the lim- ited resources and equipment available. Employee Training Information technology training for employees is essential for staff to be effective in managing in- formation and providing services to the public. Employee training is done in several ways. One im- portant prerequisite for this is standardization. This past year training was provided on the Microsoft Office XP suite, the LaserFiche Document Manage- ment System and the MUNIS Financial Manage- ment System for all town employees. Additionally, Carousel Bulletin Board training was provided to all town departments that post bulletins. These train- ing programs have been well received and result in improved information services and improved pro- ductivity. We will continue these programs to build the computing skills of Town employees in the years ahead. Web Page The objective of the Town of Yarmouth web site is to provide Yarmouth residents and the general public with pertinent and up to date information. The site provides viewers with a schedule of events, Committee and Board agendas and minutes, a list- ing of town departments, downloadable forms, a map of the town with pertinent landmarks, a phone directory, answers to frequently asked questions, links to resources and much more. Be sure to visit the site at www.yarmouth.ma.us. In the coming year, the web site will be undergoing dramatic changes. This past year was spent procuring a web site de- sign consultant to provide a web site design and content management system which would allow town departments to maintain their own web pages with great ease. In the coming year the new web site will be rolled out with better organization, added functionality and increased online services. We have made considerable progress in improv- ing information systems in recent years but there is still much to be accomplished. This year was the first full year with a full-time Technology Specialist. This additional staff position has enabled the Divi- sion to move forward with exciting projects while maintaining the existing information systems which the Town depends upon to conduct its business. Finally, I would like to thank the employees in the town for their patience and cooperation while we implement these projects. 114 Respectfully submitted, Shawn Maclnnes Director of Information Technology RECREATION COMMISSION The Recreation Division has long ago identified the need for an in -door recreation facility. When one considers the wonderful outdoor facilities owned bythe Town, including Sandy Pond, Flax Pond, and Old Townhouse Park—as well as the many beaches and golf courses - it is evident that these amenities reflect a well conceived and beautifully implemented out -door recreation plan. In sharp contrast, there are no municipal in -door recreation facilities at all. The Recreation Department depends upon school usage for its in -door programs. However, because of the priority that must be given to school func- tions, and competition from outside user groups, in -door space is wholly inadequate to efficiently run programs during the cold weather months and implement new program offerings consistent with community interest and needs. A citizens group has organized to explore the feasibility of building a multi -generational commu- nity building for all of the citizens of the Town of Yarmouth. So that the design of this facility accom- modates the needs of all age groups and every level of community interest, a needs survey distributed to the community, at Targe will be studied and de- veloped. The vital information provided by you, the citizens, as to the specific facilities you would like to see incorporated into the design and eventual construction of this project will be an essential part of the conceptualization of this building. The citizens group that has formed and is con- tinuously expanding is comprised of people from many different walks of life and all age groups — young parents, middle aged, and seniors. The de- fining measure of these accomplished and talented citizens is that they are people of ability and cred- ibility. If you are interested in becoming a member of this group and want to be part of an exciting, broad-bassd community project, please call the recreation office at (508) 790-9133, or stop by the .Recreation Office at 424 Route 28, West Yarmouth, MA. Leisure -time activities, including golf, sailing, tennis, traditional youth sports, swimming, aerobics, etc. are an integral part of the quality of life of the citizens of this town. They are also essential to the maintenance of the good health of people of all ages, and the proper growth and development of our chil- dren. It is difficult for us in the Recreation Division to 115 see many needs of all segments of our population unaddressed because of the lack of physical facili- ties to put various programs and services in place. We believe this lament will become a thing of the past, as we are ready to move forward — and now! Our purpose has overwhelming community support, as specifically recognized and confirmed by a needs assessment completed in 2001 to which nearly 6,000 of our residents responded. The development of a community center was at the very top of our citi- zens' priority list. The need for this facility has been clearly identified; now it must become a reality. The men and women who have committed to this project are people of vision who will work dili- gently to meet this very essential need identified by our citizenry. The quality of life of the people is per- haps the most important indicia of the success of any community and we in the Recreation Division are resolved to do everything possible to meet our responsibility to our fellow citizens to see to it that they and their families enjoy the quality of life they deserve. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many volunteers who have served the people of Yarmouth as coaches, program coordinators and volunteer staff. Without them, many of our programs would not be possible. Volunteerism has always been at the core of our department and we are deeply indebted to all of you who have so faithfully served. We likewise acknowledge the many valuable contributions of our Recreation Director, Pat Armstrong, and our Assistant Director, Doug Ma- son. The office staff, too, continues to do a com- mendable job, and in particular, we thank Donna Potter for her invaluable service. Respectfully submitted, Michael F. Stone, Chairman Deborah Clark, Vice Chairman John Serijan Dianne Duffy James Carroll Don Dorchester Donna Clifford David Delvecchio MUNICIPAL FINANCE FINANCE DEPARTMENT The Finance department continues to move pro- cesses to the new Financial Management /Account- ing software in order to drive productivity gains. Existing processes are being re -engineered to maxi- mize the productivity gains resulting from the use of the new tools. The changes are being done while the normal workload of the finance and other town departments continue. The following automation and/or process flow changes completed during Fiscal Year2007 includes but is not limited to: • Moving the data input of vendor invoices to the departments. This change eliminated the redundant handwriting and/or typing of the same information up to five times to the single input of this information into the accounting system. Putting the invoices into the system allows for the use of technology by the ac- counting department to assist with auditing each of the bills input by the departments. Approximately 92% of the bills processed by the town are now done via the new stream- lined approach. • Worked with the banks to receive electronic feeds allowing for automating the check rec- onciliation process, streamlined other func- tions related to transmission of information to the banks. • Began the development and use of Manage- ment Information reporting tools to audit bills, measure and track productivity for certain functions, report on data quality issues, link various databases together for generating actionable information formerly too costly to assemble by hand, etc. • Automated the production of the large num- ber of Municipal Lien Certificates created when properties are sold or refinanced using the accounting system instead of manually typing this information. • Expense budgeting was moved from discon- nected individual spreadsheets to the Ac- counting system increasing the speed related to rolling up expense budgets and eliminat- ing the need to later rekey the information into the accounting system when the budget process was completed. • Automated the ability to reprint tax bills. • For areas where the potential for obvious pro- ductivity gains exist, re -engineered flows have been created, software and process change solutions have been identified and cost / ben- efit information has been computed in prepa- ration for changes in Fiscal Year 2008 and 2009. Continuous productivity improvements are required to keep up with the ever increas- ing number and complexity of financial trans- actions processed by the town. The following areas are in progress or will be addressed in Fiscal Year 2008: • The largely manual process of tracking time and paying town employees will be ad- dressed with automated solutions and pro- cess changes. • A Purchase Order process using the account- ing system will be put in place. • The intake of and the balancing of money received will be streamlined. • The use and automated generation of Man- agement Information will continue through the increased utilization of existing software or by developing custom management informa- tion reports. • The paper documents related to Accounts Payable, Payroll and Accounts Receivable will begin to be imaged to increase productivity and reduce the costs related to the storage of the massive amounts of paper involved with processing financial transactions. Imag- ing will also help with disaster recovery plan- ning. I would like to thank the Finance Department staff and all Yarmouth's employees for their contin- ued commitment, enthusiasm and effort put forth throughout the implementation of new software fea- tures and processes. 116 Respectfully submitted, Sue Milne Finance Director TOWN ACCOUNTANT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR JULY 1, 2006 TO JUNE 30, 2007 Annual reports submitted in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 41, Section 61 of the Massachusetts General Law: SUMMARY OF APPROPRIATIONS & EXPENDITURES STATEMENT OF REVENUES Respectfully submitted, Susan Milne Director of Finance/Town Accountant 117 TOWN OF YARMOUTH SUMMARY OF APPROPRIATIONS & EXPENDITURES FY07 JULY 1, 2006 - JUNE 30, 2007 ORIGINAL TRANSFERS/ APPROPRIATION ADJUSTMENTS GENERAL FUND - OPERATING REVISED YTD REMAINING PCT BUDGET EXPENDED BUDGET USED GENERAL GOVT ARTICLE 2007 0 71,290.02 71,290.02 0.00 71,290.02 0.00% MODERATOR SALARIES 500 0.00 500.00 500.00 0.00 100.00% SELECTMEN SALARIES 15,000 0.00 15,000.00 15,000.00 0.00 100.00% SELECTMEN ADMIN.

My sincere appreciation to Assistant Tax Collector Jaye Anne Kesten; Financial Assistants Elsie Raneo, Robin Ben- jamin and Sheelagh Brockway. Respectfully submitted, Shirley A. Sprague Town Collector 129 TREASURER The previous Treasurer, Walfred E. Lundstrom, retired in March of 2007 and I would like to thank him for his assistance in making it a smooth transi- tion for me as the new Treasurer. With higher inter- est rates and maintaining a conservative investment policy, the Town exceeded the budgeted investment income. The Treasurer's Office continues to imple- ment and use the new accounting package (MUNIS) and we are exploring other functionality available in MUNIS, including cash receipts and Payroll to be implemented in FY09. During the year funds were borrowed via a Bond for the purposes of a new golf irrigation system, roads, solar energy system and Town Hall improvements. Meetings were held with the Investment Committee who assists the Trea- surer in the formation of the investment policies. Once again, the tax bills were mailed in a timely manner hence, the Town did not have to borrow in anticipation of tax revenue. We have continued to be very aggressive in collection of tax title accounts. The remaining un- collectible tax title accounts are in the foreclosure process. 1 would like to thank my staff, Irene Wright and Peggy Mason, for their assistance in my transition as the new Treasurer.

Annual Report From Chief Sherman A Tragic Loss We began 2007 in losing our beloved Deputy Fire Chief Peter A. Raiskio in February, respected by all who knew and interacted with him, and a life long friend, mentor, competitor and advisor to me during my whole career. He set a high example for all to follow of professionalism, integrity, public ser- vice and dedication to the Fire/EMS Services. New Station 3 Completed The new Fire Station 3 for West Yarmouth has been completed within budget and will be occu- pied 24 hours per day just after year end (opened January 17, 2008). It is initially equipped with an Ambulance and Fire Engine for the use of the on duty personnel, and will soon be equipped with a second Fire Engine (from the existing fleet) for the use of Off Duty and Call FF personnel for major re- sponses or to cover when the first Engine is being serviced. This project was accomplished with the efforts and cooperation of the members of the De- partment, the Station 3 Building Committee, The Board of Selectmen and Administration, the other Town Departments, the citizens for their votes of support and funding, the Architect, Owners Project Manage, General Contractor and all sub -contrac- tors. We hope that the community is as pleased as we are with this very functional supportive building for our emergency services. A dedication ceremony and open house will be held later this winter or spring with plenty of public notice. New Engine for Yarmouth Port, E48 Returns to W. Yarmouth Delivery has taken place of a new Engine for service in Yarmouth Port, equipped with full ALS medical equipment, extrication equipment and foam to enhance firefighting effectiveness. The existing first due Engine in Yarmouth Port is only 12 years old but has well over 100,000 miles of use. It re- mains in good condition due to maintenance and the care the department members render it each day. It will be renumbered and re -assigned to re- store Engine 48 to our fleet for service as the sec- ond Engine in the W. Yarmouth Station for use of Off Duty and Call FF to staff during major fires or covering when the first Engine is committed to other calls. Due to its configuration and equipment, it will serve town wide as the first backup Engine to re- place a duty Engine while they are being serviced or repaired. Personnel Changes After completing a competitive Assessment Center Selection Process, Captain/Inspector Rob- ert E Kelleher Jr. was promoted to Deputy Fire Chief in April. Retiring after more than two decades each of service were Lieutenants George Watson and Ri- chard Klimm. They will both be missed. Promoted to Lieutenant to fill these vacancies in the ranks were FF/Paramedic Charles Talbott, and FF/EMT Jonathan Sawyer. Lt/EMT Sawyer then transferred a few months later to become the second Lt/In- spector. Promoted to take his place on the line be- coming a Lt/Paramedic was FF/Paramedic David Morley. Leaving YFD for work in another Fire De- partment was FF/P Joshua Ford. Lt/Paramedic Gerard Walsh was called for the forth time to serve his country as a Captain in the US Army Reserves at year end and will be deployed overseas for over a year. The following people were hired to fill the va- cancies created: FF/Paramedic Christopher McMahon, recipient of the Bangs Award as being the top student out of a class of 72 at Recruit Train- ing, FF/EMT Michael Goodwin, a current Paramedic Student in his final internship before certification, FF/Paramedic Michael Lubash, FF/EMT Patrick Fontaine also a Paramedic Student nearing certifi- cation, and FF/EMT Jason Berry. Joining the Department as Call FF's and gradu- ating from the Barnstable County Firefighting Acad- emy this past December were five citizens desiring to serve their community in this capacity, 4 of them 145 son's of current or retired members of YFD, Call FF Damian Pareseau, Call FF Chase Caruso, Call FF David Caruso, Call FF Nick Napolitan, and CaII FF Anthony Gugliemo. Chase and Nick are currently enrolled in the EMT program at CCCC. Statistics The, statistics provided below are generated from multiple sources, the most important of which is the extra effort put in by Captain Alan T. Bowles in extracting them from our Firehouse © software which is used for record keeping of all incidents, inspections, and training of this department. The department responded to 6123 emergency calls in 2007, a 3.8% increase, the busiest Fire/EMS Department in Barnstable County for the third year in a row. There were 1269 fire or hazard related calls and 4854 calls for emergency medical assistance and care. Having personnel and equipment in all three stations provides us with the ability to handle no less than three simultaneous calls of varying types with an immediate initial response. EMS: Of the emergency medical calls, 3,874 patients were transported to a medical facility by YFD gen- erating ambulance receipts of $1,576,263.20 placed into the Reserve for Appropriation Account, which supports a portion of the departments' operations budget (wages), and 100% of our capital needs. 3705 patients were treated and transported to a medical facility with the following breakdown: Yarmouth Port residents transported 575 S. Yarmouth residents transported 1241 W. Yarmouth residents transported 1066 Non residents transported 823 Emergency medical calls by type of call trans- ported Medical 2901 Motor vehicle crashes 227 Other trauma 577 There were 1,149 medical responses that in- volved at scene care, no patient, assistance, no need, or refusal of assistance or transportation. In Barnstable County all departments share re- sources thru our Mutual Aid system to help each other during times of multiple simultaneous calls, large incidents or both. We responded to our neigh- bors' calls for assistance 70 times for fires or medi- cal emergencies. In turn they provided assistance to Yarmouth 53 times for fire or emergency medical calls. Fire and Hazardous Situation: 1269 Responses Fires of all types 158 Hazardous conditions, leaks, spills, CO, electrical incidents 197 Ruptures or explosions 3 Good intent calls, smoke, steam or hazardous release investigation 182 Calls generated by alarm systems, malicious or accidental alarms, bomb scares, sprinkler system activations without fire, carbon monoxide alarms 515 Calls for emergency services: lockouts, utility problems or hazards, unauthorized burning, assist other agencies 194 Special incidents, investigations 20 The reports of Fire Prevention, Public Safety Education and Training follow my report. It is with the support and cooperation of these and all mem- bers of this department that make us successful in providing these vital public safety services to the citizens of this community. Fire Prevention Report from Deputy Chief Robert F. Kelleher Jr. "To identify and reduce hazards in the Town of Yarmouth through education, inspections, code enforcement, and fire investigation." Two years in Fire Prevention under the expert tutelage of Deputy Peter Raiskio wasn't nearly enough. I miss his knowing smile and dry wit, but most of all his expertise in the answer to the ques- tion I'm usually pouring through the code books looking for. Lieutenant Jon Sawyer was promoted to Lieutenant/Inspector in Fire Prevention and has been a great asset who is enjoying his role in code review and enforcement and has continued to fos- 146 ter our good working relationship with the other In- spectors in Town. Lieutenant/Inspector James Armstrong continues and has expanded our com- munity outreach and educational efforts for all seg- ments of the community. Lieutenant Armstrong is a regular speaker at the Senior Citizen Center com- bining his easy going style and a strong Fire Pre- vention and accident prevention message. He also works with three or four interns each semester from the high school, continuing the program started by Deputy Raiskio over 11 years ago, introducing kids from our community to the Fire and EMS Service. We are proud that many of them have become in- terested in the Fire and Rescue Service, seeking further education or careers. Nathan Coughlin a 2006 DY graduate was recently hired as a FF/Para- medic in the Town of Sandwich. This past year has been devoted to completing implementation of the Carbon Monoxide regulations promulgated as the so called "Nicole's Law". It was passed in memory of Nicole Garafolo a seven year old girl from Plymouth who died as a result of Car- bon Monoxide poisoning during a snowstorm in February of 2005. Most residences and MoteVHo- tels are now required to have operating Carbon Monoxide detection. Shawn Macinnes of the IT Department was in- strumental in helping us develop an online permit- ting system for the resale of properties. This sys- tem is capable of saving many citizen trips to fire headquarters to file permits and also reduces the workload of our fire alarm operators. We have been online for 6 months and the sys- tem seems to have been well received. With the assistance of Lillian Orr of West Yarmouth, our senior volunteer, the Fire Prevention property files have been completely overhauled. We could not have gotten this project done without her assistance and we hope she enjoys the work as much as we love having her around. I would like to take this time to thank all of the construction professionals we have worked with during the past 30 or so months to complete the Fire Station Project. We truly have labored hard to get this project done, but the quality and character of the people we had the opportunity to work with was outstanding. I would also like to thank the men and women of the Yarmouth Fire Department for their cooperation when it was most needed. Public Education Report from Lt./Inspector James Armstrong Thanks to Karen Marciante and her staff at the Senior Center for their support of our monthly pre- sentations for Yarmouth Seniors. I have enjoyed presenting a variety of programs at the Center and look forward to continuing presenting through the years to come. SAFE program: With the help of a state grant the Student Awareness of Fire Education program was able to continue in the Yarmouth schools. Thanks to retired Captain Bob Phillips we were able to continue our popular "Freddy the Fire Engine" fire safety program for the lower grades. This year the setup and transport of "Freddy" was made easier with a new trailer purchased with funds that were contributed in the memory of Deputy Chief Peter Raiskio. Deputy Raiskio had a major impact on teaching public safety in Yarmouth and his memory continues to inspire public safety educators. In ad- dition to "Freddy," Acting Lt/Paramedic Robert Reardon presented his dangers of ice program to the middle school grades. Lt Reardon was recog- nized at this year's state SAFE conference, for his innovative "Dangers of Ice" program. Thanks to the members of the Department and . the Yarmouth CERT team for all of their help. Car Seat Safety Program: The car seat instal- lation program continues to be very popular. Under the coordination of FF/EMT Kevin Enright, 4 trained members of the Department conduct 36 car seat installation classes per year at CCH for new moth- ers. They also make appointments with new and existing parents to assist with proper installation and inspection of infant and child car seats. Thanks to all who donated their time and talent to this impor- tant program. This program does not receive any budget support and depends entirely on donations from the community and the volunteering of YFD members to succeed. (Donations can be directed to "YFFRA Car Seats" 96 Old Main St. S. Yarmouth, MA 02664) 147 Investigation Report from Captain Michael Caruso The Yarmouth Fire Departments investigation team is made up of A/Capt. Philip Simonian, Lt. Paul Holmquist, Lt. Matthew Bearse and I. We have been using a team approach now for many years and it has proven to be a highly efficient method in our determination of origin and cause of most of the fires we have had.An arson case from a prior year was successfully prosecuted in Federal Court this year with a conviction on an investigation begun by this team. On a good note, we did not have a par- ticularly high number of incidents which caused extreme damage this year. There will always be the common fires from cooking accidents, aged wiring and unattended candle use. The use of the educa- tion team visiting the schools, public education awareness from media presentations and our home and business inspections has made a tremendous impact on the number of serious fires that we have to deal with.The citizens of Yarmouth have done a great job in their home safety awareness and also keeping their smoke and carbon monoxide detec- tors in proper working order. Inspection and Enforcement Report by Lt./Inspector Jon Sawyer As a result of the filling of the second Fire In- spectors position, our office has been able to in- crease our Inspections, Investigations, Enforcement and Education programs. Fire Safety and Compli- ance Inspections of commercial properties have increased providing a safer workplace environment. Areas of increased inspection activity this year in- clude Yarmouth Port (6A), Ansel! Hallet Rd, Mid Tech Drive, White's Path area. Working closely with the town's building department we perform Annual Li- quor License Inspections. Building Inspector An- drew Arnault has been instrumental in scheduling these liquor license inspections. By joining teams with the building department we reduce the num- ber of times the town departments have to visit each site. This is helpful to the business owner and the town's departments. The new Carbon Monoxide Alarm Law (Nicole's Law) for commercial residential properties (i.e.; Motels, Hotels, and Inns etc.) went into effect Janu- ary 1, 2008. This has kept our office busy with con- sulting, permitting, and inspecting these new sys- tems. This law protects our visitors from Carbon Monoxide poisoning by early alarm for the occu- pants and notification of the Yarmouth Fire Depart- ment. Due to this law a West Yarmouth Motel averted tragedy when just three days after installing the new Carbon Monoxide system the boiler malfunctioned and the poisonous gas leaked into the motel. The quick notification and response of the Yarmouth Fire Department enabled us to quickly shut down the boiler and call for a service technician before any- one was affected. We would like to thank the Fire Alarm Dispatch- ers for their support of Fire Prevention, and Captain Alan Bowies and Firefighter Dale Starr for their ex- pert help with in house computer and phone sys- tems.

