2006-ANNUAL REPORT
Town Of Yarmouth 2006 Annual Town Report ,/P65- r4 *4, fjr # s- r The 2006 Annual Report spotlights the drawings of 5`h grade students from the M.E. Small Elementary School in West Yarmouth. Judy Daigneault, Executive Assistant to the Town Administrator worked with the M.E. Small School Principal and Art Director to develop a contest to draw scenes of Yarmouth for the front and back covers of the Town Report. We have also placed other pictures drawn by students inside the report that relate to particular departments. The winners are listed below and we thank all the students and teachers who participated for their hard work and great drawings. We would like to thank The Country Press, Inc. for assisting us with the creation of the artwork within this years Town Report.

Your Board of Selectmen dealt with many important issues while working to maintain and improve services for the residents of Yarmouth. Additionally, the Board worked diligently to improve communication with our neighboring towns of Dennis and Barnstable. Yarmouth is a very special place. We are fortu- nate to have many people, who, through hard work and dedication, continue to provide the residents of Yarmouth with the quality of life we have come to enjoy. We would like to recognize our Town Admin- istrator, Bob Lawton, and Assistant Town Adminis- trator, Peter Johnson -Staub, for their professional- ism and dedication to the town of Yarmouth, its citi- zens, and employees. We owe a deep debt of grati- tude to the Administrative staff of Judy Daigneault, Pam Barnes and Grace Parisi and Linda Hill for their continued commitment to the citizens of Yarmouth and outstanding support of the Board of Select- men. Special places have special people, and Yarmouth is no exception. The Board wishes to express our thanks to all town employees and vol- unteers. They make Yarmouth a very special place to live. One such person is Dan Horgan, who after serving on the Board of Selectmen for4 years, chose not to seek re-election to the Board. Dan played an important role in resolving the land damage law- suits at Bayberry golf course. He served as the Board's liaison to the D -Y Regional School Com- mittee during the renovations to the High School, and worked with the Fire Station #3 building com- mittee to reduce the overall cost of the new station. Thank you Dan for your commitment to the com- munity. Yarmouth town -wide elections saw the re- election of Suzanne McAuliffe and the return of Dr. Bill Marasco to the Board after a one year absence. Both returned with a commitment to efficient gov- ernment that has been adopted by the entire Board. As co-chairs of appointments, they have worked together with the numerous town boards and com- mittees to find quality volunteers to serve the com- munity in many roles. Selectmen Goals Our new goal setting format has been success- ful in allowing us to carry goals forward from one year to the next. Many of these goals are a continu- ing work in progress. To enhance, sustain and broaden the economic base of the community, your Board of Selectmen continues to support the work of boards and com- mittees, such as the Planning Board, Community and Economic Development Committee, and the Yarmouth Area Chamber of Commerce. These groups have been working together and in small ad hoc committees to address issues and plans for Route 28, the Hotel Motel bylaw, Village Center pro- posals, a new sign code, and future Marina project at Parkers River. The Board also took an active role in Cape Cod Commission hearings to help secure building of the new world headquarters of IFAW (In- ternational Fund for Animal Welfare), which is now under construction on Willow St in Yarmouth Port. This action will ensure that many high paying, good quality, "clean & green" jobs will be available in the Town of Yarmouth for years to come. Over the past number of years the town has worked to keep taxes under control through level funded budgets. As a result, Yarmouth has one of the lowest average tax bills on Cape Cod. This is possible because of the hard work of the Finance Committee, Town Administrator and Departments heads over the past few years. However, the level funding approach to the budget has resulted in many of the Town's needs going unfilled and staffing in key positions kept at minimal levels. In an attempt to address these needs, the board reviewed re- quests from a number of department heads for a potential override vote in the Spring of 2006. The original override list from nine departments totaled $1,340,668. The Board worked to reduce the amount requested to $819,166, electing to address immediate needs for staffing in Information Tech- nology, Police, Library, Natural Resources, Senior Services, as well as needs of the capital budget and some engineering expenses. This override did not pass at the town election. However, the needs in the community did not go away. The Town's Infor- mation Technology Department has operated with only one person and a Police Department manage- ment study indicated the need for 12 additional staff in the Police Department. The Board reviewed the original override request and again worked to re duce the override number to $457,787. This new number passed an override vote in the Fall of 2006, to address only those items considered to be criti- cal, one new staff member in Information Technol- ogy and five new hires to address Police Depart- ment needs. Despite limited available funds, all Town departments continue to seek ways to be more ef- ficient and provide quality services. To protect the environment and water supply, the Board continues its support of the energy committee's work toward finding solutions to the high cost of energy that continues to plague our budget each year. To that end, the energy commit- tee has been working on a bylaw for renewable energy resources, such as wind and solar energy. The Board has also adopted a policy of purchasing energy efficient equipment whenever possible. Wastewater issues are being addressed through DEP (Department of Environmental Protection) monitoring and studies of our estuaries, with a final report due within the next year. The Board contin- ued work with consultants to identify and address possible ground water pollution issues at the Mu- nicipal Airport in Barnstable and joined the Cape Cod Wastewater Collaborative to find long-term solutions to this regional issue. To provide affordable housing for residents and seasonal employees, the Board has encouraged the development and implementation of an affordable housing action plan due to be completed by the 2007 annual town meeting. The Board also sup- ported the continued development of Brush Hill with new affordable homes now under construction by Our First Home, Inc. (a non profit organization com- mitted to providing affordable housing in Yarmouth). To support the educational needs of the stu- dents of Yarmouth, the Board worked with our friends and partners in education from Dennis to address regional school funding formula concerns that had been brewing for the past few years. In an effort to keep our two towns together as a regional school district, a philosophy of "two towns -one community" was adopted. The work of the late Don Trepte, Chairman of Dennis Board of Selectmen, was instrumental in leading to a solution to the school funding issues. His legacy will be the pres- ervation of our first class regional school system. Don will be missed by his friends and colleagues from both sides of the river. The D -Y High School renovation project was completed during the sum- mer of 2006, with the Selectmen taking an active roll in oversight. The results of the 33 million dollar renovation project are advanced technology, a greater degree of computer access, and upgrades, replacements and repairs in the infrastructure of the building. Our students now have excellent facilities where they can pursue their education. To provide for health and safety needs of the citizens of Yarmouth, the Board has been attempt- ing for more than 20 years to have a voting voice on the Barnstable Municipal Airport Commission. Mr. Bob Howard has been the Town's representative to the Commission with NO vote. However, he contin- ues to speak out on issues important to Yarmouth's citizens at Airport Commission meetings. While the Airport Commission seeks to expand the operations of the "Municipal" Airport and the size of the termi- nal, Yarmouth continues to deal with a great deal of noise, traffic and environmental impact from the air- port. Your Board of Selectmen will continue to reach out to Barnstable leadership in an effort to be heard, while we are seeking remedies which may include legal action and/or legislative solutions for voting rights on the Airport Commission and designation of the airport as a development of regional impact. With many capital and building needs in line for future consideration, a major step forward was taken when the construction of Fire Station #3 began at the corner of Buck Island Road and Town Brook Road. The Board worked with the Fire station build- ing committee to reduce the original plan for the new station, from over 8 million dollars to 4 million dollars, to meet essential service needs. Due to budget constraints and a large overtime budget we were forced to reduce ambulance staffing at the existing Station #3 in West Yarmouth to an ALS (Ad- vanced Life Support) fire truck only. As a result, emergency response times in the West Yarmouth area have remained within preferred guidelines. The Board continues to work toward solutions to man- ning all stations full time, and a blue ribbon com- mittee has been created to explore the fire station staffing issue, with a report due before town meet- ing. With the support of the Board of Selectmen, the fluoridation of the Yarmouth water supply is being considered by the Board of Health. Public hearings are being held, and because this is a pub- lic health issue, a decision will be made by the Yarmouth Board of Health. To Preserve the historic/distinctive recreation elements of Yarmouth, a decision was made to close the John Simpkins School by the D -Y Regional School Committee after over 70 years of service to the children of our Town. After numbers indicated a continued decline in enrollment, the doors were closed at the end of the school year last spring. A study committee has been organized to review the existing building and make recommendations to the Board of Selectmen for a new use for this grand old building. We look forward to their report in the com- ing months. The Recreation Department has expanded the summer sailing program with the purchase of beachfront property at Englewood beach, where over 600 residents each year have been provided the opportunity to get out on the water and learn to sail. CPA (Community Preservation Act) funds are now available for historic preservation and a num- ber of projects were approved at town meeting. With the support of the Board, the CPC (Community Pres- ervation Committee), and the taxpayers, the Cul- tural Center of Cape Cod will open its doors in the Old Bass River Savings Bank, repairs to the New Church on Route 6A are underway, and funds to renovate and repair Bray Farm will be considered at this year's town meeting. After repairs and renovations were completed on the South Yarmouth Library, the children's read- ing room is back in operation and the Library Board conducted a survey regarding services in our three village libraries. At the suggestion of the Board of Selectmen, the Library Board has implemented Sunday Hours at the South Yarmouth Library for the fall season. To promote an informed, involved electorate, and a forward thinking municipal govemment, the Board supported the hiring of an additional IT (In- formation Technology) person to provide improved services for residents and employees through tech- nology. Many permits and applications, and infor- mation, are now available on the Town's web site. The Planning Board also now televises its meet- ings. The Selectmen continue to support and en- courage joint meetings between boards and com- mittees on issues of common concern, as well as public workshops and informational meetings on issues important to the citizenry of Yarmouth. An ad hoc committee has been created to advise the Selectmen on possible changes to the Charter in advance of the formal review which will occur in the latter part of 2007. The Government Oversight Com- mittee has made suggestions to improve participa- tion at Town Meeting. The suggestions will be re- viewed and acted upon this coming year. As you can imagine there is still a lot of work to do. The Board encourages you to get involved, we urge you to attend town meeting, vote, and con- sider volunteering for a town committee. By active involvement in your local government you too can help mold the future of Yarmouth and preserve this very special place we all call home.

Slowing rev- enue growth and increasing demand on town ser- vices led to this committee's support for an over- ride package in April. The bundled package that originally totaled $1,741,111.00 in department re- quests, would have increased revenues to fund in- creased library services, senior outreach services, increase the town wide IT staff from 1 to 2, increased funding for capital expenses and the hiring of 5 ad- ditional police officers. The package was paired down to $819,166 by the Finance Committee whose recommendation was supported by the Board of Selectmen and passed at the 2006 Annual Town Meeting. Unfortunately the question lost in the town election. In September, a special town meeting approved a paired down override article to fund an Informa- tion Technology position at $53,787 and 5 new po- lice officers at $404,000. These two items were also approved at the special election held in September and the positions are now filled. Another notable event in 2007 was the agree- ment reached between the towns of Yarmouth and Dennis on August 9, 2006 on how to recognize each town's share of state aid to the Dennis Yarmouth Regional School District. The agreement used the state's Chapter 70 formula for allocating state aid revenue rather than a per pupil formula. Although the Chapter 70 formula, as changed in 2006, will gradually increase Yarmouth's minimum contribu- tion, we should see savings for the next few years. Recognizing the obvious desire each of us have to keep our expenses, including taxes, as low as possible, members of the Finance committee work diligently in reviewing each town department bud- get, line by line looking for areas to save money. Although our role requires great attention to detail, this part of our jobs has become simplified in the past few years by budget instructions from the Town Administrator to the department heads to keep ex- penses level and increase budgets only by wage step increases as specified by contract. Except in special circumstances, expenses have been held flat for consecutive years effectively reducing bud- gets in the face of rising costs. Most department budgets offset higher costs of such items as ser- vice contracts by reducing other budget items to keep the overall expense budget flat. As budgets have tightened and local revenues have leveled off over multiple years, the typical free cash balance the town carries at the end of each year has decreased significantly, from $3.5 million in FY 04 to $1.2 million in FY 08. Although the lan- guage of efficiency includes phrases like 110 per- cent and doing more with less, we must recognize that once the reorganizations have been imple- mented, work weeks shortened, staff vacancies left unfilled, and critical needs unmet, reality says that we actually do less with less. This committee will continue to balance our natural inclination toward keeping the tax rates low with being responsible stewards of Yarmouth's resources and the chal- lenges of meeting the increasing demands for ser- vices. 12 Sincerely, William Bastian, Chair Carol Serafino, Vice Chair Betty -Jane Burkhardt, Clerk John Henderson Ted Weissberger Roy Morton Bernie Nugent Peter Slovak Patrick Foran CAPITAL BUDGET COMMITTEE The Capital Budget Committee is composed of seven volunteer members appointed by the Finance Committee. Staff support is provided by the Assis- tant Town Administrator - Peter Johnson -Staub. The Capital Budget Committee is charged with review- ing all capital funding requests submitted by Town Departments in August of each year. The Commit- tee submits preliminary recommendations in No- vember for the coming Fiscal Year, to the Finance Committee, Town Administrator and. Board of Se- lectmen. Final recommendations are included in a comprehensive capital improvement plan report that identifies capital needs anticipated for the coming five years. This plan is reviewed at a public hearing with the Selectmen, Finance Committee and School Committee in March. This annual report addresses the capital planning cycle that began in July 2005 and ended in March 2006. Prior to the Committee's review, the division and department heads meet as a group to prioritize capi- tal request to be funded from general fund avail- able funds (Le. Free Cash) and included in Article 6 of the 2006 Annual Town Meeting. The Committee also reviews capital improvement and facility bor- rowing items and requests in addition to the five- year capital improvement and facility plan for future spending needs. The Capital Budget Committee meets 2 to 3 times per month beginning in late sum- mer through March in preparation for Annual Town Meeting. Two summary tables from the capital im- provement plan are reproduced for this annual re- port. The Committee's full report includes a detailed listing of all requests for the five year plan and is available at the Town Administrator's Office. The Committee continued to face difficult choices as to .which capital requests should be funded and which cannot. For nearly 20 years, the funds available for the smaller capital projects, for which borrowing is not appropriate, has been ap- proximately $1 million per year — this is the total for general fund available funds that appears in Article 6 of the Annual Town Meeting. Most of these funds are directed toward what are considered "must fund" priorities such as Assessor' Revaluation & Re - list, Buildings & Grounds, Highway repairs, and pub- lic safety. If the funds available were adjusted for inflation over this 20 -year period, the funding amount 13 would be in excess of $1.5 Million in 2006. It is the view of this Committee that the Town needs to in- crease the amount spent on these capital needs on an annual basis. For this reason, the Committee recommended a Proposition 2-1/2. Override of $500,000. This amount was reduced by the Board of Selectmen to $200,000 and included as part of the $819,166 override that was defeated at the May elections. Definition of Capital Project The Committee continues to apply the two thresholds for capital budget requests, a useful life of at least five years and a cost of at least $10,000. With the exception of a few minor items, requests which do not meet these two thresholds are not considered for Article 6 funding. Town Owned Buildings Town owned buildings including school build- ings, will continue to require preventive maintenance and repair in order to ensure their safe usage and maximize their useful life. The dialogue with the Dennis Yarmouth Regional School District and Fi- nance Committee representatives, which began 2- 3 years ago, has resulted in a positive working rela- tionship. The School District's long-range facility plans are now part of the Committee's annual re- port. Vehicle Replacement Yarmouth maintains a large inventory of vehicles and miscellaneous registered and insured heavy equipment, trailers, boats etc. The Committee rec- ommends that a concerted effort be made to re- duce the fleet size and has advised Town depart- ments that it does not intend to recommend any vehicle replacements for FY2008 unless we are convinced that all opportunities to reduce the fleet size have been exhausted. Such reductions in a department's fleet might be accomplished by greater sharing of vehicles within the departments, by sharing vehicles across departments or by scheduling projects in such a way that the work can be accomplished with fewer vehicles and heavy equipment. To that end, the Committee established new vehicle replacement guidelines. Wastewater Treatment The estuary study due to be completed in 2008 has enormous potential impact on the town's fu- ture financial resources. It is anticipated that initial expenditures could begin as early as FY2009. Total costs could exceed 200 million dollars. Therefore, the Capital Budget Committee recommends in depth scrutiny of all current and future major capi- tal projects. A policy should be established to en- sure that "need and financial analysis" is conducted at multiple levels before building committees or engineering studies are initiated. We welcome new members Steven Davis and Lu Matrascia to the Committee this year. Finally, it is with regret that the Committee acknowledges the passing of a valued member and formidable con- tributor to the Committee, Ms. Barbara Creedon. She is missed.

The actual amount of expenditures will not be determined until the estuary study and treatment system design are completed. 15 TOWN ADMINISTRATOR In calendar 2006, most of my time and energy was spent on three issues confronting the Town. First, all of the collective bargaining contracts with our employees expired in June of 2006. We bar- gained with employees unions throughout 2006. Second, most of the spring and summer we spent meeting with representatives from the Town of Den- nis and with our consultant to finalize our financial arrangements for the Dennis Yarmouth Regional School District. Finally, the summer was spent pre- paring for the September Special Town Meeting with the override request for certain new personnel which was ultimately passed both at town meeting and as part of the primary elections in September of 2006. We have now successfully completed collec- tive bargaining with all of our bargaining units with the exception of fire. Between the Assistant Town Administrator and myself we spent many hours working with our bargaining units to develop fair and equitable contracts which benefit both the Town and the employees. We feel that with the coopera- tion of the bargaining units, we have been able to develop contracts which benefit the Town with ad- justments to wording which in some cases will save the Town money and in other cases will revise work rules to reflect the current financial condition and working relationships with our employees. The bar- gaining units have been able to achieve some in- crease in salary which is consistent with increases in other Towns on Cape Cod. We are continuing to work with the fire bargaining unit to reach an equi- table settlement which will benefit both of us. We are hopeful to finalize contract language early in 2007. Our work with the Selectmen and administra- tion in the Town of Dennis to finalize adjustments to the wording of our Intermunicipal Agreement which funds the Dennis Yarmouth Regional School Dis- trict were successfully completed early in Septem- ber of 2006. The process took almost one year and thru the dedication of a great amount of time and effort on the part of the Yarmouth Selectmen, the Yarmouth Administration as well as the Dennis Se- lectmen and the Dennis Administration, we were able to reach a successful conclusion. Much of the credit can be given to our two consultants, from Dennis and from Yarmouth, as well as to the late 16 Don Trepke, Chairman of the Dennis Board of Se- lectmen, who provided a steady and reasoned ap- proach allowing us to reach an equitable solution to a problem which had a potential of dismantling the Dennis Yarmouth Regional School District. We are fortunate that all of the parties involved dedi- cated themselves to preserving the Dennis Yarmouth Regional School District and devoted the time and energy necessary to achieve that goal. The Special Town Meeting in September and the Special Election vote culminated work which started in the latter part of 2005 to develop a com- prehensive override package to be presented to the citizens of Yarmouth for their consideration. Our ini- tial request at the Annual Town Meeting of just over $800,000 did not receive sufficient support during the annual election to fund the needs as were de- scribed for the various town departments. Subse- quently the Board of Selectmen narrowed the scope of the override to just over $400,000 which allowed the hiring of five police officers and one computer assistant. The voters strongly supported this modi- fied request and we have now increased our police force to provide better and more effective service to the citizens and have brought our Information Technology Division to a higher level so that we may continue to improve computerization of various town functions which will stabilize our staffing and tax rate. Some examples of improvements have been already instituted are: we are now able to accept credit cards payments for tax bills, beach stickers, disposal area stickers, and some other town func- tions. With the additional staff person, we will be able to expand the ability of citizens to secure per- mits, stickers, and interact with town government thru their home computers. Also during 2006, the Town saw major private construction projects being completed or started. The Cape Cod Hospital renovations, which are par- tially in the Town of Yarmouth, are moving quickly and the first phase has been completed on the new bed tower at the hospital. The new Shaw's Super- market on Route 28 not only provides new and bet- ter grocery shopping opportunities but also has improved traffic flow in the area of Route 28 be- tween the Town Hall and Forest Road. A spin-off of this improvement was the interior renovations to Stop and Shop on Long Pond Drive again provid- ing residents with more options for their grocery shopping. Several areas along Willow Street in West Yarmouth are also seeing new development. South of Route 6, a business development is growing with doctors' offices and a plumbing supply company having built or are currently building facilities. This work has been spurred by the redevelopment of Willow Street which is being shepherded by DPW Director George Allaire. North of Route 6, the former Gold Star Nursery is being transformed into the In- ternational Fund for Animal Welfare World Head- quarters. We are very pleased that all of these busi- nesses have chosen to locate in the Town of Yarmouth and the Economic Development Office is working on additional businesses to come to Yarmouth which will help to stabilize and broaden our tax base. 2007 will provide us with a number of challenges. We are looking at many affordable housing issues which we hope to work with partners in the Hous- ing Authority and with private developers to expand affordable housing opportunities in the Town. The John Simpkins Elementary School has been turned over to the Town as it is no longer economical for the School District to operate. A committee has been named by the Board of Selectmen to review the options the Town has for the re -use of the historic building and we are hopeful that in 2007 options will be able to be presented to the voters to con- tinue the use of this building for some municipal purpose. In 2007, our Town Treasurer Wally Lundstrom decided to retire. Mr. Lundstrom has worked for the Town for 11 years and has effec- tively managed the Treasurer's office to maximize our yield on savings, maintain our bond rating thru careful financial management he has worked with the Tax Collector to achieve a collection rate on taxes 17 that I believe is second to none in the State. We will all miss Wally Lundstrom's low key professional approach to his job. I would also like to thank all of the department heads for their hard work this past year. It was very difficult to present two different budgets for consideration at the 2006 Annual Town Meeting and to make the series of presentations to the Board of Selectmen and to the public regarding the needs of the Town as we progress into the 21st Century. Their hard work continues to place the Town of Yarmouth with the second or third lowest tax impact on Cape Cod and in the lower quarter of the State which I believe provides outstanding value for the tax dollars spent by residents; Unda Hill, who works in the Permits Office, was reassigned to work full time with the Town Administrators office where in the past her duties were split with issuing stick- ers. Linda is doing a great job organizing our licens- ing and purchasing to streamline the process and save money. I also want to thank Judy Daigneault, Pam Barnes, Grace Parisi, and Peter Johnson - Staub for their hard work and dedication to our of- fice and the taxpayers of Yarmouth. Without their constant hard work and support, we would not be able to accomplish the many things and provide the high quality of service we do to the taxpayers. Finally, I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen for their support and policy direction this past year. The Board of Selectmen has taken strong stands on various issues regarding housing and service levels in the community and those stands are ap- preciated. Respectfully submitted, Robert C.

We continue to be busy; in January the clerk's office started selling beach and disposal stickers along with providing dog licenses, golf passes and numerous other services. We have had a significant increase in the number of passports processed, a service we have been providing since 1998. The Clerk's office had a quite year concerning elections and town meetings. The Annual Town Meeting was held on April 11th., Annual Town Election, May 21d; Special Town Meeting, September 13th., Special Town Election, September 19th., State Primary, September 19th., State Election, November 7th., and the Old King's Highway Election on November 28th. The preparation and mailing of the Annual Census forms were once again done by an outside vendor, at a reasonable cost and a substantial savings of in house hours. The prompt return of the census is encouraged as the results of the census affect many of the Town's concerns. The Clerk's office has computerized many of its functions. This enables us to serve our customers more quickly and efficiently.

The Annual Town Meeting came to order at 7:04 RM. at the Mattacheese Middle School, Higgins Crowell Road, West Yarmouth, on April 11, 2005, with Thomas N. George, Moderator presiding. The warrant was read by the moderator.

The Board of Selectman Chairman Jerome Sullivan and Finance Committee Chairman William Bastian made opening statements. RESOLUTION: TOWN MEETING RESOLUTION ON "CAPE CARE" UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PROPOSAL Whereas, Health care coverage has become less affordable and less available to growing num- bers of people in our community, despite all efforts to date at both the state and federal level; and Each person who Tacks adequate health care coverage faces increased risks of illness, disability, and premature death. Our region has well above state -average rates of uninsured- and underinsured - people; and The families of such individuals are faced with growing out-of-pocket costs. These families must now confront the soaring expenses of health cov- erage, and the worry about bankruptcy or impover- ishment in the event of serious illness. Their caregiver stress increases with the need to provide more and more uncovered care; and 36 Small businesses face the soaring expenses of covering their employees' health premiums, pass- ing some of these costs along to employees in the form of rising premiums and out-of-pocket pay- ments. Our regional predominance of small busi- nesses and self-employed individuals is, under- standably, a key factor in the low rates of health care coverage; and Our Town governments struggle with the costs of health coverage for town employees. We the people are regularly forced to choose among other important and accustomed community services for budget cuts; and Our community health care providers and insti- tutions are caught in the inescapable financial squeeze of rising administrative costs and declin- ing reimbursements. They are forced to reduce staff- ing, cut services, or close. Access to care for all they serve is diminished. And whereas, These consequences represent losses in quality of life for many (if not all) members of the Cape and Islands community, and a threat to our collective welfare. Now Therefore: We petition our County Gov- ernment to support the development of a proposed regional universal health care program, known as Cape Care, which would, at a minimum, meet these criteria: • provide broad health care coverage for ALL resi- dents of the Cape and Islands, to improve indi- vidual and community health; and • control health care cost inflation by reducing ex- cessive administrative expenses, as well as through bulk discount purchasing of necessary medications and medical supplies; and • shape health care delivery to meet community needs for appropriate care, through a represen- tative policy-making board of community mem- bers and health care providers; and • strengthen the ability of our existing network of health care providers and institutions to provide high-quality care, by assuring adequate funding for necessary services. We call for a public hearing process in Barnstable County, to include analysis of the pro- posed plan's organization and governance, its ex- pected effects on community health, and its finan- cial modeling, to be initiated by the end of the year 2006. The Clerk of the Town is instructed to give Notice of Passage of this Resolution to the Town's representative to the County Assembly of Delegates, the County Commissioners, and the state and federal Representatives and Sena- tors, within 30 days. Acting on Resolution. On motion made by James McGuinness, and duly seconded, to move the Cape Care Resolution as printed in the warrant. 37 The vote on the resolution carries by the requi- site majority. 7:16 RM.

By doing so, it is the intent and purpose of this bylaw to promote the positive characteris- tics typical of traditional pedestrian -oriented mixed- use village centers by encouraging a combination of residential and business uses and to create af- fordable housing opportunities. To facilitate this bylaw, incentives are offered to meet these goals and to encourage the renovation and redevelop- ment of properties that respect the village center tradition. Where applicable, the underlying principles of the National Register Historic District, are encour- aged. 412.2 Project Approval Developments meeting all the criteria for as -of - right development in the VC and VCC Zoning Dis- tricts will be approved by the Building Commis- sioner. Development which does not meet the cri- teria for as -of -right development in the VC and VCC Zoning Districts, or requires a Special Permit for Use as described in section 202.5, requires a Special Permit for nonconformancy, as outlined in section 104.3, or requires a Special Permit under the provi- sions of section 301, Parking and Loading Require- ments, can be approved through issuance of a Spe- cial Permit by the Yarmouth Planning Board. 412.3 Intensity of Use Provisions .

In making such deter- mination, the Building Commissioner/Planning Board shall consider present, as well as proposed and potential future parking needs, and such deter- mination and/or Special Permit may contain any restrictions, limitations or conditions reasonably nec- essary to carry out the intention and purpose of this bylaw. Such restrictions, limitations, and conditions may include, among other things: 1. Provisions for establishing maximum allow- able occupancy; 2. Provisions for expiration or forfeiture of the determination/permit upon stated conditions or upon substantial change of the "special circum- stances" upon which the determination/permit was granted; 3. Provisions limiting the duration; 4.

Up to 100% of the required park- ing for a site may be located in a remote location, even if separated by a street. Such remote parking must be located within 500 feet of the proposed use. Shared parking facilities may also be allowed, if, in the opinion of the Planning Board, those uses sharing the facilities utilize the shared parking at dif- ferent times of the day, or there are other feasible and enduring circumstances that make the sharing of parking facilities possible and practical. 412.4.3 Public parking facilities, including park- ing garages. Public parking facilities may, at the dis- cretion of the Planning Board, be used to provide some or all of the required parking for a site and/or use. In making their determination as to the pos- sible use of a public parking facility, the Planning Board will determine if, in their opinion, the public parking facility is already overburdened so as to make any further use impractical. 412.4.4 Buffers. As outlined in section 301, buff- ers will be required in parking areas for five (5) or more cars, but may be reduced in size to no Tess than 5 feet wide. At the discretion of the Planning Board, buffers between adjacent business parking facilities may be eliminated and paved if, in their opinion, there is an advantage to internal and/or external traffic flow, and/or to facilitate increased parking capacity. The Planning Board may deny such joining of adjacent parking facilities if, in their opinion, internal or external traffic safety is com- promised. Common entrance driveways that cross required buffers between lots may also be allowed by the Planning Board and, at their discretion, may be required. Buffers may be crossed by paved side- walks. 412.4.5 Centerlines of driveways. The Planning Board may, at their discretion, reduce the driveway and street separation requirements of section 301.4.7 for parking lots of 20 or more spaces. 412.4.6 Sidewalks. Sidewalks shall be required adjacent to all streets. 412.5 Architectural and Site Design Standards and binding Design Review 412.5.1 For the purpose of this section, the Yarmouth Planning Board, as the Special Permit granting authority, shall adopt, and from time -to - time amend, the Yarmouth Architectural and Site Design Standards, which shall constitute rules and regulations guiding the implementation of the stan- dards of this Bylaw. Mandatory and binding design review shall be carried out as outlined in section 103.3, Site Plan Review, by the Design Review Rep- resentative to the Site Plan Review Committee, as further outlined in section 103.3.3.1 15.

Add the following new section 413 to the Zon- ing Bylaw, as follows: 413 AFFORDABLE HOUSING 413.1 Applicability. 413.1.1 This bylaw is applicable to affordable housing units created in accordance with Bylaw section 412, the Village Center and Village Center Core District Bylaw. 413.2 Goals & Purposes. 413.2.1 The purpose of the Affordable Housing Bylaw is to establish guidelines for determining eli- gibility for the affordable units, to preserve the long- term affordability of the affordable housing units created, and to set criteria for the creation of the 64 affordable units. It is intended that the affordable housing units created qualify as low or moderate income units for purposes of G.L. c. 40B § 20-23 and shall be in compliance with 760 CMR 45.00 Local Initiative Program (UP) and guidelines pro- mulgated thereunder and shall conform to the stan- dards of the Department of Housing and Commu- nity Development (DHCD) for inclusion in the DHCD Subsidized Housing Inventory. 413.3 Preservation of Affordability: Restrictions on Resale. 413.3.1 Each affordable housing unit shall be subject to an affordable housing restriction on the property as defined by M.G.L. c. 184, § 31, recorded at the Bamstable County Registry of Deeds and shall be in force in perpetuity, or for the maximum period of time allowed by law, so as to be binding on and enforceable against any person claiming an inter- est in the property and shall conform to the follow- ing: 1. The affordable housing restriction shall meet the requirements of the Local Initiative Program (UP), 760 CMR 45.00 Local Initiative Program (LIP) and guidelines promulgated thereunder; 2. Affordable housing rental units shall be rented only to a low- or moderate -income, qualified household at a rent not to exceed the maximum affordable rent established under the DHCD require- ments and guidelines under LIP; 3. Initial sale of an affordable housing unit shall be made to a low- or moderate -income, qualified household at a sale price not to exceed the maxi- mum affordable sale price established under the DHCD requirements and guidelines under LIP; 4. Subsequent resale of an affordable hous- ing unit shall be made to a low- or moderate -in- come, qualified household, shall be based on the initial discount rate, formula or description of the resale price applied to the initial sale of the unit, which shall be recorded at the time of sale; shall be applied to any subsequent resale of the unit; and shall meet the requirements and guidelines of the Local Initiative Program; 5. A right of first refusal upon the transfer of an affordable unit shall be granted to the Town or its designee for a period not Tess than 120 days after notice thereof; 6. The continuing enforcement of the afford- able housing restriction shall be the subject of a monitoring agreement, and; 7. To the extent possible, any restriction cre- ated shall survive any bankruptcy, foreclosure, in- solvency or other action and shall not be nullified for any reason. 413.4 Development Regulations. 413.4.1 Location of Affordable Housing Units. The Affordable Housing Units shall be dispersed throughout a development. For multi -family devel- opments, Affordable Housing Units shall be dis- persed throughout the buildings and the floors of each building such that no single building or floor therein has a disproportionate percentage of Afford- able Housing Units. 413.4.2 Comparability Affordable Housing Units. The Affordable Housing Units shall be comparable to market -rate dwelling units in exterior building materials and finishes; overall construction quality; and energy efficiency, including mechanical equip- ment and plumbing, insulation, windows and heat- ing and cooling systems. In addition: 1. When the affordable units are detached - single family dwellings, the affordable units shall be similar in size to the market -rate detached single- family dwellings in the development unless the Plan- ning Board grants a Special Permit to authorize smaller units; and 2. In any two-family or in any multi -family dwell- ing, the affordable units may differ from market -rate units in gross floor area, provided that the bedroom mix in affordable units shall be generally proportional to the bedroom mix in market -rate units, unless the Planning Board grants a Special Permit to autho- rize a different mix for the affordable units. 65 413.5 Timing of Issuance of Building Permits, Construction and Certificates of Occupancy. 413.5.1 No building permit shall be issued for any project which contains affordable dwelling units developed under Bylaw section 412, the Village Center and Village Center Core District Bylaw until the affordable dwelling units shall qualify as low and moderate income units for purposes of G.L. c. 40B § 20-23 and have been approved by the DHCD as eligible for the Affordable Housing Inventory under 760 CMR 45.00, the LIP Program. The developer shall be responsible for preparing and complying with any documentation that may be required by the DHCD and the Town to qualify affordable hous- ing units for listing in the Chapter 40B Subsidized Housing Inventory. 413.5.2 No building permit shall be issued for a rental development with affordable units until a regu- latory agreement and monitoring agreement that has been approved by the Affordable Housing Commit- tee and Town Counsel has been recorded at the Registry of Deeds. 413.5.3 Unless a different schedule is approved by the Building Commissioner, affordable units shall be constructed in proportion to market -rate units. Compliance with this regulation shall be determined on the basis of building permits and occupancy permits for the affordable units and the market -rate units. Affordable units will not be the last to be built in any development. 413.5.4 No Certificate of Occupancy shall be issued by the town for a homeownership afford- able housing unit until the developer submits an affordable housing restriction, monitoring agreement and regulatory agreement that has been approved by the Affordable Housing Committee and Town Counsel, and recorded at the Barnstable County Registry of Deeds. 413.6 Selection of Qualified Purchasers or Rent- ers. 413.6.1 The selection of qualified purchasers and renters shall be carried out under an affirmative marketing plan approved by the Affordable Hous- ing Committee and which meets the requirements of the DHCD Local Initiative Program. The affirma- tive marketing plan shall describe how the afford- able units will be marketed to potential homeowners or renters. The affirmative marketing plan shall de- scribe the lottery or other process to be used for selecting buyers or renters. The marketing plan must describe how the developer will accommodate lo- cal preference, if any, established by the Board of Selectmen, in a manner that complies with nondis- crimination in tenant or buyer selection guidelines of the Local Initiative Program. 413.6.2 To the extent permissible by law, the developer is encouraged to provide at least 70% of any affordable dwelling units for persons or families living or working in the Town of Yarmouth or having a substantial history and current connection with the town by reason of prior residence or attendance at town schools and current residence of close rela- tive in the town. 413.6.3 Potential purchasers of affordable hous- ing units are required to submit, at a minimum, cop- ies of the last three years federal and state income tax returns, and to verify, in writing, prior to occu- pancy of the unit, that his/her or their family income does not exceed the maximum allowed. 2. Add the following new definitions in the section 500 Definition section: AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTION: A contract, mortgage agreement, deed, restriction or other legal instrument, acceptable in form and sub- stance to the Town of Yarmouth, that effectively re- stricts occupancy of an affordable housing unit to qualified purchaser or qualified renter and which provides for administration, monitoring and enforce- ment of the restriction during the term of affordability. An affordable housing restriction shall run with the land in perpetuity or for the maximum period of time allowed by law, and be enforceable under the pro- vision of M.G.L. c. 184, § 26 or 31-32. AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNIT: A dwelling unit reserved in perpetuity for ownership or rental by a household earning Tess than 80% of area median family income, and priced to conform with the stan- dards of the Massachusetts Department of Hous- ing and Community Development (DHCD) in order 66 that such affordable units shall be included in the DHCD Subsidized Housing Inventory.

MARKET -RATE DWELLING UNIT: All dwelling units that are not affordable housing units as de- fined herein. MAXIMUM AFFORDABLE PURCHASE PRICE OR RENT: For homeownership units, a purchase price that is affordable to a low or moderate -in- come household paying no more that 30% of gross monthly income for a mortgage payment, property taxes, insurance and condominium fees, where applicable; and for rental units, a monthly rent that is affordable to a low- or moderate -income house- hold paying no more than 30% of its gross monthly income for rent and utilities. The household income used to compute the maximum affordable purchase price or rent shall be adjusted for household size, considering the household size for which a proposed affordable unit would be suitable under the guide- lines of the DHCD Local Initiative Program or, where no such guidelines exist, under regulations adopted by the Board of Selectmen. QUALIFIED HOUSEHOLD: A low- or moderate - income household that purchases an affordable housing unit as its principal residence, and has not owned housing property for three years, or a low - or moderate -income household that rents an afford- able housing unit as its principal residence.

