This Book is Dedicated
To The Memory of
Ben Buck
(1957- 2018)
Ben Buck was born, raised and lived in Orleans his entire life. He knew Cape Cod like the back
of his hand. Ben owned and operated an electrician’s business Ben Buck & Sons since 1983. He
got his Electrical License from Cape Cod Regional Technical High School in Harwich. Ben was a
true Cape Codder. As a child, he would go to Rock Harbor to get fish from the charter boats; this
together with a lifelong love for fishing and boating earned him the title of ‘Harbor Rat’.
Whenever Ben had free time, he would spend it on a boat.
Ben’s life was not easy growing up on Cape Cod. He came from a poor family and a long line of
Cape Cod descendants going back to the Mayflower through the Penaman family. He always
tried to help and support his relatives. Ben was also always ready to help his community and
gave as much as he could to those around him. He volunteered his time, money, work and food,
being active in AA, local politics, serving as a deacon at Grace Chapel in Wellfleet and Mid-Cape
Worship Center in Dennis. He also had a nursing home ministry for many years at Wingate in
Hyannis. Ben was an active attendant of town meetings, and always wished the best for Orleans
and Cape Cod. Ben will be missed by the entire region of Cape Cod.

BOARD OF SELECTMEN AND TOWN ADMINISTRATOR
In 2018, 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 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.
• Continued to implement a revised Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan
involving the Planning, Engineering, and Adaptive Management activities necessary to meet
the federally mandated TMDL’s for Orleans’ estuaries.
• Final design funding for the Downtown Sewer Collection, Wastewater Treatment Plant and
Effluent Disposal System was approved by unanimous vote of town meeting.
• Dedicated annual funding for two Trust Funds established to meet the long term needs of
the Town were approved by unanimous votes of town meeting for Other Post-Employment
Benefits (OPEB) for retirees and for affordable housing for families and local workforce.
• Completed negotiations and signed new collective bargaining agreements with three of the
Town's employee union groups.
Also in 2018, Assessor Ken Hull retired and we welcomed new Assessor Brad Hinote and Judi
Wilson returned as Director of the Council on Aging. Finally, Board member Jon Fuller's term
expired and Kevin Galligan was elected in May.
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 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,
Alan McClennen Jr., Chairman John F. Kelly
Board of Selectmen Town Administrator

DIRECTOR OF MUNICIPAL FINANCE
JULY 1, 2017 TO JUNE 30, 2018
I hereby submit my annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 in compliance with
Chapter 41, Section 61 of the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
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, Principal Account Clerk Donna Snow, 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
In accordance with the provisions of section 8-8 of the Orleans Charter, the Board of Selectmen
retained the firm of Powers & Sullivan, LLC to perform an independent audit of the financial activity
of the Town for Fiscal Year 2018.
The audit was conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
A copy of the General Purpose Financial Statements including all notes and additional information
is available for review at the Town Clerk's Office at the Orleans Town Hall or on-line at the Town’s
web site under the Finance Department.
Respectfully submitted,
Cathy L. Doane
Director of Municipal Finance

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 “f ront 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. With the change in the Public Records Law, we have
continued working hard this year so that more information is available electronically through the
website.
A special thank you to my assistant, Kelly Darling for all her continued hard work and dedication
during this year; and especially for continuing to lead the training and implementation of our
online public records program.

Drive-in, Drive-through or similar pick

or to take any other action relative thereto (Planning Board). (2/3 Vote Required)
PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on January 9, 2018. 23 people were in
attendance. The Board voted 5-0-0 to recommend approval of the amendment.
This article will fill a gap in the bylaw that was revealed when CVS proposed to locate a
drive-thru window on the West Road side of Skaket Corners on the former Hearth & Kettle
site. The proposal would have created a vehicle-oriented business and interfered with
people walking to the store. The project was ultimately withdrawn, but highlighted the need
to address drive-thru proposals.
Drive-thrus are currently prohibited in the Village Center District under Section 164-19.1. The
proposed bylaw amendment would allow drive-thrus in the Limited and General Business
Districts only by Special Permit, with specif ic requirements:
•Drive-thru is ancillary to the main walk-in use
•It does not impede pedestrian safety or convenience
•The drive-thru cannot be located on the street side of a building
•Architectural Review approval is required.
The Planning Board thinks that under these conditions, drive-thru facilities should be allowed.
MOTION: To accept and adopt Article #41 as printed in the warrant.
ACTION: Voice voted, motion carries by the necessary 2/3 majority.
ARTICLE 42. AMEND ZONING BYLAW 164-24 – SOIL REMOVAL
To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning Bylaws, Section 164-24 Soil Removal, to
add a new subsection to read as follows:
Bold underline = new language strikethrough = language removed
§164-24 Soil Removal and Filling
A. No top soil, gravel, loam or stone in the Town may be removed to be
transported outside the Town of Orleans, except from established pit, stockpile
or surplus, unless authorized by a special permit from the Board of Appeals.
B. No top soil, sub soil, gravel, loam, sand, stone, or other earth in the Town may
be removed to be transported eithe r outside the Town or from place to place
within the Town of Orleans, nor may any land be filled unless the entire area of
such removal or filling be graded and replanted with soil improving plants, with
84
a permanent cover crop or by reforestation so that a ny scars resulting from
such removal shall not remain unplanted for a period of longer than six months,
with the exception of the Town Disposal Area.
Any fill material added to land within the Town must be clean, and free of
hazardous materials. The filling must be completed within six (6) months
of commencement, and any new filling of land on the same parcel shall
not be commenced for a period of two (2) years from the time of
completion of the original filling activity.
C. Removal or filling of top soil, gravel, loam, sand or stone which exceeds
2,000 cubic yards in volume shall require the granting of a Special Permit
from the Zoning Board of Appeals. In reviewing a Special Permit
application, the Board shall require the following:
1. A professionally prepared, stamped plan shall be submitted showing
existing and proposed topography, elevation of seasonal high ground
water, quantities of material to be removed or filled, proposed drainage,
and a replanting plan. A schedule of proposed activities must be
provided.
2. No excavation may be closer than 10 feet to the seasonal high groundwater
table.
3. No Special Permit shall be issued for more than three years.
4. Proposed methods to control noise and dust. Hours of operation shall be
limited to between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
5. Filling with debris, stumps, or hazardous materials is prohibited.
or to take any other action relative thereto (Planning Board). (2/3 Vote Required)
PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on January 9, 2018. 23 people were in
attendance. The Board voted 5-0-0 to recommend approval of the amendment.
This amendment is brought in response to expressed concerns that the Town regulations on
soil removal and filling are not sufficiently protective of the community. Currently, the Town
has no volume limitations or time limits on soil removal or filling activities. The bylaw requires
that any removed or filled land area must be graded and planted with “soil improving plants”
within 6 months of commencement of the activities. There is no permit required, which
makes it difficult to determine the date of commencement.
What is proposed are two additions to the bylaw:
1. Fill may not contain any hazardous materials, and f illing must be completed within 6
months, and shall not be recommenced for 2 years after completion.
2. Removal or filling which exceeds 2,000 cubic yards shall require a Special Permit, the
granting of which has several conditions
• A plan is required showing existing and proposed topography, quantities, and a
replanting plan.
• No excavation may be nearer than 10 feet to the groundwater table.
• Noise and dust must be controlled.
85
•Hours of operation are limited to 7AM to 5PM.
This amendment is responsive to the expressed concerns of neighbors who experienced the
filling of land by an abutter over a period of time and think that it needs to be better regulated.
MOTION: To accept and adopt Article #42 as printed in the warrant.
ACTION: Voice voted, motion carries by the necessary 2/3 majority.

§164-13. A Special Permit for apartments shall be granted only in accordance
with Subsections B through F of this section and only upon the specific findings
being made by the Board of Appeals:
(8) A copy of any Special Permit application under this section shall be filed with
the Planning Board when the application is filed with the Town Clerk, and the
Planning Board shall review it and make recommendations to the Board of
Appeals within forty-five (45) thirty-five (35) days of the filing date. The Board
of Appeals shall consider any such recommendation in its review of the project.
or to take any other action relative thereto (Planning Board). (2/3 Vote Required)
PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on March 27. 15 people were in attendance. There
were no comments this proposal. The Board voted 5-0-0 to recommend approval of the article.
This housekeeping amendment adjusts the time period for the Planning Board to make a
recommendation to the ZBA to 35 days, as required by state law.

VC District: 20,000 0 s.f. of contiguous buildable upland
or to take any other action relative thereto (Planning Board). (2/3 Vote Required)
PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on March 27. 15 people were in attendance. The
Board heard comments in support of the article. The Board voted 5-0-0 to recommend your
approval of the article as printed in the Warrant.
This amendment reduces the minimum lot size for apartments in the Village Center District to
zero. Orleans, as we all know, needs residential dwellings, but not necessarily more
commercial space spread around the district. Under this proposal, the number of apartments
would be based on lot size, calculated by the Village Center density allowance of up to 10
units per acre. A half-acre parcel could have 5 units, and so on. Presently, half of the
parcels in the Village Center are less than the 20,000 s.f., meaning they could not apply for a
Special Permit for apartments.
It is an established Town goal to improve the residential component of the Village Center
District. We’ve studied this area extensively, and voters have consistently agreed that the
Village Center is the Town’s core district for future residential growth.
During the public hearing, the Plannin g Board considered reducing lot size in other zoning
districts along Route 6A. Those districts are not as well studied, and we did not have a
consensus to move forward on other districts at this time.
The Planning Board recommends your approval of the article to allow additional residential
development in the Village Center District.

ARTICLE 51. DESIGNATE END OF PORTANIMICUT ROAD AS PAW WAH LANDING,
AND DESIGNATE 141 PORTANIMICUT ROAD AS SMITH BEACH – BY PETITION
To see if the Town will vote to:
Officially name the public landing at the end of Portanimicut Road in South Orleans “Paw
Wah Landing”, and that the 141 Portanimicut property purchased by the Town in 2016
officially be named "Smith Beach". The naming of the 141 Portanimicut property as "Smith
Beach" would acknowledge the generosity of the Smith/Gilmore Family. This parcel of land
has been known to the local community as Smith Beach for many, many years. Naming the
town landing "Paw Wah Landing" rather than the family name of the donors would
acknowledge the "legend of Pompmo", referred to as a Medicine Man (Pompmo is the
Native American term for "medicine man"), and Pompmo is thought to have resided at the
end of Portanimicut Road. This naming would also be in keeping with Pa w Wah Pond and
Paw Wah Conservation Area that is directly across from the landing.
Naming the landing Paw Wah Landing is acknowledgement enough of the generosity of the
two families, the Bergers and the Smiths, whose donation of property allowed for the
bulkhead and launching ramp to be built giving the comm unity at large access to Little
Pleasant Bay. These donations of land, where the bulkhead and launching ramp are located,
were done without any compensation in any f orm in 1960. The value to the community of
having access to Pleasant Bay is immeasurable in monetary terms. It is important that we as
a community continue to acknowledge and maintain the historical value and legacy of the
people that resided here long before any who reside here now;
or to take any other action relative thereto. (2/3 Majority Vote Required)

PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on September 11, 2018. 26 people were in
attendance. The Board voted 5-0-0 to recommend approval of the amendment.
This article would authorize Marijuana Establishments in the business districts of Orleans.
Let me state at the outset that this article does not change medical marijuana
establishments, which are regulated separately under the bylaw. Nor does it have any effect
on personal use which is allowed under state law.
Last May, voters rejected an article that would have prohibited Recreational Marijuana
businesses in the town. Since that time, the Planning Board held 7 public meetings, and
received input from dozens of individuals who helped us understand their perspective
regarding marijuana businesses. In all, more than 150 people participated in the meetings
and two public hearings. Articles 7 and 8 are the culmination of that process.
Marijuana Establishments are heavily regulated by the state through its Cannabis Control
Commission:
• The applicant must hold a community outreach meeting to explain the proposal
before applying to the state.
• Background checks are required for those involved in the business.
• Adequate security equipment and procedures must be demonstrated.
In addition to state requirements, the proposed article will allow Marijuana Establishments
in business districts by Special Permit. The allowed districts would be the General and
Limited Business Districts and the Industrial District. In the Village Center, only Marijuana
Retailers, and Research or Testing facilities would be allowed. Any application will require
a public hearing with abutters notified, and comments or concerns can be incorporated into
the decision of the Board of Appeals.
Under this article, the number of retail Establishments would be limited to three town-wide,
below ½ the number of liquor stores. The legality of marijuana businesses is new; the
Planning Board wished to keep the total number limited to ensure that there are adequate
controls. Future Town Meetings can change the number, up or down, if it so chooses.
ACTION: Voice voted, article passes by necessary 2/3 majority.