Todd: EMS The Firefighters and Relief Association has al- ways provided some assistance for training and equipment through fundraising endeavors. They have assisted in the purchase of a New Rescue Device, Rescue Struts. These Rescue Struts are used to stabilize a vehicle that has rolled over in a motor vehicle collision. The struts stabilize the ve- hicle so that. EMT's can remove an injured occu- pant, safely. We received a generous donation for the YFD AED Training from the Dennis Chamber of. Com- merce. Those funds will be used to enhance CPR/ AED Training to the community. Training: Training is aimed at the many roles the Fire -Res- cue Service provides. In service training is training done while at work, between other duties. All per- sonnel of the department participate with this "in service" training. We conduct training in buildings that are scheduled for demolition with the co-op- eration of property owners. A recent building was burned for training pur- poses. This barn in West Yarmouth was used to practice, Hose lines, Pumping, and Compressed Air Foam. These opportunities are limited and we take advantage of them as much as possible. CERT The Fire Department has a program called, Community Emergency Response Training, (CERT). 149 Our CERT Volunteers have helped at many events this past year. They have helped at two local road races, Fire Prevention Open House, the Seaside Festival, and the Health Departments Flu Clinics. Their newest effort is to organize Shelter Supplies for potential disasters and shelter management. They also attend monthly meetings and training. We are very lucky to have these people as volunteers. Another class for additional citizen CERT volunteers to join the Team will begin in January 2008. Co-operation We appreciated a co-operative effort from town departments which helps us continue with progres- sive training. Notes from Chief Sherman: EMS/TS Richard Todd has been instrumental in our efforts to con- solidate and make more efficient our EMS resupply efforts working with the contractors and Officers of YFD in centralizing all EMS supplies and 02 gen- eration at the new Station 3, in addition to moving his office there to manage this function and the new training room in that building. He has had the train- ing room in use for a couple of months already while we finished other issues to get the rest of the sta- tion ready for full time operations. Our EMS/Training Supervisor Rick Todd has continued to coordinate the training and utilization of our CERT volunteers in addition to his many other duties and responsibilities for the past 4 years. His extra efforts in this and other areas important to the department and citizens is greatly appreciated. Respectfully submitted; Fire Chief C. Randall Sherman POLICE DEPARTMENT tactical emergencies and serious traffic accidents. Our next step recommended in the PERF Manage- ment Study is the addition of four full time Dispatch- ers. We need to find creative ways within the police department and the Town to fund this critical need. The majority of the calls for police services starts and ends at our dispatch center. Our Department's challenge, for 2008, is to con- tinue to provide a high level of police service during a time of reduced State and Federal grant funding, societal changes, and keeping our police officers equipped and trained to meet all the needs of our Town. I will encourage our police officers to make lasting, productive relationships with residents and business owners, and continually remind our offic- ers that we are part of the community of Yarmouth. Above all else, the men and women of the Yarmouth Police Department are committed to professional service to our community while remaining compas- sionate and understanding problem solvers. We appreciate and will continue to depend upon your support. In closing, I would like to thank Chief Peter L Carnes for thirteen years of dedicated service to our police department and the Town of Yarmouth. After over thirty-five years of total police service, Chief Carnes has decided to accept the position as the Public Safety Director for Stonehill College. Chief Carnes challenged us to deliver an exemplary level of service to our community and emphasized team- work. He has always strived to recognize and ap- preciate the efforts of our police officers. He has been an unselfish leader, a mentor, and a friend. We thank Chief Peter L Carnes for his commitment to all of us at the Yarmouth Police Department. We wish him well in his new endeavor. am pleased to present the Annual Report for the Yarmouth Police Department. I would like to commend the outstanding performance by the women and men of the Yarmouth Police Depart- ment including our Volunteers. They are true pro- fessionals dedicated to improve the overall quality of life for our residents and businesses. During 2007 our Patrol Division exceeded our goals of reducing serious injury and fatal crashes. This was accomplished through teamwork by work- ing with our community in the areas of public edu- cation and awareness, road and sign engineering through efforts of our engineering and highway de- partments, and proactive enforcement by all mem- bers of our patrol force. We initiated the Accredita- tion process which includes a comprehensive re- view of the existing policies and procedures that meet nationally accepted policing standards. We expect to be fully accredited by early 2009. The State has installed new E 91 1 equipment that will more accurately describe the location of the emergency call and will allow us immediate playback on all tele- phone and radio calls for verification purposes. We have furthered our partnership with our schools in the areas of school safety and school lockdown policies and procedures. Yarmouth Officer Nick Pasquarosa, Dennis Officer Greg Famkoff, and Prin- cipal Ken Jenks have trained over 150 police and school officials from communities throughout New England. We continue to work with the Yarmouth Area Chamber of Commerce by co -sponsoring training for our retail businesses, restaurants, and lodging establishments. We hosted several meet- ings focusing on crime prevention and safety. Through a cooperative effort with other Town De- partments and the Massachusetts Emergency Man- agement Agency, we are better prepared to handle weather and other emergencies that may occur. We continue to collaborate with the Cape Cod Law Enforcement Council to improve our response to 150 Respectfully submitted, Michael J.

Brandolini, C.B.O. Building Commissioner BOARD OF HEALTH The year 2007 again witnessed the continua- tion of many Board of Health programs designed for protection of the environment and public health. The Board of Health addressed fluoridation of the Town's public drinking water supply for the sec- ond time in a two year period. The Board conducted two (2) public hearings, along with several Board of Health meetings on the subject. The Board voted 3-2 in favor of fluoridation after examining the mat- ter at great length. Fluoridation of public water sup- plies is considered the most effective and safest way to prevent tooth decay and improve the oral health of children and adults. Today, 139 communi- ties agree with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and fluoridate their public water sup- plies. Sixty-three percent (63%) of the residents of Massachusetts enjoy the benefits of fluoridated drinking water. The Board of Health took the lead role in imple- menting the recent Zoning Bylaw change restrict- ing occupancy to thirty (30) days within motels. The Board conducted several meetings and workshops, along with meeting with individual motel owners to discuss the new Zoning Bylaw. Several motels that conduct their business as condominiums, along with motels that offered long term stays, may need to appear before the Board of Appeals for clarification on their zoning classifications. KI (Potassium Iodide) pills were received in 2006 from the State Department of Public Health for dis- tribution by the Health Division to Yarmouth citizens in the event of a nuclear accident at the Pilgrim Nuclear Facility. Distribution of the pills continued through 2007 to those citizens requesting pills. The division continued to work with the schools, nurs- ing homes, assisted living facilities, motels, and camps to facilitate distribution at those facilities. The division has distributed 13,324 pills to 1,034 fami- lies and facilities. The Board of Health reviewed several health regulations: stable; poultry; horse drawn carriages; swine. A public hearing was held on proposed stable regulations. The Board met with horse property own- ers and Dr. Marina Cesar of Massachusetts Veterinary Medical Association. The Board adopted a regulation which requires a person to have one (1) acre of prop- ertyto be considered fora stable. The Board moved to prohibit owning swine within the town. Ongoing programs include inspections con- ducted by the Health Division Office staff of restau- rants, retail food stores, motels, cabins, camps, public and semipublic swimming pools and whirl- pools, rental housing units, along with responding to various complaints received by the department involving trash, overflowing sewage, rodents, and housing complaints of overcrowding, noise, no heat or no water, etc. The division office also performed soil analyses to determine suitability of building lots. The Health Division Office staff reviewed all Build- ing Division permit applications to ensure adequacy of the septic system as required by State law, prior to the issuance of any building permit. The staff also attended weekly Commercial Site Plan Review meetings to ensure that all new construction and renovations met with all health codes, i.e., septic systems, groundwater protection, etc. The Health Division Office continued to over- see four grants during 2007. The first grant was from the State Department of Public Health for tobacco control, to offer education and cessation programs, control smoking in public places indoors, and con- duct compliance inspections. The second grant was for assistance to moderate income families for pumping their septic systems. The third grant was for assistance to moderate income families for re- moval of underground fuel storage tanks. The fourth grant was for the assistance to families for the re- pair of septic systems. Rabies Control Program. Amy Von Hone, Assistant Health Director, coor- dinated the Rabies Control Program. Rabies is a disease caused by a virus which attacks the central nervous system and the brain. This disease can infect all warm-blooded animals including humans. There are numerous strains of rabies that are species specific that exist through- out the world and this country. For example, there is a skunk strain and a fox strain of rabies that ex- ists in the mid -western United States. Bat rabies has been endemic in this state for many years. Al- though certain animals are more sensitive to a par- ticular strain of rabies, the disease can be transmit- ted between species which includes pet cats and dogs, and even to humans. Because the virus con- centrates in ,the saliva of the infected animal, the 153 disease is usually transmitted by a bite or scratch, or by contact with the infected saliva. Massachusetts has been infected by the Mid - Atlantic strain of raccoon rabies since September 1992. Yarmouth's first rabid raccoon was discov- ered in September 2004. Since the discovery of ra- bies in Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Depart- ment of Public Health, with the strong support of our local legislatures, has funded an Oral Rabies Vaccine Baiting Program to prevent the spread of rabies in our wildlife population on Cape Cod. The original goal of the program was to prevent rabies from crossing the Cape Cod Canal by placing baits containing a single dose of oral rabies vaccine along the Cape Cod Canal to create a "vaccine barrier." This "vaccine barrier" had proven successful for ten years. However, in the winter of 2002, the barrier was broken on the mainland side of Bourne when a skunk tested positive for rabies. The first case of rabies east of the Canal was discovered in 2003, also in Bourne. Since then, Cape Cod has been the center of a massive rabies vaccine baiting program sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine, and more recently, the United States Department of Agriculture, Wildlife Services. Yarmouth, over the course of this year, has con- ducted two massive baitings (May and November) blanketing the entire town with the help of Health Division and Natural Resources Division personnel. As funding has allowed through the State baiting program, the towns of Dennis east to Provincetown were also baited with help from Tufts University (State permitted agency that oversees the program), the United States Department of Agriculture, Elder Services, AmenCorps, the Barnstable County De- partment of Health and the Environment, and the United States Coast Guard. The Yarmouth Division of Natural Resources again volunteered to be the primary storage and distribution point for the bait- ing events on Cape Cod. The primary intent of the program is to distribute baits by hand along every town roadway into potential raccoon habitat. Large tracts of land on the lower Cape that are impossible to reach by foot or vehicle are serviced by a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter. The number of animals tested this year is slightly higher than last year, however, there were no posi- tive rabies cases in Yarmouth. Although there were no positive animals, rabies remains endemic in our wildlife population. All town departments involved with our rabies response continue to make the ex- tra effort to respond to inquiries as quickly as pos- sible to prevent any further exposures to both hu- mans and pets. A tally of the animals tested in Yarmouth is listed below: 2007 Tallies: Cats 2 Dogs 4 Fox 1 Raccoons 5 Skunks 9 Squirrels 1 Opossum 0 Woodchuck 0 Bats 9 Muskrat 0 Coyote 1 Sea lion 0 Mouse 2 Animals Total: 34 (0 animals tested positive for rabies) The Health Division continues to work very closely with the Division of Natural Resources and Animal Control in coordinating the capture and test- ing of all suspect animals as outlined in the Town Policy developed by the Health Division in response to the rabies epidemic. The Health Division currently coordinates testing of all suspect animals which is performed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, in addition to relaying pertinent infor- mation and data to all affected parties of the rabies incident. Recognition must also be given to the High- way Division for their continued efforts to quickly respond to reported road kill, as this is another av- enue for potential exposures. The Health Division continues to be available for town personnel train- ing, and has numerous informational pamphlets and educational programs available to the public. Addi- tionally, staff from both the Health Division and the Natural Resources Division have been very active in the Cape Cod Rabies Task Force, which has been instrumental in the distribution and sharing of infor- mation among other Cape towns, and State and Federal agencies. The Health Division is grateful to the various town departments who have provided the neces- sary services to protect the public at Targe against 154 this dangerous disease. But, most importantly, the Health Division is especially grateful to the Division of Natural Resources and Animal Control who have continued to be a key component of the town's ra- bies response team. Their timeliness, knowledge and professionalism have made a potentially dan- gerous environment much safer for our town's citi- zens and pets. Additionally, we wish to express our appreciation to Animal Inspector Marilyn McIntyre for her professionalism with animal quarantines and barn inspections, and to local veterinary offices Hyannis Animal Hospital, Veterinary Associates of Cape Cod, and the Humane Society of the United States for their help and expertise with ongoing ra- bies cases. As always, the Health Division emphasizes the importance of vaccinating all cats and dogs, as re- quired by law, to prevent the spread of rabies. Be- cause household pets, especially cats, are the com- mon link between infected wildlife and humans, pets must be properly restrained and identified. Humans should avoid contact with all stray animals and wild- life and should notify the Health Division Office or Division of Natural Resources immediately in the event of a potential rabid exposure (human or pet) or the sighting of a strangely acting animal. Preventive Health Programs In conjunction with the Barnstable County De- partment of Health and Environment, additional ongoing Board of Health preventive health programs included monitoring the thirteen Human Service agencies, with a total budget of $84,500.00, that provide various community health services to the townspeople. Those Human Services are as follows: CapeAbilities Salvation Army Independence House Sight Loss Services, Inc. South Coast Legal Services Consumer Assistance Council Cape Cod Human Services, Inc. AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Cape Cod Visiting Nurse Association of Cape Cod, Inc. Cape Cod Child Development (Head Start Program) Operation In From the Streets (Cape Cod Council of Churches) 155 Hands of Hope Outreach Center (Cape Cod Council of Churches) All of the Human Services provided a greater share of services than monies appropriated. The difference in appropriation was made up by free care through agency fund raising or through State or Federal grants. All agencies are requesting an in- crease in appropriations to maintain the services provided to Yarmouth residents. The following is a brief description of each of the thirteen Human Ser- vice agencies: 1. South Coast Legal Services This agency administers the Elder Law Project, which provides free civil legal representation to Yarmouth residents over the age of sixty, in the ar- eas of landlord -tenant relations, elderly housing, utilities, nursing home quality of care, health care, government benefits, disability, and some wills. The agency also provides civil legal representation to low income individuals and families. 2. CapeAbilities (formally Nauset, Inc.) This agency provides vocational rehabilitation to handicapped citizens. Vocational services have as a goal, after assessment and skill training, place- ment in a setting which optimizes an individual's level of functioning. 3. Cape Cod Child Development (Head Start Program) The Head Start Program was launched in 1965 as part of the War on Poverty by President Johnson. It emphasizes parental involvement and compre- hensive services to preschool children (ages 3-5) and their families. The services include health and dental screenings, immunizations, early detection of physical and mental disabilities, motivational de- velopment, nutrition and general preparation of chil- dren for entry into public education. Studies have shown that the children having experienced Head Start show lasting gains in school performance. The Cape Cod Child Development Program, in ad- dition to the federally funded Head Start Program, furnishes day care services to working parents. These children and their families are served in a variety of day care models including Family Day Care, Preschool Day Care and After School Day Care. The Early Childhood Intervention Program provides services to children from birth to three (3) years of age who are physically handicapped, mentally re- tarded, brain damaged or seem delayed in their development. Services are also furnished to the families of children in weekly home visits. 4. Consumer Assistance Council The Cape Cod Consumer Assistance Council was established in 1972 as a private, non-profit agency dedicated to resolving disputes between merchants and trades people, along with respond- ing to requests for information by consumers and business persons. There are twenty volunteers who donate their services to the agency, in handling phone calls and complaints. 5. Sight Loss Services, Inc. Sight Loss Services is the only Cape agency providing support and information services to the newly blind, the visually impaired, and people with progressive eye disease. 6. Independence House Independence House, established in 1979, is the Cape's only resource center for battered women, their children, and rape and sexual assault survi- vors. A program of services is. provided to women who have been threatened with or have experienced physical, emotional or sexual abuse. 7. Visiting Nurse Association of Cape Cod, Inc. The V.N.A. provides health oriented instructional care and services to individuals and to entire fami- lies in the home or other appropriate locations. The agency has been serving Yarmouth residents for over 75 years. Comprised of nurses, home health aides, thera- pists and social workers, the skilled V.N.A. staff works closely with the Health Division Office to pro- vide the highest quality and most advanced home care available today. On-going programs under the Board of Health include: health counseling/screening sessions, such as diabetic, hearing and cholesterol; flu clinics; maternal/child care visits and adult home health assessments; also monthly immunizations for pre- school children are held at the V.N.A. office. Health promotional programs included information and encouragement to first-time mothers. The services provided by the V.N.A. are as fol- lows: Office Visits Special Programs Medical Social Work Office Immunizations Visits for Maternal/Child Health Children for Preschool Immunization Hours for Health Counseling/Screening Hours for Seaside Festival Health Fair Hours for Flu Clinic and Pre -filled Syringes Investigation of Communicable Diseases The bimonthly blood pressure and diabetic screening clinics at town hall were attended by 295 people. 8. Cape Cod Human Services, Inc. The purpose of the agency is to promote, strengthen, and conserve wholesome family life by making available to individuals, couples, and fami- lies the services of trained social workers, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and mental health per- sonnel; to provide professional, confidential indi- vidual, family, couple, and group counseling, such as: case work, group work, crisis intervention, resi- dential treatment, day programming, consultation and education; to facilitate consumers effective identification and solution of problems arising be- tween themselves and their environment; to pro- mote sound mental health, improved care and treat- ment of the mentally ill. The PHOENIX Program is to help individuals referred by the courts for mul- tiple offenses of driving under the influence. 9. AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod The purpose of this agency is to provide opti- mal HIV services to all residents of the town. Ser- vices that are provided are support to group mem- bers, provide HIV educational outreach work with the Board of Health in developing AIDS in the work place policies. 10. Hands of Hope Outreach Center (Cape Cod Council of Churches) The agency provides multi -service outreach serving low-income families. The center operates with donations from member churches, the com- munity, income from the thrift and furniture shops, along with some town and federal grants. 156 11. Operation In From The Streets (Cape Cod Council of Churches) 12. Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Cape Cod The agency's purpose is to help children cope with the special problems they face growing up in single parent homes. The goal is to match children to dedicated and caring adults who will be good role models and provide the adult friendship and guidance. The agency also provides all children in the program, matched and unmatched, with activi- ties that will enrich their lives during their formative years and teach them how to get along with one another. 13. Salvation Army The agency provides rent/mortgage assistance, heating assistance, monthly food pantry visits, send- ing toys to children at Christmas, and providing holiday meal baskets at Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Health Fairs and Clinics The Board of Health offers monthly health pre- ventive programs, such as Preschool Immuniza- tions, Diabetic Screenings, Nutritional and Adult Health Counseling Clinics, along with Blood Pres- sure and Hearing Tests on a bimonthly basis at Town Hall. Additional or expanded services are continu- ally under review by the Board. Again planned for the upcoming year are the annual Flu Clinics (ap- proximately 1,500 people), multiple educational pro- grams, Skin Saver, Breast Mammography, Choles- terol Screening and Glaucoma Clinics. The Health Division Office staff, in conjunction with Health and Safety Training Associates, held Heimlich Anti -Choking Clinics for food service per- sonnel. In conjunction with the Yarmouth Restau- rant Association, the Health Division Office staff of- fered a ServSafe course for food service establish- ments. The Health Division Office also held a series of pool safety certification courses for motel person- nel, which included C.P.R. and Standard First Aid. 157 Bathing Beaches Water Quality The Massachusetts Department of Public Health adopted a new regulation which became effective in April of 2001 requiring bathing beaches to be tested weekly. The Department of Public Health's intent is to protect the health, safety and wellbeing of the users of bathing beaches. The Yarmouth Health Division, in conjunction with the Bamstable County Health Department con- ducted multiple testing at 16 salt water and 10 fresh water bathing beaches on a weekly basis from Memorial Day through Labor Day. A total of 412 samples were collected. Over the course of the summer, four beaches were posted closed due to elevated bacteria levels caused by runoff from heavy rains. All beaches were reopened within 24 hours after successful retests. West Nile Virus Encephalitis Program Brian Heaslip, Housing Inspector, coordinated this program for the 2007 season. West Nile Virus (WNV) encephalitis is a rare dis- ease caused by a virus. In a small percentage of people, the disease can become serious, even fa- tal. The virus that causes WNV encephalitis, which had not been identified in the United States before the summer of 1999, occurs naturally in Europe, Africa, and Asia. It is not known where the U.S. vi- rus came from. The virus grows in birds, and it is transmitted from bird to bird and from bird to hu- mans by mosquitoes. Horses bitten by mosquitoes carrying WNV can also become sick. Mild WNV infections cause fever, headache and body aches, often with a skin rash and swollen lymph glands. More severe infections can cause headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disori- entation, coma, tremors, convulsions, paralysis and, sometimes, death. There is no treatment for WNV infection. About 7% of people who are infected with the virus die from it. However, doctors can treat the symptoms of WNV encephalitis. WNV is spread only by mosquitoes that are in- fected with WNV. People and horses that have WNV infection cannot spread the disease. There is no evidence that a person can get WNV from handling live or dead infected birds. Still, you should avoid bare-handed contact when handling dead animals, including birds. If you must handle dead birds, use gloves or double plastic bags. The risk of getting WNV encephalitis is highest from late July through September. The virus is spread by adult mosqui- toes, which are killed by frost in the fall. There is no WNV vaccine for people or horses. The only way to protect yourself is to keep mosqui- toes from biting you. Follow these steps every sum- mer if you live in or visit an area with mosquitoes: • Avoid outdoor activities after dark (between dusk and dawn), if possible, as this is the time of greatest mosquito activity. • If you must be outdoors when mosquitoes are active, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Use mosquito repellent that contains DEET (the chemical N-N-diethyl-meta-toluamide) and follow the directions on the label. DEET can be toxic if overused. Never use DEET on infants. Avoid using repellents with DEET concentrations above 15% for children and with concentrations above 35% for adults. Cream, lotion or stick formulas are best. Avoid products with high amounts of alcohol. • Take special care to cover up the arms and legs of children playing outdoors. When you bring a baby outdoors, cover the baby's carriage or play- pen with mosquito netting. • Fix any holes in your screens and make sure they are tightly attached to all your doors and win- dows. To reduce mosquito populations around your home and neighborhood, get rid of any standing water that is available for mosquito breeding. Mos- quitoes will breed in any puddle or standing water that lasts for more than four days. Here are some simple steps you can take: • Dispose of metal cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots and other water holding containers that have collected on your property. • Pay special attention to discarded tires that may have collected on your property. Tires are a common place for mosquitoes to breed. • Drill holes in the bottom of recycling con- tainers that are left out doors, so that water can drain out. • Clean clogged roof gutters. • Turn over plastic wading pools and wheel- barrows when not in use, and do not allow water to stagnate in birdbaths. • Aerate ornamental pools or stock them with fish. Keep swimming pools clean and properly chlo- rinated. • Use landscaping to eliminate standing wa- ter that collects on your property. The Health Division worked closely with Cape Cod Mosquito Control. Potential wet areas were identified and treated. The Health Division received 13 calls on dead birds meeting the criteria for test- ing. Seven (7) birds were tested, with all results com- ing back negative. The Health Division expects the collection and testing of birds to continue, and will be working closely with the State Department of Public Health and with Cape Cod Mosquito Control. Tobacco Control Program In 1994, Yarmouth became one of seventeen Cape towns participating in the Regional Tobacco Control State Department of Public Health Grant, which is administered by the County Health Depart- ment. This grant is funded by the State through the cigarette tax. After several public meetings and joint meet- ings with the Barnstable Board of Health, the Yarmouth Board of Health adopted a regulation pro- hibiting smoking within restaurants, lounges and bars, effective April 3, 2000. The towns of Barnstable and Dennis also enacted similar regulations. The Massachusetts Smoke -Free Workplace Law went into effect on July 5, 2004. As a result, all fifteen Cape towns prohibit smoking in public places. Sev- eral compliance checks were performed in the past with no violations observed. The Health Division continues to work with the Cape Cod Regional To- bacco Control Program in offering education and smoking cessation programs. The Board had previously approved regulations that prohibit smoking in indoor public places, such as retail stores, office buildings; ban cigarette vend- ing machines to prevent under age access; and re- quire a license to sell tobacco products. In 2007 there were 40 licenses issued to establishments to sell tobacco products. The division worked with Cape Cod Tobacco Control in conducting 76 com- pliance checks in 2007. Five (5) establishments were issued fines. Yarmouth tobacco retailers achieved 96% compliance with the regulations preventing under age tobacco retail sales. 158 Septic Systems Program The State Title 5 Septic Regulations that took effect in March of 1995 continue to inundate the division office with inquiries, requests for deep and perc tests, plan reviews, permits and final septic inspections. The office at one time had 50 people waiting for perc/deep testing, along with a three week wait for review of engineered septic plans. Many of these were for the installation of septic sys- tems for Real Estate sales, new construction, con- struction/renovation, and septic repairs. To meet this need the division engaged the County Health De- partment to assist in witnessing deep and perc test- ing. The Board has delegated authority to Health Division staff to approve septic repair variances "in house" after review of engineered plans for maxi- mum feasible compliance, to expedite the permit- ting process. The staff reviewed and approved 88 septic variances under this criterion. The new Title 5 Regulations also require the division office to re- view and comment on septic system evaluation re- ports on every Real Estate sales transaction. There were 541 Septic Inspection Reports reviewed be- tween January and December 2007.

