This Book is Dedicated
To The Memory of
Arnold Henson
October 28, 1931 – December 18, 2016
Arnold Henson was born in Westchester, NY, graduated from the Hackley School, went on to
graduate from Colgate University, proudly served his country in the Navy, and then graduated
from the University of Michigan Law School. He met his beloved wife Cyndie while in college.
They married shortly after graduating, and remained happily married for 58 years. Starting as a
young boy, Arnold spent his summers in Orleans, first with his parents in their old farmhouse on
Barley Neck Road, and then with his own young family, also on Barley Neck. His love of
Orleans and his cherished Pleasant Bay only grew stronger over the years. He was extremely
dedicated to conserving the beautiful natural habitats of the town and surrounding waters. He
spent most of his spare time enjoying the outdoors: fishing and sailing on Pleasant Bay,
birdwatching along the ponds and beaches, and enjoying summer days surfcasting on the outer
beach. He finally fulfilled his dream of full-time residency in Orleans upon his retirement in 1995.
He brought his love of sailing to both the Namequoit Sailing Association and the Orleans Yacht
Club, serving as commodore for both organizations. He spent many a weekend working on the
race committee, and continuously encouraged the growth of the junior sailing programs so that
future generations would learn to enjoy sailing. He passed on his love of the cape to his three
children and five grandchildren, who continue his tradition of fishing, sailing and "messing about
in boats" on Pleasant Bay. Throughout his years, Arnold and his wife Cyndie dedicated much of
their time and energy to Orleans. In addition to the activities listed below, Arnold tirelessly
helped Cyndie serve the town; whether parking cars for the Annual Garden Tour, helping with
the annual plant sales for both the Orleans Improvement Association and Nauset Garden Club,
or helping set up for the Strawberry Festival, Arnold was always at Cyndie’s side. The two of
them loved their town.
17 years served on the Orleans Conservation Committee, 8 years as Chairman
1 year served on Conservation Restriction Task Force
6 years served on Pleasant Bay Resource Management Steering Committee
Commodore and one of the original members of the Namequoit Sailing Association
Commodore of the Orleans Yacht Club
Supporter of the Friends of Pleasant Bay & Orleans Conservation Trust
Volunteer and active supporter of Mass Audubon
Helped his wife Cyndie with innumerable events for the Orleans Improvement Association
& Nauset Garden club (he probably helped park your car!)

BOARD OF SELECTMEN AND TOWN ADMINISTRATOR
In 2016, the Board of Selectmen and Town Administrator continued their efforts to keep
the public informed on issues that were before the Town, and the Board’s open door
policy ensured the public was welcome at any of the hearings and meetings.
Through the combined efforts of the Board and Town Administrator, a number of
projects and initiatives were completed and many of the actions listed as part of their
annual goals were achieved including:
Conducted a mid-year budget review to evaluate progress toward achieving the
Board’s financial goals and a year-end budget review to evaluate achievements,
failures and identify opportunities for improvement.
Implemented a new 3-year State Habitat Conservation Plan Permit that may
allow ORV’s onto Nauset Beach South earlier each summer.
Continued to lead the Town’s preparation of a revised Comprehensive
Wastewater Management Plan based on accepted scientific and engineering
data in order to meet the federally mandated TMDL’s for Orleans’ estuaries.
Closed the Groundwater Protection District (Tri-Town) Septage Treatment
Facility on June 1, completed decommissioning on 8/31/16, and solicited
sealed bids for the demolition for funding consideration at the annual town
meeting.
Executed a supplemental inter-municipal agreement with Eastham and
Brewster relative to health insurance and pension benefits for retirees District
(Tri-Town).
Commissioned an Outer Beach Management Plan to address the accelerated
rate of erosion of the dunes protecting the main parking lot at Nauset Beach.
Commissioned a feasibility study and preliminary design plan to dredge
portions of the navigational channel in Nauset Estuary from Town Cove to
Nauset inlet.
Secured town meeting funding to replace the steel bulkhead at Rock Harbor
with construction underway in November with completion scheduled for the
end of March.
Also in 2016, Finance Director David Withrow and Treasurer/Collector Christine Lorge
retired; we welcomed Cathy Doane and Scott Walker as our new Finance Director and
Treasure Collector respectively; Alan McClennen was re-elected in May and Jon Fuller
was elected to fill the vacancy on the Board as a result of the resignation of John
Hodgson in April.
As we move forward, we will continue to ensure that the residents and visitors of
Orleans receive prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable customer service, while
retaining cost efficiency as a priority. We will strive in these tough economic times to
maintain the core services that our residents expect while considering new initiatives
that improve current practices.
The Selectmen and Town Administrator wish to thank the many citizens who have
provided significant volunteer service to the Town. Without them, Orleans could not
function as well as we do. And last, but certainly not least, the Board of Selectmen
appreciates and thanks our dedicated employees for their hard work and
professionalism which makes Orleans such a special place to live and visit.
Respectfully submitted,
Sims McGrath Jr., Chairman & John F. Kelly, Town Administrator

I would like to take this opportunity to also express my appreciation to all for the help and
cooperation received during the past year. Special thanks to Assistant Town Accountant,
Greta Avery and Principal Account Clerk Meghan Mahieu and to the personnel of the
Collector/Treasurer's Office, the Assessor's Office and the Information Technology Office
without whose help and perseverance the past year's accomplishments would never have
been possible.
Included in this report are the following:
1) Schedule of Receipts/Expenditures (Cash Basis-Schedule A)
2) Town Meeting Appropriation Activity Report (Cash Basis)
3) Selected General Purpose Financial Statements
INDEPENDENT AUDIT

independent audit of the financial activity of the Town for Fiscal Year 2016.
The audit was conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
A copy of the General Purpose Financial Statements including all notes and additional

TOWN CLERK
The Clerk’s office posts meetings and schedules meeting rooms for Town boards,
committees and commissions; on our official posting board and on the town’s website.
Located “front and center” in the main entrance lobby, we are frequently busy greeting,
assisting and directing the public.
In addition to our routine “public” activities of registering voters, conducting Town
meetings and elections, issuing dog licenses, registering and certifying birth, marriage
and death records, issuing business certificates, raffle permits and gas storage tank
permits and serving as the switchboard and information center for Town government,
we also work behind the scenes in cataloging and preserving the ongoing and historical
records of the Town.
On our website, the meeting schedule calendar provides easy access to meeting
agendas and minutes that have been filed with us. We have worked hard this year with
the MIS Department to have prior years scanned so that more information is available
electronically.
2016 was a very busy election year for us beginning with the Presidential Primary in
March and culminating in November with the Presidential/State Election and Early
Voting.
A special thank you to my assistant, Kelly Darling for all her continued hard work and
dedication during this year; and “a job well done” to all the election workers who got us
through the extra elections and early voting this year!
I hereby submit the following reports:

COMMITTEES

Planning Board Report on the Orleans Comprehensive Plan
As required by the Town Charter, the following is a brief report on the status of the
Orleans Comprehensive Plan, the official plan developed to ensure that Orleans will
continue as a desirable place in which to live and visit.
The 20-year Plan was last amended by Town Meeting in 2006, and is being
implemented by the staff, boards, and committees of the town.
Approximately 70% of the action items called for in the Plan have been completed.
Many of the outstanding items are ongoing activities such as the acquisition of open
space, which the Special Town Meeting considered under Article 3 tonight. Several
other important recommendations of the plan will be considered tonight. I would like to
highlight a couple of articles.
First, maintenance of Town facilities is recommended by the Town Plan. Articles 5, 6,
and 7 allow voters to consider action on the police station, fuel depot and design for a
Department of Public Works facility. Further, Article 8 seeks funding for an overflow
parking lot near Nauset Beach, which will eventually be very important to maintaining
beach access.
Second, addressing our wastewater management issue is an ongoing effort, and funds
are sought under Article 9 to support continued progress on non-traditional strategies to
clean our waters.
Third and finally, I want to report to you on progress made in downtown planning that
was funded under Article 8 of last year’s Special Town Meeting. The Planning Board,
Board of Selectmen and other boards of the Town have worked with our planning
consultant to project and understand future growth potential for the downtown area. It is
the consensus of those boards that a strong downtown residential component is vital to
the long-term interests of the community. The Planning Board will be working diligently
in the coming year to prepare zoning amendments for your consideration at the next
Annual Town Meeting.
On behalf of the Orleans Planning Board, I would like to thank our fellow residents for
attending meetings, sending letters, and otherwise helping us to preserve and improve
the town.
Thank you, Chip Bechtold, Vice-Chairman, Orleans Planning Board

or to take any other action relative thereto. (2/3 Vote Required)
MOTION: To accept and adopt Article #38 as printed in the warrant.
PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on January 26, 2015. 12 people were in
attendance. The Board received one comment in favor and none opposed to this
amendment. The Planning Board voted 5-0-0 in favor of the amendment. The Board of
Selectmen and Finance Committee were also unanimous.
This article is intended to increase flexibility in the allowance of Accessory Dwellings.
Accessory dwellings are small dwelling units that may serve a family need or provide
entry level, low-cost housing for those with limited means.
Under the existing bylaw, accessory dwellings are permitted under certain conditions:
The building lot must contain at least 40,000 s.f. of buildable upland, ie. a
conforming lot.
Dwelling size is limited to 800 s.f. in floor area;
The septic system must be adequate;
Either the primary dwelling or the accessory unit must be occupied by the owner,
and the other unit rented on an annual basis.
Problem – Definition of an accessory dwelling is a unit “created within or on an
extension to an existing single-family dwelling.” This means the unit must be part of the
primary dwelling. This prohibits the use of a separate building or garage for apartment
use.
The number of accessory dwellings permitted each year is 2-3 on average. It is
believed that the requirement that a unit be part of the primary dwelling is a substantial
inhibitor to accessory dwellings.
Response – The article would to allow accessory dwellings to be detached from the
primary residence. Other limitations on these small dwelling units would remain in
effect. It is thought that allowing an accessory unit to be detached may lead to more
78
homeowners installing an accessory dwelling, which will help address a critical need for
lower cost rental units in the Town.
The proposed amendment also reduces the setback requirement for habitable dwellings
on a single lot from 2 times the required side setback to a distance equal to the side
setback. In Residential Districts, the setback is 25 feet. This change has been
reviewed by the Fire Chief.
The Planning Board respectfully requests your approval of this article.
ACTION: Voice vote, motion carries unanimously.
ARTICLE 39. AMEND ZONING BYLAW SECTION 164-31, APARTMENT
DEVELOPMENT
Bold underline = new language strikethrough = language removed
To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning Bylaws, Section 164-31. Apartment
Development to read as follows:
§164-31 Apartment Development
A. Applicability. Apartments may be developed only in districts as provided in §164-13.
A special permit for apartments, shall be granted only in accordance with
Subsections B through D of this section and only upon these findings being made by
the Board of Appeals:
(1) By virtue of its sponsorship, financing, or design, the housing will serve an
important unmet housing need of the community, such as the need of area
residents for year-round housing, and there is enforceable assurance that the
housing will continue to meet such need for at least twenty (20) years.
(2) The housing will not adversely affect business operation on that or other
premises within the district or be detrimentally affected by such uses.
B. Lot Area. Minimum lot area shall equal sixty thousand (60,000) square feet
contiguous buildable upland area, except in the Village Center District, where
minimum lot area shall equal twenty thousand (20,000) square feet contiguous
buildable upland area. Seven Thousand (7,000) square feet of contiguous
buildable upland area shall be provided per dwelling unit, except that in the Rural
Business District fourteen thousand (14,000) square feet of contiguous buildable
upland area shall be provided per dwelling unit. Alternatively, in each structure in
which the floor area devoted to dwellings is less than that devoted to business,
minimum lot area shall equal three thousand five hundred (3,500) square feet
contiguous buildable upland area per dwelling unit, plus the area covered by the
building, plus the area required for parking servicing the business use.
C. Other Dimensional Requirements. The normally applicable district frontage, yard,
and building height requirements shall be observed.
79
D. Design Requirements. No structure shall contain more than twelve (12) dwelling
units. No dwelling unit shall have its lowest floor below grade at its entire perimeter.
E. No Special Permit shall be issued by the Zoning Board of Appeals for an apartment
or other multi-family housing development where the density exceeds two (2) units
per acre of buildable upland area unless the Board of Health certifies that the septic
system is designed to achieve an effluent nitrogen concentration of 19 milligrams per
liter (mgl) or less, as measured at the discharge.
or to take any other action relative thereto. (2/3 Vote Required)
MOTION: To accept and adopt Article #39 as printed in the warrant.
PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on January 26, 2016. 12 people were in
attendance. The Board received no comments in favor of or opposed to this
amendment. The Planning Board voted 5-0-0 in favor of the amendment. The Board of
Selectmen and Finance Committee were also unanimous.
This article would allow smaller lots in the Village Center District to be used for
residential apartments.
Apartment development is presently allowed in the Village Center by Special Permit
from the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Orleans Comprehensive Plan and the Village
Center Vision Statement both recommend that the Village Center has a strong
residential component. This is the area of the Town where additional density is thought
to be appropriate and desirable. The Village Center provides access to shops and
services, has public transit stops, and the business climate will improve if more people
live in the village.
The density currently permitted under the bylaw is approx. 6 units per acre for an
apartment project, with an allowance for 12 units per acre in a mixed commercial and
residential development.
PROBLEM
The bylaw contains several dimensional and design requirements that must be met in
order to obtain approval for an apartment development. Of note, minimum lot size
required for apartments is 60,000 s.f. of land area. While there are 13 parcels in the
Village Center that meet the minimum size requirement, most of the lots are either fully
utilized or otherwise constrained by existing business development. There are few lots
that could reasonably be developed for apartment use.
Therefore, under current regulations, it is unlikely that very many apartments will be
added to the Village Center.
RESPONSE
What is proposed is to reduce the minimum lot size for apartments to 20,000 s.f. from
the existing 60,000 s.f. This would allow more parcels to be developed for exclusively
80
residential purposes. There are an additional 24 lots that would qualify to apply for a
SP.
Under this proposal, all the same rules would apply for an apartment development –
Density is the same, SP still required, with abutter notification and public hearing.
The rationale for the change:
A healthy residential sector makes for a more vibrant and active downtown.
There is a need for additional housing units in the Village Center
Section 164-32 of the Bylaw already allows DWELLINGS IN COMMERCIAL
STRUCTURES, by right, up to 4 units. The mixed use requirement appears to
be a disincentive, so allowing basically the same number of dwelling units
through the Apartment Development section makes sense.
Orleans has more commercially zoned property than is needed to serve future
residents, based on a recent buildout study. Allowing some business properties
to convert to strictly residential use strengthens remaining commercial property
and makes it more viable.
We think this amendment is a positive step to improve the vitality of the Village
Center, and we ask for your approval. Thank you.
Motion to Amend made by Jane Moroney. Amendment determined by Moderator and
Town Counsel to be beyond the scope of the article.
ACTION: Voice vote, motion carries by the necessary 2/3 majority.

