George R. Christie, Jr.
September 21 , 1928 — July 27, 2009
George R. Christie, Jr. generously gave much of his time and enthusiasm to the Town
of Orleans. George was born in Freeport, NY and as a "wash ashore", he devoted thirty
one years to this fragile spit of land that he loved so much. George began volunteering
in 1978 serving on the Coastal Zone Management Committee, the Appeals Board, and
the Citizens Coordination Committee on the Septage/Wastewater Plan. He served as
Chairman of the Finance Committee for three years and he was Selectman from 1989
to 1994. He also served on the Charter Review Committee, the Conservation
Commission and he was the Orleans Representative to the Barnstable County
Assembly of Delegates where he held a number of leadership posts.
Through his hard work and dedication, George embodied the spirit of volunteerism
helping to make Orleans a community to be proud of.

BOARD OF SELECTMEN AND TOWN ADMINISTRATOR
In 2009, 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 and many of the actions that were
listed as part of their annual goals were achieved.
• Road reconstruction projects involving West Road and a stretch of Main Street
from the intersection of Tonset Road to Meeting House Road.
• Working with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, developed a
conceptual roundabout redesign for the intersection of Routes 28 and 6A.
• Transition of the Town's website to Virtual Town Hall to enhance availability of information
disseminated to the community.
• Working with the Lower Cape Towns' resolved public access and studio facility needs as
part of a successor Cable TV Franchise Agreement with Comcast.
• Organizational Study of the Parks, Highway, Transfer Station, Tree, Harbormaster
and Recreation Departments and approved the structure of a new Department of
Public Works and Natural Resources.
• Changes in the existing committee structure including the dissolution of the
Wastewater Management Steering Committee and Wastewater Management
Validation and Design Committee; creation of a Town Maintenance Facility
Feasibility Study Committee, Agricultural Task Force, Renewable Energy/ Wind
Committee, and a Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners to replace the
existing Water Commission in accordance with a change in the Town Charter.
Finally, we welcomed the addition of Sims McGrath to the Board in March following a
special election to fill the seat left vacant with the death of John P. Hinckley, Jr.
As we move forward, we 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 in these tough economic times
to continue to maintain the core services that we presently provide and our residents
expect, while considering new initiatives to improve current practices. The Selectmen
and Town Administrator wish to thank the many citizens who have provided significant
volunteer service to the Town. Without them, Orleans could not function as well as we
do. And last, but certainly not least, the Board of Selectmen appreciates and thanks our
dedicated employees for their hard work and professionalism which makes Orleans
such a special place to live and visit.
Respectfully submitted,
Jon R. Fuller, Chairman John F. Kelly
Board of Selectmen Town Administrator

TOWN CLERK
The Clerk's office posts meetings and schedules meeting rooms for Town boards,
committees and commissions; on our official posting board and on the town's website.

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.
2009 activity included a Special Local Election in March, the Annual and Special Town
Meetings and Town Election were held in May and a Special State Primary in
December. Since the former American Legion building was closed for the winter, we
moved our polling location to the Senior Center in December.
I would like to extend a very big "thank you" to all the Election Workers and the Board of
Registrars for their outstanding work in assisting me and our voters. I would also like to
thank Elizabeth Smith and her staff for their graciousness and assistance with our use
of the Senior Center. As always, thanks to the Parks, Highway and Police departments
for all their assistance during elections. A special thank you to my assistant, Kelly
Darling for all her work and support this year.

Planning Board Report on the Orleans Comprehensive Plan
Presented by Seth Wilkinson, Vice Chairman
As required by the Orleans Town Charter, I will give you a brief update on the year's
progress in implementing the Orleans Comprehensive Plan.
55
As you know, the Special Town Meeting last fall approved the draft Comprehensive
Wastewater Management Plan. The plan is a key component to future planning in a
number of areas, including environmental protection, land use planning, economic
development, and affordable housing. The approval in October set in motion a series of
steps to finalize the plan and prepare for final design and Phase 1 of construction.
Studies of the Tri-town Septage Facility site have yielded positive results about the
suitability of the site for wastewater treatment and disposal. A study of potential
regionalization with Brewster and Eastham is underway to determine whether the towns
can save money by working cooperatively. The Board of Selectmen has begun meeting
with its counterparts in those towns to work through issues of mutual interest at the Tri-
town site. Finally, our consultant is in the process of working with state and County
officials on early permitting of the plan.
Affordable housing is another area where progress has been made in the last year. The
John P. Hinckley Jr. affordable housing project planned for 257 Route 6A is currently
out to bid as a 4-unit townhouse project for qualified homebuyers. The Town is also
working towards a program of purchasing existing condominium units for affordable
housing. These two programs have been supported thus far through Community
Preservation Act funds, and Article 4 tonight will request your approval of their
continued funding.
The other major effort of note concerns the Orleans Village Center. The Planning Board
has successfully proposed several zoning changes in past years to make the Village
Center function better, and we thank you for your past recognition that the district
deserves our attention. Further progress on the Village Center will be contingent upon
your local officials having good information about the local economy in order to prepare
for an economically viable downtown in the future. Article 8 of tonight's meeting
requests your approval of funding to develop a business market analysis that we can
use as the basis for future planning. We hope you will consider this funding at its due
time.
The Town continues to work hard to maintain its public facilities in difficult fiscal times.
This is evidenced in the Capital Improvement Plan, which projects costs for Water
Department equipment, improvements to the Highway Garage, and investments in our
beaches and public landings among other things. The comprehensive plan
recommends that Orleans be pro-active in maintaining its assets, and we encourage
your support of sound long-term planning.
Town Hall is becoming more accessible to residents, primarily through advances
allowed by the intereet. The Town's mapping system continues to be maintained to
provide open access to information about the Town to all interested citizens. This is a
step that other towns are taking, and we are pleased that Orleans is serving its
residents with available modern technology.
The Planning Board is privileged to have a town plan that is reflective of the needs and
interests of its residents. We will continue to bring forward to you recommendations for
short and long-range items that we think are necessary to preserve and improve
Orleans.
ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries unanimously.

fixed, built, erected, and framed, and having a roof for the shelter of persons, animals,
or property. For the purposes of yard requirements, decks and r,ernhec shall be
considered part of a building but shall not count towards the building coverage of the lot.
BUILDING COVERAGE: The buildable upland portion of a lot that is covered by
buildings, 'n^ig as well as porches and bulkheads, but excluding parking areas,
pools, decks, or any permanent structures that do not have roofs. [Added 5-13-1996
ATM, Art. 21]
FENCE: A combination of materials assembled at a fixed location for the purposes of
protection, confinement, enclosure, or privacy. Any fence, that exceeds sk-6 seven M
feet in height, as measured from the undisturbed existing natural grade, shall be
required to meet ,iaFd req lire YYleRtG 3f an .rf.GGeGcGFY h6lildiRg as s f.�rFh in Cen+i/1�7p j-IR4
22L.F setback from the lot line a distance equal to the height of the fence. Trees,
hedges, plants and all other vegetation shall not be considered a fence. [Added 5-10-
2004 ATM, Art. 25]
RESTAURANT, CONVENTIONAL: An establishment for the sale of on-premise
food, the maiority of which is served and consumed at tables or counters on the
premises with open plates and utensils, and not in baps or containers suitable for
takeout. Anv take-out service conducted at a conventional restaurant shall be

PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on January 13, 2009. 15 residents were in
attendance. The Board voted 5-0-0 to forward this article to the Town Meeting and
recommend its approval. This year, the Planning Board has brought forward 5
amendments to the Zoning Bylaw. The first two amend the definitions section. Two are
administrative changes. The last proposal is an update to the regulations on signs. The
proposals were developed in response to issues that have been raised over the course
of the last year, by town staff, volunteer boards or members of the general public. We
think they will clarify the bylaw and improve its function and hope you will agree.
Article 23 proposes amending three existing definitions and adding a new definition
to the bylaw. The definitions of BUILDING and BUILDING COVERAGE have been
amended to clarify that decks (which are not covered with a roof) are part of a
building but do not count toward building coverage. Bulkheads would also count,
as they are generally within the foundation and have an impervious surface.
The definition of FENCE is changed to allow a 7 foot fence height. Fences come in
67
6-foot sections, and the additional space is needed to allow for sloping lots and air
space underneath the fence.
A new definition is proposed for CONVENTIONAL RESTAURANT. The Zoning Bylaw
has a definition for a Fast Food restaurant, a prohibited use which makes reference
to a conventional restaurant. There is no such definition of a conventional
restaurant in the bylaw today. The Building Commissioner has asked for such a
definition to help him administer the bylaw. By adding this definition we hope to
further affirm the difference between what is fast food and what is a conventional
restaurant.
The definition includes table or counter service with food served on site, and it
helps constitute what we feel is a conventional restaurant and not fast food.
We request your approval of Article 23.
Respectfully Submitted, John Fallender, Chairman, Orleans Planning Board
ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries by the necessary 2/3 majority.
ARTICLE 24. AMEND ZONING BYLAW SECTION 164-4: DEFINITIONS

and antennae and other like features appurtenant to buildings that 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. [Amended 5-9-1988 ATM, Art. 66; 11-18-1991 STM, Art. 3]
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
A
public hearing was held on January 13, 2009. 15 residents were in attendance. A
number of helpful comments were received. The board voted 4-1-0 to forward this
article to the Town Meeting and recommend its approval.
This article proposed that the definition of BUILDING HEIGHT be amended by
removing the reference to the street side. By this change, building height will be
measured from the average undisturbed existing natural grade. This is the manner
in which all of our abutting neighbor towns measure building height and we think
Orleans would be best served by the proposal.
I would like to invite the Town's Planning Director to explain the rationale for this
amendment.
Respectfully Submitted, John Fallender, Chairman, Orleans Planning Board

Bylaw be so amended.
PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on January 13, 2009. 15 residents were in
attendance. The Board voted 5-0-0 to forward this article to the Town Meeting and
recommend its approval.
Article 26 concerns building setback requirements in the Village Center District.
The current side setback for buildings is 10 feet. The setback may be reduced to
zero for party wall construction, quote "OR SIMILAR". The "OR SIMILAR" is not
meaningful, and is recommended to be eliminated.
We have also added an allowance for handicapped access to be within the side
setback. This was a problem with a recently proposed commercial redevelopment,
and we think the proposal allows for reasonable accommodation of accessibility
needs.
Thank you. John Fallender, Chairman, Orleans Planning Board
The required side and rear yard setbacks in the Village Center are 10 feet. The setback
may be waived for party walls. This amendment would add an allowance for
handicapped access within the side yard setback in order to provide reasonable
accommodations for disabled persons.
ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries unanimously.

Bylaw be so amended.
PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on January 13, 2009. 15 residents were in
attendance. The Board voted 5-0-0 to forward this article to the Town Meeting and
recommend its approval.
Article 27 is a proposed updating of the Town's sign regulations. The Chamber of
Commerce approached the Planning Board last fall with a list of questions and concerns
about the manner in which signs are regulated. The Planning Board worked with the
Chamber, and with the Zoning Bylaw Task Force to rework the regulations to be more
clear, more effective, and to allow businesses a reasonable level of signage without
causing an negative effect on community character.
The basics of the regulations have not changed. Businesses are still allowed up to
three signs, and the size and setback limitations remain in effect. All commercial signs
in Orleans must receive approval from the Architectural Review Committee before they
can be constructed. There are a number of improvements we have proposed, and I
would direct your attention to the video screen where the Planning Director will quickly
walk you through the changes.
Thank you. John Fallender, Chairman, Orleans Planning Board
MOTION: John Nichols made a motion to amend Section C (3) by adding sections
(i) and (j):
(i) Political and public issue signs held by individuals.
(j) Political and public issue signs posted on private property with the
homeowner's permission, expressing positions on candidates for public
office and/or positions on public issues. Signs relating to electoral
candidates for public office may be placed 30 days before the election
until five days afterward.
The proposed amendment was rejected as the definition of the word "sign" in the bylaw
does not currently apply to political signs, thus no amendment is necessary.
77
MOTION: John Nichols made a motion to amend Section H (3) by deleting the words
after the words "allowed in" and adding the words "Section C (3)"
The proposed amendment was ruled out of order and was rejected as it is well beyond

The GemmossmeF4 Board recognizes the threat to the public water system arising from
cross-connections. As such, the Gommis;;ae Board, whereas it is responsible for the
quality of the public water supply, may require a containment device on the water
service entrance to any customer who, as a result of unprotected cross-connections,
could contaminate the public water supply system.
§ 158-10. Enforcement.The GommissiaR Board shall not allow a cross-connection to
exist with the public water supply system unless it is considered necessary and all
appropriate approvals and/or permits have been issued.
§ 158-11. Existing in-use backflow-prevention devices. Any existing backflow preventer
shall be allowed by the r^mmissiei Board to continue in service unless the degree of
hazard is such as to supersede the effectiveness of the present backflow preventer or
result in an unreasonable risk to the public health. Where the degree of hazard has
increased, as in the case of a residential installation converting to a business
establishment, any existing backflow preventer must be upgraded to a reduced
pressure backflow preventer, or a reduced pressure backflow preventer must be
installed in the event that no backflow device was present.
§158-12. °° Testing.

E.Any backflow preventer which fails during a periodic test must be repaired or
replaced by a licensed plumber. When repairs are necessary, upon completion of the
repair, the device will be retested at the Owner's expense to insure proper operation.
High hazard situations will not be allowed to continue unprotected if the backflow
preventer fails the test and cannot be repaired immediately. In other situations, a
compliance date of not more than fourteen days after the test date will be established.
The Owner is responsible for spare parts, repair tools, or a replacement device. Parallel
installation of two devices is an effective means of the Owner insuring that uninterrupted
water service remains during testing or repair of devices and is strongly recommended
when the owner desires such continuity.
F. Backflow prevention devices wi# may be tested more frequently than specified above
in "A" in cases where there is a history of test failures and the GommissiaR Water

sane, N4a6 ate;&e#s-, All new residential buildings will he are required to
install a residential dual check device immediately downstream of the water meter. This
device will be provided by the Water Gommissiae Water Department at a scheduled
cost to the homeowner. Installation of this residential dual check device on a retrofit
basis on existing service lines will be instituted at a time and at a potential cost to the
homeowner as deemed necessary by the Gemmissien Water Department.