New con- struction and additions/renovations increasing sep- tic system flows are now required to size the septic system at 110 gallons per bedroom per 10,000 square feet of land. This section of Title 5 is for the protection of the drinking water. With this new sec- tion of the regulation in effect, the Board of Health rescinded their 1986 Nitrate Loading Regulation, which placed a restriction on the number of bed- rooms and lawn area. 159 The Board of Health continues to monitor the first approvals in the State, from the Department of Environmental Protection, to allow an alternative septic technology installation. A Bioclere Self -Con- tained Waste Water Treatment Plant that provides additional treatment was installed at a residential location on Mercury Drive and at the Super Stop & Shop.

Continuing implementation of this program includes: septic system maintenance pamphlets, consulta- tions, written and audio-visual materials, along with sewage system location cards and pumping histo- ries that are provided by the Health Division staff to assist homeowners in locating their septic system for routine maintenance pumping. As required by State law, the Health Division Office reviews all Build- ing Permits to determine the adequacy of the sep- tic system for all projects involving building alter- ations and/or renovations, and requires upgrading of all cesspools to a new septic system, which is helping to ensure protection of the town's ground- water quality. As a condition of receiving Federal. and State assistance for the construction of the septage treat- ment facility, the Board of Health was required to adopt a septic system inspection and maintenance regulation, to protect the public health and our vital sole -source water supply. The services of Aquarion Services Company were obtained to work under the Director of Health to implement the Inspection and Maintenance Pro- gram for the towns of Yarmouth and Dennis. In order to ensure that a septic system contin- ues proper operation, it is necessary from time to time to remove the accumulated solids and sludge from the bottom of the septic tank or cesspool. It is particularly important to keep the solids from being carried over into and clogging the leaching system. The rate of accumulation of solids is primarily re- lated to the intensity of use (Le., how many people are using the septic system; is the septic system used all year or only seasonally; is a garbage grinder used - not recommended), so the time interval be- tween pumpings will vary for each home. There- fore, the regulation requires that all systems be pumped every four years or have a FREE inspec- tion by town agents to determine if a septic pumpout is needed. Health And Environmental Services Grant Program The Yarmouth Board of Health was required to adopt regulations requiring the pumping of septic tanks once every four years with certain waiver pro- visions. This requirement was a result of an E.P.AJ Massachusetts Department of Environmental Pro- tection grant of monies to the town for construction of the Septage Treatment Plant. This grant encour- ages assistance to low and moderate income resi- dents in complying with the regulation, as well as assistance in repairing/replacing failed septic sys- tems and old oil tanks. The statistics for grant awards are as follows: Low Income 1 Very Low Income 7 30% of Median 2 Denied 0 Septic Installation/Repair 7 Oil Tank Removal 2 Septic Pumping 2 Septic Pumping Reimbursement Activity 884 Private Treatment Plants The Board of Health and the Health Division, in conjunction with the Board's consultant, Wright- Pierce Engineers, continued to monitor and review engineered plans, and monthly operational and maintenance reports, along with the Department of Environmental Protection (D.E.P.), for private sew- age treatment facilities. Several meetings were held for review of the treatment plant's groundwater dis- charge permits along with hydrological and envi- ronmental reports. There are presently operating within the town the following private treatment plants: 1. Buck Island Condominium 94 Living Units: 50,000 GPD on 32 acres, 1978 2. Cove Motel Route 28 - 229 Time Sharing Units, 194 Seat Restaurant, and Health Facility: 39,900 GPD on 23.6 acres, 1986 3.

D -Y Regional High School Station Avenue —17,000 GPD, 2006 160 Hazardous Waste Activities Carl Lawson is the town's Hazardous Waste In- spector. Carl's duties include administering the Board of Health regulation, "Handling & Storage of Toxic or Hazardous Materials," to approximately 150 businesses within the town, to ensure all businesses are handling and storing hazardous or toxic materi- als properly, for the protection of the environment and public health. The regulation was adopted by the Board of Health on March 26,1990 and requires annual registration and licensure for those busi- nesses handling or storing toxic or hazardous ma- terials or generating hazardous waste in the Town of Yarmouth.

Materials, which in 2007 saw 207 households participate. The licensed hazard- ous waste firm of EnviroSafe collected 25 drums containing paints, thinners, pesticides, and miscel- laneous chemicals that were removed off -Cape to a licensed hazardous waste facility. Yarmouth also offered nine (9) joint collection days at the Bamstable Landfill. Carl is also responsible for monitoring those sites listed as Confirmed Hazardous Waste Sites by the Department of Environmental Protection ,(D.E.P.). Carl's duties also include monitoring the clean-up actions of these sites. In the past these clean-up actions included the use of soil vapor extraction systems, which involved the use of air stripping tow- ers. Other clean-up methods involved the removal of contaminated soils and the installation of ground water monitoring wells. Carl coordinates public health emergency plan- ning as required by the State Department of Public Health. This planning includes emergency dispens- ing sites, KI distribution, attending State and regional meetings, and working with representatives from Police, Fire, the County, the Department of Public Health, the Medical Reserve Core, and the School Department. Housing Program This program is administered by Brian Heaslip. Housing rental units are monitored and inspected according to the 1976 Town Rental Bylaw. All rental properties are required to be registered annually with the Health Division. Brian works closely with the Yarmouth Police Department in enforcing the town's Anti -Noise Bylaw and the Occupancy Overcrowd- ing Bylaw. Brian also enforces the Massachusetts Department of Public Health housing regulations. Brian is a member of the town's Code Enforcement Impact Team formed in 1998. The Team consists of representatives from the Health, Police, Fire and Building Departments.

As in prior years, 2007 saw the Health Inspec- tors continue to work toward higher public health standards through their attendance of, and their in- volvement in, meetings, seminars, and conferences, sponsored by the State Department of Public Health, the Massachusetts Environmental Health Associa- tion, the Massachusetts Health Officers Associa- tion, Barnstable County Health Department Semi- nars and by serving on various State, town and county committees. The Director of Health's appointment by the governor continues, for the nineteenth year, on the State Board of Registration for Certified Health Of- ficers. The Board of Health held twenty-two (22) meet- ings during 2007. Hearings or variance requests were brought before the Board as follows: a. 4 Variance requests from Town or State Sew- age Regulations for septic system repairs b. 1 Variance request from Town or State Sewage Regulations for construction of a new septic sys- tem for new homes or businesses c. 19 Fluoridation - Discussions, presentations, public comment sessions, and preparation of summary for town election ballot d. 5 Tobacco Control Hearings: 5 Retail sale of to- bacco product to minor — 1st offense — $100.00 fine e. 2 Hearings — Revised Stable Regulations — Re- view and approval f. 2 Hearings — Revised Tattoo Regulations — Re- view and approval 1 Hearing — Revocation of Motel License Motel Issues: 1 Discussion with Community Economic Devel- opment Committee and Yarmouth Area Cham- ber of Commerce 2 Discussions of Motel Survey 30 Discussions/Reviews of Motel Licenses i.