Orleans, MA granted by the Snow Realty Trust to the Town of Orleans, through its
Conservation Commission, and recorded on January 5, 2001 with the Barnstable

CONSTRUCTION OPTION
To see if the Town will vote to authorize and direct the Board of Selectmen to evaluate

the project. This alternative approach streamlines the process and has the potential for
substantial savings compared to the traditional Design then Build option that is typically
used by Towns for public construction projects. As proposed, the Board of Selectmen
will evaluate the Design-Build option and the potential costs/benefits to the Town and
report their findings to the Town Meeting in May 2017, or to take any other action
relative thereto. (Simple Majority Vote Required)

ARTICLE 47. FUND RE-EXAMINATION OF OAK RIDGE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE

To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate, borrow, and/or transfer from
available funds the sum of Twenty Five Thousand and 00/100 ($25,000) for the purpose
of conducting a “re-examination” of the Oak Ridge Archaeological Site located on upper
Namskaket Creek by reviewing the Final Report published in 1984 by Leonard
Loparto—the project archaeologist—concerning his research and fieldwork of this
Transitional Late Archaic tool-making workshop location. He reported that “significant
cultural materials were found.” Mr. Loparto recommended that “a data recovery plan for
the Oak Ridge site should include historical, environmental and archaeological research
for the site and surrounding area.” Mr. Loparto called for a “determination of eligibility:
of the Oak Ridge Site for recognition by the National and State Registers of Historic
Places.”
This research has never been conducted. Town elders owe a duty of stewardship to
the Nauset culture to undertake a peer review of Mr. Loparto’s research work and to
conduct a field survey to update town residents as to the present conditions found at the
site. Artifacts found during the preliminary 1984 “dig” are held locally under the
jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Historical Commission.
Support this citizen petition calling for “re-examination” of the Oak Ridge Site before the
demolition of the Tri-Town Septage Treatment Plant and reclamation in this area of
critical archaeological significance in town history.
Provided however, that such vote shall not take effect until the Town votes to exempt
from the limitations of total taxes imposed by the Massachusetts General Law Chapter
59, Section 21C (Proposition 2 ½) amounts required to pay the principal and interest of
the borrowing approved by such vote and further authorize the Board of Selectmen
and/or Town Administrator to apply for and accept any Federal, State, County or other
funds that may be available for this purpose, any such funds or grants which shall be
used to offset the total appropriation authorized herein, or to take any other action
relating thereto.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE
In 2016 the Affordable Housing Committee worked toward creating opportunities for
affordable housing for all residents. The Committee continued its outreach efforts to
other local and regional housing agencies in its pursuit to identify future projects that
would further the Town goal of 10% affordable housing. Several properties were
investigated for their potential, but the committee did not identify a suitable location for a
new housing development. Funding requests of outside public and private agencies
were evaluated and supported, including an extension of the emergency repair loan
program operated by HECH, and additional support for Cape Cod Village, a planned
home for adults with autism.
Notably, the committee worked with a consultant on a population demographics and
housing needs study. When completed in 2017, the study will help inform the Town
about the most critical housing needs of the community so that limited resources can be
used in the most efficient manner possible.
Late in the year, a successful request was made to use the Affordable Housing Trust
Fund to investigate the potential to construct affordable apartments in the building
owned by Homeless Prevention Council.
The committee also worked to incorporate an affordable housing requirement into the
downtown zoning amendments that were crafted by the Planning Board.
The Committee is thankful for the many years of dedicated service of Susan Sasso.

Thomas R. Johnson, Chairman

Dept. and Conservation Commission in planning the unique agricultural development at
Putnam Farm. We anticipate that a portion of the site will be available to growers in the
spring of 2017. Other activities included participation in the Agricultural Commission
Regional Roundtable and a pumpkin growing project at Putnam Farm.

BARNSTABLE COUNTY ASSEMBLY OF DELEGATES
The Assembly of Delegates is the legislative branch of County Government (three
County Commissioner's serve as the executive branch). Each of the fifteen towns in
Barnstable County is represented on the Assembly by a Delegate elected by the voters
of the town, ensuring a local voice on countywide issues. Delegates serve two-year
terms. An election was held in November, 2016, and the Assembly reorganized its
committees and elected speaker on January 4, 2017.
Except as provided in the Barnstable County Home Rule Charter, the acts of the
Assembly of Delegates are required to be by ordinance. The Assembly holds regular
meetings on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 4:00 p.m. in the Chamber
of the Assembly of Delegates, First District Courthouse, in Barnstable. Each Delegate’s
vote is a weighted vote based on the U.S. Decennial Census, with Barnstable currently
having the largest vote (20.92%) and Truro having the smallest vote (0.93%). The
Orleans vote is currently 2.73%.
As the County's legislative branch, the Assembly deals with setting priorities among the
many activities of County Government, including dredging our waterways, testing water
and food quality, funding the child advocacy center, homelessness and other human
service needs, hazardous materials collection, countywide mosquito and disease
control, transportation, supporting farming and marine resources, and fire training. In
general, the County seeks to facilitate regional responses to regional challenges such
as energy, and sustainable economic development.
Various Standing Committees of the Assembly to review budgets, proposed ordinances,
and planning initiatives. Committees examine departmental budgets, review new
programs, and also assess the goals, programs and effectiveness of each county
initiative. The Standing Committee on Finance, in addition to the task of reviewing the
105
County budget, and must assess and make recommendations on all major actions
having financial implications.
The Standing Committee on Natural Resources works on growth management
initiatives, revisions to the Regional Policy Plan, and County wastewater management
issues, including regionalization issues. The Standing Committee on Economic Affairs is
involved in the County’s Economic Development Council, the revenues received from
the purchase of the Barnstable County license plates, and grants awarded by the
County from those revenues. The Standing Committee on Public Services, among other
things, works on issues relating to the County’s existing facilities.
The Committee on Health and Human Services works closely with the Barnstable
County Human Services Advisory Council on human services funding needs in
Barnstable County, including services for the homeless, victims of abuse or neglect, and
Meals on Wheels.
Particular areas of concern this year include continued fiscal transparency and
addressing issues of efficiency and compliance, responding to water quality challenges,
and maintaining human services needs throughout the County in a responsible and
efficient manner.

Christopher W. Kanaga, Orleans Delegate

BOARD OF HEALTH
On July 21, 2016, the Orleans Board of Health adopted amendments to its Sale and
Use of Tobacco and Nicotine Delivery Products. The changes to the regulations include
provisions limiting youth access to tobacco and nicotine delivery products, regulates
smoking in public places and prohibits the sale of tobacco and nicotine delivery
products in Health Care Institutions. The major restrictions contained in the regulation
106
include the prohibition of tobacco products to anyone less than the age of 21, smoking
on town owned athletic fields, parks, landings and conservation land as well as
prohibition of smoking in licensed lodging establishments and outdoor areas of bars and
restaurants.
The Board is convinced that these changes will discourage the use of tobacco products

Section 208 Areawide Water Quality Management Plan Update
The Cape Cod Water Quality Management Plan Update, commonly referred to as the
208 Plan, was approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in September
2015. Focus in 2016 turned to plan implementation and meeting its first year
requirements.
In March, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection awarded
$950,000 to Barnstable County in support of clean water. The Commission received
$700,000 for continued implementation of the 208 Plan, including local technical
assistance to prepare watershed plans for all Cape towns. The Commission also
awarded $142,000 in direct assistance to towns for shovel-ready projects that could be
completed by June 30, 2016. The towns of Barnstable, Dennis, Falmouth, Harwich,
Mashpee, Orleans Truro and Yarmouth benefited from these grants. The remaining
$250,000 was in support of the county’s coastal water quality monitoring program.
The Commission hosted the third Cape-wide wastewater conference in late June. The
two-day OneCape conference focused on progress toward implementation, real world
examples of water quality projects across New England and a gathering of the Cape’s
local elected leaders for an open discussion of what towns should expect in the coming
12 months.
Town watershed plans were submitted to the Commission in June 2016. Some towns
prepared plans with their consultants, others deferred to watershed plans prepared by
Commission staff and consultants.
More information on the 208 Plan Update is located at capecodcommission.org/208
Regional Policy Plan Update
A series of stakeholders continued through the fall of FY 2016. From September to
November, the Commission held monthly stakeholder meetings in each of three sub-
regions across the Cape. These were opportunities to discuss the approach toward this
update of the RPP, which emphasizes simplification of the regulatory process, easing
local comprehensive planning and creating a framework for regional capital planning.
Housing is also an issue that emerged throughout the year.
The RPP serves as the Commission’s guiding document for planning and regulation. It
is approved as an ordinance of Barnstable County by the elected Assembly of
Delegates and Board of Regional Commissioners.
A series of on-line planning tools were developed to support the RPP Update process
and local decision making, such as the Chronology Viewer, Community Characteristics
Viewer and Envision Tomorrow. These and other tools are available at
capecodcommission.org/rppupdate.
Strategic Information Office
Six towns are participating in a three-year pilot for performance management and
benchmarking software. Through the Strategic Information Office, the Commission
contracted with OpenGov for a pilot performance management project with six Cape
towns. Using Local District Technical Assistance funds provided through the
Massachusetts Office of Housing and Community Development, a regional analytical
tool will be implemented to collect, report, benchmark and analyze municipal and
regional financial data. Participating towns are Brewster, Chatham, Falmouth, Mashpee,
Sandwich and Yarmouth.
111
The Commission’s Strategic Information Office (SIO) continued its technical support and
development of an electronic permits, licenses and inspections solution for Cape towns,
known as ePermitting. The system is live in the towns of Yarmouth, Chatham,
Provincetown and Harwich.
The Commission also continues to support the Regional Wide Area Network (RWAN),
utilizing the OpenCape broadband accessible throughout the Cape. The Commission
has connected 13 of the 15 Cape towns together with 1 Gbps shared Internet access,
and access to regional hosted services developed by the SIO and its Governance
Committee.
Coastal Resiliency Grant
The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a three-
year, $780,000 grant to the Cape Cod Commission and partners to develop a tool and
public outreach program to investigate the environmental and socio-economic effects of
local and regional coastal resiliency strategies.
The grant is funded through the NOAA’s Regional Coastal Resilience Grant program,
which supports regional-scale projects that enhance the resilience of coastal
communities and economies to the effects of extreme weather, climate hazards, and
changing ocean conditions.
Planning/Community Design
With expertise in land use planning, zoning, natural resources, historic preservation,
affordable housing, and other areas, the planning staff works to improve the function
and character of communities while managing growth and protecting the Cape's
sensitive environment. The Planning department plays a major role in the five-year
updates to the Regional Policy Plan, Local Comprehensive Plan assistance,
establishing Districts of Critical Planning Concern and Growth Incentive Zones, regional
and corridor-wide transportation/planning studies, and resource protection efforts
including the Cape Cod Ocean Management Plan, 208 Plan update, and hazard
mitigation planning. Planning staff works collaboratively with Community Design and
Economic Development staff on Regional Economic Strategy Executive Team (RESET)
CEDS/Economic Development
The Commission maintains 20 balanced economy benchmarks, eight up-to-date town-
level data tables and 11 maps by county for each town, which are available on
STATSCapeCod.org. Adding to this economic analysis is BART (Barnstable Area
Regional Trends), a quarterly on-line publication that identifies and examines important
economic trends in the region, available at www.capecodcommission.org/bart.
RESET Projects
Among the services the Cape Cod Commission provides to towns is technical
assistance through RESET (Regional Economic Strategy Executive Team) projects.
Staff members from multiple departments collaborate with town leaders on planning
projects to promote economic development on Cape Cod. It is part of the
implementation strategy for the Cape Cod Comprehensive Economic Development
Strategy, or CEDS, which is administered by the Commission.
112
RESET Projects in 2016 included work on Route 6A in Orleans, Route 132 Retail
Centers, David Straits in Falmouth, “Olympic Village” in Falmouth and an economic
evaluation in the Town of Mashpee.
Regulatory Program
Through its Regulatory Program, the Cape Cod Commission reviews projects that
present regional issues identified in the Act, including water quality, traffic flow,
community character, affordable housing, open space, natural resources, and economic
development as Developments of Regional Impact (DRIs).

Affordable Housing/HOME Consortium
In 2016, the Commission continued its effort to recast its affordable housing program.
With the transition of the Barnstable County HOME Consortium from the Commission to
Barnstable County Human Services Department complete, the Commission sought to
bring a broader planning and community development dimension to its housing efforts.
Where the HOME program was administrative, providing home ownership assistance, a
broader and more integrated planning approach to the Cape’s housing needs. In June
2016 the Commission hired Heather Harper, Falmouth’s long-time assistant town
manager, to help define and develop this new approach.
Transportation
The Cape Cod Commission's transportation staff provides technical expertise in
transportation and traffic-related matters for the Commission, its staff, and the 15 Cape
Cod towns. The Cape Cod Commission Act charges the Commission with furthering
and coordinating the provision of "adequate capital facilities," including transportation
services, through the goals and standards specified in the Cape Cod Regional Policy
Plan.
The Commission provides administrative and staff support for the Cape Cod
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), and the Cape Cod Joint Transportation
Committee (CCJTC).
In 2016, more than $21.4 million in Federal and State infrastructure capital was secured
for the region.