MOTELS 404.1 Goals and Purposes. The Town of Yarmouth, as a traditional resort destination, main- tains the majority of its hotels on the main corridor in the Town, namely Route 28. Although Yarmouth contains the most guest units of any Cape Cod Town, many of the motel properties have fallen into disrepair without reasonable alternatives to make necessary repairs, improvements and upgrades. Based on the great demand and inadequate sup- ply, Yarmouth also lacks a sufficient supply of hous- ing, including affordable and employee housing. As such, and with the inability to make profitable deci- sions as to the use of Route 28 properties, many motel owners have begun to utilize their properties as multi -family dwellings. Keeping in mind the eco- nomic goals of property owners, and the social and economic realities of the occupants of these mo- tels, as well as the reasons for the creation of these tenancies along Route 28, it is the intention of this Section 404: to provide a carefully controlled mechanism that promotes public welfare, community and economic opportunities, including business and housing, through the conver- sion of motel properties into new commer- cial, mixed, and/or multifamily housing uses, while on the one hand preserving and enhancing the ambiance of our historic community, and on the other, providing for safe living, eating and cooking facilities within Housing; to allow mixed use buildings with residen- tial use over retail, commercial, and/or of- fice uses; to allow for the creation and/or redevelop- ment of multiple units on a single lot, con- sisting of commercial space, and singles, duplexes, townhouses, and apartments, non -year-round vacation dwelling units, and affordable housing; 4. to provide the owners of applicable prop- erties with the ability to improve, renovate, and/or replace their properties to maximize the uses of limited lot size by easing bulk regulations and allowing for an increase in density. 402.2 Applicability. The provisions of this Sec- tion 404 shall apply to those properties or Tots (1) which are within the current B2 zoning district, and (2) for which a motel license has been issued, pur- suant to M.G.L. c. 140, § 32B, prior to and is in effective on April 11, 2006 or was issued a motel license after April 11, 2006 ("Applicable Property"). However, the following properties, denoted by the Map and Parcel as shown on the Yarmouth Assessor's records, are hereby specifically excluded from the provisions of this Section 404: Map 32, Parcels 65, 66, 68, 69, 83, 84, 85, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 135, 136, 154, 155, 169, 170, 171, 189, 190, 191; Map 60, Parcels 121, 122, 129, 130, 131,132, 133, 159, 160, 161, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169, 171, 172, 195, 196, 197; and Map 61, Parcels 22, 23, 24, 25, 28, 29, 57, 58, 59, 60, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82. 404.3 Project Approval. The lawful use of any structure or land in the B2 Zoning District, existing at the time of enactment or subsequent amendment of this section of the bylaw may be continued, al- though such structure or use does not conform with any other provision of the zoning bylaw. The cre- ation of motel uses and housing, as subsequently defined, on the same lot shall be permitted if the provisions of this Section 404 are met.

Keeping in mind the eco- nomic goals of property owners, and the social and economic realities of the occupants of these mo- tels, as well as the reasons for the creation of these tenancies along Route 28, it is the intention of this Section 404: 1. to provide a carefully controlled mechanism that promotes public welfare, community and economic opportunities, including business and housing, through the conver- sion of motel properties into new commer- cial, mixed, and/or multifamily housing uses, while on the one hand preserving and enhancing the ambiance of our historic community, and on the other, providing for safe living, eating and cooking facilities within Housing; to allow mixed use buildings with residen- tial use over retail, commercial, and/or of- fice uses; to allow for the creation and/or redevelop- ment of multiple units on a single lot, con- sisting of commercial space, and singles, duplexes, townhouses, and apartments, non -year-round vacation dwelling units, and affordable housing; to provide the owners of applicable prop- erties with the ability to improve, renovate, and/or replace their properties to maximize the uses of limited lot size by easing bulk regulations and allowing for an increase in density. 404.2 Applicability.

Goals and Purposes. The Town of Yarmouth, as a traditional resort destination, main- tains the majority of its hotels on the main corridor in the Town, namely Route 28. Although Yarmouth contains the most guest units of any Cape Cod Town, many of the motel properties have fallen into disrepair without reasonable alternatives to make necessary repairs, improvements and upgrades. Based on the great demand and inadequate sup- ply, Yarmouth also lacks a sufficient supply of hous- ing, including affordable and employee housing. As such, and with the inability to make profitable deci- sions as to the use of Route 28 properties, many motel owners have begun to utilize their properties as multi -family dwellings. Keeping in mind the eco- nomic goals of property owners, and the social and economic realities of the occupants of these mo - 87 tels, as well as the reasons for the creation of these tenancies along Route 28, it is the intention of this Section 404: 1. to provide a carefully controlled mechanism that promotes public welfare, community and eco- nomic opportunities, including business and hous- ing, through the conversion of motel properties into new commercial, mixed, and/or multifamily hous- ing uses, while on the one handpreserving and en- hancing the ambiance of our historic community, and on the other, providing for. safe living, eating and cooking facilities within Housing; 2..to allow mixed use buildings with residential use over retail, commercial, and/or office uses; 3. to allow for the creation and/or redevelop- ment of multiple units on a single lot, consisting of commercial space, and singles, duplexes, townhouses, and apartments, non -year-round va- cation dwelling units, and affordable housing; 4. to provide the owners of applicable proper- ties with the ability to improve, renovate, and/or re- place their properties to maximize the uses of lim- ited lot size by easing bulk regulations and allowing for an increase in density. 404.2 Applicability. The provisions of this Sec- tion 404 shall apply to those properties or Tots (1) which are within the current B2 zoning district, and (2) for which a motel license has been issued, pur- suant to M.G.L. c. 140, § 32B, prior to and is in effective on April 11, 2006 or was issued a motel license after April 11, 2006 ("Applicable Property").

The re- sponsibilities of the Board of Appeals are to hear and decide petitions for Special Permits, Variances from the terms of the Bylaw, and Appeals from the decision of the Building Inspector, as well as appli- cations 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'arevolunteers 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 at- tend the hearings. The Boards meetings are broad- cast live on Channel 18, the Public Access Televi- sion Station, and re -broadcast periodically through- out the week. The Zoning Administrators are an arm of the Board of Appeals and are appointed by the Board of Appeals subject to confirmation by the Select- men. The Zoning Administrators carry out the same functions as the Board of Appeals, operating under the same laws and procedures, but generally handle the less controversial or less complex cases. The Board's Zoning Administrators are currently Mr. John Richards and Mr. Joseph Sarnosky. During the year 2006 the Board of Appeals heard a total of 86 appeals. Of these, 75 were granted (in whole or in part) while two were denied, four were withdrawn and five are pending. During the year among the projects considered by the Board were 117 the approval of the new Fire Station on Buck Island Road, the rebuilding of Packet Landing on Bass River, and the construction of the new IFAW head- quarters on Summer Street, Yarmouth Port, and the construction of Walgreen's on Route 28 in South Yarmouth. Seven Family Related Apartments and two Affordable Accessory Apartments were also permitted this year. The Board continues to work with the Planning Board and Community & Economic Development Committee on various Zoning amendments and changes throughout Town. There were no changes in the membership of the board this year. I wish to thank our Regular and Alternate mem- bers, and our Secretary Rhonda LaFrance, for their dedicated and conscientious service to the Town throughout the year. David S. Reid, Chairman Rhonda LaFrance, Secretary Regular Members: David S. Reid, Chairman Sean Igoe Diane Moudouris John Richards Joseph Sarnosky Alternate Members: Douglas Campbell Steven DeYoung Debra Martin Richard Neitz Thomas Roche Forrest White DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT This past year, the Department of Community Development worked on a variety of planning and Community Development projects providing staff assistance to volunteer committees and to the gen- eral public. Adopted at the April 2006 Annual Town Meet- ing, the "Motel Bylaw" was drafted by an ad hoc committee comprised of representatives from the Planning Board and the Community and Economic Development Committee. The Motel Bylaw presents a unique opportunity along Route 28 and permits motel properties to redevelop by right as lodging facilities, as multi -unit housing, or as mixed-use projects. The Department continued work on a variety of affordable housing issues including updating the Town's inventory, monitoring the resale of afford- able homes, working with parties interested in de- veloping affordable housing in Town, and assisting Yarmouth residents to acquire affordable housing. Staff also provided support to the Affordable Hous- ing Committee and worked to secure grant funds to help further affordable housing planning and de- velopment efforts. Over the past year, staff and the Affordable Housing Committee have worked to de- velop a. plan for the creation and preservation of affordable housing in Yarmouth. Hopefully, this plan will be adopted in the Spring of 2007. Staff continued to administer the Town's Com- munity Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, distributing more than $140,000 in grants. Grant funds were used to provide loans for septic reha- bilitation, meals on wheels, and affordable housing. CDBG funds must be spent on low- and moderate - income households or persons. Staff continued to provide support to the Plan- ning Board, preparing for its business meetings, workshops, and public hearings. Applications were received and processed for Approval Not Required (ANR) plans, preliminary subdivision plans, and de- finitive subdivision plans. Staff also worked with the Planning Board in the preparation of zoning articles for Annual and Special Town Meetings. Plans for the South Yarmouth Village Center continue to be a priority for staff. With the creation of a new ad hoc committee, we are hopeful to present a plan in future that will be beneficial for all residents and visitors to this unique area. As always, the work of the volunteers who con- tinue to devote their time and energies to the Town is much appreciated. Respectfully submitted, Karen M. Greene, Director Terry Sylvia, Town Planner Mary Waygan, Administrative Assistant Jennifer Coutinho, CPA Assistant PLANNING BOARD The Planning Board has had another busy and productive year The officers of the Board were Col- leen Kramer, Chairman; Brad Goodwin, Vice -Chair- man; and Bryant Palmer, Clerk. In July, member Eric Tolley left the Board after many years of service. New member Curtis Sears was appointed by the Selectmen to fill the vacancy in November. In 2006, the Planning Board held 24 business meetings, 28 workshops, and 10 public hearings. The Board acted on 10 Approval Not Required (ANR) plans and 1 preliminary subdivision plan. 38 new lots were created and 5 lots re -combined. 3 projects were reviewed under the Zoning Bylaw's Revital- ization Overlay Architectural District provisions and 1 Scenic Road hearing was held. The Planning Board presented 8 zoning articles at the Annual Town Meeting in April, 2006, and 2 zoning articles at Special Town Meeting in September 2006. Board members also attended various training sessions and met with other town boards and com- mittees, as well as neighborhood organizations, on items of mutual interest and concern. Planning Board members served on other town committees and worked for other community groups as well: Mr. Palmer served as the Planning Board's repre- sentative on the Affordable Housing Committee and served on the Yarmouth Housing Authority; Ms Kramer served on the Medical Overlay District Com- mittee; Mr. Goodwin served on the Capital Budget Committee, the Marina Committee, and the Inte- grated Waste Water Committee and an ad hoc com- mittee investigating affordable housing issues. Former member Eric Tolley served as the Board's representative on the Community Preservation Committee (CPC) and on an ad hoc committee to create an Architectural and Site Design Standard 118 for motel conversions. Mr. Roche took up the post as the Board's representative to the CPC upon Mr. Tolley's resignation in July and also serves as an alternate on the Board of Appeals and on an ad hoc committee reviewing the village center concept for Yarmouth. Mr. Sears also serves as a regular member of the CPC. Ms Post served as the Board's representative on the Community and Economic Development Committee (CEDC) and on an ad hoc committee to update the Zoning Bylaw's Use Code. Mr. Goodwin and Mr. Tolley also served as mem- bers of a CEDC ad hoc sub -committee focusing on motel conversions. Mr. DeYoung served on ad hoc committees charged with updating the Zoning Bylaw's Sign Code and the village center concept. Mr. DeYoung also served as an alternate on the Board of Appeals. The Board thanks staff for their assistance and looks forward to another busy year. Respectfully submitted, Colleen Kramer, Chairman Brad Goodwin, Vice -Chairman Bryant Palmer, Clerk Steven DeYoung Tracy Post Thomas Roche Curtis Sears Former member: Eric Tolley AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE The Yarmouth Affordable Housing Committee is responsible for the oversight and coordination of initiatives and projects that will increase the avail- ability 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 Community and Economic Development Committee as well as various non- profits such as Habitat for Humanity, Housing As- sistance Corporation, Our First Home, and the Council to End Homelessness. The Affordable Housing Committee met in regu- lar session 20 times in 2006 and for 1 workshop session. The Affordable Housing Committee also met with the Board of Selectmen three times to dis- cuss the need for affordable housing in Yarmouth. In 2006, the Affordable Housing Committee used their meeting time to review potential 40B projects, meeting with project proponents each time, and to discuss housing needs in Yarmouth. In addition to our regular meetings, the Committee also worked with the Community and Economic Development Committee (CEDC) to form ad hoc committees on Fees In Lieu of Affordable Housing and to adminis- ter the Motel Predevelopment Fund. The Affordable Housing Committee worked with the Baker's Path Colony and Friends Neighborhood Association and other neighbors to finalized plans for a housing development on Old Town House Road East in .South Yarmouth. These plans were endorsed by the Board of Selectmen in Decernber 2006. The Committee looks forward to continuing working on this project which has the potential to produce 12 single family, affordable homes. Previous efforts to develop affordable mixed income housing on Route 28 came to fruition with the passage of the Motel Bylaw at Annual Town Meeting. The Committee looks forward to meeting with project proponents and redevelopers of these properties. The committee members attended a number of training seminars, including a workshop on the recently finalized guidelines for the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Develop- ment (DHCD) Local Initiative Program (LIP). This past year, the Affordable Housing Commit- tee worked with the staff from the Department of Community Development on several projects, in- cluding the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, Brush Hill Road Housing Development, Forest Road Se- nior Housing Development and the Affordable Ac- cessory Apartment Program. To date, the Board of Appeals has approved six affordable accessory dwellings. Also this year, the Committee began work on the Town's Affordable Housing Action Plan which is designed to comply with DHCD's Planned Produc- tion Goals. The plan is designed to provide short term relief to the Town from 40B development if certain annual goals are met. The Committee plans to present the Action Plan to the public in early 2007. Affordable housing lotteries were held for the Even Keel Commons and Camp Street develop- ments. Interested home buyers should contact the Dept. of Community Development at 508-398-2231 Ext 275 for more information. 119 The Committee has presented three proposals to the Community Preservation Committee for the creation of affordable housing. Two of these pro- posals were passed at Special Town Meeting, one to fund a Motel Predevelopment Fund and one to fund a feasibility study of Town -owned land for the creation of affordable housing. The Committee an- ticipates a Buy Down Program funding request will be presented at April 2007 Town Meeting. Committee member and outgoing chairman Jim Hoben serves as our representative to the Com- munity Preservation Committee(CPC). Mr. Hoben tireless efforts promoting affordable housing were recognized by the Yarmouth Area Chamber of Com- merce which awarded him with the 2006 Public Service Award. would like to thank the members of this com- mittee for their hard work. 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. We are al- ways looking for a few new members! would also like to take this opportunity to wel- come the following new members Sharon Ladley, Mary Ann Gray, and Rebeca Nystrom. The com- mittee looks forward to another productive year and your involvement as we work to meet the housing needs of our community. Respectfully submitted, Alan Aarons, Incoming Chairman James Hoben, Outgoing Chairman Kieran Healy, Vice -Chairman Barbara Beeler, Clerk Deborah Bellows Mary Ann Gray Sharon Ladley Rebeca Nystrom Gloria Smith Kathy Valenti Bryant Palmer, Planning Board Representative Staff Members: Karen M. Greene, Staff Mary Waygan, Secretary COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE Established by the Board of Selectmen in Sep- tember 2005, the Community and Economic De- velopment Committee (CEDC) is charged with work- ing "to improve the quality and attractiveness of new and existing development so as to enhance, sus- tain and broaden the economic base of the com- munity, provide employment opportunities, and fos- ter a deeper sense of community among all resi- dents and businesses by encouraging the exchange of ideas on important community and quality of 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). The CEDC met 24 times over the course of 2006 at regular meetings, in meetings with the Planning Board, and at a variety of public meetings. In addi- tion, CEDC members participated in a number of Ad Hoc Committees. We encourage and invite any citizen or groups of citizens who are interested in community and economic development to attend our meetings. A large part of the CEDC's workload was in- volved in developing a bylaw to encourage revital- ization along Route 28 by allowing the redevelop- ment of motel properties. In conjunction with the Planning Board, a subcommittee created a zoning bylaw which was overwhelmingly approved by An- nual Town Meeting. Subsequently approved by the Attorney General's Office, the "Motel Bylaw" per- mits conversion of motel properties to multi -family housing, mixed-use (a combination of commercial and residential) developments, or to redevelop into more modern motel facilities. Continued support for the motel bylaw was re- flected in the approval at the September 2006 Spe- cial Town Meeting of $150,000 in Community Pres- ervation Act (CPA) funding to assist in the redevel- opment of Route 28 motel properties. CEDC chair- man along with representatives from the Affordable Housing Committee and the Planning Board are working to develop and implement the program. Working with the Planning Board and neighbor- hood representatives, CEDC members are partici- pating in an Ad Hoc committee to rework the South Yarmouth Village Center bylaw, previously devel- 120 oped by the Planning Board. The CEDC as a whole will continue to participate in outreach efforts asso- ciated with the Village Center concept. CEDC members are also working with repre- sentatives from the Affordable Housing Committee and the Planning Board to develop a bylaw that would be used in conjunction with future affordable housing bylaws to permit the option of making pay- ments to the Town in lieu of directly developing af- fordable housing. This option would provide the Town with the means to. possibly create a greater number of affordable housing opportunities. CEDC member Jack McCormack, continues to serve as the Committee's representative to the De- sign Review Committee, and participated exten- sively in the development of the Design Standards that were approved by the Planning Board in 2006. The Design. Standards currently apply to motel re- development projects. CEDC members continue to participate in an Ad Hoc committee to review the current use classi- fication system utilized by the Town and to convert this classification system, the Standard Industrial Classification, or "SIC" codes, to the more current North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS). Finally, CEDC members are participating in an Ad Hoc committee to review the Town's current sign codes. This committee, comprised also of repre- sentatives from the Planning Board and others, has just recently started, and we look forward to their recommendations in 2007. The CEDC looks forward to continued progress in 2007 and the many accomplishments that are within our reach. Respectfully submitted, P.Q. Smith, Chair Tracy Post, Vice Chair Paul Tardif, Clerk John Barker Robert DuBois Jack Hynes Jack McCormack Karen M. Greene, Staff Mary Waygan, Secretary 121 COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE Under the Community Preservation Act (CPA), the Town funds eligible projects for Community Housing, Historic Resources, Open Space, and Recreation. CPA funds are raised through a local 3% property surcharge and a State match (currently 100%). - The Community Preservation Committee makes project recommendations based on many factors, including the overall community benefit and the ability to meet Committee goals as outlined in the Community Preservation Plan. Membership con- sists of nine voting members: seven (7) members come from existing committees and the Board of Selectmen appoints two (2) citizen=at-large seats. Throughout the year, the Committee held 26 regular business meetings and spent a majority of meeting time interviewing applicants, reviewing projects, and refining its. Community Preservation Plan. A public hearing held on June 29 generated many CPA project ideas and suggestions, most of which were incorporated in the Plan. To date, the Committee has received 32 appli- cations. This past year, they recommended four projects at Annual Town Meeting and six projects at Special Town Meeting. All recommended projects were successfully voted at Town Meeting and CPA grants were administered in July. The approved projects are: Community Housing • $250,000 to assist with the creation of six (6) affordable homes on Brush Hill Road. • $150,000 for predevelopment costs associ- ated with the redevelopment of Route 28 motels under the Town's Motel Bylaw. This funding is available to qualified proprietors who raze existing structures and replace them with new structures that meet zoning and design requirements. • $30,000 to conduct a feasibility study of town - owned land for affordable housing. The study includes the evaluation of capacity based on current zoning, utility access, identification of wetlands, and determination of septic capac- ity. • $17,400 to support the design and engineer- ing services for a new heating/hot water sys- tem at the Yarmouth Housing Authority's af- fordable housing complex at Long Pond Plaza, home to more than 40 elderly and dis- abled residents. Historic Resources • $400,000 to restore the former Bass River Savings Bank building on Old Main Street. This building is home to the Cultural Center of Cape Cod, Inc. and offers a variety of cul- tural programs to Cape Cod residents and visitors. • $161,500 to preserve the Yarmouth New Church, a historic structure located on Route 6A, currently used for a variety of community activities. The Yarmouth New Church Pres- ervation Foundation, Inc. will apply the grant to restore the roof and provide handicap ac- cessibility. • $18,927 for the Historical Society of Old Yarmouth to preserve historic archives, pho- tographs, and maps with an archival storage system at the Gorham Cobbler Shop on Route 6A. Recreation • $75,000 to develop a Comprehensive Mas- ter Plan for Flax & Sandy Pond Recreational Areas. • $25,000 to purchase a parcel of land near Willow Street to facilitate the future connec- tion of the Yarmouth portion of the Rail Trail into Barnstable. These projects would not have been possible without community preservation funding. The Com- mittee thanks those involved with the Community Preservation Program and looks forward to another successful year. The Committee thanks Erik Tolley, former Vice - Chairman, for his commitment and involvement with community preservation and wishes him the best in his future endeavors.

The Commission's "charge" involves regulatory review. and issuance of permits pursuant to the Massachu- setts Wetland Protection Act, (M.G.L. Chapter 131, sec. 40.) and the Town of Yarmouth Wetland By - Law, (Chapter 143 of Yarmouth's General By -Law Code). In addition, the Commission manages ap- proximately 1800 acres of town -owned conserva- tion land in Yarmouth. Many acres contain hiking trails while many are set aside allowing natural eco- logical succession. The Commission conducted 77 public hearings during 2006. Notable projects included a new bridge/culvert across Crab Creek in Yarmouth Port. Once completed, the estuary will receive a better tidal flushing and public access will significantly improve. Stormwater attenuation will also be im- proved with new leaching facilities. The Riverview Resort on Parker's River proposed an ambitious plan to repair their failing seawall and bulkhead system. The Yarmouth Parks Division proposed and con- structed a new landscape layout for the Judah Baker Windmill on Bass River. Commission member Gary Ellis continues to serve on the newly created Community Preserva- tion Committee. Gary has been working with the committee in the area of open space preservation and has advocated the concerns of the Conserva- tion Commission throughout the year. The Conser- vation Commission's Administrator has been attend- ing on-going wastewater committee meetings each month. The Wastewater Committee is exploring fu- ture sewer needs for Yarmouth in order to combat excess nitrogen loads within our coastal and inland surface waters. The Commission's Administrator has also started work on the soon to be Yarmouth Stormwater By-law. The new statute is mandated by the Federal Government in all Massachusetts cities and towns. The By-law will create codified stormwater regulations for Yarmouth. Public hear - 122 ings will be conducted in the spring of 2007 in order to devise the proposed regulations. The Stormwater By-law will be up for discussion at the 2007 Annual Town Meeting. The Commission is looking forward to the 2007. The proposed footbridge over Bass Creek in the Callery-Darling Conservation Area will most likely be permitted during the spring and summer. Con- struction should begin in the fall. The project elimi- nates a restrictive culvert and creates an open wa- terway that will significantly enhance approximately 100 acres of dying salt marsh. As in past years, the Commission would like to thank the Engineering, Planning, Public Works and Natural Resources Departments for their support and assistance during the year. They make our job that much easier and in turn the townspeople ben- efit. Respectfully submitted, David D. Flaherty, Jr., Chairman William Fenton, Vice Chairman Edwin Hoopes, Secretary Gary Ellis Joan Carr Gerry Duffy Hugh March Staff: Sandi Clark, Office Secretary Bradford L. Hall, Conservation Administrator DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE The Design Review Committee, which was au- thorized at Annual Town Meeting in April of 2005, continued their design review duties in 2006. The committee meets prior to Site Plan Review hear- ings in order to prepare and submit relevant com- ments for all commercial projects reviewed through the Site Plan Review Process. Such projects are all located in commercial zoning districts located south of Route 6, as outlined in the Zoning Bylaw. The committee is assisted part time by Board Secre- tary, Maryclare Troiano. In addition to the Committee's charges de- scribed above, the members, along with Town Plan- ner Terry Sylvia and Erik Tolley, former Planning Board member, developed Architectural and Site Design Standards which were adopted by the Plan- ning Board on August 16, 2006. These standards were developed as a guide for commercial building projects subject to review by the Design Review Committee and Site Plan Review as well as stan- dards for projects falling under Zoning Bylaw Sec- tion 404, the "Motel Bylaw", which permits redevel- opment of existing motel properties as motels, multi- family housing, and/or mixed use developments. In 2006, the Committee held 23 meetings and reviewed 44 projects. In each case, the Committee designated a single member to attend Site Plan Review in order to present the group's comments, concerns, and suggestions. Initial fact and data gathering has also been accornplished by the Com- mittee in an effort to provide new guidelines and develop strategies in accordance with the goals of their charge. During 2006, the Board of Selectman approved the additionoft more members to the Design Re- view Committee. The Committee looks forward to a busy and productive year in which we continue to provide design guidance for commercial projects south of Route 6. The Committee hopes and anticipates that this guidance will be beneficial to the Town as well as the developer and that it will provide visual and functional improvements to Yarmouth's south -side commercial districts. Respectively submitted, Dick Martin, Chairman Charles Adams Tom DiPersio Jack McCormack Sara Jane Porter Staff: Maryclare Troiano, Secretary HISTORICAL COMMISSION The Yarmouth Historical Commission is estab- lished by Chapter 40, Section 8.D. of the Massa- chusetts General Laws for the purpose of preser- vation, protection, and the development of the his- torical and archaeological assets of the Town. It may also recommend to the Massachusetts Historical Commission places to be certified as historical or archaeological landmarks. Member's terms are three years and Associates are appointed annually to pro- vide specific expertise. 123 The Commission was very saddened by the sudden and unexpected death of our co-chair, Bar- bara Creedon, last summer. She was a great be- liever in historic preservation and dedicated to the preservation of Taylor/Bray farm in particular. Bar- bara also served on the Capital Budget committee for the Town and was always a willing and able worker. She is missed by all of us. This past year saw a number of resignations and new appointments to the Commission. We wel- comed Dorothy Caprera as a new Commissioner and Carol Smith, Robert Cook and Ray Vanover as Associates. We look forward to working with them. We continue to collaborate with the Taylor/Bray Farm Preservation Association (TBFPA) which held three successful fund raisers this year. The Annual Sheep Festival in June continues to be a huge suc- cess as well as the Fall Festival and the Christmas Stroll in early December. Commissioner Ruth Weissberger has successfully forged a working re- lationship with the DY schools and conducted nu- merous educational tours of the farm for the 3rd and 4th graders, as well as some outside groups, such as the Riverview School in Sandwich. Ruth and her committee have many plans to expand the educational opportunities at the farm once the farm- house is renovated. To that end, the Community Development office under the guidance of Karen Greene hired an architect this past summer, Durland Van Voorhis from New Bedford to draft a schematic Design Report for the Taylor Bray Farm House Reno- vation. This has resulted in a project submission to the Community Preservation Committee (CPC) to fund the proposed costs from CPA funds. If recom- mended at the committee level, it will go before Annual Town Meeting in 2007 for (hopefully) ap- proval. The YHC and the TBFPA are also pursuing some grant opportunities for the farmhouse preser- vation. Once again, the Judah Baker Windmill was open to the public for tours during the summer months and we are grateful to Commissioner Stewart and her faithful volunteers for their service. This year visi- tors to the site were pleased to see the beautifully renovated park with new walkways, benches, grass and flowers. We thank the Parks Department for this improvement for all to enjoy. The Commission continues to monitor the Baxter Mill and the National Register Historic Dis- tricts. In South Yarmouth new signs have been placed at the east and west entrances to OId Main Street advising people that they are entering an his- toric district. We thank the South Yarmouth Asso- ciation for these signs and also the Bass River Civic Association for the work they do decorating Anni- versary Park and the village for the Christmas sea- son. We have worked effectively to promote the ad- vantages, both historically and economically, of his- toric preservation and the re -use of our historic build- ings as advocated in the Community Character/His- toric Preservation Chapter of the Yarmouth Com- prehensive Plan. We are particularly grateful for the help extended to us by our secretary Maryclare Troiano, who willingly and cheerfully assists us with our tasks.

Caprera Associate Members: Alice Bonacci Barbara Martin Robert Cook Carol Smith Ray VanOver OLD KING'S HIGHWAY The OId King's Highway Regional Historic Dis- trict is composed of the six towns of Sandwich, Barnstable, Yarmouth, Dennis, Brewster, and Or- leans. It is the largest historic district in America, one of the oldest, and covers some 37 miles con- tinuously along 6A alone. The Yarmouth Committee's District boundaries begin at Route 6 and proceed northward to Cape Cod Bay, from the Barnstable to Dennis town lines. Over 3,500 prop- erties fall within Yarmouth's OKH district. Chapter 470 of the Acts of 1973, as amended, governs the Yarmouth OId King's Highway (OKH) Historic District Committee and the OId King's High - 124 way Regional Historic District Commission (OKHRHDC). The OKH issuance of a Certificate for Appropriateness; Certificate of Demolition; and/or Certificate of Exemption is required for exterior changes to a structure or setting. A copy of our OKH Bulletin,which states the Act, rules, regulations, and guidelines, is available at the OKH office at town hall at no charge. In 2006, the Committee held 23 public hearings at the Yarmouth Port Fire Station, and acted upon 188 Certificates of Appropriateness; 57 Certificates of Exemption; 1 minor changes; 22 color changes; 45 sheds; 11 signs; 16 new houses; 4 Certificates of Demolition; 6 informal discussions; and accepted 113 "like for like" routine maintenance letters. There were no appeals to the Regional Commission. The following exterior changes require an OKH Certificate prior to construction: new buildings, other new structures, demolitions, alterations, windows, doors, additions, siding, sheds, decks, signs, walls, fences, flagpoles, chimneys, skylights, and change of color except to white. The use of vinyl is not en- couraged, as other products are now available. There were many violation citations issued by the Building Commissioner, the OKH enforcement officer, where a fine may be levied for non-compli- ance of a Certificate, or work done prior to the issu- ance of a Certificate. A Certificate is valid for one year. A one-year extension may be requested by the applicant prior to the Certificate's expiration. A Certificate from the OKH is not a substitute for a Building Permit. At the Commission level, the chairman attends Appeals hearings and regularly consults with our OKHRHDC attorney, James Wilson, Esq., with any legal questions that arise. An informal informational meeting is held annually for all members of the six towns within the Old King's Highway Regional His- toric District with Attorney Wilson. An annual meet- ing with the Building Department on 6/28 discussed 125 a plan of action to resolve issues of mutual con- cern. The OKH encourages informal hearings. These meetings are of great benefit especially for large or complicated projects, prior to the investment of time and money by our applicants. We are hopeful that all realtors duly inform their clients if a house is within the Historic District. To help address the issue, a reminder memo is posted on the local cable channel, the Building Department, town hall information table, and the OKH office. Property owners within the OKH historic district also receive this reminder annually in their spring water bills. We wish to thank OKH member Unda Barsch who left Yarmouth in mid-term for a beautiful an- tique house down Cape: We wish her well. New member Matthew Credit was appointed to OKH in November to fill the vacancy. Matt is active in con- struction where antique house preservation and woodworking are his specialties. He joins Scott Fisher, Mike Sifford and Richard Gegenwarth who are also active in the trade. Scott Fisher was reappointed as Architect/con- tractor. He brings much knowledge and balance to the committee. Marilyn Swenson was reappointed as committee alternate and does a great job as vio- lation officer. With our terrific secretary, Maryclare Troiano, we have a very knowledgeable commit- tee. Respectfully submitted, Deborah Gray, Chairman Scott Fisher, Vice Chairman, Architect/Contractor Richard Gegenwarth, member Mike Sifford, member Linda Barsch/Matthew Credit, member Marilyn Swenson, alternate CAPE COD COMMISSION The Cape Cod Commission provides regional services and serves as a coordinator of many projects and activities that affect all of Barnstable County. The Commission also provides technical assistance to each Cape town on request. Activi- ties involve promotion of affordable housing, de- mographic and economic data analyses, economic development programs, geographic mapping and data analyses, historic preservation, marine and coastal resource protection, preservation of open space and natural resources, transportation plan- ning and analyses, solid and hazardous waste man- agement, and water quality and water supply pro- tection.

