Louis (Lou) A. Briganti
June 29, 1953 — October 18, 2010
The Town of Orleans was fortunate to have someone of Lou's caliber as Water
Superintendent, a job he not only excelled at but thoroughly enjoyed alongside his
colleagues.
Lou was born June 29, 1953 in Port Chester, N.Y. He graduated from Long Island
University in 1975 with a B.S. in Marine Science and a B.A. in Biology. He continued
his education graduating from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 1989 with a M.A. in
Science. Prior to relocating to Massachusetts, he was the Director of system operations
and technical support for United Water in Haworth, N.J.
He loved to golf, fish, and spend time in his red jeep with his wife Carol exploring the
Cape he loved so much. His family meant utmost to Lou, besides Carol, his sons
Michael and Stephan and their wives, his mother Sonia and his precious
granddaughter, Gianna.
Lou will be sorely missed for his work ethic, professionalism and his shy endearing
smile. He shall always be in our hearts.

BOARD OF SELECTMEN AND TOWN ADMINISTRATOR
In 2010, the Board of Selectmen and Town Administrator continued their efforts to keep
the public informed on issues that were before the Town, and the Board's open door
policy ensured the public was welcome at any hearings and meetings.
Through the combined efforts of the Board and Town Administrator, a number of
projects and initiatives were completed and many of the actions that were listed as part
of their annual goals were achieved.
• Drainage improvements to Finlay Road, Pond Street, Monument Road, Cross Road,
Portanimicut Road and Pochet Road.
• Replacement of piers at Barley Neck Road Landing and River Road Landing and
replacement of boat ramp at Cove Road Landing
• Federal funding for stormwater remediation at Barley Neck Road, Gilman Lane,
River Road, Quanset and Priscilla Landings.
• A comprehensive survey of Town fees in order to review their consistency with those
charged by other towns and their effectiveness in funding program costs.
• State-mandated training for employees and committee members in the revised Open
Meeting and Conflict of Interest Laws.
• Procurement of a federally-funded solar power electrical generating system for the Council on
Aging Senior Center.
• An agreement with Lower Cape Community Access Television, Inc. to provide public and
educational access television programming and services to the residents of Orleans,
Brewster, Eastham, Wellfleet and Truro.
The office experienced a change in the Selectmen when Mr. Mark Carron's term ended
and Mrs. Susan Christie was elected to the Board. The death of Water Superintendent
Louis Briganti was a great loss to the Town.
As we move forward, we will continue to ensure that the residents and visitors of
Orleans receive prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable customer service, while
retaining cost efficiency as a priority. We will strive in these tough economic times to
maintain the core services that 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,
Margie Fulcher, Chairwoman John F. Kelly
Board of Selectmen Town Administrator

TOWN CLERK
The Clerk's office posts meetings and schedules meeting rooms for Town boards,
committees and commissions; on our official posting board and on the town's website.
Located "front and center' in the main entrance lobby, we are frequently busy greeting,
assisting and directing the public.
In addition to our routine "public" activities of registering voters, conducting Town
meetings and elections, selling clamming permits, issuing dog licenses, registering and
certifying birth, marriage and death records, issuing business certificates, raffle permits
and gas storage tank permits, accepting U.S. passport applications and serving as the
switchboard and information center for Town government, we also work behind the
scenes in cataloging and preserving the ongoing and historical records of the Town.
Changes to the State's Open Meeting Laws and to the Conflict of Interest Laws added
additional responsibilities to the Town Clerk's staff including new procedures as to how
meetings are posted as well as monitoring staff and committee compliance.
2010 was an extremely busy election year which included a Special State Election in
January, the Annual and Special Town Meetings and Town Election in May, the State
Primary in September and the State Election in November.
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 hard work and support this
year. She stepped in, during my absence, and organized the January Special State
Election including all aspects from absentee balloting through to the set-up of the polling
place.
I hereby submit the following reports-

Planning Board Report on the Orleans Comprehensive Plan
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.
The Comprehensive Plan is a 20 year plan for the orderly and balanced development of
the town. It was developed with extensive input from residents as well as town boards
and committees. It remains the blueprint for the future of our town.
The Planning Board annually makes recommendations for fiscal year spending to
achieve the many goals of the Plan. The Board of Selectmen considers those
recommendations as part of the budget process.
We are aware as you are of the current fiscal challenges being faced by all
municipalities, and Orleans is no exception. We need to maintain what we have at
present, while also planning as best we can for the future. That is why the Planning
Board has chosen to concentrate its efforts on the continuation of a limited number of
long-range goals that we think are necessary to the Town's future.
Progress has been made in a number of areas. As of today, 96 of the more than 180
recommended actions have been fully completed. Another 63 items are under way.
Current areas of focus include:
• Finalizing a wastewater management plan;
• Maintaining our roads and correcting deficiencies;
• Planning for our public facilities needs;
• Strategic open space protection, and
• Taking steps to encourage a healthy and vibrant Village Center.
If you are interested in learning about any of these activities, please contact the
Planning Department or visit the Town's website.
Thank you,
Seth Wilkinson, Vice-Chairman
Orleans Planning Board

In 2004, the Town adopted a bylaw to regulate Commercial and Non-commercial Wind
Energy Facilities. At the time the bylaw was adopted, there was no thought given to a
wind turbine being attached to a building. Such an application recently came before the
Zoning Board. We have discovered an inconsistency with the definition of Building
Height, which limits building appurtenances to no higher than 5 feet above the ridge
line. This limitation would not allow a wind facility to be placed above the ridge line of a
house.
What is proposed is to amend the Definition of Building Height by inserting a reference
to the wind energy facility section of the bylaw, which would become the controlling
regulation with regard to building-mounted facilities.
Currently, the bylaw requires a Special Permit for any wind energy facility in the Town,
and that requirement does not change.

PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on January 26, 2010. 46 residents were in
attendance. No comments were received regarding this article. The Board voted 5-0-0
to forward this article to the Town Meeting and recommend its approval.
Article 25 proposes a minor change to the Schedule of Uses table in the Zoning Bylaw.
The use table describes which types of land uses are permitted in which zoning
districts. The table has been carried forward with separate listings for "beauty salon"
and "beauty parlor". The Planning Board has determined that there is no real difference
between a salon and a parlor, and we therefore propose that both uses be put in a
single category called "Beauty Salon and Beauty Parlors".
Respectfully Submitted,
John Fallender, Chairman
ACTION: Voted, voice vote carries unanimously.

requirements for such structures in effect at the time of building. (2/3 Vote Required)
MOTION: To accept and adopt Article 26 as printed in the warrant.
PLANNING BOARD REPORT
The Planning Board held a public hearing on January 26, 2010. 46 residents were in
attendance. The Board voted 5-0-0 to forward this article to the Town Meeting and
recommend its approval.
Section 164-22 A. (3) of the Zoning Bylaw allows the construction of a dwelling on a lot
in a Residential District, which:
• Existed on August 2, 1973
• Contained at least 20,000 s.f.
• Had 120ft. street frontage, or 50 ft. on a cul-de-sac
The application of this section of the bylaw has caused some trouble for property
owners.
To understand the issue, some history is in order.
In March 1973, the Town adopted a 40,000 s.f. minimum lot size. After this date, for a
smaller lot in Town to be a buildable lot, it must have either 1) met the separate lot
"grandfathering" provisions of state law (including the separate ownership), or 2) been
authorized as an exempted lot under local zoning (Section 22 A 3).
What the modification section does is it qualifies a lot for construction only if it EXISTED
on August 2, 1973. EXISTED means the lot was approved on a plan by the Planning
Board and was recorded at the Registry of Deeds. For such lots, the rights to build
would be preserved.
Last year, a property owner applied for a building permit in a subdivision of 20,000+ s.f.
lots. The Building Commissioner required the applicant to demonstrate that the lot was
a buildable lot.
The applicant was unable to show that the lot qualified, and the building permit was not
issued.
Although most of the lots in the subdivision already contained homes, once the Building
Commissioner became aware of the problem, he could not in good faith issue a permit.
The Planning Board was made aware of the problem and began to research it. It has
been discovered that there are four subdivisions in town with undersized lots that for
various reasons were recorded after the deadline of August 2, 1973. Therefore, the lots
did not EXIST prior to the date. Those subdivisions are:
Briar Springs Hills Subdivision (February 14, 1978)
Skaket Highlands Subdivision (March 19, 1974)
Portions of Captain Curtis Way (various dates)
Shorewood Dr/Hinkle Lane (November 2, 1977)
77
In the case of each of these subdivisions, a preliminary plan had been filed, followed by
a Definitive Plan. Under state law, the approved undersized lots were buildable under a
"zoning freeze" for a period of 7 years after the approval date.
Because many homes were built prior to the expiration of the zoning freeze, they were
lawfully constructed. They can be added onto or rebuilt if necessary. However, the
homes built after that period may not have been properly authorized.
It was once a common practice for developers to "checkerboard" the ownership of their
lots so that they were entitled to separate lot protection under MGL 40A, 6. However, a
Falmouth legal case indicated that the so-called checkerboarding must take place
before a change in zoning that would otherwise affect the lots. In the case of the four
subdivisions in Orleans, the zoning change had already taken place before the final
approval of the lots. In those cases, the lots were entitled to the zoning freeze period of
7 years, but were not protected as separate building lots after that period.
The Planning Board has previously heard from numerous lot owners of both vacant and
build upon. After much discussion, it was the unanimous opinion of the Board that those
property owners had purchased their lots in good faith. The vast majority of lots have
been developed, and there was nothing observed in the subdivisions to indicate that
there could be a problem with the buildability of the lots.
The Board was further concerned with the ability of homeowners to make additions to
the homes that were built after the zoning freeze period had expired.
Therefore, the Planning Board has proposed a zoning amendment to section 164-22 A.
(3) that would provide lot protection to such lots if by the effective date of August 2,
1973, a preliminary plan had been filed, showing the lot, and for which a Definitive Plan
was subsequently filed and approved by the Planning Board.
The four subdivisions all had preliminary plans filed before the August 2 date.
Therefore, if the amendment is passed by the Town Meeting, all of the affected lots will
become buildable, and those lots with existing homes will be treated like any other
home in town.
The Planning Board has in the past strongly favored taking steps to limit the growth and
development of the Town. That perspective has not changed. In this case, however, we
feel that the fair and right thing to do for these subdivisions is to amend the Zoning
Bylaw to allow the lots to be buildable lots under zoning. In all, there are 13 vacant lots
we have identified that would be qualified under this amendment.
Thank you.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE
In 2010, the Affordable Housing Committee worked to make continued progress in the
providing affordable housing opportunities for Orleans residents.
The John P. Hinckley, Jr. affordable housing project at 257 Route 6A took several
important steps forward. All funding sources have been committed. A contractor,
McShane Construction, was hired to build the units. A legal appeal of the
Comprehensive Permit issued by the Board of Appeals was satisfactorily resolved.
A groundbreaking ceremony is anticipated for early 2011.
The committee also made progress toward converting existing condominium units to
affordable housing. Consideration is being given to converting the project to a rental
program, which would be managed by a non-profit agency on the Town's behalf.
Orleans has 9.1% of its housing stock listed as affordable housing, and is working to
attain the goal of 10%.

