This Book is Dedicated
To The Memory of
Margie E. Fulcher
January 9, 1951 – May 11, 2019
Margie Fulcher, a proud native Cape Codder, was a woman who will be remembered for her
leadership and dedication to Orleans and its residents. Margie was born at Cape Cod Hospital
and grew up on Rte. 6A in Orleans, where her family had a farm stand where the Christmas Tree
Shop now stands. Graduating from Orleans High School in 1969, Margie went on to work at
Orleans Pharmacy and quickly became manager due to her “impeccable work ethic, attention to
detail and due diligence.” After marrying her soul mate Paul Fulcher and starting a family, Margie
became keenly interested in town and local activities in Orleans. She became a member of the
Orleans School Committee in 1981, where she served for 6 years before becoming a member
and Chairperson of the Nauset Regional School Committee until 2003. In 2003 she became a
member of the Orleans Board of Selectman, where she served three terms (9 years), four of those
years as Chairwoman.
Margie was a devoted mother and wife who never missed a single game or school activity that
her daughters Vicki and Tina were involved in. She was their Brownie leader and served on the
Eldredge Park Playground and OES Playground fundraiser committees to ensure the best for her
daughters and all the children in the community. In 2003 she was awarded the MASC Lifetime
Achievement Award for her service to her community. In addition, she, along with her husband
Paul, were honored as Orleans Citizens of the Year in 2014.
Margie loved basket weaving, cribbage and playing Uno with her family. Her loving husband Paul,
daughters Vicki and Tina, and her grandchildren, Cedella, Bryson and Rylan were the light of her
life and always brought a smile to her face. Her wit, sarcasm, wonderful sense of humor and
distinct laugh are just some of the things we dearly miss about her.

BOARD OF SELECTMEN AND TOWN ADMINISTRATOR
In 2019, 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.
• Secured voter approval for final construction funding for the Downtown Sewer Collection,
Wastewater Treatment Plant and Effluent Disposal System and received a grant through the
Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan program that will provide a 2% interest rate
loan during construction and the project is eligible for a 30-year 0% interest rate loan because
the primary purpose is nutrient reduction.
• Secured voter approval to establish a special purpose stabilization fund to help offset the
ongoing costs related to wastewater by dedicating 100% of the local option rooms excise tax
that the Town receives from a bed and breakfast, hotel, lodging house, and short term rental
or motel.
• Secured voter approval for supplemental funding to complete the Main Street Reconstruction
& Village Center Streetscape project for the section of Main Street between Routes 6A and
28 to improve motor vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian movements and enhance pedestrian
activity in the downtown area.
• Secured voter approval for an amendment to the Orleans Home Rule Charter to change the
name of the “Board of Selectmen” to “Select Board”.
Also in 2019, Board member Alan McClennen’s term expired and Cecil Newcomb 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,
Mark Mathison, Chairman John F. Kelly
Board of Selectmen Town Administrator

TOWN CLERK
The Clerk’s office posts meetings and schedules meeting rooms for Town boards, committees
and commissions, on our official posting board and on the town’s website. Located “front and
center” in the main entrance lobby, we are frequently busy greeting, assisting and directing the
public.
In addition to our routine “public” activities of registering voters, conducting Town meetings and
elections, issuing dog licenses, registering and certifying birth, marriage and death records,
issuing business certificates, raffle permits and gas storage tank permits and serving as the
switchboard and information center for Town government, we also work behind the scenes in
cataloging and preserving the ongoing and historical records of the Town.
On our website, the meeting schedule calendar provides easy access to meeting agendas and
minutes that have been filed with us. 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.

ARTICLE 61. ENFORCING FEDERAL IMMIGRATION POLICY – BY PETITION
To see if the Town will vote to adopt the following Resolution:
A Resolution Regarding U.S. Federal Policy Concerning Refugees and Immigrants
Orleans is a community which welcomes visitors from all over the world and celebrates diversity
as a source of strength. Our success is grounded in a generosity of spirit to our neighbors, not in
fears for our own security.
In recent months, the Federal Administration’s actions towards immigrants and refugees have
been inconsistent with these values. The Administration has promulgated extreme policies,
including:
‘Zero tolerance’ for those seeking asylum who cross our nation’s borders, resulting in the
inhumane separation of children from parents and burgeoning detentions and deportations;
Preventing asylum seekers from entering the United States;
Drastically decreasing the number of refugee admissions by lowering the annual target, slowing
down vetting procedures and discriminating against those from some Muslim majority nations;
Increasing the arrests, detentions and deportations of unauthorized residents who have
committed no crimes, uprooting lives and families;
Proposing to deny green card legal status to immigrants who receive basic government services
(such as nutrition and medical care) which might help them to become self-sustaining.
These policies have been promulgated through fear and false claims about the lives of newcomers
and their impact on the United States. They have diminished our nation’s standing in the world
by eroding our moral authority. To date, our elected leaders have been unable or unwilling to act
to reverse these policies.
Therefore, because we recognize the genuine contributions that immigrants, refugees, asylees
and those seeking asylum, and those here on Temporary Protected Status, make to our society
91
the Town Meeting of Orleans, through the Board of Selectman, calls upon Congress and the
Administration to:
Enact comprehensive immigration reform, with appropriate border protections, that establishes
merciful and humane processes for handling refugees and those seeking asylum and takes a
reasonable approach toward the millions of unauthorized persons living in our midst, including the
Dreamers;
Cease the arbitrary arrests, detentions, and deportations of persons who have not been convicted
of serious crimes;
Treat both documented and undocumented people with the humanity and dignity they deserve.
Or to take any other action relative thereto. (Simple Majority Vote Required)
MOTION: To accept and adopt Article #61 as printed in the warrant.
ACTION: Voice vote, motion passes the necessary majority.
ARTICLE 62. ADOPT GENERAL BYLAW CH. 129 – PLASTIC CONTAINER PROHIBITION –
BY PETITION
To see if the Town will vote to adopt the following as a general bylaw and to insert it into the
Code of the Town of Orleans as Chapter 129, § 129-l:
The procurement by the Town of Orleans of either water or any other beverage in plastic
containers of any size is prohibited, and the dispensing of water or any beverage in plastic
containers is prohibited on Town property. Or to take any other action relative thereto.
(By Petition) (Simple Majority Vote Required)
MOTION: To accept and adopt Article #62 as printed in the warrant with the following revisions:
• Effective September 1, 2020, the procurement by the Town of Orleans of either
water or any other beverage in plastic containers of any size is prohibited, and the
sale of water or any beverage in plastic containers is prohibited on Town property.
• Any Town department when engaged in public safety operations shall be exempt
from this Bylaw.
• In the event of a declaration (by Emergency Management Director, or other duly-
authorized Town, Commonwealth, or United States official) of an emergency
affecting the availability and/or quality of drinking water for Orleans residents, the
Town shall be exempt from this Bylaw until seven (7) calendar days after such
declaration has ended.
ACTION: Voice vote, motion passes unanimously.
ARTICLE 63. RESOLUTION TO CREATE COMMISSION RELATIVE TO THE STATE SEAL
& MOTTO – BY PETITION
To see if the Town will vote to adopt the following resolution to provide for the creation of a Special
Commission relative to the Seal and Motto of the Commonwealth:
Whereas the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Euro-Colonists at Plymouth Plantation, which
gave rise to the long chain of genocidal wars and deliberate policies of cultural destruction against
Native Nations of this continent, is approaching in the year 2020, affording every citizen of the
92
Commonwealth a chance to reflect upon this history and come to a new awareness of a better
relationship between the descendants of the Euro-colonial immigrants and the Native Nations of
the Commonwealth;
Whereas Native Americans have long suffered the many cases of abuse of racism, the
appropriation of their symbols for public schools and sports teams, the diminution, and pollution
of their ancestral lands and the encroachment of their culture;
Whereas Cape Cod towns and villages continue to examine the symbols, names, and features
that convey disrespect for the people of Native Nations and their culture;
Now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED that the Town of Orleans hereby adopt this resolution in
support of HD. 2776 and SD.1877 and vote to:
Support the proposed legislation by the Senate and House that “a special commission is hereby
established (1) for the purpose of investigating the features of the official seal and motto of the
Commonwealth including those which potentially have been unwittingly harmful to or
misunderstood by the citizens of the Commonwealth and (2) for the purpose of examining the
seal and motto of the Commonwealth to ensure that they faithfully reflect and embody the historic
and contemporary commitments of the commonwealth to peace, justice, liberty and equality and
to spreading the opportunities and advantages of education.”
This article will not 1) require changes to existing town regulations; 2) require a public hearing;
and 3) create ongoing expenses and is not required to be included in the capital outlay
recommendations. Or to take any other action relative thereto. (By Petition)
(Simple Majority Vote Required)
MOTION: To accept and adopt Article #63 as printed in the warrant.
MOTION TO AMEND: To amend Article #63 by deleting the entire second paragraph starting
“Whereas the…”.
ACTION ON THE AMENDMENT: Voice vote, fails to attain necessary majority.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE
2019 was a year of progress, with the Affordable Housing Committee working jointly with the
Housing Trust to purchase 2 properties and set the groundwork for larger affordable housing
developments. The Town funded the purchase of a building lot for Habitat for Humanity in South
Orleans and purchased a 2-bedroom condominium on Old Colony Way which will be rented in
2020 at an affordable rate.
The committee spent much of 2019 evaluating the conversion of the Cape Cod Five Operations
Center on West Road to 40-50 housing units. A project is feasible using the Low Income Housing
Tax Credit program. In 2020, the Town will work with the property owner to identify a potential
developer to take ownership and construct the project.
The committee also worked on a potential conversion of the former Universal Lodge property at
107 Main Street. The property is currently owned by Cape Abilities and is being considered for
rental apartments. The committee spent considerable time working with non-profit agencies
which could own and manage the property.
The Affordable Housing Committee conducted outreach efforts to help citizens understand the
housing needs of the community and their fellow residents.
Respectfully submitted,
Katherine Wibby, Chair
AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST BOARD
The Affordable Housing Trust Board was formally appointed by the Board of Selectmen early in
2019 and convened for its first meeting on January 30, 2019. The Trust has worked closely with
the Affordable Housing Committee in order to fully understand our respective responsibilities. On
October 30, 2019 the Committee and the Trust unanimously adopted a set of guiding principles
which outline how the two organizations will operate together to produce affordable housing in
Orleans.
The Trust has authorized funding for two affordable housing units this year. It provided funds to
Habitat for Humanity to acquire a one-half acre lot on Quanset Road where Habitat will construct
a two-bedroom single family house. The Trust also purchased a two-bedroom condominium on
Old Colony Way. This unit is currently being refurbished and when completed it will be leased as
an affordable unit to an eligible tenant who makes no more than 80% of the average medium
income for Barnstable County.
The Trust has been involved in two additional affordable housing developments. The first involves
the possible conversion of the Cape Cod Five Cents Savings Bank Operations Center on West
Road into affordable residential housing units. The bank will be vacating the building later in 2020
when it centralizes its operations in Hyannis. Feasibility studies have been completed by the Trust
and formal discussions with Cape Cod Five officials are scheduled to begin in early 2020.
98
A second development involves the possible reuse of the former Masonic Temple property at 107
Main Street. The current owner, Cape Abilities, approached the Trust last spring about a possible
sale for affordable housing. The Trust has commissioned two feasibility studies that indicate that
creation of new affordable housing units is possible. Formal discussions are scheduled to begin
early in 2020.
Finally, the Trust has been coordinating with the Town’s Finance Department which is conducting
negotiations with banks for a possible line of credit which would allow the Trust to act quickly to