Respectfully submitted, Charles Lockhart Yarmouth Representative to the Cape Cod Commission COMMUNITY SERVICES YARMOUTH TOWN LIBRARIES This year the Yarmouth Town Libraries created and approved a Five Year Plan of Service for FY 2007-2011. The plan is available at all three librar- ies and at www.yarmouthlibraries.orq. At the heart of the plan is the mission statement: Yarmouth Town Libraries will provide expert assistance in serving the needs of the commu- nity with up-to-date information resources broad enough to meet the needs of its residents. The public will have access to, and increased aware- ness of, current topics and titles in multiple for- mats. Yarmouth Town Libraries will encourage a community of readers and learners of all ages by inspiring children to become life long learners and by facilitating continuous learning for adults. Yarmouth Town Libraries will offer safe, ac- cessible, spaces to give citizens opportunities to meet for conversation, formal and informal gath- erings, and programs. The Five Year Pian Committee included Town Library Board members, citizens, and staff: Annmarie Gavin, Chair Jacqueline Adams, Library Director John Basile George Burr Patricia Cassisi Carol Devir Virginia Gifford Inna (vers Martha Krueger Olive March Anne Cifelli Robert DuBois Helen Greenhow Julia Monteiro Johnson Mark Lohan Martha Powers John Rice Jayne Southworth The South Yarmouth Library underwent repairs to address health and safety issues connected with the HVAC systems and to secure the building en- velope. Brown, Lindquist, Fenuccio & Raber were the architects and Builders Systems Inc. was the General Contractor. The repairs, which temporarily closed the South Yarmouth Library, took place be- tween February and May 2006. During that time, the South Yarmouth operations and extended hours were moved to the West Yarmouth Library. Many thanks to the YTL staff for their cooperation, coor- dination, and flexibility that kept library services run- ning smoothly during this period. In spite of this closure, the Yarmouth Town IJ- braries maintained their position as the second busi- est library system on the Cape. Registered borrowers: 14,494 Circulation: 191,768 Items provided to other libraries: 22,996 Items borrowed from other libraries:21,338 Library visitors: 148,690 Reference questions answered: 6,682 Children's programs: 183 Attendance at children's programs: 1,687 Adult and Young Adult programs: 45 Attendance at Adult and Young Adult programs: 1,465 Number of volunteers: 62 Volunteer hours of service: 4,341 Meeting Room use: 340 Computer use: 700 (average per week) Visitors to Library Website: 27,488 In the fall of 2005, a citizen survey was con- ducted to help identify the opinions, priorities, and needs of the community covering future library hours of operation, number of libraries, and locations of libraries. Early in 2006 survey results were compiled and analyzed, pro bono, under the direction of a Professor of Public Management from Suffolk Uni- versity, Sawyer School of Management. The find- ings were presented to the Selectmen in May 2006. As a result of that meeting, the Town Library Board was charged with making a recommendation on hours of operation and facilities using existing li- brary resources. In response to that charge, the Town Library Board solicited community input, identified sce- narios, and debated options surrounding these is- sues. Using this information, the Town Library Board balanced the requests of the community with avail- able resources. Their goal was to make a recom- mendation that would best address the service needs of the entire community, while limiting the impact on the village libraries. After thoughtful de- liberation, the Board chose a scenario that included adding Sunday hours while retaining evening hours. The South Yarmouth Library was chosen for Sun- day hours because it has the largest and broadest collection of materials for both adults and children and the most public access computers. Unfortu- 129 nately, to stay within the current budget, South Yarmouth could not be open on Sunday without reducing hours on other days at all three libraries. In October 2006, The Board presented the Se- lectmen with a proposal recommending that the three village libraries remain open with reduced hours and that Sunday hours at the South Yarmouth could be implemented on a trial basis for January - May and September -December 2007. Sunday hours will be discontinued June through August. Yarmouth Town Libraries were pleased to intro- duce downloadable E-audiobooks from Recorded Books and NetLibrary this year. This exciting ser- vice offers hundreds of digital audiobook titles in- cluding best selling fiction and nonfiction, the award- winning Pimsleur language series and a collection of children's and young adult titles. E-Audiobooks are available 24/7 from your home computer. Wi-Fi (wireless internet access) has been offered at all three Yarmouth Libraries since November 2005. Four laptop computers are now available for the public to use anywhere in the library. Thanks to Trish Cassisi, our reference librarian, relevant print and electronic resources continue to provide our users with up to date access to a vari- ety of essential topics including medical, consumer, and investment information for all ages. Attendees at a program on Alternative medicine were amazed at the plethora of resources available. LearningExpress Library is the newest addition to our database resources. It provides a completely interactive online learning platform of practice tests and tutorial course series designed to help you suc- ceed on the academic or licensing tests you must pass. In addition, the Ancestry Plus data base con- tinues to be very popular and we have renewed our subscription for another year. Yarmouth Town Libraries welcomed four new employees this year: Kathleen Tshonas, Library Technician; Matthew Wilson, Principal Department Assistant; Chardell Davis, Senior Library Technician; and Cody Schaefer, Library Page. Marion Broidrick has stepped down as Chair of the Town Library Board. Her dedication and stead- fast support will be greatly missed. The Board ap- pointed George Burr as the new Chair. The Board also welcomed new members: Helen Pallas -Viola, Carolyn Gale, and Carol Forest. The three library associations and friends con- tinued their commitment to support and enhance library services. They conducted a number of very successful fundraising activities to help enrich library materials and programs. These activities included book and yard sales, spaghetti suppers, and the first cookie stroll. Their support of the YTL and its staff is greatly appreciated. Thanks also to our 62 dedicated library volun- teers who worked for 4,341 hours this year. With- out them, many programs and services would not be possible. Library programs for all ages are an integral part of ongoing library service to the Yarmouth Commu- nity. Adult programs attracted 1,465 people in 2006. Sven Siemen, our generous benefactor, made pos- sible the Annual Art lecture provided by Charles Sovek, the Cecelia Siemen Scholarship awarded to Katrine Burkitt, and new additions to the art col- lection. The South Yarmouth Trustees again offered their well attended series hosted by the Program/ Hospitality Committee chaired by Marge Fallows. The Great Books group, led by Pat Polillo, entered its ninth successful year. West Yarmouth continued its very popular BookTeasers program. Under the guidance of Martha Powers, members discuss their favorite books while they sip tea prepared by vol- unteer Peg Whitney. Nearly 1,700 children attended programs at YTL in 2006. After the success of last year's community service -based summer reading program, we were eager to repeat our success. Over 120 children par- ticipated in our "Read to Feed" summer reading program. This year readers read to earn money for the Family Pantry in Harwich. The Family Pantry serves all of Cape Cod, with 22% of its clients from Yarmouth. The Yarmouth Town Libraries and their Top Readers from the summer presented, Execu- tive Director Mary Anderson with a check for $530. During October and November, the South Yarmouth and Yarmouth Port Libraries again dis- played items from the Edward Gorey House Mu- seum and the Edward Gorey Estate. Many thanks to the dedicated Library staff, the Town library Board, the Library Trustees/Associa- tions, the Town Administration, the Selectmen and the citizens of Yarmouth for their continued support. 130 Respectfully submitted, Jacqueline Adams Director of Libraries NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION Natural Resources Law Enforcement/ Management Section Calls for assistance to the Division of Natural Resources remained high in 2006, as often is the case with trends in wildlife patterns; they vary from year to year with different species. This year coyote and fox calls ranging from sightings to concerns with potential pet and human conflicts picked up significantly compared to 2005. Our bird calls were high from July to September due to West Nile Virus with a large number of birds being reported with only a moderate number of birds being tested. We had three (3) birds test positive for West Nile in 2006. The bird specimens we collect provides data to assist the Town of Yarmouth Health Department and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health in determining the level of human risk in a particular area. Avian Influenza (Al) brought a new level of awareness and concerns requiring a new topic for public education. The Avian Influenza (Al) H5N1 vi- rus has not been detected in the United States to date. Rabies Investigation/Surveillance/Baiting 'Only one (1) animal tested positive for rabies in 2006, a dramatic drop off from 2005, indicating a direct relationship to the dramatic drop in the rac- coon and skunk population. Nevertheless, the divi- sion continued to respond to every call pertaining to sick animals and handled each call in accordance with proper procedures for handling potentially ra- bid animals. The division continues to work closely with the Yarmouth Health Department in investigat- ing and following up on exposure cases. The divi- sion collected data for the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture, Wildlife Services, and the Ra- bies Surveillance Program on Cape Cod. Under this surveillance program, all suspect mammals that were picked up by the division were submitted to the USDA Wildlife Services to be tested for rabies at a later date by the Mass Dept. of Public Health Laboratory. The division, along with the Health Department, USDA Wildlife Service, U.S. Coast Guard, Barnstable County Health and the Environment and volunteers from the SeniorAmeriCorps participated 131 in the rabies vaccine baiting program sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine. Baits were distributed across Yarmouth in the spring and fall of 2006 to vaccinate as many wild animals against rabies as possible. The division also served as the headquarters for the rabies baiting program operations from Yarmouth to Provincetown during the spring and fall of 2006. The rabies baiting barrier breach that we expe- rienced in 2004 has raised national and international interest in the efforts that are taking place to man- age and eliminate rabies on Cape Cod. In turn, ad- ditional studies have been initiated in a coopera- tive effort with the USDA Wildlife Services to com- bat rabies and develop a more efficient way to dis- tribute the rabies vaccine to wildlife. The division continues to assist USDA with the logistics of trap- ping raccoons in a three (3) square mile study area and adjacent areas as well as other data collection and planning. Once the data was collected all healthy, the animals were ear -tagged and released. Rabies Education The Natural Resources Division in cooperation with the Health Department conducted educational and training on rabies awareness that was devel- oped to be age and audience appropriate to include elementary school children, day and overnight chil- dren campers and staff, municipal employees, po- lice and other law enforcement agencies and the general public. A fully narrated version of the gen- eral public forum has also been shown on the pub- lic access cable television channel. Natural Re- sources and Health Department staff appreciated the opportunity to conduct a second year of age appropriate rabies awareness programs to the stu- dents at the Laurence C. MacArthur Elementary School. Wildlife Response/Education As always the division responded to a wide va- riety of animal calls due to sickness or injuries, nui- sance animal questions, and general information inquiries. Our role remains the same in that we con- tinue to respond to sick or injured animals or to ani- mals that may be posing a public safety threat. A major component to much of our response to wild - life related issues is to educate the public on how to ensure their safety and minimize conflicts, as well as provide information on how to coexist with the abundant wildlife found on land and in the waters of Yarmouth. Coyote and fox inquiries as well as reports requiring responses increased significantly in 2006. Our message to people who are encoun- tering coyotes or foxes in their yards is to try to scare them away with mild harassment techniques such as 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. Also, under no circumstances attempt to feed these or any wild animal; remember you and the animal will be better off if they are wary of you and they do not associate you or your yard with a food source. 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 119 Fox 123 Raccoon 65 Skunk 58 Bird 54 Opossum 23 Deer 20 Seal 7 Dolphin 6 Bat 21 Turtle 14 Snake 5 Rabbit 4 Squirrel 23 Fisher 1 Turkey 8 Wildlife Habitat Management We constructed a new osprey nesting pole alongside of Crab Creek in Yarmouth Port this spring, and there was a pair of birds that occupied it within days of it being erected. All of the other poles in town that have historically been occupied were occupied again this year, as well. The division continued to patrol and maintain the Long Pond herring run. We are still under a state- wide three (3) year moratorium on the harvest, pos- session, or sale of river herring. Unfortunately the number of fish spotted in the run this year was even lower than last year. We are hopeful that with the moratorium and management techniques imple- mented by this division as part of a collaborative effort with the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries, we will once again see this local fishery bounce back. Once again we would like to thank AmeriCorps for their assistance in helping us main- tain our herring runs. Land Management The division was awarded a grant this fall from the Barnstable County Land Management Grant Program. The grant was awarded to purchase ma- terial to construct a 130 ft. elevated walkway in the Callery-Darling Conservation Area in Yarmouth Port. This walkway will protect a sensitive salt marsh area by providing a bridge over it and allow access to the 2.4 mile trail system. Division staff will start con- struction this spring once permitting for the project is in place. Law Enforcement Patrols The division continues to conduct patrols, checking sportsmen engaged in hunting for small game, deer, and waterfowl. These checks consist of the inspection of hunting or sporting licenses, stamps, bag limits, and tags. Officers also ensure that the hunters that they are checking possess a legal firearm and proper ammunition for the season and area that they are hunting in, as well as ensur- ing that the individual holds the proper firearm li- cense for said firearm. Officers continue to patrol areas where illegal dumping is likely to occur and investigate any such activity. Please continue to contact our office or the police department if you see this type of activity being conducted. We also still continue to respond to complaints of illegal dirt bike and all -terrain vehicles (ATV) ac- tivity and patrol problem areas where this activity is likely to occur as well. A joint effort between the division and the police department has resulted in resolving dirt bike and all -terrain vehicle issues in several neighborhoods. Foot and bike patrols con- tinue to be conducted in the town's conservation areas and trails. These patrols are used to evaluate the trails for safety, investigate illegal activities, as well as provide a presence to prevent crime. We encourage the public to report any safety concerns as well as illegal activity they may encounter when utilizing the town's conservation areas. 132 1 Shellfish Section Many areas in the town continue to be classi- fied as seasonally approved for the harvest of shell- fish by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Divi- sion of Marine Fisheries (D.M.F.). Water quality moni- toring continues to be a top priority of this division 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 di- rectly into our embayments and estuaries. Most of Yarmouth's shellfish beds are at least seasonally approved for the harvest of shellfish, with the ex- ception of the north side, Hallets Mill Pond, Lone Tree Creek and Bass Creek in Yarmouth Port. Rec- reational (Family) shellfishing was open in Mill Creek, Bass River, Wilbur Park, the eastern shore of Lewis Bay, Pine Island Cove and Lewis Bay from New Hampshire Avenue to Colonial Acres. In 2006, the division has continued with the Citi- zens Water Quality Monitoring Program which was expanded to include Bass River in its entirety. Grant monies acquired by the Division of Natural Re- sources allowed for this expansion to take place. . This is the 5th year of the Massachusetts Depart- ment of Environmental Protection Estuaries Program testing in Lewis Bay, Mill Creek and Parker's River, and the 4th year of testing for Bass River. This pro- gram is expected to continue into next year and will result in recommendations as how to reduce nitro- gen levels in our estuaries. A special thanks goes out to all that participated. The data collected will be used in a larger study 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 the levels should be and how the levels may be im- proved. Commercial quahog harvesting was open in Bass River, Lewis Bay to include Uncle Robert's Cove, Smith's Point and Nantucket Sound. Com- mercial harvest of soft-shell clams was open in Follins Pond, Bass River, Swan Pond and Parker's River. Due to the relatively average rainfall, Bass River North, (Rte. 6 to Follins Pond) was open for the harvest of quahogs for a total of 72 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 78 days. Bass River, Lewis Bay and Nantucket Sound has been open for the harvest of Bay Scallops from October 30, 2006 and will remain open to March 31 2007. In its sixth season working with the County seed shellfish program the Division of Natural Resources received 1.5 million 1 mm seed quahogs in June of 2006. With an average summer weather pattern, the production at the aquaculture farm was almost identical to last year's production. This resulted in an abundance of field plant sized seed quahogs in October when it was broadcasted into our recre- ational shellfishing areas. The alga produced in Parker's River was abundant and there were no mechanical problems at the facility which made it a good growing season. We did see an increase in the amount of sea lettuce produced in the Parker's River system that played havoc with the intakes at the upweller facility. In the fall of 2006, 650,000 18mm/22mm and 750,00014mm/18mm seed quahogs grown at the upweller facility were broadcast into our recreational shellfishing areas. Approximately 100,000 14mm/ 16mm seed quahogs from the Towns upweller fa- cility and 100,000 field plant quahogs purchased from Aquacultural Research Corp. were planted into Uncle Roberts Cove and Smiths Point for the com- mercial fishery. In 2006, the Shellfish Section conducted its annual contaminated quahog relay. A total of 1,000 - 80Ib. bags (80,000 lbs.) of quahogs ranging from seed to a four -inch maximum size were planted by the Yarmouth Shellfish staff. All contaminated shell- fish were planted in Lewis Pond. This area is sched- uled to be opened in the summer of 2007. The fall of 2006 was a poor scallop season for both recreational and commercial fishermen with a harvest of only 25 bushels between them. 133 2006 SHELLFISH STATISTICS PERMITS Recreational 943 @ $ 15/each.. $14,145.00 Non -Resident 18 @ $ 75/each $ 1,350.00 Commercial 28 @ $300/each .... $ 8,400.00 Commercial Eel 2 @ $ 25/each $ 50.00 TOTAL PERMIT SALES: $ 23,945.00 PRIVATELY LEASED SHELLFISH AREAS Great Island Oyster Co..

The grant was a direct response to a proposal that sought IFAW's financial assistance in order to accommodate Yarmouth's growing number of homeless cats. This fund has been established in order to provide medi- cal care and spay/neuter surgeries for animals in need. We extend our most sincere gratitude to IFAW, not only for their good work, but for enabling us to do ours. This coming year, when dog owners renew their dog licenses, they will be able to donate $1.00 to the medical care and spay/neuter fund. For those residents whose work schedules make it difficult to get to Town Hall during open hours, please note that dogs may be licensed through the mail. Please call the Clerk's office for more information. The annual report is a great way to share trends in pet ownership with Yarmouth residents. The fol- lowing facts may surprise you. Did you know that Massachusetts is the lowest dog owning state in the U.S.? 17% of households in Massachusetts own dogs vs. 19% of households which own cats. A study done by the MSPCA found that there are 725,000 owned cats in Massachusetts and another 500-800,000, free roaming cats. They also found that 1/3 of the free roaming cats, or 167,000 to 267,000 were either feral cats, or cats living in a feral state. A trend in cat ownership that Yarmouth Animal Control Officers applaud is the decision to keep your cat safely indoors. This will protect your pet from vehicles, predators, coming in contact with a rabid animal, becoming lost, as well as being ex- posed to other dangers. Keeping your cat indoors also protects wild bird populations which suffer in- determinate losses from feral and free roaming cats. Once again, many of our calls this past year concern sick, injured and lost cats. These cats could have been reunited with their owners had only they been wearing some form of identification. Over 17,999 cats have been euthanized in Massachu- setts since 1992 in order to be tested for rabies. Had these cats been wearing identification most of their lives could have been saved. If you have trouble keeping a collar and tag on your cat, call or stop by our office. We'd be glad to offer suggestions on safe, fool -proof collars. Our office is located at 600 For- est Road Extension, near the transfer station, across from the Division of Natural Resources main office. We encourage residents to call our office if you think you have a lost cat in your neighborhood. It is equally important to take immediate action if your own pet is ever lost. Rabies in raccoons crossed the Massachusetts border in September of 1992. The first animal to test positive in Yarmouth was a raccoon in Sep- tember of 2004. Yarmouth, like other Cape towns, had a large population of skunks and raccoons liv- ing in close proximity, so the disease spread rapidly the first two years, infecting and killing a Targe por- tion of the population of those two species. Vacci- nating dogs and cats against rabies not only pro- tects those animals from the disease, but also pro - 134 vides a protective barrier between wildlife and people. The Animal Control Section is a member of the Town of Yarmouth Code Enforcement Impact Team. The Impact team is made up of town inspectors, police, and animal control officers who work within the community to enforce town by-laws with a fo- cus on properties at which multiple code violations are reported or suspected. We continue to collect pet food at the Station Avenue Grand Union to distribute to families facing difficult times. We also accept donations at our of- fice. The 19th Annual Blessing of the Animals was dedicated to Maeve McGuire. Maeve is Yarmouth Animal Control's longest standing and most dedi- cated volunteer. We thank Maeve for all her kind efforts. We again thank our most generous spon- sors, Ann & Fran's Kitchen and Kaleidoscope Im- prints. In 2007, we are looking forward to initiating sev- eral new projects that will better serve Yarmouth residents and animals. These include updating the town's laws pertaining to animals, work on our website, and participating in emergency planning for animals and our community. We will continue to address the homeless cat population. Yarmouth's Animal Control Section would like to extend our warmest wishes to the Honorable Joseph J. Reardon. Judge Reardon, of Barnstable's First District Court, recently retired. He is a humani- tarian and a visionary who has given tirelessly to our community and will be dearly missed. The Animal Control Staff takes pride in its work helping to improve the quality of life for both people and their pets and celebrates each and every happy ending. We sincerely hope that 2007 is a safe year for both you and your pet.

Good weather, an increase in recreational boating and water sports activities, as well as growth in lo- cal sailing programs probably played a role in this trend. This season, the Harbor Patrol responded to a large number of calls, 32 of which involved the po- tential of Toss of life or property demanding imme- diate response. The remaining calls involve general aid to boaters or were in response to reports of vio- lations or waterway hazards. Of these calls, several were assists to Police and Fire Departments from Yarmouth, Dennis and Barnstable as well as the Massachusetts Environmental Police and the United States Coast Guard. The Harbormaster section continued to perform safety checks in an effort to raise public awareness of state and local boating laws. This gave officers the opportunity to interact with, and educate, boat- ers using Yarmouth waters on safe boating proto- col. In Massachusetts, any child under 12 years of age must wear a personal floatation device onboard any vessel that is underway. The town continued its efforts to improve water quality through the pump out program with the use of a pump out boat operated by the Harbormaster section. Approximately 600 gallons of septic waste was removed from vessels, free of cost to the boat- ing community. Water quality test continue to show the effectiveness of the program and the diminish- ing of marine waste along Yarmouth's shoreline. We are looking forward to another good sea- son in 2007. Respectfully submitted, Karl W. vonHone Natural Resource Director 136 DIVISION OF SENIOR SERVICES The Division of Senior Services provides a wide variety of programs, services and activities to pro-_ vide older adults the opportunity to remain physi- cally active, intellectually challenged, and socially engaged. The Division is also a resource for fami- lies and friends, who are concerned about an older person's well-being, and are seeking additional ser- vices to enable the elder to remain in their home with some support services. During the past year, the staff and volunteers at the Senior Center answered 14,720 phone calls from individuals requesting information and referral to a variety of local resources including: housing, Meals on Wheels, transportation, heating issues, home repairs, service providers, protective services and elder at risk. Volunteers are at the center of the work we do at the Senior Center. It would be impossible to pro- vide comprehensive services to Yarmouth residents without the 175 volunteers who so generously give their time to assist with Meals on Wheels, congre- gate lunch program, computer instruction, blood pressure screening, legal advice, nutritional and dia- betic screening, health insurance consultations, tax preparation, fuel assistance applications, bulk mail- ings, and transportation to medical appointments. With the inception of Medicare Part D the bur- den of helping people choose an appropriate pre- scription plan fell to staff at Senior Centers' nation wide. We are fortunate to have the regional SHINE (Serving the Health Information Needs of Elders Program) housed at the Yarmouth Senior Center. Staff and volunteers in this program counseled 619 individuals, a 100% increase in requests for assis- tance compared to FY '05. A total of $983,376 in benefits was obtained for these individuals through the SHINE Program. Federal and state tax returns were prepared by nine volunteers for 223 low -moderate income indi- viduals/couples. The nine volunteers attended a five day training program, sponsored by AARP and the IRS, and held at the Senior Center for the region. Their commitment to this program saved the par- ticipants a minimum of $22,300 in tax preparation fees. Applications for financial assistance through the federally funded Low Income Home Energy Assis- tance Program, which provides funds for Fuel As- sistance, were processed for 119 individuals' who were 1 st time applicants. As a result, these Yarmouth residents received $92,000 of savings on their en- ergy bills. Volunteers delivered 23,683 Meals on . Wheels to home bound seniors during the year, a 9% in- crease over FY '05. The Congregate site experi- enced a 1% decrease in meals served over the pre- vious year, serving a total of 3,362 meals._ These numbers reflect the general trend of frail elders liv- ing longer in their homes and being released from hospitals before they are capable of caring for them- selves. Seniors are asked to make a $2.00 dona- tion to offset the cost of the program which is fed- erally funded and administered locally by Elder Ser- vices of Cape Cod and the Islands (ESCCI). The Division of Senior Services works cooperatively with ESCCI to provide this service for elderly residents. The Town has granted ESCCI $21,580 from Com- munity Development Block Grant funds to offset the cost of this program. During FY'06, 33 people took part in the Tax Work -Off Program, sponsored by the Town, to en- able homeowners age 60+ to qualify for a $500 abatement on their residential property taxes by volunteering 83 hours in a Town department. They must work on specific projects to reduce backlog and fill in where needed. Their contributions have provided very welcome assistance to the depart- ments who have requested help including: Recre- ation, Town Clerk, Assessors, Town Administrator, Health, Community Development, Fire, Conserva- tion, Libraries and the Senior Center. We are very grateful to the Yarmouth Moose family Lodge for unfailingly providing rides to medi- cal appointments year round every Tuesday. They have driven 30 individuals to appointments Cape wide. This is a very valuable service for those with- out transportation for whom public transportation is not an option. The Division is most grateful for the financial support of the Friends of the Yarmouth Council on Aging who donated goods and services worth $16,333 to the Senior Center during FY '06. Sup- port for the following was provided: the intergen- erational reading group at Station Avenue School, taxi fares for medical appointments, 50% of the postage for the monthly newsletter, valances, reno- vations to our reception area, and entertainment. This past year, three long term members of the Friends Board resigned for various reasons and will be missed by the staff and the Board who are very appreciative of all the time and support they so freely gave to the group; Charles King, a founding mem- ber of the Friends group over 20 years ago, and who was instrumental in spearheading the fundraising drive that resulted in building the cur- rent Senior Center; Hal Shields, Treasurer, 12 years; and Ray Cohen who served as Secretary for 10 years. The contributions these men made will be realized for many years to come and they will be missed by all of us. We thank them for their service. We celebrated the 20th Anniversary of Betsy's Ballroom on April 1, 2006, by honoring Betsy Drake, founder of the weekly Saturday evening dances held at the Senior Center. When the current Senior Cen- ter was in the planning stages Betsy and her hus- band, Don, raised $25,000 to have a professional ballroom floor installed in the building with the un- derstanding they would manage weekly dances for the Friends. For the next 20 years, Betsy handled all the reservations and was at the door almost ev- ery Saturday night to greet people and make sure a good time was had by all. Over the years she was responsible for generating $102,000 in donations to the Friends organization. Sadly, Betsy passed away on August 11, 2006; her gift to the Town will continue to bring pleasure to many people for years to come. The Division received $1500 from the Cape Cod Community Foundation to support our Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered (LGBT) Elder Project. During the year we have organized two dances, a cook out, and a holiday concert featuring the Cape Cod Gay Men's Chorus. These programs are open to all who would like to participate and have been well attended. Many thanks to the Council on Aging Board for their continued support of the work done at the Senior Center, and for their willingness to pitch in whenever requested to help out with projects. We regretfully accepted the resignation of two Board members this year, Suzanne Cullinan and Margaret DeBonville. They will be missed and we thank them for all they did while serving on the Board. would like to thank the talented staff at the Senior Center: Cathy Flanagan, Lisa Noferi, Steve Gabrick, Hilda Davenport, Jeanette Hernon, and Mary Sears for all they do everyday to keep things running smoothly and efficiently. We said farewell to Shirley Regas, who retired in the spring. We wish her a wonderful retirement after seven years of fa- cility rentals and editing the newsletter. Always many, many thanks to all the municipal departments who are always willing to help out when asked. 138 Respectfully submitted, Karen Marciante, Director of Senior Services Robert Isadore, Chair Peter Campia, Esq. William Gallagher Gerald Haley Clare Hipp Virginia Robinson Elizabeth Sarnosky GOLF DIVISION The Division continues with the implementation of the recommendations from the National Golf. The Division continues improvements to the facilities and operations including: • Continued the successful administration of the lottery tee time reservations system pro- viding equity as well as convenience in resi- dent annual fee tee time distribution. • Continued efforts to improve the pace of play at the Town courses. • Continued the successful operation of the Golf Shops and the Bayberry Driving Range operation, generating $275,000 in revenue at the two courses; enhancing customer service to the patrons and better utilizing current golf shop employees, while holding the overall golf operation wages at over $70,000 below 2003 levels. • Began the installation of a new, state of the art irrigation system for the Bayberry Hills Golf Course. • Continued to upgrade the level of mainte- nance and service at the courses, with im- provements in methods and equipment; elic- iting compliments from residents and guests alike. • Collected a record $3,320,358 in revenue, yielding over $110,000 in excess over all out- lays. • The Golf Division continues to strive to pro- vide quality facilities and patron services. The division provides over 100,000 rounds of golf annually to residents and visitors. The im- provements made in FY2006 will help us to continue our mission. Rebounding from a difficult 2005 and respond- ing to difficult economic conditions and increased competition from off Cape courses, the Division's revenue for FY2006 exceeded its day to day oper- ating expense (including interest on debt, other ex- penses, and overhead charges) by $566,511. When principal payments on debt are included, revenues exceed expenditures by $112,843. In FY 2006 Total Golf Revenue was $174,188 higher than in 2005, making FY06 the highest total golf revenue year on record. The gap between re- ceipts and expenditures was positive, with an ex- cess of revenues over expenditures of $112,843 for the 2006 Fiscal Year, indicating that we are more than holding our own in the hyper -competitive golf economy that has seen rounds played fall, both na- tionally ationally and regionally, while the supply of golf courses available to play has continued to increase. It continues to be apparent that the decision to op- erate the courses' range and golf shops continues to pay dividends. The Golf Operation brought in some $275,000 in FY06 revenues from these sources, compared to our realizing only $10,000 as late as FY02. Savings resulting from the realignment of maintenance personnel and responsibilities be- tween the two courses yield similar dividends.

Toward this end, the Division seeks to ensure that new data is developed properly, that Yarmouth's existing data is being utilized effectively, that all departments have proper access to data, and that the Town's systems and equipment are being used to their full potential. The Information Technology Division is responsible for fulfilling these goals, as well as, designing, acquiring, installing, operating, coordinating, and supporting the main- tenance of voice, data, video and related telecom- munications services for all Town offices as well as cable television broadcast. The Technology Division made great strides toward these goals in 2006. The following sections list what was accomplished and what is planned for 2007. -Net The I -Net (which stands for 'institutional net- work') is a broadband fiber optic network which links 23 municipal buildings within the town allowing for high-speed transmission of information. Through the -Net, these town buildings currently share file, print, E-mail and Internet access. This past year was spent expanding this resource further. One example is the upgrading of backbone networking equipment be- tween town buildings. Existing 100 Megabyte net- working equipment was upgraded to Gigabyte speed. This is particularly important for the in- creasing number of Geographic Information Sys- tem (GIS) applications being implemented throughout town. 2007 will see the I -Net continue to be devel- oped and upgraded within town through the de- sign and implementation of effective and efficient methods of sending voice and video information between town buildings. Data Access and GIS The Division's goal in regard to electronic data has been to improve access to Yarmouth's elec- tronic information, especially for town offices out- side of town hall and the general public. Currently, Yarmouth's electronic data is being used for a vari- ety of purposes by an increasing number of depart- 141 ments. This has been accomplished through the use of the I -NET and our ability to access and utilize data from a variety of legacy databases. Sharing of this data through the I -Net allows the Town to maximize the capabilities of software ap- plications such as the Geographic Information Sys- tem (GIS). The GIS is an organized collection of computer hardware, software and geographic data designed to capture, store, update, manipulate, analyze, and display all forms of geographically ref- erenced information. This System allows users to perform very difficult, time consuming, or otherwise impractical spatial analyses. This year, the town has begun implementation of two GIS based applica- tions. The first is the Department of Public Works' Computerized Maintenance Management Software, which tracks work order requests via the GIS. Sec- ond is the Fire Department's 911 Dispatch System which maps all 911 calls and determines the fast- est route to a location. The Town has invested significant resources in its GIS and has put it to good use. However, we have only begun to tap the potential of such a sys- tem. Further investment will be required to build upon the existing system and expand its use by staff and the public. Channel 18 This year, Yarmouth's public access cable tele- vision channel, Channel 18, has added Live Video Streaming over the internet. This exciting new fea- ture 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 meet- ings to watch "on demand." We have remained busy recording and televising a variety of public meet- ings and events on Channel 18. Our part-time em- ployees record and replay Annual Town Meetings, Special Town Meetings, special events and infor- mational meetings, as well as, weekly meetings of the Selectmen, Board of Appeals and Conserva- tion Commission. In addition, the staff continually updates the Bulletin Board which provides notice of a variety of public meetings, events, and emer- gency and safety issues for Yarmouth residents. The staff do an admirable job to provide the best quality broadcast and programming possible with the lim- ited resources and equipment available. Next year we will be upgrading the Channel 18 cameras in order to improve broadcast quality. Employee Training Information technology training for employees is essential for staff to be effective in managing in- formation and providing services to the public. Employee training is done in several ways. One im- portant prerequisite for this is standardization. This past year training was provided on the Microsoft Office XP suite, the LaserFiche Document Manage- ment System and the MUNIS Financial Manage- ment System for all town employees. Additionally, ESRI Geographic Information System Software training was provided to departments expanding their use of the Town's GIS data. These training pro- grams have been well received and result in im- proved information services and improved produc- tivity. We will continue these programs to build the computing skills of Town employees in the years ahead. Web Page The objective of the Town of Yarmouth web page is to provide Yarmouth residents and the general public with pertinent and up to date information. The page provides viewers with a schedule of events, Committee and Board agendas and min- utes, 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 has undergone some significant changes this past year. In addition to the video streaming mentioned above, Departments such as Health, Community Development and Natural Resources have revised their web pages to provide a wide va- riety of information for Town residents and the pub- lic. We have made considerable progress in improv- ing information systems in recent years but there is still much to be accomplished. This year the voters of Yarmouth approved an override that included funds to hire a full-time Technology Specialist which doubled the size of the Division's full-time staff! This additional staff position will enable the Division to move forward with exciting projects in the years ahead while maintaining the existing information systems which the Town depends upon to conduct its business. Finally, I would like to thank the em- ployees in the town for their patience and coopera- tion while we implement these projects. Respectfully submitted, Shawn Maclnnes Director of Information Technology 142 RECREATION COMMISSION In 2006, Recreation Commissioner, Jim Carroll, the Commission's voice on the Community Preser- vation Committee (CPC), continued his excellent work in the representation of vital recreation inter- ests. Jim nterests.Jim and his colleagues on the CPC gave their support to funding a significant grant to assess the planning of needed repairs to outdoor facilities. As indicated in last year's report, many of the outbuild- ings have declined to critical levels. It is hoped that the community preservation funds will provide an avenue to provide the vital work needed to insure that the physical resources of the town continue to be available for the essential programs historically offered at these sites. The Recreation Commission continues to iden- tify the need for an indoor recreational facility as a high priority. Our total lack of town -owned, indoor facilities and dependence on school facilities for our indoor programs continues to be an unresolved is- sue. In addition to meeting the demands of pro- gramming needs, a community center would pro- mote fitness and health, and enhance the quality of life of people of all ages. The CPC committed to recommend to the voters an appropriation for a needs study for an indoor recreation facility and the proposal was acted upon favorably by the voters at town meeting. However, it was later learned that town counsel was of the opinion that the appro- priation was not authorized by the Community Pres- ervation Act (because the purpose of the study would be for the eventual construction of a "struc- ture" which is not permitted by the act). Thus, no such expenditure has been made and the project has been put on hold for the time being until this funding issue can be resolved. We are sorry to report that our Assistant Direc- tor, Nick Cacciolfi, resigned in December to pursue a professional opportunity off -Cape. Nick brought a considerable amount of talent and expertise to our recreation programs and will not be easy to re- place. He was an enthusiastic, energetic, hands-on recreation professional who made many valuable contributions to our department. We thank him for his dedicated service and wish him the very best in his new professional position. We also regret the resignation of long-time com- missioner, Donna Clifford, whose family circum- stances conflicted with her ability to serve as a full- time commissioner. We are deeply indebted to her for her many dedicated and diligent years of ser- vice to recreational interests. As always, we acknowledge the many volun- teers who have served the people of Yarmouth as coaches, program coordinators and volunteer staff. Without their dedication, sacrifice and service, the various programs in which they participate would not be possible. Their volunteerism, for which we are most grateful, continues to be an indispensable community resource.:.: Lastly, we take this opportunity to recognize the many valuable contributions of our Recreation Di- rector, Pat Armstrong; our Assistant Director, Nick Cacciolfi; office assistant, Donna Potter; commis- sion secretary, Cathy Flanagan; and the entire rec- reation staff. 143 Respectfully submitted, Michael F. Stone, Chairman Deborah Clark, Vice Chairman James Carroll, CPC Representative John Serijan Kim Cooney Mike Karras Jeremy Bogle MUNICIPAL FINANCE FINANCE DEPARTMENT The Munis Financial Management/Accounting software package has been in place for one year. The Town is starting to realize the benefits of this robust and integrated software. Besides the tradi- tional accounting functions available with the old package, Yarmouth has already implemented de- centralized use of Water Billing and Abatements, Motor Vehicle, Boat and other Tax processing. The processing of these transactions in the departments, closer to the customer, is reducing processing time and expenses. The decentralization of processing these trans- actions provide for improved customer service while holding down the rising costs related to processing greater numbers of financial transactions associ- ated with Town business. While the processing of certain financial transactions have been decentral- ized, the system and the processes put in place will also ensure that we adhere to Town policies as they relate to spending the tax payers money. Another customer service benefit of the Munis system is the ability for our customers (tax payers) to use credit cards to pay taxes via the Internet. During fiscal year 2007, we will continue to build on the foundation established in 2006 by using the financial management software to eliminate time consuming manual processes, eliminate redundant activities, decentralize functions and have reports and processes in place to control costs. would like to thank the Finance Department staff and all Yarmouth's employees for their contin- ued commitment, enthusiasm and effort put forth throughout the implementation of new software fea- tures. 144 Respectfully submitted, Sue Milne Finance Director TOWN ACCOUNTANT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR JULY 1, 2005 TO JUNE 30, 2006 Annual reports submitted in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 41, Section 61 of the Massachusetts General Law: SUMMARY OF APPROPRIATIONS & EXPENDITURES STATEMENT OF REVENUES Respectfully submitted, Susan Milne Director of Finance/Town Accountant 145 GENERAL FUND - OPERATING GENERAL GOVT MODERATOR SALARIES SELECTMEN SALARIES SELECTMEN ADMIN.

Sprague Town Collector 157 TREASURER have endeavored to invest the Town funds in collateralized bank accounts which with the increas- ing interest rates provided interest income over bud- get by $150,025. The treasurer's office continues to implement and use the new accounting package (MUNIS) one accomplishment was getting the tax title accounts on MUNIS. During the year funds were borrowed via a Bond for the purpose of the new fire house, roads and library improvements. Meetings were held with the Investment Committee who as- sists the Treasurer in the formation of the invest- ment policies. Once again, the tax bills were mailed in a timely manner hence, the Town did not have to borrow in anticipation of tax revenue. The Treasurer has continued to be very aggres- sive in collection of tax title accounts. The remain- ing uncollectible tax title accounts are in foreclo- sure process. Payment arrangements can be made on tax title properties thru the Treasurer. would like to thank my staff for their dedica- tion and hard work as they serve the employees and residents in a caring manner. I appreciate the opportunity to work for the Finance Director, Town Administrator and Selectmen of the Town. Thank you for your support.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Town of Yarmouth, Massachusetts management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion 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 our 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 principles 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, Massachusetts as of June 30, 2006, and the respective changes in financial position, cash flows, where applicable, thereof and respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report datcd November 21, 2006 on our consideration of Town of Yarmouth, Massachusetts internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements and other matters. 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 on 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 considered in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit. Management's discussion and analysis, on the accompanying pages, is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by accounting principles 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 measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it. 7-{he4,071,n L yncA, glen v-•tn u-ej L p.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to fmancial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Town's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the fmancial statements and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control over financial reporting that might be material wealmesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course o f p erforming t heir a ssigned functions. W e noted no matters involving the internal control over fmancial reporting and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses. Compliance and other matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Town's financial statements are free of material m isstatement, w e p erformed t ests o f i is c ompliance with c ertain provisions o f 1 aws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination o f financial statement a mounts.

T he results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. We noted certain matters that we reported to management of the Town of Yarmouth, Massachusetts, in a separate letter dated November 21, 2006. This report is intended solely for the information and use of Town management and Board of Selectmen and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Financial Highlights: • The assets of the Town exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by over $137.5 million (net assets). Of this amount, nearly $27 million (unrestricted net assets) may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. • The total cost of all Town services for fiscal year 2006 was nearly $65.7 million. • As of the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved fund balance for the general fund was nearly $2.2 million, or approximately 4.4% of general fund expenditures. Overview of the Financial Statements: This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Town's basic financial statements. The Town's financial statements are comprised of four components: 1) government -wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, 3) budgetary comparison statements, and 4) notes to financial statements. Government -Wide Financial Statements: The government -wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the Town's finances, in a manner similar to a private -sector business. The statement of net assets presents information on all of the Town's assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Town is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents inforniation showing how the government's net assets changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave). Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Town that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business -type activities). The governmental activities of the Town include general government, public safety, education, public works, health and human services, culture and recreation, and general administrative services. The Town's business -type activities include the water, septage and transfer station activities. Fund financial statements: A find is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Town, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements. All of the funds of the Town can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds. 180 TOWN OF YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS Management's Discussion and Analysis June 30, 2006 Governmental funds: Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. However, unlike the government -wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near- term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar inforniation presented for governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The Town maintains several individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund b alance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the general fund which is considered to be a major fund. The remaining funds are combined into aggregate funds in this presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non -major governmental funds is available from the Town Accountant's office. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found in the accompanying pages of this report. Proprietary funds: The Town of Yarmouth maintains four enterprise funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business -type activities in the government -wide financial s taternents. T his is the first year t he T own has accounted for golf operations as an enterprise fund, pursuant to a Town Meeting vote in fiscal year 2005. As discussed in Note 15 the financial statements beginning net assets have been reclassified between governmental and business type activities. In addition to golf operations, the town uses enterprise funds to account for its water, septage, and transfer station activities. Enterprise funds provide the same type of information as the government -wide fmancial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the water, septage, golf, and transfer station operations. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found in the accompanying pages of this report. The Town adopts an annual budget for its general fund, water, septage, golf, and transfer station funds. Fiduciary funds: Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government -wide financial statement because the resources of those funds are not available to support the Town's programs. 181 TOWN OF YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS Management's Discussion and Analysis June 30, 2006 The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found in the accompanying pages of this report. Notes to the financial statements: The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements follow the basic financial statements described above. Government -Wide Financial Analysis As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the case of the Town of Yarmouth, assets exceeded liabilities by $68.1 million and $69.4 million for the governmental and business -type activities, respectively, at the close of the most recent fiscal year. The following tables demonstrate the net assets of the Town *(statement of net asset amounts restated to account for change in the golf enterprise fund as a business -type activity, amounts reported on the statement of activities include revenue and expense of the golf course in governmental activities for fiscal year 2 005.

The largest p ortion o f the T own's n et a ssets ( 70.3%) r eflects i is investment i n apital assets (e. g., land, b uildings, machinery, a nd e quipment); I ess any r elated d ebt u sed t o a cquire those assets that is still outstanding. The Town uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the Town investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. An additional portion of the Town's net assets (10.1%) represents resources that are subject to restrictions placed on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets ($26.98 million) or (19.6%) may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. At the end of the current fiscal year, the Town is able to report positive balances in all categories of net assets. Governmental activities increased the Town's net assets by $675,008 during fiscal year 2006. Business -type activities decreased net assets by $650,389. A summary of revenues and major functional expenditures is presented below. Key elements of these changes are as follows: 183 TOWN OF YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS Management's Discussion and Analysis June 30, 2006 Revenues: • Property taxes represent 60% of the Town's governmental activity revenue. Property tax growth represents a combination of an annual increase, allowed in the levy under Proposition 2 %2, and new growth. Total Property taxes levied for fiscal year 2006 were within $45,000 of the maximum allowable levy. • Charges for services make up the second largest revenue representing nearly 25% of the Town's revenue. Significant revenues included in this amount are receipts from the beaches, ambulance and sanitation services. Expenses: • Increases in employee wages averaged approximately 2.8%, resulting from negotiated step and general wage increases. • Employee benefit costs rose by more than 10% due to rising health insurance costs. • Property and liability insurance costs rose by approximately 10%. • the cost of education increased 1.89%, due to negotiated wage settlements, employee health insurance cost increases, and special education cost increases.

