ANNUAL
REPORT
Proposed New "Lodge Building" at Flax Pond Recreation Area
Over the past twenty-four summers, the Flax Pond Adventure Program has provided
thousands of local children an affordable, safe and fun full-day activity program. The
program has evolved over the years and includes a live animal center, science and nature
studies, camping skills, trails, water sports, a variety of games, archery, arts & crafts and
overnights.
7 original structures were designed and built primarily in the early 1960's. Architectural
studies have concluded that these buildings have outlived their usefulness and need to be
replaced. The roofs are leaking, the footings are sinking and the electrical panels are at
capacity. They can not be salvaged. All of the septic systems have been filled in and the
camp depends on port -a -johns to meet health code for sanitary facilities. It is time to raze
the old and create multi -use facilities to meet the needs of future generations.
With assistance from Barnstable County grant writers, the Town of Yarmouth has
received a Grant from the MA Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs of
$500,000 to support this project. This grant requires $500,000 in matching funds from
the Town to be raised by June 2010. To facilitate these fund raising efforts, the Town has
partnered with Community Visions Inc., a local 501c 3
Please visit our blog at www.flaxpondyarmouth.org and read more about this project, the
progress we are making and how you can help. All donations, cash or in-kind, great and
small, are greatly appreciated and needed. Thank you for your continued support for the
Yarmouth Recreation Division.

Town of Yarmouth
For the Year 2009
The 2009 Annual Report is Dedicated to
United States Marine Corporal
Nicholas George Xiarhos
February 12, 1988 — July 23, 2009
Proud American—Fallen Hero Native Son
United States Marine Corps Corporal Nicholas George Xiarhos, 21, died of wounds suffered
during combat operations in Afghanistan's Helmand Province while supporting Operation
Enduring Freedom on July 23, 2009. Nicholas was severely wounded by a roadside bomb. He
fought courageously for his life before finally succumbing to his wounds despite the gallant
effort of those treating him.
Nicholas was born on February 12, 1988 in Hyannis, Massachusetts. He is the first child and first
son of Yarmouth Police Lieutenant Steven G. Xiarhos and wife Lisa Xiarhos of Yarmouth Port.
His siblings are Alexander, 20 and his twin sisters Ashlynne and Elizabeth, 16.
Nicholas attended Yarmouth schools and played Yarmouth Little League baseball with the
Athletics. In 2005, he completed the Massachusetts State Police Junior Troopers Academy with
honors. In June 2006, he graduated from Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School, where he was
selected to be a Student Ambassador and played baseball and football with the DY Dolphins. His
family, friends, teachers, and coaches remember him as a kind-hearted, selfless person who went
out of his way to help others. He was affectionately nicknamed "The Mayor of DY" due to his
outgoing personality, popularity and ability to get along with everyone. In their senior year, his
classmates presented him with the title "Does Most for Others." Nicholas enjoyed music —
particularly hard rock, playing video games, driving his Jeep, and especially spending time with
his family and friends.
Nicholas had an enduring passion about serving his Country and joining the military, which was
heightened by the events of September 11, 2001. Nine days after graduating from high school, he
entered the United States Marine Corps Boot Camp at Parris Island in South Carolina, where he
was selected to be a Squad Leader. On September 22, 2006, he earned the title of United States
Marine. In 2008, Nicholas entered his first tour of duty in Iraq's Anbar province as a member of
the historic 1st Battalion 9th Marine Regiment (1/9), known as "The Walking Dead". 1/9 was
3
responsible for all security missions in that area and was divided into Police Transition Teams
(PTT) that worked directly with Iraqi Police.
The lives of Nicholas and 49 other Marines and Iraqi Police Officers were saved in April 2008
when Marine Corporal Jonathan Yale of 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines (2/8) and Lance Corporal
Jordan Haerter of 1/9 stood in the path of a suicide bomber's truck and prevented it from
entering the Marine outpost in Ramadi, Iraq. The two Marines gave their lives for the "Fortunate
Fifty". Nicholas and his family were honored to attend the special ceremony at the National
Museum of the Marine Corps where Jonathan's and Jordan's sacrifices were recognized by the
presentation of the Navy Cross Award for Valor, the highest award given by the Navy, to their
families.
Nicholas rose conventionally from Private First Class to Lance Corporal and in March 2009 he
was meritoriously promoted to Corporal. When he learned that fellow Marine and DY classmate
Corporal Andrew Coville of Yarmouth Port was deployed for battle in Afghanistan, Nicholas left
1/9 to fight alongside Andrew — and to honorthe battalions of Jordan and Jonathan.
Nicholas personally met President Obama at Camp Lejeune in 2009 when the President gave a
speech to the thousands of Marines preparing to deploy for war in Afghanistan with the historic
10,000 member Marine Expeditionary Brigade as a renewed offensive against Taliban
insurgents. President Obama spoke of great sacrifices, stating, in part,
"Each of you has your own story. And that story is now part of the history of the United States of
America — a nation that exists only because free men and women have bled for it from the
beaches of Normandy to the deserts of Anbar; from the mountains of Korea to the streets of
Kandahar. You teach us that the price of freedom is great. Your sacrifice should challenge all of
us — every single American - to ask what we can do to be better citizens."
At the time of his death on July 23, 2009, Nicholas was an Infantry Assaultman Shoulder
Launched Multi -Purpose Assault Weapon (SMAW) Gunner, Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW)
Gunner and Squad Leader of Weapons Company with 2nd Battalion 8th Marine Regiment (2/8)
known as "America's Battalion" based at Camp Lejune, North Carolina.
During his 3 years of service Corporal Xiarhos earned a Meritorious Mast Award for
Outstanding Performance, Good Conduct Medal, Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal,
National Defense Medal, Iraqi Campaign Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, Sea Service
Deployment Ribbon, Combat Action Ribbon, Naval Unit Citation, and was awarded the Purple
Heart posthumously.
Nicholas was a peacemaker who chose to make a difference and protect people in need all over
the world. When he last spoke with his mother two weeks prior to his death, his last words were,
"Don't worry about me Mom... I'm Living the Dream."

ADMINISTRATION
BOARD OF SELECTMEN
Your Board of Selectmen have spent most of calendar year 2009 working on budget issues and
coping with the financial recession which all of us in government and the community have been
facing. Throughout the annual budgeting process which ended in May and the Special Town
Meeting in September we were faced with a continued reduction of State support as well as
reductions in Local Receipts caused by the recession. We have been coping with these major
problems by working with the Town Administrator, Department Heads and Division Heads to
attempt to craft a lower budget and lower expectations of service as we continue to reduce
expenditures even in critical Town functions.
Even these very difficult times the Board of Selectmen has been working on and have seen
significant steps forward for the Town. A priority of the Selectmen has been to work with the
Building Department, Community Development Department and the Health Department to
change the operation of some motels along Route 28. Enforcement actions have been taken to
ensure that motels are acting as motels and not substandard permanent housing for residents. The
strides which have been made by all the Departments have, we believe, turned the situation
around and through the adopting of Rules, Regulations and Bylaws at Town Meeting the Town is
providing opportunities for owners of these properties to convert them into decent housing
and/or return as viable motels in the community. The Hampton Inn was completed as part of the
Route 28 Growth Incentive Zone program which took over a year to develop with active
participation with members of the Board of Selectmen, the Planning Board and the Community
Development Department. The grand opening of the hotel was a wonderful moment for all of us
as we start to see major investments and improvements in Route 28.
We do send our sympathies to the Darling Family with the untimely passing of Mr. Frederick
Darling who was the leader of the Darling Family in developing the Hampton Inn in Yarmouth.
His leadership provided the spark which has started the improvements along Route 28. The
South Shore Drive Growth Incentives Zone which was adopted at the Annual Town Meeting in
2009 will play a large part in our future redevelopment of this important recreation area. The
potential investment which will be made in this area will hopefully continue the revitalization of
our tourist industry and provide the Town with funds to support the services which we need to
provide to our year-round residents and guests.
The Board of Selectmen have also been working with the Cape Cod Commission and the
Planning Board and the Community Development Department on updating our Comprehensive
Plan so that it may be certified by the Commission and monitor the Growth Incentive Zones to
ensure they meet the requirements set by the County and Town Meeting. We also recently
received a check for $65,000 from the Lewis Bay Improvement Association to start to tackle the
pollution problems in Lewis Bay and improve the water quality in this vital recreational and
residential area. The cooperation of citizens and government is shown in this project. The Town
joined the Cape & Vineyard Electric Co -Operative after a Town Meeting vote and a series of
hearings. Our membership in this group is in opportunity for us to develop alternative energy
sources and to save tax payers money. We look forward to working together with this group and
our Energy Committee in 2010 to make these improvements.
We reinstated our Volunteer Appreciation Day. Through the hard work of Selectmen Jerry
Sullivan in cooperation with the Yarmouth Chamber of Commerce an Appreciation Breakfast
was put on at the Yarmouth Senior Center at no out-of-pocket cost for the Town through
significant donations by the business community to honor the over 350 residents of our Town
who volunteer their time and talents to improve the community. All members of the Board of
11
Selectmen attended the Appreciation Breakfast and expressed their support personally to those
who attended.
I would also like to acknowledge the work done by the Yarmouth Library Board as well the
Yarmouth Port Library as we separated Yarmouth Port Library from the Town Library system.
The Yarmouth Port Library has a long and proud history of providing excellent Library services
to residents of Yarmouth Port. The Board of Selectmen supported this change in operations
which we believe has helped the Yarmouth library system, of which Yarmouth Port is still a
partner while providing the residents of Yarmouth Port with their own tailored library services.
As part of our report I would like to acknowledge the work done by Selectmen Bill Marasco as
he rotated off the Board this past May. Dr. Marasco had served as Selectmen for 6 years prior to
his last election culminating in a total of 9 years of service to the community. We thank Bill for
his efforts on behalf of the Town. I would also like to welcome our newest Selectmen Erik
Tolley to the Board. Erik has provided new insights and energy as a Selectman to our Board.
Erik has taken on the liaison position with the D -Y Schools and continues to make suggestions as
to how we can improve our services to citizens. I also welcome back Suzanne McAuliffe who
was re-elected this past year. Her continued service to the Town is greatly appreciated especially
her participation at the State level with the Massachusetts Municipal Association and at the
County level through her dedication of time at Cape Cod Commission hearing, legislative
hearings, and with the Barnstable County Selectmen & Councilors Association of which she was
President this past year. I would also like to thank and acknowledge the work of the Town
Administrator and the Assistant Town Administrator and the leadership they have provided in
steering the Town through these very difficult economic times. They along with the excellent
work by our Department Heads and other employees continue to put Yarmouth in a leadership
role in providing outstanding services in a very difficult economic climate.
The Board of Selectmen look forward to continuing our efforts to revitalize business in
Yarmouth in 2010. We have a very positive working relationship with the Yarmouth Area
Chamber of Commerce and our partnership has resulted in, as I have previous stated, the Growth
Incentive Zones and developing policies which will benefit the business communities as well as
the residents of our community. It is our hope that in 2010 we can stabilize our financial
condition, look at opportunities to improve the finances of the Town along with dedicating
ourselves to new procedures which will increase the effectiveness of our delivery of services to
you the residents of our community.
Respectfully submitted,

FINANCE COMMITTEE
The Yarmouth Finance Committee would like to thank Town Administrator Robert Lawton,
Assistant Town Administrator Peter Johnson -Staub and all Department Heads for their assistance
in creating a budget that continues to show innovation, creativity and efficiency in an ever more
fiscally challenging environment.
2009 turned out to be an extremely interesting and challenging year in terms of Town finances.
The economy on all levels continued to decline and our own budget was not immune to the
things going on Statewide or Nationally. When we began our budget process we asked all
Department Heads to reduce their budgets by 4%. This was based on an already reduced budget
from 2008. The reductions we made were painful ones but ones that we had no other choice in
making. Some of our Town Employees again this year took unpaid furloughs to help with the
budget situation. We experienced multiple reductions in State Aid, an increase in the assessment
from Cape Cod Tech and an increase in the assessment from DYRSD. We saw our Stabilization
account reduced by over $1.5 million dollars. These monies were used to offset some of the
reductions in State Aid that impacted the Town.
The Legislature in an attempt to help with the reduction in Local Aid passed legislation which
would allow local municipalities to increase the meals and hotel/motel rooms' tax. This was on
top of the increase in Sales Tax that they implemented Statewide. After much deliberation it was
decided to delay a formal vote on these taxes until the spring 2010 Annual Meeting. We were
concerned that had we adopted this in 2009 we would have put our businesses at a competitive
disadvantage to our neighboring Towns.
We would like to express a sincere thank you to all of our municipal employees who recognized
the financial hardship that we are in and worked with us to come up with a workable solution. In
May, the Town was successful in passing an override for our Police and Fire Departments. This
override, $550,000, allowed us to keep our Police Force at their current reduced staffing level.
In working with the Fire Union the Town was able to negotiate a contract which not only
allowed them to fully staff Station 2 but also reopen our new Station 3 which we had to close due
to budget cuts in 2008.
As we look toward the future and the current economic climate, we realize that the next couple
of years are going to be very challenging for the Town. We are likely going to see a continued
decline in State Aid which will have negative impact on our budget. The Finance Committee will
continue to work hard with the Board of Selectmen, the Town Administrator's office, and the
Department Heads to ensure that our limited resources are used in the most cost effective
way while recommending budget and service cuts that will have the least impact on services
provided to the Town, all while keeping us within Proposition 2 1/2 limits.
In closing, we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Mr. John Henderson for his years
of service to the Town of Yarmouth on the Finance Committee. John was appointed by the
Board of Selectmen mid year to fill a vacancy on the School Committee. If you have any
suggestions or questions for the Finance Committee please do not hesitate to contact us through
the Town Administrator's Office.

CAPITAL BUDGET COMMITTEE
Composed of seven volunteer members appointed by the Finance Committee, the Capital Budget
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 years 2010
through 2019. It includes all capital projects funded from borrowing, free cash, enterprise funds,
fire reserves, Community Preservation Act, grants, and other funding sources. Staff support is
provided by the Assistant Town Administrator, Peter Johnson -Staub.
COMMITTEE METHODOLOGY AND FY2010 HIGHLIGHTS
The Committee met regularly from September 30th through March to discuss the requests and to
adjust the spending plan as more information was received regarding the budget outlook for
FY2010. Individual Committee members also met with Town staff, school representatives, and
made numerous site visits. Follow-up meetings and presentations were conducted with
Department staff, as appropriate. The Committee presented preliminary recommendations to the
Finance Committee and the Town Administrator on November 20, 2008 and has provided
several updates since that time as new information became available.
For several years, this Committee has expressed concern that the amount spent on equipment
replacement and infrastructure maintenance is insufficient. For 20 years, capital improvements
from available funds (appropriated under Article 6) have been funded at the same level --
approximately 1 million dollars. Faced with another budget shortfall for 2009, the Town
Administrator and Finance Committee recommended only $314,300 for capital improvements
from a combination of General Fund available funds (i.e. Free Cash) and the Stabilization Fund.
A separate Article was approved at the Annual Town Meeting to authorize $371,000 in
borrowing subject to a Prop. 2 '/2 debt exclusion but it was rejected by the voters at the General
Election. This rate of investment in capital improvements represents an historic low.
The Capital Budget Committee recommended the following four debt exclusions (i.e. borrowing
exempt from the Prop. 2 1/2 Levy Limit) all of which were approved by Town Meeting but failed
to achieve a majority vote on the General Election ballot and thus were not funded:
■ Capital Equipment and Facilities - $371,000: This is effectively a supplement to Article
6. In past years, these types of projects would have been paid for from Free Cash. With
the cash capital spending (i.e. non -borrowed funds) reduced to $314,300, this borrowing
is recommended to address some of the most critical priorities that should not be
deferred. If approved, the property tax increase for a $300,000 home would have been
approximately $4 per year for 5 years.
• Flax Pond Building Design - $87,000: The Recreation Director is working with the
Recreation Commission and other volunteers to raise private funds for recreation facility
improvements at Flax Pond and Sandy Pond that were identified in a master plan
completed in 2008. The $87,000 will be used to obtain professional designs for a
replacement of the main building used to operate the Flax Pond summer day camp
program. These designs are needed to attract private donors who will want to know
exactly how their donations will be used. If approved, the property tax increase for a
$300,000 home would have been approximately $1 per year for 5 years.
• Run Pond Wetland Restoration - $1,493,000: This funding represents a 35% match for a
grant the Town is seeking from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In order to secure the
$2.7 million grant, the Town needs to pay for design and permitting which are estimated
19
to cost $175,000. The balance of the $1,493,000 will not be borrowed or spent unless the
grant is received. The project will replace the culvert under the Bass River Beach parking
lot to increase flushing and improve the health of tidal pond which is located adjacent to a
residential neighborhood and lodging establishments as well as the beach. The
Committee voted 3 - 2 to recommend approval of this debt exclusion. If approved, this
debt exclusion will have no tax impact in FY2010. If approved the property tax increase
for a $300,000 home would have been approximately $8 per year for 15 years.
■ Natural Resources Facility Renovation/Relocation - $322,900: This project was deferred
for over a year while the Town considered possible relocation options. The steel exterior
of the existing facility is rusting badly resulting in leaks and moisture, and combined with
inadequate air handling, make for poor working conditions. The original request for
renovations, site work and a garage was $482,900. The Selectmen reduced the request to
$322,900. If approved, the property tax increase for a $300,000 home would have been
approximately $1.80 per year for 15 years.
LONGER TERM OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
In 1986, the Town spent $917,826 from available funds on recurring capital improvements such
as equipment replacement, building maintenance and road maintenance. Each year thereafter, the
Town spent at least $1 million until last year. If capital spending had been adjusted for inflation
from 1986 to 2009, we would be spending $1,776,973 from available funds. The amount
approved for these recurring capital needs under Article 6 represents an 82% reduction in
spending from 1986 after adjusting for inflation. This severely reduced level of annual
investment in infrastructure maintenance and equipment replacement proposed for the coming
year is not sustainable for the long-term. Unless we find a way to increase annual capital
spending, the Town of Yarmouth will experience one or more of the following outcomes:
equipment failures resulting in reduced productivity and delayed services response; inability to
repair equipment due to an aging vehicle fleet and reduced operating budgets; deteriorating road
and facility conditions. We look forward to working with the Finance Committee and the Board
of Selectmen to address the considerable challenges that lie ahead.
A one-page summary of the capital improvement plan appears on the following page and further
information is available on the Committee page of the Town website (www.yarmouth.ma.us).
Citizens with suggestions or questions regarding this capital improvement plan can contact the
Capital Budget Committee through the Assistant Town Administrator (pstaub(a yarmouth.ma.us)

TOWN ADMINISTRATOR
2009 has proven to be one of the most difficult financial years for the Town of Yarmouth. Town
budgets were reduced by approximately 4% prior to the Annual Town Meeting in May of 2009
and then the Recession continued and Local Receipts and State Receipts were substantially
lowered. The Special Town Meeting in the fall of 2009 further reduced all Town budgets which
have resulted in lower level of services, fewer employees and our reserves being depleted. The
employees, Department Heads and the numerous Boards and Committees are all pulling together
to cope with this severe financial condition we all are experiencing. You can be assured that the
employees of the Town are sensitive to the financial conditions in the community which is why
we have continued to reduce budgets rather than in 2009 asking for significant overrides.
Some items we have started to act on to save money include the solar panels on Town Hall and
other buildings which have saved approx. 20% of our energy bill on buildings where the solar
panels have been installed. Our Streetlight Reduction Program has been instituted but only effect
those lights which did not meet the Selectmen's criteria set in 2005. Major roads will continue to
have lights as well as intersections and at dangerous curves. We are also reaching a final
agreement for the sale of the John Simpkins School which will be turned into a Affordable
Elderly Housing by a company who has completed three other similar renovation projects within
the State of Massachusetts. The building will be preserved, taxes will be paid on the building and
there will be improvements in the surrounding area which will benefit all the residents of the
Town of Yarmouth. Some of the improvements are parking for the ball fields in the area,
improving one ball field on the John Simpkins Field as well as an upgrade to part of the structure
which will allow some use by Town groups for meetings. The Affordable Housing Trust has also
been very busy in providing affordable housing to our residents. In just over one year the Trust
has been able to purchase and resell 5 homes to Yarmouth Residents. Using funds from the
Community Preservation Act, the Affordable Housing Trust has been able to place Yarmouth
residents in homes so that those citizens can continue to provide services and work in our
community.
We have been able to welcome two new employees into the Town. One is Fire Chief Michael
Walker who has come to us from Pelham, NH. Chief Walker was selected after a lengthy process
including several interviews and discussions. We are very pleased that Chief Walker chose to
accept our offer and he has already brought new thinking and ideas to the Fire Department which
we believe will be reflected in the continuing high level of service to the residents of our
community. Our office was able to attract Elizabeth Hartsgrove to be the Administrative
Secretary/Assistant to the Town Administrator. Elizabeth brings experience in both
Provincetown and Wellfleet, a Bachelor's Degree and a wealth of experience which has already
shown in her work in our office.
Some other items of note in 2009 were the work by the Memorial Day Committee which resulted
in a wonderful celebration and recognition of Veterans in Yarmouth. I wanted to thank Brian
Carey and Victoria Copenhaver for their work in the past on this important celebration. Brain
Carey, the newest member of the Committee had some great ideas and pulled a lot of people
together for the 2009 Celebration. Other work that has started in 2009 but has yet to be
completed include the plan for Route 28 improvements which include our sewer studies,
updating Route 28 with discussions regarding sidewalks and some turning lanes. There will be
hearings on this particular issue over the next several months in 2010 so that a consensus can be
reached on what Route 28 should look like as we implement our Growth Incentive Zones and
other improvements for businesses in this important area of our Community. The Recreation
division is working hard on Flax Pond improvements and in 2009 did receive an over $500,000
22
grant that must be matched with donated funds in order to revitalize this important recreation
area in Town. Our office and the Community Development Office are working to see if we can
complete all of the tasks to be designated as a Green Community. Such designation would open
up new grant opportunities for energy improvements. There are five areas which we must
change, such as zoning, energy use policies, vehicle acquisitions and permitting. We are looking
carefully at the benefits and impacts of such actions before we take a final step. We also started
to face our Stormwater issues which are being driven by State and Federal Laws requiring the
Town to make road improvements but without any funding from either the State or the Federal
Government. While we agree with the purpose of the Legislation and the end result it is not
possible during these very difficult financial times to be able to either borrow or raise the
necessary millions of dollars to comply with all of the Federal and State laws which are being
imposed upon us in this area. The other projects which are still pending are the completion of the
Packet Landing Improvements. Now that the drainage has been completed we will attempt to
start construction of the Cellar House building which was funding through CPC funds and finish
the landscaping of the area under our prior State Grant. We are also awaiting State Legislative
action to approve our proposal to have a private concern finalize permitting, construct the
Parker's Marina and operate it. That project has been years in the making but we do see some
hope that significant progress in finalizing the design and starting construction within the next
four years.
I would like to draw attention to the dedication of the 2009 Town Report to Corporal Nicholas
Xiarhos. There was an unprecedented show of support for the Xiarhos Family and for our
military when everyone in Town came to honor Nicholas Xiarhos as he returned to his family
and to our community. It was a very sad and emotional day but also uplifting in the outpouring
of community support for the family.
I would also, in closing, like to express my appreciation to the Board of Selectmen for their
support over the past year in the projects we have proposed and in the support of all of our
employees during these very difficult economic times. The Finance Committee also deserves our
appreciation for their difficult task of reviewing all of the budgets and making recommendations
to Town Meeting which were unpleasant during 2009. They made their recommendations with
an understanding of the work which needs to be done by the Town even in these difficult
economic times. Special Thanks also go to Assistant Town Administrator and Community
Services Director Peter Johnson -Staub for managing the Divisions under him in an outstanding
matter to make the budget adjustments that were necessary while maintaining a high level of
service to the public. Also special thanks go to Maggie Paluch, my former Administrative
Assistant who left us near the start of the Calendar year and to the excellent work of Elizabeth
Hartsgrove and Pam Barnes in keeping our office running and providing outstanding service to
the residents of our Community. We look forward to 2010 with some trepidation and also hope.
The financial difficulties the Town has faced in 2009 will continue in 2010. The State of
Massachusetts will not be supporting municipalities at the level they had in the past and we must
cope with the continuing reduction in State funding. We are looking at methods to stabilize the
Town's income and to continue to improve the efficiencies of all our Town Departments through
the innovation of our line employees, our Department Heads and Division Heads I believe that
working with the business community and our citizen committees we will be able to bring forth
ideas and programs which will not only stabilize the Town financially but also allow us to grow
in areas which support our citizens.

TOWN RECORDS
TOWN CLERK AND BOARD OF REGISTRARS
The Town Clerk's office continues to be the focal point of Town Hall activity concerning the
information provided to customers. 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 processed a significant number of passports, a service we have been
providing since 1998.
The Clerk's Office had three elections this year and two Town Meetings, Annual Town Meeting
was held on May 4, 2009, Annual Town Election held on May 12, 2009, Special Town Meeting
held on September 29, 2009, the Old King's Highway Election held on November 24, 2009
Special State Primary was held on December 8, 2009.
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 2010 Federal Census will be in the mail starting around mid March, it is very important to
fill out this form and return it as soon as possible. It is important that we get everyone counted
because it affects our Congressional Districts and any funds or grants that we receive from the
Federal Government.
The Clerk's Office continues to computerize many of its functions. This enables us to serve our
customers more quickly and efficiently.

