This Book is Dedicated to the Memory of
Marcia Pioppi Galazzi
January 9, 1942 – September 29, 2021
Marcia Pioppi Galazzi joyfully stepped ashore on Pleasant Bay in
the spring of 1974, after a year sailing the Eastern seaboard
determined to find a home for her young family of four. First as the
Director of Waterfront for Pleasant Bay Camp, and then as
Founder and Executive Director of The Family Schools Inc., Marcia
would go on to patiently teach generations of children to swim, sail,
row and hike. She lovingly shared her belief that physical
competency and appreciation for the natural world could be
emotionally restorative and cognitively grounding for an emerging
child, and adult alike.
Marcia wrote passionately about her philosophy of teaching in regular letters to families at the
Family Schools, including her books “Circles of Love” and “101 FAQ About Families: A Camp
Professional’s Guide to Happy Campers and Satisfied Families.” Her weekly school assemblies
consisting of “just so” stories delighted children and adults, which she famously started with “Once
upon a time … and this is a true story.” Often her dramatized narratives were inspired by Native
American themes which not only taught emotional intelligence, but also promoted care for
Orleans’ ponds, forests, tidal estuaries and beaches to tourists and residents alike.
Influenced by her degrees from Cushing Academy, Simmons College and a Masters of Education
in Human Development from Harvard University, Marcia focused her dynamic energy on collective
pro-social actions to improve the lives of children and families in our local community. She used
her leadership skills to achieve that goal, including as Chair of the Board of Directors of the
Academy of Performing Arts in Orleans where she was honored for more than twenty years of
service with their naming of The Galazzi Gallery. Marcia was also an energetic 30-year member
of the Orleans Rotary Club, (President 2003/2004, Rotary Foundation Chair 2018-2019,) and is
fondly remembered for her lifelong role as an activist for inclusion and diversity exemplified by the
1993 Cape AIDS Concert she co-chaired. She and her fellow Rotarians triumphantly raised funds,
early awareness, and acceptance of the disease by bringing the singer Judy Collins alongside
comedians The Smothers Brothers and Dennis Miller to the Orleans Baseball field, drawing a
crowd of more than 5,000.
Marcia was grateful for every day of her life, often walking or cross-country skiing the many
wooded paths near her home in South Orleans, now protected thanks to the ongoing conservation
efforts of the Orleans Pond Coalition, Friends of Pleasant Bay, and the Orleans Conservation
Trust. She delighted in the opportunity to swim and kayak daily on Little Pleasant Bay, pushing
the boundaries of the seasons where she could be found walking down her sun dappled sandy
lane to the beach. Marcia’s legacy lives on through her five grandchildren and loving family, in
addition to the campers, students and adults she inspired who carry forward not only her desire
to create a sense of community and protect the natural beauty of Orleans, but also her life’s work
which she encapsulated in her own words; “raise stable and loving children in a chaotic world[…]to
accomplish all this, there has to be a “we.”

SELECT BOARD AND TOWN ADMINISTRATOR
In 2021, while continuing to operate during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Select Board and Town
Administrator kept the public informed on issues that were before the Town utilizing remote zoom
meetings to provide access to timely health and safety updates.
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 two Town Meetings in May and October, one indoors and one outdoors, utilizing
electronic voting.
•Secured voter approval for the five new Enterprise Fund Budgets for Sewer, Beach, Mooring,
Transfer Station, and Rock Harbor Boat Basin Operations.
•Secured voter approval for $2,000,000 for the creation of affordable housing units at the Orleans
Cape Cod Five Property.
•Secured voter approval for $2,350,000 to purchase the Governor Prence Properties for general
municipal purposes, including the development of affordable housing.
•Secured voter approval to lease Town property and enter into an inter-municipal agreement with
CVEC for two renewable energy photovoltaic projects.
•Secured voter approval for $3,300,000 for the Nauset Beach Retreat Phase 2 project to construct
a new 218 car parking lot, access road and septic system leach field.
•Secured voter approval to transfer $610,382 from Free Cash to the Town’s General Stabilization
Fund, providing financial stability, improving our credit worthiness and achieving a targeted 14%
balance under our General Operating Reserve Policy.
•Secured voter approval for $35,000 to develop a new website to create a more secure and
streamlined access for all aspects of Town services.
•Negotiated and signed two Host Community Agreements for Retail Marijuana Establishments
under the Town’s new zoning bylaw.
Also in 2021, Board member Kevin Galligan was re-elected in May, Cecil Newcomb resigned, and
Michael Herman was elected in November. 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 Select Board 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 Select Board 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,
Mefford Runyon, Chair John F. Kelly
Select Board Town Administrator

TOWN CLERK
2021 brought many changes to the Town Clerk’s office. I was pleased to be appointed as Town
Clerk in September.
Cynthia May retired after over 25 years with the town, 18 as Town Clerk. Her knowledge,
leadership and steadiness will be missed; and I thank her for her mentorship and her service to
the town.
Mary Walker, election warden, stepped down after over 25 years working elections; a special
thank you to her for her service.
The Clerk’s office posts meetings and schedules meeting rooms for all town committees on the
town’s website. Our other routine activities consist of registering voters, conducting town
meetings and elections, issuing dog licenses, 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, as well as responding
to public records requests.

ARTICLE 64. NAUSET REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT RESOLUTION – BY PETITION
To see if the Town will vote to adopt the following resolution:
WHEREAS, to resolve the financial inequity of the current School Choice program, participation
in the program should no longer be offered to new students until the Choice population is 2% or
less of the total school population and that the school committee adjust its staff and operations
accordingly;
WHEREAS, the high school project was based on a projected enrollment of 905 students
(approximately 600 in-district students, 100 students from Truro and Provincetown and 200+
School Choice students) over three years ago, demographic data and future student enrollment
figures show an accelerating decline for the foreseeable future across the district and Cape Cod.
88
Drawing an increasing amount of out of district students from a continuing declining pool of
students to fill the high school is an ongoing financial inequity;
WHEREAS, the Nauset tuition agreements in place with Truro and Provincetown expire in 2024
and Truro and Provincetown do not have an agreement to either extend such arrangement or to
share in any of the upcoming capital costs, we find this an inequity that must be resolved.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Nauset Regional School Committee and the Superintendent of the
Nauset Public Schools shall take the necessary steps to reduce the School Choice program
beginning with the 2021-2022 school year and to reopen negotiations to create a school District
which includes Provincetown and Truro with full participation of operating and capital costs
including the upcoming school expansion/renovation.
Or to take any other action related thereto. (By Petition) (Simple Majority Vote Required)
1) SCHOOL CHOICE: The FY21 enrollment of the Nauset Regional High School is 877 students,
but the four towns in the school district, Orleans, Brewster, Eastham and Wellfleet only provide
596 students. Of the 596, Orleans provided just 113 (19%). Demographic, housing, and birth
trends in the District and Cape Cod show student populations will continue to decline. The
Massachusetts School Choice program has been in place since 1991 and allows parents to enroll
their children in a school district other than the district in which the child resides. The program
intent was to fill available seats, however the Nauset School District has utilized Choice to add
258 students (24%) of the student body to its enrollment. The State average is less than 2%. The
School Choice tuition received from sending towns since 1991 is only $5,000/student attending
Nauset Regional schools grades 6-12. Therefore, the Nauset School district is subsidizing School
Choice students across the Cape (see Provincetown and Truro below) at a cost of
$15,918/student or over $4 million annually, entirely paid and absorbed by the four district towns.
2) EXPAND THE DISTRICT TO INCLUDE TRURO AND PROVINCETOWN: The towns of
Provincetown and Truro have partial middle schools and no high school, thus, the students who

AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE
Considerable progress was made toward achievement of affordable housing goals in 2021 and
the Affordable Housing Committee was active in many of these efforts.
The Committee was actively involved in advocating for purchase by the Town of the former
Governor Prence Motel site for affordable housing and other compatible uses, leading to Annual
Town Meeting approval of the purchase. A member of the Committee was appointed to the
Governor Prence Planning Committee, which will work with a planning consultant to develop a
recommended redevelopment plan for the 5.5 acre property to be presented to the Select Board.
The Pennrose project at the former site of the Cape Cod Five Operations Headquarters
culminated in approval of Town funding and approval of the 40B Comprehensive Permit. Final
funding and financing approvals are expected in 2022 followed by construction and occupancy of
the 62 housing units, 52 of which will be affordable to eligible households. The Affordable Housing
Committee advocated for approval of the Community Preservation Act funding at the Annual Town
Meeting, producing a flyer outlining the Town’s affordable housing needs and goals and outlining
how the Pennrose project is consistent with those goals.
The Committee continued to work on community engagement planning, arranging a workshop for
its members by staff of the Community Development Partnership and developing action plans
with the assistance of the newly hired Town Affordable Housing Coordinator. Further refining the
respective roles of the Affordable Housing Committee and the Affordable Housing Trust Board,
the Committee developed a new statement of its charge, which was sent to the Select Board for
approval. Committee members continue to be active in regional housing meetings, joint
committee meetings, and community outreach.
The Affordable Housing Committee looks forward in the coming year to completion of the
Governor Prence Redevelopment Plan, continued engagement with the community on the
ongoing housing crisis, planning an update of the 2017 Community Housing Study, and
production of a new Ten-Year Plan for additional affordable housing units.
Respectfully submitted,
Nancy Renn, Chair

AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST BOARD
The Affordable Housing Trust Board (AHTB) has made strides during 2021 toward resolving the
critical shortage of housing facing many members of our community. Progress has been made by
adding small-scale affordable residences, completing plans for a mid-sized affordable housing
cluster, and taking steps toward larger scale developments which include affordable housing.
Community outreach was undertaken, thanks in large part to the Affordable Housing Committee,
the Orleans Housing Coordinator, and several town departments, to inform voters of viable
solutions to the challenges of housing in Orleans.
At the May 2021 Town Meeting, it was exciting to see how strongly the voters of Orleans stand
behind the effort to keep our town vibrant and diverse by supporting new housing initiatives. The
Community Preservation Committee recommended, and the voters approved, a $2,000,000 bond
to help fund a large scale housing development at the former site of the Cape Cod Five operations
center on West Road. This development will include fifty-two or more affordable housing units.
Additionally, voters at the Town Meeting approved the acquisition of the site of the former
Governor Prence Motel on Route 6A using $475,000 in funds from the AHTB. The sale was
completed in September 2021 and a task force, appointed by the Select Board, is considering the
best ways to use the site to meet community needs.
A series of forums were held with residents in East Orleans regarding the site of the former
Masonic Lodge at 107 Main Street. As a result, a plan was developed and accepted for a
farmstead style of buildings which include fourteen units. Feedback was integrated into plans to
retain appropriate design, character, and landscaping for this historic neighborhood.
Predevelopment surveys were conducted in the autumn of 2021 and the AHTB has committed
$876,625 in Trust funds to advance this mid-sized development.
The AHTB was pleased to help finance a new home for a new owner of a Habitat for Humanity
home in South Orleans in August 2021. The Trust now owns a newly renovated rental unit on Old
Colony Way which houses a young family while covering costs.
Both the AHTB and the Affordable Housing Committee continue to investigate possible partners,
solutions, and financing options to meet rising demand for housing for a range of income levels
while meshing with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and the Community Housing Study.