Governmental funds - The focus of the Town's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Town's financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. As of the end of the current fiscal year, the Town's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of approximately $19.2 million. Approximately $16.2 million (84%) constitutes unreserved fund balance, which is available for spending at the government's discretion or as provided for in the terms and conditions of several applicable grant or custodial agreements or for capital projects. The remaining fund balance of approximately $3 million is reserved to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been committed to liquidate contracts and purchase orders of the prior period. The general fund is the chief operating fund of the Town. At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved fund balance of the general fund was nearly $2.2 million, while total fund balance was $5.2 million. As a measure of the generalfund's liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unreserved fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. General fund unreserved fund balance represents 4.4% of total general fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 10.3% of that same amount. It is essential that governments maintain adequate levels of fund balance to mitigate current and future risks (e.g., revenue shortfalls and unanticipated expenditures) and to ensure stable tax rates. During 2002 the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) issued a recommendation that at a minimum, general purpose governments, regardless of size maintain unreserved fund balance in their general fund of no less than five to fifteen percent of regular general fund operating revenues, or no less than one to two months of regular general fund operating expenditures. The Town's general fund unreserved fund balance of $2.2 million is 4.6% of general fund revenue. 185 TOWN OF YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS Management's Discussion and Analysis June 30, 2006 The total general fund balance of the town decreased by $1.1 million or 17.46% during the current fiscal year; however a reduction of approximately $2,000,000 was planned for 2006 through the use of reserves and other available funds in the fiscal year 2006 budget. General Fund Budgetary Highlights The difference between the original expenditure budget of $55.5 million and the final amended expenditure budget of $52.5 million can be briefly summarized as follows: • $3 million is reduced from the original budget figure for continuing appropriations (warrant articles) into future periods. Capital Asset and Debt Administration The Town annually prepares a capital budget for the upcoming fiscal year and a five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that is used as a guide for future capital expenditures. Capital assets - The Town's investment in capital assets for governmental activities as of June 30, 2006, amount to $71.9 million, which is net of accumulated depreciation of $37.3 million. The investment in capital assets includes land; buildings; improvements; machinery and equipment. The Town's investment in capital assets for business -type activities as of June 30, 2006, amounts to $64.39 million, which is net of accumulated depreciation of $51 million. The investment in capital assets includes land; machinery and equipment and infrastructure.

This is compared to $22.0 and $14.9 million, respectively, last year. All debt is a general obligation of the Town. The Town maintains an AA - bond rating from Standard and Poors. Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates • The Town has increased its property tax levy by 2'A% provided under Proposition 2 ''/.7 and by new growth as determined by the municipal revenue growth factor. • The Town's operating budget continues to increase over the FY 06 budget.

Organization and Reporting Entity A. Organization The TownofYarmouth, Massachusetts (the 'Town"), was incorporated in 1639. The Town operates under a Town Meeting form of government. The Town's major operations include police and fire protection, parks, library and recreation, public works and general administrative services. In addition, the Town owns and operates a water system, two golf courses, a septage facility and transfer station. B. Reporting Entity General The accompanying financial statements present the Town of Yarmouth (the primary government) and its component units. Component units are included in the reporting entity if their operational and financial relationships with the Town are significant. Pursuant to these criteria, the Town of Yarmouth did not identify any component units requiring inclusion in the accompanying financial statements. Joint Ventures The Town has entered into joint ventures with other municipalities to pool resources and share the costs, risks, and rewards of providing goods or services to venture participants directly, or for the benefit of the general public or specific recipients. The following is a list of the Town's joint ventures, their purpose, and the annual assessment paid by the Town in fiscal year 2006. Financial statements may be obtained from each joint venture by contacting them directly. The Town does not have an equity interest in any joint venture.

The Board of Commissioners, four who are elected and the fifth appointed by the Commonwealth are legally responsible for the overall operation. Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies A. Basis of Presentation The Town's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is responsible for establishing GAAP for state and local governments through its pronouncements (Statements and Interpretations). Governments are also required to follow the pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued through November 30, 1989 (when applicable) that do not conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements. Although the Town has the option to apply FASB pronouncements issued after that date to its business -type activities and enterprise funds, the Town has chosen not to do so. The more significant accounting policies established in GAAP and used by the Town is discussed below. The Town's basic financial statements include both government -wide (reporting the Town as a whole) and fund financial statements (reporting the Town's funds). Both the government -wide and fund financial statements categorize primary activities as either governmental or business type. The Town's police and fire protection, parks, library and recreation, public works, schools, and general administrative services are classified as governmental activities. The Town's golf courses, water, septage, and transfer station services are classified as business -type activities. Government -wide Statements In the government -wide Statement of Net Assets, both the governmental and business -type activities columns are presented on a consolidated basis by column and are reported on a full accrual, economic resource basis, which recognizes all long-term assets and receivables as well as long-term debt and obligations. The Town's net assets are reported in three parts—invested in capital assets (net of related debt); restricted net assets, and unrestricted net assets. The Town first utilizes restricted resources to finance qualifying activities. The government -wide Statement of Activities reports both the gross and net cost of each of the Town's functions and business -type activities. Gross expenses (including depreciation) are reduced on the Statement of Activities by related program revenues, operating and capital grants. Program revenues .must be directly associated with the function or a business -type activity. Operating grants include operating - specific and discretionary (either operating or capital) grants while the capital grants column reflects capital -specific grants. The net costs (by function or business -type activity) are normalcy covered by general revenue. 202 TOWN OF YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2006 Certain costs, such as pension benefits, property, liability and health insurance, state assessments, among others are not allocated among the Town's functions and are included in general govemment expenses in the Statement of Activities. The government -wide focus is more on the sustainability of 'the Town as an entity and the change in the Town's net assets resulting from the current year's activities. Fund Financial Statements The financial transactions of the Town are reported in individual funds in the fund financial statements. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self -balancing accounts that comprises its assets, liabilities, reserves, fund equity, revenues and expenditures/expenses. The various funds are reported by generic classification within the financial statements. The following fund types are used by the Town: Governmental Funds: The focus of the governmental funds' measurement (in the fund statements) is upon determination of financial position and changes in financial position (sources, uses, and balances of financial resources) rather than upon net income. The following is a description of the governmental funds of the Town: General fund is the general operating fund of the Town. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Special revenue funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. • Debt service funds are used to account for the accumulation of funds for the periodic payment of principal and interest on general long-term debt. Currently, the Town does not utilize a debt service fund. • Capital projects funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by business- type/proprietary funds). • Permanent fiends are used to account for financial resources that are legally restricted to the extent that only earnings, not principal, may be used for purposes that support the governmental programs. Proprietary Funds: The focus of proprietary fund measurement is upon determination of operating income, changes in net assets, financial position, and cash flows. The generally accepted accounting principles applicable are those similar to businesses in the private sector. The following is a description of the proprietary funds of the Town: 203 TOWN OF YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2006 • Enterprise funds are required to be used to account for operations for which a fee is charged to external users for goods or services and the activity is financed with debt that is solely secured by a pledge of the net revenues, has third party requirements that the cost of providing services, including capital costs, be recovered with fees and charges or establishes fees and charges based on a pricing policy designed to recover similar costs. Internal service funds are used to account for the financing of goods or services provided by an activity to other departments, funds or component units of the Town on a cost -reimbursement basis. Currently, the Town does not utilize internal service funds. Fiduciary Funds: Fiduciary funds are used to report assets held in a trustee or agency capacity for others and therefore are not available to support Town programs. The reporting focus is on net assets and changes in net assets and is reported using accounting principles similar to proprietary funds. The following is a description of the fiduciary funds of the Town: • Private purpose trust funds account for resources legally held in trust for the benefit of persons and organizations other than the Town. Since these funds cannot be used for providing Town services, they are excluded from the Town's government -wide financial statements. • Agency funds are used to hold funds on behalf of parties other than the Town, including federal and state agencies. Agency funds are custodial in nature and do not involve measurement of results of operations. The emphasis in fund financial statements is on the major funds in either the governmental or business -type activities categories. Nonmajor funds by category are summarized into a single column. GASBS No. 34 sets forth minimum criteria (percentage of the assets, liabilities, revenues or expenditures/expenses of either fund category or the governmental and enterprise combined) for the determination of major funds. The Town may electively add funds, as major funds, which have specific community focus. The nonmajor funds are combined in a column in the fund financial statements. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Town reports the general fund as a major governmental fund. The Town reports each proprietary fund as a major fund, which includes the water fund, and the golf, septage and transfer station enterprise funds. The Town's fiduciary funds are presented in the fiduciary fund financial statements by type (private purpose and agency). Since by definition these assets are being held for the benefit of a third party (other local governments, private parties, etc.) and cannot be used to address activities or obligations of the government, these funds are not incorporated into the government -wide statements. B. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting The government -wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as alt eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been net. 204 TOWN OF YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2006 Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the flow of current financialresources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., measurement and available). Measurable means the amount of the transaction can be determined and available means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for unmatured interest on general long-term debt which is recognized when due, and certain compensated absences, claims and judgments which are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with current expendable available resources. Real estate and property tax revenues are considered available if they are collected within 60 days after fiscal year end. Investment income is susceptible to accrual. Other receipts and tax revenues become measurable and available when the cash is received and are recognized as revenue at that time. Entitlements and shared revenues are recorded at the time of receipt or earlier if the susceptible to accrual criteria is met. Expenditure driven grants recognize revenue when the qualifying expenditures are incurred and all other grant requirements are met. C. Cash and Investments For the purpose of the Statement of Net Assets, "cash and cash equivalents" include all demand, savings accounts, and certificates of deposits of the Town. For the purpose of the proprietary fund Statement of Cash Flows, "cash and cash equivalents" include all demand and savings accounts, and certificates of deposit or short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Investments are carried at fair value except for short-term U.S. Treasury obligations with a remaining maturity at the time of purchase of one year or less. Those investments are reported at amortized cost. Fair value is based on quoted market price. Additional cash and investment disclosures are presented in these Notes. D. Interfund Receivables and Payables During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds that may result in amounts owed between funds. Those related to goods and services type transactions are classified as "due to and from other funds." Short-term interfund loans are reported as "interfund receivables and payables." Long-term interfund loans (noncurrent portion) are reported as "advances from and to other funds." Interfund receivables and payables between funds within governmental, activities are eliminated in the Statement of Net Assets. E. Receivables Receivables consist of all revenues earned at year-end and not yet received, net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts. Allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable are based upon historical trends and the periodic aging of accounts receivable. The Town classifies outstanding personal property taxes and motor vehicle and boat excise three years or more years old as uncollectible for financial reporting purposes. The Town estimates uncollectible accounts by analysis of the most recent trend information. Outstanding real estate taxes are secured by tax liens, and therefore considered to be fully collectable. 205 TOWN OF YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2006 F. Capital Assets The accounting treatment over property, plant, and equipment (capital assets) depends on whether the assets are used in governmental fund operations or proprietary fund operations and whether they are reported in the government -wide or fund financial statements. Government -wide Statements In the government -wide financial statements, capital assets are accounted for as capital assets. All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual is unavailable, except for donated capital assets, which are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of donation. Estimated historical cost was used to value the majority of the assets acquired prior to June 30, 2002. Prior to July 1, 2002, governmental funds' infrastructure assets were not capitalized. These assets (back to July 1, 1980) have been valued at estimated historical cost. Depreciation of all exhaustible capital assets is recorded as an allocated expense in the Statement of Activities, with accumulated depreciation reflected in the Statement of Net Assets. Depreciation is provided over the assets' estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation. The range of estimated useful lives by type of asset is as follows: • Buildings 25-50 years > Improvements 10-50 years • Machinery and Equipment 3-20 years > Utility System 25-50 years • Infrastructure 25-50 years Fund Financial Statements In the fund financial statements, capital assets used in governmental fund operations are accounted for as capital outlay expenditures of the governmental fund upon acquisition. Capital assets used in proprietary fund operations are accounted for the same as in the government -wide statements. G. Lone -term Obligations The accounting treatment of long-term obligations depends on whether the assets are used in governmental fund operations or proprietary fund operations and whether they are reported in the government -wide or fund financial statements. All long-term obligations to be repaid from governmental and business -type resources are reported as liabilities in the government -wide statements. Long-term obligations consist primarily of notes and bonds payable, accrued compensated absences, and post closure monitoring costs for municipal landfills. Long-term obligations for governmental funds are not reported as liabilities in the fund financial statements. Debt proceeds are reported as other financing sources and payment of principle and interest reported as expenditures. The accounting for proprietary funds is the same in the fund statements as it is in the government -wide statements. 206 TOWN OF YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2006 H. Compensated Absences The Town's policies and provisions of bargaining unit contracts regarding vacation and sick time permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick leave. The liability for these compensated absences is recorded as long-term obligations in the government -wide statements. The current portion of this debt is estimated based on historical trends. In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report only the compensated absence liability payable from expendable available financial resources, while the proprietary funds report the liability as it is incurred. I. Equity Classifications Government -wide Statements Equity is classified as net assets and displayed in three components: • Invested in capital assets, net of related debt—Consists of capital assets including restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets. • Restricted net assets—Consists of net assets with constraints placed on the use either by (1) external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (2) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Unrestricted net assets—All other net assets that do not meet the definition of "restricted" or "invested in capital assets, net of related debt." Fund Financial Statements Governmental fund equity is classified as fund balance. Fund balance is further classified as reserved and unreserved, with unreserved further split between designated and undesignated. Permanent fund balances are classified as reserved and are further classified between expendable and non -expendable portions. Proprietary fund equity is classified the same as in the government -wide statements. J. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results will differ from those estimates. K. Total columns The total column presented on the government -wide financial statements represents consolidated financial information. The total column presented on the fund financial statements is presented only to facilitate financial analysis. Data in this column is not the equivalent of consolidated financial information. 207 TOWN OF YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2006 Note 3. Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability A. Property tax calendar and limitations Real and personal property taxes are based on values assessed as of each January 1 and are normally due on the subsequent November 1 and May I. By law, all taxable property in the Commonwealth must be assessed at 100% of fair cash value. Taxes due and unpaid after the respective due dates are subject to lien, interest and penalties. The Town has an ultimate right to foreclose on property for which taxes have not been paid. Property taxes levied are recorded as receivables in the fiscal year of the levy. A statewide property tax limitation statute known as "Proposition 2 'A "liinits the property tax levy to an amount equal to 2 'A % of the value of all taxable property in the Town. A secondary limitation is that no levy in a fiscal year may exceed the preceding year's allowable tax levy by more than 2 '/2 %, plus taxes levied on certain property newly added to the tax rolls ("new growth"). Certain Proposition 2 % taxing limitations can be overridden by a town -wide referendum vote. B. Budgetary basis of accounting The Town must establish its property tax rate each year so that the resulting property tax levy will comply with the limits required by Proposition 2 'Y2 and also constitute that amount which will equal the sum of (a) the aggregate of all annual appropriations for expenditures and transfers, plus (b) provision for the prior fiscal year's deficits, if any, less (c) the aggregate of all non -property tax revenue and transfers projected to be received by the Town, including available surplus funds. The budgets for all departments and operations of the Town, except that of the public schools, are prepared under the direction of the Board of Selectmen. The School Department budget is prepared under the direction of the School Committee. Original and supplemental appropriations are acted upon by vote of Town Meeting. All general fund and enterprise fund functions are budgeted, the town does not have legally adopted annual budgets for its special revenue fiends. Budgets for various special revenue funds utilized to account for specific grant programs are established in accordance with the requirements of the Commonwealth or other grantor agencies. Budgets are prepared on a basis other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The "actual" results column of the Statements of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance — Budgetary Basis, are presented on a "budget basis" to provide a meaningful comparison with the budget. The major differences between the budget and GAAP basis is that all budgeted revenues are recorded when cash is received, except for real estate and personal property taxes, which are recorded as revenues when levied (budget) as opposed to when susceptible to accrual (GAAP). A reconciliation of the budgetary -basis to GAAP -basis results for the General Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, is as follows: As reported on a budgetary basis Adjustment of property tax revenues to modified accrual basis State funded teacher's pension Reclassification of proprietary fund indirect costs MWPAT debt service subsidy As reported on a GAAP basis Revenues Expenditures $ 46,938,898 $ 51,799,276 ( 181,162) 22,888 447,587 111.535 $47.337 . 208 Other Fin. Sources (Uses) $ 3,939,337 22,888 (1,538,889) (1,986,476) 111.535 IA 1E2 1,952.8_61 TOWN OF YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2006 C. Fund equities Operations of' the various Town funds for the fiscal year were funded in accordance with the General Laws of Massachusetts. The Town classifies fund equity in the fund financial statements as either reserved or unreserved fund balance. Unreserved fund balance is further broken down between designated and undesignated. Fund balance reserved for encumbrances and continued appropriations consists of the budgeted amounts carried over to the next fiscal year for operating costs committed at June 30. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are reported as a reservation of fund balance and do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. Fund balance designated for expenditure consists of available funds (free cash) and other available funds from unreserved fund equity appropriated by Town Meeting action to be used in funding next year's operations. Deficit fund equity consists of the excess of expenditures over appropriations, in the General Fund. Bond Anticipation Note proceeds are not permanent funding and therefore do not represent a funding source for capital projects. Capital Project Fund deficits will occur and will be funded in future years through the issuance of long-term debt. At June 30, 2006, the Town had the following general fund equities in the fund financial statements: Reserved for encumbrances and continued appropriations $3,012,427 Unreserved: Undesignated 1,057,618 Designated for expenditure 1,108,157 Reserve for petty cash 1,600 Designated for debt exclusion 29,986 Total unreserved 2.197.361 Total General Fund Equities 55,209,788 All other governmental fund balances are reported on the fund basis Balance Sheet as Unreserved Fund Balance, reported in their respective fund types. D. Restricted Net Assets Certain net assets reported as special revenue funds in the Town's fund basis Balance Sheet including the Town's Stabilization Fund and receipts reserved for appropriation from proceeds of sale of real estate and insurance reimbursements are classified as unrestricted net assets because they are available for appropriation to fund the general operations of the Town. 209 TOWN OF' YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2006 Governmental activities restricted net assets on the govermnent-wide statement of net assets consist of the following: Capital Project Fund Balances $ 6,269,532 Special Revenue Fund Balances: Community Preservation Act Fund 2,539,449 Sale of Land account 137,857 Recycling Committee 201,711 Cemetery fund 447,258 Septage Plant Host fee 429,381 Other special revenue funds 3,330,713 Permanent Funds: Expendable 74,567 Non -expendable 522.667 Total restricted net assets $13.953,135 Note 4. Cash and investments Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 44, Section 54 and 55, place certain limitations on cash deposits and investments available to the Town. Authorized deposits include demand deposits, term deposits, and certificates of deposit in trust companies, national banks, savings banks, and certain other financial institutions. Deposits may not exceed certain levels without collateralization of the excess by the financial institution involved. The Town may also invest in securities issued by or unconditionally guaranteed by the U.S. Government or an agency thereof, and having a maturity from date of purchase of one year or less. The Town may also invest in repurchase agreements guaranteed by such government securities with maturity dates of not more than ninety days from date of purchase. The Town may invest in units of the Massachusetts Municipal Depository Trust (MMDT), an external investment pool managed by the Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Cash deposits are reported at carrying amount, which reasonably approximates fair value. The Town maintains deposits in authorized financial institutions. In the case of deposits, custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the Town's deposits may not be returned. The Town has a formal deposit policy for custodial credit risk. At June 30, 2006 deposits totaled $28,553,557 and had a carrying amount of $30,833,530. Of the deposit amounts, none was exposed to custodial credit risk at June 30, 2006 because it was insured and collateralized. The difference between deposit amounts and carrying amounts generally represents outstanding checks and deposits in transit. Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counter party to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The Town has an investment policy covering custodial credit risk which covers common stock investments with a market value of $105,935 held in the Fiduciary Funds. Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates that will adversely affect the fair market value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the sensitivity of its fair market value to changes in market interest rates. The Town has an investment policy regarding interest rate risk. The approximate maturities of the Town's debt investments are disclosed in the following table: 210 Investment Type MMDT Money Market Fund TOWN OF YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS Notes to Financial Statements lune 30, 2006 Maturity Fair Market 12 months 13 - 24 25 - 60 Value or fess months months Thereafter $ 65,147 $ 65,147 $ - $ $ 135.486 135.486 - $ 200,633 $ 200,633 S__ _ ,$ _ $ Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. Credit risk is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

Retirement Benefits Plan Description The Town of Yarmouth, Massachusetts contributes for eligible employees to the Barnstable County Retirement Association (Association), a cost-sharing multiple -employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the Barnstable County Retirement Association. The Association provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost -of -living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The Association is governed by the applicable provisions of Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Law (M.G.L.) and other applicable statutes. Oversight is provided by a five member board. The Association issues an annual report which is available to the public and may be obtained by contacting the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission (PERAC), One Ashburton Place, Boston, MA 02108. Funding Policy Plan members are required to contribute 5-11% 'of their annual covered salary and the Town is required to contribute at an actuarially determined rate. The Town's current year contribution is $2,162,669, which was equal to its required contribution and representing approximately 5% of the system wide employer assessments. The contribution requirements of plan members and the Town are established and may be amended by M.G.L. The Town's contributions to the Association for the years ending June 30, 2005 and 2004 were $2,041,557 and $1,738,759 respectively, which were equal to the required contributions for each year. B. Compensated Absences Employees earn vacation and sick leave as they provide services. The cost of vacation and sick leave benefits is recorded as an expenditure of the applicable fund when incurred. Vacation and sick pay accumulates for various groups of employees based upon personnel by-laws and their respective collective bargaining agreements. Accumulated unused sick leave is due to certain employees upon termination of employment and has. been recorded as a liability in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets for both governmental and business -type activities. 217 TOWN OF YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2006 C. Other Post Employment Benefits In addition to the pension benefits described above, the Town provides postretirement healthcare benefits to all employees who retire from the Town on or after attaining age 55 with 10 or more years of service. Currently, the Town pays at least 50% of the health and life insurance premiums for approximately 110 retirees and their dependents. The cost of retiree's healthcare benefits is recognized as an expenditure as premiums are paid. For fiscal year 2006, those costs totaled approximately $451,080. Note 11. Landfill Closure and Postclosure Care Costs State and Federal laws and regulations require the Town to place a final cover on its landfill site and to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the site for thirty years thereafter. The landfill has stopped accepting solid waste and pursuant to a Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection consent order, the Town has placed a final cover on its landfill. As of June 30, 2006, $1,150,000 has been reported on the Town's statement of net assets as an estimated remaining liability for post -closure monitoring costs of the landfill Actual costs may change due to the finalizing of regulations with regulatory authorities, changing technology, and inflation. Note 12. Risk Management The Town is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions, injuries to employees and natural disasters. The Town carries commercial insurance for all risk except health insurance. As discussed in Note 1, the Town participates in the Cape Cod Municipal Health Group (the Group), a municipal joint -purchase group consisting of 52 governmental units, formed pursuant to Massachusetts General Law Chapter 32B to provide employee insurance benefits. Employees and the Town both contribute to the Group based upon a 50% (Town) and 50% (Employee) primary care premium formula. The Town budgets, annually, in the general fund for its estimated share of contributions. At June 30, 2006, the Group had net assets of $18,476,289 (unaudited). Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor agencies, principally the federal and state governments. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds. The amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although the Town expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial. Note 14. Intermunicipal agreements Septage treatment plant The Towns of Yarmouth and Dennis entered into an intermunicipal agreement relating to the operations of the Yarmouth -Dennis Septage Treatment Plant in 1988, which is in effect currently.

Annual Report From: Chief Sherman New Station for W. Yarmouth Phase I of construction of a new Fire Station at 520 Buck Island Rd. to replace the small 60 year old station located on Lewis Rd. is well underway after some delays caused by the historical use of the property. Before starting the actual construc- tion process our testing of the site revealed its his- torical use, prior to the 1950's, as a Town Dump. We had to conduct a preliminary process of exca- vation of 10,000 cubic yards of soil and the screen- ing out of over 2 million pounds of debris. The old- est item found and removed from the site was dated 1863. Other items of note were dated 1893, a 1915 license plate, and many school size milk bottles dated in the 1940's. An excavator operator pre- sented the department with a toy fire truck dug out of the soil that appears to be 1940's vintage. As of year end all foundations are poured, all below grade utilities are in, the slab floor is poured, and all inte- rior block partitions are started. Base coat of as- phalt is placed on all driveway and parking areas. We remain on schedule for possible occupancy in September of 2007. We wish to acknowledge the great assistance of the other Town Departments in providing work and expertise in support of this project saving the taxpayers over $50,000 in the process: Engineering, Highway, Water, Building, and Planning. New Equipment on order for Yarmouth Port As authorized by the voters at the annual Town meeting, a new replacement Pumper is on order to be placed in the Yarmouth Port Station when put in service after delivery and training. It will be equipped to carry ouy three major functions in service to the community, a Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS) Pumper, enhanced extrication equipment for vehicle accidents, and fully equipped for Advanced Life Support medical care. The CAFS system will make this truck more effective in firefighting, adding value to the community over its life span and enhancing the safety of our firefighters in doing so. The Pumper currently performing service in Yarmouth Port will be relocated to either S. or W. Yarmouth as a back up and the oldest Pumper in the fleet will be traded in after 21 years of service. The construction site of the new fire station at 520 Buck Island Road. 220 Personnel Changes Three of our Call Firefighters have been pro- moted and hired as full time Firefighters: FF/EMT Johnathan Olson, who just recently became a FF/ Paramedic after completing 18 months of training, studying and testing, FF/EMT Curtis Babb, and FF/EMT Donald Klimm, who was our first DY Stu- dent Intern 10 years ago. He recently graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Fire Science Administration. Annual Town Meeting in April funded and autho- rized the addition of a second Fire Inspector to the department to address the ever increasing workload required in this area, and to enhance our public safety education efforts. FF/EMT James Armstrong, a 20 year veteran has been promoted to the position of Lieutenant/Inspector/EMT to work with Deputy Chief Peter Raiskio and Captain/ Inspector Robert Kelleher in the multiple tasks of Fire Prevention, Inspections, Fire Investigations and Public Education. Four citizens have been trained and added to the Department as Call Firefighters in the fall of 2006: FF/EMT Brendan Arledge, FF Joshua Kelley, FF Shawn Rupani another former DY Intern with YFD, and FF/EMT Jeffrey Whittemore, the grandson of former Chief Dana Whittemore. FF Kelley and Rupani are both currently enrolled in the EMT Course at CCCC. Call Fire Lieutenant Frank Greene has re- signed from the Fire Department after 30 years of service to this community, for which we thank him. Leaving YFD for work in other Fire Departments were FFP Peter Halliday and Enrique Arrascue. Statistics The statistics provided below are generated from multiple sources, the most important of which is the extra effort put in by Captain Alan T. Bowles in extracting them from our Firehouse © software which is used for record keeping of all incidents, inspections, and training of this department. EMS The department responded to 5900 emergency calls in 2006, the busiest Fire/EMS Department in Barnstable County for the second year in a row. There were 1149 fire or hazard related calls and 4751 calls for emergency medical assistance and care. Simultaneous calls for service amounts to 39% of our call volume. Having personnel and equipment 221 in all three stations provides us with the ability to handle no less than three simultaneous calls of vary- ing types with an immediate initial response. Of the emergency medical calls, 3,874 patients were trans- ported to a medical facility by YFD generating am- bulance receipts of $1,546,236.70 placed into the Reserve for Appropriation Account, which supports a portion of the departments' ` operations budget (wages), and 100% of our capital needs. 3874 pa- tients were treated and transported to a medical facility with the breakdown for 3619 of those runs as follows (data available as of 1-1-07): Yarmouth Port residents transported 622 S. Yarmouth residents transported 1265 W. Yarmouth residents transported 989 Non-residents transported 743 Emergency medical calls by type of call transported Medical 2874 Motor vehicle crashes 209 Other trauma 536 There were 818 medical responses that involved at scene care, no patient, assistance, or refusal of assistance or transportation. In Barnstable County, all departments share re- sources thru our Mutual Aid system to help each other during times of multiple simultaneous calls, large incidents or both. We responded to our neigh- bors' calls for assistance 85 times for fires or medi- cal emergencies. In turn they provided assistance to Yarmouth 33 times for fire or emergency medical calls. Fire and Hazardous Situation 86 Fires of all types 186 Hazardous conditions, leaks, spills, CO, electrical incidents 6 Ruptures or explosions 154 Good intent calls, smoke, steam or hazardous release investigation 507 Calls generated by alarm systems, malicious or accidental alarms, bomb scares, sprinkler system activations without fire, carbon monoxide alarms 191 Calls for emergency services: lockouts, utility problems or hazards, unauthorized burning, assist other agencies 1 Severe weather damage 18 Special incidents, investigations Fire losses for 2006 are listed as $593,445 with property saved listed at $47,622,210. The reports of Fire Prevention, Public Safety Education and Training follow my report. It is with the support and cooperation of these and all mem- bers of this department that make us successful in providing these vital public safety services to the citizens of this community. Fire Prevention Report from Deputy Peter Raiskio "To identify and reduce hazards in the Town of Yarmouth through education, inspections, code enforcement, and fire investigation." After requesting additional manpower in Fire Prevention for many years, the Town has now funded the addition of Lt/Inspector Jamie Armstrong to assist me and Capt/Inspector Robert Kelleher, which has greatly increased our capability in meet- ing the demands of all the aspects of Fire Preven- tion. This year we worked jointly with the Hyannis Fire Department in getting the CCH bed tower and materials handling building near completion. We also saw the completion of the fire protection of the DY High School project. We now have a new surge of commercial projects, and major renovations of ex- isting properties. With the help of Capt. Bowles, we have computerized our permitting process, and the electronic filing of information. Finally, we could not accomplish all we do with out the cooperation of all the other town departments, particularly Building, Natural Resources, Police, Health, the Senior Cen- ter, and the volunteers. Education This year we had a joint project by Capt/Inspec- tor Robert Kelleher and the Yarmouth Moose Lodge in providing more than 200 Carbon Monox- ide (CO) detectors to be placed in the homes of our senior citizens that were unable to acquire them. State Law now requires CO detectors on all floors of all residential property that is equipped with gas, oil, or solid fuel appliances. The volunteers of our CERT Team, after being trained by the Department, provided the installation of these detectors. This program in ongoing thanks to the generosity of the Yarmouth Moose Lodge and our CERT members' time and efforts. We have just completed our 10'x' year sponsoring Interns in the DY School to Career Program with an- other 6 students participating. Two graduates have since joined the Fire Department as Call FF's, and one former graduate, after completing a Bachelor's Degree in Fire Science Administration, has been hired as a full time FF/EMT. Another DY Intern graduate is currently enrolled in Paramedic school at CCCC. The education Team continues to provide ex- cellent fire and life safety training to all of our citi- zens and visitors. Much of it through volunteers or single year grant funding. Fire Extinguisher hands on use, child safety seat installation, CPR/AED, se- nior safety programs, High School interns, elemen- tary, middle and high school programs. We also thank Papa Gino's for their continued sponsorship of our annual Fire and Safety Open House held at Station 1. The CPR/AED and Child Safety Seat pro- grams are funded by donations from citizens and groups, which we thank for their ongoing support. Additional funding is always welcome in support of these life safety outreach programs. S.A.F.E. Program Report from FF/P Robert Reardon Elementary students in Yarmouth are well ac- quainted with "Freddy the Talking Fire Truck". Once again the program was presented in the schools, but it was a special time in Freddy's career. In a joint project with C3TV, and the help of a lot of wonderful volunteer. actors some of whom were recruited at a moments notice Freddy made his film debut. In true Freddy fashion, a real "Hollywood "premiere was held and the cast received "Freddy's" to honor their wonderful performances. As promised retired Cap- tain Bob Phillips came out of retirement to fill the role of Freddy. Freddy the movie will be available soon on DVD, proceeds to support our educational programs. Watch for it, you'll want to know what it is that has the kids so excited. We piloted a new fire safety program for the fourth and fifth grade which is more interactive and informative; it seemed to be well received. "The Dangers of Ice" is a program we began several years ago and is now an annual presenta- tion during January to remind the kids how quickly things can go wrong on pond ice. We look forward to increasing ouractivities in 222 the coming year. The educational Team members are: Retired Capt Bob Phillips, FF Ron Napolitan, FF Cory Kittila, FF Adam Riker, FF/P Joe Mullen, FF/P Bob Reardon, FF/P Kieth Selens, FF Pat Sullivan, FF Kevin Enright, FF Johnathan Olsen, and Call FF Nate Coughlin, without the dedication of this group many of our successes would be impossible. Investigation Report from Captain Michael Caruso Several years ago we instituted a Team ap- proach to fire investigation. Lieutenants Simonian, Holmquist, Bearse and I work under the direction of Deputy Chief `Peter Raiskio, and with the Yarmouth Police Detectives, creating a highly ef- fective collaboration. The addition of Lt/Inspector Armstrong to coordinate the day to day investiga- tions, and his training in juvenile fire setters will make the team stronger. Fire losses were low in the past year, but it is worth mentioning that cooking incidents and unat- tended candles continue to be a problem. Investi- gations initiated by this team with YPD in past years resulted in arson convictions during 2006, carried to completion by the State Fire Marshals office and the Federal ATF. Please remember to keep your Smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors in good working order. Inspection and Enforcement Report by Captain/Inspector Robert F. Kelleher Jr. In an effort to update our data bases and pro- vide timely fire and life safety advice to businesses in the community, site visits were increased. Main- tenance of fire protection systems, open access to exit pathways and identifying potential hazards has been stressed. These inspections are always well received and there has been a high incidence of compliance. New legislation provided Fire Depart- ments in the Commonwealth with a non -criminal ticketing system for fire safety violations. The warn- ing and fine components of this system have been most beneficial to us especially in areas where com- LL Kittila practices "Emergency Escape" out a second floor window. 223 Firefighters Practice Ventilating a roof with Chain Saw. pliance was difficult to achieve in the past. This sys- tem has already had a positive impact on fire safety and will serve us well in the future. I would like to thank the Fire Alarm Dispatchers for their extraordinary service, facing an ever increas- ing workload and continuing to support our permit issuing process. We are working with the IT Depart- ment at Town Hall to place some permitting on line in the near future to improve customer service and reduce the dispatch workload.

Todd EMS A New "Med Tech" Ambulance was placed in service at Station 1, replacing a 1998 ambulance. The Yarmouth Firefighters and Relief Associa- tion (YFFRA) has always provided some assistance for training and equipment through fundraising en - 224 deavors. They have assisted the Department in the purchase of a new medical device, "EZ -IO", which is used by the Paramedics to place a Bone Marrow Needle into an adult patient's leg when normal ac- cess routes are inaccessible. The Paramedics can then administer drugs and fluids to a patient in need. We received a generous donation for the YFD AED Training Program from the Dennis Chamber of Commerce as a result of their fundraising efforts of a Golf Tournament. Those funds will be used to enhance CPR/AED Training to the community. Bass River Sports World also donated funds after having a Fundraising Event at their property for the Police and Fire Department Community Pro- grams. Training Training is aimed at the many roles the Fire -Res- cue Service provides. In service training is training done while at work, between other duties involving all personnel. We conduct training in buildings that are scheduled for demolition with the co-operation of property owners, and practice many skills in sup- port of our fire, EMS and rescue responsibilities. 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 manned Evacuation Shelters in Yarmouth on 2 occasions. They have helped at two local road races, Fire Prevention Open House, the Seaside Festival, the Health Departments Flu Clinic, and installing CO detectors in the homes of our se- niors. These volunteers help at many other com- munity events as well. They also attend monthly meetings and training. We are very lucky to have these people as volunteers and a community re- source. Note from Chief Sherman: Our EMS/Train- ing Supervisor Rick Todd has continued to coor- dinate the training and utilization of our CERT vol- unteers in addition to his many other duties and responsibilities for the past 4 years. His extra ef- forts in this and other areas important to the de- partment and citizens is greatly appreciated. Respectfully submitted, Fire Chief C. Randall Sherman 225 Paramedic Reardon and CERT Member Sally Place at a "Dangers of Ice" class. POLICE DEPARTMENT herewith submit the 2006 Annual Report for the activities of the Yarmouth Police Department. I am extremely pleased to report that the men and women of the Yarmouth Police Department, over the past year, have constantly demonstrated a re- markable enthusiasm in performing their daily du- ties to serve our residents, businesses, and guests. The Town of Yarmouth is experiencing the same trend as communities across our nation in experi- encing an increase in crime both violent and other- wise. In part, this trend does directly correspond to the substantial decline in funding for local policing from both the State and the Federal government. Our success in reducing certain levels of crime can be traced to several factors; the typical police officer of today is better educated and better equipped to perform their role in the community than his or her predecessors. In addition, advances in our Patrol Vehicle communication and information technologies have allowed our Yarmouth Patrol Of- ficers to be proactive in their crime reduction strat- egies to reduce crime. We can cite several examples in 2005 of our Yarmouth Patrol Officers, making an arrest of a career criminal, as a result of the infor- mation received through the use of a police vehicle mobile data terminal. In early 2005, the Town utilized grant funding to conduct a study to assess demographic factors and community conditions in Yarmouth, to determine the appropriate size of the patrol force, as well as other units within the Yarmouth Police Department. The Police Executive Research Forum of Washing- ton, DC was hired to conduct the six-month study of our entire agency. This study group has an ex- cellent national reputation and used experienced police professionals from across the country to re- view our practices. As Chief of Police, I was im- pressed with the analysis and we as a Department have collectively endeavored to place the study rec- ommendations into the best practices of policing in Yarmouth. There is a matrix below, which contains a brief overview of the study. I invite our citizens to review the entire study on our Police Department webpage at www.yarmouthpolice.com PERF 2006 Management & Staffing Deployment Study Recommendations & Action Plan Recommendation Timetable Action Plan Cost Status Add 7 officers to the department. 3 existing officers to be promoted to Field Sergeants and bring Patrol Officer staffing to: Midnights 12 Officers Days 13 Officers Evenings 13 Officers.

