Key issues
Dog park: A citizens petition, Article 21, requests that the town devise a five-year operational plan for the proposed dog park, including maintenance and waste removal, before any town land is allocated. Article 8 appropriates $1,247,118 of Community Preservation Funds, including $185,000 to help create a dog park on 2.4 acres behind the Brewster Police Station. The Stanton Foundation will contribute $225,000 toward construction. The Friends of the Brewster Dog Park would raise $50,000 to help furnish the $460,000 park.
School choice: Article 27 asks Brewster’s Select Board to ask the Nauset Regional School District to reduce the costs of the School Choice program, freeze the number of School Choice students in the district and add no new ones for the next seven years. The school committee should also reset the tuition fees.
For the past two and a half years, Officer Daniel Girard would get ready for his 16-hour shift by putting on his uniform, protective vest and badge.

The Mashpee Police Department implemented its body camera pilot program on Dec. 1. Officers who volunteered will wear body cameras during their shifts. After one year, the department will review the pilot program and decide whether to make body cameras permanent for all officers.
Mashpee is the first police department on the Cape to implement the use of body cameras.