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 2021 the Council continued to work with the Conservation Department regarding the agricultural
plots at the Putnam Farm Conservation Area.
The Council supports the local implementation of the New England Food Vision
(foodsolutionsne.org/new-england-food-vision), which would increase the total area in small
farming to 60 acres (approx. 0.75 of 1% of total Orleans area).
In the future, demand for high-quality, locally grown fruits and vegetables will continue to expand.
The presence of small farms in Orleans will enhance the attractiveness of the town, enhance the
economy, preserve traditional skills, and maintain a living link with our Cape Cod heritage.

BARNSTABLE COUNTY ASSEMBLY OF DELEGATES
The Assembly of Delegates is the legislative branch of County Government. In partnership with
the executive branch - the County Commissioners, the Assembly shares responsibility for the
range and quality of services provided by the County to the 15 Cape towns. Each of the 15
towns elects a Delegate to the Assembly. A Delegate’s vote impact is the Delegate’s Town
population relative to the total population of the 15 towns. Currently, the Orleans vote has a
weight of 2.75%.
The Assembly discusses and approves the County budget. It is through the budget process
that the Assembly helps establish spending priorities for the County services much needed
and utilized by the Cape towns. Among the many County services are: providing fire training,
dredging our waterways, testing our water and food quality, controlling mosquitoes and ticks,
supporting renewable farming and marine resources, and supporting health and human service
needs.
The highest priority of 2021, similar to 2020, has been sustaining the Cape wide programs to
provide COVID testing and COVID vaccinations to all Cape residents who require them. The
County continues partnerships with many Cape health facilities to provide testing. The County
also maintains a testing and vaccination facility at the County complex in Barnstable. These
efforts will continue until the pandemic subsides.
Other high priority areas addressed in 2021 include maintaining the County’s financial health,
approving amendments to the Regional Policy Plan to incorporate climate change, approving
an additional session of the Police Training Academy, and supporting key programs that meet
the human service needs of all Cape residents.
Important initiatives to be addressed in 2022 include approving a balanced County budget for
fiscal 2023, assuring a fair and equitable distribution of the County’s $41 million in ARPA
funding, and updating the County’a dredging operations.

BOARD OF ASSESSORS
The Board saw changes in 2021. William Overton resigned from the Board in the summer of 2021.
Our newest member, Anthony Cincotta, was appointed in December 2021 to finish Bill’s term. The
Board welcomes Anthony and wishes to extend Bill a heartfelt thanks for his years of service to
the town.
FY2021 was an interim valuation year for Orleans. 149 qualified real estate transactions that took
place in Orleans in 2018 and 2019 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 $4,271,316,040. This is a 1.46% increase from FY2020, with
approximately .75% of the increase attributed to new growth and the remaining .71% attributed to
market adjustments. The median value of a single-family home for FY2021 was $645,300 and the
median value of a condominium was $265,900.
In FY2021, the Board committed 6,359 real estate tax bills, 2,899 personal property tax bills, 9,881
motor vehicle excise tax bills and 861 boat excise bills to the Treasurer’s office for a total of
$34,897,392.03 of tax revenue. In addition, the Board received 18 applications for real estate and
personal property abatements, 12 of which were granted. We also granted 321 motor vehicle
excise abatements and 55 boat excise abatements. The Board also granted 82 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 FY2021, 920 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. Unfortunately, the
COVID-19 pandemic forced us to suspend passport operations from March of 2020 until July of
2021. Assessing brought in approximately $1,490 in revenue (abutter’s lists and printing of deeds,
field cards, plans, maps, etc.).

BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN COMMITTEE
The Orleans Bike and Pedestrian Committee is charged by the Select Board: “to preserve,
promote and enhance the safety of cyclists and pedestrians in Town”. The committee has been
working diligently to implement goals related to this charge as we recognize that year-round
cycling and pedestrian activities are an important means of recreation, transportation and
contribute greatly to the economic growth and vitality of Orleans. The committee currently has a
full slate of members: Alice Thomason Van Oot, Chair; Lindsey Malatesta Goodman, Vice Chair;
Kevin Higgins, Member; Kazmira Nedeau, Member; Joan Francolini, Member; Stephanie Gaskill,
Associate Member; Peter Allgeier, Associate Member. Our Select Board Liaison is Meff Runyon.
The committee meets on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 4:30. Since Town Hall has been
closed, we have been meeting though Zoom online meeting, which has worked well for us. We
continue our collaborative work with the Traffic and Parking Study Committee, the Department of
Public Works and the Planning Board as many of our goals overlap. The committee’s production
of a brochure with an updated map for cyclists and rules of the road was funded with a modest
Community Preservation grant and is ready for spring and summer distribution. It also includes
several local “destination rides” to encourage our visitors to get off the CCRT and visit the
community.
Some of our most significant work revolves around the implementation of Complete Streets
principles and practices in Orleans. This initiative has been supported by the Select Board when,
in 2019, a Complete Streets Policy was adopted enabling us to qualify for MassDot grants
targeting improved roadways and byways to accommodate all users including motorists,
pedestrians, bicyclists and persons with disabilities. After two public input sessions facilitated by
The Cape Cod Commission, a draft Prioritization Plan has been developed by the CCC for
Orleans. This plan enables the town to apply for up to $400,000.00 for a MassDot Complete
Streets grant to improve safety and access for walkers and bikers and is designed to guide future
infrastructure development as well as help the town gain access to other state and federal funding.
We currently have an application submitted to the Community Preservation Committee to fund
one small project identified on the Prioritization Plan.
The CPC request is to support the first phase in the development of a short multi use path on
town owned land to connect the Cape Cod Rail Trail to Overland Way. The request would provide
funding for professional services needed to develop plans for the town to bid for the construction
of a short 0.2 mile multi use path. The path would connect the neighborhoods of Bay Ridge Lane
and Bakers Pond to the Cape Cod Rail Trail. The location has been under consideration by the
town for some time and has been ranked as a priority by the Complete Streets project ranking
process. Development of this path will further our goal of making the Cape Cod Rail Trail safely
accessible to a larger part of our community, thus creating opportunity for both recreation and
safe alternative transportation to other areas of town for users of all ages and abilities.
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.

Alice Thomason Van Oot, Chair

BOARD OF HEALTH
In 2020 the Board of Health quickly adapted to the new and ever evolving responsibilities of
managing a global pandemic at the local level. The challenges associated with the COVID-19
pandemic were broad and all encompassing. The first case of COVID in Orleans was reported in
March 2020, and as of the last day of 2020, Orleans saw a total of 93 confirmed and probable cases.
Throughout this time, the number one priority for the Board was educating citizens and local
businesses on the latest science and protocol recommended for keeping themselves and those
around them safe and healthy. This information changed constantly and required endless
communication such as phone calls, emails, press releases, website updating and countless Code
Red recordings. It was critical for the Health Department to deliver consistent, informed and clear
information.
As businesses struggled to stay open throughout the Cape’s busy summer season, a Barnstable
County educator assisted the Health Department visit local businesses to discuss COVID protocol
and guidance, deliver signage and talk through anxieties. A steady stream of complaints and
concerns about healthy behavior at businesses also required ample attention and time at the
Department.
The existing contract with the Visiting Nurses Association of Cape Cod (VNA) was critical during
2020, and with support from the Health Department, they conducted COVID contract tracing and
case management for Orleans citizens.
The Board of Health hosted three flu clinics in 2020, in October for Orleans residents and in
November for families and teachers in the Nauset school system.
The Board of Health continued to provide its usual services to the Town of Orleans, including 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.
In cooperation with the Barnstable County Department of Health and the Environment, the Board of
Health continued its weekly surveillance of the water quality of the town’s five bathing beaches during
the summer months. Of all samples taken 75 of the 76 samples analyzed in 2020 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 2020 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 2020 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.
118
The Board also administered the town’s contract with the Cape Cod Visiting Nurse Association. In
addition to COVID related services, the VNA provides the town with home visits, health screenings,
wellness education programs, immunization clinics and communicable disease follow-up
investigations.

CAPE COD COMMISSION
Cape Cod Climate Initiative
In January 2021, the Commission approved amendments to the Regional Policy Plan to include
a climate mitigation goal, objectives, and associated technical guidance. The amendments
support, advance, and contribute to the Commonwealth’s interim and long-term greenhouse gas
reduction goals and initiatives, including a state-wide net zero carbon target by 2050. The
amendments also included a new greenhouse gas emissions performance measure. The
Assembly of Delegates and Barnstable County Board of Regional Commissioners approved the
amended RPP in February 2021.
The Cape Cod Climate Action Plan, the region's first, was approved by the Commission in July
2021. The plan includes a regional greenhouse gas emissions inventory, an economic and fiscal
impact analysis, and a legal and policy analysis, among other research and analysis.
Low Lying Roads Initiative
Orleans is among 10 Cape towns participating in the Commission’s Low-Lying Roads project to

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 renewable competitive electricity supply, proven energy
efficiency programs, and effective consumer advocacy.
POWER SUPPLY
During 2021, 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 remained price-competitive with the utility’s basic service residential
price, while also being 100% renewable.
127
The Compact has been a green aggregation since January 2017, meaning 100% of Compact’s
power supply customers’ annual electricity usage is met with renewable energy certificates
(RECs). By retiring RECs to match the Compact’s customers’ usage, Compact customers are
financially supporting renewable energy resources, including resources located on Cape Cod. In
addition, NextEra deposits all premiums paid for voluntary RECs, plus their supplier and retail
fees (expected to total over $3 million per year), into a trust fund to be used solely for the
development of new renewable energy resources. By purchasing electricity through the Compact,
all Compact power supply customers are supporting renewable energy and acting locally to
combat climate change.
As of December 2021, the Compact updated two power supply options, CLC Local Green 50 and
CLC Local Green 100. The CLC Local Green program gives customers an option to support local
renewable energy development by paying a small premium on their monthly electric bill. The
Compact uses this premium to purchase and retire Massachusetts Class 1 RECs such that a total
of either 50 percent or 100 percent of customers’ annual electricity usage is matched with Class
1 RECs, inclusive of the RECs retired as part of the Compact’s standard power supply product.
These additional Class 1 RECs are sourced from renewable energy projects in New England,
including several solar installations on Cape Cod.
At the 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; however, natural gas pipeline capacity has not substantially increased
during that same period. This creates a supply shortage of natural gas for electricity production
during winter cold snaps, and therefore increases prices for electric generators, which is passed
on to all New England power supply customers. Until such time as 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 reduce their electricity costs through innovative energy
efficiency programs to mitigate the impacts of higher winter electricity pricing.
As of December 2021, the Compact had approximately 6,178 electric accounts in the Town of
Orleans on its power supply.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Cape Light Compact provides technical assistance and valuable incentives and rebates to
residential and business customers, whether you rent or own your home or business space,
through their energy efficiency program. 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

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. The Compact also participated in state regulatory
proceedings related to the retail electric market, pushing for policies that promote a competitive
power supply market while ensuring common-sense protections for consumers.

CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE
The Orleans Home Rule Charter is the framework for our Town governance. You can find a link
to it at www.town.orleans.ma.us. Once every seven years, a Charter Review Committee (CRC)
is appointed by the Select Board to review the provisions of the Charter and report any
amendments deemed advisable. Amendments are brought forward as articles at a future Town
Meeting for voters to approve or reject. Approved articles are sent to the Massachusetts Attorney
General for review, and if accepted, will appear on the next ballot for final approval.
The CRC has been meeting since October 5, 2020. Meetings can be seen live on Channel 18,
attended at Town Hall or by Zoom, depending on the current status of the COVID-19 Pandemic,
usually on the first and third Mondays of each month, except holidays. The members of the CRC
bring a variety of experience to the task. Two members worked on previous reviews.
We have asked many Town department heads, elected and appointed officials, and staff how the
Charter is working well and not so well helping them to carry out the duties of their particular office.
We have heard comments from residents on issues and procedures that they feel are in need of
review. A number of revisions have been proposed. Information on these deliberations can be
found in our minutes and on the CRC Resource Page on the Town website. No final
recommendations have been agreed upon and before they are presented to the Select Board
there will be a public hearing.
Please share your comments in the following ways:

COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE
The Community Preservation Act (CPA) enriches Orleans’ unique character by funding activities
for Historic Preservation, Affordable Housing, Recreation and Open Space. The Town entered
the state program in 2005. Resources are generated by a 3% local surcharge on real estate
property taxes (surtax), matched by a grant from the State, currently equal to around a third of
what is raised locally.
A nine-member Community Preservation Committee (CPC) manages the CPA for the Town by
conducting a selection process and recommending funding awards to the Select Board and then,
for final approval, at the Town Meeting.
The CPC communicates the availability of these funds and the corresponding application process
through local newspapers, the town website and email. The Committee conducts reviews,
interviews, and holds a public hearing to determine which projects to forward for funding.
Committee members monitor each project to ensure it stays on course and within budget.
The CPC recommended funding twenty projects in the CPA budget (Article 16) at the Spring Town
Meeting of 2021, including:
•Orleans Affordable Housing Trust Fund $300,000
•Restoration and Preservation of Galley West $64,000
•French Cable Station Museum Renovations $31,810
•Center for Culture and History in Orleans, Hurd Chapel $132,000
•14 Bike Racks around Orleans $19,038
•Pickleball Courts $40,000
•Acquisition of 66 Portanimicut Rd for trail network connector $250,000
In total, the Town Meeting approved funding for activities worth $1,455,292. This sum included
$343,918 for Open Space debt.
Additionally, under Article 17, the CPC recommended, and the Town approved, securing a bond
for $2,000,000 to help fund the development of 52 or more affordable housing units at the former
Cape Cod Five operations center on West Road in Orleans.
In November 2021, seventeen applications were received for projects seeking FY23 funding.
Despite the challenges of the pandemic, the “state match” funding was somewhat larger than in
prior years and approximately $400,000 will be reserved for projects next year.
The Community Preservation Committee remains committed to supporting projects in the areas
of Community Housing, Historic Preservation, Open Space and Recreation. Learn more by visiting

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 2021, the Conservation Commission heard
approximately 55 Notices of Intent, 105 other filings including Certificates of Compliance,
Amended Orders, and Requests for Determination, and reviewed and completed 150
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 2021, the Conservation Commission
and the Department of Public Works Natural Resources continued to improve, manage, and maintain
the Town conservation areas.
Meeting Schedule
The Conservation Commission meets in the mornings the first four Tuesdays of every month. New
hearings are advertised the first and third weeks of the month.

COUNCIL ON AGING
In a year in which the pandemic disrupted everyone’s lives and permeated the way we performed
our activities of daily living, the COA responded to the evolving needs of older adults and
caregivers in our community. We offered a full complement of virtual programs and services at
the beginning of the year, and then implemented stringent safety protocols and were one of the
first senior centers on the Cape to reopen to in-person activities in the spring. We managed to
make sure seniors had help with their taxes and health insurance decisions, transportation to
medical appointments and essential errands, received important legal consultations, and more.
131
COA 2021 Highlights:
•The Orleans COA was the only adult day care program to reopen on the Cape this year to
provide support to caregivers and those living with brain changes and disabilities.
•Spent a great deal of time and effort helping those who were homebound or without access to
technology arrange vaccination and booster shot appointments, hosting county clinics, and
transporting those who didn’t drive to their appointments.
•Prepared and delivered thousands of home cooked meals to seniors with limited supports
available.
•Provided critical technology teaching programs to help those learning about available
technology and offered a free iPad loan program with data plan enabled devices for those
without home internet access.
•Worked with Cape COAST (Councils on Aging Serving Together) to leverage our collective
resources to provide a greater variety of regional virtual program opportunities focusing on
engagement, enrichment, and education.
•Utilized our garden walkway to safely hold in-person group activities which included Lunch &
Listen concerts, Tai Chi, an ice cream social, yoga, and more.
This has been a difficult and rewarding year as we have done important work to support older
adults and caregivers during the pandemic. We have learned that the COA provides essential
services to some of our most vulnerable residents, and the support of the community has been
vital to our ability to respond to concerns and meet needs. This year we have been particularly
appreciative of the support and collaboration with the Fire, Police and Health Departments who
have worked attentively with the COA. Our accomplishments are only possible because of the
dedication and passion of a fabulous team of staff who always wanted to be sure we met the
needs of those we serve, as well as the support of our amazing volunteers and the COA and
Friends Boards.

CULTURAL COUNCIL
The Orleans Cultural Council (OCC) works with the Mass Cultural Council (MCC) and the Town of
Orleans as leaders, stewards, and advocates in supporting the arts, humanities, and sciences
through annual grants, initiatives, and advocacy for nonprofit cultural organizations, schools, and
artists to ensure that everyone has a place in the rich cultural life of the Orleans community.
The OCC is one of 329 Massachusetts towns that receive Mass Cultural Council
(massculturalcouncil.org) funds annually for the sole purpose of supporting community-based
programs. Decisions about which activities to support are made at the community level by the local
Orleans council, a board of municipally appointed members.
In 2021, the MCC allocated $5,000 to Orleans for 2022 projects. On December 13, 2021, the OCC
met to review 29 grant applications with a total budget of $5,500 (the MCC allocation of $5,000 plus
$500 from unused funds from a prior year). Out of the 29 submissions, the council selected 11 for
complete or partial funding. These included a broad variety of talks, presentations, and concerts that
benefit the local and regional community: art and music programs at Snow Library; free workshops
by the Cape Cod Chamber Orchestra in collaboration with the Alzheimer’s Family Support Center of
Cape Cod; free concerts and pop-up events in outdoor spaces across Cape Cod, organized by
Beyond the Bounds; free classes in Capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art, in Orleans; a Lunch &
Listen in the Garden program at the Orleans Council on Aging; and more.
Conservator Debra Dickinson is almost done with the restoration of the town-owned, historic oil
portrait of the town’s namesake—Louis Philippe II, Duc d’Orleans (1747–1793). However, she
recently had to put the project on hold due to COVID-related supply-chain issues. Once she
receives the needed materials, she will resume work. When completed, the OCC will proceed with
plans to mount the painting in Town Hall and to hold a small reception to recognize those who
contributed to the project.
As of December 2021, the OCC has begun to work with the town’s regional schools to revive the
annual student art exhibition in recognition of Youth Art Month, a nationwide promotion of arts and
art education (this event wasn’t held in 2021 due to the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic
and associated health risks). The art exhibition provides a wonderful opportunity for young people
to have their work on view in a real-life, public setting where they can share it with the town’s
residents and visitors alike.

CULTURAL DISTRICT
Cultural District: State-designated areas that foster artists, cultural organizations, and entrepreneurs to
improve the quality of life, attract visitors, and stimulate local economic activity – MCC
The Town of Orleans is a State Designated Cultural District that fosters artists, cultural
organizations and entrepreneurs to improve the quality of life, attract visitors and stimulate the
Orleans Economy. The Orleans Cultural District Committee (OCD) works with all Orleans
resources to develop strategic planning for the District, working together to identify strengths and
missions to help implement Town Planning Department goals through a collaborative agenda.
OCD planned to return the Old Firehouse Community Center to Pre-Covid usage level by a range
of organizations, and to expand free diverse programming that supports the resurgence of Main
St., and recreates the historic building as a hub of activity.
To expand free cultural activities on Main St., the Orleans Cultural District created a Pop-Up Live
Music Saturday Series at OF/Parish Park providing public space for a variety of local musicians
to perform every Saturday, from Sept.18th through Nov. 27th. This successful program became
the basis for a 2022 MCC Project Grant that OCD submitted in order to fund a repeat Live Music
Pop-Up Series in the Spring of ’22, from April through June. OCD also submitted a $7500 grant
budget to MCC for marketing, operations and programming which was approved with funds
available for the year 2022.
OCD is known for its collaborative work around the arts, culture and the local economy, with OCD
members appointed to 3 Task Force Committees and represented at Town Economic
Development focus groups. Initiation of free programs to meet community needs includes
partnering with local bookstores, music studios, theatre and school programs and the Chamber
of Commerce. Members staffed an MCC June festival Mini-Grant promoting 2 free Live Music
concerts in Orleans. For December’s Winterfest, a seasonal Lighting Event funded by the OIA,
the District partnered to facilitate the lighting of the new “Townie Bike”, a Commissioned rebar
Lighted Sculpture of a10ft. bicycle installed at Depot Square near the CC Rail Trail.
OCD annually identifies and updates the Town of Orleans Cultural Assets information, building
public awareness of Orleans’ creativity, traditions, culture and vitality. Personal contact is made
with each of the identified assets, 46, to date. Marketing funding is used to visually identify the
District with 17 Light Post Street Banners, State Cultural District Signage, updating and
distributing an Annual Cultural District brochure, Storefront video, 2 District walking maps, and
maintaining the OCD website.
OCD continues to initiate collaborative efforts between other organizations and welcomes all
ideas and proposals. Strong partnerships with State programs, OCP, OIA, the Chamber, Town
Depts., Town Committees, LCC’s and local non-profits are sources for project support, either
through volunteers or available through specific funding requests. OCD accepts donations to a
Town Gift Account which are used for programming related to grant funding and augments
volunteer dedication and commitment.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
Highway Department
The Highway Department is responsible for the maintenance and improvement of approximately
60 miles of roadway, 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 2021 include the following:
Drainage:
Culvert repair on Winslow Drive

Responsible for setting up and hosting multiple vaccination clinics at our facility in which
vehicles drove through our vehicle storage area to obtain their vaccine.
Roadway Improvements:
Overlay paving was achieved on Rock Harbor Road from the harbor to Bridge Road and
Salty Ridge Road.
Patching of roadways occurred on Cedar Land Road, Seavers Road, Cross Road, Winslow
Drive and Winslow Way.
Roads that were patched, crack sealed and received a chip seal application were Quanset
Road (Well 7 to Route 28), Champlain Road, Snow Shore Road and Portanimicut Road
(Quanset Rd. end)

throughout the Town and caused major power outages.
Installed decorative lighting on the downtown trees to increase beautification.
Other Projects Cont.:
The Department continued to maintain and repair the town roadways and road edge areas.
Significant time and effort were spent addressing potholes, patching, repairing and
improving berms and curbing to improve drainage along roadways. Roadside brush
cutback and roadside mowing of grasses is always a priority
The Department continued to maintain the town drainage system. This work involves the
maintenance of 1500 catch basins, leaching pits and related piping. The department
removed approximately 60 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 137 tons of sand and debris from the roadways
and parking lots in 2021. Similar to the catch basin material the disposal of street
sweepings is also regulated by the Department of Environmental Protection.
135
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 2021 the department responded to 12 recorded winter storm events, 2 of which were a full
plowing events which involved private snowplow contractors. Approximately 550 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 Harbormaster
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
all of our Town properties. The Parks Department strives every year to ensure the landscape of
all town parcels is kept to the highest standards and they take 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. Their responsibilities
include 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.
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 2021 are shown in the following table. Quantities from 2020 are included for comparison.