Recommendation Timetable Action Plan = Cost Status Senior Civilian Management Position to absorb collateral duties. Next several years Write job description, determine pay scale, request approval of Board of Selectmen Estimated base salary without benefits $40 - 50,000 Currently not addressed. In September, a major advance to implement the initial recommendations was made with the vot- ers' support of an override to add five additional Patrol Officers and promote three existing Patrol Officers, to the rank of Patrol Sergeant. The Depart- ment added to the number of Patrol Sergeants for the first time, since the 1970's. In October, we pro- moted Sgt. Thomas Hennessey, Sgt. John Fallon and Sgt. Pat Carty to these essential newly added supervisory positions. This increase in staff and su- pervision will definitely enhance our daily ability to respond to our ever increasing calls for service (33,167 a 12% increase over the year 2005). We will also accomplish an increase in the visibility of po- lice officers on our streets and within our neighbor- hoods of our community. We are also fortunate to increase the number of women Patrol Officers through this staff increase. As part of the growth of the Department, we increase from having one woman patrol office, to now having five. This is both a positive and significant change in our policing environment. In 2006, we unfortunately experienced a sharp increase in traffic related deaths on our roadways. Our Traffic Crash Reconstruction Specialists inves- tigated the nine deaths, two of which were motor- cycle operators. Members of the Cape Cod Regional Law Enforcement Crash Reconstruction Team sup- ported these Specialists in their efforts. We have received tremendous cooperation throughout the year, from our regional collaborative efforts of our local Cape Cod Police agencies, acting as the Cape Cod Law Enforcement Council. This concerted ef- fort improves both the training and the cost effec- tive delivery of Local Police Services Cape wide. The Yarmouth Police K-9 Unit was represented at the United States Police Canine Association (Re- gion 4) Field Trials in Merrimack, N.H in June. Ofc. Peter McClelland and K-9 Kobi of the open class and Ofc. Marc Thibeault and K-9 Clark of the nov- ice class. K-9 Units from all over New England at- tended and units from New Jersey and New York, including the NYPD K-9 Unit were also represented at the trials. Ofc. Peter McClelland and K-9 Kobi, received 1st place honors, in overall search and also received the award for 3rd place overall in the open class. Ofc. Marc Thibeault and K-9 Clark, received 1st place honors in agility, 2nd place honors in crimi- nal apprehension and received the award for 2nd place overall, in the novice class. The Yarmouth Police K-9 Unit, received the 2nd place overall team award, less than 1/2 a point be- hind the first place team award achieved by the NYPD. Both K-9 Kobi and K-9 Clark received a National Police Dog certification and both K -9's qualified for the National Police Dog trials. In closing, we were extremely pleased to receive from the Executive Office of Public Safety, $54,000 in Community Policing monies, $17,000 in grant monies to support a multi -jurisdiction collaboration in combating illicit drugs. The Governor's Highway Safety Bureau, awarded our agency $10,000 to sup- port our traffic enforcement and specialized enforce- ment patrols. I would like to thank our residents and business owners for their constant support of our community policing efforts. We would be remiss if we did not thank our 25 Volunteers in Policing who donate thousands of hours of their valuable time throughout the year. We also wish retiring Patrol Officer Hiram Collado the best of health and happiness in his well-deserved retirement. This officer, who served our community for 30 years, was recognized throughout the Com- monwealth as a leader in protecting our citizens through the use of the Sex Offender Registry. 228 Respectfully submitted, Chief Peter L.

Brandolini, C. B. O. Building Commissioner BOARD OF HEALTH The year 2006 again witnessed the continua- tion of many Board of Health programs designed for protection of the environment and public health. KI (Potassium Iodide) pills were received from the State Department of Public Health for distribu- tion by the Health Division to Yarmouth citizens in the event of a nuclear accident at the Pilgrim Nuclear Facility. The division is also working with the schools, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, motels, and camps to facilitate distribution at those facilities. The Board of Health reviewed several health regulations: stable; poultry; horse drawn carriages; swine. A public hearing was held on proposed stable regulations. The Board met with horse property owners and Dr. Marina Cesar of Massachusetts Veterinary Medical Association. This proposed regu- lation would require a person to have one (1) acre of property to be considered for a stable. A second public hearing will be held over the winter. Ongoing programs include inspections con- ducted by the Health Division Office staff of restau- rants, retail food stores, motels, cabins, camps, public and semipublic swimming pools and whirl- pools, rental housing units, along with responding to various complaints received by the department involving trash, overflowing sewage, rodents, and housing complaints of overcrowding, noise, no heat or no water, etc. The division office also performed soil analyses to determine suitability of building lots. The Health Division Office staff reviewed all Build- ing Division permit applications to ensure adequacy of the septic system as required by State law, prior to the issuance of any building permit. The staff also attended weekly Commercial Site Plan Review meetings to ensure that all new construction and renovations met with all health codes, i.e., septic systems, groundwater protection, etc. The Health Division Office continued to oversee four grants during 2006. The first grant was from the State Department of Public Health for tobacco con- trol, to offer education and cessation programs, con- trol. smoking in public places indoors, and conduct compliance inspections. The second grant was for assistance to moderate income families for pumping their septic systems. The third grant was for assistance to moderate income families for removal of under- ground fuel storage tanks. The fourth grant was for the assistance to families for the repair of septic systems. 231 RABIES CONTROL PROGRAM Amy Von Hone, Assistant Health Director, coor- dinated the Rabies Control Program. Yarmouth's first rabid raccoon was discovered in September, 2004 and the disease has been dis- covered in all of our neighborhood communities since that original case. Rabies is a disease caused by a virus which attacks the central nervous system and the brain. This disease can infect all warm-blooded animals including humans. There are numerous strains of rabies that are species specific that exist through- out the world and this country. For example, there is a skunk strain and a fox strain of rabies that ex- ists in the mid -western United States. Bat rabies has been endemic in this state for many years. Al- though certain animals are more sensitive to a par- ticular strain of rabies, the disease can be transmit- ted between species which includes pet cats and dogs, and even to humans. Because the virus con- centrates in the saliva of the infected animal, the 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. Cape Cod has been the center of a massive rabies vaccine baiting program sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine, and more recently, the United States Department of Agriculture, Wildlife Services. The original goal of the program was to prevent rabies from crossing the Cape Cod Canal, and from infecting our wildlife population, by placing baits containing a single dose of oral rabies vaccine along the Cape Cod Canal to create a "vaccine barrier." This "vaccine barrier" had proven successful for ten years. However, in the winter of 2002, the barrier was broken on the main- land side of Bourne when a skunk tested positive for rabies. The first case of rabies east of the Canal was discovered in 2003, also in Bourne. In response to the barrier break, the location of the baiting program has shifted as more rabies cases have been discovered across the Cape. Various agencies, including Tufts University, the United States Department of Agriculture, Elder Services, Americorps, the Barnstable County Department of Health and the Environment, the United States Coast Guard, and town personnel and volunteers, were responsible for the distribution of the vaccine. Yarmouth, over the course of this year, has con- ducted two massive baitings (May and October) blanketing the entire town with the help of Health Division personnel including Board of Health mem- bers, Natural Resources Division personnel, and the various agencies listed above. At the request of Tufts University and U.S.D.A., the Yarmouth Division of Natural Resources, again volunteered to be the pri- mary storage and distribution point for the baiting events on Cape Cod. The majority of baits were distributed by hand along every town roadway, and those areas impossible to reach by foot or vehicle were serviced by a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter. Despite the baiting efforts over the last two years, rabies remains endemic in our wildlife popu- lation. However, we have witnessed the devasta- tion of the disease within the wildlife populations most vulnerable to rabies — raccoons and skunks. The reduction in these wildlife populations is evi- dent in the lower number of animals tested this year as listed below. Because of the serious nature of this disease, all town departments involved con- tinue to make the extra effort to respond to inquir- ies as quickly as possible to prevent any further exposures to both humans and pets. Often times, because of pet exposures and required quarantines, these cases will remain open for months. This has resulted in a strain on our department resources, as we try to maintain our daily services. A tally of the animals tested in Yarmouth is listed below: 2006 Tallies: Animals Total: 26 Cats 0 Dogs 1 Fox 3 Raccoons 8 (2 tested positive for rabies: 25% of raccoons tested) Skunks 3 Squirrels 1 Opossum 1 Woodchuck 1 Bats 5 Muskrat 1 Coyote 1 Sea lion 2 The Health Division continues to work very closely with the Division of Natural Resources and Animal Control in coordinating the capture and test- ing of all suspect animals as outlined in the Town Policy developed by the Health Division in response to the rabies epidemic. The Health Division currently coordinates testing of all suspect animals which is performed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, in addition to relaying pertinent infor- mation and data to all affected parties of the rabies incident. Recognition must also be given to the High- way Division for their continued efforts to quickly respond to reported road kill, as this is another av- enue for potential exposures. The Health Division continues to be available for town personnel train- ing, and has numerous informational pamphlets and brochures available to the public. Our award-win- ning educational "Rabies Awareness" program, cre- ated by Natural Resources Director Karl von Hone and Amy von Hone, continues to be available to school children, civic groups, and town personnel upon request. Additionally, staff from both the Health Division and the Natural Resources Division have been very active in the Cape Cod Rabies Task Force, which has been instrumental in the distribution and sharing of information among other Cape towns, and State and Federal agencies. Our Town Policy has been requested by other towns as a model for their own policies, in addition to our departments providing guidance to other towns for the purposes of personnel training and response. The Health Division is grateful to the various town departments who have provided the neces- sary services to protect the public at large against this dangerous disease. But, most importantly, the Health Division is especially grateful to the Division of Natural Resources and Animal Control who have been a key component of the town's rabies response team. Their timeliness, knowledge and profession- alism have made a potentially dangerous environ- ment much safer for our Town's citizens and pets. Additionally, we wish to express our appreciation to Animal Inspector James Fredericks for his pro- fessionalism with animal quarantines and barn in- spections, 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 re- quired by law, to prevent the spread of rabies. Be- cause household pets, especially cats, are the com- 232 mon link between infected wildlife and humans, pets must be properly restrained and identified. Humans should avoid contact with all stray animals and wild- life and should notify the Health Division Office or Division of Natural Resources immediately in the event of a potential rabid exposure (human or pet) or the sighting of a strangely acting animal. PREVENTIVE HEALTH PROGRAMS In conjunction with the Barnstable County De- partment of Health and Environment, additional ongoing Board of Health preventive health programs included monitoring the thirteen Human Service agencies, with a total budget of $90,505.00, that provide various community health services to the townspeople. Those Human Services are as follows: Capeabilities (formally Nauset, Inc.) Salvation Army Independence House Sight Loss Services, Inc. Consumer Assistance Council Cape Cod Human Services, Inc. AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Cape Cod Visiting Nurse Association of Cape Cod, Inc. Legal Services for Cape, Plymouth & Islands, Inc. Cape Cod Child Development (Head Start Program) Cape Cod Council on Alcoholism & Drug Dependency, Inc. Hands of Hope Outreach Center (Cape Cod Council of Churches) All of the Human Services provided a greater share of services than monies appropriated. The dif- ference in appropriation was made up by free care through agency fund raising or through State or Federal grants. All agencies are requesting an in- crease in appropriations to maintain the services provided to Yarmouth residents. The following is a brief description of each of the thirteen Human Ser- vice agencies: 1. Legal Services for Cape, Plymouth & Islands, Inc. This agency administers the Elder Law Project, which provides free civil legal representation to Yarmouth residents over the age of sixty, in the ar- eas of landlord -tenant relations, elderly housing, utilities, nursing home quality of care, health care, government benefits, disability, and some wills. The agency also provides civil legal representation to low income individuals and families. 2. Capeabilities (formally Nauset, Inc.) This agency provides vocational rehabilitation to handicapped citizens. Vocational services have as a goal, after assessment and skill training, place- ment in a setting which optimizes an individual's level of functioning. 3. Cape Cod Child Development (Head Start Program) The Head Start Program was launched in 1965 as part of the War on Poverty by President Johnson. It emphasizes parental involvement and compre- hensive services to preschool children (ages 3-5) and their families. The services include health and dental screenings, immunizations, early detection of physical and mental disabilities, motivational de- velopment, nutrition and general preparation of chil- dren for entry into public education. Studies have shown that the children having experienced Head Start show lasting gains in school performance. The Cape Cod Child Development Program, in addition to the federally funded Head Start Program, furnishes day care services to working parents. These children and their families are served in a variety of day care models including Family Day Care, Preschool Day Care and After School Day Care. The Early Childhood Intervention Program pro- vides services to children from birth to three (3) years of age who are physically handicapped, mentally retarded, brain damaged or seem delayed in their development. Services are also furnished to the families of children in weekly home visits. 4. Consumer Assistance Council The Cape Cod Consumer Assistance Council was established in 1972 as a private, non-profit agency dedicated to resolving disputes between merchants and trades people, along with respond- ing to requests for information by consumers and business persons. There are twenty volunteers who donate their services to the agency, in handling phone calls and complaints. 5. Cape Cod Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependency, Inc. The Agency and objectives are to provide infor- mation, evaluation, motivational counseling and coordination of services for problem drinkers and substance abusers and families, with emphasis on services to the indigent and those who lack proper insurance for these services. The Council maintains a twenty-four hour answering service. The Council 233 is involved in preventative alcohol and substance abuse education in the community and schools. 6. Sight Loss Services, Inc. Sight Loss Services is the only Cape agency providing support and information services to the newly blind, the visually impaired, and people with progressive eye disease. 7. Independence House Independence House, established in 1979, is the Cape's only resource center for battered women, their children, and rape and sexual assault survi- vors. A program of services is provided to women who have been threatened with or have experienced physical, emotional or sexual abuse. 8. Visiting Nurse Association of Cape Cod, Inc. The V.N.A. provides health oriented instructional care and services to individuals and to entire fami- lies in the home or other appropriate locations. The agency has been serving Yarmouth residents for over 75 years. Comprised of nurses, home health aides, thera- pists and social workers, the skilled V.N.A. staff works closely with the Health Division Office to pro- vide the highest quality and most advanced home care available today. On-going programs under the Board of Health include: health counseling/screening sessions, such as diabetic, hearing and cholesterol; flu clinics; maternaVchild care visits and adult home health assessments; also monthly immunizations for pre- school children are held at the V.N.A. office. Health promotional programs included information and encouragement to first time mothers. The services provided by the V.N.A. are as follows: Office Visits Special Programs Medical Social Work Office Immunizations Visits for MaternaVChild Health Children for Preschool Immunization Hours for Health Counseling/Screening Hours for Seaside Festival Health Fair Hours for Flu Clinic and Pre -filled Syringes Investigation of Communicable Diseases The bimonthly blood pressure and diabetic screening clinics at town hall were attended by 331 people. 9.

The center operates with donations from member churches, the com- munity, income from the thrift and furniture shops, along with some town and federal grants. 12. Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Cape Cod The agency's purpose is to help children cope with the special problems they face growing up in single parent homes. The goal is to match children to dedicated and caring adults who will be good role models and provide the adult friendship and guidance. The agency also provides all children in the program, matched and unmatched, with activi- ties that will enrich their lives during their formative years and teach them how to get along with one another. 13. Salvation Army The agency provides rent/mortgage assistance, heating assistance, monthly food pantry visits, send- ing toys to children at Christmas, and providing 234 holiday meal baskets at Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. HEALTH FAIRS AND CLINICS The Board of Health offers monthly health pre- ventive programs, such as Preschool Immuniza- tions, Diabetic Screenings, Nutritional and Adult Health Counseling Clinics, along with Blood Pres- sure and Hearing Tests on a bimonthly basis at Town Hall. Additional or expanded services are continu- ally under review by the Board. Again planned for the upcoming year are the annual Flu Clinics (ap- proximately 1,500 people), multiple educational pro- grams, Skin Saver, Breast Mammography, Choles- terol Screening and Glaucoma Clinics. The Health Division Office staff, in conjunction with Health and Safety Training Associates, held Heimlich Anti -Choking Clinics for food service per- sonnel. In conjunction with the Yarmouth Restau- rant Association, the Health Division Office staff of- fered a ServSafe course for food service establish- ments. The Health Division Office also held a series of pool safety certification courses for motel person- nel, which included C.P.R. and Standard First Aid. BATHING BEACHES WATER QUALITY The Massachusetts Department of Public Health adopted a new regulation which became effective in April of 2001 requiring bathing beaches to be tested weekly. The Department of Public Health's intent is to protect the health,, safety and wellbeing of the users of bathing beaches. The Yarmouth Health Division, in conjunction with the Barnstable County Health Department con- ducted multiple testing at 16 salt water and 10 fresh water bathing beaches on a weekly basis from Memorial Day through Labor Day. A total of 402 samples were collected. Over the course of the summer, four beaches were posted closed due to elevated bacteria levels caused by runoff from heavy rains. All beaches were reopened within 24 hours after successful retests. WEST NILE VIRUS ENCEPHALITIS PROGRAM Carl Lawson, Hazardous Waste Inspector, co- ordinated this program for the 2006 season. West Nile Virus (WNV) encephalitis is a rare dis- ease caused by a virus. In a small percentage of people, the disease can become serious, even fa- 235 tal. The virus that causes WNV encephalitis, which had not been identified in the United States before the summer of 1999, occurs naturally in Europe, Africa, and Asia. It is not known where the U.S. vi- rus came from. The virus grows in birds, and it is transmitted from bird to bird and from bird to hu- mans by mosquitoes. Horses bitten by mosquitoes carrying WNV can also become sick. Mild WNV infections cause fever, headache and body aches, often with a skin rash and swollen lymph glands. More severe infections can cause headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disori- entation, coma, tremors, convulsions, paralysis and, sometimes, death. There is no treatment for WNV infection. About 7% of people who are infected with the virus die from it. However, doctors can treat the symptoms of WNV encephalitis. WNV is spread only by mosquitoes that are in- fected with WNV. People and horses that have WNV infection cannot spread the disease. There is no evidence that a person can get WNV from handling live or dead infected birds. Still, you should avoid bare-handed contact when handling dead animals, including birds. If you must handle dead birds, use gloves or double plastic bags. The risk of getting WNV encephalitis is highest from late July through September. The virus is spread by adult mosqui- toes, which are killed by frost in the fall. There is no WNV vaccine for people or horses. The only way to protect yourself is to keep mosqui- toes from biting you. Follow these steps every sum- mer if you live in or visit an area with mosquitoes: • Avoid outdoor activities after dark (between dusk and dawn), if possible, as this is the time of greatest mosquito activity. • If you must be outdoors when mosquitoes are active, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Use mosquito repellent that contains DEET (the chemical N-N-diethyl-meta- toluamide) and follow the directions on the label. DEET can be toxic if overused. Never use DEET on infants. Avoid using repellents with DEET concentrations above 15% for children and with concentrations above 35% for adults. Cream, lotion or stick formulas are best. Avoid products with high amounts of alcohol. • Take special care to cover up the arms and legs of children playing outdoors. When you bring a baby outdoors, cover the baby's car- riage 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. Mos- quitoes will breed in any puddle or standing water that lasts for more than four days. Here are some simple steps you can take: • Dispose of metal cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots and other water holding con- tainers 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 contain- ers that are left out doors, so that water can drain out. • Clean clogged roof gutters. • Turn over plastic wading pools and wheel- barrows when not in use, and do not allow water to stagnate in birdbaths. • Aerate ornamental pools or stock them with fish. Keep swimming pools clean and prop- erly chlorinated. • Use landscaping to eliminate standing water that collects on your property. The Health Division worked closely with Cape Cod Mosquito Control. Potential wet areas were identified and treated. The Health Division received 19 calls on dead birds meeting the criteria for test- ing. Eight (8) birds were tested, with five (5) results coming back negative and three (3) results return- ing positive. The Health Division expects the collection and testing of birds to continue, and will be working closely with the State Department of Public Health and with Cape Cod Mosquito Control. TOBACCO CONTROL PROGRAM In 1994, Yarmouth became one of seventeen Cape towns participating in the Regional Tobacco Control State Department of Public Health Grant, which is ad- ministered by the County Health Department. This grant is funded by the State through the cigarette tax. After several public meetings and joint meet- ings with the Barnstable Board of Health, the Yarmouth Board of Health adopted a regulation pro- hibiting smoking within restaurants, lounges and bars, effective April 3, 2000. The towns of Bamstable and Dennis also enacted similar regulations. The Massachusetts Smoke -Free Workplace Law went into effect on July 5, 2004. As a result, all fifteen Cape towns prohibit smoking in public places. Sev- eral compliance checks were performed in the past with no violations observed. The Health Division continues to work with the Cape Cod Regional To- bacco Control Program in offering education and smoking cessation programs. The Board had previously approved regulations that prohibit smoking in indoor public places, such as retail stores, office buildings; ban cigarette vend- ing machines to prevent under age access; and re- quire a license to sell tobacco products. In 2006 there were 39 licenses issued to establishments to sell tobacco products. The division worked with Cape Cod Tobacco Control in conducting 100 com- pliance checks in 2006. Two (2) establishments were issued warnings; one (1) establishment was issued a fine. Yarmouth tobacco retailers achieved 98% 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 three week wait for review of engineered septic plans. Many of these were for the installation of septic sys- tems for Real Estate sales, new construction, con- struction/renovation, and septic repairs. To meet this need the division engaged the County Health De- partment to assist in witnessing deep and perc test- ing. The Board has delegated authority to Health Division staff to approve septic repair variances "in house" after review of engineered plans for maxi- mum feasible compliance, to expedite the permit- ting process. The staff reviewed and approved 132 septic variances under this criterion. The new Title 5 Regulations also require the division office to re- view and comment on septic system evaluation re- ports on every Real Estate sales transaction. There were 703 Septic Inspection Reports submitted to the office for review between January and Decem- ber 2006. 236 Subsurface Sewage Disposal Systems - Breakdown of Information: Building Foundation Height Variances/Review.... 0 Variances -Maximum Feasible Compliance 132, Private Sewage Treatment Plant Reports 60 Final Sewage Installation Inspections 676 Engineered Sewage Plans Reviewed 973 Deep Hole/Percolation Tests 760 Repair Permits Issued 429 New Permits Issued 49 Field Visits 134 Starting in the year 2000, the State Title 5 sep- tic regulations affected people living within the town's Zone II drinking watershed areas. New con- struction and additions/renovations increasing sep- tic system flows are now required to size the septic system at 110 gallons per bedroom per 10,000 square feet of land. This section of Title 5 is for the protection of the drinking water. With this new sec- tion of the regulation in effect, the Board of Health rescinded their 1986 Nitrate Loading Regulation, which placed a restriction on the number of bed- rooms and lawn area. The Board of Health continues to monitor the first approvals in the State, from the Department of Environmental Protection, to allow an alternative septic technology installation. A Bioclere Self -Con- tained Waste Water Treatment Plant that provides ad- ditional treatment was installed at a residential location on Mercury Drive and at the Super Stop & Shop.

Bioclere Singulair Jet SeptiTech Waterloo Biofilter Incinolet 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, consulta- tions, written and audio-visual materials, along with sewage system location cards and pumping histo- ries that are provided by the Health Division staff to assist homeowners in locating their septic system for routine maintenance pumping. As required by State law, the Health Division Office reviews all Build- ing Permits to determine the adequacy of the sep- tic system for all projects involving building alter- ations and/or renovations, and requires upgrading of all cesspools to a newseptic system, which is helping to ensure protection of the town's ground- water quality. As a condition of receiving Federal and State assistance for the construction of the septage treat- ment facility, the Board of Health was required to adopt a septic system inspection and maintenance regulation, to protect the public health and our vital sole -source water supply. The services of Aquarion Services. Company were obtained to work under the Director of Health to implement the Inspection and Maintenance Pro- gram for the towns of Yarmouth and Dennis. In order to ensure that a septic system contin- ues proper operation, it is necessary from time to time to remove the accumulated solids and sludge from the bottom of the septic tank or cesspool. It is particularly important to keep the solids from being carried over into and clogging the leaching system. The rate of accumulation of solids is primarily re- lated to the intensity of use (i.e., how many people are using the septic system; is the septic system used all year or only seasonally; is a garbage grinder used - not recommended), so the time interval be- tween pumpings will vary for each home. There- fore, the regulation requires that all systems be pumped every four years or have a FREE inspec- tion by town agents to determine if a septic pumpout is needed. HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES GRANT PROGRAM The Yarmouth Board of Health was required to adopt regulations requiring the pumping of septic tanks once every four years with certain waiver pro- visions. This requirement was a result of an E.RAJ Massachusetts Department of Environmental Pro- tection grant of monies to the town for construction of the Septage Treatment Plant. This grant encour- ages assistance to low and moderate income resi- dents in complying with the regulation. 237 The statistics for grant awards are as follows: Low Income 2 Very Low Income 19 30% of Median 17 Denied 0 Septic Installation/Repair 11 Oil Tank Removal 0 Septic Pumping 9 Septic Pumping Reimbursement Activity .. 884 PRIVATE TREATMENT PLANTS The Board of Health and the Health Division, in conjunction with the Board's consultant, Wright - Pierce Engineers, continued to monitor and review engineered plans, and monthly operational and maintenance reports, along with the Department of Environmental Protection (D.E.R), for private sew- age treatment facilities. Several meetings were held for review of the treatment plant's groundwater dis- charge permits along with hydrological and envi- ronmental reports. There are presently operating within the town the following private treatment plants: 1. Buck Island Condominium 94 Living Units: 50,000 GPD on 32 acres, 1978 2. Cove Motel Route 28 - 229 Time Sharing Units, 194 Seat Restaurant, and Health Facility: 39,900 GPD on 23.6 acres, 1986 3.

The licensed hazard- ous waste firm of Jones Environmental Services collected 38 drums containing paints, thinners, pes- ticides, and miscellaneous chemicals that were re- moved off -Cape to a licensed hazardous waste fa- cility. Yarmouth also offers five (5) joint collection days at the Barnstable Landfill. Carl is also responsible for monitoring those sites listed as Confirmed Hazardous Waste Sites by the Department of Environmental Protection (D.E.R). Carl's duties also include monitoring the clean-up actions of these sites. In the past these clean-up actions included the use of soil vapor extraction systems, which involved the use of air stripping tow- ers. Other clean-up methods involved the removal of contaminated soils and the installation of ground water monitoring wells. Carl coordinates public health emergency plan- ning as required by the State Department of Public Health. This planning includes emergency dispens- ing sites, KI distribution, attending State and regional meetings, and working with representatives from Police, Fire, the County, the Department of Public Health, the Medical Reserve Core, and the School Department. HOUSING PROGRAM This program is administered by Brian Heaslip. Housing rental units are monitored and inspected according to the 1976 Town Rental Bylaw. All rental properties are required to be registered annually with the Health Division. Brian works closely with the Yarmouth Police Department in enforcing the town's Anti -Noise Bylaw and the Occupancy Overcrowd- ing Bylaw. Brian also enforces the Massachusetts Department of Public Health housing regulations. Brian is a member of the town's Code Enforcement Impact Team formed in 1998. The Team consists of representatives from the Health, Police, Fire and Building Departments.