The Owner must be aware that installation of a residential dual check valve results in a
potential closed plumbing system within his residence. As such, The Owner shall be
responsible for provisions may hava-te b8z M.-AC-119 QWRartG-PFGVi for thermal
expansion within his closed loop system, i.e., the installation of thermal expansion
devices and/or pressure relief valves.
§ 158-15. Strainers.
The G3mmissiaR Board strongly recommends that all new and retrofit installations of
reduced pressure backflow preventers and double check valve assemblies include the
installation of strainers located immediately upstream of the backflow device. The
installation of strainers wi 4 may preclude the fouling of backflow devices due to both
foreseen and unforeseen circumstances occurring to the water supply system such as
water main repairs, water main breaks, fires, periodic cleaning and flushing of mains,
etc. These occurrences may "stir up" debris within the water main that will cause fouling
of backflow devices installed without the benefit of strainers.

BARNSTABLE COUNTY ASSEMBLY OF DELEGATES
The Assembly of Delegates is the legislative branch of County Government. Each town
located within Barnstable County is duly represented on the Assembly of Delegates, by
a Delegate elected by the voters of the town. Fifteen Delegates are elected to serve for
a two-year term. The next election is in November, 2010.
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.
Each Delegate's vote is a weighted vote based on the 2000 U.S. Decennial Census,
with Barnstable having the largest vote (21.52%) and Truro having the smallest vote
(0.94%).
Delegates serve on various Standing Committees of the Assembly. 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.
The Standing Committee on Finance, in addition to the overwhelming task of reviewing
the budget, must look at every major decision rendered by the County that has financial
implications. The Committee is active throughout the year dealing with the financial
issues that face the County, and deals with any supplemental appropriations that may
be required. The challenge to balance the County budget for fiscal 2010, was met, in
part, by an increase in the Deeds tax. The Assembly is in the process of working to
balance the fiscal 2011 budget, a task made more difficult under current economic
conditions.
The Standing Committee on Natural Resources works on growth management
initiatives, revisions to the Regional Policy Plan, and County wastewater management
issues, including regionalization issues.
The Standing Committee on Economic Affairs is involved in the County's Economic
Development Council, the revenues received from the purchase of the Barnstable
County license plates, and grants awarded by the County from those revenues.
The Standing Committee on Public Services, among other things, works on issues
relating to the County's existing facilities.
102
The Standing Committee on Governmental Regulations reviews and recommends
adoption of Districts of Critical Planning concern, and amendments to the Regional
Policy Plan of the Cape Cod Commission.
The Standing Committee on Health and Human Services works closely with the
Barnstable County Human Services Advisory Council on its prioritization of human
services funding needs in Barnstable County.
The recently organized Charter Review Committee is reviewing suggestions and
recommendations concerning possible revisions to the County's Home Rule Charter.
Respectfully submitted,
Christopher W. Kanaga, Orleans Delegate

The Committee believes that bicycling and walking are becoming a more important
means of local transportation and are popular activities in the Town for residents as well
as seasonal visitors and has worked on the following initiatives in 2009:
• Actively monitored the Orleans section of the Rail Trail, working with Town and State
Officials, to ensure the safe crossing of main arteries and the beautification of the
Rail Trail with the addition of new trees, landscaping and maintenance.
• Aided in the promotion and safe growth of cycling in Orleans by sponsoring events
such as the Ninth Annual Coast to Coast Bike Tour.
• Distributed the International Bike Rodeo and Safety Training DVD and Safety
Brochure for our International Summer Workers; teaching them the rules of the road
and the importance of having proper night visibility/lights and wearing a bike helmet.
Met with Gail Meyers-Lavin, Program Coordinator for Summer Host International
Workers and Mr. Bill Rangnow concerning our program with Stop and Shop and
Shaw's to try and avoid duplication of efforts. Mr. Rangnow also collects, has
repaired and distributes bicycles for the International Workers. We have all agreed
to aid each other where we can, i.e. riding/safety lessons for those obtaining bikes,
grants for bikes, locks, chains, lights and helmets.

• Met with Cape Cod Chapter of Mass Bike and are sharing copies of our minutes for
their website.
• Participated in regional meetings with our neighboring towns' Bikeway Committees,
the Cape Cod Commission and National Park Officials to establish lines of
communications and to explore opportunities for obtaining funds and resources to
improve Rail Trail maintenance and interconnecting bike routes throughout Cape
Cod to eventually have a Cape wide trail where everything is consistent.
• In support of the Comprehensive Plan, the committee has been looking at the
various options to link East Orleans, South Orleans and the Bakers Pond area with
the Village Center for bicycle and pedestrian access and to make Orleans more
biking and walking friendly. In this respect the Committee is working on a roadway
master plan to be presented to the Board of Selectmen and Highway Department
delineating safer walking paths, crosswalks and bikeways for Orleans'
residents/visitors to be incorporated in future street improvement projects. In order to
find trouble areas within the Town we actively track bicycle/pedestrian accidents and
their locations for repetitiveness.
• Completed the feasibility study identifying several options for the Town Center to
South Orleans multi-use path. A presentation of the findings was made to the
Community Preservation Committee as well as the Board of Selectmen.
• Working with local schools to recreate another bicycle and pedestrian safety
campaign for local TV. Also working with local schools to try and set up the
Massachusetts State Safe Routes to School Program.
• Working with local Police and Chamber of Commerce to highlight bike and
pedestrian safety via multi-media including a banner in the July 4" parade and on
police headquarters property. Safety Brochures were also distributed to real estate
agents, motels, inns, bicycle shops, the Police Department, Chamber of Commerce
and Snow's Library for distribution to seasonal visitors.
• Continue to monitor possible bike law changes within the State.
• Bicycle safety articles for the entire Cape printed monthly in the Cape Codder during
the summer months.
Work on a coast to coast sidewalk plan with a citizen's committee. This sidewalk would
eventually connect Nauset Beach with Skaket Beach with one safe contiguous walkway.

BOARD OF HEALTH
In 2009 the Board of Health implemented its Nutrient Management Regulations.
The purpose of these regulations is to address the generation of wastewater on a
parcel-specific basis by relating development to parcel size. More specifically most
properties in Orleans are limited to 110 gallons per day of sewage flow per 10,000
square feet of land, which translates to one bedroom per 10,000 square feet for
residential districts. The regulation does, in certain cases allow for denser development
with the addition of a nitrogen reducing technology to a standard septic system. All lots
will be allowed to have a minimum of 220 gallons per day of sewage flow regardless of
lot size, as long as all other state and local requirements are met.
The H 1 N 1 virus emerged in 2009 and the Board of Health responded to this development
by providing educational materials through the Health Department office and the town's
website. The Board also planned and coordinated H1 N1 vaccination clinics once vaccine
became available. In November the town was involved in a clinic for children 9 years old
and younger, pregnant women, and caretakers of children less than 6 months of age. In
December H1N1 vaccination clinics were held in each of the three public schools in
Orleans. The Board of Health also scheduled an H 1 N 1 clinic for the general public which
was to be held in early January 2010.
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 131 samples analyzed, 5 samples
exceeded the bacteriological limits for bathing beaches. In each case the sample
exceeding the bacteriological limits were collected within 24 hours of a rain event and all of
the follow-up sample results were within the recommended limits.
In 2009 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 2009 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
105
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.

CABLE TV/MEDIA OPERATIONS
Orleans 18 has been operating live since August 1, 2007. In the past year of operation
we have worked to better utilize technology to streamline our operations. In June of
2008 the department added a Tightrope Carousel to its system. This piece of equipment
allows the department to simplify and to update the community bulletin board.
In June of 2009 the two cameras in the Skaket Meeting Room were upgraded to newer
single chip cameras. During the upgrade a third camera was added in the room. The
new cameras provide a higher quality of video. The third camera in the room also
provides more coverage of the room.
Light filtering film was placed over the windows in the Nauset Room and the Skaket
Room to provide better quality video. The filter film helps to filter out the sunlight and
allows the cameras to produce better images and not be washed out from backlighting
of the sun.
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 meeting dates and
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 committees and 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.
Respectfully submitted,
Sarah Eaton, Media Program Coordinator
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 maintained close coordination with the MIS Director for
budgeting and technology purposes and with the Media Programs Coordinator for
Government Access cable television and Town web site operations matters.
The Committee recommended that the Town adopt a policy for allowing issue-based
not-for-profit organizations, such as the Orleans Citizens Forum and the Orleans Pond
Coalition, to occasionally use Town-owned audio/video equipment and the services of
an operator at no or minimal cost, in order to cablecast selected public education events
held at various venues. The Town policy was clarified to allow such organizations to
request cablecasting services of certain public education events, but only if held in the
Nauset Room of the town hall and scheduled not to conflict with normal Town
government meetings coverage.
108
The Committee coordinated with the MIS Director in the replacement of two analog
cameras in the Skaket Room with three new digital cameras and special fluorescent
"studio" lighting, to improve the cablecasting quality of meetings held there.
A member of the Committee continued, along with the Assistant Town Administrator, to
represent the Town on the Lower Cape Cable Consortium, in negotiating with Comcast
for new standard Public, Educational and Government Access television services for
Brewster, Eastham, Orleans, Truro and Wellfleet. The Consortium proposed new cable
contracts with very beneficial PEG Access and other provisions to Comcast in
November, and at year-end final negotiations on contracts wording were underway.
The new contract for Orleans, once signed, will take effect on January 1, 2010 and
extend to March 31, 2012. Public and Government Access operations for the five towns
will emanate from a new digital-equipped studio in the Nauset Regional High School
commencing in May 2010. In Orleans, the contract will provide for fiber optic
connectivity for Snow Library and the Nauset Regional Middle School, to enable "live"
cablecasting of events held in those venues.
In September, the Committee recommended that it be dissolved, in view of the fact that
the Town had a mature Media Operations Department and a new cable contract being
negotiated. Committee members offered to be consultants to the Town if needed in the
future. The Board of Selectmen voted to dissolve the Cable TV & Telecommunications
Advisory Committee in October.

CAPE COD COMMISSION
The Cape Cod Commission is the regional land use planning and regulatory agency
created in 1990 to serve the citizens and the 15 towns of Barnstable County. Its mission
is to manage growth, to protect Cape Cod's unique environment and character, and to
foster a healthy community for present and future generations.
The state legislation that established the Cape Cod Commission in 1989 charges the
agency's 19-member appointed board with reviewing and regulating Developments of
Regional Impact (DRIs), recommending designation of Districts of Critical Planning
Concern (DCPCs), and preparing and overseeing the implementation of the Regional
Policy Plan (RPP), the set of planning policies and objectives that guide development
on Cape Cod.
With a professional staff organized into three main working groups (Planning and
Community Development, Technical Services, and Legal/Regulatory), the Cape Cod
Commission provides regional services and coordinates many projects and activities
that affect all of Barnstable County and each Cape town. Activities relate to land use
and growth management, coastal, water, and natural resources; community design;
economic development, energy, geographic data and maps; historic resources;
transportation analyses and planning; affordable housing; and more.
Details about the Cape Cod Commission's work and the projects and programs
highlighted in this report are available on the web site: www.capecodcommission.org

CAPE COD REGIONAL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT
Cape Cod Regional Technical High School was established in 1973 as a public
technical high school and provides an opportunity to acquire high quality technical,
academic and social skills preparing students for success in our changing world. For
our school year 2008-2009, we had 703 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$11,903,693.
• Cape Cod Regional Technical High School graduated 158 students in June of
2009.
• In addition to our renewable energy program, our tri-generation system has
saved the district over $160,000 this past 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 `09 included repaving of Cape Cod Tech's
roadways and parking lots phase 1 and the installation of a security and camera
111
surveillance system with the help of a $50,000 Department of Justice grant
through the Harwich Police Department.
• Due to a lack of enrollment over the last 5 years, the Masonry Program was
closed.
• This was quite a year for two of our Science Instructors, Charlie Bresnahan and
Lynn Fleischer. Mr. Bresnahan was recognized for Outstanding Leadership in
Energy Education by three prestigious organizations: Cape Light Compact, The
Barnstable County Commission, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
House of Representatives. Both Science teachers and Cape Cod Tech were
recognized by the Commonwealth and received the 2009 Secretary's Award for
Excellence in Energy and Environmental Education. The House of
Representatives further recognized Cape Cod Tech's Environmental Studies/Tech
Prep Program and the Renewable Energy Education and Awareness Program.
Two of our Administrators were asked to present our energy initiatives at a
national conference in Arizona last fall.
• SkillsUSA is a national organization serving students enrolled in technical
programs. This year our students brought home 3 gold, 5 silver, and 11 bronze
medals in the district competition (all 3 gold medal winners are from the Town of
Barnstable); 2 gold, 3 silver, and 3 bronze in the state competition; and in the
national competition, we brought home a bronze medal in Marine Service
Technology and first place in the 2009 National Sustainability Solutions
Competition. In addition, 6 students received a first place in the Agri-Science Fair
at the Future Farmers of America (FFA) State Convention.
• 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 2008-2009
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$900,000.

CAPE COD WATER PROTECTION COLLABORATIVE
During 2009, the Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative continued its work to protect
and restore the water resources so valuable to the Cape. The Board of the
Collaborative is comprised of 1 representative appointed by each town and two
members appointed by the County Commissioners. The ordinance governing the
Collaborative was amended in 2009 to include, as non-voting ex-officio members, the
Executive Director of the Cape Cod Commission and the Director of the County Health
and Environment Department.
The Collaborative continued to focus its work on making water protection more
affordable and less daunting for the communities on Cape Cod. The major highlights for
2009 are as follows-
1. Ensuring appropriate implementation by the state of the provisions of the
Environmental Bond Bill, passed in 2008, which relate to the provision of 0%
interest loans under the State Revolving Loan Fund. The Collaborative invested
significant time working with the two relevant state agencies to ensure that the
intent of the law was preserved as the governing regulations were developed.
2. Monitoring state regulations to ensure that the interests of the Cape are taken
into account as regulations are developed. The Collaborative successfully
intervened to ensure that draft groundwater discharge regulations that would
have raised the cost of wastewater disposal were amended to meet the Cape's
needs at a much lower cost.
3. Initiating a groundbreaking review of the state and federal wetlands regulations to
determine if wetlands can be altered to minimize the need for sewering the
watersheds of impaired bays. The outcome of this project will determine if towns
will have the ability to pursue wetlands alteration projects to lower the cost and
scope of wastewater treatment.
113
4. Began, through a contract with the Cape Cod Commission, the finalization of a
regional wastewater management plan that will serve as a blueprint for the
Counties' vision for wastewater management.
5. Worked with individual towns on advancing their wastewater management
agenda through the provision of technical assistance and guidance on an as
needed basis.
6. Oversaw completion of the Shared Watershed grants meant to advance the
development and feasibility of regional wastewater management solutions.
7. Continued outreach and education of the public through the media, the
Collaborative's website, www.capekeepers.ora and through personal contact at
public meetings and forums.
The Collaborative has had a productive year but much remains to be done to help
communities continue progress already underway.