CAPE COD NATIONAL SEASHORE ADVISORY COMMISSION
While the National Seashore Advisory Commission did take up many issues during
2016, none of those issues directly concerned the Town of Orleans. Among the
particular areas discussed were the following:
1. The Advisory Commission furthered its concern about the Pilgrim Nuclear Plant by
addressing a letter to Governor Baker requesting that the Governor take a
position that the Pilgrim nuclear reactor should be shut down now rather than
allowed to operate at an unsafe situation.
118
2. The Seashore Advisory Commission has not taken any action with respect to
Orleans’ position relative to vehicle access over Nauset Spit. The Seashore and
the Advisory Commission are waiting to see if the issue can be resolved between
the towns of Eastham and Orleans.
3. The Seashore Advisory Commission was very concerned relative to the
destruction of trees and vegetation at the Horton’s Campground in Truro,
Massachusetts. Some of the trees destroyed were actually located on property
belonging to the National Seashore. The Commission advised the
Superintendent not to renew the suspension of condemnation certificate that
Horton’s Campground has received in the past pending an opinion from council
to the Superintendent that the certificate could be reinstated in the future.

best practices and guidance from the experiences of other towns throughout the region.
In January 2013, Barnstable County, acting through the Cape Cod Commission, was
directed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to prepare an update to the 1978
Section 208 Area-Wide Water Quality Management Plan for Cape Cod. This plan is a
comprehensive Cape-wide review of water quality issues facing the region, with a focus
initially on nutrient management and water quality planning for Cape Cod’s
coastal embayments.
The Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative Governing Board and Technical Advisory
Committee (TAC) provided input into the 208 Plan Update. The TAC was a key player in
the review and shaping of the technologies matrix that formed the basis for the
evaluation of appropriate management techniques. In addition, a Regulatory, Legal, and
Institutional (RLI) Work Group, with representation from DEP, EPA, the Cape Cod
Commission and the Collaborative addressed the potential need for regulatory reform
and other challenges associated with planning and implementation. The Collaborative,
through its Executive Director, was fully involved and engaged in this effort
The ongoing lawsuits between the Conservation Law Foundation, and the United State
Environmental Protection Agency was settled with the parties agreeing that the suit
would be stayed as long as the County completed the 208 Plan, it was certified by the
Governor by June 15, 2015 and approved by EPA by September 2015. Each of those
milestones was met. Governor Baker certified the plan in June of 2015 and the EPA
approved the plan in September of 2015. The completion of the 208 Plan has
successfully shielded the Cape from further litigation as long as communities continue
to make progress implementing nitrogen management measures. The Collaborative will
continue to work with communities to ensure that implementation continues and that the
stay of litigation remains in place.
The Collaborative successfully proposed that the County and the Commonwealth
partner to ensure continuation of a long term record of water quality in the marine
environment and to ensure transparent access for the public to the data. In response to
the Collaborative’s request, the Baker Administration has made a four year $1 million
commitment to match county funds to support monitoring of marine sentinel stations
and to develop and maintain a robust web based interface to the underlying data. The
County increased its commitment to monitoring by appropriating $250,000 to match the
Commonwealth’s funding.
Lastly, the Collaborative has maintained its practice of supporting local planning and
management efforts. The Collaborative has continued to provide third party consulting
support in engineering and planning reviews and financial management to any town
requesting such support. The majority of Cape towns have accessed this support and
the budget to continue this program stayed intact.

CAPE LIGHT COMPACT
Cape Light Compact is an award-winning energy services organization operated by the 21
towns and two counties on Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard. The Compact’s mission is to
serve its 200,000 customers through the delivery of proven energy efficiency programs,
effective consumer advocacy, competitive electricity supply and green power options. For
more information, visit www.capelightcompact.org.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY – Saving Energy and Money
Cape Light Compact offers an energy efficiency program that provides technical
assistance and valuable incentives and rebates to residential and business customers,
whether you rent or own your home or business space. The energy efficiency programs
(energy audits for homes and businesses, rebates on the purchase of energy efficient
appliances, and energy education in our schools) give customers the power to take
control of their energy use, reduce their energy bills, and protect the environment.
The first step to saving energy and is a free energy assessment, or audit, that will
identify improvements that can be made and how much energy can be saved. Please
call the Cape Light Compact at 800-797-6699 to set up a free energy audit for your
home or business.
Cape Light Compact’s energy efficiency programs are funded from an “energy
conservation” charge ($0.0025 per kilowatt hour) and a portion of the “distribution
charge” ($0.01802 for residential customers and $0.01343 for commercial and industrial
customers) that are included as part of each customer’s monthly electric bill.
In the Town of Orleans, the Cape Light Compact accomplished the following in 2016:

Cod and Martha’s Vineyard. The Compact was granted full party status in Eversource’s
grid modernization plan review docket at the Department of Public Utilities (DPU),
meaning the Compact will have the opportunity to take an active role in the adjudicatory
review process of the plan. There are several key areas of concern to the Compact and
Cape and Vineyard ratepayers, and the Compact will continue to engage our member
communities to make sure they have a voice in these important decisions that will have
a major impact on how energy is used and consumed on the Cape and Vineyard.
The Compact was also a participant in the DPU dockets for the proposals that were put
forth this year by the state’s two main electric distribution companies (EDCs),
Eversource and National Grid, to contract for new natural gas pipelines and pass costs
on to electric consumers. The EDC’s proposed to have the costs of expanding natural
gas pipelines paid by electric rate payers through increased distribution charges. The
Compact noted that this concept is contrary to the 1997 Massachusetts Restructuring
Act. The Compact objected to having electric rate payers fund natural gas pipelines,
and supported the position that natural gas pipelines be funded by natural gas
customers and natural gas company shareholders. The Massachusetts Supreme
Judicial Court ruled the utilities’ proposed funding concept illegal, stating the proposal
“would re-expose ratepayers to the very types of risks that the Legislature sought to
protect them from when it enacted the restructuring act.” This ruling put an end to the
concept of electric ratepayers funding natural gas pipelines. As such, while the pipeline
constraint issue remains, electric ratepayers are protected from exposure to the
financial risks associated with these expensive pipelines.
In November 2016, the Compact learned that Eversource plans to file a rate case for its
distribution service territory on Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard for the first time in
nearly twenty years. The Compact plans to petition the DPU for intervention in the case
to help ensure that the interests of the ratepayers on Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard
are protected.
The Compact also continues to participate in dockets related to the retail electric
market, pushing for policies that promote a competitive power supply market while
ensuring common-sense protections for consumers.
POWER SUPPLY - Stability, Security, and Green Power Options
Calendar year 2016 was slightly less volatile than prior years in terms of delivered
natural gas prices, which resulted in lower and more stable electricity pricing overall.
The combination of milder-than-expected real-time wholesale electricity prices in the
winter of 2014-2015, a relatively warm 2015 fall season, and the continuation of a New
England-wide winter reliability program led to lower forward power pricing for the winter
of 2015-2016 than the record highs seen in the 2014-2015 winter. Customers benefitted
from this in the form of lower retail electricity prices, and based on these market factors,
the Compact made a decision in December 2015 to lock in a rate for twelve months
rather than go with the normal six-month pricing. The twelve-month rate was lower than
Eversource’s January-June Basic Service rate, which helped to mitigate impacts to
customers’ winter electric bills. Cape Light Compact customers saved a cumulative total
of approximately $3.2 million over Basic Service from January through June 2016.
Despite lower and more stable prices this year, New England continues to face
electricity pricing challenges associated with the limited pipeline capacity that delivers
122
natural gas to electric generators, which supply over fifty percent of New England’s
electricity. The pipeline constraint is only an issue for a limited number of hours in the
winter, when gas is also used for heating homes, creating a supply shortage and
increased pricing for generators, thereby increasing the price for every megawatt hour
they produce. Until such time as this issue is addressed, either through additional
infrastructure, demand reduction, or other targeted programs, the possibility of future
high winter pricing remains, and as such, consumers should still expect seasonal pricing
fluctuations for the foreseeable future.
The Compact continues to provide power supply to commercial customers through its
contract with NextEra Energy Services and to residential customers through ConEdison
Solutions. As of November 2016, the Compact had 4,343 electric accounts in the Town
of Orleans on its power supply.
In early December 2016, Cape Light Compact announced that its aggregation power
supply load is going 100 percent renewable and supporting future development of
renewable energy projects.
“This is an exciting opportunity for Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard electric ratepayers
to support renewable energy while still having the stability that the Compact provides,
with no long-term commitment or surprises,” said Maggie Downey, Cape Light Compact
Administrator. “We are excited to join other aggregators in Massachusetts that are
offering higher renewables content products by going with 100 percent renewable
power.”
The Compact has teamed up with NextEra Energy Services to provide low price
electricity to all of its customers with an added sustainability focus. This agreement will
provide additional EarthEra™ renewable energy certificates (RECs) equal to 100
percent of the Compact’s customers’ energy usage in addition to all RECs required to
comply with Massachusetts Renewable Portfolio Standards.
Besides the provision of the EarthEra™ RECs, the Compact’s participation will also
direct up to $3 million annually into the EarthEra Renewable Energy Trust. The
Compact’s agreement with NextEra requires that 100 percent of all proceeds deposited
in the Trust are to be used to develop new renewable projects in North America with an
effort to direct those funds to projects within the New England area.
“In addition to discussing green aggregation at Compact Board meetings, we held
several public information sessions and heard from ratepayers that clean energy was
important in order to address climate change, but that pricing was a big concern,”
Downey said. “With our selection of NextEra and EarthEra we are able to add
renewables attributes to the structure and help support future projects, all while being
competitively priced.”

COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE
The Town of Orleans adopted the Community Preservation Act (CPA) in May 2005. The
Town receives funding for CPA activities from the 3% local surcharge on real estate
property taxes (surtax) and from a state match of up to 100% of the surtax revenues,
subject to the availability of state funding. CPA funds must be spent on open space,
123
community housing, historic preservation and recreation projects which contribute
toward achieving the goals of the Committee's Preservation Plan and the Town's
Comprehensive Plan and which meet the legal requirements of the CPA.
The nine-member Orleans Community Preservation Committee (CPC), created through
state statue and local bylaw, implements the requirements of the CPA, administers the
project selection process and awards funds to eligible projects subject to Town Meeting
approval.
The Committee conducted its eleventh full calendar year of business in 2016. Important
activities during the year were:
As 2016 commenced, there were seventeen projects, in various stages of
completion, being monitored by the Committee to insure they remained within
budget and approved scope and that satisfactory progress was being made
towards completion of the projects.
At the May Annual Town Meeting, the CPC, after careful review, interviews, and
a public hearing, recommended funding for seven projects as follows:
1. HECH Housing Emergency Loan Program - $59,000
2. Cape Cod Village-Phase 2 - $100,000
3. Affordable Housing Reserve - $100,000
4. Demographic/Housing Study - $35,000
5. Eldredge Park Playground Improvements - $9,500
6. Interpretive Historic Markers Phase 2 - $29,300
7. Historic Reserves - $63,184
The Town Meeting followed the CPC recommendations and through Article 4,
approved $489,750 to pay interest and principle on open space debt, $25,000 for
FY '16 Committee expenses and $395,984 for the seven projects, resulting in a
total CPA Program Budget of $910,734.
As 2017 commences, there are thirteen on-going projects that continue to be
monitored by the Committee. There are also fourteen applications for projects
seeking funding in the next fiscal year, FY ’18.
While the state match under the CPA remains at much less than 100% of local surtax
revenues, state legislation passed in 2013, 2014 and 2015 provided some additional
funding in those years. However, it is far from certain that this funding (which requires
legislation each year and which is tied to the state having a surplus at the end of the
fiscal year) will continue in the future. In the meantime, the Community Preservation
Committee remains committed to its support, within the available funding, of projects
that will preserve the character and beauty of the Town of Orleans in the areas of open
space, community housing, historic preservation and recreation.

CONSERVATION COMMISSION
The Conservation Commission implements the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act
and the Orleans Wetland Protection Bylaw. The Commission reviews and approves
applications for projects affecting any of the Town’s wetland resource areas and manages
the Town’s Conservation Areas.
124
Reviewing and Approving Wetland Projects
Any activity that alters a wetland resource area or the 100 foot buffer to the resource
area, including filling, construction, renovation, pruning, removing or planting vegetation,
must be filed with the Conservation Commission prior to initiation. Wetland resource
areas encompass wetland vegetation, coastal banks, dunes, land subject to coastal
storm flowage and areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC) among others. In
2016, the Conservation Commission heard approximately 78 Notices of Intent, 65 other
filings including Certificates of Compliance, Amended Orders, and Requests for
Determination, and reviewed and completed 175 Administrative Reviews.
Management of Open Space Areas
The Orleans Conservation Commission is responsible for the management of the Town’s
Conservation Areas. Most of these areas are available to the public and offer passive
recreational opportunities with trails and scenic views. In 2016, the Conservation
Commission continued to support the Department of Public Works Natural Resources
efforts to improve and manage Town conservation areas.
Meeting Schedule
The Conservation Commission meets in the mornings the first four Tuesdays of every
month. New hearings are advertised the first and third weeks of the month.

COUNCIL ON AGING
The Orleans Council on Aging (COA) operates the Orleans Senior Center and provides
support, enrichment, and advocacy to enhance the quality of life for older adults and
caregivers in our community. With more than half of our community over the age of 60,
the utilization of our programs and services has flourished as we continue to try and
respond to the needs of those we serve.
This year we noticed participation growth in our health and wellness programs including
multilevel fitness programs, presentations by exceptional speakers on health issues of
interest to older adults, informational programs regarding available alternative health
options, discussions regarding memory concerns and advance directives, support
groups for those with chronic health issues, and counseling regarding health insurance
options. The other area where we saw continued expansion was in the utilization of our
transportation services. The Orleans COA provided more rides to local seniors last year
than any other COA on Cape Cod!
COA 2016 Program Highlights:
We created new supports for caregivers by offering additional support groups
including the new Male Caregivers Support group facilitated by Elder Service of
Cape Cod, and offered a Home Safety Training and legal workshop for caregivers.
We collaborated with Snow Library and the Friends of OCOA to sponsor a
community-wide read program on Atul Gawande’s book, Being Mortal: Medicine and
What Matters in the End which included book discussion groups, film viewing, and
an event featuring nationally recognized, “The Conversation Project”.
Utilized funds from a generous grant from the Fund for the Elderly of the Cape Cod
Foundation for our "Ask-A-Nurse" initiative to provide education and support to
promote optimal health and wellness as a pathway to healthy aging.
125
Helped to initiate an Intermunicipal Agreement with the towns of Brewster, Chatham,
and Harwich for the Day Center Program to ensure that non-resident clients are not
being supported by Orleans appropriations.
Initiated programs to address some of the taboo subjects of aging to facilitate
discussions of tough topics and to answer un-asked questions.
Implemented new “My Senior Center” software used in 80% of Massachusetts senior
centers to save staff time and help generate required state statistical reports.
Launched a steering committee for our popular Lower Cape LGBT Senior Group to
encourage future investment in the program and ensure it continues to meet the
needs of participants.
168 volunteers provided 5,536 hours of community service at the Senior Center.
If you come into the Senior Center you will find an incredible team of dedicated
employees and volunteers who collaborate to make everything we do possible. We are
most appreciative for the support of our COA Board, our Friends Board, and our
community which helps us to thrive.