ARTICLE 8. AMEND ZONING BYLAW CHAPTER 164-13, SCHEDULE OF USE

To see if the Town will vote to amend th e Town's Zoning Bylaw by altering the entry entitled

In addition to the other special permit requirements in Section 164-40.4 E, the cultivation

abutting properties, and shall not allow any direct lighting to spillover to adjacent

Or to take any other action relative thereto. (2/3 Vote Required)
MOTION: To accept and adopt Article #8 as printed in the warrant.
PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on September 11, 2018. 26 people were in
attendance. The Board voted 5-0-0 to forward the article to the Town Meeting, but by a vote of
1-4-0 did not recommend its approval. Simply put, the Planning Board felt that the voters of
the town should have opportunity to make the decision on this issue, even though the
members as a whole did not favor its passage.
This article addresses the question of allowing Marijuana Cultivators in the Residential District.
Article 7 addressed the broad issue of Marijuana Establishments being permitted. Article 8
would allow small Marijuana Cultivation businesses to be located in the business districts in
which other Marijuana Establishments are permitted, AND also in the Residential District.
This was a question that the Planning Board wrestled with over the summer. We heard
comments from our local farmers that some would like the option of growing cannabis in order
to survive financially. We also heard comments from homeowners who expressed concerns
about allowing a controlled substance to be grown in residential neighborhoods. We were also
mindful of the significant security requirements including fencing, video cameras and lighting –
Is such a facility appropriate in a residential neighborhood?
The question is before the Town Meeting to be answered tonight.
104
The proposal before you focused on addressing possible impacts, to protect neighborhood
character and property values. In addition to the requirements that were described in Article 7, a
cultivator in the Residential District would have to meet the following additional criteria:
•The cultivated area in a Residential District would be limited to no more than 5% of total
lot area; This would equal 2,000 s.f. on a conforming 40,000 s.f. lot;
•Cultivation is limited to the property owner on owner-occupied property;
•Outdoor open air cultivation is prohibited; only greenhouse/indoor cultivation is allowed.
•Cultivated area must be 25 feet from lot lines;
•Natural screening is required, and
•There may not be any direct lighting spillover to adjacent properties.
The Planning Board had concerns about allowing Marijuana Cultivators to locate in the
Residential District. We tried our best to consider potential impacts on neighboring properties
and address those impacts. We also need your thoughtful consideration when looking at parity
with current business operations in residential districts, like the right to farm, to store fishing and
other work equipment, to have home occupations and the right to rent out rooms and roofs for
business income. We heard impassioned testimony that farmers want and need the opportunity
to grow marijuana. But, cultivation in a residential district can only be decided collectively by us
as residents. We bring you this article and look forward to your decision.
MOTION: To move the question.
ACTION: Voice voted, passes by necessary 2/3 majority.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE
In 2018, the Town took a major step forward by authorizing an Affordable Housing Trust and
providing annual funding to support the creation of affordable housing to meet community
needs. The Trust board is expected to be appointed in early 2019, and will enable the Town to
act quickly on real estate and other housing opportunities.
The Affordable Housing Committee also supported zoning amendments to allow more
apartments in the Village Center District. Several members of the committee attended the Cape
Cod Housing Institute to learn more about how they can be effective at increasing housing
opportunities.
The Committee saw the completion of an affordable apartment on Old Tote Road. A
construction start on Cape Cod Village, a multi-dwelling facility for 15 autistic adults, is expected
in January 2019. The committee is presently working with the Board of Selectmen to assess the
conversion of the Cape Cod Five Operations Center into affordable housing.
Respectfully submitted,
Katherine Wibby, Chair
AGRICULTURAL ADVISORY COUNCIL
The Council represents the Town’s agricultural community. Its charge includes advising and
collaborating with boards and committees, and other local organizations on matters consistent
with the Agricultural Task Force Final Report and the Orleans Comprehensive Plan.
In 2018 the Council continued to work with the Conservation Department. A big step forward
was the leasing of the first five farming plots at Putnam Farm.
Reports and/or recommendations were made to the Planning Board and to the Board of
Selectmen regarding cannabis cultivation.
The Council continues its long-term project of local implementation of the New England Food
Vision (foodsolutionsne.org/new-england-food-vision), which would increase the total area in
small farming to 60 acres (approx. 0.75 of 1% of total Orleans area).
In the future, demand for high-quality, locally-grown fruits and vegetables will continue to
expand. The presence of small farms in Orleans will enhance the attractiveness of the town,
enhance the economy, preserve traditional skills, and maintain a living link with our Cape Cod
heritage.
Respectfully submitted,
David Light, Chairman

ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE
There were 18 meetings held in 2018. Eight sign applications were reviewed. Fifteen exterior
alteration applications were reviewed. Four hundred and twenty-five dollars were collected in
fees.

Joy Cuming, Chairperson
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 on Cape Cod is
represented by a Delegate elected by Town voters, ensuring a local voice on countywide issues.
Delegates serve two-year terms. An election was held in November 2018, and Chris Kanaga is
the Orleans Representative.
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, in Barnstable Village. Each Delegate’s vote
is weighted 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%.
In general, the County government deals with regional issues; issues that affect all towns on the
Cape. As the County's legislative branch, the Assembly deals with setting priorities among the
many activities of County Government, including dredging our waterways, testing our water and
food quality, funding the child advocacy center, supporting programs for the homeless, opioid
addiction, and other human service needs, collection of hazardous materials, and mosquito, tick
and disease control, managing transportation, affordable housing, and senior programs,
renewable farming and marine resources, and providing fire training.
Various Standing Committees of the Assembly review budgets, ordinances, and planning
initiatives. The Standing Committee on Finance, in addition to the task of reviewing the County
budget, assesses all County activities 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. The
Standing Committee on Economic Affairs is involved in the County’s Economic Development
Council, managing the revenues received from the purchase of Cape & Island license plates.
The Standing Committee on Public Services, among other things, works on management of the
County’s real estate and facilities.
The Committee on Health and Human Services helps coordinate human service needs,
including treatment for addiction, help for victims of abuse or neglect, and various shelter and
food programs such as Meals on Wheels.
Particular areas of concern this year include improving the County's financial condition,
improving the management of county owned properties, revamping employment policies,
124
streamlining the Cape’s emergency response center, responding to water quality challenges,
and maintaining human services needs throughout the County in a responsible and efficient
manner.
Respectfully submitted,
Christopher W. Kanaga, Orleans Delegate
BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN COMMITTEE
The Bike and Pedestrian Committee re-formed after several years of inactivity with a charge “to
preserve, promote and enhance the safety of cyclists and pedestrians in Town”. The Committee
believes that seasonal and year-round cycling and pedestrian activities are popular activities
and an important means of local transportation. In addition, studies have shown significant
economic and health gains for communities that develop opportunities for walking and riding.
The committee is made up of five regular and two associate members. Both associate member
positions are open and we welcome new members who might work with us on behalf of our
mission for the town.
The Committee meets monthly on the fourth Wednesday at Town Hall and has been busy with a
number of tasks, several of which we highlight here. Last May we organized a Safe Routes to
Schools Walk, Bike and Roll to School Day event in partnership with Orleans Elementary
School. A number of families and Committee members turned out or this activity, which
augmented the school’s monthly “Wednesday Walks”. A MassDot Safe Routes to Schools
representative also joined us. It was wonderful to see the commitment to promoting this healthy
activity for the kids of Orleans.
In keeping with our charge, the Committee identified a number of small projects, which we
expect will improve the safety of bicyclists and motorists. These include signage and route
direction as well as safe crossing signals at key intersections such as Main Street and Old
Colony Way. We are working with the Traffic and Parking Study Committee as well as DPW to
accomplish these tasks.
Most significantly, the Committee identified the concepts that make up Complete Streets as a
unifying umbrella to accomplish the goals of our charge. Complete Streets are those designed
and operated to enable safe access for all users, no matter age or ability including pedestrians,
bicyclists and motorists. The Committee sought and received support for this from the Planning
Board and on November 14th, the Board of Selectmen approved the submission of a letter of
intent to MassDot that will entitle the town to receive a $50,000.00 planning grant to explore
implementation of a Complete Streets policy for the town. Watch for an early spring 2019
announcement of a community forum to discuss this in detail.
Finally, your Orleans Committee lead the way in establishing a four town “Elbow of the Cape”
working group in partnership with committees from the towns of Brewster, Chatham and
Harwich. The goal of this group is to work collaboratively to achieve safe routes in and across
the towns and to use a regional approach to leverage state support for local activities.
Respectfully,
Alice Thomason Van Oot, Chair

BOARD OF ASSESSORS
Fiscal Year 2018 saw significant changes in the Orleans Assessing office. After 26 years of
service to the citizens of Orleans, Assessor/Appraiser Kenneth J. Hull retired in April. Office
Manager Micah J. Gilmore stepped in to serve as the Acting Assessor for the remainder of the
fiscal year and part-time clerk Mary Sedgwick was hired to help with office operations. The
Board wishes Ken a happy, healthy retirement and also wishes to extend Micah and Mary their
sincere gratitude both for keeping the office in superb working order and for their continued
efforts to meet our citizens’ needs.
FY2018 was an interim valuation year for Orleans. 152 qualified real estate transactions that
took place in Orleans in 2016 were analyzed to determine conformity with the “full and fair cash
value” standard mandated by the Dept. of Revenue. After analysis, review and certification by
the Bureau of Local Assessment, Orleans’ total assessed valuation for all real and personal
property was determined to be $3,963,296,600. This is a 3.3% increase from FY2017, with
approximately 1% of the increase attributed to new growth and the remaining 2.3% attributed to
market adjustments. The median value of a single-family home for FY 2018 was $595,900 and
the median value of a condominium was $222,700.
In FY2018, the Board committed 6,340 real estate tax bills, 2,780 personal property tax bills,
9,816 motor vehicle excise tax bills and 875 boat excise bills to the Treasurer’s office for a total
of $28,435,891.53 of tax revenue. In addition, the Board received 32 applications for real estate
and personal property abatements, 26 of which were granted. We also granted 402 motor
vehicle excise abatements and 63 boat excise abatements. The Board also granted 84 real
estate property tax exemptions.
We are also continuing our annual effort to meet state-mandated property inspection
requirements. The Board is required to inspect any property where permitted building work is
done or where a qualified sale takes place; all other properties must be inspected at least once
every ten years. In FY2018, 1,149 total properties were inspected, including a review of 390
condominium units. Accuracy of property data is critical to ensuring that property assessments
are as fair as possible, and the Board wishes to thank Orleans’ property owners for their
continued cooperation with this.
The Orleans Assessors Office is also a US Passport Acceptance facility. In FY2018, we
processed 279 passport applications resulting in $7,345 in revenue for the Town.
Respectfully submitted,
Nicholas Bono, Chairman
BOARD OF HEALTH
In 2018 the Board of Health amended its Solid Waste Facility Regulations. These amendments
were made to keep in line with the changing solid waste/ recycling markets, cost of the facility
operation, and to allow the Town to successfully institute electronic payments at the facility.
2018 saw several changes for the Board of Health
126
• Judith Di Brigida resigned from her position from the Board of Health. Ms. Di Brigida served
on the Board of Health for four years and brought knowledge and insight to the Board of
Health. The Board would like to thank her for her service as a Board member.
• In May 2018, Luke Chapman was elected to serve on the Board of Health.
• In September 2018, Duane Boucher retired as the Town’s Inspector of Animals.
• In December 2018, Casey Eagan was appointed to serve as the Town’s Inspector of
Animals.
In cooperation with the Barnstable County Department of Health and the Environment, the Board
of Health continued its weekly surveillance of the water quality of the Town’s five bathing beaches
during the summer months. Of all samples taken 75 of the 78 samples analyzed in 2018 met the
bacteriological limits. The sites of the three samples that exceeded the bacteriological limits were
immediately retested and passed. No beach closures were required.
In 2018 the Orleans Board of Health continued to contract with the Barnstable County Department
of Health and the Environment for professional services. These additional inspectional services
have assisted the Health Department in handling its workload more efficiently.
During 2018 the Board of Health was represented on the Board of Water and Sewer
Commissioners, Cape Cod Rabies Task Force, Cape and Islands Health Agents Coalition, Cape
Cod Hoarding Task Force and Orleans Site Plan Review Committee. The Board also administered
the Town’s contract with the Cape Cod Visiting Nurse Association. Through this contract the VNA
provides the Town with home visits, health screenings, wellness education programs,
immunization clinics and communicable disease follow-up investigations.
Responsibilities of the Health Department staff include: the inspection and regulation of all
establishments issued a permit by the Board of Health, response to and investigation of all
complaints pertinent to public health, housing inspections, development and maintenance of the
Town’s public health emergency response plan, administration of underground storage tank
regulations, filing and investigation of communicable disease reports, sampling of recreational
waters, and attendance at Board of Health and other meetings pertaining to public health.