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 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 2009, 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. Oil and natural gas prices were extremely
volatile in 2008 with oil hitting its peak in July and then falling precipitously. Prices for
2009 were largely locked-in, in late 2008 when energy markets had decreased
significantly from their peaks in July of 2008. Natural gas, electricity, and other energy
prices continued to trend down in 2009. While the Compact's prices in 2009 did not
reflect this (due to locking in prices at the end of 2008), 2010 prices will reflect this
decrease. The Compact is actively pursuing strategies to stabilize prices at these
attractive 2010 levels.
As of December 2009, the Compact had 4,422 electric accounts in the Town of Orleans
on its energy supply.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
From January to October 2009, rebates and other efficiency incentive programs
provided to the Town of Orleans by the Compact totaled approximately $242,977 and
brought savings to 320 participants of $126,357 or about 631,783 kilowatt-hours of
energy saved for 2009.
114
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 energy education to the schools in
town including Lighthouse Charter School and Orleans Elementary School
through teacher training, materials, and classroom visits.
• The Compact sponsored science teacher, Mr. Paul Niles, Lighthouse Charter
School, to attend the national summer NEED teacher training in Galveston,
Texas, July, 2008.
• Over the course of it's lifetime, the 2.04 kWh PV system as part of the "Solarize
Our Schools" program at the Orleans Elementary School produced over 7,751
kWh of electricity and avoided over 13,378 Ibs of CO2.
• Six Low-Income homes were retrofitted for a reduction in energy usage and
increased comfort.
• 9 ENERGY STAR® qualified homes were built in the Town of Orleans.
• Two Orleans small businesses received energy efficient HVAC upgrades,
fourteen small businesses received energy efficient lighting upgrades and eight
small businesses received energy efficient refrigeration upgrades. The Orleans
housing authority had energy efficiency lighting upgrades in the Tonset Woods
housing units and the Orleans Water Department had an additional variable
frequency drive installed on one of its pumping stations to improve the efficiency
of the pump.

CIVIL DEFENSE
In July the Board of Selectmen transferred the Emergency Management to me after a
yearlong break in period with Chief Roy. I wish to thank Chief for his assistance in this
transition and his continued efforts as our Assistant Emergency Director.
115
Our updated Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan was begun with the help of
grant monies and finished late in the calendar year. This plan remains very similar in
appearance with updates provided due to staff changes that have occurred in several
key departments that make up the Emergency Management for the Town of Orleans.
Summer and fall found us educating ourselves and planning for the possibility of a
Pandemic outbreak of the H 1 N 1 flu. Mexico began to see cases breaking out in country
as well as visitors bringing the spread back to many countries. While slow to arrive,
some flu shots and mist inoculations were conducted in Town with the aid of the
Orleans Health Department. At the time of this report there were preparations in place
for a rather large Town wide clinic. Both our reverse 911 notification system "Code Red"
and channel 18 were used to advertise this event with great results.
My thanks to all of our Town Departments that are the backbone of our Emergency
Management. This Department is merely the incident command structure for the many
talented people that compromise our staff during times of crisis.

COMMISSION ON DISABILITIES
The Orleans Commission on Disabilities (COD) spent this past year working on the
fundamentals of access. Two key actions were performed to make sure the town is in
compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and a third project will
ensure that the physical improvements are in place to comply with federal and state
access laws.
1. Notice Under the ADA: This document, which is posted at all town buildings,
was most likely adopted around 1992 but seventeen years have passed and few
records exist of such a commitment. The updated notice states that the Town of
Orleans will not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities on the
basis of disability in its services, programs, or activities.
2. Grievance Procedure Under the ADA: Also a federal requirement that dates
back over a decade and a half, this Grievance Procedure is established to meet
the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"). It may
be used by anyone who wishes to file a complaint alleging discrimination on the
basis of disability in the provision of services, activities, programs, or benefits by
the Town.
The Commission is also undertaking a Survey of Town Facilities in 2010 to determine
where there might be deficiencies that need our attention to improve access. The
Survey work is expected to begin in February and assessments should be in by April to
determine a work list. This is also something that has not been done for nearly ten
years.
This report also includes a message to the public. The COD is a small committee with
volunteer members and no staff. We are always looking for new members and
involvement on special projects. Please contact us if you have any problems, questions,
or want to help!

COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE
The Town of Orleans adopted the Community Preservation Act (CPA) in May 2005. The
Town receives funding for CPA activities from the 3% local surcharge on real estate
property taxes (surtax) and from a state match of up to 100% of the surtax revenues
subject to the availability of state funding. CPA funds are to be spent on open space,
community housing, historic preservation and recreation projects which contribute
toward achieving the goals of the Committee's Preservation Plan and the Town's
Comprehensive Plan and which meet the legal requirements of the CPA.
The nine-member Community Preservation Committee, created by state statue and
local bylaw, was formed in September 2005, following voter approval of the transfer of
the Land Bank to the Community Preservation Act in the spring of 2005. The Committee
implements the requirements of the CPA, administers the project selection process and
awards funds to eligible projects subject to Town Meeting approval.
The Committee conducted its fourth full calendar year of business in 2009. Important
activities during the year were:
• As 2009 commenced, there were thirteen projects, in various stages of
completion, being monitored by the Committee to insure that they remained
within budget and approved scope and that satisfactory progress was being
made towards completion of the projects.
• At the May Annual Town Meeting, the Committee, after careful review,
interviews, and a public hearing, recommended nine eligible projects for partial or
full funding. Three of these involved additional monies for projects already being
financed with Community Preservation funds and two involved the transfer of
community housing funds. The Town Meeting, through Article 4, approved
$691,138 to pay interest and principle on Land Bank debt, $29,000 as reserves
for future housing projects, $37,500 for FY '10 Committee expenses and
$861,770 for the ten projects. These projects were as follows:
1. Historic Lifeboat CG36500 Restoration
2. Orleans Historical Society Meeting House Electrical System Upgrade
3. John P. Hinckley, Jr. Affordable Housing Project
4. Condominium Purchase Program
5. Orleans Housing Trust Fund
6. Orleans Conservation Trust - Nelson Overlook Property
7. Senior Center Walkway Construction
8. Orleans Historical Society Vocalion Organ Restoration
9. Odd Fellows Hall Restoration - Windows/Clapboards
• During 2009, six projects were completed and closed out financially. These
projects included creation of a skateboard park, condition assessment of the
Town cemeteries, feasibility study of a bike and walking trail linking South
Orleans to Orleans Center, archiving and digitalization of the Library's H.K.
Cummings photograph collection, restoration of the CG36500 historic lifeboat,
and completion of the Orleans Historical Society Meeting House electrical work.
117
• Also during the year, the Committee agreed to use expense monies to engage a
preservation planner to provide consulting services to the Committee to assist in
its review of historic rehabilitation projects and Historic Preservation Restrictions.
• As 2010 commences, there are twelve on-going projects which continue to be
monitored by the Committee.
During 2009, the state match under the CPA dropped from 80% to 45% of Orleans
surtax revenues. In 2010, state matching funds are anticipated to decrease even more
to as low as 28% of Orleans surtax revenues. Despite reduced funding, the Community
Preservation Committee is committed to its continued support, within the funding
available, of projects that will preserve the character and beauty of the Town of Orleans
in the areas of open space, community housing, historic preservation and recreation.

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 manages the Town's Conservation Areas.
Reviewing and Approving Wetland Projects
Any activity that alters a wetland resource area or the 100 foot buffer to the resource area,
including filling, construction, renovation, pruning, removing or planting vegetation, 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 2009, the Conservation Commission heard 70 Notices of Intent, Amended Orders, and
Requests for Determination and 150 Administrative Reviews.
Management of Open Space Areas
The Orleans Conservation Commission is responsible for the management of the Town's
Conservation Areas. Most of these areas are available to the public and offer passive
recreational opportunities with trails and scenic views. In 2009, the Conservation
Commission continued to support the Parks Department's efforts to improve naturalized
areas. The Town has purchased additional acreage at John Kenrick Woods.
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.
The 2009 year was productive, rewarding and exciting as we started the Walkway
Project and prepared for the 10th anniversary celebration of the Center's expansion.
Ten years ago, the Outreach Department struggled to meet the needs of seniors with
decreasing staff levels. Now, in 2009, then years later, we have Mary Ellen Lavenberg
in a full time position and Sue Beyle in a thirty hour position. Last year, they met with
527 clients for 4,308 "units of service". None of this could have been accomplished
without the continued financial support of the Friends of the Orleans Council on Aging,
the town budget or grants, gifts and trusts.
According to the July, 2008 census, there are 3,156 residents in the sixty and over age
group representing 50% of the town's population. Nearly half of these residents are 75
and over. The Day Center provides caregivers with respite as well as programs to
challenge those with short-term memory problems to prolong their ability to stay at
home and postpone nursing home care.
The 2009 year provided us with additional opportunities to expand our programs. The
COA Board formed sub-committees to review policies and procedures, van sponsorship
and to investigate the possibility of a grant for solar panel installation on the roof of the
Senior Center. The COA is also reviewing core values for our programs: senior foused
pro-active for clients; clear communications; threat all people equally with respect and
dignity, excellence and quality including physical environment and innovation-growth
open to new idea.
A review of our "Tidings" publication will show that the COA is meeting the needs of our
community with Blood Pressure Clinics, Check Book Balancing, CPR-AED Class, Foot
Care, Fuel Assistance, Gosnold-Thorne Counseling, Home Health Aide Referrals, Legal
Assistance, Medical Equipment, Mental Health Counseling, Notary Public and
S.H.I.N.E. Support groups include: Alzheimer's Caregivers Support, Bereavement
Support, Chicken Soup for the Caregiver, C.O.P.D. Support, Neuropathy Support,
Parkinson Support and Sight Loss Support.
The COA offers "something for everyone" as evidenced by: Yoga, Keep Movin' Keep
Goin', Life Exercises, Tapping to Broadway, Amateur Radio Club, Bayberry Quilters,
Book Club, Bridge Lessons, Cape Cod Bead Society, Chess Players, Duplicate Bridge,
Knitters Knittin', Mah Jongg Lessons, Newcomers Cribbage, Newcomers Modelers
Group, Newcomers Painting and Oil Painting Class.
None of these fine programs would be possible without the excellent staff of the Council
on Aging and The Day Center. Special recognition must be given to Mary Ellen
Lavenberg and Sue Beyle of the Outreach Department, Sue Curcio, Director of The Day
Center and co-directors; Joseph Manson, Sharon Chatham and Eric Roth, Sue
Wangerman and Georgia Neill, Wellness and Mental Health Counselors, Janet
119
Reinhardt and Jane Higgins, Fitness Instructors. Additional recognition must be given
to Van Drivers: Laird Anthony, Bud Hale, Bill Hannon and Hughes Wagner; The Front
Desk Principal Clerks; Kelly Ekstrom and Brenda Fernandez; Office Manager, Donna
Faivre; Chefs Nick Demetris and Josh Kanaga; Custodians John Jennings and Scott
Wood.
One can see from the many and diverse offerings that we have come a long way in the
last ten years. Through the direction and commitment to the Council, our Director,
Elizabeth Smith, has provided the impetus to create a Senior Center which has become
a role model for the Cape. Our motto for the next ten years should be "the best is yet to
come".

Joseph A. Di Bridiga, Chairman
CULTURAL COUNCIL
In 2009, The Orleans Cultural Council received a $4300 grant from the Massachusetts
Cultural Council to be awarded to individuals and organizations that specialize in the
arts, humanities and interpretive sciences.
A wide variety of applications were submitted and those chosen demonstrated unique
talents which helped to build community across generations in Orleans. Grant recipients
were: Alzheimer's Services of Cape Cod, Cape Cod Opera, Cape Museum of Fine Arts,
Meeting House Chamber Music and Orleans Historical Society. Individual performers
were Richard Hamelin, Jay Mankita, Diane Mellin and John Root.
Eating healthy and getting exercise became fun for students at the Orleans Elementary
School with Jay Mankita, in his performance, "Eat Like A Rainbow." The wonders of
throwing clay on a potter's wheel was demonstrated by Richard Hamelin in his
performance "Magic Potter's Wheel." Diane Mellin inspired future musicians with a
program exploring musical instruments from bagpipes to banjos in her "Musical
Outreach Program."
An afternoon of reminiscing and fellowship was presented by John Root, in a cabaret of
swing and jazz for seniors at the Orleans Council on Aging. Cape Cod Opera presented
highlights from Puccini's `Tosca' to demystify opera for Nauset Regional High School
students. A Summer Chamber Music Series, which provided a cultural alternative for
both residents and vacationers, was presented by The Meeting House Chamber of
Music.
Cape Cod Museum of Fine Arts sponsored an student internship program, "Artworks."
High school students were paired with professional artists in an 8 week program to
assist them in developing a portfolio and to view the art world from a business
perspective.
Knowing the artistic stimulation can serve as an effective communication tool, The
Alzheimer's Services of Cape Cod created a program, modeled after one developed by
New York's MOMA, to engage both the memory impaired patient and their caregiver.
Local galleries and museums opened their doors to discuss local artists and their art in
an afternoon of learning and discovery.
120
The 2009 grant year closed in December with a presentation by The Orleans Historical
Society of "Our Children's Heritage." Members of the Historical Society helped 5th
grade students in Orleans Elementary School bring history alive through discussion and
field trips. The project finished with a display of the student's paintings of historic
buildings and sites.
To celebrate National Student Art Month, the Orleans Cultural Council presented art
work from our local middle and high school students. More than 45 students
submitted work in various media, including linoleum block, tempera, oil, pastel and
water colors. Opening night drew an enthusiastic crowd of students, parents, teacher
and residents.
The Orleans Cultural Council oversaw the "exchange" of artwork between the Orleans
Council on Aging and Orleans Town Hall. Those visiting town hall can now see how
local artists have captured the uniqueness of Cape Cod in various media.
The coordination and installation of two historically significant oil paintings was
coordinated by the Orleans Cultural Council. One painting, signed by W.F. Collum,
depicts the Jonathan Young Windmill. The other painting is unsigned and depicts
another Orleans windmill. Both paintings, oil on wood, are on loan from The Orleans
Historical Society.
In an effort to make Orleans history more accessible to all, the Orleans Cultural Council
facilitated the installation of photographs from the Harry J. Sparrow Photo Archive in
the Skaket Room of town hall. On loan from the Orleans Historical Society, the photos
capture Orleans residents at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century.
The Orleans Cultural Council also participated in the Open Forum at the Snow Library
on the library's future space needs, as seen from an artistic perspective.
The Orleans Cultural Council has developed a proposal to acquire a professional
picture display system for town hall. Known as the Walker Tracking System, the
picture display system would be purchased with funds from The Woody Sparrow Fund.
The picture display system would facilitate the installation of graphic and informational
displays, in addition to local artwork.