CULTURAL COUNCIL
The Orleans Cultural Council seeks to further the cultural development of Orleans by
promoting the Arts, Humanities, and the interpretive sciences. Funds received through
an annual grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC) are appropriated
locally by the Orleans Cultural Council (OCC) to individual projects that are made
available to the general public and to those that will improve the quality of life in the
Orleans community.
The MCC allocation to Orleans for the grant cycle 2016-2017 was $4400. Twenty one
local grant applications were received for consideration, totaling $12,744. The Orleans
Cultural Council (OCC) selected 13 projects for local grant awards: MA Audubon
Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, Nauset Regional Middle School (NRMS) ARTS DAY,
Meeting House Chamber Music Summer Series, Two Snow Library Reading Programs,
Cape Cod Children's Place Fun Fair, Regional Classical Music Open Mike Series,
Alzheimer Caregiver Support Center, Cape Cod Chamber Music Festival, Cape Cod
Poetry Review, Cape Cod Fisherman's Alliance, Song Keepers Ltd. The OCC voted to
fund the Cape and Islands Community Development Grant from the Culture and
Recreation Account.
Collaborating with individual artists and non-profit organizations, OCC facilitated and
maintained the continuation of Public Interest Educational Displays and Cultural Exhibits
in Town Hall and at the Old Firehouse Gallery on Main St.
In January, the OCC sponsored a partnership of the Orleans Historical Society and the
Orleans Elementary School 5th grade students, in a project illustrating the story of the
CG36500 Rescue. Students' Bas-relief Artwork and first person student narratives were
exhibited at the Old Firehouse. The event culminated in a public reception for the
students and teachers, and a presentation by Richard Besciak, historian and consultant
for the CG36500 restoration and the film, "Our Finest Hours".
To celebrate National Youth Art Month in March, the OCC organized the Annual Youth
Art Exhibit at Town Hall, exhibiting 96 student works from 3 regional schools, in Fine
Arts, Photography, Ceramics, Jewelry and Fashion Design. A public reception was held
for the student artists, teachers, their families and the regional community.
Other Public interest exhibits at Town hall, throughout the year, included Streetscape
Design Planning: Cape Cod Commission 6A Corridor Project, the Historic Markers
Committee display of full-sized proofs of 5 new Historical Markers placed in Orleans in
2016, the Watershed, Water Testing, and Orleans Harvey Pond Studies by the Orleans
Pond Coalition, the Orleans Chamber of Commerce promotion: "Orleans, Happiest Sea
Coast Town", and the Building Dept.'s site plans and architectural renderings of the new
Orleans Police Station.
Promoting Public Art through a grant from the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce in
2015, OCC took an active step to collaborate with the Chamber in 2016, to install an
informative marker at the Whale Sculpture on Cove Rd. The OCC agreed to contribute
1/3 of the cost of the sign, and to work with the Historic Markers Committee to ensure
that the Marker would replicate the approved signage design and format established for
Orleans Markers. The OCC initiated and continues to support, a Public Art Fund,
127
holding the vision of a second sculpture to be commissioned upon the completion of
Theresa's Way.
Through our grant to NRMS, the use of the Old Firehouse on Main St., and a grant from
the CC Chamber, OCC sponsored the first Public Art installation on Main St. for the
month of June, “Ocean Debris, a Whale of a Problem." Using only recycled items, the
entire installation covered the pathway from Cove Rd to Main St., the interior and
exterior of the Old Firehouse and surrounding areas, including sidewalk chalk waves
and papier-mache on stilts. Students created a trash "talking" timeline, along the
pedestrian walk-way, illustrating the amount of time required for commonly discarded
objects to decompose, and placed a 15' wire trash dolphin and 6' recycled plastic bottle
jellyfish sculptures in Parish Park. The Old Firehouse Gallery displayed the NRMS
students' environmentally themed paintings, posters, 3-D printing and laser cutting.
Their work was companioned with an exhibit, "Rusty Stuff", by local artist Joyce Aaron.
Live music, refreshments, and interactive family activities filled opening day. The
program's objective was to create an awareness of consumption, waste and pollution in
daily life, and of personal local and global impact. The NRMS student works were the
culmination of a themed curriculum throughout the school year, involving technology
and art classes and the afterschool program. Collaborative organizations included the
Town of Orleans, the DPW, the Orleans Pond Coalition, Orleans Cultural District, the
Orleans and Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, local businesses, NRMS staff,
principal, and teachers, who walked students to the exhibit during the school day, and
the direction of a visionary teacher, Brandy Jackson. The entire body of student
artworks were recycled one more time, to be reassembled for the Orleans Pond
Coalition float in the Town's 4th of July parade.
The OCC has partnered with NRMS and the CC Chamber to sponsor a second
environmentally- themed Public Art installation at the Old Firehouse and surrounding
spaces during June of 2017.
The OCC was allocated $2000 through a Town Warrant supported by the Board of
Selectmen and the Citizens of Orleans at Town Meeting. These funds will be used for
additional grants and/or projects in the Arts, Humanities, or Interpretive Sciences, that
will specifically benefit the Orleans community.
The OCC continues to participate in Town and Regional organizations, with
representation on the Orleans Cultural District Task Force, the Orleans Roundtable, and
to collaborate with the Cape Cod and Orleans Chamber of Commerce, the Orleans
improvements Assoc., and the Historical Markers Committee. The OCC is developing a
partnership role between the Cultural Council and the Orleans Cultural District. In
November, the OCC was represented at the Creative Exchange Conference of Arts
organizations and artists, in Hyannis, sponsored by the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod.
The OCC initiated the very first Regional meeting of Local Cultural Councils in
September, inviting LCC members from Eastham, Truro, Wellfleet, Provincetown and
Brewster. 38 regional council members attended the OCC sponsored event at the Old
Firehouse Gallery on Main St., featuring Clare O'Connor, guest speaker, an exhibit of
international photographer, Henry Moore, and a tour of the new Rowland Sherman
Archives Museum at Artworks Gallery. The meeting objective was to share information
and expand efforts to bring a regional approach to the collaborative support of arts and
culture in the Lower Cape. The Council members were invited to use the CC Chamber's
128
marketing strategies and program development to enhance the work of each Local
Council.
An OCC survey was circulated in Orleans in July, to garner public opinion regarding
Orleans Arts and Culture in terms of facilities, activities, and funding priorities. To
encourage and promote more input, the Council proposed that a presence be planned
at the annual Summer St. Fair, and at the ClamBQ in September, as well as survey
locations at the Senior Center, Snow Library, and in the Town Hall entry, particularly,
during the Youth Art Exhibit.
The OCC received a $1000 grant, from the Kline Foundation, in appreciation for their
community work towards the purpose of Education and Promotion of the Arts and
Culture in Orleans. The OCC is considering a Kline sponsorship of an Orleans open
studio tour of 10 local artists during MA/Cape Cod-Art Spring Week, 2017.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND NATURAL RESOURCES BUILDING
COMMITTEE
The Selectmen revised the original charge of the former Department of Public Works
and Natural Resources Building Facility Feasibility Study Committee to become the
DPW / NR Building Committee to continue to pursue the process of developing a
complete set of Design Documents in order to obtain formal bids for construction.
The membership of the Committee consists of 5 voting members; Peter Coneen,
Chairman, Mike Smith, Clerk, Herb Kinney, Hank Spadaccia, and Buddy Young. The
Director of Public Works and Natural Resources and the Town Manager serve as ex
officio, non voting members. Jon Fuller continues as our liaison to the Board of
Selectmen.
Bids for the Design Work were submitted and Weston and Sampson, the firm the Town
had been working with for the preliminary feasibility work, were chosen and a contract
for services was negotiated by the Town Manager for the amount of $900,000. The
Preliminary Schematic Design Plans were subjected to the required Peer Review
process by an independent architectural firm and likewise an Owner’s Project Manager
were selected under separate contracts.
An article to authorize the Design Fees was submitted to Town Meeting and was
unanimously voted for approval. A subsequent vote at the ballot box was also approved
by the required majority.
As of the end of the year the plans at a 60% completion state along with architect’s
preliminary estimated costs were submitted to the Selectmen and the design was
approved for completion in order to obtain formal bids for 2017 Town Meeting
consideration.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
Orleans Emergency Management is accomplished through the joint management of the
command staffs of both the fire and police departments, and the cooperation of all town
agencies and the Board of Selectmen. Emergency management has three key
elements, pre-planning of needed resources, response and mitigation of emergencies,
and coordination of reimbursement efforts should they be available through state or
federal means.
During a major weather event or any other unusual emergency occurrence the town is
managed through an Emergency Operations Center staffed with public safety officials
who are in direct contact with public safety units in the field. A dedicated radio system
links all agencies and departments. State and federal assistance can be summoned as
needed from this command post.
Our mission is to mitigate storm damage, respond to emergency requests, provide
sheltering, and most importantly provide our citizens with appropriate information in
regard to the proper actions to take during emergencies. We would like to remind and
encourage the use of the Town of Orleans website to sign up for our Code Red
program. This way emergency instructions or helpful information can be sent directly to
your home or cell phone to keep you well informed.
We live in a vulnerable area for storms all year round and would like to remind all
citizens to stay prepared. Keep a flashlight with spare batteries handy at all times and
always treat all downed wires as though they are live. Should you need any storm
preparation advice please don’t hesitate to contact either the Fire or Police
Departments.
Once again, I take this opportunity to thank the Assistant Emergency Manager Police
Chief Scott MacDonald as well as the fire, police and all town employees for their
invaluable assistance during storm emergencies. Special thanks to all our citizens for
their cooperation during extreme weather and other emergency situations, it is a
community effort to keep us all safe.
Respectfully submitted,
Chief Anthony Pike, Orleans Emergency Manager
FINANCE COMMITTEE
On behalf of the Orleans Finance Committee, I am pleased to submit to Orleans citizens
the Committee's annual report on its activities during calendar year 2016. The Finance
Committee, currently comprised of eight members appointed by the Town Moderator, is
charged under the Orleans Town Charter with independently examining and analyzing
the financial affairs of Town government, including proposed budgets, Capital
Improvement Plans, and other issues having material financial impact on the Town and
its taxpayers.
In fulfilling its obligations under the Charter, the Committee conducted Fiscal Year 2017
budget reviews in meetings and consultations with Town officials. The Finance
130
Committee met jointly with the Board of Selectmen numerous times between January
and the May Town Meeting to jointly review the most significant sections of the budget.
In addition to Charter-mandated public hearings for the Town Budget and the Capital
Improvement Plan, the two bodies year convened in joint sessions for reviews of
departmental budgets that comprise the majority of Town spending, including in a
special joint session to review the Nauset Regional School District, Orleans Elementary
School, and Cape Cod Regional Technical School Fiscal Year 2016 proposed budgets.
These collaborative budget review meetings provide the members of the Finance
Committee and the Board the benefit of each other’s knowledge and experience in
evaluating departmental budgets and eliminate duplication of the time Town and school
officials are required to devote to this process.
In an effort to improve its understanding of how the Town manages its budget, the
Committee began an initiative to study how the Town generates revenue to fund its
operations and to pay for capital raised to finance the Capital Improvement Plan. To this
end, the Committee sponsored an article in the warrant for the May, 2016 Town Meeting
creating a Revenue Committee to study the Town’s revenue-generating activities and to
look for potential new sources of non-property-tax revenue that may be available to the
Town on a regular basis. This warrant article passed at the May Town Meeting and the
Revenue Committee was convened and began its work in the fall of 2016. The Finance
Committee also conducted a detailed review of some of the material financial risks that
the Town faces as it makes decisions on its budget, and how these risks might affect
the Town and the taxpayers if they were realized. The Finance Committee has a liaison
to the Water Quality Advisory Panel convened by the Board of Selectmen to engage
Town stakeholders in the development of a water quality management plan for Orleans.
Members of the Committee also served as liaisons to the Orleans Police Station
Building Committee and the Orleans Department of Public Works Building Committee.
The Committee met monthly with the Chairman of the Police Station Building
Committee to receive updates and ask questions on the progress of the new police
station, and the Committee made a number of recommendations to the Police Station
Building Committee.
The Finance Committee's annual report, published in the 2016 Warrant for the Annual
and Special Town Meetings, presented an analysis and recommendations for meeting
some of the financial challenges that the Town faces. Among this analysis and
recommendations were maximizing efforts to raise non-property-tax revenue in light of
the significant capital expenditures that the Town faces in the coming years, and
maximizing the efficiency of that capital spending to save taxpayers from significant
increases in property taxes if this spending is delayed.
The Committee continued its focus this year on analyzing Town financial practices and
the roles, responsibilities, and operations of Town Departments and Committees as
they impact Town spending, forwarding recommendations that emerged from these
analyses to the Board of Selectmen, the Town Administrator, and the Town Finance
Director as appropriate. The Committee met with the new Town Finance Director and
the new Treasurer to discuss some of the key policies and procedures in the
compilation and management of the Town’s finances, making recommendations and
building a positive working relationship with them.
131
The Committee has also been examining some of the material financial risks that the
Town faces as it makes choices about spending, property taxes, and new sources of
revenue. The Committee presented the Selectmen with a detailed risk analysis to give
the Town a tool to guide its thinking in managing some of these risks.
The Finance Committee remains committed to supporting long-term planning to meet
future challenges and near-term actions to address immediate priorities and improve
Town government services. This commitment will continue to guide the Committee's
activities to meet its Charter-mandated obligations.