CAPE COD COMMISSION
About the Cape Cod Commission
The Commission works toward maintaining a healthy balance between economic progress and
environmental vitality. “Keeping a special place special” describes the agency’s mission to
protect the region’s unique qualities. The 19-member appointed Cape Cod Commission Board
represents a wide spectrum of the region and provides oversight for a staff of approximately 40
professionals. This report represents broad areas of the Commission’s work and responsibilities,
highlighting several specific projects and initiatives.
Orleans Member Administration
Leonard Short Kristy Senatori, Executive Director
Patty Daley, Deputy Director
Leadership Transition
After more than 10 years leading the Cape Cod Commission as executive director, Paul
Niedzwiecki stepped down in February 2018 to become the first executive director of the
Southfield Redevelopment Authority at the former Weymouth Naval Air Station. During his
tenure, the regulatory agency evolved to become an organization focused on facilitating regional
discussion on some of the most pressing issues facing Cape Cod, from wastewater
management to housing needs to fully understanding the nature and challenges of its seasonal
economy. Deputy Director Kristy Senatori was elevated to the role of Acting Executive Director
in March and appointed permanently in October 2018.
130
Regional Policy Plan Update
In December 2018, the Cape Cod Commission approved an updated Regional Policy Plan to be
submitted to the Assembly of Delegates as an ordinance of Barnstable County. The Regional
Policy Plan serves as a guide to the Cape Cod Commission’s planning and regulatory work and
provides a framework for planning at the town level. Through the Cape Cod Commission Act,
the Commission is responsible for balancing the protection of the region’s resources with
appropriate development and economic progress. One of the ways the Commission does this is
to provide a coherent set of goals, policies, and standards to guide planning and development
on Cape Cod. The plan provides a growth policy that supports the vision for the future of Cape
Cod as a place of vibrant, sustainable, and healthy communities and a protected natural
environment. Fourteen goals are included to guide and plan for the future of the region in a
manner consistent with the vision and growth policy. The goals and objectives derive from the
values and purposes of the Commission Act, preserving and enhancing the region’s assets.
Final action on adoption of the Regional Policy Plan is expected in the first part of 2019.
OneCape
The Commission hosted its fifth regional summit in June 2018, focusing on wastewater and
housing. The OneCape summit drew more than 300 attendees over two days to the Wequassett
Resort in Harwich. Over the two days, a clear and consistent message was heard from state,
local and regional leaders: Cape communities live up to the conference’s name, speaking as
one Cape on key issues. The design of this year’s OneCape summit, hosted annually by the
Cape Cod Commission, sought to reinforce that theme, inviting towns and community-based
organizations to develop many of the sessions presented. The Summit focused broadly on
environmental and economic themes with featured presentations on water quality, coastal
resiliency, infrastructure planning, community design, and economic development across Cape
Cod. For the fourth time, the OneCape Summit hosted the Cape Cod Selectmen and Councilors
Association, providing an opportunity for the Cape’s elected leaders to receive information and
ask questions of federal, state and regional decision makers. The second day of the summit
featured a broader range of regional issues, including housing, coastal resiliency and the Cape’s
economy. The OneCape award was presented to Paul Niedzwiecki, recognizing his work and
accomplishments as the third executive director of the Cape Cod Commission.
Wastewater
The Commission continued its implementation of the 208 Plan Update, which was certified and
approved in 2015. The Commission’s enabling regulations were amended through the county
legislative process to allow changes to the review of local comprehensive wastewater
management plans. The changes allow for staff-level review of such plans and sign-off by the
executive director and are intended to provide a more efficient and timely review. In June 2018,
the Cape Cod Commission deemed the Pleasant Bay Targeted Watershed Management Plan
(TWMP) consistent with the 208 Plan, issuing a letter to the four member communities and the
Pleasant Bay Alliance. The plan development was coordinated by the Pleasant Bay Alliance and
identifies nitrogen contributions by town and a schedule and adaptive management plan for
reducing nitrogen to the Bay.
Stormwater
The Cape Cod Commission was awarded $50,000 to create a stormwater management
coalition to help Cape communities meet stormwater management requirements. The
Commission convened stormwater managers from all Cape towns beginning in Fall 2017 to
further define the role of the coalition and identify potential structures for a regional management
entity.
131
Resilient Cape Cod
In early 2016, 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. A series of three stakeholder meetings were held
between December 2017 and February 2018 in four subregions that represent the major water
bodies surrounding the Cape: Buzzards Bay, Cape Cod Bay, Nantucket Sound and Outer Cape
(Atlantic Ocean and Cape Cod Bay). These meetings were designed to gather input on potential
strategies to inform development of a web-based planning tool.
Blue Economy Grant
The Cape Cod Commission is partnering with the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, and the
Southeastern Regional Planning & Economic Development District (SRPEDD), to strengthen the
marine science and technology cluster on the Cape and the South Coast.
The U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) awarded a
$600,000 grant to UMass Dartmouth to support development of a formal Massachusetts Science
and Technology Cluster Alliance. Among other things, the project will fund a comprehensive study
and analysis of the marine science and technology sectors to further job creation, business and
industrial expansion, as well as exporting of goods.
Grant to Improve Water Quality Database
Restore America’s Estuaries awarded $400,000 grant to the Cape Cod Commission and its
partners – the Association to Preserve Cape Cod, Center for Coastal Studies, UMass
Dartmouth School for Marine Science and Technology, Waquoit Bay National Estuarine
Research Reserve, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. The 2018 Southeast New
England Program (SNEP) Watershed Grant will go toward enhancing the regional water quality
database to include additional data and tools to provide automated data analyses. The regional
water quality database was developed by the Commission in 2016 to compile and make
accessible estuarine water quality data from a variety of sources, including the Buzzards Bay
Coalition, the Center for Coastal Studies, UMass Dartmouth School for Marine Science and
Technology, and others.
Housing Preference Study: Community Resiliency by Design
In collaboration with four Cape Cod communities – Barnstable, Eastham, Orleans and Falmouth
–the Cape Cod Commission received funding from the Massachusetts Executive Office of
Energy and Environmental Affairs to develop model housing designs for compact development
in three different, but typical Cape Cod development patterns. The project focuses on compact
design forms, allowing more units with fewer infrastructure demands while maintaining the
character of the surrounding community. The project is designed to engage the development
community through a Developers Roundtable, providing development proforma, and developing
a model concept form-based-code regulation. Engaging practitioners in the visioning stages for
compact development will allow stakeholders to share feedback, best practices, areas of need,
and other knowledge that will assist in its implementation in the region. The study is a follow-up
to the 2017 Housing Market Analysis prepared for the Commission, which looked at housing
challenges at the town, sub-regional and county-wide levels. Kickoff meetings were held for
Eastham, Orleans and Falmouth in June 2018 and in Barnstable in December 2018, providing
132
an overview of the project and to engage residents with Union Studio, an architecture and
community design firm from Providence, RI.
Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative
In June 2017, The Barnstable County Board of Regional Commissioners and Assembly of
Delegates approved an ordinance reestablishing the Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative.
Under the ordinance, the Cape Cod Commission was tasked to serve as administrative and
technical staff to the Collaborative. The reformed Collaborative serves as the advisory committee
to the Section 208 Regional Water Quality Management Plan. In this role, the collaborative will
review and advise on aspects of the 208 Plan and track towns as they move through
implementation. The Collaborative maintains its role in providing regional support for water quality
initiatives, including technical assistance, legislative recommendations and establishment of the
Regional Wastewater Management Plan, in conjunction with County staff.
Barnstable County Coastal Management Committee
The Barnstable County Coastal Management Committee (BCCMC) was established by the
Board of Regional Commissioners to provide guidance on the protection, preservation, and use
of Cape Cod’s coastal resource areas. The advisory group held its first meeting in October
2018. The Cape Cod Commission provides staff and administrative support for the committee.
Among the broad areas of focus for the group are coastal resilience, fin and shellfish resources
and habitats, education and outreach, dredging, regional sediment management, and marine
and estuarine water quality.
Barnstable County Economic Development Council
The Barnstable County Economic Development Council (BCEDC) was established in January
2018 through an amended county ordinance approved by the Board of Regional Commissioners
and Assembly of Delegates. With a restated mission and functions, the BCEDC is the successor
to the Cape Cod Economic Development Council, which was established in 1998. The
Barnstable County Economic Development Council is an advisory board to Barnstable County
established to guide economic development policy in a manner that will improve the quality of
life for all, foster a healthy economy offering a range of employment opportunities at livable
wages for year-round residents, and protect the region's natural and built assets today and in
the future. Its duties include advising on the development of the economic development goals
for Barnstable County, acting as the Cape Cod Comprehensive Economic Development
Strategy (CEDS) Strategy Committee and Economic Development District (EDD) governing
board, advising on the planning, content and implementation of the CEDS, approving the 5-year
CEDS document and advising the Barnstable County Commissioners, upon allocation of funds
to award economic development grants/contracts, on the merits of proposals. Cape Cod
Commission staff administers the BCEDC, providing technical services and admin. support.
CEDS
The Commission completed the fourth and final annual update to the 2014 Barnstable County
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). The most recent five-year strategy
was approved in 2014 and receives annual updates on progress toward identified projects. The
Barnstable County Economic Development Council approved the final update in June 2018 and
received information on planning for the five-year update due in 2019 The region’s economic
strategy is based on four core economic development principles: Protect and build on the
region’s competitive advantage, use resources efficiently; foster economic balance and
diversity; and to expand opportunity and regional wealth.

Harbor Management Study
In an effort to help communities weigh decisions and understand the value of harbor
investments, the Cape Cod Commission is developing a comprehensive approach to improve
harbor management practices. The approach will help communities assess the benefits and
costs of the region’s harbors and secure funding for necessary planning projects.
The Commission invited communities with harbors representative of the many across the Cape
to participate in developing the approach. The following harbors were selected: Provincetown
Harbor; Chatham’s Fish Pier and Stage Harbor; Sesuit Harbor in Dennis; and Woods Hole and
Falmouth Inner Harbor.The pilot communities will assist in scoping the details of the project and
providing baseline data of harbor infrastructure, management challenges, revenues and costs
associated with operations, and risks to sea level rise and extreme weather events.
OpenGov
In partnership with participating towns, the Commission launched and helps maintain a cloud-
based transparency and performance management platform: OpenGov. Performance
management software allows communities to track and measure financial accountability and set
benchmarks. The public-facing side of the OpenGov platform also provides for transparency in
how money is collected, allocated and spent. It allows participating towns to increase
government accountability and improve access to important public information.
The information-sharing platform helps towns simplify budget planning, improve internal data
management, and make important information easily accessible to residents, elected officials
and administrators.
Open Counter
The Towns of Mashpee, Barnstable and Yarmouth launched an online tool to make local
permitting and zoning analysis easier and more user friendly.
In partnership with the Cape Cod Commission's Strategic Information Office, zoning portals
were developed for each town on a platform created by the San Francisco-based firm Open
Counter. Working with each town, zoning laws were translated to provide user-friendly
interfaces, allowing users to easily explore how town land use policies affect specific parcels.
The Commission contracted with OpenCounter for a pilot program in these three contiguous
towns. The platform includes all zoning districts and special overlay areas.
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).
Cape Cod Transportation Improvement Plan
The Cape Cod Transportation Improvement Plan, or TIP, serves as a prioritized listing of
roadway, bridge, and transit projects proposed for implementation during the next five federal
fiscal years. The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) describes all significant transportation
planning activities planned on Cape Cod over a 12 month period.
The 2018-2022 TIP allocated more than $134.5 million in funded highway and transit project
across Cape Cod. The 2018 Federal Fiscal Year spending allocated more than $34.3 million.
134
The 2019-2023 TIP, approved by the MPO May 2018, represents $167.6 million in projects for
those five years.
Regulatory
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). In 2018, there were no DRI reviews in the Town of
Orleans.
Water Resources
Water resources staff provides technical assistance to towns, citizens and the County on water
resources projects including: water supply, wastewater and stormwater management, fresh
water ponds and marine waters. Project assistance included numerous technical assessments,
Cape-wide well monitoring, planning, education and regulatory review on all aspects of Cape
Cod’s water resources. Water staff participates on a variety of local, regional and state
committees and strives to develop strategies to implement cost-effective solutions to capitalize
on common regional needs across the Cape. The Commission has coordinated the PALS
(Ponds and Lake Stewards) pond sampling program since its inception in 2001.
Technical Assistance
The Cape Cod Commission received $186,965 Is District Local Technical Assistance (DLTA)
funds from the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development. The funds
are distributed to municipalities on a competitive basis to further regional coordination and
innovation. Projects must fall within three categories established by the state: Planning Ahead
for Housing, Planning Ahead for Growth and Community Compact Cabinet Activities.
Orleans: Downtown Design Guidelines
The Town of Orleans was awarded a $20,555 DLTA grant to support development of local
Design Guidelines. These guidelines complement recent zoning changes in the Orleans Village
Center that permit higher residential density, multi-family housing to promote economic
development and revitalization of the Orleans downtown. The Design Guidelines describe the
key elements that make up Orleans’ architectural character and translate those elements into
guidelines that address building siting, building form, pedestrian-scale features, and signage.
They provide support for the town’s Planning Board and Architectural Review Committee and
will serve as a source of good design examples for property owners and developers considering
new development.
CAPE COD REGIONAL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT

CAPE COD NATIONAL SEASHORE ADVISORY COMMISSION
The suspension of the meetings of the Cape Cod National Seashore Advisory Commission were
lifted by the administration in June of 2018. Subsequent meetings were held in June of 2018
and September of 2018. There is nothing significant to report that would directly affect the Town
of Orleans. At the September 2018 meeting, the Advisory Commission did review the
continuation of the Certificate of Suspension of Condemnation for several commercial interests
in the seashore as required by law. Unfortunately, the reauthorization of the Commission, which
had been for 10 years, expired after the September 2018 meeting. A bill has been passed in
the House to reauthorize the Cape Cod National Seashore Advisory Commission, but, to date,
one has not been passed in the Senate. The Commission must be reauthorized by Congress
before any future meetings can be held.