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.
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
121
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 2009 Annual Town Meeting 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 Meeting.
Two events had a significant impact on the Finance Committee's actions during calendar
year 2009:
1. Significant changes in the economic conditions of the country, state, county and
town.
2. The passage of the Draft Wastewater Comprehensive Management Plan at Special
Town Meeting in October, 2008.
Economic Conditions:
The decline in the economy affected the town by lowering the amount of state aid
received, lowering the town's investment income, both for the town's investments and
investment of the pension funds, and lowering specific revenues such as motor vehicle
excise tax. School budgets were significantly affected by lowering of reimbursement for
special student programs and transportation budgets for regional schools.
The committee worked with Town Administration and departments and the Board of
Selectmen trying to find ways to curtail expenses while minimizing the affect on services.
The Finance Committee also evaluated and made recommendations on several
alternative sources of revenue such as local options for meal tax, hotel tax, and resident
beach use.
Wastewater
The Finance Committee scheduled presentations by the Validation Committee to evaluate
the affect of their findings on the financial costs of the Town's wastewater project. The
Committee evaluated the financial estimates in the Draft Comprehensive Wastewater
Management Plan as passed at Town Meeting as well as the financial estimates on the
benefits of regionalization. The Committee requested that the Town Administration and
Board of Selectmen consider hiring independent resources to evaluate and update the
financial requirements for meeting the environmental objectives detailed in the plan both
through conventional sewering approach and alternative technologies such as cluster
systems.
The Committee's special emphases for the calendar year 2009 were as follows:
• Review the Town Building maintenance budgets as well as the condition and
utilization of the various town properties/facilities.
• Develop a financial baseline for various Water and Waste Water Management
options.
122
• Analyze options regarding Wind Energy Program for related expenses and
potential revenue.
• Analyze School expenses within current environment of flat or declining
enrollment and increasing labor costs.
• Review the Capital Improvement Plan for need, accuracy, timelines and impact
on future budgets.
• Review methods of obtaining Grant programs and opportunities for Town
projects.
• Meet with and review mutually beneficial opportunities with Finance Committees
from neighboring towns.
These efforts will continue in calendar year 2010.

Walter L. Bennett, Chairman
FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT
The following is a report for the Orleans Fire and Rescue Department for 2009:
To say it was another busy year is the understatement of the year. Most years we report
of our calls going up and this year is no different. While the number only increased by
30 calls the number of Advanced Life Support calls went up 23%. The number of
transports to Cape Cod Hospital went up 9%. All of this translates into our types of calls
are far more labor intensive which costs us more to deliver our services. The harsh
reality is we need to add staff but it is impossible during this economic crisis. With
budgets staying level and calls going up our only avenue is to use some of our training
monies for responses.
Barnstable County Sheriff's department continues to receive all of the Orleans 911 calls
and dispatches the calls for the Orleans Fire and Rescue Department. This is the most
efficient and cost effective method we have found to handle our necessary radio traffic.
In addition the staff at the Sheriff's office dispatches all mutual aid requests for the
county.
We are now in our 21St year at the 58 Eldredge Park Way location and building and
while the building is showing signs of aging we continue to invest in timely repairs to its
infrastructure.
We have replaced two facades of exterior trim with one more planned for FY10. We
were hoping for the Feasibility Study and subsequent additions before replacing the
fourth side. We run the risk of damage to the building if plans are put off to long. The
same holds true for the planned roofing to the building. We are now finding yearly
problems with our overhead doors for the apparatus bays and the repair costs would be
better well spent in full replacement.
This year we have replaced the Chief's vehicle, a Chevy Tahoe that had quite a repair
history, with a 2010 Ford Edge. While the trunk space still remains an issue it is
comfortable and goes well during the storms we have seen so far. Late in December we
took delivery of a new service truck a Ford F350 which is a great towing vehicle and can
handle the largest trailer if the Brush Truck is not available. The older service truck will
become the maintenance vehicle and we have retired a 1977 Dodge used for that
purpose.
123
Our Apparatus committee has been hard at work planning a Pumper replacement.
Many of the manufacturers now produce a customizable Stock Pumper which may suit
our needs and hold the price to within our budget.
Our Assistance to Firefighters grant is closing out with the introduction of a Vehicle
Exhaust system for the basement apparatus bays, where our Gym is located along with
the trucks. In addition we have a filling station for our tanks. With our training budget
being used for responses at least we can have unlimited on duty SCBA training in
house without running out of air. This training is only one area of our highly technical
jobs.
2009 Emergency Medical Services Report
The delivery of Emergency Medical Services continues to be an important mission of
the Orleans Fire Department. Our personnel arrive on the scene or emergencies within
8 minutes of the request. Our Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics
continue to deliver the highest quality pre-hospital care available. Next year we will
replace our oldest ambulance. Prices have gone up with vendors not supplying certain
brands any longer. This year, our Emergency Medical Services providers saw new
statewide treatment protocols that added more skills and medicines that allow us to
better care for our patients. Along with the new protocols, came more strict
requirements for Quality Assurance to further ensure high standards of patient care are
met. Late this year, the Orleans Fire Department established an electronic patient care
reporting system, adding improved airway management equipment, and additional in-
service training. These improvements will allow our department's Emergency Medical
Technicians and Paramedics to deliver the best possible pre-hospital treatment to the
taxpayers and visitors of Orleans.
Statistics keep advancing; each of the four shifts handles 18.5% of the calls. The
remainder of our call volume is 26% of simultaneous calls which are conducted by off
duty staff that return to answer additional calls. Of this 20% were 2 calls going on at
once and 4% on top of that having three calls at once.

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION COMMITTEE
We are pleased to provide this annual message on behalf of the Orleans Fourth of July
Celebration Committee.
The 2009 Orleans Fourth of July Celebration activities began on Friday July 3, 2009
with a fabulous Fireworks display set off from Rock Harbor at dusk. The display,
presented by Atlas Pyrotechnics, was spectacular as was the spirit of those watching.
Again this year, the Fireworks were fullv funded by private donations collected by The
Friends of the Fourth.
The 4t" of July Parade stepped off from Eldredge Park Way at 10:00 am the following
morning, July 4, 2009. This year's Parade had one of the biggest crowds ever and the
weather was fabulous. The theme of this year's parade was "Hot Summer Days and
Cool Ocean Sprays". Trevor Collins, a student at the Orleans Elementary School,
created this slogan that won 1St Prize in the Orleans Elementary School Parade Theme
Contest.
Bruce Ayer was this year's Parade Grand Marshall. Bruce was a member of the first,
Town sponsored, Orleans Fourth of July Committee. After handing over the reins to a
new Committee, Bruce created The Friends of the Fourth, a private organization that
has raised funds to fullv pav for the 4t" of July Fireworks since July 2004.
As always, there were many creative entrants in the Parade as well as some old
favorites. We had 73 parade entries including businesses, families, antique cars, and
non-profits. In addition, we had military, police, and fire marching units, dignitaries, and
some fabulous bands. What a great turnout for both those in the Parade and those
watching.
125
We would like to thank all of the businesses that supported us with vehicles, drivers and
supplies. Also, many thanks for the hard work of the Orleans Police, Fire, Highway and
Harbormaster Departments. It is much appreciated
We are looking forward to next year's Fourth of July celebration activities. The
Fireworks will be displayed over Rock Harbor, at dusk, on Friday, July 2nd (with a rain
date of Monday, July 5t"). The Parade will step off on Saturday, July 3, 2010, at 10:00
am from Eldredge Park Way.

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 1,340 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 125 aids to navigation, vessel pump-out service, marine animal rescue,
herring run maintenance and restoration, marine rescue, emergency towing and
enforcement of all federal, state, and local laws, bylaws and regulations governing
boating and shell fishing.
Specific projects for the year were as follows:
• Shellfish Propagation Program. During 2009, our Department planted over 900,000
quahaugs in the waters of the Nauset and Pleasant Bay estuaries. In addition, we
continued our work with the Barnstable County Cooperative Extension 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 four years has been
exceptional and it is our intent to continue with our work with this species.
• Herring Run Maintenance. With assistance from the Massachusetts Division of
Marine Fisheries and the Cape Cod Commercial Hook Fishermen's Association, we
performed significant repairs to the fish ladder outlet located in Kescayogansett
Pond. Funding for this project was obtained through a grant from the Natural
126
Resources Conservation Service and the Massachusetts Division of Marine
Fisheries. We anticipate having all work completed for the spring fish run in 2010.
Many thanks to all those who lent their time and expertise to address this important
resource. Further, our Shellfish and Waterways Advisory Committee continued its
herring counting program to document the health of the population in Pilgrim Lake.
Many thanks to all of the volunteers who gave their time to this project.
Worthy of mention, lest we ever forget, was the return of bay scallops to the waters of
Orleans. Commercial and recreational harvesters continue to enjoy the most significant
crop of scallops that we have seen in nearly thirty years. We can only hope that this is
the start of a promising trend.
I would like to express my sincerest thanks to those residents and town employees who
so greatly assisted us during 2009. Specifically, I would like to thank Parks & Beaches
Superintendent Paul Fulcher, Fire Chief William Quinn, Deputy Fire Chief Tony Pike,
Police Chief Jeff Roy, Deputy Police Chief Scott MacDonald 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. I would also like
to thank the members of the Shellfish and Waterways Advisory Committee and
specifically Chairman Tim Linkkila 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.

• Repaired or rebuilt 30 catchbasins
• Awarded bid for the Town-wide Drainage Improvements Project which
includes drainage improvements on Finlay Road, Monument Road, Pochet
Road, Cross Road and Portanimicut Road. Construction began in November
with the installation of drainage on Finlay Road.
128
Water Quality Improvements:
• Completed the Monument Road/Crystal Lake Stormwater Mitigation Project
Other Projects:
• The department continued data collection of the Town's Stormwater
infrastructure for the development of a Geographical Information System (GIS)
database. The department completed mapping of all stormwater outfalls. This
mapping and database will bring us into compliance with the mapping component
of our NPDES Phase II stormwater discharge permit and will also help in the
planning of our drainage improvements and maintenance of the stormwater
drainage systems.
• In 2009, the department began data collection for the development of a GIS-
driven sign inventory program. This program will assist in management of our
sign replacements to insure that we maintain our signage for the safety of drivers
and for compliance with current and future regulations.
• The department continued to maintain and repair the town roadways. Significant
time and effort was spent addressing potholes, patching areas of deteriorated
pavement and the repair and improvement of berming and curbing.
• 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 270 tons of material from drainage structures. It should be
noted that the material generated from cleaning the drainage system is a
regulated waste material by the Department of Environmental Protection and its
disposal must be permitted. The Highway Department has secured a permit to
construct a vegetative berm at an area on the landfill site. The Highway
Department manages this material. The permit for the on-site stockpiling of the
catchbasin cleanings expires in October 2011.
• The Department swept up 967 tons of sand and debris from the roadways and
parking lots in 2009. The handling of the street sweepings is also regulated by
the Department of Environmental Protection. The Highway Department has
secured a permit to construct "sight berms" with the street sweepings in locations
around the landfill cap.
• 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 FY2009. The current facility is undersized therefore the
maintenance of larger trucks and equipment was performed either outside or at
the Highway facility on Bay Ridge Lane. 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.
129
During winter operations the Highway Department is responsible for preventing and
addressing icing conditions and the clearing snow from roadways, town facility lots,
town parking lots, the Nauset Regional Middle School, the Orleans Elementary School
and seven miles of town owned and state owned sidewalks.
In 2009 the department responded to 15 recorded winter storm events. Many of these
storms were of long duration requiring extended hours for treating the roads.
Approximately 300 tons of salt and an equal amount of sand were used over 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.
For most of 2009, one of our staff, Jacob Marshall, has been away serving our country
with his National Guard unit in Afghanistan. We look forward to his return.
My sincere gratitude goes to all the department staff and the staff of the Parks
Department and Water Department for their dedication and support in responding to
storms throughout the winter.