Gordon, M.D., Chairman Helen Shah, R.N., Vice Chairman Robert Brown, PhD, Clerk Patrick McDermott Ann Greenbaum, R.N. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS (DPW) George R. Allaire, DPW Director The proposed Keyspan pipeline project along Whites Path, North Main to Great Western to Highbank was of great interest throughout the year. The Towns of Yarmouth and Dennis were unsuc- cessful in their arguments before the Department of Telecommunications and Energy (DTE), Siting Board to force Keyspan to place the new pipeline along the Rail Road Right of Way. (RR ROW). The DTE granted Keyspan its original proposed project route along our roadways, which would compro- mise the pavement integrity and disrupt traffic for an extended period of time. Keyspan met with the Board of Selectmen to discuss their project and proposed route. The Board was unsuccessful in convincing the company to use the RR ROW and so Keyspan went on to the Cape Cod Commission for their approval. I suspect Keyspan was in shock when the Commission re- jected their project and suggested they should con- sider the use of the RR ROW. Keyspan has since returned to the DTE, which has the authority to overrule the Cape Cod Com- mission. There is a potential for the Cape Cod Com- mission to initiate a lawsuit, should the DTE re -ap- prove the route along our roadways. Such a DTE ruling won't happen until next year so stay tuned. The DPW worked on several projects, which depend on the Massachusetts Highway Department (MHD), since they hold the purse strings. All of the projects are on the County Transportation Improve- ment Plan (TIP) and are typically bid, constructed and paid for by the MHD. The projects are referred to in house as Packet Landing, Route 28 Storm Drainage Improvements, Willow Street at Exit 7 and Higgins Crowell Road. Packet Landing Project is of some vintage with funding having originated in a Congressional Ear- mark back in 1996. It is a gateway project at the Bass River Bridge, where we hope to create a land- scape park. The DPW demolished and removed the three buildings on the site and VHB, Inc. was hired to develop the plans in accordance with the Town's desires and MHD bidding requirements. A 25% submission was made to MHD and they held a Pub- lic Hearing on the proposed design. The development of this lot has been slowed by the historic nature of one of the buildings on the site. After the Town acquired the site from the prop- erty owner following appraisals and tedious nego- tiations, the Town was able to inspect the buildings interior of the so called "Cellar House". Once inside the structure one could see there was no historic fabric left in the building. This led to a subsequent inspection by the Cape Cod Commission, which in turn recommended to the Massachusetts Histori- cal Commission that the Cellar. House be removed from the List of Historical Structures. This de -listing allowed for the demolition and removal of the re- maining two structures on the site, which opened up views of the river. A 75% design submission for Packet Landing will be made in December of '06 and construction could take place Summer/Fall of '07. The Willow Street Improvements Project stalled waiting for the utility companies to get wires and poles relocated. Fiber optic cables of Verizon lagged behind and were finally removed in late October. The contractor then made a concerted push to move the project along until the weather closed in. This project is scheduled to be complete in the fall of '07. Higgins Crowell Road improvements has been on the TIP for sometime but delayed awaiting the issuance of permits for the offshore wind genera- tion proposal. After seeing how long it has taken we decided to move forward with the project and made a 25% submission to the MHD. This project includes a multi use path from Mid Tech Drive into the Sandy Pond Recreation Area located on Buck Island Road and a 5' wide sidewalk continuing on to Route 28. A 25% design public hearing will be held when MHD schedules one. With the help of Congressman Delahunt and Senator Kennedy money was earmarked for the ex- tension of the Cape Cod Rail Trail through Dennis and Yarmouth into Barnstable. This major recre- ational project will allow for much safer access to the towns three major recreation areas (Flax Pond, Old Town House Road Park and Sandy Pond) via the Rail Trail with limited roadway crossings. The path on Higgins Crowell Road will be a link to Sandy Pond. The trail will pass through Old Town House Road Park and a connecting path into Flax Pond will be undertaken in the next few years. This project 243 is also under the jurisdiction of the MHD. The Route 28 Storm Drainage Project has been long in development, beginning back in 1996 as well. The Route 28 storm drainage system discharges via a Targe pipe into Bass River with high coliform counts and is the highest priority to address of all the river outfalls. The design calls for the installation of leaching systems at two locations, which are in- tended to intercept the first flush of the system, which contains most of the pollutants. These leach- ing systems will be installed at the parking area at the corner of Mill Lane and Route 28 while the other will be under the park area at Packet Landing. The parking area at Mill Lane will be improved and bet- ter delineated as part of the project. Sidewalks were a focus of the DPW this year with the one mile extension of a multi use path on Forest Road from Old Town House Road to Winslow Gray Road. All preparation work and drainage im- provements were done by Highway Division Per- sonnel with paving done by a contractor. Final grad- ing and spreading of loam was done with in house personnel with hydro seeding done by a contrac- tor. This was an ambitious project initiated to see how effectively Highway could undertake a large project, which placed serious time commitment on the Division, while still trying to tackle all the day to day requests from our citizens. We think the project was a complete success. The Highway Division also tackled the rehabili- tation of the sidewalks along Route 6A. Even though this is a State Highway, the Town is responsible for the maintenance of the side walk areas. Again the Highway Division did all the preparation cutting back hedges, patching bad pavement areas, removing protruding tree roots etc., prior to a contractor plac- ing new asphalt along the entire length of the road- way. The citizens really appreciated the work and were nice enough to say so. We also started discussions with citizens on the new proposed sidewalk along South Street, which will extend to Bass River Beach. A public hearing was held and most felt the project was worthwhile. Several questions arose about plantings and fences, which may need to be relocated. This project will also be undertaken by the Highway Division under Assistant DPW Director, James Leiter, so we have great confidences the citizens mostly affected will be pleased with the process and the final product. Work should begin in the Spring of '07. With the discussions by the Community Devel- opment and Planning Department of Village Cen- ters, we went through a process and selected VHB, Inc. as our consultant to work with property own- ers, stakeholders and the MHD to guide us through a public process to determine how Route 28 should look in the Village Centers as well as the stretches of roadway between the centers. The new work in the vicinity of Shaw's Supermarket on Route 28 is a potential example of a Village Center, however a real village center would be more dense in devel- opment with two story structures. The two or more stories would support business at street level and residences above. Such density will require waste- water infrastructure (sewers) to accommodate this type of development. So in order to prepare for the disruption of Route 28 while we put in wastewater disposal piping, we might as well try to reach agree- ment with property owners and MHD on how Route 28 should look once we repair the roadway after the sewer pipe installation. We are looking forward to this endeavor early in '07. In addition to those large significant projects the DPW worked on a number of smaller but still im- portant projects. We installed a new generator at Town Hall to keep our computer network opera- tional during power outages. We worked on heat- ing, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) projects at the Senior Center, Police Station and Highway Garage, which helped improve air quality, reduce energy consumption and improved creature com- fort for occupants. We began work on bridge reha- bilitation planning in concert with the Town of Barnstable and Dennis. The Highbank Road Bridge (shared with Dennis) and the Keveney Lane Bridge (shared with Barnstable) are in the design and per- mitting phase with maintenance and improvements to take place late in '07 or early '08. We continued working on the Comprehensive Wastewater Plan- ning with the Integrated Water Resources Planning Committee and you can review our progress, which have executive summaries on the Town Web Site or in more detail in any of Yarmouth Libraries. We worked with the property owners on Neptune Lane to solve a severe drainage problem whereby the owners shared in the costs of the solution. We be- gan planning drainage improvements on Hunting- ton Avenue and received Town Meeting approval to affect some land transactions to allow for a simple but effective solution to the drainage problem. We 244 worked as a member of the Hyannis Access Study Task Force working with the State Executive Office of Transportation taking a comprehensive look at solutions to traffic congestion in Hyannis and vicin- ity. All in all this was a very busy year in which all the DPW Employees did a great job. Mona Solmonte, my able assistant did a great job and wish to thank her publicly. Bob Carlson and Dick Court with the help of many others in the Highway, Buildings and Grounds Division did a great job with the generator installation at Town Hall. And the High- way Division went above and beyond the call in their sidewalk projects. Congratulations to All! Engineering Division Richard P. deMello, Town Engineer During 2006, the Engineering Division com- pleted numerous ongoing projects, as well as started a variety of new projects. Our top priorities contin- ued to include the Roadway Management Program (RMP), drainage improvements, and groundwater related flooding study implementation. The follow- ing is a list of projects that we continued to work on or have completed this year through field work, de- sign, inspection, and/or oversight. Ongoing Projects: Captain Ryder Road: Town Meeting approved the purchase of and the paperwork was finalized for the transfer of two buildable lots to the Town. The road reconstruction project was designed to use these lots for drainage and groundwater related flooding improvements in the immediate vicinity. A Nitrogen Loading Aggregation Plan was prepared and submitted to the State Department of Environ- mental Protection (DEP) for their review and subse- quent approval. This Plan was required as part of the lot purchase agreement to allow the seller to build two bedroom homes (instead of one bedroom homes) on two other adjacent Tots that he owned. The Deeds were subsequently prepared, reviewed, signed and recorded at the Registry of Deeds for the property purchase. The Highway Division com- pleted the bulk of the reconstruction and contrac- tors installed pavement and landscaping. Phase II Stormwater Implementation: As part of the EPA mandated Phase II Stormwater Man- agement Program, the required Annual Stormwater Management Report was prepared and submitted to the EPA and DEP in May. We continued to work with the IT Director and Town Planner to utilize the building permit database to estimate future added workload required to address the construction re- lated portion of the program. Engineering, Planning and Conservation Division staff met to determine the best method to draft and implement Stormwater Pre -Construction, Post -Construction and Illicit Dis- charge and Connection bylaws also required as part of this stormwater program. These by-laws will al- low the Town to: review proposed stormwater man- agement plans for projects that disturb greater than one acre of land; and, prohibit illegal discharges and connections to the Town's storm drainage systems. A comprehensive draft and several major revisions of the proposed bylaws were completed, and we plan to bring the proposed by-laws to a future An- nual Town Meeting for approval. Proposed DPW Facility: Preparation of plans and permit applications continued on this project on Buck Island Road. The proposed drainage re- tention basin to be constructed on this site was designed and staked in the field for review by the abutters. Photometric plans were prepared for the site lighting to ensure minimal lighting pollution im- pact on abutters. We prepared and submitted an application for a Beneficial Use Determination (BUD) to the DEP to reuse the Town street sweepings to build earthen berms as a means to visually buffer the project. This BUD application was the first one of its kind in the State to be submitted to the DEP under their new regulations. A Notice of Intent for the site improvements was prepared, filed, and ap- proved by the Conservation Commission, and an EPA compliant Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan was prepared. Proposed site plans were also sub- mitted to Site Plan Review and the Board of Ap- peals for their reviews and subsequent approvals. Packet Landing Improvement Project: As noted by the DPW Director above, this project got underway through the efforts of several DPW divi- sions. The Engineering Division's survey crew lo- cated existing site conditions prior to and following the building demolition work completed by the High- way Division. Site plans were reviewed, and the Board of Appeals application was filed and ap- proved. As part of a separate State grant process, we applied for and received funding for the design, permitting, and construction of a permanent boat 245 pumpout facility to be located on the Packet Land- ing site. Cape Cod Rail Trail: The Engineering Division actively participated in this project described above by the DPW . Director. The Division's survey crew continued flagging, staking, and topographic field survey work in preparation of existing conditions plans needed for the design and construction of the trail to be located in the railroad right of way. The crew flagged the property lines and a 400 foot radius around the water supply well north of the Flax Pond Recreation Area which will assist in the design of a multi -use path connecting the Recre- ation Area to the rail trail. Staff met with the Town of Dennis Engineers to discuss our survey data col- lection process, and to share benchmark elevations along the rail right of way and at the bridge over Bass River. We also staked the railroad right-of-way along the proposed trail layout parallel to the exist- ing railroad tracks on Willow Street in West Yarmouth. Willow Street Improvements: We worked with the various utilities (Keyspan, NStar and Verizon) on work associated with the improvements to Willow Street and Route 6, Exit 7 as noted by the DPW Director above. Station Avenue Improvements - Phase II: This project was completed early in the spring with Ioaming and seeding and resolution of a few side- walk related issues. Crab Creek Culvert Replacement Project (North Dennis Road): A site visit was completed with pertinent Town departments and VHB (design and permitting consultant) prior to making final de- sign decisions. Public meetings were held with in- terested abutters, Police and Fire Departments, and utility companies in August and September. Project applications were prepared for and approved by the Conservation Commission and the Historic Com- mission. The project is presently being bid and we hope to construct the improvements during 2007. Drainage Outlet Pipes: The survey crew, us- ing GPS, continued to locate and inventory drain- age basins and outlet pipes throughout Town. The final product, a map and inventory of the Town's drainage facilities, is another requirement of EPA's Phase II Stormwater Management Program noted above. South Street Sidewalk: A public meeting was held to discuss the proposed sidewalk design and project implementation on South Street. The High- way Division presently plans to construct the side- walk in 2 to 3 phases over the next 2 to 3 years, and will complete most of the actual construction work with some assistance from contractors. As a fol- low-up to the public meeting, we met with Highway and Police staff to review possible short-term traf- fic improvements at the Old Main Street and Willow Street intersections. We also located fence and land- scape encroachments at seven locations along South Street and Old Main Street, and the Highway Division began removing or relocating these en- croachments. Shore Road Culvert Replacement Project: The Engineering Division obtained several State Grants for the study, design, and permitting for the replacement of a failed culvert on Shore Road in West Yarmouth. We have contributed many hours in support of this project. Ongoing meetings were held throughout the year with: representatives of the State Coastal Zone Management (CZM) team; the abutters at a public information meeting; and, Town departments. Other work included the follow- ing: provided digital files and color aerial photo- graphs to CZM; located existing drain pipes; ob- tained spot grades; compiled existing septic sys- tem plans and Conservation Commission plans; completed GPS survey to locate the centerline of abutting roads; completed research and drafted a second CZM Wetland Restoration Program Grant Application for the construction phase. Roadway Management Program: Using a computer generated list developed by the Road- way Management Program software as a starting point, the Town Engineer, Assistant DPW Director, and DPW Director developed a lengthy list of roads to receive maintenance during 2006. As a result, the following roads were sealed with a rubberized chip material: Highbank Road, Ansel! Hallett Road, and Pleasant Street. The following roads were sealed with conventional chip material: April Way, Hawthorne Road, Jonquil Road, Lucerne Drive, Musket Lane, Waggon Road, Brae Burn Lane, Chip- ping Green Circle, Curve Hill Road, Driving Tee Circle, Fairwood Road, Golfers Circle, Hole -In -One Drive, Lily Pond Drive, Out -of -Bounds Drive, Par Three Drive, Beaver Brook Road, Biscayne Avenue, Clear Brook Road, Deep Brook Road, Fast Brook Road, Fin Brook Road, Harding Lane, Hialeah Av- enue, Hidden Acres Avenue, Johnson Lane, 246 Kennedy Lane, Mirror Brook Road, Monroe Lane, Snow Brook Road, Taft Road, Truman Lane, Wil- son Road, Heritage Drive, Homestead Lane, and Fire Station #2 parking lot in Yarmouth Port. The following roads were leveled with asphalt (most of which will receive a conventional chip seal in the future): the Bass Hole parking lot, Center Street, Eileen Street, Ginger Plum Lane, Ivy Lane, Jupiter Lane, Long Pond Drive (east end), Lyman Lane, Mars Lane, Mercury Drive, South Shore Drive (private portion), Thacher Town Park parking area, Turtle Cove Road, Venus Road, and Victory Lane. The fol- lowing roads or portions thereof, were recon- structed: Captain Ryder Road, Malfa Road, Pheas- ant Cove Circle (dead end), and Taylor Road. The following gravel roads were paved: Arbor Street, Bog Road, Circuit Road, Ken's Way, South Road, Wharf Lane, Ernest Road, Run Pond Road extension, Ver- mont Avenue, and Willow Lane. New Projects: Drainage Contract forVarious Locations: This contract was prepared, advertised and awarded to Robert B. Our, Inc. in January 2006. Additional sites were added to this contract during the summer, two of which were funded through a CZM Coastal Pol- lution Remediation (CPR) Grant along Bass River. Another site added was Neptune Lane, which had a long standing drainage problem at the entrance at Route 28. Two property owners abutting the site contributed funds to the project, as this occurred on a private road. Other locations for drainage im- provements under this contract included: Alison Lane (2 sites), Anastasia Road (3), April Way (2), Beach Road, Burning Tree Lane, Capstan Lane, Captain Percival Road, Captain Ryder Road at Nau- tical Lane, Captain Weiler Road, Chipping Green Circle (2), Clearbrook Road (2), Conservation Drive, Dauphine Drive, Eileen Street, Exeter Road (3), Fairwood Road, Driving Tee Circle, Waggon Road, Dauphine Drive, Eileen Street, Fairway Road, Firestone Drive, Follins Pond Road (2), Gun Rock Road, Jerusha Lane (2), Gleason Avenue, Heritage Drive (2), Hunters Circle (3), Kathryn Michael Road, Lake Road, Lewis Bay Blvd, Mayfair Road, Meadowbrook Road, Midpine Road, Nauset Road, Neptune Lane, North Dennis Road (2), Par Three Drive, Paula Lane, Randolph Road, Springer Lane, Theodore Roosevelt Road, Truman Lane, Waggon Road, West Great Western Road (2), and Whistler Lane. Other Drainage Projects: We continued to design small drainage improvements for installation by the Highway Division. Sites included: Nearmeadows Road, Capt. Percival Road, Capt. Weiler Road, Springer Lane, Wilson Road, Hidden Acres Road, Beverly Road, Nickerson Farm Way, and Nantucket Avenue. Towards the end of 2006, we continued to work on drainage designs for ad- ditional projects to be installed in 2007, including: Wisteria and Bayberry Roads, Acorn Hill Drive, Lewis Bay Boulevard, Berry Avenue, Sunset Lane, Capt. Nickerson Road, St. Andrews Way, and Winslow Gray Road. Huntington Avenue Drainage Improvements: Following several alternative solution design evalu- ations and meetings with the abutters regarding the continuing drainage problem on Huntington Avenue, the Town and abutters came to an agreement on a solution to correct the issue. The Engineering Divi- sion completed the research for and prepared the alternative drainage designs needed for the selec- tion process. A draft plan was prepared showing a proposed land swap and a drainage easement needed to construct the selected solution. The land swap and drainage easement were approved at a Special Town Meeting. Shaws Market Renovations: The renovation of Shaw's Market involved various changes to the surrounding roadways, with the Town working with the MHD (Massachusetts Highway Department) and the developer (Davenport Realty). Route 28 was redesigned at the site to accommodate a traffic sig- nal and improved driveway entrances and side- walks. The Mars Lane and Jupiter Lane intersec- tion was improved with intersection realignment, and drainage and signage improvements (including a 4- way stop). Engineering staff worked with the con- sultants and contractors on Road Opening Permits, design suggestions and reviews, inspections, and final construction punch list issues. New Fire Station: Following Town Meeting ap- proval, plans for the building of a new fire station at Buck Island and Town Brook Roads got underway. We compiled and forwarded deed references, ex- isting condition site plans, and utility information to the Fire Department's building design consultants. Staff continued to assist the Fire Chief on this project by: staking the site improvements, setting a project benchmark, and inspecting limited portions of the work as it proceeded during 2006. 247 Shore Erosion at Bayview Beach: We met with pertinent Town departments to discuss and design this project. We completed: a topographic survey of the site, a proposed design showing appropriate erosion control measures, and filed for the needed permits. Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS): We prepared a Request for Pro- posals for a DPW -wide CMMS to improve DPW efficiency, record keeping, scheduling and tracking of manpower and costs. Rick deMello, as part of the Selection Committee, joined several DPW Divi- sion Heads for site visits to Norwalk, Ct, Nashua, NH and Brookline, MA to observe and evaluate al- ternative CMMS systems. He and Barbara Benoit participated in interviews of the final three firms, with MIS/Cityworks being selected. In preparation for set up and training, Barbara (with the cooperation of DPW divisions' clerical staff) created databases of information that will be incorporated in the system, namely: street listings (town/private/house numbers/ pavement/gravel/scenic); employees; Town prop- erty; and vehicles and equipment. Miscellaneous Assistance and Other Projects: Bidding Assistance: The Town Engineer and Clerical Staff prepared, reviewed and assisted many Town departments with bidding document prepa- ration during 2006. The following are some of these projects: Traffic Signal Repair and Maintenance - Highway Division; Bayberry Hills Irrigation System - Golf Division; Lawn Care Services - Buildings and Grounds (B&G) Division; Bass River Golf Course Dam Replacement Project - Golf Division; Emer- gency Generator for Town Hall — B&G Division; Mis- cellaneous Tradesmen - B&G Division; Computer- ized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) RFP - DPW; Barnstable County Roadway Construc- tion and Materials Bids - DPW; Building Cleaning Contract - B&G Division; Rubbish Collection - B&G Division; Grays Beach Boardwalk Repair - B&G Di- vision; Office Alterations at Senior Center - B&G Division; Salt Shed at DPW Facility Site; and, Wood Chipper -Highway Division. Rick deMello contin- ued to work with the County for annual bidding of Roadway Construction and Materials Bid; five Cape towns participated in 2006, and hopefully several additional Cape towns will join us in 2007. Consultant Assistance: The Engineering staff worked with several outside consultants and con- tractors on several large projects within the Town, including: Cape Cod Hospital addition, parking lot improvements, and Bayview Street drainage im- provements; Hawk's Wing Subdivision off West Great Western Road; Mill Pond Village off Camp Street; Proposed Town Affordable Housing at Fenway; Wind Generation Project; and, Walden Way Subdivision off Route 6A. Miscellaneous Assistance: The following are some of the services and assistance provided to other departments. • Revised the Waste Disposal and Guide di- rectional hand out. • Surveyed and staked many locations for the Highway Division for encroachment identifi- cation and/or proposed roadwork. • Staked Chandler Gray Cemetery for further development of driveways and plots. • Copied several sets of FEMA maps for the Fire Department. • Assisted Buildings and Grounds Division with staking and creating plans for replacement of the stairs at the Judah Baker Windmill. • Measured the leaf compost piles for the Waste Management Division. • Assisted the Highway Division with the con- struction of the Forest Road sidewalk. • Located property bounds, surveyed and pre- pared an existing conditions plan, and drafted preliminary design plans for a proposed boardwalk east of the pavilion at Bass Hole for the Natural Resources and Conservation Divisions. • Assisted the Golf Division by producing irri- gation piping and gas venting plans in AutoCad for the proposal to add irrigation to the Links course. • Created a Motel Overlay District (zoning) in GIS for the Town Planner. • Obtained VHB's services to conduct pave- ment corings at ten locations where pave- ment repairs have been completed by utili- ties or private contractors needed to check pavement repair quality. • Continued to work with Long Pond Drive resi- dents to evaluate truck and speed issues that they brought to the Town's attention. • Continued to work with VHB on the Keveney Lane and Highbank Road bridge repair projects. • Assisted the Police Department with the de - 248 velopment of reconstruction plans of several fatal accidents. • Assisted the Water Division on GIS maps, GPS surveys, and GIS software. • Continued to participate on committees and review boards, including: Site Plan Review, Street Sign Committee, Pole/Utility Hearings, Recycling and Solid Waste Advisory Com- mittee. Educational Seminars and Training: Engineer- ing staff attended several educational seminars and training sessions during the year, including: Trench Safety; Pavement Maintenance and Inspection; State Bidding Law Updates; Computerized Payroll Administration; "Breaking Barriers -Low Impact De- velopment"; Cape Cod Commission "Project Storm" Meetings; Outlook/Email Management Computer Course; Bid Training Seminar on Comm -Pass (State Bid Web Site); OSHA Safety Training; American Public Works Association conference seminars; Confined Space Safety; AutoDesk Land Desktop 2007; "Right to Know" seminar; Cape Cod Com- mission Field trip to UNH Stormwater Center; EPA/ DEP sponsored seminar regarding the Protection and Restoration of Coastal Wetlands. Staff also completed self tutorial instruction of the follow- ing software: GPS Carlson Survey CE; Allegro Data Collection; components of AutoDesk; and, Civil 3D. Highway Division James Lefter, Assistant DPW Director The main functions of the Highway Division are repair and maintenance of our roadway surfaces including patching holes in the pavement, berm in- stallation and repair at the edge of the paved road- way, grading gravel roadways, catch basin clean- ing and repair, roadside brush and litter cleanup, roadside mowing and trimming, tree trimming and cutting, weed control, sign installation and repair, street sweeping, traffic signal repair and mainte- nance, special projects and most importantly, re- sponding to snow and ice conditions throughout the winter. The Highway Division has had some personnel changes in 2006 with the departure of Bob Tokarz to the Transfer Station, and the departure of Oscar Ramirez due to family circumstances. At this time, Dave Griswold is our new Heavy Equipment Op- erator and Audrey Rano is our new Heavy Truck Driver. Both have the experience and knowledge to help out right from the start. Roadside Maintenance Brush cutting and trimming has become a con- stant problem throughout town. With 243 miles of roads, keeping the brush cut back to eliminate sight obstructions continues to be a big job. Requests for brush cutting increased from 308 requests last year to almost 400 requests this year Roadside mowing is usually done twice a sea- son, but this past summer, cutting was done three times and a few locations were done four times. Litter on the roadsides continues to be a major prob- lem; Nick Garofolo collected an average of 8-10 bags of trash each day, five days a week, for five months. The policy for maintaining gravel roads has changed to grading roads only once a year due to the amount of time, labor, and cost required annu- ally. We are trying to eliminate the number of gravel roads each year, as funds are available. Traffic Signs and Pavement Markings The Highway Division's sign section repairs and replaces various traffic signs throughout the town including the removal of concrete street name signs and the replacement with new metal signs. The Sign section replaced a large number of street signs that had been stolen or vandalized. This section is also responsible for continuously monitoring the condi- tion of pavement markings and then re -marking them; including crosswalks, stop bars, centerlines and fog lines. This Division has been looking into other types and methods of line painting to help reduce the increasing costs of repainting every year, and to improve the visibility of the lines at night and in rainy weather. Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance The Highway Division has two full time mechan- ics responsible for the repair and maintenance of all the equipment used throughout the year. This includes preventive maintenance, scheduled servic- ing, snow and ice equipment repair and the instal- lation of new attachments to existing trucks or equipment. At times during the winter months the mechanics may need additional help from the Divi- sion and sometimes in the slower summer time the mechanics will help out the Division as heavy equip- ment operators. Resurfacing/Overlays/Repairs and Maintenance The Highway Division completed several road - 249 way projects this year in addition to the normal pav- ing and patching. A portion of Captain Ryder Road was designed by the Engineering Division to raise a section of that roadway by 2' to 2-1/2'. The High- way Division replaced the drainage, graded the road and surrounding areas, and had the contractor pave the entire area. This project eliminated a roadway water hazard and helped eliminate some water is- sues with home owners. The Division had a very aggressive year completing a large amount of crack sealing, crack filling, road leveling, and the never- ending repairing of catch basins. The Division also repaired and added drainage structures or catch basins to numerous areas throughout town. Snow and Ice The 2005 — 2006 winter snow and ice season was considered a normal Cape Cod winter. Quite a bit of sanding and salting took place. The Highway sanders spread almost 4000 tons of sand, just over 1600 tons of salt, and almost 2000 gallons of ice melt solution. The heavier snowfall of the previous year didn't happen and everyone was quite pleased with the limited snowfall. Tree Division The Tree Division had a very busy year with cut- ting and trimming of trees throughout the town. A very high number of site distance complaints were taken care of this year. Our tree contractor took down a lot of trees that were dead or dying. Most of the trees taken down were taken down because of safety issues. Sweeping While working with our private contractors all 235 miles of town paved roads were swept as well as 33 town owned parking lots. In December the Town of Yarmouth received a Beneficial Use Deter- mination (BUD) from DEP to use street sweepings on other projects. This could save the Town the cost of hauling away the sweepings and dumping fees associated with the sweeping contract. Building and Grounds Under the direction of the Assistant DPW Di- rector and Principal Office Assistants Roby Whitehouse and Toni Parent the Buildings and Grounds Division consist of the Grounds (formerly Park) and Buildings (formerly Structures) Divisions, and the Cemetery Division. There are many func- tions these three Divisions are responsible for and the coordination of labor and resources is essential in the operation of this Division along with other DPW Divisions. Building (formerly Structures) Division The Buildings Division now has two full time employees: Bob Carlson is the Buildings and Grounds Craftsman III, and Richard Court is the new Buildings and Grounds Craftsman II. Together, Bob and Dick have been vigorously working on numer- ous projects throughout the Town. The major projects completed by this team in- clude the purchase and installation of a new emer- gency generator to power Town Hall during any emergencies. Also, this past year the Buildings Di- vision worked with the contractors on the renova- tion of the South Yarmouth Library. With the efforts of our employees in assisting the contractors, a lot of work was added to the contract at no extra cost to the Town. The West Yarmouth Library also had all the trim repaired and/or replaced and painted; the windows were also replaced by the Buildings Division. Earlier this year, the Buildings Division spent a lot of time repairing numerous structures at the Flax Pond Recreation Facility. These projects are major undertakings for such a small division, but what has been accomplished and not yet mentioned are the many repairs com- pleted throughout the Town, for all departments. The mix of responsibilities include these repairs as well as daily requests received from all of the employ- ees. These include the moving of furniture, the re- placing of lights, replacing burnt out lamps and bulbs in fixtures, the set-up of meeting rooms and the like. We will continue to do our best to improve the con- dition of the Town properties and to assist other departments with building issues as time permits During the winter months both men are out plowing with the Highway Division, as well as keep- ing the sidewalks at Town Hall and other Town build- ings clear and safe. The Buildings Division would like to thank all of the other DPW employees for their help on many of these projects. Grounds (formerly Park) Division This past year was very productive for the Grounds Division. Along with the usual maintenance, repairs and upkeep, the Grounds Division was in - 250 volved in some much needed projects. Sandy Pond recreational facility was outfitted with new tennis courts and fencing throughout the facility. This, along with the new soccer field and complete paving makes this a very attractive facil- ity for all residents. Judah Baker Windmill had major improvements done to the grounds surrounding the windmill. The whole area was reconstructed by Division person- nel with new boardwalks (handicap accessible), new lawn area and a new set of steps down to the wa- ter. The work crew had a busy year with the main- tenance of all the beaches and park facilities. They worked seven days a week for ten (10) weeks, kept all the booth attendants on schedule, picked up rubbish once or twice a day, and extended the hours the restrooms were open - all very time consuming and labor intensive for the Grounds crew. In the winter months, the Grounds Division em- ployees are involved in working with the Highway Division. The Grounds Division assists with plow- ing and when available will work on joint projects. The rest of the time is spent doing outside projects such as cutting brush in areas around park and rec- reational facilities as well as the reconstruction and repairs of docks, life guard stands, and numerous park and recreation signs throughout the Town. Cemetery Division The Cemetery Division is responsible for the care and maintenance of seven Town owned cemeter- ies. The Cemetery office is situated at the 507 Buck Island Road Highway building. The Cemetery Divi- sion sells and records all deed information for all burials or cremations in the town owned cemeter- ies. The work crew has a steady workload of cut- ting, trimming, fertilizing, and plantings that are on- going. This Division also takes care of most of its own mechanical needs, repairing its lawnmowers and other equipment. During 2006 there were 67 burials in town - owned cemeteries. Included in this figure are 21 cremation burials. There were a total of 56 lots sold this year, including 7 cremation lots, with an addi- tional 27 lots given to veterans at no charge. During the slower times, cemetery employees work with other DPW Divisions on indoor repair and maintenance projects, such as painting and small construction work. This year, Cemetery employees 251 joined the Highway team in removing debris from the Packet Landing demolition project. Cemetery employees additionally joined with the Building Di- vision to move books at the South Yarmouth Li- brary during renovations there, and helped with set- ting up tables and chairs at the Senior Center for special events As part of the guidelines of a "Conceptual Site Plan" for Chandler Gray Cemetery created in April, 1996, land was cleared and roadways defined in the southwest area. Also Section H, an additional Veterans Section, was expanded by adding 50 lots (100 grave sites). In the northern area, 120 lots were laid out in an area designated as "B-2" since its location is adjacent to the existing Section B. At Ancient Cemetery, a road relocation project led to the building of a stone wall in the back area because so many stones were uncovered during this activity. The work continues as grave restora- tion uncovers more stones. The acquisition from the Golf Department of a Jacobsen Turbo diesel -powered mower with an 8 foot cutting width has greatly improved mowing ef- fectiveness of the large open areas at Chandler Gray Cemetery. The two large U. S. Flags, one at the Chandler Gray entrance circle and the other centrally located in Veterans Sections G, are now lighted in the evening. The painting of horizontal pipe between the granite vertical posts that fences our cemeteries was initiated again following break of that activity for some years. With the approval of the Board of Selectmen on 9/19/2006 a "Town of Yarmouth Cemetery Hand- book" was printed and is now available to Resi- dents. Waste Management Division Robert B. Angell, Superintendent The Waste Management Division oversees the operation of two facilities, the Yarmouth Disposal Area and Yarmouth -Barnstable Regional Transfer Station (YBRTS). Yarmouth Disposal Area: The Disposal Area has three different areas within the facility. First is the Residential Drop -Off Area where the residents dispose of their garbage and recyclables. Second is the Compost Area where leaves, grass and small pruning are deposited so they can be composted on site. Third is the Scale Area where anyone, resident or not, can pay to de- posit such items as construction material, metal items, brush, propane tanks and items with cool- ants in them such as refrigerators and air conditioners(CFC's and HFC's). The Swap Shop, where items can be left for reuse and treasures can be found, had a good sea- son in 2006, with few problems and a lot of satis- fied customers. This facility is run by volunteers and is not operated by the town. With technical assistance from the firm of CDM Inc. (formerly known as Camp, Dresser, and McKee) we oversee the gas collection system, air quality, groundwater and cap of the landfill that was closed in 1997. Working with an outside firm who screens all of our compost we were able to give around 1500 yards of finished compost to residents starting in the first week of April. Each year the compost pro- gram grows larger due to the enormous amount of leaves, grass and shrub clippings that come in dur- ing the year. The staff waters and turns the com- post rows every four to six weeks year round. That is what makes the compost break down and be- come the rich material that residents enjoy after screening. Over the past four years we have been able to remove a substantial amount of hazardous wastes from our waste stream with the recycling of mer- cury bearing products; and hazardous waste col- lections, in association with the Yarmouth Board of Health and the Town of Barnstable. The Barnstable Solid Waste Division and the Barnstable County Hazardous Materials Program host five collection events, which Yarmouth Residents can participate in. The collections are held at the Barnstable resi- dential transfer station in Marstons Mills. The Disposal Area is open everyday with the exception of Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day and the afternoon of July 4th. The facility operates with 9 full time and 6 part time employ- ees. It is important for residents to understand that everything brought into the facility must at some time be hauled away to another destination, most of which are off Cape. The following list is the vol- umes that were removed in 2006. Material Quantity Processed Antifreeze 500 gallons Auto Batteries 882 units Brush 1194.69 tons CFC's/HFC's 1582 units Cathode Ray Tubes 2704 units Commingled Recyclables 364.26 tons Construction& Demolition 9,987.91 tons Corrugated Cardboard 338.56 tons 5 0 Returnables 31.12 tons Fluorescents 1968 units Household Garbage 9,878.36 tons Magazines 90.88 tons Metals 864.86 tons Motor Oil 3600 gallons Newsprint & Mixed Paper 832.38 tons Propane Tanks 588 units Textiles 128.69 tons Tires 42.25 tons Woodchips 28.96 tons Yarmouth -Barnstable Regional Transfer Station (YBRTS): YBRTS receives waste from the residential drop off facilities of the Towns of Yarmouth and Barnstable, as well as commercial waste from all over the Barnstable County. This waste is received in a variety of collection vehicles. The facility opened in July of 1991 and has seen a steady growth in tons per year, as the population of the Cape has increased. In calendar 1992 the station processed 43,034.43. The YBRTS operates with a staff of 5 full time and 3 part time employees. The facility is open 7 days per week year round with the exception of Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. During the summer months YBRTS runs ex- panded hours to better serve its commercial cus- tomers. The following is the amount of solid waste in tons YBRTS processed for shipment, primarily by rail, to SEMASS,,a waste to energy plant in Roch- ester MA. During 2006 the station shipped 94,950.54 tons, using 2,198 railcars and 164 trucks. I would like to thank my staff at both facilities for their excellent work and commitment to the town and its residents over the past year. They work well together and move an exceptional amount of waste and recyclables every day. I am proud of what they have accomplished. 252 Water Division Danny J. Mills, Superintendent Total number of water services 16,340 Total number of hydrants 2,094 Number of pumping stations 24 Number of corrosion control facilities 17 Number of water storage tanks 3 Total water storage capacity 9,250,000 Total acres of land maintained 963 Gallons of water pumped for 2006 1,237,853,181 Number of Seasonal accounts checked 1,694 Number of leaks repaired 198 Number of Dig Safes marked out 2412 WATER MAIN INVENTORY SIZE LENGTH (MILES) 1 1/2 - 4 inches 8.41 6 inches 72.13 8 inches 102.52 10 inches 17.80 12 inches 37.26 16 inches 5.60 20 inches 3.58 TOTAL 246.89 (FEET) 44,400 ft 380,838 541,290 94,080 196,710 29,568 18,924 1,303,579 would like to express my deepest apprecia- tion to the employees of the Yarmouth Water Divi- sion whose professionalism, dedication and hard work has made everything we have accomplished possible. would also like to offer a most sincere thank you to all Town Departments, Agencies and to the Citizens of Yarmouth for their support and assis- tance during 2006. Additionally, we welcome to the Water Division new hires: Lula Varetimos, Depart- ment Assistant II; Rob Orcutt and Stan Miranda, Water Service Technician II; Jon Hayward, Instru- mentation specialist; and congratulations to Randy Menard for advancement to Water Service Techni- cian III. We pumped a total of 1,237,853,181 gallons of water to the residents of Yarmouth during the year 2006 as compared to 1,410,906,632 gallons for the year 2005. WHY? Dryer season in 06? June of 06 was very wet by my recollection. Although Yarmouth experienced a dryer year than normal 44.45" VS 46.1 ", we experienced unusually wet months in both June and July, (6.54"and 9.76" respectively). Tradi- tionally that is the start of our heavy pumping sea- son to supply water to our citizenry. Since the lawns were green from the rain, the extra burden to water and beautify the town was lessened. We thank the residents of Yarmouth for their thoughtful and judi- cious use of this precious resource. Water production decreased, (conservation), during 2006 by 12.2%. That is 173 million less gal- lons than was pumped in 2005. The peak day was on 8/2/2006 when 9,619,302 gallons were pumped. The peak week occurred the 1 st week of July when 57.5million gallons were pumped, which was 5.4 million gallons less than in 2005. The peak month was August when 216,464,801 gallons were pumped. 312,286 pounds of Potassium Hydroxide was added to the water at our 17 corrosion control fa- cilities to raise the pH to an average of 7.5, thus making the water less corrosive, as required by the Safe Drinking Water Act. Rainfall, measured at our Buck Island Road of- fice was 44.45-inches.This amount of rain equates to 19.72 billion gallons of rain on the Town of Yarmouth. The Division continues with our many programs; Inspection and testing of backflow devices, inspec- tion and maintenance of hydrants, regular equip- ment maintenance, and the Water Meter Replace- ment Program. The Division has embarked on the Water Meter Replacement Program wherein all resi- dential water meters are replaced every 10 years and larger commercial water meters are either recalibrated or replaced on a regular basis. This is done to ensure fair and equitable billing to all our customers. Recycling & Solid Waste Advisory Committee Joseph Sarnosky, Chairman The Recycling and Solid Waste Advisory Com- mittee worked throughout 2006 on studying the fea- sibility of a curbside collection program for solid waste and recyclables. The committee initially re- viewed the difference between bidding/privatization and the Town providing the service with in-house personnel. This included researching the advan- tages and disadvantages of each, as well as the funding options. We had met with the Falmouth Solid Waste managers to review their experience with contract collection for their entire town. After review- ing their cost and experience the committee thought Yarmouth could also provide curbside collection services. 253 In February, the committee met with Matt Zurowich, the Town Assessor who assisted with defining residences, assessment and their relation to the tax base. It was decided that single and two- family residences would have their solid waste and recyclables collected, which would probably include rentals and duplexes. However, condominiums cre- ated a sticking point due to their definition or "form of ownership". Edith DeMello, the Southeastern D.E.P. repre- sentative was very helpful to the committee with this study. She met with the committee and con- tinually forwarded much information throughout the year. She provided results from other city/town pro- grams, contract templates and samples, and gen- eral support for our continuing project of better waste handling through curbside collection. Bob Lawton attended a meeting in May to dis- cuss implementation, funding options, bidding and the legal aspects of an undertaking of this magni- tude. This meeting was very informative and gave the committee insight into the workings of munici- pal services/contracts. The committee also reviewed various legal opinions relative to municipal curbside collection and solid waste contract issues. Following these meetings and input, the com- mittee sought informal quotes from commercial haulers to estimate the cost of curbside collection in Yarmouth. Letters were sent out to several haul- ers, but only one local firm responded. Their esti- mated cost also was higher than anticipated by the committee. Another letter was sent out as a follow up requesting estimates from other firms, with no response. The committee, at the end of 2006, is now re- searching costs associated with the Town (person- nel and equipment) providing the curbside collec- tion service. This option presents different funding aspects, and would entail purchase of equipment and hiring of additional employees and possibly an override. The committee is currently preparing a presen- tation of their findings and hopes to meet with the Board of Selectmen early in 2007. The committee met several times throughout the year with D.E.P. In the spring, Edith DeMello held a meeting in Yarmouth for all Cape recycling com- mittees. The intent was for the towns to compare their operations, ideas, and problems and share their successes and solutions. The meeting was well at- tended and well received. In August and Novem- ber, D.E.P. also sponsored meetings in Yarmouth, to institute a Recycling Paper Campaign for the Cape. Ideas for a paper recycling logo, press re- leases and funding were discussed at these meet- ings. It is hoped that D.E.P. will continue to sponsor and support this effort to insure its success. The committee continued throughout 2006 to monitor the operations at the Disposal Area and Transfer Station, offering support where needed. Rob Angell, Waste Magement Division Superinten- dent of the DPW, continues to attend RASWAC meetings and keeps the committee informed of the activities at both Waste Management facilities. He also updates the members of regulation changes, handling and collection changes, and management issues. The committee will continue in 2007 to work towards a final report for the Board of Selectmen on their charge of researching a curbside collection program. They will also continue to seek the most efficient and cost effective options for the Town's solid waste and recycling collection programs.

During Fiscal Year 2006, the Assembly reviewed and adopted the Board of County Commissioner's budget for fiscal year 2007, which reflects minimal increases in the budget of County departments. Numerous supplemental appropriations were approved throughout the year using funds that were not anticipated due to increased revenues from the Registry of Deeds. The Assembly members funded Elders at Risk; a CAC Outreach worker; the Leader- ship Council; the Cape Cod Community College Diploma Pius Program; the Clean Team; the Harwich Pond Study. In addition, Water Quality Initiatives were funded as a result of Regional Initiatives that were formulated over several years, as well as the use of Growth Management set-aside funds. The Assembly of Delegates adopted an ordi- nance for the purpose of making loans to residents of the County for repairing, replacing and/or upgrad- ing residential septic systems, including all inciden- tal and related costs, pursuant to agreements be- tween the County and residential property owners. This ordinance was made possible through legisla- tion that allowed Barnstable County to enter into this type of agreement on behalf of participating towns. Other work of the Assembly of Delegates dur- ing the year, included the establishment of two new entities, a Human Rights Commission, and the Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative, both of which were a result of regional need and public input; the establishment of an Ad Hoc Committee to review the report of the Charter Review Committee and make recommendations to the Assembly of Del- egates; an appropriation for funding the Cape Light Compact initiative for Municipal Energy Efficiency, an on-going County program; the creation of a Dis- trict of Critical Planning Concern (DCPC) in the Pond Village area of Barnstable; and amendment of the Cape Cod Commission's Enabling Regulations which govern review of Developments of Regional Impact, to allow for the application of a cumulative DRI threshold in the newly established Growth In- centive Zone in downtown Hyannis. A complete list of ordinances adopted by the Assembly of Delegates is available upon request or can be viewed on the Assembly's web page which can be accessed at http://www.vsf.cape.com/ .aofd/. Respectfully submitted, Charlotte B. Striebel, Delegate 255 BARNSTABLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT COMMISSION I, as your representative, attended eleven out of twelve Airport Commission meetings this past year. During the meeting I represented Yarmouth's inter- est on a list of important issues such as noise abate- ment, airplane safety issues and control of pollu- tion. 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 have been allowed to participate is some of the sub -committee work of Commission members. Some of the specific areas in which I was more deeply involved were: 1. Assisted in making sure the aircraft beacon just off 6A near Peterson's Market would not be affected by a new residential development. 2. Involved with new noise study in the Town of Yarmouth (2007) 3. I have been placed on an Airport Subcom- mittee concerning environmental issues. have regularly reported back to the Board of Selectmen on activities at Barnstable Municipal Air- port. 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. 256 Respectfully submitted, Robert L. Howard Yarmouth's Representative to Barnstable Airport Commission CAPE LIGHT COMPACT COMMITTEE Town of Yarmouth Activities The Cape Light Compact was formed in 1997 following two years of study and votes of town boards of selectmen and town counsel. It is orga- nized 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 participat- ing municipality has a representative on the Com- pact Governing Board, which sets policy and works with staff, technical and legal support to advance the Cape Light Compact programs. POWER SUPPLY In 2006, the Cape Light Compact" (Compact)` provided energy to residents and businesses in ac- cordance with a competitive electricity supply con- tract negotiated by the Compact with ConEdison Solutions. Although prices were initially high as a result of hurricanes Katrina and Rita in late 2005, the Compact continually worked to lower prices throughout the year. Commencing in July, prices for all customer rate classes were reduced by 1 cent per kWh in order to lower electricity bills for the re- mainder of 2006. In addition, the Compact was able to reduce electricity prices for all of the town's municipal ac- counts as a result of a separate procurement of energy in the spring of 2006. These reductions, ef- fective in April 2006, saved between 25% and 30% on electricity bills for the town's municipal build- ings, schools, and other town related facilities. While these savings were not seen directly on consum- ers' individual electric bills, these savings flow through to all taxpayers in the town as a result of lower tax bills. Competition for consumers was more fully re- alized in 2006 as more competitive suppliers came into the market to serve residential as well as com- mercial and industrial accounts. The Cape Light Compact supports a competitive market for all con- sumers as was envisioned by the Electric Restruc- turing Act of 1997. As of December 2006, the Com- pact had 14,898 electric accounts in the Town of Yarmouth on its energy supply. ENERGY EFFICIENCY From January to November 2006, rebates and other efficiency incentive programs provided to the town by the Compact totaled approximately $331,042 brought savings to 998 participants of $317,295 or about 2,115,298 kilowatt-hours of en- ergy saved for 2006. Funding for the energy efficiency programs' (.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. 257 Cape Light Compact efforts include: • Retrofit the Yarmouth -Dennis Septic Plant with variable frequency drives and consult- ing services for the Yarmouth Fire Station. • 43 Low -Income homes retrofitted to reduce energy usage and increase comfort. • One solar panel at Mattacheese Middle School as part of the Solarize Our Schools campaign to sign up 3% of the occupied households in each town. Congratulations! • The Cape Light Compact brought energy education support to 25 students, parents, and teachers in two school programs. Respectfully submitted, Charlotte B. Striebel, Representative Jack Howard, Alternate ENERGY COMMITTEE The Yarmouth Energy Committee is appointed by the Board of Selectmen to advise on energy policy issues and recommend energy related initia- tives for the Town. Committee activities for 2006 included the compilation and review of electrical use for all town facilities and the creation of a wind en- ergy by-law. The by-law will focus on municipal based commercial scale wind turbines at munici- pal sites identified with high electrical energy con- sumption. The Committee has been engaged in the identification of potential wind energy sites across town for several years and has working with the Yarmouth. DPW to identify areas that do not conflict with the Barnstable Municipal Airport. The Town has also been working with the Massachusetts tech- nology Collaborative to identify a potential wind sites. A preliminary site was identified on Town prop- erty adjacent to the Police Station, well fields, Mattacheese and Marguerite E. Small school. The site was identified as a potential hazard to naviga- tion due to it's proximity to the airport by the FAA. This site has been tabled and additional will be re- evaluated while sites including the High School, Wastewater Treatment Plant, or several water de- partment sites are evaluated. The Yarmouth DPW has been a valuable ally in the efforts to date, in- cluding the development of a three dimensional map that represents potential airport conflict areas and height restrictions. We have worked with the school system in the past and hope to be able to also bring forth on-site renewable energy benefits for the re- gional school systems as well. In addition to the wind energy activities, the Energy Committee has formed ad hoc subcommit- tees to, investigate and track municipal utility activi- ties, legislation, and opportunities as well as other alternative resource opportunities such as energy conservation, solar, tidal and wind energy. We have finalized a municipal wind by-law for the 2007 an- nual town meeting, returned to the Committee for clarification at the 2006 Special Fall Town Meeting. Energy is a top priority for our town in control- ling energy costs for our community, the choices we make in our energy supply are not isolated to the simple economics, we are also impacting our world and our local environment in other ways such as coastal pollution, sea level rise and warming glo- bal temperatures. Our energy future will depend on the work we do today, and tax payers and residents of Yarmouth can benefit from domestic energy re- sources in cost savings, reduced pollution and po- tentially revenue generation for the town. The year 2007 will see progress towards municipal wind en- ergy implementation and further work toward con- trolling and determining the best energy options for the Town of Yarmouth. We have truly enjoyed this opportunity to bring value to our community. 258 Respectfully submitted, The Yarmouth Energy Committee: Brian Braginton-Smith, Chairman Jack Howard, Vice Chairman Evelyn. Hayes Steve Gavin Charlotte Striebel Henry Wingate Ed Bullock George Allaire, Yarmouth DPW Representative 1 GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE After being on hiatus for several months, the Committee was revived and five new members were appointed in February by the Moderator, Thomas George. They are John Grebe, Charlotte Striebel, John Howard, Thomas Murphy and James Robertson, bringing the total to nine. In April, the Board of Selectmen asked the Com- mittee to consider reviewing possible actions which could be taken to improve attendance at town meet- ing. Members of the Committee then contacted all the towns on the Cape to find out the comparison between attendance at their town meetings and the registered voters. Our study took several weeks and in August, we sent a letter to the Selectmen, with a copy to the Moderator, outlining several ideas which might improve attendance. The Committee meets at Town Hall the second Monday of each month at 4:00 PM. We are open to study any suggestions from the public which might be helpful in improving the government of the Town of Yarmouth. 259 Respectfully submitted, John Grebe James Hall John Howard George Lingenfelder Jessie Mazzur Thomas Murphy Rico Poliseno James Robertson Charlotte Striebel INTEGRATED WATER RESOURCES PLANNING COMMITTEE The Committee has now entered its fourth year of planning for wastewater collection and disposal. Over the past year, the Committee has focused its efforts on evaluating a variety of wastewater infra- structure plans (more commonly known as sewers and treatment plants), related costs and mecha- nisms for funding these costs. In large part, the Town's wastewater needs will determined by the results from the Massachusetts Estuaries Project (MEP), a cooperative effort between the School of Marine Science and Technology at UMASS, Dartmouth (SMAST) and the Massachusetts Depart- ment of Environmental Protection (DEP)and the Town. In Yarmouth, the MEP will scientifically evaluate the three estuaries in town: Lewis Bay (shared with the Town of Barnstable), Parkers River, and Bass River (shared with the Town of Dennis). The MEP study requires three years of water quality sampling and laboratory testing for each estuary as well as surveys of plant growth on the bottom of the water bodies, stream flow measuring to understand the amount of runoff and its contribution to the estuary. Sampling for each of Yarmouth's three estuaries is complete. We expect that the outcome of the MEP study will identify Nitrogen as being the real culprit, killing off the natural sea grasses, the prime incuba- tion areas for fin and shell fish. Nitrogen comes from various sources: storm water runoff, atmospheric deposition (mainly origi- nating from power plants west of here), from fertil- izer, but most importantly effluent from within everyone's septic system or effluent from small treat- ment plants. The only two Nitrogen sources that can realistically be controlled by the Town are the wastewater from our septic systems and the fertil- izer we place or have placed on our lawns. These contributing sources of Nitrogen either run into the water from above ground, through pipes and streams, or via the groundwater, ultimately find- ing their way into the estuary's water. As you may know, Nitrogen is the major component of fertilizer. As such, when it reaches the water it continues to promote plant growth in the form of macro algae, which clouds the water, as well as free floating al- gae that appears on our beaches. According to the surveys, the clouding of the water stresses and eventually kills the Tight loving sea grasses, almost eliminating all the incubation areas in our estuaries. For each watershed that contributes to the es- tuary via groundwater, the MEP computer program estimates, based on water consumption records, the amount of Nitrogen entering the groundwater from your septic system and subsequently enter- ing one of our estuaries. The MEP computer model will compare predicted Nitrogen level with the ac- tual three years of water quality sampling results for each estuary. In other words the computer will gen- erate numbers and how close these numbers cor- relate with the sampling results will verify the accu- racy of the computer outputs for that particular es- tuary. The real question is what will happen to this information once it is generated. The answer lies with DEP which, once armed with this information on Nitrogen concentrations in the water body, will set Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) limits for the particular estuary in question. The TMDL will determine the specific amount of Nitrogen that will have to be removed or prevented from entering the water body, in order for that water body to recover to a healthy state. This reduction in Nitrogen will be required so that sea grasses can re-establish themselves or be replanted so they will survive and thrive so as to re-establish these most valuable incubation areas. Chatham and Mashpee/Barnstable (for Poponessett Bay) have their results and are cur- rently working to implement plans to reach their TMDLs. We expect our MEP results in 2007 so we'll know how much Nitrogen must be removed from each estuary. How will the Nitrogen in the ground- water be removed? Most likely it will be removed with the installation of wastewater infrastructure or sewers. This has been the focus of the committees work in conjunction with our wastewater consult- ant CDM Inc. Through conventional wastewater needs plan- ning, based on lot size, Board of Health records re- garding on-site septic systems, density of develop- ment, soils, water tables, we've determined that the areas where sewers are probably necessary are the areas between Route 28 and Nantucket Sound, along Route 28 and a majority of the area immedi- ately north of Route 28, including Captains Village. 260 These areas are better delineated in the reports which are available at all 3 libraries. Executive sum- maries of wastewater planning efforts can be found on the town's website How much will it cost? We looked at several areas for a sewer layout analysis by CDM Inc. and determined the system will probably be a combi- nation of gravity pipes along Route 28, vacuum sew- ers in the neighborhoods, and low pressure sys- tems in some isolated areas. Based on the two ar- eas we have investigated the cost ranged from $23,000 to $33,000 per buildable lot, including col- lection, treatment and disposal infrastructure costs. The Committee has struggled with the issue of how this substantial cost could be defrayed, whether through a betterments assessment, through taxes or a combination of both? No real recommendation will be made until we actually get the results from the MEP and better understand the magnitude of our wastewater infrastructure needs and the corre- sponding price tag. We discussed the costs as well as other policy matters with the Selectmen. Again all this information is in reports at the three libraries. The committee investigated wastewater efflu- ent disposal sites and analyzed particle travel through services provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) on several town owned sites located outside the Aquifer Protection District (APD). This computer based exercise showed us where the effluent would travel in the groundwater over time. Since all treated effluent contains some amount of Nitrogen it was imperative to understand where the Nitrogen ended up in order not to over Toad the estuary with Nitrogen. Based on the worst case scenario, where we have to dispose of 1.7 261 million gallons per day of treated effluent, the com- mittee was please to find we had that capacity and more on town owned land to dispose of the efflu- ent. We'll still need the MEP results to understand which disposal sites can be used without upsetting the Nitrogen balance. Yet we still need to investigate how we will re- store the roadway surfaces along with that addi- tional roadway restoration cost when the time comes for installing the actual pipelines and how to defray that cost as well. The Town also will have a sepa- rate committee looking at Route 28, with potential village centers, working with the Massachusetts Highway Department to plan for what Route 28 will become in the near future after the sewer pipes are installed. More will come when we get the MEP reports early next year, which is when the real scientific re- sults are in and the public discussion begins in ear- nest.