CAPE LIGHT COMPACT JPE
Cape Light Compact JPE is a joint powers entity pursuant to Massachusetts General Law
Chapter 40 Section 4A1/2 consisting of the 21 towns on Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard and
Duke’s County. The Compact’s mission is to serve our 205,000 customers through the delivery
of proven energy efficiency programs, effective consumer advocacy, and renewable competitive
electricity supply.
Energy Efficiency : Cape Light Compact offers an energy efficiency program that provides
energy audits for homes and businesses, rebates for the purchase of energy efficient
appliances, and energy education in our schools. These programs give customers the power to
take control of their energy use, reduce their energy bills, and protect the environment.
A free energy audit, or assessment, is the first step to identify energy improvements and how
much energy can be saved. Energy audits are available for homeowners, renters, and
businesses by calling Cape Light Compact at 800-797-6699.
In the Town of Orleans, the Cape Light Compact accomplished the following in 2018:
*Note that the data above does not include activity in November and December 2018 due to the date of this
publication. Please visit www.capelightcompact.org/reports for more information.
Other Cape Light Compact energy efficiency efforts in 2018 included:
•Four ENERGY STAR® qualified homes built in the Town of Orleans.
•Lighting upgrades were performed at the Nauset Middle School.
•Energy education to the Nauset School District through teacher workshops and
educational materials aligned with the state initiatives.
Consumer Advocacy: Cape Light Compact has advocated for the electric ratepayers of Cape
Cod and Martha’s Vineyard at the local and state level since 1997. In 2018, the Compact
continued its focus on grid modernization, reviewing plans submitted by utilities. The Compact
held community and stakeholder meetings about what is being proposed and the implications
for the energy future of Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard. There were several key areas of
concern that the Compact and engaged stakeholders identified, mainly centered around the fact
that Eversource’s grid modernization plan was mostly grid-facing and did not offer many
opportunities to engage customers with a modernized grid. The Compact retained experts to
analyze Eversource’s plan and was an active participant in the Department of Public Utilities
(DPU) proceedings. The DPU issued their grid modernization orders in May 2018, approving
some of the utilities’ requests but deferring decisions on customer-facing technologies (such as
advanced metering infrastructure) to future proceedings.
In December 2017, the DPU issued an order on Eversource’s rate case, which was
Eversource’s first fully-litigated rate case since the 1980’s. Rate case proceedings determine the
charges that Eversource is allowed to impose on the distribution side of the electric bill, which

affect all residents and businesses on Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard. The Compact was an
active participant in these proceedings. The DPU approved increased customer charges and
demand charges, a ten percent rate of return, and a cost shift from commercial customers on to
Eastern MA residential customers. However, the participation of the Compact and other
intervenors resulted in a lower approved customer charge than Eversource proposed, a
rejection of consolidated Transition charges (saving Cape & Vineyard customers approximately
$8 million per year), and rejection of the consolidation of commercial and industrial rate classes
which would have had steep bill impacts for some Cape & Vineyard customers. Since the
December 2017 Order, the Department has opened two related proceedings that the Compact
is participating in regarding performance metrics and the Monthly Minimum Reliability Charge
(MMRC) outreach and education plan. Additionally, the Compact filed an amicus brief with the
MA Supreme Judicial Court (SJC), supporting other parties’ appeals of the approved return on
equity rate and MMRC. The SJC has not ruled on the appeals as of December 2018.
The Compact also participated in regulatory proceedings at the DPU 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: During 2018, the Compact’s power supplier for all residential, commercial, and
industrial customers was NextEra Energy Services of Massachusetts (NextEra). The Compact’s
residential rate in 2018 was lower than Eversource’s basic service residential rate while also
being 100 percent renewable.
The Compact has been a green aggregation since January 2017, meaning 100 percent of the
Compact’s power supply customers’ annual electricity usage is met with renewable energy
certificates (RECs). Each REC represents the generation of one megawatt hour (1,000 kilowatt
hours) of electricity produced by a renewable resource, such as wind or solar. By retiring RECs
to match the Compact’s customers’ usage, Compact customers are financially supporting
renewable energy resources, including resources located on Cape Cod and southeastern
Massachusetts. In addition, NextEra pledged to deposit all premiums paid for voluntary RECs,
plus their supplier and retail fees (expected to total over $3 million per year), into a trust fund to
be used solely for the development of new renewable energy resources. In December 2018, the
Compact announced that it had entered in to a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) for
both energy and RECs from a solar facility under development in Farmington, Maine, which is
scheduled to begin delivering energy to Compact customers in 2021. Now, by purchasing
electricity through the Compact, all Compact power supply customers are supporting renewable
energy and acting locally to combat climate change.
At a regional level, New England continues to face electricity pricing challenges during the
winter months. Over the last fifteen years, New England has greatly increased its reliance on
natural gas for electricity production, and now over fifty (50) percent of New England’s electricity
is generated with natural gas. However, natural gas pipeline capacity has not substantially
increased during that same period. As a result, during winter cold snaps, demand for natural gas
to generate electricity competes with natural gas demand for heating purposes. Allocation of
natural gas for heating has priority over natural gas for generating electricity. This creates a
supply shortage of natural gas for electricity production, and therefore increases prices for
electric generators, which is passed on to all New England power supply customers.
Massachusetts has taken a major step to address this issue through the execution of long-term
contracts for off-shore wind energy, and continues to negotiate contracts for additional
renewable energy resources; however, until such time as this issue is fully resolved, either
141
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 will continue to seek ways to help
customers reduce their electricity costs through innovative energy efficiency programs to
mitigate the impacts of higher winter electricity pricing.
As of December 2018, the Compact had approximately 4,662 electric accounts in the Town of
Orleans on its power supply.

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. CPA funds must be spent
on open space, 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.
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 thirteenth full calendar year of business in 2018.
At the beginning of the year, there were sixteen projects in various stages of completion being
monitored by the Committee, to ensure they remained within budget and approved scope, and
that satisfactory progress was being made towards their completion.
After careful review, interviews, and a public hearing, the CPC recommended funding the
following projects at the May Annual Town Meeting:
•Old Firehouse Plans and Specifications $75,000
•Academy Playhouse Restoration $250,000
•Cemetery Vault Door Repair $1,126
•Cape Housing Institute Municipal Officials Training $15,000
•Homeless Prevention Council Affordable Housing Unit $25,000
•Housing Reserves $300,000
•Affordable Housing Pre-Development Fund $25,000
•Campbell-Purcell Regional Housing Development $100,000
•Walking Trail Kiosks $9,900
Town Meeting, through Article 13, approved $490,800 to pay interest and principal on open
space debt, $25,000 for FY2019 committee expenses and $801,026 for the nine projects,
resulting in a total CPA program budget of $1,316,826. The Undesignated Fund Balance was
$241,854.
142
As recommended by the CPC, the October 29 Special Town Meeting transferred $125,000 from
the Undesignated Fund Balance to purchase a portion of Nauset Spit and property in Nauset
Harbor owned by the Hannah family. Town Meeting also rescinded $44,813.83 in funding for
the HECH Housing Emergency Loan program due to inactivity, and voted to transfer the sum of
$344,813.83 to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund.
In November, ten applications were received for projects seeking funding in FY2020.
The state match under the CPA remains at much less than 100% of local surtax revenues. Any
additional funding requires legislation and is tied to the state having a surplus at the end of the
fiscal year. Within the available funding, the Community Preservation Committee remains
committed to supporting projects that meet the CPA requirements and preserve the character
and beauty of Orleans.

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.
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, is filed with the Conservation Commission prior to initiation.
Our wetland resource areas include wetland vegetation, coastal banks, dunes, land subject to
coastal storm flowage and areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC) among others. In
2018, the Conservation Commission heard approximately 39 Notices of Intent, 63 other filings
including Certificates of Compliance, Amended Orders, and Requests for Determination, and
reviewed and completed 169 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 publicly accessible
and offer passive recreational opportunities with a variety of walking trails and scenic views. In
2018, the Conservation Commission continued to support the Department of Public Works Natural
Resources efforts to improve and manage and maintain 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.

CULTURAL COUNCIL
The Orleans Cultural Council (OCC) works with the Mass Cultural Council (MCC) and with our
municipal government as leaders, stewards, advocates, catalysts and conveners in supporting
the arts, humanities and sciences through grants, initiatives, and advocacy for nonprofit cultural
organizations, schools, and artists. As a public investor in the arts, humanities, and sciences, we
work to ensure that everyone in our community has a place in our rich cultural life.
A Town Meeting vote allocated $2,000 in May to the OCC. The MCC grant allocation for the
2018 Grant Cycle $4,500. The OCC received 27 local grant applications, totaling $16,855.
Awards were made to 16 applicants, totaling $5,616: Open Mic Classical, 80’s Rock the Library,
Libraries Rock, Out of Africa: Marimba and Drumming Performance, Meeting House Chamber
Music Festival 2018, Storytelling Performance for Summer Reading, Voices from the
Wheelhouse II, Visual Arts/Arts Day, Orleans Surf Film Festival, Concerts & Lecture series,
OES Meet the Farmer Program, Winter Art Exhibit Tour & Hands on Workshop, In class
Lessons – Orleans Kindergarten/First Grade, Borromeo String Quartet, Printers Chest: Art
Studio to Go and Family Fun Fair. Grant fund included $1,129 additional funds from the Cultural
and Rec Account and a supplemental grant in the spring.
The 17th Annual Youth Art Exhibit took place in March with 117 works from students from The
Lighthouse Charter School, Nauset Regional Middle School and Nauset Regional High School.
The student artwork included fine arts, woodworking, photography, jewelry, ceramics,
printmaking and fashion design, which was displayed throughout Town Hall. Folk Musician
Rand Burkert performed at an evening public reception with light refreshments, honoring all
artists and families.
Other activities: OCC sent two representatives to the convening of Regional Cultural Councils
held in Yarmouth spearheaded by Charlotte Cutter, MCC liaison for Cape & Islands Cultural
Councils. The OCC informative brochure was updated and will be distributed at various events
and locations throughout the coming year. An OCC representative attended the September
Orleans Quality of Life Expo and distributed Eye Spy maps, OCC community needs surveys,
displayed large graphics of the student exhibit, arts education & information for parents, and
information related to grant applications. Additionally, OCC collaborated with the Orleans
Improvement Association to explore the possibilities of sponsoring a seasonal lighted sculpture
by Michael Magyar. This would join the two that were installed in Dec. of 2018.
OCC explored the possibility of “Movies Under the Stars” with equipment provided free from
True Value Hardware. Two events were piloted this past summer with films provided free of
cost from Snow Library. Work continues on this project with a plan to show movies in the
summer of 2019.
Working with Town facilities manager and Town Clerk, the OCC initiated the $1,500 purchase of
a Walker Hanging System for the walls, ramp and hallways on the first floor of Town Hall. This
will provide a secure system that will allow the art and/or graphics of non-profit organizations,
Town Departments and others to be graphically displayed for the educational and informational
benefit of our visitors to Town Hall.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
Highway Division
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 70 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, Recreation, Shellfish / Harbormaster,
transfer Station, Water, etc.).
The major projects managed by the Department in 2018 include the following:
Drainage:
• New drainage systems were installed on Sea Mist Dr. and Granny’s Ln.
Safety Improvements:
• The Department continued upgrading street signs and warning signs to new federal
standards. The Department installed solar powered flashing warning signs at the Cape
Cod Rail Trail and Main St. near Old Colony Dr.
Roadway Improvements
• Skaket Beach Rd. and Beach Rd. were paved during 2018
• Roadways were patched, crack sealed and received a Chip Seal application including
Brick Hill Rd., Briar Springs and Shore View Drive.
Other Projects:
• The Department continued the construction of a new composting area on top of the
existing capped landfill. All work was permitted and approved by both the Department of
Environmental Protection as well as the Town of Orleans Board of Health. This project is
approximately 90% complete.
• The Department managed the construction of approximately one mile of sewer gravity
and force mains in the Rte 6A / Main St. and Rte. 28 / Main St. areas where MassDOT is
currently reconstructing those intersections and adjacent roadways.
• The department continues to manage and assist with the construction of the new
DPW&NR facility at 40 Giddiah Hill Rd. The project is going very well and is under
budget.
• 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 approximately 165 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.
• The Department swept up approximately 206 tons of sand and debris from the roadways
and parking lots in 2018. Similar to catch basin cleanings the disposal of street
146
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 have been
utilized for the facility construction, as permitted by DEP. This project has saved Orleans
tens of thousands of dollars in avoided disposal costs.
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.
Our sincere gratitude goes to all the staff from the Highway Department, Transfer Station, Parks
Department, Water Department, Facilities Department and staff from the Harbormasters
Department for their dedication and support in responding to storms throughout the winter.
Parks Division
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 Divison
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. It appears that trees in general are
suffering due to the accumulative stresses like drought, salt exposure, and increases in invasive
insects. In any case the immediate need is to identify hazards and remove them for public
safety. One bright spot is the partnership with Eversource. They have removed hundreds of
dead trees and planted scores of trees for the Town.
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.
147
•The Town of Orleans received the Tree City USA Award from the Massachusetts DCR
Urban and Community Forestry Program. This is the 20th consecutive year that we have
received this prestigious award.
•Celebrated Arbor Day on May 1st.
•This year’s Arbor Day was held at the Snow Library. AmeriCorps Cape Cod partnered with
the DPW and the Orleans Conservation Trust to improve the grounds. The American
Rhododendron Society was kind enough to donate a large variety of rhododendron, trees,
and other plants to be used in the gardens.
•The Department was awarded an AmeriCorps intern two days a week for one year. This is
the 11th 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 Putnam property, Kent’s Point, Sea-Call Farm and the Transfer
Station.
•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 22,000 hours with the Tree Warden.
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 2018 are shown in the following table. Quantities from 2017 are
included for comparison.