BARNSTABLE COUNTY ASSEMBLY OF DELEGATES
The Assembly of Delegates is the legislative branch of County Government. Each of
the fifteen towns in Barnstable County is represented on the Assembly by a Delegate
elected by the voters of the town. Delegates serve two-year terms, and the next election
is in November, 2012.
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 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 U.S. Decennial Census, with
Barnstable currently having the largest vote (21.52%) and Truro having the smallest
vote (0.94%). The Orleans vote is currently 2.85%.
Various Standing Committees of the Assembly are formed to review budgets and
proposed ordinances. Committees examine department budgets, review new programs,
and also assess the goals and effectiveness of each county program.
The Standing Committee on Finance, in addition to the task of reviewing the County
budget, must assess all major decisions having financial implications. The Committee is
95
active throughout the year dealing with the financial issues that face the County,
including supplemental appropriations.
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.
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, including such current issues as wind turbine
regulations. The recently organized Charter Review Committee is reviewing
suggestions and recommendations concerning possible revisions to the County's Home
Rule Charter.
The Standing Committee on Health and Human Services works closely with the
Barnstable County Human Services Advisory Council on human services funding needs
in Barnstable County, including services for the homeless, and victims of abuse or
neglect.
Respectfully submitted,
Christopher W. Kanaga, Orleans Delegate
BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN COMMITTEE
The Bike and Pedestrian Committee Charge according to the Comprehensive Plan is to
preserve, promote, and enhance the Town's biking and walking resources by:
• Actively monitoring existing bike and pedestrian routes, providing recommendations
to the Board of Selectmen for improvements as related to user safety, as well as the
need for future bike and walking routes.
• Assisting in the implementation of these recommendations.
• Sponsoring or assisting projects intended to support the growth of safe cycling and
walking in Orleans and on Cape Cod.
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 2010:
• 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.
• Actively monitored the Orleans section of the Rail Trail for counts requested by the
State of Massachusetts.
• Aided in the promotion and safe growth of cycling in Orleans by sponsoring events
such as the Tenth Annual Coast to Coast Bike Tour.
• Assisted the Pond Coalition in preparing a bike route and participating in the biking
event for their Fall weekend event.
• 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.
96
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 the Cape Cod Chapter of Mass Bike, Mass DOT officials and other Bikeway
Committees across Cape Cod to discuss consistency of signage for bike trail
directions, spending of grant money on bike racks and/or a better way to transport
bikes on our regional buses, in addition to other consistency problems dealing with
biking and pedestrians across the Cape.
• 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 an on-going
roadway master plan. The current plan was 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.
• Continued working on the Town Center to South Orleans multi-use path. A
presentation of the current findings was made to the Board of Water and Sewer
Commissioners.
• Worked with Orleans' schools to set up the Massachusetts State Safe Routes to
School Program. Currently have a member of the Bike and Pedestrian Committee
attending and assisting the elementary school's Health and Wellness Committee.
• Working with local Police and Chamber of Commerce to highlight bike and
pedestrian safety via multi-media including a banner made highlighting the wearing
of helmets and proper street driving. 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.
• Assist and give direction where possible to a citizen's committee on a beach to
beach sidewalk plan. This sidewalk would eventually connect Nauset Beach with
Skaket Beach with one safe contiguous walkway.

BOARD OF HEALTH
In 2010 the Board of Health continued its response to the H1N1 virus by organizing and
holding H1N1 vaccination clinics and also by providing educational materials through the
Health Department office and the town's website. In total the Board of Health held four
clinics at which 1,375 H1N1 vaccinations were administered.
In 2010 the Board of Health adopted Floor Drain Regulations. This regulation was
adopted for the purpose of preserving and protecting the Town of Orleans ground water
and drinking water resources from discharges of pollutants to the ground via floor
drains. The regulation prohibits floor drains located in an industrial/commercial process
area or hazardous material storage area that discharge into the ground and sets forth
time frames and procedures for eliminating existing floor drains. This regulation meets
the requirements of Department of Environmental Protection regulations which require
the prohibition of siting and continued use of floor drains within the Zone II of any the
proposed public water supply well.
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 146 samples analyzed, 11 samples
exceeded the bacteriological limits for bathing beaches. In each case the bathing beach
was closed to swimming, a re-sample was taken and the beach was re-opened upon
confirmation of a satisfactory result.
In 2010 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 2010 the Board of Health was represented on the Board of Water and Sewer
Commissioners, Cape Cod Regional Tobacco Control Council, Cape Cod Rabies Task
Force, Health Agents Coalition, and Orleans Site Plan Review Committee. The board also
98
administered the town's contract with the Cape Cod VNA which provides public health
nursing services to Orleans residents.
Responsibilities of the Health Department staff include: the inspection and regulation of all
permits issued by the Board of Health, response to and investigation of all complaints
pertinent to public health, housing inspections, involvement in the town's emergency
response plan, administration of underground storage tank regulations, filing and
investigation of communicable disease reports, sampling of recreational waters, and
attendance at Board of Health and other meetings pertaining to public health.

CABLE TV/MEDIA OPERATIONS
Orleans 18 has been operating live since August 1, 2007 and each year of operation we
have worked to better utilize technology to streamline our operations. In 2010 we
switched our online videos to Adobe Flash format. The reason for the switch was to
allow greater viewership across multiple platforms. Residents / viewers who had MAC
computers could not view the windows media files and even some people with PC's
were not able to properly play the files. With Adobe Flash, we are able to embed the
player right in the town's website, thus allowing people with PC's or MAC's to view town
programing.
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.
100
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
to better serve and inform the citizens of Orleans.

CAPE COD COMMISSION
The Cape Cod Commission is the regional land use planning and regulatory
organization created in 1990 to serve the citizens and 15 towns of Barnstable County.
The Massachusetts Legislature created the Commission in response to concern among
Barnstable County residents that development would destroy the very assets that make
Cape Cod such a special place. The Cape Cod Commission Act, enacted on March 2,
1990, outlines the purposes, duties, and powers of the Cape Cod Commission.
The organization's mission is to protect the unique values and quality of life on Cape
Cod by coordinating a balanced relationship between environmental protection and
economic progress. The Commission strives to foster a viable year-round economy with
thriving economic centers and well-preserved natural habitats and open spaces—a
sustainable region with strong inter-municipal coordination and regional infrastructure.
The Commission's 19-member appointed board and 40 professional staff members
carry out this mission by:
■ leading, supporting, and enforcing the development of regional infrastructure,
plans, policies, and regulations to guide and manage growth; and,
• supporting the 15 towns of Barnstable County/Cape Cod with professional and
cost-effective planning and technical support services.
The Commission's professional staff is organized into three main working groups:
Planning and Community Development, Technical Services, and Legal/Regulatory.
Planning and Community Development activities focus on affordable housing, coastal
resources, community design, economic development, energy planning, historic
preservation, land use planning and growth management, and natural resources.
Technical Services focus on geographic information, transportation, and water
resources. Legal/Regulatory activities focus on regulatory reviews of Developments of
Regional Impact (DRIs), development agreements, and more.

Major Activities in the Region, FY 2010
The Cape Cod Commission completed its first annual review of the 2009 Regional
Policy Plan (RPP) this year, focusing on the Affordable Housing section and technical
amendments to several regulatory sections of the plan and regional regulatory maps.
The Commission continued to work with towns to adopt their portions of the Regional
Land Use Vision Map to enable towns to apply for reduced regional regulatory oversight
by the Commission in areas suitable for increased development.
The Commission created or revised many regulations this year to provide flexibility for
development while encouraging a map-based approach to planning:
■ amendments to the Code of Cape Cod Commission Regulations of General
Applications to adopt Chapter H: Municipal Application for Revisions to DRI
Thresholds — to enable towns to seek flexible Development of Regional Impact
(DRI) thresholds in areas that are adequately supported by infrastructure and to
guide growth away from areas that should be protected;
• amendments to Chapter D: Regulations Governing the Provision of Development
Agreements — to allow developments the option to pursue a two- or three-party
contract to provide comprehensive planning and to vest development rights with
towns and/or the Commission in lieu of a DRI review;
• amendments to Chapter G: Growth Incentive Zone Regulations — to further
enable the towns to request modification of the Commission's DRI thresholds to
attract development into their designated growth zones and away from other
outlying areas;
• amendments to Section 14 of the Enabling Regulations Governing Developments
of Regional Impact — to enable a property owner to seek a certificate in
recordable form that his/her development is not a DRI if it so qualifies; and,
• scoping checklists to enable a development to seek limited DRI review in specific
issue areas to provide a streamlined DRI review.
The Commission staff participated in the development of the Massachusetts Ocean
Management Plan (OMP) through the state's Ocean Advisory Committee and supported
Barnstable County's subsequent designation of the first Cape-wide District of Critical
Planning Concern (DCPC), the Ocean Management Planning DCPC, in response to the
state's promulgation of the OMP in January 2010. The staff is now working with a policy
committee with representatives from each town; technical advisors with expertise in
renewable energy, visual impacts, and natural resources; stakeholders; and the public
to guide a region-wide planning process to evaluate the appropriate scale and location
for potential renewable energy and other developments in Cape Cod's ocean waters
within the state boundary.
The Commission completed the annual update to the five-year Comprehensive
Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for Barnstable County and began
implementation of the priority projects identified in the US Economic Development
Administration-certified 2009 CEDS. Among the first-year accomplishments are the
completion of a full business plan and receipt of$40 million in funding for the OpenCape
telecommunications infrastructure project; expansion of energy efficiency programs;
concept development and pursuit of funding for a proposed algae bio-fuel refinery pilot
project, an entrepreneurship services and training coordination program; regional
coordination among "Buy Local" programs; designation of the Ocean Management
Planning District of Critical Planning Concern (see above); and an analysis of coastal
baseline land use data to facilitate economic development.
102
For the past several years, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has allocated funds to
each of the state's 13 regional planning agencies, the Cape Cod Commission among
them, to help municipalities with sustainable development and to encourage
municipalities to form partnerships to achieve planning and development goals
consistent with state and regional priorities. The state-funded Direct Local Technical
Assistance (DLTA) Program for Cape Cod is administered by the Commission's
Technical Services division. Through this program in 2009-2010, the Commission
funded four regional projects and three town projects with a total of$155,837.
The Cape Cod Commission provided ongoing coordination of the Cape Cod Joint
Transportation Committee (CCJTC) and supported the work of the Cape Cod
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), which is responsible for directing
transportation planning and policy and for allocating federal transportation funds on
Cape Cod. As a result of these planning efforts, approximately $26.8 million of local and
regional transportation projects are scheduled for federal and state funding of the
Transportation Improvement Program for Federal Fiscal Years 2010-2013, including
one in the Bourne/Cape Cod Canal area for traveler information improvements, an
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) project installing cameras for improved real-
time traffic information.
The Commission staff participated on the Canal Area Task Force, collecting and
analyzing data and making recommendations to mitigate traffic issues during this year's
major maintenance work on the Sagamore Bridge.
This year also marked the kick-off for the update to the Regional Transportation Plan
(RTP) for Cape Cod, with public outreach and workshops in March in Bourne, Eastham,
and Hyannis. The Commission staff also launched a series of workshops about different
transportation modes, holding the first, on bicycle and pedestrian modes, in June. Work
on the RTP will continue through Fiscal Year 2011.
Water resources staff provide technical assistance to Cape Cod towns, citizens, and
Barnstable County on projects that involve water supply, wastewater and stormwater
management, fresh water ponds, and marine waters. Activities include technical
assessments, planning, education, and regulatory review of all aspects of Cape Cod's
water resources. Water staff members work with local and regional committees and
partner organizations and strive to develop strategies to implement cost-effective
solutions for regional needs. Two recent initiatives in the planning phase are the
creation of a Cape Cod water-quality data center and a watershed-based outreach,
education, and stewardship program.
A major emphasis this year has been the preparation of a Regional Wastewater
Management Plan. Commission staff have compiled data and background materials to
aid the preparation of the plan, with the Water Resources staff coordinating the work of
a technical consultant and GIS staff. Tasks have included regional wastewater flow
analyses, technology assessments, adaptive management, build-out projections, and
development of appropriate maps and graphics. An extensive outreach and education
program will be actively pursued in Fiscal Year 2011.
The Commission also responded to the growing concern about the spraying of
pesticides on top of the region's sole source aquifer along NSTAR utility rights of way.
Staff provided technical assistance to map the locations of private wells near the
electrical easements, coordinated a meeting of concerned citizens and NSTAR
103
representatives, and provided a critical review and comment on NSTAR's Yearly
Operational Plan. Staff participated in meetings with the Cape legislative delegation and
the Massachusetts Department of Agriculture, presenting the need for a detailed
mapping program of private wells and other resources to comply with the setback
provisions in the regulations. Nearly all Cape towns support and sought Commission
assistance for this task, which is expected to be completed by the end of December
2010.
Services and Activities in Orleans, FY 2010
In addition to benefiting from regional services, each of the 15 towns in Barnstable
County receives a variety of direct assistance from the Cape Cod Commission. The
services span the regional issues highlighted previously in this report, but with a local

