Maclean 'MAC' Kirkwood
August 18, 1927 - November 6, 2007
Shortly after moving to Orleans in 1986 'MAC' gave generously of his time; first serving
on the Finance Committee then shortly thereafter as a member of the Board of
Selectmen for six years, two as Chairman. He also served on the Tri-Town Board of
Managers, Snow Library Board of Trustee's and the Town Hall Space Needs and
Building Committee.
He enjoyed cruising and sailing on Pleasant Bay and served as past Commodore of the
Orleans Yacht Club where he was an active member of the sailing fleet.
Orleans is a better community because of Mac's contributions and service to the Town.

BOARD OF SELECTMEN AND TOWN ADMINISTRATOR
In 2007, the Board of Selectmen and Town Administrator continued their efforts to keep
the public informed on issues that were before the Town and the Board's open door
policy ensured the public was welcome at any hearings and meetings.
Through the combined efforts of the Board of Selectmen and Town Administrator, a
number of projects and initiatives were completed.
• Received voter approval to enter into a new five year agreement with the Town
of Chatham for the Management of Nauset Beach that provides for additional
revenue for Orleans.
• Received voter approval to use the former Tri-Town Composting Building
property for Highway Department related activities.
• Received voter approval to move forward with design and construction of the
Rock Harbor Bulkhead Reconstruction Project.
• Received voter approval to implement a Medicare extension plan for eligible
municipal retirees, their spouses and dependents to better manage rising health
care costs.
The Board of Selectmen and Town Administrator also set and achieved many of the
actions they had listed as part of their annual goals.
• Completed negotiations on new three year collective bargaining agreements with
our Managers Union and Steelworker Laborers Union.
• Adopted a draft budget policy by October 31st and developed a fiscally
responsible operating budget for FY08.
• Hired a Media Operations Coordinator and went live with our new Government
Access Channel 18 that greatly expanded coverage of committee meetings.
• Created a Temporary Project Manager/Clerk of the Works position to better manage
large construction projects, maintain schedules and avoid cost overruns.
• Completed emergency repairs and engaged an architectural firm to undertake a
feasibility study of the existing Police Station to identify future needs and present
possible options for consideration.
• Completed a review of the existing fee schedules for all town departments,
boards and committees.
The office experienced a change in personnel during the year with the resignation of
Nan Balmer as Office Manager and the addition of Liana Surdut, who previously worked
in the Building Department, as our new Office Manager.
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.
15
The Selectmen and Town Administrator wish to thank the many citizens who have
provided significant volunteer service to the Town. Without them, Orleans could not
function as well as we do.
And last, but certainly not least, the Board of Selectmen appreciates and thanks our
dedicated employee's for their hard work and professionalism which makes Orleans
such a special place to live and visit.
Respectfully submitted,
John P. Hinckley, Jr. Chairman John F. Kelly

TOWN CLERK
The year 2007 started with a move from the trailers back to our new Town
Clerk's office in the renovated Town Hall. Now that we are located "front and
center" in the main entrance lobby, we are busier than ever greeting, assisting
and directing the public as they enter our brand new facility. The Clerk's office
posts meetings and schedules meeting rooms for Town boards, committees and
commissions. Posting the weekly meeting schedule on the Town's website every
Friday makes it easier for the citizens to be aware of the upcoming committee,
commissions and board meetings.
In addition to our routine "public" activities of registering voters, conducting Town
meetings and elections, selling clamming permits, issuing dog licenses,
registering and certifying birth, marriage and death records, issuing business
certificates, raffle permits and gas storage tank permits, accepting U.S. passport
applications and serving as the switchboard and information center for Town
government, we also work behind the scenes in cataloging and preserving the
ongoing and historical records of the Town.
Our new vault with compactable storage and climate control facilitate the proper
storage and retrieval of these records as well as plenty of room. Funds from the
Community Preservation Committee are enabling us to transfer our permanent
records into archivally stable storage, whether boxes or bindings.
The Annual and Special Town Meetings and Town Election were held in May,
while a Special Town Meeting and Special Election were held in October. In May,
to comply with the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), we introduced our new voter
assist terminal, the Automark. The Automark is a ballot marking machine that
allows voters with disabilities and other special needs to mark a ballot privately
and independently. Once marked, the ballot is inserted by the voter into the vote
tabulating machines with all the other ballots.
I would like to extend a very big "thank you" to the Election Workers and the
Board of Registrars for their outstanding work in assisting our voters and helping
the election process run so smoothly this year. A special thank you to my
assistant, Kelly Darling for all her hard work.

Amount: Asking $17,095 Voted $17,095
Summary: The Farm is a historically significant structure in Orleans.
Application is being made to obtain a listing on the National Register of Historic
Places. Work began in August 2005 to stabilize and restore the farmhouse
58
following the completion of the de-leading. Funds from the October 2006 CPA

farmhouse to a sound condition.

ramps. These ramps have deteriorated to the point where they are a safety
hazard and all structures need to be removed. These funds will be used to create
a new facility by purchasing and installing modular concrete ramps that will better
withstand the elements of the weather and remain usable for many years. This

the initial step in a restoration program for the Meeting House that is intended to
restore the building to its original appearance and to allow for future uses. These
funds will be used to assess the condition of this historic building and to identify
and prioritize needed restoration projects. Funds will also be used to develop a
plan for the Museum on its present site in the context of the re-energized Town
Hall area.

funds in May 2006 and called for installation of a sprinkler system. Phase II was
funded with CPA funds in October 2006 and calls for excavating the basement
and constructing a new foundation. This Phase II project will serve to stabilize
and reinforce the structure of a building that dates back to 1873 when completed.
Funds from this third Academy application will be used to install a modern
heating system that will replace the old steam system. This new hot water
system will serve the theatre via heat exchangers in the attic and will be zoned

working windmill in the future. Specifically during this phase, the dragger pole will
be replaced and the third floor will undergo preservation work.
Committee Expenses (Maximum Allowable $49,000; CP Committee voted
$49,000)
The Community Preservation Act mandates that the CP Committee "study the
needs, possibilities, and resources of the town regarding community preservation."
The Act also permits the Committee to allocate up to 5% of CPA funds for
administrative and operating expenses. In FY08 the Committee anticipates using
funds for legal consultation, financial analysis, recordkeeping, and various studies
directed toward effectively realizing Orleans possibilities concerning open space,
community housing, historic preservation, and recreation. Any and all unused funds
revert to the unallocated reserve for funding future projects.
Reserves-Community Housing (CP Committee voted $230,000)
Funds are allocated to the Reserve to support future project applications that
involve adding to the Town's inventory of Community Housing. Total reserves in
excess of $505,000 would be available to aid in financing significant projects,
such as the proposed construction of an eight-unit rental apartment structure on
the Route 6A property. Concerning the Route 6A project, various funding
alternatives and construction costs remain under discussion while design work
needs to be completed to initiate the bid process to determine actual costs.
Additional CPA grant funds for the project will be evaluated at a later date.

Planning Board Report:
I am Sims McGrath, Chairman of the Planning Board. As a previous speaker has
stated, Orleans now has an updated comprehensive plan to guide Orleans in the
future. The Planning Board takes its responsibility as keeper of the plan
seriously, and we will continue to bring to the Town issues that need to be
addressed in order to preserve the positive qualities of the town for the future.
This year, the Town Meeting Warrant includes 5 proposed zoning amendments.
Three of the proposals come directly from the recommendations of the
comprehensive plan, and two are minor changes to improve the function of the
bylaw. In developing the proposals, the Planning Board held 3 public hearings,
and we heard many valuable comments that were incorporated into the
proposals.
For each article, I will tell you the issue that was encountered in the bylaw, and
how the proposed Zoning amendment provides a solution.
Now on to the article.
Article 22 is the first of two articles tonight that are aimed at providing housing
opportunities in the Village Center District. For those not familiar with our Zoning
Map the Village Center District is shown on the map here.
The article proposes to amend the section that regulates Dwellings in
Commercial Structures. This would include any mixed-use building in the Village
Center District that contains or may contain both business and residential uses.
Philosophically, the Comprehensive Plan contains a recommendation to
encourage a stronger residential component in the Village Center. Practically,
we recognize a need for workforce housing in the community. We hope that this
article will help to address the issue.
The Planning Board held public hearings on January 23 and February 13. 48
people were present at one or both. The board voted 5-0-0 to recommend your
approval of this article.
To explain the technicalities, I would ask the Moderator to recognize the Planning
Director to use a couple of brief slides that should help explain the issue and how
we've proposed to solve it.
Respectfully Submitted, Sims McGrath, Jr., Chairman
72
ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries by the necessary 2/3 majority.
ARTICLE 23. AMEND THE ZONING BYLAWS SECTION 164-19.1, Village
Center District VC
To see if the Town will vote to amend the Orleans Zoning Bylaws by changing
section 164-19.1 to add a new subsection E. to read as follows.
§ 164-19.1. Village Center District VC.
Within the Village Center District, the following use and dimensional limitations
shall apply, regardless of the provisions of § 164-13, Schedule of Use
Regulations:
E. Third Floor Housing. The purpose of this subsection is to allow increased
building height in the Village Center District for the development of accessory
dwelling units within commercial buildings. Up to four (4) dwelling units shall be
allowed on lots when a portion of the units are located on the third floor of a
commercial building. The following shall apply:
1. The vertical distance from the average undisturbed natural grade at the
foundation on the street side of the building to the mean height between
the bottom of the eave and the highest point of each ridge on a pitched
roof shall not exceed 30 feet. In no instance shall the height to the top of
the ridge exceed 42 feet.
2. Roof pitch. In accordance with this subsection, the roof must have a pitch
greater than or equal to 8/12 (rise of eight for every twelve inch run). Flat
roofs are prohibited under this section. No utility equipment may be
placed on the roof other than that for solar collection.
3. Finished space on the third floor of the structure shall be used for
residential purposes and in no case shall it be used for commercial
purposes other than storage of goods.
4. Gabled and eyebrow dormers are permitted but the face of the dormer
shall be set back at least 2 feet from the eave.
5. A site plan shall be submitted and reviewed as provided in § 164-33.
6. Architectural Review Committee approval is required, as provided in §
164-33.1
7. Where detached residential dwellings exist or are proposed on a lot, this
third floor housing provision shall not be applicable for further
development, unless authorized by the Zoning Board of Appeals through
the issuance of a Special Permit.
And furthermore — to see if the Town will vote to amend the Orleans Zoning
Bylaws by changing section 164-21, Schedule of Lot, Yard and Bulk
Requirements, to add a footnote under the Maximum Building Height column in
the VC row to read:
- See Section 164-19.1 E for alternative building height in the Village Center.
73
And furthermore - to see if the Town will vote to amend the Orleans Zoning
Bylaws by changing section 164-4, Definitions, to include the following new
language (new language is underlined):
Buildina Heiaht: The vertical distance from the average undisturbed existing
natural grade at the foundation on the street side of the building to the top of the
ridge. Except as otherwise provided in Section 164-40-2-B, the only portions of a
structure permitted above the ridge line shall be chimneys, air conditioning
equipment, skylights, ventilators and antennae and other like features
appurtenant to buildings which are usually carried above roofs and are not used
for human occupancy and which in no event shall exceed 5 feet above the ridge
line. See Section 164-19.1 E for third floor housina allowance in the Villaae
Center District.
Or to take any other action relative thereto. (2/3 vote required)
MOTION: To accept and adopt Article # 23 as printed in the warrant and the
Zoning Bylaw be so amended.
Planning Board Report:
This article also proposes a change in the allowance of apartments in the Village
Center District.
The Planning Board held public hearings on January 23 and February 13. 48
people were present at one or both of the hearings. The Board voted 5-0-0 to
recommend your approval of this article.
THE ISSUE is the same as the previous proposal: There is a need for workforce
housing, but there are not a sufficient number being constructed under existing
regulations.
This proposal will allow increased building height for 3rd floor apartments in
commercial buildings, in the Village Center District only. This is a thoughtful step
for Orleans, and I want to take a few minutes to give you some background.
Orleans, as many of you know, has a history of 3 and even 4 story buildings that
were once the heart of the Village Center District.
The Community has had 2 visioning forums on the Village Center in the last
couple years. At the forums some key concepts were shown and discussed,
including things like good streetscape, improving the business mix, and allowing
taller buildings in order to facilitate a residential component. A sign of a healthy
village center is a positive mix of businesses and residential apts.
74
The concepts were well received, and were further supported by a town-wide
resident survey that also indicated interest in more upper floor housing.
Again, I would ask the Moderator to recognize the Director of Planning to use a
few slides to explain what is being proposed.
Respectfully Submitted, Sims McGrath, Jr., Chairman
ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries by the necessary 2/3 majority.
ARTICLE 24. AMEND THE ZONING BYLAWS SECTION 164-3, Applicability
To see if the Town will vote to amend the Orleans Zoning Bylaws by changing
section 164-3 to remove 164-3.C.1.iv (strikethrough language appears below to
show the proposed deletion).
§ 164-3. Applicability.
A. Noninterference. This chapter shall not interfere with or annul any other
town bylaw, rule, regulation or permit, provided that, unless specifically excepted
or where a conflict exists within the chapter itself, where this chapter is more
stringent, it shall control.
B. Conformance. Construction or operations under a building or Special
Permit shall conform to any subsequent amendment of this chapter unless the
use or construction is commenced within a period of six (6) months after the
issuance of the permit and, in cases involving construction, unless such
construction is continued through to completion as continuously and
expeditiously as is reasonable.
C. Nonconforming Structures and Uses. Legally preexisting, nonconforming
structures or uses may be continued, in accordance with G.L. c. 40A, §6, subject
to the following-
1. Alteration, Reconstruction (which shall include raze and replacement),
Extension or Structural Change (collectively "alteration") to Nonconforming
Single or Two Family Residential Structures. Nonconforming single or
two family residential structures may be altered, reconstructed, extended
or structurally changed provided that such alteration does not increase the
nonconforming nature of such structure.
(a) In the following circumstances alteration to a nonconforming single or two
family residential structure shall not be considered an increase in the
nonconforming nature of the structure and shall be allowed as of right-
i. Alteration to a structure which complies with all current setbacks, yard,
lot coverage and building height requirements but is located on a lot
with insufficient area, where the alteration will also comply with all of
said current requirements.
75
ii. Alteration to a structure which complies with all current setbacks, yard,
lot coverage and building height requirements but is located on a lot
with insufficient frontage, where the alteration will also comply with all
of said current requirements.
iii. Alteration to a structure which encroaches upon one or more required
yard or setback areas, where the alteration will comply with all current
setback, yard, lot coverage and building height requirements, the
provisions of this subsection shall apply regardless of whether the lot
complies with current area and frontage requirements.