We made the 25% submission for Higgins Crowell Road improvements to the Massachusetts Highway Department (MHD) and subsequently met with the design review engineer from MHD. He sug- gested we separate the project into a sidewalk/multi- use project and wait on the roadway improvements until the Cape Wind Offshore Wind Farm permit is resolved. The mainland cable route for the wind farm is along. Higgins Crowell Road. The DPW has de- cided to begin construction of the sidewalk/multi- use path with in-house forces doing the prep work and utilizing contractors for curbing installation and paving. Work should begin next summer/fall. This fall Town forces were also utilized in the construction and installation of the South Street sidewalk leading to Smugglers/Bass River Beach from Old Main Street. One pole in the middle of this sidewalk near the beach entrance awaits NSTAR, Verizon & Comcast to relocate the pole this winter. The Highway Division of DPW prepared and the contractor paved the multi -use path along Forest Road from Winslow Gray Road to Long Pond Drive, thereby completing a connector path from Route 28 to Old Town House Road. This will serve as a feeder route to the Cape Cod rail Trail extension, a segment of which currently passes by the entrance of the disposal area. Higgins Crowell Road side- walk/multi-use path should provide a second feeder route from Route 28 to the Rail Trail. We hope the tourist in motels along Route 28 will leave their cars at the motel and bike to the rail trail. KEYSPAN began their high pressure gas main installation on Whites Path in September. The work progressed to Highbank Road via Great Western Road in December when the crews moved back to Whites Path to complete the tie in to the Keyspan gas tank located south of Whites Path. The tempo- rary road way patch rides uneven but Keyspan as- sures. us the pavement patch will be a first class restoration in the spring of 2008. Rehabilitation plans continue to be developed by VHB, Inc. for both the Highbank Road Bridge, which we share with the Town of Dennis as well as the Keveney Lane Bridge (Mill Lane, Yarmouth Port), which we share with the Town of Barnstable. Envi- ronmental permitting will continue through this com- ing year. Construction will begin in the fall of '08 on both bridges. We are working with KEYSPAN to share the cost of rehabilitation of the Highbank Road bridge since they plan to hang their new main off the bridge. Highway Division personnel also did numerous drainage installations working in conjunction with the Engineering Division. These two divisions of DPW collaborated on a major installation serving Huntington Avenue (off Whites Path) that has been an issue fora number of years. All construction work was completed with Highway personnel and equip- ment, while Engineering purchased all materials and supplies needed for the project. This project involved the swap of land between the Town and a private property owner, for development of a storm water retention area, which greatly simplified the work and reduced costs. The Bass Hole boardwalk rehabilitation project was completed in January, with additional wood added by Buildings personnel to reduce the possi- bility of tripping or stepping off the boardwalk. There was significant space at the bottom of the railing system and the additional planks added at the bot- tom of the vertical rail posts eliminated the hazard. The Buildings & Grounds personnel under the lead- ership of Mr. Richard Court, rehabilitated the rest room facility at Bass Hole as well. A small storage building was purchased and placed at Bass Hole to store lifeguard equipment and supplies. Mr. Court, a mason, also helped the Golf Department repair their block pump house after the doors and blocks were removed to install new equipment in the build- ing. We appreciate his hard work and skilled effort. The DPW provides support to the Town's En- ergy Committee where a site survey was undertaken by the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MTC) to look at six sites in town to determine if there were any fatal flaws, which would prevent the development of a site for a wind generator. The two most favorable of the six sites were the Yarmouth - Dennis Septage Treatment Facility and the D -Y High School site, primarily due to the high energy con- sumption occurring at these two locations. After discussions with the Selectmen it was agreed to pursue a wind project at the high school, not only because of the potential savings but the educational opportunity as well. Meetings between the Energy Committee and the School Committee reached agreement to move forward with a feasibility study for a potential wind power project at DY. 166 Working with Steve Gavin of the Energy Com- mittee bid specifications were developed for the in- stallation of solar panels on the Town Hall roof. This 10.5KW system will be funded from money ap- proved at town meeting and a $50,000 grant from MTC. Work should begin in December and be com- plete before the new year if the weather cooper- ates. Once in place it will generate electricity and begin saving money for the town and its taxpayers. Due to the rising energy cost the DPW has been very aggressive in trying to reduce the town's oper- ating costs. Listed below are a few initiatives taken to reduce energy costs: • Town Hall — LED exit signs, added insulation in attic, replaced the T12 fluorescent fixtures with energy efficient T8 fluorescent fixtures, replaced the oil burner with high efficiency gas boilers, replaced exterior windows to re- duce air infiltration, installed set back ther- mostats: • West Yarmouth Library— replaced all windows with more energy efficient glass and reduced air infiltration; boiler soon to be replaced • Police Department Building -increased insu- lation in meeting room and modify computer controlled HVAC system. • Senior Center - installed computerized en- ergy management system, replaced some exterior windows. The DPW has bid and received the Emergency Generator for the Senior Center. Wiring and instal- lation will be done by Buildings personnel with as- sistance from Highway. This generator installation will allow FD/PD to utilize the Senior Center as a short term emergency shelter without disturbing the schools if necessary. With the assistance of AST, Inc.'s Bruce Barit, we bid a new salt shed for the Highway Division, which began construction in December. The project should be completed next fall. The Highway Divi- sion personnel cleared and rough graded the site, installed utilities to minimize costs in developing the site for the salt shed behind the current highway building. When the salt shed is built and in use, we plan to use the old salt/sand storage building to house vehicles, which do not now fit into the high- way building. While the Highway Division has grown, unfortunately along with the size of equipment, alas the building has not. The park development at Packet Landing has reached the 100% submission phase at MHD on December 10, 2007. This project should be adver- tised by MHD this winter and construction may be- gin this spring. Any work on the roadways or adja- cent parking lot will not take place between Memo- rial Day and Labor Day. The replica of the Cellar House will be constructed a short time after the park but under a separate contract issued by the Town. MHD did not want any involvement with "vertical construction" of the Cellar House. The DPW was well represented on the Advisory Committee for the development of a Master Plan for both Flax Pond and Sandy Pond Recreational areas. Following solicitations and interviews CDM, Inc. was chosen to develop the master plan. Sev- eral meetings were held and the public hearing will be held December 13, 2007 for input on the pro- posed master plans for both recreation areas. The extension of the Cape Cod Rail Trail through town with connective links on Higgins Crowell Road and a Zink into Flax Pond should interconnect all recre- ational areas for pedestrians and bicyclists. The DPW is also the prime liaison between the Town's Integrated Water Resources Planning Com- mittee (IWRPC) their consultant, also CDM, Inc. With the release of the Draft Massachusetts Estuary Re- port for Lewis Bay we now know sanitary sewers in Yarmouth will be required to restore water quality in Lewis Bay. The primary pollutant is nitrogen from septic systems. More information will be reported in the IWRPC report elsewhere in this annual re- port. I want to personally thank my assistant Mona Solmonte for her help and determination in churn- ing out the multitude of projects the DPW has had to bid or administer this year. Mona also adminis- ters all the Chapter 90 funding from the state, which purchased the Salt Shed, site work done by high- way force account for the salt shed, the sidewalk installation on South Street and numerous engineer- ing projects. She heads up monthly meetings with DPW support staff with formal minutes recorded of discussions to help keep our staff, which is located in different facilities up-to-date of Department pro- cedures and activities. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Mona! also wish to thank all the DPW employees who serve as our ambassadors when it comes to face to face interaction with our customers, the citizens of Yarmouth. By all the accolades the DPW office 167 has received throughout the year, both verbally and in writing I know they represent the town well and I thank them for that. • DPW, Engineering Division Richard P. deMello, Town Engineer During 2007, the Engineering Division com- pleted many ongoing projects, as well as began a variety of new projects. Our top priorities continue to include the Roadway Management Program (RMP), drainage improvements, and implementa- tion of groundwater -related flooding study recom- mended solutions. The following is a compilation of the projects that we continue to work on or have completed in this past year through field work, de- sign, inspection and/or oversight. Ongoing or Completed Field Projects: Annual Drainage Contract J. W Dubis, Inc. was awarded Contract #07 -55 -ENG for Drainage Construction - Various Locations. Drainage improve- ments were completed at the following sites as part of this contract: Longview Road (2 sites), Wing Av- enue, Arrowhead Drive (#8), Bayberry Hills Golf Course Driveway, Breezy Point Road at Braddock Street, Captain Small and Captain Weiler Roads (2 sites), Eldridge Road (6 locations at #2, 16, 52, 85,and 90 and Crow Street south to house #74), Fairwood Road at Highbank Road, Harding Lane (opposite #9 Wilson Road), Massachusetts Avenue near Shore Road, Ocean Avenue (#115), Oriole Way near Station Avenue, Pequod Circle at low point, Studley Road (2 locations), Shore Road (4 locations at #8, 18, 19, and 26), St. Andrews Way (#11), and Violet Glen Road at Lakefield Road. Centralized DPW Facility: We continued with engineering related design, layout, and construc- tion issues at the Highway Division site off of Buck Island Road. Work included: location of buffer zones for tree clearing; installation of siltation barrier; place- ment of fill materials; construction monitoring as required by the EPA Construction Site Permit; in- spections as required by the EPA Stormwater Man- agement Permit; location of the proposed salt shed; salt shed specifications review; incorporation of consultant prepared technical specifications into the Town's bidding documents; design and location of proposed drainage structures; design of water ser- vice location; and. specification and ordering of project materials and supplies needed during con- struction by the Highway Division. Cityworks/Computerized Maintenance Man- agement System: Training was started in January by Municipal Information Systems (MIS). Prepara- tion included confirmation of road centerlines, house address numbering data, as well as reviewing and correcting inconsistencies for the mapping feature. New computers were installed at all work stations in the Engineering Division. GIS software (ArcVIEW) training was attended by the Town Surveyor and the GIS/CAD technician. We have also researched unit numbers and addresses of condominium com- plexes for MIS to assist the Fire Department in in- stalling their newest software. Crab Creek Culvert Replacement Project at North Dennis Road: After several years of design and numerous public meetings, this project was fi- nally bid in January of 2007. Nine bids were received and Lawrence -Lynch Corp., Inc. was the low bid- der and was awarded the contract. They worked steadily throughout the cold winter months so that the construction could be completed in the early spring before the fish started running and the crabs started to arrive in the creek. We worked with the Old Kings Highway Committee to complete their request to install hand rails to assist residents at the site. Many compliments have been received on the appearance and improved usefulness of this site. We attribute the project's success to the wonderful input and cooperation that we received from the abutters, public meeting attendees, Old Kings High- way Committee, the Conservation Commission, and especially from the contractor. EPA Stormwater Regulations Phase II: We drafted, finalized, and mailed the 2007 Annual Stormwater Management report required by the EPA and MA DEP. We continued working on the pro- posed stormwater bylaws and regulations required to meet these EPA regulations. Town Meeting ap- proved the by-law in April and the Conservation Commission will finalize and implement the accom- panying regulations in 2008. Comments on the draft regulations were also requested and received from the Cape Cod Commission. Forest Road Sidewalk: We designed the For- est Road multi -use path crossing of the Herring Run; and, filed with and received approval for the project from the Conservation Commission. We provided the location and elevation stakes for construction of the retaining wall and observed its construction. 168 We also provided surveying and grade elevations to the Highway Division for their continued construc- tion of the multi -use path heading south on Forest Road past Winslow Gray Road to Long Pond Drive. Huntington Avenue: In an effort to relieve a long standing drainage problem on this road, we com- pleted the necessary survey and drainage design plans, staked the proposed work, and assisted the Highway Division as needed with construction lay- out and grades. A property transfer was necessary with one abutter to accommodate the drainage im- pound area, and a drainage easement was also re- quired from another abutter. We prepared and re- corded the necessary plans for the land transfer and the easement. We also prepared the bidding docu- ments and completed the bidding process for the chain link fence and gates which were installed sur- rounding the drainage impound area. The DPW Di- rector was the moving force behind this project and should receive many thanks for his abilities to get 'er done. Keveney Lane Bridge Improvements: Our consultant, VHB, Inc. continued to work on this project. They obtained approvals from the Conser- vation Commission, MA DEP, Old Kings Highway Committee, and abutters from both Yarmouth and Barnstable. We provided the drainage design, ad- ministration, and permit/plan reviews for this project. Multi -Use Path (Rail Trail Extension): We con- tinued to assist the DPW Director with the planning and design of the Rail Trail extension project through: the completion of additional field surveys; the pro- duction of various plans from Dennis to Barnstable; and, the staking and installation of 22 property bounds along the railroad right-of-way. Packet Landing Marina/Two Drainage Sites: A Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Coastal Pollu- tion Remediation (CPR) grant was applied for and received in the amount of $57,650.00. This funding was used to construct a new, permanent, Boat Pump Out Facility at the Packet Landing Marina, and to install drainage facilities at two sites on Longview Road and one on Wing Avenue. The Boat Pump Out Facility will be operated by the Natural Resources Division and should help to significantly decrease the amount of boat wastes dumped into Bass River. The drainage installations should help decrease the amount of coliform laden stormwater runoff from entering Bass River. Dubis and Sons Construction completed the work. 169 Packet Landing Site/Village Center Improve- ments: We also continued to assist the DPW Di- rector with the planning and design of this project through: the completion of additional as -built field surveys and the production of various plans needed by the consultant to design the proposed improve- ments; the development of a village center parking lot at Mill Lane and Commercial Street; and, the research of all available Chapter 91 licenses in the area as requested by the MHD. Roadway Management Program: Using the list developed through the Roadway Management Program software, the DPW Director, Assistant DPW Director and the Town Engineer created a lengthy list of roads that would receive maintenance during 2007. As a result, the following roads were sealed with a rubberized chip surface treatment material: Highbank Rd, Union St, and Run Pond Rd. The fol- lowing roads were sealed with a conventional chip surface treatment material: Baldwin Ln, Banister Ln, Bass River Pkwy, Belle of the West Rd, Brattle Dr, Burning Tree Ln, Carriage Ln, Christopher Hall Wy, Clinton Dr, Cobb Av, Colonial Rd, Cricket Ln, Cruiser Ln, Curve Hill Rd, Cutter Ln, Cypress Point Wy, Eldridge Rd, Frances Helen Rd, Freeboard Ln, Gay Rd, Green Wy, Heritage Dr, Hope Rd, Hosking Ln, Howes Rd, Jared Ln, Jones Rd, Katama Wy, Kingsbury Wy, IGGt Carson Wy, Knollwood Dr, Lam- bert Rd, Mattachee Rd, Mattis Dr, Millard Rd, Monterey Ln, Nantucket Av, Oak Bluffs Rd, Ocean Av, Off River St, Oliver St, Point of Rocks Rd, Pram Wy, Red Jacket Rd, Robert St, Run Pond Rd Ext, Schooner St, Studley Rd, Thatcher Rd, Wampanoag Rd, Webfoot Wy, Wild Hunter Rd, WiIfin Rd, and Yacht Av. Thin leveling courses of asphalt (1" pave- ment) were installed by the Town's paving contrac- tor (Lawrence -Lynch Corp., Inc.) on: Alison Ln, Anastasia Rd, Apache Dr, Baker Ave, Bray Farm Rd No, Brookhill Ln, Buck Island and West Yarmouth Rd intersection, Capt. Bacon Rd, Capt. Blount Rd, Capt. Crocker Rd, Capt, Daniel Rd, Coachmans Ln, Congressional Dr, Davis Rd, Exeter Rd, Firestone Dr, Hunters Cr, Huntington Av, Jerusha Ln, Leonard Av, Oyster Cove Rd, Paula Ln, Pondview Av, Rig Ln, Saddleback Ln, Stirrup Ln, Trophy Ln, and Whiffletree Rd. Pavement (2.5" binder) was installed by the contractor on the following gravel roads: Partidge Valley Rd and Salt Works Ln. Pavement was also installed by the contractor on the follow- ing parking lots: Town Hall and Bass River Golf Course. The Highway Division also expanded a sec- tion of the Town Hall parking lot. Shore Road Culvert Replacement: A CZM, Wetlands Restoration Project (WRP) Grant was ap- plied for and received in the amount of $22,500. This enabled the Town to complete the removal and replacement of a failed culvert on Shore Road. The resulting improved flushing should greatly improve the condition of the Salt Marsh north of Shore Road. The design and permitting was done by CLE Engi- neering. The construction work was completed by PKM Contractors, Inc. South Street Sidewalk: The construction of this sidewalk was initiated by the Highway Division af- ter Labor Day; however, it was halted when several abutters expressed concerns about the design. Af- ter we held a second public meeting (the first was held over a year ago), the project was restarted be- cause a large majority of the abutters and the gen- eral public were in favor of the original design. Even with this delay, the Highway Division and their con- tractor (Lawrence -Lynch Corp., Inc.) were still able to complete the majority of the sidewalk installation before the pavement plants closed. We assisted the Highway Division with this project through: staking of the South Street right-of-way; meeting with abut- ters to resolve construction issues; obtaining ap- proval from the Conservation Commission for the sidewalk portion near the Run; determining which drainage structures, fences, utility poles, and hy- drants needed to be relocated; and, preparing work change orders. The Highway Division plans to re- turn to the site next spring to finish up the project. New Field Projects: Access Road from Higgins Crowell Road to Sandy Pond Water Tank: We began the design and environmental permitting of a proposed access drive and bike path that will connect the proposed multi- use path on Higgins Crowell Road to the Sandy Pond Recreation area then connect to the existing sidewalk on Buck Island Road. New Boardwalk near Bass Hole: As requested by the Natural Resources Division, we completed the design and extensive environmental permitting required for a proposed boardwalk to be located to the east of the existing picnic area at Bass Hole. The local, State and Federal permit work included preparation of plans, applications, and submittals for: Chapter 91 permit; Coast Guard and Army Corp of Engineers Permit; and, Conservation Commis- sion Order of Conditions. Construction of this new boardwalk by the Natural Resources Division has already begun. Bayview Beach: We initiated work on a salt marsh restoration project in this area which we hope will eventually be funded under the CZM's Wetlands Restoration Program similar to the project that was completed for the culvert replacement off Shore Road (see above). To date, we have: completed the initial field survey work; compiled septic records/ test pits, soils, and groundwater information for project application for State funding; and, met with a CZM representative and the Conservation Com- mission Administrator regarding possible grant fund- ing. Unfortunately State funding was recently dras- tically cut and funding may not be available for sev- eral years. Brush Hill Road Taking: As requested by the Affordable Housing Committee, we began the pro- cess for the taking of the newly constructed portion of Brush Hill Road as a Town way. Forest Road/Old Town House Road Intersec- tion: As noted by the DPW Director above, the Town is considering safety improvements at this intersec- tion and Engineering continued the needed field survey and plan preparation work at this intersec- tion that meet MassHighway Department standards. Herring Run Projects: Two herring run related improvement projects are underway. One for the Highway Division is located off Forest Road (near Long Pond Drive) and involves the new multi -use path crossing on Forest Road. The second for the Natural Resources Division is located at the south- erly outherly end of Clearbrook Road and involves the con- struction of a sluiceway, fish ladder, and herring catching pool. Engineering is providing all field sur- vey, plan, design, environmental permitting, and bid- ding services for these two projects. Shore Road Seawall Reconstruction: Engi- neering completed the field survey, plan prepara- tion, design, and environmental permitting for this proposed reconstruction project for the Conserva- tion Commission. All work except construction has been completed and we are presently awaiting DEP approval of the Chapter 91 license. South Shore Drive Sidewalk: As a continua- tion of the South Street sidewalk, we completed the field survey and plan preparation work, and ini- tiated the design of the proposed sidewalk along South Shore Drive. This project is intended to im- 170 prove the safety of all users of the roadway - pe- destrians, bicyclists, and motorists. Wilbur Park Improvements: Engineering com- pleted the field survey, plan preparation, design, and environmental permitting for the proposed improve- ments at Wilbur Park (drainage and paving). Miscellaneous Assistance: Engineering also provided assistance on the following projects: • Plotted proposed site plan(s), and converted latitudes and longitudes to decimals for the proposed Temporary Wind Met Tower Site(s). • Created ArcMap plans showing abutters along proposed power line route for the Cape Wind Project. • Provided Fire Department with road centerline database for their use with their new software. • Attended meeting with Cape Cod Commis- sion to discuss DEP Beneficial Use Determi- nations for street sweepings. • Assisted Police Department by creating an ArcMap plan showing Emergency Manage- ment sites (MEMA) identified as "critical in- frastructure". • Staked proposed driveway at the Chandler Gray Cemetery. • Completed survey work and plans at the former Chez Lenore property on Route 28 near West Yarmouth Road for the Commu- nity Preservation Committee, who purchased the property. • Created an ArcMap plan of hazardous waste related facilities for MEMA. • Completed numerous staking requests to determine encroachments on Town land and on road rights-of-way. • Worked with Tax Assessor, Accounting office, and Town Collector to explore the possibility of attaching zip code and village information to Town parcels in GIS and Munis. • Assisted Fire Department with GIS relative to building locations and correct addresses. • Worked with Keyspan and several DPW divi- sions to process the Road. Opening Permit and special conditions prior to Selectmen's meeting and approval of gas main project on Whites Path, North Dennis Road, Great West- ern Road and Highbank Road. Attended meetings with Keyspan to iron out work con- ditions, contact information, public notifica- tion, and all related construction issues. The 171 Selectmen approved the project on July 24, 2007. • Researched plans and historical information of the John Simpkins School building and site. • Compiled three pages of drainage improve- ments made and proposed near wetlands as requested by the Planning Board's consult- ant (Horsley and Whitten) for the updated Open Space and Recreation Plan. • Assisted Fire Department with acquiring an ArcMap plan of hydrant locations townwide. • Created a one mile buffer plan in ArcMap in- tended for enforcement of current building codes as requested by the Building Depart- ment. • Created standard ArcMap plan of locations and labeled Water Division Pump Stations and Corrosion Control Facilities. • Completed survey work needed to create a recordable plan for Parkwood Road Town Park. • Completed a preliminary parking lot plan for Commercial Street/Mill Lane for the Planning Division. • Designed parking lot improvements for Town Hall. • Completed a drainage facility design, and filed a Notice of Intent and received an Order of Conditions for a project on Merchant Avenue as requested by the Conservation Commis- sion. Bidding Assistance: The Town Engineer and clerical staff reviewed, prepared, and/or assisted other Town departments with various phases of bid- ding document preparation and public bidding dur- ing 2007. The following are some of the projects:. • County Roadway and Materials Bids (#07- 44-BCTY & #07-45-BCTY) (8 Cape towns now involved bidding over 50 road construc- tion related items) • Drainage. ConstructionNarious Locations (#07 -55 -ENG) • Boat Pumpout Construction at Packet Land- ing (#07 -56 -ENG) • Shore Road Salt Marsh Restoration (#07 -57 - ENG) • Floating Dock Fabrication System at Englewood Beach (#07 -58 -DNR) Chain Link Fence — Commonwealth Avenue Drainage Impound Area (#07 -64 -ENG) • New Patrol Boat for the Natural Resources Division (#07 -63 -DNR) • Precast Concrete Fishway for the Natural Resources Division (#07 -66 -DNR) • DPW Salt Shed at Highway Division (#07-62- DPW)(incorporated consultant prepared tech- nical specifications into Town's bidding docu- ments) • Photovoltaic Array Installation at Town Hall (#07 -65 -DPW) (reviewed) • Various Tree Work (#07-31-HWY) (assisted) • Taylor Bray Farm Renovations (assisted) • Bass River Beach Concessions (#07-32-B&G) (assisted) Division Highlights: Plan File Management: We reviewed the cur- rent status of our plan file management software, called "Kruse Control", to determine the best utili- zation, formatting and access options. It was de- cided to convert the Kruse Control to an Excel File. A "read only" file was created for the office staff to perform searches to locate existing plans. The Plan File database was carefully reviewed, updated and edited to create continuity in the file records. Drainage Outlet Pipe Inventory: We finalized the initial field location work of all known drainage outlets (data collection and pictures) and noted pic- tures with computer files and reference information sheets. Munis Accounting Program: Continued with training on using this Accounting Division software. Began inputting division bills for payment, as well as budget entry and management. Learned budget input procedure for FY09 budget preparation. Processed 131 Road Opening Permits: Per- mit requests were received from contractors work- ing for Comcast, Keyspan, Nstar, Verizon, Water Division, and private land owners. A change in the Mass General Laws now requires that the Town is- sue permits for the excavation of trenches (for depths in excess of 3 feet) within Private road rights-of-way. This has increased the number of permits that we review and issue. All utilities and private contractors were notified of this change and the transition has gone relatively smoothly. Town Surveyor position: Efforts continued to hire a new Town Surveyor to fill the vacancy left by Bob Garcia, who retired in January 2007. Mr. Garcia, working as a consultant, has continued to assist the department in performing the minimum requirements of this position. The position was advertised twice. The first time garnered several qualified applicants; however, a satisfactory wage could not be agreed upon. A second posting resulted in a qualified ap- plicant who was willing to accept the position, but again requesting more compensation than was available. This led to the research and subsequent request of the Personnel Board to reclassify the position. Several Engineering staff members have taken over some of the duties to fill the void left in the wake of Mr. Garcia's retirement. Educational Seminars and Training Course Attended by Engineering Personnel: • GIS Seminar in Wareham. • Basic Construction Inspection sponsored by Bay State Roads Program. • Wetland Species Detection and Protection Seminar in Norwell. • Excel Computer Class. • New Survey Technology Workshop by Maine Technical Source (MTS) in Woburn. • Restoration of Fish Runs Seminar. • Cape Cod Commission GIS User Group — ESRI sponsored a presentation by the Natu- ral Heritage and Endangered Species Pro- gram regarding mapping and data manage- ment. • Barnstable County Public Works Association meeting relative to Chapter 90 reimburse- ments. • Webcast seminar on "logo functionality -point features" for Civil 3D software. • American Public Works Association seminars on sewering and stormwater management. • State Grant Funding seminar at DEP Hyannis office. • MTS demonstration of new Total Station with integrated GPS. • CZM Seminar on use of Water Quality Tool Kit (water quality software). • Federal Census Workshop for 2010 Census (LUCA). • Managing Multiple Priorities training. Thank You: Many thanks to the many wonder- ful residents, contractors, businesses, engineers, surveyors, Departments, Divisions, Boards, and Committees that we deal with throughout the year that make our jobs interesting and fulfilling. 172 DPW, Highway Division James Lefter, Assistant DPW Director The main functions of the Highway Division are repair and maintenance of our roadway surfaces including patching holes in the pavement, berm in- stallation and repair at the edge of the paved road- way, grading gravel roadways, catch basin clean- ing and repair, roadside brush and litter cleanup, roadside mowing and trimming, tree trimming and cutting, weed control, sign installation and repair, street sweeping, traffic signal repair and mainte- nance, roadway line -painting, special projects, and most importantly, responding to snow and ice con- ditions throughout the winter. The Highway Division has had several person- nel changes in 2007 with the transfer of Mike Benson to the Grounds crew. Unfortunately for the Division, Jim Henderson, the Highway Supervisor, decided to retire after more than 25 years of service with the town and his absence is truly felt. We will miss his knowledge and experience and truly miss his com- pany. Except for Jim's replacement, we have a full winter staff now though we miss our summer em- ployee, Nick Garofolo, who was seen all over town during the spring and summer months, keeping the roadsides neat. We look forward to having him re- turn again in the spring of 2008. Roadside Maintenance Brush cutting and trimming is a constant prob- lem throughout town. The storm "Noel" in Novem- ber was quite destructive, creating a tremendous mess of downed and hanging limbs and uprooted trees. Come December we were still clearing and brushing Noel's debris. With 243 miles of roads, keeping the brush cut back to eliminate sight ob- structions continues to be a big job. The Highway. office received requests for brush cutting which in- creased from just under 400 requests last year to almost 500 requests this year. Roadside mowing is usually done twice a sea- son, but this past summer, cutting was done three times and a few locations were done four times. Utter on the roadsides is always a major problem; Nick Garofolo collected an average of 10 bags of trash each day, five days a week, for five months. The trash continues to collect on the roadways all year, though at a slightly slower pace, and we look forward to having Nick return to help us with his conscientious sense of commitment. We are trying to eliminate the number of gravel roads each year, as funds are available. This year, the following gravel and dirt roads were paved: Salt Works Lane and Partridge Valley Road. Traffic Signs and Pavement Markings The Highway Division's sign section repairs and replaces various traffic signs throughout the town including the removal of concrete street name signs and the replacement with new metal signs. The Sign section is kept busy due to having to constantly replace a large number of street signs that are sto- len or vandalized. This section is also responsible for continuously monitoring the condition of pave- ment markings and then re -marking them; includ- ing crosswalks, stops bars, centerlines and fog lines. This summer we re -marked over 900,000 square feet of street lines. With occasional disabling fog and a growing older population, we strive to keep the street markings as vibrant and visible as pos- sible. Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance The Highway Division has two full time mechan- ics responsible for the repair and maintenance of all the equipment used throughout the year. This includes preventive maintenance, scheduled servic- ing, snow and ice equipment repair and the instal- lation of new attachments to existing trucks or equipment. At times during the winter months the mechanics may need additional help from the de- partment; and an aging fleet of vehicles keeps the mechanics challenged for time constantly and plagues the budget allocations. Thanks to Don Val- entine and Dave Morin we get the most we can from Highway fleet. Resurfacing/Overlays/Repairs and Maintenance The Highway Division completed several road- way projects this year in addition to the normal pav- ing and patching. The Town Hall parking lot was paved and received improved drainage; the sec- ond phase of the Forest Road Sidewalk Project was completed as well as the South Street Sidewalk project. The Highway Division completed the drain- age project between Commonwealth and Hunting- ton Avenues with Jim Henderson overseeing this 173 project. This project eliminated a roadway water hazard and helped eliminate some water issues with business owners in the area. The Division had a very busy year again completing a large amount of crack sealing, crack filling, road leveling, and the never- ending repairing of catch basins. The department also repaired and added drainage structures or catch basins to numerous areas throughout town. Snow and Ice The 2006 - 2007 winter snow and ice season was memorable only in that there was quite a bit of icing up and black ice on the roads for such a mild snow winter. Material expenses were high for the salt, sand, and ice melt required, as well as the time necessary for the crews to make the roads safe during off -hours. The Highway sanders spread over 1650 tons of sand, 600 tons of salt, and almost 6500 gallons of ice melt solution. Tree Division The tree division had a very busy year with cut- ting and trimming of trees throughout the town. A very high `number of site distance complaints were taken care of this year. Our tree contractor took down a lot of trees that were dead or dying. Storm Noel caused a tremendous number of limbs to break and fall- many causing safety issues that the Highway crews and Best Tree Services had to address quickly. Most of the trees were taken down because of safety issues. Sweeping While working with Whitten Landscaping, the private contractor who won the sweeping contract bid, all 235 miles of town paved roads were swept as well as 33 town -owned parking lots. The town saved some expense by using the lab -tested and approved street sweepings to construct an earth berm behind the Highway Garage, the future site of a new and much needed salt shed. Plans for a new salt shed were already finalized months before Storm Noel blew the old shed right off its founda- tion. The State is providing funding for this town improvement and we look forward to the new con- struction. The Highway crew has done a tremen- dous job in preparing the land and laying the pip- ing. Building and Grounds Division Under the direction of the Assistant DPW Di- rector and Principal Department Assistants Roby Whitehouse and Toni Parent, the Buildings and Grounds Division consists of the Grounds (formerly Park) and Buildings (formerly Structures) Divisions, and the Cemetery Division. There are many func- tions these three Divisions are responsible for and coordination of labor and resources is essential in the operation of this department along with other DPW Departments. Buildings (formerly Structures) Division The Buildings Division now has two full time employees: Bob Carlson is the Senior Buildings Maintenance Supervisor and Richard Court is the Buildings and Grounds Craftsman II. Together, Bob and Dick have been vigorously working on numer- ous projects throughout the town. During the winter months, both men are also out plowing with the Highway Division, as well as keeping the sidewalks at Town Hall and other build- ings clear and safe. After last year's successful installation of an emergency generator at Town Hall, the Division is now working on the installation of a new emergency generator at the Senior Center on Forest Road. In this time of rising energy costs, the Division has been pro -active in the efficiency of some of our town build- ings. Recently completed in Town. Hall were new window replacements, new thermostats, energy efficient lighting, and insulation. Now that the winter is upon us, the crews are working together with other Divisions and have started a number of interior painting projects. The Buildings Division would like to thank all of the other DPW employees for their help on many of these projects. Cemetery The Cemetery Division is responsible for the care and maintenance of seven Town -owned cemeter- ies. The Cemetery office is situated at the 507 Buck Island Road Highway Garage. The Cemetery Divi- sion sells and records all deed information for all burials or cremations in the town -owned cemeter- ies. The work crew has a steady workload of cut- ting, trimming, fertilizing, and plantings that are on- going. This Division also takes care of most if its 174 own mechanical needs, repairing its lawnmowers and other equipment. During 2007 there were 71 burials in town - owned cemeteries. Included in this figure are 24 cremation burials. There were a total of 48 lots sold this year including one cremation lot, with an addi- tional 29 lots given to United States Veterans at no charge. During slower times, cemetery employees work with other departments on indoor repair and main- tenance projects such as painting and small con- struction. At Ancient Cemetery, a road relocation project led to the building of a stone wall in the back area because so many stones were uncovered dur- ing this activity. The work continues as grave resto- ration uncovers more stones. In the Cemetery Division, Alan Cavanagh stepped down as the Foreman and Adam Hudson was promoted to the Foreman's position. The lat- est Town of Yarmouth Cemetery Handbook is avail- able to all residents and copies are at both the Town Hall and Buck Island Road locations. Grounds (formerly Park) Division This past year was very productive for the Grounds Division. Along with the usual maintenance, repairs and upkeep, the Grounds Division was in- volved in some much needed projects. The work crew had a busy year with the main- tenance of all the beaches and park facilities. They worked seven days a week for ten (10) weeks, kept all the booth attendants on schedule, picked up rubbish once or twice a day, and extended the hours the restrooms were open — all very time consuming and labor intensive for the crew. In the winter months, the Grounds Division em- ployees are involved in working with the Highway Division. The Grounds Division assists with plow- ing and when available, will work on joint projects. The rest of the time is spent doing outside projects such as cutting brush areas around park and recre- ational facilities as well as the reconstruction and repair of docks, life guard stands, and numerous park and recreation signs throughout the Town. This past year the Bass Hole restroom facility was completely redone by both Building and Grounds personnel and the end result was an all new facility at about a 75% savings to the Town. Also at Bass Hole Boardwalk there were new ap- 175 proved railings installed after a recent storm wash- out this past fall. This past year two Grounds Division employ- ees (Chris Myland and Dave Carlson) attended the National Playground Safety Institute and both were certified in playground safety inspections. The CPA Committee awarded the Grounds Di- vision with a $100,000 grant to be used for play- ground equipment replacement. In the near future, the project will be underway, weather permitting. DPW, Waste Management Division Robert B. Angell, Superintendent The Waste Management Division oversees the operation of two facilities, the Yarmouth Disposal Area and Yarmouth -Barnstable Regional Transfer Station (YBRTS). Yarmouth Disposal Area The Disposal Area has three different areas within the facility. First is the Residential Drop -Off Area where the residents dispose of their garbage and recyclables. Second is the Compost Area where leaves, grass and small pruning are deposited so they can be composted on site. Third is the Scale Area where anyone, resident or not, can pay to de- posit such items as construction material, metal items, brush, and residential items with coolants (CFC's and HFC's) in them such as refrigerators and air conditioners. The Swap Shop, : where items can be left for reuse and treasures can be found, had a good sea- son in 2007, with few problems and a lot of satis- fied customers. This facility is run by volunteers and is not operated by the town. With technical assistance from the firm of CDM Inc. (formerly known as Camp, Dresser, and McKee) we oversee the gas collection system, air quality, groundwater and cap of the landfill that was closed in 1997. In April of this year, Yarmouth joined with all of the Cape towns in the "Cape Paper Campaign." The campaign went statewide in November. The towns choose paper for the campaign due to the ease in recycling this material, and that mixed pa- per is recycled in every town. use i lF'teC c.1 Working with an outside firm who screens all of our compost we were able to give around 1500 yards of finished compost to residents. Each year the compost program grows larger due to the enor- mous normous amount of leaves, grass and shrub clippings that come in duringthe'year. The staff waters and turns the compost rows every four to six weeks year round. That is what makes the compost break down and become the rich material that residents enjoy after screening. Over the last several years we have been able to remove a substantial amount of hazardous wastes from our waste'stream with the recycling of mer- cury bearing products; and hazardous waste col- lections, in association with the Yarmouth Board of Health and the Town of Barnstable. The Barnstable Solid Waste Division and the Barnstable County Hazardous Materials Program host four collection events, which Yarmout h Residents can participate in. The collections are held at the Barnstable resi- dential transfer station in Marstons Mills. It is important for residents to understand that everything brought into the facility must at some time be hauled away to another destination, most of which are off Cape. The following list is the vol- umes that were removed in 2007.