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 2019 the Council continued to work with the Conservation Department. Five farming plots were
leased at Putnam Farm.
The Council worked with the Shellfish and Waterways Committee to recommend to the Planning
Board and the Select Board changes in Orleans bylaws that would extend the protection of the
Right to Farm bylaw to fishermen.
The Council continues its long-term project of local implementation of the New England Food
Vision (www.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.

ANIMAL REGULATION TASK FORCE
The Animal Regulation Task force is charged with reviewing existing animal control bylaws and
making various recommendations regarding the use of public lands for dog-related activities in
the Town of Orleans.
In making our decisions and recommendations, we strive to consider: (1) the benefits and
detriments of any conduct to be restricted, (2) the collateral consequences of any restriction, (3)
the numbers of people who are likely to be affected, both beneficially and adversely, and (4) the
various alternative ways of accomplishing the same objectives.
STATUS IN RELATION TO MAJOR (CONDENSED) CHARGE ITEMS
1. Review existing Town enactments as they relate to the issues of dog access, restrictions and
owner requirements.
We are considering recommended amendments to the bylaws, and expect to make an interim
submission before the end of February 2020. Among other things, we are considering how to
deter the leaving behind of canine waste, and local amendments to enhance the Massachusetts
laws governing dangerous dogs which apply in Orleans. The Chair researched municipal liability
for dog bites, and found no reason for concern in the absence of (1) an undertaking or other
special duty on the municipality's part to provide safety, or (2) animal-specific notice of a danger.
As to this last item, we recommend a review by Town Counsel.
2. Catalog current town properties/areas where dogs are permitted and identify potential new
properties/areas that could be considered for general dog access, or as a defined dog park.
We received a presentation by John Jannell in regard to town-owned properties, and
corresponding dog regulations. We plan to consider whether some lands not currently used for
general dog walking activities might be suitable for expanded dog access.
With respect to a dog park, we have so far noted questions and concerns about citizen demand,
funding, and potential municipal liability, as noted in greater detail in our interim report of
December 31, 2019 to the Select Board. We expect to complete our review of this issue some
time in 2020.
3. Research potential ideas, options and bylaws gathered from other communities, including grant
funding sources, that may be adaptable to Orleans.
We have catalogued dog laws in nearby towns. We have partially researched grant options for
dog parks (refer to item 2 above).
FUTURE ACTION ITEMS
Among other things, we expect to consider non-regulatory approaches to promoting responsible
dog ownership, including, for example, better signage, education as a condition of dog licensing,
and revocable passes for high-traffic areas.

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). To ensure our local input on county issues, each
of Cape Cod’s 15 Towns is represented by an elected Delegate. 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 population, with Barnstable currently having the largest vote (20.92%) and
Truro having the smallest vote (0.93%). The Orleans vote is currently 2.73%. The County
government deals with regional issues; issues that affect all towns on the Cape. As the County's
legislative branch, the Assembly sets priorities for County Government, including dredging our
waterways, testing our water and food quality, funding the child advocacy center, supporting
programs for the homeless, opioid addiction, treatment and prevention and other human service
needs, collection of hazardous materials, and mosquito, tick and disease control, managing
transportation, emergency planning, affordable housing and senior programs, supporting
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, and the Standing Committee on Public Services, is
responsible for 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.
Particular areas of concern this year include improving the County's financial condition,
restructuring the management of county owned properties, revamping employment policies,
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.

BOARD OF ASSESSORS
The Board of Assessors saw a change in leadership in 2019. After eight years of service to the
Board and the town, Board chairman Nicholas Bono decided not to seek reappointment at the
end of his term. The Board and the Assessing office staff want to wish Nick well and thank him
for the time he gave and his efforts made on behalf of his fellow residents. Long-time Board
Member Timothy Brady was chosen to fill the vacated chairman slot. In addition, the empty seat
on the Board was quickly filled by Mr. William Overton, who served in a similar capacity in
Connecticut for many years. The Board and the Assessing office staff extends Bill hearty
welcome.
FY2019 was an interim valuation year for Orleans. 147 qualified real estate transactions that took
place in Orleans in 2017 and 2018 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 $4,095,725,280. This is a 3.3% increase from FY2018, 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 FY2019 was $619,000 and the
median value of a condominium was $230,800.
In FY2019, the Board committed 6,347 real estate tax bills, 2,881 personal property tax bills, 9,698
motor vehicle excise tax bills and 851 boat excise bills to the Treasurer’s office for a total of
$31,628,249.07 of tax revenue. In addition, the Board received 34 applications for real estate and
personal property abatements, 33 of which were granted. We also granted 452 motor vehicle
excise abatements and 33 boat excise abatements. The Board also granted 95 real estate
property tax exemptions.
We are also continuing our annual effort to meet state-mandated property inspection
requirements. The Assessor 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 FY2019, 864 properties were inspected. 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 Assessing office is also a US Passport Acceptance facility. In FY2019, we processed
257 passport applications resulting in $8,995.00 in revenue for the town. Assessing also brought
in an additional $1,630.00 in fee revenue.

BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN COMMITTEE REPORT
The Orleans Bike and Pedestrian Committee is charged by the Board of Selectmen: “to preserve,
promote and enhance the safety of cyclists and pedestrians in Town”. The committee recognizes
that year-round cycling and pedestrian activities are an important means of recreation and provide
local transportation options. In addition, studies have shown significant economic and health gains
for communities that develop opportunities for walking and riding. Therefore, the committee is
committed to advising the Board and appropriate town departments as necessary to ensure safe
opportunities for all users of our roadways and walkways. The committee is made up of five
regular and two associate members. At this writing, 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 typically meets monthly at 5:00 PM on the fourth Tuesday at Town Hall and has
been busy with a number of tasks. We work collaboratively on these with the Traffic and Parking
Study Committee, the Department of Public Works and the Planning Board as many of our goals
overlap. In the spring, we accomplished improvements on West Road extending from the Cape
Cod Rail Trail north over the Rt 6 bridge to Salty Ridge Road. In addition to creating a dedicated
bike lane on both sides of the road, signage was consolidated and improved so that those using
the CCRT would have clear directions and a safe route. Observations over the summer noted
less disruption of traffic for motorists and less confusion for cyclists and walkers. The flashing
yellow lights at the pedestrian/bike crossing at Main Street and Old Colony Way were upgraded
with a new circuit board so that the motion sensor would be reliable. The committee has also
produced an updated map for cyclists with rules of the road and key destinations identified. We
have applied for a small Community Preservation grant and hope to publish this pamphlet in
summer 2020.
Most significantly, the committee continues to promote and educate citizens to the principles and
practices of Complete Streets. A Complete Street provides accommodations for all users
including motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists and persons with disabilities. With support from the
Planning Board and Board of Selectmen, the town received a small planning grant from MassDot
to explore implementation of a Complete Streets policy for the town. A public input session was
held on December 3rd and facilitated by The Cape Cod Commission to solicit input for a
Prioritization Plan, which will guide future development of infrastructure and help the town gain
access to state and federal funding.
The Orleans committee continues its partnership with committees from the towns of Brewster,
Chatham and Harwich 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.

BOARD OF HEALTH
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 69 of the 70 samples analyzed in 2019 met the
bacteriological limits. The site of the individual sample that exceeded the bacteriological limit was
immediately retested and passed. No beach closures were required.
In 2019 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 2019 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
Orleans Design Guidelines
Cape Cod Commission staff completed and delivered a new set of design guidelines for the
Town of Orleans in June 2019. The Orleans Design Guidelines are for new construction in
commercial zoning districts and describe the key elements that make up Orleans’ architectural
character. Commission and town staff worked closely in development of the document, soliciting
community input at key points. This program was funded, in part, through the Massachusetts
Department of Housing and Community Development’s District Local Technical Assistance
program.
Outer Cape Shark Mitigation Alternatives Analysis
An evaluation and study of cost-effective shark safety and mitigation measures received $50,000
in District Local Technical Assistance funding through the commission. The study was a multi-
town effort of the regional Shark Working Group, which includes Orleans. The resulting report,
Outer Cape Shark Mitigation Alternatives Analysis, was issued in October 2019 by the Woods
Hole Group.
Orleans Complete Streets
The Town of Orleans joined the Massachusetts Department of Transportation Complete Streets
program, which aims to address the mobility needs of all users: pedestrians, cyclists, drivers,
107
persons with disabilities, and transit riders. Commission transportation staff was engaged to
facilitate and draft a prioritization plan.
A public meeting to gather input from residents and roadway users was held in December. A
final report is due in 2020.
Regional Policy Plan Update
A significant update of Cape Cod Commission's guiding document for planning and regulation,
the Regional Policy Plan, was approved as a county ordinance in January, 2019. It provides a

CAPE LIGHT COMPACT JPE
Cape Light Compact JPE is an intergovernmental organization 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.
Effective July 1, 2017, the Cape Light Compact reconstituted itself as a joint powers entity
pursuant to Massachusetts General Law Chapter 40 Section 4A1/2, becoming the first joint
powers entity in Massachusetts. Reorganizing as a joint powers entity protects member towns
from potential liabilities and mandates greater financial accountability through expanded
reporting requirements to the Massachusetts Department of Revenue and member Towns, and
designation of Treasury functions to an independent entity.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Cape Light Compact offers an energy efficiency program that provides technical assistance and
valuable incentives and rebates to residential and business customers, whether you rent or own
your home or business space. The energy efficiency programs give customers the power to take
control of their energy use, reduce their energy bills, and protect the environment.
The first step to saving energy is a free energy assessment that will identify improvements that
can be made and how much energy can be saved. Please call Cape Light Compact at (800)
797-6699 to register your home or business.
In the Town of Orleans, the Cape Light Compact accomplished the following in 2019:
Note: The data above does not include activity from November and December 2019 due to the date of this publication. Please visit www.capelightcompact.org/reports/

resulting in negative kWh savings. Strategic electrification for example is primarily focused on the adoption of Heat Pump technology which may reduce the use of
oil or propane but increase the use of electricity and increase peak demand. The Program Administrators have determined that these measures are still cost effective,
and provide benefits to customers in a more holistic, integrated approach that helps customers address their energy use and associated costs based on their
individual needs and goals, while aligning with the broader Commonwealth energy and greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals.
CONSUMER ADVOCACY
Since 1997, Cape Light Compact has advocated for the ratepayers of Cape Cod and Martha’s
Vineyard at the local and state level.
In 2019, the Compact continued its focus on grid modernization, joining with other parties to
submit a letter to the Department of Public Utilities (DPU) urging the opening of an investigation
on the grid-facing grid modernization investments, including advanced metering infrastructure.
This follows the DPU’s last set of grid modernization orders in May 2018, which approved some
of the utilities’ requests but deferred decisions on customer-facing technologies (such as
advanced metering infrastructure) to future proceedings. The Compact and other parties are
now asking the DPU to begin where their last orders left off and start investigating how customer-
facing grid modernization technologies will be deployed.
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 2019, the Compact’s power supplier for all residential, commercial, and industrial
customers was NextEra Energy Services of Massachusetts (NextEra). The Compact is pleased
that our residential price in 2019 was lower on average than the utility’s basic service residential
price. The Compact has been a green aggregation since January 2017, meaning 100 percent of
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 SE Massachusetts.
In March 2019, the Compact launched two new power supply options, CLC Local Green 50 and
CLC Local Green 100. The CLC Local Green program gives customers the ability to support
local renewable energy development by opting to pay a small premium on their monthly electric
bill. The Compact uses this premium to purchase and retire Massachusetts Class 1 RECs to
match either 50 percent or 100 percent of customers’ annual electricity usage, in addition to the
RECs retired as part of the Compact’s standard power supply product. These RECs are sourced
from renewable energy projects in New England, including several solar installations on Cape
Cod. By participating in CLC Local Green, customers are driving the market to bring new
renewable energy resources online at home in New England.
At a regional level, New England continues to face electricity pricing spikes 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 50 percent of the 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. 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
114
customers. Until this issue is resolved, either through additional natural gas or electric
transmission 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 mitigate the impacts of higher winter electricity pricing through innovative energy
efficiency programs.
As of December 2019, the Compact had approximately 4,604 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 from a 3% local surcharge on real estate property taxes (surtax) and from a
state match of up to 100% of the surtax revenues through the state Community Preservation
Trust Fund. CPA funds are to be spent on open space, community housing, historic preservation
and recreation projects which contribute to the goals of the Community Preservation Plan and
the Orleans Comprehensive Plan.
The nine-member Orleans Community Preservation Committee (CPC), created through state
statue and local bylaw, administers the CPA, conducts the project selection process, and awards
funds to eligible projects, subject to Town Meeting approval.
At the beginning of the year, sixteen projects in various stages of completion were being
monitored by the Committee to ensure that 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 in the CPA budget (Article 11) at the May Annual Town Meeting:
• Orleans Historical Society Preservation (Phase 3) $200,000
• French Cable Station Museum Artifact Historic Preservation $ 31,625
• Orleans Veterans Memorial Park Evaluation and Assessment $ 10,000
• CDP Lower Cape Housing Municipal Institute $ 7,500
• Orleans Affordable Housing Trust Fund $300,000
• OCT Nesting Habitat Enhancement $ 1,275
• Eldredge Park Playground Improvements (Phase 2) $ 39,754
Town Meeting approved these projects, totaling $590,154, as well as $374,609 for open space
debt and $25,000 for FY 2020 committee expenses, for a total CPA program budget of $989,763.
In separate articles, the CPC recommended, and the Town voted to rescind $48,190.73 for the
HECH Emergency Loan Program due to inactivity, and to transfer those funds to the Affordable
Housing Trust. Additionally, the CPC recommended, in separate articles, acquisition of two open
115
space parcels. Both were approved by a majority vote, but neither received the necessary 2/3
vote for borrowing.
In November, 22 applications (more than twice the usual number) were received for projects
seeking FY21 funding. In recent years the state match has been far less than 100% of local
surtax revenues. However, in 2019 state legislation amended Registry of Deeds fees to increase
revenue for the CPA Trust Fund and thus, a larger “state match”.
The Community Preservation Committee remains committed to supporting projects that
preserve the character and beauty of Orleans in the areas of open space, community housing,
historic preservation and recreation. For more information, visit the CPC Web page at