(b) Except as otherwise set forth in (c) below, alteration to a nonconforming
single or two family residential structure that increases the nonconforming
nature of the structure may be allowed on Special Permit from the Board
of Appeals provided the Board of Appeals finds that such alteration will not
be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing
nonconforming structure.
(c) Alteration to a nonconforming single or two family residential structure in
such a manner as to-
i. create a new dimensional nonconformity, or
ii. intensify an existing nonconformity by extending further into a required
setback area, or
iii. increase the height of the structure greater than the allowed height,
shall require the issuance of a variance by the Board of Appeals and the
Special Permit finding required under subsection (b). Provided, however,
the extension of an exterior wall or surface of an existing structure at or
along the same nonconforming distance within a required setback area
shall not require the issuance of a variance.
2. Alteration, Reconstruction, Extension or Structural Change (collectively
"alteration") to Nonconforming Structures Other than Single and Two
Family Structures. Other nonconforming structures or uses may be
altered, reconstructed, extended or structurally changed on Special Permit
from the Board of Appeals if the Board of Appeals finds that such
alteration will not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood
than the existing nonconforming structure or use. The alteration of a
nonconforming structure in such manner as to create a new dimensional
nonconformity or to intensify an existing dimensional nonconformity, shall
require the Special Permit finding and the issuance of a variance by the
Board of Appeals.
76
3. Restoration. A nonconforming structure or use may be reconstructed or
reinstituted if destroyed by fire or other casualty if reconstructed or
reinstituted within a period of two (2) years from the date of the
catastrophe, or else such reconstruction must comply with this chapter.
4. Abandonment. A nonconforming use or structure which has been
abandoned or otherwise discontinued for a period of two years (2) years
shall not be reestablished, and any future use of the premises shall
conform to this chapter.
5. Reversion. Once changed to be conforming, no structure or use shall be
permitted to revert to a nonconforming structure or use.
Or to take any other action relative thereto. (2/3 vote required)
MOTION: To accept and adopt Article # 24 as printed in the warrant and the
Zoning Bylaw be so amended.
Planning Board Report:
The Planning Board held public hearings on January 23 and February 13. 48
people were present at one or both of the hearings. The board voted
unanimously to forward this article to the Town Meeting and recommend its
approval.
Last May, Town Meeting approved a comprehensive rewriting of the section that
regulates changes to nonconforming uses and structures. The old language was
overly broad and the amendment has been a substantially improvement.
However, one subsection was written to allow the intensification of
nonconforming structures without the requirement of obtaining a Special Permit
from the Zoning Board of Appeals. The intensification of a nonconforming
structure is when a structure fails to meet the Town's dimensional requirements
and is proposed to be expanded or enlarged.
A common example is a home that is too close to the lot lines, as shown on the
slide. If the owner wishes to put a 2nd floor on the structure that will also be too
close to the lot lines, the new construction will intensify the nonconformity.
The Zoning Board considered this change in the fall and asked the Planning
Board to revisit it. Upon reflection, the Planning Board agreed and the proposed
amendment would remove the section in question, thus requiring projects which
intensify the nonconforming portion of structures to go through the Special Permit
process. A fully conforming extension would still be allowed by right.
77
We think this change is in the best interests of the community and its residents.
This essentially returns to the process that was required prior to the change last
year. The Planning Board encourages your approval of the article.
Respectfully Submitted, Sims McGrath, Jr., Chairman
ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries unanimously.
ARTICLE 25. AMEND THE ZONING BYLAWS SECTION 164-22,
Modifications
To see if the Town will vote to amend the Orleans Zoning Bylaws by changing
section 164-22 to amend the following subsection-
164-22.D Projections. The projection of steps eaves, chimneys, cornices, bav,
windows, and other building elements into any required yard shall be allowed to

Or to take any other action relative thereto. (2/3 vote required)
MOTION: To accept and adopt Article # 25 as printed in the warrant and the
Zoning Bylaw be so amended.
Planning Board Report:
The Planning Board held public hearings on January 23 and February 13. 48
people were present at one or both of the hearings. The board voted
unanimously to forward this article to the Town Meeting and recommend its
approval.
This article addresses a conflict between the Zoning Bylaw and the State
Building Code concerning the encroachment of minor building components such
as steps, chimneys, and eaves into required yard setback areas. Such minor
projections have been traditionally permitted in the Town, by reference to the
State Building Code. The new State Building Code does not address the issue,
so a change to the local bylaw is appropriate.
78
This article would clarify the language so that minor projections would continue to
be allowed. To minimize impacts, steps and stoops provided for means of
egress are limited to 30 square feet in area.
Respectfully Submitted, Sims McGrath, Jr., Chairman
ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries unanimously.

Planning Board Report:
This last zoning article concerns apartment development in the Rural Business
Districts. There is some history here, and I would like to ask your indulgence for
an extra minute or two while I detail the considerations that went into this article.
Let me call your attention briefly to the Town Zoning Map on the screen.
The 2 areas seen here in green are the rural business districts of the town. There
is one in East Orleans located basically at the intersection of Beach Road and
Barley Neck Road. There is another RB District in South Orleans located near
the intersection of Routes 39 and 28.
These Districts were originally zoned Limited Business and General Business.
In 1976 the Planning Board established them as "RURAL" Business Districts that
were intended to provide opportunities for neighborhood scale goods and
services.
79
A zoning district is defined by the uses that are allowed within it. The RB districts
in Orleans allow small business establishments that serve the needs of the
immediate area. They are places to get a gallon of milk, a sandwich at lunch, or
maybe a haircut. Business retail space is limited to 1,500 s.f.. The number of
businesses is not limited, only the size of each individual business to maintain
the rural charm of these areas. This is the purpose for which the Rural Business
District was created.
Multifamily development is currently allowed by Special Permit in all of the
Business Districts. Presently apartments can be constructed at the same level of
density in the Rural Business District as they can in all other business districts, 6
units per acre. What we are learning is that this same level of density, while
appropriate in some business districts may no longer be appropriate for the Rural
Business Districts.
Over the last year, the Planning Dept. has fielded a number of comments and
concerns about the density, scale, and change of character in the Rural Business
District in East Orleans as it has undergone some re-development and recent
investment.
At the heart of the concern was the outright loss of the Rural Business District
parcels to solely residential use. This type of outright conversion is not consistent
with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
Initially the Planning Board held public hearings on January 23 and February 13
to discuss prohibiting further apartment development in these business districts.
48 people attended one or both of the hearings. Many residents supported this
prohibition, and the board received a petition supporting this as well. Other
residents urged the board to take a different approach and not totally remove the
allowance for multifamily development in the Rural Business Districts.
The Planning Board held a subsequent public hearing on the article which
appears in your Warrant. The proposed change would lower the density that
apartments can be built to in the district. At the second public hearing, held
March 13 and attended by 26 people, the board received many positive
comments, along with another petition to make no changes in the allowable
density in the district.
After the public hearings and upon reflection, the Planning Board voted
unanimously to forward the article to the Town Meeting and recommend its
approval. What is before you tonight is a compromise that addresses density
concerns while still allowing for an appropriate level of apartment development in
the future.
This amendment will allow multifamily development but at a lower density.
Business opportunities on the parcels would be preserved and mixed use
80
developments would be encouraged. This balanced approach will bring any
future project more in scale with the rural intent of the area.
Existing apartment projects are not impacted as they operate under the terms of
the Special Permits.
The Planning Board has crafted this article so that it will not affect workforce
housing. If approved, the article will not change the ability to have an apartment
accessory to a commercial use. In other words, the change will continue to allow
apartment over stores.
We feel the proposal will help protect the character of the RB district and reserve
space for the types of small businesses that are intended and encourage in the
districts.

BARNSTABLE COUNTY ASSEMBLY OF DELEGATES
The Assembly of Delegates is the legislative branch of Cape Cod Regional
Government, known of Barnstable County. Each town located within Barnstable
County is duly represented on the Assembly of Delegates with Delegates elected
by the voters in each of the municipalities where they reside.
On Tuesday, November 7, 2006, fifteen Delegates were elected to serve during
the Assembly of Delegates' tenth session for a two-year period. On January 3,
2007 the fifteen Delegates were sworn in by County Clerk, Scott Nickerson.
Charlotte B. Striebel (Yarmouth) was elected Speaker, Raymond Gottwald
(Harwich) was elected Deputy Speaker, and Diane C. Thompson, not a
Delegate, was elected Clerk of the Assembly.
The legislative powers of the County are vested in the Assembly of Delegates,
and except as provided in the Barnstable County Home Rule Charter, the acts of
the Assembly of Delegates are required to be by ordinance.
The Assembly of Delegates holds regular meetings on the first and third
Wednesday of each month at 4:00 p.m. in the Chamber of the Assembly of
Delegates, First District Courthouse, Barnstable, MA. A Delegate's vote is a
weighted vote based on the 2000 U. S. Decennial Census with Barnstable
County having the largest vote of 21.52% and Truro having the smallest vote of
0.94%.
During 2007 the Assembly of Delegates reviewed and adopted the Board of
County Commissioner's budget for fiscal year 2008. Prior to the end of Fiscal
Year 2007, it was projected that the County would end its fiscal year balanced or
that there would be a small deficit. This is due to the decrease in activity at the
Registry of Deeds. The Fiscal Year 2008 budget was adopted based on the
continued projection that revenues at the Registry of Deeds would be at a
decreased level because of slow economic conditions in the real estate industry.
The Fiscal Year 2008 budget reflects reductions in the budgets of County
departments and also reflects decreases or the elimination of funding for grant
programs based on the projection that the real estate market would remain flat.
102
The Assembly of Delegates adopted an ordinance that revised the timeline for
the submission of the County Commissioners' budget and the budget process.
The Assembly of Delegates rescinded amounts authorized in the Capital Projects
Fund as originally appropriated during various fiscal years.
An Emergency Ordinance was adopted for a supplemental appropriation for a
water quality issue that occurred at the Fire Training Academy. A subsequent
ordinance was adopted to further the cleanup operation at the Academy.
An ordinance was adopted for the purpose of funding the conversion of the gym
in the old County jail to a water testing lab for the County Health Department.
The Assembly of Delegates adopted an ordinance that established a Growth
Incentive Zone on Route 28 in Yarmouth. This was the second Growth Incentive
Zone established in Barnstable County. The first was established in the town of
Barnstable. The town of Yarmouth and the Cape Cod Commission collaborated
on the ordinance that was adopted.
An ordinance was adopted that authorized the County Commissioners to enter
into a long-term lease with Gosnold, Inc. for the premises located at 875 County
Road, Pocasset, for the purpose of the continued operation of the MICA
program.
The Assembly of Delegates received testimony from residents about a pending
bill to ban all household cleaning products which contain a phosphorous
compound in concentrations in excess of a trace quantity, with certain
exceptions, and adopted a resolution to support bill numbered S536.
Representatives from the Cape Care Coalition kept the Assembly of Delegates
informed about their work during the year, and the Assembly of Delegates
adopted a resolution that encouraged the Cape Care Coalition to work with the
Commonwealth's Connector Board and others as the Cape Care Coalition
designs a program that provides health care coverage for all.
Delegates serve on various Standing Committees. Each Standing Committee
reviews certain components of the proposed County budget. Committees
examine department budgets, review new programs, and also look at the goals
and effectiveness of each program being operated within Barnstable County.
During 2007 there were six Standing Committees. The Standing Committees
were involved with many regional issues. Below is a list of the committees and
there is a brief description of some of the issues that the committees worked on
during 2007:
• The Standing Committee on Finance, in addition to the overwhelming task
of reviewing the budget, looked at every major decision rendered by the
County that has financial implications. The Committee is kept abreast of
activity at the Registry of Deeds, funding activity within each County
103
department, and remained active throughout each year as supplemental
budgets were required.
• The Standina Committee on Economic Affairs monitored the revenues
received from the purchase of the Barnstable County license plates, and
the grants that were awarded by the County from those revenues.
• The Standina Committee on Natural Resources worked on growth
management initiatives and County wastewater management issues.
• The Standina Committee on Public Services worked on issues relating to
the jail and house of correction and the potential use of the existing
buildings within the County complex.
• The Standina Committee on Health and Human Services worked closely
with the Barnstable County Human Services Advisory Council as it
prioritized its needs for funding and examined where future funding could
be obtained. At the end of the year the committee submitted a report of its
findings and its recommendations to the County Commissioners.
• The Standina Committee on Governmental Reaulations reviewed and
recommended the adoption of the proposed ordinance that adopted a
Growth Incentive Zone in the town of Yarmouth.
A complete list of Ordinances and Resolutions adopted by the Assembly of
Delegates is available upon request.
The Clerk of the Assembly of Delegates continued to update and expand the
Web page for the Assembly. The page includes information about the Assembly
and the County in general, describes the work of the Assembly, and lists the
Assembly's regular meetings and Standing Committee meetings. The page
provides a short biography about each Delegate. The site can be accessed at

BOARD OF HEALTH
In 2007 the Board of Health devoted considerable time to the drafting of regulations
for nutrient sensitive areas. Their purpose is to minimize the increase in nitrogen
discharged into the environment through sewage disposal.
In Orleans excess nitrogen has been identified as the major contributing factor in
the declining health of the marine water environment causing a concern over the
level of nitrogen entering local groundwater and its subsequent effect on marine
estuaries. Currently the nitrogen in groundwater is steadily increasing. To
minimize this increase in nitrogen, the Board of health has been developing
regulations to address the generation of wastewater on a parcel-specific basis by
relating development to parcel size.
This approach is consistent with the town's proposed comprehensive wastewater
management plan. Public hearings were held in the afternoon and evening of
January 2008.
At the 2003 Annual Town Meeting Orleans residents voted to accept potassium
iodide pills from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Potassium Iodide
Stockpiling Program. In 2007 the Health Department received the Potassium
Iodide from the Department of Public Health and started its Potassium Iodide
Availability Program.
The Potassium Iodide is to be taken, upon the direction of the Department of
Public Health, in the event of a severe accident at a nuclear power plant from
which radioactive iodine is released into the environment. Potassium iodide, if
106
taken within a few hours of exposure, saturates the thyroid gland with stable
(non-radioactive) iodine, thus preventing or reducing the amount of radioactive
iodine that might be subsequently taken up by the thyroid.
Two pills of Potassium Iodide have been made available for each household
member, free of charge.
In cooperation with the Barnstable County Department of Health and the
Environment, the Board of Health continued its weekly surveillance of the water
quality of the town's 12 bathing beaches during the summer months. Of the 119
samples analyzed, 4 samples exceeded the bacteriological limits for bathing
beaches, resulting in two sites each being closed for two days
In 2007 the Orleans Board of Health continued to contract with the Barnstable
County Department of Health and the Environment for professional services.
These additional inspectional services have assisted the Health Department in
handling its workload more efficiently.
During 2007 the Board of Health was represented on the Water Advisory Board,
Cape Cod Regional Tobacco Control Council, Cape Cod Rabies Task Force,
Wastewater Management Steering Committee, Health Agents Coalition, Site Plan
Review Committee, and Pleasant Bay Resource Management Plan Technical
Resource Committee. The board also administered 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 investigation of communicable disease reports,
sampling of recreational waters, and attendance at Board of Health and other
meetings pertaining to public health.

McConnell and Lynn Mulkeen Perry, who assisted the Health Department under

assistance, Karen L. Bohon, D.V.M. of the Animal Hospital of Orleans, who

CABLE TV/MEDIA OPERATIONS
In June of 2007 the Board of Selectmen meetings returned to live broadcast on
Lower Cape TV Channel 17. On July 17, 2007 taping of the committees and
boards commenced for the Orleans Government Access Cable Television
Channel (Orleans 18). On August 1, 2007 Orleans 18 went live at 6:30 p.m. with
the Board of Selectmen's meeting.
Orleans 18 is intended solely to provide information to Orleans citizens about
issues, services, programs, activities, and events involving or affecting local
government and the community.
Orleans 18 operates a full schedule of programming allowing citizens to have
better access to town government. Currently nine meetings are broadcast live
and rebroadcast throughout the week. In between programming Orleans 18
broadcasts an Electronic Bulletin Board that provides programming information,
committee meetings dates / times, calendar of events for the Council on Aging
and Snow Library, and announcements from town departments, committees and
Orleans based civic groups.
In addition to the nine committees / boards that are televised on Orleans 18 there
are various programs that are shown. There are several programs from the
Council on Aging providing useful information to caregivers. Other programming
includes special meetings and events of interest to the citizens of Orleans.
The Media Operations Department looks forward to the continued growth of
Orleans 18 and utilization to better serve and inform the citizens of Orleans.

