This Book is Dedicated
To the Memory of
...
Marion I. Chace
-
...
...
-
...
...
...
-
...
Following graduation from Orleans High, Marion entered and graduated from St. Lukes Hospital
... School of Nursing. In 1934, she married her husband, Alan Roderick Chace and they had three
children, Marilyn, Patricia, and Alan.
...
... In 1950, she accepted the position of Orleans Town Nurse, a position she held for nineteen years.
This period turned out to be a pivotal changing concept in how medical care delivery should be
... administered to a community.
... The term "Town Nurse" was an apt one. Most lower Cape towns had at best one or two doctors at
the time, and the Town Nurse was the other half of the coin.
...
... Marion tended to the chronically ill, the newly discharged surgical patient, she gave injections to the
diabetic, and tracked communicable diseases. A new mother bringing home her first child often saw
... "Nurse Chace" there the next morning with her sleeves rolled up, to instruct her in the care and
feeding of her new baby. Insulin shots, B12 shots, bath and bed care to the disabled, were all part
... of her normal day tending to eight to ten patients.
... However, there was another portion of the job description for a Town Nurse which included the words
... "on call, 24 hours". Trips to a Boston Hospital in the middle of the night, husband Alan driving and
Marion tending to the patient.
...
A number of wellness clinics were begun under her direction, including those for polio clinics and
... early childhood immunizations.
...
Marion continued as Town Nurse until 1969 when she tendered her resignation. She thought long
... and hard about this, she was one year shy of a twenty year pension but she felt that the mounting
paperwork being issued and mandated on the state and federal government level took hours away
... from her patient care time.
...
"A nurse first, an administrator second"

..
Quiet and unassuming, Mary dedicated many years to
public service through her participation on Orleans and
Barnstable County Boards and Commissions.
..
...
With great commitment and intelligence enhanced with
generous doses of common sense and humor, Mary's
volunteer service, public and private, encompassed town
government, education, historical preservation, medical
care delivery, concern for senior citizens and the future of
Orleans and the Cape Cod she loved.
..
..
...
...
We honor Mary for her great integrity and for the generous
gifts of her time and talent, and we treasure those things
that she gave for the benefit of Orleans Citizens.

Board of Selectmen and Town Administrator
..
In 2003, the Board of Selectmen, the Town Administrator, and the staff at all levels, continued to
develop a more seamless management approach to Town Government. This concentration on
continuity and working together included the continuation of the Selectmen's "open door policy" to the ..
greatest extent possible at their public meetings.
III
..
With the active participation and community involvement that Orleans enjoys, the Board of Selectmen ..
appointed over forty individuals to committee vacancies over the 2003 calendar year. In fact, Orleans
enjoys the contribution of over two hundred and fifty people serving on more than forty town-related
committees. The Town Administrator and Board of Selectmen also set and achieved many of the
actions they had listed as imperative to their goals for FY04. These included the review of the
Orleans mooring fees, the adoption of the FY05 draft budget policy by October, the approval of the
wind tower pilot project, and continuing work on both the affordable housing issue and wastewater
management plans.
..
...
..
..
The office also experienced both a change in the Selectmen when Ms. Erica Parra's term ended and
Mrs. Margie Fulcher was elected to the Board, and a change in personnel when Ms. Jennifer
Sheehan resigned and Ms. Melissa Arrighi joined us as Assistant Town Administrator.
In addition to the large committee input, Orleans has also had a large turnout at both town meetings
and elections. Below are listed some of the highlights of what has transpired in the governance of
Orleans over the last year.
IIlll

At the 2003 Annual Town Meeting, the following actions were determined:
..
· the Town adopted the Fiscal Year 2004 Town Operating Budget that while resulting in a 6%
increase, included the resources necessary to maintain the quality of the services that we
provide to our residents.
· the Town voted to fund the feasibility study of installing a wind generator in the Town
Watershed. This has led to the installation of the test tower in the town's watershed area
where data is currently being collected for analysis.
· the Town voted to adopt the Inter-municipal Agreement with the towns of Harwich and
Chatham. The updated agreement continues the Pleasant Bay Resource Management
Alliance to update and implement the plan.
· the Town adopted a Home Rule petition to borrow funds for Affordable Housing Projects. We
are still waiting for legislative approval as it is currently under review.
· the Town voted to fund the property purchase at 61 Namequoit Road, aka the Sparrow
Property, for which the town was recently awarded a Self Help Grant from the State.

In October of 2003, Orleans had a Special Town Meeting where the following actions were taken:
..
....
· the Town voted to fund the design of Eldredge Field Music Shell replacement.
. the Town voted to fund the 4th of July celebration for 2004.
· the Town voted to pay for the health insurance for retirees.
· the Town voted to fund the cable television for local programming which will entail the future
hiring of a Media Operations Manager as recommended by the Cable TV and
Telecommunications Advisory Committee.
· the Town voted to fund the renovated town hall design plans.

The Town Administrator and the Board of Selectmen continue to move forward with capital plans.
Over the past year, these have included a major construction project on the corner of Main Street and
Old Colony Way and the construction of sidewalks on West Road. Over the summer, the town did
some emergency repairs, including a mold remediation project, at the Orleans Elementary School. In
addition, they have submitted the final landfill capping plan design to the Department of
Environmental Protection in September of 2003 for review and approval, with construction projected
- to be completed in 2004.
...
...
... Throughout the year and in regards to everything that happens in the management of Orleans,
_ spending and budgeting remain a top priority. With the rising cost of insurance, Orleans participated
in a savings and rewards program through the Massachusetts Interlocallnsurance Agency and was
- able to achieve a substantial savings of over $10,000.
... As we move forward, Orleans will continue to focus on ensuring 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 continue maintaining the services that we presently provide,
... while considering new initiatives that will either answer a need or improve current practices. The
future of Orleans is in our own hands: the hands of our citizens, leaders, and employees, the hands of
... the businesses and people we serve. The Selectmen and Town Administrator wish to emphasize
and thank the many citizens who have provided significant volunteer service to the Town's
... management. Without them, Orleans could not function as well as we do.
- Respectfully submitted,
...

Town Clerk
The year 2003 was quite successful for the Town Clerk's Office. It is becoming well
known that we are passport acceptance agents. The activity with passport applications
continues to increase, bringing additional revenue into the Town. Also, the sales of
shellfish permits, dog licenses, and fish and game licenses are on the rise. Our office
posts the weekly meeting schedule on the Town's website every Friday. This is an
additional service to make it easier for the citizens to be aware of the upcoming
committee, commissions and board meetings. In May, we had our Annual Town Meeting,
a Special Town Meeting, and Town Election. We also held a Special Town Meeting in
October and a Special Election in November.
I would like to thank Town Administrator John Kelly, his assistant Melissa Arrighi, his staff,
the Board of Selectmen, the employees of the Town of Orleans, the Election Workers,
and Board of Registrars for their cooperation and assistance. I would also like to extend
a special thank you to my Assistant, Amy K. Summers, and to the citizens of Orleans.
I retired in January 2004 after nineteen years. It was an honor and a pleasure to work for
the Town of Orleans as Town Clerk.
I hereby submit the following reports:

Planning Board Report on the Orleans Comprehensive Plan
...
I would like to take this opportunity to brief you on the progress the Town has made in
implementing the Orleans Comprehensive Plan.
...
-
Each fall, the Planning Board issues a report on the status of the Comprehensive Plan
recommendations. The report is sent to all departments and committees that have "lead"
responsibilities to implement the various aspects of the plan. Those agencies report back
on their priorities for implementation in the coming fiscal year. The Planning Board then
ranks the activities and forwards the information to the Board of Selectmen to be used as
part of the budget planning process.
-
-
-
-
There are 180 recommendations in the Town Plan. The highest priorities for action in the
upcoming year are:
...
-
· Environmental protection - Efforts to protect groundwater, and surface water
quality are underway. This includes water quality monitoring of our bays, ponds
and lakes, shellfish resource enhancement, and drainage improvements along our
roads.
· Business Corridor planning - The Planning Board conducted a study of the Route
6A business corridor, got input from many residents, and has a working list of
actions to improve the business districts of the town. This includes several zoning
proposals that will be considered later by the Town Meeting.
· Planning for Municipal Needs - A report by the Municipal Needs Study Committee
explains progress in this area.
...
-
-
-
-
-
Transportation improvements - The bike path bridge to Eastham is open for bicyclists.
Street access regulations are being developed to administer the bylaw passed by last
year's Town Meeting. The Planning Board is planning to review the town parking
regulations in the upcoming year.
-
-
...
The Plan contains a number of long-term initiatives that were worked on in FY2003 and
will continue in FY2004. These include the following:

· Protection of Open Space - Since the adoption of the Town Plan, the Open Space
Committee has permanently protected 118 acres of open space This has been
through funding from the Land Bank with continuous support of Town Meeting.
Coupled with the work of the Orleans Conservation Trust and other private efforts,
167 acres have been preserved. The goal is to preserve 400 acres of open space
from development, so we are well on our way toward achieving that goal.
· Wastewater Management Plan - The Town continues to make progress toward the
development of a town-wide plan for wastewater treatment. This summer will mark
the 3rd year of Town-wide water quality testing necessary to complete the scientific
analysis of our waters. We have confirmation that the Town has been included in
the State's Estuaries Project, and will receive matching funds necessary to
complete water quality models for all of our marine waters.
· Village Center Master Plan - The Town has recently secured grant funding from
the County to complete a traffic study of the entire Village Center. We will be
working this summer to look at ways to improve the flow of traffic and maintain a
walkable Main Street. The Planning Board believes that basic infrastructure

planning in the areas of wastewater and transportation are the foundation for a
vibrant Village Center in the future.
Any resident interested in reviewing the status of a particular recommendation may
contact the Planning Department for a copy of the full report.
In conclusion, the Planning Board has taken its role as keeper of the Town Plan to heart.
We have developed a system to track and encourage progress among the various town
departments. Ultimately, many of the goals and actions in the plan can only come to
fruition with the cooperative support of residents and voters.
Thank you,
Alan Conklin, Chairman
Orleans Planning Board

ARTICLE 38. RESOLUTION - PROTECT CIVIL LIBERTIES OF ORLEANS
RESIDENTS (BY PETITION)
To see if the Town will vote to adopt the following Resolution to protect civil liberties of
Orleans residents.
Whereas the citizens of Orleans have a long and distinguished history of defending the
liberties of the Colonies and the Constitution of the United States in 1772 and 1773 (as
the South Precinct of Eastham) protesting British violations of their rights and liberties, in
1776 vowing to "defend [independence] with our lives," later fighting in the Revolution, the
War of 1812 including the Battle of Rock Harbor, the Civil War and Regional and World
Wars and Conflicts, and
Whereas the rights and liberties of the citizens and non-citizen residents of Orleans
protected by the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United
States of America include:
-- Freedom of speech, assembly and aspects of privacy;
-- The rights to counsel and due process in judicial proceedings; and
-- Protection from unreasonable search and seizures; and
Whereas the Constitutional protections of Orleans residents are eroding under provisions
of existing and proposed laws and regulations including the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the
Homeland Security Act, the Patriot Act II, the Total Information Awareness and T.I.P.S
programs and executive orders which authorize or would authorize:
-- detaining Orleans citizens and residents without bringing legal charges, and
denying their right to counsel; and
-- monitoring their telephone, internet and library use, video rentals, book and
grocery purchases, banking and medical records and other activities without
evidence of criminal behavior and without court order; and
-- spying on domestic organizations without evidence of wrongdoing, designating
organizations as "terrorist" without evidence of intent to act against the United
States of America, and deporting Orleans citizens and residents who contribute
to these organizations, even if unaware of the "terrorist" designation; and
-- conducting secret military tribunals without fundamental legal protections for
the accused; and
-- secretly searching the homes of Orleans residents when they are absent; and
-- blocking public access to meetings of government advisory committees and
some public records, and
-- unregulated ethnic profiling of individuals, and
Whereas the United States Attorney General has made threatening statements regarding
legal opposition to these polices; and
Whereas these aforementioned laws, regulations and executive orders are currently
impacting all residents and citizens alike, including those exercising their Constitutional
rights to speak out against local, State or National policy,
- 93 -
It Is Therefore Resolved and the Town Meeting is petitioned to forbid all local and non-
local officials in Orleans, in the absence of probable cause of criminal activity, to the
extent legally permissible:
1. Participating in or cooperating with any inquiry, investigation, surveillance or
detention; and
2. Recording, using and keeping any intelligence information about persons and
organizations in Orleans, including political views and media use, even if
authorized by federal law enforcement officials acting under the cited or allied laws
or executive orders. Intelligence information currently held shall be identified and
disposed of at the direction of the Selectmen.
3. Enforcing immigration matters, and
4. Profiling based on race, ethnicity, citizenship, religion, or political values.
It Is Further Resolved that all Federal, State and County law enforcement officials are
requested, and local law enforcement officials directed, to the extent legally permissible,
to report to the Orleans Board of Selectmen publicly in writing monthly the extent and
manner in which they have acted under the cited and allied laws and executive orders,
including but not limited to:
-- the names of any Orleans residents detained here or elsewhere and non-
residents detained in the area for more than 48 hours as a result of terrorism
investigations, and the circumstances, charges against, and names of
counsel of each detainee;
--the number of search warrants that have been executed in Orleans without
due notice to the subject, and the legal justification for each warrant; and
--the extent of governmental electronic surveillance, monitoring of political,
religious and other activities, and obtaining of education, library, video and
bookstore records in Orleans.
It Is Further Resolved that the Orleans Town Clerk shall communicate this resolution to
all town departments, all Federal, State, and local law enforcement officials, the Governor
of Massachusetts, the President and Attorney General of the Untied States, and the
Massachusetts Congressional Delegation, and to ask that Delegation to act to repeal
provisions of the cited and allied laws and executive orders that violate the protections of
the Massachusetts and United States Constitutions.
It Is Finally Resolved that if any part of these provisions or their applicability is declared
invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that part shall be severable and the remainder
shall remain in full force and effect.
MOTION: To accept and adopt Article #38 as printed in the warrant.