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 2019, the Conservation Commission heard
approximately 38 Notices of Intent, 74 other filings including Certificates of Compliance,
Amended Orders, and Requests for Determination, and reviewed and completed 145
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 2019, 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 DISTRICT
The inception of an Orleans Cultural District Town Committee was approved by the Select Board
in 2018. The Committee held their first meeting in January of 2019.
The first action was to remove the words, “Village Center" in the District’s original Designation
Title, in order to reflect the location of all of Orleans' Cultural Assets, from the Bay to the Ocean
and from the Rotary to Skaket Corners. The new district title,
”The Orleans Cultural District” was approved by the Select Board and the Massachusetts
Cultural Council.
The Orleans Cultural District is coordinating the replacement of 5 existing Cultural District signs,
making site changes at 2 strategic locations expanding District Definition and using a new 2019
MCC Sign Design for all State Cultural Districts.
Design work is complete for custom Light Post Banners that will represent specific neighborhood
areas of Orleans, creating an inclusive Orleans Cultural District and addressing the goals of
Town Streetscape Plans. Funds were provided by the MCC Cultural District 2019 Re-
Designation Grant.
The “I Spy” Cultural Walking Map for Orleans was updated to incorporate new sculptures and
murals in the Town’s central area. Over the summer, 1000 walking maps were distributed to
regional schools, families, and visitors, meeting pedestrian-friendly and family-oriented
Streetscape goals for the Town and the District.
Participating in ARTWEEK, a statewide program promoting cultural events the first week of May,
the Orleans Cultural District facilitated 4 ArtWeek events and an Orleans video that was
showcased at the State ArtWeek Program Review in Boston. A grant proposal to continue these
artist events in 2020 was submitted to the AFCC, but was not approved. The District Committee
will pursue alternative funding.
119
A revision of the Orleans Cultural District Map has been initiated to reflect the new Geographical
Definition of the District and to Update All Cultural Assets and Historical Resources within the
Town.
In June, the Orleans Cultural District commissioned a Michael Magyar Seasonal Sculpture for
Orleans in collaboration with the Orleans Cultural Council Public Art Fund. This project met 3 of
the District goals for 2019 and the Town’s Streetscape recommendations for Public Art. To
enhance Media representation for the Orleans District, Committee members created a job
description and contracted a part -time Media Staff person.
After researching current needs and initial goals for the 2019 MCC Cultural District $5000 Re-
Designation Grant, the Committee fine-tuned and fully spent the allocation as required by June
30th. In the Fall, an additional $5000 MCC grant was offered to all State Districts. The Orleans
Cultural District completed a new proposal by October and received State approval. Funds are
available in January of 2020.
The District Committee was invited by the Town Planning Board to partner in planning
improvements for the Rt. 6A Corridor Project, as developed by the Cape Cod Commission, and
the Orleans Streetscape Zoning Guidelines. Committee Members presented recommendations
to the Planning Board. The OCD spearheaded and facilitated a regional meeting of Cape and
Islands Cultural Districts and Councils in November. Partnering with the Cape Cod Chamber of
Commerce and the MCC Cultural District Program Directors, participants met in Hyannis and
exchanged resources, programs and funding information. We continue to promote the
idea of cultural districts and councils working together regionally.
November and the first week of December centered around the establishment of the
commissioned Magyar Lighted Seasonal Sculpture. After Site reviews and Proposed Designs,
the final choice was to install a Duke of Orleans, for whom the Town was named, on the grounds
of the Old Meetinghouse on Main St. The skeletal welded structure arrived in November and the
lighting was completed by December 5th.
The Sculpture installation, coordinated by the Orleans Cultural District, benefited by the
collaboration of The Orleans Cultural Council and The Center for Culture and History in Orleans
(OHS). The completed sculpture involved the attachment of 3500 lights, 220 volunteer hours,
and 16 various volunteers. The Duke will be tipping his hat to Orleans for many seasons to
come. To accompany the sculpture, a large historic oil portrait of the Duke of Orleans, (ca. 1780)
that was gifted to the Town, was placed on display in the Entry of Town Hall.
The Orleans Cultural District will plan on initiating and participating in all collaborative efforts
between other organizations, State Programs, Town Committees, and the Planning Board, to
work towards strengthening the unique sense of place and history of Orleans by enhancing
cultural enrichment and stimulating economic activity.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
Highway Department
The highway department is responsible for the maintenance and improvement of approximately
60 miles of roadway and roadsides, the repair and maintenance of related stormwater drainage
systems (catch basins and manholes) and the repair and maintenance of related BMP structures
ensuring that the systems are operating properly. The department is responsible for the repair
and maintenance of over 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 2019 include the following:
Drainage:
• Culvert repair on Rock Harbor road at 2 locations
• Relining of drain pipe at Goose Hummock
Safety Improvements:
• Extensive Training with Staff including OSHA 30, Confined Space, Competent Person
Training related to trench safety. Stop the Bleed, AED training, Civilian response to active
shooting training. The creation of the Orleans DPW and Natural Resources Health and Safety
committee which meets every other week to improve safety within the whole department. The
Department added additional Yellow flashing lights at the bike/ pedestrian crossing at the
Cape Cod Rail trail on Main St./ Old Colony location. The Department installed solar powered
speed warning signs on Monument Rd., Eldredge Parkway, and relocated the sign on Beach
Road for optimum solar function.
Roadway Improvements:
• Overlay paving was achieved on Bridge Road, Heritage Drive, Ridgewood Road, Ruggles
Road, Old Duck Hole, Harbor Hill Road.
• Patching of roadways occurred on Gilman Lane, Fox Ridge Drive, Pleasant View, Gibson
Road, Wood Ridge Road, Lovell Lane, Giddiah Hill Road, Rayber Road.
• Roads that were patched, crack sealed and received a chip seal application were Sturbridge
Drive, Pilgrim Drive, Windsor Lane, Portanimicut Road, Highwood Road, Colonial Drive.
Other Projects:
• Creating storage bins out of concrete blocks for various materials used in town for different
needs. This is located next to the towns new Salt Shed storage.
• Installing steel bollards filled with concrete in front of the New DPW Facility.
• Worked with Auctions International to sell off surplus equipment that is no longer used by any
department. Held 4 online auctions netting $21,676.00 to the town.
• Completion of the new compost pad located on the top of the existing capped landfill. All work
was permitted and approved by both the Department of Environmental Protection and the
Town of Orleans Board of Health.
• The Department continued to maintain and repair the town roadways and road edges areas.
Significant time and effort were spent addressing potholes, patching areas and repairing and
improving berms and curbing to improve drainage along roadways. Repairing of drainage
121
Infrastructure is always a priority along with roadside brush cutback and roadside mowing of
grasses.
• The Department continued to maintain the town drainage system. This work involves the
maintenance of 1500 catch basins and leaching pits and drainage piping. The department
removed approximately 50 tons of material from drainage structures. The material collected
from this process is a regulated waste material by the Department of Environmental Protection
and its disposal must be permitted.
• The Department swept up approximately 150 tons of sand and debris from the roadways and
parking lots in 2019. Similar to the catch basin material the disposal of street sweepings is
also regulated by the Department of Environmental Protection.
During winter operations the Highway Department is responsible for preventing and addressing
icing conditions and the clearing of snow from roadways and town parking lots including the
Nauset Regional Middle School and the Orleans Elementary School. The Department is also
responsible to clear 7 miles of sidewalk owned by the town and the state.
In 2019 the department responded to 13 recorded winter storm events, 1 of which was a full
plowing event which involved the private snowplow contractors. 4 plowing events were handled
using only town staff. Approximately 650 tons of salt was used thru the winter. We were fortunate
to have a relatively mild winter.
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 Department
The Parks department continues the all organic program, No pesticides are used for maintaining
of all Town Properties. The Parks Department strives every year to ensure the landscape of all
town parcels is kept to highest standards and taking much pride in achieving this. Thank you to
all departments for their continued support.
Tree Department
The Tree Department’s main goal is to protect the Town’s urban forest. The duties are
responsibilities associated with roadside trimming, tree planting and tree maintenance all year
long. 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.
Pruning, watering, weeding and monitoring is done to maximize the health of the plant. All the
above departments were called upon to aid in the landscape project to beautify the new DPW
facility with the intentions to meet all standards stated above.
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 2019 are shown in the following table. Quantities from 2018 are included
for comparison.

Gallons), and antifreeze (100 gallons).
The Transfer Station generated the following revenue in 2019 not including sticker sales: Gate
collections: $97,851, Batteries: $1,330, Metals: $7,034, Textiles: $176.
In 2019, 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 generated by the rubbish under the landfill cap. A
significant amount of time, effort and funding is required for this task. The Department is
responsible for the maintenance of the landfill cap and the monitoring of the methane gas
produced by the trash under the cap and the monitoring of the groundwater around the perimeter
of the cap. We will be looking into the changing of signage at the transfer station to reflect
signage at other transfer stations on the cape so that they are all uniformed and clearer to
understand. The staff is always available to assist the residents of Orleans with questions and
concerns that they may have.