There was a slight decrease in the Town's population in 2009. There were 160 fewer residents
which is a change of less then 1% over last year. There was a decrease in the number of active
voters by 291, which is more than 1% during the year 2009.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all Department Heads, elected officials, election
workers, Town employees, and especially my staff for their efforts and co-operation in making
the year a successful one for our office.
Respectfully submitted,
Jane E. Hibbert, CMC/CMMC

ARTICLE 15: To see if the town will vote to make the following changes to the Zoning Bylaw
in order to define how building height is measured and defined:

203.4.1 In all zoning districts, building height shall not exceed that which is outlined in Section
203.4.2 Table of Maximum Building Height. No building, except as outlined in Section 404,
shall contain more than three stories, except that the building height for motels that are not
subject to the provisions of Section 404 shall not exceed thirty (30) feet or contain more than two
61
stories. In buildings intended solely for single-family residential use, a third story above grade
may occur in a habitable attic. In no other buildings will a third story be allowed to be habitable,
except in buildings to which Section 404 applies. Platforms, lofts and other structures
constructed to provide a surface higher than the floor of the second story in any except single-
family residential buildings and buildings to which section 404 applies, shall not be habitable.
Building height shall be measured from the street side of a structure. When a structure
faces on more than one street the height shall be measured from the average of the grade of each
street front. Where the grade at other faces of the building is lower than that of the street side,
the height of the building above the lowest grade shall not exceed the allowable height by more
than ten (10) feet. This will not affect the restrictions described above for building height as
measured from the front of the building along average grade. Height limitations shall not apply
to chimneys, spires, cupolas, antennas, or other similar structures not intended for human
occupancy.
2. Add a new Section 203.4.2 Table of Maximum Building Height, as follows:

BOARD OF APPEALS
The Board of Appeals operates under the Yarmouth Zoning Bylaw as well as the Massachusetts
General Laws Chapters 40A and 40B (a copy of the Zoning Bylaw is available online at the
Town=s web site, www.yarmouth.ma.us). The responsibilities of the Board of Appeals are to
hear and decide petitions for Special Permits and Variances from the terms of the Bylaw, and
also Appeals from the decision of the Building Inspector, as well as applications for
Comprehensive Permits for affordable housing developments. The Board consists of five regular
members (appointed for staggered five year terms), plus alternate members (appointed for one
year terms), all of whom are volunteers appointed by the Selectmen. The Board is scheduled to
meet on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month, at 7:00 p.m. The public is always
welcome to attend the hearings. The Boards meetings are broadcast live on Channel 18, the
Public Access Television Station, and re -broadcast periodically throughout the week, and now
available on the web at www.yarmouth.ma.us
The Zoning Administrators 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 and Mr. Joseph Sarnosky and Mrs. Diane Moudouris.
The Board welcomed Steven DeYoung as it new Chairman, and Sean Igoe as Vice -Chairman.
After over 20 years of service to the Town of Yarmouth, and the Board of Appeals, David Reid
graciously accepted an alternate appointment to the Board. The Board also welcomed two new
Alternates, Robert Howard and Bryant Palmer.
During the year 2009 the Board of Appeals heard a total of 62 applications. Of these, 48 were
granted (in whole or in part) while 4 were denied, 9 were withdrawn and 1 is pending. Among
some of the projects approved by the Board were the approval of the municipal recreation park at
the former 1750 House in West Yarmouth, the approval for the removal of the former Mill Hill
Club in West Yarmouth to make way for two new commercial structures, and approval of the
raze and replacement of the old Friendly's Restaurant with a new CVS.
I wish to thank our Regular and Alternate members, and our Office Administrator Rhonda
LaFrance, for their dedicated and conscientious service to 'the Town throughout the year.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
The Department of Community Development is responsible for overseeing the Town's long-
range planning efforts, economic development, affordable housing and historic preservation
initiatives as well as administering programmatic funding that is utilized to enhance the overall
quality of life within the Town. The Department of Community Development also provides
support to a number of regulatory boards and advisory committees that are responsible for
regulating and shaping the Town's commercial and residential development and redevelopment.
During 2009, we were fortunate to see the implementation and passage of important zoning
initiatives that will encourage investment and redevelopment within the community. In April
2009, the Hampton Inn and Suites opened its doors for business, providing Cape visitors with the
first new hotel in 20 years. This project, a result of zoning changes for motels along Route 28
and a Cape Cod Commission Growth Incentive Zone, will provide the Town with additional
revenues via increased property taxes, increased rooms tax revenue, and consumer spending.
The development of the Hampton Inn has served as a catalyst for other investment along Route
28 and we've seen a good deal of reinvestment in other lodging facilities and restaurants since
the Hampton Inn opened for business.
In May 2009, the Town adopted changes to zoning for motel properties along South Shore Drive.
These changes will permit the redevelopment of the Town's waterfront lodging industry. Local
property owners have already demonstrated their interest in taking advantage of these changes
and are actively working with Town and Cape Cod Commission staff to begin the permit
process. The investment that will result from the zoning changes will significantly improve
Yarmouth's waterfront lodging and will provide the Town with a competitive advantage over
other Cape communities.
Building on the zoning successes above, the Planning Board, Community and Economic
Development Committee (CEDC) and staff from the Town and the Cape Cod Commission,
engaged a land -use planning consultant to conduct a market analysis of Route 28 and to
recommend a strategy for targeting Town efforts at a specific area. The consultant's
recommendation is being reviewed and explored further by the Planning Board, CEDC and
Town and Commission Staff.
Over the past year, the Department continued to work on a variety of affordable housing issues
including updating the Town's inventory, monitoring resale of affordable homes, working with
parties interested in developing affordable housing in Town, and assisting Yarmouth residents
acquire affordable housing. In May 2009, Town Meeting adopted important zoning changes that
provide increased opportunities for the development of affordable housing. Staff also provided
support to the Community Housing Committee as well as the Affordable Housing Trust and the
Yarmouth Housing Authority, working to secure and utilize grant funds (including through the
motel pre -development fund program) to help further affordable housing planning and
development efforts.
On a day-to-day basis, Community Development Staff continued to support the Community
Preservation Committee and to administer and monitor Community Preservation Funds,
overseeing and monitoring grants previously awarded. In addition, staff drafted or assisted in the
drafting of important grant applications to preserve the Town's historic properties. In addition,
progress was made in utilizing already -approved funding for the Taylor -Fray Farm farmhouse.
Working with volunteers from Taylor -Bray Farm Preservation Association, interior demolition
was performed providing a better understanding of the building's structural deficits. A single
116
purpose committee has been appointed and is actively working to rehabilitate this important
component of Yarmouth's history.
Staff continued to administer the Town's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program, distributing grants to provide loans for . septic rehabilitation, septic pumping, blight
removal, public facility accessibility, meals on wheels, and affordable housing. CDBG funding
must benefit low- and moderate -income households or persons.
Staff continued to provide support to the Planning 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 definitive subdivision plans. Staff
also worked with the Planning Board in the preparation of zoning articles for the Annual and
Special Town Meetings.
Finally, Town staff is working with the Cape Cod Commission, the Planning Board, other Town
staff and relevant boards and committees to prepare the Town's Local Comprehensive Plan
(LCP) for consideration by the Commission under the 2009 Regional Policy Plan.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the volunteers that comprise the many Boards and
Committees that are staffed through the Department of Community Developments and all its
divisions. I would also like to thank my staff that consistently strives to provide the Town with
high quality work and the best possible service.

PLANNING BOARD
The Planning Board had another very busy and productive year in 2009. Officers of the Board
were: Tracy Post, Chairman; Curt Sears, Vice -Chairman; and Thomas Roche, Clerk. After
many years of dedicated service to the community, Brad Goodwin left the Board in January. His
duties as Clerk were passed on to Mr. Roche. Steve DeYoung left the Board in February to serve
as a full member of the Board of Appeals. Erik Tolley, a former Planning Board member from
2003 — 2006 who had returned, to the Board in November 2008, left to take up the duties of
Selectman in May. Full membership was achieved with the appointments of Chris Vincent, John
Shea and Tom DiPersio in February and Ken Driscoll in July.
In the 2009 calendar year, the Planning Board held 17 business meetings, 15 workshops and 5
public hearings. The Board acted on 2 Approval Not Required (ANR) plans, creating 3 new lots,
1 preliminary subdivision plan and 1 Special Permit. 1 project was reviewed under the Zoning
Bylaw's Revitalization Overlay Architectural (R.O.A.D.) provisions. The Planning Board held 1
informal zoning public hearing, 1 formal public hearing, and presented 5 zoning articles at the
Annual Town Meeting in May, 2009 and made recommendations on 5 other zoning articles.
Board members also attended various training sessions and met with other Town Boards and
Committees on items of mutual interest and concern. Planning Board members served on other
Town Committees and worked for other community groups as well. Mr. Goodwin served on the
Capital Budget Committee, the Marina Committee, and the Integrated Water Resource
Protection Committee. Mr. Roche served as the Board's representative to the Community
Preservation Committee (CPC), as an Alternate on the Board of Appeals, on the Design
Standards ad hoc and on an ad hoc inclusionary zoning study committee. Mr. Sears also served
117
on the Capital Budget Committee, on the Marina Committee, as a Regular member (and
chairman) of the Community Preservation Committee, and the Sign Code Update Ad Hoc
Committee. Ms Post served as the Board's representative on the Community and Economic
Development Committee (CEDC) and on an Ad Hoc Inclusionary Zoning Study Committee.
Mr. DeYoung served as an Alternate on the Board of Appeals and the Sign Code Update Ad Hoc
Committee. Mr. Tolley served as the Board's representative on the Community Housing
Committee (CHC) and on an Ad Hoc Inclusionary Zoning Study Committee. Mr. DiPersio
worked on the Design Standards Ad Hoc Committee and the Integrated Water Resource
Protection Committee. Mr. Vincent served on a Residential Wind Energy Ad Hoc Committee.
The Board thanks staff for their assistance and looks forward to another busy year.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST
The Yarmouth Affordable Housing Trust (a municipal entity) was established in fall 2007,
pursuant to a Town Meeting Vote as provided for by the Municipal Affordable Housing Trust
Fund Bill, Chapter 491 of the Acts of 2004 (MGL c. 44 Sec 55C). The purpose of the Trust, by
statute, is to provide for the creation and preservation of affordable housing in municipalities for
the benefit of low and moderate income households. For Yarmouth specifically, the Trust looks
to take advantage of the flexibility inherent in a Housing Trust by creating and funding housing
opportunities that need action more quickly than a yearly Community Preservation Grant Cycle
may allow. The Yarmouth Affordable Housing Trust is comprised of the Town Administrator,
Robert C. Lawton, Jr., a Board of Selectmen representative, James P. Hoben, a representative
from the Community Housing Committee, Alan Aarons and an at large member, Curt F. Sears,
Jr. Bailey Boyd Associates serves as consultant to the Trust. The Trust, although relatively new,
has already had significant success. Successes include:
• Work on Yarmouth's Housing Production Plan (HPP) — this plan details Yarmouth's
proactive "roadmap" for planning and developing affordable housing to meet state
affordable housing goals (10% of year-round housing stock listed on the Department of
Housing and Community Development (DHCD) Subsidized Housing Inventory).
Housing Production Plans must include elements outlined in DHCD Regulations (760
CMR 56.03(4)), and must be approved by the Planning Board, the Board of Selectmen
and DHCD. Yarmouth's HPP is currently pending DHCD approval;
■ Partnering with HECH (Harwich Ecumenical Council for the Homeless) — program with
HECH focused on motel tenant relocation, providing rental relocation assistance and
counseling to eligible Yarmouth households living in substandard motel housing
conditions. The pilot family was successfully relocated; HECH also supplied budget and
employment counseling. Further relocations are pending tighter resolution of issues
concerning re -filling of the then vacant motel rooms;
118
J
• The construction of a new, affordable single family home on land once owned by the
Town of Yarmouth - Our First Home, a local Yarmouth non-profit, was the successful
responder to a RFP issued by the Trust. Our First Home constructed the home, Yarmouth
Community Development shepherded the Local Initiative Program application
successfully through the Department of Housing and Community Development and the
Yarmouth Affordable Housing Trust conducted affirmative fair housing marketing and
selected a buyer via lottery. Buyer was selected in April 2009, and moved into their new
home in June (see attached photographs);
• Running the first, initial "Mortgage Basics" seminar, second seminar scheduled for
October 13, 2009 - in addition to providing a firm foundation to understanding credit
scores and the mortgage process, the Mortgage Basics class also offers a "Tuition
Reimbursement".Program, where attendees who complete Mortgage Basics and then go
onto complete a full, Mass Homeownership Collaborative HomeBuyer Education class
will receive reimbursement from the Trust for their tuition expenses (typically $60).
• A project just getting off the ground, the Trust's "Wilfin Project" involves partnering
with a developer in the purchase of a triplex and the conversion of the units to
permanently affordable, well-managed, affordable rental housing. The Trust is acting in a
funding capacity for this project, supplying a loan as well as a grant, and in return
receiving a permanent deed restriction on all three units.
■ Housing Buy -Down Program - one of the major focuses of the Trust, the buy -down
program takes advantage of the current lull in the real estate market, buys existing homes
scattered throughout established residential Yarmouth neighborhoods, performs any
needed repairs or upgrades, deed -restricts the homes to be affordable in perpetuity, then
re -sells affordably to qualified buyers selected via affirmative fair housing marketing.
The program has purchased four great homes to date (see attached photographs), has re-
sold or is under agreement to sell all four to qualified families and has issued an RFP
(request for bids) to purchase additional homes. The Trust hopes to purchase the next
phase of homes this fall, and continues to work closely with buyers. This program is truly
a win -win-win: a win for the buyers in that they are purchasing solid homes at affordable
prices, a win for Yarmouth as affordable housing helps maintain the fabric of the
community and pride -of -homeownership contributes to the upkeep and betterment of
Yarmouth neighborhoods, and a win for the local real estate market as the program is a
ready -willing buyer.
• Currently working closely with Community Development to assist in "saving" an
affordable homeownership unit that is in danger of loosing its affordability due to an
older, less effective deed rider.

COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
Established by the Board of Selectmen in September 2005, the Community and Economic
Development Committee (CEDC) is charged with working "to improve the quality and
attractiveness of new and existing development so as to enhance, sustain and broaden the
economic base of the community, provide employment opportunities, and foster a deeper sense
of community among all residents and businesses by encouraging the exchange of ideas on
119
important community and quality of life 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).
Over the course of 2009, the CEDC played an active role in the Route 28 Market Analysis
project and supported zoning initiatives for motel properties along South Shore Drive. The
CEDC also spent numerous meetings developing new materials for the Town's Economic
Development Initiative Program. State regulations for the EDIP program have recently changed,
and the CEDC will monitor the development of new policies that will hopefully be leveraged to
encourage new commercial investment and job creation in Yarmouth.
During 2009, the CEDC has also made progress in utilizing the Tourism Preservation Fund for
the development of a Gateway concept for the Town's borders and entry points to points of
interest. The Committee is hopeful that the necessary State approvals will be granted and to bid
this work out in time for the summer tourist season.
The CEDC met 15 times over the course of 2009 at regular meetings, as well as at a number of
meetings with the Planning Board, and at a variety of public meetings. In addition, CEDC
members participated in a number of other committees including the Design Review Committee,
the Sign Code Committee, and the Residential Wind Bylaw Committee. The CEDC reviewed
one project in 2009 under the Revitalization Overlay Architectural District (ROAD) bylaw,
providing required comments to the Planning Board.
The CEDC remains committed to growing the local economy and improving the community's
overall quality of life.

COMMUNITY HOUSING COMMITTEE
The Yarmouth Community Housing Committee is responsible for the oversight and coordination
of initiatives and projects that will increase the availability of and access to affordable housing in
Yarmouth. To this end, the Committee continues to work closely with the Planning Board, the
Yarmouth Housing Authority, the Yarmouth Municipal Affordable Housing Trust, the
Community and Economic Development Committee as well as various non -profits such as
Habitat for Humanity, Housing Assistance Corporation, Our First Home, and the Council to End
Homelessness.
The Community Housing Committee met in regular session fourteen times and three times in
subcommittee in 2009. In 2009, the Community Housing Committee used their meeting time to
review potential affordable housing developments, meeting with project proponents each time,
and to discuss housing needs in Yarmouth. This past year, the Community Housing Committee
120
1'
worked with the staff from the Department of Community Development on several projects,
including the motel conversions on Route 28 and the creation of affordable accessory
apartments. As part of their education efforts, the Committee organized the Town's Annual
Affordable Housing Summit in June. Subcommittees concentrated their efforts on the
development of affordable housing Bylaws and standards. Town Meeting unanimously passed
the Inclusionary Zoning Bylaw and the Affordable Lots Bylaw. As the year came to an end, the
Guidelines Subcommittee drafted and distributed the Affordable Housing Standards for
comment.
Promoting affordable housing is a difficult task and the obstacles are so complex that it is
inspiring to serve on a committee with an energetic and motivated group. I would like to thank
the members of this committee for their hard work. We are always looking for a few new
members! I would also like to thank Mary Waygan for all her support and hard work promoting
affordable housing in Yarmouth.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank David Kellogg, who served as the Town's HOME
Consortium representative and to recognize the service of committee members Rebeca Nystrom
who resigned this past year, and Erik Tolley who served as the Planning Board's Representative
to the Committee prior to his election to the Board of Selectmen. The committee looks forward
to another productive year and your involvement as we work to meet the housing needs of our
community.

COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE
Under the Community Preservation Act (CPA), the Town provides funding for eligible projects
under the four categories of Community Housing, Historic Resources, Open Space, and
Recreation. CPA funds are raised through a local property surcharge of 3% and State matching
funds. The program generates more than one million dollars per year to improve Yarmouth's
assets for residents and visitors alike.
The Community Preservation Committee is charged with making project recommendations to
Town Meeting based on many factors, including the overall community benefit and the ability to
meet Committee goals as outlined in the Community Preservation Plan. A public hearing was
held on September 21 to seek public input on project ideas and to solicit comments on the draft
Community Preservation Plan. Eighteen regular business meetings were held and a majority of
meeting time was spent monitoring active projects, reviewing new proposals, and approving
contracts.
This past year, four projects were recommended to Town Meeting. The approved projects are
outlined below:
121
COMMUNITY HOUSING
• $236,000 deposit into the Municipal Affordable Housing Trust Fund to create, preserve,
and support affordable housing.
■ $1,026,100 to support the Yarmouth Housing Authority in the creation of affordable
rental housing on Forest Road, South Yarmouth.
HISTORIC RESOURCES
• $236,205 to preserve the Yarmouth New Church building located on Route 6A, which is
currently used for a variety of community activities. The Yarmouth New Church
Preservation Foundation, Inc. will apply the funds to preserve the exterior of the building
and the stained glass windows.
RECREATION
■ $9,500 to create a community garden in West Yarmouth on Buck Island Road near the
Sandy Pond Recreational Area.
In addition to the four projects approved at Town Meeting, we continued to monitor 13 projects.
Of the 17 total projects, two were completed this year and 15 are underway.
We are pleased to announce that the preservation of the John Simpkins building was completed
in June and all water infiltration problems were resolved. In addition, the Captain Bang Hallet
House, which serves as a museum of historic artifacts and is the only Sea Captain House on Cape
Cod, was preserved with a climate control system.
While there are many projects underway, we would like to take this opportunity to highlight
some milestones of the year.
The Municipal Affordable Housing Trust continued to focus on a buy -down program where they
purchase existing market rate homes scattered throughout Yarmouth, make necessary
improvements, and sell them at an affordable rate to income eligible families. Five of the 12
homes in the program are under agreement. The Trust collaborated with Our First Home, Inc. to
build one affordable home on Old Cedar Lane. Lastly, the Trust funded the Wilfin project to
support three affordable rental units. These projects will increase Yarmouth's affordable housing
inventory by nine units.
The Taylor -Bray Farmhouse rehabilitation project is underway and many features of the interior
structure have been exposed to give the Town a better understanding the structural integrity and
overall condition of the building. As you may be aware, a drainage project at Packet Landing on
Bridge Street is near completion and the Cellar House project will begin in the upcoming year.
In addition, the Town's historic records are almost completely preserved and some records will
be on display at Town Hall for the public to view.
The preservation of the Yarmouth New Church facade is underway. In November 2009, the
Cape Cod Times featured the delicate process of restoring the 1870's stained glass windows.
Lastly, the gardener's at the Forest Road community garden had their first successful growing
season.
We would like to thank Jim Carroll, Recreation Commission representative, and Edward
Blackman, Community Housing Committee representative, for their volunteer efforts and
commitment to the program. We wish them the best in their future endeavors. We would also
like to thank those involved with the Community Preservation Program and we look forward to
another successful year.

CONSERVATION COMMISSION
The Yarmouth Conservation Commission was originally formed in 1961 under the authority
granted to municipalities by M.G.L. Chapter 40, Section 8,C., (The Conservation Commission
Act), 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 Massachusetts
Wetland Protection Act, (M.G.L. Chapter 131, Section 40.) and the Town of Yarmouth Wetland
By -Law, (Chapter 143 of Yarmouth's General By -Law Code). In addition, the Commission
manages approximately 1800 acres of town -owned conservation land in Yarmouth. Many acres
contain hiking trails while many are set aside allowing natural ecological succession.
The Conservation Commission and staff have had a busy year despite the slowdown of the
economy. The Commission Administrator is presently re -writing 3 chapters of the Local
Comprehensive Plan as required by the Cape Cod Commission. The Conservation Administrator
is also a member of the Town's Wastewater Planning Committee. The Conservation
Commission reviewed, confirmed and approved all the wetland resource area boundaries in the
vicinity of the proposed Rte. 28 sewer project. The Conservation Administrator has additionally
worked alongside and mentored Americorps staff in the continuing revamping of the Taylor
Bray Farm in Yarmouth Port. The Americorps are presently performing a Vegetative
Management Plan that will identify and control invasive species and provide interpretive
displays that depict how the farm existed in the 1600's. This year, the Commission has had to
learn and help implement the new State Building Code requirements. The Mass. Building Code
and the Mass Wetland Act combined forces to produce new regulations that changed how
buildings can be built in dunes, and certain FEMA Floodzones. In addition, FEMA has proposed
new Flood Maps for all of Barnstable County. Our Commission attended training in Barnstable
and is assisting the Planning, Engineering and Building Departments explain the changes and
their consequences to the townspeople. The new State Building Code and FEMA maps are
critical to new development as well as re -development. The Conservation Administrator has
been working with developers to smooth out the transition to the new codes as they relate to the
Mass Wetland Act, thereby avoiding cost and confusion in the future. The Commission has had
dozens of public hearings for new residential and commercial development as well as re-
development. The Town's 10 year dredge plan is scheduled to be reviewed in early January and
the emergency dredging of Sweetheart Creek in Lewis Bay was completed this past December.
The Conservation Commission has also applied for a Community Preservation Committee
approval for the upgrade of the Town's Blueberry Patch in South Yarmouth. The area has lost
much of its use due to significant invasive species, dwindling Town staff resources and changing
priorities.
123
The Commission supports the Recreation Department's Flax Pond improvements and will
participate in the recreation improvements at Little Sandy Pond, much of which is set aside for
passive recreation. The Conservation Administrator is presently working with the DPW for
assistance in the creation of the Cape Cod Rail Trail Bike Path Extension over the Bass River
into the Town of Dennis. The Conservation Administrator has provided commentary and
support to the Bluestone Group in the re -vitalization of Rte. 28 and has worked with the
Yarmouth Area Chamber of Commerce for special events as they relate to the Mass Wetland Act
and the Town of Yarmouth Wetland By -Law. The Community Preservation Committee and the
Conservation Commission are presently working on a final plan for the 1750 House property.
The site will be naturally landscaped with public access and interpretive exhibits in the future.
The 1750 site and both the Chase Brook Park and Sea Holly Park sites all open up significant
vistas to the water. Promoting a seaside landscape along Rte. 28 adds to the Town's overall
"Coastal Community" atmosphere. Finally, the Conservation Commission and staff have
proudly and consistently maintained a superior public service attitude. The applicants who must
adhere to the statutory requirements of the Mass Wetland Act and the Town of Yarmouth
Wetland By -Law are welcomed with a "how can we get this project done" approach by both the
Commission staff and the Commission itself. The application processes can be complex, costly
and confusing.
The Commission looks forward to a new year of projects and reviews but is saddened and taken
aback to learn of the elimination of their Conservation Office Secretary job position due to
budget cuts. Sandi Clark has occupied that position since March of 1992 and will be missed not
only by the Commission but, the clients of the Commission that she has passionately devoted her
last 18 years to help. Sandi was an excellent resource for the Commission providing prompt
attention to any item that needed consideration in order for the Commission to fulfill its duties
under the various statutes. Her superior attitude clearly comforted the thousands that utilized the
Commission over her tenure. Obviously, the level of service will diminish and the office tasks
will have to be partially absorbed by the Conservation Administrator. The Commission is
hopeful that this transition will occur without significant consequences to the many customers
that are required by statue to conduct business with us. Additionally, the Commission is
optimistic that future budgets may allow re -hiring. The Commission has had this position staffed
since 1976.

DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE
The Design Review Committee continued their duties in 2009, reviewing all commercial plans in
their jurisdiction, which includes all commercial and mixed-use projects on properties south of
Route 6. Reviews are based upon the Yarmouth Planning Board's Architectural and Site Design
Standards and are advisory only, except for motels located in the Hotel/Motel Overlay District 1,
which is located in the Route 28 commercial corridor. The Design Review Committee also
advises the Planning Board, which is the Design Review Authority for motels in the Hotel/Motel
Overlay District 2 on South Shore Drive and on projects submitted to the Town under the
124
Revitalization Overlay Architectural District provisions of the Zoning Bylaw. All reviews are
conducted as part of the regular Site Plan Review process.
The Committee had a very busy year and in addition to their review duties, worked closely with
the Planning Board to update, refine and revise the Town's design standards. Committee
members look forward to another productive year that will see continued visual improvements to
buildings and sites in the Town's commercial districts.
Members extend their thanks to Rhonda LaFrance for her valuable and efficient staff support in
2009.

HISTORICAL COMMISSION
The Yarmouth Historical Commission is established by Chapter 40, Section 8.D. of the
Massachusetts General Laws for the purpose of the preservation, protection, and development of
the historical and archaeological assets of the Town. It may also recommend to the
Massachusetts Historical Commission places to be certified as historical or archaeological
landmarks. Commissioners' terms are three years, and Associates are appointed annually to
provide specific expertise.
During 2009, there were several membership changes within the Commission. In August,
Chairman Robert Cook resigned from the Commission to pursue other activities. We wish him
well in all his endeavors and thank him for his service to the Town of Yarmouth. Several new
members were also added in 2009. Barbara Beeler, Frederick Fries, James Goldberg, Anne
McGuire, and Julie Mockabee all became Associate members. Subsequently, Ms. Beeler was
appointed Commissioner (to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Cook's resignation) and elected
Chairman of the Commission for the upcoming year.
The Commission continues to work with the Taylor -Bray Farm Preservation Association in
furthering their goals as well as ours. The Farm has become a popular, community -supported
property. Its three annual fundraising events (the Sheep Festival in the spring, the Fall Festival,
and the Holiday Festival) are well -attended by local residents, as well as visitors from off -Cape.
We were fortunate this year to receive volunteer assistance from members of the Taylor -Bray
Farm Preservation Association who devoted many hours to the interior demolition of "modern"
additions to the farmhouse. Richard Boardman, who has restored old homes for over 25 years,
led the volunteers in stripping away the changes made by several families over a long period of
time to reveal the hidden conditions of the farmhouse structure. We believe that this will enable
potential contractors to put together bids that more accurately reflect the actual work that will be
required to rehab the farmhouse. The Town is in the process of evaluating the scope of the work
to move this project forward and looks forward to rehabilitating this historical structure to that it
is preserved for future generations as well as serving as a complementary element to the farm.
Once again the Judah Baker Windmill was open to the public for tours during the summer
months. We are grateful to Commissioner Nancy Stewart and her volunteers for their
enthusiastic service. This year the windmill was open three afternoons per week and every
holiday weekend. Overall, the site welcomed approximately 1,500 visitors --including some
internationals ones --between Memorial Day and Columbus Day.