Barnstable County
Assembly of Delegates
The Assembly of Delegates is the legislative branch of Barnstable County. Each town in
Barnstable County is duly represented in the Assembly of Delegates by an elected
Delegate who resides in that town. Delegates are elected for a two-year term which
corresponds to each Session of the Assembly. Delegates elected November 6, 2002 for
the Eighth Session will complete their terms of office on December 31,2004. The towns
of Bourne and Truro elected new Delegates to the Assembly for the Eighth Session
(2003-2004 ).
The Assembly holds regular meetings on the first and third Wednesdays of each month at
4:00 p.m. in the Assembly of Delegates Chamber of the First District Courthouse in
Barnstable. The voting power of each Delegate is weighted, based on the population of
the represented town as documented in the 2000 U.S. Decennial Census. The Delegate
of Barnstable currently holds the most voting power: 21.52%; the Truro Delegate the
least: 0.94%. As your Delegate representing Orleans, I have 2.85% of the total voting
power.
- 1.11. -
The Assembly of Delegates reviewed the $22,071,838 Operating Budget of Barnstable
County for Fiscal Year 2004 as proposed by the Board of County Commissioners and,
with minor amendments, adopted it in May 2003. Fiscal 2004 marks the fifth year in a
row in which the County Tax Assessment of each town, based on aggregate property
valuations, was held at the same rate, In March, in response to the severe fiscal situation
affecting Cape Cod towns largely due to drastic cuts in State aid, and based on a
projected year-end excess of Registry of Deeds revenues, the Assembly voted to return
$1 million of supplemental Fiscal 2003 funds to the towns at that time. The Assembly
subsequently voted the balance of residual year-end funds, $465,000, in separate
supplemental appropriations, primarily to make up for continuing State aid funding cuts
and to provide for improvements in ongoing regional initiatives and services for the
residents and towns of Cape Cod.
The bulk of Assembly of Delegates work takes place in meetings of the six Standing
Committees. Delegates are assigned by the Speaker, currently Delegate Thomas
Bernardo of Chatham, to five of the Standing Committees: Finance, Economic Affairs,
Health and Human Services, Natural Resources, and Public Services. The sixth Standing
Committee, Government Regulations, is composed of the Speaker and the Chairs of the
other Standing Committees. It was a privilege for me to serve as Chair of the Natural
Resources Committee this year. One important task of the Standing Committees is
careful review of proposed Barnstable County Operating and Capital Budgets, including
the Cape Cod Commission and Cape Light Compact budgets, to determine their
effectiveness in providing the regional services embodied in the goals of the Barnstable
County Strategic Plan. Standing Committees research proposed new programs or
projects in their topic area and report findings to the full Assembly. Any regional issues
brought up by Delegates or members of the public which the full Assembly indicates a
desire to investigate are assigned by the Speaker to one or more Standing Committees
for further review and recommendation for disposition.
The Assembly of Delegates web site, updated by the Clerk of the Assembly, can be
accessed at http://www.vsf.cape.com/-aofd/. Information about other aspects of
Barnstable County regional government may be found at http://www.barnstablecountV.orq
or at any of the seven departmental or agency web sites in operation serving Barnstable
County.

Cable TV & Telecommunications Advisory Committee
This was the second year of the Town's ten-year cable services contract with Comcast.
As a result of accelerated cable system upgrade planning and implementation by
Comcast after its 2002 merger with AT&T Broadband, the entire Town was wired for
broadband digital service during the February-April period, significantly enhancing
existing cable television services and providing new high speed Internet access to
residential and business subscribers. The advanced implementation of the Orleans cable
system upgrade --- available more than two years sooner than AT&T Broadband had
planned it --- enabled the Town to be provided early this year with the same level of cable
services offered already to other Cape Cod towns.
The other major development of the year involved planning recommended by the Cable
TV & Telecommunications Advisory Committee, and supported by the Board of
Selectmen, to purchase electronic equipment and hire a "Media Operations Director".
The purpose of this significant recommendation made to the October Special Town
Meeting was to enable planning, activation and management of a new "Orleans
Community Access" (OCA) cable television channel using cable contract funding. The
Committee prepared and presented a text and pictures description explaining the purpose
of OCA, the types of television coverage it would provide exclusively to Orleans
subscribers, and the dedicated funding provided for such capabilities in the cable services
contract. In addition, the Committee developed, for the Board of Selectmen and Town
Administrator, a proposed duties and functions statement for a full-time "Media

a proposed list of electronic equipment needed for OCA operations, including portable
camcorders for videotape coverage of events and meetings outside of town hall. As a
result of STM approval, and for the benefit and enrichment of residents, visitors and
businesses, a portion of available cable contract funds dedicated for PEG (Public,
Educational, Governmental) Access purposes will be expended in 2004 to expand the
existing television components suite; to hire a "Media Operations Director"; and to
commence "Orleans Community Access" television operations.

Cape Cod Commission
The Cape Cod Commission provides regional services and serves as a coordinator of
many projects and activities that affect all of Barnstable County. Activities involve
promotion of affordable housing, demographic and economic data analyses, economic
development programs, geographic mapping and data analyses, historic preservation,
marine and coastal resource protection, preservation of open space and natural
resources, transportation planning and analyses, solid and hazardous waste
management, and water quality and water supply protection.
The Cape Cod Commission is charged with reviewing and regulating Developments of
Regional Impact (DRls) for all fifteen communities of Barnstable County. The
Commission is also charged with recommending designation of Districts of Critical
Planning Concern (DCPCs), which allow communities to protect resources of significant
regional value through special regulatory and planning processes. In addition, the
Commission is charged with preparing and overseeing the implementation of the
Regional Policy Plan, the set of planning policies and objectives that guide development
on Cape Cod.
Representation on the Cape Cod Commission provides the Town of Orleans with
opportunities to participate in setting regional policy and to advocate for the town's
interests in land use planning. Commission membership involves each Cape town in
important regulatory and funding matters at regional, state, and federal levels. Through
the Commission's involvement, many committees and councils contribute to the quality of
life throughout Barnstable County. Some of these groups include the Barnstable County
HOME Consortium Advisory Council, the Barnstable County Wastewater Implementation
Committee, the Bays Legal Fund, the Cape Cod Groundwater Guardian Tem, the Cape
Cod Joint Transportation Committee, the Cape Cod Metropolitan Planning Organization,
the Citizens Advisory Council for the Massachusetts Military Reservation, the
Massachusetts Bay Program, and the Massachusetts Solid Waste and Hazardous Waste
advisory committees.
In Fiscal Year 2003, the Cape Cod Commission provided a wide variety of services to the
entire Barnstable County region, including support for the development, updating, or
implementation of Local Comprehensive Plans; coordination of Barnstable County's
HOME and Soft Second Loan programs; preparation of the annual Comprehensive
Economic Development Strategy for Cape Cod; regulatory review of development of
Regional Impact (DRI) proposals; support for the Cape Cod Transit Task Force;

Cape Cod Regional Technical High School
Cape Cod Regional Technical High School, home of the Cape Cod Tech Crusaders, was
established in 1973 as a public vocational technical high school. Cape Cod Tech enrolls
students from the towns of Barnstable, Brewster, Chatham, Dennis, Eastham, Harwich,
Mashpee, Orleans, Provincetown, Truro, Wellfleet and Yarmouth offering studies in
technical programs for students in grades 9 through 12. This year there were 140
students in the Cape Cod Tech 2003 graduating class with 49% of our graduates
employed in their trade, 34% of our graduates going on to further their education, and the
remaining 17% of graduates working outside of their trade or joining the armed services.
We had a total school enrollment of 664 students with 59% of our students participating in
a cooperative educational experience. We also offer a secondary contingent of adult
education, adult and youth employment programs, and an 8th grade pre-vocational
program.
The New England Association of Schools & Colleges (NEAS&C) sent an accreditation
team for the decennial evaluation of our school in April of 2003 and we proudly announce
that the NEAS&C voted to continue the accreditation of Cape Cod Tech. This
accreditation will last for the next 10 years but there will be a 2-year written review and a
5-year focus visit by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. The report
from the NEAS&C commended us for our school climate, our positive links to the
community, the condition of our school building and grounds, and our initiation of the High
Schools that Work and Senior Project programs. We were asked to look at increasing
non-traditional student enrollments, to review our course structure, and to redesign our
scheduling process.
- 1.1.7 -
Cape Cod Tech continues to implement two related major initiatives entitled Senior
Project and High Schools that Work. The Senior Project was expanded in 2003 to include
all technical programs and will become a graduation requirement for all students with the
class of 2006. Students will follow a structured plan in choosing a project that will relate
to his or her technical field. The High Schools that Work is a whole-school improvement
model funded by a three-year comprehensive school reform grant through the
Massachusetts Department of Education. The goal of this initiative is to raise the
achievement of all students in Reading, Math, Science, and technical shops.
The 2003 MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) showed
improvement over the previous year in both England Language Arts (ELA) and Math.
MCAS English Language Arts (ELA) passing percentages increased 11 % in 2003 over
the results of 2002 and our MCAS Math passing percentages increased 6% for that same
time period.
We have over 800 people attending our Tech Night in April where prospective students
and their parents come to our school to see the programs we offer. Our Annual Advisory
dinner was attended by more than 150 members of local business and industry.
Our Vocational and Industrial Clubs (VICA) of America had 50 students participating in
the VICA District competitions bringing home 20 medals, 36 participating in the VICA
State competitions winning 12 medals, 4 of them gold, with 4 students going onto the
VICA National competitions. Our Future Farmers of America (FF) had 22 students
participating in the FFA State Convention bringing home 10 meals and 4 of our FFA
students will go on to compete in the 2004 National competition.
Our school has participated in a number of community projects and what follows are a
few examples of what our students have accomplished this year. Our carpentry students
took part in completing the Astronomical Observatory project at Dennis-Yarmouth High
School; and our Electrical and Plumbing students continued their work on Habitat for
Humanity projects. Our Auto Collision Technology students repaired and refinished a
Town of Mashpee vehicle and our Cosmetology students participated in a day of beauty
for parents of children with cancer.
We continue to strive for excellence in our student's performance both academically and
technically.

degradation to the town's marine embayments. The Committee also agrees that
continued testing and gathering of data is absolutely necessary in order to understand the
problems. Information pertinent to wastewater management has been made available for
the public at Snow Library.

Cape Cod experienced a very active weather year. We endured many winter storms in
January, February, and March with heavy snow and high winds. An "Emergency
Declaration" was issued for Presidents' Day because of the heavy, wet snow that fell.
Reimbursement for snow plowing was applied for through FEMA. Two hurricanes
threatened in late summer; Fabian went well off the coast and Isabel went to the west of
New England after causing massive damage in the south. Beach erosion was the only
major damage reported following these storms. Credit goes to the many people that take
the warnings seriously and pulled their boats early and secured household items in their
yards. November and December were very windy months. Numerous trees and power
lines were blown down causing travel issues in various parts of town, with no other major
damage reported. A Cape-wide power outage occurred on December 1 st following a fire
at the Canal Plant. The Fire and Police departments were kept busy with various alarms
and calls for service without any major incidents.
The Federal Department of Homeland Security "Terror Alert" status has fluctuated over
the past year. This has little effect on small towns although we continue to evaluate our
vulnerable infrastructure points and services. Being prepared for all types of emergencies
continues to be the focus of emergency management at this time.
The Regional Emergency Planning Committee has achieved "Start-up" certification from
MEMA. Work continues to gain higher certification status on a regional basis. The local
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan has been updated for Orleans and has
been submitted to MEMA. The Town Administrator, Fire, Police, and Health departments
completed a complicated survey for the Department of Public Health and the Emergency
Office of Public Safety in hopes of receiving grant money in the future and members of
the Police and Fire Departments attended the annual MEMA conference.
I would like to thank the members of the Fire/Rescue Department and all of the other
Town Departments for their continued support and assistance in time of emergency.
Respectfully submitted,
Steven P. Edwards, Director
Commission on Disabilities
The Commission on Disabilities has continued its work advocating for the disabled, the
elderly and improving accessibility for all. Our principal focus has been on public
education and providing assistance to members of the Town and Town businesses.
- 1.1.9 -
Accomplishments for the year include:
Meeting with State Senator Rob O'Leary to express concern regarding older driver
training, testing, license renewal and safety issues.
Having the Park Department paint all curbs, step edges, and ramps at the Senior Center
for improved visibility and safety.
Recommendation that all portable restrooms, located at various parks and beaches, be
handicapped accessible.
The Commission would benefit from having additional members so issues of accessibility
for all ages can be effectively addressed. Those interested in working toward a more
accessible community are encouraged to join the Commission and attend meetings, held
every other month.

Conservation Commission
The Conservation Commission implements the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act
and the Orleans Wetland Protection Bylaw. In the Town of Orleans, the Conservation
Commission reviews and approves applications for projects affecting any of the Town's
wetland resource areas and also manages the Town's conservation areas; participates in
collaborative work groups; and promotes public education about natural resource
concerns.
Reviewina and ApprovinQ Wetland Proiects
Any activity that alters a wetland or buffer zone, including filling, construction, renovation,
pruning, removing or planting vegetation, must be filed with the Conservation Commission
prior to initiation. Most wetland resource areas have buffer zones of 100 feet from the
edge of the wetland vegetation or the top of the coastal bank. For minor alterations, such
as brush or tree pruning or small construction projects more than 50 feet from a resource
area, a brief Administrative Review form can be submitted. Larger projects require, at
minimum, notification of abutters within 100 feet of the lot line of the property, a plot plan
with a limit of work, and precise delineation of the wetland boundaries. In 2003, the
Conservation Commission heard and filed 72 Notices of Intent, 11 Amended Orders, 10
Requests for Determination and over 101 Administrative Reviews.
ManaQement of Open Space Areas
The Orleans Conservation Commission is responsible for the management of the Town's
Conservation Areas. Most of these areas, such as Paw Wah Pond, Windmill Park,
Window on the Cove, Sea Call Farm, Baker's Pond, and Meadow on the Cove provide
passive recreational opportunities with trails, scenic views or picnic areas available to the
public. In 2003, the Conservation Commission accepted responsibility for a new 20.31-
acre parcel at 61 Namequoit Road forming a 40.99-acre contiguous conservation parcel
from a right of way across 10 John Kenrick Road to Namequoit Road. In 2003, the

Participation in Work Groups
During 2003, Conservation Commission members and staff participated in numerous
work groups, including Open Space, Wastewater Management, Water Quality Monitoring,
the Pleasant Bay Resource Management Plan Alliance, and the Cape & Islands
Conservation Commission Network in Barnstable.
Promotino Public Education
In 2003, the Conservation Commission members and staff promoted public education by
restructuring, including new drawings and a major rewriting of the Conservation brochures
"A Guide to the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act", "A Guide to the Orleans
Wetlands Bylaw and Regulations" and the cover brochure that contains a pocket for the
other two and serves as a mailer.