In 2018, the Transfer Station also collected and processed: paint (estimated 495 gallons – total
for both latex and oil based), waste oil (900 gallons), used oil filters (1 drum), gasoline (440
gallons), and antifreeze (125 gallons). The DPW utilized 75 gallons of recycled latex paint
collected from Orleans and other Transfer Stations in order to paint the off-white walls of the
Administration areas in the new DPW&NR facility at 40 Giddiah Hill Rd. This effort saved the
facility project a net of about $1,700 in addition to supporting the recycled paint industry.
The Transfer Station generated the following revenue in 2018 (not including sticker sales): Gate
Collections: $105,265, Batteries: $1,200, Metals: $5,656.
In 2018, 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 flare was relocated in
2018 as part of the new DPW&NR facility project. It was moved from where the new vehicle
storage facility is now located to just west of the new salt shed relocated behind the gift house.
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.

BUILDING COMMITTEE
Construction on the new DPW / NR building located at 40 Giddiah Hill Road, has continued for
the last year and as of this writing is scheduled for occupancy the last week of January 2019.
Substantial Completion and Occupancy was delayed due to the bankruptcy of a key
subcontractor of the general contractor. Although this has affected the occupancy date, there
has been no compromise in the quality of the work or cost to the Town.
The membership of the Committee has remained unchanged, with Peter Coneen, chairman,
Mike Smith, clerk, Herb Kinney, Hank Spadaccia, and Charles “Buddy” Young as members. The
Director of Public Works and Natural Resources and the Town Administrator serve as ex-officio,
non-voting members. Alan McClennen, Jr. serves as our liaison to the Board of Selectmen and
Peter Monger is liaison to the Finance Committee.
The Committee is looking forward to the successful completion and occupancy of this long-
anticipated facility and would like to thank the entire team of Daedalus Projects Inc.; our Owners
Project Manager; Weston and Sampson; our Architect and Engineer, and WES Construction,
our general contractor.

FINANCE COMMITTEE
On behalf of the Orleans Finance Committee, I am pleased to present to Orleans citizens the
Committee's annual report on its activities during calendar year 2018. The Finance Committee,
currently comprised of nine members who are appointed by the Town Moderator, is charged
under the Orleans Town Charter with independently examining and analyzing the financial
affairs of the Town, including proposed budgets, Capital Improvement Plans, and other issues
having a financial impact on the Town and its taxpayers, and to inform the citizens of the Town
of its findings and recommendations.
Budget, Capital Improvement Plan and Town Meetings
As in the past, much of the first four months of Committee activity during 2018 was focused on
the budget review process, in meetings and discussions with various Town officials. Finance
Committee liaisons met independently with department heads representing the financially most
significant sections of the budget. Then the Committee met as a group to discuss preliminary
impressions, or, for the larger departments, with the department heads or in joint sessions with
the Board of Selectmen (BOS) to review the budgets. As noted previously, these collaborative
budget review meetings provide members of the Finance Committee and the BOS the benefit of
each other’s knowledge and experience in evaluating departmental budgets and eliminate
duplication of time required by Town and school officials for this process.
The Finance Committee noted in its Fiscal Year 2018 Annual Report and Letter to the Town
included in the Annual Town Meeting Warrant last May that improvements are needed in the
current Town budgeting format which does not allow for any meaningful analysis of the actual
costs of delivering specific services in the Town. There has been no meaningful attempt at a
zero-based budgeting process. There is no mechanism in place for measuring the impact of the
Town’s budget approach of limiting spending growth and maintaining a property tax rate
believed to be “affordable” for the average Orleans taxpayer. Managing the operating budget
specifically oriented to the tax rate ignores the fact that cuts in the operating budget to meet that
goal will sooner or later result in the denial of some of the services that are critical for the well-
being of the taxpayers or for the upkeep of the Town itself. If such service cuts become
necessary, there is no method available to differentiate among Town services to insure that
critical Town services are maintained at an acceptable level. The Finance Committee continues
to seek improvements in the budgeting process and the transparency of the process while
ensuring that the Town’s most critical needs are met.
With regard to Capital Planning and Investment, during 2018, we actively supported long-term
strategies for funding Affordable Housing and the Town’s Other Post-Employment Benefits
(“OPEB”) liability as well as more immediate needs such as those related to wastewater and
water quality (planning for downtown sewers as well as pond management strategies and the
deployment of non-traditional technologies) and Nauset Beach retreat challenges.
Revenue Sources and Strategies
During 2018, we sponsored a user fee-related Article at the Annual Town Meeting in May,
proposing an annual review of each department’s user fees to help ensure that fees covered the
cost of Town services, and also eliminating Town Meeting review of user fees increases to help
streamline the process. Although the Article did not pass at Town Meeting, the BOS and Town
Administrator are committed to reviewing all user fees; the Town Administrator is to recommend
a user fee strategy for BOS consideration by February 1, 2019.
150
We also proposed a Warrant Article for the Special Town Meeting this past fall that would
enable the establishment of Enterprise Funds for certain departments (e.g., the Town beaches,
the new sewers and the transfer station) to ensure that they are self-sustaining in a construct
similar to the Water Department. This Article was successful.
The Finance Committee continued to urge the BOS and Town Administration to establish a
comprehensive approach for more rigorous pursuit of state and federal grant opportunities by all
departments. BOS Goals for FY’20 now include working with “the Town Administrator and
Finance Director to establish a grant tracking process to be used by all Departments and shared
across all Departments” as well as monitoring “the effectiveness of each Department’s grant
pursuit efforts as part of the annual Budget cycle”. The Finance Committee will also monitor
grant pursuit efforts as part of its FY’20 budget review process.
Police Building Project, New DPW Facility, and Renewable Energy
Finance Committee liaisons are assigned to key Town Departments and Committees - including
the now-completed Police Building project as well as the nearly-complete DPW facility, and the
Orleans Renewable Energy Committee. With regard to the latter, the Town has recently
received notice that it has been awarded “Green Community” status with a grant of $135k to
help fund “Green” project planning and implementation.
Communication, Collaboration and Transparency
Finance Committee members spoke at the Annual Town Meeting in May and at the Special
Town Meeting in October. When a split vote occurred, both “pro” and “con” arguments for a
particular article were presented. We also participated in Orleans Citizen Forum-sponsored
panel discussions in April and October, addressing key topics for the respective Town Meetings.
Looking for further opportunities to inform Orleans citizens regarding issues that have a financial
impact on the Town, we have begun to invite the “owners” of key components of the Town
budget to Finance Committee meetings for an open discussion of the cost drivers and
challenges for their Departments or budgets. In mid-September, Fire Chief Tony Pike and
several of his colleagues joined us for a 90-minute discussion on their department, including
audience participation. In mid-December, Bob Sanborn, Superintendent of Cape Tech Regional
High School in Harwich, and Stefan Galazzi, the Orleans member of Cape Tech’s School
Committee, joined us for a similar session. In January, Police Chief Scott MacDonald will be
joining us, and in February, Nauset Regional School District Superintendent Tom Conrad and
his team will be with us. The videos and the minutes for all of these meetings are posted on the
Town website.
All of our meetings are open to the public and are broadcast live on a local TV channel.
We have also added a “link” on the Finance Committee website that provides easier access to
all of the Finance Committee Annual Reports for the past few years as well as to the Fiscal Year
Annual Reports (those included in the Annual Town Meeting Warrant). Finance Committee
correspondence with the Board of Selectmen is also posted on-line.
We will continue to focus on analyzing Town financial practices and the roles, responsibilities,
and operations of Town Departments and Committees as they impact Town spending,
forwarding recommendations that emerge from these analyses to the Board of Selectmen, the
Town Administrator, the Town Finance Director, and others as appropriate. We will continue to
look for more and better ways to communicate with the citizens of Orleans.
151
As noted previously, 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.
Respectfully submitted,
Marilyn M. Bruneau, Chairman
FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT
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 this is a year round task. Response and mitigation of
emergencies and coordination of reimbursement efforts should they be available through state
or federal means.
A major task for the past seven years has been work in partnership with the Natural Resource
Director to provide a safer beach going experience for the public. Our town was on the forefront
of enhancing emergency radios, installing a cell phone repeater and providing additional
emergency medical training and personnel for our oceans beaches. New response beach
vehicles were put into service and a surf boat was purchased and trained on. The coming year
will see additional safety measures such as first aid kiosks and additional training for the
emergency providers, lifeguards and the general public.
In early 2018, the Town’s Comprehensive Emergency Plan was revised and updated by an
intern (Jake Nickerson) from Massachusetts Maritime Academy’s (MMA) Emergency
Management undergraduate program. Over a three month period, the plan was revised and
updated with critical information in case of disasters. We are grateful to have a partnership with
MMA that offers significant benefits to both the town and the interns.
During a major weather event or any other unusual emergency occurrence, the town is
managed through an Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The EOC is 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
152
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.
FIRE AND RESCUE
On behalf of the Orleans Fire Rescue Department I am pleased to present our annual
report. 2018 marked the busiest year on record in the history of the Department. A special
thanks to Deputy Chief Deering and all the dedicated members who proudly serve.
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 hazardous materials response.
Delivery of Emergency Medical Services continues to be our busiest area of response. Each
year the call volume increases. Additionally, the types of skills and care our Firefighters provide
changes with improvements in protocols and equipment. In the past year, our Firefighter/EMTs
and Firefighter/Paramedics have trained on a wide variety of statewide treatment protocol
changes and also added several medications to the wide variety already carried for the range of
emergencies we respond to. Our Paramedics and EMTs attended training on a new pediatric
care system called Handtevy Pediatric Resuscitation System. It is a medication dosing system
used to ensure proper care and treatment of our youngest patients.
Every year brings new challenges and changes, the ongoing issues brought on by the opioid
epidemic require training for new procedures and protocols, and the increase of dangerous
marine life year after year brings more specific training and equipment issues which taxes time
and resources. New strategies for responding to man-made violence will occupy much of our
training time in the coming year as we work together with our partner agency, the Orleans Police
Department, to learn new skills.
Year to year our emphasis remains on training in our core competencies in firefighting and
rescue skills. Members are reinforcing skill sets in the many areas of our job tasks. Of
particular importance is fire ground rehabilitation, which includes not only proper physical
monitoring but the procedures to care for and clean protective clothing and equipment to
reduce the occurrence of occupational sickness. Live fire training has once again been
conducted by all members at the Barnstable County Fire Training Academy.
Our public education program continues to do great work in our local schools and with our
senior residents. Our first two Citizens Fire Academy classes were perhaps the best public
outreach we have ever accomplished. Local residents learned the inner working of all of our
job tasks, special thanks to the Department members that assisted in that program. Also, to
meet the threat of man-made violence and the increasing danger of marine animals, we are
teaching Stop The Bleed classes throughout the community.
The Fire Prevention bureau has again 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 any
questions you may have regarding codes and ordinances or other safety information.
The Nauset Beach EMT program finished its sixth year of operations and again provided
valuable assistance doing first aid and patrolling the outer beaches to assist in any and all safety
153
needs of the beach going public. This program assists our lifeguards and provides ongoing
medical training all summer long. They also provide countless hours of public education
regarding beach conditions to beachgoers.
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".
Thank you all for your support as we proudly serve you!