In 2009, the Transfer Station also collected and processed: paint (estimated 900
gallons), waste oil (1,550 gallons), used oil filters (0.5 tons), gasoline (400 gallons), and
antifreeze (150 gallons).
The Transfer Station also sponsored the Household Hazardous Waste Collection event
again in 2009. A summary of the materials collected during the event is available at the
Transfer Station or on the Town website.
The Transfer Station generated the following revenue in 2009 (not including sticker
sales):
Gate Collections: $75,516, Batteries: $847, Cardboard: $1065,
Plastics: $436, Paper: $400.
In 2009, the Department also continued to operate and maintain the Landfill Methane
Gas Collection system. The system consists of a series of wells and piping connected to
a flare system that burns the Methane gas being produced by the rubbish under the
Landfill Cap. A significant amount of time, effort and funding is required for this task.
The staff of the Transfer Station is available to discuss any questions or comments
concerning solid waste disposal issues.
Tree Department:
The Tree Department improves and maintains the Town's Urban Forest. The duties and
responsibilities associated with roadside trimming, tree planting and tree maintenance
are year-round tasks. The Department continues to focus on a proactive approach to
roadside cutback work to remove and regain control over unwanted vegetation. This
ensures a safe roadside and improves roadside maintenance efficiency. Safety is the
first priority but we also improve the forest by selecting the best plants during this
ongoing process. This year's roadside cutback efforts were concentrated in South
Orleans.
Orleans has a number of mature American Elm trees that have survived the Dutch Elm
disease. These trees require annual maintenance in the form of fungicide injections and
careful pruning to improve the long term survival of these heirloom trees. Tracking
existing and introduced trees requires a suitable long term management plan. The first
step is to complete the town-wide tree inventory. At present over 4000 trees have been
assessed and are available on the Orleans GIS for planning and mapping purposes.
Other Notable accomplishments:
• The "Tree Warden of the Year" memorial award was presented to Daniel
Connolly from the Massachusetts Tree Warden's and Forester's Association.
131
A dedication ceremony for local dignitaries and peers was held in downtown
Orleans. The Town of Orleans accepted a plaque and Elm tree to celebrate
Arbor Day.
• The Town of Orleans has received the Tree City USA Award from the
Massachusetts DCR Urban and Community Forestry Program. This is the 12th
consecutive year that we have received this prestigious award.
• Sponsored 3rd Arbor Day Event at Bike Path forest restoration site. Ameri-
Corp volunteers planted 8 large trees donated by NStar.
• Awarded an Ameri-Corp intern two days a week for one year. This is the third
intern the Tree Department has accepted from Ameri-Corp Cape Cod. This
individual will continue to work on Tree Inventory.
• Tree Warden participated as a guest speaker for Cape Cod Cooperative
Extension's annual review. The topic was Orleans Town wide Tree Inventory.
• The Tree Department continued coordination with the Ameri-Corp volunteer
group program. This year's projects included environmental work at the
Orleans Middle School, Orleans Elementary School and the Orleans Rail Trail.
• The Tree Department reached a significant milestone with Ameri-Corp. We
just surpassed 6000 hours of quality volunteer hours working with the Tree
Warden.

HISTORICAL COMMISSION
The Commission met on 9 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 8 -
• Informal hearing held as a result of a request from Trevor Kurz to demolish a
house at 240 Brick Hill Rd. The Commission expressed the opinion that Mr. Kurz'
willingness to replicate certain parts of the structure was, while not a preservation
strategy, preferable to an open-ended demolition without any controls over the
final product. The Commission decided to review Mr. Kurz' plans and elevations
for rebuilding prior to making a final decision.
February 11 -
• Mr. Kurz returned to the Commission and informed the members that he had re-
thought his decision to demolish and would rebuild the house, making certain
alterations. The Commission approved Mr. Kurz' plan.
May 21 -
• Meeting to discuss an application from Paul Rooker to demolish a small portion
of the house at 12 Tar Kiln Road. The Commission found that the small
demolition and alterations to the existing structure were not destructive of the
historical character and were needed for the ongoing functionality of the house,
and approved the request.
132
July 28 -
• Meeting to discuss an application from Chad and Susan Small to demolish a
portion of their house at 174 Main Street in East Orleans. The Commission
reviewed drawings for an addition to replace the demolished portion and
approved the demolition.
August 26 —
• Meeting to review application from the owners of a house at 646 South Orleans
Road to demolish a substantial portion of the house and make extensive
additions. After discussing the value of the original house and concluding it was
not a significant piece of the Orleans cultural heritage (having been built as a
vacation cottage, probably in the 1920's) the Commission approved the
demolition request.
November 13 —
• Public Hearing on a request by Todd Thayer to demolish a structure at 120
Route 6A — the former Percival House. The Commission presented the applicant
and his attorney Duane Landreth with historic photos of the building and tales
(presented by Ms. Snow, the Historian of the Orleans Historical Society) of the
building's past. The Commission argued that the structure was of a level of
significance that it should be preserved as an important element of the Town of
Orleans' history. Mssrs. Thayer and Landreth indicated that should a prospective
owner wish to preserve the building they would be directed to the Historical
Society for photos and history, but that they nevertheless required the assurance
of demolition. The Commission voted unanimously to invoke the 12 month
demolition delay.
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:
April 27:
• Reaardina the Vocalian organ owned by the Orleans Historical Society.. CPC
funds were requested to restore the organ. The Commission supported the
request, noting the information in the restoration report prepared by Joseph
Sloan, organ restorationist, to the Society.
3. On April 27th the Commission supported a funding request being made by the
Orleans Historical Society to the Massachusetts Historical Commission for work on the
Coast Guard rescue boat# 36500.
4. The Commission provided input to a study of cultural landscapes in the Town of
Orleans being carried out under the auspices of the Cape Cod Commission. A meeting
was held on June 6, to discuss the Town and its landscape resources with Sarah Korjeff
of the CC Commission and the person carrying out the study - Eleanor Cox, an intern
from the Columbia University School of Architecture, Preservation Program. Orleans
planner George Meservey, and Patricia Crow, local Orleans Landscape Architect,
attended the meeting with the members of the Commission.

JOINT COMMITTEE ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING
In 2009, the Joint Committee on Affordable Housing transitioned to an Affordable
Housing Committee. The 12-member Joint Committee was composed of members of
the Housing Task Force and the Orleans Housing Authority. This larger group was
responsible for developing programs to increase the supply of affordable housing during
its tenure.
The change to an Affordable Housing Committee is intended to allow a smaller
committee to work to fulfill the affordable housing goals of the Orleans Comprehensive
Plan. The information gained over the years has helped the Town to create a regulatory
environment that encourages small, affordable apartments in commercial buildings,
while allowing multifamily housing in the Town's business districts.
The committee chair is grateful for the efforts of the many Joint Committee members
over the years, as well as the support of the non-profit Friends of Orleans Affordable
Homes. It is hoped that the change to a new Affordable Housing Committee will help the
Town to make progress to allow Orleans to continue to contain a mix of housing types
available to people of diverse economic means.

Rosalie Cameron, Chairman
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.
Summer sampling of our embayments continued at three locations along Cape Cod
Bay, three in Nauset estuary and nine in the Orleans' section of Pleasant Bay. Nitrogen
added from septic systems, fertilizer use, and road runoff continues to cause stress in
the marine environment with unhealthy levels of algae growth and low dissolved oxygen
at many stations. This is particularly acute in enclosed salt water ponds during the
summer months.
The Freshwater Lake and Pond Monitoring Program continues 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 2009,
freshwater pond samples were collected by volunteers from 20 Orleans ponds. This
summer water quality continued its slow decline although only one acute incident was
reported. The cool weather reduced stress on freshwater ponds. Citizens can reduce
the rate of deterioration of water quality in our ponds by reducing the use of fertilizers
and choosing to use dishwashing detergents that do not contain phosphorus. Note that
in July 2010, all dishwashing detergents by law will not contain phosphorus. This
change is currently being made in products appearing on the supermarket shelves.
We thank the citizen volunteers who collected data on our ponds and estuaries this
year.
134
Volunteers are needed each summer to carry out monitoring in our estuaries and
freshwater ponds. In 2010 additional stations will be added to the estuary monitoring.
Those willing to walk along a beach or take samples from a boat, canoe or kayak are
urgently needed. Training will be provided. Please leave your contact information with
the Planning Department at Town Hall. (508-240-3700 x435)
In addition, the Task Force provided water quality monitoring and logistics support for
two research projects: 1.) a National Parks Service nutrient and eelgrass monitoring
study and 2.) a study of Cedar Pond conducted by SMAST. Two automatic recording
devices were deployed in Cedar Pond for two months during the summer to determine
fluctuations in depth, salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and algae growth. Algae
blooms indicative of plentiful nutrients, very low levels of oxygen in the bottom layer of
water, pulses of seawater during very high tide cycles, and storm water runoff during a
rainy summer combine to create a highly enriched eutrophic salt pond. Observers noted
both freshwater and marine organisms surviving in the pond.
Members of the Task Force aided the Highway Department by defining the location of
storm drains and remediation units along roadways by use of the Town's GPS system.
Recommendations for remediation projects on the following ponds were sent to the
Highway Department for inclusion in future work plans and budgets: Bolands, Cedar,
Lonnie's and Uncle Harvey's. In addition, members volunteered for herring counts to
monitor the migration of herring into Pilgrim Lake.
A continuing project for the coming year will be the consolidation into a database of the
data from ten years of sampling both freshwater ponds and estuaries.
The Task Force noted the passing of Selectman John Hinckley, Jr. who was the BOS
liaison to the group for many years. His knowledge of local waterways and valuable
counsel are missed. Bob Wineman retired from the Task Force this year after more
than ten years of service to the Town. His efforts added significantly to our
understanding of water quality in Pleasant Bay.

NAUSET REGIONAL SCHOOL COMMITTEE
MISSION STATEMENT
"We exist to educate each student to the highest attainable levels of academic
excellence, social responsibility, and cultural awareness."
"For a sailor without a port, there is no such thing as a fair wind." (old nautical truism)
The port that allows the Nauset Public Schools to determine if a wind is fair is our
Mission Statement. Are we making progress toward the port of academic excellence,
social responsibility, and cultural awareness? The answer is a resounding yes!
135
SOME OF THE YEAR'S MANY HIGHLIGHTS
Nauset Regional Middle School:
Academics: 90% of students in Language Arts and 75% of students in Math score at
the advanced or proficient level on the state MCAS tests.
Cultural Awareness: Before and after school programs in drama and art club; Music
programs include band, orchestra, and chorus; foreign language programs in 7t" and 8t"
grades; class trips to historical and cultural destinations.
Nauset Regional High School:
Academics: Nauset students scored in the top 10% of MCAS scores in both Math and
English; 300 students enrolled in Advanced Placement; 85% of graduates went on to
higher education; received a Silver Medal from U.S. News & World Report for having
34.6 College Readiness Index.
Social Responsibility: Over 3000 hours of community service was performed by last
year's students, students participated in 21 various community and/or non-profit groups;
students are actively involved in The Human Rights Academy of Cape Cod.
Cultural Awareness: NRHS students hosted a Social Justice Day on campus; students
are actively involved in The Haiti School Project; World Music Ensemble performed at
numerous events; Nauset Drama students won the state performance for the second
consecutive year; Art students won four Boston Globe art awards.
During the past year we have seen a change in leadership in the district for the first time
in 17 years. Our long serving and outstanding superintendent, Michael Gradone, has
moved into retirement. Dr. Richard Hoffmann has assumed the role of superintendent
following his tenure as superintendent of the Ashland, Massachusetts schools. While
taking over a successful and robust Nauset District, Dr. Hoffmann is faced with helping
us maintain the progress of past years while having to confront the serious fiscal crisis
that has affected Nauset schools as well as the entire four town community.
Meeting this fiscal crisis has resulted in significant cuts to both staff and programs at the
high school and middle school. Further reductions threaten our ability to provide the
quality of education our citizens and taxpayers have come to expect. While federal
stimulus dollars have been helpful, they are time limited. Continued cuts in state
reimbursement easily offset the gains from the federal stimulus. The key issue that we
must address is the question of sustainability. How do we sustain our schools pursuant
of our mission?
The Nauset Regional School Committee is dedicated to this goal and has made every
effort to achieve our mission. We thank our staff, parents, town officials, citizens, and
taxpayers for their ongoing support and encouragement.

OLD KING'S HIGHWAY REGIONAL HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMITTEE
Old King's Highway Regional Historic District Committee
The Old King's Highway Regional Historic District Committee, acting under
Massachusetts General Law Chapter 470, Acts of 1973, as amended by Chapter 278
and 845, Acts of 1975, reviews applications of residents of the district for
appropriateness.
The Committee met twelve times in 2009. Nine Certificates of Exemption were accepted
and 16 Certificates of Appropriateness were approved.
There are currently no fees for application. The Committee recommended to the Town
Administrator that a nominal $10 fee apply for a Certificate of Exemption. The
Committee recommended a $25 fee to apply for a Certificate of Appropriateness, which
requires legal advertisement. The Committee also recommended that applicants
reimburse the Town for the cost of mailing abutter notifications.

OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE
Last year, the Committee reported that 5.0 acres of open space were protected
permanently in 2008 through the Town's purchase of additional holdings from the
Sparrow family of South Orleans. In November 2009 the Town received a federal grant
in the amount of$300,000 for this purchase.
Although the Committee did not propose any public land acquisitions in 2009 it is
involved in negotiations that may lead to the acquisition of additional public open space.
The committee is currently working with its counterparts in the Town of Brewster in an
effort to protect as much as 36 acres of land located in the Zone II of contribution to the
Orleans well fields.
During 2009 the Committee continued to work closely with the Orleans Conservation
Trust. The Trust was able to protect an additional 12 acres of land in Orleans by
receiving and holding permanent Conservation Restrictions.
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 in
1999, over 259 acres of land have been protected. Thus 65% of the 20-year goal has
been achieved in the first 10 years
Major efforts by the Orleans Conservation Trust and the Friends of Pleasant Bay
through private fund raising for land purchases and through assistance to land owners
to preserve land with Conservation Restrictions has made a significant addition to
earlier Land Bank efforts. Completing the remaining 35% of the 400-acre goal is very
important but will be considerably more difficult now that Land Bank funding has been
eliminated. It is clear that additional conservation restrictions, private donations, joint
137
public/private efforts and zoning changes will play an increased role in achieving the
400 acre objective of the Plan.