Finance Committee meetings are open to the public, broadcast live on Channel 18 and available
on the Committee’s website. Minutes of Finance Committee meetings and the Committee’s
Annual and Fiscal Year reports are also available on the website.
The Finance Committee participates actively in the Town’s annual budget assessment process.
The Committee also addresses financial topics and concerns at Board of Selectmen meetings
as warranted throughout the year. In April, we participated in the Orleans Citizens’ Forum-
sponsored panel discussion addressing key topics for the May Town Meeting. At Town Meeting
in May, Finance Committee members presented their views, both “pro” and “con," on various
Warrant articles. Several of our “split votes” were triggered by a perceived lack of transparency
- not enough information, not soon enough, for informed decision-making (e.g., on the proposed
purchase of the Herrick property and the proposed purchase of Sipson Island).
In November, the Committee met with NRSD Building Project and School Committee
representatives and others. The Project Team estimated the total development cost for the
Project to be approximately $95 million, net of the Commonwealth’s contribution. The Orleans
share of the estimated Project costs is based on student enrollment and is forecast at nearly
20% of the total, or about $19 million. The Committee is seeking additional information from the
124
School Committee and the Project Team and will present its findings prior to Town Meeting in
May.
Other Budget, Capital Improvement Plan and Debt Considerations
The Town’s debt obligations currently include payments for capital investments such as the new
Police Station, the new DPW facility, and the on-going wastewater project. Other potential
capital investments include the new high school as noted above, plus a new or renovated Fire
Station, a new or renovated Library, improvements to several Town landings, long-delayed
dredging of critical Town waterways, expansion of COA facilities, the Nauset Beach retreat plan,
and storm drain repairs. None of these are “surprises” - but they all have potential impact on the
Town’s debt, and thus on the tax rate. However, there is also the potential for grant money to
help fund at least a few of these projects (e.g., the landings, the Library and dredging).
As consideration is given to these upcoming capital projects, the Town must consider the impact
of the projects on Town finances. The burden that can be placed on taxpayers is not unlimited.
The affordability of new commitments must be balanced with the ability of taxpayers to support
such commitments.
Revenue Sources and Strategies
The Finance Committee encourages the Town to reduce its reliance on property taxes and
endorses the Town’s efforts to identify alternative revenue sources. During the budget review
process, Committee members focus on the Town’s efforts to identify and pursue grant
opportunities - at the department level and at the management level.
We will also continue our 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.
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
On behalf of the Orleans Fire Rescue Department I am pleased to present our annual
report. 2019 was once again a busy year for the delivery of emergency services.
Of the many positive changes throughout the year we are pleased to announce the addition
of two new members we welcome to our ranks, Ben Nickerson and Teddy Duschesney.
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. This year a fulltime position was added to coordinate all our
delivery of medical services and community EMS education our goal is to increase our
community outreach for those seeking CPR or Stop the Bleed education. Firefighter Leslie
Vasconcellos has been promoted to this valuable new post.
New strategies for responding to man-made violence will once again and for the foreseeable
future keep us involved with our partner agency the Orleans Police Department as we adapt to
new strategies to address potential violence.
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
importance is addressing occupation sickness by creating a cleaner working environment
and improving the air quality of our living and working spaces.
Our public education program continues to do great work in our local schools and with our
senior residents. Our first three Citizens Fire Academy classes were well attended, and we
have been given enthusiastic reviews! Further our work with the Stop the Bleed classes has
been well received by so many members of the community, the partnership with the Orleans
Citizens Forum has been invaluable in setting up these important classes.
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
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.
As this is published I will have concluded my career and tenure as Fire Chief, I humbly thank the
members and staff for their dedication and pride in keeping our beautiful town safe, and all the
town agencies that have assisted me in the discharge of my duties. It has been a blessing to be
able to serve you all.
126
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

Anthony Pike Chief MPA, EMT

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
7th at dusk. A special “Thank You” to The Friends of the Fourth of July for again privately
fundraising to cover the cost of ALL of the Fireworks. The fireworks would not happen without
the support of private donations and the Friends of the Fourth of July.
The 4th of July Parade stepped off from Eldredge Park Way on July 4, 2019. This year’s parade
had a great crowd and the weather cooperated. Cody Stratton, a student at OES, was this year’s
Theme Contest Winner. He created this year’s great theme Orleans Rocks!
The Parade Grand Marshal was Alan McClennen, retired Orleans Selectman. Alan served on the
board for 6 years and continues service to Orleans as a member of the Affordable Housing Trust
Fund Board and Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners.
Tom Finan, Orleans 2019 Citizen of the Year, also rode in the parade. Tom has contributed to the
Town of Orleans in various ways over the years, most notably through chairing the Police Station
Building Committee.
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. It was a great time for both those
in the Parade and those watching, our town truly showed how much Orleans Rocks! The 2019
Parade Winners – Business, 1st The Farm, 2nd Orleans Yacht Club, 3rd John Martin Excavating.
Non-Profits ,1st Orleans Historical Society 2nd Cub Scout Pack 83 ,3rd Orleans Firebirds (Orleans
128
Athletic Association Inc). Family Awards, 1st Stewart Family, 2nd Coakley/Wainright Family, 3rd
The Tierney 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 the Orleans Chamber of Commerce.
Your support is greatly appreciated.
The biggest Thank You goes to the previous members of the Fourth of July Celebration
committee who all stepped down after the 2018 parade. Through their guidance, support and
detail-oriented record keeping, our brand-new committee was able to plan and execute a
successful parade for 2019. We can’t thank these folks enough.
Our Fund Raising Effort The Committee appreciates the Town Meeting appropriation of up to
$8000 to support the 2019 Parade. Our goals this year were to add additional music and
entertainment, and we were able to add both. 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. 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 2020 Fourth of July activities having a full year under our belt, we
expect this one to be even better. The Fireworks will take place, at dusk, on Sunday, July 5th
(rain date is July 6th). The Parade will step off on Saturday, July 4, 2020, at 10:00am from
Eldredge Park Way. Visit: www.orleans4thofjuly.com for more info!
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, landscapes, streetscapes, and heritage.
2019 saw the demise of three more historic buildings in Orleans. In January, the iconic Kenrick-
Sparrow house (picture to the right) fell to the
bulldozer’s blade, and in the Spring, demolition
permits were filed for historic homes on Great Oak
Road and Tonset Road. In each case, the Historical
Commission brought to bear the full extent of its
regulatory power and imposed the one-year
demolition delay bylaw in an effort to save these
historic resources. The delay period expired for the
Kenrick-Sparrow house and it is gone. It appears
certain that the same fate awaits the homes on Great
Oak and Tonset Roads as well.
In an effort to protect the historic character of our Town and our streetscapes, the Commission
has intensified its efforts to present more effective measures to the Town to protect key areas that
129
still radiate the heritage that makes Orleans the special place that it is. We have evaluated three
options for establishing historic districts and have focused on the Main Street area in East Orleans
as a starting point. In support of this effort, the Commission conducted three well-attended public
education sessions in 2019 special nature of our history and the value of preserving the buildings
and land that represent our heritage. This effort will intensify in 2020.
In support of the Town’s 6A corridor project, the Commission inventoried all historic resources
that remain in the general downtown area and submitted proposals for design guidelines for future
development in an area that has lost much of its historic character over the years.
During 2019, the Commission initiated plans and programs to highlight the strong connections
between the land that became Orleans and the Plymouth 400 Commemoration, which will
celebrate the quadricentennial anniversary of the Mayflower voyage and the establishment of
Plymouth Colony. A monthly column in the Cape Codder on this topic was initiated in the Fall of
2019 and will continue throughout 2020. Several public presentations on this topic will be offered
throughout the year.