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 2009-2010, we had 685 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$12,290,383.
Cape Cod Tech graduated 144 seniors in June 2010.
The new Renewable Energy Center was dedicated on November 4, 2009. A junk
storage shed was converted into a renewable energy building by piecing together
grants, supplies and donated labor. This center is a model for teaching renewable
energy to our Cape Cod Tech students and the tradesmen in the community. It includes
alternative energy such as solar thermal systems, photovoltaic or solar cells, wind
energy, biodiesel fuel, a comparison of fluorescent, LED, and incandescent lighting as
well as radiant flooring and our tri-generation which is powered by natural gas and
105
produces electricity and captures the waste heat to offset heating and cooling
expenses.
Completed a renovation of our Hidden Cove Restaurant and we upgraded our Library
by removing metal shelving and replacing them with wooden cases that were donated
to us by Falmouth High School. We upgraded our Early Childhood Education
playground by installing a new swing set and adding 60 yards of playground woodchips.
SkillsUSA is a national organization serving students enrolled in technical programs.
This year our students brought home 10 gold, 8 silver, and 6 bronze medals in the
district competition; State SKILLSUSA brought home 6 gold medals, 11 silver medals,
and 4 bronze medals; and we had 7 students attend the national competition, where we
brought home a gold medal in Marine Service Technology. We participated in the 80th
FFA State Convention with 6 of our students finishing in first place.
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 2010-2011 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$950,000.

CAPE COD WATER PROTECTION COLLABORATIVE
Annual Report of the Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative.
The Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative is a 17 member County agency. Each of
the 15 Cape towns appoints a representative to the Governing Board whose
membership also includes 2 members appointed by the County Commissioners. The
mission of the Collaborative is to offer a coordinated approach to enhance the water
and wastewater management efforts of towns, the Regional Government and the
Community, and to provide cost effective and environmentally sound wastewater
infrastructure, thereby protecting Cape Cod's shared water resources. The
Collaborative seeks funding support for the Cape communities, establishes priorities,
directs strategy, builds support for action, and fosters regionalism.
The Collaborative is staffed by a part-time Executive Director and meets every other
month, usually at the County Courthouse. The Collaborative maintains a website,
www.capekeepers.orq. that provides current information to the general public concerned
with the water quality of Cape Cod.
The Collaborative continued its focus on providing service to municipalities in several
ways this past year.
1. The Collaborative sought and received county funding for FY'11 that enabled it to
provide expert consulting services to towns to assist with engineering, planning
and financial management. The County has hired two outstanding professionals
in their fields to provide unbiased expertise to towns seeking reviews of local
wastewater engineering and planning processes and in the development of
financial management strategies for implementing a wastewater management
program. The consultant services are available on an as requested basis. Many
towns have taken advantage of this service to date.
2. The Collaborative has continued its focus on using regionalization based on
shared watershed boundaries as the most cost effective basis upon which towns
can base their watershed management measures. Towns working together to
solve water quality problems on a watershed scale provides the opportunity to
lower costs and minimize infrastructure. The Collaborative has sponsored a
report that demonstrates the potential costs savings associated with
regionalization. The report can be found on the Capekeepers.org website.
3. The Collaborative was a co-sponsor of a cost report that provides unbiased data
on the relative costs of different technologies employed in the region over the
past 13 years. The study resolves many of the questions and misinformation
regarding the cost competitiveness of some systems over others and provides a
good framework for communities thinking through the scale and type of systems
they may want to employ. This report appears on the Capekeeper.org site.
4. The Collaborative undertook an analysis of the regulatory hurdles confronting
towns proposing to use wetland alternations to improve nitrogen attenuation. The
report defines the critical path to approval and details which project types are
most likely to receive approval. The Collaborative hopes to move ahead with this
project in the coming year to more fully define the issues that need analysis to
lower the cost of implementation to any town proposing a wetlands altering
project.
107
Lastly, the Collaborative has spent much of the year preparing for anticipated litigation
from environmental groups looking to require the towns to proceed more quickly with
wastewater plan implementation. The Collaborative has engaged special counsel and is
preparing itself to best defend the interests of the County. Continuation of local planning
and implementation efforts is the best possible defense that the towns can employ; as
such an approach minimizes the chance that the court will substitute its judgments for
those a town has developed on its own. The course of the litigation is unclear, but it is
expected that the case will be a major focus in the coming year.
While much has been accomplished, much remains to be done. The Collaborative will
continue to support the efforts of Cape communities to maintain the quality of our
waterways.

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 2010, 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. After hitting their peak in mid-2008, oil, natural gas,
electricity, and other energy markets started to decline. This downward trend in prices
continued through 2009 and through 2010. The Compact's prices in 2010 were
significantly lower than they were in 2008 and 2009. Prices for electricity are expected
to remain low through 2011 due to an abundant supply of natural gas, which is the fuel
that sets the electricity prices in New England.
As of December 2010, the Compact had 4,434 electric accounts in the Town of Orleans
on its energy supply.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
From January to November 2010, rebates and other efficiency incentive programs
provided to the Town of Orleans by the Compact totaled approximately $412,477 and
brought savings to 328 participants of $187,925 or about 939,628 kilowatt-hours of
energy saved for 2010.
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.
108
Other Cape Light Compact Efforts Include:
• 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.
• 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 10,523
kWh of electricity and avoided over 18,163 Ibs of CO2 .
• Fourteen Low-Income homes were retrofitted for a reduction in energy usage and
increased comfort.
• 4 ENERGY STAR® qualified homes were built in the Town of Orleans.
• Twenty-one Orleans small business and municipal accounts took advantage of
numerous energy efficiency opportunities available to them. They received
incentives of$207,495.37 and realized energy savings of 436,459 kWh.

CIVIL DEFENSE
Since "Civil Defense" is a World War 2 term and seems a little outdated I will be
changed our name to Emergency Management since it is more definitive of our jobs.
Our biggest threat this year was Hurricane Earl, which in hindsight seemed to turn from
Cape Cod at just the right moment saving us from certain damage. However this storm
served as quite a good drill for our Emergency Management team. With this type
activation I and our Assistant Emergency Manager Chief Roy are handed the Town for
the duration of the emergency by our Select Board. Members of our respective
departments are in turn elevated for the duration to take our place.
Police and Fire are joined by; Highway, Parks, Harbor Master, and Water Departments
all contribute to the end result of keeping our roads and waterways open and operating.
I would like to thank each of them for their participation not only during the event but
after. Because this was a declared state of emergency, departments tallied their costs
and we were able to submit a request for re-imbursement from FEMA.
Everyone in Town should remember that during an emergency we will be utilizing both
channel 18 and our "Code Red" reverse 911 system for announcements vital to some or
all areas of Town.
Orleans is still participating in our REPC (Regional Emergency Planning Committee) on
a monthly basis. Through this alignment we now are part of a regional sheltering effort
that spreads the costs of operating up to five Cape wide shelters throughout all the
Cape Towns.
Again my thanks to each and every department that ends up being connected to
Emergency Services. Our job is made much easier due to the wonderful
communications network we have and use throughout Town on a daily basis.