Open every day, year round, the arena of- fers programs for pre-school age children to senior citizens. Our Learn to Skate, Learn to Play Hockey and Semi -Private clinics, for kids and adults of all ages and levels, are held all year two or three times a week. Our Parent and Tot program is very popular as you can skate with your child. We also have Adult Group and Adult Dance classes, plus public skat- ing for everyone. "Rock Nite" with a DJ and disco lights is every Friday night for 9-13 year olds, which gives kids something to do that is well supervised and just for them. Adults and Seniors enjoy skating Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings while most kids are in school. Figure skating is very promi- nent at the Tony Kent Arena on weekdays and Light- house Figure Skating Club of Cape cod has ses- sions on Saturday afternoons. We also offer pro- grams for pre-schools and school field trips. The Tony Kent Learn to Skate program holds an annual spring show and Lighthouse Club holds an annual Christmas show. We invite you to stop in any time and watch these talented skaters in practice. Night and weekends are filled with hockey for all ages. Games are held Saturday and Sunday mornings and the public is welcome any time to watch. D -Y High School hockey games are held on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings from Decem- ber to February. To receive information on any of our programs or to rent ice time or schedule a party, call the arena at 508-760-2415 x202. The Tony Kent Arena is a non-profit corporation under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Ser- vice Code and we rely heavily on fundraising and donations. Most funds such as these are used for capital improvements, although this past year, with the increase of utilities, more fundraising is needed to help defray those costs and keep the fee for ice time at an affordable rate for all users of the arena. The Tony Kent Arena is home ice for the Den- nis -Yarmouth High School and JV hockey teams, the Yarmouth -Dennis Youth Hockey Association and the new Lighthouse Figure Skating Club. The Cape Cod Waves girls' hockey league and their beginner program called Ripples, the Men's League and Jr. High team also call the arena their home, as does Moon's Skate Shop located off the lobby. Birthday parties on ice have become a popular way to cel- ebrate that special day. Carol and Sean McCarthy host parties in the Tony Kent Cafe where the food is excellent and you can be sure that the snack bar will be open to serve you when you attend an event or just stop in for a visit. Tony Kent Arena and Top Shelf Hockey offers a spring league for. mites through Jr. High level and the summer schedule offers weekly hockey camps and clinics, such as the Laura Stamm International Power Skating Camp for two weeks, Pro Ambitions, two weeks of Top Shelf Hockey with Paul Sherbertes and John Danby and Gary Dineen's Camp for one week. We hold Sunday night power skating for Learn to Play Hockey to college levels and we also run an eight week intensive figure skating training camp called the Cape Cod Training and Performance Center, which also produces the "Cape Cod On Ice" Show in the summer. Please take the time to visit the Tony Kent Arena. This is your rink! 262 Respectfully submitted, Tony Kent, Yarmouth Representatives Tony Kent Arena Board of Directors PERSONNEL BOARD The Personnel Board is an advisory board to the Board of Selectmen and the Town Administra- tor. It is comprised of five member-, one of whom is appointed b the Finance Committee. The Board's duties include: 1: Recommending personnel policies, proce- dures and regulations for non-union person- nel; 2. Approving the content and format of all job descriptions subject to collective bargain- ing where applicable; 3. Acting on requests for changes in pay clas- sifications for permanent positions; acting on requests to modify pay rates for seasonal and temporary positions; and 4. Other related duties as assigned by the Board of Selectmen and Town Administra- tor A position classification review is the process by which the Town determines the appropriate pay grade for each permanent Town position or job. The process begins with a review of the job description by the employee(s), the supervisor, the department head, the Assistant Town Administrator and the union, if applicable. The Personnel Board then re- views the content of the job description for clarity and consistency with Town practice and conducts a numerical rating of the position using the Town's position rating manual. Often the employee and a _supervisor maybe present to describe the position and answer any questions the Personnel Board may have. During this year, the Board reviewed seven po- sitions, some of which took multiple meetings to review. The Board reviewed and acted upon re- quests for increases to pay rates for twenty sea- sonal and part-time positions. Also, revisions to two sections of the Personnel Policy Guidelines were reviewed and adopted with amendments by the Board this year. As in prior years, activities were held to recog- nize the efforts and contributions of volunteer com- mittee members as well as employees. For volun- teer committee members, an appreciation break- fast was held at the Senior Center at which each volunteer received a token gift for his/her contribu- tion. An employee award dinner at which individu- als are recognized for their years of service and an ice cream social were held. These programs are in- tended to help maintain the high level of volunteerism the Town continues to benefit from and to renew the dedication of our paid staff. The Per- sonnel Board thanks the volunteers and employ- ees for their continued dedication and service. Ms. Dorothy Guenther moved off -Cape and re- signed her appointment to the Personnel Board this year. We will miss her energy and sense of humor. As this report goes to print, we continue to seek volunteers to fill this vacancy on the Board. 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. Respectfully submitted, 263 Betty -Jane Burkhardt, Chairman and Finance Committee Representative Dorothy Guenther (resigned) Bob Harding Judy Keith Sharon Ladley TOWN SCHOLARSHIP FUND COMMITTEE Since being appointed by the Yarmouth Board of Selectmen In 1993, the Yarmouth Town Scholar- ship Fund Committee has awarded $215,000 in scholarships to 285 Yarmouth residents attending college. In June 2006, we awarded $10,500 in scholar- ships to 18 Yarmouth students. Scholarships are awarded to Yarmouth residents for undergraduate education. Awards are based on academic achievement, financial need, as well as school and community involvement. Funds for these scholarships are provided by yearly donations from Yarmouth taxpayers who are invited via their property tax and water bills to con- tribute to the fund each year, as well as the Frederick Howes Educational Fund, the Ellen Chase Scholar- ship Fund, and the James Knowles Scholarship Fund. The Board of Selectmen is responsible for ap- pointing the five -member Scholarship Fund Com- mittee comprised of the D -Y Superintendent of Schools, a Selectmen Representative and three town residents. 2006 Members of the scholarship committee were Jerry Sullivan, Selectmen Representative; Carol Woodbury, D -Y Superintendent of Schools; Town Residents: John Mincielli, Brenda Martinez, and Sandi Femino, Chairperson. 264 CAPE COD REGIONAL TECHNICAL HIGHSCHOOL DISTRICT Cape Cod Regional Technical High School was established in 1973 as a public technical high school that divides student learning time between aca- demic classes and technical training. For the 2005- 2006 school year we had 723 students enrolled in 18 different technical fields from our 12 sending towns with an operating budget of $10,663,682 and over $400,000 in grant funds. At the end of this year, Superintendent/Director Timothy Carroll retired after 31 years of working to make Cape Cod Tech the exemplar of technical education that it is today. William N. Fisher, the Prin- cipal of Cape Cod Tech and a 27 -year veteran ad- ministrator at Cape Cod Tech, was selected to fol- low Mr. Carroll as the new Superintendent and Mr. Leonard Phelan, former Assistant Principal at Den- nis -Yarmouth Regional High School, was appointed as the new Principal to the Principal's position va- cated by Mr. Fisher. Cape Cod Tech has been able to make signifi- cant progress in raising student performance on the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assess- ment System) and our school again met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) with the 2006 MCAS exam. In 2006, 62% of our students scored Advanced or Proficient in English, compared to 56% in 2005 and 68% of our students scored Advanced or Proficient in Math, compared to 55% in 2005. Our technical shops aligned their curricula to meet the standards of the Massachusetts Technical Frameworks. Our Renewable Energy program has been sup- ported by two grants, one from the National Sci- ence Foundation in coordination with Cape Cod Community College and one from the Cape Cod Economic Development Corporation. These grants and our relationship with the College have provided for training in renewable energy such as solar and wind power and enabled us to purchase the neces- sary hardware such as solar panels, a wind turbine, and bio -diesel fuel system. We have also been able to purchase a wind turbine data logger which is connected to the new wind turbine and an Internet server system. In addition to our renewable energy program, the Cape Cod Tech School Committee has approved the lease/purchase of the first tri -gen- eration system for energy savings in a public facility in this country. This system, once it is in place, will reduce our electric energy consumption by more than 40% and our heating costs by 25-30% each year. This new concept demonstrates Cape Cod Tech's commitment to reducing annual energy con- sumption and that we are doing everything we can to reduce our energy costs. The Plumbing program has received a solar thermal system and we have purchased electrical circuits for hands-on activities in physics, principles of technology, and environ- mentaVearth science classes. We have developed our curriculum to articulate with Tech Prep agree- ments with Cape Cod Community College. Our Adult Education program has been ex- panded this year and we have added an excellent part-time coordinator, Ron Broman, who has made a tremendous impact on the quality and quantity in the courses we offer. For FY '06 of the 46 courses we offered, we ran a total of 40 courses with ap- proximately 457 adults participating during the Fall of 2005 and Spring of 2006. This year 25 seniors of the class of 2007 re- ceived John and Abigail Adams scholarships, we improved our attendance to 94.6%, we increased our student retention and had 44 students partici- pate in our Cooperative Education program. The class of 2006 saw 72 of our graduates go out to work, 26 graduates go on to further education, and 2 graduates join the military. Cape Cod Tech has earned the distinction of being one of the first four schools in the nation and the only technical school, to achieve national certi- fication of our school's Senior Project. Graduating seniors who successfully complete their projects have a Senior Project Certification seal on their tran- scripts identifying students as having met a very rigorous national standard. SkiIIsUSA is a national organization serving stu- dents enrolled in technical programs. This year our students brought home 8 gold, 11 silver, and 7 bronze medals in the district competition, 4 gold, 4 silver, and 2 bronze in the state competition, and in the national competition, we brought home 1 silver in Dental Assisting and 1 bronze in Marine Technol- ogy. Cape Cod Tech provides money saving projects for our district and community and these projects not only save thousands of dollars, but also pro- 265 vide our students with real life work experience in a supervised setting. For the 2005-2006 school year, the total estimated value of the savings to our send- ing towns from work completed by Cape Tech's technical shops was in excess of $650,000. We have included for you here some of the high- lights of the work our Cape Cod Tech students per- formed over this past year. At Bray Farm the Cape Cod Tech students replaced all of the trim on the farmhouse, removed a chimney, repaired the roof, and installed new louvers while our electrical stu- dents worked on six different Habitat for Humanity 266 houses. Our Horticulture students worked on the Capabilities Hydroponics Farm located in Dennis removing and trimming trees and shrubs. Respectfully submitted, Evelyn Hayes John H.

Analyze and utilize student data to plan in- struction to meet the learning needs and increase student achievement for all stu- dents. 2. Improve student achievement by strength- ening the effectiveness of educators and leaders. 3. Develop and implement plans to decrease the district dropout rate to state average or below by 2009. 4. Maintain safe, clean, healthy, and education- ally sound school facilities. 5. Build partnerships to extend and improve communication, understanding, support, and engagement in education. The Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District consists of four elementary schools, three in Yarmouth and one in Dennis, two middle schools, one in Yarmouth and one in Dennis, and the Re- gional High School. We are a district blessed with many dedicated individuals from administrators to teachers and aides, nurses, psychologists, secre- taries, bus drivers and the many individuals who care for our buildings and grounds. Our common goal to not only educate but to help maintain the safety and well being of our students is one not taken lightly. It is a goal that we share with our students' par- ents, grandparents and families. The district enjoys many active volunteers that include both family and community members. There are many programs throughout the district promoting student validation and involvement as productive citizens of both the towns of Dennis and Yarmouth. Programs such as police and fire safety, the Grandparents' breakfast; one to one student to adult mentoring, The Lunch Bunch, and nursing home visits to school concerts provide a bridge from the school community to the community at large. Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District ex- penses remain substantial but well below both state and surrounding communities' per pupil expendi- tures. Federal and State mandates placed on the schools are extensive and expensive while funding at both the Federal and State level is insufficient and inequitable. The School Committee actively lob- bies for more equitable funding. Members of the School Committee have attended caucuses held at the state house and locally. Renovations at the High School are complete and the district received $21,237,896 in State reim- bursement funds at a ceremony held at the high school on January 10, 2007. The Building Commit- tee chaired ` by Bob Tucker and the Renovations Committee co-chaired by Bob Tucker and Brenda Martinez did an outstanding job keeping the project as close to schedule as possible and below bud- get. Carol Woodbury has proven to be an excellent choice for the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District. Ms. Woodbury and the School Committee continue to work collaboratively to move the Den- nis -Yarmouth Regional School District forward. 268 OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT Carol A. Woodbury, Superintendent of Schools "May he live in interesting times" is a saying that became well-known when Robert Kennedy used it in his 1966 speech in Cape Town, South Africa. Several people have since researched the quote to try to determine its origin. There is some contro- versy as to whether or not it is a Chinese curse as was noted in that 1966 speech. Whether the quote is a curse or even of Chinese origin will be the sub- ject of ongoing study. However, in the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District, 2006 can accurately be described as living in interesting times. The most significant milestone of this year was the support of the towns of Dennis and Yarmouth for their regional school district. Historically, both towns have supported education through some very difficult fiscal times in Massachusetts. During 2006 the leadership of the two towns and the regional school committee worked together to define the funding formula that would ensure the continuation of the regional dis- trict. As a result, the youth in Dennis and Yarmouth will continue to have the opportunity for an excel- lent, well-rounded educational experience through the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District. On behalf of our students, I thank these leaders for find- ing a positive resolution to this challenging issue. You have truly put the students first! The Dennis -Yarmouth educational experience has resulted in sixty-nine seniors (25 percent of the class of 2007) receiving the John and Abigail Adams Scholarship. This makes them eligible to attend any state college or university for 4 -years tuition -free. We continue to offer a wide -array of challenging academic coursework and supports for those who need them. We appreciate the towns' support for the arts. As a result, the district has been able to maintain related arts programs at all levels. The research shows that the arts hold an important place in the overall education of a student in cognitive, creative, and personal competencies. In addition to several of our graduates going on to higher education to pursue careers in art, this support has provided opportunities for students that has led to several notable achievements. The DYRHS Marching Band performed in the St. Patrick's Day parade in Dublin, Ireland in March 2006. The DYRHS Concert Cho- rale participated in the Disney Candlelight Proces- sional at Epcot in November 2006. Student artwork is displayed frequently at various locations in the two towns. If you are interested, please stop by to visit the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School - Polly Hopkins Art Gallery for on-going displays of our students' work. We are working to fully implement the district Wellness Policy approved on August 21, 2006 as required by the No Child Left Behind Act. Our ex- cellent physical education, health and after-school sports programs keep our students busy and healthy. One example of achievement in this area was the 2006-2007 Massachusetts State Championship won by the DYRHS Girls' Cross Country Team. We continue to focus on our at -risk youth. We are pleased to inform you that our dropout rate has declined from 6.3% to 3.8%. With your help, we will continue to address this issue with the goal of reducing it even further. In a report by the Children's Defense Fund, it is estimated that 1 of every 8 school children in the U.S. will not graduate. Clearly, if we do not take action, the impact on society will be devastating. As a school district we take our respon- sibility to our students who come to school shoul- dering a variety of burdens and issues very seri- ously. We thank the citizens of our towns for sup- porting us in this important work. As of October 1, 2006, 3847 students were en- rolled in the regional school district. As in other Cape districts, we are continuing to experience falling enrollment. Typically, enrollment declines are uneven and do not lead to immediate cuts that will result in budgetary gains. However, in June 2006 the buses left the John Simpkins Elementary School for the last time. In an effort to ensure fiscal responsibility during challenging times, the Yarmouth elementary schools were consolidated and redistricted. We thank everyone involved for their patience and hard work during this process. Such a major change was not easy for anyone. As I walk through our schools, now, six months later, l see our children thriving in their new environments. After all, they have the most important person at school with them—their teacher! Reaching substantial completion on the DYRHS renovation project in August 2006 allowed us to open school on time and without portable class - .269 rooms. Those of you involved from the beginning know deeply of the challenges faced on a project of this magnitude. My heartfelt thanks to those mem- bers of the various committees who, over time, par- ticipated in getting the job done: Renovations Com- mittee, Building Committee, Boards of Selectmen, Finance Committees, and Regional School Com- mittee. This involved a lot of people. You can be proud of what you have created for the students. On their behalf, I thank you! As the educational leader for the Towns of Den- nis and Yarmouth, I thank you for your confidence and support as I work with all of you to achieve the goals set forth by the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committee. It is my personal goal to create the kind of educational environment you want for your children. I sincerely appreciate the calls, ideas, and suggestions of those who have taken the time to share with me. I may have experienced some interesting times in 2006, but with the assistance of so many knowledgeable, caring people dedicated to children, I have found the last year to be a bless- ing. Thank you and I look forward to the next steps in our journey together. Please visit our website to learn more about the district or the schools at www.dy-regional.kl 2.ma.us. FISCAL AFFAIRS A. Francis Finnell, Director of Fiscal Affairs the towns also agreed to amend the regional agree- ment and establish new guidelines for determining the annual assessment by the District. During 2006, the District and towns continued to address the needs of our school buildings by funding another portion of our long-range plan. Dennis voters approved $200,000 in their capital plan and Yarmouth voters approved debt of $463,000 to support their infrastructures. In July 2005, the District converted to a new financial and personnel software program. There were a number of growing pains as this change was instituted. Within the next year, as we all become proficient in its use, we should realize all the advan- tages of this integrated program. Since this will be my final report to you, I would like to express my appreciation to all of the Dis- trict staff and citizens and officials of Dennis and Yarmouth for your support during the past seven years. You have provided significant improve- ments for the education of Dennis and Yarmouth students. As the calendar year 2006 comes to an end, so does the $33,400,00 renovation project at Dennis- Yarmouth Regional High School. With the guidance of our project manager and architect, the Building Committee is able to deliver an outstanding prod- uct well under the budget approved by the towns. The Massachusetts School Building Authority has already paid a majority of its share of the project costs, significantly reducing the net cost to our towns' taxpayers. These costs were also reduced by $211,600 in FY2007 and will be reduced by $155,359 in FY2008 from the District's earnings on amounts borrowed to fund the construction. The student enrollment in our district schools has declined each year for the past seven years. This was one reason why the School Committee chose to reorganize the elementary schools in Yarmouth and close the John Simpkins Elementary School. The Towns of Dennis and Yarmouth agreed to long-term leases with the School Committee for the remaining elementary and middle schools. Through the passage of articles at town meetings, OFFICE OF INSTRUCTION Gloria E. Lemerise, Director of Learning and Teaching The Office of Instruction is responsible for the planning and coordination of all aspects of student learning. During the 2005-06 school year, the ef- forts of the Curriculum Team Leaders, principals, and other administrators focused on refining the lit- eracy curriculum, developing and analyzing com- mon assessments, drafting a Wellness Policy, and professional development that supported best prac- tices. These efforts provided a variety of additional services and support for students in the areas of academic achievement, literacy instruction and in- tervention, health and safety, and teacher quality. In the area of curriculum development, the Dis- trict worked on the final form of the Integrated Lan- guage Arts Curriculum. District educators had the opportunity to use it and make suggestions through - 270 . 1 out the school year At the high school level, an ex- tensive review of mathematics courses was con- ducted. Information gathered from past and present students and faculty, as well as updated standards at the state and national level, is being used to re- shape our math program. The District continues to look at assessment data to improve instruction for all students. By moni- toring progress regularly, the staff is better able to use intervention strategies before students fall far behind. Common assessments help us examine the achievement of our students in both towns. This process provides a steady check on the similar learning goals as students move through the grades and onto a common high school. MCAS testing has expanded greatly as well. All students from grades 3 to 8 and grade 10 take com- prehensive exams in English Language Arts and Mathematics. These results serve as a measure of progress towards the goal of proficiency. The 2006 results showed there were significant gains in grade 10mathematics with 66 percent of the students scored at proficient and advanced levels. With the changing demographics of Dennis and Yarmouth, the teacher's "toolbox" must have a va- riety of instructional strategies and clear understand- ing of learning styles. Professional development is offered throughout the year. Educators participated in numerous post -graduate content classes and increased their knowledge and use of technology- based tools such as interactive whiteboards and handheld devices. Staff members have enrolled in sheltered English immersion workshops to learn how to meet the learning needs of English Language Learners. The implementation of Responsive Class- room strategies, promoting a positive learning en- vironment, and proactive discipline, continued to expand. The number of full day kindergarten sections grew as well. This expanded learning opportunity. has been quite positive. The challenge of the next year is to make this choice available for all students free of charge. Grants and other funding mecha- nisms are being pursued. SPECIAL SERVICES Judith D. Dion, Director of Special Services The Department of Special Services provides for the instruction of students in special education, Title 1, English Language Learners, and those who qualify under the McKinney-Vento Homeless As- sistance Act. Health, social services, and related services such as speech, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and vision are also available. Currently, there are six hundred thirty-nine (639) students ages 3 -22 receiving special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Im- provement Act (IDEA) of 2004. Based on our total school population we are slightly above the Mas- sachusetts state average of 16.34% at 16.6%. The district provides a continuum of services, which begins with the least restrictive environment with an inclusion model in the classroom to residential programs for students based on individualized needs. Our Early Education Program serves children with special needs and those meeting state criteria from three to five years old. Presently, there are forty- five (45) preschool students with special needs and 52 typical children in this program. Dennis -Yarmouth continues to be the lead agency for the state funded Community Partner- 271 ship for Children, and grant funds make it possible to conduct screenings, consult with parents and caregivers, and provide training for other child care providers in both communities. A new program for young children on the au- tism spectrum began this year at the Ezra H. Baker School. Also new this year, an intervention teacher supports children and staff in addressing behaviors that interfere with learning at all of the elementary schools. Parent support is available through consultants and our social workers. Title 1 services moved from school -wide in FY06 to targeted assistance this year Two hundred sixty- five students (265) receive supplemental services in reading and mathematics in grades one through five. Our, English Language Learner population is expanding as well. There are two hundred and two children (202) from sixteen different countries re- quiring services. Our coordinator has teamed up with Barnstable to co -lead classes to train teachers in both districts and Nauset to work effectively with these students. The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act is a Federal mandate to protect students who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence including shelters and transitional housing. This stat- ute allows students to continue to attend either their home school or the school in the community they are residing. Dennis -Yarmouth is responsible for the expense of transporting the students, ensuring the immediate enrollment of the students and provid- ing access to nutrition programs. Social Workers in each of our schools coordi- nate services under McKinney-Vento for the stu- dents and their families. They have also established a community coalition of other social service agency representatives and interested community members to assist these families. Over these past six months, I have observed the dedication and professionalism of the staff in the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District. We will continue to work together and learn together to meet the needs of all students. DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Kenneth T. Jenks, Principal 1 would like to begin my annual report by again thanking the voters of Dennis and Yarmouth for their generous support of the thirty-three point four mil- lion dollar high school renovations project. A certifi- cate of substantial completion was issued in Au- gust of 2006 and the upgraded facility provides in- creased educational opportunities for all of our stu- dents. This project allows us to better prepare our students for their futures. The high school's October 2006 enrollment was 1112 students. The graduating class of 2006 illus- trates the strength of the high school program. Sev- enty-six percent of the class of 2006 planned to attend college: forty-nine percent planned to attend a four year college or university and twenty-seven percent planned to attend a two year college. Many students in the class of 2006 pursued other oppor- tunities: two percent planned to go to a technical school, sixteen percent planned to enter the workforce, four percent planned to join the armed services and the remainder were undecided about their future plans. The students in the class of 2006 collectively received over $180,000 in scholarships and awards. Our students and staff appreciate the many generous individuals, organizations and busi- nesses that provided this vital financial support for our students. The high school's faculty and staff are commit- ted to "Empowering Each Student to Achieve Ex- cellence with Integrity in a Changing World." D -Y continues to stress an academic core of English, foreign language, math, science, and social stud- ies. We offer a wide range of courses and programs to our students. We maintain a full complement of Advanced Placement and honors level courses for those students who seek the most rigorous aca- demic challenges. We value a well-rounded program for all of our students, consequently, our gradua- tion requirements call for students to complete course work in our elective areas: art, computers and technology, health and physical education, and music. We support career oriented options includ- ing work based learning and internships with local businesses. Our students can earn college credit through the Tech Prep program that we operate in conjunction with Cape Cod Community College. D- Y students can also pursue alternative paths to graduation through participation in our day and evening alternative learning programs. D -Y's faculty, staff and students have enjoyed a successful year. We continue to meet the state's Adequate Yearly Progress goals for MCAS. The dropout rate is down. Our co -curricular programs provide numerous opportunities for our students. The music program placed among the top schools during many band and color guard competitions. Art students have been recognized for their talents and many students have seen their work published. Student government and our service groups have donated hundreds of hours and thousands of dol- lars to charities and our communities. Our athletes have set new records; teams have enjoyed winning seasons and made the tournaments, and the Girls Cross Country team won the state championship. D -Y teachers have worked hard, been awarded grants and have received honors. We know a large part of our success comes from the support of our communities. We are thank- ful 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. 272 MA1TACHEESE MIDDLE SCHOOL Emily Mezzetti, Principal It is with a continued sense of pride that I sub- mit to you the annual report for Mattacheese Middle School on behalf of our faculty, staff, parents, and students. We continue to embrace a mission of suc- cess for all students, based upon a comprehensive education that includes instruction of a well aligned academic curriculum, continued exposure to expe- riences in the arts, and a wealth of opportunities for involvement in a plethora of co -curricular experi- ences offered by our faculty. This year, one of our goals was to increase op- portunities for parent involvement. Our, School Council met monthly to chart the course for our ongoing success. The Parent-Teacher Organization expanded, embracing new members. The PTO fi- nancially supports enrichment opportunities and volunteers their time to host social activities for our students. A parent volunteer coordinated our Des- tination Imagination Teams, allowing our students the chance to participate in a regional competition. Our continued emphasis on enrichment opportuni- ties for our students would not be possible without parental involvement, and we thank the parents who so generously shared their time with us. The Massachusetts Department of Education continued to label Mattacheese as a "School In Need of Improvement." Originally the designation was based on our student attendance and the math MCAS scores of our eighth grade low income and special education students. We are pleased to share that our 2005-2006 attendance percentages improved, and we have surpassed the state's guidelines in all groups. We have kept in place the initiatives that helped us to enhance our students' rate of attendance. Our eighth grade math scores also improved in all categories, however the increased scores do not yet meet the state's threshold. Our administrators and teachers collaborated to analyze our test re- sults and improve our curriculum, instruction, and assessment. We also developed and implemented three new initiatives this year: an enrichment pilot to supplement instruction twice weekly for all our eighth grade students, small group tutoring for stu- dents who scored in the "warning" category, and an accelerated opportunity for our students who scored "advanced" on their seventh grade math MCAS. We look forward to the positive impact these initiatives will have on our students' math skill de- velopment and consequently, our next MCAS scores. As professionals, we know the importance of helping our students develop excellent study hab- its as well as maximizing theirinvolvement in school activities. We continued to offer a wide array of af- ter school programs, clubs, performance en- sembles, and athletic teams for our students. New activities this year included a falVwinter musical pro- duction, a golf program, a cross-country team, and a group of students working together to build a so- lar powered car to be entered into a competition. The faculty continued to dedicate themselves pro- fessionally to enriching our students. There is a very important group of staff mem- bers who give tremendous effort daily to our school community. The school would not operate at the wonderful level we have all come to enjoy without them. Our special thanks goes to our secretaries, custodians, teaching assistants, English-language learners' staff members, cafeteria employees, and Officer Coughlan, our Yarmouth Police Department's School Resource Officer. They are integral to our school, and we respect and appreciate their dedi- cation. On behalf of all of us at Mattacheese, we thank the staff of our district's administration office, and the district maintenance and grounds departments. We are grateful for the encouragement we received from our school committee members and other elected officials of our town. Most importantly, we thank our students and parents for their ongoing support of our school. 273 NATHANIEL H. WIXON MIDDLE SCHOOL Lisa A. McMahon and Sharon L. Hartley, Co -Principals Nathaniel H. Wixon Middle School continues to make steady progress through the collaborative ef- forts of students, parents, community members, teachers and staff. When our school doors opened in September, we welcomed 540 students in grades four through eight. Wixon Middle School provides a rigorous aca- demic program and a student -centered social cur- riculum. Students explore and gain skills in reading and writing, mathematics, social studies, science, art, music, physical education, health, and technol- ogy. Students in grades 6-8 choose a foreign lan- guage, Spanish or French. Students in grades five through eight may also choose to participate in our strong instrumental music, chorus, and strings pro- grams. Wixon students have a wide range of after school programs to choose from including after school academic support provided by Wixon staff; enrichment opportunities through programs such as Great Books, Destination ImagiNation, Math Club, and a variety of seasonal activities and inter- scholastic athletics. Our teachers value continuous learning and regularly engage in professional development in the form of coursework and workshops. During the year, NHW staff expanded their knowledge and skills in many areas including a focus on differentiated in- struction through grade level team meetings. Staff members work together in a mode of continuous improvement to ensure the best learning experi- ences for our students. Wixon Middle School appreciates strong sup- port from the school community and from our sur- rounding business community. The NHW School Council provides guidance and initiative to improve our school. The council membership includes the school principals, Lisa McMahon and Sharon Hartley, teacher representatives, Karen Purcell, Linda Shrake, and Kim Sullivan; parent representatives, Cindy Cabot, Francine Long, Tish Murphy and Denise Wilfong; and, community member Elaine Singer. The Parent Teacher Advisory Council sup- ports many educational and enrichment programs including the after school activity program, field trips for all students, and cultural enrichment presenta- tions. We are grateful to the PTAC members and their officers: Francine Long, President; Carla Torres, Secretary; and, Terry Bunce, Treasurer. We deeply appreciate the support and service of the D -Y school system and Dennis officials including the Dennis Police Department and Fire Department. This year NHW students and staff were recog- nized for their community service and their accom- plishments. NHW students made significant contri- butions to others through many programs includ- ing the Andrea Holden Road Race, the Mittens and More Program, the Dress a Living Doll Program, and the food drive. HOPE students were honored by the Cape to Cape Partnership for their donation. In addition, NHW students were honored for their con- tributions to local writing contests and community service projects. Three NHW teachers, Maureen Anderson, Colleen Eldredge, and Jennifer DeMango, received mini -grant awards from the Cape Cod Five Charitable Foundation to support special projects. Our students also achieved high honors through the Destination ImagiNation (DI) Program during the 2005-06 school year. Destination ImagiNation, the world's largest creativity and problem solving orga- nization, inspires students to learn the process, art, and skill associated with problem solving. At the end of each year, DI teams compete at regional, state and Global final levels. This year the NHW 8th grade team, coached by Mrs. Fratus, took first place at the regional and state levels and went on to the Global Finals in Knoxville, Tennessee. At the Global Finals, our team finished seventh out of 72 teams and was awarded the Divinci Code Award for Out- standing Creativity. All NHW DI teams distinguished themselves this year in regional and state competition. Our fifth grade team, coached by Mr. Amautt and Mrs. Wood, took first place in regional competition, fifth in the states, and received the Divinci Code Award for Outstanding Creativity. We are grateful to the entire coaching staff including Mrs. Mackey, Mrs. Long, and Mr. Lynch and very proud of the Wixon DI students! Two teachers, Maureen Radley and William Holden, retired in 2006 after many years of dedi- cated service to the children of Dennis. We wish them well in this new chapter of their lives. As always, we thank the good citizens of Den- nis for their continued support and commitment to our school and our students. 274 EZRA H. BAKER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Kevin Depin, Principal It is with great pride that I submit this report on the progress at the Ezra H. Baker School. This year, when we opened our doors in September, we greeted 411 students in grades kindergarten through three. We offer an integrated early childhood pro- gram for an additional 20 three and four year olds in our town. Our school is home to the Special Edu- cation Alternative Learning Site (SEALS) Program. This program is designed to educate young chil- dren with significant health challenges. This year we welcomed the Special Early Education/Kindergar- ten (SPEEK) Program. This program provides a pre- school and kindergarten experience for children di- agnosed with autism. Our daycare has expanded to include children up through fifth grade, and has nearly ninety children enrolled in either before or after school care. In the spring of 2006, three very dedicated and long-term staff members, Mrs. Felicia Barney, Mrs. Ginni Dunne, and Miss Sandra Norton each decided to retire after more than thirty years of service to the children of our town. In the fall they were joined by a fourth, Mrs. Lindy Johnson. Each of these women added tremendously to the fabric of our school community. Their professional expertise, their love of children, and their dedication will certainly be missed. Our students continue to grow in academic and social areas. This year, we enrolled 80 students in our full day kindergarten program. In this program, families pay tuition for the second half of the kin- dergarten day. In the past year, we have increased our use of student assessments in all academic ar- eas to help extend student understanding of major concepts. Last spring, we introduced the Morley Award at our third grade end of the year ceremony, to honor and remember the memory of former prin- cipal, Walter S. Morley. Each of our third graders writes an essay about his/her memories of our school. The award recipient is chosen on the merit of his or her essay, and receives a leather bound dictionary, awarded by the family and friends of Mr. Morley. This tradition seems like a fitting memorial to a man who gave so much to our school. Both the parent community and Dennis com- munity have been supportive of our goals at the Baker School. Last spring, our Parent Teacher Ad- visory Committee (PTAC) met their goal of raising enough money for a new playground. Our new play structure offers more opportunity for play, and is attractive, safe, and accessible for all students. A coalition of parents, school district, community or- ganizations, most notable the Andrea Holden Foun- dation, and private donors combined efforts and resources to make this dream a reality for our school and our students. Last spring, our students partici- pated with other citizens in the Dennis Reads cam- paign sponsored by the Dennis Libraries. We are fortunate to work closely with other departments in our town as well, especially the Police Department, the Fire Department, and the Department of Public Works. Last fall, we began the celebration of the 75th anniversary of our school with a reception for present and former faculty members. We were honored that Mrs. Irene Dummakin, an original faculty member, was able to attend. This event, like others planned throughout this year, has provided the opportunity to remember the rich history of this school and plan for its continued service to the youngest members of our Dennis community. LAWRENCE C. MacARTHUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Peter J. Crowell, Principal It is a great privilege to submit my first Annual Report as principal of Laurence C. MacArthur El- ementary School (LCM). Our October 1, 2006 en- rollment reflected a total of 250 students in Grades K-3. Eight of these students are school choice to LCM from neighboring towns. We have two sec- tions of a tuition -based full day Kindergarten. Eleven of our students attend the half-day Kindergarten program at Station Avenue Elementary School this year. There are three classrooms each in Grades 1, 2, and 3. LCM hosts an Integrated Early Education Program for children aged 3-5 years old with and without special needs. Our daycare program is of- fered to students both before and after the regular school day hours. We are fortunate to now have a computer lab and have moved our library to an im- 275 proved location with the addition of books and materials from Simpkins Elementary School. We continue to maximize use of all spaces possible in our 56 -year-old facility. Since the last annual report, LCM has welcomed several new staff members: Donna Chapman, Eliza- beth Duggan, John French, Justine Filosa-Wills, Pam Hollingsworth, Cheryl Warren, Mary Ormon, Virginia Stewart, Kathy Carpenter, Pam Burke, Allen Hall and Jennifer Alden. In June, LCM said goodbye to Mrs. Carole Eichner, LCM Principal, as she as- sumed the principalship of the M.E. Small Elemen- tary School. Her energy and dedication to LCM is appreciated by all. Our academic and social curriculums provide each child with the opportunity to thrive and learn. The committed LCM staff maintains high expecta- tions and works together to plan instruction to im- prove student achievement. Staff collaborate ana- lyzing assessments, implementing new instructional strategies and identifying areas that need improve- ment. As part of the D -Y School System's commit- ment to building professional learning communities, we designed a schedule that provides common planning time for staff at each grade level once weekly to collaborate and discuss learning and share best practices. Children are recognized for positive behaviors in our Rising Stars program. We hold All School Meetings monthly, which are hosted by vari- ous grade levels. Some of our special events have included the Winter Olympics Celebration last Feb- ruary and Memorial and Veterans' Day programs with local veterans as our guests. Strong support from our parent community as well as the Yarmouth community greatly benefits our school. Our resourceful and enthusiastic Par- ent Teacher Organization led by Rene Pecoraro, Liz Novak, Peggy McNamara and Came Rodricks co- ordinates fundraising events such as the Pizza Night, Book Fair, and Holiday Craft Fair to provide educa- tional and enrichment programs for the school. We welcome a significant number of volunteers weekly from the parent community, elder services, and Dennis Yarmouth Regional High School. The LCM School Council meets monthly and is responsible for setting goals in our School Improvement Plan. Members of our current School Council are Peter Crowell, Barbara Gold, Vicki Copenhaver, Liz Novak, Alyson Taubert, Tatum Stewart. Linda Cornog, Jane Tucker and John French. In addition, we would like to thank the Yarmouth Fire and Police for present- ing important safety programs to the children of our school. The LCM community wishes to thank our elected officials and the good citizens of Yarmouth for helping us to make LCM be a place where ex- cellence begins. JOHN SIMPKINS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL The John Simpkins Elementary School closed its doors on June 30, 2006. The Simpkins School has served the Town of Yarmouth and the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District collectively for seventy-five years. The John Simpkins School exhibited a small school feeling and a strong sense of community. It most recently housed students in grades three through five under the leadership of Principal Jonathan Hirst. Over the years, many of the district's programs resided in the John Simpkins Elementary School. The Simpkins' staff worked in partnership with the staff at the Laurence C. MacArthur School to en- sure a strong academic focus for students from pre- school through grade five. The staff collaboration allowed for developing strategies, which reflected their commitment to academic success for all stu- dents. The Parent Teacher Organization worked with both schools to assist in keeping the lines of com- munication open between the staff and parents at each school. The School Council dedicated its time to developing a long-range School Improvement Plan. On behalf of the many students who attended John Simpkins throughout its seventy-five years of operation, we thank the staff, families, and citizens of Yarmouth for the importance placed on learning from the first day of operation to the last. Many sig- nificant and lasting educational opportunities were provided within the walls of this schoolhouse. 276 MARGUERITE E. SMALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Carole A. Eichner, Principal It is a privilege to submit this annual town report for Marguerite E. Small Elementary School (MES). As a result of the consolidation of Yarmouth Schools that took place this past summer, MES is now the Town -wide 4th/5th grade school blending students and staff from John Simpkins (JSE), Station Avenue (SAE) and MES. Thirty-six percent of our students are from JSE, 32 percent are from SAE, 25 percent are from MES and 7 percent are from other schools. Thirty-seven percent of our staff members formerly worked at MES, while 29 percent came from JSE, 17percent came from SAE and 17percent came from other schools. According to the October 1, 2006 enrollment report, MES has a total of 402 students. We cur- rently have eight sections of 4th grade and ten sec- tions of 5th grade. MES proudly hosts the district's SAIL Program for Developmentally Disabled stu- dents and offers a variety of support services to stu- dents with unique learning styles and needs. The MES school community is highly committed to im- proved student achievement through differentiated instruction and Responsive Classroom © practices. We offer targeted Title I, Special Education, Peer Mediation and a Student Support Program. We have eight Destination Imagination teams this year, thanks to the dedication and support of parent and teacher coaches. MES has a strong art and music program and Student Council. Affordable daycare is offered to our students outside the regular school day hours. Before school daycare is offered on campus and afternoon daycare is available for our students at the two other Yarmouth elementary schools. Through the consolidation process, Principal Randall Wallin transferred to SAE after proudly serv- ing as Principal of MES since 1990. In June 2006, two dedicated teachers retired from MES. Diane Cornwell retired after 27 years of service to the dis- trict. She began her teaching career at E.H. Baker School and started teaching at MES in 1983. Wendy King taught for an impressive 34 years at MES. Thanks to the steadfast efforts of staff and vol- unteers, MES continues to offer our students a va- riety of enrichment activities. We have an active and resourceful Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) led by Janice Matheson. PTO Officers are: Dawn -Marie Flett, Suzanne Menard, Gina Anderson, Linda DelVecchio, Michelle Dunn, Cathy DeSouza, Jacqueline Sullivan and Jen Slovak. All parents are welcome to participate in the monthly PTO meet- ings and activities. MES School Council also meets monthly and develops School Improvement goals, oversees the school budget and makes recommen- dations to improve our school for all children. School Council members are: Carole Eichner, Jen Slovak, Peggy McNamara, Gary Rupnow, Bev Burton, Steve McDonough, Pauline Bartley and Melissa Hudson. Our facilities are well maintained. The roof was repaired last summer and we have a new gym en- trance. Each year, the Yarmouth Fire & Police De- partments provide us with a number of important safety programs. We appreciate all their efforts and the support of the D -Y Regional School Committee and the Town for making Marguerite E. Small El- ementary School the place where "every child is engaged in active learning." STATION AVENUE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Randall W. Wallin, M. Ed., Principal It is with enthusiasm that I submit this Annual Report of the Station Avenue Elementary School. For the past 34 years I have been an educator in the Yarmouth then Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District. Throughout my professional career, I have felt privileged to work with such a fine staff of professionals who are dedicated not only to teach- ing but learning. Through consolidation, the pro- fessional staffs from three schools have joined together and have demonstrated their collected level of commitment to the children of Yarmouth. As you drive by either early in the morning or late at night, it is not unusual to see many cars in the parking lot as the teachers are preparing for their students. As of October 1, 2006, our enrollment reflected 448 students. The individual breakdown was as fol- lows: Kindergarten 128; Grade one 96; Grade two 109; Grade three 115. For the third year we applied for and received the Bay State/John Silber Early Reading Initiative Grant. This grant has again assisted in changing 277 and improving our reading program. As a result of this grant, we have added a scientifically based read- ing anthology published by the Houghton -Mifflin Company. Additionally, we were able to continue our contract with IDEAL Associates to assist with the development of reading interventions. Our on - sight grant coordinator, Dianne O'Connell, has played an intricate roll in developing and facilitating professional development for the faculty in the area of reading instruction. Also, we have introduced the Lexia Reading Intervention Program. This is a com- puter-based program where a student's work is re- viewed independently in order to increase specific deficits in reading skills. The School Improvement Council continues to have a positive presence in our school. would like to thank the following people for their continued dedication in volunteering to serve on this council: Mrs. Nancy Stewart, Mrs. Charlene Carey, Mrs. Pat MacArthur, Mrs. Laurie Simonian, Mrs. Jennifer Slovak, Mrs. Christine Carey and Mrs. Susan Colgan. At the heart of our school is Station Avenue's Parent Teacher Organization. These dedicated vol- unteers spend countless hours working to make our school and community a better place. Our PTO fundraising supports many enrichment programs that fill a variety of needs in our school. They have sponsored Family Pasta Night, the first Yarmouth Elementary School Holiday Fair, and an Ice Cream Social, all of which are held to foster family unity in our school community. Our PTO is a great way for parents to get involved with our school. We also have many community volunteers that come into our school weekly to help our children become more well rounded individuals. Additionally, I would like to thank Police Chief Peter Carnes and Fire Chief Randall Sherman for their support in presenting safety programs to our students. A special thanks is warranted to Fire Fighter Bob Reardon for being committed to the many safety programs offered to our school through the Yarmouth Fire Department. would like to wish the following teachers a happy and well-deserved retirement: Diane Cornwell, Karen Twarog, Sandy Saben, and Pam Hill. We will miss the level of professionalism and joy of teaching they brought to their classroom each and every day. All of our successes as a school would not be possible without our elected School Committee members who continue to volunteer their time and are dedicated to our educational programs for all of the children of Dennis and Yarmouth. FOOD SERVICE Garth J. Petracca, Food Service Coordinator The Food Service Program adopted and imple- mented the District's School Wellness Policy whereby all meals served to the students are con- forming to strict dietary guidelines. We actually be- gan implementing these changes long before the policy was even adopted to ease the students into the transition. Our program, as well as the district in general, saw an increase in approved free and re- duced lunch applications, which ultimately benefits everyone with additional govemment reimbursements. We remain a department that is financially self-sup- porting and will continue to strive to keep this intact. The Food Service Program served an average of 2425 meals per day with an average yearly par- ticipation rate of 73 percent. Nearly 61 percent of the student population is participating in this pro- gram and 38 percent of these participants are ap- proved for free or reduced lunch. It is vital, not only to the food service program but the entire school system in general, that everyone who thinks they might qualify for free or reduced meals complete and submit an application. Payroll made up 53 percent of the food service budget for the fiscal year 2006 while food purchases accounted for 46 percent. The remaining 1 percent of the expenditures is made up of office supplies, gov- emment commodities, and equipment maintenance. The Food Service Program is committed to con- tinuing the practice of reimbursing the general fund for a portion of its benefit program cost by transfer- ring $50,000.00 yearly to this fund. All of us who work in the Food Service Program have a strong commitment to the students of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District. We want them to be excited about what they eat, healthy because they participate in the program, and com- pletely satisfied with their eating experience. We encourage student and parent involvement in the program and welcome comments and sugges- tions. 278 TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT The Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District Technology Department provides services to all schools and the Central Office. We were happy to welcome Ross Bryant to our staff this year as our new technician. He and John Tiedeman maintain our 1500 plus computers and peripherals. In addi- tion, they were kept busy with the high school reno- vation project and the closure of the John Simpkins Elementary School. Almost every computer in the highschool had to be moved and re -configured and all of the Simpkins' machines were inventoried, re- formatted and re -deployed to our other elementary schools along with printers, AlphaSmarts and other peripherals. Administrative assistant Jan Daniels' responsibilities include maintaining the computer inventory, software and peripherals, purchasing and data processing supplies, as well as managing the work order system. Jan volunteers her time to the district re -cycling cell phones and ink cartridges. Chris Machado, Network Technology Coordinator, ensures that all our Wide Area Network is kept up and running and the Internet and E-mail are acces- sible. Mr. Machado also configures and negotiates all hardware purchases, works with school admin- istrative assistants to maintain the integrity of our SIMS data, and maintains all the district's adminis- trative databases. Lory Stewart's, Coordinator of Instructional Technology, responsibilities include mentoring of teachers in technology integration into the curriculum, keeping current on the new trends in educational technology, district -wide professional development for all staff, working with administra- tors and staff on MCAS data analysis, grant writing, E -Rate filing, new teacher orientation on the use of. our network, filing the District Technology Plan with the Massachusetts Department of Education, and maintaining and updating the district's website (http://www.dy-regional.k12.ma.us/dyrds/ index.htm). The DYRSD Technology Department worked closely with the DYRHS Building Committee to en- sure the renovation project included the most up to date technology for use by students and staff. The district subscribed to a service that enables students and parents to login and view student grades, attendance and assignments. This subscrip- tion was 57 percent funded by E -Rate. The district implemented new student administrative software for Grades 6-12. The new software allows us to now have a completely electronic report card in those grade levels. As of July 1, 2005, the district is also using a completely web -based accounting and hu- man resource system. We continued to encourage teachers to inte- grate technology into their curriculum and have a technology related goal during evaluation years. Professional development was offered to staff throughout the school year as well as graduate courses on technology integration during both sum- mers of 2005 and 2006. The upgrade to a 100 Base T network was com- pleted during the 2005 2006 school year. This in- cluded the completion of the installation of new servers in all of our buildings. With grant funds, one hundred handhelds com- puters were purchased. Forty of the handhelds were distributed to middle school teachers along with training in their use. Each middle school has a set of thirty to use in classrooms. A module for the new report card software was purchased so the teach- ers can use the handhelds for grading purposes. We continued the purchasing of interactive whiteboards and supporting software; most have been purchased with alternative funding. Currently all of our schools have websites. Most offer online homework help for students, school calendars, newsletters and various resources for staff, student and parents. In all of the schools, the person who maintains the individual school's website does so voluntarily. The DYRSD Technology Department strives to meet the needs of the student, staff and adminis- tration. We look forward to serving the district in the coming year. 279 DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE on some of the mechanical equipment, and this will help find and correct both current and future prob- lems with those systems. Numerous comments from the public have been received regarding how well the project turned out. This committee feels that, given our resources, the school district and towns were given the best pos- sible finished product. We encourage you to stop by and see what the renovations project has done for the educational environment at the high school. D -Y is now capable of meeting the needs of the district for years to come. The renovation project at Dennis -Yarmouth Re- gional High School is nearing completion. Major construction in allphases is completed and the punch list is being reduced in size. As the year ends, I am proud to report a close out agreement with our contractor, Alexandra, has almost been reached. The project finished under budget and only four months behind schedule. It is very gratifying to submit this status report. This kind of Success with municipal projects is not very com- mon. This committee was fortunate to have the right combination of people on the renovations team. The Administration, Architect, Building Committee, Gen- eral Contractor, and Project Manager have all worked together effectively for our communities to complete this project. The staff, faculty, and student body at D -Y have been very understanding of the disruptions through- out the past three years. They have also been a Targe part of our success. In addition, with the support of both towns, some of the initially deleted items were reinstated in the project. We have also done a commissioning project Respectfully submitted, Robert Tucker, Chairman Jay O'Leary, Vice Chair Bernie Young Mal Hughes Ed Kling Robert Harding Tom Broderick Jim Dykeman, Jr. Phillip Morris 280 DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL Employees and Salaries Paid in 2006 Last Name First Name Middle Position Salary Other Wages Adair Courtney S Assistant $15,505.02 $5,894.63 Adams Alison J Teacher $18,891.00 $3,663.98 Adams Mary E Assistant $19,863.57. $2,008.40.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the District'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 principles 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, based on our audit, 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 District as of June 30, 2006, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated September 11, 2006 on our consideration of the District's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. 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 on 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. The management's discussion and analysis on pages 3 through 10 and the schedule of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances - budgetary basis - general fund on pages 37 through 38 are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquires of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it. 307 DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the District's basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, local Governments, and Non -Profit Organizations, and is also not a required part of the basic financial statements of the Dennis -Yarmouth School District. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. September 11, 2006 308 DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT Management's Discussion and Analysis Year Ended June 30, 2006 The discussion and analysis of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District's (District) financial statements provides an overall review of. the District's financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. The intent of this discussion and analysis is to look at the District's financial performance as a whole; readers should also review the notes to the basic financial statements and the financial statements to enhance their understanding of the District's financial performance. Financial Highlights Key financial highlights for 2006 are as follows: • General revenues accounted for $32,756,424 in revenue or 60.6% of all revenues. Program specific revenues in the form of charges for services, operating grants and contributions accounted for $21,305,621 or 39.4% of total revenues of $54,062,045. • The District had $54,352,536 in expenses; $21,305,621 of these expenses were offset by program specific charges for services, grants and contributions. General revenues (primarily member assessments and state aid) were adequate to provide for the remaining expenses. • Among the major funds, the General Fund had $47,082,097 in revenues and $47,500,432 in expenditures. The General Fund's fund equity balance decreased $285,064 over 2005. Town assessments of $32,138,277 were the major portion of general fund revenue. Comparisons to the prior year are as follows: • General revenues increased over the prior year by $456,333 or 1.4% primarily due to increased earnings on investments of $136,240 and Town Assessments of $301,314. Overview of the Financial Statements This annual report consists of five parts: (1) management's discussion and analysis (this section), (2) the basic financial statements, (3) the required supplementary information, (4) supplementary information and (5) the single audit reports. The basic financial statement include two kinds of statements that present different views of the District: • The first two statements are district -wide financial statements that provide both short-term and long- term information about the District's overall financial status. • The remaining statements are fund financial statements that focus on individual parts of the District, reporting the District's operations in more detail than the district -wide statements. • The governmental funds statements tell how basic services like regular and special education were financed in the short term as well as what remains for future spending. 309 DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued) Year Ended June 30, 2006 • Proprietary fund statements consist of internal service funds which are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate the costs internally among the District's various functions such as workers' compensation. _ The services provided by the internal service fund predominately benefit the governmental rather than the business -type functions. This fund has been included within governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. • Fiduciary fund statements provide information about the financial relationships in which the District acts solely as a trustee or agent for the benefit of others. The financial statements also include notes that explain some of the information in the statements and provide more detailed data. The statements are followed by a section of required supplementary information that further explains and supports the financial statements with a comparison on the District's budget for the year. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain supplementary information combining non -major governmental funds.