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.
On behalf of the board I would like to acknowledge Richard Miller and Gilbert Merritt for their long
service to the housing authority.
Richard served as the Chairman for many years until his passing and Gilbert served as Vice Chair
and the CPC representative of the housing authority until stepping down this past year. Both
worked tirelessly in the effort to create affordable housing for Orleans
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.
Respectfully submitted,
Barry Alper, Chairman & Timothy Buhler, Executive Director

HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE
This committee reviews applications requesting town funding from nonprofit human service
organizations who serve only Orleans residents or who include Orleans residents as their clients.
There are many agencies that serve different needs of Orleans residents. The committee is
comprised of 5 members who review the applications and verify their direct service to the residents
of Orleans. They present their recommendations to the Board of Selectmen. If approved by the
Board the funding requests are brought to the voters at the Annual Town Meeting for approval.
In FY 2019 these agencies received the following amounts:
Aids Support Group of Cape Cod $ 2,000.00
Alzheimers Support Group $ 9,000.00
CapeAbilities $ 5,900.00
Cape Cod Children’s Place $ 3,250.00

MARINE AND FRESH WATER QUALITY COMMITTEE
The Committee continued to coordinate water quality monitoring by citizen volunteers, an ongoing
19-year effort. This year’s data was added to the long-term databases for Orleans estuaries and
freshwater ponds and lakes.
Estuary sampling occurred in 26 locations: three on Cape Cod Bay, nine in Nauset Estuary, and
14 in upper Pleasant Bay. Fifty volunteers and 19 boats were recruited, and a total of 621 samples
collected on five mornings between July and the beginning of September. Samplers took direct
readings of weather conditions and measurements of water temperature, salinity, dissolved
131
oxygen, and water clarity. Water quality samples were sent to the School for Marine Science and
Technology, UMass, Dartmouth (SMAST) for analysis. Nitrogen from septic systems continues
to stress the enclosed saltwater ponds resulting in unhealthy levels of algae growth and low
dissolved oxygen levels during the summer especially in Arey’s, Lonnie’s, Meetinghouse, Mill and
Paw Wah Ponds, inside Pochet Inlet and a deep portion of Town Cove.
Three samplers participated in Shell Day, an estuary sampling project coordinated by MIT, WHOI
and other institutions from Maine to Long Island. Water quality samples were taken from Lonnie’s
Pond in Orleans three times during a six-hour tidal cycle and transported the following day to
WHOI in Woods Hole with an opportunity to learn more about acidification of estuaries and its
potential impacts.
The management plan for Cedar Pond continues with automatic water quality monitoring and
reduction of salinity by control of water exchange with Rock Harbor Creek. As a result of an
enforcement action against Eversource by the Conservation Commission, the low-power lines
spanning the pond were removed in February. Compared to up to 800 cormorants in previous
years, a few birds chose to roost in trees on the perimeter of the pond in August. This will bring a
significant reduction in the nutrient input to the pond. Future sewering of the downtown will reduce
nitrogen flow to Cedar Pond further improving water quality.
Priorities for the development of management plans for freshwater ponds have been established.
A professional lake management consultant has been hired to help the Committee move the plans
into action. The Committee is working on implementation plans for Uncle Harvey’s Pond with
concern for cyanobacteria there that can leave toxins in the water and that can be blown into the
surrounding air. The management plan for Pilgrim Lake has been drafted. Data for the
formulation of management plans has been gathered for Crystal Lake and Bakers Pond.
Volunteer freshwater lake and pond monitoring continued with laboratory support provided by
SMAST during spring and summer sampling seasons. Water quality samples were collected from
16 named freshwater ponds in spring and late summer. Water quality in most ponds continues
to decline; they do not meet state standards for water clarity and dissolved oxygen during the
summer.
Property owners are urged to utilize the guidelines of the Orleans fertilizer bylaw to reduce nutrient
runoff into all of our waters. All those who own properties bordering ponds, lakes and estuaries
are urged to plant and maintain vegetative buffers of native plants at the water’s edge to capture
nutrient runoff.
Committee members also continue to serve on the Conservation Commission and Dredge
Advisory Committee.
We thank the volunteers who collected data on our estuaries and freshwater ponds. Volunteers
are needed each summer to carry out this monitoring. Training is provided for 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 (Several Orleans Residents are members in both
organizations) to ensure proper recognition of these important holidays.
In conjunction with these retired veterans, this 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 understaffed and welcome any interested people to attend a
scheduled meeting and possibly join.

Kevin Higgins, Chairman

NAUSET PUBLIC SCHOOLS
(2019-2020)
Orleans Elementary School students continue to excel in academic growth and achievement with
the assistance of outstanding Leadership and Staffing. Technology at all grade levels continues
to be integrated into the classroom in a variety of ways. “Root Robots” are helping students
develop coding skills at very early grade levels. “Girls Who Code Club,” a national program, was
offered to girls in Grs. 3-5 at OES. Orleans parents believe in global education and continue to
support the Spanish program at the elementary school level. The Orleans staff provides an
abundance of activities to enable students and parents to share in educational experiences and
project-based learning. Classrooms at OES are filled with energy, learning and fun. Students
have opportunities to participate in plays, talent shows, choral events, exhibits and fairs. Working
together, parents, staff and Administration support students academically and socially through
arts, field trips, and community activities.
Nauset Regional High School continues its quest for a building renovation project that will go to
the voters in four towns in the spring of 2020. Voters in the four towns approved the feasibility
study for the project more than two years ago and the Building Committee, working with the
MSBA, has moved through the steps as required by the state in order to receive funding from the
state. The need for bringing all aspects of the school up to code as well as enhancements to
existing classroom spaces is not only needed but critical to continue the educational excellence
that Nauset offers its communities. Staff members provided input on a variety of topics including
educational priorities, design patterns, guiding principles, and gathered data to serve as the
content for the educational vision to 2050. Please visit the Nauset Building Project website often
to be updated on the latest news at www.nausetschools.org.
Nauset Regional Middle School staff and students celebrated with Dr. Maxine Minkoff on her
retirement from the District and welcomed a new Principal, Julie Kobold. Julie worked closely
with Principal Minkoff as her Assistant Principal last year. Stephanie Rae was welcomed into the
Assistant Principal position. We look forward to a continued collaboration between the High
School and the Middle School.
MCAS results varied from previous years with the change of the MCAS testing program. Nauset
students continue to do very well outperforming the state average. The new accountability system
focuses on all students and lowest performing 25% of students. The Elementary, Middle and
High Schools made substantial progress toward targets in the state accountability report. The
Nauset vision for students is to continue to focus on deeper learning, creativity and critical thinking,
problem-solving and reflection that prepares our students to excel in a global world.
Partnerships with a variety of town departments, as well as local businesses, continues to be the
cornerstone of the Nauset community. We thank our volunteers, PTA groups, local businesses,
and communities for their continued support of our schools. Without their assistance, our students
would not have such rich opportunities and the learning experiences that they enjoy. Our
partnerships are strong and our beliefs the same, “if not education, then what for our students.”
135
Safety in our schools remains at the highest levels and we work closely with our Police Chiefs.
Unfortunately, we live in times that require security drills for even the youngest of our students but
our staffs and police work together in an effort to ensure the safety of everyone.
Social Emotional Learning curriculum is being offered to our students K-12 to assist them in the
ever-changing world in which we live. To respond to the anxiety that students are feeling, the
Superintendent created a new Homework Policy throughout the district that enables students to
be successful and affords them some down time over vacations and holiday periods to spend
quality time with family. Advisory groups have been established to ensure that students are
connected to an adult in the school community.
The Strategic Plan Advisory Committee has been working diligently for the past year to create a
comprehensive Strategic Plan for the District for the next five years. Nauset has defined its core
values and believes that education should inspire a passion for learning and that: every child
matters, every child is unique and every child deserves to feel safe. Nauset’s mission is to
prepare each student to succeed in an ever-changing world by providing a rigorous academic
program that integrates social-emotional learning and global awareness. The goals defined in
the plan include: 21st Century Skills, Global Citizenship, Social-Emotional Learning,
Professional Development, and Community Schools. For more information relative to the
Strategic Plan visit the website at:
https://sites.google.com/nausetschools.org/nauset-strategic-plan/home
Nauset students continue to make us proud whether representing Nauset at the Global
Classrooms international Model United Nations Conference in New York City, collaborating with
MIT staff on the autonomous car project, participating in a mock trial, working in the Human Rights
Academy or doing community service for our neighbors. Not only are our students achieving
academically, but they are also committed to their communities in service toward others.
In my fifth year as your Superintendent, I am continually thankful for the supportive School
Committee Members with whom I work, the dedicated Staff, and my Administrative Team that is
second to none! I am also thankful for the supportive communities of the Nauset Region and their
belief in the importance of education. I will continue to focus on deeper learning for all students,
as we prepare our children to live in a technical and global world. 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.

OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE
The Open Space Committee (OSC) is charged with the primary mission of identifying and then
seeking to acquire or otherwise protect Open Space in the Town of Orleans. In 2019 no new
acquisitions were made, though the Committee was active in seeking open parcels of significant
value to the Town and its residents.
The Committee’s membership changed dramatically in Fall, 2019. Four new members were sworn
in during the months of August and September, with one member continuing from her appointment
in 2018.
Since September the Committee came up to speed over three meetings, and in the process
identified a truly significant opportunity at 12 Pecks Way, fronting the Namequoit River and Areys
Pond. The property abuts the Marion Hadley and Samuel Peck Conservation Area, and would, if
acquired, expand that important conservation area by a third.
Advantages to the Town would be multiple: respecting residents’ wish for more open space and
walking trails, expanding the existing conservation area, reinforcing a “conservation collar” at the
mouth of Areys Pond (i.e. with the John Kenrick Woods on the west side and the Peck
Conservation Area on the east), double walking trail opportunities, further protect the fragile pond
from the nitrogen loading which would result from another residence, reinforce natural habitat
availability, and honor the site of a 1690’s Portanimicut Indian Meeting House.
Recognizing these acquisition values to the Town, the OSC in December, 2019 submitted an
application to the Community Preservation Committee for funds to acquire 12 Pecks Way in FY
2021. We are hopeful of Town Meeting’s support in this endeavor.
In the coming calendar year, the Committee will be looking for additional Open Space
Opportunities. But we will also seek to improve access to, and use of, the Town’s existing Open
Space by identifying new trail head signage, public information, and trail identification/markings.
Finally, we will be assisting other Town Committees and the Orleans Conservation Trust in an
effort to employ our open spaces for additional water access opportunities, where possible within
appropriate conservation restraints.

PERSONNEL ADVISORY BOARD
The Personnel Advisory Board is responsible for holding a public hearing on any amendments
that will come before voters at Town Meeting, including changes to the classification and
compensation plans of employees covered under the Personnel Bylaw. It serves primarily in an
advisory role to the Town Administrator in accordance with the policies and procedures contained
under the Town's Personnel Bylaw (Code of the Town of Orleans, Chapter 40) which covers a
limited number of non-union full-time, part-time and all seasonal employee positions. The two
members of the Board met three times in 2019 – in April, July and November. A third member is
needed, and residents are encouraged to consider joining us.
A public hearing was held on April 23, 2019 to review proposed amendments to the Bylaw, which
consisted of a 2% percent cost of living wage increase to those covered by non-union employees
and those under individual contracts and employment agreements, as well as changes to the
Compensation and Classification Plan, Vacation Policy, Other Leave, and Group Hospital,
Medical, Surgical and Life Insurance sections. Mr. Kelly gave an overview of the proposed
changes, comparing them to the most recently negotiated collective bargaining agreements. After
discussion and several edits, the Board voted 2-0-0 to recommend the revised proposed
amendments to Town Meeting.
The amendments were presented to voters as Article 46 in the May 13, 2019 Annual Town
Meeting, and the Article was approved unanimously.

PLEASANT BAY ALLIANCE
The Pleasant Bay Alliance is an organization of the Towns of Orleans, Chatham, 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 2019 are described below.
The Alliance coordinated Watershed Permit implementation activities under a $250,000 grant
from the Southeast New England Estuaries Program, a program funded by US EPA.
Implementation activities funded under the grant include a study of Innovative/Alternative septic
systems; a pilot project for shellfish aquaculture for nitrogen removal; a nitrogen trading
demonstration project, and; updating of the linked water quality model used by the Massachusetts
Estuaries Project. Work on these implementation tasks will continue in 2020.
In accordance with an inter-municipal agreement among the Towns of Chatham, Orleans,
Harwich and Brewster, the Alliance compiled and filed the first Watershed Permit annual report to
the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection and Cape Cod Commission. The
annual report tracks progress on implementation activities set forth under the Watershed Permit.
Working with the Orleans Marine and Fresh Water Quality Committee, the Alliance completed the
20th season of the Pleasant Bay Water Quality Monitoring program. Trained volunteers collected
samples at 25 bay-wide sites achieving a 90% collection rate. Previous assessments of data
collected by the program have shown water quality impairment in the system due to excess
145
nutrient loading. Data from the program are used for local and regional nutrient management
planning and implementation.
Building on a previous assessment of Sea Level Rise impacts in Pleasant Bay, the Alliance
applied for and obtained a $70,050 FY2020 coastal resilience grant from Massachusetts Coastal
Zone Management. The grant will fund a project to help Salt Marsh resources in Pleasant Bay
keep up with sea level rise. The project includes an assessment of Salt Marsh vulnerability and
living shoreline suitability in Pleasant Bay.
The Alliance wishes to thank the citizens of Orleans for your ongoing support.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
On behalf of the entire department, I’m pleased to present this year’s Annual Report for the
calendar year 2019. The department continues to strive to provide the highest level of professional
police services for residents and visitors alike. Although 2019 brought significant staffing
challenges, police department personnel responded remarkably well which enabled our
organization to advance many of our strategic priorities and provide police services that enhance
safety and the quality of life in the Town of Orleans.
During this past year, two new employees were hired by the police department. Alexander
Dedinas and Riley McDonough were hired as our newest Patrol Officers. Our department takes
great pride in recruiting and hiring the very best candidates to serve the Town of Orleans, and I’m
confident that our newest additions will complement our organization very well. Although we are
excited about our new additions, we were saddened to have said goodbye to two outstanding
officers. Officer Sean Reed resigned from the department after eight years of dedicated service
to the community. Additionally, after thirty-two years with the department, Lieutenant Kevin
Higgins retired. In my twenty-nine years in law enforcement I have never met an officer more
dedicated to serving a community as Kevin was serving the community of Orleans. I wish both
gentlemen much success and happiness in their future endeavors.
In 2019 the department was proud to present our organization’s comprehensive five-year strategic
plan for fiscal years 2020 through 2024. Without question, strategic planning has guided our
organization to the highest level of professional policing, culminating with the department
receiving the All New England Community Policing Award in 2017. As we continue to move
forward, our team has established new strategic priorities that are intended to drive positive
change, while maintaining the strong organizational culture that has been developed over many
years. I encourage you to review the plan, which can be accessed on the department’s website.
The Town of Orleans remains a safe community with a low crime rate. The department’s 2019
crime statistics remain consistent with previous years. Officers responded to 11,747 calls for
service; 93 major motor vehicle crashes resulting in injury or property damage over $1000; 72
146
arrests or criminal applications, and 1,946 traffic stops. See the detailed activity breakdown at the
end of this report.
The Orleans Police Department is a State Accredited agency that operates at the highest
professional level. Nonetheless, sound policies, procedures, and practices are only as good as
the employees who follow them. I truly believe that our employees are our most valuable resource
and our best and brightest hope for the future. It is through the efforts of the dedicated men and
women who serve this community that our success as a law enforcement organization will
ultimately be defined.
Respectfully submitted.

RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD
This committee was created in response to public comment during the 2019 town meeting season.
Interest was stimulated by the adoption of fees which would affect children most.
The Board of Selectmen strongly supported creation of such a conduit from the public to them
about how to grow and improve our recreation program. A clearly articulated hope was that such
a committee would be one way to help the town become more livable for all generations.
We began with 5 members and expanded to seven members. There has been a high level of
interest in serving. The committee wished to represent as much of the community as possible.
The committee made its immediate task to formulate a fee waiver program that ensured
accessibility to recreation programs by all, regardless of income. Our proposed universal fee
waiver policy for financial hardship was adopted by the Board of Selectmen.
We supported an application made to the Committee Preservation Fund for hydration stations
about town, describing recreation sites to be included. We worked with the Recreation Director
and the COA director to provide pickle ball courts. This effort will be continued into 2020.
Our major goal is to grow and improve the recreation program, guiding the Board of Selectmen
toward policies that achieve that end. As a beginning, the fees obtained this year were used for
some new programming. Some examples are Futsol, Basketball camp, and open gym.
We have taken seriously our charge to be a conduit from the public to the Board of Selectmen.
To do our job, we developed some tools to elicit input from the townspeople.
First, we developed an exit survey distributed to all participant families of the summer recreation
programs. There were 48 respondents. About 75% of the respondents were Orleans families.
Approximately 60% of all respondents asked for programming to last more of the summer. Thirty-
seven percent of all respondents wanted longer hours during the day for programming. We
realized we needed to learn what Orleans residents themselves thought about the schedule.
Overall, the majority of respondents were happy with the specific activities their child’s summer
experience. From this exit survey we were better prepared to develop a survey of all of Orleans.
This has been designed and is being deployed as the year ends. The hope is for a big response.
The next stage is to use the results in 2020 to hold a public forum. The ultimate goal is to use
citizen input to set priorities to grow and improve recreation in Orleans.

RECREATION DEPARTMENT
The recreation department consists of one full time (35 hours per week) director and 32 part time
seasonal (summer) staff. Our mission is to provide a year-round recreational program for
residents that meets the social, fitness and recreational needs of a diverse population.
Our department works in cooperation with the Orleans Senior Center, Orleans Elementary School
and Nauset Regional Middle School to utilize facility space and to plan activities and events. This
year we developed a working relationship with the Orleans Community Building (Old Firehouse)
to conduct a series of fitness programming for adults.
In February 2019 the recreation office moved into the new DPW/Highway building on Giddiah Hill
Rd. We are now housed with other departments that we work closely with and have space to
conduct staff meetings, coaches meetings and summer staff orientation training.
In May during the annual Town Meeting, residents approved a registration fee structure for our
recreational activities and in June 2019 we purchased a new web program called MyRec, which
allows us to accept registration and payments on line. In addition, we are able to promote activities
on our new town web site: orleansrecreation.com.
During the summer months the recreation department provided programming for 138 participants
in the K-grade 5 summer playground program, 40 participants in the middle school summer
recreation program, 134 learn to swim participants, and 30 in our tennis instruction program.