The Historic Commission continues its work to preserve and maintain the Town's historic
structures and to promote the cultural and economic benefits of historic preservation. During
2009, the Commission met 10 times to further these goals. Difficult economic times have made
it necessary for the Commission to explore alternative funding methods for the preservation of
the Town's historic assets. This year the Commission has submitted a grant application to the
Community Preservation Committee soliciting Community Preservation Act money for the
Judah Baker Windmill. As always, we are grateful for the help and professionalism extended to
us by Colleen McLaughlin, our Office Administrator.

OLD KING'S HIGHWAY
REGIONAL HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMITTEE
The Old King's Regional Historic District is composed of the 6 Towns of Sandwich, Barnstable,
Yarmouth, Dennis, Brewster, and Orleans. The District's boundaries generally start at Route 6
and proceed northward to Cape Cod Bay. It is the largest historic district in America and
includes 37 continuous miles along Route 6A. Chapter 470 of the Acts of 1973, as amended,
governs the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District Commission and the Yarmouth Old
King's Highway (OKH) Historic District Committee. 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. The purpose of this Act is to promote the general welfare of the inhabitants
of the District through the promotion of the educational, cultural, economic, aesthetic, and
literary traditions of the area through the preservation and protection of its buildings and settings
and to maintain its heritage by protecting the aesthetic traditions established in the early days of
Cape Cod.
An annual effort has been made to inform owners of the 3500 properties in Yarmouth'`s OKH
District that the following exterior changes to their structures or settings require an OKH
Certificate of Appropriateness prior to the start of the work: new construction, additions,
alterations, siding, sheds, decks, walls, fences, windows, change of color (except to white), signs,
and demolitions. Reminders concerning this issue are posted on the local cable channel and the
Town Hall information table and at the Building Department and OKH office. Property owners
within the OKH Historic District also receive an annual reminder in their spring water bills. The
public is reminded that changes without a Certificate of Appropriateness application result in a
violation and possible fine imposed by the Building Inspector. The OKH Committee's
designated framing and occupancy inspector conducts inspections of new construction for non-
compliance which could delay issuance of an occupancy permit.
In 2009, the Committee held 21 public hearings at the Yarmouth Town Hall and acted upon 161
Certificates of Appropriateness (including 15 new houses); 9 Certificates of Demolition; 80
Certificates of Exemption; 9 Minor Changes; and accepted more than 100 "Like for Like"
routine maintenance letters. There were also several violation citations issued which required
additional work for Committee members, the OKH Office Administrator, and the Building
Commissioner, who is Enforcement Officer for the Act. At the Commission level, the Committee
126
(
chairman attends monthly appeals hearings and regularly consults the Old King's Highway
Regional Historic District Committee attorney, James Wilson, Esq., with any legal questions that
arise. Leslie -Ann Morse, Esq., handles our court cases.
At the end of 2008, Deborah Gray "retired" from the OKH Committee after 14 years of service,
many of which as Chairman. The Committee would like to thank her for her commitment to
preserving the character of the District for so many years. We would also like to thank members
John Walsh, who resigned from the Committee this year, and Patricia Sherman, who will not be
returning as a member in 2010. Their efforts on behalf of the Town of Yarmouth and the OKH
District are deeply appreciated. During 2009, we welcomed new alternate members Donata
Restuccia and Suzanne Courcier. The Committee would also like to congratulate Suzanne
Courcier for being elected in November, 2009, to fill the position of full member that Ms.
Sherman is vacating. As always, we are grateful for the professionalism and assistance extended
to us by Colleen McLaughlin, our Office Administrator.
For 36 years, our OKH Regional District Committee has been committed to preserving the
architecture of the past, while blending it with the future. Our Committee is always seeking
volunteers to fill any vacancies that might occur. Work or college experience in the construction
or design trades is encouraged, but not required. Please contact the OKH office for more
information.

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 future generations. The State Legislation that established the Cape
Cod Commission in 1989 charges the agency's 19 -member appointed Board with reviewing and
regulating Developments of Regional Impact (DRIs), recommending designation of Districts of
Critical Planning Concern (DCPCs), and preparing and overseeing the implementation of the
Regional Policy Plan (RPP), the set of planning policies and objectives that guide development
on Cape Cod.
With a professional staff organized into three main working groups (Planning and Community
Development, Technical Services, and Legal/Regulatory), the Cape Cod Commission provides
regional services and coordinates many projects and activities that affect all of Barnstable
County and each Cape town. Activities relate to land use and growth management; coastal,
water, and natural resources; community design; economic development; energy; geographic
data and maps; historic resources; transportation analyses and planning; affordable housing; and
more. Details about the Cape Cod Commission's work and the projects and programs highlighted
in this report are available on the web site: www.capecodcommission.org
127
CAPE WIDE ACTIVITIES
PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Major planning and community development accomplishments this year included the, completion
of the 2009 Cape Cod Regional Policy Plan, continued development and adoption of the
Regional Land Use Vision Map, and the preparation of a five-year Comprehensive Economic
Development Strategy for Barnstable County, all of which enjoyed an unprecedented level of
public participation.
TECHNICAL SERVICES
Major accomplishments in technical services for Cape communities included projects pursued
under the state -funded District Local Technical Assistance Program, long-range transportation
planning, continued work on regional wastewater management issues, and enhancements to the
agency's Geographic Information System (GIS) capacity.
LEGAL/REGULATORY
In the Legal/Regulatory program this year, the Commission revised three major regulations and
developed or revised four technical bulletins that relate to the new Regional Policy Plan. In
addition, the Cape Cod Commission issued decisions on 11 Developments of Regional Impact
(DRIs), reviewed more than 35 other DRI proposals, and issued certificates of compliance for 12
previously approved DRIs.
SERVICES AND ACTIVITIES IN YARMOUTH
PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
The Cape Cod Commission's planning and GIS staff supported the Town's efforts to develop
and endorse the Yarmouth portion of the Regional Land Use Vision Map. The Commission's
staff design specialist also supported the Town's community design/revitalization efforts with
computer-generated visualizations.
Through the Cape Cod Commission, the Barnstable County HOME Consortium made 10 Down
Payment/Closing Cost Assistance Program loans totaling $64,605 to first-time home buyers in
Yarmouth, and two Homeowner Rehab Program loans of $32,615 to Yarmouth homeowners.
The HOME Consortium also made a commitment of $125,000 in HOME funds to the Yarmouth
Affordable Housing Trust for its Yarmouth Housing Buy -Down Program, which will create 10
affordable ownership units. Ten Yarmouth first-time home buyers received loans from the Soft
Second Program, a Statewide program administered for the region through the Cape Cod
Commission.
TECHNICAL SERVICES
• District Local Technical Assistance
Under the 2009 DLTA program, the Cape Cod Commission awarded $10,000 to
Yarmouth to fund a feasibility study about establishing a utility to fund stormwater
improvements.
■ Geographic Information System
The Commission's GIS staff prepared a build -out analysis and building footprints and
water use statistics for the Parker's River watershed for the Massachusetts Estuaries
Project and prepared a build -out analysis and maps for a portion of the Route 28 area of
Yarmouth. The GIS staff also provided data related to Hyannis Park for use in a Sketch -
up (computer-generated visualization) presentation.
128
t
• Transportation
The Cape Cod Commission's transportation staff initiated the Yarmouth Road/Willow
Street Corridor Study in May to examine options for improving traffic congestion for
travel through the corridor. The study, with public meetings, will continue through Fall
2009. (Information is online at www.gocapecod.org/yarmouthroad.) The Commission
transportation staff helped plan a proposed bikeway to connect the Cape Cod Rail Trail to
the Hyannis Transportation Center. The Commission's transportation staff conducted 33
automatic traffic recorder (ATR) counts at road segments and one turning movement
count (TMC) at an intersection in Yarmouth.
■ Water Resources
As part of the annual water -quality monitoring program of the Commission's ongoing
Pond and Lake Stewardship (PALS) Project, volunteers collected 12 samples at six ponds
in Yarmouth. Commission water staff organized an educational festival for Mattacheese
Middle School and Holy Trinity School students and teachers.
LEGAL/REGULATORY
The Cape Cod Commission issued a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) Certificate of
Compliance to National Grid/Colonial Gas Company for the KeySpan Pipeline Middle Segment
project in December 2008. The Commission also approved with conditions the DRI application
of the Cultural Center of Cape Cod for its Owl Club Educational Wing in February 2009. At
fiscal year end, the Commission's regulatory queue continued to include the proposed Cape
Wind Energy Project (in litigation), the proposed Parker's River Marine Park, and the proposed
Barnstable Municipal Airport Terminal Project.
The Cape Cod Commission submitted a technical comment letter to the Massachusetts
Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) Office on the Environmental Notification Form (ENF) for
the proposed 10 -year town -wide dredging and beach nourishment project.

COMMUNITY
SERVICES
LIBRARY DIVISION
With a budget that is $28,000 less than last year's, $96,000 less than its highpoint in 2008, and
even $56,000 less than what it was five years ago providing up-to-date library services in
Yarmouth has become more difficult. Disproportionate cuts in the library budget meant applying
for a waiver from the Board of Library Commissioners to avoid decertification. In the face of
the adverse financial conditions in which Yarmouth and other municipalities find themselves, the
resourcefulness, professionalism, fortitude, and demeanor of the Library Director and Library
staff, and the commitment and support of the other Library Board Members, have proven
indispensable. This is a solid, inestimable foundation for major achievements in Library services
once better times arrive ----Harris Contos, Chair, Town
Library Board
The Library budget has undergone significant budget cuts over the past three years, but it
continues to be committed to providing modern comprehensive 21St century library and
information services to the residents of the Town. As evidenced in the chart below, in difficult
economic times, citizens rely on the Library even more for their reading and information needs.
Despite the 2009 budget cuts, overall circulation figures for FY 2009 remained nearly level. The
circulation at South Yarmouth, (with uninterrupted service), rose 9%. The number of patrons
using the Library, and especially program attendance, and computer use also showed a definite
increase. 1,030 new cards were issued.

The 2009 budget decreases caused a suspension of delivery service for two months at West
Yarmouth and Yarmouth Port and an eight-hour reduction in the hours of operation at Yarmouth
Port. The Yarmouth (Port) Library Association assumed a portion of the wage and operating
expenses for that location from December 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009 in order to keep it open
until the end of FY 2009. Since the Town was no longer able to provide substantial financial
support, the Yarmouth (Port) Library Association made a decision to keep the library operating
using private funds and donations. On July 1, 2009, the Yarmouth Port Library became a
privately funded Public Library. The Town allows the Association to use the Town owned
property presently contained in the Library and the Yarmouth Port Library can only be included
be included in the Town's State certification application if the Town makes a monetary grant to
the private Yarmouth Port Library, which it will each year beginning in 2010.
NEW THIS YEAR
The new Library Website, launched in January 2009, reflects the work of a number of dedicated
staff members and a DY High School student intern. The Library also initiated a Facebook page
and a Twitter account. A Gates Foundation Grant was used to purchase two new computers and a
color laser printer. A number of activities were coordinated with the DY High School including
participation in Career Day and a presentation on Library 2.0 to tech classes. A newly
implemented virtual time clock system allows increased accuracy and reduced paperwork related
for payroll processing and an online funds module helps streamline materials purchasing.
Current online resources were enriched and enhanced with the additions of A to Z Maps,
NewsBank, Encyclopedia Britannica and the online language -learning system Mango.
133
PROGRAMS
Nearly 3,500 people attended adult programs in 2009. Participants played inside mini -golf at a
free "Family Fun Day" at West Yarmouth in August made possible by support from local
businesses. "Community in Conversation" is a series of programs created to identify and address
emerging issues. Many programs and events centered on Expedition Whydah, the 2009
"Yarmouth Reads One Book" initiative that included speakers, book groups, and activities for
people of all ages. The Picturing America Gallery in the Leonard Room at South Yarmouth is a
result of a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. This year the Siemen
Scholarship, made possible through the generous legacy of Sven Siemen in honor of his wife
Cecelia, was awarded to Aristide Little -Lex, a third -year student of architecture at Massachusetts
College of Art & Design in Boston. The very popular BookTeasers program continued at West
Yarmouth. The South Yarmouth Trustees offered a condensed version of their program series
and the South Yarmouth Book group, led by Carol Coverly, continued its topic based
discussions.
The Children's Department began a yearlong collaboration with ME Small School on a 21st
Century Grant by conducting book groups and providing homework help. Over 160 readers
participated in the fifth Summer Reading Challenge in 2009. The beneficiary this year was A
Baby Center in Hyannis. A Saturday series for "Groovin at your Library" allowed working
parents and their children to attend an outstanding music program that promotes literacy,
language development and music in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. F.U.N. (Families United
Network) sponsored by local grants and organizations held playgroups on Mondays at South
Yarmouth. The 6th Annual Polar Express attracted over 270 people for a dazzling evening on
December 7. This event is made possible by support from local businesses, the South Yarmouth
and West Yarmouth Library Associations and artwork provided by local grade schools.
STAFF
Christine DiMartino the new Children's Specialist came on board in July. We engaged two
participants from the Elder Services Mature Workers program. The Library Division said
goodbye to Anne Cifelli and Lynn Lesperance. We thank them for their years of service and
wish them well in their new assignments.
VOLUNTEERS
Many thanks to our 60 dedicated volunteers who worked a total of 4,501 hours. Peg Whitney,
Barbara Procaccini, Edna Scott, and Peg Wilder, four longtime volunteers retired this year with
many thanks for their years of service. The Library associations and friends conducted a number
of very successful fundraising activities including book and yard sales, raffles, and the 4th
Annual Cookie Stroll. Without them many programs and services would not be possible.

DIVISION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
LAW ENFORCEMENT/ MANAGEMENT SECTION
Calls for assistance to the Division of Natural Resources remained high this year. As usual the
trends concerning our different species of wildlife varied from previous years. At the beginning
of the year skunk calls remained high carrying over from the distemper outbreak in 2008, as the
year went on however it appeared that the skunk population leveled off and the disease became
less prevalent. After this, the coyote became the most common wildlife species that we got called
about this year. Calls pertaining to coyotes have risen steadily over the last five years as people
134
i
continue to see these once elusive animals on a more frequent basis raising their concerns for
theirs and their pets' safety. Likewise, the calls pertaining to wild turkeys have risen steadily
over the last couple of years. Like last year, we received a significant amount of calls inquiring
and complaining about wild turkeys, as their population continues to increase, calls ranging from
creating a nuisance to impeding traffic on busy roads have become even more common.
RABIES INVESTIGATION/SURVEILLANCE/BAITING
We had no animals test positive for rabies this year. We have only had two positive cases over
the last three years. One was a raccoon and the other a domestic cat, both of these cases were
from last year. These positives represent a very small percentage of the population, considering
the extremely high number of skunks and raccoons that we submitted for testing over this period
that were acting sick, likely because of distemper and other diseases. The symptoms of rabies
and distemper can be very similar so when we have animals exhibiting these symptoms we
cannot tell for sure if it is rabies unless they are submitted for testing. This testing has been done
in conjunction with the USDA Wildlife Services Rabies Surveillance Program. Unfortunately
this year due to state -level funding cuts, surveillance samples were unable to continue to be
submitted to the State Rabies Laboratory for testing. USDA Wildlife Services has been working
this year on establishing a program to conduct their own confirmatory rabies test for surveillance
animals. This test is not to be used for public health surveillance. This program is now up and
running as of the end of December; surveillance samples that have been collected throughout the
year and saved are currently being tested. All animals involved in potential or actual rabies
exposures with humans or domestic animals will continue to be tested immediately at the State
Rabies Lab. The Oral Rabies Vaccine Baiting Program was able to remain active this year even
though the state has cut their share of the funding. Through the coordination and dedication of
the USDA Wildlife Services baits were distributed in the spring and fall. The Yarmouth Division
of Natural Resources office once again served as headquarters for this program. As a result of the
loss in State funding we have revised the program to implement the use of bait stations. The bait
stations have been used as a pilot program in an area of South Yarmouth, south of Route 28, for
the past three years and have proved to be effective. Bait stations are placed in critical wildlife
habitat, replacing the traditional hand baiting distribution. The Oral Rabies Vaccine Baiting
Program appears to be effective with helping protect our wild population against the rabies virus,
in turn keeping pets and the public safe.
WILDLIFE RESPONSE/EDUCATION
The Division still responded to hundreds of calls concerning wildlife in 2009. Calls ranged from
reports of sick or injured wildlife which the division responds to and tries to capture said
animal(s), to inquiries about nuisance wildlife and general information where the Division's role
is to educate the public with information about how to coexist with the abundant wildlife found
in Yarmouth. The Division continues to urge the public not to feed wildlife. If the wildlife do not
associate people or their yards with a food source it will lead to a much better coexistence. The
public as always is welcome to stop by our office and pick up literature on how to coexist with
our native wildlife, or if you are unable to we are more than happy to answer your questions over
the phone. This year as previously stated, we responded to a significant number 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, foxes or turkeys in their yards should use mild harassment
techniques to discourage them from being there. Such techniques may include making loud
noises, squirting a hose at them, or throwing a tennis ball at them. If the animals do not respond
to this type of harassment, call our office so an officer can come and assess the animal.
135
Below are the numbers for our wildlife related calls for assistance where a response was required
and Natural Resource Officers took action this year:
Coyote 121 Fox 23
Raccoon 80 Skunk 101
Bird 35 Opossum 29
Deer 25 Seal 18
Sea Gull 20 Bat 14
Turtle 11 Snake 3
Rabbit 9 Squirrel ` 18
Turkey 48 Whale 1
WILDLIFE HABITAT MANAGEMENT
We saw great success this year with the functionality of the new fishway component of the Long
Pond Herring Run at Clearbrook Road. This was the first year that we would have seen any
positive effects from the initial state issued moratorium on the possession of river herring
imposed three years ago (the moratorium was extended last year until at least 2012). This spring
we monitored a healthy and fairly steady flow of fish as they successfully navigated through the
new fishway system and ultimately reached Long Pond to spawn. Hopefully all of the state and
Local efforts will help this vulnerable resource flourish, as river herring have historically played
such a vital role in our ecosystem as well as our economy. The Clearbrook Road Fishway Project
was funded last year primarily through a $50,000 grant administered by the USDA Natural
Resources Conservation Service. The Natural Resource Division as well as the Town of
Yarmouth Department of Public Works provided project oversight and in-kind services to
include the design portion that was done in house by the Engineering Division.
LAND MANAGEMENT
Unfortunately, due to Town wide cuts to our operating budgets our trail maintenance program
was eliminated last year and we have relied solely on volunteer organizations such as
Americorps to help maintain the walking trails within our conservation areas. The Division did
however receive another grant last year from the Barnstable County Cooperative Extension, this
time in the amount of $25,000 to be used for wildfire preparedness and management to reduce
the risk associated with the possibility of wildfires in our woodlands. This has been another very
exciting and worthwhile project as much of the Cape is comprised of prime habitat to support a
wildfire. The funds were used to purchase equipment and to pay salaries (overtime) of Town
personnel to mechanically remove (mow) brush, creating a 100 ft. wide buffer zone that was
over a mile long, adjacent to private property lines of homes that abut the parcels in the selected
project area, which was selected due to its' vulnerability to wildfire. Another phase of this
project was to hire a consultant to write and execute a prescribed burn plan for small sub -parcels
within these areas that would not abut private property lines. A successful burn that met our fire
management as well as ecological objectives was conducted according to this carefully prepared
plan. The burn was controlled by a crew consisting of trained Natural Resources staff as well as
other trained volunteers and supervised by an experienced prescribed fire leader who along with
staff from the Yarmouth Fire Department who also supplied engines and other equipment to
ensure that the burn was conducted safely and that surrounding resources were protected. We
would also like to thank the State Department of Conservation and Recreation for Mutual Aid,
providing professional wildland firefighters, a brush breaker type engine and other equipment to
aid in this controlled burn. Remaining grant funds will be used to do an additional prescribed
burn in the spring of 2010. Mechanical removal and prescribed burning are preferred
management tools to reduce hazardous fuel loadings which have accumulated in our woodlands.
136
LAW ENFORCEMENT PATROLS
The Division continues to conduct patrols, checking sportsmen engaged in hunting for small
game, deer, coyote, and waterfowl as well as engaged in freshwater fishing in our local ponds.
These checks consist of the inspection of hunting, fishing 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 ensuring that the
individual holds the proper firearm license for said firearm. Shotgun season for deer this fall was
one of the busiest in recent years. We continue to check sportsman engaged in waterfowl hunting
on a regular basis as well. The Division conducted multiple investigations of vandalism and
illegal dumping in our conservation areas and other Town properties. We continue to see a
steady rise in these types of crimes. The Division also received a high volume of calls/complaints
concerning illegal dirt bike activity again this year. We've continued to use photographic
surveillance technology to curtail these and other criminal activities in our areas.
SHELLFISH SECTION
Many areas in the Town continue to be classified as seasonally approved for the harvest of
shellfish by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (D.M.F.). Water
quality monitoring continues to be a top priority of the Shellfish Section and D.M.F. We are
slowly seeing improvements to our marine 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 2009, the Division concluded sampling for the. Estuary Water Quality Monitoring
Program. The data collected over the past 7 years will be reviewed and will result in
recommendations as to how to reduce nitrogen levels in our estuaries. This data will be used in a
larger study sponsored by the Massachusetts 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
recommendations as to what levels should be and how the levels may be improved. The Division
was also involved with the P.A.L.S. Program (Pond and Lake sampling) for the 9th year, where
we sample 6 fresh water ponds through out Yarmouth providing data which gets compiled with
information from other Towns on the Cape. This 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 Grays Beach, Lewis Bay, Mill Creek, Pine Island
Cove, Sweetheart Creek and Lewis Pond. Commercial quahogs were open in Bass River and
Lewis Bay including Uncle Robert's Cove, and Smith's Point. Commercial harvest of soft-shell
clams was open in Follins Pond/Bass River, Uncle Roberts Cove/Lewis Bay and Swan Pond/
Parkers River. The spring of 2009 was a wet one and the summer rainfall was average. Bass
River North, (Rte. 6 to Follins Pond) was open for the harvest of quahogs and soft-shell clams
for a total of 88 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 89 days. Bass River, Lewis Bay and Nantucket Sound is open from October 17,
2009 to March 31, 2010 for the harvest of Bay Scallops. In its 9th season working with the
County seed shellfish program the Division of Natural Resources received 500,000 2mm seed
quahogs in June of 2009. With a normal summer weather pattern, the production at the
aquaculture farm was on track. We produced an abundance of field plant sized seed quahogs that
137
were broadcasted into our recreational and commercial shellfishing areas in October 2009. The
algae produced in Parker's River was abundant and there were no mechanical problems at the
facility, which made it a good growing season.
In the fall of 2009, 200,000 14mm/18mm and approximately 300,000 18mm/23mm seed
quahogs were grown at the Town's upweller facility. We broadcasted roughly 130,000 seed
quahogs grown at the Towns upweller facility into our commercial shellfishing areas in Lewis -
Bay and Bass River. The recreational fishery. received 370,000 seed quahogs grown at the Town
Farm, and then broadcasted into our recreational shellfishing areas in Lewis Bay, Bass River and
Gray's Beach. 177,000 field plant quahogs purchased from Aquaculture Research Corp. were
planted into Bass River, and Uncle Roberts Cove for the commercial fishery in the summer of
2009. This commercial planting was made possible with moneys from the commercial off -set
account. The Division of Natural Resource Shellfish Section conducted its annual contaminated
quahog relay. A total of 1,000- 801b. bags (80,000 lbs.) of quahogs ranging from seed to a four -
inch maximum size were planted by the Division staff. All contaminated shellfish were planted
in Lewis Bay. This area is scheduled to be opened in the summer of 2010.
The fall of 2009 was a fair scallop season for both recreational and commercial fishermen with a
harvest of approximately 300 bushels between them to date. This is our 4th attempt to winter
over 8,000 seed scallops in Lewis Bay in submerged cages.

ANIMAL CONTROL SECTION
Each year the Animal Control Division takes a long hard look at the data collected over the past
12 months and compares it with previous years. In an attempt to better understand and
accommodate the needs of our community, we identify changes that signify trends in pet
ownership.
Last year we had an alarming 50% increase in unclaimed dogs. Nineteen dogs were unclaimed
after being picked up in violation of the Leash Law. We were somewhat relieved to note that
only four dogs were unclaimed this year. Our records indicate that cat owner's may not be as
138
vigilant searching for their lost pet. Twenty eight cats were unclaimed and transported to our
local animal shelters. Although the number of unclaimed cats has been drastically reduced, it is
still at a very concerning level. Please call our office immediately if you think you see a lost or
homeless dog or cat, or if you are missing one of your own pets. Please remember identification
is your lost pet's only ticket home. Please help to protect them by securing the required dog
license on your dog and rabies tag on your cat.
Dog owners will be happy to hear that licensing your dog just got easier. Dog licenses are due
June 30th of each year and will now go on sale in March instead of May, making it possible, and
much more convenient for you to license your dog at the same time you conduct your other
business at Town Hall. When talking to your children about safety, please remember to remind
them not to approach dogs and cats they do not know. Although Yarmouth has had no positive
cases of rabies in domestic animals this year, we did see a positive case of rabies in an owned,
unvaccinated cat in 2008, reminding us of the importance of vaccinating both your dog and your
cat against rabies. Please call our office if you need our assistance finding an affordable rabies
vaccination.
We continue to collect pet food at the Station Avenue Stop and Shop to distribute to families
facing difficult times. These donations also help to feed homeless animals, most of which are
cats that are boarded at our office. We especially need brand named cat food and cat litter to
enable us to help care for these animals while we attempt to locate the owner, or while trying to
place the animal in a new home.
The 22nd Annual Blessing of the Animals was dedicated to Deborah Doe, a true voice for
animals and founder of the New England Society for Abandoned Animals (NESAA). NESAA is
a spay, neuter, vaccination, assistance program. Since its conception in 2007, NESAA has
vaccinated and sterilized over one thousand cats and dogs, mostly on Cape Cod, and many of
them from Yarmouth. Deborah shares Yarmouth Animal Control and Protection's belief that you
can make an enormous difference helping one person, one animal, one situation at a time. We
applaud her dedication.
We sincerely hope that 2010 is a safe year for both you and your pet.