FINANCE COMMITTEE
On behalf of the Orleans Finance Committee, I am pleased to present the Committee's annual
report on its activities during calendar year 2021. The Finance Committee, comprised of nine
members appointed by the Town Moderator per the Town Charter, is charged with independently
examining and analyzing the financial affairs of the Town, including proposed budgets, Capital
Improvement Plans, and other issues having a financial impact on the Town and its taxpayers,
and to inform the citizens of the Town of its findings and recommendations.
Communication, Collaboration and Transparency
For the past few years, the Committee has invited the “owners” of key components of the Town
budget to Finance Committee meetings for open discussions regarding the cost drivers and
challenges for their Departments or budgets. In mid-March of 2020, we shifted from in-person
meetings to “virtual” webinar meetings due to COVID-19 restrictions and we continued that
approach through all of 2021. The meetings help us (and our listeners) to better understand
Departmental operations, resource requirements and capital project planning for the budget year
in the context of longer term needs. The 2021 meetings included:
137
January 7 - Orleans Elementary School (OES) School Committee and School Principal
January 21 - Nauset Regional School District (NRSD) School Committee
February 4 - Town Administrator John Kelly, Finance Director Cathy Doane and DPW Director
Tom Daley
February 11 - Charter Review Committee Representatives
February 18 - Orleans Fire Chief Geof Deering and Deputy Chief Tim Gula
March 4 - Cape Tech High School Superintendent Bob Sanborn
March 18 - Community Preservation Committee Chairman Walter North
April 8 - MIS Manager Peter Van Dyck
April 29 - Board of Water & Sewer Commissioners (BOWSC), AECOM and Tighe & Bond
Representatives
May 6 - Town Administrator John Kelly and Finance Director Cathy Doane
August 12 - BOWSC, AECOM and Tighe & Bond Representatives
September 9 - Town Assessor Brad Hinote
September 16 - OES School Committee Representatives; Fire Chief Geof Deering and Building
& Facilities Manager Ron Collins
October 7 - Town Administrator John Kelly and Finance Director Cathy Doane; DPW Director
Tom Daley and Natural Resources Manager Nate Sears
November 18 - BOWSC, AECOM and Tighe & Bond Representatives
Finance Committee meetings are open to the public and broadcast live on Channel 18 with
meeting videos posted on the Town’s website. Minutes of Finance Committee meetings and the
Committee’s Annual and Fiscal Year reports are available on the Committee website.
The Finance Committee participates actively in the Town’s annual budget assessment process.
Committee liaisons to each Town department also keep track of major initiatives throughout the
year. With the pandemic continuing, we have checked in frequently with our liaison departments
and have provided updates on their activities during our Finance Committee meetings (eg,
election-related information from the Town Clerk’s Office; flu clinic and COVID clinic information
from the Health Department; and water bill and tax bill information from the Water Department
and the Tax Collector’s office, respectively). This year, the findings and recommendations from
our departmental budget reviews were posted on the Finance Committee website - available for
all to review. We will continue to look for more and better ways to communicate with the residents
of Orleans.
The Committee also discusses financial topics and concerns at Select Board meetings as
warranted throughout the year. At Town Meeting in May, Finance Committee members presented
their views on various Warrant articles, both “pro” and “con" as appropriate.
The Finance Committee receives a number of monthly reports from the Finance Director’s office
and follows up with questions if/as needed for the Finance Director and/or department managers.
We look forward to the on-line financial reporting as proposed in the Finance Director’s goals for
FY22. In Fin Comm’s proposed changes to the Town Charter, we have suggested quarterly Fin
Comm meetings with the Town Administrator and the Finance Director.
Economic Vitality and Long-Term Capital Planning
Last year the Finance Committee emphasized the need for updating the Town’s Comprehensive
Plan, with an immediate focus on Economic Vitality, which would help to identify long-term
priorities and business development and job opportunities. Town Meeting in May approved $60k
in funding for a Downtown Economic Study to “study existing conditions in Orleans, evaluate
138
market trends and recommend an overall economic strategy for the Town.” A consulting firm has
been hired to work with the Planning Board on this effort and the first of what will likely be many
community outreach sessions took place in mid-December. This is expected to be a 6-month
project.
In this year’s Warrant, we also noted that the Town needs a longer-range, more consistent and
more inclusive planning process that incorporates all components of the Town’s infrastructure.
Such a plan would conform to the Town-wide Economic Vitality Plan. Both plans might consider
the timing and funding for a new Fire Station, a Community Center, and the development of the
Gov. Prence Properties, as well as any number of other facilities and infrastructure components.
May Town Meeting approved $35k in funding for a Community Center Feasibility Study, October
Town Meeting approved $75k in funding to help develop recommendations regarding the use of
the Gov. Prence properties and $100k to redirect the Fire Station Feasibility Study to focus on a
new building at perhaps a new location. All of these studies have separate task forces, “charges”
and due dates.
At the September 8 Public Hearing on FY23 budget priorities, the Finance Committee urged the
Select Board and Town Administration to focus on long-term planning - on a twenty-year horizon
perhaps and not just the 5-year plan built into the annual Capital Improvements Planning process.
A long-term plan would consider the timing and cost of longer-term needs of critical facilities such
as the Council on Aging (out of space and located in a flood zone); Orleans Elementary School
(an aging building that we continue to repair piece-by-piece) and Snow Library (out of space, with
limited state funding; an aging building that we continue to repair piece-by-piece) as well as
infrastructure components and the potential impact of climate change on our beloved beaches as
well as low-lying roads and Town landings. At that same meeting, we also noted the need for
succession planning, with many key Town employees eligible for retirement in the next few years.
Such planning should also address the need for additional or different resources as needs
change.
Two positive outcomes from the September 8 meeting. First, the FY23 budget materials
distributed to all department managers in late October included a 5-year “Future Growth Potential”
worksheet for documenting departmental projections over the next 5 years which could include
program and service-level changes and resource requirements as well as succession planning.
The information provided will be used to prioritize funding requests. Second, the chairs and vice-
chairs of the Select Board and the Finance Committee met more recently to determine how best
to continue the long-term planning discussion. After the FY24-28 CIP is presented in mid-January
with the FY23 budget, the discussion will continue, mapping all known/potential projects on a
timeline with funding options identified for each project. It will be important to tie together all of
the capital planning/development studies and planning initiatives currently underway/anticipated.
Community Development and Affordable Living
In 2020, the Finance Committee met with NRSD Building Project and School Committee
representatives and others to learn as much as possible about the Nauset Regional High School
(“NRHS”) Building Project. On December 10, 2020, the NRSD School Committee voted to hold
a special District-wide election in March 2021 for the NRHS Building Project. On January 21, the
Finance Committee met with NRSD School Committee representatives for a discussion on the
budget development process and an update on the NRSD Building Project. At our February 11
meeting, the Finance Committee voted 4-3-1 to support the Building Project and 5-3 in favor of
the related debt exclusion ballot issue. There is a special section on the Fin Comm website that
includes Fin Comm-related background information on the Building Project (eg, Q&A session
materials, meeting minutes, etc.).
139
On January 7, the Finance Committee met with the OES School Committee and others for a
discussion on the OES budget development process. The topic of “Universal Pre-K” was covered
briefly in January - but then more thoroughly at an OES School Committee meeting in mid-July
with Jacqui Beebe, the Eastham Town Administrator outlining the steps taken by Eastham to
initiate and formalize their “Universal Pre-K” program. Fin Comm continued to provide support
for the proposed Orleans “Pre-K” program all the way through until its adoption at the Orleans
Special Town Meeting in October, and approval at the ballot on November 2 (see the special
section on the Fin Comm website). This program is just one step in a broader focus on affordable
living for the Town of Orleans.
Policies and Procedures
At the Special Town Meeting in October 2020, Enterprise Funds were established to more easily
track the revenues and expenses associated with beach operations, the transfer station, the Rock
Harbor boat basin, mooring operations and sewer operations. The Finance Committee reviewed
the budgets for these Enterprise Funds as they were being developed and provided input
regarding the clarity of the information that was eventually presented in the May Town Meeting
Warrant. Fin Comm also reviewed the draft Enterprise Fund policy approved by the Select Board,
and encouraged the inclusion of the brief Enterprise Fund “tutorial” in the Town Meeting Warrant.
This past summer, the Committee developed and adopted a “Code of Conduct” which establishes
standards with which Fin Comm conducts its business in order to achieve and maintain a high
level of public confidence, trust and respect for its professionalism. The document is posted on
the Fin Comm website and has been shared with the Select Board, Town Administration and other
Town Boards and Committees. We encourage the adoption of a similar “Code of Conduct” that
would govern all “Town Hall” relationships.
In early December, the Finance Committee met with the Charter Review Committee to review a
number of Fin Comm-proposed changes to the Town Charter, most of which were specific to Fin
Comm roles and responsibilities. A few general comments included streamlining the document
wherever possible and moving detailed procedures to Town Policies to make the Charter easier
to maintain going forward. The Finance Committee suggestions for Charter changes do not
envision any change in Fin Comm’s role.
Going Forward
As outlined above, 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 and customer focus. This includes helping to ensure easier access
to information that is timely, relevant and understandable for all Orleans citizens. This
commitment will continue to guide the Committee's activities to meet its Charter-mandated
obligations.

FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT &
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
FIRE-RESCUE
On behalf of the men and women of the Orleans Fire-Rescue Department, I present the 2021
annual report. Each year presents its series of challenges and its accomplishments.
As first responders, all members of the Orleans Fire-Rescue Department have a multitude of
emergency medical and fire suppression related responsibilities and duties that vary not only day-
to-day, but sometimes minute-by-minute. All front-line personnel are cross trained as firefighters
and either Paramedics or Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT). The department operates on
a four-group system. Full time personnel work 24 hour shifts with a duty cycle of on-off-on-off for
five days. Each group is comprised of a Captain, a Lieutenant, and three firefighters. There is a
minimum of four personnel on duty for each shift.
In addition to front-line personnel, the Orleans Fire-Rescue Department is supported by a Chief,
Deputy Chief, Fire Inspector, Emergency Medical Services Coordinator, and an Office Manager.
These members provide organizational oversight, policy direction, fiscal management, ambulance
service administration, fire prevention/inspection, and community relations for the Department.
The primary responsibility is to provide our frontline personnel with the knowledge, equipment,
and support necessary to respond to the community’s needs while being good stewards of public
funds and ensuring alignment with the department’s strategic plan, goals, and objectives.
The department has engaged in a comprehensive strategic planning process that was completed
in January 2021. With the help of Ostman Business Strategies, we have worked through an
extensive look at every part of our operation currently and into the future. The final product is a
road map for success for the next five years for our department. Every member of our agency has
contributed to the development of the plan. Through the process we have redefined our mission,
vision, and our core values. Additionally, thirty-five different goals have been delineated in five
areas. Using the strategic plan as our guide, we will continue to improve as an organization and
better serve the needs of our community.
Through 2021, we have worked closely with other town and county agencies to support efforts for
COVID-19 vaccination. Fire Department staff was critical to the success of the many vaccination
clinics held at the Orleans Department of Public Works, at the Council on Aging, in Schools, as
well as our homebound residents.
We have started a critical project to improving the working conditions for our members and
enhancing service delivery to the community. An all-inclusive existing conditions report detailing
the challenges of our current station was completed in August 2021. The report explains the
current lack of space, unhealthy working conditions, and limits to our ability to respond to
emergencies. The report makes clear how renovation or addition will not solve the difficulties of
the current station. Funds were approved at Fall Town Meeting for a comprehensive feasibility
study for the fire station location to help determine the future path of the building to meet the needs
of the department to better serve the community.
This year brought the retirement of long serving Firefighter L. Michael Pires. Additionally,
Firefighter Scott Renkainen and Firefighter Henry Rex left the department. We are grateful for
their dedicated service to our community. New firefighters were appointed in 2021: Gabriella
Parker, Cole Daffinee, and Andrew Lovely.
141
In closing, I would like to express my gratitude to the members of the Orleans Fire-Rescue
Department who tirelessly serve our community, especially during the demands of the COVID-19
pandemic. It is an honor to work side by side with such a talented and dedicated group. Also,
thank you to the citizens of Orleans who support us every day, we are privileged to serve you.
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
The Orleans Emergency Management team seeks to promote a safer community with the ability
to cope with both natural and man-made disasters. It is charged with protecting the Town by
coordinating the necessary activities to mitigate against, prepare for, respond to, and recover from
these emergencies and disasters.
Each year, we continue to work with the Massachusetts Maritime Academy’s Emergency
Management program. This year, we had an intern (Kyle Garner) work on updating emergency
incident plans.
In December of 2021, we hosted a tabletop exercise testing our response to a major snowstorm.
A “tabletop exercise” is a “discussion-based sessions where team members meet in an informal,
classroom setting to discuss their roles during an emergency and their responses to a particular
emergency situation. A facilitator guides participants through a discussion of one or more
scenarios” We were honored to collaborate with our partner agencies from Eastham, the Nauset
Regional School District, Barnstable County, and Eversource. The goal of this type of exercise is
to build cooperation, identify areas for improvement, and create solutions that ultimately better
serve the community.
The COVID-19 Pandemic has brought challenges to our community. The Emergency
Management team has worked to address these challenges. A few of the areas that have been
addressed include acquiring appropriate personal protective equipment for town departments,
providing collaboration to assist in meal/grocery deliveries, and managing federal and state
reimbursements related to the costs associated with the pandemic. Through collaboration with
Barnstable County Emergency Planning, we participated in multiple sheltering discussions, as
well as conferences calls for storms, COVID-19, and other events.
We continue to work closely with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA)
who has assisted us with personal protective equipment and significant guidance through the
year.Our mission is to mitigate storm damage, respond to emergency requests, and provide
information on the proper actions to take during emergencies. We would like to remind citizens to
sign up for CivicReady emergency notification system, which can be found on the Town of Orleans
website. We encourage our citizens to stay prepared in case of a storm or other emergency.

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION COMMITTEE
We are pleased to provide this annual message on behalf of the Orleans Fourth of July
Celebration Committee. Our committee was more than thrilled to be able to hold a parade on
July 4, 2021, after missing the celebrations due to COVID-19 in 2020.
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 at 10 a.m. on July 4, 2021. This year’s
parade had a great crowd, larger than in several years, and was led by Grand Marshall (Retired)
Orleans Police Lt. Kevin Higgins in the ‘46. We were thrilled to honor Lt. Higgins for his over 30
years of service to Orleans.
The Parade had some new entrants as well as many old favorites. Seventy-five 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 America is Back! The 2021
Parade Winners – Business, 1st The Farm, 2nd Lake Farm Kennels, 3rd John Martin Excavating.
Non-Profits ,1st Orleans Yacht Club, 2nd Orleans Firebirds, 3rd The Needs Center.
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.
Our Fund-Raising Effort The Committee appreciates the Town Meeting appropriation of up to
$8000 to support the 2021 Parade. Our goals this year were to continue to add additional music
and entertainment, and we were able to add both. 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 2022 Fourth of July activities! The Fireworks will take place, at
dusk, on Friday, July 1st (rain date is July 5th). The Parade will step off on Saturday, July 4,
2022, at 10:00 am from Eldredge Park Way. Visit: www.orleans4thofjuly.com for more info!

HISTORICAL COMMISSION
Since 1965, the Orleans Historical Commission has been striving to preserve the rich heritage of
our town through public education, advocacy, and the development of programs and activities
geared to the conservation of our historic buildings, landscapes, and streetscapes. We believe
that these special buildings and places help define our town and make it a very special place.
2022 marks the 225th anniversary of our town’s incorporation in 1797. The history of our town over
these years has many threads, including maritime, agricultural, educational, ecclesiastical, civic,
cultural, commercial, and military. In recent years many of the historic buildings that provide visible
representations of these threads of our heritage have fallen to the bulldozer’s blade.
Unfortunately, the character of our town as a historic Cape Cod village is disappearing one
building at a time.
During 2021, the Historical Commission finalized plans to propose that the town establish a
historic district on Main Street in East Orleans, between the Rt. 28 intersection and the Barley
Neck Inn. This is a 1.2-mile scenic drive that contains forty-six properties listed on the Orleans
Historic Properties Survey, which is on file with the Massachusetts Historical Commission.
Included are forty-one buildings, two cemeteries, and three historic monuments. The street was
once the institutional, ecclesiastical, and civic center of our town, and contains several large-scale
buildings that represent this past status. Included are the Old Town Hall, the Federated Church,
the Universalist Meeting House, and the Methodist Church. It also contains a well-preserved and
cohesive collection of historic residences from the early 19th century through the early 20th century,
reflecting the period of prosperity from the fishing and agricultural industries. It is the largest
cohesive historic area remaining in Orleans, and one cannot drive, walk, or cycle this street
without getting a sense of our heritage.
The primary purpose of the proposed historic district is to prevent the demolition of historic
structures and new construction in the district that diminishes the historic look and feel of the
streetscape. However, the proposed district would not regulate routine alterations that a resident
might want to make to their homes. Examples of what would not be regulated include paint colors,
windows, doors, landscaping, and solar panels. We are not looking to turn Main Street into a
museum set-piece and understand the need to accommodate progress and how it impacts the
way people live.
We look forward to presenting this proposal to our citizens in 2022, and this opportunity to
preserve the historic qualities of our town.
Respectfully submitted,
Ron Petersen, Chair
Orleans Historical Commission

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 Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP) which
provides rental assistance to individuals and families. We also subsidize the rent for two staffed
residences for persons with mental and physical disabilities. The OHA subsidizes the rent for six
of eight rooms through a federal HUD Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation grant at Canal House
which is a supportive residence for individuals in recovery from substance abuse. In addition, we
serve as property manager for the Eastham Housing Authority which owns thirteen affordable
rental apartments.
Finally, the Commissioners thank Tim Buhler, Executive Director; Melissa Phillips, Assistant
Director; Robert Plausky, Maintenance Supervisor; and Al Fearnley, Maintenance Assistant for
their hard work throughout a challenging year.

MARINE AND FRESH WATER QUALITY COMMITTEE
The Committee continued to assist the Town by providing review of marine and freshwater
management efforts and coordinating water quality monitoring by citizen volunteers, an ongoing
21-year effort.
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 587
samples were collected on five mornings between July and early September. Samplers
documented weather conditions and took direct readings measurements of water temperature,
salinity, dissolved oxygen, and water clarity. Water quality samples were sent to the School for
Marine Science and Technology, UMass, Dartmouth (SMAST) for analyses. Past data was used
in MEP assessments of Pleasant Bay, Cape Cod Bay estuary creeks, the Nauset Estuary, and
their various ponds, as well as guidance for the Town's wastewater planning. Continuing data
collection will help to review anticipated improvements as the CWMP is implemented in the
watersheds containing Arey’s, Lonnie’s, Meetinghouse and Paw Wah Ponds, inside Pochet Inlet,
and Mill Pond and Town Cove.
Volunteer freshwater lake and pond monitoring also continued with laboratory support provided
by SMAST. Water quality samples were collected from 14 named freshwater ponds in the spring
and 11 in 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. However, the completion of
pond management plans and implementation of water quality improvement strategies will help
restore these systems.
The Committee worked with town consultants to start the implementation phase for Uncle
Harvey’s Pond, the first freshwater pond Management Plan completed as part of the CAMP. An
alum treatment was successfully completed in May 2021, and follow-up monitoring showed
reductions in phosphorus concentrations and improvements in water clarity throughout the
summer. No cyanobacteria blooms occurred. The Committee also reviewed the pond
management plans for Pilgrim Lake and Crystal Lake and submitted formal management
146
recommendations to the Select Board, including reviewing sewering costs for their watershed.
Finally, a draft pond Management Plan was submitted by SMAST for Baker Pond and the
Committee will be reviewing this plan during early 2022.
Management Plan implementation for the brackish Cedar Pond continues, with annual adjustment
of the outlet boards and on-going monitoring. Monitoring has shown water quality improvements
each year since the approval of the Management Plan and reinstallation of the outlet boards in
2018. Other management plan activities have included removal of the low-power lines spanning
the pond by Eversource in 2019; these lines were a primary roosting and nutrient deposition area
for up to 800 cormorants. The Town, SMAST and the MassDMF have coordinated on
management activities since the Plan was approved. The Town DPW also completed Locust
Road drainage improvements.
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 continued to serve on the Conservation Commission and Dredge
Advisory Committee.
The Select Board expanded committee membership from 7 Members, to 9 (two Associate
Members).
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 the retired veterans of these organizations, the 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. In the fall of 2018, the Select Board
unanimously voted to include within the charge of the committee the ability to seek funding to
147
enhance the Memorial Park, located at the intersection of Main St. and Rte 28. The need to do
so arose from the request by residents to recognize the sacrifices of present-day Veterans, who
have served during the Cold War, Gulf war, as well as Afghanistan and Iraq wars. A Computer
Aided Design was provided to the Board of Selectman in March of 2020, which proposed a
conceptual idea of an upgraded park including a pathway that would serpentine throughout the
center of the park and allow wheelchair access. The updated park would retain much of the
established trees and plantings. This plan was unanimously voted in favor and the committee
continued its work through the COVID 19 challenge for meetings. At the Fall town meeting, the
townspeople unanimously voted to rename the park “Veterans Memorial Park at Academy
Place”. Through assistance of the Community Preservation Committee (CPC) funding was
sought and granted to improve this Park. A non-profit 501 C3 (Friend's of Veterans Memorial
Park) was established in the summer of 2021 to continue seeking funds to improve and enhance
the Park). In the fall of 2021 a conceptual drawing was created and is presently being worked on
with the Town of Orleans project manager Ron Collins. Though the pandemic certainly put a
damper on forward progress, it did not dampen the spirit of the committee and their desire to
honor our local veterans. The Committee will continue to seek funding through grants that are
available to preserve the existing memorials and to enhance and beautify the Park.
Presently, the Committee is understaffed and welcomes any interested persons to attend a
scheduled meeting and possibly join.