Council on Aging
The 2003 year was again progressive, busy and rewarding for the Orleans Council on
Aging. In an attempt to include all ages into service at the Senior Center, we again
received selfless service from local high school students. A new student designed
program "Nauset Seniors" assists The Day Center participants in writing their life history.
New volunteers joined others from last year at the "Common Time" program which was
offered at the Charter Lighthouse School.
In March, B.H.T. (Boston Hospital Transportation) began providing daily service to
Boston. The Board established "Standards of Independence and Behavior" for
participants at the Center. Caregiver's CIRCLE, as well as support groups for Alzheimer
patient caregivers, was established to provide support and suggestions to caregivers.
A new initiative, REACH (Reaching Elders with Additional Community Help) was
designed with the coordination of several agencies. This regional approach will provide
trained volunteers to assist seniors after they have been discharged from the hospital.
The Wellness Facilitator has enhanced the Outreach services of the Department by
assisting seniors in reaching an improved quality of life.
None of these programs, activities and training sessions could ever be accomplished
without the help and support of the FRIENDS of the Orleans Council on Aging. Their
commitment to fund raising this year made possible many of the expanded services.
The direction, commitment, "heart and soul" of the COA is provided by the director. Her
dedication, tireless energy and Herculean effort have proved to be the formula for the
COA's tremendous success. Assisting her are extremely talented and dedicated staff
- 1.21. -
who enthusiastically work together as a team. Office Manager, Cynthia May, advanced ...
her career by becoming the Orleans Town Clerk.
The Council on Aging looks forward to another year of progress and diversity to further
strengthen its commitment to the healthy aging of our maturing community
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph DiBrigida, Chairman
Cultural Council
The Orleans Cultural Council (OCC), a member of the Massachusetts Cultural Council
(MCC) in Boston, continues to support and encourage the cultural activities of the Orleans
community. Working within the guidelines established by the MCC, the OCC received 22
requests for grants, and after a thorough review, granted $3,000 to 12 of these requests.
Awards are made to worthy organizations and individuals that benefit the town of Orleans
residents, from January through December of 2004.
For the Town Hall Gallery 2003-2004 season, we planned the Margaret F. Dole Memorial
juried with cash prizes show, another juried with cash prizes show in May, and our annual
youth Show in March, with 6 open shows. We are now able to award prize money for
juried shows from our collection of entry fees, hoping to get more participation in the Art
Gallery. We have had poor attendance at previous Sunday openings, and these prizes
should revive our attendance. We are also giving the gift certificate from the Cape Cod
Photo & Art Supply for the Artist of the Month, from public polling.
We are an active organization of 9 present members and would look forward to a larger
membership being active in grant awards and the Town Hall Gallery.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles Crozier, Chairman
Finance Committee
In accordance with the Orleans Home Rule Charter, Chapter 8, the Town Moderator
appoints the nine members of the Orleans Finance Committee, making it an independent
Committee. The Committee initiates fiscal reviews needed to advise and make
recommendations to the Town Administrator, Board of Selectmen, and Town Meetings on
all matters having fiscal significance.
In accordance with a Charter specified schedule, we reviewed and held public hearings
on the Operating Budget, Capital Plan and Capital Budget. Further, in accordance with
MGL Chapter 40, Section 6, the Committee authorized transfers of funds to other
departments for extraordinary or unforeseen expenses from the Finance Committee's
$85,000 Reserve Fund, which was approved at May 2002 Annual Town Meeting. We
transferred $65,601 in Fiscal 2003; the major transfers were self insurance, fuel and snow
removal (the latter an historical transfer consistent with MGL regulations).

In preparation for the May 2003 Annual Town Meeting and the October 2003 Special
Town Meeting, we reviewed all articles for fiscal significance. Accordingly, we invited
selected department heads and committee chairpersons to further understand fiscal
issues. We voted on all articles, and provided positions included in the published
Warrants. For our positions voted after the warrants went to press, we prepared "blue
sheets" distributed at the Town Meetings. Feedback suggests that our "blue sheet"
positions were of assistance to Orleans voters.
Our special emphasis for calendar year 2003 included:
. making Finance Committee positions more visible to the voters (Le., at Public
Comment at Board of Selectmen meetings).
. developing understanding of school and non-school alternatives to "business as
usual" budgets.
. working with the four Town's finance committee's to better understand, early in the
planning process, the Nauset Regional School Budget.
. continuing to make more visible and fiscally understood the Capital Improvement
(5 year) Plan, Capital Budget, and Long Range Plan; make more visible the
property tax impact of these plans and budget.

Fire/Rescue Department
The Orleans Fire/Rescue Department had a very active year.
Congratulations are in order for many Department members for their accomplishments
during 2003. FF Timothy Gula graduated from the Mass. Fire Academy Recruit Training
Class in Stow, MA. This is an eleven week course dealing with general academic
classes, vigorous physical training, firefighter skills training involving climbing, lifting, and
carrying various equipment and live firefighting training. FF Gula is the first Orleans
Firefighter to complete this class. Capt. William Quinn Jr. and I received our Associates
Degrees in Fire Science from Cape Cod Community College and FF Robert Felt received
his Bachelor of Science Degree in Fire Science from Anna Maria College. FF Craig
Bodamer resigned from the Department to take a management position with the
Belchertown, MA Emergency Medical Service. He is to be commended for his sixteen
years of dedicated service to the Town. Kevin DeLude was hired to fill that vacancy and
has since successfully completed qualifications to become a paramedic within the Cape &
Islands EMS system. Department members have been appointed to various local and
regional committees and commissions. Capt. Quinn has been working on state guideline
for the certification of fire inspectors and is developing a training program on oil burners.
Capt. Pike and FF Vasconcellos attended many public education training seminars and
worked with our schools, the COA and Visiting Nurses on safety and educational issues.
With FF Deering as the lead CPR instructor, the goal of teaching CPR to 250 persons
was reached by him and his team. I was appointed to the Governor's Task Force on Fire
Safety to look at legislative changes in Mass. Codes following the West Warwick Station
- 1.23 -
Night Club fire. In April I was elected the 2nd Vice President of the Fire Chiefs' Association ...
of Massachusetts.
Training continues to be a major focus of the fire service. Deputy Harris attended a
national EMS conference. Fire and Building Officials have done joint training on assembly
occupancies and flammable decorations in schools. We have participated in Mass
Casualty Disaster Drills in Hyannis and Wellfleet as well as the annual Mock Vehicle
Accident at NRHS during senior week. The entire department participated in a Safe
Emergency Vehicle Driving Course, and many members were trained on pump
operations and firefighting foam by the fire academy.
A $1,100 Student Awareness of Fire Education grant was received. This is used for our
preschool thru fifth grade fire safety education programs. The FF Phil program was again
presented to the Elementary School through the gracious donations of many businesses
in town and an open house was held in October with the help of Papa Ginos with free
pizza and handouts for all.
As our fire station facility is now fifteen years old, much of the infrastructure needs
replacing. We have been working on the heating and air conditioning systems, the
Sheriff's Department was used to paint the trim and seal the exterior bricks this past
spring, and we replaced all of the fluorescent lights through a Cape Light Compact grant.
Apparatus maintenance is a major part of the budget as the trucks age and the trips to the
hospital increase. The 1974 aerial ladder has been completely rebuilt over the past three
years and is in good condition, however, it will need to be replaced within the next five
years. We shared the purchase of a 4X4 A TV Gator with the Park Dept. This vehicle was
set up with a "Med-bed" for transporting injured persons over rugged terrain. It was
stationed at Nauset Beach for the summer and used at major events in town during the
summer.
Fire inspections increased this year as many homes and businesses changed hands and
new construction continued. The remodeling of the Stop and Shop and the relocation of
Orleans Toyota were major projects for us to deal with. New regulations on entertainment
venues and school decorations also added to the fire inspector's duties. A GIS mapping
program has been developed through the assistance of the Planning Department and
MIS Director Peter Van Dyck. We are now able to print out a map showing buildings,
streets, driveways, and hydrants prior to responding to an emergency.
We continue to participate in many regional programs. Department members have
crossed trained with lower Cape towns on a regional dive team, a technical rescue team,
a mass decontamination unit team, and an EMS training committee. Barnstable County's
mutual aid system continues to be a model system in the state.

Fourth of July Committee
Once again, the Fourth of July Committee is pleased to report that the Orleans
Independence Day Celebration for 2003 was very successful. The parade, which started
off from Old Colony Way and Main Street at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, July 4th, had five
bands and over fifty floats entries. The theme for this year's parade was "Stars, Stripes,
and Liberty" and had been submitted by Amber Nelson from the Orleans Elementary
School. This was the result of a contest organized by the Fourth of July Committee and
open to all the students at the Elementary School. Amber and the two runners-up, John
Henry Ecker and Heather Rosato, rode in the Orleans hook and ladder fire truck in the
parade on July 4th as their prize. The Grand Marshals for the 2003 parade were Maj.
Michael Cousins, Sgt. John Durkee, and Sgt. Gregory Murano, all of whom had served
with the 104 Fighter Wing Air National Guard in Iraq during "Iraqi Freedom". Parade
winner of the Fritz Haubner Memorial Cup was the float by Marvin Gardens. The
fireworks display by Atlas PyroVision Productions on Saturday evening, July 5th, was
again set off from the beach at Rock Harbor and was well attended on both the Orleans
and Eastham sides of the harbor.
The Fourth of July Committee reorganized at their September 11th meeting. With voter
approval to fund "up to $15,000.00 of the 2004 celebration" at the 2003 Special Town
Meeting on October 27th, the committee is hard at work, preparing for the upcoming
Independence Day Celebration 2004. Bands from the previous year have been
contacted, and Atlas PyroVision Productions has been awarded the contract for our
fireworks, which will be held at Rock Harbor on Saturday, July 3rd, 2004, with a rain date
of July 5th. The Committee will again hold a contest in February at the Orleans
Elementary School to determine the theme for the 2004 parade, which will be held on
Saturday morning, July 3rd.

HarbormasterlShellfish Department
BoatinQ
It should come as no surprise that boating activity in Orleans remained at a high level in
the 2003 season. Our staff patrolled Pleasant Bay and Nauset Harbor on a daily basis
and responded to one hundred forty one calls between May 1 and October 1, 2003.
Maintenance of town landings, boat-launching ramps, town piers and docks was on-going
throughout the season. Of the improvements made to our coastal facilities during 2003,
the most significant were the following: repair of the boat launching ramps at Cove Road
landing and Goose Hummock landing.
With regard to moorings in Orleans, there are currently 1,325 public moorings permitted
and a total of 431 individuals on the mooring and dockage waiting lists. Presently, we
estimate the average wait time for a mooring to be ten to twelve years.
Shellfish
In 2003, the Department issued 198 commercial shellfish permits. Soft-shell clams and
quahogs in both Nauset and Pleasant Bay and razor clams in Pleasant Bay constituted

the majority of the catch for the year. Bay scallops were harvested from Cape Cod Bay
only. Catch report data for 2003 will be contained within the 2004 Annual Report.
Proiects
The Harbormaster/Shellfish Department coordinated numerous projects during 2003. Of
significant import was our quahog propagation program that resulted in the planting of
over 1,700,000 seed quahogs in Orleans waters. In addition, the Department continued
its work on the maintenance of the herring runs located at Pilgrim Lake and Cedar Pond.
I would like to express my sincerest thanks to those residents and town employees who
so greatly assisted us during 2003. Specifically, I would like to thank Parks & Beaches
Superintendent Paul Fulcher, Fire Chief Steve Edwards, and Highway Superintendent
Robert Bersin for their constant help and support in our efforts to keep the shoreline and
waterways of Orleans safe and sound and my staff and I offer a special thanks to the
Cookie Fairy, Jane Adams, for her generous deliveries. I would also like to thank the
members of the Shellfish and Waterways Advisory Committee and specifically Chairman
Don Bakker for his dedicated efforts at preserving the marine resources of the town. I
wish to express my gratitude to deputies Mike Schneider, Samuel Smith and Kyle Smith
and my assistants, Gardner Jamieson and Andrew Young, for their hard work and overall
commendable performance in their respective positions.

Board of Health
In 2003, the Cape Cod Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) administered 901 doses of flu
vaccine and 15 doses of pneumonia vaccine at the Board of Health sponsored clinics. The
targeted population was the elderly (ages 65 and older), chronically ill and emergency/first
response personnel. Special thanks to Elizabeth Smith, Executive Director of the Orleans
Council on Aging, and her staff for assistance with the clinics.
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 towns twelve
public bathing beaches. Of the 156 samples analyzed, six samples exceeded the
bacteriological limits for bathing beaches, resulting in each site being closed to swimming for
one day.
The Board of Health continued its participation in the Massachusetts Department of Public
Health's West Nile virus screening program and in August of 2003, the town had its first
positive report of a bird with West Nile virus. West Nile virus can cause illness which in a
small percentage of the people infected can be serious or even fatal. West Nile virus grows
in birds and is transmitted from bird to humans by mosquitoes. The best way to protect
yourself from becoming infected is to keep mosquitoes from biting you. Individuals can
protect themselves by avoiding outdoor activities between dusk and dawn if possible. If you
must be outdoors while mosquitoes are active, wear a long sleeved shirt, long pants and
use mosquito repellent. Another preventative measure residents can take is to eliminate
puddles and other standing water on or around their property. Mosquitoes will breed in any
standing water which is present for more than four days.
The Board of Health also conducted a complete review and revision of its Subsurface
Sewage Disposal Regulations. These regulations were adopted on December 18, 2003 and
are in effect beginning February 23, 2004. The key aspects of the regulations are as
follows:
- Failure of cesspools identified during an inspection for the sale of property, a
change in use or for a building permit application resulting in a project that would
increase the sewage flow, increase the square footage of a facility or change the
footprint of a facility.
-Failure of any soil absorption system lacking a minimum two foot separation
between the bottom of the system and the maximum groundwater elevation.
-A statement of condition placed on each Disposal System Construction Permit
issued by the Board of Health requiring the septic system to come into full
compliance with the requirements of the Orleans Wastewater Management Plan
within 24 months of notification, and a requirement for this condition to be recorded
by the owner of the property at the Registry of Deeds.