Joshua Larson, Chairman
FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT
On behalf of the dedicated men and women of the Orleans Fire Rescue
Department I am pleased to present the annual report for 2016. The year marked
great progress for the department and of personal growth of our staff. Special
thanks to Deputy Chief Deering and all of the members of the department for a job
well done.
The Orleans Fire Department is an all hazards agency with a goal of providing the
highest quality advanced life support medical care utilizing the most modern, up to
date medical equipment, efficient firefighting and fire inspection services, water
rescue, dive rescue, technical rescue services, and hazard material response.
Our focus now is to emphasize training in our core competencies in firefighting and
rescue skills for all members. Intense live fire training has been delivered
department wide for the second year in a row. Members are reinforcing skill sets in
many areas of the fire ground including rehabilitation, which includes not only
proper physical monitoring but the procedures to care for protective clothing to
reduce the occurrence of occupational sickness.
Our EMS services which account for much of our daily work have undergone
specific changes to improve upon an already comprehensive level of care. The
Paramedics and EMT's train countless hours continually to provide the best care
possible. Our Paramedics have assimilated the National Paramedic level of
certification; this enables us to use a standardized level of training. Through a federal
grant the department was gifted automatic CPR devices for each of the town’s three
ambulances. These devices have already made the difference in cardiac arrest
outcomes in the field.
Our public education program, which has done a fabulous job in our local schools,
has committed to doubling the efforts for our senior citizens in the area of fall
prevention and basic home fire and safety. CPR classes are provided on an ongoing
basis as well. Our annual children’s open house provided a fun afternoon at the
firehouse for many local kids.
The Fire Prevention bureau has performed hundreds of inspections and assisted
homeowners and businesses alike in navigating the requirements for property sales and
performing overall safety inspections. Inspector Baker is always available to help with
132
any questions you may have regarding codes and ordinances or other safety
information.
The Nauset Beach EMT program finished its fourth year of operations and again
provided valuable assistance doing first aid and patrolling the outer beaches to assist in
any and all safety needs of the beach going public. This program assists our lifeguards
and provides ongoing medical training all summer long.
Once again we urge all citizens and visitors alike if you have any questions about
the services we provide or simply would like a tour of our facility and equipment give
us a call we are dedicated to serving the community, again we use the saying "get
to know us before you need us".
In closing, I would to thank all town departments for the help and total teamwork all year
round. Lastly we would like to thank all the citizens who support us year round as we
proudly serve.

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION COMMITTEE
We are pleased to provide this annual message on behalf of the Orleans Fourth of July
Celebration Committee.
*The Fireworks were set off on Saturday, July 2nd at dusk, at Rock Harbor. This year
they were presented from a barge in the bay and it was a fabulous show. The crowd at
Rock Harbor and Skaket Beach seemed to really enjoy the evening.
* A special “Thank You” to The Friends of the Fourth of July for again privately
fundraising to cover the cost of ALL of the Fireworks. The Fireworks would not
happen without the support of all of the donors.
*The 4th of July Parade stepped off from Eldredge Park Way at 10:00 am Monday, July
4, 2016. This year’s Parade had a great crowd and the weather cooperated. The
theme of the parade was Stars and Stripers, Catch the Spirit, created by Tanner
Dustin a student at the Orleans Elementary School. Tanner’s slogan won 1st Prize in the
Orleans Elementary School Parade Theme Contest. Tanner and two friends had a
great time riding in a pedicab in the parade.
*Our Grand Marshal this year was Marc Norgeot. Mark was “Uncle Sam” in our 4th of
July parade for many years and is very active in our community. Marc seemed to
thoroughly enjoy his ride in the parade.
*The Parade had some new entrants as well as many old favorites. Sixty plus
contingents participated including businesses, families, antique cars, and non-profits In
addition, we had military, police, and fire marching units, dignitaries and fabulous bands.
What a great time for both those in the Parade and those watching. 2016 Parade
Winners – Business, 1st The Farm, 2nd Cape Cod 5, 3rd Coastal Land Design. Non-
Profits, 1st Orleans Pond Coalition, 2nd U.S Coast Guard, 3rd Orleans Firebirds.
Family Awards, 1st Stewart Family, 2nd Birdsall Family, 3rd Lederer Family. We
would love to have more family groups participate. It is a great time!
* A big “Thank You” to all of the businesses that supported us with vehicles, drivers
and supplies. Your donations are crucial to our Parade’s success. Many thanks also for
the hard work of the Orleans Police, Fire, and Highway Departments and the Orleans
Chamber of Commerce. It is much appreciated.
* Our Fund Raising Effort The Fourth of July Committee appreciates that Town
Meeting appropriated up to $8000 to support the 2015 Parade. To help offset our use of
these funds, we continued this year with, our now annual parade event, volunteers
walking along with the Parade, requesting donations. Additionally we had tables with
volunteers collection donations throughout the parade route. There is a link on the
Town’s website for those who want to send a monetary contribution, directed to the 4th
of July Parade Gift Fund.
* We are looking forward to the 2017 Fourth of July activities. The Fireworks will be
displayed over Rock Harbor, at dusk, on Sunday, July 2, 2017 (rain date to be
determined). The Parade will step off on Tuesday, July 4, 2016, at 10:00am from
Eldredge Park Way.

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
The Highway Department is responsible for the maintenance and improvement of
approximately 60 miles of roadway and roadsides, the repair and maintenance of
related stormwater drainage systems (catch basins and manholes) and the repair and
maintenance of related BMP structures ensuring that the systems are operating
properly. The department is responsible for the repair and maintenance of over 50 town
vehicles, heavy equipment and trailers. The Highway Department provides labor and/or
equipment to support activities of other Department of Public Works’ Divisions (Parks,
Beaches, Facilities, Water, etc.).
The major projects managed by the department in 2016 include the following:
Drainage:
Drainage Improvements have been completed at both the intersection of
Portanimicut Road and Quanset Road, as well as along Portanimicut Road
Drainage improvements on Monument Road to improve stormwater runoff control
Safety Improvements:
The department continued upgrading street signs and warning signs to new
federal standards.
Installation of a section of sidewalk along Monument Road opposite the Crystal
Lake public parking area.
Roadway Improvements
Tonset Road, Tonset Road extension and Monument Road where paved
Extensive roadway crack sealing was also completed
Other Projects:
The Final report of the Roadway Condition Assessment has been submitted by our
Consultant. The Department utilized this report while developing roadway work for
CY17, and will depend upon the study for roadway improvements going forward
The department completed the GIS-based stormwater inventory program as well a
comprehensive report of all BMP’s within the Town. This will allow the department to
better manage and maintain the extensive inventory of town owned stormwater
infrastructure. The inventory will also allow us to better analyze our water quality
issues and begin to target our next phase of stormwater quality work.
The department continued to maintain and repair the town roadways and road edge
areas. Significant time and effort was spent addressing potholes, patching areas of
deteriorated pavement, repairing and improving berms and curbing, repairing
drainage infrastructure, roadside brush cutback and road side mowing.
The department continued to maintain the town drainage system. This work involves
the maintenance of approximately 1500 catch basins and leaching pits and drainage
piping. The department removed 185 tons of material from drainage structures. The
material generated from cleaning the drainage system is a regulated waste material
by the Department of Environmental Protection and its disposal must be permitted
(see below)
136
The Department swept up 423 tons of sand and debris from the roadways and
parking lots in 2016. Similar to catch basin cleanings the disposal of street
sweepings is also regulated by the Department of Environmental Protection. The
Highway Department has secured a permit to construct a new composting facility on
top of the capped landfill. Both catch basin cleanings as well as street sweepings
will be utilized for the facility construction, as permitted by DEP.
During winter operations the Highway Department is responsible for preventing and
addressing icing conditions and the clearing of snow from roadways, town facility lots,
town parking lots, the Nauset Regional Middle School, the Orleans Elementary School
and seven miles of town owned and state owned sidewalks.
In 2016 the department responded to 14 recorded winter storm events, 5 of which were
full plowing events. Many of these storms were of long duration requiring extended
hours for treating the roads. Approximately 1,105 tons of sand/salt mix was used over
the winter.
My sincere gratitude goes to all the staff from the Highway Department, Transfer Station
the Parks and Beaches Department, the Water Department and staff from the
Harbormasters Department for their dedication and support in responding to storms
throughout the winter.
Parks Department
The Parks and Beaches Department continues the all organic program, no pesticides or
herbicides are used for maintenance of all Town properties.
Thanks to all Town Departments for their help and cooperation over the last year, with
special thanks to the Highway, Harbormaster, Police and Fire Departments, as well as
the Parks & Beaches staff for all of their hard work and dedication. Your
accomplishments are appreciated by the taxpayers and visitors.
Tree Department
The Tree Department’s main goal is to protect the Town’s Urban Forest. The duties
and responsibilities associated with roadside trimming, tree planting and tree
maintenance are year-round tasks. The Department continues to focus on a proactive
approach to roadside cutback work to remove and regain control over unwanted
vegetation. We identify appropriate plants in the right locations and encourage them.
New trees and shrubs are introduced into areas that are suitable. Then pruning,
watering, weeding and monitoring is done to maximize the health of the system.
Red Oak and White Oak mortality has hit the Cape hard in recent years. In increasingly
alarming numbers we are losing large mature oak trees. The current issue with black
oaks and to a lesser degree the scarlet oaks is the oak gall wasp. The English oaks are
in decline to the disease Phytophthora. It appears that trees in general are suffering due
to the accumulative stresses like drought, salt exposure, and increases in caterpillar
activity (particularly the winter moth). This season we are expecting an unusually high
increase in the Gypsy Moth population. In any case the immediate need is to address
137
the unusual increase in dead and dying trees. Hazardous tree removal will remain the
focus of the Tree Department.
Orleans has a number of mature American elm trees that have survived the Dutch Elm
disease. These trees require annual maintenance in the form of fungicide injections
and careful pruning to improve the long term survival of these heirloom trees. Tracking
existing and introduced trees requires a suitable long term management plan. The first
step is to complete the town-wide tree inventory. At present over 10,000 trees have
been assessed and are available on the Orleans GIS for planning and mapping
purposes. We now have the means to utilize the database in the field and use inventory
for integration of a Vegetation Management Plan. The data is collected on a pad using
Arc- Collector allowing us to work in real time.
Other Notable accomplishments:
The Town of Orleans received the Tree City USA Award from the Massachusetts
DCR Urban and Community Forestry Program. This is the 19th consecutive year that
we have received this prestigious award.
Celebrated Arbor Day on April 29th.
This year’s Arbor Day was held at the Eldredge Park Playground. The DPW, the
Orleans Improvement Association and local residents collaborated the event.
AmeriCorps Cape Cod planted the trees and helped with the construction. A new
shade structure, covered picnic table, and new benches were installed.
The department was awarded an AmeriCorps intern two days a week for one year.
This is the 10th intern the Tree Department has accepted from AmeriCorps Cape
Cod. This individual will continue to work on Tree Inventory and assist with town
projects.
The Tree Department continued coordination with the AmeriCorps volunteer group
program. Some of the worksite include: Boland Pond, Uncle Harvey’s Pond,
Meredith’s Canyon, Kent’s Point and the bike path.
Eversource (formally known as NSTAR) continues to help the Tree Department with
a town wide hazardous tree removal initiative. They have stepped up their trimming
cycle which impacts our effort to maintain roadways.
AmeriCorps has now worked over 20,000 hours with the Tree Warden.
The Tree Department worked all winter removing large dead trees from Kent’s Point.
Transfer Station:
The Transfer Station is responsible for the management and disposal of the Solid
Waste generated by the Town. Solid Waste and other materials that were collected and
passed through the Transfer Station in 2016 are shown in the following table. Quantities
from 2015 are included for comparison.

gasoline (660 gallons), and antifreeze (220 gallons).
The Transfer Station sponsored the Household Hazardous Waste Collection event
again in 2016. A summary of the materials collected during the event is available at the
Transfer Station or on the Town website.
The Transfer Station generated the following revenue in 2016 (not including sticker
sales): Gate Collections: $92,973, Batteries: $915, Metals: $2,914.
In 2016, the Department also continued to operate and maintain the Landfill Methane
Gas Collection system. The system consists of a series of wells and piping connected to
a flare system that burns the Methane gas being produced by the rubbish under the
Landfill Cap. A significant amount of time, effort and funding is required for this task.
The department is responsible for the maintenance of the Landfill Cap and the
monitoring of the methane gas produced by the trash under the cap and the monitoring
of the groundwater around the perimeter of the cap.
The staff of the Transfer Station is available to discuss any questions or comments
concerning solid waste disposal issues.