CABLE TV& TELECOMMUNICATIONS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Committee continued in its role of informing the Board of Selectmen, Town
Administrator and the general public about television and communications issues
affecting the town, and maintaining close coordination with the MIS Director for
budgeting and technology purposes and with the new Media Programs
Coordinator for television and web site operations matters.
Early in the year the Committee assisted in compiling a revised equipment list for
providing enhanced television capability for the two meeting rooms of the new
town hall. The equipment was procured and installed by late spring. In addition
to upgraded television cameras, the Nauset Room was also outfitted with digital
projection capabilities. The new television suite also includes a digital broadcast
server providing for state-of-the-art programs management and scheduling, video
and audio controls for both meeting rooms, and an electronic bulletin board for
public services notices. Another innovation was the ability to stream a "live"
video signal on the Town web site so that citizens could watch a meeting on their
110
home computers. This "live" streaming service began on April 11th with a Board
of Selectmen meeting. Archival streaming of previous Board of Selectmen
meetings has also been made possible.
On August 1St the Town activated its new Government Access cable channel ---
Orleans 18 --- to provide exclusive television coverage primarily of selected
board and commission meetings for Orleans cable television subscribers. The
policy for the new Orleans 18 channel is to inform citizens about issues, services,
programs, activities and events involving or affecting local government and the
community. Initially, Orleans 18 is providing "live" and rebroadcast television
coverage of town hall meetings of the Board of Selectmen/Park Commissioners,
Board of Health, Conservation Commission, Board of Water Commissioners,
Wastewater Management Steering Committee, Finance Committee, Community
Preservation Committee, Planning Board and Charter Review Committee.
Throughout the year three members of the Committee participated in twice-
monthly meetings in Wellfleet of the "Lower Cape Public Access Regionalization
Group", made up of volunteer members of the cable advisory committees of
Brewster, Eastham, Orleans, Provincetown, Truro and Wellfleet. In June the
LCPARG issued a report to the six towns recommending joint actions to be taken
to transition PEG (Public/Educational/Governmental) Access television
operations (Channel 17) from Comcast to Cape Cod Community Media Center, a
non-profit (501c3) PEG Access services corporation. A key recommendation
was to form a six-town Consortium to perform the negotiating process jointly. In
addition, the LCPARG facilitated gaining the services of a legal/consulting team
to support the Consortium in negotiating a standardized renewal cable contract
for the towns, including PEG Access transitioning, with Comcast. The first
coordination meetings for this overall planning and negotiating process were held
in August and November. At year end the towns completed nominating
members of the Cable Consortium. Orleans has nominated the Town
Administrator and the cable advisory committee chairman. The Consortium is
expected to convene for the first time early in 2008.

CAPE COD COMMISSION
The Cape Cod Commission provides regional services and coordinates many
projects and activities that affect all of Barnstable County. The Commission also
provides technical assistance to each Cape town. Activities involve promotion of
affordable housing and economic development, protection of coastal, water, and
natural resources; preparation of maps and analysis of geographic data;
preservation of historic resources; preparation of transportation plans and
analysis of traffic congestion and safety issues; and more.
111
The Cape Cod Commission is charged with reviewing and regulating
Developments of Regional Impact, recommending designation of Districts of
Critical Planning Concern, and preparing and overseeing the implementation of
the Regional Policy Plan, the set of planning policies and objectives that guide
development on Cape Cod.
Regional Activities in FY2007:
21st Century Task Force
Throughout the year, the Cape Cod Commission's regulations and operations
were the subject of a comprehensive external review by the 21st Century Task
Force on the Cape Cod Commission. A 19-member committee appointed in late
spring 2006 by the Barnstable County Commissioners, the Task Force evaluated
the agency's operations and made recommendations to improve its effectiveness
and relationships with towns. The Task Force met for six months and conducted
a thorough review of the Commission's planning, regulatory, technical
assistance, and management communications functions.
In December 2006, the Task Force delivered its report with more than 35
recommendations for improvements. The County Commissioners identified their
priorities among those recommendations in late April 2007, focusing on better
communications with Cape Cod municipal officials, more emphasis on the
creation of livable wage jobs when analyzing development proposals, and
working with towns to revise regional development review thresholds.
As it pursues implementation of Barnstable County's priorities, the Cape Cod
Commission will draft proposed changes to its Enabling Regulations and will
revise the Regional Policy Plan. The Commission will make progress reports to
the County Commissioners and Assembly of Delegates and meet with towns,
chambers of commerce, and other interested groups.
Planning, Technical Assistance, Training, and Regulatory Activities
In Fiscal Year 2007, the Cape Cod Commission continued to pursue regional
planning, technical assistance, and regulatory activities to help communities to
manage growth across the region. In addition, the Commission sponsored and
cosponsored training workshops for municipal officials and staff. Several
highlights of those activities include the following:
• The Cape Cod Commission continued to provide staff support to the Cape
Cod Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), which allocates federal
funds for transportation. The staff also worked with the Cape Cod Joint
Transportation Committee, discussing local, regional, state, and federal
transportation planning programs. Part of the Commission's work includes
maintaining the Regional Transportation Plan and the annual
Transportation Improvement Program, which are the primary means by
which federal and state funds are allocated to the Cape's transportation
112
projects. This year, the MPO endorsed a four-year update of the Regional
Transportation Plan and the annual update of the Transportation
Improvement Program.
As a result of these efforts, approximately $61 million of local and regional
transportation projects were eligible for funding for Federal Fiscal Years
2007 through 2010.
• The Cape Cod Commission continued its water resources protection work,
contributing to wastewater management, water quality, and water supply
initiatives.
The staff coordinated the technical advisory committee to the Cape Cod
Water Protection Collaborative and continued to participate as a technical
partner in the Massachusetts Estuaries Project (MEP), making watershed-
based nitrogen-loading assessments of land use affecting Cape Cod
embayments.
The staff also continued to promote pond and lake water-quality
stewardship. Among other studies and data analyses, the Commission
coordinated the sixth annual water quality "snapshot" involving citizen
volunteers who took 400 samples from 136 ponds and lakes this year. The
School of Marine Science and Technology at the University of
Massachusetts—Dartmouth, an MEP partner, analyzed the water samples
in their laboratories without charge; the analysis has an estimated value of
$100 per sample.
• The Cape Cod Commission continued its solid waste management
planning work this year by encouraging and organizing Cape
municipalities to make an evaluation of long-term solid waste disposal
options. One goal of the evaluation is to prepare for the possible
renegotiation of municipal contracts with the SEMASS waste-to-energy
facility in Rochester, Massachusetts, before current contracts expire
(generally 2015). Another is to explore feasible alternatives to SEMASS.
The staff sent a proposed work outline to all Cape boards of selectmen
and town managers. Each town then nominated a representative to a
contract committee that was formally appointed by the Barnstable County
Commissioners in early summer 2007. By the end of the fiscal year, the
staff had begun researching and compiling a comprehensive "Phase I"
report that begins analyzing waste disposal options. The report will be
shared and discussed with the contract committee and Cape
municipalities beginning in fall 2007.
• The Cape Cod Commission continued its affordable housing work this
year. The staff coordinated the HOME Consortium, which has brought
113
more than $9.4 million in federal funds to the region since 1994, resulting
in more than 600 affordable housing units across the Cape. The staff also
continued to manage the Soft Second Loan Program, which makes
special mortgage loans that subsidize interest costs for eligible home
buyers. Nearly 500 first-time home buyers have benefited from these
loans since 1992. The Commission also continued to offer a Technical
Assistance Program for affordable housing, which since 1995 has
provided more than $200,000 to local housing authorities, housing
nonprofit organizations, and municipalities to support capacity building,
resource development, and short-term strategic planning. The staff also
monitored Chapter 40B developments Cape wide and provided technical
comments to local boards reviewing 40B proposals in their communities.
• The Cape Cod Commission sponsored and cosponsored a variety of
training sessions and workshops for municipal officials and staff this
year, including five workshops on affordable housing issues, four
roundtable sessions and a workshop to support town committees
implementing the Community Preservation Act, three meetings of a user
group to support Geographic Information System work in towns, a
workshop on coastal hazards and floodplain management, a field trip to
a stormwater management research facility, and a conference on
wastewater management.
• The Cape Cod Commission considered more than 40 Development of
Regional Impact (DRI) proposals this year, including industrial parks,
transportation facilities, commercial and residential subdivisions, retail
developments, telecommunications towers, historic residences, municipal
facilities, utility services, new or expanded mixed-use developments, and
redevelopment projects. The Commission finalized 11 DRI decisions
during Fiscal Year 2007.
Services and Activities in the Town of Orleans, FY2007

CAPE COD REGIONAL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT
Cape Cod Regional Technical High School was established in 1973 as a public
technical high school that divides student learning time between academic classes
and technical training. For our previous school year 2006-2007 we had 686
students enrolled in 18 different technical programs from our sending school district
that comprises 12 towns from Mashpee to Provincetown with an operating budget of
$1170867903.
William N. Fisher completed his first year as the Superintendent/Director of Cape
Cod Tech and he is a 28-year veteran administrator at Cape Cod Tech. Mr. Leonard
Phelan, former Assistant Principal at Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School
completed his first year as Principal.
115
Cape Cod Regional Technical High School graduated 127 students in June of 2007
and 26 graduates plan on attending 4-year colleges, 49 graduates plan on attending
2-year colleges, 41 graduates have obtained jobs upon graduation and 6 have
joined the military.
Cape Cod Tech has been able to make significant progress in raising student
performance on the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System)
and our school again met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) with the 2006 MCAS
exam.
In addition to our renewable energy program, the Cape Cod Tech School Committee
has approved the lease/purchase of the first tri-generation system for energy
savings in a public facility in this country and installation should be completed this
fall. This system, once it is in place, will reduce our electric energy consumption by
more than 40% and our heating costs by 25-30% each year. This new concept
demonstrates Cape Cod Tech's commitment to reducing annual energy
consumption and that we are doing everything we can to reduce our energy costs.
Capital improvements for the FY `07 included replacement of Cape Cod Tech's gym
floor and the renovation of the 4t" of our 4 science laboratories.
Our Adult Education program had another excellent year under part-time
coordinator, Ron Broman, who has made a tremendous impact on the quality and
quantity in the courses we offer. For FY `07 we ran over 40 courses with
approximately 20 residents from Orleans participating during the Fall of 2006 and
Spring of 2007.
SkillsUSA is a national organization serving students enrolled in technical programs.
This year our students brought home 13 gold, 11 silver, and 4 bronze medals in the
district competition, 3 gold, 5 silver, and 7 bronze in the state competition, and in the
national competition, we brought home a silver medal in Marine Service Technology
and placed 5t" out of 35 national Web Design teams.
Cape Cod Tech provides money saving projects for our district and community and
these projects not only save thousands of dollars, but also provide our students with
real life work experience in a supervised setting. For the 2006-2007 school year, the
total estimated value of the savings to our sending towns from work completed by
Cape Tech's technical shops was in excess of$869,000.

CAPE LIGHT COMPACT
The Cape Light Compact was formed in 1997 following two years of study and
votes of town boards of selectmen and town council. It is organized through a
formal intergovernmental agreement signed by all 21 member towns and
116
Barnstable and Dukes counties. The purpose of the Cape Light Compact is to
advance the interests of consumers in a competitive electric supply market,
including the promotion of energy efficiency. Each participating municipality has a
representative on the Compact Governing Board, which sets policy and works with
staff, technical and legal support to advance the Cape Light Compact programs.
POWER SUPPLY
In 2007, the Cape Light Compact (Compact) provided energy to residents and
businesses in accordance with a competitive electricity supply contract
negotiated by the Compact with ConEdison Solutions. Currently, prices are
approximately 14% to 15% lower than they were in the beginning of 2006. The
Compact continues to work towards stable pricing for consumers in an
environment of extreme price volatility.
As of December 2007, the Compact had 4,899 electric accounts in the Town of
Orleans on its energy supply. Over $26,000 in savings were achieved in 2007 for
these accounts, when compared to the default service price offered by Nstar.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
From January to October 2007, rebates and other efficiency incentive programs
provided to the town of Orleans by the Compact totaled approximately $219,703
brought savings to 275 participants of $162,933 or about 814,667 kilowatt-hours
of energy saved for 2007.
Funding for the energy efficiency programs' (i.e. energy audits for homes and
businesses, rebates on the purchase of energy efficient appliances and energy
education in our schools) comes from a monthly customer "energy conservation"
charge ($0.0025 cents multiplied by the number of kilowatt hours used during the
month) that appears on each customer's electric bill.
Other Cape Light Compact Efforts Include:
• The Cape Light Compact continues to support education to the school in
town including Lighthouse Charter School and Orleans Elementary School
through teacher training, materials, CFL fundraisers and classroom visits.
• One PV system as part of the "Solarize Our Schools" program at the
Orleans Elementary School produced over 2,692 kWh of electricity and
avoided over 4,646 Ibs of COz from entering the atmosphere.
• Ten Low-Income homes were retrofitted for a reduction in energy usage
and increased comfort.
• The Town Hall Project received over $75,000 in incentives for energy
efficiency improvements which resulted in a 58,093 kWh annual reduction
in electricity consumption. Additionally, the Water Department received
$45,586 in efficiency upgrades to their pumps and motors.

CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE
The Town of Orleans adopted its Home Rule Charter on May 6, 1987. Since
1999, an amendment to the Charter (6-9-2) requires the Board of Selectmen to
appoint a Charter Review Committee every seven years consisting of seven
members, and "shall charge the Committee to review the provisions of the
Charter and report any amendments deemed advisable." The 2007 charge to the
CRC outlines specific tasks, and is to "present final recommendations for
amendments to the May 2008 Annual Town Meeting, in accordance with M.G.L.
Ch. 43B § 10."
The CRC met for the first time on January 18th, 2007, and agreed to meet on the
first and third Thursdays of each month. Harry Mirick was voted as Chair and
Gail Meyers Lavin as Vice-Chair. Pat Fallender, Jim Hadley, Norris Shook, Marty
Rich, and Job Taylor agreed to share the recording of Minutes and serve as
rotating Clerks.
Agendas and updated information regularly appeared on the Town website and
in media releases. Once the Town's Channel 18 went online, meetings were
also shown live and repeated regularly.
As of December 20, 2007, the CRC has completed 20 meetings and received
more than 300 suggestions. The Committee publicly thanks Norris Shook, whose
resignation was accepted with regret in September when he found that his new
job's responsibilities limited his ability to participate fully. He established a
chapter spreadsheet format, and then catalogued and kept track of all
suggestions received. This made it possible for the Committee to use the
spreadsheets as a framework from which to eventually vote. A binder of all
suggestions and rationales was also compiled by chapter for cross-reference.
The Committee received clearance to continue with six members, and agreed a
process for managing close or tied votes.
All multi-member bodies and citizens were invited to submit suggestions in
writing or by email, to attend the 7 PM Public Comment period, or seek specific
time on the Agenda. These invitations were publicized on the Town website and
in regular releases to all appropriate local newspapers and radio stations. The
Chair also requested citizen input from Channel 18 viewers at each meeting. The
CRC received comments from the Board of Selectmen collectively and
individually, the Planning Board and Director of Planning, the Finance
Committee, the Wastewater Management Steering Committee, the Town
Administrator, Town Moderator, Town Clerk, the Fire and Police Chiefs,
members of the Fire Department, and individual citizens.
Each Committee member reviewed, reported and began "first cut"
recommendations on assigned chapters through the Fall. Votes of "NFC" (No
Further Consideration) have begun, after which the remainder ("Pending") will be
deliberated and previewed at the first Public Hearing, scheduled for Thursday,
118
January 31St, 2008 at 7 pm. Comments received there will be further deliberated
until the Warrant deadline for submission.

CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Citizens Advisory Committee is charged with being the link to the
townspeople and to civic and business groups for communicating relevant
wastewater management issues and planning, including provisions of the
Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan (CWMP) as it is being developed
by the Wastewater Management Steering Committee. To maintain close
coordination with the WMSC and the Town's consultant/engineering contractor
for wastewater planning, CAC members regularly attended WMSC meetings.
The Committee assisted the WMSC with publicity for the public hearing held in
February on the "Needs Assessment" milestone of the Draft CWMP. A notice
was drafted and handed out at various locations, newspaper advertisements
were arranged for, and cable television coverage was set up. The Committee
also prepared and conducted several follow-up "Needs Assessment" briefings for
the public in the spring and summer, using the contractor's visual aids first
presented at the February public hearing. Approximately 175 members of the
public attended these briefings at Snow Library and the Senior Center.
In the fall, the Committee teamed with the Orleans Pond Coalition to set up a
task force to plan a fertilizer reduction public education campaign. The task force
in November produced a report containing recommendations for structuring a
comprehensive fertilizer reduction public education effort. At year end the
proposed plan is under review for refinement and for developing implementation
options in order to be ready for roll-out by spring 2008.