The facility operates with 9 full time and 4 part time employees. Yarmouth -Barnstable Regional Transfer Station (YBRTS) YBRTS receives waste from the residential drop- off facilities of the Towns of Yarmouth and Barnstable, as well as commercial waste from all over Barnstable County. This waste is received in a variety of collection vehicles. This facility opened in July of 1991. Until the recent opening of the Bourne Landfill and the area's economic slowdown, the station has seen a slight decrease in tonnage. The YBRTS operates with a staff of 5 full time and 2 part time employees. The facility is open 7 days per week year round with the exception of New Year's Day, July 4"',, Thanksgiv- 176 ing Day, and Christmas Day. During the summer months YBRTS runs expanded hours to better serve its commercial customers. The following is the amount of solid waste in tons YBRTS processed for shipment, primarily by rail, to SEMASS, a waste to energy plant in Roch- ester MA. During 2007 the station shipped 92,864.49 tons, using 1,822 railcars and 394 trucks. This will also be the final year the station will be served by Bay Colony Railroad, of Braintree. Be- ginning in 2008, the state rail line lease will be held by Mass Coastal Railroad. would like to thank my staff at both facilities for their excellent work and commitment to the town and its residents over the past year. They work well together and move an exceptional amount of waste and recyclables every day. I am proud of what they have accomplished. DPW, Water Division Danny J.