ORLEANS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Orleans Elementary School continues to strive for and maintains a proud heritage of
overall excellence and strong academic achievement within this community based,
culturally rich learning environment. Generous business partners in education, parental
support, involvement of community based organizations and local volunteers are
abundant, incessantly working in tandem to forge a joint partnership with our dedicated
staff to adequately reach the full realm of learners present. Pre-K-Grade 5 student
enrollment averaged 200, with the special needs population registering a continual drop
in numbers. Alternately, the type and range of service provision required continued to
expand with the addition of English Language Learner assistance, an out of district
behavior based placement, and individualized service provision for an intensive special
needs student. A focus on the expansion of educational enrichment opportunities for
students was also begun and continues into 2010.
Personnel changes were minimal including the replacement of our Speech Language
Pathologist, the hiring of an additional Kindergarten Teacher due to increased
enrollment during the summer months, and expansion of secretarial staff from one full
time ten month employee to two to assist in streamlining daily office functions.
Educational Assistants were reassigned based on adjusted need with an overall
decrease of 1.5 employees for the start of the school year. There were no retirements
registered during 2009.
Academic achievement focus areas remained the honing of general instruction of core
subject areas in literacy, math and writing through an integration of the arts and multiple
subject areas simultaneously. Collaborative work between staff members on
incorporating the Principles of Effective Teaching and Standards Based Education into
daily instruction supported this effort. We are proud to report that overall MCAS student
performance levels in mathematics, literacy and science continue to be ranked very
high.
Curriculum relevant field trips and cultural events are considered important
cornerstones to the expansion of classroom instruction and students' experience
background at OES. Various grants, the school budget and PTC funds supported trips
to Plimouth Plantation, Boston Museum of Science, Pleasant Bay and its surrounding
locations, Cape Cod Museum of Natural History, Cape Cod Museum of Art, Historic
Tours of Orleans, Wellfleet Audubon Center, Snow Library, Orleans Fire Station and
Orleans Convalescent and Retirement Home. Cultural events were numerous with just
a sampling including an author visit by Jim Arnosky, environmental support by the
Coastal Explorer Program, Waterworks by Americorps Cape Cod, health and wellness
support with Eat Like a Rainbow by Jay Mankita, and Bay State Educators on Colonial
Life
Technology was updated in classrooms with the purchase of 13 new PC computers,
along with a mini technology lab set up in the Library with 9 additional units. The
integration of technology into learning was assisted through the combined effort of the
138
Technology Teacher and classroom staff. Staff were also provided the opportunity to
participate in mini technology workshops scheduled throughout the school year for
those interested.
Health and Wellness took a more prominent role in the school with regular health
classes twice a month added for students in Gr. 1-5. Health screening under the
direction of the School Nurse, dental screenings and on-site Forsyth Dental care were
provided to assist families in maintaining student health. An H1 N1 Immunization Clinic
and an increased focus on hand-washing and preventative measures with the flu were
also provided to support the needs of students and the community.
Professional development for staff encompassed primarily in-district workshops and
committee based activities, of which OES staff were active participants. Professional
development topic areas included English Language Learner Category trainings, an
array of student enrichment approaches through the Gateway Project, Key Vocabulary,
Key III Comprehension, Math Assessment, Data Analysis in varied forms and Open
Court core literacy program trainings. Staff members were also involved on committees
to revamp district report cards, complete holistic scoring for the Writing Prompt and
updating the Core Literacy Classics being taught on each grade level.
Building safety and security was paramount with regular procedural practices of fire
drills and lockdown scenarios throughout the year. A representative from the Orleans
Police Department visited student lunch blocks three times per month following an
information presentation to all grades in October. The Orleans Fire Department also
provided informational sessions and sponsored the Firefighter Phil program.
Progressive physical plant projects continued with the replacement of five more 16 foot
blackboards with whiteboards, the removal of worn carpeting in five classrooms with the
and cutting back of overgrown trees and forest growth surrounding the building and
playground. General maintenance and upkeep of the physical plant and equipment
continued, along with painting and the completion of yearly service contracts.
Orleans Elementary School, its staff and community members set the stage for a vibrant
and enriching learning environment in 2009. It is through this combined effort that we
pledge our continued commitment into 2010.

PARKS & BEACHES
Piping Plovers, Least Terns, Common Terns, Diamondback Terrapins, Great White
Sharks, storms, erosion, inclement weather, cranes and lost camps were the main news
at the Beaches in 2009.
Vehicle closures on portions of Nauset Spit started on May 30, 2009. The Spit was
closed completely to vehicle traffic from June 25 to July 7. Portions of Nauset Spit
remained closed to vehicle traffic until August 16 when the entire stretch of Nauset Spit
was opened to vehicle traffic. On August 23, 24 and 30 Nauset Spit was closed to
vehicle traffic due to Hurricanes Bill and Danny.
On the South end of Nauset Beach trails were closed to all except essential vehicles by
escort from May 30 to August 5.The South End was also closed to vehicle traffic on
August 23, 24, 25 and 30 due to Hurricanes Bill and Danny.
139
A major Northeast storm which occurred over a three day period during astronomically
high tides caused severe erosion along the entire stretch of Nauset Beach in June. The
entire summer berm was washed away leaving little room to sit or drive on to begin the
summer season.
On June 13, contractors were escorted to two camps in Chatham so they could be
moved back hoping to prevent them from toppling into the sea. On June 24, a Crane
was escorted to the five remaining camps in Chatham. One camp was placed on a
barge and removed to Ryder's Cove Parking Lot in Chatham, three Camps were razed,
and the remaining one was moved back to the Northwest corner of the owner's
property. This Camp was later succumbed by the sea and removed in the fall, so there
are no more camps remaining in Chatham. The Inlet has somewhat stabilized and is
growing Southwest (mostly west).
The South end was first closed due to unfledged Threatened Piping Plover chicks and
could have been open to vehicle traffic on July 10, if not for the fact that Least Terns (a
species of special concern) moved from Nauset Spit and nested in the Pochet Wash
over causing the trail to be closed until August 5.
A Diamond back Terrapin (endangered Species) nested in the Pochet wash over area
for the first time causing vehicle traffic to be rerouted during September.
A new contract has been voted on with Chatham for the operation of the South end of
Nauset Beach. To date it has not been signed and sealed.
Meetings continue with State and Federal Fish and Wildlife Agencies regarding
restrictions on Off Road vehicle closures, parking lot and public Beach closures due to
nesting and unfledged birds.
Over the past three years the number of Parking Lots (or portion of) closed along with
closures of Public Beaches continues to grow each year. So everyone knows this is not
just an Off Road Vehicle issue, but it is affecting local parking receipts in many Towns.
The number of closures will continue to affect our Beaches and will grow as the
numbers of Piping Plovers and Least Terns grow This will affect our year-round
residents and the value of their property as well as our tourist Industry.
Off Road vehicle receipt were down seven percent and would have been down further if
not for the Agreement with Chatham that allows us to keep all of the Non Resident
O.R.V. fees.
The number of Off Road Vehicle permits sold was as follows:
Orleans Resident Stickers 1937
Chatham Resident Stickers 345
Non- Resident over sand Stickers 869
Non- Resident Self-contained Stickers 78
Camp Owner/ License holder Stickers 41
TOTAL 3270
Due to the number of days the Off Road Vehicle trails were closed this past year, we
expect a significant decline in our mail in program, as well as a significant drop in overall
sales for 2010.
Monitoring and protection of Endangered, Threatened, and species of special concern
continued as required by the Orders of Conditions to operate Nauset Beach from our
local Conservation Commission and the State Department of Environmental Protection.
Species protected under this program include Piping Plovers, Least Terns, Common
Terns, Roseate Terns American Oyster Catchers and Diamondback Terrapins.
140
The following data was compiled for the 2009 season:
Piping Plovers 28 Pairs
Least Terns 24 Pairs
Common Terns 40 Pairs
Roseate Terns 0 Pairs
American Oyster Catchers 1 Pair
Diamond back Terrapins 1 Nest
The Productivity rate for Piping Plovers was 1.11 per nest. Least Terns saw a total of
three chicks fledge. Common Terns and American Oyster Catchers had zero fledge.
Eight of the twelve eggs from the Diamondback Terrapin nest hatched and moved into
the Marsh adjacent to the Pochet over wash.

*No statistical data from June, 12-26 and Aug., 18-Sept., 7 due to no Lifeguards on duty.
During the month of June we saw four sunny days and the month of July started with six
out of the first twelve being cloudy or rainy. Nauset Beach was closed to swimming for
two days due to High bacteria counts in July. Hurricane Bill and Danny closed Nauset
141
Beach for three days as there was no room to sit or stand on the Beach around high
tide. Swimming was closed or restricted on four days due to sightings of Great White
Sharks.
Given the aforementioned, we still had a good year revenue wise at the beach parking
lots. An electronic message board was rented and placed on the Mid-Cape Highway
before exit 12 to tell Beach visitors whether the Nauset Beach Parking lot was full or
parking was still available. It is estimated that this rental of equipment costing $3,500,
increased revenue by $32,000.
Skaket Beach parking lot continues to fill 80% of the days in July and August. Thirty to
eighty cars parked at the Captain Linnell triangle continues to overburden the Skaket
Beach facilities. Hopefully something will be done to correct the parking problem before
the 2010 season.
The Park Commissioners voted in late June, to require vehicles parking on the former
Gavigan property on Cape Cod Bay to have Orleans Beach parking stickers. Citations
for non compliance were given out in July and August. Word spread and it seems to
have solved a majority of the problem that occurred with overcrowding in that area.
The use of Playing Fields continues to increase, especially at Eldredge Field. The two
playgrounds are overcrowded on many days and need to be enlarged or have an
additional playground built.
The Parks Department has changed to an organically based Land Management
Program. All of the buildings cleaned by this Department which includes Town Hall,
Community Building, Legion Hall, Park Office, Nauset Beach, Skaket Beach, Pilgrim
Lake and the Music Shell are now cleaned with Green products that are environmentally
friendly.
Monday night Concerts at Nauset Beach continue to be a success. Four Concerts
occurred at Eldredge Park which was well attended. These will continue this upcoming
summer.
A new pedestrian Bus Shelter was installed next to the Cemetery in the center of Town.
This was due to the hard work of the Planning Department (kudos's George and John)
who applied for and received the grant as well as shepherding the building permit
through all the regulatory hurdles.
The Planning Department also received a grant to purchase two solar powered trash
containers. One will be placed at Center Cemetery, with the other one being paced at
Depot Square. (More kudos's)
The Orleans Improvement Association continues to contribute to the beautification of
town properties. This past year they donated monies for replacement of trees at
Eldredge Park, Christmas lights at the Village Green, and purchased a gas powered
walk-behind Compost Spreader to be used on town properties as part of our Organic
based Land Management program.
The Orleans Athletic Association received a Grant from the Yawkey Foundation for
$150,000 as part of an overall improvement project that will cost $350,000. All of the
work is contemplated to be completed by the spring of 2011.
In closing I would like to thank my entire staff for their hard work and dedication. The
taxpayers, visitors and I all appreciate your accomplishments and the services you
provide.
To all the other departments especially Planning, Conservation, Fire and Police my
sincere thanks for your continued cooperation in helping deliver services our taxpayers
and visitors are accustomed to receiving.

PERSONNEL ADVISORY BOARD
On May 6, 2009, the Personnel Advisory Board held a public meeting to consider a
proposed Article for the Town Meeting Warrant in May, 2009.
The Article was a proposed revision to the Orleans Personnel Bylaw that would fund a
3% cost of living adjustment for full and part-time employees covered by the Personnel
Bylaw Compensation plans.
This revision was APPROVED 3-0-0.
As of this date in 2009, 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.
Respectfully submitted,
Norris Shook, Chairman
PLANNING BOARD
In 2009, The Planning Board approved two Modification to Definitive Subdivision Plans
and the Planning Board also endorsed seven Approval Not Required Plans.
One public hearing was held for the trimming or removal of six trees; the request was
approved.
A new road known as Anthony Drive was constructed and approved by the Planning
Board. It is the access road for the Edgewater Condominium project off Route 6A.
The Planning Board developed five zoning amendments, of which four were approved
by the Annual Town Meeting. Most notable was a rewriting of the sign regulations.
Other amendments included updating the regulation on building setbacks from coastal
banks, various definition changes, and a reduction in building side setbacks to allow for
handicapped access. A proposed amendment to the definition of building height was
referred back to the Planning Board for further study.
The Board engaged in a study of how best to regulate formula-based businesses.
There was a consensus to complete the Village Center Economic Analysis before
proposing new regulations on such businesses. The economic study is being
coordinated for completion in 2010.
The Planning Board reviewed the Cape Cod Commission's updated Regional Policy
Plan, which sets forth region-wide land use policies to guide and direct future
development on Cape Cod. The Land Use Vision Map used to guide large development
proposals, was adopted by the Board during the RPP update process.
The Planning Board continues to maintain the Orleans Comprehensive Plan to ensure
that it is reflective of the interests and desires of residents for their town. At the end of
20097 94 of the 180 proposed action items have been completed.
143
Planning Board members also represent the Board by serving on the following
boards/committees: Sims McGrath, Jr. - Wastewater Management Steering Committee
and the Wastewater Management Validation & Design Committee; Sims McGrath, John
Fallender, and Chet Crabtree - Zoning Bylaw Task Force; John Ostman and Paul
O'Connor - Community Preservation Committee, Ken McKusick— Board of Water &
Sewer Commissioners.
Respectfully submitted,
John Fallender, Chairman
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
In 2009, the Planning Department supported a number of initiatives to implement the
Orleans Comprehensive Plan in addition to its regulatory functions. Significant efforts
were devoted to wastewater management planning, including working with regulatory
agencies and developing an Environmental Impact Report. A wastewater regionalization
study was completed, which demonstrates potential cost savings for towns working
together to address wastewater issues.
Other milestones of 2009 include the following:
• Supported the Planning Board's zoning amendment proposals for the Annual
Town Meeting.
• Completed a South Orleans bike path feasibility study using Community
Preservation funds, and began petitioning MassHighway on implementation
steps.
• Acted as the Town's liaison to the Cape Cod Commission for Developments of
Regional Impact, including the Community of Jesus (bell tower), Daniels
Recycling (withdrawn), Stop n Shop gas station, and the Orleans draft
Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan.
• Prepared a Commonwealth Capital Program application to ensure Orleans will
continue to score well on state grant applications.
• Developed a program to purchase and resell condominium units as affordable
housing.
• Provided GIS mapping for Town departments and committees.
• Developed GIS data for plover nests, public trees, and storm drains using a
Trimble GPS device.
• Coordinated planning issues related to water quality in Pleasant Bay through
participation in the Pleasant Bay Alliance.
• Developed a wind energy project to offset municipal electricity costs. Grants have
been submitted to support a single 600 MW turbine installed in the Watershed.
• Continued representation on the Regional Transit Authority and installation of a
bus shelter at 6A & Main Street.
Planning Department staff is grateful to serve the needs of residents by planning for
orderly development that is consistent with the interests of the community while
preserving the town's semi-rural character.

