FROM THE TOWN MANAGER Dear Reader:
Spring is in the air and new beginnings are around every corner. The
DPW is starting their annual clean-up activities and economic activity is
blooming all over town. We will look forward to watching things flourish
as the season progresses.
We presented the Capital Improvements Plan to the Town Council on
March 7th and the first public hearing is scheduled for April 4th. We will
be submitting the Operating Budget to the Town Council in May.
Congratulations to the Barnstable Youth Commission on their successful
5th Annual 7th Grade Youth Summit. It is inspiring to see our youth taking a leadership role with such a
challenging and life changing subject.
National Volunteer Week this year is recognized during April 7-13, 2019. This year’s theme is “Volunteers
Making A Difference Every Moment”. On behalf of the Town of Barnstable, I would like to publicly thank
all of those volunteers who give countless hours to serve on our various boards, committees and
commissions. And where would we be without the dedicated volunteers who work with our Recreation
Division’s Beach Sticker/Parking Permit program? Or our Senior Services volunteers who do everything
from greeting visitors at the front desk to driving the Silver Express van and Toyota Camry to helping
prepare taxes during this time of year? Or those volunteers who work assisting our staff with our Shellfish
propagation program? The Barnstable Police Department’s Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) is widely
recognized as an outstanding volunteer program with volunteers serving at the front desk and as couriers
and they are a vital part of the Hyannis Main Street and West Villages Police Substations. Barnstable
Public Schools have hundreds of volunteers on a daily basis. We are truly grateful for all of you who give
back to your community and we hope that you will continue to do so. Thank you for your service!
Happy Spring!