We are also committed to creating a satisfying, safe, and productive work en- vironment where a philosophy of win-win is the im- bedded culture. By law, the Water Division staff is on-call 24/7. The staff is there to serve and protect the public. We are a dedicated collection of highly motivated and conscientious individuals proud to be deliver- ing the very basic of ingredients for human life itself — Clean Fresh Water. We would like to offer a most sincere thank you to all Town Departments, Agencies and to the Citi- zens of Yarmouth for their support and assistance during 2007. Additionally, we welcome to the Water Division new hires: John Lang, Water Service Tech- nician III; Jeff Parker, Arthur St. Pierre, and Andy Parent, Water Service Technician II's, and Janice Santos, Department Assistant II. We pumped a total of 1,451.29 million gallons of water to the residents of Yarmouth during the year 2007 as compared to 1;237.85 million gallons for the year 2006. Water production increased during 2007 by 15.2%. That is 213.44 million more gallons than was pumped in 2006. The peak day was on 7/2/2007 when 9,445,675 gallons were pumped. The peak week occurred the 1st week of August when 55.8 million gallons were pumped, and the peak month was July when 232.65 million gallons were pumped. Rainfall measured was 39.75 inches. This amount of rain equates to 17.64 billion gallons of rain on the Town of Yarmouth replenishing our wa- ter supply. -= The Division continues with our many programs; Inspection and testing of backflow devices, Inspec- tion and maintenance of hydrants, Leak detection, and the Water Meter Replacement Program. The Division has embarked on the Pump Station Reha- bilitation Program wherein all the public water sup- ply wells and structures are reconditioned and mod- ernized. Presently the structures and associated equipment have outperformed their useful life ex- pectancy. This program will address the issue. Recycling & Solid Waste Advisory Committee Joseph Sarnosky, Chairman The Recycling and Solid Waste Advisory Com- mittee began the year with preparation of an in depth presentation to the Board of Selectmen regarding the committee's charge to study the feasibility of town -wide curbside collection of solid waste and recyclables. 177 The committee's research and discussions in- cluded current and future policies, cost estimates and financial aspects/overrides, advantages and disadvantages, transitional costs (whether privatized or in-house), possible phases, response to antici- pated questions and positions posed by the public, the SEMASS contract expiration, grow out of the current disposal and recycling facility, traffic and safety issues. A comparison of costs, in-house and private contract, was prepared. The committee met with the Board of Select- men on July 31, 2007. The presentation was well received. As a result, the committee was requested to answer a memo relative to alternative options to alleviate some of the issues discussed at the meet- ing. Also, the committee was requested to prepare a draft ballot question for ApriVMay of 2008 to mea- sure Yarmouth residents' general thoughts, favor- able or not, on a curbside collection program. The committee prepared a draft and is looking forward in the new year to the results garnered from this exercise. The committee continued to monitor the opera- tions at the Disposal Area and Transfer Station. Rob Angell was commended for his continued great job at keeping things running efficiently, keeping up with current regulations and making economical deci- sions. During the year, the committee was notified that Yarmouth is in the top four Cape communities in recycling collection rates. Interestingly, two of the other three communities have a curbside collection program in place. The committee was very involved with the D.E.P. Paper Recycling Campaign. Most members at- tended the several D.E.P. sponsored meetings throughout 2007. The committee supported and initiated a news item in the local publication to sup- port this endeavor. Rob Angell attended the Kick Off meeting in Springfield, where the Cape was com- mended for its continued successful recycling ef- forts. In the spring of 2008, a cape -wide paper shredding event is planned. Tentative plans are for a mid -cape location (Dennis) to have an industrial paper shredder available to Cape residents free of charge to dispose of unwanted papers that need shredding. The committee plans in 2008 to continue and hopefully come to a viable conclusion to the curbside collection study as the Board of Select- men has charged. They will also continue to seek the most efficient use and options for the Town's disposal and recycling facilities and to support the Waste Management policies of the Town of Yarmouth. 178 Respectfully submitted, Joseph R. Sarnosky, Chairman Julie Bender Michael Britz Andrea Adams Rob Angell Barbara Benoit (recording secretary) OTHER COMMITTEES BARNSTABLE COUNTY ASSEMBLY OF DELEGATES The Assembly of Delegates is the legislative branch of Cape Cod Regional Government, known of Barnstable County. Each town located within Barnstable County is duly represented on the As- sembly of Delegates with Delegates elected by the voters in each of the municipalities where they re- side. On Tuesday, November 7, 2006, fifteen Del- egates were elected to serve during the Assembly of Delegates' tenth session for a two-year period. On January 3, 2007 the fifteen Delegates were sworn in by County Clerk, Scott Nickerson. Charlotte B. Striebel (Yarmouth) was elected Speaker, Raymond Gottwald (Harwich) was elected Deputy Speaker, and Diane C. Thompson, not a Delegate, was elected Clerk of the Assembly. The legislative powers of the County are vested in the Assembly of Delegates, and except as pro- vided in the Barnstable County Home Rule Charter, the acts of the Assembly of Delegates are required to be by ordinance. The Assembly of Delegates holds regular meet- ings on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 4:00 p.m. in the Chamber of the Assembly of Delegates, First District Courthouse, Barnstable, MA. A Delegate's vote is a weighted vote based on the 2000 U. S. Decennial Census with Barnstable County having the largest vote of 21.52% and Truro having the smallest vote of 0.94% During 2007 the Assembly of Delegates re- viewed and adopted the Board of County Commissioner's budget for fiscal year 2008. Prior to the end of Fiscal Year 2007, it was projected that the County would end its fiscal year balanced or that there would be a small deficit. This is due to the decrease in activity at the Registry of Deeds. The Fiscal Year 2008 budget was adopted based on the continued projection that revenues at the Registry of Deeds would be at a decreased level because of slow economic conditions in the real estate industry. The Fiscal Year 2008 budget reflects reductions in the budgets of County departments and also reflects decreases or the elimination of funding for grant programs based on the projection that the real estate market would remain flat. The Assembly of Delegates adopted an ordi- nance that revised the timeline for the submission of the County Commissioners' budget and the bud- get process. The Assembly of Delegates rescinded amounts authorized in the Capital Projects Fund as originally appropriated during various fiscal years. An Emergency Ordinance was adopted for a supplemental appropriation for a water quality is- sue that occurred at the Fire Training Academy. A subsequent ordinance was adopted to further the cleanup operation at the Academy. An ordinance was adopted for the purpose of funding the conversion of the gym in the old County jail to a water testing lab for the County Health De- partment. The Assembly of Delegates adopted an ordi- nance that established a Growth Incentive Zone on Route 28 in Yarmouth. This was the second Growth Incentive Zone established in Barnstable County. The first was established in the town of Barnstable. The town of Yarmouth and the Cape Cod Commis- sion collaborated on the ordinance that was adopted. An ordinance was adopted that authorized the County Commissioners to enter into a long-term lease with Gosnold, Inc. for the premises located at 875 County Road, Pocasset, for the purpose of the continued operation of the MICA program. The Assembly of Delegates received testimony from residents about a pending bill to ban all house- hold cleaning products which contain a phospho- rous compound in concentrations in excess of a trace quantity, with certain exceptions, and adopted a resolution to support bill numbered S536. Representatives from the Cape Care Coalition kept the Assembly of Delegates informed about their work during the year, and the Assembly of Delegates adopted a resolution that encouraged the Cape Care Coalition to work with the Commonwealth's Con- nector Board and others as the Cape Care Coali- tion designs a program that provides health care coverage for all. Delegates serve on various Standing Commit- tees. Each Standing Committee reviews certain components of the proposed County budget. Com- mittees examine department budgets, review new 179 programs, and also look at the goals and effective- ness of each program being operated within Barnstable County. A complete list of Ordinances and Resolutions adopted by the Assembly of Delegates is available upon request. The site can be accessed at http:// wwwvsf cape.com/-aofd/. Respectfully submitted, Charlotte B. Striebel Yarmouth Elected Delegate BARNSTABLE MUNICIPAL I, as your representative, attended ten out of twelve Airport Commission meetings this past year. During the meeting I represented Yarmouth's inter- est on a list of important issues such as noise abate- ment, airport safety issues and control of pollution. also participated in the discussions on the pro- posed expansion of the airport terminal. While I am still not a full voting member of the Commission have been allowed to participate in some of the sub- committee work of the Commission members. Some of the specific areas in which I was more deeply involved were: 1. Continue to monitor residential development at aircraft beacon just off 6A near Peterson's market. 181 AIRPORT COMMISSION 2. Continue to be involved in noise study. Re- sults to be determined in 2008. 3. Attended Airport sub -committee concerning environmental issues and follow-up on wa- ter tests at ponds on airport (Upper gate & Lewis) have regularly reported to the Board of Select- men on activities at Barnstable Municipal Airport. My role has been and will continue to be to repre- sent the citizens of the Town of Yarmouth and their interests before the Airport Commission. Respectfully submitted, Robert L. Howard Yarmouth's Representative to - Barnstable Municipal Airport Commission CABLE ADVISORY COMMITTEE The committee works with the Assistant Town Administrator to monitor compliance with the Town's cable license. Our principal function is the negotia- tion of the renewal license and the resolution of prob- lems regarding cable service. The committee works with the Town Administrator's Office and serves as an advisor to the Board of Selectmen when such action is required. The committee has begun the process of the renewal of the existing Cable license with Comcast, which expires in 2009. The process is a permissible three year span, involving ascertainment of Town needs, and negotiation with Comcast regarding those needs, length of contract, and Comcast con- tractual responsibilities. The committee also participated in the success- ful effort to resist a State attempt to deprive local governments of their present right to license Cable suppliers. This included advising the Board of Se- lectmen as to Town action, and an appearance be- fore the Joint Session of House and Senate regard- ing the opposition to the Act. The committee is presently involved with the Community Media Center, our Public Access pro- vider broadcast on Channel 17, in preparing a video program to help educate viewers and clarify the ramifications, rationale, new services, and equip- ment requirements of the impending transition to digital TV, which takes place in February of 2009. 182 Respectfully submitted, Jerry McMahon Chuck Lockhart Robert Edwards Harris Contos Alice Bowen 1 • CAPE LIGHT COMPACT Town of Yarmouth Activities The Cape Light Compact was formed in 1997 following two years of study and votes of town boards of selectmen and town council. It is orga- nized through aformal intergovernmental 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 participat- ing municipality has a representative on the Com- pact Governing Board, which sets policy and works with staff, technical and legal support to advance the Cape Light Compact programs. Power Supply In 2007, the Cape Light Compact (Compact) provided energy to residents and businesses in ac- cordance with a competitive electricity supply con- tract negotiated by the Compact with ConEdison Solutions. Currently, prices are approximately 14% to 15% lower than they were in the beginning of 2006. The Compact continues to work towards stable pricing for consumers in an environment of extreme price volatility. As of December 2007, the Compact had 14,603 electric accounts in the Town of Yarmouth on its energy supply. Over $59,000 in savings were achieved in 2007 for these accounts, when com- pared to the default service price offered by NSTAR. Energy Efficiency From January to October 2007, rebates and other efficiency incentive programs provided to the town by the Compact totaled approximately $204,603 and brought savings to 939 participants of $170,335 or about 851,678 kilowatt-hours of en- ergy saved for 2007. 183 Funding for the energy efficiency programs' (i.e. energy audits for homes and businesses, rebates on the purchase of energy efficient 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: • Retrofitting the lighting in the Yarmouth Town Hall and installing vending misers in Yarmouth Town Buildings under the vending miser sum- mer initiative. • 47 Yarmouth businesses took advantage of financial incentives to install energy saving measures. • 43 Low -Income homes retrofitted to reduce energy usage and increase comfort. • Ongoing renewable energy education through the solar panel at Mattacheese Middle School as part of the Solarize Our Schools program. • Ongoing energy education support to stu- dents, parents, and teachers at Mattacheese Middle School which included an energy fes- tival for all 6th grade students and a LED Holi- day Lights fundraiser for science club par- ticipants. • Three ENERGY STAR® qualified homes were constructed in the Town of Yarmouth. Respectfully submitted, Charlotte B. Striebel, Representative Jack Howard, Alternate ENERGY COMMITTEE History The Energy Committee was formed by the Board of Selectmen in December 2003 with a multi component charge: To advise on policy issues, rec- ommend energy-related initiatives for the Town, educate residents on locally available resource op- tions to protect the environment, improve the en- ergy quality and security for residents, and maxi- mize other public benefits of energy production, con- sumption, and distribution within the Town. The committee membership is comprised of a cross-section of individuals with diverse back- grounds but with a common interest in Yarmouth's energy situation; including former Selectmen and Planning Board members, Cape Light Compact members, an energy project developer, and others with past experience in business ownership, and others with various technical expertise. We accepted with regret the resignation, for personal reasons, of member John Smith Summary During 2007 the Energy Committee focused on completing preparation of a municipal wind energy facilities zoning bylaw, planning for installation of photovoltaic panels on Town Hall, initiation of a fea- sibility study of a wind turbine at the high school, began definition and work on public outreach, con- tinued compilation of electrical energy usage at town facilities, maintained communication with the Com- pact, and provided representation on the Residen- tial Wind Bylaw ad hoc committee. Municipal Wind Energy Facilities Bylaw This bylaw amendment, initially submitted at the September 2006 Special Town Meeting and referred back to the committee for re -submittal, was re- worked substantially to address concerns ex- pressed at the STM and particularly to limit the scope to only cover installations on Town owned lands and to specifically not prohibit other installa- tions that might be allowed either under existing or future zoning bylaws. As a result of careful atten- tion to input from the Planning Board, Board of Ap- peals, Building Commissioner, and Town Counsel, this bylaw amendment was approved at the April 2007 Annual Town Meeting. The committee ac- knowledges with thanks the diligent work of former member Jim Liedell and current members Evelyn Hayes and Brian Braginton-Smith for developing this bylaw to make possible its submittal for Town Meet- ing vote. Town Hall Photocvoltaic Panels At the 2007 Annual Town Meeting a petitioned article was approved authorizing the Town to pro- ceed with the installation of photovoltaic (PV) pan- els atop the roof of Town Hall, with the objective of reducing the cost of electrical energy at that facility. The Energy Committee worked with Peter White, the author of the article, to begin the preparation of specifications and bid documents. After a bid pro- cess a two phase contract was awarded to SolarWrights, a local company. The first phase was completed expeditiously and resulted in Massachu- setts Technology Collaborative (MTC) approval in December of a grant for 50% of the project cost. Consequently, installation work is expected to be- gin during the first week of 2008. (NB - work began January 2). The committee is appreciative of the work of Peter White who brought the article to the ATM, to committee member Steve Gavin for tech- nical leadership, and to DPW Director George Allaire who was and is responsible for seeing the process through to its completion as the Town's representa- tive. Wind Turbine Feasibility Study The Town has been working with the MTC dur- ing the year to determine the feasibility of wind tur- bine installations on land that is zoned for munici- pal use. Among the sites studied and reported on by the MTC were those behind the police head- quarters and school complex off Higgins -Crowell Road, various water department pumping stations, the septage treatment plant, and the land on which the DY High School is situated. Significant study parameters included extrapolating wind resource data from previous studies, proximity to major elec- trical loads, impact of FAA regulations relating to Barnstable Municipal Airport operations, and suit- ability of available turbine designs for each site. The Energy Committee reviewed the MTC study report and judged the DY High School site the opti- mal choice for further study. The Board of Select- men concurred in the decision and upon their di - 184 rection the committee Chair and the DPW Director met with the Town of Dennis Board of Selectmen and then the DY School Committee to present a proposed course of action whose initial step would be to install a meteorological (Met) tower to capture wind data for a year or more. Assuming the data so obtained were found to substantiate it, the process could continue by installation of a wind turbine of sufficient size to offset a significant portion of the electrical load at that site. But, it seemed prudent to the committee to al- low the MTC to perform a more in depth feasibility analysis of available wind resource data at the DY High School site to assure that a Met Tower instal- lation would indeed be a reasonable course of ac- tion. At year's end, this MTC study was underway. The Town is also in the process of identifying the extent to which the School Committee wants to be involved with project responsibilities. The Energy Committee is especially appreciative of the project participation of Superintendent of Schools Carol Woodbury and DPW Director George Allaire. We are hopeful that if the project carries to completion that it will be of significant economic benefit directly to the school system and indirectly to both towns. Public Outreach In order to discharge its responsibility to dis- seminate information to the Town's citizenry to raise its consciousness of practices and methods that will improve efficient use of energy resources, the committee has begun a process of identifying pro- spective ways and means to carry out this task, considering all types of available media including the Town's website, Channels 17 and 18 on the cable network, and printed materials. As a first step an Energy Guide has been drafted, which includes rec- ommendations as well as a list of resources for ad- ditional information, including those available from the Cape Light Compact. Our thanks to committee member Ed Bullock for spearheading this effort. 185 Town Facility Electrical Usage Committee member Charlotte Striebel contin- ues to acquire and compile detailed electrical us- age data on all Town facilities. The committee in- tends to analyze this data to determine the most attractive candidates for in depth study and rec- ommendations for practices and methods aimed at improving energy efficiency. Cape Light Compact Liaison The Energy Committee is fortunate in that two of its members, Charlotte Striebel and Jack Howard, also serve on the Cape Light Compact and thereby are able to provide us with up to date information on Compact activities that impact the Town, and, advise us on the many energy related resources the Compact provides. Residential Wind Bylaw Committee The Chairman represents the Energy Commit- tee on an ad hoc committee formed by the Board of Selectmen to prepare a zoning bylaw covering the installation of wind turbines on residentially zoned properties in the Town. Respectfully submitted, Members Edward Voelker, Chairman Evelyn Hayes, Vice Chairman Jack Howard, Secretary Brian Braginton-Smith Ed Bullock Ken Ford Steve Gavin John Smith (resigned) Charlotte Striebel Consultants George Allaire, DPW Director Peter White GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE During the year, several changes in member- ship were made. George Lingenfelder and James Robertson resigned and new members, Thomas Sullivan and Martin Rivero, were appointed by the Moderator, Thomas George. The Town Administrator was invited to discuss the proposed changes suggested by the commit- tee to improve attendance at Town Meetings. Ap- proved by the Board of Selectmen were a change in the date of the Annual Town Meeting to the last week in April, new larger voting signs, a banner an- nouncing the date of the Annual Town meeting, and information regarding the Town Meeting to run on Channel 18. In April, George Allaire, Director of the DPW, spoke on the status of the wastewater treatment situation. He is the town's representative to the Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative. Representative Cleon Turner addressed the committee regarding Senate Bill #536, which relates to the distribution and sale of household cleaning products containing phosphorous, House Bill #781 relative to regulating the use of dangerous pesti- cides and House Bill #783 relative to adopting a more restrictive policy regarding the use of toxic chemicals. Karen Greene, Director of the Department of Community Development, updated us regarding the Yarmouth Growth Incentive Zone (GIZ) which had been approved by the Cape Cod Commission and passed by Ordinance by the Assembly of Delegates. At our December meeting, we were disap- pointed to learn that the Board of Selectmen had rejected our suggestion for a change in the Annual Town Meeting, and through an article on the STM Warrant were seeking to change the date back to early April. The Committee meets at Town Hall the second Monday of each month at 4:00 PM. We are open to study any suggestions from the public which might be helpful in improving the government of the Town of Yarmouth. 186 Respectfully submitted, John Grebe James Hall John Howard Jessie Mazzur Thomas Murphy Rico Poliseno Martin Rivero Charlotte Striebel Thomas Sullivan HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION The Human Rights Commission established by the Barnstable County Commissioners and the As- sembly of Delegates has filed their annual report. As your Town Representative I present this sum- mary. The HRC was created to eliminate discrimina- tion and human rights violations in Barnstable County and foster an environment of equal oppor- tunity and mutual understanding for all who live, work and visit here. Some of the HRC activities have included par- ticipation in Women's History. Month, the annual assembly of the Cape Cod Council of Churches, the meeting of the Cape Cod Immigrant Center, the 187 Domestic Violence Awareness Month breakfast at Independence House, the Multicultural Festival at Cape Cod Community College, the Black Ministe- rial Alliance of Southeastern Massachusetts, being a judge for the 2007 Rising Stars sponsored by the Cape Cod Times, and many others. One of their finest efforts has been to sponsor the High School Human Rights Academy with all sixteen of the Cape's public and private high school's participating. The HRC supported Dennis -Yarmouth students in their human rights activities such as rais- ing money for the refugees in Darfur and education other students about the genocide that is taking place there. INTEGRATED WATER RESOURCES PLANNING. COMMITTEE The Committee continued to develop a master plan to address Tong -term wastewater issues for Yarmouth including collection systems, pumping stations, vacuum collection stations, treatment plant(s) and treated wastewater(known as effluent) disposal sites. We evaluated a single treatment plant, two treatment plants and five treatment plants as options and found the single plant option is the most cost effective to build and operate. Though we have enough town land to dispose of the amount of ef- fluent required to serve the entire area of town south of Route 6 we have not determined how much of town will require sewers. This decision will not be finalized until we receive the three Massachusetts Estuaries Project (MEP) Reports being developed by the School of Marine Science and Technology (SMAST) at UMASS Dartmouth for the three Yarmouth estuaries; Lewis Bay, Parker River and Bass River. Nitrogen, from your septic systems, is the pollutant of concern since it degrades water quality by clouding the water with algal growth which diffuses the light penetrating the water and results in killing off the light loving eel grass beds which are important incubation areas for both shellfish and finfish. A majority of the nitrogen comes from your septic systems reaching the groundwater and the groundwater eventually discharging into the estu- aries. Developing a plan to remove the nitrogen from the groundwater will involve sewers which will col- lect and transport the waste to a treatment plant where, once treated, a substantial amount of the nitrogen will be removed prior to discharging the treated effluent into the ground. Since even this re- maining nitrogen will eventually find its way to an estuary, we will have to know how much each wa- ter body can handle before we decide where to dis- pose of the effluent. Complicating the matter is the fact that we share Lewis Bay with the Town of Barnstable and the Bass River with the Town of Dennis. Each community contributes nitrogen so each community must coordinate with the other to insure we get the nitrogen under control in a coop- erative manner. The Committee is interested in saving money and finding the most cost effective solution to this nitrogen problem. As a result, we asked the SMAST to use their computer model to conduct flushing studies for both the Bass River at the Railroad Bridge and the Route 28 Bridge over Parkers River to de- termine if modifications at these locations could in- crease flushing of the upper reaches of the estuar- ies and reduce the nitrogen concentrations. SMAST has reported we could reduce nitrogen concentra- tions by 10% with adding very large culverts at the Railroad Bridge on Bass River to essentially double the size of the existing opening. Flushing study re- sults for Parker River have not been received to date but we expect the info in early 2008. This bridge is also important in the redevelopment along Route 28 in the Marina area at the former drive in site, which could also require some modification of the bridge, our plan is to dovetail the bridge work to increase flushing and improve traffic into one project should the numbers prove that this type of work is warranted and decreases the overall cost when compared to sewers. The Committee updated the Board of Select- men on June 12, 2007 and again on December 4, 2007. We have started taping our committee meet- ings and broadcasting them on local cable. We've invited representatives from the Town of Dennis to our meetings. We've coordinated with the Town of Barnstable in our MEP computer modeling runs for Lewis Bay watershed performed by SMAST. We ini- tiated discussions with the Massachusetts Highway Department to alert them that sewers are a distinct possibility along Route 28 as the committee has voted to pursue their installation on Route 28 based on initial MEP results and due to the economic ben- efits. We coordinated our activities with the Growth Incentive Zone approved by the Cape Cod Com- mission for motels along Route 28 and the village centers under discussion by the Economic Devel- opment and Planning Department. The sewer collection system, developed in the master plan, will have a gravity pipeline serving Route 28 due to the significant variability in flow anticipated from the hotels and businesses along the way. A majority of the collection system would be a vacuum type sewer, similar to the system in Provincetown, with some outlying areas on a low pressure sewer system forced on us by the towns topography and cost considerations. Route 28 is 188 however the backbone of the collection system which is where we will have to start when building such a collection system. The significant news to report is the Department of Environmental Protection for Massachusetts re- leased the MEP report for Lewis Bay in September of this year. It is a 186 page document which ex- plains the significant effort and scientific data col- lection made to adjust computer model inputs that not only calibrate the computer model but validates the output. Based on the six scenarios developed jointly by the towns of Barnstable and Yarmouth and run on the computer program, none of the sce- narios satisfied the reduction of nitrogen required to restore the Lewis Bay estuary. One of the sce- narios included a fictitious plan to install sanitary sewers in a significant portion of West Yarmouth to reduce nitrogen input to Lewis Bay and even with this area on sewers the threshold was not met to restore water quality in Lewis Bay. What this told us, even without MEP reports for Parker River and Bass River, is that we are going to be in the sewer business sooner than we imagined. There is some discussion on dredging to increase the flushing of Lewis Bay but this has yet to be determined as cost effective at this time. We will meet in early January of next year with Barnstable officials to further dis- 189 cuss our mutual plans to solve the nitrogen issue in Lewis Bay. We thank our consultant, CDM Inc., with David Young and Robert Musci for their attention to detail and patience in explaining the cost effectiveness of various sewer installation options with an eye to- wards economy.

It is comprised of five members, one of whom is appointed by the Finance Committee. The Board's duties include: 1. Recommending personnel policies, proce- dures and regulations for non-union person- nel; 2. Approving the content and format of all job descriptions subject to collective bargaining where applicable; 3. Acting on requests for changes in pay classi- fications for permanent positions; acting on requests to modify pay rates for seasonal and temporary positions; and 4. Other related duties as assigned by the Board of Selectmen and Town Administrator. A position classification review is the process by which the Town determines the appropriate pay grade for each permanent Town position or job. The process begins with a review of the job description by the employee(s), the supervisor, the department head, the Assistant Town Administrator and the union, if applicable. The Personnel Board then re- views the content of the job description for clarity and consistency with Town practice and conducts a numerical rating of the position using the Town's position rating manual. Often the employee and a supervisor may be present to describe the position and answer any questions the Personnel Board may have. During this year, the Board reviewed twelve po- sitions, some of which took multiple meetings to review. The Board reviewed and acted upon re- quests for increases to pay rates for nineteen sea- sonal and part-time positions. Also, revisions to one section of the Personnel Policy Guidelines were re- viewed and adopted with amendments by the Board this year. Many years ago the Board helped to initiate a series of programs to recognize the efforts and con- tributions of volunteer committee members as well as employees. This year an appreciation breakfast was held at the Senior Center at which each volun- teer received a token gift for his/her contribution. An employee award dinner at which individuals are recognized for their years of service and an ice cream social were held. These programs are in- tended to help maintain the high level of volunteerism the Town continues to benefit from and to renew the dedication of our paid staff. The Per- sonnel Board thanks the volunteers and employ- ees for their continued dedication and service. During the year, the membership changed. Mr. Harding resigned and Joseph Sullivan and Alice Bowen were appointed to the Board. We thank Mr. Harding for his service on the Board. With the ap- pointments of Mr. Sullivan and Ms. Bowen the Per- sonnel Board is now at full membership. Ms. Burkhardt and Mr. Sullivan were elected Chairman and Vice Chairman respectively. The Personnel Board is most appreciative for the staff assistance provided by Peter Johnson - Staub, Assistant Town Administrator, and Pamela Barnes, Administrative Assistant. The Personnel Board meets as needed at 6:00 p.m. at Town Hall. 190 Respectfully submitted, Betty -Jane Burkhardt, Chairman and Finance Committee Representative Joseph Sullivan, Vice Chairman Alice Bowen Bob Harding (resigned) Judy Keith Sharon Ladley TOWN SCHOLARSHIP FUND COMMITTEE Since being appointed by the Yarmouth Board of Selectmen In 1993, the Yarmouth Town Scholar- ship Fund Committee has awarded $227,500 in scholarships to to 322 Yarmouth residents attend- ing college. In June 2007, the committee awarded $12,300 in 21 scholarships of $300, $500 and $700. Recipi- ents were chosen from a field of 33 applicants. Awards went to 7 entering college freshmen, 3 to sophomores, 7 to juniors and 4 to seniors. Scholarships are awarded to Yarmouth residents for undergraduate education and are based on aca- demic achievement, unmet financial need, as well as school and community involvement. Funds for these scholarships are provided by yearly donations from Yarmouth taxpayers who are invited via their property tax and water bills to con- tribute to the fund each year. Funds for scholarships are also provided from income to the Frederick Howes Educational Fund, the Ellen Chase Scholar- ship Fund, and the James Knowles Scholarship Fund. The Board of Selectmen is responsible for ap- pointing the five -member Scholarship Fund Com- mittee comprised of the D -Y superintendent of schools, a Selectmen representative and 3 town residents. 2007 Members of the scholarship com- mittee were Jerry Sullivan -Selectmen Representa- tive, Carol Woodbury, D -Y Superintendent of Schools, and town residents: John Mincielli, Brenda Martinez, and Sandi Femino, Chairperson. 191 CAPE COD REGIONAL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT Cape Cod Regional Technical High School was established in 1973 as a public technical high school that divides student learning time between aca- demic classes and technical training. For our previ- ous school year 2006-2007 we had 686 students enrolled in 18 different technical programs from our sending school district that comprises 12 towns from Mashpee to Provincetown with an operating budget of $11,086,903. William N. Fisher completed his first year as the Superintendent/Director of Cape Cod Tech and he is a 28 -year veteran administrator at Cape Cod Tech. Mr. Leonard Phelan, former Assistant Principal at Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School completed his first year as Principal. Cape Cod Regional Technical High School graduated 127 students in June 2007 and 26 gradu- ated plan on attending 4 -year colleges, 49 gradu- ates plan on attending 2 -year colleges, 41 gradu- ates have obtained jobs upon graduation and 6 have joined the military. Cape Cod Tech has been able to make signifi- cant progress in raising student performance on the MCAS (MA Comprehensive Assessment System) and our school again met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) with the 2006 MACAS exam. In addition to our renewable energy program, the Cape Cod Tech School Committee has ap- proved the lease/purchase of the first tri -genera- tion system for energy saving in a public facility in this country and installation should be completed this fall. The system, once it is in place, will reduce our electric energy consumption by more than 40% and our heating costs by 25-30% each year. This new concept demonstrates Cape Cod Tech's com- mitment to reducing annual energy consumption and that we are doing everything we can to reduce energy costs. Capital improvements for the FY07' included replacement of Cape Cod Tech's gym floor and the renovation of the 4th or our since laborato- ries. Our adult education program had another ex- cellent year under part-time coordinator, Ron Broman, who has made 13 gold, 11 silver, and 4 bronze medals in the district competition, 3 gold, 5 silver and 7 bonze in the State competition, and in the national competition, we brought home a silver medal in Marine Service Technology and placed 5th out of 35 national Wed Design teams. Cape Cod Tech provides money saving projects for our district and community and these projects not only save thousands of dollars, but also pro- vide our students with real life work experience in a supervised setting. For the 2006-2007 school year, the total estimated value of the savings to our send- ing towns from work completed by Cape Tech's technical shops was in excess of $869,000. 192 Respectfully submitted, Evelyn Hayes John H.

