Howard is the Yarmouth representative and at the August BMAC meeting he said he'd be unable to at- tend the September meet- ing but expressed his hope that when he returned the following month he'd still have a seat at the table. The resolve was spon- sored by Hyannis Coun- cilor Jim Munafo, who does not believe the current practice of allowing a resident of another town to participat e as a member of the commissionin all . activities save voting, is in line with the town's admin- istrative code. The resolve was to serve as a formal request by the council to the airport commission to end that practice. On an 8-5 vote, the council did not support the resolve. Voting in sup- port of a lessened role for Yarmouthwere Munafo, Hyannis councilors Harold Tobey and Gary Brown, Cotuit's Richard Barry and Jim Crocker of Osterville. At the end of the meet- ing, Munafo called for a re- consideration of the vote, but was ruled out of order because he was not on the prevailing side, which is re- quired under the council's rules of order. Centerville Councilor Fred Chirigotis, who was on the prevailing side, then called for recon- sideration. Prompted by 5g question raised by Munafo^ Chirigotis asked town at-' ^ torney Bob Smith whether^* the present participation.^ by the Yarmouthnon-vot;^ ing member violated the *g town's administrative | » code. Smith said it didn' t ; and Chirigotis withdrew 5J5 his motion. £& Yarmouth's planned :*' request of state Rep.

Council rejects nixing airport repji Schools revisiting facility rental policy Prompted by Christian event at BHS over Labor Day By David Still II dstill@barnstablepatriot.com Complaints about a non- schooleventheldatBarnstable High School over Labor Day weekend have prompted the school committeetorevisitits facilities rental policy. The three-day event was sponsored by Covenant onthe RockMinistriesInternational and billed as a summeryouth festival. It was held under tents in the highschool park- inglot.Whilethe eventhadno affiliation with the school or school district, that was not clear from the promotional materialorsignageassociated withit. School Superintendent Dr. Patricia Grenier received complaints about the event, rooted in the separation of church and state. If the school district makes its public acuities available for rent they must be made availableto allgroups,regard- less of other affiliations. The committee is not looking to restrict the use ofitsfacilities, but wantsto make clear who is responsible for events. The committee asked that itspolicybe revisited,requir- ingthesponsor of eventstobe clearlynoted onalladvertising and promotional material. Committeemembersfelt that the lack of sponsorship infor- mationontheposters andthe large signin front of the high school probably contributed to confusion over who was runningthe event. "It's not directed at one group," committee mem- ber Pat Murphy said of the proposed amendments. "It is thoughtful and it's very simple.It'struth in advertis- ing, that's all." Committee member Peggy Dandridge asked whether an organization such asthe Nazi Party could rent space from the district. The answer is yes, it's pos- sible, school attorney Bill Butler said. He added that the current policy does place some requirements on or- ganizations, including that they should be primarilyfroniC the local area and have some,• educational purpose. ..Z The Christian organization responsible for the recent event at the high school has rented facilities from the- Barnstable Schools is tne past, most recently in 2004 when the grounds of Hyannis West were used for a similar purpose, Grenier said. At the Marstons Mills Eastj Horace Mann Public Charter* school the auditorium was used by the New Beginnings ^ Foursquare Church, now iir* Mashpee,for Sundayworship for two years. An amended policy will be drafted and presented at a,,, future meeting. ' •;*' KnowtheMarket KnowtheTown.