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, to be conducted in a timely and thorough manner, will assist with the work-load of
the health department.
The Board of Health was represented on the Water Advisory Board, Solid Waste Advisory
Committee, Cape Cod Regional Tobacco Control Council, Water Quality Task Force,
Wastewater Management Steering Committee, Site Plan Review Committee, and Pleasant
Bay Resource Management Plan Technical Resource Committee. The board also
administers the town's contract with the Cape Cod VNA, which provides public health
nursing services to Orleans residents.
Responsibilities of the Health Department staff include: the inspection and regulation of all
permits issued by the Board of Health, response to and investigation of all complaints
pertinent to public health, housing inspections, involvement in the town's emergency
response plan, administration of underground storage tank regulations, filing and

Highway Department, Tree Department and Transfer Station
This year proved to be another busy one for the Highway Department, Tree Department,
and Transfer Station. Construction activity in the area again continued at an elevated
level and all Town Departments, including the Highway Department, Tree Department,
and Transfer Station, recognize the increased activity in town. Demand for services
increased without significant increases in budgets or labor. Construction activity in the
area included new homes, modification of older homes, various commercial
developments, NStar (Keyspan) gas main extensions, and Massachusetts Highway
Department Rail Trail work. In addition to the construction activity, this Department was
also involved in securing permits and addressing final details for the Main Street Traffic
Improvements Project, the Skaket Corner Intersection Reconstruction and Sidewalk
Design Plans For West Road.
Major projects managed by these departments included the following:
· The Department continued to identify and prioritize capital type projects along Town
roads. Drainage projects were implemented, improvements to major intersection were
coordinated, and regular preventative maintenance work was completed along town
roadways. The following are the more significant projects undertaken by the
Department.
1. The Department continued efforts to identify direct discharges into embayments
and estuaries and to then coordinate the design of treatment facilities. This
ongoing effort includes water sampling and analysis, preparation of final design
plans, specifications, environmental permitting, construction bidding, and
construction oversight. Funding is limited for many of these projects and
sources of funds used to complete these projects are obtained from various
State and Federal Grant Programs (CZM, Chapter 319), the Highway
Department Budget, and Chapter 90 Funds.
2. Other drainage improvements were designed and installed on Winslow Drive
and Lowell Drive. These improvements were made to address drainage

3. A project of major interest to the Town over the past few years has been the
Rail Trail Bike Bridge over Rock Harbor Road and Route 6. The bridge project
was originally discussed by the town over ten years ago and all issues relating
to the construction of the structure were finalized in 2001 and construction was
started in 2002. The Bridge, Rail Trail Extension to Orleans Center, grading,
and other ancillary work was completed prior to Labor Day 2003. The bridge
and trail extension were open for the summer and the bicycle traffic along Rock
Harbor Road was significantly reduced. The construction portion of this project
was fully funded through the Massachusetts Highway Department (MHD) and
no Town funds were required for the work.
Many members of the community contributed to the effort to get this project
designed, approved, funded and ultimately constructed. There are too many to
name and some would undoubtedly be overlooked. These community
volunteers, business owners', and other members of the community know who
they are and this department thanks them for their assistance and input.
4. Route 28/Finlay Road/Pond Road - This project was endorsed at the 1999
Town Meeting and includes the relocation of Finlay Road at Route 28. At this
writing, we are still awaiting comments from the Massachusetts Highway
Department (MHD). Additional Public Hearings will be scheduled prior to
further design changes. The project limits were extended this year to include
drainage improvements along Route 28. The intent is to collect and treat
stormwater along Route 28 prior to discharge into Crystal Lake. Funding for
the project is shown in the current Capital Improvement Plan in FY 07, but MHD
has also indicated a willingness to fund the work. Both avenues will be pursued
for project funding.
. The Crack Fill and Infrared Preventative Maintenance Program continued along
several roadways. Some of the treated roadways include Bay Ridge Lane, Oak Ridge
Lane, Gilman Road, Twiss Road, Briar Springs Road, Fox Ridge Road, Pleasant View
Road, Dale Anne Drive, Shoreview Road, Uncle Harvey Lane, Champlain Road, Holly
Lane, Deerwood Lane, Hinkle Lane, Bakers Pond Road, and Mill Lane.
· The Department continued to update the roadway inventory that is the basis for
Chapter 90 Funding. The Massachusetts Highway Department administers Chapter
90 Funding, and the program provides funding to cities and towns for the maintenance
of municipal roadways. As the funding is only available for town roads with a properly
recorded layout, it is to our advantage to update this inventory. It should be noted
that, at this writing, the state funding for Chapter 90 continues to diminish. Gasoline
taxes are the source of the funding for this program and, as stated above, the funds
are allocated in an effort to assist cities and towns maintain local roads. Orleans has
scene a reduction in annual funding from $245,000 to $150,000 over the past few
years.
. Solid Waste Disposal will continue to be an important issue in town as well as the
region. State mandated recycling, reduced demand for raw recyclables, reduced
demand of materials with recycled content, limited disposal sites and dwindling
capacities of approved disposal sites in Massachusetts are some of the factors facing
the town. Increased costs for waste transport and disposal will require close attention
to Solid Waste issues in the future. Although the support of Town residents in the
recycling effort was appreciated, the department is still convinced that the volume of
recycled materials can be increased. With the assistance of residents, approximately
- 1.31. -
38% of the solid wastes that passed through the station were recycled. This level is
7% points above last year's effort. Our recycling effort should be increased as DEP
has implemented additional waste bans and the costs of disposal are anticipated to
increase.
. Solid wastes generated by the Town that passed through the Station are as follows:
1. Municipal Solid Waste
2. Construction and Demolition Debris

Recycled Materials:
1. Metals
2. White Goods

continued to collect waste oil (2,500 gallons), used oil filters (6 Tons), gasoline (566
gallons), and anti freeze (330 gallons) on a regular basis. The staff of the Transfer
Station is available to discuss any questions or comments concerning Solid Waste
issues.
. Revenues generated at the Transfer Station are as follows:
Sticker Sale Revenues (Est.) $223,500
Tipping Fees Revenues $161,662
Recycling Revenues (Est.) ~
Total $390,162
. Tree Warden Dan Connolly had another busy and successful year in the Tree
Department. NST AR Electric continued the trimming of overgrown circuits in various
sections of Town. Tree replacement donations were also negotiated with NSTAR in
an effort to replace some of the tree removals in these areas. Much of this work

required Planning Board Approval under our Scenic Road By-Law, and Dan provided
technical advice to the Board and represented the Town's interest as the work was
completed.
· Through the tree replacements mentioned above, State and Federal Grants,
donations, and departmental purchases, we were able to plant approximately 125
trees in various locations throughout town. The planting effort includes appropriate
site/species determination, site preparation, planting, watering, and fertilization.
Watering and fertilization efforts continue for approximately for three years after plant
placement. It should be noted that Dan has worked closely with the Orleans
Improvement Association (OIA). The OIA has been very helpful and generous in
assisting with the planting effort and this department appreciates their efforts.
· The Tree Department received a Mass ReLeaf Grant for plantings along Tonset Road.
A variety of appropriate species were planted along a section of T onset Road that had
been trimmed by NStar Electric. This year also marked the fifth year in a row that the
Town, through the efforts of the Tree Department, received the Tree City designation
by the National Arbor Day Foundation.
· The Department continued to work on the roadside cutback program. The pruning
and the removal of trees and shrubs from the traveled way will continue with the intent
of the program being to make the roadways safer for the traveling public. In many
locations, the roadside cutback program replaced undesirable invasive species with
appropriate indigenous species. During this past Fiscal Year, work was completed
along Monument Road, Clayton Circle, Route 28, Hopkins Lane, and Eldredge Park
Way.
· The Department also acted as contact for coordination with the Americorps Volunteer
Program. Americorps Volunteers assisted the department in clean up of Sea Call
Farm, sections of the Cape Cod Rail Trail, the Christian Property, and several
properties owned by the Orleans Conservation Trust. The department has acted as
the point of contact with the Americorps Group and we intend to continue the use of
their services.
· The Department is responsible for Snow and Ice Removal Operations for the Town.
The winter of 02/03 required response to 28 separate snow/ice events. We appreciate
· The Department continued to provide repair and maintenance services to the towns
vehicular and heavy equipment fleet. This involves over 50 vehicles and pieces of
heavy equipment, construction tools, various hand tools, and occasional maintenance
and repair services to the Parks, Fire, and Water Departments.
· The Department acts as the Town's representative on the Cape Cod Joint
Transportation Committee and the Organization of SEMASS Communities. We also
serve on the Site Plan Review Committee, the Parking and Traffic Study Committee,
Ad Hoc Solid Waste Committee and provide technical assistance to the Water Quality
Task Force, the Board of Health, Invasive Species Committee, and the Planning
Board.
I would like to extend my thanks to the personnel in all other Town Departments and the
many Volunteer Committees for their assistance and cooperation during the year.
Special thanks go to staff at the Highway Department, Tree Department, and Transfer
Station for their hard work and dedication.

Historical Commission
The Commission mourned the death of Mary Wilcox, a former member of this
Commission and a former Selectmen. In response to the urging of the Massachusetts
Historical Commission, and in keeping with the recommendations in the Orleans Long
Range Comprehensive Plan, the concept of a National Register Historical District on Main
Street from the Barley Neck Inn to the Methodist Church at Route 28 is being revisited.
A mailing to all residents of the proposed District was followed by a public meeting May
19, 2003 which was attended by Philip Bergen of the Massachusetts Historical
Commission and Sarah Korjeff, Preservation Planner of the Cape Cod Commission, who
outlined the functions and purpose of a National Register Historic District. Such a District
requires no Town Meeting approval, does not include a regulatory Commission for routine
changes and requires intervention by the Cape Cod Commission in consultation with the
Orleans Historical Commission only if a change in a designated property exceeds 25% of
the structure.
After this meeting, some residents wrote letters in opposition to the Massachusetts
Historical Commission. Following a meeting with the Board of Selectmen on July 21st, the
Commission agreed to defer further consideration of the proposed District until after the
October 27th Special Town Meeting. At a November meeting, attending Selectman John
Hinckley, Jr., proposed a new ad hoc Historic District Study Committee to consist of
members of this Commission, together with residents of the proposed District, to study
both the proposed National Register District and a conventional Historic District, which
had previously failed at a 1996 Town Meeting.

There were ten applications under Chapter 106 of the Demolition of Historic Structures
Bylaw. The most notable was the application to demolish the 1776 house at 58 ..
Champlain Road, for which the six month delay was invoked.
"The Cape Codder" ran two stories, one at the beginning, the other at the end of the six
month delay. These elicited over 40 inquiries, none of which were successful largely
because of the low inventory of suitable building lots and their relatively high prices.
On a happier note, the barn at 131 Main Street was moved to 80 Main Street.
Consideration is being given to proposing a 12 Month Delay similar to what Chatham
recently voted. Patricia Crow submitted an application to place Sea Call Farm on the
National Register of Historic Places.
It was moved and voted May 5th to declare the present Town Hall an historic building.
Under the guidelines of the Massachusetts Historical Commission, this designation can

Charles H. Thomsen, Chair
Orleans Housing Authority & Orleans Housing Task Force
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 three state-funded Alternative Housing Rental Vouchers
(AHVP) which provide rental assistance to people with disabilities and two state-
funded Massachusetts Rental Vouchers (MRVP) which provide 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.
The OHA works with the Joint Committee on Affordable Housing, to locate and
develop affordable housing for either rental or ownership. Due to be built in 2004
are three affordable condominium units which will be located at Finlay Road and
Route 28. The OHA continues to explore housing opportunities as they arise and
also makes available its expertise in managing properties.
This year saw the retirement of long time Board member Jacqueline Philbrick who
devoted many years to our efforts to develop and maintain affordable housing in
Orleans. Not only did she serve on the Board in a variety of capacities, but she
also gave of her time and creative talents to help fund raise for Canal House and
continues to do so with the "Friends of Affordable Housing." Her presence will be
missed. Thanks also go to Board member Joan Wehrell who stepped down to
pursue other activities.
Finally, the Commissioners wish to acknowledge the efforts of Executive Director
Tim Buhler, Associate Director Allison Thomas, Maintenance Supervisor Jay
Gingras and Maintenance Assistant AI Fearnly for their hard work throughout the
year. We also recognize the excellent attention to residents needs provided by
Michael Dickson, President of the Tenants Organizations.

Invasive Species Committee
During the first half of 2003, Julie Snorek, our Americorp volunteer, continued the
Committee's inventory of invasive species on town owned properties. Using GPS, she
compiled the results in a book of detailed maps which should help Orleans greatly in
managing its invasive plants. Julie was invited to present the Orleans project at a
regional symposium on invasives held by the new England Wild Flower Society in
September and reported great interest since apparently Orleans is the first to undertake
such a town wide inventory.
In the fall, the Committee again successfully applied to Americorp for another volunteer to
complete the process which Julie had begun. Nathan Crane joined us in October. He is
now working, under the supervision of Vince Ollivier, to complete the inventory, covering
town roadsides, the watershed, and lands newly acquired by the town.
Education, an important part of the Committee's charge, continued on several fronts.
Anne Donaldson, assisted by Seth Wilkinson, wrote a series of articles on individual
invasive plants, their origin, favored habitat, and methods of control which was illustrated
and run by the Cape Codder every other week during late spring to early fall. We hope
to be able to continue the series this year.
Keith Brunell and Seth Wilkinson have compiled a convenient Control Table containing
suggested individual control measures for about 20 invasive plants Le. whether to control
by cutting or digging or pruning to prevent seed formation, whether herbicides are suitable
and noting the appropriate times of year for each control measure. We hope to distribute
this to the public in early spring.
Committee member, Karen O'Connor, took a display table at the Barnstable Earth Day
celebration. Seth Wilkinson and Karen had a presentation at the September Orleans
Sustainability Fair. Anne Donaldson and Vince Ollivier spoke on invasives in the Life
Time Learning course on gardening at the Library.
To encourage slowing the sale of invasives, the Committee has contacted our major local
suppliers, Snows, Agway, Friends and Crocker Nurseries and has provided them with the
official Massachusetts list of invasives and information on alternative non-invasive plants.
We have suggested they could stop the sale of invasives and offer instead alternative
non-invasive plants of similar color, shape, etc. We are grateful for their favorable
response and hope it will be adopted by other nurseries and landscapers.
In response to our Committee's charge that we "investigate potential local regulations
regarding invasive species consistent with the Barnstable County Regional Policy Plan
and/or the Orleans Local Comprehensive Plan", we have developed recommendations for
revisions and additions to the Orleans Conservation Commission regulations with regard
to the control and management of invasives. These recommendations, after final
adoption by this Committee, will be submitted to the Commission, and by them, if they
approve, for a public hearing.