CIVIL DEFENSE
I am pleased to report that Orleans experienced a relatively quiet weather year
during 2007. The prediction for the season was calling for an above average
number of hurricanes and tropical storms and that did not materialize.
Nonetheless we were prepared with our shelter needs at the Town Office
Building and we designated the Elementary School as our secondary and
primary shelter. New Red Cross shelter supplies were received; cots, blankets,
pillows, water, and personal packs for forty-eight people are now stored at the
school.
119
In early November we were hit by Hurricane Noel and experienced extremely
high winds, high surf and several inches of rain. Several thousand households
on Cape Cod and several neighborhoods in Orleans faced several nights without
power, and at least two house fires on Cape Cod were indirectly blamed on the
remnants of the hurricane.
The storm struck New England with just a glancing blow, bringing down tree
limbs and knocking out power to 80,000 homes. State officials reported no
serious injuries or deaths. NStar said 17,000 customers remained without power.
As a result of Communications not only for emergency personnel but also the
ability to communicate to all citizens is the most important tool we have. Without
the ability to communicate dangerous situations, keep citizens informed of
progress being made and giving needed advice on how to weather emergencies,
we are not doing our job adequately. To accomplish this, town officials are
working together to bring an emergency telephone system to Orleans. We are
also meeting regularly with radio stations so that there is at least one station up
and running broadcasting emergency notifications and we are certainly speaking
with citizens as to their observations and suggestions.
Emergency plans for the town are constantly being updated and developed
following training sessions by the Massachusetts Emergency Management
Agency.
All town employees have been trained to the required Incident Command System
and National Incident Management level standards as required by MEMA and
FEMA and we continue to meet our state and federal preparedness requirements
by participating in the Barnstable County Regional Emergency Preparedness
Committee that meets monthly.
I would like to thank all of the town departments for their continued support and
assistance in time of emergency. This truly is an exceptional town where all
departments work together toward a common goal.

Jeffrey J. Roy, Interim Director
COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE
The Town of Orleans adopted the Community Preservation Act (CPA) in May
2005. The Town receives funding for CPA activities from the 3% surtax on
residential tax bills and a state match up to 100% of the surtax revenues subject
to state fund availability. CPA funds are to be spent on open space, community
housing, historic preservation and recreation projects that contribute toward
achieving the goals of the Committee's Preservation Plan and the Town's Local
Comprehensive Plan. The nine-member Community Preservation Committee,
created by statute and local bylaw, implements the requirements of the CPA,
120
administers the project selection process, and awards funds to eligible projects
subject to approval at Town Meeting.
The Committee conducted its second full calendar year of business in 2007 after
being formed in September 2005 following voter approval of the transfer of the
Land Bank to the Community Preservation Act in the spring of 2005. Important
activities of the Committee in 2007 were-
1. The Committee began 2007 with 14 projects in various stages of
completion. These projects were approved by votes at the May 2006
Annual Town Meeting and the October 2006 Special Town Meeting.
2. During 2007, 4 projects were completed and the finances closed. These
four included restoring historic photographs, duplicating oral histories,
replacing the roof on the Orleans Historical Society Meeting House, and
renovating Sea Call Farm.
3. One project, replacing the roof on the French Cable Museum, was not
funded at the request of the applicant and was therefore closed out.
4. The Committee recommended seven eligible projects for full or partial
funding using estimated Fiscal Year 2008 CPA funds to the May Annual
Town Meeting. The Town Meeting, through Article 4, approved $705,496
to pay interest and principal on existing Land Bank debt, $226,717 to fund
the seven projects, $254,283 as reserves for future projects, and $49,000
as Committee expenses for FY '08.
5. As 2008 begins, all sixteen projects are being monitored to insure they
remain on budget within the approved scope and to insure that the grant
recipients make satisfactory progress toward completion. The Committee
is also looking to initiate a study of the stock of community housing in
Orleans and the methods to effectively increase such housing.
State match funds are expected to be less than 100% in 2008 as the total state
funds available are negatively impacted by lower fees at the Registry of Deeds and
more towns opt into the CPA program. The Committee looks forward to wisely
using the decreasing amount of state funds to support projects that will preserve
and maintain the beauty and character of Orleans.

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.
121
Reviewing and Approving Wetland Projects
Any activity that alters a wetland resource area or the 100 foot buffer to the
resource area, including filling, construction, renovation, pruning, removing or
planting vegetation, must be filed with the Conservation Commission prior to
initiation. Wetland resource areas encompass wetland vegetation, coastal banks,
dunes, Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage and Areas of Critical Environmental
Concern (ACEC) among others. 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
2007, the Conservation Commission heard 68 Notices of Intent, 5 Amended
Orders, 4 Requests for Determination and 156 Administrative Reviews.
Management of Open Space Areas
The Orleans Conservation Commission is responsible for the management of the
Town's Conservation Areas. Most of these areas are available to the public and
offer passive recreational opportunities with trails and scenic views. In 2007, the
Conservation Commission continued to support the Parks Department's efforts to
improve naturalized areas including clearing trails after storm damage. The Town
has purchased additional acreage at John Kenrick Woods. Some invasive species
removal by an independent contractor on Sea Call Farm and Meadow on the Cove
was funded by a Barnstable County Land Management Grant.
Participation in Work Groups
During 2007, Conservation Commission members and staff participated in
numerous work groups, including Wastewater Management, Water Quality
Monitoring, Pleasant Bay Resource Management Alliance with additional Salt
Marsh Monitoring, the Community Preservation Committee, and the Cape &
Islands Conservation Commission Network in Barnstable.
Meeting Schedule
The Conservation Commission meets in the mornings the first four Tuesdays of
every month. New hearings are advertised the first and third weeks of the month.

COUNCIL ON AGING
Mission:
The Orleans Council on Aging (COA) functions as a human service organization
to enhance the quality of life for all residents of Orleans who are at least 60 years
old. The COA provides assistance, information on available resources, health
services, referrals to community agencies, programs and recreational activities.
Particular emphasis promoting healthy aging and full participation by all is made.
122
The 2007 year has addressed a much needed element of our mission statement:
"to provide our senior citizens with recreational activities to promote healthy
aging". A landscape master plan for Orleans Senior Center: Living Healthy Lives
through the Landscape has been developed through the co-chairmanship of
Emerson Davis and the master plan created by Sharon Davis. The master plan
is "intended to powerfully enhance well-being, whether physically or mentally,
through the hopefulness that an individual can gain by being in nature, observing
nature or actively working in a natural surrounding."
Through grants, including Elder Services Title IIIB (transportation - $6,000) and
Elder Services Title IIIE (caregiver - $5,000), the State Formula Grant (Outreach
Worker and Wellness Facilitator - $17.910), the special funding of Elizabeth
Garner Martin Fund of Cape Cod Foundation, Hess and Helyn Kline Foundation
($2,000 for The Day Center), and $11,250 generously provided by our Friends of
the Orleans Council on Aging for our new WEB site, the COA has continued to
be an important and necessary service to Orleans. Additional funds, which in
most cases are dedicated to specific areas and needs, were realized through the
Anslow Trust Gift Account, the Moak Scholarship Fund, the North Gift Account

COMMISSION ON DISABILITIES
The 1995 Board of Selectmen charge to the Commission on Disabilities reads.
"The Orleans Commission on Disabilities mission is to assure that all people in
Orleans have an equal opportunity to participate in all functions involving living,
working, and enjoying recreation activities. The Commission will work towards
this end by informing, educating, monitoring, and advising the public, including
the business community and the town administration...
The purpose of the Commission shall be to cause the full integration and
participation of people with disabilities in the Town of Orleans, such Commission
shall; (1) research local problems of people with disabilities; (2) advise and assist
municipal officials and employees in ensuring compliance with state and federal
laws and regulations that affect people with disabilities; (3) coordinate or carry
out programs designed to meet the problems of people with disabilities in
coordination with programs of the Massachusetts office on disability; (4) review
and make recommendations about policies, procedures, services, activities and
facilities of departments, boards and agencies of the Town of Orleans as they
affect people with disabilities; (5) provide information, referrals, guidance and
technical assistance to individuals, public agencies, businesses and
organizations in all matters pertaining to disability; (6) coordinate activities of
other local groups organized for similar purposes; and (7) to help raise
awareness and sensitivity to the needs of the people who are disabled."
Finally, the Commission charge requires that "a majority of said commission
members shall consist of people with disabilities." 2007 saw three Commission
members resign for health reasons, frustrating a regular working function.
However, 2007 was a year with considerable accomplishment. We assisted the
Town in its design revisions to the renovated Town Hall. At our recommendation,
and with the assistance of Selectman Jon Fuller and the Town Hall Building
Superintendent, the main entrance was retrofitted with automatic door openers,
which not only facilitated disabled use of the facility, but facilitated its use by
elderly patrons as well.
124
The Commission also reviewed the proposed Orleans Academy Theater design
addition for compliance with accessibility requirements of the Architectural
Access Board (AAB). If funding for this project is successful, the new building
additions will greatly facilitate accessibility to the second floor theater space and
provide additional handicap parking spaces for disabled placard patrons.
The Commission in 2007 also was successful in arranging for rectification of the
State-funded Depot Park Improvement Project, which had failed to provide the
curb cut to facilitate wheelchair and handicap scooter access between Old
Colony Way and Main Street. Failure to originally construct that curb cut had
resulted in the need for wheelchairs and scooters to use the busy street around
the intersection of the two public ways. While it was a State-funded project, the
town nevertheless was instrumental in accomplishing needed re-construction to
allow safe wheelchair access between condominiums on Main Street and Old
Colony. The Commission was extremely grateful for the town's good offices.
The Commission has much to learn from other town organizations. There are
many resources available to the Commission, which it needs to familiarize itself
with and utilize. Of particular importance are other town committees and
organizations representing the business community, like the Orleans Chamber of
Commerce and the Nauset Rotary.
To that end, the Commission was enormously pleased, at a monthly networking
meeting of the chamber, to confer its first Certificate of Recognition to the new
Snow's Home and Garden during 2007. The new Snows had come to our
attention several times by disabled patrons who praised its accessibility and
customer-centric business attitude. Mr. Sidney Snow, Jr. was most gracious in
his acceptance of the certificate.
During 2007, the Commission met with other business, government and non-
profit leaders with knowledge about local and regional disability issues. The
most important of those have been with Orleans residents who are disabled or
who have experienced some degree of functional impairment as a result of injury,
developmental impairment or aging issues.
2008 brings substantial new challenges to the Commission. With needed new
membership and a greater capacity for community involvement, we anticipate
more substantial efforts to monitor potential abuse of handicap parking,
especially during the tourist season, and take whatever enforcement actions we
can effectuate. We intend to work closely with the Police Chief and the Board of
Selectmen to those ends. However, no measurable changes to potential abuses
of handicap parking can realistically occur without wide citizen acceptance and
support.
To that end, the Commission will solicit for town volunteers to a Friends of the
Commission On Disabilities organization. We know that more voices are needed
125
to make the case for facilities, services and planning for disabled, as well as
able-bodied persons. The Commission will also become more active in regional
linkages with other municipal commissions and regional entities. Ideas that work
elsewhere could be useful for Orleans. That is the purpose of networking.
Many stories emerge from 2007 that, despite transitions to diminished capacity,
provide us all with greater knowledge that strength of spirit and belief in
community can overcome emotional isolation or physical and mental impairment.
Growth in community-giving efforts and in the spiritual strength to live life as fully
as possible is the consistent backdrop to these stories; the individuals, families
and groups who have surmounted their difficulties and whose examples enhance
our own lives.
The Orleans Commission on Disabilities looks forward to 2008. We hope to be
able to bring more detailed examples of community service to your attention in
next year's report. Thank you.
Respectfully submitted,
Jon Gilmore, Chairman
Orleans Commission on Disabilities
CULTURAL COUNCIL
The Orleans Cultural Council, a member of the Massachusetts Cultural Council
(MCC), promotes the arts and humanities in the Town of Orleans. With funding
from the MCC, the Council awards grants to artists, performers, musicians,
worthy organizations, and individual projects geared towards the arts,
humanities, and interpretive sciences. Local artists are encouraged and invited to
participate in Council events and to display art during scheduled shows in the
Town Hall gallery.
The Council awarded more than $4,000 to individual and group projects during
the 2008 fiscal year.

FINANCE COMMITTEE
In accordance with the Orleans Home Rule Charter, Chapter 8, the Town
Moderator appoints the nine members of the Orleans Finance Committee. As an
independent committee, we initiate fiscal reviews and make recommendations on
all Town Meeting Warrant articles having financial implications.
126
As specified in the Town Charter, a number of public hearings were conducted
with the Board of Selectmen to solicit your priorities for upcoming fiscal years and
to review the upcoming Operating Budget and Capital Plan. Further, the
Committee managed and authorized transfers of funds to town departments for
extraordinary, out-of-budget expenses, from a Reserve Fund totaling $85,000.
We organized two-person teams to review department operations and related
budgets. Committee members monitored key committees and all Board of
Selectmen meetings, to be aware of issues that will have a financial impact on
the town.
To prepare for the 2007 Annual and Special Town Meetings we reviewed all
articles and when necessary, we met with department heads and committee
chairpersons to discuss fiscal issues. The Finance Committee voted on all
articles and explained our positions at the Town Meetings.
Throughout the year the Finance Committee focused on increasing dialogue with
the Town Administrator and the Board of Selectmen resulting in a broadening of the
Budget development process for FY 2009 to include departmental presentations on
new requirements. The purpose of this was to develop a new prioritization of
departmental requirements and identify areas that have been neglected. During
August we participated in meetings with the Board of Selectmen where we
identified areas of the Budget Policy process we felt required in-depth analysis.
The Committee's special emphases for the calendar year 2007 were as follows:
o Review the Town Building maintenance budgets and the condition
of the various town buildings.
• Analyze School expenses within current environment of flat or
declining enrollment and increasing labor costs.
• Analyze manpower employed versus the supervision required to
manage the various projects in the Highway Department.
• Review the Capital Improvement Plan for need, accuracy, timelines
and impact on future budgets.
These efforts will continue in calendar year 2008.