BEACHES DIVISION
In 2020, the Town was awarded a coastal resiliency grant to supplemental fund the construction
of Nauset Beach parking lot at 223 Beach Road. Construction began in December 2021 and will
be on-going into 2022. The Nauset Beach Parking Lot was full 22 days, and the Skaket Beach
Parking Lot was full 35 days. The Monday Night Concert Series at Nauset Beach was cancelled
in 2020 due to COVID-19 concerns but was reinstated for the 2021 season and continues to be
a success.

TOTAL $1,733,986.83
Each spring, the Department of Public Works & Natural Resources monitors Nauset and Skaket
Beaches for coastal waterbirds of special concern, and Diamond-backed terrapins. Because they
are rare in Massachusetts, Piping plovers, Least terns, American Oystercatchers and Diamond-
backed terrapins are protected by the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act and laws. Come
April 1st, designated areas of critical habitat are fenced off with stakes and twine, and “Area
Closed” signs are posted to create an undisturbed, protected dune area for favorable foraging
and nesting. As specified in the 2021 Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), the Town provides
funding to cover the protection of Piping plovers, Least terns and Diamond-backed terrapins, that
may be exposed to human activity. Because storms had an effect on the beach, the Town did not
implement an HCP on Nauset Beach during the 2021 season.
Data for the following species of special concern were submitted to the State’s Natural Heritage
Endangered Species 2021 Program Census:
Piping Plovers 43 Pairs
Least Terns 373 Pairs

SHELLFISH & HARBORMASTER DEPARTMENT
The Shellfish & Harbormaster Department is responsible for the oversight of virtually all activities
around the town’s shoreline and waterways. The Department consists of three full time employees
and two seasonal patrol boat operators. Our work includes such activities as: issuance of mooring
permits, maintaining mooring waiting lists, issuance of Rock Harbor dockage agreements,
issuance of commercial shellfish licenses, natural resource management and planning, private
aquaculture management, maintenance of town landings, dock and pier repair and construction,
shellfish propagation, setting and hauling of aids to navigation, vessel pump-out service, marine
animal rescue, herring run maintenance and restoration, marine rescue, emergency towing and
enforcement of all federal, state, and local laws, bylaws and regulations governing boating and
shellfishing.
Specific projects for the year were as follows:
Shellfish Propagation Program. During 2021, our department planted 460,000 quahogs and
10,000 oysters in the Nauset and Pleasant Bay estuaries.
I would like to express my sincerest thanks to those residents and town employees who so greatly
assisted us during 2021. Specifically, I would like to thank Department of Public Works Director
Tom Daley, Department of Public Works Operations Manager Ron Trudeau, Fire Chief Geof
Deering, Deputy Fire Chief Tim Gula, Police Chief Scott MacDonald, Deputy Police Chief Sean
Diamond, Lieutenant Jim Rosato, Water Superintendent Todd Bunzick, Conservation Agent John
Jannell, DPW Facilities Manager Ron Collins and their staff for their constant help and support in
our effort to keep the shoreline and waterways of Orleans safe and sound. I would also like to
thank the members of the Shellfish and Waterways Advisory Committee for their dedicated efforts
at preserving the marine resources of the town. I wish to express as always, my gratitude to my
assistants, Gardner Jamieson, and Greg Normandy, for their hard work and overall commendable
performance in their respective positions

NAUSET PUBLIC SCHOOLS
This school year has been unique in so many ways. As educational leaders, we knew moving
into this new school year that it was going to be different from last year. We understood the need
for stability for the district and schools during an incredibly turbulent time of COVID 19. We
anticipated change, yet we also knew that we were continuing to navigate uncharted territory.
Nauset staff continue to demonstrate themselves as outstanding educators. The changes in
education that we have witnessed over the past two years have been unparalleled to anything in
our history of education. They have met all challenges linked to the COVID 19 pandemic with
thoughtfulness, leadership and innovation. Staff and administration have worked collaboratively
to find ways to abide by CDC and DESE guidelines, and continue to move their educational goals
forward.
This year our students are being educated in person. After school activities, clubs and sports are
running, albeit in certain cases with shorter seasons and new regulations in place. We are
working diligently to address not only the academic needs of our students, but the social-
emotional needs as well. We have not yet returned to ‘pre-pandemic’ life, but we are steadily
working to get there.
I could not be more proud of our Nauset Community. Staff, families and students are working in
a collective effort to support all of our efforts and to keep our students educated within the
buildings.
A highlight for our district and communities this year was the approval by the voters in March 2021
to move forward with the Nauset Regional High School Building Project. We are appreciative of
the Brewster, Orleans, Eastham and Wellfleet Communities who supported this exciting venture.
This project will provide our students and future generations with a state of the art learning
experience. The Nauset High School Building Committee meets regularly and is currently in the
planning phase. The project is expected to break ground in July 2022. During the construction
phase of the project, we anticipate that students will be educated in modular units. Please visit
the Nauset Building Project website to be updated on the latest news at
www.nausetbuildingproject.com.
One of the many pleasant things I have discovered during my time at Nauset is the collaborative
community partnerships that exist between Nauset and the member towns. I have met
individually and in groups with our Police Chiefs, Fire Chiefs, Town Administrators and Town
Officials. The Nauset Community as a whole is one of the most supportive I have known, and it
has been a pleasure getting to know and see the level of unity of all members as they work
together. “If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself” - Henry Ford.
I began my work with the Nauset Public Schools in July 2021. We hosted a 3 day summit for all
Administrative Leadership in August entitled “Charting the Course” which was a resounding
success. Through those sessions I learned a great deal about Nauset, the individual needs of
our Principals, schools, staff, students and families. In addition, I quickly realized that the support
of our School Committee members is steadfast and faithful.
This is a fabulous community and I am thankful to be part of the educational leadership team at
Nauset Public Schools.

OLD KING'S HIGHWAY REGIONAL HISTORIC DISTRICT
The Orleans Old Kings Highway Historic District Commission held eight (8) hearings this year
(reduced due to COVID-19).
The Chairman participated in 15 appeal hearings involving the five other towns in the historic
region. There were no appeals filed in Orleans.

OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE
2020 ended well. On December 30, 2020, the Town purchase of 12 Peck’s Way, authorized by
the May 2020 Town Meeting, was completed. Therefore 2021 began with Open Space Committee
(OSC) efforts, in collaboration with the Orleans Conservation Trust (OCT), to present its
application for the purchase of 66 Portanimicut (aka the Greenbelt Gateway) to the Conservation
Commission, the Community Preservation Committee (CPC), the Select Board and finally, to
Town voters at the Annual Town Meeting (ATM) on May 22, 2021.
Unlike the purchase of 12 Peck’s Way, the Greenbelt Gateway, at a reasonably small purchase
price of $250,000, required no bonding. The project was therefore presented to the ATM as project
five among 18 Community Preservation Act (CPA) projects contained in omnibus Article 16 of the
Warrant. The Article was approved as presented.
With the Greenbelt Gateway approved, the OSC turned its attention to a range of projects and
settled on five wetland lots (total: 7.58 acres) abutting Cedar Pond and surrounded by State, Town
and OCT properties. This Cedar Pond venue is one of a very few locations in Orleans containing
the rare AtIantic White Cedar. The Town has engaged in at least a two-decade series of curative
actions at Cedar Pond, to restore the health of the pond and protect abutting wetlands for their
ecological values.
In a group of three of the five lots (total: 6.48 acres) at Cedar Pond, two have owners but no
addresses, and one has no listed owner. Taxes have not been paid on any of the three for many
years. The Town seeks to acquire these three in a “tax-taking”. The remaining two lots (total: 1.1
acres) might possibly be purchased by the Town. These two are unbuildable lots with identified
owners of record. The OSC has commissioned the requisite professional appraisals for each of
the two lot groups, as requested by the Select Board. The OSC submitted a CPC application on
November 19 for the two unbuildable lots and will be working with various Town committees and
officials this Fall in pursuit of these two. The "tax taking" group of three lots will be presented in
an article drafted by Town Counsel at the 2022 Annual Town Meeting. If owners of the second
group of two lots are willing to sell their parcels, the group of two will also be presented in a CPC
article in the same Town Meeting warrant.
152
On December 30, 2021 the year ended well for the Town. Town Counsel closed on 66
Portanimicut, the Greenbelt Gateway. Consequently, OSC will update the Open Space
Acquisition History, and post the update on the Open Space Committee website. It is noteworthy
that since 1987, the Town has acquired, through gift or outright purchase, a total of 230.61 acres
at an average cost of $64,396/acre.
Notably, the OSC is once again at full five-member strength, and looks to the coming year with
redoubled energy.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert Cunningham, Chair, Open Space Committee.
ORLEANS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Orleans Elementary School has continued to maintain and build upon a proud heritage of
excellence and strong academic achievement within a community based, culturally rich learning
environment. Accomplishments during the past year have remained centered on improvement,
alignment, and expansion of quality curriculum programs and effective instruction of the whole
child in a safe and healthy learning environment. An outline of the years accomplishments are

Educational Programming
•We truly cannot adequately express the sufficient amount of gratitude of which is
deserved to so many individuals who so fervently dedicated themselves to the
reopening of school and continual in person learning in this unprecedented year.
We were challenged to recreate school within a very limited amount of time. Our
success in doing that is solely due to the generosity and dedication of individuals
who extended themselves to support our students. Despite the challenges our
situation presented they have kept student care and learning at the center of their
work. They supported students to comfortably adjust to the differences in the daily
experiences and provided them with the confidence they need to be thriving
students, learning and continually growing!
•Launched the OES Reopening Task Team which met, consulted, and planned throughout
the summer 2020 to guide and coordinate school plans to abide by state guidelines while
maintaining the joy and love of learning and the integrity of our school culture.