Joint Committee on Affordable Housing
The Joint Committee on Affordable Housing is charged with the task of coordinating the
Town's efforts to locate and develop affordable housing. This is done by work with all
available state and local agencies necessary to complete a project. The Committee
consists of members appointed to the Affordable Housing Task Force by the Board of
Selectmen and the elected members of the Housing Authority. We are ably assisted by
the Director of Planning & Community Development and the Executive Director of the
Orleans Housing Authority.
This year the Joint Committee submitted an Affordable Housing Strategy Plan to the
Board of Selectmen. Work has also continued toward the completion of the development
of three affordable condominium units located on the corner of Finlay Road and Route 28.
Recommendations for a grant administrator and a contractor were submitted to the Town
Administrator. Construction should begin in the Spring of 2004. We have also been
working with HAC (Housing Assistance Corporation) on the construction of a twelve room
Single Room Occupancy facility off Rte. 6A near the Brewster town line.
On behalf of the Committee members I would like to take this opportunity to thank Bruce
Pelton who stepped down as chairman of the Joint Committee the past year. Bruce's
unwavering commitment to the cause of affordable housing has made our town a better
place.
Each year the development of affordable housing in Orleans becomes more difficult as
developable land becomes unavailable while the cost of houses and land continues to
rise. We will maintain our efforts to pursue every avenue in our effort to make Orleans a
community that is both economically and culturally diverse.
Respectfully submitted,
James A. Birdsall, Chairman
Marine and Freshwater Quality Task Force
Members of the WQTF and their associated citizen volunteers continued water quality
monitoring efforts in Orleans marine embayments and freshwater lakes and ponds.
These efforts include the Nutrient project which began in 1997 (now part of the
collaborative Pleasant Bay Resource Management Alliance monitoring efforts by
Chatham, Orleans, and Harwich), and the Orleans Volunteer Freshwater Lake and Pond
Monitoring Program (collection of baseline nutrient and other water quality data), which
was initiated in 2000. The Remediation Project (coliform bacteria sampling at selected
road runoff sites) which was initiated in 1998, was temporarily halted this year in order to
review the program to determine what monitoring efforts will be appropriate in the future.
- 1.37 -
The latest interim report (Fall 2003) for the Nutrient Project shows that the water quality of
the Orleans salt water ponds in the upper reaches of Pleasant Bay (Meetinghouse, Arey's
Kescayogansett and Paw Wah) are in the "poor" category according to the Buzzards Bay
Water Quality Index, having low dissolved oxygen levels or high nutrients (or both) during
the summer monitoring season. The most probable cause of declining water quality is
the continued higher nutrient loading (nitrogen) throughout each pond's watershed. The
primary sources of nutrients entering these systems are from septic systems, lawn
fertilizers, and road runoff.
The Orleans Volunteer Freshwater Lake and Pond Monitoring Project has continued to
expand, due to the technical and analytical lab support provided since 2001 by the Cape
Cod National Seashore's (CCNS) lab in Truro. The CCNS support is made possible by
grants they received from the Community Foundation of Cape Cod and Massachusetts
Coastal Zone Management. The estimated monetary value of the CCNS support to our
freshwater volunteer monitoring program to date represents around $60,000.00. This
year over 1100 samples for dissolved nutrients and total nitrogen/total phosphorus were
collected for analyses at various predetermined depths by volunteers. Over 1000 field
measurements (dissolved oxygen, temperature, and Secchi disc/water clarity) were taken
at 18 Orleans freshwater lakes and ponds and they show at least some signs of declining
nutrient water quality (decreased water clarity, low dissolved oxygen, or elevated
nutrients), with the highest nutrient concentrations continuing to be found at Cedar and
Boland Ponds. The WQTF continued to assist our sister towns of Brewster and Eastham
with their own new volunteer monitoring programs. WQTF members and associated
citizen volunteers also continued to support and/or participate in other environmental
monitoring efforts such as the Orleans Three Embayment Study (YR-3), and the Cape
Cod Commission/SMAST Pond and Lake Stewards PALS (YR-3) Program.

Judith Scanlon, Chairperson
Municipal Properties/School Road Study Committee
The May 2001 Annual Town Meeting authorized funds for a study of the recently
purchased American Legion Property and the present Town Office property and building
to determine how they could be utilized to provide adequate, up-to-date Town Hall
facilities for the next 30-50 years.
During the ensuing 18 months, the Committee was formed and engaged an architectural
consultant who studied alternatives. At first, a report was prepared which analyzed the
condition of the existing Town Office Building. In addition, our consultant, with input from
the Committee, developed options for the properties. From these options the Committee
selected three alternatives with schematic building sketches for the purpose of developing
detailed cost estimates for each option.
Three options became two options since the Committee felt either option for a Town Hall
should be physically located on one property or the other and would prove less costly.
The two options became either a new Town Hall on the American Legion property or a
complete renovation of the existing Town Offices Building with a 4,000 square foot
addition.

The two preferred options were presented to the public at two town-sponsored meetings
as well as presentations sponsored by the Orleans Forum. The Committee was divided
on support with 6 members favoring a new Town Hall on the American Legion property
and 3 members favoring complete renovation and addition on the existing Town Hall
property.
These two options were brought to a November Special Town Meeting at which time
detailed presentations were made. Although the New Town Hall garnered a majority
support, it did not receive the required two-thirds vote. Subsequently the Meeting
supported and voted in favor of fully renovating the existing Town Hall with an addition.
The Chairman thanks the Committee and all those who supported the various efforts and
wishes well a new Building Committee to develop a fully remodeled and renovated Town
Hall at the School Road location.

Nauset Regional School Committee
Academic achievement and improved communications with parents, the public and town
officials in the face of dramatic cutbacks in state funding were top priorities this past year
for the Nauset Regional School Committee, which was grateful for town meeting
approvals of its Middle School and High School budgets and the overrides necessary to
maintain quality education in the Nauset schools.
Nauset Reaional Hiah School. with a record student population of 1,095. made
some impressive Qains:
· Every student who tested as a sophomore in the MCAS exams graduated under
the state's new graduation criteria
· Nauset S.A.T. scores improved an average of 11 points, and more students than
ever took Advanced Placement tests
· Several Nauset athletes, musicians and vocalists won All State honors, and the
soccer team had an outstanding season and state tournament
· Nauset's Teen Court program became a model for the state, and the Drop-Out
Prevention (Access) program continues to excel
· The school's Foreign Exchange program this past year represented four countries
Middle School accomplishments were eaually notable:
· Four Middle School teachers were recognized as National Board certified: John
Krenik in art; Linda Johnson in Science; school psychologist Kathleen Gatto; and
nurse Jill Stewart
· Middle School students continued to improve on state-mandated MCAS tests, with
97 percent receiving a passing grade in Grade 7 ELA, 94 percent in Grade 8
science, 91 percent in Grade 8 math, and 88 percent in Grade 6 math.
· Students continued their exemplary efforts in community service, with clothes, food
and gift drives for needy families, volunteer work at the Brewster Fire Museum,
erosion control work at Nauset Beach, volunteer work at area nursing homes, a
- 1.39 -
towel drive for the Animal Rescue League, work on a school beautification project, ...
and a drive to send cards and letters to soldiers overseas.
The Nauset Regional School Committee is pleased with continuing progress at the Middle

Open Space/land Bank Committee
Over 43 acres of open space were protected permanently in 2003 by a Land Bank
acquisition of 20.31 acres unanimously approved at the May Annual Meeting and four
conservation restrictions on 23.17 acres approved by the Selectmen. The Committee
initiated and received inquiries about several other parcels and continues to review a few.
land Bank Acquisition
Article 37. Sparrow - In fee for $2,200,000 - 20.31 acres, for conservation, open space and
passive recreation, located at 61 Namequoit Road. The parcel abuts two earlier Land Bank
purchases of 20.68 acres approved by the 2002 Annual Meeting, creating a 41 acre nature
preserve for habitat protection and passive recreation east of South Orleans Road, between
Namequoit and John Kenrick Roads. An application for a Self-Help Grant was filed in
August with the State's Department of Conservation Services. In early 2004, a Grant of
$134,180 was awarded. This was one of only ten such grants awarded for the year by the
State.
land Bank at 5 Years
The Cape Cod Land Bank was approved by Orleans voters in November 1999,
authorizing a 3% surtax on real estate taxes for 20 years. Since then Town Meeting has
approved 8 recommendations for the acquisition of 13 parcels of approximately 104.36
acres. An additional two parcels of 13.84 acres were also protected due to these Town
actions, resulting in a total 118 acres preserved by the Land Bank. The total land cost of
$6,723,952 was offset by State matching funds for the first three years, Self-Help, DEM
and County grants, reducing the total net surtax cost to $5,916,316.
All acquisitions were in fee except a conservation restriction on 17+ acres at Skaket with
beach walking rights to complete the "Sea Path" to Namskaket. Two major acquisitions
(36+) acres protect existing and future well sites. These are under the jurisdiction of the
Water Department. Two other parcels (20+ acres) are within the Zone 2 area of
contribution. These four purchases account for over half of all expenditures. Four
acquisitions (49 acres, including the two Zone 2) were specifically for conservation

purposes. While all acquisitions protect habitat, wildlife corridors and provide passive
recreation opportunities, the six major purchases (85 acres) in South Orleans also
contribute to protecting the health of the Pleasant Bay watershed and to reducing future
traffic load on a hazardous section of Route 28. The eighth purchase (2.4 acres) on Town
Cove opens the view of the Cove and provides new green space in the Village Center.
The Land Bank enabled the Committee to focus on several of the remaining top priorities
set by the first Open Space Committee in 1986 and to initiate discussions on significant,
large areas of open land. Approximately $530,000 of bonding authority remains in the
Land Bank. Future land preservation efforts will require new focus, effort and support both
publicly and privately.
Conservation Restrictions
In November, the Selectmen approved, on the recommendation of the Conservation
Restriction Review Committee, four restrictions preserving 23.17 acres. The Orleans
Conservation Trust is the grantee of the CR's and was the primary advisor to the
grantors. A CR is a legal agreement between a landowner, as grantor, and an eligible
grantee, such as the Trust or the Town to limit the use of the land in order to retain it in its
natural, scenic or open condition. These CR's protected mainly wooded upland, coastal
habitat and areas within the Pleasant Bay ACEC. A major CR was the conversion of a
prior 30 year term restriction to a permanent CR on 16 acres. In 2002 the Selectmen
adopted the Committee's recommendation to discourage term restrictions in favor of
restrictions in perpetuity. The Committee is very encouraged by the increased CR activity
of the past two years in which 10 CR's covering 37+ acres were approved. These results
are due primarily to the efforts of the Orleans Conservation Trust. A CR allows the owner
to maintain ownership, pass it on to his heirs, or sell it with the restricted deed remaining
with the land. The Town benefits from incurring no capital or land maintenance costs to
protect such land.
Comprehensive Plan Implementation
The Orleans Comprehensive Plan charges the Committee with the primary task of helping
to preserve 400 or more acres "using Land Bank and (Town) budget appropriated
funding, plus private funding." Since the formulation of this objective in 1999 almost 184
acres have been protected permanently, 46% of the Plan's 20 year goal. As the Land
Bank's future bonding authority is almost depleted, land costs escalate and grant money
becomes more tight, conservation restrictions and private donations of land will become
critically important to attaining the 400 acre goal. New initiatives and greater efforts will be
required for the further protection of land in Orleans.

Orleans Elementary School
Orleans Elementary School, a recipient of the 2001 Compass School Award by the
Massachusetts Department of Education, was recognized in 2003 on a national level by
the U.S. Department of Education with the No Child Left Behind - Blue Ribbon Schools
Program as a model of academic excellence in the state of Massachusetts. This honor
can be attributed to a dedicated staff, focused leadership, collaborative decision-making,
professional development and strong community support. Improving student
- 141 -
achievement, providing quality instruction and enhancing our instructional skills to meet
the educational needs of all students has been and will continue to be our focus. To that
end, a Mathematics Program Study Adoption Committee was formed last year with
representation from all of the Nauset Public Schools for the purpose of examining the
concept and practice of "mathematical thinking," reviewing published mathematics
programs and recommending an appropriate mathematics program for grades K-6. This
comprehensive process took into consideration such factors as alignment of
mathematical content to state expectations, multi-leveled student experiences, technology
integration and varied forms of assessing student mastery. Through professional
development offerings during the summer and in-service programs during the school
year, staff members had opportunities to expand their level of expertise in topics such as
Mathematic Program Implementation, Standards-Based Instruction, Effective Teaching
Unit Design, Empowering Writers and Technology.
Character counts at Orleans Elementary School. The focus of the 2003-2004 School
Improvement Plan is to promote a school climate that values respect, responsibility,
trustworthiness, fairness, caring and citizenship. These six themes or character words
are known as the "Six Pillars of Character." We have made a school wide commitment to
this focus with family involvement to ensure the success of our efforts.
Enhancement of the core curriculum takes place within and outside of the school day.
Students were culturally enriched by presentations from the Harwich F.C.C. Orchestra,
the Cape Cod Symphony, the Spirit of America, the Academy of Performing Arts, Hyannis
Sound and the Tanglewood Marionettes. The Massachusetts Cultural Council funded the
Spirit of Spain, a performance that exposed students to the history and culture of Spain
through classical guitar music. Students took advantage of the many opportunities to get
involved in extended day programs as evidenced by their participation in band, chorus,
drama, winter enrichment and the numerous Parent Teacher Committee sponsored
activities. The community joined us in promoting reading programs (Rotary Club and
Snow Library), providing educational programs (Fire Department and D.A.R.E.), fostering
intergenerational connections (Orleans Convalescent Home) and volunteering precious
time to support our efforts.
On behalf of the students and staff of Orleans Elementary School, I want to acknowledge
our gratitude to all of you for being an important part of our accomplishments. We simply
could not do it without you!
Respectfully submitted,
Gail M. Briere, Principal
Orleans Elementary School Committee
The Orleans School Committee is pleased that the Orleans Elementary School received
national recognition as a Blue Ribbon School from the United States Department of
Education in 2003. This success is the direct result of a community working together to
make every Orleans child a success story.
The staff at OES are dedicated and creative in the classroom, and collaborate regularly
as professionals. The administration develop and follow a strategic plan which places the
highest emphasis on student achievement and demands improvement, causing good
programs to become excellent.