HISTORICAL COMMISSION
The Commission met twelve times in 2016.
The Commission hired PAL (Public Archaeology Laboratory) from Pawtucket RI to
Complete the town’s Historic Inventory. Ginny Adams and Quinn Stuart are the
historians the Commission will be working with. The budget is $90,000 and the work will
take about three years.
The Commission decided to hold regular monthly meetings on the second Tuesday of
the month at 4PM in the Skaket Room of Town Hall.
Ron Petersen volunteered to be the liaison to the CPC again this year.
The Commission would like to take on the project of the Historic Markers. Alan
McClennen is working on transferring the marker project to the Commission. Ron
Petersen has been the person doing the research on the various sites and designing
the markers.
Ginny Adams and Quinn Stuart from PAL gave the Commission update reports and
presentations in July, September and November. They said that Orleans has 1,600
properties older than 50 years. 700 are included on area forms. They will research 150
new properties and update 250 forms.
A Preservation Award was presented to Christopher Weiler for the work done on a
house owned by him at 260 Tonset Road.
The Commission applied to the CPC for $10,000 to hire a consultant to assist them with
creating an historic district. Whether it is to be a National Register District or a Local
Historic District has not yet been determined. The Consultant will help the Commission
make that decision.
The Commission reviewed six applications to the CPC under the category of “historic”.
They agreed with the Selectmen and Mr. Ford that the applications were either ineligible
or too early to fund with the exception of their own application.
Four Public Hearings on Demolition:
January 7, 2016 199 Main Street ca.1860 owned by Warren Waugh
Located behind the Nauset Farms building, this building has no historical integrity inside
except a stair railing. The architect Bernadette MacLeod showed the Commission what
the owners want to replace it with—a building of approximately the same proportions.
After a site visit, the commissioners discussed the building. Dorothy Bowmer moved
and Bryant Besse seconded a motion that this house “is not a preferably preserved
historic building” and may be torn down. MOTION PASSED
136 Barley Neck Road ca1770 owned by the estate of Edith Custance
This house was moved from Truro and has two back ells. The estate is asking for
permission to demolish the back ell. The Commissioners toured the house with realtors
Bob Wilkinson and Alison Bevon. Bryant Besse moved and Dorothy seconded a motion
140
that the back ell “is not a preferably preserved historic building” and may be torn down
and rebuilt. MOTION PASSED
After this house sold, the new owners contacted contractor Trevor Kurtz to do
restoration work. He returned to the Commission for permission to change the roofline
and remove the second ell. The Commission again voted that it “is not a preferably
preserved historic building” and changes may be made.
November 8, 2016 David and Elizabeth Short owners
Trevor Kurtz returned to the Commission to say that the new owners now had cost
estimates to restore the building and it was cost prohibitive to restore. They want to
rebuild the house as it was but with a few changes to make it more livable. After much
discussion, it was moved and seconded that the house “is not a preferably preserved
historic building” and may be torn down.
May 5, 2016 89 Portimanicut Road ca 1840 - owner Hollis Shackelford
This house has another half cape connected to the original house by an ell. The house
sits on over four acres with 2 ½ acres subject to a conservation restriction. There is
already another newer house on the site. The new owners want to tear down the house
and build another in a different location on the land. After much discussion, it was
moved and seconded that this house “is not a preferably preserved historic building”
and may be torn down. MOTION PASSED. There was one dissenting vote.
August 7, 2016 209 Main Street Barn house ca 1855
The request is for demolition of the barn. The house has an inventory form but there is
no mention of the barn that appears old. The barn was not maintained by previous
owners and now has too much insect and rot in the post and beam structure to restore.
The owners will rebuild it. After a site visit and discussion, Bryant Besse moved and
Dorothy Bowmer seconded a motion that this barn “is not a preferably preserved historic
building” and may be torn down. MOTION PASSED.

HOUSING AUTHORITY
The Orleans Housing Authority (OHA) owns and manages one hundred one-bedroom
rental apartments (Tonset Woods) for the elderly and persons with disabilities and
eleven units of family housing. We also own four one-bedroom apartments in East
Orleans which were purchased in June 2001 and will remain affordable in perpetuity.
The OHA also administers a state-funded Alternative Housing Rental Voucher Program
(AHVP) which provides rental assistance to people with disabilities and a state-funded
Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP) which provides rental assistance to
individuals and families. We also subsidize the rent for two staffed residences for
persons with mental and physical disabilities. The OHA subsidizes the rent for six of
eight rooms through a federal HUD Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation grant at Canal
House which is a supportive residence for individuals in recovery from substance
abuse. In addition, we serve as property manager for the Eastham Housing Authority
which owns thirteen affordable rental apartments. Finally, the Commissioners thank
Tim Buhler, Executive Director; Allison Thomas, Associate Director; Robert Plausky,
141
Maintenance Supervisor; and Al Fearnley, Maintenance Assistant for their hard work
throughout a changing year.

HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE
This committee reviews applications requesting town funding from nonprofit human
service organizations who serve only Orleans residents or who include Orleans
residents as their clients. There are many agencies that serve different needs of
Orleans residents. The committee is comprised of 5 members who review the
applications and verify their direct service to the residents of Orleans. They present their
recommendations to the Board of Selectmen. If approved by the Board the funding
requests are brought to the voters at the Annual Town Meeting for approval.
In 2017 these agencies received the following amounts:
Alzheimers Support Group $8,000.00
Cape Cod Child Development $2,500.00

MARINE AND FRESH WATER QUALITY TASK FORCE
The Task Force continued to coordinate the activities of many citizen volunteers for
water quality monitoring in Orleans marine embayments and freshwater lakes and
ponds for the sixteenth year.
Sampling of embayments increased to 26 locations on Cape Cod Bay, Nauset
estuary, and Orleans’ portion of Pleasant Bay. Sixty-four volunteers and boats were
recruited, collecting a total of 626 samples on five sampling mornings between July
and early September. They recorded weather conditions and direct readings of
water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and clarity. Samples are sent to the
School for Marine Science and Technology, UMass, Dartmouth (SMAST).
142
Eastham agreed to sample six locations in Nauset estuary to reactivate stations
done in early 2000’s. Orleans sampled nine others. The Task Force provided the
mentoring and training for this cooperative effort with Eastham. The reactivation of
all these monitoring stations will allow for comparison of nitrogen and other
parameters to those done 16 years ago and to accurately fine-tune current
wastewater planning efforts.
SMAST also reported on a study of Nauset inlet, the volume of water passing
through it and the nitrogen carried on outgoing and incoming tides. The nitrogen
levels are similar to those at the Chatham break. This verifies assumptions used in
the Massachusetts Estuary Project report for Nauset Harbor.
Nitrogen from septic systems continues to stress the marine environment resulting in
unhealthy levels of algae growth and low dissolved oxygen levels particularly in
terminal salt ponds and enclosed embayments.
Volunteer freshwater lake and pond monitoring is coordinated with the Center for
Coastal Studies and PALS (Pond and Lake Stewardship) project of the Cape Cod
Commission and SMAST. Samples were collected from 17 freshwater ponds in spring
and late summer. Water quality in many ponds continues to decline and ponds were
additionally stressed by drought conditions. Low water levels were reported along with
measurements of clarity, water temperature and dissolved oxygen. Most ponds do not
meet state standards for water clarity and dissolved oxygen during the summer.
Citizens are urged to utilize the guidelines of the fertilizer bylaw to reduce nutrient runoff
impact on all waterways.
The Task Force completed a study at Boland Pond to determine the sources of
nutrients in stormwater draining into the pond. The resulting report from SMAST is due
in 2017.
The management plan for Cedar Pond is on hold while a regulatory review takes place
at the Commonwealth level. The Town continues to work with Eversource to move their
powerlines spanning the pond which were used as a roost by over 800 double-crested
cormorants this summer. The Task Force documented cormorant usage, provided
historical data on Cedar Pond, and a review of Eversource options to the board of
selectmen.
Task Force members continue to serve as liaisons to the Water Quality Advisory Panel
which is studying wastewater options for Orleans. Members also serve on work groups
on aquaculture, permeable reactive barriers, and freshwater pond management. The
channel dredging work group is also being monitored.
In the winter of 2010-2011, the Task Force sampled streams entering Namskaket marsh
in cooperation with US Geologic Survey. The results of that study were recently
released showing no impact to the marsh from the nearby Tri-Town Septage Treatment
Facility.
A Renter’s Guide to the Natural Resources of Orleans, MA published by the Task
Force was circulated again to summer visitors by the Chamber of Commerce and local
real estate offices. The brochure urges visitors to explore Orleans’ natural environment
while caring for its fragile resources. Copies are available at Town Hall. Electronic
143
versions are on the Town and Chamber of Commerce websites to share with family and
friends visiting Orleans.
We thank the volunteers who collect data on our estuaries and ponds. Volunteers are
needed each summer to carry out this monitoring. Training is provided to those willing to
walk along a beach or take samples from a boat, kayak or canoe. If interested, please
leave your contact information with the Planning Department at Town Hall. (508-240-

MEMORIAL AND VETERANS DAY COMMITTEE
The general charge of the Committee shall be to plan, organize and oversee
ceremonies and events honoring our veterans on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. To
carry out the committee’s charge they work closely with:
American Legion Post 308
Brewster VFW
Marine Corp Detachment
Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts of America
Nauset Regional School band and Chorus
Currently we are identifying additional events and presentations to honor veterans and
will work with the Board of Selectman to support those events. One project that is
currently under review is to enhance and expand the current “Veterans Squares.” These
squares, named in honor of our Orleans veterans, are named tracts of property defining
roadways, (i.e. Barley Neck Road and Pochet Road). They are located throughout town
and maintained by the Park Department. The Committee will continue to work in this
capacity to honor our Veterans, past and present, within the Town of Orleans.

Specific projects for the year were as follows:
Shellfish Propagation Program. During 2016, our Department planted 323,000 quahogs
in the Nauset and Pleasant Bay estuaries. The Department also raised 160,000 oysters
that were received through the Barnstable County Shellfish Propagation Grant Program.
Additionally, in cooperation with the Orleans Pond Coalition, our department continued
a project growing approximately 40,000 oysters which were initially reared in an up-
weller located at Arey’s Pond Boat Yard. In combination with these two grow efforts, the
Town direct planted approximately 185,000 oysters in the waters of the Town in the late
fall. Facility Improvements. In the fall of 2016, the Rock Harbor bulkhead project was
started. In the winter of 2016, the staircase at Doane Landing was replaced.
I would like to express my sincerest thanks to those residents and town employees who
so greatly assisted us during 2015. Specifically, I would like to thank Department of
Public Works Director Tom Daley, Fire Chief Anthony Pike, Deputy Fire Chief Geoff
Deering, Police Chief Scott MacDonald, Deputy Police Chief Sean Diamond, Lieutenant
Kevin Higgins, Water Superintendent Todd Bunzick and DPW Manager Frank Nichols
and their staff for their constant help and support in our effort to keep the shoreline and
waterways of Orleans safe and sound. I would also like to thank the members of the
Shellfish and Waterways Advisory Committee for their dedicated efforts at preserving
the marine resources of the town. Our Department owes great gratitude to the Orleans
Conservation Commission for allowing us to use 141 Portanimicut Road for the location
of our office. I wish to express as always my gratitude to my assistants, Gardner
Jamieson and Greg Normandy, for their hard work and overall commendable
performance in their respective positions.

NAUSET REGIONAL SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Nauset High School remains a Level 1 school and continues to attract students from all
over the Cape. At Nauset High School, MCAS scores were once again excellent with
99% of the 10th Grade ELA students scoring advanced or proficient. 94% of our 10th
Grade Math students scored advanced or proficient. 89% of our 9th Grade Science Intro
to Physics students scored advanced or proficient. Nauset Regional Middle School had
the highest percentage of students scoring proficient or advanced in Grade 8 Science of
all Cape Cod Schools. Nauset Middle School had the highest percentage of students in
the proficient and advanced categories in Math and ELA, when compared with similar
school across Massachusetts. Our highly-qualified and caring staffs continue to inspire
our students to reach their potential and beyond.
The Capital Asset Subcommittee continues to meet with Business Office staff to identify
priority items that need repair. The Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA)
visited the Nauset High School campus and were very impressed by the programming
and student learning taking place. The School Committee hopes that a large building
renovation project will take place sometime in the near future for the 40 year old
classrooms and buildings. Our staff and students deserve a facility that is geared for
21st century teaching and learning. We continue to meet with Town Officials to keep
them informed as we continue through the process. We hope that February brings a
“thumbs up” from the Massachusetts School Building authority.
147
The Nauset Endowment Foundation is a non-profit organization that promotes shared
physical resources and would like to be a “bridge that connects school and community.”
NEF would like to donate funds for improving the auditorium at the Nauset Regional
Middle School. In the future, they would like to create an endowment in the form of
mini-grants to provide teachers with resources for enrichment opportunities for students.
We are incredibly grateful to the Nauset Endowment Foundation for assisting our
schools in this most generous way.
The Police Chiefs continue to work with Administration on security plans across the
District. Presently schools are purchasing Visitor Registration software to provide an
instant check on persons visiting our schools. We thank the Chiefs and their officers for
all their efforts in keeping our students safe.
Our Substance Abuse Task Force, chaired by Dr. Ann Caretti, Director of Student
Services in Nauset, continues to meet regularly and is presently working on surveys for
Middle and High School students that would assist administrators, teachers and parents
in identifying areas of concern. Through collaboration with many local agencies, they
are working diligently to research appropriate educational programs available to
students and parents in our community to deal with substance abuse and peer
pressure, as well as, assisting in finding resources to help those in need. Counselors,
teachers, and administrators are working to assist students in their decision-making
skills and one of their top priorities is how to prevent addiction.
The International Student Subcommittee, made up of students, teachers, admin-
istrators, school committee members and community members, has created an
International Student Center at the High School for students to gather for International
learning. Students at Nauset High School will benefit from interaction with the
International students and will enhance their global education. The Superintendent is
very interested in working with other schools and building relationships around the
world.
For anyone interested in following what is happening in our schools, Lower Cape TV,
Channel 22, has created an education channel managed by the nonprofit community
organization. We thank Teresa Martin for assisting us in our efforts to reach our
communities showcasing all that Nauset has to offer. The Superintendent initiated a
“community week” and citizens were invited into our schools to see the teaching and
learning that takes place each and every day. If you have not been in a school in a
while, take the opportunity to visit by scheduling an appointment. You will be amazed by
our staffs and our students!
We thank our citizens for supporting the best education for all our children and our
continued commitment to excellence.

OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE
In 2016, the Town made two open space purchases. The first was 2.5 acres abutting
the Pah Wah point Town Landing at the end of Portanimicut Road. The second was a
1.96 acre parcel abutting the 48 acre John Kenrick Woods previously purchased by the
Town for Open Space. The sellers of both properties generously accepted prices below
their market value.
The Committee continues working to identify and prioritize opportunities to acquire
and/or protect additional open space in Town. This is primarily done by fee acquisition
and conservation restrictions. There is a growing interest in properties that would
improve access to and use of the Town’s waterways by our residents.
The Orleans Comprehensive Plan charges the Committee with the primary task of
helping to preserve 400 or more acres “using Land Bank and (Town) budget
appropriated funding, plus private funding.” In addition to the 4.46 acres purchased by
the Town in 2016, The Orleans Conservation Trust, a private non-profit organization,
acquired an additional 3.84 acres. Since the formulation of the OCP objective in 1999,
351.55 acres of land have been protected, or 88% of the 20-year goal.
The Committee has focused on achieving the 400-acre goal in the most cost effective
way possible. Partnerships, grants and inter municipal agreements have been used to
our advantage. We remain focused on achieving the Town goal in a timely manner. We
invite input and information from all of our residents. Opportunities usually present
themselves once and then are gone forever. Timely information often makes all the
difference.