Alfred R. Turner IV, Chairman
FIRE/RESCUE DEPARTMENT
The following is the report for the Fire/Rescue Department for 2007.
Major upgrades in the infrastructure of the Fire/Rescue Department took place
over 2007. The fire station was constructed twenty years ago, and as a result, we
continue to replace many of the systems within the building. We have now
127
replaced all of the heating systems within the office space and garages with more
efficient furnaces. The emergency generator has been rebuilt and kitchen
appliances upgraded. The exterior trim was repainted by members of the
Sheriffs Department work release program and many driveway drainage
structures were rebuilt and repaved. A mold problem due to water leaks was
repaired in two of the offices following last spring's three day Nor'easter. The
replacement of the roof shingles and a feasibility study to remodel/expand the
building is in future budgeting plans.
Two separate apparatus committees each worked for over twelve months
studying and designing a new larger chassis ambulance and a tower-ladder truck
for use by the firefighters. Technology changes, demographics of the town, and
the future layout of the village center district entered into the design concerns of
these two vehicles. Town meeting approved the funding of both vehicles and we
look forward to their deliveries in the spring of 2008. Once the new tower-ladder
is in service, the 1974 Maxim aerial ladder now used by the department and will
be sold. Our 1966 Mack pumper was sold this fall to the town of Cummington,
Ma. to be used as a reserve fire engine by four towns.
Following the receipt of a $5,300 Firefighter Safety Equipment grant, many of our
self contained breathing apparatus units were upgraded and new combustible
gas detectors were purchased. We are investigating the use of an electronic
patient reporting system that will be integrated with Cape Cod Hospital and our
state reporting system. Funding for this system will be sought in the near future.
The town received a thirty foot spill control trailer due to a legal settlement
following an oil spill in Buzzards Bay a few years ago. Training was provided for
the thousands of dollars of equipment included with the trailer for fire and
harbormaster department members.
Training continues to be a major focus in the fire service. As part of numerous
regional teams, many department members trained on the use of the Mass
Decontamination Unit and with the Mid-Cape Dive Team. We have certified many
department officers to the required FEMA levels of Incident Command System
and Incident Management System training. Firefighter Geof Deering received his
forty hour Student Awareness of Fire Education (SAFE) certification and
continues to teach CPR and first-aid to the public.
Through the Massachusetts and International Fire Chiefs' associations funding
for the SAFE and Fire Act Grant programs was restored in the state and federal
budgets. These serve as a form of local aid that each community can benefit
from.
A Wildfire Report was issued by the Cape Cod Commission on the fire load
management within the four hundred acre water shed. A system of controlled
burns and mechanical removal of brush has begun in selective areas.
128
Many personnel changes have taken place within the department this year.
Following the retirement of Deputy Chief Richard Harris after 33 years of service
to the town, Captain William Quinn Jr. was promoted to the Deputy Fire Chief
position. Firefighter Robert Felt was appointed to the position of Captain/Fire
Inspector and Thomas Pellegrino was hired as a Firefighter/paramedic.
As a member of the Orleans Fire Department for the past thirty-five years, fire
chief for the past eight years, I retired from the department at the end of
December. It has been a privilege and an honor to have served the residents and
visitors of Orleans over my career. Many changes have taken place in
educational requirements, equipment standards, and the overall demands of a
department that now deals with all emergency services, much more than the
"fire" department I joined in 1972. There are many memorable events and
certainly tragedies that took place over the years and I can only hope that
lessons were learned and our knowledge and efficiency can improve in the
future.
I would like to thank all of the town department managers and their staff, Town
Administrator John Kelly, and the Board of Selectmen for their continued support.
I am proud to have been associated will all of my brothers and sisters of the fire
service in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, across the U.S., and particularly
right here in Orleans. Thanks to all of you for your support, stay safe.
Respectfully submitted,
Steven P. Edwards, Fire Chief
Since Deputy Harris left in July, Chief's vacation period since August, an
extended on the job injury and two lengthy medical absences we have seen the
department members once again place the Town first and spend many extra
hours in the station and on calls. I extend my personal thanks for a job well done
and the many additional duties many have taken on.
Although there are many noteworthy calls during the year one stands out as a
shining moment where two Orleans Departments shared a response and a
happy outcome. Aiding in Nauset Inlet to the Eastham Fire Department our
Harbor Master Farber and Capt. Pike located a kayaker lost in thick fog. With the
aid of a GPS reading Dawson placed the rescue boat within 15 feet of the cold
and tired man. After delivery to the Town boat ramp he was reunited with his
family.

FOURTH OF JULY COMMITTEE
The Orleans Fourth of July Celebration began with fireworks at Rock Harbor on
Sunday, July 1, 2007. The Parade was on Wednesday July 4, 2007. The
weather was beautiful for both events.
The parade, this year, was dedicated to Ken Alman who has been a Parade
Master and Committee member for too many years to count. The Committee has
truly missed Ken's expertise and willingness to take on many aspects of
responsibilities involved with the celebration.
The theme of this year's parade was WHALES TAILS AND LIBERTY SAILS. The
winner of the theme contest was Hannah Montoya, a fourth grader at the Orleans
Elementary School. The theme offered many variations and creative
interpretations for parade entries.
The Grand Marshall this year was Sue Christie. Sue was honored for her tireless
work on several Town Committees and many years on the Parade Committee.
Sue has been responsible for the wonderful decorations on the various
Town and band parade participants. Her dedication and ability to organize a
"crew" has been a mainstay for the success of many parades.
We had many Parade entries and were happy to see new participants as well as
many returnees. The winners of various entries were:
Business; The Farm, Animal Hospital of Orleans and Willy's Gym
General; The Stewart Family, Nauset Newcomers and the Church of the Holy
Spirit. The antique cars are always a popular part of the parade. Next year we
are hoping to add more categories.
Next year's Parade will be on Friday July 4 and the fireworks on Saturday July 5.

HARBORMASTER/SHELLFISH DEPARTMENT
The Shellfish & Harbormaster Department is responsible for the oversight of
virtually all activities around the town's shoreline and waterways. The
Department consists of three full time employees and three seasonal patrol boat
operators. Our work includes such activities as: issuance of 1,325 mooring
permits, maintaining mooring waiting lists, issuance of 75 dockage agreements,
issuance of commercial shellfish licenses, natural resource management and
planning, private aquaculture management, maintenance of town landings, dock
and pier repair and construction, shellfish propagation, setting and hauling of 122
aids to navigation, vessel pump-out service, marine animal rescue, herring run
maintenance and restoration, marine rescue, emergency towing and
131
enforcement of all federal, state, and local laws, bylaws and regulations
governing boating and shell fishing.
Specific projects for the year were as follows:
• Shellfish Propagation Program. During 2007, our Department maintained
over 1,100,000 quahaugs on the town grant site located in Town Cove
and planted 700,000 quahaugs obtained from a local hatchery into the
waters of the Nauset and Pleasant Bay estuaries. We maintained
650,000 juvenile oysters that we anticipate planting in the wild in the
spring of 2008. In addition, we worked with the Barnstable County
Cooperative Extension, the Friends of Lonnies Pond and the Mill Pond
Preservation Association in the planting of over 1,000,000 juvenile "remote
set" oysters. Our success with oyster culture during the past two years
has been exceptional and it is our intent to continue with our work with this
species.
• Rock Harbor Bulkhead Reconstruction. Beginning in December,
reconstruction of a portion of the main bulkhead located at Rock Harbor
commenced. We anticipate that construction will be completed by April of
2008 and welcome the improvements in design of this facility.
I would like to express my sincerest thanks to those residents and town
employees who so greatly assisted us during 2007. Specifically, I would like to
thank Parks & Beaches Superintendent Paul Fulcher, Fire Chief Steve Edwards,
Deputy Fire Chief Bill Quinn, Police Chief Jeff Roy and Highway Superintendent
Mark Budnick and their staff for their constant help and support in our efforts to
keep the shoreline and waterways of Orleans safe and sound. All of us here at
the Department once again 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
Gerry Dorman for his dedicated efforts at preserving the marine resources of the
town. I wish to express my gratitude to my assistants, Gardner Jamieson and
Greg Normandy, for their hard work and overall commendable performance in
their respective positions.
Respectfully submitted,
Dawson L. Farber IV
HIGHWAY/TRANSFER STATION TREE DEPARTMENT
In 2007, the Departments were challenged to meet the responsibilities and
demands expected by the Town residents and Administration. It was due to the
dedication, ingenuity and resilience of all the staff that the Departments were
able to continue to provide the best level of service possible. I would like to thank
all the staff for their hard work and dedication.
132
Hiahwav Department:
The major projects managed by the department in 2007 include the following:
• Skaket Beach Road Culvert Replacement /Little Namskaket Creek
Wetlands Restoration Project ( 90 % completed)
• Town Cove Stormwater Discharge Pipe/Installation of Tide Gate Valve
(100% Completed)
• Route 28/Finlay Road/Pond Road Intersection Project (on-going)
• Route 39 Drainage and Road Improvement (98% completed)
• Drainage Improvements on Meadow Way (100% completed)
• Stormwater Remediation/Drainage Improvements at the Gibson Rd
stormwater discharge into Town Cove
• Reclamation and repaving of 1,300 ft of Hopkins Lane (100%
completed)
• Design for road Improvements on West Rd.
• Design for road improvements on Main St (Main St and Tonset Rd
intersection to Meeting House Rd)
• Completed the final paving of Seamist Drive
• The Department completed the assessment of the final on third of the
roads for the Pavement Management Program. This information is
critical in assisting the Department to develop an efficient and cost
effective plan to manage the maintenance of the roadways
The Highway Department is also responsible for the maintenance and
improvement of approximately 54 miles of roadway and roadsides, the repair and
maintenance of related storm water drainage systems, and the repair and
maintenance of over 50 town vehicles, heavy equipment and tools.
More specific details of the department's activities in FY2007 are as follows:
• The Highway Department installed drainage improvements on Salty Ridge
and on Giddiah Hill Road.
• The department continued to maintain and repair the town roadways.
Significant time and effort was spent addressing potholes, areas of
133
deteriorated pavement and the repair and improvement of berming and
curbing.
• The Preventative Maintenance Program continued in FY2007 with crack
sealing work being done on several town roads.
• The department spent a significant amount of time, effort and expense
addressing deteriorated catch basins and manholes.
• The department continued to maintain the town drainage system. This
work included cleaning of over 800 catch basins and leaching pits. The
department removed an estimated 300 tons of material from drainage
structures.
• The Department continued to provide repair and maintenance services to
the town's vehicular and heavy equipment fleet. This involves over 50
vehicles and pieces of heavy equipment, construction tools and various
hand tools. With the lack of an adequate facility to maintain larger
equipment, this task was again very challenging in FY2007. The current
facility is undersized therefore the maintenance of larger trucks and
equipment was performed either outside or at the Highway facility on
Bayridge Road. It was only due to the resourcefulness of the mechanic
and the staff that the department has been able to continue to effectively
provide these services.
During Winter Operations the Highway Department is responsible for preventing
and addressing icing conditions and the clearing snow from roadways, town
parking and 7 miles of sidewalks. 2007 was a somewhat mild winter with the
department responding to 18 recorded separate events.
My sincere gratitude goes to all the department staff and Town personnel that
assisted in responding to storms throughout the winter.
The Department acts as the Town's representative on the Cape Cod Joint Traffic
Committee and the Organization of SEMASS Communities. The Department also
sits on the Site Plan Review Committee and the Parking and Traffic Study
Committee.
134
Transfer Station:
The Transfer Station is responsible for the management and disposal of the
Solid Waste generated by the Town.
• Solid Waste generated by the 127,400 vehicles that passed through the
Transfer Station in 2007are as follows:

paint (estimated 1,000gallons), waste oil (1,925 gallons), used oil filters
(0.5 tons), gasoline (534 gallons), and antifreeze (50 gallons).
The Transfer Station also sponsored the Household Hazardous Waste Collection
event again in 2007. A summary of the materials collected during the event is
available at the Transfer Station or on the Town website.
In 2007, the Department also continued to operate and maintenance of the
Landfill Methane Gas Collection system. The system consists of a series of wells
135
and piping connected to a flare system that burns the Methane gas being
produced by the rubbish under the Landfill Cap. A significant amount of time,
effort and funding is required for this task.
The staff of the Transfer Station is available to discuss any questions or
comments concerning solid waste disposal issues.
Tree Department:
The Tree Warden (Municipal Arborist) Dan Connolly continues to improve and
maintain the Towns Urban Forest. The duties and responsibilities associated with
roadside trimming, tree planting, and tree maintenance are year round tasks. In
addition to routine tasks there are unforeseen events that impact work plans.
Recent natural events like the Noel storm and the caterpillar infestation have
impacted efforts to keep up with regular work. N'STAR finished trimming 2 large
distribution circuits in town this year. There has been renewed effort to gain
control of roadside cutback with progress in removing lower underbrush.
• The Town of Orleans has received the Tree City USA award from the
Massachusetts DCR Urban and Community Forestry Program. This is the
10th consecutive year that we have received this prestigious award.
• The Tree Department wrapped up a long term project on bike path this year.
After years of working with the Orleans Improvement Association, Snows
Department Store, MA DCR, and Bikeways Committee we finally put the
finishing touches on Main St crossing. The very last details included granite
curbs installed by OIA and plants and fencing provided by DCR. The Tree
Department will continue to work on bike path with cooperation from
interested parties.
• Ameri-Corp intern put finishing touches on 1St phase of Tree Inventory.
Unfortunately the request for another intern this year was turned down. The
goal is to complete a full inventory will continue in house.
• The Department continued its ongoing roadside cutback program. The
pruning and 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 public
travel and maintenance. The long term plan is to phase out inappropriate
vegetation and replace with suitable maintenance friendly plants...
• The Tree Department also acted as contact for coordination with the
AmeriCorps Volunteer Program. The AmeriCorps Program contributed over
5000 hours of labor planting trees and cutting out invasive plants. This
Department thanks the AmeriCorps Program and all the volunteers for their
support.
136
I would like to again thank all the personnel in all Town Departments, the many
Volunteer Committees, and the residents of Orleans for their cooperation and
assistance during the year. Special thanks go to the staff of the Highway
Department, Transfer Station, and Tree Department for their hard work and
dedication.

HISTORICAL COMMISSION
The Commission met on six occasions during the year to conduct business.
1. Six hearings were held in conformance with Chapter 106 of the Code of the
Town of Orleans: the Demolition of Historic Structures By-Law. The subjects and
results of these meetings were as follows:
January 30
• Discussion of a request from Mary Fritz to demolish a portion of a house
at 168 Rock Harbor Rd. Based on the age, design (including an historic
barrel vault) and good quality of the summer kitchen portion of the
structure the Commission voted to recommend that Ms. Fritz reconsider
her plans and preserve the summer kitchen. Failing this, the Commission
noted that a formal hearing would be required and the Demolition Delay
By-Law would be invoked. Ms. Fritz opted to put the house up for sale
and move to a new location.
• Discussion of a request by builder Steve Smith to demolish a kitchen el at
47 Cedar land Rd. The Commission allowed demolition to proceed based
on the poor condition of the el and the relative unimportance of this portion
of the building to the ensemble.
October 19
• Request for demolition of portions of a building at 48 Nauset Road. The
house dates to approximately 1920; the portions proposed for demolition
were shown to be of a much later date. The commission voted to allow the
demolition to proceed.
• Preliminary request by Richard Eble, on behalf of the owners of a house at
123 Rock Harbor Road for advice concerning the demolition of the house.
The Commission visited the house and determined it to be one of the most
important structures in the Rock Harbor area. The applicant was advised
that any formal demolition request would occasion an invocation of the
Demolition Delay By-Law.
137
December 14
• Request for demolition of portions of a house at 16 Honeysuckle Lane.
The Commission reviewed drawings prepared by Peter Coneen and
visited the house. It was determined that the summer kitchen — the only
historically important portion of the requested demolitions - had been
previously modified and did not contain enough significant historic fabric to
qualify for a demolition delay. The demolition was allowed to proceed.
• Preliminary request by William F. Riley as agent for Richard Manginelli for
demolition of a house at 89 Tar Kiln Rd. The house had experienced a
broken pipe and prolonged flooding, leading to water damage of the
building fabric. The commission reviewed a report from East Cape
Engineering stating that the condition of the structure was such that the
house was unsalvageable. The Commission visited the house and agreed
unanimously that the house had been an important piece of Orleans
history, was largely original (including board walls rather than retrofitted
stud walls,) and was worthy of preservation. Members failed to visually
confirm the information as stated in the structural report. The applicant
was informed that a more detailed report would be required to provide
convincing evidence that the house was structurally unsound. The
applicant was directed to either provide more detailed report or to request
a formal hearing on demolition. The applicant requested that a formal
hearing be held to allow the clock to begin on the 12 month delay process.
2. The Commission provided guidance to the Community Preservation
Committee regarding planned work on historic structures and artifacts in Orleans
that were to be funded through the Community Preservation Act as follows:
January 30:
• The Bicentennial Quilt was considered as deserving of funding as an
artifact prepared by community members and referring to Orleans
History.
• Replacement of the heavy timber supporting the wheel that allows for
the rotation of the mill was recommended to be with white oak, not
pressure treated pine as proposed. The PT wood is clearly a

HOUSING AUTHORITY
The Orleans Housing Authority (OHA) owns and manages one hundred one-
bedroom rental apartments (Tonset Woods) for the elderly and persons with
disabilities and eleven units of family housing. We also own four one-bedroom
apartments in East Orleans which were purchased in June 2001 and will remain
affordable in perpetuity.
The OHA also administers three state-funded Alternative Housing Rental
Vouchers (AHVP) which provide rental assistance to people with disabilities and
one 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 sup portative 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. In 2005 the Town
purchased land at 257 Rte. 6A on which the OHA together with the Joint
Committee plan to develop workforce housing. The OHA continues to explore
housing opportunities as they arise and also makes available its expertise in
managing properties.
Finally, the Commissioners thank Tim Buhler, Executive Director; Allison
Thomas, Associate Director; Jay Gingras, Maintenance Supervisor; and Al
Fearnley, Maintenance Assistant for their hard work throughout a changing year.
We extend our appreciation and thanks to Mike Dickson who recently stepped
down as President of the Tenants Organization after many years of service and
look forward to working with Pam Michalski, the new President.