Wixon Middle School, and the Ezra H. Baker Elementary School. The filling of these positions allows principals to be more visible in classrooms monitoring student in- struction and providing educational leadership in all areas with an emphasis on achievement and accountability. To further achieve these goals, a mentoring plan is now in place to provide begin- ning teachers or teachers new to the District with a formal support system. As part of the plan to improve student achieve- ment for all grades and sub -groups, an Assistant Director of Instruction was hired allowing more of the data analysis so necessary to target weak ar- eas to be done by the Director of Instruction, with an emphasis on a direct plan for improving student achievement and ultimately MCAS scores in all schools. While we remain constantly aware of our fidu- ciary responsibility to the citizens of Yarmouth and Dennis, we are grateful for the commitment of both towns to provide quality education for all young people. The Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Com- mittee is charged with providing a sound education for all students K-12 as well as additional early child- hood programs. This year, because of the approval of the district budget, both towns are now able to provide full-day kindergarten to all. In addition, the Fine Arts programs in all schools continue to be exemplary, and the Virtual High School in place now provides choices which smaller high schools are not usually able to provide. While MCAS scores and adequate yearly progress mandates show some improvement, teachers and administrators are using data to en- sure weaknesses are addressed. Station Avenue Elementary School and the Nathaniel H. Wixon Middle School have been designated as schools "In Need of Improvement" while Mattacheese Middle School is designated for "Restructuring." A plan to eliminate this designation is being devel- oped. With the approval of the budget in both towns, we were able to hire "deans of students" at Station Avenue Elementary School, Marguerite E.

Woodbury, Superintendent of Schools "What we resolve to do in school only makes sense when considered in the broader context of what the society intends to accomplish through its educational investment in the young." —Jerome S. Bruner, The Culture of Education This quote appears as the opening to a white paper published by The Partnership for 21st Cen- tury Skills. What society intends to have accomplished in schools today is very different from what had to be accomplished when most of us attended school. We continually hear talk about how the world is changing rapidly and how technology is changing the world dramatically. Some statistics noted in the white paper by the Partnership are as follows: "In- formation is doubling every 5.5 years. Technical in- formation is doubling every 2 years. Electronic in- formation doubles every hour." When I think back to my own childhood, with only black and white television, no microwave, no dishwasher, and no computer; in addition to realiz- ing my age, I become conscious of the very differ- ent world my children and the children whose edu- cation I am responsible for live in. It is critical that the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District meet the educational needs of our youth in a healthy, se- cure, and high performing environment. The Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District has had a very successful year. We are well on our way to creating a first-rate educational system that will be the pride of the towns of Dennis and Yarmouth. While there is already much to be proud of, we have taken on several key initiatives this year that will build on the strong foundation that already exists. One of the most important accomplishments of the year was the stabilization of the school environ- ment. Hiring Deans of Students at Station Avenue Elementary School, Ezra H. Baker School, Nathaniel Wixon Middle School, and Marguerite Small School has allowed us to take a more proactive approach to meeting our students' social and emotional needs. Today many children may spend more time alone or with peers than with their families. They may have fewer people to talk to about peer rela- tionships or other problems. Many children come from single -parent homes or homes where parents are working more than one job just to make ends meet. Using these positions to establish a positive and proactive approach to caring for our students' so- cial and emotional needs has created a safer and more secure school environment. This atmosphere is more conducive to learning for all. We are experi- encing fewer serious problems that result in sus- pensions. Since coming to school is strongly corre- lated with increased student achievement, this will also increase our academic success. Through our research we have learned that when young children have a positive connection with an adult at school it can prevent students from dropping out later on. So, while we may not see this impact for some years to come, our actions are based on relevant research. Another major initiative this year is our effort to improve our use of data to make decisions. This may sound rather simple. However, it is a complex process that fundamentally changes the way staff work in collaborative groups to become more ef- fective. We cannot be prepared for complex world change without changes in the delivery of educa- tion. Our students will continue to need a solid foun- dation of content knowledge, but skills such as criti- cal thinking, problem solving, creativity, innovation, communication, collaboration skills, etc. have even greater significance on their long-term success in the labor market, higher education, and their per- sonal lives. Our teacher leaders and administrators are working in teams with all our staff creating a flexible public education system that responds to the changing needs of our youth. As we gain more knowledge about how the brain learns, we intend to adjust our teaching strategies to ensure we reach every child. Our third important initiative was establishing full day kindergarten for all. Every child in the Den- nis -Yarmouth School District attends kindergarten 195 full time. We have begun the process to have our kindergarten program accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. This process is a requirement for accepting state grant funding for kindergarten. This will enhance our kindergarten program by assuring that we are imple- menting "best practices" and not simply expand- ing our time. It is a great opportunity for staff to learn and work together. We thank the citizens of Dennis and Yarmouth for supporting education. We know that only about 12 percent of our population has children in our schools. We appreciate our citizens' recognition of the important role schools play in a town and in the future of our society. As of October 1, 2007 there were 3627 students enrolled in the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District. Similar to other Cape districts, this creates concern around funding. Frequently, the question is asked, "If enrollment is falling, why isn't the bud- get going down?" There are many reasons that the budget is not going down. Primarily, fixed cost in- creases are out pacing our ability to reduce staff. Some of the fixed expenses that we have no con- trol over include: • Increased Health Insurance Costs — This in- cludes the overall percentage increases as well as increased participation. During diffi- cult economic times it is not uncommon to see increases in participation that may be due to a spouse's loss of employment. • Increased Costs of Retirement — The num- ber of people you have on these rolls has a cost impact. • Increased Utility and Heating Costs As student needs expand we are experiencing increased costs for Special Education services. This includes transportation to out -of -district placements and the cost of those placements. We have no con- trol over their increases for tuition. We have created several programs in -district to reduce these costs, but district staff simply cannot meet some distinct types of needs. While our teacher salaries are at state average, they continue to go up. For the kind of services we provide this is the cost of doing business. Our class sizes are good, but are not so small as to be a luxury. When we lose enrollment in a grade level that al- lows us to reduce staff we make those adjustments. Most of the time we have been able to handle this through attrition with retirements. When we consoli- dated the Yarmouth elementary schools, it made it much easier to make such cuts without impact to students. Here is an example to help explain further the budget increases: If the salary budget is $25,000,000 and a 3% raise is given across the board, the increase would be $750,000. If at the same time the enrollment drops by 200 students and we are able to cut 10 teachers, then the sav- ings for the cut would be about $450,000 in sala- ries. So, the salary budget would still increase by $300,000. Thus, the budget doesn't go down. it sim- ply doesn't go up as dramatically. My continued thanks to the citizens of Dennis and Yarmouth for all your help and support. You have created educational opportunities for your children that will lead to success in the future. As your steward, I appreciate the trust you have placed in me to protect and deliver what you hope to "ac- complish through your educational investment." It is an honor to serve these two fine towns. 196 FISCAL AFFAIRS Joseph R Cucinotta, Director of Finance and Operations As the year closes, the Dennis -Yarmouth Re- gional High School renovation continues comple- tion of final items. With the guidance of the building committee, school maintenance department and project manager, we have been able to deliver an outstanding project well under the approved bud- get. In development of the FY08 budget, the School Committee and administrators worked in conjunc- tion with the Finance Committee to develop a strat- egy to meet District fiscal needs. The Towns of Dennis and Yarmouth approved the FY08 Operating Budget of $45,674,385. This 1.6% increase is $719,359 over FY07 budget and required an override of $242,000 in Dennis to sup- port the educational initiatives and goals of the Dis- trict. The Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District is most appreciative of the financial support that was rendered by the Finance Committee and Yarmouth residents. In conclusion, I would like to thank the commu- nity for its support and look forward to working with residents and town officials of Yarmouth in the up- coming year. It is with great pleasure that I submit to the citi- zens of Yarmouth the Annual Report as Director of Finance and Operations. The period of January 1 through December 31, 2007 proved to be challeng- ing and rewarding in the areas of finance and op- erations. During the year, we continued to address needs of our various facilities. The School Committee and administration continued to implement and assess the five (5) year capital budget plan, which addresses the need for short and long term facility objectives and is responsible in keeping school district facili- ties functional, safe and attractive. It has been a goal to fund ongoing maintenance projects for all school buildings. We continue to replace rugs, school furniture and paint classrooms each year. In addition, repairs to our infrastructure have been completed in the following areas: • Laurence C. MacArthur Elementary School: Asbestos removal, generator replacement • M. E. Small Elementary School: Generator re- placement, Handicap Access Ramp • Mattacheese Middle School: Generator re- placement 197 OFFICE OF INSTRUCTION Gloria E. Lemerise, Director of Instruction The Office of Instruction is responsible for the planning and coordination of all aspects of student learning. During the 2006-07 year, the efforts of teachers, principals, and other administrators fo- cused on clarifying curriculum expectations and alignment for the preK-12 grades. Another major goal included increased communication between schools, creating smooth transitions and address- ing the needs of students as they move from one grade range to another. Our Instructional Technol- ogy Coordinator provided graduate credit courses so our teachers learn the most effective uses of tech- nology-based tools, including interactive whiteboards, digital cameras, handheld devices, and web -based resources. These tools are essential for providing the most current information and re- sources necessary for effective instruction for all learners. The District received the Transition to Full -Day Kindergarten Grant in February 2007. The funding from this grant enabled the preK-grade 3 staff to work on standards-based curriculum throughout the spring and summer. This approach builds a strong foundation for all learners as they move through the primary grades. A number of K-6 teachers partici- pated in summer professional development directly connected to math in the elementary grades. The District continues to look at assessment data to improve instruction for all students. Math teachers in grades 7-9 worked together to develop a common assessment for the eighth grade. The teachers evaluated this assessment together and used it as a basis for discussion about transition and class placement for 2007-08. This process pro- vides a rich context for adjusting curriculum expec- tations and focusing on student needs as they leave middle school and attend the regional high school. During August, sixty-five teachers, deans, prin- cipals, and central office administrators participated in three full days of training. The Using Data Initia- tive provided intense training in the use of student achievement data for instructional decision-mak- ing. This process continues throughout 2007-08, building capacity for collaborative planning. Teacher leaders are working with their grade data teams to develop strategies for school improvement and to monitor the results of these efforts. MCAS testing has expanded greatly as well. All students from grades 3 to 8 and grade 10 take com- prehensive exams in English Language Arts and Mathematics. These scores serve as a measure of progress towards the goal of proficiency. The 2007 results show another year of significant gains in grade 10 mathematics. Seventy-two percent of these students scored at proficient and advanced levels. At grades 5, 8, and 9/10, there are also Sci- ence and Technology/Engineering assessments. Students in the class of 2010 will have this exam added to their list of competencies for graduation. As educators in a diverse community, the DY staff prides itself on continuous learning. The staff strives to prepare the students for the challenges of the twenty-first century through on- going professional development and the use of re- search -based practices. 198 PUPIL SERVICES Judith D. Dion, Director of Pupil Services This year the Department's focus has been to increase our capacity to provide for the education of all of our students. To help us in our planning, the Department of Education sent an onsite team from Program Quality Assurances to visit our schools during the week of March 14 -23, 2007. They inter- viewed staff and parents, and reviewed documen- tation in Special Education, Civil Rights Adminis- tration, English Learner Education, and Safe and Drug Free programs. This is part of a six year cycle to insure that districts are complying with the regu- lations and aligning goals to promote student achievement. A follow-up Mid -Cycle review will occur in 2010. The final report from the Department of Educa- tion gave Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Dis- trict three commendations for exemplary practices. The team stated that our initiative, professional learn- ing communities, has had a positive effect on the educational environment of the district. Next, the Team observed the very good support services in- cluding Reading Recovery, Math remediation, Title I, bi-lingual tutorial, academic support, and after school help. Finally, the Team recognized that the social workers in all of our schools, along with the school psychologists, enhanced the service deliv- ery to students and their families. We are very proud of our staff and their work to gain these acknowledgements from the Department of Edu- cation. Most elements throughout the compliance re- view met the requirements of federal and state regu- lations and are fully implemented. There are several areas, however, that we need to address this year. Our corrective action plan, approved in November, can be clustered into several areas. We will improve our documentation methods, and perform formal program evaluations to determine their effective- ness. We will conduct additional professional de- velopment on meeting the needs of diverse learn- ers in the general education classroom; retrain staff on timelines; amend some procedures; and provide additional reading courses. As part of this plan, we will also increase the number of certified English as Second Language teachers and insure that docu- ments are provided to non English speakers in their primary language. The compliance review was an opportunity to acknowledge what DY is doing right and has been helpful in identifying the areas that we need to im- prove.