Mefford Runyon, Chairman

PERSONNEL ADVISORY BOARD
The Personnel Advisory Board is responsible for holding a public hearing on any
amendments to the Orleans Personnel Bylaw that will come before the voters at Town
Meeting, including changes to the classification and compensation plans of employees
covered under the Personnel Bylaw. The Board may also provide assistance with salary
and benefits studies and mediate non-union employee grievances. In 2016 the
members of the Personnel Advisory Board were Kenneth Rowell, Kevin Galligan, and
Rolf Soderstrom.
The Board held a public hearing at 3:00 p.m. on April 22, 2016 to review proposed
amendments to the Personnel Bylaw, specifically a 2 percent cost of living wage
increase for non-union employees covered under the Bylaw, the addition of a new
position, Beach Director, to Classification Plan B, and the elimination of an hourly wage
which was less than the state minimum. The Board voted 2-0-0 to recommend the
proposed amendments to Town Meeting. The amendments were presented to the
voters as Article 35 in the May 9 Annual Meeting warrant, and approved unanimously.
Respectfully submitted,

PLEASANT BAY ALLIANCE
The Pleasant Bay Alliance (www.pleasantbay.org) is an organization of the Towns of
Chatham, Orleans, Harwich, and Brewster charged with implementing the Pleasant Bay
Resource Management Plan. The plan encompasses the Pleasant Bay Area of Critical
Environmental Concern (ACEC) and Pleasant Bay watershed. The Alliance develops
public policy recommendations, technical studies and public education tools to support
the Bay’s natural resources and safe public enjoyment of the Bay. Highlights from 2016
are listed below:
The Pleasant Bay Citizen Water Quality Monitoring Program completed its 17th
monitoring season. Trained volunteers collected samples at 25 bay-wide sites. Data
from the monitoring program are used in local and regional nutrient management
planning. The Alliance worked with the Coastal Studies Program-School for Marine
Science and Technology at UMASS-Dartmouth to undertake an ecological assessment
of statistical trends in the multi-year water quality data.
The Alliance continued its work with the Cape Cod Commission and MassDEP to
spearhead a watershed approach to nutrient management. A presentation on the
analysis was given to the Board of Selectmen in the spring, and a draft composite
154
nitrogen management analysis was completed in December. This effort is intended to
identify opportunities to increase cost effectiveness and foster regional cooperation
among efforts to reduce nutrient loads in Pleasant Bay. The Alliance participated as a
liaison group to the Orleans Water Quality Advisory Panel.
The Alliance continued development of guidelines for managing shoreline erosion, with
the release of draft guidelines expected in 2017. The Alliance also continued tide level
monitoring in concert with the Center for Coastal Studies. The Alliance began work with
the Center for Coastal Studies on a study to assess the effects of Sea Level Rise on the
barrier beach and inner shoreline of Pleasant Bay. Also in 2016, the Alliance sponsored
the placement of two acoustic receivers to monitor tagged shark activity at the entrance
to Pleasant Bay.
The Alliance wishes to thank the citizens of Orleans for your ongoing support.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
I am pleased to submit to the citizens of Orleans the Police Department’s Annual Report
for 2016. Our organization has enjoyed tremendous support from the Board of
Selectmen, Town Administrator and the citizens we proudly serve. It is with this support
that we are able to move forward with many of our strategic priorities and provide police
services that enhance safety and the quality of life in the Town of Orleans.
During this past year, four new employees were hired by the police department. Hannah
Greene was hired as our new Public Safety Dispatcher, John Mellin, Alexander Cutts
and Neil Bohlin were hired as our newest Patrol Officers. Our department takes great
pride in recruiting and hiring the very best candidates to serve the Town of Orleans, and
I’m confident that our newest additions will complement our organization very well.
We continue to strive to attain the organizational goals identified in the department’s five
year comprehensive strategic plan. In 2016, two new features were added to the plan. A
“Report Card” was created to document the progress made towards the completion of
specific objectives. In addition, “Key Performance Indicators” were identified to measure
progress toward the broader goals of the department. I encourage you to visit our
website and review our new measurement tools supporting the department’s five year
strategic plan.
In 2016 the police department responded to and/or investigated 14,689 calls for service;
108 major motor vehicle crashes resulting in injury or property damage over $1,000;
200 arrests or criminal applications and 3,921 traffic stops. A detailed activity
breakdown is located at the end of this report.
The Orleans Police Department’s policing philosophy has a strong emphasis on
community engagement. Over the past year police personnel have continued to expand
the department’s communication strategies to cultivate positive interactions with the
155
community. Our newsletter, “The Beat,” and the department’s social media presence
have proven to be exceptional methods for reaching our community members and
visitors alike.
As noted earlier in this report, we are grateful for the external support the police
department receives form local public officials and community members; however,
I truly believe that our employees are our most valuable resource and our best and
brightest hope for the future. It is through the efforts of the dedicated men and women
who serve this community that our success will ultimately be defined.

RENEWABLE ENERGY COMMITTEE
The Orleans Capped Landfill Solar PV facility has been operational for all of 2016. This
is a 574 KW (DC) facility and has been producing on average about 56,000 kWh per
month or 676,000 kWh annually. The town has been receiving energy credits
throughout the year, resulting in a total savings of about $42,000 for the year. For an up
to date report on the electrical output on a monthly basis, log on to:
www.cvecinc.org/photovoltaic-installation-updates and scroll down to “Orleans capped
landfill site”.

In late 2015 Orleans selected Borrego Solar as the developer to supply us with Net
Metering Credits (NMC) for a new project. Borrego had multiple active projects at that
time. Since we had to get final approval at the May 2016 town meeting, we missed the
due date for the Carver project and had to move on to the Freetown project. This is a
5.4 MW project and Orleans has signed up for about 10% of the total project or 750,000
kWh. The approximate savings to the town will be about $38,000 per year. This Solar
PV Array became operational in late 2016. Eversource and Borrego are finalizing the
documentation so it can start producing electricity. Orleans should be receiving NMC in
early 2017. You can see a photo below.
As a result of these two projects, Orleans has signed up for NMC totaling about 90% of
our annual electrical load.
The capital plan for Orleans involves three major “proposed “projects, which will impact
the electrical energy usage for the town in the future. Construction on the new Police
Facility began in late Dec. OREC will be monitoring these plans and studying the
available sources of energy that may be required as we move forward.
New technologies and suppliers of renewable energy are coming on line frequently. The
OREC has been actively reviewing the news releases, visiting sites, and investigating
the potential for Orleans to create its own solar site in the future. We estimate that a
new source of energy for the town may be needed in the next 3-4 years. Since there is
not much available land for new sites, solar sites such as “Carports” are becoming very
popular in Mass. If the town were to self-fund this type of project, all of the energy
credits would go to the town.
OREC has begun to re-investigate the process for Orleans to become a Green
Community. 155 out of the 351 towns in MA have become Green Communities. Since
its introduction in 2008 the Dept of Energy Resources (DOER) has awarded over $32M
to green community towns for energy saving projects.
We have an experienced and active group of members on our committee and will
continue to provide the town with qualified energy solutions in the coming years.

SHELLFISH AND WATERWAYS IMPROVEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
In its advisory capacity, the committee serves as a resource to the Town Administrator,
Board of Selectmen (BOS), Natural Resource Manager-Harbormaster/Shellfish
Constable and other town boards and committees, for issues related to preserving,
protecting, managing, and enhancing our natural resources such as finfish, shellfish and
public waterways.
The Committee continued its active support of the town's Pilgrim Lake Volunteer Herring
Count Program, now in its 9th year, and we thank the over 60 volunteer herring
counters for their efforts and continued dedication to this important monitoring effort.
Over 400 counts were conducted by volunteers between March 25 and May 31.
Compared to the most recent years, where a total of only 300-400 herring each year
were visually counted, this year volunteers counted over 1,500 herring. MA State
Division of Marine Fisheries calculated that the estimated run size for 2016 was 19,648
(+/- 4,216) herring, compared to 2015 which was calculated at only 4,245 herring (+/-
2,638). This is a significant increase. Only 14 runs on Cape Cod have count programs.
Our run was one of only two runs on the Cape that showed an increase in run size. Our
count totals for the Pilgrim Lake herring run have continued to increase since the
Orleans count program began in 2008, with this year being the largest.
The Committee also continued to provide the Natural Resources Manager, Nathan
Sears, and Board of Selectmen, with feedback and/or support as needed on a variety of
shellfish and waterways topics. Committee discussions included, but were not limited
to; resource management efforts for Cedar Pond and the Cedar Pond and Pilgrim Lake
herring runs, sharks/public safety, boat access and parking at town landings, Rock
Harbor dredging, Nauset Estuary (dredging study and access), hydraulic shellfish
harvesting, the Nauset Beach Conservation Plan, ocean acidification, shellfish
resources, diseases, and propagation, and topics related to the Town's new shellfish
demonstration projects.
The Committee completed a comprehensive review and revision of the existing Town
Waterways Bylaw, and assisted with implementation of an expanded "no wake zone" in
The River to improve waterways safety and natural resource protection. In addition,
members attended the Annual Meeting for the River Herring Network, and continued to
serve as Liaisons on the Orleans Water Quality Advisory Panel (OWQAP), or members
of the newly formed OWQAP Shellfish Demonstration Projects-Working Group.
Respectfully submitted,
Judith Scanlon, Chairwoman
SITE PLAN REVIEW COMMITTEE
The committee provides guidance on development proposals to improve design and
assist developers in the understanding of the local permitting process. In 2016, 17
meetings were held. There were a total of 16 Informal Site Plan Reviews and 6 Formal
Site Plan Reviews as well as discussions and status updates.
Site Plan Review Committee members represent the following departments: Building,
Conservation, Fire, Health, Highway/DPW, Planning, and Water.

SNOW LIBRARY
It has been a year of many achievements for the Snow Library due to the efforts of the
enthusiastic staff, and our active and engaging Friends of the Snow Library’s programs.
Staff: For the first time in several years the library achieved full staffing filling the
positions of Assistant Director and Principal Clerk during the year. Some job
descriptions have been updated to better meet the current expectations of people using
the library. The staff participates in ongoing training to stay up-to-date on the technology
needs of people using the library for research, personal correspondence, and
participating in the popular Lifelong Learning series provided by the Friends of the Snow
Library.
Building: The 65 year-old building continues to challenge both staff and users as the
infrastructure breaks down and must be repaired. The roof continues to leak despite
efforts to stem the tide of damaged ceiling tiles. We appreciate the ongoing efforts of
Ron Collins to keep the building useable for the library program and protect the many
valuable library materials housed in the building. We particularly appreciate the work
done this year to update the HVAC systems and handicapped access to the building. A
Facilities Advisory Committee is exploring options to update the library facility by
meeting with local groups working on the plans to upgrade the Main Street area and
other towns that have built new libraries in recent years.
Technology: While the dated infrastructure of the building limits some of the
technological improvements we see in new library buildings the computers have all
been updated to the current operating system. The Friends have updated the
programming equipment in the Marion Crane Gallery Room and are exploring the
installation of a better broadband to support their programming efforts.
Programs and Services: The full and overflowing parking lot at the library is a testament
to the library’s popularity as a Cultural Center and the interest of our community in
intellectual exploration and popular entertainment. The winter Saturday music programs
funded by the Rowena Myers Trust; and the summer Wednesday evening music series,
sponsored by the Friends of the Snow Library, continue to spark interest in local and
traveling musicians. The Lifetime Learning Series sponsored and coordinated by the
Friends offers over 15 topical series in spring and fall terms attracting over 1000
participants in such diverse topics as Climate Change, The Old Song and Dance and
Irish films.
Children’s Librarian, Ann Foster, provides stimulating programs for children and works
with the local schools on programs that support reading for youth. Babies First Year
provides information and social support for new parents, weekly story hours and
children’s craft programs encourage children to explore the library, and special
programs like gaming Saturdays and puppet shows allow children to explore personal
learning projects.
The Marion Crane Gallery hosts monthly shows of the work of local artists and once a
year Fourth grade students create an exhibit of pieces inspired by works in the Cape
Cod Museum of Art in a program sponsored by the Museum, and Snow Library.
162
Statistics: This year 173,437 people visited the library borrowing a total of 168,928 items
from the collection. The Library hosted 505 programs with an attendance of 13,057
people.
Acknowledgements: Snow Library gratefully acknowledges two major gifts in 2016:
$50,000 from the estate of the late Leslie B. Pike and $201,752.14 from the estate of
the late Helen Telfair. Gifts like these enable the Library to provide the highest quality
collections and programs.