MARINE AND FRESH WATER QUALITY TASK FORCE
Members of the Task Force and many citizen volunteers continued water quality
monitoring in Orleans marine embayments and its freshwater lakes and ponds.
These efforts include the testing of waters in the Pleasant Bay watershed which
began in 1997 and the Cape Cod Bay and Nauset Estuary watersheds. The
Massachusetts Estuaries Project Report for the Pleasant Bay system utilized the
data collected to assess the health of the marine embayments within Orleans
and adjacent towns. The report concludes that these waters are at risk of over-
enrichment due to the nitrogen loads entering through groundwater and surface
waters from increasing development within the town. Septic systems, fertilizer
use, and road runoff contribute significantly to the natural sources of nitrogen that
are utilized by plants to boost growth in marine waters.
The water quality in Orleans salt water ponds in the upper reaches of Pleasant
Bay (Meetinghouse, Arey's, Kescayogansett and Paw Wah) is significantly
degraded as shown by low dissolved oxygen levels and high levels of nutrients
(or both) during the summer monitoring season. Due to the hydrodynamics of
the Pleasant Bay system, the water in these salt ponds does not readily flush into
the bay. This causes the bottom sediments to retain and recycle the nutrients
within the salt pond. Reports on the Cape Cod Bay and Nauset estuaries are
due in 2008.
The Freshwater Lake and Pond Monitoring Program was initiated in 2000 and
has continued with technical and analytical support provided by the Cape Cod
National Seashore's lab in Truro and the PALS (Pond and Lake Stewardship)
project of the Cape Cod Commission. In 2007, freshwater pond samples were
collected by volunteers from 18 Orleans ponds. Analyses were performed by the
Cape Cod National Seashore for dissolved inorganic nutrients and total nitrogen
and phosphorus. Volunteers continued to take field measurements for dissolved
oxygen, temperature, and water clarity at these ponds in spring and late summer.
Thousands of pieces of data for nutrients and thousands of field measurements
for physical parameters have been generated as a result of these efforts.
A study of all the freshwater pond data was conducted by the Cape Cod
Commission. Orleans received approximately $25,000 in the form of services
from the Commission for this work. The final report is available on the Town
website and at the Snow Library. Ed Eichner, water scientist at the CCC,
presented the findings at a public meeting held at Town Hall in November.
The findings indicate that all Orleans freshwater lakes and ponds show at least
some signs of declining water quality (decreased water clarity, low dissolved
oxygen, or elevated nutrients) as the result of excess phosphorus entering the
watersheds. Phosphorus is the key growth nutrient in freshwater systems.
Sources of phosphorus include road runoff, lawn fertilizers, and dishwashing
detergents. Citizens can reduce the rate of deterioration of water quality in our
140
ponds by reducing the use of fertilizers and choosing to use dishwashing
detergents that do not contain phosphorus.
Among the CCC report's recommendations was to conduct a survey of the
remaining 40 ponds in town that have not been sampled. Any property owner
who wishes to have a pond sampled may leave a request and contact
information with the Planning Department. The sampling will be done in August
and September.
The Task Force provided recommendations to implement the report's findings to
the Town. Freshwater pond data has been added to the marine water quality
data for use during our wastewater management planning process and will help
support future town decisions about natural resource management and resource
protection.
The Task Force continues to provide support to our neighboring towns of
Brewster and Eastham with their volunteer monitoring programs. Task Force
members and other citizen volunteers continue to support town, state, and
county-wide wastewater and environmental monitoring efforts and legislation that
impacts water quality.
The Task Force wishes to thank the volunteers who have faithfully captured
water samples through all kinds of weather conditions this year. Through their
efforts they have added significantly to the scientific knowledge about our town's
marine and aquatic resources. Additional volunteers are needed each summer
to carry out monitoring in our estuaries. Those with boats, canoes or kayaks are
urgently needed. Contact information can be left with the Planning Department
at Town Hall.

NAUSET REGIONAL SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Each year, one of the responsibilities of the Nauset Regional School Committee
is to report, through its chair, to each of its member towns. Each year, since I
have been chair, it has become more and more difficult to think of different ways
to explain how well the middle and high schools are doing.
This past year, the superintendent and I were called to make a presentation to
the Regional Subcommittee of the Massachusetts Association of School
Committees. We were one of two school systems asked to participate, the other
being a vocational school from the north shore. The reason we were called is that
we exemplified a system recognized at the state level for its achievements in the
MCAS scores from top to bottom. The members of the subcommittee asked
questions for about an hour. Without rehashing the entire Q & A, we explained
that our programs' successes are directly attributable to the support of Orleans
141
and the other towns. From the strong support of our budgets to the cooperation
between Orleans and the three towns on the regional funding formula, we on the
committee, have an easier job providing the schools the resources needed for
their fine programs.
As our commitment to the students continues, so too does our commitment to the
towns to use the funds allocated to us in the most productive and effective ways.
We are not the least expensive in the state nor are we the most expensive.
Dollar for dollar, we are very good at what we are doing and the envy of other
systems paying more money. In addition to being named a Compass School and
a Vanguard School the high school was honored by the US Department of
Education as a Blue Ribbon School — only one of 238 schools in the country to
achieve this award. The successes at the high school have their roots in the
elementary schools of the region and in the middle school, all of which are an
integral part of the whole in successfully educating our students. The Region
owes much to Orleans and the other towns for the Region's achievements and
Orleans should take great satisfaction in their instrumental role.
From the arts and music programs, to MCAS scores, to SAT testing to our
college acceptance placements, Nauset continues to shine brightly. I have said in
the past that great schools reflect great communities and vice versa. Orleans has
demonstrated that it is among the best. On behalf of the Nauset Regional School
Committee, please accept our heartfelt gratitude and our continuing promise to
use the precious funds allotted us in the most responsible manner.

OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE
Approximately 6.45 acres of open space were protected permanently in 2007,
through the Town's purchase of additional holdings from the Sparrow family of
South Orleans. The new parcel is located on Namequoit Road, across from John
Kenrick Woods, which was acquired from the Sparrow family several years ago.
It provides frontage on Arey's Pond and the Namequoit River and completes a
significant wildlife corridor extending from the watershed to the Peck property on
the north side of the Namequoit River. This acquisition was the first proposed by
the committee since the end of the Land Bank in 2005. Funding for the
142
$1,275,000 purchase came from a grant from the State in the amount of
$500,000, mitigation funds from Barnstable County from the development of
Skaket Corners in the amount of $540,000 and $235,000 from a debt exclusion
vote approved by the voters.
The Committee continued to work closely with the Orleans Conservation Trust
and was able to preserve an additional 5.75 acres of land through the placement
of Conservation Restrictions on four separate parcels.
Thus, through public and private actions an additional 12.2 acres of land in
Orleans were permanently protected
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 that
objective, over 230 acres have been protected or 58% of the 20-year goal.
Major efforts by the Orleans Conservation Trust and the Friends of Pleasant Bay
through private fund raising for land purchases and through assistance to
landowners to preserve land with Conservation Restrictions made a significant
addition to the earlier Land Bank efforts. Completing the remaining 42 per cent
of the 400-acre goal is very important but will be considerably more difficult now
that the Land Bank funding has been terminated. It is clear that additional
conservation restrictions, private donations, joint public/private efforts and zoning
changes will play an increased role in achieving the 400 acre objective of the
Plan.

ORLEANS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
"Anchored in Excellence" is the motto that hangs above the entry to Orleans
Elementary School, embodying the continued focus and expectation of high
levels of academic achievement for learners of all ability levels. A transition in
administration on July 1St led to a celebration of the dedicated principalship of
Gail Briere while welcoming incoming Principal, Diane Carreiro. The talented and
dedicated OES staff was paramount in setting the stage for a highly productive
2007.
Academic focus areas were on improved student writing skill development with
the first year implementation of Grades 1-5 Writing Prompts and Holistic Scoring.
Subject Area Coordinators worked with staff and administration on curriculum
pacing, student assessment, and corresponding data analysis while also
facilitating instructional leadership. Integrated instruction with the arts and diverse
143
subject areas was promoted by the school-wide theme "West of the Rockies", the
Gr. 3 Pleasant Bay Project and a Gr. 5 Orleans History Project. Science
consultants on all grade levels provided enhanced skill development with multiple
sessions of instruction. Before and after school enrichment programs and student
support programs addressed varied learning styles and levels of skill
development. Overall, 2007 MCAS student performance levels in both
mathematics and literacy continued to be ranked in the "very high" category and
are "on target" in meeting state level improvement ratings as noted in Adequate
Yearly Progress data.
The "richness of community support" has been evident through the many
learning venues that have embraced and engaged Orleans elementary students
on a continual basis during the past year. The Academy of Performing Arts,
Orleans Cardinal Baseball Team, AmeriCorps Cape Cod, Orleans Elks, Orleans
Rotary Club, Police and Fire Departments, Cape Cod 5 Bank, Sovereign Bank,
Cape National Seashore, Cape Technology Collaborative, Orleans Historical
Society, Friends of Pleasant Bay, Cape Cod Symphony Outreach Program, Spirit
of America Band, Masons, Snow Library and many local business owners,
artists, performers and community members have also given generously of time
and resources to enhance student learning in 2007.
Field trips provided a conduit for "hands on experience" during this year of focused
and engaged learning. Orleans students ventured to the Cape Cod Museum of Natural
History, Plimouth Plantation, Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, Boston Museum of
Science, Historic Tours of Orleans, Pleasant Bay, and Cape Cod Museum of Art along
with still others. Cultural events brought in to the school encouraged excitement,
creativity, enhanced critical thinking skills and expanded experience backgrounds.
This was evidenced with venues in the arts and sciences, safety, history, the
environment, literacy, social services and health. We thank our Orleans Parent
Teacher Organization and local grant funding sources for supporting many of these
key events.
Staff professional development was grade specific, well planned, ongoing and
promoted further developed instructional techniques. Groups of teachers
attended conferences on technology, differentiated instruction, co-teaching,
support service provision and student enrichment. Effective Classroom
Strategies to Enhance Instruction for a Wide Range of Students, Holistic Scoring
of Student Writing, and MCAS Data Analysis and Action Plan Development were
school-wide workshops that took place. A staff book discussion and study group
on enhancing critical thinking skills was also initiated in the fall of 2007. Parent
support has been provided through two book study sessions led by the School
Psychologist on child development for enhanced learning, emotional intelligence
and friendship factors.
A community school welcomes its own back in, with 2007 being no exception. A
Grandparents and Special Persons' Day, Summer and Fall Luncheon Sizzlers for
144
parents, Band and Chorus concerts, PTC Craft Fair, Arts Extravaganza evening,
School Open House, and Curriculum Nights were all well attended. The school
also supported summer and recreation programs for youth, after school
enrichment programs, child care programs, and adult education.
Orleans Elementary School, its staff and community members set the stage for a
vibrant learning environment filled with commitment, achievement and excellence
in 2007. It is through this combined effort that the children were provided with
some of the best possible educational opportunities during the past year. In the
year ahead, we pledge our continued commitment to excellence in education for
the students of Orleans. Please know that your support has made a difference
and is much appreciated.

PARKS & BEACHES
2007 had a number of significant storm events which directly affected Nauset
Beach.
In April we had a three day Nor'easter which caused a lot of erosion and created
a new inlet five miles south of the Nauset Beach parking. This new inlet has
continued to widen with most of dune loss being on the Northern side of the Inlet.
It will take approximately two to three years for the Inlet to stabilize. Once the
Inlet has stabilized then the Barrier Beach will start its southward migration and
the island to the south of the inlet will start eroding.
The New Inlet location has caused a great deal of erosion which is directly
affecting the First Village of Camps (11) in Chatham. The Cape Cod National
Seashore who owned two of the camps have had them removed so they would
not fall into the ocean.
Hurricane Noel (a category 1 storm) hit in November causing significant erosion.
The Broad and Harris family camps in Chatham were lost in this storm. If the
Erosion of the Barrier beach continues at this pace then two or three more camps
may be lost. It is really sad to see the loss of these camps as it is another era of
the past slipping away.
In February of 2007, the Orleans Board of Selectmen/Park Commissioners voted
to sign a new Intermunicipal agreement with the Town of Chatham for the
management of the beach south of the Nauset Beach parking lot. This is a five
year agreement which allows either Town to opt out of the agreement if
significant erosion continues.
In March, the Board of Selectmen/Park Commissioners voted not to pursue a
Section 10 or State Conservation Permit. The Board felt there were too many
145
stipulations being placed on the Town which would have cost a significant
amount of money to operate with only a small amount of vehicle access. Other
reasons not to go forward included the fact that the State wanted the Town to kill
and remove selected predators on the beach. The vote, to not pursue the Section
10, by the Board meant we would have more Off Road Vehicle closures to
protect Piping Plovers and Least Terns.
On June 3, 2007, we closed the entire Nauset Spit end of Nauset Beach to Off
Road Vehicle Traffic except for 3/8 of a mile and did not reopen until August 11,
2007. The area south of the Nauset Beach parking lot was closed to Off Road
Vehicle Traffic on June 25t" and did not reopen until August 3rd
During the closure on the South End Camp Owners/Licensees from Chatham
and Orleans respectively were escorted past the unfledged chicks in the Pochet
Washover area five days a week.
A new interactive computer program was started in 2007 which included live sites
at the former American Legion Hall, Nauset Beach Administration Building and
both the lower buggy booth and the front toll booth. This allowed all locations to
have the same information up to date as vehicles were registered. Part of this
program also included a scanning portion where barcodes were placed on each
O.R.V. sticker so vehicles could be scanned on and of the South End of the
beach. This gave an accurate count of the number of vehicles on the beach at
any one time as well as a tally by day, week or year. We still have a few tweaks
to make but the program worked extremely well for the first year.
Congratulations to Sarah Smith, the Parks & Beaches Office Manager, who
coordinated and helped write this program, a job well done!
Off Road Vehicle Registrations were down by 20% as predicted.
The number of Off Road Vehicle permits sold was as follows:
Orleans Resident Stickers 1988
Chatham Resident Stickers 500
Non-Resident Over Sand Stickers 1197
Non-Resident Self Contained Stickers 114
Camp Owner/Licensees Stickers (Chatham/Orleans) 151
The daily Off Road Vehicle limit was reached 4 days on the South End of Nauset
Beach and on 22 days on the North End. The Self Contained limit was reached
on two weekends.
The mail-in Off Road Vehicle limit sticker program continues to be very
successful.
146
Monitoring and protection of Endangered, Threatened and Species of special
concern continues as this program is mandated by the Order of Conditions, from
our local Conservation Commission and the State Department of Environmental
Protection. Species protected under this program includes Piping Plovers, Least
Terns, Common Terns, and American Oyster Catchers.
The following data was compiled for the 2007 season:
Piping Plovers 20 Pairs
Least Terns 110 Pairs
Common Terns 2 Pairs
Roseate Terns 0 Pairs
American Oyster Catcher 1 Pair
The productivity rate for Piping Plovers was 1.24 per nest. We had a 0.00
success rate for the rest of the species. As in the past low productivity rates can
be attributed to storm Washover and predation by coyote, skunk, Black Backed
Gulls, crows and Peregrine Falcon.
The revenue for beach parking increased by 10%.
The following is a breakdown of Beach revenue for the 2007 season:
Daily Parking 619,190
Visitor Stickers 115,300
Off Road Vehicle Permits 320,115
Concession 98,700*

The parking lot at Nauset was full ten times and Skaket Parking Lot was full 42
times.
The Beach at Skaket is overcrowded at High Tide as 40 to 50 vehicles are
parking off site by the Captain Linnell house and patrons are walking from that
location. This is causing a severe strain on the facilities.
At Nauset the protected beach has been widened the last two summers. Sand
bars at the Public Beach area continue to grow so bathers and surfers are having
fun once again.
The use of playing fields, walking paths and playgrounds continue to grow. We
are falling further behind in maintenance of facilities and grounds due to
insufficient staffing. This trend will continue as budget cuts are now a yearly
tradition.
Landscaping the Town Office Building was completed by the Parks & Beaches
staff. The design was by the Parks Foreperson, Cheryl Esty. Great job, Cheryl.
The Summer Monday Night Concert Series at Nauset Beach continues to be a
success. We have received numerous requests to expand this program and will
be expanding to hold a Concert Series at Eldredge Park.
Thanks to the continued generosity ($16,000) of the Orleans Improvement
Association a sprinkler system was installed at the new Town Office Building
Grounds. They also donated $3,000 towards Christmas lights.
The Parks and Beaches Department Staff volunteered as well as volunteers from
the Chamber of Commerce and Orleans Cardinals installed holiday decorations
at ten locations as well as installing holiday banners on thirty-two telephone
poles.