William P. Quinn Jr., Orleans Fire Chief & Emergency Management Director

COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE
The Town of Orleans adopted the Community Preservation Act (CPA) in May 2005. The
Town receives funding for CPA activities from the 3% 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 (CPC), 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 fifth full calendar year of business in 2010.
Important activities during the year were:
• As 2010 commenced, there were twelve 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 CP Committee, after careful review,
interviews, and a public hearing, recommended four eligible projects for partial or
full funding. The specific projects were as follows:
1. Sea Call Farm Orchard Restoration
2. Orleans Historical Society Document/Photograph Preservation
3. Odd Fellows Hall Restoration —Architect and Painting
4. Orleans Conservation Trust Purchase of Fleck Property on Twinings Pond
The Town Meeting followed the CPC recommendations and, through Article 4,
approved $599,878 to pay interest and principle on open space debt, $75,000 as
reserves for future housing projects, $10,000 for FY '11 Committee expenses and
$136,875 for the four projects, resulting in a total CPA Program Budget of
$821,753.
• During 2010, six projects were completed and closed out financially while funds
from one project were returned by the applicant to the Community Preservation
Fund
• As 2011 commences, there are nine on-going projects which continue to be
monitored by the Committee.
During 2010, the state match under the CPA dropped to a low of 35% of Orleans surtax
revenues. In 2011, state matching funds are anticipated to decrease even more. This
decline in state funding results in a continued decrease in the number of projects that
the Town is able to fund. Despite lower revenues, the Community Preservation
Committee remains committed to its 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 2010, the Conservation Commission heard 56 Notices of Intent, Amended Orders, and
Requests for Determination and completed 167 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 2010, the Conservation
Commission continued to support the Parks Department's efforts to improve and manage
our conservation areas. In 2010, the Town purchased additional acreage at Putnam Farm
for conservation and agriculture use.
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.
A Special Thanks
The Commission would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Leslie Derrick and Jennifer
Wood for their years of dedicated service to the Commission and the Town of Orleans.
During their tenure with the Town, they worked to advance the preservation of the Town's
natural resources, and to help better manage our conservation lands. Furthermore the
Commission would also like to thank Harry Herrick. In 2010, Harry stepped down from
the Commission after 10 years of dedicated volunteer service.

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.
112
The 2010 year saw the Orleans COA become a "showcase" with our new walkway.
Townspeople, as well as visitors from other Cape towns and other states, have come to
observe the walkway as well as our other facilities and services. We have become the
COA which all other Cape Cod COA programs wish to emulate. All of our programs,
services and assistance could not have been possible without the strong and tireless
leadership of our director, Liz Smith, and her dedicated staff as well as the financial
support of the Friends of the COA.
Particular recognition must be given to the entire COA staff including the Day Center
staff (Sue Curcio, Director; Joe Manson, Sharon Chatham and Delia Quinn, Co-

CULTURAL COUNCIL
The Orleans Cultural Council received a $3,870.00 grant from the Massachusetts
Cultural Council to be awarded to individuals and organizations which 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: Cape Cod Museum of Art for "Artwork" an internship between
students and professional artists; Cape Cod Opera for "Opera and You" a program for
Nauset Regional High School; The Meeting House Chamber Music Festival for a
"Summer Chamber Music Series;" and the Orleans Historical Society for "Our
Children's Heritage," a history and art program for elementary and middle school
students.
Also receiving grants were: The Cultural Center of Cape Cod for a reading and writing
workshop for area students with "All Write;" Middle school students and Orleans seniors
were introduced to each other in "Language of Nature and Art," sponsored by the Cape
Cod Lighthouse Charter School; an afternoon of artistic dialogue was presented to
those with memory loss and their caregivers by Alzheimer's Services of Cape Cod.
Modeled after the program created by New York's MOMA, local galleries and museums
opened their doors for an afternoon of learning and discovery lead by local artists.
Two individuals were also awarded grants. Musician and Educator Jay Mankita
presented the "Lean Green Clean Up Machine," to introduce youngsters to conservation
and recycling and folksinger and storyteller Tim Van Egmond presented a collection of
multicultural folk tales in a summer reading program at the Snow Library.
In an effort to streamline the granting process for applicants, the Orleans Cultural
Council participated in an area workshop sponsored by the Chatham Cultural Council.
The Orleans Cultural Council also met with Jenifer Lawless, Program Manager and
other Lower Cape Cultural Councils to network and discuss the role of local cultural
councils.
To celebrate National Youth Art Month, the Orleans Cultural Council presented works
from middle and high school students in March. More than 45 students presented works
in various media including tempera, oil, watercolor, pastel, clay and linoleum block.
Opening night drew an enthusiastic crowd of students, parents, grandparents, teachers
and residents.
In an effort to make Orleans history more accessible for all, the Orleans Cultural Council
facilitated the installation of photographs from the Harry J. Sparrow Photo Archive in
Orleans Town Hall. On loan from the Orleans Historical Society, the photos capture
Orleans residents at the turn of the 19th into the 20th century.
The Orleans Cultural Council also sponsored a survey to help understand the artistic
and cultural needs of residents and visitors. The survey was available at the Senior
Center, Snow Library, Academy of Performing Arts, and Artworks Gallery. The
respondents all expressed the need for continued support of art in
our local schools.

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 the Operating Budget and Capital Plan
and for upcoming fiscal years. The Committee also managed and authorized transfers
of funds to town departments for extraordinary, out-of-budget expenses, from a Reserve
Fund totaling $105,000.
We organized two-person teams to review department operations and related budgets.
The Finance Committee monitored key committees and Board of Selectmen meetings
to be aware of all issues that will have a financial impact on the town.
To prepare for the 2010 Annual Town Meeting we reviewed all articles, and we met with
department heads and committee chairpersons to discuss fiscal issues. The Finance
Committee voted on all articles that had a financial impact and explained our positions
at the Town Meeting.
The major event that had a significant impact on the Town of Orleans finances during
calendar year 2010 was the ongoing weak economy and the impact on town revenues. It
has become increasingly difficult for the town to maintain existing services for residents
and taxpayers while state and county reimbursements, investment income, and other tax
and fee revenues are under pressure or declining.
The committee worked with Town Administration and departments and the Board of
Selectmen trying to find ways to curtail expenses while minimizing the effect on services.
The Finance Committee also evaluated and made recommendations on several additional
sources of revenue such as local options for meal tax, hotel tax, and resident beach use.
The Committee's emphasis for calendar year 2010 was as follows:
• Review the Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan and look at the
financial impact of options for wastewater treatment and alternative technologies.
• Continue to analyze the Town maintenance budgets as well as the condition and
utilization of the various town properties/facilities.
• Analyze school costs and revenues for flat or declining enrollment and increasing
labor costs.
• Review the Capital Improvement Plan for need, accuracy, and timeliness.
• 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 2011.

FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT
The following is a report for the Orleans Fire and Rescue Department for 2010.
While the numbers appear to have a slight reduction over last year it is an example of
doing more with less. We spent almost all of 2010 running with 3 less staff members.
Two firefighters were able to return to duty in December. After being out for over a year
Firefighter Mike Gould has decided to retire as a result of injuries sustained in the head
on an ambulance accident in 2005. Mike has always been an exemplary employee and
was the senior firefighter for the department for over a decade, his contributions will be
missed. We are now in our 22st 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.
With the failing of last year's CIP there is no feasibility study planned now for the fire
station. We are now forced to take some of the planning into our own hands in order to
maintain this structure. We will be forced to replace other trim and some building
components regardless if they may be replaced in the future by additions or
renovations.
Our Apparatus Committee has been hard at work ordering our new Sutphen Pumper
Truck with a 1500 gpm pump and a 750 tank. In addition our new Lifeline Ambulance
has been ordered and with any luck both pieces will be here in time to show at the
Annual Town Meeting.
We were lucky again to receive an Assistance to Firefighters Grant which removes
obligations from us financially. We purchased three new EKG machines, 12 new SCBAs
for firefighting and hazardous environments, and 2 Rapid Intervention Sets for rescuing
trapped firefighters with this grant. My thanks again to Firefighter Tim Gula who
administers our grants.

My thanks to our dedicated staff who despite reduction in numbers due to injuries
worked many long hours to insure our emergency calls were answered.
As your Emergency Management Director I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen for
their support and confidence. I would also like to thank the many other departments in
Town who during emergent times bond with our Police and Fire Departments to solve
the problems at hand despite the long hours that may be required.

William P. Quinn Jr., Fire Chief& Emergency Management Director
FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION COMMITTEE
We are pleased to provide this annual message on behalf of the Orleans Fourth of July
Celebration Committee.
The 2010 Orleans Fourth of July Celebration activities began on Friday July 2, 2010
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.
The Fireworks were fully funded by donations collected by The Friends of the Fourth, a
private organization that has raised funds to pay for the 4t" of July Fireworks since 2004.
The 4t" of July Parade stepped off from Eldredge Park Way at 10:00 am Saturday, July
3, 2010. This year's Parade had one of the biggest crowds ever and the weather was
fabulous. The theme of this year's parade was "Fifty Stars on the Flag of the Fourth".
Justin King, a 4t" grader at the Orleans Elementary School, created this slogan that won
1St Prize in the Orleans Elementary School Parade Theme Contest.
Minot (Joe) Reynolds was this year's Parade Grand Marshall. He, along with some
family members, rode the Parade route on one of the Town's fire trucks. Joe had served
for 45 years on the "On Call Rescue". Joe has, for years, quietly given, in a multitude of
ways, to the people and the Town of Orleans. Joe is very humble and asks nothing in
return.
117
As always, there were many creative entrants in the Parade as well as some old
favorites. We had 61 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.
We would like to thank all of the businesses that supported us with vehicles, drivers and
supplies. Your donations are crucial to our Parade's success. Also, many thanks for the
hard work of the Orleans Police, Fire, and Highway Departments. It is much
appreciated.
Funds Are Short The Committee appreciates that Town Meeting appropriated $7500 to
support the 2010 Parade, but still, we were short funds. So, for the first time, the 4t" of
July Committee gathered volunteers to walk along with the Parade, requesting
donations. We also put a link on the Town's website for those who want to send a
monetary contribution, directed to the 4t" of July Gift Fund. We are so pleased that the
Parade collection, and the direct donations, now total $4586.78. Thank you. We will
continue to have volunteers walking along with the Parade and the link on the Town's
website remains active.
We are looking forward to the 2011 Fourth of July celebration activities. The Fireworks
will be displayed over Rock Harbor, at dusk, on Friday, July 1, 2011 (rain date of
Saturday, July 2nd). The Parade will step off on Monday, July 4, 2011, at 10.00am from
Eldredge Park Way.

Ingrid Moyer, Co-Chairman & Jane Peno, Co-Chairman
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 two seasonal patrol boat operators. Our work includes such
activities as: issuance of mooring permits, maintaining mooring waiting lists, issuance of
Rock Harbor dockage agreements, issuance of commercial shellfish licenses, natural
resource management and planning, private aquaculture management, maintenance of
town landings, dock and pier repair and construction, shellfish propagation, setting and
hauling of aids to navigation, vessel pump-out service, marine animal rescue, herring
run maintenance and restoration, marine rescue, emergency towing and enforcement of
all federal, state, and local laws, bylaws and regulations governing boating and shell-
fishing.
Specific projects for the year were as follows:
• Shellfish Propagation Program. During 2010, our Department planted over
800,000 quahogs in the waters of the Nauset and Pleasant Bay estuaries. In
addition, we continued our work with the Barnstable County Cooperative
Extension in the planting of over 500,000 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.
118
• Piers and Launch Ramp Replacements. Although we experienced significant
delays in construction, the town piers at Meetinghouse Pond and River Road
landings were replaced this year. In addition, the boat launch ramp at Cove Road
landing was replaced. We anticipate that these structures will last for decades
and we greatly appreciated the public's patience during construction. Over
$147,000 of the total cost was covered by a grant from the Massachusetts
Department of Conservation and Recreation.
I would like to express my sincerest thanks to those residents and town employees who
so greatly assisted us during 2010. 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 for their
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.