Cheryl G. Bryan, Chairperson
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Orleans Elementary School continues to pursue excellence for all students with high
and rigorous expectations for student achievement. We continue our initiative to
integrate technology into instruction and thank you for supporting our efforts in this area.
A large window replacement project was completed this past summer under the
direction of Ron Collins, Town of Orleans Building and Facilities Manager. Thirty-year
old windows were replaced with updated, energy efficient windows. We thank the
townspeople for voting our capital projects that are needed to keep our facilities safe for
our staff and students.
Community partnerships are flourishing at the elementary school. Students visit the
Snow Library for various projects throughout the school year. Cape Cod Museum of Art,
Museum of Natural History, Wellfleet Audubon, AmeriCorps of Cape Cod, Cape Cod
Auxiliary, Cape Cod National Seashore, Cape Cod Symphony, Cape Light Compact,
and Capabilities also partner with the school to enhance the learning environment.
Security continues to be paramount for our schools and this past year the Crisis Go app
was introduced at our schools to provide immediate notification in case of an
emergency. We thank the Police and Fire Chiefs for their support as they continue to
provide drills to ensure the safety of our staffs and students.
Nauset Regional High School and Nauset Regional Middle School students continue to
achieve outstanding MCAS scores. Student growth is evident in all areas and this can
be attributed to our dedicated teaching staff and their tireless efforts to help students
reach their potential and beyond.
This year Nauset Regional High School received the College Board Advance Placement
Achievement Award and has applied for and received approval to continue with the
process for implementing the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. These are
exciting times at Nauset Regional High School with the potential for both IB and AP
programs available for our students. Nauset’s Fine Arts Program continues to bring
accolades to the District with many Boston Globe Scholastic Art Awards and students
performances in the All Cape Jazz Festival. Our students are traveling to various
countries that include Ireland, Germany, Italy and South Africa. Students in the Human
Rights Academy traveled to Belgium and The Hague where they attended the Global
Leadership Human Rights Summit.
163
Nauset Wins, our annual one day a year – school-wide community service event was a
huge success thanks to the efforts of John Schiffner and Mike Sherman who worked
hard in coordinating this community service (give back) event. Staff and students from
the region made a commitment of time and effort to help out neighbors and local
businesses in our communities.
Nauset Regional High School has submitted a Statement of Interest, SOI, to the
Massachusetts School Building Authority to assist with some very substantial needs at
the facility. On November 3rd officials from the MSBA visited the High School campus
and were very impressed with the programming at the school. This is a tribute to the
commitment in our communities for the support of programming and student
achievement for all students. The Capital Asset Subcommittee, working with the
Administration, has met regularly to address and prioritize the needs of the High School
and Middle School.
At Nauset Regional Middle School, the 2015 Science Summer Institute extended into
the school year to be the NRMS Makerspace. Various grants have been obtained to
purchase the 3-D printers and C & C router which enables students to use their
ingenuity to design and create various projects using various mediums. The
Greenhouse continues to provide a learning laboratory for students in all grade levels
and students in Math, Science, Art and English participate in subject-related curriculum
in the greenhouse. The winter’s Farmers Market has provided an opportunity for
students to sell their home-grown vegetables to members of the community. The
Nauset Regional Middle School Music Department received gold medals for Chorus,
Orchestra, Jazz Band and Band at the Great East Music Festival. Technology is
constantly being integrated through the curriculum and students are now using iPad
devices at all grade levels at the Middle School. Students enjoy over 30 clubs and
sports at the Middle School and have an opportunity to go on various trips that include:
New York City Model UN Competition and Mock Trial competitions, Washington, D.C.,
Quebec, and New Hampshire. There are also numerous learning opportunities in our
own backyard at the National Seashore, ponds, beaches and museums that teach
students about our environment and sustainability.
In my second year as Superintendent, I continue to look at all systems and ways the
District can help itself financially. Improving student learning for all students is my focus
and I continue to assist Administration and Staff in this goal. Parent forums have been
held on various issues and in my decision making process for any major change, I will
reach out to all stakeholders as their input is invaluable. I thank the School Committees,
the parents and the community for their unwavering support for education in our
communities. We are so grateful for all the support and assistance we receive from so
many individuals and community groups. I am honored and privileged to be the
Superintendent of the Nauset Public Schools and am committed to continued
excellence in our schools.
My door is always open and I look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas.
Respectfully submitted,
Thomas M. Conrad, Superintendent of Schools

VETERANS’ GRAVES OFFICER
During 2016 the Veterans grave flags were maintained and a new flag was placed on
each grave in the beginning of May for Memorial Day by Howard H Kucks assisted by
eight Orleans residents. As we enter the new year all of the Veterans graves have had
their flags inspected and will be monitored during the winter and spring season. Repairs
and replacements will be made as necessary as the winter continues on to spring.
There were seven new bronze grave markers and flags placed on new graves this past
year. An additional five new bronze markers were placed on veterans graves replacing
broken plastic ones. The cemetery office keeps track of which graves are eligible to
receive a marker and flag. The family of the deceased is asked to provide a copy of the
veteran’s discharge paper (DD-214) to merit a marker and flag.
If you are aware of a missing flag or marker please let me know and I will try to replace
it as soon as possible. If a flag has come detached from the staff please do not remove
the staff as that makes it easier to locate the site for the replacement flag.
Respectfully submitted,
Howard H. Kucks, Veterans’ Graves Officer
VETERANS’ SERVICES
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Orleans:
The following report is of the activities of the Department of Veterans’ Services for
Calendar Year 2016. Our duties are categorized in two basic areas: Benefits and
Services.
Commonwealth Low-income Benefits:
This program is covered and authorized under Massachusetts General Law Chapter
115. It provides financial assistance to honorably-discharged, veterans who establish
need and worthiness and are residents of the Town of Orleans. During the year the
Town, through our office, extended benefits to qualified veterans totaling $26,130 for
housing, food, heat, medical and other related costs. The amount expended was
reimbursed to the Town by the Commonwealth at a rate of 75% of total expenditures.
Federal Benefits and Services:
We assisted veterans and their dependents in obtaining federal, state and local benefits
under the broad umbrella of the Department of Veterans Affairs. These services
included payments for service-connected disabilities, pensions, education, medical,
burial, medals and records. During the year, this office assisted in obtaining $1,260,800
in cash payments for service-injury compensation and disability pensions for Orleans
veterans and their dependents. These alternative sources of income are at no cost to
the Town and greatly reduce the need for the MGL Chapter 115 benefits noted above.
Our objective is to be a one-stop center for all of the benefit needs of both veterans and
their spouses and our staff works very hard to meet that goal. We are anxious and
willing to assist with claims and information for the full range of available services.
We encourage any veteran or dependent of a veteran to contact us at our main office in
Hyannis at 1-888-778-8701 Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. We can
also schedule appointments in one of our offices, at your home or any location that is
best for you. For the convenience of our Orleans veterans, we maintain hours at our
165
Lower Cape office in Harwich on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 9:00 AM to
4:00PM. The phone number is 508-430-7510.
We would like to thank the Town Administrator, Town Accountant, Treasurer, and
Finance Committee for their outstanding support.
Edward F. Merigan, Director and Veterans’ Agent
Wilfred Remillard, Orleans Service Officer

WATER DEPARTMENT
The Orleans Water Department is pleased to provide the following report of happenings
for calendar year 2016.
The Orleans Water Department was once again the recipient of a Massachusetts
Drinking Water Award for being one of the top scorers in the Community Public Water
System category.
166
Though 2016 brought “severe” drought conditions to Massachusetts and the Northeast
and a deficit of between 2-4 inches of rainfall for Cape Cod, USGS monitoring wells
located in the Zone II’s for Orleans indicated that water levels were normal. Because the
Capes aquifer, which is estimated to be four times the amount of water as the Quabbin
Reservoir, is mainly replenished in the winter months, lack of summer rainfall alone
does not create a huge impact. Please check directly with the Water Department Office
for information regarding any potential water restrictions.
The Water Department as a result of an engineering report resulting from annual well
maintenance indicating potential vibration issues at both wells 2 & 3, the water
department combined the work with the previously scheduled maintenance of well #6
and was able to save a considerable amount of money. The Board of Water & Sewer
Commissioners commended the Water Department for their continued ability to save
time and money using innovative methods.
The Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners addressed the following matters in
2016:
Held a public hearing on Wednesday July 20, 2016 to receive public input and
opinion regarding activities within the watershed as outlined in the Watershed
Management Plan and to potentially increase or decrease activities as a result.
Made a recommendation to the Board of Selectmen for a 7% water rate
increases to begin with the August 1, 2016 billing. They further recommended all
necessary future rate increases sufficient enough to fully establish and maintain
stabilization funds for membrane replacement as proposed in the 20-year Asset
Management Plan.
Implemented a pilot study for the cellular water meter reading system which
would reduce the amount of water wasted due to leaks, provide better customer
service, dramatically reduce manpower required to read meters and create the
ability to potentially offer quarterly billing. Customers with a cellular water meter
would be able to track usage and set alerts using a smart phone app or their
home computer.
Throughout the year the Water Department maintained its system maintenance
programs. This includes the inspection, repair and replacement of fire hydrants, well
maintenance, meter replacement program and valve exercising.
We would like to express our appreciation to the Water Department personnel, the other
town departments and the residents of the Town of Orleans for their assistance,
cooperation and support during the past year.

WATER QUALITY ADVISORY PANEL
The Board of Selectmen created the Orleans Water Quality Advisory Panel (OWQAP) in
August 2014. The charge to the panel included the following purposes: a) To guide
studies and assessments, define preferred approaches, seek consensus and build
widespread community support for a customized, affordable water quality management
plan for the Town of Orleans, and b) To undertake targeted watershed outreach, as well
as Town-wide and inter municipal engagement, to maximize involvement, undertaking
and support for the resulting plan and its implementation.
Some of the key objectives for the work of the panel were the following: a) To provide
guidance, review, integration and advice related to the technical, financial and
management studies being conducted by the Town and its consultants; b) To provide
guidance in the prioritization of water quality objectives across the various watersheds,
estuaries and ponds within the Tow; c) To provide a forum for discussion and
agreement on mutually-beneficial inter municipal approaches that may satisfy the needs
and goals of Brewster and Eastham in conjunction with meeting Orleans’ priorities and
objectives; d) To provide guidance and review of financial objectives, affordability, rate
structure, financing options and other fiscal issues related to affordability; e) To provide
guidance and review on the long-term management approach, adaptive management
plan and a phased implementation schedule linked to the financial plan, monitoring of
the performance of initial improvements, results of pilot studies and other key
information as it becomes available; and f) To provide guidance in development of a
regulatory approval strategy and to evaluate options and provide local support related to
the need for regulatory flexibility and other requirements promoting the Town’s priorities
and goals.
The Panel structure was designed as follows: The Panel will consist of several
categories of participants, each of whom will have designated groups and selected
individual representatives with clear roles and responsibilities in the process. 1.
Stakeholder Representatives and Alternates, and 2. Liaisons from key town boards and
commissions, neighboring towns, and regional, state and federal partners.
The following Orleans organizations were invited to nominate one primary and one
alternate to represent them as Stakeholder Representatives. The final appointments
were made by the Board of Selectmen for representation from the following eight
stakeholders: Orleans Pond Coalition, Orleans Water Alliance, Former Orleans CWMP
Committee, Former Orleans Peer Review Committee, Orleans Community Partnership,
Orleans Taxpayers Association, Orleans CAN and the Orleans Chamber of Commerce.
The following groups appointed representatives to serve as Liaisons to the Panel: Town
of Eastham, Town of Brewster, Tri-Town Septage Treatment Facility Board of
Managers, Orleans Conservation Commission, Orleans Marine and Fresh Water Quality
Task Force, Orleans Board of Health, Orleans Board of Water and Sewer
Commissioners, Orleans Finance Committee, Orleans Shellfish and Waterways
Committee, The Pleasant Bay Alliance, The Cape Cod Commission, Massachusetts
DEP, The Cape Cod National Seashore, The US Department of Environmental
Protection and the Brewster Conservation Commission.
The charge to the Panel set up procedures for decision making as follows: The Panel,
to the extent possible, will operate by consensus, which is defined as unanimous
168
concurrence of the primary Stakeholder representatives, or in the absence of a primary,
his or her alternate. Members may also “abstain” or “stand aside.” Abstaining means not
offering consent or endorsement but also not blocking an agreement.
Abstaining/standing aside members will not be counted in determining if consensus has
been reached, but may continue to participate in all discussions of the Panel.
The charge to the panel also established the ground rules for the conduct of Panel
Meetings as follows: All meetings will be conducted in accordance with Massachusetts
Open Meeting Law. They will be open to the public and posted in advance in
accordance with Town procedures. Discussion at the meetings will be conducted
primarily by members of the Panel. There will be a public comment period at least once
during each meeting. Time allowed for public comment will be limited to ensure that
other meeting topics can be covered.
Finally, the charge established standards for Public Outreach and Engagement as
follows: a) All panel meetings will be filmed and televised by Cable Access TV and
footage will be made available to stakeholders and the public subsequent to each
meeting; b) Panel members are also expected to help coordinate and facilitate
meetings, discussions, and gatherings among their constituencies and others within the
town to maximize participation and involvement in the planning process; and c) The
Town of Orleans will post all project materials on a designated webpage, to allow clear
and easy citizen access.
The Orleans Water Quality Advisory Panel met in eleven public meetings during the
past year. All the material from the meetings is posted on the Town of Orleans website
at http://www.town.orleans.ma.us/water-quality-advisory-panel/pages/videos-on-
demand
The panel also created two project work groups which included additional citizen
participation along with technical help from the town’s consultants to implement the first
phases of two non-traditional pilot projects dealing with aquaculture in Lonnie’s Pond
and a Permeable Reactive Barriers at the Nauset Middle School and the former landfill.
Early in the year members participated in two workshops with the Board of Selectmen,
the Planning Board, the Board of Health, the Water and Sewer Commissioners and the
Architectural Review Committee. The workshops confirmed the previously adopted
vision for downtown Orleans which had been supported by town Meeting.
Members of OWQAP have also participated in multiple meetings with both residents
and businesses in the Downtown to consider options for creating a Public/Private
Partnership to help finance the cost of sewering Downtown.
In March 2015, after almost a dozen meetings, OWQAP adopted a Consensus
Agreement - with seven in favor and one abstention – outlining elements to be
considered by the Board of Selectmen on how the town should proceed to clean our
waters. Four members of the Board of Selectmen also supported the agreement. On
April 20, 2016 the OWQAP reviewed the Consensus Agreement and reaffirmed its
support for the Agreement with seven members in favor and the Orleans Citizens Peer
Review Panel representative abstaining. On June 15, 2016, the OWQAP reaffirmed its
support for the agreement as amended, by a vote of 7 in favor and 1 opposed.
At the meeting of August 17, 2016, the OWQAP voted 6-0 with one abstention to
recommend to the Board of Selectmen that they submit and support a warrant
169
article for the Special Town Meeting that would include, among other projects,
funds for bringing the design of the downtown sewer system to an engineering
design of 25% so that several unknown conditions could be better understood.
Town Meeting supported this expenditure followed by the voters approving the debt
exclusion at the polls and work is now well underway on the next phase of this effort
to clean up our ponds and estuaries.
Respectfully submitted,
Alan McClennen, Chairman
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
The purpose of the Board is to hear and decide applications or petitions for Special
Permits or Variances as empowered under the Zoning Bylaws of the Town and the
Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 40A, and to hear and decide appeals from
decisions of the Zoning Administrator.
There were 11 regular open meetings in 2016. A total of 19 applications were
submitted. All applications were heard; none were continued to 2017. Of the 14 Special
Permit applications heard, 14 were granted. Two applications combined Special Permit
and Variance requests; in one a Variance was granted and the request for Special
Permit withdrawn, and in the other, both a Special Permit and a Variance were granted.
Three requests for Variance were heard; one was granted, one was withdrawn, and one
was denied. There was one appeal of the Zoning Enforcement authority, which resulted