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 relating 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, aquaculturists, a deputy shellfish constable [employed
in another town], a boating safety instructor with the Coast Guard Auxiliary, and a sailor.
Committee members have a wealth of experience to offer, and are committed to improving the
management of the natural resources in Orleans. Members come well-prepared to meetings,
which are marked by ”robust’ discussions.
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 Plans, the oyster over-wintering plans, and the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) fo
Aquaculture Services as the project transitioned to the next phase, in which a commercial grower
assumed 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 provide
oversight for a valid, reliable trial.
As it has done the past several years, the committee continued its active support for the Pilgrim
Lake Volunteer Herring Count program. Several members assisted with the herring run clean-up,
herring counts, and the daily calibration of the electronic fish counter.
The committee also continued to advocate that the property at 141 Portanimicut Road should be
made a satellite harbormaster office on a permanent basis, and conveyed to the Conservation
Commission (ConsCom), which has jurisdiction over future uses of the property, that the
committee hopes to be involved in future discussions about the uses of the property.
During 2019, the committee addressed a number of other issues, some brought forward by
committee members or members of the public, and others that would affect shellfisheries in
general. Two issues that were of concern to the committee were the Massachusetts Shellfish
Initiative (MSI) and HB 746, a bill regarding the transfer of aquaculture grants.
The Massachusetts Shellfish Initiative is a collaboration of the Division of Marine Fisheries, the
Cape Cod Commercial Fishermen’s Association, The Nature Conservancy, and the
Massachusetts Aquaculture Association. Their goal is to develop a state-wide strategic plan to
“maximize the economic, environmental, and social benefits of Massachusetts shellfish
resources”. The committee joined with the Eastham Shellfish/Waterways Committee to sponsor
a public hearing on the MSI, and 2 members of the local committee were appointed to the state-
wide MSI Assessment Committee (Phillips and Davis). Committee members have continued to
educate ourselves about the MSI and to reach out for input to members of the shellfish
communities.
House Bill 746 was submitted on behalf of the Mass. Aquaculture Association, and would basically
lead to the privatization of aquaculture grants. The committee provided information and comment
151
to the BOS about its views. The BOS drafted a letter of opposition and sent it to the town’s state
legislators.
The committee also worked in collaboration with the town Agriculture Advisory Committee and
the Planning Board on revision to the right to farm by-law to include a right to fish, including
storage of fishing gear. That effort is on-going.
Committee members look forward to continuing their work on these and other issues of concern
in the coming year, and to providing a forum for local fishermen to bring forward issues of concern
to the town.
Respectfully submitted,
Suzanne Phillips, Chairperson
SITE PLAN REVIEW COMMITTEE
The committee provides guidance on development proposals to improve design and assist
developers in the understanding of the local permitting process. In 2019, eleven meetings were
held. There were nineteen Informal Site Plan Reviews and one Formal Site Plan Review as well
as discussions and status updates. Several projects were of a limited nature such that the need
for a Formal Site Plan was waived.
Site Plan Review Committee members represent the following Town Departments: Building,
Conservation, Fire, Health, Highway/DPW, Planning, and Water.

VETERANS’ GRAVES OFFICER
During 2019 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 eight new bronze grave markers and flags placed on new graves this past year. An
additional eight 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,

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
2019. Our duties are categorized in two basic areas: Benefits and Services.
Commonwealth Low-income Veteran’s 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. These benefits may also be available to
Orleans resident spouses and widows/widowers of veterans and even the non-veteran parents of
Massachusetts veterans who meet the income and asset criteria of the program. During the year
the Town, through our office, extended benefits to qualified veterans totaling $32,887.05 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 Veteran’s Benefits and Services:
We assisted veterans and their dependents in obtaining federal 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. For the most recent year
the VA has compiled benefits data, this office assisted in obtaining $1,321,275 in cash payments
for service-injury compensation and disability pensions for 95 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 ensure our veterans, their parents and dependents are connected to any and
all federal and state veterans benefits they are eligible for. We are anxious and willing to assist
with veteran service-connected disability 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 Service to our Veterans,
Gregory J. Quilty, Director and Veterans’ Agent
Wilfred Remillard, Orleans Service Officer

VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION OF CAPE COD
The Visiting Nurse Association of Cape Cod (VNACC) is a Not-for-Profit, Certified Home Health
Agency that provides home health care, health promotion, immunizations, and wellness programs
to the communities of Cape Cod. The VNACC continues to provide both the town-sponsored
public health programs and the third party reimburse home health services for the residents of
Orleans.

Work, Physical/Occupational/Speech Therapy, and Hospice Care.
Wellness Programs include the following: Health Education, Exercise/Fall Prevention Programs,
Evidence-Based Disease Self-Management Programs, and a Medical Adult Day Health Program
located in Harwich.
The Orleans Town appropriation enabled the VNACC to provide the following services for
residents of Orleans in FY 2019:
• Communicable Disease Surveillance including TB case management 16.5 hrs.
• Public Health Nurse Home Visits for safety and coordination of services 6.5 hrs.
• Tai Chi Program at the Orleans Council on Aging
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.
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 2019.
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 contracted with Wright Pierce Engineers in 2019 to update its May 2014
20-year Asset Management Plan. The update was completed November 2019. As recommended
156
in the 20-year Asset Management Plan, the Orleans Water Department solicited bids to bring the
Town’s largest producing well (Well #7) to the Water Treatment Plant in order to utilize it for more
than just 2-3 months of the year and to provide a more consistent water quality throughout the
Town. The bid was awarded to Robert Our Company for $1,867,927.00.
The Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners addressed the following matters in 2019:
• The 20-year Asset Management Plan recommended a 4% 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 0% water rate increase
to begin with the August 1, 2019 billing. The Water Department contracted with Raftellis through
Wright Pierce for a rate study as part of the Asset Management Plan update for
recommendations for future rate increases and quarterly billing structure.
• Initiated a $1,980,000 town-wide cellular water meter reading and billing system installation. The
new meter technology will reduce the amount of water wasted due to leaks and allow for 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 are able to track usage and set alerts using a smart phone app or home computer.
We ask that all consumers of town water contact the Water Department Office (508) 255-1200
for instructions on how to take advantage of this new technology.
• In May, The Annual Town Meeting voted to fund the first phase of the Comprehensive
Wastewater Management Plan. Following the Town Meeting, the Board of Selectmen voted to
transfer the responsibility for managing implementation of the plan over to the Board of Water
and Sewer Commissioners in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 6, Section 8 Paragraph
3 of the Town Charter.
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 Massachusetts General
Laws, Chapter 40A, and to hear and decide appeals from decisions of the Zoning Administrator.
There were 12 regular open meetings in 2019, at which a quorum was present. Hearings were
conducted on a total of 25 applications. Fourteen (14) special permit applications were granted,
one was denied. Three variance requests were granted, two of which involved Town-owned
land. Two hearings resulted in a approval by the Board for extensions to previously issued special
permits. Five applications for variance or special permit were withdrawn by the applicant. One
hearing resulted in a determination of the Board that the decision of the Building Commissioner
was correct. There were no applications for Comprehensive Permit. Michael P. Marnik was re-
elected Chairman, Gerald Mulligan was elected Vice Chairman, and Emily Van Giezen was
elected Board Clerk. Other Board members were Matthew Cole, Peter Jablon. Bruce Taub and
George Waugh. At calendar year end, the Board maintains a full complement of eight volunteer
citizens. William McCarthy, a regular member for several terms, resigned in June 2019. His
resignation was received with the gratitude of the Board. Amber Dauphinais and Stacy Faber
served as Board Secretary during the year, providing support and organization.
Respectfully submitted,
Michael P. Marnik, Chairperson
ZONING BYLAW TASK FORCE
Zoning Bylaw Task Force is charged to evaluate issues related to the Zoning Bylaw and develop
draft language to address issues identified by the Planning Board.
In 2019, the Task Force worked on amendments related to signs, accessory dwellings, flood zone
regulation, and stormwater management.
In the fall, the Task Force reviewed and approved new regulations for apartment development,
off-street parking, dwellings in commercial structures, and the storage of fishing equipment.
These zoning amendments are under review and may be presented at the 2020 Annual Town
Meeting.