HARBORMASTER/WATERWAYS SECTION
As predicted in 2008, we saw an increase in boating activity for 2009 on Bass River, Parker's
River, Lewis Bay and Nantucket Sound. This increase is believed to be due to lower fuel costs.
Local sailing programs continue to grow in our area as well as other water based activities such
as kayaking, canoeing and other activities to include kite boarding which has become very
popular and created a whole new dynamic within our marine environment.
Investigations of negligent operation of boats increased slightly in 2009. This is likely in part
due to the increase in boating activity and possibly the decrease of on water patrols resulting
from budget cuts. These patrols conducted by seasonal harbor patrol officers' provide
enforcement of both Local and State Laws, and the promotion of safe boating through education.
Resources from sister agencies and adjacent communities were utilized to fill some of the gaps in
coverage and we are grateful for their effort, however are uncertain if those resources will be
available in 2010 as they are facing their own budgetary cuts. The Yarmouth patrol boats
responded to a significant number of calls for general assistance in addition to approximately 26
calls requiring emergency service and rescue response this season. This is almost double the
amount of emergency calls responded to last year. Unfortunately as a result of the decreased boat
patrols, land based resources were required to respond to a large amount of these emergencies
resulting in response delays. The Harbormaster section continued to perform random safety
inspections when possible, on the water and at the boat ramps. This provides an opportunity for
the Harbor Patrol Officers and the boating public to interact. During the safety inspection an
overall safety equipment check is conducted. This interaction also allows an opportunity for the
boaters who are enjoying 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 utilization of a pumpout boat and the
newly installed (2008) land based pumpout station located at Packet Landing in Bass River.
Approximately 650 gallons of septic waste was removed from vessels, free of cost to the boating
community. Water quality tests have proven the effectiveness 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
engage in the sport, State Law requires any person aboard a canoe or kayak between September
15th to May 15th, to wear at all times a Coast Guard approved personal flotation device of Type
I, II, or III (323 Code of Massachusetts Regulations 2.07:10). For safety, we encourage all
persons aboard a canoe or kayak to wear a personal floatation device and carry a compass and
whistle year round as the weather can be unpredictable and it is easy to get turned around in the
fog. We also encourage boaters to attend a boating safety class: The United States Coast Guard
Auxiliary, the Massachusetts Environmental Police and a number of other organizations offer
these classes. Even if you are a seasoned boater these classes are a good way to refresh your
knowledge.
The new docks for Colonial Acres Marina were installed and utilized this season increasing the
slip capacity from twelve (12) to fifteen (15). Running water was also provided at the Colonial
Acres Marina this year duplicating the amenities provided at the previously upgraded Englewood
Beach Marina. We continue to work with the Massachusetts Office of Fishing and Boating
access to upgrade and maintain existing public boating and fishing access facilities. Designs have
been completed and permitted for the redevelopment of the Wilbur Park Area. This project
includes the replacement of the boat ramp and the associated floating dock, parking area and
drainage upgrades, and the construction of a new fish pier. As the result of State budget cuts
funding for this project has been placed on hold but we are hopeful that funds will be available in
2010/11. We look forward to the completion of this project and working with the Massachusetts
Office of Fishing and Boating Access on future projects.
We continue to move forward at a slow and fiscally restrained pace with the development of the
Parkers River Marine Park. As proposed, the highlights 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 created by excavating an upland area and connecting it to Parker's River. In
addition to the marina activities, the project will include public amenities such as a scenic nature
trail with overlooks, parking areas for vehicles and boat trailers, a community park for passive
recreation and a tot lot with play structures. This is a lengthy process. We continue to work our
way through the pre -permitting stage of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR). We have been
conducting meetings with permitting agencies and other stakeholders in the project, completing
additional studies, and formulating the required information for the draft and final EIR. We
appreciate your continued support of this project.

Department and the Yarmouth Police Department on the following: Disaster Planning, FAST
Program to recognize stroke symptoms, Smart Policing in 2009; Importance of Traffic Control
and Enforcement in our Community, and the Impact of Illegal Drugs on our Community; many
thanks to the members of the Yarmouth Police Department and Yarmouth Fire Department for
coordinating and presenting these informative programs.
Each month a variety of support groups are hosted at the Senior Center to meet community
needs. Changes and Loss Group, facilitated by Rick Bickford, LICSW, sponsored by the
Visiting Nurse Association; Laryngectomy Support, Weekly AA and Al -Anon meetings, and a
Caregiver Support Group.
During 2009 we received over 13,000 inquiries by phone regarding our services and those
provided by other Local and State Agencies. Referrals for service were made to many agencies
including: Elder Services of Cape Cod and the Islands, Housing Assistance Corporation,multiple
housing authorities, Consumer Assistance, the Attorney General's office, MassMedline, local
food pantries, Needy Fund, and Legal Services.
The S.H.I.N.E. Program (Serving the Health Information Needs of Elders) provides assistance to
seniors and their families with questions regarding health insurance, prescription coverage and
applications for MassHealth. During FY '09 the Division was awarded a $70,000 grant from the
Commonwealth to continue to operating the regional program at the Senior Center. Last year the
1500 clients were counseled by the S.H.I.N.E. staff, saving them $850,000 in premiums and
prescription drug costs. Members of the S.H.I.N.E. staff include: Regional Director: Sonja
Brewer, Program Assistants: Ann Burchell and Maureen Hickey along with Outreach
Coordinator: Ira Wolfson. Sue LaMastro and Dick McGarr offer their services as volunteer
142
S.H.I.N.E. counselors. The staff and volunteers are an extremely dedicated and caring group of
people who do their utmost to provide clients with the most comprehensive information allowing
them to make an informed decision about their health insurance coverage.
I would like to thank Sheila Curtis who resigned this past the fall as the Cape and Islands
Regional Director of the S.H.I.N.E. Program. Sheila did a terrific job managing the program
since 2007. She along with her staff and volunteers across the region saved Cape seniors millions
of dollars in health insurance costs. Her presence and contributions to this program were very
much appreciated and she will be missed by everyone who knew her in this capacity.
Federal and State income tax returns were prepared by the following 5 volunteers for AARP's
Tax Aide Program: Elaine Bass, Hugh Hilliard, Marty Lieber, Bob Schrader, and Joe Whitaker;
administrative assistance was provided by Georgia Neydorff. These dedicated volunteers spent
an extraordinary amount of time between February 1st and April 14`h working on this program.
During FY '09 they prepared 330 returns for individuals and couples whose incomes fall in the
low/ moderate range saving them a minimum of $50,000 by preparing their returns at no charge.
The volunteers are required to attend a five day training program and pass a test conducted by
AARP and the IRS before they are allowed to participate in the program as tax preparers. The
training program for the region is held annually at the Senior Center during the month of
January.
During the past year 40 residents have participated in the Tax Work Off Program sponsored by
the Town to help residents age 60+ living in their primary home reduce their real estate tax by
$500. Participants have volunteered 67 hours in various Town Departments: Assessors, Board of
Health, Building, Fire Department, IT, Libraries, Recreation, Senior Center, and the Town
Clerk's Office to receive a $500 abatement. The support from Town Assessor, Matthew
Zurowick and the Board of Assessors for this very worthwhile program is very much
appreciated.
Outreach Coordinator, Hilda Davenport along with volunteers Barbara Laband and Susan
Holmes have processed 155 Fuel Assistance applications for the federally funded Low Income
Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). As a result of their work low income elderly
residents will be awarded approximately $155,000 to offset their winter heating expenses.
Ms. Davenport has been instrumental in establishing the Brown Bag Program through the
Greater Boston Food Bank. During the first two months of operation 294 bags of nutritious food
were distributed to eligible Yarmouth residents. We are very grateful to the volunteers who
support this program by picking up the food at the Harwich Food Pantry, sort and pack the bags
and those who deliver to the homebound. This project has received the overwhelming support of
the Rotary Club, Yarmouth Police Department and the Selectman as well as a cadre of
volunteers. As a result of the success of this program a location for a permanent food pantry is
being sought with the hope it will be operational by the end of 2010.
The Elderly Nutrition Program at the Center includes Meals on Wheels and the Congregate
Lunch site. Participation in these programs each increased 4% over the past year. This is a very
real concern for our community as those on fixed incomes are finding it increasingly difficult to
make ends meet. Volunteers delivered 25,302 Meals on Wheels to homebound seniors. The
congregate site served 3861 meals. These numbers reflect the growing number of elders in our
community who require this basic support to maintain health and independence. Participants are
asked to make a $2.00 donation 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.
143
The staff is very grateful for the 150 volunteers working in various capacities in most of our
programs. They deliver Meals on Wheels, work in our kitchen and lunch room, provide
computer instruction and maintain the computer lab, take blood pressures, provide legal advice,
prepare bulk mailings, provide rides to medical appointments, prepare taxes, cover the phones,
teach classes and serve as board members on the Council on Aging and Friends of the Yarmouth
Senior Center.
We are also most 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 appointments every Tuesday. This is a
valuable service for those without transportation and for whom public transportation is
not an option. Last year they provided 121 rides to medical appointments.
■ Old Country Buffet — refreshments
■ Spinal Technology, Inc. and Home Instead Senior Care — for the provision of 45 very
generous holiday gift packages for needy elders
The Division is very grateful to have the support of the Friends of the Yarmouth Council of
Aging (FOYCOA) who have generously provided $14,091.00 to the Division for expenses that
fall outside our municipal allocation. The funds supported the intergenerational reading program
at the MacArthur School; paid 50% of the mailing costs for the monthly newsletter; underwrote
the Saturday night dances; paid for entertainment throughout the year; provided refreshments for
holiday celebrations and the Caregivers Support Group, purchased a commercial dishwasher for
the kitchen which was installed at no charge by Ken Brayton, and tuition for a staff person to
attend a specialized computer class.
I would like to personally thank the staff at the Senior Center for all they do day in and day out
to keep things running as smoothly as possible: Cathy Flanagan, Hilda Davenport, Lisa Noferi,
Steve Gabrick, and Jeanette Hereon do their very best to make the Senior Center a place where
people feel comfortable and welcome; the members of the Council on Aging Board and all of the
Town Departments who are always willing to help out us out in any way they can. Your
assistance and support is very much appreciated by me and the rest of the staff.
Respectfully submitted,
Karen Marciante
Director of Senior Services
GOLF DIVISION
The Division continues improvements to the facilities and operations, including:
• Continued the successful administration of the lottery tee time reservations system
providing over 50,000 golf rounds to Yarmouth Residents and the Non Resident Annual
Fee Component of our Revenue grew to over $80,000.
■ Continued our efforts to promote golf among the youth of Yarmouth by providing free
instruction through golf clinics and summer golf camps, as well as hosting high school
golf team activities and junior tournaments.
■ Continued the successful operation of the Golf Shops and the Bayberry Driving Range
operation generating $270,000 in revenue at the two courses, enhancing customer service
to the patrons and continuing to efficiently utilize current golf shop employees; holding
the overall golf operation wages to a figure below the 2003 level of expenditure.

r
• Upgraded the septic system at Bass River and expanded the patio at the Bass Rh/et-
restaurant.
iverrestaurant.
• Constructed a new instruction tee at Bayberry Hills practice facility.
• Continued to upgrade the level of maintenance and service at the courses with
improvements in methods and equipment; eliciting awards as well as compliments from
residents and guests alike.
■ Collected a total of $3,412,110 in revenue, yielding over $59,000 in excess over all
outlays.
■ Provided a top tier golf instruction with former PGA Tour Player Jim Hallett, NEPGA
Teacher of the Year, Sue Kaffenburgh, Cape Cod PGA Chapter Junior Golf Leader Bob
Quirk, as well as PGA Professionals Ron Hewins and Fred Ghioto on our instructional
staff.
The Golf Division continues to strive to provide quality facilities and patron services. The
Division provides over 90,000 rounds of golf annually to residents and visitors while maintaining
the financial self sufficiency that will allow the funding of the improvements that will enable us
to continue our mission. Continuing the trend of 2007 and 2008, the Town of Yarmouth Courses
generated revenues in excess of $3.4 million in fiscal 2009. Our strategies to contend with the
increased competition from off Cape courses continued to yield success as the Division's
revenue for FY2009 exceeded its day to day operating expense (including interest on debt, other
expenses, and overhead charges) by $481,029. When principal payments on debt are included,
revenues exceed expenditures by $45,029.
In FY2009 Total Golf Revenue was $140,662 lower than in the FY2008. Although the economy
played a part, the difference can be primarily attributed to wet weather in September and June as
well as an unseasonably cold spring. The gap between receipts and expenditures was positive,
with an excess of revenues over expenditures of $46,817 for the 2008 Fiscal Year. Yarmouth
Golf continues to do well, while many other courses have struggled with continued falling
revenues resulting from intense competition. Our sustained program of improving our courses,
and offering our customers a high level of service and maintaining tight control on expenses has
allowed us to enjoy three positive years in succession.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DIVISION
The role of the Information Technology Division is to address the continually increasing demand
for more effective ways to access, maintain, distribute and analyze information pertaining to the
Town of Yarmouth. 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 maintenance of
voice, data, video and related telecommunications services for all Town offices as well as cable
television broadcast. The Technology Division made great strides toward these goals in 2009.
The following sections list what was accomplished and what is planned for 2010.
I -NET
The I -Net (which stands for `Institutional Network') 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 maintaining and expanding this resource. This year we
continued upgrading the backbone networking equipment between Town buildings. Existing 100
146
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, this faster data throughput results in increased
efficiencies of many other software applications. As always, the I -Net will continue to be
developed and upgraded within Town through the design and implementation of effective and
efficient methods of sending voice and video information between Town buildings.
TOWN WIDE PHONE SYSTEM
This past year, the Town made major telephone changes by implementing a Town -wide phone
system and service upgrade. As part of the Town -wide phone system upgrade it was necessary to
convert the Town's existing Verizon billed Centrex phone service lines to supported T1 based
lines. It is anticipated that the consolidation of lines and services with PAETEC will result in
approximate annual savings to the Town of $14,000. Those savings were then used to offset the
purchase price of the new Town -wide phone system as approved in last year's Capital Budget
process. The savings are achieved by reducing the number of phone lines that the Town pays for
and using Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) via the Town's existing fiber optic network (I -
Net). The Town will continue to have the same phone numbers available to outside callers with
the added ability to transfer calls between buildings. From the customer's perspective, the
proposed VOIP system is an improvement over the existing system in both quality and
efficiency.
DATA ACCESS AND GIS
The Division's goal in regard to electronic data has been to improve access to Yarmouth's
electronic information, especially for Town offices outside of Town Hall and the general public.
Currently, Yarmouth's electronic data is being used for a variety of purposes by an increasing
number of departments. 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
applications such as the Geographic Information System (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 referenced information.
This System allows users to perform very difficult, time consuming, or otherwise impractical
spatial analyses. This year, the Town continued to build on and improve its GIS based
applications. 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 system. 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 television channel, Channel 18, continued making
equipment upgrades. New monitors and video equipment were installed in the Town Hall
hearing room considerably increasing video quality. Live Video Streaming over the internet
continued 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 televising a variety of public meetings and events on
Channel 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
147
provide the best quality broadcast and programming possible with the limited resources and
equipment available.
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 listing 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. The . web site is continually modified to provide visitors with a
professional looking site that provides access to information in an orderly and efficient manner.
Visitors can view many documents online, as well as, watch board and committee meetings on
demand. Additionally, the site has a greatly improved search function, which provides visitors
with accurate and in depth search results. The Town's web site continues its goal of providing
users with efficient access to as much pertinent information as possible. The excellent results
show the commitment made by all Town departments towards this goal.
We have made considerable progress in improving information systems in recent years but there
is still much to be accomplished. The Information Technology Division will continue 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.

Shawn Maclnnes
Director of Information Technology
RECREATION COMMISSION
This year the Recreation Division went through many changes. The Commission said goodbye
to Commissioners Jim Carroll, Mike Karras, Mark Lohan and Beth Hollister. All of these
community activists contributed to the growth and success of the Division. We thank them for
their volunteer service and time.
On the staff side the Division said goodbye to Flax Pond Director Joanie Hogan after 13 years of
service, Assistant Director Jessica Maguire and Principal Office Assistant Janet Baldwin. We
thank them all for their dedication and contributions and wish then the best in the future.
The Division added a "green" initiative this past year by adding solar panels to the roof at our
office. We also added holiday recreation program gift certificates as convenience to our
customers. In the programming area we introduced the Jr. NBA/WNBA Skills Challenge, Youth
Bowling at Ryan Family Amusements, Major League Baseball Pitch, Hit & Run Competition,
Yoga at Bass River Beach, Pilates at the West Yarmouth Congregational Church and re-
introduced the Halloween Costume Parade and Egg Haunt, in cooperation with Dennis
Recreation, at Homer Park. We continue to work with Dennis Recreation to serve the
diminishing numbers of children in our communities to provide the best quality sports and
recreation programs possible.
We also introduced a Brown Bag Lunch Series for Town Employees on Healthy Eating and
Wellness, Coaches Training Workshops for all youth sports coaches at Heatherwood and
148
supported the Xiarhos Scholarship Fund with a softball tournament and coordination of the
yellow ribbon project.
In our continuing efforts to rehabilitate the parks in Yarmouth, the Commission requested
support of the community, through Town Meeting, for a bonding initiative in late fall. The
resulting positive vote enabled the Town to receive a $500,000 reimbursement grant from the
Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs. These funds will be used to support the
Phase #1 Flax Pond Rehabilitation Project. The Recreation Commissioners and staff will be
working diligently over the next 18 months to raise the $850,000 in additional private funds
required to complete this project. We once again ask you for your support and generosity when
you are contacted to contribute to this unique public/private partnership project.
Cooperation and collaboration were the buzz words of this year. The Division worked closely
with the Moose Family Center to provide scholarships to local children in need. In
acknowledgement of this multi-year effort the Town renamed the access road into Flax Pond
after Donald P. Sullivan, Moose Administrator, who passed in 2009. The Yarmouth Fighter
Fighters Local 2212 also donated skills and labor to give Flax a much needed face lift in the
spring. This generous effort resulted in over $30,000 of savings to the Town.
The Recreation Division also worked with ME Small School to implement their 21st Century
Learning Grant. And, we were pleased to rename the park on Old Town House Road the Peter G.
Homer Memorial Park and Recreation Area after a Yarmouth native and past Superintendent of
Sanitation who was instrumental in the design of this facility. Finally, we worked cooperatively
with the Library Division to help create an indoor mini -golf course at the West Yarmouth
Library.
The Recreation Commission recognizes the valuable contributions made by all of the staff and
volunteers over the past year. We could not be successful without your generous support and
dedication. We look forward to working with you all again in 2010.

FINANCE DEPARTMENT
The Divisions of the Finance Department continue to execute their core missions which include
Auditing all Town payments to ensure compliance with Town and State procurement policies,
Assessing property values and setting tax rates, Collecting tax and water receipts, processing the
Town's payroll and ensuring funds are deposited in safe financial institutions.
While the core mission has not changed, the way these activities are done has changed over the
last several years. Streamlining activities undergone in 2009 with the goal of processing at the
lowest cost possible has included but is not limited to:
• Implemented the use of Employee Self Service to allow employees to get their own pay,
tax and benefits information at home via the internet.
• 61 % of employees receive direct deposit pay information via e-mail rather than printing,
folding and stuffing envelopes with this information.
• The majority of paper time cards have been converted to the use of electronic clocks
using swipe cards eliminating the need to manually calculate hours.
• Septage Billing has been re -engineered eliminating several steps in the process.
• Dozens of reports are now being created automatically using data in the Financial
Management systems eliminating the need to manually prepare the reports.
• Use of Senior, College and Yarmouth School volunteers continue to eliminate the need
for additional staff.
• Functions that no longer need to be performed have been eliminated.
Planned Streamlining for 2010 includes:
• Online payments of Water Bills
• Expanded Citizens Self Service
■ Streamlining Water Service Connection Billing
■ Expanded use of electronic approvals eliminating the need to route paper
■ Expanded use of imaging reducing the need for more storage capacity for paper
documents
■ Streamline the revenue collection process for departments other than the Collector's
department
Streamlining the Bank Reconciliation process and the consolidation of Bank Accounts
■ Implement the use of Electronic Funds Transfer for the payment of Town obligations to
frequently used vendors to eliminate the printing, stuff and mailing of payments to
Vendors
I would like to again thank all Town employees for their participation while the Finance
Department goes through its streamlining process.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, business -type activities,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town of Yarmouth, MA,
as of and for the year ended June 30, 2009, which collectively comprise the Town's basic
financial statements. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Town's
management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our
audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principals used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each
major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town of Yarmouth, MA, as of
June 30, 2009 and the respective changes in financial position and cash flow, where applicable,
thereof for the fiscal year then ended in conformity with accounting principals generally
accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report on our
consideration of the Town of Yarmouth, MA internal control over financial reporting and our
tests of it compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements
and other matter. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal
control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide
an opinion of the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an
integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and
should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit.
Management's discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison information, on the
accompanying pages, are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by accounting principals generally accepted in the United
States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of
inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurements and presentation of the
required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no
opinion on it.
To view or request a copy of the full audit please stop by the Town Administrator's office in
Town Hall.

TREASURER
The previous Treasurer, Angela M. Park, resigned in January 2009, and I would like to thank her
for her assistance during the transition period in our office. We also hired a new Assistant
Treasurer in 2009, so it has been a real period of change for the Treasurer's Department. The
year was particularly challenging for investing, with interest rates continuing to decline. Once
again, tax bills were mailed in a timely fashion, so the Town did not have to borrow in
anticipation of revenue.
This was the first full year for the new in-house Munis payroll system. The new payroll process,
in conjunction with the other functions in the Munis accounting system, has enhanced our access
to a variety of reports that were previously compiled by hand. During the year, funds were
permanently borrowed via bond for roads, sewer system design and various other Town projects.
We were also able to achieve a cost savings by refinancing a previous bond at a lower interest
rate. We have continued to be very aggressive in collection of tax title accounts. Payment plans
were set up for residents with properties in tax title and any remaining uncollectible tax title
accounts are in the foreclosure process.
I would like to thank the staff, Peggy Mason and Susan Ripley, for their dedication and
continuous hard work during this challenging year. I would also like to thank the Finance
Director and Administration for their continued support.

FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT
"WE WILL DO OUR BEST WITH OUR CAPABILITIES AND RESOURCES
TO PROTECT PEOPLE AND PROPERTY IN YARMOUTH FROM HARM."
ANNUAL REPORT FROM ACTING CHIEF ROBERT F. KELLEHER
RETIREMENTS
Mrs. Jacqueline "Jackie" Frasier retired as a Fire Alarm Operator on 8/24/08. Captain Allen Bent
retired on 8/13/08 after more than 37 years of service. Chief C. Randall Sherman retired as of
12/26/08 after 37 years of service -- the last five as Fire Chief. Both of these gentlemen and Mrs.
Frasier are well known and respected in Yarmouth and the greater fire service community. We
know that they will continue to share their knowledge and experience in all their future
endeavors. We wish them a long, healthy and satisfying retirement.
MILITARY DUTY
Lieutenant Gerard Walsh returned safely home from deployment in Iraq. While on deployment
he attained the rank of Major in the US Army Reserve. We welcome him back and thank him
for his honorable service to our Country. Lieutenant Mark Omerzu, a recent recruit with the US
Air Force Reserve, has been deployed to Iraq; we look forward to his safe return.
PERSONNEL CHANGES
Mrs. Christine Benson was hired as a Fire Alarm Operator. Philip Simonian was promoted to the
rank of Captain. Robert Reardon was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. Four call recruits
graduated from the Barnstable County Fire Training Academy in December, they are: William
Field, Robert Reardon, Alex Theoridis and Emily Vigliano. Michael Walker has been hired as
the new Fire Chief and is expected to begin work on February 1, 2009. Chief Walker comes to
Yarmouth from Pelham, New Hampshire where he served as Fire Chief. We wish him well as he
embarks on his new duties.
NEW EQUIPMENT
The Massachusetts Fire Fighting Equipment Grant has been received and will be used to fund
three hazardous environment meters and a Carboxyhemoglobin meter which measures Carbon
Monoxide in the bloodstream. This upgrade to our equipment inventory will help us keep our
members and residents safe. A new Ford Hybrid vehicle was purchased to replace a larger
Expedition for the Fire Prevention Inspectors. This is our second hybrid and these vehicles have
been proven to be very efficient and well suited to the purpose. A new ambulance was placed in
service and we were able to retain the oldest vehicle as a mechanical spare to ensure four
ambulances in service most of the time.
REPORT FROM LT. STEVEN FALLETTI
MA D1 HMRT
Acting Chief Kelleher and I will celebrate our 19`h Anniversary as members of the MA District
One Hazardous Materials Team in the spring of 2009. The training and experience we have
gained as members of the Team would be impossible to duplicate. We will be host to a new
Regional Hazardous Materials Team Squad Apparatus. The vehicle serves the Massachusetts
District One Hazardous Materials Response Team which covers Barnstable, Bristol, Norfolk,
Plymouth, Dukes and Nantucket Counties. I will serve as the Truck Manager and Acting Chief
Kelleher continues in his role as the Assistant Team Coordinator. The vehicle will be housed in
West Yarmouth; expenses are funded by the Commonwealth.

REGIONAL SHELTERS
Dennis Yarmouth Regional High School has been designated as one of six regional shelters by
the Barnstable County Regional Emergency Preparedness Committee. This new and innovative
sheltering model will improve sheltering capabilities both locally and regionally. The Cape Cod
Chapter of the American Red Cross, the Local Amateur Radio Network and our own CERT
Team have been valuable volunteer partners that will make the plan work.

REPORT FROM EMS/TRAINING SUPERVISOR RICHARD F. TODD
EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
The Department has recently obtained 2 New Ambulances. Longevity, the safety of our
personnel, the public and our patients are major considerations when purchasing new equipment.
Several members volunteered to meet as a committee to specify vehicles best fitting to our needs.
We have completed the replacement of all stretchers used on the ambulances with stretchers that
are operated by a hydraulic system that raises and lowers the patient, reducing potential back
injury to our Paramedics and EMTs. Other features of the stretchers enhance patient care
options. The Automatic Defibrillator Program continues to grow. Each year we receive a
generous donation from the Dennis Chamber of Commerce which keeps this program active.
TRAINING
Training is aimed at the many roles the Fire -Rescue Service provides. In-service training is done
while at work, between other duties. All personnel of the Department devote many hours each
year exercising and updating their skills "In -Service." Compressed Air Foam(Photo 2) is used for
extinguishing fires during training at the DPW area. The "New" E42 has a Foam System which
enhances our ability to put out fire. It enhances safety for the Firefighter, and produces less water
damage to a structure. Firefighters train with Hurst Jaws of Life on vehicles donated by local
businesses. The firefighters prepare for actual accidents using donated vehicles and become
proficient with the tools.
CERT
The Fire Department has a program called Community Emergency Response Training, (CERT).
Our CERT Volunteers have helped at many events this past year. They have helped at local Road
Races, Fire Prevention Open House, the Seaside Festival and the Health Department's Flu
Clinic. Their newest effort is obtain training in Radio communications for Yarmouth Emergency
Management Team. They will be able to utilize radios that are available at Local Emergency
Shelters. They also attend monthly meetings and training. We are very lucky to have these
people as volunteers.
STATION #3
Station # 3 was opened and a Memorial was placed at the entrance to the new station by
members of the Firefighters Local 2122 in memory of Deputy Peter Raiskio. The building
houses our Medical Supply Inventory and spare equipment..
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COOPERATION
We appreciate the cooperative effort from all Town Departments, which helps us continue with
meaningful and progressive training.