Jenks, Principal As always, I would like to begin my annual re- port by again thanking the voters of Dennis and Yarmouth for their continued support of our school. Our school's successes are directly related to the support from our communities. The high school's October 2007 enrollment was 1027 students. The graduating class of 2007 illustrates the strength of the high school program. Seventy-nine percent of the class of 2007 planned to attend college: forty- six percent planned to attend a four year college or university and thirty-three percent planned to at- tend a two year college. Many students in the class of 2007 pursued other opportunities: two percent planned to go to a technical school, thirteen per- cent planned to enter the workforce, two percent planned to join the armed services and the remain- der were undecided about their future plans. The students in the class of 2007 collectively received over $240,000 in scholarships and awards. Our stu- dents, faculty and staff appreciate the many gener- ous individuals, organizations and businesses that provided this vital financial support for our students. The high school's faculty and staff are commit- ted to our District's mission of "Empowering Each Student to Achieve Excellence with Integrity in a Changing World." D -Y continues to stress an aca- demic core of English, foreign language, math, sci- ence, and social studies. We currently offer a wide range of courses and programs to our students. We maintain many Advanced Placement and honors level courses for those students who seek the most rigorous academic challenges. Every year, a signifi- cant number of our students complete approved online classes through the Virtual High School pro- gram. We value a well-rounded education for all of our students, and consequently, our graduation re- quirements call for students to complete course work in elective areas: art, computers and technol- ogy, health and physical education, and music. We support career oriented options including work based learning and internships with local busi- nesses. Our students can earn college credit through the Tech Prep program that we operate in conjunc- tion with Cape Cod Community College. D -Y stu- dents can also pursue alternative paths to gradua- tion through participation in our day and evening alternative learning programs. In Tight of the need to prepare our students for an increasingly competi- tive future in the 21s1 century, we intend to strengthen our graduation requirements with additional math and science classes. D -Y's faculty, staff and students have enjoyed a successful year. We continue to meet the state's overall Adequate Yearly Progress goals for MCAS. Our many co -curricular activities provide numerous opportunities for our students. The music program enjoyed success again this year: the band placed third in the USSBA Northern States Championships and the color guard came in first at this same com- petition. Art students continue to be recognized for their talents and our theater group has presented several fine shows. Student government and our service groups continue to donate hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to charities and our communities. Our athletes have set new records; teams have enjoyed winning seasons and the ma- jority of our teams made the tournaments. Last year our Girls Cross Country team earned a state cham- pionship and this school year, our football team had a 10 and 1 record, the best season in decades. D -Y teachers have worked hard, been awarded grants, and they have received recognitions and honors. We are thankful for the support our towns have pro- vided in the past, and we hope both Dennis and Yarmouth will continue to provide the moral and fis- cal support necessary for success in the coming years. 200 MATTACHEESE MIDDLE SCHOOL Emily A. Mezzetti, Principal It is with ongoing pride that I submit to you the annual report for Mattacheese Middle School on behalf of our faculty, staff, parents, and students. We continue to embrace a student -centered phi- losophy as the foundation for professional decision making that consistently positively impacts upon the opportunities we offer for each student's suc- cessful middle school experience. Our student -centered culture includes a well - aligned basic skills curriculum and an outstanding experience in the related arts. Beyond the core cur- riculum offerings, we provide our students enrich- ment opportunities in leadership, community ser- vice, reading, writing, drama, visual arts, foreign lan- guage, technology, vocal and instrumental music, environmental science, and athletics. Our primary goal is to "open doors" for students by exposing them to a myriad of experiences so that they will continue to excel academically while pursuing their co -curricular interests at the high school level. Our secondary goal is to extend the school day for our students to keep them intellectually and physically active in a wonderful learning environment for longer periods of time. Parent involvement, a continued area of focus for us, steadily improves each year. Although differ- ent in form from our own past school experiences, it is critical to our students' success. More parents now share in our PTO -sponsored initiatives, while communication advances through technology have allowed us improved proactive interaction with par- 201 ents as we collaborate on behalf of our students. The Mattacheese School Council, comprised of parents, a community representative, and faculty members, collaborates monthly to develop the an- nual School Improvement Plan. Our ongoing enhancements have positively im- pacted upon our "Adequate Yearly Progress" as measured by the Massachusetts Department of Education. We continue to improve not only in the aggregate of all students but in the many evaluated subgroups as well. We continue to work on build- ing and district initiatives so that in the very near future we can meet "AYP" in every subject for every subgroup measured. These initiatives include in- creased instructional opportunities in identified ar- eas of need for all students as well as individualized tutoring for students with identified skill gaps in mathematics. The faculty and staff of Mattacheese are highly dedicated to our school's continuing enhancements to an already strong culture. I would like to publicly recognize and thank them for their daily efforts. On behalf of the entire Mattacheese commu- nity, we thank the staff of our district's administra- tion office as well as the district's grounds and main- tenance departments. We are grateful for the dedi- cation of our school committee members and the commitment of the town's elected officials in their support of our school. Most importantly, we thank our students and their parents for continued sup- port of Mattacheese Middle School. NATHANIEL H. WIXON MIDDLE SCHOOL Lisa A. McMahon and M. Catherine Wollak, Co -Principals Nathaniel H. Wixon Middle School continues to make steady progress through the collaborative ef- forts of students, parents, community members, teachers and staff. This fall we welcomed 511 stu- dents in grades four through eight. Wixon Middle School provides a rigorous aca- demic program and a student -centered social cur- riculum. Students explore and gain skills in reading and writing, mathematics, social studies, science, art, music, physical education, health, and technol- ogy. Students in grades 6-8 choose a foreign lan- guage, Spanish or French. Students in grades five through eight may also choose to participate in our instrumental music, chorus and strings programs. Wixon students have a wide range of after school programs to choose including after school academic support provided by. Wixon staff; enrichment op- portunities through programs such as Great Books, Destination Imagination, Math Club, French Club, Spanish Club and a variety of seasonal activities and interscholastic athletics. Our teachers value continuous learning and regularly engage in professional development in the form of coursework and workshops. During the year, NHW staff expanded their knowledge and skills in many areas including a focus on differentiated in- struction and data collection/analysis through grade level team meetings. Staff members work together in a mode of continuous improvement to ensure the best learning experiences for our students. Wixon Middle School appreciates strong sup- port from the school community and from our sur- rounding business community. The NHW School Council provides guidance and initiative to improve our school. The Council membership includes the school principals, Lisa McMahon and M. Catherine Wollak, teacher representatives, Angela Persechino, Linda Shrake, Janine Silvia and Kim Sullivan; par- ent representatives, Sue Gierej, Francine Long, Tish Murphy, Paula Peden and Denise Wilfong. The Par- ent Teacher Advisory Council supports many edu- cational and enrichment programs including the af- ter school activity program, field trips for all students, and cultural enrichment presentations. We are grate- ful to the PTAC members and their officers: Francine Long, President; Tina Labossiere, Secretary; and, Terry Bunce, Treasurer. We deeply appreciate the support and service of the D -Y school system and Dennis officials including the Dennis Police Depart- ment, and Fire Department. More specifically, the work of the Dennis SRO and Yarmouth SRA(N) to develop and implement our "Lock Down Proce- dures." This year NHW students and staff were recog- nized for their community service and their accom- plishments. NHW students made significant contri- butions to others through many programs includ- ing the Andrea Holden Road Race, the Mittens and More Program, the Dress a Living Doll Program and the food drive. HOPE students were honored by the Cape to Cape Partnership for their donation. In addition, NHW students were honored for their con- tributions to local writing contests, and community service projects. Here at Wixon Middle School, Laura Jasie, a 6th grade teacher, received a grant from the Dennis -Yarmouth Education Foundation to support an African Culture presentation. One teacher, Margaret O'Leary, retired in 2007 after many years of dedicated service to the chil- dren of Dennis. We wish her well in this new chap- ter of her life. As always, we thank the good citizens of Den- nis for their continued support and commitment to our school and our students. 202 EZRA H. BAKER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Kevin tiepin, Principal It is with great pride that I submit this report on the progress at the Ezra H. Baker School. This year, when our school opened in September, we greeted 400 students in grades kindergarten through three. We offer an integrated early childhood program for an additional 30 three and four year olds in our town. Our school is home to the Special Education Alter- native Learning Site (SEALS) Program. This program is designed to educate young children with signifi- cant health challenges. The Special Early Educa- tion/K indergarten (SPEEK) Program, which provides a preschool and kindergarten experience for chil- dren diagnosed with autism, is thriving in its sec- ond year. This year we welcomed the Specialized Teaching Alternative Room (STAR) to our school. This program works in conjunction with the SPEEK program and continues to meet the educational needs of children diagnosed with autism in grades 1-3. Our daycare includes children up through fifth grade, and has nearly ninety children enrolled in ei- ther before or after school care. In the spring of 2007, three very dedicated teachers – Marylou Sanker, Judith Still, and Dale Hoppen-decided to retire after years of service to the children of our town. In the fall, they were joined by a fourth, Mrs. Maggie Donovan. Each of these women added tremendously to the fabric of our school community. Their professional expertise, their love of children, and their dedication will certainly be missed. In the spring of 2007, Miss Prue Pope, the voice of our front office for more than 33 years, also retired. Miss Pope's vitality and energy had set the tone for our school for all of her tenure as our front office secretary. As a way to honor her longstanding contribution to our school and our community, the conference room at the Baker School was renamed the Prue Pope Conference Room. Our students continue to thrive! We endeavor to create exciting ways, both during and outside of the traditional school day, to further student learn- ing in all areas. This year we enrolled 100 students in our full day kindergarten program, which no longer requires a tuition payment for any family. We insti- tuted a parttime Dean of Students position to our school. This is an administrative level position that deals primarily with student discipline. Last year our School Council surveyed families about enrichment and after school activities. Using the results of the survey, we were able to institute our most popular round of after-school activities to date. Each activ- ity, though highly engaging, offered opportunities for our young students to practice their academic skills. In the summer of 2007, we offered a summer learning "camp," which helped students keep their learning skills sharp. As always, we are fortunate to receive tremen- dous support from our parent group, PTAC, and from the Dennis community. With the continued support from the Town Departments and the citizens of Den- nis, our 76th year serving the students of Dennis will be our best yet. 203 LAWRENCE C. MacARTHUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Peter J. Crowell, Principal It is a privilege to submit this Annual Report for the Laurence C. MacArthur Elementary School (LCM). Our October 1, 2007 enrollment reflected a total of 243 students in Grades K-3. Eight of these students come to LCM as school choice from neigh- boring towns. LCM has a total of 12 classrooms for grades K-3 having added a third section of full day kindergarten for the 2007-2008 school year. In ad- dition, we continue to have three classrooms each of grades 1, 2, and 3. Our class sizes currently range from 18-22 students. Our integrated Early Educa- tion (Pre -K) program for children aged 3-5 years old has an average enrollment of 30 between the two half day sessions. Our flagpole and school sign have been replaced as we work to keep up with the chal- lenges of maintaining our 57 year old facility. June 2007 marked the retirement of Donna Chapman after 43 years of service, Janet Colby after 24 years of service, and Jane Fogg after 21 years of service to the children of the DYRSD. We appreciate and value their many contributions to the LCM commu- nity! We also said goodbye to Cheryl Warren, Lisa Lawson, Kathleen Giorgio, Barbara McWilliams and Danielle Corbett. We have welcomed Justine Filosa- Wills, Kathy Nastri, Mary Gogol, Meg Sprague, Vickie Cahalane, Jen Hudock, Sonja Bono, Mary Beth Olson, Erin Starkey and Barbara Fountaine. Our academic and social curriculums are de- signed to provide each child with the opportunity to thrive and learn.`LCM's dedicated staff maintains high expectations and works together to plan in- struction that helps children successfully learn and grow. LCM conducted its first MCAS assessment with Grade 3 here in the spring of 2007. As part of a district initiative for using data to inform instruction, we now have a team of teacher leaders who are leading grade level professional learning communi- ties. Staff regularly collaborates to analyze data from assessments, identify areas in need of improvement and implement instructional strategies as a result. To build our sense of community, we hold All School Meetings once a month. We were also the recipi- ents of a grant to fund Second Step, a program for building positive social interactions for the 2007- 2008 school year. Some of our special events of the past year have included community guest read- ers, our Memorial and Veterans' Day assemblies and our first farewell ceremony and bush planting for Grade 3 students in June. Strong support from our parent community and the larger Yarmouth community greatly benefit LCM. Our hard working PTO led by Rene Pecoraro, Alyson Taubert and Carrie Rodericks coordinate our well attended events such as Pizza Night, the Book Fair, Holiday Craft Fair, and Movie Night to fund educa- tional programs and field trips which enrich our school community. In addition, they have met the needs of teachers through a Wish List program. We welcome a significant number of volunteers weekly from parents, Elder Services and DYRHS. Their in- teractions enhance student experiences in the school. In addition we thank our Yarmouth Police and Fire Departments for presenting important safety programs for children. Our LCM School Council meets monthly and is responsible for writing our school improvement plan and as an advisory group for initiatives to improve our school. Current members of our school council are Peter Crowell, Jane Tucker, Linda Cornog, John French, Alyson Taubert, Jocelyn Howard, Liz Novak and Jim Peters. Finally, on behalf of the entire LCM community, would like to thank the good citizens of Yarmouth for their support of LCM, the place Where Excel- lence Begins. 204 MARGUERITE E. SMALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Carole A. Eichner, Principal It is a privilege to submit this annual town report for Marguerite E. Small Elementary School (MES). MES is our town's 4th and 5th grade school. Ac- cording to the October 1, 2007 enrollment report, MES has a total of 360 students and 65 staff mem- bers. Currently, ten children attend MES as School Choice students from neighboring communities. We currently have nine sections of 4th grade, and nine sections of 5th grade. MES proudly hosts the district's SAIL Program for Developmentally Dis- abled students, and offers a variety of support ser- vices to students with unique learning styles and needs. Our entire staff at MES is highly committed to improved student achievement, school safety, and parent /community partnerships. MES hosts a strong music program. Seventy- four percent (74%) of our students are involved in our band, chorus or orchestra. MES offers a variety of after school activities and enrichment opportuni- ties including four Destination Imagination teams. Affordable daycare is also offered to our students outside the regular school day hours. Before school daycare is offered on campus and afternoon daycare is available for our students at the two other Yarmouth elementary schools. We welcomed new members to our MES team this year. Ken Girouard is our Dean of Students. Sh- annon Feeney, Erinn Mackey, Ursula Coute and Erin Eno have filled teacher vacancies. Mette Andre, Gerry Maloney, Usa Sheehan, Jennifer Smigielski and Kelly Sullivan have joined our team of parapro- fessionals, and also replace staff members who have moved on to other positions. MES has an active and resourceful Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). PTO Officers are: Suzanne Menard, President; Dawn -Marie Flett, Vice President; Michelle Dunn, Secretary; Peggy McNamara and Kym Cooper, Co -Treasurers; Jen Slovak, Cultural Enrichment Coordinator and Laurie Karras and Beth Hollister, Volunteer Coordinators. All parents are welcome to participate in the monthly PTO meetings and activities. The MES School Council also meets monthly and develops School Improvement goals, oversees the school budget, and makes recommendations to improve our school for all. School Council members are: Carole Eichner, Jen Slovak, Peggy McNamara, Gary Rupnow, Bev Burton, Dawn -Marie Flett, Pauline Bartley and Joe Bernier. Each year, the Yarmouth Fire and Police Depart- ments support our students and staff members with a number of safety programs. We appreciate their efforts and the support from the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committee and all our Yarmouth community volunteers. It is through our collabora- tion that Marguerite E. Small Elementary School remains the place where "every child is engaged in active learning." Please check out our web site at: http://www.dy-regional.k12.ma.us/mes/ to keep up to date on school news and events. 205 STATION AVENUE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Lisa M. Whelan, M. Ed., Principal It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I sub- mit this Annual Report of the Station Avenue El- ementary School. Our school has experienced many new changes, with a new principal, new school dean, as well as many new teacher faces at our K- 3 building. This fall we welcomed approximately 440 students in kindergarten through third grade. I have been quite impressed with the amount of profes- sionalism, experience, and commitment that the Dennis -Yarmouth School District gives to the stu- dents of our system. Our team of teachers at Sta- tion Avenue has worked endlessly to support and enrich one another with the experiences that we have and share. Building a team of professionals to support the educational well being of our students is our #1 goal. Station Avenue was fortunate to receive the Bay State/John Silber Reading Initiative Grant. This grant has again assisted in changing and improving our literacy program. As a result of this grant, we have a scientifically researched -based reading anthology by the Houghton Mifflin Company. The support of this grant also provides various professional devel- opment opportunities for our staff. Learning is an ongoing process at Station Avenue. Additionally, we were able to continue our con- tract with IDEAL Associates to assist with the de- velopment of reading interventions. Our on-site grant coordinator and consulting teacher of reading, Dianne O'Connell, has played an intricate role in developing and facilitating the literacy program at Station Avenue Elementary. With the support of the Dennis -Yarmouth School District, we are fortunate to have three team lead- ers and a school dean at our school this year. This team has worked to facilitate and support the prin- cipal with the data inquiry process. Our vision at Station Avenue Elementary School is to use data and assessments to drive the instruction that we do in our classrooms. By having team leaders, these leaders facilitate grade level meetings and support teachers with the process. Our school dean, Mr. Steven McDonough, has been an invaluable and supportive person to our entire school community. He works closely with the staff and principal of the school to instill positive values and role modeling each day. The Station Avenue School appreciates strong support from the school community and from our surrounding business community. The SAE School Council provides guidance and initiative to help improve our school. This council membership in- cludes teacher representatives Patricia McArthur, Charlene Carey, Steven McDonough, and Nancy Stewart; and parent representatives Mrs. Christina Carey, Ms. Patty Chadwick, Mrs. Laurie Simonian; and our community representative, Mrs. Barbara Adams, a long-time Kindergarten teacher. We are extremely grateful to the PTO members and their officers for their service to our school community. Our PTO officers are Susan Colgan, Jeanne Campbell, Serena Tierney, Tina Andre, Lisa Cunningham and Kendra Johnson. We deeply appreciate the support and services of the D -Y school system as well as those provided by other Town of Yarmouth agencies, including the Yarmouth Police Department, Fire Department and the Recreation Department. Additionally, the Yarmouth Rotary Club has also been a supportive organization to our students. After 34 years with our district, Principal Randall Wallin, has retired. I would like to wish him and the following SAE teachers a happy and well-deserved retirement after their many years of valued service: Elaine Lavallee, Nancy Stewart, and Melissa Valen- tine. We will truly miss their professionalism, loyalty and experience that they have brought to students each and every day. All of our successes as a school would not be possible without the support and efforts of our elected School Committee members who continue to volunteer their time and are dedicated to our edu- cational mission for the children of the Dennis Yarmouth Schools. 206 FOOD SERVICE Garth J. Petracca, Food Service Coordinator The first year with the implementation of the Wellness Policy was challenging in that food prod- ucts that are better nutritionally are typically more expensive. By all accounts, the Dennis -Yarmouth Food Service Program is a shining example of how a school 'system can provide healthy and appetiz- ing food to its students at a reasonable price. We remain a department that is financially self-support- ing and will continue to strive to keep this intact. The Food Service Program served an average of 2500 meals per day with an average yearly par- ticipation rate of 72 percent. Nearly 62 percent of the student population is participating in this pro- gram and 37 percent of these participants are ap- proved for free or reduced lunch. It is vital, not only to the food service program but the entire school system in general, that everyone who thinks they might qualify for free or reduced meals complete and submit an application. Payroll made up 52 percent of the food service budget for the fiscal year 2007 while food purchases accounted for 47 percent. The remaining 1 percent of the expenditures is made up of office supplies, government commodities, and equipment mainte- nance. The Food Service Program is committed to con- tinuing the practice of reimbursing the general fund for a portion of its benefit program cost by transfer- ring $50,000.00 yearly to this fund. All of us who work in the Food Service Program have a strong commitment to the students of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District. We want them to be excited about what they eat, healthy because they participate in the program, and com- pletely satisfied with their eating experience. We en- courage student and parent involvement in the pro- gram and welcome comments and suggestions. TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT Lory Stewart, Director of Instructional Technology D. Chris Machado, Director of Technology The Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District Technology Department provides services to all schools and the Central Office. Ross Bryant and John Tiedeman, Technology Maintenance Special- ists, maintain the 1700+ computers and peripher- als. They both work in all eight buildings trouble- shooting and repairing the technology. In most cases the turn around time for a work order is within 24 hours. They completed over 2000 work orders dur- ing the year. Administrative Assistant Jan Daniels maintains the help desk in the Technology Department Of- fices located in Mattacheese Middle School. In ad- dition, she maintains the computer inventory, soft- ware and peripherals, purchasing and data process- ing supplies, as well as managing the work order system. During the FY07 school year, Jan's hours were increased to accommodate the expanded need for her services during the summer months. Jan also volunteers her time to the district re -cy- cling cell phones and ink cartridges. We used the money this year to purchase digital cameras for the schools along with photo printers and supplies. Chris Machado, Director of Technology, ensures that our Wide Area Network is kept up and running and the Internet and E-mail are accessible. Mr. Machado also configures and negotiates all hard- ware purchases, works with school administrative assistants to maintain the integrity of our SIMS data, and maintains all the district's administrative data- bases. In addition, he upgrades and maintains the student information and financial software used by the district on the administrative level. Lary Stewart, Director of Instructional Technol- ogy, mentors teachers in technology integration into the curriculum, keeps current on emerging technolo- gies, offers district -wide professional development for all staff including the delivery of graduate level courses, works with administrators and staff on the analysis of MCAS results, writes grants for federal and state funds, files E -Rate, orients new teacher on the use of our network, files the District Technol- ogy Plan with the Massachusetts Department of Education, and maintains and updates the district's website(http://www.dy-regional.k12.ma.us). The department was especially busy this year 207 with the finishing of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School Renovation Project. Thanks to the Se- lectmen from both the towns of Dennis and Yarmouth, the High School Building Committee and the School Committee, $1,050,000.00 was allocated for technology acquisitions for the school. The high school received a new workstation for each teacher, administrator and support staff, five new computer labs, 40 computers for the library, 96 laptops on eight rolling carts and numerous new printers. The network was upgraded with new hardwiring for faster connection speed to the Internet and Local Area Network along with four new servers for net- working and file sharing. In addition, instructional technology was acquired—forty-eight interactive whiteboards, an lcd projector and sound system for every classroom, digital microscopes for the science department, graphing calculator emulators for display on the interactive whiteboards in all math classrooms, video broadcasting equipment, digital video cameras and supporting software for media classes and an upgrade of the Microsoft® Office Suite. Also, the auditorium received major audio and video upgrade, as well as Room 114 as a seminar room for group presentations by guest speakers. Grant funds were used to purchase digital cam- eras for all grade five teachers along with training for teachers to use them with their students to en- hance the Seashore visit by being able to return to the classroom to re -live the experience with digital images. We continue the purchase of interactive whiteboards. Grant funds were used to purchase boards and Math software aligned with the Massa- chusetts Curriculum Frameworks for our middle school math teachers to use with their students. The district offered three graduate level courses to instruct teachers in the use of the educational technology available to them. Approximately 75 teachers participated in these courses. Currently all of our schools have websites. Most offer online homework help for students, school calendars, newsletters and various resources for staff, students and parents. In all schools, the per- son who maintains the individual school's website does so voluntarily. The DYRSD Technology Department strives to meet the needs of the students, staff and adminis- tration. We look forward to serving the district again this year. DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE The renovation project at the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School is nearing completion. At this time, major construction in all phases is completed and the punch list items are finished. A final audit will be conducted on the project. This committee was fortunate to have the right combination of people on the renovation team. The Administration, Architect, Building Committee, Gen- eral Contractor and Project manager have worked together effectively for our communities to complete this project. The staff, faculty and student body of D -Y have been very understanding about the disruption that has occurred over the several years of this project and have been a big part of our success. With the support of both towns, some of the items that were initially eliminated were reinstated in the project. The District also has conducted a commissioning project on some of the mechanical equipment, which will assist in finding and correct- ing current and future problems with those systems. It is gratifying to submit this status report on a successful municipal project. I am proud to report that this project finished under budget and was only four months behind schedule. In summary, we wish to thank both towns for their continued support of the project. 208 Respectfully submitted, Robert Tucker, Chairman Jay O'Leary, Vice Chairman Thomas Broadrick James Dykeman Robert Harding Mal Hughes Edmund Kling Phillip Monis Bernie Young DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL Employees and Salaries Paid in 2007 Name Abrahamson, Katharine A Adams, Alison J Adams, Mary E Adams, Philip A Aiken, Alison L Ainsworth, Edward C Alden, Jennifer A Allanbrook, Geoffrey A Allen, Brian R Almonte, Diane C Almonte, Jody -Lyn Aftneu, Warren B Ames, Heidi M Amorosi, Mary E Anagnostakos, Deborah A Anarino, Susan M Anderson, Ariel J Anderson, Autumn A Anderson, Egan N Anderson, Gina E Anderson, Keith C Anderson, Maureen F Anderson, Patricia D Andrade, Elizabeth S Andre, Mette S Andre, Tina L Andreassian, Helen E Angelo, Nicole L Anthony, Laird P Antonuzzo, John R Archambault, Johanna N Arden, Christine E Arledge, Candee A Armstrong, Alyson Arone, Patricia Arrascue, Heather Arsenault, Bemard E Arseneaux, Maria Ashworth, Nancy A Attaway, James N Atterstrom, Susan E Atwater, Jocelyn A Atwell, Kristy J Auciello, Justin A Baacke, Shawna Babb, Charles E Bader, Elizabeth Bagge, Robert J Bailey, Amanda Baker, Beverly J Baker, Dewey E Baker, Lorraine M Baker, Rick A Balboni, Sarah B Baldassarri, Henry C Banks, Edlow P Position Assistant Teacher Assistant Shift Leader Cook Coach Assistant Teacher Teacher Substitute Administrative Assistant II Teacher Teacher Nurse Administrative Assistant 1 Teacher Substitute Assistant Coach Assistant Coach Librarian Teacher Assistant Assistant Teacher Substitute Substitute Substitute Teacher Assistant Substitute Assistant Teacher Teacher Early Literacy Specialist Teacher Assistant Teacher Substitute Speech Pathologist Accounts Payable Clerk School Psychologist Teacher Assistant Substitute Teacher Bus Driver - Summer Assistant Bus Driver - Summer Assistant After School Activities Instructor Teacher Substitute Substitute Substitute 209 ala $5,950.14 $56,359.64 $11,929.80 $37,988.23 $6,515.14 $3,813.0 $15,892.81 $49,006.79 $44,774.60 $4,633.36 $35,646.00 $63,608.98 $63,578.95 $60,149.17 $22,315.36 $63,578.95 $528.31 $6,474.04 $2,511.00 $3,290.09 $4,669.00 $44,374.60 $60,149.17 $4,435.20 $5,924.10 $26,782.04 $65.00 $1,755.60 $1,964.84 $52,649.98 $3,158.59 $532.01 $19,139.02 $40,871.54 $21,290.82 $2,710.00 $61,952.55 $21,668.92 $68,833.99 $1,820.00 $14,343.47 $30,671.46 $35,156.20 $40,021.72 $14,989.29 $214.49 $68,833.99 $1,855.88 $4,423.61 $822.42 $8,864.10 $218.64 $69,233.94 $130.00 $130.00 $715.00 Other Wages $1,214.57 $4,136.65 $6,398.03 $1;802.20 $20.00 $3,467.00 $2,344.95 $2,570.85 $1,438.29 $1,737.91 $145.00 $28.78 $1,613.00 $3,593.10 $1,472.72 $7,000.00 $112.92 $219.46 $1,400.00 $1,730.29 $437.50 $1,489.76 $5,698.53 $1,300.00 $1,902.03 Name Position Salary .
