Assembly,
commissionersback
atitFeb,19
The growing rift between
the board of county commis-
sioners and the Assembly of
Delegates may widen Feb.
19, when the commissioners
and Finance Director Mark
Zielinski present the proposed
budget for the fiscal year
beginning July 1. The commis-
sioners are holding a special
meeting today [Feb. 14] at 11
a.m. to finalize their take on
the spending plan.
Also on the agenda for the
Assembly meeting at 4 p.m.
Feb. 19 is the Barnstable
County Strategic Plan pre-
pared by the commissioners.
Some Assembly members have
expressed concerns about the
document, which is intended
to guide department heads in
achieving service goals.
The League of Women Vot-
ers of the Cape Cod Area is
endorsing the five-year plan,
though it retains the right to
comment further during imple-
mentation.
Don't miss the preliminary
round at 2:30 p.m., when the
Assembly's charter review
committee will gather for
"further discussion on changes
to the Charter" in the wake
of the full Assembly's recent
razor-thin vote not to pass
along a proposed change to
the voters.

West Barnstable's Ron
Beaty reports signatures to
request votes to withdraw
communities from the Cape
Cod Commission have been
submitted in a number of
towns. Barnstable Town Clerk
Ann Quirk confirmed that
signatures have been turned in;
once certified, they will be pre-
sented to the town council. As
Barnstable's legislative body,
members will decide whether
the question goes on a ballot.
Within the last decade, a
similar effort was stymied in a
very close council vote.

TheNorth Shorecommunityof
Rockport haswon anappeal to the
Federal EmergencyManagement
Agencyto revisenew flood maps,
arguingthat thePacificCoastwave
model used did not account for
the intricacies of Eastern shores.
The state's Congressional del-
egation has called on FEMA
to apply the same standard to
the rest of the commonwealth's
shoreline communities.
"The current FEMA maps
are overly conservative, placing
people inflood zonesinappropri-
ately and costingthem thousands
of dollars,"U.S.Rep.BillKeating
said in a press statement. "The
only responsible thing to do is
to suspend the implementation
of the state's maps until they
are fixed."