The remainder of this overview section of management's discussion and analysis highlights the structure and content of each of the statements. District -wide Statements The district -wide statements report information about the District as a whole using accounting methods similar to those used by private -sector companies. The statement of net assets includes all of the District's assets and liabilities. All of the current year's revenues and expenses are accounted for in the statement of activities regardless of when cash is received or paid. The two district -wide statements report the District's net assets and how they have changed. One way to measure the District's financial health or position is the difference between the District's assets and liabilities (i.e., net assets). Over time, increases or decreases in the District's net assets are an indicator of whether its financial position is improving or deteriorating, respectively. • To assess the overall health of the District, additional non-financial factors should be considered such as changes in the District's assessment base and the condition of the school buildings. In the district -wide financial statements, all the District's activities are reported as governmental activities. Town assessments and federal and state aid finance most of these activities. Fund Financial Statements The fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the District's funds, focusing on its most significant or "major" funds — not the District as a whole. Funds are accounting devices the District uses to keep track of specific sources of funding and spending on particular programs: Some funds are required by State law and by bond covenants. • The District establishes other funds to control and manage money for particular purposes (like repaying its long-term debts) or to show it is properly using certain revenues (like federal and state grants) The District is reporting all fund types: • Governmental Funds— All of the District's services except those accounted for in other funds are included in governmental funds, which generally focus on (1) how cash and other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash flow in and out, and (2) the balances left at year-end that are available for spending. Consequently, the governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view that helps determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the District's programs. Because this information does not encompass the additional long-term focus in the district -wide statements, additional information is provided with the governmental funds statements that explain the relationship or difference between them. 311 DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued) Year Ended June 30, 2006 Proprietary Funds - All of the District's internal services, such as workers' compensation, is accounted for in the proprietary fund. This fund uses the same measurement focus as the ones used in the government -wide financial statements. However, these statements provide more detail and additional information, such as the cash flow statement. Fiduciary Funds - The District's fiduciary funds are comprised of agency funds and private purpose funds which consist of scholarship funds. Fiduciary funds are excluded from the government -wide financial statements because the District cannot use these assets to finance its' operations. Financial Analysis of the District as a whole As noted earlier, the net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a District's financial position. At the close of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the District's assets exceeded liabilities by $12,214,163 and $12,232,134, respectively (restated).

The District uses these capital assets to provide services to students; consequently these assets are not available for future spending. Although the District's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. The negative balance of unrestricted net assets is due to debt for improvements on assets not owned by the District. The total net assets of the District decreased by $17,971 during the current fiscal year. The total net assets of the District increased by $2,887,828 in 2005. These increases and decreases were primarily due to the results of operations in the general fund. (i.e., the payment of long term liabilities).

Governmental funds. The focus of the District's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the District's financial requirements. The unreserved fund balance is divided between designated balance and undesignated balances. General fund. The general fund is the chief operating fund of the District. At the end of 2005, unreserved and undesignated fund balance was $1,835,521 while the total fund balance was $3,214,769. The total fund balance increased $916,567 during 2005. At the end of 2006, unreserved and undesignated fund balance was $1,461,268 while the total fund balance was $2,929,705. The total fund balance decreased $285,064 during 2006. Expenditures for general District purposes totaled $54,352,536 and $49,766,518 for 2005. The increase is primarily due to increases in instructional, other school services and fixed charges. Capital Projects. The High School Renovation project was considered a major program and has a total fund deficit of $21,557,817 for 2006 and $20,720,568 for 2005. This fund deficit is a result of the expenses for renovations of the school building which is funded with short-term bond anticipation notes. General Fund Budgetary Highlights While the District adopted a balanced budget for the general fund, the actual results for 2006 showed a surplus of $1,037,351 and a surplus of $1,395,792 for 2005. Actual revenues were $1,028,019 more than expected for 2006 and $870,542 more than expected for 2005. The 2006 favorable variance was due to $171,052 of more revenues received than anticipated of Chapter 70 General School Aid, $337,120 favorable variance in Regular Day Transportation Aid, $73,386 favorable variance in other revenues and $430,748 more received than budgeted of investment income. The 2005 favorable variance was due to $368,348 of more revenues received than anticipated of Chapter 70 General School Aid, $320,511 favorable variance in Regular Day Transportation Aid, $319,508 more received than budgeted of investment income and $154,714 unfavorable variance in other revenues. Actual expenditures were $150,061 lower than expected in 2006 and $581,900 lower than expected in 2005, due primarily to the strict control of discretionary expenses. D Other financing sources and uses of $140,729 were under budget. $100,729 of costs were transferred to the Internal Service Fund to cover the workers comp deficit and $40,000 of sources were budgeted from daycare but were not transferred to the General Fund. Capital Assets and Debt Administration Capital Assets. By the end of the fiscal year the District has invested in a broad range of capital assets, including school buildings, administration building, library books and textbooks, vehicles, computer and audiovisual equipment used in all of the buildings throughout the District. Total depreciation expense for 2006 and 2005 was $ 814,050 and $686,780 respectively. (See Note 5 page 31) Debt Administration. The District has general obligation bonds outstanding in the amount of $10,610,000 and bond anticipation notes outstanding of $22,908,440 with a payment schedule through 2026. (See Notes 8 and 9 pages 32 and 33) 316 DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued) Year Ended June 30, 2006 Economic Factors Bearing on the District's Future During 2006, construction was nearly complete on the $33,400,000 renovation project at the High School. Since the low bid received was well below the amount budgeted for construction and there are adequate contingencies budgeted, we anticipate the project to be completed during fiscal 2007under budget. The School Committee annually updates a Long Range Facilities Plan, outlining various capital needs of the District. Immediate needs are evaluated by the towns and presented to voters at the annual town meetings. At their 2006 annual town meeting, Dennis voted to fund $115,000, and at a Special Town Meeting in September 2006 they voted an additional $85,000 for capital needs in its buildings. Yarmouth voted to fund $463,000 for the capital needs of its buildings at their annual town meeting in April 2006. For the past thirty years, the towns have leased school buildings to the District under leases that expired on June 30, 2005. At that time, each of the towns issued a license for the District to use the school buildings through June 30, 2006. During June 2006 the towns and the District agreed to new multi-year leases with options for further renewals. Since the John Simpkins Elementary -School was retired from use as a school building in June 2006, custody and maintenance for this building has reverted to the Town of Yarmouth. In determining assessments for fiscal 2007, the member towns agreed that Yarmouth would assume an additional burden of $256,041 over the amount calculated according to the formula prepared by the Massachusetts Department of Education. This arrangement was in lieu of calculating the assessments according to a formula prepared by the Massachusetts Department of Education. Although a minimal increase in revenue from the state is anticipated in 2007, additional increases are not projected for the future. Any increases in expenditure budgets will have to be funded through increases in assessments to the towns. In anticipation of this economic climate, the District has restricted discretionary spending in order to accumulate unreserved fund balance. This will serve as temporary protection for basic education services, which could suffer as a result of expected significant increases in fixed and mandated costs. The District continues to utilize any opportunity for economy (i.e., through joint purchasing with other municipalities). To reduce future liabilities, there has been a particular focus on health and safety issues, which has the additional benefit of an improved working and learning environment.

Other long-term assets are not available to pay for current -period expenditures and, therefore, are deferred in the funds. In the statement of activities, a reserve for inventories does not exist and, therefore, is an expenditure, whereas in governmental funds a reserve for inventories is recorded. Internal service funds are used by management to account for health insurance and workers' compensation activities. The assets and liabilities of the internal service funds are included in the governmental activities in the Statement of Net Assets. In the statement of activities, interest is accrued on outstanding long-term debt, whereas in governmental funds interest is not reported until due. Long-term liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and, therefore, are not reported in the governmental funds.

However, in the Statement of Activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation in the current period. 10,401,527 In the statement of activities, a reserve for inventories does not exist and, therefore, is an expenditure, whereas in governmental funds a reserve for inventories is recorded. In the Statement of Activities, all governmental transfers are eliminated, whereas in the governmental funds all transfers are reported. As a result, the change in net assets differs from the change in fund balance by the transfers made between governmental funds and proprietary/fiduciary funds. Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial resources are fully deferred in the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances. Therefore, the recognition of revenue for various types of accounts receivable (Le., real estate and personal property, motor vehicle, excise, etc.) differ between the two statements. This amount represents the net change in deferred revenue. The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds and leases) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs, premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the Statement of Activities. This amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items. In the statement of activities, interest is accrued on outstanding long-term debt, whereas in governmental funds interest, is not reported until due. Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities, such as capital leases, do not require the current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in the governmental funds. Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities, such as compensated absences, do not require the current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in the government funds. 3,930 160,729 35,818) 8,296,000) 282,134) 116,884) 74,210 Internal service funds are used by management to account for health insurance and workers' compensation activities.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District (the District), South Yarmouth, Massachusetts, was formed by the towns of Dennis and Yarmouth through an agreement dated June 15, 1954, to build and operate a high school facility to serve the towns. At special town meetings held in Dennis and Yarmouth on February 27, 1975, the voters amended this agreement whereby, beginning July 1, 1975, the District assumed responsibility for operating elementary and middle schools within the towns in addition to the high school. The financial statements of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to local government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant accounting policies of the District are described below. Reporting Entity Primary Government - The District is governed by a seven -member, representative School Committee from its member towns of Dennis and Yarmouth. Component Units — Component units are included in the District's reporting entity if their operational and financial relationships with the school district are significant. No component units are identified for the year ended June 30, 2006, which meet the criteria for inclusion in the accompanying basic financial statements. Joint Ventures — Municipal joint ventures pool resources to share the costs, risks, and rewards of providing services to its participants, the public, or others. The District is a participant in the following joint venture: Name 2006 Purpose Address Assessment Cape Cod Municipal To provide employee Health Group insurance benefits c/o Group Benefits Strategies 27 Midstate Office Park Suite 204 Auburn, MA 01501 $ 1,642,078 Cape Cod Municipal Health Group (the Group) is governed by a representative steering committee. The School District is indirectly liable for debt and other expenditures of the Group and is assessed monthly for its subscribing employees based on premiums determined prior to the start of the fiscal year for each type of policy. Financial statements of the Group may be obtained by contacting the Group at the above address. 329 DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 2006 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The School District is also a participant in the Cape Cod Collaborative and the N.E.E.D. Collaborative. The Cape Cod Collaborative, 5700 LeMay Avenue, Otis ANGB, MA 02542, provides special education services for eligible pupils, pre. kindergarten through grade 12. The N.E.E.D. Collaborative, Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District, 296 Station Avenue, South Yarmouth, MA 02664, provides environmental education for the School district's fifth grades. The payments to the Cape Cod Collaborative and the N.E.E.D. Collaborative were $749,255 and $100,319, respectively, for fiscal 2006. Financial information may be obtained from the collaboratives by contacting them at the above addresses. The School District has no equity in the joint ventures. Government -wide and fund financial statements — The government -wide financial statements (the statement of net assets and the statement of changes in net assets) display information about the primary government (the District). These statements include the financial activities of the overall government, except for fiduciary activities. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double -counting of internal activities. The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each function of the District's governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Depreciation expense for capital assets that can specifically be identified with a function are included in its direct expenses. Depreciation expense for "shared" capital assets (for example, a school building is used primarily for instructional, school administration, operation and maintenance of facilities, and school lunch services) are ratably included in the direct expenses of the appropriate functions. Fixed costs have been included as a function and not allocated for the statement of activities. Interest on general long-term liabilities is considered an indirect expense and is reported in the statement of activities as a separate line. Program revenues include 1) fees and charges paid by students and other recipients of goods or services offered by a given function, and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including member assessments, are presented as general revenues. The fund financial statements provide information about the District's funds, including its fiduciary funds. Separate statements for each fund category (governmental and fiduciary) are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental funds, each displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds. The District reports the following major governmental funds: • The general fund is the District's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. • The capital projects fund accounts for resources accumulated and payments made for the acquisition and improvement of sites, construction and remodeling of facilities, and procurement of equipment necessary for providing education programs for all students within the District. 330 DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 2006 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Additionally, the District reports the following fund types: • The fiduciary funds represent private purpose trust funds and agency funds. Since by definition these assets are being held for the benefit of a third party (other local governments, private parties, etc.) and cannot be used to address activities or obligations of the government, these funds are not incorporated into the government -wide statements. • Internal service funds (proprietary funds) account for workmen's compensation insurance, provided to other funds of the District on a cost -reimbursement basis. • The student activities agency fund (a fiduciary fund) accounts for monies held on behalf of student groups. Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation — The government -wide and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus. The government -wide and fund financial statements are reported using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place. Nonexchange transactions, in which the District receives value without directly giving equal value in exchange, include grants and donations. Revenue from grants and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The District considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within sixty days after year-end. The member assessments and interest are considered to be susceptible to accrual. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when the district receives cash. Expenditures generally are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt, claims and judgments, early retirement and postemployment healthcare benefits and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. General capital asset acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources. Budgetary Data — Budgets are presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting for all governmental funds. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end with the exception of those indicated as a fund balance reserve. The following procedures are used in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements. • During the Spring of each year, the District superintendent submits to the Board a proposed operating budget for the next fiscal year commencing July 1". This budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. Included for comparison is the final budget for the current year ended June 30`". • Copies of the proposed budget are made available for public inspection and review by the any interested party. 331 DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 2006 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) • Once approved by the school committee, the member towns are assessed in accordance with the terms of _ the agreement. The amounts apportioned to each town are certified by the School District treasurer to the treasurers of the towns. Each town appropriates the amounts so certified at the next annual meeting. • Once adopted, the budget cannot be amended without member town approval. However, interim adjustments may be made by transfer of money from one category of appropriation to another within any given fund. • Certain interim adjustments in expenditures during the year ended June 30, 2006, have been included in the final budget, as presented in the financial statements. Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level. Encumbrance accounting is employed in the governmental funds and the internal service funds. Encumbrances (e.g., purchase orders and contracts) outstanding at year end are reported as reservations of fund balances and do not constitute expenditures or liabilities because the commitments will be reappropriated and honored during the subsequent year. Deposits and Investments — The cash balances of substantially all funds are pooled and invested by the District for the purpose of increasing earnings through investment activities and providing efficient management of temporary investments. The pool's investments are reported at fair value at year-end. Changes in the fair value of investments are recorded as investment earnings. Earnings on pooled funds are apportioned and paid or credited to the funds based on the average balance of each participating fund. Cash and Cash Equivalents — The District considers cash and cash equivalents to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Inventories Inventories are valued at cost or, if donated, at fair value when received, using the moving average method. Inventories of governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased. Inventory in the Special Revenue Funds consist of expendable supplies of the Food Service Program. Capital Assets — Capital assets, which include land, building and improvements, and furniture and equipment, are reported in the government -wide financial statements. The District defines capital assets as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of two years. Purchased or constructed capital assets are reported at cost or estimated historical cost. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair value at the date of donation. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets' lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during construction is capitalized. 332 DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 2006 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Buildings and improvements and furniture and equipment of the District are depreciated using the straight- line method over the following estimated useful lives: Assets Years Buildings and improvements - 20-40 Library books and textbooks 3-5 Automobiles 5-10 Machinery and equipment 8-10 Compensated Absences — Under terms of employment agreements, employees earn vacation and sick leave in amounts varying with tenure and classification. The following is a summary of the benefits available: Sick -Leave Benefits Under terms of contracts covering employees of the School District, covered employees are entitled to between 12.5 and 17 days of paid sick leave annually. Unused sick leave may be accumulated indefinitely up to a maximum amount specified in the employee's applicable employment contract. In the event of death, separation, or retirement of an employee having completed ten years of service, such employee or the employee's estate shall be compensated at one of the following rates: Bargaining Unit Sick Leave Buy -Back Rate Dennis -Yarmouth Secretaries and Assistant Hourly rate of pay at time of death, Association retirement, or separation times 25% of unused sick (leave) days times hours worked in a day of up to a maximum accumulation of one hundred and eighty days for school year employees or two hundred days for year-round employees. Dennis -Yarmouth Educators' Association The rate is $35 per day of unused sick leave of up to a maximum accumulation of two hundred days. Dennis -Yarmouth School Administrators' Association 333 13% of the administrator's daily rate at time of death, retirement, or separation, per day of unused sick leave of up to a maximum accumulation of between two hundred and four hundred days. DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 2006 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Bargaining Unit Sick Leave Buy -Back Rate Service Employees' International Union $3.50 per hour of unused sick leave of up to a maximum accumulation of two hundred days. As ofJune 30, 2006, the School District estimated the potential, maximum liability for sick pay to be $1,279,939, which could become payable over future years by the School District. The current portion and long-term liability account in the accompanying balance sheet reflects this amount. All vacation and sick pay is accrued when incurred in the government -wide service fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in the governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements. Long-term Obligations — In the government -wide financial statements long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable statement of net assets. Fund Equity — In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a restricted purpose. Reserved fund balance also includes encumbrances outstanding at year end. In the government -wide financial statements only funds that are legally restricted are deemed "restricted". Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates. 2. School District Assessments Under terms of the agreement, as amended, establishing the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District, the School District's costs are apportioned, and assessments are levied against the towns forming the School District.

Grants The District receives significant financial assistance from federal and state governmental agencies in the form of grants. The disbursement of funds received under these programs generally requires compliance with terms and conditions specified in the grant agreements and is subject to audit by the District's independent auditors and other governmental auditors. Any disallowed claims resulting from such audits could become a liability of the general fund or other applicable fund. Based on prior experience, District administration believes such disallowance, if any, would be immaterial. 14. Risk Management The School District is exposed; to various risks of loss related to general liability, property and casualty, workers' compensation, unemployment, and employee health claims. The School District purchases general liability insurance and insures buildings and property through insurance policies. Losses are insured to the extent the losses exceed the deductibles. The School District provides employee health insurance benefits through participation in the Cape Cod Municipal Health Group. The Group had net assets of $1,642,078 at June 30, 2006. The School District is self-insured for workers' compensation claims. Aggregate stop -loss insurance is carried to cover annual claims in excess of $300,000. The School District has on deposit at June 30, 2006, cash of $108,569 which is available to pay claims. Government Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 10 requires that liabilities for self-insured claims be reported if it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These losses include an estimate of claims that have been incurred but not reported. The School District records it liabilities for claims in an expendable trust fund. The School District established a liability for workers' compensation claims based on estimates of future costs for open claims. Changes in the self-insurance expendable liability account for fiscal 2006 are as follows: Liability at beginning of year $ 77,147 Claims and administrative costs incurred for current year 221,368 Payment for current year ( 189,946) Liability at end of year $ 108.569 342 DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 2006 15.