through the Health and Safety Guidelines, policy, and procedure with keen understanding
and incredible compassion. She maintains her commitment to our school and community’s
health as we continue to deal with the persistent challenges and effects of COVID-19.
•Offered a welcome back virtual book for students in the fall of 2020, created by Martha
Jenkins. The book was filled with child friendly, encouraging, happy images to help
students learn new norms of our school day and to be assured they are in a place of safety,
caring and learning.
•Recreated our routines and procedures to accommodate safety standards of distancing,
hand washing, and mask wearing.
•Developed inventive and interesting recess activities for each class to rotate through
during the week. The faculty facilitated fun, active, socially distant games to engage
separate cohorts each recess. Activities were designed to suit the interests and the age
range of students.
•Provided the student population increased outdoor motor breaks and outdoor learning
time. Students utilized outdoor walking paths to transition in and out of school, and to travel
to various locations in the building throughout the year. Lunch has been held outside and
many of our teachers have taken advantage of our beautiful grounds to conduct lessons
and instruction.
•Continued to integrate Social Pragmatics instruction to all classrooms Kindergarten
through Grade 3 to support emotional regulation for all students. The Social Thinking
Program explicitly teaches what many people are expected to learn implicitly. Social
Thinking is used to teach strategies to support students to enhance their understanding of
the social experience.
•Provided extended learning experiences to all students including Art, Library, Computer,
Music, STEM, Spanish, and two weekly sessions of Physical Education.
•Furthered technology integration in all grades under the guidance and direction of our

• Effectively provided individualized reading instruction to all students to both address gaps
in learning as well as accelerate students’ progress toward grade level standards.
• Advanced reading program with assessments using the iReady Program. This is an on-
line, adaptive diagnostic for reading which identifies student needs down to the sub-skill
level. It is a tool used in combination with other assessments and teacher observations to
identify students’ reading levels, accuracy, fluency, and comprehension. Teachers used
this information for instructional and intervention planning.
• Enhanced and strengthened our school-wide literacy initiative. Despite the restrictions
created by the pandemic, Martha Jenkins, our Literacy Specialist, and Kara Yuen, our
Librarian, organized school-wide activities to nurture a love of reading in all children and
support families to realize the importance of taking time to read for pleasure every day.
They launched an all school adventure with Kenny and the Dragon during “One Book One
School.” Students were buzzing with enthusiasm for the story each day and everyone was
delighted with the fantastic posters and decorations with scenes from the story displayed
inside and outside of the school. Additionally, they treated students to one of our favorite
reading events, FLASHLIGHT FRIDAY, routinely throughout the school year. During
March, for Read Across America Month, various members of the Orleans community made
virtual visits to read stories to students during their weekly Library classes with Mrs. Yuen.
All OES students participated in a read-a-thon during their Library classes, in partnership
with the Orleans PTC. We are so proud to promote the enormous benefits of reading.

with our Local Health Agent, Bob Canning, and the Barnstable County Immunization
Team to provide Flu and COVID Vaccine clinics.
• OES PTC support and generosity has been overwhelming and incredibly appreciated. The
PTC sponsored a very successful “Beach Chair Drive” which provided each student in the
school their own outdoor chair for learning, eating, and taking a mask break. Additionally,
they purchased masks for all staff and students with the OES emblem on them,
accompanied by breakaway lanyards. On top of all of those contributions they equipped
the school with sails to provide sun shade for students when spending additional time in
outdoor areas.
• PTC lavished the outside of the building with beautiful fall, winter and spring decorations.
The parents group provided children the occasion to delight in an OES Winter Wonderland
Lighting to enjoy the winter decorations. Families were invited to drive through the drop-
155
off loop in front of the school to receive a new winter mask and hot cocoa kit. Masks were
sponsored by the PTC & Joe Hartung Sotheby's International Realty and the Hot Cocoa
Kits were provided by The Hot Chocolate Sparrow. At the end of the school year, PTC

Celebration! PTC also continued fundraising efforts through the A+ School Rewards that
works through Stop & Shop. PTC generously supported staff throughout the school year,
sustaining a strong partnership which contributed greatly to our school’s overall
effectiveness.

PLEASANT BAY ALLIANCE
The Pleasant Bay Alliance is an organization of the Towns of Orleans, Chatham, Brewster and
Harwich. The Alliance is charged with implementing the Pleasant Bay Resource Management
Plan encompassing the Pleasant Bay Area of Critical Environmental Concern and Pleasant Bay
watershed. The Alliance develops and distributes public policy recommendations, technical
studies and public informational materials, all available at www.pleasantbay.org. Highlights from
2021 are described below.
In accordance with an inter-municipal agreement among the four towns, the Alliance submitted
the third Pleasant Bay Watershed Permit Annual Report to Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection and the Cape Cod Commission. The report shows that, system-wide,
161
the towns are on track to meet the first five-year nitrogen reduction target under the Watershed
Permit. However, results vary by sub-watershed, and each town is weighing modifications to its
plan for removals required under the permit.
The Alliance coordinated Watershed Permit implementation activities funded by grants totaling
$382,178 from the Southeast New England Estuaries Program, a program funded by US EPA.
Grant-funded activities completed in 2021 included a study of a municipal Innovative/Alternative
septic system program; a nitrogen trading demonstration project; an update of the Massachusetts
Estuaries Project (MEP) model; and a Watershed Permit Guidebook. Studies and fact sheets
describing this work can be found by searching “watershed permit” on the Alliance website,
www.pleasantbay.org. The focus of efforts in 2022 will include modeling analyses using the
updated MEP model, and study of the potential for towns to obtain nitrogen removal credit from
stormwater management activities.
The Alliance completed the 22nd season of the Pleasant Bay Water Quality Monitoring program.
Dedicated volunteers collected samples at 25 bay-wide sites. Data documenting water quality
impairment in the system are used to develop and implement nutrient management plans.
The Alliance concluded work under a $70,050 FY2021 coastal resilience grant from
Massachusetts Coastal Zone Management. Living shoreline concept plans were developed to
protect salt marsh at two locations on the Bay. A FY2022 grant of $141,675 was received to
support permitting of a living shoreline project to protect salt marsh at Jackknife Harbor Beach in
Chatham.
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 2021. The department continues to strive to provide the highest level of professional
police services for residents and visitors alike. The Orleans Police Department is proud to be a
State Accredited agency that operates at the highest level of professional law enforcement
standards. The department is comprised of a group of committed professionals who understand
the importance of fair and impartial policing while fostering positive community relationships. The
Department’s five-year strategic plan continues to guide our organization. The plan’s strategic
goals, plan objectives, and strategies with tactical action plans promotes positive change while
maintaining the department’s strong organizational culture. Moving forward, in order to address
several retirements in 2021, the department will focus on ensuring that our new employees
embrace and promote the culture that has branded our department for many years.
During this past year, three new employees were hired by the police department. Ian Deluca and
John Marsinelli were hired as our newest Patrol Officers. Additionally, Lillian MacLeod was hired
as a new dispatcher. 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 to our
staff, we were saddened to have said goodbye to two of Orleans’ finest. Lieutenant James Rosato
and Officer Kerry O’Connell both retired after thirty-plus years of service to the citizens of Orleans.
Jim and Kerry’s endless contributions to the community will be valued and remembered by all.
The Town of Orleans remains a safe community with a low crime rate. The department’s 2021
crime statistics remain consistent with previous years. Officers responded to 12,889 calls for
service; 104 major motor vehicle crashes resulting in injury or property damage over $1000; 65
arrests or criminal applications, and 2,147 traffic stops. See the detailed activity breakdown at the
end of this report.
Although 2021 brought significant challenges, highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic and
continued nationwide calls for police reform, the department was recognized for its exceptional
community policing practices by the New England Chiefs of Police Association. The All New
England 1st Place Community Policing Award was presented to department personnel earlier this
year. The Orleans Police Department’s policing philosophy has a strong emphasis on community
engagement, and I am grateful that the men and woman of this department have been recognized
for their unwavering commitment to our citizens.
The Orleans Police Department takes great pride in serving our community, and we are grateful
for the overwhelming support we receive from the citizens we are so honored to serve.
Respectfully submitted,
Scott W. MacDonald
Chief of Police

RECREATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Recreation Advisory Committee (RAC) advises the Recreation Director, Town Administrator,
and Select Board on ways to grow and improve recreation in Orleans. We have seven voting
members and two associate members.
RAC continued to use our 2020 Orleans Recreation Survey to set our priorities in 2021. We
continue to elicit more community input and gather meaningful data to inform our
recommendations. This year, RAC gathered, analyzed and evaluated metrics for Orleans
Recreation Department offerings. Such metrics allow us to tailor our recommendations to the
Select Board and the DPW, especially when budgets are considered. We are working with the
Recreation Department to improve the quality of the gathered information, both of metrics and
post-program survey results.
RAC members presented recreation projects to the Orleans Community Preservation Committee
in February. We were gratified to see all seven of our “Orleans Outside” projects supported at
Town Meeting in May. Committee work on those projects continues. The Storybook Trail, picnic
tables, and bike racks are at or near completion. Work to enhance trail signage has begun. The
kayak rack and waterways education project is aimed for a Spring ’23 rollout. While the pickle
ball court and lighted basketball court feasibility study were not able to be completed in 2021, the
Recreation Advisory Committee looks forward to continuing to pursue those projects in 2022.
The Recreation Advisory Committee also continued to make the case for an Orleans Community
Center. RAC members participated in two Orleans Citizens Forums to support the creation of an
Orleans Community Center. We supported a successful warrant article to fund a Community
Center Feasibility Study at the May Town Meeting. The committee looks forward to the results of
that study, and to learning more about ways in which an Orleans Community Center could be a
home for recreation programs and opportunities.
RAC has worked on the problem of overcrowded classes resulting in residents being waitlisted. In
response to the Recreation Director’s concerns that non-resident fees for programs are too low,
RAC developed new fees for summer programming. These fees were approved at the Special
Town Meeting in October. RAC also recommended early notification about upcoming
programming, with the first week of registration be open to Orleans residents only. RAC continues
to ask for all participants to be surveyed at the end of each program.
For summer, RAC recommended additional tennis lessons for all ages, pickle ball clinics, and two
weeks of additional August programming for kids. RAC has also made recommendations for the
fall, winter, and spring including indoor pickle ball, open gym time, and after-school enrichment
classes, as well as enhancements to current offerings like softball clinics and skate park
workshops.
165
RAC is looking forward to the new year. We are dedicated to our charge: to help the Select
Board and the Recreation Department to translate community requests and needs into recreation
programing and opportunities for all ages.