PERSONNEL ADVISORY BOARD
On April 17, 2007, the Personnel Advisory Board held a public meeting to
consider a proposed Article for the Town Meeting Warrant in May, 2007.
The Article was a proposed revision to the Orleans Personnel Bylaw that would
fund a 3% cost of living adjustment for non-union employees.
This revision was APPROVED 2-0-0.
The Board hopes that a third member will be appointed soon to replace John
Wherry who resigned in 2007.
149
As of this date in 2007, there have been no disputes over the interpretation of the
grievance procedure of the Orleans Personnel Bylaw brought before the Board
for mediation by any full or part-time town employees who are covered by the
Personnel Bylaw.

PLANNING BOARD
In 2007, The Planning Board approved four Definitive Subdivision Plans, which
created eight buildable lots. The Planning Board also endorsed three Approval Not
Required Plans, which created four new buildable lots.
Five public hearings were held for the trimming or removal of trees; all of the
requests were approved by the Planning Board.
The Planning Board provided input to the Town's wastewater planning consultant
with regard to the practical expectations for growth in different areas of the town.
The information will be incorporated into the comprehensive wastewater
management plan.
Efforts to improve the Village Center resulted in the passage of two zoning
articles to encourage a stronger residential component in the district. Other
successful zoning amendments in 2007 included changes to the way additions to
nonconforming uses and structures are treated, a reduction in the potential
density of the Rural Business District, and clarification of definitions in the Zoning
Bylaw. The Planning Board is grateful to present articles to a Town Meeting
which listens carefully to proposed amendments and is supportive of protecting
the character of Orleans.
The Board began to discuss the issue of formula-based businesses, with
concerns about their impacts upon the local economy, in addition to the visual
concerns and homogenizing affects on the town. A zoning article to regulate such
businesses may be brought to a future Town Meeting.
Planning Board members also represent the Board by serving on other
boards/committees: Sims McGrath on the Wastewater Management Steering
Committee; Sims McGrath and John Fallender on the Zoning Bylaw Task Force,
John Ostman on the Community Preservation Committee.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT
In 2007, the Planning Department continued its support of various short and
long-range programs to guide the Town's growth and development, as well as
coordinating the work of many committees and administering its regulatory
functions. Foremost among the efforts was the work associated with the
development of a town-wide comprehensive wastewater management plan,
which accelerated progress towards an anticipated 2008 completion.
Other highlights of 2007 include the following:
• Participated in the Pleasant Bay Alliance, notably in efforts of the
Watershed Working Group to foster a regional approach to the protection
of the bay's resources.
• Supported the Planning Board's efforts to plan for appropriate growth in
the Village Center, including development of successful zoning
amendments to allow 3rd floor apartments.
• Maintained the Town's GIS, and implemented a web-based GIS viewer
that may be accessed by Town staff and the public on the Town's website.
• Expedited Cape Cod Commission certification of the Orleans
Comprehensive Plan, and continued to implement the plan in conjunction
with the Planning Board.
• Submitted a successful application to the state under the Commonwealth
Capital Program, which improves Orleans ability to compete for
competitive state grants. This submittal led to a successful Self-Help grant
of$500,000 for the purchase of open space abutting Arey's Pond.
• Acted as the Selectmen's representative to the Regional Transit Authority.
• Served as Town liaison to the Cape Cod Commission for several
Developments of Regional Impact, including Daniels Recycling,
Community of Jesus (belltower), and a large land clearing within the
contributing area to public wells.
• Completed planning under a PWED grant for the relocation of Lots Hollow
Road, due to be constructed in early 2008.
• Provided staff support to the Joint Committee on Affordable Housing and
the Route 6A Affordable Housing Committee.
• Completed planning, permitting, and funding for the replacement of the
culvert below Skaket Beach Road, funded substantially by non-local
sources. The project was constructed in fall 2007.
• Completed the 5-year perambulation of the town's boundaries as required
by state law.
The Planning Department is pleased to work with the many volunteers that
support their community by giving of their time to protect and preserve the fine
qualities of Orleans and the lower Cape.

PLEASANT BAY ALLIANCE
The Pleasant Bay Alliance is an organization of the Towns of Orleans, Chatham,
Harwich and Brewster established to coordinate implementation of the Pleasant
Bay Resource Management Plan adopted by Town Meeting in 1998 and renewed
in 2003. The plan incorporates the Pleasant Bay Area of Critical Environmental
Concern (ACEC) and the 21,000-acre watershed, which includes portions of all four
towns. The Alliance develops public policy recommendations, technical studies and
public education tools to support the Bay's natural resources and the public's safe
enjoyment of Pleasant Bay.
Highlights from 2007 include:
• Following the formation of the new Nauset Beach inlet in April, the Alliance
convened a public forum to explore alternative management responses. The
Alliance is currently working in partnership with the Town of Chatham, Friends
of Pleasant Bay, Inc. and U.S. Army Corp of Engineers to update the
hydrodynamic model of the Bay and evaluate changes in water quality due to
the new inlet.
• The Alliance sponsored a public forum with WHOI Sea Grant's Coastal
Resources Specialist Jim O'Connell on coastal Iandforms and alternative
erosion management techniques.
• Efforts to coordinate wastewater planning among the four watershed towns
continued through the Alliance's watershed work group. Among the topics
addressed by the group are further analysis and computer modeling to
achieve threshold nitrogen targets, and protocols for long term monitoring and
compliance reporting for threshold nitrogen targets established through the
Massachusetts Estuaries Project. The nitrogen targets, known as Total
Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), were approved by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency.
• The Alliance obtained $75,000 in grants from the Cape Cod Water Protection
Collaborative. One grant will fund development of a watershed based fertilizer
management study, and another will fund a study of resource impacts, cost
sharing and permitting issues associated with the re-installation of a dike in
Muddy Creek for the purposes of controlling nitrogen through natural
processes. Both studies will be conducted in 2008.
• The seventh full season of Bay-wide water quality monitoring was
successfully completed, with special thanks due to our many dedicated
volunteers.
• The Alliance's salt marsh monitoring program was initiated with the
installation of transect markers and vegetation monitoring at two marsh
locations.
• The 2008 update of the Pleasant Bay Resource Management Plan was
initiated with a series of three public forums over the summer to gain public
input.
152
In addition to Technical Resource Committee and Steering Committee members
appointed by the Board of Selectmen, the Alliance is fortunate to have active
participation from the Cape Cod Commission, Cape Cod National Seashore, MA
Department of Environmental Protection, MA Division of Conservation and
Recreation, MA Coastal Zone Management, Woods Hole Sea Grant, Cape Cod
Cooperative Extension, Friends of Pleasant Bay and Friends of Chatham
Waterways.
On behalf of the Alliance we wish to thanks the citizens of Orleans for your
ongoing support.

I am very pleased to present the 2007 Annual Report of the Orleans Police
Department to our citizens, elected officials, Town Administrator, Town staff,
and all of the members of the Orleans Police Department.
The Town's police building, built in 1967 as a combined police/fire facility at a
cost of $250,000, needed to be upgraded in 2007 to meet several health and
safety standards. I certainly commend the efficient businesslike manner our
Police Station Building Committee led by Chairman Tom Finan and clerk of the
works, Ron Collins, as they proposed the necessary work to be completed in
the station and saw it through to a successful conclusion. The Committee is
now charged with the task of a complete upgrade that would leave the building
as a viable police station, one that the whole community will be proud of, for
the next 25 years.
The year 2007 was also extremely successful for our department in our
commitment to a safe and enjoyable community. We experienced an extremely
low Part I (most serious crimes) crime rate with one exception. Burglaries were
32 in '05, 29 in '06 and increased to 43 in 2007. Traffic crashes drop for the
second year in a row, we increased our traffic citations for the third year in a row,
and officers made a high number of DUI arrests.
Our Patrol Officers are responsible for responding to calls for service and for self-
initiating activities designed to reduce crime and traffic concerns. The officers of
your department did an excellent job and are credited with the significant
decreases in Part I Crime as well as the decreases in traffic crashes. A well
153
known and experienced officer, Ernie Butilier, retired in 2007. Although we hired
an excellent recruit to take his place, the loss of experience and Ernie's
commitment to Community Policing will be a loss.
The detectives followed up on significant cases and perform the more advanced
investigations. Detectives Kevin Higgins and Melissa Marshall, working with patrol
officers had an excellent clearance rate on major crimes. They were also
instrumental in proactive policing and the reduction of crime by informing
businesses and citizens via e-mail notices of crimes in Orleans and neighboring
towns. People then took necessary precautions and prevented themselves from
becoming victims.
Our Dispatchers are responsible for collecting, maintaining and dispatching the
thousands of requests for service and crime reports handled by the
department each year. They are responsible the input of information in our
computer aided dispatch system and also handle an estimated 55,000 non-
emergency calls to the police department annually. Our dispatch is staffed 24
hours a day, seven days a week to serve the citizens of Orleans.
September of 2007 saw Orleans Police Officer Lloyd Oja take on the new duty
as the School Resource Officer at the Nauset Regional High School. Officer
Oja was chosen from candidates from the four departments representing the
Nauset Region and is doing an excellent job working with the staff and
students on public safety initiatives.
Our Honor Guard is exceptional. The Honor Guard serves as a representation of
our department and has proudly participated in color guard ceremonies, town
parades, police memorial services, and funeral details in and around Orleans.
On an extremely sad note, long time bookkeeper and friend to all associated
with our department, Joan Chilson retired in July and then passed away in
October. Joan's friendly attitude and her dedication to her job, her family and
extended police family will be sorely missed.
Respectfully submitted,
Jeffrey J. Roy

POLICE STATION RENOVATION COMMITTEE
The Police Station Renovation Committee was formed in January 2006 to accomplish,
what was thought to be at the time, a minor renovation of the Police Headquarters
Building on the corner of Eldridge Park Way and Route 28. The building was built in
1966 as a combined Police and Fire Department facility. The Fire Department moved
out in 1989 and the building was remodeled as a Police only facility.
As the Committee, aided by Ammondson Architects, Police Department Staff and Town
Officials, conducted a Needs Assessment of the building, it became apparent that the
needs of the building were very extensive.
155
During the summer and fall of 2006 the Committee met with the Board of Selectmen to
review their findings. It was decided to address the project in two phases:
• Go forward at the October 2006 Town Meeting and request Phase I funds to
address the most urgent needs of the building.
• The Board of Selectmen updated the charge to the Committee, asking that they
launch a full Phase II Feasibility Study to address the long term (20+ years) needs of
the building.
Town meeting approved Phase I funding to address the most severe health, safety and
operational issues required to keep the building operational. From late 2006 through
mid 2007, leaks were fixed; lead, asbestos and mold were removed; the heating system
was replaced; the Dispatch area was expanded and fitted with a new air conditioner and
the cells were refitted with suicide-proof doors and upgraded security equipment.
A Phase II Feasibility Study Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued and after interviews
of those responding a contract was awarded to the Carrel Group in the fall of 2007. An
in depth analysis was conducted and the many deficiencies of the building were
documented. Three options were presented to the Committee:
• Remodel on the same footprint, bringing everything up to code. This was rejected
as it did not meet the 20+ year charge from the Board of Selectmen.
• Demolish part of the building, build a new two-story structure in its place and
renovate the remaining part of the building.
• Demolish the entire building and build a new structure on the current site.
The options, along with preliminary cost estimates were presented to the Board of
Selectmen in December 2007. It was noted that the new heating system, air
conditioner, bathroom fixtures, cell doors and fixtures, and furnishings from Phase I
would be reused in Phase 11. The Committee advised the Board that Professional Cost
Estimators were pricing out the partial demolition/renovation option and the complete
demolition build new option.
On February 6, 2008 the Committee presented two options to the Board of Selectmen
and made its recommendation:
• Partial demolition and renovation. Expand the building from its current 11,500
square feet to 18,383 square feet.
o Design $696,224, Construction $9,640,834
• Complete demolition; build new on the current site. Expand the building from its
current 11 500 square feet to 18,134 square feet.
o Design $651,558, Construction $9,109,102
The Committee recommended the complete demolition/build new option as it is the
least expensive and removes the uncertainties that are inherent in renovation projects.
The Board of Selectmen was asked to support a $700,000 article at the May 2008 Town
meeting for design and to include $9,000,000 in the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)
for F/Y10.
The Committee noted that these costs were in line with other municipal construction
projects in the mid/lower Cape area and that the layout, function and facilities put forth
are very much in keeping with the modern Police Stations the Committee has recently
visited. The project is expected to take 12 to 14 months.
156
The Committee acknowledges the fine support it has received from many town
employees and committees, in particular, Police Chief Jeff Roy and his staff,
Selectwoman Margie Fulcher the liaison to our committee, and Town Administrator
John Kelly.
Respectively Submitted,
Tom Finan, Chairman

SHELLFISH AND WATERWAYS IMPROVEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
This Committee is charged by the Board of Selectmen to respond to concerns brought to it
by the Selectmen, by the Harbormaster/Shellfish Constable, or by any citizen of Orleans.
Responses by the Committee are not statutory or enforcing, but are advisory to all parties,
and especially to the Board of Selectmen. The Committee initiates relevant projects on its
own, projects that improve its observation skills and advisory judgments.
The members of the Committee come from diverse interests and backgrounds with
respect to the Town's waters. They represent family and commercial fishermen,
aquaculturists, boaters, and waterfront landowners.
In 2007, we continued to observe pressure on our Harbormaster/Shellfish Department.
The demands for water access, boat launching, parking and moorings increase year to
year and are particularly acute in the summer. The Department improves, administers,
and polices our fishing and other water blessings to the benefit of all who use and enjoy
them.
Fees for moorings and for shellfish permits have fallen behind the averages for other
towns on the Cape, and this Committee and the Selectmen made recommendations for
significant compensating increases. Town Meeting turned down the recommended
increases, and forced Selectmen to use only minimal increases not subject to Town
Meeting approval. In addition, current Massachusetts legislation is forcing all towns to
reduce mooring fees for non-town residents to the same fees as for residents.
The restoration of oysters to town waters is very encouraging. Not only have our
aquaculture people been growing them successfully in Little Pleasant Bay, but the
Shellfish Constable and the town have now grown enough oysters from purchased seed
to start moving them into the wild.
Jay Harrington as Assistant Chair, and Marty Leonard as Secretary, have provided able
service to the operation of this Committee.
We continue to be grateful to Dawson Farber, our Harbormaster/Shellfish Constable,
who shares with and encourages the Committee greatly. He has also helped us to work
on such hands-on projects as the maintenance of the herring runs at Pilgrim Lake and
at Cedar Pond. Selectman David Dunford has been a very helpful liaison to the
Committee, and we are grateful for his faithful attendance, advice, and communication
with the Board of Selectmen.