PLEASANT BAY ALLIANCE
The Pleasant Bay Alliance is an organization of the Towns of Harwich, Orleans, Chatham
and Brewster established to coordinate implementation of the Pleasant Bay Resource
Management Plan. The plan incorporates the Pleasant Bay Area of Critical Environmental
Concern (ACEC) and the 21,600-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 2009 include:
Barrier Beach and Inlet Dynamics
We continued to carefully monitor the dynamic conditions in the barrier beach and inlet
configuration. In order to assess potential changes to navigation, the Alliance
commissioned Coastal Engineering Company to conduct hydrographic surveys to
measure depths of navigation channels throughout the Pleasant Bay system, with a
special focus on areas affected by the new inlet. The Alliance also continued its work
with Dr. Graham Giese of the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies. Dr. Giese
presented his multi-year tide gage analysis and completed a study of inlet migration
over the next fifty years. The work of Dr. Giese and Coastal Engineering was presented
at the Alliance's annual symposium held at the Chatham Community Center in June.
Other speakers at the symposium included Ted Keon, Chatham Coastal Resources
Director, and Rob Theiler, a coastal geologist with the US Geological Survey and
specialist in relative sea level rise.
Water Quality
Thanks to our many dedicated volunteers and volunteer coordinators, the Pleasant Bay
Citizen Water Quality Monitoring Program completed its tenth year of sample collection.
Samples were analyzed at the UMASS School for Marine Science and Technology
Laboratory. Sixteen stations were monitored in 2009. Water quality data for the years
2000-2008 were compiled in a report for distribution early in 2010.
Wastewater Management
Progress within the four towns in the area of wastewater management continued to be a
focus of the Alliance. The Alliance reviewed and submitted comments to the MA
Environmental Protection Act (MEPA) office regarding the Orleans Draft
Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan. We also provided input on proposed
zoning bylaws which were submitted to Brewster Town Meeting, including the Natural
Resource Protection Design bylaw.
Our work on fertilizer management continued. The Alliance issued an RFP for
consultants to develop non-structural strategies to manage nutrient impacts form
fertilizer use. That project, funded by a grant from the Cape Cod Water Resource
Protection Collaborative, is set to begin in January 2010.
Muddy Creek Restoration
The Alliance continued its work to improve resource conditions in Muddy Creek. The
Alliance applied for and obtained provisional project status with the Massachusetts
Wetlands Restoration Program (WRP). The WRP sponsored a study of hydrodynamic
scenarios to determine the optimal culvert size to improve flow between Muddy Creek
145
and Pleasant Bay. The next step will be to assess water quality and other resource
impacts resulting from culvert widening. As a result of this work, the Muddy Creek
resource assessment was included for funding as a priority project under the Cape Cod
Water Resources Restoration Project, for which funding was recently authorized by
Congress.
No Discharge Area
With support from all four Boards of Selectmen and the Waterways Committees of
Orleans, Chatham and Harwich, the Alliance submitted an application to MA Coastal
Zone Management and the US Environmental Protection Agency to designate Pleasant
Bay and Chatham Harbor as a No Discharge Area. The designation would make it
illegal to discharge boat sewage that has been treated by a Marine Sanitation Device.
A decision on the application is expected in 2010.
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, Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies, Woods Hole
Sea Grant, Cape Cod Cooperative Extension, Friends of Pleasant Bay, Friends of
Chatham Waterways and Orleans Pond Coalition.
On behalf of the Alliance we wish to thanks the citizens of Orleans for your ongoing
support.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
It is my pleasure to present this annual report of the Orleans Police Department for
2009. As with all departments in Town, your police officers are continually searching for
ways to provide better service with less. The police department has decreased the
number of employees and is responding to more complex and difficult situations than at
any point in the past. I am extremely proud of the men and women who continually work
to make Orleans a safe and enjoyable community.
As this economy continues to struggle, law enforcement agencies throughout the
country are seeing a decrease in some types of calls for service while others, such as
domestic violence, are increasing. Our responses for domestic disturbances rose over
50% during 2009 as families are dealing with the loss or reduction of employment. Your
officers are trained to respond with empathy and attempt to provide services with the
goal of reducing repeat offenses and ending the cycle of violence.
146
Through education, enforcement efforts and working cooperatively with the town and
state highway departments to remedy deficiencies in some roads, our rate of motor
vehicle accidents continues to decrease. These rates have dropped from 462 reported
accidents in 2007 to 410 in 2008 and then down to 381 in 2009. A decrease of reported
crashes of over 17% in three years! We have also seen a 19% reduction in major
accidents and a reduction in accidents involving injuries as well. Grants sought after and
awarded by the Governor's Highway Safety Division allowed officers time to concentrate
on aggressive driving behaviors as well speeding, drunk driving and other major causes
of accidents.
Training in 2009 was and will continue to be a top priority. You deserve to have a well
respected professional police department and the officers who respond to your needs
should receive the best ongoing training that we can provide. Courses on the internet
and classes provided through the cooperative efforts of the Cape Cod Law Enforcement
Council brought quality instructors to Cape Cod. Both of these efforts cut down on travel
time so your department has improved while keeping costs low.
One of the biggest blows with this economy is the loss of several grants that allowed us
to bring community policing programs to Orleans. With the elimination of the Community
Policing Grant we may be forced to end our Block Party as well as other events unless
other funding sources can be found.
Lt. Kevin Wells, a veteran officer with over 30 years of service to this community, retired
in October. His experience, knowledge and outgoing personality will be missed not only
by officers and staff of the police department but also by the general public. He truly
epitomized the term "community policing" and was a great ambassador of Orleans. We
wish him and his family well in retirement. Sergeant Sean Diamond was promoted to
Lieutenant in November and will take over Kevin's duties and responsibilities and is
already redefining the role.
I will repeat again in this year's message that the continued combined cooperative
efforts of all town employees make Orleans a great place to live and work. Town
departments working as closely as we do with one common goal is unique and it is a
great pleasure to be part of this team. I would like to thank all of the residents and town
employees who assisted the police department over the past year. Specifically, I would
like to thank Harbor Master Dawson Farber IV, Parks and Beaches Superintendant Paul
Fulcher, Highway Superintendant Mark Budnick and Fire Chief William Quinn. Without
their constant effort and support we certainly would not be as successful as we are in
providing the quality police service you deserve.

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 concerned
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. The projects improve the environment and enhance its
observation skills and advisory judgments.
The members of the committee come from diverse interests and back grounds with
respect to the town's waters. They represent family and commercial fishermen,
aquaculturists, boaters and waterfront landowners.
The pressure on our Harbormaster/Shellfish Department continues. The demand for
water access, boat launching, parking and moorings increase yearly. In addition, due to
budget reductions, the departments shellfish propagation program funding was cut in
half. This will negatively impact future shellfish stocks. The department continues to do
an excellent job improving shellfishing opportunities and safeguarding our waterways.
While the slumping economy effects everyone there were bright spots in 2009. Through
the efforts of committee member Cecil Newcomb a monofilament line recovery/recycle
program was introduced. This involved the construction and placement of receptacles
for the deposit of discarded monofilament at twelve locations throughout town. The
program was generously funded by the Orleans Pond Coalition to whom we are very
grateful. The program was very successful in its first year and we expect it will increase
in the future. Discarded monofilament line is hazardous to marine life and birds and
removing this hazard has multiple benefits. The herring run count at Pilgrim Lake had a
full compliment of volunteers thanks to the fine efforts of committee members Bill
Mitchel and Judy Scanlon. Thanks to the many volunteers counters. While,
unfortunately, the number of returning herring were down from last year numbers
thousands of elvers (juvenile eels) were observed in the run at the entrance to the lake.
The committee will investigate possible modifications of the weir boards to ease the
passage of elvers into the lake.
Cecil Newcomb as assistant chair and Marty Leonard as secretary continue their
excellent service to the committee. Gerry Dorman, past chairman, has left the
committee after many years of outstanding service.
Our thanks to Dawson Farber, Harbormaster/Shellfish Constable, who provides us
timely information on the activities and events that effect waterways and shellfishing and
assists us in all endeavors. Selectmen's liaison, Dave Dunford's regular attendance and
sharing of pertinent information is very helpful and gratefully appreciated.

Tim Linkkila, Chairman

SITE PLAN REVIEW COMMITTEE
The committee provides guidance on development proposals to assist developers in the
understanding of the local permitting process. As authorized under zoning, the site plan
review process provides a low-cost way for development proposals to be reviewed in
advance of applications to other regulatory boards.
In 2009, ten meetings were held. There were a total of 15 Informal Site Plan Reviews
and 6 Formal Site Plans were approved.
Site Plan Review Committee members represent the following departments: Building,
Conservation, Fire, Health, Highway, Planning, and Water.

SNOW LIBRARY
Snow Library has been no exception to the economic vicissitudes of 2009 and it
appears economic changes and concerns will continue to impact the library in 2010.
After careful consideration, closing the Library on Sunday afternoons became the first
casualty. The Trustees, Library Staff and Friends are working hard to keep the
oncoming reductions and difficulties at the lowest possible level and yet retain the high
professional level of service, programs and library materials that Orleans' citizens
expect and rely upon. This will be no easy task and will require the unified work of
citizenry as well as employees and Trustees.
Despite the above, there have been many positive happenings at Snow Library. In the
November issue of Library Journal Snow Library was awarded three stars in a national
ranking based upon statistics submitted to the state (per capita circulation, visits, public
internet use, and program attendance). There are over 7,000 public libraries in the US
and only 278 were named as "Star Libraries" which were categorized into groupings
based on population and budget. This is a prestigious honor. Those interested can ask
for the article at the front desk.
The One Town One Book program was a continued success. Empire Falls, by Richard
Russo, was the featured book. Discussion groups were formed, a panel of experts
assembled and a fine introduction to the author and his work was presented by the
talented Douglas Parker. Copies were made available and many individuals attended
one or more of the activities. The positive response to both this and last years' One
Town One Book event strongly suggests that Snow Library has a new tradition.
As we grow with ideas and collections, space continues to be a concern. Space for
collections, programs, computer access, book sales, children's and young adult
activities, meeting rooms and maintenance all continue to be unsolved problems. As a
result, a Space Needs Study was held, led by Richard Waters of Godfrey's Associates.
Community input was obtained through public questionnaires, an online survey and
focus group meetings. These focus groups represented different groups (i.e.
grandparents, parents, professional people, retired people, etc.) in order to assess the
needs and wants of a broad spectrum of residents. At this time the final copy is being
152
drafted. It is our hope that we can use this information as we plan for the future of Snow
Library. Planning for the future remains a top priority.
The library remains a busy place. There were over 166,000 visits to the library in FY08;
an average of 525 people per day in October and 709 per day in July. Over 190,000
items were loaned and there was an average 350 uses of the computers every week.
Over 9,000 people attended library programs and over 318 meetings and classes were
held at Snow.
There are many special things about Snow Library. There is the Marion Craine Room, a
gallery for local artists past and present, young and old, to display sculpture,
embroidery, photography, and paintings. Authors, Lifetime Learning, citizen groups,
musicians and children's programs all share this center of learning. We have a lovely
children's area, staffed by a children's librarian who provides story hours, reading
groups and special programs. Reference librarians, a strong selection of reference
materials, newspapers, comfortable chairs, investment materials and large print books
are also available for the serious as well as the casual reader.
The wonder of Snow Library includes the hardworking and generous Friends of Snow
Library. The Friends support programs, materials and provide ideas. In 2008 this
dedicated group gave the library $43,000 as well as numerous hours of their time.
Memorial gifts were received in honor of Joann Insley, Doris Nickerson, Frank O'Neil,
Doris Schmid and Don Tomlin.
Others deserving thanks for their participation in making Snow Library special include
the Parks Department and the Orleans Highway Department, as well as all those at
Town Hall who in their own way help make government work a little easier for us. And
finally thanks to the committed, knowledgeable and friendly staff that always makes us
glad they are there and continue to provide excellent library service.
The year 2010 presents a challenge to all of us. We thank all of the Orleans' citizens for
their support and ask that it continue as we find ways to continue the tradition of
excellence for us and the future generations.
Respectfully submitted,
Megan Geist Fates, Chairperson
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
First and foremost, every citizen of Orleans should be very proud of their elementary
school. In 2009, our students continued to outperform schools across the state in MCAS
testing with Grade 3 students scoring #2 in reading and #31 in mathematics out of 299
Districts in Massachusetts. Grade 4 and Grade 5 results also placed Orleans in the top
14% or better in the State. At OES, our investment in small class sizes, technology,
individualized instruction, and a rigorous curriculum that engages our students' natural
curiosity have all paid huge dividends. But school is more than academic achievement
and at Orleans Elementary our students can express their creativity in art, music,
Spanish, and technology classes as well as explore the world of books and writing in
our library. We're also very proud of our physical education and wellness programs and
wish to thank the PTC for providing funds for so many activities that enrich the lives of
153
our students. Finally, OES wants to continue its tradition of involving citizens and
community organizations in our school and we invite you or your organization to partner
with us.
The Nauset Regional Schools (Grades 6-12) also turned in an outstanding performance
in the State MCAS testing with 96% of our high school students scoring advanced or
proficient in English and 91% of our students scoring advanced or proficient in
mathematics - significantly higher than the State average in both categories. Middle
School scores were also well above State averages. Nauset students also continued to
excel in the arts, drama, and music, representing our towns and winning major
competitions. Our success is certainly attributable to our students and families but it is
important for citizens to also know that Nauset teachers and staff are among the most
talented, caring and dedicated educators anywhere. This has been especially true as
we began the 2009-2010 school year with fewer staff and fewer resources due to the
severe economic climate. This has required everyone to do more with less and I am
proud to say we are doing so.
As I begin my tenure as your Superintendent, I implore you to become a partner with
me in ensuring the best education possible for our future leaders — today's students!
You have my pledge that we will do whatever it takes to maintain our excellent schools
in these difficult financial times. In this effort, we wish to thank our citizens of Orleans for
understanding and supporting the notion that strong schools make strong communities.
My door is open to you and I invite you to share your thoughts and ideas with me at
anytime. I am honored and privileged to be your Superintendent of Schools.