Tracy Murphy
RECREATION DEPARTMENT
The Recreation Department opened 2021 faced with a continuing COVID-19 pandemic that shut

SHELLFISH AND WATERWAYS IMPROVEMENT ADVISORY
COMMITTEE
The responsibility of this Committee is to advise the Select Board on issues concerning the
shellfish and other marine resources of the Town of Orleans, and to provide timely information on
waterways issues as they relate to use by the citizens and visitors to Orleans. It is made up of
citizens who work on or are in close contact with the marine environment. The committee works
closely with the Natural Resources Department whose Director is a member. The many years of
professional experience and dedication to the health of our marine environment by members of
this committee insures the citizens of its efficacy.
The Orleans Shellfish/Waterways Improvement Committee met monthly throughout the year on
TUESDAY evenings either at Town Hall or via Zoom. All meetings presented an agenda within
the specified time limits as per Town requirements. All meetings had a quorum present. Minutes
were recorded by the Clerk. The previous meeting’s minutes were distributed before each
meeting. The Committee hired no outside agencies during 2021. All members from the previous
year were again on the Committee, two as alternates. The Committees Select Board liaison is
Mark Mathison.
The Committee discussed a broad spectrum of waterways and shellfish issues ranging from
safety on and around the water to possession and licensing issues. The White Shark presence
in our waters has been of special concern to the Natural Resources Department. Use of
waterways landing areas continues to be of concern. The Committee has been tasked with
considering options (in progress) to control and improve parking at our landings by the Select
Board. The Lonnie’s Pond nitrogen mitigation project continues to move forward.
Additional analysis and recommendations will be forthcoming in 2022. The Committee advised
the town of dredging needs to the Rock Harbor Channel. The Committee worked to promote the
rebuilding and modernization of the commercial pier at Rock Harbor. Extensive discussion and
recommendations concerning the need to improve education on the use of lawn fertilizers to
lower free nitrogen and phosphorus in our estuaries was undertaken.
This, to the best of my memory, covers the major issues acted upon for this Committee in 2021.
Respectfully submitted,
William Amaru, Chairman

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 2021, 16 Site Plan Review
Committee meetings were held. There were a total of 21 Informal Site Plan Reviews and 8 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.

SNOW LIBRARY
This past year was once again dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic. For the first five months
of 2021 Snow Library closed to the public due to health concerns, providing curbside service
during this period. As in the previous year reference and information services via email and phone
were also available during this “closed” period. The entire staff of the library and its volunteers
were extraordinary in their resilience and efforts to provide as many services as possible during
these difficult times and are to be commended.
Staff: Sadly, library assistant Linda Gordon passed away after thirty-three years of continuous
service. During the year two new library assistants, Cynthia Kadzik and Michelle Koch, were hired
as well as a new Trustees’ Board Secretary, Darcy Herrington.
Building: Due to the installation of one of the Town’s new sewer pumps on the grounds of Snow
Library access and parking to the Library was disrupted during the fall (and continues). This
project provided the opportunity to address some parking deficiencies once the project is over, by
improving handicapped parking access and creating additional parking spaces. A survey of the
roof was conducted and repairs administered to delay replacing it.
Progress on moving forward with a new or renovated library remained stalled. The March 2019
publication of The Snow Library Building Program and Current Facility Conditions,
https://www.snowlibrary.org/about-1/building-our-future, documents the current needs and
shortcomings of the Snow Library facility. At that time, it was found that the current programmatic
needs for Snow Library require an enhanced facility twice the size of the current facility (approx.
32,000 net sq. ft. versus current size of approx. 16,000 net sq. ft.), and that the current facility has
an expected remaining life of approx. 8-10 years assuming normal maintenance.
It was originally hoped that the Library could take advantage of the Massachusetts Board of
Library Commissioners Building Grant Program. However that program has not received any new
rounds of funding, and it is unclear when it might do so. With the Town of Orleans now
169
investigating the town’s need for a community center, and the possible future uses of the Gov.
Prence property, the Trustees remain committed to working with town officials and committee
volunteers to ensure that the role Snow Library currently plays as a community center is
incorporated into future building plans.
Technology: The Friends of Snow Library generously upgraded some of the technology in the
Craine Gallery to facilitate the offering of hybrid classes for their Lifetime Learning Program.
Planning: The Trustees formed a Strategic Planning Committee to develop a new five-year
strategic plan. In December the consulting firm Maverick & Boutique was hired to work with the
committee to develop the plan, which is expected to be completed by summer 2022. A new plan
is a requirement of the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners for continued eligibility for
state aid.
Programs: Library programs offered in person (inside the library) in 2021:
*Author Lee Doty discussed her book Last Casualty
*Author Anders Morley discussed his book This Land of Snow
*Knitting Group every Wednesday night
*Author Marian Carlson Mayflower Mouse book signing
*Live film screening: “Stephano: The True Story of Shakespeare’s Shipwreck”
Library programs offered in person (outside on the library grounds) in 2021:
*Storyteller Rona Leventhal's presentation of the Prince of Pirates and the Witch of Wellfleet
*Snow Library First Tuesday Book Club
*Paint a Flowerpot craft workshop
*Snow Library Summer Reading Ice Cream Party
*Mythical Beasts Scavenger Hunt
*Scott Jameson, Magician and Juggler
*Diana Haemer, poetry reading from her books Sands of Time and Sensing
The Marion Craine Gallery Committee remained closed as a gallery due to the COVID-19
pandemic. It did open in a reduced capacity to allow the Friends of Snow Library to offer courses
during the fall in a hybrid format.
Statistics: Total circulation decreased from 130,329 in 2020 to 107,368 in 2021. The two
contributing factors to this were the continuation of the library's closure to the public for the first
five months of the year due to the pandemic, and the extensive work on the library's grounds and
parking lot that began in September, which, at times, made navigating the various obstacles in
the parking lot difficult and often necessitated parking across the street.
Acknowledgements: The Friends of Snow Library continue to provide generous support for
Snow Library, ranging from funds to purchase library materials in all formats as well programs
and technical improvements to the audiovisual systems in the Marion Craine Gallery. The Friends
also deserve accolades for moving their successful Lifetime Learning Program to a very
successful hybrid model this past fall. We are also grateful to the Town of Orleans and its many
year-round and summer residents who support and treasure Snow Library.
Respectfully submitted,
Steve Gass, Chairperson of Snow Library Board of Trustees

VETERANS’ SERVICE
To the Honorable Select Board and the Citizens of the Town of Orleans:
The following report is of the activities of the Department of Veterans’ Services in 2021. 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 FY2021,
the Town, through our office, extended benefits to qualified Orleans residents totaling $13,296.05
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 include payments for service-connected
disabilities, pensions, education, medical, burial benefits, and assistance obtaining medals and
service records. In 2021 this office assisted in obtaining $1,435,313.16 in cash payments for
service injury compensation and disability pensions received by 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 utilize our new web site to complete an
intake form or obtain direct online services at capevets.org. You can also contact us for an
appointment at our main office in Hyannis at 1-508-778-8740 Monday through Friday from 8:30
AM to 4:30 PM. For the convenience of our Orleans veterans, we also schedule appointments at
our Lower Cape office in Harwich on Wednesday afternoons and Thursdays from 8:30 AM to
4:00PM. The Harwich phone number is 508-430-7510. Please call first if Covid restrictions are in
place.
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
Shawney Carroll, Orleans Service Officer

VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION OF CAPE COD
Established in 1916, the VNA of Cape Cod is one of the oldest not-for-profit organizations on the
Cape. The VNA provides an array of health services from skilled nursing and therapies in the
home to community health programs.
The increased complexity of patient needs upon discharge from the hospital has required VNA
staff to be skilled in complicated, high-tech care. Specially trained teams offer intravenous
therapy, wound care, ostomy care, pain management, care, oncology, palliative and hospice care,
mental health assessments, telemonitoring and maternal and child health. We provide seamless
coordination of care through our advanced technologies.
In addition to the home care services usually associated with the VNA, the Public Health &
Wellness arm provides many additional programs that may take place outside of the home setting.
We specifically offer support for those who may benefit from one-time or routine medical
assistance but may not qualify for or be interested in traditional skilled nursing facilities or
dedicated home health care aides.
Services include:
- Health education
- Community outreach
- Health screenings and immunizations
- Blood pressure clinics
- Maternal and child health nursing
The Orleans Town appropriation enabled the VNACC to provide the following services for
residents of Orleans in FY 2021:
•Communicable Disease Surveillance including TB case management - 15 hrs
•COVID-19 Contact tracing - 26 hrs
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 & SEWER DEPARTMENT
The Orleans Water and Sewer Department is pleased to provide the following report of
happenings for calendar year 2021.
Meetings of the Board of Water and Sewer Commission have been transitioned to a hybrid of
virtual and in-person. Audience participation is encouraged and meetings are generally the third
Wednesday of every month. Directions for accessing meetings are posted on each agenda and
available from the Town’s website.
As recommended in the 20-year Asset Management Plan, the construction to bring the Town’s
largest producing well (Well #7) to the Water Treatment Plant continued and was completed in
March 2021. As a result of the change of water chemistry with the addition of well #7, The
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection has required that the Orleans Water
Department begin sampling from 60 private homes, twice each year. I am happy to report that no
lead levels have been detected above the contaminant limit and in greater than 90% of the
samples no lead was detected at all. Thank you to those residents who have participated.
The Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners addressed the following matters in 2021:
•A 4% basic rate increase and a 4% top tier rate reduction began with the October 1, 2021
water bills but with water restrictions as a result of drought conditions, water revenues were
less than anticipated for 2021.
•The town-wide cellular water meter reading and billing system installation was completed in
2021. The new meter technology will reduce the amount of water wasted due to leaks, provide
better customer service, dramatically reduce manpower required to read meters and has
allowed us to 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. Current participation
in this program is less than expected with only 19% currently signed up. We ask that all
consumers of town water contact the Water Department Office at (508) 255-1200 for
assistance on how to take advantage of this new technology. All it will require is an email
address for leak notifications. You would be surprised at how many “hidden leaks” go
unnoticed. Who wouldn’t want to save our precious resource and save money on their water
bill? In addition, if you have an irrigation system, you can use the program to track how much
watering you are doing and avoid surprisingly high water bill at summers end.
•In June, The Annual Town Meeting voted to fund the Final Design of the Meetinghouse Pond
Area Collection System & Pumping Stations and approved a Sewer Enterprise Fund Budget.
•In October, The Special Town Meeting adopted the Sewer Rules & Regulations Fee
Schedule.
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.

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 18 regular open meetings in 2021, at which a quorum was present. The Board,
following a protocol adopted in August, 2020, continued to use a virtual meeting procedure which
would ensure the integrity of the Board’s proceedings and allow business to be conducted in a
manner equitable to the applicants, interested parties and the public. Hearings were conducted
on a total of 23 applications. Eighteen (18) special permit applications were granted, none were
denied. Two variance requests were filed, one of which was granted. There was one application
for Comprehensive Permit under c.40B, which was granted. Michael P. Marnik continued in office
as Chairman, Lynne Eickholt acted as Vice Chair, and Emily Van Giezen was elected Board Clerk.
Other Board members were Gerald Mulligan, Matthew Cole, Bruce Taub and George Waugh. At
calendar year end, the Board maintains a complement of seven volunteer citizens. Stacy Faber
served as Board Secretary during the year, providing support and organization.

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 2021, the Task Force worked on amendments related to floodplain regulations, uses in the
Rural Business District, and Storage/Warehouse uses. These zoning amendments are under
review and may be presented at the 2022 Annual Town Meeting.