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 went off from a barge on Rock Harbor on Sunday, July
1st at dusk. 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. As the Town of Orleans does not monetarily
support the Fireworks they would not happen without the support of private donations.
The 4th of July Parade stepped off from Eldredge Park Way on July 4, 2018. This year’s parade
had a great crowd and the weather cooperated. Delaney Kavanaugh, a student at OES, was
this year’s Theme Contest Winner. She created this year’s great theme Independence Day the
Orleans Way, One Big Family!
The Parade Grand Marshal was Jon Fuller, retired long time Orleans Selectman. Jon’s 14+
years of service to Orleans is appreciated and will be missed.
Len Short, Orleans, 2018 Citizen of the Year, also rode in the parade. Len has contributed to
clean water efforts. He has been a member of the Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners
and the Town of Orleans representative to the Cape Cod Commission.
The Parade had some new entrants as well as many old favorites. Seventy plus contingents
participated including businesses, families, antique cars, and non-profits. Police and fire
marching units, dignitaries and fabulous bands rounded out the parade. What a great time for
both those in the Parade and those watching. The 2018 Parade Winners – Business, 1st Little
Codders, 2nd The Farm, 3rd Orleans Yacht Club Sailing. Non-Profits ,1st Orleans Cardinals
2nd Eastham Orleans Brownie Troop, 3rd Sharing Kindness. Family Awards, 1st Stewart
Family, 2nd Coast to Coast, 3rd Birdsall Family.
A big “Thank You” to all of the businesses that supported us with vehicles, drivers, supplies and
services. 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 an extra Thank You to the
Orleans Chamber of Commerce. Your support is greatly appreciated.
Our Fund Raising Effort The Committee appreciates the Town Meeting appropriation of up to
$8,000 to support the 2018 Parade. This year we made a strong attempt to get a few more
bands, but they were challenged to find trucks and generators to use in the parade. If you can
help, please let the 4th Committee know. This year we were not able to get volunteers to walk
along with the Parade as we have done in the past, requesting donations to help offset the use
of Town funds. We were fortunate that The Orleans Chamber of Commerce and Friends
Marketplace were able to sell 4th of July t-shirts, to support the parade. Thanks so much! 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 2019 Fourth of July activities with a new Committee as the former
Committee decided it was time to step down. The Fireworks will be displayed over Rock
Harbor, at dusk, on Saturday, July 6, 2019 (rain date July 7th). The Parade will step off on
Thursday, July 4, 2019, at 10:00am from Eldredge Park Way.
Please consider joining us on the Orleans Fourth of July Committee.

HISTORICAL COMMISSION
The Orleans Historical Commission was established in 1965 by Town Meeting under Chapter
40, section 8d of the Massachusetts General Laws. The purpose of the Commission is to
preserve the rich historical legacy of our Town through public education, advocacy, applying the
Town’s Demolition Delay Bylaw, and the development and implementation of programs and
activities geared to the preservation of our historic buildings, spaces, and heritage.
During 2018, the Historical Commission led the Town’s commemoration of the 1918 German U-
boat attack on Orleans. On July 21 of that year during the waning days of World War One, the
German Submarine U-156 surfaced about three miles off shore, attacked a tug towing four
barges, and fired several shots that landed on shore. Thus, Orleans became the only place in
the United States to receive enemy fire during the war. Recent research has confirmed that
Orleans was a deliberate target, and that the intention of the U-boat was to sever the vital
communications link between US forces in Europe and the government in Washington DC. The
cable carrying these communications arrived in the US in Orleans at the French Cable Station.
A total of seven events were held during the Spring and Summer as a part of the
Commemoration, culminating in a ceremony at Nauset Beach on July 21 marking the
Centennial of the attack.
The Orleans Historic Properties Survey update was completed in 2018, and the results have
been submitted to the Massachusetts Historical Commission. The Survey was first completed in
the 1970’s and 80’s. With the assistance of a Community Preservation Act grant, survey
updates for 652 historic properties and areas were completed. The historic preservation
consultants that assisted the Commission identified six areas and ten individual properties that
they deem eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The revised survey
provides the current Commission as well as future Commissions with a comprehensive tool for
preserving the rich heritage of our Town.
The Commission continued its evaluation proposing one or more historic districts in Orleans.
Each year, we lose one or more historic buildings that help define the identity of our Town. The
newly obtained data and perspectives in the revised properties survey described above have
been invaluable in this project.
The Commission initiated a public education program designed to illustrate the rich heritage of
our Town and to garner support for the preservation of our remaining significant historical
buildings. Several Commission-authored columns appeared in the Cape Codder, and a series of
public presentations on Orleans History and Historic Preservation were developed for 2019.
With Plymouth 400 approaching, the Commission plans to highlight the strong connections of
the land that became Orleans to the origins and development of Plymouth Colony.

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; Melissa Phillips, Assistant
Director; Robert Plausky, Maintenance Supervisor; and Al Fearnley, Maintenance Assistant for
their hard work throughout a challenging year.

MARINE AND FRESH WATER QUALITY COMMITTEE
The Committee continued to coordinate the water quality monitoring activities of citizen
volunteers for our marine embayments and freshwater lakes and ponds, a continuous 18-year
effort. This year all the data collected since 2000 was formulated into databases and verified for
accuracy and consistency. This puts the data into a more usable form for future planning and
management efforts.
Sampling of embayments occurred in 26 locations: three on Cape Cod Bay, nine in Nauset
Estuary, and 14 in upper Pleasant Bay. Sixty volunteers and 23 boats were recruited, and a
total of 607 samples collected on five mornings between July and the end of August. Samplers
recorded weather conditions and direct measurements of water temperature, salinity, dissolved
oxygen, and water clarity. Samples were sent to the School for Marine Science and
Technology, UMass, Dartmouth (SMAST) for water quality analysis. Nitrogen from septic
systems continues to stress the terminal salt ponds and enclosed embayments resulting in
unhealthy levels of algae growth and low dissolved oxygen levels during the summer especially
in Meetinghouse, PawWah, Arey’s and Lonnie’s Ponds.
The management plan for Cedar Pond has been activated with continuous automatic water
quality monitoring and control of the water exchange with Rock Harbor Creek. The Town
continues to work with Eversource to move its powerlines spanning the pond which were used
as a roost by over 800 double-crested cormorants during the summer. Eversource has agreed
to move the lines used for perching before the birds return in spring of 2019. Pole placement
and new wiring is underway. Reduction in the number of roosting birds should eliminate a large
source of nitrogen and phosphorus from the bird droppings which cause an unhealthy
overgrowth of algae and other aquatic plants.
During the Route 6 repavement project, Mass DOT constructed several retention basins
bordering Cedar Pond to hold road runoff before it reaches Cedar Pond. This should improve
the prior conditions caused by direct discharge into the pond. Priorities for the development of
management plans for freshwater ponds were established. The plan for Uncle Harvey’s Pond
was completed and a report presented to the Board of Selectmen. The Committee is working
158
on implementation plans. Data for the formulation of management plans was gathered for
Pilgrim and Crystal Lakes. The Pilgrim Lake management plan has been drafted.
Volunteer freshwater lake and pond monitoring continued with laboratory support provided by
SMAST during spring and summer sampling seasons. Samples were collected from 14 named
freshwater ponds in spring and 13 ponds in late summer. Water quality in most ponds continues
to decline. 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 Orleans fertilizer bylaw to
reduce nutrient runoff into all waterways. Property owners who border ponds and lakes are
urged to plant and maintain vegetative buffers of native plants at the pond’s edge to capture
runoff.
Committee members continued to serve on the Conservation Commission and Shellfish and
Waterways Advisory Committee.
We thank the volunteers who collect data on our estuaries and ponds. Volunteers are needed
each summer to carry out this important monitoring. Training is provided to those willing to walk
along a beach or take samples from a boat, kayak or canoe. Owning a boat is not necessary. If
interested, please leave your contact information with the Planning Department at Town Hall.

MEMORIAL AND VETERANS DAY COMMITTEE
In 2015 the Memorial and Veterans Day committee was established to work with the American
Legion Post 308 and Brewster VFW to ensure proper recognition of these important holidays. In
conjunction with these retired veterans, this newly formed committee works with local school
bands and organizations including the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America, and the local Sea
Scout detachment.
The general charge of the Committee is to plan, organize and oversee ceremonies and events
honoring our veterans on these holidays. The committee works closely with the Orleans Police
and Fire Departments as well as the Orleans Department of Public Works to ensure proper
resources are in place for a safe celebration. The committee meets quarterly, with an additional
meeting approximately 1 month prior to both Memorial Day and Veterans Day. In the fall of
2018, the Board of Selectmen unanimously voted to include within the charge of the committee
the ability to seek funding to enhance the Memorial Park, located at the intersection of Main St
and Rt 28. The need to do such arose from the request by residents to recognize the sacrifices
of present-day Veterans, who have served during the Gulf war, as well as Afghanistan and Iraq
wars. The committee will seek funding through grants that are available to preserve these
important memorials, as well as enhance and beautify the existing park and monuments.
Presently, the committee is under staffed and welcomes any interested people to attend a
scheduled meeting and possibly join.

NAUSET REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT
Orleans Elementary School’s enrollment continues to increase with seven new students
registered this year and a new class of 33 Kindergarten students! A year-long literacy initiative
“Reading is My Superpower!” has been introduced to promote the joy and magic of reading.
Students are continually involved in literacy experience before, during and after school. We are
grateful to Snow Library for their gift of 220 copies of the book, Gooseberry Park, for the One
Book One School reading initiative. Families are engaged throughout the year at Literacy Night,
STEM Night, Bingo for Books, Music and Art Night, Title One Tea, Talent Night, Mystery
Readers Grandparents’ Day, Family Dances and the Spring Carnival. The OES staff fosters a
nurturing, caring community where opportunities to help others is embraced. Children are taught
the far reaching effects of their acts of kindness whether at the Jost Van Dyke Grammar School
which was devastated by Hurricane Irma, the Endupoto Primary School in Tanzania, Africa that
needed school supplies, “Read to Feed” Heffer International reading initiative, or donating
supplies to Cape Cod Cares for Our Troops. The Parent Group is to be recognized and
commended for all their efforts on behalf of the students providing for a variety of
family/community activities and enrichment programs that are offered outside the school day.
Nauset Regional Middle School welcomed a new Assistant Principal, Julie Kobold. Julie is a
former Nauset graduate and former teacher at Nauset Regional High School in Advanced
Placement studies. MCAS results showed that Nauset Regional Middle School students scored
higher than the state average in ELA and Math. Eighth grade students performed above state
average in Science as well. At the NRMS MakerSpace laser cutters have been installed that
allow completing rapid prototyping in our engineering and design curriculum. The Middle School
held its 4th annual three-week STEAM program during the month of August that was very well
attended. The Music Program continues to bring accolades to the school with gold medals for
orchestra, band, chorus and jazz chorus at the New England Middle School Great East Festival.
Nauset Regional High School welcomed a new Principal, Chris Ellsasser. Chris is a former
Nauset graduate and no stranger to the Lower Cape. His extensive experience and expertise in
the field of education will only enhance the success that Nauset students and families have
come to know. He will also play a major role, along with the Building Committee in looking at a
new building renovation project that will envision learning in the year 2050! What will education
162
look like for our children’s children and how do we meet the needs of our communities in the
future? This is a very exciting time for Nauset Regional High School and we thank you for your
unwavering support when it comes to our children’s education. Our website will be continually
updated with news of the building project, so please visit it often to see how the project unfolds.
Our Program of Studies, which has a wide variety of course selections and our exceptional
teachers provide an education for students that, is second to none.
After many years of research and in keeping with our roof guarantee, solar panels have been
installed on the roof of N Building to assist with lowering electrical costs. Our schools
maintenance departments have been working to replace lights with LED fixtures. The old lamps
had a life expectancy of 1500 hours; the new lamps have a life expectancy of 50,000 hours. We
keep trying to find ways to cut our costs and save our taxpayers dollars. Leasing propane
fueled buses from the Cape Cod Collaborative has also been a cost saving initiative. Through
the time and efforts of a tireless Transportation Subcommittee, they found ways the District
could save money and be more efficient with our bus Transportation. A Nauset student created
the Nauset Tree Project to offset the Nauset Regional School District’s carbon footprint through
the planting of two hundred and fifty Eastern White Pine trees. Once the trees have matured,
they will provide an annual energy offset benefit of $780. Nauset will continue to work with
partners to reduce energy costs, be more environmental and protect this special place that is
our community.
Community weeks are held throughout the District at various times of the year. I encourage you
to make an appointment to arrange for a visit and witness the teaching and learning that is
happening in our schools. Innovative instruction, project-based learning, technology integration
and other new curriculums are featured every day in our teaching and learning environments.
Social Emotional Learning is a major focus for our schools heightening our awareness to the
stress and anxiety our students are feeling. A student risk survey was completed by students in
Grades 3-12 and the District moved forward with curriculums for social and emotional health;
Second Step in Grades K-8 and Botvin in Grades 9-12. Keeping our children healthy and safe
is our greatest concern.
Security continues to be paramount for our schools using Crisis Go; we continue to be more
efficient in our emergency response through security drills and updating our technology. Visitor
registration software using Raptor Technology is in place at all of our schools. We thank the
Police and Firefighters for their support of our schools helping with drills or attending parent
trainings on the Crisis Go app.
The District continues to look at the School Calendar with a subcommittee comprised of
community members, teachers, parents & administrators to develop several options for the
calendar moving forward. These calendar options will be shared with parents, staff, community
members and the school committee for feedback/discussion before any decisions are made.
In my fourth year as Superintendent, I continue to look at all systems and ways that 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. I thank the School Committees, the parents and
the community for their constant support for education in our communities. I am honored and
privileged to be the Superintendent of the Nauset Public Schools. My door is always open and I
look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas.