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
The Highway Department is responsible for the maintenance and improvement of
approximately 54 miles of roadway and roadsides, the repair and maintenance of
related stormwater drainage systems and the repair and maintenance of related
infrastructure. The Highway Department is also expected to manage Water Quality
Stormwater Improvement projects. The Department is also responsible for the repair
119
and maintenance of over 50 town vehicles, heavy equipment and tools. The Highway
Department also provides labor and/or equipment to support activities of the Parks
Department and the Harbormaster.
The major projects managed by the department in 2010 include the following:
Road Improvements:
• In the Fall of 2010, the department completed the reclamation and paving of
School Road, the repaving of Finlay Road and Pond Road, the final paving on
Clayton Circle and Prides Path, the reclamation and base course paving of a
500' section of Tar Kiln Road, the reclamation and repaving of the Police
Department parking lot and the paving of sections of River Road
Drainage:
• The Town-wide Drainage Improvements Project was completed which
included drainage improvements on Finlay Road, Monument Road, Pochet
Road, Cross Road and Portanimicut Road.
• The departments also made drainage improvements to alleviate roadway
flooding on Tar Kiln Road and Old Duck Hole Road
Water Quality Improvements:
Water Quality drainage improvements were made to drainage systems on Uncle
Harvey's Way and Harvey's Lane to protect water quality in Uncle Harvey's
Pond.
The Department installed stormwater improvements to collect stormwater from
the rear part of the Highway Department facility on Bayridge Lane. This
stormwater discharged to the adjacent Salt Marsh.
Other Projects:
• The department has been tasked with ensuring the Town remains in compliance
with the Federal EPA NPDES Phase II stormwater discharge permit. The
department continued data collection of the Town's Stormwater infrastructure for
the development of a Geographical Information System (GIS) database. 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. The department performed outfall monitoring of several
stormwater outfalls. The department participated in several Public Awareness
activities concerning stormwater and water quality issues.
• In 2010, the department continued 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.
120
• The department continued to maintain and repair the town roadways and road
edge areas. Significant time and effort was spent addressing potholes, patching
areas of deteriorated pavement, repairing and improving berms and curbing,
roadside cutback and road side mowing.
• 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 87 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 730 tons of sand and debris from the roadways and
parking lots in 2010. 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.
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 2010 the department responded to 17 recorded winter storm events. Many of these
storms were of long duration requiring extended hours for treating the roads.
Approximately 760 tons of salt and an equal amount of sand were used over the winter.
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.
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.
In April 2010, we had the privilege of welcoming back one of our staff, Jacob Marshall,
who returned from serving our country with his National Guard unit in Afghanistan.
Transfer Station:
The Transfer Station is responsible for the management and disposal of the Solid
Waste generated by the Town. Solid Waste that was collected and passed through the
Transfer Station in 2010 is shown in the following table. Quantities from 2009 are
included for comparison.

gallons), waste oil (1,375 gallons), used oil filters (0.5 tons), gasoline (550 gallons), and
antifreeze (75 gallons).
The Transfer Station sponsored the Household Hazardous Waste Collection event
again in 2010. 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 2010 (not including sticker
sales): Gate Collections: $71,751 Batteries: $1030, Cardboard: $7548,
Paper: $400, Mercury $2440.
In 2010, 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
122
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.
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 5200 trees have been
assessed and are available on the Orleans GIS for planning and mapping purposes. We
now have the means to utilize the database in the field and use inventory for integration
of a Vegetation Management Plan.
Other Notable accomplishments:
• The Town of Orleans received the Tree City USA Award from the
Massachusetts DCR Urban and Community Forestry Program. This is the 13th
consecutive year that we have received this prestigious award.
• Sponsored Arbor Day on April 28th at Uncle Harvey's Pond, Pochet Rd.
Ameri-Corp, Boy Scout Troop 76, Orleans residents, and Nauset Regional
High School students worked together on the event. NStar contributed money
for plant material, once again. This ground breaking event is phase 1 of an
ambitious forest restoration program.
• The department was awarded an Ameri-Corp intern two days a week for one
year. This is the fourth intern the Tree Department has accepted from Ameri-
Corp Cape Cod. This individual will continue to work on Tree Inventory.
• The Tree Department continued coordination with the Ameri-Corp volunteer
group program. This year's projects included environmental work at the
Orleans Water Shed, Orleans Elementary School and several visits to Uncle
Harvey's Pond.
• The West Rd / Old Colony bike path project is now complete. This new
sidewalk connects the existing sidewalk with the rail trail.
• Ameri-Corp Cape Cod has now worked over 6000 hours with the Tree
Warden.
• The American Chestnut foundation has located a number of significant
chestnut trees in South Orleans. The Tree Department is working with them to
locate and map trees that have naturalized. They are now prepared to provide
disease resistant seedlings for use in planting.
I would like to extend my gratitude to the staff of these departments.

Mark Budnick, Highway/Landfill Manager

HISTORICAL COMMISSION
The Commission met on 8 occasions during the year to conduct business.
1. Seven 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 27 -
• Public hearing held as a result of a request from Todd Thayer to demolish a
structure at 12 West Road. In questioning Mr. Thayer and his attorney, Duane
Landreth, the Commission determined that the Owner had no immediate
intention of demolishing the structure but wished to have a demolition permit
available for a purchaser should he proceed to sell the property, hence he
wished to go through the demolition delay period. The Commission invoked the
12 month delay, and, following the hearing decided to request advice from Town
Counsel on preventing the continuation of this pre-emptive use of the demolition
delay by-law.
February 26 -
• Hearing on a request by David and Michelle Lepore for demolition of a portion of
a structure at 71 Monument Road. The Commission found that the portion of the
house to be demolished was not historic, and also not an important contributor to
the historic value of the house. The demolition was allowed to proceed.
• Hearing on a request by William and Kim von Thaden to move an outbuilding on
the property to another location, in order to allow construction of an addition to
the main house. The Commission voted to allow the relocation to proceed.
April 26 -
• Hearing to discuss an application from Andrea Lobkowicz to demolish a small
portion of the house at 27 Monument Road. The Commission found that the
existing portion to be demolished was not significant and would not affect the
character of the main Greek revival structure, and approved the request.
• Public hearing to discuss an application from Phillip and Louise Brady to
demolish a house at 84 West Road. The applicant and applicant's architect—
Robert Evans of A+E Architects pointed out that the structure was in very poor
condition. The Commission members visited the house and questioned the
Owner as to why no maintenance had been performed on the house for such a
long period of time, and wondered whether the condition of the house could be
considered "Demolition by Neglect." The Owner responded that hurricane Bob
had damaged the house in the 1980's, and that his family had limited funds
available for the work. The condition of the house, however, precluded a
possible renovation or restoration at the time of the application, and the
application for demolition was approved, with the condition that the architect will
provide photos of the house to the Commission on a disc, and also provide an
inventory of items to be saved from the house.
July 22 -
• Hearing to discuss an application from Christopher and Melody Istrati to demolish
a portion of their house at 11 Kingsbury Lane in South Orleans. The house was
built in 1923. The Commission reviewed drawings for an addition to replace the
124
demolished portion, prepared by Ryder and Wilcox, Engineers, and approved the
demolition.
November 10 —
• Hearing to review application from Vince Olivier and Kevin Galligan to demolish a
portion of a house at 22 Great Oak Road and construct a replacement for the
demolished portion and slightly modify the main house. After Viewing drawings of
the proposed modification and determining that the addition was in scale with the
original building and would therefore not markedly alter the main historic
structure, the Commission voted to allow the demolition to proceed without
invoking the 12 month delay.
• Public Hearing to review an application from Alex and Nancy Gambal to demolish
an historic house at 10 Nichols Road, East Orleans. The Owners were
represented by Charles Lemaitre. After hearing of the quality of the house from
neighbors, and the difficulty in selling the house from Mr. Lemaitre, the
Commission members noted that in order to adequately protect the Town's
interest in historic structures as called for in Chapter 106 of Town law, it believed
that the Owners must designate a representative in order for the demolition
request to be processed by the Town. The hearing was adjourned to allow Town
Counsel's opinion of the matter to be made available to them.
December 17 —
• Continuation of the Public Hearing on 10 Nichols Road, East Orleans. The
Commission presented Mr. Lemaitre with Town Counsel's findings — that it was
indeed proper for an applicant to provide proof of designation as an Owners'
representative, and informed Mr. Lemaitre of the finding. Mr. Lemaitre agreed to
obtain such proof and present it to the Commission. The hearing was again
adjourned.
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:
February 26:
• Reaardina preservation of archives at the Orleans Historical Societv. CPC funds
were requested to preserve paper archives. The Commission supported the
request, noting that digital preservation was important with friable materials such
as papers.
• Reaardina reconstruction of the areenhouse at Sea Call Farm. The Commission
supported the work which will restore an important element of this Town-owned
landmark.
• Reaardina pavment for an architect to prepare restoration olannina documents at
Odd Fellows Hall. The Commission supported the request, noting that the work
to date at Odd Fellows Hall had been inconsistent and had created certain
problems for the building.
125
3. The Commission noted 2 problems with the Demolition Delay statute under which it
operated:
• The statute does not include a limit on the duration of a demolition delay,
allowing for owners of historic buildings who might want to demolish them in the
future to apply for a delay period in order to proceed with — and finish with — the
Town's rights regarding protection of the properties. The Commission
determined to correct this with the help of Town Counsel by modifying the statute
to include a limit for the duration of the life of the permit for demolition.
The statute does not require proof of an Owners' designation of an agent to apply for
demolition. Town Counsel provided guidance in this matter, indicating that incorporating
this requirement in operating procedures would be sufficient remedy.