The town of Orleans supports a school budget which maintains small class sizes and
enables our teaching staff to provide students with not only a solid grounding in the
basics, but also an enriched program with an appreciation for art and culture and the
natural beauty of Cape Cod. The school is an open, light and welcoming building which
nurtures growth and learning, and the town has generously supported maintenance and
repairs to keep the facility in good shape.
As we celebrate together the achievements at Orleans Elementary School in 2003, the
- Orleans School Committee thanks citizens of Orleans for making excellent public
education a consistent and high priority over the years.

Pamela Jordan, Chair
Parks & Beaches Department
The year 2003 was an unusually stormy one with a lot of snow, wind, and rain
precipitating further erosion at Nauset Beach, which continues to be a major concern.
The main beach area and the area north of the parking lot are continuing its westward
migration at an alarming speed. This erosion is causing a safety problem at the main
section of the beach with patrons spreading out over a greater distance onto unguarded
beach areas. We are also seeing a revenue loss as some patrons feel the beach is too
narrow and overcrowded. The erosion to the north of the parking lot (Nauset Spit) has
started to impact the bluff along Nauset Heights.
The erosion and westward migration of Nauset Beach will continue with the eventual loss
of private upland and the Nauset Beach bathhouse, snack bar, and parking lot. This loss
could happen within the next twenty to twenty-five years (or sooner) depending on storm
severity.
The inside beach road between the parking lot south to trail #1 continues to be a problem
with water in the road during the off-season. This is due to the low elevation of the road,
high water table, and higher tides in Pleasant Bay Estuary. This problem will need to be
addressed with possibly using dredge spoils from Rock Harbor to raise the elevation of
the roadway.
We have started the process of renewing our ten-year permits with the Army Corps of
Engineers, D.E.P., C.Z.M., and the local Conservation Commission to continue
replenishing Skaket Beach on a yearly basis. Our current permits expire in 2005 and it
will take fourteen months of review to renew the permits. With any luck, in the next three
years we will have a yearly maintenance permit to dredge the mouth of Rock Harbor. We
would then be able to use the dredge spoils from Rock Harbor to replenish Skaket Beach
saving approximately $15,000 a year.
At the Pilgrim Lake beach area a dense population of vegetation including Water Willow,
Pickerelweed, Water Lilies, and Elodea are encroaching into the swimming area. The
swimming area was created in the 1960's by removing beach sand from Nauset Beach
and installing it at Pilgrim Lake creating a beach and a sandy bottom area for safe
swimming. The area has been reduced by approximately 20% by the encroachment.
- 143 -
There is also a safety concern as beach patrons could become tangled in the Elodea.
This problem will have to be addressed in the near future within the framework of existing
Wetlands Regulations if we are to retain this area as a safe, viable recreation area.
This past season we charged a five-dollar parking fee for non-residents on weekends
during the month of September at both Nauset and Skaket beaches. Income derived
from this fee was approximately $19,000. We received many complaints regarding this
new fee in the off-season, but with reduced funding from the State, the fee helped raise
additional revenue without raising local taxes.
Daily parking sales at the beach was down approximately -6%, beach sticker sales -10%,
and daily parking with motel coupons -33%.
The following is beach revenue for the 2003 season:
Daily parking
Visitor stickers
Motel coupons
Off Road Vehicle Permits
Concessions
$ 429,958
93,269
10,640
545,000
87,034
$1,165,901
The sale of Off Road Vehicle Stickers for non-residents was level with 2002 but the sale
for resident Off Road Vehicle Stickers increased by +10%. Daily use stayed basically
level as compared to 2002.
Off Road Vehicle activity was as follows:
Orleans resident stickers
Chatham resident stickers
Non - resident over sand stickers
Non - resident self-contained stickers
Camp owners (Chatham/Orleans)
1,987
856
2,675

The number of times the beach was closed due to daily vehicle limits that are imposed
were seven days on the North end; twelve days on the South end; and five weekends for
self - contained.

Monitoring and protection of endangered and threatened species continues. This
program is mandated by the Federal and State Endangered Species Act as well as by
orders of conditions from the Orleans Conservation Commission. This program entails
erecting over 5 miles of symbolic fencing, installing 300 signs as well as installing 400
posts to delineate off road vehicle corridors and to protect potential habitat for Piping
Plovers, Least Terns, Common Terns, Roseate Terns and American Oyster Catchers.
We are also required to erect enclosures, monitor nests chicks and adults to provide
hatching success and survival rates of adults and chicks.
The following data was recorded for the 2003 season:
Piping Plovers
Least Terns
Common Terns
Roseate Terns
American Oyster Catcher
16 pair
56 pair
4 pair
o pair
1 pair
The fledge success rate for Piping Plovers were .90 chicks per pair. The production rate
for the Terns and American Oyster Catchers were zero. The low production rate for all
species were attributed to Coyote, Fox, Skunks, Crows, and high tides caused by storms.
The Monday night concerts at Nauset Beach continue to be a success, drawing large
crowds.
We continue to see an increase in the use of the parks, fields, playgrounds and
conservation areas we maintain. The playground at Eldredge Park needs to either be
enlarged or an additional playground constructed at another location in town.
Eldredge Park, Volunteer Field, and Leo P. Miller fields are seeing higher usage with
additional recreation use, adult leagues, Babe Ruth Baseball, Nauset Middle and High
Schools, pickup soccer and football, along with Orleans Storm Soccer and Cardinal's
Baseball games. With the increased use and restrictions of maintenance on the fields
placed on the Town by the passage of The Children's Protection Act, we will see higher
costs associated with maintaining these areas.
We just received a copy of the Baseball America Magazine in which they rate Ballparks in
America in ten categories from the Major Leagues to High School. In the Category of
College Summer Ballparks, Eldredge Park was named #1 again as it was 10 and 25
years ago. We are proud of that acknowledgement once again.
We have seen an increased use of the Tennis Courts in the spring and the fall due to
Nauset Regional Middle and High school use for after school team sports as their tennis
courts were declared unplayable by their respective League and due to budget
restrictions, funding has not been available for repairs.
- 1.45 -
Use of Depot Square has increased dramatically with the completion of the Bike Bridge ...
and Bike Trail extension.
Use of conservation areas including Kent's Point, Pah Wah, Bakers Pond, Windmill site,
Window on the Cove, Meadow on the Cove, and the Christian property continues to
increase each year as the availability of these properties become known to residents and
visitors. With the increased use there will approach a need to restore pathways due to
erosion. We continued working with the Conservation Department in removing Invasive
Species for view enhancement, forest and field restoration.
Due to the continued support and $6,000 in donations from the Orleans Improvement
Association, we were able to install new plantings and a sprinkler system at Soldiers
Monument along with new trees at Soldiers Monument, Village Green, and Eldredge
Park. With their continued support they have helped to enhance the beauty of the Town
of Orleans for which we are extremely grateful.
Over 1,200 new bulbs were planted at various locations around town. Locations will be
deluged with beauty in the spring.
Five more redwood benches were installed at various locations. Due to time constraints
to maintain the 61 benches we currently have installed and budget constraints, we have
decided to discontinue this program.
The Park Department staff deleaded the four seasonal housing units, which were formally
the Gavigan Cottages. This included removing and replacing all of the windows, doors,
exterior trim, and interior trim as well as removing and replacing portions of the sidewall
shingles. This property was inspected before the summer 2003 season and was certified
by the State as lead free. The funds to pay for the extensive work was derived from the
rent that we charge the seasonal staff.
Staffing for seasonal laborers continues to be a problem due to competition with the
private sector that pays much higher hourly salary rates. We did not have any problem
finding Lifeguards this summer as two of our Lifeguards, Katie McCully and Justin
Bohannon, coach the Nauset Regional High School swim team and send many qualified,
trained, individuals to compete for Lifeguard openings. Staffing at the end of the season
continues to be a problem, as many students have to return to colleges between August
20th and August 30th each year.
My deepest thanks and appreciation to the following volunteers and organizations for their
time, energy and efforts on behalf of the town: Lighthouse Charter School staff &
students; Fred Perreault; Joe & Ardath Reynolds; Orleans Athletic Association; Orleans
Chamber of Commerce and the Rhododendron Society.
As always, cooperation from all the Town Departments enhances our ability to provide the
best services possible to our taxpayers. Special thanks to the Police and Fire
Department's for their professional and efficient response to problems at Park and Beach
areas and to the Highway and Water Department's for use of their heavy equipment.

Personnel Advisory Board
On April 30, 2003, the Personnel Advisory Board held a public hearing to consider two
proposed revisions to the Orleans Personnel Bylaw. These proposed changes were also
on the warrant for the Annual Town Meeting in May, 2003.
The first proposed revision, Article 10 on the warrant, was to amend Classification and
Compensation Plan D by adding a skilled laborer position at Grade D-4, and by adding 50
centers per hour differential for EMT certification for the positions of Beach Patrol Officer,
Beach Traffic Director, and Beach Director. Approved: 3-0-0.
The second proposed revision to the Personnel Bylaw, Article 11 on the warrant, was to
fund a cost-of-Iiving wage increase for non-union employees covered by Classification
and Compensation Plans A, B, D and Eat 3.5% for Fiscal Year 2004. Approved: 3-0-0.
In 2003, there were no disputes over the interpretation of the grievance procedure of the
Orleans Personnel By-Law brought before the Board for mediation by any full or part-time
town employees who are covered by the Personnel By-Law.

Planning Board Report on the Orleans Comprehensive Plan
I would like to take this opportunity to brief you on the progress the Town has made in
implementing the Orleans Comprehensive Plan.
Each fall, the Planning Board issues a report on the status of the Comprehensive Plan
recommendations. The report is sent to all departments and committees that have "lead"
responsibilities to implement the various aspects of the plan. Those agencies report back
on their priorities for implementation in the coming fiscal year. The Planning Board then
ranks the activities and forwards the information to the Board of Selectmen to be used as
part of the budget planning process.
There are 180 recommendations in the Town Plan. The highest priorities for action in the
upcoming fiscal year are:
. Environmental protection - Efforts to protect groundwater, and surface water
quality are underway. This includes water quality monitoring of our bays, ponds,
- 147 -
and lakes, shellfish resource enhancement, and drainage improvements along our ...
roads.
. Business Corridor planning - The Planning Board conducted a study of the Route
6A business corridor, got input from many residents, and has a working list of
actions to improve the business districts of the town. This includes several zoning
proposals that will be considered later by the Town Meeting.
. Planning for Municipal Needs - A report by the Municipal Needs Study Committee
explains progress in this area.
. Transportation improvements - The bike path bridge to Eastham is open for
bicyclists. Street access regulations are being developed to administer the bylaw
passed by last year's Town Meeting. The Planning Board is planning to review the
town parking regulations in the upcoming year.
The Plan contains a number of long-term initiatives that were worked on in FY2003 and
will continue in FY2004. These include the following:
. Protection of Open Space - Since the adoption of the Town Plan, the Open Space
Committee has permanently protected 118 acres of open space. This has been
through funding from the Land Bank with continuous support of Town Meeting.
Coupled with the work of the Orleans Conservation Trust and other private efforts,
167 acres have been preserved. The goal is to preserve 400 acres of open space
from development, so we are well on our way toward achieving that goal.
. Wastewater Management Plan - The Town continues to make progress toward the
development of a town-wide plan for wastewater treatment. This summer will mark
the 3rd year of Town-wide water quality testing necessary to complete the scientific
analysis of our waters. We have confirmation that the Town has been included in
the State's Estuaries Project, and will receive matching funds necessary to
complete water quality models for all of our marine waters.
. Village Center Master Plan - The Town has recently secured grant funding from
the County to complete a traffic study of the entire Village Center. We will be
working this summer to look at ways to improve the flow of traffic and maintain a
walkable Main Street. The Planning Board believes that basic infrastructure
planning in the areas of wastewater and transportation are the foundation for a
vibrant Village Center in the future.
Any resident interested in reviewing the status of a particular recommendation may
contact the Planning Department for a copy of the full report.
In conclusion, the Planning Board has taken its role as keeper of the Town Plan to heart.
We have developed a system to track and encourage progress among the various town
departments. Ultimately, many of the goals and actions in the plan can only come to
fruition with the cooperative support of residents and voters.
Respectfully submitted,
Alan Conklin, Chairman