REPORT FROM LT. ROBERT REARDON MATF-1
Lt. Mark Omerzu and I are members of FEMA MATF-1 Urban Search -and -Rescue (US&R)
team. There are 13 members throughout the Cape who currently serve. Urban Search -and -Rescue
is considered a "multi -hazard" discipline that involves the location, rescue (extrication) and
initial medical stabilization of victims trapped in confined spaces. Structural collapse is most
often the cause of victims being trapped but victims may also be trapped in large public
transportation accidents, mines and collapsed trenches. The events may be slow in developing --
as in the case of hurricanes -- or sudden, as in the case of earthquakes. We attend monthly drills
and have been deployed for several incidents of national significance, including the 2001 World
Trade Center Attacks, Hurricane Katrina and twice during the 2008 hurricane season.
FIRE PREVENTION REPORT
LIEUTENANTS JAMES ARMSTRONG AND JONATHAN SAWYER
"To IDENTIFY AND REDUCE HAZARDS IN THE TOWN OF YARMOUTH THROUGH EDUCATION,
INSPECTIONS, CODE ENFORCEMENT AND FIRE INVESTIGATION."
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Inspections for the sale of real estate have been very labor
intensive for us and the Fire Alarm Operators. A new online program has greatly reduced that
burden and made it easier for realtors and residents. We want to thank our realtors for
supporting the online scheduling program. The program schedules inspections and processes fees
directly online. The program has been in operation for over a year now and all of the bugs have
been worked out. The Fire Prevention office was also busy with the increase in Inspections,
Investigations, Enforcement and Education programs. Working closely with the Building
Department's Inspector Andrew Arnault, we perform Annual Liquor License Inspections and
Transient property (Motel, Hotel & Inns) Safety Inspections. We thank the Building Department
for their willingness and cooperative partnership. We are very proud to announce that the Town
of Yarmouth is 100% compliant with Massachusetts Carbon Monoxide Alarm Law (Nicole's
Law) for all of our Motels and Hotels. This law protects our visitors from Carbon Monoxide
poisoning by early warning and fast response of the Yarmouth Fire Department. This law has
proved its worth by detecting high Carbon Monoxide levels in a Motel and Nursing Care Facility
in Yarmouth, potentially saving lives. Our Fire Alarm Operators are very busy supporting our
Fire Prevention mission often going above and beyond, for which we are most appreciative.
They are the first face the public sees and they work hard to increase their knowledge to properly
answer questions about Fire Prevention, Inspections and Permitting, in addition to dispatching
over 6000 emergencies a year.

PUBLIC EDUCATION REPORT - LIEUTENANT JAMES ARMSTRONG
I would like to thank the many volunteers from the Yarmouth Fire Department that made this
past year another successful one for public education. Education is the key to public safety and
this priority was reflected by the wide range of programs presented to a variety of citizens of
Yarmouth. Due in part to the Student Awareness of Fire Education grant from the State of
Massachusetts we were able to present Fire safety programs in all of the Yarmouth schools. Fire
Prevention week was very successful with an open house and "Freddy the Fire Engine" in the
Elementary Schools. Thanks to Patricia Fruggiero and the "School to Careers Program" at
Dennis Yarmouth High School for their support of our Fire Corps Internship Program. This year
eight students participated, we are fortunate to have such caring young men and women in our
community. Thanks to Karen Marciante and her staff at the Senior Center for their support of
our monthly presentations for Yarmouth Seniors. Special thanks to Lt. Robert Reardon for his
help and support.
FF/EMT KEVIN ENRIGHT - CAR SEAT SAFETY PROGRAM
The Car Seat Safety Program has been in operation for five years and provides advice and proper
installation for new parents. Each member of the Team attends a 40 hour certification class and
the Team teaches classes on the first Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of each month at Cape
Cod Hospital for expectant parents. Our participation is entirely voluntary and we have little
funding to purchase seats for those in need. If you can help please donate to: (YFFRA Car Seats
96 Old Main St. S. Yarmouth, MA 02664)
INVESTIGATION REPORT FROM CAPTAIN MICHAEL L. CARUSO
For the past several years the Yarmouth Fire Department has employed a team approach in our
investigations. Capt. Philip Simonian, Lt. Paul Holmquist, Lt. Matthew Bearse and I have
worked very closely in a collaborative effort with the Yarmouth Police Detectives. Fire losses
have been steadily declining, but it needs to be mentioned that cooking accidents and unattended
candle use continue to be a problem. The institution of an educational initiative in the schools,
public education awareness from media presentations and our home inspections has made a
tremendous impact on these dangers. The citizens of Yarmouth are reminded to keep their
smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in proper working order. When you change your clocks,
change the batteries.
CAPTAIN ALAN BOWLES - EXECUTION OF 2007 FIREACT GRANT
In the spring of 2005 the Fire Department determined that a major overhaul of our dispatching
system was needed; our dispatchers were becoming overwhelmed by the call volume. We
applied to the Department of Homeland Security for a grant to provide Computer Aided
Dispatching. Although denied in the first year, the $125,000 grant was awarded in the spring of
2007. Specifications were written and put out to bid. Using local resources in the Town's IT
department to purchase and install the hardware, and the engineering department to provide the
geodetic information needed, the "CAD" System was installed in the fall of 2007. For three
months, intensive training of dispatchers and firefighters was carried out and the system went
"live" on January 1, 2008. After the first full year of operation it can be reported that the system
has performed flawlessly. The vendor was immediately responsive to our customization needs by
providing system upgrades as requirements were recognized. We now look forward to the
installation of "Mobile Data Terminals" in our ambulances and fire apparatus in order to deliver
real time dispatch information to our assets "In the Street" The system already has the
architecture for "MDT" installed. We need to add the component pieces to make this operational.
This innovation which is quickly becoming the industry standard will facilitate a speedier and
more accurate response to the ever-increasing number of emergencies in Yarmouth.
186
POLICE DEPARTMENT
Your Police Department was faced with a challenge to continue to provide a high level of Police
service and keep our Police Officers equipped and trained to meet the ever changing needs of our
Town during the most difficult financial times that we have seen in thirty years. I am extremely
proud of our Police Officers, civilian support staff and Volunteers who are all dedicated
professionals who take pride in the community that they serve. I would like to give special
thanks and recognition to our dedicated volunteers who have served the Yarmouth Police
Department and the Town of Yarmouth for many years. Our Volunteers in Policing are truly a
very special group of people who are important members of our Police family.
We have taken many positive steps to improve the efficiency of our operations. We implemented
Online Citizen Reporting System for non violent crimes and Crime Mapping, found on our
website at www.yarmouthpolice.com, that allows you to access an up to date account of what is
happening in your neighborhood. We are transitioning to an automated online scheduling
system. We reduced Police vehicle purchases from seven/six vehicles per year to five/four
vehicles. Repair costs have increased due to wear and tear on the vehicles. We are replacing
current vehicles with less expensive, more fuel efficient models which feature innovative Flex
Fuel (gasoline/ethanol) capabilities. We transfer existing equipment on our vehicles from year to
year until it is no longer serviceable. We have a Police Vehicle Inspection Program to ensure
that all vehicles and equipment are operating properly, preventing more costly repairs and
equipment failures. We have installed motion-sensor lighting to reduce electricity costs.
Prisoner meals have been changed from fast food to energy bars and water. This saves 30-45
minutes of a patrol officer's time to pick up a meal and deliver to the prisoner and it eliminates
administrative paper work and fuel costs. Several holding cells now have washable bed
mattresses, reducing blanket cleaning costs by 50%. Federal and State Grants for our Police
Department have been reduced by approximately $74,000 per year. We continue to search for
available funds and explore innovative ways to more efficiently run our operation.
Even with the changes we are experiencing many negative impacts and ongoing challenges in
providing for the safety of our citizens and Police Officers. During difficult times we do not
want to stop policing. In fact we need more policing. In 2009 we handled 5,547 more calls from
our citizens for Police services than we did in 2008 with seven fewer Officers. The loss of the
seven Police Officers and the increased time handling our citizen's needs reduced the time our
Police had to enforce traffic rules, patrol neighborhoods and businesses, make arrests and
prevent crime.
Yarmouth Police Officers must always be prepared to make a decision to take or not take a life.
We are the only department in Town which is proactively on patrol in our community 24 hours
per day 365 days per year. Each Police vehicle is equipped with the tools, including a
defibrillator that enables us to respond to all emergencies. We are responsible for the protection
of life and property. We are the primary answering point for all 9=1-1 telephone calls and other
emergencies. Everyday Police Officers make decisions to deprive a person of their right to
freedom through arrest and to search and seize a person's property. Officers must forcibly
execute high risk search/arrest warrants. Officers willingly respond to unknown dangers such as
domestic violence, robberies, assaults, disorderly persons, active shooters, suicidal persons and
all other violent incidents. Yarmouth Police Officers stop thousands of motor vehicles per year,
both day and night. Every stop is an unknown risk to an officer's safety. Each year we take into
custody hundreds of persons who are highly intoxicated, under the influence of drugs or
psychologically unstable. Often these persons are violent and resist arrest and the booking
187
process by physically attacking our officers. While arrested persons are in our custody we are
responsible for preventing injuries and suicide.
The safety of our Police Officers and citizens is compromised due to training cutbacks,
equipment repairs, fewer Police on patrol in our community, and officers injured in the line of
duty and unable to work. Every day our Police Officers face the constant danger of physical
attacks and abuse placing them at great risk of injury and even death. Regardless of weather
conditions, Yarmouth Officers are on the job and responding to the needs of our residents. Every
year our officers file thousands of reports ranging from damaged property to homicide. We are
called to protect and assist all other Town agencies including the Yarmouth Fire Department.
Anyone who delays or prevents our Emergency Medical Technicians or Paramedics in providing
medical treatment to any person in need would cause more complications and possible death.
We must have a sufficient number of Police Officers on duty who are prepared and properly
trained to respond immediately to any and all emergencies. Over the past 18 months the average
calls per officer has increased by over 100 per year. A delay or inability to respond will cause
further property loss, increased risk of injury to our Police Officers and citizens, a greater
potential for fatalities and increased civil liability to the Town of Yarmouth. We do not have the
funds to call in additional Police Officers every time our regularly scheduled officers are at
domestic violence incidents, traffic accidents, drug violations, arrests, dealing with mentally ill
persons, and all calls for Police service that tie up officers for long periods of time. We routinely
operate below our minimum staffing levels. There are many times when no Police Officer is
available for the next call, meaning that many calls for service are delayed. We have 5 patrol
officers 8 a.m. to 3 a.m. and four officers on patrol 3a.m. to 8 a.m. Each shift has one sergeant
and one dispatcher. When the response time for a violent crime in progress is increased, the level
of danger increases significantly for our Police Officers and citizens, putting their safety at
serious risk. We are not able to train Police Officers while they are on duty responding and
investigating crimes. Most training cost overtime that we do not have. Our Police Officers are
in a constant state of readiness and must be mentally prepared to face all the dangers and stress
related to Police work. We need to maintain the psychological well being and safety of our
officers every day. Police Officers require constant training to successfully use their available
weapons to stop threats and acts of serious bodily harm and death. The Yarmouth Police
Department handles a significantly larger call volume than other Town agencies. Every day
Yarmouth Police Officers face violence and dangers to themselves that most people will never
experience.
Police Officers face stress levels that are higher than most occupations. Nationwide a total of 1,
640 Law Enforcement Officers died in the line of duty during the past 10 years, an average of
one Police Officer killed in the line of duty every 53 hours. Nationwide, more than 60,000 Law
Enforcement Officers are assaulted each year, resulting in approximately 16,000 injuries.
Today more than ever we rely on the hard work and efforts of our Police Officers, civilian
support staff and dedicated volunteers. It was through their hard work and sacrifices that
allowed us to finish the fiscal year within our appropriated budget. It is important for all to
understand that in doing so we lost seven Police Officers and valuable programs and time that
were spent to prevent crime, disturbances and traffic complaints. Many Community Policing
Programs such as the Code Enforcement Impact Team, Citizen Police Academy, Adopt A
School Officer, Bicycle Patrols, Domestic Violence Family Services Unit, Traffic Enforcement
Directed Patrol Team and RAD Self -Defense Program for Women were suspended. We reduce
our effectiveness in community policing, which involves problem -solving through developing
lasting relationships with our residents, business owners and visitors.
188
Our concern now turns to our future. With future budget cuts and reductions we will not be able
to provide the same services. We will not be able to operate within the appropriated budgets.
Crime and the cost of crime to you will increase faster than it might under the best of
circumstances. We routinely go below minimum staffing levels. Frequently there is no Police
Officer available for the next call. This causes delays in response time impeding our ability to
solve crimes.
The Barnstable County Jail can only accept a total of 10 prisoners a day from all Cape towns.
They will not accept prisoners who are intoxicated, sick or suicidal. Often we have to use an
officer who is on patrol in your neighborhood to monitor these prisoners. In an effort to reduce
the time and resources needed to process arrests for minor crimes we are issuing more court
summons. The intangible impact of this trend is that we lose the opportunity to take photos and
fingerprints and gain intelligence about other criminal activity. This limits our ability to solve
crimes.
Despite these challenging times, we all need to focus on the fundamentals of quality policing,
with an emphasis on Training, Citizen Safety, Officer Safety, and Proactive Crime Suppression.
The Yarmouth Police Department has the unique and critical mission of protecting the lives and
property of our citizens in a 24 hour/365 day operation, in a constant state of readiness. We must
be properly staffed, properly trained and properly equipped to handle any and all emergencies,
from motor vehicle crashes, car thefts and violent acts in progress, to apprehending bank robbers
and drug dealers.
In closing I would like to thank Lt. Paul Rooney and Patrolman William Coughlan for over
thirty-three years of dedicated service to our Police Department and the citizens of the Town of
Yarmouth.
Respectfully Submitted
Michael Almonte
Chief of Police

BOARD OF HEALTH
The year 2009 again witnessed the continuation of many Board of Health programs designed for
protection of the environment and public health. The year 2009 will be remembered as the year
of the H1N1 Swine Flu. The Division held 7 H1N1 clinics for Yarmouth residents ranging from
6 months of age and older. This included clinics for second vaccinations for children 9 years of
age and younger. The Division worked closely with the local day care facilities, the Yarmouth
schools which are part of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District and the St. Pius X
School. The Division also worked closely with the Visiting Nurse Association, the County
Health Department nurses, the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC), and Fire Department CERTS in
regards to the operation of the clinics. We also had frequent communication with the local
pediatrician offices and medical doctors. Between the 5 seasonal flu shot clinics and the 7 H1N1
flu shot clinics, the Division vaccinated over 2,800 people. The clinics involved scheduling
individual appointments, which required setting up a separate flu call line manned by Health
Division employees as well as volunteer workers. The scheduling of H1N1 vaccination clinics
will continue into 2010. The Town budget cuts caused the elimination of payments to 12 human
service agencies and the reduction to payments for nursing services. The bimonthly health clinics
held at Town Hall were reduced to monthly health clinics. Also eliminated was the Household
Hazardous Waste Collection Program. The Division has also lost 3 summer intern inspectors
over the past few years. The Health Fair had to be eliminated also from the Seaside Festival. The
Board held workshops on ticks, Lyme Disease, mosquitoes, West Nile Virus and Eastern
Encephalitis. Presentations were made by representatives from Cape Cod Mosquito Control and
the Cape Cod Cooperative Extension Service. The Board of Health held 18 meetings in 2009.
Discussions included the above topics, along with discussions on septic system variances for new
home construction, septic truck transportation, beach water quality, rabies baiting and flu shot
clinics. The Board recommended a smoking ban on Town beaches. The Board also discussed
Health Division emergency planning which included a meeting with the Director of the Medical
Reserve Corps. The Board also reviewed several health regulations and policies on food service,
restaurants and housing. Ongoing programs include inspections conducted by the Health
Division Office staff of restaurants, retail food stores, motels, cabins, camps, public and
semipublic swimming pools and whirlpools, 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 Division Office staff
reviewed all Building 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 and groundwater protection. The
Health Division Office continued to oversee 3 grants during 2009. The 1st 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 conduct compliance inspections. The
2nd grant was for assistance to moderate income families for pumping their septic systems. The
3rd grant was for the assistance to families for the repair of septic systems.
RABIES CONTROL PROGRAM
Amy von Hone, Assistant Health Director, coordinated the Rabies Control Program. Rabies is a
disease caused by a virus which attacks the central nervous system and the brain. There are
numerous strains of rabies that are species specific that exist throughout the world and this
country. Bat rabies has been endemic in this State for many years. Although certain animals are
more sensitive to a particular strain of rabies, the disease can be transmitted between warm -
196
blooded species which includes pet cats and dogs, and even to humans. Because the virus
concentrates in the saliva of the infected animal, the 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 1st rabid raccoon was
discovered in September 2004. Since the discovery of rabies in : Massachusetts, the
Massachusetts Department of Public Health has funded an Oral Rabies Vaccine Baiting Program
to prevent the spread of rabies on Cape Cod. Baits containing the rabies vaccine are distributed
throughout the community to vaccinate our wildlife. Yarmouth conducted 2 modified baitings
(April and November 2009) targeting raccoon habitat within Town borders through the
temporary placement of bait stations and distribution by hand with the help of Health Division
and Natural Resources Division personnel. State funding of the baiting program has not been re-
instated, however, with the continued funding support from the United States Department of
Agriculture and the volunteer contributions from numerous local agencies the baiting program
will continue into the next year. The success of the program has yet to be determined, however
the collaborative efforts of the many Federal, State, municipal and private agencies involved has
been recognized Nationally and is being used as a model for programs elsewhere. Due to the
dramatic decrease in our raccoon and skunk populations, we had a significant drop in potential
rabies exposures and sick animals captured for testing. There were no animals, wild or domestic,
that tested positive for the disease this year. However, the potential still exists; therefore, all
Town Departments involved with our rabies response continue to make the extra effort to
respond to inquiries as quickly as possible to prevent any further exposures to both humans and
pets. The 2009 tally of the animals tested in Yarmouth is listed below:
Cats 3 Dogs 1 Raccoons 3
Skunks 17 Squirrels 0Opossum 3
Woodchuck 0 Bats 7 Muskrat 0
Coyote 0
Animals Total: 34 (0 animal tested positive for rabies)
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 rabies response team. Their
timeliness, knowledge and professionalism have made a potentially dangerous environment
much safer for our Town's citizens 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
rabies cases. As always, the Health Division emphasizes the importance of vaccinating all cats
and dogs as required by law to prevent the spread of rabies. Because household pets, especially
cats, are the common link between infected wildlife and humans, pets must be properly
restrained and identified. Humans should avoid contact with all stray animals and wildlife 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
The Board of Health offers health preventative programs, such as Preschool Immunizations,
Diabetic Screenings, Nutritional and Adult Health Counseling Clinics, along with Blood
Pressure and Hearing Tests at the Town Hall. Due to budget reductions, unfortunately the
programs were changed from bimonthly to monthly clinics.
VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION OF CAPE COD, INC.
The V.N.A. provides health oriented instructional care and services to individuals and to entire
families in the home or other appropriate locations. The agency has been serving Yarmouth
197
residents for over 75 years. Comprised of nurses, home health aides, therapists and social
workers the skilled V.N.A. staff works closely with the Health Division Office to provide 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 preschool children are held at the V.N.A. office. Health promotional
programs included information and encouragement to 1st time mothers. The bimonthly blood
pressure and diabetic screening clinics at Town Hall were attended by 161 people. The services
provided by the V.N.A. are as follows:
• 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
HEALTH CLINICS AND INSTRUCTIONAL COURSES
Additional or expanded services are continually under review by the Board. Again planned for
the upcoming year are the Annual Flu Clinics (approximately 2,800 people), multiple
educational programs, Skin Saver, Breast Mammography, Cholesterol Screening and Glaucoma
Clinics. In conjunction with the Yarmouth Restaurant Association, the Health Division Office
staff offered a ServSafe course for food service establishments. The Health Division Office also
held a series of pool safety certification courses for motel personnel, which included C.P.R. and
Standard First Aid.
BATHING BEACHES WATER QUALITY
The Yarmouth Health Division, in conjunction with the Barnstable County Health Department
conducted multiple testing at 22 salt water and 10 fresh water bathing beaches on a weekly basis
from Memorial Day through Labor Day. A total of 490 samples were collected. Over the course
of the summer, a total of 8 beach closures (6 individual beaches) due to elevated bacteria levels
caused by runoff from heavy rains. In addition, 6 beaches were temporarily closed as a
precautionary measure due to the Hyannis Harbor sewage overflow incident in June. All
beaches were reopened within 24-48 hours after successful retests.
WEST NILE VIRUS ENCEPHALITIS PROGRAM
West Nile Virus (WNV) encephalitis is a rare disease caused by a virus. In a small percentage of
people, the disease can become serious, even fatal. 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. virus came from. The virus grows
in birds, and it is transmitted from bird to bird and from bird to humans 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, disorientation, 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 infected 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 mosquitoes, which are killed by
frost in the fall. There is no WNV vaccine for people or horses. The only way to protect yourself
198
is to keep mosquitoes from biting you. Follow these steps every summer 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 playpen with mosquito netting.
• Fix any holes in your screens and make sure they are tightly attached to all your doors
and windows.
To reduce mosquito populations around your home and neighborhood, get rid of any standing
water that is available for mosquito breeding. Mosquitoes 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 containers that are left out doors, so that water can
drain out.
■ Clean clogged roof gutters.
• Turn over plastic wading pools and wheelbarrows 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 chlorinated.
• Use landscaping to eliminate standing water that collects on your property.
Due to State budget cuts for FY2010 the collection and testing of dead birds was halted in the
summer of 2009. The Health Division would like to emphasize that all citizens should continue
to follow the above guidelines and precautions to avoid illness.
TOBACCO CONTROL PROGRAM
The Health Division continues to work with the Cape Cod Regional Tobacco 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 vending machines to prevent under age access; and require a license to sell tobacco
products. In 2009 there were 36 licenses issued to establishments to sell tobacco products. The
Division worked with Cape Cod Tobacco Control in conducting 33 compliance checks in 2009.
Zero (0) establishments were issued fines. Yarmouth tobacco retailers achieved 100%
compliance with the regulations preventing under age tobacco retail sales.
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 3 week wait for review of engineered septic plans. Many of these were for the installation of
septic systems for Real Estate sales, new construction, construction/renovation and septic repairs.
To meet this need the Division engaged the County Health Department to assist in witnessing
199
deep and perc testing. The Board has delegated authority to Health Division staff to approve
septic repair variances "in house" after review of engineered plans for maximum feasible
compliance to expedite the permitting process. The staff reviewed and approved 86 septic
variances under this criterion. The new Title 5 Regulations also require the Division Office to
review and comment on septic system evaluation reports on every Real Estate sales transaction.
There were 406 Septic Inspection Reports reviewed between January and December 2009.

New construction and additions/renovations increasing septic 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. The Board of Health continues to monitor the
1st approvals in the State, from the Department of Environmental Protection, to allow an
alternative septic technology installation. A Bioclere Self -Contained Waste Water Treatment
Plant that provides additional treatment was installed at a residential location on Mercury Drive
and at the Super Stop & Shop.

THE SEPTIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
This program, which is administered by the Health Division Office, was responsible for many of
the Town's failing septic systems being upgraded. Continuing implementation of this program
includes: septic system maintenance pamphlets, consultations, written and audio-visual
materials, along with sewage system location cards and pumping histories 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 Building
Permits to determine the adequacy of the septic system for all projects involving building
alterations and/or renovations, and requires upgrading of all cesspools to a new septic system
which is helping to ensure protection of the Town's groundwater quality. As a condition of
receiving Federal and State assistance for the construction of the septage treatment 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. In order to ensure that a septic
system continues 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 related to the intensity of use (i.e., how many people are
200
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 between pumpings will vary for each home.
Therefore, the regulation requires that all systems be pumped every 4 years or have a FREE
inspection 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 4 years with certain waiver provisions. This requirement was a result of an
E.P.A./Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection grant of monies to the Town for
construction of the Septage Treatment Plant. This grant encourages assistance to low and
moderate income residents in complying with the regulation, as well as assistance in
repairing/replacing failed septic systems. Oil tank removal and replacement is no longer funded.
Carl Lawson oversees the installation and repair portion of the program, while Brian Heaslip
oversees the septic pumping reimbursement portion. The statistics for grant awards are as

Carl also oversees the Annual Collection of Household Hazardous Materials, which was
eliminated in 2009 due to Health Division budget reductions. Budget reductions also forced
elimination of Yarmouth resident participation in the joint Barnstable/Yarmouth collections at
the Town of Barnstable Transfer Station. Funding sources are being explored to restore these
services. 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 towers. Other clean-up
methods involved the removal of contaminated soils and the installation of ground water
monitoring wells. Carl coordinates public health emergency planning as required by the State
Department of Public Health. This planning includes emergency dispensing sites, KI distribution,
attending State and regional meetings and monthly meetings with representatives from Police,
Fire, the County Health Department, the Department of Public Health, the Medical Reserve
Corps 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 also enforces the Massachusetts Department
of Public Health housing regulations and 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. Due to budget cuts the Police Department has significantly reduced its
participation.