James Hadley, Chairman
HOUSING AUTHORITY
The Orleans Housing Authority (OHA) owns and manages one hundred one-bedroom
rental apartments (Tonset Woods) for the elderly and persons with disabilities and
eleven units of family housing. We also own four one-bedroom apartments in East
Orleans which were purchased in June 2001 and will remain affordable in perpetuity.
The OHA also administers three state-funded Alternative Housing Rental Vouchers
(AHVP) which provide rental assistance to people with disabilities and one state-funded
Massachusetts Rental Vouchers (MRVP) which provide rental assistance to individuals
and families. We also subsidize the rent for two staffed residences for persons with
mental and physical disabilities. The OHA subsidizes the rent for six of eight rooms
through a federal HUD Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation grant at Canal House which is
a supportive residence for individuals in recovery from substance abuse. In addition, we
serve as property manager for the Eastham Housing Authority which owns thirteen
affordable rental apartments.
Finally, the Commissioners thank Tim Buhler, Executive Director; Allison Thomas,
Associate Director; Jay Gingras, Maintenance Supervisor; and Al Fearnley,
Maintenance Assistant for their hard work throughout a changing year. We also
recognize the excellent attention to residents needs provided by Pamela Michalski,
President of the Tenants Organization.

Richard Miller, Chairman & Timothy Buhler, Executive Director
HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE
This committee reviews applications requesting town funding from non profit human
service organizations who serve only Orleans residents or who include Orleans
residents as their clients. There are many agencies that serve different needs of
Orleans residents. The committee is comprised of 5 members who review the
applications and verify their direct service to the residents of Orleans. They present their
recommendations to the Board of Selectmen. If approved by the Board the funding
requests are brought to the voters at the Annual Town Meeting for approval.

MARINE AND FRESH WATER QUALITY TASK FORCE
The Task Force and many citizen volunteers continued water quality monitoring in
Orleans marine embayments and freshwater lakes and ponds.
Summer sampling of our embayments continued at three locations along Cape Cod
Bay, three in Nauset estuary and 12 in the Orleans' section of Pleasant Bay. Nitrogen
from septic systems, fertilizer, and road runoff continues to stress the marine
environment resulting in unhealthy levels of algae growth and low dissolved oxygen.
The new inlet which formed in March 2007 has changed the circulation pattern and
improved water quality in the open waters of lower Pleasant Bay but has not improved
conditions in the terminal salt ponds in Orleans. A statistical analysis performed by The
Cadmus Group utilizing ten years of water quality monitoring data in Pleasant Bay, is
available at: www.pleasantbay.org.
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 and SMAST.
In 2010, freshwater pond samples were collected by volunteers from 20 Orleans ponds.
Overall, freshwater pond water quality continues to decline. Property owners who are
abutters to all ponds can reduce the rate of deterioration of water quality by reducing the
use of lawn fertilizer.
Cedar Pond particularly showed stress and large amounts of floating aquatic plants and
macroalgae this summer. A workshop was held in December bringing together experts
who have conducted research on Cedar Pond and Rock Harbor. A grant proposal to
study the impact of recent changes in salinity and future best management practices
has been submitted.
127
The Task Force provided water quality monitoring and logistical support for two
research projects: 1.) a National Parks Service nutrient and eelgrass monitoring study in
Pleasant Bay and 2.) a 14-month study sampling groundwater and streams entering
Namskaket Marsh to determine whether a Tri-Town plume is entering the marsh.
We thank the citizen volunteers who collected data on our ponds and estuaries this
year. Volunteers are needed each summer to carry out this monitoring. Those willing to
walk along a beach or take samples from a boat, canoe or kayak are urgently needed.
Training is provided. Please leave your contact information with the Planning
Department at Town Hall (508-240-3700 x435).

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 2010. Ten Certificates of Exemption were accepted
and 28 Certificates of Appropriateness were approved.
The Committee voted to charge a nominal $10 fee to apply for a Certificate of
Exemption beginning in January 2011. The Committee voted to charge a $25 fee for a
Certificate of Appropriateness, which requires legal advertisement. Applicants will
reimburse the Town for the cost of mailing abutter notifications.

OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE
The Open Space Committee did not propose any public land acquisitions in 2009. Last
year, we reported that we were involved in negotiations that might lead to the
acquisition of additional public open space in later years. This year, the Open Space
Committee worked with its counterparts in the Town of Brewster and was successful in
its effort to protect 39 acres of land located in the Zone II of contribution to the Orleans
well fields. Both the town Meeting and later the electorate voted overwhelmingly to
proceed with the acquisition.
129
During 2010 the Committee continued to work closely with the Orleans Conservation
Trust. The Trust was able to protect an additional 1.6 acres of land in Orleans by
receiving and holding a permanent Conservation Restriction. More importantly, this
acquisition involved private fundraising of $420,000 and a Town CPA grant of $60,000.
Although small, the parcel, an attractive pond-front lot, was a critical acquisition to
ensure the preservation of a public walking trail around Twinings Pond in South
Orleans.
In addition, the Trust now holds a CR of 1.64 acres at 40 Payson Lane.
The Orleans Conservation Trust also gained control of the Nelson property on Pilgrim
Lake. Again, although it was only an acre in size its location was consistent with the
Comprehensive Recreation and Open Space Plan prepared and adopted by the Town.
Orleans voters also supported the acquisition of the 13.86-acre Putnam Farm on the
Eastham town line. This represented the first time in recent years that the Town had
acquired land for both conservation and agricultural purposes. The Open Space
Committee is working closely with the Conservation Commission to develop a clear
management plan for the multiple uses that will occupy this parcel.
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 315.6 acres of land have been protected. Thus 78.9% of the 20-year goal
has been achieved in the first 11 years. During the last 5 years, since the conversion
from Land Bank to the Community Preservation Act, over 115.6 acres of open space
have been preserved. During the same period, the Town has spent a net of $2,742,260
after state and `federal grants, or 52.3% of the cost. During the same period, private
participation has been $2,450,000, or 47.2% of the total
Contributions have followed 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. Completing
the remaining 21.1% 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 public/private efforts and zoning
changes will play an increased role in achieving the 400 acre objective of the Plan.

PARKS & BEACHES
Mother Nature brought Orleans more than its fair share of sunny weather during 2010.
Piping Plover, Least Terns, Great White Sharks and erosion topped the news again this
past year.
On the South End of Nauset Beach Off Road Vehicle Trails were closed on June 1,
2010 and reopened on August 9, 2010.
On the North End of Nauset Beach all but '/2 mile of ORV Trails was closed on June 1,
2010. All of the North End was closed on June 16, 2010 and a '/2 mile re-opened on
June 27th. The entire North End was opened to ORV traffic on August 18, 2010.
The number of Off Road Vehicle permits sold was as follows:
Orleans Resident Stickers 1819
Chatham Resident Stickers 311
Non- Resident over sand Stickers 698
Non- Resident Self-contained Stickers 71
Camp Owner/ License holder Stickers 35
TOTAL 2934
As has occurred over the last four years, the number of Off Road Vehicle Permits sold
continues to decline. The number of Off Road Vehicle Stickers sold was down 12.5%
as compared to the 2009 season.
The Town of Eastham is now trying to lay claim to the last mile of Nauset Spit. Their
intention seems to be to ban Off Road Vehicles from the last mile of Nauset Spit. If this
does happen I would expect to see a significant drop in Orleans Resident Off Road
Vehicle Sticker sales.
Monitoring and protection of Endangered, Threatened and Species of special concern
continued as required by the Order of Conditions to operate Nauset Beach from our
local Conservation Commission and the State Department of Environmental Protection.
Species protected under these orders includes Piping Plovers, Least Terns, Common
Terns, Roseate Terns, American Oyster Catchers, Skimmers and Diamond Back
Terrapins.
The following data was compiled for the calendar year 2010:
Piping Plovers 32 Pairs
Least Terns 35 Pairs
Common Terns 0 Pairs
Roseate Terns 0 Pairs
American Oyster Catcher 2 Pairs
Black Skimmers 1 Pair
Diamond Back Terrapins 6 Nests
The productivity rate for Piping Plovers was 1.09 per nest. We had a total of 10+or-
Least Tern chicks survive to fledge. No Common Terns or Roseate Terns were
132
observed. One Black Skimmer was observed with no nesting found on Nauset Spit.
American Oystercatchers were observed on Nauset Spit. Four nests were found with
three nests lost to predation and one nest hatched. One chick which hatched was
observed for five days and it then disappeared.
The number of Diamond Back Terrapin Nests found increased from one in 2009 to six in
2010. A total of 57 hatchlings were hatched and released into the Salt Marsh south of
the Pochet overwash.
The following is a breakdown of Beach revenue for the 2010 season:
Nauset Daily Tickets 571,248
Skaket Daily Tickets 137.961
Visitor Stickers 124,551
Off Road Vehicle Permits 234,825

Parking was full 11 days and Skaket Beach Parking Lot was full 44 days.
Congratulations to all of the taxpayers and residents who voted to purchase the former
Hubler Motel for future parking at Nauset Beach. Thanks to your foresight, Orleans will
continue to be a summer destination for hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.
The Monday Night Concert Series at Nauset Beach and the three concerts that were
held at Eldredge Park continue to be a success.
133
The Orleans Athletic Association received the Yawkey Grant of $150,000 for
improvements at Eldredge Park. With the grant money they received and fundraising
they were able to build new dugouts, install a new backstop system and safety
screening down the first and third base lines. New foul poles were also installed.
Unfortunately, they did not raise sufficient funds to pay for leveling and installing a new
infield and half the costs of a new irrigation and well system. Hopefully, the O.A.A. will
raise this reserve in the future as the Town cannot afford this type of project with all of
the other Capitol expenses in the future.
In closing, I would like to thank the Parks & Beaches staff for all of their hard work and
dedication. Your accomplishments are appreciated by taxpayers and visitors.
To all of the other departments my sincere thanks for your continued cooperation in
working as a team to deliver services taxpayers and visitors expect to receive.

PERSONNEL ADVISORY BOARD
The Personnel Advisory Board met four times in 2010. On April 7 Chairman Norris
Shook notified the Board of his imminent resignation; all present expressed regret in
losing Mr. Shook's active participation and experience, but wished him good luck in his
future plans. It was determined that a quorum of two members could hold the public
hearing on the Personnel Bylaw scheduled for later in the month.
On April 28, the Board held a duly advertised public hearing at 5:30 p.m. on proposed
revisions to the Orleans Personnel Bylaw to be considered by the voters at the May 10,
2010 Annual Town Meeting as Article 21. This was a comprehensive update of the
Bylaw language and did not include employee cost of living increases. The Board
supported the revisions to the Bylaw by a vote of 2-0, and Article 21 was subsequently
approved by Town Meeting.
The Personnel Advisory Board also met on July 29 and October 14. Topics of
discussion included the role of the Board in general, an employee recognition program
proposed by the Selectmen, and proposed revisions to the Personnel Bylaw for the May
2011 Annual Town Meeting. The Board also decided to ask Selectmen Chairwoman
Margie Fulcher to announce the vacancy on the Board at a televised public meeting of
the Board of Selectmen.