OLD KING'S HIGHWAY REGIONAL HISTORIC DISTRICT
The Old King's Highway Regional Historic District Committee, acting under Massachusetts
General Law Chapter 470, Acts of 1973, as amended by Chapter 278 and 845, Acts of 1975,
reviews applications of residents of the district for appropriateness.
The Committee met 12 times in 2018 and reviewed 24 applications. The Orleans OKH
chairman, Ron Mgrdichian, participated in five OKHRHD Commission appeal hearings involving
Sandwich, Barnstable, Dennis, and Yarmouth.

OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE
The Town made no open space purchases in 2018. 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. The Committee has reviewed
the Town’s priority open space parcel list and plans to coordinate this list with one maintained by
the Orleans Conservation Trust. In 2018 the Trust acquired 2.6 new acres of open space land,
with the addition of parcels on Crescent Ridge and Braddocks Way.
There is a growing interest in properties that would improve access to and use of the Town’s
waterways by our residents, as was accomplished by the below market value purchase of 2.5
acres abutting the Pah Wah Point Town Landing at the end of Portanimicut Road in 2016. Two
such opportunities were pursued by the Open Space Committee in 2018, Committee
recommended one providing access to Lonnie’s Pond, and the other to Sipson’s Island. In both
instances the Committee recommended that the Selectmen authorize appraisals, where were
completed between July and September 2018. In November 2018 proposals were submitted to
the Orleans Community Preservation Committee for each of the properties. The CPC
Committee will consider the proposals for funding in the 2019 budget cycle. In the case of
Sipson’s Island, the Open Space Committee has been coordinating with a Pleasant Bay
Consortium made up of the Friends of Pleasant Bay and land trusts around the Bay to develop
and implement a purchase plan that would place conservation restrictions on the entire Island
and provide public access to the beaches, mowed trails and open fields.
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.” Since the formulation of the OCP objective in 1999, 360 acres of land have
been protected, or 90% of the 20-year goal.
The Committee seeks to achieve the 400-acre goal in the most cost-effective way possible.
Partnerships, grants and inter municipal agreements can be used to our advantage. We remain
focused on achieving the Town goal in a timely manner and 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.

Moncrieff Cochran, Chairman

ORLEANS 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 Town; 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 Department of Environmental Protection, 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 concurrence of the
primary Stakeholder representatives, or in the absence of a primary, his or her alternate.
169
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.
Members of the Orleans Water Quality Advisory Panel met with the Board of Selectmen at five
public meetings during the past year. All the material from the meetings of February 14, March
14, July 11, September 26 and December 12 is posted on the Town of Orleans website under
the Board of Selectmen. The primary focus of these meetings was to work to develop a fair and
equitable method for sharing the costs of the new downtown sewer system. At its meeting of
December 12th the Board of Selectmen voted unanimously to adopt a method to determine how
the so called betterments would be charged to those properties benefiting from connection to
the new sewer system. This method will require a home rule petition to the Massachusetts
Legislature seeking permission to implement it following action by the Annual Town Meeting in
May 2019.
The work of the committed members of the Orleans Water Quality Advisory panel was
recognized this year with two awards. Region One of the Federal Environmental Protection
Agency recognized the Towns of Orleans, Brewster, Harwich and Chatham for their collective
efforts to clean up Pleasant Bay through the first State and Federal watershed permit. The
Massachusetts Municipal Association also recognized the four towns for their collective efforts
to clean up Pleasant Bay.
At the Annual Town Meeting last May, voters voted unanimously to fund the final design of the
downtown sewer system and treatment plant, which is consistent with the Orleans Water Quality
Advisory Panel’s Consensus Agreement outlining how the Town will proceed to clean up all its
fresh and salt water ponds and estuaries.

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 2018 the members of the Personnel Advisory
Board were Ken Rowell, Tom Genereux, and Gail Meyers Lavin.
The Board held a public hearing at 3:00 p.m. on October 11, 2018 to review proposed
amendments to the Personnel Bylaw, specifically a 2 percent cost of living wage increase for
non-union employees covered by the Personnel Bylaw Compensation Plans and employees
covered by individual contract and employment agreements. The Board voted 3-0-0 to
recommend the proposed amendments to Town Meeting. At the end of the meeting, after Chair
Ken Rowell notified the Committee of his need to resign for personal and family reasons, the
remaining members thanked him for his long and valuable service. The amendments were
presented to the voters as Article 17 in the October 29 Special Meeting warrant, and approved
unanimously.

PLANNING BOARD
As Orleans looks ahead to completion of major road work improvements and capital facilities
projects, the Planning Board in keeping with the Orleans Comprehensive Plan, is working long-
term to make sure development creates a walkable, attractive and vibrant community that hosts
residents of all ages. In addition to regulatory approvals and hearings, the Planning Board
supported the Board of Selectmen and other boards to create the Housing Trust and Cultural
District Committee.
In 2018, the Planning Board held twenty-two meetings and endorsed three Approval Not
Required Plans. Four Definitive Subdivision Plan hearings were held, and no Modification
hearings. One public hearing was held for the trimming or removal of trees and the request was
approved. The Board also provided advisory opinions to the Building Commissioner to aid in
the interpretation of the Zoning Bylaw. The Board brought five zoning bylaw amendments to the
Town Meeting which were approved. Regulations on drive-thru facilities were adopted, soil
removal requirements were updated, and amendments to the Apartment Development section
were approved. At a Fall Town Meeting, the Board brought forward regulations on Marijuana
Establishments, which were amended to exclude retail stores (prohibited by general bylaw). An
article to allow marijuana cultivation in Residential Districts was not approved by the Town
Meeting.
The Planning Board also worked with the Cape Cod Commission on design guidelines to direct
future development to be designed to preserve and enhance community character. A report is
expected in early 2019.

PLEASANT BAY ALLIANCE
The Pleasant Bay Alliance is an organization of the Towns of Chatham, Orleans, Brewster and
Harwich. Formed through an inter-municipal agreement, the Alliance is 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 and distributes public policy recommendations, technical studies and public
information/educational materials, all available on the Alliance website, www.pleasantbay.org.
Highlights from 2018 include:
The Pleasant Bay Citizen Water Quality Monitoring Program completed its 19th monitoring
season. Trained volunteers collected samples at 25 bay-wide sites achieving a 90% collection
rate. Data from the program are used for local and regional nutrient management planning and
implementation.
The Alliance worked with town officials from our member towns, along with representatives of
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), US Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) and Cape Cod Commission to successfully complete the
Watershed Permit Pilot Project. The project culminated in development of: 1) an intermunicipal
agreement among the four Alliance towns to seek a Pleasant Bay Watershed Permit; 2)
completion of the Pleasant Bay Targeted Watershed Management Plan; and 3) development of
Watershed Permit conditions. The Alliance obtained a determination from the Cape Cod
Commission that the Targeted Watershed Management Plan is consistent with the regional 208
Plan. Town Meetings in all four towns approved the intermunicipal agreement. The Watershed
Permit application package was submitted to MassDEP in June, and MassDEP issued the first
of its kind Watershed Permit to the Alliance towns in August. The Alliance and each member
town were awarded an Environmental Merit Award from USEPA Region 1 for this work.
The Alliance applied for and obtained a $250,000 grant from the US EPA Southeast New
England Watershed grants program to fund implementation activities under the Pleasant Bay
Watershed Permit.
The document entitled Guidelines for Managing Erosion in Pleasant Bay was finalized,
incorporating comments from conservation commissions and other stakeholders.
The Alliance prepared the 2018 Pleasant Bay Resource Management Plan Update, and
obtained Town Meeting approvals of the update in all four Alliance towns. The Update has been
submitted to the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs for approval.
At the end of the year Judith Bruce stepped down from the Alliance Steering Committee, and
Selectmen appointed Walter North to the Steering Committee. The Alliance wishes to
acknowledge Judith’s many years of extraordinary service and dedication to the mission of the
Alliance and the interests of the community. The Alliance also wishes to thank the citizens of
Orleans for your ongoing support.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
On behalf of the entire organization, I’m pleased to present this year’s Annual Report for the
calendar year 2018. The department continues to provide accredited police services based on
national best practices for our residents and visitors alike. I am truly thankful for the remarkable
group of dedicated officers, dispatchers and support staff that keep the Orleans Police
Department functioning effectively and efficiently while maintaining the highest level of
professionalism.
During this past year we experienced several officers depart from the Department to explore
other law enforcement opportunities in the Commonwealth. Officer Richard Pellegrino, Officer
Kevin Coffey and Officer Ryan Melia all resigned from their positions. I would like to thank all
three officers for their work in Orleans and wish them the very best in their future endeavors.
After thirty-two years of law enforcement service, Officer Duane Boucher retired from the
Department. Duane’s unwavering commitment to the Police Department and the community as
a whole is a direct reflection of his positive personal attributes and strong desire to serve.
Although we will miss these officers, we are excited about our new hires. Christopher Jurkowski,
Hannah Greene, Andrew Mele, and Terri Therrien have joined our team and I’m confident they
will be excellent additions to the Department.
The Town of Orleans remains a safe community with a low crime rate. The Department’s 2018
crime statistics remain consistent with previous years. Officers responded to 13,672 calls for
service; 106 major motor vehicle crashes resulting in injury or property damage over $1000; 67
arrests or criminal applications, and 2,531 traffic stops. See the detailed activity breakdown at
the end of this report.
In closing, I’d like to acknowledge the overwhelming support the Police Department receives
from the citizens we serve. That support is directly responsible for the new police facility where
we now reside. Our Committee Chairman, Tom Finan and the entire Police Station Committee
deserve the credit from completing a fiscally sound project that will meet our policing needs for
many years to come. The members of the Orleans Police Department are grateful for this
investment and we remain committed to providing high level professional police services to the
community of Orleans.

POLICE STATION BUILDING COMMITTEE
Project Overview: A new Police Station Facility has been constructed on the corner of Route
28 and Eldredge Park Way. The original building was demolished and during the construction
phase, Police Operations were housed in a temporary trailer complex located at 139 Main
Street. The new building was occupied April 24, 2018 and dedicated on June 23, 2018. The
new facility is operating smoothly, and the Police Department is very pleased with their modern
quarters.
Major Project Happenings - 2018
•First Quarter – Work on the interior of the building progressed – Exterior work was
minimal during the winter which featured three Nor’easters during March.
•Second Quarter – Interior work was substantially completed and on April 11, 2018 a
Certificate of Occupancy was received from the Town – The Police Department moved
into their new Facility at 99 Eldredge Park Way on April 24, 2018 – Testing,
familiarization and training progressed on the various systems – Landscaping and
irrigation were completed as the weather improved – The temporary site at 139 Main
Street was decommissioned, the trailers were removed and the site was restored for
future town use. – On June 23, 2018 a dedication/ribbon cutting ceremony and open
house were held.
•Third Quarter – The General Contractor worked on punch list items which describe
minor deficiencies. This is to be expected in a project of this size and complexity – The
site sign on Eldredge Park Way was installed.
•Fourth Quarter – Work continues with the installation of desk-top computers in various
offices and Audio/Visual equipment in the Emergency Operations Center/Community
Room. The ordering of this equipment was purposely delayed until the end of the project
to assure that adequate funding was available within the project budget. The entire
project was completed within budget.
•Wrap Up – On December 12, 2018 the Police Station Building Committee held their 64th
and final Public Meeting. All meetings were held in the Nauset Room at Town Hall,
broadcast live on Channel 18, and available for viewing-on-demand on the Town’s web
site. On December 19, the Committee presented their 23rd and final report to the Board
of Selectmen. The Committee, which was formed on November 19, 2014, reported that
their work was completed and requested that the Committee be sunset. The Board voted
unanimously to do so. A final presentation was made to the Finance Committee on
December 20, 2018. On January 2, 2019, input for the Town of Orleans Annual Report
was submitted to the Town Administrator’s Office.
Final Comments – The Committee is proud to have been part of this project and acknowledges
the participation of Pomroy Associates Project Managers, Kaestle Boos Architects, RAC
Builders and the scores of talented craftspeople who put it all together, as well as the support of
the Town Officials and Taxpayers. Special thanks to Chief Scott MacDonald and his team for
their guidance throughout the project. We could not have had a worthier client than our fine
Police Department. Also noted, is the major contribution of Ron Collins, the Town’s Buildings
and Facility Manager. His extensive knowledge and expertise in every detail of the project was
invaluable and clearly resulted in an improved end product.