The Health Division continues to add to and maintain many of its administrative functions for
monitoring the public health and environment, which includes the following programs:
underground gasoline storage tanks, hazardous waste, right to know, septage pumping data for
all residential and commercial buildings, nitrate loading restrictions, complaints, housing rentals,
dog bite reports, food service, swimming pools, well water analysis, along with pond, river and
coastal water analysis. As in prior years, 2009 saw the Health Inspectors continue to work
toward higher public health standards through their attendance of, and their involvement in
meetings, seminars and conferences sponsored by the State Department of Public Health, the
Massachusetts Environmental Health Association, the Massachusetts Health Officers
Association, Barnstable County Health Department Seminars and by serving on various State,
Town and County committees. The Director of Health's appointment by the governor continues,
for the 21st year on the State Board of Registration for Certified Health Officers. The Board of

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS (DPW)
GEORGE R. ALLAIRE, DPW DIRECTOR
Snow, Snow, Snow! We started 2009 on January 1st with snow operations and finished the year
with a blizzard. The week before Christmas 2009, the DPW Divisions pulled together to do the
snow removal with Waste Management, Cemetery, Grounds and Buildings as well as the Water
Division pitching in to accomplish the task. Unfortunately we were in deficit in the snow
removal budget by $58,106.16 as of January 22, 2009. We completed the site work for the Salt
Shed in May '09 and stored salt & sand in the shed the previous winter.
With the prompting of Nancy Homer and friends, the Board of Selectmen renamed Old Town
House Park, the Peter G. Homer Recreational Facility. The renaming dedication took place on
May 30, 2009 with many of Peter's family, friends, Selectmen and colleagues attending. Peter
was the long time superintendent of the Yarmouth Landfill and Disposal Area next door to the
recreation facility. In fact the fields are situated in the former compost area. We all miss Peter!
Wastewater Planning continued as we received the Massachusetts Estuaries Project (MEP)
Report for Parkers River in August from the School of Marine Science and Technologies,
UMASS, Dartmouth. The report, available on line, reinforced the Town's need to get into the
wastewater collection and treatment business. Excess nitrogen from septic systems is causing
environmental degradation of water quality in Parkers River culminating in a widespread fish
die -off in this river in July. Nitrogen from septic systems enters the groundwater, which flows to
Seine Pond (Swan Pond)/Parkers River. Once the nitrogen enters the water bodies it promotes
algae growth, which robs the water of oxygen, resulting in the fish kill. _ The fish kill
demonstrates how close this water body is to being uninhabitable by aquatic life and the need for
action.
Through SMAST, DPW in conjunction with the Integrated Water Resources Planning
Committee looked at potentially eliminating the restriction of the Route 28 Bridge over Parkers
River. The current bridge is only 18 feet wide. SMAST did a hydrologic review of widening the
bridge to 30 feet and found potential positive impacts from a flushing stand point for Seine Pond.
Now we are working with agencies to review flooding impacts of the bridge widening. To that
end the DPW Engineering Division did survey work around the Pond/River to identify low lying
property to aid in this flood analysis, more to come in 2010.
On the Energy front, DPW had some success and disappointments. The success included the
installation of solar panels on the Recreation/Chamber of Commerce Building on the corner of
Route 28 and Higgins Crowell Road in January 2009 and the installation of a meteorological
(MET) tower in August at the Water Division Headquarters on Buck Island Road. The Town
Hall was designated as an "Energy Star" building due to all the conservation measures
implemented at this location. With solar panels on the roof and conservation improvements &
measures in place, electrical consumption was reduced 44% at Town Hall, when compared to the
previous year. Towards the end of the year the State ran out of rebate money for solar projects,
due to their popularity, which halted two Town solar projects, one on a building in the Waste
Management Disposal Area and another at the YD Septage Treatment Facility. The DPW put a
lot of time and effort into the preparation for bids and proposals for these projects, which only
adds to the disappointment of the final outcome. The projects are on hold until the State re-
defines and funds the rebate program.
On the transportation front, we worked with the Department of Public Utilities to resolve some
issues with the Willow Street Project revolving around the railroad crossing at the entrance to the
209
Yarmouth Camp Ground Association. All reviews and comments on the work done at the Route
6 interchange to the relocated Higgins Crowell Road have been positive on this project, except it
took too long to construct. The Town of Barnstable initiated a corridor study for the remainder of
Willow Street (Yarmouth) and Yarmouth Road (Barnstable) through the Transportation staff of
the Cape Cod Commission. In addition to looking at several alternatives for this roadway to
improve traffic movements and safety, the corridor study will also propose a link of the Cape
Cod Rail Trail into Hyannis. As of the end of this year the corridor study is almost complete after
much public input.
The Rail Trail Project, extending the trail from Route 134 in Dennis through Yarmouth is still
alive. The Massachusetts Highway Department, now Mass Department of Transportation (MASS
DOT) approved the design contract in September. We met with the Beacon Street neighborhood
in December to make sure their concerns were addressed with state DOT representatives on hand
with the design team of CDM and VHB. Construction of this rail trail extension is s scheduled to
begin in 2012.
RDA Construction was awarded the bridge rehabilitation contract for the Highbank Road Bridge
by the Towns of Yarmouth and Dennis. Work began in July with most of the work completed by
early December. We nowhope to rehabilitate the Keveney Lane Bridge, this coming summer, in
conjunction with the Town of Barnstable. While the work at Packet Landing does not involve
transportation, it was funded and constructed with Federal Highway funding along with State
roadway funds. Work began in March 2009 and most of the utility work was in place by
December. Some final work and plantings will take place next year for a fine gateway project.
Thanks to Representative Delahunt for his work in getting this project funded.
The DPW continued the traffic corridor study for Route 28 in response to potential new
village/economic centers along Route 28, the Marina project at the former drive-in site as well as
the Hotel/Motel Growth Incentive Zone. The Board of Selectmen, along with the Planning &
Economic Development Department hope to see Route 28 redeveloped, to create a destination
for Cape visitors. A third center turn lane was proposed by the consultant to accommodate the
many turning movements along the Route. Driveways currently exist every 60-100' along the
entire corridor. Land takings required to accommodate the center lane caused the Selectmen
concern with potential long term zoning issues created by the takings. The Planning and
Economic Development Department is looking at developing a hold harmless provision in the
Zoning Bylaw for properties affected by land takings for transportation purposes. The Board of
Selectmen will decide if they wish to pursue such a project with the State MASS DOT next year.
We received the 25% design phase plans for the improvements to the intersection of Forest and
Old Town House Roads. This project will be State/Federally funded and is scheduled to be bid
this summer, if everything goes smoothly. The intersection will be reconfigured and signalized to
improve safety in this area. This project was prompted by safety concerns from the Yarmouth
Police Department based on numerous accidents at this location.
Through a county grant, DPW investigated if it made sense to look at a storm water utility to
fund maintenance activities being forced on the Town by the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) through the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit (NPDES). The EPA
issues NPDES permits every 5 years and the next permit which is expected in 2010 will require
street sweeping, catch basin cleaning and outfall discharge monitoring at costs we cannot afford
due to reduced budgets over the last 3 years. As a result we met with the Selectmen in July to
discuss a stormwater fee to cover the mandated EPA, NPDES cost. The Selectmen authorized the
DPW to further investigate such a fee through a public input process. More on this next year!
210
At the YD Septage Treatment Plant annual volumes decreased due to economic conditions we
assume. Competition with other disposal facilities may have had an affect on reduced septage
quantities and we will monitor the situation closely. We have a new contract operator, Weston &
Sampson Services following responses to a Request for Proposals in which 3 firms responded.
The new plant manager is David Bernier with all other plant staff, from the previous company,
hired and remain at the plant.
This has been another busy and successful year for the DPW and I must thank all the DPW
employees for being great ambassadors for the Department and the Town. Most especially my
thanks to Mona Solmonte for her dedicated hard work for the DPW, patience and care in
handling service requests from citizens and keeping DPW on an even keel.
ENGINEERING AND SURVEYING DIVISIONS
RICHARD P. DEMELLO, TOWN ENGINEER
DOUG WROCK, TOWN SURVEYOR
In 2009, the Engineering and Surveying Divisions continued to complete many projects and to
assist other Town Departments and residents alike on many more projects despite the fact that
our operating budget was cut by 12%. Unfortunately, due to the budget cut Tim Myland, a very
talented and knowledgeable civil engineer, was laid -off on July 1st. We will sorely miss Tim's
ingenuity and foresight. Further budget cuts also resulted in losing 50% of our annual
appropriation for Roadway Management System (RMS) projects. The RMS budget cut coupled
with a significant increase in construction bid prices resulted in an overall decrease in roadway
maintenance spending power of 70%. To help us make ends meet we have essentially
eliminated our participation on the Site Plan Review Team and will likely have to require that
some time consuming projects be designed by consulting engineers. We also now require that
paper, ink, and other supplies for large projects be paid for by the sponsoring
Department/Division. Finally, budget cuts within other Departments/Divisions have resulted in
the lapsing of the GIS software licenses which will eventually likely result in our inability to
maintain the GIS base maps due to outdated or failed software. As always we continue to seek
alternative funding sources such as grants and ways to improve service delivery efficiency and
effectiveness. The following briefly outlines the highlights of our accomplishments for 2009:
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
■ Prepared and submitted the Phase II Stormwater Management Annual Report to EPA and
DEP as required by EPA's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 5 -
year General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Small Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer Systems (MS4s).

maintenance tracking methods.
■ Prepared list and requested Board of Selectmen's approval for removal and/or rescission
of unnecessary signs and formal approval of existing signs based upon review of the sign
database.
• Began digitizing stop signs on to a newly created GIS layer.
• Prepared agenda for and attended monthly street sign committee meetings, and drafted
and sent out response letters to sign requests.
TAYLOR BRAY FARM BOARDWALK — AMERICORPS PROJECT
• Completed field survey, design, permitting, and construction oversight of a boardwalk at
Taylor Bray Farm financed and constructed by Americorps.
• Permitting included Conservation Commission Wetland Order of Conditions, Building
permit, and Old Kings Highway Historic District Commission permit.

Studies.
PARKERS RIVER BRIDGE REPLACEMENT/GRANT
• Applied for and received a CZM Wetlands Restoration Program Grant for initial study
and design assistance to widen the Route 28 Bridge over Parkers River in order to restore
the upstream salt marshes. If constructed the project will likely improve the herring
fisheries as well as improve flushing such that less sewering may be necessary.
• Completed a topographic survey of the low lying areas and obtained septic system
information of the low lying homes abutting Swan Pond as requested by CZM.
• Currently awaiting funding for the next phase of the Parkers River Estuaries Study which
will determine the best opening size for the bridge (also, see DPW Director's discussion
above).

HIGHWAY DIVISION
BUILDINGS/GROUNDS & CEMETERY
JAMES LEFTER, ASSISTANT DPW DIRECTOR
The main functions of the Highway Division are repair and maintenance of our roadway surfaces
including surface treatments, paving, patching holes, berm installation and repair at the edge of
the paved roadway, grading gravel roadways, catch basin cleaning 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 maintenance and repair, roadway line -
painting, special projects and most importantly, responding to snow and ice conditions
throughout the winter.
The Highway Division has had some personnel changes in 2009 Nick Garafolo has been laid off
due to budget cuts but was hired by the Water Department, Donnie Valentine a long time
employee is retiring as of December 31St. Donnie has been one of the Town of Yarmouth's
mechanics/equipment operators for the past 30 years. Best wishes for Donnie and a long
enjoyable retirement.
ROADSIDE MAINTENANCE
The brush cutting, trimming, and roadside mowing continued as usual. This never ending issue
is very labor intensive but is a much needed operation. Due to the budget cuts and the loss of
Nick litter is no longer being picked up on a regular basis. The process of eliminating dirt road
and paving them has stopped due to budget cuts and the high cost of asphalt. The Town did
adopt a policy of only grading private dirt roads once a year.
TRAFFIC SIGNS AND PAVEMENT MARKINGS
The Highway Division's sign section repairs and replaces various traffic signs throughout the
Town including the replacement of concrete street name signs with new metal signs. The Sign
section replaced a large number of street signs that had been stolen or vandalized. Due to the
recent budget cuts no street lines were painted this past year. Cross walks were the only painting
done due to budget cuts. Hopefully this part of the budget will be restored so that all the yellow
centerline and white edge lines may be painted.
VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE
The Highway Division has two full time mechanics responsible for the repair and maintenance of
all the equipment used throughout the year. This includes preventive maintenance, scheduled
servicing, snow and ice equipment repair and the installation of new attachments to existing
trucks or equipment. At times during the winter months the mechanics may need additional help
from the Department and during the slower summer season the mechanics help out the
Department as Heavy Equipment Operators. Due to the budget cuts less equipment is being
replaced and our older equipment needs more and more costly repairs. The Highway Division's
two mechanics are also helping out with maintenance and repair of other Town Department
vehicles.
RESURFACING/OVERLAYS/REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
Due to some major cut back in our RMS budget and our Roads and Sidewalk budget the amount
of annual crack sealing, and chip sealing has been greatly reduced. Almost daily pot hole repair
work continued until the asphalt plants close for the winter. With the lower budgets less new
drainage is being installed and repairs are constant.
216
SNOW AND ICE
In the 2008 - 2009 winter snow and ice season the snow and ice budget was again overspent due
to the low yearly snow and ice budget. The Department put out 3154 tons of sand and 1400 tons
of salt with 9604 gallons of biodegradable ice melt.
TREE DEPARTMENT
This has been the second year with a minimal tree budget. We have been very fortunate that we
have not had any serious problems the Highway Division has a couple of employees out almost
daily trimming trees and cutting down dead trees that they can handle safely.
SWEEPING
The Town eliminated the sweeping budget, so with one aging sweeper we were able to sweep all
the main roads and most secondary mains. No neighborhood roads were swept.
BUILDINGS (FORMERLY STRUCTURES) DIVISION
The Buildings Division is a staff of two employees, Bob Carlson and Richard Court are the
Buildings and Grounds Craftsman, together they have been vigorously working on numerous
projects throughout the Town. The major projects completed by this team include the installation
of an emergency generator to power the Sanitation Division; this will automatically run the gas
and diesel pumps and the Scale House in the event of an emergency. This generator was
relocated from the Simpkins School which is no longer occupied. Also in 2009 the Buildings
Division personnel worked with the contractors on the renovation of the John Simpkins School.
Through the efforts of our employees in assisting the contractor a lot of work was done to
improve the exterior appearance of this former school Building.
Throughout the year, there was a great deal of work performed in an effort to increase the energy
efficiency at our Town owned buildings; Town Hall for example has been given an Energy Star
rating. All of the second floor windows in the Recreation/Chamber of Commerce building were
replaced with high efficiency thermo pane windows as well.
Working with outside contractors we have had a roof and carpets replaced at the South
Yarmouth Library. Carpet was also replaced at the Town Hall Hearing Room and the office area
of the Highway Division. The Division personnel replaced the roof in house at their headquarter
building, the former Station 3 of YFD
During the winter months both men are out plowing with the Highway Division, as well as
keeping the sidewalks at Town Hall and other buildings clear and safe. These projects are
significant accomplishments for a small Division but what has not been listed are the many,
many responses and repairs to all the Town Departments. such as the moving of furniture, the
replacing of lights, restocking copy paper, the set-up of meeting rooms, many HVAC problems.
Interior building painting was accomplished with the assistance of Cemetery and Grounds
personnel. We will continue to do our best to improve the condition of the Town properties and
to assist other Departments with building issues as time permits
The Buildings Division would like to thank all of the other DPW employees for their assistance
on many of these projects.
217
CEMETERY DIVISION
The Cemetery Division is responsible for the care and maintenance of 7 Town owned
cemeteries. The Cemetery office is located at the 507 Buck Island Road, Highway, Buildings and
Grounds/Cemetery building. The Cemetery Division sells and records all deed information for
all burials or cremations in the Town owned cemeteries. The work crew has a steady workload of
cutting, trimming, fertilizing, and plantings that are ongoing. This Department also takes care of
most of its own mechanical needs repairing it lawnmowers and other equipment. During 2009
there were 82 burials in Town owned cemeteries. Included in this figure are 35 cremation
burials. There were a total of 22 lots sold this year, with an additional 15 given to veterans at no
charge. During the slower times at the cemetery, labor forces are working with other
Departments on indoor repair and maintenance projects such as painting and small construction
work.
As part of the guidelines of a "Conceptual Site Plan" for Chandler Gray Cemetery created in
April, 1996, land was cleared, roadways defined, and other areas were expanded in the existing
areas creating about 200 additional lots. At Ancient Cemetery, a road relocation project led to the
building of a stone wall in the back area since so many stones were uncovered during this
activity. The wall work continues as grave excavation uncovers more stones. The two large U. S.
Flags, one at the Chandler Gray Cemetery entrance circle and the other centrally located in
Chandler Gray Cemetery's Veterans Sections G, are now lighted in the evening. Painting of
horizontal railing between the granite vertical posts which fence our cemeteries was initiated
again following an absence of some years.
Grounds (formerly Park) Division
This past year was still productive for the Grounds Division, in spite of budget cuts and
elimination of most of our seasonal grounds staff. With the help from the Highway and Building
Divisions, we were, on the most part, able to keep up with the usual maintenance, repairs and
upkeep of our beaches and parks.
The Grounds Division was able to complete some much needed projects: At Peter Homer Park
(formerly Old Townhouse Park) we converted a little league field into a girls softball field. This
was accomplished by removing the sod infield and replacing with a clay infield. This enabled
more use of the field by programs rented out by the Recreation Department.
For our beaches we built 4 new lifeguard towers for the Recreation Department that were placed
at Dennis Pond, Bass Hole, Bass River Beach and Parker's River Beach. The old towers were
becoming unsafe for use. We also replaced the boardwalk leading to the gazebo at Parker's River
Beach. This past fall at Sandy Pond we top dressed and reseeded the soccer field which had
become run down from use by all of our youth groups. The restroom buildings at South Middle
Beach, Flax Pond and Sandy Pond Recreation areas had new acrylic floors installed by the
Grounds staff, as well as adding lights in the South Middle Beach restroom building.
With the purchase of a trash compactor truck through Capital Budget, we were able to continue
to remove trash from our beaches and parks on a daily basis with the reduction of staff and save
the Town money by removing trash from Town buildings, which was contracted out in the past.
The work crew had a busy year with the maintenance of all the beaches, playgrounds, lawn care
and park facilities. Running seven days a week for fourteen (14) weeks, keeping all the booth
attendants on schedule, picking up rubbish once a day and extended hours of the restrooms , is
very time consuming and labor intensive.
218
1
In the winter months, the Grounds Division employees are involved in working with the
Highway Division. The Grounds Division assists with plowing and when available will work on
joint building maintenance projects. The rest of the time is spent doing outside projects such as
clearing brush in areas around park and recreational facilities and the reconstruction and repairs
of floating docks, life guard stands and numerous signs at Town recreation/beach facilities.
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 household garbage and recyclables. Second is the
Compost Area where leaves, grass and small pruning are deposited so they can be processed into
compost on site. Third is the Scale Area where any paying customer can deposit 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 another good
season. in 2009 with few problems and a lot of satisfied customers. This facility is run by
volunteers and is not operated by Town employees. With technical assistance from the firm of
CDM Inc.(formerly known as Camp, Dresser, and McKee) we oversee the gas -collection system
beneath the Landfill cap; air quality, groundwater monitoring and impervious liner cap of the
former landfill that was closed in 1997 and is now 7 holes of the Links course at Bayberry Hills.
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
enormous amount of leaves, grass and shrub clippings that come in during the year. The staff
used to water and turn the compost rows every four to six weeks year round. This was done to
help the compost break down more efficiently. Due to deep cuts in the composting and recycling
budget compost is now turned every ten to twelve weeks creating a smaller volume and a less
desirable product. We save fuel cost by less Front end loader run time this way.
We continue to remove a substantial amount of mercury bearing products. Due to budget
considerations we did not hold a hazardous waste collection in 2009 with the Yarmouth Board of
Health, the Town of Barnstable Solid Waste Division or the Barnstable County Hazardous
Materials Program. We intend to hold a collection day in 2010 with SEMASS/Covanta,
Barnstable County and Yarmouth Water Division providing the funding.
This Division, along with The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection and our
surrounding Towns continue to work together seeking regional solutions for all of our recycling
and solid waste needs. 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 volumes that were removed in 2009.
Antifreeze 500 gallons Household Waste 9063 tons
Auto Batteries 9.22 tons Magazines 8782.44 tons
Brush 1038.76 tons Metals 660.26 tons
219
CFC's/HFC's 11.4 units Motor Oil 3725 gallons
Cathode Ray Tubes 1305 units Paper 555.5 tons
Commingle _ 487.51 tons Propane Tanks 315 units
Construction 7537 tons Textiles+ 129.22 tons
Cardboard 308.23 tons Tires 26.23 tons
5 ¢ Returnables+ 47.32 tons
Due to necessary changes in the Disposal Area's budget, it is now only open until 11:30 on legal
holidays with the exceptions of, New Year's Day, July 4t11, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day
when the facility is closed. 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 in the Towns of Yarmouth and
Barnstable, as well as commercial waste from all over the Barnstable County. This waste is
received in a variety of commercial collection vehicles only, as residents are not allowed to
access this facility.
With the economic slow down and the recent competition from the Bourne Landfill, the YBTS
has endured a 20,000 ton annual total drop in commercial waste received over the last three
years. 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 4th, Thanksgiving
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 Rochester MA. During
2009 the station shipped 70,717.45 tons, using 1,316 railcars and 137 trucks.
I would like to thank my staff at both facilities for their excellent work and commitment to the
Town and its residents. They work well together and move an exceptional amount of material
every day to off Cape destinations. I am proud of what we have been able to continue to
accomplish in these trying economic times.

Yarmouth Water's Mission Statement:
The Yarmouth Water Division is committed to serving the needs of Yarmouth's residents,
businesses, and visitors by providing high-quality drinking water while providing for future
220
1
economic growth via progressive planning. We are also committed to creating a satisfying, safe,
and productive work environment where a philosophy of win-win is the imbedded culture.
By DEP regulation, the Water Division staff is on -duty 24/7. The staff is available at all times to
serve and protect the public. We are a dedicated collection of highly motivated and conscientious
individuals -proud -to be delivering 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
Citizens of Yarmouth for their support and assistance during 2009. Additionally we welcome to
our Water Division staff water technicians Bob Court and Matthew Allen, and front office staff
person Maryann Berla.
We pumped a total of 1,145.6 million gallons of water to the residents of Yarmouth during the
calendar year 2009 as compared to 1,316.7 million gallons for the year 2008. Water production
decreased during 2009 by 13%. That is 171.1 million less gallons than was pumped in 2008.
The decrease in water production was in part due to the very rainy and wet month of July, and
trying economic conditions. The peak day was on 8/19/2009 when 7,243,931 gallons were
pumped. The peak week occurred the 3rd week of August when 48.4 million gallons were
pumped, and the peak month was August when 181.3 million gallons were pumped.
Rainfall measured was 49.4 -inches. This amount of rain equates to 21.9 billion gallons of water
falling on the Town of Yarmouth replenishing our water supply. We pumped from the ground
1.1 billion gallons equivalent to 2.6 — inches of rainfall. Yarmouth as an entity continues to be
most favored in its abundance of water resources.
The Division continues with our many programs including; Inspection and testing of backflow
devices, inspection and maintenance of hydrants, water main leak detection, Water Meter
Replacement Program and the on-going DEP mandated Water Sampling Program which ensures
the quality of our potable water. The Division has continued the Pump Station Rehabilitation
Program wherein all the public water supply wells and associated structures will be
reconditioned and modernized. Presently the structures and associated equipment have
outperformed their useful life expectancy. This program is addressing the issue. We are also
proud to have completed two water main projects. A 12 inch transmission water main was
installed under Center Street. This upgrade allows for greater fire flow protection to our
residents past the outer reaches of Homers Dock Road. A second transmission main was
installed along Knob Hill Road. This second new installation provides for flow thru circulation
of the water mains to Mayflower Terrace, Wild Rose, Butter Cup, and the Azalea region of
Town.
RECYCLING & SOLID WASTE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
JOSEPH SARNOSKY, CHAIRMAN
The Recycling and Solid Waste Advisory Committee (RASWAC) started 2009 by reviewing and
preparing an agenda of projects and goals as a response to the Board of Selectmen annual
committee charge memorandum. They met with the Selectmen where future activities were
discussed such as Yarmouth Pride Day to clean up roadsides. ' The re -visiting of prior ideas
included Pay as You Throw, (P.A.Y.T.) and the continued encouragement of independent
recycling programs to businesses and residents alike.
221
Early in the year RASWAC initiated a meeting with the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School
Superintendent Carol Woodbury to discuss the schools' current recycling activities and to offer
the committee's assistance. Two meetings were held; one in January and one in April, both were
very productive. The committee was encouraged and offered continued cooperation and
assistance to the School Department. For example, assistance with contract writing to include
recycling collection and transportation was offered. Rob Angell, Waste Management
Superintendent also worked with the M. E. Small School to collect recycled paper on a weekly
basis. In December, it was reported that they are working towards making arrangements for a
second collection per week, due to the program's success.
It should also be noted that the Waste Management Division (WMD) also collects recyclables
from the St. Pius School buildings on a regular basis. Paper recycling is also increasing in most
Town buildings (Water, Fire, Town Hall, Libraries, and Police). Some is collected by WMD
personnel and other departments bring it to the Disposal Area on their own. The committee is
greatly encouraged by this and thanks Rob for his efforts in this endeavor.
RASWAC stayed current on the activities surrounding negotiations with SEMASS, a solid waste
to electric energy facility, as the end of the long term contract is drawing near. Andrea Adams, a
RASWAC member and Cape Cod Commission employee, kept us up to date, along with Rob
Angell, who has been representing Yarmouth at CC Commission Solid Waste meetings where
options for disposal are formulated. As 2009 drew near end the Cape Cod Commission was
working with a solid waste consultant who is reviewing the Cape's needs and will recommend
waste disposal options available to the Towns. Their recommendation is due early in 2010.
SEMASS has been trying to negotiate early contracts with Cape Towns to set a rate that will
increase incrementally until the current 2014 expiration date. Most of the Cape Towns have
been slow to respond and are researching alternative, less costly options thus the involvement of
the Cape Cod Commission via their solid waste consultant.
Late in the year the committee agreed that they should again research the P.A.Y.T option.
Taking the pending SEMASS contract expiration and the current economic climate it appears
advantageous to look at the numbers again. The committee plans to undertake this project early
in 2010. At that point more information will be available, the results of the Cape Cod
Commission's current waste disposal options study should be available as well as the proposed
operations budget for the Waste Management Division.
RASWAC members attended D.E.P. meetings held through the year on topics such as solar
powered trash compactors for recreation areas; Rob Angell attended a Mass Recycles meeting on
legal disposal electronic waste; Chairman Sarnosky reviewed grant availability; and reviewed the
proposed expanded Bottle Bill. The members continue to keep informed on the ever changing
markets, technology and handling of many recycled materials.
During 2009 one member resigned, Julie Bender. We thank Julie for her contribution and work
while on the committee. Her D.E.P. background was very helpful. We welcomed a new
member, Doug Wade, and hope that he will enjoy being a part of this committee. Our continued
thanks to Rob Angell for his diligence, support and informative contribution to the committee.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph Sarnosky, RASWAC Chairman Michael Brats
Andrea Adams William "Doug" Wade

BARNSTABLE COUNTY ASSEMBLY OF DELEGATES
The Assembly of Delegates is the legislative branch of County Government. Each Town in
Barnstable County is duly represented in the Assembly with Delegates elected by the voters in
each of the municipalities where they reside for a two year term. The Assembly of Delegates
hold regular meetings on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 4:00 p.m. in the
Chamber of the Assembly of Delegates, First District Court House, Barnstable, MA. A
Delegate's vote is a weighted vote based on the 2000 U.S. Decennial Census.
During FY2009, the Assembly of Delegates reviewed and adopted, with amendments, the Board
of County Commissioners' proposed budget for FY2010. After receipt of the proposed budget
standing committees of the Assembly met with Department Managers and discussed the goals
and accomplishment of each Department and analyzed how reductions in their budgets would
affect services to the Towns. The Standing Committee on Finance noted that there were two
major factors in the proposed budget that they viewed as being problematic. One was that in
order to balance the proposed budget, the County Commissioners included an increase in the
deeds excise tax. The other concern was that one million dollars might be needed to pay for the
Sheriff's retirees' health insurance, which was not funded in the proposed budget due to pending
legislation whereby the County Sheriff would become a part of State government. Committee
members were not in favor of increasing the tax without first looking at further reductions in the
budget and also at possible reforms. Committee members were concerned that if the legislation
regarding the Sheriff's Department did not pass, the County would be required to fund the
million dollars and they wanted assurance that the County would be in a position to make the
necessary expenditures. At the public hearing on the proposed budget, the Standing Committee
on Finance head significant testimony about potential budget cuts and the impact that further cuts
would have on the County's ability to provide important services to the Towns. The Committee
also heard from numerous real estate agents who believed that the proposed increase to the deeds
excise tax would have a negative effect on real estate transactions. Recommendations from the
Finance Committee to the Assembly of Delegates were based, in part, on information received at
the public hearing, as well as information gathered " in Committee and received from other
standing Committees. Prior to adopting the FY2010 budget, further budget cuts were considered
and then voted in addition to reductions that were already reflected in the proposed budget. The
Assembly of Delegates also voted to increase the Deeds Excise Tax from $1.14 to $1.36.
The Assembly of Delegates voted to amend Chapter A, Code of Cape Cod Commission
Regulations of General Application, and the proposed revisions were in two categories: 1)
technical change that involved definitions, DRI thresholds and procedures; and 2) the
incorporations of the Limited DRI review process, as recommended by the 21st Century Task
Force. The Assembly of Delegates voted to amend the Code of Cape Cod Commission
Regulations of General Application, Chapter D, Development Agreement Regulations.
Development Agreements are voluntary, binding contracts that assure applicable development
review regulations will not change over the necessary construction period of a project. The
purpose of the proposed changes was to further define the process where the Commission is a
party and also incorporated DRI review into the Development Agreement process, which
provided due process rights as they exist now under the DRI review.
After returning two ordinances to the Cape Cod Commission for redrafting and restudy, the
Assembly adopted an ordinance that added Chapter H to the Code of Cape Cod Commission
Regulations of General Application. Chapter H establishes a procedure whereby Towns that
have adopted maps will be able to raise or lower thresholds, depending upon the area where the
project is located. The Regional Policy Plan contains a Regional Land Use Vision Map that
225
identifies the Towns' economic centers, industrial areas, village centers, resource protection
areas, and other areas that are primarily residential. Within each mapped areas, thresholds could
have various ranges. The intent is to have a streamlined process where the Town's Planning
Board and Board of Selectmen, with a majority vote of each Board can request a change in
thresholds and then by a majority vote by the Cape Cod Commission the thresholds would go 4
into effect. Threshold changes would not require a separate vote by the Assembly of Delegates.
An ordinance was also adopted amending Chapter A to reflect the addition of Chapter H.
An ordinance was adopted for a supplemental appropriation to fund 911/CMED (Centralized
Medical Emergency Dispatch) in the amount of $50,000. The Sheriff's Department operates
CMED through the County's Communication Center. The Department is not getting
compensated for the service and reached a point where financial assistance was needed to
maintain this service. Cape Cod Health Care also contributed money. The Assembly adopted a
Resolution that was sent to the State Delegation urging them to find a dedicated revenue source
for CMED, as all Fire Departments in the County use this service.
At least every five years, the Assembly establishes a special committee that is charged with the
responsibility of reviewing the Barnstable County Home Rule Charter and the Ordinances of
Barnstable County, to determine if any amendments or revisions are necessary or desirable. The
Charter Review Committee began meeting in October, 2009 and will make their
recommendations to the Assembly of Delegates in April, 2010.

BARNSTABLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
I as your representative, attended eleven out of twelve Airport Commission meetings this past
year. During the meetings I represented Yarmouth's interest on a list of important issues such as
noise abatements, airport safety issues and control of pollution. I also participated in the
discussions on the proposed expansion of the airport terminal. While I am still not a full voting
member of the Commission I 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:
• Continue to monitor residential development at aircraft beacon just off 6A near
Peterson's Market.
■ Continue to be involved in noise study. Results to be determined in 2010.
■ Attended Airport Sub -Committee concerning environmental issues and follow-up on
water tests at ponds on airport (Upper Gate and Lewis)
■ I was appointed to review and recommend applicants for the new Airport Manager.
I have regularly reported back to the Board of Selectmen on activities at Barnstable Municipal
Airport. My role has been and will continue to be to represent the citizens of the Town of
Yarmouth and their interests before the Airport Commission.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert L. Howard
Yarmouth Representative to Barnstable Airport Commission

CABLE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The committee works with the Assistant Town Administrator to monitor compliance with the
Town's cable television license. Our principal function is the negotiation of the renewal license
and the resolution of problems 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 continues to play an advisory role in negotiating a renewal of the existing cable
television license with Comcast. The negotiations began in 2008 and continue into 2010. The
Town is participating in a consortium with 6 other Towns to jointly negotiate with Comcast on
renewal terms. Those Towns are Chatham, Dennis, Falmouth, Harwich, Mashpee and Sandwich.
This collaboration has enabled us to reduce the Town's legal expenses and staff time and we
hope to gain greater leverage with Comcast by representing a larger pool of consumers. In the
end, each Town will execute its own contract with Comcast.
The issues addressed in the cable television license include retention of the customer service
office and financial support for the local access cable channels. Under Federal Law, the Town
has no authority to regulate many of the issues of greatest concern to cable customers including
pricing and the selection of channels and commercial programs included in the standard cable
service package or any other package. Our goal is to attain sufficient funding to enable us to
continue and improve upon the programming provided on Channel 17 (Public access channel
operated by Cape Cod Community Media Center on behalf of 5 Cape Towns) Channel 18 (Town
channel run by Town employees) and Channel 22 (Education Channel run by the Dennis -
Yarmouth School District).
The committee would also like to remind Yarmouth residents that you have access to video
production equipment and training on how to use the equipment through the Cape Cod
Community Media Center located at 307 White's Path in South Yarmouth. This facility exists to
help local individuals and organizations produce their own video and to cablecast programming
created by community members. For more information, visit the website

CAPE LIGHT COMPACT
TOWN OF YARMOUTH ACTIVITIES
The Cape Light Compact was formed in 1997 following 2 years of study and votes of Town
Boards of Selectmen and Town Council. It is organized through a formal 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 participating municipality has a
representative on the Compact Governing Board which sets policy and works with staff,
technical and legal support to advance the Cape Light Compact programs.
POWER SUPPLY
In 2009, the Cape Light Compact (Compact) provided energy to residents and businesses in
accordance with a competitive electricity supply contract negotiated by the Compact with
ConEdison Solutions. Oil and natural gas prices were extremely volatile in 2008 with oil hitting
its peak in July and then falling precipitously. Prices for 2009 were largely locked -in, in late
2008 when energy markets had decreased significantly from their peaks in July of 2008. Natural
gas, electricity, and other energy prices continued to trend down in 2009. While the Compact's
prices in 2009 did not reflect this (due to locking in prices at the end of 2008), 2010 prices will
reflect this decrease. The Compact is actively pursuing strategies to stabilize prices at these
attractive 2010 levels. As of December 2009 the Compact had 12,611 electric accounts in the
Town of Yarmouth on its energy supply.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
From January to October 2009, rebates and other efficiency incentive programs provided to the
Town by the Compact totaled approximately $419,496 and brought savings to 1,034 participants
of $209,077 or about 1,045,386 kilowatt-hours of energy saved for 2009. 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:
• Two fire Department facilities, the Y -D Septage Plant, Library Association, Habitat for
Humanity and Town Hall participated in the Cape Light Compact Small Government
retrofit program for lighting upgrades, occupancy sensors and setback thermostats.
■ Two new hotels/motels received an assessment of energy efficiency opportunities in their
new construction project. 26 businesses received financial incentives for their energy
efficiency retrofit measures, including energy efficient cooler controls, door heater

ENERGY COMMITTEE
WIND ENERGY
A survey, mailed out with the Town's water bills, showed a strong 92% support for both wind
and solar Town projects. Five potential wind turbine sites, on Town land were proposed and will
continue to be evaluated. A wind date meteorological (MET) Tower was erected at the Water
Division Headquarters Site in mid August. Data will be collected to validate the wind potential at
this and other Town sites by UMASS/Amherst's Renewable Energy Research Lab. A feasibility
study grant application for the Water Division site was made to the Massachusetts Renewable
Energy Trust in November. This study will take into consideration the requirements of the
proposed wastewater treatment facility at this site in addition to one or two wind turbines. FAA
approval of wind turbine height has been an issue across the Cape. Letters have been exchanged
with Rep. Delahunt's office seeking his support in assuring that the most productive and cost
effective turbines are approved. Coordination was maintained with the DY Regional High
School wind turbine study committee; MET tower data is being shared, and their Acoustic Study
Report was reviewed.
RESIDENTIAL WIND ENERGY TURBINES (RWET)
Joyce Flynn, representing the Energy Committee, participated in a joint effort with other Town
and community members to draft a RWET proposed bylaw. The bylaw will be brought to Town
Meeting for review, comment and action.
CAPE & VINEYARD ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE
The Selectmen voted to join the Cooperative following Annual Town Meeting and subsequent
hearings. The formal application to join will be acted on at the Cooperative's January 2010
meeting. Cooperative member ship will provide the Town with favorable funding opportunities
for energy projects and also opportunities to purchase energy directly in the marketplace via the
Cooperative. Steve Gavin will represent the Town on the Cooperative's Board of Directors.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
The Committee monitored Town energy usage by site and meter, thanks to the continuing efforts
of Charlotte Striebel. The Town Administration, particularly George Allaire uses this
information to make improvements, modify usage behavior and measure performance. Energy
usage at the Town Hall was reduced 44%, and costs reduced 35% despite increased utility rates.
229
Efforts during 2010 will continue to look at the Police Department Headquarters; a PPA funded
tri -generation (electric power, heat and air conditioning capabilities) concept will be explored.
SOLAR ENERGY
The good news regarding solar energy is that the Town Hall photovoltaic (PV) panel array was
increased by approximately 2.12 kW to match the full capacity of the existing inverter. Town
Hall PV array was partially funded through rebates. A second 5.46 kW panel array was placed on
the Town Recreation/Chamber of Commerce Building. This PV project was fully funded by
Clean Energy Choice Money and MTC Rebates.
Town Hall:
12.62 kW Cost: $111,008
Reimbursement = $39,830 MTC SRI Grant + $8,640 MTC Rebate
Rec/COC:
5.46 kW Cost: $43,417
Reimbursement: $20,295 Clean Energy Choice + $23,122 MTC PV Rebate
The bad news is that the Commonwealth unexpectedly ran out of matching funds right at the
time bids were received to install a large 200 kW solar array at the Water Treatment Facility.
This news came with no warning, either to the Town or to the solar industry. This effort was to
be funded by a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with a solar company with no outlay of Town
funds. The solar company receives tax benefits unavailable to the Town, and the Town receives
favorable and stable electric rates and ultimate project ownership is 15 years. This effort will
definitely be pursued in 2010 when the Commonwealth provides new funding.
COMMITTEE COMPOSITION
Our thanks to DPW Director, George Allaire, our consultant, for his dedication to the committee
and his ability to help us move forward. The entire Committee (Brian-Braginton-Smith, Lee
Britton, Edward Bullock, Joyce Flynn, Stephen Gavin- Chairman, Evelyn Hayes, John Howard,
Vice -Chairman, Robert Palmeri, Secretary, Charlotte Striebel, and Edward Voelker) will
continue its efforts through the coming years.
We wish to thank departing Committee members Charlotte Striebel, an Energy Committee
founding member, & Evelyn Hayes for their many contributions.
INTEGRATED WATER RESOURCES
PLANNING COMMITTEE
The Committee received the Massachusetts Estuaries Project (MEP) report for Parkers River
ecological health and the results were not good. In fact, a fish kill in July 2009 demonstrated how
close this water body is to disaster. This report just reinforced the fact that the Town needs to get
into the wastewater collection and treatment business to reduce the amount of nitrogen entering
the estuaries of Yarmouth. The Committee came to this conclusion after receiving the Lewis Bay
MEP report in the fall of 2007. The nitrogen comes from the number of septic systems
discharging nitrogen to the ground water in the watershed contributing to the tidal water bodies.
Once the nitrogen gets into the tidal water body, since nitrogen is a major component of fertilizer
it makes algae grow which robs the water of oxygen and harms the wildlife living in it. We are
thankful for the support the Committee received at Annual Town Meeting 2008 and the
following debt exclusion vote at the polls when $3.1 million borrowing was approved to begin
the design and permitting of Yarmouth's initial sewer system. Maps of the Phase 1 sewer area
230
can be reviewed at Town Hall, the Town's 3 libraries and the Senior Center. Phase 1 basically
covers Route 28 and some adjacent areas, from the Barnstable Town line to Parkers River.
We began 2009 by meeting with Town officials from Barnstable in January to discuss the results
of the MEP report for Lewis Bay since both Towns share this watershed. Through the MEP
report, Yarmouth had the scientist at the School of Marine Science and Technologies (SMAST)
at UMASS Dartmouth, include information, which assumed most of West Yarmouth was
sewered into a computer run which showed the affects this sewering may have on meeting a
target nitrogen figure in Lewis Bay. Unfortunately sewering most of West Yarmouth was not
enough to meet the target reduction in nitrogen. As a result we began discussions with the Town
of Barnstable to determine what they would be doing in Barnstable to extend sewers in their
portion of the Lewis Bay Watershed that would help meet the target for nitrogen reduction in the
Bay.
Additionally, to insure we investigated the most cost effective way of providing wastewater
collection and treatment we initiated more technical conversations of utilizing the Barnstable
Waste Water Treatment Facility (WWTF) to service portions of West Yarmouth. Our consultant,
CDM Inc. met with Stearns & Wheeler, Barnstable's Waste Water consultant, to work out the
technical and cost details for Yarmouth using the Barnstable Wastewater Treatment Facility
(WWTF) by pumping several areas of West Yarmouth to and thru Barnstable. The end result of
this exercise is it would cost more (between $13 -14 Million) in capital cost to use the Barnstable
WWTF as opposed to using a new WWTF in Yarmouth. The Committee met in May to review
the regional connection to Barnstable and all agreed this option was not cost effective.
In their July meeting members discussed betterments and discussed how to handle hardship
requests from Matt Zurowick, Yarmouth Assessor. We now know not to schedule meetings in
the busy summer season. The Assessor has handled matters such as these for many years and
gave the Committee some tips on how to handle reduced betterment cost but advised someone
has to pay. Basically, reduced betterments costs for hardship cases, translates to increases to all
others who don't get a reduction and this needs to be factored in early.
The MEP report for Parkers River, at the request of the Committee, included an analysis of
widening the bridge over Parkers River at Route 28 after early reports indicated improved
flushing of the upper reaches of the estuary would most likely occur. Further flushing analysis
indicated the area to be collected and treated, in this watershed, could be reduced if the bridge
could be expanded in width from 18 to 30 feet. While the cost of bridge replacement is pegged at
$4 million, it also presents a traffic challenge during the construction involved in replacing this
bridge. More flooding analysis needs to be undertaken and we are working with Jeremy Bell
from the State's Coastal Zone Management, Wetlands Restoration Program to fund this
endeavor.
In August the Conservation Law Foundation (CLF) requested a meeting to check on progress
being made by the Town in addressing estuary water quality. We demonstrated to the CLF that
we have been progressing as quickly as possible as we await the scientific data from SMAST
through the MEP reports. Thankfully the citizens already had authorized the design and
permitting for Phase 1 of Yarmouth's initial sewer system, so the lawyers left somewhat satisfied
with our approach and progress. We suspect they will turn their attention to the regulatory
agencies, EPA and the Department of Environmental Protection, who are using the Federal
Clean Water Act to set Total Daily Maximum Loads (TMDL) limits for watersheds of estuaries
with nitrogen, the primary contaminant to be addressed.
231
The Board of Selectmen were given an update on progress in the wastewater program with Dr.
Brian Howes from SMAST and David Young from CDM,Inc. The current schedule calls for the
planning process in developing the Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan to be
completed by the end of this coming year, 2010. Once completed it must be submitted to the
Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) Office, Department of Environmental
Protection and the Cape Cod Commission for review, comment and eventual approval. Design
and permitting of Phase 1 sewers will be completed in early 2011 with appropriations for
construction sought at Annual Town Meeting spring 2011. If funding is approved for phase 1
construction, wastewater should begin to flow in 2013 when the treatment Facility and the Phase
1 collection system go on line.
The Committee will be working on public outreach and better definition of betterments with
public input to determine how best to pay for this undertaking. Please keep in mind that without
good water quality in the Cape's surrounding waters, what will your property be worth in the
future. The Committee feels this matter of water quality should be addressed sooner rather than
later to keep the Cape a special place for us and our visitors.

PERSONNEL BOARD
The Personnel Board is an advisory Board to the Board of Selectmen and the Town
Administrator. It is comprised of five members, one of whom is appointed by the Finance
Committee. The Board's duties include: Recommending personnel policies, procedures and
regulations for non-union personnel; Approving the content and format of all job descriptions
subject to collective bargaining where applicable; Acting on requests for changes in pay
classifications for permanent positions; acting on requests to modify pay rates for seasonal and
temporary positions; and 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 reviews 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.
232
The Personnel Board's busy season is usually during the spring through fall. Again this year, the
financial problems of the Town continued to impact the workload of the Town Administrator's
office in such a manner that it was impossible to prepare the necessary paperwork for meetings
(see above paragraph for the procedure.) However, during the four meetings held the Board
reviewed and acted upon requests for the positions, of Financial Assistant — Collector's Office
and Financial Assistant - Treasurer's Office, and the Evidence Technician/Office Assistant in
the Police Department. In addition, the position of Principal Office Assistant in the Police
Department was reviewed and recommended changes in the position description are pending
review by the Personnel Board.
Although the program to recognize the efforts and contributions of volunteer Committee
members was again eliminated in the budget, the event was held this year due to the Chamber of
Commerce soliciting food donations from local restaurants. The employee award dinner at
which individuals are recognized for their years of service was held. These programs were
intended to help maintain the high level of volunteerism the Town continues to benefit from and
to renew the dedication of our paid staff. The Personnel Board thanks the volunteers and
employees for their continued dedication and service as well as the Chamber of Commerce and
the local restaurants who contributed the food for the volunteer breakfast.
Ms. Burkhardt and Mr. Sullivan continued in the roles of 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.

TOWN SCHOLARSHIP FUND COMMITTEE
Since being established by the Yarmouth Board of Selectmen in 1992, the Scholarship Fund
Committee has awarded 373 young men and women of this Town with scholarships in order to
assist them with their college education.
This year, the committee awarded $10,800 in 27 scholarships for amounts of $300, $400 and
$500. Scholarships are awarded to Yarmouth residents for undergraduate education and are
based on academic achievement, financial need and school and community involvement.
Funds for these scholarships are provided by the generous donations of Yarmouth taxpayers who
are invited to contribute when paying their property tax and water bills. Additional funds come
from the trust income of the Frederick Howes Educational Fund, the Ellen Chase Scholarship
Fund and the James Knowles Scholarship Fund.
The Board of Selectmen is responsible for appointing the five -member Scholarship Fund
Committee which is comprised of a Selectmen's representative (Bud Groskopf), the D -Y
Superintendent of Schools (Carol Woodbury), and 3 Town residents; John Mincieli, Sandy
Rubenstein, and Sandi Femino, chairperson.
233
In June, Sandi Femino resigned from the committee. She will be replaced by Anne Grazewski,
with John Mincieli serving as the new chairperson. We would like to thank Sandi for her many
years of outstanding service and commitment to the Town.
WOODS HOLE MARTHA'S VINEYARD
AND NANTUCKET STEAMSHIP AUTHORITY
As the authorized representative of the Town of Yarmouth on the Steamship Authority Board I
have had introductory meetings with the administration at the Steamship Authority and attended
both Port Council and Board meetings. The Authority is currently very busy with water side port
facility improvement projects in Hyannis, and Oak Bluffs and a new monopole dolphin being
installed for Woods Hole in support of their primary mission to provide the lifeline for the
Islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. The Steamship Board is also in favor of including
the hosting of real time environmental monitoring technology supplied by the Lewis Bay
Research Center, The Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies and a regional coastal science
collaborative to monitor in near real time condition, collect and archive scientific data on the
water quality from Hyannis Inner Harbor across Nantucket Sound and into to Nantucket Harbor
at the same time. This clearly shows their support and stewardship of our coastal waters. We
can be proud of both the excellent job being done by the Steamship Authority, in a fine maritime
tradition and grateful for their help with this important mission. Clearly their mission
transporting goods and passengers is a priority, but in today's world we must also recognize our
role as stewards to protect and preserve our precious natural resources for our communities today
and for future generations. I would also like to report that the Steamship Authority Staff have
been professional and downright friendly, with Mr. Wayne Lamson being particularly helpful in
assisting me in understanding the Authority, their enabling legislation and mission and my
unique situation regarding it. He is truly an asset to the authority and the Cape and Island
Community.
Upon review of the originating documents and contemplation of the present reality 50 years after
the original legislation, I am forced to consider the importance and value of a review of the
Authority mission priorities as they relate to the sustainable use of our marine environment and
the matter of official recognition with an appropriately weighted vote for the Town of Yarmouth
on the Authority Board. My unique perspective of being the official -unofficial Town
representative provides a unique and beneficial perspective on the topic of the importance of a
Yarmouth vote with the Steamship Authority Board. I believe that it is beyond the time when
such issues as the stewardship of the water bodies which are utilized to convey the vessels of the
Authority are considered as part of their operating statement, not just a temporary gesture. These
impacts are a significant issue in the argument for Town of Yarmouth involvement on the Board
as part of the shared stewardship of Lewis Bay with our regional partners in Barnstable and by
virtue of Yarmouth submerged lands therein. I would ask that the Selectmen request the
Yarmouth Legislative Delegation to begin to investigate this process, while also reaching out to
other communities presently involved with the authority to better understand their perspective to
facilitate collaborative progress on these important issues.

VETERAN'S SERVICES
2009 has been an extremely difficult and most challenging year for Veterans' services due to the
economic conditions and the ever expanding conflicts overseas. The demand for Veterans'
benefits has increased tenfold in the last 2 %2 years.
Throughout the district we have seen over 6,000 walk-ins inquiring about their Veterans benefits
on all levels, from the Federal, State and Local levels.
To make it easier on the Veteran seeking some assistance we try and be a one-stop center for all
their needs and the staff has worked extremely hard to provide the assistance to accomplish our
goal of being the one-stop center.
During 2009 we saw over 6,000 veterans seeking some assistance, we obtained over $30,000,000
in Federal benefits from the VA for the Veterans in the District and we spent over $700,000 in
Local assistance to needy Veterans under the Chapter 115 program in the District.
We encourage any veteran or dependent of a veteran to seek our services and we can be reached
at 1-888-778-8701 Monday through Friday from 8:30am — 4:30pm. We can also schedule
appointments in one of our offices, in the Town Hall, at your home or any location that is best
for you.
We are anxious and willing to assist you with any of your Veterans needs so please contact us.

CAPE COD REGIONAL TECHNICAL
HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT
Cape Cod Regional Technical High School was established in 1973 as a public technical high
school and provides an opportunity to acquire high quality technical and social skills preparing
students for success in our changing world. For our school year 2008-2009, we had 703 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 $11,903, 693.
• Cape Cod Regional Technical High School graduated 158 students in June of 2009.
• In addition to our renewable energy program, our tri-generation system has saved the
district over $160,000 this past year. This new concept demonstrates Cape Cod Tech's
commitment to reducing annual energy consumption and that we are doing everything we
can to reduce our energy costs.
■ Capital improvements for the FY09 included repaving of Cape Cod Tech's roadways and
parking lots phase 1 and the installation of a security and camera surveillance system
with the help of a $50,000 Department of Justice grant through the Harwich Police
Department.
• Due to a lack of enrollment over the last 5 years, the Masonry Program was closed.
• This was quite a year for two of our Science Instructors, Charlie Bresnahan and Lynn
Fleischer. Mr. Bresnahan was recognized for Outstanding Leadership in Energy
Education by three prestigious organizations: Cape Light Compact, The Barnstable
County Commission and the Commonwealth of Massachusetss House of Representatives.
Both Science teachers and Cape Cod Tech were recognized by the Commonwealth and
received the 2009 Secretary's Award for Excellence in Energy and Environmental
Education. The House of Representatives further recognized Cape Cod Tech's
Environmental Studies/Tech Prep Program and the Renewable Energy Education and
Awareness Program. Two of our Administrators were asked to present our energy
initiatives at a National conference in Arizona last fall.
• Ski11sUSA is a National organization serving students enrolled in technical programs.
This year our students brought home 3 gold, 5 silver and 11 bronze medals in the district
competition (all 3 gold medal winners are from the Town of Barnstable); 2 gold, 3 silver
and 3 bronze in the State competition; and in the National competition, we brought home
a bronze medal in Marine Service Technology and first place in the 2009 National
Sustainability Solutions Competition. In addition, 6 students received a first place in the
Agri-Science Fair at the Future Farmers of America (FFA) State Convention.
• Cape Cod Tech provides money saving projects for our district and community and these
projects not only save thousands of dollars but also provide our students with real life
work experience in a supervised setting. For the 2008-2009 school year, the total
estimated value of the savings to our sending Towns from work completed by Cape
Tech's technical shops was in excess of $900,000.

DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT
COMMITTEE
JAMES R. DYKEMAN, JR., SCHOOL COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN
The Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District is responsible for providing a quality education
for students from both Dennis and Yarmouth. A little known fact is the District now has the
highest poverty rate on Cape Cod. We continue to move forward in reaching the goal of the No
Child Left Behind legislation, as well as the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment
System) scores, with some pitfalls along the way. The dropout rate continues to decline.
The Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committee is very much aware of the tough economic
times faced by Dennis and Yarmouth, and we are trying to work with both Towns to achieve the
lowest possible budget, while still maintaining a quality education for our students. These
students are our communities' most precious asset, and they hopefully will become our future
leaders. Eighty four percent of last year's high school graduating class went onto college. (Fifty
one percent went onto a four-year program and 33 percent to a two-year program.) These
students received over $225,000 in scholarships and awards. Some of these colleges include
Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Tufts, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, and many other fine
colleges and universities.
In summary, we wish to thank the citizens of both Towns for their continued support.
Respectfully submitted,
James R. Dykeman, Jr., School Committee Chairperson
Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District
OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
CAROL A. WOODBURY, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Public school districts are expected to continue to make progress toward meeting the goals of the
No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation irrespective of the state of the economy or its impact
on school budgets. It is my pleasure to report that most grade levels and schools in the District
made significant progress this year as demonstrated by the 2009 Massachusetts Comprehensive
Assessment System (MCAS) results.
District wide, more students are scoring in the advanced category and fewer students are scoring
in the failing category. Most significantly, 81% of our tenth grade students scored in the
proficient and advanced range in Mathematics thus meeting the goals of NCLB. Forty-nine
percent of all tenth graders scored in the advanced range. In English Language Arts, 84% met the
goals of NCLB with 36% scoring in the advanced range. The third MCAS requirement for
graduation, science, has been in effect for two years. 81% met the NCLB goal. 28% of our
students scored in the advanced range. While there is more work to be done this is excellent
progress toward the goal of 100% proficient and advanced work by 2014.
Our teachers and principals have used this data to improve instruction. The 2009 MCAS tests
come just two years after the district began staff training in the use of protocols for using data.
We are continuing this work and strengthening its impact through training on using teacher -
created formative assessments to benchmark student progress throughout the year, using
instructional coaches to support teachers, and training in Keys to Literacy to improve nonfiction
241
reading skills in grades 4-8. Funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA) has been used to support these efforts.
Recently, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) created a draft of
Essential Conditions for School Effectiveness. These conditions can be found in educational
research as the "best practices" and will undoubtedly be the conditions against which districts
will be measured when audited by DESE in the future. Dennis -Yarmouth has implemented some
of these practices. The areas that have already been implemented include: Professional
development and structures for collaboration; Aligned curriculum; Effective instruction;
Assessment, and Addressing the social, emotional, and health needs of students.
As of October 1, 2009 Dennis -Yarmouth enrolled 3,390 students. The free and reduced lunch
percentages by school range from 27% to 48%, with an average of 36% district wide. Our
number of English Language Learners continues to increase. On State testing of English
Language Learners our students outperformed the state in all areas. Finally, we have made
significant progress in addressing our dropout rate. The dropout rates have not been finalized by
the state, but we expect to see a dropout rate below 4% for 2008-2009.
We thank the Town officials and the taxpayers of Dennis and Yarmouth for their support. Our
students have some of the finest programs anywhere in Massachusetts. While many districts
have been forced to cut programs in music, the arts and other co -curricular areas, we have been
able to maintain these programs with your support. On behalf of our students I thank you for
your continued support.

Carol A. Woodbury

FISCAL AFFAIRS
JOSEPH P. CUCINOTTA DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND OPERATIONS
During the year ending December 31, 2009, the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District has
proved to be challenging and rewarding in the areas of finance and operations. Despite the
negative economic conditions of the country, reduced state aid and budget cuts to the district for
FY2009, the district ended the year with an excess and deficiency (E & D) amount of $1,507,228
and used $1,000,000 to balance the FY2010 budget. This offset reduced the assessments to the
taxpayers of Dennis and Yarmouth. The State Aid for FY2009 for the District was $6,764,640,
which was a reduction of $138,054 from the original reimbursement estimate the State provided.
The Towns of Dennis and Yarmouth approved a level funded operating budget for FY2010 of
$48,711,320, which was the same amount approved for FY2009. Currently, the school district is
in the process of developing the 2010-2011 budget (FY2011). The budget development process
begins in September with input from numerous groups ranging from the superintendent of
schools, finance director, principals, parents, site councils and school committee. All have an
important part in budget development. The school administration strives for open communication
with Town officials on projected budget deficits in the areas of school choice, charter and special
education costs when preparing our budget.
The school committee and administration have, under the direction of Knight, Bagge &
Anderson, Inc., completed a short and long-range facilities plan to identify and prioritize the
242
needs that continue to arise in our older buildings. Again, it has been our goal and the objective
of the school committee to maintain safe, clean, healthy, educationally sound school facilities.
On May 5, 2009, the Town of Dennis approved $200,000 for preparing architectural and
engineering plans, specifically for the roof and windows of the Ezra Baker Elementary School
and $130,000 for the Nathaniel Wixon Middle School for an upgrade on the
clocks/communication system. Last year we experienced an increase in school lunch
participation. The food service program served appetizing, nutritious meals to children and
young adults and made our cafeterias welcoming and fun. This program continues to
concentrate on improving 1) menus, 2) financial independence, 3) purchasing, and 4) marketing.
In conclusion, I would like to thank the communities for their support. The Towns of Dennis
and Yarmouth can be proud of our educational system and take pride in the influence that they
have on our children.
OFFICE OF INSTRUCTION
GLORIA LEMERISE, DIRECTOR OF INSTRUCTION
The Office of Instruction is responsible for the planning and coordination of all aspects of
learning. This ranges from providing and supervising professional development, refining
curriculum to meet the needs of all learners, and monitoring student achievement as measured by
the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) and district assessments. To
support these key efforts, the Director of Instruction must also be deeply involved in grant
writing. The resources gained from numerous grants provide a major funding stream for
professional development efforts that improve the instructional expertise of all our professionals.
Much of what takes place on the district level reflects mandates from both Federal and State
Departments of Education and grant requirements. As we develop improvement plans and
organize professional development, we continually focus on learning for all — students, teachers,
administrators, and support staff.
With limited financial resources and the requirements of Education Reform and grant funding,
the District is compelled to be sure all professional learning is focused on improving student
learning. These events provide some basic content and pedagogical knowledge necessary to
begin the professional learning. To move the learning into practice, teachers meet at least
weekly in their Professional Learning Communities (PLC's). The PLC meetings create the
opportunity to transfer the adult learning and improve practices measured by student results. As
students become more adept at using a wide range of technology applications in their academic
and social lives, our instruction and curriculum must adapt. Digital media brings numerous
opportunities for both students and teachers to be connected worldwide in the 21st century,
creating a profound need to update our information and communication skills. During both the
school year and summer, our Instructional Technology Director provides graduate level courses
that focus on the skilled use of a wide variety of 21st century tools and resources. Grants fund
opportunities for our staff to attend workshops focusing on the latest uses of technology in the
classroom.
The students in our district represent a wide variety of cultures and languages. We have been
fortunate to have certified English as Second Language (ESL) teachers working with children
who are not yet proficient in English. These teachers provide direct student services and support
general education teachers in sheltered English instruction. Their expertise makes it possible to
243
provide specific professional development opportunities for their colleagues intended to optimize
the instruction in every classroom.
Though the results of this year's MCAS show improvement, the District still faces challenges
within the subgroups. Using data, maintaining high standards for all learners, and working in a
collaborative environment focused on student learning, allows us to apply our professional
learning and continue toward closing the achievement gap. We look to working with our
families and communities as full partners in these efforts to meet the demands of the 21st
century.
PUPIL SERVICES
JUDITH D. DION, DIRECTOR OF PUPIL SERVICES
There are currently 526 students receiving special education services. Approximately 50 students
require very specialized services and are placed in day or residential programs. Services may
include specialized education, and related services such as speech therapy, occupational or
physical therapy, behavioral intervention, social work services, vision and medical services. As
of June 30, 2009 there were over 100 students who are provided with services under the
McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Act in our district. These students and families may live
in shelters, motels, or are doubled up with relatives or friends. There is also an increase in the
number of unaccompanied youth who are not in the custody of a parent or guardian.
To offset the loss of State revenues, we applied for and received American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA) monies. Activities funded through the ARRA grants are "designed to
strengthen education, drive reforms and improve results for students." Specifically, the ARRA-
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) funds ensure that students with disabilities
receive a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) and are prepared for further education,
employment and independent living. These monies also support lost revenues from Circuit
Breaker, a specialized behavioral program, a transitional vocational component, and professional
development for staff.
The DY transitional vocational component allows high school students with significant
disabilities to develop employability skills and to obtain community based employment. The
School -to -Career Assistant has already initiated a recycling program, established prevocational
internship sites through JTEC, and developed four community based training sites. We thank
our Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School staff, Foley Medical Supplies Center, Windsor Skill
Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Yarmouth Senior Center, and the Clarion Inn, for allowing
our students to experience genuine and valued work experiences. Other professional
development activities are designed to support staff to work with students with mental health and
behavioral challenges. In addition, the ARRA funds coupled with an additional grant are
supporting professional development to increase literacy training of personnel and to examine
effective practices to improve the reading performance of students with disabilities in
Kindergarten through Grade 3.
DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
KENNETH T. JENKS, PRINCIPAL
As always, I begin my annual school report by thanking the citizens of Dennis and Yarmouth for
supporting our school. D -Y's achievements are directly connected to the support provided by our
244
communities. The high school's October 2009 enrollment was 935 students. The graduating class
of 2009 reflected the strengths of the high school program. 84% of the class of 2009 planned to
attend college: 51% planned to attend a four year college or university and 33% planned to
attend a two year college. Many students in the class of 2009 pursued other opportunities: 3%
planned to go to a technical school, 9% planned to enter the workforce, 3% planned to join the
armed forces and the remainder were undecided about their future plans. The students in the
class of 2009 collectively received over $225,000 in scholarships and awards. Our students,
families, faculty and staff appreciate the many generous individuals, organizations and
businesses that provided this vital financial support for our students.
We are committed to Pursuing Excellence, Demonstrating Character. The high school continues
to stress a core program of English, foreign language, math, science and social studies. We offer
a wide range of courses and programs to our students. We provide many Advanced Placement
and honors level courses for students who pursue the most challenging academic options. This
year, 70 D -Y students are enrolled in online classes through the Virtual High School program.
We value a well-rounded education for all of our students, and as a result, our graduation
requirements call for students to complete course work in elective areas including art,
technology, health and physical education, and music. We support career oriented options
including work based learning and nearly 100 students participated in internships with local
businesses this year. We have a strong working relationship with Cape Cod Community College
and many of our students take classes at the community college level. D -Y students can also
pursue alternative paths to graduation through participation in our day and evening alternative
learning programs. As we prepare for our next New England Association of Schools and
Colleges accreditation, we are incorporating 21st century academic and technical skills into our
program.
D -Y continues to make progress toward our state Adequate Yearly Progress goals. We continue
to reduce the drop out rate and the majority of our high school MCAS scores are at or above the
state average. Our many co -curricular activities provide numerous opportunities for our students.
The music program enjoyed success again this year: the band placed sixth in the US Scholastic
Band Association Northern States Championships and the color guard came in first at this same
competition. Art students continue to be recognized for their skills. Student government and our
school's service groups continue to donate hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to
charities and our communities. Our athletes are competitive and many teams have enjoyed
winning seasons. D -Y teachers continue their efforts to improve our programs --they have been
awarded grants and they have been recognized for their work.
Our school is thankful for the support our Towns have provided in the past and we hope both
Dennis and Yarmouth will continue to provide the moral and fiscal support necessary for success
in the coming years.
MATTACHEESE MIDDLE SCHOOL
M. CATHERINE WOLLAK, PRINCIPAL
The learning community at MMS is fully engaged in supporting our middle age youth in the
Town of Yarmouth. This is accomplished via the middle school teaming model. In doing so we
embrace daily professional dialogue about student needs and the best way to address them
Middle level education attends to the academic, social and emotional needs of our students in
grades six through eight. We offer a rigorous middle level education that includes the traditional
245
core academic subjects but also the social experiences that enrich the learning experience. We
cover instruction in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies and Science as well as
visual arts, world languages, technology, health and fitness, vocal and instrumental music, and
library sciences. Beyond the curriculum offerings we also provide time in the day for enrichment
activities and more specific skills instruction. Outside of the school day we tap the resources of
staff and community members to offer 3 seven -week sessions of extended learning classes and
after school activities. These may include non-competitive sports, arts and crafts activities, yoga,
beehive management, recycling projects, homework clubs or tutoring. We continue to run
middle school sports and music programs as well as community service and leadership activities.
We have also extended the week to include two Saturday mornings a month as academic support
time. Staff signs on to work with students one-on-one and in small groups reinforcing needed
skills or guiding students through classroom assignments.
The learning community at Mattacheese Middle School extends beyond its doors to the parents
and community at large. Parents in our PTO generously give of their time and resources to
support many of our co -curricular and enrichment programs for our youth. The Mattacheese
School Council comprised of parents, a community representative and faculty members meets
monthly to review our School Improvement Plan and discuss current issues and concerns of our
larger community that impact our student learners. Faithful to the mission of our school, we
work diligently to provide the instruction necessary for children to reach their academic
potential. Our efforts have retooled our skills using data to inform instruction, and working in
collaborate teams to enhance learning. We gain a better understanding of our students' needs and
assist them in gaining ground reaching the "Adequate Yearly Progress" benchmark set by the
Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education in alignment with the No
Child Left Behind initiative. We are committed to reaching our goals and providing instructional
opportunities in those identified areas of need for all students to reach proficiency or advanced
level of achievement.
On behalf of the Mattacheese learning community we thank our partners at the school district's
administration office as well as the grounds, maintenance and cafeteria crews. We acknowledge
the challenges that face our school committee and our Town's elected officials and are
appreciative of their support. Most importantly, we thank our students and their parents for their
involvement and continued faith in the mission of our school Mattacheese Middle School.
NATHANIEL H. WIXON MIDDLE SCHOOL
CAROLE A. EICHNER, PRINCIPAL
Wixon serves 4th — 8th grade students for the Town of Dennis. According to the October 1,
2009 enrollment report, Wixon has a total of 465 students. 5 of our students attend through the
School Choice option. We have 78 professional and non-professional staff members on the
Wixon team. Our school also hosts a Cape Cod Collaborative Program for students with
significant disabilities. The entire Wixon staff is highly committed to teaching and learning,
school safety and fostering parent/ community partnerships.
Wixon provides a rigorous academic program with a class size average of 20 students/class.
Academic offerings include: English language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, art,
music, physical education, health, and technology. Foreign language is offered to students in
grades six, seven and eight. Students may also choose to take instrumental music, chorus or
strings during the school day. We offer a variety of after school activities and enrichments such
as Peer Mediation, Leaders of Tomorrow (L.O.T.), French & Spanish Clubs and interscholastic
246
athletics. Our fifth graders receive Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) from Officer
Jim Winn of the Dennis Police Department and each class engages in a unique weeklong NEED
Collaborative Seashore experience; a long-standing tradition for DYRSD students.
Wixon welcomed two new professional staff members from other District schools this year:
Deborah Clark, Special Education Teacher, and Brenda Crowell, Occupational Therapist.
School Resource Officer/Detective Patrick McCaffrey also joined the team.
The Wixon School Council provides guidance to improve our school. Thanks go to this group of
volunteers including: Maureen Anderson, Warren Bateman, Kathy Fahle, Kate Franklin, Karen
Medve, Angela Persechino, Patricia Plucinski, and community representative, Cindi Cabot. The
Parent Teacher Advisory Council (PTAC) supports many educational and enrichment programs,
including curriculum -related field trips and cultural enrichment presentations for all students
through community -building events and fundraising. We are grateful to the PTAC and our
parents for their tireless efforts to support learning. PTAC officers are Terri Bunce, President;
Deb Bateman, Vice -President; Beth Newhard, Secretary; and, Pam Sullivan, Treasurer.
EZRA H. BAKER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
KEVIN DEPIN, PRINCIPAL
This year, when our school opened in September, we greeted 380 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 Alternative Learning
Site (SEALS) Program.. This program is designed to educate young children with significant
health challenges. We are home to the Specialized Teaching Alternative Room (STAR). This
program works to meet the educational needs of children diagnosed with autism in Pre -
Kindergarten through grade 3. Our daycare includes children up through fifth grade, and has
nearly ninety children enrolled in either before or after school care.
In the spring of 2009, three very dedicated teachers, Miss Mary Healy, Mrs. Jane Cutler, and Ms.
Lisa Lawson, decided to retire after years of service to the children of our Town. Each of these
women added tremendously to the fabric of our school community in different ways: Miss. Healy
spent more than 30 years with our youngest students in kindergarten; Mrs. Cutler pioneered
looping at our school, a practice of spending two years with one group of children; and Miss
Lawson finished her career at Baker, where she began thirty years earlier, as our reading teacher.
The spring of 2009 also marked the last at Ezra H. Baker for Dr. Lisa McMahon, our co-
principal for the 2008-2009 year. Dr. McMahon's departure to assume the responsibilities as
principal in Kingston, MA ushered in the return of Ellen Gagliardi Flanagan, our Dean of
Students.
Our students continue to thrive! Our professional focus in the 2008-2009 school year centered
around math instruction. Teachers met in professional learning groups throughout the year to
study State curriculum, district guidelines and student work samples. As teachers learned
together, they were able to alter classroom instruction helping to deepen student understanding of
important mathematical concepts. Families were important partners in this endeavor, as
evidenced by the overwhelming participation in our Annual Math Fair. Though math was an
important focus students continued to do well in all areas of the curriculum. Our students benefit
from weekly lessons in the related arts. Students in second grade completed an interdisciplinary
project in which they read a biography about an artist and then completed an artistic piece
copying the artist's style. Students in all grades participated in a Jump for Heart Program which
247
combined exercise and community service. Our monthly whole school meetings are enhanced
by songs students learn in music class.
As always, we are fortunate to receive tremendous support from our parent group and from the
Yarmouth community. In difficult economic times, PTAC has stepped in to provide students
with valuable extensions to their learning. Students visited Buttonwood Zoo, The Cape Cod
Museum of Natural History, The Boston Children's Museum and Plimoth Plantation due to the
support of our families and PTAC. With the continued support from the Town Departments and
the citizens of Yarmouth, our 78th year serving the students of Yarmouth will be our best yet.
LAURENCE C. MAC ARTHUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
PETER J. CROWELL, PRINCIPAL
Our current enrollment of 236 students in grades K-3 is divided into 12 classrooms. We also
have one of the DYRSD Early Education programs housed here at LCM. During the past year
we were able to reconfigure our office to make use of limited space while providing a safe and
welcoming entry for all of our visitors. We continue to make use of all space in our 59 -year-old
facility and prioritize maintenance needs.
With our school theme of Set Sail for Success, our academic and social curriculums provide each
student with the opportunity to learn and thrive. Our professional staff continues to expand their
knowledge of best practices through weekly meetings as Professional Learning Communities in
each grade level. Specific emphasis is placed on peer collaboration, walk-throughs, common
assessment to inform instruction, looking at student work, flexible grouping, technology in the
classroom and use of data strengthen instructional practices across all grade levels. Additionally,
we have expanded our student peer -mentoring program where older students are paired with
younger students to work together to build pro -social skills such as caring, kindness, respect and
responsibility. We also continue to offer a wide array of after school enrichment sessions to
expand opportunities beyond the school day.
Our very active PTO under the leadership of Jami Carder, Tammy Horne, Julie Pelletier, and
Alyson Taubert gives countless amounts of time to coordinate many events such as our Book
Fair, Holiday Fair, field trips and school programs. Additionally, we welcome many volunteers
in our school ranging from high school students, to parents, grandparents and Elder Services.
The LCM School Council comprised of Alyson Taubert, Jocelyn Howard, Cookie Stewart and
Mackie Rice focuses on our home/school survey, school improvement plan, and articulating our
vision. Their commitment of time and positive interactions enhance our school mission. As
always our partnership with both the Yarmouth Police and Fire Departments brings us important
connections in the area of safety.
Finally, on behalf of the LCM school community, I wish to thank the good citizens of Yarmouth
for their support of our school in Setting Sail for Success!
MARGUERITE E. SMALL SCHOOL
EMILY A. MEZZETTI, PRINCIPAL
Our professional and support staff members work together to maximize the educational
experience we provide for our Town's 4th and 5th grade students. This year's initiatives include
enhanced language arts instruction, increased use of assessment to help maximize students' skill
248
development, and emphasis on professional collaboration among faculty members to share best
practices. Funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act also facilitated the hiring of
a school-based English Language Learner teacher for our students for whom English is not their
first language.
Modifying our daily schedule has had an exceptionally positive impact on the educational
experience we offer our students. We now share bus transportation with Mattacheese Middle
School. Our day begins and ends thirty minutes earlier. This allows us to offer better after
school programs while sharing the middle school's late buses at four and five o'clock each
evening.
This year we successfully applied for a 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program
Grant. We received $125,000 in Federal funds, overseen by the Massachusetts Department of
Elementary and Secondary Education. These funds have allowed us to offer an after school and
summer program for 46 fourth grade students. We thank our collaborating agencies who have
worked together with us on this fantastic endeavor including: Yarmouth Recreation, Yarmouth
Fire Department, Yarmouth Police Department, Yarmouth Town Libraries, Dennis -Yarmouth
Regional School District's Music and Drama Departments, Boy Scouts of the Cape and Islands,
Cultural Center of Cape Cod, Cape Cod Museum of Natural History, and the District Attorney's
Office of Barnstable County. Together this school year we have offered eight hours each week
of wonderful activities in academics, recreation, and the arts, and we look forward to facilitating
a high quality and collaborative summer program.
Parent involvement enriches our school's culture. Our Parent Teacher Organization, chaired the
last two years by Dawn -Marie Flett, works exceptionally hard raising funds to support grade -
level field trips and enrichment programs here at our school. The School Council meets monthly
to develop and oversee our School Improvement Plan and provided valuable insight and support.
Both groups are integral to our strong culture, and I thank the parents and community members
who so generously share their time with us.
As I conclude my twelfth year as a principal in the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District, I
would like to thank the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committee, our central office
administrators, the M.E. Small faculty, staff, parents, and the members of our community who
have helped to enhance our school this past year. I look forward to our continued work together
to maximize the educational experience we provide our fourth and fifth grade students.
STATION AVENUE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
LISA M. WHELAN, M. ED., PRINCIPAL
I have been quite impressed with the amount of professionalism, experience, and commitment
that the Dennis -Yarmouth School District gives to the students of our system. Our team of
teachers at Station 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. We were fortunate to make adequate yearly progress in
MATH on the 2009 MCAS due to the combined team efforts of our educational professionals.
This takes us out of the needs improvement status in MATH. Math has been a school wide focus
over the past two years. Through looking at student work, researching best practices in the area
of number sense instruction, and using data in this area to drive our teaching practices, we have
been able to increase our math number sense achievement on the 2009 MCAS. We are
continuing to provide professional development opportunities to the staff in this area. We are
249
fortunate to have a math coach in the elementary schools this year through the Federal American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant.
Additionally, we have been able to continue our progress and development of reading
interventions. All second grade Title One students have exposure to a new early literacy
program, Leveled Literacy Interventions. Our classroom teachers are continually collaborating
and analyzing student work in reading to promote instructional practices that focus on individual
student needs.
Our Consulting Teacher of Reading, Reading Recovery team and Title One team have worked
closely to promote early literacy practices and interventions within the entire school. The
Education Foundation for Dennis and Yarmouth was able to support a grant towards our all
school read aloud program. This has provided the school the opportunity to purchase read aloud
books for all of our classrooms. Through these initiatives, we continue our focus of improving
results for all learners.
With the support of the Dennis -Yarmouth School District, we are fortunate to have three team
leaders and a school dean at our school again this year. This team has worked to facilitate and
support the principal with the data inquiry process. Our vision at Station Avenue School is to
use data and assessments to drive the instruction 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. Based upon discipline data for the past two years, we take pride in
stating that our discipline has dropped considerably due to the proactive measures that our staff
and administration take 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 includes teacher representatives, Cheryl
Warren, Charlene Carey, Steven McDonough, Camila Oliveira; and parent representatives,
Christina Carey, Patty Chadwick, Laurie Simonian; and our community representative, 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 parents are an integral part of our
school community. We hosted our first multicultural event in September 2009. Based upon the
turnout, we will continue this as a traditional family event in our school. It has helped to
promote community involvement and a deeper appreciation for the various countries and cultures
that we represent in our school.
Our school currently has approximately 42 English Language Learners. This is approximately
10% of our school population. With the support of the district administration, as well as our
talented faculty, our school now houses the first ELL classroom in the State. Our English
Language Learners are now receiving recommended time learning English language skills to
help them succeed in academic areas. We have been very excited about the implementation of
this program. Through the systematic approach and instruction, we predict that our English
Language Learners will continue to make successful gains in the classroom.
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. They have been an enormous support to our school
programs. Additionally, the Yarmouth Rotary Club, as well as the Education Foundation for
Dennis and Yarmouth, has been supportive organizations to our students.
250
We are in the midstofsome very difficult economic times, and our endless team support has
been able to accomplish many district and academic goals despite this recession. 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 educational
mission for the children of the Dennis -Yarmouth Schools.
FOOD SERVICE DEPARTMENT
GARTH PETRACCA, COORDINATOR
Our economy is weak. Jobs are hard to find. Everyone has less money but our students still
need to be fed. It is vitally important that all members of our school community who might
qualify for free or reduced lunch and breakfast complete and submit an application. Financially,
this provides us with assistance in helping to feed all our students.
One of our goals has always been to reimburse the school system's General Fund to the extent
that is financially possible without detracting from the Food Service Program itself. We will
continue this practice and make changes in the program as needed. We currently use cooperative
purchasing and competitive bidding on everything we buy which enables us to secure the best
prices for all our products and services.
Our participation rates are holding at 75% even with continued declining enrollment which is a
testament to the success of the program. Food costs are at 45%, labor at 45%, and other
expenses at 10%.
We highly value what we accomplish on a daily basis in our Department. Our "Home Meal
Replacements" are designed to provide healthy, satisfying and continued choices to our
customers, the children of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District.
TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT
LORY STEWART, DIRECTOR OF INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY
CHRIS MACHADO, DIRECTOR OF TECHNOLOGY
The Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District Technology Department provides services to all
schools and the Central Office. In January of 2009, John Carey replaced Dan Smith as a
Technology Technician. The Department supports the infrastructure necessary to maintain our
networks, repairs hardware, installs software and provides professional development to staff to
integrate technology into the curriculum.
During the school year an all day in-service was held for staff that was dedicated to the effective
use of technology in the classroom for students grades K-12. In addition there were five graduate
courses devoted to technology integration offered within the district. Over 100 teachers took
advantage of these offerings. Because of a grant award, the District was able to use the newly
available Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Schools (MA DESE)
supported Data Warehouse to analyze MCAS data to drive decisions regarding individual
students and school wide progress toward meeting curricular goals and targeting areas of need
within the District. The District received a continuation grant that will now allow us to input our
own data based on local assessments. Professional development that will aim at areas of need
will also be made available through the use of the grant funds.
251
In the summer and early fall, the High School was migrated to a new web -based version of our
grade book software. All schools now use the same version of this software that allows teachers
to maintain a grade book with student grades from any computer with an Internet connection.
The District migrated its electronic mail system to the Google Apps for Education Platform. This
new system offers email, shared calendars, documents and many other on-line communication
and collaboration tools designed for educational use. The DYRSD Technology Department
makes every effort to stay current on emerging technologies to best serve our school community
and ensure strong support of its technological needs.