PLANNING BOARD
In 2010, The Planning Board approved two Modification-to-Definitive Subdivision Plans,
one Definitive Subdivision Plan, and endorsed nine Approval-Not-Required Plans.
The Board developed three amendments to the Zoning Bylaws, all of which were
approved by the Town Meeting. Notable was a corrective action which protected the
legal status of more than 70 house lots that were created in the 1970s.
134
The 2010 Annual Town Meeting also approved a Tree Bylaw that was recommended to
protect public trees from damage or removal.
The Board devoted considerable time in 2010 on an economic assessment of the
Orleans Village Center. The final report was completed late in the year, and has
generated great interest from the business community as a way to improve the function
and attractiveness of that central district. The Board will be working with the business
community and the public in 2011 to develop a process to evaluate and implement
recommendations emanating from the study.
The Board continues to monitor implementation of the Orleans Comprehensive Plan.
By the end of 2010, 103 of the 190 proposed action items had been completed.
Planning Board members also represent the Board by serving on the following
boards/committees: John Fallender, and Chet Crabtree - Zoning Bylaw Task Force;
Steve Bornemeier - Community Preservation Committee; Ken McKusick — Board of
Water& Sewer Commissioners.
Respectfully submitted,
Kenneth McKusick, Chairman
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
In 2010, the Planning Department continued to support projects and objectives
consistent with the long-range vision for the town as expressed in the Orleans
Comprehensive Plan, in addition to its regulatory functions.
Notable actions in 2010 include the following:
• Supported the Planning Board's 2 zoning amendment proposals for the Annual
Town Meeting.
• Administered and coordinated a Village Center economic study using consultant
Finepoint Associates. Developed an inventory of all existing businesses in the
district. Project resulted in 56 recommended actions to improve the Village
Center District. Submitted a successful application to the Cape Cod Commission
for a grant to develop a streetscape plan for the district.
• Continued work to finalize the comprehensive wastewater management plan. In
December, a Single Environmental Impact Report was submitted to the
Massachusetts Environmental Protection Agency.
• Worked with state officials to develop management strategy options for Cedar
Pond. Efforts resulted in a workshop with Mass. Estuaries Project staff
conducted by the Marine & Fresh Water Quality Task Force.
• Submitted a successful application for a 2-year extension to the Conservation,
Recreation, and Open Space Plan (CROS).
• Updated and maintained the Town Geographic Information System (GIS).
• Participated in the development of a traffic improvement initiative for the
intersection of Routes 6A and 28. Efforts resulted in a proposed roundabout, to
be funded through the State's Transportation Improvement Program.
• Supported Cape Cod Commission review of a proposed gasoline station at the
Stop & Shop plaza (project withdrawn).
• Prepared a Commonwealth Capital Program application to ensure Orleans will
continue to score well on state grant applications.
135
• Coordinated planning issues related to water quality in Pleasant Bay through
participation in the Pleasant Bay Alliance.
• Orleans representative to the Cape & Vineyard Electric Cooperative (CVEC),
seeking to stabilize municipal electricity costs through the development of
renewable energy projects on Cape Cod.

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 2010 include:
Water Quality
The Pleasant Bay Alliance Citizen Water Quality Monitoring Program Interim Report
2000-2008 was released in January 2010. The report compiles data from 2000, the first
year of monitoring, through 2008, and provides basic statistics on the data.
Thanks to our many dedicated volunteers and volunteer coordinators, the Pleasant Bay
Citizen Water Quality Monitoring Program completed its 11th year of sample collection.
Samples were analyzed at the UMASS School for Marine Science and Technology
Laboratory. The Alliance added four stations in 2010 for a total of twenty monitoring
locations.
In October the Alliance released the Statistical Analysis of Multi-year Water Quality
Monitoring Data (Cadmus Group Inc.), which reports on any bay-wide and location
specific trends that were discernable from statistical analysis of data collected from
2000 through 2010.
No Discharge Area
In July, US EPA and Massachusetts Coastal Zone Management (MCZM) announced
that Pleasant Bay was designated a No Discharge Area (NDA) for discharge of treated
or untreated boat sewage. The Pleasant Bay Alliance submitted the NDA application to
MCZM in February after gathering support from Boards of Selectmen and waterways
committees in the four towns. To ensure public awareness of the designation, the
Alliance co-sponsored publication of the 2010 Boaters Guide. Copies of the guide were
mailed to all mooring permit holders and were widely distributed.
136
Fertilizer Management
The Alliance completed a Fertilizer Management Study (Horsley Witten Group) that
shows how reductions in fertilizer applications could reduce the controllable watershed
nitrogen load in Pleasant Bay by 5%. In the coming year the Alliance will work with
managers of public parks and grounds, public and private golf courses, homeowners,
and landscapers to implement measures to achieve the nitrogen loading reductions.
Funding for the study came from the Cape Cod Waste Water Collaborative.
Muddy Creek Restoration
The Alliance assisted the Towns of Chatham and Harwich in applying for $65,000 from
the Cape Cod Water Resource Restoration Project (CCWRRP) federal funding to study
a possible widening of the Route 28 culvert. The CCWRRP will require no match from
the towns. The funds will support additional resource assessments, and initial
engineering work needed to accurately evaluate impacts and benefits associated with
construction and on-going operation of a widened culvert, and to estimate construction
cost. The Alliance will coordinate the study with the Cape Cod Conservation District and
the Massachusetts Division of Ecological Restoration.
Coastal Processes
In January the Alliance released A Geomorphological Analysis of Nauset
Beach/Pleasant Bay/Chatham Harbor for the Purpose of Estimating Future
Configurations and Conditions, a study by Dr. Graham Giese of the Provincetown
Center for Coastal Studies. The study assesses what is likely to occur with the dynamic
barrier beach and inlet configuration over the coming decades, if historical patterns
hold. The Alliance also continued its work developing a coastal resource atlas for
Pleasant Bay.
On behalf of the Alliance we wish to thanks the citizens of Orleans for your ongoing
support.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
On behalf of the men and women of the Town of Orleans Police Department, it is my
privilege and honor to present our 2010 annual report. The year represented completion
of another decade of service by the Department to our community. It was a decade of
progress and accomplishment for our agency, made possible not only by the dedication
and professionalism of the Department's employees, but also by the outstanding
support we receive from the Town government and our community at large. The
working relationship with other town departments as well as police departments
throughout Cape Cod is second to none and I personally want to thank the other
department heads in Orleans for their past and continued support. 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
137
their constant effort and support we certainly would not be as successful as we are in
providing the quality police service you deserve.
There were very few personnel changes within the police department in 2010 with the
exception of the resignation of long time Reserve Officer Douglas Davis who left after
serving the Town for over twenty years. Doug will be missed as his extensive
knowledge of the community and his calm presence will be hard to replace.
There were several changes in crime patterns within the Town in 2010, with slight
decreases in violent crimes and some increases in property crimes. There were
increases in Part I index property crimes, with the most notable being in burglary and
larceny. The number of restraining order cases and family disturbances also increased
sharply. Reflecting national trends, the Department continued to receive numerous
reports of actual or attempted financial crimes involving fraud, credit card theft and
identity theft. In response to this, the Department has escalated its public education
efforts to alert citizens regarding the types of fraud being perpetrated and to encourage
reporting of suspected financial crimes.
Matters relating to traffic continue to be a significant portion of the Police Department's
activities. There was a slight decrease in the number of traffic crashes reported in 2010
compared to 2009 due to an increase in patrol near high accident areas and education.
The number of major crashes resulting in injuries also decreased. There were increases
in both the number of alcohol related accidents and in the number of driving under the
influence arrests made by the Department's officers. I encourage citizens to contact me
if there are traffic issues within your neighborhood or on your street. The Department
assigns "directed" patrols to investigate and hopefully resolve problems.
One objective of these annual reports is to provide information about and heighten
community awareness of some of the Department's services and capabilities. I want to
highlight one service that is helpful to both the business community and citizens and
that is our e-mail alerts. Any major incident or potential scam or fraud that we become
aware of will be e-mailed to those who sign up to give you up to date information.
Regionalization seems to be the buzzword of the past few years. I want to emphasize
that your police department currently works regionally with cape police departments and
other organizations on a regular basis to not only increase efficiency and knowledge but
also to cut costs. As we conclude one decade and embark on another, we look forward
to continuing our constructive partnership with our entire community and to continuing to
provide the best possible police services.

Jeffrey J. Roy, Chief of Police

RENEWABLE ENERGY COMMITTEE
In 2010, the Renewable Energy Committee was hard at work on its charge to advance
Orleans as a Green Community. In the last year, the Committee completed its review of
the Massachusetts Green Communities Program and their Green Community
certification requirements.
In the spirit of regional collaboration, the Committee hosted the October Cape Light
Compact meeting of the Cape Energy Committees to educate and inform the members of
the guidelines to become a Green Community. Guest speakers focused on the "Stretch
Code" requirements and the Energy Reduction plan process.
Enerpv Efficiencv/Enerpv Use Reduction
The Committee completed an energy audit of the Fire Station and the Council on Aging.
Both buildings were found to be in good standing and required no efficiency upgrades.
The Committee is now undertaking the task of compiling a Town-wide Energy
Reduction plan to be presented to the Board of Selectman. The Goal of the plan will be
to reduce Orleans' overall energy consumption and use by 20% over a base year. This
approach to energy reduction and a successfully endorsed energy reduction plan is a
key requirement to obtaining Massachusetts Green Community certification.
Wind Turbine Education
On its own initiative, our committee continued its education of wind turbine technology
when two members (one, an experienced acoustics engineer) took comprehensive
sound level readings at two local wind turbine sites to evaluate wind turbine noise
concerns. The two sites, Mass Maritime Academy with a Vestas 660 KW turbine and
Mass Military Reservation with a 1.5 MW turbine welcomed us and permitted us to take
Sound Pressure Level readings using the town's sound level meter. Wind speeds
during our measurements averaged 10 to 15 miles per hour and wind coming from the
NW.
We found the readings to be easily within MA guidelines — our measurements started at
the base of both turbines and extended out as far as 1400 feet in all directions. The
ambient sound levels from the surrounding environment (the non-wind turbine noise)
exceeded the sound levels coming from either of the turbines. To help give our
measurements perspective, we visited Nauset Beach on the same day. Standing 60
feet away from the shoreline, we found the ambient readings to be about 5-10 DBA
higher than any of the wind turbine readings we recorded earlier in the day.
Renewable Enerpv Proiect
One Committee recommendation has progressed on to a renewable energy project
thanks to funding from the State. The Committee continues to support the installation of
a 15kW solar photovoltaic array on the roof of the Council on Aging. This installation,
once completed, will offer a reduction in the COA's annual electric use. The project
was100% funded through the MA Department of Energy Resources. We look forward to
its successful commissioning.