RECREATION DEPARTMENT
The Recreation Department consists of a full-time director (30 hours per week) and a seasonal
part time staff during the months of July and August.
The function of the Recreation Department is to provide recreational opportunities for residents
of all ages while utilizing Town owned space such as public tennis courts, recreational fields,
public beaches, playgrounds, gymnasiums and the Community Center. Various programs and
activities are open to seasonal residents and visitors.
The mission of the Recreation Department is to provide and foster opportunities for a healthy
and vibrant community of youth, adults and seniors by developing diverse, affordable programs
and events that promote physical activity, community involvement and environmental
awareness while meeting the physical, psychological and social needs of all residents.
The Recreation Department continues to provide a wide range of summer activities for youth
which include swimming instruction, a summer day program for residents in grades K-8, tennis
instruction, rowing instruction and weekly sports camps. In addition, we partner with Food4Kids,
to provide a daily nutritional snack and lunch to all summer camp participants at no cost.
During 2018, the Recreation Department partnered with the Orleans Senior Center to provide a
weekly fitness class to seniors. In addition, we have utilized the community center building (old
firehouse building) and cooperated with Snow Library to prove a variety of fitness and health
improvement classes throughout the year.
During the spring and fall of 2018 we met the need for developing pickleball in Orleans by
providing a series of instructional programs and providing a place to play this very popular and
growing sport.

RENEWABLE ENERGY COMMITTEE
During the latter months of 2017 and all of 2018, OREC has been reviewing the requirements to
become a DOER Green Community. There were five criteria that the Department of Energy
Resources (DOER) developed. Towns that meet these criteria are eligible to receive an initial
grant of $125,000 plus additional funding based upon per capita income, population and other
177
energy reduction potential. On 12/28/18, DOER announced that Orleans and two other Cape
Cod towns, Harwich and Yarmouth, became Green Communities and received financial awards.
Green Communities are eligible to submit Energy Reduction plans in future years and if selected
will receive additional financial awards. The OREC, along with the BOS, DPW and members of
the Cape Light Compact (CLC), will be analyzing the Town’s energy usage over the next few
years and recommend energy reducing projects.
The capital plan for Orleans involves three major projects, which will impact the electrical energy
usage for the Town in the future. These projects include the new Police Station, the new DPW
facility (almost completed), and the new Waste Water Treatment System (presently under
design). It is estimated that additional electrical energy will be required in the next few years.
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(s) in the future. This could be one way to produce increased
energy and also reduce our overall energy cost.
Many thanks to Jon Fuller, our BOS liaison for the first half of 2018, for his guidance during the
preparation of our Energy Reduction Plan. We also want to thank Ron Collins, DPW Building
Manager, Margaret Song, of the CLC, and Seth Pickering, of DOER, for their excellent support
and participation during this project.
We have an experienced and active group of members on our committee and hope to provide
the Town with qualified energy solutions in the coming years.
At the present time OREC has openings in our committee for additional members. We are
always interested in hearing from Orleans residents about potential energy generation and
reduction projects. The Committee meets monthly and we welcome your participation.

SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES – ORLEANS
For the Town of Orleans, MA, all inspections required in accordance with MGL Chapters 94 &
98 pertaining to Weights and Measures and the Consumer and Merchant Protection Act were
performed by Barnstable Weights and Measures for the period of January 1, 2018 to December
31, 2018. In addition, inspections for complaints, weighing packaged goods, unit pricing, re-
inspections and compliance enhancement were completed.
The inventory for devices (gas meters, scales, cordage and reverse vending machines) has
decreased by 40 this year due to the business closed or removal of devices. Gas meters
maintained their accuracy from the 2017 inspection. Citations were up for pricing errors, over
scans and short weight on food packages. Unit price code inspections provided information to
the store owner on the change in smaller packaging in relation to the unit price code information.
Scanner accuracy proved to be 99% of the seven stores due for inspection 2018.

SHELLFISH AND WATERWAYS IMPROVEMENT ADVISORY
COMMITTEE
In accordance with its charge, the committee serves in an advisory capacity “as a resource to
the Town Administrator, Board of Selectmen (BOS), 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 is comprised of 7 regular members and 2 associate members. Current members
include several fishermen/shellfishermen, a deputy shellfish constable [employed by a nearby
town], a boating safety instructor with the Coast Guard Auxiliary, a sailor, and for most of the
year, a marine biologist. Committee members have a wealth of experience to offer and are
committed to improving the management of the natural resources in Orleans. Meetings are well-
attended, and the discussions are “lively”.
As requested by the BOS, the Committee continues to advise on the Lonnie’s Pond oyster
demonstration project by reviewing and commenting on the Lonnie’s Pond Aquaculture
Management Plan, the oyster over-wintering plan, and the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for
Aquaculture Services as the project transitions to the next phase, in which a commercial grower
will assume responsibility for growing the oysters. The Committee will continue to work with
AECOM, SMAST and other consultants, as well as with the Lonnie’s Pond neighbors to help
ensure a successful project.
As it has done the past several years, the Committee continued its active support for the Pilgrim
Lake Volunteer Herring Count program, improvements to the run, and recommended the
purchase of an electronic fish counter.
The committee also determined that the temporary harbormaster office at 141 Portanimicut
Road should be made a satellite office on a permanent basis and has advocated for that
position with the BOS and the Conservation Commission (ConsCom), which has jurisdiction
over future uses of the property. Committee members hope to be involved in discussions going
forward.
During 2018, the committee addressed a number of other issues, many brought forward by
committee members or members of the public. These included the transfer of aquaculture
grants, use of “jerk rakes” in Town Cove, transfer of charter boat slips in Rock Harbor, and
dredging of Nauset Inlet. The committee nominated 2 members to serve on the Dredging
Advisory Committee when it was formed.
In the past, committee members reached out to similar committees in other towns and
formalized the relationship with Eastham by sending a liaison to their Committee. This has
helped to resolve possible conflicts and protect the reciprocity rights of Orleans residents.
Committee members look forward to continuing their work on these and other issues of concern
in the coming year.

SNOW LIBRARY
While the dedicated, knowledgeable and welcoming staff at Snow Library led by Director Tavi
Prugno continues to deliver access to all types of media to those who live in Orleans and the
outer Cape, the Facilities Advisory Committee in 2018 worked to envision how our library should
evolve to meet the needs of our citizens in the future.
STAFF: In 2018 long-time Technical Services and Reference Librarian, Cheryl Bergeron,
retired and Library Assistant Jean Valenti joined the staff.
BUILDING: This year Snow Library converted all of the fluorescent lighting into LED. The
annual projected cost savings is $4,000 per year in our electricity. The cost for the entire project
in material and labor was $20,344.09 plus permit fees and was paid for entirely by the Cape
Light Compact. The Library successfully applied for a $13,000 grant from the Massachusetts
Board of Library Commissioners to build the Snow Studio. Assistant Director Kaimi Lum has
overseen the creation of this crafting area from conception to reality. A Facilities Advisory
Committee has completed its review of the need to update the library facility and to provide
more space for the popular programs and materials. Its report will be completed and available
early 2019. We appreciate the ongoing efforts of Ron Collins, Town Facilities Manager, to keep
the building usable for its many programs and protect the many valuable library materials
housed in the building, especially during last winter’s flooding events at the library.
TECHNOLOGY: A security surveillance camera has been installed in the Marion Crane Gallery
to protect the monthly art exhibits and other library materials. The Children’s Room upgraded
the technology in that area with the addition of four new computers.
LIBRARY PROGRAMS: 2018 Rowena Myers Music Concert Series was a welcome diversion
from the wintery weather, drawing large audiences of music lovers. In May local historians from
the Orleans Historical Commission, Historical Society, and the French Cable Station discussed
the U-boat attack, its context, and its significance at the1918 Attack on Orleans Symposium at
Snow Library. This town-wide event attracted many locals and summer visitors. Ann Foster,
Youth Services Librarian, continues to bring outstanding and varied programs to Snow Library
for children and youth including actively working with Orleans Elementary School and Nauset
Middle School librarians to provide programs that support reading at all ages and interest levels.
181
Marion Crane Gallery continues to host monthly art shows, open to the public, showcasing local
artists.
STATISTICS: This year 131,302 people visited the library borrowing a total of 149,145 items
from the collection. The Library hosted 635 programs with an attendance of 15,393 people.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: The Friends of Snow Library provide generous support for Snow
Library in financial donations to purchase books, magazines, museum passes, financial
journals, audio books, CDs and DVDs. The Friends continue to make significant contributions in
updating the audiovisual technology in the Marion Crane Gallery. Their Lifetime Learning
Programs provide continuing education and cultural stimulation for residents of the outer Cape
community. The Library is also grateful for the ongoing support and generosity of the following
individuals who made donations in 2018: the Balliett family, Edith Overly, artist Richard Perry,
Wendy Porterfield, and Hans and Alison Rilling.
We are grateful for the many departments of the Town of Orleans for their help in a variety of
ways, especially Liana Surdut, Assistant Town Administrator; Alan McClennen, Selectman and
liaison to the Board of Trustees; Peter Van Dyck, of Information Systems and the Parks
Department. We also thank all of the year round and summer residents of Orleans who make
Snow Library the vital place that it is through their support.

VETERANS’ GRAVES OFFICER
During 2018 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 six 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’ SERVICE
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 2018. 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 $47,095 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 $1,321,275 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 1-508-778-8740 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 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.
In the Service of all Veterans,
Gregory J. Quilty, Director and Veterans’ Agent
Wilfred Remillard, Orleans Service Officer

•Communicable Disease Surveillance including TB case management 15.5hrs
•Public Health Nurse Home Visits for safety and coordination of services 15.5hrs

The VNACC and Cape Cod Hospital Pharmacy collaborated this year in providing a flu clinic at
the Orleans Senior Center. This was very successful and the vaccine and administration cost
was billed to the participants insurance. 150 individuals (no cost to the town)
In addition to the funding sources such as Medicare, Mass Health, Private Insurance or Town
Appropriation, the VNACC actively seeks funds through grants. These funds are needed to
broaden the scope of community services offered.
The VNACC is committed to and continually strives toward understanding the needs of the
community. Please feel free to address any questions or comments to the Public Health and
Wellness Department of the VNACC, located at 434 Route 134, South Dennis, MA 02660, Tel.

WATER DEPARTMENT
The Orleans Water Department is pleased to provide the following report of happenings for
calendar year 2018.
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.
The Water Department as recommended in the 20-year Asset Management Plan contracted
with Wright Pierce Engineers to prepare plans for bidding to bring the Town’s largest producing
well (Well #7) to the Water Treatment Plant in order to utilize it more than just 2-3 months of the
year and to provide a more consistent water quality throughout the Town. The Water
Department hopes to have a bid price for the project at the May 2019 Annual Town Meeting for
approval.
The Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners addressed the following matters in 2018:
• The 20-year Asset Management Plan recommended a 5% rate increase, but because the
Water Department was able to complete projects at a reduced cost, the Board of Water
Commissioners were able to make a recommendation to the Board of Selectmen for a
3.5% water rate increase to begin with the August 1, 2018 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.
• Requested $1,980,000 at the October 2018 Special Town Meeting for a cellular water
meter reading and billing system. The anticipated new meter technology would reduce
the amount of water wasted due to leaks and allow lower rate increases, provide better
customer service, dramatically reduce manpower required to read meters and create the
ability to potentially offer quarterly billing. Customers with this new meter technology
would be able to track usage and set alerts using a smart phone app or 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, flushing 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.

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 13 regular open meetings in 2018, at all of which a quorum was present. Hearings
were conducted on a total of 29 applications. Seventeen (17) special permit applications were
granted, none were denied. Three variance requests were granted, one of which was a
revision of a variance previously issued. Two hearings resulted in a determination by the Board
that prospective revisions to a previously issued special permit were so minor so that further
approval by the Zoning Board was not needed. After one hearing, the Board approved modified
plans for a previously issued special permit. Three applications for variance or special permit
were withdrawn by the applicant. There were no applications for Comprehensive Permit. One
public hearing was called and devoted completely to the question of cannabis control and
permitting, with reference to possible adoption of a zoning bylaw amendment by Town Meeting.
Michael P. Marnik was re-elected Chairman, William McCarthy Vice Chairman, and Emily Van
Giezen was elected Board Clerk. Other continuing Board members were Matthew Cole and
Peter Jablon. Gerald Mulligan and Bruce Taub continued as associate Board members. The
Board maintains a full complement of eight volunteer citizens. Beth McCartney, a regular
member for several terms, resigned in September 2018. The long-term Board Secretary Sandy
Stewart resigned in October 2018. Both resignations were received with the gratitude of the
Board.
Respectfully submitted,
Michael P. Marnik, Chairman
ZONING BYLAW TASK FORCE
Zoning Bylaw Task Force develops zoning proposals in response to guidance from the Planning
Board. Technical and other issues are worked out and recommended language is forwarded to
the Planning Board for public hearing and determination on readiness for Town Meeting action.
In 2018, the Task Force assisted the Planning Board in developing bylaw language to reduce
the minimum lot size for apartments in the Village Center; a bylaw on Marijuana Establishments;
and the regulation of drive-thru facilities. Each of the above were eventually presented to the
Town Meeting.
In the fall, the Task Force reviewed and approved new regulations for stormwater management
required by the EPA; reviewed flood plain impacts on buildable upland; and discussed methods
of better regulating short-term rental signs. These issues may be presented at the 2019 Annual
Town Meeting.
In late 2018, the Board of Selectmen approved an updated Committee charge that more closely
follows state law and current practice.