Planning Department
The Department provided staff support to the Site Plan Review Committee, Planning
Board, Wastewater Management Steering Committee, Water Quality Task Force, Zoning
Bylaw Task Force, Pleasant Bay Alliance, Wind Energy Committee and other boards &
committees as needed.
In calendar 2003, the Planning Department made progress in a number of programs
designed to fulfill the community vision expressed in the Orleans Comprehensive Plan.
Highlights of those efforts are as follows:
· A traffic study of the Village Center was conducted using funding secured through
a grant from Barnstable County. The results of the study will be used to plan for
effective traffic management and pedestrian access as part of the Village Center
planning process. Transportation and wastewater management issues must be
addressed if the Village Center is to become the kind of central place that residents
desire.
. Work began on development of a Pre-Hazard Mitigation Plan, which will enable the
Town to apply for FEMA hazard mitigation funds in the future. The plan will identify
flood-prone roadways and other potential hazards prior to storm events so that
improvements can be made.
. Traffic management continues to be a concern. The Planning Department
prepared and submitted a grant application for a Public Works Economic
Development Grant for $490k to relocate and reconstruct Lots Hollow Road. This
will improve an important intersection in town and compliment major improvements
at Skaket Corners.
. On a larger scale, the Town has been actively working with the Cape Cod
Commission, Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority, and the National Seashore to
establish an Outer Cape Transit System. The concept would include a "mini-
modal" transit center in Orleans to allow residents of Outer Cape communities to
access business and medical services with fewer motor vehicles. Federal funding
for buses is anticipated, but routes have not been finalized.
. Affordable housing progress was made. All funding is in place and a contractor
has been solicited for the development of a 3-unit development at the corner of
Finlay Road and Route 28, as authorized by the Town Meeting. Other
opportunities are being sought on a continuing basis by the Joint Committee for
Affordable Housing. The Town applied for and received Housing Certification from
the State in compliance with Executive Order 418. The certification makes the
Town eligible to apply for a variety of state grants.
. In support of the Wind Energy Committee, the Planning Department secured a 50-
meter test tower to measure the wind resource above the Town Watershed. At the
end of the 12-month study, the Town will know whether a wind turbine is feasible
as a green energy source to operate the public water system. The Town will
continue to work with UMASS Renewable Energy Research Lab and the
- 1.49 -
Massachusetts Technology Collaborative to study the details of incorporating wind ...
energy in a fiscally responsible manner.
. The Department continued to support efforts to create the Town's first
comprehensive wastewater management plan. Water quality sampling was
coordinated with more than 100 trained volunteers. The Town was awarded a
National On-Site Demonstration Project grant of $45,000 to study wastewater
management districts for Orleans, one of only 12 grant awards nationwide. A pre-
application for a grant to study the Tri-Town Septage Treatment Plant was
approved, with final awards expected in early spring 2004. The funds will be used
to look at plant operations and projected capital needs.
. A Wildfire Assessment grant was awarded to Orleans. A forester will be hired in
2004 to assess the potential for wildfire in the Town Watershed and Pochet Island,
and funding will be sought to create firebreaks and take other appropriate
measures to protect open space from fire hazards.
. As the Town continues to become developed, growth control is a major concern.
Orleans is a highly desirable community, a quality all residents want to retain in the
future. The Planning Department has begun to update the Town's buildout
analysis in order to project the levels of development that could occur in the future
under present regulations. Already, a number of efforts to manage future growth
have been adopted by the Town. In 2003, Town Meeting approved an amendment
to the Zoning Map that transferred a large segment of the Route 6A corridor from
General Business to Limited Business. This action will allow the Town better
regulatory control over future develop in the area so that it does not adversely
affect residents.
Overall, 2003 was a productive year in which the Town took steps to protect its short-term
and long-term future. The Planning Department notes with great appreciation the many
volunteers who give of their personal time to make Orleans a better place.

George Meservey, Director of Planning & Community Development
Pleasant Bay Resource Management Alliance
The Pleasant Bay Resource Management Alliance is an organization formed by the
Towns of Chatham, Orleans and Harwich to coordinate implementation of the Pleasant
Bay Resource Management Plan. The Alliance has a Steering Committee with one
member and one alternate member appointed by each town's Board of Selectmen. The
Steering Committee is supported by a Technical Resource Committee consisting of
resource management professionals from each town, and representatives of
Massachusetts Coastal Zone Management, the Cape Cod Commission and the Cape
Cod National Seashore. A coordinator for the Alliance manages implementation activities
with the committees. Information about the Alliance is found at www.pleasantbaV.orQ.
May 2003 Town Meetings in the Alliance towns approved the Pleasant Bay Resource
Management Plan Update. Subsequently, Secretary of Environmental Affairs Ellen Roy
Herzfelder approved the update. In her letter of approval, Secretary Herzfelder called the

five-year plan update "a model of coordinated municipal and regional planning and
management of sensitive resources that other ACECs and communities across the
Commonwealth can use as an example."
The update, which augments the 1998 approved plan, provides a summary of
implementation actions undertaken by the Pleasant Bay Alliance towns over the past five
years, recommendations to be carried forward, and new recommendations and actions to
be undertaken during the coming five years of coordinated management activity. Program
areas include water quality monitoring, watershed planning, wetlands protection, boating
safety, shoreline dynamics, and habitat monitoring.
The Alliance completed the fourth season of bay-wide water quality monitoring. Many
thanks are offered to the more than 100 volunteers who collected water quality samples
and recorded field information across the Bay from June through September. Water
quality samples are analyzed at the SMAST Laboratory at UMASS-Dartmouth. The
Alliance will publish the third annual Pleasant Bay Water Quality Interim Report.
The Alliance continued its discussions with managers of the Massachusetts Estuaries
Project to ensure that nutrient modeling of the entire Bay occurs as early as possible. As
a result of these discussions, Pleasant Bay was given priority status in the program.
Through the 2004 Annual Town Meeting the Alliance is seeking the Town of Orleans to
commit its share of the local contribution funding for the program. The Town of Chatham
has committed its share of funds to the project, and the Alliance is also working with the
Town of Harwich to assemble its share. The modeling will provide important information
for use in wastewater planning.
The Alliance also continued its work in the areas of watershed planning, shoreline
dynamics, wetlands protection, and ecological inventorying. The Alliance appreciates the
Town's on-going financial support and commitment toward its efforts to preserve the
natural resources and public enjoyment of Pleasant Bay.

Arnold Henson, Orleans Representative to Steering Committee
Police Department
Several years ago, under Chief William Stone, the term community policing was
introduced in the Town as a way to get citizens and police officers together to solve
quality-of-life issues. The leadership of the Department changed hands this year as Chief
Stone retired March 2002 after serving as Chief of Police for nearly fourteen years.
Captain Greene served as the interim and continued with excellent leadership until
January 2003 when I was sworn in as the Town's new Chief of Police. Although the top
position has changed, the philosophy and mission of our Department has not. It is based
on beliefs that police officers and private citizens, working together, can help solve
problems related to crime, fear of crime, and quality-of-life issues.
There has been a tremendous amount of change that has occurred within the Department
and it is a testament to the professionalism and pride that your officers have that the
change has been seamless and was embraced by all personnel. The year 2003 saw
Officer Lundegren resign to go to Yarmouth PD, his home town, and Officer Richard Dinn
- 151. -
hired to take his place after a lengthy and competitive process. Lt. Greene was promoted
to Captain and Sergeant Gould was promoted to Lieutenant. This was a first step to
bringing an increased amount of accountability to the department. Everyone, from the
Chief of Police to a newly hired officer, is held accountable for their actions. Whether an
officer is assigned to assist a citizen with a minor motor vehicle collision or is a lead
investigator on a major crime, his or her actions are scrutinized as to whether they
conformed to current policies. Additional rank and assignments add to the accountability
process.
As we enter the new millennium, however, we anticipate more changes. Change in
technology is inevitable, such as enhanced computer software that will save time entering
and retrieving data and will subsequently allow officers to spend more time serving you,
the public. Change in certain policies will also take place as we reach out to community
members for direction and feedback. We must look at citizens as our customers and
constantly look for advice on how to provide improved service to the community. The
Orleans Police Station has a very wide front door. We ask members of the community to
come in and join in our efforts. Together we can continue to put our "community first."
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who served on the Police Chief
Selection Committee, the Selectmen, and all of the town Departments for an unbelievable
amount of support and guidance throughout 2003. This truly is a model community where
all town Departments are working together toward one common goal. Finally, I would be
remiss in not thanking the men and women of the Orleans Police Department for
supporting initiatives and changes I have proposed over the past year. The police work
that is done every day by your department is remarkable and I commend them for their
fine work.

Recreation Committee
The Orleans Recreation Committee is appointed by the Board of Selectman as an
advisory committee to the Recreation Department and Director. They participate in the
budget process and try to get a feel for the population's recreational needs in Orleans. In
2003, the Committee was reorganized from seven members to a five members.
The Committee has been working on more programs to touch greater portions of the
community. The long range plans for a full community center has been addressed and a
need shown. The Committee has been working with private facilities to offer more
programming for kids and adults. Healthy alternatives to our existing programs are being
planned, such as swimming and adult basketball. The goal is to provide these additional
services to the residents, especially those under-served, at little or low cost, prior to the
construction of a community center.
The Committee continues to explore regional activities and cooperative endeavors with
other communities on the lower cape.

Registrars of Voters
On December 31,2003 there were 5,243 Active registered voters in the Town of Orleans
and 106 were listed as Inactive. We have a total of 6,771 residents living year round in
the town.
Any citizen age 18 or over may register to vote in the Town Clerk's office during regular
office hours (M-F: 8:30 a.m.- 4:30 p.m.) In addition, special registration sessions are held
throughout the year, three weeks before any election and town meeting. Mail-in
registrations are also available. If you change your license at the Department of Motor
Vehicles, you can also change your registration at the same time, Only registered voters
may vote in state and town elections and at Town Meeting.
Every year a Census of all residents is taken by the town. Each voter for whom no
census information is received is then maintained on an Inactive voters' list until he/she
has failed to vote in two consecutive biennial state elections. The voter is then notified by
mail of the anticipated removal of his or her name from the Inactive voters' list.

Shellfish & Waterways Improvement Advisory Committee
The issues relating to the effects of water quality upon shellfish beds and herring runs
have been a major focus of concern for the past year. In particular, the Committee has
spent much time considering ways in which the run ending in Cedar Pond can be restored
to its former health. Although herring were observed in the pond this spring, the
conditions of the pond, specifically the dissolved oxygen levels, are a matter of serious
concern. The increased flow into the pond produced by an adjustment of the boards
regulating the flow in and out should contribute somewhat to a long term improvement in
the water quality. Two members of the Orleans Water Quality Task Force - Judy Scanlon
and Patricia Crow - have been central participants in our discussions of Cedar Pond. The
perspectives and data which they have brought to the issue have been invaluable. Major
sources contributing to the problem have been identified; they are: Route 6 runoff,
development in the vicinity of Cedar Pond, and the movement of ground water from the
central business district into the swamp adjacent to the pond. Addressing these sources
will require a major commitment from the town and the state. Since similar degradation of
water quality affecting shellfish beds and marine life may be observed in other salt water
ponds in the town, the Committee believes that major coordinated efforts to change the
pattern of human activity which contributes to these problems should be made.
Other issues which were considered by the Committee are: the possible establishment of
a run from Quanset Pond into Sarah's Pond, variations in the green crab population and
possible methods of control, a review of mooring policies, the resurgence of mussels in
Town Cove, and the new razor clam fishery in Pleasant Bay.
The work of the committee would not be possible without the strong support we receive
from Harbormaster Dawson Farber. The working relationship that he has established
with this committee has been extremely productive. We would also like to thank both
David Lai and Ken Farrar who have served as liaison between the Board of Selectmen
and the Committee. Long-time members Julie Winslow and Whit Scott have left the
Committee during the year and we would like to express our appreciation for their time
and contributions. New members Judy Scanlon and Cecil Newcomb were appointed to
take their places.
In conclusion, we believe that Orleans greatest assets are its ponds, waterways, bays,
shore, and marine life. Human activity is clearly adversely affecting these irreplaceable
resources. A much greater effort will be required from the town citizens and their
leadership if we are to pass these resources on to the next generation in the condition in
which we received them.

objective review of development proposals in order to safeguard public health, safety,
welfare, and aesthetics.

Snow Library
The big news in 2003 was that Snow Library was ranked 9th in the nation, out of 1,441
libraries serving communities of comparable size, by Hennan's American Public Library
Ratings (HAPLR) and reported in American Libraries. Although Snow Library is in the
small end of the 5000-9000 population category, it was ranked ahead of hundreds of
other libraries serving substantially larger communities. HAPLR scores are based on
several per capita input and output measurements, such as collection size, circulation,
visits, reference questions and expenditures. Each factor is weighed and then scored.
America's 7,291 libraries are divided into ten ranking groups by size of population. The
largest libraries serve communities of over 500,000 and the smallest serve less than
1,000. Snow Library tied for fourth place among New England libraries of all sizes.
Snow Library's mandate remains unchanged; to provide educational, recreational,
reference, children's and young adults' services for an educated, active public. There
were 8,332 registered borrowers as of June 30th, and 5,163 residents of the town were
registered for library use.
The library's collection included 59,165 items, with 54,867 books, 1,981 audio books,
1,688films (VHS and DVD), and other materials in microforms, CD/ROM, kits, plus
numerous network transfers and interlibrary loans. Circulation of library-owned materials
totaled 158,486 transactions, plus 12,975 interlibrary loans from other libraries and 5,654
such loans in the other direction. The per capita numbers of items loaned and the
percentage of library users in the population remain among the highest in the country.
The library was open for a total of 2,368 hours, there were 149,830 visits, and reference
librarians fielded 7,079 queries.
The lecture series continued in popularity, covering such topics as the Shiverick Shipyard
of East Dennis; New Directions in Representational Art; Behind the Scenes with the Cape
Cod Symphony; Shellfish and the Tides of Change at the Cape's Elbow; Theater Arts; the
Cahoon Museum; Defense and Intelligence Issues in the Middle East; Coyotes on Cape
Cod; Whale Monitoring and Disentanglement; and a performance by the Nauset Regional
High School Honors Chorus. Course offerings by the Lifetime Learning program were
similarly well attended, including Shellfish and Coastal Issues; Handel's Messiah; the
Clash of Sea and Land; a poetry workshop; the Impact of Art in Shaping the National
Identity; Cape Cod Hospital; Culture and History of France; How Congress Works;
- 1.57 -
Forgotten Women in Art; DNA and Genetics; Probability; Cape Cod Gardening; Oil and
Energy; Domestic Roots of US Foreign Policy; Writing and Publishing of Memoirs;
Russian History and Culture; Astronomy; Renaissance Music; and Mirrors in the History
of Art. The Summer Reading Program, with 480 visits, included a series of creative craft
workshops on the art of collage, paper flowers, prints, stars and flip books as well as
offerings in painting, music, story-telling, magic, book swaps, mystery, history and
origami.
As always, the principal initiative, staffing and backing for the Library's many successful
volunteer programs came from The Friends of Snow Library, one of the largest such
groups in the Commonwealth. Friends-supported Library activities included: book
mending; shelving and shelf reading; magazine maintenance; mail and newspaper
pickup; the Sunday afternoon lecture series; Lifetime Learning Courses; support of
children's programs; book discussion group; and book deliveries to nursing homes and
senior housing. In May, The Friends sponsored a very successful book-and-author
luncheon at the Jailhouse Tavern featuring Matthew Pearl, author of The Dante Club.
Children's activities included story hours, seasonal craft workshops for ages 5-12, and a
summer reading program with audiences generally over 30 to 90. Total attendance at 146
such children's programs was 2,671.
The Snow Library Endowment Fund has a five-member board of directors comprised of
two Friends, two Trustees and a jointly named fifth member. The Trustee members were
Chris Wells and Penny Noll, the delegates from Friends were Emily Hannah and Robert
Singer, and the new fifth member is Chris Beardsley. A $20,000 gift from the Endowment
supported software updates for the new computer system, as well as new signage and
other enhancements throughout the Library.
Memorial gifts were received in honor of the lives of Jessica B.F.Carpenter, Jim DeLory,
Martha Barrow Eldredge, Gloria June Webb Gibbs, Bette Hamilton, Joanne Lefter, Eileen
Nolan and M. Jean Turner. All memorial contributions were used to improve the library's
collection.
Under the supervision of Trustee Bobi Eldridge, preservation work neared completion on
the massive project of restoring and cataloging the historical photographs of H. K.
Cummings, a collection left to Snow Library. A public showing of the collection is
scheduled at the Library for October, 2004.
The Library continued to provide Internet access to the public, with staff support as
required.
Snow Library would like to thank all the town departments for their help and in particular,
the Orleans Parks Department for all their assistance in keeping our building and grounds
safe and attractive. The Board of Trustees and the entire staff of Snow Library are
grateful for the continued support of the Town of Orleans and we look forward to
maintaining the tradition of excellent library service in 2004.