SNOW LIBRARY
We end 2010 with continued thanks to the citizens of Orleans for their ongoing support
of Snow Library. As we explore new ways to create more space, utilize technological
advances and foster programs for all age groups, this citizen support continues to make
Snow Library a welcoming and evolving community treasure. Thank you!
Like all of the town departments, Snow Library, too, has felt the pressures of the
economy and the resultant reduced funding at all levels. The library continues to look for
ways to reduce costs yet retain the quality service our patrons expect. This is a constant
concern as prices for utilities and maintenance increase and funding decreases.
Choices become difficult.
Yet despite the above, many popular programs continued and new ones were created.
The Friends of Snow Library were ever present. They sponsored the second annual
Snow Ball and raised money for the utilization of new and current technologies
especially as they pertain to a-books and music which will be available to all through the
CLAMS catalog. Ereaders will be demonstrated by staff members and will be also
available for short term loans to library patrons. Lifetime Learning continued to attract
more "students" and new classes. Through the Rowena Myers Trust an annual "Wake
Up Winter" music series was sponsored. One Town, One Book explored In The Heart of
the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex, by Nathaniel Philbrick and gave Orleans'
residents a chance to connect through a series of discussion groups, a panel and a
National Seashore speaker.
A look at the numbers as of June 30, 2010 show 10,366 registered borrowers, a total
circulation of 186,778 and holdings of 70,741. The library has 114 subscriptions and 18
different databases, not including statewide or regional licenses. In addition there are 10
computers and a growing e-book collection.
A busy children's schedule provided programs in the winter that celebrated Thornton
Burgess with activities about local animals and their habitats. Even Peter Rabbit
attended. Puppets, stories and displays were furnished by the Thornton Burgess
Society that introduced the children to this well known naturalist and conservationist.
March was Diary of a Wimpy Kid party. May was the celebration of Children's Book
Week in conjunction with the Orleans Elementary School. The Summer Reading
Program theme was 'Going Green' with puppets, singers, story tellers, and animal
stories. In the fall, the Pond Coalition presented a program, and Christmas festivities
143
included gingerbread houses and a ride on the `Polar Express'. This was all in addition
to monthly book clubs, a weekly toddler craft class, story times for toddlers and
preschoolers, and a visit from a PBS Zoom creator. This year the library plans to partner
more actively with the Orleans Elementary School in some coordinated programs.
We are most appreciative for a hard working and knowledgeable staff who remain
helpful and committed during these difficult times. They are a big part of what makes
Snow Library special. We are also thankful for the donations and gifts that are given to
the library in honor and memory of loved ones. This year Claire Scapellati, Evelyn
Estrada, Evelyn Rode, Shirley Williams, Martha and Bertram Kantor, William Zuck, Don
Tomlin, Margarette (Peg) Harper, Doris Schmid, Constance Dymon Pelczarski,
Roderick McColl, and Kathleen and Tim Linkkila were remembered.
The October 2010 Library Journal again awarded Snow Library 3 Stars in their
prestigious countrywide index that is based on library visits, circulation, program
attendance and public Internet terminal use. Only 258 of the 7,407 public libraries
received stars and only 10 libraries in Massachusetts were "Star Libraries". The authors
of the study mention that the current economy is probably a strong reason for increased
library usage.
We continue to look at long range planning. As a continuation of exploring options a
committee of Orleans' residents worked diligently on priorities that ranged from parking
to technology resources. At this time the need for some form of expansion remains
present but how it will be resolved depends on the economy, citizen input and town
priorities. It is our wish to work with all as decisions are made. We urge you to look at
the Snow Library web page. Much of the above information and more is included there.
Again, we thank you, the citizens, for your support and devotion to our very special
library.

Megan Geist Fates, Chairperson
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
2010 was in some ways a difficult time for our schools with major budget restrictions
and reductions brought on by the floundering economy. However, I am happy to report
that Orleans Elementary School and the Nauset Regional Schools continued to provide
our youngest citizens with an outstanding education.
At Orleans Elementary School (OES), our 2010 MCAS scores were again well above
the State average. Scores remained high in most grades and subjects with some score
declines in Grade 3 reading and Grade 5 science. Teachers worked diligently to use this
test data to fine tune their curriculum and help any struggling students. OES students'
creativity is also bolstered with an outstanding art and music program. A number of
student artists were exhibited at a special show at the Cape Cod Museum of Art in
Dennis and local residents were treated to performances by the student chorus and
band. OES is also very proud of our long tradition of bringing the community into the
school and the students out into the community through wonderful partnerships with the
Snow Library, the Orleans Historical Society and the Friends of Pleasant Bay to name
just a few. In addition local citizens continually give their time as volunteers in the
144
classrooms enriching the lives of our students through stories, projects, and helping
hands. You are always welcome to visit with us and share your time or special skill.
Citizens should also be very proud of the Nauset Regional Middle School and High
School. Our students in Grades 6-12 rank among the highest in Massachusetts
according to MCAS scores. One area that we began working on in fall 2010 was
enhancement of math instruction for Grades 6-8. Math is fast becoming the new literacy
and a necessary skill in the world economy. Enhanced math skills will better prepare our
students for success in high school, college, and the world of work. Other skills
necessary for the 21St century include creative problem solving, team work and
technology. Your schools offer our students a broad spectrum of opportunities in art,
music, drama, computers, physical education, sports and clubs. Even in these difficult
financial times it is critical that we continue to advocate for the richest learning
environment that we can afford as education is the cornerstone of all of our futures.
Our schools are not just for our younger residents. They are for our entire community
and as such, I invite you to become involved and support our efforts to provide the best
education we can. After all, today's students are tomorrow's leaders who will use their
years of education for the betterment of our world.
Please feel free to contact me at any time. My door is always open to you and I invite
you to share your thoughts and ideas with me. I am honored and privileged to be your
Superintendent of Schools.

VETERANS' GRAVES OFFICER
Another year has passed and like previous years it has been a year of mixed events.
The year 2010 was the first year since I took over these duties that geraniums were not
put on each veteran's grave. The money spent on the flowers was used to start
replacing the bent, broken and missing markers that hold the flags. This process will
continue until the project is finished. Because of the amount of wind we have
experienced this past year many of the flags have become quite tattered or are missing.
In the spring in preparation for Memorial Day they will all be replaced. If you notice any
bare sticks please leave them as this helps me identify where the flags go.
Assisting me in replacing some of the flags was a group from Cape Abilities. I wish to
thank them very much for their help.
In the fall I was contacted by a representative of a family that has three veterans buried
on their family plot and I was asked if I would be willing to place three wreaths at
Christmas from the program of Wreaths Across America if they had them sent to me.
Upon agreeing they said they would have ten wreaths sent to me and I could put the
other seven where I wished. I did put those other seven on graves I thought appropriate
and thanked them very much.
If you are aware of a veteran's grave that is missing a marker please let me know and I
will see to it that one is properly placed.
Respectfully submitted,
Peter C. Howerton, Veterans' Graves Officer

VETERANS' SERVICES
2010 saw significant changes within our Cape District Veterans' Services staff. Our
long-time Director Sidney Chase retired after 40 years of service. Scott Dutra joined our
staff as a service officer working primarily in the Mid-Cape area and supporting the
Lower Cape. Will Remillard has replaced another long-time member, Norman Gill, and
covers the Lower Cape. Norman retired with 35 years of service.
Due to difficult economic conditions and increasing medical costs, we have seen
upward pressure on local assistance to low-income veterans. In 2010 we provided local
aid of over $30,000 to the town's needy veterans. These benefits were reimbursed to
the town at 75% by the Commonwealth.
We also filed numerous claims with the Veterans Administration for service-connected
disabilities for Orleans veterans and low income federal pensions for veterans and
widows. Federal monies paid to 113 Orleans veterans and widows in 2010 totaled
$1,011,000.
Our objective is to be a one-stop center for all of the benefit needs of both veterans and
their spouses and our staff works very hard to meet that goal. We are anxious and
willing to assist with claims and information for the full range of available services.
We encourage any veteran or dependent of a veteran to contact us 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 would like to thank the Town Administrator, Treasurer and Town Accountant for
their help. In addition we extend thanks to our State legislators for providing assistance
with the bills we file on behalf of our veteran clients.
In the Service of all Veterans,
Edward F. Merigan, Director and Veterans' Agent

These funds are needed to broaden the scope of community services offered and to
help support needed home health services for those Orleans residents whose health
insurance coverage is inadequate or nonexistent.
The V.N.A. is committed to and continually striving toward understanding and meeting
the needs of the community. Please feel free to address any questions or comments to
the Public Health and Wellness Programs of the V.N.A., located at our Dennis office,
telephone 800-631-3900.

WATER DEPARTMENT
The year 2010 will be remembered as one of the warmest and driest summers on
record. July & August production figures were up 25% from 2009. Water withdrawals
for the year totaled 363 million gallons - 35 million gallons more than 2009 while
average withdrawals for the last 10-years were 336 million gallons.
The Orleans Water Department received approval from the Massachusetts Department
of Environmental Protection (MA DEP) to use a new — well no. 8 which was placed in
service June 3, 2010.
Through MA DEP's Water Conservation Grant Program, the Orleans Water Department
along with the Harwich Water Department purchased leak detection equipment. Water
Department staff used this new equipment in 2010 to survey the water distribution
system for leaks, as required by MA DEP as part of our Water Management Permit,
eliminating the need to hire the services of an outside leak detection firm. As a result of
the leak survey, five leaks were found and repaired thus reducing our losses.
The Orleans Water Treatment Plant reached five years of operation and the expiration
of its manufacturer's warranty for the ultrafiltration membranes March 2010. Although
the membranes were still functioning properly, the decision was made to move forward
with the replacement process utilizing microfiltration in place of the current ultrafiltration
147
because it provided us with a reduction in operating cost as well as a 10-year versus a
5-year manufacturer's warranty. Replacement of the first rack of membranes was done
utilizing Water Department staff in September 2010.
The iron and manganese removal process from the Orleans Water Treatment Plant
since it began in 2005, has decreased the amount of iron added to the water mains
allowing the Orleans Water Department to reduce its annual flushing program to once
per year in the Spring beginning in 2010.
The Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners devoted significant efforts to the
following matters in 2010:
• Reviewed and analyzed the Department's financials, rate structure and capital
plan.
• Created a sub-committee to prepare draft sewer department policies
• Obtained Town Meeting approval for the funding needed to begin the membrane
replacement project.
Throughout the year the Water Department maintained its system maintenance
programs. This includes the inspection, repair and replacement of fire hydrants, meter
replacement program, and valve exercising
The Water Department ended 2010 on a sad note with the passing of its Water
Superintendent of five years. Louis A. Briganti came to the Department for the start-up
of the new state-of-the-art Water Treatment Facility. His knowledge and experience
proved to be invaluable during this time of transition. He is irreplaceable and will be very
much missed by the staff and Board.
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.