Gerry Dorman, Chairman

SNOW LIBRARY
Snow Library cast a bright light on a little-appreciated aspect of communication in 2007
with a month-long exhibit and silent auction featuring 50 posters covering subjects as
diverse as World War I, The Mothers of Invention, Joe Namath and Dionne Warwick.
The posters were donated by Orleans resident Bob Crozier, an art director who ran his
own design/marketing firm, first in New York and then in Washington, for the purpose of
supporting Snow's various art projects. The auction earned more than $3,000, but
perhaps the greater value was the sense of unity forged by members of the Friends of
Snow Library, the Board of Trustees and the Craine Gallery Committee that worked an
estimated 400 hours to bring the project to fruition.
Part of those proceeds goes to support Snow's ongoing project involving the
photographs of H.K. Cummings, who, while operating his dry-good store in Orleans,
documented various aspects of work and daily life common to the Outer Cape from the
end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. The collection, supported by
a variety of sources, received a grant from the Community Preservation Committee to
digitize some of the images and improve accessibility; the album of prints is available at
the reference desk. The project, under the direction of volunteer archivist Bobi Eldridge,
will produce its third book this coming fall, photographs focusing on houses. The exhibit
is set for September and October in the Craine Gallery; sixteen new postcards will also
be available.
Snow's commitment to history and the arts in no way takes away from our fundamental
pledge to expand the public's access to books in all forms and information from all
points of the globe. Of course we draw from our own collection, but can quickly and
efficiently reach out to other libraries for books, CDs and answers to a wide range of
reference needs. In addition, patrons can sign up to use one of the libraries computers;
those with laptops and wireless cards can reach the Internet from anywhere in the
building. The library's collection included more than 73,400 items, including 62,905
books, 4,019 audio books, video and music CDs, 3,740 films in VHS or DVD, and other
materials in microforms, CD/ROM, plus numerous network transfers and interlibrary
loans. Circulation of library-owned materials totaled 172,466 transactions. The per
capita numbers of items loaned and the percentage of library users in the population
remain among the highest in the state.
161
The library has 9,831 registered borrowers, and averaged 502 individual visitors each
day in the fiscal year from July 1, 2006, to June 30, 2007; reference librarians fielded
7,500 queries. Snow's website recorded 290,043 "hits" in FY 07, up 70% from last year.
Lifetime Learning, provided by the Friends of Snow Library, included such courses as
Bach Cantatas, Laughter Yoga and the ever-popular Mind in the Movies. The Sundays
at Snow programs included "Life in the 15th Regiment", a discussion of a small
Massachusetts regiment rallying to fight during the Civil War, and a performance by the
Cape Cod women's a cappella group, "Sound Waves." In all, Snow provided 294 adult
programs including lectures, book groups, adult learning and cultural programs, and 122
events for children.
As always, the principal initiative, staffing and backing for the Library's many successful
volunteer programs came from The Friends, one of the largest such groups in the
Commonwealth. Friends-supported Library activities included: book mending; shelving
and shelf reading; magazine maintenance; newspaper pickup; support of children's
programs; book discussion group; and book deliveries to nursing homes and senior
housing. They also provided $19,000 for museum passes, books and all sorts of
materials, and $4,000 for children's programs throughout the year.
The Snow Library Endowment Fund has a five-member board of directors comprised of
two Friends, two Trustees and a jointly named fifth member chosen from the community
at large. The Endowment Fund board keeps an open channel of communication with
Snow's Trustees, monitoring the library's needs, ready to add its support to that of the
town, the state, the Friends and the many residents who favor the library with their
generosity. In 2007, the Fund contributed $15,000 to support library activities and
operation.
For all that was positive at Snow in 2007, there was deep sadness at the death of
trustee Frank O'Neil. We will all miss his steady guidance in many ways, especially in
financial matters.
Memorial gifts in 2007 were received in honor of the lives of Katherine Smith O'Brien,
Elizabeth Rattle, Nell Capece, Cheryl Rene Dederick, Lisa Talmage, and our own Frank
O'Neil. All contributions were used to improve the library's collection, and for
furnishings.
Snow Library would like to thank all the town departments for their help, in particular,
Peter Van Dyck (Information Systems Manager for Orleans), the Parks Department for
its assistance in keeping our building and grounds safe and attractive, and the Highway
Department for keeping the parking lot clear. 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 2008.
Respectfully submitted,
Skip Rozin, Chairman, Snow Library Trustees

SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the Citizens of Orleans:
It is a privilege to submit my report for calendar 2007, and a privilege, too, to serve as
your Superintendent of Schools. The public schools of Orleans and Nauset have been
well-supported by our citizens, and the benefits of that support are manifest in our
classrooms, and throughout the community.
Continuity is a cornerstone of our success: our students spend at least thirteen years in
school before they earn a high school diploma, and successful programs and activities
often take almost that long to put in place as successfully as we wish. For example, we
have been improving our Reading program for the past seven years, starting (logically
enough) with our youngest students, and reaching the Middle and High Schools over
the past two years. It will be several more years before we have trained every
secondary teacher to provide effective reading comprehension instruction within their
particular subject, but it is an effort that is necessary and productive. How many of us,
or our classmates, were assigned homework ("Read Chapter 14") we simply were not
able to complete successfully because the text was too difficult to comprehend?
Reading is a skill that can and should be taught at every level of the public schools, that
every teacher should include in their instruction. Nauset is committed to making that
happen.
Those who wish more information than can be included in his brief annual summary are
invited to visit our web site, www.nausetschools.ora.. There are links to each of our
schools, information for parents and the public, and many resources for our staff. In the
past few years, we have turned increasingly to electronic communication, from putting
our High School Program of Studies on the internet (instead of on paper) to this year's
addition of an internet-based telephone network. With it, we can contact hundreds of
staff or parents in minutes with a taped message, explaining some unusual event, or
reminding of some upcoming activity or assignment. Who knows what might be next —
e-books?
In Orleans, the close of the 2006-07 school year saw the departure of longtime Principal
Gail Briere, who moved just down the road from OES to her new assignment as
Assistant Superintendent of the Nauset district. Gail earned the respect and affection of
her staff and colleagues, and has already made an impact leading Nauset's
professional development program forward. In her place, we welcomed Mrs. Diane
Carreiro, most recently principal of the Northwest Elementary School in Leominster.
Diane brings a strong commitment to high achievement, the Arts, and literature, and is
well-prepared to lead Orleans Elementary to new levels of excellence in service to the
Town and its children.

VETERANS' GRAVES OFFICER
The year 2007 was for the most part an uneventful one for me. The usual chores of
replacing broken markers where needed and new flags for Memorial Day as well as
making sure all flags are presentable for Veteran's Day were carried out. Living close by
gives me an advantage as I frequently drive thru looking to see where replacements are
needed. With the great number of Veteran's graves there are now it is very easy for me
to miss one. If you know of a grave I have missed please let me know and I'll take care
of it as soon as I can.
The week before Memorial Day I received 39 trays of 15 Geraniums, that's 585 plants,
all of which had to be planted before Memorial Day. Once again Brian Bates and
several vans of students from Lighthouse Charter School arrived at the Cemetery on the
Thursday before Memorial Day and within 1 '/2 hours all the plants were planted.
Without their assistance this would be an impossible task and to them I'm forever
grateful for their help.

Peter Howerton, Veterans' Graves Officer
VETERANS'SERVICES
The District Office of Veterans Services continues to work with all those veterans issues
such as VA compensation, medical benefits, pensions, insurance questions, financial
aid and all those concerns that we, as a one-stop veterans can help with.
One of the major problems that we face is the length of the time that the VA takes to
make decisions on those old and new pending cases. We as veterans' representatives
have voiced our displeasure with this problem numerous times, but to no avail.
The primary VA medical clinic in Hyannis still maintains a high level of services to all
those veterans enrolled.
We would like to thank the Town Administrator, Treasurer and Town Accountant for all
their help. Also, our State Legislators who we work so closely with on all the bills that we
file on behalf of those we serve.

pressure screening clinics provided 375 blood pressures screens, 25 residents were
screened for cholesterol, 25 residents were screened for glucose, 14 residents were
screened for skin cancer, 15 residents were screened for colorectal cancer, 32
residents were screened for bone density, and 40 cases of communicable disease were
investigated for the Town of Orleans and the Massachusetts Department of Public
Health. 6 community wellness programs were provided, and also a Health Fair at the
Orleans Council on Aging. The VNA Public Health Nurse completed 27 home visits for
assessment and referrals.
In addition to the funding sources such as Medicare, Mass Health, Private insurance or
Town Appropriation, the V.N.A. actively seeks funds through grants, and philanthropy.
These funds are needed to broaden the scope of community services offered and to
help support needed home health services for those Orleans residents whose health
insurance coverage is inadequate or nonexistent.
The V.N.A. is committed to and continually striving toward understanding and meeting
the needs of the community. Please feel free to address any questions or comments to
the Public Health and Wellness Programs of the V.N.A., located at our Dennis office,
telephone 888-557-9994.

WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT STEERING COMMITTEE
In 2007, progress on the development of a comprehensive wastewater management
plan (CWMP) was accelerated. The Needs Assessment report, a major component of
the plan, was finalized and presented to the public. The report evaluated the 5 reasons
for centralized collection and treatment of wastewater: (1) sanitary needs, (2) drinking
water protection, (3) surface and groundwater protection, (4) convenience & aesthetics,
and (5) economic development. Of these, the protection of surface and groundwater
165
was found to the most pressing need in Orleans because of impacts to the natural
environmental caused by nitrogen loading from septic systems.
Early in the year, the much-anticipated water quality reports for our three Cape Cod Bay
estuaries were received (Rock Harbor, Little Namskaket Creek, Namskaket Creek). The
reports indicate the maximum amount of nitrogen loading that each of the estuaries can
assimilate, beyond which the system will experience accelerated eutrophication.
Overall, the reports indicate that 25% of the nitrogen must be removed from the three
watersheds in order to meet the Total Maximum Daily Loading standard.
A similar report is anxiously awaited for Nauset Estuary, which will complete the MEP
project for Orleans. The report was contracted for a 2005 delivery, and the committee
has been moving forward with a "placeholder" for nitrogen removal based on best
available information.
Late in 2007, the Town's consulting engineering firm Wright-Pierce delivered the next
milestone report, the Alternatives Screening Report. This document develops and
evaluates all the alternatives for collection of wastewater, treatment, transport, and
disposal. The report developed nine treatment options, ranging from a series of
package plants throughout the town to a single centralized facility. By applying a
comprehensive set of review criteria, the committee pared down the options to the three
best alternatives for further study. The three options a decentralized array of facilities, a
centralized plant at the Tri-town Septage Treatment Plant site, and a South Orleans
centralized facility. Public meetings on the report are scheduled for January.
In the upcoming year, each of the options will be studied in detail to determine which is
the best option for Orleans. The committee anticipates presenting report to the 2008
Annual Town Meeting, followed by an extensive public review process and a request to
endorse the final plan at a Special Town Meeting in October 2008.
In anticipation of having an approved plan in the near future, the committee worked to
develop a draft financing policy that can be applied to construction projects to ensure
that costs are shared fairly among property owners. The policy is expected to split
capital costs between taxpayers and "bettered" properties in a manner that will balance
costs and benefits while keeping the cost to the average homeowner as low as
practical. The final CWMP will contain detailed costs for sewering phases.
The committee also made recommendations to the Charter Review Committee on
amending the Home Rule Charter to allow for the administrative structure necessary to
implement and operate a sewer treatment operation.
The committee's efforts continue to be supported by the Planning Department staff, for
which the committee is grateful.

WATER DEPARTMENT
With below normal rainfall during May and June the summertime demand for water was
significantly greater than the summer of 2006. Our average production increased by
20% during June, July and August. Just the opposite of 2006 when over 18 inches of
rain during the same months caused a 10% reduction in consumption. The past two
years provide the classic example of how even short term weather events impact water
suppliers in terms of supply and revenues.
The Department completed the Water Treatment Plant Improvements Project in August.
That accomplishment marked the reintroduction of well no. 1 to service for the first time
in ten years. With additional improvements to well no. 6 the production capacity of the
plant was increased by nearly 40%. A new back wash system for the plant membranes
is helping to improve performance by reducing the frequency of cleanings and the
volume of backwash water used.
Numerous tours of the Treatment Plant were conducted throughout the year. Visitors
ranged from middle school students to engineers of all disciplines. The plant supplies 60
to 100 percent of the Town's water through state-of-the-art technology. Ultra filtration
membranes eliminate iron and manganese and provide a barrier to particles as small as
bacteria and viruses. Few can match the technology we use to produce drinking water.
Simply stated, it's the Best Water on the Cape.
Throughout 2007 the Department continued the program to replace water meters with
new Radio Read Meters. A total of 539 installations were completed, bringing us near
the 50% mark of the project. Achieving the goal to reduce the number of years that it will
take to bring this new technology to the entire system will increase the Department's
efficiency and help maintain staffing at current levels.
During the winter of 2007, staff repaired 14 main breaks and prevented the loss of
millions of gallons of water. More than 150 fire hydrants were inspected and repaired
while we maintained the status of our valve exercising and flushing programs.
The Water Department applied for and received a $25,000 grant from the Cape Cod
Cooperative Extension. The grant is being used to help implement a Wildfire
Preparedness Plan for the watershed. The Plan calls for a reduction in accumulated
under story brush and material that can act as a fuel during a fire. Perhaps more
importantly, roads will be maintained in order to provide access and staging areas for
fire fighting personnel during a real emergency. This is scheduled as a 3-year project,
but we hope to conclude earlier with the help of Americorps volunteers and the
guidance and hands on assistance of the Town's Tree Warden. With new equipment
and badly needed safety gear provided by the grant, Water Dept. staff has already
cleared nearly 3000 feet of fire break in the north end of the watershed.
The Department continued its public education programs with the celebration of
National Drinking Water Week and the publication of our annual newsletter and water
quality report. We were pleased to again receive recognition from MA DEP as being one
of the top 5% of water purveyors in the Commonwealth.
167
During 2007, the Board of Water Commissioners devoted significant efforts to the
following matters:
• Provided oversight to the Water Treatment Plant Improvements Project.
• Dedicated significant time and effort to the Wind Energy Project.
• Updated and implemented the Water Department Policies and Procedures.
• Reviewed and analyzed the Department's Financials.
We would like to express our appreciation to the water department personnel, the other
town departments and the residents of the Town of Orleans for their assistance,
cooperation and support during the past year.

ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
The purpose of the Board is to hear and decide applications or petitions for Special
Permits or Variances as empowered under the Zoning Bylaws of the Town and the
Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 40A, and to hear and decide appeals from
decisions of the Zoning Administrator.
There were 17 regular open meetings in 2007. A total of 42 applications were
submitted. Forty-one were heard and one was continued to 2008 at the applicant's
request. Of the 26 Special Permit applications heard, 23 were granted and three were
withdrawn without prejudice. Of the eleven applications which combined Special Permit
and Variance requests, one decision granted both, one granted a Variance (Special
Permit request withdrawn without prejudice), and nine granted a Special Permit
(Variance requests withdrawn without prejudice). Of the four applications for Variances,
three were withdrawn without prejudice and one was denied. There was one appeal
which was upheld.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert Osterberg, Chairman

ZONING BYLAW TASK FORCE
The Zoning Bylaw Task Force maintains a list of zoning issues and works at the behest
of the Planning Board to develop Zoning Bylaw amendment language that will improve
the bylaw. In 2007, the Task Force developed text for 5 Zoning Bylaw amendments,
each of which was approved at the Annual Town Meeting. Late in the year, 4 other
amendments were developed for consideration at the 2007 Annual Town Meeting.
Also in 2007, the Task Force reviewed the General Bylaws of the Town at the request of
the Board of Selectmen. The bylaws were found to be generally up to date and relevant.
Several areas were identified as in need of amendment.
The Task Force is comprised of members of the Planning Board (2), Board of Appeals,
residents at-large (2), the Building Commissioner, and Planning Director. Meetings are
held on the 4t" Wednesday of the month. The group is most active in the fall and winter
when bylaw changes are being developed, and in the spring works for communicate the
issues to the townspeople in preparation for the Town Meeting.
Sincerely,
George Meservey, Chairman