Superintendent of Schools
Two thousand three was a good year for Nauset and Orleans' students and staff. It
began with the thrilling Martin Luther King weekend, with two of Nauset High School's
musical ensembles distinguishing themselves in impressive venues. Our Honors Chorus
performed Mozart's Mass No. 16 at Carnegie Hall in New York City, while our Jazz Band
was performing in and winning a competition at the Berklee College of Music in Boston.
This fall, the Department of Education announced that our scores on the MCAS tests
improved for the fifth consecutive year; our Boys' Soccer team, representing the smallest
Division 1 school in the state, won the South Sectional championship; and our athletic
program won two awards for exemplary sportsmanship. In every area - academic,
cultural, and athletic - we will continue to strive to be among the very best public schools.
That commitment was rewarded in October with the announcement that Orleans
Elementary School had been selected to receive the coveted Blue Ribbon Award from the
federal Department of Education. OES was one of just two Massachusetts schools to win
the award in 2003, and the first on Cape Cod in many years. Principal Gail Briere and
teacher Pat Ashwell flew to Washington, D.C. to accept the award.
These achievements have not been accomplished without difficulties. The state's
economy continued in the doldrums in 2003, necessitating a 20% reduction in aid to
education. After cutting programs as much as was compatible with continued academic
success, the Nauset and Orleans School Committees participated in Proposition 2 %
overrides to fund the balances of their budgets. The results were gratifying to those who
have supported our schools in their improvement efforts over the past decade. We will
continue to emphasize cost-efficiency, and the overriding importance of our core
academic program, as long as the state and local economy are recovering from the
recession.
In Orleans, we have seen enrollment drift lower since the late '90's. Forecasts indicate
the Town's student population may continue to decline, a pattern consistent with much of
the Lower Cape. Indeed, the reduced elementary population has already begun to impact
the Nauset Region schools. Middle School enrollment has declined each of the past two
years, necessitating a reduced teaching staff. At the High School, enrollment continues
to grow, but should begin to shrink in a year or two.
These concerns notwithstanding, Nauset was selected by the Massachusetts Educational
Quality and Accountability Office for a site visit to explore the reasons for our academic
success, to determine whether some of our practices might be models for other school
systems state-wide. Four visiting program auditors spent nearly a week interviewing
school and town staff and officials, looking for the reasons for our improving test scores,
and particularly those aspects of our efforts that might easily be recommended to others.
We await their report eagerly.
Locally, the School Committee has sought to maintain the excellent program the Town
and its parents have come to expect, while recognizing the fiscal conditions besetting
government at all levels. With deep gratitude for the Town's longstanding commitment to
- 1.59 -
its children, we in the school department will continue to make ourselves accountable for
excellent student achievement. We could not accomplish what we do without the support
and understanding of the Town's citizens.

Veterans' Graves Registration Officer
I hereby submit my first annual report to the Board of Selectmen for the Veterans' Graves
Officer, having succeeded Bob Larrimore who passed away December 25, 2002. Bob
had been a longtime friend and I was glad that I was able to help him last year and feel
privileged to carry on his work.
With the help of veterans' family members and F.L. Quinn Construction, I have been able
to identify and mark many additional veterans graves. Not all veteran grave stones
indicate that they were veterans making the task of giving proper recognition more
challenging.
For Memorial Day, a geranium is planted at each veterans grave. Last year that totaled
about 570 plantings. Fortunately for me, that task was made much easier due to the help
given by the Lighthouse Charter School students. To them, I give my heartfelt thanks.
Orleans is fortunate in having people care enough to continue to give recognition to the
veterans that they so justly deserve by placing markers, flags, and geraniums on their
graves. In addition to these flowers, a flower box is placed at each War Memorial and a
wreath placed at each veterans square.
Living next to the cemetery allows me to frequently drive or walk thru and replace worn
and torn flags and repair those that I can. If anyone should see a flag that needs
replacing, please let me know.
Lastly, I want to thank my wife Sandra for all the assistance she has given me in helping
to keep the flags replaced as needed. With all of the wind we have experienced this
year, it was very challenging.
Respectfully submitted,
Peter C. Howerton, Veterans' Graves Officer
Veterans' Services
The District Office of Veterans Services continues to provide the most professional
service to all veterans within our district.
The problem that we faced last year concerns the length of time the Department of
Veterans Affairs takes to process claims for service connected disabilities, pensions and
appeals on pending claims. Several decisions that we have filed for on behalf of our
veterans has taken far too long, which causes problems for all those we serve.

We would be pleased if the Veterans Administration would provide medical service to all
veterans and not to prioritize certain groups.
The prescription drug provision denies those veterans who do not receive a service
connected disability. This is wrong and we are working with Congressman Delahunt and
other members of Congress to overturn this decision.
We look forward to serving all veterans in this district and look forward to your input.

Wastewater Management Steering Committee
The Committee was charged in July 2000 with the task of developing an overall
wastewater management plan for Orleans. Over the past three years, the Committee has
been ably assisted by more than 100 volunteers in performing comprehensive water
quality sampling in which every marine waterbody in Orleans was tested for nitrogen and
other components. Completion of this project in 2003 resulted in the Town being officially
accepted into the State's Massachusetts Estuaries Project (MEP). Other field studies
necessary for the MEP include hydrodynamic modeling of tidal flows, benthic analysis,
and studying the role of bottom sediments in nitrogen regeneration. We anticipate the
delivery of water quality models in June 2005. The models will indicate the levels of
nutrient loading which our estuaries can tolerate without becoming fouled.
While the MEP work was underway, the Committee developed an understanding of the
impacts of land use on water quality. A town-wide nitrogen loading database has been
developed using the Town's GIS. The database will be used to estimate the contribution
of pollutants for each subwatershed in Orleans. Later, the database will be linked to the
Town's buildout analysis so that we can forecast how much more development can be
expected within each subwatershed in the future.
Beginning in 2004, the Town will transition its efforts from defining the problem (Phase 1)
towards establishing a long-range wastewater management plan. For the plan to be
effective, it must be approved by the State and the Cape Cod Commission. Work will
begin on a formal Needs Assessment (Phase 2), a required component of any
wastewater management plan.
The beginning of Phase 2 will commence an involved public process to ensure that the
plan is reflective of the issues and concerns of the citizens of Orleans. The Steering
Committee will be working with the Citizens Advisory Committee to help educate
residents on some of the complexities of modern wastewater management. It is our hope
to engage citizens on the issues so that together we can make good decisions that will
have a significant impact on the future of our town.
Wastewater management planning is a hot topic both regionally and at the state level.
The Steering Committee has worked hard to ensure that the Town's efforts are in sync
with the County Wastewater Implementation Committee, the Cape Businessmen's
Roundtable, and the evolving perspective of the Department of Environmental
Management. We hope to establish working relationships with our neighboring towns of
Harwich, Brewster, and Eastham with which we share estuaries.
The WMSC continues to be grateful for the continued financial support of wastewater
management planning. We will not see the results of our efforts for several years, yet we

Respectfully submitted,
Augusta McKusick, Chairman
Board of Water Commissioners and Water Department
2003 was a productive year for the Water Department. A total of 4,380' of 12" water main
was installed cross-country from Station # 1 and Station # 6 to the construction site of the
new iron and manganese treatment plant. An additional area was cleared along this path
for the installation of the wind energy test tower. The Department also assisted in the
installation of the test tower.
The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection approved the final extended
pump test report for well 8 on December 16, 2003. This approval will allow us to proceed
with the development of this site as a permanent source within the next five years.
Peak demand management efforts continued to be successful in spreading out peak
water use during the busy summer months, thus forestalling the need for near-term
capital expenditures to expand production capacity.
We have continued our public education programs with the celebration of National
Drinking Water Week, the publication of our annual newsletter including a water quality
report and the fourteenth year of our joint educational efforts with the Elementary School's
fifth grade and the Charter School.
Our improvement and maintenance projects continued with 106 fire hydrants inspected
and repaired and 94 water meters replaced.
During 2003, the Board of Water Commissioners devoted significant efforts to the
following matters:
· Updated the Watershed Management Plan (5/21/03) and held two public
hearings (July 16 & 17) regarding current uses and proposed new uses of
the Watershed lands.
· Monitored construction of the iron and manganese treatment plant,
concentrating mostly on the ultra-filtration membrane technology which will
serve wells 1, 4, 5 & 6. Construction began February 2003 and is scheduled
for completion in June 2004.
· Became involved with the Town of Brewster and Massachusetts
Department of environmental Protection regarding possible groundwater
contamination from Brewster's industrial area.
· Helped initiate the Orleans wind energy project.
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 and
cooperation during the past year.

Wind Energy Committee
The Wind Energy Committee, established by the Board of Selectmen in June 2003, met
first on June 25, 2003 and met at least on a monthly basis thereafter. The Selectmen's
charged the committee to evaluate the economic and practical feasibility of operating a
one-plus megawatt, wind-powered generator on Town property, primarily to power the
production of drinking water. The Committee is specifically directed, among other tasks,
to: install a test tower to evaluate the wind resource for a one year period of time and to
evaluate and recommend appropriate equipment based on the demands of the Water
Department.
In accordance with this charge, the Committee met with a number of parties to develop an
understanding of the outside help that may be available to the Town and identify the
priority tasks. The Committee met with representatives of the Massachusetts
Technology Collaborative (MTC) and learned that assistance was available to the Town
from UMass Renewable Energy Research Lab (RERL), paid for by MTC, to install the test
tower.
Based on a preliminary assessment developed by RERL, and the availability of a 50-
meter (approximately 165 feet) height test tower, a suitable site was prepared in the
watershed for the test tower installation. On October 17, 2003, the test tower was
erected and started collecting a year's worth of anemometry that will be part of the
feasibility study to ultimately determine if benefits exist for on-site generation for the
Town.
Other activities of the Committee have included: meeting with an NStar representative to
learn about the potential interconnection requirements with the electrical grid; meeting
with and sharing our experiences with our neighboring towns of Eastham and Harwich;
attending a seminar hosted by MTC regarding the statewide Community Wind
Collaborative; and, reviewing a proposed Wind Energy Bylaw that, if adopted, would
permit the installation of wind energy facilities in Town. The Committee welcomes
citizens comments and suggestions at our meetings.
Respectfully submitted,
Kevin Galligan, Chairman

The purpose of the Board is to hear and decide applications or petitions for Special

decisions of the Zoning Administrator.
A total of 45 cases were submitted, 44 were heard and 1 was continued to 2004. Of the
37 Special Permits heard, 34 were granted and 3 were withdrawn. Of the 10 cases which
combined Special Permits and Variances, 3 granted both, 7 granted Special Permits, and
7 Variance petitions were withdrawn. Of the 18 petitions for Variances, 10 were granted
and 8 were withdrawn. There were 3 appeals; 1 was withdrawn and a Special Permit
granted, 1 was upheld and a Variance granted, and 1 was upheld. One Comprehensive
Permit was heard and granted. There were 21 regular open meetings in 2003.

Mark Boardman, Chairman
Zoning Bylaw Task Force
The Orleans Zoning Bylaw Task Force is a seven-member committee made up of
residents, committees and Town departments, appointed by the Board of Selectmen to
study and draft language for proposed Zoning Bylaw amendments. The public is
welcome and encouraged to attend our meetings.
During 2003, the Task Force reviewed and drafted language for several proposed
amendments for consideration at the Annual Town Meeting in May. After review by Town
Counsel, five draft articles were presented to the Planning Board for public hearing. The
Planning Board placed all five articles on the Annual Town Meeting warrant, of which 3
were approved by voters. The Zoning proposals and their dispositions were addressed in
articles 21-25 of the May 12 Annual Town Meeting, available elsewhere in this report.
In 2003, the Task Force was represented by Alan Conklin (Planning Board), Mark Zivan
(Planning Board, resigned 6/30), Sims McGrath (Planning Board, 7/01), George Waugh
(Board of Appeals), John Murphy (at-large member), Building Commissioner Brian
Harrison, and Planning Director George Meservey. There was one vacant at-large
position in 2003. David Lai is the Selectmen liaison.
For 2004, the Zoning Bylaw Task Force will address, among other issues,
recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan for zoning changes to better manage
residential and commercial growth, and other issues that have an impact on the future
land use of the town.
Respectfully submitted,
George Meservey, Chairman