TOWN MAINTENANCE FACILITY FEASIBILITY STUDY COMMITTEE
The Town Maintenance Facility Feasibility Study Committee was charged with
evaluating existing conditions of the Highway, Parks, Tree, Water, and Harbormaster
Departments. Review their current departmental operations and project their space
needs over the next 10 years with the ultimate objective of working with a designer to
plan and execute a building program for a comprehensive Department of Public Works
facility.
Beginning in June of 2009, The Committee members interviewed the Highway Manager,
Park Superintendent, Water Superintendent, and Harbormaster. On site tours were
made of all their primary facilities. We also had the opportunity to visit the Town
Maintenance Facilities in the towns of Chatham, Brewster, and Wellfleet and
interviewed various management personnel at each.
Our charge also included specifically exploring possible opportunities at the existing
Massachusetts State Highway Garage facility located at Bay Ridge Lane, the former Tri
Town Compost structure, the buildings currently located off Giddiah Hill Road on the
Transfer Station site. We also included the former Legion Hall building adjacent to Town
Hall.
In January we presented to the Selectman an Interim Report including our findings to
date and look forward to completing our charge for this much needed facility.
154
We would like to particularly thank Jon Fuller of the Selectman's office and Dale Fuller
from the Finance Committee for their time, interest, and support.

TRI-TOWN SEPTAGE PLANT BOARD OF MANAGERS AND CHIEF OPERATOR
In 2005 Wright-Pierce completed a study at the direction of Tri-Town's Board of
Managers. This study, funded through a $50,000 grant from Barnstable County,
documented the needs of the facility as it approached the end of its 20-year useful life.
The final report as presented addressed three goals. First, determine the action needed
to extend the useful life of the existing facility and help with capital planning; second,
determine the suitability of the Tri-Town site for the future wastewater needs of the
Town of Orleans; and third, investigate what it would take to include de-nitrification into
the plant's current septage treatment process.
For 2009, the Chief Operator has outlined below the corrective action taken at the plant
since the completion of the report which at that time identified a minimum of $1.1 million
in needed high priority upgrades to prevent costly breakdowns that might lead to plant
shut downs. Tri-Town has no authority to borrow money and receives no budget
subsidy from the member towns. On an annual basis, operating revenues are limited to
septage disposal fees and while we have been able to budget up to $125,000 for capital
equipment replacement and $80,000 for general plant maintenance we have only been
able to address some of the recommendations in the report.
Since 2005, we have replaced critical components in the grit removal system and some
of the dewatering upgrades by rebuilding the hydraulics on one of the three filter press
feed pumps and one of the filter press plate shifters. We have also identified the major
system components that need to be replaced and a plan to install them should the
dewatering equipment be needed as part of Orleans future plans for the facility; rebuilt
the drives on all four Rotating Biological Contactors (RBC's); replaced worn gears,
along with the plastic media on the first stage of the #2 RBC unit; replaced the odor
removal system's blower; installed a new fire alarm system with smoke detection and a
new video security system; rebuilt the motor of the dump truck used to transport sludge
for disposal and replaced the dump body; replaced the sludge grinders; replaced 900
feet of wooden fencing around the perimeter of the property; and completed an upgrade
of the plant's existing microprocessor controls to the industry standard programmable
logic controllers.
The two most costly items identified in the report that still need to be addressed include
an upgrade of the dewatering system at a cost of $640,000 and a replacement of the
rotating biological contactors at a cost of $200,000, based on 2005 pricing. These units
pose the greatest risk for extended down time at the plant in the event of a failure. Our
current MassDEP groundwater discharge permit expires in December 2012 and it is not
known yet if the state will require de-nitrification equipment to be added to our process
which if needed will require a costly upgrade at the facility.
Presently, the Town of Orleans Comprehensive Wastewater Planning efforts are
ongoing and the future impact on Tri-Town's facilities and operations could be profound.
As a result it is increasingly difficult to plan for capital needs at the plant without knowing
155
the final direction that Orleans may choose to take and it is next to impossible to
determine which piece of equipment might fail during the town's final project planning
and design. Since most of the plant's equipment has outlived its 20- year useful life,
rather than investing our limited available resources on equipment that may end up not
being needed in the future, the approach has been to continue regular and corrective
maintenance of the equipment while increasing our capital reserve funding.
I would like to thank my fellow Board members Joy Brookshire, Town of Eastham and
George Flemming, Town of Brewster for their continued input.
Finally, I would like to recognize the significant efforts and cooperation of the entire Tri-
Town staff in making this past year so successful: Jay Burgess, Chief
Operator/Manager; Steve Brito, Assistant Chief Operator; Joe Martins, Operator; Paul
Southwick, Operator; Bill Grant, Weighmaster; Jim Nowack, Treasurer, and Cyndi
Bachman, Secretary.

VETERANS' GRAVES OFFICER
The year 2009 has been a year of mixed events. We have had many weather extremes
from being dry to more rain than needed. That also applies to the amount of wind we
have had over the year which raises havoc with the flags placed on each veterans
grave. This year for the first time since I have been doing the flags I ran out of flags
except for a few I keep in reserve to be placed on new graves which has seen an
increase each year. So if you see any graves with just a stick in the holder, come spring
and in anticipation with Memorial Day, a new flag will be placed. (Please don't remove
the bare sticks as this helps me identify where the flags go).
Again I wish to thank all of the students that Brian Bates brings from The Lighthouse
Charter School to help me in placing geraniums at all the veteran's graves. Without their
assistance I would never be able to plant the some 600 plants. Thank you to all those
students.
That said, in the interest of where we can make better use of the funds the Town
spends, geraniums will no longer be planted at each grave, beginning in 2010, as they
have in the past. The plants for the most part don't last more than a couple of weeks as
there is no one to take care of them and they frequently make it more difficult for the
care of the grounds. The funds that were used for the plants will now be used to replace
damaged, broken and missing markers. This was a difficult decision but I feel it makes
better use of funds.
If you are aware of a veteran's grave that does not have a marker please let me know
and I will place one.
Respectfully Submitted,
Peter C. Howerton, Veterans' Graves Officer

VETERANS' SERVICES
2009 has been an extremely difficult and most challenging year for Veteran's Services
due to the economic conditions and the ever expanding conflict overseas. The demand
for veteran's benefits has increased tenfold in the last 2 '/2 years.
Throughout the district we have seen over 6,000 walk-ins inquiring about their veteran's
benefits on all levels, from the federal, state and local levels.
To make it easier on the veteran seeking some assistance we try and be a one-stop
center for all their needs and the staff has worked extremely hard to provide the
assistance to accomplish our goals of being the one-stop center.
During 2009 we saw over 6,000 veterans seeking some assistance, we obtained over
$30,000,000.00 in federal benefits from the VA for the veterans in the district and we
spent over $700,000.00 in local assistance to needy veterans under the Chapter 115
program in the district.
We would like to thank the Town Administrator, Treasurer and Town Accountant for
their help. In addition, we extend thanks and appreciation to our state legislators
providing assistance for the bills we file on behalf of our veteran clients.
We encourage any veteran or dependant of a veteran to seek our services and we can
be reached at 1-888-778-8701 Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. We
can also schedule appointments in one of our offices, in the Town Hall, at your home or
any location that is best for you.
We are anxious and willing to assist you with any of your veteran needs so please
contact us.
In the service of all Veterans,
Sidney L. Chase, Director and veterans Agent; Edward F. Merigan, Assistant Director
and Veterans Agent

WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN STEERING COMMITTEE
The Wastewater Management Steering Plan Committee completed its work of
developing a draft Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan (CWMP) to preserve
and protect the environment of Orleans. The committee issued a final report in 2009
that recommended key steps to begin to implement this long-range plan. The full report
is available on the Town of Orleans website. Recommendations are as follows.
• Selectmen should proceed expeditiously to seek the required approvals and
funding authorizations needed for design and construction of Phase 1, which
includes the construction of one-half of the wastewater treatment plant on the Tri-
town site and sewer extensions in the densely developed center of town.
• The Town should accelerate Town control of the Tri-town site. Negotiate an
amendment to the Tri-town Inter-municipal Agreement to allow Orleans to
terminate the agreement one year prior to the existing agreement.
• It is recommended that funds be immediately released and new funding sought
to complete the preliminary design engineering task.
• With regard to disposal of treated effluent at the Tri-town site, the first priority for
any plan will be to preserve and protect the Namskaket Marsh system and never
exceed its assimilative capacity. A second is to consider working with adjacent
158
property owners for any treatment facility to try to determine what an equitable
arrangement may be for all parties.
• The Town should closely follow reports on pharmaceutical and personal care
products in the effluent stream to determine the extent to which they need to be
addressed. Also, any facilities should be designed in a manner that minimizes
greenhouse gas emissions and energy usage.
• Beginning with Phase 1, the Town should coordinate sewer construction with
other infrastructure improvements, including underground utilities and road
improvements.
• The town should work with the USGS to re-establish a monitoring program to
measure the effect of discharge for any facilities at the Tri town site. The extent
and frequency of superficial and deep monitoring, along with a specific protocol,
needs to be established and periodically reported upon in a public venue.
• At every stage along the way, the citizens will have a Town Meeting vote and an
"override" vote at the ballot box to express their levels of support for every
CWMP action item that requires money. Therefore, the CWMP should be brought
back to the Town Meeting for funding approvals for design and construction, and
not for additional general ratification.
• The financial burden of paying for infrastructure should be split between general
property taxes and betterments. This ratio should be periodically explained at
each phase of construction using actual cost figures.
• The Selectmen should ask the Board of Water & Sewer Commissioners to work
with them now to help with the ongoing planning tasks in preparation for their
administrative responsibilities.
• Tasks to finalize the CWMP should be completed and a Building Committee
should be assembled to begin implementation.
In January 2010, committee members were publicly thanked by the Board of Selectmen
for their years of hard work to develop a comprehensive wastewater management plan.

Augusta McKusick, Chair
WATER DEPARTMENT
The year 2009 will long be remembered. It was marked by global economic turmoil and
what seemed to be record revenue losses for the Water Department. There was plenty
of rain during the spring and summer and just enough rain when we thought demand
might increase. June & July consumption figures were the lowest for the entire period of
1995 to 2009. Water withdrawals totaled 327 million gallons - 10 million gallons less
than 2008. This pattern was echoed across not only the Cape, but the entire Northeast.
As the year came to a close the Department achieved substantial completion of the new
— Well no. 8 construction project. Well no. 8 was permitted by the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Production (MA DEP) with a five year window to
construct. Plans had been submitted to MA DEP within that five year period and
construction began in 2008.
The Water Department acted as general contractor for the project and the great majority
of construction was performed by our own staff. Because we utilized state-of-the-art
159
equipment, the need for a building was avoided. Costs were further controlled by
passionately avoiding engineering assistance.
We anticipate that all work will be completed within the total budget of $250,000.
Conventional work methods could have easily ballooned the cost to 2 to 3 times that
figure. In fact, engineering fees could have equaled our total budget. At the time of this
writing, we have applied for the final MA DEP inspection and approval to place new —
WeII no. 8 in service.
The Orleans Water Treatment Plant is nearing five years of operation. It is a state-of
the-art facility with ultra filtration membranes designed to remove iron and manganese
from the water. The treatment process prevents these metals from entering the
distribution system and reaching the consumer's tap. By the close of 2009 the facility
had made more than a billion gallons of the Best Water on the Cape.
In March of 2010 the manufacturer's warranty for the plant's ultra filtration membranes
will expire. Although the membranes are still functioning properly we have decided to
move forward with the replacement process. It is impossible to predict when the
membranes will fail and industry experts have advised that it would be appropriate to
buy insurance for the treatment process by replacing one of the three membrane racks
in 2010. Having one new membrane rack will allow us to maximize the use of the
remaining two racks by using them beyond the warranty period.
In the face of reduced revenues the Water Department made the decision to slow the
rate of Radio Read Meter installations. This was purely a budgetary decision and we
hope to return to our normal level of installations next year. Replacing our older meters
with Radio Read Meters helps to maintain the accuracy of our meter reading process
and maintain current staffing levels. Cautious and conservative spending allowed the
Water Department to again close the fiscal year under budget.
On December 1, 2009 The Groundwater Rule became effective. This is a Federal Rule
that will require groundwater wells to be sampled and tested for coliform bacteria under
certain circumstances. Unfortunately this additional testing could increase the likelihood
of a boil water notice. The Water Department has submitted disinfection data and plans
for facility upgrades to MA DEP hoping to mitigate the need for this additional testing.
Throughout the year the Water Department maintained its system maintenance
programs. This includes the inspection, repair and replacement of fire hydrants, system
wide flushing in the fall and spring, and valve exercising.
In 2009 we partnered with another Cape Water Department and were awarded $36,000
from MA DEP's Water Conservation Grant Program. The money was used to purchase
leak detection equipment that is shared by the two Water Departments. Staff is learning
to use the new equipment in order to survey the water system for leaks. We hope to be
able to more quickly find and repair leaks - saving water and the associated costs of
production.
The Department was also awarded a $10,000 grant from the Cape Cod Cooperative
Extension. This money will be used to enable staff to continue watershed maintenance
projects that will help us to comply with our Wildfire Management Plan.
160
As required by the new Town Charter the Board of Water Commissioners reconvened
as the Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners in mid 2009. There are 5 members
with 2 alternates. The Board devoted significant efforts to the following matters:
• Provided support for the Renewable Energy Committee recommendation for a
municipally owned wind turbine in the watershed.
• Achieved Town Meeting approval of the new and updated Water Department By-
laws (Chapter 158) in May, 2009.
• Reviewed and analyzed the Department's financials, rate structure and capital
plan.
• Obtained Town Meeting approval for the funding needed to begin the membrane
replacement project.
We would like to express our appreciation to the Water Department personnel, the other
town departments and the residents of the Town of Orleans for their assistance,
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 15 regular open meetings in 2009. A total of 24 applications were
submitted. All applications were heard; none were continued to 2010. Of the 16 Special
Permit applications heard, 14 were granted, one was withdrawn without prejudice, and
one was denied. Of the three applications which combined Special Permit and Variance
requests, one granted a Special Permit (Variance request withdrawn without prejudice),
one granted Special Permit (Variance request denied), and one denied both the Special
Permit and Variance requests. Of the three requests for Variance alone, one was
granted and two were withdrawn without prejudice. There were two appeals, one was
upheld and one overturned. The Board granted one Comprehensive Permit.

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 2009, the Task Force developed text for 5 Zoning Bylaw amendments, 4 of
which were approved at the Annual Town Meeting. Late in the year, 3 other
amendments were developed for consideration at the 2010 Annual Town Meeting.
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 to communicate the
issues to the townspeople in preparation for the Town Meeting.
