Fire districts... CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:1 Barnstable. " Only an "objective , inde- pendent , professional and comprehensive evaluation" can answer the central question,the committee de- cided. Members will call for creation of a RFP (Request for Proposals) Committee that would include an of- ficial from each district , town officials, labor lead- ers, and a town employee conversant with drawing up such documents. Any con- sulting firm selected would have to be based outside of the town. Issuing the RFP wouldn't mean that the town has committed to the study, a step which can be taken only by the town council. How to pay for the study was a topic at last Friday's meeting, but Barton said responses to the RFP would have to be the guide in that regard. Whether the town would pay for the whole study, or whether the districts would partici- pate, remains a subject for debate. The committee , which began its work a year ago, included town councilors , fire and rescue personnel at various levels of responsibil- ity, a union member, a pru- dential committee member, a fire district commissioner, two members of the Com- prehensive Financial Advi- sory Committee, and two residents-at-large.

Late-night retail... CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:1 compliance was good, the problem went away. But as compliance slipped , so too did the peace. Initially, Finnegan sought a longer ban , extending to 5 a.m., but in negotiations with town officials drafting the proposal , it was nar- rowed to 3 a.m. The ordinance has an exemption provision , em- powering the town man- ager to issue permits to businesses that can dem- onstrate their operations do not conflict with the intent of the regulation. The exemption requires businesses, to apply, and a public hearing. The two-hour closing has the support of the Hyannis Area Chamber ol Commerce. Assessment center... CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:1 advisory group for the grant suggested that a properly staffed diagnostic center be created. Affiliated for now with Cape Cod Healthcare , the plan is for the center to become self-supporting in afew years. Bilezikian said organizers are looking for buildings near the Hyannis Transportation Center to ensure the center would be accessible to those without cars. "There are huge gaps in ser- vices for children and adoles- cents," Blondet said, adding that the center 's priorities would be prevention , assess- ment, screening, referral and treatment. Now, Bilezikian said, "no one knows where to bring their children , or where to send them." The assessment center staff would include a social worker who would perform psycho- social evaluations of children and their families. A child psychiatrist from McLean Hospital in Belmont would be available here one day a week. The New England Home for Little Wanderers would make its respite center for 15- to 21- year-olds on the south Shore available as well. What will set the center apart is its ability to perform comprehensive assessments and share that information with appropriate primary care providers and referral agencies. The organizers told the com- missioners they have enough funds to get through their first year but will be raising money regularly. They will bill insurance and the MassHealth program to recover as many costs asthey can, but a deficit of around $220,000 willhave to be made up every year. The commissioners were supportive of the idea and said they'd look into what re- sources -not likely monetary - the county could offer. CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:8 funding." Penn said the police "are doing agreatjob,"but saidhe remained worried about the potential of closing a North Street nightclub early, at 11 p.m. "If they keep closing places up, where will they go?" he asked. "Main Street. We're acity.We've gotta real- ize it." When Penn spoke about the need for increased secu- rity,Scudder saidthat was an issuebeinglooked into bythe Hyannis Main Street Busi- ness Improvement District. Contacted last week about the meeting, BID executive director Cynthia Cole de- clined to comment. Human Services Board Receives Report Operation in from the Cold was a lifesaver this winter. The effort organized by the town's human services committee and local non- profits helped people who were homeless find shelter -sometimes in motels - and move toward treatment or permanent housing. At the committee's April 28 meeting, Rick Brigham of Housing Assistance Corpo- ration shared a report that showed 25 individuals had been helped. Their outcomes were mixed. Ten had found housing, six had returned to the street by the end of March,and four were intreat- ment programs. One person was in the hospital, another had relocated , a third was living with family, one had found "other resources ," and one man had died of an overdose. Length of stay in the pro- gram ranged from a month or more (11) to one day (4) at an average cost of $985.17. Benefits ranged from health interventions (one for frost- bite), linking men and women to services and work, and get- ting people into treatment. The cost of the program was about $50,000, and there's a potential deficit of about $15,000. But other towns are pitching in to back Barnstable 's kick- off contribution of $10,000. Eastham has offered funding, and on Monday night, Cha- tham Town Meeting endorsed unanimously making a contri- bution. That was much to the delight of Town Councilor Jan- ice Barton, who was elected chair of the committee at its last meeting. She attended the Chatham session and waited three hours for the vote. Barton said Mashpee is in- terested also,and would liketo be involved next year through its operating budget. The committee'snext proj- ect may be something called Operation Summer Shelter, an effort in part to deal with conflicts between traditional campsites and owners of nearby residences. Businessman...
